aking a trip back in time has never been more fun – or let you walk away with so many hand-crafted items in your arms. “They can decorate a gourd, shell an ear of corn and make a feather dart out of it,
make a wooden trivet, press their own cider, shake cream up until it turns into butter,” environmental educator Kathy Kelchner said as she began to list the activities planned for the Heritage Day Fall Festival at Frances Slocum State Park on Sunday. “And that’s just for the kids.” See HERITAGE, Page 4

Bill Lewis of the Luzerne County Historical Society talks about murder, mayhem and history on a previous ghost tour of downtown Wilkes-Barre.
Ghost Tours take those daring enough to six local haunts By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com
A
s he led a previous ghost tour in downtown WilkesBarre, history buff Bill Lewis told participants about a mysterious light that appeared on a mansion staircase with no apparent earthly explanation. The light reportedly moved slowly, at a point very low and close to the steps in Wilkes University’s Weckesser Hall.
connection to the horrific deaths at that site of Mrs. Charles Huber, wife of a coal-company executive, and the family chauffeur, Oliver Gibbons. Even though she was quite wealthy, Mrs. Huber was working on a household chore in June 1923, cleaning the quilts before they would be put away for the summer. “You and I would take them to the dry cleaners. Back then, to get the dirt out they would soak things in gasoline,” Lewis said, explaining how that led to both Mrs. Huber and Oliver dying of painful burns. “She dies in agony that night, in the home, and the chauffeur apparently died at the Wyoming Valley Homeopathic Hospital on Dana Street at the stroke of midnight.” Lewis’ tours will include facts about public hangings, the decapitation of a young elevator operator and the removal of bodies from a former graveyard near Public Square to Hollenback Cemetery in the 1800s.

“An elderly woman on the tour started to cry,” Lewis remembered. “She said she had been a secretary at Wilkes years before and worked for someone who had an injured leg who would crawl up and down the stairs.” Had a ghost returned to crawl to
the office, perhaps to take care of unfinished business? You’re welcome to draw your own conclusion. And you’re welcome to hear more stories – some tragic, some humorous, no doubt all intriguing – on any of six Wilkes-Barre Ghost Tours. Sponsored by the Luzerne County Historical Society, they begin tonight and continue through Oct. 27. Other walks and tours, meanwhile, are planned for the Pine Grove Cemetery in Berwick, the Dunmore Cemetery, the lantern-lit streets of Eckley Miners Village and the Victorian-style streets of historic Jim Thorpe. You’re likely to find any of these events more fascinating than frightening. Still, true historical accounts can be downright gruesome. “I had a number of friends who lived (in a Wilkes dormitory),” Lewis said. “They were all completely terrified. Nobody would go into the basement – I’m not making this stuff up – and no one could ever express why.” Lewis suggests there could be a

His Wilkes-Barre tours won’t meander through present-day cemeteries – leave that to the Dunmore Cemetery Tour at 2 p.m. Sunday and the Pine Grove Cemetery tour in Berwick on Oct. 20 – but mostly stay on the
sidewalks through several blocks of the downtown. Ghost tours in Jim Thorpe, meanwhile, center on Broadway and nearby Race Street. “Our guides have a couple dozen stories about reported happenings in the houses along the way,” tour manager Bob Stevenson said, hinting there are tales about former inhabitants of nearby mansions as well as starcrossed lovers who found them-

The annual festival is set for noon to 5 p.m. and will offer plenty to do and see but focus on oldtime skills in a natural setting. “The view is gorgeous this time of year,” Kelchner said. “This is the time when not a lot of people come to the park, so we wanted a way to get them out to enjoy it, even if it is a bit chillier.” More than 30 presenters and park volunteers will run stations that specialize in old-time skills, crafts and live animal displays. Demonstrations will showcase quilting and wool work and give people a chance to light a fire with flint and steel and even use a cross-cut saw, “that big ol’ saw that two people are on,” Kelchner said with a laugh. A Revolutionary Encampment of the 24th Connecticut Militia Regiment also will be on hand. “It’s a way for people to connect to their local heritage,” Kelchner said. “For some of them, this is the first time they’ll ever be at the park.” “This is everybody’s park, and it’s right here,” Kelchner said. “We want people to feel free to come out and enjoy it.”
selves “on different floors of the Inn at Jim Thorpe, during a different incarnation of that hostelry.” At the Eckley Miners Village, the lantern walks are led by cos-
tumed “fright facilitators,” who will guide you to the scenes of “10 silly, scary skits which will make you laugh or even sing along,” programs coordinator Karen Esak said.
Pumpkin Land
It’s really not all that scary, Esak said, but she doesn’t recommend the lantern tours for small children because they might find the walk, at nearly three-quarters of a mile, too tiring.

o better time of year than now for local Wine & Spirits stores to have fun with labels. “Our Halloween drinks are rolling in,” Ken Spencer, manager at Wine & Spirits in the Wilkes-Barre Township Marketplace, said. “Our pumpkin vodka went out as quickly as it came in, but we have plenty of other things to try.” Among the choices are three wines that pay homage to creepy crawlies. Vampire Vineyards in Beverly Hills shrouds itself in mystery, teasing that its founder might be an actual bloodsucker. Local stores carry the cabernet sauvignon and merlot, each a dark red color (much like blood).
“They’re drier, full-bodied wines,” Spencer said, “and full of flavor.” Not a fan of the shadowdwellers? Consider a drink for the walking dead. Zombie Zin is a wine made by Chateau Diana in California. It’s blood red as well and packed with fruity flavors. “This wine is actually dryer than even the merlot and cabernet,” Spencer said. ••• ZOMBIE ZIN Winery: Chateau Diana, California Price: $11.99 ••• VAMPIRE MERLOT Winery: Vampire Vineyards, California Price: $11.99 ••• VAMPIRE CABERNET SAUVIGNON Winery: Vampire Vineyards, California Price: $11.99

It’s no secret the Wyoming Valley is a sight to behold once the leaves turn. The mountains are dotted with bright orange, red and yellow amid a background of sky blues and harvest golds. Upstate Wine Country Founder Dan Tompkins appreciates the beauty, too, and points out a perfect spot to enjoy the view. “We’re right up in the mountains, so you get a good look at the trees,” he said of the Fall Foliage Festival set for Sno Mountain Ski Resort in Scranton tomorrow. “It’s also being held in the lodge, so no matter what the weather may be outside, it’ll be beautiful inside.” The festival will include tastings from seven wineries: Antler Ridge, Blue Mountain Vineyards and Cellars, Capra Collina, Ferrone Family Winery, University Wine Company, Vintner’s Circle and Winterland Winery. “All from Pennsylvania,” Tompkins said. “We pride ourselves on the fact that we keep the wines local.” A ticket gets an attendee unlimited wine tastings as well as

Not content to leave the action of Cyrano de Bergerac on stage, George (Daniel Roth) and Charlotte (Elizabeth Dowd) continue their swordplay, which frightens Howard (Eric Wunsch), who is cowering at right in a scene from ‘Moon Over Buffalo.’

She’s wearing a hoop skirt and flowing wig, he a ruffed collar and enormous fake nose. Both Charlotte and George have swords they’re not afraid to use in a dramatic, climbing-over-the-furniture, mock duel. “That’s their daily warm-up. It’s how they have fun together,” said Daniel Roth, who plays George in the Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble’s production of “Moon over Buffalo.” So George and Charlotte, leaders of a struggling repertory theater, are just having fun as they prepare for “Cyrano de Bergerac,” a play they’re presenting along with Noel Coward’s “Private Lives.” Poor Howard doesn’t know that. He’s their daughter Rosalind’s fiancé, came over to meet her folks, and ends up cowering on the floor with his jacket over his head. Does he really want to join this family? Af-

ter all, as a group they’ve inspired stage manager Charlotte’s own hard-of-hearing mother, Ethel, to declare, “It’s like living in an asylum on the guard’s day off.” Ethel has a point, with which audiences will surely agree when they watch George get drunk and try to sober up on Irish coffee. Or when they see Charlotte fawn over Howard, whom she believes is Frank Capra. Or when they watch another wannabe son-in-law, Paul, vigorously help George put on his pants. “It’s a hoot and so physical, with so much

going on. I love the whole piece,” said Roth, who admits it can be “pretty darned tiring.” The show – by Ken Ludwig, whose “Leading Ladies” was a big success for BTE – has lots of pure farce, but there is a serious moment, when George reminds Charlotte why they love their crazy business. “You’re an actress, Charlotte,” he tells her. “It’s in your veins. If you were caught in the spotlight of a runaway train, you’d break into a time step. It’s a gift to be that reckless and insane. There are people out there in the darkness who are living through you, dreaming of what they can be through your voice.” The play opened last week, and, Roth said, “It’s very moving for me to say that every night. It’s really lovely to catch those reverberations every night.” Just as George and Charlotte have been together for 35 years, he noted, this is BTE’s 35th season.

en Affleck is closing in on the perfect thriller. “Argo” shows us how near the mark he has gotten in just three films. Since stepping behind the camera to direct, Affleck has yet to make a movie that doesn’t pull us to the edge of our seats. His latest, a deft blend of terror, personal and national humiliations and Hollywood chutzpah, is one of the best pictures of the year. “Argo” is based on a true story during the 1979-80 Iranian hostage crisis. Six Americans slipped through Iranian clutches and hid in the Canadian ambassador’s residence. The U.S. State Department wanted to disguise them and have them ride out of the country on bicycles. But one C.I.A. agent had a better idea. Give ’em sunglasses, call ’em movie people and pass ’em off as Hollywood types on a “location scout” for a “Star Wars” ripoff. It is “the best bad idea” the

higher-ups (Philip Baker Hall, Bob Gunton) have in front of them. So Tony Mendez (Affleck) gets the green light. They need to pull this off quickly. They need this production to look legit. They need “real” Hollywood folks, “names.” Oscar-winning makeup artist John Chambers (John Goodman, perfect) is an old C.I.A. contact. And he drags in producer Lester Siegel, played with his usual profane relish by the great Alan Arkin. Goodman ably plays the jaded old pro, full of cracks about a town filled with liars, frauds and no-talents. Arkin is the hard-nosed has-been who cooks up ways to build buzz, to make this seem like the real deal. Affleck never lets us lose

sight of the circumstances surrounding all this fakery. Newscasts of the day are the soundtrack to many scenes, and we see graphic depictions of the torture of hostages, the bickering and terror and paranoia of those in hiding. Detail after detail is just right. The location scouts are so frightened it takes effort for them not to cower and lower their eyes when they’re supposed to be looking, taking notes and photos. Affleck plays this spy as utterly poker-faced, never strutting like a “movie” secret agent and always wary and fearful but ready to go all-in on the bet once he’s made it. It’s a canny, confident performance, playing straight man to Goodman, Arkin and a volcanic Bryan Cranston, his C.I.A. boss. And the actor behind the camera, the one who brilliantly sums up Iranian/ U.S. history and the awful day the embassy was overrun in 12 electrifying opening minutes? He isn’t bad either. Darned near perfect.

But then Scott humor and meets the gregarious Niko, played language with an amateurish verve by martial artist Bas Rutten. Niko may teach “disco street fighting” classes at a swanky health club, but he used to be a mixed-martial-arts fighter. Scott convinces this Dutch brawler to train him so he can get into the ring, take a beating, and get paid for it. Which is what he does, running afoul of school policy and impressing the nurse, with whom he flirts constantly. The importance of high-school music programs is emphasized; the struggles schools face are played up. But mixed martial arts is a bloody, brutal sport. The movie doesn’t flinch from that, and apparently the ratings board dozed off. It’s not a PG sport, and the graphic violence means this isn’t a PG movie.

ith its blend of low-rent gangster cool, high-bodycount hipster violence, smart-mouth dialog, inspired casting and a blissfully retro soundtrack at odds with the onscreen mayhem, “Seven Psychopaths” might have been a groundbreaking film – in 1992. As it stands, despite some clever touches and one surprisingly moving performance, it just feels like leftover Quentin Tarantino or Elmore Leonard, repackaged and reheated for a new generation. Colin Farrell is Marty, a struggling Irish screenwriter in Hollywood, who has only been able to come up with an eye-catching title for his latest work – “Seven Psychopaths” – but zero ideas to go along with it. That’s when his buddy Billy (Sam Rockwell) suggests he riff off something he read in the pa-

per: two hit men slain in the Hollywood hills by a masked killer. But Marty and Billy, who works with Hans (Christopher Walken) to steal rich people’s dogs and return them for the reward money, soon find themselves dropped into the world of real-life psychopaths after the shih tzu of a local mob boss, Charlie (Woody Harrelson), is nabbed. Charlie wants his dog back and he’s willing to do anything to get it. From there, the fictional world in Marty’s head and the real-
world consequences of nabbing the wrong dog from the wrong guy collide, and you end up with more psychopaths than you can shake a straitjacket at. Along the way, we get a rabbitloving Tom Waits, a weirdly vengeful Harry Dean Stanton, and the chance to hear Farrell’s real accent. It’s all set in a Southern California that practically shimmers off the screen. “Seven Psychopaths” offers lots of quirks but not a lot of characters to care about, except for one, Hans. As a man whose outward eccentricities conceal the fact that he’s dealing with a wife (Linda Bright Clay) battling cancer, Walken digs beneath his caricature and reveals a tenderness and sadness not seen from him in years. If only the rest of the film were as affecting. Like Marty, McDonagh came up with a great title but should have realized he needs more than that.

It’s the beginning of the end for the Emmy-winning, Scranton-set series. The ninth and final season of “The Office” is under way on NBC, with most of the regulars back for 24 more episodes of funny business.
If “The Office: Season Eight” (2011, Universal, unrated, $50) is any indication, the series will go out on top. Sure, the first season without Steve Carell isn’t all golden, but there are more than enough laughs to go around. At the start of season eight, Andy (Ed Helms) assumes management duties but first has to contend with interference from CEO Robert California (James Spader). Hapless Dwight (Rainn Wilson) stages his own power
Cusack plays the character with a wonderful balance of brilliance and madness. “WHITNEY: SEASON ONE,” GRADE B: This was the best new comedy to launch in the fall season of 2011. Whitney Cummings found that perfect blend of edgy but likable.

Among the plot twists: Pam (Jenna Fischer) goes on maternity leave, the warehouse staffers win the lottery, Dwight opens a gym, and the Andy/ Erin (Ellie Kemper) relationship finally comes to a boil. As is always the case with the show, there are plenty of references to Pennsylvania, including an entire episode that revolves around a trip to Gettysburg.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU
BY MICHAEL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK
‘Dallas’ remake continues old story Q. I was a big fan of “Dallas” for its original run and I loved it when I saw they were doing a remake. In the new series, however, they have made frequent comments about how Pam (played by Victoria Principal) seemingly took off and disappeared. I remember Pam being in a fiery car crash, and the story line at that time said she survived but refused to see anyone because she was disfigured. Why is this being ignored in the new series? A. There have been reports that the new “Dallas” on TNT, which will be back with new episodes in January, has tried to get Principal for a guest-starring role. Simply referring to Pam’s having disappeared leaves plot avenues open. But the show is not entirely ignoring “Dallas” history. Yes, there was the crash at the end of the 10th season, which marked Principal’s final performance, and scenes of a covered-with-bandages Pam in the 11th season, when she left Dallas and sent Bobby a note saying she couldn’t stand him seeing her scars. Then at the beginning of the 12th season, Cliff tracked down a somewhat scarred Pam and met with her. But Pam refused to go back to Dallas, saying that part of her life was over; she was also ill, with only a few months to live — but did not tell Cliff that. So, as far as Dallas’ denizens were concerned, she had disappeared — and, since there was never a mention of her dying, it remains possible that she will return someday.

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS ARIES (March 21-April 19). Every once in
a while, you start to suspect that being good is overrated. Being a little bit bad might feel liberating. A playful exuberance runs through everything you do. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Though you will mostly be wrapped up in responsibilities, you will still find long moments to pay attention to exactly what you want to pay attention to. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Everyone already knows the way things have been done. It’s safe, comfortable and famil-

CRYPTOQUOTE
ON THE WEB For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com iar. You’ll come up with a new way. To give your idea the best chance at being accepted, privately work out the bugs before presenting it. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The world responds to your youthful heart the way a good parent would, minimizing the reprimands and eliminating undue stress. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Questions about your social circle arise. Do your peers promote your intellectual interests? If not, you’ll feel compelled to find friends with whom you have more in common. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A major theme of the day is that everyone is equal but not the same. You like the methods that work for you, but you don’t demand that others adopt the same ones.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Being “in the
zone” isn’t just for great moments in sports. You prove this today as you get in sync with everything around you to astounding effect. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Because you want to connect with someone, you will be flexible. Your willingness to meet the other person where they are makes the connection possible. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have so much going for you that you could easily intimidate others. It wouldn’t hurt to be more humble than you think is necessary. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you love another person, your involvement is active. Your beloved will appreciate how
you demonstrate that you want to be an active participant in his or her life. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your afternoon will be busy, and it will help to remind yourself often to slow down and tend to what is truly important: the experiences in your life. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your social circle is abuzz with options. You put yourself across in a way that makes others want to be around you. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 12). Though you are clearly serious about what you do, humor eases the way. This month and next, many find your charms irresistible. December brings family additions. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 12, 39, 15 and 20.
Woman feels guilt over two families she helped shatter Dear Abby: Two men have left their wives for me. The relationship I had with the first one ended very badly (his choice). The second started shortly thereafter, and I am still with him. When the first man found out, he tried to resume seeing me and became verbally abusive and harassed me when I wouldn’t. He hasn’t returned to his wife and has tried twice to commit suicide.
DEAR ABBY ADVICE Both of these men are now divorced, and their ex-wives and children are understandably bitter. Even though they made the decision to leave without me asking them to — or even being aware that they were going to — I feel guilty having a hand in ending two marriages. I’m sure the last thing either the wives or the children would
want from me is an apology or any contact at all. What else can I do to come to terms with and accept what happened? —The Other Woman Dear Other Woman: You appear to be carrying a large burden of guilt. And that’s a GOOD thing. There is nothing you can do to make amends to the families you have helped ruin because you can’t change the past. All you can do is vow that in the future you won’t fool around with any more

Now she does it in front of me, but never when my husband is around. I don’t care why she’s doing it; I just want her to stop. How do I relay that to her without offending her? — Frustrated Somewhere in the USA

Lucky You brings high-energy covers anywhere it goes.
Medleys have winning sound By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com
Many cover bands like to throw a bit of everything into their set lists: A little rock, some pop and even country may find their way into the mix. Lucky You is no exception, but sometimes its medleys contain a bit of everything at once. “We do everything from Kansas to Lady Gaga to Green Day and Nelly and quite a bit of medleys,” guitarist and vocalist Todd Sensenich said. “Some of the medleys have twists and turns, almost like when you’re watching a movie and something unexpected pops up. That’s what happens in our songs.” Sensenich will be joined by fellow band members John Rupp on vocals, keys and guitar, Greg Reigle on vocals and bass and Brandon Johns on drums. The Harrisburg band will take the stage at Breakers at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs at 9:30 tonight. Though the guys aren’t from the area, they’re plenty familiar with it. “We’ve become particularly fond of Breakers,” Sensenich said. “We were a part of this past year’s battle of the bands and ended up winning the $10,000 grand prize.” “It was an honor to us because we went up against a lot of what you would call hometown bands, bands people were familiar with, and crowd participation was a part of the judging. We were very happy, to say the least.” Lucky You, formed in 2009, is

a project Sensenich started with Reigle. Both were in the band Emily’s Toybox. Since, they’ve taken the music scene by storm. Sensenich said the musical influences for the group are as offbeat as their medley mixtures. “We are very eclectic. Anything from country to heavy metal to classical and jazz; every single one of us has very different and unique tastes.” ••• Despite the name of its first single, the sky is certainly not falling for The Sunset Villains. No such disaster has befallen the Drums-based band, whose “The Sky is Falling” did, however, bring it some prominence on the local music scene.
The group – Christian Lombardo on vocals and guitar, Donny Lombardo on keys, guitar and vocals, Ryan Wolk on drums, Anthony Dorse on guitar and vocals and Jeff Tomassacci on bass and vocals – will get intimate with fans during the Mountain Grown Storytellers music event that begins at 10 p.m. Wednesday at the Woodlands Inn in Plains Township. The guys will follow the format of VH1’s popular series, doing a one-hour set that intertwines music and stories. ••• In July of this year, Maureen Kotulich of Phillipsburg, N.J., suffered a heart attack while at work. The 40-year-old then fell into a coma and died in September. Now her family and friends are rallying to raise money for Maureen’s husband, Mark, and 5-year-old daughter, Natalie. The McCabe family of Pittston is behind the effort. “She had a heart of gold,” Shane McCabe, Kotulich’s cousin, said. “While nothing can replace Maureen’s presence in her family’s lives, we’d like to help them in this difficult time with medical bills and keeping life as stable as possible for Natalie.” Believe in Miracles – A Benefit for Maureen Kotulich will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday at Rodano’s on the Square in Wilkes-Barre, with tunes provided by Wilkes-Barre musician Bobby Bath, whose music ranges from rock to blues to country. More than 50 items will be raffled, and food and drink will be available for a donation.
