ockey fan Elaine Stefanko of Larksville has everything she needs to impersonate a WilkesBarre/Scranton Penguin. “I have the helmet and the pads and the jersey and the stick and the socks. Everything but the skates,” said Stefanko, who plans to wear her athletic garb to a Halloween party for grown-ups at the Osterhout Library. Stefanko, who happens to be the organizer of the get-together, is just one of many area adults determined that children won’t have all the fun of dressing in costume this season. “I think it releases something in you,” said Barbara Hartnett, who has hundreds of costumes available for rent or sale at Costumes By Barbara in Luzerne. “You don’t have to be yourself. Or maybe it’s a great way to be yourself.” For Carle Welter of Dallas, wearing a feathery mask and Victorianstyle gown she crafted herself will

be an ideal way to experience the elegance of the Frederick Stegmaier Mansion, where she is organizing a Vintage Masquerade Gala. “It’s Halloween, and you can do whatever you want,” she said. “You don’t have to wear a costume, and if
you do wear one, it doesn’t have to be Victorian. But it would be wonderful if that’s what people wear.” Likewise, you don’t have to sport 1920s attire to a screening of locally filmed silent movies at King’s College – though you’ll have a chance

hat started as a small event with a crafts table, some apples, hamburgers and hot dogs has blossomed into what Ruth Heller, wife of Quentin Heller and a second-generation operator of Heller Orchards in Wapwallopen, refers to as “a miniature Bloomsburg fair.” “Oh my lands,” she said with a laugh when asked how much the annual Heller Orchards Apple Festival has grown during the past 23 years. “It began only on a Saturday, then it grew to two days. And then, some 20 years ago when they were going to have the festival, it was raining cats and dogs so they decided to put it out in the shed, our biggest building, and that’s how it spread to that end of the business.” This year’s festival will bring plenty of activities to take part in, including a Sauerkraut Stomping Exhibition, “Who Wants to be a Farmer?” contest, pumpkin-seed spitting, feedbag races and a ladies frying-pan toss. The festival benefits St. Peter’s and St. John’s churches of Wapwallopen, whose members pitch in with some delicious treats. “They do pies, dumplings, apple crisps, haluski,” Heller said. “It’s wonderful. And these women, they’re 20 years older than when they started doing it but they’re still going.” In addition to the homemade foods there’s a big focus on, of course, apples. Heller said the preparation period is a tedious one that results in mounds and mounds of the fruit. “In the two nights before we’ll package up tote bags of each variety of apples. I believe we currently have 16 different ones in all. We then put those in big bins; a layer of bags, a board, then another layer of bags and so on. We put out each bin of apples, plus a bin of cider, three checkout stands, and we’re ready to go.” With all the different types of apples, how to determine which is best to eat and how? Heller has her preferences. “I like eating apples as applesauce the best,” she said. “I find that Idareds are the best for that. They provide smooth cooking and are the most tart and flavorful apple I could think of. Sometimes I’ll mix in some Macoun apples as well.”

viser to the student writing group that has organized the event. “I am definitely buying a hat,” said King’s student Christopher Cozzillio, who researched the caps, derbies and other headgear that hinted at the social status of a 1920s gent. “I love dressing up.” For her part, O’Connor is hoping the old-time riding trousers she ordered online will match her high-top boots and help her look the part of a 1920s film director. “I hope when they come they fit me,” she said. “What else do I need? Maybe a megaphone and a beret.” The black-and-white silent films to be shown that evening include “Her Fractured Voice,” a comedy showcasing a “dimpled darling of the dairy” who is so untalented that chickens and cows run away from her singing, and “Flesh and Spirit,” the story of a woman who is killed in a laboratory accident and returns as a ghost. “I would say it’s philosophical rather than scary,” O’Connor said. Costume-friendly events from Wilkes-Barre to Noxen to Dallas to Scranton are scheduled for next weekend, and costume vendors urge party-goers
to get ready as soon as possible. “As soon as you know which party you’re going to and the date, you can come in and reserve a costume,” said Hartnett, noting such superheroes as Thor, Ironman, Batman and Wonder Woman are popular this year, perhaps due to the release of the “The Avengers” movie. “People are famous for leaving (costume decisions) to the last minute, and they shouldn’t,” said Jim O’Hora of Taney’s in Scranton. “That’s what comes out of their mouth: ‘Let’s think about it.’ But you’re looking at the one I have.” O’Hora said customers often ask for clothes that represent a particular period in history, and sometimes they want to travel in pairs and appear as a dynamic duo. “They’ll say ‘I wanna be Bonnie and Clyde,’ or ‘I wanna be Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler’ or ‘I wanna be George and Martha Washington.’ ” Looking for more ideas? Last year at the Osterhout costume party, Stefanko remembers, “We had a bride and groom, Zorro and a witch or two.” At last year’s Noxen Historical Community Association Halloween party, organizer Cathie Pauley said, “We had a sumo wrestler, a witch with an electric sweeper, a geisha girl and a fortune teller. We had a lot of really good costumes.”
Let’s talk ghosts
These paranormal investigators will take you behind the spooky scenes By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com
Did you hear that creak? Feel that cool breeze whip past you in the still of the night? Get that sudden feeling someone, or something, was watching you? It’s possible, and, if there, the Ghost Detectives can find it. The group of Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania-based paranormal investigators, whose show airs on The CW and can be viewed on ghostdetectives.net, will talk about the life of a ghost-hunter on Wednesday evening at the Marian Sutherland Kirby Library in Wright Township. Ghost Detectives was formed in 2011 and is made up of members of NEPA Paranormal, a group that’s been highlighted on Travel Channel’s “Ghost Adventures” and the Animal Planet’s “The Haunted.” The team has been all over, from the Cinema and Drafthouse in Hazleton to the Denison House in Wyoming and the Edgar Allen Poe home in Baltimore, Md., on hunts to find out what’s going bump in the night. They’re also available to come to your home, if you feel the need to probe further into all the “activity” you’ve been experiencing. “They like to talk the public and educate them about what they do, let their services be known, that they’re out there and available,” said Theresa Vojtek, the library technical assistant. “They talk about what it’s like to go on an investigation, how they gather evidence and all the

Kickin’ it with chile By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com
Beer is generally refreshing, no? Not really. In some cases, drinkers will find tasting pleasure only if they like things hot, hot, hot. Cave Creek Chili Beer provides a kick to the tastebuds that will linger long after. Often referred to as “Crazy Ed’s Chili Beer,” this brew came about in 1989 in Cave Creek, Ariz., an idea executed by Ed Chilleen. After meeting with a restaurant owner in Mexico who was looking for a spicy beer to complement his meals, the Chili Beer was born. While many other beers look to fruit as an adornment or addition of flavor, Chilleen instead fancied throwing a hot Serrano chili pepper into the bottle. Chili Beer is a type of Chile Beer, a light-colored ale or lager. Cave Creek’s is a lager. Chile beers are brewed with all types of peppers, from mild to tongue-scorching hot. The Serrano pepper is one of the most-used chili peppers in Mexico. It’s Scoville, or pungency, rating is 10,000 to 25,000, notably hotter than a jalapeño pepper. Each bottle of Cave Creek’s brew has a Serrano chili already in it, so there’s no avoiding that burning sensation. ••• CAVE CREEK CHILI BEER Sold at: Wegmans Price: $12.99 for a six-pack Type: Chile beer Alcohol by volume: 4.20 percent

THE GUIDE STILL SHOWING
By ROGER MOORE McClatchy-Tribune News Service “Alex Cross” is an interesting exercise in back-engineering, a prequel that takes us to the days before the psychologist/ police profiler was the sage, solemn and inscrutable sleuth Morgan Freeman ably brought to the screen in two films more than a decade ago. This Cross is cocky, a bit trigger-happy, prone to revenge and a real “action hero.” And this Cross is played by Tyler Perry. By definition, he’s less interesting. When you fill in somebody’s back story, you strip away their “loner” mystique. And when you make Tyler Perry run and point a gun, you remember why nobody’s ever used him as an action figure before. We meet Cross as a domesticated Detroit “detective-doctor,” an observant wizard his colleagues call “Gandalf,” a man his boss can point at a crime and say, “Solve it, please.” That’s what happens when an unnamed

Rob Cohen pays more attention totheshootoutsandfightsthanthe flow of the film, never fretting that there isn’t a moment’s suspense, never letting us feel for the victims. “Alex Cross” is not an awful movie but not very compelling either.

Isthereanybetterwaytocelebrate James Bond’s 50th birthday than by watching all 22 of the films in high-def? While a dozen of 007’s adventuresalreadyareavailableonBluray, the box set “Bond 50” (19622010, Fox, R, $300) packages the earlier releases with the remaining nine titles (including “The Spy Who Loved Me,” “You Only Live Twice” and “Diamonds are Forever”) for a collection that’s downright spectacular. The extras include a whopping 130 hours of featurettes as well as a bonus disc of material notavailableonearlierDVDeditions. What’s the local connection? TomMankiewicz,sonofWilkesBarre-born filmmaker Joseph Mankiewicz (“All About Eve”), wrote, co-wrote or script-doctored at least five Bonds: “Diamonds are Forever,” “Live and Let Die,” “The Man With The Golden Gun,” “The Spy Who Loved Me” and “Moonraker.” Mankiewicz got the Bond breakthrough with, of all things, a 1970 Broadway production called “Georgy Girl.” The musical, for
“MADAGASCAR 3: EUROPE’S MOST WANTED,” GRADE A: Except for the marvelous military-minded penguins, the first two “Madagascar” offerings were lame. They must have been saving the best for part three. “Madagascar 3” is charming, beautifully animated and, best of all, side-splittingly funny. This is a rare occasion where the product has improved with age. “ALCATRAZ: THE COMPLETE SERIES,” GRADE B-PLUS: The shortlived Fox series from J.J. Abrams looks at what happens when all the guards and prisoners at the prison vanish, then begin reappearing years later. It’s “Lost” meets “Prison Break.” “CHERNOBYL DIARIES,” GRADE C-MINUS: Young people find terror at the site of the nuclear accident. Other than the setting, there’s little about the film to distinguish it from all of the other horror films where a group of good-looking people find themselves in a deadly situation and make silly decisions as they are picked off one by one. “THAT’S MY BOY,” GRADE D-MINUS: A bad dad (Adam Sandler) tries to reconnect with his son in Sandler’s latest film fiasco. It starts with statutory rape and ends with incest. Let the laughter begin. ••• ALSO NEW ON DVD: “THE ICE HOUSE”: Detectives must decide if a body is a new or old case. Daniel Craig stars. “MOONRISE KINGDOM”: Two 12year-olds fall in love, run away into the wilderness. “PETE’S DRAGON”: Disney film is on Blu-ray to mark its 35th anniversary.
50 years of Bond which Mankiewicz wrote the book, ran for only four performances, but Bond producer Albert “Cubby” Broccoli happened to catch one of those four and was impressed by what he saw. Afterward, Broccoli offered Mankiewicz the job of re-working “Diamonds Are Forever,” the 1971 actioner set in Las Vegas. The seventh Bond adventure, starring Sean Connery, is fun despite a bunch of secondrate villains. After Bond, Mankiewicz left his imprint on scores of action movies and comedies, including “Superman: The Movie,” “Gremlins,” “The Goonies,” “WarGames,” “Dragnet” and “Legal Eagles.” He died of pancreatic cancer on July 31, 2010.

Folk gets experimental IF YOU GO
By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com
Folk singer Katie Kelly will celebrate her newly released fulllength “Three Dark Days” tomorrow night at The Rattler in Pittston, with special guest Giants of Leisure. The 27-year-old Wilkes-Barre resident likened the recording process to “taking the SATs for 13 hours straight, with such a high level of focus.” ••• Q: You sing and play guitar, but did you use anyone else for the instruments on the album? A: I was able to borrow a lot of people, which I was really happy about because I didn’t want it to sound generic. I wanted it to have some diversity. It was really cool to have people add ideas I would have never thought of. Q: How would you describe the sound of the album? A: At first I was trying to make a very bare folk album, maybe bass, guitar, drums and a banjo or something. Then I started playing in a rock band, The Love Crimes, and it was a group with a wide range of influences. … I was trying stuff I had never tried before. It has its roots in folk, but I think it’s a little experimental. I do love that hardcore folk, but I think the folk purists would kind of scoff because it has electric guitar, and it’s full of synth. Q: Do any tracks hold special meaning?

Katie Kelly celebrates her debut full-length this weekend.
A: The final song, “Jacob.” I’ve played it live like twice because it’s extremely personal, and it’s a universal theme. When doing it live people are affected by it. Q: Who is “Jacob?” A: I randomly picked the name. I was playing guitar, and Jacob Dylan was on the cover of a guitar magazine I was reading. I wanted a generic name so people could put their own situation into it. Many people have suffered watching their loved ones die. It’s not just about one person. People have heard the song and told me there’s a Jacob in their life, someone they tried to save and they’re feeling this regret because they couldn’t. Q: The album is titled “Three Dark Days.” Any meaning? A: One of the songs I’d been playing out, “Bless Me Father,” has a line in it that says “Three dark days since my last confes-

sion.” I picked a random lyric because I wanted the title to recall a song from the album. Then I got to thinking about it and, according to the Zodiac, the “three dark days” in December is a time when the sun is perceived as being non-existent, then after the third day it seemingly rises again. I liked that metaphor, of things getting better, a light at the end of the tunnel. ••• Walk this way…right into a show you’d swear was played by legendary rockers Aerosmith. Draw the Line, a Bostonbased tribute band, will play at 10 tonight at Brews Brothers West on Main Street in Luzerne. Lead Neill Byrnes is nearly an exact copy of Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler and even got to work with the rocker’s voice coach after he blew Tyler away during a look-alike contest.

CELEBRITY Q&A BY R.D. HELDENFELS
JUMBLE
UNIVERSAL SUDOKU
BY MICHAEL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK
Phyllis Diller film not available on DVD Q. The late Phyllis Diller was in a 1969 movie called “The Adding Machine.” Is this available in some format? Also, she was in a TV series called “The Pruitts of Southampton.” Can you give me any info on this? A. Diller, who died in August at the age of 95, did indeed co-star in “The Adding Machine,” starring Milo O’Shea as Mr. Zero, a bookkeeper about to be replaced by an adding machine. (Diller was the shrewish Mrs. Zero.) It was based on a 1923 play by Elmer Rice, which was also adapted into a 2007 musical. I do not know of an authorized video release; I did see a clip from the film on YouTube. “The Pruitts of Southampton” aired on ABC in 1966-67; Diller played a widow hiding her family’s bankruptcy while living in a mansion. According to “The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows,” the series’ name was changed to “The Phyllis Diller Show” in January 1967, and the mansion became a boardinghouse. The whole thing was based on “House Party,” a novel by Patrick Dennis. The cast included Reginald Gardiner, Gypsy Rose Lee, Charles Lane and — after the retooling, Paul Lynde, Richard Deacon — and John Astin and Marty Ingels, who several years earlier had costarred in “I’m Dickens, He’s Fenster.” I do not know of an authorized “Pruitts” release on video.

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may find
yourself with an endless to-do list that absorbs your time. Could you reassign some of your tasks to someone else? Delegation equals freedom. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Cool down and relax. There is nothing to be gained from rushing around. Besides, you look more confident and in control when you move slowly. The world will wait for you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be inexplicably drawn to an odd adventure. This road may seem potentially unpleasant
PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION
CRYPTOQUOTE
ON THE WEB For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com and downright difficult, but no matter. It’s the kind of thing you do just so you never have to do it again. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Try to steer the action where you want it to go. The same goes for conversation. Otherwise, you’ll tune out and get lost in your own thoughts, alienating the speaker. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The perceived authority of the people involved in a deal will affect how it goes down. Whether in business or your personal life, do all you can to build your good name. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Trying to do a task perfectly robs you of the wonderful floating feeling of engagement in the same way that watching the clock prevents you from enjoying the moments.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re an expert
politician, partly because you realize that politics doesn’t only pertain to large organizations. Politics is alive in every transaction between human beings. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It takes maturity to understand that much that happens in a day depends on what a person did the night before. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s much to be gained in the process of leaving. When you say goodbye to a situation, you are also saying goodbye to the person you were inside that situation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll have an opportunity to publicize your cause, make your request widely known or send a message to more people than you’ve
ever been able to reach before.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Sometimes
all it takes is a little push to send you flying. This is usually true when you’ve already tested your wings and have them fully extended. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). For you to play devil’s advocate, or to adopt any conflicting point of view, you have to have an excellent reason — for instance, it’s really what you believe. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 19). The year brings a rebirth of your intellectual life, and you’ll be drawn to new interests, teachers and art forms. You’ll reap personal benefits from institutions and political and economic trends. Your lucky numbers are: 45, 43, 1, 23 and 15.
Woman’s healthy eating habits have taken unhealthy turn Dear Abby: I have recently developed what I consider to be a very healthy lifestyle. I exercise, eat lots of fruits and vegetables and mostly whole foods. My problem is I think I may be becoming obsessed. It has become harder and harder to eat away from home. I constantly plan what I’m going to eat next. Apparently, there’s a disorder similar to anorexia known as
DEAR ABBY ADVICE orthorexia. It’s the psychological obsession with eating healthy. I don’t think I could be classified as an extreme case, but what should I do before I become one? — Obsessed in Boston Dear Obsessed: As with any obsessive disorder, the first step is realizing and admitting
you may have one. Then discuss it with your physician and ask for a referral to a psychologist who specializes in eating disorders. This is not to say that you have a disorder — but because more and more of your time is being devoted to thoughts of food, it would be a good idea to check. Too much of a good thing can be harmful if it is taken too far. Dear Abby: I work in a building with one kitchen for 40 people. Often there is a wait

to use the microwave around lunchtime. Recently I needed to use it and found a warm packaged meal in there, and no owner around. I waited five minutes and came back. It was still there. I decided to place it on the counter with a napkin covering it so I could use the microwave. When I was finished, no one appeared to claim it, so I put it back in and went on my way. Did I do the right thing? What’s proper in this situation? Should I have just waited? — Hungry in Ithaca, N.Y.
