Breaker Brewing Company ready to unveil new home on the hill

CLARK VAN ORDEN PHOTOS/THE TIMES LEADER

One of the classrooms of the school that was part of St. Joseph’s Monastery parish has been converted into the tap room for Breaker Brewing Co. The bar was made from recycled pews from the church next door.

for crafting high-quality beverages from fermented grains. So it seems ﬁtting that two local entrepreneurs have found a new home for the Breaker Brewing Co. in what was once a four-room schoolhouse connected to the former St. Joseph’s Monastery in WilkesBarre Township. “To me, the atmosphere is great, so

ll through the Dark Ages of medieval Europe, monks and nuns kept the spark of learning alive. They copied scriptures, practiced medicine, composed music — and brewed beer. Back in the 12th century, the Benedictine abbess Hildegard von Bingen wrote about the health beneﬁts of hops and, even today, you still can visit monasteries in Belgium, Germany and the Czech Republic that have earned a reputation

quiet and peaceful. We plan to keep it that way,” said Mark Lehman, 41, of Hanover Township. “You get a great view of the Valley,” added Chris Miller, 39, of Plains Township, noting the location high on the steep hill of Northampton Street. The two men, friends since their highschool days when they worked together stocking shelves and rounding up shopping carts at the former Sunshine Market, expect to open Breaker Brewing Co. for tours and tastings as early as next week. “We’ll announce (the official opening) on our Facebook page,” Miller said. For those who aren’t into Facebook, Lehman offered a phone number: 570392-9078. The hours they’ll be open could well be 4 to 8 p.m. on weekdays, longer on weekends, Miller said. When you visit, you’ll find the classroom chalkboards still intact, except for the one in the tap room where a row of gleaming faucets has been attached to the wall. Avid do-it-yourselfers Miller and Lehman handled that task themselves, along with building a bar from recycled oak pews, pouring concrete, installing new bathrooms and building their own brewing equipment. “This is the kind of wood you can use for wainscoting. You can get it at Lowe’s,” Lehman said, pointing out the material they used to dress up the outside of the stainless-steel “kettle” and “mash tun” that are part of the beermaking process. They did have help from friends and relatives, including Lehman’s father-inlaw, Tom Fender, who loaned his carpentry skills and Miller’s father, Art, who contributed old-time photographs of miners and tonnage reports that reflect the area’s anthracite heritage. “This is a favorite of everyone who comes in,” Miller said, pointing to a sepiatoned picture behind the bar that shows an official pouring alcohol on the ground during Prohibition. Nowadays, most people would be reluctant to waste the craft beers that Lehman and Miller consider a labor of love — adding such touches as freshly ground coriander or homemade strawberry extract to enhance the flavor. Their most popular brew is Lunch Pail Ale, which Miller describes as “a hoppy pale ale, golden in color, with a nice floral aroma.” Other beers they offer year-round include Olde King Coal Stout, 5 Whistle Wheat and Malty Maguires. Seasonally, they offer a “chocolatey” beer named Black Mariah in honor of the horse-drawn vehicle that sometimes was used as an ambulance or hearse;

Mark Lehman of Hanover Township and Chris Miller of Plains Township will soon welcome visitors for tastings and tours at Breaker Brewing Co. on Northampton Street in Wilkes-Barre Township.

Quiet Canary, which honors the caged birds who died as an indicator of toxic fumes in the mines, and a Christmas-time beer called Belsnickler in honor of “the sinister Santa” who carried a switch for naughty children. Lehman admitted he learned that bit of folklore only recently, because his grandmother used the term in a different way. “When we went out Halloweening, she’d say, ‘Oh, you’re going out Belsnickling,’ ” he remembered with a laugh. For the past few years Lehman and Miller have brewed beer in Miller’s Plains Township garage, eventually supplying 25 taverns from Nanticoke to Nicholson. As they outgrew the space, they looked for a new location. The roughly 2.5-acre property on Northampton Street, which includes the former rectory, church and convent as well as the school, seemed ideal. “We keep hearing from people who used to go to school here,” Lehman said. “They’re excited about what we’re doing.” “Congratulations on breathing life into an iconic township structure which was probably destined for the wrecking ball,” a well-wisher named Jim posted on the brewing company’s Facebook page. “I can’t believe the original lights and blackboards are still there,” wrote a 1968

I went there in the 1950s. May I visit?” Much sooner than that, the building will be open and welcoming the curious and the thirsty. Some could be friends from the neighborhood, and some might be people who otherwise would never have a reason to stop in the residential sections of Wilkes-Barre Township. “We’d like to see this place become a destination,” Miller said.

“Part Mexican and part American Indian, he’s a construction worker who’s hauling things and cleaning things up and living in a shabby house in a terrible part of Detroit,” she continued. “He thinks of himself as an artist, and he believes all work is honorable and that nobody is better than anybody else.” Generally overlooked for decades in the United States, Rodriguez’s music achieves fame in South Africa, where the anti-Apartheid movement embraces it. When fans discover he is still alive, they invite him there to give a concert. In the documentary, Morgan said, “His daughter keeps hoping ‘more than 20 people will come’ so her father won’t be embarrassed.” When he arrives at the stadium, an enormous crowd is waiting, ready to sing along. “They know every word he has written.” “It’s so uplifting,” Morgan said. “If you don’t see any others, see this one.” That said, the festival offers a wide selection of ﬁlms, and most will be shown several times.

scribed as “lighthearted, fun ﬁlms.” Just don’t mistake “Quartet” for “A Late Quartet.” Even as she bemoaned the confusion of similar names, Morgan said the amusing “Quartet” stars Maggie Smith as one of several retired opera singers who join forces for an annual fund-raiser and “must deal with big egos and romances from the past.” The more somber “A Late Quartet” focuses on a world-famous strings ensemble whose members are facing what might be their last concert together because of the cellist’s growing health concerns. The festival also offers such Oscar nominees as “The Impossible,” set in Thailand after a tsunami, and “Amour,” which shows the challenges an elderly couple faces after one of them suffers a stroke. Foreign offerings include “Lore,” which tells of four children crossing post-war Germany to try to reach their grandmother’s farm; the Danish “A Royal Affair,” which stars Mads Mikkelsen of “Hannibal” fame; and “Rust and Bone,” which showcases a whale trainer’s emotional healing after a tragic

Study and stroll simultaneously By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com

f you’re zipping along Wilkes-Barre’s South Franklin Street or South River Street in a car, you might be vaguely aware you’re passing some spectacular old homes. But slow down and saunter past them with a guide, and you can learn about architectural styles, from Georgian to Tudor to Chateauesque, as well as the history of the people who built them. Take another stroll, this one through the Nesbitt Park, and you can learn about plants and animals that live there and how the riparian barrier helps keep pollutants out of the Susquehanna River and Chesapeake Bay. Other planned outings can give you a chance to explore college campuses, see what’s growing in community gardens, and visit ethnic eateries and bodegas in Hazleton to see what they have to offer. “Walking has wonderful beneﬁts for people’s emotional health and mental health as well as physical health,” said Carol Hussa of Wilkes-Barre, coordinator of the “Y Walk Wednesdays” program. Over the past few years the series of organized walks has given thousands of area residents an opportunity to get some exercise while they learn more about their communities. This year’s program starts in June, and outings will leave from the lobbies of the Wilkes-Barre or Hazleton YMCAs late on Wednesday afternoons. “You may come with friends or you may come alone,” Hussa said. “Either way, you’ll

replicate the “rudely stamped … deformed, unﬁnished” appearance the playwright described for the character. The historic Richard likely had scoliosis, a condition that causes a curved spine, history professor Brian Pavlac explained. And, in real life, he may not have been quite as evil as Shakespeare painted him. Pavlac wrote for the college pro-

duction an opening scene in which a passerby in present-day England encounters workers at an excavation site where Richard III’s remains have been found. One of the workers describes Richard as having a “bloody, murdering heart, the bastard!” The other points out that history is written by the victors.

Lady Anne is grieving over her father-in-law’s body when the man who killed him — and, earlier, slew her husband — has the nerve to stop the funeral procession. “Either heaven with lightning strike the murderer dead, or earth, gape open wide and eat him quick,” she says, clearly wanting Richard of Gloucester to be punished. To her mind, this intruder with blood scarcely washed from his hands, is “unﬁt for any place but hell.” “Yes, one place else,” he replies silkily, “if you will hear me name it.” “Some dungeon,” she suggests. “Your bedchamber,” he responds. Welcome to a King’s College production of William Shakespeare’s “Richard III,” where newcomers to the historic tragedy may well be shocked by just how darkly villainous, conniving, murderous — and, occasionally, silver-tongued — the title character can be. “As Shakespeare wrote it, he’s detestable,” said actor Sean McKeown, whose preparation for the starring role includes twisting his body into an awkward position to

‘Jurassic Park’ still packs a digital

orget blowing the images up to IMAX size and converting the lunging velociraptors and T. Rexes into 3-D. The best reason to revive “Jurassic Park” for its 20th anniversary is Jeff Goldblum. Yes, children, there was a time when Goldblum was sci-ﬁ’s “ultimate explainer,” as producer Dean Devlin labeled him in “Independence Day.” Goldblum’s bug-eyes said “scientist-smart,” and his mannered, considered and hesitating line-readings reinforce that. His very presence in movies from “The Fly” onward screamed “complicated science, made understandable and plausible.” As “chaos theory” expert Dr. Ian Malcolm, Goldblum is the “Jurassic Park” skeptic in a cluster of greedy entrepreneurs and spellbound paleontologists (played by Laura Dern and Sam Neill). Goldblum, as Malcolm, has all the

“What if things go wrong?” questions. And when they do, he utters this line, in that distinct, silky Goldblum purr: “Boy, do I hate being right all the time!” “Jurassic Park,” adapted from Michael Crichton’s conceptually brilliant novel, is a horror movie wrapped in the trappings of early ’90s speculative science. Back then, children were dino mad, the magical letters “DNA” were on every research grant, and the wonders of genetic code were just beginning to unravel. What a great time for a scary movie about a tycoon (Richard Attenborough) whose efforts have led to the break-

throughs that enable him and his backers to open an island theme park where dinosaurs have been back-engineered back to life. Not that they should have been. Things, as Dr. Malcolm predicts, will go wrong. Storms happen, cages fail, “sterile” dinosaurs turn out not to be. And people, who never walked the Earth at the same time as these beasties, are now the main item on the menu. Chaos theory incarnate. The dinosaurs, impressive in their animated actions and leathery digital texture in ‘93, haven’t lost much of their moist, tactile menace over the decades. When they start messing with the theme park’s SUVs, we still shudder in the knowledge that those on screen “are going to need a bigger truck.” The frights still work, super sized and turned into 3-D for your viewing and recoiling-from-the-screen pleasure. It’s not nearly as scary on TV as it is in theaters.

swing a dead cat in the basement because it’s full of dead cats and blood stains. We’ve seen the prologue. We know what’s coming. That gives bookish Eric a chance to find the skin-covered book of witch curses and spells and to stir up The Other Side. As Mia is menaced by the forest, as the rains wash out the road and as others are injured, brutalized and tested by their first encounter with the supernatural, Eric is the one who doesn’t think everything will work out in the end. The makeup effects, with piercings, scalding, dismemberments and the like, are spectacular. You will believe that’s a human face, peeled off with a sharp object. Characters are chased, by the camera, through the woods and through this oddly roomy tiny cabin. And occasionally you feel something for the dead and the doomed. “Evil Dead” is a bit more than a cutrate romp through horror conventions, rising to a by-the-book bloodbath, chilling at times, but not the sort of film that invites a cult following the way Raimi and Campbell did back in 1981.

Fresh from his turn as Marlon Brando’s understudy in “Streetcar Named Desire,” Lattimer Mines’ native Jack Palance made his film debut in the noir classic “Panic In The Streets” (1950, Fox, unrated, $25). New to Blu-ray, the film reunited Palance with helmer Elia Kazan, who directed “Streetcar” and personally enlisted the actor for the role of the villain. The actor was still billed by his full name, Walter Jack Palance, for his turn as a tough guy who unknowingly becomes a carrier of pneumonic plague after chasing down and shooting a man infected with the disease. As a manhunt ensues, Palance figures the cops are after him for murder, not realizing that government health officials like Clint Reed (Richard Widmark) want to stop him before he contaminates the entire city of New Orleans. Sure, there are a few slow spots, but Kazan makes wonderful use of the Big Easy and its inhabitants and unleashes a final showdown between Palance and Widmark that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Recalling the scene years later, Widmark said, “We rehearsed with a rubber gun, but unbeknownst to me, for the take, (Palance) switched to a real gun and bonged me on the head. I was out for about 20 minutes. I was mad as hell when I came to, but I wasn’t about to attack him. He’s the tough guy, strong as a gorilla.” About four decades later, at 73, Palance would prove he was still “strong as a gorilla” by doing one-armed push-ups at the Oscars before collecting his Best Supporting Actor statue for “City Slickers.” They don’t make ‘em like Palance any more.

New on DVD

“DIRK GENTLY,” GRADE B: This quirky detective series from the BBC falls somewhere between the weirdness of “Psych” and the sleuthing of “Elementary,” with a dash of insanity only Douglas Adams (“The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”) can bring. “HEMINGWAY & GELLHORN” GRADE C-PLUS: An over-the-top cable production that looks at the relationship between Ernest Hemingway (Clive Owen) and Martha Gellhorn (Nicole Kidman) played out against the backdrop of war. Kidman seems a little bored, despite playing one of the most signiﬁcant war correspondents of the 20th century and the third wife of Hemingway, from 1940 to 1945. ALSO NEW ON DVD APRIL 2: “HELLO, DOLLY!”: Gene Kelly directed this movie musical starring Barbra Streisand and Walter Matthau. “KNUCKLEBALL”: Documentary that delves into the subculture of the knuckleball and the brotherhood of men who throw baseball’s most mysterious pitch. “FIREMAN SAM: MIGHTY MOUNTAIN HEROES”: Fireman Sam stars in six actionpacked rescue adventures. “JACKIE ROBINSON: MY STORY”: Firstperson docudrama that blends historic footage with a dramatic portrayal of Robinson by actor Stephen Hill. - MCT Wire Services

Relentless, pitiless, bloody and intense — that’s the remake of Sam Raimi’s “The Evil Dead.” But is this “Evil Dead” (they dropped the “The” in the title) any good? Yes and no. It has several genuinely hair-raising moments and presents, for your ediﬁcation and enjoyment, some of the most graphic horror violence ever seen on screen. But Fede Alvarez’s homage to the original “Cabin in the Woods” tale lacks the offhanded gooﬁness, the brittle jokes of young people, in that wooded cabin, facing death at the hands of something supernatural. Sure, they’re scared, and some of the cast of this new “Dead” — Jessica Lucas and Elizabeth Blackmore, in particular — get across what utter terror feels like. But the sardonic wit is lost in a sea of blood and guts. Above all else, this “Dead” misses Bruce Campbell, who graduated from “The Evil Dead” and its sequels to become a B-movie icon. The set-up is similar. Friends and family of Mia (Jane Levy) have

CELEBRITY Q&A BY R.D. HELDENFELS

JUMBLE

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

BY MICHAEL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

Netflix’s ‘House of Cards’ set to return Q. Is there a second season of “House of Cards?” Can the show be seen anywhere besides Netflix? It is a very interesting story. A. Yes, there will be a second season of the drama starring Kevin Spacey as a ruthless politician, based on a British TV series. Since the idea behind the show was to draw viewers to Netflix, I have not yet seen any news about it airing on broadcast or cable; Amazon.com does offer the first 13 episodes as streaming video — and is taking orders for a DVD and Blu-ray, although without a specific release date. If you are longing for something comparable, the British “House of Cards Trilogy” is on DVD.

PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION

Q. I really enjoy the program “Death in Paradise.” I was wondering where it is filmed. I never seem to catch that in the credits.

CRYPTOQUOTE

A. The BBC mystery series uses reallife Guadeloupe for its fictional island of Saint-Marie. In a look at the show’s location, RadioTimes.com said, “Guadeloupe is shockingly vivid. Everywhere you look there are bright primary colours — deep blues, greens, yellows, reds — all year round.” And Ben Miller, the star of the show, said you could not match that kind of look in an English TV studio.

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your urge to

improve upon what is already working just fine is commendable, but it’s a waste of energy today because there are more pressing concerns to address. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You really understand what matters, and that makes it a happy day. Aspiring to a small victory, like mastering a soup recipe, is a noble pursuit. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Domestic pursuits might concern you, but don’t stress too much over them. The best thing

ON THE WEB For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com about your place is that you’re in it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You sim-

ply can’t relate to lazy people. If you stop doing things for them, they might become less lazy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your weapons of reason arm you against false hope, stupid ideas and other wastes of time and energy. Take care that they do not also arm you against creativity. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Being too careful makes your muscles tight and rigid. That’s a fine way to stumble. Better to be loose, ready and willing to take a few knocks. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have it pretty good right now, but you won’t be able to shake the nagging truth: There is

something inside you that is superior to your circumstances. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Is it true that you love in others what you lack in yourself? Or is it truer that you love in others what you know is in yourself? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Fame ensures attention. Obscurity allows you to go under the radar and do what you want. Which do you think is better? Your actions today will answer the question. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Physicist Stephen Hawking thinks computer viruses should count as life. You have your own ideas now about what to anthropomorphize, and a fan finds it adorable. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Many people simply don’t know you well enough

to predict what you’ll do next. That’s how you like it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ve been lucky before, but turning in stellar results time and time again, as you’ve been doing lately, is not a matter of luck. You work hard, and you care. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 5). For all the dirt, sweat and falls, you would rather be in the arena of life striving valiantly than be a critic up in the stands. You’ll connect or reconnect with your tribe this month. May brings fast changes, while June is leisurely, peaceful and full of laughter. Professional advancement influences your domestic rhythm in August. Leo and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 3, 22, 39 and 15.

Man battling alcohol addiction feels he’s drowning in clutter Dear Abby: I met the woman of my dreams about a year ago. Her husband had died about two months before our paths crossed. She has two teenage daughters I’m very fond of. I have a history of alcoholism and she’s a hoarder. A week ago, I had an “epiphany”: I am desperately trying to quit drinking for my own sake.

ADVICE home from work and get depressed and stressed from looking at all the clutter. It is driving me insane. I feel like it is triggering me to stay drunk. I don’t want to lose this woman and her family, but I can’t co-exist in this house. I have left several times, only to miss her and go back. I’m trying to kick the booze, but I know I won’t be able to achieve

Dear Truly Torn: If you quit drinking only a week ago, it is important that you find an AA group to help you hang on to your sobriety. That’s step one. Next, realize that you and the lady you’re living with may share a similar problem. You say you are a “clean freak.” This can be a symptom of an obsessive-compulsive disorder. Hoarding can be a symptom of

the same disorder. The International OCD Foundation is a reliable resource that may be able to help you both. It has many local chapters. You can locate it online at www.ocfoundation.org or reach it by calling 617-973-5801. Dear Abby: My roommate insists that undershirts should be washed right-side-out. I say as long as you’re using detergent and bleach, it doesn’t matter. Who is right? — Mr. Clean in Oceanside, Calif.

THE GUIDE

Dear Mr. Clean: I don’t claim to be a domestic goddess, but I don’t think there is a right or wrong way to wash undershirts. I have heard, however, that washing garments inside out will prevent lint buildup on the outside, and in the case of denim, less fading.

plays Continued from Page 9

Perhaps the real-life Richard wasn’t responsible for so many deaths, including two young relatives who were only 9 and 12 years old. Perhaps he didn’t have a habit of killing men and then seeking to marry a surviving daughter, sister or widow for political gain. “He’s just such a sweet-talker,” Betty Montgomery, who plays Lady Anne, said during a recent rehearsal break. “My character will physically go home with him.” First Lady Anne spits at Richard and slaps him. But by the time he is kneeling in front of her, imploring her to stab him if she will not accept him as a suitor, you can see she’s starting to melt. Members of the audience almost

might think he’s sincere — until they hear him gloating. “My woman’s heart grossly grew captive to his honey words,” Lady Anne will later lament. Despite the seduction of Lady Anne, it is the women of the play rather than the men who more readily see through Richard’s deceit, Jennifer McClinton-Temple pointed out. McClinton-Temple is an English professor who, along with Pavlac from the history department and Sheileen Corbett from the theater department, have joined the students in the cast. Guest performers include McIntyre and Jameson Godwin, grandsons of the late J. Gerald Godwin, former chair of King’s theatre department, who will play the young princes. The performance is free, director Dave Reynolds said, but people should call for reservations.

Frank’s Pizzeria & Ristorante is a little piece of Sicily on South Main Street in Wilkes-Barre.

Italian specialties dazzle downtown What: Frank’s Pizzeria & Italian Ristorante Where: 198 South Main St., Wilkes-Barre Call: 570-822-2168 Credit cards? Yes Why we went: It’s been in its new location downtown for quite a while now (yet we hadn’t made an ofﬁcial visit), and the place looked quite hopping as Lent wound to a close. The ambience: For a smallish downtown spot, the detail work here is beautiful. Two separate dining rooms are clean and well-maintained, with everything brand-new, from trim to furniture, and one (with a lovely ceiling and large windows) can be rented out as a private room. If the fresh appearance doesn’t grab you, just try to avoid the intoxicating scents. The fabulous food: Pizza — traditional, white, Sicilian, California style, stuffed double-crusted, etc. — is the bread and butter here, of course, but lots of other menu items are can’t-misses, such as pasta platters. Spaghetti, ziti, ravioli, linguini and more come every which way, topped with shrimp, meat, broccoli, dressed in creamy, red or vodka sauces and offering sidecars of good old boys such as bacon or sausage. Soup (or salad) is gratis, and so is bread, and all are fresh and tasty, making for a satisfying meal for, generally, under $10. Jamaican Beef Patties are another standout. Frank’s touts itself as the only purveyor in the area, and we have no cause to doubt that. Hesitant? Picture something that looks like a pastie, only more

golden-yellow in color with a flakier, more pliant crust. The meat inside also will be wetter, rather like a paste, and you won’t find potatoes. But you can add cheese, and that kicks in some nice, chewy substance. Similar good stuff stuffed can be found in several varieties of bready rolls out of the calzone family. Broccoli rolls, pastry pockets absolutely bursting with big, bright broccoli, garlic and mozzarella, are true winners. For $4.25, the two huge halves of this Italian house specialty will do nothing but wow you — even as they may leave you in a state of cheese-induced shame. Other menu items: Appetizers are almost too numerous to count, and our two selections — jalapeno poppers and mozzarella sticks — were better than the average bears, the poppers in particular. Breading was not particularly heavy, but the jalapeno skins themselves were large and appropriately snappy, with cheese melting right out of them. Sandwiches and hoagies are fairly huge and equally tasty. A sausage-and-peppers hoagie was filled to the brim with sausage coins, red peppers and an outpouring of sweet sauce. Overall: Every downtown, we believe, needs a signature Italian-and-pizza purveyor, and this is one of Wilkes-Barre’s best. It’s nice to see a wellmaintained business such as this willing to stay open late: 10 a.m.-11 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.midnight Friday and Saturday and noon-10 p.m. Sunday.
