FOSTER TWP. —It’s the first half of the 1940s, and there is a war on. Soldiers are on the other side of the world. The enemy is committing widespread atrocities. Meanwhile, Americans at home support the war effort. But it’s also the Big Band era, and the music helps define the 1940s. All of that will come to life this weekend during Eckley Miners Village Museum’s “1940s Weekend” on Saturday and Sunday.
Visitors will see a depiction of life on both the home front and in Allied and Axis military encampments, with military equipment and skirmishes, as well as hear the real-life story of a Holocaust survivor. They can stroll through Eckley, as it was around 1944, and see what daily life and chores were like in the mining patch town. This is the first year the museum is creating a 1940s depiction, though the village has hosted armed-forces weekends in the previous two years and World War II events in the past that focused on Allied troops, said Kristen Bogash, pro-

gram coordinator. “This is the first time we will focus on both Allied and Axis forces,” Bogash said. “This event this year is supposed to encapsulate and look at all the aspects of the 1940s, what the home front was like in a 1940s home, life in the camps and different aspects, such as the Holocaust … and 1940s music,” she added. Severin Fayerman of Reading, a survivor of five different concentration camps and author of “A Survivor’s Story,” will talk both days about his experiences of surviving the Nazi camps then coming to America and becoming a successful hardware business owner.

On Sunday, Eckley volunteer Regina Drasher will portray Alleta Sullivan, mother of the famous five Sullivan brothers from Waterloo, Iowa, who were all killed when the Japanese sunk their Navy ship in World War II. Also on Saturday, from 6 to 10 p.m., a 1940s swing dance is scheduled for Freeland Public Park Pavilion on Front Street in Freeland. Admission to the dance in $10 regular admission and $8 for those in 1940s-era attire or uniform. “It’ll be live music by the Hazleton Philharmonic (and their) Big Band sound and the Vinatieri Sisters,” Bogash said. He said a special ceremony at the swing dance will include a tribute to veterans past and present.

to Hillside, N.J., then to Reading, where he built Baldwin Hardware into a bigger success. Fayerman finds it remarkable that not only did he survive the camps, but that his parents, Henry and Felicia, and his uncle Simon Fayerman also did. Now, even at the age of 91, Fayerman is still enjoying good health and life, with his wife, Toni, an American whom he married after he came to this country post-war. He thinks the U.S. government should be more vocal about atrocities and human-rights violations in other countries. “This is the best country in the world,” he said. “I’m extremely patriotic, but we should be more verbal, say … ‘We abhor what you are doing.’ … It’s incredible in the 21st century we are witnessing these horrible things.” He tries to forget about what he went through, but occasional nightmares still haunt him. “I don’t go to the Holocaust Museum and try not to watch movies about this because it opens wounds.”

Severin Fayerman retired as a successful Reading businessman three years ago after a 65-year career. But life, much less success, was not always a certainty. The 91-year-old spent two years in concentration camps, with his parents and uncle, after the Nazis captured them in their native Poland during World War II. Tomorrow and Sunday, Fayerman, author of “A Survivor’s Story,” will recount his experiences during the 1940s Weekend at Eckley Miners Village Fayerman Museum. He will talk about his life in Poland, his time in five different concentration camps, including
Auschwitz and Buchenwald, and how he became a success in the United States. His presentation will run from 2:45 to 3:45 p.m. Saturday and 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Sunday in the Visitors Center auditorium. Fayerman was luckier than many other prisoners. “First of all, when I got into camp, I was about 20 years of age,” he said. Youth and his will to survive kept him going. That he was skilled as a tool maker and spoke five languages — Polish, German, French, English and Spanish — also helped. “I was used as an interpreter and a tool maker, and eventually I was employed in a factory, not in the camps doing hard, difficult and dangerous work,” he recalled. “The greatest part of it was my skills. They could use me and protected me.” The work improved his skills, which he put to good use after he came to the United States and bought a hardware business in Newark, N.J. He later expanded it and moved it

Vintage rides due at airport
CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@timesleader.com
FORTY FORT — Members of the British Car Club of Northeastern PA are hitting the road. Work at South Abington Park will prevent its car show from returning to its regular venue for its 11th annual event. But Club President Ed Ostrowsky, of Wyoming, has turned the inconvenience into an opportunity. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday the car show will include vintage aircraft for the first time as classic European automobiles roll into the Wyoming Valley Airport at 2001 Wyoming Ave. in Forty Fort. “The facility staff here has just been phenomenal. Joyce and Jim Scrobola have just been unbelievable. Anything we needed, they were there,” Ostrowsky said. The British Car Club has about 160 members, and Ostrowsky is infusing new energy into the organiza-
tion that has helped bring in at least 12 new members, many from Luzerne County. Sponsors for the 11th annual show include Bennett Automotive Group of Allentown. The dealership will bring in the Jaguar XF, XJ and new F-Type Roadster for display this Sunday. “The thing is just scarybeautiful,” Ostrowsky said of the F-Type. Club members share a passion for British-made automobiles, but the show is open to all European models. They hope to attract Porsches, Fiats, Alfas, Minis, motorbikes and more to Sunday’s event. “Once you get addicted to a British car — and you know you can pretty much say that with any class — once you get addicted to a British car, it’s a disease. We all share that disease,” he said. Ostrowsky fondly remembers when he caught the bug. “I bought my first British car when I was parking cars in the student lot for a work-study for football

up the hill. People were going absolutely crazy.” Ostrowski said members already come from many counties in Northeastern Pennsylvania, but it’s his goal as the new president to find members in every county in the region. Sunday’s show will include a small tribute to the Giants Despair and food prepared by Boy Scout Troop 281 from Dallas. Profits from all food sales will directly benefit the troop. Bringing the car show to the airport presents a special opportunity for carlovers. With fees starting at $20, they can take a trip in an airplane. Those with a little extra to spend looking for a more rare experi-

Participants’ cars will be judged in 25 different categories based on marque and model with first-, second-, and third-place trophies awarded. Trophies also will be awarded for Best of Show and Diamond in the Rough, a car that might be undergoing repairs but shows great potential. About 70 cars had preregistered by Monday, and Ostrowski was expecting
many to arrive the day of the show. “I don’t think the valley’s ever seen this kind of car collection at one time,” Ostrowsky said. “I think when you combine the airport and the cars, it’s just going to be staggering.” Home Made

The car, which had cloth wiring, often would ground out in the rain, and Ostrowsky recalls ribbing the owner about getting rid of her “terrible” ride. “I used to say to her, ‘You ought to sell that son of a bitch,’ ” he said. “I literally ended up buying that car for $350 from that lady. I still have that car. I’ve had it since 1976.” Ostrowsky’s 1962 Triumph is staying home this weekend, but his Triumph TR6 and an MGC will be at the show. The MGC, he said, is “a rather rare bird,” and he believes fewer than 900 of them exist in the United States. Aside from their annual show, club members have participated in notable events including a special run on the second day of the recent Giants Despair Hill Climb in Laurel Run. “When they broke for lunch, we took the 12 cars

Life,music through a spiritual lens Musician Michael Ray performs at Christian Coffee House tonight
CHrIsToPHEr J. HUGHEs chughes@timesleader.com
NANTICOKE — For musician Michael Ray, the chance to continue to perform as a solo artist has opened up the opportunity to share his point of view with more mature ears. “I heard somebody say once that songwriters are the astronauts of the emotions. They go out there and explore what’s going on internally and then express it through music,” Ray, 34, of Dunmore said. “I’ve always seen myself writing music from my personal perspective, from what’s going on inside of me and around me and how I’m interpreting it. All of my life experience gets filtered through a lens, and that happens to be a spiritual lens. That’s where my music comes from.” That music is not the pop-infused beats of Katy Perry’s “Firework,” but it’s not — as Ray recalls U2 front man Bono once calling it — “happy, clappy worship music” either. By the end of one of Ray’s songs, you might find yourself reflecting on your own trials and tribulations and how faith has helped you through it. “I try to write music that offers a little of that earthiness, a little bit of reality,” Ray said. Music fans might remember Ray from his previous outfit, Velveteen. Band members’ life changes have put things on an indefinite hold for the group, but they have not stopped Ray from creating and performing music. In addition to his day job, he’s also a co-founding pastor

and musical worship leader at The Grove Church, a relatively new community church that has worship services at 1735 N. Main St. in Scranton. “I feel kind of called to that venue right now,” Ray said. Performing by himself is a nice return to his roots, he added. “The last few concerts I’ve done have been solo shows, and that’s been great. That’s how I started out,” Ray said. Solo acts allow him to let loose and play to the spirit of the crowd, performing anything from an original song with powerful vocals to a finger-style guitar-picking tune to slow things down. “It’s very free,” he said. He’ll get a taste of that freedom tonight when he performs at the Voice of Hope Christian Coffee House at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 231 State St., Nanticoke.

‘Fruitvale Station’a timely,riveting race tale CARY DARLING
Fort Worth Star-Telegram
At its most basic, “Fruitvale Station” is about a man being shot to death. But it isn’t a whodunit. Based on tragic real-life events in 2009 when unarmed 22-year-old Oscar Grant was fatally shot by a cop at Oakland, Calif.’s Fruitvale train station, it begins with grainy cell-phone footage of the actual killing. It then tracks back in time to what led up to that horrible encounter and, even though we know where this dark road travels, the remarkable “Fruitvale Station” still manages to be both sorrowful and suspenseful while also celebrating a life only half-lived. What’s even more amazing is that this film — the Grand Jury Prize winner at Sundance and one of the winners in the Un Certain Regard competition at Cannes —

But as events move relentlessly toward the foregone conclusion, Oscar finds himself in a situation spiraling hopelessly out of his control.

Still, especially in the wake of the Trayvon Martin case and controversy, “Fruitvale Station” is a compelling portrait of a life ended too soon.
‘The To Do List’ is an evocative teen romp JUSTIN LOWE
The Hollywood Reporter
LOS ANGELES — Coming-of-age comedies are fraught with seemingly limitless pitfalls, necessitating well-honed screenplay and persuasive performances to assure audience allegiance. So with consistently entertaining characters and infectious humor, writer-director Maggie Carey’s “The To Do List” delivers well above expectations Even as 1993 valedictorian of her Boise high school class, mathlete Brandy Klark (Aubrey Plaza) can’t escape the ridicule of many classmates for her goody-good image and lack of worldliness. Facing her first year in university as a virginal freshman, Brandy decides to reevaluate her priorities, especially after a drunken mix-up at her very first kegger results in a mistaken make-out session with too-hot Rusty Waters (Scott Porter), the No. 1 object of lust among all her classmates. Brandy quickly tosses her college planning when she discovers her latent libido in favor of a to-do list of sexual experiences she hopes will quickly get her up to speed before the fall semester starts. Her more experienced BFFs Wendy (Sarah Steele) and Fiona (Alia Shawkat) are dubious that Brandy can go from bench-warmer status to home
base in one short summer, but with the experienced guidance of her semi-skanky sister Amber (Rachel Bilson), who lost her virginity at 14, Brandy sorts out her priorities and identifies a short list of candidates to help her get into the game. She quickly checks off her first few goals with her crushed-out chemistry lab partner Cameron (Johnny Simmons), but finding out that Rusty is also working at the same public pool where she’s lifeguarding for the first time over the summer throws Brandy off her stride. Her nonchalant response to the constant hazing from her coworkers and slacker boss Willy (Bill Hader) earns her some respect, however, particularly when she elicits the well-kept secret that could get Willy fired. With Rusty so tantalizingly nearby almost every day and showing growing interest as Brandy sheds her uptight image as well as her one-piece swimsuit in favor of a bikini, she senses her ultimate goal may not be far off, especially with the rumor spreading that she’s writing some sort of teen sex manual. Then Cameron totally bums her out with a squirmingly awkward revelation, forcing Brandy to consider whether there may be some collateral emotional damage associated with her sexual conquests that
could derail her grand scheme. Making a convincingly assured feature debut, TV and Web series writer-director Carey’s script nails the raunchy-sweet tone required to bring off this R-rated teen-centered comedy with remarkable charm and relatability, mining a rich vein of girl-centered sexual curiosity and experimentation “loosely inspired” by personal experience.

Good guy with a bad attitude is the mutant ‘Wolverine’ IF YOU GO
Los Angeles Times
With films such as “Cop Land,” “3:10 to Yuma” and “Walk the Line,” director James Mangold has delivered gritty portraits of flawed heroes struggling to overcome their baser natures. He’s at it again with his next film, only this time the good guy isn’t a police officer, an old West lawman or Johnny Cash — he’s an immortal mutant with adamantium claws and a bad attitude. “The Wolverine” stars Hugh Jackman returning to his famed “X-Men” role in a more contemplative fashion. In it, Logan travels to Japan to bid farewell to a dying acquaintance only to find himself protecting the life of an heiress, even as he struggles to come to terms with the tragic events of his past.
STILL SHOWING
“What’s very much at play is this sense of a guy who’s figuring himself out and who’s wrestling with his own sense of violence and his own anger and his own loss and at the same time thrown into the kaleidoscopic world of Japanese culture,” Mangold said. Mangold joined the project after the 2011 departure of the film’s original director, Darren Aronofsky. He said he was intrigued by the license afforded
summers ago, Lenny (Adam Sandler), decides he wants to move his family back to his hometown and have them grow up with his gang of childhood friends and their children. But he soon finds out that sometimes crazy follows you. PG-13 for crude and suggestive content, language and male rear nudity. 102 mins. Two stars THE HEAT — Give it up for Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. You’ll never see them work harder at comedy than in this stumbling, aggressively loud and profane buddy-cop picture where they struggle to wring “funny” out of a script that isn’t. R for pervasive language, strong crude content and some violence. 117 mins. Star and a half LONE RANGER — Native American warrior Tonto recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid, a man of the law, into a legend of justice. PG-13 for intense action and violence and some suggestive material. 149 mins. Two stars PACIFIC RIM — Enormous alien beasts were sneaking into the ocean through a crack in the ocean floor along the Pacific’s “Ring of Fire.” After realizing battling these monsters was a toxic disaster, the world’s
governments teamed up to build gigantic, human-controlled robots called jaegers. Years later, the jaeger program is winding down, but the monsters keep coming. PG-13 for intense sci-fi action and violence and brief language. 130 mins. Two and a half stars RED 2 — They bicker, emotionally blackmail each other, kiss and make up. Because they have history. But Bruce Willis and John Malkovich aren’t the “real” couple at the heart of this action comedy sequel about retired government assassins. They’re just part of a love triangle, one that Mary Louise Parker completes. PG-13 for pervasive action and violence, including frenetic gunplay, and for some language and drug material. 108 mins. Two and a half stars R.I.P.D. — A recently slain cop joins a team of undead police officers working for the Rest in Peace Department and tries to find the man who murdered him.

The rat who becomes a chef, the supervillain who turns good, the zoo animals stuck in the wild — they’ve been done. How about a snail who enters the Indianapolis 500? Because snails are slow and race cars are fast, get it? All right, so you’re not bowled over. Nevertheless, “Turbo” has just enough heart to make it to the winner’s circle. 96 mins. PG for action.

The rest of it serves up novel and often entertaining solutions to the various “zombie problems” this overexposed genre presents. PG-13 for intense frightening zombie sequences, violence and disturbing images. 116 mins. Three stars

THE CONJURING — Sadie knows. The dog always knows not to go into the haunted house. But since this was 1971, and the world, much less Rhode Island’s Perron family, had not seen “The Exorcist” and the generations of ultra-realistic horror movies and “Ghost Hunters” TV shows that followed, they didn’t heed the dog’s warnings. This is like a prequel to 40 years of demonic-possession thrillers. R for disturbing violence and terror. 112 mins.

by the story line, adapted from the famed early ’80s “X-Men” graphic novel miniseries by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller. With “The Wolverine” functioning neither as an origin story nor a tale of a hero defeating a super-villain out to destroy the world, the director could break away from the creatively limiting dictates of standard comic-book movie convention. Of course, it’s still Logan at the center of the story, with an impossibly brawny (and often shirtless) Jackman called upon to channel his inner mutant tough guy for the sixth time — if you count all of his appearances in every “X-Men” film and his starring turn in 2009’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” Movie fans will still find something new and different this time around. “This is more about the fate of Logan hanging in the balance,” Mangold said.

Rough waters in emotionally moving‘Way,Way Back’ BETSY SHARKEY
Los Angeles Times
To begin talking about the new indie film “The Way, Way Back,” I want to go way, way back. Praise for the movie’s excellent cast, anchored by Sam Rockwell, Toni Collette, Steve Carell, Allison Janney and teenage rock Liam James, will come later. As good as the actors are, we must begin with the originality of the screenplay by Nat Faxon and Jim Rash. The writers, who also co-direct and have small roles in the film, take a fairly straightforward story of coming of age in a time of divorce, with all the frictions
Liam James, from left, Sam Rockwell and Jim Rash are among the stellar cast of ‘The Way Way Back.’
NEW ON DVD
that arise as kids find themselves dealing with Mom and Dad’s new loves, but they make it feel fresh. And real. Authenticity gives the movie its witty, heartwarming, hopeful, sentimental, searing and relatable edge. It is merciless in probing the tender spots of times like these, and tough-guy sweet in patching up the wounds. A nifty balancing act by the first-time directors, who almost didn’t get to make their film. Way back in 2007, “The Way, Way Back” was on that year’s Black List of best, unproduced scripts. The characteristics that put it there haven’t been lost either. The dialogue remains too pure, too quirky, too conversational to have been tampered with by studio execs or nervous backers — so a shout-out to all the folks who kept their notes to themselves. The sting is there from the film’s opening moments — one of those summer red-eye car rides to the beach. The only ones awake are Duncan (James) and Trent (Carell), the car salesman who hopes to marry Duncan’s mom, Pam (Collette). Trent’s frustrated eyes in the rearview mirror are all we see as he digs into the kid. “Hey, buddy,” he taunts, “on a sliding scale of 1 to 10, where would you put yourself?” When the 14-year-old finally ventures a “6,” Trent’s reaction reveals exactly what Duncan is up against. The crushed curl of Duncan’s shoulders, the headphones that can’t block out that voice, the hurt

IF YOU GO
What: “The Way, Way Back” ◆◆◆1/2 Starring: Sam Rockwell, Toni Collette, Steve Carell, Allison Janney and Liam James Directed by: Nat Faxon and Jim Rash Running time: 103 minutes Rated: PG-13 for thematic elements, language, some sexual content and brief drug material in his eyes capture how unprepared the boy is for Trent’s treatment. James, whom you may know from the AMC hit drama “The Killing,” is a standout. Carell should play bad guys more often. The movie itself will roll between two worlds. Ground zero for conflict is Trent’s beach house on the Boston shore, where a full assault is under way. Trent’s out to
squash any resistance to his plans to marry Pam. Kid paradise, or something close, is the Water Wizz Water Park, one of those local spots that give small-town life its charm. Owen (Rockwell) runs the place in the way of a cool dude forever giving into his inner Peter Pan. Rockwell, most acclaimed for his nearly silent tour de force a few
years ago in “Moon,” is a comic revelation as the wisecracking good guy who takes Duncan, and other strays, under his wing. In that punch-him-in-the-arm playground style of support, he tries to help the kid find himself and some self-esteem. A flunky job at Water Wizz will work wonders. The core of the film rests in the contrast between Owen and Duncan’s who-you-really-are heart-tohearts and the tension played out on the home front with Trent. A meltdown over Candy Land is classic. The difficult dynamics at Trent’s become apparent as soon as the car parks at the beach house, aptly named Riptide. Pam, barely a year past divorce and desperate to make a new family with Trent work, comes alive as Collette walks that wire. All her insecurity is immediately embraced by Trent’s outrageously naughty narcissist nextdoor neighbor, Betty. Janney is a total gas in the role, playing Betty in tight pants and with nonstop patter that, like shots of tequila, is better in small doses. Betty’s daughter Susanna (AnnaSophia Robb) is one of the cool kids who begins to redefine Duncan’s life. Their awkward attempt at teasing is a lovely first flirt. Trent’s daughter, Steph (Zoe Levin), like most of the girls, is there to be beautiful, sullen and dismissive. Rob Corddry and See WAY | 12

Mona is, essentially, a good kid who finds herself mixed up with some jerks, including a hulking stalker (a pre“Perry Mason” Raymond Burr) and a jealous jailbird boyfriend (Byron Barr a.k.a. Gig Young). “Pitfall” has long been in the public domain so DVD copies have been dicey. But the recent edition by Film Chest makes the film look crisp and clean again. There are a few flaws here and there, but that shouldn’t stop you from checking out a crime thriller that boasts plenty of twists and turns as well as a quiet, haunting grace.

mother’s indecision. What he sees so clearly, and what she refuses to admit, becomes the dividing line that the film keeps working toward. Rob Simonsen’s infectious original score, with Linda Cohen supervising, gives the movie that seductive summeron-the-shore vibe that helps in
riding out the storms. The navigation between the humor and the pain of relationships is deft, with substance slipped in where you least expect it. In other words, don’t be fooled by the sun-drenched beach where “The Way, Way Back” unfolds — not even the angst escapes the burn.
Way From page 10 Amanda Peet play Kip and Joan, Trent’s best friends and complicating factors. Though Trent represents the torturer dealing out daily humiliations and Owen the savior, what really drives Duncan and the movie is his
Ball From page 7 The cast includes Mungojerrie, Rumpleteazer, Macavity, Magical Mr. Mistoffelees, Old Deuteronomy and Gus the theater cat, who sniffs at the way today’s kittens are trained, not as he was “in the days when Victoria reigned.” “It’s all very British,” said Paul Winarski of Nanticoke, who plays the aging Gus. The original poems were so British, Sean Bromiley of Wilkes-Barre said, he has read that Eliot used them to symbol-
ize England’s wartime suffering. The downtrodden, onceglamorous character Grizabella, the one who sings “Memory” and eventually is chosen to ascend to a kind of cat heaven, represents the country of England itself, Bromiley said. For much of the show, Grizabella is an outcast. By the end, the character is “very humble” and, at long last, accepted by the others, said Angel Berlane-Mulcahy of Wilkes-Barre, who has that role.

CELEBRITY Q&A BY R.D. HELDENFELS
JUMBLE
UNIVERSAL SUDOKU
BY MICHAEL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK
‘The Chris Matthews Show’ ends in July Q. Why is Chris Matthews’ show ending? A. Let’s start by clarifying. “Hardball,” the long-running series Matthews has hosted for MSNBC, is not going anywhere. But “The Chris Matthews Show,” the syndicated, weekend talkfest he has hosted, will end July 21. Matthews announced the decision in April after signing a new contract with MSNBC. “There are limits to what I can do in a week,” he said in a news release. “Henceforth, I intend to concentrate any time left over from ‘Hardball’ on writing books like the one I’m committed to now on the relationship between Tip O’Neill and Ronald Reagan, that and producing documentaries on history and politics.” Matthews said he made a similar decision in 2002; when he began the syndicated show, he quit writing a syndicated column. “I will miss having the weekend show just as I missed having the column,” he said. “But I can’t do everything and still do what I have to do well.”
PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION
CRYPTOQUOTE
Q. My husband and I are loyal fans of the ION show “Flashpoint.” The last show of the season wrapped up all the characters’ lives. Will the show return for another season? Or has it been canceled? Hopefully, it will return. A. It will not, except in reruns. The Canadian-made police drama’s two-part episode “Keep the Peace” wrapped up the series after five seasons.

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be more
effective if you do not care about winning the approval of the group you are trying to break into. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). No one is polite all of the time, especially with your nearest and dearest. You may have to show your disapproving look as a way of standing up for yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Is anyone really different and therefore above the rules? Yes, of course. Who? The ones who decide, “I am different and above the
ON THE WEB For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com rules.” A moral dilemma will have you toying with this idea today. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s important to prepare for the opposition, because when dealing with a group, you’ll only be as right as you can convince people you are. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Tension on the strings of a guitar makes majestic music. There is undeniable tension in one of your relationships, too, but don’t rush to relieve it, or it will be like playing a flat, flappy string. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). As much as you enjoy striving for an ideal and doing your best, perfection is not your friend. Let go of this futile notion called “perfect.” LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When multiple
paths converge, they form a blockage. No one path is any more correct than another, but something must be worked out, or nobody will move forward. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When you do your thing, you’re powerful. It’s an honest power, and that’s what makes it so startling to some people. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re not the same person you were when you joined the group. It’s easier to establish yourself in a new circle than to change a group’s perception of you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your cosmic success tools are tone of voice, intention and confidence. You could deliver the most important words ever uttered in the history of speaking, and it
wouldn’t matter if you said them weakly.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Social pos-
turing is not like the SATs. If you ace one test, you still face a never-ending supply of new tests. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Though it’s impressive that you can dedicate so much of your energy to a single pursuit, if you can find something to offset the intensity of this work, you’ll be better off. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 26). Your cosmic birthday gift is a dilemma that makes you smile. This high-quality problem shows just how far you’ve come. You’re a desirable candidate for more than one position in August, and it will feel good to be so in demand. Your lucky numbers are: 39, 1, 20, 40 and 13.
THE GUIDE
Dear Abby: I’m pregnant with my first child and live 800 miles from my parents, who are retired. We have a good relationship now, but growing up I had major emotional issues my parents didn’t handle well. Years of therapy in my early adulthood helped to fix them. My parents have just told me they have been approved to be foster parents and will be caring for an emotionally
DEAR ABBY ADVICE disturbed teenager soon. While I know I should be happy for them, I’m extremely upset. I feel they were ill-equipped to handle my emotional issues growing up, and they should be more concerned with their grandchildren in retirement than taking in strangers. When I heard the news, I tried my best to sound supportive, but they could tell I was
upset. How can I handle these feelings? — Mommy-To-Be in North Carolina Dear Mommy-To-Be: A way to handle your feelings would be to view the situation from the perspective of an adult, not a jealous child. On some level they may be trying to make up for the mistakes they made in your upbringing. Because they were ill-equipped to recognize your emotional problems does not

mean they won’t be wiser now. I suggest you wait to discuss this with them until you’re feeling less resentful. Dear Abby: I’m a 12-year-old girl. I have one question. I really wanna know why girls at my school are really mean. I wish I knew the answer to why girls are like that. Do you know? — Confused Dear Confused: Some of them may be acting out because they are having problems at home.
THE GUIDE
Soon-to-be-mom resents her parents for fostering a teen
They may do it because they are jealous or to make themselves feel more important. Girls like this have never been taught to respect the feelings of others. They haven’t matured enough to have developed empathy, an ability to be sensitive to the feelings of those they are hurting.

Back Mountain Dental welcomes Meghan Tsakalos DDS It is with great pleasure to introduce Meghan Tsakalos as our new associate at Back Mountain Dental. Dr. Tsakalos grew up in southern California and attended UC San Diego. She is a graduate of University of Maryland Baltimore School of Dentistry. She completed a general practice residency at the Wilkes-Barre VA Hospital in 2012. She moved to the Seattle area for a brief time and worked in a private practice. Dr. Tsakalos moved back to the Wyoming Valley area in February 2013 and is excited to treat patients at Back Mountain Dental. We are a progressive general dental office and provide the highest level of care and attention to the treatment desires of each patient at our practice and look forward to Dr. Tsakalos providing that same care to our patients. In addition to the insurances accepted currently (United Concordia, Delta Dental, Guardian, Metropolitan Life), Dr. Tsakalos will be a participating provider with Aetna & Cigna as well as providing office hours on Friday and Wednesday evenings to accommodate the growing needs of our practice.
