Mother Nature rains on at least one pink-themed parade By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com
Dancers and musicians had been looking forward to Wilkes-Barre’s annual Cherry Blossom Festival and the chance to perform outdoors, framed by branches of pink and white. Unfortunately, by Thursday morning a soaking — make that drenching, no, make that flooding — rain had water lapping at the steps of the amphitheater where they would have performed. This weekend’s Cherry Blossom Festival is postponed indefinitely, Wilkes-Barre special-events coordinator Lore Majikes said Thursday morning. She’s going to try to reschedule the popular event but said it will be difficult because all the weekends in May are booked, thanks to the many charitable organiza-

Purple will color the streets with awareness
PAGE 4
By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com
If you’re in downtown Wilkes-Barre next week and you see someone running around the block wearing purple, it might be a good idea to join along, at least for a bit. These runners are actually Relay for Life team members, out to raise awareness about cancer. These “fun laps” are one of the many activities planned for “Paint the Town Purple” week, an event sponsored by the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life of Wyoming Valley. This week of fundraising is part of the larger effort to promote the main Relay for Life event, which will take place from 10 a.m. June 11 to 10 a.m. June 12 at the King’s College Betzler Fields in Wilkes-Barre Township. “At that main event, the Relay teams camp out and take turns walking or jogging around a track while raising awareness of all the American Cancer Society does,” Sara Klinges, media chair for Relay For Life of Wyoming Valley, said. “The event is 24 hours to show that cancer doesn’t sleep and someone who has it battles it 24 hours a day.” The main event will offer many other activities, including a candlelight vigil called Luminaria. A smaller version of this will take place May 7 at dusk to close out “Paint the Town Purple” week. Luminaria is an event in which participants purchase candles in honor of loved ones who have battled cancer. Candles can be purchased for $10 each from Relay team members at Boscov’s, Barnes & Noble and Arts Seen Gallery. Candles will be sold until Thursday. Several downtown businesses are doing their best to flood the streets with purple and raise money for the American Cancer Society, which will receive all proceeds from the events. • Greek Connection on Public Square has donated a basket for a raffle. The two-for -$1

tickets and can be purchased at Boscov’s. The drawing will take place Saturday before the Luminaria ceremony. • A Cinco de Mayo event is set for 5:30 until 8:30 p.m. Thursday at Bart & Urby’s on South Main Street, hosted by The Star Survivors Relay team, made up of cancer survivors. • Arts Seen Gallery will have a purple storefront display showcasing the artwork of Teri Moore, who won the Relay for Life Art Contest. • Relay teams will be at Boscov’s and the downtown Barnes & Noble throughout the week selling items to raise money and playing games such as cancer word search and trivia to raise awareness while having fun. Both stores also will have purple-themed window displays. • Tony Thomas’ Deli on South Main Street will give a

10 percent discount to anyone who comes into the restaurant wearing purple. • Citizens Bank will be decorated in purple, and the F.M. Kirby Center and Genetti’s will run information about the Relay event in their electronic scrollboards. • Runners participating in fun laps will be downtown between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and Friday. They also will run
from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday. “Paint the Town Purple” was originally part of “Show Us Your Hope” activities, which marked the 25th anniversary of Relay For Life last year. The event is an integral part of The American Cancer Society’s fundraising activities. “It represents the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, that those who
face cancer will be supported, and that one day cancer will be eliminated,” Klinges said. “Relay started in 1985 with just one man, and now there are over 3.5 million people involved in over 6,000 events around the nation and world.”

Taste the difference of a bona-fide cantina

or as long as Mexican-food fans have debated the precise boundaries that separate traditional Mexican from, say, Tex-Mex, they also have kicked around the term “real” Mexican food, as opposed to, well, “chain” Mexican food, the kind usually plated at quick-built, Americanowned faux cantinas that tend to pop up near shopping centers. Not that there’s anything wrong with those. In fact, if we judge simply by the crowds at or the longevity of such local favorite haunts as La Tolteca, for example, we’d say plenty of folks put up no fussy protest about the origins of their spicy, tortillacentric favored fare. In fact, they might even prefer the taste and ambience of what the chains offer. Yet, as we approach Cinco De Mayo, that party-hardy, Battle of Puebla commemorative holiday that means so much more here in the states than it does in Mexico, we sought to find a nice, lesserknown compromise, a cross betweenabustlingandbona-fide,music-filled cantina and a quiet neighborhood joint where Mexican kitchen masters proudly but quietly serve the food of their homeland. Enter Terrapin’s Cantina in Bloomsburg, only a short road trip from Wilkes-Barre. (You’ll not have to travel nearly as far as you do for that big fall fair.) The recipes here are reported to come from Colorado, and, as such, you are warned to expect a little surprise in the way of taste. All fresh ingredients also are promised: plump, white boneless chicken breasts, natural, unprocessed cheese, cholesterol-free frying oil and pinto beans that arrive in 100pound bags and require careful sifting and cleaning, in other words “real,” work-for-them beans. From what we saw and sampled, wewerefairlyimpressed.Thecomfortable, authentic atmosphere is as enjoyable as the food, which starts, of course, with chips and salsa. AsinmanyMexicanrestaurants, the first basket of chips is on the house. The next will cost you $2.95 You might just enjoy the usual freebie and skip the nacho-leaning appetizers entirely or go for something like a Mexican pizza ($5.25) or crock of Colorado chili ($3.95).

chos so much, however, we went for a regular order of Nachos Grande ($9.95) to share, and we cleaned the basket. Our only beef, so to speak, was a shortage of beef in an otherwise delicious mix of beans, olives, jalapenos, cheese and sour cream. After that, consider an array of Mexican salads — taco, chicken-taco or seafood — or a host of old favorites hitting all the expected categories: quesadilla, fajita, enchilada, burrito and chimichanga. Most come smothered with a choice of mushroom or ranchero sauce. We had split feelings: I loved the peppery, tomato-based ranchero, while another found the tomato taste somewhat offputting. Rice and beans are served on the side of most of these dishes, and the rice is a notable notch above, moist and teeming with chopped fresh vegetables. It’s not to be pushed aside or considered an afterthought. We also need to note that the menuflat-outputsyouonnoticeabout the fajitas and chimis in particular. Here in Bloom, chimis are not flour

tortillas filled, rolled and deepfried. Rather, the tortilla itself is fried in cholesterol-free oil and the excess oil drained (though, if you insist, you can have it on the side). Then the tortilla is layered with a choice of meat, seafood or vegetables, Ranchero sauce and cheese and topped with lettuce and garnish, all to lovely effect. The result is a huge, succulent but healthier version of a delicious, if still guilty, pleasure that almost resembled a taco salad. Similarly, a Terrapin’s Fajita ($13.95 for the chicken) comes with a twist: Essentially, the work

While on the subject of Mexican restaurants, we’d be remiss not to remind readers that in a land where the locally owned establishments are few and far between, an old favorite is still going strong. If you’ve not been to The Brass Buckle, 334 South Main St. in Conyngham, why wait, when Cinco De Mayo calls? (Not that you can’t get American food there, because, yes, you can.) Not only is the place itself charming as all get-out (a combination of cantina and neighborhood house), but the surrounding Conyngham Valley is just gorgeous this time of year. Combination plates and chef’s specials are plentiful, and Mexican desserts are not to be missed. Bunelos and lemon cheesecake chimis! Need we say more?
already has been done. The meat comes wrapped in a flour tortilla and already stuffed with green peppers, mushrooms and onions. Our taster asked for a hold on the mushrooms, but that detail was missed. She didn’t mind that terribly, but in the final analysis admitted she’d rather have fixed her own fajitas. A control thing maybe.
The noncommittal, as many of us are when it comes to Mexican, will like the array of house favorites and combination plates. A Terrapin Sampler ($13.95) is a great way to go, as it includes a cheese quesadilla, a beef burrito and a chicken enchilada, as well as See REVIEW, Page 11

($14.95), each served with beans and the fabulous rice, are the higher-end burritos, with other offerings going for $8.95 to $10.95. You really can’t go wrong with any of the above, and small-group parties likely will want to try a nice, pass-it-all-around mix. To my mind, the chimis and the rice were the showstoppers, but far be it from me to try to stop you from ordering otherwise. I only wish I could have had a smaller chimi with a side of rice. With that in mind, more combo offerings or pick-yourown selections would have been appreciated, but by the time dessert came I forgot all about that. A Xango (lightly fried cheesecake wrapped in a tortilla and served with rich ice cream) and classic fried ice cream (made in house, and we chose honey over chocolate, caramel and peanut butter) were outright fabulous footnotes we hardly needed but couldn’t pass up. Overindulgence never tasted so satisfying. Times Leader food critics remain anonymous.

Cork Bar and Restaurant in Wilkes-Barre carries a variety of wines and is offering patrons a chance to learn more about them through a series of spring and summer wine classes. The first class is Tuesday and will focus on “Latin Lovers.” It will showcase wines from Spain, Argentina and Chile. Picos de Montgo Tempranillo is one such wine, from Spain. Tempranillo refers to a red wine grape variety from the Riberadel Duero region in Spain that tends to ripen earlier than most grapes. The name comes from the Spanish word “temprano,” which means “early.” “This wine has a lot of fruit notes,” Ruth Corcoran, owner of Cork, said. “It also has a very strong finish.” Tempranillo generally produces medium-bodied wines with hints of fruit, as well as notes of herb and an earthy or leathery minerality. • Cork Bar & Restaurant Spring and Summer Wine Classes: 7 p.m. Tuesdays; $15 per person. Classes will take place on the patio when weather permits. Reserve your spot by calling 570270-3818.

The fifth installment of the “Fast and Furious” franchise is big, loud, long and stupid. Its leading man is a charisma-free block of muscle, and its plot has holes big enough to drive a semi through. It’s also embarrassingly fun, the sort of speedy, senseless, violencecrammed action flick that virtually defines the summer season, with superheroes who aren’t gods or crusaders in tights but guys in T-shirts and jeans who can drive cars really fast. They’re criminals who break the law and yet are deeply, morally sound, so rooting for them is interesting. The series creators changed things up a bit. “Fast Five” has morphed from a race to a heist movie with a couple of excellent car chases and vicious fights, and the new dimension makes the film accessible to viewers who don’t know a 1970 Dodge Charger from a 2010 Toyota Prius. When last we saw our heroes Dom (Vin Diesel) and former FBI agent Brian (Paul Walker), the latter was breaking the former out of state custody by crashing the prison-bound bus in which Dom was riding. (No one is killed, though the bus flips about 40 times; innocent bystanders fare well in this movie to keep the heroes pure.) “Fast Five” opens with that rescue, following Dom, Brian and Dom’s sister/Brian’s girlfriend Mia (Jordana Brewster) on the lam into the shantytowns of Rio de Janeiro. Prudence suggests they should lie

low, but they’re tempted by the lure of Hollywood’s bright and shiny cliche, that “one last job.” Trouble is, the job goes awry (after the robbery of a moving train with a jaw-dropping ending). The trio discovers a secret hidden in one of its stolen cars and soon is at odds not only with a Rio crime lord (Joaquim de Almeida) but a pumped-up federal agent (Dwayne Johnson, in full raging bad-ass mode) determined to bring them to justice. What else can they do but get the old gang back together and try to steal the bad guy’s cash while evading the law? The film is as silly as this sounds, and yet somehow it works. Just don’t dwell on such questions as: If these guys are so broke, how can they afford the endless equipment to set up the heist? Why would a pretty female agent be so easily swayed by Dom, who possesses all the charm of an engine block? Fortunately the action is well choreographed and intense enough to distract from such musings.

But director/co-writer Jonathan Hensleigh tries to cram so much into well under two hours that the film often feels rushed and uninvolving. Ray Stevenson does a serviceable job of portraying the two-fisted Greene, and there are some gripping touches, as when a flunky proves how committed he is to Greene’s cause. But a portly Val Kilmer as a local police investigator and narrator seems wedged into the script, as if Hensleigh had too much ground to cover and didn’t want the audience to identify too much with Greene. Other casting choices — Fionnula Flanagan, Tony Lo Bianco, Paul Sorvino, Vincent D’Onofrio – are cool little nods to gangster movies and TV shows past, though Christopher Walken as mobster Shondor Birns doesn’t have a lot to do. “Kill the Irishman,” based on a non-fiction book by Rick Porrello, ends up whetting the appetite for a really good documentary because sometimes life is more compelling than fiction.

‘Don Quixote’ marries love and ballet By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com
Dazed and confused after he’s knocked unconscious, Don Quixote wanders through a troupe of young ladies and sees a vision or two. “Only he can see me,” said Paula Perez, 24, of Wilkes-Barre, who wears “a beautiful, big wedding gown” and veil as Dulcinea, the personification of Don Q’s ideally sweet, pure and chaste woman. “I’m Cupid. I even have a bow,” said Becky Phillips, 22, of Kingston, confirming she, too, in her role of Amour, is a figment of the would-be knight’s imagination. In the ballet “Don Quixote,” presented this weekend at Meyers High School by The Joan Harris Centre, the title character also meets a flesh-and-blood woman. Kitri is both alive and lively, as audiences will see. Rehearsing that role earlier this week, Amanda Sedor, 16, of Wyoming drew cheers from fellow cast members as she made an ankle-burning 16 fouetté turns look easy. Considered the most difficult turn in ballet, the movement has one leg continually turning while the other whips through the air, building momentum but never touching the ground. In his role as Kitri’s love interest, Basilio, 25-year-old Thomas Wilkins of Wilkes-Barre is similarly athletic with tours en l’air (turns in the air) and partner-lift-
ing. “It’s like any other sport,” Wilkins said, remembering track experiences from his middle-school days. Despite all their energy, Kitri and Basilio have a problem. Her father does not approve of the young man and wants her to marry someone else. Don Quixote will help the young lovers, in his own way, even though he’s smitten with Kitri himself and has mistaken the flirtatious girl for his ideal Dulcinea. “He’s pledged himself to her service,” said Jim Harris, explaining how Don Quixote’s pure love wants what’s best for his beloved. Harris, incidentally, was recruited for the title role. “It seems every time they want someone to play an old, crazy man …” he said with a laugh. “I’ve begun to take it personally.” Equal parts comedy and romance, the ballet includes toreadors, gypsies and Don Quixote’s obligatory chasing at windmills.

Pop Rox is a burst of hit songs By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com
IF YOU GO
A good night out is often marked by how much your feet hurt from dancing and how sore your throat is from singing (or maybe screaming) along to songs. Sure, you can hit up a bar with a well-stocked jukebox, or you can get an all-out party experience when you hit up a Pop Rox show. About three years ago Pop Rox, made up of Kelly Franks, Darren Fernandez, Mike Mancia, Matt Calabro, Dan Franks and Jamie Hutchinson, embarked on a journey of speakerthumping, crowd-rousing shows that throw some of the biggest party hits your way. “We play whatever is hot on the radio right now, as well as crowd favorites that everyone loves to hear,” Kelly Franks said. During any given night out with the band you might hear Lady Gaga back to back with Journey and Buckcherry. While cover bands may not be hard to come by, Pop Rox separates itself from the rest in the way it chooses to play music. “There are bands out there that are playing the top hits, but they all tend to put their own twist on it, like making it a rock

The group beat out Johnny Unit, Tanked and Blind Passenger to advance to the second round of the battle, set for May 12.

reat Britain! We’ve all gone gaga for royalty. If you’re reading this and have been up all night, drinking in all the William and Kate wedding mania, we toast you. We’ll even excuse you if you’re powered by strong coffee and not a nice, genteel cup of tea. We’ll also guess all this English enthusiasm might have given you a hankering for a little trip across the pond. If you don’t have the time or money for the voyage, however, allow us to help you get your English on without necessarily even crossing the Susquehanna River. Please enjoy our ANGLOPHILE’S GUIDE TO NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, which includes everything from where to quaff English ales and score the tastiest local curry to where to gather garments and groceries.

but that doesn’t mean you can’t sip some English brews from the comfort of your living room while watching the ceremony. COOPER’S SEAFOOD on North Washington Avenue in Scranton carries several styles of English beer. Tasty indulgences include Fiddler’s Elbow, an English Pale Ale from Wychwood Brewery; Fuller’s ESB, or extra special/strong bitter; Bass Pale Ale; and any brews from Samuel Smith’s brewery or Hepworth & Co Brewers. One type of beer, the dark one known as porter, is linked directly to England. “There are many different stories to it, but what it comes down to is that the porters in England, or message carriers, package deliverers, took a liking to this style of beer,” Tom Lynn of Cooper’s said. India Pale Ale, or IPA, actually was first brewed in England in the 19th century. One of the earliest-known brewers to export to India was the Bow Brewery. This beer became popular among East India Company Traders. And, when it comes to food, there seems to be a strong melding of Indian and English culture. Indian restaurants in England often are referred to as curry houses. “There was a transferring of community because England ruled over India for a

Fancy sounding like a Brit while you act like one? Impress your chums as you translate our English to their English: Chin wag: There will be plenty of this happening after the royal wedding, particularly among those who have been following the ceremony closely. A “chin wag” is simply a chat or a talk. Cracker/crackers/cracking: In order: excellent (the wedding was a “cracker”); crazy (he’s crackers for marrying her, not Will, of course); wonderful (Kate’s gown was cracking.) Bob’s your uncle: “And there you have it.” Marks the finality of a statement, usually after a set of directions. Want to turn that lamp on? Plug it in, press the switch, and Bob’s your uncle. If you really want to confuse someone, tell them “Robert’s your mother’s brother” instead. Or try this: “They walked down the aisle, said ‘I do,’ and Bob’s your uncle, and now Kate’s Will’s wife.’ ” Cheeky: Nervy. A few cheeky Brits no doubt tried to crash the royal wedding today. Shirty: Ill-tempered or unpleasant. Some would say Charles is a bit shirty, but not William. Codswallop: A load of crap, in short. Codswallop is a pile of nonsense, a poor excuse and fun to say. You say you got an invitation to this wedding? Codswallop! Give us a bell: Sounds much classier than, “Hey, call me sometime.” We hope readers will give us a bell if they were in England to witness these festivities. Bugger: This incredibly versatile word can be used in place of curses (“Oh, bugger!” or “Bugger off!”), to admit defeat (“We’re buggered.”) or to label someone in jest (“You really DID get an invitation to the royal wedding, you lucky bugger.”) Fancy: Replaces “desire” or “want” as a verb. Fancy a cup of tea with your biscuit? A biscuit, by the way, is just a cookie. Even royals fancy biscuits. Knackered: Did you get up at 4 a.m. to watch the nuptials? You MUST be knackered by now.

Showgoers can expect interaction. “We do anything and everything we can to get the people involved,” Kelly said. “We’ll drag people up on stage.” “If I have to get naked, I’ll get naked,” Fernandez said. “We just really want everyone to have a good time.” You also can find the band milling about when not on stage. “We’re a lot of fun and easy to get along with,” Kelly said. “We go and hang out with everyone in the crowd.

Don’t let misinformation hinder your tournament experience By TOM ROBINSON For The Times Leader
PLAINS TOWNSHIP — Tournament poker for some players is just an extension of standard no limit hold ’em play. Betting patterns and decisions tend to be very similar to what the player would do in a cash-game setting. Those who are successful or find tournament play particularly enjoyable, however, tend to adjust to chip stacks, blind levels and the ever-changing set of circumstances tournament play provides. For those players, knowing where they stand is vital. There are many positives in the overall tournament experience in the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs poker room, but the possibility of misinformation has hindered some players. The recent addition of $5,000 chips in tournament play has caused some confusion in night tournaments. The color scheme of the chips is a different shade of blue than the $500 chips, but the similarities have been enough to cause mistakes by players and dealers alike. Players have made commitments to call bets (when they would have folded) based on misinterpreting the original bet amount. Dealers have called out the wrong bet amounts from making the same mistake, though it is much easier for the dealer to take back his/her declaration and clarify for the table if the error is caught quickly. A player who verbally states “call” or “all-in” in response to a betting action he misunderstood is stuck even if the mistake is realized a second later. A less-troubling cause for
confusion has been around since the addition of dealer add-ons in December. The fact that the tournament scoreboard often still incorrectly lists chips in play and average chip stack, however, is a problem, considering how much time has passed. The tournament scoreboard/clock can provide a lot of information. It counts down each blind level, re-

judge their current standing in the tournament and adjust strategy accordingly, this number needs to be accurate. If the person operating the tournament scoreboard does not know how to make the chip counts accurate, then the step taken when the problem first was discovered in December needs to be tak-
en. At that time, total chips in play and average chip count were merely removed from the scoreboard. Whether players are looking at the scoreboard or the chips on the table, it is imperative that they quickly be able to recognize what they observe. It is good to offer players as much information as possible, but it is more important to make the information provided as accurate as possible.

CELEBRITY Q&A BY R.D. HELDENFELS
JUMBLE
UNIVERSAL SUDOKU
BY MICHAEL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK
Makeover show returned April 17 Q. What happened to “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition”? At first my family thought the “replacement” show was just temporary but it’s been several weeks now and what’s up with Ty and the gang? A. As has been noted here before, the broadcast network television season runs more than 40 weeks, from September into May, and most of those networks’ shows make around 22 episodes. As a result, the broadcasters either have to air a lot of reruns or fill time slots with substitute programs. “Secret Millionaire” has been filling the “Home Edition” time slot since March 6 and had its season finale April 10. “Home Edition” returned with new episodes on April 17. Both those moves were announced before “Secret Millionaire” even premiered on ABC.
PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION
CRYPTOQUOTE
Q. Do you know who plays Howard’s overly open, dare I say, loud-mouthed, yet unseen mother on the CBS show “Big Bang Theory?” A. That’s Carol Ann Susi, an actress who has a lot of TV credits where she is also seen. You may recall her — or her voice — from “The Boyfriend,” a 1992 episode of “Seinfeld” where she plays a woman George Costanza dates unsuccessfully. Do you have a question or comment for the mailbag?

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
PAGE 32
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are pre-
pared for any occurrence at all — like sudden hunger, a flat tire or a fit of extreme ennui. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You want any interaction with you to be a pleasant experience. Because of this, you will feel compelled to give and do more. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll benefit from being available to the world today. So avoid letting your calls get handled by the voice mail. Personalization will matter. Your human touch is valued by all.
ON THE WEB For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Sometimes
you’re wary of groups, daunted by the prospects of fitting in, learning the unspoken rules and understanding the charter. Let those worries go. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People need to know what you’re good at. Boast of your success. Better yet, find underhanded ways of delivering information so the praise is not coming directly from you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are mentally active, and your passionate emotions make it nearly impossible to stay calm, cool and collected. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Take a moment to celebrate the discoveries and inventions that have provided you with a higher quality of life.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Seek mutual-
ity in all things. Create relationships with those who show strong interest in you and what you do. Don’t chase. Only move forward when you feel the “click” of togetherness. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re not in a hurry; still you see the benefit of cutting to the quick. Honesty is the most direct route. You’ll speak your mind and set the stage for open communication in the future. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll provide a fun distraction from the task at hand. What needs to be accomplished will happen — business first is your motto — but not without a good dose of delight and whimsy.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Stress can
be healthy and motivating, or it can be restrictive and debilitating. You’ll tune in to the differences between good stress and bad stress. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be dealing with tough customers. Make sure the basics are covered before you get too ambitious. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 29). Your desire for personal security will be well satisfied over the next five weeks. With quiet strength and determination, you will bring about a desired change to your domestic scene. You’ll add to a collection in June. There’s a special connection with Cancer and Scorpio. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 11, 21, 24 and 2.
Dating his late wife’s nurse distresses widower’s family Dear Abby: My husband’s darling mother died of cancer last summer. During the last month of her illness she was confined to bed, so we hired a nurse, “Lois,” to cover the night shift. The day after the funeral, my husband’s father started calling Lois. Dad swore they were “just friends,” but continued pursuing her despite our disapproval. Two months later, they were dating. Last Thanksgiving, our
DEAR ABBY ADVICE first holiday without Mom, he cancelled plans to be with us and the grandkids to spend it with “friends” — guess who? This has hit my husband hard. Dad and Mom were married for 50 years. We have always had a close family, particularly at holiday time. Are we wrong to feel that Dad and Lois are disrespecting Mom’s memory and to feel
hurt and angry? — Grieving in Minnesota Dear Grieving: While it may appear your father-in-law jumped quickly into a relationship, it could be he grieved during the time his wife was ill and has concerns that his own time may be limited, so he wants to enjoy life while he can. As to missing the holidays, being there with his wife of 50 years conspicuously missing may have been more than he could face.
GOREN BRIDGE
Dear Abby: After having a stroke, my mother spent the last few years of her life in a nursing facility. She was an accomplished gardener and enjoyed sharing her bounty. Instead of sending her a fresh flower bouquet for Mother’s Day, I’d have some potted tomato plants delivered to her nursing home. On her death bed last year, she reminded us to water her tomato plants. I cannot think of a more fitting tribute to her memory than to encourage your readers to provide living vegetable

Fall in love with TV Williams and Kates By SANDRA SNYDER ssnyder@timesleader.com
William and Kate, Kate and William, everywhere you look today, probably through the weekend and maybe even into next week. If you’ve had your fill of this Kate and Will but want to stay in the spirit of the moment, use your channel-flipping finger to see what’s up with some of the other Williams (or Wills) and Kates on television today. Some of them are hot stuff. Maybe you’ll even fall in love. ••• • WILL GARDNER: In real life Josh Charles, he has to be one of the sexiest lawyers/bosses around. And “The Good Wife” has to be one of the smartest, most engaging lawyer hours on TV today. As the unmarried partner at Lockhart-Gardner, this Will is truly a good guy, even as he pines away for underling Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies), who’s married to Peter Florrick, a public-eye bad boy on a path to becoming good again. So far, Will and Alicia have only shared a kiss, but its steam is still fogging up those Windy City windows. “The Good Wife,” 10 p.m. Tuesdays on CBS. ••• • WILLIAM WALKER: OK, so you don’t see him much anymore, given he died in the premiere episode of “Brothers And
Sisters.” But this cheating husband (Tom Skerritt) still tells stories from beyond the grave. Most recently, in a hail of family secrets revealed, we learned he was in collusion with his wife’s long-ago first love (and onetime-only lover) to conceal the fact that he wasn’t necessarily the formidable Sarah Walker’s father. Will the family survive (as it usually does) this bombshell lobbed upon its eldest daughter? 10 p.m. Sundays on ABC ••• • ADDISON MONTGOMERY. Yeah, I cheat a bit here. Dr. Addison Montgomery, ob/gyn extraordinaire of “Private Practice,” is actually a Kate in real life, the fabulously polished Kate Walsh. But I couldn’t resist using her here, given the goodvs.-evil theme. When we met her on “Grey’s Anatomy,” she was the ultimate bad girl. Who, after all, would cheat on a husband like Dr. Derek Shepherd? After that marriage proved an epic fail and Addison left Seattle for sunnier California, she set herself to doing right again, even if she is technically now the other woman in a mostly solid relationship with her best friend’s ex-husband. Will she settle down for good and get her longed-for baby even as her biological clock ticks away? 10 p.m. Thursdays on ABC.
