Swimming season begins this weekend for many people, even if the water is a bit chilly.

oo cold or not too cold? That is the question. State parks around the region will open their lakes and pools in honor of the Memorial Day weekend, which probably means loads of people will be picnicking or buildingsandcastleswhileafewhardysoulstake a dip and see how long they can stay in. “It’ll be a little chilly,” predicted Park Ranger Joe Dougherty from Ricketts Glen State Park in Red Rock, where Lake Jean will be open from sunrise to sunset. The Sand Springs Lake at Hickory Run State Park near White Haven also opens for the season this weekend, with sunrise-to-sunset hours, while the pool at Frances Slocum State Park in Kingston Township is open 11 a.m. to 6:45 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Then it’s weekends only until June 11, after which the pool is open seven days a week. So, let’s say you do go swimming and, afterward, feel a need to warm up. Today through Monday you can visit the Sweet Valley Fair (477-5121) on the grounds of the Sweet Valley Fire Co., where fire-company member Jill Shaw has been chopping ingredients for gallons and gallons of a most comforting food – soup. “I’ll have Manhattan clam chowder and ham

& bean and whatever other people bring,” she said. “I’m making it for every night.” After the Sweet Valley Firemen’s Parade, which begins at 1:30 p.m. Monday on Main Street,thefairwillhostFiremen’sOlympics,during which firefighters from various hose companies test their strength by pumping water the old-fashioned way and hoisting buckets of water up a ladder, also the old-fashioned way. “It takes a lot out of you,” Harveys Lake firefighter Danny Bonavina told a reporter last year. Of course, Memorial Day is a day to honor America’s veterans and those who died serving their country. The Sweet Valley parade will pay tribute to them, as will several others throughout the area. Among them, West Wyoming’s Memorial Day parade begins at 9:15 a.m. Monday at Dailey Memorial Park on Shoemaker Avenue. West Pittston’s parade begins at 11:30 a.m. Monday at Linden Street and Wyoming Avenue. In Dallas, the Memorial Day parade begins at 9 a.m. at the Dallas American Legion, 730 Memorial Highway, and in Kingston, the West Side Memorial Day parade begins at 10:30 a.m. at Kingston Corners. If you’d like to celebrate the beginning of the summer season by embracing the great outdoors, there are several options – and many of them are at Frances Slocum State Park (6969105) in Kingston Township.

sweetness evident from the first bite. This same sauce covers the veal Parmesan ($14.95) which is pan-fried loveliness along the same lines. The veal itself was more than tender, the Italiancrumb breading present but not overbearing and the mozzarella, of course, a decadent addon, though the sauce could have stood on its own. It’s neither chunky nor runny, screams fresh and is perfectly, not overly, seasoned. You’ll find it over many a dish here, but if you go the non-sauced steak or fish route, be sure to snap up at least a side of pasta so you don’t miss out. Noodle partners come in multiple options – I chose angel hair – and are not treated as af-

terthoughts. Let’s just say I’d ordinarily not ask to take home the leftovers of a pasta side because I’m used to them tasting rather ho-hum. Not here. Not with this sauce. Into a little white container my leftovers went. Dinners come with a house salad or a soup, and both proved fine options, the former popping with freshness (and boasting several dressing options) and the latter starring big, bold ingredients. I don’t actually care for carrots, but the rather large chunks of them inside my Italian wedding soup could have changed my mind. I also often pass on dessert, but not today. Not when I spotted cannoli ($2.75) still on the menu. It was large for the price,

Cheers!

The ever-familiar cosmo gets a little ‘Loopy’

PAGE 4

By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

You’re about to dip into a nice bowl of cereal on a Saturday, Froot Loops, perhaps. The first bite is one of childhood memories. Then you realize it’s not Saturday morning but Saturday night and those colorful O’s aren’t floating in milk but vodka. Just when vodka enthusiasts thought there was no possible way Three Olives could find something else to turn to liquor,

along came Loopy, a tropicalfruit blend that pays homage to the popular cereal with a toucan mascot. Bart and Urby’s bar manager Carl Achhammer has concocted the Loopy Cosmo, a delectable martini that tastes of almost no alcohol. “It’s pretty much as much fruit flavor as possible,” he said. Achhammer combined the Three Olives Loopy with orange liqueur and splashes of cranberry and lime juice. A lift of the glass

to the lips is enough to experience the full fruit essence, and the flavor just keeps coming with each sip. While the drink itself is good, Achhammer adds one more touch to top it off. “I don’t think they sink,” he said as he poked a straw at the Froot Loops floating on top of the cosmo, eventually popping one into his mouth. “A little soggy though and full of vodka.” •••

LOOPY COSMO Served at: Bart and Urby’s, 119 S. Main St., Wilkes-Barre Price: $7 Recipe: • 2 oz. Three Olives Loopy vodka • 1 oz. orange liqueur • Splash of cranberry juice • Splash of lime juice Shake all ingredients together with ice in martini shaker. Strain into glass, then top with Froot Loops cereal.

well-filled (with a cream that would fall somewhere between a custard and a cake icing) and flaky-perfect. My guest craved a finale of spumoni, and this is one of the few places you can actually find that fruit-studded Italian icecream dessert, but on this night it was not to be. Our server indicated it might return as high season for ice cream settles in. Fortunately, my guest seemed just as pleased with a basic cheesecake ($4.25), whose light compliance under a fork impressed. Final analysis? Good to know this wonderful little place hasn’t changed since before those raging waters hit. Well, technically it has. The colors are brighter and happier these days (pinks and reds more than neutrals and browns), but the setup is familiar: two small, adjoined rooms with a mix of seating, mostly four tops, a few twotops, a handful of round tables and one inviting-looking booth. Which is, again, the only problem. Can such a popular little spot hold us all? Perhaps that’s the attraction. When the place is packed – and do expect it – you have to figure: So many people cannot be wrong. From the chatter we heard among us, no one was complaining, about tight fits or any of the food. But do yourself a favor and make a reservation. And leave us a parking spot.

he facility on Main Street in Pittston may be 55,000 square feet, but from the outside it’s unassuming. A walk through brightly lighted hallways at Susquehanna Brewing Co. will still make the structure feel cozy, until you pass through the door to where the actual brewing takes place. That’s when the enormity of the operation hits.

Maier’s father, Ed, SBC president and a great-great-grandson of local brewing pioneer Charles Stegmaier, and Mark Nobile, whose grandfather operated Wyoming Quality Beverage in West Wyoming in 1934, just after prohibition ended. The group recently brought in brew master Jaime Jurado, who came from The Gambrinus Com-

pany in San Antonio, Texas, where he served as the director of brewing operations since 1997. Not only is the equipment unique to the brewery, so are the techniques. Jurado learned of an endosperm mashing process while with Gambrinus, which he brought to the brewery. “Think of a grain of barley like an ear of corn,” Fred Maier said.

“It’s removing the husk and brewing with the pure starch of the malt.” “We are the second brewery in the country, seventh in the world, to do endosperm mashing, so, really, it starts off from the beginning as something special.” The first two beers to be sold will be 6th Generation Stock Ale and Goldencold Lager. “It’s a pre-prohibition style, akin to a mild pale ale,” Fred Maier said of 6th Generation. “It’s fresh and not as bitter as an IPA. It’s drinkable and smoother but still with the fresh hop flavor.” He calls Goldencold a “brilliant, crisp, clean drink-it-all-day kind of lager.” SBC will sell beer exclusively in draft form until the end of June, which is when bottled and draft beer will be produced.

BEST BET For a change of pace from barbecues and Memorial Day parades, head to Jessup for the ethnic festival known as ‘La Festa dei Ceri’ or ‘St. Ubaldo Day,’ an age-old tradition imported from Gubbio, Italy, highlighted by a race in which teams carry statues of St. Ubaldo, St. George and St. Anthony and race through the hilly streets of Jessup. The ceremonies begin Saturday morning when the St. Ubaldo Band travels through the streets at 7:30 a.m. awakening the town. Then follows a morning of ceremonies, processions, a Mass, the blessing and ‘Raising of the Saints’ before the race at 5:30 p.m. beginning at Powell Avenue and finishing at Veterans Memorial Field. At 8 p.m., a candlelight procession returns the saints. Also happening in Jessup this weekend is the annual Jessup Hose Company Carnival on Hill Street.

Mayday at Kirby Park is fun for all ages By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

PAGE 6

t its five-year anniversary mark, the annual holiday-weekend musical tradition known as Mayday is boasting its biggest growth since its start. “Two days this time around,” said co-organizer Rich Perry, the excitement clear in his voice. “It’s been quite a ride. Some things were easy, some things not so much, but we’re ready to go.” Mayday and its more than 80 musical acts takes over the Kirby Park landscape each year on Memorial Day weekend. The event is put on by Sector One, a local group of DJs, emcees and producers. The idea for the festival was born out of respect for those in the Armed Forces, particularly when one of Sector One’s own, Sgt. Randy Conley, was deployed. All proceeds from Mayday go to Soldiers’ Angels, a nonprofit organization incorporated in Nevada and operating out of California that aids and comforts the men and women of the United States Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard, as

well as veterans and their families through various projects. Six stages are part of the layout for Mayday, and the genres for each include Hip Hop, Freedom, Dubstep, House/Electro, Drum and Bass and a Live Stage. “In the past in order to accommodate everyone that wanted to be involved we had to give out smaller sets, but now with two days it’s been easier to schedule,” Perry said. “There would be DJs back to back, DJing on top of each other, but now everySee MAYDAY, Page 21

Notes on Music

How to get your ’80s groove on

By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

The members of Hostile Authority aren’t putting on an act when they get on stage and rock out old-school ’80s style. They’re simply doing what they know. “When we were younger we went to these ’80s concerts, and the musicians were all over the stage, running from one end to the other, jumping around, shredding guitar solos,” drummer Matt Cortazar said. “We’re doing exactly what they did back then.” Hostile Authority, a group of 40-somethings from Scranton, will play Bar Louie at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs on Sunday. Expect a throwback time, because the group bills itself as the “premier ’80s arena rock band.” The band covers tracks from artists such as Motley Crue, Ratt, Poison, Alice in Chains and Twisted Sister, with the attitude and stage presence to match. A full-blown light show adds to the energy. The band, which also includes guitarist Ken Taddonio, bassist John Cognetti and vocalist Dyer Knight, formed in 2009 as a creative outlet for its busy members. “We’re all full-time professionals in our fields, so the band was a way to try to relax, which is something we want the people that come to see us to do,” Cortazar said. Cortazar said Hostile Author-

The Great Party will celebrate the release of its self-titled album this weekend.

Catchy tunes such as “Cupcake,” “Teresa,” and “Hencho En Mexico” bring an indie-rock/pop sound unlike any other on the local scene. The band has high hopes and is excited for the album, which Mang calls “sexy.” “It’s the attractive person you want everyone to see you walking into the room with: very pleasing to your senses and mind but still lots of fun to hang out with. The ideal significant other.” ••• Dave Matthews Band fever will strike in earnest this weekend as the boys hit up Montage Mountain on Monday, but a past Montage show is what really has people buzzing. Die-hard DMBers will be happy to know the jam band will release “Live Trax Vol. 22,” a threeCD set or digital download of the July 14, 2010, show on the mountain. For those who may not remember, the set list for that show contains hits that span many eras of DMB, as well as newer jams. “You & Me” has a “Digging A Ditch” tease intro, while “Grace is Gone” brings a country-tinged outro. Two of the longer tracks, which many DMB fans treasure, are “#41” and “Two Step,” which clock in at 20 and 16 minutes respectively. The album can be purchased at www.davematthewsband.com.

partner (Josh Brolin). Together, they must stop the menacing Boris (a wasted Jermaine Clement) from annihilating humanity. While Jones provides some early, welcome doses of surly comic relief, “Men in Black 3” is really a Will Smith vehicle. He’s in nearly every scene and provides plenty of obvious improvisation. Together with Brolin (whose imitation of Jones is eerily accurate), the pair keeps the film humming and brings the chaos to an unexpectedly poignant conclusion.

The visual-effects work is predictably top-shelf, with plenty of squirm-inducing creatures on display, though there are moments where the seams show. “Men in Black 3,” filmed in 3-D, doesn’t really benefit from the flashy technology, though J’s initial “time jump” from the Chrysler Building and the climactic struggle at Cape Canaveral both get an eye-popping boost. Although not out of this world, “Men in Black 3” still achieves lift-off, proving there’s still life in one of Hollywood’s most profitable series. Only the dollars raked in this time around will determine if this is the last we’ve seen of the dynamic, darksuited duo.

This week’s DVD selections offer different looks at male bonding: ••• “THE GREY,” GRADE B: A group of survivors of a plane crash must battle a pack of hungry wolves. Liam Neeson stars. “RED TAILS,” GRADE C-MINUS: A crew of black pilots is called into World War II duty. The Tuskegee Airmen story is a powerful example of racism that prevented talented Americans from defending their country because of the color of their skin. “ROUTE 66: THE COMPLETE SERIES,” GRADE B-PLUS: The series starring Martin Milner, George Maharis and later Glenn Corbett as friends traveling Route 66 was the perfect escap-

DVD

THE AVENGERS – After a series of summer blockbusters that individually introduced Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor and Captain America, all these characters come together alongside several other friends and foes. PG-13 for intense sci-fi violance, action and a mild drug reference. 143 mins. ★★★ 1/2 BATTLESHIP — This is big, dumb fun that knows it’s big, dumb fun and enthusiastically embraces its big, dumb, fun nature. It’s all based on a satellite signal sent to a newly discovered planet that looks a lot like ours in a neighboring galaxy, provoking some angry extraterrestrials. PG-13 for intense violence, action and destruction, and for language. 131 mins. ★★ 1/2 DARK SHADOWS — Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are snuggled in their comfort zone in this horror-comedy, their eighth collaboration and weakest by far. You need not know a thing about the “Dark Shadows” TV series that inspired this. PG-13 for comic horror violence, sexuality, drug use, language and smoking. 116 mins. ★ 1/2 THE DICTATOR — In his leastfocused film yet, Sacha Baron Cohen stars as Admiral Gen. Aladeen, who has ruled a fictitious North African nation cruelly and cluelessly since he was 7. When he travels to New York to speak before the U.N., he finds he’s been double-crossed by his right-hand man and forced to survive as a commoner. R for strong, crude and sexual content; brief male nudity; language; and violent images. 84 mins. ★ 1/2 THE HUNGER GAMES An earnest, plodding thumb-sucker based on Suzanne Collins’ sci-fi novel. PG-13 for violence, gore, adult themes. 142 mins. ★★ WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU’RE EXPECTING — A likable, good-looking cast of popular actors can only do so much with material that’s superficial and sitcommy. This is “inspired by” the advice book of the same name, one every single pregnant woman on the planet surely has read since its initial publication in 1985. PG-13 for crude and sexual content, thematic elements and language. 110 mins. ★★

CELEBRITY Q&A BY R.D. HELDENFELS

JUMBLE

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

BY MICHAEL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

‘Capturing Mary’ not scheduled to air Q. I saw the movie “Capturing Mary” with Maggie Smith was on HBO. I am always looking to see if it is shown at any cable channels with no luck. I bought the movie through Amazon but it is in the “British Format” and my DVD player cannot play it. Would you please tell me, if it is possible, when it is going to be shown again. A. The production, written by the excellent Stephen Poliakoff, first aired on HBO in 2007. I did not find an upcoming showing or an HBO On Demand listing. It is listed on HBO Go, which makes programming available to HBO subscribers via computers, mobile devices and other gear. For more info, see www.hbogo.com. Q. William Reynolds was on a favorite show of mine, “The F.B.I.” He was the partner of Lewis Erskine (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.). Is he still living? Although I don’t have cable TV or a DVD player, I sure would like to see the show again.

PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION

CRYPTOQUOTE

A. From what I can find, as of April 30, Reynolds is still with us at the age of 90. Even though you do not have a DVD player, you can order the first two seasons from Warner Bros.’ DVD-on-demand line at www.wbshop.com. When searching, make sure to type in FBI instead of F.B.I. And note that each season is split into two DVD boxes. Reynolds had guest roles in a couple of those early episodes, but did not begin playing Special Agent Tom Colby until the third season. Do you have a question or comment for the mailbag? Write to me at rheldenfels@thebeaconjournal.com or by regular mail to the Akron Beacon Journal, 44 E. Exchange St., Akron, OH 44309.

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

PAGE 14

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You were

strongly persuaded — maybe even tricked — to do a job. In any case, you agreed, and that’s that. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your opinion is needed, but not more than your affection and admiration. You’ll realize the full scope of what you can give. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Being too focused on results, you may not realize all you have accomplished along the way. Look back and celebrate each milestone. You deserve the very best.

ON THE WEB For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You know bet-

ter than to ask others what you should be doing. You’ll ask your own heart. The answer you get may require interpretation and translation, but it will be exactly, perfectly “you.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you’re in your own realm, you have a strong sense of purpose, but there’s something about foreign territory that makes you want to loaf around. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). At work, there’s a force being applied that keeps you on task and within a certain deadline. You may not like the pressure, but you have to admit that it’s effective. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll get excited about what’s coming up. And even

though you can see the outline of the future silhouetted on the horizon, when you actually get there, it will still be somewhat of a surprise. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It may be hard to wrap your head around another person’s problems, but you’ll try to give genuine understanding to everyone you love. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Just because you’re orienting yourself to your own needs doesn’t mean you are selfish. You are, in fact, doing others a favor by providing for yourself. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your popularity can open doors for others and also move your own agenda along. Make good use of the rapport you’ve built and the relationships you so easily maintain.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The facts

are apparent, and the answers are written in plain form. Because of this, a disagreement can now be settled without protest or drama. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If everyone does a small piece of a job, you’ll wind up with hundreds of small pieces instead of one finished job. That is, unless you’re the leader. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 25). After a bit of compromise and some juggling, a relationship settles into a wonderful groove in July. You’ll find work you love and will commit to it with great diligence in August. Capricorn and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 2, 3, 23 and 19.

Pause during holiday to thank those who made it possible Dear Abby: Would you please remind your many readers that the greatest gift we can give to America’s fallen is the gift of remembrance? The legacy of those who have died for our freedom is something that strengthens and unites Americans. Since 1997, Major League Baseball has stopped all games in progress at 3 p.m. on Memorial Day to observe the

DEAR ABBY ADVICE National Moment of Remembrance. The umpire steps out from home plate, removes his mask, and halts the game so that everyone can pause. The crowd rises as one with hands over their hearts. Along with MLB, the Ironworkers, Sheet Metal Workers and firefighters unions, American Veterans Center, the National Cartoonists Society and Bugles Across

America observe the Moment, too. The Moment does not replace traditional Memorial Day events. It is not an “event” but an act of conscience. Throughout our history, and especially during the past decade, servicemen and women in foreign lands have been dying almost daily to protect freedom and liberty. We encourage all citizens to make every day Memorial Day in their hearts, but especially on Memorial Day itself. May the love of country always bond

GOREN BRIDGE

Americans together. For all of the fallen, let us continue to make this nation one great American family in spirit. To learn more, please go to www. ngl.org. — Carmella LaSpada, Founder, No Greater Love Dear Carmella: I’m printing your reminder in advance of Memorial Day so that readers can plan ahead for it. I know many of them will be interested in observing it. Readers, wherever you are at

THE GUIDE

3 p.m. local time on Monday, May 28, won’t you join me in pausing for the National Moment of Remembrance and honoring those brave individuals who died for us? And when you do, make a commitment to give back to our country in their memory by putting your remembrance into action. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O.

Risky business for CBS By JOE FLINT and YVONNE VILLARREAL Los Angeles Times

NEW YORK — Coming off a season in which it finished first in viewers and made gains in all key demographics, CBS unveiled a fall schedule that has just four new shows but does take some risks by relocating a couple of established hits. “We have one goal; that is just to continue making hit TV shows,” said CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler. In a subtle dig at critics who often praise low-rated shows on other broadcast and cable channels and dismiss

CBS’ popular shows, Tassler said, “We don’t get confused; we don’t get sidetracked,” and added that the network wants to “create television stars.” CBS is coming off a season in which it averaged 11.75 million viewers in prime time, a gain of 1 percent. Among the coveted adults 1849 demographic, CBS grew 3 percent and is now just twotenths of a ratings point behind the leader, Fox. “Momentum is on our side right now,” said CBS senior executive vice president Kelly Kahl. In something of a surprise,

Melina Kanakaredes and Gary Sinise star in ’CSI:NY.’

CBS is moving its freshman comedy “Two Broke Girls” from its 8:30 p.m. Monday time slot to a half-hour later at 9 p.m., which has been the longtime home of “Two and a Half Men.”

Jon Cryer portrays Alan Harper, and Ashton Kutcher portrays Walden Schmidt on the comedy ’Two and a Half Men.’

Comedy wins over nighttime NBC By SCOTT COLLINS Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — NBC evidentlybelieveslaughteristhebest medicine: The struggling network will have a strong dose of comedy on four nights in its fall lineup plus the Season 3 return of “The Voice.” Keeping its Thursday sitcom block essentially intact with existing series, NBC will push the lowrated comedies “Community” and “Whitney” to Fridays and open up Tuesdays and Wednesdays for new sitcoms such as “Go On,” “Animal Practice” and “Guys With Kids.” Nearly one-quarter of NBC’s fall prime-time schedule will consist of sitcoms; last fall, the figure was just 14 percent. Also on the schedule: the Monday one-hour series “Revolution,” the new sci-fi drama from pro-

NEW YORK (AP) — ABC will introduce new shows about a fading country music star, a trapped submarine, alien neighbors and a creepy New York apartment building this fall. The third-place network ordered 10 new series for next season, six of them dramas. In keeping with the year-round scheduling model now in vogue, only four new shows will start in September. With “Desperate Housewives” ending its run and the now-cancelled “GCB” failing to draw a Sunday night audience, ABC will move the soapy drama “Revenge” to Sundays in the fall. Andre Braugher will star as the captain of a doomed submarine in the new “Last Resort.” Connie Britton is the country legend in “Nashville.” “666 Park Avenue” is the devilish apartment address, and September’s only new comedy is “The Neighbors.”

edgment that there is more upside in that program than there is in the aging “Two and a Half Men,” which is moving to Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. Although “Two and a Half Men” survived the replacement of Charlie Sheen with Ashton Kutcher, its ratings dipped this season after a strong start. Now it will be in what is known in the industry as a “protected time period” because it will have the smash hit “The Big Bang Theory” in front of it at 8 p.m. CBS will launch three new dramas and one comedy this fall. The comedy, “Partners,” is from “Will and Grace” creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick and is about two best friends and business partners who see their relationship change when one becomes engaged. CBS has scheduled it on Mondays at 8:30 p.m. between “How I Met Your Mother” and “Two Broke Girls.” On the drama front, CBS’ big bet is “Elementary” a modern-day take on Sherlock Holmes starring Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu. It will air on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. Dennis Quaid is also making his TV debut in “Vegas,” about legendary Las Vegas Sheriff Ralph Lamb. Michael Chiklis, best known from FX’s gritty “The Shield,” also stars. The network’s third drama is “Made in Jersey,” about a working-class lawyer who tries to fit into a stuffy Manhattan law firm. CBS is also reducing its reliance on the “CSI” franchise. Gone is “CSI Miami” starring David Caruso, but the original “CSI” and “CSI New York” remain. The network also got attention for a move it didn’t make, keeping its critically acclaimed legal drama “The Good Wife” in its Sunday 9 p.m. slot. The show had originally launched on Tuesday nights at 10 p.m., but last season the network moved it to Sunday, hoping to broaden its audience. However, that wasn’t the case and many fans were hoping the network would move it back to its old time slot, where it wasn’t competing against so many other shows targeting the same upscale demographic. In addition, CBS announced two midseason shows — a drama called “Golden Boy,” about a New York police officer who becomes the city’s youngest police commissioner, and a comedy called “Friend Me,” about two friends who relocate from Indiana to Los Angeles and struggle to adjust to the fast lane.

‘Cougar Town’ will relocate in fall Turner Entertainment Networks, parent of cable channels TBS and TNT, presented its programming to advertisers at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom. TNT announced series that include the medical drama “Monday Mornings” and two more unscripted series, in addition to its soon-to-belaunched “The Great Escape.” TBS, meanwhile, touted its

new competition series “King of the Nerds” and the newly green-lighted “Deon Cole’s Black Box” — in the vein of “The Soup” and “Tosh 2.0” — and “Who Gets the Last Laugh?” That’s in addition to its acquisition of ABC’s “Cougar Town,” which will roll out in 2013. “Everyone at ‘Cougar Town’ is thrilled to be part of the home at TBS,” star Courteney Cox told the crowd.

Also announced was a collaboration initiative among TBS, Adult Swim (along with select Turner digital properties) and the website Funny Or Die to help boost the digital content provider’s sales. The deal gives Turner Broadcasting a minority equity stake in the humor site, and makes the broadcaster’s sales team the exclusive seller of advertising opportunities with Funny Or Die.

TBS has picked up ‘Cougar Town,’ starring Courteney Cox, foreground, and Christa Miller, background.

NBC

ditional — and much more competitive — fall launch. In choosing the comedies, NBC executives seemed to be shooting for shows with broad appeal to educated, upwardly mobile young adults — the same group the network targeted during its glory days of the 1990s, withsmashhitssuchas“Friends” and “Seinfeld.” “Guys With Kids” is about thirtysomething men struggling with fatherhood. “The New Normal,” co-created by Ryan Murphy of “Glee” fame, is about a gay couple and the female surrogate who helped them have a child.

“Animal Practice” is about the love life of a young veterinarian. And “Go On” finds former “Friends” star Matthew Perry as a sportscaster. “We’ve got a lineup of new shows that will really get people to sit up and take notice,” Greenblatt said. The new dramas “Do No Harm,” “Infamous” and “Hannibal” will be held for midseason. The network also will bring back the Broadway-themed “Smash,” its most-watched drama, for a spring re-launch with a new executive producer. Other existing series being held for

midseason include Donald Trump’s “The Celebrity Apprentice” and the weight-loss contest “The Biggest Loser.” Despite low ratings, the newsmagazine “Rock Center With Brian Williams” will return in the fall, now in the plum time slot of 10 p.m. Thursday — a spot once occupied by the hit drama “ER.” Among the shows not making the cut is “Harry’s Law,” which executives said drew a “very old” audience that advertisers did not like. Another victim is “Awake,” a critically acclaimed drama that never managed to find an audience.

...” “But they would have swamped us. Then no one could have survived.” “The sound they made was deafening, like there was an entire football stadium out there in the dark.”

“I’ll hear those voices for the rest of my life ...” “There were more than 450 empty seats on the lifeboats …” “If only I had seen that iceberg before it was too late …” “If only they hadn’t kept increasing the speed …” “If only the Californian had heard my call …. ” Researching the story has made some cast members who are real-life siblings or friends ponder what they would have done if they actually had been travelers on the ill-fated ship and had a chance to step into a life boat. “We talked about it,” said 14year-old Katie Roarty, who plays a third-class passenger named Kate Murphy. “If one of us couldn’t get on, none of us is getting on.”

Crofchick said, explaining the scene is even more poignant when the whole Thayer family, including Rhiannon Legg as their young daughter, is there for the sad farewell. Similar separations did take place on Titanic, according to eyewitness accounts, but the musical script takes poetic license with the fate of certain passengers and crew members. In real life, for example, a stoker named Frederick Barrett survived and gave testimony during an inquiry into the collision. But in the play, he gives up his chance to row a lifeboat to a male passenger who has a baby on the way. “He gives up his life for this fellow here,” said Louis Jablonski, 16, who portrays Barrett. The story of the brave stoker is also one of the plot’s romantic twists. “He used the telegraph to propose to his girlfriend back home,” Jablonski said. “But now he’ll never see her again.” Near the end of the show, various characters take turns reflecting on the tragedy: “There were over 1,000 poor souls floundering in the freezing water ...” “We wanted to go back for them, of course, to pick them up

as many members of the community as possible. We want to see people getting behind the cause as well as coming out and enjoying what we have to offer. We want them to experience the music culture, the art culture and just have a good time all around.”
