I don’t know about you, but I am kind of excited about seeing all the upcoming coverage of “The Royal Wedding” of Prince William and Kate Middleton Friday, April 29. One of my favorite guilty pleasures is reading celebrity magazines like In Touch, so I’ve been eating up everything about the royal couple for the past few months. They’re just so glamorous and seem genuinely in love, so what’s not to love? I certainly am not one of those Who else is excited about Will and Kate’s wedding? crazies who’d travel across the Atlantic to try to catch a glimpse quite different from England’s, of the procession, and I certainly hmm? won’t buy any of the gewgaws Back on our side of the pond, associated with the wedding there is a lot going on in this — things like salt-and-pepper week’s issue, from interviews shakers, bobbleheads or, for with Taking Back Sunday (p. whatever reason, the toilet seat 24) and the Sheriff’s Office in cover I just found online — but “Scooter Girl” (p. 56) to the it’s just nice to see something unveiling of this year’s Concert happy in the news for once.

news of the weird By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
POOR DESIGNS Businesses typically resist government regulation, but in March Florida’s interior designers begged the state House of Representatives to continue controlling them, with a theatrically ham-handed lobbying campaign challenging a deregulation bill. Designers righteously insisted that only “licensed professionals” (with a minimum six years of college and experience) could prevent the nausea Floridians would suffer from inappropriate color schemes (affecting the “autonomic nervous system” and salivary glands). Also, poorly designed prison interiors could be turned into weapons by inmates. Furthermore, deregulation would contribute to “88,000 deaths” a year from flammable materials that would suddenly inundate the market in the absence of licensing. Said one designer, addressing House committee members, “You (here in this chamber) don’t even have correct seating.” (If deregulation is successful, competition will increase, and lower fees are expected.) CULTURAL DIVERSITY -- The longstanding springtime culinary tradition of urine-soaked eggs endures, in Dongyang, China, according to a March CNN dispatch. Prepubescent boys contribute their urine (apparently without inhibition) by filling containers at schools, and the eggs are boiled according to recipe and sold for the equivalent of about 23 cents each. Many residents consider the tradition gross, but for devotees, it represents, as one said, “the (joyous) smell of spring.” -- In January, while the Texas Legislature debated budget cuts that would almost certainly cost Allen High School (just north of Dallas) at least $18 million and require layoffs of teachers and other school personnel, construction was continuing on the school’s new $60 million football stadium. Noted a New York Times report on the stadium (which 63 percent of voters approved in a 2009 bond referendum), “(O)nly football supersedes faith and family (among Texans).”
QUESTIONABLE JUDGMENTS -- For Career Day in April at Shady Grove Elementary School in Henrico, Va., kids heard a local plastic surgeon describe his specialty, but not until afterward did parents learn that the surgeon had brought along as props saline breast implants (which he passed around for the kids to handle). Many parents were outraged, and even one calmer parent commented, “Career Day sure isn’t what it once was.” -- The End Is Near, But How Near? In March in Owensboro, Ky., James Birkhead, 52, was sentenced to 5 1/2 months in jail for making survivalist bombs to protect his family after he became alarmed by the movie “2012,” which portrays the chaos expected next year when the world ends (as supposedly foretold by the Mayan calendar). By contrast, Edwin Ramos of Vineland, N.J., is busy traveling the East Coast in his RV trying to warn people that the end will not be in 2012 but actually May 21, 2011. (The discrepancy would not exist if there had been a biblical year “0” after B.C. and before A.D.) Ramos’ father apparently does not share his son’s view because he accepted ownership of Ramos’ successful construction business as Ramos concluded that it had no future. -- Marie Stopes International is a prominent London charity that robustly promotes a woman’s right to choose abortion, but a whimsical public service campaign in January has created
unusually savage criticism. The organization partnered with the British comedy music band The Midnight Beast to produce a video suggesting anal sex as a contraceptive of choice. Among the lyrics of one song, “One up the bum, and it’s no harm done/ One up the bum, and you won’t be a mum.” LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS -- A man stole Waltham, Mass., student Mark Bao’s notebook computer in March, but Bao used his automatic onlinebackup service to access the hard drive while the thief was using it, to discover a performance video of a man (presumably the thief) dancing (lamely, thought Bao) to a pop song. Bao uploaded the video to YouTube — where 700,000 viewers showed it the proper disrespect — and also tracked down the thief’s e-mail address and informed him of his new Internet “stardom.” Shortly afterward, the still-unidentified thief turned in the notebook to Bentley University police with an apology to “Mark,” begging him to take down the video. NAMES IN THE NEWS -- Arrested in Aurora, Colo., in January and charged with stalking his wife: Joseph Moron. Appointed to a senior executive position in January in the global communications firm AlcatelLucent: George Nazi. Arrested for dealing marijuana in March in Fairfax County, Va.: Kevin Lee Cokayne. Appointed as interim chief medical officer of Newhall Memorial Hospital in Santa Clarita, Calif., in March: Dr. Richard Frankenstein. Arrested for DUI in April by a California Highway Patrolman (“CHiP”): Eric Estrada (not the actor). Posthumously rejected as the namesake for the new government office center in Fort Wayne, Ind., in March: former Fort Wayne Mayor Harry Baals (pronounced “bales” by his descendants but always “balls” by Mr. Baals, himself).

LATEST RELIGIOUS MESSAGES -- Former stripper Crystal Deans, who said she learned the trade at age 18 but later retired
and turned to God for help through a rough patch of her life, now offers free pole-dancing classes in Spring, Texas, near Houston, expressly for Christian women. Her gyrations may be the same as when she was working, she said, but now everyone is clothed, and she dances only to “Christian music.” -- Youth pastor Brent Girouex, 31, was urged to confess by his minister in Council Bluffs, Iowa, in February to an apparently lengthy series of sexual experiences with boys and young men, which he initiated by suggesting that ejaculating would help the victims gain “sexual purity” by (as he explained to detectives) “getting rid of the evil thoughts in their mind.” Eight victims reported multiple purification sessions, with one estimating as many as 100.

Absolution unveils new CD A
bsolution was one of the dozens of local bands that were scheduled to perform at The Woodlands on April 27 as part of “Concert For A Cause 9.” But about six weeks ago, the group sent its apologies and gave word that it wouldn’t be able to make it. The reason? A very good one: A U.S. tour with national act Taproot. And the timing couldn’t have been any better, as it coincides with the release of the local hard-rock band’s new album, “The Other Side Of Nothing,” which hits stores on May 3. Absolution vocalist Mark Wojtkiewicz says the group found out in early March that it had been tapped to hit the road with Taproot. And so far, so good. “Originally, it was 17 dates, and it was mainly the West Coast,” says Wojtkiewicz, calling from Washington state. “But Taproot are very, very busy people. They just keep stringing dates and stringing dates, so what started out as 17 dates turned into 36 or 37.” Wojtkiewicz says it’s a new experience for Absolution, as the band is traveling through clubs, cities and even states that it has never visited before. He adds, however, that the members of Taproot have been hospitable. “They all real cool guys,” he
says. “They’ve been doing it for 10 or 11 years, so they’re kind used to keeping to themselves and doing their own thing, and so do we. But they’re super nice. We’re on same team, which kind of makes us feel at home and at ease. And it takes the brunt away from being this far away from home, because they are so nice and they are so open to helping us out.” Formed in 2005, Absolution also features guitarist and vocalist Jay Green, bassist Brian McDonald, drummer and vocalist Tom Godin and guitarist Will Perna. “The Other Side of Nothing” will be released to all Gallery of Sound stores, Wayne’s World and online sites such as iTunes, CD Baby and Amazon. It was recorded at the group’s own Side B Studios in Dorrance and was produced by Godin. It is a follow up to the group’s previous efforts, “Surfacing” and “Theory of Existence.” Wojtkiewicz says that the band — now with a few years under its belt, lots of recording and playing live and some tweaks to its lineup — has truly found its groove. “We’ve really established our sound with this album,” he says, adding that the biggest difference for him on the new CD is that he did the entire album sober. After battling addiction, he says sobriety has made him a

better musician and person. “That was an eye-opener, to say the least,” he says. “I’d done everything before, not obliterated, but always under the influence of alcohol. And though I didn’t want a huge theme of the album to be about being sober and going through that, it is a story to tell. It is who I am now. I had to learn how to not go to the alcohol to get away from problems or deal with miscommunications between anybody in the band and myself. That was a year and a half ago that I decided that, and I can say I’m a completely different person. More focused. It saved my life.” Wojtkiewicz says two tracks on the CD, “Dry County” and “Bloodstone” were inspired by that journey. And while the group’s main influences such as Sevendust, Deftones and Nonpoint continue to inspire, he says the band tried to remain influence-free during the sessions. “We just kind of put blinders on and said what we wanted to say, instead of following a trend,” he says. “We’re trying to stick to what we want to do. The Avenged Sevenfolds are out there, and that’s them. We don’t want to really copy them. We want to make our own thing. We know if we jump on a trend that’s going now, by the time it actually gets recorded, mixed and mastered and put out there, it’s going to be last week’s style. So we try and just keep doing what we do.” Fans of the band will be able to hear exactly what they do on May 3 when the CD drops. Wojtkiewicz says he knows fans have been itchy for some new material, as the CD has been two years in the making. But he thinks they will be pleased. “People have been patient, so I hope the wait was a good payoff for them,” he says. “I hope it stands the test of what they think Absolution is, will be and what they wanted out of Absolution themselves as a fan. I would hope that everybody that’s been waiting this long is still going to be here to support what we’re doing and this next big phase for the band. We all really appreciate them sticking with us.” W

As with all of his prior work, Earle never sounds too much like Steve Earle is an artist whose Earle is retrospective in nature, country or too much like rock and most of the song lyrics are music has always been a little on “I’ll Never Get Out of This written as aging antagonist who difficult to classify, and his World Alive,” nor does he ever has grown weary of fighting but latest album, “I’ll Never Get try to. Instead, he once again Out of This World Alive,” is no still won’t concede. Considering opts to further develop his niche Earle’s age and the ups-andexception. While the twangy between the styles and draw fans downs of his personal life, guitars and slow, rolling tempo from both audiences who prefer this point of view seems very would lead many a casual their music with a populist slant appropriate — if not perfectly listener to label Earle’s music along with a healthy dose of obvious — and adds a degree as “country,” the addition of defiance. While Earle definitely of realism and credibility to his rock ’n’ roll rebellion and social music. The subjects that Earle sounds a little more mellow consciousness means that his and world-weary on this album, writes about in some of songs music has much more in common (such as “The Gulf of Mexico” he stays true to his roots and with the protest rock of the 1960s or “Little Emperor”) are very continues to use his music to than it does with the modern specific, while others (such as “I give a voice to everyday men and clean-and-polished Nashville women.

Sound of You and Me.” It’s an ideal opener paced by aggressive guitar and drum work. Although Sean Mackin’s violin isn’t heard until midway through the track, it’s well worth the wait. The band slows down for a huge build-up, and a classic Yellowcard breakdown — foot-stomping guitar bursts over grandiose violin — carries the song out. The record continues with a string of captivating songs. “For You, and Your Denial” and “With You Around,” which has the album’s best hook, can easily be compared to the band’s “Ocean Avenue” days. “Hang You Up” is a heartfelt tune that Yellowcard is an excellent pathway into the best part “When You’re Through Thinking, of the record. “Life of Leaving Home,” Say Yes.” “Hide” and “Soundtrack” are the three most impressive tracks. They seem to get W W W W stronger as each song progresses, and the instrumental intensity is at a high. Yellowcard’s chemistry and cohesion ultimately separates them from their peers and puts them at an elite level. To say this is the band’s best work would be a stretch, but that argument should be irrelevant. Yellowcard returned with Comebacks and expectations can be something new and old fans can enjoy, a tough thing to deal with. Yellowcard perfecting a sound that is uniquely their knows this all too well, disappearing after having great success and becoming own. This is the best record the band could make at this time; it highlights the just another band lost to obscurity — group’s past records, and is a great leaduntil now with “When You’re Through in to future releases..

Isbell’s brittle, introspective tendencies run amok in “Daisy Mae,” the cold sober tale of a woman trapped in an abusive Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit relationship; Isbell diffusing the lyrical “Here We Rest” tension through the line “this just isn’t your day.” Similarly, “Tour of Duty” W W W W 1/2 examines the quiet ambivalence of a war-ravaged soldier returning home to start his life again.

Regional rockers go 'Rock Band' By Noelle Vetrosky

hen you start a band, most dream of reaching genuine rock star status. A platinum album, a cross-country tour and maybe a few groupies along the way. Although not every band can say they have achieved this level of stardom, on local band can say they are on their way. Local rock band Ethereal Collapse just found out it is going to be featured on the ever popular video game “Rock Band,” and to celebrate are going all out with a performance at Bart & Urby’s in downtown Wilkes-Barre Saturday, April 30. The band’s music will now be available for download on the “Rock
Band” network, and they couldn’t be more excited about the news. “It seriously means the world,” said band member Kris Huber. “There’s no other way to put it. The band has been around for almost 10 years now, and we’ve always been searching for something to really get the launch that we need to start progressing the way we’ve been wanting to, and ‘Rock Band’ is perfect for that. There are a lot of bands that I’ve discovered because of games like ‘Rock Band’ and ’Guitar Hero,’ like Gallows and Evile and bands like that, and I hope being involved with something like this can help people do the same with us.” The addition to the “Rock Band” network came as a complete surprise to the band,
“There are a lot of bands that I’ve discovered because of games like ‘Rock Band’ and ’Guitar Hero,’ and I hope being involved with something like this can help people do the same with us.” Kris Huber of Ethereal Collapse
and they still don’t know who to thank for helping them receive this kind of industry recognition. “The charting company that is programming our songs for the game had an online forum where people could request bands to be added into the downloadable content for ‘Rock Band,’ and some member — who this person is I have no clue which is a shame because I owe them some thanks — suggested us,” Huber explained. “A few days later, I was contacted by the charting company to see if we were interested, and of course I jumped at the chance.” As soon as it heard the great news, the band decided there was only on thing left to do, so they are prepared to party. “When I had gotten all the news, I wanted to throw a party to celebrate. And what better way to celebrate than to do what we do best and put on a kick ass show for our fans!” Huber said. “And I wanted to keep it local because this is where we’re from, and we want to show that no matter what success we achieve as a band, we’re going to always know where we started and be proud of that. Not to mention Bart & Urby’s wings are awesome, and I wanted food there, too.” W

aking Back Sunday has been through a lot of ups and downs in its career. Now comprised of Adam Lazzara (vocals), John Nolan (vocals, lead guitar), Eddie Reyes (rhythm guitar), Shaun Cooper (bass) and Mark O’Connell (drums), it is set to release its first album with this lineup since 2002 on June 28. The band will headline the Bamboozle Festival in New Jersey this weekend — and play a warm-up show at the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg Thursday, April 28. Cooper checked in with the Weekender to catch up about the new record and how the band has been able to evolve into what it is today. WEEKENDER: Tell me about the new, self-titled record and how you feel now that it’s completed. COOPER: Well, we started writing songs a little over a year ago. We met in El Paso, Texas, for the first time in seven years. We just started talking and feeling each other out; we wanted to make sure this whole process would work. … At the end of the first day, we had about three new songs. Within a week, we had about nine new songs. To have that much productivity in that amount of time was something none of us experienced before. WEEKENDER: How does its sound compare to previous Taking Back Sunday records? COOPER: Well, it has defi-
nitely evolved. John and Adam are such amazing songwriters in their own right; separately they’re phenomenal, but together it’s even better. Their voices bring such an energy that hasn’t really been heard on a Taking Back Sunday record in a long time. You can hear it on “Where You Want to Be.” “Louder Now” is starts to get less and less, then “New Again” it wasn’t there at all. So this record is bringing that back to a level that hasn’t been topped before. WEEKENER: Why did you decide to depart the band in 2003? COOPER: To me personally, it was way too much success way too soon. My ideal goal was to have a record out somewhere. So after we did that, we were kind of thrown out on tour for two years, and I wasn’t expecting that. I was a young kid — when I left the band I was only 23 years old, and now I’m 30. All of us handled our success in different ways, but for the most part, we were drinking too much because we could. The access was just there backstage all time, there was always liquor or beer. And, of course, there was the fact you were living in a van for two years with four other guys. Of course later, we able to get to a bus, but it still doesn’t matter. It was still dealing with those same personalities and seeing where we all fit. I had no idea how to deal with that shit. WEEKENDER: What made this lineup want to get back together? COOPER: John and I were
doing a band called Straylight Run, and that was ending. We didn’t know what we were going to do. I thought I would have to get a job outside of the music industry. We knew it would be a struggle for both of us. Then Mark, who was still drumming for TBS and kept in close contact with me since I left, was hanging out with me during a Long Island snowstorm. He asked if I ever thought John and I would come back. My response was maybe for a 10 year anniversary thing. His was a simple, “No. I want my band back.” Immediately I thought that would be cool, but I wasn’t sure if John could/would be up for it or if the five of us could even work together again. At this time “New Again” was out, and it wasn’t doing much. Creatively, the band wasn’t on the same page, and everyone was unhappy with where the band was going, and they needed to shake things up. Soon enough, we all ended up in that room in Texas, and here we are. WEEKENDER: What goals do you have this time around with Taking Back Sunday? COOPER: It’s almost all of the same. I still can’t believe the five of us are working together. There is some sort of weird energy with the five of us combined. We’re better from working together. This record showcases that so much. We are all likeminded with success — we want as many people to hear our band as possible. And this time around, we all really like each other.

movie review
Christoph Waltz, Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon in a scene from ‘Water for Elephants,’ which is based on the novel by Sara Gruen.
Pleasant, but unremarkable ‘Elephant’
T
een dream Robert Pattinson trades in his fangs, glitter and literally undying love for a veterinary license, life under the big top world and a much larger love in “Water for Elephants.” Francis Lawrence, the man who helmed “I Am Legend” and “Constantine,” tries on a much different genre with “Water for Elephants.” Written by Sara Gruen, the story is based during the Great Depression and is presented as one long flashback from the memories of an older Jacob, a man that once stood on the doorstep of a dream only to have tragedy present him with another. Pattinson portrays Jacob, the exceedingly bright son of Polish immigrants who follows in his father’s footsteps by studying
veterinary science. A prestigious Cornell degree is within his grasp as he sits for the final exam, but life has other plans for the young man. Jacob’s parents are killed in a horrible car accident, and as if this blow is not enough, the young man learns that they re-mortgaged their home in order to pay for schooling. Without family or a home, the young man decides to run away and hops the first train he encounters, never realizing the impact this will have on the rest of his life. One can safely assume the current economic climate held some weight in presenting a Depression-era piece. One of the more poignant moments is during an exchange between Jacob and an almost villainously
cold bank representative regarding how he is going to lose the family’s home due to the his father’s foolishness in obtaining a mortgage for schooling. This heralds the film’s overall sentiment regarding the plight of the masses during the Depression and will surely resonate with today’s audiences. Jacob hops aboard a train car belonging to the Benzini Brothers Circus. A kindly older roustabout named Camel (Jim Norton) grabs the boy and offers him the opportunity to get work if he can pull his weight. Jacob agrees, and following a very tough day, is introduced to the show’s big dog. August (Christoph Waltz). August proves to be a sadist and informs his men to throw the young man
from the train. Jacob explains his use with animals and offers an opinion of one of the show’s horses. Following this diagnosis, August brings Jacob on as the circus’s vet and expects him to ready a new star attraction, Rosie the elephant. Unfortunately for Jacob, he is smitten by the company’s star and August’s wife, Marlena (Reese Witherspoon). Herself a runaway, she soon finds herself falling for the compassionate and caring young man, a man as completely different from her husband. The film is at its root a love triangle set against the backdrop of the Great Depression. However, the circus aspect differentiates it from other tales of forbidden love. Sadly, this alone is not enough to give the film any memorable
qualities. It languishes at times and becomes rather repetitive. The film would have benefited from a shorter running time that could have taken out some of these non-essential and completely blasé passages. At the end of the day, “Water for Elephants” is a very sweet, but forgettable film. It includes a fine cast with the two wellknown leads and several brilliant supporting actors including the always engaging Waltz (“Inglourious Basterds”) and the iconic Hal Holbrook. But as one already knows, fine acting can’t trump poor direction and writing even when it includes the greatest show on Earth.

Special to the Weekender
f Yellowcard is taking another trip down “Ocean Avenue” with the release of “When You’re Through Thinking, Say Yes” last month, the street has certainly changed a bit since 2003. “I don’t even know that a record release is as relevant as it used to be,” admitted lead singer Ryan Key. The frontman called in to “The Ralphie Radio Show” while on tour with All Time Low and Hey Monday in Tempe, Ariz. “People are buying digital singles and things like that and the way you can talk to your fans online, through Facebook and Twitter … it’s so much more in your hands.” Key was referring specifically to the delayed release of “Lights and Sounds.” The band hoped to release the record in ’05 and had launched a tour to support the album based on that. However, after Yellowcard hit the road, Capitol Records pushed back the date. Key cites this moment as one that not only soiled the band’s relationship with the label but killed the momentum built from the previous album, which went platinum in the states. Now in 2011, Yellowcard finds themselves back together, making music, performing live and fulfilling radio commitments. Now the “elder statesman” on the road (at least on this tour: YC just announced a June co-headlining trek with Good Charlotte), it’s Key who is sharing his war stories with bands like All Time Low about the joys and pains of recording on a major label. Meanwhile Key’s band has found new life, not just with a new LP, but with a new audience. “We don’t really get a chance to play for a lot of people who haven’t seen our band or heard our band before,” said Key. “This tour is a really great opportunity to do that because All Time Low and the other bands have younger fans. You know, their fans are the age that are fans were back in ’04, ’05 when our band was kind of taking off.” But despite the age, err, generation gap, Key still finds a highlight every night on
YELLOWCARD stage: Performing “Ocean Avenue.” “Especially on a tour like this, where that’s a really familiar song for a lot of people who never got to see a show or don’t have a record but they know that song,” Key explained. “That really brings the whole crowd together. It’s pretty amazing.” GAGA’S MANAGER FLIP-FLOPS, APPROVES WEIRD AL’S PARODY The New York Times reporter Dave Itzkoff broke the news last week that Lady Gaga’s manager (presumably Troy Carter) has flip-flopped on his initial decision to prohibit “Weird Al” Yankovic from releasing a parody of Gaga’s hit, “Born This Way.” Despite first telling Yankovic that the denial came straight from the singer herself, Gaga’s manager now alleges that he never played the song for his artist. After hearing the parody, entitled “Perform This Way,” it’s reported that Gaga is a fan, and Yankovic will be able to release it commercially both as a single and on his album. “Weird Al” will donate all proceeds from the single and music video to the Human Rights Campaign. The parody will serve as the lead track from Yankovic’s forthcoming LP, “Alpocalypse,” due out June 21. The song hit iTunes on Monday. There is a legal gray area as to whether the comedian even has to receive permission from artists when poking fun at their songs. However, “Weird Al” has only been denied the right to commercially release a song one other time in his career: Atlantic Records refused to allow him to sell a parody of James Blunt’s “You’re Beautiful” entitled, “You’re Pitiful.” W Listen to The Ralphie Radio Show weekdays from 7 p.m.-midnight on 97 BHT.

Elton John returned to the Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre Twp. Friday, April 22.
John shines a light on hits R E V I E W

ILKES-BARRE TWP. — A meek demeanor and demure attitude are not exactly attributes that could easily be associated with the legendary Sir Elton John, but during his sold-out “Greatest Hits Live” show Friday night at Mohegan Sun Arena, the 64-year old megastar proved he doesn’t need fireworks or smoke machines to put on a powerfully awe-inspiring show. By today’s standards, the stage setup would be considered bare bones, complete only with John, band members Nigel Olsson (drums), Davey Johnstone (guitar), Kim Bullard (keyboard), Bob Birch (bass) and John Mahon (percussion) and his talented back-up singers. But with a nearly five-decades-long career under his belt, the singer and piano player didn’t need much help
knocking the socks off everyone in attendance, and he and his band had no problem filling almost three solid hours with hit after hit. Greeted by an audience dotted with pink feather boas in a nod to his earlier days, John opened with one of the few tunes of the night that isn’t a permanent fixture on classic radio, “Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding.” The proceeding hits, “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting,” “Levon,” “Madman Across the Water” and “Tiny Dancer,” set the pace for the rest of the evening — the crowd was either dancing wildly or sitting, hypnotically awestruck by John’s piano skills and stunning vocals. A high-spirited “Philadelphia Freedom” was followed by the ever-popular “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” where John did something he admitted he rarely does: Invited the audience to sing along. And after engaging in a spirited chorus, attendees were treated to a sweet rendition of “Daniel,” followed by “Rocket Man,” during which John really
worked his magic with a breathtaking piano solo and jazzy ending that had the crowd on its feet for yet another hit to follow, “I Guess That’s Why They Call it the Blues.” Although he spoke little during the show, John proudly took the time to introduce a melange of new songs from his most recent collaboration with his self-described idol, Leon Russell, from the acclaimed album, “The Union.” John admitted that new songs during a concert can be more of a nuisance than a pleasure, but during “Hey Ahab,” “The Best Part of the Day,” “Gone to Shiloh,” “Monkey Suit” and “When Love is Dying,” the contagious beats drew in both diehard fans who already knew the words and newbies who didn’t know more than the fact that he had a song on “The Lion King” soundtrack. John and his band returned to firing off smash hits, breezing through “Sad Songs (Say So Much),” “Take Me to the Pilot” and “Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word.” An already subdued crowd was then taken to an even more emotional place with the moving chart-toppers, “Candle in the Wind” and “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me,” before experiencing a jaunty version of “Burn Down the Mission.” One of the highlights of the night was the powerhouse “Bennie and the Jets,” the undeniable force that got a previously mellowed-out crowd moving again and kept it going through “The Bitch is Back” and the finale, “Crocodile Rock.” The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer returned to the piano bench for an encore, but not before taking the time to dole out signatures to an adoring crush of fans in front of the stage, an unprecedented move for an artist at his level and an obvious sign of gratitude on John’s part. In what could be called a sweet tribute to his fans, he finished the melodically perfect evening with “Your Song” and gave a performance so striking, it’s no wonder his fans keep coming back for more.

“Bossypants” By Tina Fey WWWW
One good boss N
ot many people can say they made it to the top of their career by backstabbing a fellow YMCA employee or being forced to ask Sylvester Stallone to enunciate his words a little more, but Tina Fey can. In her wonderfully self-deprecating memoir, “Bossypants,” the Pennsylvania native shares these stories and many more, exhibiting a level of shameless candor that could only be attributed to years of embarrassing moments and improvisational acting classes. Today, Fey may be the doyenne of NBC comedy, but before that she was an awesomely nerdy 10 year-old who spent her days being haunted by a maxi-pad box she kept stashed in her closet. Told loosely in chronological order, “Bossypants” is the painfully, but hilariously, blunt recollection of Fey’s life to this point, from her days as a sweaty adolescent to her time spent writing sketches for “Saturday Night Live” (SNL), where, apparently, peeing in jars was a totally natural occurrence for male employees. Though the structure of the book is a little messy, it matches Fey’s personality perfectly: At
first, one isn’t quite sure how to take it, but in the end it turns out to be a sarcastically witty joy that begs to be liked by everyone. And Fey isn’t afraid to offer advice through her chronicles, either. While much of it is useless but for its comedic value, some of her nuggets of wisdom carry a vaguely feminist tone that, coming from one of the women who helped change the face of “SNL,” probably shouldn’t be ignored. Even though the book changes topics swiftly and abruptly (thankfully, the chapters don’t end with pop quizzes), the flow feels uninterrupted. This may be because Fey’s quirky and unassuming character traits make her seem like exactly the type of person who would rub shoulders with the likes of Will Ferrell one minute and rave about the bounties of a Christmas spent at a Holiday Inn in Williamsport, Pa., the next. Though Fey divulges some very interesting tidbits about “SNL” and “30 Rock,” a sitcom created and executive produced in part by the comedienne, the highlights of her escapades come from the depths of her childhood and her interpretation of the joys of motherhood. Regardless of her topic of choice, however, every page of “Bossypants” is injected with the signature dry and awkward humor Fey is known for. One would probably be hardpressed to find a publication that pokes fun at breastfeeding, Lorne Michaels and near-death experiences all in one place, but “Bossypants” does just that — and with great success. The woman who bears an eerily similar resemblance to Sarah Palin can make light of just about any situation, and she does so with an obviously neurotic undertone that makes her, and her book, simply endearing.

Wii (2) Hoo!! With likely 2012 summer launch of Wii 2, gamers in for a treat

ell, it’s been a long wait. I hope it was worth it. Nintendo has been an icon in the gaming industry for years, weathering decades of change and still managing innovation from time to time. I admit that I own and like the Wii. And apparently so do millions of others. Nintendo has dominated sales of video game consoles and sold 86 million Wiis since launching it in 2006. I have an Xbox360, but the Wii is way more appealing to
me if I want casual gaming. As a console system goes, it’s just way more approachable. And as far as simple games go, arguably more fun. Alas, the Wii just doesn’t cut it in the graphics department. On modern large-scale high definition screens, it just doesn’t stack up. I notice that the edges of objects are pixilated with the Wii — something that just doesn’t happen with an Xbox360 or PlayStation 3. And so after years at the back of the pack, Nintendo has finally announced the Wii 2. And it could hit shelves and gamers’ hands in the second half of 2012. According to the Associated Press, the Japanese company plans to show a playable model of the
ctronic new console at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, which ngeles. runs June 7-9 in Los Angeles. re Not many details were disclosed, but it looks as rful if it will be more powerful ation than the current generation on — of Xbox and Playstation ose as well it should be. Those erans console systems are veterans eded themselves. A much-needed rse full improvement is of course ngs have HD support — rumblings bilities been heard of 3D capabilities as well. Rounding out the upgrades grades are Blu-ray data storagee and a revised controller. None of this is unexpected, pected, and it makes me wonder er if Nintendo has more up its sleeve than it lets on. Time will tell. And that hat time is ticking.

have longer stage time, they also like to cover other bands, including Limp Bizkit and Tom Petty. He said that touring can be long and hard, but the band is passionate about its live show and that keeps them doing it, because they love to play live. And while being away from their “traditional” families is hard at times, as the band is usually touring for weeks at a time, the appreciation and loyalty of the fans helps get them through it. “I think being a writer and creating something and having people appreciate it is obviously the best reward,” Walst said. “We’ve had a lot of fans come up and be like, ‘This song saved my life.’ It’s pretty inspiring when you hear that. I think that’s what it’s all about right there.” While this is the first tour Three Days Grace has done with headliners Avenged Sevenfold, Walst said it is not the first time they have played at the Mohegan Sun Arena. He said it is a great venue to see a show, and the band is thankful for the support of the fans here. “Hopefully, you guys get a chance to come out to the show,” he said. “I know we’ve been to PA a lot, we’re pretty grateful to have fans that come out and rock. I think this tour is gonna do really good — it’s a great lineup.” W

istory in the making as we come to an end of an era: The final Concert for a Cause Wednesday, April 27 at the Woodlands in Plains Twp. It will be the last concert of its kind in Northeastern Pa., and there is an important task at hand: To hit the goal of $200,000, a respectable amount of money that has been divided among various charitable organizations throughout the years and has benefited agencies all over NEPA. It can be done this Wednesday, but only through the support of the community. This means you. Through cash donations at the event, the cover charge, the music memorabilia auction, and the purchase of the official Concert for a Cause CD, you can directly contribute to not only hitting the Concert for a Cause goal, but perhaps even beating it. And one other way you can see to it that it happens is, of course, through fashion. This year’s official Concert for a Cause T-shirt should be regarded differently. Although all of them represent CFC memorabilia, this year, its meaning is heightened. After all, it is the very last one. And quantities are limited. For a mere $5, you can be a part of history and own the very last concert T-shirt. Complete with the CFC logo on the front, as well as the date, venue and complete lineup of the bands performing on the back, the CFC T-shirt comes in small, medium, large, x-large and a very limited number of x-x-large. And here’s the best part: 100 percent of the proceeds from these shirts will be donated to Big Brothers/Big Sisters to support its antibullying programs.

WINETIME: WINE-INSPIRED CHOCOLATE BARS After I started taking a fitness class recently, I’ve been looking for ways to eat better, so when a press release for WineTime gourmet nutrition bars came across my desk, I couldn’t help but be intrigued. As we’ve heard for years, red wine has a some health benefits, and WineTime bars, developed by Malcolm and Sandy Nicholl of California, contain more Resveratrol than 50 glasses of red wine. Resveratrol is found in the skin of red grapes and other fruits and vegetables and is said to provide anti-aging, antioxidant and heart-protecting benefits. According to WineTime’s website, “Many researches believe that Resveratrol is primarily responsible for what’s called ‘The French Paradox,’ the observation that the people of France, in general, enjoy good cardiovascular health even though their diet is high in fat.” Available in two flavors — chocolate raspberry and dark chocolate with dates and almonds — WineTime bars contain seven extra “super fruits:” cranberry, noni, pomegranate, gogi berry, acai, mangosteen and blueberry. The bars are also high in fiber with 7 grams in the dark
chocolate version and 8 grams in the chocolate raspberry. They are completely vegan and gluten, dairy and cholesterol free and contain no trans fat, hydrogenated oils or high fructose corn syrup or artificial flavors, sweeteners, colors
or preservatives. Both versions ring in at 190 calories; the dark chocolate one has 9 grams of total fat while the chocolate raspberry has 8 grams. So without anything seemingly bad, which is usually what makes most not-so-goodfor-you foods taste good, how do WineTime bars actually taste? Really, really good. The chocolate raspberry smelled delicious and had a slight crunch with a rich chocolate taste and no overbearingly sweet raspberry tinge, while the dark chocolate, dates and almonds also smelled yummy and had the same chocolaty crunch as the chocolate raspberry bar plus ample bits of almonds and dates. They kept me full for a long time, which is always a good thing when it comes to nutrition and mealreplacement bars.
WineTime bars are available at winetimebar.com. A 10-bar pack costs $29.90 plus shipping while a 40-bar family pack is $89.70 plus shipping. There is also a 20-bar “WineTimers Club” package, which will ship 10 bars of both flavors every 30 days for $59.80. The company also provides wholesale orders for businesses. For more info, visit its website. SCHOOL TASTES GOOD The Geneva School will hold its seventh annual “Taste of the Valley” Thursday, April 28 from 5:30-8 p.m. at Fiorelli’s (1501 Main St., Peckville). The event features more than 20 local eateries like Atlantic Fabulous Foods and Fish, Down Home Rice Pudding, Fratelli’s, Kutsops Old World Market, Texas Roadhouse and more. There will also be a basket raffle and live and silent basket auctions. Advance tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for kids under 12; tickets at the door are $20. All proceeds benefit the school, the only classical Christian school in NEPA which provides advanced academic classes for students pre-K-eighth grade.

Go green by gifting green W
hen we think about living an eco-friendly lifestyle, we will green just about anything we can. So while we’re greening everything around us, we should also consider setting a good example for our friends and family. No one wants to come off too pushy or preachy, so the best way to turn a friend or family member onto living green is by giving green. With graduations and Mother’s Day — which is May 8, don’t forget — quickly approaching, it’s the perfect opportunity to start giving eco-friendly gifts. A few months ago, I was flipping through a magazine and found an incredible watch. Sprout watches are eco-friendly watches made from 80 percent biodegradable materials including: corn resin, organic cotton, bamboo, mineral crystal and mercury-free batteries. The company strives to make the most eco-friendly watch possible all while keeping them stylish and unique. There are many different styles to choose from, and since everyone could use a watch, I thought it would make a great gift! Check out the collection on their website: www.sproutwatches.com. There is of course the more traditional route you can take by getting someone flowers. But even the commercial flower industry takes its toll on the planet with the toxic chemicals used and excessive consumption of water and other natural resources used to grow. When it comes to flowers, you should buy locally grown and in-season bouquets in order to preserve the planet’s precious resources. Farmers’ markets always carry a variety of flowers that are in season and grown locally. There are also many different local florists in NEPA, so just give them a call and ask about organic and chemical-free flowers. If you have a fashionable Mom or a stylish friend grad-
Eco-friendly Sprout watches are made from 80 percent biodegradable materials. uating, consider getting them recycled jewelry or a vintage piece from a local boutique or thrift store. Every time you buy or wear vintage you are recycling! With “do-it-yourself ” fashion and sustainable threads on the rise, there are many local consignment and vintage shops to find a great gift. Etsy.com is perfect for finding just about anything, but it’s especially great to find vintage gifts. Another great gift idea is the recycled water bottle with a filter already in it. These are starting to pop up everywhere, but you want to make sure that it’s BPA-free and American made. The Hydros Bottle is one of my favorites because it funds sustainable water projects to help people gain access to clean water. Visit www.hydrosbottle.com to learn more. The Bobble water bottles are trying to eliminate the need for bottled water while keeping costs down. Made in America, the Bobble comes in different sizes and is made from recycled materials. You can find Bobble water bottles here in NEPA at Target, Macy’s and Bed, Bath and Beyond. These are just a few of the many great eco-friendly gift ideas out there. We make choices every day through our actions, so set a good example and hope that friends and family will follow. W

One of many things Justin needs to say he’s sorry for ... Black Student Union is no longer allowed to have a talent show. 14. Sorry I only earned 10 credits my first year of college. 15. Sorry I didn’t take college more seriously. 16. Sorry I made you pull over on the way to Thanksgiving dinner so I could throw up from partying the night before. 17. Sorry I occasionally spend my afternoons lying on Wikipedia. 18. Sorry I’m really tempted to pee in the kitchen sink right now. 19. Sorry I don’t always wash behind my ears. 20. Sorry I sometimes wish Billy Ray Cyrus was my dad so I could have an excuse for being such a hot mess. 21. Sorry I flew 3,000 miles to give Michael Lohan a Father of the Year Award. 22. Sorry I delayed my graduation date even further to be on a Japanese game show. 23. Sorry for any time I said “I hate you” in an argument. 24. Sorry that I didn’t graduate college yet. 25. My apologies if you don’t realize there is plenty more where that came from ... W Follow Justin on Twitter @sorrymomanddad & check out Facebook.com/ sorrymomanddad.

Owner:
Kevin Colfer of Catawissa “I’m actually the third generation to own (the car),” Colfer says of the Cutlass, which has been in his family since it was bought brand new in late 1961. “My grandfather bought it new, he passed it down to my father, who passed it down to me. I’ve been restoring it, hoping to pass it on to my son very soon. I’m hoping to turn the keys and the upkeep over to my son in December, exactly 50 years after my grandfather drove it off the lot.” W PAGE 53
s my 25th birthday is approaching this week, I can’t help but flinch at the thought of the 25 salutatory “birthday punches” coming my way. After some of the shit I’ve done, I can’t argue that I don’t deserve them. So, Mom and Dad, in honor of putting up with me for 25 years, I reverse the role of gift-giving on this occasion and present you with 25 apologizes that looking back may have been stupid, but seemed important at the time: 1. Sorry I used to pee in the kitchen sink growing up. Sometimes the long walk to the bathroom was a trek I wasn’t willing to bear. 2. Sorry I changed our answering machine greeting to something obscene when I was 14. 3. Sorry I forced you to talk to a producer of “The Dr. Phil Show” when I was 16 to convince them you were worried by my “attraction to eighty year old women.” I just wanted a free trip to Hollywood. So much for that falling through! 4. Sorry I told my algebra teacher you were dying, Dad. I needed a passing grade. 5. Sorry I disrespected a stripper on my 18th birthday. In my defense, she did talk too much about her spray tan. 6. Sorry I lied about the price of tuition so I could live like a rock star off student refund checks. 7. Sorry I sold my textbooks back to the campus bookstore to fund a trip to Vegas. 8. Sorry that I told Mom about that trip and not you, Dad. 9. Sorry I called you for bail money on your birthday, Dad. 10. Sorry I gave you the nickname “Menopause Monster,” Mom. 11. Sorry I dressed a midget as a condom. 12. Sorry I dressed up as JonBenet Ramsey one Halloween. 13. Sorry I am the reason the

The woes of working from home
I
There is another gastrointestinal reaction as well. We need not go there. A day working in solitary confinement can be somewhat lonely. I work in that curious world known as “online” so I rarely even talk to real people on the phone. Not that I get starved for human conversation. Not at all. Just ask “Tom” the survey taker who had the misfortune of getting me to participate in a survey about … well, it was a survey. About something I am sure. We got to talking, “Tom” and I. We really had a good conversation. He was in Rochester, N.Y. Just finished college. 25 years old, Tom is. Has a niece, he thinks, in Scranton. It’s warmer in Rochester than in Dallas. How about them “Yankees?” I bet his supervisor was thrilled when he heard that conversation recorded for quality assurance and training. And to think I used to hang up on telemarketers. A delivery or repairman is a welcome distraction as well. What does it say that I know the sound of the mail truck? That I can usually get down to the mailbox in time to chat with the mailperson. What part of this is making you think this poor man needs a life? Speaking of conversations I have more than a few with a stuffed animal named “Figment” who sits near my keyboard. I often talk over life’s challenges with “Figgie.” He is what I consider a good listener. Not much in the response department, but you take what you can get. His hygiene is better than mine as well. He never belches. But it was a nice lunch, and I hope to do it again real soon. I think the waitress will forget what I look like in six months or so. Maybe.

had lunch with someone the other day. In a real restaurant that doesn’t feature a clown on the menu. Actual metal utensils. Lunch away from students and the Rising Ranch is a rarity these days. I get to do it once in a blue moon and that is usually with the long-suffering wife. Which is a joy, but not the same experience at all because at this stage in our relationship, we can order for each other. In fact, the waitresses can order for us. Not to say we are stuck in a rut. Not a deep one anyway. Breaking bread with someone different is a whole different kettle of fish. Working from the house (Home Office if the IRS is reading this), you develop certain patterns of behavior. Not all of them lend themselves to polite company. Wearing clothes without holes. Wearing clothes that have been recently washed. Wearing clothes at all. Personal hygiene suffers a bit when you know the only thing that will observe you today will be a computer screen. The new ones are not even reflective, so often the first glance you get in a mirror is like looking at a clown’s face. You tend to get a little startled. Who is that? Who combed my hair anyway, squirrels? What is that on my chin? Manners are a bit different in the solitary mode as well. Much of my day is spent chasing deadlines, so I can be very rushed at times. Meals are consumed with less-than-Emily-Post etiquette standards, if you call eating directly from the cooking vessel a standard of any sort. Plus, since I am in a hurry, I eat fast and this causes a gastro-intestinal reaction known as “gas” which manifests itself in what Emily would have called eructation if she didn’t drop dead at the very idea of it. I belch. Loudly and with length. I can and have recited the alphabet during one. I am pretty sure that this behavior would not go over in a restaurant. Especially the ones that rattle the windows.

If steel horses were wishes
ay 8th is Mother’s Day. Every mother wishes for a healthy and happy child. Those wishes don’t always come true. Sometimes very young children are hit with diseases and injuries that would level any adult. Many of them don’t understand why they are sick or how to get better. One thing that they know they can count on is the magic of a wish. This year, Sheriff John Gilligan and his staff of stalwart deputies have decided that they want to be part of that magic. After seeing a story on one of our local news stations about another Sheriff’s department, the group of Jim Halford, Mike Patterson and Donald Lasoski took the idea of a motorcycle run for the Make-A-Wish Foundation to the sheriff to see what he thought and after a vote, the idea was passed. On Saturday, May 7, you can join with the Sheriff’s Office for a steel-horse run and after-ride party that will let you, too, become part of the magic for some young Luzerne County child. Stephanie Pugliese, manager of special events for the Make-aWish Foundation (MAWF) said that, “All the money goes to the main foundation, and we would like to give it to a Luzerne County child.” She added that, “it takes $3,400 to fund one wish for a child. Since 1987, 312 Luzerne County children’s wishes have been fulfilled, and at this time we have four wishes pending.” “We are hoping that we can fund all four waiting children, but we’re shooting for at least two,” Gilligan said. They can reach that goal with the help of all those bikers who give something just about every weekend. Registration for the ride is from 8-11 a.m. in the Mohegan Sun Arena parking lot (not the casino, the arena!). Kickstands go up promptly at 11:30 a.m. for a 50-mile ride through the Pennsylvania countryside escorted by the Sherriff’s Office and many
The Luzerne County Sheriff’s Office will help out at a ride for Make-A-Wish May 7. From Abuse Orders), to report municipal police departments as well as the State Police.

Halford explained that right “The Sheriff’s Office wants to now they have Lt. Joyce who start doing more community outreach projects, along the lines goes out to the 4th graders in the of community policing,” Halford area and talks to them about drugs, bullying and things like said about the ride. “Currently, we run the Junior Deputy project that as part of the Junior Deputy Program.

So ““I think this (Make-a-Wish) is a great cause, anything to help come out to the after party if you don’t have a bike or want to just those kids out, they are really help out. suffering,” Halford said. A little bit about the MAWF To see the genuine concern for from its website: “The Make-Athese kids in this tough-as-nails Wish Foundation was founded in officer’s eyes made it easy to 1980 in Phoenix, Arizona. A write this story. Everyone at the small group of people there Sheriff’s Office, including the Motorcycle Unit, will be there to helped a very ill little boy achieve his wish — to be a state make this day a special one for trooper for a day. From that one some local kids and hopefully wish made 29 years ago, more begin a trend that will follow than 161,000 wishes have been with many more events like this granted throughout 65 chapters one. in the United States and in 33 I asked the sheriffs why do this kind of outreach? Other than countries around the world.” And so the story continues the the obvious caring for the kids of our county who are in need, Carl first wish was for a young boy to Zawatski and Gilligan explained: be a State Trooper for a day, and on May 7, you can help the “Overall, you seem to get more Sheriff’s Office make a wish or cooperation from the citizens two come true for a Luzerne who know you.

Weekender Correspondent TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Imagine if you were limited to only 10 foods for the rest of your life. Not only would you have trouble remaining healthy and fit on such a diet, you’d surely get bored and sick of them pretty quickly, no matter how much you loved them at first. That’s true of all the things you adore right now. Don’t wear them out! Put that beloved song on repeat, and you’ll never want to hear it again next month. Spread the love to make it last. Mix things up. You want to want this stuff (or that person) a year or 10 years from now? You know what to do. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Rationally, you should be able to recognize that what’s important to you isn’t necessarily all that critical or even interesting to those around you. Sure, you can twist someone’s arm to participate anyway. But imagine how it would feel to let them off the hook — then consider doing it. Of course, if you do make the offer, really mean it, don’t use it as some kind of loyalty test. If you tell them they can skip out, don’t get pissed if they happily do so. They probably will! If that’s not OK, don’t pretend for even a second that it is. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) No one holds a grudge like a slighted Crab. But consider what you actually get out of hanging on to those negative feelings: Generally, nothing. In the meantime, it makes you unpleasant to be around, and hard to live inside your own head. Rationally, realize that letting go of that shit, while extremely challenging, is the only healthy path to an overall happier place. That doesn’t mean you need to forgive those who wronged you, or pretend nothing happened, but nursing resentment will only make everyone around you uncomfortable. See if you can just take them off your radar instead.
times, people will lie, but that’s not likely to be the case this week. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Be a creative communicator this week. Imagine two people have the same message, but one simply “states the facts,” while the other gets the point across and makes people laugh, too. Who do you think will enjoy not only a better reception, but a more attentive audience? You don’t need to be a comedian. But try to think of ways to convey your thoughts and also add joy or fun to someone’s day. You’ll not only be more effective, but also get better results from relatively little effort on your part. You don’t have to try hard (which would probably backfire); you just have to try. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Every scenario has its price of admission. Whether it’s a relationship, a job or even a fun time with friends, there will probably be things that you’re not crazy about, but have to put up with in order to be there. Your duty this week is to figure out, as quickly as possible, exactly what the price of admission is and whether or not you’re willing to “pay” it, so you can spare everyone the hassle and annoyance of a lot of wasted time and effort. This isn’t always clear as a sign posted at the door, but you should be able to figure out what’s up pretty quickly nevertheless; when in doubt, just ask. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Coercing someone (through whatever means) to do as you wish is a dangerous
business. If your influence or hold over them is powerful enough to get them to do whatever it is they’re reluctant to do, it might be potent enough to compel them to take other action instead — action you might not like. Forcing someone’s hand is a risky business in a card game; it’s even more so in life. As exciting as it is, it’s not always your best option; in this case, it’s probably completely unnecessary. Therefore, try a less dramatic course. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Occasionally, your decision isn’t about whether or not to tell the truth (generally, if you’re a reasonably evolved Sagittarian, you’re honest to a fault), but how much truth to tell. Sometimes there are things you know that aren’t your responsibility or even right to share. This is a tricky moral call to make, and I expect you to struggle with it a little. It’s not always a clear-cut line. Do you tell a stranger that her husband is cheating on her? Do you let the buyers of your home know they’re paying too much? While lying is never going to feel good, sometimes the best and smartest thing you can do is simply keeping your mouth shut and minding your own business. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Loyalty is a no-brainer for a Leo or Scorpio. Capricorns, though, can sometimes get confused about what they owe the people they love. Would you, for example, give a flaky friend an excellent job reference, even if you wouldn’t actually hire them yourself? That’s loyalty, however, some Capricorns might think they owe
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Once you’ve said and heard everything that needs to be said, there’s no point in continuing the discussion. However, some people will be only too happy to go round and round in circles forever if you let them. Don’t. Walk away. In time, the words will either sink in, or something else will change, and another exchange might have fruitful results. That’s not likely right now. It may feel a bit harsh, but if you’re certain nothing’s about to shift, it’s actually a kindness to cut things off. They’re not going to, so that’s now your job. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) It doesn’t matter what you’re looking for: Love, a job, a new place to live. Here’s the problem with casting a wide net: You often get a “yes” before your top choice has weighed in, and are forced to choose between that pretty good bird in the hand and the awesome one still waiting in the bush, which may fly away before you catch it. Since you Pisces despise having to make decisions like these (and will often end up losing both opportunities through your indecision), I don’t think the wide net strategy is a good one. Instead, you should be baiting your hook and fishing where you’re most likely to catch that one fish you really want. You may never get it, it’s true — but you’ll never know unless you try. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) If you got a birthday gift you didn’t like, it’d be pretty darn arrogant and ridiculous to go to the giver and demand something “better.” Even if this week’s situation is much less obvious than that, the basic mechanic is similar, and making entitled demands would be just as petty and selfish. Therefore, don’t. Accept what’s given in the spirit with which it’s given, even if it’s “not enough,” different from or inferior to what you were expecting. Oh, and for goodness’ sake, please remember to be grateful, or at least act as if you are. W To contact Caeriel send mail to sign.language.astrology@gmail.com.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) If, for some unknown reason you woke up tomorrow a redhead, a different race or the opposite gender, you’d be a medical anomaly — but you’d still be yourself. People would perceive you differently, and you’d perceive yourself differently, but you’d still be you. Wouldn’t you want people to believe that you’re who you say you are, despite what they perceive you to be, based entirely on your looks? When someone tells you about themselves, try to take them at their word, even if it conflicts with what you’d guessed. Some-

the perfect strangers on the other end of the phone line more than their flawed but well-known buddy. That’s a little backwards. That doesn’t mean you need throw all ethical considerations out the window; just make sure you’re cutting your friends as much slack as possible, and coming through for them in every way you can. Then you’ll have done your part.

Pierce Street
MOTORS Pierce Street Motors, is located at 543 Pierce Street in Kingston, Pennsylvania. They offer pre-owned vehicle sales, and automotive detailing at the best price in the valley. They have been in business for 10 years. Call them for an appointment at 570288-3000. Visit them on the web at www.piercestmotors.com, or on facebook at www.facebook.com/piercestreetmotors. W- Paul thanks for taking the time to do this with us, first off I want to know, how is business this year? P- Anytime John thanks. Business is pretty good this year, as far as vehicle sales, the pre-owned vehicle market is in high demand, and our vehicle detailing shop is staying very steady, especially this time of the year, after the long winter. W- Great! A simple question for you. Why buy a preowned vehicle from you? It’s obvious there are plenty of dealerships around? P - That is very true, but there are several reasons why we are your one stop for a pre-owned vehicle in the valley. First off, we only sell trades. Once the vehicle is traded, we follow a strict process before it goes on the lot. We service them completely, whatever they need, we do. Nothing is overlooked in service. Whether it is brakes, rotors, tires, timing belt, water pump or something as minor as ball joints, or sway bars, we do it! Then the vehicle gets fully reconditioned in our detailing shop before it is put for sale on the lot. The next, and most important thing we do, is price the car right. No games here, we are all about volume. What you see if what you pay.
P- Great question, all of our vehicles come with a 3 month 3,000
ADVERTISEMENT
Solid vehicles, no games mile warranty free of charge. It covers all your major powertrain components, such as all internal lubricated parts of the engine, and transmission, timing belt, water pump, and your drivetrain. The best part is we are fortunate enough to be able to offer extended service contracts for up to 4 years, or 48,000. Also, we have additional coverages to help protect your investment, such as road hazard protect, key replacement coverage, and gap insurance. We want to sell you a solid vehicle, that will last you for years upon years.
we are going to offer an exciting new service to our detail shop! We guarantee you we will beat and local competitors price on detailing, and our work is 100% satisfaction guaranteed.
W- Sounds good to me, I’ve been doing advertising with you for several years, how long have you been there? P- Yes you have, I have been here for 9 years. I started off in the detailing shop. Its a very great place to work, its almost like we are a family here, Rick, our detail shop manager, and Jen our sales-representative have also been here 9 years. I want to think of Pierce Street Motors as a local favorite for sales, and detailing. The majority of the clients I have sold vehicles to have come back to see me again, and again. We have detailing customers that come weekly for wash’s and several times a year for full detailing. Its a good feeling to have so many repeat customers. W- Well it’s nice to hear so many good things about your sales department, before we conclude tell me a little about the automotive detailing you offer? P- Our detail shop is simply spectacular. We charge $14.95 for a hand wash and vacuum, this includes a full wash, dry, cleaning of windows, and dressing the tires. This is completely by hand so there is no chance of scratching the vehicle. We also offer several packages, the most popular is the full detail, if you can see it we clean it! We use a unique 3 step buffing process, to make your car look as close to new as possible. We also offer headlight restoration, tint and odor removal, pinstriping, wetsanding, glass chip repair, and plenty more! On top of all this, later this spring

Dozens of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place trophies in every class sponsored by A&A Auto stores, more than 135 trophies up for grabs! The Sports Car Club of America will again be holding a SOLO II autocross/ drifting competition for racers and spectators. If interested in racing at the show, make sure to visit the SCCA website for important informa-
tion. Also features the Kiddie Rydes DB Challenge, a SPL stereo competition which will add more trophies to the mix. The guys from DROP ‘EM WEAR will have the official 11th anniversary Droptoberfest Tshirts for sale. A&A Auto stores will be present along with Auto Addictions, Jesse “The turtle and alligator guy,” the U.S. Army and its free rock-climbing wall, Jack Williams Auto Stores and many more retail and food vendors, plus the Quaker Steak & Lube Wing eating contest, carnival games to play, competitions to enter, live entertainment by DJ Kryptonite, and free prizes to take home! The girls will be out selling raffle tickets all day for our famous, sold-outevery-year, gigantic raffle. Confirmed show coverage will be announced on the website within the following weeks. Visit Kiddie Rydes or Droptoberfest on MySpace and Facebook for pictures of previous Droptoberfests. Lastly, Droptoberfest started as the area’s only outlet for lowered cars and trucks to compete against themselves, not against vehicles like classic, muscle, antique, and hot rod. Over the past 10 years, Droptoberfest has made such a name for itself, that it had to grow to accomodate these other categories of custom vehicles. So if you haven’t been by in a few years, try it again, you’ll be impressed by the balance of old and new, dropped and lifted, classic and modern, and race and cruisin’.

Don’t Call Any Auto Glass Company Until You Read This Public Service Message This public message is for customers buying glass...
STOP!
GETTING PREMIUM GLASS ON A RIGHT BUDGET WITH HASSLE? You have the choice between aftermarket or premium glass. AFTERMARKET GLASS: is a replica of the original part and it is not manufactured as durable as the premiumglass. It will not withstand an impact if a rock were to hit the glass. Premium glass roughly costs $20-$30 more.
PREMIUM GLASS: is manufactured by an OEM
manufacturer. It’s the same glass that comes right from the production line. Remember, glass companies install aftermarket glass to keep cost down and is not worth the savings. DON’T BE STEERED: Insurance companies contract with certain auto glass companies. As a policy holder you have the right to choose any glass facility you want. You do NOT have to use the company your agent referred you to. Treat this message like a coupon. Call an honest and reliable company and save instantly. Remember this, your family’s safety is our concern. Your windshield makes up between 40-70% of the structure of your vehicle. It’s purpose is to support the roof in a rollover collision.
