Letter from the editor
A
hh, ice cream, that glorious summery treat some of us could (and probably do) eat year round. When we were trying to decide what local ice cream shops to highlight for this week’s cover story, we went right to the source: Our readers. Sure, we know where we like to go, but we wanted to hear it from you. While we couldn’t cover every single place our readers suggested, the places you can read about on pages 28 and 30-31 kept coming up over and over. Some are just a few years old while others have been in business for decades, but all have pretty much one thing in common: To offer its patrons the best-tasting ice cream in the land. After visiting some of these establishments myself and hearing and reading about the ones staff writer Stephanie DeBalko went to, I’d have to say they all deserve that title. While I’m sure I could

rops of water produced from the sweating condensation of beer containers, caps from various brands of beer bottles and — if the bartender provides good service or masters the craft of flirting — a few dollar bills will all be left on the bar counter as evidence of an exchange between bartender and consumer. The watery ring left by the bottle will eventually dry, the dollar bills would be collected as a tip, and the bottle caps will be disposed and dismissed as useless waste. No one feels guilty for their lack of recycling bottle caps. You never see campaigns telling you that saving bottle caps will help make the world “greener.” Although accumulating bottle caps probably won’t prevent global warming, it’s being made evident that the collection of bottle caps can be utilized in a unique way. Kristina Klokus, a waitress at the River Grille in Plains Twp., is using bottle caps to enhance the look of the restaurant. She’s been working at the River Grille for three years and has always been something of an interior designer for the restaurant. “She’s been decorating this place, especially for holidays,” said Mark West, the owner of River Grille. Although, in this case, she isn’t inspired by any particular holiday, she is making a project out of the back wall of the restaurant with a mosaic-style mural that she has been working on since April. “I just felt the restaurant was always looking the same,” Klokus said. “I enjoy making the atmosphere exciting.” West wanted to give the back wall a makeover, and Klokus volunteered to provide it. “I was thinking of something unique and inexpensive,” she said. Klokus pitched her bottlecap idea to West, and he cosigned the project. “Mark said go for it, he

Kristina Klokus, a waitress at the River Grille in Plains Twp., is using bottle caps to create a mural at the restaurant. bought the supplies, and away I went,” she said. She works on the project when she has free time, but due to the time-consuming process of gluing small bottle caps together and her heavy work schedule, the progress has been moving at a slow pace. “The regular customers are constantly busting my chops to get a move on,” Klokus said. “People want to see the progress the wall is making.” So far, the image is a Corona-cap yellow sun surrounded by a gold border made up of Miller Light bottle caps. The sky that the sun intertwines with is an assembly of a healthy mix of grey and blue Coors bottle caps. “I never thought I would be able to save so many caps,” Klokus said. With the help of neighboring restaurants, she managed to collect and organize “thousands of caps,” and said that she, now, has more than enough to create whatever additions she plans to make to the mural. As far as the image goes, symbolization was an important factor towards the decision of creating a sun. Klokus wanted to create a representation of the restaurant’s character and, according to West, the sun is a main attraction at the River Grille. “We have the best sunset here every night,” West said. “Even in the winter.” He said that some customers come into the restaurant just to

see the sun submerge behind the trees that frame the Susquehanna River; therefore, West said the mural would be a complementing addition to that feature. Although the mural is still a work in progress, the progress alone is catching the attention of customers. Klokus said patrons respond to how laborious they imagine the process being. “They really appreciate something so time-consuming instead of just shapes on the wall.” Her recognition of the artistic value of the bottle caps, and her ability to create her desired hues with the limited brands she’s provided, has created what she deems to be her “Mona Lisa.” The customers admire the work effort, and Klokus is satisfied with the feedback. “I’m really proud of how much attention I get from it.”

‘BIG SNAKE’S’ COMPANY TOWN China’s sleepy Zisiqiao Village in Zhejiang province is actually headquarters for the country’s revered snake industry, with 160 families raising about 3 million serpents a year, mostly to harvest livers and gall bladders for soup, wine and other products consumed for their immunity-building properties. In a June Reuters dispatch, one farmer described the 25-year evolution of “Snake Town” from a place where farmers simply threw males and females together for breeding to today’s sophisticated production facilities that supply proper snake diets, research measures to enrich female fertility and provide enhanced incubation conditions. THE CONTINUING CRISIS -- Perhaps a kindergartner needs to have his dad wait with him and wave bye-bye as he steps onto the school bus in the morning, but Rain Price is a 10th grader (in American Fork, Utah), and his dad, Dale Price, nevertheless waves from the bus stop every morning, right in front of Rain’s friends. Furthermore, according to a June report by
Parkridge Medical Center in Chattanooga, Tenn., apologized and paid the bill in June for exhuming the body of the recently deceased Kenneth Manis. The man who had shared Mr. Manis’ hospital room during his final days had reported that his dentures were missing, and the hospital determined that they had been mistakenly buried with Mr. Manis.

years, successfully getting at least 500 girls to spit, among the estimated 4,000 he propositioned.
OOPS! -- Rescues: (1) A 93-year-old woman was rescued by medics in Philadelphia in April after spending several days stuck in her own toilet. (According to KYW-TV, she had to be carried out with a portion of the toilet still stuck tightly to her body.) (2) In Tooting, England, in May, an unnamed senior was rescued by firefighters after he got his testicles caught in a shower seat in which he was sitting while bathing.
UNDIGNIFIED DEATHS The Good Lord Willing: (1) Self-described anarchist Luciano Pitronello Schuffeneger was hospitalized and placed in a medically induced coma after a bomb he was planning for a Banco Santander bank in Santiago, Chile, exploded prematurely. He suffered third-degree burns and lost both hands and his eyesight, after accidentally tripping the bomb’s trigger before entering the bank. (2) Mr. Isabel Gutierrez, 53, died of a heart attack in Refugio County, Texas, in June, after taking a break during the act of raping a 77-year-old woman. He told his victim that he didn’t feel well, moved away from her and stopped breathing.
FETISHES ON PARADE Toshihiko Mizuno, 55, was arrested in Tokyo in June after three girls, ages 9 and 10, reported that he had talked them into spitting for him so that he could record it on video, to assist with “research” he was doing on “saliva.” Police later discovered 26 videotapes, featuring about 400 young girls spitting. According to local media sources, Mizuno has had the obsession for 17
LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS Not Ready for Prime Time: (1) Eric Cogan, 33, was arrested in Port St. Lucie, Fla., in June after (according to police) presenting a holdup note to a teller at a TD Bank. To get to the teller, Cogan walked right by a sheriff’s cruiser parked in front of the bank and a deputy in uniform seated inside the bank’s entrance. (2) In April, Matthew Hudleston, 33, pleaded guilty in Mobile, Ala., to robbing a Regions Bank, using a holdup note that mentioned a gun. He got away but was arrested after he returned a few minutes later to ask for the holdup note back.

KSL-TV in Salt Lake City, Dale makes it a point to be wearing a different, “crazy” costume every morning (170 in all for the school year, including, once, a wedding dress). -- Alleged gang members Barbara Lee, 45, and Marco Ibanez, 19, were arrested in Hallandale Beach, Fla., in April and charged in the assault and stabbing of four deaf people. Lee was at the Ocean’s Eleven Lounge one evening when she saw several people in a group make hand signs that she interpreted as disrespecting her own gang’s signs, and, according to police, left to recruit Ibanez to come administer retribution. Unknown to Lee or Ibanez, the group were deaf people using sign language and had no idea they were making “gang” signs.

42+ REASONS TO LOVE FATHER’S DAY Top Gun: Todd Whitehurst may be the “father” of from 42 to 60 children, based on statistical probability that recognizes his virtuosity as a sperm donor, according to a June New York Post profile (though one website, Donor Sibling Registry, claims to have documented 129 children sired by an unnamed seed demon, who is one of 92 highly productive men with 10 or more). Whitehurst, who like the others, was selected based on his sperm’s profile and speed, donated weekly for about three years in the late 1980s (for $50 a session), and has been contacted so far by nine teenagers who sent him their photos after piecing together evidence identifying him (despite sperm banks’ promises of confidentiality). Whitehurst, acknowledging the resemblances to his “offspring,” seems to find the relationships fulfilling, however limited they are. Said he, “I love Father’s Day.”

DISCOVERING SHABU-SHABU AT BAMBU At Bambu (639 Northern Boulevard, South Abington Twp.), something fresh and new awaits diners ready for a change. That change is shabu-shabu, which is Japanese fondue using a hot pot of clear broth boiled on a table-top glass range. In said pot goes whatever you’re hungry for — from noodles and an array of vegetables to meat, seafood or tofu — all cooked by you. “It’s fun, it’s D-I-Y,” said Michelle Lam, who owns Bambu with her husband, Vinny. The Lams also own Blu Wasabi in Dickson City and Kyoto in Clarks Summit. “(Shabu-shabu) is very popular in big cities.” Bambu was originally a noodle house, but switched its focus to shabu-shabu six months ago. “We really wanted to bring something contemporary and modern to the area,” Michelle said. Dish sampled seafood shabushabu, which included tilapia, scallops, clams, shrimp and squid. We also added spinach, tofu, cabbage, broccoli and longstemmed enoki mushrooms to the hot pot, which meshed perfectly with the fresh seafood. I definitely liked the concept of cooking my own meal (without the clean up that always follows
the company of your companions and, most importantly, the quality of the fresh ingredients. I also sampled some of Bambu’s tapas. My personal favorite was the sautéed sea bass, which had an amazing flavor and was served atop a bed of watercress and kicky-but-cool mango salsa. The rock shrimp with wasabi creamy sauce was incredible, as was the seared sirloin with soy ponzu sauce. The lightly fried portabella and asparagus fries, too, were delectable. The only downside about Bambu was that I had no room for the chocolate fondue, which came with two options. The first included strawberries, Asian pears, bananas, pineapple and apples while the second featured almonds, walnuts, potato chips, pound cake and marshmallows. Bambu truly offers a new way to dine that any food lover should check out, repeatedly, as I plan to. The restaurant, which is BYOB with no corkage fee, is open Tuesday-Sunday from 4:30-10 p.m. For more info, call 570.585.8068.

Summer sampler The Weekender visits some of NEPA’s favorite ice cream shops By Nikki M. Mascali & Stephanie DeBalko Weekender Editor & Staff Writer
In
1984, President Ronald Reagan declared July National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of the month National Ice Cream Day. In honor of such fantastic declarations, the Weekender dedicates this week’s cover story to local ice cream. And we know, NEPA, we know. Believe us, we wish we could cover
every single ice cream place that calls NEPA home because we love the treat just as much as you do, but there’s only so much room in the paper (and only so many holes in our belts) if we tried them all. Hopefully we’ve got your favorite place covered here, but if not, maybe a new one is waiting right around the corner for you … happy licking! See Ice Cream p.30

emember the good old days when you could get an ice cream cone delivered to your car by a girl on roller skates for a nickel? Neither do we, but if ever there a place where the feeling of reminiscence could overtake you, it’s Scoopers Ice Cream & Yogurt Shop in Sugarloaf. Based in the same complex as Stewart’s Root Beer Drive-In — which was founded in 1967 — and Cookie’s Cafe, Scoopers is known for its classic root beer floats and handmade ice cream cakes. “One of the most exciting things about that location is it’s very nostalgic,” said owner Mark Maylath, who originally purchased the establishment so he could continue selling his farm-fresh produce in one of its lots. “And the joy of the people coming when we first open in the season, and the excitement in the air, you can’t measure it.” Scoopers Ice Cream & Yogurt Shop: RR 93, Sugarloaf. 570.788.1883

or Paul Manning there was but one path in life: To run Manning Farm Dairy in Dalton, which has been in his family since 1920 and has five stores in Lackawanna County. Run by the third-generation farmer, his wife, Jean, and sons Brian, Ken and Kevin, the dairy provides dozens of flavors from its most-popular vanilla to Barnyard Gravy, with a fudge swirl and peanut butter-filled pretzels, which are all made from a homemade mix. “That’s what kind of differentiates us from other people who say they make homemade ice cream,” Manning said. “They may make it in their own freezer, but they’re buying a commercial mix from somebody else.” The dairy also provides milk, icecream pies, and in the future, homemade yogurt, made from Manning’s 85 cows, who eat corn and soybeans grown on the 400-plus bucolic acres that surround them. Manning Farm Dairy: Manning Road, Dalton; 210 Meadow Ave., Scranton; 409 N. Main Ave., Scranton; 702 N. Blakely St., Dunmore; 420 State St., Clarks Summit. 570.563.1702

here’s a secret behind the rich and creamy consistency of Back Mountain Creamery in Trucksville’s ice cream: The freezing process. You’d think that freezing would mean, well, frozen, but in the Creamery’s three-step process, it’s all about preserving the integrity of flavor. “We get it cold as quickly as possible,” owner Carl Peterlin said. “That keeps the water molecules from getting back together to form ice. It also intensifies the flavor.” From vanilla and chocolate to mango and bubblegum, which tastes so true you want to blow bubbles with it, every flavor is made on site, five gallons at a time. So how does the Creamery get their flavors so dead-on perfect? “That’s the magic,” Peterlin replied. In addition to its roster of yummy flavors, the Creamery offers dozens of mix-ins, which range from brownies and candy to its latest obsession: Cupcakes. Available in red velvet (the most popular), banana and carrot cake, these are mixed in on a zero-degree granite slab to ensure maximum chill. It’s up to you to enhance the flavor in a fresh-made waffle bowl … Back Mountain Creamery: 24 Carverton Road, Trucksville. 570.855.3487

t doesn’t matter what time of day it is, once the service windows open for the day at Curly Creme in Plains Twp., there’s always a line of eager customers. And for 11-year employee Nicole Patterson, there’s a specific reason for that line outside the 26-year-old establishment. “It’s because it’s the best ice cream in the area,” she said. Known for its featured soft-serve flavors — which will include lemon, mint, peanut butter and coffee in the coming weeks — Curly Creme also offers shakes, sundaes, ice-cream sandwiches and anything and everything in between. Options like that are what keep customers like Stephanie Walters of Plymouth coming back. “I like the different flavors, there’s always different options and the prices are low,” she said. “I’m here two to three times a week for my office.”

f you’re planning on hosting a party this summer — or during any season, for that matter — The Snack Shack in Wilkes-Barre is ready to bring the sweet life right to your doorstep. Candice Farrell, whose childhood fascination was to own an ice cream stand and who has owned the shop for the past six years, is ready to bring a build-your-own-sundae bar, with 15 to 21 toppings, to any party, whether it’s for 20 people or 1,000. And the revelry doesn’t stop there, because the shop is also offering a party room for those who would rather enjoy its Leiby’s ice cream and fat-free, sugarfree varieties onsite. “Ice cream makes people happy,” Farrell said. “When we deliver ice cream, or when we hand out a cone or a sundae, people are smiling, and I like that.”
he term “sustainability” has been buzzing around for a while, and though it doesn’t ordinarily conjure up images of handmade, uniquely delicious ice cream flavors, it does when it’s combined with The Lands at Hillside Farms. The dairy store on the farm is a haven for ice cream connoisseurs, as it is all produced — from cow to carton — onsite, and the masterminds behind the production process are often willing to experiment with new flavors, since they work in relatively small batches. “The funkiest flavor I’ve seen us make was coconut with pink peppercorn,” said Chet Mozloom, executive director, explaining that the dairy often works with restaurants to create exclusive flavors. The other selling point for The Lands at Hillside Farms is the 46 grass-fed cows that are currently producing milk. Every farmer can lovingly point out each cow by name, and though the process of taking “the girls,” as they’re called, out to pasture every day causes them to produce less milk, everyone at the dairy agrees that it’s a fair trade when you take into account the fact that it’s more natural for the cows and the environment. Or more “sustainable,” if you will. W

Warhol museum goes beyond its namesake By Jim Higgins
Weekender Wire Services
PITTSBURGH — Two special exhibits on view until August make it clear that the Andy Warhol Museum isn’t resting on its namesake’s legacy. Both “Mixed Signals: Artists Consider Masculinity in Sports” and “Contemporary Magic: A Tarot Deck Art Project” fit the spirit of the Warhol, a seven-story structure that also exhibits generous selections of Warhol’s art from throughout his career. (The artist was born in a Pittsburgh row house and graduated from Carnegie Institute of Technology, now Carnegie-Mellon University, before heading to fame and fortune in New York.) Situated on Pittsburgh’s North Shore, just over the Andy Warhol Bridge from downtown, the Warhol Museum is a short walk from Heinz Field, where the Pittsburgh Steelers play, and PNC Park, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Here’s hoping fans of the teams will take time to catch “Mixed Signals.” Curated by Christopher Bedford, this traveling exhibit with work from 17 artists strives, in the sports analyst’s vernacular, to break down stereotypes and assumptions about the masculine athlete. Hank Willis Thomas’ conceptual pieces all but accost the viewer, particularly “Scarred Chest” (2003). The
Nike swoosh is scarred on the brown chest of a male athlete nine times. This image will click instantly with anyone who thinks the shoe company has too much power in the sports world. In Thomas’ “Something to Stand on: The Third Leg” (2007), the red cutout figure of a basketball player soaring to jam the ball has a third leg, tied shoe and all, pointing toward the ground from his pelvic area. Meditate for a moment on what this might say about masculinity in sports. In Kori Newkirk’s “Closely Guarded” (2000), the nets of two basketball hoops, apparently at regulation height, have been extended all the way down to the floor with artificial hair and plastic pony beads. It made me think, appropriately or not, of how many players now have corn rows, hair extensions or braids. Catherine Opie’s photographs of high school football players, such as “Josh” (2007), show young males just learning how to confront or accept the cameras, and the gazes, that will follow them through their sports careers. This iteration of the traveling exhibit is an expanded version of an exhibit organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. It includes three photographs by Michael Halsband featuring Warhol and his friend

and occasional collaborator Jean-Michel Basquiat as boxers, replete with Everlast boxing gloves and trunks. These two guys make improbable pugilists. Yet both face the camera with deadpan seriousness, and in one image Warhol is improbably landing a shot to Basquiat’s face. The Rider-Waite tarot deck, the set of tarot cards most familiar to Americans, gains its visual power from the consistency of illustrator Pamela Colman Smith’s design, including the emblems of the four suits: wands, cups, swords and pentacles. For “Contemporary Magic,” Stacy Engman, curator of New York’s National Arts Club, blew that up. She commissioned 78 artists and fashion designers to each design one of the cards in a Tarot deck, without any requirement to reference each other. Shoe designer Christian Louboutin gives us a slinky model on the Nine of Cups surrounded by sky-high heels as well as cups. Yoshitomo Nara’s drawn Four of Swords presents a wide-eyed tyke brandishing one of the swords as if he or she knows how to use it. In addition to cognates of the cards in a standard poker deck, a tarot deck also includes the symbol-heavy 22 cards in the Major Arcana, such as The Fool, The Moon, Death and Temperance. Fittingly, Warhol himself turns up as the spooky Hanged Man card. In the Rider-Waite deck, The Hanged Man is a blond male hanging upside down by one foot from a T-shaped tree. In Engman’s exhibit and deck, The Hanged Man is a 1985 Patrick McMullan photo of the pale-haired Warhol, standing next to his “Invisible Sculpture” — turned upside down. “The card’s themes are archetypal of Warhol’s approach to unexpected and unique revelations,” curator Engman told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in an interview. The Warhol Museum store is selling large-format tarot decks made from the artworks for $45. W
Madonna on the set of ‘W.E.’
Madonna desperately seeks Oscar? By Rafer Guzman
Weekender Wire Services
H
ow seriously are we supposed to take Madonna as a film director? Possibly, very seriously indeed. Her new film, enigmatically titled “W.E.,” has been scheduled for release Dec. 9 by The Weinstein Company, placing it squarely in the middle of Oscar-contender season. Brothers Bob and Harvey Weinstein have a long history, and a good track record, of pushing Oscar-winning or Os-
car-nominated films in December. To name a few: “Shakespeare in Love” (which won seven Academy Awards), “The Reader” (Kate Winslet, Best Actress), “A Single Man” (Best Actor nominee Colin Firth), “The Fighter” (Supporting Actor awards for Christian Bale and Melissa Leo) and, of course, “The King’s Speech” (four Oscars, including Best Picture). The Weinsteins are often credited with inventing the Oscar campaign as we now know it. What’s more, Madonna’s film doesn’t appear to be a vanity project, like her abysmally reviewed 2008 directorial debut, “Filth and Wisdom,” which starred her friend Eugene Hutz of the band Gogol Bordello. Rather, “W.E.” appears to be a serious historical drama. It spans 60 years, contrasting a contemporary love story with the scandalous relationship between King Edward VIII and American divorcee Wallis Simpson (that relationship also figured into “The King’s Speech”). Madonna’s fairly impressive cast includes Abbie Cornish, Laurence Fox (“Gosford Park”) and Oscar Isaac (“Robin Hood”). “I’m incredibly excited about this movie, and I wanted to give it a prominent release date,” Harvey Weinstein, co-chairman of TWC, said in a statement. He’s so excited he apparently forgot about “Filth and Wisdom,” calling Madonna’s new movie “a stunning feature directorial debut.” W
Sheen set to be roasted
NEW YORK — There should be no shortage of material. Comedy Central said Tuesday that Charlie Sheen has agreed to be the subject of its next celebrity roast. It will be taped in Los Angeles and air on Sept. 19. That also happens to be the same night that Ashton Kutcher debuts as Sheen’s replacement in the CBS comedy “Two and a Half Men.” Sheen was thrown off the show after his hard partying forced a production shutdown. The two programs won’t compete directly. The Comedy Central roast is scheduled for 10 p.m., an hour after “Two and a Half Men.” Sheen says: “You could say I’ve been providing kindling for
this roast for a while. It’s time to light it up. It’s going to be epic.”

WHO IS... JEANNINE LUBY
WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, JULY 6, 2011
Who is... Jeannine Luby Scranton
J
eannine Luby has a lot of titles: Comedian, author, fundraiser and local community asset as she has worked with the Scranton Area Foundation in 2005 to develop the non-profit Humor Therapy Fund. Luby has been organizing fundraisers for the past six years to raise its funds to $5,000. “Within about a year, nonprofits in the greater Scranton area will be able to apply for grants from this fund,” Luby shared. “The criteria are (that) the requesting organization be nonprofit and their requested grant money be used to spread the healing power of humor and laughter to help their clients and/or the community.” Developing an event on May 1 to celebrate World Laughter Day, Luby invited members of the community to enjoy a day of free activities including laughter yoga, magic, storytelling, arts and crafts and more. Occupation: Owner of Laugh to Live, LLC, a business I started in 2006 to promote the healing power of laughter and humor to help people live healthier, happier lives. I lead energetic and uplifting presentations that feature interactive laughter yoga exercises, (these are gentle exercises that involve laughing for the health of it); I also perform standup and improv comedy and write. I published my first humor book “He’s Not Prince Charming When…” in 2010. The book has inspired my first comedy tour “Keep Wine-ing, He Might Start to Look Like Prince Charming” that will take place at wineries in NEPA, the Poconos, New Jersey and beyond. Community involvement: I have consistently donated Laugh to Live’s services to a variety of organizations in the past six years including the Boys and Girls Club of Scranton, seniors at the
PAGE 34
Owner, Laugh to Live, LLC PHOTOGRAPH BY RACHEL A. PUGH
Jewish Community Center in WilkesBarre, Lincoln Jackson Elementary School and many other groups. Hobbies: Running, enjoying the best of my hometown of Scranton (including attending my favorite event, Scranton’s First Friday Art Walk), visiting New York City, watching mindless Bravo TV; dining/drinking coffee outside every chance I get, people watching. Craziest thing you’ve ever done: Hmmm, I don’t really see myself as doing crazy things, but I have done a few daring things. The most daring thing I’ve done is to walk away from my full-time corporate job at Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania after 11 years to invest full time in my business. I recently completed the Warrior Dash, a 3.5-mile obstacle race which was marketed as “the craziest frickin’ day of your life.” That was pretty wild with mud, high walls, barbed wire, fire … all followed by beer. Next up is a half marathon. What did you want to be when you grew up? Would you believe that I wanted to be a writer and a comedian? I didn’t know I would do it but here I am. Favorite quote: It’s by my favorite painter Vincent van Gogh: “What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?” Favorite song: That keeps changing with popular music. I’m a big Lady Gaga fan, but I don’t know if I’ll be humming “Poker Face” or “The Edge of Glory” in five or 10 years. I love Madonna after all of these years, so maybe I will. The one song that is timeless for me is Samuel Barber’s “Adagio for Strings.” It’s a beautiful, haunting piece of music. If your best friend had to describe you, what would he/she say? My best friend would say that I’m funny, a bit neurotic, opinionated, loyal, dependable, straightforward, strong.

very now and then, you need an easy, light-hearted read that’s still got some substance. In her novel, “Ten Beach Road,” Wendy Wax nails that formula and manages to straddle the fine line between complicated and just plain sentimental, producing the perfect accompaniment to a beach chair and a bright blue sky. “Ten Beach Road” tells the story of three very different women, mother hen Madeline, glamorous Nicole and architectural genius Avery, who have bad judgment in common, all having lost most of their money as the result of investing in a Ponzi scheme run by the missing Malcolm Dyer (who also happens to be Nicole’s brother). The women are brought together by a shared asset, a mansion in Florida that needs some heavy refurbishing, and since all three are stone-cold broke, they decide to spend the summer sharing in the
work so they can sell and recoup some of their money. The premise sounds exaggerated, and the novel starts out that way, with Madeline’s world crumbling in every foreseeable form, but as the story progresses, Wax begins to unfold a tale of unlikely friendship and bonds that tugs at even the most pragmatic of readers. The way those bonds progress is, at times, predictable, but also deliciously fun, and with plot twists and some attractively painted male characters — who only slightly call to mind the cover of a Harlequin novel — Wax appeals to the most inherently feminine side of the reader. While the plot might fool one into thinking the book is just another in a long line of “chick lit” titles, Wax’s characters are what really take “Ten Beach Road” far beyond that. Before you even realize it, the personalities have grown and blossomed and their detailed descriptions cause them to have a presence that is usually difficult to achieve through written word. And it helps that the dialogue is down-to-earth and easy to relate to, especially for someone looking for a good old-fashioned escape. Sure, “Ten Beach Road” has Lifetime Movie Network potential. But it’s also got colorful characters, a few fun romances and witty dialogue with some unexpected twists that definitely make it worth a read. Wax has created a fictional world that’s easy to get lost in but is also easy to understand.

ALBUM REVIEWS Back to run the world
I
t’s been a while since we’ve heard from Beyonce. After carving out a place for herself as the queen of scorned, independent women with hits like “Irreplaceable,” “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” and her duet with Shakira, “Beautiful Liar,” the 29-year-old diva returns with her first studio album in almost three years, the aptly named “4,” maintaining that status and then some. “4” boasts the same bold, bombshell glamour for which Beyonce is known, but it does fizzle out in places. The opening ballad, “1+1,” leaves much to be desired with its cheesy lyrics and
awkward high notes, and “Party” which features rapper Andre 3000, is a little too ’80s retro (and not in a good way). Otherwise, the album coasts through, alternating between hard and soft beats and vocals, like on the fierce first single, “Run The World (Girls),” and the emotional “I Miss You.” The lyrics seem to follow the same path, switching with ease from lovesick to romantic without much rhyme or reason, and “End of Time” is a prime example of just how sappy the lyrics can be. Apparently, marriage has mellowed the former “dream girl.” The real standouts are the
classic r&b throwback “Love On Top,” the poignant “I Was Here” and “Best Thing I Never Had,” which is undeniably the “Irreplaceable” of 2011. Throughout the album, the usual digital, synthetic-sounding beats we’re used to with Beyonce are replaced by more authentic instrumentals, which nicely complement the passionate, sometimes rough-around-theedges vocals. With “4,” Beyonce seems to be back to claim her spot at the top of the chats, and with quite a few novel-sounding songs and much more mature, heartfelt vocals, there’s no doubt she will.
--Stephanie DeBalko Weekender Staff Writer
The lyrics to the entire album are just what one would expect: Straightup gospel. The opening track, also titled “Something Big,” is a typical hand-clapping gospel tune that blares the greatness of Jesus. On deck is “Something Bigger,” a song that is a bit faster paced and leans towards the reggae vibe. It’s all about living “big” for the Lord. Again, not too bad if you’re open to different styles. Near the middle of the album is “Walking,” a solid listen that incorporates gospel with turntable scratches. Near the end of the record Mary Mary is “Sitting With Me,” which has the “Something Big” group singing about the reality of being W W W alienated as a Christian in a song filled RATING: with good energy and flow that goes perfectly with the story being told.

sea of beautiful, young women line up wearing the fiercest outfit in their wardrobe and patiently wait their turn. Each set of legs belonging to them ends with a pair of strappy heels, stilettos or rock-star pumps. You may be imagining this is the line for entry at one of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s clubs, but you are mistaken. This is just the usual display of sass and beauty at an “America’s Next Top Model” casting call in NEPA. For the past four years, The CW WSWB and myFOXnepa.com have hosted these open casting calls at the Shoppes at Montage in Moosic. Interested candidates are invited to complete an application and attend these open auditions in our own backyard. The most recent “America’s Next Top Model” (ANTM) casting call was held in February and herded more than 120 applicants from the area. The call was open to women between the ages of 18-27 who are more than 5-foot 6-inches tall. (Disclaimer: The height requirement unfortunately cannot be met with the help of your strappy heels or rock-star pumps). The next casting call will be held Thursday, July 7 from 2-7 p.m. at the Shoppes. I was lucky enough to participate in one of these local “ANTM” casting calls. My duty, however, was not to “strut my stuff ” in front of the camera as a model hopeful, but instead be behind the scenes as an intern for the CW WSWB. It was my responsibility to write questions for the applicants’ on-camera interviews that would form their audition tape. The experience of interviewing the candidates was a truly fascinating one. There were
‘America’s Next Top Model’ winner Brittani Kline, above, poses with the show’s creator/host Tyra Banks. Kline is from Beech Creek, Pa., near Lock Haven. those who were visibly uncomfortable in front of the camera, those who were a little too comfortable, and those who seemed to possess the ability to cry on cue as a heart wrenching (and sometimes irrelevant) personal story snuck into one of their answers. All jibes aside, though, there were numerous girls auditioning who struck me as potential candidates I could certainly see on the show. The tasks that go into the audition process are simple enough, but each step contributes greatly to the overall impression the “Top Model” casting director will form for each applicant. Candidates first state their basic information on camera, and then showcase their best catwalk on the concrete “runway.” Close-up and profile shots follow, along with the opportunity to answer questions that, hopefully, exemplify the candidate’s personality. Questions can cover topics ranging from personal fashion opinions and vacation spots to the ultimate and most imperative question: “Why do you want to be ‘America’s

Next Top Model?’” The final step includes a deep breath and crossing of fingers while waiting to hear if the casting director is interested in seeing the hopeful’s audition tape to know more about them. So, it’s great that there are open-casting calls for this national show in our vicinity, but do the girls that audition in NEPA ever make it on the show? Cheryl Willis, promotions assistant for FOX 56/The CW WSWB, assured that there have been multiple instances of women in our area succeeding to further rounds of “ANTM.” “In the past, I had heard that a few girls had gotten call backs and made it to some other levels of the contest, but just this past season, on Cycle 16, Brittani Kline from Beech Creek made it to the finals,” Willis explained. “It turned out that she won ‘America’s Next Top Model.’” Nineteen-year-old Kline auditioned at the July 2010 casting call at the Shoppes, and proved successful in making the Top 14 before becoming “America’s Next Top Model” earlier this year. As the cycle winner, Kline will receive a modeling contract in addition to a multitude of other perks — and showing the show’s casting directors that local talent in NEPA can definitely be discovered on the show.

there with Gmail and YouTube and Google Search, and suddenly, Facebook may start to seem a lot less relevant. Who knows. Maybe it will flop. But I doubt it. It’s too sleek, too functional, too Google-ish not to work once it hits prime time. Does the world have enough room for Google and Facebook? Do you have enough time to handle both? Maybe the two will play nicely, forming interfaces and integration that makes one just as good as the other, but I tend to doubt it. They have far too many conflicting interests for that to happen.

A Leppard never loses its spots R E V I E W

Weekender Staff Writer
SCRANTON — The crowd may have started out a little skimpy, but that didn’t stop ’80s icons Def Leppard and Heart from rocking the socks off of Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain Wednesday, June 29 with “The Mirrorball Tour.” The show began with an unexpected twist when, in an unprecedented move, opening act Evan Watson brought out Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell to perform a tune with him during his three-song set. And things just kept rolling from there. Heart, fronted by knockout vocalist Ann Wilson, blazed through “Cook With Fire” and “Heartless,” stopping for a beat so Wilson could proclaim that a couple, decked out in Def Leppard and Heart shirts with their arms around each other “had it right.” The band covered all the huge hits, including “What About Love,” “These Dreams” and “Alone,” interjecting slightly lesser-known hits “WTF” and “You’re the Voice.” Finishing with “Crazy On You” and “Barracuda,” Heart returned for an encore, performing Led Zeppelin’s “What Is & What Should Never Be.” The entire set was one defined by effortless force, and guitarist
Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell. Nancy Wilson, with her multidimensional musical talent, proved that the long-past cliche of girl power is still alive and well. Def Leppard finally took the stage — which was overshadowed by a huge disco ball suspended from the ceiling — with “Undefeated,” and while that song seemed to promise only a lukewarm evening, the band
quickly got the fire burning with “Let’s Get Rocked,” “Animal” and “Let It Rock,” which ended with phenomenal vocals. After addressing the audience with his regally British voice, frontman Joe Elliott and his band launched right into “Foolin’” and “Love Bites,” and a bass solo — yes, bass solo — acted as an interlude before a very sexy version of the cover of David Essex’s “Rock On.” The entire band (except for drum impresario Rick Allen) moved to the front of the extended stage to perform acoustic versions of “Two Steps Behind” and “Bringin’ On the Heartbreak,” before which Elliott asked the energetic crowd, “How do you fancy joining the band for about seven or eight minutes?” Def Leppard rocketed through “Hysteria,” “Photograph,” where Elliott’s vocals were smoother than ever, and the radio anthem “Pour Some Sugar On Me,” before exiting, leaving the crowd begging for more. And the encore, “Rock Of Ages,” could not have been more appropriate, because after seeing this show, it’s pretty likely that any preconceived notions one might have had about Def Leppard’s strictly-’80s-hair-band status will be thrown out the window. Every single member of the band was at the top of his game the entire night, throwing out lengthy, ridiculously good solos like it was nothing and amping up the crowd through simple, pure rock ’n’ roll. Both Heart and, especially, Def Leppard brought more force to the performance than fans have seen from either one in awhile, and the bands definitely shocked the pants off of anyone who thought the show was simply going to be some ’80s rock stars just going through the motions.

server of the week
Pat Pisko
Cooper’s Seafood House in Scranton
P
at Pisko has been a server since high school and has worked at restaurants all over. But after 12 years at Cooper’s Seafood House in Scranton, Pat considers this establishment home. When asked what makes Cooper’s such a special place to work, Pat explains that it’s “the people I work with and the Coopers themselves. We all know each other and have seen each other’s kids grow up.” Pat’s daughter also works at Cooper’s during summer months and college breaks. With repeat customers frequently asking specifically for her, Pat elaborates on why customers keep coming back. “I think we’re a legend in Scranton. Hotels recommend us. People relate to the memorabilia on the walls. Working at Cooper’s is like working for family. I can’t imagine
doing anything else. If you love it, it shows. And it shows to the customers.” What do you like most about the service industry? The people. Favorite dish at Cooper’s: Coral Reef Linguine — shrimp, scallops and sweet clam sauce. We have the best seafood around. For dessert, Peanut butter pie! Funniest experience as a server: Once when my tray was really loaded up, I dropped a baked potato. It hit a lady in the back of the head and then slid down her back. Most memorable moment: I met Larry Holmes, who left a huge tip, the biggest tip I’ve ever had. When I was 16 and waiting in a diner in New Jersey, I waited on Muhammad Ali who told me, “Pat, don’t be a fool; stay in school.” W

The myth of being Amish By Jourdaine Middleton Weekender Intern
W
Raymond the Amish Comic will celebrate his 20th year of performing.
“There’s a legend of me that I grew tired of farming, and I just went off to the city and went crazy.”
Raymond the Amish Comic
myth among fans, which the comedian likes to encourage whether it’s on stage or a part of his oncoming web series “Among the English” that explains his life. “There’s a legend of me that I grew tired of farming, and I just went off to the city and went crazy,” Raymond said. “It’s kind of fun to let my audience connect the dots.” While the Amish theme may be considered a mockery to the traditional Amish communities, the villages are very quiet about Raymond’s depiction and performances. However, he did not fail to mention that he has seen groups of young Amish men sneak to his shows every other year. The comedian has tried to keep this on the “lowdown” with his audience rather than exploiting their attendances to the shows. Otherwise, it seems that the Amish pay no mind to him. “They’re too busy doing what they do to bother with me,” Raymond said. Penn’s Peak, one of Raymond’s favorite venues to perform at, has a lot planned behind the event. On top of
this being his anniversary show, Raymond’s excitement also involves the appearances by newcomer Jim Banko and New York comedian Jim Mendrinos, author of “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Comedy Writing.” As a self-proclaimed storyteller and babbler, Raymond has ensured that there will be new material — something that the comedian strives for with every performance. “I write all of the time. I love writing,” said Raymond. “I like to try to rewrite what I call some ‘golden oldies’ or punch them up or tweak them a little bit. There’s always a bunch of new stuff. I love the writing process … Everybody who goes up to see my show every year is going to get a ton of stuff that they’ve never heard before.” W Raymond the Amish Comic, Sat., July 9, 8 p.m., Penn’s Peak (325 Maury Rd, Jim Thorpe). $15 advanced, $20 day of.

hether he’s a characterization or just a man who left the Amish community, Raymond the Amish Comic has colored outside of the lines of the traditional lifestyle. With a wild stage presence and a lash of obscenities, it’s made apparent that Raymond does not tend the fields in the morning or take a horse-drawn buggy to his shows. Instead he answers phone calls and responds to e-mails with his “Amish iPhone,” Tweets about his daily activities and updates his Facebook regularly. Beginning with six months in radio before transitioning to standup comedy at 31, Raymond handles his own career and has been performing in front of laughing audiences for 20 years. His Saturday, July 9 show at Penn’s Peak in Jim Thorpe marks this two-decade anniversary. With the hardships of trying to survive in the world of comedy and after watching the dissipation of fellow comedians he started out with, 20 years of standup is a great feat for Raymond. Looking back at all of the years of doing his classic Amish act, Raymond expresses the enjoyment that he still draws out of the job. “I love it. I can’t imagine doing anything else,” he said during a telephone interview. “It’s a tough business … but it’s still way better than having a real job.” Show business isn’t easy no matter which category you choose to fall under, and Raymond has felt the heat of it. “You look at standup comedians and stuff, and you think that they make a lot of money,” said Raymond. “You find out they don’t, so that is a smack in the face.” During his performances, Raymond has spoken of leaving the Amish community and has had audience members scratch their heads over the undisclosed truth. His history has become nothing but a

movie review
Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts star in ‘Larry Crowne,’ the story of a down-on-his-luck displaced worker who goes back to school to try and catch a break.
Not a crowning achievement
“
Larry Crowne” is a feature-length reminder of how lucky we are to have Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks grace our humdrum, Hot Pocket-scarfing lives. We get to bask in Hanks’ smiley mug and earnest, “aw-shucks” charm. We are treated to Roberts’ mane of fiery locks and that bawdy, hearty laugh. According to director/ co-writer Hanks, in a world of talking robots and buff superheroes, nothing beats star power. Except a lack of common sense and human emotions. The absence of those qualities provides the foundation for an insulting, ire-inspiring film that reveals just how isolated Hanks is from the “real world” he portrays onscreen. Middle-aged Larry Crowne
(Hanks) works at a behemoth, Target-like store, where he is a model employee, voluntarily picking up trash in the parking lot and doing other thankless tasks with a smile. But Larry’s lack of a college degree makes him irrelevant at the store, whose upper management coldly dismisses him. Divorced and short on funds, Larry immediately searches for work, making phone calls and knocking on doors. Nothing happens. His neighbor (a surprisingly good Cedric the Entertainer) recommends community college. Larry signs up for a handful of classes, including a speech class with Mrs. Tainot, an annoyed, tart-tongued professor who nurses a perpetual hangover and a disdain for her job. That
Roberts plays this thoroughly unappealing character is why we’re supposed to like her, a request no sensible person can honor. She’s stuck in a loveless marriage. Larry is divorced. It’s inevitable that they’re going to be sharing a toothbrush at some point. Hanks’ reassuring script, written with Nia Vardalos (“My Big Fat Greek Wedding”), practically announces their union — and insults our intelligence in every possible way. In his path to educational enlightenment, everyone supports Larry: Professors, neighbors, even a stylish, sexy classmate (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) who happily renovates Larry’s house and wardrobe for no apparent reason. All this help is troubling because he does

KISS puckers up for Poconos “The ‘Sonic Boom’ W album was us hen concert venues began announcing their summer lineups earlier this year, one band that appeared on some of those lists was a pleasant surprise, particularly to its self-proclaimed “Army” of fans. KISS, which had toured throughout much of 2009 and 2010 and is in the midst of recording a new album, wasn’t expected to be on the road this year. And yet on the road they are, including a stop at the Mt. Laurel Pocono Mountains Performing Arts Center on Wednesday, July 13. KISS co-founder Paul Stanley, in an interview with the Weekender, says that at one point the band had conducted an online poll asking its fans where they’d like to see a show. And while it wasn’t always possible for the group to get to some of those places on the 2009-2010 tour, some of the stops on this summer’s road jaunt are now indeed in those regions. “There were cities that we just didn’t get to, and we felt an obligation to go there,” says Stanley. “Quite a few of the cities we’re hitting are not your major cities, but were cities we felt we owed a show.”
coming to terms and exploring who we are today as a band.”
Paul Stanley of KISS
Stanley says this is not the first time that KISS has briefly halted the recording of an album to return to the road. He says the band did the same thing circa 1975-76 while working on its classic “Destroyer” album. “We did ‘Destroyer’ in two segments,” he says. “We recorded quite a bit of it and took a break. We were still touring on ‘Alive,’ and then we went back and finished the album. Not to draw any parallels, but we have done it before.” Stanley says the new KISS album, which will be released in 2012, is in some ways a continuation of 2009’s “Sonic Boom,” as it will be the second studio recording featuring the

lineup of Stanley, bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons, guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer. This time, however, he says the band is on more solid footing. “The ‘Sonic Boom’ album was us coming to terms and exploring who we are today as a band,” he says. “Everything we do is based on our past, and it was really time to see how that would manifest itself in the studio. We’re proud of whom we’ve been and who we are, but it was a matter of, ‘OK. How does that translate to new songs? How does that translate to the sound and the vibe? ‘Sonic Boom’ was us, in a sense, on a path of discovery. This next album is not that, in a sense that we’re very clear and very sure of who we are.” With a catalog of music dating back 37 years, Stanley admits putting the set list together to accompany KISS’ dazzling stage show can be a challenge. “We’re kind of between a rock and a hard place,” he says. “Do we pepper the show with obscure songs to please a handful of rabid fans, or do you do a set list that pleases thousands? Clearly, we’re going the route to please the masses. If somebody doesn’t get to hear ‘Two Timer’ there’s a reason. Because if we put in ‘Two Timer’ we might have to take out ‘Shout It Out Loud.’” Stanley says that, for a road veteran like himself, he’s enjoyed playing in towns and at venues that are new to the band. “So far, five shows in, and five of the places, I’ve never been to,” he says. “It’s surprising. This is the tour that we spoke about. We’re going to a lot of places that wanted us to come, and we said we would, and we are.” W

Owner:
PAGE 66
Josh Dickson, Scranton “I wanted to take something ordinary and make it special,” Dickson said of the Sunfire that he bought in 2002. “I had the car repainted bright red. I always wanted a red car.” Dickson also replaced the hood with the double hood scoop, he made the area around the headlights more squared off and added the additional grillwork around the bottom of the car because he “always liked the look of that.” Other modifications included replacing both side mirrors to relocate the car’s turn signals there and installing a Boss stereo system and a DVD player. “I’m proud of taking the Sunfire and making it different from all the others you see on the roads. Hopefully I own this car for a long time,” Dickson said. W
veryone is aware that our environment is in a fragile state. Pollution in the ocean has been a major issue that not only affects the oceans, but is affecting the rest of Earth as well. Our oceans are facing imminent threat of mass extinction and need our help now. A recent report from the International Programme on the State of the Ocean (IPSO) was released and warned on the serious condition of our oceans. The report concluded that the world’s oceans are in more trouble than we had previously thought. “The findings are shocking,” said IPSO Scientific Director Alex Rogers. “As we considered the cumulative effect of what humankind does to the ocean, the implications become far worse than we had individually realized. This is a very serious situation demanding unequivocal action at every level.” The conclusions of the report were presented to the United Nations and were conducted by a group of marine experts and scientists from various backgrounds. The report states that the impact humans have had on the planet in recent centuries is most likely going to cause a mass marine extinction. If the oceans are facing such a threat, this would mean that the rest of the planet is in a lot of trouble. We depend on the ocean for 70 percent of Earth’s oxygen. They are also responsible for rain; if we didn’t have rain, we wouldn’t have food.
“This is a very serious situation demanding unequivocal action at every level.” IPSO Scientific Director Alex Rogers on the state of the world’s oceans
The report stated that overfishing is a large contribution to ocean threats. It would be easiest for governments to reverse overfishing to help regulate the problem. Fisheries should also be managed more responsibly in order to make sure they are only taking out fish they need and not doing any illegal trading. So what can we do to try and help this major problem? Individuals can switch to cleaner energy such as wind or solar power. Recycle and lower consumption of glass and plastic containers to help prevent plastic debris from being dumped into the ocean. If you do eat fish, make sure what you are eating is harvested in a sustainable way. The situation demands global action in order to reduce pollution. We have heard environmental threats before but hopefully this new report will change the minds of government officials so they can make it a point to begin to tackle this serious problem. W
Sights like this will become more common if we don’t start taking care of our oceans.

Don't stop believin'
ast year the house I was renting at school was in need of a new roof, and for that summer, so was I. Not in favor of staying at my parents’ house, I decided to apply at summer camps. A few weeks later I found myself as the newest staff member at an all-boy’s sleep-away camp in northern Minnesota. “I see you have some experience in the entertainment industry,” noticed the camp representative who hired me. “Would you be interested in instructing drama?” Though more interested in a roof over my head, I accepted the position. I assumed there would be a team of trained thespians I’d just assist. When I got there, I found out I was the only staff member in the drama department! “You may get lucky and get five or six kids to sign up for a three day block here and there,” explained the camp’s program director. “Or, if someone gets sunburned, we’ll put them in drama so they’ll be inside.” It looked as though I was about to spend my summer sweating inside with asthmatic Andy and klutzy Kevin, trying to inspire them to let their faded star shine. However, it was worse! The program office assigned a group of Russians who couldn’t speak English to my class.
This is when I realized things needed to change. Though I couldn’t blame a group of adolescent boys for opting to windsurf or shoot rifles over taking a drama class, I was still determined to find a way to make my activity cool. So, I decided to put on a camp show! “I’m casting for a camp show!” I announced after dinner one day to a group of uninterested faces. “The show is going to be ‘Billy Madison!’” That got everyone’s attention! One week later, a cast of 23 boys between the ages of 10-15 turned “Billy Madison — The Musical” into a camp show nobody will ever forget. As the show wrapped, one of the cooler kids took two steps forward to belt the closing song, Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin.’” As the entire camp joined in on the chorus, I realized this all happened because I didn’t stop believing in a lost cause. Drama became one of the most popular activities that summer, later presenting “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure” and “Chuck Norris, Are You My Father? — The Musical,” but that’s another story … W Watch Justin compete in “Dancing With The NEPA Stars” this Friday, July 8 at the Scranton Cultural Center.

By Caeriel Crestin
Weekender Correspondent CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) I’m glad you no longer feel you require approval from others to follow your heart’s desires. However, hiding your romantic or sexual interests because that approval (which, yes, you no longer need, but still want) won’t be forthcoming is a bad idea, almost as bad as desperately requiring their validation. Whether you meet their prudish or snobbish standards is irrelevant; you deserve to live how you want to live. If they don’t like it, they can suck it. Don’t tiptoe around their delicate porcelain sensibilities. Smash them to bits if you have to. Most importantly, though, just live your life. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Leos can be very selfish. This we know and accept about you. What you’re supposed to be learning isn’t shame about knowing what you want and pursuing your desires, but determining which ones you should go for, and which are best left alone and, hopefully, eventually, forgotten. Having an affair would be an example of one of these selfish desires whose pursuit would be a mistake, no matter how you twist and turn and rationalize it. Many other choices fall into the same category. Since one or more of these is likely to tempt you this week, remember my words and resist their allure. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Even when you think things are really bad, remember: They could always be worse. It’s tempting to complain and feel miserable about your circumstances (and I’m sure many in your boat do just that), but it’s also completely unproductive. Before you open your mouth to bitch about this or that, ask yourself whether moaning about your dissatisfaction will do any good. That is, actually catalyze change. If it won’t, shut up and focus your energies towards looking at the bright side of things — even if those only exist in contrast with other potentially worse situations you could end up in, otherwise.
ever, allowing your most tender feelings to live a little closer to the surface, where they can at least be seen, would be a good idea this week. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Everyone’s had the experience of someone else’s generosity turning out to be so much of a hassle that you wish they’d never bothered. This isn’t always about steel cable strings attached. Sometimes it’s just that ill-fitting handmade sweater or hideous knickknack you must subsequently force yourself to wear/display to prevent hurt feelings. What you’re giving doesn’t feel like a red and green Christmas pullover — to you — but it may still be perceived as such by the recipient. Since I know you don’t want to be that person (“Where’s that fertility statuette I gave you?”), make sure what you’re offering is truly wanted — before you go to the effort. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) People do change, just not often (or even usually) the way or using the timetable we’d prefer. Most real transformation (beyond training someone not to leave the toilet seat up) must come from within, and can only happen if the person deeply and truly wants it. Quitting smoking is a cinch if someone wholeheartedly wants to; it’s when they’re doing it because someone else wants them to, because they “should,” or for some arbitrary reason, that it becomes nearly impossible. You can’t force things like this to happen. Knowing that, it’s your call: Will you wait for them to choose the change you want, for themselves, learn to live with it, or split?
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) The thing about depression is that those who suffer it often feel isolated and alone. They will frequently rebuff offers of help, or try to make you feel stupid or rude for thinking they even need it. Of course, sometimes you might be acting too much the mother hen, but it’s your job to figure out if that’s the case, or if these are just ill-tuned defense mechanisms going off. If someone really could use the hand they’re so reluctant to take, it’s your job to figure out how to give it to them despite their own resistance. Be creative and kind here, please. That’s the only thing that’ll do the trick. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) There’s almost always a graceful way to deal with awkward or painful social situations; it’s just finding and executing it in a timely manner that’s difficult. Everyone’s gone to sleep kicking themselves over something they said that day, or wishing they’d been more polite, funny or kind. Finding the compassionate, humorous, or empowering way through these delicate scenarios is very difficult; nevertheless that’s the tricky challenge you must face this week. Your goal is to avoid any late night self-kicking. Easier said than done, I know. However, just stay present and pay attention and you shouldn’t have a problem. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Pisceans are not known for their unshakeable connections to reality. In fact, your loose grasp of the concept is the fuel for
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) When things aren’t going the way you’d hoped or planned, you only really have three recourses: Changing the situation to more closely resemble your desires, accepting what it is and letting go of those desires, or simply walking away, in hopes that you’ll find what you’re looking for, elsewhere. Only you can decide which of those is best here; however, I’m here to advise you to figure it out sooner, rather than later. The quicker you can make up your mind regarding what to do about your dissatisfaction, the better your resolution is likely to work out. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) When someone’s suffering and you can do something about it, you almost always have a duty to at least try to intervene, even if that’s awkward or difficult to do. It might be tempting to go about your intervention in a way that’s unlikely to succeed, just to get yourself off the hook, while relieving the pressures of your conscience. However, if your intention is truly to help relieve suffering, your job is to calculate the best way to effectively do so, with a minimum of consequences, not just go through the motions. That may require extraordinary effort or creative methods; here’s hoping you’re not too lazy to go there. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Marking your territory like a dog is hardly appropriate, yet you do need some clear way to delineate what’s yours, because people are crossing lines left and right. Instead of feeling besieged and helpless, you need to sit down (perhaps with some wise boundary-setter you know) and come up with some viable strategies for reclaiming some much-needed space that others have come to occupy and think of as their own. Avoid melodrama, anger or recriminations; at least half of their trespassing is your own fault. But do get the space back; you sorely need it.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) I’m an easy crier. I rarely weep in real life situations, but sit me in front of a sentimental commercial, and I’ll be reaching for a tissue before its 30 seconds are up. Instead of being embarrassed that my emotions are so easily tapped, I feel lucky. So many people have made themselves numb to the (sometimes painful) beauty of life; I feel confident that my way, if wetter, works better for me. Shedding tears so easily isn’t something I recommend; how-

your incredible intuition, inspiring creativity, and powerful empathy. However, it can also lead to some unhealthy patterns, particularly in relationships, where you can come to rely too much on the other person’s perspective, which is hardly unbiased. This is when you could really benefit from the advice of a third party whose only agenda is your (and possibly your relationship’s) happiness. Yes, that might mean you have to pay someone to play this role. No, going without is not a viable plan.

The roar heard 'round Bloomsburg By Noelle Vetrosky
Weekender Correspondent
I
t’ll be a car-crushing, dirt-kicking, drag-racing weekend as the A&A Auto Stores Summer 4Wheel Jamboree Nationals makes its 24th appearance at the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds July 8-10. This year’s event features more trucks, driver debuts and a fireworks spectacular. Off-roading and 4x4 activities dominate in NEPA, especially this time of year. This love of getting down and dirty with trucks or Jeeps makes it an ideal stop for the Jamboree, bringing in an estimated 55,000 spectators craving colossal trucks doing the sickest burnouts and side-by-side drag racing. To keep things fresh and fun, this year’s show is going the distance to bring even more excitement for fans with a 12-truck lineup and multiple performances of the General Tire Monster Truck Thunder Drags. “This year we’re featuring an 8-year-old monster truck driver named Kid K.J. in his monster truck Monster Bear,” said Jessica Hubley, media relations for the 4Wheel Jamboree Nationals. “We also have a few new monster trucks, including Chalkboard Chuck with a body made out of a chalkboard material so kids can sign their name or write Chuck words of encouragement before each race. And of course we always have the crowd favorite, monster

Tickets are valid for all show schedule activities. “We also work to bring new and exciting features to the event every year and also provide kids with VIP, up-close-and-personal access to all of our racers and monster truck drivers by making our pit area open to the general public all weekend long so kids can get autographs,” Hubley explained. Around 3,200 participants register their show trucks, Jeeps, and racing vehicles to compete in the various competitions. “This niche group of 4x4 and off-road enthusiasts come from every corner of the U.S. to enjoy the offroad ‘playground’ we provide at the Jamboree,” Hubley said. “The Bloomsburg
event draws from participants that attend other shows as well. The Jamboree is the only place in the country where these enthusiasts can play with and show off their custom 4x4 creations.” If your 4x4 vehicle isn’t as beastly as you’d prefer, the event can help you trick out your ride with a Performance Marketplace on site filled with aftermarket products and services and advice from the experts, which is like “a state fair midway for gear heads,” Hubley said. “It has the best new parts and accessories at rock-bottom prices and the experts explain how to get them installed.” The indoor A&A Auto Stores Performance Alley also returns this year, filled with more than 50 aftermarket performance vendors selling inventory on site at factory-direct pricing.

but then again ... By Jim Rising
Weekender Correspondent
Majestic bells of bolts
The majesty of thunder and lightning storms is something to enjoy.
PAGE 74
A
couple of nights before the Fourth, the chimes of freedom were flashing. Bob Dylan wrote “The Chimes of Freedom” in 1964 — 47 years ago. I was 10. I am certain I had no ideas about freedom or drawing comparisons to thunder and lightning and the concepts he was singing about. But I liked the song. I am even more certain now that I only barely have a grasp on what Dylan wrote about. But I still like the song. What I write here owes a lot to him. I love thunder and lightning storms. When I can watch them from a safe place, that is. Something majestic there is about that power. With a crash and a stroke of light, the power goes out, and then comes back on. I arise from my bed and tell the long-suffering wife the mission is to reset the sump pumps in the basement. We have been married a long time. She knows where I am really headed. I stand on our tiny porch. It doesn’t really protect me from the rain when the wind blows, but the night I wrote this column, the downpours stay on their side of the roof. I watch the eerie, stopmotion of light and dark,
the flashbulb glimpses of the place where I live life, love life and work to keep it safe and ours. I admit the “Majestic bells of bolts” made me cringe involuntarily. If the LSW was up, she would exhort me to come in to safety and not be an idiot. I am what I am. She slumbers through the pyrotechnics. Sometimes I wonder if what we see of real life isn’t just what is illuminated by zaps of clear light in between the darkness. It’s a life of quiet desperation mostly, isn’t it? The fine things, a good glass of wine, a smile of genuine delight from a youngster, coupled with the moments of abject terror about our own sure mortality followed closely by the realization that we are never more alive, than when we are close to death. And in the big scheme of things we are always a moment closer to death. Another brilliant flash and crash. I listened one last time, took one last look. It’s a lot to burden a weather phenomenon with, I think. The storm passes. I reset the sump pumps and return to bed. W

scooter girl
By Jayne Moore
Weekender Correspondent
Stephanie Jallen poses with a supporter’s bike that bears her personal motto, ‘It’s not can or can’t, it’s do or don’t.’
It's all about do or don't
T
Stephanie and her quest for gold that he painted her motto on his bike. This way everyone that ever rides behind him can see the logo and the motto that has driven Stephanie to victory. The logo shows a young girl flying down the slope and says, “Believe in yourself ” and “Determination.” Stephanie’s personal motto, which can be found on her website and on the bike paint job is, “It’s not can or can’t, it’s do or don’t.” This young girl sure does! In spades. Stephanie has been working since she was 9 years old to become a part of the U.S. Ski team and win Paralympic gold. And believe me, I know how hard she works and trains all year long to keep this dream alive. Last year, I did a story on Stephanie and her trainer, Ernie Baul from Danko’s American Fitness Gym in Plains Twp. I watched as Stephanie jumped on a BOSU ball and balanced kettle weights, then flew across the
PAGE 75
his year marks the fifth year of the Stephanie Jallen Paralympic Fund’s annual motorcycle run and picnic. I have been lucky enough to have covered this event for four of those years and have made some amazing friends along the way. Stephanie is, without a doubt, my all-time favorite superhero. She does indeed leap tall buildings in a single bound. This young superwoman has grown up before our very eyes and is now heading off to her dream. A dream every biker who has ridden in these runs has helped her to achieve. Wherever Stephanie goes, she leaves in her wake a crowd of amazed people who come to love her for her spirit, her unwillingness to quit and her can-do attitude. Her smile dazzles all those who come in contact with her and she has inspired many who have similar handicaps to succeed. One biker was so taken with
gym floor hopping through ladder rungs. She is as tireless as she is fearless. Her online blog tells about her excitement at receiving the phone call that notified her that she was finally part of the team. It reads: “The U.S. Ski team consists of three teams A, B, and C. The A and B teams are athletes that have points low enough to be world cup qualified racers. The C team is the development team. I am on the B team. Which means I will now travel with the best racers in the country with the best coaches. I will travel across the world with them now. I have been training and hoping for the last six years to become a part of this team to represent the United States of America in World Cups and the Paralympics.” Congratulations, Steph, you did it! Dreams really do come true, especially if you are willing to work hard, sacrifice a lot and never, ever say “can’t.” This year’s rain-or-shine ride takes place Sunday, July 10. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. at Diamond Manufacturing (243 W. 8th St., Wyoming). The cost is $15 for riders and $10 for passengers, which includes a meal ticket for each. The ride ends at the Holy Child Fairgrounds (Newport Street in Nanticoke), with live music from Cool Ride and Hidden Drive. If you don’t have a bike, you can join the fun for $5. For more information, visit stephaniejallen.org or call Bob Wineman at 570.510.5336. W
