Letter from the editor
I was a huge fan of “The Sopranos,” but mostly just seasons one through three. After the brilliance that was the “Pine Barrens” episode, for me, the show just seemed to lose its magic — and momentum. And don’t even get me started on the sixth season and the dull thud that was its final episode. I might even blame the show for making me hate “Don’t Stop Believin,’” a song I once loved (well, it’s either “The Sopranos” or “Glee,” actually, but let’s not point fingers too much). The reason I’m bringing up “The Sopranos,” four-plus years after that last, terrible episode, is because the story that’s at the heart of this week’s cover story, “The Altos,” is loosely based on the show. The cool thing about “The Altos” is that the audience gets to help solve the murder of Tony Alto … at least we know what happened to him! Intrigued? Read more on p. 14. Also in this week’s issue, we’ve got an interview with some guy named Alice Cooper
social
(p. 18), Green Piece tells us which celebrities are the greenest (p. 32), Style Files introduces you to a new NEPA boutique (p. 49) and Justin has big dreams to continue his “stardom” in Sorry Mom & Dad (p. 59). As always, thanks for reading! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a Journey song to get out of my head … Nikki M.

GOT BAD KIDS?
Lifetime is launching a new reality series, “America’s Supernanny,” which will be the first true U.S. version of the popular “Supernanny” series that debuted in the U.K. in 2004 coming stateside on ABC. The show will feature an “American homegrown nanny,” according to an e-mail from one of the show’s producers, who are now casting families to take part in the show. The search will bring the team
to Pennsylvania in the coming weeks, and unlike “American Idol” and similar shows, “America’s Supernanny” will not have an open casting call. “After pre-interviewing on the phone, we plan to go to each family’s home and meet them on camera for awhile,” said Chris Hazel, the show’s casting producer. “We film the whole family in their home environment, basically shooting a mini sample episode to present to the producers when we return to Los Angeles.” Interested families are encouraged to e-mail the casting team at chazel@shedmediaus.com and tell them why you need help along with a recent family photo. The team will then try to schedule the in-home interviews when it arrives in Pennsylvania. For more info on the show, visit mylifetime.com.
DOWNTOWN GETS A DRIVE-IN … SORT OF
Main Street Scranton, a project of Scranton Tomorrow, will present the “Drive In Downtown” outdoor movie serious on Courthouse Square on three Thursdays starting this week at 9 p.m. Featured movies are “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” (Aug. 18), “Rudy” (Aug. 25) and “Grease” (Sept. 8).

A ‘WEIRD’ CLASSIC FROM FEB. 2001 In November (2000), Mr. Auburn Mason, 62, was sentenced to four years in prison in England for a 1999 British Airways hijacking. He had grabbed a flight attendant, held scissors to her neck, and threatened to blow up the plane with the bomb he was holding, screaming “Take me to Gatwick (airport in London)!” At that point, the flight was 15 minutes away from its scheduled destination, which was Gatwick airport. (Minutes later, passengers disarmed Mason.)

KEEPING GIRLS ABREAST Berjuan Toys is already selling its Breast Milk Baby online ($70) and expects to have it in stores later this year. The doll works by the child-“mother” donning a halter top with flowers positioned as nipples, and when the baby comes into contact with the a flower, sensors mimic sucking sounds. Although dolls that demonstrate toileting functions are already on the market, breastfeeding activists are more enthusiastic about this one, hopeful that girls’ comfort with breastfeeding will result in decreased bottlefeeding later on. (Opponents have denounced the doll as forcing girls to “grow up” too soon and with choices too complicated for their age, which according to the manufacturer is as young as 3.)

CHUTZPAH! Even though Michigan schoolteacher Marcie Rousseau was sentenced in December to at least four years in prison for having sex with a high school boy in Saginaw and Midland counties, the episode is not over. Now, the “victim” has filed a lawsuit against Rousseau and school officials for what his lawyer described as “not consensual” sex. The unnamed, then-16-yearold admitted to at least 100 acts of sexual intercourse, and 75 “other” sex acts, and asks at least $1 million for “physical, psychological and emotional injury.” (To use the “minimum” numbers, that works out to at least $5,700 per sex act, and since $1 million is sought on each of the seven federal-law claims and three state-law claims, the best-case scenario regards each sex act as a $57,000 burden.) PLAN B Jonathan Schwartz called 911 in New York City in July to report that he had stabbed his mother to death. A few minutes later but before police arrived, Schwartz called back 911 to report a correc-
tion: “No, she committed suicide.” (The mother’s body was found with multiple stab wounds, and police, notwithstanding Schwartz’s “correction,” charged him with murder.) THE PERVO-AMERICAN COMMUNITY Jerry Prieto, 38, pleaded guilty in July in Benton County, Wash. (possession of methamphetamine and “malicious mischief with sexual motivation”), and was sentenced to 45 days in jail. Prieto had been arrested with the drugs in October 2010 in a stall at a highway rest stop. According to the prosecutor, Prieto had written sexual notes on the floor with a felt-tipped pen and drawn an arrow pointing directly to his stall. (As a condition of his sentence, Prieto is allowed in reststop bathrooms only for “traditional” purposes.) DIRTY NAMES IN THE NEWS Arrested (again) for prostitution (this time, Columbus, Ga., April; previously in News of the Weird, in Tampa, Fla., 2009), Ms. Suk Kim Ho, 46. Charged with conspiracy to commit child molestation (Woodstock, Ga., June), Mr. Patrick Molesti, 58. Arrested for lewdness for allegedly exposing himself (Howe Township, Pa., June), Mr. Handy H. Wood, 35 (not to be confused with the man arrested in Columbia, Mo., in July, on suspicion of the same thing, Mr. Willy Wood, 54). Charged with DUI in a crash into a library (Buffalo, N.Y., July), Mr. Jack Goff, 47.

THE CONTINUING CRISIS -- Frances Ragusa, 75, was back in court in Brooklyn in June claiming child support she said was never paid by husband Philip Ragusa, 77, in their divorce settlement of 33 years ago. (The “children,” of course, long ago became adults, but the $14,000 judgment has grown, with interest, to about $100,000.) Frances told the New York Post in July that she called Philip several months earlier to discuss the amount but that Philip merely began to cry. “Don’t let this case go to trial,” she recalled telling him. “(I)f you think I’m going to forget it, Phil, you’re stuck on stupid.” -- Carole Green was fined $1,000 in July by a court in Leavenworth County, Kan., for littering the property of the same Bonner Springs resident “most afternoons” for the past two years. Green apologized and said the charge was a complete surprise. She said when she starts
out in her SUV every day, and drinks a bottle of tea, it just happens that she finishes it at about the same spot on her journey — in front of Gary Bukaty’s property — and that’s where she tosses the bottle. She promised to stop. -- A Southampton (England) University researcher told an academic conference in Stockholm in July that his work, demonstrating that women who stop smoking even after becoming pregnant will have healthier babies, is important because he found that pregnant women rationalize continued smoking, in part to have smaller babies that will be less uncomfortable to deliver.

“It’s fun to be able to drop that wall. We can have fun with them, talk back to them. I think that’s what they like — from the time they walk in the door, they are part of it all.” Director Rob Misko on the interactive show,“The Altos”

not just sitting and staring at characters on stage for a few hours. “It’s fun to be able to drop that wall,” he said. “We can have fun with them, talk back to them. I think that’s what they like — from the time they walk in the door, they are part of it all.” Misko hopes that people continue to come to the shows and appreciate what community theater has to offer. He said that the upcoming production of “The Altos” will be a great night, complete with an Italianwith theater, and this was a great themed restaurant setting, way to do so and still contribute homemade Italian food, and of course, a great show. to his family’s business. The “We do 150 percent to give theater now performs an average the audience a night of fun and of six to seven different shows laughter and a way to forget each year, and Misko said it is about everything in their outside most known for being the first world,” he said. “For anybody non-professional, non-touring who wants to go out and have a theater group in the area to good time at a very economical obtain the license to perform price with friends, come out Dan Goggin’s hit “Nunsense.” But Misko said that it’s been and see us.

A whodunit to not fugetabout
Interactive comedy/murder mystery ‘The Altos’ comes to life at Corner Bistro By Marie Burrell Weekender Correspondent

e tend to like a good murder mystery — piecing together bits and pieces of clues, sorting out what’s real and what is just a red herring, trying to find out who did it. Never knowing what secrets lay just around the corner, wondering who, if anyone, is next. But we also like to laugh — a nice blend of comedic relief to lighten the mood and keep a smile on our faces. And that’s just what the Corner Bistro Dinner Theater in Carbondale is bringing to audiences as it presents David Landau’s “The Altos: Just Like the Sopranos ... Only Lower” beginning Thursday, Aug. 18 and running until Sunday, Aug. 21. “The Altos” director Rob Misko said it is a great interactive murder mystery/ comedy that really tries to get the audience involved, but not in a way that has them do anything
special or make them feel uncomfortable. “The author incorporates the audience, not so much where they have to do stuff, as many don’t like that, but he has them as being the children and as different characters within the plot,” he said. “So it’s neat because you only have seven main characters, but he bands the audience in to really include them.” Misko said “The Altos” is loosely based on the popular TV show, “The Sopranos,” and deals with the death of Tony Alto, the result of a hit put out on him by one of his own family members. The audience, who has come to pay its respects at the wake, has to figure out who ordered the hit on Tony. But Misko said that’s not the only thing the audience needs to keep in mind during the performance. “Within the script, there’s a whole list of TV and movie mafia titles in the lines,” he said. “So you have to pick them out
and see who gets the most by the end of the night.” Audience members will be given a pen and paper to keep track of any titles they pick up during the night, and the one with the most titles, as well as the one who figures out who ordered the hit, will win a ticket to another Corner Bistro performance during the season.
‘We realized people wanted us to stay’

hile the performance isn’t that large of a show, held in the main part of the restaurant instead of the normal theater section, Misko said it is a great way to keep the theater going, especially with the economy being as rough as it is. “We’ve been trying to do smaller stuff to kind of build back to what we were noted for, which is big musicals,” he said. Having opened toward the end of 1988, Misko said Corner Bistro was originally just a restaurant his family started, but they began to do dinner theaters later in 1989. He had always dreamed of working

but then again ... By Jim Rising

Passing 'judge'-ment
Former Luzerne County judge Mark Ciavarella leaves the Scranton courthouse earlier this year.
PAGE 16
I
hate to add to the tsunami of ink about the “Judged” Mark Ciavarella. Other, better scribes than myself have done it more justice. But I do have a few things that I think need to be underlined. Forgive me if I seem a little angry here. “I hate to gloat about the sentence ...,” my brother-in-law said to me the day the sentence was passed. “It’s not nice to gloat.” I don’t think that this frothy, effervescent, delicious feeling can really be called gloating. Christian courtesy tells us not to be happy about another’s misfortune. I guess once and for all I cannot be called as a Christian if I am not allowed to feel good about “scooch” (rhymes with pooch) spending whatever portion of his 28-year sentence he actually serves in discomfort. The main reason for my hopes for an unpleasant jail term for Judged Mark? Other than the fact that he caused so many others suffering in order to line his pockets? His unbelievable arrogance on the stand in reading the 2,702-word statement prior to his sentencing Thursday. I won’t dignify the Judged’s words by reprinting them in any significant portion here. You can find the entire nauseating text easily enough. I do suggest reading them on an empty stom-
ach, because you will not find them pleasant. They are like the squeals of a little boy, caught, but too childish to own up to his crimes. Early on in his repugnant denial, that he uttered on the stand in a court of law, the same type of court he made a mockery of, Judged Mark Ciavarella said: “Please do not accept what I am about to say as being ignorant, cocky, arrogant, or unrealistic.” The quotation “The lady doth protest too much, methinks,” comes from Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” Act III, scene II. The phrase has come to mean that one can “insist so passionately about something not being true that people suspect the opposite of what one is saying.” Judged Mark Ciavarella will have a long time, hopefully, to think about the true meanings of the words, ignorant, cocky and arrogant. As for unrealistic, I think there will be quite a lot of realism in the gray-bar hotel that he will find himself in. I hope so.

The eternal appeal of Alice Cooper By Bill Thomas
“The kind of music I play is eternal.”
Weekender Correspondent
Alice Cooper
A
t 63, shock-rock icon Alice Cooper has already lived a thousand lives and died a thousand deaths. Actually, “a thousand” is probably a gross underestimate. For decades, Cooper has traumatized audiences the world over with his Grand Guinolinspired onstage displays of dismemberment and decapitation. In that time, Cooper feels he’s gained some insight into the macabre mentality of his legion of fans. Call it “The Psychology of Shock,” if you like. “We all love thrills,” says Cooper via phone from his Arizona home. “When you get on a roller coaster, the highest, fastest, most scare-the-hell-outof-you roller coaster in the world, you go, ‘Oh man, I can’t wait to get on it.’ And then you go up that first big hill, getting higher and higher, and you go, ‘Oh crap, what did I do?’ “But, in the back of your mind, you know it’s going to bring you back safely. … It’s the same idea. You’re scared because you want to be scared, but

couple of kids getting together and forming a band may seem like a cliche that’s long since seen its expiration date, but for Scranton-bred Tigers Jaw, that cliche, plus a little hard work and a lot of talent, is exactly what set it on the path to success. Guitarist and vocalist Adam McIlwee, who checked in with the Weekender from Tampa, Fla. while on the band’s current tour, is nothing but modest about Tigers Jaw’s current status as a band on the verge, preferring to attribute its most recent success to a generous record company and more exposure in the form of touring with punk/ hardcore darling Title Fight. “I don’t think we have hit it
big,” McIlwee said. “We’re still doing what we had been doing years ago.” The aforementioned current tour will wrap up in WilkesBarre at the Redwood Art Space on Saturday, Aug. 20; the bill also includes White Wives, Kite Party and Three Man Cannon, a band that calls Tigers Jaw’s Pat Brier and Dennis Mishko full-time members. This may sound unheard of, but to hear McIlwee describe it, it seems to speak more to the kindred feeling between the two bands as well as everyone else on the tour. That, and the fact that it makes touring easier with fewer people to worry about. “We always wanted to tour with Three Man Cannon,” McIlwee said. “We toured with Kite Party two years ago … and they’re so much fun to hang out with, and they’re a great band,
so it just kind of made sense to do this tour. It’s the first time we’re going south, and (we’re doing) it with our friends and people that we know and trust and we won’t feel like we’re stranded with.” McIlwee noted that the band has toured in the U.K. and as far south as Georgia, but this particular tour has taken them even further down the coast, a jaunt that has brought with it a lot of good vibes. “The further south we go, the more fun the shows are, maybe because we’ve never been here before and more kids are coming to see us for the first time,” he said, after pausing to admire some salamanders skittering across a fence. In addition to an upcoming split vinyl with O Pioneers!!! and the potential for a new album early next year, it seems Tigers Jaw is focusing a lot on playing live shows. Maybe it’s due to youth or unbridled musical passion, but McIlwee doesn’t show even the slightest sign of distaste for spending time on the road,
you’re writing is. That will never go out of style.” With a new album due out Sept. 13, Cooper is set once again to prove he’s still got the chops. Titled “Welcome 2 My Nightmare,” the record is a sequel to Cooper’s landmark 1975 concept album, “Welcome to My Nightmare.” Of the upcoming release’s 14 tracks, one especially noteworthy addition is the song “What Baby Wants,” which sees shock-rock maniac Cooper singing a duet with pop-music bad-girl, Ke$ha. Though the pairing may raise a few eyebrows, Cooper insists that modern performers like Ke$ha and Lady Gaga have more in common with his own unique brand of theatrical mayhem than one might think. “They’ve embraced that rock ’n’ roll is show business and that you can’t go up there, just do your little dance and a song and walk off,” he explains. “I talked to Lady Gaga and I said, ‘I can see my influence in your
show. You do the same thing I do. You take your lyrics, and you bring them to life onstage with a character.’ … Same thing with Ke$ha.” Pondering the key to his own career longevity, Cooper, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March, reveals that he’s thankful first and foremost for the sobriety he’s enjoyed since his highly publicized struggle with alcoholism in the ’70s and ’80s. “The fact that I haven’t grown up that much helps a lot, too,” he adds. “I still really love being up on stage, with the makeup on, doing the stage show. … It’s hard to give that up.” W Alice Cooper / Livan, Tues., Aug. 23, 8 p.m. Scranton Cultural Center (420 N. Washington Ave., Scranton). Tickets: $59.50, $49.50, $39.50. Info: alicecooper.com, scrantonculturalcenter.org, 570.346.7369
Tigers Jaw will finish its current tour with a hometown show Saturday. instead declaring it “the coolest thing.” Pennsylvania may not have salamanders (of the wild variety, at least) and endless sunshine, but the appeal of ending the tour near its home base is a bit of a comfort for the downto-earth McIlwee. “The last day of tour is horrible, because even though you’re just with these people for three weeks, it just sucks knowing that you have to spend time apart from them,” he shared. “So I think having a show at
home ties things together really well. And it makes going home after the show feel a lot more natural and better, making the best of a bad situation.” W Tigers Jaw / Kite Party / Three Man Cannon / White Wives / Junior Battles / Luther, Sat.

The magic and mystery of Bob Dylan R E V I E W
By Nikki M. Mascali Weekender Editor
SCRANTON — Forget that his vocals can sometimes resemble more croaking than singing, and take a Bob Dylan show for what it is: The legend doing the songs he wants with the arrangements that he wants before a rapt audience. Watching Dylan’s performance Wednesday, Aug. 10 at Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain was like watching history unfold before your eyes. Some of his most well-known songs were mixed in with deeper cuts, including three in a row from 2001’s “Love And Theft.� Following a cover-heavy 45minute performance by legendin-his-own-right Leon Russell, Dylan’s set started with the slightly bluesy “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35,� with “The Poet
Bob Dylan, who doesn’t allow photographers at his performances, returned to NEPA last week for the first time since 2003. Laureate of Rock ’n’ Roll� clad in his trademark western-style suit and hat behind the keyboards. “It Ain’t Me, Babe� featured a great lead in and warbling organ while Dylan came out to center stage with his har-
monica for a bluegrass-tinged rendition of his Oscar-winning song, “Things Have Changed.� Dylan and his harmonica stayed front and center for “Tangled Up In Blue,� which preceded “Beyond Here Lies Nothin,’�
for which he strapped on his guitar. The three “Love and Theft� songs followed: The tender “Mississippi,� “High Water (For Charley Patton)� and the rockabilly-esque “Summer Days,� which featured a great Dylan organ/Charlie Sexton guitar dance and Tony Garnier’s fantastic upright bass. The nine-minute “Desolation Road,� from 1965’s “Highway 61 Revisited,� featured a tasty tangent that only added to Dylan’s mellow, low-key performance. That album’s title track followed, and had Sexton’s guitar and Dylan’s organ again playing off each other well, making the song a standout. Dylan handled a guttural guitar solo on “Simple Twist of Fate,� which, these days is a rare treat, as the musician mostly spends his time behind the keys or manning his harmonica. A peppy version of “Thunder On The Mountain,� from 2006’s “Modern Times� featured Dylan doing a few equally peppy dance moves. An incredible — and devilish — “Ballad Of A Thin Man,� which featured woeful and searing Dylan harmonica, closed the set proper on a magnificent note. Following the first song of the encore, an amazing version of
“Like A Rolling Stone,� Dylan spoke to the audience for the first time to say, “Thank you very much,� before introducing his adept band. The show’s final song was the searing “All Along The Watchtower,� which was deep and dark thanks to layers of guitars, bass and organ melded together, while Garnier’s chugging bass offered an ominous tone. Bob Dylan is one of rock ’n’ roll’s most mysterious entities. He’s been the voice of social unrest, he famously jumped from folk to “electric,� to Christian music and back, and has put out some of his best, most wellreceived works in the past decade. He’s a poet, who sometimes sounds more like he’s reciting stanzas than singing, a painter and more than anything, an enigma. The receptive and sizeable crowd that stood before Dylan Wednesday night got it. They got that his vocals are an acquired taste, they got that his songs you hear on the radio probably aren’t going to be what you hear or even recognize in concert — and they got that rare glimpse into the magic and mystique that is one of America’s greatest musicians.

movie review
Nick, left, played by Jesse Eisenberg, and Chet (Aziz Ansari) work together to try and rob a bank in ‘30 Minutes or Less.’
Not as funny as it could be F
or a supposedly bawdy comedy, “30 Minutes or Less” is strangely subdued. The laughs come from small scenes: A hitman wincing as he treats a wound with rubbing alcohol, a wannabe tough guy leaving a phone message for a stripper that is alternately straightforward and salacious. A movie like this requires broad humor or a barrage of witty, withering retorts, not a collection of clever accents. Especially when the premise (which mirrors a real-life 2003 case) is this bizarre. Jesse Eisenberg plays Nick, a twentysomething slacker who hauls his beat-up Mustang around Grand Rapids, Mich., deliver-
ing pizzas. Little is going right. Obviously, the job stinks. His longtime best friend, Chet (Aziz Ansari), wants nothing to do with him. And Chet’s attractive twin sister (Dilshad Vadsaria), the love of Nick’s crappy life, is heading to Atlanta for her dream job. In another section of town, well-funded, badly coiffed screw-up Dwayne (Danny McBride) has had it with his millionaire father (Fred Ward), a retired military man who is blowing through his lottery winnings while retaining maximum hostility for his son. Dwayne can’t afford to wait for the inheritance. So, he and his sycophant, bomb-making friend, Travis (Nick Swardson),
concoct a plan: They’ll strap explosives to a poor sap, force him to rob a bank, and use the money to fund the murder of Dwayne’s dad. Nick, unfortunately, is that poor sap. Dwayne and Travis give him nine hours to complete the mission. If Nick decides to deviate from the plan — call the cops, escape, even fail to get the money — he’s dead. Panicking, Nick visits Chet at his teaching job. The two quickly make amends and proceed to put their vast knowledge of “Point Break” to the ultimate test. Alas, Chet hasn’t seen “The Hurt Locker,” so he can’t defuse the bomb. Many excellent movies have employed a bickering duo
forced to get out of a jam or solve a problem. Off the top of my head, here are three: “Midnight Run,” “Lethal Weapon” and “48 Hours.” What director Ruben Fleischer (“Zombieland”) fails to realize is that those movies succeeded because the humor came from the conflict between two very different personalities. Ansari and Eisenberg, both nerdy, nervous and sarcastic, are too similar. And both lack the big comedic personality to carry the movie on their slender shoulders. Poor casting and seemingly random character development plagues the entire movie. After nearly a decade of playing awkward smart guys, culminat-
ing in his bravura performance as Mark Zuckerberg in last year’s “The Social Network,” are we supposed to buy Eisenberg as a rudderless, beerdrinking “man-child?” McBride is excellent, but his keen dramatic instincts feel misplaced, as does the emerging morality of Swardson’s dopey sidekick. Maybe these moves are supposed to give an air of humanity to the proceedings — the actual bank robber/pizza guy, Brian Wells, died — but all they do is stall any comedic momentum. “30 Minutes or Less” should be goofy, stupid fun. Fleischer and his cohorts, it turns out, are too smart for their own good. Read more of Pete’s cinematic musings on whatpeteswatching. blogspot.com.

O
ne Red X will soon release its first fulllength album, and if you’re a fan of metal with a modern edge, big hooks, thick melodies and songs with legitimate themes, then this a CD release party you will not want to miss. The band is set to drop “Laughing in the Face of Tragedy” Saturday, Aug. 20 at the New Penny Lounge in Scranton, a place that has always been considered a “home” to the group. Formerly known as Drop the Lowest when the band first formed in high school, it hit the cover scene hard, only throwing in an original here and there; but now, after a break and a name change, the tables have turned, and One Red X is more focused than ever. “We were just friends from high school when we started playing covers,” singer Jon Snow said in a recent interview. “It just faded and fell apart. Then about three years ago, we decided we wanted to play music together, but take it more seriously. To take it more seriously, we focused mainly on playing our own music — original music.” One Red X — Snow, Chris Lyons and John “J-Train” Nicosia on guitar, Nicky “4Strings” on bass and Justin Young on drums — could not be happier with the choice. “When you’re doing your own music it’s so much better,” Snow said. “No one can tell you that you’re doing your own song wrong, you can stand behind it better.” The group’s influences vary for each member, but a few core bands stuck out to Snow. Modern-rock and radio-friendly bands like Disturbed and Creed were on his list, but also heavier bands like Killswitch Engage held a spot as well. Recording the new record was an interesting experience

“We’ve always prided ourselves with our live performance, and now with new songs, we’ll be able to take it to a new level.”

for One Red X. Only playing covers the first time around, no one in the band had ever recorded in a studio before. So when it came time to pick a studio, the members chose not only a place they were comfortable, but a place with great friends, local rock band Absolution. Side-B Studios in Dorrance, owned and operated by Absolution, was where One Red X’s 12-track album was recorded over a three-year process. “Our producer Tom (Godin) was amazing to work with,” said Snow. “He really helped us through the entire process and just made everything very easy for us. He made us feel like we’ve done it before.” Absolution is also on the bill for Saturday’s CD-release party along with 3 To Breathe. Snow mentioned that the band is most comfortable in a live atmosphere and playing the show with friends will make for one of the best times. “We try to be as energetic as possible, and I think the other bands do as well,” he said. “That’s what makes this show
so great. We want people to come out because they know they’ll enjoy themselves and have a great time. We’ve always prided ourselves with our live performance, and now with new songs, we’ll be able to take it to a new level.” For now, the group wants to establish a solid fan base in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area, but has hopes for small regional tours in the near future as well. The band has become addicted to the songwriting process, as it has already started pre-production on the next album. “We’re kind of at the end of our cycle,” Snow explained. “We’ve been playing the same songs for the past few years and now we finally have a new batch. The last thing we want to do is fall back into the same cycle.” W One Red X / Absolution / 3 To Breathe, Sat., Aug 20, 9 p.m., New Penny Lounge (1827 N. Main Ave., Scranton) Free. Info: oneredx.com

She ain't just fiddlin' around U
sually here with “Music On The Menu,” we profile a local band. Sometimes I’ll review a big concert, or a CD, or I’ll write a commentary. But 90 percent of the time, I profile bands. Today, we’re doing none of that. Today, we’re chatting with one local musician who plays an instrument that you don’t see very often in the local clubs. Her name is Christine Attanasio. She plays the fiddle. And she is currently working with six different local projects, including local country favorites Farmer’s Daughter. Though Attanasio, 26, has been playing the fiddle for years and has been involved in several local groups, it was only about six months ago that she made her stage debut with Farmer’s Daughter. She says fate may have
had a role. “It was kind of weird how it happened,” says Attanasio. “I had e-mailed them a while ago, because somebody had told me that they were looking for a fiddle player. But at the time, they were not. In December, I got an e-mail saying that they were looking for someone, and they wanted me to come in and audition. “At the time, I was playing with a Christmas program, and one night, randomly, there was a fill-in bass player. He started talking to me and said, ‘We’re looking for a fiddle player for my band.’ I said, ‘That’s very kind of you, but I’m looking to play with another group.’ I then came to find out he was actually the bass player for Farmer’s Daughter. It worked out in the end, like it was meant to be.” Now more than six months in,

Christine Attanasio recently made her stage debut as part of Farmer’s Daughter.
Attanasio says she’s enjoying the gig. “I love it,” she says. “It’s so much fun. The people that come to see us are great. They just have a ball, no matter where we’re playing. And the music is so much fun to play. It always gets everyone dancing. That’s my favorite part.” Attanasio, a former member of Barefoot and Rippletree Effect, still works with former bandmates Tony Halchak and Amanda Hoffman and has recorded with Scranton’s Jung Bergo and Gypsum Choi. She says playing the fiddle has opened many doors. “I would not have met any of these people or have these people in my life if it wasn’t for such a universal instrument,” she says, adding that the film “Mr. Holland’s Opus” was what first drew her to it. “I saw that movie, and for some reason, and I don’t know what it was, I just became really interested in playing the violin. I was kind of shy when I was in middle school and high school, and my mom said she could tell that I really wanted to play because I walked right up to the orchestra director. I had never met him. Never knew him. And I walked right up him and said, ‘I want to play the violin.’” Attanasio says there is no distinction between the fiddle and the violin and that the only differentiation is determined by the genre of music. Country music has fiddles. Classical music has violins. “It’s the same instrument,” she says. “You can’t go into a music store and say, ‘I want to buy a violin’ or ‘I want to buy a fiddle.’ They’re going to hand you the same thing.” Attanasio also offers fiddle/ violin lessons at Robert M. Sides Family Music Center in WilkesBarre. On Sept. 2 from 4-9 p.m., she’ll perform at the River Common in Wilkes-Barre during the Wendy’s Wonderful Kids Half Marathon and 10K Run. “I’ve always loved the fiddle,” she says. “It adds depth to a lot of songs and more texture. And not only that, but they say it’s the closest instrument to the human voice, so without adding another vocal line, it can add its own voice to a song.” W

haggy is 11 years and five albums separated from one of his biggest hits to date (“It Wasn’t Me”), but his story hasn’t changed. “Sugar is made from it! Rum is made from it! What are you talking about?” the singer, born Orville Burrell, jokingly responded after I asked him about the sexual innuendo in his latest song, “Sugarcane.” “It wasn’t me, man, that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it!” The dancehall artist’s music and outlook have stayed relatively consistent over his career, even with his latest LP, “Summer in Kingston.” “When you put a new shirt on that you just bought, you have a different feeling than when you put on the shirt you’ve been wearing for a while,” he explained. “It’s a mood adjuster. The music must do the same thing to you.” It was that mentality that led Shaggy, along with fellow dancehall sensation Sean Paul and hip-hop artist Busta Rhymes, to London earlier this month. The artists performed a concert for the youth in the U.K., with hopes it would quell the foreseeable violence. “We had to go in there, as strong figures of the dancehall and reggae community, and just tell the kids to live another way,” Shaggy said. “I guess after we left it kind of just erupted.” But the singer’s attitude doesn’t waver when it comes to the effect his music can have on a population good or bad. He laughed at a recent segment on cable news about
SIMPLE PLAN’S TRIALS & TRIBULATIONS Simple Plan has been around the block a couple times, but even drummer Chuck Comeau was a little overwhelmed when the band attempted to film its latest music video in an airport. “The whole video almost collapsed the night before,” he revealed to “The Ralphie Radio Show.” “It was crazy stressful but in the end we got something really great and the funny thing is, we couldn’t play really loud.” When almost any music video is filmed, the song is played on set in the background so that the artists can sing and play along to it, as if they’re actually playing the track. If you’ve never been on a music video set before, lead singer Pierre Bouvier explained why the low volume mandate proved tricky during the shoot. “The point is to get (the music) as loud as possible, so you feel like you’re actually playing it,” said the frontman. “So you can feel the energy, and you don’t feel all ridiculous moving around like you’re rocking out to a little boom box that’s about level two volume.” Despite the music, the guys are happy with the final product. Simple Plan decided to film the piece for “Jet Lag,” a track from “Get Your Heart On!” in Toronto Pearson International Airport. Thankfully for the pop rockers, they were able to use a terminal closed to the public and under construction. Still, the band was subject to airport security, getting “frisked” anytime they entered or exited the terminal. W Listen to “The Ralphie Radio Show” weeknights from 7 p.m.-midnight on 97 BHT.
Thorogood is blue to the bone
“2120 South Michigan Avenue,” George Thorogood’s latest, is a tribute album and history lesson rolled into a neat 13-track package. Taking its name from the address of legendary blues label Chess Records, the album consists of 10 covers of Chess artists (including Chuck Berry, Willie Dixon, and Muddy Waters), two originals and concludes with a cover of The Rolling Stones’ “2120 South Michigan Avenue,” an earlier tribute to Chess Records and to the blues’ influence on rock ’n’
roll. The album opens with “Going Back,” one of the two original tracks, and it sets the mood for what’s to follow. From there, Thorogood begins a run of nine covers, performed in his typical barrelingfreight-train style. Following is another original, “Willie Dixon’s Gone,” during which Thorogood pays tribute to who may be his favorite artist of the genre (four songs covered here were penned by Dixon). From there, the album concludes with “Chicago Bound”
Simple Plan “Get Your Heart On!” Rating: W W W 1/2
Sticking to its P ` lan' Simple Plan recently released its fourth studio album, “Get Your Heart On!” As expected, the band doesn’t stray far from the platform that made it successful: Creating catchy songs that can be found on Nickelodeon; however, those catchy tunes aren’t half bad. “Heart On” shows a lot of promise with “You Suck At Love,” establishing the fact
-- Michael Irwin Weekender Correspondent
that SP isn’t trying to break the mold with the record, which isn’t such a bad thing. The song is a smooth, well-balanced opener with a lively chorus. “Can’t Keep My Hands Off You,” a track that features Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo, keeps the pace. Cuomo’s presence isn’t only fitting, but enjoyable on this quick and old-fashioned punk song. The rest of the album is somewhat of a tossup. “Jet Lag,” “Loser Of The Year” and “Freaking Me Out” keep the energy, while “Astronaut,” “Gone Too Soon” and “Anywhere Else But Here” are on the downside. The latter have the potential to be blasting rock anthems, but instead fizzle out and feel like a long car ride you just want to be over. Simple Plan expanded a tiny bit with “Summer Paradise” and “This Song Saved My Life.” The former is a great vacation song and makes you wish you were at the beach; it’s a Jack Johnson-type tune SP has never offered before. “This Song Saved My Life” was written by fans, with lyrics submitted through Twitter. You can definitely pick up on the oddity when listening. Knowing the band completed more than 70 songs before narrowing it down to 11 makes it a tad upsetting that the record isn’t picture perfect. But putting the few faults aside, there is enough classic SP to make “Get Your Heart On!” a worthwhile album. -- Matt Morgis Weekender Intern

George Thorogood “2120 South Michigan Avenue”
A mix of mayhem There are many things that come to mind when Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke is involved. A former member of Escape the Fate, Radke is talented, iconic, wild and notorious for creating colorful and unique tracks. Falling in Reverse released its debut “The Drug In Me Is You” in July, and
3. OneRepublic: “Good Life” 2. Katy Perry: “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” 1. Pitbull/Ne-Yo: “Give Me Everything”
to say the outing is just a hard-rock album would be a gross understatement. In addition to aggressive rock, Radke incorporates metal and electronica into this collective mix of mayhem and definitely keeps listeners wondering what will come next. Opening track “Raised By Wolves” is an insane marriage of electronica, hard rock and Radke’s guttural death-metal-esque growls. He then immediately switches it up and launches right into the upbeat anthem, “Tragic Magic,” which has an infectious chorus before Radke’s vocals take a metal turn. The title track is a guitar-driven anthem, complete with immense hooks and catchy choruses. The band demonstrates that it could be a strictly metal band if they ever felt like a switch up on “Goodbye Graceful.” Radke sounds like a different person on this track compared to other songs. It’s packed with vicious breakdowns, making it possibly the album’s heaviest. Radke’s vocals are witty and poetic, leaving little room for interpretation as to what he is feeling. Overall, Radke has managed to imprint his dramatic personality into every aspect of “The Drug In Me Is You.” -- Lisa Schaeffer Weekender Correspondent

ALBUM REVIEWS
and the Stones’ track before fading off into the night. George Thorogood’s music has always sounded as though it was born from a smokefilled room on Chicago’s South Side in the early 1950s as opposed to Delaware in the late 1970s; “2120 South Michigan Avenue” serves to further that claim. With this album, Thorogood not only breathes some new life into the blues, but into his career as well. Fans of the blues will enjoy his take on some classics; fans of raw, ballsy rock ’n’ roll will enjoy hearing Thorogood pay tribute to his roots. From the packaging to the content, there could not be a more fitting tribute to Chess Records, and Thorogood was definitely the right man for the job.

Some celebs go for the green W
e live in a technological era where celebrity image and status is regularly plastered in front of us. With televisions and magazines constantly displaying the images of celebrities, it is hard to avoid the petty news and gossip. But there are a few celebrities out there that really do care, and this year, the International Green Awards introduced the Best Green International Celebrity Award to identify who has used their media spotlight to promote a positive environmental way of life. Celebrities are capable of grabbing an audience’s attention with just about anything they do. So when Leonardo DiCaprio drove to the Oscars in a Prius one year, living a greener lifestyle became more appealing. The International Green Awards is showcasing a variety of environmentalists and wants the Best Green Celebrity to be someone who inspires individuals by example. The Awards created a list of 15 celebrities from around the world and wants everyone to vote. The list includes actors, models, photographers and musicians such as DiCaprio, Sir Paul McCartney, Cameron Diaz, Helena Christensen, Sting, Gael Garcia Bernal, Don Cheadle and Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen, just to name a few. These individuals are eager to steer the power of the media on important matters. DiCaprio has his own foundation, The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, which supports efforts towards sustainability. He is also an ambassador associated with Green Cross International and even lives in a solar panel-covered home. McCartney has been an
Sir Paul McCartney is one of the many celebrities embracing the ‘green’ movement. environmental advocate for years, who promotes animal rights, is an ambassador of PETA and is also involved in a campaign to end animal testing for cosmetic products sold in Europe. In 1989, Sting and his wife, Trudie Styler, set up the Rainforest Foundation International after witnessing first hand the destruction of the Amazon rainforests. With his foundation, Sting has helped protect more than 100,000 square kilometers of rainforest. The International Green Awards wants to applaud the celebrity who has used the limelight for positive change and gives the audience a chance to decide how these popular figures really do influence us. It’s important to recognize celebrities for the good they do rather than recognize them for stupidity. To check out the entire list of nominees and cast your vote, visit greenawards.com.

Beam me over to Jordan, Scotty F
or fans of the “Star Trek” series, the last few years have been a “trekstravaganza,” with a blockbuster reboot of the series, several video games and more pop-culture interest than the franchise has enjoyed since the 1990s. It’s a good time to be a Trekkie. Now, there’s a “Star Trek” theme park in the works. It’s a $1.5 billion enterprise, which will include four hotels and 17 “entertainment developments,” along with restaurants, theaters and shopping. The park is being developed in concert with Paramount Recreation and CBS Consumer Products. Don’t get your phasers in a fricassee just yet, Trek fans, there’s one little bump in the road. The new theme park is a little off the beaten path. By that,
I mean to say it’s in another country, namely, Jordan. You may ask yourself, “Why Jordan?” It seems that His Majesty King Abdullah II is quite the “Star Trek” fan. He even had a cameo on “Star Trek Voyager,” in the episode “Investigations.” And like most kings worth their salt, he’s fantastically wealthy, and more to the point, if he wants to spend the money on a “Star Trek” theme park, he can. Given the rabid nature of “Star Trek” fans (to illustrate the point, Klingon, a language that was developed for the series, is more widely spoken than several real languages), and since a relatively modest 500,000 visitors a year are required for the property to be profitable, it seems like a fairly sound investment on the king’s part. The entire project, taken to-
gether, is called the “Red Sea Astrarium,” and construction is set to start in the city of Aqaba sometime next year. With the loss of the “Star Trek: Experience,” a “Star Trek”themed exhibit originally located in Las Vegas, a pilgrimage to Aqaba could be a journey of some significance to “Star Trek” fans the world over. If you have the means to undertake a trek to Jordan, despite the political instability in the region, it’s not a bad place to visit. Jordan has enjoyed excellent relations with the United States and other western nations for decades, has one of the highest standards of living in the Arab world and has extremely progressive social policies. I should note that the “Star Trek” theme is only a small portion of the attraction. According to Ha-

Early plans for a ‘Star Trek’-themed destination in Jordan. nin Fakhriddin of Rubicon Holding, the park will also revolve around the history and culture of the Red Sea region, including British, Roman and Babylonian influences. The Star Trek attraction will be in a section of the park dedicated to the future. The
park should open sometime in W 2014. Nick DeLorenzo is director of interactive and new media for The Times Leader. E-mail him at ndelorenzo@timesleader.com.

KILDARE’S GETS A MENU MAKEOVER Kildare’s Authentic Irish Pub (110 Jefferson Ave., Scranton) recently launched a new menu, adding 22 new items. The menu features favorites including Irish Craic nachos, baked five-onion soup, the Dubliner burger, crab cake pubwich, turkey Swiss pubwich, Guinness stew, shepherd’s pie, bangers and mash, fish and chips and the Philly cheesesteak boxty. New additions include crab and cheese dip (served in a pretzel roll now instead of a bread bowl), fried bangin’ mac and cheese, spice-rubbed shrimp, Reuben spring roll, beer mussels, hummus, beer bratwurst, veggie cheesesteak, corned beef and cabbage and Guinness-poached salmon. “We have always served incredible Irish food,” stated Executive Chef Steve Calise. “However, we thought it was time to update our menu by adding some new healthy items, keeping some of the popular items and updating dishes by adding a twist.” All Kildare’s locations are assembled in Ireland and shipped to the U.S. Hundreds of containers of Irish artifacts are shipped in to use throughout the buildings and staff members are trained in traditional Irish hospitality and service.
The sand bar will remain open throughout the year, featuring different types of performance artwork every Sunday at 5:30 p.m. Each Sunday will also feature 15 percent of sales benefiting a chosen charity. The Roman Holiday Sand Bar is open during normal business hours Tuesday-Sunday starting at 5 p.m. The restaurant is closed Mondays. For more info, e-mail Kevin@Damentis.com, find Damenti’s Restaurant on Facebook or call 570.788.2004.
Kildare’s was founded by Dave Magrogan in 2003. Lunch and dinner are served daily at the Scranton location, along with Sunday brunch and daily food and drink specials. For more info, visit kildaresirishpub.com or call 570.344.4030. Magrogan also owns Doc Magrogan’s Oyster House at The Shoppes at Montage (7011 Shoppes Blvd., Moosic). GO POUND SAND Damenti’s Restaurant (870 N. Hunter Highway, Mountain Top), has opened “The Roman Holiday Sand Bar,” featuring the work of the ice sculptors, local artists and more, who will return frequently to do sculpting performances using wood, metal, sand, snow, ice and more. The sculptures will remain in Damenti’s new sculpture garden.
COOKING UP AN AWARD The American Academy of Chefs (AAC), the honor society of the American Culinary Federation (ACF), recently recognized Pittston chef Blaise Alan Dente as an honorary inductee DENTE during the ACF National Convention in Dallas, Texas. Dente, the chef/owner of Dente’s Catering Service, is an active member of ACF Professional Chefs of NEPA and serves as the chapter’s president. The AAC, which recognizes those individuals who have made significant contributions to both the culinary profession and ACF, W was established in 1955.

good Scotch, the warm, acrid scent of cigarette smoke and the sound of swing music in the heart of nostalgic 1930s New York City. That’s the scene that envelopes, embraces and enchants the reader from the first chapter of Amor Towles’ debut novel, “Rules of Civility.” Opening on New Year’s Eve 1937, the novel tells the story of a chance meeting between the ironically named Katey Kontent, her friend Eve Ross and the handsome, wealthy Tinker Grey. The characters unfold and reveal themselves slowly, just how one would imagine the vodka at Chernoff’s (the Russian immigrant hideaway at which the trio finds itself at one point) slowly distills in the proprietor’s bathtub/makeshift still. Their chance meeting leads to a whirlwind of events that catapult Katey into an enviable position as part of the startup of “Gotham” magazine and into the upper echelon of New York City
high society. Towles’ writing is reflective, but not so much that he’s asking the reader to follow him into the depths of the unknown. Rather, one feels kinship and, at times, pity for Katey and her quiet longing, her hidden wishes, her unvoiced desires. But her wry sense of humor and quick wit, especially when she’s bitter about something, makes it clear she’s not some one-dimensional character devoid of poise or self-assurance. In Katey, Towles has fluidly built a feminine, headstrong individual, and his portrayal of her is impressive. Though the other characters have their charm and solid personalities, Katey is the bookish heroine of “Rules of Civility.” While there are many unexpected twists and turns, Towles unfolds the story quietly, without much pomp and flair, which makes it that much more of a page-turner. As much as his descriptive language so easily paints the setting of the novel, so, too, does his dialogue and tone. Everything about “Rules of Civility” makes it a heady tribute to a city like no other during an era like no other. The lingo, the vivid descriptions and the scenery all call the reader back to a time when it was a nickel for a gin and tonic and the only thing you could do with a phone was talk into it. One of the most stirring lines of Towles’ fluttery prose sums up his utterly fantastic debut with elegant accuracy: “‘That’s the problem with being born in New York,’ the old newsman observed a little sadly. ‘You’ve got no New York to run away to.’”
Tues. 6-8 p.m., Father Mulrooney Catholic Education Center (44 W. Hartford St., Ashley). $50. All genres of writing: print, audio, visual media, fiction, non-fiction, poetry. Register in advance, check payable to Jim Spock. For info call 570.823.0786.

As natives of New York, Roy and Louise settled in the North Pocono area opening Bagel Meister in Scranton’s Southside Shopping Center, May 27th 2011.

Style files
By Rachel A. Pugh
Weekender General Manager
A variety of trendy fashions to fit everyone’s needs.
High style at low prices T carry? LONG: I carry 7 For All Mankind, Calvin Klein, Levi’s, Married to the Mob, Juicy, Coach, WeSC, LA Idol and much more. WEEKENDER: Who is your target audience? LONG: This is a boutique for anyone who loves fashion and wants to be dressed differently from the rest. If you love high fashion at low prices, then you are my target audience. WEEKENDER: What made you want to open your own boutique? LONG: I wanted to open my boutique because of my own love of fashion, being tired of shopping online and paying overpriced retail. Plus, if it doesn’t fit or the wrong things are sent, then it’s a hassle to return it. I was tired of having to shop out of town for styles
I loved, so I decided to bring it here. With a lot of research and traveling, I believe I’ll have something for everyone’s fashion needs. WEEKENDER: You have used and new clothing. How do you receive the used clothing? LONG: I do carry barely used fashions, too, but some of it I buy. A lot of it is from my friends and family who have offered me a lot of their support. In the future, I’m sure I will be able to buy more from the public. WEEKENDER: Are you involved in any local fashion shows or events? LONG: I personally have hosted a great fashion show right here at the boutique, which could be viewed on Facebook. I have also done some charity events and benefits. I have
donated a lot of gift cards, baskets, etc. for benefits to help pay medical expenses for people. I also participated in the Unity Fest in Scranton. I would be interested in any other events or cross networking. WEEKENDER: What’s your hottest seller? LONG: One of the hottest sellers are Coach bags, because they’re cheaper than outlet prices, costume jewelry and dresses. WEEKENDER: What brands can we expect to see in the fall? LONG: This fall, I want to have a lot of variety such as Grace in La, 80%20, some of the hottest footwear, DKNY, MMTM, Rock & Republic, Ralph Lauren, WeSC and so much more. WEEKENDER: What future plans do you have
for your boutique? LONG: I’m hoping to have a bright future here and continue to bring everyone the greatest, hottest fashion. Because I am a recent graduate of Empire Beauty School, I would like to combine it with a full-service salon and allow females to get away, pamper themselves and do some shopping. That’s something every woman needs — a day of shopping and relaxing. W

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Denying a cheering audience an encore is pretty cold. However, exhausting them by delivering three, four or more bonus performances would be a terrible idea, too. Haven’t you ever heard of the concept “leave them wanting more?” Make that your strategy this week, even though that will likely leave you wanting more, too — maybe even more than they do. Suck it up, Leo. Playing a little hard to get is what’s best for your long-term well-being. Don’t be cold and aloof. Staying cool (and slightly unattainable), though, will have them eating out of your hand. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) As you know all too well, there’s such a thing as too much of a good thing. What was fantastic and healthy when abundant becomes an overwhelming source of misery once it has the chance to proliferate endlessly. You may need to firmly end the cycle this week. I understand your reluctance. Sometimes that means being harsh. Also, what if your efforts transform feast into famine? Unfortunately, that’s a risk you’ll have to take. Half-measures won’t work here. If a plant is taking over your garden, you deprive it of the water and sunlight it needs to thrive, at the very least. However, if you really want to get the job done, you rip it out by the roots.
PAGE 54
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) This is a good week for fixing broken relationships — particularly ones you broke. It won’t be easy, though. You’ll have to be humble, and admit to (and apologize for) all the mistakes you made. You’ll also have to be truly sincere in your desire to make a new connection, one with totally original parameters. You’ll never again have what you had, so fixating on that is a pointless waste of time. Instead, you need to become inspired about what can be, instead of what was — and the realistic hope that, at least in some ways, it might be better. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Scorpios will climb way out on a limb for someone they love. This, naturally, has regularly gotten you into trouble throughout your life. I hope that your willingness to go through hell to help those dear to you never fades; however, you might start being more selective about just how far you’re willing to stick your neck out, and for whom. You should still be willing to go to extremes — that’s part of what makes you special. But taking them down a notch, or exercising a little more caution … well,
ROBERT DE NIRO August 17 1943 CHRISTIAN SLATER August 18 1969 KYRA SEDGWICK August 19 1965 DEMI LOVATO (pictured) August 20 1992 KENNY ROGERS August 21 1938 TORI AMOS August 22 1963 JULIAN CASABLANCAS August 23 1978
those would be signs that you haven’t forgotten how to be a good friend — you’ve just learned to practice wisdom, too. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) You and I are both big fans of the truth. However, truth in all things at all times is a recipe for unhappiness, misery and strife. I’m not advocating that you lie; however, smart decisions about what to reveal, and when, can go a long way toward increasing your serenity and making the people around you generally happier, too. There are times when failure to disclose something is just as bad as a big, fat, blackhearted lie. This isn’t one of them. In this case, keeping your mouth shut is probably the kindest, smartest thing you can do. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Many pet owners suck, because they didn’t realize what they were really signing on for when they got their new companion. You too, may be feeling disillusioned about the commitment you made, now that you’re living it, and it’s not what you’d imagined. Tough shit. You have two choices here. The first is: suck it up and truly live up to your end of the bargain, because doing what you consider the bare minimum is lame, cruel and unfair. The other option, of course, is to back out before you make everyone involved miserable. However, you have an obligation here, too: Just like that regretful dog owner, who must find her pooch a wonderful new home, it’s your job to at least try to leave those you inadvertently led on better off than when you found them. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Before you go over someone’s head — even if you’re pretty sure you’re going to have to, anyway — approach them directly. Tattling would leave them feeling paranoid and picked on, which won’t help matters one bit. Treat this person like a reasonable human being (even if they don’t often act like one) who’ll hear your request or criticism with at least a modicum of politesse and an open mind. You may be pleasantly surprised by the end result, even if the encounter itself proves difficult. The direct approach is harder, sure, but it’ll also feel better, and, more importantly, work better. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Fix the problem only you seem to see. It may not be your business, but there may also be no one else. Don’t imagine some knight in shining armor will ride up and take care of this. You don’t need to be a hero. Just step up and do your best, before the situation worsens. You might be inviting trouble, conflict and drama into your life by getting involved here, but that’s irrelevant; it’s still the right thing to do. Luckily, along with all that crap, some good stuff may come too, stuff like: Opportunity, profit, love, recognition, serenity and satisfaction. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Being anything — Aries, bisexual, Republican, actor or any of a million other labels — comes with its own set of baggage. People make assumptions. “Oh, you’re one of those!” Of course, only terribly boring people fit cleanly into any category, and you’re not one of those.
Therefore, resist using such labels to describe yourself, no matter how much people insist. You are you, and none of those things comes close to conveying exactly who that is. If someone really can’t be bothered to figure you out on their own, and insists on some kind of category for you, tell them, “I’m one of those People You Don’t Know.” TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Getting a “yes” every time you asked for anything would make all that approval kind of meaningless, wouldn’t it? It’s the challenge of surmounting a whole mountain of rejection that makes whatever you get in the end — job, romance, sex — that much better and more satisfying. Rejection is a hugely necessary part of the big picture, so censoring or second-guessing yourself out of fear of it is really, really dumb. (Understandable, but dumb.) This week is a good one to pile on the rejections that’ll make your ultimate success that much sweeter. Get out there and start racking them up. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Do you really want what you think you want? Or is it only desirable because you’re pretty sure you can’t have it? How much of your fantasy life is about the titillating thrill of the unattainable, and how much is devoted to desires that might actually be fulfilled, if you play your cards right? It’s fun and totally OK to have dreams that you know (whether you admit it or not) will never come to fruition. However, you also need some — preferably most — that are actually possible. This week, make sure that at least half the time you spend making wishes in your head is used on wishes that can come true. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Imagine a world where marriages weren’t “’til death do us part,” but rather, say, “for the next seven years.” Even though this model is arguably less romantic, I’d bet a much higher percentage of these marriages would succeed. Here’s the problem with stuff like lifelong commitment: People change. A decade from now you’ll be quite a different person, with new desires and goals — and so will whoever you’re with. Even if you’re perfect together now, your aims may be completely incompatible in 10 years. Don’t fool yourself. Accepting — and planning around — that truth is a big part of making decisions that’ll ultimately lead to more happiness than disappointment.

A fitting tribute to a life cut short

Paul “Mugsy” McGuire holds a photo of his daughter, Erica, who passed away in 2009.
“This year we are not only working to keep her memory alive, but to donate money to Marley’s Mission. Erica would like that her memory will help kids.” Paul “Mugsy” McGuire
boys, we’re donating it to a charity, the boys are doing fine,” their grandfather said. Mugsy took them up to Marley’s Mission to see where the money was going, and the boys actually got to ride the horses and see firsthand where the proceeds will be going. I’m not sure they understand all of what’s happening, but this is such a great lesson of giving in action. I’m sure they will grow up valuing the work being done this weekend. They will definitely be at the ride/picnic. Sunday’s ride starts at the Parker House (12 E. Parker St., Scranton). It is a poker-run event, and registration is from 10 a.m.-noon; the last bike needs to be in by 5 p.m. The cost is $10 per rider and $10 per passenger. There will be music, games and a picnic, which starts at 2 p.m.; walk-ins for the picnic are welcome for a $10 admission. For more
information, call Sharon at 570.840.6707 or Mugsy at 386.214.7955. Last year, Mugsy was featured in the PennDOT video for the Live Free Ride Alive video and website that promotes motorcycle safety by having families and survivors retell stories. Mugsy’s very poignant story relates the tale of Erica’s accident. It’s a must see. You can find it at www.livefreeridealive.com. Mugsy’s last comment to me was a heart breaker: “Every night as I go to bed, there is a picture of her on my nightstand. I kiss it goodnight and tell her I love her.” Erica lives on in the lives of her father, her sons and the people that all come to help raise money for this very worthy charity. A fitting tribute to a life cut short. Motorcycles are everywhere, look twice and save a life. W

ome people leave this life way too early. They are not easily forgotten. Erica McGuire is one of those people. Yesterday marked the second anniversary of her death, and Sunday, Aug. 21 will mark the second year people will be coming together to ride their motorcycles in her memory and making a difference. I sat with Erica’s father, Paul “Mugsy” McGuire recently to chat about the upcoming ride. This was not the first time I’ve done that. Last year we talked about Erica, her life and death. This year we talked about the future. Time does not always heal all wounds. When you lose a child, you lose most, if not all, of your heart. “The most important thing about Erica was that on the balloon release on her birthday, I realized just how many people’s lives she touched and how many people still think of her and remember her,” Mugsy said. It’s often that way with shining stars. Erica was killed in a motorcycle accident on Aug. 16, 2009. She left behind a grieving father and two young sons, Jared, who is now seven, and Jimmy, four. Last year’s ride went to help fund their educations and basic needs. This year, the proceeds from the run will benefit Marley’s Mission. “This year we are not only working to keep her memory alive, but to donate money to Marley’s Mission,” Mugsy said. “Erica would like that her memory will help kids.” Marley’s Mission uses horses as therapy animals for traumatized kids. You can find out more about Marley’s Mission at www.marleysmission.com. In his very humble way, Mugsy explained that he didn’t want people to focus on Erica and the money going to her sons. “Instead of giving it to the

Eat your heart out, Rebecca Black
S
Mancini aided my metamorphosis into future pop stardom. “What kind of song would you like to record?” I was asked. “Something fun that girls can dance on top of a bar to,” I answered. “Something Auto-Tuned like crazy that could give Rebecca Black of YouTube shame a run for her money!” That’s when the idea hit me like a foul ball at a little league game! If I wanted to give Rebecca Black a run for her money, I would have to show her how it’s really done — and what better way to do that than by recording a cover of her song, “Friday?” Since Mancini and I had such a blast recording that song, we decided to record another song called “Local Celebrity,” as well. For everybody who wants to dance like a local celebrity, and get #STUPiDFACEDD, come out and listen to the debut of my two new dance singles. “Local Celebrity” will be debut at the championship round of “Dancing with the NEPA Stars” this Friday, Aug. 19. That same night, my cover of “Friday” will debut at Club Evolution inside The Woodlands in Plains Twp. 11 p.m. sharp! Boomshakka-lakka-boom! W F--k keeping up with the Kardashians!

orry, Mom and Dad … I know I’m supposed to be focusing on getting my shit together so I can finally move out of your house, but I recently decided to concentrate on branding myself by recording a dance single in a minister’s basement. As the championship round of “Dancing with the NEPA Stars” is approaching, I realize that I need to strike while the iron is hot and find a new project that can take my burgeoning local celebrity status to a whole new level when all this dancing malarkey is over. After grasping that creating my own brand of cheap vodka to sell at indoor flea markets involved more of a personal burden than I was willing to commit to, I decided I would do something even more epic: Attach my name to a dance single. Eat your heart out, Rebecca Black, because you’re goin’ down thanks to Justin Brown. To make certain this game plan of recording my debut dance single would be a success, I enlisted the help of Mr. Philip Mancini, proud husband, devoted father, minister and owner of Love The Arts! Inc., which has a long history of bringing music to NEPA. Kind enough to set aside time from his busy schedule of running two locations of his music business, as well as his own fly and tackle shop called Fishin’ Musician Fly & Tackle,
