Letter from the editor
When I was in high school, my friends introduced me to a band called the Grateful Dead. Someone loaned me “Skeletons from the Closet,” the group’s best of, and it was instant love. To this day, “Sugar Magnolia” remains one of my favorite songs ever. I had the opportunity to see the Dead in June of 1995, soon after I graduated high school, but (sorry to bring this up again, Mom), I wasn’t allowed to go. Two months later, member Jerry Garcia passed away, and the Dead that I had come to love was gone. I’ve since seen its remaining members in their various bands, like Phil Lesh and Friends, RatDog and most recently, The Dead, which featured the surviving members of the Grateful Dead. All were great in their own way, but I know it wasn’t the same. (And, for the record, not one of those groups played “Sugar Magnolia” in my presence.)
social
Mike “Miz” Mizwinski, though, saw the Grateful Dead live as it was meant to be: With Jerry when he was 9. “That was a lifechanging event,” the singer/songwriter/guitarist says in this week’s cover story. After seeing the band, Mizwinski knew music was the only path in life for him. Miz — a band that features Mizwinski, A.J. Jump, Bret Alexander, Freeman White and Bill Stetz — will release “East Hope Avenue” this week at the River Street Jazz Cafe in Plains Twp., with his “CD release week,” as Mizwinski explains it, also featuring performances at the Mundy Street Gallery of Sound and the Scranton Cultural Center. Find out more about Miz on pages 14-15. Also in this week’s issue, you can catch up with Mr. George Thorogood (p. 16), see a review of one of the latest “must-have” phones (p. 17), find out how one book can unite a city (p. 35) and more. As always, thanks for reading! Now I’m going to look at my threadbare “Steal Your Face” T-shirt and wonder what might have been … Nikki M. Mascali Weekender Editor
Online comment of the week.
rapo4 Debating whether my rage aimed at Conde Nasters using tongs (instead of, oh, say, fingers) to pick up their toast in the caf is normal.

news of the weird By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
BLUBBERING FOOLS Risky Business Models: (1) Orlando-area cosmetic surgeon Jeffrey Hartog inaugurated Liquid Gold, a storehouse for patients’ frozen liposuctioned fat, charging $900 to safekeep a coffee-cup-sized portion and $200 per year storage (in case the fat is needed later, as for smoothing facial wrinkles). A Massachusetts General Hospital physician shook his head, telling the Orlando Sentinel, “(F)rozen fat doesn’t hold up as well as fresh fat.” (2) German biochemist Peer Bork told the journal Nature in September that he and his partners built the not-forprofit MyMicrobes.com social network so that people with similar stomach bacteria can commiserate over diet and gastrointestinal woes. The $2,100 signup fee includes a full gutbacteria sequencing.
BRIGHT IDEAS Strategies: (1) Alicia Bouchard, 41, was arrested in Jackson County, Fla., in August, accused of hatching a plot with her husband to impregnate a 12-year-old girl for the purpose of producing a baby that would eventually earn an additional welfare check. (2) In August, the Japanese construction firm Maeda Corp. ordered its 2,700 employees to adopt standard, short hairstyles (a “bob” for women with a longer fringe that could be swept to the side, and a routine short-backand-sides cut for men with a slightly longer cut on top). Maeda said it was responding to the government’s plea to reduce energy usage (less water, less hair dryer time). PEOPLE DIFFERENT FROM US (1) Travis Keen, 28, was arrested in Ouachita Parish, La., in August and charged with indecent exposure while driving around the parking lot at a Walmart. According to the police report, Keen explained that, based on experience, “when he comes to Walmart, he gets aroused.” (2) William Falkingham, 34, was warned by police in Idaho Falls, Idaho, in August that he’d better stop wearing his large, black bunny-rabbit suit in public. One resident complained that his son had been frightened and that others were “greatly disturbed,” and besides, Falkingham sometimes wore a tutu with the bunny outfit. REDNECK CHRONICLES (1) Lon Groves, 40, was arrest-
ed in Fort Walton Beach, Fla., after a brief standoff with police in July following an incident in which he allegedly held a handgun to the head of his wife in an argument over which of their granddaughters was the wife’s favorite. (2) Pastor Daryl Riley of the New Welcome Baptist Church in St. Elmo, Ala., was tased, allegedly by the church’s music minister, whom Riley had just fired in August (which led another parishioner to pull a knife and begin stabbing wildly in a melee). Said the music minister’s mother, “He done cut (me) before anything started.” A NEWS OF THE WEIRD CLASSIC (MARCH 2006) Because perhaps hundreds of Japanese Yakuza gangsters are nearing retirement age, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has drafted rules for the former gambling, loan shark and protection workers to qualify for benefits, according to a March dispatch from Tokyo in The Times of London. Since organized gangs avoid paper trails, ex-mobsters must supply a letter acknowledging retirement from their crime boss in order to sign up, although local governments are expected to accept as provisional proof criminal records, gang tattoos and demonstrations of missing fingertips (traditional Yakuza punishment for misW takes).

OOPS! -- Larry Stone, jailed on property crimes in Tavares, Fla., because he could not make the $1,250 bail, posted the bond in July by earning $1,300 in telephone-company money after discovering a management error that credited his jail account $46 for every international call he pretended to make. (The company figured out the problem a day later and recovered all the payouts from the accounts of Stone and 250 other prisoners who had learned of the glitch. Stone’s bond was revoked, of course, and he was returned to lockup.) -- “Sorry, Honey. I Was Aiming at the Dog”: (1) Betty Walker, allegedly firing at the pit bull that she saw lunging at some children, hit the dog with one shot and her husband, 53, with a second shot, killing him (Jackson, Miss., July). (2) Brent Bader, allegedly firing at the family dog, instead hit his wife once in the head, killing her (Twin Peaks, Calif., February). (3) Samuel Campos, 46, allegedly firing to put away the family Chihuahua after having inadvertently wounded it the day before, instead hit his girlfriend, 41, killing her (Willits, Calif., March).
Wild Things: Motorist Clyde White of Corbin, Ky., was charged with attempted murder in August after police finally collared him following a road-rage chase that reached speeds of over 100 mph. White, who had repeatedly rammed his two siblings in their vehicle, is 78 years old, and in that other vehicle were his brother, 82, and his sister, 83.

f you weren’t affected by the flooding earlier this month, you might be sick of hearing people talk about it. But if you were one of the thousands of Northeastern Pennsylvania residents whose property was damaged, or worse, lost their homes entirely, then images of the rising Susquehanna will forever be etched in your brain like it happened yesterday. Because of that, the Weekender has joined forces with 98.5 KRZ to sponsor a three-part concert series that begins Wednesday, Sept. 28 to benefit flood victims. All proceeds raised from each show’s $10 cover will benefit the Wyoming Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross. “All proceeds will stay local to the victims of the flooding and will be used toward purchasing cleanup kits, sheltering, hot meals and comfort kits,” said Amy George, development coordinator of annual and planned

giving for the local chapter. While monetary donations are best because “that’ll allow us to buy items in bulk,” George said that the chapter is still accepting cleaning supplies, which remain a very needed commodity, as are personal hygiene products. The first concert will take place Wednesday, Sept. 28 at Brews Brothers West in Luzerne and will feature Six Guns Loaded, 6 East Band, Iron Cowboy, Rock Box and Gone Crazy. The second will occur Wednesday, Oct. 5 at Bar Louie inside Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs with Hostile Authority, Destination West, Pop Rox and Graces Downfall. The Woodlands in Plains Twp. will be the site of the third show Wednesday, Oct. 12 and will feature M80, Stealing Neil, Lemongelli and Tommy Guns Band. If you are unable to attend any of these shows and would like to make a donation, you can visit redcross.org or mail cash or a check to the Wyoming Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross at 256 N. Sherman St. Wilkes-Barre, PA 18702. Checks should be made out to the Red Cross and have the word “flooding” in the memo line.

Mike Mizwinski doesn’t want new group, Miz, to be just about him By Nikki M. Mascali Weekender Editor

or many, attending a Grateful Dead show can be “life changing.” But for Mike Mizwinski, who attended his first Dead show with his dad at age 9, it really did solidify the musical course his life would soon take.
Mizwinski’s parents met while attending music school at Marywood. His aunt and uncle play in the local band, Old Friends, and both his grandfathers were artists. “I think the combination of all that, it was just inevitable,” Mizwinski, who’s
more often called “Miz,” said during an interview at the Weekender’s office in Wilkes-Barre. Seeing the Dead, then, was the final piece of the puzzle for the musician who began sitting in with Old Friends by age 12. “We were very close to the stage, I was from here to, like, that window,” Mizwinski, 28, said, gesturing to a window about 10 feet away. “And that was a life-changing event.”
By the time he was 10, Mizwinski was writing music. “That’s all I wanted to do,” he shared. “I never wanted to do anything else. I never had even the slightest dream of doing anything else with my life — I’m not even that good at anything else,” he added with a laugh. Over the course of the past several years, Mizwinski’s made a name for himself as part of the local music scene and opening for the likes of

of me, definitely, but I’m definitely advancing. I write regular love songs.” Songs like “October Skies,” “Wink,” “My Irene,” and the Sept. 11 tribute “NYC Skyline” show that addiction isn’t Mizwinski’s only muse — on this album and subsequent ones. “I’ve been writing, and my new stuff is about all different things, there’s fictional songs … I’ve been writing stuff like that and different places I see and traveling, so I think I’m going to go through different phases,” he said. And though “East Hope Avenue” is set to be released this week, Mizwinski’s already thinking about its follow up, especially since he’s always writing and coming up with melodies. “I can’t not write. I can’t help myself. I always have a pen on me, and I always have a notebook in my back pocket,” he shared. “I can’t wait to do another album because this was a huge learning process. I’m looking forward to moving forward.” W

Though it hasn’t been released yet, the album has “dazzled” Mizwinski’s and Miz’s publicist, Dennis McNally, who is also the longtime publicist/historian for The Grateful Dead. “He’s an incredible songwriter,” McNally said of Mizwinski during a phone call from San Francisco last week. “I can say this really from the heart, I’m genuinely impressed. There’s a lot of guitar slingers around, but finding one with those type of songwriting chops, that’s not something I do every day.” McNally spent many years working with the famed songwriters of the Dead, especially Robert Hunter and member Jerry Garcia. “I’ve been exposed to fairly incredible songs,” he said. “I am not unique in saying that the weakest part in the jamband phenomenon has been an emphasis on playing. With all due respect with a number of people I regard as friends, the songwriting isn’t always that strong, and I don’t see that as a problem with Miz.” River Street Jazz Café music booker Tom Moran, who Alexander, Jump, Mizwinski, Stetz and White atop ‘The Brick Building’ on Rutter has worked with Mizwinski Avenue in Forty Fort.

George Thorogood and The Destroyers recently released ‘2120 South Michigan Avenue,’ a tribute to Chicago’s Chess Records.
Thorogood on the blues, Beatles and being bad By Nikki M. Mascali Weekender Editor

hen asked how he was during a phone call last week, George Thorogood said he was “bad.” “Bad to the bone, do you get it?” the jovial musician replied with a laugh while traveling in “one of the states in New England.” He swore to the government, you see, to never disclose his exact whereabouts. While he might always be “Bad To the Bone,” thanks to his popular 1982 song, things seem to be going pretty well for Thorogood and his band, The Destroyers, since its inception in 1974. The group — which also features bassist Billy Blough, drummer Jeff Simon, guitarist Jim Suhler and saxophonist Buddy Leach — released its 15th studio album, “2120 South Michigan Avenue” in July. Named after the location of Chicago’s Chess Records, the 13-song album features covers of some of the label’s greatest musicians: Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Howlin’
Wolf, Buddy Guy and more, plus a few new originals. “It was Capitol’s idea,” Thorogood said of the album. Following the success of The Destroyers’ 2009 Capitol album, “The Dirty Dozen,” which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Blues Albums chart thanks in part to the hit single “Tail Dragger,” the label took notice. “It got extremely a lot of airplay, and (Capitol) wanted more material like that,” Thorogood said. “They said they wanted an album of all Chess and for George Thorogood to pay homage to Chess Records, and the project kind of took off from there.” While the powers that be picked most of the songs on the album, Thorogood went through Chess’ extensive catalog with “2120 South Michigan Avenue’s” producer Tom Hambridge. “There was some stuff in there we knew we could do, some stuff we knew we couldn’t do, and then some stuff in there that I wish Chess had never done,” Thorogood stated, laughing. Fans will get to hear a few of these songs — along with many

hits — when George Thorogood and The Destroyers perform at the F.M. Kirby Center in WilkesBarre Tuesday, Oct. 4 at 7:30 p.m. “I try to give as many (new songs) as possible without booting any more Destroyer staples off the list,” Thorogood shared. “Right now, I think we have about three or four in there, which is good for us.” “2120 South Michigan Avenue” isn’t Thorogood’s first foray into covering the greats that came before him. Some of the group’s biggest hits have been covers of blues standards, songs like Hank Williams’ “Move It On Over,” Diddley’s “Who Do You Love?” and John Lee Hooker’s “House Rent Boogie/One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer.” Before making music his career, though, Thorogood seriously considered taking two other paths: Becoming a poet or a comic. During his interview with the Weekender, the musician was cracking jokes left and right, so it might be safe to say he might have done well in the latter field, too. “I had about 200 jokes in my repertoire by the time I was 13, and that’s where I thought I was going to go with my life,” he said. “Then I was watching the TV, and I saw this guy who was playing a guitar shaped like a violin, and he was playing it left-handed. And all these girls were screaming, and he was singing, ‘Close your eyes, and I’ll kiss you …’” Thorogood paused to break into The Beatles’ “All My Loving.” And when The Rolling Stones showed up, that was it for the young Thorogood. “I got real serious, and said, ‘I might be able to pull this off,’” he recalled. “I already knew a little bit about music, I played a little piano and knew I could master a musical instrument. When I got a band in high school and started performing, that put the hook in — it never went away. “It’s only worse now, it’s a disease — an incurable disease.”

novel approach Spellbinding 'Sixes'
“The Sixes” By Kate White Rating: W W W W W
By Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Staff Writer
I
t doesn’t happen often, but every now and then, you come upon a book that is so spellbinding, it grabs you in a psychological chokehold and doesn’t let go until the very last page. Kate White’s newest mystery whodunit, “The Sixes,” does exactly that, adding a dash of collegiate nostalgia and a hint of romance to make it the perfect read for the long, chilly nights that are fast approaching. Author of the Bailey Weggins mystery series and editorin-chief of Cosmopolitan magazine, White knows a thing or two about the logistics of mystery writing and the art of being sexy. In “The Sixes,” she combines those elements to create a fast-paced thriller peppered with fashion references and colorful descriptions — of the characters and the clothing. The book follows Phoebe Hall, a disgraced celebrity biographer accused of plagiarism who moves from Manhattan to a small college town in Pennsylvania run by her for-
mer boarding school roommate. After learning of a young girl’s drowning in a nearby river, Phoebe becomes obsessed with figuring out what caused her demise and stumbles upon a secret society of dangerous, powerful girls and a potential serial killer. To add to her confusion, Phoebe finds herself falling for a fellow professor whose past leaves lingering doubts in the reader’s mind. Throughout “The Sixes,” White wields suspect after suspect at the reader, planting suspicion in every single character. Each time it seems the answer is apparent, she hits you with a new piece of information that causes previous hypotheses to crumble. There is a lot of action, both fast-paced and quietly progressive, in “The Sixes,” but White keeps the facts pristinely straight and keeps the reader imbued with a curiosity that rages like an itch that can’t be scratched. She waits until the very end to effortlessly put the pieces in place, and when she does, there is the aching feeling that it was simply so obvious. White’s writing is elegant, yet down-to-earth. Her characters are so three-dimensional that it’s impossible to think of them as anything other than flesh-and-blood beings, and that likeability translates to an even more invested reading experience. One thing that is clear from the beginning of “The Sixes” is that a new novel from White cannot come soon enough. Reading this book will only leave you wanting more. Craving more from Kate White?

Motorola's Droid Bionic wows
I
guess I always considered Motorola the middle-of-theroad brand, as far as Androidbased smartphones go. The ubiquitous Droid, the Droid X, the Droid 2, and all of the others — all fine, top-notch phones — seemed to lack the flair of Samsung or the nice touches that made HTC phones more appealing, in my opinion. So, despite all the hype, I was somewhat skeptical of the Droid Bionic — I expected it to be “just another evolution” of the Droid product line. I was wrong. The design leaves no doubt that it’s from the same lineage as the Droid X and Droid 2 — the shape and size all clearly point to its
The Droid Bionic is $299.99 with a two-year contract or $589.99 without.

origins. But there was something different about it. The gleaming finish and softly curved corners lend an air of sophistication, for one. The choice of colors and material, for another, give the impression of quality. But the real magic starts when you hit the power button. One thing I have always liked about the Motorola-manufactured Android phones is their boot animation. Once you arrive at the “Home” page and start using the phone, one thing becomes clear: This phone is something special. I would characterize it as one of the most responsive smartphones I’ve seen to date — the interface is slick, smooth and
easy to use. The Dual Coreprocessors, GeForce GPU and 4G LTE transmission capability all come together to create an experience that can be described simply and in one word: Fast. There was no appreciable lag with anything I tried to do — webpages, videos, apps, Flash pages — the phone handled them all with equal aplomb. The display features a superior 256 pixel-per-inch density and was one of the most clear I’ve seen to date. The cameras (there are two, one forward facing, one rear) were excellent quality — the main camera is an 8 Megapixel model with dual flash (it can also shoot HD video) as is now standard of most high-end smartphones. The Bionic is $299.99 with a two-year contract. Otherwise, it’s $589.99. W

ALBUM REVIEWS Keeping it classic
Most country music sounds more contemporary than ever before, with singles seamlessly crossing over to Top 40 and mainstream radio stations. While Lady Antebellum, a trio made up of lead singers Charles Kelley and Hillary Scott and instrumentalist Dave Haywood, is contributing to that trend, it’s also doing something its musical competitors are not: Keeping a sense of nostalgia alive in its music. With its third album, “Own the Night,” the band proves that it’s capable of churning out the perfect contemporary country record while still paying homage to the sound that originally
made the genre, thanks to Scott’s vocals and the plucky throwback beats. The album’s perfection is almost formulaic, but what saves it from being cookie-cutter is the classic country feel that shines through on songs like “Cold As Stone,” “Singing Me Home” and “Love I’ve Found In You.” “Own the Night” opens on a high note with “We Owned The Night,” a song that boasts a chipper beat and contrasting lyrics. “Just A Kiss” is the token song about first-date butterflies, but its lyrics are relatable and the hook is just catchy enough. In fact, the album is full of
Psychoteria “I Think I’ll Just Stay Home” Rating: W W 1/2
Psychoteria's free-range sound It’s difficult to pinpoint exactly what Psychoteria is. Although it sounds like a complete band, it’s really more of a one-man show and the creation of Errol Antzis, a guitarist/composer who has been releasing albums under this name for quite some time.
melancholic ballads and anthemic, upbeat tunes. The perfect example is “Friday Night,” the chorus of which one can practically hear a crowd singing along to in a packed amphitheater. “As You Turn Away” is a romantic serenade plush with dramatic keys and Scott’s pitchperfect, wistful vocals, while “Wanted You More” boasts an edgier intro and backbeat. The album closer, “Heart Of The World,” is a sentimental exchange between his-and-her lyrics that wraps everything up nicely, addressing love in its many incarnations. Lovers’ lament is an overdone cliche in country music, but Lady Antebellum handles it throughout “Own the Night” with subtle grace and a modern take. Though the album smacks of crossover potential, the band hasn’t forgotten its roots. --Stephanie DeBalko Weekender Staff Writer
So given the fact that Antzis is the sole mastermind behind the music on Psychoteria’s third album, “I Think I’ll Just Stay Home,” it’s clear that he allowed himself free range when selecting what type of music to include on the album, and there’s really no limit to what will be heard on it. Antzis also plays bass, keys and drums, but did enlist the help of guitarist Jan Akkerman and drummer Jonathan Mover. One track that will take listeners by surprise is the jazz-inspired instrumental “Acting Class (R&B).” On the complete other end of the spectrum, the album’s title track has a psychedelic vibe that is both upbeat and pop infused. Antzis is definitely inspired by a psychedelic pop-rock sound on much of “I Think I’ll Just Stay Home,” including the very sappy cover of The Beatles’ “It’s Only Love.” “I Used To Be” is definitely one of the album’s standout tracks. Antzis’ lyrics are smart, resulting in an infectiously catchy pop-rock track. Collectively, it might be difficult for some listeners to get into this album, because each song is very different from the next. Luckily, Antzis is such a talented musician that individually, many of these tracks will appeal to those who appreciate his diverse style. -- Lisa Schaeffer Weekender Correspondent

The Static Jacks “If You’re Young” Rating: W W 1/2
Jacks' static debut Most people love to point to the music from their formative years and lament about how new artists just don’t have the same energy and ability.

Lady Antebellum "Own the Night" ness that energy and put out a form of rock that occasionally sounds like its modern indie peers, but also draws heavily from artists like The Misfits and The Ramones. The New Jersey quartet recently released its first fulllength album, the aptly-titled “If You’re Young.” The album gets off to a strong start with “Defend Rosie” and “Girl Parts,” but all too quickly seems to run out of steam. The pair of “Sonata (Maybe We Can Work It Out) and “Walls (We Can’t Work It Out)” is an interesting highlight near the midpoint of the album, with its homage to the mix of hope and disappointment that seem to be a constant of youth. But following that, the album seems to just drift along and barely has a pulse by the end. “If You’re Young” does a decent job of trying to capture lightning in a bottle, but the attempt at writing teenage anthems falls short. It lacks power and just doesn’t have hooks to pull listeners in. The band has talent, and hopefully one day this album will be seen as a moderately successful debut for a band which went on to have an amazing career. However, standing on its own, “If You’re Young” leaves a lot to be desired. -- Michael Irwin Weekender Correspondent

he word on Eva Katherine is that she’s an artist beyond her years. And after listening to her debut CD, “We’re Gonna Get There,” it’s clear that the word is true. The 12-year-old singer, who is quickly becoming a bit of a sensation here in NEPA, not only displays a wonderful voice, but also a remarkable maturity. On Wednesday, Oct. 5, Katherine will perform at the Weekender/Mountaingrown Original Music Series. And while the seventh-grade student admits it’s a big show for her and that it will be her first full live-radio broadcast, it’s really the type of thing she’s been preparing for as long as she can remember. “It was originally a Christmas gift from my parents that I would get one half-hour singing and piano lesson,” says Katherine. “That was when I was 6 years old. I took my first lesson, and that ended up being an hour every week, and I’ve been doing that for seven years. And then I started doing churches and high school football games, and then it evolved into, ‘Hey, would you come sing at my wedding?’ and ‘Hey, do you do shows?’ Everything just kind of snowballed.” Katherine names Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean and The Beatles as some of her favorites and influences. She also cites her producer, Bret Alexander, and his band, The Badlees, as having a strong impact on her music. She says her first venture into the recording studio also came courtesy of a Christmas gift from her parents, and that the original plan was to record an EP of covers to sell at her shows and simply give to family and friends. But after working with Alexander for a while at his studio, Saturation Acres, it was suggested she do a more in-depth album. The result is “We’re Gonna Get There,” a terrific collection
Eva Katherine, 12, has performed at Madison Square Garden and Musikfest, and her debut album is titled ‘We’re Gonna Get There.’ of country-flavored gems that also features a long list of regional all-star musicians. Many of the tracks were written by Alexander and two were penned by Carl Bell of Fuel. “Some were covers, while some songs were written specifically for me,” says Katherine. “I’m not really a writer yet. I write poems, and I write essays, but I’ve never really ventured into the world of songwriting. But a lot of those songs, I treat them like they’re mine.” She adds that she’s quite happy with the result. “I had to trust Bret a lot,” she says. “This was my little baby. But when I first heard the finished product, I knew that I had made the right decision by just letting Bret do what he does best. I could not have been more pleased.” Katherine has had a busy year with several high-profile performances. She has sung the National Anthem at the Little League World Series and also performed at Madison Square Garden in New York and at Musikfest in Bethlehem. Locally, she appeared at the final “Concert For A Cause,” on the
Weekender’s “Music First” stage at Montage Mountain prior to Sugarland and on WBRE-TV. In January, she’s heading to Nashville to perform on the internationally seen Shotgun Red Variety Show. Out of 2,500 singers, only 11 were invited. Katherine says she and her band are ready to rock the radio airwaves on Oct. 5. “Without music, we’d have a heck of a hard time expressing ourselves,” she says. “Music has completely changed my life. It’s like breathing to me. I can’t live without it. This is my first time doing a full performance on the radio, and I’m excited and really looking forward to it. I know we’re going to do some things we normally wouldn’t do. There might be a few surprises.” W

movie review By Pete Croatto
RATING: W W W
Weekender Correspondent
Brad Pitt, left, as Oakland Athletics’ longtime general manager Billy Beane in ‘Moneyball.’ Jonah Hill, right, plays his assistant, Peter Brand.
L
Entertaining, but flawed
ike last year’s masterful “The Social Network,” Bennett Miller’s “Moneyball” is an unconventional success story about a brash visionary with no tolerance for the usual way of doing business. That’s about where the similarities end. Miller’s misguided focus means that he can’t express anything as grand as David Fincher’s ode to the changing
American dream. Based on Michael Lewis’ hard-to-adapt 2003 bestseller, “Moneyball” covers the unorthodox strategy of Billy Beane (Brad Pitt), the longtime general manager of baseball’s Oakland Athletics. After a successful season in 2001, the cash-strapped team couldn’t afford to keep its high-priced talent. So Beane and his Yale-educated assistant Peter
Brand (Jonah Hill) embark on a new way to assemble a winning ballclub. Brand’s field of expertise is economics, and he loathes baseball’s traditional thinking. The goal, he says, should be to “buy runs.” It doesn’t matter if the player can’t field, can’t run or doesn’t hit a ton of homers. All that matters is getting on base. That leads to runs, which theoret-

sign language By Caeriel Crestin
Weekender Correspondent
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Acting out of anger rarely leads to anything good. While you certainly can’t help experiencing that emotion (nor should you try), allowing it to consume you or direct your choices will almost always make your life worse, not better. Choices made in anger or out of a desire for retaliation usually indirectly fan the flames of that rage and exacerbate matters. Feel your fury, but when it comes time to act, allow reason and rationality to guide your decisions. If you can’t do that right now, simply don’t act. Wait until you’ve got a handle on what you’re feeling and can consciously choose what you’re going to do next. Sure, you may still regret that decision, but if you act before you’ve cooled off, you definitely will. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Some secrets are kept because people are selfish or cowardly and don’t want to confess something awful they’ve done. However, sometimes keeping a secret is the more generous thing to do, since telling it would be a purely selfish and selfserving act (someone just looking for relief from guilt, for example). When trying to determine which is which, you must ask yourself if whoever you tell it to would be happier in the long-term (they’ll almost never be happier in the short-term, so forget that) if they knew and also who stands to gain the most from the revelation — you or them.
PAGE 28
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Sagittarians know better than almost anyone that the future isn’t written in stone. Anything can happen! However, that’s only as true as you make it. If someone decides that nothing’s going to change, the only changes they’ll see will be inevitable (and mostly negative) ones. To improve, we must try to make things better — and believe that they can get better. Since others’ optimism isn’t as advanced as yours, they could benefit powerfully from a strong dose of the kind of medicine you have on offer. Find those pessimists and show them how wrong they are. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Deal-breakers are deal-breakers. Ignoring explicit boundaries set out by others just because they don’t make sense to you may be understandable — but it’s still not acceptable. Sure, you’re free to make your own judgments about what’s OK and what’s not, but you can’t force those views on anyone else or lie to preserve their illusions. That will catch up with you. This week, concentrate on accepting what people say (and the limits they set) at face
HILARY DUFF September 28 1987 BRYANT GUMBEL September 29 1948 T-PAIN September 30 1985 RANDY QUAID October 1 1950 RIMA FAKIH (pictured) October 2 1986 ASHLEE SIMPSON October 3 1984 SUSAN SARANDON October 4 1946
value, whether or not you think they’re reasonable, logical or smart. They may be none of those things — and yet they’re still valid. Choosing to disregard them will not end well. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Other people’s baggage is not your problem. You don’t need to carry it for them or even make space for it. You have problems of your own, after all, which you’re handling mostly on your own. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have compassion for them, or make some allowances. You have your perfectly respectable and understandable boundaries and limits, but beyond those there’s no need to be a cold-hearted hard-ass. That’s not who you are, or ought to be. Offer up a little kindness, accommodation, or encouragement when you can, especially this week. It’ll go a long way. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) Maybe you’re more understanding than I am, but I don’t give flaky people that many chances. After a few disappointments, it’s all too easy to walk away — so I do. What’s to understand, after all? When they’re chronically late or absent to your plans together, they’re clearly saying, “I’m either unable, or uninterested, in taking your time and company seriously.” Why would anyone put up with that? Obviously, people deserve the benefit of the doubt at first, but eventually, you must conclude, “enough is enough,” and cut them loose. Has that time come? I think maybe so. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Witch hunts are pointless. The accused
parties deny the accusations, the accusers can’t produce proof, and the whole thing either becomes a senseless debacle or a reasonable stand-off, with hard feelings on both sides. This is one of those things you’re better off simply letting go. Whether the crime is filching your yogurt out of the office fridge or sleeping with your lover, keep your suspicions to yourself, since revealing them will only make things difficult, unpleasant and awkward for all concerned, and resolve exactly nothing. Even if it happened as you suspect, there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it now, so it’s better to just forget about it as best you can, and move on. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Don’t close the door to possibilities. You may be pretty sure you don’t want this to happen anymore. But if you really think about it, does that mean you don’t want anything to happen? Closing the door completely on this situation is so final, and probably unnecessary. It’s definitely time to change things up until they take on a new, more positive configuration. But ending them? That’s far too extreme. Can’t you invent the possibility of this turning into something great — perhaps, even, exactly what you wish it could become? The potential may or may not be there, but the only way you’ll know for sure is by giving it a chance. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) I’ve certainly met some people who are completely oblivious to their effect on others. They somehow don’t seem to notice that when they show up, conversation dies, and people escape whenever they can
— probably because they’re too busy talking to pay attention to inconsequential details like that. Don’t become one of these people. While being a meekly observant wallflower is pointlessly boring, erring on the side of listening more than you speak will earn you more friends and respect than running your mouth, no matter how funny, fascinating or otherwise entertaining you think you are. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Having such huge emotions makes Cancers, by default, a little more highmaintenance than most of your astrological peers. Thus you must constantly find ways to shoulder the burden of handling your own feelings and minimizing their impact on others. This doesn’t mean you need to be an isolated emotional island — just that when a tidal wave hits it shouldn’t wreak havoc on others’ shores as well as your own. You’ve been letting a little too much of your emotional weather rain on others’ internal landscapes. If the dark cloud of your mood is casting too big a shadow, fix that this week. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) While I certainly admire physical beauty, I tend to value cultivated beauty — things like being honest, funny, honorable, kind and insightful — much more highly. After all, having a gorgeous face or full head of hair takes zero ability — it’s pure dumb genetic luck. On the other hand, when people take the time to cultivate integrity, creativity and compassion, that requires skill, intention and effort, which I find much more admirable and attractive. This week, do your best to ignore physicality (easier said than done, I know) and focus instead on the kinds of loveliness that come from within. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Any long-lasting relationship requires intense cooperation between head and heart. Emotions are a funny thing — they don’t stay consistently strong long-term. That’s why you need conscious thought and choice to keep things together during the times when those feelings may be at more of an ebb. Finding ways to feel connected to other people even when you’re not feeling it especially intensely is this week’s challenge. However, I’m confident you’re up for it. Above all else, don’t sabotage things just because of whatever mood you may be experiencing right at the moment. That mood will pass, and I’m pretty sure you’ll be happier if your relationship’s W still there when it does. To contact Caeriel, e-mail sign.language.astrology@gmail.com.

“Good Morning America” and “Live! with Regis and Kelly.” The boys from San Diego just wrapped up a summer arena tour supporting Selena Gomez and the Scene. “We played the first show she ever played, but this our first time, not only touring with her, but touring with her in places this big,” Porter said. “It’s pretty dope.” 3OH!3 WINDS DOWN TO RECORD It sounds like an oxymoron, but 3OH!3 began to wind down last summer by playing some dates on Vans Warped Tour. “We’re kind of reaching the end of our cycle for this record (2010’s ‘Streets of Gold’),” Nathaniel Motte said. “We’re going to take some time off and kind of recuperate. And then we’ve been working progressively on a lot of material, and I’m excited to get time off, get some head space and go right in to making a new record, I think it’ll be fun.” Motte and partner-in-crime Sean Foreman are creating that LP in Colorado and California, with some past and new collaborators. No tentative date for the album has been announced yet. To hold fans over, the band released “Robot,” complete with a music video premiere on Will Ferrell’s “Funny or Die” website. W Listen to “The Ralphie Radio Show” weeknights from 7 p.m.-midnight on 97 BHT.

eptember is usually a month of celebration: Fall arrives, football returns, leaves turn, wardrobes change and school is back in session. But Allstar Weekend isn’t exactly celebrating on the new single, “Blame It on September.” The track is a single off its latest LP, “All the Way,” which dropped Sept. 27. “It was a disappointing situation,” lead singer Zach Porter recently recalled on “The Ralphie Radio Show.” Porter sat down with bandmates Cameron Quiseng and Michael Martinez to chat. “It was like a summer love, and then September (and) school came around, and we went to different schools, and she kind of broke it off.” Porter remembers being so heartbroken, he almost didn’t attend his school’s homecoming that sophomore year. But the frontman went to the dance, moved on (kind of), and still keeps in touch with the subject of the song to this day. However Porter and classmate Quiseng revealed that the girl does not keep up with the band — so she has no idea that the song is about her … yet. “If you actually look up some of the interviews about the song, we do drop her name,” Quiseng divulged. “But like Zach said, she doesn’t look at any of the videos.” This September, she’ll have a hard time avoiding Allstar Weekend.

hen Ray Bradbury wrote “Fahrenheit 451” in 1953 as a commentary on the potential downfalls of a television-obsessed society, he couldn’t have possibly known the significance it would have in 2011. In a world where movies and television shows are a click away, and thanks to iPads, iPhones and e-readers, even those interested
in reading are turning to electronic devices, the appeal of a good old-fashioned paperback or hardcover book has dwindled. Well, maybe not completely. There are still some people interested in saving the printed word, and they are behind the 10th Scranton Reads: One City, One Book, which is celebrating its decade of reading encouragement with an anniversary party on Friday, Sept. 30 at 4 p.m. at the Albright Memorial Library in Scranton. A month-long community event, Scranton Reads will
“With bookstores closing and e-readers and e-books and everything, this topic is more relevant than ever before.” Scranton Reads co-chair Sheli McHugh
be held throughout October with a dual purpose. “The whole goal behind it is to get everyone in the community to read one book and have a shared experience around that book,” said Sheli McHugh, Scranton Reads co-chair and cataloging and metadata librarian at the Weinberg Memorial Library at the University of Scranton. This year, that book is the

aforementioned “Fahrenheit 451,” a story set in a future society where reading is illegal and firemen start fires to burn books. “We thought, with it being the tenth year, we wanted to do something that had more importance about reading and the future of reading,” McHugh said. “So it kind of all ties together in that way. “With bookstores closing and e-readers and e-books and everything, this topic is more relevant than ever before. Some things within the book are really happening, so it’s a really good time to be having those conversations.” In addition to a slew of discussions, lectures and other activities relating to the topics in “Fahrenheit 451,” this year’s project features two new contests, a book cover redesign and an essay contest.
“(We’re) asking people to write an essay on what the world would be like without books or how technology has changed literature,” McHugh said. “And that’s open for students, and there’s an adult age-group as well.” All of the events happening throughout the month are free, and organizers of the event hope to not only appeal to a younger audience, but also to use the book as a unifying thread. “Everybody has so much going on, and everybody has different interests,” McHugh said. “And this is really a way to come together and talk to people that you don’t normally talk to that are outside of your circle. You can jump into a book discussion and really get to know your community through a work of literaW ture.”

As some of you may already know, Horror Hall is a 100% fundraiser for the Plymouth Township Fire & Rescue company; Tilbury Station. Due to the recent large scale flooding of the Wyoming Valley our facility is in use as a disaster relief center to assist our community. Our volunteer members are also busy helping our friends and neighbors with clean up efforts. Due to the massive scale of these endeavors, we will be unable to open and run Horror Hall 2011. We truly regret this decision, however it is necessary to allow us to focus on the task at hand. We would like to thank everyone for their past patronage and their anticipated future patronage. We will see you all next year for an even bigger and better frighteningly good time at Horror Hall 2012. Have a safe and Happy Halloween season. The members of the Plymouth Township Fire & Rescue Co.

I
t may not be a proven statistic, but it seems likely that support networks are a key factor when it comes to dealing with something as debilitating as cancer. That’s why events like the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk are useful not only for raising awareness and money, but also for providing cancer patients and survivors with the encouragement they need. Making Strides is a national event that will be held locally for the first time on Saturday, Oct. 1 at Wilkes University. Though there are currently about 28 teams slated to walk, single walkers are also invited to join. “I’m kind of creating a team of individuals this week,” said Tonyehn Verkitus, community income development specialist for the East Central Division of the ACS. “Just letting people know as they register, if I notice that they registered as an individual, come anyway, we will find someone for you to walk with. You will not walk alone.” Making Strides will be a milestone happening, as the ACS hasn’t done anything like it recently. “Of course, we have Relay
For Life, which is for all cancer patients and survivors and their families,” Verkitus said, “But we wanted to do something special, especially since Breast Cancer Awareness month has become such a huge deal. And also just because 230,000-plus breast cancer patients will be diagnosed this year, so it’s just one of the hugest percentages of cancer in women beyond skin cancer.” Donations are appreciated but are not a requirement for participating. “You can register online,” Verkitus said. “And when you do, it will ask you if you want to make a donation right then and there. You can choose to or not, and at that point you just register yourself and show up for the walk.” The organization has set a goal of $50,000, and one of the notable attributes of the event is that the majority of the money raised will stay local. “We use most of our money that is raised right in the community,” Verkitus said. “So we’re offering services to people who are facing breast cancer. We have Reach to Recovery, and that’s where a breast cancer survivor will provide one-on-one support to newly diagnosed patients that are within the community. And then we also do Look Good … Feel Better, which is also community based, and it teaches
women beauty tips to look and feel better about themselves while they’re going through chemotherapy and radiation treatment.” Though donations are vitally important to keep services like that alive, Verkitus stressed that this event is as much about promoting awareness as it is about raising money. “Obviously, I’d always like to have funds,” she said. “But I would love to see 5,000 people out there, in pink, supporting each other and just enjoying a great day.” W Making Strides Against Breast Cancer: Sat., Oct. 1, registration 7:30 a.m., event 8 a.m., Wilkes University, all ages. Interested in a team, contact 570.562.9749 or tonyehn.verkitus@cancer.org. Info: cancer.org.

caught up with Bridget Cavanaugh Payami, 27, of Waverly, a fashionista from head to toe. There’s no denying her talent of putting great ensembles together, so take a closer look at what this administrative assistant/ bartender finds fashionable and how she puts it all together. WEEKENDER: How would you describe your look? BRIDGET: Classic, but with an edge. WEEKENDER: What’s your favorite item in your closet right now? BRIDGET: You know, I actually have to say I like everything in my closet. WEEKENDER: What do you feel makes someone fashionable? BRIDGET: When they can pull it all together from head to toe, from their makeup to their shoes! WEEKENDER: If you could go on a shopping spree, what three stores would you choose and why? BRIDGET: I just love jewels, so it would have to be James Simrell Designs. James designs one-of-a-kind pieces in silver and gold for the woman like myself who loves to be one of a kind! Second would be Victoria’s Secret because it is comfortable, and you can dress it up or down. It’s
very feminine. And finally Lee’s Denim Diner in Clarks Summit. There is never a time I go into that store without leaving with two or three items. Dominica carries great lines. WEEKENDER: What fashion advice would you give a friend? BRIDGET: Are you comfortable? Do you feel beautiful? Then away you go! WEEKENDER: How do you go about choosing your outfit for the day? BRIDGET: First, consider what the day is like, then what catches my eye and makes me feel the best. WEEKENDER: Are you an accessory person? If so, what kind of accessories do you own the most of? BRIDGET: Earrings, bangles and rings! WEEKENDER: What outfit do you feel you look best in? BRIDGET: A Ralph Lauren Black Label dress. WEEKENDER: If you had nothing to do but lie around the house and watch movies, what comfortable outfit would you pick? BRIDGET: A “madeyou-look” T-shirt paired with Victoria’s Secret boyfriend sweat pants! WEEKENDER: When did you start to develop your own sense of style? BRIDGET: My mom and Aunt Julie designed my clothes since I was little. So being around that creativity for so long, I guess you can say I was very young, and I just knew what I liked and what I wanted. W

Justin outside Foxwoods Theatre for the production of ‘Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark.’ Below, a shot from the show.
E
very little boy wants to be a superhero. For me, it was Spiderman. As a 6-year-old boy in my Spidey underwear, I would lay nestled in my Spiderman sheets, watching the cartoon in complete admiration, wishing I could fly from skyscraper to skyscraper and possess the power of emitting web strings from my wrists in order to defend the good from evil. Like every little boy, however, I grew up. My admiration for superheroes dwindled away with the impact of reality slapping me in the face, telling me that superheroes don’t exist beyond the page of a comic book or the image of an action-packed movie. Be that as it may, my reverence for superheroes was revived when Broadway recently tossed aside its top hat and put its pimp hat on, proving that Pow! Crunch! Zonk! Bam! The most badass rock star is Spiderman! Last fall, you may have heard all the late-night shows poking fun at the injuries of stuntmen in the preview performances of “that new Spiderman musical.” It became a pop-culture sensation! Despite scathing reviews and unfortunate injuries, nobody could stop talking about it. The reason: There was something epic waiting to unfold. Proving there is no success without failure, the production of “Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark” became the prime example of the difference between winners and losers, which is that winners do things losers just don’t want to do. The show perfected its production through the longest preview period to
PHOTO COURTESY ‘SPIDER-MAN: TURN OFF THE DARK’
date, revamped the story and added new music from U2’s Bono and The Edge. Becoming the most expensive Broadway production in history, the show rose above circumstances and took control, which is something Spidey would totally do! With all of the attention the show was getting, I knew I had to see it. So, I took a day trip to New York via Martz Trailways, the perfect source of travel since it’s less expensive than driving and paying for parking (and they offer student discounts!). When I saw the groundbreaking show last Sunday at Foxwoods Theatre, I was blown away! Watching Spiderman do back flips, dozens of aerials through the crowd, and rock and roll to music that everybody could rock out to, I felt like a kid again. There wasn’t a bad seat in the house, as Spiderman popped up in the aisles and even flew into the balcony. Watching the show made me believe in the good in the world, and that despite downfall, you can always rise above ... W

MUSIC ON THE MENU
By Jeff and Amanda of 98.5 KRZ
Special to the Weekender Amanda’s Brag: I started and finished “The Help” within 48 hours. When was the last time a book drew you in so much that you literally did not want to put it down and read until your eyes got so tired you could hardly see the words on the page? Ever since I got the book in my hands, I’ve been telling anyone and everyone about it. It’s just that good. This is the first book, since high school, that I’ve been able to have book club-type conversations with friends about. Everyone seems to be reading it, and those that aren’t are being told they should. If you haven’t read it yet, I urge you to pick up a copy, even if you aren’t a big reader. There’s something about the flow of the book, the character definition, the sadness of the story, the heart that brings it all together and the way the author, Kathryn Stockett, brought so many real things full circle while throwing in some humor that made “The Help” one of the best books I’ve ever read. The author actually grew up in the South before the Civil Rights movement and wrote the book based on her true story. It’s about black maids working in white households in Jackson, Miss., during the early 1960s. With the movie adaptation in theaters recently, the book became more popular, and I found common ground and conversation with people I hardly know and friends who I would have never expected to be reading it. I don’t brag about books often, but Stockett nailed it. With the cool weather here, curl up with a good read … odds are, you’ll find that most of your friends are reading it, too. Jeff’s Bitch: Have you heard about the 290-pound stockbroker in New York who is suing hamburger chain White Castle because he can’t sit in their booths because he’s too big? I know, I know — you think I’m making this up or there has to be more to it. No. Mar-
Amanda finds Kathryn Stockett’s ‘The Help’ one of the best books she’s ever read — and something worth bragging about. tin Kessman is doing what seems to have become a national obsession: When you don’t get your way, or life isn’t working in your favor, you sue someone! Kessman has been eating at this one particular White Castle since 1959. He felt embarrassed that in 2009, he had ballooned so big, he could no longer squeeze into the booths in the restaurant. So he wrote White Castle three times demanding they make larger booths for people with his, uh, “problem.” The company wrote back three times with what he called “a condescending response.” It also included free hamburger coupons. Even that upset Kessman who wrote, “but the cheese was extra!” I’m not making this up. The company explained that the booths are constructed in one piece with a fixed distance
between the seat and table. But now Kessman feels White Castle is in violation of the American Disabilities Act. OK, this is where I can no longer be nice. Dude, you’re not disabled. You’re fat! You’re a big tub of lard who has decided eating yourself into the size of a small vehicle is more important to you than your health. This is America, and you have every right to live your life as you see fit. But stop playing the blame game. We have enough ridiculous lawsuits as it is. Get off your fat ass and walk … or ride a bike … or anything that gets you moving a little. Oh, and you might try a sensible eating plan, too. One last thought: You should be ashamed of yourself even comparing yourself to those who truly are disabled and need our help. Shame on you fatso! W

Don Fiorucci of Wilkes-Barre “The Bronco was the forerunner to all the SUVs we have today,” Meade says of the Bronco, which was created to compete against Jeeps and International Scouts and was successful. “I like owning a piece of automotive history. “It was rusted out pretty bad and was this horrible orange color when I picked it up about a dozen years ago. I had it restored, repainted and try to keep it all looking brand new. It’s not as smooth as riding in a car, but it is great to drive around in it and get the thumbs up and honks from people.”.

Raising pups to raise spirits
Pages & Places Book Festival Oct. 1, 9 a.m.-8 p.m., variety of downtown Scranton venues. Open-air book expo, Pages & Places Kids Fest, Civil War-themed Family Street Fair, all free on Courthouse Square. Veterans Writing Project will conduct information session, writing workshop free for area veterans. For tickets, info visit pagesandplaces.org. Pittston Memorial Library (47 Broad St., 570.654.9565, pitmemlib@comcast.net) • Author Talk/Book Signing, Jack Smiles: Sept. 29, 6:30 p.m. “Bucky Harris, a Biography of Baseball’s Boy Wonder.” Refreshments will be served.
Brody is one of six guide dogs in training that will represent VetDogs on Saturday, Oct. 1. “It’s the greatest experience to know you are helping people who need (these dogs),” O’Grady says. “For disabled vets, it gives them confidence — people are going to play with the dog and not stare.” You can find some of these stories on guidedogpup.com, where you can also find links to VetDogs.org and GuideDog.org. There’s a button there that’s calling my name: You can be a puppy raiser to help socialize the dogs before they go into full-time training for whichever area it’s best at, which is what the O’Gradys are doing with Chuckles. You get the dog at about 8-12 weeks old and keep it until it’s time to send it back to the center for training. I know, just when you are getting attached to the dog it has to go to school. “One side of us is going to miss her, but the other
side is glad that we know she is going to go out there and help someone who needs her,” O’Grady shares. The Pocono Motorcycle Ride will begin at McGinley’s Pocono Trail Lodge (Route 115, Blakeslee) and covers more than 60 miles of the Pocono Mountains before ending back at McGinley’s. Cost is $25 for the first rider and $10 for the second, which includes coffee and donuts before the ride and lunch at the lodge after and free Harley-Davidson sunglasses to the first 50 bikes. In case of inclement weather, the rain date for the ride is Saturday, Oct. 8. If you don’t feel that you can raise a puppy but want to help, come out — bikes and cars are welcome. Some of the puppies and staff from America’s VetDogs will be there. W

lose your eyes, and try to read this column. Close your eyes, and try to find your way to the kitchen. Close your eyes, and try to enter your favorite restaurant. Not so easy, is it? Imagine that you don’t have a right arm or a left leg and imagine trying to do all the things that you normally do each day. Not so easy, is it? How can you help? Simple: Come out on Saturday, Oct. 1 for the Pocono Motorcycle Ride to benefit America’s VetDogs. A VetDog is very similar to what you might already know as a Seeing Eye dog, only trained to perform different tasks than the traditional guide dog. Kay and Dennis O’Grady not only organized this ride, but also are raising a VetDog named Chuckles, a half Labrador/ half golden retriever puppy. The goal of this ride is to raise the $6,000 needed to sponsor a puppy. According to Kay, if you sponsor a puppy, you get to name it. That name stays with the dog for its entire life. The couple believes that Chuckles may have been named by a little girl. “My husband has four brothers with retinitis pigmentosa (RP),” O’Grady says. “We felt that if we got involved with this organization, they would have a better life.” Kay explained that GuideDogs.org is the overall umbrella program and that VetDogs spun off from that organization. In addition to Dennis’s four brothers who may need dogs as their RP degenerates, they also have a nephew who lost his right arm in Iraq and got to see the VetDogs in action as he recovered at Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, D.C.
