I don’t know about you, but I feel like October flew by. I don’t know exactly where it went, but I’m finding it really hard to believe that this is the last issue of the month. Before we know it — probably next week as Halloween candy goes on clearance Tuesday morning — Christmas music will pierce our eardrums, and the Oh-My-God-I-Haven’t-EvenThought-About-Starting-MyChristmas-Shopping panic will set in. It happens every year, and it grinds my gears every year. Don’t get me wrong, I adore Christmas. I love the family time, I love putting up my tree (except for the lights) and wrapping presents as the Yule log beautifully burns on my TV screen. And I even love Christmas music — eventually. I don’t know exactly when Halloween gave way to Christmas, skipping the glorious holiday that is Thanksgiving, but I
social
don’t like it. I can watch one of my favorite holiday movies, “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation,” 37 times a season, but I almost gagged this past weekend when I saw it on cable. Too soon! I think that we have become so accustomed to rushing everything along, that sooner or later, we’re going to look back and say, “When the hell did 2020 come along?” and not remember a damn thing. So let’s slow down, friends. Let’s enjoy the coming weeks between Halloween and Thanksgiving, let’s enjoy the crunch of leaves underfoot, the crisp autumn air, the big Turkey Day spread. Then — and only then — let’s let the Christmas season officially begin. (I’m talking to you, local radio stations. Don’t you dare put holiday music on before 6 a.m. Black Friday. I think there’s a law against it. And if there isn’t, there should be.) What’s your big gripe about the holidays? Share with me at letters@theweekender.com. Until next week, I’m going to enjoy autumn, the most wonderful time of the year. Thanks for reading! Nikki M. Mascali Weekender Editor

news of the weird By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
“Urban farming” is growing more popular among citydwelling progressives committed to eating local foods, but that usually involves gardens in backyards. For Robert McMinn and Jules Corkery, it means raising two chickens in their one-bedroom apartment in New York City — just to have a supply of fresh eggs. “I don’t think it’s the ideal situation,” McMinn told the New York Daily News in October. However, he said, the hens are “cute. They’re fun to (watch) run around. They’re excited when we come home.” On the other hand, he said, “(T)hey poop everywhere.” HAPPY FEET “My ultimate dream is to be buried in a deep ocean close to where penguins live,” explained the former Alfred David, 79, otherwise known in his native Belgium as “Monsieur Pingouin” (Mr. Penguin), so named because a 1968 auto accident left him with a waddle in his walk that he decided to embrace with gusto. (His wife abandoned the marriage when he made the name change official; evidently, being “Mrs. Penguin” was not what she had signed up for.) Mr. Pingouin started a penguin-item museum that ultimately totaled 3,500 items, and he created a hooded, full-body black-and-white penguin outfit that, according to a September Reuters dispatch, he wears daily in his waddles around his Brussels neighborhood of Schaerbeek.
QUESTIONABLE JUDGMENTS -- “Snakeman” Raymond Hoser, of Park Orchards, Australia, was about to be fined in August for violating his Commercial Wildlife Demonstrator License — by failing to keep at least three meters’ distance between his venomous snakes and the public — when he hit upon a defense: He would prove that he had de-venomized the deadly taipan and death adder snakes by allowing them to bite his 10-yearold daughter on the arm. (Though both bites drew blood, the girl was otherwise unhurt. Said Hoser, “(I)f they’d been venomous, she’d have been dead in two minutes.”) FINE POINTS OF THE LAW -- A judge in Nice, France, ruled in September that Article 215 of the French civil code (defining marriage as a “shared communal life”) in fact requires that husband and wife have sex. A husband identified only as Jean-Louis B. had evidently lost interest years earlier, and his wife was granted a divorce. Apparently emboldened by her victory, she then filed a monetary claim against the husband for the 21year-long lack of sex, and the judge awarded her 10,000 euros (about $13,710). -- It might well be “excessive force” if a sheriff’s deputy beats and pepper-sprays a black motorist who had been stopped only because the deputy saw the mo-
LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS Bank Robbers Not Ready for Prime Time: (1) Thomas Love, 40, was arrested in New Castle County, Del., in October after he had walked out of a WSFS Bank empty-handed. According to police, Love had presented a demand note to a teller, who couldn’t make out the writing and handed it back, provoking Love to flee. (2) Henry Elmer, 56, was arrested in Yuma, Ariz., in October where he had just sat down to enjoy a beer at the Village Inn Pizza Parlor. Police identified Elmer as the man who just moments earlier had robbed the Wells Fargo bank in the same block and “fled” the few steps to the Village Inn (which is also just across the street from the Yuma Police Station). RECURRING THEMES Soon, it might be absolutely impossible to get hurt in Britain — because of stringent health and safety rules. St. Mary’s Church in Cottingham announced it would go without an overhead light because government rules require that it rig scaffolding to change the light bulb in its 30-foot-high ceiling. (Using a ladder would be unsafe.) And following the August riots in London, hundreds of volunteers took to the streets to speed the cleanup process, but at several junctures, police turned them away, fearful that the civicminded workers lacked the sense to avoid cutting themselves on the broken glass and debris.

LATEST RELIGIOUS MESSAGES -- Polls report that as many as 57 percent of Russians “notice” signs of a “cult” surrounding Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, according to a September Spiegel Online dispatch, and a chief cult leader is “Mother Fotina,” 62, who has a following of thousands among Russian Orthodox practitioners and believes herself to be the reincarnation of Joan of Arc and Putin to be St. Paul. “God,” she said, “has appointed Putin to Russia to prepare for the coming of Jesus Christ.” Mother Fotina was a convicted embezzler in the 1990s, and critics suspect her devotion to Putin is a ruse to deflect law-enforcement attention. -- Sheriff’s deputies in Bergholz, Ohio, arrested three Amish men in October and charged them in incidents in which other Amish men and women had their homes invaded and their hair
(and men’s beards) cut off — supposedly grave insults. The three are part of an 18-family breakaway sect of Amish who were said to be exacting revenge upon mainstream Amish for insufficiently pious behavior. The “bishop” of the breakaways, Sam Mullet, 65, denied the arrestees were acting under his authority.
torist without a fastened seatbelt. A district court judge had concluded that the force was surely justified, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit said in August that excessiveness of force was for a jury to evaluate. (The deputy’s explanation: The motorist, waiting for the deputy to finish his report, was sitting on a curb eating a bowl of broccoli, and the deputy had to beat him down, he said, out of fear that the motorist would throw the broccoli at him and then attack him.)

won’t give ourselves time to.” The brothers came up with songs like “Food For The Soil,” which is “somewhat based on a man who took out life insurance policies on his kids and poisoned their Pixy Stix on Halloween.” Brian Langan drew the cover art for “Bonfire,” which is available on bandcamp.com for free or a $3 download and will soon be available on iTunes and other distribution sites. Family Animals, which also features Frank DeSando and Ryan Parks, plan to incorporate “Bonfire” into its live shows. “We feel the first two cuts are the ‘Halloween’ songs, and the last two are just songs that we thought kept the same vibe,” Viola said. “Bonfire” was the band’s first recordings with some new equipment it has, and Viola expected it won’t be the last. “Now that we have the versatility of recording at home, people can expect a lot more releases and more often from Family Animals. Hopefully, the future holds a full-length recording paired with a tour and some new W merchandise.” Find Family Animals on Facebook or Bandcamp

nspiration comes from many places, but for Scranton band Family Animal’s latest EP, “Bonfire,” the band looked no further than Halloween. “We all always loved Halloween as kids and ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ and horror movies and stuff,” drummer/ vocalist Anthony Viola said in an e-mail interview. “We also always wanted to do an actual Halloween-themed album pertaining more towards our heavier/ rougher music and were also inspired by the ‘Halloween Surprise’ video by one of our favorite bands, locals And the Moneynotes.” So at the end of September, Viola, and his brother, band guitarist/vocalist Jesse Viola, decided to finally act on their love of the upcoming holiday. They wrote, performed, recorded, mixed and mastered “Bonfire’s” four songs in just four weeks, taking a fast-deadline approach from their other muses, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of “South Park,” who produce most of their episodes the week before they air. “They said they tried to write stuff a couple weeks beforehand, and it always comes out not as funny and over-thought,” Anthony Viola said. “This just made a lot of sense to us ’cause our last album was done with no time frame, and when we had all the time in the world to do it, we over-thought it and secondguessed it. So we thought whatever we come up with, we’ll lay down and just release it — we won’t over-think it ’cause we

fell in love with his instrument after hearing the blues harmonica player Don Brooks play at a coffee house in the ’60s. Now, Nelson’s unique style helps to keep Raphael on his toes. “That’s kind of been my school,” he explained, laughing. “Because (Nelson) encompasses all kinds of genres of music. From country to jazz to blues, I mean he covers everything, you couldn’t put a label on it. So I’ve had to be able to fit in or play a lot of different styles.” That lack of pigeonholing adds a sense of surprise to live shows, since no one in the band knows exactly what’s going to happen. Nelson has even debuted new songs in the middle of a set. “Live shows, anything can go,” Raphael said. “There’s no set list, so basically, Willie starts the songs, and we follow. Everybody’s been playing these songs for 30 years or more. We know the tunes, but we never know what he’s going to do.”
Willie Nelson and Family: Sun., Oct. 30, 8 p.m., Penn’s Peak (325 Maury Road, Jim Thorpe). $59.25-$64.25. Tickets/info: 866.605.7325, pennspeak.com

ickey Raphael’s career as the harmonica player planted firmly alongside Willie Nelson began almost three decades ago in the casual way one would expect. Raphael knew Darrell Royal, the coach for the University of Texas at Austin, who was a friend of Nelson’s and a music aficionado. “(Royal) got word to me in Dallas that they were having a little pickin’ party,” Raphael explained in his slight twang when he checked in with the Weekender from his home in Nashville, Tenn., a few weeks ago. “I think Charley Pride was there, Willie was there, several other singer/songwriters. And that’s when I first met Willie, and he heard me play, and he said, ‘Oh, if you’re ever around,
Family make a jaunt through the area at Penn’s Peak in Jim Thorpe on Sunday, Oct. 30. As for Raphael, he has his own reasons as to why he thinks his relationship with Nelson is so symbiotic. “Just a mutual respect on his part, and me, I guess it’s and we’re playing somewhere, idolatry,” he said, laughing. “He come sit in.’ still surprises me every night “I didn’t know who Wilwith his guitar skills. And we lie was, and I had no country play well off each other, and background. I kind of grew up, we know how to listen. That’s at that time, with The Rolling Stones and The Beatles and The something he’s really taught me, Band and (Bob) Dylan and Neil is that less is more.” Raphael has worked with Young. So that’s kind of where my music tastes lay, but hearing artists across the spectrum, from Willie for the first time, it really Motley Crue to Kenny Chesney, and he attributes the growth got my attention.” he’s experienced as a musician And obviously, he got Wilin part to working with Nelson, lie’s. who released his latest CD, Raphael, with a warmth and “Country Music” last year. kindness that transcends phone “Playing with Willie has just lines and stage lights, is prebeen a great proving ground, cisely the kind of person you because he’s somewhat of a jazz could imagine sitting around with, drinking beers and making musician,” he said. “His timing is very unique, and the chords music. It’s a no-brainer that he and Nelson get along, on and off he plays are jazz chords, and it’s been a real test to keep up with the stage, and fans will get to see that compatibility for them- him.” In junior high school, Raphael selves when Willie Nelson and
side from a little unpredictability, life on the road with Nelson seems to be very low-key. “I get up, I might go over to his bus about 10 or 11 and have a coffee with him,” Raphael said. “And he’s either listening to Sirius Radio, the Willie channel or whatever, or watching cowboy movies or visiting with his sister, or he might go for a bike ride — we both have bicycles out on the road.” Of course, we’ve all heard the stories about Nelson’s penchant for a certain psychoactive drug. He was arrested and charged for possession of marijuana found on his tour bus in western Texas last year, and he’s co-chair of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws advisory board. Raphael noted that since he wasn’t present for Nelson’s arrest, he can’t really talk about it. “There’s three buses, so there’s smoking, non-smoking and then Willie’s bus. I ride on the non-smoking bus, so I don’t really know what goes on on any of the other buses … But, I mean, it doesn’t take great police work to bust him. And he doesn’t deal drugs.” He did use a bit of humor to neutralize the situation. “We just played a big concert for the Texas Sheriffs’ Association after all that trouble, so nobody’s taken it personally,” he said, laughing. The show at Penn’s Peak falls on the night before Halloween, and when this was brought to Raphael’s attention, he joked that it might be the perfect opportunity to fulfill one of his minor aspirations. “I wonder if we should dress up,” he said. “I always wanted to come out on stage as the Village People.” Raphael jokingly intimated that Willie might be up for it. “Well, he could be the cowboy, I guess,” he said. “We can just get him in short pants.” W

“Starmaker” By Jay Bernstein Rating: W W W 1/2

PAGE 16
Join the Weekender this Saturday at Kildare’s, Scranton for our Halloween Party!
very second of every day, some starry-eyed teenybopper is dreaming about the bliss of moving to Hollywood and getting rich and famous overnight. Sure, that happens once in a blue moon, but most of the people who head west in pursuit of fame and fortune don’t achieve half of what they’re hoping for. And those who do usually end up paying a steep price. In the new book, “Starmaker: Life as a Hollywood Publicist with Farrah, the Rat Pack and 600 More Stars Who Fired Me,” personal manager, publicist and producer Jay Bernstein (as told to Larry Cortez Hamm with David Rubini) tells a cautionary tale about the pitfalls and perils of Tinsletown. The stars in the book are of a different generation, and it’s likely some people will scoff at the mention of them (Farrah Fawcett? Suzanne Somers?). But for an insider’s look at the glamorous world we all perceive Hollywood to be, Bernstein does a pretty decent job of giving the gritty details — when he’s legally allowed to do so — even when it makes him look chauvinistic and
conniving. In Bernstein’s Hollywood, the stars are what make the movies, not the other way around, and although Hollywood is still a literal and figurative place that holds some of its former tales of lore, the parameters for reaching fame have changed. Today, you no longer need to be a good actor or land a ton of roles. You just have to make a sex tape and let the world watch you fight with your family, and fame and fortune come rolling your way. And though “Starmaker” is a nostalgic look at the film and television industries, it’s by no means romantic. Bernstein worked his tail off, and his inside perspective puts smudges all over Tinsletown’s shiny veneer. The major downfall of the book is that there is so much information that some of the best bits get lost in the shuffle. Bernstein had quite a few tricks up his sleeve when it came to making deals and dough, but one person’s erratic and aloof attitude gave him a run for his money: Frank Sinatra. It’s stories like the ones about Frank and the rest of the Rat Pack, along with his anecdotal tales about some of his publicity ploys, that make the book worth reading. The afterword in “Starmaker” notes that Bernstein, who was collaborating with Hamm, passed away suddenly in 2006 before he could write more thoroughly about some of his other Hollywood cohorts. Hamm also passed away in 2009, so though the book is bursting with reminiscences, there is much more that has been left unsaid. Bernstein was in his prime in the ’70s, when Charlie still had his Angels and ThighMaster wasn’t yet a twinkle in anyone’s eye. He’s responsible for some of the most iconic faces in film history, whether the general public realizes it or not, and his honesty about his own behavior and motives, as well as those of his clients, make “Starmaker” an amusing, if slightly superficial, read.

Almost a Breakout
B
efore encountering the Breakout, I didn’t give Pantech products a second thought. I’d heard of the company, but I didn’t know much about it. It turns out that it’s South Korea’s third largest mobile phone producer, just behind Samsung and LG — names that are widely known and wellrespected. I didn’t have any expectations one way or another when I cracked open the box and powered up the phone. I noted that it was extremely light, compared to my HTC Thunderbolt. From a style perspective, the

Breakout bears a passing resemblance to some Samsung devices: Muted chrome trim, tapered edges, etc. It does have some physical buttons on the front, bucking the trend of integrated, touch sensitive hard keys. The underside of the case is rubberized and feels sturdy. It’s textured, not just for decoration, but, as I later noticed, it will stay put if I place it at a modest angle on a slanted surface. The Breakout is surprisingly capable for its price. It’s a 4G device, with high-speed data Pantech’s Breakout is and front and rear facing campleasantly surprising, but lacks battery life. eras.

of more than 400 hours of standby time. The breakout manages 350. That might not seem like much of a difference, but it meant that I had to charge it more often than other devices. At a guess, I’d say they sacrificed battery life for lighter weight. Overall, if you’re not obsessed with camera resolution or processor speed, the Pantech Breakout represents a good buy for the price. The shorter battery life compared to other top of the line devices wasn’t a hindrance. The Breakout is available from Verizon Wireless for $99, with a W contract.

higher-end models is the 5megapixel camera (which is still fairly crisp), but it can still capture high-def video. It has a 1 Ghz processor, which is plenty powerful, although many higher-end devices are now sporting dualcore chips. Other than that, this device is every bit as capable as a top-of-the-line Android device. I was pleasantly surprised at the interface. Pantech has done a good job of customizing things, but it’s user-friendly while being unique. The device is snappy, with no noticeable lag (I can’t say it’s as fast as a Droid Bionic, but it’s not supposed to be), and there were no unpleasant surprises while I was using it. One thing I found lacking was battery life. Some newer devices can claim a battery life

ALBUM REVIEWS
Escaping into maturity Jane’s Addiction has always been a band that walks the fine line between genius and madness. While on paper, the band’s career spans more than 25 years, during that time Jane’s Addiction has disbanded and reunited numerous times (occasionally with extensive gaps between the two) and, at times, is more “off ” than “on.” And, despite the band’s large following, Jane’s has released a grand total of just four studio albums, most recently “The Great Escape Artist,” which is its first in more than eight years. While album opener “Under-
ground” starts off sounding like a classic Jane’s Addiction tune, the tempo and energy that one might expect never really develops. In fact, as “The Great Escape Artist” plays on, an overriding theme of reflection and introspection becomes apparent — especially with tracks like “End To The Lies, “Irresistible Force” and “I’ll Hit You Back.” Only on the closing track, “Words Right Out Of My Mouth,” does the band turn up the volume at all, and by that point, it serves mainly to put a period on the end of the sentence that is the album. Throughout the length of
Machine Head “Unto The Locust” Rating: W W W W 1/2
Machine's metal masterpiece San Francisco thrashers Machine Head turned metal on its ear in 1994 with its debut, “Burn My Eyes,” an utter concrete slab of music that helped usher in a new era of sonically dense metal post Pantera. After a few bumps in the road, the band redeemed itself big time with 2007’s intricately intense “The Blackening.” Machine Head continues that forward
“The Great Escape Artist,” the music has a light, spacey feel that is punctuated and overlain by Perry Farrell’s, somber, echoing vocal work, with song lyrics that make the listener feel as though he or she is being told a tale by someone who is grizzled and tired, yet still proud. With the turbulence of youth well behind, Jane’s Addiction has been able to create a more mature, more developed album in “The Great Escape Artist.” While it has none of the erratic spontaneity that was a trademark of the band’s sound in its youth, these songs are still poignant and powerful. It is a perfect piece to mark this era of Jane’s Addiction’s career, when the band has reached the point where it has nothing left to prove but still has a lot to say. -- Michael Irwin Weekender Correspondent
progression and further redefining of heavy with “Unto The Locust.” Kicking off with an eerily unsettling choral chant before slamming into frontman/guitarist Robb Flynn’s familiar, gloriously detuned guitar chugging, the epic eight-minute, three-sectioned “I Am Hell (Sonata in C#)” is as violently fast and aggressive as anything the band’s ever done. “Be Still And Know” features intro harmony licks ripped from the playbook of Avenged Sevenfold’s guitarist Synyster Gates, with a dark lyrical/melody line that gives way to some of Flynn and lead guitarist Phil Demmel’s finest six-string venom. The disc successfully integrates the classic Machine Head crush with contemporary nuances, like the rubbery guitar pulse in “Locust,” and a vocal approach ironically taking its cue from the generation of metalcore bands Machine Head inspired, a la Killswitch Engage. Flynn growling the would-be war cry “in madness we shall reign” amid a flurry of tempo changes in the nightmarish “Pearls Before The Swine” shows the band still smacks of brutality 20 years in. Easily accessible to youngbloods reared on Bullet For My Valentine, yet never alienating the old-school Overkill and Testament-bred thrashers, “Unto The Locust” is the crossover metal masterpiece that should truly bring Machine Head to the masses. -- Mark Uricheck Weekender Correspondent

Alesana “A Place Where The Sun Is Silent” Rating: W W 1/2
Daunting Dante Alesana is a concept-album aficionado, having paid homeage to Greek mythology, fairy tales, and now, with “A Place Where The Sun Is Silent,” “Dante’s Inferno.” The result is a heavy, almost lofty outing split into “Act One: The Gate” and “Act Two: The Immortal Sill” that melds the emo-ish vocals of Shawn Milke and

Jane’s Addiction “The Great Escape Artist” screaming of Dennis Lee with opulent orchestration and airy backing vocals courtesy Milke’s sister, Melissa. The siblings’ vocals play nicely off each other on “The Dark Wood Of Error.” “A Forbidden Dance” gives the first taste of Lee’s demonic growling. “Hand In Hand With The Damned” is radio friendly (and lighter than its title). “Beyond The Sacred Glass” is nearly poppy, thanks to Milke, so it’s off-putting when Lee does the same lyrics in the background. “The Temptress” could be a standout, but Lee again distracts. “Vestige” is the album’s star, with its jaunty, vaudeville turn midway through before it fades on tinkling piano. Act One closer “Lullaby Of The Crucified” is symphonic, complete with a choir that adds depth. “Act Two” begins with sweeping violin and piano on “Before Him All Shall Scatter,” “Labyrinth” is melodic, building up into a bone-crushing frenzy before tapering off, and “The Fiend” has gorgeous cello and violin behind frantic guitar. “The Wanderer” is a short dirge twirling like a music box while “A Gilded Masquerade” starts slowly and softly, before blasting in with Lee’s growls. “A Place Where The Sun Is Silent” deftly shows Alesana’s ambition and lyrical prowess, but there’s a pretentiousness that makes one wonder how long fans will put up with — and understand — it. -- Nikki M.

Carla Reck, Kay McClintock and Dawn Winarski in a scene from the Actors Circle production of ‘Hay Fever.’
'Fever' pitch By Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Staff Writer
PAGE 24
T
here are plays that translate beautifully to adaptations, sometimes turning out better than the original version, and there are plays that simply stand the test of time as is. According to Paul Winarski, director of the upcoming Actors Circle production of Noel Coward’s “Hay Fever,” the comedy falls into the latter category. “(It is) very hard to update something like Coward,” he explained. “Whereas with Shakespeare, you’re able to add different situations on, putting it in different time periods. With Coward, like Oscar Wilde or Tennessee Williams, it plays best when set when the author intended.” “Hay Fever” was written by Coward in 1924 and is set in a country home in England, following four members of the eccentric Bliss family and their respective guests. The family’s bickering and self-absorbed actions cause the guests to leave, unbeknownst to the family. The Actors Circle production of the piece will be presented Oct. 27-30 and Nov. 4-6 at Providence Playhouse in Scranton. Winarski is a self-described
aficionado of Coward’s works, and having previously directed this particular piece in the late ’90s, he holds it in high regard. “Coward’s works, especially ‘Hay Fever,’ are filled with biting humor and social commentary,” he said. “It’s really a delightful play, and most critics consider it, of his canon, one of the best. Probably, they actually do consider it his masterpiece.” The play focuses more on the theatricality of the characters than the plot, using their overthe-top personalities as a vehicle for carrying the show. “I think when you’re dealing with a play that is not plot driven but more character driven, it’s more essential to get out what people mean when they say it as opposed to what’s happening in the plot, if that makes sense,” Winarski said. Winarski’s wife, Dawn, who portrays one of the guests, agreed that the personalities are exaggerated. “Usually they’re always saying be as realistic as possible,” she said. “And although (the play) is still grounded in that, everybody’s quirks are heightened a bit.” That element, combined with the style of humor Coward employed in his original script, adds an extra layer of complexity to putting on the production.
“Henry Irving said, ‘Dying is easy, comedy is hard,’ and British comedy, definitely so,” Paul Winarski said. “It’s all in the timing. It’s pace, it’s rhythm. It’s not just what you say, it’s how you say it.” But he noted that the payoff was worth the extra work. “The nice thing about doing this show now, every decade or so Noel Coward becomes front and center again in theater circles,” he explained. “In 1999, it was his 100th birthday, so they dedicated a theater to him in London, unveiled a statue in New York. And since then, at least every five years, a play of his has been mounted in New York, on Broadway, consistently. “They’re reviving ‘Private Lives’ next … So it’s nice to know that we in Northeastern Pennsylvania are still on the same theatrical pulse as New York and London.” W

Weekender Music Columnist
5 Ton Jack mixes up the music W
hen the band 5 Ton Jack is trying to decide what music to play, it seems that it harkens back to an old line from The Kinks: “Give the people what they want.” Sure, the group peppers its sets with some of its personal favorites. But more often than not, the songs are chosen by the people, and the band’s shows include songs by everyone from Nickelback to Lit, Metallica, Blink-182, Johnny Cash, Lady Gaga, AC/DC, Journey and Drowning Pool. “What’s that?” you might say? “Johnny Cash, Lady Gaga and Drowning Pool? In one set?” Indeed. “We’re out there,” says drummer Billy Caufman. “It’s a science, actually. Before picking a song, we go out to see what bands are doing or to local bars to see what people are putting on the jukebox. And that’s how we incorporate a song into our set list.” 5 Ton Jack, based out of the Poconos, also features Jason Kroeger on lead vocals and guitar, Chad Gaul on lead guitar and vocals and Adam Shook on bass and vocals. Caufman says the band prides itself on its meat-and-potatoes style. “There are no fancy disco lights and no extreme technical sound system to make us sound like someone we are not,” he says. “It’s just straight-up rock ’n’ roll with horsepower with one goal: To keep people dancing from the first song to the last. Make no mistake about it, this is not your typical band that just got up one morning, made a list of songs, and decided they were rock stars.” What it has decided, however, is to be old-school entertainers. And the varied set list is just a part of the way it goes about it. “It does get people dancing,” says Caufman. “We always get comments afterwards, asking us, ‘What made you try that?” or ‘What made you do that?’ And we tell them, ‘It’s all for you.’ We do it for the audience. We know what they’re dancing to. You’ve got to

entertain the crowd. They come out to be entertained. And we incorporate the crowd into the show … getting them to sing with us, bringing them up on stage with us, going out and singing with them. Our guitarists even go out and dance with them.” When pressed to name the band’s own personal favorites or music influences, Caufman says it’s the big, hard-rock sounds of the ’80s. “In all honesty, I still think — to this day — that they were some of the most talented musicians,” he says. “Some of the songs … the technicality of the guitar playing and the leads, it’s phenomenal as compared to what’s out there in today’s music. I love today’s music, and we all love every kind of music, but the bottom line is today’s music has been shrunk down to just the lyrics and some guitar licks. That’s my opinion.” Future plans for 5 Ton Jack include an EP of original material. It’ll perform at Johnny’s II in Le-
highton Saturday, Oct. 29 and at the New Penny Lounge in Scranton Saturday, Nov. 5. And for a band that places so much emphasis on pleasing others, Caufman also makes it clear that they themselves are having a blast. “Our band has been together for three years, and it’s the original members from day one,” he says. And it’s probably going to stay that way for many years to come, or until the end of the band, because of the way we all gel with our music. We’ve got Chad that’s an ’80s guitarist, that also brings that dirty grunge sound, and Adam, who can play bass right up there with Flea. His fingers move like lighting. And Jason’s got that Nickelback sound in his voice. And I think I’m Tommy Lee. We love going out and entertaining. We love music. And we all love to play it.” W Info: facebook.com/5tonjack.live, 5tonjack.com

movie review By Pete Croatto
Rating: 1/2 W
Weekender Correspondent
From left, Logan Lerman, Luke Evans, Ray Stevenson and Matthew Macfadyen in a scene from ‘The Three Musketeers.’
“
A classic turned farce
The Three Musketeers,” the latest adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ beloved 1844 novel, is so geared toward the lowest common denominator that it should be 70 minutes long and only feature words fewer than three syllables. This is less of a movie than a studio-issued mandate to entertain us in the most garish way possible. Director Paul W.S. Anderson’s zeal would be
admirable if it weren’t so insulting. Anderson (“Resident Evil”) introduces us to France’s trio of 17th century heroes, who sport vague accents and apparently have easy access to a Hair Cuttery. Athos (Matthew Macfadyen) is the depressed, intelligent leader. Aramis (Luke Evans) is the stealthy killer who prays for his victims. Porthos (Ray Stevenson) is the trio’s bawdy brawn. They
fight for France, but lose their passion after double agent Milady de Winter (Milla Jovovich, Anderson’s wife and frequent muse) dupes Athos and the boys, taking up with England’s evil Duke of Buckingham (Orlando Bloom). A year later, the patriots are revitalized after meeting young country boy and aspiring Musketeer D’Artagnan (Logan Lerman, also impossibly groomed), who is quick with a sword and fearless with the ladies. Soon, all are protecting the oblivious and young King Louis XIII (Freddie Fox) from his advisor, the duplicitous, power-hungry Cardinal Richelieu (Christoph Waltz) and his cohort, Milady, who has reemerged with
more evil intentions and stillpouty lips. From the opening scene, which belongs in a James Bond installment, we are bombarded with well-choreographed, highly stylized action scenes featuring heavy artillery and shots stolen from “The Matrix.” A giant question soon looms: If Anderson is so intent on modernizing the source material, why bother setting it in 17th century Europe? Anderson easily could have used the skeptical-veterans-take-on-a-newcomer storyline and made a movie about Chicago hit men or unflappable astronauts. What’s onscreen is co-opted creativity at its worse, the dreaded “new-spin-on-a-classic” approach (e.g., Russell Brand’s “Arthur”). And it’s available in 3-D, kids! So, we don’t just have a female conspirator, but a lingerie-wearing acrobat who glides around like Uma Thurman in “Kill Bill.” We have characters brandishing two old-fashioned pistols like they’re in a John Woo movie! There are airborne pirate ships battling it out in stormy skies, Aramis dressed as a black-ops assassin, and just put a
straw in my jugular. Since Anderson has no sense of parody, everything is portrayed as utterly normal, which only adds to our rage. For all the witty banter between our charismatic, engaging heroes, who are easily the best part of the film, couldn’t someone just admit how ludicrous this whole adventure is? That no one does is why “The Three Musketeers” is a vexing experience. It doesn’t concentrate on origins or characters or plot. The movie illustrates why so many people have turned to cable television to satisfy their cravings for stories and dialogue and characters. Too many movies, regardless of genre, fail to engage the audience beyond spectacle. In “The Three Musketeers,” Anderson spends close to two hours doing everything but jangling his car keys in front of us. That does not suffice. As filmmaker Jeremiah Kipp once wrote, “it takes a brain to be entertained.” Read more of Pete’s musings on whatpeteswatching. blogspot.com or follow @PeteCroatto on Twitter.

Weekender Correspondent
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) While it may feel important to focus on your worst traits, in order to improve upon and evolve past them, that’s not always the best strategy, especially when those negative aspects tend to eclipse all your most wonderful qualities every time you look in the mirror. I think wanting to become a better person is, of course, an admirable intention. I also agree that completely ignoring or blinding yourself to your faults isn’t a great idea. However, I still think your best strategy — at least this week — to transform into your best self is to deliberately and consciously focus on your best attributes, and use them to create more love, joy or beauty in the world. The rest will mostly take care of itself. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Like me, you think honesty is one of the most important and admirable qualities in a human being. However, while telling the truth is something more people should do more often, there are times when withholding it will serve everyone better. Many relationships survive because of lies people tell each other, and while I know you don’t want that, it’s also true that an ill-timed or ill-thought truth can kill a relationship. Of course, when the truth is important, it must be told regardless, but when it’s not vital, it’s occasionally better for all concerned if you just keep your mouth shut.
PAGE 28
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Stop worrying about stuff that probably won’t happen. It’s not the least bit helpful. Preparing for the worst-case scenario may seem like a practical idea, but it’s unhealthy to focus on such morbid eventualities unless you have some real evidence they’re likely to happen soon. Go ahead and buy that insurance plan or take a precaution or two if it gives you comfort or peace of mind, then simply and completely let it go. It’s not naivete to focus on all the positive stuff in your life; it’s a key element to simply being happy. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) I think it’s sweet that you want to carry the weight of your cares and responsibilities alone, lest you burden those close to you. I also think it’s stupid. Sure, you may be able to shoulder this stuff solo, for a while, but you’ll have nothing left to help other people carry their shit. You’ll also be depriving those who care about you a chance to help you out, which they’d dearly love to do. So much of life is our connections to other people, and sharing burdens and responsibilities is part of that. When

someone asks to help, let them. Then when someone asks for help, you’ll have it to give. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) What’s a deal-breaker for virtually everyone else isn’t always a deal-breaker for you — but maybe it should be. I admire your open-mindedness and willingness (and ability) to forgive and move on, but this isn’t just about you. Consider what your acceptance might mean to the other person. Are you really doing them a favor? Or would it actually — even though it feels harsh — be kinder to say no? Before you go any further down this path, consider if that’s a real possibility, then have the courage to pursue it if you decide that that’s probably what’s best. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Many Aries are a bit spoiled. You’re charming and wonderful in many ways, but you can — especially when you’re young — also require tremendous indulgence from those around you. That’s OK. Those who couldn’t deal with that split a long time ago. Most Rams eventually outgrow their bratty behavior. When you do, though, don’t expect a lot of special treatment, pats on the back, and congratulations for finally stepping up. This, after all, is probably what you should have been doing all along. Accept that not getting recognition for it is also part of this evolutionary process, swallow your pride, and get on with living life without being a spoiled brat. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
There are certain areas in your life that are and should remain sacrosanct. If what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, then what happens in these areas (your bedroom, for example) should also remain only the business of those who visit them. However, that’s not always clear to some of the nosy people in your life. Because your own curiosity has occasionally caused you to step over the line, you might feel uncomfortable or even hypocritical enforcing your own boundaries — but you must, nevertheless. Forgive those who’ve invaded your privacy — but firmly correct them, too. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) The shitty situation you’re in probably isn’t as horrible as you think it is. Don’t let your fledgling martyr complex jump immediately to your least favorite outcome and force that to happen, just so you can be proved right about how awful things are. There are myriad other things that can happen here (none of which are perfect, admittedly), so cutting them all off at the pass just so you can suffer and say, “I told you so,” doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. If you can’t figure out how to arrive at one of these solutions, just chill out and wait. Without your intervention, one will probably happen mostly on its own. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Don’t be so quick to judge. Here’s the thing about the exceptions that will make your life exceptional: They won’t fit cleanly into the boxes you want them to. They might even throw up a red flag or two,
show you something you don’t like or simply not fit your expectations. Reject them out of hand and you may miss out on someone far superior — partially because they’re so surprising — then whoever you’re aiming for. That means offering the benefit of the doubt to those who show promise even if they’re not “perfect.” They might prove to be better, but you won’t know it until you experience it. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) We all know you can get carried away by your passionate emotions, sometimes all the way into prima donna territory. Luckily for everyone, you’re getting better at recognizing this tendency earlier, and sometimes heading it off at the pass. If it’s already happened this time anyway, back things up now, before it’s too late (it’s not yet, believe it or not). Apologize and adjust your reaction accordingly. You’ll be surprised at how gracious and forgiving people will be. If it hasn’t happened yet, hurray! You can head off some drama before it even happens. Please do. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Everyone reacts to pain differently. Some might want plenty of attention, cuddles and TLC, while others would prefer to be left alone or have some other form of help that makes things easier without making them feel weak. It’s truly hard to figure out how best to be there for someone, particularly when they’re unwilling or unable to really tell you. However, there’s no one better equipped than you to unravel such mysteries. Please at least try. You know how great it feels when you hit on just the right thing, that thing that really does someone good. This week, just be persistent, creative, and patient, and you’ll get there again. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Libras are fantastically talented at keeping secrets. That’s because telling secrets often ruffles feathers all around, and ruffling feathers is something you usually prefer to avoid at all costs. However, sometimes you need to, especially when refusing to share vital information (for fear of conflict) is potentially hurtful or damaging to someone you care about. Therefore, prepare yourself to spill the beans, and cope with all the dramatic fallout that might ensue. It may not be the easiest or happiest thing — but if you know it’s the right thing, you must steel yourself to do it regardless. W To contact Caeriel, e-mail sign.language.astrology@gmail.com.

ralphie report By Ralphie Aversa
‘Glee’s’ Lea Michelle chats with Ralphie at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut.
PAGE 30
J
ennifer Lopez returned to the stage, and Regis Philbin continued his goodbyes from the screen in what was a memorable weekend celebration of Mohegan Sun’s 15th anniversary. The Uncasville, Conn., resort hosted a tribute dinner to the TV icon Friday night. Philbin confessed to me that his pending departure from “Live With Regis and Kelly” is starting to dawn on him. “I feel like crying,” Philbin joked. “I’m going back to my room, and I’m going to cry, right now!” Of course, no celebrity celebration is complete without a cake from Buddy Valastro. On stage, “The Cake Boss” presented Philbin with a cake designed as a television. Valastro told me he baked the piece back in New Jersey. “To bring (the cake) to Mohegan Sun is no problem,” he explained. “We’ve delivered cakes out to Vegas, or L.A. That’s tough.” The TLC star also brought a cake for the resort’s birthday. While appearances by Valastro, Bobby Flay, Philbin, and cast members of MTV’s “Jersey Shore” were all big hits, it was Lopez’s Saturday-night performance that proved to be the highlight of the weekend. “She inspires me,” “Glee” star Lea Michele shared. “I look at her and I go, ‘I wanna do that. I wanna be like that.’” It is that star power that put JLO at the top of the list for performers that Bruce “Two Dogs” Bozsum wanted to headline the weekend. “She’s the hottest thing out there right now, in more ways than one,” said the Chairman of the Mohegan Tribe Council. “Between ‘American Idol’ and her new
album and all the stuff she’s doing, I think she’s the No. 1 artist in the country.” Many other celebrities stopped by Mohegan Sun to take in Lopez’s performance, including New Kids on the Block singer Donnie Wahlberg, newlyweds Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo and Jaime Pressly. After the show, both Minnillo and Pressly offered rousing reviews of JLO’s show. Mohegan Sun Connecticut is the sister property of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs in Plains Twp. RONNIE WALKS OUT ON SAMMI According to multiple sources, Ronnie Magro was close to a no show for his scheduled appearance at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut Friday night. The resort booked him and fellow “Jersey Shore” stars Sammi Giancola and Deena Cortese for a Q&A session, meet and greet and nightclub appearance. Magro missed the Q&A and had “Meatball No. 2” sit between he and Giancola during the meet and greet. Later in the evening, all three showed up to the casino’s Ultra 88 Nightclub. Giancola entered first, flanked by a girlfriend. Cortese followed soon after, and Magro showed up last. While waiting to walk in to the club, Magro turned to a friend and said, “I can’t do this. It’s too tough.” Immediately after, he and his entourage walked out the entrance of the club past “Sweetheart,” who could only turn and glare at her now ex-boyfriend. The ladies stayed the evening, while Ronnie exited out the back door around 1 a.m. Listen to “The Ralphie Radio Show” weeknights from 7 p.m.-midnight on 97 BHT.

Lebanese
ELMER SUDDS SUDDS ELMER
By Nikki M. Mascali
Weekender Editor TURN UP THE HEAT THIS HOLIDAY SEASON Looking to spice up the holidays? Look no further than TorchBearer Sauces. This Mechanicsburg, Pa.-based company has been around for about six years and will makes its way north next week when it opens a kiosk at the Wyoming Valley Mall (29 Wyoming Valley Mall, Wilkes-Barre). “We liked the Wyoming Valley Mall,” said co-founder Tim Wortman. “We chose a couple locations right near our houses, but kind of wanted to branch out a little bit farther and hit a different area because we were frightened we’d get a lot of the same people.” Wortman founded the company with David “Vid” Lynch and Ben Smith. “We’re just friends from college who did spicy sauce on spaghetti for probably about six or seven years, and it just kind of grew,” Wortman explained. “We just tried to see how hot we could make stuff and burn each other out, pretty much. The first sauce was kind of a habanero preserve, and we just kind of went from there and built the rest of the product.” TorchBearer’s sauces are all natural, gluten free and vegetarian. “Our slogan is ‘accidentally healthy, intentionally delicious,’ and it’s true. We didn’t think that it might be good for you or healthy, we were just going with the different flavors,” Wortman
“Our slogan is ‘accidentally healthy, intentionally delicious.’” TorchBearer co-founder Tim Wortman
explained. Mandarin orange is one of the signature ingredients and is prominent in #7 Sultry Sauce, a spicy number Wortman kindly sent me to sample. It’s slightly chunky and sweet for a second before its heat kicks you. Though the heat lingers, you’re able to still taste the food it’s on. I also sampled honey barbecue sauce which was mild, but also had punch, melding the taste of honey, garlic and red pepper deliciously. Though my boyfriend found it reminiscent of summer, I found it hearty enough for winter dishes, too. “I put it on everything,” Wortman said of this sauce. “I dip fries in it, I put it on burgers, I put it on pizza.” The final sample, honey garlic wing sauce, was powerfully garlicky yet delicate. On TorchBearer’s website, the first two samples are $5.99, the third $6.50. TorchBearer has nearly 20 sauces in its arsenal and is looking to develop more. “We want to do a chocolate one really bad,” Wortman said. “It’s a little daunting because we’re not sure how it’s going to work. We

think the chocolate and the spice together would be really, really good.” TorchBearer’s kiosk at the Wyoming Valley Mall will be open during normal mall hours from Tuesday, Nov.1through the end of December.

THE COOKIE CRUMBLED Blue Chip Gourmet (78 S. Main St., Wilkes-Barre) has closed. The Loveland, Ohio-based cookie and sandwich-shop franchise, which opened in July 2009 in the University Corners complex, had former Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins player Dennis Bonvie as its public face. “The shareholders had a meeting and decided they wanted to go in a different direction,” Bonvie told The Times Leader last week. “I really wanted it to work. I was hoping it could keep going. I like downtown Wilkes-Barre.” Bonvie’s Beefy King, which was adjacent to Blue Chip in the space of a former Quiznos, closed in the spring after less than a year. W

Special to the Weekender that everyone — including celebrities — still try to replicate because after all don’t “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes?” Edie Sedgwick: Probably the least wellknown on our list but by far, one of my favorites because Edie was a girl who had everything come easy to her, including her style. The outfits she wore were never meticulously planned, and she usually left the house wearing leotards and tights from dance class. But since she was somewhat of a mini celebrity, thanks to her close friendship with artist Andy Warhol and Janelle pays homage to ‘It Girl’ musician Bob Dylan, Edie Sedgwick. much to her own amusement, she became a trendsetter. Part of her signature look was statement earrings, much like the oversized chandelier ones we wear today, along with black leggings or thigh highs, which Edie wore with everything. Debbie Harry: Since most of this list is filled with classic, hile we all like to credit sophisticated styles, I had to add ourselves with coming some rock ’n’ roll. Without a up with the latest trends doubt, Debbie set the standard and styles off the shelves, the for the “don’t-care-what-I’mtruth is everything we wear nowadays, someone wore it before us wearing-but-I-still-look-freakingand, odds are, before them.

Jeff agrees that Wall Street banks have fleeced the people, but that’s not at the center of his Bitch this week …

know the U.S. government will save them out if they screw up. And one final thought: Show some dignity. Photos of protesters defecating on police cars doesn’t help. Nor does an alleged rape Oct. 15 in a tent in Cleveland. Or the hundreds of arrests nationwide. Use your freedom of speech, but make us believe you want to be a contributing member of society. Oh, and know what the hell it is you’re protesting! Amanda’s Brag: I’m not sure who the brilliant mind is that originally thought of the idea of cake pops, but man I do love her. (It had to have been a woman, they are just so darn cute!) Whoever it was that decided to take the cupcake trend to a new level and thought to create balls of cake on a stick is just a
Amanda dabbled in the world of cake pops — and would like to thank their inventor.
genius. After multiple failed attempts, I have finally mastered the art of cake-pop baking, making and decorating. Have you noticed how big of a trend baking has become? With shows like “Cake Boss” and “Ace of Cakes,” everyone’s trying their hand at tasty creations. I first saw cake pops at Starbucks a while back and had to at least try to make them. My first two attempts failed miserably. Thankfully, the staff here at KRZ will eat almost anything, so even the bad tester batches were eaten. (They just looked like balls of brown mush, but apparently tasted delish.) Everyone stuck with me, and finally, this week, I made an entire successful batch of Halloween cake pops! Since I’m a klutz in the kitchen, I’m always surprised at the rave reviews my baking gets. If you’ve thought about trying to make cake pops before, don’t be intimidated. It’s not as complicated as you might think. Even Google searches for “How to make cake pops” seem to overcomplicate the process. If you want to try the latest trend in baking, read how I made them in a few easy steps on my blog at 985krz.com. FYI: It’s much more cost effective to bake cupcakes. These little treats on a stick start to add up with all of the pieces necessary to make them. I am planning to do some kind of holiday-themed cake pops in December, so check back then for new tips. W Hear Jeff & Amanda Bitch & Brag Fridays at 3:30 p.m. on 98.5 KRZ.

Jeff’s Bitch Occupy Wall Street! I’m sure you have seen it on TV, where Zucotti Square in New York City has become a tent city. It started off with protesting the greed on Wall Street, but has since evolved into a mish mash of complaints, anti- capitalism, the wealthy, global warming, the lack of jobs, etc. In order to bring about change, you need a clear message. OWS appears to be a rag-tag group of malcontents, with demands ranging from free schooling to a minimum “living wage.” (I’m serious. One demand was that everyone earn a “living wage” whether they work or not.) Back to the real world. If your gripe is that Wall Street banks have fleeced the people, I’m with you 100 percent. They have. But you’re protesting the wrong group. Who gave the banks a license to steal? Our bobbleheads in Washington! When President Bill Clinton repealed the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999, it allowed commercial banks holding millions in mortgages, to speculate with that money, thus leading to the crash of the home industry in 2007. Clinton, President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama loaded up their cabinets with Wall Street power brokers and lobbyists. So why not take the protest right to the true villains: Congress and the White House. Both Democrats and Republicans are guilty of bleeding us through taxes to fund handouts to ensure their re-election. Demand that the fed stops bailing out banks who

Chris Franjola, pictured here in a very flattering shot with Chelsea Handler, will perform at Cove Haven Resorts with some of his fellow Comedians of Chelsea Lately.
The Gay Caveman speaks
PAGE 48
D
ear Mom & Dad, Sorry about the time that I decided to fly 3,000 miles to see a live taping of “Chelsea Lately” instead of paying on my defaulted student loans. Guess what, though: I’m going to see some of the comedians featured on the hit show this weekend. Calm down, I’m not using my student loan money to fly out and see them again. Instead, they’re headed to NEPA as part of the Comedians of Chelsea Lately Tour, hitting Cove Haven Resorts in Lakeville Saturday, Oct. 29. Chris Franjola, Sarah Colonna, Jen Kirkman and Loni Love will be treating audiences to what’s sure to be a non-stop laugh fest. Eager to learn more, I recently caught up with Franjola to discuss the show. WEEKENDER: When I interviewed some “Chelsea Lately” cast members in January, they said you got laid the most on staff. Tell the ladies of NEPA what they need for a shot at some lovin’ with you. FRANJOLA: First, they need to come to the show. Then, there’s a meet and greet after, so come say “Hi” and whoever has the best suggestion of what to do … WEEKENDER: Your Gay Caveman character on the show is a riot. Is he a top or bottom?
FRANJOLA: Top! He’s so falsely confident, he would have to be a top. WEEKENDER: “Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me” is doing pretty well right now, in which some of Chelsea’s victims reveal pranks she’s pulled or lies she’s told them. Explain a time she’s messed with you. FRANJOLA: Once, Chelsea made a fake e-mail account and was sending me a string of emails pretending to be Kristin Cavallari. For like a month I thought Kristin Cavallari wanted me! WEEKENDER: Also performing at Cove Haven Resort with you is Sarah, Jen and Loni. Let’s play “F--k, Marry and Kill.” FRANJOLA: F--k Jen! I’d marry Sarah. Kill Loni. WEEKENDER: What can people expect Saturday? FRANJOLA: Raunchy fun! We can be dirtier live than on TV. It’s really a great show with four very talented, different comics. I would bring you to see the show with me, Mom, but I know you would probably just try to get in Franjola’s pants, and that would be humiliating. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you all about it … Love, Justin W

CADILLAC SUPERIOR HEARSE
Owner:
Dan Kosik of Palmerton In honor of Halloween, Dan Kosik sends in his 1972 Cadillac Superior Hearse, which he’s been driving for a little more than a decade. “I like to drive hearses,” he shares. “I like the looks I get at traffic lights or on the highway. Plus, they handle really well, especially in the snow, and this hearse was well taken care of by the funeral home it was in service for. “It only had 48,000 miles on it when I bought it. (It) actually gets pretty good gas mileage, no worse than my other car, a ’90s Chevrolet Blazer.” W PAGE 51

Jayne has fallen in love with the H-D 2012 Switchback, which comes with an easily detachable windshield and saddlebags. The Dyna-model bike comes in three colors: Ember Red Sunglo, are Vivid Black and Brilliant Silver Pearl.
bike trim.” We both agreed that chrome, while pretty, is a labor of love and a lot of work. I watched as Kearney took off both the saddlebags and the windshield in, like, a minute. It was so easy, I could do it! These bikes are just now coming into the showrooms and Kearney said each dealer is getting one and can order in more. Right now there is one at Noto’s (with my name on it), and one at Electric City HarleyDavidson, which has already sold one from its showroom. Both Noto’s and ECHD will be running their traditional Black Friday and 12 Days of Christmas sales. More information on that
will be forthcoming. Just because it’s getting near to the end of riding season for most, it’s not the end of shopping and buying season! This is definitely a bike worth checking out and taking for a test drive. Of course Harley-Davidson also has a number of other models that are interesting. Other new colors are the Tequila Sunrise and Harley-Davidson Orange, which is a pretty flashy color that is bound to look awesome in the sunlight and attract many an eye to your bike! So get out and test drive one of the new Switchbacks today — I think you’ll like it as much as I did.

came to live in Northeastern Pennsylvania in the fall of 1980. So pretty quickly here, it will be 31 years that I have called this place my home. It’s been a good home, but it often makes me very confused. I came to town to put WKRZ on the air. We knew very little about the area, but I had some time before we went on the air to explore a bit. When I was first here, downtown Wilkes-Barre was a lively vibrant place. It had these kind of cool red canopies. Boscov’s was a newish seeming store, with bright displays, and it was clean. The Hotel Sterling was open, and we even looked at it quite seriously as a place to build our new offices. The center of town had little restaurants, a music store and lots of shops. The square had its share of creepy crawlies, but it had the fountain, and it worked. The Station (Market Street Square, later, later still, a revolving, revolting string of names) was just opened, and it was a jewel indeed. Fine dining in unique train cars, great acts in the nightclub (I saw Joe Jackson there among many, many others) and was a thriving business. When did it all go to hell? When exactly did the Hotel Sterling become less a place to stay and more a place that we fear to drive by because it might topple and fall on our heads? When did The Station become a financial disaster needing millions of dollars to save it? Who decided that we needed the train station more than a hotel? When did the mechanics of a working fountain become too hard for us? It didn’t happen overnight. It happened in plain sight, but apparently not plain enough. Just a slow slide into oblivi-
Downtown Wilkes-Barre, including the Hotel Sterling, used to be a beautiful, bustling epicenter. on. The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. Talk is that The Station complex will become a “visitors center” similar to the one up at Montage Mountain. What a plan that is. Ever visit the center up north? I was there a few times. You could shoot cannons at either end and not hurt a soul. Just what we need, another empty building to decay in the downtown area. Purposeless, needless and doomed to fail. Sounds like a motto to me. So what solutions do I offer, smart guy? None. I am, after all, just a guy with a laptop and an axe to grind. Smarter minds than mine will decide the fate of old hotels and derelict train stations. Politicians and officials will fix it all. Just like before. I wish they would put the red canopies back. I really liked them. W Reach Jim at contact@jamesrising.com Even more rants are on his blog, updated every day that ends in “y” at jamesrising.com.

think I just may have fallen in love with Harley-Davidson’s latest entry in the Dyna class. If I were looking to buy a new bike or drop a hint as to what I’d like to find under the Christmas tree this year, it would be the H-D 2012 Switchback. I sat in the seat, and it held me like a lover. Its Ember Red Sunglo color attracted my eye, and the easily detachable saddlebags and windshield make this a perfect convertible motorcycle for those who like change. I met with Todd Kearney, general manager of Noto’s Harley-Davidson Shop in Plains Twp. to discuss the attributes and special features of this new model. Kearney stated that the key features of this Dyna-model bike, which weighs just 718 pounds, include an FL front end, floor boards, 2-into-1 exhaust, a 103 motor with six-speed transmission, factory security and ABS. This year’s colors, in addition to Ember Red Sunglo, are Vivid Black and Brilliant Silver Pearl. “The stripped-down version has the look of an old ’70s bike,” Kearney said. “So you have the old look with the new technology. It is still totally customizable. They give you the canvas, now you can paint your own picture.” Kearney explained that the style is the first in the Dyna family that is convertible and the first with a wide front end. “Lots of women have shown an interest in this bike,” he added. That is not to say it is a woman’s bike at all, but the low seat height makes it much easier for a shorter woman to handle it. I know, as I’ve sat on it, and it was very comfortable for me. I could reach the ground and the distance to the handlebars was also very good. “Young guys like it because it gives them a bike with lockable saddle bags without pushing them into a touring bike,” Kearney said. “You can ride this all day, and it has the comfort of the touring bikes on the road.” He added that as a design feature, “You can black out or chrome all the silver. Black is big now in
