news of the weird

By Chuck Shepherd

Weekender Wire Services

6GETTING OLD YOUNG (1) Jack Smeltzer broke a record in the tractor pull championships in Columbus, Ohio, in January — doing a “full (track-length) pull” of 692 pounds. Jack is 7 years old. The National Kiddie Tractor Pullers Association (holding 80 events a year for ages 3 through 8) uses bicycles instead of motors. Ms. Brooke Wilker, 5, was the youngest champ, lugging 300 pounds 28 feet. (2) Walmart announced in January that it would soon offer a full line of makeup especially for 8-year-olds (and up), by GeoGirl, including mascara, sheer lip gloss, pink blush and purple eye shadow, all supposedly designed for young skin. (An executive of Aspire cosmetics said her research revealed a potential market of 6year-olds.)

GREAT ART! — David Morice, of Iowa City, Iowa, a teacher at Kirkwood Community College, was best known for a series of “Poetry Comics” until he decided last year to write 100-page poems every day for 100 days, until he had a book totaling 10,000 pages (actually, 10,119). For some reason, the University of Iowa Libraries has published the finished poem, online and in a 2-foot-high hardcopy stack. (Strangely, in a 480word article describing Morice’s feat, the Iowa City Press-Citizen included not even a hint about the poems’ subject matter.)

— In January, Toronto sculptor-photographer Lisa Murphy added to her reputation for devising “porn for the blind” by producing four more hand-molded erotic figures generated by using clay to replicate photographic scenes of nude and lingerie-clad models (accompanied by descriptions in Braille). “The butt was the hardest to sculpt,” she said. “I wanted to get it nice and even, and give it a feminine softness so it would actually feel like a woman’s butt.” Her first book, “Tactile Mind,” with 17 such raised erotic works, sells for $225 (Cdn).

— Ripley’s Believe It or Not! museum is already home to an artist’s rendition of da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” made from burned toast, and now comes a recent version by Laura Bell of Roscommon, Mich.: da Vinci’s masterpiece made with clothesdryer lint. Bell said she did about 800 hours of laundry of variouscolored towels to obtain lint of the proper hues, and then worked 200 more hours to construct the 14foot-long, 4-foot-high mural.

THE CONTINUING CRISIS Surprise! (1) New Zealand

traffic officer Andy Flitton cited an unnamed speeder recently for the second time in two years — 11,000 miles from the spot of the first ticket. Flitton had moved from the U.K. to New Zealand, and unknown to him, the motorist himself had relocated to New Zealand last year. When Flitton stopped the man in Wellington in December 2010, the motorist recognized Flitton as the one who had ticketed him on the A5 highway near London. (2) Rap singer Trevell Coleman, trying to bring “closure” and “get right with God” for having shot a man in 1993 (since he was never caught), confessed the assault to New York City police in December, hoping that his humility might impress a judge. However, police checked and then booked Coleman — for murder. Said Coleman, “(F)or some reason, I really didn’t think that (the victim had) died.”

— “That Was Easy!”: (1) Several students at Texas’ Carrizo Springs High School were suspended in December, and a teacher placed on leave, after a parent complained that her son had been grabbed by the shirt and stapled to a classroom wall. She said it was at least the second time that it had happened. (2) Jodi Gilbert was arrested in Jamestown, N.Y., in January and charged with domestic violence — stapling her boyfriend in the head several times with a Stanley Hammer Tacker.

— In November, a Taiwanese factory owner accidentally dropped 200 $1,000 bills (worth about $6,600 in U.S. dollars) into an industrial shredder, turning them into confetti. Luckily, Taiwan’s Justice Ministry employs a forensic handwriting analyst who excels at jigsaw puzzles on the side. Ms. Liu Hui-fen worked almost around the clock for seven days to piece together the 75 percent of each bill sufficient to make them legally exchangeable.

GOVERNMENT IN ACTION! — Everyone washes hair, but those who want a license to apply shampoo in Texas need 150 hours of training, with 100 hours in “theory and practice of shampooing,” including a study of “neck anatomy.” A February Wall Street Journal report on excessiveness of state regulation highlighted California’s year-long training to be a barber, Alabama’s 750-hour schooling standard for a manicurist’s license, and Michigan’s 500 practice hours for performing massages. (By contrast, many less-tightly regulated states seem not to suffer. Connecticut, without licensing, fielded only six complaints last year against manicurists — four of which involved disputes over gift cards.) Next up for licensing, perhaps: cat groomers in Ohio.

— What Budget Crunch? The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported in January that despite an array of pressing problems, the Broward County public school system has paid about $100,000 per year since 2004 to build and maintain special gardens at selected schools in order to lure butterflies for pupils to study.

— Government That Works: (1) The 2009 federal stimulus program came through just in time with $34,000 for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Kearneysville, W.Va., laboratory. Work on the recent dangerous increase in

Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs was in jeopardy because money had run out for design of a workable air distribution system for the offices. (2) The City Commission of San Antonio, Fla. (population 1,052), passed an ordinance in January restricting, to a tiny portion of town, where registered sex offenders could live. However, San Antonio has only one sex offender, and that man is exempt from the law because he already lives there.

Militia mixes up the metal

M R. FA SH IO N S

W

1255 Sans Souci Highway Wilkes-Barre, PA

MUSIC ON THE MENU changed, the root of Militia’s sound has always been metal — especially Metallica.

“Raw power,” says Lameo, 38, when asked what first drew the group to the band. “That’s about it. And how they rose up from nothing — not getting radio play — to becoming one of the biggest bands. If James Hetfield got sick and couldn’t tour, Boggs could jump right in and sound exactly like him.”

Still, Lameo says that despite its ability to perfectly cover their songs and after five years of playing nothing but Metallica, the band knew by the mid to late ’90s it needed to expand. On the local music scene, alternative rock bands such as Tribes were packing them in and the Seattle sound continued to interest many club goers. But with primary influences like Rush and — particularly for Lameo — Black Sabbath, the band still wasn’t about to stray too far from its metal roots. Lameo says he simply loves the work of Tony Iommi.

“His songs aren’t crazy hard to play, but he gets his meaning across,” he says. “They’re powerful. His riffs are so catchy. I like him more as a riff player than a lead player.”

In addition to its infamous gig with Motorhead, Militia has shared the stage with acts such as Testament, Overkill, Type O Negative, Dope, Biohazard, L.A.

Guns and longtime regional favorites Harpo. Also now included in the group’s setlist are tunes by Seether, Rage Against The Machine, Nirvana and Drowning Pool. The band does not lack confidence when it hits the stage.

“We always use a full PA and a full light show, and we put on a show,” says Lameo. “We want people to say, ‘Holy (expletive), they were incredible. That guy reminded me of Angus Young.’

We move around constantly on stage. We all have long hair and our heads are always banging.

We have moving lights — intelligent lighting — and smoke machines. Boggs is on the stage, off the stage, in with the crowd.

And we go from song-to-song-tosong-to-song …

“I know a lot of bands say they’re high-energy, but you’ve got to see us. My neck is sore for two days after a show.”

Even Lemmy — disagreements over beer aside — would have to say that’s pretty metal. W

Militia, Sat., March 5, 11:30 p.m. at the benefit for F.O.E. Aerie 314 (493 Meridian Ave., Scranton). Also on the bill: One, Red X and Jigsaw Johnny.

hat could be more metal than getting into a fight with Lemmy over beer?

It’s the kind of story that Eddie Trunk might love to share with his viewers on “That Metal Show,” and it’s a story that Scranton’s own Militia recently shared with the Weekender.

It happened years ago at a club in York. There were only two bands on the bill: Motorhead and Militia. And while Militia guitarist Rocco Lameo admits he may have brought the now-funny incident upon himself, he wasn’t about to back down from the legendary Lemmy at the time.

“I was going to fight him in my boxers,” says Lameo. “He was bitching about something down in the dressing room, and the roadies and bouncers came down and broke it up. I don’t know … I started drinking their beer or something. We had like a little closet for a dressing room, and I was in their dressing room, and I wasn’t supposed to be.”

Where it appears Militia is supposed to have been for the past 18 years is on the stage playing metal. The band started off as a Metallica tribute in 1993 but later added the music of additional hard-rock bands to its shows. This summer, it will be cutting a new batch of original material at SI Studios in Old Forge.

“It’s a cross between Metallica and Godsmack,” says Lameo of the music. Song titles include “Wrath of God,” “Black Faith” and “Either This, Or Suicide.”

Militia also features Brian “Boggs” Gaughan on vocals, Vinny Verrone on bass and vocals, Joe Skrutski on guitars and Tom Carden on drums. It first formed nearly two decades ago as Metal Militia, but in 1998, it tweaked its lineup, changed its name to simply Militia and started performing material other than Metallica, including music

by Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails and Type O Negative. Though it has occasionally disbanded and regrouped, the unit has been active for 11 of the past 18 years. And though it has evolved and

Another stellar Radiohead effort

Radiohead seems to get off on confounding expectations; even the mundane exercise of a release date becomes an opportunity for trickery. The band announced its new album “The King Of Limbs” was to come out Saturday, but on Friday — surprise! — the record was made available.

Before you’d even heard a note, Radiohead had messed with your mind.

Focused and dark, the album opens with “Bloom,” layers of jittery percussion and an out-of-place Colin Greenwood bass line with Thom Yorke’s ethereal vocals floating above.

Driving guitars push “Morning Mr Magpie” as drummer Phil

Sean Rowe “Magic”

WWWW

Sean Rowe’s magical poetry After hearing the delicate strings that start “Surprise,” the lead track on Sean Rowe’s “Magic,” it’s almost a shock when the musician’s vocals kick in.

You can’t help but draw comparisons to Leonard Cohen or Tom Waits upon hearing Rowe’s entrancing and emotive baritone — and again when you listen to his narrative lyrics. “I thought love was just a strip mall/ Baby, you are a surprise,” he shares during the

aforementioned song.

“Time to Think” is rueful and melancholy thanks to bowed bass from Clarke Foley and cello by Monica Wilson-Roach and the haunting backing vocals of Cara May Gorman. “Night” is light and airy while “Old Black Dodge” sounds like classic Southern blues, especially when Rowe and Gorman deliver the “Hey Jesus, what’s that line?” lyric together.

“Jonathan” is incredible. It begins with shakers and plucked strings before the song kicks in with crunchy electric guitar. Rowe’s vocal rhythm is reminiscent of a beat poet reading his work aloud as Troy Pohl provides great piano.

“The Walker,” about someone who isn’t “up to much/ I’m just walking around,” is so intimate you can hear a chair creak. “Wet” slowly builds on lilting guitar and brilliant bursts of Rowe’s electric guitar to reach Adrian Cohen’s powerfully placed piano before ending with Wilson-Roach’s sweeping cello. “You don’t need to cut your life/ On these razorblades or these kitchen knives,” Rowe tells the battered woman at the song’s core.

“Wrong Side of the Bed” is another highlight and the most different-sounding song on the album; it’s in the funky vein of Roxy Music’s “Love is the Drug.”

Closer “The Long Haul” offers a searing end to Rowe’s 10-song enchanted outing.

Motorhead “The World Is Yours”

WWW

Motorhead’s unchanging ‘World’

More than three decades after releasing its first album, Motorhead is still charging ahead, daunted neither by age nor the trappings of popularity.

The band’s latest release, “The World Is Yours,” is a furious mix of distorted, bass-heavy songs that are sure to please fans and alienate their neighbors. Once again, Motorhead has skillfully blended -- Nikki M. Mascali the energy and attitude of punk rock with Weekender Associate Editor the power and volume of heavy metal to

produce a sound that is (almost) uniquely its own.

From the opening bars of “Born to Lose” through the final chord in “Bye Bye Bitch Bye Bye,” it’s clear that Motorhead still has a lot to say on “The World Is Yours.” The songs are occasionally introspective and somewhat solemn (“Rock ’n’ Roll Music” or “Brotherhood of Man”) but are more often nihilistic and completely unapologetic (“Get Back In Line,” “Outlaw” or “I Know What You Need”).

Even at age 65, Lemmy Kilmister sounds just as intimidating as he did on Motorhead’s earliest albums, his gruff vocals just as much a part of the band’s sound as his bass guitar is.

However, the question that remains is whether or not a band like Motorhead can still be relevant in today’s world. Is this Motorhead’s best album? Hardly.

Does “The World Is Yours” mark a new chapter for the band or a foray into new territory? No. However, what it does do is make the listener want to turn the volume all the way up, roll the windows down and put the pedal through the floor.

In this reviewer’s humble opinion, that is all that a Motorhead album ever has (or will have) to do.

Robert Cray on his shyness

ROBERT CRAY

Cray's ways through the years

By Michael Lello Weekender Editor

PAGE 24

f the blues is a road, it’s been an open one for Robert Cray and his namesake band.

“We’ve always had a wide avenue of music that we all appreciate,” says the heralded guitarist and singer from his home in Santa Barbara, Calif.

The Robert Cray Band share that broad flavor on its new “Cookin’ In Mobile” live album and DVD, and it will share it with local fans at the F.M. Kirby Center on Friday, Feb. 25.

Cray grew up in a military family and lived all over the world as a youngster, which helps explain his music-withoutboarders approach. He feels he’s succeeded in breaking down those barriers.

“I think this band has opened other bands to do more r&b in their sets,” Cray says. “When we were getting going, we were

getting knocked for doing horns.”

Cray says blues artists often wrote and played songs that weren’t exactly blues; he cites Robert Johnson’s “They’re Red Hot” (also known as “Hot Tamales”) as an example, noting, “that kind of groove was current at the time.”

Cray, whose 1986 album “Strong Persuader” was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame last year, one year after he released his Grammy-nominated “This Time,” has recently welcomed bassist Richard Cousins back to the band. Cousins, a childhood friend of Cray’s, in the band from 1974 through 1991, joins Tony Braunagel (drums) and Jim Pugh (keyboards).

“Richard and I started the band together, and then I fired Richard in 1992,” says Cray, chalking up the bassist’s ouster to “just a combination of things; I didn’t like the way things were going, and alcohol and drugs and all that stuff.”

Cousins’ role in the group,

Cray explains, goes beyond playing bass guitar.

“He’s been one of my strongest allies and trusted critics,” shares Cray, 57, who indicates that Cousins is a sounding board of sorts who’s not afraid to express his opinion of the band’s musical direction, positive or negative.

Cray adds that he doesn’t listen to much current music, so Cousins keeps him abreast of what’s going on outside of the band.

Cray appeared as an Otis Day & The Knights band member in “Animal House,” filmed in Eugene, Ore., where Cray was living at the time. But being comfortable on screen, on stage and around people did not come naturally.

“Shyness, which is still a positive and a negative. I think that it keeps you from getting overconfident, and at the same time I think you kind of blow big situations,” he says, laughing. “So it’s an ongoing thing. It’s like anything else, it’s a challenge.”

It’s hard to imagine Cray without a guitar, but he did start out on piano. Living in Germany for two and half years in the late ’50s and early ’60s, he’d listen to Armed Forces Network radio, buy records at his dad’s base hear what his parents’ played at home, like Ray Charles, Sam Cooke and Bobby “Blue” Bland.

But then something struck him that struck millions of youngsters then.

“I came back to the states, and I guess the pop thing was going on. And then The Beatles hit,” says Cray. “While I was in Germany, I played piano for a few years. I traded it in for a guitar.

The Beatles hit me pretty hard.”

Shemekia: 'I am blues'

By Michael Lello Weekender Editor

I

f it was up to her, Shemekia Copeland would have never even gotten on a stage.

Lucky for her — and thousands of blues fans — she had no choice.

Copeland, who was born in Harlem and lived in the Poconos before moving to Chicago, tells the story of how her father Johnny Copeland, a blues guitarist, forced the matter.

“I got shocked onto stage,” says Copeland, who will open for Robert Cray at the F.M. Kirby Center Friday, Feb. 25.

Copeland was squabbling with her brother one night, and their mom brought them to The Cotton Club, a Harlem venue where their father was performing.

“My dad saw me sitting in the audience, and he started playing a song we used to sing around the house,” she recalls.

“And he called me up on stage.

I thought I was being punished.

Now it’s my favorite part of the business, being on stage in front of people.”

Her most recent album of new material is called “Never Going Back,” released in 2009.

It was produced by Oliver Wood, a member of The Wood Brothers. Guest players on the record include Wood and his brother Chris Wood (Wood Brothers, Medeski Martin & Wood), John Medeski (Medeski Martin & Wood), guitarist Marc Ribot and Derek Trucks Band members Kofi Burbridge and Mike Mattison. And In January,

“It’s my favorite part of the business, being on stage in front of people.”

Shemekia Copeland

Alligator Records released “Deluxe Edition,” a compilation of songs dating back to Copeland’s 1998 debut “Turn The Heat Up.” Copeland has opened for The Rolling Stones, headlined major blues festivals and been heralded as the heir apparent to Ruth Brown, Etta James and Koko Taylor, but for the big-voiced singer, the goals have been broad and simple.

“In my whole career, my main goal has always been to help blues music develop and grow,” she shares. “A lot of people get into the blues music, then the second they do well, they leave it and switch to whatever they wanted to be in the first place.”

Coming of age around the blues, thanks to her dad, had “a huge impact” on that outlook, says Copeland.

“I grew up in the middle of Harlem during the hip-hop era,” she says. “So if my dad was not a blues musician, I probably would have never heard blues, and I’m so grateful for that, because blues is me, and I am blues. It’s in my soul. It’s who I am.”

Avetts bring the energy R E V I E W

PHOTOS BY JASON RIEDMILLER

By Michael Lello Weekender Editor

WILKES-BARRE — Young musicians obsessively practicing their instruments hoping to become the next Avett Brothers are misplacing their efforts. As shown Saturday night during a wildly received sold-out show at the F.M. Kirby Center, the popular Avetts rely on energy, authenticity of emotion and showmanship — not virtuosic talent — and it’s an approach that, for them, obviously succeeds.

During its hour-and-a-half concert, the group varied the look and sound by playing in several configurations: all five players, four of them, three of them, duo situations and even a solo turn for one member. The shifting lineups allowed the band to perform at times with the zeal of an evangelical preacher and at other moments with the ten-

It all started with “Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise,” the song the Avetts — Scott Avett, Seth Avett, Bob Crawford and touring members Joe Kwon and Jacob Edwards — played at the Grammys earlier this month. It was a stirring way to begin the show, and it instantly hooked fans who seemed to hang on ev-

ery word and note that came from the stage throughout.

Early highlights included an Everly Brothers-meets-punk rock “Die Die Die” and “The Fall,” which found Scott Avett introducing the song on harmonica before pushing the tune into a bluegrass-tinged frenzy.

About halfway through the set, Crawford, who plays bass in the band, took over lead vocals and acoustic

guitar with no accompaniment for a tender reading of “Letter To A Pretty Girl.”

The screaming crowd might have been a bit much for the intimate moment, but Crawford’s light touch was undeniable. Crawford left the stage and only the brothers emerged for a segment including “The Greatest Sum” and the confessional “When I Drink.”

The band’s contagious supercharged energy returned for a rapid-fire delivery of “Talk On Indolence,” in which Scott Avett dropped to his knees while strumming his banjo and Seth Avett kicked a cymbal.

Crawford and cellist Kwon — the latter roamed the stage more than you’d expect for someone carrying a cello — did a little kick dance.

The North Carolina band wrapped things up with the poppy clap-along “Kick Drum Heart,” “January Wedding” and a rocking “Slight Figure of Speech.”

WAYNE’S WORLD

JESSICA LEA MAYFIELD Before The Avetts dominated the stage, opening act Jessica Lea Mayfield haunted it. She and her band played a mostly slow and moody group of songs, and while her vocal range and stage presence are both practices in minimalism, it was a deeply moving set if you paid attention. The uncharacteristically up-tempo “Blue Skies Again” and the dry “Kiss Me Again” were particularly effective. Besides the occasionally stunning guitar lines by Richie Kirkpatrick, the music was without ornamentation and it served the songs, with their plaintive lyrical sentiments, perfectly.

movie review

Alex Pettyfer is Number Four in the movie ‘I Am Number Four.’

T

This flick’s number is up

he current trend of teen angst in a supernatural setting continues with “I Am Number Four.”

John (Alex Pettyfer) is your typical American high school kid — if that typical kid resembled an Abercrombie & Fitch model and was amazingly down-to-earth. John is a little different than most, and the phrase “down-to-earth” has more than a little to do with it.

John is among the last of his people from the planet Lorien.

However, even among his people he is special. He is a part of the Garde, a group of nine children that possessed special powers and legacies. Each of

these children escaped prior to Loreien’s destruction. Now, each hides on Earth along with a warrior from Lorien serving as their mentor and guardian. The real catch is that they can only be killed in order. Bad news, the enemy is on Earth and has just caught up to Number 3.

This meshing of the “Superman” legend sprinkled with the animation gem “9” is clearly geared toward the “Twilight” market. You see, along with the list of Lorien can-and-can-nots is the fact that they fall in love once, and for life. One can hear the collective teen female sigh from space.

This, of course, happens to our

sequences, the film is mired by its own self and the lack of identity. Simply put, we’ve seen all of this before. And more importantly, we’ve seen it all done better.

“I am Number Four” makes no pretense about what the future holds. This film was made with the sequel in mind. After John meets up with Number 6 (Teresa Palmer) and watches her particular brand of ass-thumping ability, they decide that they are much stronger together. John leaves his newfound love Sarah with a promise to return and heads out to find the remaining four members of his people.

One whirl around this particular ride is more than enough. However, rest assured that in the relatively near future our world will be introduced to part two. You should feel no pressure to be among that number.

ig Time Rush have forged a big-time relationship with rapper Snoop Dogg, and the guys from the Nickelodeon hit show insist the D-o-double-G is not the same artist of yesteryear.

“He’s very much a family man,” revealed BTR’s Carlos Pena on “The Ralphie Radio Show.” The group sat down for a quick interview and performed an acoustic version of the song “Boyfriend” at the Wyoming Valley Mall in Wilkes-Barre Twp. The studio track features Snoop. “He was great to work with.”

“I don’t think the kids who would watch the episode now would know anything about his (past),” insisted actor/singer Kendall Schmidt. “Most of them are pretty young. They know him from Katy Perry (‘California Gurls’).”

Schmidt added that Snoop commented to the boys on how impressed he was with people’s reaction to the rapper’s cameos and affiliation with the show: for the first time in his career, 5-year-olds approach Snoop in public to comment on his work.

“We went to one of his concerts and he was nice enough to invite us back stage and we had a great time,” said Logan Henderson. “He lives and breathes music.”

“He gets done playing a show and he goes back there and he’s still DJing music,” James Maslow continued, elaborating on the experience backstage with one of the most influential West Coast emcees of all time. “He’s with a bunch of his friends and family. He’s very close with his family and a lot of them are a part of his hair and makeup. It’s just him hanging out with his closest

friends, playing music.”

Schmidt also recalled one point during the party where someone stepped on a cord, cutting the music. Snoop, who will not let anyone else touch the computer, immediately wanted to know who was responsible. BTR insisted it was none of them — but regardless, it certainly sounds like a funny scene for a future episode.

The guys currently have ten more episodes of the show’s second season to film. Afterward, it’s on the road for what BTR hopes will be an international tour.

WENTZES BREAK UP TMZ broke the news earlier this month that Ashlee Simpson-Wentz filed for divorce from Pete Wentz, citing the all-too-familiar “irreconcilable differences.”

Last October, Pete sat down for an interview with “The RRS” and chatted about balancing life on the road with marriage and a child, Bronx Mowgli.

“Whenever Ashlee’s not doing stuff, we kind of try to coordinate our schedules,” said Wentz. “So like, Bronx has been to Japan, he’s been to Europe. A big misnomer is that Fall Out Boy slowed down because of Bronx coming out, and that’s not the case at all. I definitely want him to see the world, and (to) see it on the record company’s dime is rad.”

Apparently it was that balance, amongst other things, which Pete and Ashlee didn’t see eye-to-eye on, leading to the divorce.

Building a dialogue on arts Artist group to conduct first public event, a ‘video collage’

ith the hope of building a broader dialogue on the arts, a group of artists who formerly shared critiques and techniques in each others’ homes will host its first public engagement this week.

The Independent Artist Collective will conduct the first of three planned “video collage” events beginning this Friday, Feb. 25, at the Afa Gallery in Scranton. The event starts at 7 p.m.

Scranton resident Ryan Hnat, one of the group’s eight board members, said two hours of film are planned for each event, including upcoming collages on March 19 at the Vintage Theater and April 8 at the Electric Theatre Company. Films range between two and 20 minutes in length.

“It’s pretty broad, all the way from snippets with music in the background to storyline films with a more traditional set up.

Some are completely art films,” painter Kayla Cady of Scranton said.

Other films are used to document live performances, added sculptor and Dunmore resident Sarah Schimeneck.

The group drew on the experience of filmmaker and photographer Kevin Volgrin of Tunkhannock to prepare for Friday’s event.

“Kevin brought a lot of points for the jury board to discuss. He raised issues on censorship, composition, production and story, so it was good to have his background in the group,” Hnat said.

Aside from exploring new art forms, like film, Hnat said the group hopes to create a dialogue about the arts and their impact.

IAC began when Hnat aimed to create more avenues to discuss and create art outside of a collegiate atmosphere with a small group of friends.

As the group changed and welcomed different members, they felt it would be appropriate to conduct a public event and move outside of the critiques they conducted in each others’ homes.

“This is our first public engagement,” Hnat said. “We’re so curious. It’s an experiment in a sense, and we’re the lab rats trying to make it work and bring more culture to the area.”

“It’s a way to organize art impulses, to create and then to discuss what we’ve created,” Schimeneck added. “We want to

“It’s a way to organize art impulses.”

Sculptor Sarah Schimeneck

organize a community of other people to share what they’ve created.”

Chinchilla resident Oliver Pettinato said the IAC hope to attract people from outside the region to Scranton as the city builds a bigger reputation for its appreciation of the arts. The group also takes into account trends they’ve observed in the art world.

“There are so few venues for different media arts,” Cady said. “(Film) has a huge push in the art world. We were in London last year, and in almost every contemporary gallery we went to there was a film element. We want to be on the cusp of that.”

‘I Think I Love You’

By Allison Pearson W W W W 1/2

A teen-idol trip

By Kacy Muir

Weekender Correspondent

F

or many of us, we cannot help but remember our first celebrity heartthrob, and for author Allison Pearson, “I Think I Love You” follows the sheer quirkiness of such things with narratives based on two love-obsessed adolescent girls.

In 1998, Petra is a mother of an unruly 13-year-old. She wonders what happened to the similar free-loving spirit she once knew at her age, her childhood best friend.

This is when the story takes a back seat to the 1970s with young Petra and Sharon in their home of Wales. Readers see two 13-year-old girls mesmerized by teen magazine photos of David Cassidy, many of them plastered to their walls as though anything else would seem foreign.

In the late 1970s, The Partridge Family was a common-

ality among young people to tune into, especially Petra and Sharon who could not help but embrace the golden-skinned, shaggy-haired and always smiling Cassidy. Pearson offers this eccentric story with a song on repeat, “I Think I Love You,” performed by the Partridge Family and led by the young Cassidy singing to millions of lovelorn fans: “I think I love you/ So what am I so afraid of?/ I’m afraid that I’m not sure of/ A love there is no cure for.”

Sharon and Petra enter into a sweepstakes with hope of winning the grand prize — an all-expenses-paid trip to America to meet their beloved Cassidy. However, though the girls play a predominant role in the book, Bill, a 20-something ghostwriter, becomes a character of great interest and growth in the book.

In the midst of waiting on the sweepstakes, Petra and Sharon, disavowing all parental control, decide to travel to London to see Cassidy perform. Only this concert is a disaster, as Petra’s mother soon finds that not only did her young daughter rebel against her, but also a young fan was rampaged to death at the concert.

Then one blissful day, a letter arrives. Sharon and Petra are the winners of the Cassidy meetand-greet. Only too bad for them that Petra’s still-angered mother thwarts their dream by concealing the letter. The letter remains a secret for more than two decades until the day Petra accidentally finds the treasure she has dreamt about most of her young life, only now she is middle-aged.

In a steadfast pace, Petra contacts Sharon, and the two decide to throw caution to the wind and travel to Las Vegas together where they will for once and for all meet their teen-love idol. The conclusion of the novel demonstrates the journey from adolescence to adulthood and reveals that certain kinds of love do last a lifetime.

The novel demonstrates the journey from adolescence to adulthood.

Cavalcade comes to town Concert celebrates 60th anniversary of Wilkes-Barre jazz festival — considered America’s first

By Michael Lello Weekender Editor

F

or one night 60 years ago, Wilkes-Barre was the jazz capital of the country.

Luminaries like Duke Ellington drummer Sonny Greer performed, the Voice of America national radio station broadcasted the music and reporters from publications like the esteemed Downbeat were there to write

about the event.

It was called the Cavalcade of Dixieland Jazz, held at the Hotel Redington and Hotel Hart, and it was chronicled by several historians as the first-ever American jazz festival.

On Friday, Feb. 25, its anniversary will be commemorated in the form of the Cavalcade of Jazz Revisited at Downtown Arts in Wilkes-Barre.

Friday’s concert will include performances by French jazz singer Ilona Knopfler and trumpeter Nate Birkey with the Steve Rudolph Trio;

the Jim Waltich Quartet; and The Bog Swing Group. A 6 p.m. opening reception, which will precede the 7 p.m. concert, will feature the Lee Vincent Memorial Band. Vincent, a legendary longtime local musician and bandleader who passed away three years ago, performed at the 1951 Cavalcade. The reception will be held upstairs from the main concert stage.

The Vincent angle is one of many historical connections that will abound at the Cavalcade of Jazz Revisited.

“I hope that there will be a

welcoming of people to support what really is a monumental event, when you think about it,” says Pat Marcinko, who played at the 1951 show as a member of the Scranton Minors. He’ll be in attendance again, as will son Marko Marcinko, who’ll perform with Knopfler and Birkey.

AN IDEA IS COMPOSED

C

harles Havira, a Cavalcade of Jazz Revisited organizer, raised the idea of a WilkesBarre jazz festival after he performed

“There was a bit of New Orleans floating around in the air then.

The spirit of its music, its heritage, even the food they served. New Orleans was in Wilkes-Barre.”

subscribe, it was a noted event in the history of jazz. And something that can help broaden the educational mission of local jazz enthusiasts, like Marko Marcinko.

“The state of Pennsylvania is very well-situated in the history of jazz, with Ahmad Jamal and John Coltrane being people that have their roots based in Pennsylvania,” says Marcinko, who is also a Cavalcade committee member who helped book the performers. “There are many wonderful jazz musicians that come from Pennsylvania. In the Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre area, going back many years, even pre-big band era, we had Tommy Dorsey and Jimmy Dorsey, two significant artists, playing with the Scranton Sirens way, way back in the day.

“So we have a history shared in Northeastern Pennsylvania, then with the entire state and the world.”

The modern-day Cavalcade, if successful, will be stitched into the fabric of the local jazz scene, which includes the annual Scranton Jazz Festival — run by Marko Marcinko’s PA Jazz Alliance — and maybe a similarly themed annual event hinted at by Havira that would be held at the River Common and work in lockstep with an annual Cavalcade at Downtown Arts.

With the Cavalcade of Jazz Revisited not yet in the books, Havira’s already thinking about next year.

“I’m looking to the future with it,” he says, “and I’m going to do whatever I can to help it along.” W

at last year’s River Fest at the River Common. The idea stuck with John Maday, who is the membership service coordinator for the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce, and it popped back up during one of his Sunday morning runs last year.

“I started to think about what (Havira) said, and I happened to remember I was talking to Lee Namey and Juanita Namey,” Maday says, referring to the former Wilkes-Barre mayor and his wife, who is also Event organizer Charles Havira on the 1951 Vincent’s daughter. He recalled them Cavalcade of Dixieland Jazz talking about the 1951 festival and a plaque commemorating it at Public Square, dedicated in 1994. “So I ran over to Public Square, and the plaque is where the bandstand sits. And I looked at the plaque, and it said ‘Feb. 23, 1951.’ I thought, ‘Next year is going to be 60 years!’ So while I was continuing on with the run, I thought, ‘It would be a shame if we didn’t recognize this somehow.’”

Maday got the ball rolling by contacting Mike Burnside and others from the Cultural Council of Luzerne County and Kathleen Godwin at PHOTO BY JASON RIEDMILLER Arts YOUniverse, which is housed at Downtown Arts. As a committee was formed and the idea of a 60th Performers at the anniversary gala quickly became a Cavalcade of Jazz reality, Maday says he expressed one Revisited include, stipulation. clockwise from top “One thing I was always insistent left: The Bog Swing on was I knew we want to have some Group, Ilona Knopfler performers here, but we have to have and Nate Birkey.

Lee Vincent’s band because of that connection,” he says. “I said, ‘I won’t do this without them,’ but everybody course, the city’s claim isn’t true.” He in Wilkes-Barre. Eight jazz bands said, ‘Yeah, you’re right.’” pointed to two events that preceded got together for ‘The Cavalcade of the Cavalcade: a “jazz festival” at the HISTORY IN QUESTION?

but then again ...

By Jim Rising

Weekender Correspondent

The day the judge scam died To the tune of “American Pie” A long, long time ago/ I can still remember/ How faith in justice used to make me smile/ And I hoped, given half a chance/ The law would make Ciavarella dance/ And, maybe, he’d be honest for a while February made him shiver/ When the verdict was delivered/ Good news on the doorstep/ Mark couldn’t take one more step I can’t remember if I cried/ When I read about his wounded pride/ But please throw him deep inside/ The day the judge got fried So bye-bye, Mr. Kids for Cash Guy/ Kept the juvie center filled/ While their mommies did cry/ Took a million dollar finder’s fee/ And now must comply/ Singing, damn I thought I was so sly/ God damn, I thought I was so sly/ Did they take off the gloves/ And did you have faith in God above/ If the Bible tells you so?/ Did you believe the Scooch could roll/ That the pleas could save your mortal soul/ And will you end up on the dole?/ Well, we know that you were in bed with them/ ’Cause we saw your bank accounts were not so slim/ The Bob’s kicked back to youse/ Man, I dig that finder’s fee’s ruse Kids for cash made you all big bucks/ A juvenile lockup and a big fat yacht/ But I knew you was out of luck/ The day the judge got fried.

Chorus Now for 10 years you were on the throne/ And you grew fat on the kids bones/ But that’s not how it’s supposed to be/ When the feds came in and shut down your scene/ You right away tried to cop a plea/ But the feds they were just too mean Oh, and while the IRS was poking round/ Your pension fund went down/ The courtroom was adjourned/ The verdict was returned/ And while Powell sang like a lark/ Mericle’s firm went dark/ And justice was dancing in the park/ The day the judge got fried Chorus

Helter skelter in a kick-back swelter/ The kids shipped off to a juvenile shelter/ 39 counts and holding fast/ You landed foul on your ass/ The lawyers tried for a forward pass/ With the public on the sidelines watching at last/ Now the jury was back in their room/ While the media played a funeral tune/ We all got up to dance/ Oh, am I glad we got the chance!/ ’Cause the lawyers tried to take the field/ The feds refused to yield/ Do you recall what was revealed?/ The day the judge got fried?

Chorus Oh, and there we were all in Kosik’s place/ A federal courthouse is the right space/ With no time left to start again/ So come on Flora be nimble, Ruzzo be quick!/ The defense lawyers sure were slick/ ’Cause rent payments are the judge’s best defense/ Oh, and as I watched him on the stand/ The guy who once behaved so grand/ Sentencing kids to living hell/ Just to make his bank account swell/ I prayed and hoped the jury got it right/ To lock the judge up tight/ I saw justice blinded by the light/ The day the judge got fried Chorus There was a girl who sang the blues/ Her big bad crime, some Facebook news/ But she got screwed and sent away/ Judge Ciavarella sentenced her to more/ Then burglars got years before/ And just went home to count his pay/ Now in the streets: the children screamed, the mommies cried, and the reporters creamed/ The final word was spoken/ The judge’s back was broken/ And the thing that I admire most/ For the fathers, sons and the mommies most/ They put Mark’s feet in the fire, and they will roast/ The day the judge got fried.

And now he’s singing/ Bye-bye, my Kids for Cash ploy/ I kept my juvie center filled/ I wasn’t very coy/ Took the million dollars finder’s fee (spoken) And now I’m going to jail? Oh boy! I’ll appeal!/ Got to get a lawyer who’s sly/ Gotta find a freakin’ lawyer who’s sly W

MIDTOWN MAKES A CHANGE Midtown Sundries (28 Concorde Drive, Avoca) has changed its name and its owners. Now known as Midtown Sports Bar and Grill, the restaurant is owned by Gina Kline and Ron Wel-

lington of Laflin. The restaurant is in the site of the former Damon’s, which closed in 2007.

Midtown Sundries opened last April.

The couple has had previous restaurant experience managing Mambo Italiano in Dupont and owning Classic Italian-American Restaurant in Pittston Twp. They were brought in by North Carolina-based Midtown Sundries to run the property, with Wellington also being the restaurant’s chef.

Kline told the Times Leader Friday that business was “near horrible” under Midtown Sundries. The establishment’s general manager returned to North Carolina, leaving Kline and Wellington with two options: Close the restaurant, or take over. They opted for the latter.

“They thought they would just open the doors and people would pour in,” she said. “When you have a restaurant every 100 feet (in the region), that’s not going to work.”

Kline went on to say that since they’ve taken over, business has improved, thanks to advertising and an expanded menu.

Midtown Sports Bar is open 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Find it on Facebook, visit Midtownsportsbar.net or call 570.654.2413.

FUTURE AT FORMER PORTAFINO? Lackawanna County-based company KKM Limited recently purchased the former Portafino Ristorante (900 Schecter Drive, Wilkes-Barre Twp.) for $1.3 million. Portafino, which closed in July of 2009, was most recently Louie’s, which closed last June. The building was originally built to house a Boston’s The Gourmet Pizza Restaurant & Sports Bar in 2006, which closed in December 2008.

The building was owned by Terra Firma Land Development Group Inc., Porta Fino Inc. and Anthony Trombetta, who has been drawn into the continuing Luzerne County corruption probe through his businesses but has not been charged with any wrongdoing.

Helmets for the sheriff’s department’s volunteer traffic control personnel await finishing touches. strip of reflective tape. Lastly the badges had to be molded to the contour of the helmet and applied with epoxy to adhere them to the helmet.”

Let me tell you, the smell in the house was awful. But it was all done for a good cause, and hopefully I will have my dining room table back soon as well as my new and newly painted helmet with a badge on it.

“I think they are beautiful, when everyone else sees them, they will want one too,” Moskaluk said.

Luckily, Doug “eBay” Moore bought a few extras that he’s completed the work on, and they will be available for anyone that wants a new helmet.

If everyone can get their bikes out of storage for March 13, you will be able to see their debut at the Wilkes-Barre Saint Patrick’s Day Parade.

The helmets will also be in attendance at the 15th Annual Wyoming Valley Motorcycle and Sports Show. This event will be held on March 20 at the 109th Armory on Market Street in Kingston. That runs from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. and benefits the Wyoming Valley Children’s Association.

The sheriff’s office will have a table where children can be fingerprinted and given IDs. You can also talk to Sheriff John Gilligan, Sheriff Chief Carl Zawatski or Captain Richard Moskaluk about joining the motorcycle division. You just have to be sure to have a clean record, as they do a rigorous background check before admitting you to the unit.

retty much during any day at Kranson’s clothing store you can find some type of law enforcement person picking up new clothes, shoes or accessories. Each department has its own unique look that is often detailed by patches so that it is obvious what department you represent. The sheriff’s office actually has separate uniforms for the full-time officers and those who ride in the motorcycle division, which is an allvolunteer division.

Unlike many of the other uniforms, there is one final piece that finishes off the uniform of the motorcycle division officers — the helmet. While the rest of the uniform is quite professional looking, the helmet is actually a safety feature as well.

It can also be readily seen and identified as sheriff’s department personnel for traffic control.

One thing you should know is that because the motorcycle division is all-volunteer, the officers all purchase their own equipment and uniforms.

While Kranson’s does a great job of keeping the uniform clothes all matching and, well, uniform, the store doesn’t sell motorcycle helmets. Because of that there has been some variety of helmet colors and shapes. For instance, when I first joined the motorcycle division, I was using a white full-face helmet which was completely different from the rest of the division. Even those that had similar half helmets had several shades of gold and even a red one.

Sitting around at the end-of-summer party, Captain Richard Moskaluk thought it would be a great idea if we could all have matching helmets that had a uniform color and perhaps logo. “I think that when they are all done, it will be really impressive” to have matching helmets, he said.

After several attempts to get someone to paint them, they ended up with the newest member of the motorcycle division. Yep, the old man. Doug actually joined the motorcycle division this past January and decided that since we couldn’t find anyone else to do the job he would step in and take over the project. So Moskaluk and wife Irene rounded up as many of the helmets as they could and gave them all to Doug to begin the work.

And the helmets all ended up in my dining room to be painted. Doug is a painting contractor, so he had all the tools necessary and the requisite skill, not to mention patience, to get the job done. He said, “The hardest part was the smell of the lacquer and paint used to do the job.”

For the past week my house was turned into a painting production studio with Monday’s snow day giving one last day to put on the finishing touches — the tiny Deputy Sheriff badges that sit on the crown of the helmet. Moskaluk said that he really likes the idea of the badges on the helmets as “they are great, they show up really well.”

“The helmets that weren’t black had to first be painted black, then each helmet had to be masked off and painted gold,” Doug said. “The last step in painting was to clear coat each helmet. After that each helmet had to be pinstriped with a small

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) The games people play can be fun, if you’re good at them, and in the mood. Of course, it’s refreshing to be able to cut through all the bullshit and get down to brass tacks, but if someone is in a more playful, circumspect mood, this strategy could just scare them right off. So much of life and connecting with another person is about timing, and part of that is where you’re at in your lives. If you want to play games and have that kind of fun, go for it — but try to find someone else who’s in that place with you, or one of you is bound to get hurt.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Appending “in bed” to every fortune cookie fortune makes it better. Adding “yet” to most of your negative statements will similarly improve your life. It creates an opening for change. Even your most jokingly self-derogatory comments can benefit. “I haven’t been able to find a job…yet” opens up the issue and creates, in a very tangible way, possibilities that wouldn’t feel as likely without the “yet.”

It’s a subtle way to reorder your mind to manifest better stuff for yourself. Try it this week, every time you express something negative. It might not work universally, but I think you’ll be pleased with the overall benefit.

PAGE 48

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) Everyone deserves a second chance — but maybe not right away. Sometimes your judgment is simply spot on, and giving someone any more rope will just make them hang themselves, or you. People can change — but rarely overnight. Keep your mind open to a second chance, sure, but reserve such an opportunity for somewhere further down the line, when it’s more likely it’ll be worthwhile. For now, if they come knocking, keep the door closed.

If and when it’s time to open it again — and I honestly hope you don’t rule out the possibility — you’ll know.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Anyone whose wish has been granted soon discovers that wishes usually come with stuff you never anticipated — and perhaps don’t even like. Of course, it’s hard to guess at what will come along with the dream guy/gal, the power, the fame, the success, or whatever else you fantasized about. But glossing over the potential details as thoroughly as you have pretty much guarantees you some unpleasant surprises should your wish ever come true. This week take a harder look at the wishes that seem closest to fruition, and this time include all the details you didn’t bother examining earlier. Some of them

could be dealbreakers — and wouldn’t it better that you figured that out now before you had to actually live with them?

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Blurred boundaries are something of a Cancerian specialty. Of course, while some people might appreciate that your relationship requires no specific definition or rules, others may feel extremely threatened by the fact that you’re perfectly willing to disregard lines that have been drawn if crossing them simply “feels right.” It’s sometimes a difficult lesson for you Crabs to learn to respect those limitations, because your line-crossing and rule-breaking is usually fueled by the best and most compassionate intentions. However, learn it you must, and if you haven’t mastered it by this week, you’re likely to get some painful instruction on the matter.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Leos at their best are radiant, generous, loving, warm, enthusiastic, intuitive leaders, and fun to be around. At their worst, they’re bossy, controlling, selfish, lazy, and insensitive. Don’t let your ego be too bruised by such uncompromising truth — unless it’ll fuel personal change! Relearning such bad habits is quite difficult, and requires tremendous persistence. Nevertheless, your personal evolution depends on learning to recognize and minimize those negative tendencies while strengthening and amplifying your positive qualities. Since this week’s events are likely to put them in stark contrast with each other, it’s an opportune time to practice exactly that.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

Virgos are rarely snobbish — so you might not recognize the signs when you do lean that way. This week you need to confront the truth that there’s a part of you that turns your nose up at interacting with certain people, for whatever (probably unconscious) reason. That’s not to say you need to completely overturn your unspoken judgments and make time to hang out with said people; in fact, your opinions may be spot on. However, recognizing them, and being truthful with yourself about what you think and why you think it are good ways to determine whether you’re being discerning, or just prudish — an important distinction this week.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) I prefer warm weather. However, that doesn’t mean that whenever it’s not warm, I automatically get down, annoyed, or out of sorts. Actually, I’ve learned to appreciate cold or wet weather, not just for the variety, but also because it makes me appreciate the sunny, beautiful days that much more. For someone who’s supposed to be able to value multiple perspectives, you’re awfully black and white about certain things. You might be happier if you could find a way to appreciate even the stuff you’re not entirely crazy about. Such a talent could prove very valuable this week.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) For every person who’s down on you because you’re a Scorpio, there are two who are likely to be intensely into you for the same reason (although some of these might not know it yet). You’ve got a rare and special quality that tends to elicit

fairly extreme reactions in the people around you. Although that may occasionally feel like a curse, recognize that most of the time it’s an amazing blessing. Of course, you can’t control who’s obsessed and who’s repulsed — something that may lead to feeling more doomed than lucky this week; all the more reason you should keep the big picture (and your ultimately blessed state) in mind.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Although we’ve been programmed with a certain set of social rules and expectations, one of your great gifts is being able to consciously and intelligently toss those rules out the window when they simply don’t make sense for the scenario at hand.

This could be one of those times. Such great power, naturally, comes with corresponding responsibility: Other people might need some encouragement — or even a form of permission — to follow their hearts, and you may very well be the only one equipped or willing to give it to them. Come through for those poor people, won’t you?

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Misery loves company, but that doesn’t mean it has to be you. When someone tries to drag you into the crappy place they’re in, it’s time to employ that infamous Capricornian stubbornness, dig in your heels, and refuse to go along. You can choose to walk away, or pull them out of their funk, but rest assured that nothing particularly good will come of you getting down in the trenches with the down and out right now. That doesn’t mean you can’t have compassion for them — just that it shouldn’t slip over into commiseration or pity. Drag them up, walk away, whatever — just don’t let them trip you up or push you down.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Some messages you have to spell out explicitly. Others can be effectively conveyed with a look, a touch, or a gesture, and articulating them at length would only water them down, or even negate them completely. Therefore, don’t. Words are like fire: a little bit is cozy and comforting, but too much and you’ll burn the place down. You’re already pretty outspoken, so try to keep quiet for once, and practice communicating in other, less flammable and ultimately more wonderful ways. By the end of the week you should be an expert in this department — or you might be shopping for replacements for W everything you burnt to cinders.

Owner:

Randy Yerdon of Berwick “Restoring this car has been a labor of love,” Yerdon says.

“My father owned the car and was in the process of restoring it when he died suddenly a few years ago. Even though I didn’t know much about cars, I made it my goal to finish it. He really wanted to take it to car shows and have people admire the car — that was his goal. … It was kind of a mess when I got it; I had a lot of help from my friends, but I’m proud of the car I have today. I know my father would be proud of it, too.”

ing my options beyond serving as an MTV VJ. When I recently discovered that the old “TRL” studio is home to a new show, “The Seven,” I had to attend a taping and see what this was all about.

Running just half an hour weekdays at 5 p.m., the show provides pop culture updates that are short and simple, yet produced with perfection, allowing audiences to be kept in the loop of what’s about to be trending without losing their attention.

One thing I know will be trending very soon is MTV’s freshest face, the super-fly Kevin Manno, host of “The Seven.” In the spirit of the show’s nature to fill audiences in on “the seven things you need to know now,” I made it a priority to find out the seven things you need to know, too … about Kevin: 7. The dude never saw a “Star Wars” movie.

6. Before counting down today’s top seven stories, he was a popular radio personality for Chicago’s Q101 5. At one time he was a doorto-door knife salesman. No wonder he’s so sharp on air!

4. His most exciting interview was Adam Sandler.

3. He can be found on Twitter @KevinManno.

2. When he’s not on hosting duty, he enjoys getting to know his way around New York City.

1. Hands down, Kevin’s the nicest guy you could want to meet. So hang out with him at a taping by e-mailing thesevencasting@mtvnmix.com.

As I walked outside of 1515 Broadway, where I once stood as a 17-year-old kid with a dream, I realized that as I grew up my dreams had evolved — just like the studio that now hosts “The Seven.” Good luck to us both…

ost of my senior year of high school was spent skipping school to attend tapings of MTV’s “Total Request Live.” My destiny, or so I thought as a barely innocent teen, was to be an MTV-VJ. On one of these school-skipping adventures I was hand selected to give a “shoutout” on national television.

It just so happened that on this particular day my father was home from work. So, at 3:30 p.m., when “TRL” was broadcast live, my parents were watching the show with my 12-year-old sister.

“Jason! You’re next,” signaled one of the producers.

“That’s Justin,” I corrected.

Paying no attention to what I said, the frenzied producer handed me the microphone. “You’re on in 10, nine, eight …”

When I left the taping, I saw I had seven voicemails waiting from my parents. After the first voicemail was my mother screaming that I was going to put my father in an early grave, I figured out they must have seen the show! My poor parents — innocently watching television as their son pops up on MTV with a microphone when they think he’s in detention. The last message was both of them laughing and saying, “Leave it to you, Justin.”

Throughout the school year I must have gone to “TRL” tapings at least 10 times, where my consistent attendance caused the hosts and staff to begin remembering me by name, or at least other variations of first names that begin with the letter J. I was convinced that it was only a matter of time until producers understood that my outlandish personality could be a contributing asset to the show.

They never did. Instead, I went to college, where other than barely dodging cirrhosis of the liver, I developed and exercised skills in television broadcasting and production by hosting my own college TV show, interning for E! and “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and competing on an ABC reality show — collectively expand-

“We really want the kids and parents to see us as role models.”

Anthony ‘Buckets’ Blakes of the Harlem Globetrotters

Globetrotters spread message through basketball

By Christine Moua Weekender Intern

he Harlem Globetrotters, the nationwide exhibition basketball team that combine tricks, skills, and comedy — and community appearances for children — will bring their show to Mohegan Sun Arena Friday, Feb. 25.

The Globetrotters have visited schools and hospitals and have appeared elsewhere in communities to show their talents, entertaining everyone from presidents to the pope. With a history to tell and torches to pass, Anthony Blakes, known as Buckets, has been with the team for the past nine seasons.

So how does somebody become part of the team?

“The Globetrotters have a scouting system, they scout guys and colleges,” says Blakes.

“Once you make it through training camp, you are invited and have a chance to be on the team.

They do a great job of finding guys who can carry the torch that was lit so long ago.”

The team was founded by Abe

Saperstein in 1926 Chicago.

Back then, the team was originally named The Savory Big Five; it did not become The Harlem Globetrotters until 1927, to coincide with Harlem culture. Saperstein wanted to prove that blacks could play basketball. He influenced his team to play any team that would challenge it and play for money.

Blakes wanted to be a part of that history. Originally from Phoenix, he would cut a hole in the top of his dad’s hat, flip it over and shoot a tennis ball through it. Learning from his older brothers and cousins, he found his love for basketball.

“I always wanted to be a professional athlete,” says Blakes.

“After playing college basketball I played professionally in other places. One day I got a random call from the Globetrotters to come work out with the team, and I was ecstatic about it. I couldn’t wait.”

Globetrotters community programs include C.H.E.E.R. for Character, which focuses on cooperation, healthy mind and body, effort, enthusiasm and responsibility. This program

The Harlem Globetrotters, Fri. Feb. 25, 7 p.m., Mohegan Sun Arena (255 Highland Park Blvd., Wilkes-Barre Twp.).

allows the players to interact with students from local schools by playing with a basketball that has character traits printed on the outside. Character education allows students to cooperate with others and prepare them for challenges they may face when they are adults.

“We go out to the community prior to playing games,” says Blakes. “I visit schools, hospitals and a lot of radio and TV. I think it’s our community outreach programs that really get us going; everybody is on the same page.

We really want the kids and parents to see us as role models.

Whether we like it or not, people do look up to us, so we want to make sure we give back.”

Not only have the Globetrotters made a huge impact on the community by being Ambassadors of Goodwill, S.P.I.N. Programs and donating to schools and hospitals, but being a part of the team has also made an impact on the individual team members.

“Being a part of the team has given me the opportunity to see the world,” says Blakes. “It has given me the opportunity to see all the different cultures out there. Everybody is unique in their own way.”

With the Globetrotters in Wilkes-Barre, they want to bring a message to the local schools that legends started when they themselves were kids.

“You develop these life skills you don’t realize, because you start to understand these different cultures, and it makes you an overall better person,” says Blakes. “Once I realized what I was a part of and realized what impacts they continue to still have on the world, I knew I was in the right place.”

CHANGING THE

Way You Feel

ABOUT DENTISTRY

It’s common to be uneasy about a trip to the dentist, but a better dental experience is available. The smile of your dreams is achievable—without the pain, hassle, or anxiety.

t Back Mountain Dental, you’ll be welcomed into a spa-like atmosphere by personable staff. James C. DeFinnis, DMD, offers a thorough consultation to determine each patient’s smile goals, past dental experiences, and possible anxieties about dental procedures.

Expert Sedation Dentistry

Photo by Kim Cavalari at A Photo Affair

If you’ve been avoiding dental treatment for fear of long, uncomfortable procedures, be happy to know that years of dental decline can be restored in just one or two effortless visits.

Dr. DeFinnis’s extensive training in Intravenous (IV) sedation dentistry allows you the option of enjoying a peaceful slumber while your dental work is performed. Sedation is carefully administered by a registered nurse anesthetist who monitors your IV throughout the procedure, as in a hospital setting. Awake “This isn’t a to a beautifully restored stereotypical dental smile with no memory of office with the unnerving atmosphere the procedure. that many people “We only offer fear. Our patients IV sedation—rather are treated warmly than anti-anxiety and compassionately. pills—because it is the I listen to my safest, most effective patients’ past dental option for dental experiences to best sedation,” states understand how we Dr. DeFinnis. “It can be can give them hit or miss administering something better.” the appropriate dosage —DR. DEFINNIS with oral sedation. With an IV, we can carefully control the sedation level throughout the procedure, and the medication can be reversed instantaneously.

in safety and emergency protocols, and we adhere to the strictest safety standards to ensure complete patient confidence.”

Better Materials, Better Smile

“A beautiful smile is an incredible asset—whether meeting new people or interviewing for a job,” observes Dr. DeFinnis. “We use the highest quality materials and specialty labs to provide each patient an outstanding outcome.”

Back Mountain Dental features a full menu of cosmetic services, including Invisalign®, advanced teeth whitening, and veneers to correct crooked, stained, or broken teeth.

Dr. DeFinnis also offers CEREC®, a state-ofthe-art dental crown technology that assists him in restoring decayed and damaged teeth in just one office visit.

“CEREC is a revolutionary system that provides the precision I need to conserve more natural tooth that is still healthy,” says Dr. DeFinnis.

CEREC creates ceramic restorations while you wait and doesn’t require uncomfortable impression trays or temporaries. Color-match technology ensures a natural appearance, without the visible gray metal lining that can sometimes appear with conventional crowns.

“No one should live with embarrassing teeth for fear of visiting the dentist,” concludes Dr. DeFinnis.

“We’re here to give you the smile of your dreams with the most pleasant experience possible.”
