Re a l
social
networking
Scranton Zine Fest looks
to unite artistic minds
By Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Staff Writer
S
cranton has a bit of a
reputation.
For being a hotbed
of progressive artistic
talent, that is.
First Fridays, with its buzz of
hopeful creativity and community
involvement, breathed new life
into the downtown area, and
on Saturday, June 11, countless
independent thinkers will be
bringing their ideas to the Scranton
Zine Fest, a celebration of self-
published writers.
The festival will be something of
a two-part affair, where, from noon-
3 p.m., Center Street will be lined
up and down with 21 “zinesters”
trading and selling some original
labors of love. A poetry reading
featuring a number of local artists
will then take place from 4-6 p.m. at
PAGE 14
Outrageous Cafe & Boutique.
INDEPENDENT
I
THINKERS
n case you aren’t privy to
the inner-workings of hipster
culture, a zine is an original
publication, generally printed
and assembled by hand,
usually with a small circulation,
which varies in subject matter and
is commonly not very profitable.
In other words, it’s a creative
outlet that is much more than the
bohemian boom for which some
people mistake it.
Keeping with the independent
theme of the medium, the Scranton
Zine Fest, which is funded by a
grant from Lackawanna County,
boasts community partnerships with
the vegan bath and body boutique,
Fanciful Fox, Archbald-based
ReadCycle Used Books and New
Visions Studio & Gallery.
“The Zine Fest itself is so
important for everyone to just be
able to express themselves in a
way that they’re comfortable,”
said Amanda Fox, co-owner of
Fanciful Fox, who will be selling
her products at the festival. “I think
zines are kind of a great outlet
for (people), especially youths, to
participate in.”
Zines are a great way for writers
to disseminate their work without
compromise, and the Zine Festival
will serve a number of different
purposes — the most obvious of
which is the opportunity for people
to do something different.
“I think stuff like First Friday
and Zine Fest and any type of
art festival or music festival or
anything, it seems to be a good
outlet for anyone in the community,
and it brings a lot of people
together that probably normally
wouldn’t get together,” said Dale
Wilsey Jr., one of the writers who
will be taking part in the poetry
reading. “I’m hoping people that
normally wouldn’t show up to a
poetry reading sort of show up to
this, because I think a lot of people
have the stigma in mind that poetry
reading is bongos and snapping
fingers, and that’s gone away. Every
reading I’ve been at, we’ve had fun,
and it’s fun to see the mix of people,
so I hope that’s what this brings,
too.”
It also creates an air of awareness
as far as the talent that we already
have in the area.
“I think it’s important because,
like with music, people get
caught up with big-name things,
and the locally-run artist efforts
are essential, because that’s an
undiscovered world of creativity,”
said Rachael Goetzke, another
writer who will contribute.
A lot of zinesters from out of
the area, including Philadelphia
zine library Soap Box Independent
Publishing Center and Philadelphia-
based Parcell Press, will be
engaging in various aspects of the
event as well, meaning that writers
who are involved can not only
mingle and network with others in
the area, but also with like-minded
people from all over the East Coast.
“It’s great because when I
went to the Philadelphia zine
festival, there was automatically
a sense that, ‘Oh my God, there’s
somebody that does what I do,’”
 WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 2011
“I think a lot in 2008, that’s part of the appeal of the medium.
It is a link to other people that doesn’t require a

Writer Dale Wilsey Jr.
said Jessica Meoni, one of the Scranton festival’s
co-coordinators. “And you could just trade (zines)
and stay in contact with those people, and it does
build a network between people. You’re able to
exchange ideas that way for a really long time, as
long as you want. I think it’s going to be a great
idea that way, too, because there’s all different
kinds of zines.”
Meoni was inspired to put on Scranton Zine

stranger to entrepreneurial event planning. In

THE MISSING LINK
hile the nature of zines could
be compared to blogging,
Meoni would argue that, while
blogging, just like computer-
driven art programs, has its
place in the writing world and in green living, the
idea of actually holding a book, or a zine, is one
that a lot of true literary lovers just can’t give up.
“I’m not very fond of modern technology and
things like that, and I think a lot of things are
becoming lost,” Meoni said. “The idea of saving
paper, putting it on the Internet or just on your
computer, and things like that, that’s a whole idea
of sustainability, but I see it more as like we’re
losing tangibility. And I have vinyl records, and I
like books, I like holding books.
“Everything is just so much more disposable
today. You can make a blog entry, hit submit, and
that’s it. Or you can just put music on your iPod,
only to delete it later. So I don’t like the whole
idea of disposability in the modern age. I think
that we’re losing a lot of good quality things.”

Dispelling the
D̀emon' myth
By Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Staff Writer
W
hether it’s due to in-
tense fear or complete
fascination, most peo-
ple tend to have a strong reac-
tion to the topic of sharks.
Thanks in part to movies like
“Jaws” and “Open Water,”
they’ve earned a reputation as
being voracious predators that
harbor a taste for human flesh.
And while at least the latter part
of that is not true, sharks now
hold a high and chilling place in
society, primarily because they
reside in the most mysterious
and unseen depths of the world.
Juliet Eilperin explores this and
essentially every other aspect of
the species’ rise and demise —
including the finning trade tak-
ing place that, if left unchecked,
promises to deplete the oceans
of this vital and independent
fish — in her new book, “De-
mon Fish: Travels Through the
Hidden World of Sharks,” due
out June 14.
The national environmental
reporter for The Washington
Post, Eilperin is a natural when
it comes to reporting from the
trenches, and her personal ef-
forts in “Demon Fish” are no
different. From the first page, it
becomes evident that the book
is not going to simply be a
compilation of facts, but rather
a unique balance of the truth
surrounding the current predica-
ment sharks are in (they are
quickly vanishing from interna-
tional waters due to overfishing
and finning and an inability to
reproduce quickly) and her own
experiences.
The author travels all over the
world to not only observe the
fish in its natural habitats, but
also accompanies a trophy fish-
erman on jaunts with rich thrill-
seekers and gets an inside look
at the underground world of fin
trading. While the book seems
to be an effort to dispel the
myths surrounding the ocean’s

of writing in a voice that lacks
bias. She even tries the much-
coveted shark fin soup, the
disappointment of which only
speaks to how shark fins are
used as status symbols rather
than any kind of gastronomic
sustenance.
People see them as a terrify-
ing threat, not only because of
attacks but because of their
overall appearance (by the way,
they have to keep their mouths
open in order to breathe in the
water, not so they can be ready
to chomp off your leg while
boogie-boarding), but the real
threat is the disappearance of
this creature. Eilperin a great
deal of the book deferring to
scientists and researchers, and
they seem unanimous in the
notion that if sharks disappear,
the entire ecosystem could dras-
tically change, and probably not
for the better.
Her writing weaves in and out
of the incongruity between the
menace with which sharks are
associated and their survival’s
dependence on humans to stop
desecrating them. In a shocking
and ironic twist, we now pose
the threat to these creatures, our
evolutionary ancestors, and
Eilperin makes a convincing
case for their preservation with
well-researched and polished
prose.
Beatles 'pay the bills'
for Mahoney Brothers
By Jourdaine Middleton
Weekender Intern
O
n June 10, Beatles fans
new and old will be
brought together for a
night of classic tunes with The
Mahoney Brothers, “Elvis &
the Beatles: The Concert That
Never Happened.” Located at
Bar on Oak in Pittston, bar
owner Pat Marranca is eager
for the appearance of Mahoney
Brothers.
“They’re doing it for so long
and are extremely talented,”
said Marranca. “I’m looking
forward to having them, I’m
excited.”
The Mahoney Brothers began
as a Beatles tribute act in
1977. These guys aren’t any
ordinary cover band, though.
While standard cover bands
take the music and perform
average imitations in plain
clothes, the brothers capture
the pristine detail of the British
musical icons. Through cos-
tumes ranging from the bowl
haircuts and black turtlenecks
of early Beatles to the flam-
boyant “Sgt. Pepper” era, the
band also emulates the Beatles’
voices in a flawless portrayal.
Seen in a multitude of Maho-

Beatles: The Concert That Never Happened’ at Bar on
Oak.
ney Brothers shows, the per-
formers match the Beatles’
classic instruments with Paul
McCartney’s famous Hofner
bass and the signature Ricken-
backer guitars. With body lan-
guage, head-bobbing, and
chewing gum, Mahoney Broth-
ers have turned themselves into
a grade A Beatles act.
“We listen to songs note-for-
note and listen back … you
know, the keyboards and the
guitars,” said Tim Mahoney
during a telephone interview,
sharing that the band would
watch videos of the live per-
formances to capture the man-
nerisms of the artists.
The band’s portrayal of the
Beatles became an explosive
success, titling their production
“Long Live the Beatles!” By
1978, it played a sold-out Six
Flags show in front of 10,000
people. Its greatest feat was a
successful 1980 performance at
Philadelphia’s Veteran Stadium
in front of 37,000. With that
piece of history under its belts,
the Mahoney Brothers have
been noted as the first tribute
act to recreate the Beatles’
famous 1966 Dodgers Stadium
concert.
“It’s different, but we’re ap-
propriate wherever we per-
form,” Mahoney said about
making transitions between
stadiums and small clubs.
“We’ve played over 10,000
shows in stadiums and small
venues ... In a club, we make
the show more intimate.”
In 1987, following a series
of headlining performances for
“Legends in Concert” in Las
Vegas, Mahoney Brothers in-
troduced “Jukebox Heroes
Live!” Through this production,
the brothers take a step back
from the Beatles to bring on
acts including, but not limited
to, Neil Diamond, Willie Nel-
son, Elton John, Jerry Lee
Lewis, and rock ’n’ roll king,
Elvis Presley. Their inspiration
to perform Elvis began when
people overheard the Mahoney
Brothers perform Presley songs
during sound check. Youngest
brother Mike Mahoney’s imper-
sonation of Elvis’s voice has
been described as “flawless.”
Through the unlikelihood that
Elvis and the Beatles would
have performed a concert
alongside each other, Mahoney
Brothers were inspired to bring
the two rock icons together as
a “special club performance.”
“They’re the two biggest
acts,” said Tim Mahoney. “You
don’t get to see those together.”
From sold-out stadiums to
small clubs, the Mahoney
Brothers have made a fruitful
living off of paying tribute to
the artists they admire.
“It wasn’t the original intent
to do this,” said Mahoney, who
mentioned that the band has
had original music that started
out in the Top 40 and got
airplay during the ’80s. The
brothers have also had original
country music aired in the
’90s.
While they have had recog-
nition for their original music,
the tribute performances have
been what “pays the bills,”
according to Mahoney. W

WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 2011
By Nick Delorenzo
Special to the Weekender
’80s tech ahead of its time
A
hh, the 21st century.
We’ve got so much neat
stuff floating around these
days that it’s nearly impossible
to keep up with it all. There are
touch-screen devices everywhere.
And video games that monitor
how you move, and in some really
nifty cases, what you’re thinking
about.
Yes, modern technology is
wonderful ... when the timing is
right.
But even when all of the pieces
are there, and you can put them
together to make a fantastic
product, if the people on the
street don’t get it, it’s bound to
flop.
The average video-game player
these days is fairly tech savvy.
They have all the latest gadgets,
all clearly the product of cutting-
edge technological wizardry.
But what if I told you that
Milton Bradley released a touch-
screen video console in 1982?
What if I told you that a
multitasking laptop was released
in 1989 .... one that retailed at
PAGE 22
about $1,200, and weighed about
four pounds?
And what if I said that the
same year, the original Nintendo
Gameboy came out, the one with
the black-and-white screen? You
could have been playing “Space
Invaders” on a handheld device
that could display 4,000-plus
colors?
It’s all true.
Unfortunately, the mediocrity
principle can apply with
technology just like anything
else. If people aren’t ready for the
product yet, it seems to simply
go away until they are.
That touch-screen based
device, the Vectrex, got axed in
1984, along with many other
unique concepts, due to a crash
of the video-game market.
The Vectrex pioneered the use
of drag-and-drop, and the
manipulation of 3-D elements on
computers, but it was released at
the wrong time to succeed.
That laptop that I mentioned?
The Psion MC 400. It featured
a touch-pad, many applications,
and it was small, light and
relatively cheap in an era when
laptops were the size of a small
suitcase. It could even record
and play back sound. But
only 900 sold because people
didn’t seem to be prepared for
such capability in such a small
package.
And the handheld gaming
system that rivaled the
Gameboy? It was the Atari Lynx.
It had a rich color display,
you could network with up to
17 other players for multiplayer
games — it was better than
just about anything else on the
market, but it failed due to lack
of interest.
I guess the moral here is that
we shouldn’t be too proud of
ourselves when we get the latest
gizmo or gadget. Odds are they
had it back in 1984. W

The trials and tribulations
between Lupe Fiasco and Atlan-
FROM SCHOOL LO tic Records are well-document-
ed, specifically over the release
Check it out: www.theweekender.com
of Lupe’s latest LP, “Lasers.”
Atlantic tried to give Fiasco the
songs “Nothin’ On You” and
DUMMY
“Airplanes” — aiming to bring
him to a mainstream audience.
Fiasco wanted none of it. Back

and forth the two sides argued
until Fiasco conceded and re-
leased some of the tracks his

label wanted on the album. Fias-
co says that in the end, he wanted
to make sure the project saw the
RT GUY
light of day for his fans who so
highly anticipated it.
“Lasers” debuted at No. 1, and
the first single, “The Show Goes
On” recently topped the charts.
So can bygones just be bygones?
“We’ll see,” Fiasco told me on
the red carpet of the 2011 MTV
Movie Awards. Fiasco perform-

ed with Trey Songz on the
awards show this past Sunday
evening in Los Angeles. “All of
that’s kind of in the past now, but
we’ll see.”
Despite his dismissal of past
tensions with Atlantic and the
LP’s success, Fiasco still feels he
didn’t receive enough freedom
with the final track listing. None-
theless, the Chicago emcee is
already working on “Food &
Liquor 2.”
RED CARPET
NEWS & NOTES
While speaking to a group of
reporters, Tyrese Gibson had
quite a slip. Dennis Pastorizo of
Terra.com asked the actor what
his “Best Kiss” on camera was.
Gibson misspoke and responded
with “Megan Fox” before quick-
ly blurting out, “Good, as in
actress Meagan Good.” The

Awards’ red carpet.
“Transformers” star laughed off
his gaffe before leaving the car-
pet altogether. Tyrese and Good
co-starred in a music video to-
gether, and Good took home the
“Best Kiss” award for another
piece of work at the ’07 MTV
Movie Awards.
Selena Gomez wasted no time
getting down the carpet, escorted
by a flurry of bodyguards and
publicists. She did not walk with
boyfriend Justin Bieber. My
guess is that Gomez’s people
want the focus to move away
from her relationship with the
pop star and on to the new movie
she’s in, “Monte Carlo.” Bieber
did arrive at the awards show
later, showing up backstage after
his documentary “Never Say
Never” won a canister of gold
popcorn.
The Foo Fighters’ Dave
Grohl was also in a rush down
the carpet, but at least he had a
legit reason. The lead singer
revealed to me that his band was
opening the show, so he couldn’t
stop for interviews.
We’ll see how Paul McDonald
manages his engagement to
Nikki Reed this summer while
he’s on tour. The “American
Idol” finalist and the “Twlight”
actress met in March and showed
off their new bling on the red
carpet. McDonald told me that
he’s looking forward to “Idols
Live,” which will stop at Mohe-
gan Sun Arena Aug. 21.
How are things going for Tila
Tequila these days? She was
about five spots away from me
on the carpet … no, not walking
it. The former reality TV star was
hosting a live video stream for a
website. I’ll let you be the judge.

hen did prequels
start functioning
as apologies? At
what point did a rebooted film
franchise become shorthand
for, “We’re sorry we put large

We thought that was the only
way we could sell more Happy
Meals. Please enjoy this brand
new, nipple-free version of
Batman instead.”
That’s what the prequel has
become: An elaborate, almost
groveling act of appeasement.
At least that’s the sense you
get after watching “X-Men:
First Class,” a film that works
overtime to make you forget the Professor X’s baldness. That
abject stupidity of “X-Men: The little detail is left to you,

pany’s arena show about a
young girl’s escape into an
imaginary world, “Quidam,” is
aiming to do just that at Mohe-
gan Sun Arena June 15-19.
It’s easy to appreciate the
troupe’s exhibitions for what
they are — awe-inspiring spec-
tacles — but the unconventional
nature of Cirque’s performances
(including “Quidam,” which
boasts a cast of some pretty
unearthly personalities come to
life through 52 acrobats, musi-
cians, singers and characters)
begs the question: How did
those people get there? From the
musicians who help tell the
story and interpret the emotions
involved to the acrobats and
other performers whose day-to-
day jobs involve astounding
physical feats, what road led
them to Cirque du Soleil? And
aside from an absence of a fear
of clowns, what does it take to
be a part of something so theat-
rically staggering?
The Weekender had the op-
portunity to chat with two
uniquely different and interest-
ing members of the cast, the
band leader and the German
Wheel artist, and if there was
one central theme between both
of them, it was that if you want
to live the dream, you’ve got to
be willing to do the dirty work
— and Cirque du Soleil seems
to be a melting pot of driven
characters.
W
e’re all familiar with
the story: Someone sets
an outrageously specif-
ic and seemingly unattainable
goal for their career. Rock star.
Model. Astronaut. And usually,
they end up in the throes of the
nine-to-fiver society, trading in
those ambitions for a reluctant

fate has a hand in determining
whether those dreams pan out,
but more often, good old-fash-
ioned hard work is the deciding
factor — and some people just
aren’t willing to go the extra
mile. For Cirque du Soleil per-
former Cory Sylvester, however,
the extra mile simply wasn’t
good enough: He went about a
thousand extra miles when he
decided he wanted to be a part
of the company’s “Quidam.”
And when he set that goal, he
never looked back.
“Actually it was because I saw
‘Quidam’ in 1996 in Santa Mon-
ica, Calif.,” he explained. “Once
I saw it, I just realized that it
was something that was pretty
moving to me, pretty intriguing
to me. There was a program, a
souvenir program, and in the
back of it there was an ad that
said, ‘If this is your dream, it
can be possible at the National
Circus School in Montreal.’ And
I said, ‘OK, let’s see what that’s
like.’”
That one moment had a major
impact on the direction his fu-
ture career would take.
“Something was really start-
ing, as far as just my whole
path changing, just by seeing
the show,” he said.
Sylvester exudes a typical
laid-back California attitude, but
his work ethic and determination
are more along the lines of a
Wall Street mogul. When he
realized that he wanted to learn
the German Wheel, the appara-
tus he performs and opens “Qui-
dam” with, he had no qualms
about buckling down, and 10
years after that life-changing
moment, and after making it
through circus school, he finally
had the chance to try out — and
he made sure he was prepared.
“When I would go and prac-
tice, I wasn’t ever going to just
practice, or I wasn’t ever going
to just do the German Wheel, I
was going to practice for the
Cirque du Soleil,” he said. “So
by being specific, it allowed me
to carry a different motivation
through my practice.”
And to be clear, he
didn’t just practice. He
“I wasn’t ever going to just do the Ger-
man Wheel, I was going to practice for
the Cirque du Soleil.”

Cirque du Soleil ’Quidam’ band leader, Jim Bevan.
Conducting
'Quidam'
By Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Staff Writer
H
aunting, visceral, ethereal:
These words have un-
doubtedly been used to
describe many of the perform-
ances put on by Cirque du Soleil,
especially the quietly chilling
“Quidam,” but a very large part
of creating that effect is the mu-
sic behind the acrobats and danc-
ers. With such a fluid stage pro-
duction, not only is the music
integral to telling the story and
creating a mood, but it is also an
entity that varies from moment to
moment, and being in charge of
that might seem, to the average
person, like a daunting task.
For Jim Bevan, though, the
band leader for Cirque’s arena
show, “Quidam,” that challenge
was just the next logical step in a
long and fruitful musical career.
A talented conductor and key-
PAGE 28
board player with a string of
professional gigs under his belt,
Bevan has been entrenched in
music for most of his life, and,
considering his job description,
only an experienced and passion-
ate person could do what he
does.
“I conduct, I coordinate be-
tween the action and the music,”
he said in a recent phone in-
terview. “Like about half the
time, they’re following the music,
the performers out front, the
acrobats, and the other half of the
time, I follow them. Whatever
they do, I just keep adjusting the
performance, the timing of the
performance to match them.”
Obviously, the show has been
practiced, and the music has been
planned out in advance, but the
nature of the program allows for
some freedom of expression, and
this is where Bevan and the band
sometimes have the liberty to riff
off a certain rhythm. It is also
where things sometimes need to
be adjusted in the case of mis-
takes or changes on the part of
the stage performers. That’s the
sort of thing that keeps a band
leader on his toes, and might

Kirby Park, above, is one of Y Walk Wednesday’s many
stops in Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton.
By Jonathan Perez
Weekender Intern
S O
ummoning the motivation
to get off your comfort-
able couch, turn off your
overused TV and take a walk
isn’t always the easiest task, nor
is it the most enticing. Gym
memberships — although admi-
rable in theory — usually turn
into a monthly tax for belong-
ing to that unfamiliar gym you
drive past on your way to Burg-
er King.
During that drive, you’ve
probably seen monuments,
churches, cemeteries and even
forests that are usually dismis-
sed or ignored as if they were
the wallpaper in the kitchen you
were raised in. The city we
belong to is full of rich history
and has a story to tell, and with
the price of gas, why not ditch
the car, learn some history and
kill two birds with one stone?
This summer, the YMCAs in
Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton are
offering that stone every
Wednesday, starting June 8th.
The birds: Historical enlighten-
ment and active living.
Y Walk Wednesdays are back
for a second year, and now
have 14 scheduled routes that
prospective participants can
look forward to.
With each week offering a
new theme and routes with
names like “A Walk on the
Wild Side” or “Keeping the
PAGE 30
Susquehanna Out of Our Living
Rooms,” these walks are de-
signed to get people to live
more active lives.
“Why not come out for a
walk, see the town, and listen
to the birds,” said Vincent Co-
trone, an urban forester for
Penn State University and a
walk leader for Y Walk
Wednesdays. “If we all walked,
we would be healthier and lean-
er.”
The YMCA has scouted dif-
ferent locations and profession-
als of Wilkes-Barre and Hazle-
ton to create a diverse lineup of
walks and credible walk leaders.
Cotrone is the guide of what
he deems to be the longest of
the scheduled walks. “It’s easily
five miles,” Cotrone said. “Last
year we didn’t get back to the
Y until after dark.”
He said that his walk is an
exploration of the natural side
of Kirby Park, and that it was a
surprising experience for the
group that participated in it last
year. “People were amazed that
we were in a forest that was
two or three blocks away from
the city,” Cotrone said.
That’s just one of the adven-
tures being offered this summer.
For those who rather avoid a
five-mile long hike through a
forest, there are other educa-
tional routes they can take.
Jim Brozena, the executive
director of the Luzerne County
Flood Protection Authority,
leads “Keeping the Susquehan-
na Out of Your Living Room.”
His walk is focused on the
science of the levee system and
how it keeps our living rooms
Susquehanna River-free. He
enjoys his involvement with the

that makes my job in-
teresting is to talk to
people and give them
knowledge about
things they wouldn’t
know about.”
Y Walk Leader
Jim Brozena
Y Walk program and loves
informing participants about
what he does.
“One of the things that makes
my job interesting is to talk to
people and give them knowl-
edge about things they wouldn’t
know about,” Brozena said.
John Prober, the president of
the Hazleton Cemetery Associ-
ation, also enjoys educating
participants about things he says
they do not know, but they
“should.”
“The cemetery is very histor-
ic, but people are reluctant to
go into the cemetery,” Probert
said. “They should know the
history of their community, and
that’s a good place to start.”
Each week features an expe-
dition that explores places like
King’s College, historic church-
es in Hazleton, Coal Street Park
and other destinations that de-
fine the character of the city.
All for the goal of being more
active, avoiding the reliance of
the unfamiliar gym you drive
passed and enjoying an in-
formative walk.
“I’m not even a gym person
myself, I’d rather be out run-
ning around,” Cotrone said.
“The Y walks are good because
they don’t ask people to go to
the gym.”
These walks are completely
free, and they offer a way to
get out and become more con-
scious of the community you
live in. There’s nothing to lose
— except a calorie or two. W

After much toil, the pool at the Rising Ranch is open for
business.
Swimming into
submission
pened the pool yester-
day.
Who would think four
words could bring such pain
and misery into your life?
The Rising ranch came with a
pool. It wasn’t why we made
the choice, but it didn’t hurt
either. On those few summer
days when the weather is
right, it is indeed a joy.
The rest of the time it is an
obligation. A Chinese curse,
when you save someone’s life
and are then responsible for
them. Vacuum me, clean me,
chlorinate me, skim me. It’s
me, me, me with the pool.
I have help to close the
pool. But in the spring, I go it
alone.
The pool cover protects the
pool from leaves and such
falling into it over the cold
months. These end up in the
pool anyway in the process of
removing it.
The cover weighs four tons.
This is, of course, only an
estimate. Give or take several
tons. There is a science, a
methodology to removing the
cover. The guy who closes the
pool every year patiently ex-
plains it to me. You fold the
ends to the middle and pull it
off. When he does it it’s like a
magician’s trick, the one
where the tablecloth is re-
moved and all the dishes stay
in place. When I do it, all the
leaves get in the pool. Then
the cover fills up with water,
which is heavier than guilt.
Trying to pull the water-
filled cover out of the pool by
myself is like watching Si-
syphus. I pull on one side, the
other slides in the pool. I rush
to that side and heave and the
rest goes for a swim. Eventu-
ally I get the damn thing out
and lie panting beside it.
The water is a disturbing
shade of green. It is so cloudy
that the Loch Ness monster
could be in its depths. All the
leaves from the cover are
floating merrily on the sur-
face.
The pump must be reassem-
bled and started. This process
takes hours of sweating,
searching, trips back and
forth to the house for more
tools after I drop them into
the murky depths of Lake
Rising.
Finally the pump pumps.
Now the cleanup can begin.
It takes a day to do it,
which is why I am trying to
type this without moving any
part of my body. Because all
parts of my body hurt.
What do we do in summer
in NEPA? We swim on that
day. W

ALBUM REVIEWS

WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 2011

Moby’s murky music
“Destroyed,” the latest album
from electro-pop maven Moby, is
a somewhat depressing look into
life on the road.
While many music fans
look at the life of a rock star as
glamorous and exciting, Moby
uses this album as a vehicle to
talk about the darker side of
that experience: lack of sleep,
isolation and dealing with
surroundings that are constantly
changing.
“Destroyed” represents a bit
of a return to Moby’s earlier
style, with songs with less
instrumentation and more of a
pure electronic and synthesizer-
driven sound. However, the
happy-go-lucky dance anthems
Moby’s casual fans may expect
are almost entirely nonexistent,
and in terms of overall mood, it
almost seems like he’s continuing
right where he left off from his
prior album, “Wait For Me.”
The album begins with the
aptly named “The Broken
Places,” which serves as a perfect
introduction for what is to follow.
From track to track, “Destroyed”
flows along and pulls the listener
into a deep, mesmerizing trance
evoking thoughts of loneliness,
despair and a longing to be
somewhere else. Songs such
as “Be The One,” “The Day”
and “When You Are Old” are
particularly depressing (but still
beg to be heard), and on only a
few tracks are there any glimpse
of light or thought of an escape
from the world that Moby is
describing on “Destroyed.”
It’s not often that one can say
that an artist has truly put part
of themselves into an album, but
one cannot help but feel some
of what Moby has felt while
composing “Destroyed.” While it
may not be the most fun album to
listen to, it’s thoughtful and well-
composed and should allow fans
a glimpse into the sometimes
not-so-exciting world of being
a rock star. Expressing emotion
is difficult for many people, and
to do that so well — either good
feelings or bad ones — using
sound and lyrics is a real gift.

Weekender Music Columnist
The teens of Tell Me Tomorrow, who are slated to
release their debut CD, ’Yours Tonight.’
Young & restless
T “Whenever we’re
here was a time, not so
long ago, when if you
were a high school
freshman, releasing your own
album was but a dream. First,
you’d have to really begin to
master your instrument and
then somehow put together a
really good band. Then, of
course, it seemed the only
way to make a record was get
a record deal, which was
nearly impossible, especially
for someone so young.
Times have changed. And
for the better. And in the DIY
world of 2011, even a group
of high school students can
cut and release a quality CD.
Such is the case with Tell
Me Tomorrow, an engaging
and impressive group of teens
that is about to release its
debut CD, “Yours Tonight.”
And despite the youth of the
band’s members, the project
was actually years in the
making.
“We wrote our first song in,
like, fifth grade,” says vocal-
ist and violinist Sara Scavone,
who is joined in the group by
her twin sister, Samantha.
“My dad is a musician, and
he always wrote songs, and it
was just natural, I guess. Our
dad is the one who taught us
how to play the instruments
we play. We’d always see him
write songs, so we always
having a problem,
or something goes
on at school, we
just come home
and write about it.”
Samantha Scavone
of Tell Me Tomorrow
wanted to write songs.”
Samantha, who sings and
plays guitar in the band,
agrees.
“Whenever we’re having a
problem, or something goes
on at school, we just come
home and write about it,” she
says. “That’s just kind of how
we deal with it. Pretty much
anything can inspire me to
write a song, but most of the
time it’s about friends or
some kind of relationship.”
“We like to write songs for
our friends,” adds Sara. “And
it’s not like we write separate
songs. We write the songs
together. And it really helps
that we’re sisters, because
usually we feel the same
way.”
In addition to the sisters,
Tell Me Tomorrow features

have them leave saying, ‘I Lisa

would like.” W Luzerne

Weekender General Manager

“
Style Pick:
Audrey I always wear
Golosky this white
gold heart
of Scranton necklace. A

A
udrey Golosky knows a thing
boy gave it
or two about fashion. At a to me when
mere 4 feet 11 inches tall, this
20-year-old Scranton native I was 15 — I
has big tastes — even if she has to work
them into some kids’ clothing sizes.
don’t even
Growing up, Golosky may not have talk to him
had a whole lot of choices since she was
either wearing her Scranton Prep school anymore, but
uniform or her cross-country attire, but I just like it.”
during her senior year of high school,
when she got a job and could start buying
her own clothes, she began to develop
her own sense of style. Now a senior
English major at Temple University, this
fashion-forward young lady mixes a
natural look with an ultra-feminine twist
and always makes sure she looks good
to prepare her for any direction her day
might take her.
A fan of Free People Clothing
Boutique, Urban Outfitters and Zappos.
com (due to their wide selection and
speedy turnaround time), Golosky often
has to rely on the kids’ section when
choosing attire for her tiny stature.
“I really like pants for some reason,”
she says of her shopping habits. “But a
lot of times I have to buy kid-size pants.
I shop a lot at J. Crew Kids because they
have really nice pants.”
Golosky’s favorite selection of her
wardrobe is a particular button-down
blouse. Depending upon it as her security
shirt, she can guarantee that, no matter
what kind of fashion day she is having,
she will be able to pull the outfit off if
wearing this shirt.
“It always looks good,” she says.
When asked to describe her style,
Golosky struggles with a definitive
answer.
“Sometimes I shop for specific items
that will make the entire outfit,” she
shares. “Other times, I shop for stuff that
will go with everything.”
For this shoot, Golosky is wearing a
peach ruffle dress from Urban Outfitters;
high-waist shorts from Urban Outfitters
with a red tank top from American
Eagle; a soft blue denim dress from Free
People; skinny jeans from Abercrombie
Kids with a Free People vest and Frye

1968 CAMARO RS
Owner:
Dave Yachera of Hazleton
“My father bought the car for me
when I was a junior in high school,”
shares Yachera, who has owned this
Camaro since 1970. “I couldn’t believe it
when I came home from school that day
and saw the car.
“I started to restore the car about
three years ago. I had trouble finding
someone to paint the car at a reasonable
price,” he says, adding that he eventually
took the Camaro to Tony Durso, who
sold the car to his father and agreed to
paint the exterior Matador Red. W

WHO IS... BARRY KAPLAN

Barry Kaplan

T
Saddle Lake, Tunkhannock

he eclectic Barry Kaplan

knows a thing or two about
organic food and green living.
Just visit his store, Everything
Natural on State Street in
Clarks Summit, and take a
tour through the many food
and gift aisles. This energetic
entrepreneur is an active
volunteer in the Abingtons, as well as successful
Realtor.
With a plethora of awards under his belt —
including the 2001 and 2009 Pennsylvania Waste
Watchers Award for Commercial Recycling/
Environmental Education, 2009 Greater Scranton
Chamber of Commerce Green Powerhouse, 2010
Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce Sage
Award for Environmental Practices and Best Realtor,
Best of the Abingtons 2007 and 2009-2011 — you
could say that Barry’s successes stem from his
commitment to his fields and community.
Heck, his awards go all the way back to his youth
when he won the DAR Citizenship Award in 1969
(and who could forget the Romper Room “Good Do
Bee” award in 1958?).
Occupation: Natural/organic/green retailer and
Realtor
Hobbies: Cycling, bird watching, reading,
skiing
Craziest thing you’ve ever done: Hey, I’ve
gotta keep some secrets!
Places you’ve traveled and your ultimate
favorite place: Much of the United States,
Ecuador, Hawaii, England, Israel. I love the Outer
Banks (N.C.), but ultimate? Even with all the
splendor of the world, home with my family!
What did you want to be when you grew
up? A veterinarian. Do I have to grow up? I ain’t
done yet.
Favorite song: That varies so often. This
week, I’d have to say Bach Cello Suite No. 1, but
next week it could be Jackson Browne or the Bonzo
Dog Band.
If your best friend had to describe you,
what would he/she say? Here is how a friend
described me: Cheerful, devoted family man,
eccentric, fun, fun, fun, reliable, thoughtful, sincere,
witty, a hippiefied entrepreneur and business savvy.
Community involvement: Hooey!
Lots: Board Member of the Abington Business
and Professional Association multiple terms

By Nikki M. Mascali
Weekender Editor
SARGENT LOBSTER
L
ast week, Dish had a
chance to chat with Ben
Sargent, host of “Hook,
Line & Dinner,” which debuted
on the Cooking Channel Tues-
day, June 7.
Known as “The Lobster
Pusha Man,” thanks to his Un-
derground Lobster Pound,
where the surfer/restaurateur sold
lobster rolls out of his Brooklyn
apartment, “Hook, Line & Din-
ner” follows Sargent coast to
coast as he joins seafood on its
journey from sea to table.
Sargent, whose grandfather
was a fishery head, grew up in
Cambridge, Mass., and graduated
with a bachelor’s in fine arts with
a concentration in sculpture.
WEEKENDER: How did
fine arts lead to owning a sea-
food restaurant?
SARGENT: I ask myself that
all the time (laughs). I moved to
New York to intern with an artist,
and I discovered, strangely, surf-
ing, which was a past passion of
mine. I discovered it in Rocka-
way, Queens and knew immedi-
ately that I wanted to open up a
little place for these strange New
York surfers so they have a han-
gout. … I couldn’t do a surf shop
because there wasn’t a lot of us; I
needed something to bring peo-
ple in, and there’s nothing better
than a little food and beer.
At that time, the thing I was
most familiar cooking with was
New England-style seafood, so I
immediately called my father and
said that I needed (my grandfa-
ther’s) recipe for New England
clam chowder — my family does
the New England seafood thing
pretty naturally. I didn’t need
much, just four to five chowders,
some lobster rolls.
WEEKENDER: What can
people expect from “Hook,
Line & Dinner?”
SARGENT: It’s a really legiti-
mate show in the sense that when
I’m fishing with these guys, it’s
following the fish from sea to
table. I go to the end of the dock
on my motorcycle, I find the
fisherman, and I get on the boat
with them. I will sometimes get
seasick, which is really embar-
rassing, especially when the crew
doesn’t.
Then we follow the seafood
right to the processor, and from
the processor to the chef in the
Ben Sargent, host of ‘Hook, Line & Dinner,’ which
debuted on the Cooking Channel Tuesday, June 7.
“It’s following the
fish from sea
to table.”
Ben Sargent on what viewers
can expect from his show
kitchen. And what’s cool about
that is we usually arrive at the
worst times, right at their busiest
hours, middle of lunch, middle of
dinner. We want to be right in the
action, and it’s amazing; burning,
scalding-hot pans, tickets flying,
everybody’s shouting at each
other. It’s the real deal, and I just
jump right into the action and try
not to get in the way.
WEEKENDER: Where was
your favorite place you filmed?
SARGENT: It’s hard to say
because on the one hand, places
like Portland, Ore., felt so legiti-
mate. You’re talking high seas,
freezing-cold weather — this is
fishing at its best. But here I am
on my motorcycle freezing, freez-
ing, and the next thing I know I
have to get on a boat, which is
going to get even colder!
While that was so legit, I have
to say when I got to places like
San Diego, and the sun was
shining on me, and I’m in a
T-shirt, I was so happy! And then
I got to do cool things, like div-
ing for urchins … and the next
thing you know, you’re eating
fresh urchin on the boat. It
doesn’t get any better than that.
WEEKENDER: What is the
No. 1 lesson you’d like your
viewers to learn about seafood?
SARGENT: First off, I would
just say that it’s not difficult.
WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 2011
Seafood is actually one of the
easier things to cook. One of the
other things I would say is that,
as a consumer, you’re going to
learn a little something from the
show.
WEEKENDER: Lobster
rolls are your thing. What
makes The Perfect Roll?
SARGENT: Simplicity. Like
everything we do on the show, it’s
starting with a fresh product. In
my case, what made my lobster
roll somewhat famous is that my
lobster was coming from Maine,
sometimes it wasn’t even 24
hours out of Maine’s ocean water.
Let the key ingredient, lobster,
shine through. Don’t start with
your mayonnaise, start with your
lobster — the mayo is a little
something extra, and butter is the
same. I don’t do any garnishing, I
don’t put a bed of lettuce on
there, I don’t even put celery —
it’s all about the lobster.
WEEKENDER: What are
two things you always have in
fridge?
SARGENT: Well … lobster
(laughs). Back in the day, I prob-
ably had $3,000 worth of lobster
in my fridge at any given mo-
ment, I’d actually designate my
entire fridge to lobster, even in
the little egg compartment on the
side. Another thing is Old Bay,
I’m a big fan of Old Bay, and I
have it everywhere, not in the
refrigerator, but I should own
stock in that company.

Weekender Correspondent
Courage, a gray tabby cat, has been at the SPCA for more than a year.
Bikers:
An animal's best friend
O
n Sunday, June 12, motor-
cycle enthusiasts will
show that they are indeed
dog’s and cat’s best friends. Sun-
day marks the 15th year that
motorcycle riders have been
coming out to pitch in and help
animals at the SPCA. For 13 of
those years, the Wyoming Valley
Motorcycle club (WVMC) has
run the rain-or-shine event,
which will be held at Bentley’s
(2300 Route 309, Ashley) with
Outta the Blue Band. Regis-
tration, which runs from 10:30
a.m.-12:30 p.m., is at the Plains
Twp. SPCA (524 E. Main St.,
Plains Twp.).
“It is awesome that they do this
for us,” Cary Moran of the SPCA
said. “What’s really great is that
they do all the work.”
Moran was sad to have to
break the news that Angus, the
beloved St. Bernard dog that
opened the ride each year, had
passed away. However, A.J., who
is also a St. Bernard, will be
there to try to fill in Angus’s
spot.
When asked about the needs of
the animals this year Moran said,
“The priority is to keep the shel-
ter going, and to raise awareness
for their spay and neuter pro-
gram. Last week we had 73 cats
dropped off over a period of three
days.”
Walking into the SPCA in
Plains Twp., there is a tally board
that reads: “In May, the shelter
received 544 animals. There were
142 dogs, 379 cats and 23 other
animals dropped off at the shel-
ter. That’s just one month.
“The younger generation is not
getting their animals spayed or
neutered,” Moran said.
When you don’t spay or neuter
your animal, it affects many
facets: The behavior of the ani-
mal, the health of the animal, the
social responsibility of the own-
ers and it is the No. 1 reason for
animal abuse.
Prevent abuse, spay and neuter
your pet. That’s the message
from this shelter. Moran also
mentioned that to help with the
costs for these procedures, the
SPCA does have an assistance
program. If you are eligible, you
would pay only $10 to neuter a
male cat, and $15 for a female cat
spay.
Moran also mentioned that
June is Adopt a Shelter Cat
Month. These cats are free to a
really good home. They just ask
that you consider making a dona-
tion to the spay and neuter pro-
gram. They believe that adoption
is the best option. I met a little
gray tabby cat named Courage,
he’s been at the shelter for more
than a year. He really wants
someone to come and give him a
good home.
While there I also met Roxie,
she’s an English bulldog who is
being used as the new education-
al dog. She is owned by Janet
Horney. The SPCA offers all
kinds of educational programs
from pre-k right through high
school.
Moran, who is allergic to cats
and dogs, seems an unlikely fit
for an animal shelter.
“I’ve always believed, if you
are going to do something for
your livelihood, it should be
something that benefits other
people,” she said. “This is a great
job. I get to teach people how to
take care of animals. This job is
cool.”
And you can see how all the
animals (and even the staff) enjoy
being around Moran.
This is what the WVMC sees
as well when they keep coming
back to run this event for the
animals — a way to give back to
those who have no voice and no
one else to help.
If you would like to help, you
can come to the ride, donate food
and cat litter or volunteer at the
shelter.

‘Sunset Tan’ in 2008.

Y
ou can dress a pig in a suit,
but you can’t stop him
from grunting. The same
goes for an intern who lives by
the motto “It’s 5 o’clock some-
where” and has a knack for mis-
chief. Dress them in a suit, and
they’ll still find an excuse to
double-fist vodka martinis while
managing to get Ryan Seacrest’s
secret girlfriend to admit he was
a passenger on her skin bus into
tuna town, in so many words …
It was E!’s Oscar After Party
2008! The event was televised
live from the Roosevelt Hotel in
the center of Hollywood. When I
was given the opportunity to be
one of the 40 guests to appear as
an “extra” in the background of
the E! personalities recapping the
night, I jumped on it. Not only
was I drawn to the chance of
appearing on TV, but I was sold
to the fact the event would have
an open bar.
The party was held on a bright,
stunning set inside the Roosevelt.
Producers placed four to five
people around a transparent table
that lit up. When one of the “Olly
Girls” from the E! reality show
“Sunset Tan” was assigned to my
table, I knew the night would get
interesting.
It was easy to make small talk

tually found ourselves drinking at

quite an inappropriate pace.
An unknown amount of marti-
nis and one drunk sweat later, the
stumbling “Olly Girl” asked me
to take a picture of her middle
finger with her cell phone so she
could send it to her boyfriend.
“He’s an ass,” she slurred,
middle finger upright. “He goes
to bed early like an old man and
wakes up at four in the morning,
and he works at E!”
Familiar with Seacrest’s work-
load, I jokingly suggested, “Are
you dating Ryan Seacrest?”
Her eyes opened wide, and she
spit her drink out while her
roommate nodded, placing her
finger over her lips implying it
was a secret. This reaction con-
firmed for me that Seacrest was
“allegedly” tickling her belly
from the inside!
I couldn’t believe I uncovered
who the host of “American Idol”
was smashing pissers with.
Two months later, Perez Hilton
broke the story on his blog, but I
unraveled celebrity gossip first-
hand two months before him, so,
in your face, Perez, you ugly,
nasty, filthy piece of troll shit! W

WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 2011
By Caeriel Crestin
Weekender Correspondent
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
If you could potentially stop someone
from hurting themselves, you should feel
some obligation to try. Of course, there’s
only so much you can do — but that’s no
excuse to simply do nothing. Take your
friend’s keys away when he tries to leave
that party drunk. Perhaps the situation
you could prevent this week is less obvi-
ous than that, but the basic idea is the
same. Your hands may be somewhat tied
here, but don’t delude yourself into
thinking you’re powerless. Speak up, step
up — just don’t stand back and watch.
Even if you don’t succeed, at least you
won’t have to regret not trying.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
There are a million things we do that
tacitly support stuff we don’t approve of.
Buying gas, paying taxes and numerous
other purchases probably end up fueling
something you’d rather they didn’t. It’s
laudable to attempt to minimize that kind
of thing by being conscious of where
your money goes and what’s done with
it, or making efforts to counterbalance it
when you can’t (is there a truly ethical
company to buy gasoline from, for exam-
ple?). But at some point you have to let
yourself (and the people you know) off
the hook — or drive everyone crazy.
Those are your options.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
Every time you get burned, extending
trust becomes more difficult. But it also
becomes more important. Each new
person is just as likely (or, yes, unlikely)
to deserve your trust as the last, and
really shouldn’t be treated as a liar sim-
ply because you’ve encountered deceitful
people in your past. That’s not to say you
should simply blindly trust anyone who
comes along. However, being willing to
take an educated leap of faith early on
will get you burned a few more times,
sure, but it will also make you, ultimate-
ly, a much happier person.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
This week, let intentions count for
more than actions. That’s important be-
cause some of those actions are likely to
majorly piss you off. However, if you
consider the excellent (if misguided,
foolish, or clumsy) intentions behind the
annoying shit that’s happened, you may
find yourself feeling touched or affec-
tionate, despite your irritation. That’d be
a good thing, because your poor, sweet
PAGE 54
friend really shouldn’t be punished for
simply being bad at doing you a good
turn. You don’t need to pretend to be
thrilled at how things played out, but you
ought to be able to appreciate what they
were aiming for, no matter how badly
they missed the mark.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Although you try very hard to avoid
conflict, sometimes it’s simply inevitable.
In those situations, you also try very hard
to avoid being “the bad guy.” Unfortu-
nately, you can’t always be the good guy.
You screw up too. That’s OK. The im-
portant thing is to own and accept it,
instead of trying to shift the blame or
evade the consequences. Dealing with the
fallout of poor choices is easy for, say,
an Aries, who generally leaps before she
looks, or a Scorpio, who’s drawn to dan-
gerous scenarios, so they’ve had a lot of
practice. You haven’t. This week, howev-
er, you’re about to get a bit more.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Call the bluff. If someone’s trying to
manipulate you into doing something by
making threats or over-the-top entreaties,
call them on it. You don’t need to be
dramatic about it, but you don’t need to
cater to their melodrama, either. Try: “I
hope you won’t, but do what you’ve got
to do.” Then walk away. That might be a
little scary, depending on what they’re
saying, but it’s nothing compared to
where you might end up if you cave in to
their emotional bullying. You need to get
to a place where they can deal with you
in a reasonable manner, not like a spoiled
child — and this is one way to get there.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Most relationships fail. It’s not you; it’s
the nature of the beast. Sure, some peo-
ple get lucky and score a long-lasting
relationship on their first try (but you
can bet it’s not as simple and fantastic as
it looks from the outside), others require
quite a few tries, and some never find it.
That’s all OK. So much of love is sit-
uation and timing. Try not to let the
missed chances and failed romances of
your past influence how you feel about
yourself today. Not only are you a differ-
ent person now than you were then, so
much of whether or not you succeeded
was never up to you, anyway.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
Every time my life feels even just a
little bit shitty, I force myself to snap out
of feeling sorry for myself by choosing
to notice all the good things I’ve got
going on: being healthy, living in a time
when I can eat better than a king could a
couple centuries ago (on a shoe-string
budget, no less), being able to do lots of
stuff that many people in the world will
probably never get a chance to and for
just being alive. Get some perspective.
Your problems are only a tiny fraction of
the big picture and nowhere near as ter-
rible or insurmountable as you’re making
them out to be.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Worrying about what other people
think of you really should have stopped
once you graduated high school. But
sometimes it’s not as easy as that, espe-
cially when those people have some
power over you or influence on your life,
like employers or in-laws. However, re-
member the most liberating times in your
high school days when you did what felt
right no matter what people thought, and
to hell with the consequences! Whether
or not you ever got to experience that
heady freedom then, it’s time to feel it
now. Just go for it this week.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
You may be the most flexible sign in
the zodiac (in more ways than one!), but
that doesn’t mean you should let anyone
steamroll you. It’s easy to get knocked
down by a bull-headed Taurus or bowled
over by a Leo’s incredible enthusiasm,
but sometimes you just need to do what
you can to stay on your feet and hold
your ground. First step is decide to stick
to your guns; second step is figuring out,
quickly, which direction those guns are
pointing. Easier said than done, I know,
but it’s good practice for you in general
— not all decisions can wait for you to
make up your curious but notoriously
indecisive mind.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
You Rams are usually great at getting
what you want, because you’re very clear
on just what that is. (Of course, once you
get it, you may realize you didn’t actually
want it, but that’s another story.) This
week, lend your expertise to someone
who needs it. I’m not talking about a
“how-to-get-what-you-want” lesson, so
much as “how to figure out what you
want.” That’s the problem your friend is
having. Help them get it sorted. Once
they know exactly what they’re looking
for, getting it will almost seem like an
afterthought.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
Taureans are practical hedonists. Gen-
erally, you know exactly how to strike the
right balance between saving for a rainy
day and simply enjoying the pleasures of
today. There are those in your life, how-
ever, who are about as far from that wise
equilibrium as one can get. Some scrimp
and save and never indulge themselves,
while others live it up today and forget to
think about tomorrow. Help these poor
souls figure that shit out. The Scrooges
need to learn to live, and the party ani-
mals must be taught how to plan for the
future — and no one is better suited to
impart both lessons than you are. W
