Online comment
of the week.
Just found out that facebook
is buying instagram for $1
billion. SICK, cant wait to see
how they ruin that. Whats
next?.. Twitter?

Letter from the editor
I
m one of those people
who can put a CD on
(yes, Im also one of
those antiquated people who
still listen to them) and keep
it on repeat. For days on
end. Sometimes, months
even. When music speaks to
me, it speaks to me, and I
have to have it in my ears
constantly.
A recent example would be
The Menzingers new album,
On The Impossible Past,
which hasnt left rotation
since I first got an advance
copy in the mail a few
weeks ago. The album coin-
cides with some life happen-
ings Ive had of late, but
more importantly, its just
that good. The Scranton-bred
punks will perform locally
next week, but you can find
out how NEPA has influen-
ced the band and how
being on a big indie
label has changed
them for the better in
this weeks cover
story on pgs. 16-17.
Though I may be
biased, the rest of the
issue is chockablock
of goodness that in-
cludes correspondent
Amy Longsdorf s
interview with Guy
Pearce, who has been
in movies like L.A.
Confidential and
The Kings Speech and
stars in this weeks Lock-
out (p. 30).
Staff Writer Stephanie De-
Balko had an interesting
conversation with Craig Yoe,
wholl be featured at Mary-
wood Universitys Creativity
Conference, which ranged
from Mickey Mouse to
McDonalds (p. 37) while
intern Amanda Riemensnyder
got All Shook Up, so to
speak, for this weeks Stage
story (p. 43) and resident
imp Justin Brown shares
another crazy memory in
Sorry Mom & Dad (p. 50).
I could keep going, but
Im out of room, so I guess
youll have to start flipping
pages. As always, thanks for
reading!

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
FRENCH FULL-BODY
HEALTH CARE
As the U.S. governments role
in health care is debated, the
French governments role was
highlighted in February with a
report on Slate.com about
Frances guarantee to new moth-
ers of 10 to 20 free sessions of
la reeducation perineale (vagi-
nal re-toning to restore the pre-
pregnancy condition, a corner-
stone of French post-natal care,
according to Slate). The sessions
involve yoga-like calisthenics to
rebuild muscles and improve
genital flexibility. Similar proce-
dures in the U.S. not only are
not government entitlements, but
are almost never covered by
private insurance, and besides,
say surgeons, the patients who
request them do so almost en-
tirely for aesthetic reasons. The
French program, by contrast, is
said to be designed not only for
general health but to strengthen
women for bearing more chil-
dren, to raise the birth rate.
COMPELLING
EXPLANATIONS
-- Drill, Baby, Drill: U.S. Rep.
Louie Gohmert of Texas may
have been joking, but according
to a February Washington Post
story, he seemed serious at a
Natural Resources Committee
hearing when searching for yet
more reasons why the U.S.
should support oil drilling in
Alaska. Caribou, he said, are
fond of the warmth of the Alas-
kan pipeline. So when they
want to go on a date, they invite
each other to head over to the
pipeline. That mating ritual,
Rep. Gohmert concluded, is
surely responsible for a recent
tenfold increase in the local
caribou population.
-- In assigning a bail of only
$20,000, the judge in Ellisville,
Miss., seemed torn about wheth-
er to believe that Harold Hadley
is a terrorist that is, did Ha-
dley plant a bomb at Jones
County Junior College? In Feb-
ruary, investigators told WDAM-
TV that the evidence against
Hadley included a note on toilet
paper on which he had written
in effect, I passed a bomb in
the library. However, no bomb
was found, and a relative of
Hadleys told the judge that
Hadley often speaks of breaking
wind as passing a bomb. The
case is continuing.
-- Melvyn Webb, 54, was
acquitted in March of alleged
indecent behavior on a train. An
eight-woman, four-man jury in
Reading (England) Crown Court
found Webbs explanation entire-
ly plausible that he was a
banjo player and was playing
some riffs underneath the news-
paper in his lap. (S)ometimes I
do, with my hands, pick out a
pattern on my knees, he said.
(On the other hand, the female
witness against him had testified
that Webb was facing me,
breathing heavily and snarling.)
IRONIES
-- Earl Persell, 56, was arrest-
ed in Palm Bay, Fla., in February
when police were summoned to
his home on a domestic violence
call. Persells girlfriend said he
had assaulted her and held her
down by the neck, and then
moments later, with his truck,
rammed the car she was driving
away in. The subject of the cou-
ples argument was legendary
singer Tina Turner and her late,
wife-beating husband, Ike.
-- Mark Chopper Read only
wanted to help out his sons
youth athletics program in the
Melbourne, Australia, suburb of
Collingwood in February, but
was rebuffed. He had offered his
assistance at track meets by, for
instance, firing the starters pis-
tol for races, but officials de-
clined after learning that Read
had recently been released from
prison after 23 years and had
boasted of killing 19 people and
once attempting to kidnap a
judge at gunpoint.
-- Damien Bittar of Eugene,
Ore., turned 21 at midnight on
March 15 and apparently wanted
to get a quick start on his legal-
drinking career. By 1:30 a.m.,
his car had been impounded, and
he had been charged with DUI,
reckless driving and criminal
mischief after he accidentally
crashed into an alcohol rehabil-
itation center.
LEAST COMPETENT
CRIMINALS
(1) Maureen Reed, 41, was
charged with DWI in March in
Lockport, N.Y., after arriving at
a police station inebriated. She
had gotten into an altercation
with two others at the Niagara
Hotel and left to go press charg-
es. The police station is about
200 feet from the hotel, but
Reed unwisely decided to drive
her car there instead of walking.
(2) Two men were robbed in a
motel room in Bradenton, Fla.,
in February by Cedrick Mitchell,
39, who pulled a handgun on
them, but lost it in a struggle
when the men started to fight
back. One of the men pepper-
sprayed Mitchell, sending him
fleeing. He returned a few min-
utes later and begged to buy the
gun back for $40, but all he got
was another pepper-spraying.
Police arrested Mitchell nearby.
COULD BE TRUE.
MAYBE NOT.
In Port Harcourt, Nigeria, in
March, police finally straight-
ened out the street confrontation
between several men and a
wheelchair-using man who, they
thought, was making their penis-
es disappear. According to Na-
tional Network Newspapers, the
police brought all parties to the
station and ordered pants to be
pulled down. All organs were
said to be intact, but one man
still complained that his had
been made lifeless. W
For more, visit

John Hughes, 55, was fined $1,000 in February in Butte, Mont.,
after pleading guilty to reckless driving for leading police on a 100-mph-
plus chase starting at 3:25 a.m. After police deflated his tires
and arrested him, an officer asked why he had taken off. Said Hughes,
I just always wanted to do that.

The Menzingers vocalist/guitarist Tom May
on coming up in NEPAs all-ages scene
New album brings area-bred
troubadours home
By Nikki M. Mascali
Weekender Editor

Youll carve your


names into the
Paupack Cliffs/
Just to read them
when you get old
enough to know that happi-
ness is just a moment, go
the lyrics in Gates, a song
on The Menzingers new
album On The Impossible
Past.
It just goes to show that
you can take the band,
currently touring America
before heading to Europe at
the end of the month, out of
the Scranton area, but you
cant take the Scranton area
out of the band.
There just inuences so
much, guitarist/vocalist
Tom May shared during a
recent phone call before a
show in Idaho. On the new
record, there are several
songs that reference people
and places in Scranton; in
fact, I think every single
song has some reference.
The Philadelphia-based
Menzingers which is
rounded out by guitarist/
vocalist Greg Barnett, drum-
mer Joe Godino and bassist
Eric Keen name checks
the Pennsylvania Turnpike
bridge, aka the Freedom
Bridge, in South Abington
Twp. that spans over Routes
6 and 11 and the Sun Hotel,
a now-closed bar in Scran-
ton that used to let us drink
there underage all the time,
May said.
Coming from a place
like Scranton, where we still
have so many friends and
family, just shaped us as
people, he continued. And
I think it gave us a unique
experience on the American
experience itself. We see
so much of the world, and
every time we go some other
place, whether were in Ger-
many or Sydney, Australia,
were constantly comparing
it to where were from.
The area that helped shape
The Menzingers will also
help kickoff a record-release
weekend for On The
Impossible Past Thursday,
April 19 when the foursome
performs at Redwood Art
Space in Plains Twp. The
show includes Tigers Jaw,
The Front Bottoms, The
Holy Mess and Luther, and
precedes dates in Boston,
Philadelphia and Brooklyn.
After forming in 2006 out
of Bob and the Sagets and
Kos Mos, which also fea-
tured members of Captain,
Were Sinking and Tigers
Jaw, The Menzingers came
up in now-defunct all-ages
venues like Wilkes-Barres
Cafe Metropolis and Test
Pattern in Scranton.
I think what we took
from that the most is the
idea that we did it all
ourselves, May said. We
would be a local band, and

there would be 200 people at the
show, thats, like, unheard of for 16,
17 year-old kids. We learned that if
it wasnt there for us, we needed to
make it ourselves.
The thing I can remember the
most is all the nights we spent at
Cafe Metropolis. Man, we played
there constantly, so many things
happened there, he added, laugh-
ing.
After the groups demo landed
in the hands of Go-Kart Records,
its debut album, ALesson In The
Abuse Of Information Technology,
soon followed.
We were like, Oh, wait a min-
ute. People actually like this music!
We could totally tour and book it
ourselves and do this music, May
said. Then we just wanted to keep
chasing it, and we picked up and
moved to Philadelphia and now
were here.
IN GOOD COMPANY

On The Impossible Past,


the bands rst album with
Epitaph Records, follows
its 2007 Go-Kart debut and
Chamberlain Waits, which was
released via Red Scare Industries in
2010.
May explained that being on Epi-
taph, a high-prole indie label thats
home to Bad Religion, Weezer and
Pennywise, to name a few, has de-
nitely changed us for the better.
It really gives you a lot of con-
dence because these people have
been doing this for so long and are
one of the few big independent
labels that have completely survived
the downfall of the modern-day la-
bel. Theyre doing it right, and they
believe in us, so it makes us believe
in ourselves more.
Signing with Epitaph last spring
changed the bands recording pro-
cess as well.
This one, we had a lot more time
in the studio, so we were able to do
all sorts of ne tuning that we nor-
mally werent able to do, May said.
We had a lot more time to shape
the songs into what they actually
became than previously.
Unlike its rst two records, which
the band took months to write and
collect songs for, The Menzingers
wrote On The Impossible Past
over the course of a few weeks
as the four holed up in Barnetts
mothers house in Lake Ariel.
We just, every day, worked on
songs, and thats how we wrote the
album, May recalled. You could
actually see the stars up there, it
was incredible. The one thing that
was cool was that my brother and
Gregs brother were also staying in
the house they were working up
there and it was a really close-
knit environment where we really
had no other responsibilities except
to write.
The result is a 13-song outing that
blends the bands punk upbringing
with emotive vocals that range from
joyful to fraught and true to the
poignant lyrics. May credits that out-
come to the groups producer Matt
Allison, who has worked with The
Menzingers before and owns the
Chicago studio where the album was
recorded.
Were not classically trained
musicians in any respect; theres
certain things about singing and
certain things about enunciating and
just getting the emotion out that he
helped bring out of us, May stated.
So, that denitely really helped. I
guess we just kind of go for it, and
thats what comes out.
On The Impossible Past has
received much acclaim from outlets
like Alternative Press, Kerrang! and
PopMatters, something May said the
band is ecstatic about.
Its one of those things that I
focused on since I was 17. For it to
actually start happening, its de-
nitely really surreal, he shared. Its
reafrming a lot of people seem
to be saying very genuine things
about the album, its so exciting, its
incredible.
When we get an e-mail with a
review in it, we get all thumbs and
start laughing like a bunch of kids,
he confessed, laughing.
As with most bands that have a
less-than-obvious name, the Week-
ender had to ask May the Whats-
the-story-behind-the-name ques-
tion.
Usually, when somebody asks
me that, I make up a different lie for
it, but in actuality, its the phonetic
spelling of the German word for a
troubadour. Theres no great, ironic,
genius name for it but weve
become traveling musicians, so I
guess it makes sense, he said with a
laugh. W

The Mickey Hart Band will perform at Penns Peak (325 Maury
Road, Jim Thorpe) Thursday, April 12 at 8 p.m. The show will
feature brand-new material from the band, as well as songs from
Harts solo catalog and the Grateful Dead.
In October, Smithsonian Folkways Recordings released the
Mickey Hart Collection to preserve and further the longtime
Dead percussionists endeavor to cross borders and expand mu-
sical horizons.
Tickets for the all-ages show are $24, and Hart is donating 100
percent of the ticketing fees from tickets sold on MickeyHart.net
to Music Therapy research; tickets are also available at the ven-
ue box office and Ticketmaster.

the new album, titled When
The World Is Not Enough,
is its first official release.
Its surreal, says lead
vocalist and guitarist Adam
McKinley. If you asked me
five years ago if Id have an
album with a rock band in
five years, I probably would
have said, No. I think were
all very excited about it. We
put a lot of time and work
into it, and we think weve
put out of a pretty profes-
sional product and that peo-
ple are going to enjoy it.
McKinley, the bands pri-
mary lyricist, says inspiration
for songs comes from many
places.
It could be anything, real-
ly, he says. I dont try to
go for anything specific or
try to have a certain style. I
just like to write what I
think is interesting to not
only me, but to other people.
I try to tell stories and come
up with scenarios its
almost like doing a score for
a movie in a way. You hear
some music and a chord
progression, and if its a cool
idea, you run with it. Thats
how I came up with a James
Bond kind of thing with
When The World Is Not
Enough. The little riff in the
beginning sounded, to me,
like something that would be
in a James Bond film, so I
just kind of went with it.
Danny Drank Whiskey has
a little bit more of a coun-
try-rock, bluesy beat and
rhythm to it.
The album was recorded at
the McCrindle Building Re-
cording Studio and was pro-
duced by the band and Jody
Busch Sr. McKinley says the
producer has become both a
mentor and a friend to the
band.
Hes the best, he says.
We got pretty lucky in get-
ting him. He has that father-
ly/teacher-like presence for
us. When we needed to get
something done, he knew
how to handle us, keep us
focused, and keep us going
on the right path.
The band will perform
Wednesday, April 11 at the
Woodlands for the Week-
ender/Mountaingrown Origi-
nal Music Series. It will
mark the bands second ap-
pearance at the monthly live
radio broadcast. The album
will be released on Saturday,
April 14 at a CD-release
party at the River Street Jazz
Cafe in Plains Twp. It will
be available at Gallery of
Sound and as a digital down-
load through sites such as
iTunes by early May.
SUZE also features Kevin
Gallagher on drums, Brandin
Shaffern on bass, Adam Ga-
briel on lead guitar and An-
gelo Miraglia on keyboards.
Influences include Led Zep-
pelin, moe., Phish, Pink
Floyd, Radiohead, The White
Stripes and Rage Against
The Machine. The group
plays frequently at Senunas
in Wilkes-Barre and is also
finding a welcome home at
the Jazz Cafe. McKinley says
the band appreciates those
that come out to the shows
and attributes the groups
success to its love for music.
Its a cliche thing to say,
but I think its just that we
all just really like to play,
he says. When you have a
following, it makes it that
much better, and we do have
a small following now, so its
really cool. At this point, its
more like, How many peo-
ple are going to be there?
rather than, Is anybody go-
ing to be there?, which is a
good feeling. But I mostly
attribute that to the fact that
we like to play, and we like
to get better. We also think
that we write pretty good
songs, and we want to keep
that momentum going. W
Though together since 2007, SUZE will release its
debut CD Saturday, April 14.

While never achieving the
same levels of status or fame of
some of its peers in the world of
thrash metal, Overkills persist-
ence and refusal to go away
quietly is impressive. The New
Jersey-based outfit recently
released The Electric Age,
which marks the bands 16th
album since its founding in 1984.
The album gets off to a thun-
derous beginning with Come
and Get It, building the energy
gradually for a minute or so
before getting down to business.
Longtime fans will soon recog-
nize that Overkill isnt rein-
venting the wheel with The
Electric Age, making use of the
same quick tempo, shredding
guitars, tight rhythm section, and
screeching vocals that have been
important elements of Overkills
music throughout the bands
entire career.
The band plays with real pre-
cision and skill on tracks like
21st Century Man, Drop the
Hammer Down, Black Daze
and All Over But the Shouting,
rocketing through the songs with
such fury and energy that one
almost forgets to breathe until
the album ends with the aptly (if
not ironically) named Good
Night.
A few tracks, such as Electric
Rattlesnake or Old Wounds,
New Scars have themes that are
ever-so-slightly immature, per-
haps even a little punk rock-ish,
but generally speaking The
Electric Age is a solid metal
album through and through.
Its neither revolutionary nor
surprising in any way, but the
vast majority of thrash fans will
enjoy it nonetheless. It represents
the bands style well enough to
serve as an intro piece for newer
fans, and the simple, straight-
forward approach that Overkill
takes to making metal music
should appeal to anyone whose
style of choice is loud, angry and
delivered at a breakneck pace.

Its been seven years since her last
album, but Bonnie Raitt seems to pick up
right where she left off in a consistent
career that began in the early 70s. Slip-
stream begins with the funky r&b of
Used to Rule the World, revs up for
some roadhouse fun with Down to You
and Split Decision and slows for taste-
ful ballads, such as Not Cause I Wanted
To.
Theres also Gerry Raffertys 1979 pop
hit Right Down the Line, which is right
in Raitts wheelhouse and, like much else
here, showcases her emotive slide guitar.
Raitt produced all those numbers, per-
forming them with her own band, and its
all typically solid stuff. But the highlights
are the four tracks helmed by Joe Henry,
using his own musicians, especially two
excellent Bob Dylan numbers, Million
Miles and Standing in the Doorway.
The arrangements are spare and evoca-
tive and bring a new and fresh feel to
Raitts usual blues and folk-based ap-
proaches. It makes you want to hear more
from this collaboration.

Raitt continues
to evolve self,
sound
Raitt seems to pick up
right where she left off in
a consistent career that
began in the early 70s.
Streamlining hardcore, death metal and
thrash into a chugging engine of destruc-
tion, From the Ashes We Shall Rise, the
inaugural EP from Scranton metalcore
band Our Ashes Remain, is like a muscle
car stripped of accoutrements. This thing
is all about speed and power.
The five-track release kicks off with an
apocalyptic ditty called Our Ashes Re-
main, first luring you in with quiet exot-
icism, then hitting you upside the head
with a mess of squealing riffs. As one
would hope for any song a band has
deemed worthy of sharing its name with,
the track is a standout. Unfortunately, the
recording doesnt do it justice.
The limitations of this self-financed
DIY effort are apparent throughout.
Somewhat undone by a thin-sounding
production, the drums are too high in the
mix, and the guitars dont so much crunch
as buzz. Luckily, the band has an ace in
the hole: Frontwoman Jane Moser.
Like a female Mike Patton, Mosers
vocal-chord gymnastics see her shifting
from a whisper to a scream on a dime,
coiling in with melodious crooning before
lashing out in a frenzy of gut-churning
growls n throat-shredding shrieks.
Marrying the attitude and sparse sim-
plicity of hardcore with the jet-black
aggression of heavy metal, what Our
Ashes Remain ultimately does best is
brute force. The relentless groove of
Wasted thunders like dinosaur steps in
the forest, 8 conjures images of heavy
artillery, and They Keep Us Down
pounds imposingly with an industrial
influence.
The dark bass lines and tribal percus-
sions at the start of Fearless hint at
something more, but this band isnt out to
reinvent the wheel. It just wants to burn
rubber.

Special to the Weekender
I
ts refreshing to see a little
variety now and then.
Thats why I was pleasantly
surprised to get my hands on the
LG Lucid.
Given the specifications, you
wouldnt expect the Lucid to be
all that impressive. Its got OK
screen resolution 480x800,
compared to the 720x1280 or
better resolutions sported by
state-of-the-art phones. Its got a
5 megapixel camera, compared
to the 8 megapixel devices now
common at the top of the range.
But the processor is a decent
1.2 Ghz dual-core model, the
RAM and storage are both suffi-
cient, and it has 4G connectivity.
In practice, the camera is pret-
ty good. It can take HD video
and offers autofocus and a flash.
The pictures are crisp, and the
screen, while not breathtaking, is
quite clear.
The Lucid, like most 4G de-
vices, has a front-facing camera
for video chat.
Most important, the phone is
extremely responsive. LG seems
to have done what is nearly im-
possible: Produce a midrange
device that doesnt try to bite off
more than it can chew at an
acceptable price point of $79.99
to boot.
Typically, midrange smart-
phones suffer from being either
underpowered for the software
they support or relatively power-
ful but lacking an important
feature.
The Lucid doesnt seem to
have those issues. Its perfectly
capable of running every bit of
software with power to spare, its
snappy, and its not lacking in
features that might make you
pine for another phone the entire
time you own it.
In terms of construction, the
Lucid is sturdy but light and
sports an interesting chrome
bezel along the sides. It seemed a
bit thick when looking at it edge-
on, but it doesnt feel that way in
the hand. The display is adequate
at 4.0 inches and is protected by
damage-resistant Gorilla Glass,
always a nice feature.
One nitpick is that it currently
runs Android 2.3 as opposed to
the current Android 4.0, the
manufacturer has indicated an
upgrade to Android 4.0 at some
point.
I dont usually recom-
mend midrange phones,
but with the LG Lucid, Id
break that rule; its a great
phone for people who are
looking to get into a fea-
ture-rich smartphone with-
out spending the seeming-
ly ubiquitous $299.99
price tag that most new
devices seem to carry.
At $79.99 from Verizon
Wireless, the Lucid is
something of a bargain
considering the perform-
ance. Its not the most
powerful phone on the
market; its not the fastest
or the thinnest.
But its probably one of
the most balanced devices
you can buy. W
Lucid a
logical choice
Lucid is a great phone for people who want a
smartphone, but dont want to break the bank
getting one.

ralphie report
the
By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender
D
espite Nicole Snooki
Polizzis pregnancy,
MTVs Jersey Shore
producers have not asked Dee-
na Cortese to recruit any new
members for Team Meatball.
We find out as much as
everyone else does, Cortese
told me before her appearance
inside Mohegan Sun at Pocono
Downs last Friday. I honestly
dont know what Im walking
in to.
The cast returns to Seaside
Heights this summer to film
season six of the hit reality
show. In addition to Snookis
forthcoming child, Mike The
Situation Sorrentino just
finished a stint in rehab.
Nicole is supposedly com-
ing down, the blast in a
glass said. I mean, she prob-
ably wont be drinking with
me. But, Nicole and her per-
sonality, me and my person-
ality, you dont even need
alcohol to have a good time.
Well, lets not get ahead of
ourselves here. Surely regard-
less of Snookis soberness,
there will be plenty of the
usual shenanigans that fans of
Jersey Shore have come to
expect. Deena did say that she
also expects that some of her
friends will visit while shes in
the house.
Give me music and a bar,
and Ill just dance on it, real-
ly, Cortese continued, attempt-
ing to convince me that she
doesnt need liquor to party.
Deena has adapted to life in
the spotlight, accumulating
more than a million followers
on Twitter in the process. Her
boyfriend of seven months,
however, prefers to stay away
from the cameras and may not
be seen regularly on the up-
coming season.
Hes not really in to the
limelight and people knowing
about his business, Cortese
said of her beau, Chris
Buckner. Hopefully he does
(come to visit), even just to
get lunch or something.
Cortese assures though that
despite her relationship status,
she is still the same partier
viewers have come to both
love and loathe.
Im the same blast in a
glass, he knows Im a meat-
ball, she said. As long as I
dont cheat on him, me and
him will be fine, and I would
never cheat on him.
But, for better or worse,
what happens in Seaside
Heights ends up on MTV. So
one way or the other, well all
get to see if Deena is true to
her word next season. W

I
t didnt take long for unlikely
action star Guy Pearce to earn
his tough guy stripes on the
set of Lockout. All he had to
do was perform some of his own
stunts, including a number of
complicated moves that left him
with a host of injuries.
I injured myself every week,
he recalls. Not necessarily ma-
jor injuries. But I would pull a
muscle in my leg or, one time, I
fired a gun in this tiny little tun-
nel, and the bullet casing flew
out of the gun and ricocheted off
the roof and went straight down
the back of my shirt.
And of course, I had a flak
vest on, which is kind of tricky to
get off, and the casing was really
hot. So, it burned a mark on my
back in the shape of a bullet
Im sure they have me on film
going, Oh, oh, oh, oh, he adds
with a laugh. Im so nervous
thats going to be on the DVD.
Like an Aussie Daniel Day-
Lewis, Pearce thrives on trans-
formation. One of the industrys
ultimate quick-change artists,
hes morphed from an uptight
police detective in 40s Los An-
geles (L.A. Confidential) to a
grubby outlaw tasked with killing
his brother (The Proposition)
to a bitchy crossdresser on a tour
of the outback (The Adventures
of Priscilla, Queen of the Des-
ert.)
Even though Pearce has made
movies in just about every genre
from literary adaptations (The
Count of Monte Cristo) and
mind-bending thrillers (Me-
mento) to creature features
(Dont Be Afraid Of The Dark)
and war pictures (The Hurt
Locker), hes rarely gotten the
chance to play the swaggering
action star.
With Lockout, due in thea-
ters Friday, April 13, he makes up
for lost time. Newly buff and
about 50 pounds heavier thanks
to a regimen of protein powder,
lots of Serbian meat and weight-
lifting, Pearce plays Agent
Snow, an irreverent wise-cracker
and tough guy.
When I first met with the
directors, they told me they want-
ed a leading guy who (the audi-
ence) could laugh at and laugh
with, recalls Pearce, who was
born in England and raised in
Australia. Snow kind of thinks
hes pretty funny, but hes prob-
ably more troubled than he gives
himself credit for or allows him-
self to be. And so he masks that
with humor and being a smart
aleck. I liked that.
Part sci-fi thriller and part
blood-and-thunder actioner,
Lockout has an international
flavor. It was shot in Serbia,
produced and co-written by the
prolific French moviemaker Luc
Besson (Taken, La Femme
Nikita) and directed by the Irish
team of Stephen St. Leger and
James Mather.
When the movie begins, Snow
is dispatched to MS One, a pris-
on where the presidents daughter
(Maggie Grace) is being held
hostage. The twist is that the
prison is located on a floating
space station where the worlds
500 baddest criminals are kept in
an artificial sleep.
As it turns out, one of Snows
best buddies is an inmate, and
Snow is venturing into deep
space as much to rescue him as
to bring back the presidents
daughter.
I enjoyed where Snows head
was at, says Pearce. I loved the
fact that he (could have cared
less) about the presidents daugh-
ter, hes just there for his buddy. I
thought that was quite funny.
Pearces Agent Snow has been
compared to Bruce Willis in the
Die Hard movies and Kurt
Russell in Escape From New
York and Escape From Los
Angeles. But the actor insists he
didnt pattern Snow after any
other action heroes.
Im sure subconsciously all
those Bruce Willis-type charac-
ters sit somewhere in (my) psy-
che. But I find it best not to sort
of delve back into that stuff too
much otherwise it feels like
youre sort of a plagiarist. Im
always struggling to try and feel
original in what Im doing.
From child actor
to Prometheus
A
lthough hes only 44 years
old, Pearce began acting in
1976. I started my work-
ing life when I was 8 instead of
18, he notes.
Pearce became interested in
acting around the same time his
father New Zealand-born air
force test pilot Stuart Pearce
died in a plane crash. As a
youngster, Guy began landing
roles in theater productions. He
also entered his share of amateur
bodybuilding contests, eventually
netting the title of Junior Mr.
Victoria when he was 16. Two
years later, he became a regular
on the popular Aussie soap
Neighbours.
Since enjoying his film break-
through in 1994 with Priscilla,
Pearce has rarely been without a
job or two or three. Hes
equally at home toplining movies
(Memento, Death Defying
Acts) or playing supporting
roles (Bedtime Stories, Rules
of Engagement, Factory Girl.)
The actor isnt allowed to say
much about his next film,
Alien director Ridley Scotts
much-anticipated, shrouded-in-
secrecy outer-space thriller Pro-
metheus. The film, which co-
stars Charlize Theron, Noomi
Rapace and Michael Fassbender,
is due in theaters in June.
While theres been some spec-
ulation online that Prometheus
is an Alien prequel, Pearce
insists thats not strictly the case.
You can connect the dots to the
Alien films, but Prometheus
is a standalone movie, he says,
noting that his character Peter
Weyland might be related to
Charles Bishop Weyland from
the original Alien series.
The ideas and themes in the
film actually far outweigh any of
the Alien films. Its not an
Alien prequel; its something
far grander.
After Prometheus opens,
Pearces career is a big question
mark and thats just the way
he likes it.
I really thrive on maintaining
an openness to the universe and
seeing what it brings me, he
says. I find that surprise is what
keeps me going. Maybe thats
kind of immature and maybe
thats a part of me that needs to
change. But at the same time, I
dont think so. Spontaneity is
where I find inspiration. W
Guy Pearce is smart-alecky badass Agent Snow in the sci-fi/action thriller Lockout.

novel approach
P
ractice doesnt always
make perfect, but it
certainly doesnt hurt.
And in Lauren Conrads case,
its only proved to be helpful.
With her newest book, The
Fame Game, shes taken her
reality-television prowess and
combined it with some
growth as a writer (even
though referring to her as a
writer might be cringe-
worthy for the truly erudite
reader) to churn out a wick-
edly fun read that doesnt
disappoint in the drama de-
partment.
Having wrapped up her
L.A. Candy series (the first
installment of which was a
tad amateur and stilted), the
MTV alum is kicking off
another literary trilogy with
The Fame Game. This first
morsel follows the vain and
fame-hungry Madison Parker
(to whom weve already been
introduced in Conrads earlier
fictional offerings), aspiring
singer Kate, Hollywood roy-
alty and wannabe actress Car-
men and the sweetly stupid
Gaby as they navigate the ups
and downs of making it in
Los Angeles.
The novel takes turns show-
ing the perspectives of three
of the four girls (Gaby is
excluded, presumably because
the only thing shes got roll-
ing around in her brain is
rocks and calorie counts)
along with their slimy pro-
ducer, Trevor. While theres
no shortage of predictability
or fashion-label references,
the plot that ensues is surpris-
ingly enthralling and fits in
smoothly to its young-adult
niche.
For fans of The Hills and
Conrad, the fun part of read-
ing The Fame Game is
guessing which character is
based on which real-life real-
ity star. Trivial and frivolous?
Sure. But its also a fun di-
version, and Conrads writing
is markedly improved in such
a way that her characters
lives are easy to get absorbed
in. She inspires more emotion
and response from the reader
than ever before, and there
are even a few moments of
humor that are not the least
bit trite.
Admittedly, the references
to Snooki and Zooey Descha-
nel (among other things)
dont lend this book the kind
of shelf life a young-adult
piece like, say, S. E. Hintons
The Outsiders might have,
but they dont take away from
its overall appeal, either. The
Fame Game is an easy page-
turner not only for those who
enjoy reveling in the glorious
misfires of reality television
stars but also for fans of jui-
cy, foreseeable-but-gratifying
fiction.
And Conrad, who has a
multi-platform lifestyle web-
site and a clothing line at
Kohls in addition to the high-
end clothing line Paper
Crown, is no stranger to the
benefits of successful market-
ing. One can even follow the
books nefarious Madison on
Twitter, should one feel so
inclined.

AGENDA, FROM PAGE 31
I
f word association was a
profitable enterprise, then
Canadian comedian Red
Green (aka Steve Smith, but
really, its impossible not to call
him Red) should be getting find-
ers fees from every major duct-
tape distributor in the northern
hemisphere. Having spent about
15 years on The Red Green
Show as everyones favorite
unhandy handyman, theres basi-
cally only one thing in Smiths
book that you cant fix with the
silver stopgap.
Broken duct tape, he said,
laughing, when the Weekender
caught up with him recently.
You have to go to binder twine
on that one. I dont mind cable
ties either, you know those things
with the little plastic ends that
slip in and lock? Theyre not bad.
I think the cops use them as
handcuffs, even.
When pressed about his acces-
sory of choice, Smith explained
that duct tape, which is the epi-
tome of all shortcuts, offers his
fictional character, leader of
Possum Lodge, Chapter 11 in
northern Ontario, Canada, an
expedited way out of hard work.
Red is hard-wired for work
avoidance, he said. And theres
a lot of men like that, they would
rather fix something in 10 min-
utes and have to do it every Sat-
urday than to waste one whole
Saturday fixing it properly.
Smith will be sharing more of
his insights on life as Red Green
when his Wit & Wisdom tour
pays a visit to the F.M. Kirby
Center in Wilkes-Barre Tuesday,
April 17. And hes also saving
some of it for the pages of an
upcoming book hes working on,
tentatively scheduled for a 2013
release, titled A Beginners
Guide to Women.
There are three ways to deal
with women, and none of them
work, he said, laughing. (The
book) is starting from puberty,
really. Up until then, boys and
girls, its too close to call, you
know?
Smith acknowledged that hes
really having a lot of fun with
it. But that seems to be his ap-
proach to just about everything.
Im really doing this because
I want to, he shared. And also
its interesting to me that Ive
never done this before. Its not
like I did live theater or standup
as a young man, and Im going
back to it. So that makes it fresh
for me. Its unusual for a man my
age to be doing something new
thats not a medical procedure.
That particular sense of humor
is what Smith is known for, and
though it would seem that would
narrowly leave him in a niche
market, the fact is that Red Green
is close to the hearts of a wide
range of fans.
I think its a very odd pro-
gram, and its a very odd sense of
humor, so its quite a combo,
Smith said. Like I always say to
people, The Red Green Show
is kind of like the flu, not every-
body gets it. So on the one hand,
it may exclude me from ever
having a huge, mass audience,
but on the other hand, for the
people that enjoy it, there arent
very many places they can see
that kind of thing. So its kind of
like the liabilities become the
assets, if youre not worried
about never being a billionaire.
And while Smith enjoyed
doing the show, hes finding that
life as a touring comic is proving
to be just as rewarding.
We did the show in front of a
live audience, so it had kind of a
live feel to it anyway, he said.
But what Im doing now is
probably the most fun Ive ever
had. Because its not like feeding
a shark, you dont have to gener-
ate 700 pages of script a year and
then hope that you can actually
turn that clothes dryer into a
popcorn machine. Its just more
personal, its more immediate.
Im really enjoying this. W

Comedian Steve Smith (aka Red Green) is always willing
to impart some helpful bits of knowledge whether
about women, his irreverent onstage character or the
multifarious uses of duct tape.

I
t has been surmised that the
appeal of Mickey Mouse is
due, at least in part, to his
round features, which are sub-
liminally appealing because
theyre reminiscent of babies
behinds and womens breasts.
Whether thats true or not,
Craig Yoe, a veritable jack of
all trades bearing the titles of
graphic designer, editor, author
and comics historian, has an
affection for Mickey but feels
more of a kinship with the
edgier Felix the Cat.
I kind of like that rough
edge and that pointy-ness and
the mystery of this all-black
character, Yoe told the Week-
ender recently. And hes kind
of a rebel. Hes not living in
some domestic, nice neigh-
borhood like Mickey must live
in. Hes out there mixing it up
and off on adventures and fan-
tasies, and he doesnt answer to
anybody, and I guess I kind of
identify with Felix the cat, the
wonderful, wonderful cat.
Identify he does. Yoe, who
runs Yoe Books and Yoe Stu-
dios with his wife, Clizia Gus-
soni, is not just a rebel, but one
who has been served well by
his lack of convention. Before
starting his own companies, he
worked for a variety of notable
companies, including Jim Hen-
son, Nickelodeon and Disney.
I think you need to be fear-
less and be willing to totally
take risks, he said. And dont
be pulled back by criticisms or
convention, but damn the tor-
pedoes, full speed ahead.
Just chatting with Yoe for a
few minutes imparts a sense of
imagination, so its easy to see
why he would be a perfect
choice to be one of the presen-
ters at the upcoming Creativity
Conference at Marywood Uni-
versity on Saturday, April 14.
For good or for bad, Ive
never cared what other people
think, he shared. Either in
my art or design or the way I
dress, Im not out to offend
people, but Im not out to get
their acceptance either. So I
like to break the rules and do
new things and march to the
beat of a different drummer. I
have no regrets.
But he later amended that
statement, noting that there is
one thing he now laments.
I have created so many toys
and things like that and a
lot of them were used to entice
kids to eat the crap from
McDonalds, he said. And
now I feel like Im paying back
for my sins, making up for
those indiscretions, and doing
something positive. And you
can quote me about McDo-
nalds. Theyre poisoning our
youth, and I helped do it by
creating Happy Meal toys. I
said I had no regrets theres
a regret.
The way he may be making
up for those indiscretions is
through one of his current
projects, where hes putting his
talents to especially altruistic
good use.
Weve been hired to teach
kids in third-world countries
the importance of washing
their hands after they defecate
and before they eat, he said.
And so they think through the
comic books and radio shows
and posters and billboards and
things weve created, that were
going to save the lives of 5
million kids over the next five
years.
Yoe, who is 61, seems to
have reached a level of con-
tentment in his career, especial-
ly as a comics historian.
I was just reflecting today,
over the last two years, my
wife and I have produced 20
books on the history of comics
and cartoonists, he shared.
Im just really loving that
because I think that comics, the
integration of words and pic-
tures, is just such an exciting
medium. And I love the rich
history of them and the bril-
liant geniuses that did them,
often for little money and rec-
ognition at the time. But now
Im trying to give them
their due, and its a great satis-
faction to me. W

creative pose one would expect from a character like

but then again ...

Weekender Correspondent
T
he road goes on. Not
forever, but from here to
there. From point A to
point B. Cold, hard and un-
caring the road is. Mostly the
road just is. Its a stretch of
road that doesnt invite the
traveler to stop or even slow
down. It offers nothing but a
means to an end, a way to get to
the place where there is some-
thing, a school, a lake, a store.
I live alongside the road. Its
just one of many that snake
through the Back Mountain. Its
a busy road, full of traffic go-
ing fast, probably faster, though
I have no way to prove it, than
the posted speed limit of 35
miles per hour. I know when I
drive the road and do so at the
speed limit, I fear that my auto
will be rear-ended at any mo-
ment. Brights and horns have
been used to urge me to in-
crease my speed. And hand
gestures and not-so-polite epi-
thets are used when I do not.
The road is not a toll road,
but it exacts a toll for the living
creatures that use it sans metal-
lic conveyance. Deer and chip-
munks, birds and squirrels,
groundhogs and rabbits have all
offered up life to the passing
parade. They all cross the road
not because it is there, but
because on the other side is a
cool, clean, unspoiled reservoir
of water. They know not, that
for them, the road is death.
They know only thirst.
The road has its tenders and
defenders. Its kept plowed in
winter, and the ditches (Im
told to call them swales) are
cleared out in the spring. Occa-
sionally, it is given cosmetic
surgery and repaved. The road
cares not. In a thousand years
after humans stop using the
road, the road will return to
nature.
Something happened not far
from my place next to the road.
No one but the man and his
Maker and the road will ever
know for sure what. No one
else saw when the truck hit the
tree, hard. Suppositions and
blame will be made and cast,
but in the end, the road knows,
and the road keeps itself to
itself.
A small wooden cross ap-
peared soon after. Its white
enamel with a spray of colored
plastic flowers, ribbons and a
bar code on the back. It carries
with it the thoughts and wishes
of those who knew he who left
the world behind on the road. I
suppose it shouldnt bother me,
but it does. The roadside me-
morial is in the wrong place.
The wrong side of the road,
many yards from where the
something happened. The road
goes on. W

I
ts the 1950s, theres a Mid-
western town in the middle of
nowhere that requires its
people to be quiet and proper. No
dancing, no rock music and
definitely no living out loud.
This town was free from de-
struction until a motorcycle-
riding, leather-wearing and hip-
rolling rebel named Chad moved
into town. Chad eventually gets
the attention of Natalie, who
dreams of finding a man who
will sweep her off her feet. Then
she realizes that Chad isnt in-
terested in her because he has
eyes for someone else. A twisted
love triangle turns this small
town upside down and all its
people get all shook up.
All Shook Up premiered on
Broadway at the Palace Theater
in March 2005 and only lasted
until that September. The show is
based on the concept of Shak-
espeares Twelfth Night and
features 19 popular Elvis Presley
songs, including All Shook Up,
Jailhouse Rock, (Let Me Be
Your) Teddy Bear, Hound
Dog, Blue Suede Shoes,
Cant Help Falling in Love and
(Youre The) Devil In Disguise,
just to name a few.
Even though the musical pro-
duction had a short run, Michael
Marone saw potential in the show
and will direct the production
that will be showing at the Music
Box Playhouse in Swoyersville
April 13-15, 20-22, 27-29. Ma-
rone also directed the show at the
Pennsylvania Theatre of Per-
forming Arts in Hazleton and
stated that he is using the same
choreography he used in his
previous production.
The Shakespeare stuff with
the Twelfth Night comes into
play with this girl in town who
really loves this guy, and she
decides that maybe the best way
to get to know what hes looking
for is to dress up like a man and
pretend shes one of the guys to
see what he talks about, he said.
Marone explained that one of
the unique things about All
Shook Up is the fascinating love
triangle that takes place in the
show. Natalie falls in love with
Chad, but yet Chad is head over
heels in love with Miss Sandra,
who doesnt want anything to do
with him, despite the fact that all
the other girls in town go crazy
for him.
Not only will he be directing
the show, but he will be playing
the part of Dennis, who is a
dorky character in love with
Natalie. He describes the charac-
ter as a comical side-kick with a
Buddy Holly resemblance.
Of course no woman is ever
going to fall in love with him
because hes so awkward and
weird, he said.
Marone shared that hes a fan
of the whole production, but
theres a scene in particular that
he favors more than the rest.
Theres a little medley in the
show, he said. Teddy Bear
and Hound Dog, which I think
is hilarious. Thats probably my
favorite section of the show.
Marone stated that the audi-
ence will get to see a high-energy
dance production, which is the
most dancing that the Music Box
Players has showcased in a long
time.
It certainly will be new for
audiences to see that, he said.
If nothing else, the older crowd
will get thrown back a little bit in
time to be able to reminisce
about the classic tunes that they
were familiar with when they
were younger. Very nostalgic. W

By Tim Hlivia
Special to the Weekender
B
ig companies understand
the importance of brands,
and in the Age of the
Individual, you should, too.
Heres what it takes to be your
own brand and to be the CEO
of Me, Inc.
One of the things that held
me back from pursuing my
dream of opening a fitness
studio was fear of failure. At
the time, I also lacked the self
confidence that I needed to
overcome that fear, and as years
passed, my dream seemed to
slip farther away from me. Year
after year, I told myself that I
would wait for the perfect time
to open my gym and before I
knew it, 15 years worth of po-
tential perfect times had gone
by. Eventually, I took control of
my life, harnessed my self con-
fidence, and made the dream of
owning a gym become a reality.
Most times, instead of being
proactive in life, were just
spending time reacting. A great
way to regain control is to ex-
amine your life and determine
where your problems lie. Open
yourself up to new opportuni-
ties, so you see its possible to
chart your own course and drive
your life forward. Set goals
and reach them!
Start right now. As of this
very moment, begin thinking of
yourself differently. What is it
about yourself that you want to
change? Using 15 words or less,
describe what you want to
change about yourself, your
attitude, your environment.
Take the time to write down
your answer, and then take the
time to read it several times.
In hindsight, I realize I
shouldnt have waited so long
to accomplish my goal. Waiting
only prolonged my fear, affect-
ed my self-esteem and altered
my inner confidence. Even
though I regret not fulfilling
my dream sooner, Im glad I
finally pushed through the wall
of self doubt. There is no grea-
ter sense of accomplishment
than realizing that you can
reach your goals. Life is about
not letting your insecurities
hold you down, but harnessing
the power of your own thoughts
to change how you feel about
yourself and your outlook on
life.

about confidence-building
skills, fitness, nutrition and
how to discover an improved
you, sign up for the Healthier

12-week series begins Sunday,

Its time to build your own brand - and your self
confidence.

BLOOMSBURGS BREWS
In a record akin to big-name
concert tickets or sporting events,
The Taming of the Brew, a
fundraiser for Bloomsburg The-
atre Ensemble (BTE), sold out
the same day tickets went on
sale.
And it seems those who waited
too long to get tickets for the
beer and food tasting thatll be
held Saturday, April 14 from 7-11
p.m. at Caldwell Consistory
(150 Market St., Bloomsburg),
will miss out on the 11-year-old
events best year yet.
This year, we have a total of
36 brewers represented, which I
think is a record, said Beth
Larson, who co-chairs The Tam-
ing of the Brew with her husband
Michael Fritz.
This years 16 restaurants in-
clude Eagles Mere Inn, The
Links at Hemlock Creek, Pine
Barn Inn, Russells Restaurant/
Kristys Pub and Stone Fired
Grill while breweries include
Appalachian Brewing Compa-
ny, Barley Creek Brewing
Company, Breaker Brewing
Company, Colonel Ricketts
Hard Cider Winery, Lion
Brewery, Troegs Brewing Com-
pany, Victory Brewing Co. and
Yuengling from three different
distributors.
I think its really important to
note that these folks donate all
the beer and food, Larson began,
and for some restaurants and
breweries, that represents around
three grand for one evening, so
we couldnt do that without the
support of those folks.
Tickets for the event were $75
and food and brews are all-in-
clusive, and Larson said The
Taming of the Brew goes neck
and neck with BTEs other big
fundraiser, TreeFest. Last years
beer and food festival raised
around $25,000 for the non-
profit theater that was founded in
1978.
Ticket prices have risen the
past two years, and with stipends
that must be paid to some partici-
pating brewers and other costs
that come with running an event
that features alcohol, BTE has a
lot of overhead putting on The
Taming of the Brew.
The event is getting more
expensive for us to put on, and I
think its important to give the
context of why (prices rose),
Larson said. That helps folks
realize what it takes to put on a
party for 500 people. Most festiv-
als charge separately for the food,
by my knowledge, were one of
the only festivals where thats
included.
While its surely welcome for
the event to rapidly sell out, there
is some stress involved.
Especially when people know
youre on the committee, Larson
said, laughing. Friends come out
of the woodwork, but its great.
As long as we keep selling out,
we know were doing a good
event. Another reason it has such
an appeal is its intimacy. If we
expanded it and were not a
professional festival, were a
volunteer committee who fun-
draisers for a theater it would
lose its charm the bigger it got.
Its not just the lucky attendees
that tell BTE that The Taming of
the Brew is a great annual event.
We get told time and time
again from the vendors, in partic-
ular the brewers, that this is their
favorite event of the year, Lar-
son said. They really like the
intimacy of it, they like how we
take care of them, they like that
they actually have time to talk to
people about their wares and
everything.
In addition to the brews and
the food, The Taming of the
Brew also offers a silent auction
from local businesses and arti-
sans that range from gift certif-
icates to art to jewelry.
VEGANS UNITE!
Christian Pilosi, the owner
and chef of Eden, A Vegan Cafe
(344 Adams Ave., Scranton), is

for me because you think I am
sexy or because you think I am a
nice guy or because you think I

ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL19)
Often your role as truth teller and bull-
shit exposer is an unenviable, thankless
one. It causes you tons of stress, rarely
results in satisfying paybacks and gets you
into trouble more often than not. However,
every once in a while, you get the roman-
tic-comedy movie resolution, where the
douche gets his comeuppance, you are
praised for your astute and courageous
words and actions, and everyone is grateful
that someone, at least, was willing to say
what everyone was thinking and change
things for the better. While you may not
get exactly that result this week, youre
likely to get at least an appreciative pat on
the back. So theres that.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY20)
Transferring a relationship from one
world to another (friendship to romance,
say, or family to business) always brings
with it numerous complications. These are
by no means insurmountable provided
you acknowledge and address them with-
out blinders or deception. This new way of
relating requires entirely different rules
than your old connection; trying to contin-
ue as you have, in this new context, would
just lead to relationship-destroying disas-
ter. Throw out (or at least shelve indefi-
nitely) the old rulebooks, and sit down,
right now, to write some new ones from
scratch before you take another step.
Youll be glad you did later.
GEMINI (MAY21-JUNE 20)
While surely there are some things youd
rather not talk about, be realistic. Ac-
knowledge that sometimes your silence on
the subject will prove more intriguing to
others than just speaking up about it would
be. Keeping mum will only pique their
curiosity, forcing them to relentlessly ha-
rangue and stalk you until you spill the
beans anyway. While it might be embar-
rassing or painful to share something like
this, its still less of a hassle than the al-
ternative. Of course, if you insist on find-
ing that out the hard way, go ahead and
stay closemouthed. Youll wish you hadnt
later.
CANCER(JUNE 21-JULY22)
Because youre by nature a generous and
nurturing person, you end up with people
relying on you for far more or far longer
than they should. While you certainly
invited them to benefit from all the won-
derful things you have to give, at some
point they crossed a line or perhaps simply
didnt move on in the timeframe you
thought they would. Now its time for you
to play mama bird and gently push those
reluctant chicks out of the nest. They may
not think they can (or want to) fly on their
own, but you know better and the only
way theyll learn is by doing.
LEO(JULY23-AUG. 22)
Cutting other people some slack is this
weeks theme. Sure, you wish everyone
could abide by your ideal standards, but of
course you know thats not always the case.
Overlooking others shortcomings or
failings is the kind and generous thing to
do here, provided theyre not actually huge,
destructive character flaws. Most likely
theyre only things that annoy or inconve-
nience you, so getting over them is in
everyones best interest. Addressing them
would only make you seem petty, while
letting them go will probably add to your
air of benevolence and wisdom. Does it
seem like a no-brainer yet? It should.
VIRGO(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
While you are arguably the most practi-
cal sign in the zodiac, sometimes when
someone else wants to implement their less
efficient or sensible idea, you dig in your
heels and can have a huge problem letting
them get their way. Theres always room
for compromise, only sometimes youre
simply too stubborn to see or acknowledge
it. That can lead to some massive dis-
agreements over truly tiny issues, simply
because of your persistent resistance. Sure,
their idea may downright suck compared to
yours. But being part of a team means
being willing to lose and letting others take
the lead. Try that this week, please.
LIBRA(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Sometimes when you have good news or
fortune, you feel weird sharing it with
others who might not be in such a great
place in their lives or are actively suffering
from some misfortune. However, theres no
reason you should censor your own happi-
ness; if you wait until everyone else is
happy before you share your joy, youll
never get to share it at all. Presentation,
however, is key. If your tone is, Here are
all the ways Im glad Im not you right
now, your message will be understandably
ill received. However, if you instead offer a
distraction and your message is, Things
will get better for you, too, in time, your
listeners might prove grateful instead of
resentful.
SCORPIO(OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
I generally feel that keeping secrets ends
up causing more pain than telling the truth
a tough lesson for you Scorpios, who
keep your cards so close to your chests.
However, just imagine the pain your si-
lence (or deception) might cause, because
in the absence of the truth, people might
imagine scenarios that are far worse than
whats actually happening. Allowing them
to live with those excruciating fantasies
isnt fair or kind. This week, be kind and
let them in on the truth so they can be
released from the crueler lie theyve made
up.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Whenever I see someone with a controll-
ing, jealous or generally bitchy, unpleasant
partner, I wonder why they put up with it.
Amazing sex alone cant justify the misery
they surely suffer out of bed, but again and
again I see awful people shacked up with
long-term partners. Perhaps they simply
feel hopelessly trapped. The one thing I
can safely conclude, however, is that none
of those suffering partners are Sagittarians.
Having eluded many, you know how to
escape traps with ease. Consider showing
someone a way out of the one they think
theyre stuck in.
CAPRICORN(DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
While it may seem that someones taking
advantage of you (and perhaps they are, in
a way), consider the alternatives. Dont
compare their actions to what a saint might
do in their place, but rather to what youd
have to put up with from a stranger filling
their shoes. Im willing to bet that what
theyre asking from you is still far less
taxing than what youd be forced to pay
if virtually anyone else was doing what
theyre doing. So deliver with a smile, and
remember that theyre doing you a favor,
even if it doesnt always feel that way.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Its sweet of you to have taken on so
much responsibility. Of course your in-
tentions were almost saintly, but by now
youve probably realized that you may not
be able to deliver on everything you prom-
ised at least not at the level you imag-
ined. Its time for you to start seeking al-
ternatives. Thats not simply announcing
you cant handle this stuff and dumping
some of it on whoevers close at hand. You
still have a duty to find an appropriate
surrogate to absorb some of these respon-
sibilities; yes, another arduous task, but not
as taxing as being buried under the mas-
sive weight of everything youve taken on.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH20)
When noises at night keep you from a
good nights sleep, sleeping with earplugs
is a practical and effective solution. But
wearing those earplugs during a conversa-
tion whose content you dont want to hear
is a less laudable way to address the sit-
uation. Life is full of stuff youd rather
ignore, but doing so is childish and ulti-
mately ineffective. Pull out the earplugs,
remove the blinders, and face the uncom-
fortable or painful truths youve been
trying to shield yourself from. Yes, this
will suck but youll find that once
youve faced them, youll be able to happi-
ly move on from them and throw out those
earplugs and blinders once and for all. W

Dawn
Winarski,
Kingston
D
awn Winarski got the acting bug as a child
and never looked back. Active in community
theater, Dawns artistic talent doesnt stop
there. Her love for painting and drawing has
made a recent comeback in her life, so get to
know this local talent.
What made you choose your profession? I went
to my rst professional theater production when I was 11
years old. After that I was hooked.
Community involvement: Ive been involved for
many years in community theater throughout Luzerne and
Lackawanna Counties.
Hobbies: Theater, of course. I also paint, draw and
dabble in photography.
Favorite quote: You need three things in the theater:
The play, the actors and the audience, and each must give
something. Kenneth Haigh
Favorite thing about the area: The fall foliage. I
love that time of year.
Favorite actor/actress: I admire Jessica Lange very
much. She brings so much electricity to stage and screen.
For the men, I would say Kevin Spacey. Hes so versatile.
One minute hes a psychotic killer and the next hes
singing Bobby Darin songs.
One thing most people dont know about me:
I was extremely shy growing up. Until I got involved
in theater, I would have never dare to speak in front of
people.
One thing Ive always wanted to do: I would love
to swim with dolphins.
What I wanted to be when I grew up: Was I was
young, I either wanted to be an artist or an oceanographer.
I love the sea.
Current passion: Ive really been getting back into
drawing and painting again. I used to do it all the time
when I was young, but as I grew older I started to get out
of it. ...
Who is...
My day job is in medical records,
but my chosen calling is the theater.

Ride of
the Week
By Michael Golubiewski
Special to the Weekender
1963
RAMBLER AMERICAN
Owner:
Ron Skamanich of Duryea
Engine:
6-cylinder, 196 cubic inch
This vehicle has survived because it
came fromTexas, Skamanich says of his
car, which has a 3-speed transmission on the
column and reclining seats, something that
was unheard of in those days. Because of its
unibody construction, very few survived the
harsh Northeast winters with all the road salt.
It is currently undergoing another restoration.

sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
Weekender Correspondent
W
hen it comes to things
people say about me
behind my back, Im
Ray Charles to the bullshit.
The way I look at it, whatever
people say about me is none
of my business. If someone
judges me, it doesnt define
me, it defines them. When it
comes to my Momma, on the
other hand, you better watch
your mouth unless youre
willing to fork over $250 like
in the infamous case of the
2006 Yo Momma competi-
tion.
Yo Mommas lips are so
big that she has to put lipstick
on with a paint roller, I said
aloud to myself as my room-
mate, Eddie, entered the room.
I dont even wanna know!
he stated.
Im practicing for the Yo
Momma competition tomorrow
in the Student Center, I ex-
plained.
At the time, Yo Momma
was a popular show on MTV
hosted by Wilmer Valderrama,
where the best trash-talkers
across America insulted each
others mother through a series
of intense battles that usually
took place near a chain-linked
fence. When I found out my
school was hosting its very
own battle for a grand prize
of $250, I decided it would be
financially irresponsible of me
not to compete.
After watching movies about
bad mothers on Lifetime for
inspiration and making my
friends sit in the first row
with cue cards to hold up in
case I froze, I was ready to
rock.
Youre the only white guy
participating, Eddie pointed
out shortly before the competi-
tion began. Are you sure you
want to do this? Theyll rip
you apart!
Instead of taking Eddies
sound advice, I decided to
seize the opportunity, realizing
it could be the closest Id ever
get to being the token white
guy in a Tyler Perry movie.
After spitting out one-liners
like Yo Momma is so fat
when someone says Kool-Aid,
she busts through the wall, I
not only earned the respect of
the crowd, but I had them in
a bigger uproar than the wom-
en of the Ohio correctional
facility in the MoNique come-
dy special I Coulda Been
Your Cellmate.
In the end, I was robbed Al
Gore-style, finishing in second.
Looking back, Im sorry I
let someone talk shit on you,
Mom, for a chance at cash.
They didnt mean what they
said about you. Even if they
did, remember: People will
always talk, so you might as
well give them something to
talk about ... W
Remembering
Yo Momma
Justin got in the Yo Momma ring ... and, sadly, lost.
