    Letter from the editor
    G
    rowing up, I
    loved making
    collages. I
    would painstakingly
    select words and pho-
    tos from discarded
    magazines and news-
    papers, and then I
    would just as pains-
    takingly use a glue
    stick to create posters
    and folders and what-
    ever else I could.
    But there were also
    magazines I wouldnt
    dare put a pair of
    scissors to because
    they were that close to my
    heart. In fact, I still have most
    of them today: My first copy of
    YM (graced with the image of
    Tiffani Amber Thiessen), the
    very first issue of Lucky, the
    very last issue of Mademoiselle
    and my collection of Your Big
    Backyard issues.
    I still love holding a real
    magazine, and if the copies that
    I cherished so dearly had been
    online, I doubt I would still
    remember the covers as vividly
    as I do, and I definitely
    wouldnt have been able to put
    them on my shelf to collect dust
    and accolades from people who
    cant believe I kept a collection
    of magazines for 20 years.
    Thats what I think makes
    zines so alluring. Not only do
    they utilize my love for hand-
    made snipping and creating,
    which makes them much more
    personal, but theyre also an
    alternative to the blitzkrieg of
    information you get from click-
    ing on an article on the In-
    ternet.
    Dont get me wrong, I love
    technology and using it con-
    stantly just ask my Facebook
    friends. But its nice to be able
    to sit down and actually hold
    something made from paper and
    real effort, which is why I think
    its fabulous that, for the second
    year in a row, Scranton Zine
    Fest will bring zinesters and
    artistic types from far and wide
    to the area to celebrate the
    medium. To find out more
    about the festival, turn to pgs.
    14-15.
    This issue is chockablock full
    of other good stuff, so Ill leave
    you to it!

    news of the weird
    By Chuck Shepherd
    Weekender Wire Services
    CHALLENGING
    BUSINESS MODELS
    -- Dr. Jason Burke rolled out
    his Hangover Heaven medical
    bus fleet in Las Vegas in April,
    offering revelers a faster, clinical-
    ly proper recovery from their
    night of excess drinking for a $90
    to $150 fee. After giving their
    medical history, patients re-
    ceive intravenous saline, with B
    and C vitamins and whatever
    prescription or over-the-counter
    drugs are appropriate, says Burke
    (a licensed anesthesiologist). No
    drunks are served; the patient
    must be in the hangover stage.
    One M.D., who hosts a radio
    show, told CBS News, I think
    many doctors are kicking them-
    selves because they didnt think
    of this first.
    -- No Trademark for You: (1) A
    restaurant set to open in April in
    West Palm Beach, Fla., named
    with a Japanese word suggesting
    good fortune, wealth and pros-
    perity, was denied a trademark
    by the Florida Division of Corpo-
    rations. The name in question:
    The Fuku. (2) In April, Alaba-
    mas alcoholic-beverage-control
    agency rejected Founders Brew-
    ing Co.s request to sell its Dirty
    Bastard beer in the state, even
    though Founders pointed out that
    the state already permits another
    company to sell Fat Bastard wine.
    The agency acknowledged the
    similarity, but said Fat Bastard
    was approved years ago and that
    no one at the agency now recalls
    why.
    -- In April, the Taiwan tabloid
    Apple Daily profiled a 27-year-
    old man who said he has tripled
    his previous salary by becoming
    a public snitch, turning in videos
    of litterers and spitters violating
    Taipei laws that reward inform-
    ants a fee of one-fourth the
    amount of any fines. In the last
    two years, the man (Chou) said
    he has had 5,000 cases result in
    fines, for which he has been paid
    the equivalent of $50,000. He
    said he now teaches classes in
    snitching.
    SCIENCE ONTHE
    CUTTING EDGE
    -- Researchers Need to Be-
    lieve: Surely the worlds longest-
    running science experiment is the
    85-year-old continuing project to
    visually ascertain whether pitch
    (a tar) is liquid. Begun at En-
    glands Cambridge University,
    the project is now housed at the
    University of Queensland in
    Australia, where the custodian
    believes the next drop (the ninth
    ever) will fall in 2013. The previ-
    ous teardrop-shaped bead de-
    scended in 2000.
    LEADING ECONOMIC
    INDICATORS
    -- Two homeless, penniless
    men in Fresno, Calif., are setting
    a high bar for frequency, and
    expense, of ambulance trips to
    the hospital. A 41-year-old who
    says he has a major problem
    with my liver and a 51-year-old
    allegedly seizure-prone man
    called for a combined 1,363 trips
    in 2011, which at the market rate
    would have cost them $545,000
    (apart from evaluations by the
    hospital, which would have addi-
    tionally cost more than
    $500,000), according to a Febru-
    ary investigation by the Fresno
    Bee. Taxpayers and the insured
    foot the bills (reduced somewhat
    because the ambulance company
    and the hospital take lower fees).
    Neither the ambulance company
    nor the hospital can refuse to
    serve the men, and attempts to
    talk the men out of the trips are
    either futile or too laborious for
    the emergency technicians to
    attempt.
    PET MANIA
    -- The expense of caring for a
    pet, at least among the affluent,
    appears to be recession-resistant,
    amounting to about $50 billion in
    the U.S. for 2011, according to a
    trade association. Much of that
    spending is on advanced medical
    services such as bone marrow
    transplants at North Carolina
    State University (65 already
    performed) and stent procedures
    to open clogged bladders or kid-
    neys (630 last year) at the Animal
    Medical Center in New York
    City. Said one man, who had paid
    about $25,000 to treat his 10-
    year-old dogs lymphoma, I
    wondered if I was doing this for
    selfish reasons. I asked myself,
    If I were a 10-year-old dog,
    would I want to go through
    this? (Unfortunately, consid-
    ering dogs short life spans, can-
    cer remissions are almost always
    short-lived.)
    -- But sometimes, the weird
    news is heartwarming. KTUL-
    TV, reporting in April on the
    Sooner Golden Retriever Rescue
    in Tulsa, Okla., profiled Tanner
    (a Golden Retriever blind from
    epilepsy and suffering seizures,
    incontinence and biting frenzies),
    who took a shine to the arrival of
    Blair (a homeless black Labrador
    with a gunshot wound). Almost
    immediately, noted Rescue per-
    sonnel, Tanner became playful, as
    Blair led him around the grounds
    in much the way that assistance
    dogs guide blind humans. Both
    dogs have thus staved off being
    euthanized and are being consid-
    ered for joint adoption.
    RECURRING THEMES
    Though several cases have
    been reported in medical litera-
    ture (and twice in News of the
    Weird), credulity is still strained
    by reports that people might
    accidentally swallow (whole!) a
    typical toothbrush (usually 7 to 8
    inches long). In the most recent
    episode, Ms. Bat-El Panker, 24,
    of Kiryat Yam, Israel, had trouble
    with disbelieving doctors at her
    local hospital and had to go to
    Carmel Hospital in Haifa, where
    a gastroenterologist, using ordi-
    nary tools of the trade, manip-
    ulated the brush until it was at an
    angle that made it removable
    without damaging her digestive
    tract, according to a report on
    Ynet News. W

    James Cruz, 58, was arrested in May in West Palm Beach, Fla., after
    allegedly pulling out a gun at a McDonalds drive-thru lane in order
    to squeeze his car in ahead of another. The other driver backed off, but
    of course got a full view of Cruzs license plate.

    CELEBRITY
    EXTRA
    By Cindy Elavsky
    It would seem that the powers
    that be at TNT agree with your
    assessment of Southland, as
    they have renewed the hit cop
    series for a 10-episode ffth
    season, which is scheduled to
    begin airing in February 2013. As
    the date gets closer, Ill be sure to
    fll my readers in on all the details.
    In my opinion, the fourth
    season of Southland was
    the best yet. Please tell
    me its been renewed for
    another season!

    ts cut and paste, randomly scribbled
    doodles in the corner of the page. Thoughts
    into words, ideas photocopied by the hun-
    dreds, patiently pieced together with tiny
    silver slivers. Its handmade, do-it-yourself,
    no instructions necessary. Its her voice,
    shouting out protests to the world. Its his
    voice, quiet in the corner, hoping someone notices. Its
    your voice, your message, passing from hand to hand.
    Its tangible, unique, personal, waiting for anyone will-
    ing to hear what it has to say.
    And its back.
    Making a new home at New Visions Studio & Gal-
    lery, the Scranton Zine Fest returns for the second year
    Saturday, June 9. Featuring zines and zinesters from
    various locations on the East Coast, the festival also
    hosts a varied selection of artists as well as a poetry
    reading.
    Jessica Meoni, one of the co-coordinators of the
    festival, said she is excited to have the opportunity to
    bring it back because it is another great addition to the
    cultural renaissance that Scranton is going through.
    Alot of people my age complain that theres nothing
    to do in Scranton, she said. But they dont really have
    any right to say that because they dont try to do any-
    thing themselves. We try to look to these bigger cities
    like Philly and Pittsburgh, but we can create that kind of
    metropolis in our town if people really try.
    Inspired by the Philly Zine Fest, Meoni joined forces
    with Dana Bloom and Brian vFanelli to bring the zine
    culture to NEPA. Zines, which Meoni said are basically
    independent, mini-magazines, have been around for
    years, even going back to the time of Thomas Paines
    Common Sense. She said they began growing in
    popularity again during the 60s as a way for people
    to review comics and science-ction pieces, grew
    Jessica Meoni sits with Adam Weitzenkorn and
    Melanie Boisseau of New Visions Studio &
    Gallery, where Scranton Zine Fest will be held.

    throughout the 70s punk culture
    and evolved into the wide-range
    of zines that are available today
    everything from personal
    zines (perzines), music reviews,
    poetry and short comics.
    Meoni said the festival has
    doubled in participants from
    last year, most of whom are
    newcomers. But despite the
    growth, she said they had some
    speed bumps to deal with as
    they were not able to get a grant
    this year to fund the event.
    However, through some of its
    own nancial backing and the
    generosity of New Visions for
    letting the event be hosted there,
    Bloom, who Meoni referred to
    as the logistics coordinator, said
    everything nally came together
    and all three founders are just as
    excited about it as those who are
    attending.
    Midge Belickis of Mineola,
    N.Y., the author of LOUD-
    MOUTH and Scatterbrain, loves
    the great sense of community
    and creativity that surrounds the
    zine culture.
    Its good to see what other
    people are talking about, she
    said. You get to open your
    mind up to different ideas.
    You cant put a price on being
    inspired by other peoples art,
    meeting awesome people, feel-
    ing that sense of community.
    Zinesters are very interesting
    people.
    While no price can be put
    on the sense of community
    itself, the zines generally do
    come with a small price tag,
    sometimes just a small chunk of
    change or trading one zine for
    another. But living in a world
    where digital is becoming a
    more-favored means of distribu-
    tion, the small price is worth
    having the physical piece.
    Lauren Geiger, author of
    Minutes to Milleniums, said that
    she feels zines are important
    because you can actually feel
    them, and its not something
    that gets lost in constant page-
    hopping on the internet.
    In the midst of the Internet,
    its so easy to lose that tangibil-
    ity, and I think its important to
    keep that alive, the Allentown
    resident shared. When I read
    something tangible, I sort of
    separate myself from the infor-
    mation overload. Its easier to
    connect that way.
    Adding to the connectivity
    that zines brings to the masses, a
    live poetry reading will be held
    following a small break after the
    festival. Fanelli, who coordi-
    nated the reading, said it makes
    this festival unique compared
    to others, but works well since
    zines have a strong literary con-
    nection.
    William James, a slam poet
    from Pittsburgh, looks forward
    to returning to Scranton to par-
    ticipate in the festival because it
    is a great representation of the
    zine culture and the stories that
    would normally go unheard if
    not for the publication of zines.
    Youre going to have the
    opportunity to see a complete
    spectrum of ideas and thoughts,
    narratives and stories, written by
    people who probably cover ev-
    ery single level of the spectrum
    of human experience, James
    said. On top of that, youre
    going to get to see a physical
    representation of that drive
    that these people have to create
    something and to make some-
    thing that you could then hold in
    your hands.
    Somebody can say to you,
    This is my story, this is some-
    thing that was meaningful to me
    in my life for a nite period of
    time, here I want you to have it.
    Youre not going to get some-
    thing like that just anywhere.
    For all of those involved, it is
    a common agreement that the
    festival is going to be a great
    way for people to get together
    and not only share their zines,
    artwork and poetry, but also a
    piece of themselves.
    If you come to Zine Fest,
    you will see the range of people
    from all over who want to
    express themselves through their
    zines, through their artwork,
    through any means possible,
    said NEPAnative Tony Majori-
    no, who is the author of Chasm.
    I can guarantee that if you
    come out, youll denitely learn
    something new, youll meet
    new, interesting people, and it
    will be a great time. W
    William James, a slam poet from Pittsburgh,
    will take part in the event.

    tech talk
    By Nick Delorenzo
    Special to the Weekender
    T
    he release of Windows 8,
    Microsofts latest operating
    system, is fast approach-
    ing, and Microsoft has made a
    previewfreely available so every-
    one can see what all the buzz is
    about.
    Its quite a change fromprevi-
    ous versions of Windows. Sport-
    ing a colorful, touch-optimized
    user interface called Metro,
    Windows 8 aims to redefine how
    people use their computers. Users
    of the Xbox 360 and Windows
    Phone 7 devices will find them-
    selves at home with the newin-
    terface, while veteran users of
    previous versions of Windows
    may have some retraining ahead.
    Everything about the new
    operating systemseems to be
    centered on the tasks that people
    regularly performon their com-
    puters, so its a little more friend-
    ly than previous versions of
    Windows. Instead of programs,
    there are Apps. Theres an app
    for social media, another for mail
    and others for photos, finance,
    news, travel and even sports.
    Theres also the Windows Store,
    where users can download Win-
    dows apps.
    While the apps themselves are
    really very easy to use, I have a
    gut feeling that people who have
    spent the past 10 or 20 years com-
    ing to grips with past versions of
    Windows may be a bit put off by
    them.
    As another nod to Xbox users,
    Windows 8 features a program
    called Xbox Companion, which
    allows a user to control an Xbox
    360 and streamfiles directly
    between PCand console.
    The whole operating systemis
    quite a bit more fluid than past
    versions of Windows. The initial
    Start screen is composed of
    groups of floating icons called
    Live Tiles that contain fre-
    quently used apps, programs,
    news, social events and pictures
    or videos. While on paper that
    may not sound particularly in-
    tuitive, its actually more useful
    than having a desktop stuffed with
    static icons.
    As I used it, Windows 8 seemed
    to learn what I did and didnt use
    frequently, and everything was so
    easy to see that I never found
    myself hunting for anything.
    As for the actual guts of the
    operating systemit feels quite
    a bit like Windows 7, and the
    hardware requirements are simi-
    lar 1Ghz processor speed, 1GB
    Bramand16GBof storage space.
    The final release date for Win-
    dows 8 hasnt been announced,
    but is expected to possibly be in
    October.
    Early adopters who are fairly
    tech savvy and comfortable with
    potentially wiping out their entire
    computers can grab the latest
    release of Windows 8 at http://

    South Jerseys Smash Palace is
    one of those shouldve been
    bands. Originally known as Quin-
    cy, the band gained momentum at
    the cusp of the New-Wave 80s
    scene, discovered by CBGB
    founder Hilly Kristal before
    recording a self-titled album in
    1980. A cruel fate came when
    famed producer Quincy Jones
    saw the bands name on a mar-
    quee, did a cease-and-desist and
    dealt a knockout blow to the
    bands enterprise.
    In 1985, now christened Smash
    Palace, the band recorded an
    album for Epic and scored MTV
    play with Living On The Bor-
    derline. But the band seemingly
    imploded and founding members
    Stephen and Brian Butler took
    staff songwriter positions at vari-
    ous labels to survive.
    Since 2004, though, with Ste-
    phen Butler firmly at the wheel as
    songwriter, guitarist and lead
    vocalist, Smash Palace has re-
    tooled with hooks-for-days al-
    bums and sparkling production,
    and its recent outing, Do It
    Again, is no different. Lead track
    Living It Lonely embraces the
    60s-era jangle of The Byrds
    while playing to the strengths of
    90s dirt-road Americana. Its
    Easy has a guitar twang akin to
    Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and
    The Heartbreakers as the band
    tackles social issues with a de-
    lightfully melodic caustic tongue.
    Tell Her Now is a delicately
    abrasive acoustic cut as the band
    extols the finer points of anxiety-
    ridden relationships, while Cant
    Make It Without Her has a Brit-
    ish rock-n-roll quality with
    driving piano and melody line
    reminiscent of The Kinks Vic-
    toria.
    A lean, mean, songwriting
    machine, Smash Palace has never
    lost its youthful passion for a
    charming melody. The band
    soothes your sonic palate, like
    musical butter topping an already
    delicious pop-infected entree.

    Billboard Top Rock Songs
    Music labeled as progressive builds
    from its rock and metal roots by adding
    elements from all around the world of
    music, and the self-titled debut from New
    York-based band Hung is no different.
    The bands namesake, classically
    trained violinist Lyris Hung, wished to
    start a new band with a focus on the heav-
    ier side of music and soon began her
    search for bandmates. Rounding out the
    lineup with singer Dmitry Kostitsyn,
    drummer Kenny Grohowski, guitarist Jon
    Clark, and bassist Sam Roon, the band
    began to meticulously craft its first al-
    bum.
    Hung takes pride in its somewhat
    unique style in writing, where each mem-
    ber creates his or her part separately be-
    fore bringing them all together in the
    studio. The end effect of this is very com-
    plex, multi-layered music where each part
    can stand alone, but still is a piece of a
    larger whole, taking advantage of the
    deep talent of the band members.
    This becomes immediately apparent
    starting with opening instrumental track
    Eos and continues throughout the al-
    bum. Tracks like Progeny, Evil Tsar
    and Matter of the Blood take the listen-
    er through a wide range of different
    sounds (as well as moods and emotions),
    and at many points, Hungs music sounds
    more like a symphony than just a five-
    piece band.
    Hungs album is impressive to say the
    least, and the band plays with a profi-
    ciency that is far beyond what most artists
    typically have.
    However, as beautiful as the instru-
    mental parts of each song may be, the use
    of growling, dark vocals detract from that
    beauty just a bit and makes one wonder
    how different the music might sound with
    clearer voices throughout.

    Hung's symphonic
    darkness
    The music of Tennessee-based death-
    core act Whitechapel has a resounding
    darkness to it. Each song released by
    this band is ominous and aggressive,
    and its latest release completely em-
    bodies its long history of dark and
    unique music writing.
    Whitechapel vocalist Phil Boze-
    man, guitarists Alex Wade, Ben Savage
    and Zach Householder, bassist Gabe
    Crisp and drummer Ben Harclerode
    will release its fourth studio album via
    Metal Blade Records Tuesday, June 19.
    The self-titled release is, quite argua-
    bly, the bands most volatile since its
    formation.
    There isnt a track on the album
    that isnt savagely hostile, and each of
    the 10 songs brings exactly what a
    true fan of deathcore music would
    expect and want. Bozemans growling
    vocals are overflowing with rage and
    are backed by fast guitar riffs and
    exceptional drum work from Harcle-
    rode, the bands latest addition.
    Despite its distinct style for writing
    heavy music, Whitechapel isnt just
    producing unintelligible sounds that
    cant be appreciated by anyone other
    than true deathcore fans.
    Its music is technical at times and
    layered in spots, which are intermit-
    tently broken up with melodic break-
    downs. This change in intensity defi-
    nitely provides a much needed break
    from the unrelenting heaviness of the
    album.
    Whitechapel has clearly honed its
    skills for writing aggressive music over
    the years, resulting in an album that
    will definitely rival any other current
    heavy release out there right now.

    s Mind
    I could never afford a TV
    with surround sound.
    But I live in downtown
    Wilkes Barre and my
    favorite show is Cops, so
    you cant really tell the
    difference.
    Lissa of KRZ has a lot on
    her mind, and she needs

    here will never come a
    day when people wont
    want to hear a good story.
    Storytellers work in all sorts of
    media and can often be as ec-
    centric as the subjects of their
    narratives. Jim Gavenus and
    Toby Walker, photographer and
    musician respectively, each tell a
    rich, multifaceted story of the
    blues that soulful, Southern
    sound brought together in a
    multi-media event, The Faces
    and Voices of the Blues, to be
    held at the historic Tripp House
    in Scranton Friday-Sunday, June
    8-10.
    Gavenus, a photographer who
    has worked with more than 30
    Hall of Fame musicians in his
    15-year career, will display
    works from his extended wan-
    derings through the Deep South
    and his explorations of the rem-
    nants of the community of blues
    musicians he found there. About
    nine years ago, tired of the grind,
    Gavenus decided to head South
    and work on a long-term project.
    I looked at a map and saw
    this little tiny town called Smu-
    teye, Ala., and I wanted to go
    see what Smuteye was like, he
    says.
    Smuteye is just about an hour
    south of Montgomery, an area
    rich in the history of the civil-
    rights movement Gavenus other
    exhibited work has focused on.
    Hes made multiple trips since
    then and has amassed a collec-
    tion of images of blues musi-
    cians, both the old-timers and
    newcomers, to tell an intricate
    story of the past and present
    state of the genre.
    Ive worked in the music
    industry for many years, pho-
    tographing all kinds of musi-
    cians, he says. But this is the
    first time Ill show my work
    about music.
    Through his years of working
    with mainstream musicians,
    Gavenus had taken notice of the
    undeniable influence of the blues
    on even the most unsuspecting
    musicians.
    When theyre in their trailer
    or hanging out in the studio, not
    working per se, theyre not play-
    ing their own music, he says.
    Theyre fiddling around with a
    guitar, playing the blues.
    Through displaying his work
    in the small, private space of the
    Tripp House accompanied by
    Walkers performance, Gavenus
    hopes that people can understand
    the relevance of the blues musi-
    cians and culture that might have
    influenced megastars like The
    Rolling Stones, but who are now
    living in impoverished, back-
    roads homes without pensions.
    But more than that, he wants
    them to be entertained. Walker,
    an accomplished fingerstyle
    guitarist, singer, songwriter and
    storyteller, will perform as the
    voices half of the event and
    will tell the part of Gavenus
    story that cant be heard through
    a photograph.
    PocoNotes, the event produc-
    tion duo Dolores Hippler and Pat
    Harper, chose the Tripp House, a
    fully renovated 1778 homestead
    in Scranton, as the location for
    the event in hopes to emphasize
    the need to appreciate a piece of
    Scrantons history while show-
    casing the history of Walkers
    genre. Part of each ticket pur-
    chased will be donated to the
    Society for the Preservation of
    the Tripp Family Homestead.
    We want to combine people
    that need to be heard with places
    that need to be seen, says Hip-
    pler.
    By hosting this event here,
    were bringing a crowd of people
    to the Tripp House that other-
    wise would have never known it
    existed. And the same goes for
    Tobys music, adds Harper. W

    he first of the Playroom
    series presented by the
    Gaslight Theatre Compa-
    ny, which was founded in 2003,
    will take the audience to one of
    the most family-oriented rooms
    in the house: The kitchen.
    This specific performance has
    a small cast with a total of 11
    actors and directors. Matthew
    Hinton, who has a play being
    featured, is the mastermind be-
    hind Playroom and is the one
    who picked the plays and is di-
    recting, acting and came up with
    the set for the whole show.
    I want it to be new plays from
    people around here, its what
    influences the culture, Hinton
    explained. As Im adapting the
    idea for this series, I thought,
    What do we call it? Theres a
    lot of plays, we put them in one
    room Playroom.
    Whether they were regional
    students or have lived around the
    area for most of their lives, local
    authors wrote all seven of the
    one-act plays that will be per-
    formed as part of Playroom.
    The other authors are Dan Wab-
    er, Rachel Strayer, Lori Myers,
    Richard Grunn, Lukas Tomasacci
    and B. Garret Rogan.
    Even though writing a one-act
    play may not be as time consum-
    ing as a full-length, there are
    different things that may be a
    challenge to writers. Since the
    average time length of the one-
    act plays that will be performed
    are around 10 minutes, the author
    has to fit a beginning, middle and
    conclusion into that time frame.
    Brandi George, a director,
    actor and student at Kings Col-
    lege, was very surprised at the
    variety of works that were sub-
    mitted.
    We have a very large range of
    what the content is even though it
    all takes place in the kitchen,
    she said. For me, one of the
    plays is 10 minutes of complete
    seriousness while the other is 10
    minutes of complete ridicu-
    lousness.
    All members of cast and crew
    had only about a two-week peri-
    od to prepare. Directors act as the
    eyes of the audience and try to
    help and guide the actors while
    they are rehearsing.
    Too much time is actually a
    bad thing, George clarified. Its
    been an interesting experience
    being able to work on a time
    crunch, but in a good way.
    This upcoming
    performance will
    be the first time
    that Drake Nester,
    an actor and stu-
    dent at Kings,
    will be perform-
    ing with the Gas-
    light Theatre
    Company.
    This is all new
    to me, the one-
    room thing. It has
    been an awesome
    experience.
    Hintons most
    excited to see the
    reaction of the audience. Some of
    the plays being performed might
    catch the audience off guard and
    may ask them to do things they
    might not necessarily be familiar
    with. For example, one play
    involves the audience with the
    use of their cell phones.
    Even if people are outraged,
    thats theater. Youve stirred
    something. Hinton said. The
    final act of theater is the collab-
    oration between actor and audi-
    ence. Im looking for that mo-
    ment, and Im looking forward
    for the moment to happen.
    Every year, the Playroom
    series will feature a new room of
    the house as the set. Hinton
    hopes to keep the same authors
    throughout the series and maybe
    add in a few new ones along the
    way.
    People always walk away
    saying, Ah, I wish thatd gone on
    longer. Thats a complaint you
    want to have, he explained. So
    we hope that we have people
    walking away wanting more. W

    movie review

    Snow White and the


    Huntsman isnt transpar-
    ently hip or consumed by
    corporate agenda. With brisk
    confidence first-time director
    Rupert Sanders tells the story
    we know without a trace of
    Disney sweetness and in a
    style that infuses everything
    with an intoxicating newness.
    As a child, Snows idyllic
    life gets shattered in a few
    swift blows. First her mother
    dies, leaving the kingdom
    without a queen. A short time
    later, her father is fatally se-
    duced on his wedding night by
    his new wife, Ravenna (a de-
    lightfully unhinged Charlize
    Theron), a power-mad, vaguely
    supernatural narcissist who
    promptly takes over the king-
    dom and locks Snow in a
    tower.
    Years pass. Ravennas rule is
    so poisonous that the land
    literally rots. Her concern
    arises when she no longer
    ranks as the fairest of all,
    according to her mirror/trusted
    advisor. That title now belongs
    to Snow White, who has
    grown up to become Kristen
    Stewart and represents an end
    to the queens reign. Ravenna
    handles this in the calm, rea-
    soned way that defines lead-
    ership: She decides to take
    Snows pure heart.
    With the help of some really
    helpful birds, Snow manages
    to escape her dreary cell and
    into the aptly named Dark
    Forest. Ravennas powers are
    useless there, so she summons
    the nameless Huntsman (Chris
    Hemsworth, surprisingly good),
    a drunken widower, to find the
    fugitive. He does, but when
    the Huntsman discovers the
    queen wont deliver on her
    end of the deal, he and Snow
    take off.
    Snow White and the Hunts-
    mans biggest asset is that
    Sanders and his three screen-
    writers (including Hossein
    Amini of Drive) dont cod-
    dle us with one-liners and
    cutesy asides. We dont get a
    sense of where the story will
    go. Everything feels slightly
    off, but in a good way, like
    seeing the demure Snow blos-
    som into Joan of Arc with an
    overbite or Therons desperate
    portrayal of the queen, which
    has more in common with
    Norma Desmond than Idi
    Amin. Hemsworth, one of the
    male heroes, is blitzed half the
    time. Everyone has blood on
    their hands, even the dwarves,
    who flock to Snows gentle
    soul.
    Theres a weight, a restraint,
    here that is wel-
    come. The use of
    CGI, often a whiz-
    bang crutch, is used
    appropriately, turning
    the Dark Forest into a
    bubbling, freaky trip
    and ace character
    actors like Ian
    McShane and Bob
    Hoskins into dwarves.
    Details fuel Therons
    terrific performance: Her
    creepy rapport with her
    brother (Sam
    Spruell), how
    shes the
    only one
    who can
    see the mirror spring to life.
    Two of the most memorable
    scenes come just from locked
    eyes, including when the
    Huntsman and Snow acknowl-
    edge a secret that will change
    everything. It doesnt matter
    that Stewarts performance isnt
    exactly incendiary because
    Snow realizes that being good
    only takes you so far. You
    actually have to do something.
    Snow White and the Hunts-
    man feels like the start of
    something epic, a story that
    could go beyond step-by-step
    romance and heroism. Its fit-
    ting that this movie came out
    during the summer-movie sea-
    son, when everything is bigger
    and brighter. That principle
    doesnt just apply to the cast
    and special effects.

    ralphie report
    the
    By Ralphie Aversa
    Special to the Weekender
    A
    fter a recent trip near our
    nations capital, the fellas
    from U.K. boy band One
    Direction found out just how big
    of a deal they are.
    When we met (Malia and
    Sasha Obama) at the Kids
    Choice Awards, they said that if
    we cant come to the White
    House, they would come to us,
    singer Niall Horan revealed on
    The Ralphie Radio Show. So
    they came down to the show.
    Before President Obamas
    daughters took in the concert, the
    girls had a chance to hang out
    backstage with the guys at the
    Patriot Center in Fairfax, Va.
    Horan is a massive fan of the
    President.
    We just had a conversation
    about everything, he said. It
    went from food to roller coasters
    to life to them having loads of
    security all the time.
    If there is one facet that the
    heartthrobs can relate to the First
    Daughters in, its the latter topic.
    Then again, after a recent tour
    stop in New York, perhaps Horan
    and company could use some-
    thing similar to the Secret Ser-
    vice.
    Me and Liam (Payne) got
    mobbed, Horan recalled. When
    were on our days off, we just
    like to chill.
    Horan and Payne, accompa-
    nied by a security guard, thought
    itd be a good idea to chill by
    walking the streets of midtown
    Manhattan. Unfortunately, the
    hoards of screaming tweens
    outside the bands hotel also
    thought it was a good idea. Still,
    the trip wasnt completely lost.
    My aunt lives in New York,
    so we had a barbecue, Horan
    shared. We meant to go watch
    The Dictator, in the cinema, but
    we fell asleep.
    One Direction is currently in
    the midst of a sold-out tour in the
    States. As if you need more
    evidence of how popular these
    guys are, theyve already an-
    nounced dates for 2013s Amer-
    ican summer tour.
    CHRIS RENE READIES
    NEW ALBUM
    How hands-on is Antonio
    L.A. Reid with the artists on
    Epic Records? In the case of
    The X-Factor finalist Chris
    Rene, very.
    Its track by track, Rene said
    of the labels chairman/CEOs
    involvement in his forthcoming
    album. Im not going to make a
    track that Im not happy with or
    that I dont think represents me
    fully. He wants the same thing.
    The singer believes the album
    represents him as a whole, for
    both better and worse.
    Its going to be a mixture of
    all kinds of different things
    the highs and the lows.
    Rene has experienced both
    during his career, which started
    when he was a young teen. His
    path took a detour when he be-
    came a trash collector in his
    hometown of Santa Cruz, Calif,
    before battling a drug addiction
    that landed him in rehab. But just
    10 weeks after exiting the pro-
    gram, Rene auditioned for the
    show that would yield his big
    break. W

    novel approach
    I
    n a small town in North
    Carolina, among the to-
    bacco fields and moun-
    tains, theres a church run
    by a snake-handling preacher
    with a sordid past who
    thinks hes a prophet. Or at
    least wants his parishioners
    to believe it. This is where
    Wiley Cash plants the reader
    at the beginning of the com-
    pelling A Land More Kind
    Than Home.
    Alternately told from the
    perspectives of 9-year-old
    Jess Hall, Sheriff Clem
    Barefield and Adelaide Lyle,
    the town midwife, the novel
    follows the events surround-
    ing the death of Jess older
    brother Christopher, a mute
    everyone calls Stump. The
    boys demise is directly re-
    lated to an incident that
    occurs behind the closed
    doors of the church, and the
    story that ensues after his
    death calls into question the
    healing that happens there.
    While exploring the limita-
    tions of faith and the fragil-
    ity of relationships, Cash
    joins the onrush of debut
    authors whose offerings have
    knocked it out of the park.
    A Land More Kind Than
    Home proceeds like a re-
    strained thriller. Its a page-
    turner, but it doesnt get
    fantastical until the ending,
    which calls to mind images
    of the reality-based Cops
    reruns and seems a little
    more unrefined than the rest
    of the book. But Cash main-
    tains focus and doesnt stray
    so far that its unbelievable.
    Part of the story examines
    the relationship people have
    with religion and how in-
    voking the name of God can
    cause people to make choic-
    es they would have other-
    wise thought twice about.
    But another striking part of
    the novel is how much
    young Jess actions set cata-
    clysmic events in motion.
    Hes a child and therefore
    doesnt realize it, but his
    words cause some events to
    finally breach the precipice
    upon which they were teeter-
    ing.
    Throughout the book, Cash
    switches first-person per-
    spectives like its old hat
    his transitions from Jess
    naive, juvenile point of view
    to Adelaides elderly stand-
    point dont read like the
    work of a first-time author.
    He maintains his rapturous
    writing style but makes a
    subtle and clear distinction
    between the three voices.
    Without even knowing which
    chapter youre in, you could
    easily figure out through
    which set of eyes youre
    seeing the world.
    And though there are so
    many perspectives and a
    number of flashbacks and
    back stories involved, Cash
    stays true to maintaining the
    focus of the primary story-
    line. He manages to always
    find his way back to the
    present, which is an impres-
    sive feat in such a somber
    and far-reaching narrative.

    S
    chool may be out, but for
    Twist in Plains Twp., prom
    season is about to arrive
    and honey, shes fierce! The local
    gay bar and club will be hosting
    two proms in the upcoming
    weeks, and everyone is invited.
    In 2010, a Mississippi high
    school senior, Constance McMil-
    len, was told by her high school
    that she couldnt wear a tuxedo
    or bring her girlfriend to prom.
    This year, a senior from Hanover
    Area High School reported an
    incident involving a teacher
    videotaping him and his date, a
    transgender female, at the prom
    and then showing the video to
    students in class on Monday.
    The bullying of lesbian, gay,
    bisexual, transgender and queer
    (LGBTQ) youth has become a
    national topic, and the unfortu-
    nate suicides of numerous gay
    teens has put the reality of the
    challenges these young people
    face in the spotlight.
    Nik Hughes, manager at Twist,
    said the time has come for a
    different type of prom.
    We think of how far weve
    come in life, and you think things
    have changed, but then you see
    that these 16 year olds are still
    dealing with the same things
    being out that we did by not
    being out, he told the Week-
    ender while sitting at one of the
    many tables in the bar area of
    Twist. This will be the prom you
    wish you had but never could,
    he added.
    Twist kicks off its prom events
    on Friday, June 8, and the 31 year
    old said Twist doesnt care who
    your date is or what they wear, it
    just wants you to be yourself.
    The bar took a poll on its Face-
    book page to determine the
    theme of its first prom and with
    voters choosing Ke$has song,
    We R Who We R, it appears
    promgoers agree with Hughes.
    Prom attire isnt required but
    you dont need to give a drag
    queen an excuse to wear a
    gown, Hughes joked. The
    Wilkes-Barre resident, who will
    be DJing the event on June 8,
    said no one needs to have any
    inhibitions and suggests you
    come check out what its all
    about.
    The prom king and queen,
    Jared Swank and Selena Echo
    Leyc respectively, will be in
    attendance, and Hughes will be
    playing prom-esque songs late
    into the night.
    I may play the Macarena.
    You never know, he teased.
    If thats not enough to entice
    you to take a walk down memory
    lane, Lori Prashker-Thomas of
    Shadow Catcher Photography
    Ltd., will be on hand to take
    prom photos. In addition to giv-
    ing attendees the opportunity to
    dress up and dance in an envi-
    ronment where they dont have to
    be afraid to be themselves, a
    portion of the proceeds will
    benefit the NEPA Rainbow Alli-
    ance.
    The NEPA Rainbow Alliance
    is the largest nonprofit orga-
    nization serving the LGBTQ
    community in Northeastern
    Pennsylvania, John Dawe, the
    executive director of the NEPA
    Rainbow Alliance, told the
    Weekender via e-mail. We ad-
    vocate, empower and give a voice
    to the LGBTQ individuals, fam-
    ilies and causes.
    Want more prom? Not only is
    Twist hosting the We R Who
    We R prom June 8, but the
    prom continues Saturday, June 9
    with a 21-plus event from Eman-
    ski Sweet.
    For the second round of prom,
    Hughes said there will be a con-
    test for best-dressed and a drag
    show as DJ Chris Emanski spins
    more prom tunes. A portion of
    the proceeds from Saturdays
    festivities will also benefit the
    NEPA Rainbow Alliance.
    Dawe said the NEPA Rainbow
    Alliance will use any funds
    raised to sustain its programs,
    including its program for empo-
    wering youth. He added people
    should go to the prom to have a
    fun, safe time, and benefit a great
    cause all at the same time! W

    bitch & brag
    By Jeff and Amanda of 98.5 KRZ
    Special to the Weekender
    Jeffs Bitch:
    I have a short fuse when it
    comes to poor customer ser-
    vice. And there are two partic-
    ular things that drive me nuts.
    Thankfully, I have a great
    solution for one of them.
    1. Give me a live, breathing
    person to talk to: If I have a
    question about billing on my
    credit card, I dont want to
    call an 800 number and go
    through endless prompts try-
    ing to simply talk to a human
    being. Thats BS! But compa-
    nies try to force you to do
    everything online these days
    because then they dont need
    to employ as many workers. I
    get crazy insane when I get
    lost in automated systems but
    thankfully, there is a solution:
    GetHuman.com. This amazing
    website will tell you the short
    cut to get directly to a real
    person for every major com-
    pany. It has never failed me
    and saved me hours of aggra-
    vation.
    2. The other customer ser-
    vice issue that makes me go
    ballistic is when I get through
    to a customer rep, and they
    inform me theyll have to call
    me back when someone in
    that department is available.
    Case in point: I recently
    signed up with Identity Guard,
    one of those identity-theft
    protection f irms. They e-mail
    me with an alert that my pri-
    vacy may have been violated,
    and I need to log in and check
    my account. When I was un-
    able to do so because the pass-
    word they gave me wouldnt
    work, I was told they would
    get back to me in a few
    hours. So I could be having
    my identity stolen, and theyre
    too busy to do what I am pay-
    ing them to do! So I called
    and canceled I guess I did
    have a solution for both prob-
    lems after all!
    Bottom line: In this econo-
    my, no company can afford to
    lose customers. They need
    you more than you need them,
    so stand up for your rights and
    spend your money where its
    appreciated!
    Amandas Brag:
    Im a sucker for advertis-
    ing, and whenever I see a new
    sunscreen product come out, I
    try it. Ive tried most of the
    new sunscreen products, and
    as the summer begins and the
    sun gets stronger, I just have
    to tell you about my favorite
    new sunscreen.
    Its the most lightweight,
    non-sticky, spray formula
    ever! Neutrogena Ultra Sheer
    Body Mist Sunblock is the
    bomb.com. Its a spray formu-
    la that you apply four-six
    inches away from your body,
    and the product evenly sprays
    on without needing to be
    rubbed in.
    Its waterproof, sweat proof
    and wont clog your pores.
    You never have to touch it,
    and its so sheer and light,
    without being greasy. I can
    even put makeup right over it
    without any problems.
    I bought both the Neutroge-
    na Ultra Sheer Body Mist
    Sunblock and the face Neutro-
    gena Ultra Sheer Face Sun-
    screen. They even have a cool
    misting formula that will cool
    you down while protecting
    your skin from the sun. I dont
    like feeling greasy or slicked
    when I put on sunscreen, so I
    had to pass on this gem I
    found while testing new prod-
    ucts.
    Neutrogena offers the Ultra
    Sheer body mist in many SPF
    levels, all the way up to 100!

    AGENDA, FROM PAGE 39
    sorry mom&dad
    By Justin Brown
    Weekender Correspondent
    I
    once knew a man with
    the last name Green. He
    was rich, successful and
    accustomed to getting every-
    thing he desired. Fast cars.
    Nice houses. Beautiful girls.
    I was in high school when
    we met, and I was also used
    to getting what I wanted.
    Lunch money. Video games.
    Decent fellatio from the
    class redhead, who I would
    pretend was Lindsay Lohan
    when all I could see of her
    was her hair and freckled
    arms gripped tightly to my
    thighs.
    One day Mr. Green rolled
    up to the Italian restaurant
    where I worked driving a
    brand-new Hummer. Wet
    saliva dripped from the tip
    of my bottom lip, forming a
    river to the crease in my
    chin as I drooled over the
    vehicle. Hummers were new
    on the market, and my body
    ached for one!
    Help Mr. Green carry his
    takeout to his car, I was
    instructed.
    As I followed Mr. Green,
    who had a tight grip on his
    firm loaf of homemade gar-
    lic bread, I struck up a con-
    versation about the Hummer.
    This is awesome! I
    shouted as I invited myself
    to sit in the drivers seat,
    hand on the wheel.
    Stop by my house some-
    time. Ill give you a ride!
    he offered.
    I figured he was just being
    polite since he knew the
    owners of the restaurant. A
    week later, when randomly
    passing his house with my
    friend Kerry, I showed up at
    his door. When we got in-
    side, Mr. Green was hanging
    out with a group of couples
    drinking and watching porn.
    After noticing a video cam-
    era in the corner, we made
    up an excuse to leave.
    That night, I got a phone
    call from Mr. Green.
    Your friend Kerry is a
    beautiful girl, he stated be-
    fore suggesting a threesome.
    I hung up the phone real-
    izing Mr. Green wanted
    something in exchange for
    me getting a ride in his
    Hummer. Though group sex
    wasnt on my bucket list,
    yet, I was still determined to
    take that ride.
    Ill wear the pigtails, but
    Im not sucking the lolli-
    pop! exclaimed my friend
    M&M as I coached her on
    flirting with Mr. Green so he
    would let us borrow the
    Hummer.
    She wound up sucking the
    lollipop, I wound up driving
    the Hummer, and Mr. Green,
    well, he wound up not get-
    ting a taste of M&M after
    all. W
    Justin got to drive a Hummer, but it took some effort.

    Summit denes a sharp-
    dressed man. With
    his polished look and
    attention to accessories
    this entertainer and magician could give
    a tip or two to the man struggling to nd

    WEEKENDER: How did your
    parents dress you as a child?

    item do you own the most of?
    CORBY: Its a mix of Polo shirts,
    white undershirts and black socks.
    WEEKENDER: What fashion
    advice would you give to our male
    readers?
    CORBY: Take the time to try on the
    clothes before you buy them, and make
    sure they t well. When in doubt or just
    because, ask the girls at the store you are
    in their opinion of the item on you or the
    whole outt youre looking to purchase.
    What you may think doesnt look good
    may actually look great youre just
    not used to it. W
    Even as a child, Denny Corby had a polished fashion sense.

    just for the
    health of it
    By Tim Hlivia
    Special to the Weekender
    W
    hen it comes to market-
    ing, retailers often use
    the terms fad and
    trend. And while these terms
    are often used interchangeably,
    they are actually quite different.
    One common question is
    Whats the difference between a
    fad and a trend? The distinction
    is actually quite simple. Fads are
    short lived. Think ThighMaster,
    the Vibrating Belt and Tae Bo.
    Trends, on the other hand, gener-
    ally have more
    staying power
    and will
    typically
    produce
    better results.
    Lets start with the assumption
    that you are fairly busy with
    work, and have friends, family
    and home duties that take up a lot
    of your time. You might not have
    the luxury of spending hours in
    the gym like a pro athlete or
    underwear model. The good
    news is you can still do the work-
    outs that athletes and models do
    right now you just might not
    know what they are.
    If you want to lose your gut for
    good, then you need to put aside
    useless, fad exercises and focus
    on the tools that will change your
    body from the inside out. Trading
    fat for muscle is simple, on pa-
    per, but the work behind it is
    difficult. Its not so much that its
    hard; rather, its the
    compliance and consis-
    tency factors that are
    typically the downfall
    for most newbies.
    According to a study con-
    ducted by Penn
    State University,
    when dieters arent
    lifting weights,
    approximately 22 per-
    cent of their weight
    loss comes from muscle.
    And with less muscle, you risk
    negatively affecting your metab-
    olism.
    Your move: Three bodyweight
    or dumbbell workouts per week
    that force your body to burn far
    for energy long after youve
    stopped exercising.
    Why? The fat-burning op-
    tion on almost all cardio ma-
    chines produces little progress at
    a snails pace. Youll burn fat, but
    as a study by the American Col-
    lege of Sports Medicine shows, if
    you push your effort level beyond
    this fat-burning zone and com-
    bine sprints or circuits with in-
    termittent
    periods of
    rest, youll
    burn more
    calories over-
    all and shift just as
    much fat in less time, as well as
    spare muscle loss.
    Stick to tried and true exercises
    and leave the fads for the skinny-
    jean companies.
    Heres a sample of what you
    can expect from a fad-less work-
    out:
    Perform15 repetitions of
    each exercise resting as needed.
    Complete two-four circuits de-
    pending on fitness level.
    Dumbbell swing, mountain
    climbers, dumbbell shoulder
    press, jumping jacks, dumbbell
    rows, burpees, pushups, jump
    squats and upright rows. W
    Trends with
    benefits
    Tae Bo, at right, and the ThighMaster,
    above, are perfect examples of
    short-lived workout fads.

    get your game on
    By Robbie Vanderveken
    Special to the Weekender
    S
    ince I have been hearing
    all of these news stories
    recently about the oncom-
    ing zombie apocalypse, I
    thought it would be fitting to
    review The Walking Dead
    game. Unless you have lived in a
    fallout shelter for the past two
    seasons, you have probably
    heard of the wildly popular
    comic book and AMC television
    series The Walking Dead.
    Zombie movies have been
    done to death since the 60s.
    Their first real bite into main-
    stream came with George A.
    Romeros classic film The
    Night of the Living Dead and
    over the past couple of years,
    zombies have shambled their
    way into every aspect of pop
    culture.
    The new Walking Dead
    game is episode one of a five-
    part series created by Telltale
    Games. Available for the PS3,
    Xbox 360 and PC as a down-
    loadable title.
    The game is an action-adven-
    ture with RPG elements focus-
    ing on characters that are forced
    to survive among the living
    dead. The Walking Dead is a
    beautifully drawn point-and-click
    adventure game, Episode 1: A
    New Day is the first of five
    episodes. Even though this game
    is a bit short, lasting about four
    hours, it is really stylish and
    enthralling.
    The story of this game is
    about a convict named Lee Ever-
    ett, who has been given a second
    chance at life in a world overrun
    by the undead. Along the course
    of the story Lee meets several
    characters from the comics and
    TV show along the way, howev-
    er, his story is meant to be about
    a new group of survivors.
    Early on, Lee meets a young
    girl named Clementine; this
    hardened criminal shows a softer
    side by befriending her and
    promising to take care of her
    until they can find her parents.
    Lees relationship with Clem-
    entine becomes very caring;
    even though he isnt her father,
    he begins to love her like his
    own daughter.
    If youre craving a run-and-
    gun action packed ride, this isnt
    the game you are looking for.
    Just like the show, it is very
    character-driven. This is a deeply
    personal and emotional experi-
    ence, and thats why it feels just
    like the franchise. Dont get me
    wrong, the game has a bunch of
    action sequences, but youll
    spend the majority of your time
    making decisions and living with
    the consequences. That is the
    thing that makes the game so
    interesting. Someone will ask
    you a question, and youll have a
    limited amount of time to pick
    one of four responses. Whatever
    you decide will impact the
    whole story. Not only will it
    change the way everyone will
    perceive you, but it will change
    everything that happens not only
    in this game, but all of the other
    episodes that will be coming
    out.
    Not everything in the game is
    emotional you do get to kill
    zombies after all. You navigate
    Lee with one joystick and then
    move an on-screen reticule with
    the other. There are several ob-
    jects in each level that can be
    interacted with and whenever
    you encounter a zombie, it is a
    frantic mix of button presses and
    quick-time events. It is actually
    quite scary because if you mess
    up the consequences can be dire.
    For the most part, the game
    handles pretty well. Sometimes
    there are hiccups in sound and
    some of the puzzles are just
    silly, but I dont think it takes
    away from the experience too
    much. I think this game is a
    fantastic start to a series, and I
    really cant wait to see what the
    story holds for Lee and his crew.
    For a $5 download, you really
    cant go wrong especially if
    youre a fan of the TV series or
    comic book.
    If you cant get enough of
    The Walking Dead series,
    dont eat someones face: Down-
    load this game and get your
    zombie game on. W

    but then again ...
    By Jim Rising
    Weekender Correspondent
    T
    he divorce is final today.
    As you read this, one of
    the longer relationships in
    my life will be h-i-s-t-o-r-y. For a
    change, its my doing. For another
    change, its no ones fault. Its just
    that it is time. Maybe past time.
    Eleven years is time enough to
    get to know each other. I can
    sense when something is wrong.
    Weve had our ups and downs,
    she and I, but I have to say its the
    good times that I will take with
    me. When she was good, she was
    very, very good and, well, you
    know the rest.
    I am reminded of a song (most
    things in my life have a song
    attached to them, dont yours?),
    and I will quote from No Re-
    grets by Tom Rush:
    I know your leavins too long
    over due/ For far too long Ive
    had nothing new to show to you.
    Goodbye dry eyes I watched
    your plane fade off west of the
    moon/ It felt so strange to walk
    away alone.
    No regrets/ No tears goodbye/
    Dont want you back/ Wed only
    cry again/ Say goodbye again.
    The long-suffering wife agrees
    that it is time to part with her. She
    sees me spending less time with
    her and not enjoying her compa-
    ny as much as I once did. The
    LSW has in the past prevented
    me from giving her up, but now
    both she and I know the time has
    come. After all, I have children
    her age. The time to turn her over
    to someone who will keep her
    with tender loving care, let her
    run wild and free in the summer
    breeze and romp over the high-
    ways and byways that she loves is
    now.
    I will turn her over in exchange
    for my 30 pieces of silver, but I
    wont feel I have betrayed my
    little heartbreaker. She is on to
    another adventure with a younger
    man, and I wish her well. Is it
    odd to fall in, and then out, of
    love?
    Adios, MGB. W
    Reach Jim at
    jmrising@comcast.net. Even
    more rants are on his blog at
    jamesrising.com.
    No tears
    goodbye
    Jims longtime love is on her way to another man, but
    he has no regrets of letting her go.
    The long-suffering
    wife agrees that it
    is time to part
    with her. She sees
    me spending less
    time with her
    and not enjoying
    her company
    as much as I
    once did.

    PIZZA WITH POP
    Poppys Pizza Kitchen is now
    open in the former Rodanos
    Pizza (219 N. Memorial High-
    way, Dallas).
    Naturally, pizza is one of the
    new takeout/delivery joints big
    draws, and Poppys offers four
    different styles: Original round,
    micro-thin shell, Sicilian square
    and double-crusted square.
    Round pies come in 10, 14, 16
    and 22 inches, while square is
    available in six or 12-cut in-
    crements, both with a bevy of
    topping options.
    Signature pizzas include the
    American Pie, a blend of Amer-
    ican cheese with sauce and spic-
    es, the fresh basil Margherita,
    shrimp scampi and Hawaiian.
    But if youre not feeling like
    pizza, Poppys also has sand-
    wiches, strombolis, calzones and
    salads the chicken fruit salad
    with grilled chicken, apples,
    pears, mandarin oranges, Crai-
    sins, candied walnuts and Swiss
    cheese caught my eye plus a
    delightful little section called
    kitchen delicacies, where youll
    find garlic or pepperoni knots,
    pizza fritta, peanut butter and
    jelly bites, Nutella bites or straw-
    berry bites.
    Plus, all summer long, Poppys
    will have an outdoor barbecue
    Friday-Sunday featuring ribs,
    chicken and salads for takeout or
    delivery as well.

    PLAY BALL!
    The Home Run Deli (64
    Maffett St., Plains Twp.) recently
    opened. Owned by Brian
    Strausman of Kingston. Straus-
    man, as the name of his eatery
    might indicate, is a lifelong base-
    ball fan.
    When I was looking to open
    the deli, this was a great way to
    tie the two together, he told The
    Times Leader last week.
    Full of a mix of his own mem-
    orabilia and that of his friends
    and coworkers, The Home Run
    Deli offers daily sandwich spe-
    cials and a full menu. It is open
    Monday-Friday from10:30
    a.m.-7 p.m. and Saturday from
    10:30 a.m.-2 p.m.

    THE GREAT EAT WAY
    When my mom and I headed
    to Jim Thorpe to see The The
    Band Band perform at the
    Mauch Chunk Opera House
    Friday, we made sure we had
    ample time to enjoy the many
    charms of the Switzerland of
    America.
    Among our plan was to dine at
    one of the fantastic restaurants
    downtown, and the Broadway
    Grille & Pub inside the Inn at
    Jim Thorpe (24 Broadway) did
    not disappoint.
    Itd been some time since we
    ventured to this cute little town,
    so we were surprised at how
    gorgeous the renovations were to
    the restaurant space inside the
    inn. With exposed brick walls
    that had a cutaway to view the
    well-stocked bar area below and
    intimate atmosphere, we knew
    we were in for a treat the moment
    we sat down.
    We started by splitting the
    Broadway salad, a blend of
    greens topped with Kalamata
    olives, tomatoes, toasted sun-
    flower seeds and beets with cran-
    berry herb vinaigrette. It was
    truly a revelation, one that actual-
    ly made me want to eat beets, by
    the way.
    Ever a creature of habit, Mom
    went with the wild-mushroom
    chicken Marsala, which she cited
    was among the best shes tried of
    her favorite dish. I went totally
    left of center for myself and
    chose vegetable curry, which
    featured butternut squash, sweet
    potatoes and chickpeas cooked in
    coconut milk and a mild blend of
    curry spices atop rice. To say it
    was incredible wouldnt do it
    justice. It was creamy, flavorful
    and one of the best dinners Ive
    had in a really long time. So
    much that I couldnt stop putting
    my fork down to rave about it
    and I will continue to do so until
    I return to get it again.
    And I must give props to the
    wonderful staff, who were atten-
    tive and friendly from the get go,
    which, sadly, isnt too often the
    case these days.
    I encourage anyone to take a
    daytrip to Jim Thorpe. Enjoy its
    quaint little shops, take a tour of
    the Packer Mansion and be sure
    to dine at Broadway Grille &
    Pub. Youll thank me (and maybe
    take me along when you go back
    for seconds).

    A
    few years back, it looked
    like roller derby was all the
    rage here in NEPA. But to
    many, the frenzy seemingly rolled
    out just as quickly as it rolled in.
    Not so to the ladies of the
    Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Roller
    Radicals who have been skating
    strong since September 2009 and
    boasts a roster of 25-30 girls that
    stretches from Harveys Lake to
    Stroudsburg.
    There was derby in the area
    prior to the Radicals, but as was, I
    guess, the usual case around that
    time, derby was still just getting
    off its feet, and there were just
    kinks that needed to be worked
    out, said Alana De Luca of Ed-
    wardsville, the teams president
    and head coach. And thats how
    the Radicals came about. We are
    the only local Northeastern Penn-
    sylvania team.
    The Radicals will host a home
    bout with the Brandywine Roller
    Girls Sunday, June 10 at 6:30 p.m.
    at Skateaway Roller Rink in
    Wilkes-Barre, and though De
    Luca coaches and presides, she
    still gets down and dirty on the
    rink.
    First and foremost, Im always
    a skater, and thats what Ill tell
    anybody, she stated.
    De Lucas derby alter ego is
    Liberty Violence, a name sug-
    gestion from her brother, and her
    mother proposed sticking with
    the Western theme to choose
    number 1200, as in high noon.
    I was like, Done! Ill just go
    to practice, and you people can
    come up with my persona, she
    recalled, laughing, before adding
    that her persona is still her.
    But with derby, you get to be
    kind of a little bit more of an
    exaggerated version of yourself,
    she explained. Im not a wuss
    off the track, but Liberty Vio-
    lence, she can take some blows
    and give some blows. Alana, shes
    like, You know what? Im not
    going to start anything, youre
    cool.
    The Radicals hope to soon
    become part of the Womens Flat
    Track Derby Association
    (WFTDA), the international
    governing body of roller derby.
    WFTDA also educates participa-
    nts on the rules of the sport, pro-
    vides tips and helps leagues con-
    nect with each other.
    This season, the Radicals ex-
    panded its playing field and had
    its furthest bout to date in Akron,
    Ohio, in March. Itll continue to
    play teams from Upstate New
    York, New Jersey, Long Island,
    N.Y. and other points within
    Pennsylvania.
    This season, we thought,
    Lets see whos out there, De
    Luca said. Its always a crazy
    time when the Radicals roll into
    town.
    De Luca joined her first derby
    team in Connecticut, the closest
    team to where she lived in New
    York. Though shed always played
    sports growing up, that stopped
    once she got to college.
    Instead of gaining the Fresh-
    man 15, I gained the Freshman 45
    and kept gaining, she said.
    Once I graduated and moved
    back home, I was pretty heavy; I
    tapped out at probably 330
    pounds.
    She decided to make one final
    effort to get fit and ended up
    dropping 100 pounds.
    I wanted to find something to
    keep myself in shape, she said.
    Working out can get kind of
    boring, so I went into work (at
    Hot Topic), and I found a derby
    flyer and thought that it was
    cool.
    De Luca moved to NEPA in the
    fall of 2009 for work and now
    being teamless was one of the
    biggest bummers because derby
    had become such a big part of my
    life.
    A few months later, De Luca
    got wind of the Radicals from a
    coworker and promptly signed
    up.
    Honestly, it was the best deci-
    sion I ever made. W

    GEMINI (MAY21-JUNE20)
    Ready for launch, captain? Oops, you look
    surprised; didnt you realize your scheduled
    blastoff is today? Its nowtoo late to properly
    calculate the trajectory of your emotional
    rockets, but you can prepare in other ways.
    For example, research possible places to
    crash land and take stock of your inventory of
    practicality, flexibility and resourcefulness.
    Last-minute takeoffs are scary, but I predict
    reasonable preparations on your part this
    week will make you more than ready read,
    extremely likely to find and explore a
    lush, undiscovered land youve heretofore
    only dreamed about and which youd never
    have found without this happy accident.
    CANCER(JUNE21-JULY22)
    Lately people have been looking at you as
    they would at something thats usually dan-
    gerous but has been rendered harmless, like a
    defanged cobra, a stinkless skunk, a dis-
    mantled nuclear warhead or perhaps a de-
    clawed crab. When deprived of a sense,
    people tend to become powerfully aware of
    their remaining senses, helping themto
    compensate and often revealing hidden
    talents. In your case, its your potential for
    causing harmthats been temporarily dis-
    armed; however, that means you can now
    plumb the until-now-unknown depths of
    your ability to instigate peace, stimulate joy
    and radiate harmony.
    LEO(JULY23-AUG. 22)
    I dreamt you started a band called The
    Unstoppables, symbolic of your ability to
    accomplish virtually anything you set your
    mind to, even achieve long-termsuccess in a
    fickle and unfriendly corporatized music
    industry. You had the power to pull together a
    substantial and loyal fan base, get along
    fabulously with your diverse bandmates and
    make a decent living off your music. It was
    your mission. Is there anything in your life
    that you can identify as your purpose? Prac-
    tice saying it: (Blank) is the reason I was put
    on this planet, and nothing can derail me
    fromdoing it.
    VIRGO(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
    Imbored with magicians who pull doves,
    rabbits or tigers out of their hats. If youve
    been perpetuating this kind of un-amazing
    cliche, shame on you, Virgo. Maybe you
    could pull something more useful out of it,
    like a cure for cancer, a cheap, renewable
    energy source or a portable time machine. If
    youre wasting your ability to performreal
    miracles on paltry sleight-of-hand tricks,
    stop! Imwarning you, if you dont exercise
    those stiff and unused muscles and perform
    at least one minor miracle this week, your
    candidacy for sainthood (or martyrdom,
    really) could be called into question. Use it or
    lose it, baby.
    LIBRA(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
    Egyptian pharaohs built pyramids as
    gravestones. These represented their earthly
    power and wealth, a tangible symbol of the
    pharaohs importance. They also served as
    beacons to thieves who knewthat these rulers
    were entombed surrounded by their material
    fortunes. Eventually some pharaoh wised up
    and hid his tomb to help prevent his stuff
    getting stolen after he was dead. Its a practice
    Id recommend for you, Libra lately
    youve advertised your achievements more
    effectively than a pyramid could and found
    most of your worth siphoned right out from
    beneath you. The next time you do some-
    thing great, shut up about it, and enjoy more
    of the rewards.
    SCORPIO(OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
    Barbara Kingsolver writes an essay about
    her pet hermit crab, whod periodically retreat
    into his shell and enter a death-like state, not
    eating, moving or responding to outside
    stimuli. Eventually, hed emerge and go about
    his hermit-crab business as if nothing had
    happened. Finally she deduced that although
    the crab lived vast distances fromthe ocean,
    he was responding to the moons pull it
    was high tide in Tucson again. Your own
    mysterious withdrawals probably seemas
    inexplicable to your intimates (and yourself)
    as a hermit crabs private motivations. The
    difference is: Youre a conscious, sentient
    being, therefore capable of working with
    your own tidal moods or at least not torturing
    us with them.
    SAGITTARIUS(NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
    Ideas have a life of their own. They seek to
    propagate themselves, to spread, mutate,
    evolve and grow. Some persist despite frantic
    efforts to stamp themout. Even those who
    despise superstitions can still feel compelled
    to not walk under ladders or step on cracks in
    the sidewalk, for instance. This is an example
    of ideas having a life beyond our conscious
    thought. I say all this to excite you, not to
    confuse or frighten you. Your own smart
    brain is ready to pump out ideas that will last
    for many years, maybe even forever. Make
    thempositive, helpful ones.
    CAPRICORN(DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
    Have you ever dreamt that youre on stage
    or delivering a presentation and you have no
    idea what your next line is or who youre
    supposed to be? This week you may feel as if
    you fell backwards into a play you didnt
    knowyou were in. Shoved out in front of the
    crowd, you probably wont remember a
    single line since you never knewany to begin
    with. But you must admit youre thrilled to
    have an audience again, even if you dont
    knowwhat the hell youre doing. Own your
    stardom, Cap. Your newmantra fromthis day
    forward: Everyone wants to see me shine.
    AQUARIUS(JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
    Aweek of run-ins and unlikely confronta-
    tions awaits you. Youll engage in a cutting
    battle of wits with your most devious, bril-
    liant and challenging adversary. Youll also
    need to deflect the poisonous attentions of
    the sexiest, most wickedly aggressive villain
    in your life. Besides that, youll probably
    have to lock horns with that old billy goat
    who is your most dull, obstinate, conservative
    influence and the one you have the most
    respect for. Be inspired, not daunted. Imagine
    each foot extended to trip you and hand
    outstretched to stop you as just another rung
    on the ladder of your achievement. Be flat-
    tered by the attention, not intimidated. Re-
    member, no one would spend this much time
    and energy opposing you if you didnt matter.
    PISCES(FEB. 19-MARCH20)
    Youre about the only thing going forward
    this week. Fierce, hurricane-force winds are
    lofting furiously pedaling witches on bicy-
    cles, transvestite prostitutes tussling with
    their pimps, three-piece-suited business men
    and the fat corner hot dog vendor downtown
    as you head uptown unimpeded. Dont be
    distracted. Artfully dodge flying mailboxes,
    mannequins and manna fromheaven. Your
    goal is all that matters. Get a good grip on it,
    the only thing that promises to stay rooted
    and stable in all this chaos. Then and only
    then can you safely reach out a helping hand
    to those who need it and pull theminto the
    eye of your storm.
    ARIES(MARCH21-APRIL19)
    Before you call the local exorcist regarding
    your boss or girlfriend, make sure theyre
    actually possessed. I mean, isnt that a little
    like the pot calling the grass green? Youve
    been so unlike yourself this past week that
    Imsure at least one friend has noticed. Are
    you overworked or stressed out? Maybe. But
    isnt it more likely that your perpetual quest
    for true freedomhas led you to transcend the
    restrictions of your own self-definition? In
    other words, I hope youve realized that
    youre just an actor playing the part of your-
    self. The sooner you understand that you also
    happen to be top understudy for a plethora of
    other roles, the freer you will be.
    TAURUS(APRIL20-MAY20)
    In the future, we may travel to distant solar
    systems inside hollowed-out asteroids de-
    signed to function like little worlds. For
    decades, possibly even many generations,
    humans will live inside these planetoids
    while they cross galaxies in search of other
    life or planets to populate. Theres no pre-
    dicting what people (or their descendants)
    will be like after decades inside a traveling
    asteroid. The same thing, however, is true of
    ourselves we may begin an action today
    with no concept of what the future conse-
    quences will be. In fact, I predict that any
    major decisions you make this week will
    have unforeseeable results. Not good or bad,
    just surprising. W
