Letter from the editor
A
nyone who grew up in or
found their way into NE-
PA knows that summers
here are full of a few sure bets:
Icky humidity, lots of pretty lakes
to beat the heat, millions of bugs
and more than a few great sum-
mer festivals.
Whether its at your local fire
company, a fair or a church, good
food is definitely a summer must
in these parts once the season
hits and everyones opinions
on which picnic or festival is best
is about as long as its potato-
pancake line.
It seems that the Northeast Fair
sort of kicks the season off,
which is why we chose it as this
weeks cover story (pgs. 14-15).
Not only does it boast some of
that aforementioned fair food, but
the Northeast Fair is also full of
live music, agricultural exhibits,
baking competitions and much
more.
And, to drive home how pop-
ular the fairs baking competi-
tions really are, the Weekenders
Betty Crocker-esque Staff Writer,
Stephanie DeBalko, volunteered
to make the lovely apple pie that
is featured on the cover. From
scratch, I will have you know.
Real apples and everything, as
opposed to canned apples like I
would have tried to pass off as
homemade.
As soon as she brought it in
last week for its moment in the
spotlight, General Manager Ra-
chel A. Pugh and I began sniff-
ing around.
Did you do the photo shoot?
Rachel casually called out from
her office a few times before we
actually did the big shoot.
Naturally, we made sure to
give her the first piece of what
was a very tasty pie and the
last cover image that our Creative
Director Steve Husted will shoot
and design for us. You see, Steve
is leaving the Weekender this
week after six years with us. As
we wish him well in his new
endeavor, we welcome a familiar
face: Former intern Amanda
Dittmar, who is taking over as
graphic designer.
As always, thanks for reading
sorry we didnt save any pie
for you!

JVWGOES TO CAMP
Local filmmaker Joe Van Wie
has announced the launch of a
Kickstarter campaign to fund
the making of the film Camp
St. Zombie.
A horror/comedy hybrid, the
movie will tell the story of St.
Lazarus, a camp for wayward
children run by the Catholic
Church. The kids begin mutating
into flesh-hungry zombies thanks
to a barrel of toxic waste dumped
into the lake by a duo of inept
military soldiers and a priest and
the camp counselors must defend
themselves against them.
Van Wie, who will direct the
movie, is the CEO and principal
owner of local advertising agen-
cy and production house JVW
Inc. and was an executive pro-
ducer on the locally shot inde-
pendent film Forged, which
won top prizes at the HBO In-
ternational Latino Film Festiv-
al and the Providence, R.I.,
Film Festival.

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
EVEN MASS MURDERERS
NEED FRIENDS
Norway is home to perhaps the
most inmate-friendly prison in
the world (as mentioned previ-
ously in News of the Weird),
but the correctional system has
an imminent crisis, as Anders
Behring Breivik (the confessed
killer of 77 people last year) is
nearing formal conviction and
sentencing. Officials fear the
sociopathic Breivik will try to
kill inmates to add to his toll, yet
Norwegian law forbids solitary
confinement as cruel. Conse-
quently, according to a May
report by Norways Verdens
Gang newspaper, the officials
have begun a search to select,
hire and train appropriate
friends to hang out with Brei-
vik behind bars to win his trust
and prevent further mayhem.
Among Breiviks favorite recre-
ational distractions: Chess and
hockey.
CULTURAL DIVERSITY
-- Collections of comically
poor translations are legion, but
the Beijing municipal govern-
ment, in sympathy with English-
speaking restaurant-goers, pub-
lished a helpful guidebook re-
cently of what the restaurateurs
were trying, though inartfully, to
say. In an April interview with
the authors, NBC News learned
the contents of Hand Shredded
A$$ Meat (sic) (merely donkey
meat) and other baffling English
descriptions (all taken from ac-
tual menus), such as Cowboy
Leg, Red-Burned Lion Head,
Blow-up Flatfish With No Re-
sult and the very unhelpful
Tofu Made by Woman With
Freckles and Strange Flavor
Noodles.
-- Competitive facial-hair-
growers are revered in some
countries, with Pakistan and
India featured in recent reports.
Pakistani Amir Muhammad
Afridi, 42, whose handlebar lip
hair extends in an arc almost to
the top of his head, told reporters
he had to move from his rural
home to the more secular Pesha-
war because of threats that his
pride and joy was un-Islamic.
And the Guinness Book record-
holder, Ram Singh Chauhan, 54,
of India, offered grooming tips in
an interview with BBC News,
revealing that he keeps his 14-
foot-long moustache conditioned
by cleaning and combing it for
an hour each day (treated with
coconut-based hair oil) and la-
mented that he must wind it
around his neck to keep it from
interfering with his daily activ-
ities.
WAIT THATS ILLEGAL?
(1) In Kent, Washington, in
May, Yong Hyun Kim, 21, was
charged with assault at a movie
house. Annoyed by a group of
kids in the row behind him who
were constantly talking, laughing
and throwing popcorn during
Titanic, Yong slapped the near-
est boy, bloodying his nose and
knocking out a tooth. (2) In Pir-
masens, Germany, in May, a
61-year-old woman was fined the
equivalent of almost $1,000 for
assault. Frustrated by telemarke-
ters constantly cold-calling her,
she took it out on one by blowing
a whistle into the telephone,
allegedly causing permanent
damage to the telemarketers
hearing.
CHUTZPAH!
-- Ms. Stormy Moody was
arrested and charged with aggra-
vated burglary in Henderson
County, Tenn., in May after her
next-door neighbor returned from
a trip and discovered that quite a
few items (from the petty to the
more expensive) were missing
from the home. For some reason,
Moody felt secure enough to be
wearing some of the clothing as
she chatted sympathetically with
the victim about the missing
items.
-- Most public officials caught
sexting immediately turn re-
morseful, but not Michigan ap-
peals court judge Wade McCree
III. In April, when the husband
of a female bailiff in McCrees
court saw that the judge had sent
the bailiff a shirtless photo of
himself, McCree told a curious
reporter for Detroits WJBK-TV,
Hot dog, yep, thats me. Ive
got no shame in my game. Im
in no more clothes than Ill be at
the Y this afternoon when I swim
my mile. The still-irate husband
said he would pursue a judicial
commission complaint against
McCree.
PEOPLE DIFFERENT
FROMUS
(1) Calvin Hill, 54, was arrest-
ed in Greenwood, S.C., in May
after allegedly stabbing a 41-
year-old man with whom he was
arguing in the back seat of a car.
The police report stated that the
men were arguing about who
can have the most sex. (2)
WJBK-TV reported in June that
two men in the Brightmoor
neighborhood of Detroit wound
up in a gunfight over which one
made Kool-Aid better. (Neither
man was hit, but two bystanders
were reportedly wounded.)
RECURRING THEMES
In Stockholm, N.Y., in May, a
24-year-old man became the
most recent to have a friend
shoot him just because the man
wanted to know what it felt like
to get shot. The friend, Shawn
Mossow, 25, relented, finally, and
fired a .22-caliber rifle shot into
the mans leg, but the man is
expected to make a full recovery.
CORRECTION
Contrary to News of the
Weird of Wednesday, May 23,
prominent breatharian Ellen
Greve is not dead, which clearly
means that she has been cheating
on the sun and air only diet
that she promoted during the
1990s. In reading a news story, I
must have confused Greve with
one of her followers (who appar-
ently faithfully observed the
diet). W
Try News of the Weird Pro
Edition at
NewsoftheWeird.blogspot.com.
Two veteran Church of England vicars were in the
news in May for their unique approaches. Rev. An-
dy Kelso left the church after 25 years to start an
Elvis Presley Gospel Tribute act as Elvis Prayer-
sley. Said Kelso, I felt God say to me very strong-
ly, Take Elvis to the church. And Rev. Nick Da-
vies of Cheltenham, England, promises to continue
breathing fire part-way through his sermons (to
mark Pentecost, in which the Holy Spirit descends
on Jesus disciples, appearing as tongues of
flame).

Take in the sights and sounds of the
Northeast Fair for one low price
By Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Staff Writer
N
ortheastern
Pennsylvania
seems to have
cornered the
market on bazaars and
festivals. Maybe its
because of our melting
pot of heritages or the
tight-knit communities,
but every year around this
time, the air becomes thick
with the scent of sweet and
savory fried foods, and the
days stretch into nights
lled with rides, games
and even more food.
And the rulers of those
events are the fairs. There
are only 110 listed this
year by the Pennsylvania
State Association of
County Fairs (PSACF),
and one of them is the
Northeast Fair. That local
event has a story steeped
in nostalgia, starting out
in 1967 as the Pittston
Twp. Carnival run by the
Pittston Twp. Volunteer
Fire Department.
I think people,
especially in the Pittston
area, just have always
gone to the carnival in the
summertime, said Donna
B. Kuzminski, marketing/
webmaster for the fair.
The people in Pittston,
they are community, and
they have supported the
re department for many
years, and I think it just
continues.
The Northeast Fair will
run Tuesday, June 19
through Sunday, June 24
in Pittston Twp. and will
offer rides, live music,
motorsports competitions,
exhibits, vendors and a
number of contests.
Always a six-day
event, the original carnival
was held next to the main
re station on Bryden
Street, which still operates
today. The fair has been
held at its current location
next to a second re
station since 2001.
People just kept
coming, said Joseph
R. Aliciene, president
of the fair and member
of the re department,
about the growth of
the event. We had
entertainment when
people didnt have
entertainment, and
it sort of drew
some people in,
and we had rides
and we had games
... So we were
just like a mini-
fair (in the early
stages).
The operators of
the fair applied for
state-fair status in 2002
and changed the name to
the Northeast Fair. After
a three-year probation
period, in 2005 it ofcially
became a state fair
under the auspices of the
Pennsylvania Department
of Agriculture.
There are state fairs in
Pennsylvania, (but) no one
state fair, Aliciene said.
FRIENDLY
COMPETITION
W
hen the
Northeast Fair
was ofcially
recognized by the state
of Pennsylvania, the
opportunity presented
itself to host competitions

contest and the PABlue
Ribbon Apple Pie contest.
In those and a number
of other contests, the
winners advance to the
Pennsylvania State Farm
Show Competition.
As a fair, you have
to assign judges that
are authorized by the
agriculture department,
Aliciene said, noting that
most, if not all, of the
judges are from out of the
area. So you pick from
that list. Theyre assigned
in the various categories
theyre called
departments by the fair
so in each department,
there are judges that are
authorized.
Winners of most contests
also receive a nominal
prize, and thats where
its benecial to have the
states help.
The state comes
in and helps with
reimbursements, especially
in the contest side of it,
Aliciene explained. You
pay it out rst, and then
the state reimburses the
fair for a portion of it.
Every day of the fair
also offers live music,
something thats been an
integral part of the event
even before it became
the Northeast Fair. And
entry to the shows, which
will feature Cabinet,
Start Making Sense, Jam
Stampede, the cast of
Beatlemania and Shawn
Klush, is included in the
admission price. Thats
also true for just about
everything else.
That is such a good
value, even at $9, because
they get all the rides for
free, said Kuzminski,
noting that tickets can also
be purchased in advance
at a discount. They get
to see all the exhibits and
all the entertainment and
the motorshows and the
concerts.
Ryan OMalley, who has
been in charge of the stage
and booking since 2004,
shared that there will
also be an original music
showcase.
The bands do compete
for money prizes, so its
technically a battle of the
bands, he said. But I try
to view it as giving these
bands a chance to get their
music heard.
FAIRLY INVOLVED
T
he Northeast Fair
is situated between
Wilkes-Barre and
Scranton and gets about
37,000 visitors, according
to Aliciene.
It is probably one of
the better fairgrounds in
our local area, he added.
Its not muddy, all the
midways are paved We
could expand at any part
of the grounds and add an
electric service, which is a
phenomenal thing for even
the existing fairs, because
they have to bring PPL,
and we dont.
But all of that is due
to the effort of the fairs
operators.
The only reason why it
is remaining a success is
because of the people that
stay involved, Aliciene
said. Alot of our people
have been there for 40
years, and thats what
makes it go. Everybody
says, Well, dont quit
this year, quit next year,
and thats basically what
happens with it.
Kuzminski shared that
shes always been involved
in community events, so
staying active with the fair
is a no-brainer.
Im not sacricing
much at all, but Im at
least getting something
done for the community,
she stated.
And for OMalley, it
comes back to the notion
of support.
Its just cool bringing
in these bands and seeing
people come out and
support them, thats the
biggest thing for me, he
said.
After being involved
since its inception,
Aliciene is ready to pass
the torch to someone
whos willing and able.
You know, its like
having a baby, raising
it up, Aliciene shared.
Youd hate like hell to
see it go down the tubes
after we got to this point,
so you want it to continue.
This could be a lifetime
situation its not only
lifetime, as long as you
comply with all the rules
and regulations, youre a
fair forever. W

G
eorge Wesley is a man
at ease. As the local
reggae master prepares
to release his 10th album,
Old Lion, hes still got the
twinkle in his eye of a
young musician, yet the wis-
dom of one that has record-
ed a fine body of work.
Wesley says the new al-
bum, his first in four years,
was partly inspired by a
three-month trip to Florida.
While there, he says he and
his girlfriend, Annette Mi-
raglia, who also plays per-
cussion, felt reenergized
about music.
Ive been thinking about
doing it for a while, and
trying to get the project to-
gether, says Wesley. Being
down there, everything start-
ed manifesting itself. Gigs
started happening, and the
whole vibe was very in-
spiring. We were in a differ-
ent place, and people were
hearing the music in a whole
different light.
Wesleys new CD was re-
corded at SI Studios in Old
Forge. Some tracks are re-
workings of old favorites,
some were written prior to
his visit to Florida, while
others came as a result of
the trip. Wesley said he
wrote the whole album using
loops, and that as soon as he
returned to NEPA, he hit the
studio.
Wesley describes Old
Lion, the autobiographical
title track, as my journey.
And though hes best known
as a reggae artist, he has
always stressed that he also
has roots in rock n roll and
blues. With the release of
Old Lion, however, he
seems to be fully embracing
his love for reggae and his
association with it.
As much as I love every-
thing else, the bottom line is
reggae has been very good
to me, he says. And why
fight it? I love all kinds of
music, and the beautiful
thing about reggae is because
its such a new form of mu-
sic, I could pretty much use
all of my influences. I cant
deny that Im indentified
with it, and if Im going to
be identified with it, I may
as well do my best to really
promote myself that way and
use it as a vehicle for what
Ive got to say.
In addition to a celebration
of reggae, the album also
serves a celebration of Wes-
leys spirituality.
I also have to look at my
own mortality, he says.
While I was in Florida, I
became a great-grandfather.
Wow. It really made me look
at everything differently, and
really the whole idea of the
album, I wanted to put it
together for the youth.
With Old Lion, Wesley,
58, sounds as young as ever.
The songs are gripping, the
production is excellent, and
he sings with passion. He
says that the Almighty and
the beauty of creation con-
tinue to inspire his songs.
I just want to be here for
upliftment, he says. Its a
tough life. Life can be so
tough, you forget about the
simple joys.
Wesley will hold a CD-
release party with a full
band Friday, June 15 at the
River Street Jazz Cafe in
Plains Twp. There will also
be a CD-release performance
on Tuesday, June 19 at the
Gallery of Sound on Mundy
Street in Wilkes-Barre. Other
upcoming shows include
June 16-17 at the Split Rock
Wine Festival, June 22 at
RiverFest and July 18 at the
Weekender/Mountaingrown
Original Music Series.
Wesley says hes not only
proud of Old Lion, but
with a catalog of original
material dating back to 1986,
hes also proud that he can
play so many of his own
songs at his live shows.
Its nice, as an artist, to
be able to go out and do my
own thing, and still be able
to play tribute to the people
that have influenced me. W

tech talk
By Nick Delorenzo
Special to the Weekender
W
ell, Apple fans are again
in for a treat. At the
Worldwide Developers
Conference in San Francisco, the
company announced Monday
another new slew of Apple prod-
ucts and upgrades. Among them,
a new version of the OS X oper-
ating system, this one codenamed
Mountain Lion, along with a new
MacBook Pro and an update for
the MacBook Air, as well as
upgrades to the iPad, iPhone and
iPod in the form of a new mobile
operating system, iOS 6.
So whats in the pipeline?
Mountain Lion, the new version
of Apples OS X operating sys-
tem, will offer better integration
with iCloud and will be a bit
closer, in terms of user experi-
ence, to Apple mobile devices.
Microsoft has taken strong steps
in this direction as well, so it will
be interesting to see how that
move plays out.
Apple also announced an up-
date for the MacBook Air, Ap-
ples extremely thin laptop, with
beefed-up graphics cards and
expanded solid state storage
space for improved performance.
The new Air will cost between
$1,000 and $1,100, which is rea-
sonable given all of the tech-
nology packed into the case.
Also touted was a major up-
date for the MacBook Pro, which
an Apple marketing official
touted as the most amazing
computer we have ever made.
The Pro has been thinned
down to be quite a bit closer to
the Air, and it will feature an
improved high-pixel-density
display.
The new Pro comes in two
flavors, one with a 13-inch dis-
play and one with a 15-inch dis-
play. The 13-inch Pro will cost
between $1,200 and $1,500, and
the 15-inch Pro will range be-
tween $1,800 and $2,200.
Finally, iOS 6 has been an-
nounced, reportedly toting more
than 200 new features, including
upgrades to Siri that will allow
her to offer detailed sports
information, movie show times
and reviews and app-launching
capabilities. Additionally, Siri
will be available on iPad devices
running iOS 6.
Improved Facebook and auto-
motive integrations are coming,
as well as improvements to Mo-
bile Safari and a new Passbook
app that essentially acts as a
mobile wallet, storing customer
loyalty cards and the like.
Most importantly, in its contin-
uing scuffle with Google, Apple
has dropped Google Maps, re-
placing it with a new Apple-
derived Maps app that offers
traffic integration, turn-by-turn
navigation and more. W
Nick DeLorenzo is director of
interactive and new media for
The Times Leader. E-mail him
atndelorenzo@timesleader.com.
Apple moves forward
Phil Schiller, Apples senior vice president of worldwide
marketing, talks about new features to the companys
laptops during the Developers Conference in San
Francisco, Monday, June 11.

Its tempting to want to hate
John Mayer. With his new pseu-
do-troubadour image and the
fact that he hasnt seemed to
use his natural talents for any-
thing but charming the pants off
of some celebrities for the past
three years, whats to like?
But just when youve decided
its a lost cause, that nothing
great is going to come
from the voice and strings
that made women swoon at
the idea of being a verita-
ble wonderland, the lotha-
rio comes riding back to
charm with a perfectly
executed new album,
Born and Raised.
Perfect is a strong word
but isnt misplaced here; Mayer
is at his best with a lyrically
creative, softly orchestrated
record filled with delicate orga-
nic guitar.
To be fair, the record is lack-
ing in Mayers signature soul-
shaking solos, but songs like
Something Like Olivia and
Love Is A Verb remind us that
hes still a capable musician.
And the generational Speak For
Me and uniquely constructed
Walt Graces Submarine Test,
January 1967 prove that Mayer
is ready to redefine himself in
terms of his musical persona.
The more emotive side of
Mayer is fully present on Born
and Raised, but its most prom-
inent on songs like Queen of
California and A Face To Call
Home, and his heartfelt deliv-
ery on both tracks evens out the
albums laid-back atmosphere.
Hopefully Born and Raised
is a progression, but not a per-
manent departure from some of
Mayers previous work. But
maybe this is who the
guitar player is now
the troubadour look isnt
an act, its who hes be-
come. This album is solid
evidence for that argu-
ment.

One thing that can be said for New
York-based death-metal band Dr. Acula is
that it never seems to lack creativity. From
its well thought-out song titles, one-of-a-
kind instrumentals and piercing lyrics,
this resourceful band seems to be con-
stantly evolving its music and is set to
release Nation Tuesday, June 19 via
Victory Records.
Since forming in 2005, Dr. Acula
vocalists Tyler Guida and Casey Carrano,
drummer Jesse Ciappa, bassist Kevin
Graffeo and guitarists Ricky Ostolaza and
Bill Graffeo has undergone tons of
lineup changes. However, the current
six-piece act seems as though it has final-
ly gotten it right.
This release begins with the short spo-
ken intro Be Careful What You Wish
For before launching into an all-out
assault with Heavy Handed. Heavy is
really an understatement. From this track
on out, Nation is definitely not for
anyone who is not a fan of death metal.
The title track and Thinner are two of
the albums most hostile.
Despite the overall aggressive nature of
this bands music, it also begins many of
its songs with instrumentals that then lead
into metal, making for an interesting
dynamic on nearly every track. Having
two vocalists also adds a very distinct
force to Dr. Aculas music. The back-and-
forth between Guida and Carrano is in-
tense on the short and unique Robot
People from Hell.
Before you even get to the bands music
on Nation, its ingenuity is evident in the
titles of each track. Luckily, the bands
music is equally as interesting on this one.

Dr. Acula

hostility
When a member of a band releases a
solo album, its usually so their voice
can be heard, something that may not
happen much as part of a bigger outfit.
But for Adam Sivitz, who by day
drums for modern-rock band Mercury, it
isnt his voice he wants listeners to hear
on his instrumental solo album Under
A Blueberry Moon. He wants them to
hear the Bali steel pan featured on all 10
tracks that gives the album much more
depth.
The gentle title track mixes world-beat
drums and piano while The First Sun
gives the first tropical tinge amid searing
guitar. Song For Sendai has woeful
violin and cello; a muffled, throaty bass
adds a deeper layer. Toward the end, the
strings wail before blistering guitar fades
the song out.
Poppy Orange, as bright and airy as
its name, is the perfect antithesis to
Sendai with tinkling, happy piano.
Sounds of ocean waves and seagulls give
And The World Jogged On a calming
quality; you can almost feel the ham-
mock sway beneath you. Mother Nature
works her way in again on Infrasonic
via sounds of thunder and rain as tap-
ping on the steel pan mimics the storm.
The only vocals are found on closer
Olympia Place, and they come as
snippets of a far-off conversation in a
restaurant as clinking plates and silver-
ware add new percussion elements amid
piano.
While pleasant and a good introduc-
tion to the steel pan, many songs on
Under A Blueberry Moon sound simi-
lar to each other, and its easy to get lost
and lose interest, even as you sway in
that hammock.

By Jen Stevens
Special to the Weekender
R
egardless of where you
stand on environmental
issues, it is safe to say that
the majority of us enjoy a good
beer. So for those of us who are
concerned about the environ-
ment, we are happy to see that
many breweries throughout the
country are changing the way
they brew their beer and are
focusing more and more on the
environment.
Coors was the first to develop
recyclable aluminum beer cans.
As one of the largest beer com-
panies in the world, Coors also
sells ethanol, which is resold to
gas stations that cater to eco-
friendly drivers. Sierra Nevada is
another large brewery and has
more than 10,000 solar panels
that allow the company to power
almost the entire facility in an
eco-friendly fashion. The Brook-
lyn Brewery, located in the heart
of Brooklyn, uses wind turbines
to generate all the electricity for
the brewery which makes them
the first company in New York
City to be powered entirely by
wind power.
Magic Hat Brewing Company,
located in South Burlington, Vt.,
is also on the list of eco-friendly
breweries. Magic Hat currently
has a Clean In Place system
that is used in the fermentation
tanks in order to decrease the
amount of BOD (biochemical
oxygen demand) in its water
system. This system is designed
to eliminate having someone go
into the tank and scrub with
harsh chemicals and use a contin-
uous stream of water to clean the
tanks.
The brewery built a cooler in
early 2000 that uses the cold air
from outside to cool it during the
winter to conserve electricity.
Typically beer consists of water,
hops, yeast and barley. Magic
Hat uses hops that come from
U.S. producers and the barley
from Europe. The ingredients are
obtained from well-respected
sources that have strict quality-
control practices. The brewery
makes sure to recycle all of the
bottles that arent used on the
bottling line, as well as paper and
cardboard. Magic Hat reuses the
rinse water from the bottling line
as well.
If youre a beer lover its good
to know you can enjoy a tasty
beverage from many breweries
all while preserving the envi-
ronment. Here are a few other
eco-friendly breweries to check
out: Odell Brewing Company
and New Belgium Brewing
Company, both in Fort Collins,
Colo., and Eel River Brewing
Company from California, which
was the first brewery in the state
to be certified organic. Now that
the green movement is starting to
catch on people are really begin-
ning to pay attention to what they
consume and how environmen-
tally sustainable things are. W
There are plenty of environmentally friendly brewing
companies out there.

T
he Little Sisters of Hoboken
make a return to the stage
this summer in Nunsense
2: The Second Coming when the
musical opens the Nuangola Grove
Theatres 2012 season Friday, June
15.
The original Nunsense, writ-
ten by Dan Goggin, follows a tale
of Mother Superior and her merry
band of sisters-turned-cabaret
performers after the convent expe-
riences a mass of unexpected
deaths. To pay for the burials, the
sisters put on a wildly successful
fundraiser cabaret show. The se-
quel, which follows five of the
original characters after their per-
formance launches theminto the
spotlight, promises all the same
hilarious and ridiculous antics.
The Grove first staged Nun-
sense three summers ago, and it
was one of the theaters bestselling
shows since reopening its doors in
2007.
Since the audience was so
receptive the first time, were hop-
ing that theyll want to come back
and see what kind of other crazy
things the nuns can get into, said
Michael Marone, the theaters new
executive producer and owner of
Cutting Edge Productions, which is
producing the 2012 season.
Marone is a veteran of North-
eastern Pennsylvania theater, com-
ing to the Grove after six seasons
as artistic director at the Pennsylva-
nia Theatre of Performing Arts in
Hazleton. He has also worked for
Little Theatre of Wilkes-Barre and
the Music Box Dinner Theatre in
Swoyersville.
While he generally has enjoyed
his career in the area, he admits to
sometimes having to fight the
coal-cracker stigma which
makes it hard to sell shows that are
off the beaten path, and a lot of
productions stay in the safe zone of
well-known Broadway titles or
productions with successful movie
versions.
But every nowand then, you
get to squeeze in something just for
the artistic sake, and your die-hard
followers will still come out and
enjoy it, he shared.
Those supporters in Nuangola
have a lot to look forward to with
Marone at the theaters helmfor the
next fewseasons. If the shortened
summer season goes well (Ma-
rones late arrival led to the normal
four productions being cut to three
this year), the Grove is exploring
the possibility of expanding to a
full-year production season. The
theater is hoping to stage a fall
youth production as well as a
Christmas showthis year. By 2013,
it hopes to be able to convert to the
year-round schedule.
Marone has found the Grove
staff and Nuangola community to
be extra supportive and motivated
to help the theater succeed.
The ladies who work at the
theater are always asking for new
ways to help, trying to be an active
part of whats going on, he said.
Even though theyre not theatrical
people and dont appear on stage,
they want to see positive things
happening in their community.
They dont want the stigma of,
Well, theres nothing to do in this
town!
All of this support will help ease
Marones transition fromhis last
theater to the Grove a bit easier.
Working with roughly one-sixth
the stage space and cutting rehears-
al time down froma comparatively
leisurely five weeks to daily re-
hearsals for half that time, hes
feeling the crunch. This summer,
the Grove continues to employ
professionals for its summer stock,
so condensing the paid rehearsal
time was a must.
But still, all of our actors are
local talent and absolutely fab-
ulous. Of the five people in the
cast, three either have degrees or
are pursuing degrees in musical
theater, including both of our lead-
ing ladies.
Marone emphasizes the gems of
talent that NEPAtheater has in its
midst.
Its great to go to NewYork or
big cities to see shows, but theres
wonderful talent right in our back-
yard. Every professional actor who
makes it big has to start small
somewhere. If we cant support
theater on a small scale, it means
our talent wont make it further. W

movie review
S
ummer movies are, by
design, dumb. But theyre
dumb for a very good
reason. When it gets hot outside,
our brains function at a slower
pace, and we cant process any-
thing more complicated than the
sight of Rihanna almost cursing
at something that may or may not
be a lobster. Summers movies
serve as a vaguely entertaining
distraction, something we can
kind of pay attention to as our
bodies recharge in the cool, dark
theater.
But sometimes summer mo-
vies overreach. Sometimes sum-
mer movies try to be a little bit
more than explosions crudely
superimposed over a close up of
somebodys hand jingling car
keys. Sometimes summer movies
attempt to be profound and artful
by awkwardly inserting empty,
philosophical discussions about
faith in between scenes of
phallic aliens jumping into peo-
ples mouths. Sometimes summer
movies turn out to be as laugh-
ably pretentious as Prometheus.
Prometheus, the prequel to
Alien that director Ridley
Scott, for whatever reason,
doesnt want to admit is a pre-
quel, opens with the first of
many needlessly cryptic scenes:
A monk-like humanoid stands on
a cliff and drinks from something
that looks like a decaying canta-
loupe. As he drinks, a spaceship
takes off into the stratosphere
leaving the humanoid behind to
quickly disintegrate into a river
below. This scene and others like
it are never properly explained. Is
it the birth of the human race?
An alien committing suicide after
his crewmates abandoned him?
What? Theres nothing wrong
with ambiguity or with making
your audience draw their own
conclusions but in Prometheus,
the onus is on the audience to do
the screenwriters job for them.
At any rate, the monolithic
Weyland Corporation (which has
cast a large sinister shadow
throughout the entire Alien
franchise) dispatches the titular
spacecraft Prometheus to a planet
whose location has been foretold
by a series of cave paintings and
other ancient artifacts. The expe-
dition is led by archeologist
Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace
star of the original The Girl
with the Dragon Tattoo) and her
smug boyfriend (Logan Mar-
shall-Green), who both believe
that the planets inhabitants may
be responsible for creating hu-
manity. But as in the previous
Alien films, the Weyland Corp.
has an ulterior motive for this
mission. Does it involve flute-
based space technology, needless
references to Stephen Stills and
Guy Pearce in old-man makeup
so unconvincing it looks like his
makeup artist threw wet tissues at
his face from across the room?
Ill never tell!
In spite of what Scott and
screenwriter Damon Lindelof
may think, Prometheus is not
this generations Solaris, which
actually took the time to flesh out
its characters and better define
their motivations. Prometheus,
however, takes its sweet time
going absolutely nowhere. With
the exception of the cold, yet
oddly charming android David (a
great Michael Fassbender), the
characters are walking ciphers
that are never recognizably hu-
man. Solaris also made sure its
storyline wasnt riddled with plot
holes. Did the crew of the Pro-
metheus really think it was a
good idea to take off their space
helmets and walk unarmed into
an otherworldly catacomb seem-
ingly made out of spinal cords
and trust that the pale, hulking
humanoids in black, bone-lined
spacesuits that live there
wouldnt punch them to death?
Wouldnt a biologist realize that
when something hisses at you it
probably doesnt want to be
cuddled? Also, why would you
want to cuddle something that
looks like a cross between a
cobra, a silverfish and a penis?
Quite frankly, Prometheus is
a mess. If you need to watch
some crazy, affected nonsense
about ancient astronauts, save
your money and watch an old
episode of In Search Of on
YouTube for free.

ralphie report
the
By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender
F
irst, she meets the guy.
Then she gives him her
number and infamously
says, Call me maybe. Fast
forward to the end of the
track, and Carly Rae Jepsen
now terribly misses the guy
she just met. But no, Jepsen
insists she isnt some crazy
Stage 5 clinger.
Well, I time-travel in my
song, Jepsen joked on The
Ralphie Radio Show. Be-
fore you came into my life, I
missed you so bad makes
absolutely no sense unless you
felt it, which is the guy that I
wrote that about. There was a
feeling that something was
missing, then he came in to
my life, and I was like, Oh,
you were the thing I missed.
By the way, in the wake of
Call Me Maybe, things un-
folded quite well for Jepsen:
She calls the guy who in-
spired the world-wide hit her
boyfriend.
Every time (Call Me May-
be) comes on, hes like,
Thats my song! Jepsen
said. It worked out OK.
But Jepsen said the song
was never actually intended to
court her lover, rather she
simply just wanted to write a
fun song about playing Cu-
pid.
Ive never actually asked a
guy for his number that way,
she revealed. I do have kind
of like a spontaneous part of
my personality that comes out
every once in a while. I did a
kiss-and-run
once.
Yes, exactly
how it sounds.
Jepsen ran up to
a guy, planted
one on him, and
sprinted away.
Not sure if one
would classify
that as playing
Cupid, but spon-
taneous nonethe-
less. The singer
was quick to
clarify that the
mark was not her
boyfriend; it
happened before
the two started
dating.
While Jepsen
didnt say if her
new-found fame
impacted her relationship, she
did note that she is having fun
living her hectic schedule.
I dont think I could be
going at this pace if I wasnt
enjoying it, she noted. Just
two days before taping our
interview in Philadelphia, the
singer performed in Las Vegas
at the Billboard Music
Awards. Its the adrenaline
and the rush of having so
many things that I love doing
that kind of keeps me through
the days where Ive only slept
a couple hours. Its totally
worth it.
Jepsens schedule looks
pretty filled through the end
of the year. She is currently
working on a full-length al-
bum that will be released this
fall and will coincide with
Jepsens support of Justin
Biebers Believe tour. The
Canadian singers will perform
44 dates across North Amer-
ica from September through
January. The tour stops in
Philadelphia on Sunday, Nov.
4 at the Wells Fargo Center.
Jepsen also confirmed that her
LP will include a collabora-
tion with The Biebs. Bieber
and his manager Scooter
Braun co-manage Jepsen and
landed her a record deal in
the U.S. with Interscope Re-
cords. W

novel approach
W
hile Toni Morrisons
works often encompass
recurrent themes, her
newest novel, Home, demon-
strates one absolute premise that
follows her characters everywhere
loss. Through this theme, the
characters make connections to a
home that becomes less about
place and more about the people
we leave behind.
Set in the 1950s, Home in-
troduces readers to protagonist
Frank Money. In the beginning of
the novel, readers track Frank
after his flee froma mental in-
stitution. When he escapes, there
is only one word on his lips
home. However, even after being
uprooted and serving his country,
he finds that America has not
changed and is no more grateful
than when he left.
Prior to the asylum, Frank
served in the Korean War. As a
veteran, readers come to assume
that his institutionalization was
due to a deteriorating mental
status. His flashbacks, which
come often, are likened to what is
nowdiagnosed as post-traumatic
stress disorder, a disease that
would not be formally recognized
until 1980.
Frank is motivated to escape
after receiving a dire letter regard-
ing his sister Cee. Though he
describes his past life as worse
than any battlefield, he returns to
his home of Georgia in order to
save Cee. Even considering the
physical war is left behind, his
homecoming signals an internal
war, one that takes hold of readers
until the very end.
Morrisons capacity to write
about loss and the grotesque
reveals itself in a variety of ways.
Foremost, the atrocities of Franks
wartime experiences have not left
him. Days pass, and the images
come back vividly to haunt him,
and likewise, the readers. Here,
Morrison, as she has done with
much of her fiction in the past,
employs a technique of demon-
strating brutality without judg-
ment. Morrison merely presents
the situation, and readers sit back,
take it all in and dissect the pieces.
The second most-disturbing
aspect of the novel is Cees pre-
dicament. While her life seems to
have improved after years of
torment fromher abusive step-
grandmother, Cee soon becomes
part of an experiment. Even with
the first wave of the civil rights
movement, Morrison offsets the
fight for equality with the deprav-
ity of what Cee is forced to en-
dure.
Home is best described as
beautifully poetic prose. In com-
parison to Morrisons previous
novels, it is less complex and
brief. There are instances
throughout the novel that feel
incomplete, but even considering
the brevity of this fast-paced
novel, Morrison succeeds by
leaving readers wanting more.
Once again, Morrison has estab-
lished her ability to master the
page and captivate readers with
every turn.

panning 40 miles through
Northeastern Pennsylvania,
the Lackawanna River
Heritage Trail has been a re-
source for joggers, nature lovers
and the like for about the past 15
years. While that rail-trail system
continues to grow, its devel-
opment probably shouldnt be
taken for granted.
The trail is such a valuable
resource, said Mark Meier, a
volunteer for the upcoming third
annual Heritage Explorer Bike
Tour and Festival. And its one
of those things that if no one is
willing to really step forward and
maintain it, then it goes away.
Hosted by the Lackawanna
Heritage Valley National and
State Heritage Area (LHV) and
Heritage Valley Partners, Inc.,
the non-competitive tour and
festival will be Saturday, June 16
at Mellow Park in Peckville. The
registration fees will go toward
the continued development of the
trail.
Trails cost a lot of money to
build, and it takes a long time to
get them funded, said Natalie
Gelb, executive director of the
Lackawanna Heritage Valley
Authority, the management entity
of the heritage area. Like right
now, were busy with the parts of
the trail that are finished, trying
to get more amenities, like
benches, trash containers and
directional signage as well as
interpretive signage.
What Gelb means by in-
terpretive signage is markers
that will help people understand
all about these sites and the his-
tory of the area. After all, thats
one of the primary goals of the
LHV.
Our mission, essentially, is to
preserve, conserve and educate
the public about all of our won-
derful historic, cultural, econom-
ic and natural resources, Gelb
shared.
Promoting the trail ranks fairly
high on the associations priority
list.
I mean you look at our goals,
the trail really helps us fulfill all
of those things: Connecting the
people and communities to each
other and telling the story
through signage and enhancing
the quality of life in the region,
Gelb said, adding that about 100
volunteers will be helping the
day of the event.In turn, the bike
tour provides more exposure to
the trail, bringing everything
full-circle. Mike Toye, another
volunteer and co-chair of the
event noted that last years Heri-
tage Explorer Bike Tour drew
more than 450 people.
We didnt make millions, he
said, laughing. We promoted the
trail to a lot of people that didnt
know it was there, so we ac-
complished our goal that way.
Gelb noted that there are 345
participants pre-registered so far
and an expected turnout of about
600 people, and participants can
choose from four routes, ranging
from five to 44 miles.
The festival is free and open to
everyone and will feature ven-
dors, exhibits, raffles and enter-
tainment by The Merchants of
Groove Blues Reunion (featuring
Teddy Young), Don Shappelle
and the Pickups and Jason O.
There will also be a childrens
bike rally and youth run.
Gelb, whose passion for local
history is palpable, stressed how
taking part in the tour and festiv-
al allows residents to be part of
telling the story and be part of
the story.
I like to say we celebrate the
past, but we dont live in it. were
building new traditions and heri-
tage every day, she said.
Meier echoed that claim.
Its really easy to assume that
theres some association sort of
taking care of things for you, he
said. But once youve actually
helped produce it, you realize
how much of what goes on is
actually due to other people who
are interested enough to make it
happen, and I think thats really
quite amazing, that this area has
a lot of that. W

I
n an era where economic
stresses and the recession has
left some salons struggling
and salon owners scratch-
ing their heads as to how to
cope, Mountain Tops Impressa
Salon has continued to prosper as it
enters its sixth year in business.
According to owner-stylist Kim
Smiga, who herself is a Kings
College graduate with a degree
in Marketing and Business, says,
The salons continued success and
growing reputation in the Moun-
tain Top/Wilkes-Barre /Scranton
area has been very simple, weve
built this business making people
look and feel amazing, and when
they are happy with the services
provided, they come back! My
team and I continue to offer great
services in a beautiful environment
and we treat people well. We offer
a wide range of beauty services for
men and women with an empha-
sis on haircoloring and precision
haircutting.
The salons Education Coor-
dinator and Master Stylist, Tony
Dorso agrees. Our client base has
doubled in size over the past two
years. The client, male or female,
is looking for a combination of
expertise and comfort in the salon
environment. We have combined a
contemporary, upscale, yet family
friendly environment, so that every-
one is comfortable here.
A30 year veteran of the salon
business, Dorso spent his rst 15
years in the Allentown / Lehigh
Valley market as owner of two of
the top salons in that area, and then
another 8 years in New York City
working for London based Toni &
Guy. Dorso knows all too well the
need to not only be competitive in
the ever changing salon market, but
to constantly keep one up on the
competition by virtue of continued
training for himself, owner Smiga,
and their team. Competition is
erce so you need to be on your
game, and a great part of that is
not just the salon environment and
overall persona that you project,
but the quality of the staff that you
hire, and their ability to provide top
notch service to a valued clientele,
says Dorso.
In addition, both Smiga and Dor-
so juggle their busy salon schedule
with other industry involvements
as educators. Smiga works for the
Redken 5th Avenue, New York
City, and Dorso for Iden Interna-
tional, Long Beach, California.
Both facilitate new techniques and
mentor stylists and salon owners
across the country. As educators
we are able to learn the latest tech-
niques and bring new ideas back to
the salon, which allows our team to
offer new ideas to our clients, says
Dorso.
Its a bit of a balancing act we
stay busy, says Smiga, Our sa-
lons educational goals are focused
on providing top notch education
for our entire team. In turn, our
team is knowledgeable and con-
dent to provide quality services.
Natural talent, passion, a love for
people, and a phenomenal attitude
are what it takes to be successful in
this industry. Pair those qualities
with thousands of dollars invested
in education and you have yourself
an in demand hairstylist.
True to that commitment of
hiring like-minded and forward
thinking stylists, Smiga brought
on board 25 year old colorist and
stylist Maria Bernazzoli, a native of
the Pittsburgh area. Maria has been
training with Redken Educators on
a monthly basis and recently spent
three days in NYC training with
world renowned educators Martin
Parsons and Nick Arrojo. Her
dedication to learning has been key
in her overall success at Impressa
Salon. Some hairstylists enter this
business and struggle to develop
their skills, and others are naturals,
says Tony, Kim adds, Maria is one
of those naturals, especially with
hair color and highlighting skill,
she has an eye for color and a natu-
ral way of making the salon guests
feel comfortable in her chair.
Our newest and most popular
services are spray tanning, hair dia-
monds, gel nail polish and Shape
ControlRedkens newest smooth-
ing and straightening system.
The spray tanning system offered
at Impressa Salon was recently
voted the #1 spray tan solution
among the competition. Spray tan-
ning is great for men and women
who want a bronzed look without
exposure to unhealthy UV rays.
The unique blend is formulated
with the highest quality of ingre-
dients that are virtually odor-free
and moisturizing to the skin. Unlike
other spray tanning products, this
award winning formula provides
a golden glow that lasts up to ten
days. Also, the tanning solution can
be customized for different skin
tones: Fair Skin, Medium Skin, and
Dark or Olive skin.
Another new trend offered at
Impressa Salon is Hair Diamonds.
The high quality crystals are ap-
plied to the hair using heat and
when cared for properly will last up
to two weeks. The result is a strand
of diamonds that create bling and
sparkle to any look.
Gel Polish remains very popular
among manicure goers because of
its astonishing staying power. The
polish lasts 2-3 weeks, strengthens
natural nails, and provides a mirror
like nish. Also, the gel-based pol-
ish uses a revolutionary technique
to dry the polish instantly, so
drying time and smudging polish is
never an issue. In fact, most women
prefer the natural look and feel of
the gel nail polish over other nail
enhancements.
Shape Control by Redken is
the newest and most technologi-
cally advanced smoothing and curl
reducing system the industry has
the offer. Its safe, formaldehyde
free, and leaves hair silky, shiny
and manageable. Shape Control
provides two service options, the
rst option offers the ability to
smooth and seal the hair while
reducing curl and frizz. The second
option renders a permanent result
which will completely eliminate
waves and curls.
Another frizz reducing and
smoothing treatment offered is The
Brazilian Keratin Treatment which
is unparalleled in its ability to leave
the hair soft and conditioned for up
to 12 weeks. The Keratin Treatment
has been the most controversial in-
novation that the salon industry has
seen in the past 5 years and has also
seen the most explosive growth.
The process takes about two and a
half hours but our clients claim it is
worth the wait to have manageable
and frizz-free hair.
With summer in full bloom and
both sun and chlorine revving up
to take a toll on the hair, Impressa
Salon has added a tier of services
specically formulated to strength-
en weak hair and eliminate chlorine
from the hair--inevitable damage
that comes with the season.
The demand for these services
will be on the rise, especially with
everyone craving new looks for the
summer season. Everyone is invited
to visit Impressa Salon so they can
help you meet all your hair care and
beauty needs. Consultations are al-
ways complimentary and highly en-
couraged. Consultations are a great
way to meet a new stylist and talk
about a new look before making a
commitment. Appointments can
be made by calling 570.474.5150.
Walk-ins are always welcome!

o sooner did Julianne
Hough graduate from
high school in Sandy,
Utah, than she hopped in her
beater of a Subaru and drove
to Los Angeles.
She had $2,000 in her
pocket, but fibbed to her
father and told him shed
saved up $5,000. Her rent
was $800 a month, so she
knew she had to land a job
quickly before her nest egg
was history.
As if her situation wasnt
stressful enough, Houghs
roommates were all drop-
dead gorgeous models who
barely had to lift a finger to
rake in the cash.
Theyd get checks for,
like, $10,000 and not have to
work for the rest of the
month, recalls Hough with a
laugh. And Id be out work-
ing my butt off auditioning
and taking classes. When Id
leave in the morning, theyd
all be sitting around in their
pajamas, and when Id get
home at night, theyd still be
sitting around in their paja-
mas.
Id call up my mom and
dad and go, Why couldnt I
be 6-foot-1? But I kept perse-
vering, and eventually it all
worked out OK.
Indeed, Hough only spent
about a month pounding the
pavements before she wound
up as a hoofer on the ABC
game show, Show Me The
Money. By the end of 2006,
she joined the cast of Danc-
ing With the Stars. She won
the contest twice and netted
Emmy nominations in 2008
and 2009 for her choreog-
raphy on the show.
After she left the reality
series, Hough set her sights
on movies and scored a num-
ber of high-profile jobs, in-
cluding a supporting part
opposite Cher in Burlesque
and the leading role in the
2011 Footloose remake.
Now, she anchors Rock of
Ages, the big-screen adapta-
tion of the still-running
Broadway smash which
opened in 2005 and earned
five Tony Awards.
Hough stars as Sherrie, a
small-town girl who arrives
in Los Angeles circa 1987
looking to make it in show
business and winds up falling
hard for Drew (Diego Bone-
ta), a Sunset Strip bartender
who also has dreams of star-
dom. Their rock n roll ro-
mance is told through the
hits of Foreigner, Journey,
Def Leppard, REO Speed-
wagon, Poison, Pat Benatar,
Bon Jovi and Twisted Sister,
among others.
The supporting cast in-
cludes Russell Brand, Mary J.
Blige, Paul Giamatti, Cathe-
rine Zeta Jones, Alec Bald-
win, Malin Akerman and, as
rock god Stacee Jaxx, Tom
Cruise.
There are cameos in the
movie by a wide array of
80s hitmakers, including
Sebastian Bach of Skid Row,
Debbie Gibson, Nuno Be-
ttencourt of Extreme, Night
Rangers Joel Hoekstra and
REO Speedwagons Kevin
Cronin. Members of Def
Leppard paid a visit to the
set for Cruises interpretation
of their hit, Pour Some Sug-
ar on Me. Rocker Lita Ford
also stopped by the Miami
soundstage where the movie
was being shot and brought
along some of her vintage
stage outfits as gifts.
I wore one of her corsets
in the movie, which was very
cool, says Hough, 23.
Houghs boyfriend, Ryan
Seacrest, was another fre-
quent visitor. Asked if the
American Idol emcee gave
her any advice about how to
rock out, Hough says, Hes a
businessman and so not a
rock star. I mean, in my head
and heart, hes a rock star.
But hes just the most clean-
cut, clean-shaven guy I know.
But he was there to root
me on. I feel like a lucky girl
because he was so motivating
and encouraging. It might
have been a little awkward to
do the make-out scene in
front of my boyfriend, but he
understands its just work.
Before production began,
director Adam Shankman
(Hairspray) sent members
of his cast to rock-star col-
lege where they underwent
vocal training, dance rehears-
als and physical conditioning.
For Hough, whose debut
country album hit the charts
at No. 1 in 2008, the tough-
est part was losing the nat-
ural twang in her voice.
I had a vocal coach
named Ron Anderson, who
trained Axl Rose back in the
day, she says. My range
grew so much. I learned how
to do some scream/growls
without killing my vocal
chords.
Hough admits she wasnt
the biggest fan of hair metal
going into Rock of Ages,
but she left the production
with a respect for all things
80s.
The melodies from those
songs are what really make
them so iconic and classic,
she says. Im not dogging
on non-melodic pop music
because I love it. But the
(songs in the movie) are
timeless because they have
strong melodies.
In the movie, Sherrie hits a
detour on her rode to star-
dom and winds up pole-danc-
ing at the Venus Gentlemans
Club, a strip joint overseen
by a no-nonsense manager
named Justice (Blige).
Learning how to strut her
stuff was a challenge for
Hough.
I thought I was going to
be doing a lot of bumping
and grinding on a pole. But I
came to find out was that
what you really need is upper
body strength.
After I did those scenes,
my arms were totally ripped.
But Im no pole specialist. I
cant believe some of those
girls in the movie who, like,
walk up and down and back-
wards on the pole and
theyre only hanging on by
one hand. Thats absolutely
incredible.
Afterwards, I had bruises
everywhere, especially all
along my inner thighs. And
lots of sore muscles.
One scene proved too hot
for audiences to handle.
While singing Rock You
Like A Hurricane, Hough
performed a lap dance on
Cruise. Preview audiences
reportedly disliked the se-
quence so much that Shank-
man opted to cut it from the
film.
It was so freakin badass,
Hough says of the number.
It was, like, the sexiest,
roughest performance in the
movie. And I think it was a
little bit too much for people
Women, especially, didnt
really like Sherrie after that.
So, they cut it out. But it
will be on DVD, for sure. W
Hough is ready to 'Rock'

AGENDA, FROM PAGE 39
sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
Weekender Correspondent
A
t 3:29 p.m. on
Friday afternoon,
my plans for the
weekend were still up in
the air. By 3:30 p.m., I
was searching my room
for clean underwear to
take with me on a last-
minute road trip with a
girl I met on a game
show.
Lets go on a road
trip! suggested a girl I
was on I Survived A
Japanese Game Show
with over an unexpected
phone call. She was
breathing heavily and
typing so loudly in the
background that it
sounded like she was in
a violent domestic dis-
pute with her keyboard.
Thats why Ill be re-
ferring to her as Xanax
in this story because she
clearly needs to be
prescribed some!
I have to go to Pittsburgh this
weekend to sign my lease so I
can go back to school, I ex-
plained.
Lets make it a road trip. Im
leaving Connecticut in 30 min-
utes to pick you up! Xanax said.
When she picked me up, Xa-
nax insisted I buckle up. If Im
going to drink and drive, youre
wearing a seatbelt. She then
cracked open a Four Loko.
We had a blast Friday night
and partied our asses off with my
new roommate. I woke up on
Saturday feeling gross and des-
perately wanted a Tic Tac and a
water balloon to throw at myself
so I could freshen up.
Xanax told me she told me she
cried herself to sleep, revealing
the reason she needed this last-
minute road trip was to get away
from home. Apparently, she
caught her father in an affair, told
her mom and now her parents are
getting divorced.
For the rest the day, she was
unstable. One minute she was
shaking and staring into the
distance, the next she was happy.
She had a nervous breakdown
the next morning at 4:30 a.m.,
waking me up in tears saying she
wanted to leave. She then ran to
her car as if she were being
chased by a rapist and left me
stranded 327 miles from home!
With no bus leaving for Scran-
ton, I had to take the bus to Phi-
ladelphia and stay with my buddy
Morgis. On my ride to Philly, I
thought maybe being stranded
was a sign I wasnt meant to go
back to school. Thanks to a
message on hip-hop flavored
potato chips called Rap Snacks
that I found at Morgis house,
which read Stay in School, I
realized I should still go back.
Sure, the scenario was nuts, but
when life gets crazy, at least you
know youre alive! W
Never take a road
trip with someone
you meet on a
game show
Justin got a bit of wisdom from
this package of snacks. True
story.

K
elly Ann Pisano has a
hard time parting with her
clothes. Aself-proclaimed
packrat when it comes
to tops, this 27 year
old from Pittston Twp. has a fear of
prematurely departing with attire that
someday just someday she might
want to sport.
Afan of feminine dresses and solid
bargains, Kelly knows how to keep her
outts looking soft yet sexy. Always
looking for an excuse to dress up, Kelly
makes for a perfect Style Pick of the
Week.
Favorite place to shop: Express.
Favorite accessory: My cross
necklace, it goes with everything.
Favorite brand name: I do not
have one favorite designer. My closet
is lled with a variety, but I will say if
I had tons of disposable cash, I would
head on over to bebe. They have some
awesome dresses.
WEEKENDER: How would you
describe your look?
PISANO: I like to feel sexy, yet
sophisticated, and sometimes just
downright elegant. I love wearing
outts that can be incorporated into
everyday life but can be turned into a
fancy night out with the addition of a
necklace or just a different pair of shoes.
Everywhere I go is an opportunity to
wear a dress! Not only are they comfy
and lightweight in the summer, they
ooze femininity and cuteness.
WEEKENDER: What kind of
clothing do you own the most of?
PISANO: I own a lot of shirts I am
kind of a packrat with them. I probably
have close to 200 shirts and sweaters.
The worst part is I just keep buying new
ones. I am a sucker for cheap, awesome-
looking clothes. I refuse to pay too much
for clothes and, most of the time, never
buy anything at retail price. I never feel
good in something I know I overpaid
for!
WEEKENDER: If you could redo
your entire wardrobe, what would
you fll your closet with?
PISANO: Marilyn Monroes style.
She had an amazing gure, and her
clothes denitely showed off her curves
in an elegant and sexy manner.
WEEKENDER: What is one item
of clothing youd never part with?
PISANO: I have these blue leopard-
print high heels that I wear a lot! They
t me perfectly, and they make me
feel fabulous. I wear them with jeans,
dresses, just about everything.
WEEKENDER: How do you go
about choosing your outft for the
day?
PISANO: I guess it just depends
on how I feel. The better I feel in the
morning, the more enthusiastic I am
about dressing up. Sometimes I just
wake up in the morning and know what I
want to wear. Each outt has a different
feeling attached to it, some days Im
relaxed while others Im just dying to
get dressed up!
WEEKENDER: Do you have any
fashion pet peeves?
PISANO: Too tight clothing and
shirts and shorts with ridiculous sayings
on them.
WEEKENDER: What do you feel
you look best in?
PISANO: Dresses that have a tighter
tting bodice and a ared lower portion.
I feel as though these types of dresses
really accentuate the hips.
WEEKENDER: Whats your
favorite comfy outft?
PISANO: I love the gym and going
for bike rides with my boyfriend, so
most of the time I am in my yoga pants
and tank tops. The Express yoga pants
seem to be the best tting for my body
type.
WEEKENDER: When did you
start to develop your own sense
of style?
PISANO: In high school, I always
got dressed up. Getting dressed up every
morning was the driving force to waking
up to go to school sometimes. I actually
still own a lot of the clothes I bought
in high school and even as far back as
middle school. I never like to get rid of
clothes because you never know when
youre going to want to nally wear that
shirt you thought was hideous.
WEEKENDER: If you could shop
anywhere in the world, where
would it be?
PISANO: Australia has some
awesome clothes. I used to live there in
college. They have a store for every type
of style with very reasonable prices. The
weather is always nice, too, so dresses
are on sale all year round! W

A
seemingly old-fashioned
hobby is becoming no-
ticeably more popular in
todays society. With local in-
terest groups, a social network-
ing site and a world-wide event,
knitting is making its way back
into modern-day lifestyles.
The Knit and Crochet Group
hosted by the Osterhout Free
Library in Wilkes-Barre had
originally started out as a club
only for teens. During the few
years that the program has been
around, it has evolved from
targeting a specific age group to
a club that is intergenerational.
Alissa Lukasavage, the teen
librarian at the Osterhout, is the
relatively new coordinator of the
Knit and Crochet Group. Even
though she is new to the posi-
tion, she has always been
around lending her helping
hand.
During their bi-weekly meet-
ings held on Saturday mornings,
Lukasavage enjoys the time she
spends with the members of her
group, which consists of a total
of 25 knitters of all different
ages and skill levels. The
amount of members who attend
the meetings vary.
Its just a time where knitters
can get together, talk to each
other and, of course, as were
talking the conversation always
strays, she said. Everybody
laughs, and we talk about differ-
ent things. Its really a good
time.
Lukasavage is surprised to see
how well-liked knitting has
become and how people of all
ages are becoming interested in
this hobby.
With popular web-
sites such as Etsy, I
believe that knitting
is becoming more
relevant in to-
days society,
she said. The idea of some-
thing being handmade is becom-
ing alluring to people; theyre
like, Oh, I want something
handmade.
Another website that is be-
coming popular in the knitting
world is Ravelry.com, a social-
networking site that knitters
keep track of information and
look for ideas and inspiration.
Its kind of like Facebook,
you know, but its just for knit-
ters. I just think its really cool.
I actually signed up not too
long ago, Lukasavage ex-
plained.
In 2005, Danielle Landes
created an event called World
Wide Knit in Public Day
(WWKiP), which will be cele-
brated at the Osterhout Saturday,
June 16. The day began as a
way for people to get together
as they are knitting. Instead of
everyone sitting alone in front
of the television, this was the
perfect opportunity to get up,
get out and engage with other
knitters.
Elaine Stefanko, head of the
information services department
at the Osterhout, was the one
who decided to introduce this
event to the area last year. After
seeing how well everything
went, Stefanko decided to make
this an annual event. She want-
ed to have the knitters get in-
volved and have a fun way of
getting people together.
During any day between the
second Saturday and the third
Sunday in June, this event has
increased its popularity each
year. WWKiP has been hosted
in many countries such as Aus-
tralia, China, Norway, France,
England, United States and
others.
Lukasavage talked about how
she thought the idea that Da-
nielle Landes came up with was
a great concept.
Usually people dont get
together when you are knitting
or crocheting. If people get
together, you might find out
people knit that you didnt know
about.
This year at the WWKiP
event, Lukasavage is very opti-
mistic that it will be a great
way of sparking interest in the
Knit and Crochet Group at the
Osterhout. She hopes that peo-
ple of all ages will see how
much fun the group has together
and will be interested in joining.
Its such a rewarding experi-
ence to make something with
your hands, she said excitedly.
Its spreading the word about
knitting, that its still alive today
and people around here are
interested in it. W

T
o many, the Marley name
might conjure up images
of two things: A reggae
legacy and a pot leaf.
But to Ziggy Marley, the eldest
son of Bob Marley and a suc-
cessful musician in his own right,
theres so much more to the latter
image than just preconceived
Harold & Kumar-esque fodder.
Its not just marijuana, its the
hemp, its the whole plant, Mar-
ley began in his easy Jamaican
drawl during a phone call from
California last week. Marijuana
is one part of the plant that is use
for one purpose, you have the
medicinal, the recreational use,
and hemp. Hemp is the industrial
use: Biofuel, the seeds are nutri-
tious, the fibers can be used to
make clothing and material, the
plant helps the soil, it doesnt
deplete the soil.
When people think about me
and this plant, usually they do,
Oh, Ziggy wants to legalize
marijuana. Thats not the whole
part of the story. I want the plant
to be free, I want all people as a
society, as a people, as a planet to
use this natural resource as a
benefit to us, just as we use every
other natural resource, oil, nat-
ural gas, solar, wind its a
natural resource that, for some
reason, we say, Lets not use this
one. Whenever it comes up, its
about the whole plant, not just
the smoking of marijuana.
And just like that oft-misun-
derstood plant and his advocacy
work on its behalf isnt the only
facet to Marley, a five-time
Grammy winner who made his
recording debut with his siblings
and father in 1979 and went on to
be the lead singer in the family
band, The Melody Makers.
While The Melody Makers last
released an album in 1999, Mar-
leys fourth solo effort, Wild and
Free, came out last June.
Thats a good ques-
tion, Marley replied
with a laugh when asked
what type of setlist hell
play at Mount Laurel
Performing Arts Center
in Tamiment Friday June
15. Some from the new
album with some old
songs, stuff like that.
While Marley doesnt
have album No. 5 on his
mind Not yet, Im
waiting until I have some
time, he said. When the time
chooses me, it will come, but not
right now. can fans expect a
new one from The Melody Mak-
ers anytime soon?
Yeah, theres been lots of
talk, he said, laughing, but we
havent done it yet, maybe soon.
In addition to touring, his
activism and being a family man,
Marley was the co-executive
producer on Marley, a docu-
mentary about his father that was
aptly released on April 20.
I dont know about surprises,
but I think (viewers will) feel an
emotional connection to his life,
not just his music but his life, by
this documentary, his son stated.
I think that is important.
Being a father of six, its safe
to say that Marleys children have
influenced his musical tastes of
late.
Ive been listening to the
Disney channel for a few days
now; the kids turned me on to it,
you know? he said, laughing. I
got caught up in that stuff. W
Ziggy Marley will perform at the Mount Laurel PAC Friday.

bitch & brag
By Jeff and Amanda of 98.5 KRZ
Special to the Weekender
Jeffs Bitch:
Theres an ongoing debate in
this country over voter ID, and
its ridiculous that we even have
to debate this. The Democratic
party and many minority groups
are taking a number of states to
court simply because the states
want all voters to be able to prove
who they are with a photo ID
when they show up to vote. What
is so wrong with that?
If you want to take a flight,
you must show photo ID. Same if
you walk into a bank to cash a
check, buy alcohol or even get a
tattoo or piercing! Voting is one
of the most important and sacred
rights we have. Is it all that diffi-
cult to pull out some form of ID
for that privilege?
The Democratic party and
various minority groups are
actually suing various states who
are trying to enforce or enact
voter ID laws. They claim that an
ID law would discriminate and
make it harder for minorities to
travel to get a valid ID to vote.
Huh? Are you serious? This is
their argument? If youre a mi-
nority, its harder to travel to get
an ID than a non-minority? Lets
get effin real here and cut
through the B.S.! By using that
moronic argument, we would
then have to assume that minor-
ities never get tattoos, buy alco-
hol or take flights! It gets even
crazier: Obamas White House is
even suing Florida to stop them
from purging names from the
voter registration rolls of people
who are deceased or not legal!
Can some please tell me what
happened to good, old common
sense and logic in this country?
My advice is simple: ID in hand
or not, head for the voting booth
this November because we need
to steer this country back to
sanity.
Amanda Brags:
We need your help to
do something really cool
in our
community,
and Im hoping
you can help
spread the word and
make this event a huge success.
We are attempting to break a
Guinness World Record in
support of skin cancer
awareness!
As you may know from
listening to our show, last
summer I underwent
some procedures after finding
that I had melanoma, the most
serious form of skin cancer. That
frightening experience, along
with this past years follow ups
and ongoing skin scans, has
made me brush up on my sun
smarts and want to tell everyone
I encounter to wear sunscreen
and practice sun safety! In sup-
port of skin cancer awareness,
98.5 KRZ, along with Radiation
Medicine Specialists, need your
help to break the Guinness World
Record for the Most People
Applying Sunscreen!
Our world-record breaking
attempt will be Saturday, June 30
from10 a.m.-noon at Radiation
Medicine Specialists (190 Welles
St., Forty Fort).
This is a free event, and well
supply the sunscreen! There will
be music and food, but more
importantly, you can be a part of
a World Record! Were really
hoping to raise awareness when it
comes to skin cancer and sun
safety by breaking this record
and need your help to make it
happen. Get your group together!
Let us know youre coming by
registering at 985krz.com. Well
only need two hours of your
weekend, so tell your co-workers,
family and friends!
Statistics show most people
start practicing sun safety after
they or someone they know is
diagnosed with skin cancer.
Dont wait. Start now and do
it in a big way! I genuinely hope
to see many of you there. Bring
everyone you know and lets
break a record! W
Amanda needs help breaking the Guinness World
Record for the Most People Applying Sunscreen.
Jeff wants her to smile like that all the way to the
voting booth.

E
very year, the first week of
June is the most exciting
time to be a gamer as the
industry has a huge convention
called E3 or Electronic Entertain-
ment Expo. Spanning four days,
E3 is the biggest event in gaming
and the place where all of the
console manufacturers and game
publishers have press confer-
ences to unveil all the new things
that are going to come out in the
next year. Unfortunately, I was
not able to attend this year, how-
ever, I did record the whole thing
and watch it at home, all 40
hours worth.
Last year, the biggest announ-
cement was the Wii U, a new
home console from Nintendo.
This year Nintendos press con-
ference was devoted to showing
off what the Wii U can do. Most
critics are not impressed with the
Wii U, but I am pretty excited
about it. If you havent see it, the
controller looks like a tablet PC,
it has a touch-screen in the mid-
dle and buttons and control sticks
on the sides. The goal of the
console is to appeal more to
hardcore gamers while contin-
uing to bring aboard casual gam-
ers.
Nintendo has shown off some
really interesting ways to play
using the touch-screen controller.
The new system is allegedly
more powerful than any console
on the market right now, and the
controller can act as a screen for
your game. If you are playing a
game and someone wants to
watch TV, you can hit a button
and stream your game to the
controller and keep playing I
think that sounds pretty cool.
Although Nintendo did a fair
job at showing off its new con-
sole, the thing that diminished
the excitement for the Wii was
the unveiling of new technology
from Microsoft. For me, the most
interesting thing shown off at E3
this year was the new Microsoft
Smart Glass Technology. Xbox
Smart Glass is a companion
application for Xbox 360 avail-
able for Windows Phone, iPhone,
iPad and Android devices com-
ing this holiday season. Smart
Glass will allow all of these
mobile devises to act as a con-
troller or second screen for the
Xbox 360, which is essentially
the same thing Nintendo is do-
ing, thus, Microsoft stole some
thunder from Nintendo. Beside
Smart Glass Microsoft didnt
show off anything surprising
while big games like Halo 4,
Tomb Raider and Call of
Duty Black Ops 2 all look great,
we heard about all of them last
year.
Sony announced several up-
coming game titles that look very
memorable: The Last of Us,
All-Stars Battle Royale, God
of War Ascension and, most
impressively, a new game from
Quantic Dream called Beyond:
Two Souls. Sony also demoed
its innovative Wonderbook which
brings books to life with the use
of PlayStation Eye and Play-
Station Move. The first game to
use Wonderbook is J.K. Row-
lings Book of Spells, which is
part of the Harry Potter universe
and it looks pretty fun.
Ubisoft stole the show as it
showed off a bunch of new
games, including sequels to
well-known games like Ray-
man, Just Dance, Splinter
Cell and Assassins Creed. It
also showed a video of the most
impressive looking game at E3
this year: Watch Dog, a
ground-breaking open-world
action-adventure that blends
cutting-edge technologies and
sophisticated game design into a
realistic and living open world. It
looks amazing.
This years E3 was pretty good,
however, it was not as exciting as
recent years no new console
announcements and only a cou-
ple surprise games. For me, the
highlights were Microsoft Smart
Glass, Watch Dogs and Assas-
sins Creed 3. None of the big
games are coming out in 2012,
but 2013 is looking to be a really
good year for gaming. W

Hey, I just met you,

This is crazy
Come play some beer
pong
Its for cancer, baby.
If you hate cancer and love
beer pong, Rachel Leggieri has
the perfect Saturday in mind for
you. Diagnosed with Hodgkins
lymphoma at 16, the now 24-
year-old Larksville resident has
been cancer-free for six years.
On Saturday, June 16, she will
host Shoot for the Stars, an
event to give back to an orga-
nization that helped her during
her treatment.
Leggieri said she fought the
disease and overcame it, but the
time was very difficult for her.
How do you go through los-
ing your hair when youre a 16-
year-old girl? How do you go
through not going out with your
friends as much?
The young cancer survivor told
the Weekender during a recent
phone call she had to go through
cycles of chemotherapy and
radiation for eight months. She
said that although she was very
lucky, she saw that not all chil-
dren faired so well.
It was a very hard experience,
but a humbling one because I
met a lot of people who arent
still here today, she shared.
Considered cancer-free today,
Leggieri still has yearly checkups
to ensure the cancer has not
returned. She credits the Leuke-
mia and Lymphoma Society with
helping her to understand, at a
young age, what she was going
through while she was battling
Hodgkins lymphoma. She said
she knew once she graduated
from college that she wanted to
do something to give back to the
organization.
Although it was a situation
that no one wants to go through,
it made me appreciate a lot more
things. It made me appreciate the
fact that so many people have to
go through such a harder time
than I had to, and thats what led
me into being able to work with
the Leukemia and Lymphoma
Society.
The society has a walk each
year to help raise funds for its
research and to bring help and
hope to those battling blood
cancers. Held locally in Nay Aug
Park in Scranton, participants
carry illuminated balloons of
different colors representing
survivors, supporters and those
lost to cancer.
After Leggieri learned about
the fundraiser, the next step was
raising money to support her
walk. She got to work putting
together Shoot for the Stars, a
pong tournament intended to do
more than just get you and your
buddies really drunk.
I instantly thought of beer
pong because I knew it was
something that could help me
raise the funds I needed for the
walk, and I was excited to be able
to host an event instead of just
going around asking for dona-
tions.
She turned to friend, Eric Knox
of NEPA Pong for help while
putting together last years event.
NEPA Pong is a local league of
All American Beer Pong that
holds pong tournaments in area
bars every week for cash prizes.
I knew they were local and
would help, she explained. Last
year, Eric was great, and they
helped with promoting and
brought so many people to the
event.
For its second year, Shoot For
The Stars will be held at Robs
Pub and Grub in Larksville.
Leggieri said owner, Rob Tho-
mas, was instantly on board.
He is giving free pizza, and
he donated a pitcher of beer for
each team. He was absolutely
great about it and absolutely
willing to help, she said.
Participants have a chance to
win a number of prizes including
gift cards for local businesses
and movie passes. There will also
be raffle baskets and a 50/50
along with free entertainment.
All money raised will be used
to help reach Leggieris fundrais-
ing goal for her upcoming walk,
and every cent goes directly to
the Leukemia and Lymphoma
Society.
You feel great when you
know you are doing something
for an organization where they
are showing results and survivor
stories and people are coming out
and saying, They really helped
me. W

IM SO BLUE
After hearing about it for so
long, I finally had the opportuni-
ty to dine at Martys Blue Room
(100 Old Newport St., Nanti-
coke) when my mom took me
there to kick off my birthday
weekend Friday night.
Having been there many times
(without me, mind you), Mom
suggested not getting an appetiz-
er because the dinners come with
two sides, so I bypassed starters
like Martys famed jambalaya or
catfish fingers. But I did make
up for my loss by choosing farm-
raised catfish crazy (as op-
posed to grilled, pan-seared,
honey-glazed, etc), which was
blackened and served over jam-
balaya. For my side, I chose a
salad to counteract the Old Bay
fries I couldnt resist (it was my
birthday weekend, after all).
Mom went with her usual: Crazy
haddock, a salad and a side of
broccoli.
Both fish were served as four
sizeable pieces over a mound of
jambalaya, which was fantastic.
The fries could arguably be the
best Old Bay fries Ive had
golden-fried and crunchy and
dusted liberally with the salty
mix.
Just when we thought we had
no room, our affable server ran
down the list of desserts, in-
cluding a chocolate bread pud-
ding sprinkled with bacon crum-
bles. Immediately in, Mom,
however, took some coaxing,
declaring shed take just one bite,
but we both pretty much de-
voured this perfect concoction.
The bacon on the chocolate
bread pudding was incredible,
and, mixed with the creamy va-
nilla ice cream, stupendous.
I havent shut up about my
excellent experience at Martys
since and cant wait to go back.
Hint, hint.
Martys is open Tuesday-Sat-
urday from 5-10:30 p.m. For
more info, call 570.735.7028. To

GEMINI (MAY21-JUNE20)
I dreamt I was an incompetent witch last
night. My broomsputtered and lurched as I
flew. I tried to zap electronic yokes fromthe
necks of unicorns held in thrall, but my
expectantly pointed finger yielded no
spark. Attacked by the harsh, whip-wield-
ing herdmaster, I wove a spell, which fiz-
zled and withered like a dud firecracker.
This dreamhas relevance to you because,
like me, a lot of your actions have felt pow-
erless and some of themhave even back-
fired lately. Also like me, the only real
solution is to laugh heartily at yourself and
have faith things will improve.
CANCER(JUNE21-JULY22)
For someone whos so good at taking care
of other people, you sure are lousy at nur-
turing yourself sometimes. My heart goes
out to you during those trying moments of
life, when a major crisis (or two or three)
rears its ugly head. It makes me want to just
wrap my arms around you, call in sick to
work for you and stroke your head, telling
you everything is going to be OK. Because
it is. Not only are there people standing by
to help you pick up the slack (you need only
ask), but there are several strong astrologi-
cal indicators that tell me, and nowyou, that
youre going to be just fine.
LEO(JULY23-AUG. 22)
I half expect you to soar in on your
broomhandle, wicked-witch style, crash-
ing through a windowwith dramatic grace.
Hurling fireballs and curses, you ought to
find yourself the worshipped object of
dozens of observers. See, darkness is in.
And while your brand of tireless goodness
and honesty has its advocates (including
myself), Iminvested in keeping your tribe
at peak effectiveness which means up-
dating your methods. These days, youre
bound to accomplish a lot more through
creative mischief and inspired cynicism
than through innocent goodwill. Imnot
expecting you to advocate real evil (as if
you would), but brandishing the delightful
kind of pretend evil we all revel in every
Halloween will do wonders to help your
image and your impact, too.
VIRGO(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Theres lots of math in nature. Just look at
pine cones, seashells, even patterns in the
sand made by changing tides. Its human
constructions that are fraught with chaos,
despite their rigid attempts at order and
control. Living in a city makes it obvious
despite all the straight lines, right angles
and flat surfaces, its actually a very dis-
ordered place. Lately your head has seemed
a little too much like a skyscraper and not
enough like a tree. Instead of forcing
thoughts to spike toward the sky like a spear
or a missile, can you allowthemto grow
gracefully toward it, making an allowance
for some of the forces that surround you?
LIBRA(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
The Bibles not the only place that men-
tions the Great Flood. Many stories world-
wide tell of this mythic calamity. According
to NewAge folklore, the continents of the
fabled ancient civilizations, Atlantis and
Lemuria, didnt sink they were sub-
merged by the Flood and all evidence of
their existence was erased by the incredible
power of 40 days and nights of rain. The
bad news: Youre in the middle of your own
Great Flood. The good news: The continent
of your greatest weakness is being covered
so entirely that by the time the sun cracks
the clouds on the 41st day, all memory of its
actuality will be completely washed away.
SCORPIO(OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
You old blowhard! No, I mean that in the
best way youre practically a force of
nature this week. In fact, you have so much
primitive, elemental power at your disposal
you might have trouble deciding what form
to take. Wonder Twin powers, activate!
Your energy could take a focused shape,
like a time-eating, villain-pursuing alliga-
tor, or a bolt of righteous lightning. Or, you
could choose a more general form, like a
hurricane or a life-giving desert rain. As an
earthquake, youd measure at least 6.9 on
the Richter scale. Nowthat youve been
declared a temporary deity, what shape will
your life-changing whimsies take? I guess
it depends on who youd like to worship
you.
SAGITTARIUS(NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Its all going to be OK. Ive noticed that
as long as you hear this periodically, things
really are OK. It doesnt matter if the senti-
ment is sincere. Its true as soon as you
decide it is. Thats why Imthrilled to share
with you the truth about your current sit-
uation: Youre exactly where youre sup-
posed to be. Youre also way cooler than
you think you are, even when you act dorky
or do stupid shit. Whenever you next run
face-first into a glass door, knowthis its
just practice for the skill thatll serve you
best in the months to come: Laughing at
yourself.
CAPRICORN(DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
Youve spent years living in your head,
Cap. Sometimes I think youre happier
there. But theres a vast audience clamoring
for you to make an appearance. Emerge
frombackstage, if only for a cameo. The
standing ovation I expect youll receive
should whet your taste for applause. Youre
always putting off your brilliance for the
right moment. I hate to destroy this cher-
ished illusion, but for most of us, the right
moment is whenever we create it. Youll
have an easier time creating your first tenta-
tive openings to display your dreamy genius
this week than you ever have before. Shine!
AQUARIUS(JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Most of the Aquarians I knowbelieve in
ghosts. Fairies, witches and monsters under
the bed are no big stretch for members of
your clan, either. Youre used to dwelling in
the realmof the possible, the land of hope
and dread. Rationality and hard science are
your uneasy allies at best and sworn foes at
worst this week. I encourage you dont
doubt yourself. You knowwhat you know,
and you nowhave the power to make it real.
The realmof the possible has just expand-
ed; it nowincludes anything and everything
you set your mind to.
PISCES(FEB. 19-MARCH20)
Every energy-conversion systemin-
volves some waste or loss of energy. Its a
lawof physics. But youre incredibly effec-
tive at converting thought into action this
week. Three trips to the gymwill practical-
ly have you lifting cars, an hour on the
Internet will enable you to effortlessly
recite hilarious filth for the amusement of
all your companions, and a visit to the
church of your choice may almost be
grounds for canonization. The only things,
in fact, that dont seemto be operating at
superhuman levels are your decision-mak-
ing skills. Cut out the equivocation and just
make up your mind already.
ARIES(MARCH21-APRIL19)
I admire your strength. Its almost a
shame to tell you that the world youre
hefting around on your eminently capable
shoulders has an orbit of its own and
doesnt actually need carrying. Thats right,
this huge burden thats been exhausting you
and slowing your steps to a weary stagger
isnt actually yours. It doesnt even belong
to someone else its the kind of weight
you can just let go of. So what are you
waiting for? Just drop the thing, and get the
hell out of the way. Then go get ice creamor
something. You deserve it.
TAURUS(APRIL20-MAY20)
Even Bulls who must slave like Cinderel-
las never give up hope of fairy godmothers,
rich, generous uncles, winning lottery
tickets or other magical reversals of for-
tune. Its human nature to wish for unlikely
windfalls, even though you cynically know
theyre highly unlikely. The bad news is
youre not due for another surprise inher-
itance or karma-free miracle for at least
another two or three months. The good
news is youre nowuniquely empowered to
grant your own wishes, be your own fairy
godmother and ignore all rules or limita-
tions regarding your assets turning into
pumpkins at midnight. W

Tips
By Janelle Engle
Special to the Weekender
from a
barbie chick
W
hen I was approached to
walk in the RAW Phila-
delphia talent/fashion
show for stylist Safia Khan
alongside a number of other fresh
new designers, I was equal parts
thrilled and intimidated. Al-
though Ive been modeling for a
good while now, I had yet to ever
be in a runway show. Getting
runway experience is like getting
your first after school job
everybody wants you to have
experience, but nobody wants to
be the first to give it to you.
Every cliche you hear about
behind the scenes of a runway
show is absolutely true. Theres
the stereotypical man in charge,
better dressed and more frazzled
than everybody else yelling at
models, photographers and de-
signers alike making sure every-
thing is in place. Buzzing, nerv-
ous designers (or, in my case,
stylist) who fly from model to
model making sure everything
fits perfect. All the while, press
and interviews are being held in
every inch of free space and all
around the rest of the room,
theres bored models lounging
since theyve been through all
this many times before, and then
theres me, completely wide-eyed
soaking as much of the chaos in
as I possibly could.
The thing I did not realize until
I was a part of the madness is
theres a lot of waiting involved.
In fact, almost six hours worth
before the show started. Just
when I was seriously considering
a way I can nap without messing
up my carefully styled hair, its
suddenly announced we go on in
10 minutes and a ripple of excite-
ment goes through the air from
the designers and the models.
Waiting for the show to start
was nothing compared to waiting
backstage to go on. Backstage is
the equivalent of being in line to
go on a roller coaster, huge smile
on your face but a body full of
complete terror in the pit of your
stomach. I closed my eyes, tried
to shake the queasy feeling and
opened them to see a woman
with a headset motioning me that
its my time.
I dont think I ever had a big-
ger adrenaline rush than I ever
did on that runway. Its exhilarat-
ing, terrifying and amazing all in
one. I got off and immediately
wanted to go back on. Its an
addiction like no other. Ill never
forget that feeling, and I wanted
more the minute I got off. Then a
tap on my shoulder, a designer
was missing two models, and
they wanted me to walk again! I
couldnt say yes fast enough and
was off for a change of clothes
and a quick touch-up on makeup
before hitting the runway a sec-
ond time. This time for Totem
Sun, a clothing company that
makes feel-good designs on
hoodies and T-shirts.
The experience in a runway
show has me even more in love
with fashion that I ever was.
Whether its modeling, styling or
designing, I hope everybody in
love with fashion gets to experi-
ence behind the scenes of a fash-
ion show, seeing all the hidden
craziness makes the final rhythm
of the actual show look even
more breathtaking. W
Walking
the walk
Janelle got her first taste
of the runway ...
... and is ready for her
second.
