Letter from the editor
Next Wednesday, Aug. 10,
Bob Dylan returns to Toyota
Pavilion at Montage Mountain
for the first time since 2003. I
know that the 70-year-old poet
laureate of rock n roll is an
acquired taste for some, but for
me, Ive been enchanted by the
man for years, and count the
three shows of his Ive attend-
ed among the best concerts
Ive seen.
My fascination started when
my mother proudly relayed the
story that she not only met but
sat with the man himself in
1968 at a music club called
The Cellar Door in the Ge-
orgetown section of Washing-
ton, D.C., where she lived
while working for the FBI.
Dylan sat with Mom (who was
drinking a Budweiser, by the
way), and her friends for a bit
before moving along to the
next table.
Its stories like this that show
that Dylan, an artist who rarely
grants interviews or photo
passes to his shows, might not
have always been so elusive,
but isnt that mysticism part of
his charm? That and the count-
less prolific songs hes written,
the decades hes been touring
nonstop and the fact that hes
Bob Dylan, of course.
When I think about Bob
Dylan, I think about the mys-
tery and the history, said Dave
Niedbalski, marketing director
for Toyota Pavilion. Theres
unique charms to that.
Niedbalski has seen Dylan
roughly 30 times, both profes-
sionally and personally.
Seeing Bob Dylan is like
crossing another thing off your
bucket list, I mean, for me it
is, he said. You never know
when its going to be the last
time youll see him.
Maybe not just because of
his age, but maybe because
hes Bob Dylan, and one day,
he just might hang up his hat
and call it a day on his
terms. Because he can.
Tickets for Bob Dylan and
His Band and opener Leon
Russell are $40-$95.90 via the
box office and Ticketmaster.

usic was a constant as Jon
Farriss grewup. In his
room, he had a drumkit
that he taught himself howto play,
and both his older brothers prac-
ticed their own instruments in
their rooms. The Australian
brothers were even in three sep-
arate bands.
We never thought to play
together, Farriss recalled, laugh-
ing. Are you kidding? I wouldnt
want to play with him, hes my
brother!
Turns out that not only would
the three eventually end up in the
same band, but it would be one
theyre still in more than 30 years
later. The name of that band?
INXS.
Fronted by mercurial vocalist
Michael Hutchence, who com-
mitted suicide in1997, INXS was
and still remains a radio
constant thanks to infectious hits
like What You Need, Never
Tear Us Apart and Need You
Tonight. Following the 2005
CBS competition Rock Star:
INXS, on which founding mem-
bers Farriss, his brothers Andrew
and Tim, Kirk Pengilly and Garry
Gary Beers chose J.D. Fortune to
be their newsinger, the band went
on to release Switch later that
year.
Fast forward to 2011, two years
after it first went into the studio,
and INXS released Original
Sin, a revamping of some of its
biggest songs and deeper tracks
with various singers. Fortune is
part of The Original Sin Tour,
which stops at Mohegan Sun at
Pocono Downs Sunday, Aug. 7,
and sings The Stairs on the
album. With the guest singers and
the fact that hes not included in
the current band photo, Fortunes
exact place in INXS comes into
question.
We look at J.D. as our little
brother, Farriss replied. The
five remaining INXS members
will always be the core band, but
weve obviously invited J.D. to
participate and be involved with
us as long as he wants to.
The idea for Original Sin
came about following years of
INXS material being remixed by
the likes of Paul Oakenfold, Nor-
man Cook/Fatboy Slimand oth-
ers.
It all began as why dont we do
our own kind of cover albumof
our stuff, where were able to
spread our wings and enjoy being
in the company of some really
awesome singers, Farriss said
fromhis Toronto hotel room.
Were in an unusual position
because we can, so it was kind of
guilt-free. Its really reinvigorated
the band; in a way, its kind of
released a tie that was so anchored
to that material.
Farriss was quick to point out
that the albumisnt competing
against or improving what the
Hutchence-era versions were.
It was simply just a celebration
that we could do that, he stated.
Other singers on the album
include Trains Pat Monahan on
Beautiful Girl, Ben Harper on
Never Tear Us Apart and Rob
Thomas and Yaleidy on the title
track.
I love the newversion, Farriss
said of that song. Its kind of a
kick-your-chair-back, get-on-the-
table, kick-the-dinner-plate-off,
and lets-do-it (song)!
It wasnt as hard for Farriss to
see the old songs get newarrange-
ments as it was for his brother,
Andrew, who was their principal
songwriter with Hutchence.
It was hard for himto kind of
see his hot rod be disassembled in
the garage with all the parts laying
on the floor, Farriss, one of the
albums producers, shared.
When the musicians started
jamming in the studio, it took a
week or two for themto get away
fromthe songs original sounds.
Id have to say, No, no guys, I
want to be able to play this to
people and have themget halfway
through the song, and go, Oh my
God, its that song, not like, Oh,
its just a little bit different,
Farriss explained. W

BURNLEY WONT CONFIRM
NOR DENY BREAKING BEN
SPLIT
Breaking Benjamin might be
breaking up. Or, maybe not. The
multi-platinum Wilkes-Barre
based band is, according to
published reports, involved in an
internal feud over material set to
be included on its upcoming
greatest hits CD. The dispute is
now in court and comes amid
speculation that vocalist and
principal songwriter Ben Burn-
ley has fired bassist Mark
James and guitarist Aaron Fink
and that the group has disband-
ed.
The new greatest hits album,
scheduled for release on Aug.
16, is set to include a new remix
of the song Blow Me Away.
Court documents filed by Burn-
ley suggest James and Fink
approved the use of the new
version of the song without his
consent. James and Fink, in a
separate court filing, deny the
claim.
On Tuesday, in a brief con-
versation with the Weekender
and The Times Leader, Burn-
ley wouldnt discuss the legal
actions nor confirm or deny that
Breaking Benjamin was break-
ing up. A call to Fink was not
returned.
Unfortunately, at this time, I
cant comment on anything,
said Burnley. Not confirming
or denying. No comment
EQUINE ALTRUISM
As a reaction to the recent
barn fire at Over the Hill Farm
(445 Carbondale Road, Wa-
verly), that claimed the lives of
23 horses and left only six
equine survivors some of
whom are badly burned an
account has been set up for
donations to assist with the
veterinarian bills and those who
lost their jobs and homes.
Information for donating is:
Over the Hill Fire Fund, First
National Bank, c/o Crystal
Tompkins, 125 N. State Street,
Clarks Summit PA 18411.

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
TING TANG WALLA
WALLA, BING BANG
A More Reputable Career:
Thomas Heathfield was a well-
paid banking consultant with a
promising career in Maidenhead,
England, but gave it up this year
to move to South Africa and
endure rigorous training as a
sangoma (witch doctor).
After five months of studying
siSwati language, sleeping in the
bush, hunting for animal parts,
vomiting up goats blood and
learning native dances, Heath-
field, 32, was given a new name,
Gogo Mndawe, and is now qual-
ified to read bones and prescribe
herbal cures (among the skills
expected of sangomas by the
roughly 50 percent of South
Africas population that reveres
them). He admitted concern
about his acceptance as a white
man calling out African spirits,
but when (the people) see (me)
dance, perhaps those questions
go away.
SNAKES ON A TRAIN!
-- A clumsy smuggler (who
managed to get away) failed to
contain the dozens of king cobras
and other snakes he was trans-
porting from Ho Chi Minh City
in Vietnam to Hanoi (probably to
be sold illegally to restaurants).
After panic broke out on the train
and police were called, the
snakes were collected and turned
over to a sanctuary. (Upscale
restaurants can charge as much
as the equivalent of $500 for a
meal of king cobra, beginning
with the selection of the snake,
and having it killed at tableside
on to a serving of a snakes-blood
appetizer. In one survey, 84 per-
cent of Hanois restaurants were
serving illegal wild animals of
some sort, including weasel,
monitor lizard and porcupine.)
QUESTIONABLE
JUDGMENTS
-- The elegant, expansive,
gleaming new glass-and-concrete
indoor stairway at the Common
Pleas Courthouse in Columbus,
Ohio, opened recently, to mostly
rave reviews for its sense of
space and light, creating the
feeling of walking suspended on
air. However, as Judge Julie
Lynch and other women soon
discovered, the glass partitions at
each step make it easy for per-
verts to gawk from underneath at
dress-wearing women using the
stairs. (Y)oure on notice,
Judge Lynch warned her sister
dress-wearers, that you might
want to take the elevator.
-- Pablo Borgen has apparently
been living without neighbors
complaints in Lakeland, Fla.,
despite general knowledge that
he is, according to sheriffs offi-
cials, one of the areas major
heroin traffickers, bringing in
tens of thousands of dollars a
month. Following a drug sting in
June, however, neighbors discov-
ered another fact about Borgen:
That he and some of his gang
were each drawing $900 a month
in food stamps. Formerly indif-
ferent neighbors were outraged
by Borgens abuse of benefits,
according to WTSP-TV. Hang
him by his toes, said one. Ive
been out of work since February
(2008). I lived for a year on noth-
ing but ... food stamps.
-- Roy Miracle, 80, of Newark,
Ohio, passed away in July, and
his family honored him and his
years of service as a prankster
and superfan of the Ohio State
Buckeyes with a commemorative
photo of three of Miracles fellow
obsessives making contorted-
body representations of O, H
and O for their traditional
visual cheer. In the photo, Mira-
cle assumed his usual position as
the I or, rather, his corpse
did. (Despite some criticism,
most family and friends thought
Miracle was properly honored.)
CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH
Its good to be an Arizona
State University student, where
those 21 and older can earn $60 a
night by getting drunk. Psycholo-
gy professor Will Corbin, oper-
ating with National Institute on
Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism
grants, conducts studies of drunk
students memories, response
times and decision-making proc-
esses through extensive question-
ing after he has raised their
blood-alcohol level to precisely
0.08 percent (which Arizona
regards as presumed-impaired for
drivers). Students are served one
type of vodka cocktail, three
drinks worth, in a bar-like room
on campus, and after 15 minutes
to let the alcohol be absorbed, the
questioning and testing begin.
(At the end of the night, taxis are
called for the students.)
A NEWS OF THE WEIRD
CLASSIC
(FEBRUARY 2000)
Two undercover policewomen
running a prostitution sting in
Dothan, Ala., in October (1999)
declined to arrest a pickup-truck-
driving john, around age 70,
despite his three attempts to
procure their services. He first
offered the women the three
squirrels he had just shot, but
they ignored him (too much
trouble to log in and store the
evidence). A few minutes later,
he sweetened the offer with the
used refrigerator in the back of
his truck, but the officers again
declined (same reason). On the
third trip, he finally offered cash:
$6 (but no squirrels or refriger-
ator). The officers again de-
clined. They later said they had
resolved to arrest him if he re-
turned, but he did not. W

The Talented Mr. Zhou: Zhou Xin, 68,
failed to get a callback from the judges
for the Chinas Got Talent TV reality
show in June, according to a CNN report
(after judge Annie Yi screamed in horror
at his act). Zhou is a practitioner of one
of the 72 Shaolin skills, namely iron
crotch gong, and for his talent, he
stoically whacked himself in the testicles
with a weight and then with a hammer.

Beauty and the brains
The many facets of The Change-Up and
Cowboys & Aliens actress Olivia Wilde
O
livia Wilde might not
be a household name.
But give her time. By
Thanksgiving, she will
have starred in three of this years
most-anticipated movies.
Youre going to be so sick
of me, she says with a laugh. I
realize Ive won some sort of life
lottery. I am an incredibly lucky
person.
Dubbed Hollywoods go-
to-babe-with-a-brain by
Entertainment Weekly, Wilde
will pop up this October in a
supporting role alongside Justin
Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried
in the futuristic thriller In Time.
Before then, shes starring in
a pair of lms which are now
playing in theaters: The body-
swap comedy The Change-Up
and the sci- western Cowboys
&Aliens.
Its really kind of a luxury for
an actor to have the opportunity
to play such different types of
characters, all in one year, she
says. For The Change-Up,
(director) David Dobkin hadnt
seen me do anything like this
character, but he had a sense that I
could do it.
So I felt really grateful to
have had that chance. And it was
a surprise. It was one of those
opportunities that you dont see
coming and changes your life
in a certain way. And the same
thing happened with Cowboys &
Aliens. So at this point, I dont
know whats going to happen next
week because everything seems
to be changing so quickly. I just
count my blessings and continue
working really hard.
Directed by Iron Mans Jon
Favreau, Cowboys &Aliens
is a genre mash-up that blends
together elements of Indiana
Jones, Men In Black and
The Searchers. Daniel Craig,
Harrison Ford and Wilde play
reluctant saddle mates in 1870s
Arizona who team up to ght
aliens after a spaceship crash
lands in their Western town.
The Change-Up stars Ryan
Reynolds as a womanizing cad
and Jason Bateman as his married
pal. Envious of each others lives,
they wind up switching bodies
after a night of drinking. Wilde
complicates matters as Batemans
sexy legal associate, Sabrina.
I love that people dont
actually understand how its me
in both movies, says the actress
best known for playing bisexual
internist Thirteen on House
M.D. I look so different and act
so different in each one, and thats
obviously the goal for an actor.
As anyone whos seen Big
and Freaky Friday knows,
Hollywood loves family-friendly
body-swapping comedies. What
sets The Change-Up apart is
that its rated R.
Directed by Wedding Singer
helmer Dobkin and written
by Hangover scripters Jon
Lucas and Scott Moore, the lm
overows with bed-hopping
hijinks and alcohol-fueled
shenanigans.
Its very hard to shock me,
but when I read the script I found
myself kind of gasping in shock,
and really excited at the same
time, says Wilde. I also very
rarely laugh out loud at scripts,
and I was just howling. Its so
well-written And David loves
to push the boundaries.
He knew that wed be pulling
no punches on this movie. He
knew we were making this a
hard R. And as far as we were
willing to go was as far as we
were going to push it. Wed often
keep the cameras rolling (at the
end of a scene) and just see what
happened. And thats where a lot
of great moments were born.
NO GIRLLEFT
BEHIND

The Change Up is primarily

a no-holds-barred comedy,
but Wilde appreciated the
underlying message about the
importance of always having
balance in your life.
Ryan and Jason nd
themselves, at the beginning of
the story, on opposite sides of a
pretty extreme spectrum, she
says. And theyre envious of
each other. Throughout the movie,
they keep thinking the grass is
greener. But then they have these
insanely outrageous experiences.
And they end up learning to have
a bit of both fun and responsibility
in their lives.
Of all the characters, Wildes
Sabrina has the crazy/sane ratio
gured out right from the get-go.
The actress admits she relished
doing a slow reveal of Sabrina.
Initially, the character seems
uptight, but over the course of
a date with Reynolds (by then
possessed by Bateman), Sabrina
exposes her inner wildcat.
If you assume that shes
this more conservative lawyer
on top of her game at work, you
dont expect her to sit down
on the date and order Scotch
and suggest getting a tattoo,
says Wilde. So I liked kind of
surprising the audience in that
way. If she was too wild and
sassy from the beginning, shes
not really a surprise, and its not
as satisfying.
Wilde was determined to be
as much involved in the funny
business as her male counterparts.
She credits Dobkin with
encouraging her to banter with the
boys.
I knew by watching Wedding
Crashers and seeing what David
had done with Isla Fishers
character that he respected and
encouraged funny women, she
says.
Thats another reason I
wanted to do the movie: I knew
this was an opportunity to play in
a really good environment with
smart people I really wanted
to make Sabrina smarter, tougher,
and funnier. And the guys were
very supportive of that.
Anative New
Yorker, Wilde grew
up surrounded
by smart
people. Her
mother, Leslie
Cockburn, is a
60 Minutes
producer.
Her father
Andrew
Cockburn is
a journalist,
as are her
uncles and
grandfather.
But
Wilde hasnt
wanted to be
anything but an actress ever since
she was two years old. After
paying her dues on TV shows
like The O.C. and The Black
Donnellys, Wilde netted a meaty
role on House as a physician
struggling with Huntingtons
disease.
Over the course of the past
few years, Wilde has worked
in movies as varied as the low-
budget indie Fix opposite
her soon-to-be-ex-husband Tao
Ruspoli, the caveman comedy
Year One and the computer
thriller Tron: Legacy as well
as the upcoming The Words
with Bradley Cooper, Butter
with Hugh Jackman, Welcome
To People with Elizabeth
Banks and Blackbird
with Eric Bana.
The really
amazing thing about
acting is that I get
to experience all
different kinds of
lives, says Wilde.

been a doctor,
a cowgirl and
a computer
program. Its
been amazing.

eing a rock star in a down
economy isnt as easy as it
sounds. Sure you have
fame and frantic fans chanting
your name every time you hit the
stage, but you also have dozens
of people who are pushing to
make money from your music,
which can lead to some intense
battles in and outside the studio.
The members of rock band 10

the industry wolves biting at
their toes when deciding what
type of music they should be

ment to the struggles they face in
trying to release songs they be-
lieve in opposed to what the
industry says will make money.
This album was such a re-
lease of frustration with the in-
dustry in general, industry people
as wolves who prey on musi-
cians, said guitarist and drum-
mer Brian Vodinh. Everyone
has a piece of you, and everyone
wants to make as much as they
can so when you want to be
creative, its hard with them
breathing down your neck. We
dont want to be part of a fad
we want to keep creating music
like we always have.
Since releasing Feeding the
Wolves in 2010, 10 Years has
focused on touring and sharing
its new music with fans. The
band will make a stop in North-
eastern Pa. Tuesday, Aug. 9 at
Eleanor Rigbys in Jermyn.
Before we go on tour, we
dont even rehearse or anything
most bands think were crazy,
but weve always done that,
Vodinh explained. For this tour,
we redesigned our light and stage
show Its a lot moodier and
darker, the light show caters to
that vibe. The tours been really
cool and different for the fans.
Performing at a venue like
Eleanor Rigbys is a welcome
treat for the band. Its members
prefer cozier locations, which
allow them to better connect with
fans.
Our show translates so much
better in a smaller environment,
Vodinh said. Big arenas are so
cool and fun; its a kids dream,
but you lose the intimacy. Were
always going to be a band that
thrives on an intimate environ-
ment.
Adding to that feeling, 10
Years has chosen the areas own
Graces Downfall as one of its
opening acts.
We try to do as much as we
can to bring in locals, Vodinh
said. We came from that type of
thing where we would always try
to get the opening spot on a
national tour. We always try to
make sure we get a good opening
band because they might not get
another opportunity to do so. W

emember those embar-
rassingly poorly produced
after-school specials?
How about those Choose Your
Own Adventure books that
almost always ended far too
soon? These treasures and
many, many more can be found
within the pages of, Whatever
Happened to Pudding Pops?
The Lost Toys, Tastes & Trends
of the 70s & 80s, that will
leave even the most unsenti-
mental heart weeping for the
days when the only real thing
to worry about was Hugo, Man
of A Thousand Faces coming to
life and eating you in your
sleep.
Chosen as an Amazon Edi-
tors Pick for the month of
June, the book by Gael Fash-
ingbauer Cooper and Brian
Bellmont is an alphabetical
compilation of all of the things
that molded the youth of the
70s and 80s into the adults
they are today for better or
for worse. Each entry is accom-
panied by an X-tinction rating
that documents the item or
trends resilience, a note of
what it may have been replaced
by and a fun fact (when appli-
cable).
With entries like John
Hughes Movies, Judy Blume
Books, Loves Baby Soft and
Pen Pals, its hard not to go
into a state of nostalgic eu-
phoria while reading Whatever
Happened to Pudding Pops?
The authors run a commentary
that reads like a print version of
I Love the 80s, either loving-
ly recalling something or openly
mocking it. And though there
might be a few items that you
dont recognize, there is more
than enough content to guaran-
tee that something in this book
is going to get a reaction from
every single reader.
While it might have been
more effective to arrange the
passages by category, the fact
that theyre short, snappy blurbs
colored with wry wittiness
makes up for any deficit in
organization. Plus, it would
probably be hard to classify a
piece like Decor Mistakes.
The biggest downside? Pho-
tos arent included with every
entry, so trying to recall exactly
what Jems garish makeup
looked like or who, exactly,
graced the front of the box of
Freakies cereal requires the
immediate assistance of some
kind of search engine or pho-
tographic memory.
As a whole, Whatever Hap-
pened to Pudding Pops? is
more than just a novelty that
will wear off after one or two
glances through. It encompasses
all of the things that made
Generation X what it is, and
itll sit on the shelf like a VHS
home movie: You dont really
need to actually see it all the
time, but its nice to know its
there when you need a good
laugh.

tech talk
By Nick Delorenzo
Special to the Weekender
I
ts nearly that time again.
My current work laptop,
a Dell Studio, has been a
reliable standby for nearly
three years. Its still speedy,
its got just about every bell
and whistle I can ask for,
and I dont see myself get-
ting rid of it anytime soon.
But time has taken its toll.
The battery is, in a word,
shot. The case has a tiny
chunk missing, the result of
being dropped. It was, per-
haps miraculously, otherwise
unharmed.
One of the keys has
cracked in half, no doubt
from my energetic typing
technique. The plastic on
one of the mouse buttons is
worn.
All of these are more or
less cosmetic details.
But as far as it goes,
when the first thing that
anyone says when they walk
into your office is You
need a new computer, its
time for an upgrade.
I dont usually buy a com-
puter at a computer store.
These days, you usually get
more options buying from a
website, which is what I did
with my last machine. But a
few weeks ago at Best Buy,
I noticed a laptop that was
particularly striking.
It was an Asus U53JC, as
I would come to find out.
The attraction was, at first,
only skin deep. The thing
that separates this laptop
from most others on the
market is, without a doubt,
the finish. This one was
clad in a rich, dark bamboo
shell with brushed aluminum
trim.
In short, it had presence.
And the specs are nothing
to scoff at: 4 Gigs of RAM,
15.6 inch monitor, Nvidia
GeForce 310M video card
with 1 Gig of RAM, a 640
GB hard drive, DVD burner,
2 megapixel webcam, an
impressive 10.5 hours of
battery life and Altec Lans-
ing speakers, all driven by
an Intel Core i5 Processor
with up to 3.33 GHz speed.
Depending on the specs
youre looking at, this lap-
top, with the 15-inch mon-
itor, will come in at about
$1,000, a reasonable price,
given the specs.
If style and power in com-
bination are what youre
after, I recommend this lap-
top. It looks good just about
anywhere. W

Sheryl Dutter of Shavertown with actor Vin Diesel
at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas
May 22.
SCRANTON It goes with-
out saying that a Motley Crue
show is sure to be an explosive,
expletive-laden rollercoaster ride.
But add 30 years of debauchery,
more than 80 million albums
sold, an hour and a half of its
biggest songs and an actual rol-
lercoaster, it makes for one hell
of a night indeed.
Without any lead in, Motley
Crue singer Vince Neil, drum-
mer Tommy Lee, bassist Nikki
Sixx and guitarist Mick Mars
ignited its set Sunday night at the
Toyota Pavilion at Montage
Mountain with Wild Side.
Despite two scantily clad backup
singers, Lees drum rollercoaster
was the stages focal point, but
well get to that. The title track
from the latest Crue album,
2008s Saints of Los Angeles,
followed, and strobe lights led
into an aggressive version of
Live Wire.
Hellish graphics accompanied
a sinister rendition of Shout At
The Devil, while Neil finally
greeted the frenetic crowd prior
to Same Ol Situation, which
also featured a great Mars solo.
Lee came down from the drum
kit to man the piano for show
highlight, Home Sweet Home.
Thanks for making us feel
right at home, he said amid
deafening cheers.
Dont Go Away Mad (Just Go
Away) preceded Lees drum
solo, during which he played
upside down on his coaster, be-
fore pulling a fan from the crowd
to go along for the ride. A too-
quick Mars solo followed, which
bled into Looks That Kill. The
title track to 1989s Dr. Feel-
good was an easy standout that
ended with a fantastic flourish
while fan photos from Sundays
show, which they were prompted
to take during breaks between the
opening acts, appeared on the big
screen during Too Young To
Fall In Love.

Smokin In The Boys Room
and Kickstart My Heart closed
Motley Crues set quite the way it
started, explosively. But it must
be noted that Neil, though look-
ing better than he has in years, is
really the bands weakest link as
he is unable to deliver the lyrics
for an entire song, relying on the
audience when hes not skipping
words. His bandmates, however,
kicked ass, especially Mars.
Fan-chosen openers New York
Dolls and Poison started the
evening with their own high-
energy performances; the for-
mers set included punky rendi-
tions of Pills, Trash and
Personality Crisis. Poisons
hour-long slot began with singer
Bret Michaels rising up from
behind Rikki Rocketts drum kit
for opening staple, Look What
The Cat Dragged In. Ride The
Wind, from1990s Flesh &
Blood, was an early highlight.
Were fired up to be here on
our 25th anniversary. Were ready
to party! Michaels said before
the Grand Funk Railroad cover,
Were An American Band.
A bluesy C.C. DeVille guitar
solo led into Fallen Angel,
which preceded a lively version
of Unskinny Bop. Before deliv-
ering the smash Every Rose Has
Its Thorn, Michaels thanked the
crowd for their well wishes as he
recovered from his 2010 brain
hemorrhage.
After whipping the fans into a
frenzy, Poison ended its set with
Talk Dirty To Me and Nothin
But A Good Time. Though
some fans may have been dis-
appointed with just a nine-song
set thanks to the guitar and drum
solos, Poison gave fans the good
time they expected from this
25-year-old quartet. W

movie review
W
atching Glenn Ficarra
and John Requas Cra-
zy, Stupid, Love. is like
witnessing a terrible accident and
being unable to help. For about
two hours, we squirm as a talent-
ed cast sinks deeper into sitcom-
ish misunderstandings and life-
affirming speeches disguised as
dialogue. There are no survivors.
Steve Carell and Julianne
Moore play Cal and Emily Weav-
er, high school sweethearts turn-
ed longtime married couple. Now
in their 40s, things have grown
stale. Hes become immune to
the boredom; Emily not so much.
As they prepare to order dessert,
she requests a divorce. On the
drive home from the restaurant,
Emily admits to having an affair
with a coworker. Cal responds by
exiting the car as its moving.
Sweet and meek, Cal moves
out and settles into the sad car-
icature of middle-aged single
life, which includes a nightly
visit to the local bar to bitch and
moan about his plight. Cals
vocal self-loathing draws the
attention of the establishments
lothario, Jacob (Ryan Gosling).
The young man takes pity on
Cal, remaking him in his sharply
dressed, bed-hopping image. It
works, only Cal still considers
Emily his soulmate, and no
amount of nighttime frolicking
with nubile playthings can con-
vince him otherwise. Emily
misses Cal, but cant get over his
new lifestyle, an odd stance for
an admitted adulterer.
This is where the movie begins
its steep, fatal decline. Cals
forgiveness and Emilys galling
hypocrisy cant be overlooked
just because theyre made for
each other. But thats exactly
what writer Dan Fogelman
(Fred Claus, Cars 2) be-
lieves. He doesnt illuminate Cal
and Emilys history together, and
he certainly doesnt reveal how
hard it is to sustain a lengthy
marriage. Instead, love will save
the day for all!
Jacob falls for an attractive
aspiring lawyer (Emma Stone)
who cuts through his lady-killer
faade. We must also endure a
profoundly stupid series of
scenes involving Cal and Emilys
eighth-grade son (Jonah Bobo)
and his babysitter (Analeigh
Tipton), starting with her walking
in on him as he masturbates.
Theres more. Kevin Bacon looks
lost as Emilys office paramour.
Marisa Tomei, in a scorned-
women-are-crazy role more fit
for Jerry Springer, embarrasses
herself as Cals first conquest.
Snoozy crooner Josh Groban
shows up as Stones human
valium boyfriend. He fares best.
Thats not good.
Crazy, Stupid, Loves. isnt-
misery-romantic? move defies
logic, and paints Cal and Emily
as soulless pawns, easily answer-
ed questions. The couples prob-
lems get buried underneath a pile
of pat explanations Emily
wants a divorce because we
havent been us for a long time
and distractions: Obnoxiously
wise 13 year olds, Goslings
sculpted abs, and a cast the size
of a small town. The last 20
minutes offer everything but
Tomei going topless, including a
backyard fight involving at least
four coincidences so remote that
the whole scene could only occur
in a fever dream. Afterward, we
have to stomach a graduation
ceremony that serves as a show-
case on how love conquers all.
And offends our intelligence.
Problems in a relationship dont
get solved with crazy, stupid
gestures, but by long talks and
hard truths. It takes effort, and
even then the union may not be
saved. Crazy, Stupid, Love. just
wants the good stuff. Love
doesnt work that way. Neither
does anything else in this lazy,
condescending movie that turns
the term crowd pleaser into an
expletive.

efore the summer
comes to a close, kids
return to school and
college students head back
to campus. To give the heat-
ed season a rightful ending,
a fruitful dose of blood, guts
and fine art will be offered
in downtown Wilkes-Barre to
milk out the last bit of sum-
mer excitement.
With a love for horror
from head artist and co-
founder of 570 Tattooing
Co., Ron 570 Russo and
his wife Geena Russo orga-
nized Art of the Dead, the
Revenge, an art show featur-
ing artwork inspired by hor-
ror and macabre themes. The
idea behind putting out an
event revolving around hor-
ror-based artwork was based
on Rons personal style; it is
the type of work that hes
most comfortable creating.
My husband tattoos hor-
ror, said Geena about the
shows background theme.
Thats his style of tattoo-
ing.
Horrific artwork created
with various media will be
exhibited at the Art of the
Dead show, which will take
place at The Mines Sunday,
Aug. 7, and is free to the
public and open to all ages.
The event will be featuring
both local artists, including
Ron Russo, and artists that
are from out of town.
With more than 300 sub-
missions for this years
event, Russo explained that
no judgment is forced upon
the artists that wish to show
at the exhibit. Instead of
implementing a jurying sys-
tem to narrow down the art-
work available, Art of the
Dead accepts all work that
people submit to the show,
and they will always put
them on display. With Art of
the Dead, word comes
around and the people flock
to gain exposure for their
violent, creepy and disturbed
artwork.
You dont have to be a
tattooer to submit, she said.
Its an open forum, we
dont recruit people. They
ask to be in the show. Its
just word of mouth.
Russos favorite artists,
who will make appearances
at Art of the Dead with their
work, include realism painter
Paul Acker, and painters Dan
Henk and Mike Chambers,
who all work with oil paints
to create various images of
bloodied scenes, zombies,
skeletons and more.
With a low-key art gallery
setting in the Wilkes-Barre
nightclub, there will also be
music provided by DJ Randy
Skilz. All of the featured
artwork will be available for
sale to the public. Similar
art show events will be
planned by 570 Tattooing
Co. each year, every August.

ralphie report
the
By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender
W
hen one of your biggest
hit records talks about
taking a bottle to the
head, its natural to assume that
your band is accustomed to par-
taking in alcoholic beverages
before, after heck, even dur-
ing performances. But Lil
Waynes I Am Still Music tour,
which came to NEPA Tuesday,
July 19, isnt your typical hip-hop
show. Due to Waynes probation,
no alcohol is allowed backstage.
The fellas from Far East
Movement are finding ways to
get by.
We just drive far away, make
sure were far away from the tour,
and do what we gotta do, said
emcee and group spokesman-by-
committee Kev Nish. The atmo-
sphere (on tour) has been real
positive. All the artists bring it
like crazy I mean, you cant
even tell the difference.
Nish, real name Kevin Nishim-
ura, initially didnt understand
where I was going with my in-
quiry on the groups on-tour
drinking habits. Once he realized,
he backtracked a little from the
before, after, during talk.
I was just kidding, Nish
joked. Water is the natural
life choice drink.
Speaking of choices, FEM also
chatted about a decision the
group made before releasing the
album, Free Wired. Bruno
Mars helped write and produce
the hit single, Rocketeer, but at
the time was not a known artist.
When the demo version of the
song leaked after Mars became a
superstar, some questioned the
need to grab OneRepublic front
man Ryan Tedder for the hook
in the first place. But Nish re-
vealed it was a joint-decision
between FEM and Mars to enlist
Tedders services.
We envisioned an alternative-
rock hook, Nish said. We were
listening to OneRepublics
Apologize, and thinking, Lets
go with Ryan.
Rocketeer flew up the charts
across the globe, cracking the
Top 10 in a number of countries.
HILSON ON WAYNE, ESTER
Keri Hilson is another of Lil
Waynes four supporting acts on
the tour. Sure, the two artists
know each other; Weezy even
had a verse on Hilsons single,
Turnin Me On. But that
doesnt mean the two are hanging
out, or even saying hello or, for
that matter, even seeing each
other.
Fifth show and I havent seen
him yet, Hilson revealed in her
dressing room two weeks ago.
We are in our own world, pre-
paring for every show, every
day.
Miss Keri Baby isnt ruling
out a collaboration yet, simply
saying it could happen.
The singer/songwriter also
paid props to another artist that
shes collaborated with: Ester
Dean. Like Hilson, Dean pens
and sings songs. Her 2009 hit
Drop It Low helped to estab-
lish the latter. Since then, Dean
has written big tracks for Rihan-
na, Nicki Minaj and Katy Per-
ry. She also wrote Hilsons next
single, Lose Control.
Listen to The Ralphie Radio
Show weeknights from 7p-12a
on 97 BHT.

lassical musicians tend to
approach music from a
different perspective than,
say, someone who learns to play
an instrument through rock or
jazz music. But when youve
grown up in a family where
youre influenced by all sides of
the genre spectrum, what does
your music end up sounding
like?
If you really want to find out,
then you should stop by the
Scranton Jazz Festival on Sat-
urday, Aug. 6 at 6 p.m. at the
Radisson Lackawanna Station
Hotel to hear Zach Brock and
The Magic Number (including
bassist Matt Wigton and drum-
mer Fred Kennedy) perform a
special brand of jazz, the sponta-
neous essence of which is diffi-
cult to capture in words.
Brock, who checked in with
the Weekender from his apart-
ment in New York City, has the
kind of passion for music that
causes his every word on the
topic to drip with fondness and
sentimentality. His mother was a
classical singer, and his father
eventually turned him onto jazz.
When asked to describe his own
sound and experience, its impos-
sible for him not to wax poetic
about the various artists from
both realms who have influenced
him since he started playing the
violin at the age of 4 years old.
Thats not to say he relies on
others to define his musical
persona; rather, he draws from
the legends to create a sound that
is uniquely his, that is always
changing and that finds its base
in improvisation. Some of his
other inspirations arent even
musical, as is demonstrated by
his early love of skateboarding, a
sport he still appreciates to this
day even though, due to injuries
sustained from a car accident, he
cant do the moves himself any-
more.
I get a lot of musical inspira-
tion from watching skateboard
videos and stuff like that, Brock
said. That might sound kind of
weird, but when I watch great
skateboarding, as an art form, I
appreciate the form and the line,
and I see that as a direct analogy
to the way that people improvise,
the spontaneity of it.
Brock and his group members
used the funding platform Kick-
starter.com to complete their new
album, The Magic Number,
that was largely influenced by his
move to New York City and was
borne out of his desire to start
playing as a leader again (as
opposed to a sideman). It also
showcases the trios unique
makeup.
Ive always been drawn to the
concept of a chordless trio; so
basically a trio of bass, drums
and whatever the melody in-
strument is (in this case, violin),
without piano or guitar, he said.
That chordless trio show-
cases vocals in an unexpected
way: Not through lyrics but
through varying harmonies. And
jazz fans can expect to hear an
eclectic style of music if they
make it to the trios live perform-
ance.
People (at the Jazz Festival)
are going to hear our arrange-
ments of standards, Brock
shared. And theyre also going
to hear a lot of original music
and a lot of improvisation. Its
going to be somewhere in be-
tween straight-ahead jazz and
classical and pop rock. W

In addition to creating great
music, for one reason or an-
other some artists also seem to
typify a state of mind. 311s
unique fusion of rock, rap and
reggae definitely does just that.
The band recently released
Universal Pulse, its tenth
studio album, and the second
produced by industry legend
Bob Rock. With just eight
songs and clocking in just shy
of 30 minutes, the album ends
almost as soon as it begins
and barely seems to qualify as
full-length. However, the flip-
side of that is that there is not
an extra note, lyric or crash of
the cymbals here only
whats needed, no more and no
less.
Starting with Time Bomb
and concluding with And A
Ways To Go, Universal
Pulse is exactly what one
would expect from 311: The
kind of music to play and
zone out to on a laidback day
or night when one doesnt
plan on doing very much at
all. While some tracks, such
as Wild Nights, Rock On
and Trouble, open up with
somewhat of a hard edge,
sooner or later they mellow
out and find a trance-like
groove to follow. Other songs,
such as Count Me In and
Sunset In July, are smooth
and laidback from the begin-
ning, and it is all but impos-
sible to not sit back and just
enjoy life while listening to
the aptly named Weightless,
which may be best track on
the album.
Universal Pulse follows
311s trademark sound note-for-
note, and for all intents and
purposes, the songs could have
been released in 1995 instead
of 2011. However, while some
critics may write off a band
for following a tried-and-true
formula with little variation on
that theme, one must also
recognize that consistency
throughout a career and being
the artist that writes an almost
inimitable type of music for
just that right moment carries
some value as well. While
Universal Pulse certainly
wont surprise anyone, that
doesnt mean that it isnt a lot
of fun to listen to.

Top 10 Local Albums at Gallery of Sound
The California-based City Of Ships
Eric Jernigan (guitar/vocals), An-
drew Jernigan (bass) and Rob Motes
(drums) released its sophomore
effort Minor World July 19 as a fol-
low up to 2009s Look What God Did
To Us. Fans of the bands previous
work will be pleasantly surprised by
what it has created this time around,
demonstrating that it has definitely
stepped up its game with an unques-
tionably evolved sound. The lyrics on
Minor World are articulate, and the
band is technical in its delivery. On
Clotilde, the band intros the album
with a passive instrumental before
launching into what ends up being an
aggressive rock song. Jernigans vocals
bounce between melodic and heavy on
most of the songs. City of Ships does a
fine job incorporating melody-driven
lyrics with much more severe traces of
metal.
In addition to creating musical highs
and lows via Jernigans vocals, the band
carries on that different dynamic in the
way it actually performs throughout the
duration of the album. On Sweet De-
lirium, Jernigans voice has an almost
distorted quality to it. The name of this
softer track speaks for itself; the song
is tranquil, yet the band maintains a
slight harshness, that actually gives this
song an overall perplexing feel.
Other standout tracks are Low
Countries and Celestial Navigation.
Despite some very slow and melodic
moments on Minor World, it demon-
strates that City of Ships is a rock
outfit through and through.

Slow and melodic
with a dose
of metal
In 2003, when Taking Back Sundays
original lineup decided to split, the
press and gossip about it made it seem
so bitter that even the most hardcore
TBS fans had long given up on the
notion of it reuniting. But guitarist John
Nolan and bassist Shaun Cooper are
back with frontman Adam Lazzara,
guitarist Eddie Reyes and drummer
Mark OConnell nine years later with a
new self-titled album.
The new record is filled with mixed
results and clearly emphasizes the
bands crafty songwriting rather than the
psychological intensity that defined this
rosters past recording, Tell All Your
Friends. The band didnt go completely
Fall Out Boy, though, and just write
slow ballads after being in (and out of)
business for about 10 years.
Best Places To Be A Mom carries
a vocal melody that is very similar to
Totos Rosanna, while on lead single
Faith (When I Let You Down), Lazza-
ra belts out lyrics about the bands
break up over an R.E.M.-ish church
organ.
Despite these melodic tunes, opening
track El Paso, starts the album with
an old-fashioned blast of quick, punk
rock. These mosh-pit flare ups are
slightly less common than a normal
TBS record, but are still some of the
best in the business.
The emo-driven band ultimately took
the harder edge of the last lineups
album, New Again, and molded it
into something it, and fans, should be
much happier with. It has some of the
sweetest rock songs anyone could ask
for, while at the same time some of the
hardest songs of TBSs career.

hat Ive learned:
I hate everybody.
With a few excep-
tions. You. Me. Im not so
sure about me. I love every-
body. At arms length. Three
categories of people will
smell need and make you
wait. Bankers. Women. Drug
dealers. Anything electronic
or mechanical will fail. At
the worst possible moment.
A meal you have cooked
yourself never tastes as good
as one cooked by someone
else. Nothing in life is as
good as ice cream. Maybe
sex is as good as ice cream.
But you can have ice cream
anytime and with anyone.
Religion is unnecessary.
Until you need something to
believe in. Usually in a hos-
pital. Graveyards serve no
purpose. They waste land
that could be golf courses.
The cemetery is full of in-
dispensable people. Golf is a
stupid game unless it is an
excuse to drink.
Daughters always call.
Anybody who says they are
not prejudiced probably is.
Judge a person by their
looks. You will always be
wrong. Anticipation trumps
realization every time. Main-
tenance is hard. Id rather be
hot than cold. No one ever
sweats to death. Its called
work for a reason. Anytime
they pay you for doing it,
its automatically work.
Overheard conversations
are interesting. Its great to
see things from other per-
spectives. I am a voyeur. I
love seeing people in the act
of being themselves, un-
aware. Spelling correctly is
a rare gift. Signs in public
often betray this.
The stages of grief and
the stages of love are identi-
cal. The order is shuffled
but they are the same.
If you are really hungry,
order soup. It comes quickly.
No matter what line you
choose, it will be the slow-
est one. Count your change.
Add up the restaurant bill.
Dont trust spellcheck. Ac-
cording to this program
spellcheck is misspelled.
The belief that the pilot
wants to live as much as
you do is erroneous. Tip
generously.
If you were to explain the
sex act to an alien race,
they would think you were
kidding. Negotiations begin
with no. The better it tastes,
the worse it is for you.
Light bulbs burn out in
threes.
The more you like the tie,
the more lunch you will get
on it. Truth will out. Alco-
hol speeds this process. Al-
cohol doesnt make liars. It
makes fools. Being on time
is a virtue. Most people are
not virtuous. Dead is too
late. Love now. Often. Tell
them so. W

sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
Weekender Correspondent
I
dont mean to name drop,
but I was almost friends
with Lance Bass. Though
Im a fan of the word almost
when its used in the wise
phrase better almost than
pregnant, Im unenthusiastic
toward it when in reference to
me becoming friends with
international pop-star sensa-
tions!
Once my second roommate
on the West Coast revealed he
was close friends with Lance
Bass, I realized this stroke of
luck was my window of op-
portunity to make it on TMZ
with a famous pal.
You should come out with
us, my roommate offered one
night. Were going out with
Lance.
Maybe Lance wasnt my
first choice of a celebrity BFF,
but can you name one person
in Hollywood who hates him?
No! What kind of asshole
hates Lance Bass? Hes friends
with everyone from Fergie to
Carlton from The Fresh
Prince of Bel-Air. Deter-
mined to add myself to that
list, I said Hell yes, Im in,
figuring Lance would be my
gateway drug into a sea of
celebrity comrades.
A few hours later we went
to the apartment where my
roommates male lover lived so
we could pregame. After three
shots of tequila and my
friend Lisa who was visiting
me still not believing that we
were going to hang out with
someone from N Sync
Lance showed up with his
assistant.
Whats wrong, intern? the
assistant yelled at me when I
started gagging up the ump-
teenth shot of tequila. Cant
handle your liquor, intern?
My mission didnt get off to
a good start since I couldnt
handle my alcohol as well as
someone from a boy band,
which I never thought Id say.
It wasnt until we were
hanging out at a gay bar,
where my friend Lisa was
busy motorboating a line of
gays, that I seized my opportu-
nity. I went up to Lance, while
completely inebriated, and
found every excuse for him to
get my number so we could
become friends. I offered to be
his intern, for crying out loud.
He wasnt having it.
So, I decided to buy him a
shot. When I got back to our
table at the club with it, he
was gone because fans were
bothering him.
The last words I screamed
before passing out that night
were Lance Bass didnt want
my number!!
So, Lance Bass, you may
just be an average guy who
happened to have their teenage
years captured in music vid-
eos, but to me youll always be
the celebrity who turned down
my friendship. And to that I
say Kiss. My. Ass! W
Lance Bass
can kiss my
ass
Former teen pop star
Lance Bass passed up
the chance to be Justins
celebrity BFF.

By Alan K. Stout
Weekender Music Columnist
T
he music of A Social
State, according to the
band, was inspired by
situations we all sometimes en-
counter in everyday life. And
thats why it hopes listeners can
relate to its songs. But at the
same time, the group feels the
tunes are just vague enough that
people can interpret them in their
own ways. Its a smart way to
write and one thats helped the
band build a new following.
A Social State formed nearly
two years ago and is based out of
Scranton. It features Ed Cuozzo
on vocals and guitar, Jon Fletcher
on bass, C.J. Williams on guitar
and Jerry Lamark on drums. The
band, which came together as the
result of what was supposed to be
a casual jam, includes former
members of Melded, Livingston
and Losing Caufield.
It just fell together immedi-
ately, says Cuozzo. It was com-
pletely organic. Everybody was
laughing and having a good time.
No drama. Immediately, we all
knew we had to be a band.
The groups latest release,
Everyones Your Friend, was
mostly recorded at SI Studios in
Old Forge. Tracks include Ter-
mination Papers, Golden Gate
Bridge and The Day That
Simply Faded Away. Cuozzo,
who pens the lyrics, says his own
experiences serve as an inspira-
tion.
Its just life, he says. Day-
to-day relationships, whether it
be your girlfriend or your fellow
man. Or your work. And not
knowing what the next day
brings. That fuels my writing
not knowing where Im going to
end up. I put my life on the line.
When I was in ninth grade, I
dropped out of high school just
so I could do music, and I think
that constantly feeds what the
songs are about. It constantly
makes me think, Well, what if
this doesnt work? So I write
about that.
The Everyones Your Friend
CD is available on iTunes, Ama-
zon, Rhapsody and Napster. The
initial pressing of the CD is near-
ly sold out, but will be restocked
soon at Embassy Vinyl in Scran-
ton. Cuozzo says changes in life,
particularly separation, have also
impacted his songwriting.
As you get older, you start to
separate from people that you
really loved when you were
younger, he says. You just grow
up. Its just life. And thats hard
to deal with sometimes. Even
when youre 24, its still hard to
deal with.
A Social State names bands
such as Explosions In The Sky,
The Pixies, Nirvana, Margot and
The Nuclear So and Sos, Muse,
Radiohead, Saves The Day, Sigur
Ros, Weezer and Jimmy Eat
World as influences. Some are
household names, while others
are not. Cuozzo says he enjoys
listening to music that he finds
artful and adds that hes frustrat-
ed by the fact that great art and
mainstream success rarely go
hand in hand.
I find that I hear about music,
or I hear good music, on college
radio, he says. Thats the best
place to find it, at least for me. I
always stumble across something
good. Theres this band right now
that I guess you can say it al-
ternative rock, and theyre amaz-
ing. Theyre called Colour Re-
volt, and I think theyve made the
best record that Ive heard in the
last seven years. And it sucks,
because nobody knows who they
are. Their songs are beautiful.
As for the music of A Social
State, he hopes it sparks a similar
connection.
I hope people can relate, he
says. Im sure there are people
my age, or younger, that have
gone through these things. You
have friends that leave, or you
have a falling out with a family
member, or a friend or a girl-
friend. And even on some other
level, I think the lyrics are spacey
enough, not quite blunt, and
ambiguous.
I hope somebody can find
something in maybe the way I
sing a lyric, or the way that we
come into a bridge or a chorus
that it makes them feel some-
thing. Thats really all I want. W

Weekender General Manager
F
ounded in 2009,
Kickstarter
has become an
international
phenomenon. Why
is that? Because its launching
small business ventures all over
the world, one pledge at a time.
Just what is this company, and
what is its mission all about?
Check out the explanation right
from the source at kickstarter.
com:
Kickstarter is the largest
funding platform for creative
projects in the world. Every
week, tens of thousands of
amazing people pledge millions
of dollars to projects from
the worlds of music, lm,
art, technology, design, food,
publishing and other creative
elds.
Anew form of commerce
and patronage. This is not about
investment or lending. Project
creators keep 100 percent
ownership and control over
their work. Instead, they offer
Kickstart your business venture
products and experiences that are
unique to each project.
Heres how it works: New
business venture needs x
amount of capital to launch.
Business places video about
project and/or photos on
kickstarter.com. The public can
then make pledges, purchasing
the item or services. Once the
nancial goal is met through
pledges, the people who make
the pledges get the item or
services and the business venture
is launched. The business now
has the capital to fulll its
mission. Pretty neat, right?
But it doesnt stop there.
The business doesnt simply go
away now that its met its goal.
Shoppers from around the world
can check out the successful
businesses on kickstarter.com
to learn more about them and
possibly make future purchases.
Its a social medium meets
ecommerce, meets business
platform meets amazing
ingenuity.
With countless products and
services available, shoppers can
spend hours checking out cool
new clothing lines, art, music,
design, etc. And the fashion!
Page after page of new clothing
designers, underground artisans,
jewelry designers and everything
in between.
Some successful clothing
and accessory business concepts
that have been launched through
Kickstarter include Kristy LIN
surrealist ne jewelry, OMG
from jeweler Wendy Brandes,
Haut Totes by Melissa Lewis
and Bullets2Bandages.org,
which makes bullet pendants
and donates the proceeds to
The Travis Manion Foundation.
The foundation was set up by
business owners and United
States Naval Academy graduates
Erik Spalding and Cole Evans
for their friend, Travis Manion,
who was killed in action in Iraq
in 2007.
Want to be part of the action?
Make a pledge to the following
designers: Over Our Heads
Umbrellas for Happy People, The
Mustache Tie Clip project or the
Darwins Finches Shirt project.

ideas? Go to kickstarter.com and

By Nikki M. Mascali
Weekender Editor
O
nce a primarily water-
based paint artist, Mary
Beth Lesko, the founder
and president of the Wilkes-
Barre chapter of the Colored
Pencil Society of America
(CPSA), discovered a new, more
favorable, medium to use. She
became frustrated with water-
based paint and decided to try
colored pencils out.
I found that I loved it, she
said. I liked layering colors.
She used her new colored-
pencil art pieces in a show she
participated in, and after being
well-received by the attendees,
she decided to turn the experi-
ment into a commitment.
Lesko later read an American
Artist magazine and discovered a
small article about the CPSA, a
new upcoming organization that
was going to focus on the impor-
tance of colored pencils as a
fine-art medium. She immediate-
ly contacted the organization,
attended a convention in San
Diego and decided to become
part of its movement.
I fell in love with the artwork,
so, I came to Pennsylvania and
started my own chapter, Lesko
said.
Nine years into making col-
ored pencil her primary art medi-
um and being president of the
only CPSA chapter in Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania, shes ready to
again display the outcome of
manipulating the amazing tex-
ture of colored pencils on Fri-
day, Aug. 5, when the Vgogh
Gallery in Kingston hosts the 8th
annual exhibit for the local chap-
ter of the Colored Pencil Society
of America.
This years exhibit is entitled
Summer Brights and features a
display of summer-inspired,
bright-colored pieces of art.
Britney Hazleton, the market-
ing and public relations assistant
of the gallery, said that artists
were encouraged to use new
pieces and had been informed,
ahead of time, that the theme was
going to be the bright colors of
summer.
Each of the seven local artists
Lesko, Mary Lou Steinberg,
Barbara Baker, Sabine Thomas,
Shawn Falchetti, Lyn Iorio and
Charles Woody Woodworth
has prepared four pieces for the
exhibit.
We have flamingos, nostalgic-
type candy, everything in there is
bright, Hazleton said.
According to Lesko, the pieces
on display will have realistic
textures due to the detail made
possible by the versatility of
colored pencils.
Theres limitless techniques
you can do with color pencil,
Lesko explained. Theyre rich
and creamy, and theyre semi-
transparent, so when you color,
you just have that beautiful tex-
ture.
Hazleton agreed.
People assume its a little
kids medium, she said. Its not
like paint, where you screw up,
and you can do it over. It takes
time to get the shade.
Lesko and Hazleton want
NEPA to share their admiration
for the art form, and that is why
they said this event is necessary.
We want to introduce colored
pencil to artists and show the
quality that can be produced with
our colored pencils, Lesko said.
The national (chapters) chose
Wilkes-Barre because of the
location. Its one of the biggest
cities in the Northeast, she said.
We feel like Wilkes-Barre is an
up-and-coming art community,
and most of our members are
here.
Despite the optimistic view of
the potential interest of art in
Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton said that
some people might still reluctant
to go into art galleries.
Theyre curious to see whats
inside, but people are afraid to
come in, she said. I dont want
people to feel like they dont
belong. Everyone is looking for
something different to do. Why
not come? Its free, and its going
to be fun. W

Auntie Annes inside the View-

nized as a Pretzel Perfect

locations in the United States,
only 30 are chosen to receive this
recognition.
To be Pretzel Perfect, a store

WILKES-BARRES
LATINCORNER
El RinconLatino Restaurant
will soon open in the North Main
Street Wilkes-Barre building that
was most recently Mr. Tonys,
which opened in February and
closed in June. The building is
owned by ThomGreco, who is
leasing the space to El Rincon
co-owners Jerry Ruiz and Ya-
nires Borbon. El Rincon means
The Latin Corner.
Ive always wanted to open my
own place, Ruiz told The Times
Leader last week. We feel this is
a good location a lot of down-
town businesses and two colleges
nearby.
The restaurant/bar will be open
seven days a week from11a.m. to
2 a.m. and will serve lunch and
dinner.
Ruiz, who along with his wife
Paola Mendez and Borbon
worked for the past month to get
the space ready, said that he ex-
pects to open this week sometime;
take-out orders will be available,
but there will be no delivery ser-
vice.
Previously, the building at 69 N.
Main St. was Aprilia, Martini
Ristorante &Bar, Nonos, Ba-
zookas, Hacienda and The
Grogg Shoppe, and before Mr.
Tonys, a pizza buffet. W

rom a logical stand-
point, we all know
laughter isnt actually
the best medicine. But it sure
doesnt hurt when it comes to
finding a way to kick back
and relax or bring something
to the attention of other peo-
ple. Thats exactly what will
be happening at Wisecrackers
Comedy Club in Wilkes-Barre
on Friday, Aug. 5, when local
and national performers will
take the stage to benefit the
American Cancer Society and
help launch the Endure Bike-
a-thon taking place Sunday,
Aug.
Scott Bruce of Wisecrackers
will host the event, with local
comic Joe Bryan as the emcee
and performances by Meghan
Hanley, who has been fea-
tured in the New York Under-
ground Comedy Festivals
emerging comics contest, and
headliner Moody McCarthy,
who has done Last Comic
Standing, Jimmy Kimmel
Live and The Early Show.
According to Bryan, who is
organizing the comedy-filled
evening for the second year in
a row, the benefit is a fun
way to give back to the vol-
unteers and participants tak-
ing part in the race, in addi-
tion to being another way to
help raise funds for the
American Cancer Society.
Bryan noted that he was
particular about the perform-
ers he chose. Not only is
clean comedy his personal
preference, he also thought it
would be more appropriate
for an evening focused on
raising awareness for such a
serious subject. So when he
turned to his network of pro-
fessional contacts within the
industry, he kept that in mind.
I didnt want anything that
would be offensive or in-
sulting to other people, and
sometimes comics can (be
that way), he explained.
And thats OK thats what
they want, but I want it to be
a fun night where people walk
away feeling good, and I think
that they will with these co-
medians that we have on-
board.
The event has a personal
meaning for Bryan, whose
mother is a five-year breast
cancer survivor. When volun-
teer committee member Dawn
Brady approached him last
year about setting up a come-
dy-centered benefit, he had
no hesitation about being part
of something he feels is a
worthy cause.
Its just going to be a good
show and its just a great way
to come out and laugh and
have a good time, and its a
great benefit for the Amer-
ican Cancer Society, Bryan
said. I guess its a fun show
for all people, and its not
offensive, just good clean
comedy. W

ith summer starting
to wind down and
the threat of colder
weather fast approaching,
now might be the perfect
time to get out and enjoy the
last remnants of the season
while you still can. For a lot
of people, going for a good
old-fashioned bike ride is the
perfect way to savor those
last bits of unadulterated
sunshine, and many will be
doing just that with the 3rd
Annual Endure: An Amer-
ican Cancer Society Bike-a-
thon being held on Sunday,
Aug. 7 beginning at Wilkes
University.
According to event co-
chair Brian McQuestion, the
bike-a-thon will feature three
different routes that vary in
length and difficulty, allow-
ing for a wide variety of
participants to get active in a
good cause. He explained
that the 12-mile route is very
family-friendly and goes
along the new riverfront
park. The 36-mile course
provides a tour of the Back
Mountain and the 62-mile
route leads into Lake Winola
and Clarks Summit. Both are
challenging, but also hold
the promise of a pleasantly
scenic tour of our area.
There are all different
types of cyclists, he ex-
plained. And really, I guess,
it doesnt matter what mile-
age youre riding. Going
through each of these rides
could technically be a chal-
lenge for anybody.
Of course, the bike-a-thon
will be an opportunity to
raise money for the Amer-
ican Cancer Society, an orga-
nization that is deeply im-
portant to McQuestion, who
is a cancer survivor and
completed chemotherapy
seven years ago. McQues-
tion, along with his friend
and fellow race participant,
Vince Bulzoni, organized
their first charity bike ride
in 2009 and exceeded their
own expectations after 225
participants signed up, and
they raised almost $25,000.
In 2010, they brought in
volunteer committee member
Dawn Brady, who was a
huge asset when it came to
organizing the registration
and the post-race festival
(which is a tradition that
will be continued this year),
and after having 250 partici-
pants, they raised about
$33,000. This year, theyre
hoping for more of the same.
Although there are an infi-
nite amount of options when
it comes to fundraising op-
portunities, McQuestion orig-
inally chose to plan a cy-
cling event because the sport
is something he has been
passionate about since he
was diagnosed with cancer,
and he knows its an activity
that is very popular and
therefore sure to bring in a
lot of participants.
There are a lot of cyclists
in the area, and cancer af-
fects one in four people, so
it was a good opportunity to
spread the word while doing
something that we all enjoy
outside, he said.
The bike-a-thon is open to
individuals and teams right
up until the day of the event,
and there are plenty of fun-
draising incentives.
For McQuestion, though,
the biggest incentive is the
chance to raise funds for the
research and programs the
American Cancer Society
implements.
Research dictates a lot of
outcomes, as do the multiple
outreach programs that the
Cancer Society provides, he
said. They provide rides to
treatment, beauty services
and wigs for women going
through cancer, they do a
man-to-man program for men
with prostate cancer, and
really just act as a resource
to help the citizens in the
community. W

Green piece
By Jen Stevens
Special to the Weekender
R
ecently I have noticed a
growing trend that seems
to have been sparked by
celebrities, so I decided to check
into it to find out more. I first
saw feather hair extensions at a
concert where a lot of women
had them throughout their hair. A
friend of mine loved them so
much, she had a few put in her
hair that same day. As much as I
liked the way they looked, I
wanted to know more about the
source.
Most people would just as-
sume that the feathers they are
seeking for their hair dont really
cause any harm, or they just
dont care. Originally, feather
extensions came from bait shops
that used rooster feathers for
fly-fishing bait. Now the demand
is up so much that farms are
raising roosters specifically for
hair accessories and thousands of
roosters are dying because of it.
To me, this seems crazy. These
roosters are being genetically
altered just so they can produce
feathers extra long and colorful.
Any large concentrated animal
feeding area has a high impact on
the environment, from harmful
land waste to chemical runoffs in
our water sources. Sadly, once
the roosters have all of their
feathers plucked off, they are
killed and either used for com-
post or just thrown out.
So instead of being a complete
downer, I thought it would be
nice to offer some cruelty-free
feather sources. I have to admit,
feathers are beautiful, but they
arent meant to be in my hair
The feather look can be duplicat-
ed with things such as ribbons
and even faux feathers. You can
even find no-kill feathers and
have a little peace of mind know-
ing you havent killed a bird for
your accessory.
If you must have real feathers,
try and look into the source and
find a company that cares. Fine
Featherheads gets its feathers
from Whiting Farms. Owner
Tom Whiting provides healthy,
stress-free environments for his
birds, which are 100 percent
natural, antibiotic and hormone
free. As nice as the farm is, the
birds are still humanely euthan-
ized for their feathers.
There is nothing more impor-
tant than moral progress and
knowing the truth behind every-
thing. With that being said, I will
leave you with a Mahatma Gand-
hi quote that will hopefully make
you think about whats really
important:
The greatness of a nation and
its moral progress can be judged
by the way its animals are treat-
ed. W
Think before
you wear
feathers
Feathers are trendy right now, but theyre not always
environmentally or animal-friendly.

LEO(JULY23-AUG. 22)
Leos are generally quite honest, but not
always because of some unswerving moral
certitude, but sometimes simply out of
laziness and, to some degree, insensitivity.
You just cant be bothered to tell a lie, since
maintaining falsehoods requires tremen-
dous energy, and besides, whats the point?
In this case, though, there may be a very
good reason for covering up, or at least
withholding, the truth. Try not to let your
own ingrained and generally upstanding
habits occlude that possibility. Its rare
when being deliberately ambiguous or
benevolently dishonest are good ideas, but
it happens like this week.
VIRGO(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Just because someone is completely
upfront about their shortcomings doesnt
mean you must put up with them. Thats
not to say you should turn your nose up at
anyone with failings; were all imperfect
beings, after all. But honesty about those
flaws does not equal a get-out-of-jail-free
card. You should reserve the right to re-
spectfully walk away fromsomeone whose
faults make themunworthy of you. Howev-
er, be clear: If theyd slowly revealed this
stuff over time, instead of spilling the beans
all at once, would you react differently? If
so, please allowthat to influence howyou
choose to respond now.
LIBRA(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Fixing a broken appliance is something
you can do by yourself. Repairing a rela-
tionship, however, isnt usually a solo job
(unless youre the main element thats
malfunctioning, a highly unlikely scena-
rio). You need some cooperation to get this
done; without it youll just be frustrated
and not much further along than you are
right now. Ask for the help you need. You
may not want to let this go, but unless
someone else is willing to put in the work
and meet you somewhere near the halfway
point, its a lost cause. Get that collab-
oration or get out, now.
SCORPIO(OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Some people handle alcohol or drugs
just fine, enjoying themrecreationally with
mostly inconsequential negative impact on
their lives overall. Many others, however,
cant seemto keep things under control,
and allowsuch activities to wreak havoc on
the stability of their day-to-day existences.
Unfortunately, Scorpios, with your mag-
netic attraction to extremes, tend to draw
many such reckless and/or self-destructive
types. You cant do much about someone
elses tendencies, but you can control how
much you empower such detrimental be-
havior. This week, be conscious of your
contributions in this department, and if you
discover youre more instrumental in some-
ones harmful habits than youd like, make
changes accordingly.
SAGITTARIUS(NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Being honest at all costs has indeed cost
you dearly at times. I admire your determi-
nation to be upfront and forthright in all
your dealings. However, as you know,
sometimes this works against you more
than for you. People dont always appre-
ciate discovering what it is you have to
share. Learning to bite your tongue at times
has been an important lesson youve had to
repeat more than once (or suffered through
after screwing it up). This week youll get
another chance or three to figure out when
to speak up or shut up. Heres hoping you
get it right this time; if not, theres always
next time.
CAPRICORN(DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
You can pretend youre confused about
what the right thing to do is, but youre
really not. You know. The problemis youre
scared. Thats OK. Most people would be
anxious in your shoes. That doesnt mean
you get to let yourself off the hook, though.
Youd regret that later, I promise. You need
to marshal your courage here and step up.
Try not to think about the negative conse-
quences (of which therell probably be a
few), but instead of the positive results of
your intervention, and the pride youll feel
later, instead of regret.
AQUARIUS(JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Fair-minded as you are, its torturous
when people in your life expect you to pick
sides in a conflict that has little or nothing
to do with you. This is, of course, a totally
unreasonable expectation (whose injustice
will not deter themin the slightest). There-
fore, its up to you to drawthat boundary
line and stick to it, even if it makes you feel
like youre the one being ridiculous, not
them. Youre not a villain for staying out of
a fight but one or more of those in-
volved might try to make you think so. Be
Switzerland and stay neutral, and if they
really wont stand for it, go to Switzerland
or somewhere equally far away.
PISCES(FEB. 19-MARCH20)
When a mix-up causes you to receive an
unexpected windfall, come clean immedi-
ately, despite the greedy temptation to just
keep your mouth shut and keep what you
dont really have coming to you. Sure, its
OKto keep $20 you found on the ground,
but this isnt exactly that, is it? Even if
unlikely, its possible that this error will be
fixed, and youll look like a greedy asshole
when it comes out that you didnt say a
word. Coming clean immediately may
sting in the short-term, but youll emerge
fromthe situation smelling like roses and
looking great, which will pay out its own
benefits in due time.
ARIES(MARCH21-APRIL19)
Its annoying howsome people, when
theyre in crisis or simply feeling some-
thing passionately, expect you to drop
everything and rush to their side to support
them, or perhaps join in the fun. However,
while its great when you can be there for a
friend, this isnt always possible. For you
Rams, its almost impossible not to get
caught up in the intensity of the moment,
and most of the time thats OKand even
great. However, this time you need to keep
your eyes on the big picture and recognize
that rushing off right nowwould not be
good for your overall agenda, so dont do it.
TAURUS(APRIL 20-MAY20)
Teenage certainty is charming on a
teenager. The conviction that a high school
sweetheart is the love of their life is almost
certainly unlikely to play out well, but the
best we can do is try not to unload too
much of our cynicismon their untested
young hearts. However, when its a full-on
adult whos engaging in this kind of unreal-
istic navet, its best to say a little some-
thing. You dont need to go out of your way
to shatter their foolish dreams, and prob-
ably most of what you say will fall on deaf
ears, but if your voice of reason is reason-
able enough, some of it might sink in be-
fore theyve gone too far down that path.
GEMINI (MAY21-JUNE20)
It may feel like justice to you when cruel
things happen to mean people, but I think
you should try to muster up some compas-
sion, anyway. Usually nasty people are only
that way because theyve already suffered
tremendously; adding more misery to that
pile isnt justice its quite the opposite.
Yeah, this person is hard to like. But just
think of howmuch a little unexpected
kindness could mean to a person like that.
Even if theyre incapable of showing grat-
itude in the moment (or ever), just think of
your kind deeds as good karma and be glad
you didnt indulge the childishly vindictive
side of yourself that was thinking, Serves
themright!
CANCER(JUNE21-JULY22)
Cancers can be snoopy busybodies.
Thats fine, and Imnot judging you
(much). However, this backfires when you
discover something you really didnt want
to know; this could be something benign,
like finding out about your surprise party
or something more harmful, like discov-
ering your mothers illicit extramarital
affair, something you really wish you never
knew. Imnot sure if youre able to tone
down the nosiness, even for your own good
other peoples business is so fascinating,
after all! However, if you can, this week
would be a great time to try, for the sake of
your own serenity. W

By Jayne Moore
Weekender Correspondent
T
raveling back and forth to
my hometown of Blooms-
burg, I have passed it a
million times without stopping to
enjoy this gift of history. Tucked
in a small glade just a few yards
off Route 11 between Blooms-
burg and Berwick lies Bills Old
Bike Barn. This museum of
wondrous stuff is located just
behind Bills Custom Cycles.
Both are unassuming buildings
filled with myriads of treasures.
You just have to stop, take some
time out of your busy schedule
and enjoy a walk through history.
Bill Morris is the owner of the
Custom Cycles shop and the Old
Bike Barn. He has filled the
buildings with things not from
antiquity but from Americas last
century. A time that was slower
than now when people visited the
shop instead of using eBay.
People in their 50s and 60s
come here and forget all the
plastic and get into the old stuff,
he said. Everybody thinks Im
crazy.
And he might just be a little bit
crazy indeed. Hes got more than
180 assorted bikes and scads of
other interesting mementos that
each tells its own story on how it
got into this collection as well as
the story of its place in history.
Take, for example, the old cam-
era collection.
There was this lady that came
in, her husband had passed away,
she toured the barn, and then
came back the next Sunday in
this old station wagon filled with
cameras, he recalled. She just
gave them to me. Her husband
collected cameras, and when he
died, she didnt want them. So,
there they are.
In Billville, a new part of the
museum that resembles a small
Victorian-era town, there are
sights to behold. One of the most
interesting is what Morris calls
The Worlds Fair Bar, it has a
tin ceiling and old bar. What is
most interesting is the Pabst Blue
ribbon sign that has peoples
signatures from all over the
world. They come all the way to
Berwick to see this place, and so
many of us drive right by ignor-
ing a treasure that is so close to
us.
Morriss girlfriend, Judy Lau-
bach, helps him run the place.
They are busy all the time, even
bus trips come to see what the
barn holds beneath its eaves.
Morris admits, though, that times
are changing.
The people that used to come
once a week to get bike parts,
now come once or twice a year to
see what Ive got new, he said.
With $100 for gas for your
truck, its easier to pick up the
phone.
Morris even salvaged the or-
nate bar that was once part of the
Berwick Hotel. It now has found
a home in Billville, saved from
becoming part of a landfill. His-
tory preserved and made useful
once again.
This place is something that
you really have to see for your-
self, this column does not do it
justice. Two things that really
caught my eye were the Harley
Davidson scooter yes scooter
and the motorcycle tank.
Morris says that what he thinks
is unique or a draw for his place
is that so many people who come
can relate to some of the things
in there, as they were part of their
own history. So even if you arent
into motorcycles, there is some-
thing that will draw your eye and
remind you of a story from your
own past.
Take some time, slow down
and visit the Old Bike Barn,
youll come away in a wonderful
mood, and youll see something
you havent seen before. Get
more info at billsbikebarn.com or
call 570.759.7030. W

Ride of
the Week
This is my summer car, Pawley says. I enjoy
putting the top down and taking a ride on country
roads on nice days.
Pawley drives a Dodge Ram during the winter,
when his Miata is covered in the garage. Mazda
began producing the Miata in 1989.
I bought it a few years ago, Pawley says. I
always wanted to own a convertible and never did
before. My wife calls it my mid-life crisis car. W
