here back in 2006. Franco
was a kind and great person
who I always loved having
conversations with whenever I
ran into him, and for a long time
now, the Sideshow Gathering
has been one of my favorite
yearly events.
On behalf of all of us here at
the Weekender, we express our
deepest sympathies to Kim and
everyone who will surely miss
Franco as much as we will. God
bless, friend.

This week, I’m pleased to
announce a new addition to
the Weekender family: Staff
Writer Stephanie DeBalko.
If the name seems familiar
to you, it should because
Stephanie has been one
of our “Novel Approach”
book reviewers since 2009.
Going back even further,
however, Stephanie was an
editorial intern here in 2007
while she was attending
Wilkes University for
communications studies.
I was the Weekender’s
staff writer at that time and
always remembered Stephanie’s
drive, creativity and humor, so
I’m very pleased to have her on
board as part of our editorial
staff. I hope you’ll join me in
welcoming her to the paper and
look as forward as I do to having
her write for us.
On an unhappy note, I was
deeply saddened to hear about
the passing of Franco Kossa, co-
owner of Marc’s Tattooing and
Body Piercing and the organizer
of the Sideshow Gathering
component to the annual Inkin’
the Valley tattoo convention.
The Weekender has worked
for many years alongside Franco
and his wife, Kim, both of whom
I met personally when I started

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
HUNGRY FOR JUSTICE?
Equal justice under the law
might just depend simply on
whether a judge’s stomach is
growling when he pronounces
sentence, according to a study of
1,000 parole decisions during 50
courtroom days observed by
students from Columbia Uni-
versity and Israel’s Ben Gurion
University for an April journal
article. The students found that,
day after day, judges were in-
creasingly stingy with parole as a
morning or afternoon session
wore on, but that dramatic spikes
in generosity took effect immedi-
ately following lunch or a snack
break. The lead researcher, Co-
lumbia professor Jonathan Levav,
expressed satisfaction with the
scholarship but disappointment
“as a citizen” with the findings.
NOTE: From time to time,
News of the Weird reminds
readers that bizarre human
adventures repeat themselves
again and again. Here are some
choice selections of previous
themes recently recurring:
-- “Man’s best friend” some-
times isn’t, as when a playful dog
hops onto a gun on the ground,
causing it to fire a round. John
Daniels, 28, took a bullet in the
knee from his dog, for example,
in Raleigh, N.C., in January.
Dogs betray in other ways, too.
Motorist Joel Dobrin, 32, was
pulled over in a traffic stop in
February in Moro, Ore., and
rushed to hide his alleged drug
stash, which was in a sock. How-
ever, his dog intercepted the sock
for an impromptu game of dog-
tug-of-war in the car. Dobrin won
but lost his grip, and the sock
flew out the driver’s window,
right in front of the officer. Do-
brin was cited, and later indicted,
for drug possession.
-- At least three jihadist groups
in recent years have published
full-color Arabic magazines
lauding the Islamist struggle,
with articles and essays to recruit
fighters and offer personal advice
for women on the importance of
raising proper families and cater-
ing to mujahedeens’ needs. The
latest, Al-Shamikha (“The Ma-
jestic Woman”), which surfaced
in March, featured interviews
with martyrs’ wives and advised
women to stay indoors, both for
modesty and a “clear complex-
ion” (advice that earned the
magazine its nickname “Jihad
Cosmo”).
-- Prevailing medical authority
20 years ago warned that few
humans could survive blood-
alcohol readings above .40 (per-
cent), but in recent years, drivers
have rather easily survived higher
numbers (curiously, many from
Wisconsin, such as the man in
February in Madison, Wis., with
a .559). (In 2007, an Oregon
driver was found unconscious,
but survived, with a .72 reading.)
The plethora of high numbers
might indicate mistaken medical
teaching or nonstandard machine
measurements — or an evolu-
tionary hardiness in American
drinkers.
-- Young girls “grow up” pre-
maturely, often aided by hungry
retailers such as the U.S.’s Aber-
crombie & Fitch and the British
clothiers Primark and Matalan,
each of which this spring began
offering lines of padded bras for
girls as young as 7 (8 at Aber-
crombie & Fitch for the “Ashley
Push-Up Triangle”), with Mata-
lan offering one in size “28aa.”
Child advocates were predictably
disgusted, with one Los Angeles
psychologist opining that permis-
sive mothers were trying to com-
pensate through their daughters
for their own lack of sexual ap-
peal.
-- Chutzpah! Thieves usually
pick out easy jobs, but occasion-
ally they go bold — for example,
breaking into the prison at New
Plymouth, New Zealand’s North
Island, in March (carrying off a
large TV set) or breaking into a
police station in Uddingston,
Scotland, in April (carrying off
uniforms and radios).
-- Carelessness sometimes
begets tragedy, as when motorists
survive terrible accidents but
then, while awaiting help, they
are hit and killed by emergency
vehicles. In December, near
Ocala, Fla., a 39-year-old driver
survived a rollover but was acci-
dentally run over and killed by a
responding Marion County sher-
iff’s deputy, and in April in Bald-
win Park, Calif., an arriving
ambulance fatally struck a 22-
year-old accident victim who
was, until that moment, not seri-
ously hurt.
UPDATES
-- In 2007, Australian Wayne
Scullino, then 30, quit his job in
Sydney and somehow convinced
his wife they should sell their
house and move to Wisconsin for
the sole purpose of rooting for
the Green Bay Packers, about
which he had enjoyed an in-
explicable fascination since age
15. Said Scullino, “At some
point, you’ve got to ... start living
the life you want to.” After one
season, the Scullinos returned
home, but in February 2011, he
was of course back in the U.S.,
on hand in Dallas for the Pack-
ers’ victory in Super Bowl XLV.
Scullino says his Australian
friends are still bewildered. “I try
to talk to them about it,” he said,
“but they just don’t get it.”
-- In January 2010, shortly
after News of the Weird’s report,
the U.K. government admitted
that the British-made “magic
wand” bomb-detector its own
Department of Trade and Indus-
try was promoting for export to
police in Mexico and the Philip-
pines was useless (no better than
a Ouija board). Earlier, several
British firms had sold thousands
to Iraqi police at dollar equiv-
alents of $16,000 to $60,000
(from a manufacturing cost of
about $20 each). Furthermore,
according to City of London
police, “hundreds” of Iraqis had
died in Baghdad after suicide
bombers were mistakenly al-
lowed into secure areas after
being “cleared” by the wands. In
January 2011, BBC News report-
ed that a new British company,
Unival, featuring a respected
retired Army colonel as spokes-
man, had resumed selling the
wands, to Bulgarian police.
-- Sigurdur Hjartarson’s life’s
work is his Phallological Mu-
seum in the fishing town of Hu-
savik, Iceland. As the world’s
only all-penis attraction, it draws
tourists by the thousands, eager
to see the 276-specimen collec-
tion of desiccated or stuffed
organs from a wide range of
animals. However, only in April
(15 years after it opened) did the
museum acquire a human penis,
donated by the late Pall Arason,
an acquaintance who, said Hjar-
tarson, “liked to be in the lime-
light ... to be provocative.” To an
Associated Press reporter in-
quiring of the “size” of Arason’s
donation, Hjartarson said only,
“You will just have to come and
see it.” W

WATER EVERYWHERE
Geologist Brian Oram, laboratory director of the Environmental Quality Center at
Wilkes University, was featured in an article entitled “Water World” in the May issue of
SELF magazine, which discussed the safety of tap water.
PANACEA SPLITS
Local rock band Panacea called it quits last week, announcing on its website that “It is
with a heavy heart and much sadness to announce today that the members of Pan.a.ce.a
have disbanded. This was not by any stretch an easy decision for anyone. But it was felt
that it was just time. It’s been a great ride, but all good things must come to an end.”
The band was made up of singer/songwriter Tim Farley, drummer Kevin Harry, bassist
Matt Jaffin and guitarist Paul Young.
ROAD TO MUSIC
The recently created NEPA-based music website Highway 81 Revisited, launched by for-
mer Weekender editor Mike Lello, will host a launch party Saturday, May 14 AT 8 p.m. at
The Bog (341 Adams Ave., Scranton) featuring performances by These United States, Pap-
py and Mike Quinn.
There is a $5 cover charge, and attendees will have a chance to win tickets to the Drive-

coming shows presented by Get Cryptic as well as Prairie Queen Records CDs.
For more info on Highway 81 Revisited, contact [email protected] or call
570.817.0339.
AMBER ALERT
Count Me In for Women’s Economic Independence, the leading national not-for-profit
women entrepreneur advocates recently named Holly Chmil of Scranton-based Amberjew-
elry.com as one of 62 Pitch Winners selected in its latest Make Mine a Million $ Busi-
ness event last month in Denver.
Chmil received a $1,000 prize for her winning business pitch in a national competition
vying for a spot in a renowned business growth program to help catapult her business reve-
nue to $1 million. Described as a cross between “The Apprentice” and “American Idol,”
the pitch competition invites women business owners to deliver a two minute “elevator
pitch” to a panel of small business experts and judges.
Amberjewelry.com, which sells certified authentic Baltic amber and sterling silver jewelry
from Poland, was founded by Scranton native Andzia Chmil in 1995. The store is located
at 1808 N. Main Ave., Scranton. Hours are Monday-Friday from 10 a.m.-6 and Saturday
from 11 a.m.-3. For more info visit the website or call 570.346.4568. W

That’s howmuch money
“Concert For Karen/Concert
For ACause” raised during its
12-year run from1999-2011. And
what struck me the most last week
at the event’s grand finale, “Con-
cert For ACause 9: The Final
Show,” was howmany people
were saying “thank you” to one
another. I knowthat I myself said
it quite a bit. I thanked the bands
that played the show, the folks
from97.9Xand 97 BHT, the crew
fromRock Street Music, the
people fromThe Woodlands, the
volunteers fromBig Brothers/Big
Sisters, my friends fromthe
Weekender, and of course, all of
the people that came out and
helped us raise $12,614 for the Big
Brothers/Big Sisters Anti-Bully-
ing Program.
CFC9 was, in many ways, one
big “thank you,” which is exactly
one of the things I’d hoped it
would be. Presenting one last
show, rather than just packing it in
before saying goodbye, was our
way of thanking you for 12 years
of incredible support. And as I
arrived at The Woodlands around
2 p.m. last Wednesday —four
hours before we opened the doors
to CFC9 —I realized I’ll prob-
ably never again be a part of any-
thing quite like it. Our radio spon-
sors were already there, broad-
casting live. The crewfromRock
Street was already there, setting
up the stages and musical equip-
ment. And The Woodlands?
Handling business, as usual. It all
reminded me of that old line from
President Ronald Reagan, “You’d
be amazed what can be accom-
plished when nobody cares who
gets the credit.”
That, to me, was “Concert For
Karen/Concert For ACause.”
It was “our” event, and that
includes you, the people that came
to it year after year. It was a tre-
mendous teameffort, and maybe
that’s why so many people were
saying “thank you” to one another
last Wednesday.
I’ve been writing this annual
CFK/CFCwrap-up column for 12
years now. Often, I’d try to name
every single person that helped
out in any way. This year, I even
thought about not only doing that,
but also some of the folks that
have helped us out dating back to
1999. But you knowwhat might
happen —so many years, so many
great people —I might forget
some folks. Thus, I’mgoing to try
and keep it basic, yet also compre-
hensive.
Big thanks also to all 71bands
that played the event over the past
12 years, including the more than
30 acts that rocked the house last
Wednesday. Music was the key to
CFC. And we always had great
music.
Thanks also everyone at The
Weekender and The Times Lead-
er, both past and present, that
supported CFC. I was always very
proud of the way our company
supported the event and this year
was no exception.
Big thanks to everyone at 97.9X
and 97BHT, both past and present.
Since1999, radio was a huge part
of CFC’s success and we worked
with some fine people at those
two radio stations over the years.
Huge thanks Rock Street Mu-
sic. I said it every year and I’ll say
it again: no sound, no lights, no
show. Thank you.
Thanks to the entire staff of The
Woodlands, who for the past 10
years, literally let us take over the
place for one day each year. And
thanks to the former staffs of
Jitterbugs and the Voodoo
Lounge, our CFKhome from
1999-2001. And thanks to L.T.
Verrastro/Coors Light. They
joined us in 2005 for CFC3, and
for six years, they were a wonder-
ful sponsor.
Thanks to everyone at The
United Way of Wyoming Valley
for their tremendous support, and
to the Gallery of Sound. We sold
well over a thousand CFCrecords
at Gallery of Sound since 2002,
and do you knowwho much mon-
ey the stores kept as a distribution
fee? None. Every dime came right
back to the cause. Thank you.
Thanks to Fleet Decal &Graph-
ics, Bewick &Jones Printing and
WBRE-TV, WNEP-TVand FOX
56. And thanks to Saturation
Acres Recording Studio for its
help on the CFCalbums.
Thanks to all of the other local
radio stations that also helped us
spread the word about CFC, in-
cluding Magic 93, WILK, The
Mountain, KRZ-FM, WRKC-FM
and WSFX-FM. Thanks Elton
John and the Mohegan Sun Arena,
and to Northway Ventures and
Lamar Advertising for the bill-
boards. Thanks to the great team
of volunteers fromBig Brothers/
Big Sisters that worked long shifts
at the T-shirt and CDstand and to
all of the great photographers that
took CFCpictures over the years.
And very special thanks to Lyn
Carey. The death of her sister,
Karen Greenberg Revit, inspired
the first “Concert For Karen”
event 12 years ago, and Karen’s
spirit stayed with us each year, as
did Lyn. Her parents, Barry and
Irma Fischer, who have also since
passed away, were also very sup-
portive of the event, and we felt
still their spirit with us as well,
especially this year as we doubled
Barry’s goal of reaching
$100,000.
$204, 544. That’s a lot of money
raised for great causes. And so
fromme —and for all of us —we
say, thank you.
Andthankyou, most of all, to
Karen. W
204,544 reasons
to say ` thank you'
CFC said goodbye last week.

Urge Overkill might be best known for
its cover of Neil Diamond’s “Girl, You’ll
Be a Woman Soon” — famously used
in “Pulp Fiction” — but truth be told, it
deserves to be known just as much for
being a great, gritty Chicago rock ’n’ roll
band.
Featuring original singers/guitarists
Eddie “King” Roeser and Nash Kato
with drummer Bonn Quast and bassist
Good things often come in small
packages, and that is undeniably the case
with “Sing it Loud,” the most recent
offering from k.d. lang and the Siss
Boom Bang; it’s lang’s first record in 20
years created entirely with a band of her
own. With many expectations to meet,
she and her band rise to the challenge
beautifully.
The sweet little guitar licks and all-
too familiar melancholy lyrics on “I
Confess” set the mood of the album,
While the Beastie Boys
haven’t always been media
darlings, whenever they release
an album, it tends to get a lot
of attention — both good and
bad. Their latest album “Hot
Sauce Committee Part 2” is no
different, no doubt partially due
to the off-stage issues that the
band has had to deal with. The
lengthy four-year gap between
releases isn’t the longest one in
the Beastie’s career, but this one
became more significant after the
band didn’t release an album and
went on hiatus after announcing
that Adam “MCA” Yauch was
undergoing treatment for throat
cancer. Fast forward two years,

k.d. lang
and the Siss Boom Bang
“Sing it Loud”
Hadji Hodgkiss, UO will drop “Rock &
Roll Submarine,” its first album since
1995, May 10.
Lead track “Mason/Dixon” starts with
brief wind sounds and beeps before fuzzy
guitar kicks in. The title track follows
with great, chugging guitar and Roeser
wondering, “Do I have to spell it out
again/ This time with attitude?”
The angsty “Effigy,” with its Neil
Young “Rockin’ in the Free World”-
inspired guitar, is the first of several
standouts. “I don’t want an apology,
I want an effigy,” Roeser declares on
the track. Other highlights include the
noisy “Little Vice” with its great guitars
and almost sinister vocals; the trippy
distorted sounds of “Thought Balloon,”
which sounds straight from the ’90s (in
a good way) and “Quiet Person.” The
latter is light and airy, despite Roesner
sadly questioning, “I was always a quiet
person/ What kind of person could walk
all over me?” and “Am I happy? Or
just lucky today?” Kato’s strong vocals
kick in about halfway through to add
a completely different layer, and it’s
fantastic.
“Rock & Roll Submarine” is a great
record, proving that it’s a damn shame
Urge Overkill’s been MIAfor the past
16 years. Hopefully, the submarine will
bring the group above water — for good.
-- Nikki M. Mascali
Weekender Editor
which is one of haunting, elegantly
structured songs. lang is known for her
occasional transitions to and from genres,
having started out more in the realm of
old-school country music, and “Sing it
Loud” seems to be a celebration of that
bucolic edge (especially on “Inglewood”
and “Sorrow Nevermore”), but with
an ethereal weightlessness that is only
pulled off by the perfect combination
of velvety vocals and strong drum
backbeats.
The song “Sugar Buzz,” with its guitar
riff opening, is a melodic pick-me-up
after the lull of dramatic incantation
that opens the album. Its lyrics are pure
and simple, making a break from the
more intensely worded romanticism
lang establishes with “ASleep with No
Dreaming” and “The Water’s Edge.”
After the high of “Sugar Buzz,” “Sing
it Loud” delves into another plush
flow with the title track, and a cover of
Talking Heads’ “Heaven” rounds out the
compilation with impressive edge.
What lang and her band lack in
quantity, they make up for with quality.
Her signature crooning is marked by a
seemingly impossible blending of raw
words with smooth vocals. Her band
provides the perfect accompaniment on
each and every song, and the only thing
left to be desired would be more.
-- Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Staff Writer
Yauch is doing well, and the
group decided to dust off most of
the songs, add a few new ones,
and put them together as “Hot
Sauce Committee Part 2.”
The album opens with “Make
Some Noise,” which may be
intended as a call-to-arms type
of song, but doesn’t have quite
the energy that one might expect.
However, while some might
see that lack of energy as an
indication that the band has run
out of gas, the reality is that the
Beastie Boys haven’t grown old,
they’ve just grown up. Tracks
such as “OK” and “Too Many
Rappers” would be right at home
on any of the Beasties’ previous
albums, and they even show a bit
of fire on tracks like “Lee Majors
Come Again” and “Here’s A
Little Something For Ya.”
It’s been a long time since
the Beasties’ songs have been
focused solely around a party-
all-night mentality, and while the
departure from that means that
there is not another anthem on
this album a la “Fight for Your
Right” or “Hey Ladies,” the
resulting freedom also allows the
band to experiment a bit and to
create some music that is a little
more interesting.

If you’re a watermelon,
it’s a bad time to be in Pennsylvania.
Prop-comedy icon Gallagher is coming to Eleanor Rigby’s
(603 Scranton Carbondale Highway, Jermyn) on Saturday,
May 7 and Crocodile Rock in Allentown on Sunday, May 8.
Gallagher has been splattering watermelons, cottage
cheese and every other grocery item you can think of all
over the country for decades, closing his standup comedy
shows with his most famous bit, a consumerist culture-
smashing sketch called “The Sledge-O-Matic.” Those who
attend the shows in Jermyn and Allentown might want to
bring raincoats or a change of clothes.
Tickets for the May 7 show at Eleanor Rigby’s are $25-$30.
For info, call 570.730.3798. or visit myspace.com/Eleanor-
Rigbys. Tickets for the May 8 show at Crocodile Rock are
$20. Call 610.434.4600 or visit crocodilerockcafe.com.

ormally, my column is
a bit more “consumer”
oriented. But given the
latest news, I think a segue into
something a bit more pertinent to
current events is warranted.
By now, you’ve heard the
big news: Osama bin Laden is
dead. If this is news to you, you
should pick up The Times Leader
because you’ve missed a bit of
extremely important news.
Americans were out in the
streets late Sunday night into
early Monday morning chanting
“U.S.A., U.S.A.” repeatedly and
waving American fags all around.
And there’s nothing wrong with
that — we have neutralized a
dangerous, implacable enemy,
someone responsible for the
deaths of thousands of Americans
and countless others in countries
around the globe.
But we need to be asking
ourselves some hard questions,
like why, with all of the data and
technology at our fngertips, did
it take 10 years to fnd bin Laden?
What happens now? In the eyes of
al-Qaida, we’ve created a martyr
— and there’s a valid concern that
this will provoke another attack.
America has some extremely
impressive military technology
at its disposal. Predator drones.
Satellites literally encompass
the globe, providing real-time
surveillance. If you’ve seen
Google Maps, you know you can
see your car in your driveway,
and in some cases, you can see
people as well. And that’s just the
civilian-level snapshots.
The full capabilities of a
military surveillance satellite
are, of course, classifed. But I
wouldn’t be surprised if they
could read off a Post-it Note
you held in your hand. We have
instantaneous information
transfer to any point on the
globe, and we had all of these
capabilities 10 years ago as well,
and we still couldn’t fnd him.
Why? Because, for all of our
vaunted technology, and all of
the advanced capabilities we have,
bin Laden, and terrorists like him,
know how to leave a very small
footprint. A satellite can’t see you
if you don’t go outside. You can’t
be tracked to a given location if
you aren’t seen entering it.
I would argue that the military
needs to focus more on micro-
scale surveillance instead of a
Predator-drone sized vehicle,
something the size of a bird, or
maybe even smaller still.
And a company in California
has done just that.
AeroVironment, a company
that produces unmanned drones
for the military, has developed
a robotic fying machine that
is camoufaged to look like a
hummingbird. Currently, it’s
a rather loud hummingbird,
with twitchy, uncoordinated
movements.
But devices on this scale, with
some development, might one day
pass unnoticed among crowds,
and even enter buildings.
Granted, it can’t carry the
payload of a Predator drone, but
I don’t think anyone will ever
mistake a Predator Recon
Drone for a bird.
Given that
today’s warfare
is trending
toward urban
environments
and
guerrilla-
style combat,
these tiny
devices might
one day make the
difference between a
10-year manhunt and
tech talk

movie review
reel attractions
By Ignatious Schiavo
Weekender Correspondent
C
ombine two of
Hollywood’s top action
stars, an established
high-octane film franchise and a
veritable cornucopia of Brazil’s
finest buttocks and one would
expect their staggering ticket
price to serve as the key to an
equally staggering theatrical
ride. Unfortunately, as common
knowledge dictates, things don’t
always work out as planned.
Vin Diesel and Paul Walker
return to their “Fast/Furious”
franchise with the fifth
installment, “Fast Five.” After
flirting with serious dramatic
roles early in his career, “Multi-
Facial” and “Saving Private
Ryan,” Diesel has settled in to
the big-budget action genre. As
his string of successes would
attest, this seems to suit him
just fine. For the series’ fifth
installment, Diesel is once again
paired with Walker, Jordana
Brewster, Tyrese Gibson and
Gal Gadot. Thus proving that
the first criteria in becoming a
car racer/professional thief is to
be frighteningly attractive.
Incarcerated again, Dom
Toretto (Diesel) is sprung by his
associates during a daring raid
that involves causing a prison
bus to roll over approximately
17 times. Amazingly, not only
does Toretto escape uninjured,
so do the other 20 occupants.
While this is a movie, it is this
blatant disregard for the laws of
physics that tend to detract from
the final product. By trying to
keep the all important PG-13
tag, filmmakers are forced to
avoid such horrible realities as
foul language, sex and violent
death.
Following the escape, Toretto,
O’Conner (Walker) and Mia
(Brewster) meet up in Rio de
Janeiro. After a botched job
makes them the most wanted
humans alive, they call in the
rest of their old team to pull
of one last heist: Stealing the
local drug lord Reyes’ (Joaquim
de Almeida) $100 million in
cash. Of course, the attention
also attracts the DEA’s top
fugitive retrieval team and their
Terminator-like commander
Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson).
“Fast Five” does not attempt
to break any new ground.
The story is a played-out
combination of the ride into
the sunset after one last job and
let’s-get-the-band-back-together
themes. It references the
Not so ‘Fast’ fifth film

previous films briefly and falls
back into the franchises’ comfort
zone: Car racing. The franchise
would have us believe that there
is an underground car-racing
scene readily available no matter
where you are. They promise a
world teeming with laboratory
constructed engines powering
the most exotic-looking wheels
surrounded by badass gangsters
and their multitude of scantily
clad concubines all consorting to
a thumping hip-hop soundtrack.
While this may be the case in a
handful of locales, safe money
would probably find the race
from “Grease” to be more the
norm for the vast majority of
thrill seekers.
Whatever one’s personal
tastes, there is no denying the
appeal of the franchise based on
the success it has seen at the box
office. It continues to provide
cutting-edge action sequences
and great international locales.
However, the combination of
video game-inspired racing and
hip-hop videos has really run its
course. The story is tired. The
dialogue is laden with inside
jokes and is amateurish at best.
It is saved solely by Johnson’s
channeling of his professional-
wrestling melodramatics as he
still owns it and can really bring
a smile to one’s face with his
over-the-top machismo.
At the finish line, one receives
a healthy dollop of thrill-ride
intensity wrapped in bikini-clad
packaging. Sadly, even the most
ardent Red Bull junkie can’t
get past the fact that it’s a ride
they’ve taken before.

Special to the Weekender
K
elly Cutrone found out
that she was pregnant
on Sept. 10, 2001. The
next day, the most horrif ic
attack against civilians on
American soil took place. On
May 9, 2002, Cutrone gave
birth to her daughter. On Sun-
day, Ava celebrated her ninth
birthday, the day that Presi-
dent Barack Obama an-
nounced that Osama bin La-
den, the man who orchestrat-
ed 9/11, was killed by U.S.
troops.
Of course, Cutrone found
out the news Sunday night in
dramatic fashion: She was in a
New York cab, driving with a
Muslim driver through Man-
hattan with her daughter,
when the news was announced
over the radio.
“(The driver) starts crying,
and we start cheering,” Cu-
trone said on “The Ralphie
Radio Show.” “Martin
(Bell), Ava’s godfather, was
f ilming the whole thing. It
was so bizarre just to have
that split-screen kind of real-
ity for everyone, but at the
same time, you know we all
had to be sensitive about each
other’s feelings because, I
mean, we were in a cab to-
gether going 60 blocks.”
It’s stories similar to that
one which give Cutrone’s new
book, “Normal Gets You
Nowhere,” an appropriate
title. The publicist’s life has
strayed about as far from
“normal” as one can, and she
documents a lot of it while
throwing in various anecdotes
about everything from having
sex with married men to end-
ing traditional, commercial-
ized holidays. Continuing
from her f irst book, “If You
Have to Cry, Go Outside:
And Other Things Your
Mother Never Told You,”
Cutrone offers a perspective
in to her company, People’s
Revolution, the fashion PR
f irm she created. On the
theme of normal, Cutrone
writes that she’s dreaded ev-
ery normal person who has
walked through the doors at
her f irm. But, she didn’t dread
MTV star Whitney Port.
“Whitney’s not so normal!”
Cutrone insisted. “She’s fun-
ny, she’s quirky. She has a
subversive side to her that you
wouldn’t (expect). How can
you be on ‘The City’ and
‘The Hills’ and design a
clothing line and be normal?”

RUMORED RIHANNA
ROMANCE
In a radio interview to pro-
mote his show at the Dunkin’
Donuts Center in Providence,
R.I., on May 4, Usher all but
avoided directly answering a
question by 92 PRO-FM’s
Jessica Schiano on whether
he and Rihanna were in-
volved romantically.
“I’m not on the phone to
dispel anything,” responded
the singer when Schiano
asked him if he was hanging
out with someone whose name
“rhymed with Rihanna.” “You
know, artists, we have friends
… people def initely see
something that might not
always be what you think it
is.”
Rumors began swirling that
the r&b superstars were an
item after the two were alleg-
edly spotted together at the
Coachella festival in Cali-
fornia. A couple of days later,
the two were allegedly spotted
in New York on a date.

T
he ’60s gave us hippies.
The ’70s gave us “Wel-
come Back, Kotter.” And
the ’80s, with shoulder pads,
high-tops and Arsenio Hall,
gave us a source of endless
hilarity that stemmed from the
“anything goes” attitude we
now associate with the era.
Love them or hate them, the
1980s were a decade of stylistic
decadence and contextual hu-
mor, and it is partially because
of that legacy that the 1998
film, “The Wedding Singer,”
was such a box-office hit. This
month, The Music Box Reper-
tory Company invites everyone
to snap on their slap bracelets
and slip into their Members
Only jackets for the live musi-
cal comedy based on the film,
also titled “The Wedding Sing-
er.”
The Tony Award-winning
musical, with a book written by
Chad Begeulin and Tim Herli-
hy, music by Matthew Sklar and
lyrics by Begeulin, originally
made its debut on Broadway in
2006, and the upcoming adap-
tation is the first time it will hit
stages locally.
“It just recently became
available, and since the movie
was a huge hit, I thought it
would be great,” said Dana
Feigenblatt, the director and
box office manager of The
Music Box. “It’s a bubbly, fun
musical.”
Although the stage produc-
tion differs in some ways from
its film counterpart, the basic
story remains the same. Big-
hearted wedding singer, Robbie
Hart, portrayed by John Owen
Kennedy, is dumped at the altar
by rocker-chick Linda (Wendy
Popeck), and later finds himself
falling for girl-next-door Julia
Sullivan, a lovable waitress who
will be embodied by Amanda
Reese. The hitch? Julia is en-
gaged to “Miami Vice” wan-
nabe, Glenn (Ryan Engel).
The story plays out with
comedic genius and no lack of
’80s indulgence, with a cast of
loyal, plucky characters, in-
cluding Julia’s party girl cousin,
Holly (Feigenblatt), Robbie’s
raucous grandma Rosie (Jessica
Werbin) and his eccentric band-
mates, Sammy (Dana Bower II)
and George (Mark Petrole).
Feigenblatt revealed that
although the flick was a hit, she
regards the musical’s exaggerat-
ed nod to the decade that made
John Hughes a household name
as much more entertaining.
“I find the musical to be
much funnier than the movie,
and the songs are so clever,”
she said. “It is so typical ’80s
and makes every ’80s refer-
ence. The story is really cute,
and the whole romance aspect
translates well to the stage
version.”
She added that the upcoming
show does follow in the foot-
steps of its Broadway prede-
cessor, but guests can expect a
little local style to be in the mix
as well.
“We always present our own
adaptation, based on the space
that we have, and we kind of
put our own spin on it and put
our own flavor into it.”
The approaching perform-
ance is also part of a celebra-
tion for the venue’s 30th anni-
versary. Debbie Zehner, presi-
dent of the board of directors,
has been involved for the past
29 of those 30 years, and noted
that while patrons will always
love the classics, like “Hello,
Dolly” and “Fiddler on the
Roof,” it’s shows like “The
Wedding Singer” that help draw
an even more diverse crowd.
“People are always looking
for something new to see, and
shows like “The Wedding Sing-
er’ encourage a younger audi-
ence to be a part of live thea-
ter,” Zehner said.
The past 30 years, which will
be highlighted in an upcoming
revue show, have seen many
creative minds grace the stage
of The Music Box. For Zehner,
providing an outlet for that
local talent is the most fulfill-
ing aspect of hosting perform-
ances, and it’s what makes a
show like “The Wedding Sing-
er” a worthwhile venture.
“I’ve seen young people grow
up at the theater and become
involved in the arts,” she said.
“And I’ve watched what the live
theater does to give these kids
confidence to get up and do
whatever their future might be.
We’ve always tried to educate
as well as perform.” W

novel approach
“
Open City” by Teju Cole is
a thoughtful and mesmeriz-
ing coming-of-age story
about a young man divided. In
his debut novel, Cole shares
with his readers the story of
Julius, who is in his early 30s
when the novel begins.
Readers quickly come to find
that Julius is a Nigerian im-
migrant born in Lagos and
raised in the surroundings of
his Nigerian father. However,
through his identity, Julius be-
gins to tackle questions regard-
ing his maternal ancestry.
The novel takes place in the
late present, but is disrupted by
Julius’ past events of faraway
life in Africa. The locations
vary widely, but much of the
backdrop change is due to the
journey Julius must fulfill — to
seek out his maternal grand-
mother, the only root left of his
German ancestry.
Julius leaves Lagos to travel
to New York City where his
narrative begins to intersect
with the circle of people around
him. While Julius is occupied
with his psychiatry fellowship
by day, he spends most of his
remaining time declining sleep
and all the while, doting on the
adversity present in the world.
“Not long before this aimless
wandering began, I had fallen
into the habit of watching bird
migrations from my apartment
… Each time I caught sight of
the geese swooping in forma-
tion of the sky, I wondered how
our life below might look from
their perspective.”
The character development is
one of the prime aspects of the
book. Characters serve as a
way to test Julius throughout
the novel, in some cases, re-
garding his identity and purpose
in life. Much of the novel is
about the rejection of compla-
cency. But, in being aware of
his identity, Julius comes across
as isolated from others around
him.
There are many reasons why
this novel is near perfect. The
way in which the imagery is
written is best described as a
melding of works from Albert
Camus and Elizabeth Hardwick.
The product of which becomes
compounded into abrupt, raw,
and beautiful language.
Though the book may seem
meditative and somewhat long-
winded at times, there are many
events that shatter the readers’
perception of Julius, enough to
make one question just how
reliable a narrator he is in the
novel. Yet, Julius’ detachment
of many events throughout the
novel seems to reveal a coping
mechanism and ultimately pro-
pel the final weave at the end
of the novel.
Cole is one of the most
thoughtful and provocative new
writers to come along in recent
years. Of course, the only nega-
tive aspect of such a successful
book is the significance of the
follow-up. A great novel such
as “Open City” will dictate
Cole’s next project; however,
based on his first attempt, read-
ers can only anticipate contin-
ued growth.

hether it is because of
the recently celebrated
Easter holiday or from
Lady Gaga’s new single, the
name Judas has surely been
getting a lot of attention lately.
Putting the name in the spotlight
in our area this week is the North
River Theatrical Society as it
prepares to present “The Last
Days of Judas Iscariot” opening
Thursday, May 5 at Arts YOUni-
verse.
Premiering in NEPA for the
first time, the production takes
the audience into a courtroom in
Purgatory, where the ultimate
fate of Judas is to be decided.
With quirky and unique charac-
ters including Mary Magdalene,
Sigmund Freud and Satan as
testifying witnesses and court
officials who have been waiting
decades to find out if they are
going to heaven or hell, the play
is a dark comedy, not to be con-
fused with a biblical story.
“The most interesting part of
the play is the strong situations
and language,” says director Paul
Winarski. “It’s a very gritty and
real portrayal. There’s a lot of
humor and thought-provoking
scenes.”
When deciding on a spring
production, Winarski wanted
something different, something
that hadn’t been done before so
people would have no precon-
ceived notions going into the
theater. Written by modern
American playwright Stephen
Adly Guirgis, the show brings a
new type of production to the
area.
“I read and loved the script,”
Winarski shares. “I did a little
research and was very fascinated
how (Guirgis) approached the
story. It’s a New-York style of
play, and the characters are rec-
ognizable today. He took a very
New-York look at how the sub-
ject matter is portrayed; there’s
lots of street talk. Pontius Pilate
sounds more like a mob boss
than a Roman governmental
figure.”
In fact, the production debuted
in New York City under the
direction of actor Philip Seymour
Hoffman in 2005 and was very
well-received by theatergoers.
Guirgis premiered a brand new,
explicitly-titled play last month
in the Big Apple starring Chris
Rock, so it felt right for the
North River Theatrical Society to
bring his previous success to the
area around the same time.
“It’s refreshing to see someone
do something different,” Winar-
ski explains. “I always try to do
something different from my last
show, and this play is very excit-
ing — it had an excellent New
York response. People are really
starting to notice the playwright
and recognize him. Hopefully
more productions like this will
come to the area.”
The cast of 17 actors and ac-
tresses — many of which are
well-known in the theater com-
munity — have worked tirelessly
to perfect their interpretations of
the characters in the play and
hope that people can recognize
themselves in many of them.
“I have to say that in my ca-
reer, this is one of the finest casts
I’ve ever worked with,” Winarski
says. “They have developed the
characters with their own sensi-
bility, their own understanding.
The kinetic energy they bring to
the roles, especially when they
hit on something and do it so
well, is exciting to watch.”
Even though the production is
not meant to be an actual biblical
account by any means and is
filled with humorous dialect,
audience members should still
walk away with a lesson learned.
“People who come to see the
show will learn something on
how to survive in today’s world
as told through the story of Ju-
das.” W

Going all out
Mohegan mirrors Kentucky Derby activities
with camaraderie, harness racing and more
T
he engine revs, and the starter car
slowly begins to circle the dirt
track, the portable gate attached to
it spreading wide like wings. It gradually
picks up speed, the horses and their drivers
coming out from the sidelines, trotting in
time as they line up side by side, following
their temporary “Pied Piper.” Suddenly the
car snaps forward. The gate closes as the car
speeds off toward the sidelines.
And they’re off!
Celebrating its 46th racing season,
Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs will be
featuring a celebration of the Kentucky
Derby this Saturday, May 7 beginning at 3
p.m., with an early post time of 5 p.m. for
the racing. Throughout the day there will be
various events taking place, such as a hat
contest, live harness racing and a broadcast
of part of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill
Downs in Louisville, Ky., as well as food
provided by Johnny Rockets.
Kelly Connors, racing public relations
manager at Pocono Downs, said that the
Kentucky Derby is a lot of fun for anyone,
and that Pocono Downs is a great spot for
those who want to celebrate it.
“There is so much excitement around the
Derby — from people who are interested
in thoroughbreds or standard breeds, or just
having a good time,” she said. “If you can’t
make it to Churchill Downs, why not come to
Pocono Downs?”
One of the big favorites of the celebration
is the Run for the Roses Hat Revue. Connors
said that they expect a big crowd for the
contest, more than 50 women participating,
and that it will be interesting to see what kind
of hats will be worn this year.
“Some of them are really over the top, and
some are understated,” she said. “It’s just
a classic-Derby staple. Fashion comes and
goes, but the Derby hat is always around.”
Jennifer Starr, racing marketing manager
at Pocono Downs, is also excited about the
hat contest.
“You’d be surprised what people do for
their hats,” she said. “You will see gorgeous
and glamorous hats. You’ll see funky hats.
You’ll see hats with toys on them. People
go all different directions. It’s always been a
tradition to wear a hat to the Derby, it’s just
fun.”
But what would Derby day be without
some races?
As always, Pocono Downs will have live
harness racing throughout the night. Starr
said that the racing is very enjoyable, even
for younger crowds, despite many feelings
that the sport is more of something for an
older audience.
“In the past, people had looked at it as
a sport for a night out for maybe an older
couple to go out to,” she said. “But it’s really
not. It’s a lot of fun to come out. Younger
people are actually looking at it now over
the past few years. And it is a great night to
go out — it’s not very expensive, it’s very
exciting to watch.”
Starr said that it is als
sport where people, eve
each other, will strike u
about the races, cheer f
congratulate those who
Horses and drivers take to the track last week at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs.

so a very bonding
en if they don’t know
up conversations
for other horses and
o had winning picks.
Connors also agreed, saying that a lot of
great people come out to the races, even if
they aren’t very familiar with the sport.
“There is a lot of camaraderie,” Connors
said. “It kind of gives people a reason to
bond and cheer. Even if you don’t know a
lot about it, the people who do are always
willing to share information — talk to you,
tell you how to do things, how they do their
picks.”
But the camaraderie doesn’t just stay in
the stands. The drivers, even though they are
competing against one another, often form
bonds of their own. Andrew McCarthy, one
of the drivers who will be racing the night of
the Derby, said that the friendship is one of
his favorite parts.
“We all love winning races and
whatever,” he said. “There are a lot of really
good people, and you make a lot of nice
friends — lifetime friends.”
McCarthy, originally fromAustralia, said
he has been racing here in the states for four
years now. Also in his fourth year is Matt
Kakaley, who said he hopes that a lot of
people come out for the races.
“Hopefully everybody will come out and
watch,” Kakaley said. “Alot of people don’t
know too much about it, but it’s a lot of
fun.”
And the fun continues with the live
broadcast of the Kentucky Derby itself.
Begun in 1875, the Derby is celebrating its
137th race this year. It is one of the oldest
Thoroughbred horse races in the US, the
Phoenix Stakes being the oldest. The race
has been very popular over the years and
has various traditions such as drinking mint
juleps, an iced drink made with bourbon,
mint and sugar syrup, as well as women
wearing their extravagant hats.
While the Kentucky Derby will be
running for most of the day, Starr said the
live broadcast will be airing at the 6:24
p.m. post time for the million-dollar race
and continue for the post-race coverage.
Afterward, the live racing at Pocono Downs
will continue for the rest of the evening.
Starr said that it really is worth coming
down for the entire celebration.
“I’d love for everyone to come out and
experience harness racing here at Pocono
Downs because it is a lot of fun,” she said.
“Bring a group of friends, sit out on the
patio at night, and watch some harness
racing. It’s a big day, a really big day.” W

hile horse racing has been fairly
popular throughout the country for
years, popularity for racing here
in NEPAhas gone up and down, according
to Jennifer Starr, racing marketing manager
at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. She said
that the Downs, which was the first race track
in the area, is currently seeing a resurgence in
popularity.
“When we broke ground 46 years ago,
it was the place to go,” she said. “We had
thousands and thousands of people here.
Over the years, it’s developed. We’ve
revamped it, added on to it and everything
like that.”
With the addition of the casino in 2006,
which features 2,500 slots, electronic
blackjack, roulette and poker, the Downs
has also done other renovations such as a
$6.5 million paddock and a new patio area,
Starr said. She also said it is trying to have
new events to draw in younger crowds, such
as the new Friday Night Party at the Track,
beginning on June 3, which will involve
racing and free music.
“What people like to do in the summertime
is they like to go and they like to sit outside
and have a drink or two on the patio,” Starr
said. “And that’s what we’re going to try to
win over the people that want to go and sit
outside. Not only will we offer them great
music, we’ll offer them great drink specials
and live racing.”
Starr said that once people see the races
and how fun a night at the Downs can be,
they tend to return.
“They just keep coming back because it’s
so much history and so much to watch.”

T
he Big Apple, the city
where you can order Chi-
nese food at three in the
morning, is one of the most
popular cities to move to. Scran-
ton is making a move to show it
can be electrifying. First Friday
Scranton is an event that supports
artists and invites the community
to come together and enjoy dif-
ferent aspects of art. Businesses
and galleries highlight paintings,
photography, music and perform-
ance art, having something new
every time. New Visions Studio,
a new gallery, will be joining
Scranton to showcase its artists
and show what it has to offer.
Originally based in Taylor, gal-
lery owners Adam Weitzenkorn
and Melanie Boisseau wanted to
start fresh.
“The building was bad and
leaky,” says Weitzenkorn of its
previous location. “We did not
have the best exposure for the
gallery, and it worked at the time.
We were doing welding, and we
were not able to continue with
that because of the space. The
lease was up, we found a good
space in Scranton, and we want-
ed to be a part of First Fridays.
We had a following and people
were wondering where we were
when we first moved.”
With the remodeling of its new
studio and becoming a part of
Scranton, New Visions Studio
will be holding a grand opening
on Friday, May 6 featuring artist
Jessica Diehl and her exhibit
“Petals of Passion.” Diehl’s ex-
hibit shows her new-found pas-
sion for photography in flowers.
Most of the photos were taken at
Longwood Gardens in Kennett
Square, Pa.
“It consists of a lot of nice
floral-type pictures, which will
be nice for Mothers Day,” says
Weitzenkorn.
To have your artwork be a
main focus in a new gallery is an
outstanding accomplishment,
especially for a new artist. Weit-
zenkorn and Boisseau are open
to all artists and believe that
everybody has an artist hiding
inside of them somewhere.
“We accept art from anybody,”
Weitzenkorn says. “We have
group showings in June that
people can submit artwork. We
work closely with the art com-
munity, and we give people a
chance who normally would not.”
Four different galleries will be
participating in First Friday,
showcasing different artists, but
New Visions Studio is different
from other galleries. It offers
classes for kids and adults and
will be opening a store front; it
also sells film.
“We are the only gallery in
around downtown that has work-
ing black-and-white dark rooms
for photography,” says Weit-
zenkorn. “We are going to be the
only place that can buy film, and
we offer classes, a variety of
things from sculpture, creating
tapestry to all kinds of stuff for
adults and kids.
With their new location, Weit-
zenkorn and Boisseau hope to
make a change and bring life,
creativity and people to the city
that continues to grow.
“We are just hoping to make it
work,” Weitzenkorn says. “We
just want downtown to look
better and have open-minded
people. We want to influence this
area. The theater district is get-
ting better and is including more
events for people to participate.
We are just trying to make it
work and help people create what
they want to create and be their
outlet for creativity and fun.”
New Visions’goal in the future
is to continue to grow and make
an impact on Scranton. Not only
does it want to improve the
Scranton city life and art world,
but it wants to open people’s eyes
to new and better things.
“We are looking to grow,”
Weitzenkorn says. “As long as
everything works out and ex-
pands. We now have welding and
sculpture classes, and hopefully
we will take more, plus we have
individual possible artist studios.
We want to grow as much as we
can and not be obverse to any
ideas. We hope to hold music
events for local bands and stand-
up comedy.” W

AGENDA, FROM PAGE 39
but then again ...
By Jim Rising
Weekender Correspondent
I
was up at 5 a.m. Friday
watching the Royal Wedding.
I really couldn’t avoid it. It
was on five of the six TVs in front
of the treadmill I was on at the
gym that is part of my daily rou-
tine. The sixth had ESPN on. No
wedding there, no doubt because
the only scoring will be later on.
Rim shot puh-lease. Not funny?
So sorry.
The images I saw as I sweated
were mostly of the key players
being transported to the church.
In my twisted mind, it reminded
me for some reason of the slow-
motion Bronco chase featuring
O.J. Simpson on the L.A. freeway.
Not sure why, but there you go.
After my workout I turned on
the plasma at home and parked
myself on the couch. I admit, it
was irresistible. I mean it was
getting such attention it must be
important, right? I was drawn to it
like a fat man to a buffet.
Of course, being a red-blooded
American male, I can’t admit
that. The long-suffering wife
observed that I was glued to the
coverage. I demurred, assured her
if I was, it was only to get a co-
lumn out of it, and I would sooner
be having a root canal. She
sniffed and made other signs of
dismissal. I think she may have
seen through me.
No one does pomp and circum-
stance like our British cousins.
Although I have to say that I felt a
little concerned that no less than a
dozen HD channels were carry-
ing what was essentially an event
that could have only one possible
outcome, it was still something to
see. And it was nice to see wall-
to-wall coverage of something
that didn’t end at a cemetery or
was a natural disaster.
Royalty is kind of a mystery to
Americans. Tough to imagine
what that must be like, to live in a
place where the leaders wear
crowns and are considered to be
divine. But the spectacle and
beauty of the ceremony moved
even my flint-hard heart. From
the stately procession of fancy
cars ferrying the princes and the
bride-to-be (Rolls Royce must
have paid for product placement)
to the breathtaking majesty of
Westminster Abbey, it was eye
candy.
The logistics of such an under-
taking are mind numbing. Imag-
ine the armies of technicians it
must have taken. One stat I heard
was $11 million spent on security
alone.
The images were breathtaking,
but as a former radio guy, I
thought that the audio was thrill-
ing. I was spellbound at the beau-
ty of the choir, and the organ was
earth shaking. I would really like
to hear “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida”
on that sucker. The total effect
was rather like watching a cross
between an MGM musical and an
over-the-top Disney movie. It was
almost too perfect. The audio was
only slightly marred by the hor-
rendous background noise and
hiss when they opened the micro-
phones for the ABC commenta-
tors. Probably only a radio guy
would notice.
Some random thoughts: I lost
count at 25 as the number of
times Barbara Walters said “fah-
wytale whedding.” Princess Bea-
trice of York’s hat looked like it
could double as a pink microwave
transmitter tower. She could put
an eye out with that thing. What
do you do with a hat like that after
the ceremony? The Archbishop
of Canterbury should consider an
eyebrow trim. It looked like two
badgers were parked on his fore-
head. Prince William (“How do
you know he’s a Prince?” “He
hasn’t got shit all over him.”
Sorry Monty Python lovers.) had
a little trouble putting the ring on
Kate’s finger. This was noticed
and commented on extensively.
It was hard to watch and not to
think of the missing guest. As
steeped in controversy as Princess
Diana was and as tragic as her
end was, a Mom ought to be on
hand to see her son get hitched. W

Weekender General Manager
Sapphire Salon in Pittston is ruffling
some feathers. Alot of feathers. Only this
type of ruffling has customers coming
back for more. And more. And more.
Because with the recent feather craze
adorned by actresses and rock stars alike,
fashionistas all over the area are nearly
tripping over one another to get inside
Sapphire Salon and come out looking
like a celeb.
Hair extensions have been popular
for some time, and long wavy locks have
been making their way on girls’ heads
to add length and, oftentimes, volume.
But accessorizing hair doesn’t stop with
simple hair extensions.
Feather hair extensions are easy
to apply and offer a fun new look to
hairstyles. Sapphire Salon is all too
familiar with its popularity — it’s done
more than 600 individual pieces since it
got the feathers in store — on April 18.
Selling out of them at both the Pittston
and Shoppes at Montage locations,
owner Angie Morgan recently took a trip
into New York City to purchase more as
the distributors in California cannot keep
up with the demand and get them to her
salon quickly enough.
“Dressing up the hair with accessories
is fun and creative,” she expresses.
Starting as what seemed to be an
unusual fad among celebrities in the
social circuit, more and more mainstream
pop icons started sporting the look.
Ke$ha, Miley Cyrus and even Aerosmith
frontman Stephen Tyler have all been
spotted recently adorning feather
Sapphire Salon fluffs its feathers
extensions.
Available in all sizes for all different
tastes, most of Sapphire’s feathers are
rooster feathers (no animals harmed)
although some of the smaller dyed
ones are synthetic. Depending upon the
material, the extensions can be flat ironed
and reused. Some of the extensions have
a silicone bead at the top of the extension
so as to not damage the hair and can
be left in the hair for about a month.
Other extensions simply clip in the hair
near the root and can be taken out and
reapplied as often as desired.
Sapphire has applied feather
extensions to all age groups and both
sexes with most of the males being local
musicians. With the entire process taking
no longer than 10 minutes, customers can
be in and out, ready for their night out
with their new “dreads.”
In addition to the feathers, Bling
Strings and rhinestones are also being
used to accessorize the hair, both of
which Sapphire Salon carries. Recently,
the salon has seen a lot of brides asking
to be accessorized with feathers and
beads, creating a fun, trendy look to the

e’ve all seen the “clas-
sic” bullies in movies —
they knock books out of
other students’ hands, shove the
geeks into lockers, play devious
pranks on teachers and always
wind up in detention. They chase
underclassmen after school,
knock them around a bit, then
call it a day. The bullied would
walk home, often bruised phys-
ically, always bruised emotional-
ly. The bullied would walk away,
their head hung low.
But they do not walk alone.
Having started a walk of his
own this past Sunday, May 1,
Scranton resident George Ewing
is traveling one step at a time to
Greensboro, N.C. for the first
annual No More Bullies Walk.
The approximately 600-mile
walk, which began with a rally at
Courthouse Square in Scranton,
will close with another rally in
Greensboro on Tuesday, May 31.
Ewing said the event, which
was created to raise awareness
about bullying, was originally
supposed to be just a rally in
Scranton, but evolved into a walk
after he heard the story of Bran-
don Bitner, a 14-year-old boy
from Mount Pleasant Mills, Pa.
who, after walking from his
home in the middle of the night,
took his own life last year after
having been bullied.
“I knew that I had to do some
type of walk,” Ewing said prior
to the start of his journey. “We
had to walk, not only in Bran-
don’s memory, but walk for all
the other Brandons that are out
there in the world right now.”
Ewing said that it is important
to make people aware of the
effects of bullying, especially as
more and more youths are turn-
ing to suicide, now being termed
“bullycide” in these cases. He
said that he was a victim of bul-
lying in high school because of
his weight and good grades, and
eventually dropped out because
of it.
“I was lucky,” he said. “I was
lifted up by friends and family.
There were times that I thought
about taking my life because of
this. I was one of those bully-
cides that could have happened.
That’s why this is important to
me.”
Ewing went on to earn a mas-
ter’s degree in conflict resolution,
and is currently working on his
Ph.D. in conflict analysis and
resolution. He is also a member
of Win-Win Resolutions, a non-
profit organization that works
with youths and their families in
order to prevent and deal with
situations such as bullying
through the use of conflict reso-
lution workshops.
Debra Vigliano, executive
director of Win-Win Resolutions,
said that Ewing’s walk is a great
complement to the programs the
group normally runs, and that it
has gotten a very positive re-
sponse from the community who
want to become part of the solu-
tion.
“We could walk around the
world 10 times, and we’d still
have bullies in our world,” she
said. “As we talk to people, their
own issues and experiences with
bullying come to the surface, and
they’re committed, and they want
to get involved.”
Bullying continues to evolve,
spreading into the world of social
media sites such as Facebook and
Twitter.
“When you got off the school
bus back in my day,” she said,
“whatever you were dealing with
at school, if there was a bully in
the classroom, you left him be-
hind, and you were safe. There’s
no safety zones anywhere any-
more because it’s 24/7.”
Those fighting it have also
turned to the social media sites to
strengthen their cause. Through-
out the walk, updates will be
made on Facebook and Twitter of
Ewing’s progress, as well as
provide information as to how
others can contribute to the
cause, which hopes to raise
$300,000 to help fund the imple-
mentation of programs in schools
against bullying and other issues.
Monica Thomas, founder of
PASS (Parents Advocating for
Safe Schools), has also joined
with the group to help advocate
against bullying in schools. She
said it is important to inform
people that this problem exists
and that there are other solutions
than suicide available to youths
dealing with bullying.
“There’s hope, you can come
out of this,” she said. “You can
survive this. Don’t take a perma-
nent solution to a short-term
problem.” W

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
Criticism is one thing. Full-on abuse is
quite another. While I hope you’re mature
and open-minded enough to receive the
former and allow it to influence your
behavior (if not right in the moment, then
at least after a bit of reflection). I also
hope you’re willing to stick up for yourself
if this crosses the line into outright judg-
ment and cruelty. This may not always be
clear-cut, so those you consider your
friends and allies should help you deter-
mine just where that line is, and help you
fight the good fight if and when it’s vio-
lated.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
Don’t overthink things. Sometimes you
remind me of an old-school Western med-
ical doctor, addressing each symptom of a
problem as it arises (and the symptoms
resulting from the “solutions” you’ve
implemented), instead of trying to simply
discover the root of the problem and nip
that cleanly in the bud. The problem(s)
before you, while currently occupying an
inordinate amount of mental real estate,
have one simple, quick solution, which
will become obvious to you if you can
take about ten steps back to have a gander
at the much bigger picture. The real ques-
tion is: Can you do that? If not, what’s
stopping you?
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
It’s kind of you to be respectful of some-
one else’s emotional state (not inviting
his/her recent ex to a party, for example).
However, eventually your relationships
must be on your own terms. There’s a
statute of limitations regarding how long
you’re required to bend to others’ emo-
tional needs. At some point, they need to
get over themselves instead of keeping
their friends hostage to their drama. You’re
incredibly sensitive and patient — and
even you know this is true. Unfortunately,
this week you may have to drive the point
home.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
People are allowed to change their
minds — they have to be, since they’ll do
it whether they’re allowed to or not. It
would be nice if they could have figured
things out before they’d gone so far (leav-
ing someone at the altar is the extreme
case of such a scenario), but sometimes
they’re simply unable to wrap their heads
around a situation until it’s truly upon
them. This can be confounding to Leos,
who rarely have such difficulty and are
generally forthright about their state of
mind. You can’t impart this decisiveness
on others, so unfortunately you have to
deal with their freaky, changeable minds.
In the end, don’t waste energy wishing you
could change them — it’s too late for that,
even if you could. What happens or has
happened is completely out of your hands;
the only thing you can control is how you
react to it.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Every relationship is different, and you
shouldn’t compare. My boyfriend and I
once ran into an old ex of his, who
thoughtlessly commented, “Does he wake
you up all night to fool around, too?” (He
didn’t.) Naturally, that was a bit of a down-
er, but at the end of the day comparing and
contrasting relationships is a losing propo-
sition, so don’t do it. And if you can’t help
it, at least cut yourself some slack and
conclude that what you have is better:
“No, he doesn’t wake me up — I guess I
just wore him right out!”
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Stuff is just stuff. While I’m sure you
realize that rationally, coming to terms
with it emotionally is sometimes more
challenging, particularly when the material
objects in question were gifts or inher-
itances or otherwise infused with senti-
mental nostalgia. While their worth to you
defies monetary assessment, try to recog-
nize that 99 percent of that value lies
inside your head and can’t be taken away,
even if the object is lost, stolen, or de-
stroyed. Sure the item is gone or ruined,
but its real value is still intact, inside your
head. Try to keep that in mind before you
fly off the handle.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Everyone makes mistakes. Some of
them are even ridiculously stupid, embar-
rassing ones. Yes, you should have known
better, but the sooner you ’fess up to the
mess, the sooner you can rectify the sit-
uation and move past it. Trying to cover it
up or shift blame are the actions of a child;
getting caught doing that — which would
surely happen — would be even more
humiliating, and cause more problems
than just owning the slip-up right from the
beginning. Step up, admit you screwed up,
and maturely begin the process of figuring
out how to best move on from here.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
You can’t control how people react to
situations. Even though you tend to ap-
proach life with a direct, honest, mostly
positive approach, you’ve probably notice
that some people are determined to see the
worst in others, convinced the world is
“out to get them,” positive that anything
that can go wrong, will, or all of the
above. While it’s admirable that you try to
help such cynical souls, sometimes it’s
best to recognize that their habits are so
ingrained that any conflicting perspectives
you try to point out to them will be count-
ed as unusual exceptions to the rule, and
not the way things are.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
When a problem is entirely in your
head, it can still sometimes be very diffi-
cult to distinguish from real difficulties
imposed on you from the outside world; it
seems just as tangible, daunting, and mi-
sery-inducing. And sometimes your lack
of leverage can make it even harder to deal
with successfully. This is when you ask for
help, something most Capricorns despise
doing. Barking orders or making unrea-
sonable demands won’t work out too well,
so resist the urge to save face by trying
those tactics. Instead, humbly and honestly
ask for the help you’ll need, you’ll almost
certainly get it.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
In this case, the best place to live might
lie outside of your comfort zone. In other
words, you’re house hunting in completely
the wrong neighborhood! Exceptions to
rules are frequently fantastic because
they’re just that — exceptional. By not
considering them, you’re severely limiting
your options, and perhaps depriving your-
self (and others) of tremendous happiness.
It’s time to broaden your horizons, think
outside the box and contemplate scenarios
you haven’t dared to imagine before. Most
of those might be ridiculous pipe dreams,
but one is likely to work out beautifully,
and you’ll never know which until you
give them a go.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
Staying neutral isn’t always an option.
Sometimes you quite simply have to pick
sides. Failing to do so will have you lump-
ed in on one side or the other, by default,
whether you like it or not. As annoying as
the whole conflict is for you, at some
point, preferably early on, you need to
realize it’s not going to go away and you
will not be allowed to remain aloof from
it. Therefore you need to dive right in,
draw a line about acceptable behavior, and
then stick to it — even if it means remov-
ing you and yours from the situation alto-
gether if and when that line gets crossed.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
Here’s your mantra for this week:
“Whatever works.” You can get complete-
ly caught up with how things should func-
tion and what might be expected of you in
various scenarios. But sometimes those
ideas are simply unrealistic, woefully
incomplete or not taking into account the
details of your specific situation. Natural-
ly, you can stubbornly cling to those con-
cepts and watch things crash and burn, but
wouldn’t it be better to, for the sake of the
worthy goals you have in mind, be willing
to at least try stuff that could help, whether
or not it “should” be necessary? Failing to
do so would be at best narrow-minded,
and at worst cruelly, needlessly masochis-
tic. W

sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
Weekender Correspondent
T
o my knowledge, I’m the
only person banned from
being on the set of the
television clip show “The Soup.”
It’s all because the executive
producer, K.P. Anderson, thought
it was unprofessional of me to
ask if I could be shot by Joel
McHale with a toy gun. What
was I thinking?
It all started when I was enter-
tainment news anchor for my
college’s television news show.
Each week I delivered the latest
update on what was going on in
pop culture, with a comically
satirical twist. “This is far too
inappropriate,” the faculty ad-
visor in charge of the station
would routinely scream. “You
can’t say that shit!”
I’d often be surprised during
our live broadcasts when some of
my lewd jokes would be omitted
from the teleprompter without
being told. I started adding jokes
so preposterous that I knew
they’d be deleted from the
prompter by the station manager,
allowing the jokes I really wanted
used to appear less indecent and
remain in place.
During that time I would reli-
giously watch McHale for in-
spiration, which is why I applied
to intern at E! I wanted the op-
portunity to grow by working
with the team that produced “The
Soup.” Instead selected to intern
for “True Hollywood Story,” I
was given the opportunity to sit
in on a taping of the show that
once inspired me to combine pop
culture with comedy. Me, a hand-
ful of personally invited guests,
McHale and a little bit of ob-
scene behavior made for an eve-
ning I would never forget — for
reasons other than the fact that I
got my picture taken with my
idol.
“I’m jealous of the intern who
got shot by Joel in a skit,” I
shared with my friend who at-
tended the taping with me. “I
wonder if they’d let me get shot
in a skit?” They say curiosity
killed the cat? Well, curiosity
killed my dreams of getting shot
by McHale with a toy gun, be-
cause the next day I decided to
e-mail the executive producer of
the show and ask.
Incredibly naïve, I thought my
approach should show how funny
I could be. So, I told a bogus
story about how I relocated to
Los Angeles so I could be closer
to Britney Spears, hoping to meet
and party with her because she
made bipolar disorder look like
fun! In retrospect, not funny or
wise! I continued by stating that I
wanted to be shot by McHale in a
skit and topped it off with clip art
of a news reporter in front of a
burning building under the cap-
tion “This Just In!” Let’s just say,
it didn’t go over very well. He
reported me to the head of E!’s
human resources!
“I know this can be a very
exciting place to be,” announced
the head of HR over the phone.
“But you can’t be contacting
these people. They asked me to
tell you that they no longer want
you to attend their show.”
Initially crestfallen, I have
grown to own the fact that I am
the only person banned from
“The Soup!” Though I wasn’t
right, getting banned was a little
extreme! Anderson must have
been stressed out that day. Some
people take an anxiety pill to
calm down when they’re stressed.
As someone who is against tak-
ing any prescription medication,
unless it’s somebody else’s pre-
scription and chased with a Four
Loko, I recommend masturbation
as a resourceful method of reduc-
ing tension. Perhaps if Anderson
rubbed one out in the shower that
morning, he wouldn’t have went
all Demi Lovato on me. Like the
age old question of how many
licks it takes to get to the center
of a Tootsie Roll pop, perhaps
we’ll never know … W

Ride of
the Week
“This car was a stock 1997 Mustang when I bought it
back in 2004,” said Roman, who has since converted the
engine to a Cobra Teksid 4.6-liter, 4-valve dual overhead
cam V-8.
The Mustang also has all the supporting modifications
involved with fuel delivery, air induction and the clutch. It
was dyno tuned using SCT software by Dave Guy of SGS
Performance in Dillsburg, Pa. The car is painted two-tone
in Grabber Blue and Bright White and rides on 17-inch
Cobra-R wheels on Toyo TQ drag radial tires. W

I
n the next few weeks, you’ll
be reading a lot about May
being Motorcycle Safety
Awareness Month. One group
felt that the best way to start
this month off was by having a
motorcycle run and a pancake
breakfast to improve awareness.
Luzerne County ABATE
Chapter President Dave Corby
said that what they are working
on right now to help motorists
to pay attention to motorcyclists
is the “Look Twice Save a Life
Motorcycles are Everywhere”
yard signs. You will see many
of these signs popping up as
we move into riding season.
Despite the weather that we’ve
been having up until now, it’s
not been great riding weather.
As the weather improves the
number of motorcyclists will
increase. Now is really the time
to really start being on the
lookout as you drive.
When I asked him what
makes him most proud of his
work with ABATE, Corby said,
“Teaching my children to get
involved and standing up for
what you think is right or a
worthy cause. With being in-
volved with ABATE, my two
children have learned it takes a
lot of hard work and determi-
nation to accomplish/organize
successful events.”
So what is ABATE? It stands
for Alliance of Bikers Aimed
Toward Education, its mission
statement reads, “An Alliance
of Bikers dedicated to the pro-
tection of the individual rights
of motorcyclists through politi-
cal change, charitable works
and public education.” You can
see from some of the issues
mentioned before that they do
indeed take their work serious-
ly.
One issue that I can really
get behind is the issue of dis-
tracted drivers. We have all
heard stories of people having
accidents because of distracted
driving. Texting, being on the
phone and even reading the
newspaper while driving can
lead to serious accidents. One
of the most common reasons
for motorists having accidents
with motorcycles is “I didn’t
see them.”
The yard signs and other
work that ABATE participates
in tries to educate bikers and
motorists alike to the dangers
of not being totally focused on
their driving. Bikes are way too
easy to miss if you’ve only got
75 percent of your attention on
the road.
What is important about May
as Motorcycle Safety Awareness
Month?
“May being declared Motor-
cycle Awareness Month is a
simple reminder that we are out
there, and we have the same
rights on the road as any other
vehicle,” Corby stated.
Biker’s rights are protected.
On its website, abatepa.org, you
can see that emphasized. One
of the issues at stake here is
the helmet law. Currently, in
Pennsylvania, riders are not
required by law to wear a hel-
met as in some neighboring
states like New York and Vir-
ginia. ABATE states, “It was
never about the helmet, it was
about the choice.” While I
personally believe that everyone
should wear a helmet, Corby
argued that it is about having
the choice to wear or not wear
a helmet.
After the pancake breakfast,
those riders that chose to were
treated to a wonderful ride to
meet up with the ABATE of
Pa. Pike County Chapter for its
annual chicken barbecue. Corby
said that anyone can contact
them either on the website
mentioned above or via their
Facebook page. No matter
where you live, there is a local
chapter of ABATE near
enough.
Some other tips to think
about as more bikers take to
the roads: Obey all road signs
— even the yield signs, stay
off the dang phone, and my
favorite: Stay on your side of
the yellow lines. The lines are
there to separate the road into
two driving lanes; one for you,
and one for oncoming vehicles.
One other point is that this
riding season will see many
more sponsored runs going on.
Be patient, and pay attention to
the traffic control people as
they are out there to make
everyone safe.
So as we move into the rid-
ing season of 2011, let’s make
it a safe year for all people
who share the road. So read
the signs, and practice looking
twice — it may save a life.
Motorcycles are indeed every-
where! W
May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month.
The month
of motorcycles
One of the most
common reasons
for motorists hav-
ing accidents with
motorcycles is “I
didn’t see them.”

The Gamer
By Dale Culp
Weekender Correspondent
I
t’s very rare that we see satire
used to tackle social and
political issues in video
games. This is most likely due to
the fact that video games are still
a young medium, although, I
suspect it has more to do with
the idea that it’s very difficult to
build a game around a social
issue. How do you make it
“fun,” for example, to address
the issue of ending world hun-
ger, helping underprivileged kids
go to college or legalizing same-
sex marriage? How do you make
it appeal to an audience that
might not even care?
For Owlchemy Labs, the an-
swer was a physics-based, 2-D
racing game for the iPhone with
a theme built around the issue of
United States immigration law
reform. They called their game
“Smuggle Truck.”
The story is that “Smuggle
Truck” was born out of the frus-
tration experienced by friends of
Owlchemy Labs who wanted to
immigrate into the U.S. After 12
months of struggling to get in,
what started as a joke — that it
would be easier to smuggle
themselves into the country than
to follow official channels —
quickly grew into a viable game
concept.
In two days, it went from
prototype to working iPhone
game. As levels were built and
graphics were polished, the
largest hurdle would be getting
the game past Apple’s app re-
view board and into the iTunes
App Store.
The premise of “Smuggle
Truck” is to drive a pickup truck
full of illegal immigrants across
the border in the shortest amount
of time while losing as few peo-
ple as possible. It’s a difficult
challenge, requiring a delicate
touch to make sure you don’t
send all of your passengers fly-
ing off the flatbed. Unfortunately
for Owlchemy Labs, as fun as
the core concept might be, that
didn’t make up for the theme
and subject matter of the game.
The app review board rejected it.
Was it the idea of smuggling
illegal immigrants across the
border that the app review board
at Apple, Inc. didn’t agree with?
Or was it seeing the cute, car-
toonish people, including babies,
being accidentally flung off the
back of a truck that they didn’t
like? No one really knows, but it
required some kind of change if
Owlchemy Labs were ever to
hope their game would see the
light of day.
In a show of quick, clever
thinking, the name of the game
was changed to “Snuggle Truck”
and the idea shifted away from
illegal immigrants to cute, fuzzy
animals trying to escape extinc-
tion by sneaking into a zoo. It’s a
far cry from the original idea,
but at least Owlchemy Labs
were able to get their game on
the app store and start making
money from their work.
Meanwhile, for those who
wish to experience “Smuggle
Truck” in its original form, the
PC and Mac version are avail-
able from Owlchemy Labs’
website for $4.99. As an added
bonus, the PC/Mac version also
contains “Snuggle Truck,” allow-
ing you to play both versions.
There’s also an upcoming expan-
sion pack that will add more
levels to the game for free.
“Smuggle/Snuggle Truck”
may end up being a campy,
bizarre way of raising awareness
for immigration law reform, but
it’s also quite brave. The game
has received a lot of negative
press for its subject matter, but
the developers insist that they
were very wary of stereotypes
and took precautions against
offending anyone. Even so, ille-
gal immigration is a hotbed issue
with a lot of folks.
I hope, as video games ma-
ture, and as we learn to embrace
video games as art, that games
like “Smuggle Truck” will be-
come less rare. However, let’s
not forget why we play games in
the first place — to escape from
reality and have a little fun. That
said, I don’t think I’ve ever
played a socially conscious satire
on United States immigration
law reform that was quite this
fun.
