going to trump pretty much
everyone in said book.
To keep with the
concert theme of this letter,
check out our cover story
interview on page 14 with
Kristian Bush of Sugarland,
the band that’ll officially
kick off the summer concert
season here in Northeastern
Pennsylvania this weekend.
Also in this week’s
issue, you can find out,
among other things, that an
area sled-hockey team is
in the works (p. 19), who
exactly Tom Moran of the
River Street Jazz Cafe is
(p. 46) and what the Music
Box Dinner Playhouse has
up its curtain for its 30th
anniversary shows (p. 53).
I hope to see many
of you out and about at this
year’s concerts. E-mail me
at the address below to let
me know what your greatest
concert was, and as always,
thanks for reading!.

There are many reasons
why I love summer, and the
fact that I’m a June baby
is just a small part of it
(especially now that the big
day has come and gone). It’s
not just the cookouts that I
adore, which I very much do,
but I just plum love summer
concert season.
I’ve always been
a big music fan, and I’ve
always gone to a lot of
concerts, a fact that I keep
well-documented in my —
nerd alert! — ticket-stub
book. Sometimes I think I
love putting the stub in the
next open slot almost as much
as I love attending the show,
but that could just be my
OCD talking.
This year, I can’t
wait to add my first Paul
McCartney stub to the book
— the legend’s ticket will be
among quite distinguished
peers: Bob Dylan, Billy Joel,
Neil Young, and of course,
how do I not mention my vast
collection of Poison tickets,
all 14 of them? Clearly I jest
because I have a sneaking
suspicion that Sir Paul is

Online comment
of the week.
Just heard that the people
on Jersey Shore r all from
Staten Isl. As a NJ native, I’m
relieved. Is it true? Is it common
knowledge?

sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
Weekender Correspondent
D
ear Mom & Dad,
There are many stu-
pid things I’ve done
that I probably should have
went to jail for. Some of
them you’ll never find out
about — unless you offer
me money, in which case
I’m an open book. As for
now, here’s one of those
reasons I’m willing to con-
fess to you:
You know that my favorite
roommate ever was the
Egyptian I lived with in Los
Angeles. He was like a fos-
ter brother to me, only nei-
ther of us was ever in foster
care. After three months of
living together, he was mov-
ing to Dubai to conquer a
great career opportunity.
Even though we only lived
together for a few months,
we have memories that will
last a lifetime. One of my
favorite being our last hoo-
rah!
Our apartment was practi-
cally empty as we were both
about to have new homes in
a few days. So, we decided
to get out and have a wild
night at The Standard down-
town. We had our typical
“night out” fun — which
included my roommate
slipping into an Egyp-
tian accent to freak
people out and me
curled fetal position in
an elevator drunk text-
ing everyone in my
contact list that I was
in love with them.
By the time we got
home, we were so
wasted that we were
acting like two Gary
Buseys in the compa-
ny of one another,
which could never be
a good thing.
“Let’s call the cops
and say someone stole
all the furniture!” I
suggested, while dancing on
top of the counter to the
sound of my roommate
screaming things in Egyp-
tian.
“We still have dishes!”
noticed my roommate.
So, we did what any two
Buseys hanging out together
would do. We broke into the
vacant apartment across the
hall and smashed all of the
dishes. We smashed them on
the walls, on the floor,
through the window! We
were destructive as f--ck,
but it felt so therapeutic! A
few days later, we had a
tearful goodbye as we left
our apartment and a shitload
of damages across the hall.
Sorry, Mom and Dad …
breaking into a vacant apart-
ment and vandalizing the
shit out of it is wrong. But
if you ever smash an entire
set of dishes, you’ll under-
stand how awesome it feels.
Your son,
Justin W

the June competition. The win-
ning projects will be those that
receive the most votes.
Voting is free, and people may

ralphie report
the
By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender
F
or those keeping score at
home, Justin Timberlake
is down to his last strike.
A couple weeks ago, “The
Ralphie Radio Show” beat the
New York Post’s Page 6 to a
story about Timberlake bringing
rumored-girlfriend Olivia Wilde
to Southern Hospitality, a bar-
beque restaurant in New York
City’s Hell’s Kitchen district that
he co-created. The pop star and
actress ate alone in a private
room before joining others who
were in attendance for owner
Eytan Sugarman’s birthday
party. Timberlake did not tip his
server.
Well, once again “The RRS”
can reveal that Timberlake was at
Southern Hospitality, this time on
Tuesday night. You might already
know this though, because plenty
of paparazzi followed him there.
Once again, Timberlake ate in
a secluded area; this time sur-
rounded by, amongst others, his
father Randall, Sugarman, and
Mary Kate Olsen.
And once again, the man with
an estimated net worth of $70
million failed to leave his server
a dime.
What makes this whole sit-
uation even more perplexing is
that Timberlake was obviously in
a good mood. Before sitting
down for dinner, he and his dad
took in a Broadway show, “The
Book of Mormon.” After the
show, the cast came down to
Southern Hospitality, and my
source reveals that JT took care
of the bar bill for the Broadway
actors and actresses.
Perhaps Mr. Timberlake was
too busy trying to hit a home run
with Wilde to realize he’s about
to strike out with this whole
Southern Hospitality thing?
Interestingly enough, he appar-
ently also struck out with the
actress, as she’s now linked to
Bradley Cooper.
A KINGS REVELATION
The boys from Bradenton, Fla.
don’t get to spend a lot of time at
home these days, but that doesn’t
mean We The Kings isn’t in a
Sunshine State of Mind. Front
man Travis Clark announced on
“The RRS” that the nod to the
band’s Floridian-roots may serve
as the title for their third album.
“It was created by our bass
player,” Clark said of “Sunshine
State of Mind.” “(Drew Thom-
sen) just said it, and we were
like, ‘Oh, that’s really cool.’”
Clark was home, celebrating
his birthday with family and
friends when he dropped the
news.
“Right now, the tentative (re-
lease) date is going to be late
June,” Clark said. “Obviously it’s
going to be on a Tuesday …
maybe the 28 of June, maybe a
week before, maybe a week
after.”
The first single is called, “Fri-
day is Forever.” No, Rebecca
Black did not inspire the song,
but that doesn’t mean WTK
didn’t have a little fun with
Black’s notoriously-popular
YouTube video in promoting its
own single. Clark says the band
contacted the same company that
produced the “big head” com-
mercials for the National Bas-
ketball Association.
But the band not only used its
own heads, but throughout the
video the faces of everyone from
Charlie Sheen to Angelica from
the popular Nickelodeon cartoon
“Rugrats” can be spotted. As
brilliant as the production is —
Clark says that it will not serve
as the official music video. The
actual piece was recently filmed
in Los Angeles and is available
on YouTube now. W

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
SEE NO ENEMA
A 53-year-old man with failing
eyesight and who had recently
undergone intestinal surgery told
Sonoma, Calif., police that on
Sunday afternoon, May 1, a
woman had come to his home
and instructed him to drop his
pants and get face-down on the
bed so that she could administer
an enema. He said he assumed
his doctor had sent her and thus
complied, and it was over in two
minutes, and she was gone. The
doctor later said he had no idea
who the woman was. (In the
1970s, in the Champaign, Ill.,
area, Michael Kenyon operated
similarly as the “Illinois Enema
Bandit” — and inspired the late
Frank Zappa’s “Illinois Enema
Bandit Blues.”)
THE ENTREPRENEURIAL
SPIRIT!
-- Several funeral homes in the
United States have drive-thru
windows to serve rushed mourn-
ers or those stressed by the parlor
experience. “Not quite as emo-
tional,” said one visitor to the
Robert L. Adams Mortuary in
Compton, Calif., referring to the
need not to linger in the queue of
bereaved, idling motorists. The
Adams facility was even more
popular during the peak of gang
murders in the area, according to
an April Los Angeles Times
report, because the drive-thru
window’s bulletproof glass ren-
dered unnecessary the precarious
indoor service in which gang-
bangers tried to further desecrate
late rivals’ corpses.
FINE POINTS OF THE LAW
Because of a loophole in Mi-
chigan law (which, at press time,
legislators were working to fix),
a winner of the “Make Me Rich”
lottery game in July 2010 (publi-
cized value: $2 million) has been
openly receiving the same food-
stamp allotment he had been
receiving before he won. In May
2011, confronted by WNEM-TV
in Saginaw, winner Leroy Fick
was defiant about his food
stamps. Currently, eligibility is
based on regular income, and
Fick had taken his payoff last
year in one lump sum.
MEDICAL MARVELS
(1) Dugan Smith, 13, is almost
as good as new, having overcome
an extremely rare malignant
tumor on his thigh bone. A sur-
geon at Ohio State’s James Can-
cer Hospital removed the middle
of Smith’s leg, turned the bottom
of it around so that the back
faces the front, and reconnected
the parts. (2) According to a
February report in China’s Wu-
han Morning News, a 55-year-
old farmer from Jiayu county in
Hubei province finally has a
functioning anus. His congenital
condition had required him to
restrict his diet severely and to
“squeeze stools out with his
hands.”
LEADING ECONOMIC
INDICATORS
Good Jobs: (1) Prison Guard
(“the greatest entry-level job in
California,” according to an April
Wall Street Journal report high-
lighting its benefits over a typical
job resulting from a Harvard
University education). Starting
pay is comparable; loans are not
necessary (since the guard “acad-
emy” actually pays the student);
and vacation time is more gener-
ous (seven weeks, five paid). One
downside: The prison system is
more selective (Harvard accepts
6.2 percent of applicants versus
the guard service’s fewer-than-1
percent of 120,000 applicants).
(2) California taxpayers were
also astonished to learn in May
that several beach communities
(led by Newport Beach) pay
some lifeguards more than
$100,000 annually in salary and
benefits. (Generally, those are for
long-time and supervisory jobs;
ordinary “summer job” life-
guards typically make $16 to $22
an hour.)
WEIRD ANIMALS
-- Cat Failing to Know Its
Role: In Cleveland, Texas (near
Houston), a man had to be airlift-
ed to an emergency trauma unit
after losing a fight with a house
cat. He was even armed with a
knife as he took on the beast, but
somehow the attacking cat
caused him to lose his balance
and fall on the blade.
-- Procreation Interventions:
(1) Because female giant tortois-
es are lackadaisical about mating,
the Knoxville (Tenn.) Zoo in
May temporarily moved its two
males, Al and Tex, to Zoo Atlan-
ta to encourage Knoxville fe-
males Patches, Corky and Stan-
dup to yearn for them. Tex, by
the way, is 90 years old, and Al is
130 (and hasn’t had a date since
1983, according to a May Knox-
ville News-Sentinel story). (2)
Hopewell Township, N.J., offi-
cials, responding to noise com-
plaints in April, passed an ordi-
nance limiting rooster access to
hens to only 10 days a year. (The
chickens also must, of course, be
“disease-free.”)
QUESTIONABLE
JUDGMENTS
Oklahoma inmate Eric Torpy
has served only six years of his
33-year sentence for armed rob-
bery, but already he is looking
ahead to the years 2035-2038.
His original sentence was 30
years, but he challenged the
judge that if he was “going
down,” it would be in “Larry
Bird’s jersey” — the number 33
worn by the basketball player.
Judge Ray Elliott then accommo-
dated Torpy by adding three
years. Said Torpy, in May, “Re-
cently, I’ve wisened up.” “I’m
pretty sure (Bird) thinks I’m an
idiot. (T)ruthfully, most people
do. My own family does, so I’m
pretty sure he does, too.”

Box 18737, Tampa FL 33679.
-- Noses Know: (1) In April, two Italian en-
trepreneurs introduced a perfume meant to
evoke the scents of a person’s blood, var-
ying by type (A, B, AB, O) — but with no
actual blood. A prominent member of the
U.S. “vampire community” fondly described
the “intriguing” olfactory sensations of
Type B (the “black cherry, pomegranate
and patchouli infusions”) and Type O
(“raspberry, rose hips and birch”). Another
“vampirist” called the whole idea “cheesy.”

ugarland’s “The
Incredible Machine
Tour” is back.
In 2010, the
country duo of
Jennifer Nettles and Kristian
Bush hit the road months before
the album of the same name
was released. That disc is now a
platinum seller, and Sugarland
is hitting the road with it once
again.
“This year, we kind of get
the victory lap,” Bush said in
an early-May phone interview
with the Weekender to advance
the band’s Saturday, June
18 performance at Toyota
Pavilion at Montage Mountain
in Scranton with opener Sara
Bareilles. “The excitement of
a rock show can happen two
ways: Playing songs you don’t
know, and ‘Oh, my gosh, I know
all these songs.’ Last year was
the first, this year is the second.”
Touring an album before it
is released is a throwback to the
’60s and ’70s when bands were
constantly road-testing new
material. In Sugarland’s case,
the new material that makes up
“The Incredible Machine” was
designed to be played on tour.
“The logic of it is pretty
simple,” Bush said. “What’s
great about this new record
is, even when people haven’t
heard it, the songs are pretty
anthemic and easy to connect
with. They were written to be
played in arenas, auditoriums
and amphitheaters.
“The gist of what we do
as songwriters and recording
artists — and especially having
the joy of doing them live —
our job is to communicate with
as many people as we can. In
order to communicate through
those great big speakers at the
top of the room, you have to be
conscious of what you are and
what you are doing in terms of
subtlety. It’s a little more about
simplicity, which is harder than
you think.”
Creating songs for arenas
doesn’t take place in the studio.
“It happens when you write
the song,” he said. “When we
went to arena-rock shows as
kids, there were some songs that
really worked. It can’t be based
on four or five guitar parts at the
same time. You’ll never hear
them all.”
It took awhile, Bush said, to
figure out how to make records
that connect with an audience,
fit arenas and still work
musically. He learned from
producer Hugh Padgham, who’s
worked with the likes of The
Police, Phil Collins and Elton
John, and from trial and error in
the studio.
“I finally have a grasp on
how to make records that,
wherever you put them, are
enthralling,” Bush said. “That’s
what you’re trying to do in the
studio.”
Not only were the songs
written and recorded with
arenas in mind, the show was
put together to most effectively
bring those songs — and
Sugarland — to the audience.
“It’s really been a beautiful
experience putting this show
together,” Bush said. “We wrote
the record at the same time
we were designing the stage. I
tried to find a reference for it,
like a David Bowie tour. But I
couldn’t find anything. We got
a chance to design everything
together.”
CARRYINGTHE
TORCH
T
hose who caught the
first version of “The
Incredible Machine
Tour” won’t have to
worry about getting a note-for-
note repeat if they come back,
Bush said.
“The show’s changed a
little bit,” he said. “The set and
staging haven’t changed. But the
set list has shifted around a great
deal. We played about half the
record last year. We’re playing
most of the record this year.”
The show is generally about
20 songs with just over a third
coming from the new album.
Three songs from “The
Incredible Machine” — “Stuck
Like Glue,” “Little Miss” and
“Tonight” — have already been
hits. They join another dozen
Sugarland songs that have made
the Country Top 20, five of
which hit No. 1.
Those hits and successful
tours have turned Sugarland
into one of the top country acts;
Nettles and Bush have taken
the place of The Judds and
Brooks & Dunn in picking up
Best Vocal Duo awards from the
Country Music Association and
the Academy Of Country Music
seemingly every year, including
2010.
“First of all, The Judd and
Brooks & Dunn, it’s a real honor
to come after them,” Bush said.
“All four of those people have
worked so hard. That’s the
common thing that they’ve had
we have.”
Sugarland has risen to the top
of the country world in less than
a decade. Originally a trio with
Kristen Hall, who left the group
in 2005, Sugarland formed in
Atlanta in the early 2000s and
released its debut album, “Twice
the Speed of Life” in 2004.
The group has sold more than
9 million albums with another
5 million digital downloads,
making it one of the bestselling
recording artists of the 2000s,
regardless of genre.
Some have taken Sugarland
to task for its pop/rock sound,
calling “The Incredible
Machine” a rock album rather
than a country disc.
Bush doesn’t quibble about
the record having rock elements.
But he said the labels really
don’t mean much to him.
“Alot of that is institutional,
it’s how the industry works,” he
said. “But it’s country music.
The beautiful thing about the
genre is it contains so many
colors.” W

but then again ...
By Jim Rising
Weekender Correspondent
I
must admit I don’t follow
politics. As a matter of
fact, I don’t follow very
much of what the world con-
siders the latest breaking
news. Unless it’s along the
lines of “Northeast Pennsylva-
nia Braces For Tsunami,” I
don’t pay it much heed. My
interests lie somewhere in
between news of the forth-
coming apocalypse and “News
of the Weird:” Off-beat and
quirky stuff. Man bites dog,
dog sprouts wings.
But the latest news cycle
coverage of the story of pa-
thetic Rep. Anthony Weiner
(D-NY), and his Internet es-
capades has caught my eye.
Mostly because he tweeted his
hairless six-pack abs and his
wiener-stuffed BVDs to young
ladies and didn’t, apparently,
get a bite. Or anything else
for that matter. Then the man
who represents 654,360 folks
in Queens and Brooklyn lied
his behind off about it.
I have taught a class about
using computers for a few
years at Luzerne County
Community College, and one
of the most important points
that I try to make to my stu-
dents is that nothing done on
the Internet or, for that matter,
on a computer is private. Ev-
erything leaves a trail, is
traceable and can and will
come back to haunt you, most
likely at the worst possible
time. Ask any pedophile in
jail for downloading his fix
via Limewire or whatever. Or
now ask Rep. Anthony Weiner
D-NY.
Several interesting things
about this whole deal. Mr.
Weiner (I will not, shall not,
stoop to making any “wiener”
jokes Besides, it’s spelled
different) works for New
York, the same state that gave
us “Client 9,” otherwise
known as whore-loving Eliot
Spitzer. At least Spitzer had
the decency to come clean, so
to speak. Possibly there is
something in the water in
New York?
Mr. Weiner is married, at
least until she wises up, to
Huma Abedin, a longtime
personal aide of Hillary Clin-
ton, and the ceremony was
officiated by none other than
I-Did-Not-Have-Sexual-Rela-
tions-With-That-Woman, Bill
Clinton himself. Is it just me?
Or is reality getting too weird
to handle?
Mr. Weiner has steadfastly
refused to resign. He knows
that this story will blow over,
so to speak, and people will
forget and forgive. The next
news cycle will find some-
thing else to blather about. I
am betting you haven’t seen
the end of Weiner — although
apparently several million
have. W

What a Weiner
I
t’s a strange thing, to have
your biggest fear and your
greatest hope revolve around
the idea that you’ll someday end
up washing your hair with hand-
soap in a public restroom. But for
Brian Sella, the charmingly quir-
ky vocalist and guitarist of New
Jersey band the Front Bottoms,
that peculiar love/hate relation-
ship with a nomadic lifestyle, and
the lifestyle associated with tour-
ing, is just another part of living
the dream.
The band, which is composed
of Sella and drummer Matt
Uychich, was recently signed to
indie label Bar/None Records and
will be performing at Scranton’s
Vintage Theater Thursday, June
16.
The Front Bottoms’ self-titled
debut album is scheduled to drop
later this summer, but in the
meantime, the band has given
potential and current fans some-
thing to be excited about by post-
ing a video for the song “Maps”
on YouTube. In addition to show-
casing a catchy hook, the video
also features an underutilized
element in entertainment — a
puppet — which serves to prove
how unafraid the band is to march
to the beat of its own drum.
Or specifically, to the beat of
Uychich’s drumming, which
Sella has described as being quite
loud. Considering the fact that the
band is basically a duo (barring a
few guest musicians, one of
which will be performing with
them in Scranton), and that Sella
plays an acoustic guitar, this has
an impact on its sound.
“It’s semi-acoustic, because
I’m playing an acoustic guitar,”
Sella explained while en route to
a gig. “But Matt slams on the
drums so hard, that they just have
to turn the acoustic guitar basical-
ly all the way up every time we
play. So it is an acoustic show, but
it’s really not. It’s more of an
electric show, which is awesome.”
Sella, who noted that the band
has only performed a cover once
in its entire existence, first heard
the term “front bottoms” in the
movie “Sexy Beast” and fell in
love with its beguiling eccentric-
ity.
“I’m pretty sure it means some-
one’s private parts, but I liked the
way that it rolls off the tongue,”
he quipped. “Actually, I wanted to
make a band because I thought of
that name … I was like now that I
have this awesome name, I’ve got
to do something with it. I was
either going to write a book or
start a band, and I’m not a very
good writer, so the band was my
only option.”
The way Sella comes up with
lyrics comes from the same com-
pletely honest place. He ex-
plained that he finds human
interactions to be fascinating, and
he finds his inspiration in the
subtleties of those communi-
cations.
“Somebody will just say one
sentence that won’t even be in
context, or anything, and it’ll just
kind of stick with me, and I’ll try
to come up with an entire song
based off of one or two lines,” he
said.
And the whole handsoap thing?
That’s from the resonant “Maps,”
and has to do with Sella’s fear and
fascination with following what
he feels is his path. Part of the
band’s appeal is its ability to
balance the quirk with authen-
ticity, which is pretty much
summed up in that lyric.
Talking to Sella, one gets the
impression that he and his band-
mate are just two guys doing
what they love, and their modesty
and gratitude become apparent
when the conversation switches
to the comparisons that have been
made between them and other
bands like Matt and Kim and
They Might Be Giants.
“Anybody that is doing their
thing in music, and able to reach
a large audience of people, is
basically my hero, no matter how
small or big the band is,” he said.
“If you’re able to connect with
people on a greater level through
music, that’s an awesome feeling
… If somebody feels that we will
maybe be able to connect with
people on the same level that they
do, you can’t be mad at that. I’m
super happy about it.” W

he solid black hockey puck
hit the ice and bounced
slightly before settling on
the smooth surface. Stick met
puck, guiding it forward time and
time again in a graceful and
coordinated dance. A quick shot
sent it flying toward a spot on the
wall — the target an invisible
goal. Blades cut thin lines as they
glided around turn after turn. The
player made one final lap, and
came to a stop at the small door
on the side of the wall surround-
ing the rink. Slowly, he got up
from the sled he had been riding,
balancing on one leg as he left
the ice.
Earl Granville lost his left leg
while deployed in Afghanistan in
2008. But that has not stopped
him from participating in the
things he enjoys in life. Instead,
he has adapted to his disability,
and with that has come the begin-
ning of a sled hockey team at the
Revolution Ice Centre in Pittston.
Granville said that he had
played sled hockey as part of his
rehabilitation and really enjoyed
it.
“In the beginning, when this all
happened, I wasn’t sure,” he said.
“It would be up in the air about
me playing sports again. Out of
everything I’ve done sportswise
with a disability, hockey is some-
thing I always came back to. I
moved back home to Pennsylva-
nia and thought I’d maybe try to
get a team here.”
He said he began going to the
Revolution Ice Center, where he
met Ed Von Lumm, director of
marketing for the facility. Togeth-
er, the two began making plans
for a team and were soon joined
by Miguel Such, who Lumm said
is in a wheelchair from a traffic
accident.
While the team is still in the
works and has yet to be named,
Granville said there are a few
people interested in it.
“It’s building slowly, but we’re
gonna get there,” he said. “I’d
love to get in touch with the
disabled community in the area
and see if they would be in-
terested in playing as well.
He said he feels that this is a
great way for members of the
disabled community to enjoy
more aspects of life that others
would not think they are capable
of and spread the message that
just because someone is disabled
doesn’t mean they aren’t capable
of playing sports.
“As a disabled veteran, people
look at my disability as maybe
I’m very dependent on other
people,” he said. “I think hockey
has helped to give me my own
independence. No matter what
happens to you in life, it’s not
going to be the end. You can still
take care of yourself. You can
still live an active, independent
lifestyle, no matter what your
injuries are or what life will
throw at you.”
Granville said he not only
plays sled hockey, but snow-
boards, hand cycles and scuba
dives as well, and plans on going
mountain climbing. But for now,
he said he is not planning on
working on other sports teams
for the disabled and just wants to
get the sled hockey team up and
running. He said there are plans
for a possible tournament this
summer, and he hopes that peo-
ple come out to support the team.
“When we start getting our
tournament dates set up and team
going, come on out. Check us
out. Come support sled hockey
and see what a wonderful sport it
is.” W

novel approach
L
ucy Hull is not your ordi-
nary librarian. Outside her
bookish ways and love for
all things literature, she becomes
the sole person to not only em-
brace individualism, but also seek
freedomfrommonotony.
In “The Borrowers,” by Rebec-
ca Makkai, writers are introduced
to a tiny fictionalized town in
Missouri where 10-year-old Ian
Drake desperately seeks adven-
ture and knowledge without filter.
Ian is trapped in a bubble com-
posed of hypocritical ideology
and suppression. Much of his
knowledge stems subliminally
fromparents who deny himnear-
ly everything but a list of ap-
proved and disapproved. Lucy
becomes the one person who
helps Ian in pursuit of his happi-
ness and individualism.
While Ian would much rather
be like his counterparts —bois-
terous and venture seeking, his
mother denies himmany free-
doms in order to achieve greater
good by ridding all possible
“evils” around her son. Those
evils include, but are not limited
to, progressive theories and be-
liefs outside the strict Drake
family fundamentals, with topics
including historical turning points
such as Darwin’s theory of evolu-
tion and themes of magic, science
fiction and culture.
The novel, though seemingly
lighthearted, exhibits some rather
adult themes, especially regarding
Ian’s Christian fundamentalist
upbringing. However, Makkai
does well to balance the serious-
ness of such themes by incorpo-
rating exploration and hope.
There are many literary refer-
ences embedded throughout the
book. Especially notable is the
nod to Roald Dahl, author of
“Matilda.” Similarly, Lucy is
reminiscent of Miss Honey, only
with much added quirk.
Throughout the book, readers
can observe that Lucy’s life im-
itates her work. For example,
when describing her residence,
readers see books stacked high in
corners of her home —Lucy
having read themall if not more
than once. Readers also come to
understand that Lucy escaped
fromher family. Raised as the
daughter of two taxing parents in
Chicago, she moved to Missouri
to find a life of her own. In many
ways she seems alone, like Ian,
but together, they become an
unlikely pair.
Once Ian begins to realize that
the list of disapproved offsets
approved, he runs away. The
home he leaves is one he was
never comfortable with, making
himin many ways similar to
Dahl’s Matilda. However, while
similarities do exist between the
characters, Makkai’s novel re-
mains more inspired than any-
thing.
As a newcomer, Makkai is
well-read and has great ability to
compose a novel with staying
power. Evidence of such is gar-
nered fromher vivid and captivat-
ing storytelling, which becomes
difficult to stop reading. “The
Borrowers” is a sentimental book
with many messages, among
them, to seek individualismno
matter what the cost.

movie review
reel attractions
By Pete Croatto
Weekender Correspondent
Director J.J. Abrams (“Star
Trek”) has mastered a forgotten
art: Creating a summer
blockbuster with soul. His latest,
“Super 8,” is really a revealing
character study punctuated by
bursts of excitement. Dialogue
matters. Characters aren’t
created solely to run away
from explosions. You don’t get
bombarded with spectacle —
you care what happens to the
people onscreen.
For a generation of
moviegoers raised on CGI,
“Super 8” is a revelation.
Moviegoers over the age of
30 will revel in the Steven
Spielberg-inspired tactic and
wonder why it ever went out of
style.
It’s the summer of 1979 in
working-class Lillian, Ohio,
where young Joe Lamb (Joel
Courtney) is going through a
rough patch. He’s clinging to
the memory of his dead mother,
while his deputy father (Kyle
Chandler) looks at him as
an obstacle from his job and
crippling grief. Thankfully, Joe
has a few distractions, including
helping his friend Charles (Riley
Griffiths) on his zombie film.
Charles decides that his
script needs a love interest,
which requires the services of
middle school dish Alice (Elle
Fanning). Her first scene is
shot at the train station, and the
covert midnight shoot starts
strong. Alice is outstanding, and
an approaching train promises
atmosphere. The excitement
turns to terror when a car
drives into the train, causing a
spectacular derailment.
Running for their lives
between plummeting scraps of
flaming metal, the cast and crew
emerge unscathed. Questions
emerge after the adrenaline
subsides. Why did the kids’
biology teacher drive the truck?
What are all those white,
weird-shaped cubes? Soon
people go missing, car engines
and microwaves disappear,
and Deputy Lamb can’t get
straight answers from military
personnel.
Something is askew, and
Joe and his friends have seen
something huge, but what
exactly? Abrams’ restraint
is what makes “Super 8” so
compelling. It’s not until the last
20 minutes that we see exactly
what is terrorizing the town. Not
Spellbinding ‘Super 8’
Is this subtitled ‘Ace Ventura III?’
Opening this week:
“Green Lantern,” “Mr. Popper’s Penguins”
Opening next week:
“Cars 2,” “Bad Teacher”
“Mr. Popper’s Penguins” “Bad Teacher”

Rating: W W W W
Well, that’s one way to get your students
pay attention …
From right, Kyle Chandler as Jackson Lamb, Joel Courtney as Joe Lamb, Elle Fanning as Alice Dainard and Ron Eldard as Louis Dainard) in ‘Super 8.’
every clue means something.
The mystery builds, we become
invested in what’s happening,
and then pow! —Abrams jolts
us. Special effects are used
sparingly, but effectively.
It’s almost as if the director
wants us to pay attention.
Abrams’ script subtly and
constantly offers insight to
the characters. Alison’s father
(Ron Eldard) is clearly the
town screw-up. It’s never said
outright, but the shabby home
and his Iggy Pop haircut give
it away. When Deputy Lamb
and his men talk strategy over
pizza, slices reserved for Joe get
eaten. It’s a little reminder that
the kid has to fend for himself.
Alice’s performance at the train
station is all that Joe — and
everyone else — needs to fall in
love with her. When Alice begs
Joe not to let Charles destroy
his model train for a pivotal
scene, we know the feeling is
mutual. It helps that the acting
is uniformly excellent. The kids
act like kids (even Fanning); old
pros like Chandler and Eldard
alternately show and hide their
frayed edges like any normal
adult.
Spielberg served as a producer
on “Super 8,” which is fitting.
It feels like the kind of movie
he used to make, an honest-to-
goodness adventure that opens
our eyes to the value of story
and gooses our imagination. The
great director’s presence makes
it clear that he views Abrams as
the next great multiplex hope.
It’s not a wasted endorsement.

eality and art are like
rebellious twins.
They’re similar in
appearance, but constantly try
to alter themselves to abstain
from being like the other. No
matter how many attempts to
avoid the inevitable, they still
manage to influence their coun-
terpart.
In this case, the theatrical art
of professional wrestling has
affected the lives of many. This
was made evident when fans
mourned the recent passing of
professional wrestling veteran,
“Macho Man” Randy Savage.
Instead of sporting a tuxedo,
fogging up the lens of black
shades and sitting through mo-
ments of silence, five bands
from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
area — Stephen Bloom of Sky-
hook Mandate, Vice and Virtue,
Donnie and Steve from The
Amadans, Down to Six and
Silhouette Lies — are going to
suit up like “Macho Man” did,
and celebrate his life, rather
than mourn his death.
On Friday, June 17, New
Visions Studio & Gallery in
Scranton is hosting the five
local bands to perform in an
event titled, “Wrestle & Rock:
A Punk/Metal Tribute to ‘Ma-
cho Man’ Randy Savage.”
Adam Weitzenkorn, the own-
er of New Visions Studio &
Gallery, said music is an appro-
priate way to tribute the late
wrestler.
“Music is just another form
of art,” Weitzenkorn said. “It
gets people engaged and in-
volved.”
In what Weitzenkorn antici-
pates to be an “all-out party
atmosphere,” the wrestling
theme is going to be pushed to
the limit. “I love the theme a
lot. It’s really going to work,”
he said, adding that he’ll be
dressed up as “Macho Man” on
the night of the event.
Weitzenkorn hopes he isn’t
the only one in wrestling attire.
He said that attendees, as well
as members of the performing
bands, are encouraged to dress
up like wrestlers. If suited like
a wrestler, the guest will get a
discounted admission fee at the
door.
Not only is wrestling attire
encouraged, but the perform-
ances will also feature some of
the same theatrics as televised
wrestling programs.
“We build up for a fake
championship thing,” Rafael
Pimentel, the guitarist for Sil-
houette Lies, said. “We were
even thinking about having a
fake belt that the bands could
compete for.”
Pimentel grew up watching
wrestling and said that the
motivation to pitch the idea to
Weitzenkorn came from a pre-
mature flier that his friend,
John Novak, made.
“The flier is of ‘Macho Man’
elbow-dropping a dinosaur,”
Pimentel said. “John always
makes funny fliers. So we built
a show around it.”
Originally created on a “dis-
gustingly ugly lime-green pa-
per,” Novak credited current
relevance as his motivation to
create the flier. “Basically it
was because of the time,” he
said.
According to Novak, “Macho
Man’s” popularity was a big
factor in the decision to pitch
the event. “He’s a pretty cool
dude,” Novak said, “a lot of
kids liked him, and he had a
lot of endorsement deals.”
Weitzenkorn agreed.
“He was one of my favor-
ites,” he said. “I was a Hulk
Hogan guy, but you can’t be a
Hulk Hogan guy without liking
Randy Savage.”
Recognizing the popularity of
professional wrestling and peo-
ple’s tendency to hold on to the
past, Weitzenkorn said that the
timing is perfect to have this
event.
“Everyone in the land used to
watch wrestling, especially in
the ’90s,” Weitzenkorn said.
“Years after, nostalgia kicks in.”
Whether it’s nostalgia, honor-
able respect to a wrestling icon
or simply a pursuit of a good
time, it seems as if the rebel-
lious twins occasionally come
together and create moments as
well as new experiences.
“We played so many shows,”
said Pimentel. “After awhile it
turns into the same show over
and over. Why not try some-
thing different?” W

Eclectic and dramatic, English singer/
songwriter Kate Bush is not just another
lemming in a sea of followers, latching
on to whatever genre is selling the most
on iTunes. So it stands to reason that
when she releases an album, her fans
want to hear something new. And while,
technically speaking, the songstress’s
“Director’s Cut” is an all-new sound,
it’s not actually new music. Rather, it’s
essentially a revamp of 11 tracks from
some of her past albums.
At first glance, “Infected,” the eighth
studio album from Swedish thrash/
power-metal band Hammerfall, may
appear to be a great addition to one’s
collection, but it soon becomes apparent
that it’s a prime example of how a band
can aim high but come up woefully short.
Metalheads are typically some of music’s
most rabid fans, and it takes more than
just a few heavy riffs and some stock
dark imagery to please them — and
The ukulele is an underutilized
instrument. Or at least, it seems
like that must have been what
Eddie Vedder was thinking
when he decided to dedicate his
entire second solo album to the
Hawaiian relic. “Ukulele Songs,”
with its disarmingly accurate
title, dropped late last month
and proves that the Pearl Jam
frontman and guitarist is capable
of a lot more than melancholic
grunge music.
The ukulele is an odd choice of
accompaniment in any case, but
especially when it’s basically the
only accompaniment. For Vedder,
though, bucking all standards of
tradition and normalcy is nothing
new, and his embrace of such

“Infected”
Alot of the songs on “Director’s Cut”
have very different ambiences about
them, which is to be expected from a
compilation of sorts, but they all feel like
they’re coming from starkly different
places. To go from the deeply lulling
melodies of “This Woman’s Work” and
“Deeper Understanding” to the sexy,
Nine Inch Nails-feeling song “Lily”
wouldn’t be confusing for the ear, except
for the fact that there are also songs like
the up-tempo “The Red Shoes” thrown in
the mix.
At the same time, credit is due for
lending an updated sound to some of
the otherwise dated tunes, especially
“Rubberband Girl.” Most of the
songs also have a softer feel to them
and, as usual, her wispy vocals carry
on symphonic rhythms smoothly
throughout.
As individual cuts, the recordings
don’t disappoint, and usually surpass
the quality of their predecessors. But
the entirety of “Director’s Cut” begs the
question: Why? If she was capable of
recreating (and sometimes, completely
changing) these songs, why wasn’t Bush
interested in creating brand-new music?
While that query lingers, “Director’s
Cut” is a fresh, if not that exciting, take
on favorites that serves to help Bush
maintain her status as the quirky doyenne
of progressive rock.

“Infected” likely may not do so.
While the album starts out strong
with the apocalyptic “Patient Zero” and
the anthem “B.Y.H.,” the quality of the
songwriting drops off rather quickly, and
despite some great hooks and powerful
riffs, it becomes rather mundane. While
some metal bands can use mythic
imagery and fantasy and write great
songs around it, Hammerfall tries to but
just doesn’t seem to have the talent to
make it work. Tracks like “The Outlaw”
and “I Refuse” are barely tolerable due to
some great guitar work, and quite a few
others (such as “One More Time”) make
the listener want to press the skip button
almost immediately.
Despite its high points, “Infected” is
pretty disappointing. While the music
itself is good, even great at times, the
cartoonish nature of the lyrics just makes
it too difficult to take this band seriously.
Whether that’s due to a lack of creativity
or that the Swedish band is writing for
an English-speaking audience without
fully grasping the language is uncertain,
however in the end it makes “Infected”
an album that will quickly find itself
relegated to the bottom shelf, if one even
bothers to purchase it in the first place.
-- Michael Irwin
Weekender Correspondent
a limited forum is therefore no
surprise. What is surprising is
how well he does with his odd
choice. On the first listen, all of
the songs, which are quite short,
sort of bleed together, because
of their overall similarity. But
it eventually becomes apparent
that his talent is in his ability
to manipulate his instrument to
make the songs sound subtly
different from one another.
The gleeful “Once In AWhile”
conjures images of grass skirts
and blue waters, as Vedder uses
the ukulele in its truest form,
while “Sleepless Nights” is a
cloying little lullaby and “Can’t
Keep” is a blissfully frenzied
arrangement.
The lyrics are what really help
to define “Ukulele Songs” as the
introspective undertaking that
it is, and with them, Vedder’s
quietly reassuring and familiar
voice takes a calmer, gentler
range than on the usual Pearl Jam
hits.
“You’re True” is full of sweet,
rhythmic words that lend Vedder
an endearing aura, while the
wistful lyrics in “Sleeping By
Myself” and “Goodbye” carry
just the slightest hint of emo
edge.
“Ukulele Songs,” in theory,
could be seen as the cliché rock
star taking a stoic step back from
a hard and steady career, and that
probably wouldn’t be entirely
untrue. That said, it’s also a
departure from the expected, and
a welcome one at that.

hen some of the guys
in the band CORRUP-
TION were born,
groups like Twisted Sister, Mot-
ley Crue and Poison were in
musical limbo and were still
suffering from the ’80s back-
lash that accompanied the
grunge movement of the early
’90s. Their heyday, it seemed,
had passed, and it wasn’t until
the late ’90s and early 2000s
that many hard-rock bands from
that era would enjoy a revival.
No matter. The young musi-
cians that comprise CORRUP-
TION still gravitated to those
groups, and today, they play
such music in clubs throughout
NEPA.
Formed two years ago, COR-
RUPTION features Jack Daven-
port on guitar and vocals, Jeff
Symons on guitar and vocals
and Gary Park on drums and
vocals. The band’s newest addi-
tion, bassist and vocalist Kyle
Morris, joined the group this
week. A youthful project, the
band’s members range in age
from 15 to 20 and also names
acts such as Def Leppard,
KISS, The Who and AC/DC as
favorites.
“We were brought up on
music around our parents and
around other cover bands that
we’ve seen,” says Davenport,
adding that local acts such as
Bad Hair Day and M80 have
taken them under their wings.
“It’s fun music to play, it has a
really good rhythm, and when
you play stuff from the ’80s,
people like to dance. And when
the crowd’s having a good time,
we’re having a good time.
“We do songs all the way
from Johnny Cash to Metal-
lica,” he adds. “We do a big
range of music, so that every-
body — when they come out
and see us — they all have a
good time.”
In addition to area clubs,
CORRUPTION has also played
local events such as Scranton’s
St. Patrick Day’s Parade and the
Plymouth Kielbasa Fest.
Though mainly a cover band,
Davenport says the group offers
a few originals from time to
time. And of course, there’s
also CORRUPTED KISS, the
band’s tribute to KISS. Though
they’ve only slapped on the
greasepaint three times, it’s
something they enjoy doing on
occasion.
“Before we played up at the
Hilton on St. Patrick’s Day,”
says Davenport, “we were
thinking, ‘What can we do that
they will definitely remember
us by? And we decided to do
something with KISS. So we
went out and bought all of the
costumes, came up with a set-
list of KISS songs, got all of
the moves dialed in, and every-
body loved it.”
Davenport admits performing
in full KISS regalia feels in-
credible and adds that they’ll
do it again in October at the
Banshee in Scranton.
“When you’re up there with
the makeup and the boots, you
tower over people, and you feel
like you’re on the top of the
world,” he says. “We’re on
stage trying to imitate the guys
as best as we can. I’m smash-
ing guitars at the end of the
night. Our bass player does the
blood. It is empowering.”
Still, most of CORRUP-
TION’s shows are your basic
rock ’n’ roll gigs featuring a
wide variety of fun and vintage
rock. And so far, Davenport
says that’s been plenty enough
to connect with local music
fans.
“Sometimes, we’ll go out to
dinner, and people will be
wearing our T-shirts,” he says.
“Or, if the people we’re with
are wearing our shirts, we’ll
have complete strangers coming
up to the table saying, ‘You
guys know that band? They’re
really good. Can’t wait to go
see them.’ That kind of boosts
our energy to get out there and
keep doing it.” W

Tips
By Janelle Engle
Special to the Weekender
from a
barbie chick
W
ith the weather as
bipolar as it’s been
lately, the task of
choosing an outfit that fits
both my mood and the current
conditions grows even more
daunting every morning.
On one hand, I have an
array of sunshine-friendly sun-
dresses, skirts and shorts just
waiting to be exposed after
being shoved to the back of
my closet for the chilly winter
months. At the same time, my
legs are telling me that in
order to avoid those shivering
prickly goose bumps, it’s best
I keep them underneath clothes
for a little while longer.
Well, I’ve come up with an
easy solution to silence both
parties: Over-the-knee socks,
usually known for being part
of a school girl’s uniform, are
now instead the perfect transi-
tional item for those not-really-
cold-yet-barely-warm days.
They give you the opportunity
to finally show a little skin for
the spring, but aren’t going to
leave you shivering the whole
night. Best of all, there are
very few things over-the-knee
socks don’t go with, and the
freedom is up to you if you’d
like to make them more or
less casual.
With that being said, it’s
best to avoid white cotton
ones since they are too similar
to the original school-girl look
and can look costume-y.
Choose lightweight, breathable
fabrics in solid colors like
dark blues and blacks.
If over-the-knee socks aren’t
extreme enough for you, thigh-
high stockings take a similar
look to the next level. Aban-
don those tights you’d normal-
ly wear underneath a sassy
party dress and try black thigh
highs instead for a sexier,
going-out look that will keep
you cool as well. W
Larksville native Janelle
Engle will attend The Art
Institute of Philadelphia for
fashion merchandising this
fall. She writes this column
every other week.
Over-the-knee socks are a great way to stay warm in
finicky NEPA weather. PHOTO BY MATT HANNON

Ride of
the Week
Mike Sweeney recently moved to the area from
New Jersey and brought his 2004 Subaru with him.
“I’ve owned this car since it was brand new
and stock,” Sweeney says. “Since then, I’ve been
making changes to put more of my original stamp
on it.”
Sweeney added the carbon-fiber hood addition,
an EVO 3 turbo upgrade, a Walbro fuel pump, 650
injectors, as well as an HKS power exhaust and
TEIN high-tech springs. This summer, Sweeney
plans on doing a DynoTune, which will hopefully
get the car up to 300 horsepower. W

Weekender General Manager
T
wenty-four-year-
old Christina
Galdieri just
might be the
perfect definition of
“ambitious.” Working for
the Dave Magrogan Group at
Kildare’s in Scranton and Doc
Magrogan’s Oyster House at The
Shoppes at Montage, Christina also is
employed at Lackawanna College and
is busy starting her own company,
which provides marketing consulting,
graphic design, packaging
development, website design and
more.
And on top of her hard work and
lofty goals, she still manages to look
fabulous despite her whereabouts on any
particular day. So I asked Christina some
questions about her stylish ways and
how it all comes together on such a busy
schedule.
WEEKENDER: Where is your
favorite place to shop?
CHRISTINA: Online or near
Philadelphia. I want to complement my
personality. I want different. I get more
compliments on boutique clothing/
accessories than designer brand clothing/
accessories!
WEEKENDER: What’s your
favorite accessory?
CHRISTINA: Long necklaces, black
and silver.
WEEKENDER: What are your
favorite brand names?
CHRISTINA: Coach purse; True
Religion/Express jeans; Guess/BCBG
shoes.
WEEKENDER: How would you
describe your look?
CHRISTINA: Casual/dressy … I can
wear flip flops during the day and throw
heels and a few accessories on at night.
WEEKENDER: If you could redo
your entire wardrobe, what would
you fll your closet with?
CHRISTINA: New York Fashion
Week.
WEEKENDER: What’s one item
of clothing you could never part
Style Pick:
Christina
Galdieri,
Scranton
with?
CHRISTINA: My Guess stilettos
— I had them since my second year of
college in 2008.
WEEKENDER: How do you go
about choosing your outft for the
day?
CHRISTINA: Thinking my whole
day through, Figuring out who I am
meeting, where I am going, etc.
WEEKENDER: Do you have any
fashion pet peeves?
CHRISTINA: Socks and sandals!
WEEKENDER: What do you feel
you look best in?
CHRISTINA: It depends. I think
leggings are best for my skinny legs.
WEEKENDER: What’s your
favorite comfy outft?
CHRISTINA: Yoga pants from
Victoria’s Secret.
WEEKENDER: When did you
start to develop your own sense of
style?
CHRISTINA: About two months
ago (laughs). I used to wear T-shirts and
hoodies with jeans and a baseball cap.
Abercrombie & Fitch and DC were on
me almost every day.
My best friend is the one who had me
try on a few different things at her store,
and ever since then, I could actually
put together an outfit for myself. I sit
behind a computer most of the day,
so now, when I finally go out, I can
dress to impress and feel confident and
sophisticated.
WEEKENDER: If you could
shop anywhere in the world, where
would you go?
CHRISTINA: Paris (plus, I wouldn’t
mind a little sightseeing). W
in?

om Moran of Kingston is a
chef, talent buyer and talent
developer. Most likely you’ve
seen him at the River Street
Jazz Cafe in Plains Twp.
where he works, but this music
and food connoisseur has
been involved with the local
entertainment and dining scene
for years. When he’s not at the stove or discovering
bands, he enjoys walking his dog and bike riding.
And perhaps due to his outgoing personality, one
might not know that Tom loves to be alone. Delve
into the guru of jam, the boisterous Tom Moran.

Craziest thing you’ve ever done:
Jumped out of a plane with 30 Marines at Camp
Pendleton — and landed miles away from the target
landing.
Best concert you’ve been to and why:
Neil Young’s Bridge School Benefit in Mountain
View, Calif., because of the lineup of Tracy
Chapman, Crosby Stills & Nash, Tom Petty and Neil
Young.
What did you want to be when you

The Gamer
By Dale Culp
Weekender Correspondent
O
ne of the longest running
jokes in the video games
industry is getting the last
laugh. After spending 14 years in
development hell, “Duke Nukem
Forever” has finally been re-
leased. But I realize, maybe not
everyone knows why this is a big
deal. Allow me to explain.
A little less than 20 years ago,
first-person shooters were still a
new phenomenon. You had
“Doom,” and then, you had
games like “Doom.”
Of course, “Doom” wasn’t the
first first-person shooter, but
neither was “Wolfenstein 3D;”
nor was that other game you’re
thinking of. In fact, if you do a
little research (ahem, Wikipedia)
you’ll discover games you’ve
never even heard of that are
regarded as the first first-person
shooters, and then you’ll spend a
lot of time bogged down in what
does — or doesn’t — make a
game a first-person shooter. But
none of that is relevant. All you
really need to know is that
“Doom,” id Software’s most
famous creation, changed video
games forever.
For a long time, “Doom” was
the game to beat. It was a fast-
paced, high-intensity action game
that had you attempting to sur-
vive by killing dozens of demon-
ic creatures from Hell as they
came at you from every angle.
Beyond that, though, there wasn’t
much to the game. Usually, you
were just searching for keys to
unlock doors and escape the
labyrinthine levels. Rival game
studio 3D Realms imagined that
the genre could be much more,
so they set out to prove it.
Released in 1996, 3D Realms’
answer to the “Doom” series was
“Duke Nukem 3D,” a sequel to a
series of side-scrolling platform
games that featured the titular
character as he fought off aliens.
Given the “3D” treatment, the
third game in the series was a
first-person shooter, played
through the eyes of Duke as he
kicked alien ass, objectified
women and inflated his ego to
impossible levels. The game was
a resounding success.
What made “Duken Nukem
3D” so popular was that it at-
tempted to go beyond the simple
mechanics of games like
“Doom.” It was a world you
could explore, not just textured
walls that contained a wave of
enemies to shoot at. Hidden
passageways, interactive objects,
weapons that were fun to fire and
other elements that existed for no
other reason than to show off
what could be done in a game.
The icing on this technological
cake was Duke, himself — a
crude, testosterone-soaked ego-
maniac that appeals to the basest
ideal of the alpha male. However,
as disgusting and tasteless as his
behavior was, it was all in good
humor. Duke Nukem is a parody
of ’80s action-movie heroes.
I admit, I wasn’t much of Duke
fan when the game first came
out, but as a geeky teenager who
was a little too short and a little
too round, I certainly appreciated
the irony of playing an action
movie tough-guy who doesn’t
take crap off’a nobody, who
laughs in the face of danger and
summons women to his bed just
by flexing his biceps. It was a
very different kind of game, for
its time.
Now, 14 years later, as we
contemplate the next iteration of
military-themed shooters and
barely inspired action games,
wouldn’t it be nice to see a game
with some real depth and charac-
ter; something that promises
more than just shooting wave
after wave of bad guys? I’m
hoping that we finally get our
wish.
“Duke Nukem Forever” is
available now on the PC, Xbox
360 and PlayStation 3. W
The badass is back
After 14 years of development, ‘Duke Nukem Forever’
has hit the shelves.
Duke Nukem is a parody of ’80s
action-movie heroes.

intendo’s original Wii
was a pioneer in many
ways — and for many
casual video-gamers, its easy
approachability made it the
video-game console of choice.
Now, Nintendo has
announced the long-awaited
successor to the Wii: The Wii
U. But can it possibly be just
as fun, or as easy to use, as the
original?
Well, for starters, the Wii
U offers a much-needed
upgrade to HD graphics.
This will eliminate the blocky
appearance of games on many
newer TV sets.
The Wii U also features the
original’s iconic motion-sensing
controller, and it features a
large, centrally located 6-inch
touch screen. The screen can
be used as a second monitor
for games that support the
feature, zooming in on a map
or showing an overhead view
of a battlefeld are two things
to come to mind. It’s also
rumored to be able to serve
as a primary display for some
of the more simple games,
and will ship with a stylus.
The controller still features
Nintendo’s iconic “cross”-
shaped directional controller
and the usual secondary
controllers.
The Wii U features a
signifcantly streamlined —
almost minimalist — case,
which is a welcome change.
It will reportedly work
with existing accessories
and controllers, meaning
customers who purchased the
original Wii will be able to use
devices such as steering wheels
with the new console.
Nintendo hasn’t yet
disclosed pricing on the Wii U,
but if it expects to hold its core
demographic, the U will likely
be quite affordable.
One issue I foresee: It’s
hazardous enough swinging
around the Wii’s wireless
controllers as it is, as many
owners of smashed television
sets, lamps and other
household items can attest.
There’s a reason the current
controller has a safety strap.
If the newer controller is
sensitive to movement as well,
and features a 6-inch screen,
how dangerous will that be,
and equally important, how
expensive will it be to replace?
The Wii U is expected to be
released sometime next year.

ivers have always been an
important part of life,
providing everything from
a food supply and a means of
transportation to a source of
energy and a place for washing
clothes before other technology
was available. All too often some
people focus on the negative
aspects of the rivers that twist
and turn through their neigh-
borhoods, at times seeing them
as nothing but a flood risk or a
dirty eyesore filled with pollu-
tion. But for others, the river is a
beautiful part of the community
and should be appreciated for
what it can provide.
For those who live along the
Susquehanna River, Wyoming
Valley RiverFest is back, cele-
brating its 12th year this Friday,
June 17-Sunday, June 19 as part
of National Rivers Month. Cre-
ated by the Riverfront Parks
Committee and the Wyoming
Valley Watershed Coalition, the
three day event brings together a
collection of local music, exhib-
itors, vendors and a variety of
activities on the river.
Vincent Cotrone, president of
the Riverfront Parks Committee,
said the mission of those in-
volved in RiverFest is to help get
people reconnected with the river
and the environment by showing
them how beautiful the river
itself is, as well as the parks
along it.
“For the most part, we take the
river for granted,” he said. “We’re
a river town. We need to come
back to it, and what better way
than to do that and celebrate
Rivers Month on the river.”
He said a lot of people have
misconceptions about the river
— that it is polluted and prone to
flooding — but he said that it is a
great place for people to enjoy
nature, relax along the riverbank
and partake in various events
hosted in Nesbitt Park and the
redeveloped River Common,
which was completed in 2009.
Cotrone said that RiverFest,
which began in 1999, has grown
from just a small river sojourn
with approximately 50 people to
the event it has become today,
attracting several thousand peo-
ple. He said that this is partially
due to the expansion of the event
to include more activities than
just the sojourns and paddling on
the river, like this year’s addition
of dragon boat racing.
Helping to bring some of these
new activities is Karl Borton,
director of River Common Pro-
gramming and Outreach.
“Each year we bring in new
instructors, new musicians, new
exhibitors,” he said. “So each
year, it changes up and each year,
people can expect to see some-
thing new down at the river.
We’re fortunate to have this
unique situation where we’re
blessed to have a free festival.”
Borton said organizers have
brought in a lot of new music this
year, hosting an array of local
talent throughout the course of
the three-day festival. Appearing
at RiverFest for the first time is
Kriki, headed by a lead singer
who goes by the same name,
which Borton said is a three-part,
female vocal harmony group.
Kriki said she appreciates
being asked to play, as this is a
great opportunity for people to
experience the wonderful things
that come along with having a
river run through their town.
“This is a really good opportu-
nity to just make people aware
of, ‘Hey, this is a beautiful area’,”
she said. “Wake up. Enjoy it
while we have a beautiful sum-
mer, while we have the sun,
while we have good music.”
Though also appearing for the
first time at the festival is Eddie
Day and the Star Fires, lead
singer Eddie Day Pashinski is no
stranger to events like this in the
area. Pashinski, the Democratic
member of the Pennsylvania
House of Representatives for the
121st District, which includes
much of Luzerne County, under-
stands how important it is for the
community to become involved
in the natural scene around them.
“Having these kinds of events
enhances the quality of life,” he
said. “Not only for the residents,
but it also attracts other people to
introduce them to northeastern
living.”
While the festival does try to
bring new entertainment, there
are some things that have not
changed over its 12-year history.
Don Shappelle, who said he grew
up along the Susquehanna, has
been playing at RiverFest since
the year it started, even when it
was just primarily a fairly small
group paddling the river.
“In the early days of RiverFest,
I just was on board because I
wanted to do anything and be
part of anything that had to do
with the river,” he said. “It’s hard
to believe it’s been this long. I’m
honored to be a part of it after all
these years.”
Those involved in RiverFest
have worked over the years to
bring the community back to the
river, and Shappelle agrees that it
is an aspect of our valley that we
should treasure.
“RiverFest really accents that,”
he said. “It really pushes the
education and awareness of the
river. I think for everybody who
has been there and those who
have not, they’ll be more than
pleasantly surprised at all that
RiverFest presents.” W

he Music Box Dinner
Playhouse of Swoyersville
will be celebrating its
30th season at the local, non-
profit community theater June
16-19 and June 23-26. High-
lighting 30 famous Broadway
shows, director Debbie Zehner’s
“Musical Memories” will per-
form songs from assorted musi-
cals such as “Oklahoma,”“Fid-
dler on the Roof,” “Carousel,”
“Brigadoon,” “Me and My
Girl,” “Jesus Christ Superstar”
and Zehner’s personal favorites,
“Hello Dolly!” and “Annie.”
The main idea revolving around
“Musical Memories” is to per-
form music that people have
been familiar with for the past
30 years.
“I’m sure the audience will
have the opportunity to hum
along or sing along,” said
Zehner, 60, who has been with
Music Box for 29 years and
has been the president of the
board of directors for 25 years.
In the beginning of her pur-
suit of acting, Zehner started as
a singer and took part in a
theater group in Hazleton. She
took on her first role in her
mid-20s when she was offered
the female lead of “Fiddler on
the Roof ” as Golde, the wife
of main character Tevye.
“Musical Memories” consists
of 20 actors; Music Box’s
youngest and oldest from ages
14-77. The production will also
include Music Box’s three origi-
nal members, Michael Gallagh-
er, Kevin Costley, and T. Doyle
Leverett, who have been with
the community theater for the
full 30 years. According to
Zehner, the biggest challenge of
this production has been trying
to fit as many shows possible
within a short timeframe, de-
scribing the process as a “cir-
cus.”
Not just the only dinner play-
house in the area, Zehner feels
that Music Box has an ad-
vantage against competition
with the theater’s friendly com-
munity, cheaper ticket prices in
comparison to Broadway and its
special attention toward the
children. One of the theater’s
biggest focuses have been get-
ting the kids involved in musi-
cals and familiarizing them
with the “older numbers.” In
late August, there will be pro-
grams at the theater available
for children including Summer
Theatre Workshop for ages 8-12
and Theatre Academy ages
13-18.
“We’re trying to keep the
kids interested,” said Zehner.
“We want to get the younger
ones started earlier.”
She feels that the children’s
programs will help keep the
theater going for another 30
years. Through capturing the
fascination of younger minds,
Zehner hopes that the kids can
grow into the theater communi-
ty and keep Music Box pulsing
with life.
Surviving for the past 30
years hasn’t been easy, but the
theater has prevailed. With the
combining hardships of the
economy, local competition and
just getting people in the door,
Music Box has had its high and
low points. The fact that the
theater has made it to its third
decade has Zehner floored.
“It’s hard to believe it’s been
this long,” the director said.
The heart of Music Box
Dinner Playhouse has always
been the members that come
and get involved with every
production, whether it’s a Music
Box original or one of the
classics. Zehner praised the
local Music Box members for
their talent and contribution to
every show put on the stage.
“This theater is an outlet to
express themselves,” said Zehn-
er on the theater community.
“There’s terrific talent in the
area … and you become a
family. Your friends are there,
and you work so closely togeth-
er.” W

GRILLING GADGETS
It might be a cliche and
perhaps a bit sexist, but
doesn’t grilling — good,
craveable, eat-with-gusto-
and-your-fingers grilling
seem to be a perfect Dad
Thing?
Maybe it’s because my
own father does it so damn
well that, thankfully, neither
snow nor rain nor heat nor
gloom of night keeps him
from his grill, or maybe it’s
because I now have my own
in-house master grilling guy,
but in honor of Father’s Day
this year, here are a few last
minute gifts from CSNSto-
res.com that you might want
to think about getting for
your own dear old Dad —
or whoever mans the coals
in your house.
Up first is the Bayou
Classic Fold & Go Char-
coal Grill ($21), which
weighs in at just 13 pounds
and comes with a tote bag
for easy transporting to your
favorite state park, friend’s
house or, heck, even the
office parking lot for a nice
lunchtime change of pace.
Sliders — you know, those
mini burgers that seem to be
on every restaurant’s menu
these days — are easy to
make at home with the
Companion Deluxe Mini
Burger Set ($21), complete
with a bun cutter, patty
press and grill basket. With
endless topping possibilities
and this tool, get ready to
“slide” into a homerun at
your next cookout.
Sure, my medium-rare
doneness is a breeze for
my grilling guys to deliver,
but some grill minders need
a little help, especially with
some of those — gasp —
well-done requests. The Pol-
der BBQ Safe Serve In-
stant Read Thermometer
($20), which has preset
alerts to let you know when
the meat has reached its
USDA-recommended safety
temperature, makes the per-
fect steak or burger a snap.
No griller wants to get
splattered by hot grease
fresh off the grill
and get burned or ruin
their backyard-barbecue
best, so why not outfit your
grill master with the Texas
Irons Personalized Leather
Grilling Apron ($45), with
five logos to choose from?
After one wearing, they’ll be
calling themselves “Cookie”
and referring to the patio as
“The Range.” It’s up to you
to provide the horse for the
full cowboy experience …
Last but not least is my
personal favorite: The Char-
coal Companion Double-
Prong Coastal Skewers
($13), featuring an intricately
detailed crab, scallop, fish
and lobster. The 14-inch
skewer’s double-prong style
helps prevent spinning,
meaning the chance of a
shrimp or scallop going
overboard is pretty slim.
These five items are just a
taste of what Boston-based
CSN Stores has for your
favorite outdoor cook, so
check the website out, and
get grilling! W

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
Take a break. There’s only so much you
can accomplish now, and laboring to make
progress when tensions are high or chaos
reigns is just so much wasted effort. Once
the dust settles, people calm down, and
your own emotions pull out of their tail-
spin, you’ll be able to soar swiftly and
efficiently to your destination, whereas if
you attempt to get there now, you’ll end up
in a Bermuda Triangle of sorts, instead,
flying in circles and running out of fuel.
Go find something else to do, already.
When the “weather” clears, and it’s safe to
continue your journey, you’ll know.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
The end of something doesn’t have to be
a dismal funereal affair, where everyone
involved mopes around feeling sorry for
themselves. You already know how every
ending is a new beginning. In this case,
that may very well be cause for outright
celebration, not doom and gloom. You’ve
had enough of that kind of shit. Turn up
the music, tell everyone to wake up and
snap out of it, and change things up. It’s
time to put on a party hat and drink, not to
drown your sorrows, but to loosen you up
for something altogether new!
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
Everyone makes mistakes. In most
cases, it’s best to own up to yours and fix
them. Sometimes, though, it really doesn’t
matter. Going to that much effort to rectify
something so small will actually just make
you seem nitpicky and petty, as well as
willing to waste others’ time on something
that’s relatively inconsequential. Since
those aren’t typical qualities of yours, let
this oopsie slide. If and when someone
notices and points out your gaffe, admit to
it, of course — but until then, assume that
it probably doesn’t make a whit of differ-
ence, since that’s almost certainly the case.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Generally your judgment is rather good,
but you only developed it by making some
spectacularly disastrous mistakes in the
past. Occasionally, one of these will come
back to haunt you in some way. There’s no
point in denying what happened, but you
can easily drive the point home about how
you learned from your past stupidity.
Don’t go on the defensive if one of these
experiences is brought up: It happened,
and everyone knows it. However, your
more recent life experience has taught you
how to deal with uncomfortable situations
with grace. This is one of those, so show
off your new skills.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
It’s easy to be friends with someone
when they shine. Of course, when they
need your friendship the most is when
they do something they’re ashamed of
(and you probably are, too). Which kind of
friend will you be when something like
this happens? Will you stick by them,
despite their reprehensible or incompre-
hensible actions? Or will you shun them?
Of course, we all know which friend you’d
like to be in theory. Can you put it into
practice, despite what they’ve done, per-
haps something that even horrifies or
disgusts you? This week you may find out.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
If someone claims to be proud of every-
thing they’ve ever done, they’re full of
shit, and/or probably too insufferable to be
around. Everyone screws up, and pulls
crap they’re ashamed of after the fact. I
doubt you need this warning, but avoid
holier-than-thou types this week, like the
plague. They’re not good for your happi-
ness, well-being, or self-esteem, and have
little to offer besides their stupid judg-
mental attitudes. You have a dark side, and
even if you’ve done things you’re a little
ashamed of, you should be proud of being
willing to explore and accept all of your-
self. Until they can do the same, don’t
bother with them.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Sure, all the sexting and naughty chat is
plenty of fun, but until you meet face-to-
face, online flirtations pretty much exist
only in the realm of fantasy. So much of a
connection between two people can only
happen when you’re in the same room
with each other. Many people have already
discovered that what seemed ideal, per-
haps even phenomenal, in theory, turned
out to be a tremendous disappointment in
reality. Until you have hands-on verifica-
tion that the fantastic dream you’re talking
and thinking about will actually work for
you, don’t get your hopes too high. This
scenario may not be too good to be true,
but unfortunately it probably is.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
When all the pieces don’t quite add up,
either the story you’re being told is highly
unusual, or it just plain isn’t true. We’re
both cynical enough to more or less as-
sume the latter, but just in case this is one
of those weird situations, hold off on the
accusations. See if you can get any sub-
stantiation for the odd scenario that’s be-
ing described to you. You can afford to
give someone the benefit of the doubt —
to a point. Eventually, though, you deserve
and should require a little more than hav-
ing to rely on blind faith. Proof is avail-
able, if it exists. Ask for some.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Moving too fast happens most often
when we’re young, but even older people
can get carried away and suddenly find
themselves a few steps past where they’re
strictly comfortable. It may be difficult to
force things backwards a few steps —
particularly if there are logistical difficul-
ties, like moving out of your lover’s apart-
ment, but that’s still preferable to the al-
ternative: Carrying on as if this was just
where you meant to be, even if you’re not
feeling it. It’s that kind of false bravado
that leads to even more discomfort, and,
ultimately, pain and heartbreak. You need
to be sure, so give yourself the space to
make sure, even if asking for it is very,
very hard.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
I’ve never cheated on anyone in my life.
However, just because I never went there
doesn’t mean I’d treat anyone who did
with righteous, holier-than-thou derision
and scorn. I might be more guarded with
them, true. However, I choose to believe
that people can learn from their mistakes,
and even though they may never be free of
the impulses that led to those mistakes,
they can change their responses to them.
Of course, some people will never learn,
because they’re incapable or unwilling.
Has the person spinning stories to you
changed? Or are they just telling tales?
That’s this week’s question.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
Manifesting what you want is usually
relatively easy for you (by that I mean
easier than it is for other signs). That’s
why you get impatient when it doesn’t
happen right away, as soon as you put it
out there. When what you’re trying to
bring into your life is complex, subtle, or
very rare, it’s simply going to take longer.
Accept that. Trying to force it to happen
before it’s “ready” will just mean ultimate-
ly longer delays. Remember that patience
you’re supposed to be cultivating? This
week (and in the weeks to come), put it to
the test.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
Expecting everyone to conform to your
standards is slightly ridiculous. Attempt-
ing to require them to do so is frankly
preposterous. If you’re trying anyway, it’s
because you still haven’t yet learned to
appropriately pick your battles, because
these types of fights either can’t be won,
or can only be won by sacrificing some-
thing even more valuable; in other words
they’re simply not worth the effort. This
week, take a step back from any conflicts
(or potential conflicts) you’ve got going
on. For at least a couple of them, you’ll be
happier and better off if you just back off.
They’re not worth it. Figuring out which
ones will not only make you happier, it’ll
make you much likelier to win the battles
really worth fighting. W
