Letter from the editor
I love me a good sum-
mer festival, and this
weekend, one of my favor-
ites — the 8th annual
Kielbasa Fest — will be
held in downtown Ply-
mouth Friday and Sat-
urday, Aug. 26-27.
I got involved with the
Kielbasa Fest two years
ago when I was asked to
judge its kielbasa contest,
which will be held Sat-
urday at 1 p.m. at Franchel-
la’s Pub. I can’t wait to
take my place on the panel for
the third year in a row this week-
end and see whose kielbasa
comes out on top.
We judges take the contest
very seriously, almost as much as
the contestants do. We score
either smoked or fresh kielbasa,
depending on which end of the
table we’re at, on appearance,
taste and texture.
It’s so great to see the large
turnout for the contest (people
actually clamor for the limited
seats to watch us taste and rate
some of the best kielbasa from
our area), and while I love sam-
pling said cased meat, there’s
something else about the Ply-
mouth Kielbasa Fest that keeps
me coming back.
That sense of community I feel
looking out at the people in at-
tendance for the contest, seeing
how happy the winners of Best
Smoked or Best Fresh are, walk-
ing the streets of the town and
just everything about the festival
in general, really.
I may not be a Plymouth na-
tive, but at least I’ll be an honor-
ary one on Saturday. Get the full
story about the festival on pages
14-15.
Also in this week’s issue we
have a smorgasbord of music,
from classic rockers Styx (p. 11)
and country star Jason Aldean (p.
19) to Billboard-climbing Egypt
Central (p. 22) and new outfit
and Uproar Festival band Hell or
Highwater (p. 33).
That’s not all we’ve got this
week, but you’ll have to find out
yourself, so start turning pages,
and, as always, thanks for read-
ing!

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
REDNECK CHRONICLES
(1) Roy Griffith, 60, John
Sanborn, 53, and Douglas Ward,
55, were arrested in Deerfield
Township, Mich., in July and
charged with stealing a 14-foot-
long stuffed alligator from a
barn, dragging it away with their
truck, and using it to surf in the
mud (“mudbogging”). When the
gator’s owner tracked down the
three nearby, they denied the
theft and insisted that theirs is
an altogether-different 14-foot-
long stuffed alligator. (Ward’s
blood-alcohol reading was 0.40.)
(2) When deputies in Monroe
County, Tenn., arrested a woman
for theft in August, they learned
that one of the items stolen was
a 150-year-old Vatican-certified
holy relic based on the Veil of
Veronica (supposedly used to
wipe Jesus’ face before the
crucifixion). The painting had
been stolen from the closet of a
trailer home on a back road in
the Tennessee mountains, where
a local named “Frosty,” age 73,
had kept it for 20 years with no
idea of its significance.
BATS’ RIGHTS
-- In January, Alison Murray
purchased her first-ever home,
in Aberdeen, Scotland, but was
informed in August that she has
to relocate, temporarily, because
the house has become infested
with bats, which cannot be dis-
turbed, under Scottish and Eu-
ropean law, once they settle in.
Conservation officials advised
her that she could probably
move back in November, when
the bats leave to hibernate.
POLICE REPORT
-- Catch-22: NYPD officer
James Seiferheld, 47, still re-
ceives his $52,365 annual dis-
ability pay despite relentless
efforts of the department to fire
him. He had retired in 2004 on
disability, but was ordered back
to work when investigators
found him doing physical work
inconsistent with “disability.”
However, Seiferheld could not
return to work because he re-
peatedly failed drug screening
(for cocaine). Meanwhile, his
appeal of the disability denial
went to the state Court of Ap-
peals, which found a procedural
error and ordered that Seifer-
held’s “disability” benefits con-
tinue (even though the city has
proven both that he is physically
able and a substance-abuser).
THE PERVO-AMERICAN
COMMUNITY
Beginning in 2002, a man
was reported sidling up to wom-
en on crowded New York City
subway trains and rubbing
against them until he ejaculated.
Police were unable to identify
him but were concerned enough
that they obtained an indictment
— “naming” the suspect only as
whoever’s DNA it was who
committed the subway crimes.
In July 2011, they finally ob-
tained a match, to Darnell Hard-
ware, 26, who had been in the
system repeatedly (drug and
indecent-exposure charges) but
not until July in offenses that
obligated collection of DNA.
UPDATE
News of the Weird has report-
ed on life-sized, anatomically
correct dolls manufactured in
fine detail with human features
(e.g., the “Real Doll,” as one
brand is called), which are as
different from the plastic in-
flatable dolls sold in adult stores
as fine whiskey is to $2-a-bottle
rotgut. An early progenitor of
the exquisite dolls, according to
new research by Briton Graeme
Donald, was Adolf Hitler, who
was worried that he was losing
more soldiers to venereal dis-
ease than to battlefield injuries,
and ordered his police chief,
Heinrich Himmler, to oversee
development of a meticulously
made doll with blonde hair and
blue eyes. (However, according
to Donald, the project was stop-
ped in 1942 and all the research
lost in the Allies’ bombing of
Dresden, Germany.) Among
those who had heard of Hitler’s
earlier interest, according to
Donald, were the creators of
what later became the Barbie
doll.
GREAT ART!
In his signature performance
art piece, John Jairo Villamil
depicted both the excitement
and danger of the city of Bogo-
ta, Colombia, by appearing on
stage with a tightened garbage
bag over his head and his feet in
a bucket of water, holding a
chain in one hand and a plant’s
leaf in the other. At a May show
at Bogota’s Universidad del
Bosque, Villamil, 25, fussed
with the tightened bag and soon
collapsed to the floor, stirred a
little, and then was motionless.
The audience, likely having
assumed that the collapse was
part of the performance, did not
immediately render assistance,
and Villamil lost consciousness
and died in a hospital five days
later.
A NEWS OF THE WEIRD
CLASSIC (APRIL 1998)
In March (1998), trial began
in Lesli Szabo’s $1.7 million
lawsuit against a Hamilton,
Ontario, hospital for not making
her 1993 childbirth pain-free.
(Physicians said that painless
childbirth cannot be achieved
without the anesthesia’s en-
dangering the child.) Szabo
admitted to previous run-ins
with physicians, explaining,
“When I’m in pain, the (words)
that come out of my mouth
would curl your hair.” In the
lawsuit, Szabo said she expected
to be able to read or knit while
the baby was being delivered.
(The parties eventually settled
the lawsuit.) W

In June, the Five Guys Burger and Fries
restaurant in White Plains, N.Y., was
robbed by five guys (well, actually, four
guys and a woman). One of the guys
worked at Five Guys. All five “guys”
were arrested.

W
ith hits like “Renegade”
and “Come Sail Away,”
Styx is a band that has
become synonymous with the
potently indulgent era of the
’80s. And while fans will almost
certainly get to experience the
prevailing hits live when the band
takes the stage at Penn’s Peak in
Jim Thorpe Friday, Aug. 26,
there is also something else they
can look forward to.
Styx, which has toured with
the likes of Def Leppard and,
most recently, Yes, will be solo
for the local show, and that
means a deeper, more eclectic
setlist — with a little less show-
manship — according to guitarist
and vocalist James “J.Y.” Young,
who checked in with the Week-
ender last week from his home
near Chicago.
“We don’t have the benefit of
(a video backdrop and special
effects) at a place like Jim
Thorpe,” Young said, “But what
we do have the benefit of is
probably twice the amount of
time on stage … to come out and
play a much fuller set, where we
can dig deeper into some of the
obscure corners.”
Though the band — which
also features Tommy Shaw on
guitar and vocals, drummer Todd
Sucherman, Lawrence Gowan on
vocals and keys, bassist Ricky
Phillips and part-time bassist
Chuck Panozzo — has experi-
enced its shares of ups and
downs over the years, Young
seems to be in a very joyful
place, reiterating how much of a
positive experience performing
live is for him and his band-
mates. And that joy seems to be a
contagiously important part of
the outfit’s live shows.
Young noted that during the
band’s beginnings, there was
much more of a competitive edge
among the members. But work-
ing furiously to promote an al-
bum and make Styx a household
name while simultaneously jock-
eying for alpha dog has given
way to a much more cohesive
and relaxed vibe now that they’re
comfortably established.
“Now, the drama is gone,”
Young shared. “What we really
have when we take the stage
today is this incredible sense of
joy and exhilaration because we
know that, for millions and mil-
lions of people and the baby
boom and subsequent gener-
ations, that we were the sound-
track to their glorious misspent
youth, and they’re coming to
relive it with us.”
And though Young is the only
original member of Styx, Shaw
has also been a prominent mem-
ber since joining in 1976. The
band has split up and reunited a
few times, and Young was quick
to point out that though he and
Shaw have different approaches
to playing the guitar, they’re at a
point where, like with their live
shows, everything is a little more
tranquil.
“We’ve had a chance to go out
and work with world-class musi-
cians outside of the confines of
Styx,” Young said, “And I think
what that did was sort of remind
us of just how well we worked
together, even though it was more
competitive back then. Now
there’s definitely an incredible
amount of give and take between
(Shaw) and I, and between the
two of us, we make one heck of a
blonde guitar player.”
With the lineup changes over
the years, Styx has inevitably
faced a variation of its capa-
bilities. Now, Young said, though
the level of musicianship was
always high, “it’s at a much high-
er level than it ever was before,”
allowing for a different sort of
live experience.
“There’s some things we
couldn’t perform back in the day
that we have found a way to
perform now,” he explained.
“And at least one of those will
find its way into the show, if not
two or more, in Jim Thorpe.” W
Styx offers some deeper cuts on its current solo tour.

The Gamer
By Dale Culp
Weekender Correspondent
I
won’t deny that I
was a bit cool on
the Nintendo 3DS
when it launched in
March of this year.
The handheld gaming
console with a “no
glasses required” 3-D
display gave me a
headache and left me
feeling dizzy. I had a
hard time saying
anything good about
it, but I felt the
3DS would still sell
well because there
were many people
who weren’t both-
ered by the 3-D
effect the way I
was. Despite my
concerns, I had to
admit, the tech-
nology was im-
pressive: The 3-D
display worked as
described, and the
graphics looked
great. The one
thing I still
couldn’t get over,
though, was the
price.
At an MSRP of
$249.99, there
was no way I could afford a
3DS in the foreseeable fu-
ture, and even if I could, the
sorry lineup of games at
launch weren’t getting me to
part with my money, either. I
was doubtful, but remained
hopeful for the future of the
device. I even wondered if I
was wrong about the price
when it began to sell rela-
tively well. I wouldn’t say it
was flying off the shelves,
but it was certainly moving.
At the GameStop in Hazle-
ton, I spoke with a man who
bought two of them, and he
wasn’t the only one. Clearly,
the price was right with a
good number of people. In
the months since the 3DS
launched, however, sales
nearly screeched to a halt.
Between the high price of
the 3DS and the lack of
exciting, new titles for it,
there was little wonder why
consumers stopped buying
them. As a result, poor hard-
ware sales lead to poor soft-
ware sales, which lead to
new titles being canceled,
which meant less reasons to
buy a 3DS. It was a vicious
cycle that outraged fans
while potential new consum-
ers began having less and
less confidence that Ninten-
do was the gaming giant it
once was. With public opin-
ion hitting an all time low,
Nintendo had to act quickly.
So, only a few short months
after the launch of the 3DS,
Nintendo did what it had to
do: It lowered the price of
the 3DS to $169.99.
As you might expect, sales
went through the roof. How-
ever, despite a renewed in-
terest in the system,
the Nintendo 3DS
still wound up in last
place on a list of
hardware sales, ac-
cording to the NPD
Group, which keeps
track of sales in the
video-game sector.
It’s telling you some-
thing when Ninten-
do’s last-generation
handheld console, the
DS, is at the top of
the list while their
next-generation
handheld, the 3DS,
is at the bottom.
But that’s not the
worst part.
The most dis-
turbing bit of
news is that video
game hardware
and software sales
in July 2011 were
the worst they’ve
been since Octo-
ber 2006. There’s
a bigger problem
that is going on,
and it proves that
the assumption
made by analysts
several years ago
— that the video games in-
dustry would survive and
dominate through the “eco-
nomic downturn” — were
simply untrue. Most compa-
nies found themselves in just
as much hot water as every
other one out there, and it’s
because consumers simply
don’t have as much money
as they used to.
The good news is, if
you’re in the market to re-
place your aging DS, the
3DS offers you a doorway to
next-generation graphics and
3-D display wizardry while
allowing you to play your
existing library of DS games
at a much more attractive
price. It might be a while
before there are new games
available, but at least you’ll
be able to play them when
they are. W
3DS still struggles to find
a market
There’s a bigger problem that is
going on, and it proves that the
assumption made by analysts
several years ago — that the video
games industry would survive and
dominate through the “economic
downturn” — were simply untrue.

THE
MISSING
LINK
For eighth year, Kielbasa
Fest unites downtown
Plymouth and beyond
By Marie Burrell
Weekender Correspondent
F
or most of NEPA,
summertime means
festival time. All
over, billboards and
signs fill our vision
with bright announcements fea-
turing an array of choices.
From Italian festivals to corn
and clam bakes, tomato festivals
and small, downtown affairs,
some people plan their weeks
and weekends based on what’s
happening where and when.
There are rides and games,
food and entertainment, and, of
course, a whole slew of various
goods and goodies to buy and
bring home. Whether it’s just
down the block or a whole-day
road trip away, we venture out,
the kid inside all of us ready to
navigate the crowds.
Returning to the list of hap-
penings this summer is the 8th
Annual Plymouth Kielbasa Fes-
tival, held this Friday and Sat-
urday, Aug. 26-27. Though only
a two-day event, the festival,
which is run by Plymouth Alive,
a community group dedicated
to the betterment of downtown
Plymouth, is stocked with a full
lineup of music, vendors, a kiel-
basa contest and a parade.
Terry Womelsdorf, president
of Plymouth Alive and sales
manager at Plymouth-based
Unigraphic Color Corporation,
said the festival is not only a
great time, but also a wonderful
way for members of the com-
munity and visitors from out of
town to support the area, keep-
ing the downtown full of life.
“We want to revitalize the
downtown,” he said. “We want
you to walk all through town
and not only enjoy the vendors
on the street, but also enjoy all
the stores and businesses we
have to offer. We want you to
come down and support them.”
Womelsdorf said that the
festival has grown over the
years because of this continued
support and that he anticipates it
will keep doing so. He also said
that a lot of the success is due
to the vendors, many of whom
return year after year, and that
this year, there will be an assort-
ment of more than 80 vendor
stands lining the sidewalks of
Main Street.
While many of the stands
will be food-oriented, includ-
In above photos, people swarm the streets of downtown Plymouth during a

ner of the kielbasa contest, which is held at Franchella’s Pub.

ing around a dozen kielbasa
vendors, Womelsdorf said that
there will also be stands with
games for children, hand-crafted
items and businesses promoting
various services.
Also during the course of
the festival, there will be live
music at two band shells — one
located outside of Sport-Jes, the
other at Wyoming Valley West
High School — featuring bands
like No Way Out, Polka Natu-
rals and Iron Cowboy, plus live
remote broadcasts from Froggy
101 and Rock 107.
Womelsdorf said there will
be plenty of parking, graciously
provided free of charge at Wyo-
ming Valley West.
‘A damn good time’
D
espite the many things
to do at the festival,
it’s mostly one thing
that draws people to downtown
Plymouth this last weekend of
August.
Kielbasa.
While there will be plenty of
traditional kielbasa — the name
most often used for Polish sau-
sage — vendors will offer their
twist on the tasty treat, some
selling kielbasa sandwiches and
even kielbasa pizza.
“Peppe” Lubrano, owner of
Peppe’s Pizza, said he is looking
forward to participating in the
festival.
“I wanted to put a stand
outside this year just for the
kielbasa pizza,” he said.
But for the vendors who make
their own kielbasa, the highlight
of the festival is Saturday’s
kielbasa contest at Franchella’s
Pub. Womelsdorf said 16 judges
will sample and score kielbasa
in two categories, smoked and
fresh, based on appearance, taste
and texture. He said the appear-
ance is always the first to be
scored, and that vendors tend to
get very creative with their tray
of kielbasa.
“They must do some type of
theme with their kielbasa tray
and the kielbasa at the same
time,” he said. “They have had
everything from sparkers to
playing cards, football fields and
cabins.”
Once all trays are scored by
the judges, a mix of members
of the local media (including
Weekender staffers), entertain-
ers and also Plymouth’s mayor,
winners will be crowned in each
category.
Janet Franchella, owner of
Franchella’s Pub, said she is
excited to host the contest again,
and as always, be a part of the
festival. She said it is a won-
derful event that brings people
together, often for
the first time in
many years, and
it brings a lot of
pride to the area.
“This really has
put Plymouth on
the map,” she said.
“People know
where we are
now. It really
brings a lot
of excitement to
the area. It makes us feel
important — we have something
that another town doesn’t have.”
Adding to the excitement
of the festival will be Satur-
day morning’s parade down
Main Street. Coordinated by
Clyde Peters of the Plymouth
VFW, this year’s parade will be
representing current troops and
veterans, as well as a memorial
to the upcoming 10th anniver-
sary of Sept. 11. Despite the
often solemn memories associ-
ated with Sept. 11 and the lives
of veterans, Peters said
it is still a joyous
parade.

“You should see the smiles
on everyone’s faces when they
see a parade coming down the
street,” he said. “It does bring
the people out to enjoy the com-
munity, have a good time and
forget their troubles, if even for
a couple of minutes. It shows
pride in who we are and where
we came from.”
For the members of Plymouth
Alive, and others from the com-
munity who are trying to help
better Plymouth, the festival has
been a great way to accomplish
that goal. For Peters, he said
he doesn’t know why people
wouldn’t want to come out.
“If you don’t show up, you’re
missing a damn good time,” he
said. “Like (late local celebrity)
Manny Gordon used to say,
‘Enjoy, enjoy.’” W
Kielbasa pizza is just one of many food items festivalgoers can fnd this weekend.
“People know where we
are now. It really brings
a lot of excitement to the
area. It makes us feel
important — we have
something that another
town doesn’t have.”

ason Aldean knows what
he has to do every time
he walks out on stage.
He’s not going to just
stand at the microphone and
sing, especially now that
he’s headlining arena shows.
He’s going to deliver more
than just a live version of
the songs that bring people
in to see him.
“If somebody wants to
hear you sing, they can go
buy the record and pay 12
or 15 bucks,” Aldean said.
“When they pay 40 or 50
bucks for a ticket, they want
to be entertained. There’s a
difference between being a
singer and an entertainer. I
consider myself more of an
entertainer than a singer.”
Well, maybe not just an
entertainer. Aldean, who will
perform Thursday, Aug. 25
at Toyota Pavilion at Mon-
tage Mountain in Scranton,
really sees himself as an
entertainer who can sing or
a singer who can entertain.
“There’s plenty of people
that can sing and plenty that
can go out and be entertain-
ing and can’t sing a lick —
you usually call those people
comedians,” he said. “To be
able to sing and be an en-
tertainer, that’s what you
want, that’s what you have
to do. It’s something you
can’t fake. You’re either
born with it or you hone
your skills for years and
years.”
Aldean, who’s now 34,
may have been born with it,
but the hottest act in coun-
try music has been honing
his skills for more than half
his life. Learning guitar
from his dad while he was
in middle school, Aldean
started playing with a house
band in a Georgia nightclub
at 15, and played clubs
across the southeast before
moving to Nashville in 1998.
He landed a deal with
indie Broken Bow Records,
released his self-titled debut
in early 2005 and was
named Top New Male Vocal-
ist at the 2006 Academy of
Country Music Awards. By
then, Aldean and his band
had graduated to arenas,
first opening for bigger acts,
then, as his popularity in-
creased, headlining his own
shows.
“Bars are where I started.
I’m really comfortable play-
ing in bars,” he said. “
When it comes to arenas, I
look at that as a big-ass
nightclub. It was something
I was looking forward to, to
get to that level.”
Now that he’s made it
there, Aldean is a happy
man.
“I love it, man,” he said.
“The big stage is it. Playing
an arena allows the people
to see our full show and
not some stripped-down
version of what we want
them to see.”
What follows is a show
packed with hits that are
more rockin’ than most con-
temporary Nashville fare —
Aldean’s signature standout
sound.
“Every artist wants to find
their own thing, what makes
them unique and special. It
think that’s what makes be-
ing an artist cool,” he said.
“Mine came from the days
of me playing a George
Strait song, then turning
around and playing a John
Mellencamp song and then
playing a Guns N’ Roses
song. Over time, you don’t
even think about it. It be-
comes your thing.”
A STYLE ALL HIS OWN
A
ldean’s stylistic mix
likely has deeper roots
than the songs he
played coming up. The mu-
sician is from Macon, Ga.,
the home of The Allman
Brothers and legendary
Southern-rock label Capri-
corn Records, soul great
Otis Redding and the quasar
of rock ’n’ roll, Little Ri-
chard.
“It is hard to grow up
somewhere like that and not
be influenced by all kinds of
music,” he said. “I spent a
lot of time listening to all
those people, the Allmans,
Otis, Little Richard. Macon
being a real place for music
gave me an opportunity to
hear all these guys, all those
styles. That has to be in
there somewhere.”
Aldean’s jacked-up brand
of country likely wouldn’t
have made it through the
filter of Nashville’s major
labels. But Broken Bow let
the headstrong Georgian
make the music he wanted
to make — from day one.
“Fortunately for me, I’m
on a smaller label that al-
lows me the freedom to ex-
periment, to do my thing
and do it the way I want to
and not put a stranglehold
on it,” Aldean said. “Be-
cause of that, it’s allowed us
to find our sound. A lot of
labels shape and mold the
artist and take all the cre-
ativity and freshness out of
it.”
Aldean’s music has really
connected over the past two
years. The combination of
“She’s Country,” “Big Green
Tractor” and “The Truth”
had Aldean spending the
most time at No. 1 in 2009-
2010 than any male country
artist.
Then came the chart-top-
ping album “My Kinda Par-
ty,” which, since last fall,
has generated the No. 2 hits
“Crazy Town” and the title
cut and now, a No. 1 hit
with the current single,
“Dirt Road Anthem.” This
has helped propel Aldean
into ever larger venues.
“I can’t complain at all,”
he said. “The last year has
been pretty amazing … (The
last year’s success) is a
combination of a lot of
things. It’s definitely a be-
ing-in-the-right-place-at-the-
right-time sort of thing. But
it’s also being prepared
when your time comes. I
wanted to make sure it
didn’t slip away.” W

here’s nothing quite like a
truly kick-ass rock song.
Not just a rock song that
you gently bob your head to
while driving down the interstate,
but one that makes you jump out
of your seat, thrash around and
get lost in the rhythm. This is just
the type of soul-quenching rock
music Egypt Central makes.
With super-charged energy and
a deep love of creating music,
Egypt Central is climbing the
Billboard rock chart with its
latest single, “White Rabbit,”
from its sophomore album of the
same name.
“There’s just a certain sense of
satisfaction, a certain level of
achievement with this album,
knowing that at any point from
the second we came off the road
to record it to the day it was re-
leased, you’re never guaranteed
it’s going to come out,” said lead
singer John Falls. “The tricky part
of this business is there are no
guarantees. All the struggles we
went through to get this album
out are a huge accomplishment.”
Working with famed producer
Skidd Mills (Saving Abel, 12
Stones) helped Egypt Central
reach a noticeably raised level of
maturity on the album, as every-
thing from the songwriting to the
music itself has grown.
“We have a real message,
Egypt Central is an uprising, a
coming together of the masses,”
explained Falls. “You can’t let life
keep you down when you are
knocked down — fight through
negative situations and find the
positive in it. We want to reach
out to people dealing with tough
things in their life, so they know
they’re not alone … they can
depend on us, and we can help
them get through it.”
“White Rabbit” is described as
“an invitation to step out of ordi-
nary time,” which is exactly what
fans are invited to if they follow
the rabbit hole to Eleanor Rigby’s
in Jermyn on Sunday, Aug. 28.
As headliner, Egypt Central is
prepared — and stoked — to play
a longer set and give some one-
on-one time to fans.
“We love performing our music
… we’ll get to do songs that we
don’t always get to do,” Falls said.
“We can basically play whatever
we want. In an intimate venue,
you’re not hitting as many people,
but you make up for the fact that
you can give each person in the
room a minute of genuine time.”
Egypt Central may be new to
you, but the band might not re-
main foreign for long. Its next
single, “Kick Ass” is being
adopted by various teams of the
NFL (including the Philadelphia
Eagles and Baltimore Ravens)
and will be used during the up-
coming football season.
“We’re altering it to say ‘Kick
Off’ for the NFL. We’re excited.”

Ann and Bob Maselkevich of NEPA with Cavo
at the then Wachovia Arena
in Wilkes-Barre Twp., Nov. 16, 2009
novel approach
F
or geeks, nerds and the
like, the film “Fanboys”
should be an obvious title
still rattling about in your crani-
um. After all, the film’s 2008
debut set apart screenwriter
Ernest Cline from the rest of his
contemporaries. And now Cline
does it again in his debut novel,
“Ready Player One.”
Those who follow Cline’s work
should know upfront that his
book maintains the same comic,
pop-cultural appeal as his film by
molding the ideas of Atari brain-
fueled characters into a world of
Members Only jackets meets
virtual reality.
The novel takes place in 2044,
but most readers may feel they
are instead transported back to
the 1980s. Cline introduces the
protagonist, 18-year-old Wade
Watts (codename Parzival) who
finds himself trapped in the
world of “Oasis,” a game where
your avatar is more important
than the life you actually live.
The game, which was created
by James Halliday, is pro-
grammed in order to lead players
to the ultimate prize. Though
Halliday is now merely a ghost in
the machine, his legend lives on
through the game and his love for
the 1980s. The seeker who can
decipher Halliday’s final message
is bestowed the greatest and most
mysterious fortunes of all.
“Oasis,” though a place of
many planets and environments,
has now become a reality. After
all, most of Watts’ life lessons
stem from his experiences with
the game. It makes sense then,
that “Oasis,” which is similar to
such games as “World of War-
craft” could easily drag anyone
into a place where online status
literally becomes them.
However, the issue remains
separate from reality and illusion.
Players, in becoming overly
involved in the game, also grow
ignorant of the treacherous world
outside. Not only is “Oasis” a
place for seeking treasure, but
also the only mode of education
and communication.
Even for readers not interested
in the world of gaming, the pop-
culture aspects of the novel are
significant and extremely humor-
ous. Without question, Cline
manages to balance multiple
themes, including a budding
romance, with that of villainous
characters not far from the stories
of Camelot compounded with
hints of the popular webseries,
“The Guild.”
Though virtuosos such as
George Lucas and Kevin Smith
have been connected to Cline, he
has managed to transcend into
the world of fiction without their
help. While this novel may not be
for everyone, it does offer a sense
of real nostalgia that Cline has
successfully translated from
screenplay to novel.

movie review
S
omebody call the film
police because it’s time
for director Marcus Nispel
to go to movie jail for his vari-
ous crimes against cinemanity.
Responsible for “The Texas
Chainsaw Massacre” and “Fri-
day the 13th,” two of the least-
warranted and most-loathed
remakes of the past 10 years,
Nispel’s films are always murk-
ily photographed and inevitably
involve unappealing people and
their oily faces as they attempt
to make their way through a
world that’s covered in mud,
shit and animal carcasses. He’s
also one of the few B-movie
directors that somehow manages
to make violence look unin-
teresting. With his latest film
“Conan the Barbarian,” Nispel’s
reputation as the least-talented
director to keep finding work
remains unchallenged.
Here’s a great rule of thumb:
If a film opens with a prologue
that immediately dumps an
unwieldy level of exposition in
your lap, leave immediately.
And don’t be fooled if said
exposition is being recited by
Morgan Freeman because even
he can’t make it sound classy
or interesting. Mainly because
he occasionally has to spit out
those prose-y, overly dramatic
names that locations always
seem to have in sub-Tolkien
works of fiction. After suffering
through the unrelenting on-
slaught of back story, “Conan”
briefly becomes interesting as
we watch his mother giving
birth to him on a battlefield
(please enjoy the twitching,
Conan fetus puppet!) and his
formative years as a cute, knee-
high sociopath who has no
trouble stabbing the faces off of
warriors twice his size.
But whatever entertainment
value is gleaned from these
early scenes is lost once the
focus is shifted to the adult
Conan (Jason Momoa). The
kitschiness is gone, and a vague
plot emerges about Conan get-
ting revenge against somebody
who wants a nice-smelling lady
to do something. Granted,
there’s a plot in there some-
where, but it’s lost in a sea of
near-constant swordfights and
scenes of people’s heads ex-
ploding in a red mist whenever
their faces are given even the
slightest tap. Really, everybody
just gets murdered all over the
place in this.
“Conan the Barbarian” is the
kind of movie that should be
exploding with campy, pulpish
energy, but instead it comes off
as perfunctory and rote as a
direct-to-DVD sequel of a long-
running film series. Most of the
blame rests on Nispel’s shoul-
ders, but Momoa simply doesn’t
have the charisma or presence
to carry the role. Momoa’s
Conan is a dead-eyed lump of
meat who can’t open his mouth
without showering everyone in
a cascade of spit. His affected
“tough guy” voice has a guttur-
al quality that wavers in be-
tween Cookie Monster and
somebody burping the alphabet.
He’s joyless and he refuses to
have even the slightest bit of
fun with the role, unlike Rose
McGowan, who at least realized
she was in a terrible movie and
acted accordingly. McGowan is
attractive in a way that makes
her seem more interesting and
talented than she actually is, so
it’s difficult to tell if she’s a
good actress camping it up in a
goofy role or she’s merely very
pretty.
At any rate, Nispel’s directing
days are numbered. The film
police are bound to notice that
“Conan” was crushed at the
box office by “The Help,” and
it won’t be long before he’s
sharing a cell with fellow in-
mate Joel Schumacher. Enjoy
your time in movie jail, Nispel.
“Conan the Barbarian” will be
the last can’t-miss-premise
you’ll ever botch.
Jason Momoa is ‘Conan the Barbarian.’

gone straight to DVD

ost your keys? There’s an app
for that.
We have telescopes capa-
ble of looking into the distant reac-
hes of outer space.
There are satellites capable of
spotting an ant on a sidewalk from
orbit.
Microscopes can spot things at
the atomic level.
Why then, do we still have so
much trouble finding our keys or
our wallets? I can’t count the num-
ber of times I’ve lost my keys. Are
they in the bedroom? No. Are they
in the kitchen? No. In the car? No.
Usually, they turn up in some
unlikely place: In a shoe, in the
refrigerator or under the car seat. I
never have a recollection of fling-
ing my keys under the seat or put-
ting themin the refrigerator so that
they’re frosty come morning, but
there they are.
Don’t deny that it hasn’t hap-
pened to you. Sure, you may not
find themlodged in a box of cereal
or in the pond, but if you’ve got
keys, you’ve lost themat least once.
Nowthere’s no need to worry
about the next time. Electronics
manufacturer Cobra has found a
way to conquer this age-old dilem-
ma, using the power of GPSand
Bluetooth. As long as you have a
smartphone, you’re set.
Cobra has devised a GPS-en-
abled tag that can be attached to
keys and other small objects or
placed in bags or cars.
The tag is monitored by an app
on your smartphone, so you can
zero in on the lost object precisely.
You also can programalerts so
that the tag will tell you if the dis-
tance between your phone and the
tagged object exceeds 30 feet. You
can also trigger the tag’s alarm
fromyour smartphone, if, for
example, you lose your keys some-
where in your house.
Conversely, the tag features
controls that will allowit to ring
your phone, should you lose that.
The phone application can be
configured to lock your phone
automatically should it leave the
30-foot radius.
I guess it’s possible to lose both
your keys and your phone at the
same time. In that case, it’s likely
you’re out of luck. Alas, nobody
has managed to come up with a
foolproof solution for a bad day
yet.
The app is available for both
iPhone and Android and retails for
$60. W

ralphie report
the
By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender
I
n an interview which aired
Monday on “The Ralphie
Radio Show,” Selena Go-
mez shot down a pair of rumors
about her alleged involvement in
a new “Sex and the City” TV
series and a Britney Spears
tribute planned for the 2011
MTV Video Music Awards.
“I wasn’t allowed (to watch)
when I was younger, so I kind
of missed a lot,” Gomez said of
“SATC.” “But I used to watch a
couple episodes.”
The Disney star says the ru-
mor of her playing Charlotte in
the planned series is just that, a
rumor.
“I haven’t been approached,”
she said. “It would certainly be
an honor, but I haven’t been
approached.”
Gomez probably also thinks
participating in a Spears tribute
is an honor. After all, the starlet
pays homage to Spears every
evening on the “We Own the
Night” tour, performing and
dancing to a medley of her
tracks.
“No. That would be cool, too,
but no,” Gomez responded when
I brought up the reports of her
teaming up with Demi Lovato,
Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry and
possibly others at the VMAs
this Sunday. The star will co-
host the pre-show and present
an award later in the evening.
While these rumors generate
a good amount of press for
Gomez, she isn’t buying the
notion that “no press is bad
press.”
“That’s always kind of been a
part of it,” Gomez said in re-
sponse to all the coverage of her
personal life, namely her rela-
tionship with fellow pop star
Justin Bieber. “I think that’s a
part of everybody’s life when it
comes to what business they
kind of want to pursue, whether
it’s acting or singing, it just kind
of comes with the job I guess.”
The publicity certainly hasn’t
hurt Gomez and her diverse
career. She first made a name
for herself with Disney’s “The
Wizards of Waverly Place.”
This year, the Texas-born teen-
ager hit the silver screen with
“Monte Carlo” and released
“When the Sun Goes Down,”
her third album with The
Scene. Gomez credits her fans
and her inner circle for the suc-
cess.
“I definitely feel like I get
more and more confident with
each record,” Gomez said. “I’m
getting older, so it’s fun to ex-
plore that a little bit.”
Gomez believes the “gener-
ation gap” she currently finds
herself in at 19 led her to fall in
love with the song “Who Says,”
which was co-written by Pris-
cilla Renea.
“There were a couple of art-
ists that wanted the song, and as
soon as I heard it I sent (Priscil-
la) this long e-mail saying how
much the song meant to me and
how much I feel like it could
mean to my fans,” Gomez re-
vealed. “I get to try and make a
good impact on kids my age.”
The good impact translated to
Gomez’s highest charting song
to date. Now, she has moved on
to a second single from the
album, “Love You Like a Love
Song.”
“I just thought it was differ-
ent, and the right kind of step of
where I want to go,” Gomez
said of the Rock Mafia-written
single. “It’s more dance-y, more
fun, and it’s very repetitive. That
could be a good thing or a bad
thing, I guess.” W

A peer of artists like Minor
Threat, Washington, D.C.’s
Scream was probably almost as
well known for being the band
that Dave Grohl played in be-
fore joining Nirvana as it was
for being an integral part of
the hardcore scene in the
1980s. Like many other punk
bands, it followed the “live
fast, die young” mentality and
called it quits not long after
recording “Fumble” in 1990.
The story could have ended
there, and Scream would have
been yet another footnote in
rock history. However, the band
reformed in 2009, has been
touring ever since and recently
released “Complete Control
Sessions,” a seven-song EP and
the second installment in a
series of session recordings
from SideOneDummy Records.
“Complete Control Sessions”
isn’t a lengthy release (not even
20 minutes), but it doesn’t
need to be, either. In that short
time, Scream is able to be
emotive and melodic with
tracks “Stopwatch,” “Elevate,”
and “Get Free,” yet also har-
nesses pure energy on “Jamin’
at 606” and “Move (All
Alone).” Scream’s music sounds
every bit as angry as it did
during the band’s youth, but
also has a retrospective feel
that is appropriate for a veteran
act.
With the release of “Com-
plete Control Sessions,” Scream
did exactly what was needed:
Prove that the band can still be
relevant without straying too far
from what made it great. The
songs have just enough energy
and reckless abandon to be
noticed, but also have the ma-
turity and emotional depth to
show that Scream is more than
just a speedy noise-making
machine.
“Complete Control Sessions”
isn’t a great revival just for the
band, but also for a music
scene whose energy and signif-
icance still echoes loudly.

After just one listen to a song or two
from singer/songwriter and upright bass
player Amy LaVere’s newest album,
“Stranger Me,” it becomes clear that it
should be marketed in a combination
pack with a box of tissues and a bottle of
red wine. The quintessential breakup
record, “Stranger Me” may not have a
sound for all seasons and moods, but it is
packed with soul and contemporary blues
beats that deliver a relaxed, melancholy
appeal.
The title of the opening track, “Damn
Love Song,” pretty much explains the
state of emotional turmoil LaVere was in
while working on the album. Her youth-
ful, delicate voice delivers vengeful lyrics
with matter-of-fact sadness. Though the
beat on “You Can’t Keep Me” is decided-
ly more buoyant, the lyrics are, again,
very obvious in their message.
“Red Banks” has a mellowed-out bayou
feel, with quietly punchy strings and
horns, while “Lucky Boy” takes a more
jazz-inspired approach to the horns.
The classic country mood of songs like
“Tricky Heart” and the title track explain
why LaVere was such a good fit for a role
as rockabilly singer Wanda Jackson in the
2005 film, “Walk the Line.” But the over-
all blend of LaVere’s music doesn’t stick
to one genre, instead incorporating a mix
of country, blues, jazz and soul that en-
tirely becomes its own singular sound.
The standout on the album is the gauzy
“Cry My Eyes Out,” which boasts a sense
of lucent sadness with hauntingly familiar
lyrics.
Though “Stranger Me” is not the feel-
good album of the year, its thoughtful
music and poetic darkness serve to hoist
LaVere to the helm of Americana music
in its most complicated form.

“Stranger Me”
Rating: W W W1/2
Ultimate
breakup album
The Summer Set has always been a
band that could never be classified into
one specific genre. Its previous releases,
an EP and a full-length, switched back
and forth between soothing love songs
and upbeat punk tunes. It appears with
the band’s newest release, “Everything’s
Fine,” that The Summer Set made up its
mind about which type of band it truly is.
Abandoning all notions that it’s “punk,”
“Everything’s Fine” is filled with 11
Taylor Swift-like love songs — which is
fitting since its last release ended with
six Swift covers. Foreshadowing at its
finest.
This outing follows the decline of a
young romance told through the sounds
of bouncy hooks, poppy guitars and clean
vocals, all without sounding as cheesy as
Swift.
The album starts off with a gem that
shows the band’s growth. “About A Girl”
starts off as an acoustic ballad, then
builds into a full-on orchestral treat with
singer Brian Dales’ vocals soaring over
Jess Bowen’s drums. “Begin Again” just
might have this year’s catchiest chorus
capturing a small amount of the punk bite
the band had in the past. Likewise, up-
beat “Mannequin” captures the angst of a
young heartbreak gone wrong as well as
a pop song could be expected to do so.
“Everything’s Fine” may be a dis-
appointment to fans expecting more of
the same or an expansion of previous
tunes. The Summer Set is young and
experimenting to find the right sound.
The old saying, “take one step forward
and two steps back,” does not apply, and
in fact, the band may have set its self up
to take to take some very large steps
forward very soon.

sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
Weekender Correspondent
T
here I was, lying on the
floor in the hallway of
the Woodlands Inn &
Resort with my jeans down to
my ankles and my brand-new
trophy raised high in the air.
Flash! The bright light of a
digital camera woke me up.
“You better e-mail me that
picture!” I shouted as some
creepy guy who resembled Jon
Lovitz snapped a shot of my
debauchery.
For all he knew, judging by
my appearance, I was holding a
trophy honoring my survival of
getting gang-banged and taking
it like a champ! In truth, I was
holding my trophy from “Danc-
ing With The NEPA Stars.”
Earlier that night, I competed
in the championship round of a
charity dance event where local
celebrities raise money to keep
the arts alive in Northeastern
Pennsylvania. After three
months of rehearsing, cham-
pioning a prior round and rais-
ing thousands of dollars for a
great cause, I hustled my way
through a disco routine that
involved an afro, an orange
leisure suit and kickass white
platform shoes. In the end, I
found out that apparently you
can beat a frat boy at philan-
thropy, when the cougar took it
all!
“You’re goin’ places, kid,”
announced winner Rosemary
Broderick to the crowd. She
then presented me with a trophy
she had made for me that said
Champion Entertainer Award,
which was 10 times nicer than
her own award.
“You’re such a talented enter-
tainer that whether I won or lost
tonight, I still wanted you to
have this!”
That night I learned when
you do good things, you meet
good people.
Like Debbie Koshinski-Urban,
owner of Step by Step Dance
Studio, who gave me the confi-
dence to do something I’ve
never done before; my newest
friend Matthew Mariyampillai,
who took the time to make sure
my hip-hop moves were nothing
less than perfect; Mike and
Karen Lucey from the Tango
Tent who gave me tips only the
pros know; the people of Nasser
Limo who treated me like a
superstar all summer long; Lori
Rupp from The Hilton who
surprised me with a bottle of
champagne when I won the first
round; Alicia Paulino from
Tanfastic who kept me tan all
summer; Mitch Kornfeld from
The Woodlands who allowed
me to be a pop star for one
night; Jaworksi Signs, who
created T-shirts last minute so
my friends and family could let
everyone know they had Justin
Fever and Charles Taylor from
www.costumesupercenter.com,
who rushed the delivery of my
platforms to make sure I had
the coolest costume for my
event!
As the years come and pass,
whenever I think of “Dancing
With The NEPA Stars,” I will
look at my Champion Entertain-
er Trophy and think of all the
amazing people I met along the
way ... W
Champion
entertainer
Justin was presented
with a ‘Champion
Entertainer Award’ by
one of his competitors at
‘Dancing with the NEPA
Stars.’
F
or some musicians, the
idea of leaving behind the
comfortable haven of the
drum kit to stand front and cen-
ter might be daunting. But for
Brandon Saller, drummer for the
band Atreyu (which went on
hiatus earlier this year) and foun-
der and frontman of the new
Hell Or Highwater, the transition
was natural, and probably long
overdue.
“I’ve always been kind of
trapped behind the drum kit,”
Saller said when he checked in
with the Weekender from a Wal-
Mart in Huntington Beach, Cal-
if., where he was preparing last
minute details for the band’s
upcoming tour. “And I’ve said
this before, but it’s almost like
I’m let out of my cage now. And
I’m able to kind of get up in the
crowd more and have a good
time and be a little bit more
interactive, which I really enjoy.”
The aforementioned tour is
none other than Rockstar Energy
Drink Uproar Festival, which
features the likes of Avenged
Sevenfold and Three Days Grace
and will make a stop at the
Toyota Pavilion at Montage
Mountain on Saturday, Aug. 27.
According to Saller, it’s the best
tour Hell Or Highwater could
have possibly gotten lucky
enough to be a part of, as its
target demographic matches that
of the band.
Saller explained that the idea
of starting another band in addi-
tion to Atreyu wasn’t something
that he initially set out to do
when his songwriting started to
take a turn toward music that
didn’t necessarily mesh with
Atreyu’s metalcore nature, he
needed to find an outlet for it.
“(Branching out) was never
something that was in the front
of my mind,” he explained. “But
I think that the songs that I was
writing just kind of spoke to me
in a way that I didn’t want to
ignore.”
So he held some tryouts and
managed to find a group of guys
that he felt were perfect, not
only in terms of musical ability
but in terms of personalities:
Guitarist Matt Pauling, guitarist
Neal Tiemann, bassist Joey
Bradford and drummer Kyle
Peek.
And when Saller started ex-
perimenting with solo shows and
playing with different musicians
here and there, he came up with
the band’s former name, Black
Cloud Collective. It didn’t quite
stick though, especially after a
more solid lineup started to
form, so he and his bandmates
ditched the “collective” idea and
went with a moniker they felt
was more suitable.
“(The name) Black Cloud
Collective was more so my pro-
ject and my thing,” Saller ex-
plained. “And when I found the
band that was going to be per-
manent and that I wanted to have
stay with me, we needed some-
thing that was more about us ...
So we wanted something that
just spoke more to us as a band
rather than me as one person.”
In addition to scoring a spot
on the Uproar Festival, Hell Or
Highwater has an album out,
“Begin Again,” that features
songs not only written by Saller,
but by the band as a whole,
lending even more to the cohe-
sive feeling that emerged when
the fledgling band really started
to come into its own.
“Nine of the songs on ‘Begin
Again’ were written by just me,
all before I put the band togeth-
er,” Saller said. “And then once
we got together, I really wanted
to have the opportunity to write
with the rest of the guys.
“We ended up writing (three
songs) together … and it turned
out really great. I think those are
kind of three of the stand-out
tracks on the album, so I see a
really great future as far as writ-
ing with the band.” W

Tips
By Janelle Engle
Special to the Weekender
from a
barbie chick
T
he mixed feelings you get
about the cooler weather to
come is perfectly normal
— what is not is avoidance and
depression. In fact, if you’re
anything like me, you don’t just
welcome a change of seasons,
you enjoy it. If things stay the
same too long, I get bored.
Lucky for us, we live in Penn-
sylvania, where the weather is
unpredictable, and the seasons
change without warning. There-
fore, now is as good a time as
ever to start thinking autumn
leaves, cool breezes, jeans and
jackets. As far as the certain few
who feel things go more pleasant
when they are routine and hate
when anything changes, you
don’t have to be forced into a fall
wardrobe mindset just yet. But
start the transition process and
begin thinking about shoes be-
cause before you know it, you’ll
be forced to put away your flip-
flops and sandals, and try these
brand new fall options.
In fact, one of my favorite
shoes for fall can be worn for
these last months of summer.
Oxford shoes are a basic flat
shoe with laces that can be worn
either dressy or casual. They
were mostly popular in the ’50s,
but as most trends from the past
tend to do, they’re making a
comeback. They can look simple
and polished paired with a skirt
and tights or can be dressed
down with jeans. Since they
come in a variety of colors, I
suggest to pick up a pair in any
neutral shade and then another
one in a fun, bright color.
The other option for fall shoes
is a little dressier. Platform wedg-
es have been called “Lady Gaga
shoes” by the less fashion savvy,
but by those of us who know
better, these shoes are more
practical than they look. They
aren’t as difficult to walk in as
heels, but are more dressy than
the original wedge shoe. You get
the perfect combination going-
out shoe that you can wear with
just about everything — but only
if you’re daring enough. W
Janelle is heading to The Art
Institute of Philadelphia for
fashion merchandising this fall.

Taking the right
steps toward fall
Fall is right around the corner, and that means it’s time
to put away the flip-flops and go shoe shopping.

WHAT’S THAT SMELL? THE
HOT AND STINKY GARLIC
& HERB FESTIVAL!
The scent of garlic will waft
through Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia this weekend when the Keys-
tone State Hot and Stinky Gar-
lic & Herb Festival is held at
Zanolini Nursery & Country
Shop (603 St. Johns Road,
Drums) Saturday, Aug. 27 from
11 a.m.-8 p.m. and Sunday, Aug.
28 from11 a.m.-5 p.m.
Among the festival’s foodie
festivities is the Hot Pepper
Eating Contest, held Saturday at
1 p.m.; the Light ’Em Up Chili
Cook Off, which starts Sunday at
10:30 a.m. with judging at 3 p.m.
Festivalgoers can purchase a
spoon and tasting cup for $1, and
then vote for their favorite.
Vampires might want to get
lost during the Garlic Eating
Contest on Sunday from noon-1
p.m. Each contestant receives a
clove they must peel and eat
before moving on to the next
round. If the contest reaches the
twentieth round, the person who
can eat five cloves the fastest will
be declared the winner.
Other attractions at the festival
include music by The Two Of
Us, a Chinese auction that opens
Saturday at 11 a.m., with winners
picked Sunday at 5 p.m., and a
garden tour with Zanolini Nurs-
ery’s Jim Gibson.
For more info and complete
schedule, visit zanolininursery-
.com or call 570.788.3152.
BEER DELI
TO CHANGE HANDS
One of my favorite lunchtime
spots, The Beer Deli (175 Welles
St., Forty Fort) is in the works to
be sold to John and Jodie Riv-
ero of Shavertown. Frank and
Bob Roccograndi opened the
deli in 1987, and the closing is
expected to happen at the end of
August.
“We want to spend more time
with our grandchildren,” Bob
Roccograndi, 67, told The Times
Leader last week.
Fear not, frequent visitors, the
menu will remain the same.
“We want to do right by the
Roccograndi family,” said Riv-
ero, who has been in the private-
club industry for 20 years, in-
cluding with Glenmaura Na-
tional Golf Club in Moosic and
Fox Hill Country Club in Exe-
ter. “We don’t plan to make any
changes.”
Roccograndi shared that he
and his brother are passing along
all their recipes to the Riveros.
“You will have the same reci-
pes, free desserts and friendly
employees and ownership,” he
stated.
As much as I love just about
everything on The Beer Deli’s
menu, the free dessert, which is
often cookies or ice cream, is,
well, a pretty sweet way to end a
meal there.
The Beer Deli is open Mon-
day-Saturday from10 a.m.-7:30
p.m. For more info, call 288.8141
or visit beerdeli.com.
WOODSTOCK & WINE
Bethel Woods Center for the
Arts (200 Hurd Road, Bethel,
N.Y.) will hold its annual Wine
Fest Sunday, Aug. 28 from11
a.m.-4 p.m., featuring 20-plus
wineries from the Hudson Valley
and Finger Lakes. The event
also features short seminars, live
music and specialty food, cheese
and craft vendors.
The tasting fee is $10, which
includes a complimentary glass
while supplies last. Tickets are

master or 800.745.3000. General
admission is $5, as are tickets for
designated drivers. Parking is
free, and the event is rain or
shine.
Bethel Woods, which is about
three hours away from NEPA, is
located at the site of the 1969
Woodstock Festival. The proper-
ty also includes The Museum at
Bethel Woods, which, as stated
on its website, “is a leading au-
thority on the history of the
1960s and its transformative
impact on the world.”
As someone who has been to
the venue and its museum (and is
a fan of wine), I can’t imagine a
more perfect day — or setting!

We recently visited Marvelous
Muggs Restaurant & Pub on
Montage Mountain. This full
service restaurant and bar features
Steaks, Seafood, Burgers, and
Salads, and, of course, signature
dishes like the Corn Chowder, Fried
Pickles, Chicken & Biscuits, and
Pot Roast. Marvelous Muggs is
noted for the hundreds of “mugs”
on its walls---photos of past
guests, including a couple notable
faces. This comfortable, relaxed
restaurant’s amenities include a
large bar, patio (partially covered),
private dining rooms, and spacious
dining room with booths and seating
for large groups. The dining room,
patio, and banquet rooms overlook
Marvelous Muggs
beautiful Montage Mountain; one
of the best views in all Northeast
Pennsylvania.
The Weekender met with
Eric Brink, Marvelous Muggs’
General Manager, to find out why
Marvelous Muggs holds such a
special place in the hearts of diners.
“Really, you can sum up our success
to three things,” said Mr. Brink.
“The experience a guest will have-
--atmosphere, the great seasonally
fresh, locally sourced food, and the
wonderful people that work here
all mesh to make this a one-of-a-
kind dining experience! Not only
is Marvelous Muggs a beautiful
restaurant with its brass, rich wood
paneling, and gorgeous tile floors;
or the great views from our dining
room and patio; the photos are
what really give people that special
connection with that great dining
experience that they have with us.
They can memorialize a moment
in time, and have it forever! I
believe what makes us so special
is that incredible connection that
we develop with our guests---that’s
what makes them want to come
back again and again, and introduce
us to their friends and family.”
Any guest may request a photo as
a momento of their visit. Asked
further about the photos that cover
the walls, Mr. Brink continued,
“photos capture moments in time;
special moments that people want
to remember forever; technology
has given us the opportunity to
e-Mail images to a guest in a flash,
or to post them to our website or
Facebook. Of course, if a guest
likes, we can still put their photos
on our walls, which is really cool.”
The Weekender asked Mr.
Brink about the food a guest could
expect upon visiting Marvelous
Muggs: “Well, we take great
pleasure in preparing American fare
with the best quality and freshest
ingredients that we can. We’ve
taken that a step further by sourcing
as much produce as possible from
local farmers, and meats from
Pennsylvania, whenever possible.
This time of the year, you really
can taste the difference! Not only
that, but it’s very nice to be able to
support your neighbors---I think
this is where the chains really miss
out. We prepare every dish fresh to
order, and folks with allergy issues
or dietary restrictions, simply need
to ask, and we can produce a dish to
their specifications. This is
something that we take
great pride in!”
And
what about the
third factor in
the success
of Marvelous
Muggs? “We
have such a
great group,
from managers,
to bartenders,
to servers, to cooks,
even our dishwashers. They take
great pride in their work, because
they know that everything they do
contributes to the guest experience.
And many times those guests are
their friends or their family! We
have so many employees that have
been with us for a long time. Its
very rewarding to see them grow
and develop relationships with our
guests.”
What’s next for
Marvelous Muggs? “We have new
features every day; I would love to
do photos of the new Class of 2015,
and get to know these students
and their families; and we have
special events almost every week.
Marvelous Muggs is the destination
restaurant on Montage Mountain!”

Style files
By Rachel A. Pugh
Weekender General Manager
S
o Abercrombie & Fitch
doesn’t want “Jersey
Shore’s” Mike “The
Situation” Sorrentino
to wear its clothing anymore.
Publicity stunt? Maybe. A
blessing for all of us? It sure
would be. Of course, we have to
be tortured by seeing his stupid
abdomen more often than any
other style anyway (and I use
“style” lightly when speaking of
“The Situation”).
In hearing this celebrity gossip
— nope, I do not buy any celeb-
gossip magazines. I’d rather pour
rubbing alcohol in three-inch wide
paper cuts all day — it got me
thinking of how many styles or
trends should also be swiped from
the moronic yet oh-so-painfully
privileged celebs who exploit
them.
I have a long laundry list
of celebrities who make me
want to perform my own root
canals rather than hear another
word come out of their mouths,
especially the ones who run
around hanging on nothing more
than the hope that someone finds
them sexy rather than reaching
into their pockets to give back
to those in need. So let’s take a
look at some stars who should be
forbidden to sport their “style.”
• Jennifer Lopez
Ah yes, she’s just little Jenny
from the block. The disadvantaged
girl next door who skipped down
the sidewalks of the Bronx. She’s
just like you and me. She’s Jenny.
Jenny who demands pure-white
Celebs, you are so out of style
tissues and flowers in her room
before a performance. Jenny who
makes millions by singing about
the block and who can afford to
take those millions and rebuild an
entire block of homes, schools,
hell, even a damn playground.
Who has the time when you’re
branding new perfumes? Your
street cred is dead. Remove the
big hoop earrings.
• Tyra Banks
Disgusted by her inflated
ego and manic outbreaks any
time someone calls her out on
something, Tyra has made a
career saying it’s OK to be fat and
ugly and no one should judge you
on that — made clear, of course,
when she wore a fat suit that she
could later climb out of. But she
experienced the real backlash
of it all and cried as struggling
overweight women hugged and
comforted her. All of this after her
career was launched by modeling
underwear. No more skivvies for
you Tyra.
• Mariah Carey
Too busy to get dressed for
a live interview several years
back, Mariah donned a stage
in nothing but a short robe.
Desperate to convince everyone
she’s a sex kitten, if still not
convinced, perhaps she can
convince everyone she can hit
really high notes every single
time she does an interview. Every.
Single. Time. Better yet, in case
you didn’t notice, Mariah has big
knockers. Don’t worry, she wears
the plunging neckline every damn
place she goes. Did you see them?
Aren’t they huge? Oh! I am so
happy Mariah depends solely on
her cleavage to display her worth.
No more v-necks for you Mariah.
• Paris Hilton
Did you ever notice Paris
Hilton has new tiny pups every
few months? Want to know why?
She gets bored with them like
any other out of date accessory.
The SPCAcalled. No more toy
puppies for you Paris.
• Heidi Montag
Well, this one is just too
easy. Save the melons for the
family picnics, perhaps even
the family reunions. Heidi,
the farmers want you cut
off from watermelons.
Sadly, I could go
on and on, but then
you’ll just begin to
believe I’m an angry,
angry lady. I guess
in a way I am. I am
all for reinventing
yourself. I am all for
keeping your name
in the spotlight if your
career depends upon
it. But I feel with fame
comes a responsibility.
And that responsibility is
not merely behaving badly,
pocketing every dollar you
have for your next bullshit music
video or disastrous film, and
getting paid millions of dollars
to flash a smile and pose for a
magazine cover.
I guess that’s just not my style.
W
Celebrities like Mariah Carey, Paris Hilton, Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino, Jennifer Lopez and
Heidi Montag need to get their act together.

VIRGO(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Your conscience may dictate that you
should stand by and allowsomeone to
attempt a good deed, regardless of whether
they’re really qualified. Your conscience,
however, is wrong. Howcan a non-swim-
mer rescue someone fromdrowning? If
they dive in, no matter their laudable in-
tentions, it’ll just make matters worse.
Intentions are all well and good, and should
be cheered on and encouraged, of course —
but the ability to successfully follow
through on those intentions is arguably
more important, wouldn’t you say? If they
don’t have it, speak up. That may mean
you’ll have to take their place —but better
that than the alternatives.
LIBRA(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
There’s a difference between, say, exag-
gerating your accomplishments to get a
little more attention or develop your self-
confidence, and simply telling extravagant
lies to make yourself look good. While the
former definitely occupies a gray area, it’s
mostly a forgivable and understandable
offense (who doesn’t beef up their resume
with a fewembellishments?). However, be
sure you don’t cross the line and tell truly
tall tales. First of all, you’re much more
likely to get caught. Secondly, when your
lies are discovered, the people you told
themto will feel not so much impressed as
…betrayed.
SCORPIO(OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Emotions fade over time. That’s their
nature. Sometimes that means you can
romanticize themlong after the fact, not
truly remembering howit really was. It also
means you might have trouble recalling
their actual intensity, so that they pale in
comparison to what you’re feeling right
now. What you felt then may have been just
as powerful; you just can’t be sure, any-
more. That’s why we were lucky to be born
with brains and the power of rational
thought, too. It’s a fine thing to mostly live
by the dictates of your heart, but when
feelings can’t entirely be trusted, be sure to
employ a little logic and sense, too, won’t
you?
SAGITTARIUS(NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Most humans experience a conflict daily,
between what we want and what we think is
expected of us. Since those two things are
rarely in harmony, we do constant battle,
either suppressing our real desires in order
to meet those expectations, or rebelling
against external pressures in order to pursue
our real dreams and passions. This isn’t an
easy thing to resolve, and a hard and fast
rule will never do. This week, erring on the
side of doing what’s expected is probably
best, just in case your desires are fleeting. If
they’re still going strong in a week or two,
then you can start thinking about howto
indulge them.
CAPRICORN(DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
Capricorns are often guilty of bringing
their work home. Sometimes it’s unavoid-
able. If you’re a doctor, capable of saving
someone’s endangered life, not trying
because you were on vacation would be
criminal, morally if not legally. While I
heartily endorse your decision to more
strictly enforce the boundaries between
work and the rest of your life —so you can
enjoy your life —please remember: Shit
happens. Sometimes those rules simply
must be broken. When a truly good reason
to cross that line presents itself, please don’t
hesitate —and to hell with anyone who
gives you shit about it.
AQUARIUS(JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
While you may wish there was someone
else to fulfill your needs, that’s simply not
always the case. Even when there’s some-
one who’s willing doesn’t mean there’s
someone who’s able. Therefore you must
learn to take care of yourself. And lest you
think this entire horoscope is about mastur-
bation, I do mean needs and desires that
emanate fromplaces other than your crotch
(although it certainly applies to those as
well). Self-reliance is the name of the game
this week —hell, this month and this year.
Once you have that, finding those who can
help you simply make your life better (and
not just “fill a hole”) will be that much
easier.
PISCES(FEB. 19-MARCH20)
Unless it actually is your job (i.e., you’re
getting paid real money), it’s not your job to
be someone’s guardian angel, knight in
shining armor or therapist. However, peo-
ple knowyou’re a softy and tend to shove
you into those roles, anyway. That’s got to
stop. Even though it feels good to help
people, generally, this doesn’t feel good.
That’s because it’s above and beyond what
should be required of anyone (who isn’t
getting paid). Therefore, walk away, close
the door and lock it. If that’s not enough to
keep you fromending up in that place any-
way, start charging.
ARIES(MARCH21-APRIL19)
Unless you’ve learned to actually read
minds, you only think you knowwhat’s
going on inside someone else’s head. Be-
cause you’re so often right about these
things, you may make the mistake of be-
lieving you’re correct this time, too —only
it’s very likely you’re not. Check yourself
and what you think you know. It’s probable
that you’re completely off-base, and acting
on your wrongful assumptions could cause
a shit stormyou really don’t want. Back off
until someone tells you what’s up. If you
really can’t wait for themto offer the in-
formation you need, don’t assume anything,
ask.
TAURUS(APRIL20-MAY20)
No matter howhard they try to make you
think otherwise, other people’s baggage is
not your baggage. That’s not to say you
don’t have any, Taurus. Most Bulls have
trouble fitting all theirs on one airport
luggage cart. But when someone attempts
to dump their emotional crap on you, then
convince you it’s yours, call “Shenanigans”
on that bullshit. In fact, it might be best if
you don’t engage with it at all. It’s like one
of those sponge capsules you throwin water
and it expands into a dinosaur; the more
attention and energy you give it, the bigger
it’ll grow. Cut it off, and cut out, before
things get messier than they already are.
GEMINI (MAY21-JUNE20)
What’s done is done. Letting go of the
past and moving on fromexactly here is this
week’s focus. However, someone may very
well be trying to fool you into thinking
some things can be undone, forgotten or
erased. That’s total bullshit. Sure, you can
engage in an expansive game of intensive
make believe if you want to, but sooner or
later that carefully-crafted illusion will
shatter, and you’ll wish you hadn’t. It’s
better to actually deal with this stuff now,
and consciously incorporate it into whatev-
er happens next. The only way a fresh start
is going to happen is in a totally different
place with totally different people, so don’t
expect one here and now.
CANCER(JUNE21-JULY22)
Although it’s frequently tempting to
describe things that are happening to you in
the most extreme way possible —so as to
best reflect the intensity of your experience
—it’s also somewhat juvenile. Even if
everything in your life feels that dramatic,
you must learn to apply a rational perspec-
tive to this stuff and save the big drama guns
for the very rare occasions when they might
be necessary. If you pull themout once a
week, I promise you they’ll lose their im-
pact in about three weeks. You don’t want to
be the boy who cried wolf, do you? Wait
until there’s really a wolf in the room, then.
LEO(JULY23-AUG. 22)
Most Leos resist change. Ironically, as a
fire sign, you also find change exciting —
once you give yourself a chance to get used
to it. This week’s challenge is navigating
this internal contradiction. Mostly, that
means resisting your own knee-jerk reac-
tion. Bite your tongue while you give new
ideas a chance to settle, a process that may
require a day or three. If you still think it’s a
terrible idea next week, then maybe it is.
But if you shut up nowand decide you like
it later, you’ll be able to embrace it whole-
heartedly —without having to eat your
words. W

Gwen
Garrett-Blasi
Wilkes-Barre
N
ortheastern Pennsylvania is a special place for
Gwen Garrett-Blasi. Working for the Wilkes-
Barre mayor’s office, Gwen has a passion
for the downtown’s revitalization. Excited about now
having things to do in the city after work, she also
considers Wilkes-Barre a prime locale, what with the
city just two hours from either New York City or “the
shore” — and feels the W-B is the ideal spot for people
to call home.
“We have the best of both worlds,” she expresses.
An avid shopper and cook, Gwen’s professional and
personal charisma speaks for itself. So who is Gwen
Garrett-Blasi?
Community involvement: Sits on the boards
for: Dress For Success and Make-A-Wish Foundation.
She also gives a monthly donation to the children of
Somalia.
Hobbies: I enjoy reading a good book (currently
reading “The Help”) and taking in a movie. I love to
cook and get together with my friends and try out new
recipes, and I am always up to try out a new restaurant
— have a great meal, a glass of good wine and just
unwind. I enjoy dancing, my new adventure is taking a
zumba class at our downtown YMCA. It’s really great
because not only is it fun, you’re exercising too! I would
be remiss if I didn’t mention my passion: I am a bit
of a fashion diva when it comes to shopping and shoe
shopping (never saw a shoe I didn’t like).
Favorite quotes: “Always remember in life you
may not get everything you want, but you will always
get everything you need.” — my mom.
“I really don’t think life is about the I-could-have-
beens. Life is only about the I-tried-to-do. I don’t mind
the failure, but I can’t imagine that I’d forgive myself if
I didn’t try.” — Nikki Giovanni.
Claim to fame: Being featured in the Weekender’s
“Who Is.”
Favorite movie: “The Color Purple” and “The
Godfather.”
One thing most people don’t know about
me: That I was shy and was not as outgoing as I am
now (thank God).
One thing I’ve always wanted to do: Open a
boutique!
If your best friend were to describe you, what
would he/she say? I am a great listener and try to
see all sides. If I am your friend, I am a friend for life
— even if I don’t have an opportunity to hang out with
them all the time. When we get together, we don’t miss
a beat — we pick up right where we left off. I’ll make
the best of a bad situation with laughter, and we always
have a good time no matter what we decide to do....
Who is...
Executive Assistant,
to Mayor Thomas Leighton
