Letter from the editor
I’ve always been a huge
animal lover, to the point
where I never had the
natural fear some people
do of four-legged crea-
tures. Perhaps that was to
my detriment, because
when I was a wee little
babe, I was constantly
being reprimanded for
walking up to strange
dogs and sticking my face
right up in theirs to say
hello.
When Nikki Mascali
and I visited the Hillside
SPCAin Pottsville to
gather information for
this week’s cover story,
shelter manager Barbara
Umlauf took us to the
roomwhere potential
owners and dogs can get
to knowone another, and
we were greeted by a huge
Shar-pei/pitbull mix
named Pinky.
While some may have feared
Pinky for her bully face and enor-
mous body, Nikki and I were both
thrilled to meet the big ball of
love, and I, of course, had no fear
of kneeling down next to her so
we could really bond —luckily,
the worst thing she did to me was
knock me over so she could lick
my face off.
Meeting Pinky and all the other
animals there, including four wild
dogs (one of which graces our
cover) that were rescued and have
gone frombeing afraid of people
to walking on leashes, was a mov-
ing experience in its own right.
But talking to Barbara and spend-
ing a morning with the crewthat
keeps Hillside operating on a
daily basis made me understand
why Josh Somits and Dan Ki-
sacky felt so compelled to launch
the Hillside to Seaside Bike Tour
to benefit the shelter. You can read
about the work they’re doing,
along with a more in-depth look at
Hillside, on pages 16-17.

Loveable Pinky intently watches

“Five cats: Gia, Freddie, Uni,
Harold and Ronald Reagan.”
“This is our ‘pet’ named Dog.
He’s a wire sculpture made by
local artist, Sean Brady, and
he’s super low maintenance.”
“I have a cat named Chivas who
I have a love/hate relationship
with.”
“A beagle/basset named Sam.”
“A cat, Mylie ... and temporary
custody of my niece’s pug, Leo.”
“A dog named Sherlock, a
mixed-breed who is probably
the most loving dog I’ve ever
encountered.”
“I have a gray tiger cat. His name
is Emmitt. He is quite dominant.”
“I have two bearded dragons
named Hunter and Charlie
Murphy, who is pictured above.”
If you currently have a pet,
what is it and what’s its name?

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
DOUBLE AGENTS
“When I get to Africa, I have
to worship him,” said Elizabeth
Osei, part-time first lady of the
Akwamu people of eastern Gha-
na, speaking of her husband
Isaac, who is the Akwamu chief.
“When I get back, he has to
worship me” (because Elizabeth
is the president of the couple’s
New York City taxi company,
where they work 12-hour days
when they’re not Ghanian roy-
alty). Isaac’s reign, according to
an August New York Times
report, covers several months a
year and requires divine-like
wisdom in adjudicating his peo-
ple’s disputes. Another New
Yorker with a prestigious double
life is Mohamed Mohamed, a
state transportation bureaucrat,
who recently returned to his
cubicle in Buffalo, N.Y., after
nine months as prime minister
of Somalia. The Buffalo News
reported that the Somali native,
though shocked by the level of
the country’s dysfunction, at
least got to stand up to “terror-
ists, pirates and warlords” and
“address dignitaries from the
United Nations.”
LATEST RELIGIOUS
MESSAGES
-- My Rules: The Aug. 6
revival spectacular in Houston,
billed as a day of prayer and
attended by 30,000 people at
Reliant Stadium, was also billed
as a day of fasting, which appar-
ently took at least a few wor-
shipers by surprise, and Reliant’s
concession stands (which were
open all day) only added to the
temptation to ignore the fast.
One otherwise-devout man from
San Angelo, Texas, told the
Texas Tribune that it was OK
for him to eat because of an
“agreement” he “made with God
earlier.”
-- Defining “Smite” Down:
Fed up with the theft of Bibles
from the Basilica of San Salva-
tore al Monte in Florence, Italy,
the Franciscan priests in charge
posted signs and spoke prayers
urging the pilferer to repent. In
the event that he does not, re-
ported London’s Daily Telegraph
in August, the prayer asked that
the thief be afflicted with “a
strong bout of the (runs).”
AMERICA IN DECLINE
-- Direct Pipelines from the
Pentagon to U.S. Enemies: (1) A
U.S. military investigation dis-
closed (according to a July
Washington Post report) that at
least four of the eight Afghan
trucking firms involved in a
$2.16 billion Pentagon contract
designed to ferry supplies to
American troops are likely to
have employed subcontractors
with direct ties to the Afghan
Taliban. (2) United Nations
investigators revealed (according
to an August New York Times
report) that about half of the
U.S.-supplied weapons for Ugan-
dan and Burundian troops to
battle the Somalian terror group
al-Shabab have ultimately wound
up in al-Shabab’s hands. (The
poorly paid Ugandan and Burun-
dian troops apparently found
arms sales more profitable than
fighting terrorists.)
PEOPLE WITH ISSUES
-- Ned Nefer, 38, pushed a
6-foot mannequin along U.S.
Highway 11 in June, for 65
miles from Syracuse, N.Y., to
Watertown, N.Y., because “(The
mannequin and I) really love the
outdoors.” The mannequin, Nef-
er said, is his wife “Teagan,”
who came to Nefer merely as a
head but for whom Nefer con-
structed a body and “married” in
1986. Said a Watertown social
services worker, to the Water-
town Daily News, “I wouldn’t
classify (Nefer) as dangerous at
all. He seemed quite happy in
his own little world.” Nefer’s
“first” wife passed away, and it
is possible, the social services
lady said, that this is his way of
dealing with the loss.
LEAST COMPETENT
CRIMINALS
-- Charged with crimes that
could send him to prison for
life, Gary LaBon, 50, nonethe-
less chose to defend himself at
trial and told the jury in August
that any kidnapping, rape or
assault he might have committed
on the 69-year-old woman in
Hawthorne, Calif., in 2009 was
“self-defense.” LaBon insisted
that he was in fear for his life
because the woman was a “gang
member.” Judge Kathryn Solor-
zano took the unusual step of
advising the jury to “disregard
most of what Labon said during
his argument,” according to the
Daily Breeze of Torrance, Calif.
(Jurors quickly convicted LaBon
on all counts, and he awaits
sentencing.)
RECURRING THEMES
-- From time to time, Tibetan
Buddhists inadvertently support
the seafood industry with cam-
paigns of “liberation” of living
beings. In August, a Buddhist
group purchased 534 lobsters
from a Gloucester, Mass.,
wholesaler, sprayed them with
holy water, clipped off their claw
bindings, and released them into
the Atlantic Ocean. (Of course,
the lobsters were almost certain-
ly re-caught, by Gloucester lob-
stermen.) (A 2004 News of the
Weird story from Marina del
Rey, Calif., reported that a
Buddhist group made monthly
pilgrimages to the harbor, pur-
chased bait and “liberated” it,
though it almost certainly was
immediately eaten by fish.)

The convenient Russian myth that “beer” (up to
10 percent alcohol by volume) is a “soft drink”
will end shortly, following the enactment
of restrictions signed by President Dmitry
Medvedev in July. Beer had been rapidly
replacing vodka as the country’s primary
alcoholic beverage, as people drank it with
impunity around the clock in public places
(since they pretended they were consuming
nothing more powerful than a “cola”).

I
ndependent music has be-
come increasingly popular
over the years, with bands
starting up on their own to bring
their sound to the airwaves. It’s a
time where “garage bands” no
longer just linger in the garage,
but work their way fromone local
venue to another. And as listeners,
we get to pick and choose froma
buffet of audible pleasure treats,
something that had been nearly
impossible when major record
labels decided what would be
spread to the masses.
And for Stroudsburg local
Edelweiss, it took the next step in
spreading its music with the re-
lease of its debut EP, “Pre-Colum-
bians,” which came out Tuesday,
Sept. 13, and the upcoming re-
lease showat the Sherman Thea-
ter Saturday, Sept. 17 at 6 p.m.
Niko Porlier, guitarist/vocalist
for Edelweiss, is excited about
finally releasing the EP, which
had originally been scheduled to
come out in July, and the Sher-
man show.
“It’s pretty much our debut to
the world,” he said. “We’ve never
released anything before this
except for the ‘No’ single. So this
is really our first shot at every-
thing. I think if people like indie
music, it’s a good addition to that
world, which is quickly growing
now. I think it’s important to
broaden your spectrum.”
Having only been around for
about a year and a half, Porlier
said the band started out as just
himself and his younger brother
Coby on drums with their father
playing bass. Eventually, bassist/
vocalist Tommy Vitale and guita-
rist Tony Young joined up with
the group. Porlier said they all got
together because each of them
had a love for music, his own
coming fromgrowing up listen-
ing to musicians such as Jimi
Hendrix.
“I was one of those kids who,
when I listened to music, I didn’t
picture the artist playing it,” he
said. “I pictured myself playing
their music. I think that’s kind of
what set it up for me wanting to
be in a band.”
Influenced by other indie bands
such as Bloc Party and Arctic
Monkeys, Porlier and Vitale
described the band’s sound as
upbeat and punkish. And while
they are all still young, with mem-
bers’ ages ranging from15-17,
Vitale said they have been work-
ing hard to rehearse and write
newsongs during their free time,
which is mostly just Friday nights
due to school and other schedule
conflicts.
“It’s a long process but totally
worth it,” Vitale said. “All of our
songs are different, none of them
sound the same. Every song is
influenced by a different band and
has a whole different mood.”
The setlist for Saturday’s show
at the Sherman, which the band
often refers to as “home base”
since it’s played the venue regu-
larly, includes the five tracks from
the newEP as well as some of its
other original music. Vital shared
that NewJersey natives Brick-
+Morter and Rewind the Crisis
and East Stroudsburg-based
Mostly Lows are also on the
night’s lineup. The first 500 peo-
ple who come to the showwill
receive a code for a free download
of “Pre-Columbians.”
For the members of Edelweiss,
they feel this is a great opportuni-
ty for themto reach out further
and share the music that they love
to play with the area where they
got their start. And according to
Porlier, it’s not an opportunity that
will happen often.
“This isn’t going to be happen-
ing again for a long time,” he said.
“We don’t want to overplay the
area, but would rather spread out
some. If you want to see what it’s
all about and hear the music for
yourself, come see the show.” W
Edelweiss released its debut CD, ‘Pre-Columbians,’ Tuesday, Sept. 13. Its cover is
pictured below.
Edelweiss EP-release show,
Sat., Sept. 17, 6 p.m., Sherman

‘I can’t possibly turn them away’
Workers’ selflessness inspires bicycle-
tour fundraiser for Hillside SPCA
By Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Staff Writer
C
all it fate. Call it coincidence.
Call it whatever you’d like,
but it’s hard to deny that
sometimes, the toughest
decisions are made for us. This was true
for Barbara Umlauf, manager of the
Hillside SPCA, Inc. in Pottsville, who
was catapulted into her current position
because of some serendipitous events
and her very big heart.
“Any animal from Schuylkill County,
we will never say no to — no matter
what — because people will dump
them,” she said in a recent interview at
the shelter. “They will get rid of them.
In fact, that was my first hard lesson I
learned. We only had eight spaces, it was
a real small place. And I said to (a man
who was surrendering a dog), could you
just give us till the weekend, because
maybe we could get a home for it. And
he said OK. Well, one night I get a call
from the state police.”
The dog had been hit by a car, near
a road notorious for being a dumping
ground for unwanted pets.
“So then I made my mind up.”
Umlauf said. “I can’t do it. I can’t
possibly turn them away.”
Fast forward 26 years, and Umlauf
is still giving animals shelter. She gave
up teaching to help adopt out a few
furry friends when the shelter’s previous
owners passed away and ended up
staying on board.
“I thought, well, this won’t be hard,
it’s only eight dogs and 10 cats, and we’ll
get them homes,” she explained. “Well,
here we are, 26 years later. As we were
getting them out, they just kept coming
in … But it’s really been amazing
because of the support of people.”
It’s one thing to run a shelter, but
quite another to give the animals the
space and attention they need to be
ready and suitable for adoption. Hillside,
which is a no-kill shelter funded entirely
on donations, is operated by about 20-
30 employees and about 20 regular
volunteers who give time, energy and
affection willingly.
The dogs, of which there are
anywhere from 80-100 at any given time,
are housed in two different buildings,
with heated floors and free reign of the
indoor and outdoor closures all day
long. The approximately 250 cats have
the same freedom, lounging languidly
on scratching posts and closed-in
porches and, sometimes, on the desk and
windowsill of the office.
“We try to make it as nice here as we
can, because for a lot of them, this is the
only home they’re ever going to have.”
Umlauf said.
Though the amenities Umlauf and her
dedicated workers offer the animals are
substantial, those amenities cost money.
Umlauf approximated that the shelter’s
electric bill is $1,000 monthly, while
Animals, including the cat and dogs pictured above, seem to enjoy the amenities Hillside SPCA provides.
Bottom right, Dan Kisacky and Josh Somits will ride from Hillside to Seaside to beneft the no-kill shelter.
“We try to make
it as nice here
as we can,
because for
a lot of these
animals, this is
the only home
they’re ever
going to have.”
Hillside SPCA Manager
Barbara Umlauf
its yearly bills are $20,000 for oil and
$45,000 for insurance.
“Not only do you have to take care of
them, but you have to raise the money to
take care of them. So it’s full-time,” she
said.

Somits explained that the duo isn’t
professionally involved in biking —
it’s simply a hobby they both enjoy.
And riding for a cause they’re both
passionate about makes it that much
more satisfying.
“We’re no Joe Snedekers, we just
like to ride bikes,” he said, referring to
the WNEP-TV meteorologist who logs
hundreds of miles on his annual charity
bike ride. “I think it’s hard today, in our
economy, to just ask for money. So what
we’re constantly trying to do within the
organization is try to think of unique
ways that people can enjoy fundraising.
So Dan and I thought about what we like
to do and then how we could use that to
our advantage to benefit Hillside.”
The contribution that will be made
after the bike ride will be added to
Joe’s Fund, a special fund in memory
of Umlauf’s son, that pays for spaying,
neutering and emergency veterinarian
care.
“If it wasn’t for people like Josh and
Dan, we would be lost,” Umlauf said.
“I wake up, and I shudder, thinking,
what if people don’t help? And nobody
appreciates it more than we do. I write
thank-you cards consistently. And people
say, ‘You don’t have to.’ To me, I want
to, because it means so much that people
are helping.”
The feeling of respect and
appreciation is mutual.
“Giving what she has for the last 26
years,” Somits said. “It doesn’t feel like
a lot for us to do this over the course of
five days, ride our bikes. Yeah, some
days suck, some days it’s really hard ...
it’s nothing compared to what they give,
everyone who works there.” W
Just about every day at Hillside sees a
catastrophic event of some sort, whether
it involves the rescue of dogs and cats,
cows and chickens, birds and rabbits or
buffalo and horses. Most of the other
animals are transported to sanctuaries
specific to their species, but the fact that
Hillside has a hand in those kinds of
rescues displays just part of the depth of
the shelter’s responsibilities.
The fact that it is run entirely
on donations makes fundraising an
absolute necessity, and the shelter has
a fundraising committee in place that
works hard to come up with a variety of
different events
“It’s really important that we reach
people in so many ways,” said Janine
Choplick, a Humane Police Officer and
Hillside worker. “Whether it’s education
or just remembering that we’re here and
that we don’t get funds from the county
or the state or anything like that.”
SETTINGTHEWHEELS
IN MOTION
T
he inspiring efforts of Umlauf
are what piqued the attention
of Avoca resident Josh Somits,
who adopted his dog, Sally, from the
shelter. Somits and his friend Dan
Kisacky of Beaver Meadows will launch
their Hillside to Seaside Bicycle Tour,
departing from the shelter on Saturday,
Sept. 17.
“I think one of the biggest inspirations
to me is Barbara Umlauf,” Somits
shared. “I think that’s incredible for
someone to give up their entire life and
dedicate it to something like that. To
me, that is greater than any other type of
success, being absolutely selfless, and
giving yourself to someone or something,
not expecting anything in return.”
Somits explained that the
approximately 260-mile bike ride, which
will end in Lusby, Md., and will take
about five days, is a no-frills athletic
venture.
“Essentially that kind of riding is
called bike touring,” he said. “Because
you have everything you need. You have
some food, you have your camping gear,
all of your clothing, and everything is
actually on your bike.”
Each night of the trip will entail
setting up camp, whether it’s at a
campground, in the woods or in a Good
Samaritan’s backyard, a seemingly
unconventional method that comes with
the territory.
“If it comes down to it, if we see
somebody’s house, and they just kind of
look like a friendly type of person, we’ll
knock on the door and ask them if we
can borrow their backyard for a night,”
he said.
Thanks to the efforts and love from Hillside’s workers, many animals who might not have been
considered suitable for adoption are now ready to fnd a new home.

but then again ...
By Jim Rising
Weekender Correspondent
I
nto every crevice, every
weak spot, the inquisitive
snout went. Seeking any
foothold it roamed and
moaned its unstoppable pow-
er around. Catching a bit of
tin here, a full grown, dec-
ades-old tree there, it nib-
bled, wrestled, shoved and
ultimately triumphed. Not
humble in victory, it
shrieked in delight with the
voice of thousands of years
of domination over the land
and sea. Don’t tell me it
doesn’t know. It knows. It’s
as alive as we are and just
waits.
People say it sounds like a
freight train. That’s pale.
Add together a freight train,
hundreds of jet engines
spooling up to full power,
the closest, most hair-raising
crack of thunder and every
Fourth of July finale you
have ever witnessed. Multip-
ly that by fear. You have
only an inkling of the
sound.
Helpless, held in its thrall,
you see trees bend more
than they should, leaves car-
pet the ground inches thick,
loosened limbs fly like pro-
jectiles into the ground. The
rain is not falling, it is be-
ing fired at you like sting-
ing bullets, non-stop.
And the aftermath? We
were lucky in the sense that
we lived. We had no live-
stock to be grabbed and
flung, no automobiles to
replace. We came through
better than some and worse
than others. The roof is the
blue of plastic tarp. The
apple and pear trees, older
than me by far, are buffets
for the deer who can reach
the succulent fruit on the
very tippy top of the 100
footer without straining their
necks. Enjoy, brother and
sister, for it will be a long
time if ever that fruit comes
from our backyard. The
power back on, we could see
to throw out spoiled TV
dinners and suspicious
smelling milk.
They say it comes in
threes. If so, this track goes
earthquake, Irene and Lee.
The earthquake rocked me
in my easy chair. We felt
the wrath of Irene. We shud-
der to think of the future of
those who get to speak the
words “inundated by Lee.”
It’s hard to process right
now. We reel from circum-
stance to catastrophe and
spend much of it too
numbed to take it all in. We
move and walk and think
like zombies, overstressed,
over-informed, overwhelmed.
Then, in the midst of a
thought, “Let’s pick that up
at Kmart” or “Want to go to
the Garden Drive-In flea
market?,” reality sets in
again.
“Courage,” Dan Rather
once said. It’s as good a
message as any. W
It came in
threes
They say it comes
in threes. If so, this
track goes
earthquake, Irene
and Lee. The
earthquake rocked
me in my easy
chair. We felt the
wrath of Irene. We
shudder to think of
the future of those
who get to speak
the words
“inundated by
Lee.”

novel approach
T
he term“chick-lit” has such
a negative connotation. One
immediatelyimagines a
lonelyspinster readingit, living
vicariouslythroughthe book’s
characters while eatinga boxof
chocolates purchasedinconjunc-
tionwithcat foodanda collector’s
editionmagazine celebratingthe
royal wedding.
Jennifer Weiner, though, has
beenwritingchick-lit since before it
was a “thing,” andher most recent
book, “ThenCame You,” proves
that while she mayfall intothe
ranks of the terminallyidealistic,
her prose carries her a headabove
the rest.
The novel tells the storyof four
womenlivingindifferent worlds,
Jules Strauss, Annie Barrow, India
BishopandBettina Croft, whose
paths cross thanks toeggdonations,
surrogacyandfailedpregnancies.
Jules unwittinglydonates her egg
toIndia, whohas marrieda wealthy
older manandfinds she cannot get
pregnant. Annie becomes India’s
surrogate, carryingthe babytoterm
eventhoughshe has twochildren
anda husbandof her owntohandle,
andBettina is India’s newstep-
daughter, determinedtofindout if
the newwife is the gold-digger she
suspects her tobe.
Eventually, the womencome to
knowone another andfindthat the
childtheyall hada handincreating,
Rory, has brought themtogether.
Thoughthe plot is tragically
sentimental at times, Weiner’s
sophisticatedandintrospective
writingtakes it toanother level. The
chapters are alternatelytoldthrough
first-personnarratives of eachof
the characters, but the reader is still
oftenleft toponder over their mo-
tives, especiallyinIndia’s case. The
womenare across the boardwhenit
comes tosocial class, financial
status andmarital bliss, but the
author effortlesslychanges voices,
imperceptiblyusingtone andlan-
guage todifferentiate between
them.
India’s storyis the most in-depth
andthe most disheartening. At first,
she comes off as a coldandcalcu-
latinguser, but as the reader gets to
knowmore about her life andher
feelings, she becomes more recog-
nizable, more appealingandmore
likable. All four characters’ lives
get messy, but she deals withit in
the most realistic andunpleasant
way.
“ThenCame You” examines the
challenges associatedwithbalanc-
ingwhat your life reallyis withhow
others perceive it. Identityis every-
thingtoJules, Annie, India and
Bettina, andthe reader gets tosee
eachof themstruggle withtheir
feelings, dreams andfears and
come toterms withthe unsettling
changes theyundergo.
It’s true that the endresult is a
happylittle package all tiedupina
bow, witha fairytale endingin
some ways, but that’s what we come
toWeiner for inthe first place: Real
womenwithreal problems, plots
that induce recordlevels of tears
andunrealisticallyhappyendings.

Music on the menu
By Alan K. Stout
Weekender Music Columnist
T
he band Mountain Blood
has more than just the
surrounding Appalachians
through its veins. It also has a
strong desire to write songs. In
fact, drummer Tim Craig says
songwriting began almost in-
stantly once the group was
formed.
“We had four practices, and
then played a benefit,” says
Craig. “And it just took off. The
magic was there. We’d be play-
ing, and somebody would just
start up with three chords, and
the next thing you knew, we had
a song.”
Mountain Blood, based out of
the Berwick area, formed in
2010. It also features Kevin Ri-
dall on guitars and vocals, Phil
Smith on guitars, bass and vocals
and Jason Smith on keyboards,
bass, harmonica and mandolin.
Craig says that initially, the band
began playing parties and offered
numbers by acts such as Led
Zeppelin, The Doors and Bob
Dylan, who he says are also
among its biggest influences. He
adds that, as a drummer, he was
schooled on Grand Funk Rail-
road. Still, he stresses that writ-
ing was the main goal from the
get-go.
“We knew it was going to be
original, right off the bat,” he
says. “There wasn’t any work to
it. We’d start an original song
and, with just the four of us
standing in the room, nothing
had to be explained to anybody.
It just happened. We’d get done
with the song and go, ‘What the
hell was that? Write that down.
Get a name for that song.’”
The band has recorded 15
tracks at Double A Productions
in Elysburg. Songs include
“Mountain Girl,” “Face The
Wave,” “Learning To Let Go”
and “Whatever You Need.” They
are available at reverbnation.com.
Craig says Phil Smith and Ridall
are the group’s main lyricists and
that he thinks listeners will con-
nect with the music.
“They mainly write about life
experiences and growing up,” he
says. “They’re also really into the
beauty of the mountains. It’s
almost like a spiritual thing that
they do. They really have beauti-
ful words and melodies, the
stories are outstanding and the
songs are positive. It’s uplifting.
We hope people leave with a
good positive message and make
the world a better place.”
FARLEY ON
THE RADIO
Former Panacea vocalist Tim
Farley will perform Wednesday,

‘MENU LIVE’
WITH MIZ
Four years ago, I first wrote
about an artist named Mike Miz-
winski. I can recall being im-
pressed with not only his music,
but also his candidness. He’d
been through a lot in his young
life, but he had put it all behind
him and was moving forward
with his guitar and his pen. Over
the years, I’ve gotten to know
“Miz,” as he is often called, a
little better. We’ve done addition-
al stories about him, he’s per-
formed at the Weekender/Moun-
taingrown Original Music Series
on three occasions, he made two
appearances at Concert For A
Cause and he’s been a guest on
my Sunday night radio show,
“Music On The Menu Live,”
where we often play his songs.
It’s been nice to see his career
move forward.
On Sunday, Sept. 25, Miz will
be swinging by “Music On The
Menu Live” again for the whole
hour, where we’ll be discussing
and playing tracks from his forth-
coming CD, “East Hope Ave-
nue,” which will be released on
Oct. 1. There’s lots of buzz on
this record, and we’ll be the first
to play it.
Hope you can tune in. W

In the dozen years after Pave-
ment went on hiatus, singer/
songwriter Stephen Malkmus has
remained busy. After assembling
a newband (The Jicks), he has
released five albums, most re-
cently “Mirror Traffic.” Produced
by none other than Beck Hanson,
news of this albumcreated a lot of
buzz in the alternative-rock world,
and it became one of the most
anticipated albums of the genre to
be released so far this year.
As one would expect, “Mirror
Traffic” includes many tracks
(such as “Tigers,” “Brain Gallop”
or “Fall Away”) that have a loose,
open feel that make the listener
feel as though he or she could
simply float off into the clouds.
However, it also has a fewsongs
which are the complete opposite:
“Senator,” “Spazz,” and “Tune
Grief ” are raw, uptempo and full
of power. This variation may be a
bit much for some fans, but
across the entire album, it gives
“Mirror Traffic” a sense of bal-
ance.
While the musical style may
vary fromtrack to track, one
constant which does not change is
Malkmus’ rather unique lyrical
style. Taking on everything from
politics to cultural history to mass
consumerism, it seems that just
about everything is fair game.
However, at no point on “Mirror
Traffic” does Malkmus ever
sound like someone who is just
rambling or ranting pointlessly.
Instead, he sounds like a person
who just sees the world much
differently than everyone else and
is not afraid to tell us about it.
In looking at one of Malkmus’
albums, it becomes rather diffi-
cult not to drawcomparisons to
his former band. The fact that
“Mirror Traffic” was produced by
yet another legend fromthat
period probably makes that even
more difficult. However, while
much of “Mirror Traffic” has a
similar droning, dreamy, ambig-
uous feel as Pavement’s music
did, it also feels more deliberate
and designed as opposed to some-
thing that just happened to fall
together perfectly, which reflects
Malkmus’ growth as a songwriter
and artist.

Billboard Top Alternative Albums
The music of Australian rock outfit
Dangerous has a sound that will remind
listeners of many 1980s hair bands.
Despite its distinct glam-rock feel, the
young members of Dangerous formed in
2007, and the band is set to release its
debut, “Teenage Rampage,” Sept. 20 via
Epitaph.
The album was recorded by infamous
Ulrich Wild, who previously worked
with notable bands like Deftones, Break-
ing Benjamin and Pantera.
Even though Dangerous has an older
rock vibe, “Teenage Rampage” also has
a youthful feel to it. Each of the 12
tracks are energetic and fast paced, mak-
ing “Teenage Rampage” an appropriate
album title. The record embodies chaos
and grit and easily conjures images of
circle pits and raucous parties.
The mayhem ensues right off the bat
with the opening track, “Not One Of
You.” The lead singer’s voice has a
high-pitched quality that is both ear
piercing and electrifying. The high-
energy track is heavy at times and an-
themic. On “Chasing The Girls,” his
voice has a storytelling quality to it, yet
the song is catchy.
In addition to incorporating elements
of heavy metal/1980s rock, Dangerous
also sounds like a punk band at many
points on this release. This band has an
overall wildness about it, but it slows it
down slightly on “Poppies,” which is
definitely a standout.
The band is all over at times, but it
works. By combining a bunch of differ-
ent sounds, it has actually managed to
create one very unique-sounding album.

of the Japanese trio’s tribute to the New
York punk rockers.
“Blitzkrieg Bop” has the same tempo
and feel of the original and is a good
starting point for the album. “Rock ’n’
Roll High School” is fun, and the chug-
ging “We Want The Airwaves” is an easy
standout. “She’s The One” features Rit-
suko’s great bassline playing off Emi’s
fast-paced cymbals.
Clocking in at just about two minutes,
“Rockaway Beach” has enough time to
make you to want to “hitch a ride” to the
Queens neighborhood. Six songs in, sing-
er/guitarist Naoko hands over lead vocals
to Ritsuko for the garage-y “Sheena Is A
Punk Rocker.” “Psycho Therapy,” too, has
a garage-rock feel to it and is another
highlight, especially as Naoko declares,
“I’m a teenage schizoid/ The one your
parents despise.” Emi’s vocals give a
tender feel to “The KKK Took My Baby
Away” while “We’re A Happy Family” is
noisy, with clanging and talking as the
music fades out.
Naoko’s guitar shines on “Chinese
Rock,” which precedes the musical stand-
out, “Beat On The Brat,” which features a
fantastic melding of the trio’s drums,
guitar and bass. “Pinhead” is a great
closer to the 13-song tribute.
“Osaka Ramones” is perky and cap-
tures the punkiness that made the Ra-
mones who they were — and Shonen
Knife an underground favorite of in-
novators like Kurt Cobain. Joey, Johnny
and Dee Dee et al would be proud.

A MEAT COMA WORTH
WRITING ABOUT
I love discovering new places
to eat, and this past weekend was
no exception when my boyfriend
and I took a drive to Lake Wal-
lenpaupack. For dinner, we
found ourselves seated near a
window at Gresham’s Chop
House (2495 Route 6, Hawley)
that overlooked the lake (and the
gorgeous sunset over it, too).
As luck would have it, prime
rib was one of Saturday’s specials
and was available in two cuts,
king and the slightly smaller
queen. We ordered one of each,
and eagerly awaited their arrival
as we tucked into the bread bas-
ket that came with rosemary-
infused olive oil. We also
couldn’t pass up a cup of the
flavorful chicken dumpling soup,
which preceded our side salads.
Finally, the main event arrived
and looked amazing. Both cuts
were tender and cooked perfectly
to our liking (“rare as possible”
for him, medium rare for myself)
and had that crispy, salty, deli-
cious crust that always seems to
make prime rib even better. We
both chose a baked potato as our
side, and the evening’s vegetables
were carrots with a hint of maple
syrup.
As if a delicious meal (and the
view) wasn’t enough, the service
was top notch as well, making
Chop House a great destination
for anyone looking to take a nice
Sunday drive any day of the
week. W

The wine and cheese will flow at the third annual Wayne
County Wine and Cheese Festival.
Prime rib fit for a king (and queen) at Gresham’s Chop
House in Hawley.
F
all Out Boy lead singer
Patrick Stump has a
number of different feel-
ings about his debut solo album,
“Soul Punk.” You could count
“lucky” as one of them, as in,
lucky he isn’t in the limelight as
much as his bandmate Pete
Wentz.
“(Pete) was under the micro-
scope. I’m a tiny bit, but nothing
like he has to deal with,” Stump
said recently during a sit-down
with “The Ralphie Radio
Show.” “I think it’s a lot harder
for him to make the Black
Cards record because from the
get-go, not only are expectations
wildly out of control, but peo-
ple’s perspectives on his in-
tentions are wildly out of
whack.”
All four members of FOB
have moved on to other projects,
but Stump doesn’t believe that
his solo album or any other ac-
tivities signal the demise of the
Chicago pop-punk group.
“Fall Out Boy has a lot of fans.
They’re still really dedicated.
And (‘Soul Punk’) clearly isn’t
Fall Out Boy,” Stump said.
“That’s been the hardest thing:
Getting people comfortable with
the idea that I’m just doing this
thing on the side, and if this
thing takes off, then it’s still
considered something parallel to
Fall Out Boy.”
“Soul Punk,” which was fin-
ished about two months ago,
comes out Oct. 18. The first
single is actually a remix of a cut
from the disc: “This City” featur-
ing fellow Chicago native Lupe
Fiasco. The idea of a remix
came from Stump’s label, Island
Records.
“(Senior director of marketing)
Eric Wong is a friend of mine,
and he gave me his list, and he
was like, ‘Give me your list,’”
Stump recalled. “The top of both
of our lists was Lupe.”
Truth be told, Stump’s entire
list was essentially Fiasco, and
that’s it. The vocalist admires the
emcee, calling him a “superhe-
ro.”
“There are a lot of rappers,
who are really smart and really
intellectual, and Lupe fits that
bill, but he also knows his way
around a pop song,” Stump ex-
plained.
He cited Fiasco’s “The Show
Goes On” as a prime example of
this, as the singer said he had
never heard a pop song in heavy
radio rotation deliver some of the
points Lupe made in the track.
Still, while Stump would be
happy with big spins and sales
numbers, those are far from his
motivating factors for the album.
“When I was doing this record,
I was thinking about mortality,”
he revealed. “Someday I will
either be dead, or I will be some-
one’s grandpa, and it would be
nice to have something, ‘When I
was younger, I did this thing.’”
By then, who knows if that
generation will be able to recog-
nize the now 27 year old. Stump
is almost unrecognizable now, as
he lost a considerable amount of
weight since FOB’s last go-
around.
“I have a lot more energy,”
said Stump of how the loss af-
fected him on stage. “I fret to
call it dancing, because I don’t
think I’m all that great a dancer,
but I do, sort of get to dance.” W
Listen to “The Ralphie Radio
Show” weeknights from 7
p.m.-midnight on 97 BHT.
Ralphie interviews Patrick Stump, who’ll release his
solo debut in October.
“‘Soul Punk’ clearly
isn’t Fall Out Boy.”

movie review
“
Contagion,” Steven Soder-
bergh’s star-studded virus-
runs-amok drama, never
grabs you by the shoulders and
gives you a good, old-fashioned
fright. You can watch it with your
eyes wide open — unless you
find stellar ensemble work and
directorial polish bone chilling.
The origins of the viral horror
are benign. Executive Beth Em-
hoff (Gwyneth Paltrow), cough-
ing and pale, prepares to board
her flight home after a business
trip to Hong Kong. The same
conditions plague a fashion mod-
el in London, a Tokyo busi-
nessman, and, of course, a Hong
Kong waiter. Everyone looks like
they have the flu.
Emhoff returns home to Min-
neapolis, where a few days later
she collapses on the kitchen
floor, frothing at the mouth and
lapsing into seizures. The hospi-
tal’s doctor can’t explain her
death, but the coroner’s reaction
during the autopsy says it all:
“Call everyone.”
Soon, a no-nonsense investiga-
tor (Kate Winslet) from the Cen-
ters for Disease Control and
Prevention travels to Minnesota.
A World Health Organization
official (Marion Cotillard) heads
to a Hong Kong casino where
Emhoff spent some time. As the
ladies follow leads, attempts to
vaccinate the virus prove exceed-
ingly difficult. It’s a model of
biological perfection, fitting into
cells “like a key into a lock.”
In the ensuing weeks, things
fall apart. Homeland Security
becomes interested. A popular,
truth-telling blogger (Jude Law)
gets his priorities mixed up.
Beth’s widowed husband (Matt
Damon) becomes really over-
protective of his daughter. People
panic. Soderbergh (“Out of
Sight,” “Traffic”) handles the
material with his usual quiet
confidence. The proof is in the
cinematography: Winslet opens
her hotel window to see a cara-
van of military vehicles driving
down an empty street on a miser-
able gray morning. The belea-
guered CDC deputy director
(Laurence Fishburne) sits in a
cafeteria, surrounded by empty
chairs, overwhelmed by a prob-
lem he can’t solve.
Though Soderbergh refuses to
pander and remains a consum-
mate craftsman, “Contagion”
maintains a certain politeness.
Grave red lettering pops up to
remind us of the number of days
that have passed in this misery.
Everyone is clearly working
against the clock, but we never
feel that tension. The movie
proceeds as one long anticlimax.
Major plot developments get
treated with little fuss as Soder-
bergh and writer Scott Z. Burns
make their points about lead-
ership (the military calls the
shots; the president is nowhere to
be found), bureaucratic red tape
and the common good of people.
These messages are fine, but
they’re placed too high on the
priority list. The movie is about
an unstoppable virus killing
millions of helpless people.
Shouldn’t we feel a little bit
scared?
An argument could be made
that this kind of restraint is ap-
propriate for a movie released
two days before the 10th anni-
versary of Sept. 11. I don’t buy
that. “The Dark Knight” perfect-
ly captured the random terror that
comes when a psychopath gains
power over a major city. “V for
Vendetta,” released in the middle
of George W. Bush’s second
term, explored the horror of an
overprotective government. And
there was “The Road” and “Team
America: World Police” and
more.
One of the great artistic tri-
umphs post-Sept. 11 is that film-
makers have used that uncertain-
ty to create excellent movies that
help us come to terms with those
feelings. Soderbergh has offered
an entertaining, well-acted cop
out.

bitch & brag
By Jeff and Amanda of 98.5 KRZ
Special to the Weekender
W
elcome to the inaugural
edition of Bitch & Brag.
Each week, we hope to
bring you something positive you
can feel good about and, of
course, something that just plain
sucks. Most of the time, we want
to focus on local stuff, and since
there was nothing more impor-
tant to all of us than last week’s
flood, we felt it would be best to
begin with some bitchin’ and
some braggin’ about the flood of
2011.
Amanda’s Brags:
Many of us watched the flood-
ing and devastation with a feeling
of helplessness. Families and
businesses lost everything they
had and worked for in the matter
of hours, and I know I personally
watched on thinking, “What can
I possibly do to help this horrific
situation?”
KRZ and our entire Entercom
Communications family respon-
ded to that empty feeling by
putting together Entercom Cares,
a flood-relief drive that ran all
weekend long to support the
local chapters of the American
Red Cross. This week, I’m
choosing to brag about the resi-
dents of NEPA and the over-
whelming generosity you’ve
shown and produced in reaction
to the devastation our area suf-
fered this past week. You came
through in ways unimaginable
during our flood-relief drive.
Over this past weekend, more
than $17,000 in cash donations
and more than $200,000 in clean-
ing supplies was raised to sup-
port flood victims, and every-
thing you donated is staying
local. I’ve now witnessed the
“Valley with a Heart” in action.
The outpouring of love, quick
response to support and compas-
sion the people of NEPA showed
in reaction to the flooding is
brag-worthy and is really what
makes NEPA a kick-ass place to
call home.
Children donated their allow-
ances, families who were victims
themselves donated supplies and
money because they knew other
people had suffered worse, and
together as a community, we
filled four huge box trucks full of
supplies. Way to go NEPA!
Jeff’s Bitches:
So as thousands of people
living near the Susquehanna
River had to flee their homes last
week, Luzerne County ordered a
9 p.m. curfew to hopefully dis-
courage looting. Sadly, there
were a few punks who apparently
decided to go “pick up a few
items.” Sure, kick a person when
they’re down! These people are
running for their lives, so you
decide you’ll “take” their big-
screen TV! Gee, why don’t you
creeps go drop-kick a few elderly
people on Public Square and
grab their money, too! Because,
essentially, that’s what you’re
doing: attacking innocent people
when they’re at their most vul-
nerable. I spoke with one woman
whose house was almost vandal-
ized in broad daylight!
These derelicts were too dumb
to even wait for nightfall! I hope
when they’re sentenced, it’s not
for simple larceny. There should
be some extra-harsh punishment
for stealing from people who are
trying to save the lives of their
family. And you know, there is
going to be a massive cleanup
necessary in the weeks ahead.
Rather than let these losers pick
up trash on the highway, I say
let’s put them to work cleaning
those areas where raw sewage is
leaking into the river. Go ahead,
fellas — get those orange jump
suits nice and dirty! We found a
job that fits your worth! W
Hear Jeff and Amanda Bitch
& Brag Fridays at 3:30 p.m. on
98.5 KRZ.
Last week’s flooding brought out a lot of good — and an
equal amount of bad — in NEPA residents.

Matt Morgis
MountainTop
Community involvement: Luckily, working at
the papers has kept me super involved around
town. I’m always involved with the local music
scene helping advance shows and bands to the
next level. I volunteered at Junior Achievement
building to help kids “work” at a newspaper for
the day, and I’ve assisted with the planning of
numerous charity events.
Hobbies: I love watching college football and
my beloved Red Sox. You can also fnd me skiing
and attending concerts whenever possible.
Favorite quote: “You have enemies? Good.
That means you stood up for something, sometime
in your life.” Winston Churchill.
Claim to fame: Almost every Taylor Swift song
is about me, well, the ones where she sings about
falling in love at least.
Favorite thing about the area: The sense of
community it offers you. It seems like everyone
knows everyone, you never feel lost or out of place.
Favorite movie: Toss up between “Fever Pitch”
and “Anchorman.”
One thing most people don’t know about
me: I’m a huge technology nerd. I love getting to
use new gadgets, and I actually read tech blogs
like Mashable every night before I fall asleep.
One thing I’ve always wanted to do:
Participate in all sorts of extreme sports in New
Zealand. The four kids from “Rocket Power” did that
in one episode, and I’ve been jealous ever since.
If your best friend were to describe you, what
would he/she say? That a mix of determined,
outgoing, cheerful, hungry, creative, enthused,
positive and a little bit of crazy makes up Matt.

T
his past weekend saw
record-breaking flood
levels and so many people
who lost so much. My own
family was hit by the disaster in
Bloomsburg.
“Well, there will be a lot less
for this Christmas,” my sister,
Sue Berlin, commented.
I’m sure that sentiment is
shared by many people. Who
can even think of Christmas
when there is so much cleaning
up to do right now?
What I have seen in the past
few days is an overwhelming
outpouring of care and concern
for our neighbors. People opened
their homes to evacuees, volun-
teers helped to deliver supplies
and so many other wonderful
expressions of kindness in a time
of great despair and fear.
Following on the heels of this
will be the 4th Annual Bikes for
Tykes Poker Run sponsored by
the Wyoming Valley Motorcycle
Club (WVMC). For the past
three years, this run has bought
bicycles for underprivileged
children in the Wyoming Valley.
This year, I expect that there will
be many more youngsters who
won’t be expecting much under
their tree.
Last year, close to 50 bikes
were delivered to needy children
thanks to the approximately 170
riders. This year, we need a lot
more riders willing to give up a
morning for the Sunday, Sept. 18
ride, plus a donation of $15 per
rider and $10 per passenger.
This poker run is in memory
of WVMC member “Big Ge-
orge” Thompson, who was noted
for his heart of gold and always
helping kids. I’m sure that if he
were still here with us, he’d be
out there working with all of the
other scores of volunteers out
there now. And this poker run is
one event that guarantees that at
least some small number of
children will have a smile on
their faces on Christmas morn-
ing.
Registration for Sunday’s ride
is from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. The
ride begins at Dukey’s Cafe (785
N. Pennsylvania Ave., Wilkes-
Barre) and stops at Murphy’s
Pub (347 Slocum St., Swoyers-
ville), Joey’s Joint (59 Plymouth
Street, Edwardsville), Tommy
Boy’s Bar & Grill (10 Broadway
St., Nanticoke) before ending at
Good Fellos Food & Spirits
(1901 Route 315, Pittston). At the
end of the run, there will be a
cash bar, drink specials, hors
d’oeuvres, a 50/50 drawing and
live music from Better with
Beer.
Hopefully we’ve had enough
rain, and the day will be bright,
warm and great for riding. There
may be some adjustments to the
routes you are used to taking
because of flood damage. If
there are any changes of note,
they will be made at the regis-
tration point. I know that bikers
have the biggest and softest
hearts of all, so a little road
detour won’t keep you away!
The more bikes that show up for
the ride, the more bikes can be
delivered to the children of the
Wyoming Valley.
So please consider riding in
this poker run on Sunday.
Many people are looking for
ways to help out doing the clea-
nup from the recent flood and
evacuation. There are many
organizations working diligently
to help the residents of this area
that are looking for volunteers
and supplies, so you may not
know how to help. Please con-
sider contacting the Red Cross.
Its webpage lists Wayne Wolfe,
director of staffing and volunteer
services, as a contact. He can be
reached at 570.823.7161, ext. 324
or [email protected]. W

Christmas
Last year, close to 50 bikes were delivered to
underprivileged children in the Wyoming Valley thanks
to the approximately 170 riders who participated in the

Weekender General Manager
A
s soon as Labor Day
hits, there’s this instant
moment of depression
that summer is officially over. It
isn’t, really, but for most people,
this is the time when bathing
suits get packed away, school
supplies are already bought in
surplus and even the question
of covering patio furniture
and storing all the barbeque
supplies comes into play. For
non-sun lovers, it can be a time
to rejoice, but for many, a more
sluggish realization that playing
horseshoes in the backyard and
splashing around in the pool
can set in and a little gray cloud
appears over a once-happy
disposition.
Personally, I embrace the
changing of the weather.
Embracing
autumn
My summers are never what
I anticipate them being.
They never live up to my
expectations. I get less and less
time at the beach, visiting the
drive-in theater always seems to
be out of touch and basking in
the sun to get that summer glow
just doesn’t seem to fit in my
schedule.
But this does not mean I give
up. I just adapt.
Summer clothes have never
been my favorite collection of
attire. It’s often too hot to make
conscientious decisions on what
to wear, but rather opt for the
“at-least-this-will-be-cool” outfit
to prevent sweat marks and the
feeling of discomfort. Shorts are
hard to pull off when you have
short legs, and you cannot solve
A scarf of fowers that gracefully marries the
summer and autumn seasons.
A pashmina of pastel colors and fowers to wrap yourself in
on cooler days.

Tank tops and mini skirts and
short shorts — yes, give them
up for the new season. But get
creative and embrace a whole
new wardrobe where you can
play with cardigans, scarves and
blazers and still show off your
favorite bright colors. W
this look by
throwing on
a pair of heels
because suddenly
you now look like
a streetwalker. Pants
are out of the question
in most cases, and dresses,
well, as much as I love
dresses, you can’t sport one
every single day.
Nope, for me, autumn is the
season that gets my fashion
creative juices flowing. I can
layer. I can accessorize with
scarves. I can wear hats and
jackets, and cute boots
that match my handbag.
And even though many
consider autumn a time
of depression, because in
reality, it is the season in the
northeast in which everything
dies, I can keep myself looking
lighthearted by accessorizing
with floral pieces and soothing
colors, not just grays, browns
and blacks (even though I
wear all-black ensembles more
often than I should year round
anyway).

sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
Weekender Correspondent
O
ne thing I’ve learned
from being a college
student for nearly a dec-
ade is that attending class is a
lot like visiting Planned Parent-
hood. You have the choice. An-
other choice you have is decid-
ing how to handle the situation
of finding your roommate in the
act of sex on your air mattress.
Call me crazy, or call me a geni-
us, but when that happened to
me, I decided to report him to
the police.
It was the summer of 2008,
and I was about to discover that
if your first two matches from
Roommate.com weren’t bat-shit-
crazy Neanderthals, then the
third time was the charm.
My new apartment was leased
to Young, an aspiring Korean
actor self-referred to as “Young
Hollywood.” When his main
role became substance abuse, he
started bringing in roommates to
cover the rent money that he put
up his nose. Once his drug habit
got out of control, he stopped
paying rent in general. By this
point, his two-bedroom apart-
ment consisted of him, a mid-
dle-aged army vet, an illegal
immigrant, a UCLA athlete, a
teenage runaway and me.
Though my new roommates had
the potential to fill a season of
Dr. Drew’s “Celebrity Rehab,”
they were people to party with.
One night, my roommates
joined me and a few friends for
a night of barhopping. However,
the illegal immigrant decided to
stay back with the teenage run-
away who couldn’t get into the
bars. I thought catching a lobster
in a claw machine at a dive bar
was about to be the most event-
ful part of my evening. I was
mistaken.
I walked in my bedroom to
find the immigrant having sex
with the runaway — on my air
mattress!
“Get out of my bed!” I
screamed at the immigrant.
“No, you get out, or I’ll knock
you out!” he barked at me for
interrupting his dance to the
horizontal bop.
Young, stupid, and Lindsay
Lohan drunk, I thought the
solution to this predicament was
to press charges.
“My roommate is having sex
on my air mattress and won’t get
out,” I reported to the police
over the phone, ready to file a
report.
“Sir, is this a prank phone
call?” I was asked.
“I’m serious! I have an illegal
immigrant having sex on my air
mattress. Arrest and deport him
now!”
They didn’t believe me and
hung up. Afraid I was about to
get arrested for making the
phone call, I called a cab to
retract myself from the scene.
The next thing I knew, I woke
up in a McDonald’s with a head-
ache.
Sorry, Mom & Dad ... W
This is Justin’s 50th apology to his mom & dad.
Apology No. 50
motorhead
Ride of
the Week
“This is a great car, I’m proud to own it,”
says Hannon, who bought the Impala about
10 years ago and set about restoring it. “I
repainted it, kept it red like it was originally, but
made it a little brighter.
“It blows my mind that new, this car sold for
just $2,800. It’s worth much more than that now.
I’m the fourth owner. I love taking it out to car
shows and cruises.” W

VIRGO(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Unless you’re especially enlightened,
letting yourself trust others gets harder
every time your trust is broken. That, of
course, is hardly fair to the newpeople in
your life, since they have nothing to do with
those who deceived you. But fairness is
irrelevant. Your heart’s a muscle (both
literally and figuratively), and the only way
it can become strong and flexible enough to
fully recover froma beating is practice and
intention. You need to force yourself to
trust anyway, despite your trepidation. Yes,
you’ll probably get burned again, but that’s
better than rejecting someone who’s worthy
of your trust because you were too scared to
offer it.
LIBRA(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Paying tribute to someone’s past, for
helping shape theminto the person you
love, is a sweet thing to do, especially if the
experiences that built their character were
painful or difficult. However, no one wants
to dwell overmuch on their traumatic histo-
ry. I think almost anyone would appreciate
your acceptance and recognition, but also
be relieved when you return to the present
moment, so don’t linger. What you want to
convey is that the past matters —but not
nearly as much as the present moment. And
for that, a very brief visit will do.
SCORPIO(OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Life goes on. Things never really end
until you die, even if you think of themas
finished. What’s actually happened is that
they’ve changed. If you can learn to view
themas different (perhaps in dramatic,
fundamental ways) fromwhat they were,
rather than simply over, you may realize
that there’s stuff worth salvaging or recy-
cling fromthose past chapters which would
significantly add to the quality of your life
or overall happiness. That’s not to say every
closed chapter should be revisited —some
aren’t worth dusting off and resurrecting, at
this point. But the last couple, at least, you
should consider.
SAGITTARIUS(NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Bullies don’t just disappear once they
graduate fromhigh school. Some growup
and evolve, but others learn howto disguise
their bullying in ever more devious and
subtle ways. That doesn’t change what it is,
though. Sometimes, as when they’ve ac-
quired real authority (becoming a cop, for
example), you may have to bite your tongue
and take it, to some extent. However, that’s
not the case here. You must reject their
shitty power play by calling it what it is. It
may not be quite so simple, but just like in
elementary school, standing up to a bully is
the best way to negate their power (or at
least the first step).
CAPRICORN(DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
People want what they want, and you
can’t change that. You can get those who
care about you to pretend to want stuff they
don’t, in order to please you, or do stuff
they’re not crazy about. Be careful howfar
you push this, though. This is a slippery
slope into Resentmentville, and you really
don’t want to go there. Every relationship
has obligations. However, for the happiness
and longevity of yours, you should be ex-
tremely picky about when and howyou call
in this type of favor. Chill out and fly solo
when necessary, so that when you come
back to the nest, it’s not empty.
AQUARIUS(JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Everyone has flaws. Ideally you’d find
someone (or several someones) whose
flaws don’t bother you all that much, but it’s
pretty unlikely. Learning to live with and
actually love someone despite their short-
comings is part of howyou’ll get themto do
the same for you (because you, my dear, are
no exception!). This week, consider all the
sterling qualities possessed by those around
you, even if they’ve recently been eclipsed
by a fewglaring faults. I think, if you’re fair
and considerate about it, you’ll discover
that all the good stuff far outweighs the bad
—and living with the whole package may
be a better deal than you thought at first.
PISCES(FEB. 19-MARCH20)
It sucks when someone else makes a
mess and then leaves you to clean it up,
especially without asking if that’s OK
(probably because they knowit’s not).
Instead of harping on about the injustice of
it all, which will only piss you off more and
get you exactly nowhere, I suggest rolling
up your sleeves and fixing this disaster as
soon as humanly possible. Yes, it’ll suck,
but the sooner you can get it out of your
sight, the sooner you’ll be able to move on
to actually fun stuff and forget about all this
—something that’s simply impossible until
it’s gone.
ARIES(MARCH21-APRIL19)
When people make it needlessly difficult
for you to do a good deed, I can understand
your temptation to just say, “Forget it,” and
walk away. Since these knuckleheads (who
may, after all, only be doing their (lame)
jobs) aren’t the ones who’ll suffer without
your aid, I hope you push through your
frustration and jump through their stupid
hoops. Feel free, however, to let all involved
knowwhat a pain in the ass it is, and how
putting up barriers to altruismisn’t partic-
ularly smart. I doubt they’ll respond well to
you, so don’t expect it to change anything
now. However, they may just reconsider
howthey address future do-gooders who
come along —and then you’ll have done
two good deeds.
TAURUS(APRIL20-MAY20)
It’s nice to give someone a warning about
a mistake they’re making (or about to), but
don’t be too shocked if you discover they’re
fully aware of the situation, and making
their choices with eyes wide open. People
are occasionally self-destructive, addicted
to risk or willfully naïve, and in all of these
cases your intervention, while possibly
appreciated, isn’t likely to change their
behavior right now. Don’t take it personally.
Even though it’s hard for you to understand
their decisions, it’s also not your call. The
only thing you get to decide is whether or
not you’ll stick around; the rest is purely
their business.
GEMINI (MAY21-JUNE20)
Normally, when you have a problemwith
someone, I’d suggest going directly to them
first, even if it’s harder or more awkward.
However, when someone’s grip on rational-
ity and reason isn’t particularly secure, you
may have no choice but to go over their
head with your difficulties, so they can be
addressed without putting a target on your
back. Don’t take this cowardly back route
unless you’re quite certain it’s necessary,
though. However, if you have ample evi-
dence that any attempt at a logical dis-
cussion will only make things worse, than
do what you’ve got to do.
CANCER(JUNE21-JULY22)
I can understand howyou might envy
one of those people who’s able to keep
calm, cool and collected in the midst of
circumstances that would have you hyster-
ical, in tears or pulling your hair (or all
three). Having such powerful emotions can
be a pain in the ass. I don’t think finding
ways to suppress or ignore themis the
answer, though —remember, they’re a
source of strength, beauty and compassion
for you, even if they also screwup sit-
uations, embarrass you or simply make
things awkward. Every Crab must find his
or her own way to navigate life with these
massive feelings —without denying or
hiding them. This is a never-ending proc-
ess, but you should have ample opportunity
to make significant strides towards a more
balanced place this week.
LEO(JULY23-AUG. 22)
Sure, trusting your gut has totally screw-
ed you over or gotten you into trouble in the
past. Your instincts are just plain wrong, on
occasion. But try to remember howsecond-
guessing themhas gotten you into many
more scrapes and scuffles than trusting
themever could. Yes, your intuition will be
completely off-base on occasion. It hap-
pens. Throwing out such a powerful tool
because of a couple errors would be in-
credibly foolish, though, especially this
week. Trust your gut no matter what. And
as for the screw-ups? Simply write themoff
as par for the course. W
