Out in the Open by Alex Zidock
Eastern Sports &
Outdoor Show Opens
The Eastern Sports & Outdoor Show opens on Saturday at the
Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg. If you have any interest in any
facet of the outdoors you just have to be there sometime during the
nine day run. The show closes on Sunday, February 13.
The largest show of its kind in North America, the ESOS has
something for every member of the family. This is not just hunting,
fishing, boating, camping, RVs, ATVs, custom trucks and cars. No,
this is vacation planning, clothing, home decorating fixtures, stage
shows and so much more.
I know of families who go and the husband heads in one direc-
tion with some of the kids and the wife goes in another direction
with the others. They communicate with the same two-way radios
the husband uses at hunting camp. They get together for meals
and to discuss what they saw and where they are going next.
And speaking of meals, this year the show management, with
the help of some vendors, have put together special family meal
plans so you can purchase food as a group at a reduced price. As
example a family of four can get a ‘family bundle’ for just $20 at
most food areas on the show floor. At the second floor cafeteria
there are daily $7 specials.
There will be more big names in the outdoor world gathered in
Harrisburg for this 56th edition of the show than at any other time
during the year. Even Michael Waddell will be there. Through his
Outdoor Channel shows Bone Collectors, Realtree Roadtrips with
Michael Waddell, Hunt Masters, and Turkey Call, Waddell has be-
come one of the most popular and entertaining personalities in
hunting world.
Ralph & Vicki Cianciarulo and Lee & Tiffany Lakosky, the hus-
band and wife hunting teams that are very popular on the Outdoor
Channel, will be there. Chuck Adams is the world’s best known
and most widely published bowhunter; the Benoit brothers; Matt
Morrett, turkey calling champion; Eddie Salter recognized as one
of the countries leading authorities on turkey and deer hunting and
even Joella Bates, the first woman to take the Big 5 of Africa with
a bow and the first bowhunter to take the Big 5 in a single safari
will be there giving seminars.
There’s too much happening at the ESOS to tell you about it
here so just go to the website: www.easternsportshow.com to pur-
chase tickets and pick a day to go. It’s an easy ride from the
Poconos. Take the entire family because it truly is a family affair.

Clash For Cash 3.0 set for Saturday
Shermanʼs third battle of the
bands event features new acts,
same format
The event has been upgraded
and rebooted and the bands are
ready to power up their instrumental
skills as the Sherman Theater pres-
ents The Clash For Cash: Version
3.0 this weekend, Saturday, Febru-
ary 5 at 6 p.m.
Ten bands are scheduled to com-
pete in this ultimate battle of the
bands where the winner will walk
away with a $1,000 grand prize, their
own headlining show in the Sher-
man Independent Rock Series, as
well as future considerations to open
for a national touring act. Second
place takes home $300 while the
third place band will win $200. The
Sherman has also promised a $75
award to all of the bands who qualify
for the Clash and are eligible to par-
ticipate in the battle.
A battle of the bands puts a lot of
pressure on the performers, and this
event will be no exception. Each
band will have merely 3-4 songs (or
15 minutes onstage) in order to im-
press the judges enough to take
home the cold, hard cash. And
thereʼs no sound checking, no line
checks… these performers have to
be ready to pick up their gear and im-
press the judges from a cold start.
Like the previous three Clash For
Cash events, this show will feature
bands in various genres. Performers
scheduled to compete include rock
bands Forbidden Dreams and From

Gresham’s through the big open bar or from

Chophouse
Route 6, Hawley
by Ruth Isenberg
We took a mini-vacation this
weekend. Our trip to dinner at
Greshamʼs Chophouse at the
top of Lake Wallenpaupack,
while still in the Poconos, made
us feel as though weʼd gone
somewhere different—Vermont,
or New Hampshire, perhaps?
The snow was falling steadily,
though lightly, as we could see
clearly from our seat by the win-
dow overlooking the lake. Fami-
lies, couples and groups of
friends filled the tables. Many
looked as though they had come
straight from some outdoor ac-
tivity.
Greshamʼs is built into a hill-
side overlooking the lake. Park-
ing is in the back, and you enter
on the second floor, either
the deck on the side.
The room has an open, com-
fortable feel. If weʼd been a bit
earlier, we could have enjoyed
watching activity on the lake as
we sipped our drinks, a glass of
Dining Out
Cabernet Sauvignon for me, $6,
and a hot tea for Seth, $1.25.
We were really hungry, so we
started with an appetizer, Co-
conut Shrimp, $8.95, as we con-
sidered our menu choices, which
included a number of specials
along with four pages of menu
items. Seven large shrimp ar-
rived, crispy with sweet coconut
crunch. The remoulade dipping
sauce had a subtle kick to it, a
jalapeno flavor to complement
the meaty shrimp. We liked the
sauce so much we finished it up
by dipping the crunchy sesame
breadsticks from the breadbas-
ket into it. The Italian bread, on
the other hand, we dipped into a
mixture of olive oil, Parmesan
cheese and spices.
Next came mixed green sal-
ads, with dressing on the side.
My choice was creamy blue
cheese, with good-sized chunks
of cheese. Seth chose the garlic
vinaigrette.
As we ate, we watched what
was happening across the road
on Lake Wallenpaupack. It
seemed to be a popular place for
snowmobilers. We watched
headlights glide across the
frozen surface, three or four
groups during the course of din-
ner. One group had ridden their
snowmobiles over to dine. (In
the summer, folks dock their
boats at the same place, and
MCEEC sponsors Solstice Storytelling
During the old days, winter
with its long cold nights was the
season for gathering around a
large warm fire and listening to
the story teller spin yarns that
entertained as they explained
come across the road to eat.)
Seth chose one of the
eveningʼs specials, Seafood Fra
Diavolo, $20.95. This was a mix-
ture of clams, bay scallops and
shrimp in a spicy red sauce,
served over fettuccine. A good-
sized serving was attractively
presented. There were lots of lit-
tle scallops, plenty of clams, and
medium-sized shrimp. It was
kind of a sneaky sauce, he said,
in that the heat built very slowly,
but he was plenty warm inside
by the end of his meal.
My selection came from the
main menu, a Tuna Steak,
grilled, with a lemon-herb mari-
nade, $18.95. I chose pasta as
my side dish. The lemon flavor
could have been a bit more pro-
nounced, I thought, but the fish
was cooked rare as ordered,
and had a nice smoky flavor. I
especially liked the dark red
be provided. Cost is $8/non-
members, $5/EE Center mem-

sauce on the penne pasta, and
will seriously consider one of the
pasta dishes on our next visit.
Portions were large, and we
had no room for dessert. I en-
joyed a cup of good coffee,
$1.25, and we watched the
snowmobiles return the way
theyʼd come, their red lights re-
treating across the icy lake.
Greshamʼs Chophouse is
open Tuesday through Sunday
at 4 p.m., and is closed Mon-
days. Thereʼs entertainment on
Saturdays from 9 to 1, and
acoustic music from 6-9 on Fri-
days. Though itʼs a drive to get
there, itʼs a pretty drive, enjoy-
able in itself, with a satisfying
meal at the end.

Pocono Mountain Regional
Police Department was called
to a Fox Lane, Harvest Acres,
Pocono Summit, Tobyhanna
Twp. home (near PMRPD HQ)
where a window had been shat-
tered by a shotgun blast at 5:25
a.m. on 1-27. Officers began to
track the suspect by using a
PMRPD K-9. The dog led police
to a PPL substation, where
someone had fired a shotgun
blast and barely missed critical
components.
Tracking then led police to a
home in Camp Minsi where a
20 y.o. man was identified as
the shooter. He was arrested for
a probation violation and taken
to the Monroe County jail. It
was learned during the investi-
gation that he was having sex-
ual relations with a 14 y.o.
Swiftwater girl. He faces
charges of shooting into an oc-
cupied structure, risking a ca-
tastrophe (at the PPL
substation), carrying a gun
without a license, corruption of
minors, statutory rape, and
more.
PMRPD arrested two wanted
persons last week, including a
21 y.o. Cresco man who was a
deserter from the U.S. Army out
of Fort Drum (1 p.m. 1-26 dur-
ing a traffic stop on Route 115
in Tunkhannock Twp.), and a 27
y.o. Coolbaugh Twp. woman
wanted in Elizabeth, NJ (1:50
a.m. 1-28 after a traffic stop on
Route 196 due to a headlight
being out).
During a vehicle stop at
12:37 a.m. on 1-30 on Route
196, a passenger in the car
gave a false name. Police ran

maple syrup from the Native

sweet maple syrup. Youʼll com-
plete the tour at our pancake
station where the finished
product is served over freshly
made pancakes.
Cost is $5/adults, $3/children
