cream,
that
glorious
summery treat
some of us could
(and probably do)
eat year round.
When we were
trying to decide
what local ice
cream shops to
highlight for this
weeks cover story,

the source: Our
readers. Sure, we know where
we like to go, but we wanted to
hear it from you.
While we couldnt
cover every single place our
readers suggested, the places
you can read about on pages 28
and 30-31 kept coming up over
and over. Some are just a few

in business for decades, but all
have pretty much one thing in
common: To offer its patrons
the best-tasting ice cream in
the land. After visiting some
of these establishments myself
and hearing and reading about
the ones staff writer Stephanie
DeBalko went to, Id have to say
they all deserve that title.
While Im sure I could

rops of water produced
from the sweating con-
densation of beer con-
tainers, caps from various
brands of beer bottles and
if the bartender provides good
service or masters the craft of
flirting a few dollar bills
will all be left on the bar
counter as evidence of an ex-
change between bartender and
consumer.
The watery ring left by the
bottle will eventually dry, the
dollar bills would be collected
as a tip, and the bottle caps
will be disposed and dismissed
as useless waste.
No one feels guilty for their
lack of recycling bottle caps.
You never see campaigns tell-
ing you that saving bottle caps
will help make the world
greener. Although accumu-
lating bottle caps probably
wont prevent global warming,
its being made evident that the
collection of bottle caps can be
utilized in a unique way.
Kristina Klokus, a waitress at
the River Grille in Plains Twp.,
is using bottle caps to enhance
the look of the restaurant. Shes
been working at the River
Grille for three years and has
always been something of an
interior designer for the restau-
rant.
Shes been decorating this
place, especially for holidays,
said Mark West, the owner of
River Grille.
Although, in this case, she
isnt inspired by any particular
holiday, she is making a pro-
ject out of the back wall of the
restaurant with a mosaic-style
mural that she has been work-
ing on since April.
I just felt the restaurant was
always looking the same, Klo-
kus said. I enjoy making the
atmosphere exciting.
West wanted to give the back
wall a makeover, and Klokus
volunteered to provide it.
I was thinking of something
unique and inexpensive, she
said. Klokus pitched her bottle-
cap idea to West, and he co-
signed the project.
Mark said go for it, he
bought the supplies, and away I
went, she said.
She works on the project
when she has free time, but
due to the time-consuming
process of gluing small bottle
caps together and her heavy
work schedule, the progress has
been moving at a slow pace.
The regular customers are
constantly busting my chops to
get a move on, Klokus said.
People want to see the pro-
gress the wall is making.
So far, the image is a Coro-
na-cap yellow sun surrounded
by a gold border made up of
Miller Light bottle caps. The
sky that the sun intertwines
with is an assembly of a
healthy mix of grey and blue
Coors bottle caps.
I never thought I would be
able to save so many caps,
Klokus said. With the help of
neighboring restaurants, she
managed to collect and orga-
nize thousands of caps, and
said that she, now, has more
than enough to create whatever
additions she plans to make to
the mural.
As far as the image goes,
symbolization was an important
factor towards the decision of
creating a sun. Klokus wanted
to create a representation of the
restaurants character and, ac-
cording to West, the sun is a
main attraction at the River
Grille.
We have the best sunset
here every night, West said.
Even in the winter.
He said that some customers
come into the restaurant just to
see the sun submerge behind
the trees that frame the Sus-
quehanna River; therefore, West
said the mural would be a
complementing addition to that
feature.
Although the mural is still a
work in progress, the progress
alone is catching the attention
of customers. Klokus said pa-
trons respond to how laborious
they imagine the process being.
They really appreciate
something so time-consuming
instead of just shapes on the
wall.
Her recognition of the artistic
value of the bottle caps, and
her ability to create her desired
hues with the limited brands
shes provided, has created what
she deems to be her Mona
Lisa. The customers admire
the work effort, and Klokus is
satisfied with the feedback.
Im really proud of how
much attention I get from it.

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
42+ REASONS
TO LOVE FATHERS DAY
Top Gun: Todd Whitehurst
may be the father of from 42 to
60 children, based on statistical
probability that recognizes his
virtuosity as a sperm donor,
according to a June New York
Post profile (though one website,
Donor Sibling Registry, claims to
have documented 129 children
sired by an unnamed seed de-
mon, who is one of 92 highly
productive men with 10 or more).
Whitehurst, who like the others,
was selected based on his
sperms profile and speed, donat-
ed weekly for about three years
in the late 1980s (for $50 a ses-
sion), and has been contacted so
far by nine teenagers who sent
him their photos after piecing
together evidence identifying him
(despite sperm banks promises
of confidentiality). Whitehurst,
acknowledging the resemblances
to his offspring, seems to find
the relationships fulfilling, how-
ever limited they are. Said he, I
love Fathers Day.
BIG SNAKES
COMPANY TOWN
Chinas sleepy Zisiqiao Village
in Zhejiang province is actually
headquarters for the countrys
revered snake industry, with 160
families raising about 3 million
serpents a year, mostly to harvest
livers and gall bladders for soup,
wine and other products con-
sumed for their immunity-build-
ing properties. In a June Reuters
dispatch, one farmer described
the 25-year evolution of Snake
Town from a place where farm-
ers simply threw males and fe-
males together for breeding to
todays sophisticated production
facilities that supply proper snake
diets, research measures to enrich
female fertility and provide en-
hanced incubation conditions.
THE CONTINUING CRISIS
-- Perhaps a kindergartner
needs to have his dad wait with
him and wave bye-bye as he steps
onto the school bus in the morn-
ing, but Rain Price is a 10th
grader (in American Fork, Utah),
and his dad, Dale Price, never-
theless waves from the bus stop
every morning, right in front of
Rains friends. Furthermore,
according to a June report by
KSL-TV in Salt Lake City, Dale
makes it a point to be wearing a
different, crazy costume every
morning (170 in all for the school
year, including, once, a wedding
dress).
-- Alleged gang members
Barbara Lee, 45, and Marco
Ibanez, 19, were arrested in Hal-
landale Beach, Fla., in April and
charged in the assault and stab-
bing of four deaf people. Lee was
at the Oceans Eleven Lounge
one evening when she saw sever-
al people in a group make hand
signs that she interpreted as
disrespecting her own gangs
signs, and, according to police,
left to recruit Ibanez to come
administer retribution. Unknown
to Lee or Ibanez, the group were
deaf people using sign language
and had no idea they were mak-
ing gang signs.
OOPS!
-- Rescues: (1) A 93-year-old
woman was rescued by medics in
Philadelphia in April after spend-
ing several days stuck in her own
toilet. (According to KYW-TV,
she had to be carried out with a
portion of the toilet still stuck
tightly to her body.) (2) In Toot-
ing, England, in May, an un-
named senior was rescued by
firefighters after he got his testi-
cles caught in a shower seat in
which he was sitting while bath-
ing.
FETISHES ON PARADE
Toshihiko Mizuno, 55, was
arrested in Tokyo in June after
three girls, ages 9 and 10, report-
ed that he had talked them into
spitting for him so that he could
record it on video, to assist with
research he was doing on sali-
va. Police later discovered 26
videotapes, featuring about 400
young girls spitting. According
to local media sources, Mizuno
has had the obsession for 17
years, successfully getting at
least 500 girls to spit, among the
estimated 4,000 he proposi-
tioned.
LEAST COMPETENT
CRIMINALS
Not Ready for Prime Time: (1)
Eric Cogan, 33, was arrested in
Port St. Lucie, Fla., in June after
(according to police) presenting a
holdup note to a teller at a TD
Bank. To get to the teller, Cogan
walked right by a sheriffs cruiser
parked in front of the bank and a
deputy in uniform seated inside
the banks entrance. (2) In April,
Matthew Hudleston, 33, pleaded
guilty in Mobile, Ala., to robbing
a Regions Bank, using a holdup
note that mentioned a gun. He
got away but was arrested after
he returned a few minutes later to
ask for the holdup note back.
UNDIGNIFIED DEATHS
The Good Lord Willing: (1)
Self-described anarchist Luciano
Pitronello Schuffeneger was
hospitalized and placed in a
medically induced coma after a
bomb he was planning for a
Banco Santander bank in Santia-
go, Chile, exploded prematurely.
He suffered third-degree burns
and lost both hands and his eye-
sight, after accidentally tripping
the bombs trigger before enter-
ing the bank. (2) Mr. Isabel Gu-
tierrez, 53, died of a heart attack
in Refugio County, Texas, in
June, after taking a break during
the act of raping a 77-year-old
woman. He told his victim that
he didnt feel well, moved away
from her and stopped breathing.

the hospital determined that they had been
mistakenly buried with Mr. Manis.

DISCOVERING
SHABU-SHABU AT BAMBU
At Bambu (639 Northern
Boulevard, South Abington
Twp.), something fresh and new
awaits diners ready for a change.
That change is shabu-shabu,
which is Japanese fondue using a
hot pot of clear broth boiled on a
table-top glass range. In said pot
goes whatever youre hungry for
from noodles and an array of
vegetables to meat, seafood or
tofu all cooked by you.
Its fun, its D-I-Y, said Mi-
chelle Lam, who owns Bambu
with her husband, Vinny. The
Lams also own Blu Wasabi in
Dickson City and Kyoto in
Clarks Summit. (Shabu-shabu)
is very popular in big cities.
Bambu was originally a noodle
house, but switched its focus to
shabu-shabu six months ago.
We really wanted to bring
something contemporary and
modern to the area, Michelle
said.
Dish sampled seafood shabu-
shabu, which included tilapia,
scallops, clams, shrimp and
squid. We also added spinach,
tofu, cabbage, broccoli and long-
stemmed enoki mushrooms to
the hot pot, which meshed per-
fectly with the fresh seafood. I
definitely liked the concept of
cooking my own meal (without
the clean up that always follows
at home, of course) and watching
the items go from raw to ready.
To retrieve the food from the
boiling broth, I used a filtered
spoon and finished the bite with
sesame or ponzu sauce, which
were both delicious.
I had so much fun watching
the hot pot cook every-
thing right before
our eyes; the
interactive
process really
makes you
slow down
your dining
process to
fully enjoy
the company of your companions
and, most importantly, the quality
of the fresh ingredients.
I also sampled some of Bam-
bus tapas. My personal favorite
was the sauted sea bass, which
had an amazing flavor and was
served atop a bed of watercress
and kicky-but-cool mango salsa.
The rock shrimp with wasabi
creamy sauce was incredible, as
was the seared sirloin with soy
ponzu sauce. The lightly fried
portabella and asparagus fries,
too, were delectable.
The only downside about
Bambu was that I had no room
for the chocolate fondue, which
came with two options. The first
included strawberries, Asian
pears, bananas, pineapple and
apples while the second featured
almonds, walnuts, potato chips,
pound cake and marshmallows.
Bambu truly offers a new way
to dine that any food lover should
check out, repeatedly, as I plan
to.
The restaurant, which is BYOB
with no corkage fee, is open
Tuesday-Sunday from 4:30-10
p.m. For more info, call
570.585.8068.

WHAT DOES A
LEPPARD EAT?
Christian Pilosi, owner of
Eden, a Vegan Cafe (344
Adams Ave., Scranton) told Dish
that Def Leppard drummer Rick
Allen and his wife ate at the
restaurant Tuesday, June 28, the
day before the bands show at
Toyota Pavilion at Montage
Mountain.
Allen had a chili cheeseburger
while his wife ate a cheeseburger
with mushrooms. W
Shabu-shabu, Japanese fondue, uses clear broth to
cook ingredients in a table-top hot pot.
Bambu also offers tapas, like this sauteed
sea bass with watercress and mango salsa.

shabu-shabu.

What has my favorite
Friend, Lisa Kudrow, been
up to lately?
-- Tina D., Seattle
Since Friends ended in
2004, Lisa -- who turns 48
on July 30 -- has starred
in Happy Endings, P.S. I
Love You, Bandslam and
Easy A. She currently stars
in Web Therapy, which
initially was a Web-exclusive
series where Lisa portrays a
psychiatrist who dispenses
not-so-great advice to an
array of eclectic clients.
The show was picked up by
Showtime, and it premieres
Tuesday, July 19, at 11
p.m. Web Therapy co-
stars Victor Garber and
Lily Tomlin, and guest
stars include Courteney
Cox, Meryl Streep, Alan

Summer sampler
The Weekender visits
some of NEPAs favorite
ice cream shops
By Nikki M. Mascali & Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Editor & Staff Writer
In
1984, President Ronald Rea-
gan declared July National
Ice Cream Month and the
third Sunday of the month
National Ice Cream Day. In honor of such
fantastic declarations, the Weekender
dedicates this weeks cover story to local
ice cream.
And we know, NEPA, we know.
Believe us, we wish we could cover
every single ice cream place that calls
NEPA home because we love the treat
just as much as you do, but theres only
so much room in the paper (and only so
many holes in our belts) if we tried them
all.
Hopefully weve got your favorite place
covered here, but if not, maybe a new
one is waiting right around the corner for
you happy licking! See Ice Cream p.30

emember the good old days
when you could get an ice
cream cone delivered to
your car by a girl on roller
skates for a nickel? Neither do we, but
if ever there a place where the feeling
of reminiscence could overtake you, its
Scoopers Ice Cream & Yogurt Shop in
Sugarloaf.
Based in the same complex as
Stewarts Root Beer Drive-In which
was founded in 1967 and Cookies
Cafe, Scoopers is known for its classic
root beer oats and handmade ice cream
cakes.
One of the most exciting things about
that location is its very nostalgic, said
owner Mark Maylath, who originally
purchased the establishment so he could
continue selling his farm-fresh produce in
one of its lots. And the joy of the people
coming when we rst open in the season,
and the excitement in the air, you cant
measure it.
F
or Paul Manning there was but
one path in life: To run Manning
Farm Dairy in Dalton, which
has been in his family since
1920 and has ve stores in Lackawanna
County. Run by the third-generation
farmer, his wife, Jean, and sons Brian,
Ken and Kevin, the dairy provides
dozens of avors from its most-popular
vanilla to Barnyard Gravy, with a fudge
swirl and peanut butter-lled pretzels,
which are all made from a homemade
mix.
Thats what kind of differentiates us
from other people who say they make
homemade ice cream, Manning said.
They may make it in their own freezer,
but theyre buying a commercial mix
from somebody else.
The dairy also provides milk, ice-
cream pies, and in the future, homemade
yogurt, made from Mannings 85 cows,
who eat corn and soybeans grown on
the 400-plus bucolic acres that surround
them.
T
heres a secret behind the
rich and creamy consistency
of Back Mountain Creamery
in Trucksvilles ice cream:
The freezing process. Youd think that
freezing would mean, well, frozen, but in
the Creamerys three-step process, its all
about preserving the integrity of avor.
We get it cold as quickly as possible,
owner Carl Peterlin said. That keeps
the water molecules from getting back
together to form ice. It also intensies the
avor.
From vanilla and chocolate to mango
and bubblegum, which tastes so true you
want to blow bubbles with it, every avor
is made on site, ve gallons at a time. So
how does the Creamery get their avors
so dead-on perfect?
Thats the magic, Peterlin replied.
In addition to its roster of yummy
avors, the Creamery offers dozens of
mix-ins, which range from brownies and
candy to its latest obsession: Cupcakes.
Available in red velvet (the most
popular), banana and carrot cake, these
are mixed in on a zero-degree granite
slab to ensure maximum chill. Its up to
you to enhance the avor in a fresh-made
wafe bowl

t doesnt matter what time of day it
is, once the service windows open
for the day at Curly Creme in Plains
Twp., theres always a line of eager
customers. And for 11-year employee
Nicole Patterson, theres a specic reason
for that line outside the 26-year-old
establishment.
Its because its the best ice cream in
the area, she said.
Known for its featured soft-serve
avors which will include lemon,
mint, peanut butter and coffee in the
coming weeks Curly Creme also
offers shakes, sundaes, ice-cream
sandwiches and anything and everything
in between.
Options like that are what keep
customers like Stephanie Walters of
Plymouth coming back.
I like the different avors, theres
always different options and the prices
are low, she said. Im here two to three
times a week for my ofce.
T
he term sustainability has
been buzzing around for a
while, and though it doesnt
ordinarily conjure up images of
handmade, uniquely delicious ice cream
avors, it does when its combined with
The Lands at Hillside Farms.
The dairy store on the farm is a haven
for ice cream connoisseurs, as it is all
produced from cow to carton
onsite, and the masterminds behind the
production process are often willing to
experiment with new avors, since they
work in relatively small batches.
The funkiest avor Ive seen us make
was coconut with pink peppercorn,
said Chet Mozloom, executive director,
explaining that the dairy often works
with restaurants to create exclusive
avors.
The other selling point for The Lands
at Hillside Farms is the 46 grass-fed
cows that are currently producing milk.
Every farmer can lovingly point out each
cow by name, and though the process of
taking the girls, as theyre called, out to
pasture every day causes them to produce
less milk, everyone at the dairy agrees
that its a fair trade when you take into
account the fact that its more natural for
the cows and the environment. Or more
sustainable, if you will. W
I
f youre planning on hosting a
party this summer or during
any season, for that matter The
Snack Shack in Wilkes-Barre is
ready to bring the sweet life right to
your doorstep. Candice Farrell, whose
childhood fascination was to own an ice
cream stand and who has owned the shop
for the past six years, is ready to bring a
build-your-own-sundae bar, with 15 to 21
toppings, to any party, whether its for 20
people or 1,000.
And the revelry doesnt stop there,
because the shop is also offering a party
room for those who would rather enjoy
its Leibys ice cream and fat-free, sugar-
free varieties onsite.
Ice cream makes people happy,
Farrell said. When we deliver ice cream,
or when we hand out a cone or a sundae,
people are smiling, and I like that.

PITTSBURGH Two
special exhibits on view until
August make it clear that the
Andy Warhol Museum isnt
resting on its namesakes
legacy.
Both Mixed Signals: Art-
ists Consider Masculinity in
Sports and Contemporary
Magic: A Tarot Deck Art
Project fit the spirit of the
Warhol, a seven-story struc-
ture that also exhibits gener-
ous selections of Warhols
art from throughout his ca-
reer. (The artist was born in
a Pittsburgh row house and
graduated from Carnegie
Institute of Technology, now
Carnegie-Mellon University,
before heading to fame and
fortune in New York.)
Situated on Pittsburghs
North Shore, just over the
Andy Warhol Bridge from
downtown, the Warhol Mu-
seum is a short walk from
Heinz Field, where the Pitts-
burgh Steelers play, and PNC
Park, home of the Pittsburgh
Pirates. Heres hoping fans
of the teams will take time
to catch Mixed Signals.
Curated by Christopher
Bedford, this traveling exhib-
it with work from 17 artists
strives, in the sports analysts
vernacular, to break down
stereotypes and assumptions
about the masculine athlete.
Hank Willis Thomas con-
ceptual pieces all but accost
the viewer, particularly
Scarred Chest (2003). The
Nike swoosh is scarred on
the brown chest of a male
athlete nine times. This im-
age will click instantly with
anyone who thinks the shoe
company has too much pow-
er in the sports world.
In Thomas Something to
Stand on: The Third Leg
(2007), the red cutout figure
of a basketball player soar-
ing to jam the ball has a
third leg, tied shoe and all,
pointing toward the ground
from his pelvic area. Med-
itate for a moment on what
this might say about mascu-
linity in sports.
In Kori Newkirks Closely
Guarded (2000), the nets of
two basketball hoops, appar-
ently at regulation height,
have been extended all the
way down to the floor with
artificial hair and plastic
pony beads. It made me
think, appropriately or not,
of how many players now
have corn rows, hair exten-
sions or braids.
Catherine Opies photo-
graphs of high school foot-
ball players, such as Josh
(2007), show young males
just learning how to confront
or accept the cameras, and
the gazes, that will follow
them through their sports
careers.
This iteration of the trav-
eling exhibit is an expanded
version of an exhibit orga-
nized by the Los Angeles
County Museum of Art. It
includes three photographs
by Michael Halsband featur-
ing Warhol and his friend
and occasional collaborator
Jean-Michel Basquiat as box-
ers, replete with Everlast box-
ing gloves and trunks. These
two guys make improbable
pugilists. Yet both face the
camera with deadpan serious-
ness, and in one image War-
hol is improbably landing a
shot to Basquiats face.
The Rider-Waite tarot deck,
the set of tarot cards most
familiar to Americans, gains
its visual power from the con-
sistency of illustrator Pamela
Colman Smiths design, in-
cluding the emblems of the
four suits: wands, cups,
swords and pentacles.
For Contemporary Magic,
Stacy Engman, curator of
New Yorks National Arts
Club, blew that up. She com-
missioned 78 artists and fash-
ion designers to each design
one of the cards in a Tarot
deck, without any requirement
to reference each other.
Shoe designer Christian
Louboutin gives us a slinky
model on the Nine of Cups
surrounded by sky-high heels
as well as cups. Yoshitomo
Naras drawn Four of Swords
presents a wide-eyed tyke
brandishing one of the swords
as if he or she knows how to
use it.
In addition to cognates of
the cards in a standard poker
deck, a tarot deck also in-
cludes the symbol-heavy 22
cards in the Major Arcana,
such as The Fool, The Moon,
Death and Temperance. Fit-
tingly, Warhol himself turns
up as the spooky Hanged Man
card. In the Rider-Waite deck,
The Hanged Man is a blond
male hanging upside down by
one foot from a T-shaped tree.
In Engmans exhibit and deck,
The Hanged Man is a 1985
Patrick McMullan photo of the
pale-haired Warhol, standing
next to his Invisible Sculp-
ture turned upside down.
The cards themes are arche-
typal of Warhols approach to
unexpected and unique revela-
tions, curator Engman told
the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in
an interview.
The Warhol Museum store
is selling large-format tarot
decks made from the artworks
for $45. W

ow seriously are we
supposed to take Madon-
na as a film director?
Possibly, very seriously in-

ically titled W.E., has been
scheduled for release Dec. 9 by
The Weinstein Company, plac-
ing it squarely in the middle of
Oscar-contender season.
Brothers Bob and Harvey
Weinstein have a long history,
and a good track record, of
pushing Oscar-winning or Os-
car-nominated films in Decem-
ber. To name a few: Shak-
espeare in Love (which won
seven Academy Awards), The
Reader (Kate Winslet, Best
Actress), A Single Man (Best
Actor nominee Colin Firth),
The Fighter (Supporting Ac-
tor awards for Christian Bale
and Melissa Leo) and, of
course, The Kings Speech
(four Oscars, including Best
Picture). The Weinsteins are
often credited with inventing the
Oscar campaign as we now
know it.
Whats more, Madonnas film
doesnt appear to be a vanity
project, like her abysmally re-
viewed 2008 directorial debut,
Filth and Wisdom, which
starred her friend Eugene Hutz
of the band Gogol Bordello.
Rather, W.E. appears to be a
serious historical drama. It
spans 60 years, contrasting a
contemporary love story with
the scandalous relationship
between King Edward VIII and
American divorcee Wallis Simp-
son (that relationship also fig-
ured into The Kings Speech).
Madonnas fairly impressive cast
includes Abbie Cornish, Lau-
rence Fox (Gosford Park) and
Oscar Isaac (Robin Hood).
Im incredibly excited about
this movie, and I wanted to give
it a prominent release date,
Harvey Weinstein, co-chairman
of TWC, said in a statement.
Hes so excited he apparently
forgot about Filth and Wis-
dom, calling Madonnas new
movie a stunning feature direc-
torial debut. W

Luby
Scranton
J
eannine Luby has a lot of titles:
Comedian, author, fundraiser and
local community asset as she has
worked with the Scranton Area
Foundation in 2005 to develop
the non-prot Humor Therapy Fund.
Luby has been organizing fundraisers
for the past six years to raise its funds to
$5,000.
Within about a year, nonprots in
the greater Scranton area will be able
to apply for grants from this fund,
Luby shared. The criteria are (that) the
requesting organization be nonprot and
their requested grant money be used to
spread the healing power of humor and
laughter to help their clients and/or the
community.
Developing an event on May 1 to
celebrate World Laughter Day, Luby
invited members of the community to
enjoy a day of free activities including
laughter yoga, magic, storytelling, arts
and crafts and more.
Occupation: Owner of Laugh to
Live, LLC, a business I started in
2006 to promote the healing power of
laughter and humor to help people live
healthier, happier lives. I lead energetic
and uplifting presentations that feature
interactive laughter yoga exercises,
(these are gentle exercises that involve
laughing for the health of it); I also
perform standup and improv comedy and
write.
I published my rst humor book
Hes Not Prince Charming When
in 2010. The book has inspired my rst
comedy tour Keep Wine-ing, He Might
Start to Look Like Prince Charming that
will take place at wineries in NEPA, the
Poconos, New Jersey and beyond.
Community involvement: I have
consistently donated Laugh to Lives
services to a variety of organizations in
the past six years including the Boys and
Girls Club of Scranton, seniors at the ...
Who is...
Owner,
Laugh to Live, LLC
Jewish Community Center in Wilkes-
Barre, Lincoln Jackson Elementary
School and many other groups.
Hobbies: Running, enjoying the best
of my hometown of Scranton (including
attending my favorite event, Scrantons
First Friday Art Walk), visiting New
York City, watching mindless Bravo TV;
dining/drinking coffee outside every
chance I get, people watching.
Craziest thing youve ever
done: Hmmm, I dont really see myself
as doing crazy things, but I have done
a few daring things. The most daring
thing Ive done is to walk away from
my full-time corporate job at Blue Cross
of Northeastern Pennsylvania after 11
years to invest full time in my business.
I recently completed the Warrior Dash,
a 3.5-mile obstacle race which was
marketed as the craziest frickin day
of your life. That was pretty wild with
mud, high walls, barbed wire, re
all followed by beer. Next up is a half
marathon.
What did you want to be when
you grew up? Would you believe that I
wanted to be a writer and a comedian? I
didnt know I would do it but here I am.
Favorite quote: Its by my favorite
painter Vincent van Gogh: What would
life be if we had no courage to attempt
anything?
Favorite song: That keeps changing
with popular music. Im a big Lady Gaga
fan, but I dont know if Ill be humming
Poker Face or The Edge of Glory in
ve or 10 years. I love Madonna after all
of these years, so maybe I will. The one
song that is timeless for me is Samuel
Barbers Adagio for Strings. Its a
beautiful, haunting piece of music.
If your best friend had to
describe you, what would he/she
say? My best friend would say that Im
funny, a bit neurotic, opinionated, loyal,
dependable, straightforward, strong.

pusss
novel approach
E
very now and then, you
need an easy, light-heart-
ed read thats still got
some substance. In her novel,
Ten Beach Road, Wendy
Wax nails that formula and
manages to straddle the fine
line between complicated and
just plain sentimental, produc-
ing the perfect accompaniment
to a beach chair and a bright
blue sky.
Ten Beach Road tells the
story of three very different
women, mother hen Madeline,
glamorous Nicole and architec-
tural genius Avery, who have
bad judgment in common, all
having lost most of their mon-
ey as the result of investing in
a Ponzi scheme run by the
missing Malcolm Dyer (who
also happens to be Nicoles
brother).
The women are brought
together by a shared asset, a
mansion in Florida that needs
some heavy refurbishing, and
since all three are stone-cold
broke, they decide to spend
the summer sharing in the
work so they can sell and
recoup some of their money.
The premise sounds exagger-
ated, and the novel starts out
that way, with Madelines
world crumbling in every fore-
seeable form, but as the story
progresses, Wax begins to
unfold a tale of unlikely
friendship and bonds that tugs
at even the most pragmatic of
readers. The way those bonds
progress is, at times, predict-
able, but also deliciously fun,
and with plot twists and some
attractively painted male char-
acters who only slightly
call to mind the cover of a
Harlequin novel Wax ap-
peals to the most inherently
feminine side of the reader.
While the plot might fool
one into thinking the book is
just another in a long line of
chick lit titles, Waxs charac-
ters are what really take Ten
Beach Road far beyond that.
Before you even realize it, the
personalities have grown and
blossomed and their detailed
descriptions cause them to
have a presence that is usually
difficult to achieve through
written word. And it helps that
the dialogue is down-to-earth
and easy to relate to, especial-
ly for someone looking for a
good old-fashioned escape.
Sure, Ten Beach Road has
Lifetime Movie Network poten-
tial. But its also got colorful
characters, a few fun romances
and witty dialogue with some
unexpected twists that definite-
ly make it worth a read. Wax
has created a fictional world
thats easy to get lost in but is
also easy to understand.

M
ary Mary, a gospel duo
comprised of sisters Erica
and Tina Campbell, recently
released Something Big, its sixth
studio album. The sisters have collected a
few Grammy awards during their 10-plus
years of making music. Therefore the
music, even if you arent a fan of gospel,
has enough r&b, hip-hop and a tiny bit
of jazz to keep your attention throughout
your listen.
L
imp Bizkit wasnt always as bad
as people said.
They were legit superstars
because they had naughty pranks as
good as anyones. Replacing a naughty
word with yeah in Nookie made it a
classic; deconstructing a pop gauntlet as
spotless as George Michaels Faith was
audacious.
Fred Durst once knew the humorous
side of being scum, once sang Nobody
loves me / Maybe Ill go eat worms. But
I
ts been a while since weve
heard from Beyonce. After
carving out a place for
herself as the queen of scorned,
independent women with hits
like Irreplaceable, Single
Ladies (Put a Ring on It) and
her duet with Shakira, Beautiful
Liar, the 29-year-old diva
returns with her rst studio
album in almost three years, the
aptly named 4, maintaining
that status and then some.
4 boasts the same bold,
bombshell glamour for which
Beyonce is known, but it does
zzle out in places. The opening
ballad, 1+1, leaves much to be
desired with its cheesy lyrics and

Mary Mary
Something Big
W

The lyrics to the entire album are
just what one would expect: Straight-
up gospel. The opening track, also
titled Something Big, is a typical
hand-clapping gospel tune that blares
the greatness of Jesus. On deck is
Something Bigger, a song that is a bit
faster paced and leans towards the reggae
vibe. Its all about living big for the
Lord. Again, not too bad if youre open
to different styles.
Near the middle of the album
is Walking, a solid listen that
incorporates gospel with turntable
scratches. Near the end of the record
is Sitting With Me, which has the
group singing about the reality of being
alienated as a Christian in a song lled
with good energy and ow that goes
perfectly with the story being told.
All in all, Mary Marys Something
Big is much better and more diverse
than expected. The entire album is
focused on God, and its production ows
wonderfully over good lyrical content.
All fans of gospel will be ocking to
pick this up, but some r&b and even hip-
hop fans may want to give it a few spins
as well.

he was plenty loved by the time he made
a video in which he screams in a bound
Thora Birchs face. Hes lost the plot,
and even his targets on Gold Cobra are

Why dont you get a life? he screams

his gun expertise is any indication, I

awkward high notes, and Party
which features rapper Andre
3000, is a little too 80s retro
(and not in a good way).
Otherwise, the album coasts
through, alternating between hard
and soft beats and vocals, like on
the erce rst single, Run The
World (Girls), and the emotional
I Miss You. The lyrics seem to
follow the same path, switching
with ease from lovesick to
romantic without much rhyme or
reason, and End of Time is a
prime example of just how sappy
the lyrics can be. Apparently,
marriage has mellowed the
former dream girl.
The real standouts are the
classic r&b throwback Love
On Top, the poignant I Was
Here and Best Thing I Never
Had, which is undeniably the
Irreplaceable of 2011.
Throughout the album, the
usual digital, synthetic-sounding
beats were used to with Beyonce
are replaced by more authentic
instrumentals, which nicely
complement the passionate,
sometimes rough-around-the-
edges vocals.
With 4, Beyonce seems to be
back to claim her spot at the top
of the chats, and with quite a few
novel-sounding songs and much
more mature, heartfelt vocals,
theres no doubt she will.

A
sea of beautiful, young
women line up wearing the
fiercest outfit in their
wardrobe and patiently wait their
turn. Each set of legs belonging to
themends with a pair of strappy
heels, stilettos or rock-star pumps.
You may be imagining this is the
line for entry at one of Northeast-
ern Pennsylvanias clubs, but you
are mistaken. This is just the usual
display of sass and beauty at an
Americas Next Top Model
casting call in NEPA.
For the past four years, The CW
WSWBand myFOXnepa.com
have hosted these open casting
calls at the Shoppes at Montage in
Moosic. Interested candidates are
invited to complete an application
and attend these open auditions in
our own backyard. The most
recent Americas Next Top Mod-
el (ANTM) casting call was held
in February and herded more than
120 applicants fromthe area. The
call was open to women between
the ages of 18-27 who are more
than 5-foot 6-inches tall. (Dis-
claimer: The height requirement
unfortunately cannot be met with
the help of your strappy heels or
rock-star pumps).
The next casting call will be
held Thursday, July 7 from2-7
p.m. at the Shoppes.
I was lucky enough to partici-
pate in one of these local
ANTM casting calls. My duty,
however, was not to strut my
stuff in front of the camera as a
model hopeful, but instead be
behind the scenes as an intern for
the CWWSWB. It was my re-
sponsibility to write questions for
the applicants on-camera in-
terviews that would formtheir
audition tape. The experience of
interviewing the candidates was a
truly fascinating one. There were
those who were visibly uncom-
fortable in front of the camera,
those who were a little too com-
fortable, and those who seemed to
possess the ability to cry on cue as
a heart wrenching (and some-
times irrelevant) personal story
snuck into one of their answers.
All jibes aside, though, there were
numerous girls auditioning who
struck me as potential candidates
I could certainly see on the show.
The tasks that go into the audi-
tion process are simple enough,
but each step contributes greatly
to the overall impression the Top
Model casting director will form
for each applicant. Candidates
first state their basic information
on camera, and then showcase
their best catwalk on the concrete
runway. Close-up and profile
shots follow, along with the op-
portunity to answer questions
that, hopefully, exemplify the
candidates personality. Questions
can cover topics ranging from
personal fashion opinions and
vacation spots to the ultimate and
most imperative question: Why
do you want to be Americas
Next Top Model? The final step
includes a deep breath and cross-
ing of fingers while waiting to
hear if the casting director is
interested in seeing the hopefuls
audition tape to knowmore about
them.
So, its great that there are
open-casting calls for this nation-
al showin our vicinity, but do the
girls that audition in NEPAever
make it on the show? Cheryl
Willis, promotions assistant for
FOX56/The CWWSWB, as-
sured that there have been mul-
tiple instances of women in our
area succeeding to further rounds
of ANTM.
In the past, I had heard that a
fewgirls had gotten call backs
and made it to some other levels
of the contest, but just this past
season, on Cycle 16, Brittani
Kline fromBeech Creek made it
to the finals, Willis explained. It
turned out that she won Amer-
icas Next Top Model.
Nineteen-year-old Kline audi-
tioned at the July 2010 casting call
at the Shoppes, and proved suc-
cessful in making the Top14
before becoming Americas Next
Top Model earlier this year. As
the cycle winner, Kline will re-
ceive a modeling contract in
addition to a multitude of other
perks and showing the shows
casting directors that local talent
in NEPAcan definitely be discov-
ered on the show. W

casting call, Thurs., July 7, 2-7
p.m., The Shoppes at Montage

ralphie report
the
By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender

Love Song and King of

Anything are Sara Bare-
illes two biggest hits to
date, and coincidentally both
songs are cut from similar cloths.
The singer was frustrated with
the record label and music indus-
trys lack of acceptance with her
material, and addressed the sit-
uation musically.
Consequently, Bareilles has set
a bit of a precedent for herself
with Epic Records.
(The label) knows if they
want to get me going, they just
have to be an asshole, she joked
during a sit-down interview on
The Ralphie Radio Show. I
definitely am someone who
channels my frustration through
music. Its better than going
postal on people.
On the outset she seems far
from the postal type conser-
vatively dressed and made up,
great voice, solid skills on the
ivories. But then you listen to
Bareilles lyrics and her speech
(shes a self-proclaimed potty
mouth) and you soon realize that
the artist is a little more unapol-
ogetic and a lot more outspoken
than the average VH1 artist.
This makes for an interesting
dynamic on tour right now, as she
is supporting the more conserva-
tive, soft-spoken country group
Sugarland.
I definitely have already
curbed my bad habit, but its part
of my personality, and Im not
going to apologize for it, said
Bareilles, confirming that un-
apologetic attribute I spoke of a
minute ago. Ill just have to give
moms the signal like, OK, ear-
muffs!
Its stories and quotes like the
aforementioned that make it a lot
easier to understand another one
of Bareilles recent decisions to
not only tour, but volunteer in
Japan. The Southern California
native teamed up with All Hands
Volunteers to literally dig ditches
in the tragedy-stricken country at
a time when other musicians
were cancelling dates overseas.
People were nervous about
(the trip), myself included, she
admitted. What I realized in
hindsight, especially in the
States, the nuclear power plant
news has overshadowed every-
thing else so much. So everyone
is so fearful of the radiation. Its a
skewed idea of whats happening
over there.
Bareilles saw first-hand that
many parts of Japan were not
affected by the power plant and
others simply need volunteers to
assist in the rebuilding process.
The singers advice was rather
simple: Donate, volunteer, or
simply continue to do business
with the country, whether it is an
artist honoring tour dates or a
vacation not cancelled.
Perhaps in standing up for the
island, Bareilles set another ex-
ample for herself and other
American artists. Surely her
record label doesnt mind this
precedent either.
THE VOICE OF THE VOICE
In one of the more anti-climat-
ic reality show finishes in recent
memory, Hartford, Conn., native
Javier Colon won the first sea-
son of NBCs singing competi-
tion, The Voice. Colon was
under the tutelage of coach and
Maroon 5 frontman Adam Le-
vine.
Shortly after winning the com-
petition, Colon told TMZ cam-
eras that not only will he be
working with Levine on his
forthcoming album, but hell also
team up with fellow Voice
coach Cee Lo Green. As part of
his grand prize, Colon received
$100,000 and a recording con-
tract with Universal Republic.

SERVING UP THE AREAS BEST TACOS,
SHORT RIBS, KOREAN STEAK & CHICKEN PLUS THE
VEGETARIAN MAGIC MUSHROOM SANDWICH!!!
WILKES-BARRES ONLY GOURMET FOOD TRUCK
Come see us at the Back Mountain Memorial
Library Auction this weekend!
Carne asada tacos are a
hot item on The Magic Bus
Cafe menu, and a lunch treat
owner and operator Jason
Prutzman said sells out on many
occasions.
Hours: 11 a.m.-2 p.m.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday;
8 a.m.-2 p.m. Tuesday and
Thursday; 4-7 p.m. Monday to
The Magic Bus Cafe
Thursday; 4-8 p.m. Friday
Featured food : Carne-asada
tacos
Magic Bus Cafe owner Jason
Prutzman, 33, of Wilkes-Barre
just wants to put out dishes that
bring happiness.
Food is for enjoyment, and I
want to provide that for people,
he said.
Prutzmans menu is not one
typically found on a food truck
and is touted as gourmet feel-
good food.
He has Korean chicken,
braised short ribs and sausage
and peppers on his menu, as
well as a simpler treat he cant
keep on the shelves.
I cannot keep the carne-
asada tacos in stock, he said.
It seems like I make a bunch
of them and, before I know it,
theyre gone. They just y out
the window.
The carne-asada tacos are
made of citrus-marinated steak,
pico de gallo, guacamole and
queso.
A view of our outdoor deck bar.
By Sarah Pokorny
Special to the Weekender
Prutzman has been in the
restaurant industry all his life.
His family owns Dukeys Cafe
on North Pennsylvania Avenue
in Wilkes-Barre.
So why did he opt for a truck
instead of a restaurant?
Alot of businesses say the
most important thing is location,
location, location, which is true,
and I get to be in any location I
want.
Prutzman has steady serving
spots in Wilkes-Barre three
days a week and uses the other
days traveling to any location
he thinks will work best, or
to where hes requested. Hes
always open to suggestions on
where to park next.
Ive found that using
Facebook to keep customers
in the loop has been a
tremendous help, he
said. I post where I am
on travel days, as well
as specials or new menu
items I may have on
certain days.
The Magic Bus Cafe is
the name of the businesss
Facebook page.
Prutzman is always
experimenting with new dishes.
One of his newest featured
tacos is a Korean chicken with
pineapple mango salsa and
queso.
When Im getting creative
with the food and having a good
time, it stops feeling like a job,
he said.
I just want to keep it simple,
keep it fresh and keep people
coming back.

Monday: Union Street,
Wilkes-Barre;

T
heres a storm
brewing.
The Internet is
echoing with the
sound of distant artillery. Insert
some other ominous hyperbole
here, should you so desire.
This could be big.
Google has begun inviting
people to test its new social
media site, Google+. But this
test site is no ugly prototype;
its a fully featured, well-
thought-out social environment
where users can view posts,
photos and updates added by
their friends.
For the more clique
conscious, or just those
concerned with privacy, it
offers Circles, a well-thought-
out graphical alternative
to Facebooks sometimes
bewildering array of privacy
options. It integrates YouTube,
Gmail, Google Voice, its
new +1 search service, and
more ... essentially its entire
array of services is somehow
implemented. And from my
perspective, just as Google
Search supplanted all of the old
defunct search engines of yore,
just as Gmail made Hotmail
passe overnight, just as Google
Voice made Skype suddenly
seem a whole lot less cool,
Google+ may turn Facebook
into Friendster, or perhaps
MySpace.
I give Facebook credit. Its
big. And maybe its big enough
to survive Googles doomsday
project. But Google, despite
its core philosophy, Dont
Be Evil, is insidious, in a
utilitarian sort of way. People
will start using it because its
tech talk
By Nick Delorenzo
Special to the Weekender
there with Gmail and YouTube
and Google Search, and
suddenly, Facebook may start
to seem a lot less relevant.
Who knows. Maybe it will
fop. But I doubt it. Its too
sleek, too functional, too
Google-ish not to work once it
hits prime time.
Does the world have
enough room for Google
and Facebook? Do you have
enough time to handle both?
Maybe the two will play
nicely, forming interfaces and
integration that makes one just
as good as the other, but I tend
to doubt it. They have far too
many conficting interests for
that to happen. W

2011 has been a great year
for the River grille so far, with
new management, new food and
drink menus, and the addition
of entertainment. Dancing

expansion to the River Grilles
night life with DJs every
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
nights from 9:30pm-1:30am,
no cover ever! Their deck bar
is nally open 7 days a week,
River Grille
and their daily food and drink
specials are outstanding. River
Grille is now boasting out door
darts on the deck and another
one inside next to the pool
table. Pool and dart leagues are
coming soon.
Their all new menu guaranties
something for everyone from
pizza and wings, to crab cakes
and let mignon. The revamped
drink menu will make you feel
like you are on an island resort,
and they have their Endless
Summer Deck staffed and
heated year round for those of
you who dont want the summer
to end.
They have had great success
with events such as their,
Cinco de Mayo Fiesta, and
The Mustache Bash. They
have events in the works for
the future so stay up to date

SCRANTON The crowd
may have started out a little
skimpy, but that didnt stop 80s
icons Def Leppard and Heart
from rocking the socks off of
Toyota Pavilion at Montage
Mountain Wednesday, June 29
with The Mirrorball Tour.
The show began with an un-
expected twist when, in an un-
precedented move, opening act
Evan Watson brought out Def
Leppard guitarist Vivian Camp-
bell to perform a tune with him
during his three-song set.
And things just kept rolling
from there. Heart, fronted by
knockout vocalist Ann Wilson,
blazed through Cook With
Fire and Heartless, stopping
for a beat so Wilson could pro-
claim that a couple, decked out
in Def Leppard and Heart shirts
with their arms around each
other had it right. The band
covered all the huge hits, in-
cluding What About Love,
These Dreams and Alone,
interjecting slightly lesser-known
hits WTF and Youre the
Voice.
Finishing with Crazy On
You and Barracuda, Heart
returned for an encore, perform-
ing Led Zeppelins What Is &
What Should Never Be. The
entire set was one defined by
effortless force, and guitarist
Nancy Wilson, with her multidi-
mensional musical talent, proved
that the long-past cliche of girl
power is still alive and well.
Def Leppard finally took the
stage which was overshad-
owed by a huge disco ball sus-
pended from the ceiling with
Undefeated, and while that
song seemed to promise only a
lukewarm evening, the band
quickly got the fire burning
with Lets Get Rocked, Ani-
mal and Let It Rock, which
ended with phenomenal vocals.
After addressing the audience
with his regally British voice,
frontman Joe Elliott and his
band launched right into Foo-
lin and Love Bites, and a
bass solo yes, bass solo
acted as an interlude before a
very sexy version of the cover
of David Essexs Rock On.
The entire band (except for
drum impresario Rick Allen)
moved to the front of the ex-
tended stage to perform acoustic
versions of Two Steps Behind
and Bringin On the Heart-
break, before which Elliott
asked the energetic crowd,
How do you fancy joining the
band for about seven or eight
minutes?
Def Leppard rocketed through
Hysteria, Photograph, where
Elliotts vocals were smoother
than ever, and the radio anthem
Pour Some Sugar On Me,
before exiting, leaving the
crowd begging for more.
And the encore, Rock Of
Ages, could not have been
more appropriate, because after
seeing this show, its pretty like-
ly that any preconceived notions
one might have had about Def
Leppards strictly-80s-hair-band
status will be thrown out the
window. Every single member
of the band was at the top of his
game the entire night, throwing
out lengthy, ridiculously good
solos like it was nothing and
amping up the crowd through
simple, pure rock n roll.
Both Heart and, especially,
Def Leppard brought more force
to the performance than fans
have seen from either one in
awhile, and the bands definitely
shocked the pants off of anyone
who thought the show was sim-
ply going to be some 80s rock
stars just going through the
motions. W

Wednesday night in Scranton.

hen thinking of
the term, girly
girl, think of local
trendsetter Abigail
Ratchford of Clarks Summit.
The epitome of feminine, this
23 year old has no qualms of
experimenting with irty attire
and bright colors. Always on
the lookout for sexy ensembles,
Ratchford struck a few poses as
she let NEPAin on her fashion
secrets.
WEEKENDER: Where is
your favorite place to shop?
RATCHFORD: Forever 21.
WEEKENDER: Whats
your favorite accessory?
RATCHFORD: Oversized
gold hoops.
WEEKENDER: What is
your favorite brand name?
RATCHFORD: Marc Jacobs.
WEEKENDER: How would
you describe your look?
RATCHFORD: Feminine and
colorful.
WEEKENDER: What type
of clothing do you own the
most of?
RATCHFORD: Dresses!
WEEKENDER: If you
could redo your entire
wardrobe, what would you
fll your closet with?
RATCHFORD: 200 Herve
Leger dresses in every color.
Theyre super chic and attering.
WEEKENDER: What one
item of clothing could you
never part with?
RATCHFORD: My four-inch
nude platform heels I just bought
that go with everything.
WEEKENDER: How do
Style Pick:
Abigail
Ratchford,
Clarks Summit
you go about choosing your
outft for the day?
RATCHFORD: Whatever
catches my eye as soon as I open
my closet and makes me feel
inspired and sexy.
WEEKENDER: What are
your fashion pet peeves?
RATCHFORD: People who
try to rock every trend at the
same time when picking an outt
calm down.
WEEKENDER: What do
you feel you look best in?
RATCHFORD: Girly tted
dresses and heels.
WEEKENDER:
Whats your favorite
comfy outft?
RATCHFORD: Black
Victorias Secret yoga pants and
a cute T-shirt.
WEEKENDER: When did
you start to develop your
own sense of style?
RATCHFORD: Growing up
the fth of seven kids, I learned
to distinguish myself at a young
age through my clothes and to
never be afraid to try something
different in order to stand out.
Ive experimented with style my
entire life, and my own sense of
it is constantly evolving.
WEEKENDER: If you
could shop anywhere in the
world, where would it be?
RATCHFORD: Acool
vintage clothing store in Paris
would be my No. 1 pick. My
second choice would be a free-
for-all shopping spree on Rodeo
Drive. W
Clockwise from top left: Lilac one-shoulder mini dress, true pink side cut out dress and yellow
print maxi dress.

Coopers Seafood House
in Scranton
Pat Pisko
P
at Pisko has been a server
since high school and
has worked at restaurants
all over. But after 12
years at Coopers Seafood House
in Scranton, Pat considers this
establishment home.
When asked what makes Coopers
such a special place to work, Pat
explains that its the people I work
with and the Coopers themselves. We
all know each other and have seen
each others kids grow up.
Pats daughter also works at
Coopers during summer months
and college breaks. With repeat
customers frequently asking
specically for her, Pat elaborates on
why customers keep coming back.
I think were a legend in Scranton.
Hotels recommend us. People
relate to the memorabilia on the
walls. Working at Coopers is like
working for family. I cant imagine
doing anything else. If you love
it, it shows. And it shows to the
customers.
What do you like most about
the service industry? The
people.
Favorite dish at Coopers: Coral
Reef Linguine shrimp, scallops
and sweet clam sauce. We have the
best seafood around. For dessert,
Peanut butter pie!
Funniest experience as a
server: Once when my tray was
really loaded up, I dropped a baked
potato. It hit a lady in the back of the
head and then slid down her back.
Most memorable moment: I met
Larry Holmes, who left a huge tip,
the biggest tip Ive ever had. When I
was 16 and waiting in a diner in New
Jersey, I waited on Muhammad Ali
who told me, Pat, dont be a fool;
stay in school. W

hether hes a character-
ization or just a man
who left the Amish
community, Raymond the Am-
ish Comic has colored outside
of the lines of the traditional
lifestyle. With a wild stage
presence and a lash of obscen-
ities, its made apparent that
Raymond does not tend the
fields in the morning or take a
horse-drawn buggy to his
shows. Instead he answers
phone calls and responds to
e-mails with his Amish
iPhone, Tweets about his daily
activities and updates his Face-
book regularly.
Beginning with six months
in radio before transitioning to
standup comedy at 31, Ray-
mond handles his own career
and has been performing in
front of laughing audiences for
20 years. His Saturday, July 9
show at Penns Peak in Jim
Thorpe marks this two-decade
anniversary. With the hardships
of trying to survive in the
world of comedy and after
watching the dissipation of
fellow comedians he started
out with, 20 years of standup
is a great feat for Raymond.
Looking back at all of the
years of doing his classic Am-
ish act, Raymond expresses the
enjoyment that he still draws
out of the job.
I love it. I cant imagine
doing anything else, he said
during a telephone interview.
Its a tough business but
its still way better than having
a real job.
Show business isnt easy no
matter which category you
choose to fall under, and Ray-
mond has felt the heat of it.
You look at standup come-
dians and stuff, and you think
that they make a lot of mon-
ey, said Raymond. You find
out they dont, so that is a
smack in the face.
During his performances,
Raymond has spoken of leav-
ing the Amish community and
has had audience members
scratch their heads over the
undisclosed truth. His history
has become nothing but a
myth among fans, which the
comedian likes to encourage
whether its on stage or a part
of his oncoming web series
Among the English that ex-
plains his life.
Theres a legend of me that
I grew tired of farming, and I
just went off to the city and
went crazy, Raymond said.
Its kind of fun to let my
audience connect the dots.
While the Amish theme may
be considered a mockery to
the traditional Amish communi-
ties, the villages are very quiet
about Raymonds depiction and
performances. However, he did
not fail to mention that he has
seen groups of young Amish
men sneak to his shows every
other year. The comedian has
tried to keep this on the low-
down with his audience rather
than exploiting their attend-
ances to the shows. Otherwise,
it seems that the Amish pay
no mind to him.
Theyre too busy doing
what they do to bother with
me, Raymond said.
Penns Peak, one of Ray-
monds favorite venues to per-
form at, has a lot planned
behind the event. On top of
this being his anniversary
show, Raymonds excitement
also involves the appearances
by newcomer Jim Banko and
New York comedian Jim Men-
drinos, author of The Com-
plete Idiots Guide to Comedy
Writing. As a self-proclaimed
storyteller and babbler, Ray-
mond has ensured that there
will be new material some-
thing that the comedian strives
for with every performance.
I write all of the time. I
love writing, said Raymond. I
like to try to rewrite what I
call some golden oldies or
punch them up or tweak them
a little bit. Theres always a
bunch of new stuff. I love the
writing process Everybody
who goes up to see my show
every year is going to get a
ton of stuff that theyve never
heard before. W

movie review
reel attractions
By Pete Croatto
Weekender Correspondent

Larry Crowne is a
feature-length reminder
of how lucky we are to
have Julia Roberts and
Tom Hanks grace our humdrum,
Hot Pocket-scarng lives. We
get to bask in Hanks smiley
mug and earnest, aw-shucks
charm. We are treated to
Roberts mane of ery locks and
that bawdy, hearty laugh.
According to director/
co-writer Hanks, in a world
of talking robots and buff
superheroes, nothing beats star
power. Except a lack of common
sense and human emotions.
The absence of those qualities
provides the foundation for an
insulting, ire-inspiring lm that
reveals just how isolated Hanks
is from the real world he
portrays onscreen.
Middle-aged Larry Crowne
(Hanks) works at a behemoth,
Target-like store, where he is
a model employee, voluntarily
picking up trash in the parking
lot and doing other thankless
tasks with a smile. But Larrys
lack of a college degree makes
him irrelevant at the store,
whose upper management
coldly dismisses him.
Divorced and short on funds,
Larry immediately searches
for work, making phone
calls and knocking on doors.
Nothing happens. His neighbor
(a surprisingly good Cedric
the Entertainer) recommends
community college. Larry signs
up for a handful of classes,
including a speech class with
Mrs. Tainot, an annoyed,
tart-tongued professor who
nurses a perpetual hangover
and a disdain for her job. That
Roberts plays this thoroughly
unappealing character is why
were supposed to like her, a
request no sensible person can
honor.
Shes stuck in a loveless
marriage. Larry is divorced. Its
inevitable that theyre going
to be sharing a toothbrush at
some point. Hanks reassuring
script, written with Nia Vardalos
(My Big Fat Greek Wedding),
practically announces their
union and insults our
intelligence in every possible
way. In his path to educational
enlightenment, everyone
supports Larry: Professors,
neighbors, even a stylish, sexy
classmate (Gugu Mbatha-Raw)
who happily renovates Larrys
house and wardrobe for no
apparent reason. All this help
is troubling because he does
Not a crowning achievement

Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts star in Larry Crowne, the story of a down-on-his-luck displaced worker who goes back to school to try and catch a break.
nothing to earn it, except be
nice.
That should comfort the
millions of unemployed good
guys starving for a break.
Sure, your house is about to be
foreclosed. The creditors phone
calls are incessant. But, hey, turn
that frown upside down, say
please and thank you, and youll
get thousands of dollars in new
clothes from attractive, nubile
twentysomethings!
Roberts role is even more
perplexing. We never learn
why shes fond of Larry, what
forces her to hate teaching and
then care about the profession.
Theres no wake-up moment,
aside from dumping her
washed-up writer husband
(Bryan Cranston), a character
so detestable Im shocked
Hanks didnt write him as a
Nazi pedophile hunchback.
Suddenly, Tainot emerges sunny
and bubbly. Hanks and Vardalos
dont allow student and teacher
to have fun in nding each
other. Theres no irty banter,
no obstacles to overcome. Its
a preordained and conict-
free arrangement, so theres
no reason for us to care about
anything or anyone.
Larry Crowne offers us
the brands of Tom Hanks and
Julia Roberts. Theres nothing
wrong with that, except when
the director believes that brand
placement is the movie. And
when thats prescribed to soothe
moviegoers frazzled by the
wobbly economy. Hanks may
be cinemas everyman, but he
isnt Americas everyman. Its
amazing and unfortunate
for us that he could be this
clueless.

By Alan K. Stout
Weekender Music Columnist
W
hen concert venues
began announcing their
summer lineups earlier
this year, one band that ap-
peared on some of those lists
was a pleasant surprise, partic-
ularly to its self-proclaimed
Army of fans. KISS, which
had toured throughout much of
2009 and 2010 and is in the
midst of recording a new al-
bum, wasnt expected to be on
the road this year. And yet on
the road they are, including a
stop at the Mt. Laurel Pocono
Mountains Performing Arts
Center on Wednesday, July 13.
KISS co-founder Paul Stan-
ley, in an interview with the
Weekender, says that at one
point the band had conducted
an online poll asking its fans
where theyd like to see a show.
And while it wasnt always
possible for the group to get to
some of those places on the
2009-2010 tour, some of the
stops on this summers road
jaunt are now indeed in those
regions.
There were cities that we
just didnt get to, and we felt
an obligation to go there, says
Stanley. Quite a few of the
cities were hitting are not your
major cities, but were cities we
felt we owed a show.
Stanley says this is not the
first time that KISS has briefly
halted the recording of an al-
bum to return to the road. He
says the band did the same
thing circa 1975-76 while work-
ing on its classic Destroyer
album. We did Destroyer in
two segments, he says. We
recorded quite a bit of it and
took a break. We were still
touring on Alive, and then we
went back and finished the
album. Not to draw any paral-
lels, but we have done it be-
fore.
Stanley says the new KISS
album, which will be released
in 2012, is in some ways a
continuation of 2009s Sonic
Boom, as it will be the second
studio recording featuring the
lineup of Stanley, bassist/vocal-
ist Gene Simmons, guitarist
Tommy Thayer and drummer
Eric Singer. This time, however,
he says the band is on more
solid footing.
The Sonic Boom album
was us coming to terms and
exploring who we are today as
a band, he says. Everything
we do is based on our past, and
it was really time to see how
that would manifest itself in the
studio. Were proud of whom
weve been and who we are,
but it was a matter of, OK.
How does that translate to new
songs? How does that translate
to the sound and the vibe?
Sonic Boom was us, in a
sense, on a path of discovery.
This next album is not that, in
a sense that were very clear
and very sure of who we are.
With a catalog of music dat-
ing back 37 years, Stanley ad-
mits putting the set list together
to accompany KISS dazzling
stage show can be a challenge.
Were kind of between a
rock and a hard place, he says.
Do we pepper the show with
obscure songs to please a hand-
ful of rabid fans, or do you do
a set list that pleases thou-
sands? Clearly, were going the
route to please the masses. If
somebody doesnt get to hear
Two Timer theres a reason.
Because if we put in Two
Timer we might have to take
out Shout It Out Loud.
Stanley says that, for a road
veteran like himself, hes en-
joyed playing in towns and at
venues that are new to the
band.
So far, five shows in, and
five of the places, Ive never
been to, he says. Its surpris-
ing. This is the tour that we
spoke about. Were going to a
lot of places that wanted us to
come, and we said we would,
and we are. W

Green piece
By Jen Stevens
Special to the Weekender
E
veryone is aware that our
environment is in a fragile
state. Pollution in the
ocean has been a major issue that
not only affects the oceans, but is
affecting the rest of Earth as well.
Our oceans are facing imminent
threat of mass extinction and
need our help now.
A recent report from the In-
ternational Programme on the
State of the Ocean (IPSO) was
released and warned on the seri-
ous condition of our oceans. The
report concluded that the worlds
oceans are in more trouble than
we had previously thought.
The findings are shocking,
said IPSO Scientific Director
Alex Rogers. As we considered
the cumulative effect of what
humankind does to the ocean, the
implications become far worse
than we had individually realized.
This is a very serious situation
demanding unequivocal action at
every level.
The conclusions of the report
were presented to the United
Nations and were conducted by a
group of marine experts and
scientists from various back-
grounds. The report states that
the impact humans have had on
the planet in recent centuries is
most likely going to cause a mass
marine extinction.
If the oceans are facing such a
threat, this would mean that the
rest of the planet is in a lot of
trouble. We depend on the ocean
for 70 percent of Earths oxygen.
They are also responsible for
rain; if we didnt have rain, we
wouldnt have food.
The report stated that over-
fishing is a large contribution to
ocean threats. It would be easiest
for governments to reverse over-
fishing to help regulate the prob-
lem. Fisheries should also be
managed more responsibly in
order to make sure they are only
taking out fish they need and not
doing any illegal trading.
So what can we do to try and
help this major problem? Individ-
uals can switch to cleaner energy
such as wind or solar power.
Recycle and lower consumption
of glass and plastic containers to
help prevent plastic debris from
being dumped into the ocean. If
you do eat fish, make sure what
you are eating is harvested in a
sustainable way.
The situation demands global
action in order to reduce pollu-
tion. We have heard environ-
mental threats before but hope-
fully this new report will change
the minds of government offi-
cials so they can make it a point
to begin to tackle this serious
problem. W
An ocean full
of trouble
Sights like this will become more common if we dont
start taking care of our oceans.
This is a very
serious situation
demanding
unequivocal action
at every level.

Ride of
the Week
I wanted to take something ordinary and make it
special, Dickson said of the Sunre that he bought in
2002. I had the car repainted bright red. I always wanted
a red car.
Dickson also replaced the hood with the double
hood scoop, he made the area around the headlights
more squared off and added the additional grillwork
around the bottom of the car because he always liked
the look of that.
Other modications included replacing both side
mirrors to relocate the cars turn signals there and
installing a Boss stereo system and a DVD player.
Im proud of taking the Sunre and making it
different from all the others you see on the roads.
Hopefully I own this car for a long time, Dickson said. W

sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
Weekender Correspondent
L
ast year the house I was
renting at school was in
need of a new roof, and
for that summer, so was I.
Not in favor of staying at my
parents house, I decided to
apply at summer camps. A
few weeks later I found my-
self as the newest staff mem-
ber at an all-boys sleep-away
camp in northern Minnesota.
I see you have some expe-
rience in the entertainment
industry, noticed the camp
representative who hired me.
Would you be interested in
instructing drama?
Though more interested in
a roof over my head, I ac-
cepted the position. I as-
sumed there would be a team
of trained thespians Id just
assist. When I got there, I
found out I was the only staff
member in the drama depart-
ment!
You may get lucky and get
five or six kids to sign up for
a three day block here and
there, explained the camps
program director. Or, if
someone gets sunburned,
well put them in drama so
theyll be inside.
It looked as though I was
about to spend my summer
sweating inside with asth-
matic Andy and klutzy Kevin,
trying to inspire them to let
their faded star shine. Howev-
er, it was worse! The pro-
gram office assigned a group
of Russians who couldnt
speak English to my class.
This is when I realized things
needed to change.
Though I couldnt blame a
group of adolescent boys for
opting to windsurf or shoot
rifles over taking a drama
class, I was still determined
to find a way to make my
activity cool. So, I decided to
put on a camp show!
Im casting for a camp
show! I announced after
dinner one day to a group of
uninterested faces. The show
is going to be Billy Madi-
son! That got everyones
attention!
One week later, a cast of
23 boys between the ages of
10-15 turned Billy Madison
The Musical into a camp
show nobody will ever forget.
As the show wrapped, one of
the cooler kids took two steps
forward to belt the closing
song, Journeys Dont Stop
Believin. As the entire
camp joined in on the chorus,
I realized this all happened
because I didnt stop believ-
ing in a lost cause.
Drama became one of the
most popular activities that
summer, later presenting Bill
& Teds Excellent Adventure
and Chuck Norris, Are You
My Father? The Musical,
but thats another story W
Watch Justin compete in
Dancing With The NEPA
Stars this Friday, July 8 at
the Scranton Cultural Center.
Justin used Billy Madison as a motivational tool for
campers.
Don't stop
believin'

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
Im glad you no longer feel you require
approval from others to follow your hearts
desires. However, hiding your romantic or
sexual interests because that approval
(which, yes, you no longer need, but still
want) wont be forthcoming is a bad idea,
almost as bad as desperately requiring their
validation. Whether you meet their prudish
or snobbish standards is irrelevant; you
deserve to live how you want to live. If
they dont like it, they can suck it. Dont
tiptoe around their delicate porcelain sensi-
bilities. Smash them to bits if you have to.
Most importantly, though, just live your
life.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
Leos can be very selfish. This we know
and accept about you. What youre sup-
posed to be learning isnt shame about
knowing what you want and pursuing your
desires, but determining which ones you
should go for, and which are best left alone
and, hopefully, eventually, forgotten. Hav-
ing an affair would be an example of one
of these selfish desires whose pursuit
would be a mistake, no matter how you
twist and turn and rationalize it. Many
other choices fall into the same category.
Since one or more of these is likely to
tempt you this week, remember my words
and resist their allure.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Even when you think things are really
bad, remember: They could always be
worse. Its tempting to complain and feel
miserable about your circumstances (and
Im sure many in your boat do just that),
but its also completely unproductive.
Before you open your mouth to bitch about
this or that, ask yourself whether moaning
about your dissatisfaction will do any
good. That is, actually catalyze change. If
it wont, shut up and focus your energies
towards looking at the bright side of things
even if those only exist in contrast with
other potentially worse situations you
could end up in, otherwise.
LIBRA(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Im an easy crier. I rarely weep in real
life situations, but sit me in front of a senti-
mental commercial, and Ill be reaching
for a tissue before its 30 seconds are up.
Instead of being embarrassed that my
emotions are so easily tapped, I feel lucky.
So many people have made themselves
numb to the (sometimes painful) beauty of
life; I feel confident that my way, if wetter,
works better for me. Shedding tears so
easily isnt something I recommend; how-
ever, allowing your most tender feelings to
live a little closer to the surface, where
they can at least be seen, would be a good
idea this week.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Everyones had the experience of some-
one elses generosity turning out to be so
much of a hassle that you wish theyd
never bothered. This isnt always about
steel cable strings attached. Sometimes its
just that ill-fitting handmade sweater or
hideous knickknack you must subsequent-
ly force yourself to wear/display to prevent
hurt feelings. What youre giving doesnt
feel like a red and green Christmas pull-
over to you but it may still be per-
ceived as such by the recipient. Since I
know you dont want to be that person
(Wheres that fertility statuette I gave
you?), make sure what youre offering is
truly wanted before you go to the effort.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
People do change, just not often (or even
usually) the way or using the timetable
wed prefer. Most real transformation
(beyond training someone not to leave the
toilet seat up) must come from within, and
can only happen if the person deeply and
truly wants it. Quitting smoking is a cinch
if someone wholeheartedly wants to; its
when theyre doing it because someone
else wants them to, because they should,
or for some arbitrary reason, that it be-
comes nearly impossible. You cant force
things like this to happen. Knowing that,
its your call: Will you wait for them to
choose the change you want, for them-
selves, learn to live with it, or split?
CAPRICORN(DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
The thing about depression is that those
who suffer it often feel isolated and alone.
They will frequently rebuff offers of help,
or try to make you feel stupid or rude for
thinking they even need it. Of course,
sometimes you might be acting too much
the mother hen, but its your job to figure
out if thats the case, or if these are just
ill-tuned defense mechanisms going off. If
someone really could use the hand theyre
so reluctant to take, its your job to figure
out how to give it to them despite their own
resistance. Be creative and kind here,
please. Thats the only thing thatll do the
trick.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Theres almost always a graceful way to
deal with awkward or painful social sit-
uations; its just finding and executing it in
a timely manner thats difficult. Everyones
gone to sleep kicking themselves over
something they said that day, or wishing
theyd been more polite, funny or kind.
Finding the compassionate, humorous, or
empowering way through these delicate
scenarios is very difficult; nevertheless
thats the tricky challenge you must face
this week. Your goal is to avoid any late
night self-kicking. Easier said than done, I
know. However, just stay present and pay
attention and you shouldnt have a prob-
lem.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH20)
Pisceans are not known for their unshak-
eable connections to reality. In fact, your
loose grasp of the concept is the fuel for
your incredible intuition, inspiring cre-
ativity, and powerful empathy. However, it
can also lead to some unhealthy patterns,
particularly in relationships, where you can
come to rely too much on the other per-
sons perspective, which is hardly unbi-
ased. This is when you could really benefit
from the advice of a third party whose only
agenda is your (and possibly your relation-
ships) happiness. Yes, that might mean
you have to pay someone to play this role.
No, going without is not a viable plan.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL19)
When things arent going the way youd
hoped or planned, you only really have
three recourses: Changing the situation to
more closely resemble your desires, ac-
cepting what it is and letting go of those
desires, or simply walking away, in hopes
that youll find what youre looking for,
elsewhere. Only you can decide which of
those is best here; however, Im here to
advise you to figure it out sooner, rather
than later. The quicker you can make up
your mind regarding what to do about your
dissatisfaction, the better your resolution is
likely to work out.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
When someones suffering and you can
do something about it, you almost always
have a duty to at least try to intervene, even
if thats awkward or difficult to do. It might
be tempting to go about your intervention
in a way thats unlikely to succeed, just to
get yourself off the hook, while relieving
the pressures of your conscience. However,
if your intention is truly to help relieve
suffering, your job is to calculate the best
way to effectively do so, with a minimum
of consequences, not just go through the
motions. That may require extraordinary
effort or creative methods; heres hoping
youre not too lazy to go there.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
Marking your territory like a dog is
hardly appropriate, yet you do need some
clear way to delineate whats yours, be-
cause people are crossing lines left and
right. Instead of feeling besieged and help-
less, you need to sit down (perhaps with
some wise boundary-setter you know) and
come up with some viable strategies for
reclaiming some much-needed space that
others have come to occupy and think of as
their own. Avoid melodrama, anger or
recriminations; at least half of their tres-
passing is your own fault. But do get the
space back; you sorely need it. W

tll be a car-crushing,
dirt-kicking, drag-racing
weekend as the A&A
Auto Stores Summer 4-
Wheel Jamboree Nationals
makes its 24th appearance at
the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds
July 8-10. This years event
features more trucks, driver
debuts and a fireworks spec-
tacular.
Off-roading and 4x4 activ-
ities dominate in NEPA,
especially this time of year.
This love of getting down
and dirty with trucks or
Jeeps makes it an ideal stop
for the Jamboree, bringing
in an estimated 55,000 spec-
tators craving colossal trucks
doing the sickest burnouts
and side-by-side drag racing.
To keep things fresh and
fun, this years show is go-
ing the distance to bring
even more excitement for
fans with a 12-truck lineup
and multiple performances
of the General Tire Monster
Truck Thunder Drags.
This year were featuring
an 8-year-old monster truck
driver named Kid K.J. in his
monster truck Monster
Bear, said Jessica Hubley,
media relations for the 4-
Wheel Jamboree Nationals.
We also have a few new
monster trucks, including
Chalkboard Chuck with a
body made out of a chalk-
board material so kids can
sign their name or write
Chuck words of encourage-
ment before each race. And
of course we always have
the crowd favorite, monster
truck rides in Sergeant
Smash.
The event is a full week-
end of affordable family fun,
Hubley said. Tickets are
valid for all show schedule
activities.
We also work to bring
new and exciting features to
the event every year and
also provide kids with VIP,
up-close-and-personal access
to all of our racers and
monster truck drivers by
making our pit area open to
the general public all week-
end long so kids can get
autographs, Hubley ex-
plained.
Around 3,200 participants
register their show trucks,
Jeeps, and racing vehicles to
compete in the various com-
petitions.
This niche group of 4x4
and off-road enthusiasts
come from every corner of
the U.S. to enjoy the off-
road playground we pro-
vide at the Jamboree, Hu-
bley said. The Bloomsburg
event draws from participa-
nts that attend other shows
as well. The Jamboree is the
only place in the country
where these enthusiasts can
play with and show off their
custom 4x4 creations.
If your 4x4 vehicle isnt
as beastly as youd prefer,
the event can help you trick
out your ride with a Per-
formance Marketplace on
site filled with aftermarket
products and services and
advice from the experts,
which is like a state fair
midway for gear heads,
Hubley said. It has the best
new parts and accessories at
rock-bottom prices and the
experts explain how to get
them installed.
The indoor A&A Auto
Stores Performance Alley
also returns this year, filled
with more than 50 after-
market performance vendors
selling inventory on site at
factory-direct pricing. W

Weekender Correspondent
A
couple of nights be-
fore the Fourth, the
chimes of freedom
were flashing.
Bob Dylan wrote The
Chimes of Freedom in 1964
47 years ago. I was 10. I
am certain I had no ideas
about freedom or drawing
comparisons to thunder and
lightning and the concepts
he was singing about. But I
liked the song. I am even
more certain now that I only
barely have a grasp on what
Dylan wrote about. But I
still like the song. What I
write here owes a lot to
him.
I love thunder and light-
ning storms. When I can
watch them from a safe
place, that is. Something
majestic there is about that
power. With a crash and a
stroke of light, the power
goes out, and then comes
back on. I arise from my
bed and tell the long-suf-
fering wife the mission is to
reset the sump pumps in the
basement. We have been
married a long time. She
knows where I am really
headed.
I stand on our tiny porch.
It doesnt really protect me
from the rain when the wind
blows, but the night I wrote
this column, the downpours
stay on their side of the
roof. I watch the eerie, stop-
motion of light and dark,
the flashbulb glimpses of the
place where I live life, love
life and work to keep it safe
and ours. I admit the Ma-
jestic bells of bolts made
me cringe involuntarily. If
the LSW was up, she would
exhort me to come in to
safety and not be an idiot. I
am what I am. She slumbers
through the pyrotechnics.
Sometimes I wonder if
what we see of real life
isnt just what is illuminated
by zaps of clear light in
between the darkness. Its a
life of quiet desperation
mostly, isnt it? The fine
things, a good glass of
wine, a smile of genuine
delight from a youngster,
coupled with the moments
of abject terror about our
own sure mortality followed
closely by the realization
that we are never more
alive, than when we are
close to death. And in the
big scheme of things we are
always a moment closer to
death. Another brilliant flash
and crash. I listened one last
time, took one last look.
Its a lot to burden a
weather phenomenon with, I
think.
The storm passes. I reset
the sump pumps and return
to bed. W
Majestic bells
of bolts
The majesty of thunder and lightning storms is
something to enjoy.

scooter girl
By Jayne Moore
Weekender Correspondent
T
his year marks the fifth
year of the Stephanie
Jallen Paralympic
Funds annual motorcycle run
and picnic. I have been lucky
enough to have covered this
event for four of those years
and have made some amazing
friends along the way. Stepha-
nie is, without a doubt, my
all-time favorite superhero.
She does indeed leap tall
buildings in a single bound.
This young superwoman has
grown up before our very
eyes and is now heading off
to her dream. A dream every
biker who has ridden in these
runs has helped her to
achieve.
Wherever Stephanie goes,
she leaves in her wake a
crowd of amazed people who
come to love her for her spir-
it, her unwillingness to quit
and her can-do attitude. Her
smile dazzles all those who
come in contact with her and
she has inspired many who
have similar handicaps to
succeed.
One biker was so taken with
Stephanie and her quest for
gold that he painted her motto
on his bike. This way every-
one that ever rides behind him
can see the logo and the mot-
to that has driven Stephanie to
victory. The logo shows a
young girl flying down the
slope and says, Believe in
yourself and Determina-
tion. Stephanies personal
motto, which can be found on
her website and on the bike
paint job is, Its not can or
cant, its do or dont. This
young girl sure does! In
spades.
Stephanie has been working
since she was 9 years old to
become a part of the U.S. Ski
team and win Paralympic
gold. And believe me, I know
how hard she works and trains
all year long to keep this
dream alive. Last year, I did a
story on Stephanie and her
trainer, Ernie Baul from Dan-
kos American Fitness Gym in
Plains Twp. I watched as Ste-
phanie jumped on a BOSU
ball and balanced kettle
weights, then flew across the
gym floor hopping through
ladder rungs. She is as tireless
as she is fearless.
Her online blog tells about
her excitement at receiving
the phone call that notified
her that she was finally part
of the team. It reads: The
U.S. Ski team consists of
three teams A, B, and C. The
A and B teams are athletes
that have points low enough
to be world cup qualified
racers. The C team is the
development team. I am on
the B team. Which means I
will now travel with the best
racers in the country with the
best coaches. I will travel
across the world with them
now. I have been training and
hoping for the last six years
to become a part of this team
to represent the United States
of America in World Cups
and the Paralympics. Con-
gratulations, Steph, you did
it!
Dreams really do come true,
especially if you are willing
to work hard, sacrifice a lot
and never, ever say cant.
This years rain-or-shine
ride takes place Sunday, July
10. Registration begins at 9:30
a.m. at Diamond Manufactur-
ing (243 W. 8th St., Wyom-
ing). The cost is $15 for rid-
ers and $10 for passengers,
which includes a meal ticket
for each. The ride ends at the
Holy Child Fairgrounds (New-
port Street in Nanticoke),
with live music from Cool
Ride and Hidden Drive.
If you dont have a bike,
you can join the fun for $5.
For more information, visit
stephaniejallen.org or call
Bob Wineman at
570.510.5336. W
Stephanie Jallen poses with a supporters bike that
bears her personal motto, Its not can or cant, its do
or dont.
It's all about
do or don't
Stephanie has been
working since she
was 9 years old
to become a part
of the U.S. Ski
team and win
Paralympic gold.
She is as tireless
as she is fearless.
