Im conicted. As a liberal,
it is my duty to profess my

Letter from the editor
L
ike sands through the
hourglass, so are the
days of summer 2012,
which officially kicks off
Wednesday, June 20 with the
Summer Solstice.
So it seems fitting that we
begin the season with our
annual swimsuit issue, which
begins on p. 34 and features
12 local people frolicking in
or around a pool
If youre reading us for
the articles as you very
well should be you surely
wont find that department
lacking either.
Weve got lots of music
coverage about locals Those
Clever Foxes releasing its
first EP (p. 17), the funky-
fresh Portland, Ore.-based
Mean Jeans touching down
in Wilkes-Barre (p. 18), an
interview with G. Love &
Special Sauce, which will
hit Three Kings in Jermyn
(p. 22) and even a review of
the new album from the
first lady of 80s hair metal,
Lita Ford (p. 28).
Once again, RiverFest will
camp out along the Susque-
hanna in Wilkes-Barre this
weekend, and you can find
out whats new this year on
p. 30. If comic books are
your bag, you wont want to
miss the write-up on Scran-
ton Comic Con (p. 35) and
if youre a blogger, check
out the details of the up-
coming NEPA BlogCon (p.
59); its organizers are hold-
ing a launch party for it
Friday night.
And you may have heard,
there have been some chang-
es here at the Weekender,
and were proud to announce
that our own John Popko
has been named the papers
new general manager in the
wake of Rachel A. Pughs
moving on to a new endeav-
or outside the company.
Ive worked with these two
for the better part of a dec-
ade now, and while were
sad to see Rachel (and her
cat stories, of course) go,
we sure did have one hell of
a ride together, so heres to
new beginnings all around!
As always, thanks for
reading, NEPA!

By Rachel A. Pugh
Weekender General Manager
I
n October of 2000, I was a recent
overly confident college graduate
freelancing at a video-production
company and serving up coffee at a lo-
cal coffee shop. My mother read an ad
for a career fair at the Kingston Armory
and told me I was going. I remember
arguing with her thinking there couldnt
possibly be any companies there attrac-
tive enough for me to apply to. I mean,
I had a degree in film and video and a
minor in theatre arts. Surely I would be
discovered in Hunlock Creek, Pa.
Begrudgingly, I attended the fair.
Refusing to network and trolling down
the aisles as though I was walking to
my last meal, I chose one table that
looked somewhat interesting and drop-
ped off my resume. This place didnt
look too bad to work for, and at least I
could come home with one less resume
if Mom asked. Sure, the job was only
part time, but I was confident I could
turn it into a full position in no time,
and for now, I just needed to get some
solid employment on my resume. What
could it hurt?
I was called for an interview and
made an offer to which I responded
with, May I let you know tomorrow?
On my drive back home, I was called
again by this company, offering me a
dollar more an hour if I came on board.
Thinking of this as my first promotion,
I accepted. It was official. I was the
new part-time marketing and promotions
associate for The Times Leader and
Weekender, splitting my duties between
both papers.
Since I now had a job in marketing, I
figured it best to actually learn what
marketing is. My familiarity with the
actual term marketing was limited to
college parties and Penn State football
players telling me they played ball, but
are really here for my marketing ma-
jor. I used the term loosely.
So I did the only thing I knew how to
do ask for forgiveness later. I took
on new print contests, played games at
bars for Weekender Nights Out, jumped
on float committees, asked to write sto-
ries, took a lot of photos and just kind
of rolled with it. Ive always been a
people person so why not just make
myself really sociable and let everybody
know Im a good time?
Not knowing any better, I submerged
myself with new duties, far outside my
job description. Circulation department
needs help passing out newspapers? I
can do that. Weekender needs someone
to take photos of models? I can do that.
The editor is looking for a fashion co-
lumnist? OK, Ill do that. And before I
knew it, I was a full-time employee.
Cool. I can do that.
Over the years, I have taken on mul-
tiple roles at this company. I was pro-
moted through sales positions before
coming on as Weekender General Man-
ager. And not soon after, just like day
one of employment, I took on a dual
role, wearing two hats as Weekender
GM and The Times Leaders Marketing
Director which later became Director of
Community Relations.
Kind of feels full circle. And that
feels like completion. So now it is time
to start a new circle.
It is with bittersweet emotion to for-
mally announce to NEPAs best loyal
readers and best loyal customers that I
have officially resigned from the paper.
It has been a fantastic near-12 year
voyage with experiences that have hum-
bled me yet made me stronger, have
grounded me but kept me aiming for
higher goals, have matured me yet al-
lowed my humor to always win in the
end. I owe my growth as a business
woman to this company, and I remind
myself of that daily.
I owe my expansion of amazing me-
mories to my team whom I love and
will always call my friends. And I owe
my endless amount of gratitude to this
valley who allowed me to work hard for
them, put out a great paper that I re-
spect and have one hell of a good time.
It is time for some reinvention and a
new creative breath of fresh air. What
better person than Johnny Weekender
Popko? His goal has always been to
become general manager of the Week-
ender, which he reminded me of fre-
quently. Its the reason why I never got
too close to any ledges around him.
Hell, hes already changed my comput-
ers wallpaper.
Like a proud momma though, I
couldnt be more excited. I wont wish
him luck, as he doesnt need it. Hes
pure talent which most of you already
know.
So the torch has been passed. Knock
em dead, John.
Thank you NEPA and the Weekender
for some of the greatest moments of my
life. Ill smile fondly every time I get
sweaty recess hair, gloat about my
youth every time I think of the multiple
strip-club employment offerings and
probably convulse violently if I even
smell the scent of Jagermeister.
Out with the old (well, Im not that
old), in with the new.
This has been a great place to grow
up and now its time to turn the page.
Cheers, Weekender. W

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
CHINESE HIGH-TECH
ANSWER TO RED BULL
Chinese media reported that on
May 4, at the Xiaogan Middle
School in Hubei province, high
school students studying for the
all-important national college
entrance exam worked through
the evening while hooked up to
intravenous drips of amino acids
to fight fatigue. A director of the
schools Office of Academic
Affairs reasoned that before the
IVs were hung, weary students
complained of losing too much
time running back and forth to
the schools infirmary for energy
injections. After the media re-
ports, there was a public back-
lash, but less against the notion
that China was placing too much
importance on the exams than
against reports that the govern-
ment was subsidizing the cost of
the injections.
CANT POSSIBLY BE TRUE
-- Desmond Hatchett, 33, was
summoned to court in Knoxville,
Tenn., in May so that a judge
could chastise him for again
failing to make child-support
payments. Official records show
that Hatchett has at least 30 chil-
dren (ages 14 down to toddler)
by at least 11 women. He said at a
2009 court appearance that he
was through siring children
and apparently has taken proper
precautions since then. (In Mil-
waukee, Wis., in April, Sean
Patrick was sentenced to 30 years
in prison for owing more than
$146,000 for 12 children by 10
mothers, and the citys Journal
Sentinel newspaper reported that,
before being locked up, two
convicted pimps, Derrick Avery
and Todd Carter, had fathered,
respectively, 15 kids by seven
women and 16 children with
several mothers.)
-- Chilean artist Sebastian
Errazuriz recently created
Christian popsicles made from
wine that Errazuriz obtained by
trickery after a priest consecrated
it into the blood of Christ. The
popsicles stick is actually a fig-
ure of Jesus on the cross, as sort
of a reward for finishing the
treat. (Also, The Icecreamists
shop in London, England, recent-
ly began offering a popsicle
made with absinthe and holy
water from a spring in Lourdes,
France, which many Catholics
revere for its healing powers. The
Vice Lolly sells for the equiv-
alent of about $29.)
-- The official class photo of
Eileen Diazs second-grade kids
at Sawgrass Elementary School
in Sunrise, Fla., was distributed
this spring with the face of the
front-and-center child replaced
by a dark-on-white smiley face.
Apparently there was miscom-
munication between the school
and the photographer about redo-
ing the photo without the child,
whose parents had not given
permission for the shot. (Another
child without parental autho-
rization was easily edited out of
the photo, but the front-and-
center student could not be.)
UNCLEAR ON
THE CONCEPT
-- In April, the Federal Com-
munications Commission an-
nounced that it was fining Goo-
gle for deliberately impeding the
agencys investigation into the
companys collection of wireless
data by its roaming Street View
vehicles and that the agency had
decided, based on Googles abil-
ity to pay, that it needed to dou-
ble its staff-proposed fine in
order to deter future miscon-
duct. Hence, it raised Googles
fine from $12,000 to $25,000.
(As pointed out by ProPubli-
ca.org, during the previous quar-
ter year, Google made profits of
$2.89 billion, or $25,000 every
68 seconds.)
-- District of Columbia Coun-
cilman Marion Barry initially
was scorned in May for criticiz-
ing the influx of Asian shop-
keepers into the ward that he
represents. They got to go. Ill
say that right now. Later, after
re-thinking the issue, Barry an-
nounced that his ward should be
the model of diversity, and
issued an apology to Asian-
Americans. But, he lamented,
America has always been tough
on immigrants. The Irish caught
hell, the Jews caught hell, the
Polacks caught hell. (The pre-
ferred terms are Polish or
Poles.)
RECURRING THEMES
The most recently reported
morbidly obese person who
required that her home be partial-
ly torn apart by firefighters so
that she could be lifted out to be
taken to a hospital was teenager
Georgia Davis in Merthyr Tydfil,
Wales. Davis, 19, weighs nearly
800 pounds, and 40 people were
involved in extricating her in
May from her upstairs bedroom,
via scaffolding. (Several years
ago, Davis enrolled in a weight-
loss camp in the U.S. and got
down to about 250 pounds, but
she quickly gained it back.)
NO LONGER WEIRD
A time-honored defense used
by many older men when
charged with having sex with
underage girls is now so common
that it must be retired from circu-
lation. In February in Bridgeport,
Conn., Norberto Millet, 60, de-
nied raping the 9-year-old girl,
accusing her of actually attacking
him and said he had to fight
her off. In fact, Millet told police,
a lot of girls 8 to 10 years old try
to have sex with him. And in
Winnipeg, Manitoba, in May,
Lyle Moodie, 47 at the time, said
much the same about his 16-year-
old accuser. She just suddenly
grabbed me by the pajama bot-
toms. I pulled back and said, No,
stop. I didnt know what to do.

In April, police in Newtown Twp., Pa.,
searched (unsuccessfully, it turns out) for
a skinny black male, between ages 35
and 45, wearing a black tracksuit. He had
indecently exposed himself at a place
of business the offices of the Bucks
County Association for the Blind (although,
obviously, at least one sighted person
reported his description).

nlike most groups, the
members of Scranton-
based band Those Clev-
er Foxes Nick Blockus,
Sean Flynn, Doug Griffiths
and Derek McDaniels cant
individually be labeled as the
guitarist, the bassist, the
drummer or the singer.
Instead, they each do a little
of everything, switching in-
struments between songs.
Turn your back during one
of their concerts, and you may
make the mistake of thinking
youre watching an entirely
different band when you turn
toward the stage again. Keep
listening, though, and you
wont be fooled. Those Clever
Foxes signature style, de-
scribed on the bands Facebook
page as what it would sound
like if Brand New made
dance music, has already
earned the group a strong
following among area audi-
ences.
Weve had a lot of shows
even though were a pretty
young band, McDaniels re-
marked. Although the group
has only been playing since
last fall, he said theyve man-
aged to average at least one
show almost every week.
People know the lyrics, they
know the songs. Its fun music,
really up-tempo type stuff you
can move to, McDaniels con-
tinued, comparing the bands
sound to the more downbeat
music he and Flynn play to-
gether with their other group,
Echo Whiskey Charlie.
We always want people to
have fun at our shows, never
just standing there staring at
their feet.
It is that bright, upbeat
sound that Those Clever Foxes
has tried to capture on Four
Bedrooms, its first EP. To
kick off the release, the band
will play two shows on Sat-
urday, June 23.
At 8 p.m., itll play for an
all-ages crowd at New Visions
Studio and Gallery in Scranton
supported by Lesser Animals
and Down to Six. At 9:30
p.m., Those Clever Foxes will
perform a 21+ after-party show
at The Keys, also in Scranton,
with supporting acts Days in
Transit, Blinded Passenger and
Red Blue Green.
As always, the band prom-
ises to be in full instrument-
switching effect.
I think it stemmed from the
fact that we all wanted to play
guitar, Griffiths confessed
with a chuckle when asked
about the origin of the groups
amorphous distribution of in-
strumentation.
That seemingly random,
freewheeling approach has
since yielded positive results
and allows the band members
to utilize one anothers
strengths to their fullest poten-
tial. When working on new
material, for instance, Flynn
pointed out they often write
specific parts for specific play-
ers.
There is a method to our
madness, Flynn shared.
As for the material included
on Four Bedrooms, the EP
contains, appropriately, four
songs a fifth will be avail-
able as a free download after
its release with every band
member claiming a primary
writing credit on one album-
track each. Ultimately, though,
the musicians feel the final
product is exceptionally collab-
orative, the result of disparate
musical perspectives coalescing
with singular purpose.
We all have very eclectic
tastes. I might have a direction
in my mind and then Sean
will play something different
on the bass, or Derek will
come up with a cool drum
part, or Nick will do a sick
guitar solo all of a sudden. We
all have such different outlooks
that they meld together, and
the song will become some-
thing else, Griffiths explained.
Even if Im sitting in my
bedroom playing acoustic gui-
tar, and I think I have a cool
idea for a song and I bring it
in, it never ends up the way I
expect it to. W

hen Mean Jeans was
starting out five years
ago, there really was
only one name the outfit found-
ed by Jeans Wilder and Billy
Jeans could call itself.
I was living in New York,
and my dad called me on the
phone, living in the D.C. area,
and he said, Do the words
mean jean mean anything to
you? Billy Jeans said during a
recent phone call with the Week-
ender from Portland, Ore. I said,
No, and he said, Somebody
spray painted it on my house,
and I know its your fault.
Jeans had to do some recogni-
zance work and found out that
Junior Jeans (aka Freak Daniels,
a friend and the bands now-
current bass player) was dating a
girl named Jean.
His ex-girlfriend went on a
rampage and was spray painting
Mean Jean around town. I felt
really bad because (my dad) was
trying to get the spray paint off
his house, and he couldnt even
do it it still says Mean Jean
on my parents house a little bit,
Jeans said. Anyway, once that
had all come full circle, we are
all like, Well, if we named our
band Mean Jeans, our names
already around town, and were
already one step ahead of the
game.
Following that, Jeans and
Wilder moved from Washington,
D.C. to Portland, eventually
added Daniels and set off on a
path that brings the outfit to
Bones Bar in Wilkes-Barre Twp.
Thursday, June 21.
Mean Jeans released On
Mars in April, and Jeans found
the process different than when
the group recorded Are You
Serious in 2009.
We didnt know how to play
(the songs), he said. I hadnt
really shown a lot of them to the
rest of the band, which must
have been really frustrating to
the guy who was recording us.
We dont really have our shit
together, but thats our style
we just make up the rules as we
go along.
The fun album is both punky
and poppy; there are some goo-
fy backing vocals, xylophone
and sax and some unexpected
elements.
It would be like, Hey, we
just did this guitar solo that
doesnt really sound that cool,
how about you gargle a beer
during the entire thing, and Ill
play a slide whistle? And we
did that on Come Toobin and
it sounds better that way, Jeans
explained.
Mean Jeans uses everything
from empty Jagermeister bottles
and Kraft Macaroni & Cheese
boxes as percussion, and Jeans
confessed there are two specific
reasons why they use the latter,
which can also be heard on
Come Toobin.
Once you reach a certain
hour of recording a song, youre
pretty much over it, particularly
if your attention span is as short
as all of ours if you inject, like,
How about you inject this box
of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese we
havent gotten around to cooking
yet as a shaker?
And the other reason?
Im just hoping that, one way
or the other, someone from Kraft
Mac & Cheese will be calling
my cell phone going, You know,
that one song where you use the
Kraft box is really good, and we
really appreciate that, and wed
like to give you a lifetime sup-
ply, Jeans replied. Just the
concept of getting free mac and
cheese just because were play-
ing stupid rock n roll would be
something I would be very
pleased with myself about
and be able to tell my mom Im
getting free macaroni and
cheese.
Mean Jeans will play some of
On Mars live, but hasnt given
much thought to bringing some
of its sundry percussion to the
stage.
We talked about trying to
find someone who could play
saxophone and just hop on stage
for just one saxophone solo, but
that would also be killer if they
had the mac and cheese box on
there, Jeans mused. Thats
probably a lot easier than playing
the sax, so thats a good idea.
Im going to write that down,
thank you.
Consider this a suggestion,

ost music lovers would
associate singing the
blues with heartache
or dealing with the tough
times in life. But when a mu-
sical trio takes the blues and
combines them with a little
hip-hop, they create a sound
thatll instead leave you feeling
funky for sure.
Philadelphias G. Love &
Special Sauce has been on the
music scene since the early
90s and has established itself
as an alternative band with a
laidback bluesy rhythm and
classic hip-hop-inspired beats.
We call the music we play
the hip-hop blues, explained
lead vocalist G. Love. The
musical groove is rooted in the
delta blues of Lightnin Hop-
kins and Bukka White, as well
as hip-hop like Cypress Hill
and the Beastie Boys.
With more than a dozen
albums under its belt, G. Love
& Special Sauce released Fix-
in to Die in 2011, and the
album reflects the groups long
musical past as well as its
future.
Fixin to Die was all
about going back to the roots
of the delta blues and folk
music, Love said. The music
thats the backbone of what we
do. This is a record I was
trying to make for 20 years. In
fact, some of the tunes are 20
years old and have stood the
test of time.
The album was produced by
Scott and Seth Avett of The
Avett Brothers.
They really helped me to
achieve what I think is one of
my finest efforts in the studio.
Its a very honest record, very
heartfelt.
The trios passion for music
cant be contained when it
takes the stage, and it promises
to deliver when it makes a
stop at Three Kings in Jermyn
on Tuesday, June 26.
We are going to bring the
party, Love emphasized.
Right now, we are touring as
a trio its upright bass,
drums, guitar and harp. Its a
lean mean, funking machine.
We are playing hits off all the
records and delving into plenty
of blues. The show grooves
and bumps, and we give it
everything we got.
Being on stage is like home
for Love, a place where he is
able to share the music he
enjoys creating. It is where the
connection with fans is estab-
lished, and its where he adores
being the most.
We love to play music any
time, any place, everywhere.
Theres nothing like being able
to play music and make people
feel happy, he stated. That is
what its all about playing
great music for the peeps.
Besides the typical rewards
of being a musician, Love
goes deeper with what he be-
lieves is the true prize in be-
ing able to do what he loves
each and every day.
I think its got to be that
sense of euphoria that music
can bring. That feeling of in-
spiration you get when its on.
You get those chills, and you
feel so alive, he explained.
When you look out and see
the smiles on those faces, and
you know theyre feeling the
music the same way you are,
thats the most beautiful thing
in the world. W

Lita Fords early work is no
doubt collecting dust in the
form of cassette tapes on
shelves of long-abandoned
adolescent bedrooms. While
there are probably diehard fans
whove been waiting with bat-
ed breath for something new
from the 80s-rock queen since
her 2009 flop, Wicked Won-
derland, the rest of us have
continued to associate her with
Kiss Me Deadly, The Run-
aways and maybe Aqua Net.
But dont sell the guitarist
short just yet. Because thats
what Ford is a guitar play-
er and she proves it with
her newest album, Living
Like a Runaway.
Parts of the record come off
as paltry, like in the breathy
speaking sequence of the oth-
erwise heartfelt Mother or in
the Nikki Sixx-penned lyrics
of A Song To Slit Your
Wrists By. But when Ford
declares, Never got the cover
of guitar magazines/ and I
play guitar like no chick theyd
ever seen on the girl-power
anthem Relentless, shes
right.
The consistently sharp riff of
Devil In My Head makes it
one of the albums best tracks
along with album opener
Branded, which kicks off
Living Like a Runaway with
a stellar, gritty guitar solo.
Ford has been quoted as say-
ing that the album should be
listened to as a whole, not
song by song, and, again, shes
correct.
When listened to straight
through, the record is like a
musical time capsule from
Fords heyday. Its a testament
to her determination as a
woman in a male-dominated
industry and genre, and while
it isnt the album of the year,
its a tight, nostalgic nod to
Fords identity. And most of
the tracks have an unshakable
hook that lingers regardless of
the legitimacy of the lyrics.
With Rock of Ages hitting
theaters and a new album out
from Neneh Cherry of Buffa-
lo Stance fame, it seems
fitting that Lita Ford would
step back into her studded
stiletto boots. Outrageous
things come in threes, right?

On his first four albums, Josh Turner
proved to be more than just a contender.
He was a resolute champion of traditional
country with occasional knockout power
while winning by decision on the com-
mercial side: Four No. 1 hits and more
than 5 million albums sold.
With Punching Bag, Turner continues
to fight the good fight (the title song is
actually a fast, lively number thats more
defiant than defeatist). You wont find any
schmaltzy power ballads or songs about
getting it on in a truck not that the
South Carolina native doesnt have a
lighter and fun side.
The love songs are delivered with Turn-
ers usual warmth and in the case of
Deeper Than My Love, an irresistibly
swampy groove. And faith comes to the
fore again with the stirring, bluegrass-
flavored gospel of For the Love of God
(with Ricky Skaggs).
With his distinctive baritone, however,
Turner is most likely to flash that knock-
out power on ballads. With two standouts
here Cold Shoulder and Pallbearer
(the latter with Iris DeMent and Marty
Stuart) thats just what he does.

Turner keeps
throwing
punches
With Punching Bag,
Turner continues to fight
the good fight.
If someone hasnt listened to Orlandos
Broadway before, the opening track from
the bands latest release, Gentlemens
Brawl, might be cause for a little confu-
sion.
It leads off with a dark, heavy riff that
sounds like it could be froma Slipknot
album, but then changes gears quickly to a
poppy, hook-laden punk sound that could
only come froma band hailing froman
area that has an abundance of warmth and
sunshine.
While most bands wouldnt think of
trying to use two completely unrelated
styles like that together, Broadway has
pulled it off quite well on this album.
Tracks like Vagrant Stories and Faster,
Faster are great examples of this, where
the guitars and rhythmsection play with a
fist-pumping and headbanging thunder,
over laden with catchy, sing-along chorus-
es dripping with teen angst and rebellion.
Broadways music is definitely youthful,
and every so often, a bit immature, with
tracks like ImNot a Rockstar and Ive
Got the Itis sounding almost like some-
thing one would write with ones high
school garage band. However, the flipside
of that is that the band has the kind of
honesty that fewothers possess, never
trying to be anything other than as ad-
vertised.
In the end, Gentlemens Brawl is an
albumthat is a lot of fun to listen to, and
while it probably doesnt have the kind of
staying power that most bands would like,
its memorable enough to be more than just
a flash-in-the-pan. Broadways energy and
spirit should be more than adequate to
keep the band plugging along and putting
out more music that will appeal to the
17-year-old in all of us for quite some time.

T
he imagination of Edgar
Allan Poe is a dark place
to dwell. Full of terror
and tragedy, one imagines a
chilly, crow-black landscape of
crumbling tombs, withered
trees and starless skies.
Pulling some of the cele-
brated authors most-famous
creations out of the shadows
and into the light, Harrisburgs
Gamut Theatre Group will
perform Poe: Much of Mad-
ness in Tunkhannocks La-
zyBrook Park on Saturday,
June 23, introducing a little
doom and gloom to what could
be a bright summer day. The
play is free, open to the public
and family friendly (though
recommended for ages 12 and
up).
Ive always loved Poe, since
discovering him in early mid-
dle school, David Ramon
Zayas said. Really, what start-
ed me into theatrical perform-
ance was the opportunity to
perform Edgar Allan Poe sto-
ries that Id fallen in love with
reading. Its been with me my
whole life.
Zayas wrote, directs and acts
in the production, which is
performed in a minimalist style
with five actors playing mul-
tiple roles, very little scenery
or props and wardrobes that
are stark in their simplicity.
The focus is on the perform-
ances of the actors and the
dark dynamism of Poes lan-
guage.
Presented as an anthology,
Poe: Much of Madness
adapts six of the authors semi-
nal works, including The
Raven, The Tell-Tale Heart,
The Cask of Amontillado,
Annabel Lee and The
Masque of the Red Death,
with the poem The Conqueror
Worm serving as a framing
device.
I wanted to pick stories and
poems that had sort of an arc
between them where you could
see the common threads and
themes, Zayas said. The
Conqueror Worm helps to do
that. It equates life to this play
being performed for angels,
and the idea is that our strug-
gles in life dont matter as
much as we think we do.
Part of a long-running col-
laboration between the Gamut
Theatre Group and Tunkhan-
nocks Dietrich Theater, Poe:
Much of Madness marks the
fifth time the two organiza-
tions have teamed up to bring
literary theater to the area. It
also marks the first time the
featured production isnt the
work of William Shakespeare.
I was very enthusiastic
about the change, Bill Chapla
said. Poe is one of those writ-
ers that everyone can relate to.
He taps into our collective
unconscious, the dark side of
it. Everyone has a dark side.
Poe addresses that and allows
us to experience that vicari-
ously so we dont have to ad-
dress it our real life. He also
does it so fluently, with such a
strong literary style, that it
never leaves you.
Chapla, a former Bishop
OHara High School teacher
and Penn State adjunct profes-
sor, has been a part of the
outdoor summer theater series
from the beginning, providing
discussions of the productions
source materials prior to their
performance each year. Chap-
las participation, along with a
post-performance, open-floor
question-and-answer session
with the actors, provides an
educational component to the
event.
Erica Rogler, the Dietrichs
cultural programming director,
said that the idea behind events
such as this has always been to
give families an opportunity to
experience live theater in a
familiar setting, while also
introducing younger audience
members to classic literature.
Weve seen the turnout for
these presentations grow year
after year and we hope to con-
tinue seeing it grow, Rogler
said. In the beginning, we
were interested in exposing the
community to these things.
Now, the community has de-
veloped an appetite for it. They
expect great theater and litera-
ry discussions in Tunkhannock.
Weve all come a long way. W

T
he Riverfront Parks Com-
mittee is about to awaken
the dragon, and its doing it
in your back yard. Friday, June 22
kicks off this years weekend-long
RiverFest in Wilkes-Barre and
features dragon boat races. Held at
the Wilkes-Barre River Common
and Nesbitt Park, organizers prom-
ise a variety of activities at this
years event.
Vinnie Cotrone, president of
Riverfront Parks Committee, has
been with the committee since its
inception. He started as an advisor
to the mayor and has been involved
with its various projects, including
the development of Kirby Park.
The 46-year-old said RiverFest
originally started out as a very
small environmental education
event. Over the years, Cotrone said,
more and more activities and ven-
dors were added, and the event
continues to grow.
June is Rivers Month, and this
festival was developed to celebrate
the river, the Penn State teacher
told the Weekender. Seated with
fellow committee member John
Maday at a table in the Barnes &
Noble Wilkes-Kings on Public
Square in Wilkes-Barre, Cotrone
added, Our goal has always been
to bring attention to the river and
encourage recreational use of it.
Maday, a past president of the
committee, works with the Cham-
ber of Commerce. He shared that
RiverFest began almost two dec-
ades ago in Nesbitt Park with a
couple of tables and some flyers.
We got to a point where we
decided to grow, and we asked,
What do we do now? and the
answer was to focus on families
and children, he shared.
In 1999, RiverFest began in-
corporating boats, and this years
event will offer multiple trip oppor-
tunities. The cost of a boat trip
includes a shuttle from the end to
the beginning of the race, tour
guides and a T-shirt. Attendees are
also welcome to bring their own
boats, as long as they register them.
The boats are a large part of
RiverFest but, pulling from the
Riverfront Parks Committees roots,
there will also be multiple educa-
tional activities, including guided
nature hikes and conservation
exhibits. Maday explained that all
the activities at RiverFest are in-
tended to bring people to the river.
We educate. We teach. To do
that, you have to get someone into
your classroom, and our classroom
is the parks, he explained.
Maday and Cotrone lamented
that this is largely a community
event. They said Philip Rodzon and
students from the Wilkes-Barre
Area Career & Technical Center
are responsible for building the
docks that the boats at RiverFest
will be tethered to.
Cotrone said this is only one
example of the help the committee
receives from the community.
Maday agreed, adding, We could
not possibly do this without all of
the volunteers and sponsors. They
are both equally important to what
we do, and without them, we
wouldnt be doing this at all.
ENTERTHE DRAGONS
L
ast year marked the begin-
ning of a new venture for the
RiverFest committee with
the addition of dragon boat races.
Maday first discovered dragon boat
racing three years ago at an event
outside of NEPA and began in-
vestigating how to bring the mag-
nificent 20-person boats to the
area.
His research led him to 22 Drag-
ons, an organization out of Quebec,
who not only supply the dragon
boats but the trainers and equip-
ment as well. Maday talks excitedly
about the boats, referring to their
coming to NEPA as a gift to the
community. He said the decision
just seemed to make sense.
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
have dragon boat racing on their
rivers. Why not Wilkes-Barre? We
have a river, he said.
The dragon boats will take to the
Susquehanna Sunday at 10 a.m.,
and their teams will race to the
finish line as onlookers watch from
the River Common.
Of every fundraiser you have
ever attended, how many actually
stand out enough to remember?
They all follow the same model,
but you get in a dragon boat, and
thats something youll never for-
get. Maday said.
Kicking off on Friday with the
Awaken the Dragon ceremony,
attendees can enjoy free entertain-
ment. Three Imaginary Boys,
Tribes and George Wesley will
perform riverside at the Wilkes-
Barre River Common that night.
The show continues Saturday with
performances by Without Walls
Dance Company and Flash Back.
Parents are encouraged to come
take advantage of the numerous
family activities, including fishing,
pony rides, painting of a communi-
ty mural and a kids tree climb,
which in the past has been known
to hoist a few adults up the tree, as
well.
Although there will be many of
the same activities as last year, the
committee will debut some new
additions at this RiverFest. A car
show on the River Common Sat-
urday evening is a first and will
feature a Chevy Volt to help tie in
the environmental aspect of the
event.
Its a community event, and
what better symbolizes that than
the river? Everything comes togeth-
er to flow into that one river. It
touches everyone and hopefully,
that is what this event will do,
Maday said, adding, Were not the
only one, but were the best. W

Danielle
Gliniecki,
Pittston Twp
D
anielle Gliniecki is a woman on the go
literally. Adance instructor, tness
instructor and nurse, Danielle is hard to
keep up with. But her busy schedule doesnt
stop her from adding even more to the bill.
Always challenging herself, Danielle, 29, will
be participating in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day 60-mile
walk and the Saturday, June 16 Warrior Dash in Long
Pond, which benets the St. Judes Childrens Research
Hospital.
I am competing with my family and my friend and
tness partner, Jessica Sands, Danielle shares. My
goal is to have fun and to cross the nish line without
injury. Wish me luck!
Hobbies: Working out and dancing and when Im
done with that, sleeping!
Current projects/upcoming events youre
part of: I am organizing a Fitness Fest fundraiser on
Saturday, June 23 at Backcourt Hoops at the Riverfront
Sports Complex in Scranton. During this event, local
group tness instructors will be demonstrating Zumba,
hip-hop, Z-Box, kickboxing, Piloxing, Powerstrike,
pilates and yoga. My goal is to prove that tness can
be fun and that its for all ages and no experience is
necessary! My family is participating in the Susan G.
Komen 3-Day for breast cancer in Philadelphia Oct.
5-7. We need to raise $9,200, and the proceeds from
this fundraiser will help us reach our goal!
What did you want to be when you grew
up? Aprofessional ballerina, I think? Luckily with
my parents direction and guidance, I realized that
wasnt going to be practical. I am very happy I chose
to become a nurse. I have a passion for helping and
caring for others. Though nursing can be a challenge
at times, its the greatest feeling knowing you have
made a difference in someones life. Nursing is a very
rewarding and fullling profession for me. Occasionally
I do dance as Im taking care of patients, though!
Something most people dont know about
you: Though I have an outgoing and energetic
personality, I struggle with self-condence and public
speaking. I am most condent performing dance or
instructing class. My students give me the inspiration
and motivation to continue doing what I do!
What you like to do in your spare time: I like
to spend time with my amazing husband, family, friends
and my two cats Toby and Max....

call it geeky, call it weird. But year
after year, issue after issue, theystill
drawthe loyal andthe curious toa
plethora of conventions andexpos
aroundthe world.
Andfor those nerds, geeks and
weirdoes here inNEPAlookingfor
a local fixtosatisfytheir comic-
bookcravings, the ScrantonComic
BookConventionreturns Sunday,
June 24at the RadissonLackawan-
na StationHotel. The convention
features not onlyvarious names
fromthe industry, includingartists,
creators andwriters, but alsoa
selectionof vendors.
JosephFigured, promoter of the
conventionandowner of Americas
Most WantedCollectibles inWil-
liamsport, is excitedtoagainhost
the conventioninScranton.
I like Scrantona lot, he said.
Its where I grewup. This evolved
fromjust a hobbyintoa business
intowantingtopromote the hobby.
I thinktoput ona successful show
here andtosee people interestedin
meetingthe creators that write and
drawthe books that theylike toread
is just a reallyneat thingtodo.
Figured, whohas beenholding
the conventionfor about 10years
now, saidthat while the larger
conventions across the country
drawa lot of people withthe big
names, especiallywithhowthe
movie industryhas capitalizedon
comics inrecent years, he prefers to
keephis showmore focusedonthe
comic books themselves andthe
people directlyinvolvedintheir
creation.
The bigger cons sort of sensa-
tionalize themmore, he said.
Theyare not somuchfocusedon
the comic bookindustry. They
dont reallygobacktothe roots
theystartedwiththe comic-
bookcreators, the writers andthe
artists whichreallymade them
the showtheyare today. Theyre
gettingawayfromwhat theyreally
startedout as.
Keepingtrue tothese roots,
Figuredhas brought together such
industrynames as DarrenAuck
(illustrator Rockos ModernLife,
Hulkvs. Thing), JarrodDodson
(writer/creator Terrorklowns) and
NathanRichardson(writer/creator
of Perditions Edge). Figured
likes toincorporate independent
creators alongwiththe more well-
knownones as theyare the creators
of tomorrow, the Neil Gaimans
andMatt Fractions of the future,
anda great inspirationtohis deci-
siontohost his ownconvention.
Alongwiththe collectionof
creators onsite tomeet withvis-
itors, signautographs and, of
course, draw, there will be a variety
of vendors of various geekygood-
ies, includingthe tastytreats with
a comic twist fromPhantastic
Evangers andcomic-themedjew-
elrymade byPaper Heroes, which
are bothmade byCrystal Phanand
EvanPerks.
Withsomanycomic-bookbased
movies slatedthis year andnot just
those focusingonsuperheroes,
Figuredhopes that the drawof the
industrywill bringpeople back
againthis year, not just tosupport
the convention, but the legacyof the
comic bookitself.
If youreallywant tomeet the

novel approach
M
ost of whats written
about the White
House gardens says
little about vegetables and
fruit. Instead, we read about
flowers and trees, which is
interesting, but not especial-
ly satisfying for gardeners
enamored with edibles.
That is but one of many
reasons to read Michelle
Obamas book, American
Grown: The Story of the
White House Kitchen Garden
and Gardens Across Amer-
ica. Some may think this
project was cooked up by
political strategists. Maybe,
but the book is actually de-
cently written and fun to
read even if, like me,
youre a little weary of the
sermons about fresh and
local.
What the heck. Its great
that the first lady chose an
organic vegetable garden as
a project to complement her
anti-obesity efforts.
Planted in 2009, the 1,100-
square-foot, all-season gar-
den on the South Lawn has
already produced
about 3,000 pounds
of produce for formal
lunches and dinners
and the Obama fam-
ilys own meals.
About one-third of
everything grown is
donated to a soup
kitchen serving the
homeless. These are
all the right mess-
ages.
As the garden and
its mission have
grown, so has Oba-
mas knowledge and
perspective. She start-
ed down this garden
path with virtually no expe-
rience, only a desire to start
a national conversation about
the food we eat, the lives
we lead, and how all of that
affects our children.
The book includes 16 sea-
sonal recipes from White
House chefs, plus historical
photos, many pictures of
Obama and schoolchildren
planting and harvesting and
even a few of the first dog,
Bo. There are also athletes
talking about healthy diet
how refreshing for so-called
role models to do this
and sensible tips, such as
this one from executive chef
Cris Comerford: Dessert is
not necessary every day.
Obama also highlights
public and community gar-
dens around the country,
including the Camden Chil-
drens Garden, an early lead-
er in this pardon the
expression worthwhile
campaign. W

movie review
Rock of Ages bombards you

with soulless 1980s rock n
roll covers and passes it off as
an inspired act of entertainment.
Instead of mocking the decades
pop-culture stupidity, director
Adam Shankman revels in it. We
laugh at the musical in the same
way we would at someone who
insists Jon Bon Jovi is better than
Elvis Costello. Then we shuffle to
the exits, heads hung low.
I doubt the same thing happens
at the popular stage show, the
movies source material. The fun
if one must call it that takes
place in 1987. Aspiring singer
Sherrie (Julianne Hough) takes a
bus from Oklahoma to Los An-
geles to fulfill her starry-eyed
dreams. Everyone is rooting for
her: The bus driver accompanies
her on Sister Christian, the
surprisingly fit L.A. streetwalkers
lend their voices to Just Like
Paradise. Even when her suitcase
is stolen, opportunities abound.
She meets and falls in love with
Drew (Diego Boneta), a shaggy-
haired rocker hopeful who gets
Sherrie a job at the storied Bour-
bon Room. Resting its fortune on
Hough and Boneta, two charisma-
free pop tarts, is one of many
painful mistakes the movie makes.
Young love isnt the only occur-
rence at the raucous but vomit-
free Bourbon Room. Its the target
of the mayors holier-than-thou
wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones), who
believes its closing will clean the
streets. Its where perpetually
blotto rock superstar Stacee Jaxx
(Tom Cruise) will take his next
step as an artist. And its home to
Dennis (Alec Baldwin) and Lon-
ny (Russell Brand), who have to
settle the venues sizable, life-
threatening debts.
The action is set to singing, lots
and lots of singing. Now, I love
musicals, but when the songs
dominate the movie, obliterating
character development and mak-
ing us wonder why there are two
screenwriting credits, it becomes
ponderous. When the songs are
massaged to the point that every
singer even Mary J. Blige, for
Gods sake sounds like an
amusement-park robot, deafness
sounds promising.
Ironically, the technological
scrubbing of so many 1980s hits
(and Extremes 1991 More than
Words) 23, by my count
only reinforces the notion that the
decade was shallow and unin-
spired. Why any production
would adopt that eras rock hits as
its emotional content stuns me. I
was there. The music, for the most
part, was awful. It was overpro-
duced, stupidly guitar-heavy (this
was the age of Stevie Ray Vaugh-
an, mind you), and lyrically inept.
Today, this music is good for
sports rallies or commercials for
floor cleaners. Not for a two-hour
musical. Especially when Costel-
lo, Bruce Springsteen, The Police
and Tom Petty and the Heart-
breakers never show up, but For-
eigner does. Three times.
Cruise somehow delivers a
delightfully drunken, spaced-out
performance, surviving the bar-
rage of songs to actually create a
character. Everyone else is either a
flesh-and-blood jukebox or, more
frequently, an object of pity. A
monkey punches Paul Giamatti in
the face. Poor Malin Akerman,
stripped down to her underpants,
has Cruise lip synch into her ass.
Comedy pro Baldwin jokes about
how taxes are so un-rock n
roll and makes out with a domes-
ticated Brand.
Rock of Ages so embodies
the flaccid, corporate definition of
rock n roll, while celebrating
cheap 1980s nostalgia, that Im
shocked Ticketmaster didnt spon-
sor this slickly packaged misery.

Gale-force wind in the willows
Artist Bonnie Gale will present The Potential of Living Willow
Structures in the Landscape Wednesday, June 20 at 7 p.m. at
the Dietrich Theater (60 E. Tioga St., Tunkhannock). The il-
lustrated lecture and PowerPoint presentation will show the
basic concepts of building living structures, Gales development
with this work and the potential for commercial applications.
Gale uses living willow to construct living art. She pushes wil-
low rods into the ground and weaves them into structures that
have included domes, arches, arbors, tunnels, fences and even
rooms and small buildings. The rods then grow and produce a
live, green shape.
Admission to the presentation is free, and Gale will also be at
the Tumble-Down Tunnel in Tunkhannocks Riverside Park at 3
p.m. on June 20 to explain and demonstrate the process of cre-
ating a living willow structure. For more info, call 570.996.1500
or visit bonniegale.com.

the
By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender
T
he tributes to 18
year-old Gary Lu-
kasiewicz continue
to pour in from across the
country, as Boston Red
Sox star David Ortiz
mailed in an autographed
photograph signed to the
fallen Riverside High
School senior.
Lukasiewicz passed
away after a second battle
with cancer on May 19.
The Taylor residents strug-
gle inspired his classmates
at RHS to embark on a
global media campaign to
raise awareness for Gary
and his fight against the
disease. Celebrities and
athletes joined in with students
and local residents to tweet
#keepfightinggary. The
phrase made millions of impres-
sions on Twitter timelines as the
Kardashians, Jason Derulo and
Kendra Wilkinson and more
sent their support.
Ortiz was one of the more
high-profile athletes to chime in,
tweeting, #keepfightinggary for
a huge BoSox fan & amazing
inspiration battling cancer in
hospice care weeks from gradua-
tion. God bless u. Love 34.
Friends of Lukasiewicz note that
he was a big Red Sox fan.
The BoSox slugger signed the
photo, Keep Fighting Gary,
David Ortiz. The autograph
arrived in NEPA shortly after
Gary passed. Riverside High
School received the photo and
passed it along to Garys parents.
Lukasiewicz has been memo-
rialized locally as well. GoLack-
awanna, a sister paper of the
Weekender, reported that during
a recent board meeting, the Riv-
erside School Board approved
the acceptance of tree donated by
the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Jr.
Penguins in honor of their for-
mer teammate. Earlier this
month, the state House of Repre-
sentatives passed a resolution
that named June 2012 Keep
Fighting Gary Month in the
Keystone State.
FUN. ROCKS
TERMINAL 5
fun. front man Nate Ruess
placed one condition on the
sold-out crowd Saturday night
inside New Yorks Terminal 5.
Dont tell Arizona, but it feels
good to call New York a home-
town show, Ruess said, eliciting
one of the nights many deaf-
ening screams from the audience.
What do they say; you have to
live in New York for five years
before you can call yourself a
New Yorker?
Performing the first of two
consecutive sold-out shows at the
venue, you wouldve thought by
the crowds reaction that the band
grew up in the Empire State.
Surrounded by fans, friends and
family alike, fun. powered
through a set that lasted just over
an hour and 15 minutes and in-
cluded a healthy mix of both
2009s Aim and Ignite and
2012s Some Nights. The latter
produced fun.s global anthem,
We Are Young, which, natural-
ly, was the highlight of the eve-
ning.
Ruess told me after the show
fun. already has the third single
from Some Nights set, and
keyboardist Andrew Dost joked
that there is no chance my favor-
ite track, the seven minute-long
Stars, will be released as a
single for obvious length reasons,
although I did unsuccessfully
argue that an edit could be made.

What started out as an ob-
session, so to speak, has now
turned into a business venture
as Primo Hoagies (33 B West
Side Mall Shopping Center,
Edwardsville) opened its doors
last week.
My husband, Dave, would
do a lot of business in the
Lehigh Valley area, and he
would stop into Primo often,
so he became obsessed, co-
owner Courtney Paden told
Dish after Primos lunch rush
on Friday. We used to stop on
our way to Phillies games and
take them to the game.
The couple, who co-owns the
shop with Daves mother, Nan-
cy Paden, have been working
on getting a franchise location
for about a year and a half and
pitched locations in Wilkes-
Barre, Dallas and the Edwards-
ville spot it now calls home.
We looked in a bunch of
different areas, Courtney Pa-
den explained. We had to
come around lunchtime, and
the vice president of the com-
pany came up, and this was
the busiest lunchtime area.
Originally established in
South Philadelphia, Primo Hoa-
gies has expanded to 80 loca-
tions in Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Virginia, and the
Edwardsville shop is the north-
ern-most locale. The restaurant
seats 44 people and employs
roughly 15.
The smell of fresh-baked
bread enticingly wafts through-
out the restaurant, and the
menu is huge and features
Thumanns meats, a company
that has been around since
1949. Theres a plethora of
sandwich combinations, but the
ones that really jumped out to
me are the New Yorker (hot
sopressata topped with roasted
red peppers), the Diablos
section with its spicy fare and
the meatless delights, partic-
ularly Nonnas veggie (eggplant,
sharp provolone and broccoli
rabe topped with roasted red
peppers).
We bake bread throughout
the day, its fresh, Paden said,
adding that the choices are
unseeded or wheat rolls, low-
carb or whole wheat wraps or
the breadless hoagie in a
bowl. You can also get your
bread scooped to make it lower
carb.
Because Primo was originally
established as a corner deli,
customers can also purchase
the Thumanns meats and
cheeses by the pound, as well
as its salads. It also offers
hoagie trays in five sizes and
small and large sampler plat-
ters.
After nearly a week in busi-
ness, Paden found the response
so far amazing. (Corporate)
actually told us were setting
records for the franchise, she
shared. And weve been doing
some trays for parties as well.
Weve been doing samplers
Italian samplers which have
olives, cheeses, pepperonis,
stuff like that and a lot of
phone-in orders.

tech talk
By Nick Delorenzo
T
heres a slick new accesso-
ry in the works for smart-
phones: An umbrella.
But this isnt just any umbrella
yes, it will keep you dry, but it
also will charge your phone and
boost your signal. The unlikely
accessory has received an equally
improbable moniker: The Boost-
er Brolly.
Currently in testing in the
United Kingdom, the Brolly was
developed by University College
London for Vodafone, the largest
mobile-communications compa-
ny in the world, which also owns
a substantial portion of Verizon
Wireless.
The umbrella features an array
of solar panels that unfurl upon
opening. They send current to a
battery stored in the umbrella
handle, where smartphones and
other USB-equipped mobile
devices can be plugged in.
The umbrella also features a
high-gain antenna with sub-
stantially more surface area than
a conventional cell-phone anten-
na, which it then boosts giv-
ing both the owner of the umbrel-
la and anyone within a few feet
of them an improved signal.
According to reports, its not
significantly heavier than a typ-
ical umbrella.
The Booster Brolly isnt alone.
There are jackets with built-in
MP3 players, shoes with pedom-
eters and embedded GPS receiv-
ers, T-shirts with LED displays,
watches powered by energy thats
generated by walking and the list
goes on. Before long the average
person on the street may be pack-
ing more gizmos than James
Bond and Locutus of Borg com-
bined. Eventually someone will
release a hat that uses a turbine
attached to a windmill on the top
to generate power for all of this,
and people will love it. Welcome
to the future; were all propeller
heads.
Im all for new and useful
stuff, but sometimes these things
need a bit more time in the oven
before theyre released to the
general public. There are now
clothes that you cant ever wash
because they contain embedded
electronics. In my opinion, a
Bluetooth earpiece should be
able to survive at least a cycle or
two in the washer.
The Booster Brolly is actually
an unusually practical idea, but it
makes me wonder if well see a
return of the Victorian tradition
of people strolling around twir-
ling parasols with a 21st-
century twist; theyre waiting for
their iPhone to charge so they
can ask Siri for directions. W

interactive and new media for

SPEAK & SEE, FROM
PAGE 56
B
logging seems pretty sim-
ple. Its basically someone
venting about the perils of
push-ups or waxing poetic about
stilettos and posting it on a spe-
cialized platformlike Blogger or
WordPress, right?
Not exactly. Because no matter
the subject, whether its fitness or
fashion, baking or bellyaching,
getting a blog seen by more than a
fewof your Facebook friends
requires orchestration, network-
ing and communication.
And thats why a fewlocal
bloggers who are passionate about
the idea of newmedia are plan-
ning on hosting NEPABlogCon
in September. Dubbing them-
selves the Fearsome Foursome,
Mandy Boyle, Leslie Stewart,
Karla Porter and Michelle Hryv-
nak-Davies were acquainted
through the blogosphere and
decided to organize the blogging
conference at Luzerne County
Community College.
Its something that hasnt been
done before, and its something
that were really excited about
because were very passionate
about Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia, Boyle said, noting that they
hope to make it an annual event.
We want to bring Northeastern
Pennsylvania a step forward in
terms of technology and new
media.
The actual conference is still a
fewmonths away, but in prep-
aration for it, there will be a
launch party for the website,
NEPABlogCon.com, Friday, June
22 at River Grille in Plains Twp.
Its going to be an opportunity
for people to come out and meet
the Fearsome Foursome as well as
some people who are interested in
attending and possibly presenting
at the event, Boyle explained.
Theres going to be door prizes
and giveaways and opportunities
for people to get some BlogCon
swag.
Its going to be a good oppor-
tunity for us to start getting our
name out there and increasing our
exposure so that people actually
knowabout BlogCon when it
comes around.
The website will be the go-to
resource for all information relat-
ing to BlogCon, including a ses-
sion schedule, slated speakers and
of course a blog where we
can share different tips and tools
and some perspective on the
actual BlogCon planning proc-
ess, according to Boyle.
The site will also be the place to
purchase tickets for Septembers
event, which are $35. The pro-
ceeds fromthe conference, as well
as any donations collected at the
launch party, will go to the NEPA
Veterans Multicare Alliance and
The Arc of Luzerne County.
Were bringing something new
and exciting and were sharing
newideas, but we also want to do
some good with that, too, Boyle
said.
BlogCon is not to be confused
with Blog Fest, which is a twice-
yearly gathering of local bloggers
that will be held again in Septem-
ber.
I dont think that BlogCon and
Blog Fest really compete with
each other, because they are two
completely different events,
explained Hryvnak-Davies. Blog
Fest has always been a more polit-
ical event in nature and informal
networking with bloggers and
politicians, whereas BlogCon is a
conference aimed at educating
current and potential future blog-
gers about what tools they have at
their disposal.
The conference will include
panel discussions and presenta-
tions and will cover topics like
search engine optimization, how
to use social media effectively to
promote your blog, howto come
up with a content strategy (and)
howto build a brand.
But Boyle noted that there will
be a social aspect to it.
Its more like a work hard, play
hard sort of thing, she said. Dur-
ing the day were going to have all
these sessions where theres tons
of great information and then
afterwards were going to have an
after party where people can mix
and mingle.
And just like the launch party,
the conference is open to every-
one.
Were going to look to cover a
wide range of topics so that peo-
ple who are bloggers of all experi-
ence levels can get something out
of it. W

just for the
health of it
By Tim Hlivia
T
he Industrial Revolution
was an important time in
history where changes in
manufacturing, transportation
and technology had a profound
effect on the conditions of that
time period. Much like the
Industrial Revolution impacted
1750-1850, the science and
technology of fitness impacts
our current generation.
One thing will be made
clearer in coming years
while exercise is vital for los-
ing and keeping fat at bay, you
do not necessarily need to do a
lot of cardio, like going for a
long run every day, to get great
results.
The need for extensive, bor-
ing workouts is outdated sci-
ence. The trend in fitness is
headed toward shorter, interval
based workouts that leave you
feeling refreshed.
The science of exercise has
evolved, but the way we think
about it hasnt. People are
busier now than ever, and
Americans are the heaviest
they have ever been. Coinci-
dence?
No one ever said, Today I
am going to make less time for
working out. And with all the
things we pack into our sched-
ules late nights at the of-
fice, working two jobs, etc.
we often have a tendency to
skip workouts. After all, if you
cant fit in an hour its
not worth it, right?
Wrong!
Not having
enough time
shouldnt be the excuse that
derails your fitness plans com-
pletely. Knowing what to do in
the time you have is the key to
staying on track. Choose exer-
cises that pack the most punch
and dial up the intensity a
notch, and you will surely get
those fat burners ignited. Get
back to basics with using your
own body weight to move
through space. Add exercises
like pushups, lunges and squats
to your routine and give your-
self the flexibility of exercising
right at home or on the go.
Its important to not jump
right into it if you havent been
exercising. There is always a
spike in injuries when people
rush into training. One problem
with home-fitness routines and
extreme-training methods is its
simply too much too fast.
A good strength-and-condi-
tioning program should allow
the person to start light until
their body gets accustomed to
the training program. Only then
can the body handle a more-
intense workout. Increasing the
intensity and load periodically
is proper technique. It allows
the body time to adapt to the
stresses of training.
When beginning any new
fitness regimen, one should
always consult with a credible,
certified personal trainer with a
strong, credible background
avoid trainers that have flim-
sy certifications, are one-
dimensional or too ag-
gressive. W
Choose exercises like pushups, which pack the most
punch, to dial up the intensity of a workout to get your
fat burners ignited.

bitch & brag
By Jeff and Amanda of 98.5 KRZ
Amandas Bitch
Being a reality-show junkie,
my taste in television isnt re-
spected by many, but I need to
vent. Summer TV sucks! Its
always been lame, but these new
dating shows have just pushed
bad TV over the edge.
I cant believe how many
women have volunteered to par-
ticipate in some of these horribly
boring and lame shows that have
debuted this summer. George
Lopezs new show Take Me
Out is a great example. What in
the world? Ive attempted to
watch it twice, both times throw-
ing up in my mouth a little and
finally changing the channel to
anything else even the TV
Guide Network is more enter-
taining to watch.
Then theres The Voice rip
off, The Choice. Again, I gave
it a try. I attempted to get through
an entire episode, but no luck. It
was just painful to watch. Celeb-
rities have no problem finding
dates, and we all know they will
just go on an awkward dinner
date with the winner of the show
just to fulfill the shows require-
ments and then never talk to
them again, so get real!
Have the networks really run
out of ideas? This week the Big
Brother rip-off show The Glass
House premiered, and Im sorry,
they can argue all they want, but
its Big Brother.
Thank God for reality shows,
Lifetime, and Law & Order
marathons or else summer TV
viewing would be impossible!
Before you write me e-mails
about getting out and enjoying
life instead of watching TV, I like
to fall asleep to it. My life
doesnt revolve around television,
but I like a program at night
who doesnt?
Jeffs Brag
Summertime is a great time to
stretch out on a beach towel and
catch up on some fun reading.
And with so many women ooh-
ing and ahhing over their Kindles
as they devour Fifty Shades of
Grey (which really should be
called Fifty Shades of Black and
Blue), I thought this might be a
good time to share with you my
three favorite books of all time.
When I was younger with more
free time, I used to devour books.
But these three have stood out
above the hundreds of others, and
are all quite different from one
another.
1) My favorite of all time:
The Five People You Meet In
Heaven by Mitch Albom. Dont
be scared off by the title if youre
not religious. Neither am I, but I
simply couldnt stop reading, and
this riveting story ends with such
impact, I literally get goose-
bumps every time I re-read it.
2) Atlas Shrugged by Ayn
Rand. This will only appeal to
political junkies. If youre a liber-
al who thinks the government can
solve all problems, dont bother.
Youll hate it. Otherwise, you
will be absolutely astonished
how this 1957 fictional classic
mimics what is happening today:
A government so big that it is
literally choking job creation and
bringing the economy to a grind-
ing halt.
3) The Immortality Edge. I
know the title might make you
roll your eyes, but its based on
Nobel Prize-winning research
which proves we can increase
how long we live a quality life.
The research indicates you can
live an active, pain-free life into
your 70s, 80s and possibly longer
with a few lifestyle changes.
(This book would be a great
choice for the P90X and CrossFit
crowd because daily, intense
exercise is part of the puzzle.)
So enjoy a book or two this
summer! And for the record, I
am probably one of the few guys
around who actually read every
page of Fifty Shades. Curiosity
got the better of me. I should
have stayed curious. W
Amanda finds the George-Lopez hosted Take Me Out
almost as annoying as this picture.
Its no Fifty Shades, but
this is still Jeffs all-time
favorite book.

entertained

sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
D
ear Mom & Dad,
A few weeks ago, I
went to the movies wear-
ing my brand-new hat that read
SLUT. Not since sporting my
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
backpack on my first day of
kindergarten had I been so excit-
ed to wear something in public!
Its funny how things change.
Anyway, the kid distributing
the tickets at the movie theater
said, I dont know how I feel
about that hat, man.
I dont know how I would feel
if you liked my hat, man! I
replied.
I think I realized how I would
feel if he liked that I was proudly
labeling myself a slut when my
massage therapist commented on
my nether-region grooming the
other day.
I couldnt help but notice
when you were flipping over that
you didnt shave down there. You
would feel a lot more comfort-
able if you did, he insisted.
I was speechless. This guy
peeked a glance at my naked
body and was honestly suggesti-
ng that I go Mr. Clean on my
man candy? During my drive
home, I couldnt figure out
whether or not I should call the
police or shave. The more I
thought about it, the more I was
intrigued rather than creeped out.
I must admit I always wanted to
shave them, but was afraid of
cutting myself and having one of
my man-berries fall out. I always
pictured it being found and used
as a golf ball, which would be a
total disaster. If my family jewels
are going to be bouncing around
between 18 holes it better be with
a group of Hawaiian Tropic
bikini models whose bus just
broke down, not a golf course!
When I got home from the last
massage I will ever get with that
masseuse, I looked myself dead
in the mirror!
You should definitely take his
advice and try it! I told myself.
You dont want to take advice
on manscaping from a massage
therapist, do you? Who do you
think you think you are? John
Travolta? I told myself on the
flip side.
Since Ive always been willing
to try anything four or five times,
I gave in and went Edward Scis-
sorhands on my dream team from
the inseam!
When I was finished, I was a
little sore, but it was worth it.
After all, behind every beautiful
thing, theres some kind of pain.
Love,
Justin W

but then again ...
By Jim Rising
Its summertime, summer-

time/ sum sum summer-
time.
That song by The Jamies
(Tom and Serena Jameson) was
a hit in 1958 and again in 1962.
In 1958 I was too young to
know, but in 1962 I was 9 years
old. Nine years old and summer
are a match made in heaven.
Nine years old and summer
are endless days of fun in the
sun. Swimming and sunburns
and fishing. Watermelon cool
and sweet, icy-cold orange
sodas from a machine with
water swirling around the bot-
tles and frosty popsicles so cold
your lips stuck to them.
are mindless afternoons on
your back looking at clouds,
imagining shapes. Catch and
release frogs and toads. Aim-
less bike rides.
are freedom from worry, a
certain relaxed attitude about
clothing and hygiene and the
time to play with the dog for
hours.
Ive been around for many
good summers in my years.
Some of them pretty spectac-
ular, really. But nowadays when
I cant remember where my car
keys are or where I wanted to
go if I found them, I can re-
member those 9-year-old sum-
mer days with an eerie clarity.
I have pictures of that boy,
tow-headed butch haircut,
gap-toothed What me, wor-
ry? grin, shirtless and clearly
carefree. I can see that he is
about to step away from the
camera, away from parental
control and go and have a good
time.
are inside this creaky old body.
They always will be and if
sometimes I forget that fact I
need to be reminded. Reminded
about what the grass stem
tasted like when you pulled a
long one and chewed the end.
Reminded of what it is like to
have no agenda or deadlines.
Reminded of when flip-flops
were too confining and bare-
foot was best.
The Summer Solstice is
Wednesday, June 20, 7:09 p.m.
EDT. If you are not a 9 year
old, take a few moments and
think about when you were.
Take some time away from
being older, wiser and mature,
and walk barefoot for a stretch.
Find a dog to play with. Be a 9
year old for a while. I swear it
wont hurt a bit. W

Return
to youth
for the summer
Spend the summer barefoot, and remember what its
like to be 9 years old.
H
ow difficult is it to set a
world record? Apparently,
a lot easier than you
would think.
All you need is a unique skill,
a video camera and a bit of
imagination, says RecordSetter,
the social-media site dedicated to
collecting, officializing and
promoting record-setting
achievements in creative and
unique categories. On Thursday,
June 21 at the McCann School of
Business and Technology in
Dickson City, community mem-
bers will come together to partic-
ipate in Share-a-Pair, in an
attempt to set a rather unusual
record for the worlds longest
clothesline of underwear.
Those willing to participate by
donating $5 and any new, clean,
tasteful underwear were asked
to drop off their donations to the
Dickson City campus, one of
seven campuses in the region,
and the laundry will be aired for
the public to see Thursday after-
noon. Other games and activities
will take place throughout the
afternoon starting at 1 p.m. All
monetary proceeds will benefit
the American Cancer Society.
Why underwear, you ask?
Just because its fun and silly
and hasnt already been done
before, says Joseph Unis, the
event coordinator. Unis, 33, is a
student at the school and helped
Randy Snedeker coordinate
McCanns record-setting 2011
event.
According to RecordSetter, all
that is required to get your sub-
mission on the books is that it is
quantifiable, breakable and
includes sufficient media evi-
dence.
Last August, McCann School
was also the site of the worlds
largest simultaneous shower. To
achieve this feat, there had to be
a 68-by-86-foot shower con-
structed out of plywood with
shower heads at regular intervals
to accommodate 161 participants.
That event, which broke the
145-person record previously
held by a group in Arizona,
raised money for St. Judes Chil-
drens Hospital in honor of Sne-
dekers late mother, Dorothy. In
order to qualify as a shower,
all participants had to stay under
the water for a full five minutes
and lather up. The suds were
made possible by a donation of
400 slivers of biodegradable
soap from Fanciful Fox Soap and
Candle Company in Scranton.
This time around, all the dona-
tions are coming from individual
participants, not local compa-
nies, and Unis hopes to see a
good turnout for the cause. He
isnt setting any specific goal
before the event for the number
of underwear collected. Dona-
tions and contributions can be
made up until the moment the
undies will be strung up in the
parking lot behind McCann. The
event documentation takes sever-
al months to be reviewed by
RecordSetter, and Unis says they
are still waiting on the orga-
nizations final official approval
for last years record.
While McCann plays host to
these slightly off-kilter record-
setting attempts, the school is
not officially involved with its
coordination. Unis and Snedeker
took on both projects as students
who simply wanted to plan fun
events for their community while
raising money for a good cause.
Pretty much everyone has
been affected by cancer in some
way, says Unis, who had a tu-
mor removed from his back in
June. It was not known whether
the tumor was benign or malig-
nant, but was a motivating factor
for raising money for the Amer-
ican Cancer Society all the same.
As a student of Criminal Jus-
tice at McCann and longtime
resident of Northeastern Penn-
sylvania, Unis is far from a pro-
fessional event coordinator, but
has lots of plans for more com-
munity fundraisers in the future.
He wants to coordinate an event
to raise money and awareness for
a Scranton-area dog rescue facil-
ity in the coming months.
I just have a big heart, you
know? I love my community, he
says. W
Share-a-Pair, Thurs. June 21, 1
p.m., behind McCann School of
Business and Technology (2227
Scranton Carbondale Highway,
Dickson City). Donations of $5
or new underwear can be
dropped off until the day of
the event.
McCann wants your clean underwear for a record-setting attempt - and a fundraiser
for the ACS.

DAISY
get your game on
By Robbie Vanderveken
T
his weeks game is a
wacky one. Its called
Lollipop Chainsaw. If
the silly name is not enough to
get your attention, maybe the
concept will. The game stars a
blond cheerleader named Juliet
who has to defend her school
against zombies with a chainsaw.
Thats not all: The game ramps
up the weird factor with Juliets
boyfriend. He is a severed zom-
bie head, which she wears on her
belt and has conversations with.
Besides having an insane con-
cept, graphically its way differ-
ent than you would expect; when
you chop up zombies, rainbows
and sparkles come pouring out.
What is not to love about this
game? There are hot girls, chain-
saws, zombies, silly characters,
violence, vulgar language and
sparkles.
Lollipop Chainsaw is from
Grasshopper Studios and Suda51
(aka Goichi Suda), which is
known for making games with
really zany concepts and crude
humor. I really loved its last few
games No More Heroes and
Shadows of the Damned.
Suda51s style is very bizarre;
his games are always over the top
and have a diverse cast of charac-
ters. They are always stylish and
have a campy grindhouse feel to
them, and Lollipop Chainsaw
is really the epitome of that.
Players take on the role of
Juliet Starling, a cheerleader at
San Romero High School (more
than a subtle nod to George A.
Romero, creator of Night of the
Living Dead movies). Unbek-
nownst to her, Juliet is from a
zombie-slaying family and must
become the savior of her town
thats overrun by the undead.
As twisted as it sounds, at the
very core of this game there is a
sweet love story between Juliet
and the severed head of her boy-
friend, Nick. He became a zom-
bie, so, in order to save him, she
cut off his head and found an
incantation to keep him alive and
now she carries him around
attached to her belt. Throughout
the game, the banter between
them is hilarious as they sort out
their problems. Nick has to come
to grips with not having a body,
and Juliet needs to realize that
Nick is more than just a fashion
accessory.
Enough about the mushy-
feelings stuff, this game is about
chopping up zombies. The com-
bat doesnt really get deep until
later in the game. For most of the
game, it is a button masher, but
as you unlock new abilities later
in the game, the combat gets to
be fun, violent and really over the
top. You get to use stripper poles,
cheerleader moves and even a
gun that fires your boyfriends
head at the enemies.
The best things and the worst
things about this game stem from
the comedy. The first time I saw
her super move and Mickey by
Toni Basil plays, I laughed really
hard. The esthetics are funny, the
dialogue is high-quality for the
most part, the game is pretty
much one big juvenile joke it
definitely doesnt take itself too
seriously. If you get squeamish
about bad language and crude
humor, run away from this game.
The comedy is also one of the
biggest problems with the game,
after the first couple of hours of
bad jokes, it loses shock value.
Also the undead dont moan;
they mumble insults that are
really misogynistic. Every zom-
bie Juliet decapitates with her
chainsaw calls her a whore, talks
about masturbating to her or
comments on her breasts. Even-
tually the obscenity hits a point
where its no longer adding to the
experience.
This game is a fun ride, its
bizarre concept and obscene
humor is what makes it fun but
also it can get old fast. If you are
looking for a game that is just
mindless entertainment, then
Lollipop Chainsaw is a good
way to blow off some steam, but
its definitely not for everyone. W

Lollipop Chainsaw isnt for everyone, but its a campy,
grindhouse-y good time.
Hot girls,
chainsaws,
zombies, oh my!

CANCER(JUNE 21-JULY22)
Most people think in words, carrying on
an internal dialogue with themselves as a
way of understanding reality. But thats not
the only way. People who are born deaf, for
example, seemto think more effectively in
images and only learn thinking in words as
a second language, if at all. Computers
think in numbers. You have an incredible
capacity to express yourself and under-
stand different modes of expression this
week. Try learning a newway of thinking
and articulating your thoughts. Talk in
circles, think in spirals or calculate the
square root of your relationships.
LEO(JULY23-AUG. 22)
Even deposed kings and queens still
have to work for a living, according to
members of the International Monarchist
League. Admittedly, some have retained
private means, but many have had to take
up professions like real estate or insurance.
Theres not much roomleft in the world for
royalty, my dear. Think about that one the
next time you want to act like a tyrant. You
may not be more than one unpopular de-
cree froma revolution. And you thought
being queen was all glamour and worship-
ful subjects! Nope. Being royal still means
walking on eggshells or across flaming
coals a lot of the time you just get to do
it in nicer shoes.
VIRGO(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
What youre feeling nowis the pain of
labor. Youre giving birth to a wild new
idea with a life of its own. You could pain-
lessly bring it into the world nowwhile its
still small and helpless, but itll be as ugly
as a newborn kangaroo (they resemble wet
pink erasers) and need as much care and
nurture to survive in this harsh world. Or
you could carry it in your head and quietly
allowit to develop there until it finally,
painfully drops into this life like an open-
eyed, furry little baby goat, able to walk
(and play) on its own within minutes. The
choice is yours!
LIBRA(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
In my other life as a perennial world
traveler, Ive encountered some pretty
crazy situations. But its not the surreal
extremes of my wanderings that have
changed me the most. Its howwidely
peoples perceptions of reality differ from
place to place. Staying too long in one
location, my reality collapses to tunnel
vision until I forget that theres a whole big
wide world out there or, if thats too
small, a seemingly infinite universe be-
yond that! Feel too contained by your cur-
rent reality? Imagine who you could be in
the Australian Outback or India or as a
Martian colonist. You are also all those
people. Be them. Your local reality will
accommodate you, I promise.
SCORPIO(OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
For every newidea you learn or think up,
fresh synapses are physically created in
your brain to accommodate it. Research on
the effects of LSDshows that it drastically
changes the shape of your brain, as it rap-
idly generates newsynapses by the thou-
sands. This ably demonstrates howideas
and information can actually have physical
weight, substance and energy, however
slight. Even reading this paragraph is per-
manently altering the structure of your
brain. Pretty cool, huh? Luckily for you,
newideas are as common as cockroaches
this week, and your brain will never look
the same.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
ImKing of the Slide! proclaimed one
diminutive 8 year old at the playground. He
stood at the top of the slide, arms raised,
filled with royal triumph until those
coming up the ladder shoved himback-
wards down the slide. This week will be
filled with moments like this for you. You,
too, can ferociously hang on while youre
pushed and your fingers are pried from the
edge. You may be able to maintain your
grip, but you might want to consider ac-
cepting your fate with dignity and grace.
Its only a short walk around and back up
the ladder, and by next week, no one
should stand in your way.
CAPRICORN(DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
Do you remember the moment when you
first realized the school bully was an in-
secure and unhappy human being and
perhaps experienced a second of compas-
sion? Or that your parents were actually
people, not just Mom and Dad? At least
three two-dimensional characters in your
life (like your mail carrier or landlord) will
reveal an interesting third (or fourth or
fifth) dimension of their lives to you this
week. You might be shocked to discover
that some people you thought knewyou
well only see a flat paper cut-out of you
and need enlightening themselves.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
If you stick unripe bananas in a paper
bag with a sweet, brown-speckled one, the
green bunch will turn yellowand ready-to-
eat more quickly. I dont knowwhy it
works, but theres a delicious parallel to
this process that applies specifically to you.
Maturation by association its been so
evident in you that I have to applaud your
choice in the company youve kept lately.
While I knowyoure blessed with eternal
youthfulness, that shouldnt keep you from
developing the most powerful traits of age:
Foresight, sensitivity and wisdom, all
gleaned from the mistakes and successes of
your (and your friends) past experiences.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH20)
If your life were an actual road trip (in-
stead of a metaphorical one), you might
feel as if you were headed for a town called
Truth or Consequences, N. M., Lost,
Minn., or Uncertain, Texas. But your feel-
ing would be wrong. Things are not so dire
as that! While youre not headed for a place
as wonderful as Carefree, Ariz., Little
Heaven, Del., or Utopia, Fla., I do have a
feeling that the stretch of highway youre
navigating leads to someplace thats good
for you; maybe Rocky Comfort, Ark.,
Happy Valley, Hawaii, or Good Hope, Md.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL19)
Even with your eyes closed, youll make
at least half the three-pointers you shoot at
the garbage can this week. Approximately
a third of your casual flirtations could
result in an invitation home. Fully three-
quarters of your work will pass your bosss
inspection on the first try. Some points to
ponder: Howsuccessful would you be if
you actually looked at what you were aim-
ing at? Keep your eyes open when throw-
ing something away, be it paper, plastic or
person. Dont flirt unless youre willing to
put out. And do everything right the first
time, since no one is going to make you do
it again.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY20)
Irritable much? This week, we crown
you Queen Brat. Even though youll order
us beheaded or simply bite our heads off
yourself, we ought to accord you the status
you so often yield to those bossy Leos,
Aries or even those spoiled Pisces. Every
so often you erupt like a dormant volcano,
and all who stand in the flowof your mol-
ten anger had better watch out. Like a
human Vesuvius, youve got so much
power seething just belowyour usually
placid surface. Dont resist your rage if it
boils over this week; youll give yourself an
ulcer. But try not to incinerate anyone
you might need themlater.
GEMINI (MAY21-JUNE 20)
The wizened sage meditated on the
stony spire of the mountain. It occurred to
her that there had been no Seekers for
many moons. They used to come looking
for knowledge, advice, compassion. She
was lonely. Contemplating the serpentine
path down the perilous slope, fear and
dread filled her. She amazed herself with
an open-mouth hollering down the moun-
tainside, seeking aid fromthose who lived
below. Your friends those simple, love-
able, thick-ankled peasants have wis-
domyouve been overlooking. Nowthat
you suddenly dont have all the answers
(only quite a few), I hope youre willing to
ask the village idiots for a fewof the mis-
sing pieces. W

Ride of
the Week
By Michael Golubiewski
To submit your vehicle,
email: mgolubiewski@theweekender.com
2011
CHRYSLER 200 LIMITED
Owner:
James Kalinay
of Shavertown
I bought this car brand new, and I
have done some minor customizations
to it which include, MOPAR Cold Air
Intake, LED light accents above the
fog lights, a low-profle lip spoiler, and
I tinted the windows, Kalinay says. I
love this car; it has a lot of power, and it
is surprisingly good on gas. W
