The muscle-up.
Yoga moves that require
balance.
Anything that requires
coordination.
The one-legged king pigeon. Holding a plank for a full
minute.
What is one exercise you wish
you could master?
Nowthat the Memorial Day
holiday is behind us, I think its safe
to say though the calendar
indicates otherwise that its
officially summer. And this first
Weekender of summer 2012 is jam
packed, so lets get started!
Up first we have our cover story
in which Staff Writer Stephanie
DeBalko got the skinny on two
fitness regimes that seemto have
everyone buzzing, CrossFit and hot
yoga. Howhot is hot yoga, you
might be wondering? Find out by
turning to p. 36. We also covered
some eating tips and got five local
trainers top picks for fitness foot-
wear in the story and gave you
no excuses to not hit the gymover
the next three months sorry!
Afewweeks back, we did a
cover story on the resurgence of
VHS, and local moviemaker Bob-
by Keller proved that the format is
alive and well with his newhorror
film, Deatherman, which he shot
entirely on VHS. Find out more by
flipping to p. 29.
Also in this weeks issue, you
can meet a local Wiccan High
Priest who hopes to raise aware-
ness for his religion (p. 22) and a
San Diego transplant who knows a
thing or two about piercing in
Who Is (p. 46).
In Sorry Mom&Dad (p. 48),
our loveable devilkin has truly
outdone himself by somehow
making himself a flavor at Ritas
Italian Ice. And yes, we, too, are
oddly intrigued at the taste.
Youll find the return of one of
our most-popular features, Tell
Us, in which well be asking you,
our readers, our weekly staff ques-
tion. To see whos featured this
week, turn to p. 50.
On a personal level, I was excit-
ed to chat with one of the members
of The The Band Band, which
performs the music of The Band at
the Mauch Chunk Opera House in
JimThorpe Friday. Gary, who not
only performed with now-de-
ceased members Levon
Helmand Rick Danko a few
times, was also at The Last
Waltz, the legendary bands
final show. As a fan of The
Band for as long as I can
remember, our conversation
gave me chills. You can find
the story on p. 14.
Imout of space, so Ill
see you right here next week
thanks for reading!

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
IN SICKNESS AND IN
HEALTH, BUT NOT IN
TRIVIALITY AND
TACKINESS
All U.S. states have forms of
no-fault divorce, but not England,
which requires that couples prove
adultery or abandonment or
unreasonable behavior, which
leads to sometimes-epic weird-
ness, according to an April New
York Times dispatch from Lon-
don. For instance, one womans
petition blamed her husbands
insistence that she speak and
dress only in Klingon. Other
examples of unreasonable be-
havior (gathered by the Times of
London): A husband objecting to
the malicious preparation of
his most hated dish (tuna casse-
role), a spouses non-communi-
cation for the last 15 years (ex-
cept by leaving Post-it Notes), a
spouses too-rapid TV channel-
changing, a husbands distorting
the fit of his wifes best outfits by
frequently wearing them and
ones insistence that a pet tarantu-
la reside in a glass case beside
the marital bed.
COMPELLING
EXPLANATIONS
Lame: (1) Madison County,
Ind., council member David
McCartney admitted to the Her-
ald Bulletin newspaper in March
that he had exchanged sexually
explicit e-mails with a female
official in another county but
would not resign. In fact, he said,
he had engaged in the exchanges
not for hanky-panky but in order
to expose corruption. He has
not elaborated. (2) Chris Wind-
ham, 27, was charged with im-
properly photographing a 57-
year-old man in a mens room in
Trinity, Texas, in March after
Windham, using a stall, allegedly
snapped a cell phone photo of the
man standing at the adjacent
urinal. Windham explained that
typically he braces himself with
one hand on the floor while he
wipes himself, and this time the
hand on the floor was holding his
cell phone.
-- Maureen Raymond, 49, said
her roadside DUI test adminis-
tered in January was unfair. Ac-
cording to records cited by
Scripps Media, she told a deputy
in Port St. Lucie, Fla., that she
couldnt walk a straight line
with her big boobies, which
she said makes balancing diffi-
cult. The deputy reported that
Raymond helpfully offered to
show him the evidence but that
he stopped her.
THINGS LEADERS BELIEVE
-- Though recently elected
Councillor Simon Parkes told the
Scarborough Evening News in
March that his work on the Whit-
by (England) Town Council
would not be affected, he has
famously (in a YouTube video)
reported lifelong horrific in-
vasive encounters with extra-
terrestrials, including many visits
from a 9-foot-tall, green moth-
er-like being who sends him
messages through his eyes,
down his optic nerve to his brain.
-- Arni Johnsen, a member of
Icelands Parliament, survived a
serious 2010 automobile crash
a stroke of good fortune he has
since attributed to a family of
elves (three generations, in fact,
according to an elf specialist)
who live in a boulder near the
crash site. Icelands Morgunbla-
did newspaper reported that
Johnsen recently had the 30-ton
boulder relocated to his own
property, which he said affords
the elves a better view than at
their previous home. (Another elf
authority told reporters, howev-
er, that relocating the family was
bound to bring Johnsen bad
luck.)
THE LITIGIOUS SOCIETY
-- The family of a 13-year-old
girl filed a lawsuit in Queen-
sland, Australia, in April after
their daughter, in a physical
education tennis class at an up-
scale private school in Mudgee-
raba, was hit in the eye by a bad
shot from a fellow13 year old.
The injury came as the girls were
smashing balls back to each
other from the baseline during a
lesson. (Brisbanes Courier-Mail
newspaper reported that several
schools in Queensland state have
banned such dangerous school-
yard activities as cartwheels
and red rover.)
CREME DE LA WEIRD
-- Fetishists on Parade: (1)
Gary Paterson, 36, was sentenced
to community service and psy-
chotherapy after being convicted
of trying to lick clean the shoes
of four boys. (2) Robert Van
Wagner, 33, was arrested after
three girls (ages 12 and 13) told
police he asked them to put on
socks he gave them and to run
around a field so he could watch.
(3) Tetsuya Ichikawa, 50, was
arrested after approaching a
25-year-old woman from behind
in a restaurant and licking her
hair.
LEAST COMPETENT
TERRORISTS
-- (1) A bomb accidentally
exploded on a bus in Port Har-
court, Nigeria, in May, killing a
man who police suspect was on
his way to blow up something
else. He was the only person
killed, but two suspected associ-
ates with him (carrying assault
rifles and ammunition) were
injured. (2) In April, Mohammad
Ashan, described by U.S. offi-
cials as a mid-level Taliban
commander in Paktika province,
Afghanistan, walked up to a
police checkpoint with a wanted
poster of himself (offering a $100
cash reward) and turned himself
in for the money. Ashan was
arrested following a biometric
scan to verify his identity. Yes,
yes, thats me, he reportedly
said. Can I get my award now?

A three-truck crash on Interstate 40 in Albuquerque, N.M.,
in May destroyed one truck and sent two people to the hospital
with minor injuries. One tractor-trailer carrying a load
of charcoal and charcoal lighter fluid crashed into the rear
of a tractor-trailer carrying frozen meat. The lighter fluid
facilitated a huge fireball/barbecue.

O
n Thanksgiving Day 1976,
Gary Solomon was one of
the many fans who packed
into San Franciscos Winterland
Ballroom to witness The Bands
farewell show, The Last Waltz.
It was twist of fate. I was a
19-year-old teenager on my first
trip out of my parents house and
the area, Solomon began. I
wound up visiting a friend in San
Francisco. I heard about the
concert on Saturday, the concert
was on Thursday. And dont
forget, this was before the In-
ternet, so on Monday I called the
box office they had tickets
and I was shocked and drove over
there as fast as I could.
At $25, the ticket was pricy for
those days, but I would have
sold my blood to get it, Solomon
professed. The performance was
filmed by Martin Scorsese and
released in 1978 but Solomon
hasnt seen himself in what is
arguably one of the greatest
concert films of all time.
No, and I scoured, he shared,
laughing.
Today, as a member of The
The Band Band (no, thats not a
typo), Solomon gets to recreate
some of the iconic songs from
The Last Waltz and more of
The Bands catalog. Northeastern
Pennsylvania fans can hear
TTBBs tribute to The Band
when it performs at the Mauch
Chunk Opera House in Jim
Thorpe Friday, June 1.
Formed about five years ago in
Rockland County, N.Y., TTBB
features Solomon on bass/drums/
vocals, Jack Kraft (keyboards,
accordion, vocals), Mike Corbin
(guitar, vocals), Vinny Nicosia
(drums, guitar, vocals) and Josh
Radin (guitar, mandolin, vocals).
While The Band had different
incarnations that stretched into
the late 90s, TTBB focuses on
the original phase of 1964-1976
which featured Rick Danko,
Levon Helm, Garth Hudson,
Richard Manuel and Robbie
Robertson.
To me, their real, most-semi-
nal period is from 68-76 when
they recorded their iconic albums
and worked with Bob Dylan a
lot, Solomon said. So our show
will draw a lot from that reper-
toire.
With Helms April 19 passing,
were going to lean a little more
heavily on the songs that Levon
did as a tribute to him as well.
Helm holds a special place in
Solomons heart, especially since
he got to see The Band member
perform at several of the Mid-
night Rambles he hosted at his
home in Woodstock, N.Y. Solo-
mon attended the Rambles
thanks in part to friend and occa-
sional TTBB saxophone player
Erik Lawrence, who had been
part of The Levon Helm Band.
One of the first ones (I went
to) was my 50th birthday, and
(Lawrence) actually got them to
agree to let me sit in for a song,
Rag Mama Rag, Solomon
said. And there I was on my
50th birthday on stage with Le-
von Helm. I could have died and
went to heaven.
TTBB members share lead-
vocal duties, and Solomon han-
dles I Shall Be Released,
Tears of Rage, Rag Mama
Rag and others that he can list
easily; not so when asked his
favorite Band song.
Absolutely impossible to
answer, theres just too many
great songs, he said. I will say
this: Theres one song in partic-
ular, The Shape Im In, which
was the first Band song I ever
heard when I was 13, so I have a
particular fondness for that
song.
Solomon has even come to
love the quartets mouthful name,
to an extent.
One thing that I didnt want to
get was a line from a song or a
title or anything like that, he
said. To me, its not that in-
teresting. I was originally calling
it The Band Band because I
thought it was funny and then
Jack suggested it should be The
The Band Band.
It just became kind of an
inside joke. I even still call it The
Band Band sometimes because it
sounds like youre stuttering, he
added with a laugh. W

tech talk
By Nick Delorenzo
Special to the Weekender
B
ig ideas have forever been
limited by small pocket-
books.
By and large, huge corpora-
tions and people with money
didnt get that way by taking
crazy risks.
As a result, wild ideas, even
ones that everyone seems to
think are good, typically never
see the light of day.
Youd think with all this In-
ternet stuff, someone some-
where would have found a way
around that problem.
They have. Theyve turned it
over to Kickstarter.
Kickstarter is a crowd fund-
ing platform. You make your
pitch or post your idea on its
website, and if visitors to the
site think the ideas have merit,
they can make a cash donation
to help fund the project.
The project can be anything,
from a video game or art pro-
ject to a sellable product or
business.
If it seems unrealistic that
anyone could manage to con-
vince complete strangers to give
them money because their ideas
look cool, consider the story of
a product called the Pebble
E-Paper Watch, a watch based
upon ePaper-display technology
that can also display messages
from a mobile device. After
failing to raise enough capital to
launch the product, the compa-
ny went to Kickstarter in April
2011 seeking $100,000 in fund-
ing to continue development.
They made a grand total of
$10.2 million from 68,929 back-
ers, so its probably safe to
assume that well be seeing the
product sometime soon.
I first came across Kickstarter
when I was looking up informa-
tion on an old computer game
that I had played years ago,
called Wasteland, which was
the predecessor to the extremely
popular Fallout series.
I discovered that the creator
of the original Wasteland,
Brian Fargo, was working on a
sequel. Feeling that he would be
unable to achieve his ideal vi-
sion for the game under the
control of a major software
house, Fargo bought the naming
rights and pleaded his case on
Kickstarter in March, seeking to
raise $900,000 to develop it.
Hes raised $2.9 million.
The beauty of Kickstarter is
that it makes product devel-
opment a truly democratic proc-
ess. If someone feels that they
can do it better than a major
corporation, and everyone
agrees with them, theyll get the
financial backing they need to
do it.
The downside is that Kick-
starter essentially operates on a
purely caveat emptor basis
if you donate funding, you
should be aware that theres no
guarantee that the product will
ever be made or that the person
will use it as they say they will.
Kickstarter makes money by
taking a 5 percent share of any
project thats successfully met
its goal.
Of course, the majority of
projects dont meet their goals,
either because they arent pop-
ular or are just plain bad ideas.
But the success rate is actually a
surprisingly good 44 percent.
Who can say how much of that
is luck vs. smart investing?
So, mad scientists, misunder-
stood artists or struggling film
makers, if the man gives you
the thumbs down, heres your
chance to take it to the people.

Replacing a band member is
never an easy task especially
when that person has been an
integral part of the group for
more than two decades. Some
artists couldnt cross that obsta-
cle, but it hasnt stopped Penny-
wise from trying. The band
recently released its 10th album
All or Nothing with Zoli Te-
glas, who replaces recently de-
parted singer and Punk Rock
Dad author Jim Lindberg.
The opening title track
launches with a blistering riff,
quickly proving that Pennywise
still has plenty of its youthful
spirit left. All or Nothing
marks a return to longtime label
(and SoCal punk icon) Epitaph
Records, and the furious tempo,
unrelenting rhythm and catchy
choruses of fist-in-the-air an-
thems like Waste Another
Day, X Generation and See-
ing Red are perfect additions to
this stable. While music like this
may be formulaic, the formula
works and should easily ignite
the flame of rebellion in fans
everywhere.
Elsewhere, Pennywise does
stray ever so slightly from that
formula. Tracks like We Have
It All, Let Us Hear Your
Voice and United tone down
the buzzsaws and jackhammers
in favor of more emphasis on
vocals and harmonies. While it
sounds perfectly fine, it also
marks a loss of some of the
cutting energy that added a
punch to Pennywises music.
Tomorrow gets a little muddy,
and that lack of focus makes the
listener itch to press the fast-
forward button.
All or Nothing is an admi-
rable offering, teeming with the
same incendiary rebelliousness
and sun-driven energy that has
been part of Pennywises music
throughout its career. However,
Lindbergs absence may be more
apparent than the band would
like to admit, and some long-
time fans may have trouble
getting past that.
While Teglas has stepped in
and does a perfectly fine job,
his vocals also have an uncanny
resemblance to The Offsprings
Dexter Holland, and unfortu-
nately that takes away from the
bands identity just a bit too
much for comfort.

You may know New Zeal-
ands Kimbra from her power-
house turn on Gotyes hit
Somebody That I Used To
Know. Vows, her debut
album, came out in Australia
to much acclaim last year. It
has been updated f ive songs drop-
ped, six added for its U.S. release,
and like Gotyes Making Mirrors,
its a wide-ranging collection of ap-
pealing pop with a subtle experi-
mental streak.
Although anchored by Kimbras
emphatic, leaping vocals and by a
penchant for constructing beats from
vocal samples, Vows whiplashes
between big r&b production numbers
and trip-hoppy ballads.
The percussive Settle Down, the
dense Come Into My Head, and the
bubble-gummy Cameo Lover con-
trast with the plinky, Bjork-like The
Build Up, the slinky Good Intent,
and the even slinkier cover of Nina
Simones Plain Gold Ring.
Vows isnt much on coherence,
but it introduces an enticingly eclec-
tic talent.

From
background to
forefront
Vows is a wide-ranging
collection of appealing pop with
a subtle experimental streak.
Its expected that the debut albumfrom
KIshibashi (aka Kishi Bashi) would be a
little all over the map given his frequency
touring with out-there outfit Of Montreal.
But while the Kickstarter-funded 151a
has its moments of eccentricity, its equally
opulent and mellow.
The string-laden albumgets off to a
sweeping and elegant start with Intro/
Pathos, Pathos until electronics come into
play alongside high-pitched chanting;
when Ishibashis vocals start, theyre sur-
prisingly calming. The gorgeous Man-
chester follows as Ishibashi declares, I
havent been this in love in a long time;
the song builds to a festive and frantic
finish.
Bright Whites gives the first of the
albums Japanese phrases with some
breathy chanting amid handclaps and noisy
blips. It All Began With ABurst has a
throaty Of Montreal-esque bassline, a
wailing violin and more handclaps; its
lyrics are odd, yet catchy. Plucky strings
and Japanese phrases are highlighted on
the slightly somber Wonder Woman,
Wonder Me while Chesters Burst Over
The Hamptons is an uptempo synth-y
delight that goes fromcelebratory to sinis-
ter well, as sinister as a snyth can get.
Atticus, In The Desert is fantastically
madcap as I AmThe Antichrist To You
has lilting strings and Ishibashi stating, I
amthe antichrist to you/ fallen fromthe sky
with grace; background vocalists add an
even more haunting quality to the track.
With thumping bass and Japanese
strings, Beat The Bright Out Of Me is
very different from151as other songs,
but fits and is a perfect closing track in
that it makes you want more of Kishi Bashi
as the song slowly fades to black.

J
amie Dana was only in
eighth grade when his
life was shaken by the
tragic loss of an infant child
within his family. Unable to
find an answer or explanation
that made sense to him, he
began a spiritual journey that
led him to Wicca. Now the
High Priest hopes to share his
knowledge with others in
Northeastern Pennsylvania.
According to Dana, Wicca
is an earth-based religion that
is both dualistic, meaning
there are two equals, and
polar, meaning everything has
an opposite such as light and
dark and life and death.
We believe everything is
connected to a divine essence
and that everything has a soul
or spirit, and anything that is
put out affects that divine
essence which affects you,
he explained.
The 36 year old said he has
been practicing and teaching
Wicca for more than 20
years. He claimed there are
many misconceptions about
Wiccans, including the be-
lief they are all members of
the Gothic subculture, which
he said is simply not true.
Im your average blue-
collar truck driver, he said.
Magic isnt fireballs and
lighting bolts, its just a
prayer directed towards at-
taining something.
Dana and his peers cre-
ated American Wicca with
the goal of bringing together
practitioners of Wicca and
other pagan religions in the
area, as well as educating
those who wish to learn about
the religion. Sitting in a
booth in the back of The
Garb Wench in Ashley, he
told the Weekender that he
hopes more people will be-
come aware of what they are
trying to do.
He explained their meetings
are open to anyone and said,
We want to establish a place
where everyone feels com-
fortable and nobody is going
to disagree with you because
of who you are and to give
people the opportunity to
learn from others who have
been doing this for a long
time.
The group uses The Garb
Wench as its meeting place,
and Dana said the owner,
Cheryl Fisher, has been great
with accommodating Amer-
ican Wicca. Specializing in
handmade renaissance-style
costumes, along with offering
pagan and new-age supplies,
the space provides a perfect
backdrop for the discussions
and meetings based around a
religion that finds its roots in
ancient pagan traditions.
According to a 2001 survey
by the City University of
New York, Wicca is the fas-
test-growing religion in the
United States, but Dana said
getting Wiccans to gather in
one place can be a challenge.
Although he estimates there
to be thousands of Wiccans in
NEPA, Dana said they are
fragmented and dont keep in
very good touch with each
other.
That is something I would
like to change, he said. We
dont respond well to hie-
rarchy or having a pope
above us, so having more of a
group where someone under-
stands you might be able to
connect us a little bit better.
The Wiccan High Priest
said that while times are hard
for people, he hopes to lessen
the cost for materials for the
group through the sharing of
books. He pointed to a shelf
in the corner of the room and
said it is just the beginning of
the resource library the group
is building.
We were green before it
was cool to be green, he
said with a laugh.
Dana helps fund the expan-
sion of the groups library
through the offering of tarot
readings to the public. Read-
ings are available at The Garb
Wench by appointment for
$25, and you can get a free
reading by bringing a friend.
Overall, Dana said he hopes
to raise awareness and in-
crease the visibility of his
group so that it may continue
to grow and prosper. His
main goal is for people to be
able teach and learn from one
another within a community
setting.
Weve been fragmented
long enough, he said. Its
time. W

attaining something.

Special to the Weekender
I
ts easy to lose track of things
and give in to convenience
during the hot summer
months. Summertime presents
many challenges when it comes
to conserving energy, reducing
consumption and sticking to an
eco-friendly lifestyle. Here are a
few eco-friendly summer tips
that are simple and highly bene-
ficial.
With this past weekend being
so humid and well into 90 degree
temperatures, its safe to say that
everyone was running their air
conditioning. To save energy and
reduce pollution this summer,
why not keep your thermostat
raised? Of course, on the really
hot days, I know Ill have my air
running, but Im going to try my
best to use it as little as possible
this year. To keep your house
cooler on summer days, cook
outside on the grill or cook in
bulk and freeze meals rather than
cooking every day. It doesnt hurt
to wear lighter fabrics, like cot-
ton, to keep cool. You can always
jump in a cool lake or nice pool
to beat the heat, too!
With higher temperatures
comes running water more often.
To conserve water, never let your
faucets run. If your lawn is dry-
ing up, try watering it in the early
morning or evening, but never
water it midday. Another good
summer tip is to avoid the use of
pesticides and herbicides on your
lawn. Studies show that pesti-
cides can be extremely unsafe to
the environment as they often run
off into waterways.
There is nothing more annoy-
ing than trying to relax outside
on a nice summer night and
having mosquitoes buzzing
around. Mosquito repellent is a
must, however, many of them
contain toxic chemicals, like
DEET. There are a few home
remedies you can try to make
natural repellent. Try using a
juicer to create a celery extract.
The celery juice can be rubbed or
sprayed on your skin as a natural
repellent. Eucalyptus oil is also
an effective natural remedy to
repel mosquitoes.
Farmers markets are one of
my favorite things about summer.
Try hitting one up for local pro-
duce this season instead of get-
ting everything at the grocery
store. Youll not only be support-
ing your local economy, youll
also be getting fresh produce.
Farmers markets benefit the
environment by reducing packag-
ing and reducing vehicle pollu-
tion from trucks that transport
produce.
With summer pretty much
here, its a great time to pick up
the slack and try a few extra
things to continue your eco-
friendly lifestyle. W
Green ways
to beat
the heat
Lakes and pools are great, eco-friendly ways to stay
cool.

forget: The neon cloth-
ing, the Aqua Net-held hair
and, of course, the insanely
cheesy, yet highly entertaining
horror movies. We can all
remember going to the video
store and scamming the horror
section for the goriest artwork,
promising the most entertaining
hour and a half. The evolution
of computer software has taken
the genre to places directors of
the 80s could only dream of,
but that doesnt mean all
should be forgotten.
Bobby Keller,
director, writer and
producer of the
locally shot horror
movie, Deather-
man, is proving
that the film-
making techniques
of the past can
indeed produce a
piece that even the most mod-
ern movie lovers can enjoy.
Deatherman tells the tale of
a local weatherman out for
revenge after an insane intern
targets him.
A local weatherman arrives
at work one morning to find
out there is a new intern at
the news station, Keller be-
gan. She asks him out for a
drink little does he know
that she has just been released
from a mental institution and
will stop at nothing to get his
job. She ends up murdering
him and burying his body in
the woods. But that night there
is an acid rainstorm that
brings him back to life.
Kellers love of
horror movies, like
John Carpenters The
Fog, inspired him to
begin the Deather-
man project. A humorous
death scene of a weatherman
in the movie gave Keller the
concept. He wanted to create a
shot-on video horror movie
that was fun, gory and most
importantly, original.
The entire reason for mak-
ing it was that I wanted to
make a really bad-looking
shot-on video horror movie,
but an enjoyable one a
homage to movies like Video
Violence, Zombie Bloodbath
and Black Devil Doll from
Hell. I wanted the acting to
be terrible, the quality to be
bad and the effects to be pain-
fully fake, Keller said.
Most of the films released
when shot-on video horror was
trendy were known for poor
acting, with most actors never
starring in another film.
The terrible acting kind of
backfired on me, because ev-
eryone involved turned out to
be really good actors, Keller
shared. Im very open when
it comes to their ideas, which
have been great, and I encour-
age them to improvise; it
makes the scenes look and
feel more natural.
What sets apart a shot-on
video movie is the fact that is
it just that: A low-budget film
produced with a consumer-
quality video camera to be
released on VHS tape. Keller
is keeping this tradition for
Deatherman, so viewers will
need to dust off their old
VCR.
Im shooting it on an old
RCA camcorder that you put
an actual VHS tape in to re-
cord, Keller said. Its very
nostalgic to me. The first 50
VHS tapes we sell come in a
clamshell box with original
artwork, a red VHS tape, a
Deatherman promo pin and
even a temporary Deatherman
tattoo. Ive had a lot of people
ask if well ever release it on
DVD. Its possible, but for
now our only plan for it is a
VHS release. W

here is no doubt that the
Scranton area knows howto
have a good time. For the
past two years, the Anthracite
Heritage Museumand Iron Fur-
naces Associates of Scranton have
held a festival that celebrates both
local history and a formof art.
At more than170 years old, the
Scranton Iron Furnace building is
considered to be a national historic
site. This location is made of stone
and was once operated by the
Lackawanna Iron and Steel Com-
pany. Shortly after more than 60
years of operation, the company
moved locations to NewYork in
order to be closer to a higher grade
of iron.
Having Scranton, Grant &
Company in the area, which was
run by the Lackawanna Iron and
Steele, was a major reason for
population growth within this city.
Despite the short amount of time
that the Iron Furnaces were actual-
ly up and running, this company
has had a major impact on the iron
production in the United States
during the late1800s.
More than three years ago, a
group of community partners held
a discussion meeting. They put
their heads together to try and
figure out a way to educate and
interest people of todays society
about the Iron Furnaces. After
much talk, hard work and an am-
ple amount of planning, the cele-
bration of the Arts on Fire Festival
was created.
This three-day festival is cele-
brated at the historic Scranton Iron
Furnaces beginning Friday, June1.
The first event is a nighttime fun-
draiser that shows a professional
iron pour. This event is for the
community and will include food
and live music frombluegrass
band The Lost Ramblers. All of
the proceeds benefit the Scranton
Iron Furnaces.
Different types of artists travel
fromall over the country to display
their works of art at Arts on Fire
Festival. They use glass, metal,
clay and other types of materials.
There will also be plenty of food,
music and activities to do Saturday
and Sunday. There will be black-
smiths, glass-blowing demonstra-
tions and another iron pour.
Chester Kulesa has been in-
volved with this event since the
very beginning. He is the historic
site administrator for both the
Scranton Iron Furnaces and the Pa.
Anthracite Heritage Museum. He
is the go-to guy with all of the
administrative decisions.
We think that the biggest at-
traction will be the iron pour!
Kulesa said excitedly. However,
there are other industrial-arts
demonstrations as well throughout
the weekend.
There were many local and
national organizations and grants
that helped out to make all of the
Arts of Fire events possible. Some
of the sponsors include Arts EN-
GAGE!, Keystone College, Lacka-
wanna County and more. There
are also many others who have
helped organize the event.
Kulesa is very optimistic for this
upcoming Fire at the Furnaces
Event and the Arts on Fire Festival.
I amlooking forward to seeing
all of the people attend the events.
Having visitors fill the site is very
exciting and the atmosphere is so
festive! W

novel approach
W
e may think our secrets
are hidden, walled up
and masked from the
outside world. But soon a small
crack begins to show. This crack
grows into a large fissure, open-
ing up to allow for every one of
our secrets to be exposed.
Through this theme serving as
the foundation of suspense, Ellen
Ullman skillfully weaves her
novel By Blood.
In the novel, readers are trans-
ported back to 1970s San Fran-
cisco. Terror lingers with the
Zodiac Killer still at large, but
for these three characters, horror
is a story all their own.
We open to the narrator, an
obsessive-compulsive humanities
professor who has taken a leave
of absence in lieu of circulating
charges of misconduct. Next is
Dr. Dora Schussler, a psychother-
apist who may not be as clinical-
ly sound as some of her patients.
The third character and protago-
nist is Dr. Schusslers nameless
patient.
In an intricate and seamless
way, Ullman manages to inter-
twine these characters by a mat-
ter of square feet. The professors
off-campus office is far from
private. In fact, after renting it, he
realizes the space is so thinly
constructed that he can hear
voices coming from the room
bordering his own.
Even though the professors
office should be strictly business,
his curiosity grows when he
begins to fixate on the patient
finding himself intimately glued
to the wall of Dr. Schusslers
office, eavesdropping on private
conversations between her and
the identity-stricken patient.
I did not cause her any harm.
This was a great victory for me.
At the end of it, I was a changed
man.
The patient may at first seem
to be a lackluster financial ana-
lyst, but after examination, the
unreliable narrator finds that her
personal struggle with identity
becomes the key to all of the
characters understanding of
themselves.
The novel hinges on mystery
much of the time. In fact, readers
do not get to the details regarding
most of the characters until the
second half of the novel. While it
may not seem fast-paced in the
beginning, it is through the later
narrative that the characters
flourish.
In particular, the reader soon
recognizes that the narrators
compulsion toward the patient
develops into voyeurism. His
interest, which was once masked
by the wall, begins to unveil itself
to the outside world once he
starts leaving clues for the patient
to explore her bloodline.
In watching the story unfold,
readers experience the revelation
of identity for each of the charac-
ters. Ullman then leaves us with a
lesson at the end of all the soul-
searching: Once we know the
truth, we can never go back.

movie review
A
re there any Men in
Black superfans? As
popular as this franchise
may be, its difficult to picture
anyone being truly passionate
about these films. Sure, theres
probably somebody out there who
has dressed up as Agent J for
Comic-Con or regularly quotes
the movies around the home or
office, but have you ever met any
of these people? And if so, how
long ago was it?
Like most summer block-
busters, the Men in Black se-
ries is disposable its not some-
thing you anticipate or cherish,
its something unobjectionable
you take visiting relatives to
during summer holidays when
you can no longer deal with their
horrible, horrible faces. But, with
that said, lets give credit where
credit is due. The Men in Black
series is so steadfast in its medi-
ocrity that the law of diminishing
returns doesnt seem to apply.
Men in Black 3 is no better and
no worse than its previous entries.
And thats definitely good news
for any of you who arent seeing
this film just to avoid speaking to
your brother for 106 minutes.
Will Smith once again steps
into the role of MIB Agent J who
is forced into traveling back to a
very Mad Men-esque 1969 to
prevent a deranged alien known
as Boris the Animal (a surprising-
ly creepy Jemaine Clement) from
destroying Earth by killing his
crotchety partner K (played by
both Tommy Lee Jones and Josh
Brolin). Unfortunately, Smith is
aided in his quest by a grating and
unbearably precious fourth di-
mensional being (an unrecog-
nizable Michael Stuhlbarg) that
has the ability to not only see
alternate futures but also drone on
about them in punishing detail.
With the obvious exception of
Clement, everybody is on autopi-
lot here. Smiths casually tossed
off quips carry a one-take-only-
oh-lets-just-get-it-done vibe (at
one point he points to an alien
and says that it looks like it came
from planet damn), Jones looks
sad and annoyed as if he was still
angry with the producers for not
allowing him to shoot his scenes
from the comfort of his living
room couch, and Brolins impres-
sion of Jones is simply that: An
impression. They couldve gone
with Darrell Hammond or the
undead, shambling husk of Rich
Little and still gotten the same
results.
The most frustrating aspect
behind every Men in Black
movie is the fact that genuinely
funny and original material is too
often overpowered by the films
tired and hacky elements. How
tired and hacky? At one point a
character talks about the Viagrans
and their miracle pill. Ugh. Its
2012! There cant possibly be
anyone out there who still giggles
uncontrollably over the idea of
boner pills. And if there is, then
that person should be locked in a
closet with a Jay Leno monologue
until the very concept of boners
has lost all meaning.
Its trite chestnuts like the
above that marginalize the better
moments of Men in Black 3,
such as the scene where Andy
Warhol (Bill Hader) is revealed to
be a gruff MIB agent whose art is
nothing more than an in-joke he
no longer finds funny. However,
these scenes only serve to remind
you that the Men in Black
series is just quirky enough to
hide the fact that these films exist
only to be consumed and forgot-
ten by the time the next ready-
made blockbuster arrives in thea-
ters.

Eagle Posture

Molly Cornell, owner
Fitness classes offer a sense of
community and an ass kicking
By Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Staff Writer
B
eing physically t and wanting to be physically t are two different things.
It can be intimidating to walk into a gym alone, especially if you dont
have a clue as to where to begin, and that might keep many people from
taking the leap in the rst place.
But two trending tness regimes CrossFit and hot yoga use classes and a
welcoming, community-minded approach to make it easier to take that rst step.
Combining movements from gymnastics, weight-lifting, plyometrics, running
and more, CrossFit is sort of the antidote for gym boredom. And hot yoga takes the
familiar and adds a dose of high heat and humidity. We talked to a few local busi-
nesses specializing in the regimes, and each one has provided two moves that can be
expected from its classes.
Of course, this is just a little taste of what youd get if you decide to lose the
Doritos and don some spandex so dont try any of these at home without proper
equipment and instructors.

M
olly Cornell opened Melt
Hot Yoga in December. In
her studio, the temperature
is set to 105 degrees with 40 percent
humidity.
I think hot yoga has so many
medical and health benets, she said.
All yoga is good, but I think the heat
facilitates that detoxication, you get
faster results.
Cornell doesnt allow pregnant
women to take her classes because its
too risky, but otherwise, she thinks
hot yoga cures everything. And the
benets are far-reaching.
Weight loss, increasing lung capac-
ity, increasing the vitality of all your
internal organs, she shared. Its going
to bring you this mental clarity Its
also incredibly energizing.
O
pen since 2007, Steamtown
Yoga specializes in qigong and
90-minute hot yoga classes.
(Qigong) is based in traditional
Chinese medicine, said owner Lara
Rubin. The movements work internal-
ly the same way that yoga works, and
it does it in a less intense environment
than the hot yoga room Someone
whos looking for a more intense
practice with a group, theyre denitely
going to want to go to the yoga class.
Both practices, she noted, build
strength, endurance and exibility.
(Yoga) is something designed not
just to get into your muscles, but it
really starts to clean out the organs,
the glands and to get your endocrine
system functioning better, Rubin said.
The poses she chose came from the
Aregular yoga class talks more to
the spirit, and this is more about the
body.
In the standing separate leg head to
knee pose, the thyroid gland is stimu-
lated, regulating metabolism and sugar
cravings, while the eagle posture is
healing for 14 joints.
Cornells Tips on Getting
Ready for Hot Yoga:
Hydrate before you come in.
Know that its all levels in every
class, but you can leave the room or
sit down if you need a break. Dont
be intimidated, its an incred-
ibly welcoming environment in
there.
Wear the least amount of
clothing.

are used in qigong as well.
What both forms do is they really
address spinal health, she said. Ide-
ally, everyone should be moving the
spine every direction every day. Its
like anything else, use it or lose it.

CrossFit Scranton
(1008 N. Washington Ave., Scranton, 570.677.2532,
CrossFitScranton.com)
NEPA CrossFit
(125 Wilkes-Barre Blvd., Wilkes-Barre, 570.579.3544,
NepaCrossFit.com)
T
ommy Casey was a personal
trainer before opening CrossFit
Scranton about two years ago.
Now his gym, with 15 trainers, coaches
about 120 people in what he dened as
constantly varied functional move-
ment executed at high intensity.
Routine is the enemy, because then
youre only ready for the routine,
Casey explained.
CrossFit Scranton has a community
atmosphere, and the 55-minute classes
include all levels. The basic structure
involves a warm-up, explanation and
execution of the workout of the day
that can be scaled to an individuals
capability and cool down.
Everyone tells me about their
F
or the past three years, NEPA
CrossFit has been teaching
people how to move weight in
real-life situations, like changing tires
or picking up grandchildren.
To me, CrossFit means doing func-
tional movement, things you would see
out in the real world, fast, said Bren-
nan Morton, owner. And no days
ever the same.
NEPACrossFit offers a free intro-
ductory week where you work one-on-
one with a trainer, what Morton called
kind of an on-ramp program. Then
its essentially personal training at a
fraction of the cost, where classes last
45 minutes to an hour.
Basically, its a scale of weight, a
scale of repetition, a scale of move-
weight loss we call that a side
effect, Casey said. Somebody who
comes in here because they want to
look good in a bikini, theyre not go-
ing to go through what theyre going
through. If they want to have no pain
anymore, if they want to do good in a
sport, if they want something competi-
tive and a challenge, if they want to
stay strong for their kids, thats worth
this pain.
Caseys Keys to Getting
Started in CrossFit:
Dont be too afraid.
Fuel your body. All CrossFit is
based on proper nutrition.
Have fun. CrossFit is supposed to
be fun and effective, so nd a gym that
has both those things.
ment patterns, he shared, noting that
classes arent broken down according
to ability level.
And part of the draw has been the
social atmosphere.
Were a tness community more
than just a gym, said Morton. We
want to change a lifestyle.
Mortons Tips to Sticking with
CrossFit:
Bring a friend. If you can get
through the rst week with a friend,
youre hooked for life.
Plan your results for six months,
not six days.
Theres no such thing as pain-free
tness. Any new thing you try is going
to be slightly uncomfortable as your
body adjusts to it.

Educated eating
For a good workout, start at the bottom
T
he common conception about
the diets of most people would
probably be that theyre eating
too much. But according to Tammy
Greear, co-owner of NutriFitness,
thats not always the case.
Believe it or not, nine out of 10
people that come in here, theyre
not eating enough, she said. (And)
people are on a lot of fad diets, espe-
cially no carbs. I think people need to
be educated on good carbs versus bad
carbs and on what they do and how
they work for the body.
In addition to offering tness boot
camps, yoga, personal training and
specialized classes like Wirred and
Zen-Tempo, NutriFitness also provides
nutritional counseling.
When people sign up for member-
ships, we go over pretty extensively
their meal plan, because thats 75, 80
percent of the whole game, is the nutri-
tion aspect, Greear shared.
She noted that protein shakes are ben-
ecial, but supplements are overrated.
You can get all of your nutritional
needs through the foods that you eat,
she said.
And as for those fancy bars, like those
by Clif Bar & Company and Larabar?
You have to be careful as far as the
sugar content, a lot of articial avorings
and preservatives, Greear said. Really
pay attention, read your labels. Look for
sugar content and sodium content. And
the less the ingredients, the better it is
for you. And if you cant pronounce the
ingredient, walk away.
Greears Tips to Eating Well and
Sticking to It:
Know what foods to eat. If necessary,
consult a professional.
Plan ahead. Plan your meals for the
week if possible.
Keep motivated, surround yourself
with positive, supportive people. W

ood sneakers are an
absolute must when
working out. But
which ones are the
best? Five area tness experts
step up to answer.
Kristen Langan, personal
trainer/health and tness spe-
cialist, Fabulously Fit, Scranton
Proper footwear is essential.
You will need to replace your
sneakers, depending on how
often you workout or run, every
300 to 400 miles or three to
ve months.
My suggestions for sneak-
ers for classes would be either
Inov-8s or Nike Zoom Fly Sis-
ter One. They both have a very
exible sole so feet can move
easily. For general gym use, I
would suggest Mizuno Wave
Riders. Its a great all-around
gym/running shoe that gives
tremendous support.
Terese Culver, personal
trainer, Dankos All-American
Fitness, Plains Twp.
Id say my absolute must is
my pair of Nike Shox because
they really helped me run even
with shin splints. Id also sug-
gest any cross trainers or run-
ning shoes that offer support,
especially if your feet have
high arches.
Talia Walsh, tness instruc-
tor, Jaya Yoga and Uno Fitness,
Scranton
My Top Three sugges-
tions: 1. Asics Gel-Noosa Tri
7: Its like a party on your
foot! It gives extra support
and stability, especially for
over-pronating feet. 2. Sau-
cony Kinvara 2: I like them so
much, I bought two pair! They
are superlight, weighing in at
6.7 ounces with a sock-like t
and still have a lot of support.
Their close-to-the-road feel
makes running feel effortless!
3. Vibram FiveFinger: They al-
low the foot to move and work
in a completely natural way,
utilizing the arch of your foot
as a shock absorber instead of
your shoe, while providing grip
and protection over a variety of
surfaces.
Rochelle Poszeluznyj,
tness instructor, Odyssey Fit-
ness, Wilkes-Barre
My favorite workout sneak-
ers are Nike Shox. I have high
arches and narrow feet. These
trainers give me the best sup-
port and stability. I do cross
training, running and weight
lifting in these. Another thing
that I nd really helps the
shoe be amazing is the perfect
running/workout sock. Dont
be afraid to spend money on a
good sock. Its worth it in the
long run. I recommend Lulu-
lemon.
Carmen Insalaco, owner,
Big Bear Fitness, Dallas
My top three are NB, Nike
and Adidas. All three have
every type of sneaker you need.
For beginners, I recommend a
cross-trainer sneaker, which is
a great shoe for all activities
like running, walking, aero-
bics, spinning and even hiking.
Nike has a great weightlift-
ing sneaker called Romaleos
that will help you in stability,
strength and great support. If
you like doing all activities,
then the cross trainer by Nike,
Adidas and NB should be your
choice.

Its a commitment to sustain-

ability, said Deb Shoval,
project director and founder
of Fertile Grounds Community
Supported Agriculture (CSA),
when the Weekender visited the
land last week. People arent
going to stop eating. And if you
dont pollute the soil, if you build
the soil fertility its going
to be better to farm it there in 20
years than it is now.
A CSA is a food system com-
parable to a subscription to a
gym or magazine: Members pay
up front and, in this case, receive
a weekly share of locally grown
produce.
Beginning June 6, members
pick up a box every Wednesday
at designated times at either The
Lands at Hillside Farms in Sha-
vertown or the Wilkes-Barre
Family YMCA. The cost is $500
at the start or $100 monthly until
the fee is paid off. Theres also a
special price for those with food
stamps or on other assistance
programs.
By joining the CSA, which
currently has 90 members and
can accept 150, you commit to
the risks and the rewards that
come along with farming. The
pricing works out to $22 per
week, typically feeding a four-
person family. Since members
pay up front and essentially be-
come shareholders, this type of
program also benefits the farm-
ers.
I think historically its pretty
clear that farmers have always
struggled economically, Shoval
said. Think about the Wilkes-
Barre Farmers Market. It doesnt
even start until the third week in
June. And you see how much all
those people need to be paid, all
those seeds need to be ordered
and started and all of that, and so
to have that money up front and
to be able to know who our cus-
tomers are going to be is a much
better economic situation.
The CSA, which is in its sec-
ond season, will provide every-
thing from beets, beans and basil
to radishes, zucchini and cucum-
bers until the last pick-up date on
October 31, all harvested from
two leased multi-acre fields and
a greenhouse in Noxen. Theres
also a one-acre pick-your-own
crop for CSA members at The
Lands at Hillside Farms.
Right now, Fertile Grounds
uses environmentally friendly,
non-certified organic methods,
but theyre only non-certified in
name, not practice. That will
soon change.
We are probably, by the end
of this season for sure, going to
be certified, Shoval explained.
With the membership farm that
we have, everyones local, so
people are welcome to visit any
time, ask us any questions, so to
pay the cost of certification, it
doesnt really make sense be-
cause people know where their
food is coming from.
But now we are going to start
doing two markets in New York
City starting in July I feel like
there, it would really help to have
that stamp and be able to charge
more, because costs of organic
farming are high.
Not to mention time-consum-
ing, even with 14 employees. But
the payoff is worth it, not only in
terms of physical and environ-
mental health, but also fiscal
growth.
Its what you want to eat,
right? You want to eat food thats
grown in healthy ways, Shoval
said. But beyond that, I also feel
like I am trying to demonstrate
that sustainable agriculture or
organic farming could be an
actual, viable way for people to
make a living around here.
When Fertile Grounds takes its
products to New York City, it
will mainly be selling its line of
salad dressing and pesto. Cur-
rently, those products are avail-
able at Forks Farm Market in
Orangeville (forksfarmmar-
ket.com).
As for future goals, Shoval
hopes to diversify the line of
value-added products along with
furthering the reach of the CSA.
I think the main goal is grow-
ing the CSA to 500 members,
she shared. I feel like the num-
bers really start to make sense
around 400 members; we could
be paying people a living wage,
giving people health insurance,
investing in new equipment. W

By Rachel A. Pugh
Weekender General Manager
A
n avid antique shopper, Sara
Scutt of Moscow relates
to the 1920s style with a
rebellious yet whimsical look.
Completely addicted to shopping and
with her own online shop, Nevermore
Vintage, on Etsy the 27 year old
is constantly on the lookout for new
and old items to replace her constantly
cleaned-out closet.
Scutt keeps her style evolving,
creating fresh new looks for her eclectic,
yet nostalgic sense of style.
Favorite place to shop: Thrift
stores, Marshalls and eBay.
Fashion pet peeve: Pajamas being
worn out of the house.
One item youd never part with:
Ablack clutch. Itll match any outt and
can go from day to evening.
WEEKENDER: How would you
describe your look?
SCUTT: Id call it modern-day
vintage but on a budget. You dont have
to pay a lot of money to get the look that
you want. I like to mix pieces that Ive
found at thrift shops with new items.
I also like to add some sort of quirky
feature that makes the outt unique,
such as a bold pattern like stripes and
Modern-day vintage
an unusual accessory like a necklace
upcycled from found objects.
WEEKENDER: What do you tend
to buy the most of?
SCUTT: Dresses. My closet is full of
dresses from the 1940s to modern styles.
Whenever I go shopping, even if all I
need are jeans or a shirt, chances are that
Ill be leaving the store with at least one
dress. Theyre my fashion weakness.
WEEKENDER: If you could redo
your entire wardrobe, what would
you fll your closet with?
SCUTT: Id probably invest in more
business-casual clothes. The older that
I get, the more that I like the look of the
1940s secretary, mixing blouses, scarves
and pencil skirts.
WEEKENDER: Any there any
really unique items in your closet?
SCUTT: I go antiquing a few times
a month. I collect vintage corsets and
lingerie because theyre beautifully
made with so much time and care going
into those pieces. I found a rare 1940s
black satin corselet, in perfect condition.
Its worth 10 times more than what I
paid for it. It was denitely a once-in-a-
lifetime nd.
WEEKENDER: Whats your most
sentimental accessory?
SCUTT: I wear my grandmothers
ring almost every day. Its a vintage
silver-spoon ring, adjustable so it ts
perfectly. It makes me feel closer to her
and keeps her memory alive.
WEEKENDER: Whats your
favorite decade of fashion?
SCUTT: Hands down, the 1920s.
It was a time of Gothic-inuence and
womens fashion was starting to rebel.
I love the dark colors, the bold makeup,
the elegantly pin-curled hair. The way
the men even dressed was classic and
sophisticated.
WEEKENDER: If you could wear
one item every day, what would it
be and why?
SCUTT: I recently discovered the
power and convenience of a maxi dress.
If I owned more than one, Id wear them
every day. You can wake up, throw one
on, maybe add an accessory or two
and be on your way. Theyre also long
enough that you dont have to worry
about the wind blowing your skirt up
and showing a little too much leg.
WEEKENDER: How often do you
clean out your closet and make
room for new items?
SCUTT: I clean out my closet at least
once every two weeks. I sell vintage
and new clothing on eBay, which then
gives me the money from selling my old
clothes to put toward a new piece for
my closet. Its a wonderful system for
supporting my shopping addiction.
WEEKENDER: Tell us about your
Etsy shop.
SCUTT: My mother and I own and
run a shop on Etsy called Nevermore
Vintage. We sell everything from mens
and womens clothing, jewelry, hats,
purses, home decor and knickknacks.
We mostly specialize in items made
between the 1950s and 1970s. We add
new pieces to the shop every week, so
theres always something different to
catch your eye. Our nevermorevintage.
etsy.com.
WEEKENDER: Whats one
fashion tip youd give to women?
SCUTT: Be true to who you are.
Look at photos from past decades for
fashion ideas that worked back then
and will work again now. Also, dont
be afraid to shop for your clothing or
accessories from antique or thrift shops.
You never know what you might nd. W

skirt, a Hells Belles purse, a Sweet
Love cardigan and shoes by Iron
Fist.

One Clothing top, a Hells Belles

This outft features a Candies skirt,

shoes, 1950s La France purse and
a necklace Sara made.
Sara wears Mossimo maxi dress, a
1960s hat by Mr. Johnson, a vintage

Sean
El Guero
Stahl,
Moosic
S
ean El Guero Stahl has pierced a lot of bodies.
With his work appearing on MTV and soon-to-
be seen in Pain Magazine, Seans art form is
nationally known.
Born in Illinois and raised in Washington, Sean moved
to NEPAfrom San Diego, where his former shop was
named one of the best body-piercing shops in the city.
Sean now calls Art Rage Tattoo Studio in Moosic home, so
nd out more about one of NEPAs newest residents.
Age: 24
Three interesting facts about yourself: Im a
leukemia survivor, I speak Spanish pretty well, and I play
the jazz ute OK, Im kidding about the jazz ute.
Awards/honors/distinctions: Im in the San Diego
Hall of Champions Sports Museum at Balboa Park, and
I won 4-H Best of Show at the Washington State Fair in
1993 for my pot-bellied pig named Tigger true story.
Hobbies: I like to do photography, like trick shots
and playing with different angles. Fishing, but only river
shing; lake shing is boring. Charity work, hey, its
rewarding knowing youre making a difference in the
community even if the community sees you as deviant.
Current projects: Im working on getting a photo
shoot scheduled for promotional reasons as well as
submissions for tattoo and piercing magazines. One of
my corset piercings will be in Pain Magazine, a tattoo
and piercing monthly circulatory. Im also working on
screenwriting for a TV show idea I have, but I wont reveal
what its about.
Most bizarre piercing youve created: I did 23
dermal anchor piercings on a girls stomach in a pattern. I
was at a convention in Los Angeles, and it took four hours.
Any piercings done on famous people? I pierced
one of Tila Tequilas contestants, the lead guitarists from
Fly Leaf, and I pierced a gay porn star. I dont remember
his name, but not everyday you get to say that.
Favorite type of piercing on your own body: I
dont have them in anymore, but the hooks in my back
from being suspended no, not suspended as in got
in trouble at school, but suspended as in lifted off the
ground by my esh.
What did you want to be when you grew up? I
wanted to be a pro-football player, but wasnt tall enough
despite my stats as a player.
Favorite quote: Isnt it a bit unnerving that doctors
call what they do practice? George Carlin
Favorite song: Bleed the Freak Alice in Chains
Where to fnd more info about you: Currently
you can view my portfolio as well as all things Sean on
Facebook.com/SeanElGuero. Im working on a website
that I hope to have up sometime soon. ...

By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender
A
s reunited boy bands like
NewKids on the Block
and Backstreet Boys
continue to tour, other boy bands
like 98 Degrees contemplate a
reunion and newboy bands like
The Wanted and One Direction
find success in the States, there is
yet another group still plotting its
comeback.
Were in the process of getting
(the reunion) green-lit by MTV,
Alex Solowitz revealed on The
Ralphie Radio Show. Alex
played Mickey Parke in the faux-
boy band 2Gether. We have all
the original songwriters, everybo-
dy is on board. All the producers
that we had are on board.
It seems as if the last piece in
the puzzle is the network. Solo-
witz said MTVlikes the idea and
is just waiting to see howmuch
more interest the guys can gener-
ate.
I think theres a good place for
us at MTV, Solowitz said. We
can have some pregnant teenag-
ers, if they want. We can get some
Jersey Shore dudes, too.
Nice to see that Solowitz hasnt
lost his sense of humor or that
edge that his character Mickey
displayed more than10 years ago
with 2Gether. Noah Bastian,
Evan Farmer and Kevin Farley
are also on tap for the reunion;
Michael Cuccione passed away
after battling cancer in 2001.
Earlier this month, the guys got
back together for a small teaser
showat the Jon Lovitz Comedy
Club Universal City, Calif.
Evan (couldnt) make it be-
cause hes having a baby, hes got
a newborn coming, Solowitz
said.
Who wouldve thought that you
plus me would end up equaling a
baby?
MEETHOODIEALLEN
Youve heard of the white kid
going to college and doing well
for himself in the hip-hop and
r&b game before, but have you
heard of the Ivy League graduate
who worked at Google before
quitting, dropping mixtapes and
independently rapping his way to
the No. 1albumon iTunes?
Didnt think so. Meet Hoodie
Allen, born Steven Markowitz in
Long Island, N.Y.
That EP, All American,
topped the iTunes charts mere
hours after Allen released it. The
University of Pennsylvania
alumnus told me via telephone
that his fans support never ceases
to surprise him.
Its been really cool to control
the creative process, and put out
what I like, and be my own
A&R, Allen said. Its just nice
to see the follow-through, and
everyone really loves the album.
Thats been the most rewarding
part of it.
Allen already declined multiple
major record label deals and
showcasing his capacity to move
units with no commercial ma-
chine backing himonly has the
industry, and apparently others,
salivating over himeven more.
You know, Ive started getting
a lot of friend requests fromgirls I
went to Penn with who were too
cool for me then, but nowthey
want to be my friend. I guess Im
doing something right. W

AGENDA, FROM PAGE 45
sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
Weekender Correspondent
D
ear Mom & Dad,
Im grateful that when
I was growing up, I
never heard the word No.
Despite how ambitious I could
get, you always said, Yes, you
can! The confidence you had
in me allowed me to grow up
with the confidence to do what
I wanted and never back down.
I cant count how many
people did tell me No
through the years.
You cant combine humor
with delivering entertainment
news, This isnt amateur
hour at the comedy club,
Nobody wants to hear it,
No, No, No! I was endlessly
told by the head of my college
TV station.
I passionately disagreed, so I
told him to bite me and deliv-
ered the news how I saw fit
for the rest of the school year.
Two years later, my out-of-the
box ideology helped me beat
out thousands of candidates to
intern at the worlds largest
entertainment news provider: E!
Entertainment! In yo face!
To be honest, I cant tell
you how many times Ive told
people to bite me when they
told me I couldnt do some-
thing. I started to realize that
if people actually took me up
on the offer, there would be
nothing left of me to bite. So
I decided I needed to give
them something to chew on
the next time I tell someone to
bite me and got my own flavor
of Ritas Italian Ice.
Thats right! Ritas Italian
Ice, on the Scranton/Carbon-
dale Highway in Dickson City,
is honoring me with my own
flavor of delicious ice. I re-
member making you drive me
to the seasonal opening of
Ritas every year growing up,
even having to eat it in the car
with the heat on one year
because it was snowing out-
side.
All summer long, exclusively
at the Dickson City location,
people throughout NEPA can
literally bite me by trying the
newest flavor called Sorry
Mom & Dad. Consisting of
3/4 margarita-flavored ice,
topped with 1/4 mango fla-
vored ice, its so delicious that
anyone who tries it will feel
so guilty for knowing what
heaven tastes like that theyll
feel like they have to apologize
to their parents afterwards.
Thug life! The flavor launches
Sunday, June 3, when Ill be
dishing it out between 2-4
p.m.
Thanks for teaching me to
never say no to myself. After
all, if you have the guts to do
something different, they just
might start naming shit after
you.
Love,
Justin W
NEPA can get a taste of Justin at the Ritas Italian Ice

bitch & brag
By Jeff and Amanda of 98.5 KRZ
Special to the Weekender
Amandas Bitch:
Because this happened to me
multiple times over the past
few weeks, its fresh on my
mind, and Im ready to bitch.
Maybe this is a sign from up
above that I shouldnt be eating
convenient, pre-packaged food
or something, but how dis-
appointing is it to go to open
up your lunch only to find that
the seal on whatever it is has a
tear and is no good?
That is so annoying, espe-
cially when youre in a pinch
for time. Im all about easy,
go-to lunch at work and Smart
Ones are usually what I call
lunch. Most of their frozen
meals pack less than 300 calo-
ries and are generally good
until you realize that, some-
how, the cover of the meal
separated from its container
while chillin in the freezer,
and you, unfortunately, have no
lunch now. So annoying!
I almost sucked it up and
threw it in the microwave any-
way last week until I noticed
the broken seal made it freezer
burned. The people who make
these makeshift meals should
really rethink the way they
package their stuff because I
know I, for one, am throwing
money in the garbage every
time I have to toss them out
because theyre bad.
Jeffs Brag:
Growing up on the north
shore of Boston, I grew up
eating fresh seafood. I love it
from shrimp to scallops to
lobster to haddock! Ive always
been really disappointed in
what this area offers for sea-
food. While we excel at Italian
restaurants, most places offer
up seafood that tastes like they
heated up some Mrs. Pauls
fish sticks.
Then, a few weeks ago, sim-
ply by chance, I wandered into
Doc Magrogans Oyster House
at the Shoppes at Montage in
Moosic. I felt right at home!
The menu is huge and rea-
sonably priced. The atmo-
sphere is pretty relaxed and
calm for a big and popular
place. And the food is excep-
tional! I have been there sever-
al times in recent weeks and
never left disappointed.
There are a few other things
that left a huge impression on
me. I am a stickler for courtesy
and good service. The entire
staff at the Oyster House is
attentive, efficient and incred-
ibly pleasant. Even the bar-
tender yells, Hi and Good-
bye as you leave! Why dont
all restaurants hire this way?
I also love that theyre open
until 11 p.m. Restaurants in this
area love to roll up the side-
walk around 9 oclock or so.
Thats too small town-ish for
my liking. And the Oyster
House even has tables out on
the patio for the summer
ahead.
Seriously, if youre serious
about seafood, take a ride to
the Montage Mountain exit on
Interstate 81 and drop by Doc
Magrogans Oyster House.
Ironically, I am still yet to try
the oysters, and you know what
they say about oysters, right?
Maybe its best I dont W
Jeff finally found a local seafood place he wont have to be crabby about. Get it?
Amanda might need to think outside the freezer for
lunch.

get your game on
By Robbie Vanderveken
Special to the Weekender
I
have to be honest: I am not
much of a PC gamer. I usually
just play console games, but
Diablo is a classic, so I have to
try the new one.
Diablo is a fun point-and-
click action role-playing game
(sometimes know as hack and
slash, or dungeon-crawling
game). The series focuses on the
battle between the humans and
Prime Evils, demons who are led
by Diablo. The story is better
than its predecessor, even though
its filled with lots of cliches. The
story merely serves as a way to
tie together the dungeons and
quests in your hunt for loot and a
reason to take on more quests.
The story isnt the real reason
most play Diablo. You play
because of the addictive game-
play, exploring dungeons, collect-
ing loot and killing anything that
moves. Diablo is a classic, and
it has inspired a countless num-
ber of games. It has been 12 years
since Diablo 2 and people are
still playing it that is a testa-
ment to the quality, and Diablo
3 doesnt disappoint.
Diablo 3 features five char-
acters classes: Four new ones
(wizard, monk, demon hunter,
witch doctor) and the returning
Barbarian from Diablo 2. One
cool thing is that the new game
incorporates all sorts of new play
style options into each class.
Each character also has a fuel
special ability which adds anoth-
er layer to the gameplay.
The new character classes feel
similar to the old ones but with a
slew of new abilities. If you liked
playing as the sorcerer, then the
wizard will be your new charac-
ter. The monk is an unusual but
exciting addition, using extreme
speed and powerful combos to
beat down enemies, however,
they arent great for ranged com-
bat. The demon hunters use
cross-bows and can use bombs
and gadgets. The fourth new
class is the witch doctor, which is
the most-impressive new entry.
He can call on all sorts of
minions to fight for him; zom-
bies, spiders and acid clouds just
to name a few.
Not much has changed in the
gameplay, you use your mouse to
move and trigger attacks and the
number keys to activate abilities.
Its actually quite easy on the
normal difficulty levels but can
be ridiculous on the nightmare
difficulty.
The biggest change to the core
of the game is the addition of
blacksmiths, jewelers and real-
money auctions. The blacksmith
can break items down into their
components that can be sold or
used to make other items. Jew-
elers are similar to smiths but
they create gems.
If you dont plan on selling
your items or using them at the
smith, you can auction the item
off for real-world money. I dont
know why people would spend
real money on something like
this, but if you want some power-
ful items and dont want to work
for them you can buy them.
One of the main selling points
for me is the randomly generated
dungeons and loot; this insures
the gameplay will be fresh for
years. This substantially increases
replay value as long as you
dont get bored, you can play it
forever.
There wasnt too much wrong
with the game that I could see,
there is no PvP, which was a
popular mode in Diablo 2. Its
weird that they would get rid of
that. Diablo 3 is an amazing
game, it is accessible to new-
comers and a must-play for fans
of the series. The graphics are
great, especially the cut scenes.
The action is addictive, and its a
loot-collectors wet dream. What
more could you ask for? W

HOT DOG!
The 4th Annual Jimmy
Buffet Party will be held
Saturday, June 2 from 5-8
p.m. at Cavanaughs Grille
(163 North Main St., Moun-
tain Top).
But even more enticing
than some summery music is
the associated Hot Dog Eat-
ing Contest, which starts at
5:30 p.m. and features dogs,
300 of them to be exact,
from Abes in Mountain
Top. Participants will eat 10
hot dogs and prizes will be
awarded for first, second and
third-fastest eaters. Interested
eaters can register for the
contest by 5 p.m. Saturday.
Last year, there was well
over 20 participants, shared
coordinator Kim Davis, who
did not partake in the con-
test. My husband, Ken, did.
He came in third.
The evening also includes
a DJ, food and drink spe-
cials, games, raffles and
more. Cost to attend is $10,
and all proceeds benefit the
Medical Oncology Associ-
ates Prescription Assistance
Fund in Kingston, which is
the doctor of Danielle Cava-
naugh, who is battling
breast cancer.
TUNA: A NEW
SUMMER STAPLE?
Now that summer is pretty
much officially upon us, its
time to think about grilling.
Well, in my household, its
time for me to watch some-
one do the grilling, but I
digress.
In my ever-continuing
quest to eat healthier (and as
meatless as possible), I was
excited when I found myself
on the receiving end of a
press release from Chicken
of the Sea tuna that boasted
swimsuit-friendly recipes
under 500 calories.
Even as a fledgling
vegetarian, Im with
you if you find it
hard to imagine fir-
ing up the grill for
anything but hot
dogs and hamburgers,
but after perusing the
recipes, I look forward
to trying them all
and yes, theyre that easy
even I could make them!
Here are a few of the dis-
hes that caught my eye. You
can find these recipes and
more at chickenofthesea.com.
Chicken of the Sea
Cajun tuna burgers
This burger is just 417
calories can a real burger
say that? Well, not with all
the toppings I usually end
up putting on them. But with
hot pepper sauce and Cajun
seasoning included in the
mix, all youll need is a bun
or some lettuce if youre
that kind of strong-willed,
non-carb-eating person.
Chicken of the Sea
chunky tuna potato salad
Im not one for potato
salad usually, but this just
sounds so good, especially
since it goes the mayo-free
route and relies on
fresh dill and
vinegar for
flavoring. And
being sans
mayo, each
serving is
just 105 calo-
ries leaving
more than
enough room to
spare for ice
cream.
Chicken of the Sea
avocado tuna sandwich
One of my favorite foods
is avocado, so Im always
looking for new ways to
experiment beyond my stand-
by guacamole. This 370-
calorie sandwich (minus the
onion, of course) looks like
a yummy place to start.
Alaskan salmon ciabat-
ta sandwiches
This 460-calorie sandwich
includes red and green bell
peppers, cucumber, nonfat
yogurt, light mayo, fresh dill
and fresh mint whats not
to love?
Chicken of the Sea
country Dijon tuna pasta
salad
Ive been making the same
the exact same pasta
salad for eons, and this dish,
which uses yogurt in place
of mayo and some zippy
Dijon mustard sounds like a
refreshing change of pace,
with 213 calories per serv-
ing. W

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
Different things have different learning
curves. Some activities, like oil painting or
martial arts, have lengthy, slow curves
requiring practice and persistence. You
might be able to punch through a sheet of
paper on your first day, but putting your
fist through a 2x4 is going to take a long
while to work up to. On the other hand,
there are useful skills such as riding a
bike or cooking a nice meal that you
can absolutely learn in a few hours. Rec-
ognize which kind of activity youre be-
ginning now, and adjust your patience
accordingly; your happiness depends on it.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
Youre allowed to fall in love, you know.
Sometimes, when youre on the verge, you
just sort of fearfully hover noncommittally.
You get bashful about adoration the way
some people get pee-shy in public res-
trooms. Luckily, the latest object of your
adulation enjoys worship in small dos-
es, anyway. Its an ideal situation for you
to overcome your inhibitions about being
swooningly, obnoxiously in love. I expect
the average romantic temperature of your
life to rise by at least a couple degrees this
month and for some days to reach highs
you didnt know you could stand.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
This week you might feel like youre
slipping backwards down a steep, endless,
twisting slide. Instead of grappling desper-
ately at the sides or vainly trying to brace
your feet, why not accept your fate? Whos
to say that what lies at the bottom is worse
than what you left at the top? Remember
the last time you were booted from your
boyfriends apartment or fired from a job?
Lucky you something wonderfully
fabulous usually happens before you hit
the sidewalk. Since theres no stopping
you in your brilliant tumble to the next
chapter, is there any way you can just relax
and enjoy the euphoric thrill of the ride?
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
When you cast your nets this wide,
youre bound to catch more fish than you
need. Some weeks (like this one), you
cant throw them back fast enough. Youll
have wide-eyed victims of your charms
flopping around in front of you, gasping
for breath. You might consider converting
to line fishing for a month or so, since
your hook is so well baited. If not, at least
reduce the amount of netting you have
trawling through the sea. Otherwise, you
might be so busy returning rejects to the
ocean that the big, juicy fish you intended
to keep might slip away before you have a
chance to enjoy them.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Tonight, don your cloak of invisibility,
and go out. Revel in all the lovely things
you can see and juicy secrets you can
uncover when youre trying very hard to
not be noticed (for a change). Later this
week, pretend you have laryngitis and can
only speak when absolutely necessary.
Turn yourself inside out if you can, trans-
form your extroversion to introversion. All
of this is required if you are to rediscover
the humanity and kindness youve been
missing and which your cynicism has
almost killed. See you next week (but not
this one), wallflower.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Imagine yourself hiking along the lip of
a seething, only barely dormant volcano.
The deep crater yawns next to you, a gur-
gling throat of barely restrained lava
threatening destruction at any time. The
Hawaiian volcano goddess is called Pele.
Regardless of what you call yours, she or
he is someone youd rather be an ally than
an enemy trust me. Its all or nothing
with this one. Make every proper sacri-
fice, offering and prayer to garner their
protection and aid and possibly adoration
and affection. Dont know whats re-
quired? Just ask. She or hes in just the
right mood to tell you.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
You dont have many allies this week,
but then again, you dont need them. Just
think of yourself as the one who got left
behind when the rest of the Avengers went
off to fight their arch-nemesis on the other
side of the planet. Youre left to pursue
your own solo adventure, saving the world
while your team discovers that the threat
they went to combat was actually just a
ruse, a distraction from the real danger.
This time you get to save everyone on
your own, with no one else even trying to
hog the credit.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
Make do. Youve heard the adage, Ne-
cessity is the mother of invention. A sieve
will serve as well as a colander. A paring
knife will do when you cant find your
scissors. Replacing objects is easy, espe-
cially for someone as frugal, resourceful
and practical as you. But what about com-
ing up with vivid compensation for the
absent emotional or mental stimulus
youve been craving? Television and the
Internet pale in comparison to real, live,
warm human beings who care about you.
The good news: There are more of them
than you think, standing by to step in and
fill the gap. All you need to do is ask.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Frivolous extravagance isnt really your
style, particularly when it comes to ro-
mance. Buying bouquets of roses or writ-
ing sappy love letters just feels cheesy.
You just have different priorities; youd
rather save your money for an adventure
for two in some wonderfully exotic loca-
tion. However, since your rare grand ges-
tures and frequent subtle ones can un-
fortunately be eclipsed by the ferociously
romantic images that surround us in mo-
vies and on bad TV shows, it might be-
hoove you to go pick some wildflowers or
compose a haiku of adoration once in a
while. Try that this week.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
A nature hike has me marveling; the
pond teems with tiny fish, the air buzzes
with countless drowsy crickets, and frogs
leap away from my giant, clumsy feet.
Yellow flowers nod their crumpled faces
like agreeable old people. Dogs bark in the
distance. A dragonfly zips by in a magenta
streak. Feel like your life is slightly dead
or empty? Go forth, zombie, and actually
take note of whats around you. Theres
marvelous life in the cracks of the con-
crete sidewalk, in the smiling face of that
woman on the street corner, in the fleas on
her dog, even inside you. Slow down and
find it.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
Flaunt your horns. One of the elements
of a successful seduction is danger, mys-
tery, adventure. For example, let us exam-
ine two of the sexiest signs: Scorpio and
Pisces. For those fast folk who flit capri-
ciously to be consumed by Scorp like
moths immolated in a flame, its that pos-
sible sting that inexorably attracts. Or
those who drift helplessly into Pisces
hypnotic grasp can feel the potential of
drowning in his or her cloudy emotional
depths. So start showing off those fierce
horns, baby. Sure, itll scare some folks
away. But youre hardly a suitable match
for the weak of heart anyway, now are
you?
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
Although you can be as contagious and
inconvenient as poison ivy at times,
youve kept an exceptionally low profile
lately. Lurking like a toadstool among
daisies, youve been taking notes and
spreading spore. Pretty soon, though,
youll bloom. Like a passionflower, or an
exotic bird-of-paradise, youll outshine
those simple daisies, appearing as precious
and rare as an orchid. Go to bed happy. In
the morning youll awaken a beautiful
butterfly. Displaying your beauty and
appeal will attract your share of predators
and sheep, though, so youd better hide
poison darts in your nectar-sipping pro-
boscis or switchblades behind your petals
some way of keeping those worship-
pers in line. W
