Letter from the editor
Several years ago, in an at-
tempt to get fit, I took up running
for the first time. It became so
serious an addiction of mine that
I would sometimes wake up in
the middle of the night to check
the clock to see how much longer
it would be until my alarm finally
went off at 5:30 a.m.
I loved running first thing in
the morning, long before most
people were even moving about
their cabins. Not only was it a
great way to get in shape, but it
was an amazing stress reliever as
well. Running became something
I did daily, until I got sidelined
by the flu. After I felt better, I
found that getting back into the
groove wasnt as easy as it used
to be. Thus, my love affair with
running ended, but even today,
whenever I see a
runner, I wistfully
watch them for a
minute and fond-
ly remember The
Time I Was A
Runner.
As you might
gather from our
cover image, this
weeks cover
story is about
running in
three upcoming
races, actually.
But much more
than being just
another local run, the Valleys
Fastest Man competition aims to
help raise awareness for the
under-the-radar plight of orphans
and foster children, as well as
other adoption initiatives. Find
out more on pages 16-17.
Also in this weeks issue, you
can read about The Bark of the
Underdogs, a play written by
and starring a Forty Fort native
(p. 52), get some fashion Tips
From A Barbie Chick (p. 41) and
much more, but youll have to
find those pages yourself.
Thanks for reading!

I eat Chef Boyardee Pizza. I
just cant get off the stuff.
Biting my nails. Playing with my beard.
Shopping. Refusing to eat leftovers.
I have many bad habits, but the
worst is that Im kind of a slob.
I put drink bottles back in the
fridge even though theres only a
tiny bit left.
I drink too much soda. But it is a
gift from the gods.
Biting my nails, speaking like a
sailor
Whats your worst habit?

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
SEDUCTIVE SEND OFFS
For years, many traditional
funerals in Taiwan especially
in rural areas or among working
classes have included pop
singers and bikinied dancers,
supposedly to entertain the
ghosts that will protect the de-
ceased in the afterlife. According
to a recent documentary by an-
thropologist Marc Moskowitz,
some of the dancers until 20
years ago were strippers who did
lap dances with funeral guests,
until the government made such
behavior illegal. Contemporary
song-and-dance shows, like the
traveling Electric Flower Car,
supposedly appeal to lower
gods who help cleanse the de-
ceased of the more mundane
vices such as gambling and pros-
titution (compared to the high-
er gods who focus on morality
and righteousness).
CANT POSSIBLY BE TRUE
-- Californias state and local
governments are rarely discussed
these days without the pall of
budget cuts looming, but appar-
ently the Los Angeles County
Museum of Art is safe because it
is spending a reported $1.5 mil-
lion to move a big rock in from
Riverside, about 60 miles away.
Its a 340-ton boulder that the
museum intends to display above
a sidewalk (Levitated Mass).
The move will require a 200-
foot-long trailer with 200 tires,
with one semi-tractor pulling and
one pushing, at night, maximum
speed 8 mph.
-- Tennessee State Rep. Julia
Hurley apologized in July and
said she would pay for the refin-
ishing of her desk in the legisla-
tive chamber after it was revealed
that she had carved her initials in
it during a January session. It
was like one in the morning on
the last day of the session, she
told WSMV-TV. I wasnt think-
ing straight. Rep. Hurley, 29,
who has a daughter, 14, unseated
a nine-term incumbent legislator
in 2010 with a campaign that
touted her time as a Hooters
waitress. If I could make it at
Hooters, she wrote in the restau-
rants magazine, I could make it
anywhere.
-- In June, the California Court
of Appeals threw out the three
counts of possession of child
pornography for which Joseph
Gerber had been convicted, even
though what Gerber had done
was paste face shots of his own
13-year-old daughter onto ordi-
nary pornographic photos. The
U.S. Supreme Court decided in
2002 that a conviction for mak-
ing child pornography requires
actual sexual abuse. (Gerber had
also been convicted of supplying
the daughter with drugs and the
court ordered Gerber re-sen-
tenced.)
Helping Disaster Victims
(1) In May, following near-
record floods in fields south of
Montreal, Quebec, farmer Martin
Reid made sure to apply for his
fishing license because he had
learned the hard way that when
his land gets flooded, he cannot
remove the fish washed onto it
unless he is a licensed fisherman.
After flooding in 1993, Reid and
his father failed to secure a li-
cense and were fined $1,000. A
second offense brings a fine of
$100,000. (2) Two weeks after
the catastrophic April tornadoes
hit Alabama and neighboring
states, Bailey Brothers Music Co.
of Birmingham offered to help.
To soothe those suffering depres-
sion and grief from devastating
property losses, Bailey Brothers
sponsored weekly drum circles.
POLICE BLOTTER
-- Must Be Guilty: Arrested in
Woodbridge, Va., in July for
burglary after being discovered
by police inside the MVC Late
Night adult store: U.S. Army
officer Justin Dale Little Jim, 28
(who was found physically en-
gaged with a blow-up doll).
Little Jims chances for acquittal
are slim under News of the
Weirds insightful theory of crim-
inal culpability known as the
Three First Names hypothesis.

A NEWS OF THE WEIRD
CLASSIC (MARCH 2002)
Board-certified Kansas City,
Mo., psychiatrist (and University
of Kansas School of Medicine
graduate) Dr. Donald Hinton told
reporters in February (2002) that
Elvis Aron Presley, the enter-
tainer (whom) everybody be-
lieves died in 1977, is alive and
that Hinton has been treating him
for migraine headaches, among
other things, for five years. Hin-
ton, 35, said he has several items
from Presley containing his DNA
and has continually denied that
hes running a scam. An Elvis
Presley Enterprises official was
unfazed, insisting that Elvis is
still in the garden (at Grace-
land). (Update: Dr. Hinton sub-
sequently self-published a book,
co-authored with Elvis, explain-
ing their relationship, and was
subsequently investigated by the
Missouri Healing Arts Board,
which ultimately closed the in-
vestigation without charges.) W

A Singaporean army draftee caused a
public stir in March when he was photo-
graphed by a visitor as he underwent
physical training in army fatigues but
with his maid following behind him carry-
ing his backpack on her shoulders. (Army
officials told reporters the draftee had
since been counsel(ed).)

HOSPITAL GRADE STERILIZATION
The Gamer
By Dale Culp
Weekender Correspondent
Ladies and gentlemen, says

an eerily sneering, animated
human silhouette set against
a misty background and barren
landscape as a crescent moon
hangs in the sky. There are two
kinds of stories, it continues.
Those you can take to bed with
you, and ... and then, theres the
other kind.
As the character speaks, forms
and objects crawl out of the
ground and twist into much more
sinister shapes. Our story to-
night, the dark character says as
the camera quickly zooms in for
an extreme close-up, is the other
kind.
This is the opening scene from
Insanely Twisted Shadow Pup-
pets, a series of animated shorts
and the bizarre handiwork of
Michel Gagne, an artist, anima-
tor, writer, director and producer.
From his work in the 80s with
Don Bluth on such beloved ani-
mated features as An American
Tail and The Land Before
Time to later features like The
Iron Giant and Osmosis
Jones, Gagnes had quite a ca-
reer working in Hollywood. But,
as he explained to me during an
interview at the 2011 Penny Ar-
cade Expo in Boston, the jump
from animated features to video
games didnt begin until he left
Hollywood to live in Bellingham,
Wash., and work on his own
projects, full-time projects
such as Insanely Twisted Shad-
ow Puppets.
Gagne pitched the original idea
for Insanely Twisted Shadow
Puppets to a number of big
networks before they found a
home at MTV Networks, which
commissioned the works to ap-
pear as interstitials, an advertise-
ment that loads between two
content pages, during Nickel-
odeons Halloween Shriekin
Weekend in October 2005.
The collection of 12, creepy,
bizarre and insanely twisted
shorts make up about two and a
half minutes of dark and sinister,
multi-limbed creatures with
claws and fangs chasing each
other with the intent to kill, eat or
maim. The mixture of screams,
shrieks, organic and synthetic
sound effects further curdle the
blood and send shivers down the
spine. It was just the inspiration
needed for Joe Olson, CEO and
FX artist at Fuelcell Games, to
approach Gagne about making a
video game.
As a special effects artist,
theres nobody with a better
sense of timing and fluid anima-
tion in effects design than Mi-
chel, Olson said, so when he
discovered that Gagne was living
nearby, he invited the artist to do
a workshop at a special-effects
summit that would bring special-
effects artists from several stu-
dios around Seattle together.
Afterward, over dinner, Olson,
who works primarily in the gam-
ing industry, discovered that
Gagne hadnt actually played a
game since the original Doom.
When Olson showed Gagne
some examples of the progress
made in graphics technology and
special effects, Gagne was ex-
tremely impressed. From there,
the relationship bloomed as the
two discussed their ideas, and,
before long, their combined
artistic vision came together to
create Insanely Twisted Shadow
Planet, which finally released to
Xbox Live as part of the Summer
of Arcade promotion on Aug. 3.
The final result of all that
inspiration and hard work is that
Gagnes vision is perfectly real-
ized in a video game and suffers
no loss of quality in the trans-
lation even the behavior of the
creatures and the core gameplay
evolves from Gagnes art design.
As Gagne explained, the art
shaped the gameplay as much as
the gameplay shaped the art. It
goes back and forth, he said.
From the spaceship used as the
heros vehicle to the vicious flora
and fauna that inhabit the world,
the striking silhouettes set against
colorful backgrounds are directly
inspired by Gagnes original
shorts. It all comes to life with
frightening clarity.
Insanely Twisted Shadow
Planet is now available on Xbox
Live. W

J
oey Belladonna likes to keep
busy.
When he started singing
with legendary thrash metal band
Anthrax in1984, he was 24 years
old. Now, at age 50, Belladonna
who rejoined Anthrax in 2010
after a hiatus of nearly two dec-
ades continues to tour and
record with the band that made
himfamous, but he also stays
active during downtime as a solo
act and even sings in a classic-
rock cover band, Chief Big Way,
in his hometown.
I dont like having the down-
time, says Belladonna, checking
in with the Weekender fromhis
home in NewYork, having just
come off his recent European tour.
I like performing. I even like the
whole business of packing up and
preparing to go, getting ready to
go. And then you get people to
come out, and you get the whole
ball started. Its all fun.
On Saturday, Aug. 13, Bella-
donna will bring his passion for
performance to Stroudsburgs
Sherman Theater, not with An-
thrax, but as the aforementioned
solo act. For this project, Bella-
donna not only sings but plays
drums as well. His set list consists
of an ever-changing mix of old
school covers and material from
the string of well-received solo
albums hes released over the
years, as well as, hints Belladon-
na, maybe a splash of Anthrax.
Despite some crossover in the
setlist, Belladonna does make
sure to comment on the differ-
ences between his own solo mate-
rial and the music he contributes
to as a member of Anthrax.
Its a little bit more straight
up, he opines, contrasting it
against Anthraxs more frenetic
thrash style. Its not as busy.
Belladonna further describes
his solo efforts as generally being
more influenced by hard rock than
heavy metal, and remarks that one
of the things that he appreciates
about his solo work is the overall
freedomit gives him. Though he
says hes loved being a part of
Anthrax, he also points out that, as
part of a group, he only has so
much say in the direction the
bands sound moves in. Mean-
while, his solo work allows him
the opportunity to indulge in his
own personal musical interests,
without the pressure of needing
the final product to fit into the
Anthrax mold.
Whatever comes out, comes
out, Belladonna says. I dont sit
around going OK, it has to be this
way or it has to be this way.
He says hes excited to see
where such freedomto experi-
ment will take himwith the mate-
rial hes preparing for his next solo
album. I think its heavier, its
definitely riff-ier, and its got a
little bit more punch to it, he says,
while maintaining that it stands
apart fromhis work with Anthrax.
As for when fans might be able
to expect this newsolo albumto
see release, Belladonna admits
that no definitive date had been
scheduled.
Were still in the midst of
putting that together, he says.
Ive sort of held off on it at this
point. Ive got quite a bit of it done
but timing is one of the main
factors if you want to do it correct-
ly, and this is one of those things I
definitely want to do correct.
Following his current summer
plans of touring as a solo act, as
well as several dates with Chief
Big Way, Belladonna says that he
will be back touring with Anthrax
in September, around the same
time a newAnthrax album, tenta-
tively titled Worship Music, is
scheduled for release. But thats
not all thats in the works.
We have some other surprises
coming up, teases Belladonna,
without going into too much
detail. He doesnt, after all, want
to give everything away. W

Belladonna on the release of his new solo album
I
n music, pop is short for
popular, but the abbreviat-
ed term for the genre
evokes the image of a bubble,
something fragile not meant to
last. So when a pop star such
as Britney Spears puts in more
than 12 years and consistently
stays on top of the charts,
some respect must be paid.
That said, wed be hard-
pressed to find an artist who
has had as many personal ups
and downs in the past dozen
years, which makes the fact
that six of Spears seven al-
bums, including this years
Femme Fatale, debuted at No.
1 all the more impressive.
As the pop princess contin-
ues her latest concert tour, we
look at 12 steps in Spears
career, representing the ups and
downs of a life lived in the
white-hot glare of the public
eye.
1. (1999) An 18-year-old
Spears drops ... Baby One
More Time. The title tracks
video features Brit in a midriff-
baring Catholic schoolgirl out-
fit, turning the term pop tart
into more than a breakfast food
and putting her on the radar of
parents groups.
2. (2000) Second album,
Oops! ... I Did It Again,
released. While performing at
the MTV Video Music Awards,
Britney strips away her black
pantsuit (and her good-girl
image) to reveal a flesh-colored
bodysuit and sequin-covered
undies. Also admits shes dat-
ing Justin Timberlake.
3. (2001) Britney, album
No. 3. At the VMAs, a barely
dressed Brit decides to wear an
albino snake, incurring the
wrath of People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals.
4. (2002) Forbes names her
the most powerful celebrity.
Timberlake releases a video for
the single Cry Me a River,
which alludes to his earlier
breakup with Spears.
5. (2003) Album No. 4, In
the Zone. Also, The Kiss:
VMAs. Madonna. A cover
version of Like a Virgin. A
dash of Christina Aguilera.
6. (2004) Marries childhood
friend Jason Alexander. The
marriage is annulled hours
afterward. She would later
marry backup dancer Kevin
K-Fed Federline.
7. (2005) Has her first child,
Sean Preston. She takes some
heat for driving a car with her
son in her lap instead of a car
seat.
8. (2006) Her second child,
Jayden James, is born. Divorces
K-Fed.
9. (2007) Blackout, her
fifth album, is the first not to
hit No. 1 (it tops out at No. 2).
Brit shaves her head. Does a
stint in rehab. At the VMAs,
Spears turns in a stunningly
bad performance. (And using a
sledgehammer to make the
point that its difficult to stay
on top, as Britney is hitting her
nadir, Amy Winehouse is be-
ginning her ascendance in the
United States after successful
debut performances in New
York City).
10. (2008) Brit is eventually
placed under conservatorship of
her father. Despite all the tra-
vails, her sixth album, Circus,
hits No 1. She also makes a
successful cameo on the TV
show How I Met Your Moth-
er.
11. (2009) Releases an
iPhone app, Its Britney!
12. (2010-present) The it-
show of the moment, Glee,
does a Britney Spears-themed
episode, which becomes one of
its highest rated ever. By 2011,
the music landscape is filled
with singers who clearly have
been cribbing from the Britney
playbook. Femme Fatale de-
buts at No. 1. W
Britney Spears performs
earlier this year on her
Femme Fatale tour.

More than just a run
Valleys Fastest Man tests
endurance and heartstrings
By Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Staff Writer
W
ho says charity
events have to
be run-of-the-
mill, cookie-cutter affairs
with no deviation from the
norm? Certainly not Rich
Pais, proprietor of non-prot
Wilkes-Barre Racing, whose
upcoming Valleys Fastest
Man competition will push
the limits of even the most
enthusiastic athlete while
raising awareness for the
under-the-radar cause of
adoption and foster care.
Valleys Fastest Man is
a series of races that test
the endurance and speed
of its participants over the
course of three different
events. On Wednesday, Aug.
17 at 7 p.m., competitors
will start out on the NEPA
Crosst Kirby Park Mile,
a dirt track mile that is,
according to Pais, nothing
like running on a regular
track. The overall male and
female leaders and age group
leaders in this event will
receive singlets, or brightly
colored shirts, to wear in the
following races, essentially
acting as a motivational tool
for other participants so
they know exactly whose
ankles they need to be
nipping.
The Fitness Headquarters
Giants Despair Challenge in
Laurel Run will take place
Wednesday, Aug. 24 at 7 p.m.
and is likely to be the most
intimidating of the trio, with
600 vertical feet in a mile.
As you run up Giants
Despair, youre going to see,
you know, 12 people wearing
brightly colored shirts, and
everybody else trying to
run them down, Pais said,
Which will make Giants
Despair, which is believe
me hideous and difcult
and dramatic enough, even
more so.
The nal event, Wet Paint
T-Shirts River Street Mile,
will be held on Friday, Sept.
3 at 7 p.m. and will nish
before a huge crowd at the
location of the registration
and the pre-race festival for
the Wendys Wonderful Kids
half-marathon, which is (the
next) morning.
The person with the
lowest cumulative time
for all three races will
win the series. Aside from
having accomplished an
outrageously difcult series
of pseudo-sprints, winners
will receive cash prizes
furnished by the sponsors,
including primary sponsor,
OneSource. The fastest
man and woman will each
win $500, the fastest male
and female master division
winners receive $250 and
the remaining cash will be
divided among second and
third place overall nishers.
Game-changer
P
ais is looking to
provide a novel athletic
experience for runners
by organizing something that
has been largely unheard of
locally, and hes doing it his
way.
In doing the two races
on a Wednesday and the
one the night before a half
marathon, we dont interfere
with anybody elses charity
event, we dont interfere with
anybodys family time, but
we give athletes a chance to
really put themselves to the
test, the former Ironman
competitor said. Another
goal of what were doing
is to try and reinvigorate
and bring new and different
and exciting events to this
region.
One way of doing that
is by chip-timing the races,
which means participants
will be electronically-timed.
Not only will cheating
be virtually eliminated,
everyone will know exactly
where they stand without
having to wait.
I own a gym locally,
and my athletes love
(Pais) events because
they are different, they are
competition other than just
lets go run three miles, and

Fostering
awareness
they usually have some kind
of catch to it, said Brennan
Morton, head coach at race
sponsor NEPACrosst.
Like the Giants Despair hill
run, part of the Fastest Man
series. We did it last year and
it was a mind-blower. Alot
of the running community
who came out who are used
to the long, slow distance,
they were very surprised to
have some other kind of a
challenge put before them,
and it was just a lot of fun.
Alternative race
with a cause
W
ilkes-Barre Racing
and, in turn,
Valleys Fastest
Man uses athletics to help
benet orphans and foster
children by not only raising
money for the Childrens
Service Center of Wyoming
Valley and other adoption
initiatives (the organization
is an independent 501(c)3
that can give money to any
foster care organization or
family), but also by shining
a spotlight on an issue that
is generally not prominent in
the public eye.
Pais noted that, unlike
with most other charities,
money isnt always the
most important issue when
it comes to foster care and
adoption.
I always tell people, if
I could have $10,000 or 10
new foster parents, I would
take the 10 new foster
parents, Pais said. Because
the only thing Id do with
the $10,000 is try and recruit
new foster parents.
An event like Valleys
Fastest Man is as much about
raising more awareness about
the under-publicized issue
of parentless children as it
is about providing a creative
outlet for motivated athletes.
Its not a measurement of
money, its a measurement of
moving peoples hearts, he
said.
Morton agreed that the
charitable aspects of Pais
organization are part of the
draw for him.
(Pais) is the only one
whos actually putting on
what I consider alternative
races, said Morton. So I
really like what hes doing,
but more than that, I really
like the fact that hes doing
it for something greater
than just making a prot.
Wilkes-Barre Racing is
probably one of the better
charity foundations around
here, one of the better non-
prots Ive even seen. And
they do everything local, so
they enact change within our
community. W
T
he primary goal
of Wilkes-Barre
Racing, in addition
to acting as a
catalyst for competitive
athletics, is to use those
athletic events and athletes
to help foster children and
orphans.
Its one of these issues
that is, in a sense, almost
difficult for some people,
said Rich Pais, owner
of Wilkes-Barre Racing.
They dont understand
that in Luzerne County
there are hundreds, and
in Pennsylvania theres
thousands of kids from the
ages of 4-19 who need a
mom and a dad and a home.
And most of them wont get
it.
It has always been
Paiss top priority to get
the issue of adoption to
the forefront of local and
national awareness, and
his organization is a great
platform for doing so. Most
people may not realize that
infants are not the only age
group of children within the
adoption network.
A lot of single people,
especially once they get in
their 30s, begin to get the
idea that having a family
is not going to happen for
them. And let me just say
that for a woman in her 30s
or a man in his 30s or 40s
or whatever, I can guarantee
you theres a 14-year-old girl
or a 15-year-old boy (that)
could really use that same-
sex parent to bond with. W
-- S.D.
Its not a measurement of
money, its a measurement
of moving peoples hearts.

ANTHOLOGY LIVES ON
The Pages & Places Book
Festival and Anthology Books
will use the Scranthology.com
website to raise money for the
Veterans Writing Project.
Shares of online purchases made
during August will be donated to
the start-up nonprofit organiza-
tion that benefits veterans of all
branches of the American mil-
itary.
VWP will participate in the
2011 Pages & Places Book Fes-
tival in Scranton Saturday, Oct. 1
as a Community Partner.
Since the closing of Anthology
Books downtown Scranton
location last month, its new own-
ership, led by Bill Black, who is
also co-director of Pages & Plac-
es, has struggled to create a new
model and broader relevance for
Anthology.
Weve thought long and hard
about how to reinvent Anthology
as a tool that can positively im-
pact peoples lives, Black said in
a press release. The first step is
a commitment to using Anthol-
ogys e-commerce site to raise
needed funds for a handful of
very worthwhile nonprofits.
For more info, contact Black at
wblack@pagesandplaces.org or
443.786.9219.
ALLMAN SHOWA NO GO
Upon his doctors orders,
Gregg Allman has to cancel his
Aug. 26-Sept. 15 concert dates,
including his Tuesday, Sept. 6
appearance at The Sherman
Theater (524 Main St., Strouds-
burg). According to a press re-
lease from his publicist, some
dates will be rescheduled for
later in the year.
Allman canceled four dates at
the end of his four-week Europe-
an tour in June due to an upper
respiratory condition. His doc-
tor hoped that with rest, hed get
better, but unfortunately the issue
has persisted. Treatment is going
to involve several days of hospi-
talization and 4-6 weeks of bed
rest at home, the release stated.
MISERI GETS HIGH MARKS
Misericordia University (301
Lake St., Dallas) has been recog-
nized as one of the top colleges
and universities in the northeast-
ern United States, according to
the nationally known education
services company, The Prince-
ton Review.
Misericordia is one of 220
institutions of higher education
the Review has recommended in
its website feature, 2012 Best
Colleges: Region by Region,
that posted Aug. 1 on Princeton-
Review.com. The profile de-
scribed Misericordias academic
programs as very challenging
and the coursework is rigorous,
so it all adds up in the end to a
highly marketable degree.
Misericordia was founded and
sponsored by the Sisters of Mer-
cy in 1924 and was Luzerne
Countys first four-year college.

ixing museum tours with
mountain trails and
beach time with business
gatherings takes planning, espe-
cially when youre traveling inde-
pendently. While heading out for
an extreme sporting vacation
with no checked luggage might
not be achievable, it is possible to
pack light while working from
the road on a soft adventure
getaway.
Footwear: When traveling to
moderate climates, plan to get by
with two sets of footwear. One
should be suitable for business,
while the other stands ready for
adventure activities. For me, this
means a pair of high-heeled knee
boots and sturdy hiking sandals.
Every dressy outfit I pack works
with the boots, while the hiking
sandals function on trails, cob-
blestone streets and rocky beach-
es. If by chance I need something
more pedicure-friendly, flip-flops
are always available for a song at
the nearest street-side stall.
Clothing: Since Im usually
not climbing Kilimanjaro, I can
get by with one exercise top and a
couple of thin dressy T-shirts
suitable for dressing up a pair of
jeans or wearing under a pantsuit.
Aside from one heavy pair to deal
with unexpected weather shifts, I
keep it thin on the sock scene as
well. Target has an affordable
selection of quick-drying black
dress socks by Merona that in-
cludes a variety of styles to suit
your shoe preferences.
Storage: Ive found that carry-
ing
a
small, expandable clutch gives
me access to everything I need
for an evening out with clients or
a day of shopping and explora-
tion. Its just slightly larger than a
regular womens wallet and
moves easily between business
totes, rolling duffels or whatever I
happen to be using at the time.
Many men prefer messenger bags
when functioning on the road as a
digital nomad. Theyre more
discreet than an expensive brief-
case, and the extra space allows
for the transport of files, gear and
clothing.
Streamlining: Whether Im
combining business and adven-
ture travel into a single excursion,
or tackling back-to-back-to-back
trips with different agendas, Ive
found success by maintain-
ing similar routines and
packing procedures for
both. Certain categories of
things such as tech chords, cos-
metics and accessories always get
packed in the same small pouch-
es. Also, while varying climates
and gear requirements have been
known to get in the way, I try to
use the same pieces of luggage
for both types of trips whenever
possible. This helps me handle
unexpected travel snags on auto-
pilot, as opposed to digging
around in an unfamiliar bag for
critical items. W

The cast of The Complete History of America (Abridged).
W
illiam Shakespeare is
known for his satiri-
cal, sometimes his-
torical comedy. So if youre
going to name your produc-
tion company after some of
his most bewitching charac-
ters, youd better be ready to
bring some serious toil and
trouble to the stage.
Three Witches Productions
is shooting to do just that,
set to conjure up some fresh
entertainment in the realm
of theatrics with a local
production of The Complete
History of America
(Abridged) Thursday
through Saturday, Aug. 11-
13, at 8 p.m., and Sunday,
Aug. 14 at 2 p.m. at The
Vintage Theater in Scranton.
The show employs only
three performers (Jarid Jo-
pling, Eric Lutz and Jim
Shygelski), and the premise
is that they take the entire
topic of American history
and condense it into 90 min-
utes, all while taking a com-
ical, improvisational ap-
proach.
Whats great about this
show is it takes history and
it makes it not such a bor-
ing book of names and dates
you dont remember, said
Carrie Mitchell, director of
the play and co-founder of
Three Witches. It really
makes it accessible to every-
one and makes it relevant.
The Reduced Shakespeare
Company is behind the
plays origins, along with a
similar show called The
Complete Works of William
Shakespeare (Abridged). It
was this other production
that paved the way for our
area to get a little dose of
satirical history.
I had directed the The
Complete Works of William
Shakespeare (Abridged) last
summer for Phoenix Theat-
rics, and I had such a blast
with it, said Mitchell. And
Brink (Powell, co-founder of
the company and stage man-
ager of the play) and myself
both were history minors in
college, so we like our his-
tory. So we just thought it
would be a fun thing to do.
Mitchell and Powell both
have a great fondness for
the Bard (as Shakespeare is
sometimes affectionately
called), which is part of why
they named their production
company after his infamous
Macbeth characters.
The two of us started this
in (late) 2010, Mitchell
said, And we actually had
done theater quite a bit to-
gether in Duryea, at Phoe-
nix, and we just decided
that we wanted to go at it
ourselves and see what we
could come up with.
The upcoming production
aligns perfectly with the
vibes Mitchell and Powell
throw off: Being serious
about theater without taking
themselves too seriously.
Theres a lot of improv
and ad-libbing in this show,
so its got an atmosphere of
just feeling like youre sit-
ting in a coffee shop watch-
ing these three goofy guys
tell you all about history,
Mitchell explained. The
audience can feel like part
of it Its a lot of fun,
and it just says a lot about
us as a company because we
want to have fun with what
we do. I mean, we take it
seriously, but theater is fun
so we want to enjoy it. W

G
ary Wrights 1976 smash
hit Dream Weaver has
been featured in numerous
TV shows and movies like
Waynes World, but its a song
that almost wasnt.
As a matter of fact, it was the
very last song that was chosen for
the album, Wright shared while
en route to San Diego for the first
show of the Hippiefest 2011 tour.
The final slot on the album was
between Dream Weaver and
another song. Wright asked his
studio musicians which song they
wanted to do, and they chose
Dream Weaver, which is still
receiving radio airplay 35 years
later.
Thats really how it hap-
pened, Wright said. I never
thought it would be a single, so I
added all these electronic sounds
to it to try and make it spacey and
out there. All of a sudden, radio
jumped all over it when they
found out it had no guitars on it.
It was all done with keyboards, so
that kind of worked to my ad-
vantage, the keytar.
Hippiefest, which also features
Dave Mason, Mark Farner, Rick
Derringer and Felix Cavalieres
Rascals, rolls into the F.M. Kirby
Center in Wilkes-Barre Saturday,
Aug. 13 at 7 p.m., and fans can
expect to see Wright strap on a
keytar for his performance.
I enjoyed playing that, he
said, chuckling. When I started
playing, I was originally behind a
Hammond organ, and I thought,
Oh, this is a drag, I want to get
out there and move around. I was
the first artist to really go out
there and put a keyboard down
and develop the technology on
how to do it, and then everybody
started doing it.
Wrights set includes two songs
from his band Spooky Tooth,
Better By You, Better Than Me
and Waiting For The Wind, and
his two solo hits, Dream Weav-
er and Love Is Alive.
The Weekender couldnt help
but ask Wright if he considers he
and his tourmates hippies, a
term that doesnt really seem to
mesh with bands these gentlemen
have been associated with in the
past.
Well, no, not in the classical
sense of the world, I mean I dont
live in a VW bus, Wright re-
plied, laughing. But in the spirit
of the music at the time, yes.
Wright, then a part of Spooky
Tooth, and Mason, a founding
member of Traffic, were both on
Island Records, and their bands
made albums around the same
time, so we were both a part of
that whole thing, he said.
The musician, who was first a
child actor who starred on Broad-
way alongside Florence Hen-
derson of The Brady Bunch in
the 1954 musical Fanny, has
been far from idle since Dream
Weaver became a song now
synonymous with longing for
someone. Not only was he friends
with Beatle George Harrison
hell be featured in Martin Scor-
seses forthcoming Harrison
biopic but hes now toured
twice with Ringo Starr & His
All-Starr Band.
In fact, he spent the early part
of this summer touring Europe
with the Beatle drummers en-
semble. A brief vacation with his
family to Sardinia, Italy, followed,
and it was right back on the road
for Hippiefest.
In the single, Get Your Hands
Up, from last years Connect-
ed, Wright sings were gonna
have a good time. After spend-
ing more than 50 years in the
industry, is the musician still
having a good time himself?
There are very few people,
unfortunately, in life who love to
do what they do and be successful
at it and make a good living at it,
he said. I feel very blessed that
Im one of those individuals who
actually has a career and work
and gets my stuff played in films.
Its wonderful, I am happy! W

Music on the menu
By Alan K. Stout
Weekender Music Columnist

heres nothing careless
about the precise, well-
played and well-sung music
of the band Careless. Its heavy,
old-school 80s-style rock, but not
of the pop/metal or glam variety.
This project comes at you with the
blazing intensity of acts such as
Iron Maiden, Queensryche and
Dio.
The history of the group dates
back about 25 years to when three
friends Edward James Collins,
Walt Kosar and Nolan Ayres
began recording original music
while attending college in Scran-
ton. Ayers says that after drifting
apart and not seeing one another
for more than 20 years, Kosar
reconnected with Collins, who
was living in Indiana at the time.
They then reached out to Ayers
and asked if hed be interested in
revisiting some of the old songs
from their college days and also
possibly write some new ones. He
was. And Careless was born.
The result: Coalition, an
intense 12-song collection avail-
able now through the projects
website, www.carelesscentral-
.com.
We had old recordings of the
stuff, and we all reviewed them,
says Ayers. And then we started
to write new material. Half of it
was recorded live in Los Angeles,
where Ed lives now. Walt and I
flew out there and recorded the
rhythm tracks. And about half of it
was done with file swaps over the
internet. Walt would lay down a
rhythm track, send it to Ed, and Ed
would layer drums over that. And
once they had the rhythm guitars
and drums together, theyd send it
to me, and Id lay bass over it.
Basically, Ed would be the bone
collector. Hed collect everybodys
parts, integrate them and mix
them. He did all of the engineer-
ing on the Coalition project. And
he did a pretty amazing job.
Collins, who also handles lead
vocals on the tracks, is also former
core member of the local bands
FreeFall and Fallen Angel. He also
did stints with national recording
artist Dirty Looks. Another of his
projects, POD, was signed to
Sony. Tracks on the new Coali-
tion digital release include Cur-
tains, Boundaries, Between
The Mayhem and The Gods
Themselves.
The aforementioned common
influences Iron Maiden,
Queensryche and Dio are
evident on the recordings.
All of that stuff was like moth-
ers milk to all of us, and I think
thats why we like to play together
so much, says Ayers. We share a
common frame of reference. In
terms of tastes, we can almost
complete each others sentences
when were playing, because were
all coming from the same space.
Ive played with a whole bunch of
people over the years, but when I
play with these two guys, its like
breathing.
One thing thats striking when
one listens to the Coalition
project is that one cannot tell what
songs were originally written
during the initial carnation of the
band and which ones came during
its reincarnation. Ayers says that
might be due to the fact that the
groups own creative musical
approach and its own musical
influences remain unchanged.
Theres cohesion through all of
it, he says. All of those artists
were really assimilated into us as
part of our musical DNA. The
new work is just an extension of
that. As a bassist, two of my major
influences were Geddy Lee of
Rush and Steve Harris of Iron
Maiden. I wore the grooves off
All The Worlds A Stage. Thats
really where I learned how to play.
I copped all of their stuff. And I
still love it to this day.
Ayers says the members of
Careless hope listeners will get
the same joy listening to their
music as they had while making it.
I hope theyre able to connect
with it and relate to it, he says.
The music was really created
with a lot of TLC and we really
busted our ass to make it as good
as we can. It was a labor or love.
And I hope they feel the love. And
the groove. W

Set Your Goals is one of
those bands that just doesnt
seem to go away. After re-
leasing This Will Be the
Death of Us in 2009, the
band toured internationally
nonstop, yet still found time
to write a follow-up, its
third full-length album
Burning at Both Ends.
The timing for the new
release is just perfect, as it
was sent out in late June.
Musically the album is up-
beat throughout and lyrically
Set Your Goals rolls out
anthem after anthem a
brilliant combination for
punk-rock summer festivals
the band is headlining.
Kicking off with Cure
For Apathy, the six-piece
instantly brings the energetic
pop punk that is expected
from the band, along with a
bold and very favorable cho-
rus.
Burning at Both Ends is
a record that delivers catchy
hooks in abundance; from
Start The Reactor with its
gang vocals to the driving,
stomping tempo of Cer-
tain, Set Your Goals is
firmly in its stride from the
start.
The chorus to Happy
New Year is bound to be
sang loudly in the coming
months, while Illuminated
Youth and Trenches pro-
vide heavier moments for
fans that may not be into
the upbeat melodies.
While there are far too
many highlights to mention;
Product of the 80s is a
prime example of how SYG
has embraced the fun pop-
punk style and doesnt take
itself too serious. With ref-
erences to syndicated TV
shows, Transformers, Billie
Jean, Madonna, Bon Jovi,
Tiffany, Freddie Krueger and
The Goonies, itll leave you
with a smile on your face
and, like a majority of this
record, will be on repeat.

Its not often that a band manages to
obtain immense buzz before it has even
released a debut album. However, after
relentless touring and a stint on the Vans
Warped Tour this summer, Florida-based
rockers Go Radio did just that. To much
acclaim, Go Radio Jason Lancaster
(vocals, guitars, piano), Matt Burns
Poulos (bass), Steven Kopacz (drums) and
Alex Reed (guitar) released its debut
Lucky Street earlier this year on Fear-
less Records.
Go Radios music is edgy and incorpo-
rates a unique mix of many things. Its
songs are melody driven, heavy, upbeat
and even poignant at times.
The band undoubtedly exhibits why it
earned that coveted spot on the Warped
Tour with heavier tracks such as the al-
bums opener/title track and the aggres-
sive Kill The Beast. Despite its ability
to make some pretty heavy music, Go
Radio switches it up constantly on this
album, showing its exceptional talent for
creating diverse tracks.
Lancasters use of the piano really adds
an interesting aspect to Lucky Street
that helps take the album beyond being
just another rock release. Lancaster exhib-
its these strong piano skills on the emo-
tion-filled and melodious Why Im
Home.
The track Hold On has a carefree and
upbeat feel to it that would actually seem
out-of-place if the band didnt do such
a great job of pulling it off. Lancaster has
a fantastic voice, as he seemingly sings
each lyric effortlessly.
On this debut, Go Radio has, without a
doubt, proven that the buzz was justified.

RATING: W W W1/2
Radio's
worthy of all
the buzz
War of Angels, the latest release
from Pop Evil, is a thoroughly solid yet
ultimately unremarkable album. The
band takes a very simplistic approach
to creating music and that approach
allows Pop Evil to produce the kind of
hard-hitting songs that are a staple of
todays modern-rock radio playlists.
However, on the other hand, this also
means that the band doesnt really
stand out from the crowd and has to
share fans attention with any other
band that, for all intents and purposes,
sounds exactly the same as Pop Evil
does.
The album opens up with the power-
ful Last Man Standing and Epitaph,
then begins to slow down just a little
bit with Broken & Betrayed and
Monster You Made, the latter with
just the tiniest tinge of remorse. That
remorse provides a great transition into
token ballad Let it Go, and then the
band changes gears again and spits out
a raunchy romp with Bosss Daughter.
The remainder of the album follows the
same formulaic approach to creating the
ultimate radio-friendly mix: Loud, thun-
derous anthems with a few slow, quiet
songs mixed in that are meant to ap-
peal to the broadest audience possible.
While War of Angels is a decent
rock album, it also doesnt do anything
new nor does it do anything to set Pop
Evil apart from the numerous other
artists out there who have the exact
same sound and style. While this album
will probably sell well and its songs
will receive plenty of airplay, it is com-
pletely lacking any kind of staying
power and will likely be forgotten al-
most as quickly as it has arrived.

Someday This Will Be Fun-

ny is an eclectic book by
Lynne Tillman, author of
No Lease On Life. Someday
, a collection of short fiction
stories, are intertwined in the
imaginative and haphazard mind
of Tillman. But, of course, that is
said with admiration.
The structure of the stories
may seem off with wandering
characters seemingly flipping
from one thought to the next.
However, that subtle action is
what captivates readers in the
reality of how people think
not prepared, but muddled.
Playing Hurt is one of the
best stories in the book. One
could not help but think how
reminiscent the relationship
between Abigail and Nathaniel
are to the characters George and
Martha from Edward Albees
Whos Afraid of Virginia
Woolf? There is a tension be-
tween the characters, and that is
delayed until the end of the story,
similarly to Albees play.
There are stories in the book
that are provocative and take no
time to tease. For instance, the
story More Sex, was still some-
what surprising even considering
the bawdy title. Without filter,
Tillman creates an everyday
female character discussing with
ease, the many escapades she
dreams up in order to counter the
harsh reality of her solitude.
Tillman writes in very casual
manner, an aspect that not only
makes the stories easy to follow,
but also entertaining to read.
While some of the stories may
come across as unfinished
thoughts, others take essay and
soliloquy form.
One of the funniest stories,
which admittedly created an
inner laugh, was from But
Theres A Family Resemblance.
Readers are introduced to the
character, Great Uncle Charley,
who didnt know, until he was
eighteen and married Margaret,
that women went to the bath-
room. In the story, Tillman
captures an absurdist type of
writing comparable to certain
authors but at the same time, all
her own.
As one might gather, in pro-
gressing through the stories, the
characters and plots are not al-
ways as laughable as the title
suggests. In actuality, reading
many of the stories offered a
sense of loneliness for the char-
acters rather than optimism.
In Save Me from the Pious
and the Vengeful, Tillman
writes, Out of nothing comes
language and out of language
comes nothing and everything. I
know there will be stories. Cer-
tainly, there will always be sto-
ries. Much of Tillmans writing
comes across like this circular
and sometimes theoretical. But,
more importantly, the story offers
hope that Tillman will continue
to write.
Someday This Will Be Fun-
ny is not a book written for the
sole purpose of making the read-
er laugh. Rather, the book solicits
moments where the reader real-
izes that as ridiculous as some of
the thoughts are, much of them
have already come across their
mind.

By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender
G
avin DeGrawhas found
living a normal life has
afforded himmore experi-
ences to write songs from, some-
thing he says will be apparent
when Sweeter is released Sept.
20. However, attempting to live
like everyone else may have lead
to an alleged incident on Monday
morning, in which the singer was
brutally beaten by a group of
men.
When someone says, Oh
well, maybe youre not on tour for
a year or so, youre in NewYork
hanging out, watching bands and
things like that, thats so impor-
tant to me as a writer, DeGraw
shared with me on his tour bus
Saturday afternoon. Thats my
real life; otherwise Id just be
sitting here on the bus, singing
songs about traveling all the
time.
But dont let himmislead you:
DeGrawis doing his fair share of
traveling. He played a showin
Camden, N.J., with Maroon 5
and Train on Friday night. The
next evening, DeGrawdeparted
fromthe tour to headline a show
at Eleanor Rigbys in Jermyn.
Sunday night, the I Dont Wanna
Be singer rejoined with M5 and
Train for a date at the MGM
Grand at Foxwoods in Mashan-
tucket, Conn.
DeGraw, a Manhattan resident,
returned home Sunday evening.
According to a report in the New
York Post, he was assaulted
around 4 a.m., after leaving some
friends at a bar. The singer suf-
fered a broken nose and facial
cuts before stumbling13 blocks.
Still dazed, a cab struck an in-
jured DeGrawas he was trying to
flee. He eventually made it to
Bellevue Hospital, where a rep
for the artist told TMZ, who
broke the story, that DeGrawis
stabilized and under doctors
supervision.
Almost two days prior, DeGraw
was all smiles on his tour bus in
Jermyn. The artist spent most of
Saturday on the bus, parked di-
rectly in front of the venue. In
between our interviewand the
show, DeGrawfilmed his live,
weekly uStreamchat using his
guitarists iPhone, and recorded a
jamsession during sound check
that would later find its way to
VH1s website. The stop was one
of just a handful of headlining
shows for the Upstate NewYork-
born singer. Perhaps it was grow-
ing up in South Fallsburg, N.Y.,
that kept himgrounded to reality.
Theres a different reality on
the road, said DeGraw. When
you come off the road, you kinda
have to come off the road and just
be normal, and then go, Whoa,
something very fed up happened
to me today, and other people are
like, What do you think we all go
through man?
Unfortunately for DeGraw, that
fed up thing happened Mon-
day morning and proved another
perception of a musicians life
incorrect.
Its funny talking with musi-
cians about their schedule, and
then you talk to someone who has
a real job, and theyre like, Thats
your schedule? I wish I had that
schedule.
Now, the only thing being
wished upon is prayers for De-
Grawand his family as he recov-
ers. The pop star was previously
scheduled to rejoin Maroon 5 and
Train Tuesday evening in Sarato-
ga Springs, N.Y., and was slated
to performon Live! With Regis
and Kelly Wednesday morning.
As of press time, there was no
word fromJ Records on the
cancellation or rescheduling of
either appearance. W

movie review
A
fter Tim Burton indiffer-
ently farted out his ill-
conceived Planet of the
Apes remake in 2001, nobody
was clamoring for an updated
version of the once popular
Apes franchise. Especially if it
starred Mark Wahlberg, a guy
who always looks and sounds as
if he was just punched in the
stomach. Unfortunately, there are
only 17 films remaining in this
country that havent already been
remade or are currently in the
process of being remade. So
instead of giving us a gritty big
budget reimagining of the semi-
nal Shelley Long vehicle Troop
Beverly Hills, 20th Century Fox
was forced into giving the Plan-
et of the Apes series another
shot.
And its a good thing they did
because Rise of the Planet of the
Apes is a surprisingly engaging
sci-fi thriller that, unlike Burtons
film, doesnt gleefully desecrate
peoples memories of the original
Planet of the Apes.
Although Rise of the Planet
of the Apes functions as a pre-
quel to/reboot of the Planet of
the Apes series, it actually owes
a heavy debt to 1972s Conquest
of the Planet of the Apes. Both
films chronicle the rise of a su-
per-intelligent ape named Caesar
but unlike Conquest, this ver-
sion of Caesar (Andy Serkis)
gains his intelligence through a
drug a scientist (James Franco
who alternately looks bored and
bemused throughout) developed
to reverse the effects of Alz-
heimers disease. The drug proves
to be mostly ineffective on hu-
mans (and eventually fatal) but
incredibly effective on apes like
Caesar. But as the years pass,
Caesars intellect proves to be a
gift as well as a curse as he grad-
ually realizes that humanity
views him as nothing more than a
stupid animal, and by the time
hes placed in a shady ape sanctu-
ary, his continued abuse manages
to transform him into the archi-
tect behind mankinds eventual
downfall.
CGI effects have become the
industry standard in big-budget
blockbusters even though they
essentially function as expensive
eyesores. But in Rise of the
Planet of the Apes, the CGI
effects lack the awkward flash of
most of this summers movies.
Caesar is a subtle and nuanced
creation that lacks the calculated
coldness of most CGI creations.
Most of credit for Caesars appeal
goes to Serkis powerful per-
formance (via motion-capture
effects) as he convincingly takes
the character from being a naive,
inquisitive chimp into a dis-
illusioned Che-like revolutionary.
However, Rise of the Planet of
the Apes is clearly Caesars
show, and once the focus is taken
away from him, the film
stumbles slightly. This is
mainly because Rise of
the Planet of the Apes
all too eagerly stacks the
deck against mankind by
depicting most of its
human cast as one-di-
mensional, perpetually
shouting monsters who
cant even look at a chim-
panzee without violently
threatening to kill it with
a baseball bat. Those that
arent depicted as seeth-
ing piles of evil come off as
ciphers that exist merely to push
the story along. And speaking of
the story, its great that the film-
makers paid homage to the origi-
nal Planet of the Apes with
several in-jokes and film refer-
ences, but did they have to do this
every five minutes? Sure, it was a
blast watching the news report
about the maiden voyage of Ica-
rus, the spaceship from the origi-
nal Planet of the Apes, but it
was painful watching somebody
tell a damn dirty ape to get
their stinking paws off them.
Apart from unfunny drunk guys
at a party, who really says things
like that?
Rise of the Planet of the
Apes has to be this summers
biggest surprise. Its genuinely
moving and, like all good sci-fi, it
doesnt take itself all that serious-
ly. Its also that rare breed of
remake that simultaneously im-
proves upon and compliments its
source material. But the most
surprising aspect of Rise of the
Planet of the Apes is the fact
that its probably the first and
only feel-good movie about the
destruction of humanity.

or as long as people have
been getting married, wed-
ding cakes have been
topped with tiny porcelain cou-
ples, peering with glassy eyes
fromtheir sugary perch. Most of
the time, they were an after-
thought, quickly discarded after
that famous first slice.
But these days, with the boom
of do-it-yourself party and wed-
ding projects, cake toppers are
undergoing a renaissance. Sud-
denly, they are an important re-
flection of the wedding couple or
the partys guest of honor.
At weddings, toppers some-
times outshine the cakes they
decorate. Forget porcelain
couples are nowrendered in
wood, wire, paper or even Legos.
And at birthday parties, showers
and other events, toppers can help
carry along a theme.
Aquick search of Etsy, the
online marketplace of handmade
goods, will bring up hundreds of
clever cake toppers. But here are a
fewfavorites for weddings and
parties:
Classic silhouettes are enjoy-
ing a newmoment in the sun, and
Simply Silhouettes captures the
motif on dozens of personalized
products. The companys wedding
shop features customacrylic cake
toppers cut fromyour own pho-
tograph. All you need to do is send
a photo of yourself and your be-
loved, and Simply Silhouettes will
do the rest. ($50, www.etsy.com/
shop/silhouetteweddings).
Designer Agnes Blumis best
known in the online world for her
yarn-wrapped collage wreaths.
But she recently expanded her
wares to include party supplies,
like handmade cake picks that
elevate even simple baked goods
into works of art. Try Blums felt
pinwheel cupcake picks to add a
touch of whimsy to your next
bridal or baby shower. Or use
themto dress up cupcakes at a
little ones first birthday bash.
($28.50 for 12, www.etsy.com/
shop/KnockKnocking).
Cake toppers can have a
sense of humor. Case in point: The
Cake Candelabra. The mini can-
dleholder adds a touch of posh
to an anniversary celebration,
40th birthday or even a sweet 16. It
holds standard supermarket can-
dles, and can be used again and
again. Make it a family birthday
tradition! (Fred &Friends, $8.95,
paper-source.com).
If you love the idea of a wed-
ding cake topper in your likeness,
check out the creations fromStar
House. Artists Heather and Jere-
my create a customsketch of you
and your spouse-to-be, based on
photos and information you pro-
vide. Then they transfer the draw-
ing to wood and paint it by hand.
The topper can include pets, kids,
balloons or almost anything else
you want. Once youve wiped off
the frosting, a Star House topper is
a fantastic keepsake fromyour big
day. ($150-$300 depending on the
design, www.etsy.com/shop/
urastarhouse).
Customcake toppers can be
pricey, but ReadyGo, a stationery
company based in Pittsburgh,
offers an affordable alternative:
Cardstock toppers designed in
your likeness. Because theyre
printed on paper, they arent ex-
pensive, but you still get a me-
mento that captures you and your
favorite person on your special
day. You choose skin color, hair
color and clothing styles for your
bride and groom(or groomand
groomor bride and bride), and
artist Nadia Marks Wojcik will
create a sweet topper. Or skip the
couple altogether and choose a
banner with your names or the
words just married. ($10-$40
depending on the design, www.et-
sy.com/shop/ReadyGo). W

heres a simple reason
Jade Starling loves to
perform at gay-friendly
events.
My gay fans have followed
me up and down through my
whole career, and I so appre-
ciate that, the singer shared
recently from her home in
New Jersey. Its something
you dont forget, so I always
want to give back to the com-
munity as best I can, as often
as I can.
With Pretty Poison, Starling
reached the Top 10 in 1987
with Catch Me (Im Fall-
ing), but even more long
lasting than that catchy tune,
has been Starlings seemingly
tireless advocacy for gay
rights. Her latest way of
showing support to the gay
community is being among
this years performers at the
fourth annual NEPA PrideF-
est, held Sunday, Aug. 14
from 1-7 p.m. at Kirby Park in
Wilkes-Barre.
Other festival entertainment
includes a drag show, local
bands M80 and Pop Rox and
DJ sets sponsored by the 12
Penny Saloon and Twist,
which was also instrumental
in securing Starlings partici-
pation.
Jade has been, since the
80s, a staunch advocate for
gay rights back before it was
the cool thing to do, said
John Dawe, executive director
of the NEPA Rainbow Alli-
ance, the organization that
presents PrideFest. These
days, you f ind performers like
Lady Gaga and Beyonce who
are all very supportive, but if
you look back to the 80s, and
you look at Jade Starling and
the work that she has done
then and since, youd be hard-
pressed to f ind many perform-
ers who have been doing the
advocacy thing for this long.
Starling said she does as
many events, both gay and
straight, as possible, but she
f inds that doing any gay
event is always a great time.
They always receive me so
well, and the love is always
there and the love has al-
ways been unconditional.
Its a love that seems to not
have waned much within the
community, especially consid-
ering the reception to her new
song, 8 Daze which Starling
said was f irst spun at Twist,
where she will perform for the
third time Sunday night fol-
lowing PrideFest.
8 Daze is a song that I can
play and keep the floor jump-
ing, or I can play it to get the
floor jumping, said Twist DJ
Nik Hughes. Jade is just one
of those artists that can tran-
scend the age barriers, espe-
cially having a career that has
spun longer than most of her
new fans have been alive for,
while keeping those of us
dancing that were there in the
days of Pretty Poison.
The single is from Pretty
Poisons new album, Cap-
tive, which will drop Nov. 11.
Starling will be joined on
stage at PrideFest by her
bandmate Whey Cooler, and
the group will do a tour next
year in support of the album.
Despite its heavy lineup of
fun entertainment, theres
much more to PrideFest.
Aside from food and product
vendors, the biggest piece of
this is it brings nearly 30 ven-
dors together, Dawe said.
These organizations can talk
to members of the community,
get their feedback and learn
what their needs are and what
services do exist that dont
really get publicized that
well.
Organizations include Do-
mestic Violence Service Cen-
ter, which will discuss its
programs about same-sex
domestic violence, education-
al institutions showcasing
their acceptance on campus,
corporations talking about
hiring practices and trying to
recruit new team members
and a whole bunch of
churches that are going to be
there showing their support
not all churches are antigay,
Dawe said, so thats a big
contingent.
Since its inception, PrideF-
est attendance has increased
steadily, and because of that,
for the second year in a row,
the event will have a $5 cover.
Dawe said it was very easy to
underwrite the costs of insur-
ance, entertainment, tents,
bathrooms, security and fenc-
ing to keep protesters out
when the festival had 500-
1,000 people showing up.
We have a bunch of fairly
loyal sponsors who have on a
consistent basis come through
for us, he explained, but as
we have grown and this year
expect 2,500-3,000 people,
the cost of throwing a party
for 3,000 people is not some-
thing that our sponsors will
carry. W

Tips
By Janelle Engle
from a
barbie chick
O
ftentimes, I come to a
point when all the
items in my wardrobe
just feel stale. You know the
feeling where you try on
every item in your closet and
then sit defeated in a clothes
pile with nothing to wear?
I call it the seasonal fashion
blues, the transition period
where you arent ready to
move onto the next seasons
fashion yet, but at the same
time, you feel as if youve
already worn out all the
clothes you have from the
current season. Luckily for
you and your wardrobe, I
have the perfect solution for
spicing up a tired-out war-
drobe without spending any
money. All you need is a
pair of scissors and a closet
full of clothes youre sick of.
The easiest piece to revive
would be jeans to shorts.
Remember the neon skinny-
jean trend from last year?
They are perfect to cut into
colorful shorts for the rest of
the summer. Just remember
when cutting jeans to shorts,
start off making them longer
than you want since you can
always cut more. After cut-
ting, its best to fray the
bottom to give the shorts a
more natural, distressed look
or simply cuff them if you
dont have the patience for
that.
Another option for spicing
up an old clothing piece is
getting a T-shirt youre tired
of and giving it a boho-chic
makeover by adding fringe at
the bottom. I suggest looking
at a picture of a style you
want in order to get the best
fringe for you. Dont forget
to pull the fabric out after
you cut it, this makes the
pieces thinner and longer,
too, so keep that in mind
when judging length. Now
you can add beads, tie up the
ends or whatever you want.
While Im sure you have
plenty of clothes youd love
to revamp in your closet,
dont feel the need to attack
your entire wardrobe with
scissors or you might find
yourself frustrated when the
colder months finally come
and all your clothes are
ripped to shreds.
Janelle will be heading to
The Art Institute of
Philadelphia for fashion
merchandising this fall. Have
a fashion question for her?

hen shes not working, you just may nd Amy
George working out by means of cycling,
practicing yoga, taking a body-combat class
or running with her dog Stella. And if shes
vacationing, shes heading to Atlantic City, one of her
favorite vacation destinations, where she can lie on the beach
and, in her words, win big on the money wheel at Resorts,
enjoy new restaurants and just relax!
You may have seen her in the newspaper representing the
American Red Cross or have been greeted by her at Odyssey
Fitness, but do you really know just who is Amy George?
Community involvement: Campaign manager for The
Little Theatre of Wilkes-Barre, volunteer with the Wyoming
Valley Dog Owners Group, Fundraising Team Member for
the Kings College Annual Fund and member of the United
Way of Wyoming Valley Workplace Council.
Hobbies: I enjoy relaxing with a good book when I have
some free time. I love to go out to new restaurants to sample
different food and wine with good friends. I spend too much
time painting my nails, but its a weird form of therapy
for me. Also I try to attend as many Penn State games as
possible, same for the New York Giants and Philadelphia
Phillies. Playing badminton with my ance Drew is my
latest hobby! Im not very good, but its fun! And of course,
shopping.
Favorite quote: Im impatient, a little insecure, I make
mistakes, I am out of control, and sometimes hard to handle;
but if you cant handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell
dont deserve me at my best. Marilyn Monroe.
Claim to fame: Hmm, well right now, its being in the
newspaper all the time representing the American Red Cross.
Favorite thing about the area: My favorite thing
about NEPAis that its so close to everything. Typically a
two-hour drive from here can lead you to the beach, to New
York City or Philly, to Penn State, wherever its a really
great place to live in general, but if you cant nd it here,
guaranteed you can nd it in about two hours or less from
here!
Favorite movie: Its a tie: Goodfellas and Waynes
World.
One thing Ive always wanted to do: Travel to Italy.
Its one of the most historic and beautiful places there is,
in my opinion. Plus you cant beat the food! Oh, and run a
marathon!
If your best friend were to describe you, what
would he/she say? Im the mediator and the reasonable
one. Im there for them no matter what, and if theres an issue
or problem, Im the one to x it or to just listen about it and
talk it over. I can always make them laugh, and we always
have a good time together no matter what we are doing!...

By Rachel A. Pugh
Weekender General Manager
I
m coming clean. I
have to get this off my
chest and be honest
with myself once and
for all. I am a crazy cat
lady. There, I said it. I always
knew I would be as I come
from a long line of crazy
cat lovers. My dad had cats
growing up. My mom had
cats growing up. And in the
Pugh household, there were
always cats. I mean always. I
have literally lived my entire
life with cats. And I wouldnt
have it any other way.
Some people are not cat
people, and thats OK. But
I dont trust people who say
The sophisticated cat lover
they dont like cats. I mean
really, have these people
honestly met every single
cat? I understand if theres
an allergy situation. People
who are allergic to them cant
be around them. But those
people arent usually the
people who say they dont
like them. Its the people who
have never had one or had
one bad experience with one.
Hell, I got bit in the eye by
a dog as a kid, and my hand
was mauled by a little uffy
thing at a car wash once, but
this doesnt mean I hate all
dogs. Im simply not a fan of
those two in particular.
I have ve cats. Yes, its
a bit much, but I got two
of them years ago from a
barn in Lake Ariel, one was
rescued from a Uni-Mart
parking lot and the last
two, well those are brand-
spanking new. We went to
Blue Chip Farms Animal
Refuge in Dallas for one, but
fell in love with two of them.
End of story.
Now dont get me wrong.
I dont have posters of cats
hanging around my house
(although I do have two
paintings) and I dont wear
clothing sporting images of
cats every day (not thats
theres anything wrong with
that). Im not obsessive
over my love for cats or
anything. Instead, I consider
myself a sophisticated
cat lover. I simply love
their individualism,
their strong personalities
and independence. And
occasionally, if its done
well, I will wear jewelry
professing my love for the
four-legged creature. Again,
a sophisticated cat lover.
I see nothing wrong with
accessorizing with some
funky cat jewelry such as a
loud ring or sterling silver
earrings. I have owned
little sterling silver cat
faces before, and they were
delicate and done tastefully.
And just because Ill wear
and purchase cat jewelry for
my Aunt Susan, who is also
a proud crazy cat lady, this
doesnt mean Im going to
go plastering my car with I
love my cat bumper stickers
or anything.
Seen here are some fun
and colorful cat accessories
from HeavenlyTreasures.com
and UnoAllaVolta.com, plus
sterling silver cats that my
boyfriend got me. W
My boyfriend, who was recently transformed from not a cat person,
gave me these sterling silver cat earrings as a gift.

orty Fort native Jimmy
Martin was a wrestler in
school, and his first passion
revolved around fitness and train-
ing. Though he always expressed
himself with writing and acting,
each of his talents seemed to
branch off into multiple job oppor-
tunities. Not only did Martin turn
himself into an actor and writer,
but he was also a personal trainer,
a writing assistant for a humor
greeting-card company, an athletic
model and an academic nude
model.
I feel you have to try the menu
to really knowwhat you like, said
Martin. It builds character. It is
different kinds of people in differ-
ent social settings. I try to put
myself in different circumstances.
I felt that it would be good to draw
a bunch of different jobs.
As a student attending George
Mason University in Fairfax
County, Va., Martin made several
bus trips to NewYork where he
delved into film. Appearing in
television shows and a Sundance
FilmFestival indie feature, he
eventually packed his things to
head out to the city to continue
pursuing acting.
I decided to take this (acting)
career in a more serious direction,
said Martin. I decided to move up
February 2009 without a job,
which I dont recommend to any-
body unless they want to make
things hard for themselves.
While he feels that he is still
gnawing at the bottomof the food
chain in NewYork, he thinks he is
at a higher level fromwhere he
first started. Martin is proud to say
that he has made something out
of nothing.
The Bark of the Underdogs, a
monologue showcase written and
directed by Martin, is a seriocomic
that involves several characters
that respond to their surroundings
and whatever scenarios are thrown
their way. An Off-Off Broadway
hit that has performed two sold-out
shows in NewYork will be coming
to the Little Theatre of Wilkes-
Barre on Sunday, Aug. 14 for a
one-time only showing. Due to
delicate topics and absurd come-
dy, the performance is recom-
mended for ages 18 and older.
These characters I feel reflect
the complexities of the human
condition. We see themstruggling
for something, we see themwork-
ing for their happy endings, said
Martin. We see the honesty and
howthat allows us to really under-
stand these circumstances that the
characters put themselves in.
The reason Martin labels his
characters as underdogs is for the
sake of their struggle to be heard
and to express themselves. The
bark aspect of the title means
that a dog always barks with a
purpose rather than for the sake of
making a sound. Martin, who also
performs various roles in The
Bark of the Underdogs, had to
experience many things in order to
create these characters. He also
added that if the monologues dont
directly relate to stories of his life,
then they are exaggerations of
reality.
Youll laugh until you cry, and
then youll cry because something
is really sad, said Martin. My
goal is to make everybody feel
exhausted and hopefully learn a
little something about themselves.
You should reveal a bigger aspect
of life and challenge your audience
to be engaged and understanding.
In future plans, Martin wants to
continue flirting with the film
industry and look into hiring a
literary agent for his writing ef-
forts. Meanwhile, his constant
endeavor has revolved around
pleasing an audience and reveling
in the good feedback he has re-
ceived on his work.
I like howpeople respond to
things that I do, said Martin.
When youre an athlete, youre
almost like a glorified celebrity in
your hometown, especially if you
do well. I think I like that process.
If you do something well, people
will recognize you for that. Thats
almost the same thing as an actor
or a writer. W

LOS ANGELES Rise of
the Planet of the Apes was the
top banana this weekend, swing-
ing past industry expectations to
easily conquer the box office.
The prequel to the 1968 clas-
sic, which stars James Franco
and a handful of digitalized si-
mians, grossed a strong $54
million domestically, according
to an estimate from distributor
20th Century Fox. Heading into
the weekend, those who had seen
prerelease audience surveys had
projected that the film would
collect around $35 million.
Unfortunately for Universal
Pictures, the weekends other new
film in wide release, the R-rated
comedy The Change-Up, per-
formed about as expected: pretty
badly. The movie, about buddies
played by Ryan Reynolds and
Jason Bateman who accidentally
trade lives and end up in the
others body, mustered a weak
$13.5 million.
Both critics and audiences
seemed to love Apes. The
big-budget film received surpris-
ingly strong reviews, earning an
81 percent fresh rating on Rotten
Tomatoes, and went over well
with crowds this weekend. Those
who saw the movie assigned it an
average grade of A-minus, ac-
cording to market research firm
CinemaScore. (Men made up 54
percent of the audience.)
The solid start for Apes is
good news for Peter Chernin, the
former president of Foxs parent
company, News Corp. In 2009,
the executive left his post as
Rupert Murdochs top lieutenant
to launch his own entertainment
company and Apes is the
first movie the new entity has
produced. The film, which de-
picts how apes acquired the in-
telligence to take over Earth, was
financed by Fox and partners
Dune Capital Management and
Ingenious Media for $93 million.
After the original series of five
Apes films came to a close in
1973, Fox relaunched the brand
again in 2001 with a Tim Burton-
directed version of Planet of the
Apes. The movie was disliked
by critics but did good business.
A decade ago, the film had an
even bigger opening weekend
than the latest Apes movie,
debuting to $68.5 million and
ultimately grossing $362.2 mil-
lion worldwide.
Rise of the Planet of the
Apes also opened this weekend
in 25 foreign markets, where it
raked in a decent $23.4 million.
Audiences in Spain responded
most to the film, as it sold $5.2
million worth of tickets there.
Raunchfest The Change-Up
is one of the few in its genre to
stall at the box office this sum-
mer. Audiences have embraced
R-rated comedies such as Bad
Teacher, Bridesmaids and
Horrible Bosses, all of which
opened to about $10 million
more than The Change-Up.
Those films were also less ex-
pensive to produce, because
Universal and Relativity Media
spent about $52 million to make
the picture a higher-than-
average budget for a comedy.
While most critics seemed to
loathe the movie, audiences
didnt, giving it an average grade
of B. Universal is hoping that
score will fuel positive word-of-
mouth in the coming weeks. W
Caesar, played Andy Serkis, makes a discovery that changes the game in Rise of the
Planet of the Apes.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
Dont let your ego get too inflated by all
the cheerful happy birthday wishes you
got on Facebook. Theyre relatively mea-
ningless. I read an article about a writer
who celebrated three Facebook birthdays
in a month to see how many people would
notice and how many would simply auto-
matically send him a birthday wish all
three times. Almost no one took note, and
many sent him nearly identical messages
each time. So much of what comes your
way these days is pretty devoid of any real
sentiment or meaning including the
negative stuff. Remembering that, and not
taking any of it personally, will go a long
way towards making you a happier person
this week.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Its so easy for people to buy into the
whole what s/he doesnt know cant
hurt, philosophy, particular when it per-
tains to something theyd rather keep se-
cret. They might even be right, assuming
two things: 1. This thing is definitely and
permanently in the past, with no inconve-
nient ghosts that might come back to
haunt both of you, and 2. You never, ever
find out. Discovering someones secret,
and the lies they used to keep it, can feel
like a terrible betrayal, negatively com-
pounding any horrible revelation. Before
you, too, ascribe to this idea, be absolutely
sure both conditions will be met. If they
wont, its better to come clean, right away.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
So many of our social conventions are
completely arbitrary and artificial. Why,
for instance, is one particular finger (our
middle one) so offensive? Only because
we choose to interpret it that way. Refut-
ing these whenever convenient is very
liberating, and demonstrates just how
powerless they really are without your
complete cooperation. Allowing this stuff
to have an effect on you is a choice. If you
dont want it to, it cant bother you. Real-
izing that and keeping it in mind
will have a magnificently potent effect on
the sum total of your joy and serenity this
week.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Overreactions may simply be the name
of the game this week. However, the worst
thing you could do would be to point them
out; that would just escalate this exagger-
ated molehill from bunny slope to double
black diamond mountain; something dra-
matically more treacherous and difficult to
navigate. Instead, you must simply try to
keep a calm head and wait out the storm;
it will pass eventually. It may be tempt-
ing to throw caution to the winds (If they
can get pissed over nothing, damn it, so
can I!), but Id strongly advise against it.
Someones got to be the bigger person
here and that someone is you.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
While losing your job or your lover
or experiencing another setback sucks,
the worst thing you can do is become a
depressed recluse because of it. The only
way to move on from such crappy places
is to shake them off as best you can, rally
yourself and get out there into the world,
putting on the happiest face possible.
Cultivate optimism like a rare, delicate
and precious orchid. That may be easier
said than done, I know, but nevertheless
thats the intention you need to hold in
your mind as you move on from here.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
Bookstores are becoming a very rare
thing; not only are people reading fewer
books, but when shopping for them they
often use online retailers and more and
more frequently buy e-books rather than
the paper kind. I think the only way for
this endangered retail species to survive is
to evolve to provide an experience for
their shoppers, since they almost certainly
cant match the prices and variety provid-
ed by their online competition. Those that
fail to adapt to changing conditions will
go as extinct as the dodo. Why mention
this? Because evolution isnt just some-
thing that happens in nature, and because
the thing you need to evolve is more like a
business than a bird. Start thinking outside
the box, now, before the box disappears.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Your mantra this week is very simple:
This too, shall pass. Change, of course,
is the essence of life. That can be be-
wildering, but when things suck, its also
comforting. Knowing that theres a light at
the end of the tunnel, even if you cant see
(or on some level, even believe) it should
help you carry on. In the meantime, if you
could use help coping with your situation
right now, ask for it. Sure, these are hard
times for everyone, but many angelic
people actually take comfort in helping
others. Let them help you, please.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
Sometimes, when you have a problem,
you just have to suck it up, deal, and get
the hell over it because your problem is
either not as big as you think it is, or not
as bad as the ones youd suddenly be sub-
ject to if you chose to address it. Do you
really feel like adding to the heap of some-
one elses troubles by bringing up this
supposed quandary of yours? What are
you going to do if they decide that youre
the problem, instead? No matter how that
plays out, most scenarios end up with you
in worse difficulty and less happy. Figure
out how to get past this on your own.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
Although life so rarely resembles fairy
tales, especially the happily ever after
bits, fairy tale villains seem to crop up
with surprising regularity. Wicked parents,
vicious trolls (both on- and off-line) and
conniving witches dont just make appear-
ances at Halloween but, in fact, all the
time. Its usually best to keep yourself out
of their storylines, when possible, but
occasionally theres nothing for it but to
step in, especially when you have a chance
to spare an innocent some suffering. In
those cases, you neednt play the fairy-tale
hero (although some might view you as
such, anyway). Just do what you can.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
Money complicates things, and in most
of your relationships, its best to simply
keep it out of the picture entirely. Howev-
er, certain connections particularly
live-in, romantic ones require, at some
point, frank discussions about whos going
to pay for what, how money will be han-
dled and so on, in order to prevent drama
and difficulty further down the line. These
are not romantic things to talk about, nor
particularly fun, but neglecting them will
only cause problems (and get in the way of
romance) later. Since this week is a good
one for such a chat, go ahead and have it,
if any of this mundane stuff is still sitting
around unresolved.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
Giving someone the benefit of the doubt
when they dont deserve it can really get
you into hot shit, Gemini. Thus I can
understand why youre tempted to call
Shenanigans! on this one and see what
happens. However, not granting the bene-
fit of the doubt to someone who does
deserve it is a truly douchebag move, one
youd have a hard time forgiving yourself
for, later. Although admittedly a lousy pair
of options, wouldnt it still be better to get
fooled or taken advantage of than to find
yourself stomping all over someone whos
already down?
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
One of my heroes, Dan Savage, came
up with the term monogamish to de-
scribe couples who are mostly monoga-
mous, but may have a loophole or two
built into their relationship, probably in
order to preserve its long-term viability.
Making up new words, standards, and
rules to suit your life, specifically, is
something I heartily and cheerfully en-
courage, Cancer, since the ones handed
down to you from whoever (generations
past, society in general, etc) arent really
doing you much good. Take a cue from
Dan, and make some shit up that works
for you and yours. W

sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
I
ve had more roommates
over the years than a
foster child. Though I
may try, I will never forget
any of them. Judging by the
stunt I pulled on Mullabah
and Williams, they will nev-
er forget me, either
It was a Tuesday night and
I was getting home after a
long night of bartending. As
I was making my way
through my pitch-black liv-
ing room, I walked right
into an unfamiliar object.
When I turned on the lights,
I saw a cage with two pup-
pies inside. Call me crazy,
but when you share a house
with two football players,
and you come home to find
caged dogs, you cant help
but think of Michael Vick.
My jaw dropped. Why
were there dogs in my living
room? My roommates were
well aware our landlord
made me send Brody to live
with my parents. Why would
they bring home dogs? Were
they engaging in an insidi-
ous underground crime
scene?
The next morning would
reveal the puppies were our
new pets. Now as long as
Mullabah and Williams were
in the company of a Four
Loko and grape-flavored
blunts, they were cool. Other
than that, they thought being
college football players
meant they were entitled to
modify the rules.
They have to go! I de-
manded.
Youre not my parent,
whined Mullabah.
Fine, then Im moving
out, I bluffed.
Though they didnt believe
me, I was about to make
certain they did.
When an old Sigma sister
called and told me she was
in the area later that week
and wanted to get a drink, I
told her she had to pretend
to be a trashy single mom
taking over my lease, so I
could get back at my room-
mates for thinking they
could do whatever they
wanted.
She came in and toured
the house, making my room-
mates nearly shit their pants.
Between faking a series of
argumentative phone calls to
her baby daddy about how
to handle her daughter Prin-
cess Beyonce, and claiming
she was a 30-something bi-
sexual on a meth binge with
an abusive ex, my room-
mates were livid that I was
having her take over my
lease.
I finally revealed the truth
when Mullabah called his
mom in angry tears, scream-
ing, Mom, Im not living
with an old lady with kids!
Do something! For some
reason, he didnt laugh as
much as I did about it. W
F--k keeping up with the
Kardashians. Keep up with

Justin manipulated his

threat of a trashy single

Ride of
the Week
The car has been in my family since it was new,
Richards says. My grandfather bought it new from
Community Buick in Kingston and used it as a daily driver
for more than 20 years. After he died, my grandmother
drove it for a while, but it was really too big for her. I
had to do a lot of bodywork because of all the dents and
scrapes she managed with it.
Eventually she bought something much smaller
and gave (the Buick) to me. Its a big, powerful car. Its
basically just had some body work and a new paint job
Ive tried to keep it as mint as possible. W
