If you’d like to meet some
red worms up close and
personal - and maybe
even take one home to
release in your garden -
you can attend a work-
shop at Jim Thorpe’s
Earth Day festivities.

By MARY THERESE BIEBEL

Consider the earthworm.
Some people might see it and say “Eeew.” They
might even try to squash it if they saw it on a side-
walk.
After a “World of Worms” workshop this weekend
in Jim Thorpe, self-proclaimed “Mad Scientist” Bill
Petterson hopes, people will gain a new apprecia-
tion for the humble creature and its ability to create
rich garden compost from table scraps.
“You can even take one home as long as you prom-
ise to release it in a day or two,” said Petterson,
whose company is called Mad Science of Lehigh
Valley. “We’ve inspired a lot of people to start com-
posting at home, once they realize how easy it is.
You end up getting so much of this beautiful soil –
sometimes people give it away.
“And if you really recycle a lot, you really end up
cutting down on your garbage” that you might pay
to haul away, Petterson added.
That kind of win-win situation is a hallmark of
Earth Day activities around the region, where ecol-
ogists, naturalists and other experts seek to explain
how doing something good for the Earth can have

Organizers of regional Earth Day activities offer the
following suggestions:
1. Walk or cycle instead of driving a short trip.
2. Carpool or take a bus instead of driving a longer trip.
3. Purchase paper products made from recycled material.
4. Compost your food scraps.
5. Don’t run the water while brushing your teeth.
6. Reconsider the purchase of heavily packaged prod-
ucts – and tell the supplier why you’re not buying them.
7. Build a bluebird box and put it in your yard.
8. Plant your own organic garden.
9. Tell your legislators you want them to support envi-
ronmentally friendly legislation.
10. Use a clothesline instead of an electric clothes dryer.

Providing such pathways for pe-
destrians and bicyclists offers op-
portunities not only for recreation
and health-building exercise but al-
so could lead to more people com-
muting to work or school without
using a car, organizer Carol Hussa
said.
It would take a while to get to the
level of bicycle-friendly Seattle or
Portland, Ore., she said, but think
of the fossil fuel that could be con-
served.
“It does take time to build a bike
culture,” she said. “It doesn’t hap-
pen overnight.”

ably the best thing you can do for

Future stars in friendly face-off at Sem

Moving his lips subtly, almost
like a ventriloquist, Harold Ro-
berts grinned and squawked,
“Feed me!”
The Wyoming Seminary stu-
dent didn’t necessarily want a
snack. He’d just been asked a
question about what kind of the-
atrical role he might enjoy, so he
demonstrated the voice he’d
give Audrey, the plant in “Little
Shop of Horrors.”
“That’s so good,” Noah Sun-
day-Lefkowitz said with a de-
lighted laugh.
Roberts, 16, of New York City,
and Sunday, 15, of Shavertown,
are competing with each other
— and with four other teens —
for scholarships to study musi-
cal theater at Wyoming Semina-
ry’s Performing Arts Institute.
But it’s not a cutthroat kind of
competition, the young men ex-
plained on a recent afternoon.
It’s all about being supportive of
each other.
“We try to help them be their
best,” agreed Nancy Sanderson,
PAI director, explaining how
each of the six candidates will re-
ceive an hour of coaching from
PAI theater instructor Bill Rou-
debush before they perform Sun-
day evening during a scholar-
ship competition on the Wyom-
ing Seminary Lower School
stage.
It won’t be like “American
Idol,” Sanderson said, citing the
popular television show. “We
feel ‘American Idol’ is cruel. Any
feedback the judges give won’t
be public and will be construc-
tive.”
Alexa Alfonsi from Johnson
City, N.Y., who has been busy
practicing an arrangement of
“Somewhere Over the Rainbow”
for the competition, said she ap-
preciates that.
“Personally, I like to be told
feedback without the public eye,
whether it’s positive or nega-
tive,” she said in a telephone in-
terview.
Alfonsi said she wants to at-
tend PAI because she’s heard the
instructors expose students to
diverse aspects of theater.
“The people make the experi-
ence so great,” said Sunday-Lef-
kowitz, who participated last
year. “Everybody there cared
about what they did so much.”

student at Good Shepherd Acad-
emy who also attended last
year’s PAI, echoed his senti-
ments.
“I think you learn so many
things about strategy, just get-
ting lost in the script,” said Pil-
lets, who is rehearsing “Gimme,
Gimme” from “Thoroughly
Modern Millie” as well as “I
Know the Truth” from “Aida.”
It’s safe to say all six of the
competitors enjoy performing.
“I basically just love every-
thing about it,” Crestwood stu-
dent Anna Smith of Mountain
Top said.

Choral Arts presents Mozart’s haunting ‘Requiem’
By MARY THERESE BIEBEL
mbiebel@timesleader.com
For years Merry Ann Edwards
of Harveys Lake wanted to join
the Choral Arts of Luzerne Coun-
ty. When she learned the chorus’
2011 spring concert would in-
clude Mozart’s “Requiem,” she
decided not to wait any longer.
“You know you may never have
an opportunity to sing such a
piece with such a talented group.
It’s something to say you’ve ac-
complished it,” Edwards said. “I
just can’t wait to hear it all togeth-
er with the orchestra and soloists
and the entire choral group. I’m
looking forward to the whole
thing.”
Audiences will be able to enjoy
“the whole thing” tonight at St.
Stephen’s Pro Cathedral in
Wilkes-Barre and tomorrow at
Christ Evangelical Lutheran
Church in Conyngham, where
the last piece the famous Wolf-
gang Amadeus Mozart ever com-
posed will be presented.
He was working on the “Requi-
em” — commissioned by Count
von Walsegg to be the musical
portions of a funeral Mass — as
he himself was dying.
“It was a pretty sudden illness
that nobody expected,” choral di-
rector John Curtis said. “He was
composing a lot of work at the
time. He had just written two op-
eras, and his finances were look-
ing up. Then he was stricken by
this illness. The speculation now
is — there are a lot of doctors
who will study the symptoms
and try to diagnose a patient cen-
turies later — that it was some
kind of kidney failure.
“It was a terrible, devastating
illness. It added to the poignancy
and pathos of what he was writ-
ing,” Curtis continued. “Mozart

High-school senior Patrick
Dalrymple of Scranton is familiar
with the “Lacrimosa” because he
sang it last year during a Pennsyl-
vania Music Educators Associ-
ation district chorus festival.
It’s been worth driving from
Scranton to Kingston every week
to rehearse with the Choral Arts
group, he said, because the piece
is so beautiful and touching.
“Haunting is a good word,” he
said.
So is rigorous.
“I sing tenor, and it’s right at
the top of the tenor range, pretty
consistently through the piece,”
Dalrymple said. “The rhythms
are difficult.”

ern completion of Mozart’s “Req-
uiem” which was finished by Har-
vard musicologist Robert Levin.
“Only in the 1960s somebody
discovered a piece of manuscript
paper that had previously been
lost. It’s a fugue on the word
‘Amen.’ A lot of people believe
Mozart intended it to be there,”
Curtis said.
As the chorus sings the fugue,
Curtis said, “The word ‘Amen’ is
coming at you from all over the
place, becoming more and more
intense all the time.”
The concert also will include
Ralph Vaughan Williams’ musi-
cal setting of the poem “Rest” by
Christina Rossetti. Like the Req-
uiem, Williams’ motet deals with
the themes of death, grief, com-
fort and hope for resurrection.

Celebrate folksy songs, record stores

By SARA POKORNY

JOE CROOKSTON loves noth-
ing more than making a connec-
tion through music — with his
audience, with his song subjects
and with his own multifaceted
personality.
The singer-songwriter takes on
the folk genre through an assort-
ment of instruments, such as ban-
jo, piano, accordion and fiddle.
Crookston, who will play a CD
release celebration at 7:30 p.m.
Saturday in Scranton, is well-
known and widely hailed for his
acoustic guitar-picking abilities
and his captivating lyrics.
The Ohio native, who now
lives in Ithaca, N.Y., first picked
up a guitar in high school, but it
wasn’t until the 1987 Kent State
Folk Festival that he was turned
on to folk music.
“After a weekend of amazing
concerts, seeing people like John
McCutcheon, The Horseflies,
and Nanci Griffith, I was blown
away,” Crookston said. “I sold my
electric guitar, bought a steel
string, started writing and never
looked back.”
For the past four years, Crooks-
ton has been performing and
touring full time.

urely you’ve seen them.
Tiny children, barely
able to keep their balance,
toddle around murmuring, “Egg!
Egg!” and picking up plastic prizes
strewnaroundthegroundinplainsight.
If any little ones are carrying a basket, the colorful ova
just might be spilling unheeded from one side as fast as
they can fill the other.
Then there are the older children. They know the ins
and outs of finding eggs hidden a bit deeper under the
greenery, behind a rock or in whatever place a dedicated
bunny/volunteer considered sufficiently challenging.
This weekend and next, the hunts are on.
How does all this magic happen?
“We’re still doing it,” said judicial candidate Paula Rad-
ick, who earlier this week described four volunteers as still
busy inserting candy and the occasional prize ticket into at
least 800 eggs.
The group doesn’t mind, she said. “It’s a welcome-to-
spring-type thing, and it brings back happy memories of
my own childhood.”
Children ages 8 and younger can look for those eggs at 2
p.m. Sunday in Community Park, Hazle Township. (Call
371-5290 to pre-register.)
Other egg-gathering events can be found around the re-
gion, from Public Square in Wilkes-Barre to the Faith As-
semblyofGodChurchinHazleTownship.Andifyouthink
the 5,000 eggs Wilkes-Barre has ordered is a lot, well, Faith
Assembly has twice as many, at 10,000.
“Bring an empty basket or a bag that will surely leave full,”
children’s pastor Maureen Gregory wrote in a press release.

THINK
outside the basket
By SARA POKORNY
spokorny@timesleader.com
A wicker basket and
plastic grass are often giv-
ens when deciding how to dis-
play Easter presents. While
this is a tried-and-true method,
other containers can be used to
pack gifts – and serve a purpose af-
terward.
Why not think outside the basket
and fill something different this year?
You’ll at least cut down on stray grass
strands that pop up in random places
weeks after Easter.
For a child’s basket, think spring.
Children are more than ready now for
higher temperatures and the end of
school, so gift them with supplies:
Adults join the hunt for a nontraditional Easter
By SANDRA SNYDER
ssnyder@timesleader.com
Who says an Easter egg hunt is on-
OK, maybe the kind folks who
generously give of their time plan-
ning so many public egg hunts do.
But for big kids, even full-grown
adults, a self-planned hunt can be
a grand way to act like children
all over again. (Perhaps in the
privacy of their own yards,
where the neighbors might
not watch in disdain.)
We started the tradi-
tion in my family some
• Sidewalk chalk
• Pinwheel
• Kite
• Beach and/or pool toys
• Frisbee
• Bubbles
• Jacks or marbles
• Jump rope
Instead of a basket, try a:
• Bike helmet
• Toy dump truck
• Toy grocery cart
• Toy wheelbarrow
Teenagers and college students can
be challenges. They’re too old for toys
and while they could use the practical
stuff, they often aren’t too keen on it.
See BASKETS, Page 23
years ago when – horrors! – the parents
surprised the grown kids with an East-
er shocker: “We’re going on a cruise
and will be gone for Easter.”
Now this landed as such a bombshell
probably because the truth was we’d all
gotten lazy. We’d started to take Mom
and Dad for granted and assumed it
would be a given they’d do the Easter
ham, turkey and kielbasa and have ev-
eryone over. So when we heard they’d
accepted a travel invitation from close
friends, we knew it was time to fly like
the eagles we were meant to become.
That meant picking a new “host
house” (the eldest sister’s), planning

Squeeze ‘The Naked Grape’ into your routine
F
irst things first: The
Naked Grape is not a
wine bar. I point this out
because I happen to know the
name has led a few people to
that mistaken conclusion. Per-
haps some misconception is
why “The Grape Pub and Eat-
ery” is now etched on the door
of this bar/restaurant/night-
spot tucked into a far corner of
the Weis Plaza in Plains Town-
ship.
Not that you can’t get a glass
or two of wine here in this ve-
ry purple room, where grapes
figure fairly prominently into
the decor. You actually can get
at least five or six, but a quick
glance seemed to indicate the
whites on the list, especially,
favor the sweeter side, so arm-
chair sommeliers might cast a
skeptical eye.
What you can get is a more-
than-decent beer-on-tap selec-
tion, including a local Breaker
Brewing Company pour, and a
host of impressively creative
sandwiches, subs and pizzas.
You also can get a full-on din-
ner, but our visit left us more
convinced casual fare is the
bread and butter here. Seeing
as many nights, weeknights
included, you’ll have a fairly
loud band playing in the back-
ground, you’re more likely,
anyway, to enjoy something
not so fancy at which you can
pick for a stretch.
Our hands-down favorite
item of the night was a single-
crusted small pagach pizza
($6.75), with abundant but
silky mashed potatoes and just
the right onion and herb
notes. The cheese was tangy
and obviously present but not
dominant and did not over-
take, which is the way we like
it. That the pie was piping hot
also was a wonderful bonus.
Because we already had
been to and lately have been
enjoying more and more the
fare at Rodano’s in downtown
Wilkes-Barre (and The Grape
did have a connection to what
is now a Public Square institu-
tion) we passed over several

sought something different,
something not necessarily
evocative of Rodano’s.
So, first up, homemade
gnocchi ($12) off the pasta
menu it was. (We tend to like
words like “homemade.”)
Nothing disappointing here. A
decent-size order of ridged po-
tato-ey dumplings (and as
gnocchi fans know, decent
size means you take half
home) came enrobed in a rich,
dark-red marinara that was
hearty enough to have you al-
most thinking you were eating
a meat sauce. Each bite was a
hearty, filling treat.
A complimentary plate of
garlic bread for two of us to
share almost edged the home-
made gnocchi in a battle for af-
fection. Four generous, lightly
toasted sticks were more
drenched than drizzled in but-
ter with fresh garlic and a just-
right sprinkling of cheese. Our
server told us these can be
purchased separately in slight-
ly higher quantity as an app,
so we were happy to have this
gratis taste.
Now for the dinner dinner
news: My guest ordered a
$13.95 salmon entrée, Parme-
san-cheese encrusted, that,
well, perplexed her, to be hon-
est. Perhaps because the salm-
on was more coated, rather
than crusted, in grated cheese
and breadcrumbs, with noth-
ing really providing moisture,
she found the entrée entirely
too dry and the coating partic-
ularly salty. We did, however,
find a fix, and that was to ask
for a side of the teriyaki sauce
she would have received had
she ordered the teriyaki-style

each other. Then they’re captured
by more smugglers, with help from
a diabolical cockatoo named Nigel,
voiced by Jemaine Clement, a me-
nacing hoot.
They must break free so Blu can
get back to Linda and Jewel can en-
joy independence. That they’re
chained to each other — and Blu
can’t fly — sets up plenty of slap-
stick and elaborate mad dashes.
Nothing deep or heavy – just a
good time and great escape.

‘Joseph and the Holy Grail’ marries life lessons and legends
By MARY THERESE BIEBEL
mbiebel@timesleader.com
As the cast arrived at St.
John the Baptist Church in
Larksville last weekend to re-
hearse the Rev. Gerald J. Gur-
ka’s latest passion play, sever-
al actors described their char-
acters as people who made
mistakes.
Judas? “A conflicted charac-
ter,” said Colin McFarland,
18, who has the role of the
apostle-turned-traitor. “Not
so much a bad guy as some-
one who made a bad deci-
sion.”
Pilate? “He could’ve made a
stand. He could’ve done the
right thing,” Jeremy Shrawd-
er, 30, said of the Roman gov-
ernor who approved Jesus’ ex-
ecution in ancient Jerusalem.
“His wife saw the right thing
to do, but Pilate saw the polit-
ical ramifications.”
In this play, titled “Joseph
and the Holy Grail,” Joseph of
Arimathea also has his short-
comings — giving into his
fears time and again. The
wealthy merchant is glad to
be a disciple of Jesus, who in
this version of the story is al-

These gifts should be useful but cool:
• Drink bottle
• Car-wash gift certificate

• USB flash drive
• A magazine, with a subscription
• Picture frames
Instead of a basket, use:
• Laundry basket

Sticking with a theme is easy yet
personal, particularly when it comes
to buying for adults.
Color-coordinated plates, bowls,
pitchers and other cookout necessi-
ties can be arranged in a large plastic
drink bin later.
A tool box can be used instead of a
basket for a handyman or a tackle box
for a fisherman. A sewing basket can
be filled with accoutrements for
those handy with a needle or a cake-
decorating caddy or mixing bowl for
a chef or baker.
• For a gardener, a “basket” can be
a breeze – and inexpensive. Dollar
stores sell many basic gardening
tools. Include a kneeling pad, gloves,
seeds and floral scissors in a canvas
bag, and you’ll have a happy green
thumb.
Sports fanatics are another breeze.
Arrange purchases related to a favor-
ite team in a cooler or on a folding
bleacher seat or lounge chair.
Or, if you’d really like to mix things
up but still use a traditional basket,

Q. I am a watcher of “Criminal

like one of his eyes is bad. Which
one?

A. I take it you are referring to series

star Forest Whitaker; the Oscar win-
ner has a condition called ptosis, or
drooping eyelid, in his left eye. He
once told Esquire magazine that “It’s
a genetic thing. ... I think maybe for
other people, it informs the way they
see me. But I don’t really think about
this eye, other than the times people
talk about it, or when people take
photographs of me sometimes they
might say stuff about it. I don’t think
it makes me look bad or anything. It
just is.”

the onset of World War I, leaving
many plots unresolved. Will it ever
be continued?

A. A second season of the serialized

drama is in the works, and PBS
has announced plans to air it in
winter 2012. Julian Fellowes will
continue as writer, and the cast
will once again include Maggie

by the way, is available on DVD and

HOROSCOPE from being a sheer delight to your rapt

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s no secret
that you’re a giver. You’ll bring around
someone else’s good fortune.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your dreams
of last night affect the start of your day.
Your subconscious has had its fun, but in
the morning light, it is time to push the

of your own mind and mood.

audience.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Avoid a game
that’s too easy for you. Your nerves will
tell you whether you’re playing at the
right level.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your energy is
vibrant, though not necessarily constant.
As superhuman as you feel, you still
require downtime to recharge.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will be in
a cautious mood, looking out for those
more reckless. Someone has to! Your
kindness will not be directly repaid, but
doing the right thing is its own reward.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll work on

you’ll attract more of the same.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be in a
spunky mood, and you’ll be less guarded
with what you do and say. Because of
this, you have the potential to brighten
someone’s day or ruin it, and of course,
you’ll choose the first option.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Unbeknownst to you, you are drawing
someone in with the intensity of your
presence, your sparkling eyes and the
gusto you add to the conversation.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Though
you are open and curious, you will not be
easily won. Furthermore, it will take an
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You choose
what you want because you think it
would be fun to have it. You will be care-
ful not to choose out of insecurity or
need and will not respond to pressure.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Get back into
your hobby. Loved ones may at first
be jealous of the time you spend doing
“your thing,” but they will ultimately be
happy for you, as doing what you enjoy
makes you a more loving person.
