Letter from the editor
I think its safe to say that
just about everyone will always
remember where they were the
morning of Tuesday, Sept. 11,
2001.
I was getting ready for work
at my old job, and being a
chronic Get-Up-Early kind of
girl, I always had time to kill
in the morning to putter
around the house, check my
e-mail, etc.
I sat down on the couch
around 8:30 a.m. to log onto
my WebTV (yes, WebTV) and
was listening to some music in
the background when my
friend instant messaged me
with Did you see the
news?!?! I didnt and told her
so, to which she replied,
Look! Now!
I flipped over to CNN and
saw a report that a plane had
hit the first tower of the
World Trade Center,
but I didnt quite
get it. At first I
thought it was a
trailer for another
Armageddon mo-
vie or similar
until the second
plane hit as mil-
lions of us watched
in horror.
As plane crash
reports from Wash-
ington, D.C., and
Shanksville, Pa.,
came in, it became
evident that some-
thing was gravely
wrong and that life as we
know it would be forever al-
tered.
That bright September day
may be 10 years gone now for
many of us, but for some, its
a day that changed the way
they work, like the fire chiefs
we spoke to for this weeks
cover story, and its a day that
could have been their last, like
the former New York City
police officer who shared with
us her emotional account of
being among the first respon-
ders that sunny Tuesday morn-
ing.
Everyone has a story about
Sept. 11. And its one that
none of us will ever forget.
God bless.

11 at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.
TSO was conceived by Paul
ONeill and has sold more
than 7 million albums.
The whole idea, ONeill
explained in a press release,
was to create a progressive
rock band that would push the
boundaries further than any
group before, following in the
footsteps of Emerson, Lake &
Palmer, Pink Floyd, the Who
... but take it way, way fur-
ther.
Tickets are $31.50-$59.50

Sept. 10 at 10 a.m. via Ticket-
master, 800.745.3000 and the
venue box office. Box office

a.m.-6 p.m., Saturday, 10
a.m.-4 p.m. and during events
on Sundays.

The Pines Dinner Theatre
(448 N 17th St., Allentown)

day, Sept. 9 with Ted Swin-
dleys hit musical Always-
Patsy Cline. Always
celebrates the life of country
music legend Patsy Cline
through her correspondence
with fan Louise Seger. Cline
died in a plane crash in 1963.
The Pines production fea-
tures Stacey B. Yoder as
Cline and Forty Fort native
Amber Kerestes as Seger.
The show runs from Sept.

Launched in response to the
tragic events of Sept. 11,
2001, Interdependence Day
was created to reflect on the
importance of living peaceful-
ly in a global society.
In association with other
events at the college, The

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
THE SMELL OF NUKES
IN THE MORNING
Richard Handl, 31, was arrest-
ed in southern Sweden in July
after a raid on his home. He had
been trying for months to set up
a nuclear reactor in his kitchen,
but became alarmed when a brew
of americium, tritium and ber-
yllium created a nuclear melt-
down on his stove. Only then, he
said, did it occur to him to ask
the countrys Radiation Authority
if what he was doing was legal,
and the subsequent police raid
answered that question. No dan-
gerous radiation level was detect-
ed, but Handl still faces fines and
a maximum two-year prison
sentence for unauthorized pos-
session of nuclear materials.
THE ENTREPRENEURIAL
SOCIETY
For the Self-Indulgent: (1) The
fashion designer Chandrashekar
Chawan recently created gold-
plated, diamond-studded contact
lenses that make eyes sparkle
(not always a good thing, ad-
mitted Chawan, citing reviews
calling the look cringeworthy
and demonic). According to an
MSNBC report, the bling part
never actually touches the cor-
nea. (2) Among the trendiest
avant-garde beauty treatments are
facial applications made from
snail mucus, according to a July
report by Londons Daily Mail.
South Korean glamour consult-
ants were the first to use mollusk

LEADING ECONOMIC
INDICATORS
-- Augustin James Evangelista
is only 4 years old, but he never-
theless has certain financial
needs which amount to about
$46,000 a month, according to
the child-support request filed by
his mother, supermodel Linda
Evangelista. A Wall Street Jour-
nal reporter concluded that the
figure is about right for rich kids
in New York City, what with
needing a driver, designer
clothes, around-the-clock nannies
and various personalized lessons.
And soon, according to a con-
sultant-to-the-rich interviewed in
August by the Journal, Augustin
James will become even more
expensive, as he graduates from
his exclusive preschool and en-
ters his exclusive kindergarten.
-- The highest-paid state gov-
ernment employee in budget-
strapped California in 2010 was
among the least productive work-
ers in the system, according to a
Los Angeles Times investigation
reported in July. Jeffrey Rohlfing
is on the payroll as a surgeon in
the state prison system (base pay:
$235,740), but he has been
barred from treating inmates for
the last six years because super-
visors believe him to be incom-
petent. Last year, Dr. Rohlfing
earned an additional $541,000 in
back pay after he successfully
appealed his firing to the states
apparently easily persuaded
Personnel Board. Currently, Dr.
Rohlfing is assigned records-
keeping duties.
NO, THANKS!
Terry Barth complained to
hospital officials that he was
kidnapped by paramedics and
thus cannot be liable for the
$40,000 he has been billed by
Enloe Medical Center in Chico,
Calif., where he was brought by
ambulance following a motorcy-
cle crash in August 2010. Barth
said he had insisted at the scene
that paramedics not take him to a
hospital because he had no med-
ical insurance. (Paramedics are
legally required to take anyone
with a serious head injury.)
MEDICAL MARVEL
-- The first published instance
of a womans nipple appearing on
the sole of her foot was noted in
a 2006 report in the journal Der-
matology and reprised in a series
of U.S. and British press reports
in July 2011. The reporting physi-
cians, led by Dr. Delio Marques
Conde, acknowledged that out-
of-place breast tissue, while
extremely rare, has shown up
before on the back, shoulder,
face and thigh. The foot nipple
was well-formed, with areola
and sebaceous glands.
OUR ANIMAL SIDEKICKS
-- What took them so long to
think of this? Most wineries rely
on the human nose (to detect
out-of-place odors), said the
vintner of the Australian bou-
tique wine Linnaea, but that is
time-consuming, costly, and
nowhere as reliable as Belle.
Miss Louisa Belle is a 7-year-old
bloodhound possessing, of
course, a nose that is reportedly
2,000 times more sensitive than
the human nose. Her primary
job, the vintner told Melbournes
Herald Sun in July, is to sniff out
tainted corks during the bottling
process.
LEAST COMPETENT
PEOPLE
-- (1) Police in Roseville,
Mich., arrested a 24-year-old
roofer in August and charged
him with reckless driving after he
hit four cars. He had noticed that
his brakes had failed but unad-
visedly tried to drive on, anyway,
by extending his left leg out the
drivers side door and braking
manually (yes, as in The
Flintstones). According to po-
lice, the man was completely
sober. (2) In Durango, Colo.,
Sean Ogden, 19, was seriously
burned in July when he tried to
break down fireworks he had
purchased in order to build even
bigger ones. He was mixing them
in a coffee-bean grinder.

hen it comes to the cloud-
free morning of Sept.
11, 2001, we all have a
story to tell. Most of us
remember where we were when we heard
the harrowing news that airplanes ew
into the World Trade Center. Some of
us were at school or home, likely doing
something routine, and some of us were
at work.
Hazamoon Lisa Cahill was one of the
individuals at work at 1 Police Plaza,
New York, N.Y., just a few blocks from
what is now known as Ground Zero.
Instead of just hearing about the incident,
she saw and felt it.
While I was in the midst of X-raying
someone our building shook, said
Cahill, who retired from the force in
2004. Our building is made of all brick,
we dont have (beams), we dont have
anything like that. So if it comes down,
its going to come down.
Unlike some of her co-workers,
Cahill, who was certied by the U.S.
Marshals Service in X-ray screening
for weapons and explosives, had a gut
feeling that it couldnt have been a bomb.
I shut my post down temporarily, and
I went outside to one of the recruits and
the company sergeant, Cahill explained.
And I said, Ofcer, what happened,
whatd you see? And he said, Ofcer,
a commercial jet airliner just ew into
one of the towers, one of the buildings.
I looked up at it, and you couldnt tell
because it literally just happened. There
was no smoke or anything, it was still
white. It was still normal looking. But
after a few seconds, I saw the re and the
smoke.
Cahill was handing out masks on the
street when the second tower fell. She
was in the line of the debris. Thanks
to an unknown savior, however, she
survived.
The debris was coming my way,
the smoke and everything, and I knew I
was going to die, Cahill recalled. And
somebody had picked me up and threw
me into one of our checkpoint booths.
The single-man checkpoint booth saved
my life. Slammed the door and took off,
whoever it was.
Her recollection of the day is one
lled with sorrow, horror and shock.
Speaking about the incident does not
seem to be easy, especially because
some of what she saw was graphic, but
Cahill, who suffers from post-traumatic
stress disorder and asthma because of the
attacks, wants to make sure people never
forget what happened. From the way she
spoke about that day, it seems it will be
indelibly etched in her mind.
These are just people going to work,
who must have kissed their children and
their wives goodbye. And they never
came home, she said.
Though the anguish was great that
day, so, too, was a sense of solidarity. For
Cahill, nowhere was this more apparent
than in the case of her close friend, Tom
Croce. Croce was told to leave work and
go home that day, and instead he reported
to Cahills post, ready to help.
And I greatly admire that man for
what he did for this job, Cahill said.
Do you know how much time he
dedicated to 9/11 and Ground Zero? And
the difference he made in the lives of the
police ofcers working there? This man
is an amazing man for how much easier
he made our lives during that very harsh
time period.
Everybodys coming to the cops for
help, and this man stepped in and took
care of the police ofcers when he didnt
have to.
Though the images continue to haunt
her, Cahill has managed to move forward
with her life. She ended up moving
to Luzerne and now owns Hazamoon
Creations, a shop named after her mother
where she restructures vintage fabric to
create one-of-a-kind pieces. Though she
was left with hand injuries during her
rescue 10 years ago, she hasnt let that
hinder her.
I mean, I have injuries from (being
thrown into the checkpoint booth),
because he threw me headrst, she said.
And my hands, they bend all the way
back now. Not good for the line of work
that Im doing, but I love sewing, so I
manage.
Her support network includes two
women, Deanna Fisk and Kym Vest, who
help out with the shop. All three women
came into one anothers lives when they
needed friendship the most.
The timing was incredible, Cahill
said.
She makes no effort to return to New
York, except when she has to.
I have to report once a year to New
York City, which is the hardest day of
the year for me, Cahill said. But I will
never go back. I dont ever want to go
back to New York City.
Also a member of the Naval Reserves,
Cahill chose to continue the efforts here
at home instead of heading overseas in
the aftermath of Sept. 11.
I had a choice, because I was a cop,
to stay with my comrades to help search
and recover or go with my military unit
in the Navy, and I chose to stay behind,
Cahill said. We absolutely gave it our
all. We did the best we could. W

he events of September 11,
2001 left a scar on the heart of
every American. Some of us
were affected from a distance,
watching the horric images from
the World Trade Center, the Pentagon
and Shanksville, Pa. play across our
television screens like a nightmare we
couldnt shake. Others were even more
personally altered in the wake of the
tragedy, whether it was emotionally,
physically or professionally.
Ten years later, and the progress our
emergency response teams have made
and the memories that will eternally burn
of those who were lost prove that we
will, indeed, never forget.
NOT INVAIN
O
n that fateful day in 2001, nearly
3,000 people lost their lives,
including 343 reghters and 60
police ofcers. Its easy to let the weight
of those numbers bear down on us with
immeasurable sadness. But what we also
need to remember is that about 25,000
people were rescued that day, thanks
to the heroic efforts of the emergency
responders who risked their lives, and
often gave their lives, doing their jobs.
Yes, thousands died, but thousands
more were saved, said Jay Delaney,
chief of the Wilkes-Barre Fire
Department. And a lot of these people,
reghters and cops, went in knowing
that they were not going to live. But yet,
they got (the survivors) out.
Chief Delaneys ofce is in the re
department building on Ross Street. And
in it, amidst the various accomplishments
hes made during his career and family
photos and paperwork, are some
small reminders of the life-changing
events that occurred that September
day: Photos from the rubble, such as
the iconic image of three ash-covered
reghters raising an American ag,
are featured prominently on his wall
and shelves. Anew uniform shirt that
members of the department can wear on
duty, emblazoned with a shoulder patch
displaying the towers and a reman, was
laid out on one of his chairs.
For Delaney, the need to memorialize
the lives lost while guring out a way to
move forward from the events of that day
is palpable.
I do not want those 343 reghters
and 60 cops to have died in vain, nor the
sacrice that all of their families made,
he explained. So I think all of us in
the emergency service have worked to
make things safer today, our emergency
response patterns safer today Not
saying there wasnt organization back
then, but now, the federal government
mandated us all to be able to work
together to manage emergency.
The Pennsylvania Emergency
Management Agency, the Luzerne
County Emergency Management Agency
are doing a lot more to make sure that
were better protected.
The Scranton Fire Departments
Deputy Chief Al Lucas noted, as well,
that although his team members still
perform their job with the same care and
made in a continuing effort to better the
response to disasters and emergencies.
Among those steps is the inclusion of
interoperable communication, where the
re, police and public works departments
and emergency services, among others,
can communicate whenever they need to.
The National Incident Management
System is another new federally
mandated program intended to provide
a structured framework for responding
to any kind of threat, whether natural
or terroristic, and Delaney explained
that the idea of an on-scene Incident
Command System, employing the
concept of command and control, fully
accounts for the location and actions of
each responder.
Additionally, education has come
to the forefront. Counter-terrorism
classes are an important aspect of re
training now, and the issue of dealing
with terrorism is weaved into all of
the training emergency workers must
participate in.
Now, even if we took just a simple
class, every curriculum has at least a
line put in there about terrorism, Lucas
explained.
In essence, the numerous progressive
changes that have been made seem
to center around education and pre-
planning.
Weve got into more of a preparation
mode and a pre-planning mode,
Delaney said. So Im going to say that
weve become more proactive than
reactive.
Lucas reiterated this idea, noting that
our preparedness has increased because
now, in a way, we all have to expect the
unexpected.
Im sure anybody, today, getting on
an airplane thinks of terrorism, Lucas
explained. When, pre-9/11, that was
how we got caught off guard, is that
no one thought this was ever going to
happen. No one thought hi-jackers would
run a plane into a building. Now, we
have to think about that in a plane, same
in the re profession. You never thought
about going to a car re and thinking,
this could be a potential car bomb, but
now it could be. W

concern as before, there is now a new
aspect to keep in mind when approaching
any emergency situation.
Homeland Security has changed
a lot of the training to make us more
aware of potential terroristic threats as
were responding to what used to be a
routine incident, he said. Now, youre
constantly trained, since 9/11, to be
looking for the out-of-the ordinary.

he classic Chinese opera
Butterflys Love is
coming to Scranton. The
award-winning Shanghai Yue
Opera will perform a tradition-
al tragedy often compared to
Romeo and Juliet at Mary-
wood Universitys Sette La-
Verghetta Center for the Per-
forming Arts Saturday, Sept.
10 at 7:30 p.m. The opera is
part of a performing-arts ex-
change organized by the U.S.-
China Cultural and Educational
Foundation.
Fred David Romines, direc-
tor of bands at Marywood and
board member of the U.S.-
China CEF, is part of a com-
bined Marywood effort to host
the event as a gift to the com-
munity.
The opera is set over 1,500
years in the past during the
Eastern Jin Dynasty and cen-
ters on Zhu Yingtai, an in-
telligent and beautiful woman
who desires an education that
at the time is only available to
males. Driven to make some-
thing of herself, she disguises
herself as a young man and
becomes established as a great
student.
Through the course of her
studies, Zhu falls in love with
her classmate Liang Shanbo,
who is completely unaware
that his dear friend Zhu could
be anything other than his
sworn brother.
The rest of the story re-
volves around how is she go-
ing to break the news to this
young man that she is actually
a woman and shes fallen in
love with him, Romines ex-
plained. Thats where the
tragic element begins. This
type of opera from southern
China is a highly costumed,
very elaborate, with lots of
makeup, and it was performed
by women only. So the troupe
that is coming to Marywood is
an all-female cast.
Unlike Shakespearean plays,
which originally featured only
males with young men portray-
ing female characters, Shanghai
Yue Opera is traditionally fe-
male only. In this case, But-
terflys Love features a cast
whose male characters will all
be performed by women. The
actresses who are performing
in Scranton were brought to-
gether through auditions from
all across China.
They recruited the whole
country to bring this all-star
cast together for the American
tour, Romines said. They are
all specialists in this genre of
opera. These ladies are all
top-tier performers.
The Shanghai Yue style is
very unique compared to fa-
miliar western opera, the per-
formance is culturally charged
and features traditional in-
struments and costumes.
I think that the audience
will feel the most impressed
with the costumes, which are
very bright and colorful, the
expressiveness that is achieved
through this kind of makeup,
Romines said. Theres the
graceful movement, the ges-
tures that is so important in
this, one of the things that is
so important to this is the
colorful style of singing. Its
very elaborate, highly orna-
mented and stylistic in nature.
The singing, along with the
rest of the opera, strives to be
an authentic representation of
Chinese culture and will be
performed in Chinese support-
ed by English subtitles.
Its all about cultural ex-
change and hoping that this
will be the beginning of some
fertile relationships between
Marywood University and the
entities that are represented in
this project and China as
well, Romines stated. W

Chinese opera Butterflys Love

The Help didnt have to

work hard to maintain its
box office dominance over
Labor Day, effortlessly claiming
the No. 1 spot for the third
weekend in a row.
The adaptation of Kathryn
Stocketts novel of pre-civil
rights Mississippi has been
cleaning up at the multiplex
ever since its premiere almost
four weeks ago, when it
opened behind Rise of the
Planet of the Apes. In an
unlikely feat, solid word-of-
mouth has since propelled the
film to the top spot at the box
office every weekend since.
The film sold $19 million
worth of tickets domestically
over the four-day weekend,
according to an estimate from
distributor Walt Disney Studios.
The picture, which stars an
ensemble cast featuring Viola
Davis, Octavia Spencer and
Emma Stone, has now accumu-
lated $123.4 million after 27
days in release.
Labor Day weekend is tradi-
tionally one of the slowest of
the year for the movie busi-
ness, and 2011 was no excep-
tion. Ticket sales were up a
slight 5 percent compared with
the same period last year, but
three new films still failed to
muster impressive results.
The Debt, a Holocaust
action drama, had a better-than-
expected opening, grossing
$12.6 million during the long
weekend. The horror film
Apollo 18 took in $10.7 mil-
lion falling short of indus-
try projections that it would
win the weekend with about
$15 million. Meanwhile, the
thriller Shark Night 3-D,
which had the benefit of 3-D
ticket surcharges, scared up a
modest $10.3 million.
The Debt, which received
the best reviews by far of any
film opening over the weekend,
was also the premiere most-
liked by audiences. Those who
saw the film starring Helen
Mirren and Jessica Chastain
70 percent of whom were at
least 40 years old gave it
an average grade of B, accord-
ing to market research firm
CinemaScore.
Apollo 18 is the latest
movie this year from Weinstein
Co.s Dimension Films label to
underperform after Spy
Kids: All the Time in the
World in 4-D and Scream 4.
The sci-fi-horror film, which
purports to show found foot-
age from a U.S. space mis-
sion, has no major stars and its
mysterious marketing campaign
revealed little about the films
story. The movie received a
dismal average grade of D
from moviegoers, indicating
they may have expected some-
thing quite different from what
they got. Those who saw the
movie were 57 percent male,
and 56 percent were under age
25.
Like Apollo 18, Shark
Night 3-D was not screened
in advance for critics usu-
ally a sign that a studio is
nervous about its reception.
Indeed, those who saw the film
about a shark that targets vaca-
tioners were hardly enamored
of it giving it an average
grade of C. The movie ap-
pealed slightly more to women
accounting for 52 percent
of the audience while 57
percent were younger than 25.
The film, produced for about
$25 million by Incentive Film-
ed Entertainment and Sierra/
Affinity, was released by Rela-
tivity Media, which is covering
the pictures marketing and
distribution expenses. W

tech talk
By Nick Delorenzo
Special to the Weekender
T
he best-laid plans some-
times fall apart due to
government intervention,
and that could be happening to
the planned takeover of T-Mobile
by AT&T.
AT&T has had its eye on T-
Mobile for a while. T-Mobile
owns a substantial chunk of the
cellular broadcast spectrum, and
AT&T needs the additional
breathing room as its own net-
works grow increasingly congest-
ed.
As more customers get smart-
phones, wireless modems and the
like, they use up more of the
carriers available bandwidth. In
the end, AT&T is left with four
choices:
It can clamp down on data
usage, which would annoy cus-
tomers and potentially cause
them to leave.
It can raise rates, which
would also annoy their custom-
ers, and cause them to leave.
It could petition the FCC to
auction off more of the spectrum,
which would not only take time,
but would incur significant ex-
pense, which they would then
have to pass along to the custom-
ers, which would annoy them,
and cause them to leave.
Or, it could buy another,
smaller provider and use that
spectrum to augment its own,
also gaining a whole slew of
customers, stores and coverage.
Ahh, now youre talking. AT&T
is an old hand at that game. But
the last time it reached into the
proverbial cookie jar this deeply,
it got its hand slapped, and this
time, it seems the government
has put the Thin Mints on top of
the fridge, where AT&T cant get
them.
The government has decided to
sue to prevent AT&T from ac-
quiring T-Mobile, stating that it
would remove a significant
competitive force from the mar-
ket.
In AT&Ts defense, this move
would have created several thou-
sand jobs, which are vitally need-
ed by the economy.
On the other hand, AT&T has
an invidious reputation regarding
their coverage and pricing
snapping up a more affordable
provider may have driven up the
prices of plans for just about
everyone.
Its possible it could have re-
tained the T-Mobile lower-pricing
structure, but the governments
suit seems to indicate skepticism
as to whether that would be the
case.
In any event, for now, it would
appear that the merger is off,
pending a formal ruling. My
take: Competition keeps you on
your toes. It makes things in-
teresting, and, more to the point,
it has a tendency to provide a
better experience to the consum-
er. W

hat possible impact
could a young pop
musician make if given
just 18 months to carve out a
career? Only the most dreamy-
eyed optimist could think of
placing 10 hits on the Billboard
Hot 100 chart, much less scor-
ing induction into the Rock and
Roll Hall of
Fame and
continuing to
win fans
among new
generations of
musicians and
listeners more
than a half-
century later.
Yet thats
what Buddy
Holly accom-
plished in his
short time in
the spotlight,
from the day
he first entered the national
sales charts on Aug. 12, 1957,
with Thatll Be the Day until
the plane crash on Feb. 3, 1959,
that took his life at age 22
along with those of Ritchie
Valens and the Big Bopper (J.P.
Richardson).
Wednesday, Sept. 7 marks
what would have been the Texas
rockers 75th birthday, when the
world can once again wonder,
What if?
If you had to pick one un-
timely death of someone who
would have had a really in-
teresting and extensive future, it
would be Buddy Holly, said
veteran musician, producer and
talent manager Peter Asher,
executive producer of Listen to
Me, one of two new all-star
tribute albums that put a multi-
generational spin on such Holly
classics as Peggy Sue, Thatll
Be the Day, Not Fade Away,
Maybe Baby and True Love
Ways.
Asher has a particularly close
relationship with the last song
it was a Top 20 pop hit for
him in 1965 with his singing
partner, Gordon Waller, when
they were better known as Brit-
ish pop duo Peter and Gordon.
Asher even modeled his own
appearance on Hollys, copying
his signature horn-rimmed
glasses.
He changed the look of rock
n roll, and he changed the
definition of exactly who could
become a rock star, writes
James Henke, vice president of
exhibition and curatorial affairs
at the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame, in the liner notes for
Listen to Me. Buddy Holly
did not come across as a hotter-
than-thou, sexier-than-thou per-
former. Nope,
Buddy Holly was
the Average Joe.
Listen to Me
opens with Ste-
vie Nicks happi-
ly rocking atop
the Bo Diddley
beat of Not
Fade Away and
includes the Fray
handling Take
Your Time,
Ringo Starr
shuffling through
Think It Over,
Chris Isaak
crooning Crying Waiting Hop-
ing and Cobra Starship reima-
gining Peggy Sue. Beach Boys
mastermind Brian Wilson layers
his signature harmonies into the
title track.
Zooey Deschanel sweetly
follows in Linda Ronstadts
footsteps on Its So Easy.
Deschanel in her other guise
as half of She & Him is the
common thread between Listen
to Me and Rave On, the
recently released tribute pro-
duced by Randall Poster and
Gelya Robb with tracks from
Paul McCartney, the Black
Keys, Patti Smith, Lou Reed,
Kid Rock, Nick Lowe, Modest
Mouse, My Morning Jacket,
Cee Lo Green and nearly a
dozen other artists.
The tribute albums constitute
just part of the many celebra-
tions of Hollys life and music
surfacing in conjunction with
the 75th birthday anniversary.
Wednesday has been declared
Buddy Holly Day in Los
Angeles, and he will receive a
star on the Hollywood Walk of
Fame, which will be presented
in the presence of his widow,
Maria Elena Holly, who will
speak along with Asher and old
friend Phil Everly. W

reakdown Jimmy loves
its 80s hair metal. And
while you might expect
that from a band of 40-some-
things, this NEPA trio has
two teenagers in its lineup.
Its just the music that we
like, says drummer Mike
Stash, 16. We go and see
other local bands when we
can, and we support them.
We see Bad Hair Day, M80,
Absolution and Curse of
Sorrow all different kinds
of genres. But Ive grown up
on hair-metal music. Im a
big fan of Poison and Rikki
Rockett. The style, the lyrics,
the guitar solos I heard
the song Fallen Angel, and
thats what got me hooked.
Breakdown Jimmy also
features Karyn Montigney on
guitars and vocals and Tim
Wolfe on bass and vocals.
Despite their youth, theyve
been able to get gigs at
clubs such as Rox 52, Kil-
coynes, The Chicken Coop,
Senunas and Chackos. The
group offers covers of acts
such as Poison, Lynyrd Sky-
nyrd, Blink-182, Joan Jett,
Journey, Sublime, Billy Idol,
Tom Petty and Neil Young.
On Saturday, Sept. 10, the
band will perform at a bene-
fit show at Kings Pizza in
Mountaintop. Later that same
night, itll perform at Bottle
Caps in Plymouth. Other live
dates and more info about
the band can be found at
facebook.com/breakdownjm-
my.
Stash says the group takes
pride in being not only musi-
cians, but also entertainers.
We just start talking to
everybody and having a good
time, he says. We like
crowd involvement, and we
try to get everybody pumped
up. Dancing is key. We want
to make peoples feet sore by
the end of the night.
BADLEES IN THE HOUSE
The Badlees have two up-
coming shows in NEPA:
1) On Friday, Sept. 9, the
band will perform at the
Luzerne County Fair in Dal-
las. They will do sets at 7
p.m. and 8 p.m.
2) On Friday, Oct, 21, the
band will perform at the
Mauch Chunk Opera House
in Jim Thorpe. Music starts
at 8:30 p.m. and, like the
bands show in Jim Thorpe
last fall, the group will be
doing something special for
this gig. Last year, it offered
the classic River Songs
album in its entirety. This
year, the bands been taking
requests from fans via Face-
book and will be performing
a set of rarities. Opening the
show will be Miz.
RUSH ROCK-DOC:
FANTASTIC
I am what youd call a
casual Rush fan. I have a
few of its CDs and, when
Ive reviewed its concerts,
Ive enjoyed them. Theyve
even got some tunes in their
catalog that arent very well-
known, yet are favorites of
mine. Still, Id say casual
is the best way to describe
my level of fandom. That
being said, I also feel that
the Rush documentary, Be-
yond The Lighted Stage is
the best rock-doc Ive ever
seen. It examines the groups
entire history in magnificent
detail, and its extremely well
done. Theres high-quality
archival footage and some
extremely candid reflections
by the band. It is thoughtful,
honest and at times, inspir-
ing. If youre a fan even
of the casual sort you
should really check it out. It
is now shown frequently on
VH1 Classic.
SEPT. 11
As we note the 10th anni-
versary of Sept. 11 this week,
Ive been thinking back on
some of the music I was
listening to at the time. Ill
always remember driving
around New York City just a
few weeks later, listening to
Walk On, Peace On
Earth and New York by
U2. All three songs were
released less than a year
before Sept. 11, yet all three,
in some ways, seemed stun-
ningly fitting. And, less than
a year later, Bruce Spring-
steen delivered The Rising,
which was largely inspired
by the events of Sept. 11.
Nothing really offered any
solace, but at that crazy and
confusing time, Im glad that
some of the best songwriters
of our time were there for
us.
We will all reflect this
week.
Never forget. W

ralphie report
the
By Ralphie Aversa
Special to the Weekender

American Idol finalist

Casey Abrams recently
revealed on The Ralphie
Radio Show that he is feeling
no symptoms of his ulcerative
colitis after receiving an infusion
of remedies in New York City.
All the remedies are kicking
in, said Abrams. Ive been
completely normal.
Abrams revelation is great
news, especially if youve fol-
lowed the jazz singers progres-
sion throughout the competition.
There was a point when it was
rumored that Abrams condition
would force him to drop out of
Idol. But the artist made it to
the tour with the finalists, and
hes joining forces with Janssen
Biotech and the Crohns and
Colitis Foundation of America to
bring more awareness to the issue
with a new website, IBDIcon-
s.com.
People can send in their sto-
ries, he explained. I just happen
to be on a TV show and have it.
Theres people out there that have
way more interesting and in-
spiring stories.
Dont allow Abrams modesty,
though, to downgrade his story:
The singer overcame the disorder
while competing on the most
watched television show in the
country. Not only did Abrams
compete, but he performed with
a uniqueness and style that
grabbed the audiences attention.
Ending a performance once by
kissing Jennifer Lopez didnt
hurt things either.
After kissing J-Lo, I turned on
the news, and it was me kissing
J-Lo, so that was pretty cool,
Abrams recalled. That gave
(me) a perspective.
SABI SPEAKS ON BRITNEY,
NICKI, COBRA
Last June, Cobra Starship
lead singer Gabe Saporta di-
vulged that for the bands last
album, Hot Mess, he wanted
to work with Sabi. His record
label had other plans (read:
Leighton Meester).
Sabi, who would eventually
link with Cobra for the single,
You Make Me Feel, says
she knew about this after
Saporta also told her the same
story.
I was like, Word? Nobody
told me about anything! the
singer, born Jenice Sab-bion
Portlock, responded. I was just
happy that we eventually got to
work together, because I was a
fan of theirs. I had no idea they
even knew I existed.
But thanks to the Internet,
Cobra Starship not only knew
she existed, but saw her dance
and heard her sing. And thank-
fully for Sabi, the Cobras arent
her only famous friends: Super-
producer Dr. Luke is the exec-
utive producer on her debut al-
bum. The hit-maker linked Sabi
with Britney Spears, and it
yielded the track (Drop Dead)
Beautiful off of Femme Fa-
tale.
Just watching how hard (Brit-
ney) works; theres always people
watching her and stuff like that,
and she still just does her own
thing, remarked Sabi. (She)
dedicates herself to working out
and sleeping and eating right and
getting out there every night and
doing this amazing show thats
like, 20 songs or something crazy
like that.
Sabi was also complimentary
of another Femme Fatale tour-
mate, Nicki Minaj.
Shes friggen bananas, the
singer said of the rapper. I love
watching her show. I literally go
and watch Nickis show, and then
the first half of Britneys show,
because I dont go on until the
middle of the show, every night.

Fans expecting another Walk
Like An Egyptian or Manic
Monday might be disappointed
with Sweetheart Of The Sun,
The Bangles first albumof new
material in nearly eight years,
which drops Sept. 27. But they
might be pleasantly surprised with
the solid12-song effort from
guitarist/singer Susanna Hoffs,
guitarist/singer Vicki Peterson
and drummer/singer Debbi Pe-
terson.
The summery Anna Lee
(Sweetheart Of The Sun) offers a
first look at the albums great
guitar work, as well as the easy
harmonies between Hoffs and the
Peterson sisters. Hoffs, whose
nasally intonation helped catapult
the bands hits, takes lead vocals
on Under ACloud. Despite still
having her pierce, Hoffs voice
got a bit rugged with age, and it
works.
Debbi Peterson leads Ball N
Chain, which has lines like, If
brains were clothes, youd have
nothing to wear and Theres a
thousand reasons why I cant stay/
And every one of emhas your
name. Despite such woman-
scorned lyrics, theres still that
sunny So-Cal Bangles vibe.
The Hoffs track Ill Never Be
Through With You is a heartfelt
standout while Mesmerized is
reminiscent of a 60s girl group.
Vicki Peterson sings Circles In
The Sky, as her husband John
Cowsill (of The Cowsills fame)
provides backing vocals.
Agarage-rocky cover of Sweet
And Tender Romance is an un-
expected highlight, with Vicki
stepping in to do the guitar solo
originally done by Jimmy Page in
1963. Through Your Eyes is a
lush standout, with pretty strings
and harmonies between the trio.
Open My Eyes, a Todd Run-
dgrens Nazz cover, which the
band has been playing live since
the mid-80s, picks up the pace to
close the album. The track fea-
tures great cowbell throughout
and has a fuzzy MatthewSweet
Girlfriend feel (which isnt too
left field considering the album
was recorded in Sweets Holly-
wood home studio).
All in all, Sweetheart of the
Sun is a fun reintroduction to the
ladies of The Bangles, one thats
befitting where the trio is at this
stage of its career.

Jail cant stop him. Leaks cant
either. Yes, Hova and Kanye had
better watch their throne, judging
from the boldly regal sound of Tha
Carter IV, the latest in a series of
royal Lil Wayne efforts.
Dont compare IV to Weezys
previous Carters. Thats like pit-
ting Guernica against Les De-
moiselles dAvignon. Listen, in-
stead, for the new jazz Waynes
cooked up on the banging blues of
Blunt Blowin and the MOR
prog-hop of Its Good, the latter
well known for its dis to Jay Zs
wealth and comfort. This rap rip is
hee-larious when you consider the
money Waynes made. Maybe thats
the point. Hes wielding hate like a
saber. The beats are cutting, the
samples are populist (Harry Bela-
fonte!), the mood is smooth (thanks
to John Legend and So Special),
and the melodies are simple (How
to Love).
Still, its Waynes catty, low,
growling drawl and his tightly
wound lyrical mien thats the hit
here. He sounds disgusted even
when hes in love and would rather
treat lovers with disdain (your
name is unimportant) than consider
the possibility of pure devotion.
Bring out the king seat.

Unstoppable
Weezy
The side project of Def Leppard guita-
rist Phil Collen and Sex Pistols drummer
Paul Cook, Man Razes sophomore al-
bum, Punkfunkrootsrock, sees the band
digesting myriad stylistic influences and
spitting them back out with a healthy dose
of melody, power and spontaneity-laced
musicianship. With a sound that falls
somewhere within the sonic collision of
Cheap Trick, The Police and The Jimi
Hendrix Experience, Man Raze is a vi-
brant listen.
The trio (also featuring bassist Simon
Laffy from 80s British glam band, Girl)
rips into octane-fueled power-pop with a
slightly punkish sneer on Over My Dead
Body, flirts with active rock radio play
on the heavy ethereal, almost Sisters of
Mercy moody groove of I C U In Every-
thing and channel Zenyatta Mondatta-
era Police with the floating, reggae jam
Closer To Me. It soon becomes clear
Man Raze is its own monster, with a
definitive, progressive power-trio vibe
persisting and echoes of the mothership
bands trailing off.
The sonically pristine production is
comparable to Def Leppards studio ethos,
and vocal similarities will ensue (Collen
provides much of Leps backing vocals).
Cook, in particular, seems to be able to
spread his wings behind the drum kit.
Look no further than the cascading melo-
dic crunch of Bittersweet to find the
perfect balance of the bands saccharine,
pop tendencies and its rebellious rock
thunder a prime cut exemplifying the
uniquely Man Raze sound.
Fans of Def Leppards arena-rock
heights should enjoy this, Sex Pistols fans
may pass, depending on their level of
mainstream tolerance. Had Cream been
reincarnated as latter-period Green Day,
this is the album they might have made.

novel approach
I
n Neil Abramsons most
recent novel Unsaid, he
demonstrates that sometimes
the gifts and misgivings we offer
are strong enough to keep us
bound in the world of the living
as death, though definitive, does
not confine the soul.
Such is the case for Helena
Colden, a 37-year-old veter-
inarian, who, after faced with
untimely and distressing news, is
about to see life from a whole
other perspective. Readers are
made aware that Helena, having
suffered from breast cancer and
lost, now watches over the ones
she has left in her death.
Helena leaves behind her hus-
band David, animals she helped
in her profession and also the
ones she could not save. It is that
guilt from the lives that were lost
that in many ways becomes the
driving force to seek a sense of
absolution throughout the book.
After all, Helena, having been
witness to the euthanasia of
animals, is also the culprit, which
she continues to ruminate about
even after her life has ceased.
The suffering of Helenas loss
permeates through the many lives
around her, including animals.
David, prior to losing Helena,
was a successful defense at-
torney. However, following her
death, David becomes isolated
and ignorant of everything
around him, even down to his
own personal needs. Through all
the tribulation, though, Helena
never gives up on David and her
unfinished business.
While David seems headed
towards a wayward path, every-
thing changes when a particular
case involving a primate named
Cindy guides him closer to reso-
lution and hope. Through charac-
ters like Cindy, readers are wit-
ness to animals playing as much
a pivotal part as humans. Partic-
ularly, it is Cindys nature that
shows how animals are often
more humane than the people
threatening their existence.
Abramson appears to be par-
ticularly interested in making the
reader question where the line of
right and wrong is drawn by
identifying how humans and
animals are similar. To be specif-
ic, there are portions of the book
that evoked such emotion that
readers may find themselves too
upset to continue. Abramson
places no veil over topics in-
cluding animal testing and eu-
thanasia as he wants readers
to make their own decisions
regarding the ethics of such.
Though Helenas unfinished
business may be ambiguous,
readers can come to their own
conclusions. Ultimately, the book
is a compelling and tragic read
that is beautifully written and
hard to forget. One thing is for
certain this novel is by no
means a light read, but rather one
that stays with you for better or
for worse.

S
ay Macbeth in the theater
world, and you might
spook someone. Some
believe William Shakespeares
shortest tragedy is cursed, and
some refuse to mention it by
name, calling it instead the
Scottish play.
Richard Rose, the artistic
director of the newly formed
Pocono Shakes! theater company,
might fall a little under this cate-
gory, especially as Macbeth
will be the companys inaugural
performance, held Sept. 9-25 at
David W. Miller Park in East
Stroudsburg.
The Brodheadsville-based
Shakespearean scholar, who acts,
directs, produces and teaches and
has studied with the Royal Shak-
espeare Company, recently at-
tended a party for his mentors
81st birthday and was asked what
hes working on.
I say, Oh, Im directing Mac-
beth and sure enough every-
one crossed themselves and did
all that kind of stuff, Rose told
the Weekender while traveling to
New York last week. The super-
stition is there, and theres a lot
of historical evidence that there is
something to it. There are several
pretty brutal fight scenes in the
play, and theres a lot of blood.
When you get a bunch of actors
together fighting on stage, using
brutal weapons so youre just
hacking and banging away, I
think thats got a lot to do with
it.
Patrick Bresnyan, who is play-
ing Macbeth for the first time,
agreed.
Apparently, theres tales of
patrons being impaled with way-
ward swords and productions
being marred by technical mis-
haps, he said via e-mail. My
understanding is that its OK to
say Macbeth if youre doing the
show. However, (Rose) calls me
only Mackers, and he calls my
wife Lady M, and I am more
comfortable describing myself as
The Scottish King instead of
saying the M-word.
He did offer that nothing ma-
jor happened during rehearsals
other than a rusty nail find-
ing its way into Lady Ms foot.
For Rose, Macbeth was a
logical choice for the first outing
of Pocono Shakes!
I wanted to establish us as a
show that does Shakespeare and
doing one that just isnt done that
often in this area, in particular,
he said. I thought itd be a real
introduction to what were do-
ing.
And what Rose hopes to do
with Pocono Shakes! following
these performances of Mac-
beth and its run at Shawnee
Playhouse in November is to do
two, maybe three shows and start
getting into the schools, start
doing education and acting les-
sons next year.
We want to really expand it
into those kind of things, just
have a big Shakespeare pres-
ence, Rose shared. Were not
going to limit ourselves to just
Shakespeare either, were actual-
ly in talks about next year doing
Hamlet and Tom Stoppards
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
Are Dead.
For now, though, Macbeth
begins with a dress rehearsal
preview Thursday, Sept. 8 at 7:30
p.m.
Whats exciting about this
production is that its free its
free Shakespeare in the park,
said Amy Cramer, who plays
Lady Macduff and is the shows
marketing director. Thats very
much the way Shakespeare in-
tended his productions to be
played, very close to the audi-
ence, where people could actual-
ly see what was going on and be
a part of the action, rather than
just watching it.
Rose explained that Macbeth
is free because the company is
looking to build its audience.
Thats precisely what we want
to do, get people there and not
force them to have to pay, but to
enjoy it. Next year, theyll pay,
he said, chuckling. But after the
first year, when they say, This is
worth coming to see, theyre
willing to do that it just takes
time. W

MAGIC HAT CREEPS
INTO FALL
Now that its unofficially fall,
Magic Hat Brewing Companys
new variety pack is ready to
creep in and lay its claim on your
fridge. The Night of the Living
Dead Variety 12-Pak features
standby #9, Not Quite Pale Ale,
the seasonal Hex Ourtoberfest,
the fall I.P.A. On Tour hI.P.A.
and the Flavor Flashback
Humble Patience, the first beer
the Vermont brewery ever made.
Humble Patience, an Irish-style
red, was my favorite from the
sample pack the brewery recently
sent me. In fact, I daresay this
bottle was my favorite Magic Hat
beer Ive tasted yet hands
down. It smells rich, like a blend
of chocolate, coffee and fruit
with a touch of toffee. The dark-
brown brew was smooth and
tasty, making it, in my humble
opinion, a seriously good, hearty
autumn beer.
The amber-colored Hex Ourto-
berfest had a malt-y scent and a
smoky aftertaste with the slight-
est hint of caramel that would be
perfect for a nice post leave-
raking brew, while the brightly
golden hI.P.A. smelled bitter, but
had a crisp mouthfeel and a
pleasant aftertaste. This beer also
got brownie points for having
one of the best, most random
sayings on its cap with How
much for the goat?
The Night of the Living Dead
Variety 12-Pak will be creeping
around in stores until Oct. 15. To
find the location nearest you,

Tips
By Janelle Engle
Special to the Weekender
from a
barbie chick
I
t doesnt matter if you love
or hate pop culture, the
MTV Video Music Awards
are a must-see television event
just to see what ridiculous
outfits and totally non-script-
ed shock factors MTV seems
to always have in store every
year. Nowadays, with Lady
Gaga getting attention for ar-
riving at awards shows in ab-
solutely ridiculous outfits, stars
have completely stepped it up
a notch.
Instead of trying to inspire
fashion, celebrities are putting
more emphasis on the shock
factor of the outfit more than
the inspiration. Now we have
Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj
arriving in Technicolor hair
attempting to keep up with
Gagas eclectic style. But at
this years VMAs, Lady Gaga,
the queen of everything
strange and awesome, did them
all one better. She arrived to
the awards as a man, her alter
ego to be exact, a chain-smok-
ing, leather wearing Joe Calde-
rone.
The odd thing was I was
more inspired by her in a
mans outfit than any of her
trying-way-too-hard copycats.
Women wearing menswear is
something effortlessly sexy and
a fun change for a night out.
The best part is while raiding
your boyfriends or brothers
closet, you now have so many
more options than you do in
your own wardrobe. Try an
oversize leather jacket or a
tuxedo jacket paired with a
simple white blouse for a loos-
er, lived-in look.
With other pieces that are
bulky and not very female
figure friendly, its important to
still show some femininity to
your shape by adding a belt or
showing a little more skin.
You dont want people to think
you chose a mans clothes by
mistake, your outfit should be
obvious and bold. W
Theres a right way and a wrong way to sport
menswear.

The Black Land Photographs by Ed
SEE SPEAK & SEE, PAGE 41
T
heres nothing that a little
cosmetic surgery cant fix,
including, apparently,
suicide.
The only meaningful statement
Bravo could have made after the
suicide last month of The Real
Housewives of Beverly Hills
spouse Russell Armstrong would
have been to cancel Season 2,
which depicts, among other
things, the collapse of the Arm-
strong marriage.
That, of course, was not going
to happen any hint of respon-
sibility would have been taken as
an admission that being on tele-
vision has become an attractive
nuisance, like an unfenced swim-
ming pool. Instead, after offering
their heartfelt condolences, the
producers simply re-edited the
season premiere a bit and added
a preface, filmed Aug. 29, in
which the cast directly addressed
the tragedy.
Which meant, for five minutes
or so, all the housewives except
Armstrongs wife Taylor in
full hair, makeup and Jackie O.
sunglasses converged on
Adrienne Maloofs over-kitschy
manse to reassure themselves
that they had nothing to feel
guilty about.
Looking serious and dabbing
occasionally at their eyes, they
each professed their shock and
sorrow just as if they had actually
been friends with Armstrong and
not simply participants in a fran-
chise built around the drama of
discord, including and especially
marital problems.
In other words, they reacted to
his death in character, maintain-
ing the fiction that their show
was more or less a documentary
rather than a manipulated, if not
outright scripted, drama in which
certain participants were encour-
aged to play certain roles. Even
for a spouse, Armstrong was
rarely seen in Season 1, and when
he appeared it was simply to
illustrate the complaints Taylor
had about him he was distant,
he was cold, he worked too
much, he did not want her to
have fun (which appeared, even
last year, to be code for he
doesnt really want to be on this
show).
Blinking away their tears, they
all agreed they would not have
done anything different, and then
Kyle Richards stepped up to the
narrative plate: A lot of us have
guilt about not seeing this com-
ing, she said. You cant feel
responsible for that. It was his
choice, it was his choice, she
added, and it was not clear
whether she referred to Arm-
strongs suicide or his decision to
do the show. But her final decla-
ration was clear enough Its
hard for me to move forward, it
was such a tragic situation. But
as difficult as this is, life goes
on.
Cue music and the vacuous
nonsense that passes for life in
the Real Housewives universe,
in which with Season 2 nothing,
and everything, has changed. The
Vanderpump daughter may be
getting engaged; Camille will
survive her divorce from Kelsey
Grammer; Kyle and Kim cope
with their leftover sister issues;
Adrienne pits her tiny dog Jack-
pot against the Vanderpumps
tiny dog Giggy.
The allure of the Real House-
wives shows has been, in part,
their celebration of the unreality
of life all those dinner party
conversations that were just as
manufactured and misguidedly
narcissistic as the surgically
altered faces, the carefully ar-
ranged decolletage, the anorexic
arms that wreathed the table. But
now we know that as these tab-
leaux were constructed, as these
little scenes were nursed into
being, the petty tensions fed, the
catty diatribes coddled, offstage a
man was slowly moving toward
self-destruction.
How can we now watch and
think of anything else? W
A terrible reality

J
esse Peretzs Our Idiot
Brother spends 90 min-
utes trying to find its
identity, which is fine if
your movies main character
is an amnesiac, not a brain-
less hippie farmer with a
heart of gold.
While manning the stand
at the farmers market, per-
petually happy Ned (Paul
Rudd) sells weed to a uni-
formed police officer whose
sob story dissolves any com-
mon sense. After eight
months in prison, Ned, still
as hardened as a Smurf,
returns home to find his
footing and make some mon-
ey. Hes soon bouncing
among his three infinitely
more grounded sisters. Liz
(Emily Mortimer) enlists
Ned to lug film equipment
for her pompous documen-
tarian husband, Dylan (Steve
Coogan), and watch their
prep school-bound kid. Ned
also drives overly ambitious
journalist Miranda (Elizabeth
Banks) around town during
an important assignment.
Natalie (Zooey Deschanel),
an aspiring standup comic,
recruits Ned as a nude mod-
el for her artist friend (Hugh
Dancy).
Neds good-natured, trust-
worthy attitude makes him a
rarity in New York City, but
it also leads to an array of
problems. Ned discovers
Dylan in a compromising
position with his films bal-
lerina subject, which exposes
Liz as a rapidly aging dis-
hrag. His smashing rapport
with Mirandas subject ex-
poses the scribes duplicitous
nature. And when Ned re-
veals Natalies malleable
sexual tendencies during his
modeling gig, it threatens
her very serious relationship
with a lesbian lawyer (Rash-
ida Jones).
The problems created by
Neds organically grown log-
ic disrupt the ladies lives
while improving them
theyre forced to face their
real selves. Thats the main
focus of Our Idiot Brother,
but its not the right one.
Husband-and-wife writers
Evgenia Peretz (Jesses sis-
ter) and David Schisgall
invest way too much time
constructing outlandish sce-
narios leading to that real-
ization while more compell-
ing elements escape their
attention. This includes how
the sisters interact with each
other. Banks, Deschanel, and
Mortimer (one of the best
actresses working today)
excel at comedies and dra-
mas, yet their characters are
rarely in the same room.
The three have a scene
where Miranda and Natalie
bemoan Lizs diminished
hotness that is so natural in
its loving combativeness you
wish the movie had five
more just like it. The fam-
ilys shaky dynamic is only
revealed in brief flashes, like
when Ned unleashes his true
feelings during a game of
charades. How did everyone
get to this point? We see
mom occasionally, but
wheres dad in this familial
mess?
Plot architecture is swell,
but not at the expense of
storylines and character de-
velopment. Rudd and come-
dy pros like Coogan, Adam
Scott and Kathryn Hahn
deliver funny performances,
but these characters never fit
into the larger narrative
whatever that is. Director
Peretz (The Ex) and his
writers are so enamored with
options that they never make
choices. The film is content
to wander around searching
for tone and structure, revel-
ing in solos, while were left
waiting for everything to
come together. A great cast
and an idea with this much
potential shouldnt come
attached with excuses or
an aggravating lack of pur-
pose.

Favorite quote: Apositive attitude may not solve
all of your problems, but it will annoy enough people to
make it worth the effort. HermAlbright
Claim to fame: Voted Most Likely to Be An
American Idol in high school, won the state-wide
What My Grandmother Means to Me essay contest
back in 1996. I also earned my bachelors degree in
three years and wasnt even old enough to have a
celebratory drink at my college graduation party! Or
maybe pitching a no-hitter at my senior game in high
school softball. I was also on MTV a few times during
college on those silly reality shows they used to do, like
Boiling Points.
Favorite thing about the area: The people, the
variety of things to do, and Split Rocks wine festival!
Cant forget about pierogies I didnt even know what
they were until I moved here 4 1/2 years ago!
One thing most people dont know about
me: Im a master archer! I rst learned how to shoot
arrow at summer camp when I was 12, and Ive loved it
ever since!
One thing Ive always wanted to do: Ive
always wanted to write for a magazine! I love the
layouts, the features, the colors, the exciting new
content Ive had this passion for magazines since I
was little, growing up reading my moms Marie Claire
and my grandmothers Good Housekeeping!
Ive also been wanting to design my own greeting
card line. Have you ever noticed how most cards either
say too much or nothing at all? Think back to your rst
Christmas with a new boyfriend or girlfriend the
cards you can select from either say Merry Christmas
to my love. I cant wait to spend forever with you,
creating memories, and babies. Im madly in love with
you, or it says, Merry Christmas, Youre special to
me. Theres a hole in the market, and the ones that are
labeled humor, arent usually humorous.
Community involvement: One of the best things
about working in radio is having so many opportunities
to be involved in the community and help charity
events succeed. Ive hosted and judged fundraisers like
kids karaoke contests and talent shows. (Those are my
favorite!) Throughout the year, KRZ works really hard
to commit ourselves to the community with various
events and fundraising efforts. This might be a good
time to invite everyone reading this to KRZs annual
Bras Across the Bridge! Its a yearly event we have
during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it continues
to grow every year! Bras Across the Bridge 2011 is
scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 8 at 11 a.m. at Kirby Park
in Wilkes-Barre. Details will be at 985krz.com soon!

W
ith all of the boutique
whiskeys flooding the
market, from small
batch and single-barrel to white
dog and marketed moonshine,
youd think the Jim Beams and
Wild Turkeys of the spirits world
would be content to sit back and
enjoy the ride.
Youd be wrong.
Both Beam Global and the
Campari-owned Wild Turkey
have introduced new bourbon
products this summer, giving
whiskey enthusiasts two more
reasons to refill their jiggers with
something new.
According to Beam Global
master distiller and bourbon
ambassador Fred Noe, even
200-plus years into the gener-
ations-old company, maintaining
a competitive edge is important.
Were always looking for new
innovations to keep from just
sitting back with Jim Beam being
the No. 1 bourbon in the world,
Noe said. You still have to do
new things to bring new custom-
ers into the bourbon category.
Thats what were seeing: Every-
one in the industry doing in-
novative things to try to expand.
Jim Beams newest product,
Devils Cut, is a 90-proof bour-
bon enhanced by flavors resulting
from sweating the barrel: the
widely known practice of agitat-
ing spent charred-oak bourbon
barrels to extract any booze that
might have seeped its way into
the wood during aging.
Its a common enough trick,
Noe said, likening the barrel
agitation process to the paint-
shaking machines at Home De-
pot. But until now, no one has
done it en masse.
Leave it to Jim Beam to give
the sweat a catchy name (dev-
ils cut plays off the angels
share of evaporated booze waft-
ing in any warm distillery) and
pair the barrel extract with 6-year
aged bourbon to round off the
charred edge. With a bit of a
spicy bite and woodsy notes,
Devils Cut is both sippable and
mixable.
The mixability factor is what
drove Wild Turkey associate
distiller Eddie Russell to develop
Wild Turkey 81, named for its
proof. Theres currently an 80-
proof, 4-year-old Wild Turkey
bourbon on shelves, but it will be
phased out to make room for
Wild Turkey 81, which is made
from a blend of 6-year and older
bourbon and thus has a superior
flavor, designed to withstand
mixing.
Wild Turkey has always been
known for a big, bold finish,
Russell said. Just offset of ev-
erything Wild Turkey has stood
for, (81) has flavor but is really
light and easy to drink.
Russell was quick to point out
that Wild Turkey doesnt play
into fads: In his mind, producing
an older low-proof bourbon
makes it superior to current
counterparts. Meanwhile, stead-
fast products such as Wild Tur-
key 101, aged 10 years, will re-
main unchanged.
The American whiskey cate-
gory is huge ... and the bourbon
industry is a lot smaller, Russell
said. So why dont we play in
that bigger market? Lets get
something out there and com-
pete. W

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
When youre down, youre not usually
the type to sit around singing the blues.
However, you may want to consider just
that this week. Being proactive is great,
and its a habit you shouldnt lose. But
every once in a while, itd be great if you
let someone else be there for you, even if
you dont technically need them and
that means letting them know youre in
distress. You dont need to whine or bitch
about it; theres certainly a more graceful
way (like singing the blues), to make your
experience something that adds to your
life, rather than detracts from it. Next
time, find that.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
I dont always have the mental where-
withal to take a step back from overly
intense emotions and react in a way thats
at least tempered with logic but Im
grateful when I do. Things always go so
much better that way, dont you think?
This isnt about denying or suppressing
your feelings, but the opposite of that isnt
just allowing them to explode and run
rampant, either. Were gifted with both
brain and heart too much of one at the
expense of the other can really screw shit
up. Its all about balancing the two, fortu-
nately something youre, well, amazing at.
This week, show us just how amazing.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
When someone wins your heart, it
doesnt have to be an all-access pass to
your entire life, despite what some may
tell you. Of course, what and how much
of your life (including your past) you
share is entirely personal and depends on
your individual relationships, but give
yourself permission to withhold stuff that
really doesnt matter now or moving for-
ward, and would only negatively impact
the present. However, while keeping those
secrets may help maintain the peace, ask
yourself what kind of person would react
so badly to that withheld stuff and
whether thats who you want to be with.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Im a big fan of personal freedom and
think conscious choices we make that are
likely to mostly only hurt ourselves ought
to be OK. When they have a major tangi-
ble impact on others, however, its a differ-
ent story. A woman who smokes during
pregnancy, for example, has suddenly
made a selfish decision to continue a habit
that formerly hurt only her, but now will
probably harshly affect her baby as well.
One or more of your choices has recently
expanded to impact more than just you
and thus must be reassessed. Shirking that
this week would be almost criminal, so
dont.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
No one likes someone who complains
about good fortune. It may not be quite as
obvious to you, but your recent complaints
sound an awful lot to others like, Damn,
I hate carrying my wallet, its too heavy
because its so full of cash! Does it sur-
prise you much that youre having trouble
securing any kind of sympathy? Some of
your problems are the kinds of difficulties
other people would love to have, so quit
your bitching. Try to focus on your many
blessings, and if you simply must obsess
about your problems, at least attempt to
concentrate on the handful of real ones.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Not everyone has your keen mental
facility to process your emotions and,
generally, keep so damn cool. Some peo-
ple get worked up a lot more easily, and
about stuff that doesnt really matter
much, in the grand scheme of things.
Luckily, youre in a fantastic position to
help them out. Trying to talk them out of
their melodrama probably wont work, or
help much, so dont bother. More visceral
or engaging distractions are in order.
Luckily, you excel at such appealing di-
versions. Use your talents well this week
everyone will be the happier for it.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
Just because you feel horrible about a
decision doesnt necessarily mean its the
wrong decision. You may feel so bad
precisely because its the right one. Maybe
youd feel worse with the other options. Or
maybe your choice spares others suffering,
even while costing you your peace of
mind. Im sure youve given this a lot of
thought by now. Whatever the source of
your distress, if youre pretty sure this is
the right thing to do, you must stick to it
resolutely. Backpedaling now, only to go
down this road again later, will just make
things worse.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
People get competitive about the most
ridiculous shit sometimes and youre
no exception. After all, there are few more
competitive than you. When you engage
in this stuff with a spirit of fun and sense
of adventure, it adds to your life; when it
starts becoming a source of negativity (for
you or those around you), it may be time
to get some perspective and cool it. As
long as its really a game (for all con-
cerned), then youre golden. When it
somehow becomes more than that (and
the stakes correspondingly get elevated),
then back down and let it go, quickly,
before this becomes drama its not worthy
of.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
Laugh, as much as possible, even (and
especially) when you dont particularly
feel like it. Right now, almost all of your
problems can be resolved (or made much
lighter burdens) with humor. Of course,
your great talent for generating laughs
often understandably abandons you when
stressed, angry, or upset. This week, how-
ever, you should work toward reclaiming
it even during those trying times. Its still
there, after all. Find it and use it. The
more you do, the better youll get at em-
ploying that wonderfully versatile tool,
laughter and the easier and happier life
will be.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
Even when it feels like theres no room
for compassion in a decision that must be
made, there is. Sure, out of the choices
youre currently aware of the kind-but-
stupid option or the smart-but-cruel one
its kind of a no-brainer, but theres
probably a middle ground option, one that
lies well outside the box, which allows
you to retain your humanity while also
fulfilling your obligations. It may require
extraordinary measures and creativity to
make it work, but shouldnt you for
your own sake as well as the others in-
volved at least try?
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
Throw one loud, tone-deaf singer into a
chorus of good voices and he can pretty
much ruin any music theyre trying to
make. It doesnt matter that they out-
number him 10 to one; his discordant
tones will screw up whatever harmonies
they attempt to create. Similarly, much of
the beauty and art we try to bring into the
world can be easily sabotaged. However,
you have ways to create loveliness even
out of such (frequently unintended) nega-
tivity. Its a rare gift, and one thatll serve
you well this week. Dont use it just to
make yourself look good though, employ
it as a mirror to show people just how
beautiful they can be; that theyd be even
more beautiful if they worked with others,
rather than against them, is a message that
neednt be articulated. Theyll figure it out
on their own.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
Never underestimate the raw power of
the truth. It cant fix everything (and in
some contexts can seriously mess shit up).
But it may very well be able to repair the
specific problems in front of you; even if
it cant, it can certainly make them less
intense and extreme. Dont try to hide it,
or surround it with stuff you think others
would like to hear. You are what you are,
and even though you could paint a bet-
ter picture perhaps the you youd like
to become just owning who and what
you are right now will serve you much,
much better. W

MISSY B
American Paint Horse
The Gamer
By Dale Culp
Weekender Correspondent
I
was sitting in WNEP-
TVs green room Sunday
night, flipping through
Twitter on my phone as we
sat and waited to head into
the studio and answer
phones for the MDA Tele-
thon. As I skimmed through
posts from friends and col-
leagues, my heart sank the
moment I came across the
words, R.I.P. Bill Kunkel.
You will be missed.
I felt like the chair I was
sitting on had been kicked
out from under me, and I
looked around the room,
surveying the faces of the
other volunteers. I was hop-
ing that somehow, someone
in that room would have
known who Kunkel was,
that I could share the news
and talk about the loss. But
as far as I could tell, I was
the only one.
In silence, I retweeted the
message, added a few words
of respect and put the news
out of my mind. Before long,
we were in the studio, taking
calls and smiling for the
camera. You might even have
seen me if you happened to
watch the telethon between
9-11 p.m. I was in the front
row, wearing a gray shirt.
Bill The Game Doctor
Kunkel was, to a great ex-
tent, the father of games
journalism. He began writing
about video games in the
1970s with a column in Vid-
eo magazine before moving
on to become one of the
founders of Electronic Games
magazine in 1981. From his
pioneering work in video
games journalism to his work
in comic books, game design,
cartooning and writing about
professional wrestling, Kun-
kel was an acclaimed writer
and a well-respected figure
in several fields. Having
grown up reading countless
issues of gaming magazines,
its quite possible Ive read a
few of his articles, yet never
even knew his name.
As much as it pains me to
admit this, I didnt know
who Bill Kunkel was prior to
August 2009. I was working
on a story about VGXPO
a gaming convention that
would be celebrating its 5th
year in Philadelphia later that
year and began looking
into the histories of the peo-
ple involved with the show.
When I came across Kunkel,
I was astounded and contact-
ed him for an interview.
As we corresponded via
e-mail, I slowly got to know
this man, the kind of things
he did and the amount of
work he was pouring into the
convention. Sadly, VGXPOs
5th year was to be its last.
The reasons for its closing
are varied and numerous, but
its not for a lack of trying,
if the efforts of Kunkel and
other backers had anything to
say about it.
In the years since, Kunkel
remained a very busy man.
Aside from his continued
writing efforts, most recently,
he was director of interactive
development for Platinum
Studios which, together with
DreamWorks, brought the
movie Cowboys & Aliens
to theaters.
Ive had the fortune of
meeting many of the media
personalities I consider to be
my heroes in this industry. In
the brief moments Ive
known them, Im glad I was
there to shake their hands
and say, Thank you, for
inspiring me to do this, to
continue to push ahead and
get my work out there. Un-
fortunately, I will never have
the opportunity to do the
same with Kunkel. He had a
hand in shaping my future by
paving the way for future
games journalists before I
even knew who he was.
While I continue on the path
towards my goals, Kunkels
journey of 61 years has come
to an end. Rest in peace, Bill
Kunkel. You are already mis-
sed. W
Saying goodbye to a
gaming hero
In 1981, Bill
Kunkel, left,
was one of
the founders
of Electronic
Games
magazine.
Kunkle died
Sunday,
Sept. 4.
From his
pioneering work
in video games
journalism to his
work in comic
books, game
design, cartooning
and writing about
professional
wrestling, Kunkel
was an acclaimed
writer and a well-
respected figure in
several fields.

Ride of
the Week
This was my grandmothers car, DeMorat
says. Obviously, she didnt have it souped up
like this. It was a strange pea-green color when
she gave it to me.
Since acquiring the car, which features one of
the Grabber trim packages available from 1970-
75 that added a spoiler and a dual-dome hood
to the basic Maverick, DeMorat had it repainted
bright blue, added new rims, tires and the black
racing strip.
Ive also done some performance
enhancement to the engine to get it to ride just
the way I want it. DeMorat says. For a 40-year-
old car, it still runs and looks pretty good. W
