Letter from the editor
Its a well-known fact I love
my spam e-mails, and this one
from Mrs. Zarina Al-Usman is
certainly up there.
The 59 year old was diag-
nosed for cancer for about two
years ago, and has been critical-
ly ill in the hospital since 2010
when I was recently diagnosed
with Hypoglycaemia (her spell-
ing, not mine).
Mrs. Al-Usman wants to will
me her fortune (some huge
amount left from her late hus-
band), which is magic to my ears,
what with holiday shopping on
the horizon. Mrs. Al-Usmans
attorney is at the ready to transfer
said funds because the neces-
sary documents have been signed
and ascertained, and state tax
have been paid on the day of
deposit.
The only red flag is that Mrs.
Al-Usman is in an intensive
ward where I do not have access
to receive calls as a result of my
health condition, yet she can
send an e-mail. Pretty lax hospi-
tal methinks, but I guess thats
par for the health-care course
these days.
Meanwhile, you are advised
to keep this mail and its contents
confidential as I really want my
wish accomplish at the end of the
day without any of my relatives
knowing about these funds,
please do remember me in your
prayers as I give you the assur-
ance that this is legal.
Whoops. Hope confidentially
doesnt null my windfall or there
wont be lots of presents under
the Weekender tree this year after
all.
Speaking of Christmas, Trans-
Siberian Orchestra will return to
NEPA this week, but before you
write TSO off as just a seasonal
act, check out this weeks cover
story (pgs. 14-15) to learn that
theres much more behind the
group.
Also in this weeks issue, Staff
Writer Stephanie DeBalko chats
with Kingston resident Julia
Frakes whos been imbedding
herself in New Yorks fashion
world for years. Read more about
this chic 21 year old on p. 32.
Theres a lot more in this
weeks issue, so off you go
and thanks for reading!

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
SANGUINARY SUPPER
You eat meat, so why not
blood? asked The Globe and
Mail, which sampled several
Toronto restaurants sanguinary
haute cuisines, including the
Italian eatery Bucas spaghetti
with blood-blackened noodles
and torta di sanguinaccio (figs,
almonds, buffalo-milk creme, on
a base custard of dark chocolate
and slow-cooked pigs blood).
Patrons thought we were crazy,
said chef Rob Gentile, but now
cant seem to get enough. The
Black Hoof restaurant uses 10
liters of fresh blood a week for
dishes like its own blood custard,
seasoned with rosemary and
pickled pears. Montreals DNA
kitchen sometimes highlights
blood soup and blood pasta. (The
Noma in Copenhagen, Denmark
which some believe to be the
best restaurant in the world
marinates cauliflower in pigs
blood.)
THE CONTINUING CRISIS
-- I dont get it. I just dont
get it. And youre not going to
get me to get it, warned Marine
squadron commander Lt. Col.
Jerry Turner (to a Wall Street
Journal Afghanistan reporter
writing in October), when learn-
ing that a few of his troops were
sporting artistically shaped eye-
brows sculpted by a barber in the
town of Shinwar. Stylist Gulam
Farooq cant practice on Muslims
(forbidden) but said one or two
Marines come by every day (in
between calling in artillery bar-
rages) for tapering.
-- A vendor at a street market
in Leipzig, Germany, was re-
vealed in September to be
shamelessly selling personally
tailored coats and vests made
with fur from house cats. A first
report, in the sensationalist tab-
loid Bild, was doubted, but a
follow-up by Germanys premier
news source, Spiegel, confirmed
the story. The vendor said he
needed eight cats to make a vest
(priced at the equivalent of $685)
and 18 for a coat. However, such
sales are illegal under German
and European Union laws, and
the vendor subsequently denied
that he sold such things.
FAMILY VALUES
-- Too Soon? An 11-year-old
California boy and a 7-year-old
Georgia girl have recently decid-
ed with parental support to
come out as the other gender.
The boy, Tommy, wants more
time to think about it, said his
lesbian parents, and has begun
taking hormone blockers to make
his transition easier should he
follow through with plans (first
disclosed at age 3) to become
Tammy. The McIntosh County,
Ga., girl has been living as a boy
for a year, said father Tommy
Theollyn, a transgendered man
who is actually the one who gave
birth. Theollyn petitioned the
school board in September (un-
successfully) to allow the child to
use the boys bathroom. Theollyn
said the girl first noticed she was
a boy at age 18 months.
BRIGHT IDEAS
-- In Malone, N.Y., in Septem-
ber, Clyde Gardner, 57, was
sentenced to five to 15 years in
prison for trying to murder his
ex-girlfriend twice. Initially, he
was going to dress in a recently
skinned bears hide walk on
its paws, so as not to leave shoe
prints, and maul her with the
claws. After abandoning that
plan, he promised a friend
$15,000 to kill the woman in a
car crash, and since Gardner was
a demolition derby driver, he
offered expert instructions
(though the friend turned Gardn-
er in).
-- Awesome! The ingenuity of
drug smugglers is never to be
underestimated, as one ABC
News report from Nogales, Ariz.,
in October demonstrated. Smug-
glers had dug tunnels from No-
gales, Mexico, underneath the
border to Nogales, Ariz., engi-
neered perfectly to end along
International Streets metered
parking spaces. Vans with false
bottoms were parked in certain
spaces (and meters were fed);
smugglers in the vans broke
though the pavement to meet the
tunnelers, and the drugs were
loaded. Still parked, the vans
crews repaired the pavement, and
the vans departed. (U)nbeliev-
able, said the Arizona citys
mayor.
ARMED AND CLUMSY
-- People Who Shot Them-
selves Recently: Two men a
23-year-old in Fayetteville, N.C.
(June), and a 22-year-old in
Seminole, Fla. (October), acci-
dentally shot themselves in the
head while trying to assure
friends that their guns posed no
danger. A firearms instructor
shot himself in the thigh during
his recertification class at the
Smith & Wesson facility in
Springfield, Mass. (September).
A man on a first date at Ruths
Chris Steak house in Charlotte,
N.C., accidentally shot himself in
the leg as he was escorting his
date to their car (September).
And as usual, at least one man (a
27-year-old in Chandler, Ariz.)
paid the price for inartfully using
his waistband as a holster, caus-
ing a groin injury (August).
And Milwaukee police secured a
search warrant to photograph
Otis Locketts penis (July), as
evidence that he was illegally in
possession of a gun (as a felon)
by showing that he had acciden-
tally shot off nearly all of his
organ. W

Crime-Fighting: (1) In October, about 120 profes-
sional mimes began voluntarily patrolling the
traffic-congested Sucre district of Caracas, Ve-
nezuela, at the request of Mayor Carlos Ocariz.
The white-gloved mimes specialty was wagging
their fingers at scofflaw motorists and pedestri-
ans, and mimes interviewed by the Associated
Press reported improvements. (2) At least 300
professional clowns from Mexico and Central
America, in Mexico City in October for a con-
vention, demonstrated against the countrys
drug-cartel violence by laughing, in unison, non-
stop, for 15 minutes. (They were likely less suc-
cessful than the mimes.)
W-B READY
TO BARBECUE
For more than 15 years,
Tony Thomas Deli occu-
pied 50 S. Main St. in
Wilkes-Barre, and Maers
BBQ hopes to carry Tho-
mas torch.
Owned by Eric Wagner,
Mike Burns and Robert
Burns, Maers BBQ will
serve breakfast, lunch,
dinner and late-night
meals. The interior of the
restaurant is currently be-
ing remodeled to install
barbecue smokers, change
the decor and the layout.
We had been thinking
about (opening a restau-
rant) for a while, we all
really enjoy cooking a lot,
Rob Burns told Dish Tues-
day. We hope to open in
mid December.
Though the three have
worked in different facets
of the restaurant industry
in the past, this is their
first role as restaurant
owners.
Maers BBQ will offer
barbecue-themed meals
including smoked pork,
brisket and ribs, as well as
homemade flatbreads,
overstuffed burgers and
sandwiches, plus a full
breakfast menu and special
late-night fare. The restau-
rant will be open 7 a.m.-10
p.m. and until 3 a.m. on
weekends.
Keeping later weekend
hours were a no-brainer
for Maers BBQs owners.
Theres not really any-
thing open at that time,
Burns began, and we
thought we could bank on
that and give the college
kids something to eat
thats not pizza.
Maers is currently ac-
cepting applications for
kitchen and wait staff and
a delivery person. Call
Eric Wagner at
570.371.8927 or e-mail
maersbbq@gmail.com.
GOING LOCAL
Locals is now open at 88
Poplar St. in Wilkes-Barre.
Formerly The Poplar
Inn, Locals is under new
ownership and has been
completely remodeled. The

food menu that is served
until 2 a.m. daily, a fully
stocked bar and daily spe-
cials. Smoking is permit-
ted.
Locals is open Monday-
Friday from 6 p.m.-2 a.m.
and Saturday and Sunday

Trans-Siberian Orchestra had a show attendance of more than 1.1 million people in 2010, and Billboard Magazine named
the group one of the Top 25 Touring Artists from 1999-2009.

A passion for the season
Trans-Siberian Orchestra kicks off
2011 Winter Tour in Wilkes-Barre
T
here are many words
one can use to de-
scribe Paul ONeill,
the founder, composer
and producer of Trans-Siberian
Orchestra.
You can call him talkative, as
his interview with the Week-
ender ran an hour and a half.
You can call him intelligent, as
hes a fount of knowledge from
topics ranging from the Egyp-
tians and George Washington to
movie trivia. But one word that
absolutely denes ONeill to a T
is passionate.
When he presents the massive
entity that is TSO to a crowd, as
hell do for two performances
at the Mohegan Sun Arena in
Wilkes-Barre Twp. Friday, Nov.
11, ONeill wants the audience
to see something more than just
a show.
I always tell the kids when
they join the band anyone
between 17-25 we call the kids
I say that Trans-Siberian Or-
chestra is technically a progres-
sive rock band, began ONeill,
who checked in two weeks ago
from a pre-production rehearsal
in Omaha, Neb. Its actually
more than that: Its an idea and
an ideal.
At the core of TSOs idea and
ideal are its fans.
Its our job to make people
feel emotions that theyve never
felt before, to make the best pos-
sible albums, spare no expense,
charge the lowest possible price,
and on tour, make the best pos-
sible live concert and charge the
lowest possible prices, ONeill
said.
Its evident how important it
is to ONeill that TSO shows be
affordable for fans.
Theres going to be a lot
of people in our audience that
can easily afford our tickets,
but theres going to be a lot of
people in that audience where
its their one entertainment thing
of the year, he stated. And we
dont have the right to waste any
of their hard-earned money
we have to give them the very
best, whether its the rst show,
last show, middle show. For the
people in the audience, its the
rst show.
Despite the economic down-
turn of the past few years, TSOs
tours have remained a major
draw; in fact, the outt made it
into Billboard Magazines Top
25 Touring Artists of the Past
Decade (1999-2009), and its
show attendance was more than
1.1 million people in 2010.
Lets use round numbers, and
lets make believe we did ex-
actly 1 million tickets, and lets
make believe that everyone lives
a half hour from the coliseum,
and the shows three hours. We
dont have the right to waste 4
million human hours without
giving them the very best we
can, ONeill emphasized.
At home in
Wilkes-Barre
S
o far, 2011s been what
ONeill called a wacky
year. Trans-Siberian Or-
chestra kicked the year off with
the PBS special, The Birth of
Rock Theater, which show-
cased the groups rise from its
inception in 1993 to its rst tour
in 1999 and beyond. TSO also
took its rst trip abroad to tour
Switzerland, Austria, Belgium,
Denmark, Germany and Eng-
land, and the group worked on
two new albums simultaneously.
Fridays performances at
Mohegan Sun Arena will kickoff
TSOs Winter Tour 2011, an
eight-month trek that includes
118 performances in roughly 80
North American cities. Starting
it all here in Northeastern Penn-
sylvania was an easy choice for

ONeill.
Wilkes-Barre is lled with
hard-working people who really
care, its a great rock area, he
said. (Its) always had a special
place in our heart the band
always feels at home there.
TSO has performed at the are-
na more than a dozen times, but
one night there in particular is
the most memorable to ONeill:
Nov. 17, 2006, when there was
an issue with the venues water.
You couldnt go to the bath-
room, you couldnt wash your
hands, the whole nine yards,
ONeill recalled. We were
stunned because for both shows,
everybody showed up. It was
unbelievable. I think we were
more impressed with the audi-
ence that night than the audience
was with the band, he added,
laughing.
On this leg of the tour, TSO
will perform its debut album,
Christmas Eve and Other
Stories in its entirety, as well as
excerpts from Gutter Ballet and
The New York Blues Express,
one of its two upcoming albums
that ONeill described as kind
of gospel meets blues meets
rock.
Were playing some new
songs this year, he continued.
We love writing, we love
recording, but some of the songs
arent really born until you play
it live.
Rock, Romanov &
Christmas
T
he other album TSO has
in the wings is Ro-
manov: What Kings Must
Whisper, a rock opera about
the Bolshevik Revolution of
1918. Romanov was origi-
nally supposed to be released as
TSOs rst album back in 1994,
but was pushed back because
there had been talk about taking
it to Broadway instead.
Alot of people heard it and
said it was too good to be a rock
album, ONeill explained.
The idea went far enough into
fruition for ONeill to secure
complete artistic control for the
project, but because of his back-
ground as a rock promoter and
producer of groups like Aeros-
mith and Savatage, Romanov:
What Kings Must Whisper
never did make it onto the Great
White Way.
I grew up in rock, he said.
We wanted take-your-breath-
away production, which Broad-
way theaters dont have the
infrastructure to do, so I pulled
the plug on it because Id rather
it not be done than it be done
wrong.
So back in the mid 90s, TSO
turned its attentions instead
to rock operas and Christmas,
specically a trilogy about the
holiday. When record executives
wondered why TSO would go
the latter route, ONeill cited
Charles Dickens.
Dickens wrote about subjects
that were larger than life the
French Revolution in ATale of
Two Cities, the industrial revo-
lution with Oliver Twist and
David Coppereld but he
wrote ve books about Christ-
mas, ONeill said. And when
a British reporter asked him
about that, he goes, Christmas
is too large a subject to take on
in one book.
If its too big for Dickens in
one book, its too big for me in
one album.
Christmas Eve and Other
Stories was released in 1996.
The Christmas Attic followed
in 1998, and The Lost Christ-
mas Eve completed the trilogy
in 2004.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra
also released two non-holiday
themed rock operas, 2000s
Beethovens Last Night and
Night Castle in 2009. But for
many, whether they annually
attend a TSO show or use its
Christmas trilogy as the sound-
track for their holiday, TSO will
always be synonymous with the
Christmas season.
For ONeill, though, no
matter how many times he
hears Christmas Eve/Sarajevo
12/24, Christmas Canon or
Wizards in Winter, it isnt
Christmas until hes home.
To me, its not Christmas
until I sit down with my family
at midnight and Ive done
this since I was 6 and watch
Alastair Sim in AChristmas
Carol, he shared. I just love
Christmas, everything from the
snow to the whole nine yards.
Its always been my favorite day
of the year, its just so over-
whelming, just the way it unites
generations, unites the world.

TSOs stage production and laser-light show has been likened to that of Pink Floyd.

WILKES-BARRE TWP.
The last time Grateful Dead
bassist Phil Lesh and guitarist
Bob Weir played Mohegan Sun
Arena, it was for The Dead 2009
Spring Tour, and it seemed like
the last time the two would hit
this area together after some
lackluster reviews. Instead, the
duo reconfigured with a new
lineup and name, Furthur, and
has been keeping the Deads
music and legacy alive with
stellar live shows, including the
one at the arena Saturday, Nov. 5.
Getting the night going with
the upbeat Hell in a Bucket, the
band wasted little time in show-
casing how tight its become with
flawless jamming including some
beautiful interplay between lead
guitarist John Kadlecik and key-
boardist Jeff Chimenti. After a
tight Mississippi Half Step and
a run through the new Weir num-
ber Big Bad Blues, Kadlecik
delivered one of the shows high-
lights with a touching Althea.
Breezing through a swift ver-
sion of Johnny Cashs Big Riv-
er, Furthur revisited its homage
to The Beatles from its spring
tour (when it covered Abbey
Road in its entirety), by digging
out the chestnut Mean Mr. Mus-
tard. Wrapping up the first set
was a slower The Music Never
Stopped, that segued into a
thunderous Casey Jones which
saw the band turning the classic
into a ripping closer with an
almost out-of-control frenzied
ending.
In a bit of a surprise, the sec-
ond set fooled most people by
kicking off with the presumed
encore of One More Saturday
Night. Certainly a nice move
taking care of the one song ev-
eryone expected early in the
night. After a brief stop, Furthur
did what it does best and let the
music take over by unleashing a
non-stop six-song segue begin-
ning with a spot-on take of The
Bands The Weight with Weir
and Kadlecik alternating verses.
Easily the second-set highlight,
an upbeat Estimated Prophet
had one of the better vocal per-
formances from Weir, before
singing duties turned over to
71-year-old Lesh for a searing
Eyes of the World. In some-
thing thats become characteristic
for Furthur, Eyes meshed into
a thumping Fire on the Moun-
tain, sans the normal lead-in of
Scarlet Begonias. Nonetheless,
Saturdays version featured some
tight grooves from drummer Joe
Russo and some exquisite organ
work from Chimenti.
Following a blistering take of
the early-era Viola Lee Blues,
with beautiful harmony work by
vocalists Jeff Pehrson and Sun-
shine Garcia Becker, the band
again dipped into The Beatles
catalogue for a long Dear Pru-
dence before wrapping up the
set proper with the fan-friendly
Help on the Way/Slipknot!/
Franklins Tower. After a brief
break and Leshs standard organ
donor rap, Furthur capped off
the night with a haunting
Knockin on Heavens Door,
the perfect ending to a nearly
perfect night.
If Saturdays show did any-
thing other than give several
thousand people a reason to
party, it showed that the Grateful
Deads music has been thriving
for nearly a half century. With
the energetic respect Furthur
pays to that legacy, there are no
chances of it slowing down. W

tech talk
By Nick Delorenzo
Special to the Weekender
I
n the sci-fi movie Avatar,
the human characters were
able to experience an alien
world through the use of ad-
vanced technology.
While the sort of immersive
experience shown in Avatar
may be a ways off, we have got-
ten closer to making it a reality.
For years, weve had the ability
to build remote-controlled robots
and devices that could see or hear
for us from far away.
Thats two senses down, three
to go not bad, but hardly
immersive.
But recently, scientists in Japan
have tipped the scales and
brought the sense of touch into
the mix.
And theyve thrown some
technology used in displaying
3-D virtual reality imagery in for
good measure.
Theyre calling the combina-
tion of sight, hearing and touch
telexistence.
Using a 3-D/virtual reality
display, a user can control the
robot, called the TELESAR V,
seeing what it sees, hearing what
it hears, and most interestingly,
feeling what it feels.
In the past, the technology had
been limited to pressure sensitiv-
ity, you could tell when the sen-
sor was touching something, but
that was about it.
Now, things like temperature,
shape and a limited degree of
texture sensitivity have been
added. This might not seem like
a big deal, but anyone whos
done fine mechanical work will
tell you that being able to feel is
in some cases as important as
being able to see whats going on.
For dangerous mechanical
work or sensitive surgeries, the
technology opens up avenues of
research that were previously
unexplored and brings a new
dimension to the concept of
telepresence.
The research group has stated
that its goal is to make you feel
as if youre really in another
place.
How likely is it that the general
public will get to experience this
sort of technology any time
soon?
The surprising answer is that
its possible to buy a remote-
control robot that can see and
hear and roam freely for just a
few hundred dollars. But for the
immediate future, devices as
sophisticated as the TELESAR
might be confined to a university
or medical setting.
But like anything else, its
likely well be seeing, hearing
and feeling the presence of the
TELESAR or its descendants one
day soon. W
Nick DeLorenzo is director of
interactive and new media for
The Times Leader.
E-mail him at
ndelorenzo@timesleader.com.
Sensing the future
Users of the TELESAR robot can see what it sees,
hears what it hears and feel what it feels.

Maynard James Keenan just
loves to keep himself busy.
As if fronting two immensely
popular bands (Tool/A Perfect
Circle) and having his own
vineyard wasnt enough to keep
him busy, he recently released
Conditions of My Parole, the
second album from his other
side project, Puscifer. Delivered
using a stream-of-consciousness
style, the album is admittedly a
bit all over the place, however it
is also a brilliant way for Kee-
nan to provide some insight into
his process and explore other
ways to deliver a message with-
out being limited by the styles
of his other bands.
The majority of Conditions
of My Parole has a light and
airy feel, with Keenans vocals
laid over a varying array of
synthesizer sounds and pre-
programmed drum beats. Tracks
such as Monsoons, Oceans
and Horizons are the textbook
definition of mood music and
should appeal to fans of elec-
tronica. Only a few songs (such
as Toma or Telling Ghosts)
break away from that calm and
put some fire in the music and
serve to punctuate and contrast
the feel of the rest of the al-
bum.
In addition to creating a dif-
ferent mood and feel with the
music, the song lyrics are re-
markably simple and entirely
without any of the typical what
is the meaning of type of
interpretation that is too preva-
lent in music. Adding this to
peaceful, ambient music creates
an album which allows the
listener to do just that: Listen.
While fans expecting the
heaviness, power and rage of
either Tool or A Perfect Circle
might be somewhat disappoint-
ed with Conditions of My
Parole, they would also do
themselves a favor to at least
listen to it a few times in order
to see another side of Keenan.
Likewise, Keenan should be
applauded for daring to push
boundaries and not only explore
other methods of expression but

Billboard Top Digital Albums
As the follow up to the dark
massacre Weight of the World,
hardcore thrash metal outfit This Is
Hells latest effort is even more
belligerent than the last.
The Long Island, N.Y., metal vet-
erans bassist Pieter van den
Berg, guitarist/vocalist Rick Jime-
nez, vocalist Travis Reilly and
drummer Mike Sciulara have
definitely upped their game on this
very intense one, resulting in a
downright vicious album that brings
an unruly intensity from the start.
From the beginning of the album,
This Is Hell is relentless in the
extreme delivery of its music. The
opening track, Acid Rain, launch-
es the album with an aggressive
start, letting listeners know exactly
what to expect out of each of the
nine tracks that follow. The title
track starts with a somber guitar
solo, and then launches into a fero-
cious hardcore song. Reillys vocals
are incredibly forceful on this al-
bum, as he verbally assaults listen-
ers with severe and brutal lyrics.
Overall, Black Mass is a great
hardcore album. This is Hell dem-
onstrates that it is considered hard-
core veterans for good reason. How-
ever, just like most hardcore al-
bums, its not for everyone. It takes
a certain type of band to write mu-
sic this aggressive, and it also takes
a certain type of listener to enjoy
it.
-- Lisa Schaeffer

Black Mass
Rating: W W1/2
This Is Hell's
wild intensity
Cass McCombs gained a degree of
credibility with his April debut, Wits
End, when it garnered sparkling reviews
from Spin and The New York Times. It
seems a little early for a follow-up al-
bum, but McCombs doesnt seem to be
the type to play by the rules, thus making
it no surprise that his sophomore of-
fering, Humor Risk, just recently drop-
ped.
Humor Risk has a comforting sound,
but its almost too calming and serene.
Many of the songs, including the astutely
titled Meet Me at the Mannequin Gal-
lery, To Every Man His Chimera and
The Living Word have a stalled feel. In
fact, much of the album could be, in its
simplest terms, the musical equivalent of
swimming through a pool full of caramel.
The sound quality gives the feeling that
the album is being played on a pho-
nograph, the irony of which was no doubt
the point, and this is especially noticeable
on Mariah.
McCombs greatest attribute is his
storytelling ability, which he puts to good
use on the absurdly lengthy Mystery
Mail, and his hooks are nothing to scoff
at. After listening to Love Thine Ene-
my, one is left to spend an entire eve-
ning chanting those very words without
even realizing it.
The peppy Robin Egg Blue sends a
tiny jolt through the middle of the album,
but its not enough to lift the stoic, staid
atmosphere established in every other
track.
As a whole, Humor Risk is too much
of a risk. McCombs relies too heavily on
his lyrics and not enough on serious beats
and true music. He only proves himself
as a poet, not a musical artist.

By Alan K. Stout
Weekender Music Columnist
W
hen Sterling Koch set
out to record his new
CD, Slide Ruler, the
blues guitarist decided he wanted
to make it his dream record. He
thought of all of the people hed
like to work with on the project,
he laid out a plan, and he made it
happen.
And fans of the genre should
certainly like what they hear.
Koch, 55, a native of Conyng-
ham Valley, near Hazleton, now
lives in Pottsville. Slide Ruler
is his fourth album and follows
Steel Guitar Blues, Steelin
Home and How I Spent My
Summer Vacation. The new CD
features blues bassist Tommy
Shannon, who has played with
Stevie Ray Vaughan, Kenny
Wayne Shepherd and Johnny
Winter, and drummer Chet
McCracken of the Doobie Broth-
ers. It was co-produced by Bret
Alexander of The Badlees and
even local music icon George
Graham of WVIA-FM was in-
volved in the mastering.
A lot of talent was involved
with the record.
That was the idea for the
album, says Koch. As Ive
gotten older, you start wondering
if its going to be your last record,
and Bret and my wife and I had a
conversation about that. We all
decided to do sort of a bucket
list of If you could work with
who would you work with?
The CD features 12 tracks.
Nine are covers of songs by blues
legends and three are original
tunes, two of which Koch enlist-
ed lyricists to help craft. The
CDs closing number, The Sun
Will Shine, was penned by
longtime Badlees collaborator
Mike Naydock.
Im not much of a writer,
because when you write, its
supposed to be a personal thing,
and Im a very private person,
says Koch. I dont like putting
that all out there. But the songs
that I picked for the album are
probably songs that relate to me
in one way or another.
That would also include the
covers, which come via artists
such as Johnny Lee Hooker, Otis
Rush, Elmore James and Santo
& Johnny.
We started with a list of 20 to
25 songs, and kind of whittled
that down to either songs that I
had an affinity to, lyrically, or
just things that really worked
well in my live set. Probably the
biggest thing that I worked on
with this album was my vocals
and trying to find songs that I
can relate to, and express the
feeling of the song to an audi-
ence.
The album is available at CD
Baby, iTunes and Amazon.com.
On Monday, Nov. 21, Koch will
perform on PA Live on WBRE-
TV. The show airs at 4 p.m. Koch
says that he hopes listeners find
the music uplifting.
People that arent really fa-
miliar or arent really into the
blues always think the blues is
always sad and slow, he says.
But I kind of like to sing about
getting over the blues and cele-
brating getting past the blues.
Hopefully, people will just enjoy
it and get a good positive listen
out of it.
Temptation Denied, a local
hard-rock/heavy metal band
formed two years ago, will be
hosting a demo release show at
The Vintage Theater in Scranton
on Saturday, Nov. 12. Also on the
bill is Ethereal Collapse. Admis-
sion to the all-ages show is $5.
Doors open at 6 p.m.
The Badlees have announced
two upcoming shows in NEPA.
On Wednesday, Nov. 23, the band
will perform at Downtown Arts
in Wilkes-Barre. Sharing the bill
will be Miz. The Thanksgiving
Eve show features a Storytell-
ers-like all-acoustic set that will
be recorded for a live album.
Admission to the all-ages show is
$5. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The
Badlees play at 7 p.m. and MiZ
will follow. Call 823.2101 for
more information. The Badlees
and Mike Miz will also perform
at Brews Brothers West in Lu-
zerne on Friday, Dec. 23. W
The cover of Sterling Kochs new album, Slide Ruler.
Koch finds his
voice in the blues
I kind of like to sing about getting
over the blues and celebrating
getting past the blues.

movie review
D
irected by Brett Ratner
(Rush Hour), Tower
Heist turns the Bernie
Madoff scandal into a fun tale of
working class revenge and little
more. Thats not necessarily a
bad thing, except that the movie
teases us with its potential. With
more smarts and some sharper
humor, this could have marked
Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphys
grand return to comedy.
Josh Kovacs (Stiller) manages
a luxury apartment, which
houses New York Citys elite.
The Queens native excels at his
job, so much so that the tenants
lives have become his life. He
keeps them on schedule, steers
them away from trouble and
makes sure their favorites are on
hand. The tenants like him,
including billionaire Arthur
Shaw (Alan Alda), a friendly
master of the universe who in-
sists that hes just an Astoria boy
like Josh.
When Shaw is arrested for an
epic level of financial impro-
priety, Josh is sickened: Shaw
invested the Towers employees
pension money. Now, its all
gone. Furious, Josh demands
answers from Shaw, who doesnt
care. Josh loses his cool and
his job but there is a silver
lining: The Feds cant find
Shaws $20 million safety net.
Josh knows it is hidden some-
where in Shaws penthouse
apartment, so he recruits two
former somewhat competent
employees (Casey Affleck, Mi-
chael Pena), a down-on-his-luck
former tenant (Matthew Broder-
ick), and a career criminal (Mur-
phy) to get inside and grab the
loot. What could go wrong?
Lots, of course, but we knew
that. Tower Heist is the kind
of action-packed, quick-talking,
big-budget comedy that Holly-
wood excels at making. A lot of
the credit goes to Stiller and
Murphy, who shelve their tired,
profitable personas. Stiller ditch-
es the bellicose neurotic act to
convincingly play a working-
class stiff with a slight Noo
Yawk accent. After years of
relentlessly positioning himself
as a family-friendly star, Murphy
finally returns to what made him
a comedic legend nearly 30
years ago: Poetic profanity de-
livered with charisma.
Murphy and Stiller may be the
headliners, but Tower Heist is
really an ensemble piece. This is
shocking considering Ratner was
primarily responsible for un-
leashing a shrieking, scenery-
chewing Chris Tucker onto the
masses. Alda summons up the
right amount of WASP-y self-
righteousness as the arrogant
Shaw, and Broderick steals his
scenes as the relentlessly mopey
accomplice. There are pros
everywhere you look, from Tea
Leoni as Stillers flirty FBI
agent foil to Gabourey Sidibe
(Precious) as a Jamaican maid,
complete with preposterous
accent.
Jeff Nathanson and Ted Grif-
fins script zips along, keeping
the plots focus on the heist and
not on riffing or romantic in-
terests. Tower Heist is enter-
taining, but it never grabs us by
the collar and wows us as a
comedy or as an action movie.
Its wonderful to see Murphy in
a comedy that doesnt cast him
as a talking donkey, but his full
potential cannot be harvested in
a PG-13 movie. Ratner, no
craftsman, at least knows how to
pace the proceedings, but almost
too well: The climactic scene,
where the crew tries to maneu-
ver a sports car onto an elevator,
has no real payoff which is
proven minutes later. Thats not
the best way to leave an audi-
ence wanting more. It is an
effective way to prevent a movie
from becoming more than a
pleasant afterthought.

novel approach
T
he twisted depths of
Chuck Palahniuks mind
never cease to amaze a
captive reader. Known most
notably for Fight Club, his
1996 book that was turned
into a movie of the same
name starring Brad Pitt and
Edward Norton, Palahniuk is a
writer who bleeds biting sar-
casm and inappropriate hu-
mor. With his most recent
offering, Damned, the sea-
soned Palahniuk gets another
chance to prove his worth
and nearly knocks it out of
the park.
Damned is the narrative
of the recently deceased 13-
year-old Madison Spencer.
After dying from what she
believes to have been a mari-
juana overdose, Madison finds
herself in Hell, a place Palah-
niuk initially paints as dismal
and gruesome. Candy is the
currency (really) and geo-
graphical landmarks such as
Dandruff Desert and the Great
Ocean of Wasted Sperm serve
as sights and attractions.
As the story progresses, the
reader starts to think that
perhaps Hell, or at least Pa-
lahniuks version of it, isnt so
bad after all. For starters, all
the most fascinating celebri-
ties are there Frank Si-
natra, Marilyn Monroe and
Jim Morrison, among others
and once one learns to let
go of their earthly identity, it
doesnt seem difficult to build
a new life even amid such
dispiriting surroundings.
Madison hooks up with a
crew of characters pulled
straight out of The Breakfast
Club, which includes a nerd,
the popular girl, the jock and
the punk. Through a series of
chapters that are a little too
reminiscent of Judy Blumes
Are You There, God? Its Me,
Margaret, Madison holds a
one-way conversation with
Satan while spilling the de-
tails of her life as the product
of a celebrity marriage. She
also seems to harbor a grow-
ing fondness for her fellow
damned compatriots.
Damned is full of contex-
tual humor that would seem in
poor taste in any other cir-
cumstance, such as in the case
of the references to deceased
child beauty queen JonBenet
Ramsey. But the author has a
knack for saying what every-
one is thinking, even if its not
always politically correct, and
his snide, quiet humor is part
of what makes Madison such
an amusing cohort in explor-
ing the underworld.
The book reaches a weird
place near the end, where our
heroine has a coming-of-age
that involves brutally assault-
ing Nazi Germanys Adolph
Hitler in addition to a cast of
historys most violent and
overly confident rulers and
warriors. It seems Palahniuk
loses his footing at this point,
and while its heartwarming to
see Madison take hold of her
future, even in Hell, the sud-
den prowess and confidence
seems to come from an unde-
veloped place.
That slight plot hiccup
aside, the seedy underbelly of
Palahniuks psyche comes to
life in Damned in a beauti-
fully misshapen, bizarrely
entertaining manner.

F
ashion isnt just shoes,
baubles and the occasion-
al chapeau coolly resting
on the lithe frame of some
beguiling young subject. Sure,
thats part of it, but the fashion
industry wasnt just built on
fads and fedoras. And if you
asked 21-year-old Julia Frakes,
a University of Scranton stu-
dent and regular contributor to
some of the most esteemed
fashion and culture magazines
in the country, shed tell you
theres more to the industry
than meets the eye.
Politics and history and art
history and psychology are not
disassociated, the articulate
Frakes explained. For me,
every collection is sort of a
time capsule, and its always
amazing how theres just this
interconnected nature betwixt
all the collections. And I think
that its so revealing of that
point in time in which theyre
displaying it, in terms of socio-
economic levels, in terms of
whether were at war, whether
were at peace.
Frakes image graces the
pages of the October 2011 issue
of Vogue magazine, as a model
and contributor for a story
written by Lynn Yaeger and
photographed by Patrick De-
marchelier called Sparkling
Personalities.
When I moved to the city
when I was 17, (Yaeger) really
was just a wonderful role model
of sorts, and really watched
over me, Frakes said. So it
was really fulfilling to be in a
story written by Lynn Yaeger
and obviously, being photo-
graphed by Patrick Demarche-
lier is an honor beyond words.
For the young writer, stylist,
model (though shes quick to
point out that modeling has
never been her ambition) and
psychology major, the story is
another notch on a widening
belt of career achievements.
When she was just 17, Frakes
moved to New York City in part
to write for Paper magazines
Fashion Schmashion blog after
being contacted on Facebook by
the editor-in-chief, David
Hershkovits, who read her mus-
ings on her fashion blog, Bunny
Bisous, and liked what he saw.
Since then, shes been tweet-
ing and posting on her personal
Tumblr account, in addition to
contributing to publications like
Dossier Journal and Teen
Vogue. She was part of the Gap
China campaign, which was
photographed by Annie Leibo-
vitz in August 2010, and was
featured in a March 2011 Teen
Vogue retrospective celebrating
the tenth anniversary of the
Marc by Marc Jacobs line.
Frakes forte for textiles
probably has something to do
with her roots, dating from her
late grandfathers former busi-
ness to her mothers contempo-
rary boutique in Kingston, Jane
Leslie & Co.
(My grandfather) owned
Alperin, Inc. with his brothers,
which was a manufacturing
corporation, Frakes said. And
they made pants, for Brooks
Brothers and Ralph Lauren and
the U.S. Postal Service. So
growing up, I sort of had this
really tactile appreciation for
the making of a garment.
Frakes, who now resides
primarily in Kingston, commut-
ing to school and New York
City when work beckons, also
has a deep appreciation for
NEPA.
Ive had a lot of really crazy
wonderful moments, and Im
very thankful for them, but I
really enjoy being in Pennsylva-
nia, she said.
Whether shes discussing
fashion, psychology (her self-
declared true love), politics or
Scranton, Frakes brings with
each topic a palpable sense of
enthusiasm. Her goal, someday,
is to possibly bring all of her
varying fascinations and occu-
pations together.
Its almost daunting to even
consider, but hopefully where I
will be 10 years from now, if all
goes well, is just to feel ful-
filled, she said. W

ralphie report
the
By Ralphie Aversa
T
he Fray has released three
live albums, and lead
singer Isaac Slade admits
there is a sense of vulnerability
that needs to be overlooked in
order to allow the masses to hear
your work live and raw. Yet, it
was that same feeling of vul-
nerability that Slade thinks pro-
hibited the band from meeting its
expectations on the bands sec-
ond, self-titled album.
We wanted to swing for the
ball as hard as we could on (The
Fray), and I feel like we were a
little afraid to, Slade confessed
on The Ralphie Radio Show.
Maybe the pressure to do a
How to Save a Life No. 2 or to
not really own up to who we
actually are it is a little bit of,
I think, an embarrassment that
were like so mainstream, com-
mercial, you know, on TV shows
and stuff, and all of our friends
are like, indie-rock bands.
The sophomore slump feel-
ings only motivated the Denver-
based band to work harder on its
third studio album, Scars &
Stories. The Fray teamed up
with producer Brendan OBrien
(Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam)
and Slade said it was a learning
experience.
He kicked our ass a little bit,
the frontman said. Id get in to
these artistic, self-doubt tail
spins, and hed just kind of slap
me across the face and be like,
Just get in there and do it the
best you can because thats all
you can do!
In addition to the figurative
sparring between the producer
and the band, there was some
argument amongst The Fray
themselves, particularly on the
choice for the first single from
Scars.
Theres another song called,
Run for Your Life that I think is
probably my favorite song on the
record, said Slade. Its real
ballad-y, beautiful and heart-
wrenching and kind of like,
whatever you think of The Fray
to be, kind of our cliche.
Slade is confident that the
song will elicit tears from listen-
ers and that it will be exciting to
release to the public, but ulti-
mately the band decided to go in
a more upbeat direction with
Heartbeat, a track inspired by
the real life events of the geno-
cide and exile in Rwanda.
Scars & Stories is scheduled
for a Feb. 7 release.
CELEB CHEF BOBBY FLAY
TALKS ENTOURAGE ARC
Americas Grillmaster Bob-
by Flay has certainly proven that
he can handle the heat in the
kitchen. But this summer, the
chef proved he could handle a
different type of heat: The wrath
of the fictional super-agent Ari
Gold on the HBO series En-
tourage. The hit show saw its
eighth and final season air this
summer with Flay playing the
role of semi-homewrecker, mov-
ing in on Golds wife after the
couple had separated. However,
in an interesting twist, show
writers chose Flay to reveal Mrs.
Aris first name, Melissa, for the
first time in the shows history.
When I read the script, I
couldnt believe it, Flay told me
at an appearance for Mohegan
Suns 15th anniversary in Uncas-
ville, Conn., last month. I was
like, This is sort of like televi-
sion history. No one knew her
name for eight seasons, and Im
going to get to be the one to
reveal her name? I thought that
was pretty cool.
Flays arc on the show was his
first for a fictional series. The
celebrity chef currently owns 11
different restaurants between his
Mesa Grill, Bar Americain,
Bobby Flay Steak and Bobbys
Burger Palace brands. W
Listen to The Ralphie Radio
Show weeknights from 7
p.m.-midnight on 97 BHT.
Bobby Flay talks to Ralphie at Mohegan Sun in
Connecticut last month.

bitch & brag
By Jeff and Amanda of 98.5 KRZ
Jeffs Bitch:
Facebook. The new Amer-
ican pastime, or if you feel
like I do at times, just one
more thing I need to keep
checking and responding to
every day. But its so popular,
I just cant see it ever going
away (Tom at MySpace might
disagree). But I have a few
suggestions that I think are
common sense, but maybe Im
trying to be too logical.
In my way of thinking, if
you want to be friends with
someone, shouldnt your pro-
file picture be your face? As
in the name, Facebook? Be-
cause of my radio show, I get
more people asking to be
friends than the allowed
amount of 5,000. I truly would
love to say yes to anyone
who enjoys the show or has
had some dealings with me in
the past. But theres that nasty
limit, so I simply ignore the
following:
No picture of you.
A picture of your pet in-
stead of you.
A picture of a pretty sunset
instead of you.
A picture of a funny slogan
instead of you.
A picture of a sports team
instead of you.
And worst of all: No pic at
all!
This is like moving to a
new town, calling up your new
neighbor, and saying youd like
to get to know him, but he
cant know what you look like.
(Wait a minute, I just realized
that happened on Home Im-
provement, but you get the
idea.)
By the way, I do make ex-
ceptions for pics of your ba-
bies and your little people
running around your house.
Im not a monster. So maybe
Ill see you on Facebook one
of these days. Smile!
Amandas Brag:
After having a string of
horrible customer service expe-
riences in the past month, I
have to give some props to
the Sephora in the Wilkes-
Barre JCPenney. I swear, for a
while I thought I was cursed
by the shopping gods. It was
one thing after another. Im
talking a ton of horrible cus-
tomer service experiences and
service at a handful of local
stores that will remain name-
less since I continue to go
to each of them, despite the
inconsistent service.
Then, while in search of the
perfect gift for my best
friends birthday, Sephora
brought it. The sales lady was
perfectly helpful without being
pushy, offered to gift wrap the
incredible Urban Decay eye
shadow palette I chose as a
gift and was delightful when I
asked her a ton of questions
about some products I was
interested in. Amen! I was
starting to lose faith in all
stores. It seemed as if no one
really cared about the customer
anymore. (Wow, Im starting to
sound like Jeff now.) Seriously
though, have you noticed how
bad some businesses have
gotten when it comes to fair-
ness and pleasing the custom-
er?
Thank god for Sephora once
again. Not only are your prod-
ucts the highlight of many
womens mornings, your per-
fectly manicured team is
equally as enjoyable. Oh yeah,
and who doesnt love free
fragrance samples? Nods for
Sephora! W
Hear Jeff and Amanda Bitch
& Brag on Fridays at 3:30
p.m. on 98.5 KRZ.
In my way of thinking, if you want to be
friends with someone, shouldnt your profile
picture be your face?

sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
T
wo weeks ago, one of my
best friends from college
got married. Thanks to an
open bar, the night ended with
me sneaking into the hotels
kitchen where I ate cold
chopped bacon and huffed three
bottles of whipped cream. All in
all, it was a weekend of good,
clean fun with some of my fa-
vorite people from my glory
days. The only drama associated
with the wedding was when I
went to buy something to wear
to it.
Fully intending to dress to
impress, I ventured off to the
mall to find the perfect shirt and
tie for the special occasion.
After more than an hour of
mixing and matching everything
the store had, I finally found a
winner. Then, right as I was
pulling down my pants to
change and leave, someone
pounded on the fitting room
door.
Excuse me, sir! they shout-
ed. I need you to open this
door immediately! I dont care if
youre dressed or not.
I opened the door, petrified
and stunned, hunched over with
my pants to my knees, to find
the sales associate standing
there with a mall cop! The bitch
was accusing me of trying to
shoplift because I was taking too
long in the dressing room.
Thats what dressing rooms are
for, though, to try on clothes!
How embarrassing! I would
never shoplift unless you
consider lying about being a
mall employee for a discount on
your Aunties Annes pretzel
shoplifting.
Since the sales associate was
as fat as Ricki Lake was before
she lost all that weight so she
could get a talk show, you would
think she would have sympathy
for someone having difficulty in
a dressing room. What was her
hurry for me to leave anyway?
Was I delaying her from going
home and eating her way into a
diabetic coma?
After I left, I walked past the
store twice, flipping off the sales
associate with thumb and all.
Her jaw dropped, probably for
the first time without a Snickers
entering it.
Sorry, Mom and Dad, for
flipping off the girl who called a
mall cop on me, even though
Im 25. But hey, my student-
loan debt collector told me 25 is
the new 21, so Im just going to
roll with that W
TV Guide wasnt kidding
when it called Justin Brown a
real-life Van Wilder for skipping
school to be on a reality show
in Japan. He now shares his
wildest adventures and life
lessons while saying Sorry,
Mom & Dad
Knock knock
went the mall cop
Apparently, Justin cant even innocently try on clothes
in a mall dressing room without getting into trouble.

would you describe your
look?

cute spook with a hint of magic.
WEEKENDER: What kind
of clothing do you own the
most of?
STEWART: Tights. Lots and
lots of tights. Oh, and v-neck

WEEKENDER: If you
could redo your entire
wardrobe, what would you
fll your closet with?

love.
WEEKENDER: What one
item of clothing could you
never part with?
STEWART: My Vera Wang
gray wedge booties
WEEKENDER: How do

out with some punchy colorful
leggings.
WEEKENDER: Do you

on them, black shorts and my
super-comfy Wildfox Love
Potion No. 9 white T-shirt.
Comfy, but cute.
WEEKENDER: When did
you start to develop your
own sense of style?
STEWART: In college. I
wanted to develop my own
style, so I started paying
attention to what people were
wearing and decided what I
liked and didnt like. Further
down the road, I started reading
fashion blogs and picking up
tips from my favorite celebs
and artists. I pick up fashion
tips everywhere, from blogs to
cartoons to comic strips.
WEEKENDER: If you
could shop anywhere in the
world, where would it be?
STEWART: Japan or Los
Angeles. W

NAME S
S I N C E
1993
but then again ...
By Jim Rising
I
love the holiday
season. No, not
exactly right. I love
many things about it.
Couldnt care less about
the gift giving in my
direction. Love seeing
the joy the things we
send to the relatives
bring, especially the
grandchild, Haven. I
love the meals, the
cookies, the extra ra-
tions of grog.
I do not love the rushing
around, the shopping and the
packing of gifts. It has led to
considerable strife between the
Long-Suffering Wife and me. It
cuts into the grog consumption.
I dont love the hangovers.
I love Scrooged, the not-
perfect-but-still-pretty-good Bill
Murray depiction of the Charles
Dickens classic. Its a regular
for me and always makes me
weep. Especially if I have ex-
ceeded my ration of grog, a
likely outcome after a shop-
ping/wrapping/packing session
with the Long-Suffering Wife.
I love my Christmas music
selection. I have, over the years,
programmed several all-Christ-
mas music stations. In doing
so, I have become more than
sick of Have a Holly Jolly
Christmas and Rudolph the
Red-Nosed Reindeer. My per-
sonal collection is not what
youll hear on the radio in large
part. Here comes Santy with
his bag of shit and that sort of
tune always make me smile.
But, having said all that, I
was appalled and then furious
when I heard the Pennsylvania
Lottery run its Happy Holi-
days commercial for the first
time on the day that the calen-
dar page just turned to Novem-
ber, by the way. First of all I
hate the Happy Holidays
sentiment. Say what you really
mean, and you risk offending
the Kwanza and Jewish among
you, they say, whoever they
are. I think that they dont care
as much as you might think.
And I know I dont. Wish me
Merry Christmas, please but
not quite yet.
But really, the background
music for the Pennsylvania
Lottery commercial is The 12
days of Christmas. You get it?
There are Christmas wreaths
and trees and candy canes and
Wait, I just heard a commer-

cial for Chex Mix that has the
Carol of the Bells in it. And
another one and another
one. Shoot me now.
I know, this is a pretty stan-
dard rant, where the greedy
merchants rush the season, and
Im not ready for it. But damn,
it seems really early. Lucky for
me, its always time for grog.

more rants are on his blog,

Christmas

Tips
By Janelle Engle
from a
barbie chick
P
ersonally, as an animal
lover, I was a little less
than enthused when I
saw a significant increase of
fur coats on the runways and
in magazines for this fall/
winter. The fur trend has
been around forever, but was
popularized years ago when
worn by the starlets of the
1920s. It was seen as a must-
have for any glamorous, so-
phisticated women back then,
and the trend continued
through the 1960s, before it
trickled out when people be-
gan to see it as over-the-top
and, overall, a waste of mon-
ey.
But now, as fashion tends
to come back around, wearing
fur is in again, along with the
tricky decision of how to
wear it without looking too
overdone.
When buying fur, pay atten-
tion to the tones within the
fur. It may seem obvious, but
most furs have different shad-
es in them, and its important
to play up those tones within
the rest of your clothes. Fur
maxi coats are probably the
trickiest thing to pull off. The
No. 1 rule is to never pair a
fur coat with an over-the-top
party dress in a loud print,
like cheetah. You will just
end up looking tacky or like
youre trying to hard. In fact,
go the opposite route: Use a
fur coat to give a fancy touch
to a rather plain outfit. Also
keep things modern; never
pair fur with anything too
vintage or youll look cos-
tume-y.
If wearing fur reminds you
too much of playing dress up
in your grandmothers closet,
than dont go for the full-on
coat or jacket. Fur vests or
hats are similar options to
achieve an equally glamorous
look.
And as a personal favor to
the animals, please buy faux
fur this season. Theres no
reason to spend the extra
dough on something that is
not worth the price of an
animals life. There are plenty
of great replicas that are just
as cozy and classy looking. W
Fur-sure flair
Fur is back and bigger than ever, but its a trend that
can easily go awry if not well-executed.

The No. 1 rule is to
never pair a fur
coat with an over-
the-top party dress
in a loud print.

Carey Clark
Wyoming
C
arey Clark started designing jewelry as a
hobby last October, but it wouldnt be just
a hobby for long. After posting some of
her designs on Facebook, Carey began
getting requests from friends and family to make
them original designs. Now with a successful shop,
C.C. Jewelry, on Etsy, Carey has positioned herself
as an established designer.
Rather than just creating and selling jewelry
designs, however, Carey has an even bigger goal
in mind: To give back to her community. Donating
to local causes and constantly on the search for
more, Carey Clarks philanthropic approach makes
her a unique local designer you should get to
know.
Community involvement: In the past year, I
participated in the Zachary Shoemaker Dodge Ball
Tournament for a charity event, as well as donated
jewelry to another charity named Fighting for Fran.
I am currently looking for more local charities to
donate to I love helping people and will donate
to any charity, but I prefer to donate to local people
in need because I enjoy attending the events and
meeting those who are being helped. Its a more
personal involvement.
Hobbies: Jewelry design, traveling, hiking,
photography, staying active!
Favorite thing about the area: Ricketts
Glen. People take for granted what is right in our
backyard. People come from all over to see the
waterfalls and many of the people in this area have
yet to even visit Ricketts Glen. Hiking the paths
and taking pictures couldnt be more relaxing and
inspiring for me.
Favorite movie: The Notebook I know,
cliche.
One thing most people dont know
about me: That I have skydived twice. Once in
Pennsylvania and once in Hawaii, and I will not
be stopping there! Im a risk taker and adrenaline
junkie.
One thing Ive always wanted to do: Ive
always wanted to travel to Africa. I love the beauty,
culture and purity of the country. I will defnitely
travel there in the near future.
If your best friend were to describe you,
what would he/she say? Straight from the horses
mouths:
Him: I would describe you as unique, in that
youre gorgeous, yet dont exploit it. A loving
mother frst, yet fun and spontaneous. Creative
and adventurous, yet still well-grounded and loyal
to all who have been lucky enough to gain your
friendship.
Her: I would describe you as a sweet person,
very active and adventurous and a little crazy
at times (aka skydiving), I can talk to you about
anything, and you treat people with respect....
Who is...

Ride of
the Week
I took out the original 2.0 L engine and replaced
it with a DOHC 2.4 liter, Hughes says. Gives the
car a little more power.
Hughes also repainted the exterior red and
added a DVD player with dual screens in the back
seat.
Ive tried to make it a fun car despite the Neons
reputation for not being too powerful, Hughes
shares. All in all, the Neon has performed well for
me. W

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
You think you know what digging deep
means, but the truth is you have reserves
of strength to draw upon which have
simply never occurred to you. It may not
be your usual pattern to look outside
yourself for sources of support and pow-
er, but sometimes, when youre feeling
weak or lost, theyre your best assets. You
may not quite believe that these people
are really able or willing to be there for
you but they are. Probably the only
way youll really buy it is if you give
them a chance to step up and come
through. This week, try that.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Youre famously easygoing and flex-
ible, but sometimes theres just no room
for compromise. You can be either here
or there, but theres no common ground
between the two points; in fact, theres
probably just a yawning chasm there,
with no place to safely stand. That means
that with this disagreement one of you is
simply going to have to bend and come
around to accepting the others point of
view. This might be one of those agree-
to-disagree situations, leaving this deci-
sion tabled indefinitely. But if thats not
the case if you must come to terms
now you need to decide whether or
not one of you will relent and join the
others camp. If youre 100 percent posi-
tive thatll never happen, you may have
no choice but to simply walk away.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
When the unexpected happens, you
often feel responsible, even if you actual-
ly had nothing to do with it (except via
the most roundabout and convoluted
reasoning). Theres not much you can do
when someone behaves badly, except
cope with the fallout with grace, compas-
sion and most importantly, humor. Thats
your job this week no more, no less.
Dont take on anything thats not really
yours. Just clean up the mess and try to
make people smile while you do so. Suc-
ceed, and itll make this chapter one
youll look back on with fondness instead
of horror.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
I dont blame you for not liking the
strings you found attached to some gene-
rosity you gratefully accepted recently. To
be fair, the givers should have made their
expectations more obvious or transparent
before they made their offer, but now that
its done, your choices are limited. You
can call them on their slightly shady
behavior, but that would involve also
giving back what you received and prob-
ably damaging your relationship to boot.
The alternative, unfortunately, may be just
as lame: Giving them what they want,
gracefully and without resentment. Like it
or not, those are your best-case outcomes.
Dont waste a lot of time trying to con-
coct a third, more palatable one. Just pick
one and get on with it.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
You Fish are wonderfully sweet but
notoriously clueless about how some
other peoples minds work. Guessing
what someones thinking or feeling can
be extremely difficult for you, and in the
past has led to some embarrassing gaffes.
So stop guessing, particularly because
even your best guesses this week are
probably going to be so far off base that
its almost funny. As intuitive as you
often are, youre no mind reader. If you
want to know whats going on inside
someones head, you need to quit trying
to figure it out on your own and just ask
them.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
You like to give people what they want,
and so when they ask nicely, its some-
times ridiculously hard for you to say no
even when what they want is some-
thing youd really rather not part with, or
would regret losing once it was gone.
Being so generous is mostly a wonderful
quality, but you need to be careful about
learning your limits and saying, Im
sorry, I cant, when necessary. Unfortu-
nately, no one can teach you where this
line lies or how to enforce those bounda-
ries. Its something you simply have to
learn and do for yourself.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
Youre a traditionalist, so you generally
look for reasonably conventional solutions
to your problems. However, sometimes
the best answers lie well outside the box.
Thats certainly the case this week. Will
you settle for a half-assed temporary fix
to your difficulties, just because its
something familiar and relatively easy?
Or will you have the creativity and cour-
age to find the answers that will resolve
this stuff once and for all, in a much
more satisfying way? I hope so, because
if you dont, youll just be back exactly
here in a few months time. Dont stub-
bornly settle for the familiar stopgap
measure. Seek out the real solution, no
matter where it lies.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
Youre not afraid of crazy, so plenty of
the people in your life possess entertain-
ing doses of quirky wackiness. However,
there are times when their idiosyncrasies
boil over into truly obnoxious annoy-
ances. Try not to get too worked up about
it; after all, you knew this potential when
you invited these people into your life.
That doesnt mean you need to let their
wild sides make a mess of things for you;
luckily, instead of reacting with fear or
anger, theres a way to inject rationality,
grace and humor into the situation, as
weird as it might be. Find it.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
Sometimes you worry about how the
truth could change things. Since you
infamously resist change, youre some-
times reluctant to reveal stuff that could
rock the boat or otherwise change things
up. I understand your anxiety about what
such revelations could do to your life.
However, biting your tongue in this sit-
uation from fear of the fallout from your
words isnt ethical, and you wouldnt feel
good about it later. That means when it
comes time to speak the truth and
youll know it when the time comes
you must bolster your courage and simply
do so.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
I love your big heart, Leo. Its one of
your most wonderful qualities. You Lions
are unfailingly generous when you can
afford to be or think you can afford to
be. Learning to tell the difference is a
tricky lesson, but in these hard times you
cant afford to help everyone who asks, at
least not to the degree they probably
need. This isnt about putting yourself
first. In fact, putting others first is still a
wonderful thing to do. But include your-
self in the big picture, lest you be the one
asking for help the next time around.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
There are certain things you can accel-
erate just by putting that intention for-
ward and being efficient. Other things,
however, simply cant (or shouldnt) be
rushed. This thing is basically a preg-
nancy; it will take as long as it takes, and
you actually dont want it to be over early.
Therefore you must be patient and bide
your time and let things ripen as theyre
supposed to. I know that just sitting idle
and waiting isnt your style, but youve
got to do it anyway, because trying to
make things unfold faster will only yield
an outcome you quite simply dont want.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
Being fabulously wealthy would be
great. Even if youre not, neither are you
as poor as you think you are. Its impor-
tant to enjoy yourself in a deeper way
than you have been, once in a while. This
is about high-quality fun. You expend a
lot of your resources on little things (and
part of happiness right now is enjoying
those little things), but occasionally your
soul could do with a nice big extravagant
splurge. You can afford it, even if means
you must tighten your belt slightly in
other areas. Do so; its worth it. W
