F
orgive us for tooting
our own horn for a
minute, but it’s been
an exciting week here
at the Weekender.
First up, we got word that
the newspaper won two
awards in the 2011 Spotlight
Contest held by the Keystone
State Professional Chapter of
the Society of Professional
Journalists. The SPJ is the
nation’s most broad-based
Nikki M. Mascali Stephanie DeBalko journalism organization.
Editor • 570.831.7322 Staff Writer • 570.829.7132 The Weekender won

“Road trips and concerts.” “The Farmers’ Market on Public of Headline Writing, Non-
Square.”
Daily, for “Franks for the
memories,” the cover words
of the Wednesday, March 31,
2010 issue about the hot dog
histories of Abe’s and Coney
Island.
We also came in third place
for Best Overall Non-Daily
Newspaper, behind the Jewish
Exponent and Pittsburgh
Business Times.

know I do!)
Secondly, I hope you’ll

of Rhode Island in 2005 and
is attending Wilkes University

Homeless Charles Mader, a convicted
sex offender in Albuquerque, was
arrested in May for failure to report his
change of address, as required by law.
Mader had moved out of his registered
address, which was a Dumpster, into
a community shelter.
since two people subsequently
died, and one moved in.
CAVALCADE OF REDNECKS
(1) Sharon Newling, 58, was
arrested in Salisbury, N.C., in
April and charged with shooting
at her stepson with a .22-caliber
rifle. She denied shooting “at”
him, but said she was just shoot-
ing toward him “to make him
stop working on his truck.” (2) In
April in Greensboro, N.C., Ste-
phanie Preston and Bobby Dun-
can were married in front of
family and friends at the local
Jiffy Lube. (3) A 25-year-old
man in Okaloosa County, Fla.,
was arrested and charged with
misdemeanor trespassing after he
entered the Club 51 Gentlemen’s
Club, from which he had been
banned after a February incident.
The man told police that he knew
he had been banned from a strip
club but couldn’t remember
which one.
DEMOCRACY IN ACTION
(1) Lisa Osborn was one of
only two candidates who qual-
ified to run for the two vacant
seats on the Bentley (Mich.)
Board of Education in May, yet
she did not win. One vote would
have put her on the board, but she
got none (having been too busy
even to vote for herself that day
because of her son’s baseball
game). (2) Monika Strub began
campaigning for a state parlia-
ment seat in Germany in March
as a member of the Left Party.
Until 2002, Strub, then “Horst
Strub,” was with the neo-Nazi
National Democratic Party, but
then decided he was really a
female, underwent surgery and
became Monika, a socialist. Not
surprisingly, she has been ha-
rassed by some of her former
colleagues.

PEOPLE WITH ISSUES
Anorexia nervosa is widely
recognized as a debilitating eat-
ing disorder that can be fatal in
as many as 10 percent of cases.
However, men with masturbation
fantasies about super-skinny
women have fueled an almost-

there’s no question that Kirby
Park is a destination for many
of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s
residents. It’s a place to get fresh
air, celebrate the 4th of July
with a few thousand of your
neighbors and, this upcoming
weekend, it’ll be a place to
experience a wide array of
music while honoring the very
people Memorial Day is about:
Soldiers and veterans.
The 4th Annual Mayday
Music Festival will be held
Sunday, May 29 from noon-
dusk. The free, all-ages event,
which will be held rain or
shine, features six stages of

DJs, drums-and-bass acts,
dubstep, hip-hop and live
bands, plus vendors and live
art. Proceeds will again benefit
Soldiers’ Angels, a volunteer-led
nonprofit that began in 2004 to
provide aid and comfort to the
men and women of the United
States Army, Marines, Navy, Air
Force, Coast Guard, veterans
and their families.
Having Soldiers’ Angels as
Mayday’s beneficiary was an
easy choice for the festival’s
organizers.
“Well, it’s Memorial
Day weekend, so it just fit,”
explained Gaje, a Mayday
planning committee member
and DJ who will be among the
event’s many performers.
While raising funds for
Soldiers’ Angels is at the core of
Mayday, Sunday is also about
the music.
“Most of the music is non-
mainstream music, first of all, so
that’s something that definitely
doesn’t happen around here,”
said DJ Hersh, who is also on
the Mayday planning committee
and a performer.
“A lot of people look at it
and go, ‘Dubstep? I don’t know
what dubstep is,’” Gaje said,
referring to the genre
of electronic

will run 45 minutes to an hour,
with some DJs playing together.
Filling the stages — or in this
year’s case, making room for
interested performers — isn’t
the hardest part in putting on
Mayday: It’s coming up with
funding for the free event, and
not just in getting donations for
Soldiers’ Angels. Organizers
need to pay for the park,
insurance, flyers, T-shirts and
other incidentals.
To help counter some
of the backend costs, there
have been several “Mayday
Warmup” events held at local
establishments.
“They’re just events where
we DJ and have bands and
stuff,” Gaje said. “The money
collected at those we use to
cover our (Mayday) costs. We’ll
do collection buckets, and that
cash money we use toward
costs.”
“The money we make from
DJing that night goes right to
the event,” Hersh added.
In fact, Gaje said that most of
the money they make from their
DJing gigs from January until
Mayday goes toward funding
the festival.
“We try not to spend too
much out of pocket, but it does
come out,” he said.
While generating money for
the cause is “No. 1,” there’s
another reason Mayday planners
put their own money toward this
labor-of-love event.
“There isn’t really a lot
of activities around here for
people to do that are free that
are in the park,” Gaje said.
“People like the park, it’s nice
out, it’s springtime, people love
music — it just gives people
something to do. We like being
behind that.”
‘GOOD TIME,
GOOD MUSIC’
A
side from hours of
music and the bucolic
setting, there is also the
live art component of Mayday.
Local artists will be on hand to
paint, sculpt and more.
“We have a whole bunch of
friends in the art scene, so we
thought why not have those
people participate? Just because
they don’t play music, we
shouldn’t exclude them,” Gaje
said. “We’d like to give people
the opportunity to watch artists
at work.”
Plus there will be numerous
vendors on hand, including
Sprint, Notis Gyro King, Woody
Brown’s barbecue — not to
be confused with The Woody
Browns Project, which will play
on the main stage and took its

Reinterpreting
'rags to riches'
“Girl in Translation”
By Jean Kwok
WWWWW
By Stephanie DeBalko
Weekender Staff Writer
R
eally good fiction in-
spires. It motivates. And
it leaves the reader want-
ing more. It doesn’t hesitate, or
have lilting moments of dis-
appointment. It keeps going, like
a proverbial flash train through
the cerebral cortex. In her debut
book, “Girl in Translation,” Jean
Kwok satisfies all of these
points, and does so with such an
air of unabashed candor, it’s
hard to believe she hasn’t done
this before.
“Girl in Translation” follows
the lives of Kimberly Chang,
who narrates, and her mother,
immigrants who came to Amer-
ica riddled with debt. They are
forced (by the gracious aunt who
helped them emigrate) to live in
a roach-and-mouse-infested
Brooklyn apartment with no
heat and broken windows and
work in a sweatshop, where the
only certainty for Kimberly and
her mother is a life spent in
squalor making far below mini-
mum wage for taxing and tortur-
ous labor.
Eleven-year-old Kimberly
quickly adapts to her environ-
ment, using her intelligence to
slowly but surely raise her moth-
er and herself out of the down-
trodden life to which they were
PAGE 16
stricken. Her ability to balance
the two lives she is leading —
factory worker and private
school scholar — becomes
another one of her many talents,
and the book is shot through
with references to the incongru-
ities in the young girl’s life.
With each turn of the page, it
becomes more and more clear
that Kwok’s protagonist is sim-
ply inspiring. Kimberly comes
to a completely different country
with almost no handle on the
language or dialect, and manag-
es to blossom into a young
woman with Ivy-League poten-
tial, all while helping her mother
make quota at the sweatshop and
maintaining a sometimes-sordid
social life.
The narrator may seem to
have more drive than any real
person could, but Kwok knows
the story all too well, as her life
followed almost the same path
as Kimberly’s. One would not be
completely wrong to propose the
idea that “Girl In Translation” is
an autobiographical work, but
the fact that it is fiction allows
Kwok to take artistic license
with her main character, making
it that much more interesting
and profound.
Kwok utilizes a number of
writing techniques that blend
together to create the perfect
formula for a phenomenal page-
turner. When Kimberly is speak-
ing to people whose native lan-
guage is English, the conversa-
tion is often written with pho-
netic spelling, so the reader is
right there struggling with her to
understand the language and the
intent behind it.
Throughout “Girl in Trans-
lation,” Kimberly proves time
and time again that, even as a
child, she doesn’t need anyone to
take care of her: Not the love of
her life, her teachers or even her
mother. She is relentlessly inde-
pendent and fiercely determined,
a refreshing departure from the
“damsel in distress” role that is a
mainstay of modern and tradi-
tional fiction. The author’s back-
ground knowledge of the topic
makes it easy to believe the
authenticity of the details of the
plot, but her writing is so fluid
and inspired, it seems she would
have produced a dazzling novel
regardless of the subject matter.
If this book is any indication of
Kwok’s future success, fiction
writers all over the world should
brace themselves for some bru-
285982
tal competition.

Releasing its last CD, “Heavi-
er Than Thou,” in 1986, The
Rods — David “Rock” Fein-
stein, Garry Bordonaro and Carl
Canedy — reunited a few years
back. From that reunion came
“Vengeance,” which dropped
Tuesday, May 24.
“(The album’s) been in the
works a couple of years,” said
Canedy, who called in from his
home in Carbondale, where he
moved 20-plus years ago; his
wife is an area native.
With Canedy’s ties to NEPA,
The Rods will celebrate “Ven-
geance” with two local events.
The first will be a signing and
performance Wednesday, May
25 at Joe Nardone’s Gallery of
Sound in Wilkes-Barre; the
second will be a show at Brews
Brothers in Pittston Friday, June
3.
“Vengeance’s” first single,
“The Code,” is a bittersweet
track. It features guest vocals by
Feinstein’s cousin, the late Ron-
stray far from the music industry
— as a producer, the drummer
worked with bands like Anthrax,
Overkill and Exciter.
“It really is different,” Canedy
said of producing his own band
versus working with others.
“With The Rods, David and I are
the principal songwriters, and
we’ve worked together on a lot
of things, so things are unspoken
with us. With a younger band,
there are a lot of plateaus you
have to get them to … it’s also
just that we’re old,” he added
with a laugh.
So with such a connection,
why did it take The Rods more
than 20 years to reunite?
“We had talked about it peri-
odically, but we all kind of
moved on for a while, though
there was never any animosity,”
Canedy explained.
The members put the band on
hold to raise families and have
outside careers — Feinstein

ing the band Feinstein in 2004,

thought, that looks pretty cool,
and that was it for me.”
Eventually, Canedy’s and
Feinstein’s paths crossed as
“musicians playing the same
kind of music,” and the two
joined forces, despite the chang-
ing climate of music in the late
’70s/early ’80s.
“At the time we started The
Rods, it was disco everywhere,”
Canedy said. “We would play a
club, and people would literally
run for the door. I walked out
after a show, and one the guys
leaning up against the wall out-
side said, ‘That was horrible.’
“For a second I had to stop

movie review
By Ignatious Schiavo
Weekender Correspondent
Geoffrey Rush, Penelope Cruz, Johnny Depp and Ian McShane star in ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,’ the fourth installment of the ‘Pirates’ franchise.
Swashbucklers lose a bit of magic
O
ne of history’s most
successful film
franchises sets sail yet
again in this week’s Disney
adventure, “Pirates of the
Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.”
Johnny Depp dons the
dreads for another go round as
everyone’s favorite scoundrel,
Captain Jack Sparrow. It has
been four years since Captain
Jack and the rest of the Pirate
Brotherhood took on their
enemies in a climactic high
seas battle for the ages. Now,
the good Captain has returned
to England to rescue first mate
Gibbs (Kevin McNally) from
the hangman’s noose. Of course,
nothing is ever so simple for
Sparrow.
As one of the most iconic
characters of all time, Depp’s
Sparrow is worth the price of

admission all by his lonesome.
For this adventure, he has traded
in the first three film’s star-
crossed lovers Orlando Bloom
and Keira Knightley on a shiny
new pair, Sam Claflin and Astrid
Berges-Frisbey. As always, of
course, the good Captain needs
a nemesis. This time out he has
managed to find two: Penelope
Cruz and Ian McShane.
Cruz portrays Angelica, who
has a history with Captain
Jack which spills over into the
present. This pirate princess
needs Sparrow to help her locate
the Fountain of Youth so that
she may save the life of her
recently discovered father. The
story loses all heart-warming
qualities when dad is revealed
to be the one pirate all pirates
fear, Blackbeard (McShane).
McShane is perhaps best know
for his turn on the gritty HBO
period drama, “Deadwood,”
where he portrayed the truly
complicated Al Swearengen;
he’s also the voice of “Kung Fu
Panda’s” villain, Tai Lung. It
suffices to say that McShane can
handle the role of heavy with
relative ease. Cruz finally gives
Depp’s character a viable love
interest and fills the void left by
Knightley’s departure.
Captain Jack is forced to
accompany the time-stricken
Blackbeard as he attempts to
find the fountain. They are,
however, in a race against not
only time, but also the Spanish
Armada and a contingent sent
from England. This is perhaps
the film’s biggest twist as the
prototypical pirate Captain
Panda’s got a brand-new gang.
“Kung Fu Panda 2”
Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) has
turned his back on his brethren
and is now serving the English
crown. Rush has been the
equal of Depp in every film
of the “Pirates” franchise, and
this time out is no different.
Rush actually has a leg up,
so to speak, as Barbossa now
sports a peg-leg to complete his
swashbuckling persona.
“On Stranger Tides” has all of
the staples that made the earlier
adventures so memorable.
Amazing footage on the high
seas and exotic locales rife
with legendary beings serve
as a backdrop for a tale of old
and new characters searching
out one of the great mysteries
of the world in the Fountain of
Youth. Yet despite these tried-
and-true pieces, the puzzle
seems to lack the magic fit of

the first three chapters. The
story did not have the cohesion
of the earlier films, and at
times, it felt quite rushed. Some
of the loss of magic can be
attributed to the great changes
in the supporting cast, but one
remains concerned that perhaps
this magnificent adventure has
become somewhat stale. Depp
and Rush are both still utterly
brilliant in their respective roles,
and the franchise is not folding
up its flag. On the contrary,
the film’s ending leaves more
questions than answers, so it is
somewhat safe to assume that
at some point in the not-so-
distant future, word will reach
our shores of a new quest being
undertaken by Captain Jack
Sparrow. We can only hope that
journey’s prize is the franchise’s
mojo.

WEEKENDER, WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 2011
By Caeriel Crestin
Weekender Correspondent
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
Beliefs change. What you believed in as
a child probably doesn’t hold much weight
for you now. Hell, what you believed in
last year might no longer ring quite as
true. Of course, if you’re flip-flopping all
over the place and espousing different
ideas about life every other day, no one’s
likely to take you particularly seriously.
But if you’ve changed your mind after
careful reflection and inquiry, that’s com-
mendable. Own it. Those with open minds
may very well come around to your new
point of view, or at least accept and toler-
ate it. Those who don’t, well, they can just
suck it, can’t they?
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
Small deceptions are sometimes neces-
sary in order to support a greater truth.
You can hope and strive for 100 percent
transparency regarding everything you do
and feel, but sometimes that’s more trou-
ble than it’s worth. Does your partner
really need to know about that work crush
(that you’ll never act on)? It’ll just make
them pointlessly insecure or jealous. In
this example, the deeper truth is that you
want to be with your partner, regardless of
how cute you find someone else. Stick to
that, even if it means glossing over some
of the actual details.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
When someone calls you out on a mis-
take you’ve made, sometimes your first
instinct is to lash out defensively or evade
the blame somehow. Of course, upon
further reflection, you often realize that
they were right, even if you managed to
get out of it. Try to be open-minded this
week when offered a critique. It’s not an
attempt to tear you down or belittle you,
but actually to help you or otherwise im-
prove a situation. Try to accept it with
good grace, regardless of what you’re
feeling inside. You may feel irked no
matter what. Hide it — for now, at least. If
you’re still vexed a week from now, speak
up then.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
While you may be justified in pointing
out hypocrisy anywhere you find it, doing
so doesn’t make you particularly fun to be
around. The fact is, almost everyone falls
short of their (and your) ideal, and if you
insist on spelling it out each time you
observe it, you’ll only alienate or offend
people. Your intentions are good, but your
actions and words will generally vex rath-
PAGE 30
er than improve people, as you imagine.
Biting your tongue this week will earn you
more friends than your best-intentioned
criticisms. Maybe “improving” people is
more important to you than having
friends, but that’s your call.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
People love who (and what) they love,
and there’s not much you can say or do
about it. This is particularly confounding
when you don’t understand their choices,
and horrifying when those choices are
quite clearly bad for them (when someone
opts to stay with a chronically abusive
spouse, for instance). As confusing and
upsetting as this surely is, your own role in
the situation is actually quite simple. You
have two choices: Accept it, or walk away.
If you choose to leave in protest of their
decisions, you’re also free to burn bridges
by offering your uncensored opinion of
those choices. But if you choose to stay,
you’re probably best off biting your
tongue.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
As it turns out, your help may not al-
ways be desired. However, when someone
else’s well-being is at stake, your con-
science should compel you to try to help
anyway. You must be prepared to be told
to piss off and mind your own business.
It’ll happen. But not offering aid because
you fear being rejected is just silly. This is
about what’s best for the situation, not for
your ego. The right thing to do is step up
and accept the consequences from there,
whatever they are. You know and believe
this, too. This week, be sure to act on that
belief.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Being forced to abide by someone else’s
antiquated or backwards standards has to
be incredibly galling. However, this is a
pick-your-battles scenario. Is this one
really worth fighting? It might be, but be
sure, before you go in guns blazing. This
could be a Thunderdome (“two men enter,
one man leaves!”) level duel, so unless
you’re really prepared to see it through to
its dramatic (and perhaps tragic) conclu-
sion, you may simply want to keep quiet
and just get through it, as annoying and
frustrating as that probably is. Live to
fight another day, if you will.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
Repeatedly testing boundaries is what
some people do. They can’t help it.
They’re told no, but like a naughty child
they’re compelled to keep trying anyway.
Perhaps it’s kind of like a game for them.
Of course, it’s exhausting and annoying for
you, but unfortunately right now there’s no
easy way to end it without going nuclear
(to the worst-case, last-resort scenario).
That’s always an option, but it has conse-
quences all its own. Since a less extreme
solution might work in a week or three,
perhaps just grit your teeth and bear it
until then?
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Here’s the cliché: Give a man a fish, he
eats for a day; teach him to fish, he eats
for a lifetime. Obviously, the latter scena-
rio is preferable for all concerned. Howev-
er, you may be balking at this situation, for
whatever reason — perhaps you don’t
think someone is capable of or interested
in “learning to fish.” Or they’re just not
worth the time to you. However, even if
you look at this from a purely selfish
standpoint, trying to impart some self-
sufficiency is still the way to go. Just suck
it up and give it a go. Trust me on this.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20)
Friends keep secrets. But some secrets
are heavy burdens to bear; it’s not fair to
ask someone else to carry them for long.
An example of something like this is the
revelation that you’ve been cheating on
your spouse. Suddenly, you’ve entangled
your friend in a mess and forced them to
potentially lie to someone else they may
consider a friend. Think before you share
this stuff. If you’re prepared to put it all
out in the open soon, and this is just the
first step, that’s great. But don’t expect
someone else to hold up half the weight of
a lie you’re telling for more than a very
short time.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
How many times in your life has some-
one forced you to try something new, so
you could discover you actually liked it?
Didn’t you regret, afterwards, how long
you dragged your feet, put up walls, and
made excuses? Hopefully, you were at
least mature enough to realize and admit
you were silly for having done these
things. But then you went ahead and did it
again, didn’t you? When’s that going to
stop? Sure, some things you’re certain
you’ll never like, and you may even be
right. Try them anyway. The worst thing
that can happen is an unpleasant moment
when your suspicions are confirmed. The
best is that you could discover a new love.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
If you’re a serious tally-keeper, you
probably know that the favor being asked
of you this week carries with it no obliga-
tion. The favor-asker may even already
“owe” you. Do it anyway. This isn’t about
counting pennies and keeping tabs on
who’s done what for who. Look at the
bigger picture and remember there may be
things happening “off the books,” i.e.,
unnoticed by you. Even if that’s not the
case, keeping the peace and making peo-
ple happy is absolutely worth the hassle of
doing the favor, without complaint. You’ll
probably never be able to call in this
“debt,” but you will be repaid, one way or
another—even if you never quite know
how. That ought to be good enough. W

Currency circa 2011?
L
ike every other facet
of life, the way we
do business has
been undeniably altered by
technology.
Electronic fund transfers,
RFID credit card readers,
PayPal, you name it. The
world’s banking systems are
entering the 21st century, a
little slower than some other
areas, but they are progressing
to be sure.
But in many ways the
Internet is like a Wild West
frontier town. If I find the
right person, I can work out
a trade or send them credit
without taxes or the U.S.
government entering into the
equation.
And like the Old West,
money is always changing

I spoke with George
Palickar, a Times Leader

was a valid exchange, since
creation of the BitCoins
must involve work that can’t
be easily reproduced. He
also noted some potential
downsides.
“I think that it might be
made illegal,” Palickar said.
“This is essentially unregulated

have a problem with that.

Groove Train has released a self-titled debut CD.
Groove Train
tracks ahead
A
lthough the band Groove
Train really found its
groove when it first
formed seven years ago, the
spring of 2011 is also a special
time for the group. After tearing
it up at countless club dates,
private parties and summer fes-
tivals over the years and being
primarily known as a cover band,
the project has now released its
first self-titled CD of all original
material.
“It’s something that I’ve been
talking about since the begin-
ning,” says Groove Train key-
boardist and vocalist Dave
Chaump, who has had plenty of
prior experience with making
albums. He recorded his first CD
in 1989 with the David Rose
Band, a group based out of Le-
wisburg that made its way up to
NEPA on several occasions.
“At the time, we were doing it
full-time,” says Chaump. “When
everybody else in the region was
kind of stuck on covers, we were
out there plugging away with
originals. I was also on Straw-
berry Jam’s ‘Spread The Jam’
album, I did a solo CD called
PAGE 36
‘New Day’ … it’s something I’ve
always been involved in and had
“Every day can
provide a reason
to write a song
if you take the time
to sit back and

a strong interest in.”
Groove Train, based out of
West Pittston, was formed in the
summer of 2004. The musicians
featured on the album are
Chaump on keyboards and vo-
cals, Rebecca Santoro Hetzel on
vocals, Dan Bogdon on drums
and Greg Bealla on bass, lead
and rhythm guitars. Also now in
the band, though not on the CD,
is guitarist Dan Armbruster.
Sometimes self-described as a
dance/party band, Chaump says
the group prides itself on diversi-
ty.
“We do everything from the
’50s to today’s Top 40,” he says.
“And Groove Train has always
featured multiple vocalists, and
that’s enabled us to really cover a
wide gamut of artists. Our main
vocalist, Rebecca, is outstanding
and allows us to do everything
from Donna Summer to Beyonce
to Colbie Caillat to Freda Payne.
You name it. We cover all styles.
And that’s something that we
really hang our hat on — having
that versatility and being able to
do it convincingly.”
The same theory now applies
to the new album, on which
vocal duties are also shared.
Work on the CD began about 18
months ago. It was recorded at
SOPHISTICATS
Chaump’s own Damon St. Stu-
dios in West Pittston and was
mixed and mastered at SI Studios
in Old Forge. Chaump served as
the principal songwriter on the
album’s 10 melodic tracks, with
Hetzel, Bealla and Bogdon also SOPHISTICAT HITS SENUNAS ON FRIDAY
making some contributions. He
says “myriad of different factors” PHOTOS BY: SHANE “SOPHISTICAT” GIBBONS
inspired the songwriting.
“Of course you have your real
life experiences and scenarios
that you go through, and other
songs germinate from something
fictitious, or have a universal
message that you’d like to use
and express to people,” he says.
“Every day can provide a reason
to write a song if you take the
time to sit back and analyze it.”
Tracks on the CD include
“Give Me Hope,” “Dance The
Night Away,” “Party On Down
The Line” and “The One.” It is
available through the band’s
website and is also downloadable
through www.digstation.com,
iTunes, CD Baby and Amazon.
Chaump thinks listeners will find
something to connect with and,
of course, to groove with.
“When somebody buys the
Groove Train CD, I hope they
can appreciate the variety of
musical styles, and I hope they
can appreciate the level of musi-
cianship and the care for produc-
tion,” he says. “And I hope they
can appreciate the craftsmanship
of the songs.” W

Ralphie interviews B.o.B.
T
he May 15, 2010 edition
of the Billboard 200
featured the debut album
of B.o.B atop the charts, selling
more than 80,000 copies. A
year after his No. 1 LP, “B.o.B
Presents: The Adventures of
Bobby Ray,” the Atlanta emcee
still can’t believe how quickly
the success came about.
“I try to stay away from a lot
of stats all the time,” Bobby
Ray said in an exclusive sit-
down interview with “The
Ralphie Radio Show.” “I don’t
; 7/
want to get too caught up in
stats. I’d rather just play the
( *' ( *$ ( ( '- ,(  .. 3
game and look at the stats at
the end of the game, but we
worked hard on that album.”
The success is yielding divi-
dends a year later, as B.o.B,
who performed for students at
The University of Scranton on
May 13, continues to tour the
globe performing hits like
“Nothin’ on You,” “Airplanes”
and “Magic.”
“You define your own suc-
cess,” he said. “Just trying to
get to the point where you have
steady income as an artist, that
MOUNTAINOUS AMUSEMENT
me.”
B.o.B received more than a
cake and an album purchase
from Fiasco, though. Both
“Nothin’ on You” and “Air-
planes” were originally slated
for Lupe’s “Lasers.”
“In the music industry, there
are songs that float around for
some years that have nothing
but a hook and a beat,” B.o.B.
explained. “A lot of the times
those are the songs that the
label has as like, ‘Alright, we’re
gonna push these songs (on
certain artists).’ It’s almost like
an outfit. As an artist, some-
times it’s frustrating because it’s
like, ‘I don’t wanna wear that
outfit, I wanna make my own
outfit and wear it because I
have a sense of style also and
I’m pretty sure my fans like the
type of outfits I wear.”
B.o.B was aware that Fiasco
had first dibs on “Airplanes.”
Judging the results, it seems the
track agreed with his wardrobe
in the end.
“A lot of people say A&R
and labels are wrong and they
don’t know what they’re talking

takes years to get. So, that fire
that keeps you (making music),
that’s what creates the type of
stamina that will allow you to
continue to be a touring artist
or whatever type of artist you
want to be.”
As a matter of fact, the rap-
per credits an artist he toured
with, Atlantic Records label-
mate Lupe Fiasco, as someone
who helped him get to that
point.
“Lupe really looked out for
me in a huge way, especially at
the point that I was at,” admits
B.o.B, who opened for Fiasco
last spring. “I remember on tour
he presented me with a cake for

my album release day, and he
bought an album. That was a
very memorable moment for
about. But I have to admit, '( ( 7-%6' * ' "% ('5
sometimes us as artists don’t
know what we’re talking about,”
he said. “Sometimes we get too
caught up in what we want, and
it becomes more about proving
a point than it does making
music for the fans.”
Finding common ground,
while not compromising himself
as an artist, is something that
B.o.B continues to strive for as
he creates his sophomore al-
bum.
“I feel like this is a very
special project,” he said. “I feel
like it’s even more special than 1-877-682-4791
the first album.” W mountairycasino.com

One-of-a-kind gifts Stanley fold-out ruler bracelet, Jacqvon of Brooklyn

S
hopping for gifts is a most enjoyable activity, if you are into giving unique gifts, that is. Being
the type of person who refuses to ever shop off bridal or baby-shower registries, I am always
on the quest for the perfect gift. I want to show that the gift is from the heart, something I
really thought about and took the time to choose — not just something that was easy to wrap.
Boutique shopping is always the way to go when searching for special presents. And I love having
a collection of international boutiques, so to speak, right at my fingertips. Etsy is an absolute dream
for people on the ultimate gift quest. Although often dangerous to browse (I always end up buying a
bunch of items for myself as well) if you can stay focused, you can find treasures that will be sure to
delight your recipient.
Here are some of my favorite unique items, and the Etsy stores’ profile names where you can find
them.. W

Weekender Editor
WHERE’S THE BEEFY KING?
Beefy King (76 S. Main St., Wilkes-Barre) has
closed temporarily as owners hope to relocate to a
location with a drive-through window within the
next few months. The restaurant opened last June
in a former Quiznos, which closed in 2009. Owner
and former Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguin
Dennis Bonvie lent his name to the Orlando, Fla.-
based franchise.
“We’re just looking for a better spot for our
customers; we just want to make them happy,”
co-owner Rebecca Briskie told The Times Lead-
er last week. “It’s a great product that we have, and
we just want to make it easier for them to get it and
go.”
Briskie shared that there are two buildings in the
Wilkes-Barre area designed for a drive-through
restaurant that owners are looking at, but wasn’t
ready to give the exact locations yet. One spot that
could be a fit is the former Taco Bell at 386 S.
Main St., which closed recently.
The closing of Beefy King does not affect its
neighbor, Blue Chip Gourmet, which has the
same owners but is a separate business. A chef prepares food at
BREWS ON THE MOVE last year’s FlavorFest.
Breaker Brewing Company, owned by Chris Miller and Mark Lehman, hopes
to soon expand its operations by moving to the former St. Joseph Church property at
783 E. Northampton St. in Wilkes-Barre Twp. Breaker Brewing Company’s beers,
which originally got its start seven years ago in Miller’s home in Plains Twp., can be
found at many local bars and restaurants.
An increasing demand for its products caused Miller and Lehman to look for a
bigger space to brew more beer and also to eventually open a restaurant and gift shop.
“What I like to tell people is picture a fancy gift shop, like a museum gift shop,
with a restaurant and brewery on site,” Miller said during an interview with The
Times Leader.
Miller also shared that the move and expansion would give Breaker Brewing Com-
pany a chance to get its products in markets like Allentown and Philadelphia, where
the company gets “a lot of inquiries from,” he said. “But we need more space before
committing ourselves.”
Negotiations are ongoing for the purchase of the church, but Miller said a closing
could happen this week. For more info on the brewery, visit breakerbrewingcompany-
.com.
A STUDY IN WINE

Barre) are in full swing, with Stars of NAPA Valley being held May 31.

Special to the Weekender
Clockwise from above left, La Cucina’s Tuscan salami appetizer, a side of pasta with sweet
sausage and the perfect meal ender, a frothy cappuccino.
Delectable dining in Dunmore
W
ord of mouth is a great way to
hear about a good restaurant,
especially when you get to
hear praise accidentally. Case in point:
Last week as my date Urso and I were
settling into our booth at the very homey
and comfortable La Cucina in Dunmore,
I overheard the man behind us say, “You
don’t have to go to Tuscany, you can just
go to La Cucina.”
Italian food lovers that we are, Urso
and I grinned excitedly at each other and
snapped open our menus, ready to go
to Tuscany ourselves, fueling up on the
yummy complimentary cheesy garlic
bread first, of course.
Our journey began as we perused
the appetizer section, which offered 12
items ranging from enticing escargots
and crab-stuffed mushrooms to calamari
and bruschetta. Since Urso and I couldn’t
decide between the prosciutto di Parma
($9.25) with fresh mozzarella and roasted
peppers or the Tuscan salami with Asiago
cheese and olives ($8.25), we got both.
When in Italy …
When it came to choosing an entree, I
couldn’t make up my mind and needed to
ask our friendly server, Molly, for extra
time to decide. Despite having a craving
for pasta, I passed on La Cucina’s pasta
night specials, where I could have
chosen from eight different pastas and
four sauces, and focused my attention
on the regular pasta menu. Complete
with manicotti, cheese tortelloni with
Bolognese sauce, creamy penne with
sausage and mushrooms, linguini with
red or white seafood sauce, it was hard
to choose just one, but in the end, I went

with the rotolo alla Medici ($13), spinach
pasta rolled with cheese and prosciutto
with Bolognese sauce.
Urso knew almost instantly that none
of the ample fish, chicken or steak dishes
would suffice when there was Braciola
di vitello alla Marsala ($18.25) in his
midst. He could never pass up veal,
especially when it’s in Marsala sauce
with mushrooms.
Our appetizers arrived, and we
quickly tucked in. Urso had four slices
of salty prosciutto and four large discs
of creamy mozzarella topped with pesto.
Flavorful roasted red peppers rounded
out his amazing starter.
I had five slices of delicious salami
and an ample supply of pungent Asiago,
which went perfectly with the kalamata
olives.

the main event, and neither Urso nor I $2.95, was a meal in itself. The sausage mascarpone, I wondered if there was

fertilizer.

Bear Creek Organics is a
local red worm farm and orga-
nic fertilizer company located
in the mountains of Bear
Creek. The company produces
a valuable fertilizer known as
Pocono Worm Poop. As
strange as it may sound, these
worms are really quite bene-
ficial.
“With the help of red worms,
Bear Creek Organics is facil-
itating the recycling of organic
waste and transforming this
material into a valuable organic
fertilizer,” said Richard Mitch-
ell Jr., the company’s founder
and owner. “We have been
working closely with local
businesses, communities and
educational institutions to re-
duce the amount of organic
material being sent to landfills
and to reduce chemical fertiliz-
er and pesticide use in our
environment.”
Compost use has a variety of
environmental benefits. By
recycling, Bear Creek Organics
is helping to reconnect the
broken cycle of nature by di-
verting organic waste away
from landfills and recycling
the nutrients and energy back
into the soil.
“We are trying to provide a
new way to recycle,” Mitchell
said. “Over the past three
months alone, we have prevent-
ed more than 10,000 pounds of
organic matter from entering
our local landfills.”
Community involvement is
crucial for the process to work.

We welcome you, your family and friends, to come out on Sunday,

August 7, 2011 as an individual or a team to take a stand in the fight
against cancer.

We have route options for everyone:

* 12 mile family friendly route along the scenic Susquehanna River

(mostly closed to traffic with three blocks of lightly traveled road).
* 30 mile route that takes a moderate climb into the back mountain
with beautiful vistas prior to a nice long descent and flat return.
* 62 mile route that encompasses a little bit of everything with great
scenery, trekking along the Susquehanna River, climbing up to Lake
Winola, along with some great descents to the flat return.
To learn more about the American Cancer Society,
please call us toll free around the clock at 1-800-227-
