THE SECRET GOURMET
WINCHESTER, Va. — Two basic elements of good cuisine are pretty primal in nature: smoke and meat. Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, 2524 South Pleasant Valley Road in Winchester, offers its patrons both and a lot more. The fare served at Dickey’s can best be summed up as Texas style-barbecue. Very tasty Texas style-barbecue, by the way. The selection of meats offered at Dickey’s is outstanding. All are slowcooked for 14 hours over a pit every day. When you walk through the door, the smells are intoxicating. Most importantly, the food lives up to the aromas. No matter what your tastes, there’s something for you at Dickey’s — unless

heaven. The ribs are essentially meat candy. There are a few aspects that made these ribs really good. First off, the meat was fall-off-the-bone tender. The flavor of the meat is outstanding. But more importantly, the ribs weren’t fatty. Another nice touch on the ribs was the Vegas cut, where instead of an even cut with equal meat on each side of the bone, one side of the bone was bare with lots of meat on the other side. While at first it appears Photo courtesy The Secret Gourmet the cut is uneven, it’s a bonus in that it allows you out of this world. It had a you’re a vegetarian.

The sweet sauce has a nice maple flavor to it, and the hot ‘n’ spicy is hot, but not so hot that you can’t taste the spices. To end the meal, Dickey’s also offers its customers all-you-can-eat softserve ice cream. If you think it out before getting your drinks, you can have a root beer float with your meal. The prices at Dickey’s are reasonable. A full dinner is going to run you $10-13, while a sandwich will be somewhere in the $4-9 range. Dickey’s is open every day from 11 a.m until 9 p.m.

Meanwhile Eva is both massaging and becoming friends with the somewhat flighty Marianne, who always manages to gripe about her ex-husband. Eventually Eva realizes that Albert is that ex-husband and even though the two have a lot in common — daughters going away to college, empty days ahead — Eva finds herself incorporating many of Marianne’s complaints into her relationship with Albert.

OK, it’s far-fetched, but the easy chemistry between Louis-Dreyfus and Gandolfini is wonderfully charming — you’re rooting for them even as the falsehoods pile up and the poison begins to flow. Each has faults — Albert’s weight problems and sloppiness, Eva’s neediness and lack of faith in herself — but they seem a perfect match. Until the truth comes out. Writer-director Nicole Holofcener (“Friends with Money,” “Please Give”) has a well-deserved reputation for nicely rendering awkward love and clumsy lives. “Enough Said” lives up to that rep.

Boss’ ‘light’ shines in this riveting collection
Special to The Journal
BY SONJA JAMES
Flashlight by Laura Boss (Guernica, 2010, $13) ııı Laura Boss’ “Flashlight” is a riveting and audacious book of poetry. In these poems Boss traces the trajectory of her life with the sure and skilled hand of a seasoned poet. She invites us to adventure with her in poems that are both humorous and tinged with pathos. “Flashlight” is a breathtaking experience. In the opening poem, “Airborne,” Boss sets the stage for our adventure with her: “Years ago at Caldwell Airport,/I left in a tiny plane/my sixteen-year-old was piloting.” She immediately lets us know exactly how she felt about a plane ride with such an inexperienced pilot even if it was her son: I did not want to be in this plane, but it was just after I had separated from his father, and my guilt was making me try to please this son I had so displeased by leaving his father. Her son flew her over New York City and then on
how women often do things they don’t want to just to please the men in their life “whether it be family or a lover.” She then reflects on the fate of Carolyn Bessette, Bessette’s sister and John F. Kennedy Jr., who also left Caldwell Airport on a Friday night only to die when their plane went down into the water. Boss comments on “how unlucky those other women were” and how “good intentions, guilt, and, yes, and even love/cannot always keep one airborne.” Thus, her poem about her own harrowing flight becomes a poem about what is expected of women in their relationships. Boss studies another aspect of the female condition in the poem “I Wanted to Go to Princeton.” She wryly observes “And it was my job if I couldn’t go to/Princeton to at least marry a guy/who had gone to Princeton.” In “Queen Esther,” Boss changes modes and writes of the Yiddish school her mother sent her to when she was 5. Boss recalls volunteering to be Queen Esther in the school play because to Maine. Coming home that trying to find out/exactly where we were.” He did not she knew her mother would night from Maine, he then told her to “scan the horizon have a spare flashlight, and do anything to help her even if it meant “staying up past the rest of the ride was a for planes/too near to us.” harrowing experience which midnight on/work nights to She held a map “which he sew a Queen Esther coscaused her to think about circled/with his flashlight-
tume.” In “The Versailles Hotel,” she writes of the period in her childhood when her father became manager of The Versailles Hotel. From the vantage of adulthood, she questions herself: “Though who was to know that the hotel would burn down to/the petunias, though who was to know that my father/would die so young?” Poems of family life provide flashes of remembrance throughout the duration of the book. In “So It Goes,” she speaks of the different advice given by her mother and grandmother on the subject of marriage. In “There Was a Time,” she reflects on the subject of her own maturity when it comes to relationships. She rounds this off with the poem “I Still Need to Have a Boyfriend,” where she admits “I still need to have a boyfriend/even though I’m officially in AARP.” In subsequent poems she writes of her mother’s memory loss and the birth of her granddaughter, Amanda Rose. At the close of the book, she pays tribute to Michael, her boyfriend of 23 years, who has recently died. In the final poem, “In My Dream,” he returns to her in a dream to help settle his estate. Above all, Boss’ “Flash-
light” is a book about relationships and how those relationships engage a female poet. She writes of sons and lovers, her parents, grandchildren, and even her dog. These poems are a learning experience for both the male and female reader alike. Whereas women may see themselves in Boss’ work, the male reader learns to be more sensitive to the female condition. These are feminist poems with a universal appeal. ııı Sonja James is the author of “Baiting the Hook” (the Bunny & the Crocodile Press, 1999), “Children of the Moon” (Argonne House Press, 2004), and “Calling Old Ghosts to Supper” (Finishing Line Press, 2013). Poets are invited to submit recent books for review consideration. Contact Sonja James at sonjajames@earthlink.net.

SHENANDOAH JUNCTION — September’s Mountain Heritage Arts and Crafts Festival is the perfect place to find unique Christmas gifts, said Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Heather McIntyre McIntyre said close to 200 artisans with varying talents bring items with fall decorating and Christmas in mind. “Nine times out of ten, you can find something that someone special would appreciate,” she said. “In the fall, crafters and visitors come with decorating and the holidays in mind.” The 38th annual festival showcases some of the best artisans up and down the East Coast. They’ll fill the grounds of Sam Michael’s Park with their food, products and demonstrations. Entertainment includes bluegrass favorites Patent
McIntyre said the festival does add new participants to get a variety. Often artisans are West Virginians. But some come from far and wide to participate. The festival is juried. A group of judges visits each booth at the festival twice a year and scores them. Possible new participants are asked to submit digital images and information online. In winter, applications are gone over and everyone is rated. The final participants are selected. McIntyre said the response to this year’s advance tickets sales is high. More than 300 discounted admissions have been sold. Advance tickets are $2 cheaper than the gate admission. And the festival’s website has a $1off coupon. The festival will take place Friday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day at Sam Michael’s Park, 1330 Job Corps Road in Shenandoah Junction. Admission is $7 for adults, $4 for children under 17, and children under 6 will be admitted free. For more information, visit www.jeffersoncountywvch amber.org.

Miss Piggy joins Kermit in Smithsonian collection
Associated Press
BY BRETT ZONGKER
WASHINGTON — Miss Piggy is finally joining her love, Kermit the Frog, in the Smithsonian Institution’s collection of Jim Henson’s Muppets, and Bert and Ernie will have a place in history, too. Henson’s daughter, Cheryl Henson, donated more than 20 puppets and props Tuesday to the National Museum of American History. The donation included Miss Piggy and some of her co-stars from “The Muppet Show” including Fozzie Bear, Scooter and the Swedish Chef. Henson also donated a number of puppets from “Sesame Street” including Bert and Ernie, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Grover, and Count Von Count. The donation also included Boober Fraggle and Travelling Matt from “Fraggle Rock.” Many of the puppets are the first constructions of the characters. The museum was previously home to Oscar the Grouch, Kermit and the cast of Henson’s early TV

Struthers said. When listening to Struthers’s songs, one can get a clear vision of the story she is telling. With musical references and sounds reminiscent of time as far back as the mid-19th century through time as current as yesterday, her stories are focused and concise. Without actual intent, Struthers said she realized the “Carnival” is a collection of stories she had written from a female perspective, where she then was able to arrange the songs chronologically as to follow a young girl through her lifespan. Struthers has an educational background in literature and
taught English in Brooklyn, but she couldn’t escape her destiny. In 2008, she decided to move to Nashville and commit to music full-time. She is able to deftly use her literary background to tell her “musical stories,” but the musician in her comes directly from her father, a bluegrass musician, she said. Born in Virginia, Struthers is quite familiar with the history and sound of Appalachian Americana and give a nod to her father’s musical upbringing. “I grew up playing with my dad duet-style,” she said. “He played banjo and I played guitar.” Nora Jane Struthers and The
Party Line took first place at the 2010 Telluride Bluegrass Festival in Colorado, and they’ve been touring full-time since February. The Party Line consists of P.J. George on upright bass, pedal steel guitar, accordion and banjo; Joe Overton, a longtime collaborator of Struthers, playing the clawhammer banjo; Aaron Jonah Lewis playing the fiddle, threefinger banjo, baritone fiddle, mandolin; and Drew Lawhorn on drums. Struthers performs lead vocals and plays acoustic guitar with George, Lewis and Overton on harmony vocals. See HERITAGE, Page 9

“I love to play shows and bring my music to different area in the country,” Struthers said. Struthers said she is very passionate about her story songs and she hopes she can help people see their lives through her telling the stories of others. Nora Jane Struthers and The Party Line have videos for “Carnival,” “Barn Dance” and “Bike Ride” on YouTube, and the album “Carnival” will be available to the public in April 2014. Also as part of the festival, three Shepherdstown artists are scheduled to perform at 8 p.m. Friday at the Frank Center. They are Chelsea McBee and the Random Assortment; Paul Kessler; and bluegrass band the Hillybilly Gypsies, featuring award-winning banjo artist Dave Asti. Scheduled to perform at 8 p.m. Saturday along with Struthers and the Party Line is legendary West Virginia fiddler Lester McCumbers.

Fitz and actress Kaylee Prices low, energy high at dance festival DeFer have first child AP National Writer
BY JOCELYN NOVECK
NEW YORK (AP) — Kaylee DeFer and Fitz of Fitz and the Tantrums are the proud parents of a baby boy. The lead singer of the rock band and the “Gossip Girl” actress welcomed Theodore Ignatius Fitzpatrick on Friday. The baby weighed 8 pounds, 13 ounces. Fitz, whose real name is Michael Fitzpatrick, said the couple had a doula to help with the birth. He said DeFer was “amazing” in the delivery room. Said Fitz: “I’m so proud of Kaylee ... she is the rock

NEW YORK — The other night in New York’s Central Park, the air was nippy but the sky was clear. The moon was full, and though there were no falling stars, there were plenty of falling bodies. Yes, falling bodies — from scaffolding several stories high. “Splat!” went the prone bodies, again and again, and though these were dancers, it resembled more of a contact sport — enough to make some observers wonder audibly about internal organ damage. But the audience loved it, as they tend to love most offerings from the annual Fall for Dance festival. The hugely popular festival was celebrating its 10th anniversary with the special al fresco prelude at the park’s Delacorte Theater. On Wednesday, though, the festival starts in earnest at its usual home, New York City Center, for 10 nights
of sold-out performances featuring 20 companies from around the globe. Why is Fall for Dance such a hot ticket that fans start lining up around the block at the crack of dawn or even the night before tickets go on sale, as if a huge rock band were coming? The first answer is the price. New York may be the dance capital of the world, but at around $100 to see a premier company like American Ballet Theatre or Alvin Ailey — similar to a Broadway show — much of the audience is sadly priced out. Fall for Dance isn’t free like Shakespeare in the Park, except for this year’s prelude, but it’s close: $15 for any seat in the house. “Personally I don’t think I could buy a ticket for $100 or more,” says dancer and rising choreographer Justin Peck, 26, of New York City Ballet. “That’s one of the reasons I’ve always loved Fall for Dance. It’s a really young, mixed crowd. There’s an exciting enthusiasm.”
