T he Philadelphia area doesn’t lack for museums, both traditional and offbeat — the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Insectarium, to name two — but don’t over- look the Stoogeum. Whether you’re a fan of The Three Stooges (which means you probably have X and Y chromosomes) or not (meaning you likely have two X chromosomes), the Stoogeum (stoogeum.com) in Ambler offers a well-curated collection of 100,000 items of memorabilia, documents, photographs, movie props and artwork of the trio, as well as a theater for viewing the comedy classics of the famous knuckleheads. Those knuckleheads made 190 short films, as well as a few feature films, in a career that got its start in the vaudeville-era 1920s and lasted into the 1960s. Despite all its members being long dead, black-and-white Three Stooges shorts can still some- times be seen on TV, and a new movie that was a loving reimagi- nation of their antics hit theaters in 2012. Five of the six men who played Stooges were Jewish, the exception being Joe “Curly Joe” DeRita, a Stooge from well past the team’s heyday. But mainstays Moe Howard, Curly Howard, Larry Fine and Shemp Howard were all Jewish, as was short- timer Joe Besser. THREE STOOGES: COLUMBIA PICTURES/PILLSBURY/WIKIPEDIA; SHOE PRINTS: LARRYRAINS/ISTOCK/THINKSTOCK.COM; SIGN (FACING PAGE): ANDY GOTLIEB 6 JUNE 8, 2017 THIS SUMMER JEWISHEXPONENT.COM Spread over 10,000-square-feet across three floors, the Stoogeum is the brainchild of Gary Lassin, who married into Fine’s family in 1981, becoming grandnephew-in-law to the Stooge born in Philadelphia in 1902 as Louis Fineberg. Fine died in 1975, so Lassin didn’t get to meet one of his idols. Lassin was collecting baseball cards at the time when he first met Fine’s brother. A look at some Stooges memorabilia sent him into a different direction. And when years of collecting left Lassin with boxes upon boxes of material, he figured there had to be a better way to showcase his wares. The Stoogeum opened to the public in 2004. Although the museum is open only on Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. because of limited staffing, it draws a few thousand visitors annually. Lassin explained why the Stooges remain popular. “They make you feel good about yourself — look at how dumb these guys are,” he said, comparing it to when a Wheel of Fortune contestant can’t solve a puzzle that has only one letter blank, leav- ing viewers at home shouting out the answer in dismay. Then there’s the Stooges’ ability to get away with things the average person can’t. After all, dropping dynamite at your feet and walking away only with singed pants and soot on your face doesn’t happen often. “It’s almost a world of human cartoons,” Lassin said. “It’s a way for grown-ups to get in touch with their inner kids. These are cartoons with real people.” What a lot of people don’t know about the Stooges is the frequent use of Yiddish and Hebrew words and phrases in their work. Of the 190 shorts the Stooges made, Hebrew or Yiddish is spoken in about 50 of them, said Lassin, who chronicled the usage in a 2011 issue of The Three Stooges Journal he edits. Sometimes it’s something as simple as someone saying “mazel tov” or “l’chaim,” but occasionally it’s more elaborate. For example, in Mutts to You, Larry and Moe are dressed as Chinese laundrymen when a police officer asks them where they lived in China. Larry responds with, “Ich bin a China boychik mit Slovakian bayner. Hak mir nicht tscheinki and I don’t mean efhser.” Translated: “I’m a Chinese boy with Slovakian bones. Don’t bother me, get off my back and I don’t mean maybe.” Considering the Stooges’ audience was widely gentile — and probably didn’t know they were Jewish — why use Yiddish and Hebrew, especially since the team members weren’t particu- larly observant? “My theory is if you weren’t Jewish and you heard a Jewish or Yiddish term, you assumed it was gibberish — and gibberish is funny,” Lassin said, noting that the Stooges spoke plenty of straight gibberish, too. They may not have been observant religiously, but Lassin said off-screen the Stooges were mensches.

They signed [auto- graphs] and posed [for photographs] for everyone.” Lassin, who also runs The Three Stooges Fan Club, said members tell stories about looking up the Stooges in their Hollywood homes, knocking on the doors and being invited in. He’s also seen handwritten personal letters that aren’t the generic responses celebrities typically send. “They knew without their fans, they really were nothing,” Lassin said. A few of those letters are displayed on the museum’s bottom level, along with movie theater lobby cards advertising their shorts, and examples of games, puppets, bobbleheads, puzzles, comic books, trading cards, costumes, vinyl albums and scripts, among other gems. Some other items of interest include Shemp’s Army discharge papers and Larry’s driver’s license. There’s also a display that pays tribute to the comedy team’s supporting players: Ardent fans will recognize the familiar faces that made regular appearances in the shorts. The ground level houses the Stoogeum’s 85-seat theater, a customized pinball machine, an arcade game, a Stooges “Whack a Mole” game, comic strips and other memorabilia. You can even play a Stooges trivia game. There’s a gift shop, too. And the top floor displays artwork, posters and life-size (the Stooges were all short) versions of Moe, Larry and Curly dressed as bellhops. The art came from both professionals and PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE STOOGEUM Continued from Page 7 Some of the items on display at the Stoogeum include clothing its members once wore (top) and life-size mannequins depicting the Stooges as bellhops (right). amateurs alike and includes animation cells, charcoal drawings, watercolors and folk art. Lassin said the Stoogeum does update its collection regularly — a display case is dedicated to new items — and noted that only about a third of the artifacts are catalogued. He said to expect future changes to the collections, although he didn’t provide specifics. “I don’t look that far ahead,” he said. “This is a place that goes back.” l Contact: agotlieb@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0797 Name: Renaissance Craftables Width: 7.5" Depth: 4.75" Color: Black plus one Comment: ThisSummer/Jewish Exponent Ad Number: 00073615 8 JUNE 8, 2017 THIS SUMMER JEWISHEXPONENT.COM what’s happenin’ DOWN THE SHORE? RACHEL KURLAND | JE STAFF Nothing quite rings in the official start of summer like going down the shore. ot even this past Memorial Day weekend — which experienced overcrowded, congested flocks of teens hanging at the Margate Wawa, starting fights and getting arrested — could stop that cool summer breeze and the feeling of shrinking responsibilities (key word: feeling). As we head to the Jersey beach towns — and avoid being a part of those youths’ Snapchat footage — there’s always new things to do and see, so plan ahead and fill up your calendars for seashells by the seashore, plus much more. ventnor Festivals and summer concert series are no stranger to Ventnor, but they include some new live music from the area. The Ventnor Summer Concerts run every Sunday from now until Sept. 3, rain or shine, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Newport Avenue Pavilion. The concerts range in genres, including blues, country, jazz, jam and Latin. Additionally, the Sunset Celebration at Ski Beach provides another opportunity to soak in some rays and enjoy the beautiful bay views and sunsets. Celebrations will take place June 14, July 16 and Aug. 11 from 6 to 9 p.m. The Ski Beach festivities are the only sunset celebrations on the island, according to the Amazing Ventnor Facebook page. Located at the end of Dorset Avenue and the bay, the event will also feature live music and performances, food and family- friendly activities. And when you’re not partying at the beach, don’t forget to head to the local farmers market along Atlantic and Newport avenues. The market is open every Friday from now until Sept. 1, 8:30 a.m. to noon. To support sustainability practices, the market encourages shoppers to walk or bike there, and don’t forget your own shop- ping bags (but if you do, you can buy custom ones for $2). ocean city A hub of Ocean City weekly events start up near the end of June, including Wacky Wednesdays, beginning June 28, with free contests for all ages. You can sculpt saltwater taffy into works of art, or participate in a good old-fashioned pie-eating contest. Check the online calendar to stay up-to-date (oceancity vacation.com). Contests begin at 10:30 a.m. at the Ocean City Music Pier. The farmers market at the Tabernacle Grounds is open every Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. through Sept. 6. weekly farmers markets feature fresh produce and local wares in Ventnor, Ocean City and Margate.

(Ocean City POPS has several other shows throughout the season.) in margate, pickleball has become a big hit — yes, pickleball — among the senior crowd. margate Over in Margate, pickleball has become a big hit — yes, pickleball — among the senior crowd. Pickleball is essentially tennis on a smaller court, using a hard whiffle ball. It has gained popularity in Florida, and seniors brought the craze up here to the shore towns. Margate recently built and opened three new courts (Ocean City built 12, too), located at City Hall. But let’s not forget about the kids. It’s not too late to sign up for summer camps in Margate, and rugby seems to be the hot new sport. Sign-up for kids between 6 and 11 is at margate-nj.com, with a deadline of July 5. There’s also a new STEAM camp and marine science camp, both of which are focused on the learning side of summer. cape may For those with a fervor for food, Cape May is the place to be. Cape May Restaurant Week kicks off June 9, offering fixed- price dining ranging from just $15 to $35 per meal. Visit cmrestaurantweek.com to see the list of more than 20 participat- ing restaurants in the area. And just at the end of summer, the Craft Beer and Crab Festival at Emlen Physick Estate is an all-day festival on Aug. 5 featuring local craft brews to wash down the not-so-kosher ocean delicacies. But there’s also live music, craft vendors and a farmers market.

One of the best places to do that? The beach. Plop me on the beach with a book, and I’ll be satisfied for hours. And at least one thing summer is good for is the endless supply of new books to read as you sit in a beach chair with a healthy dose of SPF and perhaps a Chipwich. Both 2016 and 2017 — so far — have offered a vast array of reads by Jewish authors (some local!) or with Jewish characters and storylines that will fit in perfectly with your beach aesthetic, whether you’re on the sandy shores of Bermuda or Ocean City. Be it a memoir, fiction, romance, thriller or any genre in between, here a few selections of some new(ish) books that are waiting to join you in the sun. E FICTION For fiction fans, there are tons of options, whether you want to be whisked away to London or Rio. And We’re Off by Dana Schwartz This quick, breezy debut by Dana Schwartz follows aspiring artist Nora as she heads to Europe on a mission from her acclaimed artist grandfather before going to an Irish artists’ colony — joined at the last minute by her mother, with whom she has a strained relationship. Riddled with teenage angst, romance (with a cute Irish boy, no less) and vivid scenery of destina- tions in Paris and beyond, And We’re Off provides a fun, escapist read that will make you want to hug your mother and traipse around Europe. 12 JUNE 8, 2017 Modern Girls by Jennifer S. Brown This 2016 novel follows a mother and daughter in New York City’s Jewish immigrant community in 1935 — and they both happen to be pregnant. Dottie is trying to be modern with her steady boyfriend and bookkeeper job, while Rose yearns to return to the activist roots of her youth. Both women’s situations alter their lives and change their worlds in this read that switches between both women’s narration, shining a light on their feelings and taking you along each journey. Ways to Disappear by Idra Novey The winner of the 2017 Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature, Novey’s debut novel centers on the disappear- ance of Beatriz Yagoda, once one of Brazil’s most celebrated authors, and her translator Emma, who tries to solve the mystery with Yagoda’s son and daughter. The novel has gained accolades from BuzzFeed to NPR and will surely satisfy your literary needs while whisking you away to Rio. The Orphan’s Tale by Pam Jenoff For fans of Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale, The Orphan’s Tale is a powerful story of survival and sacrifice against the backdrop of a traveling circus during World War II. It tells the story of two women, Noa and Astrid, a 16-year-old cast out after being impregnated by a Nazi soldier and being forced to give up her baby and the lead aerialist with whom she develops first a rivalry and then a friendship.

Kristoff is an apprentice to a Jewish stamp engraver — and his daughter for whom Kristoff falls — in Austria who becomes forced to engrave stamps for the Germans after Kristallnacht. Decades later, as Katie Nelson goes through a stamp collection of her father’s that she discov- ers, she is sent on an unexpected journey. As one of the area’s premier Life Plan Communities, Rydal Park is more than a place to live. It’s a place where people 62 and better can explore favorite interests, form new friendships and feel vibrantly alive. Come see why life at Stay Where I Can See You by Lori Miller Using adorable cartoons, local M.O.T. author Miller’s children’s book incorporates nature and the concept of kindness to share a story about the challenges faced by a family of turtles — mama and hatchlings — as they attempt to stay together. Safety is the key in this book, which will surely entice parents as the summer approaches and playground and water safety is on the brain. MEMOIR If reading about other people’s nonfiction lives is more your style, here are a few that should grab your attention. Rydal Park is The Rules Do Not Apply by Ariel Levy “When Ariel Levy left for a reporting trip to Mongolia in 2012, she was pregnant, married, financially secure, and successful on her own terms. A month later, none of that was true.” Such is how Amazon introduces the description for the memoir by The New Yorker’s Levy, who will take you on a whirlwind journey through her life in a book whose colorful cover will be perfect for Instagram. Hungry Heart: Adventures in Life, Love, and Writing by Jennifer Weiner Philadelphia’s Weiner is one of those novelists who you often feel is talking with you as a friend rather than an author. And her set of essays is no different. Honest and hilarious, Weiner shares inti- mate stories about her life in ways that will feel like you’re sitting at brunch with her talking about sex and body issues over mimosas. Though, I’ll be honest, her middle-grade book The Littlest Bigfoot is a joy to read as well, even if you’re not the intended 8- to 10-year-old audience. ’Ŗv’ĒĻËõîTààŘĹĮĒËĩËĻ’‡ęĹ Exceptional.

KOLMAN directed by Schadenfreude by Rebecca Schuman The first book by Slate columnist Schuman is described by the Jewish Book Council as “vivid and rollicking” as she takes the reader through various stages of her life. It also boasts an abnormally long subtitle (Me, the Germans, and 20 Years of Attempted Transformations, Unfortunate Miscommunications, and Humiliating Situations That Only They Have Words For) and promises a fun and funny read that plays with language and will be perfect for your summer vacation. NONFICTION There are also plenty of nonfiction and even academic books that are attention-grabbing. Here are a few: STEPHEN STAHL Ordinary People: Extraordinary Lessons — Leadership Insights from Everyday Encounters by Karen Friedman Former 6ABC Action News reporter Karen Friedman’s column in the Philadelphia Business Journal, Perspective on People, provided inspiration for Ordinary People (anyone else singing John Legend?), a compilation of anecdotal lessons from every- day life. Learn about different people and how varied perspectives can change the way we see everyday moments. Skewed: A Critical Thinker’s Guide to Media Bias by Larry Atkins In the age of fake news (unlike this article), getting news from myriad avenues and advocacy news networks pushing competing points of view, Atkins — a Jewish journalism professor at Temple University and Arcadia University — shows you how to separate the facts, give you the tools to critique the media and see both sides of an issue. In 1967, on the eve of Israel’s Six-Day War, a family that fl ed Nazi persecution for refuge in England fi nds their teenage son a victim of anti-Semitism and bullying at school.

The textbook presents readers with two different perspectives on controversial issues related to lifespan development. One such issue that may grab your attention is religion in early adulthood and looking at whether religion and spirituality mean the same thing to today’s college students. Jews, Gentiles, and Other Animals: The Talmud After the Humanities by Mira Beth Wasserman Rabbi Wasserman, a professor at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, delves into the Avoda Zara, “arguably the Talmud’s most scandalous tractate, to uncover the hidden architecture of this classic work of Jewish religious thought.” Again, not exactly a beach read, but Wasserman proposes a new way of reading the Talmud that ties it to the humanities.

But when day camp ends and those summer nights drag late into the evening, it’s important to keep kids busy and active. Fortunately, the Greater Philadelphia area has tons to offer (and some things are free!). This list — which isn’t designed to be exhaustive — gives plenty of options on any given day without sweltering in the summer sun. Sesame Place If you’re questioning how to get to Sesame Street, the commute isn’t too bad. Over in Langhorne, the beloved children’s show comes to life with roller coasters, water rides, shows and parades. Don’t miss out on a photo op with some of your favorite furry characters, either. swim club — it’s not too late to sign your kid up — or you can just lounge by the pool. IF YOU GO: Longwood Gardens If you and your little one are willing to cover more ground, Longwood Gardens has more than 1,000 acres of gardens and woodlands to see. Numerous performances and concerts — some free — take place throughout the summer. And through Sept. 30, the Summer of Spectacle fountain show will dazzle daily. 100 Sesame Road, Langhorne • 215-702-3566 • sesameplace.com (One-day tickets or season passes range from $50 to $155 per person.)

IRON IGS: PHOTO PROVIDED; STITCHING: M_PAVLOV/ISTOCK/THINKSTOCK.COM; ince the future doesn’t appear to be now for the 2017 Phillies, why not hop in the car this summer and see for yourselves what the future may hold? Depending upon where you live, it’s no more than 75 to 100 miles from your door to the home of any of three minor league franchises within the Phillies system. That way you can see for yourself whether Rhys Hoskins, J.P. Crawford, Dylan Cozens, Roman Quinn or any of a number of pitchers are the real deal for the Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs of the International League. You can head to Reading and, once you’re done at the outlet stores, find your way to FirstEnergy Stadium, where the Eastern League Double-A Fightin Phils seem well stocked with Scott Kingery, Andrew Pullin and pitchers Brandon Leibrandt and Shane Watson, a former first-round draft choice. Or, if you’re intrigued by what’s in the system a few years down the road, the Lakewood BlueClaws of the Class A South Atlantic League may be the spot to hit. Located 60 to 70 miles from Center City, the Jersey shore town that Ryan Howard, Maikel Franco and Freddy Galvis once called home is a place full of potential. Of course, it won’t be known for at least a couple of years whether players like pitchers Sixto Sanchez and Adonis Medina and outfielder Mickey Moniak, the No. 1 pick in the 2016 draft, ever realize that potential. 20 JUNE 8, 2017 But if the Phillies aren’t your team, there are still options — especially if you’re a Yankees fan. The Double-A Trenton Thunder, where Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Roger Clemens once did rehab stints and, before that, Nomar Garciaparra and Kevin Youkilis played when the Red Sox ran the team, is only minutes away. And if you don’t mind the two-and-a-half-hour or so trek to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, you’ll find yourselves at the home of the Yankees Triple-A RailRiders. Finally, the Wilmington Blue Rocks of the Class A-Advanced Carolina League are in the midst of celebrating their 25th season. A Kansas City Royals affiliate throughout most of its history, the team has produced 163 major leaguers, including Johnny Damon, Carlos Beltran, Zack Greinke and Eric Hosmer. So if you love baseball, but coming out to Citizen Bark Park does- n’t seem too appetizing, here’s a closer look at those alternatives. TRIPLE-A LEHIGH VALLEY IRONPIGS Completed in 2008, Coca-Cola Park in Allentown has a capacity of 8,278, which doesn’t include close to 2,000 more who can hang out in the picnic areas and other attractions scattered throughout the ballpark. The IronPigs — a reference to the pig iron synony- mous with the steel manufactured in the region — have served as the Phillies Triple-A club since the stadium opened. THIS SUMMER JEWISHEXPONENT.COM Throughout the years, the franchise has had only moderate success, but it traditionally has been at or near the top of attendance in the International League. They’re currently atop the Northern Division, having recently gone on a 12-game winning streak. SCRANTON/WILKES-BARRE RAILRIDERS The former home of the Phillies has been a Yankees affiliate since 2007 but the team did not become the RailRiders until 2013. The defending International League and Triple-A national champions have produced players like current Yankees Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird and Luis Severino. Located in Moosic, PNC Field officially seats 10,000, although more than 12,000 fans have packed the place on several occasions. At the end of the minor league season, PNC Field will host the Triple-A national championship game. DOUBLE A READING FIGHTIN PHILS The Double-A home of the Phils since 1967, Reading is tied for the longest continuous affiliation of any major league franchise. And FirstEnergy Stadium, which was built in 1951, is the oldest in the Eastern League, though it has been frequently renovated. That means Phillies fans have trekked to Berks County to watch hot prospects like Mike Schmidt, Larry Bowa, Bob Boone, Darren Daulton and Cole Hamels, among many others, for more than half a century. As in most minor league ballparks, tickets are affordable — ranging from $8 for lawn seats and up — plus fans get a more inti- mate place to watch players develop who might be that far away from “the show.” In recent seasons, Phils like Franco, Aaron Altherr, Aaron Nola and César Hernández came through Reading at some point. So did current IronPigs Hoskins, Cozens, Crawford, Quinn and Jorge Alfaro; most, if not all of them, project to be factors at the major league level. In the case of the BlueClaws, who play at 6,588 capac- ity FirstEnergy Park, it means checking out Moniak, who could be the Phillies’ centerfielder of the future. Going through the record books, among the current major leaguers who have spent time here since the franchise started in 2001 are Carlos Carrasco, Jonathan Villar, Jarred Cosart and Domingo Santana, all prospects the Phils dealt in trades. Considering Lakewood is still three steps removed from Citizens Bank Park, though, there’s no guarantee a player who excels here will eventually climb to the top of the ladder. CLASS A - ADVANCED WILMINGTON BLUE ROCKS The same holds true for the Royals’ long- time affiliate, although a cursory glance at alumni shows some impressive names. For whatever reason, Wilmington’s Daniel S. Frawley Stadium, where you can get a $7 ticket with Groupon, seems to attract real talent. Wilmington Blue Again, with a nice view of the Rocks mascot Delaware waterfront, it’s not too far away for anybody, and convenient. And for players who made a name for themselves with the Blue Rocks — from current Royals Mike Moustakas, Salvador Pérez and Raul Mondesi Jr., to Brandon Finnegan (Reds), Wil Myers (Padres) and Greg Holland (Rockies) — between Philly, Baltimore, New York and Washington, there are plenty of places to follow them once they’ve made it. l Contact: jmarks@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0729 Bring

Later, shortly after Jackie Robinson crossed baseball’s color line, Willie Mays made his minor league debut playing for the Trenton Giants. As for the current incarnation as the Yankees Double-A outlet, while there’s likely not a Mays, Robinson Canó or even Brett Gardner among them, there could be some players not too far removed from wearing the pinstripes. Besides, being only 30 miles or so from Center City, Arm & Hammer Park has always been a great place to take the family. For one thing, it’s easily accessible from just about anywhere. For another, between tickets, parking and concessions, you’ll spend a lot less than at any major league ballpark. Plus, even if the game’s not very entertaining, there’s enough going on to sustain anyone’s interest. CLASS A LAKEWOOD BLUECLAWS For the most part, Class A minor league baseball is for the serious fan.

York Road, Hatboro 215.441.8966 Open Monday-Saturday 10-5 JEWISHEXPONENT.COM THIS SUMMER JUNE 8, 2017 21 what we did ON OUR SUMMER VACATIONS ANDY GOTLIEB | JE MANAGING EDITOR Summertime and the living is … boring? As much as kids (and adults) long for the warm summer months, the complaint of “I’m bored” is a common one, especially as those kids become tweens and teens. And once you get to your teen years, there’s the expectation — or at least there used to be — that you should be working, if only to have a little cash in your pocket and occupy some of those seemingly endless hours. So I polled the staff and asked them how they occupied their teen summers. Of course, some of those teen summers occurred many moons ago, so memories might be hazy. That said, here’s what we remember. Andy Gotlieb May as well start with myself. For three years, I did that teen-guy mainstay of mowing lawns. Although I can’t convince my teen son, cutting lawns is the best gig a teenager can have. I set my own schedule and charged $16 per hour — and this was back in the early ’80s when the minimum hourly wage was $3.35 — a sum that undercut the professional lawn services. All those upper-middle-class folks in Newtown Square and Broomall were happy to pony up. When I went off to college, I had to give up the lawn-mowing gigs so I turned to that college-kid staple of camp counselor. For the next two summers, I worked at Camp Nock-A-Mixon in rustic (read: lots of neighboring rednecks) Kintnersville. Although I went from perhaps the best-paying teen job to one of the worst (under $500 for eight weeks, with no tips), it was a lot of fun. I worked as the overnight hike counselor. One of the first rules I was told was “don’t scare the kids.” Of course, my mature 18- and 19-year-old brain interpreted that as “scare the kids.” My favorite prank was played on a bunk of 10- and 11-year-old girls. I had their counselor tell a story about an ax murderer. While she told the story, I snuck off, grabbed an ax and headed into the adjacent woods. The counselor wrapped up her story with, “The ax murderer hasn’t been seen for more than 20 years, but people around here still claim they hear the chop, chop, chop of his ax in the night.” The moment she finished, I began smacking a downed tree with the ax and letting out assorted grunts and groans. I don’t need to describe the girls’ reactions. Another time (I set this up but wasn’t there), after a boy recounted what happened in all the Friday the 13th movies (Jason kills everyone) — the bunk decided to play truth or dare. 22 JUNE 8, 2017 One kid took a dare and was tasked with walking onto the small bridge across the creek and daring Jason to appear. What the kid didn’t know was that a counselor was under the bridge wearing a hockey mask and holding the same ax. So, when he called for Jason, Jason appeared. I don’t need to describe the boys’ reactions. Jon Marks What could be a better job in the world than selling ice cream in the summer? Who wouldn’t say that? But as it turns out, driving the truck and selling Mister Softee was, well, let’s say difficult. Especially the part where for 10 to 12 hours a day you’d have to listen to that unmistakable jingle. And trust me, more than 40 years later, I still cringe when I hear it. It’s one thing listening to that song when it comes into your neighborhood while the kids line up for their favorites. It’s another hearing it endlessly through each block, each neighbor- hood, hour after hour, day after day, week after week. Actually, my ice cream-selling career didn’t last all that long. Somewhere between getting robbed, having stuff thrown at my truck, working six-day weeks from noon until past midnight and being taught by my boss how to rip off kids by putting the ice cream on the side of the cone and letting it drip down rather than go down the middle, I decided this was not for me. Yet there were some nice perks to the job, like being able to park in my driveway for dinner, then filling up with enough soft ice cream to last the week. Of course, you wouldn’t want to eat too much, which cut into your profit margin. But at 18 percent commission — no salary — it turns out no one’s getting rich there. Sadly, I left Mister Softee behind after that summer and tried something else: Willow Grove Park, where I soon found out that life wasn’t such a lark when working 12-hour days and weekends for a below-minimum wage $1.35. THIS SUMMER JEWISHEXPONENT.COM Marissa Stern Like any good Jewish kid, I spent a lot of my summers growing up at camp. From day camp and eventually maturing to overnight camp, a lot of my summer memories are filled with free swim, mosquito bites and unfortunate arts and crafts projects. Hey, I tried, OK? But as a teen, my summer experiences shifted a bit. I still went to a camp, but it was different. I spent four or five years at the Young Performers Theater Camp run by the Department of Parks and Recreation, putting on musicals from Pirates of Penzance to Into the Woods in six weeks — and they came out really well, I’ll have you know — and spending every day with my best friends. But of course, staging a musical didn’t bring in any income for when I wanted to go to the movies or the beach, so I had to get a job. One year I was a sort-of C.I.T. and made some money at the end of the summer by passing out lunch during the day, but that wasn’t quite enough. So for a few summers from high school through college, instead of singing on stage, I was folding jeans at Old Navy. On July 4, I wore my shirt with the trademark, obnoxiously large American flag on the front and “STAFF” emblazoned on the back so I couldn’t avoid the mobs who came in for their $1 flip flops, leaving havoc in their wake. (They’re $2.50 regularly, people.) But aside from the obnoxious customers you’ll encounter no matter which retailer you work for, I actually had a blast. I probably spent more on clothes than I got back from my paycheck, as I would find items I liked for myself and hide them so I could buy them after my shift was over. And now I have the bad habit of fixing shirt displays wherever I go. Rachel Kurland I’ve had many run-of-the-mill summer camp jobs, ranging in versatility from camp counselor to camp director. When I was 18, I led the 4- to 6-year-old group at an outdoor aquatics-oriented Florida summer camp, filled with twigs (the code word used over walkie-talkies if you see a snake), logs (alligators) and slushies (a drink composed of far more sugar than a 40-pound toddler can handle). But if there’s one lesson I learned that summer, it took form in lead class clown and anti-napper, 5-year-old Jack. Jack, who had no concept of an indoor voice — though we were outdoors all day; sometimes you just need a break, right? — and was notorious for whipping fishing poles so hard hooks would get stuck in his swim trunks, loved to spend his nickels on candy at the concessions booth, specifically bubble gum. As we were playing in the grass one day, a bright blue blob fell out of his mouth and into the dirt. Before I could finish saying, “Jack, don’t —” the gum was pressed firmly between both palms and spread apart like a neon accordion. I asked, “Why did you do that?” “I don’t know,” he pondered. Jack and I spent the rest of the afternoon scrubbing bubble gum globs off his sticky hands. So what was the lesson I learned? Removing bubble gum is easier with peanut butter.
