group again for his New Year's
Eve smash in the banquet hall.
Then beginning with Jan. 11,
12, 13, the Scintas will be there
every month ... Joe has exclusive
rights to them in this area.
Watching this group work on
one of the three nights they were
recently here provided the in-
sight of much talent.
As another packed sellout
house of 400 looked on (it's that
way now every time the Scintas
are at Andiamo Banquet Cen-
ter), the energetic brothers,
Frank and Joe, and sister
Chrisie, with percussionist Pe-
ter O'Donnell, put on a lot of
show ... They're on stage three
hours, with a half-hour inter-
mission in between.
Their performances are very
fast moving, as a bevy of highly
versatile capabilities unfold for
much audience delight ... There
is little stopping their talents as
the Scintas do comedy, impres-
sions, musical orchestrations,
singing flexibility both serious
and comedic, and a lot of on-
stage ad-libbing.

Fact is, more Americans
may die by the fork than by
any other weapon. That's
because so many of them
use it irresponsibly. Like
to fill up on high-fat, high-
cholesterol foods. Foods
that can load the blood with
cholesterol, which can build
up plaque in their arteries,
increasing their risk of
heart attacks and threaten-
ing their lives. So next time
you pick up a fork, remem-
ber to handle it as you
would any other weapon.
For self-defense, not
self-destruction.
