W-B man: 'Witches are trying to kill me' Jake Jenkins home-schools his kids to protect them from witches he says live nearby. By JON FOX [email protected] WILKES-BARRE - To hear Jake Jenkins tell it, he's battening down the hatches in a battle against evil. As he opens the door on his Waller Street home, the sound of scraping metal and wood escapes through the cracks. He's pulling back the bars and beams that keep his family secure. And the witches out. "Yeah, wood and steel," he said, standing in the open doorway. "Nobody's getting in." Jenkins, 51, and his wife spend much of their time hunkered down in their two-story home along with their eight children ranging in ages from 22 years to 1. He said he home-schools his children. "I'm no fool." Wilkes-Barre Area School District Superintendent Jeff Namey said parents who home-school their children must submit an application to the district, a curriculum, and a portfolio of students' work at the end of the year. Asked if Jenkins was registered with the district as a home-schooling parent, Namey said he didn't know but would check. Jenkins doesn't really want to talk about himself, or his family for that matter. "The witches are after us, so I don't really want to get into any personal stuff," he said. He told a Times Leader photographer "witches are trying to kill me." Asked why, he said, "I really don't know." His protection against dark forces extends beyond his front door. A tree stump in the center of his small front yard is adorned with wooden stakes: nine point skyward, and seven jut from its side along its circumference. "It's a map of the neighborhood," Jenkins said. "Each spike points to where a witch lives. "There's a whole bunch that live up there," he said, pointing north up Waller Street. The horizontal stakes, painted red, point out the witches, he said. The purpose of the vertical ones? To gently dissuade witches from using his stump for ceremonies. "What they used to do is come by and sit on it," he said. An orange plastic fence on either side of his home is yet another anti-witch precaution. "They would always try to sneak over." Jenkins won't name names, but says he's got the dirt on the neighborhood. "The one up there, she drinks human blood," he said. "The one ... there, she's the real high-level witch, but she's real slick." Standing on his porch dressed in warm-up pants, a T-shirt and a sweat-stained army cap, Jenkins explains Luzerne County is the location of the largest witches coven in the state. "Police know about it," he added. "No one has come to me and said we have a problem with witches on Waller Street," said police Chief Gerry Dessoye. He said records of police responses to the South Wilkes-Barre street would be available today. Police respect the freedom of individuals to practice Wiccan, followers of which are often referred to as witches, he said. As Jenkins spoke from his doorway, to his right hung a "Ghostbusters" poster with a witch standing in for the ghost, attached to the worn siding of the home. "A family project," he calls it. "You have the witches that want to play at it, and then you have the real serious bastards, deadly," he said. He should know - he said his own brother, who used to live next door, is one of them. Bill Jenkins was convicted in 1998 on 10 federal charges for trading machine guns for marijuana and sentenced to 47 years. According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, the guns - semi-automatic weapons converted to automatic - were being sent to members of a white supremacist group, the Aryan Brotherhood, and the Dirty Dozen motorcycle gang. It was Bill Jenkins who tipped Jake Jenkins off to the existence of the witches. "Basically I started watching my brother. That was back in the 1990s." In the early morning hours of June 20 - the same month Jenkins put the stakes around his tree trunk - his brother's old house went up in flames under what fire officials say are suspicious circumstances. Fire Chief Jacob Lisman said the individual in charge of the investigation was away on vacation Wednesday and more information might be available today. Jenkins said he's happy the home burnt; it's another blow against the witches. Jenkins' neighbors, on the other hand, don't seem too concerned about any supernatural activity or the front yard display. Chris Foote, 23, lives across the street and a couple of homes away. Foote said he never thinks about Jenkins' stump display. "I don't really know what the deal is with that. They've always been weird, so I really thought nothing of it." Gene and Becky Dill live directly across Waller Street from Jenkins. He warned them about the neighborhood activity, they said. They just shrugged their shoulders. "We said OK," Becky Dill said. Are there witches on Waller Street? "I have no idea," Becky Dill said. "I don't even know what a witch is." "Yeah," Gene said with a grin. "I live with one," he added, nudging his wife. http://www.timesleader.com/mld/timesleader/news/9673985.htm

The follow up to the Strokes' 2003 sophomore effort Room On Fire has yet to be given a title, tracklist, or release date, but Gentles did reveal the following in a recent email to fans. "The five members of the The Strokes have been in their recording studio here in NYC making the third album. They're about five songs into it right now, and they're working with a new producer...David Kahne. No word on when they'll be finished, it will take as long as it takes, but we're confident that it will come out sometime this year." The band had previously been holding tight to a "when it's done" line, so Gentles' declaration of a 2005 release is welcome news. Not to be outdone, typically tight-lipped singer/lyricist Julian Casablancas offered his own thoughts on the new album in a recent website post, "It's coming along nicely." http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/news/05-01/25.shtml#story2

Ariels ~ Bent Over and Over Again, December 9, 2004 I just got this cd and i think it's definitely better than the Programmed to Love album (which I'm really into as well). Reading about the geniuses behind Bent (Nail & Simon), this album derives from a life changing experience one of the members had; an illness and a birth of a child. The CD was even recorded in a chapel... and if you listen to the album you might agree that it emanates a touch of bliss and rapture. "Coming Back" is a great song with an 'asianesque' guitar riff. "Sunday the 29th" is probably my 2nd favorite song that has beautiful lyrics. My favorite track is "Silent Life". The vocals, chorus and riffs are just poignant. This song instantly puts me in a good mood. "As You Fall" has great vocals. "Exercise 4" takes you back to Bent's true electronic/pop style. Boy wouldn't it be a treat to see Bent along with Air, Lemon Jelly and Zero 7. As stated in the title, I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. - Dylan Ho "dealinhoz" (Los Angeles), Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-review...5295702-4253538
