ShEnAnIgAnS AnD ShAmRockS celebrate Scranton’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade

It’s once again time for Scranton’s annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

The second largest St. Patrick’s Day parade in the nation — trailing just Savannah, Georgia — Scranton’s edition first snaked through the city’s streets in 1962 and has grown exponentially since then. More than 100,000 people decked in green will turn out for the 55th edition this year when it steps off Saturday at 11:45 a.m.

More than 12,000 people will participate in the parade, and about 10 times that amount will turn out on the streets and at the city’s bars to enjoy the fun.

Official parade-related activities begin at 10 a.m. with the annual mass at St. Peter’s Cathedral, 315 Wyoming Ave. A 2-mile footrace, the Brian P. Kelly Memorial Run, follows at 11 a.m. and honors the former St. Patrick’s Parade Association president, who died in 2004. Proceeds from the race benefit a scholarship fund for his daughter, Norah Kelly.

The race departs from Scranton Cultural Center at The Masonic Temple, 420 N. Washington Ave. The run follows the parade route in reverse to St. Peter’s Cathedral, where runners will turn around and return to the finish line at the cultural center.

The top two male and female runners will receive medals in each age category. Awards will be given out at Lackawanna College Student Union Center, 600 Jefferson Ave., following the race.

Online registration for the race has closed, but racers can register the day of the run from 9 to 10:30 a.m. at the student union center. Registration is $15.

Runners who have preregistered can pick up their race numbers and T-shirts at the student union center during that time. They also can pick up their packets Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Scranton Running Co., 3 W. Olive St. Here are a few more details you need to know for the 55th annual Scranton St. Patrick’s Parade: n According to weather.com, we’re looking at a 20 percent chance of rain with a high near 58.

Sunrise is 6:19 a.m.

n If you’re planning to enjoy adult beverages prior to the parade, most downtown establishments open at 9 a.m. Eat breakfast and pace yourself.

Parade day isn’t a normal happy hour event. Bars and streets will be packed, and you likely will have to wait in long lines. n Take non-alcoholic beverages and a few bottles of water to stay hydrated. Also remember to take snacks and cash as well as arrange for transportation. n Parking will be in high demand, so you should go downtown early. If you are drinking, do not drive. A necessary police presence and checkpoints will be in place for everyone’s safety. n Throw on your green clothes, beads, Irish caps, fisherman sweaters, shamrocks, etc., and get festive. n The Parade route steps off from Mulberry Street and Wyoming Avenue, proceeds to Lackawanna Avenue, turns left, proceeds onto Jefferson Avenue, turns left onto Spruce Street and then onto North Washington Avenue, where it passes the William J. Nealon Federal building and the reviewing stand. The parade ends at North Washington Avenue and Vine Street.

PARADE DAY BAR LIST 2016 Parade Day in Scranton might just be the biggest bar-hopping day of the year. Before you head out, take a look at what some Scranton bars have in store for you.

n The parade’s two themes this year are the 100th anniversary of Ireland’s 1916 Easter Rising, and the 150th anniversary celebration of the city of Scranton. The Scranton and Archbald Notre Dame clubs will give cash prizes to the floats that most effectively convey either of the themes.

/MUSIC

PARADE DAY 2016

SOUNDS

The Singing Sirens

ENYA — Dark Sky Island THE GOOD: Irish singer/musician Enya (don’t call her “new age”) returns with her eighth album and first in seven years.

THE BAD: Nothing.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Some consider Enya an ongoing “guilty pleasure,” her music pretty but weightless wallpaper. Others find her soundscapes brilliant. Whatever description works for you personally, there’s no denying that Enya makes some beautiful tunes.

Dark Sky Island sticks to the formula. Enya creates the melodies and does 95 percent of the instrumentation herself while long time producer Nicky Ryan layers her vocals about 736,000 times, creating a multi-faceted sound both soothing and intriguing. Lyricist Roma Ryan (Nicky’s wife) supplies all the longing and romantic words.

The album ends up another collection of gorgeous compositions that are either down-tempo and heartbreaking (“So I Could Find My Way”) or pulsating and uplifting (“Echoes of Rain”). All of it finds that divine happy medium between the synthetic and the folk-based. So if you loved the woman once, you’ll fall in love all over again.

BUY IT?: Why not?

BEACH HOUSE — Thank Your Lucky Stars THE GOOD: American dream pop duo Beach House return (already) with its sixth.

THE BAD: Since Stars was released about eight weeks after the duo’s previous effort Depression Cherry, some may view this record as an “afterthought” or maybe a B-sides collection.

It deserves more respect than that, for this is a stand-alone album and one of the finest in the band’s catalog.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Obviously, this new set and Cherry were recorded at the same time. And while the style of both albums is similar, there are noticeable differences. Here, the songs are more direct; pure pop aesthetics are in the forefront,

24 M a r c h 1 0 , 2 0 1 6

and thick atmospherics play a less important role.

Drums, live or simulated, are also more prevalent.

Tracks such as “Majorette” and “All Your Yeahs” are all about gorgeous melodies, vocalist Victoria Legrand guiding us through some lovely Cocteau Twins-like throwbacks. Delicate bits such as the waltzing “Common Girl” and the graceful and airy “Somewhere Tonight” are both highly romantic and hypnotic.

BUY IT?: Oh yes.

GRIMES — Art Angels THE GOOD: Canadian electronic musician/ vocalist/producer Claire Boucher (stage name Grimes) comes back with her fourth.

THE BAD: Nothing.

THE NITTY GRITTY: If there were any doubts that this woman is one of the most innovative artists working today, Art Angels should finally quell those misgivings. This record is that good.

Grimes takes all of the loopy atmospheric stuff from her past releases and makes it all the more accessible without any traces of “selling out.”

The girl simply shows us that her songwriting chops are oh-so-divine and that she will soon be a massive force on the pop charts (probably as a prime collaborator or songwriter). Her own stuff is still too cool for KRZ. Art Angels covers all the computerized bases, bringing in elements of dream pop, hip-hop, R&B, chill, EDM — whatever makes this sweet goo all the more irresistible. And her high pixielike vocals remain the cherry on top, forcing you to play the record over and over again.

BUY IT?: Yes! Right now!

The story gave Brown the inspiration for the title of the debut album. While the train whistle sound is not included on the album, Penska plays it during a few songs. Originally thinking that it could be the title of a new song, Brown decided it would be an appropriate name — and story — about the experience of their first record.

The folk band performs songs that bring awareness to current social issues — like “100 Proof Water” about natural gas drilling, but the majority of their original songs share everyday relatable tales.

“Somebody told me a long time ago that I should try ethical as opposed to political,” Brown said. “You should speak your mind, especially if it’s something you believe in, but the songs that I write tell a story. There are characters, and I think most people can identify with them. At least that’s what I hope — music for anybody.”

While Brown wants the audience to identify The with the music, another band member gives credit fourto Brown that truly gives the album an edge. piece band “Dave killed the vocals,” said Casper. “The muincludes Dave sic is good, but he killed the vocals on that album.

Wilkes-Barre will fill with the Irish spirit Sunday when the city hosts the 36th annual St. Patrick’s Day parade. The fun steps off downtown at 2 p.m.

Paradegoers can expect the usual entertainment and participants, all gathered to celebrate Irish heritage. About 20,000 to 25,000 spectators, many from other areas, gather for the parade.

As in recent years, the day will be preceded by Renal Race 5, a run/walk that raises money for kidney cancer research and awareness. That begins at 10 a.m. at 77 E. Market St. That night at 7, the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts, 71 Public Square, will host “Rhythm in the Night, The Irish Dance Spectacular.”

Live entertainment kicks off at 1 p.m., with the Irish folk band The Hooley Boys performing in Public Square.

SCREENS

MOVIE TIMES: THE570.COM

by Jeff Boam

OPENING THIS WEEK

10 Cloverfield Lane Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman In this PG-13-rated sci-fi thriller produced by J.J. Abrams (Star Trek, Star Wars: The Force Awakens), a young woman (Winstead) wakes up from a car accident and finds herself in the basement of a man (Goodman) who says he’s saved her life from a chemical attack. The Plus: The genre. If you listen to executive producers Drew Goddard (Cabin in the Woods) and Matt Reeves (Let Me In), this flick might be a hypothetical but not a literal sequel to their 2008 hit, Cloverfield. In fact, the story originates from a micro-budget spec script penned by two industry newcomers, John Campbell and Matt Stuecken, so any connection is probably tangential. Regardless, since this top-secret project dropped a surprise trailer on moviegoers who didn’t even know that it existed ahead of screenings of 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi in January, social media has been eating up the movie’s viral marketing campaign. The Minus: The odds. Though low-budget, such films sink or swim based on word of mouth. If 10 Cloverfield Lane opens to bad reviews, audiences might choose to skip to the next property.

London Has Fallen Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart H1/2— Pip Pip Cheery-Ugh Mounting Olympus again with more of the same and fish and clips besides, Gerard Butler and company up the ante on an international stage with all of the aplomb of a popcorn fart. In this R-rated actioner, Mike Banning (Butler) discovers a plot to assassinate all of the attending world leaders while in London for the Prime Minister’s funeral. If London Bridge is falling down and no one cares about it, does it really matter? When the movie in question is London Has Fallen, the answer is a resounding ‘no.’ No one asked for a sequel to Olympus Has Fallen, a halfway-decent action flick that should have left these paper doll-thin characters well enough alone. Instead, the movie shoves a hunky twosome consisting of a ripped secret service agent and slim fortysomething president at the audience like we’re all old workout buddies. Friend status only gets extended to above-average franchises, however, and these caricatures have yet to fully endear themselves to paying customers. Sure, they survived a terrorist takeover of the Oval Office, but White House Down pulled off the same blockbusting feat with more charisma in the same year. But here we are, restaging the same explosive bedlam on an exaggerated scale with this twofer hoofing through London. While some of the explosions, SFX and fight scenes impress, the recycled Z-Movie dialogue and inane, ahem, plot lands with an eye-rolling thud. It’s more of the same, and the sum result of increasing the ingredients means there’s just more of these reheated leftovers nobody wants to eat. Even with stale lines like “You should’ve brought more men” leveled at the clichéd villains, Butler and Eckhart at least act the parts of being action heroes (Morgan Freeman, meanwhile, plays Morgan Freeman for the 1,000th time). Just like Westminster Abbey and most of the London landmarks, however, they find themselves sitting amid some smoking ruins.

The Young Messiah Sean Bean, David Bradley This PG-13-rated drama tells the story of Jesus Christ at age 7 as he and his family depart Egypt to return home to Nazareth. Told from his childhood perspective, it follows young Jesus as he grows into his religious identity. The Plus: The demographic. Faith-based entertainment comprises a sizeable sect of the filmgoing public these days. After the PG-rated atheismchallenging drama God’s Not Dead opened to the tune of $60 million in 2014, H’Wood took notice that feel-good Christian-baiting dramas often bring in some serious coin. In 2014, Heaven is For Real made over $101 million. In 2015, War Room made nearly $73 million. Currently, The Risen has more than earned back its $20 million budget and is still doing decent business in theaters. Distributor Focus Features is hoping that God will likewise smile down on the latest such release, The Young Messiah. Produced by Chris Columbus (Home Alone, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone) and based on the book Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt by Anne Rice, this flick stars former Game of Thrones co-stars Bean (The Martian) and Bradley (FX’s The Strain).

The Minus: The quality. Though neither God nor Heaven nor War Room nor Risen fared very well with critics (let’s be honest — NOT the target demographic), bad word of mouth keeps such films from earning The Passion of the Christ-like figures and reaching broader audiences.

SMALL SCREENS

Love Gillian Jacobs, Paul Rust HHH1/2 — Afterthought Delight This Netflix original comedy series follows a couple (Jacobs, Rust) who must navigate the exhilarations and humiliations of intimacy, commitment and other things they were hoping to avoid. Whether in the ruins, in the afternoon, or on the run, Love is the drug that drives many a comedy, including this scattershot but earnest look at the subject from Judd Apatow. We’re right to expect something much greater from the writer-producer of modern TV classic Freaks and Geeks and interesting sitcom antidote Undeclared, however. What we end up with proves to be a variation on the same Beauty and the Geek theme explored in his films The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up without nearly as much resonance. Oh, there’s both a Freak (Jacobs plays a risk-taking wild-child struggling with addiction) and a Geek (Rust plays a wide-eyed heart-on-his-sleeve nice guy who’s a dead ringer for Paul on The Wonder Years) but the 10-episode arc fails to tell us nearly as much about the titular subject as Apatow’s earlier television foray. Still, these amazingly likeable actors work hard to sell through their unlikely chemistry. Also, Apatow and his fellow producers, Lesley Arfin and Rust, set up a somewhat endearing cross-section of Angelinos between the main characters’ workplaces. The story of our couple gets off to slow and slipshod start, but their little worlds suck you in and the result is often humorous and sometimes touching too.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Tina Fey, Margot Robbie HHH —The Skirt Locker Thanks to a game face BFF like Tina Fey, you won’t want to go AWOL from slight war comedy WTF once you’re there, but there’s not enough LOL or W00t! to really earn your presence in the first place.

In this R-rated comedy based on The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in Afghanistan and Pakistan by Kim Barker, a journalist (Fey) recounts her wartime coverage in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Tackling some deathly serious subjects with a restrained worldview pretty much negates the purpose of taking an R-rated humorous look at the war in Afghanistan. The condom’s off, so why just go to second base and safely retreat home? That’s exactly what WTF does, however, raising very topical issues like female oppression and then backing away as if to say that bringing it up at all equals out-and-out ballsiness.

The memoir part of the movie achieves slightly more, if only because Fey casts off any thought of sketch comedy in the form of SNL or situational comedy in the form of 30 Rock in her committed portrayal of Barker, a journalist “finding” herself amid finding herself in a controversial war zone. Martin Freeman likewise earns his stripes for NOT playing a variation on the same character he’s played in everything from the BBC’s Sherlock to The Hobbit series to FX’s Fargo.

WITH ALAN K. STOUT

Ashley Gries is the owner and operator of Simply Lush Portrait Boutique in Scranton. The boudoir photo studio is celebrating its official grand opening on Thursday, March 10. Gries, 26, is a native of Scranton and is a 2008 graduate of Scranton High School. She later studied at the University of The Arts in Philadelphia and received a bachelor’s degree in visual arts from Keystone College. She is engaged to Mark Matthews and will be married in September.

She lives in Dunmore. Meet Ashley Gries …

Is there anything that you do to set the mood?

Is there music? Are there candles? Is there wine involved?

And the women are free to bring someone What was it about boudoir photography that first with them if they’d like to help them relax a little bit. drew you to it, and what was it about it that made And I have a questionnaire that I actually send them you want to open your own studio? ahead of time to help tailor their session and in that Boudoir photography is mainly what I do.

But they usually warm up within 10 to 15 minutes and have a lot of fun. They always leave the session feeling like they’re a “new them.” They feel very confident. I’ve had women who have done it just for themselves — not for a significant other — who just need the boost of confidence. Or they would like to remember themselves as they are now for years to come. And there have been women that have come back to me and have said, “My husband’s been telling me that I’ve been walking around the house with my chin up in the air.” That’s a good feeling. It’s really rewarding to me to help women feel beautiful about themselves.

I assume the photos can be as risqué or as conservative as the subject chooses.

Absolutely. Boudoir photos can be as conservative or provocative as the client wishes, but they’re

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

When I have free time, I do enjoy spending time with my family. That’s one of the reasons that I chose to open my own business, so I have time to schedule with my family and my friends. I also go to a lot of hockey games down in Philly. But right now, most of my free time is wedding planning, for my wedding.

Favorite music?

I have very eclectic tastes in music. It can vary from what people consider hard-core metal to pop, punk, indie and rockabilly. I sometimes listen to Justin Beiber. That might be my guilty pleasure. I don’t really listen to the radio much, but when I do and his songs come on, I don’t turn it off. I start singing in my car.

always done in a tasteful manner. That’s what makes boudoir. They are photos to celebrate romantic love and self-love. Some people may look at a boudoir photo and see it as inappropriate or too risqué, but it’s just the opposite. Boudoir gives the client a chance to express and celebrate their love for their own body, along with sharing that love with someone special.

Many women of all ages chose a boudoir shoot in order to celebrate confidence and share their sexuality with their partners. All ages, body types and stages of life can benefit from a boudoir session, and no one should ever feel self-conscious about the experience.

I hear, 100 percent of the time, my clients say that they immediately felt at ease after entering my studio and meeting me. And I absolutely love that.

PUZZLe PAGe

Each of the 26 letters of the alphabet is represented in this grid by a number between 1 and 26. Using letter frequency, word-pattern recognition and the numbers as your guides, fill in the grid with well-known English words (HINT: since a Q is always followed by a U, try hunting down the Q first).

Only lowercase, unhyphenated words are allowed in kaidoku, so you won’t see anything like STOCKHOLM or LONG-LOST in here (but you might see AFGHAN, since it has an uncapitalized meaning, too).

Now stop wasting my precious time and SOLVE!
