Hair Raising Musical rock of ages rolls into nepa

You know the story: small town girl moves to Hollywood to pursue her dream of becoming an actress.

She falls in love with an aspiring rock star. You know the words. That’s half the fun of a jukebox musical like Rock of Ages.

Little Theatre of Wilkes-Barre opens its 94th season on Friday, Sept. 9, with the regional premiere of the ’80s glam rock show. When “Don’t Stop Believin”’ cues the musical’s finale — and you know that’s how it will end — it is expected the audience from teen to senior will join in.

Conceived by Chris D’Arienzo and constructed around ’80s rock and glam metal songs by Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Pat Benetar, Twisted Sister, Poison and others, Rock of Ages is not just for folks who grew up during the Reagan era, confirmed director Thomas Franko.

“This is not your normal night of theatre. It’s like you’re going to Montage for a rock concert,” Franko said. “We think it’s going to attract a different group of people — not only the theatre crowd and the folks that always come and see shows at all the theaters, but it is going to attract new people.”

While Rock of Ages is a theatrical show, Franko said, he likens it to getting 25 of your favorite ’80s hits for the $20 you might put in a jukebox at a local bar, plus a live stage show. Little Theatre has even applied for a liquor license to serve alcohol during the run of the show.

Set on the notorious L.A. Sunset Strip in 1987, Rock of Ages is a stylized music video world come to life and doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Franko referred to a moment in which assistant club manager/narrator Lonny Barnett (Lou Lyons) jokes, “I was hired to explore deep and challenging plots and here I am narrating a show with boob jokes and Whitesnake songs.”

“It’s a very hammed up script,” Franko said. “It’s not campy like Rocky Horror. This is like, ‘How many jokes can we squeeze into this?’ There are a handful,

maybe two or three of what I’ll call serious moments, and my take on it is that we want to play up those serious moments to counterbalance the humor that’s in it.”

The boy/aspiring musician is Drew Boley (Joey James) who meets girl/aspiring actress Sherrie Christian (Katie Owens) promptly after she gets off the bus from Kansas, and helps her get a job where he works in The Bourbon Room. The uncertain climate breeds the expected uncertain romance between the two. Stacee Jaxx (Conway Rowe) is the established rock star who both corners out the love triangle and also falls from grace, so that Drew can rise in his place. And because every story needs conflict and a villain, there is a pair of German developers (Christian Lynch and John Beppler) trying to buy up and clean up the Sunset Strip against the will of city planner (Maureen Hozempa) who leads the protest to save sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll.

Make that insinuations of sex and drugs. If Franko was asked to rate the show, he’d give it a PG-13.

“Are there scenes where someone happens to get some in the men’s bathroom? Yes. There are scenes in a strip club. Obviously no one is stripping, but there are strippers,” Franko said. “Is there drug use in it? Yes. But nobody is doing heroin or cocaine. There’s a reference to one character who smokes a lot of weed, so we let him do his thing. Obviously it’s all fake.”

The rock ‘n’ roll, on the other hand, is most definitely real.

“In a lot of musical theatre productions, the band is either in a pit or they’re backstage. With this the band — Arsenal — is an actual integral component of the show and had lines. We built on the stage, a band stage that they are going to be on, so you will see two guitars, the bassist, a drummer and a keyboard player.”

While most people who buy Rock of Ages tickets are probably coming for the music, Franko said, he still worked with his cast to ensure everyone on stage — from leads to ensemble members — has a character

that will develop during the course of the show.

“They all came up with their own names, their own back stories and mannerisms. We incorporated some of that into the costuming … and it helps give them stuff to do in the background instead of just being there, they can be there in their character. It’s the ’80s: they might want to be drinking a wine cooler.”

Just because the score features popular tunes doesn’t mean it’s easy to sing, especially for classically trained singers, the director assured.

“Those of us who have a very theatrical voice, a lyrical voice, probably can’t do justice to this show.

In the same manner that you wouldn’t see David Lee Roth sing a Josh Groban tune, and you don’t see Josh Groban sing anything from Van Halen. It just wouldn’t happen. They are two very different types of vocals…

(Rock of Ages) has to sound like a rock and roll show.

It has to sound like a concert. So we can’t have those voices mixing.”

The production team searched for five weeks to cast the show, holding extra auditions to find the requisite “very, very heavy rock tenor type voices,” in particular, said Franko.

The resulting cast features some musical theatre veterans along with performers new to Little Theatre.

Both Joey James, who is the show’s musical director and who plays Drew, and Conway Rowe, who plays Stacee Jaxx, are making their Little Theatre debuts.

James joined Trans-Siberian Orchestra tribute band Twelve Twenty-Four shortly after graduating from West Chester. Rowe works with Act Out in Taylor and auditioned specifically for the rock star role.

“He just blew it out of the park at the audition,” Franko said. “He costumed himself. He went out and

got a rhinestone belt buckle that says “Stacee” on it.”

Other notable newcomers are choreographer Dan Pittman from Chambersburg, who responded to an ad placed on a state arts network/board after knowing NEPA only from his work with the Chipotle restaurant chain.

“He works a lot with kids and really wanted to work on a show he could grind his teeth on,” Franko said.

“There are a lot of meaty dance numbers. Out of 25 songs, 13 or 14 are fully choreographed.” Pittman has had significant help from dance captain Janelle Nemetz and Kate Musto, assistant dance captain.

“As a director, my first concern is that everybody is having fun and everybody is feeling that it is a positive experience in a positive environment, and you feel supported from both the institution and the crew and from each other, and I think we have that,” Franko said.

“The cast is always laughing. …They’ve been hearing the punch-line jokes for two months now and they are still laughing, so I can only imagine what it’s going to be like when people who haven’t seen it, see it. We’re busting our butts and we’re sweating our butts off, but we’re having fun and that’s the most important thing, and because we’re having so much fun, that’s going to spill out into the crowd.”

Grammy-nominated band 3 Doors Down will rock Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, Sept. 7, joined by Pop Evil and Red Sun Rising.

The show begins at 7:30 p.m. at F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts, and doors open at 6. Tickets are $49.50, $59.50, $79.50 and $89.50 plus fees.

After its 2000 hit, “Kryptonite,” launched the band into mainstream success, 3 Doors Down continued its success with its first studio album, The Better Life. The multi-platinum record boasted several more successful tracks, including “Loser” and “Be Like That,” and was followed by the founding of the band’s charity, The Better Life Foundation. 3 Doors Down released its latest album, “Us and the Night,” this year.

Rockers Pop Evil have toured with such groups as Five Finger Death Punch and Papa Roach and were part of the Rockstar Uproar tour. Their hits have included “Trenches” and “Monster You Made.” Rock quintet Red Sun Rising, meanwhile, released its latest album, Polyester Zeal, last year.

In more recent years, Michaels has appeared in front of the camera as well, starring in the reality shows Rock of Love with Bret Michaels and Bret Michaels: Life as I Know It. A Type 1 diabetic, he also donated the money he raised by winning Celebrity Apprentice to the American Diabetes Association, which later gave him its first Chair’s Citation Award.

SOUNDS

SIMPLE MINDS

PETER BJORN AND JOHN — Breakin’ Point THE GOOD: Swedish indie trio Peter Bjorn and John go for big pop sounds on their seventh and first in half a decade.

THE BAD: Some may cry “sellout!” The band utilized some heavy outside producers on this one; people like Paul Epworth (Florence and the Machine, Foster the People) and Greg Kurstin (Sia, Kelly Clarkson, Adele). The boys may be looking for a legitimate hit, or at least something to finally overshadow the underground success of 2007’s “Young Folks” (still their signature tune).

THE NITTY GRITTY: All behindthe-boards intentions aside though, Breakin’ Point is a damn good album; a super-polished collection of memorable pop songs that demand repeat spins. Tracks like “Love Is What You Want” and “Do-Si-Do” are brightly colored and highly infectious; the breezy stuff that complements any sunny Saturday or carefree night out perfectly. And yet these songs aren’t disposable in the least bit. Breakin’ Point is a shining example of that wonderful Swedish song craft we’ve been appreciating since Abba sang “Waterloo.”

BUY IT?: Oh yeah.

an understatement. Here’s hoping the next album shakes up matters, because with the formula wearing thin, it must.

BUY IT?: Your choice.

WE ARE SCIENTISTS — Helter Seltzer THE GOOD: New York-based indie rockers We Are Scientists (core members vocalist/guitarist Keith Murray and bassist/vocalist Chris Cain) come back with their fifth.

THE BAD: WAS don’t make great albums, but they don’t make awful ones either. The boys simply churn out competent works that boast a couple of fantastic tracks each. Helter Seltzer doesn’t alter this tradition.

DROWNERS — On Desire THE GOOD: American-Welsh indie rockers Drowners dodge the sophomore slump.

THE BAD: Nope.

THE NITTY GRITTY: In 2011, vocalist/guitarist Matthew Hitt moved from his native Wales to New York City in order to become a male model but ended up being a musician instead. Stranger things have happened. The group’s 2014 self-titled debut was a plucky mix of post-punk and melodic indie searing yet melodic — an accomplished combinapop; think early Arctic Monkeys smashing into tion of thunderous aesthetics painting delicate formative Muse. compositions. The overall effect is fetching indeed.

Two years later, On Desire is more of the same.

BUY IT?: Yep. THE NITTY GRITTY: Still, this is probably their OK, not the most innovative stuff out there, but the best collection since 2008’s Brain Thrust Mastery. record has enough rock-solid backbeats, massive Murray and Cain give us the usual mix of jittery guitar/keyboard hybrids creating big sounds and Mike Evans tracks built upon stomping rhythms and slicing Mike Evans is a super cool radio memorable hooks to satisfy the most jaded of guy who doesn’t mess around guitar riffs (“In My Head” and “Classic Love”) and listeners.

Tracks such as soaring lead single “Cruel mevans@timesshamrock.com Nothing here is disagreeable, but none of it is all Ways,” the jagged “Conversations with Myself” and that memorable either.

Just then, George looked at me, looked back at my amp, looked at me again, looked back at my amp again, and yelled, ‘Turn it up!’ I yelled back, ‘I love you man!’

Christopher Condell, Wesley’s drummer for nearly 12 years, said Wesley had a way of bringing people together.

“His legacy is unity,” Condell said. “He always respected all musicians. Rock, metal, blues, country, pop, polka and, of course, reggae. We’ve had all types of musicians sit in with us. He did not TribuTe show for laTe musician seT discriminate who you were or what type of music for friday aT river sTreeT Jazz cafe you played. It was all music to him.

RESPECT C MaxiMuM RESPECT: a TRibuTE To GEoRGE WESlEy

George Wesley died on July 19. He was 62. It was a few weeks prior when most people learned that the local music icon was battling cancer, and a benefit show was already being planned for September at the River Street Jazz Café. The hope of those planning the event was that Wesley — who had always been there to help others at such benefits — would be feeling better by then and would be able to attend. But it was not to be.

And many of Wesley’s fellow local musicians, and many of his fans, were devastated.

It was soon decided, however, that the show would go on. Maximum Respect: A Tribute To George Wesley will take place at the River Street Jazz Café on Friday, Sept. 2. All money raised will be donated to Wesley’s family to help offset medical costs incurred during his illness. And, equally important, the event will serve as a celebration of the life and the music of one of NEPA’s most beloved and respected musicians.

Tom Flannery, a close friend of Wesley’s who will perform at the tribute, said the reggae master was simply an irreplaceable figure within the local music community.

“He’s our man in black,” Flannery said. “You know what the world says about Johnny Cash?

Well, NEPA can say the same things about George.

If we had a musical Mount Rushmore in the valley, his might be the only face on it. And the face would be 60-feet long, and the beard would hang down until it dipped into the Susquehanna.”

In addition to his talent, Flannery said it was Wesley’s warm and caring personality for which he’ll always be remembered best.

“People didn’t just say, ‘I knew George,’” Flannery Said. “They’d say, ‘George was a friend of mine.’ That’s two totally different things when you think about it. He died an exceedingly rich man.”

The name of Friday’s tribute, Maximum Respect, comes from a phrase Wesley often used.

When he said it to someone, it was a gesture of thanks, or as a kind compliment.

John Shemo, who will perform at the benefit with Mother Nature’s Sons, agreed.

“George brought reggae music to this area,” Shemo said. “He was also a pioneer, locally, with looping music. George sounded like an orchestra every time he played — looping guitars, bass, drums, horns, marimba, steel drum, etc. He was truly the ‘Small Axe Orchestra.’ Every time he stepped on the stage, he was the ultimate professional. He was also a good soul and a very kind

SCREENS

by Jeff Boam

OPENING THIS WEEK

Morgan Kate Mara, Anya Taylor-Johnson In this R-rated horror flick, a corporate risk-management consultant has to decide and determine whether to terminate an artificial being’s life that was made in a laboratory environment. The Plus: The genre. Horror fans rarely take a vacation.

Whether, spring, fall, winter, or — yes — summer, they often show up to cinemas in spades. Indeed, some thriller franchises have a knack for scaring up boffo box office during the dog days (last month’s The Purge: Anarchy, last week’s Don’t Breathe).

This feature directorial debut of Ridley Scott’s son Luke stars Mara (Fantastic Four), Taylor-Johnson (The Witch), Rose Leslie (HBO’s Game of Thrones), Toby Jones (Fox’s Wayward Pines), Michelle Yeoh (Mechanic: Resurrection), Brian Cox (Pixels), Jennifer Jason Leigh (Hateful Eight) and Paul Giamatti (Straight Outta Compton). The Minus: The odds.

Some thrillers don’t stand a ghost of a chance in the summer (this summer’s Clown).

Don’t Breathe Jane Levy, Stephen Lang HHHH — Blind Man’s Bluff An unrelenting exercise in white-knuckle terror, twist-filled homeinvasion thriller Don’t Breathe proves so tense and terrifying that moviegoers’ nerves literally get shot to hell. And for a horror flick, that’s the highest form of praise indeed. In this R-rated thriller, a group of friends (Levy, et al) break into the house of a wealthy blind man (Lang), thinking they’ll get away with the perfect heist…only things go very wrong. Once these millennial burglars break into his abode, the thrills, nor your pulse, never let up. The story keeps twisting, the characters keep developing, the tension keeps building, and the scares keep coming. Despite a simple set-up and execution, Don’t Breathe is unexpectedly cerebral.

Indeed, the movie smartly flips the home-invasion thriller — itself a sub-genre of horror — on its head, turning the tables on the invaders and the audience by proxy … and then back again. As a voyeur, you’re already hooked by this point because Rodo Sayagues and director Fede Alvarez’s script manages to dredge up a surprising amount of sympathy for the thieves, primarily Levy’s character. Having all worked together on the underrated 2013 remake of Evil Dead, Levy, Sayagues and Alvarez make a killer collective, evincing an understanding and love for the genre that deftly ratchets up the fear factor to a blood-curdling degree.

All involved keep you guessing and uncomfortable, even the location.

A haunting, sprawling and abandoned formerly tony suburb of Detroit provides the scene of the crime where this bloody game of attrition takes place. Sure, some of the plot points skew toward silliness, but moviegoers are already so beyond the edge of their seats by this point that no one really cares.

Hell or High Water Chris Pine, Ben Foster HHHH — Badlands to the Bone A timely and rivetingly told tale that dead-sets its sights directly on a Blood Meridian, Chris Pine’s latest offers a modern western full of desperate measures and Texas-sized twists all told with uncompromising vision. In this R-rated crime drama, a divorced dad (Pine) and his ex-con brother (Foster) resort to a desperate scheme in order to save their family’s farm in West Texas. First, let’s get the bad news out of the way. Some of both Taylor Sheridan’s (Sicario) screenplay and David Mackenzie’s (Young Adam) direction plays into heavy-handedness. In the aftermath of the 2008 Wall Street housing crisis, banks make a particularly villainous enemy, and neither of these players ever lets you forget it. Even after this truth is practically written in blood on the screen at the outset, a supporting player spurts his hatred for such cheats, and a billboard spells out the same. Any audience lining up for a blistering, bloody and honest drama about stripped-to-the-bone men bled dryer than the East Texas plains is intelligent enough to get this notion without a hammer occasionally dropping down on their heads. Regardless, this is just a fly in the ointment of a story that rings true, heartfelt and often funny despite the bullet-ridden black cloud that hangs above the main characters. Seemingly (and smartly) emulating the work of Cormac McCarthy (No Country for Old Men, The Road), Sheridan proves that his stellar work on Sicario was not just a one-off fluke. Brothers Toby and Tanner Howard’s world is bleak, and their morals are comprised, but their violent actions somehow always feel like the right measure.

As realized by A-grade, lived-in performances from Pine and Foster, you root for these men unquestionably. Hell or High Water definitely provides inarguable proof that Pine is capable and bound for greater pastures than just being a leading man in blockbuster franchises (Star Trek, the forthcoming Wonder Woman) … not that there’s anything wrong with that. Jeff Bridges deserves special mention for delivering a turn as a weathered Texas Ranger nipping at retirement that doesn’t entirely feel like a re-tread of his work in True Grit.

/ENTERTAINMENT

Florence Foster Jenkins Meryl Streep, Hugh Grant HHH1/2 — Lady Sings the Boos Foster-ing a decent amount of laughs and emotion, Meryl Streep’s beautifully acted latest manages to carry an enjoyable and endearing heartsong even when the titular character fails to carry a tune. In this PG-13-rated dramedy based on the true story of Wilkes-Barre-born Jenkins, a New York heiress (Streep) finances her dream of becoming an opera singer, despite having a terrible singing voice. Florence Foster Jenkins is essentially a re-telling of The Emperor’s New Clothes based on real events. Well, make that somewhat real events. In an effort to be more crowd-pleasing than fact-based, Nicholas Martin’s screenplay makes for a fluffier bio pic than, say, stranger-than-fiction bio pics such as Ed Wood or The People vs. Larry Flynt. Zeroing in on a feel-good vibe, the dramedy rarely takes chances, but that end product definitely strikes the right chords, largely thanks to the A-grade cast. Perhaps you’ve heard of the woman billed by many as the greatest actress of her generation? Nominated for more Oscars than any thespian in history (19 and counting), Streep took home the prize three times — once for best supporting actress (Kramer Vs. Kramer) and twice for best actress (Sophie’s Choice, The Iron Lady). She’s guaranteed to nab her 20th nod for Florence Foster Jenkins in which she believably sings badly. While some filmgoers might think that it’s easy to warble poorly, they must consider that the actress is belting out “Queen of the Night” from Mozart’s The Magic Flute with operatic bravado that occasionally comes THISclose to nailing it. Meeting her note for emotional note, if you’ll excuse the expression, is Hugh Grant, with a brilliantly nuanced performance of a man who undeniably loves her madly despite having a separate paramour on the side. Under the direction of Stephen Frears (The Queen, Philomena), the film provides a winning mix of drama and comedy in the dramedy equation even when the material veers too much toward the latter pole.

SMALL SCREENS

Homeland — Seasons Four and Five (Showtime and Hulu) Claire Danes, Mandy Patinkin HHHH1/2 — Carrie On Consider yourselves very lucky. You live in a time that many critics consider to be the Golden Age of television. Cable, pay cable and streaming services elevated the game to a ridiculously edifying plateau of quality and entertainment value, embracing more of a foreign (shorter seasons, arcing storytelling, uncompromised vision) than American network (longer seasons, repeats, editorial tinkering) standard that offers viewers an episodic cinematic experience that unfurls over 10 to 12 weeks on average. If The Shield and The Sopranos triggered the avalanche back at the turn of the century, then we’re now finding ourselves in a glacier effect, where so many eminent programs are changing the pop culture landscape that you (and your DVR, by proxy) has to be judicious in deciding what becomes appointment television and what goes on the backburner. It’s also become easy to drop a particular show if it craps the bed because there’s so many prime contenders nipping at its heels. When Homeland launched on Showtime in 2011, it got such gloriously perfect reviews (this reviewer included) that it was bound to fall off of the great wall of television. For this reviewer, it fell victim to such choosiness during the third season because the quality went from rating five to just below five stars. Just consider how ludicrous that sounds. If Homeland were a student, it basically got failed for achieving a B+ instead of an A+. A return to the program betrays the silliness in such rationale. Sure, during the third season, the writers wore out the initial premise a bit (Danes, as a bipolar CIA operative, becomes convinced a prisoner of war played by Damien Lewis has been turned by al-Qaeda and is planning to carry out a terrorist attack on American soil) and really tested the almost untetherable suspensions of our collected disbelief, but the program always proved absolutely gripping and showcased an amazingly palpable chemistry between its leads. Season four, in which Danes’ Carrie escapes her home obligations to run an embattled station in Taliban-filled Islamabad, changed up the format and found a renewed electricity and focus even though it sometimes felt like a more intelligent version of Fox’s 24. Season five, however, finds Homeland back atop the mantle, coming close and sometimes equaling the rarefied heights reached in the show’s inaugural year with a Berlin-set spy thriller that stands testament to the fact that Danes’s tour-de-force performance is an acting masterclass worthy of Emmy adoration every year.

illian llian Hannigan likes to tell people the Cornstock Folk Festival offers the best bands they’ve never heard of.

Hannigan and her husband, Anthony, have spent the last four years building up a festival that draws in visitors from around the world with a lineup boasting bands from just as far. This year’s festival runs from Friday to Sunday, Sept. 2 to 4, at Lazy Brook Park near Tunkhannock.

“It’s three days of great music and unbelievable location, and lots of jamming and super familyfriendly — a great time,” Jillian Hannigan said.

Anthony Hannigan had experience putting together festivals when the couple decided to launch Cornstock. Jillian had been homeschooling, and

IF YOU GO What: Cornstock Folk Festival When: Friday, Sept. 2, starting at 4 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 3 and 4, starting at 11 a.m. Activities run throughout the day.

Where: Lazy Brook Park, 113 Tunkhannock Township Drive, Eaton Twp. Details: Weekend passes are $50 in advance/$60 at gate and include camping; day passes are $25 Friday/$30 Saturday/$20 Sunday (add $5 for camping); electric camping is $30 extra. Visit cornstockfestival.com for more information.

she wanted to do something outside the home.

“We do a lot of traveling for music, and we meet a lot of fantastic bands all over the world,” she said. “And we said, ‘You know what? We should do our own festival.’”

Cornstock has grown since that first try, with more workshops and kids’ activities, and bands come from further away to participate. Last year a group from Italy joined them, and this year one from Florida will make the trip.

“When we first started, it was mostly regional acts, people that we knew,” Jillian said. “And now we’re stating to attract bands.”

When picking a headliner, the festival looks “for someone that plays great music, whether people have heard of them or not,” she said. “We just want a great band playing mostly original music and that’s going to put on a great show.”

Woodstock, New York, roots-rock group Professor Louie and the Crowmatrix takes the headliner’s spot this year. The Grammy-nominated band, which has worked with such famed artists as The Band and Levon Helm, released its latest album, Music from Hurley Mountain, earlier this year.

“They have a lot of accolades as far as the music business. They just put on a fun kind of New Orleans-inspired Americana show,” Jillian said.

Folk music has a wide spectrum, and festival visitors will hear much of it, including Americana

Cornstock Folk Festival Returns

acoustic rock, bluegrass, reggae and more grassroots styles. The lineup also includes Roy Williams & the Human Hands, the Brummy Brothers, Bobtown, Vintage Drive and Launch PAD (featuring Pappy Biondo and Dylan Starsky from Cabinet and Anthony Hannigan of Hickory Project, which also will perform) plus such regional performers as Coal Town Rounders, Bug Tussle, JP Williams Blues Band, the Dishonest Fiddlers, Couple Days, Texas Rose and Take 2.

Jillian looks forward to performing with her own roots and acoustic band, Sassafras, but also, as a Celtic flute player, is particularly excited to hear the music of Celtic trio Poor Man’s Gambit.

“They are some young people, and they are just getting ready to really take off, I think,” she said. “I love bringing in more than just Americana.”

Guests also can expect to hear some jamming not just between the performers but also their fellow festival-goers, who can take along their own instruments. The festival has a special pavilion just for jams, and Hannigan said they want people to participate, because that’s what makes music so special.

“We have tons of workshops this year,” she said. “It’s just jam-packed with all kinds of jams and demonstrations and workshops. We have everything from yodeling to Mandolin Madness.

Lazy Brook Park, an oasis two miles east of Tunkhannock, gives them room not only for the music but also for camping. Tents and RVs are both permitted, with some electric hookups available, and guests then can enjoy jamming around the campfires.

“I would say we get about probably a third of our festival-goers stay the whole weekend (camping),” Jillian said. “We’d love to see it be more than that, because I think it’s the best way to enjoy the festival.”

The festival is BYOB, but Jillian noted that guests should keep in mind the event also is family-friendly. Kids will find games, scavenger hunt, inflatables, crafts and more available throughout the weekend. People can join the yoga sessions or check out what artisans and crafters have for sale.

They even can cool off in the Tunkhannock Creek or take a walk through the park.

And it all closes out with the Cornstock Jubilee, which Jillian described as a sing-along and dancing with cornstalks.

Jillian said they have heard great feedback from people who have come to the festival, with many bringing their families each year.

“The one thing they say is they love the feel of the event,” she said. “It feels like family.”

UP CLOSE & PERSONAL

guys. Music is not only my life, but it’s also who I am, and so there’s always some kind of music influenced into what I do.

Favorite vacation spot?

Anywhere that you get a chance to visit and have a new adventure and see something new.

Next year, my band and I are playing on a country music cruise to the Bahamas, so I’ve very excited to go there.

WITH ALAN K. STOUT

Dani-elle Kleha is a country music singer, songwriter and recording artist. She has recorded two albums and, in 2015, she received the Rising Female Country Artist award at the Josie Music Awards in Nashville. On Sept. 6, she will perform at the Music on the Menu Live Original Music Series inside Breakers at Mohegan Sun Pocono.

Kleha, 20, is a native of Jermyn and attended Lakeland School District, St. Rose Academy and Summit Christian Academy. She graduated from the Commonwealth Charter Academy. She lives in Jermyn.

Meet Dani-elle Kleha …

What was it about country music that first drew you to it?

For as long as I can remember, my parents always had country music playing. What I love to this day about country music is that there’s a story behind it. That’s my No. 1 thing. There’s something for when you’re sad. There’s something for when you’re happy. Whatever you’re going through, country music just seems to have it. And I absolutely love that.

Favorite thing about NEPA? Growing up in a small town and being from NEPA, we all kind of know one another somehow.

That’s one of my favorite things. You’re driving down the street and you wave a hello because you see a friend, you see a family member or you see a neighbor. It’s just the camaraderie.

Any pets?

A dog, a Maltese, Shyla. She comes everywhere with us. She’s the ultimate road dog.

DANI-ELLE KLEHA

Your parents are very supportive of you and your music. In fact, when you won the award in Nashville, they had a billboard put up in your hometown of Jermyn. How did that feel?

What inspires you to write your own songs?

That was a total surprise. I had no idea, whatWho are some of your biggest musical influWhat’s your muse in life? soever, about that. It was funny. My dad said, “You ences?

I think it’s just everyday life in general. It’s need to come with me,” because one of our cars I’m a huge classic country lover, so Patsy Cline funny, because people will ask me, “What’s that was in the garage, and he needed me to go pick it is one of my favorite artists. She put so much emosong about?” or “Who’s that song about?” and up and drive one car back home. So I hopped in tion and feeling into everything that she sang. I’m sometimes, it’s not something that I personally the car with him.

And where the billboard is, there’s also a big lover of ’90s country, such as Faith Hill went through. Sometimes it’s something that I and Martina McBride. And I also like some that are a “V” in the road, and he said he forgot something watched a family member go through or a friend and turned around, and then it was right there in more current, like Lady Antebellum, Hillary Scott go through, or somebody that I don’t even know. front of me. It was like, “Oh my God.” It was a total and Carrie Underwood.

It’s just everyday life and whatever comes to be. surprise. My parents are my No. 1 fans. They are my best friends. They always have bee,n and they You visit Nashville often, correct?

How did it feel to receive last year’s Rising always will be. Ever since I was a 3 year-old and A few times a year. Nashville is like a whole Female Country Artist award in Nashville? sang in church, I said I wanted to be a profesother world. You talk to some people that aren’t It was fantastic. The coolest part is that we sional singer. And I stuck with that. I’ve never said really into country music, and they say, “Why were nominated for three awards, and they were all would I want to go there?” But it’s truly not only the I wanted to do anything else. And ever since that announced, and we didn’t get any of them. And we day, they’ve kind of hopped along for the ride and country music capital of the world, it’s the music didn’t even know that the Rising Female Country capital of the world. You can walk down the street, have supported me since day one.

Artist award existed. It was voted on by industry and you have country, you have blues, you have professionals and was totally, totally out of the blue.

When you’re not working on your music, what rock — you hear everything. It’s really incredible.

And the people are so welcoming. My parents and do you enjoy doing in your free time?

So you thought you didn’t win anything and I enjoy spending time with my family and I have been going there since I was 12. It’s really you ended up with one of the biggest awards of friends. I love to read. I love to shop. I love to become like our second home. the night? hang out with my band. They’re a bunch of great Exactly. It was pretty cool. We were invited to play at the awards this year, and we’re actually nominated for seven awards this year, so we’re so very excited.

Biggest pet peeve?

Non-supportive people and jealousy. I can’t stand that. I’ve always been raised to be happy for everybody and to support everybody, no matter what their story is or what their path is.

Is there anything about you that might surprise even your friends?

A little quirk about me is that I always like to wear something red. It kind of brings good luck.

I’m Italian, and it’s said that red blocks out evil, so I always have some red on. I also love ’80s rock.

Who, if anyone, has had the greatest influence on your life? Is there anyone, or anything, that has helped shape you and define you as a person?

My parents have been a big part of everything that I am today. They both own their own businesses. They’ve shown me how to be a hard worker and how to be a successful person and a kind-hearted person. And my grandparents as well. They’ve all now passed, but they’re definitely my guardian angels, and they were a big help in making me the person that I am today.

Psychologically souND sTraighT Talk From syNDicaTeD columNisT amy alkoN

Duck Face The NaTioN I’m a woman in my late 20s. Guys don’t have car crashes looking at me, but I am pretty and have a nice boyfriend. I have three drop-dead gorgeous girlfriends who are perpetually single, but not by choice. I realized that they all do two things: complain that things never work out with a guy and constantly post stunning selfies on Facebook. One takes a daily pic in her car, showing how hot she looks. When I mentioned this to my boyfriend, he said guys want a hot girlfriend, but they don’t want one who does that. Please explain.

— Wondering

Sure, getting other people to like you starts with liking yourself — just not to the point where you’re dozing off in front of the mirror.

Selfie posting, not surprisingly, has been associated with narcissism — being a self-absorbed, self-important user with a lack of empathy and a sucking need for admiration. But consider that there are nuances to what sort of person posts selfies and why. There are those who post selfies in keeping with their interests — like “here’s today’s outfit!” (because they’re into fashion) or “here I am about to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel” (because they are into adven-

And then there’s the person — like but we don’t call or text regularly or discuss whether these women you mention — who simply posts endwe’re seeing anybody else.

Barry and FWB things first. My question is: How do I do that? his colleagues found that posting a lot of “physical What does a woman who isn’t a girlfriend but has appearance selfies” is associated with a subtype of been having semi-regular sex with a man want to hear narcissism, “vulnerable narcissism.” Vulnerable narcisthat will not hurt her? sism involves self-worth that’s “highly contingent” on — Concerned what others think, “hypervigilance” about rejection, and a tendency to manufacture a facade to protect The really terrible breakups are those where the against rejection.

Chances are, guys who want more than a there are three different levels of friends-with-benefits hookup or arm candy see a slew of “Worship me!” relationships: “true friends,” “network opportunities” selfies as a generic sign of narcissism — and a big and “just sex.” “True friends” mean something to each flashing danger sign telling them to look elsewhere.

have sex. “Network opportunists” are a step down from true friends. They’re people in the same social group (or “network”) who aren’t really friends but are friendly enough to go home together if neither meets anybody better at the bar. And lowest on the FWB ladder is what you have — the “just sex” thing. The just sex-ers don’t hate each other or anything, but, as the researchers explain, for them, the “friend” in FWB “is a misnomer.” They’re in each other’s life for one reason: to be sexual grout.

It bodes well for the woman you want that you care so much about being kind to the women you don’t. But consider that you probably have deeper and more frequent conversations with the guy who makes your burrito at Chipotle. So, for these women, losing their “just sex” man will be inconvenient and annoying but probably not as heartbreaking as needing to find a new plumber. Just politely inform them that you have to end it because you’ve started seeing somebody (and not just for 45 minutes at 1 a.m.).

Psycho sudoku kaidoku

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).
