5 great things to do this week

#1

Strip it Down

#2

Art for All

Chris Cornell goes unplugged for an up-close and personal acoustic tour this fall. The multi-Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter performs at the F.M. Kirby Center on Saturday, Oct. 17, at 8 p.m. Cornell will play songs that span his entire career, as well as material from his recently released fifth solo album, Higher Truth, produced by Brendan O’Brien.

The iconic rocker achieved multi-platinum success selling more than 30 million records worldwide with three legendary bands — Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog and Audioslave. Known for his role as one of the architects of the ’90s grunge movement, Cornell remains one of the most recognizable rock voices of all time.

The Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation, an organization that supports children facing tough challenges, including homelessness, poverty, abuse and neglect, will receive $1 from every ticket sold.

Tickets can be purchased at the Kirby Center box office, by calling 570-826-1100 or online at Kirbycenter.org. — cathleen lathrop

The Northeastern Biennial Twenty Fifteen, the largest recurring art exhibit held in Lackawanna County, is open to the public from Oct. 17 to Nov. 12. The public opening on Oct. 17 is a culinary, musical and visual art experience.

The event opens at four venues. Starting at 2 p.m. at The Hope Horn Gallery at the University of Scranton, it moves onto Afa Gallery and ArtWorks from 3 to 4:30 p.m. and concludes with a presentation of awards at Marywood University’s Mahady Gallery at 5:30 p.m.

The exhibition is juried by art dealer Hal Bromm, who opened Tribeca’s first contemporary art gallery in 1976, where “new talent” shows introduced Keith Haring and David Salle to collectors before they became well-known.

The Northeastern Biennial Twenty Fifteen is the eighth juried exhibition in an ongoing series of biennials presented in Lackawanna County since 2000. The event provides a look at contemporary art in Scranton and surrounding communities.

For more information, contact Dr. Darlene Miller-Lanning at 570-941-4214. — cl

SOUNDS

SEAPONY — A Vision THE GOOD: Seattle indie pop outfit Seapony comes back with a self-released third.

THE BAD: The record has a fantastic ethereal vibe, but not every individual track is memorable.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Fronted by Jen Weidl, the girl with the softly strumming electric guitar and wispy voice, Seapony takes us through a delicate mix of twee, shoegaze and jangle pop — think modern Frankie Rose or Memoryhouse holding hands with vintage Ivy. Simple yet fetching cuts like “Bad Dreams” and “Couldn’t Be” stroll along ever-so-tenderly over shimmering six strings and steady backbeats. The occasional keyboard flourish adds a subtle yet welcome splash of color. Sparkling acoustic-leaning bits such as “Hollow Moon” or “Go Nowhere” sprinkle on a little more charm and whisk us away to even dreamier destinations.

A Vision ends up as a record that works equally well when commanding your attention or blending into the background. Seapony may not need to be your absolute focus, but they’re more than good enough to be just that.

BUY IT?: Sure.

damn natural. Burhenn sounds both confident and comfortable in these surroundings. The dazzling arrangements are a near perfect fit.

Tracks like “All My Heart” and “Semantics” are pop gems coated with just the right amount of melancholy. And when the beats get a little stronger, as they do on “Shake Your Head Yes” and “Wildfire,” the end results are even more tantalizing.

BUY IT?: Yes.

SHANNON AND THE CLAMS — Gone by the Dawn THE GOOD: California rock ‘n’ roll throwbacks Shannon and the Clams return with their gritty, grimy fourth.

THE BAD: Not “bad,” but realize a Shannon album is all about the overall vibe, as opposed to the individual songs.

THE NITTY GRITTY: And as always, that vibe is pre-Beatle 1960s teen angst and suburban sleaze — sort of like stepping into film director John Waters’ Female Trouble or Cry Baby with the volume on your transistor radio turned all the way up to 10.

Bassist/front woman Shannon Shaw sings of boys, cars, heartbreak and even a spooky murky bog.

The backdrops are all rag-tag renditions of classic THE MYNABIRDS — Lovers Know surf, garage rock, girl group pop and even twangin’ THE GOOD: Indie pop band Mynabirds gives us rockabilly. It’s as if you went dumpster diving and an enticing third. pulled out a tattered shoebox filled with old West THE BAD: A couple of songs get lost in the Coast 45s that all “bubbled under” the Hot 100 way shuffle. Overall though, Lovers Know is an acback in 1962 — not quite clean or accomplished complished set built upon strong melodies and enough for the Top 10, but oh-so good and raw. tight grooves.

BUY IT?: Yep.

“Its sucks because there were so many good that tradition covered 13 times over. Keller hosts submissions.” Keller said about the challenges the inaugural Northeastern Pennsylvania Horror Film Festival this Friday, Oct. 16, at the River Street faced when judging the films he received.

films range between two and 20 minutes, the exception is the locally produced film Agoni by Ryan Vincent Logsdon which runs 55 minutes. Agoni recently premiered at “Slaughter in Syracuse.”

Keller will also showcase a short film he produced called My Zombie Flick.

“It’s a satire about filmmakers making a zombie movie and how zombies are overused in the horror genre,” Keller explained.

My Zombie Flick was previously screened in Philadelphia, but this event will be the local premiere.

With hope that this festival will have a good turnout, Keller is already planning on having another one in the spring. The NEPA Horror Film Festival is free and Keller’s push for creating such a good time for the community is simply to provide, “something that is fun to do for the Halloween season.”

“I want people to have a good time, relax and enjoy watching independent films.”

While we had some minor issues regarding line back-up and some actors who were out of place and a few who broke character, overall these issues are minor compared to the quality and value associated with this attraction. As you move from attraction to attraction, take in the incredible midway, which features a multitude of food and entertainment options. Also watch out for some incredible actors who roam the midway, from psychotic clowns to Michael Myers. The midway itself can be considered an additional attraction.

The first attraction visited, “Den of Darkness,” is a walk-through haunted house attraction which starts off with an effective séance scene which builds anticipation and tension. The “Den of Darkness” is the most physically interactive of the two houses at Field of Screams as guests must navigate tight corridors and crawl at times to escape the attraction.

“Frightmare Asylum” is the second indoor walk-through haunted attraction visited at Field

of Screams. The scenes and props found in the Frightmare Asylum are disturbing, lifelike and augment the talented work of actors who do a shockingly good job at portraying “disturbed” individuals.

The patients begging for mercy and lunatic doctors who reside in this attraction work tirelessly to interact with each guest.

“Nocturnal Wasteland” is an outdoor trail which received extensive upgrades for the 2015 season.

“Nocturnal Wasteland” is a fall-out themed attraction, in which inhabitants have “survived” some post-apocalyptic accident. “Nocturnal Wasteland” was our favorite walk-through attraction at Field of Screams as the trail features incredible set designs, from abandoned structures, to large-scale pyrotechnic/electrical displays. Guests must escape the wasteland through sewer tunnels, as mutants, hillbillies and other horrifying creatures relentless with their attacks. The trail is highly interactive, as we were jolted and moved by unstable walkways, and bridges which added additional realism to the surreal experience.

The “Haunted Hayride” at Field of Screams was our favorite of the four attractions this year because the actors were allowed to interact with guests on a whole new level. The space on the wagon allowed for several actors to board and allowed for them to entertain and interact with each guest in a personal manner. The large-scale set designs and animatronics found throughout the hayride are some of the most impressive in the industry. We enjoyed our trip through an evil carnival and our visit at the slaughterhouse.

Field of Screams continues to improve each year and, despite minor issues, is one of the best mainstream haunted attractions you can visit for the 2015 season. Every attraction is built and designed to be of the highest quality. The actors do an incredible job of interacting with the large number of guests who attend this attraction.

MOVIE TIMES: THE570.COM

by Jeff Boam

OPENING THIS WEEK

Bridge of Spies Tom Hanks, Austin Stowell In this PG-13-rated thriller based on true events, an American lawyer (Hanks) gets recruited by the CIA during the Cold War to help rescue a pilot (Stowell) detained in the Soviet Union. The Plus: The legends. His popcorn blockbusters notwithstanding (Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Jurassic Park), Steven Spielberg’s CV reads like an awards primer: 1984’s The Color Purple, 1987’s Empire of the Sun, 1997’s Schindler’s List, 1998’s Saving Private Ryan, 2005’s Munich, 2011’s War Horse and 2012’s Lincoln. Now, Spielberg reunites with two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks (Philadelphia, Forrest Gump) for the fourth time for Bridge of Spies. Just to cinch the Oscar gold, he’s also cast Stowell (Whiplash), Alan Alda (The Aviator), Amy Ryan (Escape Plan), Eve Hewson (Cinemax’s The Knick) and Tony Award winner Mark Rylance (BBC’s Wolf Hall). The Minus: The odds. Even when they bank boffo box office, Spielberg’s works are not immune to the wrath of critics (1979’s 1941, 1989’s Always, 1991’s Hook, 1992’s Amistad), which could affect Bridge’s Oscar chances.

Crimson Peak Mia Wasikowska, Tom Hiddleston In this R-rated horror flick, an aspiring author (Wasikowska) gets torn between love for her childhood friend (Charlie Hunnan) and the temptation of a mysterious outsider (Hiddleston) after being swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds ... and remembers. The Plus: The players. Some spooky thrillers have a knack for becoming blockbuster hits. Currently in cinemas, M. Night Shyamalan’s The Visit is on its way to becoming the director’s first hit horror flick since 2004’s The Village. Beyond a creepy trailer, Crimson Peak has even more going for it so far as talent. Coming from the mind of visionary director del Toro (Cronos, Mimic, Blade II, Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth), the cast includes Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland), Hiddleston (Thor: The Dark World), Chastain (Interstellar) and Charlie Hunnam (FX’s Sons of Anarchy). The Minus: The odds. Since being nominated for an Oscar for 2006’s Pan’s Labyrinth, del Toro’s output has flirted more with blockbuster than arty cinema. This is not necessarily a negative on the face of things, but his forthcoming slate of sequels (Pacific Rim: Maelstrom, Hellboy 3) speaks less of quality and more of bankability. Where does this leave non-sequel Crimson Peak?

Pan Hugh Jackman, Levi Miller HH — Think Crappy Thoughts Flying too fast through a not-too-unfamiliar backstory, this Peter Pan prequel works hard at Finding Neverland but proves more of a Lilly than a Tiger when it comes to storytelling and vision. In this PG-rated fantasy-adventure, an orphan (Miller) gets spirited away to Neverland, where he finds danger at the hands of Blackbeard (Jackman) and ultimately discovers his destiny — to become the hero who will forever be known as Peter Pan. The production definitely boasts some sprinkling of fairy dust, however, even if it often doesn’t give a Tinkerbell’s damn as to outand-out originality. The flick frolics, furrows and foretells in most of the right places with much bounce in its step. It’s just that Pan brings to mind better adaptations other than those that spring from the works of J.M. Barrie, which spells trouble for this non-franchise starter. The London Blitz backdrops the opening, mirroring C.S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The aerial ship battles resemble similar dust-ups in Neil Gaiman’s Stardust.

The early orphanage scenes definitely seem influenced by Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist. Still, so far as influences go, all involved could’ve chosen worse, even if the end product makes audiences pine more for The Secret Garden than for more Peter Pan. Sadly, aping other movies brings a level of formula to the proceedings which is Pan’s ultimate undoing. As with his CV on the whole (Atonement, Hanna), director Joe Wright shows exquisite attention to the craftsmanship of every scene and sequence ... which makes his overuse of CGI all the more baffling. His usually vervy panache often gets kiboshed when pixels — rather than pixies — enter the frame. With Hugo, even working with 3D like Wright, Martin Scorsese used organic effects whenever possible, resulting in a modern family gem. Of course, his film also didn’t work in numerous and — ultimately muddying — plot strands, including dyslexia, ether addiction, a Hook-Tigerlilly romance and evil nuns (atheist Philip Pullman’s The Golden Compass if you’re still keeping score) either, but that’s screenwriter Jason Fuch’s cross to bear. Still, he and Wright dream up enough clever moments amidst the predictable beats, mostly noticeably in their casting decisions. Hugh Jackman relishes the role of Blackbeard, as will moviegoers because it’s the brightest light in this occasional fog … only the light flickers too infrequently as he’s absent for most of the movie. A prequel precludes a follow up, but such a whim involved believing in far more than fairies.

The Moosic Youth Center was alive with huge hits and screaming fans Saturday, Oct. 10, for Grand Slam Wrestling’s (GSW) Zombie Lucha event. With heavyweight and tag-team titles on the line, GSW thrilled the audience for more than three hours, leaving fans smiling even after an alarming last-minute upset.

Moosic-based GSW has seen its audience grow as its family-friendly events continue to appeal to wrestling fans of all ages.

“We were very happy with the crowd Saturday night,” said GSW co-owner Brad Czankner. “It’s been getting progressively bigger and this one was no different. It’s good to see a lot of kids in the crowd, which means the parents are enjoying it too and keep coming back.”

After a Halloween costume contest for children in the audience, the ring started shaking with the opening match featuring fan-favorite AJ Evers against The Cash Masters’ Clay Drasher. Drasher reveled in the boos and taunted the crowd, but ultimately fell to a brutal takedown by Evers. After the match, Evers grabbed the microphone to announce his new campaign, “Make Wrestling Great Again.”

“When AJ puts his time into something like that, he can really accomplish things and get the fans to get behind it,” said Czankner. “He sold out of all his T-shirts on Saturday. He wants to make wrestling great again, and that’s what we’re doing here at GSW as well. For so long this area was devoid of anything good related to wrestling. We’re trying to turn it around, and every show we’re getting more and more fans, and new fans.”

Among several other stunning matches, the GSW Championship Match featuring returning champion Stevie Shields against British Wolf was a highlight for the audience.

“It’s a representation of all the hard work I’ve put in,” said Shields. “All the training, the pain, the sacrifice. To be the champion means I am the top dog. I have to be the best I can and live up to the expectations of the fans and the other wrestlers. It puts a lot of pressure on the guy holding that belt.

As the champion, I represent the company. The integrity of GSW and the heavyweight title rests on my performance and my actions. Personally, I love that challenge and that pressure.”

Another fan favorite, Jay Freddie, returned to GSW after wrestling in Japan to a huge response from the crowd with a win by submission over Isys Ephex.

With the night drawing to a close, mayhem was on the menu with a four-way tag-team title match. One by one, teams were gruelingly eliminated until The Impeccables — Kit Cassidy and Keita Murray — ultimately remained the last men standing.

Much to the crowd’s surprise, however, Clay Drasher leapt into the ring and smashed the GSW Aggro Cup over Cassidy’s head to challenge The Impeccables with Cash Masters’ teammate Shawn Andrews.

“The tagteam match was ridiculous, it just goes to show you never know what’s going to happen with GSW,” said Czankner. “Clay had exhausted his title shots earlier in the season. Every time he faced Stevie Shields he could never get the job done, and I guess he felt that teaming up with his Cash Master teammate and going after a very beat-down Impeccables was the way to go about getting that title belt around his waist. You take what you can get, and he took on a team who had just faced three other teams just then. Kit Cassidy has a bum knee right now, and you smash a trophy over a guy’s head and that’s not going to help a guy much either.”

The GSW season winds down with two more shows. The Turkey Bowl takes place Nov. 14. Fans are asked to bring canned food donations to benefit Feed A Friend. GSW’s final event in December will benefit Toys for Tots. Czankner said he hopes fans can top last year’s donations while enjoying a highquality wrestling show.

“We’re happy with the fans we have, but we’re also happy to see new faces and new kids, new adults who enjoy the product,” he said. “If you look back even a year or two ago, the production quality was lower, the crowds were smaller, even the in-the-ring stuff wasn’t as hard-hitting as it is today. That’s all turning around now. The crowds are here, we’re showing we can put on a great show with a great hard-hitting product that has high-flying, fast-paced action. It goes both ways, our guys are giving it all for the fans and the fans are giving back by bringing friends or kids or colleagues from work to see this great show we’re doing.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Here’s actor Bill Murray’s advice about relationships: “If you have someone that you think is The One, don’t just say, ‘OK, let’s pick a date.

Let’s get married.’

Take that person and travel around the world. Buy a plane ticket for the two of you to go to places that are hard to go to and hard to get out of. And if, when you come back, you’re still in love with that person, get married at the airport.” In the coming weeks, Aries, I suggest you make comparable moves to test and deepen your own closest alliances. See what it’s like to get more seriously and deliriously intimate.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): We humans have put buttons on clothing for seven millennia. But for a long time these small knobs and disks were purely ornamental — meant to add beauty but not serve any other function. That changed in the 13th century, when our ancestors finally got around to inventing buttonholes. Buttons could then serve an additional purpose, providing a convenient way to fasten garments. I foresee the possibility of a comparable evolution in your personal life, Cancerian. You have an opening to dream up further uses for elements that have previously been one-dimensional. Brainstorm about how you might expand the value of familiar things.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Many astronomers believe that our universe began with the Big Bang.

An inconceivably condensed speck of matter exploded, eventually expanding into thousands of billions of stars. It must have been a noisy event, right? Actually, no. Astronomers estimate that the roar of the primal eruption was just 120 decibels — less than the volume of a live rock concert. I suspect that you are also on the verge of your own personal Big Bang, Libra. It, too, will be relatively quiet for the amount of energy it unleashes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): For now, you are excused from further work on the impossible tasks that have been grinding you down. You may take a break from the unsolvable riddles and cease your exhaustive efforts. And if you would also like to distance yourself from the farcical jokes the universe has been playing, go right ahead. To help enforce this transition, I hereby authorize you to enjoy a time of feasting and frolicking, which will serve as an antidote to your baffling trials. And I hereby declare that you have been as successful at weathering these trials as you could possibly be, even if the concrete proof of that is not yet entirely visible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Canadian author Margaret Atwood has finished a new manuscript. It’s called Scribbler Moon. But it won’t be published as a book until the year 2114. Until then, it will be kept secret, along with the texts of many other writers who are creating work for a “Future Library.” The project’s director is conceptual artist Katie Paterson, who sees it as a response to George Orwell’s question, “How could you communicate with the future?” With this as your inspiration, Capricorn, try this exercise: Compose five messages you would you like to deliver to the person you will be in 2025.

UP CLOSE & PERSONAL

with ALAN K. StOUt Dawn Pilosi is an occupational therapist. She is also an avid vegan and has done professional modeling. Pilosi, 40, is a graduate of Old Forge High School and Penn State University, where she received an associate degree in occupational therapy. She has a daughter, Trinity, 12. She lives in Duryea. Meet Dawn Pilosi ...

What first made you want to become an occupational therapist?

I knew I wanted to do something in the medical field. And when I read into what the profession was, I learned it was basically to help people with their everyday life. That’s what occupational therapy is. It’s helping people with the skills of everyday life and the activities of everyday life. It focuses on functional tasks, such as getting yourself dressed, or being safe enough to make a meal and having everything accessible to you. I also work with not just with psychical disabilities, but also mental-health disabilities, so I help people maintain the attention skills that are necessary and to have the safety awareness, in order to run and manage their daily life. I also like the aspect that I’m able to train people with strength and endurance. It’s a helping profession.

What do you enjoy about it?

I’m big into inspiring people and motivating people. And I also like the give-back. Inspiring and motivating other people also inspires me and motivates me to do the hardest things in my life. I look at these people who are challenged in some way and I think, “If they can do it, I can do it , too.”

You were recently in the news for being a finalist in the “PETA Sexiest Vegan Next Door Contest,” which was a national competition.

How’d that come about? And how did it feel?

I was chosen by PETA as one of the Top 10 finalists, based on my modeling pictures. It got lots of media attention. I was in the newspapers, on the radio and on TV. It was amazing, considering I was just turning 40 years old at the time. It happened simultaneously. But it’s not really where I find my value in myself. I’m find it more in my vegan healthy eating and fitness, which kind of defines who I am on a daily basis. So for me, to have that

/CULTURE

show through was nice. That’s why I still have my youth. The reason I still look youthful is because of my diet and my fitness.

What kind of modeling have you done?

Haven’t you been on some local billboards?

I’ve done print ads, billboards, commercials and spokesmodeling. I didn’t start until I was 32 and I was working with 22-year-olds. I was asked to do it. I never asked.

Your nickname is “Vegchik.” How did you become such a staunch vegetarian?

It all started for the love of animals. At the time, I had a dog, my beloved dog Keesha and I when she was lying down, I noticed her leg was positioned the same way a chicken leg was positioned when it was on my plate. From that moment on, I knew it wasn’t right to eat animals. Because of my love of animals, I started to go to all of these national conferences and learn about animal rights and how to become a vegetarian. I became vegan and I learned how harmful it was to your body to consume animal products. Within the first year, my cholesterol dropped 80 points, so I knew I was doing something right. And that led to my starting to work out and I quit smoking. And that was all within one year and it all stemmed from the love of animals. That was 20 years ago.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

I go to the gym every day. Rarely do I ever miss. And I do fun activities with my daughter. I like to do anything that’s a challenge, so I’ve done things like whitewater rafting and mountain climbing. And one of my passions is music. I like to see live bands. And I love to dance, though I can only dance in stilettos.

Who are some of your musical favorites?

My top three are Eminem, Metallica and Prince.

And I met one of them — Prince.

Where? When he played Wilkes-Barre about 10 years ago?

Yes. And they called me up on stage. I was up on stage with him for four songs. It was the most fantastic night of my life. I also went to the after-party.

Do you follow sports?

The Steelers and the Phillies. I used to follow the Rangers.

Favorite city?

New York. There are fantastic vegan restaurants all over. And I love the dancing.

Favorite vacation spot?

Anywhere where there’s a beach.

Favorite author?

I have two: Stephen King and Eckhart Tolle.

Biggest pet peeve?

Followers.

Is there anything about you that might surFavorite color? prise even your friends?

I don’t know if you’d call it intuition or premonition, but it’s very strong. And All-time favorite movie? it’s been there since when I was a little girl.

Memento. It starts with the last scene first.

You have to watch it a couple of times. It has a cult following. I also love Vanilla Sky. All-time favorite TV show?

Friends and Seinfeld.

Favorite quote or catchphrase?

“Always be true to yourself. After all, God only made one of you.”

Tell us a little about the new “Vegchik” project you’re developing.

Over the years, I’ve been getting a lot of questions asked of me as to how to eat healthy and stay fit, so I figure it’s come to the time when I should start a vegan consulting business. The big hang up with everyone, when trying to convert everything

over to vegan, is basically shopping. And I’ve done it in the past. I’ve taken people on one shopping trip and they’ve become vegan. And it’s as easy as teaching them how to read labels and how to convert recipes over, very easily.

Most defining personal moment?

I never felt right eating animals. I was always an animal lover. So for me, the most defining moment in my life was when I looked down at my dog’s leg and I looked at that chicken leg and I made the equation that it was no different. That chicken felt pain. If you killed a dog, it would feel the same pain and I didn’t want to inflict pain on anything anymore. I wanted to be compassionate to all beings.

It’s the heart of who I am today.

In other words, big pillowy lips are basically a message from nature’s ad agency: “Wanna have descendants? Pick me — not some thin-lipped Lizzie.”

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 wellknown 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!

“Up With People!” — no, not the halftime show group.
