to life.Page 2

Wild Mountain Fantasy Festival and Time Travelers Marketplace will be open again Saturday and Sunday at Venango County Fairgrounds.

The Wild Mountain Fantasy Festival provides entertainment for all ages. One prominent feature is a children’s stage show featuring local youths as various characters.

The Fabulous Frivolous Fairies will appear three times daily on the Legends Theatre stage. They will tell jokes, sing, dance and interact with the audience.

Morta the Fairy is played by Rowan Glenn of Polk. Glenn has been perform-ing since she was five years old. She has attended Camp-a-Doodle summer art camp for seven years, performing in the plays produced there. She has also par-

ticipated in Meadville Youth Theater, appearing in the starring role of James in “James and the Giant Peach.”

McKenna Michael of Cranberry plays Malicious the Fairy. Michael has been per-forming since she was two years old. In fact, her first role was that of a fairy. She has participated in local groups like Camp-a-Doodle summer art camp, Venango Youth Choir, ARCA’s Madrigal Dinner production, and other events. Michael has been a dancer since 2012 and currently takes part in dance competitions.

The third of the three, Muffin the Fairy, is played by AnnaBelle Lee of Seneca. Lee is a former student of Camp-a-Doodle summer arts camp and now serves as a counselor. She has been danc-ing for six years and has been competing in dance for the last three. She is also a part of a jazz and marching band at her school.

Other local youths performing in the festival community theater group are Ossian Glenn of Polk, Corey and Zachary Sprohar of Oil City, Reagan Lashinsky of Oil City and Jacob Exley of Rockland.

“We are so proud of the work the kids are doing in our festival. They are work-ing hard to learn what it takes to perform at an environmental theater event,” said Janene Michael, cast director.

Wild Mountain Fantasy Festival will feature three stages with ongoing enter-tainment throughout each of the festival days. Visitors can expect to see comedy, music, sword fighting, musical comedy, jousting, children’s shows, a live mer-maid and a free demonstration of virtual reality. Characters will roam the site interacting with the guests to create the feeling of traveling through time. The festival is designed to be a full day of fun for the family.

The gates will open at 10 a.m. and close at 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

The cost of tickets is $17 for adults, $12 for children ages 12 and under, and free for children under 5 years of age.

Attendees who wear a costume receive

a $5 discount on the cost of admission. People who desire further information

Clarion commissioners address lightning, budget transfers

CLARION — Some say lightning doesn’t strike the same place twice, but the Clarion County commissioners aren’t counting on it.

After a lightning strike took out thou-sands of dollars of electrical equipment at the county courthouse in June, the com-missioners are taking action to ensure planned renovations to the courthouse and the accompanying annex project will be protected from lightning strikes.

Commissioners Wayne Brosius, Butch Campbell and Greg Faller approved en-tering into an agreement with Ace Light-ning Protection Inc. of Pittsburgh for consultation services during the court-house renovation and annex project at a cost that is expected to be $2,800 but which is specified not to exceed $4,000.

Faller said this is the same company that installed lightning protection equip-ment when the courthouse was renovated several years ago.

“They will essentially come in and make sure we have continued protec-tion,” Faller said.

Campbell said the company will do a comprehensive assessment and needs analysis regarding lightning protection.

“They will make sure our facilities are absolutely protected against lightning strikes,” Campbell said.

The damage caused by the June storm is estimated at upwards of $25,000, something the commissioners said they don’t want to see happen again.

“As everyone knows, we have had a history of lightning strikes in Clarion County and at the courthouse, and it can become quite costly,” Campbell said.

The company will not be installing any equipment at this time.

“They will just come in to say what our needs will be,” Campbell said, add-ing, “We want to make sure our facility is as safe as possible.”

Budget questionsQuestions arose over budget transfers

approved within several departments in which funds were taken from “retirement” to other areas. Five of the 23 budget trans-fers approved by the commissioners were from “retirement” to other budget areas.

Those five transfers were for a total of $25,500, or about 68 percent of the total of $37,204 for all 23 approved budget transfers.

Campbell said these transfers do not mean the funds are coming from the county employees’ retirement fund.

“This is not a reflection on that account, but rather a budget line item,” Campbell said.

The budget is essentially a best guess of what each line item will need. Since it is made prior to the beginning of the year, it is regularly adjusted as the year goes on, Campbell said.

Brosius noted the county contributes its own portion to the balance of its em-ployee retirement portfolio.

Campbell explained the line item for “retirement” is essentially over-budgeted for county contributions within those departments.

“The salaries listed in the budget wereeffectively over-budgeted, and as a re-sult, so were the retirement contributionsfrom the county,” Campbell said.

This means when other areas in thebudget for each department becomestrained, the county can make transfersfrom the line item for “retirement.”

“This will be happening more andmore as the year goes on,” Campbellsaid. “We expect to see many more trans-fers from ‘retirement’ to other areas.”

In other business, the commissioners: Approved a request by the Clarion

Chamber of Business and Industry to useVeterans Memorial Park and gazebo fora Nov. 29 Christmas parade and party.

Approved a proclamation declaring November as Adoption Awareness Monthin Clarion County.

Approved two new vehicle leases withClarion Ford for Children and Youth Servicesthrough the Ford Municipal Lease Program.

Clarion County Children and Youth Ser-vices will lease a 2015 Ford Taurus withfront wheel drive and a 2015 Ford Focuswith annual lease installments of $11,292and $537 in fees for each vehicle.

CYS Director Kay Rupert said thelease agreement contains unlimited mile-age and free annual inspections.

Approved a contract renewal forCYS with George Junior Republic ofPennsylvania for residential placementfrom Oct. 1 through June 30, 2015.

The cost will be $89 to $353 per day, witha county match of 10 to 40 percent depend-ing upon the nature of the services provided.

‘Condemnation of Memory’Clarion University Department of

Visual and Performing Arts presents a new exhibition by artist Steven Labadessa, titled “Condemnation of Memory.” The exhibition will run through Dec. 6 in the University Art Gallery in Carlson Library.

“The work is more a reflection of the general anxiety of our fleeting exis-tence,” Labadessa said. “The exhibit explores within the confines of self-por-traiture the ‘poetics of observation’ that typically run afoul of contemporary notions of beauty.”

Invoking the ancient Roman punish-ment of “damnatio memoriae,” which entailed being erased from records and

history, the exhibit is “an aesthetic of imperfection alluding to the underlying nature of matter and memory. Everything is subject to age, wear and decay, which leads to the title of the exhibition,” Labadessa said.

Admission is free and open to the public. The gallery hours are noon to 5 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, noon to 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays, and 1 to 4 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.

Graffiti Gallery exhibitThe Graffiti Gallery in the National

Transit Building Annex is continuing to host its latest exhibit, which is titled “Art Chairs and Dolls.”

“Dolls have been a precious item for centuries,” said show curator Swan Daashur. “Items to play with, to collect, to display, and to pass to the next genera-tion. We have assembled a group of art-ists to express their own ideas of imagi-nary dolls. Likewise, chairs have through-out history been imagined and crafted by people all over the world, so we will be displaying artistic expressions of unused chairs that have been recycled into dis-plays for the home.”

The show will be open from noon to 6 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays through Nov. 2. For more information people may contact the show curator, Swan Daashur, at 678-8860.

The Golden Age of BroadwayAllegheny RiverStone Center for the

Arts will present Aria412 on Sunday, Oct. 27 at 2 p.m. in Lincoln Hall, for a “Sentimental Journey to ‘The Golden Age of Broadway.’” The music of Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Irving Berlin and other favorites will be sung by founders Desirée Soteres and Kelly Lynch, supported by Kara Cornell, Erich Lascek and Samuel Viggiano, with Amy Kapp on the Steinway.

This playful revue traces the ebb and flow of love throughout life’s journey with songs such as “Love is sweeping the country,” “You’re the Top,” “Some

Enchanted Evening,” “Let’s Face the Music and Dance,” “Night and Day” and “Everything’s Coming up Roses.”

Tickets for the Sentimental Journey are priced at $20 for adults and $5 for students. People may buy tickets online at www.alleghenyriverstone.org, reserve them by calling (724) 659-3153, or pay by cash or check at the door.

Aria412 began producing monthly cabaret opera and musical theatre shows in April 2017 at Hotel Indigo and now performs in a growing list of venues.

Each Aria412 concert is designed to attract a mix of new audiences in addition to lovers of opera and the performing arts by performing in a relaxed setting.

‘Super Mad’ author talksAlison Dagnes will discuss her book,

“Super Mad at Everything All the Time,” at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Clarion University’s Hart Chapel.

The book explores the polarization of American politics through the collapse of the space between politics and culture, as bolstered by omnipresent media. It seeks to explain the perfect storm of money, technology and partisanship that has created two entirely separate news spheres: a small, enclosed circle for the right wing and a sprawling expanse for everyone else.

Dagnes is professor of political sci-ence at Shippensburg University. She is the author of “A Conservative Walks Into a Bar: The Politics of Political Humor” (Palgrave Macmillan, 2012) and “Politics on Demand: The Effects of 24 Hour News on American Politics,” and she has edited two books on political scandal, a topic that continues to keep her busy. She is interviewed frequently in the national media and gives public talks on political behavior.

Prior to receiving her doctorate in politi-cal science from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Dagnes was a producer for C-SPAN in Washington, D.C.

A question and answer session will follow Dagnes’ talk. The event is spon-sored by Clarion University College Democrats and is free and open to the public.

Cathedral by CandlelightAt 7 p.m. Thursday the staff at Cook

Forest State Park offer an alternative to Halloween trick-or-treating. A Cathedral by Candlelight event will allow partici-pants to take a walk back in time into the depths of the Forest Cathedral with a historical character from the past.

They will view the ancient forest as they walk beneath the giant trees by candlelight. Either a French Marine from the 1750s who saw these massive trees 250 years ago, or a lumberman from the 1800s will be there to act as guide. Candy and hot chocolate will be served at the Log Cabin Inn Environmental Learning Classroom.

People will need to take flashlights for this event, which will last for two hours.

Nearly Naked MileClarion University Eagle Ambassadors

invites the community to take part in The Nearly Naked Mile at 10:30 a.m., Nov. 3, at Memorial Stadium, Clarion. The event is a clothing drive, with a twist. Participants will run or walk a mile in minimal clothing on a cold November day to foster understanding of those who cannot afford proper cold weather attire.

Runners/walkers are encouraged to dress in summer clothing – shorts, cami-soles, tank tops, etc. While participants are encouraged to dress “nearly naked,” anyone dressed inappropriately will be asked to leave.

Registration, beginning at 9 a.m., is the donation of two pieces of new or lightly used winter clothing or $10 cash. Suggested clothing items include coats, hoodies, long-sleeved shirts, pants and shoes suitable for children ages 11-18.

The event will include door prizes and a Chinese auction. A paint station will allow participants to paint on their faces, arms and legs or on their own T-shirt. At 10 a.m.,

a Clarion nutrition and fitness student will lead yoga as a group warmup.

For those who want to help without walking or running the Nearly Naked Mile, Eagle Ambassadors will also appreciate donations of cash, clothing or Chinese auc-tion items.

For information about donations or acceptable attire people may email [email protected].

The drive will benefit the Pay It Forward Clothing Closet at Oil City Middle School and High School, sup-porting children who need proper winter attire. They hope to make it an annual event and divide donations between the Oil City and Clarion areas.

The Eagle Ambassadors, the official student alumni group, serves as liaison between current students and alumni. Its mission is to aid, assist and promote Clarion University, the Clarion University Alumni Association and its board of directors, the Clarion University Foundation Inc., and the Office of the President. Eagle Ambassadors empha-sizes student dedication to the university and the community, both before and after graduation from Clarion.

A Christmas PresentRimersburg will be the scene of a

three-day craft fair in early November, which will feature homemade crafts with a strong Christmas theme.

‘Bingo, the Winning Musical’Community Playhouse, Inc. will pres-

In flashback, Honey tells us about the night Vern and her best friend, Bernice, had their falling out. Bernice’s sweet, yet headstrong daughter, Alison, is deter-mined to reunite her mother with her long-lost best friend.

An optional meal will be available before the show, from 6:15 to 6:45 p.m. The cost of show tickets with the meal included is $25. No meal reservations will be taken after Nov. 4.

Barrow-Civic Theatre to present ‘Doo Wop Wed Widing Hood’

The Barrow-Civic Theatre in Franklin will present “Doo-Wop Wed Widing Hood” on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 1-2.

The performance tells the story of Little Red Riding, but with a twist and the help of doo-wop music.

The event transports the audience to the 1950s, when hula-hoops are in high demand — and so is Little Red Riding Hood.
