‘Kids love to dress up ...’
Franklin, other communities slate activities
By JILL HARRY
Staff writer
Before Franklin area children begin traveling door-todoor to gather sweet treats and other goodies tonight, hundreds will head downtown to show off their festive attire.
Each year, the city hosts a Halloween event in
Bandstand Park for its youngest residents. This year’s
event is slated to start at 5 p.m. today.
Events coordinator Ronnie Beith said the costume
contest is a city tradition dating back at least 25 years.
Though activities within the event have changed
throughout the past three decades, the focus has remained
the same — the kids and their costumes.
It is one a several such events the city throws every
year, like the Easter egg hunt and Penny Carnival. “They
are simple ... and people enjoy it,” Beith said.
The Halloween event is very weather-dependent,
Beith said.
Cold and rainy years may only draw 100 or so youths.
But in cases of good weather, the crowd of kids and can
swell to 300, she said.
“We had a couple of years where the weather was just
fantastic,” Beith recalled. Those years, she estimates at
least 500 people were gathered in the park.
“Kids love to dress up. A lot of times, the parents
dress up, too. Sometimes they bring pets and they’re
dressed up, too,” Beith said.
Of the children who attend and are 10 and younger,
30 will be picked for having the best costumes. They
will be awarded a $10 prize.
All youth attendees will receive a treat bag from the city.
Even for a “simple” event, Beith relies on volunteers
to make it happen. From those who donate time judging
the contest to the fire department employees who transport the bags to the park, “everyone pitches in and
helps,” she said.
Dancers from iDance studio will be among the special volunteers at today’s gathering. They will perform
and lead dances to popular Halloween songs as the
judges choose winners.
The event will wrap up just in time for the kids to hit
the streets for the city’s trick-or-treating hours, 6 to 8
p.m. today.

Show will be an afternoon
of country music and comedy
By ANNA APPLEGATE
Staff Writer
Sunday’s Branson Country Christmas
show presented by Randy Newman and his
band Ozark Jubilee promises to be full of
great music and lots of laughs. The show hits
the Barrow-Civic Theatre stage at 2 p.m.
Newman is a world-class fiddler
whose alter ego, Doofus Doolittle, provides comedic relief.
Newman started playing the fiddle in
his early teens with encouragement of a
musical family.
“There was always a music party
going on,” he said.
His musical career continued with a
band in high school and continued far after
with regular shows in Branson, Missouri.
Newman said he has continued in the
music industry because he is “too lazy to
get a real job.”
He has performed with and opened for
many country music legends.
One of the highlights of his career was
a stint at the Grand Ole Opry.
Doofus Doolittle was the opening act
for country singer Porter Wagner.
Wagner told Newman, “We need to
get you over on the Grand Ole Opry.”
Newman thought that Wagner was
just making a joke. “Porter is kinda my
hero,” he said.
When the telephone rang a week later,
Newman said he had a hard time believing
who was calling. It was Porter Wagner.
Newman said he thought the call was a
prank by a friend, but after several confusing
minutes on the telephone, Wagner finally
said, “Randy, damn it, this is Porter Wagner.”
That got Newman’s attention and he finally
realized he was talking to the country star.
Newman said he got to play on the
stage for approximately seven minutes in
front of a crowd of 4,000. He was then
called back at the end and played the
show off with another fiddler.
“Porter is the best guy in the world,”
Newman said.
When asked about his inspiration for
the character of Doofus Doolittle,
Newman said, “My mom always called
me a doofus. That’s kinda fitting.”
Doofus’ character actually came out of a
need for a comedian at a show that Newman
and his partner were working on.
“Myself and a partner hired a comedian. And two weeks prior to the opening
Randy Newman
as Doofus Doolittle
we were without a comedian,” he said.
“I found overalls, a stupid hat and a
Hawaiian shirt” and Doofus was born, he
said.
About the show
Newman said the first half of Sunday’s
show in Franklin will focus on the legends
of country music with tributes to singers
like Patsy Cline, George Jones and others.
There also will be a lot more comedy in the
first half, according to Newman.
The second half will feature Christmas
music.
“Some of Christmas songs are downright beautiful,” Newman said.
The band
The Ozark Jubilee band consists of Steve
Ritchey, Austin Stewart, Doug Driesel, Jory
Clayton and Jennifer Simmons.
Ritchey is in his second year with the
band. He has worked with several shows in
Branson as well as several Nashville artists.
Stewart is described as a teenage
prodigy on the steel guitar. He is the
youngest member of Ozark Jubilee.
Driesel is an outstanding male vocalist
who also plays the bass guitar. He has worked
with a number of artists form Silver Dollar
City including Jim Stafford, George Jones
and many others. Driesel is a talented vocalist
who covers a wide range of musical styles.
Clayton has been with the band for
more than 10 years and is the musical
director of the group. Clayton plays the
piano, keyboard, synthesizer and arranges the music for the band.
Simmons, who is the band’s female
vocalist, hails all the way from Australia.
Newman describes her as “the pinnacle of
female vocalists to come out of Branson.”
“This is most likely the finest allaround group I have ever assembled,”
Newman said of the band’s talent.
The band has performed in 40 of the
48 connecting states and is on the road
up to 60 days a year.
Tickets for the local show are $25 and
are available by calling the Barrow’s box
office at 437-3440 or going online to
www.barrowtheatre.com.
“If you like music at all, you will love
the show,” Newman said. “Y’all come
now.”

venues throughout western Pennsylvania
and advises the Clarion University honorary music sorority Sigma Alpha Iota.
Matson, in her second year as a featured
vocalist, is a member of The Messengers
praise and worship team, a church soloist,
and the director of Wesley Fellowship at First

Musical tribute planned Nov. 16
for Redbank Valley teacher
NEW BETHLEHEM — A special
tribute will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday,
Nov. 16, to honor the memory of career
Redbank Valley High School music
teacher, Russell C. Reefer Jr.
Those wishing to be a part of the
musical tribute should contact either
Carrie McIntire or Sarah Williams at the
high school, (814) 275-2424, no later
than Saturday. Their email addresses are
jrmcam@gmail.com or s.e.williams250@
gmail.com.
Reefer died Oct. 4 after a long battle
with cancer. He taught in the local school
system for more than 32 years and also
taught as an adjunct professor at Clarion
University and Grove City College.
A group of alumni and Reefer’s teaching colleagues are organizing the event
titled “For the Love of Music: A Tribute
to the Leader of the Band.”
The concept of holding such an
event was first proposed by a local
RVHS alumnus, Erin Anderson
Schuetz, at the time of Reefer’s passing. She recruited the support of the
school’s current high school choral
instructor, Carrie McIntire, and the
instrumental music instructor, Sarah
Williams, along with several others
who have accepted the responsibilities
of performing specific functions.
Initial steps in the planning involved
inviting a 1986 RVHS graduate, Dr.
Roger Tabler of Bethel Park. Tabler is an
instrumental music instructor in the
Mount Lebanon School District as well
as the music director and conductor of
the Pittsburgh Youth Philharmonic
Orchestra, an organization he founded
more than 20 years and involving scores
of young musicians from dozens of
school districts.
In addition, a number of former
Redbank Valley music teachers are
expected to participate in the concert,
including Dr. Brad Genevro, Royce
Hetrick, Paul Stahlman and Toni Caruso.
Other former local faculty members may
also participate, sharing the stage with
current students in the marching band
and chorus as well as with alumni,
according to McIntire.
Musicians participating in the tribute
will have rehearsal at the high school on
the day before the concert from 10 a.m.
until 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15, with a
lunch break provided.
Nearly three dozen alumni have indicated an intention to participate, she
added.
Also, the announcement said, former
instrumental students who no longer
have their instruments but who would
like to share in the experience should
contact Williams at the school to inquire
about the availability of instruments they
could borrow for the weekend.
McIntire said the entire effort has
gained so much early response because
Redbank Valley High School music teacher Russell C. Reefer Jr.
passed away Oct. 4 after a long battle with cancer. A special tribute
has been planned in his honor at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 16.
there was a strong desire among alumni
and colleagues in the teaching ranks to
pay respect to an educator who touched
the lives of hundreds of students over his
career.” He did so much for so many
people. This was seen as something we
can do as a tribute to him and in honor of
his legacy.”
Musical selection in the concert will
include a variety of pieces featuring
Poetry and Jazz program set Nov. 9
FOXBURG — The Allegheny
RiverStone Center for the Arts will hold
its popular Poetry and Jazz program at 2
p.m. Sunday, Nov. 9.
Local poets Andy Johnson and Phil
Terman will lead the program in Lincoln
Hall.
Each will offer their own poetry in
their unique style, accompanied by a
group of jazz artists whose improvisations will create images in the minds of
the audience members, according to
John Soroka, executive director at
ARCA.
Johnson is retired from Slippery Rock
University. Terman teaches at Clarion
University. “Both are published writers
who deliver the written word with all the
nuance appropriate to each poem offered,”
Soroka said.
Terman, author of six books of poetry,
will read his poetry while accompanied
by members of the jazz ensemble Catro,
manages to be new,” said Johnson.
Tickets for the Foxburg show will cost
$15 for adults and $8 for students.

including Mark DeWalt at the piano and

guitar.

Movie Review: ‘Ouija’
A scary premise that fails at being scary
An evil toy harbors forgotten secrets in
“Ouija,” a horror film that also forgets what
makes a horror story frightening. Directed
by Stiles White and starring Olivia Cooke
of the A&E drama “Bates Motel,” the film
centers on a vengeful spirit unleashed
through the eponymous board game.
After her friend Debbie’s suicide, Laine,
played by Olivia Cooke, discovers an old
Ouija board among her deceased friend’s
possessions. Compelled to learn why
Debbie took her own life, Laine convinces
her close friends, her sister, and Debbie’s
boyfriend to attempt contact through the
board. But they quickly learn that a vengeful spirit has been awakened, and it will
take everything in their power to stay alive.
While the idea is a haunting premise, it
is obvious that the film makers do not
understand what would make this concept
scary. Instead of true terror — fear of the
unknown, the chance for these characters
to become monsters themselves — the
film discards an eerie atmosphere to throw
cheap jump scares at the audience.
To its credit, about halfway through the
run time the film does improve. The story
takes some interesting chances, attempting
its own spin on the supernatural horror
genre, and tension begins to form — only
to throw this all away in the last fifteen
minutes. The director could have improved
the tension by making the Ouija board
more ambiguous in the first half. The audience could have been given some time to
wonder if there was an evil presence or if
these teenagers were just crazy. Instead the
ghost is presented almost immediately,
spoiling its chance to induce terror.
The film drags its feet with terrible
pacing and unintentional comedy. The
characters are poorly written and many
times their interactions feel rushed. This
is especially evident in scenes where
Cooke’s character argues with her sister
Sarah, played by Ana Coto. Instead of a
life-like argument, their scuffles are unrealistically resolved in a matter of seconds.
RAVE
REVIEWS
by Timothy Hogg
It reeks of the director rushing the takes,
trying to film each scene in record time.
Like many horror films, it is not without
the cardinal sin of dumb characters making
dumb decisions, but this one takes it to a
special level. One of the biggest complains
of horror films is why the characters don’t
call the police. Supernatural thrillers circumvent this; who would call the police to
report that they are being stalked by a
ghost? But “Ouija” presents the characters
with the world’s most legitimate reason to
call the cops, which makes viewing the
film especially frustrating when they proceed to act like nothing happened, ignoring
their previous predicament.
“Ouija” feels like it was trimmed
down to achieve a PG-13 rating, and
failed to conjure a sense of dread or forbidding atmosphere. It is instead a
watered-down supernatural thriller
directed toward a primarily teenage market. Some may enjoy the film in a “so
bad, it’s good” sort of way, but the char-
acters are so foolish, they might make
the audience root for the demon instead.
My grade: 4 out of 10 stars.
