|A Pleasant-Enough Trek "Through the Woods": "Over the River & Through the Woods" at the Playcrafters Barn Theatre
|Theatre - Reviews
|Written by Mike Schulz
|Tuesday, 17 January 2006 18:00
Joe DiPietro's Over the River & Through the Woods is a charming stage sitcom, and based on a final dress rehearsal held January 10, the production of it that opened the Playcrafters Barn Theatre's 2006 season is perfectly charming, too. The large, invited audience of (mostly) seniors who attended the rehearsal seemed to have a terrific time; the show's punchlines, more often than not, got their laughs, and there was no denying the sweetness of spirit that emanated from the show – if smiles were audible, it would have been deafening in the Barn Theatre.
Yet this production, directed by Greg Bouljon, also proved how rare it is to find a truly inspired stage sitcom, and Over the River ... , while never less than likable, rarely rises above likable. It's a nice, pleasant production of a nice, pleasant play, and for many, that will be enough. But what's missing – at least based on that dress rehearsal – is freshness and surprise, those bursts of real-life eccentricity that can turn a conventional comedy into something more memorable.
The show concerns thirtysomething Nick Cristano (Dan Marquis) as he tries, ever so delicately, to free himself from the emotional clutches of his grandparents – Nunzio and Emma Cristano (Howard Johnson and Jan Golz) and Frank and Aida Gianelli (Chris Browne and Jackie Skiles) – by leaving the confines of New Jersey and accepting a promotion in Seattle; his relations attempt to keep Nick in town by matching him with a charming neighborhood girl (Catherine Woodard). It's one of those implausible but effective stage scenarios that also allow for maximum sentiment, which Over the River ... indulges in further by having the Italian characters – most often Nick – take turns monologuing their thoughts about "la famiglia" throughout the play.
This convention, though, is a cheat, a rather simplistic way for the playwright to reveal character without actually exploring it in any depth; motivation and subtext are ladled on top of the drama instead of existing within the drama. (Neil Simon perfected this lazy technique in his Brighton Beach trilogy.) And in Playcrafters' Over the River ... , the awkwardness is compounded by Bouljon having the actors deliver their reveries under a dramatic downlight that they must occasionally walk into; it sometimes takes the actors a moment to hit their marks, the resulting pauses cause the momentum to lag, and we become too conscious of the use of the monologues as a narrative device. (They feel less like personal revelations than a half-hearted way for DiPietro to impart information.) Directorially, it's about the only glitch in Bouljon's work here – he certainly makes impressive use of the Barn's narrow thrust stage – but there's one other noticeable failing in this Over the River: Playcrafters' ensemble (as of early last week, at least) isn't entirely convincing as a family, and unless we buy them as relations, Over the River & Through the Woods can't truly soar.
Certainly, they're often delightful individually. Marquis displays a touching, hangdog earnestness, and the four actors who play Nick's grandparents are confident troupers. Browne exudes a debonair charm reminiscent of Donald O'Connor. Golz's terrific low voice is just right for deadpan comedy. Skiles is a daffily pushy sweetheart. And Johnson, spitting out his lines with comic aggression – regarding Nick's decision to dine on Chinese food, Nunzio blurts out, "It's like eating cancer!" – often makes you laugh with his unpredictable vocal emphasis; Johnson sounds just like Dana Carvey's Grumpy Old Man on Saturday Night Live.
But DiPietro's comedy is devoted to the love-hate relationship that exists among closely knit family members, and that bond is what's missing here. (Also missing are Italian accents, but I'll happily take no accents over distracting ones.) The actors seem to genuinely like one another, yet you never sense, as you should, that Nick often wants to strangle his grandparents – at worst, he seems vaguely annoyed with them – and you don't feel how desperate they are to have Nick stay with them. Everyone in Over the River ... seems awfully nice – too nice, it turns out, for the show's plot to make much sense.
But as I saw a tech-dress of this Over the River ... as opposed to an actual paid performance, I should be charitable; a deepening of character relationships might well have occurred prior to opening night, and for a dress rehearsal, Playcrafters' production – technically – seemed in good shape. (Knowing full well how much can change from rehearsal to first performance, I'd rather avoid reviewing productions before their official opening, but my schedule, unfortunately, dictated an earlier-than-expected visit to the Barn Theatre.) And, as mentioned earlier, the elder audience members were clearly having a good time. Over the River & Through the Woods is affable, to be sure. I hope that, by last Friday's opening night, it became invigorating, too.

I have a problem that happens sometimes when I shift into the smaller rear cogs. The lateral vibrations from jumping down to the smaller cog sometimes causes the chain at the front chain ring to catch the tips of the ring and makes it ways between the front chain ring and the chain guard ring. The chain ends up jammed in between them so I have to pry them back out sometimes.
The chain doesn't fall inward because I have a chain guard there too. If the outer chain guard wasn't there, the chain would simply fall off. Any ideas on how to fix it?
I tried taking some links out of the chain to increase the chain tension but that didn't seem to make a difference.

The Columbus Redevelopment Commission is on the verge of resolving two longtime problems and at the same time cut the last ties to a private company that the mayor has been disassociating from the city.
Mayor Kristen Brown said a proposed payment deal of $300,000 to Buckingham Cos., the developer of the downtown Cole apartments, will be up for a vote at the commission's meeting at 6 p.m. Monday.
And, the commission is close to resolving payment and lease issues with Scotty's Burger Joint, one of four restaurants in The Commons.
Both Buckingham and Scotty's negotiated deals through the help of Columbus Downtown Inc., a private company created to act on behalf of the Redevelopment Commission. CDI acquired properties, negotiated deals and signed leases.
Brown was critical of CDI during her mayoral campaign for the way taxpayer money was kept from public view. She vowed to close down CDI.
Buckingham and Scotty's are the last unresolved issues associated with CDI.
Prior members of the Redevelopment Commission and CDI promised to pay Buckingham $300,000 to help finalize the Cole project. The payment never was made, and a subsequent agreement between CDI and Buckingham permitted the company to recoup the money by withholding payments for parking spaces it would lease in the Second Street garage.
Brown and current commission members questioned the legitimacy of the obligation. Both sides met privately to resolve the matter.
Brown said she will suggest to the commission that it approve paying the $300,000 in $60,000 installments over five years. Revenue from the city-owned parking garages on Second and Jackson streets would be used for the payments, she said.
One detail still being finalized is the number of parking spaces that Buckingham will lease each year for apartment tenants and retail shops. Brown said Buckingham would like some flexibility.
The Redevelopment Commission and Mert Shipman, the owner of Scotty's, have been trying to resolve multiple issues. Shipman has been seeking reimbursement for certain construction costs associated with the preparation of his retail space. However, the commission has been seeking his payment of unpaid utility bills and the reassignment of his lease from CDI to the commission.
In November, the commission approved paying Shipman $21,021 of the $25,521 he sought after he paid $28,762.44 in utility bills and reassigned his lease. Failure by Shipman to do so would have caused the commission to notify him that he'd broken his lease and begin the procedure for terminating his lease.
Brown said Shipman agreed to those terms. He paid his utility bills and received his money but didn't immediately reassign his lease. However, an agenda item for the Monday meeting includes the acceptance of the lease reassignment for Scotty's.

"Major" China Biopharma Buys Bayer's Bay-Area Biopharma Campus
A major, though as-yet unnamed, China biopharma has bought the prestigious San Francisco-area biotech campus that formerly belonged to Bayer. The six-building campus is located in Richmond, on the Berkeley side of the bay. The buyer has promised to disclose its identity and plans for the site next month. One source hints the company will seek to set up a biopharma hub, a US base for itself and other China biopharmas, rather than occupy the entire space itself. Whatever the plans turn out to be, the purchase signals a new phase in the relationship between US and China biopharmas. The purchase price was not disclosed. More details....

New duties on the horizon
Dear readers — I must inform you that I am taking a new job.
But don't worry, I will return.
Any day now, I'll be assuming the title of "Mommy." Job duties: Late-night feedings, diaper changes, burping — and bonding with my new baby!
While I'm out on maternity leave through mid-September, I have the great pleasure of handing the daily operations of the Press Tribune over to Interim Editor Mayra Rabé.
Rabé comes to us after more than 7 years at the Amador Ledger Dispatch, where she most recently served as editor of the weekly newspaper in Jackson. In my brief time training her, I have been impressed with her attention to detail, organization skills and positive attitude. She also has an innate understanding of community newspapers. I have great confidence that she will do a wonderful job leading our newsroom.
Rabé will be in the office part-time and will be managing my e-mails and phone calls while I'm gone. You can also drop her a line at mayrar@goldcountry
Have a wonderful summer and stay tuned for a "breaking news" announcement on the arrival of my little boy!
Michelle Carl is the editor of the Roseville Press Tribune. She can be reached at michellec@goldcountry

I'm on my own for the next two weeks while Alison is in France spending time with her kids during their winter school break. She is on a Delta flight somewhere over the middle of Pennsylvania, and is probably enjoying a soft drink and the minuscule bag of peanuts that Delta likes to think of as a privilege of flying with them.
When we flew over there last fall, we flew on US Air for the first time, and had a great experience. But we only flew into Paris, and Alison is flying all the way through to Bordeaux, so it was easier to book on Delta via Air France.
We managed to exchange some texts and a few emails after I got home from the Cincinnati Airport and before her plane took off. I got the impression that she might be over Delta. I know I sure am.
I don't know what I will do with myself the next couple of weeks. Hopefully I don't fall off the diet and exercise wagon. I'm going to try to keep it up. I'm down around 16 pounds. I'd like to lose another 10 or 15 before we head to Austin next month for HONK! TX where MMMB will be participating.
And speaking of MMMB, if you would like to help them get to Austin for HONK! TX, consider coming out to Buster's tomorrow night for a benefit show for the band. Admission is only $15 for a lot of entertainment, and the marching band gets all the proceeds. Doors open around 8, I think, and the show will probably get underway by 9. I hope to see you there. You Lexington locals, that is.

It's quite an accomplishment to write poetry well. If you don't think so browse through the aisle of a bookstore — one of the few that may be left in an area near you — and take agood look at just how many books you can find of either cloying drivel or pretentious pap that pass for poems.
That, in and of itself, makes Autumn Reign's Truth Serum, Watering Seasons of My Love (Belfrey Books) a relief, penned in a sure hand that consistently engages and, at times, wholly compels. All the more noteworthy, Truth Serum is a debut collection, the first time out of the gate for a voice that already warrants close listening. As in, "No matter the threat of thunderstorm in my sky, you have been the lightening that has illuminated my heart, I cannot always express why or what but the light has always been there shining awaiting your return… Loving you has always been cloudy on a clear day."
Autumn Reign (AR) is a native of Boston MA. She grew up in Dorchester and attended Boston High school and Northeastern University. Continue Reading →

Monday Dec. 15, 2008
NEW YORK (AP) -- The Arena Football League has canceled its 2009 season subject to agreement of the players union. The decision comes days after the AFL said next season had not been suspended.
The AFL's owners voted against playing next season during a conference call Sunday night and announced the move Monday. The league gave no timetable for its return.
The AFL had been in limbo for weeks. The 16-team league had delayed indefinitely the start of free agency, the release of next season's schedule and a dispersal draft to award players from the defunct New Orleans Voodoo.
The league has not selected a permanent replacement for longtime commissioner David Baker, who resigned from the 22-year-old league
two days before the ArenaBowl in July.

Analyzing Notre Dame's Sullivan report
Welcome back to Three Downs and Punt, where we are already in mourning about the end of spring practice. But not as much as reader Lincoln G. from Oxford, Miss., who writes:
"Just what exactly am I supposed to do with myself between now and August? We're ending spring practice down here with no idea who is going to play quarterback and with a coach who I just know is going to pop up in the middle of all these scandals that seem to break out every week. Seriously, dude. Do I just go pop a tent in The Grove and sleep there all summer until two-a-days start?"
Well, Lincoln, when it comes to Mississippi Rebels news, I'm always going to go with ESPN.com's Edward Aschoff, and he says Randall Mackey is the QB leader in the clubhouse. As for camping in The Grove, I do like the idea. But I'm thinking campus security might not.
To the plays!
First Down: The real takeaway from the Notre Dame accident report
On Monday, Notre Dame released its 145-page report on the Declan Sullivan tragedy. When the 20-year-old member of the football team's video unit was killed on Oct. 27, 2010, it struck an emotional chord with me because of my time as a student videographer with the Tennessee Volunteers in the early 1990s. So much so, in fact, that I wrote extensively about my experiences in this blog.
So when the Notre Dame report was published on the university's website, I promised myself I wouldn't react until I'd had a chance to read the entire report. On Tuesday, I did just that.
In the end, the report blames no one individual or office for the decision to allow the junior to pilot and extend his scissor lift into the blustery day. Not athletic director Jack Swarbrick, director of football operations Chad Klunder, then-head athletic trainer Jim Russ or Sullivan's immediate supervisor, video coordinator Tim Collins.
All of those men had their heads called for by heartbroken fans and understandably angry members of the media, particularly in those raw, first few days following the accident. Swarbrick's personal recollection of the day's events that he shared at the initial October press conference drew the most vicious fire. What wasn't aimed at the AD was saved for coach Brian Kelly, who didn't address the subject in public, save for a few prepared statements and a short press conference following the team's loss to Tulsa.
That's why the initial reaction from so many to Monday's findings was so pointed and emotional. The simplest summation of the report came in its fifth paragraph, part of the opening letter from Notre Dame president, Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C:
"Many individuals and departments share the collective responsibility for the inadequacy of the procedures that led to this tragedy. The university, then, is collectively responsible."
For those who wanted to see heads roll, the idea of a mass responsibility has been unsatisfying and enraging. There has to be someone to blame, right? A smoking gun has to exist, with the fingerprints of the individual who must live with the guilt of Sullivan's death, doesn't it?
The central finding of the report's story is spot-on. What killed Sullivan wasn't one bad decision made by a person or persons who didn't do their job. Sullivan was killed by a culture, the hierarchy of an old-school, grass-and-lime rectangular world that has largely remained unchanged since the days of Knute Rockne. And it isn't exclusive to South Bend.
In the end, that culture is what the report ultimately blames for the deadly accident. It's the environment that I tried to describe in my October column. It's a mentality straight out of "A Few Good Men" that says you don't question orders, you obey them, whether you're an offensive lineman or the equipment manager. And it's not a duty that's done out of fear, it's out of a desire to do the right thing.
We'll never know what Sullivan was thinking up on that tower in the wind -- even his cryptic tweets have come under differences of interpretation -- but the reason that he stayed up there was simple: He didn't want to let the team down.
When I was asked to clarify my feelings on "Outside The Lines" a few days after the accident, the best explanation I could come up with then was still the best one that I have now. When I was 20 years old, the last thing in the world I would ever have considered was to climb my tower, look at the weather and turn to head coach/living legend Johnny Majors and say, "Hey Coach, I don't think we should be practicing outside today."
You think Sullivan, a kid who grew up outside Chicago wearing green and gold, was going to be the guy who bailed on practice because it was windy or went against what he believed were the wishes of Brian Kelly? Not a chance.
The only section of the report in which Kelly is discussed at length is the pages that detail the timeline of the decision to hold practice outside on Oct. 27. Kelly did as he had always done, eyeball the weather to make the call to practice outside. He conveyed that decision to Klunder, who refers to himself as "Kelly's weatherman" and advisor on the daily outside-or-inside decision. Klunder informs Collins and Russ of Kelly's plan, and they do everything they can to make that happen, sending troops of both students and staff into action. Everyone monitors the weather all day long, but it is clear that if the initial order was "practice outside" that's exactly what everyone is going to make happen.
As the report details, there should have been better monitoring of to-the-second weather conditions. There also should have been more defined roles as to who would do that monitoring and to whom they should report if they had concerns. There certainly needed to be more thorough training on what the team's three scissor lifts were and were not capable of. All of those issues were addressed, and plans were laid out to correct them.
But the most important sentence of the report gets lost among all of the carefully worded timelines and recommendations. The words that ultimately hold the solution to avoiding another practice-field tragedy live on Page 15, between "Appointment of Athletic Department Safety Contacts" and "New Lift-Identification Protocol."
It reads: "In addition to the Safety Contact, coaches, filming coordinators, videographers, and all other employee-operators should still be encouraged to voice any concerns they may have regarding the propriety of using lifts in certain conditions. Moreover, lift operators should continue to be empowered to ground or lower the lifts if they feel uncomfortable for any reason whatsoever."
In other words, forget the chain of command. Forget that you might get yelled at by a position coach for having missed a few plays on video while you adjusted your lift. Forget that you might receive catcalls from the players below for wimping out while they are toughing it out.
Now those who have long been an invisible link in the college football chain are being given the power to do the right thing. To speak up and use common sense in situations they are uncomfortable with.
"When we get to the CSVA [Collegiate Sports Video Association] conference next month, we'll be talking about the Notre Dame report for five days," an ACC video coordinator told me Wednesday afternoon. "The recommendations in the report aren't just for Notre Dame, they're for all of us. But what we're most excited about is that it gives us stronger position in the decision-making process. You don't take blind orders anymore and just see them through, damn the torpedoes. Now you can speak up and say, 'This is a bad idea.'"

GBREB Officials Meet with Boston Fire Dept. Over Delays in Smoke Detector Inspections
In response to reported delays and miscommunications in the scheduling and performance of smoke and carbon monoxide detector inspections in the City of Boston, officials from GBAR and GBREB – including Chairman of the Board Robert Shortsleeve, GBAR VP Daphna Fields, and GBREB Government Affairs Directors Patricia Baumer -- recently met with Boston Fire Department Commissioner Roderick Fraser and Deputy Chief Bart Shea to discuss issues being faced by REALTORS® and identify initiatives to improve the process. To address the situation, the Fire Department has approved overtime for inspectors and recently hired a scheduler exclusively to coordinate inspection appointments. In addition, Commissioner Fraser noted that the Department is extending the effective period of inspection certificates to 90 days. The Department is also developing new fire inspection forms and implementing a software upgrade to its communications system which it hopes to have in place by the end of the summer.
The delays encountered in smoke and CO detector inspections are attributable to the surge in home buying activity this spring, along with technical issues experienced with a new scheduling system implemented earlier this year, both of which have stretched the resources of the Boston Fire Department in recent months. To alleviate the risk of experiencing a delay in the future, Deputy Chief Shea recommends scheduling inspections as early as possible, ideally at the time the listing is taken, since there are no cancellation fees or penalties for rescheduling an appointment. He also cautions against multiple bookings for inspections as it only ties up the system and calendar, thus adding to delays for other properties. The BFD hopes to issue further guidance in the weeks ahead in the form of a FAQ which we will share with GBAR members once made available. In the meantime, refer to the Fire Prevention Division page on the Department's website for information and to schedule your smoke and carbon monoxide detector inspections.

They aren't dry as I put lotion on them (I work around print shop chemicals, everything gets dry), but it almost feels like a sunburn. I know this seems pretty easy to answer...I have a sunburn, but I use sunblock and my legs don't even get the bulk of the sun. That and they aren't red like with a sunburn and even though I don't burn that easily, I will occasionally get one and I also get peeling skin, which is absent from my shins. Could it be from the heat radiating off the ground? I was just wondering if anyone had experienced anything like this.

An ultrasound is a simple and painless procedure that allows the medical professional to see a picture of your pregnancy. Having an ultrasound is an important next step in order to:
Schedule an appointment at Claris Health Pregnancy Clinic and our medical professionals will determine if you are eligible for a free ultrasound.
Ultrasounds at Claris Health Pregnancy Clinic are provided by a staff doctor (OB/GYN), nurse practitioner (NP), or a nurse (RN).
The ultrasound is not intended to diagnose potential abnormalities or to determine the sex of your baby.
