Classic Rock Rewind: This month, you can “Go Your Own Way” at Open Stage

August 29, 2024 | by Stuart Landon

Madison Eppley

This September, the music of Fleetwood Mac will take center stage in downtown Harrisburg as Open Stage presents “Go Your Own Way: A Celebration of Fleetwood Mac.”

This concert promises to be an electrifying tribute, capturing the timeless essence of the iconic group that has defined generations.

Formed in London in 1967, Fleetwood Mac has a rich and complex history. Named for drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie, who have been the constants in the group throughout its many evolutions, Fleetwood Mac began as a cornerstone of the British blues scene. Guitarist Peter Green, who founded the band, coined the name during their early recording sessions as a nod to the rhythm section’s crucial role.

Over the years, the band’s lineup changed numerous times, featuring 15 different musicians. However, it was the addition of Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks that transformed Fleetwood Mac into a pop-rock powerhouse. Their 1977 album, “Rumours,” remains one of the best-selling albums of all time, with unforgettable singles like “Dreams,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The album’s enduring appeal is a testament to the band’s blend of rock, blues and pop, coupled with deeply personal lyrics.

When selecting a tribute concert for this season at Open Stage, Fleetwood Mac was the clear choice. Their music, a constant in so many lives, resonates across generations.

I vividly recall sitting in the back of my family’s station wagon, listening to Stevie croon on the radio—a soundtrack to so many memories. As rehearsals progress, I have the privilege of hearing the cast at work, just steps from my office. The sound of their harmonies, even through the walls, has been nothing short of a joy. Their take on Fleetwood Mac’s music is already proving to be as beautiful as it is true to the original spirit.

The production features a stellar lineup of local musicians, including Brad Barkdoll, Jeremy Blouch, TJ Creedon, Madison Eppley, Dani Fiore, Jasmine Graham, Rachel Landon and Jess Logan. With staging by Creedon and musical direction by Barkdoll, the artists will guide the audience through Fleetwood Mac’s legendary discography, from “Rhiannon” to “Landslide” and “Go Your Own Way.”

“Fleetwood Mac’s music is something special—it connects with people of all ages,” said Wayne Landon, the concert’s producer. “Putting this tribute together at Open Stage is our way of celebrating their legacy and sharing the joy their music has brought to so many of us.”

This tribute is the latest in Open Stage’s series of musical homages, following celebrations of David Bowie, Dolly Parton, Judy Garland and Carole King. As Fleetwood Mac’s harmonies and rock anthems take center stage, “Go Your Own Way” is set to be a highlight of Open Stage’s 39th season.

Audiences can look forward to a night filled with their favorite hits, heartfelt performances and the undeniable energy of Fleetwood Mac.

“Go Your Own Way: A Celebration of Fleetwood Mac” runs Sept. 6 to 21 at Open Stage, 25 N. Court St., Harrisburg. For tickets and information, visit www.openstagehbg.com.

Stuart Landon is the producing artistic director at Open Stage.

Capital Blue Cross’ Push for Health Equity in Harrisburg

August 29, 2024 | by Todd Shamash

SPONSORED CONTENT: The Harrisburg region is a wonderful place to live and work, and Capital Blue Cross is proud to be a part of the region’s ongoing growth and success. We started in Harrisburg more than 85 years ago, and we continue to proudly call this area our home.

Central Pennsylvania, like so many areas of the country, struggles to ensure everyone has access to quality, affordable healthcare that can help them enjoy fulfilling, productive lives. Disparities in health equity, regardless of the cause, can hamper the quality of life not just for individuals, but for entire communities.

It doesn’t have to be this way, and Capital is proud of the work we do to improve health equity and promote health and wellness in the Harrisburg region.

A perfect example is our intensified health equity efforts, which help ensure affordable, quality care is accessible to all who need it. Together with our likeminded community partners, we’ve helped fund numerous health equity-focused initiatives in and around Harrisburg, including:

The WellSpan Mobile Mammography Coach, which provides essential breast cancer screenings to uninsured and underinsured women across six area counties regardless of their ability to pay.
Healthy Harrisburg, piloted by the UPMC Pinnacle Foundation, which provides resources to help UPMC’s most vulnerable patients.
Mission of Mercy, which helps the underinsured and uninsured access essential medical care.
Alder Health Services, which strives to improve the health and well-being of the area’s LGBTQ+ communities and individuals living with HIV/AIDS.
Harrisburg Area Community College’s dental program, which provides affordable, accessible care to those who might otherwise struggle to find it.

Again, we back these varied and vital initiatives because we believe that closing gaps in care—and opening doors to affordable, accessible, quality healthcare—is critical to Capital’s core mission. But health equity isn’t the only area we support as we march toward that goal; Capital also helps fund essential regional programs that bolster basic human needs and services, as well as education, culture and the arts.

Capital’s contributions to important regional causes aren’t just financial. We also give ourselves—our energy, our passion, our talent and our time. We do it through a robust Capital Blue Cross Employee Volunteer Program that last year saw 386 Capital employees log 8,765 hours of volunteer community service. To put that in context, an entire calendar year has 8,760 hours, meaning our employees gave a full year’s worth of time towards causes they care about.

Our employees take part in multiple community donation drives and fundraiser events that Capital hosts throughout the year. Chief among those is our annual support of United Way of the Capital Region (UWCR). For three years running, Capital’s campaign to help the United Way has raised more than $500,000 a year to support vital programs and services, helping empower area individuals and families to achieve self-sufficiency.

Whether it’s donating millions of our dollars over the years to critical health or life-quality programs or donating thousands of hours of our time, we are grateful to be able to work with all of you toward the common goal of a healthy, thriving Harrisburg.

We’ll continue to do our part by going that extra mile every day to help our area grow, prosper, and meet its enormous potential.

Todd Shamash is president and CEO of Capital Blue Cross.

Harrisburg pledges to crack down on trucks illegally parking in neighborhoods

August 28, 2024 | by Maddie Gittens

Harrisburg zoning map

Harrisburg is urging trucks to watch where they’re parking.

The city on Wednesday reminded commercial vehicle drivers to only park in designated areas, as police have noticed a growing illegal parking issue.

Trucks, tractor trailers and other large vehicles are only permitted to park in areas zoned Commercial General (CG), Commercial Neighborhood (CN) or Industrial (IND). A map above shows where those areas are.

PennDOT defines commercial vehicles as any type of motor vehicle used for transporting goods or passengers for compensation, according to the city.

Commercial vehicles that do not park in the correct zones will be increasingly ticketed, possibly daily. Vehicles parked in the correct zones will still be required to follow other parking ordinances, such as street sweeping.

According to the city, the Harrisburg Police Bureau has noticed sometimes up to five trucks per block, parking overnight in residential areas. This most commonly occurs in Uptown, along Division Street, 6th Street and 4th Street, near Italian Lake and the former William Penn High School.

City officials say the main concern with the illegal parking is public safety.

“We are starting to see issues when it comes to emergency vehicles like fire trucks being able to access more narrow streets,” said Deputy Police Chief Kenny Young. “We are also noticing kids running between cars, and if a large truck is parked on the street, it proves to be a sight obstruction for not only pedestrians, but other drivers coming down the street.”

Harrisburg proposes constructing entertainment pavilion in Riverfront Park

August 27, 2024 | by Maddie Gittens

The proposed site of the pavilion in Riverfront Park.

Harrisburg may get a new entertainment pavilion in one of its main parks.

City officials shared that Harrisburg submitted a grant application to the state for funds to construct a pavilion in Riverfront Park to use for city festivals and events.

City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved the ratification of the grant application submission to the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development for $117,228 for the construction of the structure.

The proposed multipurpose pavilion would be built in Riverfront Park, near the Civic Club of Harrisburg’s building near North Street. According to city Grants Director Rebecca Vollmer, the concrete bandshell would be similar to the pavilion in Italian Lake Park.

The stage would be used for city events such as Kipona, Artsfest, Fourth of July and other events, and could be rented out to the Civic Club and other organizations to bring revenue to the city, Vollmer said.

Vollmer said that the city currently pays around $17,000 to $21,000 for stages for festival entertainment each year.

If the grant is awarded, the city would be required to match 15% of the total project cost, about $18,000. Vollmer expects that the city would essentially make back that money in savings by not having to rent a stage, within a year.

City Council members asked questions about how security and upkeep of the structure would be handled. City officials said that those details would be arranged if and when the award is granted.

Cultural Connections: Local group organizes Hispanic Heritage Month events to highlight creativity, community

August 27, 2024 | by Maddie Gittens

A series of Hispanic Heritage Month events will showcase the diversity and creativity within the Harrisburg area’s Latino population.

A group of local professionals have organized a month-long celebration including food, music and wellness activities, all with the goal of fostering a sense of community and exemplifying the ways Latinos express themselves.

The festival, running from Sept. 14 through Oct. 13, will offer events in Harrisburg and New Cumberland.

“We are creatives, we are entrepreneurs. We are so diverse,” said Eliezer Rodriguez, owner of Koki Latin Cuisine and one of the organizers. “I don’t think people really realize how diverse Latinos really are.”

The range of events was curated to display that diversity and creativity of the community, pushing back against stereotypes, organizers explained.

The opening event of the month, “Café con Pan,” will use coffee and food to bring people together at Elementary Coffee Co. in Harrisburg to share their cultural stories and experiences with coffee, an important part of Latino culture. Other events include a vendor market, happy hour with networking, a Latino improv group and dance and spiritual medicine workshops.

“Hispanic Heritage Month is a unique opportunity for us who identify as Hispanic or Latinx to show off who we are and why we are so proud of our ethnicity,” said Leslie Avila, another organizer. “Being Latinx means so many different things to different people, so this is important to us, for us to express who we are.”

Several event organizers also shared how they hope the events allow members of the Latino community to form connections, something that can be challenging in a smaller city like Harrisburg.

“I’ve been here in Harrisburg almost 20 years at this point, but I feel like I’ve now found my people,” said Emil Rodriquez-Powell about connecting with the event team. “Even though I’m a Latino business owner and I’ve met so many people throughout the years, I am limited in my connection with other Latinos.”

Most events are free to the public, with a few charging a small fee. The group is also still looking for volunteers and sponsors for the month, as well as people who are willing to share their stories for the “Café con Pan” event.

Hispanic Heritage Month events include the following:

Café Con Pan (Part 1 and Part 2), Sept. 14 at Elementary Coffee Co. in Harrisburg and Oct. 13 at Source Creative Space in New Cumberland: A unique community gathering celebrating the tradition of “Café con Pan” in Latino culture. We will kick off the month-long celebration with live storytelling and a celebration of coffee with empanadas and a variety of breads from different Latino and Caribbean countries, and we will end the month with a Cafe Con Pan party where we will show the stories we recorded on September 14.
Latinx Night Market, Sept. 20 at Culture & Commerce Coworking Space in Harrisburg: Celebrate with Latino DJ artists, Hispanic vendors and artisans, and food tastings.
Happy Hour, Sept. 26 at Kuora Lounge: An evening of networking, food and drink, and dance hosted by Young Professionals of Color – Greater HBG.
“Latinx in Business: Meet The Team”, Oct. 4 at Source Creative Space in New Cumberland: Meet Latinx Creative Entrepreneurs behind the planning of this month-long celebration as they share their experiences, motivations and stories.
Bomba y Plena, Oct. 6 at Source Creative Space in New Cumberland: A cultural dance and traditional practice workshop and performance.
Ancestral Healing and Traditional Wellness, Oct. 6 at Source Creative Space in New Cumberland: Wellness experience highlighting cultural traditions of spiritual medicine, including healing ceremony, traditional meditation and yoga.
Latino Improv Group Inaugural Performance, Oct. 11 at the HIT Theatre in Harrisburg: Comedy and performance from Harrisburg’s first Latino Improv Group.

Ultimately, organizers want to express that there’s no right way to express Latino culture and to show other community members the rich diversity of Latinos.

“You are Latino your way. There’s not anything that you have to fit into,” said Vanessa Codorniu, an organizer and owner of The Biz Bruja, an ancestral healing and coaching business. “Just show up, and we are going to love you as you are.”

Harrisburg School District selects new superintendent of schools

August 27, 2024 | by Maddie Gittens

The Harrisburg School District has selected a new top official.

Dr. Benjamin Henry will soon serve as the new superintendent of schools, following a summer-long search, the district announced on Monday evening.

Henry fills the post left vacant by previous superintendent Eric Turman, who resigned and took a job as the superintendent of Central Dauphin School District. Following his resignation, receiver Dr. Lori Suski appointed Dr. Marcia Stokes, the district’s chief financial officer, as acting superintendent.

According to a press release from the district, Suski is slated to approve Henry’s appointment at a board meeting on Tuesday.

If approved, Henry’s four-year term would begin on Nov. 1, with Stokes continuing in the role in the meantime. The district has set Henry’s salary at $199,500.

Henry brings with him over two decades of experience in public schools, according to the district. He served as the regional assistant superintendent of Polk County Schools in Florida for the past four years, overseeing 29 schools. Before that, he held jobs as a special education teacher, a middle school math teacher and a principal. Henry was also appointed by the governor to serve on the state’s Education Ethics Committee.

Henry holds a bachelor’s degree in special education from Alabama State University, a master’s degree in computer information systems and a doctoral degree in educational leadership.

“The Harrisburg School District is eager to welcome Dr. Ben Henry as its next superintendent of schools. Dr. Henry has the full support of the elected school board,” Suski said.

Suski also said that Henry presents as a “systems thinker with a passion for urban education, a strong communicator and relationship builder.” His experience in education will also be helpful this year as the district enters the last year under the current three-year cycle of state-mandated receivership.

The district partnered with the Pennsylvania School Boards Association (PSBA) on the hiring search, which included community surveys, recruitment, interviewing and additional processes. The search committee reviewed 21 applications, interviewed seven candidates and selected Henry from among three finalists, according to the district.

Bob’s Art Blog: Sea Creatures, the Future Backward and Segue to September

August 27, 2024 | by Bob MacGinnes

Giant Puppet Parade

As the dog days of summer draw to a close, you can teach an old dog a new trick. Just ask the City of Harrisburg. On Aug. 31, Kipona (“on the sparkling water”) turns 108. That is how long this time-honored tradition has been around.

To celebrate the year, there will be a “Giant Puppet Parade.” This new addition will throw caution to the wind and hail the denizens of the deep blue sea—all puppets from sea urchins to crustaceans, jellyfish, amphibians, anemones, (not enemies), and even the “Creature from the Black Lagoon.”

Harrisburg invites you to join the parade and strut your stuff for Kipona’s second day, Sunday, Sept. 1, in a march that will go down in the annals and lore of our fair city. With a nod and a wink to Baltimore’s Kinetic Race Puppet Pageantry and Nola’s Giant Puppet Parade initiative, local creatives, led by Millworks artist P.D. Murray, brainstormed the idea. The city’s special events team then ran with the novel concept of a puppet parade featuring sea creatures via puppets for kids of all ages.

With Mayor Wanda Williams giving the green light, the city, in conjunction with a band of merrymakers, promise an afternoon festivity that will start the celebration in grand style. The parade jumps off at 4:15 p.m., with the vanguard forming at State and Front streets, led by a giant “River Monster” created by artist Jeff Semmerling of Co-Exist Gallery. They are sponsoring the event as well as Art Side Out Studio, both from Steelton. It’s a win-win for kids of all ages in costume or plying the puppets by plucking their strings and for all those onlookers watching the parade go by. Cash prizes in three categories will be awarded and presented by Co-Exist Gallery. The streets will teem within a dream, and you may scream with delight or fear, but better yet, send up a cheer!

Part II: The Future Backwards

Science fiction writer, William Gibson, wrote, “The Future is Already Here” In an election year to end all others, there may be two candidates who would love to see what Nov. 6 determines, from the day before.

The creative team at Carlisle Arts Learning Center, comprised of Cathy Stone, Abria Donato, Mo Geiger and Rachel O’Connor, recently unveiled an art installation dedicated to “the tense that is yet to be” but has already taken place. “Working Backwards,” the installation’s title, is an all-inclusive excursion traveling to the future, which takes us to the year 2124, complete with “artifacts, packages and paperwork.” All delineate events, ephemera and exculpatory evidence tied to the 100 years that lie before us, allowing mankind to, at the very least, examine life, as it may take from knowing what we know today, being able to change the future free from guilt or regret. We could easily be on the hook for future criminal acts such as ignoring the radical shift in climate change, the economy, public health, immigration and the list goes on. In viewing visual validations of all from the artist across categorical criteria, one can easily conclude history repeats itself time and again. Given a clear glimpse of a century forward, we can alter the trajectory of tried and true into one of tangible transformation.

A wall from the “Walking Backwards” exhibit

Artist and professor Mia Cinelli of Kentucky visited the Carlisle area, collecting objects and ideas in a mudlarking adventure by the Letort Creek before installing her digital exploration into working back to a timeline that mirrors present day. Coupled with satellite installments at the Cumberland County Historical Society and Bosler Library, the exhibits collectively entail “Working Backwards” on view through Sept.14. Based on the brilliant conceptualization and exacting execution of the complete presentation, this study is timely and thought-provoking with more than enough material to build a political platform so convincing a candidate could win election.

Part III: Sneak Peek for September’s First Week

Owner Debbie Smith of her eponymous gallery in New Cumberland is hosting an artist’s reception to kick off the fall art season on Thursday, Sept. 5, from 5 to 7 p.m. at 190 Reno Ave. Her headquarters and art gallery will feature the oil paintings of nature lover, Linda Williard. Be sure to look for detective Benoit Blanc milling around with the guests inspecting the art. Artist Williard paints with a pallet knife—Hollywood may be scouting for a new locale for “Knives Out: Part IV.” Debbie, are you ready to make a cameo appearance?

A painting by Donna Berk Barlup

On Saturday, Sept. 7, the Mechanicsburg Art School and Center (The Red Barn) is hosting the Susquehanna Valley Plein Air Painters in a “Paint Out” from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the grounds at 18 Art Craft Drive. The artist reception will follow from 1 to 3 p.m. A paint out is the artist’s equivalent of a dance off at a nightclub. Come see for yourself and meet these talented artists. Look for local plein air luminaries Donna Berk Barlup, Lina Ferrara, Julie Riker, Susan Begnini-Landis, Kelly Charlesworth, Mary DePalma, Liz Dallucci, Karon Karhuff, Clare Klaum, Cate McKissick, Debbie Thompson and John Capowski. Repeat this five times real fast and then spin around and raise the mast.

Dates to Remember
Sunday, Sept. 8, the 36th Annual Gallery Walk, Harrisburg,12 to 5 p.m.
Saturday, Sept. 14, the 42nd Annual Hummelstown Arts Festival, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
