Johns, who was born in Seaforth and grew up in Mitchell, is as funny in person as his plays are on stage. When asked what it's iike to be the Blyth Festival's most produced playwright ever, Johns answers — without missing a beat — that "it feels a lot better than being the least -produced playwright!" It's evident why Johns is considered such a treasure in Blyth. Not only has he written some of the most consistently entertaining plays during his decades with the theatre but he also works tirelessly, like the farm kid he is, to promote the theatre and its plays. He alternates between being jovial and whimsical and being stone-cold serious about issues that mean something to him, such as the pressures faced by the family farm. Those traits of humour and social consciousness also show up in his new play which is part romance, part comedy and part social commentary. It is mostly, however, a story about people. There aren't too many people who could create a story about romance at a Huron County landfill site but if anybody can pull it off he can. Johns's long list of plays inelude the hard-hitting one-man show The Great School Crisis as well as the popular 'Aylmer' series, He Won't Come in from the Barn and Bamboozled. Johnsalso wrote a play set in Labrador called Naked on the North Shore. When Johns spent time in Labrador the transplanted Perth County farm boy learned what it's like to be an 'outsider' living with a close-knit rural group of people with a complex web of interconnectedness. Johns uses his knowledge of that experience in Cricket and Claudette. The Claudette in the play is a by -the -book urban engineer who deals with a rural landfill site where the people operate from a different book entirely. While she experiences some culture shock dealing with the intricately intertwined local people, the landfill site's Cricket becomes quite enamoured with her. Johns pokes fun at some of our idiosyncracies in the small towns and villages of Huron County but it is with a gentle humour and much compassion. He laughs with his rural neighbours, not at them. One of the central themes of his work, he said, is the complexity of people. "Don't underestimate people," he said. "Don't assume because they're from a simple place or a simple life that they are simple people ... they are enormously complex." Recalling growing up on a farm in Perth County Johns recalls that "back then you could make a living on 50 acres." Johns, who still lives in the area, said he considers himself a defender of a rural culture that is under siege by economic changes. "This culture is under siege," he said. "The big farms are eating the little farms, there aren't enough people for the schools and the little towns ... in some ways I'm kind of compensating for that, I'm trying to defend a culture that's under siege." The idea for Cricket and Claudette began forming in Johns's mind a decade ago when he was writing Jakes Place. At that time landfill sites were running out of space. As the play developed new issues crept in as well, such as amalgamations which resulted in strange municipal bedfellows. Although there's a little bit of social commentary in this play, the new work is mostly about people. Johns calls it "probably the lightest piece I've written since Country Hearts." Cricket and Claudette opens at the Blyth Festival on Aug. 4. It stars Blyth Festival favourites Janet Amos and Jerry Franken. • 14 -hour Walton standoff ends with assault charges Huron OPP A 41 -year-old Walton man was charged with assault after a 14 -hour standoff with Huron OPP when the man locked himself in his house after police were called there during a domestic situation. 4Police arrived at the Brussels Line home at 8:30 a.m. where they were met by a 36 -year-old woman who was living there commonlaw and her sisters. The woman showed signs of physical abuse and was taken to a local hospital to be treated for minor injuries before being released. When officers tried to speak to the 41 -year-old man, they were refused admittance. Over the next several hours, officers tried to negotiate with the man to turn himself over to police. Five officers from the Huron OPP were on the scene most of the day - three stationed on several sides of the house - until the afternoon when one officer with the OPP Canine unit arrived and then again at 10:30 p.m. when the Emergency Response Tqam with four more officers arrived, The standoff ended at 11:30 p.m. when the man turned himself over to police. Other charges laid against the man include assault with a weapon, two counts of assault causing bodily harm, two counts of assault, four counts of uttering death threats, physical harm or damage to property and one count of forcible confinement. The man was held in custody until Tuesday when a bail hearing was held in Goderich. Door damaged in break-in at Archie's Close to $200 in damages was done to the front door at Archie's Service Centre in Seaforth on July 28 but nothing was taken during the break and enter at 4:40 a.m. Huron OPP say the thieves tried to dismantle the alarm system but were unsuccessful and left the gas station in possibly less than a minute. The owner was on the scene in four minutes. Police say the thieves were probably trying to steal cigarettes. Anyone with related information is asked to call the Huron OPP or Crime Stoppers.
