et’s be clear—Sheryl Crow is someone who veers away from the off-stage spotlight whenever she can. As someone who cheerfully admits to “...living with my head in the sand,” she’d be the last person you’d expect to be front and center in a film project. But so it goes with Sheryl, the Amy Scott-directed documentary that recently bowed on Showtime. Featuring present-day interviews with Crow, along with a number of famous friends including Keith Richards, Brandi Carlile, Emmylou Harris, Joe Walsh, Jason Isbell and Laura Dern, this project traces the Missouri native’s path as the piano-playing daughter of big band musicians through the present day. Rather than having it become a sunshine and lollipops kind of hagiography, Scott succeeds at creating a chronological narrative that includes a mix of performances along with insights into obstacles Crow ran into. Among the pitfalls touched on are the alleged sexual abuse from former employer Michael Jackson’s late manager Frank DiLeo (along with battling various forms of sexism while having to constantly prove her mettle as an artist) and Crow having her album banned by Walmart after including a song addressing gun violence that name-checked the big box retailer as a source for purchasing weapons. It was an ambitious project the singer-songwriter wasn’t exactly eager to pursue. “When my manager [Stephen “Scooter” Weintraub] and Van Toffler, who I knew back in the early days from MTV and VH-1, came to me and said they had some interest from Showtime to do a documentary, I was really not on board with it,” Crow admitted. “I felt like I’m a very private person and didn’t feel like a retrospective was in order when I’m still alive and have so many more songs to write. For a while there, I sat with the idea and decided there was a world of story and living that is the story of a person and not necessarily a well-known artist. Everybody who has ever become a public figure has that story, so we dug in and my only prerequisite for it was that I didn’t want it to be a catalog of awards and a review of fantastic appearances. I wanted it to be the story of the person I am.” While Crow was ruminating over whether or not to dive into this documentary, the pandemic proved to be a perfect respite for her and sons Levi and Wyatt. “We kind of sequestered and to have that time where they could experience what it means to be bored and

not be entertained all the time,” she said. “They built a chicken coop, raised baby chicks, planted a garden and we rented an RV, went across the country and adopted a Bernese mountain dog. There were things that wouldn’t have happened and I wouldn’t have traded it. The second half of the pandemic, when they were back in school is when we dug in and started making the documentary.” Having picked Scott after seeing Hal, the latter’s 2018 documentary on late filmmaker Hal Ashby, Crow set to work going through storage, digging up photographs and sitting down and going down memory lane. Crow’s vulnerability is freely expressed, particularly when she recounts experiences like reliving her breast cancer battle along with admitting to suffering from bouts of depression. But it was all in keeping with the sexagenarian rocker’s goal of being honest in telling her story, particularly given how averse Crow is to the limelight. “I’m not a person who reads the press on me,” she said. “I don’t look at footage. It’s more enjoyable for me not to have a critical eye, but to just experience it and feel good about it. It was really fun to remember and see some of that old footage and to experience that it was joyful and it wasn’t the speed crash force in the rise to fame. Or the spinning of plates of how to keep the popularity and then the losing of one’s self. There was a lot of great memories along the way that was hilarious, poignant and fun to see. There were a lot of things I’d forgotten about. And then there are a lot of things that we talked about and that I remembered vividly and aren’t documented because nobody had cell phones. The parties I had at my house—there are so many great things. There were some great fun moments. But a lot of it was also very introspective and [involved] revisiting some hard stuff. There was hours and hours of reflecting and it was exhausting and super-emotional. But in the end, I hate to use that stupid word cathartic, but it was.”

Of course, it wouldn’t mean anything if the music wasn’t the fuel driving this engine starting with early hits like “Leaving Las Vegas,” “All I Wanna Do” and “If It Makes You Happy” through latter-day gems like “Home,” “Soak Up the Sun,” “Redemption Day” and “Prove You Wrong” (featuring Stevie Nicks and Maren Morris). A trio of new songs, “Forever,” “Still the Same” and “Live With Me” proves Crow’s creative spark is still burning strong. And while she publicly said 2019’s Threads was going to be her final album, she intends to continue writing and releasing songs. “It’s so nice to be able to write a song like ‘Forever’ and just put the dang thing out,” she said. “I just want to keep writing and putting songs out. I think putting records out now at my age is a little bit of a waste of time. People don’t listen to a full body of work, in order. I want to keep making music and putting it out. I’m going to do like David Bowie. I’m just going to put songs out every couple of months and people can make their own play lists.” That said, Crow’s year will find her touring with a band and then tentatively planning to go out solo while playing a multitude of instruments. For Crow, it’s less about the spotlight and more about sharing her music, particularly when she was asked what stardom means to her. “Fame is a mind-f***,” she responded. “I’m going to have to put $20 in the swear jar in my kitchen as soon as my kids read this. But seriously, it sounds so hokey, but we’re so grateful to be able to go out and play songs that our audiences, which look like Bonnaroo—there are people there my age with their kids and their kids—who are singing all these lyrics. And it’s just such an unbelievably awesome position to be in—to have songs that are generational and a soundtrack. We go out there and play our hearts out and it’s so much fun. It’s a different show. We’re so committed and so present. It’s a good time.”

Faulkner Among The Ruins: The Tragedian BY JOE SCOTCHIE

jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

uinten Compson is the character that ties Faulkner’s two masterpieces, The Sound And The Fury (1929) and Absalom, Absalom! (1936) together. Read in sequence, Absalom, although published seven years later, should be read first. By telling the story of the doomed Sutpen family, Quinten is haunted by his own failures as a man, mainly his inability to defend his older sister’s honor. Then comes The Sound And The Fury for Quinten to causally detail his forthcoming suicide. Thomas Sutpen, the main character in Absalom, Absalom! is the West Virginia mountaineer determined to join the aristocrats. Rebuffed by his fellow Virginians, Sutpen is a man possessed. He makes his own fortune, acquires his own slaves and set offs toward northern Mississippi to construct his own mansion, Along the way, Sutpen makes a detour in Haiti, where he fights bravely in a civil war and fathers a son with an octoroon woman. In Mississippi, Sutpen marries and raises a family that includes a son,

Henry, and his daughter, Judith. The past comes back to haunt him. The Haitian lad, Charles, turns up at the Sutpen plantation, having met Henry at the University of Mississippi. Henry and Judith are mesmerized by Charles. An Ashley Wilkes-type, full of charm and derring-do, Charles turns Sutpen’s world upside down. The novel’s title comes from an Old Testament story about Absalom, a son of King David, who also yearns for an heir. Incest, miscegenation, and violence make their way into the novel. Charles courts Judith. Marriage is next. Sutpen, knowing that Charles is both a half-sibling to Judith and a mulatto to boot, cancels any wedding plans. Does Charles lose his aplomb? Does he taunt Henry over his romance with Judith? Henry’s manhood is now on the line. War intercedes. The Sutpen men serve with distinction with the patriarch receiving a hand-written note

FAULKNER from page 4A from Robert E. Lee. After the war, Henry’s moment of truth arrives. He does avenge his sister, but through most dishonorable means, shooting Charles in the back. The Sutpen family collapses. Henry flees the country. Judith perishes during an outbreak of yellow fever. The elderly Sutpen is undaunted. He remains fixated on fathering an heir. An old man, he seduces a teenage girl. The girl has a father. Sutpen becomes the second Sutpen man to meet a violent end. Sutpen, Charles, Henry, Judith—all dead. The mansion is burned to the ground. No wonder that Faulkner’s scholarship rivals that of Shakespeare. With Absalom, Absalom! the man went into the ring with The Bard—and scored some real points. For Cleanth Brooks, Faulkner’s most profound critic, the novel is much more than Southern gothic, “Sutpen’s virtues are those of a typical twentieth-century man. So are his vices—his dismissal of the past, his commitment to the future, and his confidence that, with courage and know-how, he can accomplish literally anything.” Quinten Compson acts as the novel’s main narrator. Sutpen’s second wife, Rosa Coldfield, has summoned Quentin to tell him the Sutpen story, hoping that the young man might someday record it. Instead, Quentin talks about the drama all evening on a cold New England night, coming to terms, tragically, with his failed manhood. Henry is a man of action. Quinten flashes back to his adolescence when local men had their way with his older sister, the stunning Candance (“Caddy”). He must fight at least one of them to save his sister’s honor. Quinten is beaten and humiliated by one Dalton Ames, a man who had impregnated Caddy. Henry fought and “won.” Quinten was beaten. He can’t go on. In The Sound And The Fury, the Compson family represents the landed gentry Faulkner revered. The downfall of the Compson family is especially moving. The reader knows that the best of America is passing with them. The Compsons have three surviving children: Jason, the embittered older brother; Candance, the young siren who flies the family nest and Benjy, the 36-year-old man-child. Before leaving town, “Caddy” gave birth to a girl she named after her dead brother. The girl is now 17 and set to leave the haunted household. Benjy is protected by his minder, Luster, and the latter’s mother, Dilsey, the maid who tries to keep the household together. Jason is resentful. Spoiled by his mother, he lives at home, works at a department store, frequents local brothels and dreams of making a killing on Wall Street. He, too, is a modern, 1920s-style character: America, he grouses, is now the “land of the wop and the home of the kike.” An anonymous “New York jew” prevents him from cashing in on his investments. Caddy has fled. Jason now must look

after her daughter, while keeping an eye on the retarded Benjy. He hates his life and blames others for his fate. Since Quentin’s suicide, Mr. Compson succumbs to alcoholism. The female Quinten takes her life savings of $3,000 (serious money in those days) and tries to run off with a traveling showman. Jason wants the money for himself. Benjy and Dilsey retain their humanity. Both can give and receive love. Dilsey takes Benjy to her Easter Sunday service, dismissing the gossip of black parishioners over a retarded white man in their midst. The novel begins and ends with Benjy howling away. Its beginning remains unforgettable. Luster is scouring the rough of a local golf course, looking for stray golf balls he can trade in for coins to go to the motion pictures. On the links, golfers are yelling “caddy.” Benjy thinks that they are addressing his long-lost sister. On he goes, howling away. At the end, Luster drives Benjy home from the services. He makes a wrong turn and Benjy, his world out of joint again, howls on until Jason steps in and sets things right. Is Jason that bad? When need be, he is a reluctant lifeline to his younger brother. As with Absalom, Absalom! Cleanth Brooks believes the novel has a universal theme. “The book is…about the disintegration of a family, a tradition, and of a culture,” he observes. “The Southern setting… renders these lesions…more poignantly…because the South…is stubbornly traditional…and old-fashioned. But the disintegrating forces…are national and international.” Of the two, The Sound And The Fury is the easier read. All you need to do is turn off the television set and read the first chapter. You’ll remember the experience for the rest of your life. I guarantee it.

Getting Literary And Lunar With The Tedeschi-Trucks Band BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

f necessity is the mother of invention, then the isolation of the pandemic proved to be the rocket fuel for the Tedeschi-Trucks Band’s most ambitious project—the four-part opus I Am the Moon. Divided into I. Crescent, II. Ascension, III. The Fall and IV. Farewell, the duodecet’s fifth studio release was inspired by the same 12th century Persian poem that inspired the title track to the Derek and the Dominos 1970 opus Layla and Other Love Songs. Susan Tedeschi, who co-leads the 12-piece with husband Derek Trucks, still sounds a bit awestruck by the magnitude and complexity of an undertaking that came together as the TTB was trying to navigate getting through COVID-19 when all touring came to a screeching halt. “The pandemic was a good time to really sit back, look and re-evaluate,” Tedeschi explained. “At the same time, we did take care of our band and crew, even though we didn’t work for 18 months. While we had no money coming in, we did have some saved as a band. Primarily because we had lost Kofi [Burbridge] (Ed. note: The longtime band member died in 2019 at the age of 57) and we realized you get medical bills, things happen and you have to have money saved. Thank God we did. Then we had some help from the government and then we would sell our personal stuff to keep food on the table for everyone. A lot of our band and crew have kids—we were just making it through and keeping the dialogue open. Mike Mattison, being our Harvard grad of course, said we needed a project. He suggested we all dive into the original ‘Layla and Majnun’ poem from 12th century poet Nizami Ganjavi.” When the musical collective agreed to dive into these heady waters, the approach was to have all the band members read the poem and start writing. An early creative direction was rather than having it come from the man’s point of view, the decision was to view the songs from Layla’s perspective and how other people in the story may have viewed this relationship. The ideas started to flow and before long, the amount of material quickly piled up “We just kept writing while it was organically growing because we wanted to see where it was going to take us,” Tedeschi said. “When we started recording, we had a lot of songs [and realized] it was too much for a double-album because it wouldn’t all fit on a record. We weren’t sure if we were going to cut it down because we didn’t have any songs that we thought were fluff. They were all really great. So we made it

into four records because we realize some of the best records like Axis: Bold As Love are only about 35 to 40 minutes long, which is a good amount to enjoy the music. Otherwise, you get overwhelmed with too much information because it’s too much stuff. Honestly, that was happening in the studio when we were doing it. I’d be asking what a particular song was. I couldn’t keep up with all these songs and there were so many of them. I was just having to do one a time and take my time.” While the earliest cracks at I Am the Moon started in July 2020, it wouldn’t be until January of this year when all four movements would be completed. Adding to the unique approach is a visual component in the shape of I Am the Moon: The Film, which has four parts attached to each album and all of the songs. Directed by documentary filmmaker/author/television writer Alix Lambert, the films are debuting on YouTube concurrent with each record’s release. It’s yet another quirky component Tedeschi is completely enamored with.

“During the pandemic, people were waiting for The Mandalorian to come out every two weeks or whatever and you’d get 30 or 40 minutes to ingest and enjoy it before you’re on to the next [episode],” she explained. “Not unlike these records that are coming out a month apart, it gives you something to look forward to. The other thing too is having it come out on YouTube live for free as a listening experience is something everyone can do together as a society—we have people all over the world in places like Japan and Brazil watching at the same time as people in California and Massachusetts were. Some people woke up in the middle of the night to see it. And then people would watch it the next day or whenever on YouTube. It was just a really cool, weird and different way to do it. We’ve gotten so much positive feedback from it.” In taking this out on the road, Tedeschi admits the TTB aren’t trotting any new material out until after the albums are released (“If you do that before it comes out,

everybody tapes it and it’ll be on YouTube and it won’t be fresh or new.”) That said, fans will have plenty to look forward to from the annual Wheels of Soul summer tour that’ll find them joined by Los Lobos to the multiple Beacon Theatre fall dates. “On the summer tour, our set is about an hour and 45 minutes and we’ll probably do a mix of all different things,” Tedeschi said. “Maybe a couple of songs from each of our albums like Revelator, Made Up Mind, Signs—whatever. And a couple of covers sprinkled in like Derek and the Dominos and some Allman Brothers. Then, we’ll do some of the new stuff. And whatever record is out, we’ll be able to introduce those songs. Derek is usually our set-list writer, so a lot of times you just don’t know until the day of. Last year I think we played 88 different songs during the Beacon run and now we have 125 songs. We’ll mix it up and it’ll be different and fun. It’s not predictable. Some bands will have the same set list every night and I don’t know how they do that every night. Aren’t you bored with yourself? This band doesn’t like to get bored.” The Tedeschi Trucks Band will be appearing with Los Lobos on July 10 at the Great South Bay Music Festival, Shorefront Park, Patchogue.

These Speakeasies Are The Bees’ Knees

BY EMMA DUFFY

editors@antonmediagroup.com

he past is very much alive in New York. The honored speakeasies of the Prohibition era are still around today and can be found in both New York City and Long Island. Under years of unrelenting pressure from the Temperance movement, the government caved to pass the 18th Amendmen t. With its passage, the manufacture, sale and transportation of liquor ground to a halt. While those who pushed for Temperance felt triumphant, the rest of America refused to abide by the new law of the land. Not surprisingly, crime skyrocketed as people refused to stop drinking and instead took their drinking underground. New York became the epicenter of organized crime and during the height of Prohibition, there were 32,000 speakeasies in the state. The ratification of the 21st Amendment ended the need for speakeasies. However, that does not mean they lost their charm. There are two speakeasies in New York City that have stayed in business all this time since prohibition; one of which is The Back Room. The Back Room is open at 6 p.m. every day for customers to come and enjoy a taste of the past. There is not usually a password, but sometimes the doorman will heckle guests before allowing them in. If there is a password, it is most likely in use on Monday nights. On these nights at 9 p.m. there is live jazz. Admission is free and the password is posted on Facebook and Instagram. The Back Room oozes history and while there is seemingly nothing special about the exterior, once you enter the speakeasy, there is no doubt you are in the right place. The Back Room’s interesting

Charlotte’s Speakeasy’s spacious seating area matched with walls lined with vintage photos from the DeVito family and a vintage tin ceiling. (Photo by Emma Duffy) history includes it being one of two speakeasies that have stayed in existence since the 1920s. During the Roaring Twenties, a number of infamous gangsters regularly held meetings at the speakeasy. Meyer Lansky, Lucky Luciano, Bugsy Siegel, Frank Costello all enjoyed an illegal libation at The Back Room. That being said, there is definitely a bit of tainted history behind this bar. “A gangster was shot, right in front of here,” Back Room Event Coordinator/Manager Megan Bones said. “So people were really actually doing horrible things and we really did have those gangsters in our bar.” If the drinks and the history are not enough, Bones thinks there are other reasons people come to The Back Room. “People always want to go where they’re not supposed to go,” she said. Similar historic options are available for those who don’t want to leave Long Island for the experience. Charlotte’s Speakeasy in Farmingdale has reopened a historic space to complement the ice cream shop that stands above.

Charlotte’s Speakeasy is open on weekends and some Thursdays. Upon entering, it just looks like a normal ice cream parlor. However, at a bookcase that doubles as a hidden door, a bouncer will ask you for $5 and a password to enter. The password can be found on the website or if you are extremely stuck, people at the register will help out. This speakeasy was not always part of the plan. Upon buying the ice cream shop, it just looked like there were useless cellar doors in the back. Even after walking down the back steps, the basement did not seem like it was worth anything but storage. All of this changed when Mayor Ralph Ekstrand entered the ice cream shop and asked how they liked having a speakeasy in their basement. Brothers John and Nick DeVito, who own the shop, knew that it would be an expensive endeavor to open the place, but it would be worth it. It was important to the siblings to keep the history intact while renovating the space. The original tin ceiling from the 1920s is still in use. And while some of the posts

in the basement were torn down to make room, none off them were thrown out. They were re-purposed and the wooden posts are currently holding up the candles while the bar was constructed out of the recycled material. “What used to hold up the ceiling is now holding up your drinks,” DeVito said. The history of the place is felt by all who come, but especially by psychics. One visiting medium said she heard the previous owner speaking to her while she walked along the escape route. “She said, ‘He’s very happy you brought this place back. He feels alive again.’,” DeVito said. People come for the fun, the live jazz music, drinks, company, history and much more. There is something for everyone at Charlotte’s Speakeasy. They have noted that they have a very diverse crowd. This idea has astounding similarities to speakeasies in the past in which everyone came together, including women being at bars for the first time. They are glad to have people from all different ages and racial and cultural backgrounds. “Our place is a kind of welcome to everybody and it’s funny to see when you come down those stairs. Whoever you are, you’ll see yourself down here,” DeVito said. Visit www.longislandweekly.com to read a longer version of this story.

Top 10 Baseball Caps Of All-Time BY CARTER GIL DE RUBIO editors@antonmediagroup.com

When it comes to sports apparel, baseball is in a league of its own. While the stylish jerseys can make for nice casual wear, it’s the caps that have truly taken on a life of their own. They’ve become representative of more than just a person’s allegiance to their favorite team, stretching out into social movements and pop culture expression. Major League Baseball has seen many hats come and go, and everyone has their favorites. Here is a modest list of the 10 best baseball caps of all time.

Atlanta Braves (1972-1980)

New York Yankees (1915-Present)

The unique “softball uniforms” the Atlanta Braves rocked in the ’70s gave way to their most colorful look in franchise history. This was the logo and cap Hank Aaron wore when he passed Babe Ruth, that lowercase “A” being the lasting image of one of baseball’s most historic moments. It’s a funky, stylish reminder of a decade built on individuality and pop.

Simple, yet enduring. The New York Yankees have sported this look for over a century, and it’s easy to see why. Not only is it the logo of the most accomplished sports franchise in history, but it’s become synonymous with hip-hop and urban culture as a whole. From Times Square to the Great Wall of China, you’ll find someone wearing this hat even if they aren’t a Yankees fan.

Arizona Diamondbacks (1995-2007)

Miami Marlins (2012)

Nowadays, the Diamondbacks are known for their deep crimson color pallet. But before that change in the mid-2000s. their uniforms sported teal, gold and purple. It was a unique set that to this day has yet to be matched and it showed in their caps. A variation of this look was what the team wore when they won their only World Series in 2001, but this colorful cap was certainly the basis for what came next.

Only worn for two games in their inaugural season under their new “Miami Marlins” branding, this citrus-colored hat was the perfect embodiment of the all-sizzle, no-pop team of that season. The bright color scheme was a bold yet perfect representation of the city of Miami, which makes it all the more painful we only got to see them worn in-game twice.

Los Angeles Angels (1961-1964)

Chicago White Sox (1982-1986; 2013-Present)

Back in the ’80s, the White Sox abandoned their monochromatic color scheme. This resulted in a simple, yet sleek design that gave the South Siders a distinct look and feel all their own. While short lived, back in 2013 the team brought the look back as an alternate uniform and gave a whole new generation of fans a chance to see their best look.

Montreal Expos (1969-2004)

Losing Montreal’s baseball team was a tragedy for baseball. Even worse was losing these incredible caps. The bright red, white and blue pops with color and immediately attracts the eye and is a stylish look with just about any outfit. The logo also holds complexity too, as the colors inside the giant M spell out the initials “E” and “B”, a subtle way of having the cap say “Montreal Expos Baseball” without drawing too much attention away from the M itself.

Milwaukee Brewers (1978-1993; 2020-Present)

Back when the Brewers were an American League team and banging on the walls of every stadium on their way to the 1982 American League pennant, Milwaukee was rocking an iconic look that defined the greatest era of their franchise’s history. The baseball glove logo created with the “M” and “B” is one of the most creative design choices in the sport. It was brought back permanently only a couple of years ago and baseball has been better for it since.

It’s rare that the original model is the best, but these old-school Angels caps felt as if they were blessed by heaven itself. While the logo might be reminiscent of their crosstown rivals, the real standout is the gold piping on the top of the hat that is supposed to be the halo to their angelic attire. It’s a unique classic that should have been around much longer than only their first three years of existence.

Pittsburgh Pirates (1976-1987)

The unique box shape. The piping. Stargell’s Star’s decorating the sides and brims. The look of one of the most iconic teams in baseball history. There was nothing like it before and there was nothing like it since. What more could you ask?

Baltimore Orioles (1975-1989; 2012-Present)

The charm of their logo does a great job of masking the poor play on the field. The bright orange and white contrasts perfectly with the harsh black within and was the look and feel of some of this franchise’s bests moments. After a brief stint with a realistic oriole logo in the ’90s and aughts, the O’s brought back this iconic look a decade ago and it has endured since.

Home Price Increases Less Than One Percent

neKey MLS is the one source real estate marketplace for monthly statistics for residential real estate transactions from Montauk to Manhattan, north through the Hudson Valley and the Catskill Mountains. For April 2022, OneKey MLS reported a regional closed median sale price of $580,000, representing a $5,000 increase in the closed median sale price, or less than one percent higher than the reported figure in March 2022. Between March and April 2022, closed regional sales transactions, including residential, condo, and co-op sales, decreased to 4,629 from 5,264, representing a 12.1 percent month-over-month change. OneKey® MLS, the largest MLS in New York, aggregates the real estate transactional data from nine counties making up the regional MLS coverage area and reports individually on each county represented. The infographic demonstrates month-over-month closed median home price comparisons for the region. Whereas six of nine counties reported an increased closed median sale price, three of nine counties reported a decrease. Sullivan (22.3 percent), Westchester (9.3 percent), Orange (3.4 percent), Nassau (2.50 percent), Suffolk (2.4 percent), and Rockland (0.80 percent) Counties had month-over-month increases in closed median sale price. Queens (-7.90 percent), Bronx (-8.80 percent), and Putnam (-10.30 percent) Counties had month-over-month decreases. “In April, month-over-month regional home price gain was consistent with the slowing pace of the last several months of less than one percent month-over-month growth, an indication that the impact of inflation and rapidly rising mortgage rates are eroding the purchasing power from some would-be homeowners,” Jim Speer, CEO, OneKey MLS, said. “Home prices can’t exceed a buyer’s ability to pay, so with inflation and interest rates on the rise, we can expect to see home price appreciation continue slowing in part across our region.” Visit www.onekeymls.com/market-statistics for more statistical information about residential, condo and co-op sales transaction. —OneKey MLS

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In regard to this goal you hold so dear, it will dawn on you that mere competence will not be enough to get you where you want to go with it. You’ll see the benefit of adopting a long-term perspective, as reaching mastery will be a step-by-step-process, a discipline and probably even a lifestyle. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Obviously, you’d like to see all the lovely places and people you possibly can in your lifetime, but your first priority is to make your home environment a beautiful destination. As you approach the goal from multiple angles this week, you will simultaneously improve the emotional and aesthetic environment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). While often neutrality saves time and trouble, what’s going on now is different. This one is worth getting involved in, and you’ll avoid future regret by first trying to understand it better and then helping out the side who needs you. This is about defending the defenseless. Plan your next move, but don’t make it yet. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have to buy the whole box of cereal even if all you really want is the marshmallow charms; so it goes in relationships. There’s something to wade through to get to the sweetest part. If it weren’t so, you might just get a toothache from all the sugar. You’ll appreciate the balance of desirable and less desirable qualities. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Truly, to know a person is to love them. Taking the time to gain an intimate understanding of someone is an act of devotion. It is not only your personal experience that teaches you. Social options of this week offer a chance to see a person in various contexts and through other people’s eyes. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You could settle into the mood of a place, but that leaves too much to chance. So instead, you’ll take charge of the environments you’re in this week, creating your preferred emotional temperature, which you’ll decide before you ever even get there. Truly, you bring the weather with you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). This is your lucky week for dropping a fear. It’s much more simply done than you imagined it would be -- an action that’s brave and strong yet takes absolutely no effort or courage, only a decision to relax. Instructions: Imagine the fear is in your hand, and then let it go limp and fall away. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You may never agree with certain people who you work or live near, yet you will be strategic, flowing good energy to head off future bad vibes. You’ll be ready to stand when it matters, though in many instances you’ll find freedom in cautiously watching them exhaust their own energy in nonsense. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Problems that seem impossible to solve are solved every day. You’re closer to answers than you think, so don’t give up, but do relax because ideas about what to try next will come to you in stress-free moments -- for instance, while in the shower. It will also help to open your realm of influence.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Your solar return energy swirls around finance first; you’ll take a risk on a lucrative opportunity and win. You’ll dream both silly and practical things and attract collaborators with your blend of quirkiness and logic. A new friendship will spark exciting escapades and mutually fulfilling joint ventures. More highlights: the keen sensitivity to sniff out the truth in just about any situation, comfortable time with your favorite companions and a deal in which you expect nothing and get everything.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You go into relationships and other endeavors with openness and optimism. This does not preclude you from having a backup strategy. In fact, sometimes the Plan B in your pocket gives you confidence. A friend with a talent for identifying potential problems can help you avoid trouble. Run your plans by this person.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Desire brings its frustrations, but whether you get what you want or not, just wanting is a gift. It is lucky to know yourself and be in touch with your own appetites and preferences. Keep going. You will find satisfaction. In the meantime, could you celebrate your drive as a signal that you’re alive and on purpose?

Freak hands produce freak results, as witness this deal from the World Pair Olympiad many years ago. All kinds of results occurred at the 30 tables where the hand was played, but we report here only those of two American pairs who sat EastWest. At one table, with Robert Jordan and Arthur Robinson sitting EastWest, the bidding went as shown. The artificial two-diamond bid by North showed game-going strength but not necessarily diamonds. Jor-

dan then leaped to five diamonds, partly in the hope of making it and partly to jam the bidding. He later doubled six hearts but wound up taking second money when the Dutch declarer lost only a spade trick and scored 1,210 points. In fact, South would have made an overtrick if Robinson had led a diamond instead of a club. The other American pair, Marshall Miles and Phil Feldesman, had far better luck. The bidding at their table went: West North East South Pass 2♦ 5♦ Pass 7♦ Dble Here West, after South had passed, added a second pre-emptive bid to his partner’s. Over seven diamonds, North, who had not yet shown either of his suits, found himself completely frustrated. He doubled, for want of anything better to do, and everyone passed. South had to make a blind opening lead and, after great travail, selected the jack of spades. This allowed declarer to score four spade tricks instead of three, and he eventually got rid of his club loser on dummy’s seven of spades to make the grand slam for a score of 1,630 points! This was 2,840 points better than their compatriots had done with exactly the same cards!
