Fidel Verdin and Shalina S. Ali of Circulate MKE

Breaking Down the Barriers with a New Kind of Market !"#!$%&'()*+(),((+,)'-)!.&/0() *"%1&$+((2,)(!-/-*3!::BY ERIN BLOODGOOD

n Milwaukee, most people stay in the areas of town where they are comfortable—with the people that match their economic status and skin color. That’s been the norm in this city, but Shalina S. Ali and Fidel Verdin are working hard to change that culture.

In 2015, these two community organizers started Circulate MKE, a creative entrepreneur market that connects small vendors from different corners of the city to shoppers. Circulate MKE has always been more than the standard pop-up market because Ali and Verdin have made a point to host their events in vacant spaces located in various communities, whether they be black, brown, white or anything else. In doing so, their market brings new business to those spaces and to the surrounding neighborhood.

Their intention from the beginning has been to create connections among different groups of people and to support small vendors with the business tools they need. In the minds of Ali and Verdin, segregation stems from economics, so that’s where they decided to focus their energy. If they could influence people to spend their money locally and in neighborhoods that need a stronger economy, then maybe we could take a step in the right direction of fixing the city’s segregation problem.

How it All Started.

!"#$% &'(")'% *+,-.% /01% 2#3% 4')31#% 5')'% fighting for equal opportunities in the city.

As two people of color, they see Milwaukee in a different light than most affluent white residents who live in majority-white areas such as Downtown or the East Side. They grew up in neighborhoods with fewer resources and vital institutions such as banks and supermarkets. This has been a systemic, national problem for decades, based largely in the history of redlining, which often led to minority communities being denied access to services.

Many of Milwaukee’s residents live with the effects of our country’s institutional racism and consequently have to travel farther to access a bank, healthcare office or supermarket. Not only do they have to travel downtown for the necessities, but most theaters, restaurants and other entertainment are in more affluent parts of the city. Residents from lower-income neighborhoods have to spend their money in other areas of the city, but residents from neighborhoods with plenty of resources don’t ever have a reason to travel to poor black neighborhoods. As Verdin sees it, “[The city] only became racially segregated because of money.”

Ali and Verdin saw economics divide people their whole lives, so they began thinking of ways economics could bring people together. The idea for Circulate MKE first came to fruition because Ali would purchase all her jewelry, lotions and other material goods from makers she knew from her communities. Friends would constantly ask her where her earrings and other products came from, and she would introduce them to her vendors. She soon realized there was an opportunity to connect people on a larger scale that would allow her to help both the vendors and the buyers.

The moment she ran the idea past Verdin, he was committed. The two began brainstorming on how to get people to spend their money on local vendors in a way that distributes wealth equally throughout the city. They wanted both dollars and ideas to circulate.

“It’s about shared resources and being able to work together as entrepreneurs and startups, or just craft people,” says Verdin. Most importantly, the markets had to be nondiscriminatory and accessible to everyone, so from the beginning, they did not charge the vendors or shoppers to participate.

Location Matters.

It was important for the market to represent and include all the communities in Milwaukee as well as to create economic growth for everyone. Verdin and Ali decided the only way to accomplish that was by moving the location around the city. They would approach

THE MARKETS HAVE STARTED TO BREAK DOWN BARRIERS. VERDIN AND ALI KNOW THAT WHITE PEOPLE OFTEN AVOID INNER-CITY NEIGHBORHOODS BECAUSE THEY DON’T FEEL SAFE, BUT CIRCULATE MKE HAS BEEN SHOWING PEOPLE THAT THOSE FEARS AND PREJUDICES ARE ONLY IN OUR HEADS. !"#$%&' !(' )*+,-+#.&' /01/' "$%$#2/' )$+#.' *&$-' 1#-' 1&3' /0$4' /!' *&$' /0$+%' &516$' (!%' /0$' 4137 $%2&'41%3$/8'90$:'01;$')$$#'1),$'/!')%+#.'#$"' )*&+#$&&'/!'*#*&$-'&516$&'1%!*#-'/0$'6+/:'"0+,$' 6%$1/+#.'%$,1/+!#&0+5&'"+/0')*+,-+#.'!"#$%&8 <;$%:' #$"' ,!61/+!#' 6%$1/$-' 4!%$' 1"1%$7 #$&&' (!%' =+%6*,1/$' >?<' "0+,$' 1,&!' )%+#.+#.' +#' #$"' ;$#-!%&' 1#-' 6*&/!4$%&8' 90$' %$.*,1%' )+74!#/0,:'41%3$/'/!!3'5,16$'(!%'1)!*/'/0%$$' :$1%&@' )*/' 5$!5,$' )$.1#' /!' 6%$1/$' /0$+%' !"#' ;$%&+!#&' !(' /0$' 41%3$/@' -$;$,!5+#.' 1' 6*,/*%$' (!%' 5!57*5' 6%1(/' 41%3$/&' +#' >+,"1*3$$8' =+%7 culate MKE now operates only about five of /0$+%' !"#' 41%3$/&' $;$%:' :$1%' )$61*&$' /0$:' 1%$' (!6*&+#.' !#' -$;$,!5+#.' /0$' &3+,,&' !(' /0$' )*&+#$&&' !"#$%&@' 1,,!"+#.' /0$4' /!' .!' +#' /0$' -+%$6/+!#'/0$:'5,$1&$8'90$'-+;$%&$'$;$#/&'01;$' &/+4*,1/$-' #$"' $6!#!4+6' 16/+;+/:' +#' !(/$#7 (!%.!//$#'51%/&'!('/0$'6+/:'1#-'.1;$'5$!5,$'1' %$1&!#' /!' 6%!&&' /0$' +#;+&+),$' ,+#$&' /01/' >+,7 "1*3$$'&$$4&'/!'01;$8

n addition to its human toll, Covid-19 is a study in the psychology of fear.

At the extreme, we find some folks captive to near hysteria. This mindset is fed by emotional hijacking combined with the suspicion that what one is being told paints a rosier picture than what’s really happening out there. Runaway, irrational fear gets people to do over-the-top things, like sequester themselves, compulsively sanitize everything, repeatedly check their temperature, wear face masks unnecessarily, hoard supplies and the like.

At the other end of this emotional spectrum reside those who downplay or dismiss any risk from a potentially lethal disease with a far higher mortality rate than influenza. Almost every major human calamity is preceded by these, “What, me worry?” types. Perhaps we will be spared a catastrophe comparable to the Spanish flu (which killed 50 million worldwide and 675,000 in the US), but being too cavalier is an invitation to suffer one.

Then, of course, there are delusional conspiracy theorists who believe this is a weaponized virus released by the Chinese. Were that so, it would be far more lethal. Another popular paranoia is that it’s media-induced hysteria designed to undermine Trump’s strongest election play, the economy. Tell that to the people who are sick and dying. Then, there are the racist thugs who have attacked Asian Americans as if they are somehow to blame for a virus. Madness. The kind that makes it challenging to remain hopeful about our species.

What most of us feel is something between measured concern and festering anxiety, and that can fluctuate based on the news of the day. But, regardless of one’s degree of disquiet, its source resides within the DNA of our species. We humans have a long, anguished and sorrowful history associated with contagion.

Memories of the Plague

Until recently, humanity has been all but defenseless against the ravages wrought by malevolent pathogens. Even today, as virulent bacteria grow more resistant to antibiotics, we are losing the capacity to defend ourselves from the microbial menaces in our midst. And now, there’s a new one.

Deep within our collective unconscious (a subliminal bond that links us all) there remain the memories of pestilence from times past. From the Black Death that felled half of Europe’s population in the 14th century and the aforementioned Spanish flu to the epidemics of polio that swept America until vaccination began in the 1950s, we have learned the hard way what to fear.

So, when you feel that quiver of apprehension or outright jolt of fright over Covid-19, remember it erupts from a primordial place. It differs markedly from the dread of facing a predator, for example; something our ancestors did frequently. Why? Because it’s particularly unnerving to fight what you can’t see. Invisible adversaries leave us feeling defenseless.

How can we push back against irrational fear? It seems prudent to embrace two paths—one of caring connection and the other of evidence-based vigilance. Pandemics fuel social distancing and wariness toward others, which, in turn, escalate isolation and loneliness. Facing this threat without the psychological comfort of strength in numbers and a “We’re all in this together” attitude elevates fear and paranoia. Social distancing often proves necessary, but at least we possess the technology to remain engaged and connected in digital spaces, if not physical ones.

What’s more, we need to reign in our anxiety with facts. The more we know about the science (as opposed to rumors and conspiracy theories) behind Covid-19, the more control and less fear we will feel. As Sun Tzu, author of The Art of War, said, “If ignorant both of your enemy and yourself, you are certain to be in peril.” Essentially, we need to understand both this new pathogen and how our angst toward it can lead us astray.

This disease is a tough enough adversary in its own right. We don’t need to compound the challenge by letting our fears carry the day.

The Benefits of Marijuana Legalization

(

::BY SHEILA JULSON

::BY JEAN-GABRIEL FERNANDEZ

s more farmers, retailers and processors enter the booming cannabis market, a growing number of attorneys, insurance and financial firms are tailoring their businesses to specifically serve the niche cannabis industry.

One of those is Adam Syvock, owner of Infinity Accounting, who started a separate entity, Cannabis Accounting LLC (W177 N9886 Rivercrest Drive, Suite 260, Germantown, Wis.) in 2018 to help cannabis-related businesses.

The idea for Cannabis Accounting was prompted by a friend of Syvock’s who had gotten a license to sell medical cannabis in Illinois. “He called me and asked if I knew how to do accounting for that particular industry,” Syvock says. “I told him I would research it.” He began educating himself on cannabis accounting, researching federal and state laws and tax codes.

Through Cannabis Accounting, Syvock serves industrial hemp farmers, cannabidiol (CBD) retailers, processors and extractors, as well as cannabis businesses in states where it is fully legal. He provides bookkeeping, accounting, tax preparation, planning, payroll services, financial advisory analysis and profit consulting. He also helps companies to think about and plan for long-term growth.

With cannabis being a specialized industry operating under a nationwide patchwork of continuously changing laws and regulations, Syvock notes it’s advantageous for cannabis businesses to have an accountant specifically for that industry. Regarding industrial hemp and CBD, as it applies in Wisconsin, Syvock will educate hemp farmers and processors on how to measure their yields and profitability.

Cash Flow

“In terms of CBD retail, we’ll manage their cash flow, because banking and credit card processing is still an issue,” he explains. “Some banks have opened their doors to welcome the hemp community, but we’re still in the infancy stages of that. I get them to think about cash ledgers; CBD retailers are still heavily reliant on cash in a lot of places, so I make sure they are accounting for their cash properly so if they are audited, everything is prepared and there will be no question marks.”

With medical or recreational marijuana, it’s a whole different ball game. Syvock cites the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) code, section 280E, which forbids businesses in that industry from deducting ordinary business expenses from income associated with “dealing or trafficking” of Schedule I or II substances defined under the Controlled Substances Act—including marijuana.

“That did also apply to industrial hemp, but under the 2018 farm bill, when industrial hemp was taken off the Controlled Substances list, it’s no longer subjected to 280E; but there are still some things in there [that affect industrial hemp],” he explains. “Also, nobody has ever received any guidance as far as what the Food and Drug Administration is planning on doing with CBD or hemp as a whole, so I can imagine that they are going to come out with regulations, guidelines and compliance portions. Another thing we help our legal cannabis clients with is to maintain their compliance and analysis sheets, keeping those more organized, so if there are any questions, we can answer them right away.”

Syvock spends a lot of time reading to keep up on the ever-changing cannabis industry. “There are eight to 10 court cases every year that have new implications on hemp, especially this 280E section. If the federal government were to make all cannabis legal today, there would be no issue with 280E, but since we’re not in that reality, businesses have to consider how they are going to account for that.”

He notes some companies try to file standard tax returns or get around 280E, but if they get audited, that could result in penalties.

“What drew me to this is the challenge of it and the uniqueness of the industry in terms of the accounting portion of it,” he concludes.

Diners won’t really find anything else Greek there, but there’s plenty else on offer for hungry patrons. Still, why not try the gyros? Though they are available in the form of pita sandwiches with vegetables and tzatziki sauce, King’s gyro breakfast options are intriguing. Strips of gyro served with eggs fried to your liking go by the luggage-referencing name of The Samsonite.

The gyro skillet offers an even heartier repast, wherein copious meat, tomato slices, onion slivers and feta cheese crumbles are piled on a heap of softly fried hash browns, all topped by a trio of eggs.

Those not hungering for gyros have a bevy of club sandwiches, hamburgers and specialty sandwiches such as a Reuben, Monte Cristo and Philly beef to choose from. In nods to morning meals with broader international flair, King also purveys eggs served with kielbasa and chorizo (the latter is only served with scrambled eggs).

uckily for generations of beer lovers, Frederick Pabst !"!#$%& stick to his first career as a cap' tain. While manning vessels for the Goodrich Steamship Line, legend has it that one day, a treacherous storm forced Captain Pabst to beach his ship, the Seabird, on the sands of Whitefish Bay. Cap' tain Pabst saved everyone on board, but he de' cided to step away from the helm and take up his father-in-law on an offer to buy half of his Phillip Best Brewing Company.

The rest, as they say, is history. But it’s those pre-Pabst Blue Ribbon days from Captain Pabst’s youth that are honored at Captain Pabst Pilot House (1037 W. Juneau Ave.), formerly known as Pabst Milwaukee Brewery & Taproom. With the rebranding, Pabst has also launched a craft beer line, Captain Pabst, with its flagship IPA, Seabird.

“We’re creating the storyline behind Captain Pabst,” says Adam Powers, the taproom’s general manager. “Ev' erything in here is geared around him, the myth, the legend; this place is tell' ing the story of when his parents came from Germany, up to the Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR) point. When PBR came out, that’s when the story ends, because that’s a whole different brand—still !"# brand, but we’re only telling the first part of this life.”

Flux Design did the taproom rede' sign. Among the nautical décor, which includes wrought iron accents and portholes, are images of young Cap' tain Pabst. Rich blue drapes accent the windows. Pub tables replaced the com' munal tables, and a new elevated stage hosts a full schedule of bands. The space can host food and beer tastings, parties and events.

With the rebranding, Powers hopes the brewery and taproom, located in a historic 1872 structure that was once a German Meth' odist church, will have its own identity among the newer businesses in the redeveloped Pabst Brewery complex. “We’re the only thing on this block that’s operated by Pabst,” he says, noting that some people believe other nearby bars within the complex are also operated by Pabst, but they’re independent.

says, and brews beer for the taproom’s beer list. “With Schlitz, Old Style or any of the brands we own, the beers start here when we bring out different versions, like a different style or brand extension. Our brewers will do test batches,” he explains. “If it’s well re' ceived, then it will go on to mass production for retail sale. That was the idea behind Sea' bird, to see how well it performed in here.”

Seabird, a smooth, approachable IPA made with magnum, citra, cascade and mosaic hops, was the taproom’s fourth best seller last year.

It’s brewed on-site for the taproom; for larger retail distribution, it’s brewed and canned by Wisconsin Brewing Co., in Verona, Wis. Pabst is a “virtual” brewer, contracting its large-scale distribution recipes to physical brewers such as Molson Coors. Seabird is available in retail loca' tions including Otto’s and Woodman’s.

The beer menu changes occasionally, de' pending on what’s available in the downstairs brewery. In addition to PBR and Seabird IPA, Patrons can find heritage brands like Ande' ker or Red, White & Blue, along with vari' eties such as Pabst Kolsch or Goodrich Gal' ley Goch sour on tap. Pabst favorites are also available in cans and bottles.

rently Wisconsin-centric—fish fry, cheese curds and brats—and vegetarians can opt for the Im' possible Burger. Powers says they will add light' er fare like salads and bowls.

Brewery tours are available, and Powers says the tour attracted about 10,000 people last year.

They’re rebranding the tour around Captain Pabst’s life and collecting historic photos and memorabilia. The outdoor beer garden has a full bar and can be rented for events. Captain Pabst Pilot House will hold a grand reopening party on Saturday, March 28, to coincide with Frederick Pabst’s birthday. $!#%&!#'%()*!#&+,(!)-% .(/(,%0+1/,&2'1#'3'#456!&.

Yamato Drummers

Yamato Drummers Bring Japanese Tradition to the Marcus Center

::BY HARRY CHERKINIAN

hen Masa Ogawa was growing up in Japan, his mother discovered a timeless treasure in an old shrine in their village that would change the course of his life. It was a Taiko drum.

And for a child, what amazed is that it was so BIG. Some are the size of a car. The drum also represented history, a timeless relic from the past that was now revealed.

“We realized that the Taiko was more than 100 years old when we changed its cow skin for renewal,” says the veteran drummer. “There was a date that was written by the Taiko maker. I felt a deep respect for the instrument and its maker and was instantly drawn to it.”

Ogawa, now in his early 50s and a glass blower by profession, was so drawn to that instrument as a child that he studied and learned to play that drum, not knowing then how its unique sounds would deeply resonate within him. As a young man in his early 20s, Ogawa went on to form Wadaiko Yamato, a Japanese musical group of 20 Taiko drummers, in 1993. Their performance at the Marcus Performing Arts Center’s Uihlein Hall will feature eight drummers along with several types of Taiko drums and other unique instruments.

In Japanese, the word “Wadaiko” translates as “Japanese drum,” and the word “Yamato” is the former name of the Nara prefecture, where the group originated. For the master drummer, that discovered drum became a challenge to overcome and master at his mother’s urging.

“It was a little troublesome for me, I think, because I did not know how to make a song for the Taiko drum, and I was doing glassblowing at the time,” he recalls.

“However, I felt I could do something with Taiko. That feeling grew after I made one song and started to practice. I was getting more excited day by day.”

And that’s all before breakfast! Next comes two-tothree hours of weight training, followed by lunch. Then it’s more practice and on to the performance. That daily regimen includes women as well as men. In this day and age, women have always been a part of the Yamato group despite the art’s male-dominated history.

“Because Yamato is a modern group, we do not think about that male-dominated history,” Ogawa emphasizes.

“At the beginning, there were women in Yamato, and they were equally as strong or stronger than the men.

They have stamina and vitality. Yamato could not create anything without them.”

Heavy Music For Ogawa, the leap from glass blowing to drumThe Taiko drum typically looks like a hollow wooden ming was remarkably easy. “I think there is no difference shell with skins at each end, all of different sizes.

Crave, written by Sarah Kane, is described by Theatre Gigante as “an enigmatic, thought-provoking and darkly poetic play.” A change in critical opinion of her work occurred with Kane’s fourth play, Crave, which was presented in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1998. The play was performed under the pseudonym of “Marie Kelvedon”— partly because the notion amused Kane, but also so the play could be viewed without the taint of its author’s rather notorious reputation. Crave marked a break from the onstage violence of her previous works and a move to a freer, sometimes lyrical writing style—at times inspired by her reading of the Bible and the works of T.S. Eliot.

It has four characters, each identified only by a letter of the alphabet. Crave dispenses with plot and, unlike Kane’s earlier works with their highly specific stage directions, gives no indication what actions (if any) the actors should perform on stage, nor does Crave give any specific information about its setting. It’s highly intertextual, and at the time of its writing, Kane considered it as the “most despairing” of her plays, written at a time when she had—like so many of us can certainly empathize with—“lost faith in love.” (John Jahn) March 12-15 at the Jan Serr Studio, on the sixth floor of the Kenilworth Building, 1925 E. Kenilworth Place. For tickets, call 800-838-3006 or visit theatregigante.org.

An Inspector Calls

An Inspector Calls is a play by J.B. Priestley. “The seven-member cast is an eclectic group from the Milwaukee area with some very good young talent,” says Richard Gustin, who plays the eponymous inspector. “I’ve played major and featured roles at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater, Milwaukee Chamber Theatre, First Stage and assorted regional theaters. The production will be in a new theater space in River Hills. We are the first company to play in the new intimate black box theater at St. Christopher’s.

“A noteworthy aspect of the production—in addition to being housed in a brandnew Milwaukee theater—is that the cast contains a former artistic director of Acacia Theatre Company, the organization’s current artistic director and the daughter of the founding artistic director,” Gustin says. “An Inspector Calls is a timely piece about the haves and the have-nots, rich vs. poor, the disenfranchised and the effects of income disparity. It’s a message very relevant to Milwaukee. The production is sure to leave its mark on the city,” he says. (John Jahn) March 13-29 in the Norvell Commons of St. Christopher’s Church, 7845 N. River Road.

The Tragedy of Carmen

Peter Brook’s 90-minute chamber opera, The Tragedy of Carmen, is an allnew production by the Florentine Opera. Brook’s acclaimed chamber adaptation strips the story of Carmen—familiar to opera lovers through the great tragic opera

by Georges Bizet—to its very emotional core. As such, it dispenses with the original’s “sideshows,” scenes and characters not central to the plot, thus creating a taut psycho-drama that is both great opera and dynamic theater all at once. With jealousies ignited and passions exploding, Carmen’s lust for life leads down a deadly path.

You’ll hear all of Bizet’s famous, beloved arias and get to know Carmen, the lovelyyet-lethal cigarette girl, in a whole new way.

To help familiarize you with The Tragedy of Carmen, there are pre-opera talks one hour prior to each performance in Wilson Theater at Vogel Hall, hosted by stage director Eugenia Arsenis. The Florentine’s cast includes Laurel Semerdjian (Carmen), Luis Alejandro Orozco (Escamillo), Kathryn Henry (Michaela) and Luke Selker (Don Jose). (John Jahn) March 13-22 in Wilson Theater at Vogel Hall of the Marcus Performing Arts Center, 929 N. Water St. For tickets, call 414-291-5700 or visit florentineopera.org.

Caroline Kent ‘Writing’ Visually at Hawthorn Contemporary ::BY SHANE MCADAMS

C

aroline Kent’s large rectilinear wall painting completed in tonal orange struck me quickly as one of those rare colors that has few immediate associations. I might have disregarded my stray observation if other ambiguities hadn’t subsequently presented themselves. The painting itself mimics a large work on canvas for a moment before being recognized as a carefully taped off shape with slightly skewed angles and a conspicuously removed notch on the lower left.

Two sculptural quotation marks slyly bracket the entire painting, and when they’re noticed, the whole piece—indeed the show itself, aptly titled “Writing Forms”—moves unmistakably from the realm of visual forms to that of language.

As a child, I aspired to possess Crayola crayon sets with the greatest number of colors. I wanted 64 with a sharpener but was forced to make do with 16. I dreamed of the unicorns that lived in boxes of 128, thinking there were colors from other dimensions. I became a grown-up the day I realized that every new color was simply a shade or tint of those in my paltry sets of 16. Still, the names given to those colors, those interstitial hues in-between the others—cornsilk, carnation, thistle—carved out new sensory pathways in my mind, nearly equivalent to those unseen wavelengths of light might have.

Installation view of Carloline Kent’s exhibition at Hawthorne Contemporary

This is of course is a testament to the power of language rather than color theory.

This meditation gripped me as I took in Kent’s abstract painterly quotation and confirmed how cleverly she smuggled my own associations with color over the border into the dimension of language.

Withholding symbolic handles—fire-engine red, or banana yellow, or sky blue—or any tangible content, she managed to make that pictorial quotation about universal color and form; a quote about abstraction and not of it, even while it looked like it.

On the wall opposite the large wall piece, four smaller abstract paintings in dull flesh tones on black backgrounds complicate the ongoing semiotic inquiry. As she did with color, Kent addresses concrete subject matter with a similarly willful desire to force ambiguity. The black forms in these paintings feel caught in-between crude figuration and formal abstraction, living in an altered version of a colorless color. Each painting is framed by a theatrical hood that encourages a representational and performative read. But all these quasi-corporeal forms live in a figure/ground holding pattern as signifiers of content rather than representations of it.

Lynden Sculpture Garden • 2145 W. Brown Deer Road

Students will experiment in the studio with a variety of media, such as graphite, vine and compressed charcoal, Conté crayons and ink as they draw natural objects gathered from the sculpture garden’s lovely, scenic grounds. Then, students will set up their own gathered still life and focus on light, composition and proportion. This event-class has a non-member fee of $42 ($38 for Lynden members), and advance registration is required; all materials will be included. For more information and to register, call 414-446-8794 or visit lyndensculpturegarden.org.

A tapered painted plinth at the back of the gallery eludes easy identification. Eight feet high, drab orange again, with a pink cutout grate at the top, it insists on being identified as a nameable symbol that never quite arrives. Lingering in textual mode after the earlier parentheses, I struggled and failed to eventually place the sculpture’s symbolic derivation. I left the show a little puzzled, still wondering if the sculpture was meant to be read or simply seen. After a day or two of stewing, I concluded that the answer was probably “both.”

That particular sculptural element, like the other work in the greater installation, represent forced collisions between languages: of art and writing, of abstraction and text. Seeing any language in its most orthodox function, we tend to normalize it, forgetting its biases and modalities. Kent urges us to stay awake and resist the sensational possibilities of her media.

Marshall McLuhan said, more than five decades ago, that “the medium is the message,” and his statement is as true as ever at Hawthorn Contemporary through April 18.

During this talk, Belkofer will revisit philosopher Susanne Langer’s seminal work, Feeling and Form: A Theory of Art (1953), through the lens of contemporary relational aesthetics, neuroscience and art therapy theories.

His lecture will explore how art promotes interoceptive knowing, seeking to answer questions such as, what are the phenomenon and therapeutic potentials of how pieces of art evoke sensations, thoughts and feelings in the mind and the body? The lecture is free and open to the public.

[ FILM CLIPS ] Bloodshot PG-13 Vin Diesel portrays American elite soldier Ray Garrison in this film adapted from a Valiant comic book, featuring popular character Bloodshot. Killed, along with his wife, by the sadistic Martin Axe (Toby Kebbell), Garrison is resurrected using an experimental nanotechnology. He’s endowed with an internet-connected brain, is super-strong and possesses the power of instantaneous self-healing. Garrison’s new life is granted so he can do the bidding of his benefactor, the mysterious RST group. Instead, Garrison escapes and seeks revenge for his wife’s death. Presumably looking for a new superhero franchise, both Vin Diesel and Sony are let down by a simplistic, predictable story that fails to thrill with its few cool special effects. (Lisa Miller)

My Spy PG-13 After screwing up his mission by killing all the members of a Russian mob syndicate, CIA operative JJ (Dave Bautista) is ordered to make amends by serving as witness protection for a 9-year-old child.

Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and the Band R Inspired by Robbie Robertson’s 2017 best-selling memoir, Testimony, this documentary seeks to illuminate what went very right, before going very wrong, with The Band, a seminal rock group from the ’60s and beyond. Director Daniel Roher uses photographs, archival footage and interviews, both past and present, to share Robertson’s version of events, now largely undisputed as only two Band members survive. Rock fans, as well as music history buffs, will find the story uplifting, familiar and melancholy upon learning that The Band was ultimately divided by drug use and personality conflicts. (L.M.)

Having thrown his future away, the now 40-something, divorced alcoholic begins the day drinking beer in the shower, the can precariously balanced on the soap dish. Jack spends off hours in a lowlife bar and spiraling downward. When asked to coach his high school basketball team, Jack is surprised to find himself accepting the difficult task of fixing a broken group of players. Addressing these malfunctions sends Jack into a drinking funk but also inspires him to get help. In some ways, it’s an autobiographical film for Affleck, who has experience with rehab. (L.M.)

[ HOME MOVIES / NOW STREAMING ] Whisky Galore! / The Maggie (FILM MOVEMENT CLASSICS) Alexander Mackendrick directed one of the great landmarks of Hollywood cinema, Sweet Smell of Success (1957), starring Burt Lancaster as a sociopathic media star. But the Scottish director began in an entirely different key with two comedies for Britain’s Ealing Studio.

Set on a remote Scottish island during World War II, the humor of Whisky Galore! (1949) is dry and subtle. When the narrator mentions the islanders’ “pure and simple pleasures,” a long stream of children emerges from a family dwelling. The Home Guard-trained islanders use commando tactics to hijack a shipload of “the water of life,” whisky; and they must use their wiles to conceal the hoard from the authorities. On the new Bluray release, Whisky Galore! is coupled with The Maggie (1954), in which a crew of Scots get the best of can-do Yanks and fussbudget Englishmen.

OFF THE CUFF WITH SOCIAL JUSTICE COORDINATOR CESAR CORNIER

::BY DAVID LUHRSSEN

!

Where we you before First Unitarian?

I’m actually a musician of 14 years and an actor, so I was acting in Chicago for the past three years.

::BY AGNES CONNOLLY

"

esar Cornier has been the social justice coordinator at First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee (1342 N. Astor St.) since September, but he’s always had one goal: to empower the people of Milwaukee, particularly those in brown and black neighborhoods. Along with his passion for advocacy, he is a musician and finds multiple ways to integrate the two. He agreed to talk with Off the Cuff.

COURTESY OF FIRST UNITARIAN SOCIETY OF MILWAUKEE

f Mark Twain lived today, he’d include girl protagonists as well as boys in his stories. That’s the idea of Milwaukee’s William Bott, who “co-authored” The Adventures of Jane Sawyer with the great American writer.

Produced by Waukesha’s Orange Hat Publishing in a hardcover edition whose design suggests books from Twain’s era, Bott retained as much of the original text as possible while transforming some of the leading characters into girls.

Bott explains that he was inspired by teaching Tom Sawyer in middle school.

He noticed “the boys were on the edge of their seats and the girls weren’t particularly engaged. It wasn’t because the story was ‘boyish’ but because it was written all about boys. Tom is just a kid, and as we read through it, I began to consider what it would look like if Tom and his friends became Jane and her friends. It became obvious that for modern readers, this story should be updated to include girls and to exclude language of racism.”

While researching for his project, Bott discovered that Twain had a similar gender switch in mind in a letter written to playwright William Howells. “Twain invites Howells to write a stage play. He says, ‘I have my eye upon two young girls who can play Tom and Huck,’” Bott says. “I could not believe this! Nearly 150 years ago, Mark Twain himself imagined and suggested that Tom and Huck be played by girls. Although social constraints of the time kept girls from having some of the adventures and experiences that boys had, reading Twain’s letter motivated me all the more to bring Jane Sawyer to life.”

All these years later, Twain’s humorous insights into society’s foibles and pretenses remain spoton. “Human beings haven’t changed, and Twain’s sensitivity to what we feel and think connect with readers, no matter the century. What was true about people then is true about us now, which is why this story is a classic,” Bott says.

Bott will discuss The Adventures of Jane Sawyer 5 p.m. Saturday, March 28, at Voyageur Book Shop, 2212 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.

Can you tell me about your role as a social justice coordinator?

I was placed in that role by Public Allies. Their motto is “everyone leads,” and the program basically focuses on getting diverse leaders in different non-profit and community organizations throughout Milwaukee, specifically working on social justice. First Unitarian has an immigration action group, an environmental justice group, they work with Black Lives Matter, and we have an interchange food pantry. I’m in charge of all that. I was born and raised on the South Side of Milwaukee, so the Latino culture and community is something really close to my heart. I see a lot of needs there and there can even be lots of resources, but there’s a lot of silos, so it’s my job to connect the resources to the people.

Do you find that music or other art forms are ways to empower a social justice message?

Definitely. I use my music to plug into that social justice action. I’m the developmental coordinator with the Wisconsin Hip Hop Chess Club. Every Tuesday at 817 W. National Ave., from 6-8 p.m., we have a safe space for kids to come, no questions asked, and they learn how to play chess and make beats, and free dinner is provided. It’s interracial and intergenerational.

Do you have a favorite moment from that?

To be honest, every week is a blessing. People ask me what I give the kids, and to be honest, I don’t know what we give the kids besides a building, some food and some chessboards. I see myself in those kids a lot, and I look at the trouble that I used to get into doing things in the ’hood. A lot of it was because of the idleness that we see in the South Side and the inner-city where kids don’t have anything to do and don’t have a place to go. It’s turned into a supportive mentor structure for the kids: they know us, they debrief us, they tell us what’s going on in their lives. We’re building this trust and this safe space. It’s evolved to 35 kids and families.

What are some future goals?

I would like to see more empowerment in the black and brown community of Milwaukee. By empowerment, I mean not only bringing resources but letting them know what resources are available. Being a social justice coordinator is a blessing, but I’m also the only person of color in all the staff, so another thing I’m moving toward is representation. In my congregation, the demographic is traditionally older, white people. Me, being a rapper, they’ve been a supportive and welcoming community where I can be expressive in my own culture and art.

A good example is, about a month ago, when I performed a little rap verse at that church. That building has been around since maybe 1838, and that’s the first time they’ve ever had a person of color with a mic rap! It’s things like that, things changing the white supremacy structure and the culture. I’m going to be doing a panel called Hip Hop Helps in June where I’m going to be talking to the congregation, who’s very unfamiliar with hip-hop, about how it started in the ’80s and then, moving forward, how it directly correlates with community engagement. The reason I’m talking with you now is because of hip-hop—the knowledge, the empowerment and the tools it provided me. I think it’s important to let people know how valuable it is.

ROBERT CRAY BRINGS SOUL INTO THE BLUES ::BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

f ever an artist firmly stood at the intersection of rhythm and blues, it’s Robert Cray. While the Georgia native has earned numerous accolades (and many Grammys) for his acumen as a blues artist, Cray’s vocal and playing style are far more reflective of his deep and abiding love of soul music.

So it goes with his latest album, That’s What I Heard. While this collection features its share of original numbers penned by Cray, there are a number of more obscure R&B covers the 66-year-old was inspired to record by longtime friend Steve Jordan, who reunited with Cray to play drums and produce this set.

“So, we started talking about songs, and he told me about Groove & Grind: Rare Soul, this CD he said I should order, which is what I did,” Cray says. “It’s a compilation of old R&B tunes, from which we got two songs for this record. We got ‘My Baby Likes to Boogaloo’ and another one called ‘Do It.’”

28 | M A R C H 1 2 , 2 0 2 0

“Upon hearing the first track on that compilation, which is ‘My Baby Likes to Boogaloo,’ I called Steve up and told him I had to do that song. He said he knew it and that he was going to play drums on it. That kind of set us in the mood. We started looking at tunes after that. Steve came up with the idea of maybe doing a gospel tune, so I went to the record pile and came up with the Sensational Nightingales song, ‘Burying Ground.’ The band started putting songs together, and I started thinking of other covers and Curtis Mayfield and Bobby ‘Blue’ Bland came up. That’s how it came about. But Steve always sets the mood.”

As someone who inherited the blues elder statesman mantle Robert Cray from idols like Muddy Waters, Wednesday, John Lee Hooker and Albert ColMarch 18, 8 p.m. lins, all of whom Cray had played Potowatomi with years ago, he sees this blendHotel & Casino ing of sounds as part of the evolution of the blues that he’s seen occurring in the past few decades.

“There’s all kinds of stuff going on. There are a whole lot of younger cats playing guitar and coming out. There are people playing acoustic-style blues, and there are a whole lot of female singers now, which is great,” Cray says. “I spoke with someone earlier today, and we mentioned the fact that the music is changing because it’s supposed to. It’s incorporating a lot of other genres mixed into it, which it’s supposed to, because nobody is an Albert Collins, John Lee Hooker, Albert King or anybody like that. It’s a whole new world now, and I’m glad people are picking up on the old and putting their own stamp on that and adding their own thing to it. It’s good.”

Cray’s own musical journey had him playing piano as a child. That is, until he caught The Beatles on the “Ed Sullivan Show.” Cray switched to guitar at 12 and spent his teen years growing up in Tacoma, Wash. While playing the West Coast college circuit and collaborating with fellow blues artist Curtis Salgado in the Crayhawks, Cray got cast as an uncredited bass player in Otis Day and the Knights, the house band in the 1978 film Animal House. By the 1980s, he’d built his reputation as a live artist in Europe and the United States, eventually finding crossover success with Strong Persuader, his 1986 major label debut that yielded the hit crossover single “Smokin’ Gun.” Over time, he’s shared stages with Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy and Stevie Ray Vaughan, all while compiling quite a canon of his own. Over time, he’s seen quite a change in the music industry.

“You don’t get all that support you used to get from the record companies,” he says. “That seems to be gone, where you had these big family-type situations. It’s a big change.

You hope you can sell something online that more people might get hold of.”

That said, the approach to playing live music hasn’t changed, and he still enjoys it immensely. So much so that touring plans include heading over to Europe for a string of dates in April after a quick run through the East Coast. “We go out and have fun—that’s what it’s all about. We change the set list up every night, with the exception of a few tunes that we do,” he says. “In the end, the reason that you’re on the stage is that fans like what you do. They don’t tell you that, but you’re on the stage because they like what you do. So, what you should do is do what you do and love what you do.”

Robert Cray performs at 8 p.m. Wednesday, March 18, at Potawatomi Hotel & Casino’s Northern Lights Theater. For more information, visit paysbig.com.

The Nielsen Family Trust

!"#$$%&#'(#)$!*+(,- .$/012&)3$ Family Affair ::BY MICHAEL PFLUGHOEFT

!

t’s a nearly universal experience for families with more than one child—a mother urging her children to “play nice together.”

That sentiment was the catalyst behind a new side project from Rick Nielsen, Cheap Trick’s Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame guitarist, and his sons Miles and Daxx, along with Miles’ wife Kelly Steward and multi-instrumentalist Adam Plamann.

Dubbed The Nielsen Trust, Rick said that this extremely limited run of live performances promise “a Midwest musical legacy—memories, dreams and nightmares.” Or, as Miles puts it, “a way to experience music and stories between a father and his family, an intimate look at the life and songs of a family that isn’t completely f#*ked up.”

In a phone interview, Miles recounts the genesis of the project: “About three years ago, my mom had the idea that we should be doing this. We thought it would be fun to do someday—but as busy as we all are (Cheap Trick, with Rick and Daxx, plays upwards of 150 shows a year and Miles’ band, The Rusted Hearts, tours consistently)—three years later was the only time we’ve been able to figure out that we can actually do it.”

The opportunity presented itself when Robin Zander accepted an invitation to tour in Europe with an “Alice Cooper and Friends” thing for a month, giving Cheap Trick a month off, which is a pretty rare occurrence.

The Nielsen Trust’s first public appearance took place during a show in Bloomington, Ill., that The Rusted Hearts gave last October. “We did a teaser of four or five songs set in Bloomington to introduce the idea The of the band and see the reaction to it. Everybody was into it—so, after Nielsen that, it was full speed ahead,” says Miles.

Trust “We said, ‘Well, why don’t we see if there’s any interest—let’s book some shows’—and all of sudden, there are 13 of them.” The Milwaukee Thursday, gig at Shank Hall is the second stop on a whirlwind tour of the Upper March 19, Midwest in the cities and type of clubs where Cheap Trick honed their 8 p.m. chops well over 40 years ago.

Shank Hall “This is going to be fun! How often do people get to play in a rock band with your Dad? Now, I’m a band with my Dad, my brother and my wife… there’s really no drama—we just get down to what songs we want to play and figure out how can we make them fun and different,” Miles adds. “There’s a collective song list we’ve been going back and forth on—some of my favorite deep cuts from the Cheap Trick catalog, like ‘Borderline,’‘Can’t Hold On,’‘Need Your Love’ and ‘Downed.’”

They’ll also be resurrecting some songs from their collective musical past—from Daxx and Miles’ band, Harmony Riley, and The Rusted Hearts songs that have connections to Kelly, Daxx or Rick like “Hey, Hey, Hey.” “We’re not going to take ourselves too seriously, we want to make sure we have a good time and enjoy the moment,” says Miles. “And while musicianship is a thing we take pride in, it could go off the rails at any time; there’s no safety net.”

Regardless of how any show or the entire the tour turns out, at the very least, mom will be happy.

The Nielsen Trust plays at 8 p.m. Thursday, March 19, at Shank Hall with Dan Hubbard. For more information and tickets, visit shankhall.com.

Kuzu

FRIDAY, MARCH 13 Kuzu @ Sugar Maple, 8 p.m.

Chicago improvisational music trio Kuzu (Dave Rempis, reeds; Tashi Dorji, guitar; Tyler Damon, drums) has a sound ranging from pin-drop quiet to howling chaos, at least judging from their 21-minute rack “Fontanelles 1” from the album Hiljaisuus (Finnish for “silence”)—their sounds have also been characterized as “modern jazz destruction.”

Flat Out Friday @ Fiserv Forum, 7 p.m.

The seventh annual Flat Out Friday, presented by Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Company, is an indoor motorcycle race on a Dr. Pepper soda-sprayed sticky indoor concrete track.

The Mama Tried Motorcycle Show includes various events at multiple venues around town, including the Harley-Davidson Museum and The Rave through Sunday.

SATURDAY, MARCH 14

Mothership Connections—Parliament-Funkadelic Tribute @ Company Brewing, 10 p.m.

This show pays respect to George Clinton’s Mothership and all things P-Funk with members of members of Thee Grateful Dub Band, The Electrik War Babies and Recalcitrant. (Also Sunday, March 15.)

OM

SATURDAY, MARCH 14

OM and Wovenhand @ Club Garibaldi, 8 p.m.

An evening of music not for the faint of heart. San Francisco trio OM’s stoner-rock draws on psychedelic music, Middle Eastern folk, dub, reggae and post-rock. Wovenhand, led by former 16 Horsepower frontman David Eugene Edwards, combines Southern Gothic influences with oldtime and Gospel music. If Flannery O’Connor and William Faulkner formed a band to play at the Battle of Little Bighorn, this might be it.

SUNDAY, MARCH 15

Et Tu Brute? A Benefit for HiFi Café w/ Testa Rosa, Retoro, Juniper Tar, The Quilz, Red Stuff, Magnetic Minds and Bleed @ Cactus Club, 3 p.m.

Mary Hart, operations manager and owner of Bay View’s HiFi Café, needs the community’s help. A serious chronic illness has prevented her from being able to carry on full-time duties at the café, which has impacted HiFi’s emergency funds to survive during the slow business that is expected each winter.

Chris and Enzo DeMay have organized what amounts to an all-ages music festival for a worthy cause, featuring a rare appearance by Juniper Tar. The HiFi Café is a Bay View hub for creative arts activity, participating bands have ties to the neighborhood and the Cactus Club has long been a stop for touring acts and locals alike. Three reasons to show your support and enjoy some great music.

Max and the Invaders @ Kochanski’s Concertina Beer Hall, 2 p.m.

Is your energy flagging? Take a hit of Milwaukee third wave ska institution Max & the Invaders, who have a few shows lined up in the near future beginning with this matinée show.

Sepultura Quadra (NUCLEAR BLAST) Despite no remaining original members, Brazilian thrash kings Sepultura roar into 2020 with arguably the most complete metal album of the band’s 35-year history. On Quadra, Sepultura pays respect to the past while also embracing new flourishes such as orchestral elements, choirs and clean vocals. The Latin title means “four ways” and refers to the four sections into which the 12-song album is divided. The first three tracks consist of pure and mighty thrash played with a high degree of technical finesse, while the next three invoke the groove metal of 1996’s Roots.

The final half-dozen songs fall into more experimental and acoustic territory—including “The Pentagram,” a chugging instrumental that shows off the band’s breadth of musicality while resting Derrick Green’s shredded vocal cords, and “Agony of Defeat,” which finds Green singing in a clean yet thick voice that gives the song a progressive-metal vibe and suggests broad new possibilities for Sepultura, even at this late date.

Sepultura will perform at The Rave on Friday, March 27, with Sacred Reich, Crowbar and Art of Shock.

Keith Oxman Two Cigarettes in the Dark (CAPRI RECORDS) Saxophonist Keith Oxman takes the lead on Two Cigarettes in the Dark, but the second light on many tracks belongs to another accomplished veteran: tenor saxophonist Houston Person. Playing within an ensemble that swings in sync, Oxman and Person trade off comfortably as they explore the melodies from many angles. “I’ve Never Been in Love Before” is as relaxed as a mid-century cocktail hour, while Oxman’s original “Voss is Boss” dives into the faster pace of post-bop. On Hank Mobley’s “Bossa for Baby,” the ensemble revisits the cool elegance of circa-1960 Brazil.

::FREEWILLASTROLOGY ::BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Giacomo Puccini’s famous opera Tosca premiered in 1900.

It featured a heroine named Tosca. In 1914, Puccini’s favorite Tosca, a soprano singer named Maria Jeritza, was performing in a production at New York’s Metropolitan Opera. As she got ready to sing an aria entitled “I Live for Art,” she stumbled and fell. Rather than struggle awkwardly to rise, she pretended that this was all quite natural—called for in the script. She sang the entire piece while lying on the floor. Puccini loved it! Ever since then, most of the singers who have played the role of Tosca have sung “I Live for Art” while prone. I suggest you regard this as an inspirational teaching. What lucky accidents could you make into permanent additions or enhancements?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus poet Gary Snyder said, “Three-fourths of philosophy and literature is the talk of people trying to convince themselves that they really like the cage they were tricked into entering.” Personally, I think that many of us, not just philosophers and writers, do the same thing. Are you one of us? Your first assignment during the next four weeks will be to explore whether you do indeed tend to convince yourself that you like the cage you were tricked into entering.

Your second assignment: If you find that you are in a cage, do everything you can to stop liking it. Third assignment: Use all your ingenuity, call on all the favors you’re owed, and conjure up the necessary magic so that you can flee the cage.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Your body is not a temple,” declared author and celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain. “It’s an amusement park.

Enjoy the ride.” I half-agree with him. I’m deeply devoted to regarding the body as an amusement park. It should be a source of endless fun and enjoyment. We have the right—indeed, I’d say a duty—to wield our bodies in ways that immerse us in the mysteries and miracles of pleasure. But here’s where I disagree with Bourdain: I believe the body is also a temple that deserves our reverence, respect and protective tenderness. Your assignment in the coming weeks, Gemini, is to raise your commitment to treating your body as both an amusement park and a holy temple.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Early in his career, Cancerian painter Jean-BaptisteCamille Corot (1796–1875) sold only a few paintings. But eventually his luck improved. Once he was financially successful, he became very generous.

He wielded his influence to get jobs for other artists, and mentored many artists, as well. Sometimes he added a few dabs of paint to the finished works of younger, struggling painters, then signed the canvases with his own name so that the works could more easily be sold. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to adopt your own version of Corot’s approach toward those around you who could benefit from your help and support. (P.S. It’s in your selfish interest to do so, although the reasons why may not be clear for a while.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Composer Brian Eno has testified that African music underlies and influences much of his work. He exults in the freedom and unpredictability it encourages. Why? Here’s one reason: In African songs, there are often multiple rhythms. And they’re not locked together; they float freely in relationship to each other. Eno says this is different from Western music, whose salient quality is that all the rhythmic elements are contained “in little boxes”—locked into a tyrannically mechanical clockwork pattern. According to my reading of the astrological omens, dear Leo, the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to experiment with Eno’s insight. How? Escape mechanical clockwork patterns and activate the “multiple, free-floating rhythm” metaphor in everything you do.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Are you interested in enhancing your mastery of togetherness? Are you open to my suggestion that you should seek out practical education about the arts of intimacy? Would you be willing to meditate on how you might bring additional creativity and flair into your close alliances? If you answered yes to those questions, the next six weeks will provide you with ample opportunities to dive in to all that fun work. “Collaboration” and “cooperation” will be words of power for you. “Synergy and symbiosis” should be your tender battle cry.

SHEPHERD EXPRESS

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As you come to the climax of your Season of Good Gaffes and Lucky Bloopers, I’ll remind you of folk singer Pete Seeger’s definition of a “productive mistake.” He said it had these five qualities: “1. made in the service of mission and vision; 2. acknowledged as a mistake; 3. learned from; 4. considered valuable; 5. shared for the benefit of all.” Let’s hope, Libra, that your recent twists and turns fit at least some of these descriptions!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Would you consider making one more push, Scorpio? Can I coax you to continue your half-confusing, half-rewarding quest? Are you willing to wander even further out into the frontier and take yet another smart risk and try one additional experiment? I hope so. You may not yet be fully convinced of the value of these forays outside of your comfort zone, but I suspect you will ultimately be glad that you have chosen what’s interesting over what’s convenient. P.S. In the coming weeks, you could permanently expand your reservoir of courage.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A traditional astrologer might say that you Sagittarians typically spend less time at home than any other sign of the zodiac. Some of you folks even rebel against the idea that having a stable home is a health-giving essential. You may feel that you can’t be totally free unless you always have your next jaunt or journey planned, or unless you always have a home-away-from-home to escape to. I understand and appreciate these quirks about your tribe but am also committed to coaxing you to boost your homebody quotient. Now would be a perfect time to do that. You’re more open than usual to the joy and power of cultivating a nurturing home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The more crooked the path, the faster you’ll get to where you’re going. Every apparent detour will in fact be at least a semi-valuable shortcut. Any obstacle that seems to block your way will inspire you to get smarter and more resourceful, thereby activating lucky breaks that bring unexpected grace.

So don’t waste even a minute cursing outbreaks of inconvenience, my dear, because those outbreaks will ultimately save you time and make life easier. (P.S.: During the coming weeks, conventional wisdom will be even more irrelevant than it usually is.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When I was a young adult, I was unskilled and indigent.

Many restaurants exploited my feeble prowess at washing pots and pans and dishes, but the meager wage they paid me barely kept me fed and housed. You will perhaps understand why, now that I’m grown up, I am averse to cleaning pots and pans and dishes, including my own. That’s why I pay a helper to do that job. Is there an equivalent theme in your own life? An onerous task or grueling responsibility that oppressed you or still oppresses you? Now is a good time to find a way to declare your independence from it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I suspect your fantasy life will be especially potent in the coming weeks. Your imagination will have an enhanced power to generate visions that could eventually manifest as actual events and situations.

On the one hand, that could be dicey, because you can’t afford to over-indulge in fearful speculations and worried agitation. On the other hand, that could be dramatically empowering, because your good new ideas and budding dreams may start generating practical possibilities rather quickly. @ 2020 Rob Brezsny—Free Will Astrology

elf-described Christian prophet Cindy Jacobs declared the coronavirus against the law on Wednesday, March 4: “We say, in the name of Jesus, ‘Virus, you are illegal. This is God’s Earth.’” Dead State reported that Jacobs went on to tell an enthusiastic group of supporters, “I don’t know if everybody will get healed,” but “we’re going to decree that the coronavirus will cease worldwide.”

Bright Idea An innovative jewel thief in Melbourne, Australia, was caught on camera using a fishing rod to burgle a Versace necklace from a store window on Monday, Feb. 24. ABC News reports that the thief carefully broke a hole in the window to avoid setting off the alarm, then he spent almost three hours trying to hook the costume jewelry necklace, worth about $800. He worked with two differentsized rods before finally snagging the necklace. Store owner Steven Adigrati called the heist “outrageous and courageous,” although he suspected the thief was unaware that the piece was relatively inexpensive. “This particular necklace looks a lot more expensive than what it is... gold, bright, iconic Medusa head,” he explained. Police are still searching for the fisherman.

The Foreign Press The ancient legend about St. Patrick driving Ireland’s snakes into the sea could only be salt in the wound of a 22-year-old man from Dublin, who appears to be the first person in Ireland to suffer a venomous snake bite, The Irish Post reported on Saturday, Feb. 29. The man’s pet puff adder bit him, prompting a visit to Connolly Hospital, where doctors consulted with experts from the National Reptile Zoo. James Hennessy, zoo director, explained that “puff adder venom is pretty nasty. It’s going to start digesting and disintegrating all around the area of the bite, and that will continue up the limb as well. It will then cause massive internal issues as well, if not treated.” (FYI, scientists say it was probably the Ice Age that kept snakes out of Ireland.)

A Dream Come True Residents of Settecani, a small village in Italy, were startled on March 4 when their kitchen and bathroom taps began dispensing red wine rather than water, United Press International reported. Locals quickly identified the wine as Lambrusco Grasparossa, which is produced at a nearby winery, and officials there found a leak that sent wine from a silo into water pipes. Some quick-thinking residents said they bottled as much of the tap wine as they could before the problem was resolved.

Awesome!

Ohio college student Mendl Weinstock, 21, joked with his sister, Riva, that when she got married, he would bring a llama to the wedding as his plus one. So, when Riva tied the knot on Sunday, March 1, Mendl made good on his promise, showing up with a rented llama named Shocky wearing a custom-made tuxedo. Riva was unamused but conceded to CNN: “When my brother puts his mind to something, he gets it done.” Mendl spent $400 to rent the llama but said it was worth every penny. Shocky spent about 30 minutes taking photos with amused guests outside the venue, but friends who were in on the joke seated two inflatable llamas at one of the tables inside.

Riva said she’ll get her revenge: “He should sleep with one eye open.”

EW EW EW! A mother in Saint-Malo, France, filed a complaint with police on Tuesday, Feb. 25, against Danone, the manufacturer of powdered baby formula. Police told the AFP that the woman’s 3-month-old daughter became ill in November with a high temperature, and the mother took her to the emergency room. “Several days later,” authorities said, “[the baby] vomited a worm about six to seven centimeters long”—about the length of an adult index finger. In the report, the mother said the worm had been examined at a hospital and was determined to be of a parasitic type. She decided to take action after learning of two other cases, one in central France where living larvae were found in a container of the same brand of formula. A spokesperson from Danone told a news conference that without the containers, “several hypotheses could explain the presence of an insect,” but the formula is never exposed to air in its production chain.
