Potawatomi: Milwaukeeí s Finest Corporate Citizen ::BY ROB HULLUM

orporate philanthropy is by no means unusual. The U.S. corporate sector donated more than $20 billion to charity in 2017 according to a 2018 report by Giving USA, an 8% increase over the previous year. Still, there are certain companies that go above and beyond when it comes to giving. Milwaukee’s finest corporate citizen is Potawatomi Hotel and Casino.

The company’s Native American roots inform its philosophy on giving back to the community. “Part of the culture is to ensure that the environment, the membership and the land is being treated fairly,” said Rodney Ferguson, CEO and general manager of Potawatomi Hotel and Casino.

“That principle has come over to the casino operation since its beginning.” This manifests in more than a million dollars per year being donated to organizations that make a difference in the lives of Milwaukeeans, as well as sponsoring multiple cultural events and programs throughout the city.

4 | APRIL 4, 2019

The Heart of Canal Street Potawatomi’s signature philanthropic endeavor is its!"#$%&!'(!)$* +$,! -&%##&! program. The program, which began in 1994 as a twoweek fundraiser in the casino’s bingo hall, has gifted $19 million to local children-focused charities over the years. “It’s the one time of the year that we can give back to kids in the community,” said Ryan Amundson, public relations manager at Potawatomi Hotel and Casino.

Thirty-one charities are selected each year. One, Potawatomi’s “Charity of Choice,” receives $100,000. Ten charities are chosen

by Potawatomi’s media partners and 20 are picked randomly from a pool of around 160 qualifying applicants. Those organizations each receive an even split of the remaining money raised, which totaled $1.16 million last year.

Potawatomi’s first Charity of Choice was the Milwaukee Area Workforce Investment Board, now known as Employ Milwaukee.

Last year, Potawatomi chose Pathfinders, a local nonprofit that works with youth in crisis. Potawatomi’s donation went towards a program addressing human trafficking. “We are extremely grateful that Potawatomi Hotel & Casino is using its Heart of Canal Street platform to address some of the most pressing needs of youth in our community,” said Tim Baack, president and CEO of Pathfinders. “In addition to raising awareness about the sexual exploitation and trafficking of Milwaukee’s most vulnerable young people, a critical issue impacting our city, their financial support will allow Pathfinders to provide more resources to better serve them.”

Potawatomi is now in the process of selecting its 2019 Charity of Choice. They will announce the charity in either June or July.

They’ve remained mum on which organization they are leaning towards, but said they are always looking at tackling topics such as poverty and gun violence.

“It’s my favorite thing to work on all year,” Amundson said of Heart of Canal Street. “It just feels good giving back to the community and kids in our community. It goes back to what our tribe believes in. Giving kids a good start in life is really important to them too.”

The organization is also benefitting adults in the community with support for the city’s newest transit system, The Hop.

Making The Hop Accessible In early October 2017, Mayor Tom Barrett announced that the Forest County Potawatomi Community had agreed to a 12-year, $10 million sponsorship of the city’s streetcar system; a naming rights deal that dubbed the system The Hop, Presented by Potawatomi Hotel & Casino.

The deal was the end product of multiple meetings between Ferguson and former Department of Public Works commissioner Ghassan Korban. Ferguson cites his time living in multiple cities with successful streetcars as the impetus for sponsoring Milwaukee’s burgeoning system. “In order for us to compete for things like the DNC 2020 or NBA All-Star games, we had to have something like that,” Ferguson said. “At the same time, we knew that if we [sponsored the streetcar], it could help market our facility and give us more exposure for what we do. So, we came to a mutual agreement that is what it is today.”

Ferguson said that he wanted to do “something special,” outside of just a traditional sponsorship deal, so he agreed to have Potawatomi fund rides for the first year in order to get people used to riding. The free rides have been an important factor in boosting initial ridership for the system, and Ferguson has been pleased with the results so far.

“I live Downtown,” he said. “I see people at the various stops, and see the streetcar packed, especially on weekends. It opened up in the beginning of November, in the middle of winter. Wait until spring.

You will certainly see an increase then.”

extension to Fiserv Forum. Alderman Bob Bauman was quoted as saying the team “politely declined.” When asked if Potawatomi would accept a similar proposal to fund a route to the casino, Ferguson said, “It’s definitely something that we would consider.”

“It makes a lot of sense if it were to come by here,” Ferguson said. “We have approximately 6 million guests visiting us every year. The Milwaukee Brewers have over 2 million. The Harley-Davidson Museum has close to 1 million people. So why not have it come up and down Canal Street and go Downtown?”

Championing Native American Culture

Dream Catcher

Potawatomi follows!five key social respon" sibility principles!in its business practices. One of these principles is sharing their cultural heritage. “It’s very important for us to educate folks about Native Americans and the contributions that that group of people has made for generations,” Amundson said. The company’s initiatives around cultural education include working with the Milwaukee Film Festival to select a Native American-produced film or film about Native American issues to be screened every year at the festival.

Potawatomi also works with the Milwaukee Art Museum to bring a Native American theme to their MAM After Dark series each November, which is Native American History Month.

Last year, they brought in Supaman, a Native American rapper from Montana, to perform at

both MAM After Dark and live on the air at 88Nine Radio Milwaukee.

A commitment to Native American culture is also evident in the casino’s hiring practices.

Around 11% of the casino’s workforce is Native American, and 65% are people of color, according to Ferguson.

Respecting the Environment When Potawatomi designed its first hotel tower in August of 2014, the environment was top of mind. The tower underwent a number of tests to determine if its design and specifications qualified for a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification, one of the highest honors a building can receive for sustainability. The tower achieved that certification, becoming the first casino hotel in Wisconsin to do so. The casino’s second hotel tower plans on using the same standards.

“That was one of the main emphases that we placed when building the facility; to hold true to the tribe’s mission, vision and values,” Ferguson said. “We wanted to make sure that this building is built in that fashion.”

Whether it’s through large donations to local charities or sponsoring events to promote Native American culture, Potawatomi embraces its place as a leading philanthropic entity in the city. As Milwaukee’s profile grows on the national stage, Potawatomi wants to be a part of the city’s ascent. “What’s good for the community is good for us,” Amundson said. “From my standpoint, if this city is moving forward, that’s good for us. If we can be a part of it, that’s even better.”

FOUNDER OF MILWAUKEE’S URBAN INDIAN HEALTH CENTER TO BE HONORED ::BY BLAINE SCHULTZ

Four Seasons 6 | APRIL 4, 2019

Milwaukee’s Urban Indian Health Center grew out of an awareness in the 1970s of the poor health among Milwaukee’s Native American community.

Since its inception, the Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center (GLIIHC) has tripled in size and offers a pharmacy, dental clinic and behavioral health center.

On April 12, the 14th Annual Red Shawl Gala will honor Gerald L. Ignace at the Potawatomi Hotel & Casino.

The Red Shawl Gala funds programs that are responsive to the needs of the community and help assure a stronger future for Milwaukee’s Native Americans. The Gala is a community and state-wide event with representatives from most of Wisconsin’s 11 Tribes. The event will feature a live auction of donated items and a performance by world renowned musician Wade Fernandez of the Menominee Tribe of Wisconsin.

This year’s theme, “A Legacy of Native Health Under One Roof,” recognizes Ignace’s work to ensure Milwaukee urban Indians receive quality healthcare, no matter their income. “I am humbled to be entrusted to continue my father’s legacy and to be a part of the GLIIHC team that serves more than 2,200 patients. Besides healthcare, the Center provides many free community events, health clinics, programs and feasts, along with our Youth Empowerment Program,” Ignace says. “The foundation for our healthcare services is based on our tradition that, in order to heal, every part of a patient must be addressed.

This includes the mind, body, spirit, and emotions, and it involves the whole family, including the community.”

ortia Cobb has always seen the world as a series of stories, and through art she has made a point to tell the stories of the people in her community.

Raised in California, Cobb started her professional career in radio, where she learned the art of storytelling using music and audio. Eventually, she transitioned into video when she started thinking about attending graduate school. Driven to talk about the struggles of homelessness and what it meant to be black, Cobb would continue to use video as her chosen medium to talk about experiences close to her.

While pursuing the theme of the African diaspora in her work, she flew to Burkina Faso in West Africa to attend a prominent film festival focusing on the topic. It was on that trip in 1991 where she met a UW-Milwaukee professor, who recruited her to teach at the college and lead UWM’s Community Media Project (CMP). Cobb never expected to be a teacher, nor did she expect to live in Milwaukee, but all of the unexpected happened in 1992. She found herself in a new city helping young people tell their stories with a video camera.

The CMP was started in 1985 as UWM’s effort to provide artistic programming to underserved groups around the city. “The CMP existed as a way to empower—to tell the stories of those we weren’t seeing,” explains Cobb. She would partner with community organizations such as the Boys and Girls Club and the Midtown Neighborhood Association to find participants in the program. In addition to learning the mechanics of a camera, the students would have the opportunity to meet prominent video artists brought in from around the country.

Cobb would constantly be changing her programming to fit the needs of the students. After first getting to know the students, Cobb often realized they were already activists with goals for changing the narrative. She simply gave them the tools they needed to amplify their voices. “They already had stories. All we did was bring the equipment,” she says.

The CMP still exists today, but it doesn’t have the funding and influence it once did. In its prime in the late 1990s, Cobb would bridge the gap between Milwaukee’s Central City and the East Side by bringing students to the college or by going into their neighborhoods. Now, however, the CMP functions as a mentoring program for anyone that reaches out.

The CMP created ripple effects throughout the Milwaukee community, being one of the first programs to regularly show films by artists of color. They would focus on themes about the black community and the African diaspora. Cobb sees the program’s influence in organizations like Black Lens, an organization that has been bringing films by African American artists to the Milwaukee Film Festival. Directing the CMP since living in Milwaukee has allowed Cobb to view the city through the lens of the people she’s worked with.

As Cobb reminisced about these experiences, she flashed a broad smile and reflected on how much her students have inspired her.

Milwaukeean Brews Up a New Tonic from an Old Recipe ::BY SHEILA JULSON

So, where did Amber Frymark, maker of Zwitchel, which she sells un7 der her company, Chowventions, get the idea?

It turns out that the tonic is nothing new. “It’s based on an 18th-century health tonic,” Frymark said. She studied culinary arts at a couple of dif7 ferent locations, and one of her favorites sub7 jects was culinary history. “A lot of knowledge came out of that course. The old health tonic was a British thing and was first consumed in the United States in Massachusetts. There’s also documentation that soldiers in the War of 1812 drank it on the battlefield.”

Intrigued by this historic tonic, Frymark put some basic ingredients together in a pot and tasted the results. “I thought it tasted fantastic and couldn’t believe we’re not still drinking this,” she said. As one who always liked to reinvent culinary arts, she infused Wisconsin ingredients into her concoction: local beer, and maple syrup as a sweetener. “Cane sugar or molasses were used in the baseline recipe.

For my own blend, I made it sweet, tangy and spicy, all in one flavor profile.”

In 2016, Frymark made a test batch of Zwitch7 el and packaged it into larger liquor bottles, orig7 inally intending to market it as cocktail syrup for bars and restaurants. It was a bit of a hard sell, she recalled, but a door opened when Zwitchel )(,% ".*% 80$1(,$0,% 9(""*$"% :0"1.*,% ;,"4*/4*7 neur Challenge in 2016. “Winning that told me that I must be doing something right,” she laughed, “and that led to what we have today, the beverage enhancer version of Zwitchel in a flask-sized bottle, launched around mid-2018.”

Knowing that she has a unique product that some people might not be familiar with, Fry7 mark does samplings at Woodman’s in Oak Creek, and at all four Outpost Natural Foods lo7 cations—two of the first stores that agreed to put Zwitchel on their shelves. Good Harvest market, in Pewaukee, has just started carrying Zwitchel, and Frymark will be at farmers markets this year.

Frymark recommends Zwitchel in lem7 onade, tea, in smoothies, sparkling water or with light or dark spirits. It’s not just a bev7 erage enhancer; Frymark said some chefs use Zwitchel as a glaze, a marinade or in salad dressing. Outpost Natural Foods recently ap7 proached her to ask if she could make them a steak sauce, which she’s currently working on and hopes to introduce this year.

Frymark served in the United States Air Force from 2001 through 2011 and did two tours in the Middle East. She works with veterans’ groups and donates to different organizations each year.

She’s given to Operation Gratitude, which sends care packages to the troops, and this year she’s /&4",*40,3%)0".%80$1(,$0,%<*"*4&,$%(=%>(4*03,% Wars. “They’ve given me support in the past, so I want to give back to them,” she said.

Frymark plans to launch new products un7 der Chowventions, but for now she’ll primar7 ily focus on growing Zwitchel. “I’m blessed to have it,” she said of Zwitchel’s success thus far. “It’s like a baby I’m waking up to take care of. It’s my mission and why I open my eyes every morning.” !"#$%"#&$'()"#%*+'"(,$ -'.'+$/0"1-&(+'"(.2/"%2

Themes That, Unfortunately, Still Resonate

Rehearsal for The Last Cyclist

Cardinal Stritch Offers Heroic and Absurdist

‘The Last Cyclist’ ::BY BLAINE SCHULTZ

The first person says: “The Jews and the cyclists are responsible for all of our misfortunes!”

The second asks: “Why the cyclists?”

To which a third counters: “Why the Jews?” n 1944, a young Czech playwright named Karel Švenk questioned his Nazi oppressors from a stage in a concentration camp at Terezín (or Theresienstadt as the Germans called it). They murdered him a year later, but his allegorical work The Last Cyclist has been revived, rejuvenated and reinterpreted.

After its dress rehearsal, the play was banned by the Council of Jewish Elders for fear of Nazi retaliation due to references to the irrational behavior of the play’s dictator. The unmistakably satirical script was thought to be lost forever. Then in 1961, Jana Šedová, a surviving member of The Last Cyclist’s original cast, reconstructed the play from memory. That version of the play has since been performed only once. Now, however, Cardinal Stritch University has taken up the challenge to stage Naomi Patz’ reconstruction and reimaging of The Last Cyclist.

Director Mark Boergers first learned of the play in 2017. “Dan Haumschild (Holocaust Education Fellow for both Cardinal Stritch University and Nathan and Esther Pelz Holocaust Education Resource Center) brought it to me. At first glance, I was skeptical about the piece, because I was unsure we could delve into the complexity of the message with just student artists,” he says. “However, when I began to learn more about the script and what it represented for the inmates who wrote it, the project became something I really wanted to challenge myself to complete. With HERC’s support, we were able to hire professional actors to work alongside our students, and that rehearsal mixture has been rich with fodder to work through this multi-layered production.”

18 | A P R I L 4 , 2 0 1 9

The themes, topics and events of The Last Cyclist continue to resonate today. Fear, hate and xenophobia have yet to be eradicated. Art remains an agent for change in society. According to Boergers, “one of the most powerful aspects of this play is that it is based from the artistic work of inmates in the camp. The fact that, after long days in horrible conditions, their spirits were fed by artistic pursuits is extremely inspiring to me. In addition, the kind of work they produced is highly scathing but also satirical and laced with biting comedy, which may not be the first emotions one would expect. Our production seeks balance depicting the terrible conditions they were forced to endure but also to portray the limitless bounds of their artistic expression and dreams.

“Comedy and art provide interesting in-roads to difficult discussions.

One of the most important functions of theater is to inspire discussion and dialogue. Theater has the power to use story, emotion and aesthetic to achieve this outcome, and it is always amazing to me how many doors can be opened through its performance.”

The history of The Last Cyclist is different than most plays, and the subject matter offers unique challenges. It holds up a mirror to society. “The Last Cyclist is quite a challenging piece mostly because of all the layers to its resonance,” Boergers says. “The piece depicts the horrors of the Holocaust but also presents a comedic, farcical and satirical storyline with deep political and social resonance. In addition, the play represents the resilient spirit of the actors who created it, as well as the overall role of art in resistance in the face of human atrocity.

“The play-within-a-play of The Last Cyclist is an extremely intellectual and absurd satire with many layers of comedy. It has been our job as artists to trace the story line and characters in this absurd world with an eye toward the very real society the actors were commenting on. At the same time, our aesthetic for the show has to balance both the historical realities of the time period and conditions in The which the play was written, while also contextualizing the story amongst the global theme of limitless artistic Last creativity as a means to express thought. It has been an Cyclist extremely illuminating process.”

Cardinal Reviving a play can be a tricky proposition. While BoergStritch ers has some latitude, he also shoulders the responsibility of being caretaker of the surviving material from the origiThrough nal work. Boergers and his cast members are links in the April 14 chain—voices further interpreting the play. “The question of latitude is a great one,” he says. “This particular script comes from many sources, as the author has re-imagined the script and contextualized it with scenes penned to place these actors in the camp.” He feels that his team has a great responsibility—not only to the script but also to anyone affected by the Holocaust.

‘Art is Powerful Stuff’

“However, very early on in our meetings, it became clear to us that it was imperative that we filter the play through our own artistic lens and utilize all our artistic resources and craft in the creation of this play,” he continues. “We felt this would be the ultimate respect and homage to the original artists, who were themselves utilizing artistic craft to make some sense of a senseless time. As we interpret the play, we begin to have an even more personal connection to it, and it is our hope that the audience will feel the same way.”

Artists take chances all the time, but a thinly veiled anti-fascist play staged in a concentration camp? It is daunting to think what Karel Švenk and the original actors might have been thinking in taking on this project.

Boergers thinks “the gist of it is that this play gave them lift and fueled them.

It made them stronger. It made them feel accomplished and that they were doing something. Art is powerful stuff. The creation is just as important as the presentation of it. That’s probably why the play was shut down and definitely why we need to do it today.”

!

Zed Kenzo w/ DJ Drip Sweat @ No Studios, 8 p.m.

Milwaukee rapper Zed Kenzo emerged last year from the city’s Backline program with a bunch of new music to share. This year, she’s released a steady stream of exciting new singles, which have alternatingly spotlighted her wild flow and her ear for sweet, sticky hooks. She’ll celebrate the release of her new EP, Baby Swag, with this listening party on rooftop of No Studios (1037 W. McKinley Ave.). Tickets are free, but an RSVP is required. !

FRIDAY, APRIL 5 WMSE Art & Music @ The Pritzlaff, 6 p.m.

Milwaukee’s independent radio station WMSE 91.7 will showcase some of the city’s best art, music and food as its Art & Music event. More than 300 album-sized pieces of art will be auctioned, in addition to live paintings by artists including Matthew Bailey, Megan Woodard Johnson, Brendan Murphy, Carol Rode Curley, Paula DeStefanis, William Hurst and Megan Lee Nichols. DJ Robert G of WMSE’s “Reggae Vibration” will provide the music, while local restaurants will serve food and craft cocktails.

FRIDAY, APRIL 5

Rocket Cat w/ Flat Teeth and Mortgage Freeman @ Anodyne Coffee, 8 p.m.

Robyn Hitchcock

!

The Milwaukee band Rocket Cat blends the sweet melodies of power-pop and alternative rock with the driving force of ’80s hard rock and sound that’s earned them a local following and two Wisconsin Area Music Industry Award nominations. At this show, they’ll celebrate the release of their new LP Little Lights, joined on the bill by a pair of zippy Milwaukee rock bands, Flat Teeth and Mortgage Freeman.

Robyn Hitchcock @ The Back Room at Colectivo, 8 p.m.

Sometimes, the line between cult favorite and bona fide star can be maddeningly thin. Just ask Robyn Hitchcock, who has at various points in his long career seemed primed for mass recognition he never quite received, though he’s plenty celebrated in songwriting circles and in his native England. From his wonderful jangle pop records with the band The Soft Boys in the late ’70s and early ’80s, Hitchcock found acclaim while exploring psychedelic sounds as a solo artist, then he gradually phased out those influences to let the songs speak for themselves on a series of albums inspired by Bob Dylan. Produced in Nashville by Brendan Benson of The Raconteurs, his latest self-titled album features guest harmony vocals from some of Hitchcock’s longtime admirers, including Grant Lee Phillips, Gillian Welch, Emma Swift and Wilco’s Pat Sansone.

Laura Jane Grace and the Devouring Mothers w/ Mercy Union and Control Top @ The Rave, 7:30 p.m.

Laura Jane Grace made history in 2012 when, after more than a decade fronting the punk band Against Me!, she came out as transgender, instantly becoming one of the most famous trans musicians in the world. She’s done some of her finest work since. Against Me!’s 2014 effort Transgender Dysphoria Blues was the band’s most exhilarating yet, a remarkable raw record that recaptured the spark of the band’s earliest, punkiest material.

Last year, under the moniker Laura Jane Grace and the Devouring Mothers, Grace released a solo record featuring material she felt would sound out of place on an Against Me! album. Inspired by heartland rockers like Tom Petty, it’s a bit rootsier than the typical Against Me! release, but it still delivers plenty of punk thrills.!

The Eighth Annual Milwaukee Blues Festival, 8 p.m.

KATIE HOVLAND

While Chicago-style electric blues tends to get the most attention around these parts of the Midwest, the Eighth Annual Milwaukee Blues Festival has lined up a bill of performers from the more soulful, Southern-end of the blues spectrums. The bill features Tucka, Sir Charles Jones, Pokey Bear, Theodis Ealey, Latimore and Terry Wright, performers who for the most part aren’t afraid to infuse a little bit of R&B into their sound. Tickets are priced between $56 and $129. !

SATURDAY, APRIL 6

Legends of Hip-Hop @ Miller High Life, 8 p.m.

Too Short fans didn’t have to wait too long before seeing him again. Less than six months after the Bay Area rap legend headlined the Miller High Life Theatre, he’s back as part of another lineup of veteran hip-hop talent. The Legend of Hip-Hop tour puts the spotlight on some of the genre’s most celebrated southern stars, including Juvenile, Scarface, DJ Quik, 8 Ball and MJG, and Bun B of UGK fame. Tickets are priced between $62 and $128.

Though the internet has given voice to anybody with an opinion and a laptop, it has done little to curb zine culture. As long as there is paper, it seems, there will always be writers, music fans, artists and cartoonists eager to self-publish their works. Dozens of such zinemakers will be displaying and selling their work at the 11th annual Milwaukee Zine Fest, a free event that also features workshops. Zines from all over the Midwest will be on display, including ones dedicated to feminism, horror, politics, punk and comics. After the fest there will be a meet-and-greet and zine swap at Facilitating Situations (706 S. Fifth St.) from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., and then a casual mingle at Fuel Café’s Walker’s Point location.

MONDAY, APRIL 8

Jeremy Enigk and Tomo Nakayama @ Shank Hall, 8 p.m.

Few figures in emo loom larger than Jeremy Enigk, who with his band Sunny Day Real Estate recorded one of the genre’s greatest debuts, 1994’s Diary. That album remains the band’s high watermark, but all of Enigk’s albums have a way of sounding even better in hindsight, including his divisive 1996 solo debut Return of the Frog Queen, an ambitious work he recorded with a 21-piece orchestra. His confessional songwriting continues to influence many of the leading acts of emo’s current wave. After releasing a typically moving solo album in 2017 called Ghosts, Enigk is back on the road, touring with a full band. He’s joined on this bill

by Seattle singer/songwriter Tomo Nakayama.

TUESDAY, APRIL 9

Electric Six w/ DaveTV, The First Rule and Beaker @ Club Garibaldi, 7:30 p.m.

With a little help from a red-hot Jack White, Electric Six scored one of 2003’s most memorable singles with “Danger! High Voltage,” a timely slab of infectious dance-rock.

The Detroit group wasn’t able to parlay the excitement around that song into lasting mainstream success, but they’ve maintained a loyal fan base through rigorous touring and a steady output of reliably fun (if less than groundbreaking) albums, which have doubled down on the group’s manic, four-on-the-floor grooves while also exploring darker, more rock-based territory. Their recent records, including 2016 Fresh Blood for Tired Vampyres, double down on cheeky humor while nodding to the digital sounds of ’80s pop and synth-rock.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10 Uli Jon Roth @ Shank Hall, 8 p.m.

Before they glammed up their sound and became a hair-metal band, Scorpions were one of the most inventive metal acts of their time, especially during their mid-to-late ’70s run, when Uli Jon Roth served as their lead guitarist and a primary songwriter. Unhappy with the band’s commercial ambitions, he split from the group in 1978 and went on to continue exploring neo-classical metal with his next band, Electric Sun, and then as a solo artist. He also invented his own guitar, the six-octave Sky guitar, which was designed to evoke the higher registers of a violin. Many of his solo studio albums are planted solidly in prog-rock (he’s recorded a few of them with orchestras), but recently Roth seems to be in a Scorpions state of mind. His latest releases feature new arrangements of songs from the Scorpions songbook.

THEATRE

Lambarena

Milwaukee Ballet will dance San Francisco choreographer Val Caniparoli’s Lambarena, a global embrace of a ballet. “Val creates from the inspiration of the music,” said Maiqui Mañosa, who is in Milwaukee to stage Caniparoli’s work as she does internationally. Lambarena uses music

by Gabonese composer Pierre Akendengué and French arranger Hughes de Courson created to honor Nobel Peace Prize winner Albert Schweitzer for his medical missionary work in the city of Lambaréné in Gabon, Africa. Their score merges music by the German baroque-era composer Johann Sebastian Bach, beloved by Schweitzer, with the drum-driven music of West Africa.

The dance “recognizes both cultures, so far apart in terms of style,” Mañosa said. “Ballet takes a more ethereal approach and has a constricted vocabulary; African movement is earthy and organic. To find a common ground is where Lambarena comes in. Both styles are respected; they’re fused but they’re both authentic. Val is trying to show that there is a unifying thread, that dance is for all of us. You can be African, American, from the East, from the South, it doesn’t keep you from enjoying and understanding and living the movement.” World premieres by the 2017 Genesis winners George Williamson and Enrico Morelli will complete the program. (John Schneider) April 4-7 at the Marcus Performing Arts Center, 929 N. Water St. For tickets, call 414-902-2103 or visit milwaukeeballet.org.

Just a Conversation Over Chicken and Dumplings

Bronzeville Arts Ensemble presents the world-premiere production of Milwaukee author Michelle Dobbs’ play, Just A Conversation Over Chicken And Dumplings. The play will be directed by Sheri Williams Pannell. Dobbs herein details a secret about her family’s history found hidden in oil paintings by her deceased uncle, artist James Moore Jr. When Lilly Moore—a descendant of 19thcentury settlers of Rock Island County, Ill., sorts through her deployed brother’s home, she discovers that he has left the secrets of their family in plain sight—captured in paintings he left behind.

Nothing is as it seems as she learns important lessons of love, loss, changing times and a new frontier—all during something as casual and simple as some conversations over chicken and dumplings.

How to Write a New Book for the Bible

“People keep trying to turn the Bible into a rule book; it’s not. It’s the story of a family.” That’s how Next Act Theatre’s season-ending play, How to Write a New Book for the Bible, begins.

Following the time-honored writers’ advice to write what you know, playwright Bill Cain has fashioned his new play into a love letter to the family he knows and loves best of all. He draws upon his time caring for his ailing but still feisty mother.

Next Act producing artistic director David Cecsarini serves as director for this production. “Cain brings a fascinating perspective to this simple, powerful illustration of why the details of our lives and loves matter,” says Cecsarini. “The play is also Cain’s autobiographical exploration of spirituality and what [he believes] brings meaning to our existence.” The cast includes Carrie Hitchcock, Jonathan Wainwright, Norman Moses and Jack Dwyer. (John Jahn) April 4-28 at Next Act Theatre, 255 S. Water St. For tickets, call 414-278-0765 or visit nextact.org.

DANCE

“Between Constructions of Desire”

The giant window and view of the city it offers from the lovely Jan Serr Studio on the sixth floor of UW-Milwaukee’s Kenilworth building is the backdrop for a multi-disciplinary performance installation by choreographer-director Maria Gillespie. Her collaborators are dancers Katelyn Altmann, Amanda Laabs and Annie Peterson, musician-composer C. Olivia Valenza and sculptor Glenn Williams—the latter known for expansive architectural constructions that invite habitation.

“It’s been a slow process to inquire differently about what dancing bodies convey and communicate,” Gillespie says.

“We’ve been testing the edge of what dancing is, what kinetic versus spatial limitations are and how bodies inform space rather than the usual notion that space and architecture design bodies.”

(John Schneider) April 5-6 at UWM’s Kenilworth Square East, 2155 N. Prospect Ave. For tickets, visit hyperlocalmke.com.

Remembering a Woman at War in ‘Pictures of Resistance’

T

::BY DAVID LUHRSSEN

he millions of Jews murdered during the Holocaust are often depicted as going to their deaths without the opportunity to struggle for their lives. However, some were able to fight back. One of them, Faye Schulman, fought with a camera as well as a rifle.

The pictures she took are at the heart of an exhibition at the Jewish Museum Milwaukee—“Pictures of Resistance: The Wartime Photographs of Jewish Partisan Faye Schulman”—through May 26.

Schulman was a teenager when World War II began. In 1939, her Polish village fell to the Soviets and in 1941, it was overrun by the Nazis. Schulman worked for her brother, who owned the town’s only photo studio, and as a result, the Nazis deemed her as being useful. They preserved her life, tasking her with documenting their reign of terror in her district of Poland. Among other things, Schulman was forced to photograph the mass graves filled with friends and relatives outside her village.

She eventually escaped to the forest and joined a Soviet-led partisan brigade fighting the Germans from behind the lines.

Women constituted a small minority among the partisans. According to Molly Dubin, curator at the Jewish Museum, the men “often thought that women were not able to handle rifles.” But proving herself as a woman soldier wasn’t the most dangerous challenge Schulman faced.

Many of her partisan comrades were almost as anti-Semitic as their Nazi foes and spoke openly of killing Jews. She hid her ethnicity and observed Passover quietly. “For many Jewish partisans, there was the risk that you might be killed by the person you were fighting alongside almost as much as being killed by the enemy,” Dubin says.

Several of the black-and-white photographs in “Pictures of Resistance” feature a striking woman in a leopard-skin coat with 28 | A P R I L 4 , 2 0 1 9

matching pillbox hat, often brandishing an assault rifle. That woman was Schulman, the photos taken with a timer on her German RollFilm camera, a device easily cradled in the palms of both hands.

Photographic supplies, along with food and arms, were secured in night raids on German-held villages. Schulman developed her photos in any available dark spot.

Her work has gritty authority as well as an eye for composition.

Combat shots were virtually impossible under the circumstances; instead, she documented her brigade in group and individual portraits and shed light onto life in the forest camps from which the partisans operated. One picture (taken at a discreet distance) shows surgery in progress, the patient stretched out on an operating table improvised from tree branches. A particularly beautiful photograph shows Schulman and a comrade in a long canoe, reflected along with the forest on the shore behind them on the still waters of a river.

“Pictures of Resistance” includes a 40-minute interview video with Schulman and an eye-catching touch-screen interactive panel—designed by MSOE students—that allows viewers to follow the shifting borders and frontlines of World War II on a map of Europe.

Schulman, now in her 90s and living in Toronto, Canada, is unable to attend the exhibition.

Says Dubin: “Her attitude was, ‘If I’m going to die, I’ll die fighting.’” “Pictures of Resistance” is a unique visual document of a theatre in the struggle against Nazism that remains under-recognized.

April is National Poetry Month, and to celebrate, Shorewood Public Library presents collaborative art titled “(re) Visions: words into pictures, pictures into words,” by photographer Karen Peugh and poet CJ Muchhala. “(re) Visions” features poems inspired by photographs and vice versa. Peugh’s and Muchhala’s intent is to expand the meaning of both pictures and words; the pictures are not illustrations, and the poems are not descriptions. The 11 photographs and 10 poems speak to a variety of subjects, from humans’ interactions with Lake Michigan to a child’s view of her grandmother. A reception and poetry reading takes place there on Thursday, April 11, 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.

“Every once in a while, we need to reflect on who we are and who positively impacts our art community. With this exhibition, I wanted to celebrate the energy and dedication these individuals bring to building Milwaukee’s creative culture,” explains curator Josh Hintz about “MKE Influencers.”

This group exhibition features 38 Milwaukee artists who have made considerable achievements and contributions within their respective fields. Each artist herein exhibits one work; the sum total represents nearly every field within the visual arts. The exhibit delivers a multitude of disciplines, objects and aesthetics, as well as artistic backgrounds, histories and identities. For more information, visit varwestgallery.com.

A&E::FILM

[ FILM CLIPS ] The Best of Enemies PG-13

Adapted from the Osha Gray Davidson novel, The Best of Enemies is based on an unlikely friendship between black civil rights activist Ann Atwater (Taraji P. Henson) and Ku Klux Klansman C. P. Ellis (Sam Rockwell). In the early 1960s, they are on opposite sides of school desegregation in Durham, N.C. However, after co-chairing a series of community meetings, the pair came to realize they have more in common than either imagined. Highlighting our ability to overcome stereotypes and prejudice brings hopefulness to this story that also depicts the cruel treatment ignorance inspires. (Lisa Miller)

Pet Sematary R

Mainly a remake of the 1989 chiller, this Stephen King adaptation deviates just enough. Louis and Rachel Creed (Jason Clarke and Amy Seimetz, respectively) move with their two young children and the family cat to Maine’s countryside. When the cat suddenly dies, neighbor Jud Crandall (John Lithgow) reveals that burying the cat in the graveyard labeled “Pet Sematary” will cause it to be resurrected. The cat returns, but it’s different. Undeterred, when one of his children dies, Louis buries the child there as well; the child returns—with a much darker personality. While the characters are underdeveloped, the film has scares that can also be amusing. (L.M.)

Shazam! PG-13

This sly adaptation resonates with the 1940s mindset, a time when “Shazam!” was the most popular DC comic book. The updated story follows 14-year-old foster kid Billy (Asher Angel), magically given powers by wizard Shazam (Djimon Hounsou). Billy transforms into a spandex-clad 35-year-old superhero by saying “Shazam!” and can then fly, repel bullets and shoot lightning from his hands. Still a child inside, the adult world is confusing to Billy, especially when a supervillain (Mark Strong)—accompanied by the Seven Deadly Sins (in CGI)—arrives determined to destroy Shazam. Witty and joke-laden, the film’s few dark scenes feel out of place. (L.M.)

[ HOME MOVIES / NOW STREAMING ] n Nazi Junkies

Although it sounds like a bad History Channel show, the documentary is as factual as it is fascinating. Based on research by German writer Norman Ohler, the “revelations” are not as startling as presented. Historians have long known of Adolf Hitler’s dependence on a medicine chest of vitamin, hormone and steroid injections. Eventually, he was prescribed cocaine. However, Ohler’s examination of the records left by Hitler’s physician, Theodor Morell, reveal new details, including the use of opiates. In the last half of 1944, Hitler was injecting a daily speedball that engendered euphoria and a false sense of invincibility.

The documentary fans out from the Führer to show that the Nazi regime distributed uppers of one sort or another to millions of its people.

Was the whole nation on a raging amphetamine bender? Hitler’s drug addiction doesn’t explain his ideas but casts new light on the reckless pursuit of his ambitions.

n Ritual: A Psychomagic Story

Lia is a psychologically fragile woman with a psychologically cruel boyfriend, Viktor. He reluctantly accompanies her to visit her aunt, reputed as a benign sorceress in the remote village where Lia was born. How the tension between man and women is resolved (or not) becomes strangely compelling in this artfully composed film by Italy’s Giulia Brazzale and Luca Immesi.

The acclaimed Chilean auteur Alejandro Jodorowsky guest stars as the aunt’s dead (yet still present) husband.

n Zizou and the Arab Spring

Tunisia is where the Arab Spring began (2010) and is the only country where it ended happily—so happily that Tunisians can laugh about their revolution. In Férid Boughedir’s comedy, an innocent small-town boy in the big city of Tunis stumbles around a gallery of comical types, just looking for work, as dissatisfaction simmers against the kleptocratic regime of Ben Ali (whose portrait smiles from every wall). The humor is evident across any language barrier.

::BY DAVID LUHRSSEN

or several years after the Civil War ended, in a period called the Reconstruction, the federal government tried to transform the former slave states of the Confederacy through civil rights legislation, especially the guarantee of one man, one vote regardless of color. However, massive resistance by white Southerners, including Ku Klux Klan violence, turned the clock backwards for African Americans. Most Yankees were eager to restore the Union, even if that restoration meant leaving blacks outside. Federal courts proved unsympathetic to the post-Civil War Civil Rights Act and ruled in favor of white Southern interests. With Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), the U.S. Supreme Court solidified segregation by declaring the legitimacy of “separate but equal.” Of course, there could be no equality when the terms of separation were defined by white supremacists.

With Stony the Road (Penguin Press), Henry Louis Gates Jr. examines how the defeated slave owners and their supporters disenfranchised the freed slaves, reestablished a plantation economy and reduced blacks to virtual non-citizens in the Reconstruction’s long aftermath. At the same time, he also explores the pushback in the form of the “New Negro,” the effort led by black artists and intellectuals to reclaim their dignity and the rights of citizenship in the face of a full-bore campaign to depict blacks as inferior and unworthy of sitting at the same lunch counter as whites, much less voting or holding office.

Taking his title from a verse of the NAACP’s anthem, “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” Gates’s Stony the Road is a cultural history of the imagery and ideology of white supremacy and its opponents. The illustrations help to summarize the narrative and the sentiments behind blatant 19th-century caricatures— showing blacks as indolent, ignorant and dangerous—continue to circulate today. One difference between then and now is that, well into the 20th century, mainstream companies employed degrading depictions of blacks in advertising and race hatred was casually displayed. Gates reproduces a disturbing 1908 postcard, a black-and-white photo of five black men hanging from tree branches captioned with doggerel: “In the Sunny South, the Land of the Free/Let the White Supreme forever be.” Of local interest, a 1942 brochure for the YMCA’s Camp Minikani in Hubertus with “Hit the Nigger Baby” featured as one of the summertime attractions.

Pictures tell the story but the underlying assumptions were articulated more fully in other media and forums. Gates investigates “plantation literature,” the novels and stories promoting the notion of happy slaves laboring under kindly masters in the antebellum South. Gone With the Wind goes unmentioned but became the ultimate plantation novel.

More disturbing than fiction were pernicious ideas presented as facts. Even more than religious quacks who spoke of a “separate creation” or a divine curse for blacks (Gates neglects to show that most Christian groups never embraced that dogma), science played a leading role in establishing the respectability of racism. Linking race with evolutionary theory, anthropologists at major universities proclaimed Northern Europeans (“Aryans”) as the most highly evolved species with greater capacity for intelligence than other races.

The “New Negro” fought back, especially under the example (if not leadership) of the polymath-activist W.E.B. Du Bois, the first black Harvard graduate. They were not widely listened to at first, but their work eventually led to the unravelling of legally imposed segregation in the 1950s and ’60s. However, even if the beliefs underlying white supremacy are long discredited, Gates has little trouble showing that the reality linked to those beliefs, including “the choking off of access to capital and property ownership” and inflammatory images of black criminality “still roams freely in our country today.”

e are taught that education is a great equalizer. With good schooling, many believe, young people can break free from oppressions related to race, gender and socioeconomic status. In 1906 California, not many—if any—Chinese girls were allowed access to high-quality schooling. Fifteen-yearold Mercy Wong is determined to change this. She is the fierce young protagonist with an indomitable spirit in Stacey Lee’s second novel, Outrun the Moon.

Plucky Mercy digs in her heels and uses her cunning wit to gain admittance into St. Clare’s School for Girls, a place that’s off-limits to all but the wealthiest of white girls. With a fortune-teller mother and a father who works 16-hour days in a laundromat, even Mercy knew that life at St. Clare’s would be anything but easy. After the Great Earthquake of 1906 strikes San Francisco, Mercy struggles to make sense of the enormity of the catastrophe and how to assist the community amidst such devastation. In the process, she challenges long-held assumptions and stereotypes that today’s readers will relate to all too well. Outrun the Moon, which has been awarded the PEN Center USA Literary Award for Children’s and Young Adult Literature, is an engaging historical novel told from diverse perspectives, as well as a powerful testament to individual activism, self-determination and sheer grit.

Lee is the author of the critically acclaimed young adult novel Under a Painted Sky. She resides in San Francisco but will visit Milwaukee for a speaking event at the Lynden Sculpture Garden at 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 6. Cosponsored by Boswell Book Co., tickets cost $14 and include a copy of the novel Outrun the Moon.

!

::BY JEAN-GABRIEL FERNANDEZ

our hundred years ago, the first Africans were brought to America as servants, and 20 or so of them disembarked in Jamestown, Va.; the course of history changed that very day. To commemorate this event, Rev. Jeffrey Powell (JP) and Shelia Payton (SP) have been working since October 2018 to coordinate citywide efforts from numerous organizations. This includes events by Black Arts MKE, Bronzeville Arts Ensemble, Black Inventors Gallery, the Milwaukee Art Museum and many more.

Off the Cuff caught up with the organizers to discuss the commemoration. !

What motivated you to commemorate this event in particular?

JP: The Hebrews were enslaved for 400 years, and they had the promise that God would lead them and do something good for them. If we are to trust and believe that a change will come for African Americans, what is it that we need to do in order to be prepared for that change? I think part of that is revisiting where we come from—taking a very critical look at where we are and planning to go forward into the future—hopefully into a new 400 years that will give us much better results that what we’ve had so far in this country.

What form does the commemoration take?

SP: Initially, it was supposed to be a week-long commemoration.

As I was making a list of organizations and institutions that have resources and experience fitting our expectations, I realized that we had enough people to expand into a year-long commemoration.

We want to focus not only on what happened between the 1600s and the present, not just on the arrival and the challenges that people faced afterward, but also talk about the contributions,

32 | A P R I L 4 , 2 0 1 9

the impact and the influence that people of African descent have had on the world. The idea from the very beginning involved making a citywide effort towards cultural exposure.

There are many different types of contributions to the commemoration, and that is intentional. You don’t want to have just one note played in a symphony, so we let each organization play the notes that they play well, and that gives people multiple opportunities to explore the contributions and impact of African Americans on this country.

Can you share some highlights of the program?

SP: The arts can bring people together who might otherwise not come together. So, I thought about the Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee Public Museum, the Milwaukee Public Library System, etc., which are institutions that have the resources and in the past had programming that would have fit the commemoration.

In addition, there is the Black Holocaust Museum, which was founded by the only known person to have survived a lynching.

We think the museum can generate a conversation among people from various backgrounds, help them to think about their interactions with each other, the commonalities of human beings and bridging the gap so that horrors like lynchings never happen again.

There are others like the Black Historical Society, which focuses on the history of African Americans in Wisconsin, Ko-Thi Dance Company that celebrates art from the African diaspora and more.

JP: This is our message. This is what we achieved in the last 400 years, and we expect to achieve much more in the future.

The couple’s flag, which in homage to our na& tional emblem bears the traditional star-studded canton with stripes in rainbow colors rather than ('9! #79! +%*$')! +#,! .(9'('9! $.! -'! $#='7! 9.+7! because, according to their landlord, displaying flags on the property is forbidden under the terms of their lease. Furthermore, the letter demanded the flag’s removal within five days. Non-compli& ance, it warned, would result in their eviction.

It should be mentioned that the same couple received a similar notice months ago. That inci& dent was over a Green Bay Packers flag. Our duo presumed the nature of the flag had something to do with the order. Perhaps it could be somehow construed as a commercial endorsement (or per&

SHEPHERD EXPRESS

haps the landlord was a Bears fan?). Either way, they dutifully took down the Packer flag. They raised the rainbow flag some months later.

Another letter promptly arrived and demand& ed its removal citing their lease agreement. The problem is, the lease makes no mention of a ban of flags whatsoever. Besides, other apart& ment porches are festooned with flags, and those tenants did not receive a letter demanding their removal. In fact, one man, interviewed on a TV segment, explained he had been flying his for years and had never been asked to remove it. In his case, the fluttering flag is a typical American one, albeit in severely distressed condition, its fly end frayed, and the individual stripes sepa& rated down to the canton, reminiscent of a battlescarred standard from Iwo Jima. By comparison, the targeted tenants’ rainbow ensign is bright and fresh. So it clearly wasn’t a matter of an obses& sion with pristine property appearance.

Bieck Management, however, adamantly insisted the complaint was not discrimination.

However, according to the tenants, it offered no plausible defense for this selective enforcement of what appeared to be a non-existent regula& tion. Then what, pray tell, could it be? It certainly seems an odd coincidence that this couple has been singled out for non-infractions while other flags, tattered as they might be, continue to fly unfurled. Meanwhile, Messrs. Malterer and Kollmann argued their flag represents their pride in their country and their LGBTQ identity.

This situation is nothing new. Cases have cropped up in Milwaukee and across the country with the ACLU often representing the tenants.

Usually, it turns out that a landlord has inter& preted a lease maintenance clause too broadly.

But these efforts have failed on various grounds, especially when it is clear that rainbow flags are the only ones that elicit complaint. Inevitably, tenants win. Then, in a !"#$%"&%'()*+,(!6.6'7$)! or perhaps in the face of bad press bursting in air, the landlord rescinded the eviction threat and our rainbow flag does yet wave, gallantly streaming.

!"#$%&'()*'+,& -#.#/&'+#0$12345$672'0" ::BY MICHAEL CARRIERE

n paper, the idea behind the Chicago-based act The Eradicator sounds more than a bit thin: Base a punk band on a five-minute skit performed by the Kids in the Hall comedy troupe once on their television show in 1989. Sure, the skit is pure comedy gold, with Bruce McCulloch as “The Eradicator,” a ski-mask-wearing squash player wreaking havoc on the corporate lackeys who make up the rungs of the D-squash ladder at the local gym. But is that enough inspiration to account for a 10-inch EP, a 7-inch single, an LP and even a Christmas album?

Astoundingly, the answer to this question is a resounding “yes.” Anyone who has heard McCulloch yell “ERRRAADDDICAATTOR!” at the top of his lungs knows the character was a punk at heart, while his failed attempt to climb the D-squash ladder infuses the character with a surprising amount of emotional depth and pathos. “I always loved it [the skit],” notes The Eradicator founder Andy Slania (who, like his inspiration, always performs in a ski mask), “but especially over time… There’s a lot to unpack in a short amount of time.” And Slania, through such songs as “My Mighty Scream,” “One Rung at a Time,” and the wonderfully titled “Wake, Hydrate, Squash a Pusshead, Stretch, Sleep, Repeat” really makes the character his own. Such songs are raging sing-along punk anthems that make you forget you’re singing about a character that is now more than 30 years old.

And Slania is the first to admit that he is playing a character, which allows

the audience to be in on the joke and just have fun with the concept. “It’s definitely a character that I am playing,” he says, “and it allows me to completely be outside of myself, which the mask also helps with.” Such a feeling of freedom may be behind Slania’s decision to release The Court’s Closed on Christmas, an album which includes covers of Minor Threat’s “In My Eyes” and the Descendents’ “I’m the One”—only redone with squash-related lyrics, with the former recast as “In My Court” and the latter retitled as “I’m Not the One.” So, does that mean that punk legends like Ian MacKaye and Bill Stevenson now know of The Eradicator? “I actually reached out to Dischord and they were very nice about it and requested copies of it,” explains Slania. Following his request to Epitaph Records for permission to use the Descendents’ song, Slania received an email from drummer Stevenson, also requesting copies of the album. “Never in a The Eradicator million years did I think I’d get that type of request,” exclaims Slania, “and I’m guessing they probably X-Ray Arcade didn’t either!”

Saturday, April 6, Slania is excited to bring The Eradicator to Mil8 p.m. waukee, where he will be backed by a band featuring Steve Maury and Danny Walkowiak from local favorites Direct Hit. Expect to hear fan favorites like “I’m a Squash Man” (do yourself a favor and Google the video for the song), but also new songs from Peak Eradicator, the band’s second album which will be released later this year. He also hopes that this record will be the one that puts the band on McCulloch’s radar. “The Kids in the Hall Twitter account,” concludes Slania, “re-tweeted a link to an article of mine, so maybe he knows about it.” A squash punk can dream, can’t he?

The Eradicator plays X-Ray Arcade on Saturday, April 6, at 8 p.m. with Okilly Dokilly (a Ned Flanders-themed metal band) and Playboy Manbaby.

::BY EVAN RYTLEWSKI

ose of the West singer Gina Barrington says that for years she’s had a distinct vision for the band’s sound, a shadowy hybrid of trip-hop, dream-pop and shoegaze that doesn’t play by the strict conventions of any given style. But converting the music that’s in your head to tape is never easy, and it’s even harder still when it requires the right people to help you materialize it.

Barrington said an early version of the band, then called Nightgown, fizzled out after clashes over creative control. “It wasn’t true to the music,” she says of the project.

“There were a lot of hands that were trying to take over and create the sound, when I felt like it was already there but nobody wanted to listen to me.” That was just the first of a series of false starts for the band that would become Rose of the West, as Barrington spent several years rotating through different lineups that didn’t pan out for a variety of personal or creative reasons.

Eventually, Barrington says, the pieces fell into place and she found a lineup that worked: guitarist/synth player Thomas Gilbert, formerly of GGOOLLDD; bassist Cedric LeMoyne, a veteran touring musician who’s played with Remy Zero and Alanis Morissette; keyboardist Erin Wolf, of Hello Death; and drummer Dave Power, of The Staves. For Rose of the West’s self-titled debut album, that seasoned crew helped flesh out and expand on the songs and loops that Barrington was constructing on her own and turn them into music as voluptuous Rose of and immersive as Barrington’s voice. the West “Everything came pretty close to what I imagined, but it’s also just much more than I ever expected,” Barrington says. “Listening Mad Planet to it I’m very happy. I never imagined everything sounding as Saturday, lush and beautiful as it does.”

April 6, Cast in the nocturnal glamour of goth touchstones like Echo and 8 p.m. the Bunnymen and The Cure, the band’s widescreen sound helps take the sting out of songs that Barrington admits aren’t always an easy listen. “About 50% of them were written some years back when I was going through personal things,” Barrington says. “I don’t write the happiest songs.

I write for people who are looking to feel some kind of happiness or be fulfilled in their sadness. And the second half of them were written at a time when I was really going through some hard stuff. I was losing the matriarch of my family and my husband lost his brother to an overdose, so we were dealing with a lot of big, huge life stuff. And I tend to bring that into whatever I’m writing, even if I don’t think about it consciously.”

The pervasive mournfulness of Rose of the West’s music helped the band land a prominent placement last year in “You,” the buzzy thriller that Netflix rescued from obscurity on Lifetime. The program used the band’s debut single “Hunter’s Will” during a pivotal scene where (spoilers) the show’s antagonist stalker chases down and viciously attacks another character as she jogs through Central Park, seemingly killing her—a dramatic moment that called for a fittingly dramatic song.

“That was great for us, because it gave us some awareness right before this record was being finished,” Barrington says. “That show came out right at the right time when we were starting to let people know what our plans as a band were.

That song isn’t on the record but it’s opened a lot of people’s eyes to us.”

Rose of the West play an album release show Saturday, April 6, at Mad Planet at 8 p.m. with openers Cashfire Sunset and a DJ set from Warpaint’s Jenny Lee. The band will also play an in-store at the Exclusive Company at 1669 N. Farwell Ave. on Friday, April 5, at 7 p.m.

MUSIC::LISTINGS

::ALBUMS John Coltrane

Coltrane ’58:The Prestige Recordings (CRAFT RECORDINGS) The year 1958 was a pivotal one for saxophonist John Coltrane. He was nearing the end of his historic relationship with trumpeter Miles Davis, which had catapulted him from session player to bona fide star. Davis, in turn, was nearing the end of his relationship with Prestige Records, which had recently signed Coltrane to his own recording contract. The two jazz stars had collided, sparks flew, and a newly enlightened Coltrane went on to create a set of 37 fiery tracks at producer Rudy Van Gelder’s Hackensack, N.J., studio. Those tracks have been compiled by Craft Recordings and will be released on eight vinyl LPs, five CDs and digital media.

Early Coltrane blends with an emerging artist he was becoming on these tracks, which run from ballads to bebop to Broadway. The players include guitarist Kenny Burrell, pianist Red Garland, trumpeters Donald Byrd, Freddie Hubbard and Wilbur Harden, bassist Paul Chambers and drummers Art Taylor, Jimmy Cobb and Louis Hayes. The clarity of the remastered 60-yar-old recordings is remarkable. Coltrane ’58 captures one of the most important years in the performance life of perhaps the most important jazz sax player ever to blow.

No collection is complete without Coltrane’s Prestige recordings.

—Michael Muckian

Zach Pietrini Band

Denver Sessions

The last long-player by Milwaukee’s Zach Pietrini Band, 2017’s Holding Onto Ghosts, centered its folk-rocking Americana sound around Pietrini’s experiences of being a husband and father.

With that as a prior standard, the seven songs comprising Denver Sessions aren’t as overall joyful, but instead work as a song cycle starting in dark indifference and eventually reaching for affirmation and hope. Correspondingly, Pietrini and his mates work up some of their hardest-edged material toward the start of Denver Sessions and ease toward balladry that could invite the lifting of lighters (maybe smartphones nowadays) in the right concert setting. They’re a rootsy act in which their hometown can take pride until the rest of the world catches up. But here’s hoping ol’ Zach is in a happier place than he was during the start of these Sessions.

—Jamie Lee Rake

::FREEWILLASTROLOGY ::BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): A mushroom shaped like a horse’s hoof grows on birch trees in parts of Europe and the U.S. If you strip off its outer layer, you get amadou, spongy stuff that’s great for igniting fires. It’s not used much anymore, but it was a crucial resource for some of our ancestors. As for the word “amadou,” it’s derived from an old French term that means “tinder, kindling, spunk.”The same word was formerly used to refer to a person who is quick to light up or to something that stimulates liveliness. In accordance with astrological omens, I’m making “Amadou” your nickname for the next four weeks.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them,” wrote novelist Gabriel García Márquez. “Life obliges them over and over to give birth to themselves.” Here’s what I’ll add to that: As you mature, you do your best to give birth to ever-new selves that are in alignment with the idealistic visions you have of the person you want to become. Unfortunately, most of us aren’t skilled at that task in adolescence and early adulthood, and so the selves we create may be inadequate or delusory or distorted. Fortunately, as we learn from our mistakes, we eventually learn to give birth to selves that are strong and righteous. The only problem is that the old false selves we generated along the way may persist as ghostly echoes in our psyche. And we have a sacred duty to banish those ghostly echoes. I tell you this, Taurus, because the coming months will be an excellent time to do that banishing. Ramp up your efforts NOW! GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “When spring came, there were no problems except where to be happiest,” wrote Ernest Hemingway in his memoir. He quickly amended that statement, though, mourning, “The only thing that could spoil a day was people.” Then he ventured even further, testifying, “People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.” I bring these thoughts to your attention so as to prepare you for some good news. In the next three weeks, I suspect you will far exceed your quota for encounters with people who are not “limiters of happiness”—who are as good as spring itself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): It’s time to prove that Cancerians have more to offer than nurturing, empathizing, softening the edges, feeling deeply, getting comfortable and being creative. Not that there’s anything wrong with those talents. On the contrary! They’re beautiful and necessary. It’s just that for now you need to avoid being pigeonholed as a gentle, sensitive soul. To gather the goodies that are potentially available to you, you’ll have to be more forthright and aggressive than usual. Is it possible for you to wield a commanding presence? Can you add a big dose of willfulness and a pinch of ferocity to your self-presentation? Yes and yes!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): General Motors manufactured a car called the Pontiac Aztek from 2001 to 2005. It wasn’t commercially successful. One critic said it looked like “an angry kitchen appliance,” and many others agreed it was exceptionally unstylish. But later the Aztek had an odd revival because of the popularity of the TV show “Breaking Bad.” The show’s protagonist, Walter White, owned one, and that motivated some of his fans to emulate his taste in cars. In accordance with astrological omens, Leo, I suspect that something of yours may also enjoy a second life sometime soon.

An offering that didn’t get much appreciation the first time around may undergo a resurgence. Help it do so.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Of all the female sins, hunger is the least forgivable,” laments feminist author Laurie Penny. She’s referring to the hunger “for anything, for food, sex, power, education, even love.” She continues: “If we have desires, we are expected to conceal them, to control them, to keep ourselves in check. We are supposed to be objects of desire, not desiring beings.” I’ve quoted her because I suspect it’s crucial for you to not suppress or hide your longings in the coming weeks. That’s triply true if you’re a woman, but also important if you’re a man or some other gender. You have a potential to heal deeply if you get very clear about what you hunger for and then express it frankly.

SHEPHERD EXPRESS

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Only one of Nana Mouskouri’s vocal cords works, but over the course of an almost 60-year career, the Libran singer has sold more than 30 million records in 12 different languages. Many critics speculate that her apparent disadvantage is key to her unique style. She’s a coloratura mezzo, a rare category of chanteuse who sings ornate passages with exceptional agility and purity. In the coming weeks, I suspect that you will be like Mouskouri in your ability to capitalize on a seeming lack or deprivation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your tribe is symbolized by three animals: the scorpion, the eagle and the mythological phoenix.

Some astrologers say that the scorpion is the ruling creature of “unevolved” or immature Scorpios, whereas the eagle and phoenix are associated with those of your tribe who express the riper, more enlightened qualities of your sign. But I want to put in a plug for the scorpion as being worthy of all Scorpios. It is a hardy critter that rivals the cockroach in its ability to survive—and even thrive in—less than ideal conditions. For the next two weeks, I propose we make it your spirit creature.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian novelist Gustave Flaubert declared that it’s “our duty is to feel what is sublime and cherish what is beautiful.” But that’s a demanding task to pull off on an ongoing basis. Maybe the best we can hope for is to feel what’s sublime and cherish what’s beautiful for 30-35 days every year. Having said that, though, I’m happy to tell you that in 2019 you could get all the way up to 95-100 days of feeling what’s sublime and cherishing what’s beautiful. And as many as 15 to 17 of those days could come during the next 21.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Sommeliers are people trained to perceive the nuances of wine. By sampling a few sips, the best sommeliers can discern facts about the type of grapes that were used to make the wine and where on earth they were grown. I think that in the coming weeks you Capricorns should launch an effort to reach a comparable level of sensitivity and perceptivity about any subject you care about. It’s a favorable time to become even more masterful about your specialties; to dive deeper into the areas of knowledge that captivate your imagination.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Every language is a work-in-progress. New words constantly insinuate themselves into common usage, while others fade away. If you traveled back in time to 1719 while remaining in your current location, you’d have trouble communicating with people of that era. And today linguistic evolution is even more rapid than in previous ages. The Oxford English Dictionary adds more than 1,000 new words annually. In recognition of the extra verbal skill and inventiveness you now possess, Aquarius, I invite you to coin a slew of your own fresh terms. To get you warmed up, try this utterance I coined: vorizzimo! It’s an exclamation that means “thrillingly beautiful and true.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): One of history’s most audacious con men was George C. Parker, a Pisces. He made his living selling property that did not legally belong to him, like the Brooklyn Bridge, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Statue of Liberty. I suspect you could summon his level of salesmanship and persuasive skills in the coming weeks. But I hope you will use your nearly magical powers to make deals and perform feats that have maximum integrity. It’s OK to be a teensy bit greedy, though.

Make America Grate Again

A

long the border between Mexico and the U.S., the battle over a wall rages on.

But one Los Angeles artist has taken matters into his own hands. Cosimo Cavallaro is repurposing blocks of expired cotija—a hard cheese from Mexico—to build his own wall in Tecate, Calif. Cavallaro’s wall is five feet high, and he hopes to make it about 1,000 feet long, he told the Los Angeles Times. “To spend all this money to keep dividing the countries I think is a waste,” Cavallaro said. “You can clearly see the waste in my wall, but you can’t see the waste in (Trump’s) $10 billion wall? It sounds cheesy, but just love one another.”

This Calls for a Border Wall!

At Palapas Tacos in Anaheim, Calif., the menu is presented in English and Spanish, which proved to be a bridge too far for one customer on March 25. On that day, a Monday, the unnamed man saw a sign advertising “Fish Tacos for $1.99 All Day” under the heading “Especial de Viernes,” or Friday Special. He became upset when he found out he couldn’t get the Friday special on Monday, yelling, “That’s bullshit! It says it in Mexican.

We’re not in Mexico! We’re in America! I’m an American!” Palapas’ owner (and fellow American), Juan del Rio, followed the man outside to talk with him, but the man pulled out his phone, saying he was going to call “Immigration! Because you’re not legal!” “I just feel like it’s sad that there’s people (who) actually think like this,” del Rio told FOX 11.

Garfield Far Afield Along the Iroise coast in Brittany, France, residents have been puzzled by a mysterious phenomenon for more than 30 years. Broken pieces of orange plastic landline phones in the shape of the cartoon character Garfield have been washing up on the beach. BBC News reports the mystery has now been solved: A local farmer remembered the phone parts started showing up after a particularly fierce storm in the early 1980s, and, more important, he also knew the location of a lost shipping container: a sea cave accessible only at low tide. Mem-

bers of the Ar Viltansou anti-litter campaign climbed down to the cave and found not only the remains of the container, but also yet more orange Garfield phones, preserved better than any that had made it to the beach. The container cannot be removed, so officials have pledged to keep picking up Garfield phones as they wash ashore.

Fly the Friendliest Skies Bystanders at Moscow’s Domodedovo Airport got an unexpected show on March 23 when an unnamed man made his way through Ural Airlines flight registration, and, while waiting to board the plane with fellow passengers, suddenly took off all his clothes. A fellow passenger told REN TV: “He shouted that he was naked because clothing impairs the ‘aerodynamics of the body.’ He said that he flies with more agility when naked.” The man, who hails from Yakutsk but lives near Moscow, was intercepted by airport staff before he made it to the plane and was turned over to police, then moved to a hospital. Oddly enough, witnesses said he did not appear to be drunk or high.

Just Hate it When This Happens Jarred Womack, 37, agreed to exchange pants with another man in Boulder, Colo., on Jan. 22, but after the trade, he decided he didn’t like the other man’s pants after all, so Womack stabbed the man in the back. Detectives investigating the incident later found the pants in question soiled with feces, which “could be the reason for the altercation,” according to the police affidavit. The Daily Camera reported that Womack was eventually charged with first-degree attempted murder, two counts of first-degree assault and robbery; the stabbing victim sustained life-threatening injuries.

Positively Charged Two employees of an Enterprise Rent-aCar store in Arnold, Mo., couldn’t figure out why they suddenly felt dizzy and shaky on March 14, but after visiting an urgent care center, they were transferred to a nearby hospital, KMOV reported. Police Lt. Clinton Wooldridge said officers questioned an unnamed 19-year-old Enterprise employee who admitted he put LSD in the water bottles of two of his co-workers (as well as in a third worker’s coffee cup) because they had “negative energy.” The two affected workers were fine after the drug wore off, and law enforcement is waiting for lab results before charging the young man, possibly with second-degree assault and possession of a controlled substance. © 2019 ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION A P R I L 4 , 2 0 1 9 | 41

The question is this: !"#$%&#'()*('+#",)$#$)&-'./#%&+#%0'/1#23.#+)#2'# /45**#3%('#$)&-'./#%&+#%0'/6 The most thoughtful answer I can conjure as to why we still have mon7 keys and apes is that what and/or whom could the Republicans possibly rely on to constitute the so-called base of their focked-up anti-human party?

7%8+5&9: Anyways, it’s come to my attention that there’s only a couple, three weeks remaining on Lent’s penitential calendar before the big Easter Sun7 day shebang, and as a longtime Catholic of the lapsed order I have yet to decide what I ought to give up and forego for the Lenten season—until right now. The best I can come up with at this rather late date is to faithfully give up and fast from the luxury of completing this goddamn essay, praise the lord. Done and done.

Yes sir, I’m praying that such a pious lack of effort on my part might even be good enough to knock off a couple, three hundred years from the holy ghastly total purgatory time I’m sure I’m sentenced to serve ’til I get sprung to heaven where I just might check into filling out an angel applica7 tion, what the fock.

I’ll tell you what sucks, though, and that would be our Catholic prison7 ers locked up in the hoosegow for this-and-that during their stay on our earthly Earth. Imagine you finally served your time and get released from the big house and you’re walking across the street to enjoy your first icecold bottled beer in twenty-focking-five years and you get hit by a bus.

Next thing you know, you wake up in purgatory where you’re scheduled to spend the next 3,000 years with nothing to wear but a soiled pair of BVDs chock-full of hot coals whilst getting bare-backed whipped 24/7. Yeah, that

42 | A P R I L 4 , 2 0 1 9

would blow big time, ain’a?

So before I go, it occurs to me that you’s may have some kids and/or grandkids coming by your place on the Easter Sunday. And these katzen7 jammers may wonder why the fock they’ve got to go searching for baskets and/or eggs instead of simply being handed the booty. Well, here’s the story you can pass over to them, in case you’ve forgotten. It may be in the Bible, although I can’t say for sure since I never ever did get all the way through that so-called good book: After the Roman soldiers took Christ off the cross, they chose a couple flunkies to guard the cave where they’d put the body. Well sir, these two goofballs got good and bored from guarding a dead guy so they went into town to enjoy a couple, three cocktails. The next morning, they made a routine check of the cave and the first thing they said was, “Jesus H. Christ!

This cave’s empty,” not realizing that by this time Jesus had been resur7 rected up to heaven. They thought somebody had snatched the body and hid it somewheres else, but they couldn’t very well ask other soldiers to help ’cause they knew they were in hot water.

So they asked a bunch of kids who were hanging around to help search.

Natch’, they didn’t find the Lord but the kids got a big charge from all the excitement anyways. The next year on the same day, the parents sent the kids out to look for Jesus again, if only to embarrass the Romans for losing or misplacing such a hot-shot like Christ. The years came and went and eventually parents decided to hide little candies and eggs around the town to find ’cause they thought it would be more fun for the kids than looking for a dead body.

Okey-doke. If the kids were bored with that story, they might more enjoy the following: 7,;',# 7'%,# %&+# 43'# <%/4',# 7=&&.# 2','# 4%-5&9# %# +=$0# 5&# 43'# 2))+/># 7,;',#7'%,#*))-'+#)(',#4)#43'#<%/4',#7=&&.#%&+#%/-'+?#@A,>#<%/4',#7=&&.1# +)#.)=#'(',#3%('#%#0,)B*'$#2543#0))0#/45C-5&9#4)#.)=,#"=,6D#E&+#43'#<%/4',# 7=&&.#,'0*5'+?#@F3.#&)1#7,;',#7'%,1#!#$)/4#C',4%5&*.#+)#&)4>D#G)#7,;',# 7'%,#250'+#35/#9%,9%&4=%&#%//#2543#43'#<%/4',#7=&&.1#%&+#%**#2%/#,5934#5&# 43'#2),*+> Ba-ding!

In conclusion, I say screw these religious holidays and religions with their hand in your pockets all the time. A Trinity? Fock. I got your “Trinity” right here: Good deeds, kind words and let a smile be your umbrella. Hal7 lelujah jubilee, ’cause I’m Art Kumbalek and I told you so.
