::NEWS!VIEWS FEATURES | POLLS | TAKING LIBERTIES | ISSUE OF THE WEEK

Evan Goyke is a Wisconsin State Representative from Milwaukee. He’s an attorney and a former Milwaukee County assistant public defender. !"#$%&'$()**$'+$"$*,((*)$"-&'($%&'.$-"/01.&'#23 I represent the 18th Assembly District, which is on the north and west side of the city of Milwaukee; I live on 27th and State, in the Historic Concordia neighborhood. This is the beginning of my fourth term, so I’ve been in office for just more than six years. This session, I’ve been appointed to the Joint Committee on Finance, which is the committee assigned to debate, amend and argue the state budget.

4)(5+$("*0$"-&'($(6)$-'21)(7$8&,#($9,#"#/)$:'+($1&($(6.&'16$;,(6$(6),.$ work on the state budget. This is the first time in eight years that we have split government in Wisconsin; the State Legislature is controlled by the Republicans, and the governor is a Democrat. Clearly, there have to be some negotiations this year on the budget. Can you tell us what happened?

The budget process this year was very, very different than prior budgets under former Gov. Scott Walker. In late February, Gov. Tony Evers presented his proposed state budget, and in the beginning of May, the Republicans—who control the Joint Finance Committee by a margin of 12 seats to four—basically threw Gov. Evers’ budget into the garbage can as their first act and began to rewrite it. But, they had to respond to the governor’s leadership, because many of his ideas are very popular throughout Wisconsin.

Piece by piece, the Republicans have put some of the governor’s issues into the budget. But, while they were on their own, they did this in secret meetings, coming out of a back room with a plan to try to catch up with Gov. Evers’ leadership on the issues; the primary three—the most-contested issues—concern what the state is going to do about health care, our transportation infrastructure and public education.

4)(5+$("0)$"$*&&0$"($(6)+)$(6.))<$+(".(,#1$;,(6$(6)$6)"*(6$/".)$,++')7$=$-,1$ part of this is Medicaid expansion, which any legitimate economist will tell you would lower health care costs for everybody in Wisconsin: your in> dividual health insurance costs or your employer’s health insurance costs.

What happened with Medicaid expansion?

Medicaid expansion was the most important issue we debated regarding health care; it is the most important health care-related issue in the governor’s proposed budget. The federal Affordable Care Act gives a financial incentive to states to expand eligibility to a larger population of lower-income people. We would have saved $324 million over the next two years if we expanded Medicaid in Wisconsin. That’s our money; that’s income taxes and sales taxes paid by Wisconsinites. We would have also received $1 billion in new federal spending for those people who would be newly eligible and covered under the expansion of Medicaid in Wisconsin.

What Gov. Evers proposed was using every dollar of that $324 million saved and reinvesting it in the state health care system—hospitals, nursing homes, public health, dental access—and so the governor’s plan had a ripple effect across the entire state—rural, urban, suburban—every Wisconsinite would have had some benefit through lower insurance premiums or access to care.

The Republicans, however, made an ideological choice not to expand Medicaid, which they call “welfare,” but they’re wrong. They argue that it will increase private insurance rates, but they’re wrong. They say that the federal government won’t be good for their money in future years, but they’re wrong.

However, they’ve made that decision, and so in order to be able to fund some of the priorities the governor proposed that are very needed and popular, the Republicans ended up spending more state tax dollars to cover fewer people and avoid receiving a billion dollars in federal money. What this has done is to put a hole in all other areas of the budget, like public education, because it sucked in so many of our general tax dollars.

Evers proposed a $1.4 billion increase in education funding, and really he proposed modernizing the whole education funding formula to better account for areas with higher rates of poverty, bilingual students and especially those with higher special education costs. The Republicans cut $900 million from his proposed education budget, arriving at a total of about $500 million new dollars, and they really missed the opportunity to invest in special education.

Every single district in the state is required to provide quality education to children with special needs; they have to fund it; they cannot reduce the funding that those young children need. Every school district in Wisconsin has the same problem: Special education costs are going up, but the rate that the state pays has not.

So school districts are shifting dollars from their general educational programming—arts, music, extra-curricular activities—to pay for their increasing special education needs.

What the governor proposed was a historic investment in special education, and he would have had the state paying 60% of the cost of special education by 2021, but under the Republican budget, we will only get to half of that, around 30%. So, what we know will happen is school districts will continue to struggle to properly fund special education. Thus, that hole will still be created in their general funds, so the non-special needs students will suffer with diminished educational opportunities throughout Wisconsin’s public schools, because districts are still required to fund special education, and the state’s not meeting its responsibility.

Evers proposed increasing the state gas tax by eight cents a gallon and the annual registration fee by $10 per vehicle. The Republicans refused to even consider the gas tax increase and instead proposed annual vehicle registration fee increases of $10 for cars and $25 for minivans and SUVs. Also, every time you buy a vehicle, you have to pay what’s called a title registration fee; it doesn’t matter if you buy a brand-new luxury car or an old jalopy, you have to pay the fee. The Republicans propose increasing that fee by 137%.

The governor and the Democrats in the state Legislature have made the argument that a gas tax is closer to a user fee. If you drive a lot, if

you use a lot of gas, you pay your share; if you drive less, you pay less in gas taxes, because you’re causing less wear and tear on the roads. Also, a gas tax takes money from everyone using the state’s roads, not just drivers who buy or register their vehicles here. Under our plan, people driving into Wisconsin from Illinois, for example, and buying gas here, would be paying their fair share of maintaining our roads, too. Under the Republican plan, though, it’s 100% on us, and we fail to capture our visitor’s spending.

Evers’ proposed budget made incredible investments in the city of Milwaukee, be that in infrastructure, kids or health. The Republicans treated Milwaukee, uniquely, very unfairly in a number of ways.

They cut $40 million that was proposed for lead abatement, which is a huge issue in our community, and they did it because, as they said in their own words, too much money is going to Milwaukee.

Ours is the only county that is not receiving any addition district attorneys. We were up for four additional positions, and the Republicans said no to all of them—though they funded such positions in two dozen other counties around the state.

There’s a Republican shared-revenue cut of 16% over the next two years to Milwaukee County—the only shared-revenue cut in the state. That means less state money toward the county’s sheriff’s budget, the parks budget, the transit budget… Gov. Evers had a proposal to expand a program to Milwaukee County for first-time, non-violent offenders in the criminal justice system, which the Republicans cut, while keeping it in place in other counties.

Time and time again, we heard the refrain that too much money was going to Milwaukee—the Republicans essentially pitting the rest of the state against the city and county of Milwaukee. =),5'(4)$(8-(")?5-)3--46)$,),5")(*97"%6.) ?5"%"),5")9-("8)+-9"6):%-9.)?5"%"),5")%"0< "(*") +-9"6) :%-9.) %"$3'G"6) ,5$,) E'3?$*4"") 5"$0'38)6*76'&'G"6),5")%"6,)-:),5")6,$,"1)H-),5"8) (-,)*(&"%6,$(&),5'6@ I think that Republicans understand but can’t publicly admit that.

Milwaukee generates the most wealth, the highest income and the most sales, income and corporate taxes. Without Milwaukee, the state wouldn’t have the revenue it spends on education or even for tax cuts. If the Republicans didn’t have Milwaukee, they wouldn’t be out there campaigning on cutting taxes, because the state wouldn’t have enough revenue to return it to people. They’re just dead wrong on their portrayal of Milwaukee and the benefits that we give to the state of Wisconsin.

ony Báez has always seen literature and education as ways to strengthen his activism and political arguments. As a young activist growing up in Puerto Rico, Báez looked up to prominent Latino leaders who fought for issues like Puerto Rican independence and civil rights. “We were reading their books and tearing up the literature of Latin America,” he says. He continued his education as a means to inform others on issues that need to improve, such as human rights and bilingual education. Now in his 70s, Báez is the director of the Milwaukee Board of School Directors, District 6. He continues to challenge the norms of school curriculums and push for teaching practices fair for all students.

In the early 1970s, Báez moved to Milwaukee and got a job at Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS). He helped develop the curriculum for bilingual education, a topic he would focus on for the next 40 years. Before Báez and other leaders of the bilingual movement began changing school curriculums, lessons were taught in English and translated into Spanish with no consideration for culture. Students who were not native English speakers were forced to assimilate, bettering their English but leaving behind their own cultural identity. Those students were not receiving an equal education, Báez explains, because they were forced to take standardized tests and learn standardized lessons that were not adapted to their culture.

With a committee of people adamant about incorporating bilingual education into schools, Báez and the group negotiated with MPS to implement new bilingual practices.

The program was one of the first in the country and became a model for other states.

These issues are personal to Báez because he understands the challenges of trying to become part of a new culture. Originally from a poor neighborhood in Puerto Rico, he moved to Chicago in his early 20s. Worried for his safety because of his involvement in protesting the Vietnam War, his parents sent him to America. Almost immediately, he got involved with the Young Lords, a national human rights organization that fought for neighborhood empowerment and the rights of Puerto Ricans and other Latinxs.

For Báez, assimilation was never the answer. His experiences in Puerto Rico and Chicago taught him the importance of building a new cultural identity alongside one’s home language and traditions. He has always stressed that suppressing one’s culture hinders an individual’s potential and hurts a community. The bilingual education movement does more than help individual students, it helps create leaders for the future.

There are still improvements to be made to our education system so segregation does not cripple the opportunities of specific groups of students. And Báez does not plan to slow down his work. “To do the right thing for everybody is going to require that we change how schools function,” he says. “I think that’s what my role on the board is going to be. To keep pushing for that.”

!::BY PHILIP CHARD

o, how are you getting along with the person you spend the most time with?

That’s you, by the way. Regardless of who else populates your existence, there is one you interact with virtually every waking moment, and the nature of that relationship—the one with yourself—is critical to your overall well-being.

At face value, this suggests we are all multiple personalities. After all, if there is a relationship between you and you, that implies there’s more than one self residing in your psyche. Absent a case of multiple personality disorder, that is not literally true, but it is valid to a point.

Each of us harbors several facets of the self commonly referred to as “personas.” There is an entire psychotherapeutic approach based on dealing with this multiplicity, one called “parts work.” Regardless, few of us are of one mind, as evidenced by the backand-forth discussions we conduct through our incessant self-talk.

This phenomenon is apparent in expressions like “inner critic” and “inner child,” among others. These aspects of self each assume a distinct attitudinal posture and role in your internal dialogue. Of particular interest is the persona referred to as the “observer,” the one who remains a bit outside the fray between the other facets of self, as if watching from a mental distance. It is your observer self that remains best positioned to recognize how well you get along with yourself.

There are insight-oriented practices that help us better connect with and mentally occupy the observer self. These include cognitive behavioral therapy, awarenessfocused meditation, journaling and the like. Once seated in this psychological observation post, we acquire a clearer sense for how our various personas are treating one another. Some will emerge as clear friends of the overarching self, while others may seem

its adversaries. In pursuing this kind of insight, many feel surprised or even shocked at how the not-so-friendly personas speak to the larger self, as proved true for Winston.

“I’ve got a nasty voice in there,” he told me. “It takes every opportunity to criticize me, and it can get pretty ugly.”

Inner critics are a common type of persona. Particularly among folks who grew up in judgmental environments, or those with a perfectionistic bent, this facet of self may prove the loudest and most verbose of one’s various parts. Another frequent flyer in this regard is the “inner cynic,” sort of an internalized Eeyore of “Winnie the Pooh” fame.

This persona enjoys popping any bubbles of hope and optimism that percolate into awareness. Another ubiquitous voice is the “inner overlord,” an aspect of self that relishes giving orders and whose favorite words are “should” and “shouldn’t.”

These personas, and others like them, are not your friends. Granted, sometimes we deserve self-criticism, particularly when behaving in ways contrary to our stated values, but, absent malicious intent, mistakes are learning experiences (“fall forward”) rather than grounds for 20 lashes.

As Winston demonstrated, the first step in addressing this conundrum involves recognizing when the inner adversary is squawking. Often, these self-defeating personas drone on in the background of one’s awareness, so once on your mental radar, the opportunity to intervene emerges.

“Instead of trying to shut up your inner critic, I’d suggest investing in an alternative voice that is your friend,” I told Winston. “It’s like a buddy who has your back when dealing with a bully.”

By intentionally cultivating an “inner friend” persona, we alter the relationship with ourselves. Much like interjecting a supportive, reasonable and positive person into a dysfunctional work team, the dynamics shift. Now, when Winston’s inner critic begins carping, he simply asks himself, “What would my best friend say to me about this?” He then summons his inner friend to play that part.

Gradually, as this friendly and supportive persona grows stronger, the adversarial or disrespectful ones quiet down.

There are people out there who care about you. Be one of them.

Milwaukee Critical Mass—June Ride @ Gordon Park, 7 p.m.

Between 1958 and 1970, a distinctive movement for racial justice emerged from unique circumstances in Milwaukee. A series of local leaders inspired growing numbers of people to participate in campaigns against employment and housing discrimination, segregated public schools, the membership of public officials in discriminatory organizations, welfare cuts and police brutality.

A white Catholic priest, James Groppi, led the NAACP Youth Council and Commandos in a militant struggle that lasted for 200 consecutive nights and provoked the ire of thousands of white residents. After working-class mobs attacked demonstrators, some called Milwaukee “the Selma of the North.”

Joint Cannabis Brands Brings CBD to Food and Beverages ::BY SHEILA JULSON

W

hen John Ross Ferrell (aka Johnny Stallion) added CBDinfused cold brew and bottled espresso shots to his line of PhiloÇoffia (pronounced “fillle-sof-ee-ah”) coffees last fall, the product was a hit, and Ferrell realized there was a market for CBD-infused products that could complement food and beverages. He’s since added WildFire Cannabis Extract and Bitters, CannaMyst CBD oil that can be sprayed on food and Mother’s Little Helper CBD-infused chocolate chips.

To give his CBD (cannabidiol) food products their own identity, Ferrell sells them under Joint Cannabis Brands, an overarching parent company of PhiloÇoffia that he hopes will become the preeminent source for food service creativity with cannabis. Ferrell was inspired to create WildFire because he had difficulty finding quality cannabis bitters. “WildFire is extracted from hemp with terpenes added to it, which are the flavonoids isolated from different strains. That helps add citrusy and energetic notes, so the flavor profile can be tailored,” he explains. Crushed cannabis is added for flavor and to enhance visual appeal to drinks.

In addition to cocktails, Ferrell says WildFire complements the citrus notes of IPAs, or it can be added to dry white wine, like a sauvignon blanc, to add additional flavor. The flavor can be lighter or stronger, depending on how much is added. “We make it strong, 135-proof hemp extract. Because it’s just an extract, there’s no activated CBD or THC

12 | J U N E 2 7 , 2 0 1 9

in it, so it doesn’t run afoul of any laws; CBD can be in the gray area in some municipalities. WildFire is just basically hemp for flavor and aroma.”

CannaMyst is a mix of CBD oil and cannabis buds, with 260 mgs. of CBD per one-ounce bottle. “In addition to offering something more visual in a cocktail, I thought about putting CBD on food. A dropper is not a very effective way to spread CBD onto food, so I found some high-quality oil sprayers and chose one to etch our logo onto. You can put the cannabis infused CannaMyst into the mister and spray it evenly onto a salad or any other foods.”

Mother’s Little Helper (which is also a nod to the Rolling Stones’ 1966 hit of the same name) are CBD-infused, fair-trade, dark chocolate chips that people can use to make whatever they like—or eat them by the handful. Ferrell says there’s about 1/2 mg. of CBD per chip, which helps with dosing.

Although there are other edibles like CBD chocolate bars or pre-made chocolate chip cookies, the chips allow people to have fun and be creative with their own recipes. Mother’s Little Helper chips are set to hit the shelves at Outpost Natural Foods at the end of June and will retail at $9.99 for a four-ounce package.

Ferrell’s business is rooted in coffee, so he continues to add coffee products like Java Nirvana, an instant CBD coffee with chocolate, cinnamon and coconut oil that comes packaged in a biodegradable bag. He says it’s ideal for campers who still want good-tasting coffee. Ferrell h as deals in the works with local restaurants such as BelAir Cantina to craft a margarita with WildFire. He believes the market for CBD will remain strong even after marijuana eventually becomes legal for either medicinal or recreational use in Wisconsin.

“I think CBD will be a larger market because you can use it during the day, and it doesn’t impede your ability do daily activities,” he says. “It allows for reduction in anxiety and better sleep at night.

There are far more opportunities to use it.”

This month in dining news: A Door County brewery opens a taproom on the East Side, Downtown gets a new pizza option, burgers at the beach and two new bars sell snacks.

Hacienda Beer Co.

A taproom and restaurant has opened in the former G. Daddy’s BBC on North Avenue. Hacienda Beer Co. is a Door County-based brewery founded in 2017 that focuses on modern, experimental beers. This is their first dedicated taproom, and they will have up to a dozen beers on tap. The food menu includes appetizers, salads and sandwiches. Candied bacon ($6), saffron pickled vegetables ($6) and duck confit empanadas ($11) make good snacks. A peach spinach salad ($13), a black garlic BBQ fried chicken sandwich ($12) and a seared salmon sandwich ($17) with roasted red peppers are more substantial options.

MooSa’s

A new hamburger stand has moved into the Northpoint Custard spot near Bradford Beach. MooSa’s is owned by the same family as Casablanca, its name a play on the family’s last name, Musa. The menu is similar to that of Northpoint’s: burgers, soft serve custard and sides. The signature MooSa Burger ($6.95) comes with onions, lettuce, tomato, pickles, condiments, two cheeses and a special sauce. A vegetarian Impossible Burger ($8.95), brats ($4.95), corn dogs ($4.95) and chicken wings ($7.95) are also available. Hummus and pita chips ($3.95), cheese curds ($5.95) and walking tacos ($5.95) are some snacks offered.

Some snacks are offered, including cheese and charcuterie plates ($14-$19), spiced nuts ($6), marinated olives ($6) and soup served with bread ($8). Guests waiting for a table at Centro can use Bar Centro as a much-needed waiting area.

Charles E. Fromage

A small wine bar has opened in Washington Heights. Charles E. Fromage is owned by Tony and Honore Schiro, a couple who felt the need for place to stop for a nightcap in this neighborhood. The name is a French play on Chuck E. Cheese’s with the tagline “where an adult can be an adult.” The tiny space has four local tap beers and eight wines to choose from that will change seasonally.

Snacks available include a five-cheese spread ($7) with baguette slices, an olive salad ($5), rosemary Marcona almonds ($5) and individual chocolates from Ultimate Confections ($1.50-$2).

!"#$%&'!"'()*" ::BY JAMIE LEE RAKE

Like so many of the home furnishings made by Ikea (7500 S. Ikea Way, Oak Creek), there is a bit of assembly involved in putting together a meal in the Swedish company’s stores. The food is served cafeteria style with servers doling out the Scandinavian and domestic fare on white china.

Wraps, bagels and desserts may be taken from window displays on the way through the cafeteria line. The Swedish meatballs are delicious morsels offered in beef, vegan and seafood varieties. A pleasant milkiness pervades not only the curry sauce served with vegan option, but the gravy available with the meaty ones. Other sides worth trying include a broccolipeapods-string beans medley and a mix of grains and the lingonberry sauce that resembles a cranberry garnish. Lingonberries also appear as one of the preserves available to top the pancakes in Ikea’s signature Swedish American breakfast; those crepe-like flapjacks share a plate with hearty scoops of scrambled eggs, brown cubed potatoes and a pair of mildly-spiced chicken sausage links. Sadly, that morning repast is only served for 90 minutes daily.

Shoppers pressed for time or not wanting to take the somewhat lengthy walk to the restaurant in the back of the store may still find unique eating at the bistro in front; the specialty there is a meatless hot dog topped with the brand’s proprietary sweet and spicy mustard, pickled red cabbage and roasted onion. Pair it with a sundae of vanilla yogurt and berries for a substantial snack or light meal in itself.

Outskirts Theatre Company

The oldest company, at five years, has the youngest founder. While still a sophomore at Waukesha’s Carroll University, Ryan Albrechtson took a theater management class. “I really thought I was going to be a high school drama teacher, but I got into writing my own stuff and doing edgier pieces than I ever thought I’d be able to do,” he says. He switched to arts management and, with his professor’s help, founded his own theater. He staged performances in Waukesha for two years, beginning with the LGBTQ-supportive Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead. After graduation, he was joined by Allyson Imig who “does the day to day administration and keeps me organized.”

Albrechtson named the company both for its Waukesha location in relation to the big city of Milwaukee and for its mission to “create thought-provoking experimental theater that also serves as a call to action against social and moral injustices.” The company also aims to serve as a springboard to professional work for emerging theater artists and “to bridge the gap between Waukesha and Milwaukee Counties,” he says. “I feel like so few people go back and forth. We hope to make the Waukesha art scene a little more interesting to people from Downtown and other areas.”

The new six-show season includes performances in both towns. It opens July 5-7 with The Amish Project at Waukesha Civic Theatre. This play, about a school shooting in an Amish community, is performed by a single actress (Abbi Hess) who plays victims, the gunman and community members. Outskirts will also restage its production of the feminist musical comedy Disenchanted! for the Milwaukee Fringe Festival.

The Constructivists

!"#$%&'&()(*&+$ ,*$%)'--$%&'#(+ TALKING WITH THREE YOUNG MILWAUKEE THEATER COMPANIES ::BY JOHN SCHNEIDER

There are surely more young theater companies in Milwaukee today than the dozen or so I am aware of. Here are three that have impressed Shepherd Express writers with their professionalism and careful artistry. Each offers something different to the city. Proudly on the fringe, each is steadily gaining support.

SHEPHERD EXPRESS

Founders Alec Lachman, Andy Montano and Jake Russell Thompson, all in their 20s, met at a Shakespeare and Company summer training program in Massachusetts.

Lachman and Montano are from the area; Thompson relocated from Washington, D.C. The company has done mostly Shakespeare but also the ancient Greek classics Oedipus Rex and Medea, the world premiere of Theatre Games by area playwright Pharyne Stephney and the offbeat Tony-nominated Hand to God. Season Four opens in December with William Shakespeare’s Henry V then takes new turns with The Elephant Man in March and Spirits to Enforce by Chicagoan Mickle Maher next spring.

The group is a collective composed of actors, directors and designers, all under 30. Outreach director, actor and board member Claire Tidwell uses a line from Shakespeare to summarize the company’s mission: “Never say I was false of heart.” She emphasizes the collaborative rehearsal process as a defining feature.

“There’s a lot of group exploration and opportunity for experimentation. It’s not just a director standing there saying do this, turn here. As an actor, I’ve never been challenged to think as much.”

Auditions are open to the community. Casting can be outside type; for example, Richard III was a woman. Anyone in town can pitch a script idea. “People started to panic when In Tandem decided to close, and The Alchemist shut their doors,” Tidwell says. “Well, there are other theaters here, and we’re not going to give up on you.” The company will perform scenes and demonstrate fight choreography at the Milwaukee Fringe.

The Constructivists

After 25 years in theater, 10 of them in Chicago with companies producing American premieres of European plays, Russian to English translations and vice versa, founder Jaimelyn Gray knew what she wanted. First, she wanted to live near her family in Milwaukee; second, to present plays that “punch you in the gut, make your blood pump,” as she says. She points to popular television programs like “Games of Thrones” and “The Walking Dead.”“There’s a need for that type of catharsis, that type of connectedness. It’s part of what the brain wants: to feel pain without feeling pain. And in theater, it’s having human experiences together with live humans onstage and live emotions in real time.”

With her husband’s support, she founded The Constuctivists last year. Her first season’s choices were outstanding: Gruesome Playground Injuries, The Pillowman and a new work called To Fall in Love. Playwright Sam Shepard’s angry post-9/11 comedy The God of Hell will open season two in September. “If more people liked theater, the world would be a better place,” she says. “I’m trying to do my part. I am really not happy with the state of the world. I can only do what I can do, hire actors, hire technicians and provide art to facilitate conversation, push buttons, shake gates. We all got a little too quiet, I think.”

The Comedy of Errors

“Summer Love”

One of William Shakespeare’s early plays, The Comedy of Errors is also his shortest. It relies on puns, mistaken identity and fundamentally farcical situations for its humor. All its action takes place during the course of a 24-hour period. Order is utterly overthrown when two pairs of twins, separated as infants, find their paths crossing to not merely their own confusion but also to the confusion of everyone else they encounter. A series of mishaps ensue, including arrest, beating, a near-seduction and accusations of theft, madness and infidelity, until the truth at last untangles the misunderstandings. Given the set-up, so ripe for comedy, it should be no surprise that The Comedy of Errors has proven to be a long-standing audience favorite of The Bard’s, and it has found itself adapted into the operatic, musical and feature film genres.

Optimist Theatre’s production will be co-directed by Ron Scot Fry and ML Cogar and feature (among its quite large cast) James Pickering, Robert Spencer, Connor Blankenship and Tami Workentin. This is an outdoor, free event; attendees are encouraged to picnic and enjoy the grounds (there are plenty of picnic tables and grassy areas) or enjoy concessions provided by Sazama’s Fine Catering. (John Jahn) June 27-July 13 (excluding Thursday, July 4) at the Peck Pavilion of the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts, 929 N. Water St. For more information, visit optimisttheatre.org.

The Dig

Third Avenue Playhouse (TAP) is Door County’s newest professional theater company (founded in 2000); its lovely 84-seat Studio Theatre is but seven years old. TAP is also the county’s only year-round theater, offering, as they say, “intimate plays in an intimate setting.” Their two-play summer season opens with Marie Kohler’s The Dig, directed by Alex Coddington.

In this compelling drama, a young girl becomes separated from her older brother when he sets off on an archeological dig in Lebanon. While there, however, he suffers from a damaging psychological breakdown that changes him forever.

The Dig’s action takes place in the 1950s, ’60s and ’90s, dramatizing the young woman’s belated sense of loss and acceptance of who her brother has become. One of the most prominent writers of local theater (and the play’s creator), Marie Kohler, will be in residence for this production. (John Jahn) June 27-July 20 at Third Avenue Playhouse, 239 N. Third Ave., Sturgeon Bay. For tickets, call 920-743-1760 or visit thirdavenueplayhouse.com.

The Florentine Opera Company recently announced its 2019 Summer Residency Program Artists; these are sopranos Olivia Doig and Grace Wipfli, tenor Nathaniel Catasca and baritone Ian Murrell. In its third year, the company’s artists have been selected through a competitive audition process. Throughout June and July, these vocalists will perform a variety of music throughout the Milwaukee area and beyond; many of these community performances are free to the public. They’ll also perform two @ The Center Series concerts, the first of which is titled “Summer Love.”

The Florentine’s @ The Center Series concerts generally comprise opera’s greatest hits as well as gems from musical theatre and Tin Pan Alley, all selected with an overarching theme. It’s obvious from this first concert that love will be in the air in the company’s Riverwest headquarters which, as the sun sets, transforms into an intimate, black box theater perfect for such lighter fare. (John Jahn) June 28-29 at 7:30 p.m. at the Wayne and Kristine Lueders Florentine Opera Center, 926 E. Burleigh St. For tickets, call 800-326-7372 or visit florentineopera.org.

SPECIALEVENT

“A Fringe Festival?”

Thoroughly in line with a tradition of similarly diverse multidisciplinary arts festivals held in cities around the world, Milwaukee Fringe Festival offers a diverse assembly of artists. The festival’s goals? As its website explains, the aim is “to invigorate Milwaukee’s culture, engage the youth of Milwaukee and inspire them to participate in the arts, attract artists from outside of Milwaukee to our city and create a sense of community for artists of all ages, ethnicities and disciplines.” People need to know such a festival is taking place in their community, and a party is a great way to do just that.

The fourth annual MKE Fringe Fest, taking place in August at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts, will be presented under the direction of John Schneider, Eric Engelbart, Matt Kemple, Karen Raymond and Katie Rhyme. Things kick into high gear with a “three-hour afternoon party” aimed at “helping people understand what a fringe festival is [and] why it’s valuable for Milwaukee to have one,” says Schneider. “The setting is a big, open, stand-alone, glass-walled building just a few yards from the river walk on Commerce Street just off Pleasant Street. There will be performances, informational talks, food, a cash bar and an interesting crowd of artists,” he says. (John Jahn) If you plan to attend the MKE Fringe Fest Fundraiser—Sunday, June 30, 2-5 p.m., 1720 N. Commerce St.—send an e-mail to info@mkefringe.com.

A&E::FILM

[ FILM CLIPS ] Annabelle Comes Home R Ed and Lorraine Warren are paranormal investigators whose cases are dramatized by the “Conjuring Universe” film franchise. In this third installment, the Warrens (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) secure the demonic Annabelle doll behind sacred glass in a locked room. Despite their warnings, the Warrens’ 10-year-old daughter, Judy (Mckenna Grace), and her babysitters (Madison Iseman and Katie Sarife) release Annabelle. Directed and written by Gary Dauberman, who penned the other “Annabelles,” the story tracks Judy and her babysitters’ efforts to evade the demonic entities attracted. Box office memo: 2017’s Annabelle: Creation brought in over $300 million on a $15 million budget. (Lisa Miller)

The Last Black Man in San Francisco R A young black girl stares up at a sanitation worker picking up trash in a HazMat suit. The street preacher mounts his podium and rails against the toxic environment, warning, “They got plans for us!” So another morning begins for Jimmie and his best friend Mont, magnetically drawn from their outlying ghetto to a Victorian house near the Golden Gate. They tend to the place like they own it—it was once owned by Jimmie’s grandfather and the loss is painful. Director Joe Talbot tells an elliptical story packed with references to San Francisco’s glorious past of segregation, gentrification, limited economic opportunities, fractured families and miscommunication between white and black. Wistful, funny and visually surreal, The Last Black Man wonders about the stories we tell ourselves in order to survive. (David Luhrssen) ‘Toy Story 4’

Woody (or Is It Bo?) to the Rescue in ‘Toy Story 4’

T

After being knocked unconscious, struggling British singer-songwriter Jack Malik (Himesh Patel) awakens in an alternate timeline where The Beatles never existed. Realizing he can exploit their songs to achieve fame and fortune, Jack becomes hugely successful co-opting Beatles’ songs. However, having confessed the truth to his best friend Ellie (Lily James), she begins pulling away, causing Jack to realize he has always loved her. Though director Danny Boyle’s film attempts to position itself as a romantic comedy, will the story maintain momentum as Jack methodically cranks out Beatles’ hits? (L.M.)

[ HOME MOVIES / NOW STREAMING ] n Woody Guthrie: All-Star Tribute Concert 1970

The performers at this concert were multi-generational and multi-ethnic, numbering Pete Seeger and Odetta in their ranks. Most of the lineup’s musicians, however, came from the circa 1960 generation of folk revivalists that surfaced in New York, including Joan Baez and Arlo Guthrie. They gathered to sing the songs of Arlo’s dad, which eloquently set oral history and advocacy journalism to music. Peter Fonda and Will Greer read passages from Guthrie’s memoir between songs.

n Shoah: Four Sisters

French director Claude Lanzmann’s Shoah (1985) was a landmark in documentary filmmaking for its austere accumulation of memories of the Holocaust. With Shoah: Four Sisters (2018), his last completed film, Lanzmann assembled interviews conducted in the ’70s with Jewish women from Eastern Europe. What surfaces from their accounts was the complexity of their ordeal and how Nazi control of information was a weapon. Knowledge of the death camps dawned slowly, even for those at their gates.

n “RKO Classic Romances”

In 1934, the studios imposed a regime of strict self-censorship called the Hollywood Production Code. But in the early years of talking pictures, topics that couldn’t be broached for decades were common. “RKO Classic Romances” collects five risqué “pre-Code” movies. In The Lady Refuses, a penniless woman choses prostitution over suicide (but finds help from a wealthy gentleman).

Millie frankly addresses the cooling of sexual ardor in married couples. Gigolos, gold-diggers and wild oats abound.

n “RKO Classic Adventures”

Years before the emergence of John Wayne and the westerns recognized as classics, the genre proliferated in Hollywood and made the transition to sound.

“RKO Classic Adventures” collects three early talking westerns, starting with The Painted Desert (1931). The stock elements are already well established, including cattle drives, range wars and characters who “reckon” and “aim to keep ridin’.” Clark Gable has a supporting role, stubble-faced without the mustache yet familiar from his self-assured voice.

The Astounding Story of One Book’s Five-Hundred Year Odyssey (TARCHERPERIGEE),

::BY JENNI HERRICK

BY MARGARET LESLIE DAVIS Everyone knows the Gutenberg Bible as the world’s most valuable book. Who knew that there were 51 of them? And that you can’t call them copies exactly, because no two are identical? With The Lost Gutenberg, Margaret Leslie Davis summarizes the work of Johannes Gutenberg, the German who printed the first books with moveable type, a laborious process that led by steps to the information age. His Bibles were individually illustrated according to his clients’ tastes. They were always valuable, albeit until the 20th century, among bibliophiles they ranked less high than many lesser-known works.

Davis follows the path of a particular Gutenberg Bible through various owners. All were fabulously wealthy and usually eccentric. The book’s last private owner, an American heiress, mingled devotion with an awareness that having the Gutenberg was a status symbol few could afford. The Lost Gutenberg is fascinating, well-grounded and marred only by the author’s jarring insertion of present tense (makes us feel like we’re there?) into long-ago events. (David Luhrssen)

School’s out until August, but, unfortunately, there is a rising trend of young people who read zero books during the summer months.

To combat this decline, Scholastic and booksellers across the country are engaging in a Read-a-Palooza. The goal is twofold: keep kids reading and get more books into the hands of kids who can’t afford them. From 3-5 p.m. on Friday, June 28, Boswell Book Company will host a local Read-a-Palooza event featuring activities, giveaways, and a summer reading donation drive to benefit Milwaukee’s Next Door Foundation. Books & Co. will host a similar family-friendly event on Saturday, June 29, from 9:30 a.m until noon.

The Los Angeles Dodgers honored the band, which started in the City of Angels, inviting them onto the field before the game, wearing jerseys with their names on the back. Vocalist Exene Cervenka, who practiced for weeks, threw out the first pitch and John Doe sang the national anthem while guitarist Billy Zoom and drummer D.J. Bonebrake soaked up the experience.

“It was cool, it was a fantastic night,” Bonebrake says.

“That’s one of the weirdest things ever. People always ask, ‘Did you expect to be playing after 40 years?’ Well, maybe. But that was totally out of left field.”

SHEPHERD EXPRESS

Then, in October of 2017, “X: 40 Years of Punk Rock in Los Angeles” began a six-month run at the Grammy Museum in L.A. “That’s an honor too,” Bonebrake says. “We donated whatever we had around the house. I had an old drum kit that was gathering dust, lots of posters. I think we gave them too much.”

Honor aside, Bonebrake has some qualms about being enshrined in a museum and seen as a piece of history. “You aren’t going to retire me that quickly,” he insists. “Once you’re in a museum, you’re not alive. I went to a museum in Washington, D.C., once, one of the Smithsonian museums and looked at all these stuffed birds. I went outside and saw a real bird and I was taken aback. I don’t want to be a stuffed bird. I want to be alive.”

So how do you stay alive?

“To not be a museum piece, what you have to do is play well,” Bonebrake continues. “That’s when you transcend the superficial ‘stardom,’ the reality TV stardom, the media recognition. We still do that. That’s why people come to shows.”

That’s what X will be doing as it tours this year, celebrating its 40th anniversary and hinting at new music in the notX too-distant future. “The show has an arc,” Summerfest’s Bonebrake said. “We start out rocking U.S. Cellular a bit, bring it down and, at the end, we Connection Stage give you ‘Los Angeles,’‘Nausea’ and all the loud, rocking stuff.”

Thursday, “Los Angeles” is the title cut of X’s 1980 June 27, 4 p.m. debut album. The disc features songs driven by Zoom’s high-octane rockabilly guitar and Bonebrake’s powerhouse rock ’n’ roll drumming with Cervenka and Doe blending their voices in edgy harmonies, singing their poetic lyrics of underground life in the City of Angels.

That was a far different approach than the likes of the Germs, Fear, The Circle Jerks and Black Flag as seen in The Decline of Western Civilization, director Penelope Spheeris’ documentary about the L.A. punk rock scene. “We were kind of oddballs on that scene. Billy had so much experience. He’s older than the rest of us,” Bonebrake says of his bandmate, now 71. “He started playing guitar when he was four or so. Rock ’n’ roll wasn’t even around. He was playing cowboy music, trying to imitate Roy Rogers or something.

“I started in 1967, so I had 10 years of experience playing all sorts of rock ’n’ roll,” he continues. “And I had the orchestral stuff and I played in the jazz band. So we could play. Some on the scene could and some couldn’t and some tried to hide it. We were different than some of the other bands. That’s why I joined X. They were bringing a variety of songs and influence as opposed to the straight-up punk beats.”

X’s second album, Wild Gift, was considered by many as the best album of 1981. Then came Under the Big Black Sun, which showcased the band’s country leanings. Two more albums followed before the group had a lineup change with guitarists Dave Alvin and Tony Gilkyson replacing Zoom in 1986 before X split up for a few years.

Regrouping in the early ’90s, X put out Hey Zeus! (1993), went on hiatus in 1997 and started playing shows again in 2004, releasing a very good live album in 2005. Now comes word that X recently went into the studio with producer Rob Schnapf and cut five new songs in two days. Plans for the release of those and any other new songs are pending.

Regardless of whether there’s new music, X will be out there, staying alive and enjoying the long-deserved recognition as one of the great American bands of the punk era. “It’s funny, how you end up being the iconic band where in the beginning you were the oddballs,” Bonebrake says.

X performs at Summerfest’s U.S. Cellular Connection Stage on Thursday, June 27, at 4 p.m.

Jason Gillette & the Showtime Big Band @ Starry Nights Series, Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts, 6:30 p.m.

Girls Rock MKE is a summer day camp for girls aged 8-16 in which campers of all skill levels learn an instrument, form a band, write a song and perform their tune at an end-of-camp showcase for friends, family and fans. Come and hear the 10 bands of rockers from the 2019 Girls Rock MKE camp as they perform their original songs they wrote in just one week.

Robert Pollard’s photo might just as well be in the dictionary under the entry for “prolific.” After 28 albums, countless compilations, EPs, singles and collaborations, Pollard continues to lead Guided by Voices on an endless journey of indie rock. Early on, they were characterized by revolving door lineups and lo-fi fourtrack recordings of short, catchy tunes that convey an exuberance and delight in rock music history.

MONDAY, JULY 1 Kiefer Sutherland w/ Raye Zaragoza @ Shank Hall, 8 p.m.

Best known as an actor, Kiefer Sutherland has released two albums, including his latest, and sometimes speaks of music as his true love. This summer, he’s taking his country troubadour show on the road to intimate venues and arrives in town on Summerfest’s night off. It is a good plan to have something to fall back on in case the Hollywood gig doesn’t pan out.

The swinging sounds of the big band return to Starry Nights, featuring Brookfield Central High School music department chair and acclaimed woodwind artist Jason Gillette, members of the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music’s We Six, renowned saxophonist Sal Lozano and Broadway star and BCHS alumna Chelsea Krombach.

With the success of the film Easy Rider, Dennis Hopper had the world on a string. Hopper’s next project, The Last Movie, took him to Peru. This sprawling project, while an award winner at the Venice Film Festival, would not see a commercial release in Hopper’s lifetime.

The American Dreamer is a documentary about the making of that film, which was directed by Lawrence Schiller and L.M. Kit Carson. Initially released in 1971 on the Mediarts label, the soundtrack LP was scarce as hen’s teeth. In 2018, reissue specialists Light in the Attic released the album for the dreaded Record Store Day. While that pressing went out of print, they saw fit to also reissue the soundtrack on CD. Highlights of the 10-song collection of outsider folk music are a pair of cuts by Byrd Gene Clark, whose tortured genius is right in line with Hopper’s. The suggestion is that this era is the crossroads where the promise and optimism of the ’60s crashed into the cynicism that would derail a generation’s hopes. John Buck Wilkin’s “The Screaming Metaphysical Blues” offers a glimpse into the sunset of the hippie dream.

The American Dreamer Soundtrack

Kiefer Sutherland

On The Mod Violets’ self-titled debut album, rock music has the power to lift you out of yourself, soaring on melodic electric guitar riffs and melancholic harmonies as powerful rhythms move the experience from track to track. Most of the original songs by the Milwaukee band are ’60s-style psychedelic, sometimes at that Byrdsy-cusp where folk-rock went lysergic (“Playground”). Lurking occasionally beneath the shimmering jangle and chime is a nod to ’80s alternative where some band members have their roots (“Mirror”). One number even sounds like a great song Buddy Holly never got around to writing (“Because She Could”). Most of the 13 songs have a way of seeping into memory and imagination and many—as the band’s name suggests—are irresistibly pulled toward that moment in pop history where 1966 was on the verge of 1967.

t’s weird to be 65 and still doing this,” says Steve Cohen. The harmonica player and vocalist for Leroy Airmaster, the Milwaukee blues band marking 40 years of gigging in 2019, adds, “I’m being more selective of the jobs I take.”

Of course, four decades ago, the city’s blues scene was a more densely populated landscape than nowadays. “Back in the day, we’d play a different neighborhood every night of the week. This was our culture then—people would go to bars and hear bands.”

Leroy Airmaster continues to play regularly and has several festival gigs in the days ahead, plus one night that they created themselves, an event called “Jammin’ with Junior.” It’s part of the annual reunion between the band and Milwaukee expatriate keyboardist Junior Brantley. Despite his moniker, Junior is a veteran of six decades who began playing R&B in Milwaukee clubs in the early 1960s before joining Short Stuff, the city’s legendary blues band. He left town in the ’80s to play with Stevie Ray Vaughan, the Fabulous Thunderbirds and Roomful of Blues before settling in Las Vegas.

“I’ve come back to Milwaukee to play with these guys every Leroy summer for 15 years,” Brantley says of Leroy Airmaster. “I come Airmaster to visit people and play with the musicians.”

Kochanski’s Work in Las Vegas for musicians isn’t what it once was, but Concertina he’s still steadily employed in live shows along with teaching Beer Hall piano. For “Jammin’ with Junior,” Brantley says, “It’s all blues.

Monday, July 1, I’m a blues musician. That’s what I consider myself.”

“He was one of our heroes when we were growing up,” 6-10 p.m.

Cohen says. Leroy Airmaster bassist Dave Kasik agrees and organized “Jammin’” as a tribute. Brantley will perform for one set with Leroy Airmaster and another with members of Short Stuff. “I want it to be a relaxed night,” Kasik says. “It’ll be a chance for people to relax and talk as well as play.”

Cohen recently released a career retrospective CD, Looking Back, featuring a handful of tracks by Leroy Airmaster along with recordings of Cohen’s duets with Jim Liban and Peter Roller as well as his collaboration with Greg Koch.

Jammin’ with Junior takes place at Kochanski’s Concertina Beer Hall, 1920 S. 37th St., on Monday, July 1, from 6-10 p.m.

P

entatonix (PTX) is the five-person a cappella group from Arlington, Texas, that chose its name for a musical scale representing five notes per octave. But in their performance on Tuesday, June 18, at Fiserv Forum, the quintet proved that its range is endless, its vocals limitless, and the creativity of its arrangements stunning. For being together only eight years, PTX is at the height of its creative and musical powers; this showed itself again and again throughout the evening that simply delighted and amazed at every turn.

The band was in awe of the sold-out crowd—it being one of the largest PTX is playing to on its current tour—and the audience was just as adoring. It was a great big love fest for music that relied completely on “vocal instruments”—mezzo soprano Kirstin Maldonado, tenor Mitch Grassi, baritone Scott Hoying, bass Matt Sallee and human-voiced beat box Kevin Olusola, who pulled out his cello at one point and created a “cello-boxing” effect, using his vocals to play bassline beats against his expert string playing while looping the sounds. Incredible!

Having recorded six albums, PTX has multiple arrangements of familiar tunes, and that’s the draw: What will a cover of another artist’s song sound like? PTX zoomed from one end of the sonic galaxy to the other, opening with a playful take on Daft Punk’s “One More Time/Get Lucky” to pulling full throttle on a complex rearrangement of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene,” with lead vocals handled by supporting act Rachel Platten.

But it was a 1964 classic, Simon and Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence,” that demanded full attention. PTX recreated that haunting, metronomic guitar sound amid cascading, gorgeous harmonies. And what could be more fun than a straight-on rendition of the 1975 Queen anthem “Bohemian Rhapsody”? The fivesome even visually copied Queen’s opening video moments, standing close together, draped in shadows with white lights shining down.

In paying homage to these songs, PTX also breathed-in new life, as witnessed by their cover of the final encore, “Hallelujah.” Now a necessary staple included by many singers for the best-known Leonard Cohen tune, PTX gave it a new, soulful meaning and sound with its unique arrangement, while lit-up cell phones created a virtual starry, starry night. PTX was definitely at the center of this “universe,” its sounds still resonating long after the show ended.

GETTING A HEAD IN LIFE

Pilgeram,

who

died in 2015 in California, paid Alcor Life Extension Foundation

$120,000

to

preserve his body indefinite-

ly at -320.8 Fahrenheit (-196 Celsius) in the hope of being brought back to life in the future. But a month after his death, his son, Kurt Pilgeram of Dutton, Mt., received a box containing his father’s ashes: the company had sent him all but his father’s head, which was still being stored in liquid nitrogen at Alcor’s facility in Arizona. “They chopped his head off, burned his body, put it in a box and sent it to my house,” Kurt told the Great Falls Tribune. He is suing Alcor for $1 million in damages and an apology—plus the return of his father’s frozen head. “I want people to know what’s going on,” he said. For its part, Alcor says its contract was with Laurence Pilgeram, and that it met that agreement. The company contends Kurt is trying to get the life insurance money that paid for Alcor’s services. The trial is expected to begin in 2020 in California.

Clooney Clone Con Job Francesco Galdelli, 58, and Vanya Goffi, 45—a.k.a. the Italian Bonnie and Clyde— were arrested on Saturday, June 15, at a luxury villa in Pattaya, Thailand, after years of avoiding Italian authorities for various scams and frauds. The Telegraph reported that Galdelli had confessed to posing as George Clooney and opening an online clothing business “to trick people into sending him money.” The two would also sell fake Rolex watches online, sometimes sending packets of salt to their customers instead of the expensive jewelry.

Unctuous Onc German Instagram “influencers” Catalin Onc and Elena Engelhardt have faced a digital dressing-down after they set up a GoFundMe page requesting donations for a bike trip to Africa. They want to raise about 10,000 euros for the jaunt, but some people aren’t on board.

Onc and Engelhardt live with Onc’s mother, who supports them by working at two jobs, the Independent reported. They posted on their Instagram page: “Some will just tell us to get jobs, like everyone else does, and stop begging. But when you have the impact we do on others’ life (sic), getting a job is not an option. A normal job at this point would be detrimental.” Commenters let loose on the couple: “Get a job and treat your mum; she shouldn’t be funding her grown son to wander the world like a lost boy.” And: “You’re not impacting anyone’s life; you are just a couple of freeloaders.”

Desperate Times Call for Useless Measures In the Colombian city of Buenaventura, violence and corruption are on the rise, and after a shocking Saturday, June 1, murder of a young girl, the local bishop devised a plan to “purge the city of evil.” Monsignor Ruben Dario Jaramillo Montoya intends to perform a mass exorcism, and to help him, he has asked the Colombian Navy to fly a helicopter over the city and spray “holy water” on those below. The ritual is scheduled for mid-July during annual patron saints festivities. “We want to drive out these demons that are destroying the port,” the bishop told Caracol Radio.

Think You Hate Your Job? Last year, Eli Aldinger, 23, told police officers in Bothell, Wash., he intentionally drove his Toyota Camry into two different groups of pedestrians in order to “get out of going to work.” Aldinger, who worked in food service at McMenamins Anderson School, first hit a woman who was crossing the street with her husband, admitting to police that he sped up to 35-40 mph so he could “hit her before she made it across the road,” reported the BothellKenmore Reporter. Later, he swerved to hit another pedestrian but declined to strike a third, thinking that would be “a bit too excessive.” On Friday, May 31, Aldinger was sentenced to 14 years in prison for assault. © 2019 ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION J U N E 2 7 , 2 0 1 9 | 37
