Activists take to the streets of Milwaukee

Milwaukee Activists Push for Immigration Reform !::BY EVAN CASEY

lthough the McAllen, Texas, Border Patrol Station is more than 1,500 miles from Milwaukee, poor conditions and treatment of migrant families and their children is hitting close to home.

“I saw children in the fenced in area, sleeping under the mylar blankets. Both times I saw a couple dozen men, packed into a small room with one toilet, begging us to get them toothbrushes,” said Democratic Congresswoman Gwen Moore. Representing Wisconsin’s 4th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, Moore had the chance to visit the station twice in recent months. ”There are other places to hold people than in these conditions.”

Twenty-four immigrants, including six children, have died in U.S. custody after arriving at border patrol stations in 2017. Many children are being held at these stations without their parents. Add to this a backlog of asylum cases, and current undocumented immigrants fearing deportation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), many would agree a change needs to occur soon.

These facts are pushing many here in Milwaukee to take action. Milwaukee activists have been working to educate the city and state about their views on ICE, and the poor conditions at these migrant camps. This has led to a recent uptick in protests and rallies, along with a focus on community organizing to help those who could be impacted in the community.

It was probably that dramatic mo3 ment in the first June debates when California Sen.

With such a large field, everyone else was desperate to find a similar way to emerge from )-$!*#/2'!+('!.+&(!'+5%!+1/($!&(!)-$!%"/)1&.-)! in just a few allotted minutes. Feeding into that was the tendency of media moderators to pro3 mote televised conflict like kids eager to hold the coats while others fight on the playground.

Don’t Take the Bait

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg rose above that in a positive way by pointedly re3 fusing to take the bait and attack other Demo3 crats. Warren was openly invited to distance herself from Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and instead simply continued explaining how her own progressive policies would level the eco3 nomic playing field for working Americans.

Buttigieg, the youngest candidate at 37 who looks even younger, was asked a leading question that basically came down to whether Biden and Sanders (at 76 and 77) were too old to be running. “I don’t care how old you are,” Buttigieg responded, “I care about your vision.” Then he pivoted, as skilled debaters should, to turn the question against his party’s #$+1! /""/($()%;! <$"6,1&*+(! $(+,1$#%! /0! =/(3 ald Trump’s “naked racism.”

Speaking directly to the camera, Buttigieg told congressional Republicans to “consider the fact that, when the sun sets on your career +('!)-$5!+#$!2#&)&(.!5/6#!%)/#5!/0!+11!)-$!.//'! and bad things you did in your life, the thing you will be remembered for is whether in this moment, with this president, you found the courage to stand up to him or continue to put party over country.”

Too many of the other debaters got so lost trying to aggressively outscore each other they

never got around to mentioning the horrific, historic moment of deadly racial violence we are living through as our president intention3 ally fans the flames with his vicious, dehuman3 izing rhetoric.

Best Health Care Plan?

One of the uglier, most confusing argu3 ments for viewers was the extended debate over which candidate has the best health care plan. Here’s the simple answer: !"" Democrat3 ic candidates do. Medicare-for-all proposed by Sanders, Warren and other progressives, and Biden’s more moderate expansion of former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act (ACA) to include a public option, all lead to the same place: the Democratic Party’s holy grail of universal national health coverage for all Americans.

Repub3 licans are the ones who have repeatedly voted to destroy affordable health care for 20 million Americans without any replacement. They’re *6##$()15!"6#%6&(.!+!0$'$#+1!1+2%6&)!)/!'$%)#/5! all ACA benefits, including coverage of preexisting conditions and government subsidies reducing costs.

Delaney and Bullock are unlikely to gain enough popular support in four legitimate polls, or financial support from enough donors, to qualify for September’s ABC-TV Demo3 cratic debate at Texas Southern University, a historic black university in Houston. So far, only eight candidates have qualified: Biden, Warren, Harris, Sanders, Buttigieg, New Jer3 sey Sen. Cory Booker, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar and former Texas Congressman Beto O’Rourke. The Democratic National Committee went out of its way to give every candidate some attention.

Clear Away the Clutter

But now, it’s time to clear away the clutter of so many candidates with less than a blip of support and give the most serious possibilities more opportunity to present their most com3 pelling national messages. The sooner the leading candidates stop splitting hairs over minor differences and make it clear they’re all heading in the same positive direction for our country, the better.

Along the way, Democratic candidates will have to keep answering tough questions about whether they’re moving too far to the left by proposing humane policies on immigration, health care as a right, removing assault rifles from our city streets and shifting more taxes from working Americans to the wealthy instead of the other way around. Somehow, Republicans never seem to get asked whether they’re mov3 ing too far to the right by becoming the party of racial hatred and human cruelty. #$%%&'()*()+,&-,&./&0-.&++12$%1!n SHEPHERD EXPRESS

hile training at a local boxing gym in Milwaukee in 2017, Jared Bell watched as a boy from Puerto Rico trained alongside him. The boy came from a difficult family situation but found boxing as an outlet. Bell witnessed that the physical exercise and discipline of the sport changed the boy into a strong young man full of passion and certainty. It was then that Bell realized the influence boxing and other martial arts could have on young lives.

Bell was inspired by this young man and wanted to help other youth lacking opportunities in Milwaukee. So, that year he started the foundation called City Champs, a nonprofit that provides scholarships to youth, allowing them to train at local martial arts gyms. “We want to come up with the simplest solution to solving a large societal challenge,” says Bell. His idea was not to create a brand-new gym, but instead to utilize the many gyms and seasoned trainers we already have in Milwaukee. Bell looked at studies showing that martial arts and boxing are successful means to help troubled kids. He wanted to use local resources to provide access to youth who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford gym membership.

Martial arts and boxing teach discipline and respect. In the ring, opponents bow to one another or shake hands before beginning a match. Trainers stress that fighting is only used in competition or for self-defense. Initiating violence is unacceptable, and most trainers of the sports will not let their students practice if they break those rules. When youth come to train in the gyms, they are not learning to fight, but are learning control, focus and confidence.

City Champs started by partnering with the Sixteenth Street Clinic to offer an eightweek program where kids can try different martial arts disciplines at participating community centers. The goal of the program is to help kids build self-assurance and provide different training options that best fit each student. The participants who graduate from the program are eligible to apply for a one-year gym scholarship, which gives them a free gym membership, including access to the equipment.

In the last two years, City Champs has given away five scholarships with the help of generous sponsors. Bell has seen this intensive year of training and mentorship change the lives of the participants. Kids who were aggressive in schools, he explains, turn into hard-working students who have the confidence to achieve their goals.

Bell and the other dedicated people who have worked to build City Champs have no intention of slowing down. City Champs will soon have a course that Milwaukee Public Schools students can take at Bradley Tech High School. They are keeping busy writing curricula and developing new programs that will strengthen the self-esteem of our city’s youth, working to build up the future members of our community. “I want to leave something greater behind,” says Bell. “I think everybody wants to belong to something bigger than themselves.”

eslie was one among many who seek emotional healing through psychotherapy.

All of us become wounded in this life, so the capacity to recover from these psychological injuries often deeply influences the course and quality of our lives. Research shows the vast majority of persons who seek psychotherapeutic assistance endured emotional trauma at some point in their lives, often on multiple occasions.

While talk therapy has a clear role to play in helping individuals heal their wounds, it doesn’t always produce the desired results, as was true for this middle-aged single mom and career professional. “I’ve talked this out dozens of times, gone over it and over it, but the wounds still feel raw,” Leslie explained.

The wounds in question were a series of personal losses and setbacks, ranging from her acrimonious divorce from an abusive spouse, including a child custody battle, to the sudden death of her lifelong best friend, followed by a traffic accident requiring an arduous recovery. The last survivor from a family of five, and suddenly without a close friend, she felt little social support. So, she turned to therapy; a particularly reasonable choice given her circumstances. That proved helpful, to a point.

“It’s hard to push these painful thoughts and memories out of my mind,” she told me.

“And simply talking about them doesn’t get me the relief it used to.”

One of the common indicators of unresolved emotional wounding is the inability to stop ruminating and obsessing over past trauma. One can feel trapped inside the mind, which degrades into a kind of echo chamber that is never quiet. For some, even sleeping fails to afford much relief, which proved true for Leslie. “Sleep comes hard, then I wake up and all the thoughts come flooding back. I even dream about what’s happened,” she explained.

Even in the context of talk therapy, the exchange of words and ideas alone rarely creates substantial emotional healing. Rather, it is the degree of empathy and brain synchrony between client and therapist that helps salve the wounded heart and spirit. Still, for folks like Leslie, even that may prove insufficient.

“When words, thoughts and talking it out fail to heal, another approach becomes necessary,” I suggested. “You may need to lose your mind and come to your senses.”

In salving emotional wounds, immersing one’s senses in healing experiences can prove particularly effective. Researchers have demonstrated the power of sounds, touch, visual imagery and smells in this regard. Think of how you feel after a relaxing massage, for example. The emotionally wounded crave healing touch, even when they aren’t consciously aware of this longing. Or, consider your mindset when listening to music that speaks to you, about you and what you’re going through.

This explains why nature interaction can exert powerful healing effects for so many of us. Simply looking at a beautiful vista or listening to the crickets, wind and birds provides comfort. The natural world can offer a rich panoply of sounds, sights, smells and tactile sensations that immerse us in a kind of “warm bath” of sensory comforts.

Which sensory ministrations should one employ? Many individual differences come into play in this regard. Leslie and I examined what worked best for her, and she committed to seeking out these experiences ongoing. Before long, she felt the healing impacts of her efforts, not to the point that all was just peachy. Wounds heal but are not forgotten. What does change is the depth of emotional pain they cause, as well as the extent to which they occupy and hijack one’s awareness. The mind quiets down, the heart rests and the spirit finds new hope.

Sensory-based healing methods go directly to the heart, bypass the thinking mind and quiet the pain of emotional wounds.

They don’t have to make sense. They are sense.

::CANNABISCONNECTION THE GO-TO SITE FOR EVERYTHING CANNABIS IN WISCONSIN

We will keep you informed each week about the growing availability of legal cannabis products in Milwaukee and what’s happening at the state level with respect to Wisconsin’s movement towards legalization, what’s happening in other states and in the rest of the world.

!"#$%&'()$"*% +*,%-.#"%+/%!"0"12% &+#(33"+*42%&567 8*9:2",%-"*: ::BY SHEILA JULSON

;

hen Jewels Caribbean Restaurant & Bar (2230 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive) featured a menu of cannabidiol (CBD)-infused foods like jerk wings, chocolate chip cookies, Rasta Pasta, macaroni and cheese pie, coco butter cocktails and margaritas during their 4/20 Day Celebration, it was intended to be just a one-time offering. But guests enjoyed the CBD food and drinks so much that, in the weeks that followed, dozens of people came in asking for them.

“At first, we said no, that was just a one-time thing,” says Natasha Jules, who owns Jewels Caribbean with her mom, Lucile Jules, and her sister, Lennora Jules.

“But then we held meetings and decided to keep them on the menu. They weren’t difficult for us to make because we had CBD oil and CBD butter left over from the event, so we thought we might as well use it.”

In addition to the foods featured at the 4/20 Celebration, Natasha notes that for an upcharge, CBD can be added to almost any menu entrée, appetizer or specialty cocktail. For the food, they use Budz Butter, a Suamico, Wis., producer of full-spectrum CBD-infused butters, olive oil, coconut oil and tinctures. Natasha says the CBD can be added during the food preparation process, as long as it’s not prepared with direct heat, like sautéing, because that could diminish CBD quality. It’s often added afterwards before serving.

They use CBD tinctures in the cocktails.

CBD, which typically has a grassy, earthy flavor, cannot be tasted in the food or drinks. While some tinctures are available in flavors like mint or citrus, Jewels Caribbean uses unflavored CBD. “But people say they feel a difference, an uplifting feeling, within about 30 minutes,” Natasha says, adding that as a restaurant, Wisconsin law requires them to have the certificate from their supplier on hand with third-party test results to be sure the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) level is below 0.3%.

Natasha believes CBD is more than just a trend, and people will continue to play around with it. She said customers still express a lot of curiosity and ask questions about CBD. That prompted the Jules family to host a series of informative sessions, beginning in August, to bring in experts such as medical professionals to answer questions about CBD. They will be held on Saturday afternoons; the exact time is to be determined (check their Facebook page for updates facebook.com/JewelsCaribbeanRestaurant). Natasha says they will also soon add a retail component to the restaurant to sell CBD lotions, lip balms, oil and brownies.

Natasha, who lived in Los Angeles before relocating to Milwaukee, observes that Wisconsin is behind in furthering cannabis legalization and could catch up, but it’s important to not make the same mistakes made in other states where marijuana has been fully legalized.

“In California, taxes are about three to four times more than the tax for food, and that’s actually aided the black market because the cannabis products have become so expensive. People don’t mind the taxation, but not that high,” she explains. “California decided to legalize it to get rid of the underground black market, but it’s done exactly the opposite.”

Other side effects of legalization in California are high fees for small businesses that want to enter the cannabis industry and a statewide regulatory apparatus that is hard to navigate.

Ally’s Café, Bistro & Catering (N72 W13350 Lund Lane, Menomonee Falls) is housed in an airy, casual space in a brick-lined business complex. Popular at lunchtime, it can take a bit of peering about the space to find an open seat.

I ordered a garlic chicken melt panini. The grilled sandwich’s fillings of chicken, applewood-smoked bacon, provolone cheese and Ally’s own garlic spread made for a filling nosh. Kettle chips and tortilla chips with proprietary salsa accompany sandwiches and wraps, but crunchy honey crisp apple slices are also an option. The slice of carrot cake for dessert was vividly flavorful, topped with a single pecan instead of the usual daubs of orange and green frosting. Also available are smoothies made in many flavors, including a novel strawberry coconut and banana split.

Ally’s opens early enough for breakfasts that include sandwiches, omelets, quiches, frittatas, biscuits and gravy and chicken and waffles. MondayThursday evening entrees include variations on the lunchtime salad, wrap, flatbread pizza and panini menus, plus ribs, burgers, salmon and chicken.

Friday nights? It’s time for seafood, including a fish fry of cod in Pabst Blue Ribbon beer batter. Live jazz combos hold forth.

MILWAUKEE CHAMBER THEATRE OPENS ITS SEASON WITH A SMART ‘UNNECESSARY FARCE’ ::BY JOHN SCHNEIDER ilwaukee Chamber Theatre opens its 45th season with Unnecessary Farce. Paul Slade Smith’s take on the classic bedroom farce is so extreme it approaches profundity. Just reading the script is exhausting because of the non-stop action described in the stage directions. We see two adjoining motel rooms. The wall between them is invisible, but the doors that connect the rooms—locked or not—are real.

Each room also has a bathroom door, closet door and hallway door. All eight doors are in almost constant use to astonishing comic effect.

Director Ryan Schabach opens his director’s script and shows me pages filled with notes and highlighting. “This took me 14 hours,” he said. “I highlighted what the playwright gives us for doors, but then I had to figure out why each door is open or closed and why a character would choose to leave that door that way at that time.

“In traditional farce, it’s six doors,” he continues. But the playwright decided to “challenge everything” and make it eight. “Two extra doors, right? It’s math!” Schabach adds.

“Two doors times the infinity of more than two hours of characters who run, not walk, in and out—two doors per minute, so two times eight, times eight actors, times 30 seconds going in and out… The minute we pace it for ‘I just need one breath,’ someone will open a door that you’re not expecting. Our combat director just spent 30 minutes of rehearsal with two actors’ bodies in space doing something that lasts half a second on stage.”

The plot is just as wild as the stage directions and starts with a sting operation. The mayor of a mid-size city—Sheboygan, Wis., in this production—is suspected of financial shenanigans. An accountant and two young cops with a video camera are assigned to get the goods on him, but nothing is as it seems. “What’s so exciting about farce,” Schabach says, “is that audiences at a certain point feel like they’re one step ahead of the game, but then, at the big reveal, it’s… ‘whoa!’” Schabach grew up in Hilbert, just outside Sheboygan. “The best farces I’ve ever seen are rooted in reality somewhere,” he explains. “Why not root this in a place I’m super-familiar with?”

SHEPHERD EXPRESS

The lengthy story Schabach tells of his journey from astronaut school to UW-Parkside’s graduate theatre program is funny and endearing. He moved to Milwaukee 10 years ago for a long-sought internship at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater. Most of his directing jobs thus far have been for theaters in Houston and Austin, Texas, to which his wife, Kay—also a professional actor—introduced him years ago. This Chamber Theatre directing job is a good next step for him. Artistic director Michael Wright is serving as his mentor.

Something to ‘Make Them Laugh Their Asses Off’

This will be Wright’s 15th and final season at Milwaukee Chamber Theatre. I ask him why he chose to open with this play. “We need to laugh right now,” he answers. “The world needs to laugh. I need to laugh. Part of it was to find something for Ryan to direct, and part of it was to offer my audiences something that would really make them laugh their asses off. I think it’s really accessible to everyone. It’s incredible fun, and it doesn’t play to the lowest common denominator. It’s a really smart and surprising comedy,

and I think it works well in the Cabot Theatre. It just fills that stage.”

Wright’s life partner, Ray Jivoff, has just finished his final season with Skylight Music Theatre. The two have plans to move to Door County and continue their creative work.

Neither is originally from Wisconsin. “Ray asked me what I’m celebrating with this play,” Wright says. “I said I’m celebrating Wisconsin. That’s partly why we wanted to put it in Sheboygan. We both love life in Wisconsin, and I’m celebrating all that’s sweet and all that’s silly about farce.”

Milwaukee Rule-breaking is the essence of farce, the definition of the Chamber genre. It may be physical rules, Theatre rules, social rules, sexual Unnecessary language rules, playwriting rules. Farce flies Farce around the edges of catastrophe.

Cabot Theatre “Oh my God, I love this play!”

Wright continues. “Pieces like Aug. 9-25 this scare me in choosing them because of that whole idea of not wanting to do only popular fare, to make money. I truly believe in this piece. It’s heart-warming and belly-laugh funny. It’s also night and day with the next play we’re doing. I always think of a season in terms of a balanced meal.”

Schabach added: “This is Michael’s last season. He doesn’t know what to say except it’s a celebration, and he’s looking forward to that beautiful place in Door County.

But he’s created this meal for artists that might not otherwise have had a chance in Milwaukee. I’m here because of Michael. He’s letting us celebrate.”

Performances of Unnecessary Farce take place Aug. 9-25 at the Broadway Theatre Center’s Cabot Theatre, 158 N. Broadway. For tickets, call 414-291-7800 or visit milwaukeechambertheatre.com.

The Comedy of Romeo and Juliet… Kinda Sorta

As the Marcus Center explains: “Faithful to the original script, the greatest love story of all time is told yet again... kinda sorta. When overdramatic, lovesick, crybaby Romeo falls in love with feuding family member, straight-faced Juliet, forbidden love (and comedy) ensues.” Quite obviously, this is not your great-great-great-great-great grandfather’s Romeo and Juliet as penned by William Shakespeare, but it’s a comedic riff thereupon courtesy of the aptly named Shakesparody Players.

The production is written and directed by Patrick Schmitz, who’s currently in his seventh year as the theater instructor at Brown Deer High School. The Comedy of Romeo and Juliet... Kinda Sorta is the 12th play he’s written.

Schmitz has worked as the lead improvisation coach at First Stage Children’s Theater for 20 years and has performed and taught for ComedySportz and performed stand-up comedy throughout the state. He’s also worked as the co-producer for the Milwaukee Comedy Festival. (John Jahn) Aug. 8-10 in the Marcus Center’s Wilson Theater at Vogel Hall, 929 N. Water St. For tickets, call 414-273-7206 or visit marcuscenter.org.

DANCE

Tap Talk

How do human beings communicate through sound and rhythm? That’s always a consideration for the artists of Danceworks on Tap, the long-running tap dance company in which virtuosity in this American dance form is put to thoughtful, innovative use. In this year’s annual summer concert in the Danceworks DanceLAB series, that question is jockeyed to the front line. The company of 10 women ranges in age from college students to middle-agers; most have been tapping since childhood. They’re good. They’ll be joined onstage by 15 community dancers chosen through audition and—if past summers are an indication—by some first-rate special guests.

“Tap Talk” includes nine original works in a range of styles from classic to contemporary to storytelling, according to co-founder, artistic director, choreographer and dancer Amy Brinkman-Sustache. “I always want to break the mold of what people think tap dancing is,” she said, then she added, “I think this show has something for everyone.” She pointed to a piece called Dendritic by company member Annette Grefig, a 2012 UW-Milwaukee dance department graduate who currently works in physical therapy. In this dance, the performers represent a human central nervous system at work and then show “what happens when things go awry.” (John Schneider) Performances are Saturday, Aug. 10, at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 11, at 2:30 p.m. 6 p.m. at Danceworks Studio Theatre, 1661 N. Water St. For tickets and more information, call 414-277-8480 or visit danceworksmke.org.

A&E::FILM

[ FILM CLIPS ] The Art of Racing in the Rain PG Enzo is a golden retriever pup when he’s adopted by aspiring race car driver Denny Swift (Milo Ventimiglia). Enzo believes the Mongolian legend that a dog “who is prepared” can be reincarnated as a human. He tries to prepare himself by watching hours of television and learning all he can about driving race cars. As Denny falls in love, marries and starts a family, Enzo remains at his master’s side, helping and narrating the action. Based on Garth Stein’s best-selling novel, this film was first attached to Universal, then Disney, and it finally found a home with 20th Century Fox. The marketing team believes that those enjoying Marley and Me will also enjoy this. (Lisa Miller)

The two threads are firmly woven together in a story that manages to gently spoof the machinery of bygone Hollywood even as it sets up suspense for one of the last century’s most publicized crimes.

The two buddies central to !"#$% &'("% )% *+,$ are Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio), a TV western actor whose star is fading, and his stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt). Their twangy speech and laconic manliness are psychologically close to the western heroes Rick portrays—and maybe to the anti-heroes he will play in Italy if producer Marvin Schwarzs (Al Pacino) lands a deal to cast him in spaghetti westerns. The power relationship is obvious: Rick flies business class while Cliff sits in coach. When Cliff isn’t leaping from

Annoyed, Cliff challenges duced if he were the screenwriter of reality Lee to “a friendly contest” and dusts the side instead of a mere filmmaker.

Brian Banks PG-13 In the thick of the #MeToo movement, this true story points out that sometimes, the accused are innocent. Promising athlete Brian Banks (Aldis Hodge) is 15 when his classmate (Xosha Roquemore) cries rape.

Forgoing a proper investigation, the overtaxed California legal system persuades Banks to plead no contest in return for probation. Naively, he takes the deal only to be sentenced to five years of incarceration followed by five years of probation.

Banks learns of evidence that will exonerate him. Reluctantly at first, the California Innocence Project attorney, Justin Brooks (Greg Kinnear), pursues Banks’ cause. Hodges registers the shock that eventually give way to Banks’ hard-won determination, demonstrating the value of due process no matter how inconvenient. (L.M.)

Dora and the Lost City of Gold PG Debuting in 2000 as a Nickelodeon cartoon series, Dora the Explorer (Isabela Moner) is a teenager in this live-action film.

Along with her archaeologist parents (Michael Peña and Eva Longoria), Dora dwells in the Peruvian jungle. Her parents send Dora to Los Angeles to stay with cousin Diego (Jeff Wahlberg) so she can attend high school. While Dora tries to adjust to city life, her parents search for the Lost City of Gold, causing kidnappers to nab Dora and several of her friends. Brought to Peru to use as leverage, Dora and company escape their captors and search for her parents.

The squeaky-clean story for tweens fails to challenge Dora in any meaningful sense.

Too bad, since her intelligence and optimism are admirable. (L.M.)

[ FILM CLIPS ] Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw PG-13 Positioned as a spin-off of the Fast & Furious franchise, this film is produced by its leads, Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham. The studio threw $200 million at the budget, allowing the effects team to create action sequences rivaling those of comic book films. And the story goes: In London, American lawman Hobbs (Johnson) is ordered to partner with former British military operative, Shaw (Statham), and Shaw’s sister, a fearless MI6 agent (Vanessa Kirby). The two men bicker nonstop, even when pitted against Brixton Lore (Idris Elba), a genetically enhanced villain who rides a mean motorcycle and is hell-bent on using a killer virus to wipe out humanity. Helen Mirren reprises her role as Shaw’s mum, but Hobbs gets family time too. On a remote island, we meet his mom and three brothers, one of whom (Roman Reigns) is Johnson’s real-life cousin. (Lisa Miller)

The Kitchen R Set in New York City’s 1978 Hell’s Kitchen, here we meet three housewives (Elizabeth Moss, Melissa McCarthy and Tiffany Haddish) whose mobster husbands are imprisoned. Unable to land good jobs and unwilling to be broke, the women continue their spouses’ lucrative racketeering for which they show an unexpected knack. They take out their (male) competition violently, capitalizing on the element of surprise. Based on DC’s Vertigo comic book series, this film provides more evidence that given the right actors, every comic book series gets its onscreen moment. The question is, will it last? Though McCarthy and Haddish are well-known comediennes, there’s little to laugh at and not much to smile about. (L.M.)

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark PG-13 Set in 1968, the small town of Mill Valley was once home to Sarah Bellows, a long-dead local legend. Sarah’s tales of torture and humiliation are accidentally brought to life by a handful of curious teens. Soon, murderous entities pursue them and other townies. From Alvin Schwartz’s 1980s children’s horror books, each of the three tomes features short stories. Critically acclaimed, these controversial books have long been targeted for banning by concerned parent groups who believe them too violent. The books found their champion in director Guillermo del Toro. Here, he produces. He also co-writes, imagining the frightful Jangly Man, a monster created for this adaptation. (L.M.)

[ HOME MOVIES / NOW STREAMING ] n “BoJack Horseman: Seasons One & Two”

The Emmy-winning “BoJack Horseman” was an ideal entry in the post“Simpsons” television universe. Out now on Blu-ray, “Seasons One & Two” (20142015) introduces the meta-story. BoJack is the washed-up star of an ’80s family sitcom, an animated series featuring a horse tending to three human children.

It’s also a genre spoof chockablock with twisty adult humor as BoJack tries to write his memoir for Penguin Books (whose editor is a penguin). The Blu-ray includes bonus material.

n “What We Left Behind: Looking Back at Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”

The Trekkies hated “Deep Space Nine” when it debuted in 1993 and the cast reads from the hate mail in this documentary: “Deep Space Nine” violates the rules, it’s not planet of the week, it’s a space station! But as shown here, “Deep Space Nine” went boldly into the television universe, casting an African American (Avery Brooks) as the commander and filling the station with strong, serious women. And yikes, it had an ongoing story!

n The Fate of Lee Khan

It’s not just the dusty trails through the rock desert that bring westerns to mind.

Hong Kong director King Hu’s 1973 film is set in medieval China, but it’s got an inn (saloon?) run by a strong woman with a shady past. The swinging doors fly open and in strides the bad guys—only here they have swords and are bested by karate-chopping serving girls. The history is handled with a light comedic touch.

n Dogman

Marcello is established as a kindly keeper of a dog kennel and a doting father to his little girl. He’s also weak and vulnerable—a minor cocaine dealer pushed along by the town bully into crime. The setting for Dogman (2018) is an Italian coastal town whose landscape is as bleak as its human society. Director Matteo Garrone (Tale of Tales) shot a grimy crime story with a crafty twist and many small cinematic moments.

fter witnessing the worst atrocities that man can inflict on a fellow mortal, how do you move forward with a sense of hope? For revered Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, the answer was to unfailingly give voice to the horrors of war and the destruction that arises from indifference. Wiesel, who was sent to the death camps of Auschwitz and Buchenwald as a 15-year-old boy, went on to author more than 50 books, most of them nonfiction Holocaust literature, including his powerful memoir Night, which has sold millions of copies and been translated into 30 languages. For his lifetime of work fighting injustices, Wiesel was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Congressional Gold Medal and many other accolades.

In the final years of his life, Wiesel shared a series of intimate conversations (and a genuine friendship) with Chicago Tribune writer Howard Reich, himself the son of Holocaust survivors, and the details of their dialogue is eloquently captured in Reich’s new book The Art of Inventing Hope: Intimate Conversations with Elie Wiesel. Reich, who mostly writes about music for the Tribune, turns his eyes to history in a moving meditation on generational grief and trauma as he simultaneously explores his personal search for mercy and justice. The unprecedented access that Reich had to Wiesel results in much more than a transcribed interview; the two men’s deep conversations lay bare the horrors of the Holocaust and reveal the painful inheritance that propels today’s survivors to speak out against hatred, racism and genocide.

Reich will speak at the Harry and Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center, 6255 N Santa Monica Blvd., on Sunday, Aug. 11, at 2 p.m. in a free event co-sponsored by Boswell Book Co.

n his first visit in 2004, Paul Salsini fell in love with Tuscany.

He discovered an extended family of cousins and enough life stories to inspire a dozen novels. Since then, the Milwaukee author wrote six in a cycle of novels called “A Tuscan Series,” tracing a set of characters from World War II through the near present.

Now comes The Ghosts of the Garfagnana: Seven Strange Stories from Haunted Tuscany, a short story collection putting Tuscany in a spectral light. Breaking with the realism of his novels, Salsini draws from the folklore of a beautifully off-tourist mountainous corner of Tuscany. “I always felt there was something eerie, mysterious about Garfagnana,” Salsini says. He recounts a few of the legends: “The Devil’s Bridge, which the devil supposedly built in the 14th century; a witch’s coven in the mountains; a place where strange voices can be heard.” According to locals, bells and voices rise from below the waterline over a town submerged decades ago with the opening of a hydroelectric dam.

Written with an almost reportorial crispness, the stories touch on many eras, including the plague years of the Black Death, Italy’s tumultuous unification in the 19th century and even a contemporary university professor who sees ghosts.

Salsini will read from The Ghosts of the Garfagnana at Boswell Book Co. on Monday, Aug. 12, at 7 p.m.

As the Sailing Center’s membership grew, so did the size of the fleet, the roster of staff and the number and type of sailing courses offered—including for the disabled—on a wide variety of boats. Off the Cuff spoke with Teresa Coronado, the Sailing Center’s program director.

!"#$%&'%$"(%)#&*&+,%-(+$(.%#+/%"01%/&/%&$%203(%&+$0%4(&+,5 The Milwaukee Community Sailing Center came into being when a group of people from the city thought there should be a place where people who want to celebrate sailing and get more people out on the water could go. The objective was that people would not have to be attached to a yacht club, because yacht clubs have their own place; they also have food and drink requirements, and most people have to own their own boats. So, we thought it would be great if Milwaukee had a place where anybody could sail, and you didn’t necessarily have to own your own boat, but you could go learn, build a community spirit, have teaching and learning moments and get out on the water.

The focus on membership is on those people who typically wouldn’t be involved in a yacht club setting. I would use myself as an example. I’m a Mexican American, my dad was an enlisted member of the military; we were very poor. Access to sailing would never have even occurred to me if I hadn’t had a grandfather who sailed. But my grandfather came from one of those white, upper-middle-class groups that had access to the water. As I grew up, I realized that I had some privileges in that particular area. Coming here to the Sailing Center, I feel that it has made efforts to ensure that all people feel welcome.

They don’t just say “we’re open to everybody” and then expect people to find them; the Center conducts outreach into the community. We’ve done good outreach into local schools, so we can get middle-schoolers and high-schoolers out sailing, as well as other community groups, such as boys and girls clubs, scouting groups and more. )0?%$"(%)#&*&+,%-(+$(.%"#'%.(#2"(/%09$%$0%9+/(..(=.('(+$(/%20339+&> $&('5 We have. We don’t want to be one of those groups that’s exclusive in terms of sailing. We want to walk the walk in terms of inclusivity. That includes keeping our prices for membership low and offering scholarships and sliding-scale fees and making sure that that information is kept private. We also have memberships for people with disabilities. They can join and have an attendant come with them, so they can get out on the water. In fact, every Friday all summer long, we have about 80 people with disabilities come down, and we take them sailing. @"&'%&'%$"(%AB$"%#++&C(.'#.7%0<%#+%&+'$&$9$&0+%$"#$%30'$%=(0=*(%&+%8&*> 1#9:((%/0+;$%:+01%392"%#409$D%!"#$%#.(%709%/0&+,%<0.%709.%AB$"%#+> +&C(.'#.75 Starting this spring, we asked our membership to do more community-centered events that weren’t just exclusively about sailing. We did a kick-off event with Milwaukee Water Commons, and we had about 100 people come through to learn about safety on the water. We also did our first blood drive, which was held in our upstairs community area space. We have a paint night event coming up, which is a fundraiser for Curt Crain.

He doesn’t necessarily do classes, but he thought it would be fun, and he’s going to show us how to create an Impressionist-style painting. For people who can’t take part in the fundraiser (tickets are $100), he’s doing a pop-up gallery, so people can see his work. Finally, we’re planning a party to celebrate our 40th anniversary to take place in October.

Squirrel Nut Zippers

Squirrel Nut Zippers are Back and Swinging ::BY BILL FORMAN

quirrel Nut Zippers may not have been America’s version of Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht, but their music did have dark undercurrents that went largely unnoticed during the short-lived ’90s swing revival. Back then, the North Carolina band’s tongue-in-cheek cocktail-lounge aesthetic and Calloway-gone-calypso sound led many to dismiss them as a novelty act. The runaway success of their quirky 1996 single, “Hell,” heightened that perception.

And so it was that, just a few years after striking platinum, Squirrel Nut Zippers came apart at the seams.

Vocalist Katharine Whalen and singer-songwriterguitarist Jimbo Mathus went through a divorce, while two of their former bandmates sued over royalties.

But Mathus has stubbornly stayed the course. As a guitarist, he recorded and toured with Buddy Guy, appearing on the blues legend’s Grammy-winning Blues Singer album. He set up a studio in Clarksdale, Miss., with a long list of clients that included Elvis Costello. He’s also recorded dozens of his own albums, including the newly released Incinerator, that venture into the realms of Southern rock, blues, honky-tonk and psychedelia.

And with 2018’s Beasts of Burgundy, the first studio album to appear under the Squirrel Nut Zippers name in nearly two decades, he’s created a work that invites a revisionist take on the band’s past recordings.

“The Zippers were always very subversive,” says Mathus. “If you look at the videos, they’re quite dark. And, you know, ‘Hell’ was about hell. We got a lot of our aesthetics from the old Betty Boop cartoons and that era of German cabaret music that was very twisted and subversive.”

The band also set its sights on the deep, dark recesses of America’s musical psyche. “The Ghost of Stephen Foster,” one of the follow-up singles to “Hell,” was essentially an answer song to Foster’s 19th-century minstrel tune “Gwine to Run All Night, or De Camptown Races.”

“Stephen Foster wrote ‘Beautiful Dreamer’ and ‘Camptown Races,’ which is a song that all schoolchildren learn,” said Mathus. “But the camptown ladies that he was writing about, those were the prostitutes that hung around at horse tracks. And he himself died an alcoholic, you know, falling down stairs. So, I mean, there’s a dark

32 | A U G U S T 8 , 2 0 1 9

side to all of American culture. And we were always good at doing happy-sounding songs that had really dark messages. That’s what we do.”

Beasts of Burgundy carries on in that tradition. The music is an upbeat mix of jump blues, Harlem jazz and Afro-Cuban polyrhythms. But the lyrics are anything but lighthearted on songs like “Hey Shango!,” which juxtaposes the stories of a black executioner in New Orleans and the condemned leader of a slave uprising in Natchez.

“The whole record is extremely New Orleans-based,” Mathus says. “It’s a city that has inspired me for three decades, at least, and I’m sure will continue to inspire me.”

The Oxford, Miss., native discovered the Crescent City in much the same manner as Mark Twain, except that the 18-year-old Mathus worked on tankers and barges rather than riverboats. “You would work a month straight, and then you would have a month off. So when I was on shore leave, I would prowl the cities. That was back in the ’80s, when New Orleans was still trapped in amber,” he says. “Before House of Blues moved into the French Quarter, that whole neighborhood was more like Confederacy of Dunces.” Rooms were $25, with wooden-shuttered doors and no windows. Frenchman Street was just pimps and whores and Snug Harbor. So it was a very different city, and it very much rearranged my chromosomes.”

So much so, in fact, that Mathus persuaded the rest of the Squirrel Nut Zippers to venture down there to record their 1996 breakthrough album Hot. Decades later, when the time came to do Beasts of Burgundy, Mathus returned to the city and enlisted Mike Napolitano, who’d Squirrel Nut engineered Hot, along with a host of local musicians to participate in the project.

Zippers With drummer Chris Phillips as the only other original Shank Hall member, Mathus likes to call his Squirrel Nut Zippers a reSaturday, vival rather than a reunion. One of his former bandmates, on Aug. 10, 8 p.m. the other hand, has described it as Squirrel Not Zippers.

Mathus bristles at the characterization. “I have the right to use the name Squirrel Nut Zippers,” he says. “It’s my band, and I got stripped of everything except that. All the money, everything that came about, was because there were two people in the band who just couldn’t handle it mentally and ended up taking it out on the remaining people in the group. So after it had been dormant for a certain period of time, I just felt like, this is too great a legacy to leave sitting on the shelf.”

So no more tankers and barges? “No more tankers and barges,” Mathus laughed, “although I still write songs about that to this day.”

Squirrel Nut Zippers perform at Shank Hall on Saturday, Aug. 10, at 8 p.m.

nter the Wu-Tang Clan, Saturday, Aug. 3 at The Riverside Theater, to a high-energy crowd eager to hear the forefathers of hardcore hip-hop in a rare performance. Long before the buZZZ of “the Beyhive,” the group of 10 rappers straight outta Staten Island established a sound that would influence and define many rappers and their styles today.

In celebration of WTC’s 25th anniversary of its 1993 debut album, Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), the group performed the entire album. They included choice cuts that showed their vocal rapid-fire prowess while telling stories of life on the streets. All individually established artists, the 10-some has their own hierarchy and “formations” during their 90 minutes set. The WTC synergy is one of kind, especially live.

Nine of the 10 original members are still living and performing: RZA, GZA, Method Man, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, U-God, Masta Killa, Inspectah Deck and Cappadonna. With the death of Ol’ Dirty Bastard in 2004, his son, Young Dirty Bastard, assumed his place, handling his vocals and often sounding like his father.

DJ Allah Mathematics handled the turntable duties to astounding effect; later in the spotlight playing the tables with arms, legs, feet, backward, on top, any which he could, always on the beat.

How fitting that WTC took the stage to “Bring Da Ruckus.” And that they did. RZA, “the Rizza,” lead the

way, intro’ing each member as they appeared, quiet yet intense, his rapping powerful and ferocious.

“I want everybody to light up their cellphones like a birthday cake,” he proclaimed, in celebration of the 25th anniversary. The lit-up theater saw the group circle back to their first successful single, “Protect Ya Neck,” with Method Man front and center, barreling through the dense lyrics with his rat-a-tat-tat delivery.

But it took “Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing ta F’ Wit” to get them into a single line formation, finally unleashing their formidable power; a “wall of sound and samples” that showcased their unstoppable fury and skillful handoff at rapping. Much to the crowd’s delight, the Clan covered “Come Together” by The Beatles, and they gave it their own rap/sing style, with the crowd waving arms side to side, singing along to every word.

But in the end, as the Clan repeatedly yelled, “Wu Tang,” and the crowd roared back, “Forever,” it was clear Wu-Tang Clan is as relevant as ever. And will continue to be a rap force to be reckoned with—forever.

n the 2000s, the three albums by Milwaukee’s .357 String Band blazed a trail of lyrically incisive, punk-infused bluegrass that left a mark on the American roots music underground. Band leader Joseph Huber celebrated the release of his fifth solo effort, Moondog, with an Aug. 1 concert at Anodyne Coffee Roasting Co. Bluegrass continues to inform Huber’s work, as reflected by the trio playing fiddle, mandolin, lap steel, electric guitar and stand-up bass accompanying his own acoustic guitar and the rack harmonica around his neck. If any of his followers miss the incendiary banjo playing Huber plied on .357’s triptych of long-players, the maturation of his songwriting offers ample compensation.

Some of the selections he played from Moondog evince the fine-tuning his lyrical pen has undergone since the dissolution of the group. “A Northwood Waltz” places Huber in the lineage of folk rockers who have taken up the mantle of extended narrative. He spoke of the song’s inspiration by friends in Wausau, WI, revealing his failure to get beyond his Wisconsin raising.

“Where You Said You Would Be” was a more compact vignette. Drawn from his impression of a picture of a lonely boy awaiting a woman friend, he was hoping to reconnect with; the sort of heartbreaking number one might wish an established commercial radio country singer would choose to cover.

At other times, he weds darker imagery to more spirited ends. Such was the case on “The Hanging Road,” one of several songs to inspire the audience to dance an improvised jig.

As with country rockers before them such as the Drive-By Truckers and the Turnpike Troubadours, local quintet the Driveway Thriftdwellers have an automotive-alluding name that ambiguously connotes humor. In their opening set for Huber, they were more about bittersweet reflection than chuckles. They reminded an older gentleman next to me of an Eagles/Leonard Cohen hybrid. My ears noted the influence of The Sadies and The Flying Burrito Brothers. Whomever one heard in them, the Thriftdwellers impressed with originals including “Northern Accent” and a rousing take on the Rolling Stones’ “Dead Flowers.”

Wu-Tang Clan’s High-Energy Hip-Hop

::LOCALMUSIC

::BY MICHAEL CARRIERE

t’s a well-worn cliché that troubled times make for great punk rock, but what does that mean for musicians who, like the rest of us, feel utterly powerless in the face of horrific polices enacted in our name? For Milwaukee-based screamo act snag, the answer to this timely query is to use their art to create both attention and resources for a group directly confronting the Trump administration’s inhumane immigration policies.

On Thursday, July 4, the group released “The Only Rational Response,” a heartfelt plea for listeners to pay attention to the atrocities being committed along the Southern border. All proceeds from downloads of the single will go to Voces de la Frontera, a group working to safeguard immigrant rights in the United States.

For snag bassist/vocalist Peter Murphy, the child separation policy implemented over the past year was the direct impetus for “The Only Rational Response.” Due to recent attention to conditions at the border, according to Murphy, “It felt like something should be done, with the revelation that there’s concentration camps right now in the United States on the border.”

That reality inspired the group to release the single on the Fourth of July holiday. “On the day that many people Snag in this country are celebrating their so-called freedom,” continues Murphy, “there are kids in cages. The juxtapoHum by Humdrum sition is pretty harrowing.”

Such subject matter highlights that snag is unafraid Fest at to tackle topics most bands shy away from, a reality that Cactus the band will further explore on their upcoming fullClub length LP. “When we started this band,” explains Murphy, Saturday, “we talked about specifically being a band that is about Aug. 10, climate. And that pretty immediately led to conversa8 p.m. tions and subject matter that was intersectional.” Since the 1990s, for example, migration to the United States has been fueled by climate change’s impact on the developing world, so there is undoubtedly an environmental side to the issues presented in “The Only Rational Response” (the song will be featured on the band’s upcoming album).

The album will also feature a song about David Buckel, a prominent gay rights attorney and environmental activist who self-immolated in April 2018 to draw attention to the dire need to address climate change. Not everyone will make such a radical decision; direct action can take many forms. But, as Murphy concludes, “We should be doing anything we can.”

Snag performs at Hum by Humdrum Fest at Cactus Club, 2496 S. Wentworth Ave., at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 10. Also on the bill are Cult of Lip, Tambourina, Blue Unit and Absolutely.

Adrian + Meredith w/ Wise Jennings @ John Michael Kohler Arts Center, 6 p.m.

Adrian + Meredith make a different sort of roots racket. Their release, More Than A Little, finds the pair putting their own spin on Americana music, roughing up the genre’s edges with the rule-breaking spirit of punk, the vintage twang of old-timey folk, the sneer of rock ’n’ roll and even the frenetic bounce of early swing and jazz manouche.

Opener Wise Jennings, a husband-and-wife duo, have made a name for themselves delivering high-energy shows with a unique songwriting and performance style. Says one observer: “They sound like a punk, psychobilly, alt-Americana, outlaw country burrito if there was such a thing and you could listen to it.”

FRIDAY, AUGUST 9

Waukesha Rotary BluesFest @ Naga-Waukee Park

The two-day annual blues festival is headlined by The Fabulous Thunderbirds on Friday and Joanne Shaw Taylor on Saturday. Three decades and now a quintet, the Fab TBirds continue to evolve but never venture too far from the source. Six albums into what looks to be a long career, British-born Taylor has settled in Detroit, where she collaborated with folks who played with Aretha Franklin. But the real prize in the crackerjack just might be Saturday’s set by Robert Kimbrough Sr. His father, Junior Kimbrough, pioneered the hypnotic electric, one-chord stomp of North Mississippi Hill Country Blues.

Hood Smoke @ The Jazz Estate, 8 p.m.

The Chicago jazz-funk combo’s sound builds from bass, adding wah-wah guitar, Fender Rhodes piano and vocals that get you moving and thinking. Great musicianship, plenty relevant lyrics and the occasional retro nod.

MONDAY, AUGUST 12 The Tritonics @ Lake Park Summer Stage, 6:30 p.m.

If there are two sides to every coin, what to make of the Tritonics? Don’t even think about it, just dance. Jeff Stehr and crew write and perform in the style of Jamaican rock steady, ska and reggae as well as covering the giants like Toots and the Maytals and The Heptones. The Tritonics also adapt songs by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Kinks, anointing them in the name of Jah with stripped down, Jamaican roots-style arrangements, one drop-centered rhythm and harmony-heavy vocals.

Chris Isaak @ Pabst Theater, 8 p.m.

Chris Isaak’s image sometimes gets more attention than his musical talent. Then again, Isaak has acted in films, had his own surrealistic television show and made countless appearances on the talk show circuit. He also has great taste in vintagelooking Western suits.

But back to the music. Isaak’s smooth rockabilly croon suggests Roy Orbison, and his songwriting is top-notch. He is touring on the 30th Anniversary of his Heart Shaped World album. When director David Lynch plucked that album’s noir ballad “Wicked Game” for Wild At Heart (1999), it was safe to say Isaak’s career as a boxer was over for good.

$uicideBoy$ w/ Denzel Curry, City Morgue, GERM, Night Lovell and Trash Talk @ The Rave, 6 p.m.

Denzel Curry opens on $uicideBoy$’ North American tour stopping at The Rave. Curry’s latest album, ZUU, caught major attraction in May for its personal focus. From Carol City in southern Florida, Curry represents himself through his storytelling ability. The album references and samples South Florida natives like Blackland Radio 66.6 and MC Cool Rick and MC Chaszy Chess.

Songs named after his father (“Ricky”) and reverences to lost loved ones like XXXTentacion and his brother Treon “Tree” Johnson pay homage to his family. It stays true to his roots, putting his own experience at the center of the album. ZUU certainly hits with hard beats and passionate energy influenced by the people and places fundamental to who he is today.

) *) *" #

::FREEWILLASTROLOGY ::BY ROB BREZSNY LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I am overjoyed that you’re not competing for easy rewards or comparing yourself to the mediocre crowd.

Some people in your sphere may not be overjoyed, though. To those whose sense of self isn’t strong, you may be like an itchy allergen; they may accuse you of showing off or acting puffed up. But freaks like me appreciate creative egotists like you when you treat your personality as a work of art. In my view, you’re a stirring example of how to be true to one’s smartest passions. Keep up the good work! Continue to have too much fun! I’m guessing that for now you can get away with doing just about anything you want as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Let’s enjoy a moment of poignant silence in honor of your expired illusions. They were soulful mirages: full of misplaced idealism and sweet ignorance and innocent misunderstandings. Generous in ways you may not yet realize, they exuded an agitated beauty that aroused both courage and resourcefulness. Now, as those illusions dissolve, they will begin to serve you anew, turning into fertile compost for your next big production.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Old rules and traditions about how best to conduct intimate relationship are breaking down. New rules are still incubating. Right now, the details about how people express their needs to give and receive love seem to be riddles for which there are no correct answers. So what do you do? How do you proceed with the necessary blend of confidence and receptivity?

Can you figure out flexible strategies for being true both to your need for independence and your need for interdependence? I bring these ruminations to your attention, Libra, just in time for the “Transforming Togetherness” phase of your cycle.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’s time for your once-a-year shout-out to your most audacious possibilities. Ready? Go ahead and say, “Hallelujah! Hosanna! Happiness! Hooray for my brilliant future!” Next, go ahead and say, “I have more than enough power to create my world in the image of my wisest dreams.” Now do a dance of triumph and whisper to yourself, “I’m going to make very sure I always know exactly what my wisest dreams are.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): During the next three weeks, I advise you to load up on copious amounts of caffeine from Monday at 8 a.m. until Friday at 6 p.m. Then drastically cut back on the coffee and consume large amounts of alcohol and/or marijuana from 6:01 p.m. on Friday through 6 p.m. on Sunday. This is the ideal recipe for success.

JUST KIDDING! I lied. Here’s the truth, Sagittarius: Astrological indicators suggest you would benefit from making the coming weeks be the most undrugged, alcohol-free time ever. Your potential for achieving natural highs will be extraordinary, as will your potential to generate crucial breakthroughs while enjoying those natural highs. Take advantage!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I don’t presume you should or will gleefully embrace the assignment I’ll propose. The task may indeed be too daunting for you to manage right now. If that’s the case, don’t worry. You’ll get another chance in a few months. But if you are indeed ready for a breathtaking challenge, here it is: Be a benevolent force of wild nature; be a tender dispenser of creative destruction; be a bold servant of your soulful dreams—as you demolish outmoded beliefs and structures that have been keeping a crucial part of your vitality shackled and latent.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I have cast a feisty love spell that will be triggered in anyone who reads the first line of this horoscope. And since you have done that, you are now becoming even smarter than you already were about getting the most out of your intimate alliances. You’re primed to experiment with the delights of feeling with your head and thinking with your heart. Soon you’ll be visited by revelations about any unconscious glitches that might be subtly undermining your togetherness, and you’ll get good ideas about how to correct those glitches. Astrological rhythms will be flowing in your relationships’ favor for the next seven weeks!

SHEPHERD EXPRESS

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I estimate that about 25 percent of your fear results from your hesitation to love as deeply and openly and bravely as you could. Another 13 percent originates in an inclination to mistake some of your teachers for adversaries, and 21 percent from your reluctance to negotiate with the misunderstood monsters in your closet. But I suspect that fully 37 percent of your fear comes from the free-floating angst that you telepathically absorb from the other 7.69 billion humans on our planet. So what about the remaining four percent? Is that based on real risks and worth paying attention to? Yes! And the coming weeks will be an excellent time to make progress in diminishing its hold on you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): When it came time to write your horoscope, I was feeling unusually lazy. I could barely summon enough energy to draw up the planetary charts. I said a weak prayer to the astrological muses, pleading, “Please don’t make me work too hard to discover the message that Aries people need to hear; just make the message appear in my mind.” As if in response, a voice in my head said, “Try bibliomancy.” So I strolled to my bookcase, shut my eyes, pulled out the first book I felt, and went to a random page. Here’s what I saw when I opened my eyes: “The Taoist concept of wu wei is the notion that our creative active forces are dependent on and nourished by inactivity; and that doing absolutely nothing may be a good way to get something done.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): There’s an old Rosicrucian vow you might have fun trying out: “I pledge to interpret every experience that comes my way as a communication of God with my soul.” If you carry out this intention with relaxed playfulness, every bird song you hear is an emblem of Divine thought; every eavesdropped conversation provides hints of the Creator’s current mood; the shape that spilled milk takes on your tabletop is an intimation of eternity breaking into our time-gripped realm. In my years of offering you advice, I have never before suggested you try this exercise because I didn’t think you were receptive. But I do now. (If you’re an atheist, you can replace “God,” “Divine,” and “Creator” with “Life.”)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Below are unheralded gifts possessed by many Geminis but not commonly identified by traditional astrologers: 1. a skill for deprogramming yourself: for unlearning defunct teachings that might otherwise interfere with your ability to develop your highest potentials; 2. a sixth sense about recognizing artificial motivations, then shedding them; 3. a tendency to attract epiphanies that show you why and how to break taboos that may once have been necessary but aren’t any longer; 4. an ability to avoid becoming overwhelmed and controlled by situations you manage or supervise.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In 1993, I began writing a book titled The Televisionary Oracle. By 1995, I had generated over 2,000 pages of material that I didn’t like. Although I was driven by a yearning to express insights that had been welling up in me for a long time, nothing about the work felt right. I was stuck. But finally I discovered an approach that broke me free: I started to articulate difficult truths about aspects of my life about which I was embarrassed, puzzled, and ashamed. Then everything fell into place. The process that had been agonizing and fruitless became fluidic and joyful. I recommend that you try this strategy to dissolve any mental blocks you may be suffering from: dive into and explore what makes you feel ashamed, puzzling, or embarrassed. I bet it will lead to triumph and fulfillment, as happened for me.

tion of data about a person. “Do I get a letter from my insurance company saying premiums are going up before I know I’m ill?” he wondered.

Hallelujah, It’s Raining Meth!

hen Flagler County, Fla., sheriff’s officers pulled over Derick McKay, 36, for speeding on Thursday, July 11, they noticed he seemed... uncomfortable, and although the deputies smelled marijuana, he denied having anything illegal. But when McKay got to the police station (having been arrested for driving on a suspended license), he admitted that he did have some narcotics hidden between his buttocks. Indeed, Fox 43 reported, McKay was holding betwixt his cheeks numerous baggies, including ones containing crack cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, marijuana, Lortab pills and Oxycodone pills.

Rapper, sports agent and self-proclaimed “Mr. Alabama” Kelvin James Dark, 37, of Talladega, Ala., was arrested in Atlanta, Ga., on Wednesday, July 10, after allegedly throwing multiple kilograms of methamphetamine off a high-rise balcony onto a street below. In a press release, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said its agents were searching the property as part of a smuggling investigation when the drugs went overboard. Agents were able to recover some of the dropped drugs—valued at an estimated $250,000—and, in Dark’s apartment, also found two semi-automatic rifles, a handgun, marijuana valued at $60,000 and a “substantial” amount of cash, AL.com reported. Dark and 33-year-old Tiffany Peterson of Atlanta were arrested for trafficking meth and marijuana, among other charges.

That’s Really Using Your Head

Take a Bite Outta Crime

If you’re trying to smuggle a half-kilo of cocaine through airport security, you might want to try harder than an unnamed middleaged man from Colombia, who was detained in late June at Barcelona-El Prat airport in Spain, according to Spanish police. The man arrived at the airport on a flight from Bogota and seemed nervous—and no wonder, with an obviously (and comically) oversized toupee under his hat, Reuters reported. Spanish police searched him and found a bundle of cocaine, worth about $34,000, taped to his head under the faux locks.

God Is My Copilot A Delta Airlines flight from Puerto Rico to New York was forced to return to San Juan on Wednesday, July 3, after Carlos Ramirez, 30, “became unruly,” Reuters reported. “I am God!” Ramirez repeatedly shouted, according to Puerto Rican police. “San Juan is going to disappear tomorrow! I came to save the world, and I am going to end terrorism!” Flight attendants and passengers restrained the man until the plane could land; then, Puerto Rican police took him into custody.

Microchip Your Swede The New York Post reported on Sunday, July 14, that more than 4,000 Swedes have willingly had microchips implanted in their hands to replace credit cards and cash. The chips also help people monitor their health and can be programmed to allow access into buildings. Jowan Osterlund, a former body piercer who pioneered the chips, says the technology is safe. But British scientist Ben Libberton, based in Sweden, said he worries that people aren’t considering the potential dangers, including the unwitting dissemina-

Roger Bridenolph, 49, of Springdale, Ark., was arrested on Monday, July 15, after a puzzling series of events. First, he verbally assaulted a cashier at a Dollar Tree store, then stole a box of Ore-Ida Bagel Bites, pushing a manager out of the way to get out of the store, according to an arrest report. When the manager followed him, KFSM reported, Bridenolph hit him in the head with the box of frozen snacks. Taking his show on the road, Bridenolph headed next door to a Wendy’s restaurant, where he demanded French fries and slapped a woman. When police arrived, they struggled with him, but ultimately subdued and arrested him for robbery, seconddegree assault, resisting arrest, public intoxication and disorderly conduct.

Pool No. 2 This summer’s “who’s pooping in the pool?” mystery took place in the Buckingham Woods neighborhood pool in Macomb Township, Mich. The serial offender had caused the pool to close several times, and the neighborhood association took swift action: “We are reviewing attendance logs and recorded video,” a Friday, July 12, statement read, according to the Detroit Free Press. Meanwhile, the Macomb County Health Department has been working with the pool to keep the water free of pathogens such as E. coli. Further, the association also hired a pool attendant to be on-site through the end of summer. On Thursday, July 18, the association announced the offending swimmer had been identified and banned, saying it is now “looking at the various options for restitution.” © 2019 ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION A U G U S T 8 , 2 0 1 9 | 37
