Harbor View Plaza

!"#$%#&'()*&+,"-"& (.&/(,*"01))2.&3)*).4& !(55)3&6)/ Park serves community as a flexible public waterfront ::BY VIRGINIA SMALL ust weeks after opening, Harbor View Plaza is making a splash as a compelling public park off the beaten path. Located along Milwaukee’s inner harbor at the eastern end of Greenfield Avenue, it offers fascinating views of the urban skyline and Port Milwaukee. It’s also an innovative play space. On recent weekend days, children waded in shallow, pebble-filled “marsh-like fountains” as burbling water emerged from limestone squares. Youngsters pumped more water into the space using well-style cranks. People also visit the park to launch a kayak or canoe, fill water bottles at a designated station or pause during a bike ride or lunch break. A bright orange lookout tower that doubles as a children’s slide will open this week in time for Harbor Fest on Sunday, Sept. 8 (see sidebar). Abundant seating allows adults to watch children play or simply enjoy panoramic views of a working Great Lake harbor. Jay Kubnick from Milwaukee’s far South Side was among those checking out the park. He photographed the subtle fountains and sent images to out-of-state friends of what he called a “true Milwaukee bubbler.” A union carpenter, Kubnick was fascinated by materials used within the plaza, including a free-standing wall made from interlocking steel panels found in sea walls. He also appreciated that a remnant concrete mooring pylon was retained and painted yellow and how images of fish were delicately cut within a metal gate. Karen Bennett called it “a sanctuary in the middle of the city; a hidden gem.” Amy Luang, a teacher, brought her children to the park after hearing word-of-mouth buzz about it.

Activities and entertainment, all free of charge, will include a boat parade, live music by De La Buena, fishing lessons, art projects, boat tours, nature walks, knot-tying lessons, a climbing wall and more. Festivities will take place in and around Harbor View Plaza, located next to the UWM School of Freshwater Sciences (600 E. Greenfield Ave.). The full list of Harbor Fest activities, as well as parking, directions, and other festival information, is available at harbordistrict.org. “So many things happen in the Harbor District that the public never gets to see,” said Lilith Fowler, executive director of Harbor District, Inc. “Harbor Fest is our chance to introduce people to the ships and boats, the fish, the science and many other great aspects of this area. It’s a fascinating place to explore.”

t the young age of 19, Dan Newberry enlisted in the U.S. Army. By the time he turned 28, he served two tours in Iraq and was awarded a Purple Heart, but in 2012, he was medically discharged. For nine years, Newberry lived in a world of structure and discipline. Everything he needed was provided for him, from the clothes he wore every day to the doctor who checked his health. But when he was suddenly let go, Newberry had to learn how to do everything for himself and had little resources to help him with the transition. “When I got out, I had a really hard time, primarily because I didn’t know how to integrate myself back into the community,” he says. More than fulfilling daily needs, the former soldier was struggling to make sense of the traumatic events he experienced in the army and unknowingly dealing with PTSD. No matter how hard he tried, Newberry couldn’t find a way to fit in. Potential employers were telling him he wasn’t worth their time and people he opened up to about his past didn’t know how to respond. When he would talk about losing a close friend in an explosion, people would respond with a story about their grandfather passing. He felt overwhelmingly lonely and didn’t want to ask for help because he saw it as a sign of weakness. Struggling with depression and unemployment, Newberry attempted suicide in 2015. “I decided I needed a way out.” After being at the lowest place in his life, Newberry started looking for things that made him feel better about himself, and what he found was physical fitness. A regular workout routine reminded him of the military and the bond he and his fellow servicemen would share every morning. He began going to the gym again but felt that the sense of community was missing. So, in 2017, Newberry began teaching a free fitness class for veterans that focused on comradery and acceptance. He wanted to create a safe space for people dealing with trauma to have a conversation. He personally understood that traumatic experiences are “wounds that don’t really heal” and sought to bring people with those struggles together. “I don’t want people to feel like I did. I wish that, when I got out of the military, there would have been something like that for me.” The class, called 22 Fitness, is hosted at FUEL Fitness in Oak Creek every Sunday at 11 a.m. Newberry structures the class so that people of any fitness level can participate. During the class, he will often share one of his difficult experiences, opening the floor for anyone that wants to talk. Since losing his way after being in the military, Newberry is now driven to help veterans find the recourses they need to acclimate back into society. The last few years taught him that he can’t always solve problems on his own. In his words, “the most courageous thing someone can do is reach out for help, and the most selfless thing someone can do is listen.” Learn more at 22fitnesscommunity.com.

::OUTOFMYMIND

!"##$%&'()'*+',' !$-"'./$00 ::BY PHILIP CHARD

“O

nce I decide I’m going to do something and set a goal, I can’t seem to let it go,” Meghan told me. This middle-aged career woman felt determined to best her already impressive performance in a triathlon. But she pushed too hard while training, and she ended up hobbled with injuries and pain. She faced a prospect that was foreign to her mindset—putting aside a lofty pursuit and moving on. “I’ve never been able to do that,” she told me. So, when stymied in her headlong rush toward ever greater achievements, she experienced intense frustration and outright agitation. “It’s like having one foot floored on the accelerator and the other planted firmly on the brake,” she explained. William was of a similar mindset but enmeshed in far different circumstances. “My son is a train wreck,” he explained, referring to his 30-something youngest. The wreck in question included alcoholism, a long series of failed treatment efforts, lost jobs, ruined relationships and financial miscues. “He lies, cheats, backslides... the whole mess. I’ve done everything I can to help him, spent a small fortune on treatment programs, bailed him out of one mess after another, but nothing works,” he lamented. A very different situation than the one faced by Meghan, to be sure, but their mindsets were quite similar; dogged persistence regardless of the obstacles. Our culture lauds this sort of stick-to-itiveness. We glorify those who, despite seemingly overwhelming odds, push through to achieve their goals, no matter how lofty. Within reason, persistence in the face of challenges and adversity can yield posi-

tive outcomes, including building character and resilience. The trick is knowing when one’s efforts have transitioned from persistence to Einstein’s oft-quoted definition of insanity—doing the same unsuccessful thing over and over while still expecting it to succeed. This flies in the face of, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” But, when “at first” becomes “countless tries,” it’s time to reassess one’s approach, if not jettison it altogether. “Your body is talking to you,” I told triathlete Meghan. “What do you think it’s saying?” “To stop training as hard, but I’m not a quitter,” she replied. “Understood. But that’s your mind talking, and, if it refuses to listen to your body, your persistence may deprive you of what is possible in a futile attempt to achieve what, at least for now, is out of reach,” I suggested. Meghan is a “push through the pain” type, so my recommendation was unattractive. The idea that reaching for the impossible may deprive us of achieving the attainable found little traction in her psyche. As for William, the prospect of giving up on trying to help a long-struggling loved one was even more unsavory. “I can’t turn my back on my son,” he told me. “That’s just not in my value system.” “It doesn’t have to be about abandoning him,” I offered. “But, there’s a difference between trying to fix someone, so to speak, and being there for them.” Unlike Meghan, this gentleman made the hard choice to change course. He stopped bailing out his troubled adult child with advice, money and resources and, instead, settled on offering what wouldn’t prove futile—his emotional support, acceptance and love. A very taxing choice, to be sure, but an attainable one. In this life, many of us confront these kinds of conundrums. We have good reasons for not letting go of certain things—failed relationships, important goals, a job one loves, a cherished activity and the like. Nonetheless, until we relinquish what can’t be changed or mastered, moving forward often becomes impossible. Meaning, at times, letting go can prove a more important life skill than dogged persistence. For more, visit philipchard.com.

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

COURTESY OF 11-ELEVEN

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.

ver the years, Cansas Steidl had seen loved ones suffer from depression, anxiety and physical pain. Back in the ’80s, her grandfather had depression, but it went unrecognized. “He unfortunately ended up taking his own life, but those things just weren’t talked about, back then,” she says. “We hope that, by educating people on a more natural lifestyle, we can break that stigma of suicide and mental illness issues and help people reach out for help.” She’s striving to achieve that through 11-eleven Wellness (127 N. Main St., Hartford, Wis.), the natural health center she formed earlier this year. Cannabidiol (CBD) products and education are the main components of their offerings. “We, as a family, have geared our focus to a more natural way of life when it comes to pain management, anxiety, depression, energy and body care products. Since we have seen friends and family battle depression, I wanted a better life for my children,” Steidl says. She began using CBD to improve sleep. Her son uses it for anxiety, and her husband uses CBD topical balm for pain. Their “CBD College” is a workshop where one can become educated and make more informed choices regarding wellness. Topics include the history of hemp use in ancient civilizations, market trends and what to look for when using CBD. “Eastern medicine is focused on using natural methods for healing, and CBD is one of them,” she says. “Western medicine is more focused on prescription drugs and surgery, which is a different philosophy.” 11-eleven Wellness offers bimonthly CBD College workshops that consumers may register for on their website, 11-elevenwellness.com. 11-eleven Wellness carries Canviva CBD tinctures and balms, which Steidl says are sourced from U.S.-grown organic hemp. There are several varieties formulated to increase energy, for cognitive

support or to improve sleep. There’s also Canviva CBD balm, bath bombs, roll-on pain gel for muscle support and a tincture for pets. In addition, 11-eleven Wellness carries non-CBD wellness products such as Naples Soap Company sea salt scrub, muscle balm and face cream. Steidl says they plan to add Eastern wellness services like cupping, dry needling, acupuncture and possibly a cannabis nurse on staff. Steidl expresses concerns about the lack of federal clarity and regulation on federal and state levels. “Contrary to popular belief, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has neither evaluated nor approved CBD products, thus rendering the claims of CBD marketers false,” she explains. “The lack of regulatory scrutiny and transparency is resulting in concerns for those consuming CBD products, including inaccurate or misleading product labels; metals, pesticides, bacteria and solvents from cannabis plants surfacing in products; many commercial products remaining untested; some products containing mood altering additives; and lower CBD concentration than advertised.” She cites a study published in the Nov. 2, 2017, edition of Penn Medicine News, which states that more than 70% of cannabidiol extracts sold online are either over- or under-labeled, causing potential serious harm to consumers. Steidl wants to change that by creating an informed base of CBD consumers as demand for the products grow. “We are responding thoughtfully to meet consumer demand by focusing on client education first and foremost,” she affirms. “That is our business: helping consumers make educated and informed choices about their wellness.” Please note that any health claims in this article are intended for informational purposes only and are not to be taken as substitutes for medical advice.

llinois awarded the first recreational marijuana licenses on Thursday, Aug. 29, which allows businesses to sell weed freely. According to the !"#$%&'( )*#+,-., the first shops to receive licenses to sell are located in Naperville, Mundelein, Joliet, Effingham and Canton. Earlier this year, Illinois made history by becoming the first state to legalize recreational marijuana through legislative action. This landmark decision, taking effect on Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2020, will allow all adults to possess cannabis and permit medical marijuana patients to grow up to five cannabis plants at home legally. However, the legal status of marijuana shops is still somewhat uncertain. Now that the sale of marijuana has been legalized statewide, the battle to decide where it will be sold is left to local governments. The Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act includes provisions for “restricted cannabis zones,” where home cultivation and some cannabis businesses can be banned. It is left up to municipalities to decide whether they want to allow cannabis businesses or not. Local communities can choose to ask for the establishment of such a restricted zone if at least 25% of the registered voters of a precinct petition their alderperson to introduce a local ordinance.

The Legal Marijuana Paradox

Out of the five cities that house the nowlicensed cannabis businesses in Illinois, only Canton and Joliet have expressed their support for the legalization movement. But in Naperville, the debate on the legality of retail sale of recreational weed has attracted national attention. The city, which largely leans Republican, has been on the fence on this issue. “Having a medical marijuana dispensary has not hurt our brand one iota. If that had been badly run, and we had issues of increases SHEPHERD EXPRESS

lovely, as was the cheese and charcuterie; the petite lobster rolls were three lovely squares of griddled golden brioche mounded with lobster. Watching the bartender smoke, stir, pour and brand a lemon peel with the Saint Kate logo was like theater. Most of the cocktails are $13, and the bubbly list is quite extensive. The fifth in the culinary line-up, TDR, should be open soon, and I’m so excited about this little restaurant tucked behind… Well, I don’t want to give you a spoiler alert, so feel free to ask any of the staff, and they will gleefully fill you in on the intimate (less than 30-seat) culinary experience. I’ll give you a hint: It is as mysterious as The Maltese Falcon or any Agatha Christie mystery on your bookshelf and has my total admiration. At Saint Kate, two floors of exceptional art and culinary experiences are housed under a single roof. It will take more than one trip to soak it all in, so pace yourself at the Bar, relax at Aria and then get Giggly. This place is a real gem but don’t take it from me because, the “Proof” is in the pizza.

Purple Door Ice Cream’s space at the entrance of Sherman Phoenix Public Market (3536 W. Fond du Lac Ave.) is an invitation for partaking in indulgent dairy delights. Purple Door’s position in Phoenix’s mezzanine makes it likely the first business a visitor sees when entering. That positioning may make it all the more difficult to resist Purple Door’s charms. If those charms are counted as ice cream and sorbet flavors, they number more than 200. Generous scoops in sugar cones or bowls may be Purple Door’s marquee attraction, yet customers desiring multiple tastes in one serving have other options. You can sample several varieties of singleounce scoops in a bowl. Flavors available on a recent visit included an explosive chocolate-cherry combination made with Door County fruit, a more subdued cinnamon and Purple Door’s signature Purple Moon blueberryraspberry-lemon sensation. Even more complex was Take Me Out To The Ball Game, a fulsome mix of peanuts and popcorn from fellow Phoenix tenant Lush Popcorn. Root beer floats, banana splits, customizable ice cream sandwiches and other treats are also available for takeout, browsing about the Phoenix and nearby seating in its airy mezzanine.

Rehearsals for Sunset Theatre’s ‘A Comedy of Tenors’

‘People Don’t Realize How Much We Have Here”

!"#$%&'()*+,-"$%'&".#$'/0'12&,'*'$%*$-# -3'4-5%6+7'6.*5*'*#6'4*8*.%& ::BY JOHN SCHNEIDER egend has it that the bank that floated the loan that built the Sunset Playhouse in 1959 demanded a simple rectangular building it could sell to other businesses when the theater failed, as they surely thought it would. Instead, the Playhouse enters its 60th season in excellent shape, financial and otherwise. The original rectangle expanded in 1998 with the addition of a studio theater and enhancements to the entrance and lobby. The mainstage theater was redone this summer to improve sightlines, and a multi-purpose kitchen is being remodeled as artistic director Nancy VisintainerArmstrong takes me through the labyrinthine complex just off Elm Grove Road—rehearsal, dance, music and dressing rooms, conference room, costume and scenic shops, storage spaces, offices and archives. “People don’t realize how much we have here,” she says. Actor, director, choreographer and former owner of the popular Viktor Viktoria clothing boutiques, Visintainer-Armstrong has led the Playhouse for the last five years. “We’ve come a long way,” she tells me. “Our shows are much better attended. We have a good handle on what our audience wants to see. We’re doing shows that people want to be in. We have actors and singers willing to drive from as far as Racine and Cedarburg. We had 135 people audition for Hairspray; 145 for Into the Woods. We can cast a show two or three times over with people so talented coming here now.” Sunset Playhouse presents a staggering 36 productions a year. It also tours children’s shows and holds improv, musical theatre and acting classes. Its mission, Visintainer-Armstrong says, is “to give actors who aren’t necessarily professional but who love the craft the opportunity to perform. But it’s also a place for volunteers who want to be involved in something, to be part of a family. No matter who you are

SHEPHERD EXPRESS

or what you do, we’ll find something for you to do. That’s what it’s really about. We have 600-800 volunteers a year. A lot of people have been here for 50 years. That’s a lifetime. They started in high school. Their grandkids are here now.” The main theater, Furlan Auditorium, is a 291-seat traditional proscenium space named for Alan Furlan, who led the organization for 26 years. The Playhouse’s first director, Ian Dobbie, had hired Furlan, an actor from New York, for 10 weeks of professional summer stock in 1959. As that experiment ended, Sunset Playhouse was founded as a community theater by 52 theater-loving couples. It debuted in September 1959 with Dobbie at the helm. Dobbie left in 1962, and Furlan took the directorship. No one is more strongly associated with the company’s history.

A Look at the 60th Season

Eight Furlan Mainstage shows headline each season now. This 60th season includes two farces by playwright Ken Ludwig. A Comedy of Tenors, which opens on Thursday, Sept. 5, is a sequel of sorts to his Lend Me A Tenor, a hit with Sunset audiences in 1995 and again in 2012. As in most Ludwig farces, the zaniness involves show biz folk and looming stage catastrophes that can be rendered with comically alarming authenticity. Here, the fiery Italian tenor, Tito Merelli, returns, years older, and refuses to sing with a younger tenor he thinks is courting his wife. Merelli will be played by Bob Fuchs, who created the character in Sunset’s 1995 production of the earlier play. The Furlan series continues with the big-cast musical Mamma Mia!; then Ludwig’s The Game’s Afoot or Holmes for the Holidays, which thrusts the lead actor of a Broadway spoof about Sherlock Holmes into a real-life Sherlock Holmes murder mystery. January brings The Marvelous Wonderettes, directed by Becky Spice, part of the cast of the musical’s world premiere at Milwaukee Rep. Next, the great backstageonstage farce Noises Off, the musical Cabaret and Neil Simon’s Barefoot in the Park. The anniversary season closes with the first musical ever staged at Sunset Playhouse, West Side Story. Ian Dobbie somehow finagled the first rights for a nonprofessional production of that masterpiece in 1960. If Visintainer-Armstrong’s goal for the Furlan series is “entertainment and home by 10 p.m. to watch the news,” the After Sunset series in the studio theater offers “what I would call more edgy plays.” Doubt, the moving response to the Catholic Church’s child abuse scandal, opens the series on Thursday, Sept. 12, followed by Frankie & Johnny in the Clair De Lune and The Vagina Monologues later this season. With table seating, munchies and a working bar, the studio theater is also the setting for Sunset’s fully professional SideNotes Cabaret series, opening Thursday, Sept. 26, with “Crown Jewels of Jazz.” A second professional series, Musical Mainstage, takes place in the Furlan on off-nights. It offers an entertaining education in music history through stories and performances. The series opens on Monday, Sept. 16, with “Peter, Paul, Mary & Friends.” For more information, call 262-782-4430 or visit sunsetplayhouse.com.

MUSIC

Present Music, “RE: Re: Rewrite”

Present Music’s founder Kevin Stalheim understood that if he wanted an audience larger than four people for challenging contemporary music, he needed to make the presentation fun. As Present Music’s first post-Stalheim season begins, the new co-artistic directors, David Bloom and Eric Segnitz, have legacy in mind. “Eric and I share a lot of artistic visions and what Present Music can do in Milwaukee. We also happen to share a lot with Kevin” says Bloom, a young New York conductor and co-director of the Contemporaneous ensemble. “For me, what’s so amazing about Present Music is the impact it has had locally and internationally.” PM’s season opener, “RE: Re: Rewrite” is “about remaking exciting work in new ways,” Bloom continues. Witness: PM’s interpretation of Steve Reich’s Radio Rewrite, inspired by songs from Radiohead, and Gabriella Smith’s Brandenburg Interstices, reimagining Bach in the context of American vernacular music and 20th-century minimalism. “I can’t think of another ensemble with this kind of community support for new and cutting-edge music. It says a lot about Milwaukee,” Bloom adds. (David Luhrssen) Saturday, Sept. 7 at 7:30 p.m. at the Helene Zelazo Center for the Performing Arts, 2419 E. Kenwood Blvd.

DANCE

Chapatti

Over Our Head Players presents what they term a “warm, poignant play,” Chapatti, “an Irish love story between two aging animal lovers” written by Christian O’Reilly. In O’Reilly’s play, romance is but a distant memory for two lonely animal lovers living in Dublin. When forlorn Dan and his dog, Chapatti, cross paths with the amiable Betty and her 19 (!) cats, an unexpected spark begins a gentle story about two people rediscovering the importance of human companionship. Chapatti received its European debut in Galway, Ireland (its playwright’s home base) following a critically acclaimed world-premiere run in Chicago in the spring of 2014. (John Jahn) Sept. 6-22 at the Sixth Street Theatre, 318 Sixth St., Racine. For tickets, call 262-632-6802 or visit overourheadplayers.com.

A Bewildering Comedy of Death and Afterlife ::BY RUSS BICKERSTAFF

O

utskirts Theatre ponders weighty philosophical issues with Sarah Ruhl’s 2007 comedic drama Dead Man’s Cell Phone. Brittany Boeche brings an engagingly sophisticated optimism to the stage as Jean, a good-natured soul who makes the mistake of answering the phone of a man who turns out to be quite dead. Jean feels honor-bound to wrap up the man’s affairs. Doing so puts her into contact with a number of people in the man’s life. Deborah Oettinger brings a cold distance to the tiny stage as the man’s mother. Kimberly Giddens is deeply enjoyable as an upper-class, young east coaster who breaks out of her shell after a few drinks and opens up to Jean. As written, the romance between Jean and the dead man’s brother feels forced and awkward, but Nate Press’ tenderness in the role builds into a charming dynamic with Boeche. In the role of the dead guy, Seth K. Hale sits quietly in the background for much of the early part of the drama. After the intermission, the character is allowed to give a monologue in which the audience is let in on just what kind of a distasteful person he truly was. Hale does an enchanting job of making a very slimy individual seem roguishly appealing. It’s not an easy task given the limited space Ruhl gives him to work with, but Hale’s wit brings a bitter warmth to the afterlife as Jean peers into it. Given the tantalizing potential of the initial premise, Ruhl’s script collapses into a bewildering farrago that director Dylan K. Sladky tames into a rather pleasant evening in a cozy theater. Through Sept. 8 at Danceworks, 1661 N. Water St. For more information, visit facebook.com/outskirtstheatre.

Written by Ted Dykstra and Richard Greenblatt, 2 Pianos 4 Hands is a comedic story of two childhood friends who spent years chasing the elusive dream of concert pianist stardom. The musical play stars Wauwatosa native, Rep veteran and Milwaukee High School of the Arts graduate Joe Kinosian and Rep newcomer Ben Moss in dozens of roles. Directed by the Rep’s artistic producer, Laura Braza, 2 Pianos 4 Hands features music direction by Kinosian, scenic design by Michelle Lilly, costume design by Nicholas Hartman, lighting design by Jared Gooding and sound design by Erin Paige.

SPECIALEVENT

UPAF’s Performing Arts Month

“While UPAF [United Performing Arts Fund] takes center stage during our annual fundraising campaign in the spring, it has become a well-received tradition to showcase the amazing and distinct offerings of our Milwaukee-made member groups [arts organizations] each fall,” says Deanna Tillisch, UPAF president and CEO. “UPAF is excited to offer free opportunities throughout September for people of all ages to get a sneak peek of what our member groups have planned for 2019-’20.” For the opening of its new season, Theater RED presents a world premiere written by Kristin Bayer and Deanna Gibeau, two up-and-coming local playwrights. Director Christopher Elst compares the show to a modern take on “I Love Lucy,” with the main character constantly embroiled in innocent miscommunications to humorous effect. The show’s songs pay homage to American music of the ’50s, as well as from barbershop to doo-wop with many stops in between. The musical play is set in 1953 in Waldenford, Penn., where girdles are tight and morals even tighter. Here, middle-aged Ethel meets Girard, a famous French artist who wants her to pose for him—in the nude. Scandalous! And what about her husband? And what will the neighbors think?

Northern Sky’s ‘Dad’s Season Tickets’ Takahiro Suzuki, “infinite horizon”

‘Dad’s Season Tickets’ at Northern Sky’s New Gould Theater in Fish Creek ::BY BLAINE SCHULTZ

T

here is a mystique about the Green Bay Packers. Something that is difficult to explain to folks outside Wisconsin. Where else would you find such a scheduling note: Featuring a Green Bay Packers friendly schedule with no Sunday shows and 3 p.m. matinées on weeknight games. Around these parts, Packers tickets are worth their weight in (green and) gold; Dadʼs Season Tickets, which opened Saturday, Aug. 31, at Northern Sky Theater’s new Gould Theater, tells the story of a family’s bond and the role of the tickets. In this play written by West Allis playwright Matt Zembrowski and directed by Jeffrey Herbst and Molly Rhode, we learn that, decades ago, Mom broke her ankle (or foot, depending on whose version of familial history you choose). Rhonda (Kelly Doherty, last seen as the scene-stealing gangster in Skylight’s Kiss Me Kate), the eldest daughter, stayed home to help Mom in the kitchen. She is not the football type. Gabby (Anna Cline) went to the Packers game with Frank, their Dad (Ray Jivoff), thus cementing the daughters’ roles in the family dynamic. Frank has attended every home game since his Dad got season tickets in the pre-Lambeau days, when the Packers played at East High School. In fact, his first date with his nowdeceased wife was a Packers game, and they

SHEPHERD EXPRESS

went to all the home games together. He still talks to her portrait hung in the living room of the house he shares with his youngest daughter, Cordy (Jamie Mercado). But there is a problem: The family does not talk. The oldest sisters are at odds, and Cordy just wants to graduate high school and go to college as far away as she can. When Mom was alive, game day was the only time when everyone got along. This underlying touch of Eugene O’Neill is balanced with a handful of tunes that range from downright hokey to deftly cultural and Packers references to the historic 1996 season. (It really is hard to beat actors in referee uniforms singing backup parts and a song like “What Do You Do with a Bye Week?”) The fulcrum, suddenly, is Frank announcing to his kids that he is scheduling a visit with an attorney to set up his will, which, of course, means who will get the tickets. The running gag of reasons why the attorney needs to keep rescheduling is paced by the updates of all the colleges Cordy gets accepted to attend. In a pair of Packers-centric subplots, Gabby’s English professor husband gets outed for his allegiance to a rival NFL team, while Rhonda is convinced her husband only loves her for the chance to get access to the tickets. (“I know a guy whose spot on the Packers tickets waiting list was willed to son.”) Substituting a scoreboard for a Greek chorus, the season ramps up to the playoffs with Cordy emerging as the voice of reason. Her plan to find out the cause of her sisters’ rift digs into coveted halftime snack recipes and family artifacts stashed in the attic, including a menu from Marc’s Big Boy. After a playoff game day argument, Frank is fed up and goes to the game alone. “Why Did I Ever Have Children,” his tune sung from the bleachers, includes a play-by-play commentator that is an homage to Meat Loaf’s “Paradise By the Dashboard Light.” When a very pregnant Gabby goes into labor (the baby’s name will make sense many years later) and can’t go to the game, Cordy volunteers. She has a heart-to-heart with her Dad at Lambeau that sets a plan in motion to tie up the family’s loose ends. And we all know how Super Bowl XXXI ended.

Milwaukee Art Museum’s ‘Portrait of Milwaukee’

OPENINGS: !"#$%&'()(*

Sept. 6-Oct. 27 5 Points Art Gallery & Studios 3514 N. Port Washington Road

::BY HARRY CHERKINIAN

W

hat defines a city’s character? Its neighborhoods? The people who populate the city? The Milwaukee Art Museum’s new exhibition, “Portrait of Milwaukee,” takes an in-depth look at the city from the 1920s through the late ’80s as seen through the lens of photojournalists and commercial photographers. Their cameras captured key moments in the birth and life of the city. Be it the civil rights movement or the punk and New Wave movements, “Portrait of Milwaukee” explores the main thoroughfares as well as nooks and crannies of the neighborhoods that define Milwaukee—and by extension, its inhabitants. “This exhibit came out of wanting to create an exhibit that highlighted the museum’s permanent collection and our city,” says Ariel Pate, assistant curator of photography. “The last big ‘Milwaukee show’ we did of historic photographs was in 1996 [“City Stories,” curated by Tom Bamberger], and it seemed like it was time to look again at our city as subject matter, especially right now, as the city is experiencing so many exciting changes.” Many of the exhibition’s 114 photos will be on public view on for the first time. These include images from the Milwaukee Art Museum (MAM) collection as well as from the Milwaukee Public Library’s Historic Photo Archives. In addition, the Harley-Davidson Museum contributed 17 photos, and still more have come from the Milwaukee Journal and Milwaukee Sentinel. Given changes in the past quarter-century, it was time to revisit and update Milwaukee in the 21st century.

Historic Photos That Set the Stage for Our Current Moment “This time period is not the distant past, and many of the subjects of the photographs are still with us today,” Pate explains. “When I read about contemporary events, I’m constantly thinking of photographs in this show: Today’s teen activists remind me of the peaceful housing marches led by the NAACP Youth Council in the 1960s; the Bucks recent hot streak and the city’s embrace of Giannis Antetokounmpo brought to mind a 1971 photograph in the show of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was named MVP that year.” And in Milwaukee, what goes around comes back around again—literally and figuratively. Where once were the trolleys now comes The Hop. “You can see the tracks right down Wisconsin Avenue in a photo in the show from around 1923,” Pate says. “This time period stood out as ‘setting the stage’ for the current moment in Milwaukee.” Many of the works are done on gelatin silver print and are stark reflections and timely reminders of the social turbulence of our not-too-distant past. A 1965 black-and-white print—Milwaukee Civil Rights Workers Charged with Disorderly Conduct after Protesting Construction of New Segregated School—is a simple yet direct head-on image of four workers of different races standing silently, yet their faces are full of emotion. Another shows Father James E. Groppi four years later being interviewed in a county jail office, the space surrounding him highlighting his isolation. And just a year later, we see Welfare March, Madison, with Father Groppi, surrounded by throngs in the bright sunlight. The pictures range from sports highlights such as veteran newspaper photographer Dale M. Guldan’s Anticipating a Rebound, Julius Erving, Philadelphia Sixers, Looks Hoopward along with his Teammates and the Milwaukee Bucks’ Junior Bridgeman, from the early 1980s, the anticipation amazingly captured in a moment where all the players are looking in totally different directions. Fellow photographer Richard Brodzeller’s Lone Traveler (1973) features a topic many Wisconsinites are all too familiar with: the dreaded return of winter in all its snowy wrath. Brodzeller symmetrically shows two city snow plows tilted on each side of the photo with the lone traveler in the middle—the silence deafening; the determination of the traveler courageous. And the subjects are as diverse and eclectic as the city itself: fireworks, city workers, Wisconsin Avenue, bus stops, politicians’ houses, parks, por24 | S E P T E M B E R 5 , 2 0 1 9

traits, the Kinnickinnic River Basin. The images flow and merge and come together, much like Milwaukee today. A major part of Milwaukee’s storied history is the city’s industries, from Miller Brewing—Lyle Oberwise’s Miller “High Life” Twirler (1954)—to Harley-Davidson with Pohlman Studios’ black-and-white prints with clear, distinct images of gas tanks, cam gears, tires and, yes, motorcycles. The joint effort with Harley-Davidson and MAM began earlier this year with the first annual Milwaukee Museum Week according to Jim Fricke, curatorial director for the Harley-Davidson Museum, and in conjunction with the MAM exhibit, the motorcycle company is featuring its own exhibition, “Building a Milwaukee Icon: Harley-Davidson’s Juneau Avenue Factory,” featuring images from the 1920s—an important period of growth for the company. “We elected to focus on the decade during which the existing factory buildings were constructed,” Fricke explains. “It was a period of unprecedented activity in technological and industrial growth, locally, nationally and globally. Among other things, it was literally electrifying—the first buildings were constructed to maximize natural light and ventilation prior to the addition of electric lights.” In many ways, “Portrait of Milwaukee” is a remembrance of things past but also a reflection of many of the same sights, places and feelings that exist in the city today. “If you look at photographs of the city from 1900 or earlier, they seem like they were taken in a totally different city: There are commercial shipping schooners downtown on the river, Victorian ladies in hoop skirts and horse-drawn carriages,” explains Pate, adding, “By contrast, the photographs that I chose for this exhibit show a Milwaukee that doesn’t feel that far away from our contemporary moment. These are Milwaukeeans living in the same neighborhoods we are living in today, working in many of the same jobs and with the same values and challenges.” Through March 1, 2020 at the Milwaukee Art Museum.

5 Points Art Gallery & Studios extends its visual representation of Chicago artists from its “This Is America” group exhibition to “Discarded,” a two-person showcase of conceptual foundobject assemblages by Marvin Tate and Spencer Hutchinson. “Discarded” demonstrates the continual lifecycle of objects in the world as Tate and Hutchinson execute masterful, up-cycled assemblages from the tossed, lost and gentrified rubbish saturating The Windy City’s urban landscape.

A&E::FILM [ FILM CLIPS ] It: Chapter Two R

Believing they’d defeated supernatural child-killer Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård) during their adolescence, members of the Losers Club (childhood residents of Derry, Maine), have grown up and moved away—save one. Mike (Isaiah Mustafa), now Derry’s librarian, summons the other Losers home when It resurfaces. Members Beverly, Bill, Ben, Richie, Eddie and Stanley (Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, Jay Ryan, Bill Hader, James Ransone and Andy Bean, respectively) return to Derry, unaware that Pennywise has called in reinforcements. His helpers are shape-shifting minions as evil as he himself. At nearly three hours in length, this sequel clocks in 35 minutes longer than chapter one. It: Chapter Two will wrap up the series as written by Stephen King, but director Andy Muschietti thinks making a prequel would be fun. (Lisa Miller)

Leonard Bernstein: Larger Than Life Not Rated

‘Mascot’

Milwaukee Short Film Festival Returns to Fox Bay with a Weekend of Indie Cinema

Leonard Bernstein was classical music’s biggest star—not for his own compositions but as a conductor who championed overlooked masterpieces and as an educator. Appearing often on television in the 1950s and ’60s, he was classical music’s great public advocate. With West Side Story, On the Town and other musicals, he enjoyed a parallel career on Broadway. Prefacing the Milwaukee screening of the 2016 documentary, Leonard Bernstein: Larger Than Life, his daughter, Jamie Bernstein, will share stories and discuss her father with theater critic Misha Berson. (David Luhrssen) 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 12, at the Oriental Theatre.

Ready or Not R

Grace (Samara Weaving) is excited to join the wildly wealthy, eccentric Le Domas family when she marries Alex (Mark O’Brien). However, following their nuptials, Grace must play a midnight game of hide and seek to gain the family’s acceptance. This means hiding in the patriarch’s (Henry Czerny) cavernous mansion. Still clad in her billowy white wedding dress, Grace learns that being “found” before dawn is a death sentence. Fortunately, at his own peril, Alex seeks to help Grace survive the night. Kooky characters and macabre satire mix tension with equal parts comedy. So... if asked whether you want to see it, feel free to say, “I do.” (L.M.)

[ HOME MOVIES / NOW STREAMING ] n The Reflecting Skin

In one of his first major roles, Viggo Mortensen plays a serviceman coming home to a rural country in 1950s Idaho. His mother is a lunatic, dad recently doused himself with gasoline and lit the match, and his kid brother thinks the strange, pale Englishwoman down the road is a vampire. The American gothic tale almost works, but what sticks to mind is the enveloping WPA atmosphere of lean-tos in an endless amber sea of grain.

n Last Year at Marienbad

The guests at a posh hotel circle endlessly around the labyrinth of corridors, padding silently on deep carpets along the mirrored halls. Alain Resnais’ Last Year at Marienbad (1961) is almost a horror movie populated by courteous zombies accompanied by a pipe organ score straight from Phantom of the Opera. Marienbad was one of the intellectual puzzles of ’60s European art house, but its legacy is less about its meaning than for its memorable images.

n Girls of the Sun

Girls of the Sun places fictional characters in a brutally real setting: Iraqi Kurdistan in 2014 during the hardest months in the struggle to defeat the savagery of ISIS. Golshifteh Farahani (Patterson) stars as Bahar, leader of an all-female contingent of Kurdish fighters who escaped ISIS captivity and pursue the struggle for freedom with determined vengeance. Emmanuelle Bercot (Polisse) plays a French journalist drawn into the fight. The scenes of close combat are tensely drawn.

n Damned Summer

Damned Summer (2018) catches the aimlessness of youth without meaningful goals. Shooting on virtually no budget with non-professionals, Portuguese director Pedro Cabeleira’s rambling style mirrors the lives at loose ends of his characters. Occasionally entrancing visual moments aside, Damned Summer often has the look of a deliberately composed home video as it wanders from scene to scene. The hedonism is casual. Damned Summer traveled the film festival circuit and was a Cannes Acid Section selection. —David Luhrssen SHEPHERD EXPRESS

Hot, Cold, Heavy, Light, 100 Art Writings 1988-2018 (ABRAMS), BY PETER SCHJELDAHL

Writing with short, incisive clarity, Peter Schjeldahl has examined visual art with clear eyes and no artspeak for the New Yorker since 1988. One hundred of his thoughtful essays, none of them prolix and some shorter than a single page, are collected in Hot, Cold, Heavy, Light. His interests span ancient Greece and Old Masters through Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec to Andy Warhol and JeanMichel Basquiat. He gets to the point with a sharpened pen. On Pablo Picasso, who crowed “I’m God! I’m God!” to the women in his portraits, Schjeldahl writes, “It must have killed him to die.” (David Luhrssen) SHEPHERD EXPRESS

!

amily bonds may seem unbreakable, but sometimes the ties that bind us become incredibly tenuous. Family secrets and hidden histories can drive even the closest of siblings apart, which is what happens to Irish twin sisters Shannon and Eliza Malone in author Susan Welch’s debut novel, A Thread So Fine. The St. Paul, Minn.-based sisters grow up fiercely loyal to each other, yet with different dreams for their futures—dreams derailed by unexpected tragedies that keep them apart for decades. In 1946, the Malone sisters are on the cusp of womanhood when tragedy strikes in the form of a tuberculosis diagnosis and an unexpected pregnancy. In the optimistic post-war years, the White Plague still landed thousands of sick patients in sanatoriums, where they were isolated from society for an average of a year’s time, while having a baby out of wedlock (especially in a conservative Roman Catholic family) was a severely shameful secret that countless women hid from family and friends. With one sister isolated in her sick bed and the other fleeing to the East Coast, the ensuing narrative follows both women over the next three decades as they struggle to find a way back to one another. Welch, who grew up in Minnesota and Wisconsin, wrote A Thread So Fine after learning of her own adoption as an adult. She began the book by imagining the choices her own unwed mother was forced to make in a more socially restrictive time. Susan Welch will discuss A Thread So Fine at Boswell Book Co. on Thursday, Sept. 5, at 7 p.m.

ick Offerman is a man of many hats. He’s an award-winning actor, writer, comedian and wood craftsman. As such, he considers himself to be a “curious student of life.” Best known for his portrayal of Ron Swanson on NBC series “Parks and Recreation,” the mustached one is always thinking of ways to better himself and help others. “I’m well aware of my failings as a human being, as we all are flawed by definition,” Offerman says. “We’ll never be done improving ourselves because we’re human beings and human nature would deem that we’ll never be perfect. Even Gandhi was very vocal about how he always still had work to do.” As a result, Offerman has chosen to use his current “All Rise” standup tour as a forum to explore the human condition in the 21st century and how to better ourselves with sidesplitting results. The show mixes his offbeat humor, deadpan delivery and musical abilities with thoughtful discussion of important topics facing humanity. It’s a show where audience members laugh and think, sometimes at the same time. “I love asking the questions of the day. What’s bothering me? What’s on my mind? What am I trying to get better at within me and without me? And I love sharing that with an audience,” Offerman says. “I consider it a great privilege to get to travel around the country, meet the population about 2,000 people at a time and say, ‘Let’s all come together and have a laugh about what jackasses we all are.’”

SHEPHERD EXPRESS

As a theater-trained actor, Offerman didn’t have early aspirations to do standup. But during his time on “Parks and Recreation,” colleges started requesting him to perform standup. “I said, ‘what the heck?’ And started writing material because I wanted to take advantage of communicating directly, not through a script or through a fictional narrative, but just me sharing my thoughts with an audience,” he says. “And when I discovered that I could make people laugh doing that, it was incredibly gratifying. It’s one of the luckiest things I can imagine a person can get paid to do.” During his standup set, he’ll occasionally bring out his ukulele that he built. Offerman has spent the last 20 years as a woodworker and has an avid obsession with building furniNick ture and other things. Offerman “I think the best thing I’ve made so far is my first canoe, Riverside an 18-foot wooden canoe built of mostly western red cedar Theater and then my first ukulele that is made almost entirely of Thursday, mahogany,” Offerman says. “Both of those artifacts, whether Sept. 12, I’m paddling the canoe across a river or I’m entertaining an 7:30 p.m. audience with a ukulele playing a song that I think is mostly identifiable as a musical composition, they both feel like I’m exhibiting a superpower.” “I learned early on that if I keep the people laughing, they don’t notice quite how clumsy of a musician that I am,” he adds. “So, when you make your own instrument, there is a magic to it… It casts a bit of a glamour over the audience. It blurs their vision and casts a complimentary veil over their ears to where they think they’re hearing something good. Even though it’s just me.” Nick Offerman performs at the Riverside Theater on Thursday, Sept. 12, at 7:30 p.m. For more of our interview with Nick Offerman, visit shepherdexpress.com.

Xposed 4Heads

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5

“Stuck in Orbit” (INTERNAL COMBUSTION) The further away the 1980s are in our collective rearview mirror, the clearer it becomes: Xposed 4Heads have realized an ideal of that decade’s danceable, synthetic new wave sounds. “Stuck in Orbit” marks the second single in as row apart from an album for the Milwaukee band who have been around, in some form since at least, since the Reagan administration. And with the background-singing Star Girls’ “uh ohs!” punctuating the keyboard and sequencer arrangements, “Stuck in Orbit” could be the best single Devo never recorded. Mark G.E. sings this message of breaking free from one’s rut and embracing a positive attitude with cheeky swagger. Heard in the spirit the 4Heads doubtless intends, it’s a perky bit of uplift. And may a full longplayer as consistently potent be forthcoming soon. —Jamie Lee Rake

Zach Brock, Matt Ulery and Jon Deitemyer Wonderment (WOOLGATHERING) The lineup is not unheard of but remains unusual: a jazz trio consisting of violin, bass and drums. But calling Wonderment a jazz album doesn’t entirely define it. Violinist Zach Brock takes the lead, defining the melodies as Matt Ulery maintains thrumming bass lines and Jon Deitemyer tictocs on drums. Surprises include Brock’s gorgeous title number with a melody worthy of midcentury Broadway and Ulery’s “Levelled,” which sometimes suggests the imperative drive of prog rock. —Morton Shlabotnik 34 | S E P T E M B E R 5 , 2 0 1 9

Todd Umhoefer is retiring Old Earth. A decade after Old Earth’s first album, he says he wanted to hold the final show at Linneman’s because that’s where he “found my voice as a songwriter. As the 10-year anniversary loomed, I thought it was as good a Old Earth day as any to release the last and celebrate with a release show at the same venue.” He is retiring the project because he has said what needed to be said “to the best of my resources, abilities, time and energy. I tried to keep sincerity at the forefront.”

Penn & Teller @ Riverside Theater, 8 p.m.

Deadpan humor. Brilliant wise-asses. Modern sleight of hand. For more than 40 years, Penn & Teller have defied labels—and at times physics and good taste—by redefining the genre of magic and inventing their own very distinct niche in comedy.

Acoustic Anarchy Planned Parenthood Benefit @ Linneman’s Riverwest Inn, 7 p.m.

shepherdexpress.com/cbdshop

WED., SEPT. 11 Guida w/ Indonesian Junk @ Shank Hall, 8 p.m.

COURTESY OF DAMAGED GOODS

The current president and his administration have set guidelines that make it difficult for women to get health services. Planned Parenthood has said it will refuse federal funds instead of complying with new rules. Acoustic Anarchy is a loose collection of local musicians who have been playing together for years in various combinations in local venues and each other’s living rooms. The list of performers will vary from gathering to gathering, depending on who is out on bail and who has permission from their parole officer or spouse to participate. Expect interpretations of American folk music, blues, swing, country and rock ‘n’ roll. This evening’s show is a benefit for Planned Parenthood.

Guida Formed in 2007, Italian band Guida is influenced by the sounds of Slade, Glitter Band, Hector, Third World War and Slaughter & The Dogs. Openers Indonesian Junk might just be Milwaukee’s best-kept secret. Too often found playing tiny clubs with less-than-adequate sound systems, in this show, Guida and Indonesian Junk will have the wattage to, as we used to say, kick out the jams.

Backstreet Boys DNA World Tour @ Fiserv Forum, 8 p.m.

Here is yet another prescription for nostalgia. On their biggest arena tour in 18 years, the Backstreet Boys will also release an album, DNA, in January. Formed in 1993, at some point will it be politically incorrect to call them “boys” or merely inaccurate? They are old enough to be parents to the current crop of K-Pop boy bands.

Ask Restaurateur Scott Johnson @ Jazz Gallery, 1 p.m.

As part of the OWL (Older, Wiser, Local) series, entrepreneur (Fuel Café, Comet Café, BelAir), philanthropist and motorcycle-racing maven Scott Johnson discusses his entrepreneurial journey. The unassuming Johnson is one of the city’s treasures, and here is a chance to hear the story from him. SHEPHERD EXPRESS

::NEWS OF THE WEIRD

::FREEWILLASTROLOGY ::BY ROB BREZSNY VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I don’t know if the coming weeks will be an Anaïs Nin phase for you. But they could be if you want them to. It’s up to you whether you’ll dare to be as lyrical, sensual, deep, expressive and emotionally rich as she was. In case you decide that YES, you will, here are quotes from Nin that might serve you well. 1. It is easy to love and there are so many ways to do it. 2. My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to find peace with exactly who and what I am. 3. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I cannot transform into something marvelous, I let go. 4. Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage. 5. It was while helping others to be free that I gained my own freedom. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “When you’re nailing a custard pie to the wall, and it starts to wilt, it doesn’t do any good to hammer in more nails.” So advised novelist Wallace Stegner. I hope I’m delivering his counsel in time to dissuade you from even trying to nail a custard pie to the wall—or an omelet or potato chip or taco, for that matter. What might be a better use of your energy? You could use the nails to build something that will actually be useful to you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I hid my deepest feelings so well I forgot where I placed them,” wrote author Amy Tan. My Scorpio friend Audrey once made a similar confession: “I buried my secrets so completely from the prying curiosity of other people that I lost track of them myself.” If either of those descriptions apply to you, Scorpio, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to secure a remedy. You’ll have extra power and luck if you commune with and celebrate your hidden feelings and buried secrets. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “No Eden valid without serpent.” Novelist Wallace Stegner wrote that pithy riff. I think it’s a good motto for you to use in the immediate future. How do you interpret it? Here’s what I think. As you nourish your robust vision of paradise-on-earth, and as you carry out the practical actions that enable you to manifest that vision, it’s wise to have some creative irritant in the midst of it. That bug, that question, that tantalizing mystery is the key to keeping you honest and discerning. It gives credibility and gravitas to your idealistic striving. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The coco de mer is a palm tree that grows in the Seychelles. Its seed is huge, weighing as much as 40 pounds and having a diameter of 19 inches. The seed takes seven years to grow into its mature form, then takes an additional two years to germinate. Everything I just said about the coco de mer seed reminds me of you, Capricorn. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’ve been working on ripening an awesome seed for a long time and are now in the final phase before it sprouts. The Majestic Budding may not fully kick in until 2020, but I bet you’re already feeling the enjoyable, mysterious pressure. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you throw a pool ball or a bronze Buddha statue at a window, the glass will break. In fact, the speed at which it fractures could reach 3,000 miles per hour. Metaphorically speaking, your mental blocks and emotional obstacles are typically not as crackable. You may smack them with your angry probes and bash them with your desperate pleas yet have little or no effect. But I suspect that in the coming weeks, you’ll have much more power than usual to shatter those vexations. So, I hereby invite you to hurl your strongest blasts at your mental blocks and emotional obstacles. Don’t be surprised if they collapse at unexpectedly rapid speeds. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the 13th century, the Italian city of Bologna was serious about guarding the integrity of its cuisine. In 1250, the cheese guild issued a decree proclaiming, “If you make fake mortadella… your body will be stretched on the rack three times, you will be fined 200 gold coins, and all the food you make will be destroyed.” I appreciate such devotion to purity and authenticity and factualness. And I recommend that in the coming weeks, you commit to comparable standards in your own sphere. Don’t let your own

offerings be compromised or corrupted. The same with the offerings you receive from other people. Be impeccable. ARIES (March 21-April 19): John Muir (1838– 1914) was skilled at creating and using machinery. In his 20s, he diligently expressed those aptitudes. But at age 27, while working in a carriage-parts factory, he suffered an accident that blinded him. For several months, he lay in bed, hoping to recuperate. During that time, Muir decided that if his sight returned, he would thereafter devote it to exploring the beauty of the natural world. The miracle came to pass, and for the rest of his life he traveled and explored the wilds of North America, becoming an influential naturalist, author and early environmentalist. I’d love to see you respond to one of your smaller setbacks—much less dramatic than Muir’s!— with comparable panache, Aries. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Of all the children on the planet, 3 percent live in the U.S. And yet, American children are in possession of 40 percent of the world’s toys. In accordance with astrological omens, I hereby invite you to be like an extravagant American child in the coming weeks. You have cosmic permission to seek maximum fun and treat yourself to zesty entertainment and lose yourself in uninhibited laughter and wow yourself with beguiling games and delightful gizmos. It’s playtime! GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The ama are Japanese women whose job it is to dive to the sea bottom and fetch oysters bearing pearls. The water is usually cold, and the workers use no breathing apparatus, depending instead on specialized techniques to hold their breath. I propose we make them your inspirational role models. The next few weeks will be a favorable time, metaphorically speaking, for you to descend into the depths in quest of valuables and inspirations. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Renowned Cancerian neurologist Oliver Sacks believed that music and gardens could be vital curative agents, as therapeutic as pharmaceuticals. My personal view is that walking in nature can be as medicinal as working and lolling in a garden. As for music, I would extend his prescription to include singing and dancing as well as listening. I’m also surprised that Sacks didn’t give equal recognition to the healing power of touch, which can be wondrously rejuvenating, either in its erotic or nonerotic forms. I bring these thoughts to your attention because I suspect the coming weeks will be a Golden Age of non-pharmaceutical healing for you. I’m not suggesting that you stop taking the drugs you need to stay healthy; I simply mean that music, nature and touch will have an extra-sublime impact on your wellbeing. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you visualize what ancient Rome looked like, it’s possible you draw on memories of scenes you’ve seen portrayed in movies. The blockbuster film Gladiator, starring Russell Crowe and directed by Ridley Scott, may be one of those templates. The weird thing is that Gladiator, as well as many other such movies, were inspired by the grandiose paintings of the ancient world done by Dutch artist Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836–1912). And in many ways, his depictions were not at all factual. I bring this to your attention, Leo, in the hope that it will prod you to question the accuracy and authenticity of your mental pictures. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to get fuzzy and incorrect memories into closer alignment with the truth, and to shed any illusions that might be distorting your understanding of reality.

You’re Screwed

I

f you’ve experienced one (or more) flat tires in Sherburne County, Minn., over the last few weeks, News of the Weird is now able to tell you why. Jeffrey Caouette, 63, of Elk River admitted to authorities in late August that he had purchased 55 pounds of sheetrock screws (that’s more than 12,000 screws) and scattered them on local roads to “slow down” a person he believed was in a relationship with his ex-girlfriend. Specifically, KSTP reported, he put the screws on the road where he believed the man lived and on the roads between that house and the exgirlfriend’s house, among others. The arrest complaint notes that Big Lake police have received more than 100 reports of damage from the screws, including to three of their own vehicles. Caouette was charged with first-degree property damage.

Thumbs Up! Jacob Pina, 20, of Westport, Mass., can’t explain his physical oddity, but that’s not stopping him from firmly grasping his 15 minutes of fame. Pina, recently dubbed “Thumb Boy,” unveiled his unusually long (5 inches!) right thumb on the TikTok app on Saturday, Aug. 24, reported Metro News. “There’s no reason it’s so big; just an anomaly,” Pina posted. “I feel great about it. It’s always great to be different and embrace your own essence.” Pina has gained 145,000 followers on the app— and he’s never lost a thumb war.

Ewwww! Firefighters near Estacada, Ore., rescued a woman on Tuesday, Aug. 20, who had been trapped in a septic tank on her rural property. The unidentified woman, who lives alone, couldn’t alert neighbors of her predicament because they live out of shouting range. Her daughter found her after becoming concerned when she was unable to reach her mother for four days. Firefighters told KATU that work appeared to be being done on the tank: A hole had been dug exposing the tank, which had a rusted two-by-two-foot hole in its lid. The woman had apparently fallen through the hole and was lying in… sewage, with her face just

above the surface, when rescuers got to her. They did not see any visible injuries on her, but she was transported to a hospital in Portland.

Hand Gun A Pennsylvania state appellate court has ruled against Stephen Kirchner, who was convicted in a lower court for disorderly conduct in 2018 for pointing his finger like a gun at a neighbor. In June of that year, KDKA reported, Kirchner was walking past a neighbor’s home in Manor, Penn., when the neighbor made an obscene gesture with his hand. Kirchner responded by making a shooting gun gesture with his own hand (including making a recoiling move as if he’d just fired a weapon). A witness called 911, and the unnamed neighbor told police he felt “extremely threatened.” Kirchner argued that his gesture was not a hazard, but the appeals court disagreed.

Machete Madness In Hudson, Fla., Pasco County deputies arrested 46-year-old Keith Mounts on a felony aggravated assault charge after he allegedly threatened an unnamed man with a machete. A sheriff’s office spokesperson said the two men were at the victim’s home on Saturday, Aug. 24, when Mounts used the bathroom and “didn’t flush, and when the victim called him on it, the suspect threatened to ‘chop’ him,” according to Newsweek. The arrest report said officers found the machete in the yard, and Mounts told them he was using it to defend himself, but he couldn’t say from what. He did provide a written statement saying simply, “Shit happened.”

Eye of the Beholder In downtown Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, someone left a plate of macaroni and cheese, complete with fork, sitting atop a steel road barrier on Tuesday, Aug. 27, which caught the interest of a Reddit poster. No one knew where it came from or if someone would be back to retrieve it, but a day later, an anonymous citizen made it into an art installation, reported CTV News, by adding a museum-like tag beside it: Abandoned Snack (2019)—macaroni and sundried tomato on ceramic—Unknown Artist, reads the placard. © 2019 ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION
