‘We Are Reaching the End of the Rope’

Local officials make the case for the ‘Fair Deal for Milwaukee County’ ::BY DAN SHAW hen Milwaukee County officials tried to increase local sales taxes in 2008, they gave the final say on the proposal to state lawmakers. Many now think that was a mistake. Now, the County is back with a similar proposal for a 1% sales tax increase, but the steps to get there are essentially coming in the reverse order.

This time, unlike in 2008, local officials won’t first be asking the public to approve a non-binding “advisory” referendum and then going to the state Legislature for final approval. Instead, they are going first to legislators for permission to hold a binding vote in April 2020.

If Madison goes along, the final decision will be left to Milwaukee County voters. Will that be enough?

Tight Budgets and Revenue Shortfalls

ANNA WARD

If facts and figures were sufficient arguments in themselves, Milwaukee County of! ficials would have an open-and-shut case. Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett announced in September that budgetary constraints are forcing him to eliminate positions for 60 police officers after they are vacated by retiring employees. Meanwhile, he and other city officials have estimated they’ll have to find $100 million in the coming years to meet pension obligations for retiring city workers.

Milwaukee County has separately been dealing with annual revenue shortfalls of $20-30 million. Every year, the cancellation of bus routes and curtailment of other services are real possibilities. Beyond that, the county has what the Wiscon! sin Policy Forum has deemed a “seemingly insurmountable” backlog of possibly more than $500 million-worth of infrastructure projects. The $160 million the proposed 1% sales tax increase would raise in its first year would not only help lo! cal officials overcome these shortfalls but also help lower property taxes; a quarter of whatever is raised would be used for this sort of relief.

That would help shift local governments away from what many believe is an overreliance on property taxes. Largely because of state-imposed limits on both property taxes and sales taxes, Wisconsin municipalities are more constrained than their coun! terparts elsewhere in their ability to raise revenue. The resulting pinch is being felt not just in the city and county of Milwaukee, but also in places like Franklin and St. Francis. Separately, in a bid to win local support, a quarter of whatever is raised would also be used to lower property taxes.

4 | OCTOBER 10, 2019

Yet, as has been true about so many policy debates in Wisconsin in recent years, the Milwaukee County proposal’s fate is likely to be complicated by national poli! tics. State Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald—a conservative Republican now running for the congressional seat held by retiring U.S. Rep. James Sensen! brenner—has already decreed the “Fair Deal for Milwaukee County” proposal “dead on arrival,” and other Republican lawmakers will no doubt be reluctant to buck their party’s usually adamant stance against raising taxes, even if no increase could be passed without the approval of the voters.

Mayor Barrett’s hopes lie with the public. In a city and county where crime is a perennial concern, residents are unlikely to take the loss of 60 police positions sitting down. “For the fifth or sixth year in a row, the budget for the Milwaukee Police De! partment is larger than the entire property tax levy for the city of Milwaukee,” he said.

“That’s totally non-sustainable.”

Overcoming Republican Obstruction

Milwaukee County officials recognize getting the Fair Deal proposal through the Republican-controlled Legislature will not be easy. Some hold out hope that Democrats can join with Republicans representing the Milwaukee area and form a coalition that will have enough votes to get the plan adopted. Others have noticed encouraging signs among voters. At a series of 12 public hearings held throughout the county, Theo Lipscomb, chairman of the Milwaukee County Board of Super! visors, said he has found that people generally recognize a need for something like the Fair Deal proposal.

“Everybody sees shortcomings,” he said. “Even in places where they aren’t neces! sarily concerned about spending on parks and transit, there are maybe roads or a bridge or something in their neighborhood that needs work. So it’s something for everybody.”

Lipscomb also noted that, even with a 1% increase, local sales taxes would remain lower than in many other Midwestern cities. Assuming the local 0.1% sales tax used for the construction of Miller Park ends next year, the Fair Deal proposal would bring the local rate to 6.5%. (The state now has a 5% tax and the county a 0.5% tax.) Pitts! burgh and Indianapolis both collect sales taxes at a rate of 7%. Chicago is tied for having the highest rate in the country: 10.25%.

But Milwaukee County officials know that they can’t make a compelling case sim! ply by arguing that “people have it worse elsewhere.” They also note that, by relying more on sales taxes and less on property taxes, they would be getting more money from people who commute into the county for work but may not own any taxable property here. A quarter of the revenue raised is expected to come from people living outside the county, and since Milwaukee’s sales tax is not collected on groceries, phar! maceuticals, medical equipment and other goods deemed essential, it is considered “progressive” and not especially burdensome on people of restricted means.

Rob Henken, president of the Wisconsin Policy Forum, declined to say whether he and his colleagues usually refrain from publicly endorsing policy proposals like the Fair Deal for Milwaukee County, but there’s no doubt, he said, that something is needed in response to some real deficiencies. “There’s a fundamental structural problem facing local governments that will require some type of solution if we wish to both avert significant service cuts going forward and fully take care of infrastructure needs,” he said.

Lipscomb noted that the process being used to pass this latest sales tax proposal is not the only thing that differs from what was seen in 2008. This time around, the 1% increase has the support of a large number of groups, including the Metropolitan Mil! waukee Association of Commerce, which had been opposed to the previous attempt.

But even with that support, Lipscomb and other Milwaukee County officials acknowledge what they are proposing won’t be easy to carry out. Even if they do manage to persuade state lawmakers, they will still have to make their case to the voters. “I’m not naïve to the fact that this is a big lift,” he said. “It’s also that important. We are reaching the end of the rope. There are just so few other options left, and the alternatives are so dire.” !"##$%&'(&')*$+*$,-$.+,$))/0"#/'n

Whitefish Bay Maintains Its Standards as a Livable, Walkable Community

!

!"#$ %&'($ )!*+&,-..$ /0,'"($ 1,2,321$ 4.5.*6 07!'8$ &"$ +#&"$ 1..%1$ "0$ 2.$&$3&7!4$7&9.:!"#$$"%!&'(! changed in Whitefish Bay throughout the years. Located on the shores of Lake Michigan, the picturesque village with a population of 14,000 offers friendly neighbors, walkability and many small businesses and restaurants. “One of the draws about Whitefish Bay is that there is !"# a fast pace of change.

We are a fully built-out, residential community,” says Village Manager Paul Boening.

Spanning just more than two miles, the compact village is extremely pedestrian friendly.

“We are a walkable community. There is no part of the village that doesn’t have sidewalks,” Boening continues. Julie Siegel, longtime Whitefish Bay resident, village board member and village president for the last nine years, adds that the ease of getting around the village on foot is one of the main reasons she and her husband wanted to move to the village 30 years ago. “We wanted that walkability,” she says.

Family owned German restaurant Jack Pandl’s Whitefish Bay Inn has served customers for more than a century. According to Boening, “it’s part of the fabric of Whitefish Bay.” Third-generation restaurant owner John Pandl and his wife, Laura, who has been working in the restaurant since she was a teenager, enjoy owning a business in the small, friendly community. “People grow up here and leave for a bit but end up coming home to raise their own family,” John Pandl says. The Pandls agree that the Whitefish Bay community is supportive of small businesses. “I think people understand the value of supporting local shops and restaurants; it makes a community stronger,” says Laura Pandl.

The village’s business improvement dis-

trict, renamed the Merchants of Whitefish Bay, was started 10 years ago to promote Whitefish Bay’s small businesses, many of them lining the East Silver Spring Drive corridor. Although two longtime businesses, Fitzgerald’s Pharmacy and Regina’s Bay Bakery, recently closed their doors (Fitzgerald’s after an impressive 65 years in business), several others, including Fox-Bay Cinema Grill (which opened in 1951) and Sendik’s grocery store, show no signs of lagging. Sendik’s, which opened as a fruit and vegetable stand in 1949, is “an institution of the Silver Spring corridor,” Boening says.

Whitefish Bay will welcome two new businesses later this year. Coffee and donut popup shop Donut Monster plans to open its first brick-and-mortar location at 5169 Elkhart Ave., and boutique fitness center Burn Boot Camp will open at 415 E. Silver Spring Drive.

“The village’s walkability and welcoming nature have helped keep businesses viable and successful,” said Jeff Commer, Merchants of Whitefish Bay president and a resident of the village since 1993. He noted that more than 100 businesses belong to the organization.

"#$%&'$()*%+( ,-$./(0$.1-2%/34

Both the Merchants of Whitefish Bay and the Whitefish Bay Citizen Foundation organize many community events, such as the environmentally themed Green Day in the Bay. Family friendly events include the annual Fourth of July festivities at Klode Park and the pumpkin festival at Schoolhouse Park. Held in July along East Silver Spring Drive, the annual Art Festival showcases more than 80 art and jewelry vendors, while the Holiday Stroll, held on the Friday after Thanksgiving, is “a testament to the merchants succeeding on the street,” ac-

cording to Commer. The Silver Spring corridor also holds a Halloween event for children and adults, in which area businesses give out trick or treat candy, and Johnson Bank gives out hundreds of hotdogs to hungry pedestrians. These events, along with the Whitefish Bay Farmers Market, which runs May through mid-October, draw many nonresidents to the village. “Really, having the sense of a close-knit, quaint community is evident here,” Boening says. “People know their neighbors.”

The village’s home prices reflect its desirability. According to Zillow.com, Whitefish Bay has a median home value of $410,000, nearly triple that of Milwaukee’s. Built at 401 E. Beaumont Place about five years ago, the Mandel Group’s Beaumont Place complex houses 80 luxury apartments. “It’s really helped to revitalize the corridor,” Boening adds.

Siegel and Boening believe that Whitefish Bay’s exceptional school district and quality municipal services help attract and retain village residents. Garbage pickup, for example, is done by city employees, not contracted out.

Recently, solar panels were added to the Department of Public Works building at 155 W. Fairmont Ave. A ribbon-cutting ceremony to

celebrate the building’s green addition was held on Wednesday, Sept. 25. Besides being eco-friendly, the solar panels will mean significant cost savings over time. “We are going to save more than $600,000 in 10 years by going solar,” Siegel says.

Whitefish Bay boasts several parks and recreation areas, including the newly named Craig Counsell Park (6300 N. Lydell Ave.), which features baseball diamonds, soccer fields, a concession building and restrooms. The village has entered into an agreement with local youth hockey organization Milwaukee Winter Club to build a full-size ice rink in Cahill Park, which would replace the park’s six tennis courts. Boening said the rink, which would utilize a commercial ice chiller, would be open to the public November through March, beginning next year.

“We are trying to create these public and private partnerships,” said Siegel. She maintains that, despite these added community amenities, property taxes will not increase. “[In Whitefish Bay], you get quality services and a sense of community with a hometown village feel,” Boening concludes. $"%%&!#'(#')*&+*&,-&.+,&))/0"%/ n

::BY THE MILWAUKEE REENTRY COUNCIL

!

E HEAR EVERY DAY THAT THE ECONOMY IS BOOMING AND UNEMPLOYMENT IS AT HISTORIC LOWS. That may be true for those with a squeaky-clean background and work history, but there are many individuals seeking work in our community who have been left out of today’s prosperity. Topping the list of these deserving but overlooked job-seekers are community members who have been involved in the criminal justice system—an estimated 1.4 million individuals in Wisconsin—at the same time employers say there’s a labor shortage. These returned citizens have paid their debt to society; they want to get back to work and, most importantly, not return to prison. Yet, they face many obstacles on their path to employment.

We’ve found that one of the biggest obstacles these job-seekers face is perception of risk. When they apply for a job and an employer discovers that they have been incarcerated, they’re treated with extreme caution if not outright rejected. Employers worry that returned citizens will cause problems on the job, commit another crime and go back to prison, or have no work skills or soft skills, making them a bad bet.

But employers should know that their perceptions are misguided. Many organizations in Milwaukee assist returned citizens so that their chances of succeeding in the workplace and at home are improved. For example, Community Warehouse’s Partners in Hope division, though relatively new, is showing great results, and their job board is filled with offers from local employers seeking new hires. “We walk with them—that’s transformative,” CEO Nick Ringger says of the relationships they build with the program’s participants.

Staff begin building relationships with individuals while they are incarcerated and for 18 months after their release, with mentoring, peer support, job-search skills and soft skills development. Ringger says 100% of participants have found work with just a 10% recidivism rate, below the Wisconsin average of 30%. Ringger says the participants are highly motivated to succeed. “Rather than looking at them as a negative and a drain on society, employers are realizing that with some work, they can be a huge asset,” he says. “They’re starting to get that picture. We’ve got working-age men and women who wouldn’t get a single look, but now people realize that in many ways, they are better employees because they understand what it is to have a second chance.”

Also reducing the risk of hiring a returned citizen is the U.S. Labor Department’s Fidelity Bonds offered through the Federal Bonding Program (bonds4jobs.com) for at-risk or hard-to-place job seekers, including returned citizens. These bonds protect the employer against losses caused by the fraudulent or dishonest acts of the bonded employee and are offered at no cost to the employer.

The bonds lessen the risk employers may feel if they want to hire someone who has a less-than squeaky-clean background. But, again, that risk is a perception, not reality. According to the Department of Labor, just 1% of these bonds have resulted in a claim. In other words, there’s a 1% risk that a bonded employee with a criminal background will steal, embezzle or commit forgery on the job—in contrast to the hesitation that an employer may have when deciding to hire a returned citizen.

We, at the Milwaukee Reentry Council, invite business owners, managers and HR professionals to the Southeast Wisconsin Reentry Employer Networking Expo to meet with agencies that can provide qualified candidates and learn about the benefits of hiring returned citizens. Employers are invited to stop by the expo anytime from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 24, at the Mary Mother of the Church Pastoral Center, 3501 S. Lake Drive (the former Cousins Center). Go to reentryexpo.eventbrite.com for details and to RSVP. Comment at shepherdexpress.com. n

NEWS&VIEWS::POLL

You Don’t Think Republicans Will Back Gun Reform Measures

Last week, we asked you if you thought Wisconsin Republican legislators would support some of the sensible, modest gun regulations that have recently been proposed by Gov. Tony Evers? You said: n Yes: 20% n No: 80%

What Do You Say?

While most Republican U.S. senators are trying to duck the Donald Trump/Ukraine scandal—and a few courteous ones are actually critical of the president— Wisconsin’s Ron Johnson has been doubling-down in defense of Trump. In recent TV interviews, Johnson has promoted the idea that Russia did nothing wrong in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and it was actually Ukraine that intervened in support of Hillary Clinton.

Do you agree with Sen. Ron Johnson? n Yes n No Vote online at shepherdexpress.com. We’ll publish the results of this poll in next week’s issue.

::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.

ames Dean and Linda Lee, co-founders of the nonprofit Generations Against Bullying (GAB), along with one of their volunteers, Martha SanchezHernandez, had found success using cannabidiol (CBD) to treat painful conditions. The trio knew they could also help others searching for quality CBD products and accurate information about the cannabis plant, dosages, ways to take CBD, ingredients and more. They opened Pure Golden Botanicals (9100 W. National Ave.) in March.

Dean had worked in the technical water treatment industry for more than 30 years, and he was also a pharmaceutical sales rep for a decade, even though he had a strong interest in natural health remedies. He built up a small library from his extensive research into cannabinoids and how they affect the body, which he frequently consults to assist customers. He notes that operating a CBD retail store fits well with his scientific background, and it echoes the work they do at GAB—helping to improve people’s lives.

6$*,"#.*7%8*,'%,9$%3+:%4"0.*$00

“We wanted to open a store because our research showed this in an exploding industry and there’s a lot of accurate and also false information out there,” Dean says. “We wanted to differentiate ourselves by having a store where people could come in and, first and foremost, get accurate information about what CBD is all about.”

They also wanted to offer premium products at competitive prices. Dean notes there’s a lot of CBD oil out there with unknown origins. “We wanted to carry products organically grown, with no GMOs and produced here in the United States,” he emphasizes.

Their suppliers provide third-party lab testing that proves what is listed on the bottle is actually in the products.

They carry CBD tinctures, capsules, gummies, pain salves and cosmetics. They partner with U.S. farms to provide a Pure Golden Botanicals brand of tincture, and they also carry products by cbdMD and Arise. They have a water-soluble tincture that can be mixed into juice or other beverages for quicker absorption. They also carry chewing gum, honey sticks, coffee, pet products and prerolls.

There’s also a cosmetics line of bath bombs, mud masks, moisturizers and creams for smoothing wrinkles and reviving skin tone and appearance. “CBD oil and its cannabinoids are great skin healers,” Dean remarks.

Their products are either full- or broad-spectrum CBD. Full-spectrum products contain all the cannabinoids of the hemp bud—and Dean points out that CBD comes from the bud, not the stalks or leaves. Full-spectrum CBD products contain a trace of THC under the legal limit of 0.3%. “All the cannabinoids work better together than any of them alone. It’s called the entourage effect,” he explains.

Broad-spectrum CBD products have the THC removed but still contain the other cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids to provide that entourage effect, making it ideal for people concerned about testing positive for THC. Dean says they ask CBD companies for samples first, so they can try products before putting them on their shelves.

Like many CBD retailers, Dean says they’ve had issues with banks and merchant processing. He notes the banking industry hasn’t yet caught up with the explosion of CBD businesses, and there’s still much confusion about hemp versus marijuana and the different strains of the cannabis sativa plant.

Dean also observes how many people are rushing into the hemp business. “I think there’s going to eventually be a shakeout, and the people offering high-quality products and accurate information will stick around,” he says. “My fear is that you have too many inferior products sold by people who don’t know how to help you, and people will try those and say CBD didn’t work. You need to look at the label and know exactly what you’re getting.”

Unique Offerings at Villa’s Mexican Restaurant

%::BY JAMIE LEE RAKE

What sets Villa’s Mexican Restaurant (2522 W. Greenfield Ave.) apart from many other Mexican eateries in the area? For one thing, champurrado is served there. The drink, which is like a thicker, more complexly flavored hot chocolate, is a rare find in Milwaukee. Villa’s iteration includes cinnamon, vanilla and, perhaps, a touch of anise alongside a base of sweetened cocoa and fine, lime-treated, ground corn. Champurrado may be a fine choice to accompany what may be Villa’s signature dish and another rarity in town, tlayuda. Consider it a tostada on steroids. A supersized tortilla is fried to bubbling crispiness, slathered with beans and lettuce and before being folded over topped with meat or another filling or two. It may have been a bit high maintenance of me to order a tlayuda filled with cactus and mushroom, but the request was gladly carried out with no upcharge! At least one other Milwaukee Mexican place serves tlayudas flat, but the way Villa’s presents theirs, like a humongous taco, is appealing.

A Play With ‘Great Staying Power Because It Has a Lot to Say’

Cast of ‘Who’s Afraid of Virgina Woolf’ PHOTO BY TOM CARR

‘WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF’ IN THE BRUMDER MANSION ::BY JOHN SCHNEIDER

t would have been spring of 1968 when playwright Edward Albee, then 40 years old, spoke at my college in De Pere, Wis., stumping for antiwar Democratic presidential candidate Eugene McCarthy. As president of the St. Norbert’s College Players, I was invited to a small after-party with faculty and administration. I sat on the floor at Albee’s feet, in love and speechless.

Afterwards, I couldn’t sleep. When dawn broke, I walked five miles to his motel to see him off to the airport, surprising him. I asked him if he thought I should quit school then and there and move to New York to learn his new kind of theater. He was gentle.

“Finish college,” he told me, “then decide. If you come, look me up, and I’ll help.”

Albee’s great first full-length play, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, which premiered in 1961, had already changed my life. My friends and I would read it aloud, trading roles with no thought to gender, laughing like crazy and marveling. Was any play as funny, as shocking, as subversive and as haunting? Albee’s early plays were my first taste of a fledgling American avant-garde. I didn’t want to do traditional theater anymore, I wanted to do that.

Actually, I doubt that any theater artist of my generation escaped his influence.

His plays had an international impact; they’re embedded in the fabric of Western culture now. Mike Nichols’ film of Virginia Woolf, with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, certainly played a role in that, but it’s just one interpretation, and it can’t match the experience of seeing George and Martha and Honey and Nick play their life-changing games live.

In Milwaukee Entertainment Group’s new production of Virginia Woolf, opening Friday, Oct. 18, in the beautiful Brumder Mansion’s small basement theater, you’ll be within arms’ reach.

20 | O C T O B E R 1 0 , 2 0 1 9

The director, Mark Neufang, 30 years my junior, also discovered the play in college. “I was an actor in high school,” he tells me, “and it was an actor’s dream. The roles are so complex and so thoroughly fleshed out, so deeply psychological and very daunting in many regards. The complexities of the relationship between George and Martha are something to dig into and question. What exactly is going on here? I’ve seen a couple of productions, including the Broadway revival and the national touring production, and each time it’s fresh, even though I know it so well.

“I think that, when he wrote it, there were many changing attitudes in the country,” Neufang continues. “There were a lot of expectations regarding marriage and children that were products of the 1950s: Husband goes to work, wife stays home, has kids, they have this happy family. Albee smashed that whole concept. That’s why the play was so controversial in its time. It was up for the Pulitzer Prize in drama briefly, then they snatched it away, because they thought it wasn’t the right play to give an award to. They didn’t even give an award at all that year. And it’s had this great staying power because it has a lot to say. There’s the ‘truth-versusillusion’ theme and the ‘American Dream’ theme.”

Neufang was an actor, director and board member with the Milwaukee LGBTQ theater company, Theatrical Tendencies. When I mention Albee’s path-setting open homosexuality, he replies, “I’m glad you brought that up. I’ve been with my partner for 10 years. We’re not married, but it’s fascinating being gay and handling this story and looking at this marriage and dissecting it. Albee’s observations of married life are very intriguing; not just with George and Martha, but also with Honey and Nick’s relationMilwaukee ship—the dynamics of that. The Entertainment cast and I have talked about this many times. Who’s going to Group survive? We think George and Who’s Afraid of Martha will be fine, but Nick Virgina Woolf and Honey are a mess; after this Oct. 18 - Nov. 2 evening, everything will change Brumder Mansion for them.”

Neufang pitched the play to Milwaukee Entertainment Group producers Amanda Hull and Tom Marks two years ago. This proved to be the moment for it, as Hull explains.

“Our season is called ‘Fortitude;’ it’s all about women overcoming the odds in many ways. We are doing people’s passion projects. We’ve done many local playwrights. We do at least one original play every year; this year, it’s two: JJ Gatesman’s The Beauty of Psyche and Bill Jackson’s Table for Three.”

The season closes with The Diary of Anne Frank, and Hull will direct a Sherlock Holmes adventure for the holidays.

“Tom and I hold ourselves to high standards,” Hull continues. “Audiences get to come to this beautiful Victorian mansion, then down to a subterranean theater…”

Marks continues, “…which we make into another world…”

Hull finishes, “…and see a brand new play or a reimagined version of something they thought they knew but didn’t know this way.”

White Rabbit, Red Rabbit

For a limited time, the Milwaukee Rep will put its own spin on this acclaimed piece of one-person experimental theater. White Rabbit, Red Rabbit, by Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour, will begin with a single sealed script and one actor. There will be no set, no rehearsal and no director. This was originally meant to highlight Soleimanpour’s confinement to his country after refusing to take part in mandatory military service.

Each of The Rep’s four performances will have a different actor. The familiar Milwaukee thespians include Di’Monte Henning, Michael Doherty, James Pickering and Laura Gordon. As The Rep’s website says, “The play stays the same, but the production changes drastically each night.” (Max Mitchelson) Oct. 12 and 26 and Nov. 9 and 30 at Saint Kate–The Arts Hotel, 139 E.

BY AN AWARD FROM

MEDIA PARTNERS:

Haydn, Timo Andres, Dvořák

Musicians Stefanie Jacob (pianist), Margot Schwartz (violinist and violist) and Scott Tisdel (cellist) of the Prometheus Trio open their 2019-’20 season by mixing some classics by Joseph Haydn and Antonín Dvořák with a contemporary classical piece by Timo Andres (written only in the last year).

The Haydn piece, yet to be announced, will be followed by Andres’ Piano Trio.

According to his website, Piano Trio is “so obsessed with its own material [and rigid structure] that it seemed to demand the generic title.” The performance will conclude with Dvořák’s “Trio in F minor, Op. 65.” (M.M.) Oct. 14-15 at Helen Bader Recital Hall, 2419 E. Kenwood Boulevard. For tickets, call 414-276-5760 or visit wcmusic.org.

TOM UTTECH ‘INTO THE WOODS’ "#$%&'(#)*(+#,-.(./)0'&,'( #$(1%2'%+(/3(4-2./)2-)(5&$

!

::BY SHANE MCADAMS

f a picture is worth a thousand words, Tom Uttech has a lot to say in his comprehensive retrospective of paintings, photographs and drawings at the Museum of Wisconsin Art (MOWA) opening Saturday, Oct. 12. “Into the Woods” features scores of works reaching back to his college days at Milwaukee’s Layton School of Art in the mid-1960s and extending through his “Migration Paintings” of recent years. The exhibition is both the largestever mounted by MOWA and of Uttech’s work to date.

In its breadth and depth, it presents Uttech’s vision with naturalistic grounding, magical expansiveness and psychological complexity.

Uttech is a man of well-chosen words. Tall, sturdy and every bit as composed as his artwork, he embodies the reserved and purposeful figure of the intrepid pioneers that settled the Northern Great Lakes region centuries ago. Uttech grew up in the small town of Merrill in Wisconsin’s North Woods amidst the type of “wilderness” advocated for by the conservationist Aldo Leopold. That practical commitment to the landscape registered early and never faded from Uttech’s mind, and this cultural inheritance penetrates deeply into his practice—one in which directed action and productivity take precedence over gratuitous flourishes and extraneous description.

A Diligent Observer From the handmade frames of his paintings to the hundreds of documentary photographs in this show, Uttech appears as a quietly diligent observer and creator. That’s not to say he’s not a willing conversationalist, because I’ve had many wonderful tête-à-têtes with him about everything from art to spaceships. But when it comes to his own paintings, he’s happy to let them speak for themselves. Uttech might be the best example of that legendary quote by Barnett Newman that “art theory is to artists what ornithology is to birds.”

Which is funny, because Uttech is one of the few artists who might be accused of being an ornithologist on the side, his later works teeming with migrating geese, owls, blackbirds and blue jays, all painted with an abiding attention to zoological detail. However, despite an obvious care for particulars about the flora, fauna and terra in his subject matter, his artistic enterprise has always transcended the purely scientific. Nature, in fact, can sometimes seem a red herring in his paintings. All that taxonomic detail and natural fidelity tends to grip viewers’ attention only moments before the magical and psychological elements show up on the scene.

One of my favorite works by Uttech (which is included in the show) is a painting called Midsummer Night’s Dream. It’s a dark composition of a musk ox interacting with a deer-headed, human-bodied spirit. Given the naturalistic perspective and enveloping, midnight-blue atmosphere, one might momentarily miss the surrealistic vision of an ox with its tongue extended onto the belly of the mysterious female figure. I’ve always seen it as an animistic take on Michelangelo’s God and Adam, but whether or not that interpretation flies, it’s nevertheless a thoroughly 24 | O C T O B E R 1 0 , 2 0 1 9

gripping and ambiguous collision between our world and those beyond.

This merging of natural and supernatural oppositions is a hallmark of Uttech’s art. The magical elements were more explicit early on, but he eventually chose to blend nature and super-nature into a hauntingly potent, unified cosmos. As a result, his later content—from granite boulders to lichen-covered trees to brown bears—is shaped totally by the invisible hand of the spiritual dimension. In other words, everything has a little magic in it rather than a few things having a lot.

Private Yet Voyeuristic Yet another duality skulks furtively among the fallen trees and loamy forest floors, and that’s the complicated relationship between the artist and himself. It’s actually more like a triangle: the viewer looking at Uttech, looking at himself, looking back at the viewer. Uttech’s work is deceptively private and voyeuristic at first, but there’s a creeping sensation that the content is aware of our presence. The compositional devices of reflection and frontality build a story hidden by the thatches and brambles of his content. With patience, Uttech’s serene reflections read as Rorschach-like stand-ins for the reflection and examination undertaken by the artist himself.

Likewise, the many instances of eyes in his work over the years—on trees, rocks, bears and wolves—seem to function as a kind of providential lens, looking outward and inward simultaneously. These gazes ultimately break the fourth wall in his work and take it from sublime, majestic expanse to the more contracted, artificial setting of a stage. So, despite the superficial realism, the artist’s consciousness becomes ever more palpable as we progress into and through his work.

The abiding consistency of vision through five decades of production might be the most admirable quality in Uttech’s work. His practice, of course, evolves over the years, but only according to some burning internal narrative revealed in the work. His practice never bends to externalities that might date it or break that inner continuity. A Tom Uttech in 1980 is a Tom Uttech in 2019, which is a huge triumph in an age where entire art practices are measured on social media in seasons and months.

To speak with a singular artistic voice for 50 years is as hard to imagine now as a baseball pitcher winning 30 games in a season, an American Congress working cooperatively or a completely virgin wilderness. One never knows what they’re seeing is the last of his kind or the end of an era; Uttech might very well represent both cases.

So, it might behoove you to go see what five decades of determined vision looks like at MOWA—before its gone. ( top ) Tom Uttech, Nin Gassinsibingwe, Oil on canvas, 2019, ACQUISITION OF THE ART BALL 2019, MUSEUM OF WISCONSIN ART

[ FILM CLIPS ] The Addams Family PG Originally intended to be a Tim Burton vehicle, this animated version of the family that invented goth is imaginative and entertaining. After moving to New Jersey, The Addams’ lifestyle comes under scrutiny. Different in both appearance and behavior, the family is targeted by a scheming reality TV host (voice of Allison Janney), who mobilizes the town against them. It is against this backdrop that a number of eccentric Addams’ relatives arrive for a family reunion.

Filmmakers Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon stay true to the recurring characters created by Charles Addams. Likewise, the action takes a back seat to the cheeky comedy that frequently accompanies such reboots. (Lisa Miller)

Gemini Man PG-13 Will Smith portrays Henry Brogan, a 50-year-old assassin whose retirement plans must wait after another assassin arrives to kill him. Realizing the killer makes all the moves used by Brogan himself, the aging hitman is nevertheless surprised to learn that the killer is Brogan’s 25-yearold clone. Not wanting to kill the younger him, Brogan does all he can to persuade Junior to join Brogan in taking down the clone’s maker. Viewers applaud the CGI Smith minus 25-years, ‘Joker’

Twice a year, Kuntz hosts a Movie Collectible Show, featuring dealers from the Midwest peddling movie posters, press kits, stills, lobby cards, DVDs and assorted movie industry memorabilia. (David Luhrssen) 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 13, at Burnham Bowl Hall, 6016 W. Burnham St. Admission is $3.

[ HOME MOVIES / NOW STREAMING ] n Stephen King’s Storm of the Century Small town Maine is Stephen King’s Transylvania and the white picket fences can’t hold evil at bay. As the winds of a paralyzing winter storm begin to blow, a stranger carrying a curious walking stick—and knowledge of everyone’s secrets—materializes on a Maine island and begins a terror spree with the brisk superficiality of made-for-TV movies. How will the townies stop this smug-faced personification of pure evil? The DVD release includes audio commentary by King.

n And Soon the Darkness In the post-1960s hangover, when peace, love and understanding curdled into distrust, a spate of B movies took the temperature of anxiety and found a fever. Think Texas Chainsaw Massacre in America or this 1970 British flick about two London girls whose bicycling vacation in rural France takes a wrong turn.

Is the “dishy” moped-riding guy a serial psycho killer ready to strike again or are the cretinous country bumpkins the ones to look out for?

n Teddy Pendergrass: If You Don’t Know Me Despite the high-gloss production of his platinum hits, Teddy Pendergrass couldn’t entirely hide the grit in the back of his voice. He learned to sing and move in a storefront church in a Philadelphia (“Filthadelphia” he called it) neighborhood infested with violent gangs. Life wasn’t much different once he became a star, this documentary suggests. As one friend put it, the music business was “thug-life” filled with dangerous men, dangerous drugs and dirty deals.

n “Robin Williams Comic Genius” It was shocking in 1978: sex, drugs and bad language on TV! HBO’s “Off the Wall” was a manic performance by Robin Williams before a live audience. It’s the first of five HBO specials culminating with 2009’s ironically titled “Weapons of Self-Destruction” on this DVD collection. Early performances intentionally crossed many lines, yet a bit of Bob Hope can be discerned in Williams’ DNA as he asks, “Have I gone too far into the Land of Strangeness?”

the immigration debate is at the forefront of political divisiveness, a new book by NPR tech correspondent Aarti Namdev Shahani, Here We Are: American Dreams, American Nightmares, explores the compelling questions of citizenship by unraveling the complicated story of one family’s immigrant narrative.

Like many immigration stories, Shahani’s present-day story is filled with both tragedy and hope. Born to Indian parents living in Casablanca, Shahani came to the United States as a 6-year-old in the early 1980s.

Her family settled in Flushing, Queens, N.Y., and her father opened a small business selling electronics, but after he was accused of having dealings with a notorious Colombian drug cartel, their entire family became entangled in the U.S. legal system. In her memoir, Here We Are, Shahani exposes the government’s poor treatment of immigrants and the racism often present in the criminal justice system. Through her passionate, witty and wise writing, she demonstrates how the aftereffects of 9/11 compounded her family’s already difficult situation and proves that bureaucratic systems do not always serve those they are intended to protect.

Shahani spent years working on her father’s defense and describes how, as a young adult, she founded a nonprofit to help other immigrant families find their way to freedom. Her debut book is a textured portrait of American immigration as well as a love letter to her father.

Aarti Namdev Shahani will converse with Joy Powers, producer of WUWM’s Lake Effect, at Milwaukee Public Library’s Centennial Hall on Sunday, October 13, at 2 p.m.

s sibling rivalries go, few were as tempestuous as Phil and Don Everly, the close harmony singing brothers from Kentucky whose early songs helped define rock ’n’ roll. Some of their hits were co-written

by Milwaukee native Felice Bryant with her husband Boudleaux. In 1973, Don famously said “The Everly Brothers died 10 years ago.” He finished the show alone when Phil smashed his guitar and left the stage. Then, in 1983, the Everlys reunited for a concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

Waukesha’s Johnny Rodgers is teaming up with Lee Lessack to recreate that concert. Off the Cuff asked him some questions.

Is the show about impersonating the Everly Brothers?

Our show is more about recreating that magical night at the Royal Albert Hall when they had their 1983 reunion. It is more about the music than it is about portraying them as characters. We discuss the relationship, but it is not as if one of us is portraying each of the brothers. It is not a play.

Were you a fan of the Everly Brothers before you got involved with this project?

Yes, but my appreciation for them has deepened since we get to perform the music. It has been a joy to get to revisit some of the music that defined a generation and was influential on almost every great artist since then.

How did the idea for the Royal Albert Hall Concert come about?

We started with a concert called Live in Central Park [Revisited]: Simon and Garfunkel and we toured with that for quite a few years and were looking for another classic night of entertainment, one that had historical significance.

This just seemed to be the right fit and worth celebrating. In fact, Simon and Garfunkel do a version of the Everlys’ “Wake Up, Little Susie” in the Central Park Concert. Isn’t it funny that two groups that had such amazing harmonies both had turbulent times and had a breakup?

SHEPHERD EXPRESS

Can you relate to that tension in any way?

I have siblings, a brother and a sister. And being in a band is in many ways like a family.

I can’t imagine how much more difficult and personal it must be to have those people be your direct family. It is a unique relationship and clearly a very challenging one.

I worked with Liza Minnelli for over a decade as her pianist and guest vocalist. I went to a dance class with her and she said, “I had no idea you could dance!” So, she pulled me off the piano for her Broadway show which was a tribute to Kay Thompson and the Williams Brothers—so there seems to be a pattern in my gigs!

I’ve written about the subject before. In a city deemed the most segregated in the country, it’s an unfortunate yet natural reality that the same racial divide exists within Milwaukee’s LGBTQ community. And, while symbolic efforts to change the status quo—like adding the black and brown stripes to the rainbow color crosswalk at Cathedral Square—are welcomed, a real solution remains elusive.

So, last week, it was not surprising when social media lit up with accusations of racism against the city’s LGBTQ dance club and drag show venue, LaCage Niteclub. Leading the charge was Broderick “Montell Infiniti Ross” Pearson, 42, a local HIV/AIDS awareness activist and a well-known and respected performer and promoter in the national drag and pageant scene. According to Pearson, club staff member Tommy Franecki was fired for booking Pearson and his black drag show, “Shade.” A recording of the club owner speaking with the staff member included a racially charged reference to Pearson, ')"($).0(5*3(')"(543&"*,"(&'(3+"07 Pearson’s social media announcement ignited a fire storm.

The affair appeared to be mired in accusation and denial. But then, having heard the recording, a third-party statement from the nonprofit organization Diverse & Resilient confirmed the “blatantly racist” comment directed at Pearson and LGBTQ people of color. Then, various local TV news outlets aired the recording during segments covering the story. It was damning. Many, including the Democratic Party of Milwaukee County, voiced their support. Meanwhile, calls for a boycott ensued and, Saturday night, a protest took place outside the premises with dozens demanding that the owner “go.”

Still, to be fair, there could be a degree of honesty in the club owner’s belief that he doesn’t discriminate. The “those people” defense could, in fact, refer to bar-goers who don’t buy drinks and may be potential troublemakers. But here, they just happen to be people of color. One has to wonder how many cute young white boys at LaCage can’t afford pricey cocktails but whose presence is indulged, perhaps even welcomed, as part of the club’s ambiance.

Passive racism is still racism. It’s insidious and has no place in our LGBTQ community.

Thank you, Broderick “Montell Infiniti Ross” Pearson for calling it out. !"##$%&'(&')*$+*$,$-+.$))/0"#/'n

“In ‘Can I Go On,’ by the time we get to the chorus, everyone is singing together—even that kind of small act of solidarity is really important. It makes a person feel heard and seen,” Tucker mentions. “That simple act of kindness and compassion truly is a kind of heroism that can counteract the small-mindedness that we’re up against right now.”

“Love,” an homage to friendship, also exemplifies how the band has consistently stayed true to their earliest practices and ideologies—their dedication to tackling sexist social hierarchies and giving women a sense of agency and autonomy over their own bodies, demanding to be seen and heard, along with the power of kinship and community, an especially significant takeaway for much of the band’s queer fanbase.

ACH FALL FOR 10 YEARS, FOLKSINGER-EDUCATOR LIL’ REV HAS ORGANIZED A FESTIVAL IN MILWAUKEE to honor one of the humblest of stringed instruments. This year’s Great Lakes Ukulele Gathering will bring national and local performers together with workshops and booths displaying the work of ukulele-makers from around the Midwest.

The ukulele was born in Hawaii from a 19th-century marriage of Portuguese luthiers with native materials and melodies. The 1915 World Fair held in San Francisco, the Panama-Pacific Exposition, brought the instrument to the American mainland where it soon became trendy. Since then, its pop culture presence has waned and waxed; in the ’60s, Tiny Tim endowed the instrument with camp connotations. But what interested Rev and a nucleus of ukulele advocates as far back as the ’90s was its every-person association. It’s an unpretentious instrument: relatively easy to learn but with a wide expressive scope in trained hands.

“It’s very grassroots,” Rev says of the ukulele revival and the proliferation of clubs dedicated to the instrument. “It’s an organic way of using music to bring people together.”

Although he’s adverse to assuming too much credit, Rev was among the Johnny Appleseeds spreading the good news about the ukulele through year-by-year, coast-to-coast tours of music stores, folk festivals, cultural centers and living rooms. He has penned a dozen instruction books on the instrument for Hal Leonard, the Great Lakes world’s largest music publisher. Some have been transUkulele lated into French and Spanish.

“It’s encouraging so many people of all ages to pick up Gathering an instrument and play music—from young hipsters to Anodyne Coffee seniors,” Rev says of the ukulele revival. “It’s been popping Roasting Co up in recordings by everyone from Taylor Swift to Train.”

Sunday, Oct. 13, This year’s Ukulele Gathering has a Hawaiian theme 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. honoring the instrument’s origins.

THURSDAY, OCT. 10 Noche De Ronda @ The Jazz Estate, 8 p.m.

Over the last 15 years, Robert Figueroa has entertained audiences across the Midwest as the singer-songwriter for the Naborí Salsa Orchestra. Noche De Ronda, Figueroa’s latest project, is a tribute to the bolero, the ballads which for many years were an integral part of the salsa phenomenon and the music that preceded it. Figueroa and his group will offer rare night bolero and son classics.

SATURDAY, OCT. 12

Matt Wilson and his Orchestra @ Shank Hall, 8 p.m.

Matt Wilson had me hooked when his psychedelic-pop three-piece Trip Shakespeare played at Green Bay in the late ’80s. The band’s frequent stops in Milwaukee found Trip Shakespeare levitating long-gone cafés with names like Odd Rock and Toad. Their vocal harmonies were orchestral and their musical improvisations telepathic. The band’s shot at the brass ring came when they signed to A&M Records, but by 1992, Trip Shakespeare were done. While two members, John Munson and Matt’s brother Dan found success with Semisonic, Matt continued to play music as well, notably with The Twilight Hours and The New Standards. Matt Wilson stops in Milwaukee with an orchestra that includes banjo and harp.

Tweed featuring Gervis Myles @ Oconomowoc Arts Center, 7 p.m.

Music is evolution. Tweed Funk front man Joseph “Smokey” Holman died in October of 2017. The band had released four CDs up to that point. In 2018, Gervis Myles recorded a fantastic retro-soul 45. Now known as Tweed Featuring Gervis Myles, the band that boasts 6 WAMI awards is working on a new musical chapter.

Fourth Annual Beet Street Harvest Festival @ Cactus Club, Noon

The 2019 Bay View block party features music from Sarah Shook & The Disarmers (North Carolina), TRUE Skool Alumni, Retoro, Congo Gospel Music and DJ Dave Arnevik; a punk rock rummage; food and drink vendors; and this year, the Cactus Club will present films highlighting the intersection of music and film in Milwaukee.

Trashfest @ Kochanski’s Concertina Beer Hall, 8 p.m.

The 35th annual trashstravaganza lineup includes, but is not limited to, Nervis Virgins, Atheists & Airplanes, Sha Na Not, Prettiest Scar, Primitive Telegraph Service, Satan’s Li’l Helpers, Gone & Loco, The Unmentionables, and The Paulettes. This Milwaukee tradition of quality trash includes tributes, trainwrecks, homages and eulogies and is quarterbacked by Paul “Fly” Lawson. It urges fans and performers to not take themselves so damn seriously—at least for one night.

SUNDAY, OCT. 13

M.O.T.O. (Masters of the Obvious) @ High Dive, 9 p.m.

In the YouTube comments section for M.O.T.O.’s “Dance to the Radio” video, frontman Paul Caporino wrote, “Look at the shit-eating grin on that singer’s face—somebody punch him!”

M.O.T.O. have been around since 1981, and you can’t survive 38 years playing a blender-bender of “garage, ’70s punk rock and Brill Building-worthy pop” in the world of no-budget music without a sense of humor. As you might imagine, the band has undergone numerous lineup changes, but it has always functioned primarily as a platform for Caporino’s songwriting, a repertoire that includes hundreds of songs in a variety of genres.

Katie Dahl

Wildwood (LEAKY BOAT) On her fourth album, Katie Dahl remains an evocative chronicler of vignettes. As with her previous efforts, Wildwood bears the mark of her Door County surroundings without making her folk songs so specific that listeners outside the peninsula can’t relate to them. Though something of a mixed outing for its inclusion of a couple songs from her forthcoming second musical play, The Fisherman’s Daughters, the thematic unity threading through the album’s 11 selections is thoughtful gentleness to neighbors, nature, a mentor or a husband.

Dahl’s warm alto conveys contentedness throughout a collection that maintains a slow to medium tempo without ever dragging. Wisps of steel guitar, banjo and percussion accent her own six strings, but all serve her often impressionistic musical stories. Dahl has represented Wisconsin folk close as Chicago and far away as Mali. Wildwood is another testament to the state’s reputation being in good musical hands.

—Jamie Lee Rake

Catelyn Picco

Strong and Courageous Taylor Swift may have bid country radio goodbye a few years ago, but Waukesha’s Catelyn Picco displays potential for filling Swift’s spot for a youthful feminine perspective in the genre she has abandoned. Picco’s fivesong debut, Strong and Courageous, may possess more twang from steel guitar and banjo than any female act emanating from Nashville nowadays, but Picco’s facility with other styles sounds organic without the calculation of focus-group polling and call-out research.

Joining Willie Nelson, the Bellamy Brothers and a few other country artists before her, she effectively incorporates a reggae beat for her EP’s title track; an adaptation of a four-on-the-floor disco pulse energizes another number. The latter shouldn’t surprise anyone who has seen her cover club-inclined artists such as country-marketed Thomas Rhett. A reflexive, lyrical turn exploring a case of writer’s block may also belie some indierock influence, as may the somewhat rough-hewn production throughout Strong and Courageous. Or it may indicate her fledgling status and readiness for some sonic tweaking that can further nurture her artistry.

Date: 10/10/19

::FREEWILLASTROLOGY ::BY ROB BREZSNY LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I hope you are embarking on a vigorous new phase of self-redefinition. I trust you are excited about shedding old ways of thinking about yourself and eager to revise and re-imagine the plot of your life story. As you do, keep in mind this helpful counsel from physicist Richard Feynman: “You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be. It’s their mistake, not my failing.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ve probably heard the saying, “Genius is 99 percent perspiration and one percent inspiration.” It’s often attributed to inventor Thomas Edison.

Sixteenth-century artist Michelangelo expressed a similar idea. “If you knew how much labor went into it, you would not call it genius,” he said about one of his masterpieces. I’m guessing that you Scorpios have been in a phase when these descriptions are highly apropos. The work you’ve been doing may look productive and interesting and heroic to the casual observer, and maybe only you know how arduous and exacting it has been. So now what do you do? I say it’s time to enjoy the fruits of your efforts. Celebrate! Give yourself a thrilling gift.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you,” declared astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. If that’s even a little bit true, I bet you won’t believe it in the coming weeks. According to my analysis, the universe will make a great deal of sense to you—at times even exquisite, beautiful, breathtaking sense. Life will be in a revelatory and articulate mood. The evocative clues coming your way about the nature of reality could tempt you to believe that there is indeed a coherent plan and meaning to your personal destiny.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In 2005, Facebook was a start-up company barely on the map of the internet. Its president asked graffiti artist David Choe to paint murals on the walls of its headquarters. Choe asked for $60,000, but the president convinced him to be paid with Facebook stock instead. Years later, when Facebook went public, Choe became a multi-millionaire. I suspect that in the coming months you will be faced with choices that are less spectacular than that, Capricorn, but similar and important. My conclusion: Be willing to consider smart gambles when projects are germinating.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Experiment is the sole source of truth,” wrote philosopher and polymath Henri Poincaré. “It alone can teach us something new; it alone can give us certainty.” He wasn’t merely referring to the kinds of experiments that scientists conduct in laboratories. He was talking about the probes and explorations we can and should carry out in the course of our daily lives. I mention this, Aquarius, because the coming days will be prime time for you to do just that: ask provocative questions, initiate novel adventures, and incite fun learning experiences.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In my opinion, Piscean singer, poet and actor Saul Williams produces high-quality art. So, he has earned a right to critique mediocre art. In speaking about movies and TV shows that are hard to enjoy unless we dumb ourselves down, he says that “we have more guilty pleasure than actual f------ pleasure.”

Your assignment in the coming weeks, Pisces, is to cut back on your “guilty pleasures”—the entertainment, art and socializing that brings meager returns—as you increase and upgrade your actual f------ pleasure.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Love is when you meet someone who tells you something new about yourself,” wrote poet André Breton. I think that’s an excellent principle to put at the top of your priority list in the coming weeks, Aries. To be in maximum alignment with cosmic rhythms, you should seek input from allies who’ll offer insights about you that are outside your current conceptions of yourself. You might even be daring enough to place yourself in the paths of strangers, acquaintances, animals and teachers who can provide novel reflections. There’s just one caveat: Stay away from people who might be inclined to fling negative feedback.

SHEPHERD EXPRESS

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Constantine P. Cavafy’s poem “Waiting for the Barbarians” imagines the imminent arrival of an unpredictable agent of chaos. “The barbarians are coming today,” declares the narrator. Everyone in town is uneasy. People’s routines are in disarray. Faces look worried. What’s going to happen? But the poem has a surprise ending. “It is night, and the barbarians haven’t come,” reports the narrator. “Some people have arrived from the frontier and say that there aren’t any more barbarians.” I propose that we use this scene as a metaphor for your life right now, Taurus. It’s quite possible that the perceived threat isn’t really a threat.

So, here’s my question, taken from near the end of the poem: “What are we going to do now without the barbarians?”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Some folklorists prefer the term “wonder tales” rather than “fairy tales.” Indeed, many such stories are filled with marvelous events that feature magical transformations, talking animals and mythical creatures like elves and dragons and unicorns. I bring this up, Gemini, because I want to encourage you to read some wonder tales. Hopefully, as you do, you’ll be inspired to re-imagine your life as a wonder tale; you’ll reframe the events of the “real world” around you as being elements in a richly entertaining wonder tale.

Why do I recommend this? Because wonder tales are like waking dreams that reveal the wishes and curiosities and fascinations of your deep psyche. And I think you will benefit profoundly in the coming weeks from consciously tuning in to those wishes and curiosities and fascinations.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I suspect that in the coming days you’ll be able to see into everyone’s souls more vividly than usual.

You’ll have a special talent for piercing through the outer trappings of their personalities so as to gaze at the essence beneath. It’s as if your eyes will be blessed by an enhancement that enables you to discern what’s often hidden. This upgrade in your perception may at times be unsettling. For some of the people you behold, the difference between how they present themselves and who they actually are will be dramatic. But for the most part, penetrating to the depths should be fun, enriching, even healing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “This heart is rusty,” writes poet Gabriel Gadfly. “It creaks, it clanks, it crashes and rattles and bangs.”Why is his heart in such a state? Because he has been separated from a person he loves. And so he’s out of practice in doing the little things, the caring gestures and tender words, that a lover does to keep the heart welloiled. It’s my observation that most of us go through rusty-heart phases like this even when we are living in close proximity to an intimate ally. We neglect to practice the art of bestowing affectionate attention and low-key adoration. We forget how important it is for our own welfare that we continually refresh and reinvigorate our heart intelligence. These are good meditations for you right now, Leo. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “All the effort in the world won’t matter if you’re not inspired,” writes novelist Chuck Palahniuk. I agree! And that’s a key meditation for you right now.

Your assignment is to enhance and upgrade the inspiration you feel about the activities that are most important to you—the work and the play that give you the sense you’re living a meaningful life. So how do you boost your excitement and motivation for those essential actions you do on a regular basis? Here’s a good place to begin: visualize in exuberant detail all the reasons you started doing them in the first place.

Homework: I discuss some of my ideas about astrology in the article published here: https://alibi.com/ feature/41461/Sign-Language.html.

::NEWS OF THE WEIRD ::BY THE EDITORS OF ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Vegan for President?

Maybe Not

T

here’s so much to unpack about Hansel DeBartolo III, a 37-year-old from West Hollywood, Calif., that we scarcely know where to begin. After changing his name to “Sexy Vegan” three years ago, he had the new handle tattooed on his forehead and chest. He’s an “Instagram sensation” and an independent 2020 presidential candidate according to his IMDb profile.

But most recently, Mr. Vegan’s been a resident of the Twin Towers Correctional Facility, reported the Los Angeles Times, following his arrest on Thursday, Sept. 26, on charges of sexual abuse of his dog, which authorities say he captured on video and posted on social media. “I do get judged a lot for being different,” Vegan told Dr. Phil in 2017.

Elvis the Pelvis At New Lynn’s Peaches and Cream, a sex toy shop in suburban Auckland, New Zealand, staffer Kat Maher immediately noticed a strange customer on Monday, Sept. 23. “He was very energetic and erratic, going around the shop, talking a lot,” she told Stuff. Strangely, he also closely resembled Elvis Presley, with slicked-back black hair and sunglasses, although he was wearing a high-visibility orange vest. “He brought a sex toy called ‘Like a Virgin’ up to the counter, but his card was declined,” Maher said. When the purchase didn’t go through, the man grabbed the “fake vagina” toy (worth about $60) and ran out of the store.

Maher reported the theft to police, but fake Elvis has not been apprehended. She also noted that the shop gets robbed about once a week: “It’s really frustrating when this sort of thing happens. So rude, and it ruins your day.”

Sportswear—100% Off! Sunday morning shoppers in central Auckland, New Zealand, got more than an eyeful on Sunday, Sept. 29, when, for several hours, pornography was broadcast on a large outdoor video screen at the Asics sportswear store. The X-rated scenes apparently continued for about nine hours—until staff arrived at the store around 10 a.m. and turned the screen off, the New Zealand Herald reported. “Some people were shocked, but others just stopped and

watched,” said security guard Dwayne Hinango. The store manager, who gave only “John” as his name, said the incident stemmed from a cybersecurity breach, and Asics apologized on its website and through email to its customers.

Revealing Billboard In Auburn Hills, Mich., a suburb of Detroit, motorists along an interstate got a free show late on Saturday, Sept. 28, after two people broke into a small building connected to an electronic billboard and uploaded pornography to the large sign. Auburn Hills police told WDIV that two hooded young men were captured on surveillance video entering the structure at 10:49 p.m. and staying about 15 minutes. Police started getting reports of the images around 11 p.m. “I was just looking up at it, and I was like, ‘Huh? Oh, wow. That’s porn!’“ said driver Chuck McMahon. Police are still looking for the hackers.

Horny in India Indian farmer Shyam Lal Yadav, 74, bumped the top of his head about five years ago, and shortly afterward, the bump started growing, becoming what doctors call a sebaceous horn. On Sept. 18, Metro News reported that Yadav underwent surgery to remove the “devil horn” at Bhagyoday Tirth Hospital in Sagar, India. The four-inch horn was made of keratin, the substance found in fingernails and hair, and neurosurgeons were able to remove it with a razor. “However, the underlying condition will still need to be treated,” explained Dr. Vishal Gajbhiye. A biopsy of the horn showed that it was benign, and a skin graft covers the spot where it grew.

Man Bites Dog—No, Really!

In Rio Rancho, N.M., officers were called to the Rio West mobile home park Thursday, Sept. 26, following reports of a violent altercation, the Albuquerque Journal reported. Chris Galvadon, authorities told the paper, had used an ax to assault a woman, causing “significant injury” to her hand. But as officers assisted the woman, Galvadon barricaded himself inside the home, and the SWAT team and New Mexico State Police were called in to help. Negotiations continued unsuccessfully for hours until K-9 officer Diesel was sent in. Diesel ended the standoff by biting and apprehending Galvadon, but not before Galvadon bit him back.

Rio Rancho Police Capt. Andrew Rodriguez said the bite didn’t break the skin, but Diesel will “be on antibiotics for a bit.” © 2019 ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

Tag along if you like, but you cover the first round.

Let’s get going.

Little Jimmy Iodine: All I’m saying is that a lot of experts think the piss-poor test scores this country’s young Einsteins rack up in school are on account of the flimsy diet the kids get in their feedbag these days.

Ernie: Anybody know what day it is?

Julius: And that’s because these experts refuse to allow all the facts to be in their pipe before they smoke it. I will tell you’s this: Kids throughout the ages have always had a mangy diet, what with all the junk food they like to chow down all the time; but still the Homo sapien race has yet to be shit-canned off the face of this planet to this day—and that’s a fact.

Emil: A-focking-men. Like that kid in history what’s-his-name—Oliver Copperfield, I’m thinking.

I saw this movie on him once and swear to god, this focking kid got nothing but gruel to eat. Morning, noon and night. Gruel. But still in the end, he turned out all right after all, ain’a?

Little Jimmy Iodine: Hey, Artie! Over here. Put a load on your keister.

Art: Hey gents, what do you hear, what do you know.

Emil: Come to think of it, what the fock is gruel, anyways?

Art: So you’s guys dream up some ideas for my TV ads yet?

Emil: But I’ll tell you’s, when I was a schoolboy my Ma made sure I ate like a regular Rockefeller, three, four times a day, day-in, day-out. I still focking flunked everything but I didn’t care ’cause I always had a good meal coming ’round the corner. So today, maybe I’m not Mr. Corporation Business Hotshot, but I’m no focking moron either, so big focking deal.

Ray: Hey Emil, let me buy you a drink but I need some change. You got two tens for a five?

Emil: Let me check. :(+2(3;! ?'! @5*,#%! 2! !"#$! $'1/5#! 51&&,&3! ='5! )88! .,&7(! of political office, Artie. But I 7'&/*!%&'(!)&$*+,&3!);'1*!-+)*! $'1/88!7'!='5!*+#!6#'68#9 $%&;!:+)*/(!/0)1(#!*+#5#/(!&'! )$""! (6##0+9! A5##! (6##0+! 0'(*(!
