T’S NOT LIKE getting an abortion in Pennsylvania was easy before. Just ask Janet, who more than a decade ago found out she was pregnant, at age 17.

State law requires parental consent if a minor wants an abortion, unless a judge bypasses the requirement. But Janet, who grew up around Erie, couldn’t tell her parents. And so she and her boyfriend cobbled together $450 from paychecks from Walmart and washing dishes, and had friends drive her to a clinic in nearby Buffalo, N.Y. When she spoke to a counselor about the decision to abort, “Basically I told the woman, ‘I’m 17, I’ve got all these plans. I’m going to college. This can’t happen,’” says Janet, who spoke on condition of using an alias.

“I just felt like it was something I had to do.”

Today, Janet and her boyfriend are married, living the life she hoped for — and pregnant with a child she says they can now support and are more prepared to raise. But at her high school, where sex education consisted of little more than being told about puberty, many of her classmates weren’t so lucky. “Even ninth-graders were having babies,” Janet recalls. “That’s scary stuff.”

Some didn’t finish high school, let alone make it to college.

“It was just a matter of who had the money to do what,” Janet says.

And women’s-rights advocates fear that, after years of an already difficult status quo, Republicans are seeking to put women like Janet in even more dire straits.

PENNSYLVANIA’S Abortion Control Act was

passed in 1989. In 1992, a U.S. Supreme

Court decision upheld most of its provisions, and it became effective in 1994.

Once that ruling was handed down, observers note, things quieted down on Pennsylvania’s legislative front.

“For years any abortion-related issues were really confined to fighting about family-planning appropriations,” says Sue Frietsche, a senior staff attorney with the Women’s Law Project who is CONTINUES ON PG. 08

also counsel for Allegheny Reproductive Health Center. “For many, many years the dominant strategy we saw was a stealthy incremental strategy — deny as hard as you can that what you’re doing is taking health care away from women. ….

That strategy has clearly been supplanted by an openly radical strategy.”

Over the past two years, the General Assembly debated a number of abortionrelated bills, including one requiring a mandatory, invasive ultrasound. Another bill, meanwhile, reclassified abortion facilities as ambulatory surgical facilities. The latter bill passed, which has forced clinics to undergo costly renovations to comply with new standards.

Kim Evert, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania, says that complying with those rules cost $325,000 for the agency’s Downtown clinic. It’s not clear yet how much that will increase the cost for patients. “We’re looking at that right now because our costs have gone up significantly,” Evert says. “This is budget time, [we’re] trying to figure that out.”

Meanwhile, new legislation being drafted in Harrisburg might ensure that many women will continue bearing the higher costs entirely on their own.

Two measures, Senate Bill 3 and House Bill 818, are being crafted to preclude new state-run health-insurance exchanges from covering abortion. The exchanges, which are due to be created by 2014 under President Barack Obama’s health-care reform, are intended to offer insurance to Pennsylvanians who can’t get insurance through an employer.

Republicans say they are trying to preserve the status quo.

“Obamacare prompted this,” says Joe Pittman, chief of staff for SB3’s sponsor, Indiana County Republican Don White.

“If Obamacare were not law and the exchanges were not coming into place, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.”

Pittman says SB3 is intended to enforce existing bans that bar tax dollars from being used to pay for abortion except in cases of rape, incest and danger to the life of the mother.

“We’re not setting any new standards here,” says Pittman. Consumers can purchase a policy outside of the exchange if they wish, he adds.

That’s unrealistic, say critics.

Planned Parenthood officials say that 80 percent of private insurance companies offer abortion coverage, making the measure a departure from the status quo.

“There is no one who offers and no one who will buy a separate policy for abortion,” says state Sen. Daylin Leach, a Philadelphia-area Democrat. “You don’t buy kidney-stone insurance. No one predicts what they are going to have.”

Democrats are countering the legislation. House Bill 818, a measure identical to White’s bill, passed in the House on April 23. It is now before the Senate, where state Sen. Jay Costa (D-Forest Hills) says Senate Democrats will introduce two amendments. One change will allow abortion to be covered when a pregnancy poses a threat to the mother’s health — not just to her life, as the bill is currently written. Democrats also want to allow individuals to purchase a policy covering abortion on the insurance exchange provided that the policyholder covers any related administrative fees.

Such a change, Costa says, would be “consistent with the intent of no taxpayer dollars going toward abortion,” Costa says.

Pitman says White opposes the changes. Such amendments, he says, are unworkable. “Despite best efforts to describe this as private insurance, it is not.” And if lawmakers want to amend the bill, he says, they should amend the entire Abortion Control Act to make sure the rules remain uniform.

In any case, says Evert, the legislation suggests that “clearly there’s been a change in the political climate. What we’re seeing is the anti-choice side feeling very empowered.”

“NO ONE WHO WILL BUY A SEPARATE POLICY FOR ABORTION. ...

YOU DON’T BUY KIDNEYSTONE INSURANCE.”

IN FACT, White’s bill isn’t the only one

worrying advocates and pro-choice legislators. Republican state Rep. Matt Baker — who spearheaded the legislation requiring costly clinic renovations last year — has introduced a package of bills dubbed “the rights of conscience bills.”

The bills would, among other things, allow insurance plans offered either by the state or private employers to drop coverage for contraception, sterilization procedures or abortifacient drugs or devices if it’s against their conscience.

The package also includes legislation that would require any insurer offering CONTINUES ON PG. 10

a plan to provide duplicate policies with one not offering coverage of contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures or abortifacient drugs or devices.

Citing scheduling conflicts, a spokeswoman for Baker said the representative would not be able to answer City Paper’s questions via email. But in a March 4 co-sponsorship memorandum, Baker wrote to his colleagues that he was introducing the measures because he believes “that the rights of conscience are being impeded by a Government who requires that employers, employees and governmental entities support, through use of tax dollars and insurance premiums, devices and procedures which violate their religious beliefs and conscience.”

Republicans say that while Obama’s health-care overhaul is motivating much of the new legislation, another factor is the case of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, who has been on trial for running an abortion clinic that authorities called a “house of horrors” in Philadelphia, performing late-term abortions in deplorable conditions. (As this issue was going to press, the Gosnell verdict was being read by jurors and the doctor had been convicted of several counts, including three counts of first-degree murder for the death of three live infants, and involuntary manslaughter of a patient.)

“I don’t think there was ever really a lull in pushing protecting life. … But it got

added emphasis after the Gosnell case,” says Stephen Miskin, spokesman for the Pennsylvania House Republican Caucus.

That case, says Miskin, “opened the eyes of many people. Was Gosnell the exception … or was what happened in Philadelphia commonplace in other places?”

But opponents of the bill say such restrictions will result in more cases of women having to go to unscrupulous providers like Gosnell.

“An increase in cost of abortion care, coupled with the decrease of licensed providers in Pennsylvania, has the potential to create a market for illegal and dangerous clinics to operate under the radar and put women’s lives in danger,” says Rebecca Cavanaugh, spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania. Cavanaugh says clinics work with clients to ensure they receive services via a sliding scale and foundation support, “but the increased burdens placed on women have the potential to drive women out of state at best … and underground at worst.”

But with Republicans controlling both the legislature and the governor’s mansion, choice advocates acknowledge that they are on the defensive.

“The idea that women can’t make decisions for themselves without the input of men is how the world is supposed to work according to these people,” Leach says. “Now they have a governor willing to go along with it.”

REDEVELOPING HISTORY Will arena development revitalize the Hill or simply extend Downtown? {BY AMYJO BROWN} WHEN TRAVIS Williams of the Pittsburgh

Ward e 14thtic Club h t y b ed ra Endorsdent Democ n Indepe

Ending gun violence is the Civil Rights issue of our generation.

A Pittsburgh where you can walk in any neighborhood free of fear and violence is the Pittsburgh we must build.

Make the Commitment....

We must develop a comprehensive strategic plan, in partnership with the police department and community organizations, which addresses the complex underlying causes of gun violence.

Taking Action....

Appoint a “Gun Violence Prevention Coordinator”” to organize and direct a well-structured plan.

Implement intelligence-based policing strategies and strategically deploy police officers in heavy crime areas.

Diversify our police force by hiring more minority and women officers.

Provide funding for proven educational, training and mentoring programs for our youth and young adults.

Improve the lines of communication between our police force and community residents by adopting programs like “Coffee with Cops.”

Providing the Leadership....

As an attorney for 27 years and as a former community organizer, I will use my mediation, negotiation and organizational skills to build a consensus to make this a reality.

This is the leadership that I will bring to City Council.

Penguins stood before a roomful of Hill District residents April 10 to discuss the team’s plans for the Lower Hill District for the first time, he said out loud what nearly all in the room knew to be true.

“It would be easy for me to stand up here and say, ‘Trust us,’” the team’s chief operating officer told the crowd of about 120. “I certainly understand how far that would go.”

The Pittsburgh Penguins, who have been granted the exclusive rights to develop the city-owned site of the former Civic Arena, are working on a master plan for the 28 acres of prime real estate between Bedford Avenue and Centre Avenue, just east of Downtown.

While the team was not yet in the picture in the 1950s, when city planners embarked on a redevelopment plan that included construction of the arena and the demolition of a large section of the Hill District, the Penguins now hold the responsibility for ensuring the next redevelopment of the Lower Hill doesn’t make the same mistakes.

For the Penguins’ part, team representatives say they are mindful of the past.

“We’re taking that history and thinking about what are the key things,” says Craig Dunham, president of Dunham reGroup, a consulting firm hired by the Penguins.

Those include a partial return to the street grid that once helped define the vibrant African-American neighborhood, extending Wylie Avenue again from Crawford Place to Washington Place and adding two new cross streets connecting Bedford and Centre avenues.

The proposed street grid also connects the Hill District to Downtown again, adding a pedestrian walkway and park on a bridge over I-579. The park would be one of three green spaces envisioned within the site, which will be a mix of residential and commercial.

The urban-redevelopment project of the ’50s was “a project intended to take away a community,” Williams says. “This is, in our mind, a move back to creating communities where people want to live, work and play.”

The Penguins’ plans are to be formally submitted to Pittsburgh City Council and the city’s Planning Commission in the com-

ing weeks. In the meantime, in presentations to Hill District residents, team representatives are seeking the community’s endorsement of their ideas for ensuring the Hill’s cultural legacy is protected.

But mistrust does indeed underlie the discussions, particularly when talk turns to how much direct benefit Hill District residents will see from the project.

Robert Bowden, a community organizer with the Hill District Consensus Group, says part of the problem is the framing of the issue.

“The residents of the Hill District want the development to reflect an extension of the Hill going [into] Downtown. The developers, obviously, want this framing to be Downtown extended outward,” he says.

Solutions vary: Some community leaders — such as City Councilor Dan Lavelle — are putting an emphasis on ensuring Hill residents get jobs from the development work expected to occur over the next 10 years, as well as opportunities to locate businesses in the new development.

“The Lower Hill development has the opportunity to do for Pittsburgh what the redevelopment of the airport did for Atlanta — create generational wealth opportunities,” Lavelle says.

Others are pressing for something more immediate and more tangible: The Hill District Consensus Group is leading a grassroots campaign urging the city to require the Penguins to dedicate $1 per car in parking revenue to a Hill District communityimprovement fund to be used for services such as youth programs and job training.

The Penguins do not favor that idea, Williams says, adding it would be only a short-term fix at best. He says the Penguins will not have the parking rights once development begins. But, he says, he hopes to build trust, little by little, as the process moves forward.

“A lot of the ideas and expectations are great ideas, and we want to fulfill as much of that as we can,” he says. “But we also have to balance that against bringing development to the table. If you put so many demands into the pot and a developer can’t fulfill those or it becomes unreasonable, the development won’t be here and nobody benefits.

“It stays a parking lot.”

“THE DEVELOPERS, OBVIOUSLY, WANT THIS FRAMING TO BE DOWNTOWN EXTENDED OUTWARD.”

NEWS OF THE WEIRD {BY CHUCK SHEPHERD}

Caribou Baby, a Brooklyn, N.Y., “ecofriendly maternity, baby and lifestyle store,” has recently been hosting gatherings at which parents exchange tips on “elimination communication” — the weaning of infants without benefit of diapers (as reported in April

by The New York Times). Parents watch for cues, such as a certain “cry or grimace” that supposedly signals that the tot urgently needs to be hoisted onto a potty. (Eventually, they say, the potty serves to cue the baby.) Dealing with diapers is so unpleasant, they say, that cleaning an occasional mess becomes tolerable.

The little darlings’ public appearances sometimes call for diapers, but can also be dealt with by taking the baby behind the nearest tree.

One parent even admitted, “I have absolutely been at parties and witnessed people putting their baby over the sink.”

The principal and head teacher at a Godalming, England, special-needs school were reported by employees in March for allowing a student with self-harm issues to cut herself, under staff supervision. Teachers were to hand the girl a sterilized blade, wait outside a bathroom while she acted out, checking up on her at two-minute intervals, and then dress the girl’s wounds once she had finished. The school reportedly abandoned the policy six days after implementing it.

Last year, according to Chicago’s WBBMTV, Palmen Motors in Kenosha, Wis., sold a brand-new GMC Terrain SUV to an elderly couple, 90 and 89, in which the husband was legally blind and in hospice care, on morphine, and the wife had dementia and could barely walk. According to the couple’s daughter, it was her brother, David McMurray, who wanted the SUV but could not qualify financially and so drove his mother from Illinois to Kenosha to sign the documents while a Palmen employee traveled to Illinois to get the father’s signature (three weeks before he passed away, it turns out). An attorney for Palmen Motors told the TV station that the company regretted its role and would buy the vehicle back.

The city council of Oita, Japan, refused to seat a recently elected member because he refused to remove the mask he always wears in public. Professional wrestler “Skull Reaper A-ji” said his fans would not accept him as authentic if he strayed from his character.

Some masked U.S. wrestlers, and especially the popular Mexican “lucha libre” wrestlers, share the sentiment. (At press time, the issue was apparently still unresolved in Oita.)

At a Jan. 8 public meeting, Cooper City, Fla., Commissioner Lisa Mallozzi, annoyed with local activist (and former commissioner) Gladys Wilson, told her (according to video and audio of the meeting), “[B]low me.”

Wilson, 81, said later she did not understand what the phrase meant; Mallozzi said later that she meant only that she needed to blow her nose.

Passive possession of child pornography is not a victimless crime, authorities say, because by definition a child had been abused

in the creation of the image, but that reasoning was no relief for New Zealander Ronald Clark, who was sentenced to three months in jail in Auckland in April for watching pornographic cartoon videos of short-statured elves and pixies. A child-protection activist acknowledged that no child was harmed in the creation of the Japanese anime artwork, but insisted that it was still injurious because “[I]t’s all part of that spectrum.” Clark said he wondered if he might also be convicted for viewing sexual stick-figure drawings.

+

John Leopold, the former county executive of Anne Arundel County, Md., serving 30 days in jail for illegally forcing his government security detail and another employee to perform personal errands, apparently wasted no time in March displaying a similar attitude toward his jailers. He quickly demanded that the jailers serve him a breakfast of Cheerios, skim milk, bananas and orange juice instead of the scheduled fare.

California street gangs stage fights whose locations can be accurately predicted using the same algorithm that anthropologists use to predict where lions and hyenas will fight in the wild to protect their own territories. A UCLA researcher, using the standard “Lotka-Volterra” equation on 13 equal-sized criminal gangs in the Boyle Heights neighborhood in east Los Angeles, produced a table of probabilities showing how far from each gang’s border any fights were likely to occur.

In the period 1999 to 2002, the formula correctly showed that about 58 percent of shootings occurred within 0.2 miles of the border, 83 percent within 0.4 miles, and 97 percent within 1 mile.

Carl Bellenir, 48, was arrested in San Luis Obispo, Calif., in February after he had successfully cashed in, at a Santa Barbara Bank & Trust, several rolls of pennies that had been stuffed into rolls labeled for dimes. Bellenir apparently did not realize that the rolls would be examined later in the day and so returned the very next morning to the same bank and tried it again. Police were called, and Bellenir fled, but he was captured down the street at a Bank of America trying the same trick.

Dateline Saudi Arabia: A newspaper in the capital city of Riyadh reported in April that three men from the United Arab Emirates were booted out of a religious festival

Kent Hendrix heroically rushed to the aid of a female neighbor being assaulted by an acquaintance on their residential street in Millcreek, Utah, in April and scared the man off (though he soon turned himself in). Hendrix is a bishop in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints and, more to the point, a black belt in karate, and even more to the point, was aiming his favorite samurai sword at the attacker.

Said Hendrix, “His eyes just got huge … that he was staring down 29 inches of razor.”

SLOW-BRAISED BONELESS SHORT RIB WAS MELTINGLY TENDER AND DEEPLY SAVORY

HILLTOP EATS {BY BILL O’DRISCOLL} It’s easy to overlook Patrix Café. It’s tucked inside the Hill House Association’s Kaufmann Center, and there’s not even a sidewalk sign outside.

But folks are finding this offshoot of caterer Patrick Polk’s Patrix Gourmet Foods. Nine months after opening, the café has just added breakfast to its eclectic menu.

Polk, who grew up on the North Side, started catering four years ago.

He’d been (and still is) a musician, touring as a keyboardist and vocalist with his inspirational/gospel group. But his mom and her friends loved the caramel apples he whipped up for her birthday once, and the dessert business that resulted segued into catering for the likes of the Urban League.

Another client, Hill House, wanted a lunch option for employees in its renovated Kaufmann Center. Now Patrix Cafe draws customers from as far away as Monroeville for everything from a tomato-and-goat-cheese tart to burgers and comfort-food Wednesdays. (Think fried catfish and four-cheese mac.) At $6.95, the tasty grilled chicken salad — mixed greens, blue cheese, walnuts and red onions — is about the priciest thing on the menu. Most sandwiches and wraps, and even hot dishes like agave chipotle-crusted salmon, are under $6.

Don’t forget the popular greentea ginger punch — or desserts like Polk’s signature banana pudding.

“We sell out of that almost every day,” he says.

HE FANTASTICALLY named Moon is a township in transition between its past as a bustling service depot for Pittsburgh International Airport and its future as the collegiate, if frankly suburban, hometown of Robert Morris University.

In this shifting landscape, hotels formerly occupied by USAir travelers now serve as dorms for RMU undergrads, and a restaurant called Savory Hill is a conceptual, if not physical, landmark.

Outwardly, Savory Hill presents little to distinguish it from the other businesses on Brodhead Road, a secondary commercial thoroughfare which winds its way westward from the concentration of chain stores nearest the airport-university corridor. It’s easy to drive right past it, but to do so would be a shame: Savory Hill’s fortifying menu of locally sourced, creatively prepared fine dining stands out in a local restaurant scene mostly represented by empty calories.

Savory Hill bills itself “an eclectic bistro,” and decorative touches like reclaimed wood-plank bathroom doors and candleholders fashioned from trimmed wine

Southern fried chicken

bottles (labels left on) suggest, ironically, a particular brand of urban sophistication which relies on a rustic country aesthetic.

Rather than allow this to bend our brains into pretzels, we focused on owner-chef Thomas Langan’s ambitious menu, whose restrained selection dabbles both in trendy offerings such as short rib and in intriguing updates of timeless classics like Southern

CP APPROVED fried chicken. Savory Hill’s suburban clientele may inform the more familiar options, but at no point does the menu condescend or get bogged down in the expected.

Our meal began with a creative chef’s Holy Grail: an original yet accessible appetizer. Rock Solids Bites were morsels of

dip (yes, dip) crusted and quick-fried for an effect reminiscent of jalapeño poppers without the pepper. See what we mean by intriguing? Regular options include spinach dip crusted with crushed pita chips and French-onion dip coated with potato chips, and as with every category on the menu, there is always a daily special. While the popper analogy may be off-putting, these bites transformed traditional pub grub into something much more sublime, with satisfying crunch, a burst of savory flavor and no regrets.

The starter list as a whole bounced between rarified — scallop Napoleon, with asiago-lemon bread crumbs and star-anise gastrique — and regular-Joe, such as buffalo-chicken nachos, albeit classed up with a bleu cheese-celery relish. Both ends of the spectrum appealed, but, seduced by the promise of local, seasonal produce, we selected salads. Baby romaine was a version of a Caesar, tiny leaves with oven-roasted tomato and a tasty garlic-herb crouton. The dressing was much like a traditional Caesar, too, though a refreshed version really could

have sung, as did the honey-champagne vinaigrette on Angelique’s chef’s garden salad. Its carefully balanced sweet and acidic notes were the perfect foil for this lovely salad of tender baby lettuces, “toy box” tomatoes (which must be so named because they look like colorful baubles) and local goat cheese, making it one of the most memorable salads she has ever had.

South of the Border surf-and-turf in lesser hands could turn into steak and shrimp with some salsa, but Langan is better than that. Chipotle-marinated sirloin was no surprise, but it was a nice cut — thin enough that the chili flavor held up, thick enough to cook well. Even better were beautifully seared scallops, still translucent in the center, lightly flavored with tequila and lime.

The bed of honey-chipotle jasmine rice was as thick as a risotto, but its sweetness highlighted the dish’s main shortcoming: not enough spice. Each element was well balanced, but none packed any heat, so that the plate as a whole tilted just a touch bland.

Deconstructed crème brûlée

Slow-braised boneless short rib was meltingly tender and deeply savory, as short rib should be, and accompanied by a lusciously sticky risotto studded with charred asparagus. The vegetable’s caramelized top notes struck just the right balance with its bitter undertones. But the best part may have been the fresh local carrots. The size of a child’s finger, they came in three colors — orange, yellow and deep purple-red — and were cooked to the peak of tender-firm sweetness.

A trio of homemade cheesecakes provided an echo of the “bites” concept at the close of our meal. Topped with vanilla, chocolate and strawberry sauces, the cake itself was rich and creamy, and the crumbly graham-cracker crust showed that sometimes, tradition knows best.

It’s still a local secret, but the view from Savory Hill is superb.

{BY HAL B. KLEIN}

SHOTS HEARD ’ROUND THE WORLD British-born liquor expert wants us to show “independence” Pittsburgh newcomer Rob McCaughey is a wine and spirits evangelist. The affable Brit spent the last 20 years as a global ambassador of hospitality and beverage management, working in Europe, Asia and, for the last five years, as an importer and distributor in Abu Dhabi.

McCaughey moved to Pittsburgh a few months ago to accompany his wife, a Ph.D. candidate at Pitt. He says he knew he wanted to work in the city’s beverage industry, but “I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to do.”

When he walked into Dreadnought Wines, a Strip District libations vendor whose owners (Deb Mortillaro and Mike Gonze) put a heavy emphasis on education, he knew he’d found the right fit.

After a couple of conversations, he was hired as the store’s education director.

“Giving people the independence to make smart choices is a big part of what I do,” he says.

McCaughey admits that Pennsylvania’s tricky liquor laws took a bit of getting used to. “I didn’t understand how the three-tier system or the PLCB worked,” he says. Happily, “people [in the service industry] were really friendly and keen to share ideas. You don’t find the snobbery you’d get in other cities.”

McCaughey’s classes at Dreadnought will be geared to both restaurant-industry professionals and general enthusiasts.

He’ll lead certification-focused classes of the Wine and Spirits Education Trust, but also teach fun evenings like a blind tasting of single-malt world whiskeys, scheduled for May 20.

“No one in the city is doing such a focused, educational program,” he says.

“We really want to become a one-stop shop for training.”

Customers expecting an old-fashioned booze-up — something that has been known to happen at other tastings around town — should rethink their expectations.

“It’s not just for people to come here to drink,” McCaughey says.

“This is more about understanding the actual products, flavors and regions.

Tasting is there to reinforce and help people understand those building blocks.”

WE LOVE LUCY WHEN 71-YEAR-OLD Lucy Nguyen set up her grill and the table full of pickled ingredients in the Strip District two weeks ago, the texting and Tweeting and Facebooking began: “Look who I found!”

Jeff Guerrero was one of those who spread the word, texting 20 friends on Nguyen’s first day: “Lucy is back from Vietnam.”

And she has brought her signature banh mi sandwiches: French-bread hoagies filled with marinated and grilled pork or chicken, piled with pickled carrots, cauliflower, red onions, hot peppers, herbs and hot sauce.

“She sold out of hoagies before I got here,” Guerrero says. “I kinda shot myself in the foot.”

SOBA/UMI. 5847-9 Ellsworth Ave., Shadyside. 412-362-5656/412-3626198. Here, the local Big Burrito group offers two different menus in the same building. Soba offers pan-Asian fusion (from Korean barbeque to Thai corn chowder and Vietnamese hot-and-sour shrimp) in a minimalist yet elegant restaurant/lounge. Umi’s Japanese menu, meanwhile, focuses on sushi and teriyaki; it’s a perennial finalist in City Paper’s “Best of Pittsburgh” issue. LE STATION STREET. 6290 Broad St., East Liberty. 412-365-2121.

A neighborhood hot-dog joint with exotically dressed dogs, including: chili cheese (with curds), Hawaii (pineapple and bacon), kimchi, sweetbreads and “devil” (egg salad, Tabasco and potato chips).

Also offers tacos. JF STEELHEAD BRASSERIE AND WINE BAR. Marriott City Center, 112 Washington Ave., Downtown. 412-394-3474. In this upscale hotel restaurant, the straightforward menu promises that the aquatic name holds more than brand value. While entrées include seafood and other meat in almost equal proportion, the soups and starters are dominated by the former, with old favorites like jumbo shrimp cocktail matched with more contemporary offerings. LE THAI GOURMET. 4505 Liberty Ave., Bloomfield. 412-681-4373.

Located in a narrow former lunchroom, Thai Gourmet is the casual, no-nonsense and no-frills member of Pittsburgh’s Thai restaurant club. The prices are on the low end, but the food quality is high and the portions are huge. The decor mixes Asian themes with diner kitsch in a delightful way. JF

Street-food vendor Lucy Nguyen sells banh mi.

Nguyen is an established, and beloved, Strip District tenant who began selling the sandwiches outside of My Ngoc, the restaurant she ran for about 16 years.

Though she has since closed the restaurant because it was “too much work,” she still maintains her cart, now located in the parking lot of Bar Marco, from spring to late fall. She spends winters in her native Vietnam.

Nguyen’s story is one many of her customers know: She moved to Pittsburgh more than 40 years ago, following her husband, a serviceman whom she met in Hue, Vietnam. They had three daughters.

Nguyen worked in hotel housekeeping before opening her restaurant.

Guerrero says the food isn’t the only reason he gets excited about seeing Lucy: “A lot of it is Lucy herself. …

[T]he food is good, but I’m also taken care of here.”

Nguyen has been known, for example, to refuse payment when a loyal customer is down on his luck.

She is mothering in other ways, too — quick to introduce others to new flavors and foreign foods.

“This sandwich covers every taste sensation you could ever have,” says Eric Tolchin, another regular who brought a handful of work colleagues by Nguyen’s cart last week after he discovered she was back.

“Today is the greatest day of my life,” he exclaimed as he approached.

Turning to his co-workers, whom he hoped to turn into new disciples, he said: “This is the greatest sandwich you’ll ever have. That’s all you need to know.”

“I AM INTRIGUED BY SPECIFIC METAPHOR AND VERY PHYSICAL WORDING.”

BEAT

{BY RORY D. WEBB}

HE’S THE DJ

INFO@PGHCITYPAPER.COM

KEEPING UP

DJ Pete Butta

If being well-travelled lends a sense of diversity, it should come as no surprise the sense of variety that Pete Butta embraces as a DJ. The New Jersey-born 25-year-old was raised in Illinois before living his teen-age years in State College. His interest in music began in fourth grade, when he purchased Dr. Dre’s “Forgot About Dre” single on vinyl. It was a small piece to a greater puzzle that Butta is still building today.

“Every record or little piece of equipment was an accomplishment,” he explains. “Like, ‘Yo, look what I got, look what my next step in becoming a DJ is.’”

In 10th grade, Butta got his first set of turntables and began practicing in his parents’ basement. At an Ol’ Dirty Bastard concert, Butta met current WAMO-FM DJ Mike Jax, who, at the time, was a Penn State student with his own radio show. “[Now] I knew someone that was a DJ and on the radio week in and week out,” says Butta, who began sitting in on Jax’s show. “Before I could learn how to drive, I was on college radio.”

Butta laughs as he recalls his first time DJing live, spontaneously at an event at Damon’s Bar & Grill. “They hit capacity early,” he says, “so people had to go outside to try and get their friends in and there was an empty set of turntables in a room with, like, 30 people dancing. So I was like, ‘I guess this is the first time I have to play in front of people.’”

In 2011, Butta moved to Pittsburgh and continued to expand his résumé — which also included an internship with Sirius XM in New York City. Since moving to Pittsburgh, he’s toured with Braddockborn hip-hop group The Come Up, contributed to various parties and earned corporate sponsorships.

As one-fifth of the Fuk Dat Party team, Butta has helped to organize a monthly event that travels to different neighborhoods and venues throughout Pittsburgh, bringing a variety of creative styles and sounds to each location. Butta also is a resident DJ at S Bar every Saturday night.

“Just being able to be versatile is what’s really been dope as a DJ for me,” he says. “From cruise ships, to gay bars, to playing skate competitions.”

F

RESH OFF a spate of European tour dates and about to embark on a U.S. tour, Aly Spaltro, better known as the mastermind of Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, is remarkably calm. She is back in Brooklyn, where she resides and where she recorded her debut album, Ripely Pine. “It was kind of a culture shock to get back to New York, but I love being home and I’m happy to be back,” Spaltro says.

Given the amount of preparation and fine-tuning that went into the album, Spaltro’s calm is warranted. The songs on Ripely Pine were written over the course of about three years while Spaltro was living in Brunswick, Maine, and then recorded over 10 months after relocating to her current BK digs. Now she is eager to share the material.

The careful attention paid in creating Ripely Pine can be felt immediately upon hitting “play,” and the music stays remarkably fresh over repeated listenings. It is hard to believe that the songs here are the result of Spaltro’s first outing as a songwriter — harder still when one considers that they were conceived when she was 19. On Ripely Pine, she emerges as a voice fully formed.

Video-store apiarist: Aly Spaltro

The album’s 12 tracks do not traffic in vagueness. They are specific, often to the exclusion of accessibility. But in that specificity lies their value. Vivid imagery abounds on Ripely Pine, while frequent allusions to small animals and to human anatomy speak to a fascination with the natural world.

“I am intrigued by specific metaphor and very physical wording,” Spaltro says. “The idea that you could describe something so specifically that [maybe] it could become a little horrific — I’m intrigued by that.”

LADY LAMB THE BEEKEEPER

WITH XENIA RUBINOS, MIDGE CRICKETT 8 p.m. Fri., May 17. Garfield Artworks, 4931 Penn Ave., Garfield. $8. All ages.

412-361-2262 or www.garfieldartworks.com

As such, the songs not only lend themselves to scrutiny, but bear it well, and Spaltro is in no rush to demystify the content.

Vocally, she can whisper honey-sweet nothings or yelp vinegar yowls with uniform ease, performing every task she attempts

with competence and confidence.

Spaltro’s confidence in her abilities speaks to the circumstances under which the songs were written. The album took shape while she was working at Bart & Greg’s DVD Explosion, an environment that Spaltro found supportive and nurturing. “It was the independent video store, and everyone in the town rented from that store,” she recalls. “It was a [very] enlightened place to be. I stored my gear behind a wall [so] that no one would know it was there and I would work [after] the late shift and into the morning.”

Spaltro is working in a music business that keeps its classifications neat and tidy, but she balks at the “girl-with-the-guitar” designation. “Being a girl in the industry is tricky,” she says. “I’ve worked hard over the years to make people understand that I’m not just a singer-songwriter. I’d never use that label for myself.”

On Ripely Pine, she aims to showcase her versatility. She is happy to skirt expectations and genre-specific norms when it means giving her songs the chance to reach their “full potential.” “Because the structures of my songs are unformulaic,” CONTINUES ON PG. 30

KEEPING UP, CONTINUED FROM PG. 28

she says, “I wanted them to be full and epic, and cover the ground from minimal to lush, even in one song.”

In keeping with her desire to let the content of her songs dictate their form, she accepted the help of producer Nadim Issa, with whom she’d collaborated previously. While recording at Let ’Em In Music, Issa’s Brooklyn studio, the two reworked the existing songs to achieve the scope and sweep that Spaltro desired. This reimagination included adding strings and horns to the songs, which were initially written as solo pieces.

Most importantly, though, their time in the studio gave rise to structural experimentation of movements and divergences within songs that define Ripely Pine. Most of the album’s dozen songs meander on tangents after false finishes and other detours. Nine of the tracks exceed the fourminute mark.

The method works to great effect; resolutions segue into epilogues, subverting the songs expected meaning. On “Bird Balloons,” one of the album’s highlights, Spaltro waxes nostalgic about a turbulent relationship whose nature defied definition, before arriving at a détente: “And the stars they were so still / And both our hearts, they were revealed / and you were my friend.” Not content with such a tidy resolution, she jumpstarts the song with a whoop, kicking a hole out of the back end and reasserting her role in the experience: “I’m a ghost and you all know it,” she snarls, “I’m singing songs and I ain’t stoppin’.”

Given the introspective nature of the songs on Ripely Pine, the boldness of these production and arrangement choices cannot be overstated. What could as easily have been quiet, delicate affairs are instead brassy barn-burners. “Older songs were revived in the recording process, because they went from being solo songs to [me] arranging them from the ground up,” Spaltro says.

“In that way I [had to] reconnect with them.

I still feel very much connected to them, even if the content is a little older.”

While Lady Lamb’s sound bears some marks of the Americana movement of recent years — think Heartless Bastards, Iron and Wine, or Neko Case — it is ultimately distinctive, owing largely to the uniqueness of the arrangement and structure of the songs. In spite of being written piecemeal, Ripely Pine is a remarkably cohesive album, with recurring motifs, sonic and lyrical, that speak to Spaltro’s passion for her subject matter. What’s most interesting is that her lyrical approach is antithetical to her approach to production. The message of her lyrics is consistently one of self-reliance, yet the epic arrangements she achieves could only be accomplished through collaboration.

NEW RELEASES

B. WHITE THE ANOMALY (THE 58S)

McKeesport rapper B. White here presents his first solo full-length, released by his group The 58s. In 18 tracks (plus two bonus tracks), he lays down often brutal truths about life in the Mon Valley.

White mixes social commentary and the personal, often in close quarters. On one track simply called “Me,” he laments the hardships of street life and the futility of hip-hop culture’s worship of material things, then wraps up the chorus with: “Welcome to hell / Welcome to me.” It reveals a jarring sense of self-consciousness, sometimes even self-loathing, that mixes with a more general and expected hip-hop bravado. It’s worth taking notice when the deep-voiced rapper takes time on a beautifully produced track (“Funeral”) to drop a rhyme like, “But this is real as it can get / And I feel like a piece of shit.” Recommended.

BY ANDY MULKERIN

THE 58S PRESENT B. WHITE AND GUESTS PERFORMING THE ANOMALY. 7 p.m. Fri. May 25. Altar Bar, 1620 Penn Ave., Strip District. $10-15. All ages.

Rapper Crystal Seth has a knack for engaging his audience during live performances, and he’s taken long strides toward translating this energy to his recorded music on District XXIII. The overall zoned-out vibe is fitting for highway cruises on a summer day, and the more upbeat songs like “Flying Is Living” and “Onesy and Slippers,” which features Action Bronson, are highlights. Locals Beedie and Chevy Woods also make appearances as the Fox Chapel High School grad and Penn State student shares his college and life experiences with listeners.

think of a rock band as just a rock band.

The frontman of Nation of Ulysses, The Make-Up and Weird War always has something else going on — usually something involving leftist politics and an aesthetic uniformity that feels a little bit dangerous, a little bit cool. So it’s little surprise that his new book, Supernatural Strategies for Making a Rock ’n’ Roll Group, isn’t exactly a simple how-to for budding musicians.

Like Svenonius’ previous literary offering, The Psychic Soviet, the new book mixes cultural criticism, history, anthropology and a bit of left-field methodology to make the reader think about rock music in terms not often discussed in music writing.

The conceit of parts of the book involves the idea that the author held a séance with a number of dead rock luminaries to learn their “secrets,” because living rockers won’t share for fear of losing their industry advantage. The bits spoken by musicians like Buddy Holly and Mary Wells, though, form one continuous narrative about the history of the rock band — which, Svenonius argues, followed in the form of the youth street gang, and therefore has more in common with that social group than with any previous musical organization.

It’s a trip simultaneously mindbending and silly; it’s one thing to read and digest a sentence like: “Only barbaric countries (e.g., the United States of America,

Israel) regularly employ their armies as instruments of death.” It’s wholly another to imagine that sentence spelled out in spaghetti by a dead Motown singer. Of course, it’s exactly that mixing of ideology and impish humor that’s informed

The dead-rock-star whisperer: Ian Svenonius

Svenonius’ music all this time.

Just as he did in The Psychic Soviet, where Svenonius argued that Hitler was driven by his love of operatic narrative and death, he makes provocative points here, often expressed aphoristically: “The death cult in rock ’n’ roll is one of its most important aspects and is born of the medium’s potent sexual power.” (That one’s attributed to Brian Jones.)

After the séance, Svenonius goes through all of the usual signposts of rock-band life, not unlike what you’d find in a more traditional guidebook — but his take is always a bit more complex. The “van” section, for example, doesn’t discuss what’s “best” to buy, but defines the different modes of transports as cultural signifiers for rock bands. In a section on finding bandmates, he painstakingly describes the characteristics of each Zodiac sign as a sort of occult key for finding a rock group.

Svenonius — who speaks at Pittsburgh Filmmakers this Friday as part of his Supernatural Strategies book tour — continues to prove himself an unconventional and important thinker when it comes to cultural studies and pop music.

While some parts of the book can tend toward the silly, it’s anchored by the serious scholarship that makes Svenonius one of our more respected writers on music.

Concert Picnic Tips Summer is the season to wrest free of the tyranny of bar concerts and enjoy a picnic dinner at a concert in the park. But … what to pack? Here are a few ideas to help make your lawn snacks memorable.

+ +

First things first: Prodigious numbers of blankets are advised. The more layers you can put between your food and hungry ants, the better.

Pack light, and pack stuff that won’t need any further prep work or utensils once you get to the show. Tea sandwiches are great. A caprese salad — stacked tomato slices, mozzarella and basil, with perhaps with a drizzle of balsamic reduction — is the definition of summer finger food. Cut your bread and cheese beforehand, so you don’t miss the opening act while trying to saw sourdough with a plastic knife.

+

Most amphitheater areas are, by their nature, not on level ground. Consider bringing cups with lids on them to hold your drinks; you might look like a toddler with a sippy cup, but you won’t be going back to the pitcher every two minutes for refills because your cup fell over again.

Speaking of drinks … alcohol iss prohibited at most park concerts, and we certainly wouldn’t advise skirting the law. Butt if you choose to, maybe pick a discreet beverage, verage, like wine in a Tetra-Pak container. Bandit andit wines get the job done, and basically y look like big juice boxes. Just behave yourself, self, and don’t let the kids get into it.

PITTSBURGH CITY PAPER

NOW THROUGH OCTOBER

NUMBERS RULE this season at the megaplex: Quite a few releases have a 2 or 3 — even a 6! — appended to their titles.

Add in unnumbered sequels, plus remakes and spins-offs, and it’s a recycleheavy summer!

The action is non-stop this summer. In assorted crime-fighting, we have terrorists attacking the White House (second time this year!) and facing off against one badass cop (Channing Tatum); White House Down opens June 28. In The Lone Ranger (July 3), Armie Hammer plays the masked avenger, with Johnny Depp mugging it up as his sidekick, Tonto.

On July 19, the retired spies are back on the job, in Red 2, looking for a loose nuke; on the same day look for R.I.P.D., an action-comedy about undead cops, the Rest in Peace Department. More mismatched buddy cops: Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock star in The Heat (June 28), and Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington pair up to o fight crime in 2 Guns (Aug. 2).

Superheroes never get a vacation because the villains ains never stop messing g stuff up: Man of Steel, a.k.a. Superman, a.k.a.

Clark Kent, flies again on June 14; Marvel’s hairy dude with the killer fingernails gets his spotlight in The Wolverine (July 26); ); and the teen superheroes eroes are back in Kick-Ass 2 (Aug. 16).

Cinema in the Park

{BY AL HOFF}

On the crime side: The car-boosting gang is reunited for one last job (we hope) in Fast and Furious 6 (May 24), and Now You See Me, a caper pitting the FBI against illusionists against corrupt CEOs, opens May 31. The real-life tale of celebrities who

R.I.P.D.

get robbed by teens, The Bling Ring, starring Emma Watson, opens June 28; and corporate espionage is the focus of Paranoia (Aug. 16).

Battling weirder stuff: It’s Brad Bat vs. a whole planet of zomPitt v bies in World War Z (June 21).

Then, Then giant undersea robots!

Pacific Ring opens July 12. And it’s another chapter for the it demi-god in Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (Aug. 7) For action from the past, see the he-men of Greece battle Persians in 300: Rise of an Empire (Aug. 2).

30 And in the future: Will and Jaden Smith struggle with the

post-apocalypse in After Earth (May 31), and it’s haves vs. have-nots in the year 2154 in Elysium (Aug. 9).

If you’re looking for frights: Lena Hedley stars in The Purge (June 7), a horror thriller about when murder becomes legal. Or, visit a haunted farm in The Conjuring (July 19).

The comic pain just keeps on throbbing: The Hangover Part III opens May 23.

In The Internship (June 7), a comedy that might just be a Google ad, Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson get hired at the searchengine HQ. In the meta-comedy This Is the End, all your faves from R-rated comedies (Seth Rogen, James Franco and Jonah Hill, Monsters University among others) play themselves during an apocalypse; it opens June 12. Not sure who painting to electric signs and food design) asked for another chapter of this not-fun- in conjunction with the Three Rivers Arts Festival.

But open, and Pittsburghers it’s mostly another round can also walk to several of favorites: From Pixar, it’s city parks for outdoor films: Monsters University (June The Cinema in the Park se21); more adorable minions, ries returns on June 8, with reminions, minions in Despicacent and classic family faves includble Me 2 (July 3); and the return of the cheery blue creatures The Smurfs 2 ing Jack the Giant Slayer and Jumanji.

It’s hard to talk local ice cream without starting with the seasonally ally open Page Dairy Mart (4600 East Carson St., South Side).

You’ve got an old-time ice-cream counter at Klavon’s (2801 Penn Ave, Strip District) where the malts and floats are top-notch. h.

In Oakland, there’s the goodness of Dave and Andy’s (207 Atwood St.), where both the ice cream and the waffle coness are homemade.

Out for a weekend drive, there are plenty of spots outside the city. y.

Between the West End and Green Tree there’s a shop called Antney’s ney’s Ice Cream (1316 Poplar Drive, Westwood), named after the guyy inside making unique flavors like Mexican chocolate with candied bacon..

To the north is Any Given Sundae (2612 Brandt School Road, Wexford), with home-made ice cream in the case and sports on the big screen. n.

And should you find yourself in Beaver County, two places deserve a stop.

Witch Flavor (588 Third St.) might be the only local shop in driving ng distance to offer ice cream from the famed Penn State Creamery. And nd down the road in New Brighton is Hank’s Frozen Custard and Mexican Food (2210 Third Ave.). That’s right — ice cream and tacos, a whole summer meal you can eat with your hands.

Food Trips There are plenty of places to stuff your face within city limits, but there are also some worth the drive: About an hour north in Slippery Rock is North Country Brewing Company (141 S. Main St.), a sprawling, funky microbrewery with an outdoor patio.

The brewery aims to operate sustainably. For instance, the spent grains from the beer-making are used to feed the cattle that provide the outstanding farm-to-table Black Angus burgers.

In Beaver County, a bit of nostalgia awaits at Jerry’s Curb Service (1521 Riverside Drive, Bridgewater). This is a ’50s-style drive-in restaurant, complete with car hops and vintage cars parked in the e lot on weekends.

Try the hot sausage.

Want to feel like you’re in Tuscany without using yourr passport? Take a short trip to Narcisi Winery (4578 Gibsonia Road, Gibsonia) to sample one of the reds, whites, blush or rosé wines, made from grapes harvested from m local vineyards. Bring a picnic and enjoy a bottle on the grounds ounds while listening to live entertainment, or enjoy a bite from rom its La Vite Ristorante.

Clem’s Café (1985 Rt. 22 East, Blairsville) offers that quintessential American road food: barbecued ribs, chicken and pork. k. It’s a little joint that boasts big flavors, courtesy of the hardwood d fire.

[PARTY ROCK] + SUN., MAY 19

[INDIE ROCK] + TUE., MAY 21

Since the release of I Get Wet more than a decade ago, Andrew W.K. has developed a close following for his strange, irreverent approach to music, and his party-on philosophy.

Songs like “Party Hard” and “I’m a Vagabond” define his sound, which at times feels reminiscent of the kind of shameless, good-time-seeking attitude of ’80s hair-metal bands. In many ways, W.K.’s music is like hair-metal’s edgier, more genuine offspring. The energy that pours through the tracks is raw, the choruses shouted and glossless. Best of all, the whole thing translates into a memorable and passionate live performance, which will undoubtedly be showcased at Altar Bar. John Lavanga 8 p.m.

1620 Penn Ave., Strip District. All ages. $20-$22.

Futurebirds, the Athens, Ga., band that just released its second full-length on Fat Possum, has alt-country tendencies, sure. But just as notable are the band’s shoegazey notes; at

A NEW DAY {BY AL HOFF}

THE 3-D IS UNNECESSARY UNLESS YOU LIKE DRESS SHIRTS TOSSED IN YOUR FACE

Japanese anime is associated with films that are fantastical, cyberpunkish or require the creative license that animation can provide. But the latest feature from the renowned Ghibli studio co-founded by Hayao Miyazaki, From Up on Poppy Hill, is quite simply a slice of ordinary life.

It’s 1963 and Japan is prepping for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. But in the harbor town of Yokohama, teen-age Umi is running a boarding house, going to school and falling in love. She’s taken with Shun, a bright boy from her school, who helps to lead a campaign to save the ramshackle student-activities clubhouse from the wrecking ball.

In the pink: Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio)

DREAM BOY {BY AL HOFF}

{PHOTO COURTESY OF ©2011 CHIZURU TAKAHASHITETSURO SAYAMA-GNDHDDT}

Umi embarks on another busy day.

CP APPROVED

The film’s small story is set against a larger cultural one, as Japan transitions from the sorrows and hardships of the last generation’s wars to being a modern world power. Nearly every scene contains visual cues that show Japan’s mish-mash of old and new, while the story illustrates this new generation, caught between the nostalgic pull of the past and the responsibility of leading this new Japan.

The late Hayao Miyazaki wrote the script (adapted from a manga), and the film is directed by his son, Goro Miyazaki.

While the hand-drawn Poppy Hill doesn’t have the sublime nature of studio’s best work, like Spirited Away, it’s charming and filled with exquisite visual details, such as the bubbles of fat in the cooking pot or the ever-changing light over the harbor. Dubbed in English. Starts Fri., May 17. Harris AHOFF@PGHCITYPAPER.COM

Registration is now open for Pittsburgh’s

48 Hour Film Project.

The event happens July 12-14, when you and some pals get 48 hours to write, cast, produce, shoot and edit a short film; genre, mandatory prop and line, and other requirements will be assigned then. Completed films will be screened in late July. You must register by June 17 to get the early-bird discount. More information at www.48hourfilm.com.

PITTSBURGH CITY PAPER 05.15/05.22.2013

O

N ONE LEVEL, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby is about puncturing grand myths and the manipulation of smaller truths. In that spirit, I’ll confess to not having read the Jazz Age novel since the Carter administration, and will spare you the howthis-movie-ruins-the-book screed. Instead, allow me to lay out some concerns about how Baz Luhrman’s infatuation with re-inventing classics and dispensing glitter undermines his film adaptation. This Gatsby isn’t the delirious train wreck some of us feared (or hoped) it would be, but it’s not a success, either. And if these complaints seem petty, well, everything about this film seems to encourage a viewer to process it superficially.

A Bit of Everything: Luhrman seems determined to shoehorn the novel into a variety of user-friendly genre slots: noirish mystery, melodrama, music video and even rom-com (the first hour got a lot of laughs). And somehow, a short book got turned into a very long movie.

Framing Devices Galore: The story, set in 1922, is narrated by Gatsby’s pal, Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire), who, in 1929, is in a sanitarium. He relates the story to his doctor and writes it up as therapy; his spoken words (both handwritten and typed) also appear on screen.

And, we begin and end the story going through monogrammed “JG” gates.

Playing the Part: Gatsby is intentionally theatrical, but that archness makes some scenes resemble an expensively produced high school play. Too often, exuberant behavior is cartoonish, while elsewhere the characters’ disaffected ennui is flat and dull. The lavish party scenes are like a casting call for RuPaul’s Drag Race — all shrieking, sparkly feathers and candy-colored bathing suits. Speaking of which: Is Daisy (Carey Mulligan) wearing a cheap wig?

Oh Dear, Old Sport: Leonardo DiCaprio seems a reasonable facsimile for Gatsby, the boy from nowhere who re-invents himself partly through costumes and affected speech. But no matter how dreamily DiCaprio is photographed (loved the pink suit, darling!), he remains a mannequin, offering us little emotional entry into Gatsby’s tragedy.

THE GREAT GATSBY

DIRECTED BY: Baz Luhrman STARRING: Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton In 3-D, in select theaters

Script by Cliffs Notes: Every theme is spelled out and repeated, as if this story of the disillusion of the American Dream is too hard for any of us in 2013 to understand. And that green light Gatsby can’t stop staring at?

You’ll see and hear a lot about it.

Beat On Ceaselessly: “You can’t repeat the past,” we’re told. And I’d add: You can’t make it 3-D, either. Luhrman’s decision to do so is totally unnecessary, unless you like dizzying plummets, and glittery things and dress shirts tossed in your face.

A dancer as the white swan from Swan Lake

While Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre is one of the nation’s top ballet companies, its school also has a reputation for turning out top talent. The school draws dancers from around the world to hone their skills in preparation for a professional career.

A highlight of that training is the annual Pre-Professional Showcase, May 17-19 at Point Park University’s George Rowland White Performance Studio.

For area dance fans, the showcase is an early look at some of the high school and graduate-student dancers, ages 14 to 22, who will soon populate companies including PBT. One such dancer is Willoughby, Ohio, native Diana Yohe, who will join PBT as an apprentice next season.

Yohe, 18, trained at Cleveland City Dance and Joffrey Ballet’s trainee program before entering PBT’s graduate program. She’ll dance lead roles in two of the showcase’s six works. At the matinee on Sat., May 18, she’ll perform the role of the white swan Odette in Act II divertissements from Marius Petipa’s classic ballet Swan Lake. It’s staged by PBT artistic director Terrence Orr, who Yohe says calls the role as a “thinking game.” Adds Yohe, “You have to picture each step you do in your head. They can go perfectly or come out terribly wrong. Your job is to still make them look beautiful.”

Yohe will also be featured in Michael Smuin’s 1978 ballet “Quattro a Verdi” (7 p.m., May 18, and 1 p.m. May 19).

Staged by PBT School’s newest faculty member, Andre Reyes, and set to opera music by Giuseppe Verdi, the ballet is a virtuoso pas de quatre that pays homage to Petipa’s classic pas de deux formula, only with four dancers instead of two.

“It’s super-energetic and the hardest thing I have danced so far,” says Yohe.

Also on the program will be: David Lichine’s one-act ballet “Graduation Ball”; August Wilson Center Dance Ensemble member James Washington’s celebratory work “Beauty, the Lack Of,” set to music by Olafur Arnalds; the classic Italian “Tarantella” dance; and “Prossimo,” a new ballet by Reyes for 12 male dancers that he calls “a showcase for the boys to do what they live to do.”

Of the showcase, Orr says, “It’s very much a full-fledged production and quite challenging for the dancers.”

ONTINUUM: Doug DuBois and Aaron

Blum is the first in a projected series of contemporary photography exhibits exploring mentorship and influence — generally between teacher and student.

Blum received an MFA in photography in 2010 from Syracuse University, where he studied with DuBois, and each is represented by selections from a recent longterm project focusing on a social group in a defined location. DuBois and Blum dramatize their subjects without idealizing them, creating nuanced images that reflect an intimate knowledge acquired through extensive personal interaction and, in Blum’s case, shared history and identity.

Doug DuBois, a 50-ish prof, has been prestigiously exhibited, published, collected, fellowshipped and honored as an educator. His project “My Last Day at Seventeen” (2009-12) is a sensitive depiction of coming-of-age in a housing estate in southwestern Ireland, where the project grew out of an artist’s residency that included working with at-risk youth. DuBois’ photographs feature people — mostly teen-agers — alone or in groups, and in their expressions we can read uncertainties and anxieties that are not unusual among those on the threshold of adulthood. But those emotions are heightened by Ireland’s economic problems and the lack of opportunity that beclouds the subjects’ future.

Each of DuBois’ portraits has an emotional poignancy, along with an unsettled

a considered slice of locale, including seacoast, park and street views around the brightly colored housing. The houses and surroundings generally look relatively clean and decently maintained, and the young

people look fairly healthy, though many appear anxious or sullen, coupled with flashes of bravado among the young men. This is not a picture of desperate poverty, but a world in which young people of limited means are challenged by an uncertain future, short on optimism and hope.

Aaron Blum’s “Born and Raised” (201013) depicts an environment closer to home: his hometown of New Martinsville, W.Va. Thirty-year-old Blum, formerly director of education at Silver Eye, currently works as an adjunct photography instructor in the Pittsburgh area. His lyrical color photographs portray his “upper middle class family and friends,” showing an underrepresented side of life in often-stereotyped rural Appalachia. As with DuBois, Blum includes evocative portraits of people posed CONTINUES ON PG. 92

in a variety of surroundings. But Blum casts a wider net, using interior still lifes and views of large-scale industry and unpeopled landscapes.

In each case, Blum manages the image effectively, condensing aspects of the world into a slice of time and space, yielding a stand-alone photograph that is laden with information and suggestive of insight, yet open-ended. While a photograph might feature a nuclear power plant or an up-to-date factory of the sort that doesn’t need many workers, we’re not guided to any conclusions. Outdoors there is some decrepitude to be seen and some revitalization as well, while nature is ubiquitous and barely held at bay. Indoors, bourgeois comfort is the dominant motif. The overall impression is of people existing in a changing world that, in this case, hasn’t left them behind.

CLASS OF ’76 {BY BILL O’DRISCOLL}

DuBois describes his project as “somewhat fictional, somewhat documentary,” even acknowledging digital alterations, while Blum describes his series as “based on the false impressions of others, [and his own] idealizations and personal experiences.” I think what DuBois and Blum mean to convey in their artist’s statements is that these projects are not limited by the strictures of photojournalism or its close kin social documentary. In gallery talks at the exhibit’s opening, DuBois and Blum emphasized that these scenes are often stage-managed in collaboration with the subjects. This is not the realm of staged art photography, however, but rather modestly tweaked photographic realism. Much of the power of both series resides in their detailed description of appearances, and their plausible insight into social groups and attitudes.

Because this is the first installment of this series, it’s not surprising that the nature of influence between mentor and student being explored and celebrated is rather direct: There are similarities of tone, approach and appearance, while still recognizing the diverging paths. But I hope that as Continuum unfolds, influence will be defined broadly, with room for unexpected insights within less apparent connections.

David V. Matthews’ Meltdown in the Cereal Aisle is his first collection of short stories. It’s self-published, but don’t be put off: Meltdown is a nice piece of work, entertaining and slick in its way, but also rather sophisticated. Its 141 pages contain eight interconnected stories set in Western Pennsylvania over the past 35 years.

Matthews plays with chronology and skillfully employs popculture signifiers like bad rock bands and forgotten sitcoms to explore his characters’ secret hearts.

Yet Meltdown is neither ponderous or treacly. Matthews’ style is crisp, even deceptively offhanded. His firstperson narrators and other characters are all quippy and bantering, as glib as the ensemble in a Kevin Smith screenplay. And the tone is often almost blithely satirical.

Yet there’s plenty going on beneath the surface. At its best, the book blends the thematic concerns of literary fiction with the snappy pace of genre work.

In “Putting the Bi into Bicentennial,” a teen-age girl has invited the narrator, her male classmate, back to her house, and warns him about her parents’ hyper-patriotic décor: “[I]t looks like Uncle Sam took a crap in here.” The episode ends awkwardly — but intriguingly, it’s not even quite the focus of the story, whose narrator is looking back over the three decades since his last days as a class-of-’76 high school senior in suburban Center Township. The amusingly, if unsettlingly, self-serving narrator reappears briefly in “The Sovereign Egg,” told from the perspective of the girl, now grown up and a hipster theater director.

The title story, meanwhile, lampoons academia, corporate life and pop culture.

But it’s also a moving, and at times incisive, portrait of the relationship between two sisters, one with a newborn child, navigating modern anxieties. In “Sheer Musical Joy for the Ages” (love these titles), Matthews somehow earns your sympathy for a cad obsessed with bedding a stunning virgin.

(Extra credit here for the appearance of recurring character Blake Summers, a former hair-metal god turned singing megachurch pastor.) And “Peach Monstrosity Sans Necktie” somehow works 9/11 and punk rock into a madly time-hopping story that juxtaposes a fiction reading with the real events that inspired it.

Matthews, 48, is a long-time fixture at local readings and art openings. He’s known both for posting personal-ad fliers for himself around town, and for being diagnosed, at age 41, with Asperger’s syndrome. Meltdown documents the societal milieu of his times with a sensibility all his own.

CANCER KIDS {BY ROBERT ISENBERG} BE ADVISED: As I left Dani Girl at last Friday’s performance, a woman rushed past me.

She scampered down the corridor, sobbing uncontrollably. She waved off concerned friends, shrieking, “I can’t! I can’t!”

Dani Girl is that emotional. Not always either sad or funny, but an unsettling mixture of both. Because the show is a musical about children with cancer, the climax is an absolute shocker — whatever you expect at the beginning of Dani Girl, the opposite happens. And faced with song titles like “God Is Dead” and “Comaland,” you should prepare to soak your face in tears.

That said, Stage 62’s premiere staging of Dani Girl is brave, intelligent and astonishing. It doesn’t feel like a volunteer production in the basement of a public library, but rather an avant-garde workshop at a Brooklyn fringe festival. Christopher Dimond’s semi-autobiographical script is about a young girl, Dani, who endures leukemia for the second time. Her single mother clutches rosary beads and skirts total meltdown. Dani’s best friend is Raph, her (literal) guardian angel, a goofy cherub with a penchant for tough love.

Dani is smart and upbeat, but she struggles to comprehend her suffering.

When a new kid, Marty, shows up, they pretend to travel through galaxies, into the body, and to heaven. Their quest is peppered with pop-culture references, from Star Wars to hip-hop videos, exactly as a child would rehash them. They even sing a cheery tune about their suicide pact. Dani Girl is like the Dora the Explorer of terminal oncology. The show, directed by Dustin Wickett, takes you completely by surprise, and when your mouth isn’t gaping with alarm, you’re laughing hysterically or bawling your eyes out.

The show was first conceived at CarnegieMellon, but it seems written specifically for these actors. As Dani and Marty, Natalie Hatcher and Stephen Santa are as perfect a pair as I’ve ever seen in community theater; they sing Michael Kooman’s challenging songs (lyrics by Dimond) with ease and aplomb. Becki Toth is predictably strong as Dani’s mother, and Rob James plays Raph — and Darth Vader, and God — with astound-

tion of Disney’s Tarzan is doing an awfully good job. The Byham’s stage has been turned into a remote Congo jungle, complete with torrential rainstorms, flying cockroaches, cavorting fireflies and killer leopards.

Tarzan the Ape Man’s English is nearly nonexistent. Yet he is able to break into Phil Collins songs with the ease of Lindsay Lohan slipping into court.

But oh! What fun this is!

The story of a baby boy, left behind after a leopard kills his parents, has been pure escapist fodder ever since Edgar Rice Burroughs penned the first of his 24 Tarzan novels back in 1912.

Daddy Ape Kerchak hates the “thing” and favors infanticide. But his wife, Mama Ape Kala, sees the baby as a replacement for the child they lost to the leopard.

We watch Tarzan go from boy to man, swinging on ropes, playing with his best pal, Terk, and wondering why he is so different from the others. (One reason: He refuses to roll around in ape poop, as his primate pals are wont to do.)

But it’s when the grown Tarzan swings onto the stage in the form of a loin-clothed, dreadlocked muscle-stud that the real fun begins.

{ART} To mark Association of Art Museum Directors’ Art Museum Day, admission to The Carnegie Museum of Art is free from 4-8 p.m. today.

And on Saturday — which is officially Art Museum Day nationwide — The Andy Warhol Museum, The Frick Art & Historical Center and the Westmoreland Museum of American Art are free all day.

(OK, the Frick proper usually doesn’t charge anyway, but tours of restored Frick family home Clayton are free.)

Guests are also invited to share their experiences through the AAMD’s social-media platforms. Jeff Ihaza www.aamd.org

{ART} It’s the playoffs, and the stakes are high. The National Society of Arts & Letters’ three-day National Visual Art Competition for printmakers features first-place winners from all 18 NSAL chapters, including Pennsylvania’s. The national winner nets a $15,000 prize. And this year’s host is The Andy Warhol Museum.

Competition will be fierce; maybe the Warhol will screen the action outdoors, in its Art Fan Zone? Bill O’Driscoll 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Competition continues through Sun., May 18; exhibit continues through June 2. 117 Sandusky St., North Side. 412-237-8300 or www.warhol.org

{TALK} Sister Helen Prejean is best known for Dead Man Walking, her 1994 book about her experiences with death-row inmates that became an acclaimed film.

She remains an outspoken advocate for abolishing the death penalty. Tonight, she speaks at Rodef Shalom, hosted by Pennsylvanians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty. Her latest book is The Death of Innocents, detailing the flawed trials that led to the executions of two men she

And this weekend, the Kaufmann’s Clock marks its 100th year as something for people to meet under. The clock’s namesake department store is history, but Macy’s Downtown Pittsburgh hosts two days of festivities, including street-fair activities with carnival games, cooking demos and gift-card giveaways. It starts this morning with an appearance by Mr. McFeely of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. Highlights Saturday include the afternoon street fair and an appearance by the Harlem Globetrotters.

Bridgette Perdue calls being a fellow with August Wilson Center for African American Culture “a dream come true.” Annually, the fellowship supports African-American artists who then showcase new work at the Center’s First Voice Festival. Perdue, a R&B vocalist and composer, dreamt of singing and dancing to her own music, and of staging a performance with a baby grand piano.

On Fri., May 17, her show Wake Up and Dream, opens the festival, complete with a full band and backup dancers. Also opening that night is Wilson fellow Marlana Adele Vassar’s exhibit of new paintings inspired by performances in the Cultural District.

Although a previously scheduled show by playwright, performer and recent Carnegie Mellon drama-school graduate Joshua Wilder has been removed from the program, next week, filmmaker Nikki Young presents a staged reading and theatrical trailer premiere for her new drama, Things Not Seen. And the festival closes May 25, with writer and performer Nathan James’ latest version of his acclaimed evening-length one-man show Growing Pains, which explores culture and media from the perspective of a young black man. Bill O’Driscoll Fri., May 17-May 25 (all performances at 8 p.m.). 980 Liberty Ave., Downtown. Admission to performances is $10. 412-258-2700 or www.augustwilsoncenter.org

Now he’s up to his third in a series of Pittsburgh-set crime novels featuring psychologist Daniel Rinaldi. In Night Terrors, Rinaldi is retained by the FBI to treat a retired profiler of serial killers suffering from night terrors, an extreme sleep disorder associated with children that Palumbo says is becoming more common in adults in real life, too.

J&S

{BY DAN SAVAGE}

I have a mentally disabled cousin who has lived for more than 40 years in the same nursing home in a small, conservative town.

He is now in his late 60s. He has always enjoyed dressing up as a woman, but given that he’s in a Christian nursing home, he must keep it fairly secret. He doesn’t want to move from his home of so many years.

He periodically calls to tell me about a dress he’s purchased or his monthly therapy sessions where he’s permitted to dress up, and I’m uncomfortable with the sexual vibe of the conversations. I would like him to have a sexual outlet, but one that doesn’t involve me. Any ideas?

SHE KNOWS IT’S REALLY TOUGH

Nope.

And staging some sort of intervention now — well, the effort seems about four decades late.

Even if you could find a new living situation for your cousin, SKIRT, your cousin doesn’t want to move. He’d probably be happier if he didn’t have to keep his dresses secret, but things could be much, much worse.

I’m in a monogamous heterosexual relationship. We don’t use protection except birth control. Is there any reason other than sexually-transmitted-infection issues — not an issue for us — that we shouldn’t share a butt plug?

SEX TOYS ARE PRICEY

Nope.

GLASS

nience store or a truck stop and steal some porn mags. My brothers and I learned important life lessons shoplifting porn when we were your son’s age: to be watchful, to seize opportunities and to run like hell.

I am one of those straight girls who like to make out with other girls when I am drunk.

It’s fun to get the attention of men by kissing girls! Why do so many lesbians and bi women disparage this behavior? I am just an adult having sexy fun with other consenting adults!

DRUNK STRAIGHT GIRL

I can’t believe there are still queers out there hatin’ on drunk straight girls (DSGs) who make out with other DSGs. Same-sex marriage remains illegal in 38 states, the HIV-infection rate among young gay and bi men is up, and trans people who just want to use the toilet are being attacked in schools and state legislatures. (Google “rape” and “public restroom,” and tons of stories come up — but they’re all about straight men attacking women. Want to make public restrooms safer? Ban straight men from using them.) The queer community has 99 problems, but DSGs making out with DSGs ain’t one.

MY BROTHERS AND I LEARNED IMPORTANT LIFE LESSONS SHOPLIFTING PORN WHEN WE WERE YOUR SON’S AGE.

We’re a straight couple, and my boyfriend and I love playing with his butt.

I love being able to ride him when he has a butt plug in, but it always falls out during sex. Do we need a different toy?

PLUG LEAVES US GUESSING

What you need is a bigger butt plug. The circumference of the widest part of the butt plug (the part that goes in his ass) needs to be four or five times greater than the circumference of the narrow part of the butt plug (the part his sphincters grip). If the widest part of your butt plug isn’t much wider than the narrow part, that butt plug will fly out of your boyfriend’s ass. Bigger butt plugs look intimidating, but the extra effort required to get a bigger butt plug in a straight boy’s ass … well, it pays off in the end.

My son is 13. After I caught him with porn on his smartphone, I replaced it with a dumb phone and limited his access to the Internet.

We have talked about desensitization and the oppression of women that occurs with porn. Yet the hormones rage on. He has asked me to buy him a Playboy. I want him to come to me to talk about sex, but a mom buying her son porn doesn’t seem OK. If I don’t buy him a magazine, he will seek porn on the non-parent-regulated Internet. If I do purchase porn for him, doesn’t that just encourage him to walk the path of porn?

BAFFLED BY TEENAGED BOYS

If your son wants old-fashioned, pre-Internet porn, he can acquire it in the old-fashioned, preInternet manner: He can get his ass to a conve-

I’m a female and have been seeing a great guy. We’ve been having awesome vanilla sex, but I dig light spanking. I have told him this, and he talks some hot dirty talk about what he’s GOIN G to do to me, but there’s no follow-through.

This discomfort is linked to some abuse he witnessed — his stepdad hurt his mother.

I’m happy for him to ease into it slowly, but it’s been at least a month since I last brought it up, and I’ll go crazy if I don’t get some kinky sex soon.

MISSING MY KINKS

Here’s what to tell your boyfriend: “Vaginal intercourse without consent is rape, but vaginal intercourse with consent is sex. You can wrap your head around that, right? So wrap your head around this: Spanking someone without consent is assault, but spanking someone with consent is sexy. And you’re going to spank me right now, with my consent, and it’s going to be hot.”

No sex question. I just want you to tell me what is up with two guys at my gym. The skinnier dude does all the grunt work — sets up the weights, wipes down the equipment — while the bigger dude stands there. The skinnier one can’t be the bigger dude’s personal trainer. Yesterday when the bigger dude noticed his shoe was untied, he pointed to his shoe, and the skinnier dude knelt and tied his fucking shoe for him. What the hell?

MOST EVERYONE AT THE GYM IS FREAKED

What you’ve described sounds like a semipublic Dom/sub muscle-worship scene. But I could be wrong. If you have to know for sure, ask the bigger dude. If these dudes are doing some Dom/sub scene, and the point is to humiliate the scrawnier dude, the bigger dude will be only too delighted to tell you about it.

{LAST WEEK’S ANSWERS}

FOR THE WEEK OF

Free Will Astrology

05.15-05.22

{BY ROB BREZSNY}

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have arrived at the edge of reality. Or rather, to be precise, you have arrived at the edge of what you think of as reality. Here’s where things could get very interesting. Just on the other side of that edge you’re brushing up against, there is much, much more reality — a vast territory you have barely imagined, let alone believed in or explored. Are you feeling brave? If you’re willing to find out about stuff you didn’t even realize you would love to experience, I suggest you slip across the border and wander around on the other side.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

A character in Neil Gaiman’s graphic novel A Game of You delivers this speech: “Everybody has a secret world inside of them. … No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they’ve all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them.” As a Gemini, you are not, of course, dull and boring on the outside. That may have something to do with why your secret inner worlds are often even frothier and sparklier than most people’s. But lately, I’m afraid, some of those secret inner worlds of yours have gotten a bit shabby and dank. It’s time for a deep cleansing. To be thorough, don’t just wash your own brain. Wash your wild heart and funky soul, too.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

The 14th-century poet Dante was a major influence on 20th-century novelist James Joyce. “I love Dante,” wrote the author of the epic novel Ulysses. “He is my spiritual food.” And yet Joyce felt he had to absorb Dante in small doses.

“Dante tires one quickly,” he said. “It is as if one were to look at the sun.” Is there any influence like that in your own life, Libra? Judging from the astrological omens, I’m guessing it’s a fine time for you to get as much sustained exposure to that glorious source as you can bear.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

“You begin saving the world by saving one person at a time,” said writer Charles Bukowski. “All else is grandiose romanticism or politics.” I invite you to make that thought one of your guiding principles in the coming week, Cancerian. Translate your high ideals into actions that make a practical impact on particular human beings and animals. Instead of merely talking about what good things you want to do, actually do them.

As much as possible, be sure that every detail of your daily life reflects your vision of ultimate truth and beauty.

Greek poet Sappho was renowned in antiquity.

The nine books she wrote were so esteemed that the historian Strabo wrote, “in this whole span of recorded time we know of no woman to challenge her as a poet even in the slightest degree.”

And yet little of Sappho’s work survives. As of 2004 there were just 264 fragments and three complete poems. But then a fourth complete poem emerged. Its text was written on papyrus that had been wrapped in the casing of an Egyptian mummy. The mummy had been stored for years in a backroom at Cologne University in Germany before someone discovered its hidden treasure. Your assignment, Scorpio, is to seek an equivalent recovery. Search for a part of the past that’s still beautiful and useful, even if that quest leads you to unlikely and obscure places.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

If you were a fledgling savior, now would be a propitious moment to begin your messianic mission. If you were a musician hoping to leap to the next level of career success, this would be prime time to plan an extensive tour. If you were the inventor of the Next Big Thing, I’d suggest that you get your marketing campaign in gear.

And if none of those descriptions fits your personal situation, regard them as apt metaphors for your use. How can you spread the word about what’s most important to you?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

As frontman of the band Queen, Virgo singer Freddie Mercury made use of his four-octave range with flamboyant showmanship and breathtaking technique. Many critics regard him as one of the greatest vocalists in the history of pop music. Freddie joked that he was perfect except for one glaring flaw: his overbite. Because he had four extra teeth in his upper mouth, his top jaw protruded. But he chose not to alter his appearance with surgery because he suspected it might change his singing voice in unpredictable ways. Is there a comparable situation in your own life, Virgo? A so-called imperfection that seems to be entwined with a beautiful asset? I urge you to be like Freddie. Accept the paradox — embrace it and celebrate it — and move on.

I absolutely forbid you to be a slave of happiness, a victim of pleasure or a prisoner of love.

Wait. Sorry. I take that back. What gives me the right to forbid you from doing anything? It’s your life. You’re the boss. So let me reframe my previous advice. Dear Aquarius, I beg you not to be a slave of happiness, a victim of pleasure or a prisoner of love. None of the good things in life will give you what you need if you make yourself crazy or sick while pursuing them. That’s the cautionary news. The encouraging news is that in the next five weeks, I think you will have a knack for cultivating a graceful relationship with happiness, pleasure and love.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):

Don’t be like the ducks that are floating on Phoenix Lake a short distance from where I’m sitting. They’re feeding entirely on the surface, happy to skim a few insects from the top of the placid waters they’re drifting on. No, Pisces, be more like the frogs that are diving to probe for morsels down below. This is a phase of your

astrological cycle when the quest for more variety can deepen your perspective and provide better nourishment.

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

In the alternate universe created by Marvel comic books, there is a mutant superhero called Squirrel Girl. She has the magic power to summon hordes of cute, furry squirrels. Under her guidance, they swarm all over the bad guy she’s battling and disable him with their thousands of tiny chomps and thrashing tails. She and her rodent allies have defeated such archvillains as Dr. Doom, Deadpool, Baron Mordo and Ego the Living Planet. Let’s make her your role model for the coming weeks, Aries. The cumulative force of many small things will be the key to your victories. As in Squirrel Girl’s case, your adversaries’ overconfidence may also be a factor.

Do you allow your imagination to indulge in fantasies that are wasteful, damaging or dumb? I dare you to stop it. Testify at Freewillastrology.com.

When I turn my psychic attention in your direction, I smell smoldering smoke. Here’s how I interpret that: Your internal fire is burning with less than maximum efficiency. Do you agree, Sagittarius? If so, do you know why that might be? Did you not provide enough kindling? Is the wood too green? Is the ground wet? I urge you to find out what the problem is. You can’t afford to have sputtering flames and sooty light and spotty warmth. You need a steady blaze that radiates brilliant light and strong heat.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Very few of us are completely uninhibited about expressing who we really are. Most everyone is shy about revealing at least one facet of his or her identity. Why? Maybe because we’re afraid that people will judge us harshly for being different from what they think we should be. Or maybe our secret side is at odds with our selfimage, and we hesitate to acknowledge it even to ourselves. What is this part of you, Capricorn?

In what sense are you still in the closet about a truth or quality or event that’s central to your character? I urge you to have a conversation with yourself about it. You aren’t necessarily ready to tell the whole world about it, but now might be the right time to start considering the possibility that you can give it more room to play.
