CONNOISSEURS of wacky public meetings might want to attend the Health Center’s meetings as its overlarge board of trustees goes all sphinx on locals trying to pry info out of them. This is what happens: The locals “vent” as the trustees look back at them as if they’re not there. The eight sphinxes don’t look angry or amused or haughty or anything at all other than blindly disinterested. It’s weird, and twice as weird when you know that the 8 Health Center sphinxes have known everyone in the audience for many years. It would be as if your family and friends suddenly began looking at you as if you weren’t there. Kinda eerie, actually, like out of a horror movie.
