Remembering Sabrina

by Jim Morekis | jim@connectsavannah.com

SEP 1 - SEP 7, 2010 | WWW.CONNECTSAVANNAH.COM

In October 2001, a local paper named Connect Savannah merged with another local paper named Creative Loafing (which I edited at the time) to create the product you hold in your hands now.

Environment:

& Now: If UR 12 Hear in 2 bookz but no

06 By the numbers 08 city notebook 13 Blotter

While the new paper retained the name of one of the parent papers, the result of the merger was a product which was unlike the prior incarnation of Connect Savannah.

To properly introduce the new paper, I chose a cover story and accompanying photo essay by a local writer and photographer named Sabrina Manganella Simmons.

Titled “Song of Sandfly,” the two–part series explored, through images, text, and quotes, the feelings and concerns of African–American residents of the southside community called Sandfly about controversial plans for development there and the potential impact of that development on their neighborhoods.

The series was Sabrina at her finest: A compassionate yet intense focus on the problems of real people; an ability to put people at ease and capture their true essence through her lens; and writing which was straightforward yet evocative, emotional without being maudlin.

The inaugural issue of the post-merger Connect Savannah, Oct. 2001, with cover story by Sabrina Simmons

Sabrina was the perfect choice for the launch because she was the ideal reader of the new Connect Savannah: A young, well–educated, creative person who was curious about the world and the community around her.

She went on to write many more things for us over the ensuing near–decade, including a photo essay on the efforts of the local nonprofit AWOL, a piece on the tribulations of the North American Right Whale off the Georgia coast, and an exploration of the questionable impact of standardized tests in the schools.

In a tragedy which nearly defies description and all human understanding, Sabrina was killed in an auto accident Aug. 21 in Evans County, Ga. She was 39 years old.

She leaves behind her husband of 17 years, Jack Simmons, a professor at AASU, and their two young daughters, Savannah and Mary.

For those of you who didn’t know her, here’s why our loss is your loss as well: In a town where so many talk about being creative rather than actually creating anything, where so much is promised but often so little delivered, Sabrina was a clear exception.

Others talk about getting into organic farming. She actually did it: raising chickens for fresh eggs in a backyard coop, tenderly planting rows of vegetables in the front yard. continued on next page

I admit that I’m angry as well — livid and furious that tragedies like this happen to the best people among us, while the worst people continue to have everything handed to them.

Hopefully I can follow Sabrina’s example and do something constructive about it, instead of just talking.

On a separate note: I wish it were under more pleasant circumstances, but we’re performing another sort of launch this week. You’ll notice several new features, including two new national comics (“The City” by Derf and “Slowpoke” by Jen Sorenson) and a new local cartoonist (Kevin Burkhalter).

We also debut a new feature called “By the Numbers,” a quick–hitting look at local and state news and events.

Also, there are some design–oriented tweaks in the paper, including a more reader–friendly Week at a Glance section. We’re also breaking out Karaoke and Trivia separately in our Soundboard within the Music section. cs

Others moan about the big banks and Wall Street. She actually “took the pledge” and moved her money into credit unions and community banks.

Others complain about local schools.

She became a substitute teacher and immediately began making a difference in the lives of local children.

Others talk about all the things they’d like to do to become more involved.

She actually did something by joining various local boards, such as ChathamSavannah Citizen Advocacy.

In short, others talk about doing things to make the world a better place.

Sabrina actually did them. This is her legacy, and the reason Sabrina will always be one of my role models.

A million priests and a million rabbis could take the next million years attempting to explain why horrible things happen to good people, why the best people so often leave us at such a young age. I don’t think any of them would get one iota closer to making sense of it.

Everyone whose life was touched by Sabrina is overwhelmingly sad today about losing her: sad for her family, sad for the community, and sad, frankly, for

City Notebook

As inevitable as smoking and taxes

Council puts two major issues to rest — a smoking ban and a millage increase — at last week’s meeting

by Patrick Rodgers | patrick@connectsavannah.com

In what was probably one of the most anticipated City Council meetings of the year, our elected officials debated and voted on two of the most controversial issues of 2010 — the smoke free ordinance and a small increase in the millage rate.

If you happen to see a re–broadcast on the city government channel, this is a meeting worth watching, because there was no shortage of fireworks.

Here are the highlights.

Mind the gap The property tax increase became the centerpiece of a heated exchange in the City Council meeting on August 12, and it would ignite some passionate debate at last week’s meeting as well.

When it came down to it, the increase passed by a vote of 6–3 with Jeff Felser, Mary Ellen Sprague and Clifton Jones voting against it.

When it came time to vote, the board showing ‘yea’ and ‘nay’ votes for each Council member wasn’t turned on (or wouldn’t light up), so a vote was taken by raising hands.

Felser was the most vocal in opposing the measure, citing the shaky economy and the lack of effort to find other possible savings before raising taxes.

“Even when this passes, you’re only buying four months,” Felser said. “We’re simply putting a Band–aid on a gash

that’s opening.”

Jones argued that raising taxes was the wrong thing to do considering how much time is spent discussing poverty in the city. He also raised the point that the budget shortfall could be paid for using another reserve fund the city held besides the Sales Tax Stabilization Fund.

The mayor offered re–assurance that

Stabilization Fund and .5 mill increase in the millage rate, from 12.5 to 13.

“Combining these strategies will allow us to continue our services,” said Small–Toney.

Quitting for New Year’s After several heated public meetings, and countless phone calls, emails and letters from people on both sides of the issue, council passed an amended version of the smoke free ordinance by a vote of 7–2.

The new rule, which will end the centuries’ old tradition of smoking in

said that the fervor of debate and level of effort that went into the smoking ordinance pointed out “a basic problem in our society.”

“There’s never been as much energy put to stopping poverty as there has been about cigarettes in bars,” said Thomas.

There were several amendments made to the ordinance before the final vote. Business owners will be allowed to define “reasonable distance” when the recommended 10–foot distance requirement is not possible.

The effective date was pushed back to New Year’s day, after both 30 and 90 days were deemed too abrupt.

There’s never been as much energy put to stopping poverty as there has been about cigarettes in bars.

- Alderman Tony Thomas

with a focused look at the 2011 budget, the millage rate could return to 12.5 next year.

Due to declining sales and property tax revenue, the City was forced to find a way to close the $3.2 million gap in the current year’s budget. The proposal set forth by Acting City Manager Rochelle Small–Toney involved a combination of measures, including a $1.2 million withdrawal from the Sales Tax

Savannah’s bars, will take effect on January 1, 2011.

Clifton Jones and Mary Osborne voted against the ordinance.

Osborne took a vocal stance against the ordinance, saying it was “restricting freedom of choice.”

Jones added, “I know this will pass, but I hope it doesn’t put us in a position to lose revenue.”

In one of the most poignant comments of the afternoon, Tony Thomas

Also, an exemption was carved out for some restaurants with outdoor seating. Any restaurant with outdoor seating equaling 50 percent of indoor seating can offer 20 percent of outdoor seating as a smoking section.

The Healthy Savannah Initiative has gotten a $25,000 grant from the Georgia Department of Community Health to help businesses with signage and fliers about the ordinance. cs

The state budget crisis threatens oversight of environmental regulations locally

by Patrick Rodgers | patrick@connectsavannah.com

The state’s Environmental Protection Division (EPD) office in Savannah closed July 1, the most recent victim of the state’s ongoing budget cuts.

Shuttering the local office raises questions about whether regulatory oversight in the area is sufficient to monitor the range of industry and development here.

“We are running bare bones,” says Darrell Crosby, Coastal District Manager for the EPD. Although most of the staff was retained and consolidated with district headquarters in Brunswick, pushing staff further away from industry and the Savannah River could prove risky.

“They’re still expected to put out the same number of permits. They’re still expected to cover the same area of regulation, but now they’re two hours away from the area they’re supposed to be regulating,” says Bonitatibus, Executive Director of the Savannah Riverkeeper, a non–profit dedicated to monitoring the river.

While there are still EPD staff living in the Savannah area and working remotely from headquarters, local staff has decreased to a total of eight, who are responsible for monitoring and inspecting underground storage tanks, solid waste, air quality, drinking water systems, waste water outflow and the environmental impacts of development.

Juggling so many responsibilities would seem to increase the chances of missing potential violations.

“So far, we’ve been able to maintain our frequency of inspection that meets what we’ve agreed to with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),” says Crosby. “But if we continue to lose staff and can’t field positions, [the frequency of inspections] might be something we have to look at in the future.”

Between fiscal years 2006 and 2008, the amount generated by natural resources revenue, including solid waste fees and fines to violators, had steadily increased nearly $5 million, from $46.9 million to $51.8 million.

After budget cuts, including eliminating 22 positions through attrition, revenue in 2009 was down to 2006 levels, and $2 million less than was conserva-

the sentient

Water quality on the coast is at risk with decreased funding for monitoring

tively estimated in the year’s proposed.

While the natural resources revenues are hardly the state’s cash cow, it is indicative of the larger problems caused by the state’s revenue troubles.

A vicious cycle is created wherein un-

derfunding of agencies causes revenue loss, which in turn leads to further budget cuts – a financial spiral that is leading to what Bonitatibus describes as “forced deregulation.”

“It’s indicative of a much bigger problem,” she explains. “They’re not changing the laws, they’re just making it so people aren’t capable to do their jobs.”

In the last two years, the DNR budget (which funds the EPD) has been cut by more than $50 million, about 15 percent of its annual allotment two years ago.

For the EPD, this has resulted in furlough days, reductions in environmental monitoring contracts, a reduction in funding for the Emergency Response Network, and the elimination of 36 positions ranging from admin support to management, according to state budget documents.

“If we lose more state-funded positions and the revenues don’t start showing an increase, we could absorb more shortfalls with staffing,” says Crosby.

“Those people who retire that are state funded, those positions are automatically frozen unless it’s a critical position...they’re just not filling them.”

There were few, if any, state agencies that haven’t had to tighten their belts in the last two years as a consequence of plummeting state revenue, but the hit to the EPD could have a serious impact on the area, particularly for the Savannah River.

“Budgets for regulatory agencies are getting slimmer and slimmer,” says Oscar Flite, the Research Director with the Southeastern Natural Sciences Academy (SNSA).

The EPD is responsible for calculating the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the river (the physical quantity of waste allowed to be dumped into the river without causing irreparable damage), but the agency has been unable to fund comprehensive data collection to monitor pollutions effects on the river in over a decade.

“They were using data from 1999,” says Flite, who was part of a two–year, research–intensive, data collection project to better understand river water quality issues with the SNSA.

Finance Authority, who normally provide low interest loans to municipalities in need of water and sewer infrastructure improvements rather than funding environmental regulation by state agencies.

The Savannah River is already recognized by state and federal officials as impaired because of its low levels of dissolved oxygen. The river also supplies a large amount of potable water for the City of Savannah and surrounding counties.

If lack of oversight leads to a more severe environmental issue, it will most likely end up costing taxpayers to fix it.

“If we continue to de–regulate by stripping funds and continue to have little or no oversight over these issues, we’re only costing ourselves more money in the long run,” says Bonitatibus.

“And we’re having to deal with the negative environmental impact.” cs

The project was funded by the EPA, and included data collecting modules called sondes placed underwater to gather information. The data was used to create a technical document providing detailed chemical analyses of the river, particularly the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water, which is a major concern for the health of natural habitat.

At the recommendation of stakeholders along the river, including some industrial entities, the SNSA data was provided to the EPD to update their calculations regarding the river’s overall health.

Because the EPD must handle watersheds across the state with a continually shrinking budget, bodies of water are tested in what Flite describes as “a round robin cycle,” where no one body of water can be given constant attention. The problem is directly tied to budgetary need.

In the state’s amended FY2010 budget, funding for testing the TMDL was completely removed, and will now be funded by the Georgia Environmental

Back2School for you?

Hartford Gongaware went back to elementary school last fall. He got a fifth grade pen pal named Christopher, he read some new books, and he and Christopher traded letters online about the books they read.

“It was a learning experience for me,” says Gongaware. For a grownup with a masters’ degree, that’s saying something.

Gongaware and his pen pal were matched up for their online correspondence during the first year of In2Books Savannah, a reading and writing project that connects Savannah–Chatham County public school 3rd, 4th, or 5th graders with local adult mentors. The children and the adults read five books selected by the students’ teachers, or by the students themselves, and then trade letters online about the books, as electronic pen pals.

“I had a nice experience with Christopher,” says Gongaware. “My favorite [book] was The True Story of Sacagawea. We also did one called Down Comes the Rain, and Julian’s Glorious Summer.

“Christopher was clearly a pretty gifted kid. He was reading The Hobbit.

We not only talked about the books we were reading [through the program,] but also other books.”

Last year, In2Books Savannah provided over 400 students with pen pals.

Gongaware liked his pen pal role so much that now he’s the Savannah Campaign Director for the program. He and Jay Jones, the In2Books Community Outreach Coordinator, are looking for 625 e–pen pal mentors for this school year, to be signed up by September 30.

So far they have 128 on board.

That means they need 497 more.

“What I liked about the program is the community involvement in our schools,” says Gongaware. “We know our schools will thrive if we can put our effort into them, but it’s so hard to figure out where is that opportunity, if you don’t have time to go volunteer for 12 hours a week. This is a way for the general populace to get involved with a kid that’s not their own, and to see that there’s an impact to be made.”

Reading the books and exchanging online letters takes volunteers about two hours per month. In2Books is completely computer based, to increase the technology skills of the students, to

Hartford Gongaware and Jay Jones with books from the In2Books reading and writing project

make the program easy for volunteers, and to assure security and safety for the students.

“Because it’s moderated through the internet, in terms of privacy and safety, you’ll know the first name of your student and the grade, but not the school.

If you know the name of the school it doesn’t encourage the safety aspect of it,” says Gongaware.

All volunteer registration, a volunteer background check, discounted book ordering, teacher support, and e–Pen Pal correspondence for In2Books is handled through the national program’s website. Savannah–specific information and Frequently Asked Questions are handled through a newly set up local site, in2bookssavannah.org, that’s linked to the national network.

“It would be natural to make sure you set up the volunteers through the computer,’ says Jones. ”If you can’t do the set up [registration and “getting to know you” letter] then you probably won’t be able to do the e–pal letters.”

Jones, a chemical engineer, was on the Savannah advisory board last year and is leading the charge to “go out into the community and get e–pals.” This year, they’ve signed up 27 classes in five schools, so that there are teacher support teams for In2Books for every participating class, and no teacher is the

lone class in his or her school.

“We’ve done teacher mentors and professional development this year. Every teacher knows exactly what they’re getting into,” says Gongaware.

Now Jones and Gongaware are making the rounds speaking at businesses, civic groups, churches, anywhere there might be a potential e–pen pal.

On the Savannah website is the long list of local businesses, universities, and organizations who have provided funding and volunteers to the local effort. There’s a letter of support from Dr. Thomas Lockamy, superintendent of the school system. And there are video testimonials from Savannah celebrities including Stratton Leopold, “Executive Producer and Ice Cream Maker,” and Jamie and Jack Deen, “Chef and Father, Son and Future Chef.”

But the celebrities aren’t the point– Christopher is. “By the end you could tell that he had learned something, in that his letters were more complex,” says Gongaware. “You could see that he had taken control of the [letter writing] structure and the paragraphing, and what he wanted to say.

“There was a little moment where the light bulb came on for him. I could see him go, ‘Wait a minute. I can do this.’ ” Sign up as an e–Pen Pal at In2Books.com

Police Dept. incident reports

What a tangled web we weave

Officers were dispatched to a reported fight on the corner of Fahm and Zubly Streets. At the scene, they found a white male in a dress shirt yelling at a homeless man.

The homeless fellow was telling the other guy to stay away from him, and the white guy was yelling that he wanted his money back. The officer separated the two and attempted to get their stories.

The white guy appeared to be intoxicated and he had red, discolored skin around his left eye, consistent with being punched.

He claimed that he had tried to call a cab on his cell phone and had been waiting near MLK when the man approached him, dragged him by the shirt toward Yamacraw and began punching him in the face. The guy then said that he handed the other guy $20 and he stopped punching him and walked away. The officer checked the guy’s

cell phone and saw that there was no call made to cab company. The officer asked about the inconsistency in his story and the man said that someone at the bar had called the cab for him. The guy in the dress shirt told another officer who arrived on the scene that he was lost when, for some reason he could not explain, he ran away from the homeless guy outside of the bar and then gave him some money, although he couldn’t remember how much.

The homeless guy, who also appeared to be intoxicated, told the officers that he had never seen the white guy until he ran up to him in Yamacraw, near Bryan and Fahm, and asked him to help him buy cocaine. He told police he had no idea how the guy’s eye had gotten swollen, and the officer noted that he had no swelling or cuts on his fists. When officers searched the homeless guy, they found no money on him.

Officers then went and spoke to the doorman at the bar, who said that he thought he’d interrupted a drug deal between the two men in the bathroom earlier. He heard them talking about money, and then the homeless guy ran out. A few minutes later, the white guy came out and asked the doorman if he’d seen his friend,

who the doorman assumed to be the homeless guy. He said no one called the guy a cab either. The officer asked the guy about inconsistencies in his story, and he said he just wanted his $20 back.

• A man walked in the Pennysaver office and met with an employee who worked there. She asked if she could assist him, at which time he stated, “yeah, you can have these back,” and threw a stack of newspapers at her. He then ran out the door, yelling, “now clean that up.” The woman tried to catch him, but he jumped into a vehicle waiting outside the door and sped off. She took a photo of the license plate with a cell phone camera which clearly showed the tag number. The newspapers had apparently been collected from several people’s yards. A check of the business’ records showed that the man had never requested to be removed from the delivery list. No injuries were incurred during the incident. The paper thrower was charged with disorderly conduct.

• An EMT with the Southside Fire Dept. missed his first day on the job when his car rolled into the river at the Houlihan Boat Ramp and became submerged. A local fisherman found the submerged vehicle and notified local authorities. A wallet was found at the boat ramp, and the identification matched the name to whom the vehicle was registered. A sonar scan of the nearby waters was done to ensure that the missing person hadn’t drowned. Several hours later, the man was spotted near an industrial park in Port Wentworth. He was transported to the hospital for treatment of some minor scrapes and bruises. No word on how exactly his car rolled into the water, or what he was doing at the boat ramp so early in the morning. cs

news of the weird Updates

• In 2007 News of the Weird highlighted the clothes cults of impoverished Congo: “In (the country that) has lost an estimated 4 million people in the civil wars of the last decade and where many must get by on about 30 cents a day, ‘gangs’ of designer-clothes-wearing men” have fashion smackdowns in the streets of Kinshasa to prove that Versace and Gucci styles look better on them than on others.

These “sapeurs” (from the French slang for clothes) continue to strut their genuine Gaultier and Dolce & Gabbana, according to a March Washington Post dispatch. One sapeur, “Luzolo,” who lives in a one-room shack with no bed, no water and no electricity (but a closetful of designer outfits) describes the feeling as “like a spirit that comes in me.” When he wears “the labels,” he said, “I feel there is no one above me.”

• Again this year, in April, the Sensoji Temple in Tokyo hosted the possibly400-year-old Naki Sumo (“crying baby contest”), in which infants are blessed to good health by having sumo wrestlers hoist them into the air, hold them at arm’s length, and coax them (no squeezing!) to cry, thus signaling that the offering has been heard. This year, 80 babies were glorified, with spiritual favors afforded those who cried the loudest and the longest.

• In 2007, News of the Weird mentioned the nightly ceremony on the India-Pakistan border at Wagah Crossing as part pomp, part macho posturing and part Monty Python (“Ministry of Silly Walks”), in which troops from both sides wearing hard-to-describe headgear perform complicated boot-stomping maneuvers

• Japanese ice-cream makers are famous for expanding the universe of flavors but a gathering by the fashion/style website The Gloss in July found several more, suggesting that maybe the world is about to run out of ingredients that can go into ice cream: haggis ice cream (from Morelli’s in London), sardines and brandy ice cream (from Helader a de Lares in Venezuela), caviar ice cream (Petrossian in New York City) and foie gras ice cream (Philippe Faur in Toulouse, France, about $150).

• In several regions of the African nation of Cameroon, parents try to keep maturing daughters off the market by “ironing” their breasts (pressing them with heated stones and leaves to make them flatter and the girls thus less desirable for sex). The practice reached world media (and News of the Weird) in 2006 as part of a condemnation campaign by the United Nations, but apparently it continues unabated, according to new videos circulated this year and described in The Washington Post in March.

According to that writer, who interviewed numerous health officials in Cameroon, the practice apparently has little effect, in that the teenage pregnancy rate remains very high. cs By chuck shepherd UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

Over the last two decades, the profession of physical therapy has encountered extraordinary growth and popularity. These changes inspired the profession to create a list of objectives to help identify the role of physical therapy in the health care community, as well as the scope of physical therapy practice.

Two of these objectives include; being the practitioners of choice for musculoskeletal conditions, and to identify the role of physical therapy within the healthcare community as a primary care providers.

As of this publication, 45/50 state practice acts as well as Washington D.C., allow for direct access to physical therapy services without the need of a referral; including the state of Georgia!

This recognizes that physical therapists are experts in the examination and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, and are qualified to screen for conditions out of the scope of physical therapy practice.

One of our primary care responsibilities within the healthcare community includes assessment of health and fitness levels, as a means of preventative care. If we can recognize those patients at risk for cardiovascular disease, we can help to educate and treat them and actually provide the tools to REVERSE the adverse effects of inactivity. This can also help reduce the patient’s risk of a serious event, while limiting the overall costs of healthcare.

What does all of this mean to you?

The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) defines “wellness” as “the concepts that embrace positive health behaviors that promote a state of physical and mental balance and fitness.” This concept has gained increasing attention over the past several years, as studies have identified a link between activity and fitness levels, wellness and

Find

overall mortality.

The APTA also defines “fitness” as a “dynamic physical state – comprising cardiovascular /pulmonary endurance; muscle strength, power, endurance and flexibility; relaxation; and body composition – that allows optimal and efficient performance of daily and leisure activities. Physical therapists are trained in the evaluation and treatment of health and wellness statuses.

In general, exercise does not cause cardiovascular complications in healthy individuals, but there are increased risks to those with underlying cardiovascular disease. Therefore, it is important to see a physical therapist to determine your risk prior to increasing your physical activity level. If we determine that you will require more monitoring to safely evaluate your exercise capacity, we will recommend you see your physician or cardiologist.

According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), there are several benefits to regular physical activity and exercise. They include improvement in cardiovascular and respiratory function, reduction in coronary artery disease risk factors, and decreased morbidity and mortality.

Other benefits include reduction of anxiety and depression, enhanced physical function and independent living in older persons, enhanced feelings of well–being, enhanced performance of work, recreational and sports activities, reduced risk of falls and injuries from falls in older individuals, prevention or mitigation of functional limitations in older adults, and it is effective therapy for many chronic adult diseases. cs Bryan Kist is a clinic director for Spine & Sport, a locally owned and operated physical therapy practice serving greater Savannah.

WEDNESDAY

BIG GIGANTIC

At 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 3 Live Wire Music Hall, 307 W. River St. $12 advance, $15 day of show.

Boulder, Colo.’s dynamic duo of Dominic Lalli (saxophone) and Jermy Salken (drums). Big Gigantic is an elecronica, hip hop and jazz fusion band that utilizes loops, samples, synths and sizzling creative beats, with the live drums and sax laid over the top. It’s an exciting, trippy musical experience that doesn’t seem as if it could be coming from just two guys. The band’s second album, A Place Behind the Moon, is out this week.

Also on this Live Wire bill: The legendary DJ Logic, whose collaborations with famous rock, jam and jazz musicians is the stuff of legend, and the eccentric Memphis–based rap duo Lord T and Eloise.

A splendid time is guaranteed for all!

THE LANDSHARKS

At the Tybee Island Beach Bash 7:30–11 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 5 at the Tybee Pier & Pavilion. Free.

Fins to the left, fins to the right: If it’s fun you’re after this Labor Day Weekend, then by God, Gary Roland intends to make sure you get ya some. The singer/guitarist fronts the Florida–based Landsharks, which prides itself on bringing that Parrothead feeling to the stage – that’s right, it’s all Buffett, pretty much all the time, celebratory and playful and as good–timey a band as you’re likely to find on any sun–kissed beach this holiday.

The group’s set list sometimes ranges out of Jimmyland for a tune or three – the likes of “La Bamba” or “Your Mama Don’t Dance.” You get the picture. Buffett himself actually joined the band onstage once, at a fan–fest in Key West. You probably shouldn’t expect that here. But there will be fireworks nevertheless.

JUSTICE YELDHAM

At 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 3 The Sentient Bean, 13 E. Park Ave. Free.

From the “Here’s something you don’t see every day” file: Australian performance artist Lucas Abela, a.k.a.

Justice Yeldham, has attached a microphone pickup to a large, broken sheet of clear glass. He presses it up against his face and makes music with the glass and his mouth.

That’s pretty much it.

In the live videos I’ve seen, his face and fingers bleed — performance art, remember? — as he literally lips and takes bites out of the glass edge. For a finale, he smashes the pane over his head and stalks offstage.

The music is sort of a cross between industrial electronica and a lawnmower.

“All my musical career, I’ve made different instruments and done a couple of performances with them, then thrown them aside,” Yeldham says. “At the moment, I think it’s important to continue with the glass ... because I’m getting better and getting more techniques, and more control over it as a noise instrument. Having control over a noise instrument is a miraculous thing to begin with; most noise artists don’t have any control at all. I’m really pleased with how it’s going.”

The Bean is tagging this show – with Solypsis – as “For Mature Audiences Only.”

Jason Marsalis votes to keep the music ‘moving forward’

by Bill DeYoung | bill@connectsavannah.com

In New Orleans music circles, if your last name is Marsalis (or, for that matter, Neville) you have a reputation to live up to.

Jason Marsalis is well aware that his family name carries certain expectations. The youngest of Ellis and Delores Ferdinand Marsalis’ six sons, the spotlight swung to him when he began playing jazz professionally at the age of 12. He’s 33 now, and clear of the shadow of his famous dad – and of his brothers Wynton, Delfeayo and Branford.

He’s an expressive, innovative drummer, and composer, and a restlessly creative musician, and on Sunday he’ll introduce a new quintet at a concert inside the Mansion on Forsyth Park. With this group, Marsalis plays the vibraphone.

(The Jason Marsalis Quintet also has a gig Friday and Saturday nights at the Jazz Corner in Hilton Head.)

Recently, heads turned and eyes bugged when Marsalis made a tongue–in–cheek “public service announcement,” in the form of an online video, in which he railed against “Jazz Nerds International,” young musicians who are into pushing the boundaries of jazz for what he believes are all the wrong reasons.

Your mantra has always been “jazz has got to keep moving forward.”

What do you mean?

Jason Marsalis: If anything, there are probably those who are accusing me of trying to move it backwards right now!

I’ve caused a lot of buzz lately in the jazz world because of this Internet video. The thing about it is, the music is always going to move forward. It may not be in mainstream culture right now, but it’s always going to move forward, and there’s always going to be people bringing in other ideas. So it’s going to happen whether we want it to or not.

The video has to do with music students who reduce the music of jazz to an intellectual exercise. And they’re only attracted to the abstract elements of the music. That’s all it is.

For example, if a nerd was to hear the music of James Brown, their response would probably be “Oh, this has two chords. So what?” They’re not gonna get that there’s a strong groove, and that there’s people dancing to it. All they want to hear is the complex elements while ignoring the simple elements.

There’s music students like that all the time.

Jason Marsalis is the youngest of Ellis and Delores Ferdinand Marsalis’ six sons.

Jason Marsalis: Exactly. My whole point is that there’s a lot of things that jazz music can do, and will do. Whether it has to do with swingin’ out, or a groove, or a ballad, or mellow or angry, there’s a lot of emotions that the music has. My view is that all of those moods should be explored.

But the nerd tends to look at one thing: How can we play as abstract and innovative as possible, and we’re not interested in anything else. Because it’s already been done, and we need to move on as quick as possible.

Why did you start playing vibes? You’ve described the instrument as “melodic percussion” – was it a logical step from the drums?

Jason Marsalis: I wanted to do it because there was a lot with vibes that hadn’t been said. There’s a lot that has been contributed, but there’s much more to be done. There haven’t been as many jazz vibraphonists as there have been jazz trumpet players, or jazz saxophonists, or jazz pianists.

There’s other possibilities with that instrument that you cannot explore on drums. Now I will say that on drums, there’s vocabulary that can be contributed in terms of rhythm, and in terms of space – which not a lot of drummers are really addressing.

But with vibes, there’s a lot that you can do with a melody that you can’t do with drums. A lot of the songs that I write for my vibes group, it’s different from the music I write if I’m playing drums leading a group. Because I have the melody, and I have to be sure I’m playing the melody correctly. With drums, that isn’t the case.

Why do you think some people find a direct line to music, as opposed to, say, dreaming of becoming a doctor or some other career?

Jason Marsalis: The stories I’ve heard are that I was into music as a kid, I mean age 3. According to my parents, I was just loving music as a toddler.

As I grew up, my brothers were making records – and I actually liked those records – and after a while I started to love the drums. And I wanted to play the drums.

I was around it a lot, but I believed it and I wanted to contribute something to it.

And being in the city of New Orleans, there’s a lot of music and culture that isn’t available in other places. In defense of those jazz nerds, they don’t get a lot of access to jazz as a fun music; jazz as a way to make people dance.

You had a family name to live up to.

Did your parents ever say “Aw, you’re just the little brother”?

Jason Marsalis: Not in the music sense.

Now, in the life sense, that’s a little bit of a different story!

I think it’s because I played a rhythm section instrument. So if anything, that was seen as being different from Wynton and Branford. From what I was told.

That’s one. Two, I had the belief and talent in music at a very early age.

Talking with Tom Cheshire of Atlanta’s All Night Drug Prowling Wolves

by Patrick Rodgers | patrick@connectsavannah.com

The All Night Drug Prowling Wolves are far more than just an anthropomorphic lifestyle choice. The quartet makes the kind of uncomplicated, riff–driven pub rock that was bread and butter for late ‘70s, first wave punk acts like the Clash, the Replacements or Social Distortion.

The group released its second album, Make It Right, this week and they’re coming to Savannah to celebrate in style with a show at Jinx on Saturday, Sept. 4 alongside Niche (Savannah) and G.G. King (Atlanta).

The songs on the new record are catchy, pure and simple, with the focus on strong hooks and melodies. This isn’t the raging thrash of early Bad Brains, nor is it the power pop “punk” of Blink 182.

It’s the kind of music that makes you want to take a shot of whiskey, hoist your beer in the air, throw your arm around someone and sing along.

We caught up with lead singer Tom Cheshire by phone last week to talk about the new album, the origins of the band’s name, and the magical power of music to make you live longer.

The origins of ANDPW “I moved from New York City to Atlanta almost 20 years ago now. I met Marlow Sanchez (ANDPW’s guitar player) probably 16 or 17 years ago, and we formed a band called the Rent Boys.

That band broke up and we went different ways.

I ran into Marlow a few years ago. He basically had this idea, and he had the band name, the All Night Drug Prowling Wolves. He said he’d been working on some guitar riffs and he wanted to get back together with me and write some songs.”

The band name “The name is the last line of a Clash song, ‘White Man in Hammersmith Palais,’ and the Clash have always been an influence on me and Marlow. When Marlow wanted to call the band that name I was totally cool with it. I think when we wrote that first record, it was very much us trying to write our version of a Clash record.”

The new record “The title of the record, Make It Right, is pretty autobiographical. We have our ups and our downs. We’ve messed up a lot of things, relationships and stuff, and we’re just trying to fix them....

When people ask me what they should do with this record, I say, whatever your favorite beverage is, whether it’s a pint of Guinness or a glass of cheap red wine, put the record on, hopefully with someone you care about. It’s on vinyl. It comes with a lyric sheet. Enjoy your drink and chill out.

Read it. It tells a story... It really does document certain things we’ve all gone through.”

Songwriting “The greatest songs always kind of write themselves. I like to write songs and I love music.

Why do I write the kind of songs I write? Because I write the kind of songs I’d listen to. I’m a big fan

of words. I’m a big fan of poetry in music. I’m a big fan of hooks. I’m a big fan of raising my glass in the air and singing along. I hear songs I wrote 20 years ago and I cringe. I just hope I’m getting better at this craft, and I’m writing songs that, if I hear them in 20 years, I’ll really like them.”

Playing in Savannah “Our old band, Rent Boys, were kind of a favorite pub band in Savannah. We played there several St. Patrick’s Days that were insane and debaucherous in the mid ’90s. We probably played there 15 times. When Prowling Wolves started getting going, the folks over at the Jinx said they’d love to have us. When we play we draw some folks. Since we’ve been playing there for years, we’re friends and fans of other local musicians — Kylesa and Damage, we knew them from the ‘90s and even though our music sounds different doesn’t mean we’re not big fans of each other. It’s always nice to see Phil [Cope] and those guys. If we’re out on tour and run into those guys we’ll always grab a few beers and catch up.”

Music and aging “I see myself in one form or another playing music until the day I die. I also hope that my continuing to do that will keep this light lit and keep me alive. I always think of places like Florida.

Why are there wheelchair ramps everywhere?

These people in New York, they retire and they go to Florida. They were active their whole lives and then they go to Florida and two years later they’re in a wheelchair. I think if you’re busy, and you run around, jump around and sing songs, you might live a little bit longer.” cs All Night Drug Prowling Wolves, G.G. King, & Niche When: Saturday, Sept. 4, 10 p.m.

Books

Southern persistence paid off

by Bill DeYoung | bill@connectsavannah.com

How surprising to discover that one of America’s foremost writers of paranormal fiction is a grounded, completely sane and riotously funny woman. From Georgia, no less.

The books in Sherrilyn Kenyon’s ‘Dark-Hunter’ series are in print in 30 countries around the world. ‘No Mercy’ will be published Sept. 7.

Sherrilyn Kenyon, whose books have hit the top of the New York Times bestseller list an astonishing 12 times, writes about vampires, shapeshifters, immortal warrior–protectors, gods, goddesses and the other denizens of a violent (and utterly non–existent) world. More than 23 million copies of the books in her Dark–Hunter series are in print, in 30 countries around the world. Her fans are legion, and they are rabid.

Crossing the country to promote the latest installment, No Mercy, Kenyon will appear Sept. 8 at Barnes and Noble.

Kenyon grew up in Riverdale, a suburb of Atlanta, and her home life was tough. Her father left the family when Sherri was 8, leaving her mother to raise three kids by herself, including a younger sister with cerebral palsy.

Her most ardent supporter, her older brother, died 20 years ago under mysterious circumstances.

On the road to literary superstardom, one tragedy followed another; she lived, for a time, in a car with her husband and two children. Dealing with such things, Kenyon laughs, “just requires a whole lot of therapy.”

She’s able to joke about it now, but the scars remain.

Kenyon says she whole–heartedly believes in fate. “Ironically, that’s one of the big things I deal with in my books – what is pre–destined and what isn’t,” she offers. “I would still have been a writer. I was always a writer, so I think that I still would have found the path.

“My husband and I were both born at Fort Benning, and we didn’t meet till college, even though we knew a lot of the same people. Our dads were both in the Army; their paths crossed. It’s very weird. So I think I was definitely fated to meet my husband. I like to think things happen for a reason – I don’t know that I always believe that, but ...”

She credits her mother with opening the door to fantasy fiction, the occult – and horror movies. When Sherri was 4 years old, mom took her to see Night of the Living Dead.

“My mother was insane! She’s the kind of mom who, when my niece was 2 years old, she gave her a Chucky doll.

My mother was a character. She would scare the crap out of us – she would pretend to be possessed and chase us through the house.

“I look at my poor kids and tell them ‘You guys are wimps. You’d never have survived with your grandmother.’”

She started writing as a small child – in the fourth grade, she won an award from the Daughters of the American Revolution for an historical short story about a woman living in colonial times.

Her initial plan called for enrollment in SCAD, to learn to develop comic books. The college accepted her, she says, but she couldn’t afford the tuition.

Then came the University of Georgia.

“I actually started out as an English

irage The M Bar & Grill Med iter rane an

give up before it ever happens. And I’ve had to re–build my career three times.

I think it’s a lot more persistence than anything else.”

She chuckles at the suggestion that her persistence is a strong Southern trait. “I’m stubborn! Stubborn, baby! It’s ‘Don’t tell me no, honey.’”

Today, Kenyon and her husband – a native Savannahian – live in Nashville with their kids, ages 10, 14 and 15.

Her characters have minds of their own – she might have a plotting plan in mind for them, “but they tend to veer off. It’s like herding cats – ‘You were supposed to do that, come back here! I didn’t mean for you to die, I had plans for you! Damn it, you’re dead! I need duct tape!’”

And then there are the arch–fans.

“We get letters written to some of the characters,” Kenyon says. “I’ve had people asking for their telephone numbers.

They get Christmas cards every year.

In the beginning it was really kind of ... strange, but now it’s just kind of cool.

“It’s humbling. Because to me, they’re real people. They are like family, so it’s very humbling to know other people feel that way about ‘em.” CS Sherrilyn Kenyon Where: Barnes & Noble, Oglethorpe Mall When: At 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 8 Author’s website: sherrilynkenyon.com

major, but I fought with my professors,” Kenyon laughs. “I went from an A to a C on one paper, and after that I’m like ‘Time to find a new major.’

“I wanted to get into creative writing – they wouldn’t let me in. They told me I sucked. I then went over to journalism. I couldn’t pass the typing test because one of my hands is partially paralyzed. Back then, they had the old typewriters, and I can’t type for squat on those. So I never could get my speed up on it. Then I’m like ‘Well, OK, those two doors are closed to me.’”

She graduated with an interdisciplinary major that combined medieval history and language with Classical Studies, minoring in philosophy, psychology, and French.

“I found a home in History,” she says.

“I’ve always loved history, and they were nice to me in that department.”

At age 20, Kenyon began submitting stories to magazines, and published her first book, Born of the Night, in the mid90s. To date, she has published nearly 50 books, including 30 in the Dark–Hunter series. She also, for a time, wrote under the pen name Kinley McGregor.

“Luck,” she says, “is what you make.

Believe me, if there was a way to throw in the towel and be kicked down ... My teeth were kicked in doing this business – I’ve been doing it now 30 years and I’ve seen a lot of good writers who get a little bit of success and walk away or

tics – medium body, mild bitterness and lightly hopped refreshment.

Steelhead Double India Pale Ale delivers with a nice citrus nose and flavor and at 8.6 ABV wears its DIPA badge with honor. Still as doubles go, it’s meek.

Of the three, I think my favorite was Jamaica Red Ale. This bitter red ale is a perfect choice for chicken, crepes – think island food when you’re making the menu. Beautiful in the glass and with nice body, I grooved on its hoppy bitterness and clean finish.

Next week kids, I have a lovely, juicy, value–driven Cabernet Sauvignon for you. But this week, please indulge one more week of beer.

The story of craft beer pioneer Ken Grossman going from home brewer, to home brew supply dealer to founder of Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. is legendary among beer geeks. Grossman blazed the trail and set the bar for every little brewery that followed.

Today’s story is about one of those brewers.

Bob Smith bought home brewing supplies from Grossman’s Chico, Calif, shop. There, the two regaled one another with stories of their hops–fueled dreams – to open craft breweries in their home towns – Grossman in Chico and Smith in Humboldt County.

Grossman launched Sierra Nevada to immediate critical and commercial acclaim. In no time, he had outgrown his equipment – and remembered an old friend who just might be in the market.

Smith leaped at the chance, bought the equipment and, in December 1990, delivered his first keg of Mad River Brewing Co. Steelhead Extra Pale Ale. The rest, as they say, is history.

Today, Mad River has two labels in Georgia – Steelhead

If you really taste something you like, rush out Monday early to buy more. What I’ve experienced the past two years is, in the case of smaller package stores, a complete sell out of their craft beer choices.

Terrapin Side Project and Jamaica Brand. Production that began with 1,500 barrels per year has climbed to an impressive 10,000 barrels a year.

I sampled three of the beers and give ’em a solid B+. It’s good beer, nicely crafted beer but lacks the subtle character of its more exquisite competitors. Ultimately, your palate is the final judge – and I do recommend you give Mad River beers a try.

Po–Boys

When this little off–downtown eatery opened about a year ago I gave it a try. I was turned off by the overly enthusiastic menu, slow service and ho–hum fare.

I went back this week to find a leaner, more efficient menu, a real penchant for doing things from scratch and a survivor’s attitude.

I was assuming the sliced, deep–fried pickles were from the same SYSCO foods box as every other eatery. I was wrong.

The pickles get homemade breading and are served piping hot with cooling Ranch dip or kick–yer–behind Texas Pete.

No mate, THIS is a DIPA! Athens–based Terrapin Beer will pour four brews at the festival, but on your next beer expedition, check out Side Project Volume 12, Hopzilla. This limited release, bold–ass double IPA packs 110 IBUs (International Bitterness Units) and 10.7 percent ABV. It’s probably best to share this 22–ouncer with a friend – and don’t operate heavy machinery. Resinous, citrusy and alarmingly refreshing, Hopzilla’s powerhouse grapefruit characteristics makes it a winner to sip alone – or pair Hopzilla with spicy foods, a shrimp boil or an oyster roast. cs

He picks some experiences every week to share:

My little sampler of fry goods also offered crispy Mozarella sticks with marinara sauce and a tastefully done sweet potato French fry – dusted with a hint of sugar to bring out the natural sugars.

When I learned that owner Darrell Hearne smokes his own meats, I had to sample the pulled pork Po’Boy. I asked for sauce on the side, in this case a black molasses sauce that was nicely sweet, mildly bitter and just the right touch.

The huge Mufaletta–style bun wrapped around a sandwich that I shouldn’t have, but couldn’t avoid finishing, due to its size. That, ladies and gentlemen, was a

sandwich.

The menu offers a variety of Po’Boy sandwiches, including classic versions made with fresh, fried oysters or shrimp.

There’s also a huge selection of Muffaletta sandwiches, salads, appetizers and, wow, a large number of choices for vegetarians.

The neat–as–a–pin dining room offers plenty of seating – but the restaurant’s stock in trade seems to be its robust carry–out business. Space does not allow me to delve into the extensive menu, instead, check it out online at www.po–boy.com.

Still more Magnolias

HourS: Mon-Thur 11am-10:30pm • Fri 11am-11pm Sat 12pm-11pm • Sun 12pm-10pm

Apparently, we can never have too many steel magnolias.

Hot on the heels of the City of Savannah’s auditions for its Oct. 1–10 production of Robert Harling’s tragicomic play Steel Mangolias, the Tybee Arts Association has announced its own Steel Magnolias, with auditions set for 7 p.m. Sept. 6 and 7 at the Tybee Arts Center.

There cast list calls for six Louisiana women – delicate as magnolias, Harling describes them, but tough as steel.

According to Tybee Arts spokeswoman Renee DeRossett, the group has been considering putting on the Harling play for nearly a year, although it hadn’t been publicly announced, and news of the Savannah production did not deter them.

Although they (briefly) thought about changing their plans, says DeRossett, Tybee and Savannah are two different audiences. “And we’ve got a hundred people out here who want those six roles.”

The Tybee Arts Association’s Steel Magnolias will be onstage for the first two weekends in November.

Mike Marshall ought to just buy a house in Savannah, he comes here so often. The California–based master mandolin innovator, a guest at nearly every Savannah Music Festival, returns

Oct. 22 for a concert at the Lucas Theatre.

He’s guest–performing with San Francisco’s Turtle Island Quartet, a group he’s been collaborating with for years and years. Turtle Island is famous for stretching the boundaries of both chamber music and straight–ahead acoustic music, ignoring such things as style and label limits to create a vibrant new sound.

That’s what Marshall’s always been about, too.

Not long ago, he was in the studio with Turtle Island recording an entire album of Jimi Hendrix songs for mandolin and strings (Have You Ever Been ...?).

realizes that there is indeed something wrong with the girl, but is it merely psychological trauma or is Satan really hanging around?

Propelled by unexceptionally fine performances from Fabian and Bell, this creepy yarn builds to a powerhouse ending that would be even stronger were it not so choppy and truncated. In fact, too many unanswered questions prevent this movie from soaring to even greater heights. Still, as a deftly executed piece of unsettling cinema, it’s only fair to give Daniel Stamm – and the devil – their due.

The Last Exorcism The prospect of journeying to Hell and back seemed less daunting than sitting through another horror yarn made in the faux–documentary style of The Blair Witch Project, but The Last Exorcism proves to be a pleasant surprise – even more so since Hostel gorehound Eli Roth is listed as one of the film’s producers.

Unlike Roth’s hard–R outings as a director, The Last Exorcism is rated PG–13, but don’t let that debatable rating give the false impression that this is one for the whole family to enjoy. Director Daniel Stamm uses the fake cinema verite style to milk a lot of tension out of this feature in which the charismatic and cynical Cotton Marcus (Patrick Fabian), a reverend who no longer believes what he preaches, takes along a two–person documentary crew to perform an exorcism in some remote Louisiana hellhole, to prove conclusively that exorcisms are bogus (he employs a smoking crucifix and iPod–emanating growls in his act) and merely prey upon the superstitions of rubes.

Cotton thinks he’s found a perfect showcase as devout farmer Louis Sweetzer (Louis Herthum) insists that it’s his sweet and innocent teenage daughter Nell (Ashley Bell) who’s causing the livestock mutilations while being demonically possessed. After some initial scoffing, Cotton

Of all the actors who broke through in the 1960s, Robert Duvall is one of the great ones, ranking up there with Gene Hackman and Michael Caine. Yet with rare exception, it’s hard to think of a great Robert Duvall performance following his career–topper in the 1989 TV miniseries Lonesome Dove. Even his most acclaimed work since then, such as his Oscar–nominated turns in The Apostle and A Civil Action, hardly seems like a stretch for a man of his considerable talents. Duvall’s usually incapable of delivering a performance that’s less than acceptable, but his rigid devotion to the image of the folksy Southern sage does mean that he’s long lost the ability to surprise.

Get Low, then, finds Duvall in familiar territory, playing a 1930s Tennessee hermit who has the luxury of speaking little and choosing his words wisely since he’s invariably always the smartest one in the room. His character, Felix Bush, has lived in self–imposed exile for decades, untroubled by the ugly rumors perpetuated by the nearby townspeople. But Felix needs help

to pull off his unique idea – he wants a funeral party thrown for him while he’s still living, so he can attend it and finally reveal his deep, dark secret – so he turns to the town’s shady funeral home director, Frank Quinn (Bill Murray), and Frank’s honest assistant Buddy (Lucas Black) to handle the preparations. As the men try to figure out how to pull this off, Felix takes some time out to visit former flame Mattie Darrow (Sissy Spacek).

Felix’s unburdening of his secret to a mob of partygoers (how radical these days to see a non– CGI–created crowd scene) feels anticlimactic given the lengthy buildup, and the plot points directly tied to this event – flashbacks, testy relationships with old acquaintances – stir little interest. Where the movie succeeds in its ability to successfully pit Duvall’s no–nonsense Felix against Murray’s calculating Frank. Rather than appearing out of place in this rustic setting, Murray flourishes, relying on his trademark wit and deadpan delivery to not only bring out the best in Duvall but also to frequently one–up him.

An Oscar campaign is guaranteed to be built around Duvall, but it’s really Murray who allows Get Low to hit its high notes.

The Switch A vile scenario doesn’t necessarily have to translate into a vile movie, providing there’s some objective or empathy on the part of the filmmakers. Gaspar Noe’s 2002 French release Irreversible, for example, centers around arguably the most brutal rape sequence ever committed to celluloid, but several factors, specifically Noe’s continues on p. 30

decision to tell the story in reverse (thus delineating the heartbreaking – and commonplace – circumstances that could have prevented the tragedy), provide the picture with a purpose and keep it out of the exploitation zone.

Then there’s the case of The Switch.

Deciding that Jeffrey Eugenides’ short story would be perfect for expanding into a wacky comedy, the film’s creators – the Blades of Glory directing team of Josh Gordon and Will Speck, writer Allan Loeb and Jennifer Aniston herself (she serves as an executive producer) – ran with the premise of Jennifer Aniston as a single woman who badly wants a baby. Aniston’s Kassie Larson opts to go the route of a sperm donor, despite the objections of her best friend Wally Mars (Jason Bateman). Wally, a whiny neurotic who’s secretly smitten with Kassie, thinks it’s an awful idea – not so awful, though, that he doesn’t volunteer his own sperm (Kassie politely declines). Kassie’s sperm donor turns out to be a hunky athlete named Roland (Patrick Wilson), but through circumstances too mind–numbingly stupid to detail here, a drunken Wally accidental-

ly spills the filled baby–batter cup and elects to replace the lost content with his own seed (produced while masturbating to a picture of Diane Sawyer).

The pregnant Kassie soon leaves town; cut to seven years later, when she returns with young Sebastian (Thomas Robinson) in tow. Wally immediately notices that Sebastian shares many of his characteristics and habits, and he slowly recalls the hazy details of seven years ago; Kassie, on the other hand, remains dumb as a brick and will need Wally to spell it out for her. But of course, he’s too scared to tell her the truth, so much hilarity ensues. Or not.

Did none of the filmmakers – or the (mostly women) audience members at my screening – not realize that Wally’s action of implanting his unwanted sperm into Kassie qualifies as a form of rape? If the movie ever seriously addressed this issue beyond some ever–so–modest poo–pooing by Wally’s boss and confidant (a deadpan Jeff Goldblum, the film’s lone bright spot), then it would warrant some modicum of respect, but everything is played at an inane sitcom level, and we’re supposed

to cheer Wally on as he incessantly tries to bag his woman (shouldn’t he be going to jail instead?).

Strip away the ramifications of the plot and The Switch is merely one more failed Aniston rom–com bomb. But add it back in and we’re talking about a fairly revolting piece of work.

NANNY MCPHEE RETURNS Considering that 2005’s Nanny McPhee hasn’t exactly established itself on this side of the Atlantic as a family classic, there’s nothing about the title Nanny McPhee Returns to suggest that this sequel will fare any better. Perhaps Universal Pictures would have been wise to keep the film’s original British moniker, Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang, in the hopes that a few ill–informed folks stateside would mistake it for a softcore romp and hand over their hard–earned dollars.

Certainly, this children’s tale could use more bang for the filmgoer’s buck, relating an occasionally clever but often daft yarn about the efforts of the title character (again played by Emma

Thompson) to help a struggling mother (Maggie Gyllenhaal, affecting a fine English accent) with her brood while her husband’s off fighting in World War II. The children are all well–cast, but this overdoses on the saccharine: Watching CGI critters do supposedly cute things (a bird constantly belching, pigs engaging in synchronized swimming) isn’t exactly my cup of tea – English Breakfast, English Afternoon, or otherwise.

THE EXPENDABLES The Truth In Advertising award for the summer of 2010 goes to The Expendables, which employs (however unintentionally) its own title to push the fact that this is a disposable action film that will dissipate from memory almost immediately. Its primary – make that only – selling point is its large cast of macho action stars.

But the truth only goes as far as the marquee. As the leader of a group of mercenaries hired to take down a South American dictator, Sylvester Stallone is almost always front and center, but

VAMPIRES SUCK Go to the Internet Movie Database (www.IMDb.com) and you’ll find a section that lists the 100 worst movies ever made according to the site’s visitors. The writer–director team of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer is noteworthy in that three of their first four pictures – Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans and Disaster Movie – have all managed to place on that list (only Date Movie missed the cut). Having never seen any of these spoofs – none have been screened for critics, and other things in life held more interest than catching up with them – I initially took the online film community’s unshakable faith in awfulness with a grain of salt, since these folks are the same people who have voted The Shawshank Redemption the greatest movie of all time (in Internet vernacular, my response to that delusional claim is LOLOL! ROFL!).

In regards to the Friedberg–Seltzer tag team, though, sitting through Vampires Suck makes me believe that these filmgoers may have a point, and I imagine this latest turkey will shortly be giving the pair four titles in that Bottom 100.

Despite that blanket title, don’t expect any digs at Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee or Anne Rice, and True Blood and The Vampire Diaries are dismissed with one blink–and–you’ll–miss–it sight gag apiece. No, this is strictly all–Twilight–

all–the–time, with the focus squarely on Stephenie Meyer’s franchise phenomenon. Thus, in the town of Sporks, we find Becca Crane (Jenn Proske, the best thing in the movie) falling for the sparkly vampire Edward Sullen (Matt Lanter), with wolfboy Jacob White (Chris Riggi) sniffing at her heels with a bad case of puppy love.

While I’ve already seen worse movies than Vampires Suck this year, it’s doubtful I’ll see another as lazily constructed as this one – even a homemade YouTube video simply capturing a dog chasing its own tail displays more effort and imagination than what passes for entertainment here.

Because this is an obvious ploy to con money out of all the Twilight haters out there, Friedberg and Seltzer don’t even try to come up with clever ways to mock the material in the biting manner of, say, MAD magazine or early Zucker– Abrahams–Zucker. Instead, they merely plop down some sequence practically lifted wholesale from Twilight or The Twilight Saga: New Moon, add a gross–out gag, a piece of knockabout humor or a pop culture reference that will seem hopelessly dated in just a few years, and leave it at that.

A couple of lines manage to tickle the brain but don’t quite reach the corners of the mouth (needless to say, nothing here will elicit an actual belly laugh), leaving us with desperate humor along the lines of Becca’s father (Diedrich Bader) passing his blowup sex doll off as his daughter’s new mom, or Jacob lifting his leg to urinate on a fire hydrant, or Lady Gaga/Kardashian/Jersey Shore shout–outs that add nothing but more embarrassment for all concerned.

those expecting him to share significant screen time with fellow Big Boys Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger will be disappointed that the other two are only in one scene. And really, is it that big a deal to have a cast that includes Steve Austin, Randy Couture and Terry Crews? These guys would line up for a straight–to–DVD American Pie sequel if asked.

Nobody goes to this type of movie for the acting, but given the lack of excitement in most of the action scenes (more mano–a–mano skirmishes would have better served the film rather than the ceaseless gunfire and explosions), there’s little else to discuss. Faring best are Jason Statham as Stallone’s right–hand man – the actor’s natural charisma counts for a lot in the midst of all these stone faces – and Mickey Rourke in a nicely understated turn as a former member of Stallone’s squad.

Delivering the worst performance is Dolph Lundgren, who apparently hasn’t learned a single thing after 25 years in the business.

Eat Pray Love Just for the record, not all porn flicks are of the X–rated variety. More palatable for mass consumption are the films that qualify as “food porn,” works that show off delectable dishes in all their mouthwatering glory (e.g. Babette’s Feast, Julie & Julia). Then there’s the “travel porn” branch, efforts that offer postcard perfection and entice moviegoers to blow their savings on airfare and overseas accommodations (Out of Africa, Under the Tuscan Sun).

With trips to Italy, India and Bali, Eat Pray Love easily qualifies as travel porn, and the first third of its title promises a fair amount of food porn as well. But whereas these labels often prove to be a superficial picture’s whole reason for be-

Hal Holbrook shines as elderly farmer who leaves a nursing home to return to the farm he owns.

Like the Jeff Bridges vehicle Crazy Heart, That Evening Sun is one of those films that generates nearly all of its goodwill from a smashing central performance by a long–established veteran. Here, it’s Hal Holbrook who shows up to demonstrate to Hollywood’s young pups how it’s done.

Holbrook plays Abner Meecham, an elderly Tennessee farmer who’s been dumped into a nursing home by his well–meaning but insensitive son (Walt Goggins). Having none of it, Abner bolts from the facility and returns to the property that he’s owned forever – only to discover that his son has rented it to Lonzo Choat (Ray McKinnon), a loutish redneck Abner has long abhorred. Of course, Lonzo and his family – meek wife Ludie (Carrie Preston) and restless daughter Pamela (Alice in Wonderland’s Mia Wasikowska) – have no intention of leaving, setting up a prickly, potentially violent feud between Abner and Lonzo.

Adapting William Gay’s story “I Hate to See That Evening Sun Go Down,” writer–director Scott Teems gives his actors plenty of room to roam: McKinnon manages to inject his crude character with flashes of civility, while Barry Corbin is memorable in his few scenes as Abner’s longtime friend. Yet this is first and foremost a showcase for Holbrook, and it’s a shame that he has to contend with some poor late–inning plotting – specifically, an obvious climax and a cop–out coda. These flaws aren’t enough to detract from his tough–minded performance, but I hate to see That Evening Sun go down in a burst of timidity. cs That Evening Sun screens Sunday, Sept. 5 at 5:30 p.m. and again at 8 p.m. at Muse Arts Warehouse, 703D Louisville Road. Tickets are $7 cash only for mature audiences. Brought to you in part by The Book Lady and Connect Savannah.

ing, more complex movies use them as mere window dressing on a story that’s already involving down to its core. Eat Pray Love, an adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbert’s memoir of the same name, joins the aforementioned pictures in this distinguished class.

I haven’t read Gilbert’s book, and it’s entirely possible that, in comparison, the film version seems about as complicated as an episode of Dora the Explorer. But on its own, this is a richly rewarding experience, following one woman’s journey both across the globe and within herself. Julia Roberts delivers her strongest performance since Erin Brockovich a full decade ago – as Liz Gilbert, she brings to the forefront the doubts, frustrations and longings inherent in a woman who soon realizes that she’s not content with her marriage or with her surroundings and elects to set out on new adventures.

Liz finds both spiritual and physical nourishment during her travels, but her lessons aren’t conveyed to us in the usual cookie–cutter platitudes; instead, the dialogue is frequently lyrical and lovely, never cheapening the thoughts or feelings being revealed.

In a summer dominated (as always) by male–skewering titles (everything from Sandler to Stallone), Eat Pray Love is certain to get dismissed in some quarters as Sex and the City 2’s sister in failed counter programming. But with its themes of self–discovery and its impressive roster of award–caliber actors (Javier Bardem, Richard Jenkins, Viola

Davis), it’s actually an intelligent movie for discernible grownups who wouldn’t be caught dead seeing Grown Ups.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is the movie Kick–Ass wishes it could be when it grows up. Thematically savvy, cinematically eye–popping, and infused with a here–and–now pop–culture specificity that’s part of the organic whole rather than just a cynical or faddish way to tackle the material, this adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s graphic novels isn’t just for the youthful gamers and gawkers – far from it.

Writer–director Edgar Wright, the British chap beloved by American filmgoers for Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, heads for North America (Toronto, to be exact) for this disarming yarn about an insecure 20–something (Michael Cera) who jams with a band when he’s not busy being chastised by friends and family for dating a high school student. Scott does enjoy the time spent with young Knives Chau (Ellen Wong), but his romantic focus shifts once he lays eyes on standoffish punker Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). Unceremoniously dumping Knives, he then pursues Ramona, who’s game but reluctantly informs him that in order to date her, Scott must first defeat all seven of her exes.

With the exception of run–ins with a swaggering movie star (Chris

Evans) and a pompous vegan (Brandon Routh), Scott’s video game–inspired battles with Ramona’s former lovers turn out, on balance, to be the least interesting parts of the movie – no surprise, given the unrelenting amount of bombastic CGI required to pull these sequences off. Where the film works best is in its attention to matters of the heart, whether it’s the love triangle between Scott, Ramona and Knives (Wong easily steals her ample scenes) or the universal message that every relationship comes with baggage that must be opened and sorted out before things can proceed smoothly.

Combining a giddy, sometimes campy approach to action with an earnest look at messy modern relationships, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World often feels like the unholy love child of TV’s 60s–era Batman and Chasing Amy – a melding I never thought I would see on this world or any other.

The Other Guys It makes perfect sense for a film like, say, An Inconvenient Truth or Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room to end with some sort of plea to our sense of activism or with a mountain of hard data about the evils of unchecked capitalism. But what to make of The Other Guys, featuring closing credits that are packed with statistics concerning government bailouts and the glaring discrepancy between the average

salaries of CEOs and the rest of us poor schmucks? No matter: The film’s ample laughs had already dried up long before this ode to Michael Moore muckraking.

That’s a shame, because for its first hour, The Other Guys is a very funny movie, as two desk cops, Allen Gamble (Will Ferrell) and Terry Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg), are provided a chance to step up once New York’s finest, the dynamic duo of Highsmith (Samuel L. Jackson) and Danson (Dwayne Johnson), are put out of commission.

Terry’s a hotheaded lawman who’s been itching to get back out on the streets, while Allen is a nerd who’s content sitting at his desk and doing other officers’ paperwork. But a rather commonplace charge against a Wall Street financier (Steve Coogan) inadvertently gets the pair involved in a high–stakes swindle that leaves them frequently being chewed out by their superior (Michael Keaton) or fired upon by assorted thugs.

Ferrell holds his excesses in check more than usual (though still not enough to my liking), and he and Wahlberg prove to be an amusing team – whether scripted or improvised, their banter is often top–grade. But humor largely vacates the building during the second half, as the emphasis is placed more on autopilot action sequences and, worse, a topical, torn–from–the– headlines scam that’s an ill – and dull – fit for this sort of raucous outing.

PSYCHO SUDOKU!

answers on page 44

“Kakuro” Fill in each square in this grid with a digit from 1 to 9. The sum of the digits in each row or column will be the little number given just to the left of or just above that row or column. As with a Sudoku, you can’t repeat any digits in a row or column. See the row of four squares in the upper-right with a 27 to the left of it?

That means the sum of the digits in those four squares will be 27, and they won’t repeat any digits. A row or column ends at a black square, so the two-square row in the upper-middle with a 7 to the left of it may or may not have digits in common with the 27-row to its right; they’re considered different rows because there’s a black square between them. Down columns work the same way. Now solve!! psychosudoku@hotmail.com

ARIES (March 21–April 19) In an old comedy sketch called “One Leg Too Few,” a one–legged man comes in to a casting agent’s office to audition for the part of Tarzan in an upcoming show. The agent is as diplomatic as he can be given the fact that the role would best be played by a strapping young man with exceptional running and leaping skills. “It’s possible that no two–legged men will apply,” the agent tells the applicant, “in which case you could get the part.” Don’t be like the one–legged man in this story, Aries. While I usually encourage you to think big and dream of accomplishing amazing feats, this is one time when you should respect your limitations.

TAURUS (April 20–May 20) As I was meditating on your horoscope for this week, a song popped into my head: Marvin Gaye’s “Sexual Healing.” I instantly knew it was a message from my unconscious, meant to be delivered to your unconscious –– a perfect action plan for you to pursue in order to be in maximum alignment with the astrological omens.

I encourage you to come up with your own interpretation of what “sexual healing” means for you, maybe even write your own lyrics.

If you’d like to listen to the original for inspiration, go here tinyurl.com/SexHealing. P.S. You don’t necessarily need a partner to conjure up the cure.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20) You probably get emails that close like this: “Sent from my iPhone.”

Maybe you even deliver emails like that yourself. Keep that detail in mind while I tell you the dream I had last night. In the dream, all of my Gemini friends had sent me poignant emails. Every one of them said something like, “I’ve got to get back to where I started from” or “There’s something really important that I’ve got to do, but I can’t remember what it is” or “I hear a voice calling my name but I don’t know who it is or where it’s coming from.” And each of their emails ended like this: “Sent from my iSoul.” I suspect my dream is in perfect accordance with your astrological omens, Gemini. It’s time to go home, in every sense of the word.

CANCER (June 21–July 22) My name was “Robbie” from

birth till seventh grade. But as my adolescent hormones began to kick in, I decided I needed a more virile stature. My name became the punchier, sleeker “Rob.” But with every year that passes, I find myself heading back in the direction of “Robbie.” The clever severity of my youth yearns to meld with the buoyant tenderness I’ve been cultivating the past decade. I want my paradoxes to harmonize –– my blithe feminine qualities to cooperate with my aggressive masculine side, my bright–eyed innocence to synergize with my restless probing.

So you can call me “Robbie” if you like, or “Rob,” or sometimes one and sometimes the other. Isn’t it time for you, too, my fellow Cancerian, to circle back and reclaim an early part of you that got lost along the way?

LEO (July 23–Aug. 22) The Clash was a leftwing punk band that launched its career in 1979. With its dissident lyrics and experimental music, it aspired to make an impact on political attitudes. But then one of its songs, “Rock the Casbah,” got so popular that college fraternity parties were playing it as feel–good dance music. That peeved the Clash’s lead singer Joe Strummer, born under the sign of Leo. He didn’t want his revolutionary anthems to be used as vulgar entertainment by bourgeois kids. I sympathize with his purity, but I don’t advocate that approach for you. For now, relinquish control of your offerings.

Let people use them the way they want to.

VIRGO (Aug. 23–Sept. 22) “The trouble with life isn’t that there is no answer; it’s that there are so many answers,” said folklorist Ruth Benedict. That’s always true, of course, but it’s especially apropos for you right now. You’re teeming with viable possibilities.

There are so many decent ideas eddying in your vicinity that you may be hard–pressed to pick out just a couple to give your power to.

My advice: Let them all swarm and swirl for a few more days, then go with the ones that you feel will last the longest.

LIBRA (Sept. 23–Oct. 22) Jack Mytton was a famous 19th– century eccentric whose wealth and privilege often shielded him from the consequences of his odd behavior. One of his less successful

adventures came on a night when he got a bad case of the hiccups.

Thinking he could scare himself into being cured, he set fire to his pajamas. In the ensuing mayhem, his hiccups disappeared but he burned himself. I bring this to your attention, Libra, in the hope it will dissuade you from attacking a small problem in a way that causes a bigger problem. For now it’s better to endure a slight inconvenience. Don’t seek a quick fix that causes a complicated mess.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23–Nov. 21) In accordance with the astrological omens, Scorpio, I will ask you to make everything wetter; to be the personification of fluidity. Where there is drought, use your magic to bring the rain. If you’re stuck in a dynamic that is parched and barren, add moisture and tenderness.

Be ingenious, not rash, as you stir up dormant feelings in people you care about. Remind those who are high and dry about the river that runs through them. (A good way to do that is to reveal the river that runs through you.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22–Dec. 21) Gwyneth Paltrow is the most perfect person alive, said Gawker.com.

From a certain perspective, I suppose it’s possible to award her that title. She’s beautiful, rich, famous, and in good shape. She’s a talented actress and published author. Without denying that Gwyneth is a gem, however, I must say that my standards of perfection are different.

Are you doing the work you love?

Are you engaged in ongoing efforts to transform your darkness? Do you practice compassion with wit and style? Are you saving the world in some way? Are you skilled at taking care of yourself? Those are my primary measures. What are yours, Sagittarius? It’s an excellent time to define your ideal human.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22–Jan. 19) In an old Star Trek episode, a 24th–century starship captain is weighed down by a knotty problem about how to deal with two of her enemies who are at war with each other. Unable to come up with a viable solution, she retreats to the holodeck, where virtual reality technology can create a convincingly real rendition of any desired scene. Where does she go for advice? She seeks out Leonardo da Vinci in his 16th–century studio. Once she has outlined her

dilemma, Leonardo offers his counsel: “When one’s imagination cannot provide an answer, one must turn to a greater imagination.” This is my advice to you right now, Capricorn.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20–Feb. 18) Seth Grahame–Smith rewrote Jane Austen’s classic novel Pride and Prejudice. He kept 85 percent of her material, but also added a big dose of “ultraviolent zombie mayhem,” creating a new story, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. In his version, Austen’s tale is expanded and altered by the previously unrevealed activities of zombies. I urge you to follow Grahame–Smith’s lead, Aquarius. Take some original creation you really like, and add a shot of your own unique approach to generate a completely new thing.

PISCES (Feb. 19–March 20) Everyone alive should see the musical comedy “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change.” At the very least, we should all meditate regularly on the play’s title, using it as a self–mocking mantra that dissuades us from committing the folly it describes. How better to serve the health of our relationships than by withdrawing the projections we superimpose on people, thereby allowing them to be themselves? Right now you’re in special need of honoring this wisdom, Pisces. If you feel the itch to tell friends and loved ones that they should be different from how they actually are, stop and ask yourself whether maybe you should transform yourself instead.
