Happy African-American History Month, everyone. And happy 2011 Charleston Jazz Orchestra season. Jack McCray’s cover story last week spelled out CJO’s new season. I went to the first show last weekend, “Jazz on the Screen,” and it was fantastic. The band performed old TV and movie themes. There was an energy to the performance that I hadn’t seen before. Band leader Charlton Singleton was a delight, and kept things moving at a great pace. My favorite moment was hearing the “Taxi” theme re-created. That song has such a warm, familiar sound. Honestly, I hadn’t realized just how much those old tunes resonated with me. I’ve never been much of a TV or movie person, but you just can’t help getting touched by that culture. Bravo, CJO. The bar was set high.

‘A Raisin in the Sun’ explodes with hope BY DUFFY LEWIS
Special to The Post and Courier
I PHOTOS BY MEREDITH HEMENWAY-BETZHOLD

Jordan Jones, left, and Keith H. Alston.
n 1959, the civil rights movement was under way, and the Broadway appearance of “Raisin in the Sun” was indicative of changing attitudes. Inspired by Langston Hughes’ poem, “A Dream Deferred,” Lorraine Hansberry’s modern American classic tackles the timeless theme of dreams deferred but in the context of racism in 20th-century America. The play also examines conflict in its various forms: race, class, sex and generation. Hopes and dreams are universal, and three generations of the Younger family in the South Side of Chicago dream of a better life. Their slave ancestors dreamed of freedom. In the 1950s, the Youngers dream
of economic freedom. Under the direction of Henry Clay Middleton, the small ensemble cast is performing “A Raisin in the Sun” on various dates through Feb. 13 at the Footlight Players Theatre, 20 Queen St. Keith H. Alston captures Walter Lee’s anger and frustration as he struggles to define his manhood under an emasculating mother and a demeaning occupation with little economic opportunity. When Walter is prostrate over a betrayal, his agony and shame are at full force. A. Nellie Bloedourn is commanding and thoroughly convincing as Lena, the matriarch of the Younger family. Lena insists that she isn’t meddling, but she is accustomed to dominating the family. Walter’s wife, Ruth, played by Donna Lee Williams, is
a patient and loving wife and mother, but she is tired of Walter’s foolish dream of owning a liquor store, and she doesn’t trust his “business partners.” Juanita B. Green is an articulate and inquisitive Beneatha, but too giggly for a college-age young woman. Middleton avoids caricatures with his supporting actors and directs them to have sympathy and respect for their characters. The technical production is equally strong. Jennifer Timms’ sound design includes a gorgeous selection of music from the era, including Nat King Cole’s “I’d Rather Have the Blues.” Costume design by Rosalyn Gonzalez is authentic and well-fitted, except for Beneatha’s tight, modern blue jeans. Richard Heffner’s set of the Younger tenement apartment is realistic with
authentic 1950s appliances and furniture. The set decoration is simple, warm and tidy — suitable for a working-class family. Heffner uses the deep stage area by cutting out a large hole in the bedroom wall, thus allowing the audience to peer through a scrim into the bedroom. Hansberry’s “Raisin in the Sun” makes a statement about dignity and self-respect and challenges the increasing emphasis on materialism that was going on at the time of the play’s debut, all universal themes. The plot’s crisis comes when Lena experiences an epiphany of her domineering ways and says to Walter, “I been doing to you what the rest of the world has been doing to you.” At that moment, we know that “Raisin in the Sun” is not a tragedy, but a message of hope.

For example, the lighthouse needs repairs to brick work and staircase, as well as a restoration of the lantern room. “Just last summer, we (the board and other friends) evicted a lot of pigeons and cleaned out years of guano,” says Oswald. “Keeping the lighthouse up is an ongoing process.” And those repairs require money, both private donations and public grants. “Last year, we raised $8,000 (at the half-marathon event). For me, that’s significant. It’s certainly not a quarter-million-dollar government grant, but its something,” says Oswald, adding that fundraisers also serve the dual purpose of keeping the lighthouse project in the public eye. To sign up for the race, go to www.actioncarolina.com
or go to the Medical University of South Carolina wellness center at 45 Courtenay Street 4-7 p.m. Friday or at Tides (the former Holiday Inn on Folly Beach) 7-8 a.m. Saturday. The coast to enter is $40 for the half and $30 for the 5K. More on Save the Light at www.savethelight. org.
Jivamukti weekend
Sharon Gannon and David Life, the founders of Jivamukti Yoga, will make their annual visit to Charleston to conduct a series of yoga classes this weekend. Gannon and Life are master yoga teachers who are greatly responsible for yoga’s popularity in the West. They are vocal about the importance for respecting the Earth and of a nonviolent lifestyle. Most recently, Gannon’s compact disc “Sharanam” of holy sanskrit mantras made it to No. 1 for New Age music and No. 6 for all categories on Amazon.com. As of Monday, classes for

hen it comes to landmarks in Charleston, many locals would argue that the Morris Island Lighthouse ranks near the top of the list, even though it’s not easily seen by the masses or tourists because of its location at the mouth of Charleston Harbor. Like bridges and waterfalls, lighthouses stir something in the human soul, especially as GPS devices have made them functionally obsolete. And Morris Island often seems ghostly in its presence on an island that is now partly underwater. For years before the Save the Light organization banded together in the late 1990s, many worried that the Morris Island Lighthouse would be destroyed because of the erosion of the island in combination with the lighthouse’s condition. Among the first fundraisers the organization started was the Save the Light HalfMarathon and 5K, the ninth of which (the event skipped a year in 2007) will start at 8:30 a.m. Saturday on Folly Beach. I often hear people question why the event still raises money for the lighthouse since the organization has been successful in landing grant monies to do major work on the lighthouse in recent years. Those stabilization projects include building a steel cofferdam around the base of the tower and installing 68 “micro-

Gillespie, ever the comedian, got Carter to sing along on the refrain of his famous bebop tune, “Salt Peanuts.” (Get it? Peanut farmer singing “Salt Peanuts.” Jazz musicians share the American trait of humor, too.) Carter said to those gathered, “What you have given America is as important as the White House and the Capitol building.” Fifteen years later to the day, President Bill Clinton held a jazz party on the South Lawn. He had over to the house the likes of Joe Williams, Illinois Jacquet and Wynton Marsalis. He said after his soiree, “It’s especially important that we should be together here in America’s house to celebrate that most American of all forms of musical expression, jazz. Jazz is really America’s classical music. Like the country itself, and especially like the

Ellington Experience
The Charleston Ballet Theatre has set quite an interesting event in its current season involving jazz. At 7:30 p.m. Feb. 12 the company will put on a performance in the Charleston Music Hall. It features original choreography by resident choreographer Jill Eathorne Bahr set to the music of Duke Ellington performed by members of the Charleston Jazz Orches-
tra: Charlton Singleton, trumpet; Kevin Hamilton, bass; Tommy Gill, piano; Quentin Baxter, drums; Stephen Spaulding, trombone; and John Cobb, baritone/ alto saxophones. This promises to be one of the more interesting arts events of the year. Music from Duke’s Far East Suite was decided for the piece, taken from landmark material he and longtime collaborator Billy Strayhorn composed in the mid-1960s based on an overseas tour. It was done about five years before he was feted at Nixon’s White House. Tickets are $25-$45. Call 723-7334 or go to www. charlestonballet.org.
Marie Quartet. The vocalist extraordinaire and her mates, Rodney Jordan on bass; Quentin Baxter, drums; and Kevin Bales, piano, will brighten Memminger Auditorium at 7 p.m. Feb. 4 with their sleek, stylish sound. A better entertainment choice could not have been made for an event such as this. The quartet has delighted festival audiences twice in recent years, tearing up The Cistern and Gaillard with originals and reimaginations of American standards. Tickets are $150 individuals, $1,500 per table of six. Call 579-3100 or go to www. spoletofestival.org.

‘Skins’ is not worth the hype
T
wo weeks ago, MTV debuted a new show called “Skins.” And as can be expected with an MTV show, not everyone is a fan. Even though only three episodes “Skins” have aired, the show has had a lot of drama surrounding it. The Parents Television Council has asked the U.S. Senate, House of Representatives and Judiciary Committee to investigate if the show is child pornography. Why? Well, the show’s name should give a hint. The show follows a group of teenagers and shows a fair bit of skin, sex, drug and alcohol. So what’s the big deal? After all, “Jersey Shore” and plenty of other TV shows on cable show a lot of the same no-nos. But, unlike other shows about teenagers, such as (the original) “Beverly Hills 90210,” “the O.C.,” and even “Saved by the Bell,” the cast for “Skins” is actually close to if not the age of their characters. The actors on “90210,” “the O.C.” and “Saved by the Bell” may have been playing teenagers, but they were more often than not years older than their TV characters. But in the case of “Skins,” the people playing these roles are in some cases still minors. Despite the controversy, the show’s creator, Bryan Elsley, is standing by the show, calling it “a very simple and, in fact, rather old-fashioned television series.”

What do you think? Is “Skins” too racy? Go online and offer your opinion oncharlestonscene.com
But already, a handful of advertisers have pulled out of the show. Even though MTV says it plans to air the whole 10-episode season, who knows how things will play out. The show is based on a UK show of the same name, which generated both a bit of controversy and a lot of popularity. The UK version, which airs on entertainment channel E4, is in its fifth season. Episodes are available on
MTV’s website, but you have to enter in your age to view them. Like the U.S. version, the original “Skins” website requires you to be 18 to view shows. I’ve caught only the first two episodes of the U.S. “Skins” (The third episode, which was supposed to be particularly controversial, hadn’t aired as of this column’s deadline.). And I’ve seen some of the UK version, which among a relatively unknown cast includes two actors from popular movies — Dev Patel from 2008’s “Slumdog Millionaire” and Nicholas Hoult, the boy from 2002’s “About a Boy.” So far, “Skins” closely mirrors its British inspiration,
especially the first episode, which is pretty much scenefor-scene. But to be honest, from a story perspective, I don’t like the show, either country’s version, and I don’t understand why it’s popular. From what I’ve seen, it’s not that interesting or fresh, and the story and characters haven’t been particularly engaging. On top of that, the hype and controversy surrounding “Skins” make the show even blander. The U.S. “Skins” first episode had 3.3 million viewers, but only half that many viewers tuned in for the second episode. Episodes air at 10 p.m. Mondays.

at the Laura Mercier counter about to get a dreaded makeover. Except, it wasn’t horrible at all. In fact, the whole thing turned out to be a really great experience. The make-up artist’s name was Jamie, and he actually listened when I told him about being super low maintenance. He started with foundation, explaining which one he thought would work the best with my skin type, and demonstrated how to apply it with a sponge (apparently you’re never supposed to use fingers). Then he blended in an illuminator to make me “glow-y” and added some blush. One of my concerns in the winter, besides dry skin, is looking washed out. He grabbed a fluffy bronzer brush to do some “big 3’s” on my face from forehead to
cheek to chin with illuminating powder. When he handed me the mirror, I was braced to expect the worst but was really delighted with the result. It looked like me but one who regularly got eight hours of sleep and had a healthy glow like maybe I’d just spent several days at Canyon Ranch. That would probably explain why I didn’t even flinch when the bill came to $195. Of course, a talented make-up artist can make anyone look good, but the real test is the next day when you’re the one trying to replicate what was done. Apparently, I nailed it because several people commented on how good my skin looked. Best $195 I ever spent. Cos Bar is at 201 King Street.

Tin Roof keeps Click-ing with great underground shows Ice being some of the better shows, and of course I’ve also witnessed some bad ones. In my experience, it’s very easy for a hip-hop show to go south, and this is particularly true of local acts that might not have access to elaborate sound systems, stage sets or certain theatrical bells and whistles. Yet Saturday was my third time seeing STC, and these guys just keep getting better with every performance. The songs get funnier, the antics more entertaining and the entire act remains very polished yet laid back at the same time. Pick up the CD if you get a

Asheville’s Mad Tea Party delivers a big sound for a diverse duo. A sound that uses guitars, ukuleles, foot drums, a fiddle and plenty of fun-loving harmonies to create an uproarious rock symphony just as fit for an arena as a mountain porch or beach cabana. Since forming in 2004, the pair already has four albums under its belt and is touring in support of its latest release, “Rock ’n’ Roll Ghoul,” which was released last year. Mad Tea Party will perform Saturday at The Tin Roof, 1117 Magnolia Road., with the Discordian Society. Show time is set for 10 p.m. Visit myspace.com/westashleytinroof or call 571-0775 for information about the show.

as “Angel Dance” and “You Can’t Buy My Love.” Past shows with the new Band of Joy have proven to feature material that spans Plant’s career, and no two nights have featured the same set list. Saturday’s show at the Beacon Theatre in New York City featured not only tunes from the new album, but also reworked Zeppelin songs such as “Black Dog” and “Houses of the Holy.” At the Oct. 20 show in Gateshead, England, Plant opened with “Tall Cool One,” and also performed Zeppelin classics such as “Misty Mountain Hop” and “Tangerine.” So while Friday night’s show will undoubtedly feature quite a bit of material from the new Band of Joy CD, don’t be surprised if Plant decides to reach back into his catalog for a few surprises.

Indigo Girls member reminisces on humble beginnings in the Lowcountry BY DEVIN GRANT
Special to The Post and Courier
T
hey tour the world, playing in front of thousands of people a year, but before they got to that point, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, better known as The Indigo Girls, once played the bars of Charleston. It is a path just about any aspiring musician follows on his or her way up; finding a regular gig at a bar or club, often playing for tips. Speaking by phone from Toronto recently, Saliers, who performs with Ray this Tuesday at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center, fondly recalled the days of playing at now-defunct venues such as Cafe 99 in the ’80s, when she and Ray were college students in Atlanta. “Cafe 99 was so supportive of us,” said Saliers. “We were almost like the house band there at one time. It was always just a thrill to pack up the car and come to Charleston. We had a small, core group of followers, and we got to play out at the beach on Isle of Palms. “Charleston was one of our satellite cities. We had another second home in Athens, but a home in Charleston for sure. It was part of the springboard for us as an independent bar band, and being able to build a career. It’s such a beautiful city.” Q: The Indigo Girls released a studio album, a Christmas album and a live album in just a little over a year. These CDs came after a three-year break since your previous release, “Despite Our Differences.” To
We really wanted to go to Nashville, and we wanted to work with Peter Collins again, because we love him, and we wanted it to have a bluegrass vibe. Then our manager gave us 25 or 30 CDs of Christmas songs, and we picked a few from those, and we included VANGUARD RECORDS “In the Bleak Midwinter” The Indigo Girls (Amy Ray, because it was both of our mothers’ favorite Christmas left, and Emily Sailers) released their first album hymn.

M
y mom visits Charleston every year for the Lowcountry Blues Bash. She always says that music “takes the bite out of reality.” She’s right. Every year, the Blues Bash helps us forget the somber chill of winter and lets us dance the days away. Speaking of weeks, the 21st annual Blues Bash is longer than ever before; it’s a solid 17 days of music in 25 different venues. Most of the shows (73 percent, to be exact) are free, which means the bash is a cost-effective way to enjoy some of the best music in the world. “Originally, I decided to pull the event back from the Wildlife Expo,” explains Gary Erwin, who puts the Blues Bash together. “We have our own audience for the bash, and I wanted to try something different for the fans. Then we decided to sprawl it over the expo anyhow, and it’s now 17 days instead of just 11.” This year’s bash will feature new venues for the music, including Southend Brewery in downtown Charleston, Reel Bar at the Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina in Mount Pleasant and Lucy’s Redsky Grill on Seabrook Island. “The venue structure is different each year,” says Erwin. “It always depends on the businesses, and whether they can support an act from out town.” Highlights of the show this year include Mac Arnold and Plate Full O’ Blues and Frankie Lee Robinson. With 50 acts total, blues fans are bound to find the artist they’ve been eager to experience for the first time, as well as old favorites. “I want to stress that the bash encompasses all different styles, generations and varieties of the blues form,” says Erwin. “The venues we’ve selected are intimate enough that the audience and the per-

former can truly connect, and enjoy the music in a small setting.” Blues legend Drink Small is enthusiastic about playing the bash this year, since many of his friends and fans are in Charleston. “You have everything in Charleston; it really draws a lot of different cultures,” says Small. “The city’s connection to history and music make it a great hookup. People are from all over the place in Charleston — there are geographical reasons to come and play music.” Small has played the blues his whole life, and the bash for several years. “I grew up in Bishopville and played music for 30 years before meeting Erwin,” he says. “I’ve played with the likes of Fats Domino, Maurice Williams — I’ve played beach music, rock music and gospel. I’ve done a lot of everything.” Most great blues artists tend to run into each other on the road, and that’s how Rob Baskerville of the King Bees met Er-
win and got involved in the bash. “I met him during a gig,” Baskerville says. “He’s a fantastic musician, and we’re definitely not strangers now.” Baskerville and his wife, Penny Zamagni, make up the King Bees duo, originally formed in 1987. “My wife is the songwriter and plays the bass, while I play the guitar,” he says. “We’re musically inspired by folks we actually get the chance to perform with, like Chick Willis, B.B. King, Bo Didley and Carey Bell. We played the Blues Bash in Charleston with Carey Bell before. He was a great Chicago bluesman who recently passed away.” The King Bees look forward to working with other seasoned musicians for this year’s bash. “We’ll be working with a drummer for part of the show, and we’ll also be backing up Chick Willis,” he says. Willis, who recorded his first record in 1956, has sold more than 3 million copies of his hit, “Stoop Down Baby.” His entire

family played music, including his famous first cousin, Chuck Willis. “I was raised by a family where my father played the harmonica and my grandmother and my mother sang,” he says. “My first cousin, Chuck, and I used to go on tour together until his untimely death in 1956.” Willis is excited about the bash this year since he’ll be one of the top featured acts. “I did the bash last year and had a great time,” he says. “This year though, I’ll be performing on one of the main stages. Blues is the grandfather of modern music, which is why old guys like myself are still able to perform — we carry on the tradition. And without the blues, newer types of music couldn’t exist. “ The one thing these musicians can agree on is the passion their music has for real life. “The blues are real; they’re about reality,” says Willis. “Whether you’re happy, or sad, or just got married, or just got thrown in jail, the blues reflect that.” “Blues speak the truth,” says Baskerville. “Once you hear it, you get hooked on the message. It encompasses people’s true feelings.” As for Erwin, he’s already working on events for 2012. “I have 10 annual events in South Carolina,” he laughs. “I’m actually working on the first half of 2012 right now. I’m always meeting musicians, planning events. I stay in touch with artists and agents to see who is coming around at the time. The people I enjoy working with usually get moved through the whole event circuit — all of this year’s musicians I’ve worked with before, though a few have never been to Charleston.” “Charleston is a good scene,” says Willis. “It’s one of the places that’s really keeping the blues alive.”

The green onion pancake with shrimp ($6.95) consisted of two dinner-plate-size pancakes served with a soy-vinegar dipping sauce (cho kan jang).

But this Kim’s Korean menu prohissing, sizzling hallowedvides for the “fired meats” out bit did not resonate
with the trinity of Korean flavorings: garlic, sesame and soy. The beef, bul go ki, was bland and dry. The rice however was delicious. A crust similar to the socarrat of paella was crisped on the sides of the stone pot and tender in the middle. However, adding the squeeze play of the hot sauce, a dash of soy and a bit of broth did not bring the flavors to a cohesive symphony. The flavor builders of the banchan, the paste of chiles and the umami of soy failed to rescue this dish. The jajangmyeon ($11) had a similar fate. The noodles were tender and slurp-worthy, yet the cubes of potato, the “che” cut zucchini — much like a classic julienne — the dice of onion and tender pork did not have the heart and soul of this dish. Garlic, sesame and soy had no taste presence. The soybean paste, no depth. It was a conundrum. Did the kitchen of Kim abandon the intensity of kochujang? Where was the garlic? Korea
ranks No. 1 in the world for garlic consumption, and the dishes at Kim’s hardly spoke with the breath of the stinking rose. It is said that the “country of Korea was formed by the union of the son of the divine creator, a bear and 20 cloves of garlic.” That gives you some idea of the role of garlic in Korean cuisine. Were they forced to temper the triumvirate of tastes to Southern sensibilities? But the kitchen was paced to dispatch with ease. The servers patrolled the dining room effortlessly. Kim made the rounds to every table. If you were happy, he was happy. Guests from the hibachi experience left with bags of goodies packed in Styrofoam, their tableside chef’s name echoing behind them. The host thanked them and said, “See you tomorrow,” “see you next week.” It was clear that Kim’s resonates with its customers. Large portions, happy people and many happy returns.

Charlie’s Grille caters Derek Falta knows tapas to Steelers faithful Former chef of Chai’s takes helm at Barsa
BY ANGEL POWELL
Special to The Post and Courier
A
fter five years as chef of Chai’s Lounge and Tapas, Derek Falta found himself out of a job in December when the restaurant announced it was closing its doors. As luck would have it, a new tapas spot was opening on Upper King, and Falta took the job as executive chef of Barsa. Q: You had little time to put together a menu for Barsa. How difficult was it to create a menu that everyone was happy with in just a few days? A: It was a little stressful but I was assured we could start small and gradually grow the menu. I’m looking forward to expanding the menu as well as starting paella night. We are also doing brunch from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays. Q: How did you meet owner Drazen Romic and get the job at Barsa? A: Drazen was looking for a chef, I was looking for a job, and we had mutual friends. The timing was right. Q: How long was it after you found out Chai’s was closing did you find out you had this new job? A: I was told on Dec. 15 that the 31st would be my last day at Chai’s. I accepted the position at Barsa on Christmas Eve, but I wasn’t able to get in the kitchen there until the first of the year. Q: The tapas concept is not a new one for you; how will you make this cuisine different from what you served at Chai’s? A: I did small plates at Chai’s; I feel we had a little bit of everything influenced by many different cuisines, but I tried to put an Asian twist on most dishes. At Barsa, the focus is on more traditional Spanish tapas.

It begins with general thoughtlessness and works its way down to his sometimes violent, always controlling reactions to her hopes for the future. Living “the good life” might seem to forgive some of that, but as Cathy fails to figure out what is eating David and the threat of violence grows, she is forced to scheme her way out of the trap her life has become. “I’ve never been closer to anyone, and I don’t know you at all.” Jarecki plays around with foreshadowing a bit too much for the film’s own good. But “All Good Things” takes odd, dark and stunning turns as we find ourselves pulled from a melodrama about a marriage in trouble to a crime mystery. It’s not the smoothest thriller. But “All Good Things” is thoroughly engrossing, a roman a clef that chillingly ponders a puzzle and suggests solutions

he characters in Brian Bustos’ paintings are searching for the shadow of music. His acrylic paintings on wood box frames are a glimpse into an alternate universe where birds speak, trains run under hills and Indians guide the blind. This Saturday at Eye Level Art, Bustos will present more than 50 of his newest paintings created in the past five months. Live music, a video installation, paintings and drawings will be featured at the free event. Bustos is a quiet man and speaks through his art. His paintings convey a sense of despair with the world and hope in another way of living. Inspired by music, Egyptian art and Native American cultures, Bustos creates artwork that is unfolding and psychedelic. Bustos builds all the boxes the paintings are created on and views the process as building a painting. “It all starts with nothing,” he said. About the images in his artwork, Bustos said, “A lot of it is stream of consciousness, I don’t know what’s going on. I just start putting stuff down. I try not to think about it too much. I don’t know exactly what it all means. It just is what it is.” About the show, he says, “ ‘Good Morning Spider’ is the name of a Sparklehorse album. Mark Linkous died last year, and this is my homage to all Sparklehorse. Almost all the paintings are named after titles or lines of their songs. If I’m doing a painting and listening to music, if a line sticks out then that’s the title. There’s really no other correlation.”
PROVIDED BY BRIAN BUSTOS
Bustos’ art is woodblock paintings done by hand and made to look like woodblock prints. See his work at Eye Level Art on Saturday. Bustos uses paint from the hardware store, and if he finds a piece of good wood on the side of the road, he’ll use that, too. Pieces range in size from 4 by 4 feet to the inside of an old book cover. The opening reception at Eye Level Art will be a multimedia experience. “This show is about nature and technology all wrapped together. It’s all fast and impersonal,” Bustos said. “I read somewhere that David Choe said that as an artist, in his career, he’s constantly shooting himself in the foot. I do that weekly. I guess the show is a lot about that.” Elizabeth Bowers contributed to this story.

ACE’S ON BRIDGE By BOBBY WOLFF
A deceptive declarer tries not only to persuade a defender to take a trick when he shouldn’t, but also to duck at the wrong moment. Sometimes the target is not specifically to gain a trick by this maneuver, but to gain a tempo or to keep an opponent off play. An example is today’s deal, where against four hearts the defense starts with a spade to the ace, followed by the spade queen. You should take the spade king and decide on a plan. You maythinkeveryoneknowshow to take a trump finesse — but the right play is actually to lead a low heart from hand at trick three! Why? Well, if the heart finesse is onside, you are only looking at an overtrick. The key distribution is when West has the heart king, in which case the club ace is clearly wrong. You want to sneak a heart trick through, after which you will cash the heart ace and run diamonds. When West has 3-3-34 shape, he will only be able to ruff the fourth diamond, by which time one of your club losers will have vanished. Is it easy for West to rise with the heart king on the first trump? I do not think so, and I have seen all 52 cards. And note that if East has the heart king, you may surrender an unnecessary heart trick but the contract is now safe. The defense can get only one club trick for sure.

TODAY’S HOROSCOPE
TAURUS (April 20May 20): Emotional blackmail is apparent and can cause you to miss out on a really good opportunity. Pay a visit to whomever you need to see to make things happen.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your aggressive way of going about what you want will pay off. An opportunity will appear at precisely the right moment.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22DEC. 21): Your past experience with others will help you move forward now. When something isn’t working, fix it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Stop fussing so much about the things you cannot change. Focus on what you can do to make your life less hectic and stressful.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19): You’ll have too many options and too little time. Don’t feel you have to do everything yourself. Proceed with caution.
GEMINI (May 21June 20): The time is right to take action. No matter what challenge you face, you will have the determination and willpower to drive you to the finish line.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23OCT. 22): Let the past go and look toward the future. Interacting with as many people as possible will lead to both personal and professional gains.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18): Realize how powerful you are and offer your services, skills or know-how. It’s what you do for others that will help you gain respect.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Unexpected options will appear out of nowhere, leaving you with a tough decision over which you must not waffle.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23NOV. 21): Problems at home or within your personal life will only get worse if you don’t deal with each issue you face.
PISCES (FEB. 19MARCH 20): Nothing will be out in the open or easy to see. Strive for fairness and equality if you want personal or professional unions to last.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t give anyone room to criticize you. Expect a personal situation to get blown out of proportion.

Gridiron trivia BY REBEKAH BRADFORD
Specal to The Post and Courier
It’s hard to say what Head2Head is more excited about: the Super Bowl or the Super Bowl commercials. Regardless, the match up between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers should be epic. Last week’s winner, Eric Pastorelli, is taking on student Lisa Schmidt.
QUESTIONS 1. Name the MVP of the first two Super Bowls. 2. Which team has appeared in the most Super Bowl games? 3. Which of the following teams has not won back-to-back Super Bowls: Miami Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs or New England Patriots? 4. Name the kicker who holds records for most career attempts and field goals scored during the Super Bowl. 5. Which of the following teams does not have a perfect Super Bowl record: San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens or Pittsburgh Steelers? 6. What player holds the record for most Super Bowl career touchdowns, including three in one game? 7. Which of the following teams has been to the Super Bowl four times but never won: Minnesota Vikings, Cincinnati Bengals or San Diego Chargers? 8. The lowest amount of points scored by a team in the Super Bowl was ...? 9. Which team has won the most Super Bowls? 10. When was the last year the Green Bay Packers won?
MIKE ROEMER/AP
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers throws the ball during an NFL football practice Friday in Green Bay, Wis. The Packers face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV on Sunday in Arlington, Texas.
CONCLUSION When you hear the saying “So and So won by a landslide,” this is what they’re talking about. Pastorelli is the clear winner and will be back to defend his title for the second time.
ERIC’S ANSWERS
1. Joe Namath. 2. The Cowboys. 3. I’m guessing, but is it Kansas City? 4. Vinatieri for the Patriots and the Colts. 5. Baltimore. 6. Emmett Smith. 7. Minnesota. 8. I’m not going to say zero, so I’ll go with a field goal. Three points. 9. The Steelers. 10. It was sometime in the ’90s. Maybe 94?
EAR ABBY: What’s your opinion of having a double wedding and a double shower for two girls in the family? Would it be appropriate to split the monetary gift since it combines the events? — ANONYMOUS DEAR ANONYMOUS: My mother and her identical twin sister married in a double wedding. Because they did practically everything together, I wouldn’t be surprised if they also had a double shower. Wedding/shower gifts are just that: Gifts. You are not compelled to spend more than you can afford, but there should be a separate one for each event. DEAR ABBY: I work with a woman who always comes to the office in professional attire, but her clothing is
DEAR ABBY so devoid of color that it makes her appear drab and depressed. Would it be presumptuous to suggest she might add some color to her wardrobe? — SUFFERS IN BEIGE-LAND DEAR “SUFFERS”: Tread carefully. Your co-worker may wear monochromatic outfits so as not to draw attention. Not everyone has the same taste in fashion. TO MY ASIAN FRIENDS: Today marks the first day of the Lunar New Year. It’s the Year of the Rabbit, so let’s hop to it! — Love, ABBY
