BY JIM MOREKIS

jim@connectsavannah.com

To be sure, some of what’s going on is that Savannah needs to step up its game.

The other part is, that’s just how Ben Carter rolls. Shock and awe, as it were.

For example, this weekend brought the “breaking” news, apparently in planning behind the scenes for quite some time, of an expansive and ambitious streetscape vision from Mr. Carter for a dramatic aesthetic and functional overhaul of much of Broughton.

The backbone and chief funding mechanism for the vision involves a Tax Allocation District (TAD), similar to the one currently in operation at the lifeless Savannah River Landing and once proposed for the yet-tobe-built Westside arena.

Make no mistake: It would be a public/ private partnership of sorts. Especially in the wake of Savannah River Landing, it deserves as close a look as the public can give it.

Reasonable people can disagree about the appropriateness of a TAD for Broughton Street. Certainly much more independent reporting needs to be done on it.

But the swift rollout of the idea as almost a fait accompli makes me think at this moment that it may be farther along and moving much faster than we’re used to things moving around here.

Editor, I was inspired to write after reading John Bennett’s recent News Cycle column “No lane excuses:” Although the Historic Neighborhood speed limit is 25 mph I was in crosswalk by a large yellow sign that reads “Georgia Law — DRIVERS MUST STOP FOR PEDESTRIANS” on Habersham and Liberty Streets.

The driver about half a block away appeared to speed up and with my Basenji in my bike basket, I jumped back to the median.

She looked back at me and smiled!

I watched the car continue to drive off. With my Basenji in my basket I mounted the bike and rode to Abercorn and Liberty where the woman was holding her dog in her lap.

I raised my voice and right hand.

I used my palm to beat on her moon roof, driver’s side window and front window while straddling the bike with my dog in the bike basket and yelled, “Lady, you could have killed my daughter’s dog ... and me, you better start paying attention to your driving!”

I continued, “As a pedestrian

you are to yield to the people in the crosswalk and you need to get your Papillon dog out of your lap!”

Two weeks later, I was on the corner of York and Price and a South Carolina tagged auto was driving in the bike lane, although the entire left side of Price Street was available.

I made motion with my hands like pedalling a bicycle.

Then I walked into the bike ONLY lane, with him about 30+ feet away and began to motion for him to move over.

He stopped his car, a smirkstyle smile came to his face as he motioned for me to walk over to his driver’s side car window.

I walked toward his car door, and lowered my 6’4” frame beside his car window.

He threw his car door open and attempted to strike my bike and my Basenji dog with his door.

My reflex was to lift my right leg and kick his thrusted door.

With my dominant leg, I pushed the car door shut, crushing his ankle in the door jam and he drove off.

I then called 911 before some “crazed” driver could falsely accuse me of assault.

Public art vs. blight: How do we get it right?

BY JESSICA LEIGH LEBOS jll@connectsavannah.com

OVER THE SUMMER, I had the good fortune to visit Park City, Utah, a small city with a huge heart for public art.

Underpasses shimmer with murals depicting the town’s mining legacy. Life-sized bronze bears wait for hugs on Main Street’s benches. Fish sculptures and drums made from hubcaps line paved walking trails.

At every turn, there’s a chance to gape and grin and engage: There’s even a Shoe Tree where locals and tourists, presumably so overcome by all of this stimulating beauty, throw their kicks into the branches and dance off barefoot.

I really like my fancy Fleet Feet running shoes, so those stayed with me. But as I waltzed around town pounding out a rhythm here, admiring a spray-painted stencil by the famous Banksy there, I wondered

for the eleventy billionth time, why can’t we have more of this kind of stuff in Savannah?

Well, first of all, if people started tossing sneakers into a live oak, some sour-tempered

citizen would shriek that it attracts drug dealers and the City Council would have to spend six months discussing which department had to take it down.

Secondly, we already have tons of “public art” in the form of historical markers and monuments, and if we added in a bunch of dynamic modern sculptures and colorful

murals downtown, some feel it might diminish the sacrosanct significance of all those stodgy Civil War statues.

Also, in spite of how much joy it brings to some, not everybody thinks art ought to be shaking its thang out in public. While Park City has achieved an exhilarating balance between quirky aesthetics and community pride, other places have ended up with some hideous mistakes. (“Mais bien sûr, César Baldaccini’s 40-foot wrinkly thumb is my favorite!” said no Parisian, ever.)

In Wisconsin, the rush to revitalize with public art has devolved into “civic ambition gone awry, like a bad nose job,” argues Urban Milwaukee columnist Tom Bamberger in his article, “The Resistable Rise of Public Art.” “The public art brought to you by the county, city, and community groups are like bowling trophies that clutter a home, functioning as signifiers of accomplishment for community leaders but faintly idiotic for the rest of us.”

What a partypooper. But Bamberger has a point: There’s a difference between good art and good intentions.

We certainly have our own share of “shake my head” instances of public art in Savannah: How ‘bout the giant xylophone with no mallet in Forsyth Park? And don’t even get me started on that goddamn wading fountain that no one’s allowed to wade in.

Maybe the reason why we can’t have nice things is because we still haven’t quite learned to take care of them. In 1993, the city brought in internationally-renowned sculptor Jerome Meadows to build a $300K public art project in Yamacraw Square; today the three bronzed children and their fountain remain defaced and neglected. [Read more in the 2/26/14 edition of the (Civil) Society Column.]

Now an established pillar of the local arts community, Jerome advocates that the way to approach public art in Savannah is to understand that it establishes its own kind of “sacred ground.” He also counsels that the way to ensure against the kind of rampant bad taste Bamberger raves against is to maintain a careful, thoughtful conversation between the entity that governs the public art realm and the citizenry that has to live with its decisions.

“Who is the ‘public’ that public art is designed to serve?” he wondered at an ARC Savannah lecture at the Jepson in July. (I praise the art gods regularly that this city has Jerome and his wonderful Indigo Sky Community Gallery, but he’s also got to wonder sometimes why the hell he’s still here.)

We have a unique, diverse public to serve here in Savannah when it comes to public art, all joshing about effigies of constipated-looking generals aside. Our valuable historical preservation requires a certain conservative approach, but our arts community craves and deserves a more enthusiastic creative climate.

Even with the long-overdue approval of the city’s mural policy last year, we still need to get beyond the notion that street art equals graffiti. Yes, spray-can vandalism remains a city-wide scourge, but more examples of outdoor art will teach the taggers better techniques.

“People want to go outside and paint on walls. That’s not going to change,” point outs artist Matt Hebermehl, who co-authored the city’s mural policy in 2012 and will likely be quoted in every article about public art in Savannah for time immemorial.

“Let’s rechannel that energy and allow people to make art instead of blight.”

Matt and SeeSAW collaborators Jose Ray and Kellie Walker recently completed two more public murals: The shiny, happy children now presiding over the Growing Edge Community Garden at the West Broad YMCA and the electric-hued geometry on the Paulsen Street side of the Kayak Kafé’s new Midtown location have brightened our little world. But places like Broughton and River Street—where the majority of visitors to Savannah magnetize—are still off limits.

When it comes to approving projects— including murals and markers—the curatorial power lies at the feet of the MPC’s Historic Site and Monument Commission. Anyone can submit a proposal, but so far only Matt’s crew has withstood the piles of paperwork and months of waiting.

But things could speed up with the recent appointment of Giselle Rahn, a design strategist by trade and artist herself. The only woman on the commission—and its only member under 30—Giselle brings a heady combo of applicable intelligence and passion to the cause.

“I don’t have an agenda, but it’s fair to say I bring a certain enthusiasm,” she laughs.

“Public art sets the tone of a place, and I hope to help Savannah realize the economic and cultural benefits of more of it.”

Hear, hear! There’s only one problem: As of now, there are no proposals on the books.

I’m not saying anyone is going to dig your vision for a giant hairy nose in the middle of Pulaski Square, but let’s give these good folks some ideas to consider, shall we? CS The Historic Site and Monument Commission meets the first Thursday of every other month, info at thempc.org.

What do we conclude? Black people inarguably are killed by cops in disproportionate numbers, and are more likely to get caught up in the criminal justice system.

Is that direct evidence of racism? Not necessarily. It may simply mean there’s more violent crime in black communities.

Black people account for a disproportionate share of arrests for violent crime—in 2012, 49 percent of murder arrests, 55 percent of robberies, 34 percent of aggravated assaults, and so on. Does that reflect unfair targeting by police? Not likely.

According to a Justice Department study, 47 percent of murder victims 1980-2008 were black, and 93 percent of black victims were killed by other blacks. Nobody can seriously claim those numbers were cooked.

Conclusion: there’s a lot of violent crime in black communities, and thus a lot of police activity. It stands to reason that, the more times people with guns are sent into a community looking for other people with guns, the more violence will result. It’s not necessary to impute this to racism.

Look again at the trend. In 1976, black people accounted for 52 percent of murder arrests, 47 percent of murder victims, and 52 percent of JHBLEOs. In 2012, black people accounted for 49 percent of murder arrests, 49 percent of murder victims, but just 30 percent of those killed by cops.

Are those horrifyingly large numbers?

You bet. Is all this violence unrelated to historical discrimination? Hardly. Are some cops racist? That’s one explanation for Vox’s revelation that 42 percent of non-attacking people killed by police handguns are black.

Is the fact that 30 percent of people killed by police are black evidence of racist cops?

I’m not saying such evidence can’t be found. But this isn’t it. CS

Vox noted that people interacting with the U.S. criminal justice system were disproportionately black, which surely is key.

• Guests at the May wedding of Shona Carter-Brooks in Ripley, Tennessee, reported that the bride’s idea for integrating her month-old daughter into the ceremony consisted of tying her (“well-secured,” she said later) to the long train of her wedding dress, dragging the child as the bride walked the aisle.

The Aristocrats!

(1) Inmate Corey McQueary, 33, passed away in Jessamine County, Kentucky, lockup in August of a methadone overdose.

According to state police, another inmate had soaked a pair of underwear in methadone when he was out on release, then brought the item to the jail for McQueary, who tore off piece after piece and swallowed them. (2) Ten years ago, New York City skyscraper heir Robert Durst beat a murder charge by claiming self-defense, and now lives more quietly in Houston.

However, police in that city accused Durst in July of, “without provocation,” urinating on a cash register in a CVS store, “drenching” a candy rack. [News4SanAntonio, 8-26-2014] [Houston Chronicle, 7-23-2014]

Least Competent Criminals

Unclear on the Concept: A 20-year-old woman was arrested in Seattle in August after calling police to complain that she was being harassed by a man who was following her. Police arrived to find that the “stalker” was simply trying to get his phone back after the woman stole it from him while he was napping on a bus. [KOMO-TV (Seattle), 8-12-2014]

Recent American Scenes

(1) A Washington State Patrol lieutenant pulled over a 28-year-old drunk driver on Aug. 9 in a logistically impressive arrest.

The lieutenant, when he spotted the driver, happened to be in the 36-foot-long motor home converted to the department’s mobile unit for processing DUIs, but nonetheless maneuvered the vehicle well enough to pursue and stop the driver. (2) Sarah Espinosa, 22, crashed into a fire station in New Hyde Park, New York, on Aug. 4, notable for the involvement of two factors -- alcohol and the presence of a python draped around her neck. (She was charged with having just stolen the snake from a Petco store.)

A Classic (August 2010)

They Don’t Make “Drug Lords” Like They Used To: (1) Widely feared Jamaican drug kingpin Christopher “Dudus” Coke was arrested in June (2010) and extradited

to New York City after being picked up wearing women’s clothes and a toosmall 1970s-style Afro wig. The Jamaica Observer reported that Coke wet his pants as he was arrested. (2) Longtime South African drug lord Fadwaan “Fat” Murphy, speaking at a bail hearing in January (2010) in Cape Town, disclosed that he was born a hermaphrodite and has a separate identity (“Hilary”), which puzzled officers, who discovered that Murphy was wearing a strapon penis. Murphy was insistent. “I look like a man. I talk like a man. I am a man.” [Daily

Revival Fest: Top Five

BY JIM MOREKIS jim@connectsavannah.com

SAVANNAH IS A town that loves its festivals, and one of the most up-and-coming newer offerings is Revival Fest, bringing 14 bands to two stages this Saturday.

A project of MusicFile Productions (the force behind Savannah Stopover), Revival Fest at the Georgia Railroad Museum—aka the Roundhouse —celebrates the South’s unique flavors of music, food, and basically just having a good time.

Here’s a Top Five list of things to enjoy about the all-day, all-night scene:

1. The Rockers: Water Liars

good fortune or luck or fate. Especially with an older instrument, you can feel there are songs and vibes already in them.”

Water Liars go on a little after 3 p.m., and they’ll be a great companion listen to T. Hardy Morris, who plays a solo set later on around 6 p.m. Justin and the Dead Confederate frontman share a haunting vocal register and a penchant for Southern gothic themes and poignantly apocalyptic imagery.

“Oh yeah, man, we love Hardy,” exclaims Justin. “We’ve been listening to his new record a lot lately.”

Speaking of records, in addition to about 200 gigs a year The Water Liars release an average of an album a year—somewhat unusual these days.

“I don’t see any other way to do it, but to put in the work,” Justin says. “A lot of people ask me about touring so much and recording as much as we do and working as hard as we do. But I don’t know why you’d do anything else.”

SEP 17-23, 2014

Like the beer, all the bands at Revival Fest are top shelf. But our new favorites are the hard-edged roots/blues/psych-country outfit Water Liars, out of Water Valley, Mississippi, outside of Oxford.

This power trio is the real thing, from the real South. How real? We talked to singer/ guitarist Justin Kinkel-Schuster by phone just as he was ordering lunch at Waffle House.

“We’re certainly informed by the South and of the South, but I’d hesitate to call it strictly that,” Justin tell us. “Everything we dig finds its way in there somehow. I try not to define what we do too much. To me it’s all just about the songs—songs and stories.”

One of Justin’s great influences as a musician is the golden period of American soul, Motown, and R&B. “That will never happen again – it’s truly singular in musical and human history. It’s some of the most powerful music that’s ever been made,” he says.

“I love old blues records and soul records —that’s the shit that moves me. But it’s pointless to try and regurgitate those sounds and replicate them. You have to twist and bend it into whatever you’re gonna make it into.”

Justin’s own individual sound is raw, gutbucket, white-bluesy but with a menacing hard edge—think Thickfreakness-era Black Keys—that’s surprising coming from what looks to be a harmless and meek acoustic guitar.

“It’s just an old hollow-body Harmony that’s got a really good pickup in it,” Justin laughs. “I was lucky, really—I found that guitar in a shop several years ago and I just 18 knew this was gonna be my guitar. It was Athens’ own Futurebirds are the headliners

2. The Headliners: Futurebirds

Arguably more than any other Athens ensemble, Futurebirds represents the Venn diagram intersection of frat-bro jam band and pedigreed “real” Athens music.

Their usually sold-out gigs in Athens routinely bring out a not-always-common cross section of that town’s diverse musical community, all drawn by a love for Futurebirds’ dreamy, steamy, reverb-drenched alt-country stoner sound.

This year’s Revival Fest headliners—quite a get—are touring behind a new release.

Sort of.

In play on the title of their uber-popular sophomore release Baba Yaga, the F’birds are releasing a special EP called Baba Java.

Yup, the four-song release is a collaborative effort with Athens-based coffee roasters Jittery Joe’s, celebrating a special roast in the band’s honor and the first of what the caffeine merchants say will be a line of “Athens music coffee.”

It came out last week, and we got a sneak advance listen. It’s quite good—two unreleased tracks, a Baba Yaga demo (“Virginia Slims”), and the most buzzworthy offering, an absolutely spot-on and delightful cover of R.E.M.’s “(Don’t Go Back To) Rockville.”

If you don’t get enough of Futurebirds this weekend, they play the Georgia Theatre in Athens on Sept. 26. When we checked at press time tix were still available, but we wouldn’t count on that for much longer….

3. The Surprise: Sweet Thunder Strolling Band

As the music lulls between the two stages at Revival Fest – indoors and outdoors – you might hear a blast of raw blues come your way. That would be the Sweet Thunder Strolling Band, an ad hoc group of musical renegades living it up between band sets.

“We’ve got a bass drum, a snare drum, a clarinet, a harmonica, a vocalist, all kinds of stuff,” says lead Thunder dude and local

Armstrong Masquers spoof Hitchcock and more in penny dreadful parody

BY JESSICA LEIGH LEBOS jll@connectsavannah.com

SEP 17-23, 2014

WHEN A WEREWOLF and a vampire meet up in ancient Egypt, it can only be either a terrible new show on the CW network or a brilliant classical farce.

Fortunately for theatregoers this month, it’s the latter: Smart laughs and sarcophagi abound when Armstrong State University’s Dept. of Art, Music & Theatre (AMT) presents The Mystery of Irma Vep: A Penny Dreadful Sept.

25-28 in the Jenkins Hall Theater.

Headily referred to as an “ironic deconstruction of the horror genre with highcamp celebration,” Charles Ludlam’s Obie award-winning play features monsters, melodrama and mayhem as it skillfully lampoons several genres with the same skewer.

The tittering Victorian propriety of Wuthering Heights gets its due, and Alfred Hitchcock’s gothic romance Rebecca receives a lance in the side. And of course, there are several winks-and-nods to the pulpy “penny dreadful novels” of the 19th century.

Add in a whirlwind of wardrobe changes and a bit of Three Stooges’ physicality and it’s a formula for hilarity.

“The genius is that it ties in all of these literary and cultural references with slapstick humor,” says director Travis Hornsby.

“There’s a lot of potential for laughs.”

24 First produced way off Broadway in 1984

Masquers Jonathan Handley (l.) and Tristan Carlson assume multiple roles in the vampy, campy Mystery of Irma Vep. by the Greenwich Village-based Ridiculous Theatre Company, The Mystery of Irma Vep begins at the grand Mandacrest estate with Lord Edgar and his new wife, Enid, as they contemplate the mysterious demise of Edgar’s first spouse, Irma Vep (word nerds will recognize the name as an anagram for “vampire.”

Caretakers Jane and Nicodemus deepen the mystery with their suspicious attachment to the former lady of the house, and appearances by the aforementioned werewolf and mummy drive the plot from Victorian England into the paranormal with all of the speed and chaos of a bat out of hell.

But here’s the rub: The cast of eight characters is played entirely by two people. Not only that, but the play’s licensing agreement stipulates that those two people must be of the same gender, ensuring that campy

cross-dressing is part of the comedic frenzy.

AMT students Jonathan Handley and Tristan Carlson artfully scramble as the two leads, while Justin Davis serves as an understudy and occasional foil.

The lightning-quick dialogue and multiple personality shifts presents a tremendous directorial challenge.

“It’s very ambitious,” laughs Hornsby. “We have almost fifty costume changes over the course of the show.”

The recent AMT graduate is no stranger to theatrical farces. He directed the Masquers’ production of the romantic imbroglio Cactus Flower in 2012, and he specifically chose The Mystery of Irma Vep as his first post-grad endeavor. While it was the most produced play in the U.S. in 1991 and enjoys status as the longest-running play ever produced in Brazil, this is the first time

Irma Vep has ever been staged in Savannah.

“It was important to me to debut it here,” he says. “The absurd and downright silly nature of farce is entertaining and strangely captivating.”

Though the cast may be small, Hornsby assures the talent of Armstrong’s AMT students and faculty has been utilized for Irma Vep’s bevy of props, sound cues and special effects.

“This is definitely a full department adventure.” CS The Mystery of Irma Vep: A Penny Dreadful When: 7:30 p.m. Thursday.-Saturday., Sept. 25-27; 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28 Where: Jenkins Hall Theater, Armstrong State University, 11935 Abercorn Tickets: $12 Info: (912) 344-2556 or armstrong.edu

CULTURE | THE ART•BEAT OF SAVANNAH

Autumn ushers in a season of visual delight

BY LAUREN FLOTTE artrisesavannah.org

SEP 17-23, 2014

READY, SET GO! As an arts enthusiast and writer in Savannah, that’s the mindset I have as I wave goodbye to August and hop into the depths of September.

From now till the end of May, every week will bring numerous openings and art events that showcase the vibrancy of our local culture.

While the uptake in tempo comes in part from the rush of SCAD students to our fair city, an undeniable factor in the drastic change of pace is that from June to September, it’s just too damn hot to look at art!

Now that the air is getting (slightly) crisper and we can detect sensations beyond hot and humid, let’s indulge in the finer things in life. Looking ahead there are plenty of engaging exhibitions and events to fill up an empty fall calendar.

Telfair Museums is delivering both new and old delights this fall. Opening at the Jepson Center October 3 is “Savannah Collects,” an exhibition of artworks from local art collectors’ personal stashes of visual treasures. The works range from the 1700s to 21st century contemporary art.

This exhibition promises to be extremely diverse and the concept behind it is alluring. It is a visual story of the distinct tastes and interests of Savannah’s art collecting elite and it invites the public into the private world of the art collector.

In addition to this exhibition and the Telfair’s otherwise impressive list of events (don’t forget about their monthly Free Family Days and Art on Tap events,) November 14-16 they will be presenting the 20th anniversary edition of the Telfair Art Fair.

This popular event is a great way to get tapped into what over 80 local artists are creating. The open-air fair includes a diverse 28 array of mediums from fine art standards

like painting, sculpture, and photography, to fine crafts like jewelry, fibers, furniture and pottery, all available for purchase. This is the event to attend to jump start an art collection (which could one day be seen at the Jepson Center…)

A few blocks south of the Telfair sits local art and coffee staple, Gallery Espresso, which is featuring work by one of my favorite local artists, Mary Hartman. “Grain Fed” showcases her expressive monochromatic charcoal and pastel drawings.

In the past Hartman has explored diverse subject matter from machinery to figures, and this exhibition concentrates on drawings of large animals such as rams, moose, and horses. Rendering the forms on wood brings warmth to the work and her characteristic drawing style seduces— expressing

Non-Fiction Gallery hosts work by Xialu Zhang (right) in late November, and Cheralynn Johnston, below, through September.

mood, movement, and both the humanistic and primal elements existing in nature.

Gallery Espresso will host a closing reception for Hartman Sept. 26. Following Hartman’s exhibition will be a show of mixed media paintings and illustrations by young artist to watch, Zlatko Mitev.

Further south on DeSoto Avenue is Fresh Exhibitions, one of Art Rise Savannah’s programs. The gallery is already into its fall showcase of work from recipients of its Exhibition Fellowship package, which awards space and services to local artists.

The next exhibition, “Oden,” presents sculptural furniture and drawings by Garrett Odenwelder. A graduate of SCAD’s industrial design program, Odenwelder explores the relationship between art, design, form and material.

Coming to Fresh Exhibitions in November is a collection of haunting, monochromatic woodcut prints by Armstrong grad Lisa Co that integrate natural and animalistic subject matter with the human form.

In December, following Co’s exhibition are the beautiful and poetic multimedia

works of Renee Malloy Ludlam. She utilizes digital, photographic and hand manipulated imagery to create enticing visual stories.

All Fresh Exhibitions shows will be featured as part of the next three First Friday Art Marches. During these Art Marches participants will also be treated to local art at other staple Art March venues.

During the October Art March, Anahata Healing Arts will exhibit work by Debi Day and the Foundry Coffee Pub will present “Magic Passion Love - A Vision for Humanity” by Joanne Morton.

Non-Fiction Gallery will offer a second chance to view “Veiled Horizons” in October and “Memento Boxes” by Xiwen Zhu in November. New gallery Whit’s End will host the group show, “Luceat” in October and a group exhibition exploring color, “Fervor,” in November.

So yes— ready, set, go is an appropriate mantra for the upcoming season. At least the with the cooler temperatures I won’t be sweating quite as much as I try to keep up with all the talented creators and institutions that call Savannah home. CS

FALL ARTS PREVIEW | BOOKS

Heralding the ‘wild woman’ of Cumberland Island Untamed author Will Harlan speaks at the Book Lady

BY JESSICA LEIGH LEBOS jll@connectsavannah.com

SEP 17-23, 2014

NO DOUBT about it, Carol Ruckdeschel is a badass literary heroine.

She eats dead animals from the side of the road, wrestles alligators and can take a bullet from her own father. She’s not afraid to take on powerful members of America’s financial and political elite to protect the Georgia barrier island she calls home.

She’s also a real person. Ruckdeschel has lived on Cumberland Island for 40 years— not in one of the fine mansions built by the Carnegies when it was a privately-held piece of land, nor in one of the newer, pragmatic Park Service cabins. Nope, she sleeps in a ramshackle cabin she built out of driftwood dragged up from the beach and furnished with what washes in with the tides. She’s devoted decades to studying the sea turtles that come to nest every summer and has become one of the most respected authorities on the species.

Her fierce guardianship of Cumberland’s fragile ecosystem has pitted her against those who see it as a resource to be plundered, a crusade chronicled in Will Harlan’s book Untamed: The Wildest Woman in America and the Fight for Cumberland Island.

By telling Ruckdeschel’s story, Harlan has given her cause a powerful voice. An award-winning environmental journalist and former park ranger, he spent 19 years tailing Ruckdeschel as she’s battled with greedy developers, Carnegie heirs and the National Park Service about the island’s future. (He’s also a champion trail runner, which likely helped him keep up with her.)

“I’ve waded into gator dens and chased wildfires with her,” Harlan writes in the book’s prologue. “She has shared her extensive field notes, journals, photographs, correspondence and, most importantly, her heart.”

Harlan will speak at the Book Lady this Thursday, Sept. 18 to help raise awareness about the endangered state of Cumberland Island and wild places everywhere.

“This month marks the 50th anniversary of The Wilderness Act, and Cumberland Island’s wilderness is one of the most important in the world,” he mused in an email last 32 week.

Author, environmental journalist and champion trail runner Will Harlan will be in Savannah on Sept. 18 to advocate for the protection of our coastal wilderness.

“Carol Ruckdeschel led the grassroots campaign to establish the island’s wilderness years ago, but in the past decade, the wilderness has been fragmented and abused.”

The Wilderness Act of 1964 is a landmark conservation bill that protects 110 million acres across the United States. But

as more people traipse through America’s national parks and lobbyists push for commercial use expansion, there is more need than ever for vigilance.

“Untamed appears at a critical moment for Cumberland Island. The island has a new superintendent, and longtime Georgia congressman Jack Kingston has been unseated,” points out Harlan. “The November Senate elections could also signal a sea change for Cumberland.”

Advocacy groups like the Sierra Club work tirelessly to let Congress know that protecting the wilderness is a priority for the American people, but their efforts are grossly outmatched by those of corporations and natural gas companies.

To garner support, Thursday’s event is a fundraiser for Center for a Sustainable Coast, the Georgia-based organization that patrols the political and actual landscape in order to “improve the responsible use, protection and conservation” of coastal resources.

“A percentage of each book sold goes to the Center, and we are also accepting any outright donations too,” says Book Lady owner Joni Saxon-Giusti.

“We will be giving out membership information so people can be sustained supporters of the Center’s mission and also giving out information on current issues so that our community can get involved in a targeted way.”

While not everyone will go toe-to-toe with tough shrimp boat captains like Carol Ruckdeschel has, there is plenty that coastal residents can learn from her brand of wild, hands-on activism. Harlan believes her story has the power to invigorate the movement that originally spearheaded the creation of the Wilderness Act. “Hopefully, the book can help energize the public and political leaders to protect and restore Cumberland Island’s wilderness—both for the endangered sea turtles who depend on it for their survival, and for the thousands of hikers and island lovers who depend on it for their sustenance.” CS Center for a Sustainable Coast Fundraiser with Untamed author Will Harlan When: 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 18 Where: The Book Lady, 6 E.

MUSIC EVERY THURS-SUN

Dollhouse Studios—the recording arm of Peter and Blake Mavrogeorgis’s Dollhouse Productions venue on the Westside —is currently booked with sessions for Austin band Wild Child, putting together their next full-length album.

So when the husband/wife team was approached by L.A.-based indie label/ vinyl shop Lolipop Records to host its Adventure Tour Showcase, they needed a venue. Stat.

Enter Wes Daniels of Hang Fire, always eager to lend a helping hand to fellow music lovers.

That means you get to see a ridiculous multi-band set of West Coast underground music featuring Mr. Elevator and the Brain Hotel, Froth, Wyatt Blair, and Corners, all touring hard, with the SAV set coming between nights in St. Augustine and Asheville.

And oh yeah, local faves Triathalon will open.

Mr. Elevator and the Brain Hotel channel Question Mark and the Mysterians with more reverb. Wyatt Blair has a Britpunk attitude with lips curled. Corners is loud garage fun with some real menace. Froth is psych-groove rock with ’60s garage influences.

What we’re saying is it promises to be a long and crazy night of rock ‘n’ roll to kick off the school year, whether you’re a SCAD student or just pretending to be one for the night.

“We were so excited when approached to host the Tour and didn’t want to pass up the opportunity. So we reached out to our friends at Hang Fire to house the lineup,” Blake tells us.

“We are supporters of more and more live touring acts coming to Savannah, and knew this would be a great fit for the downtown venue. It’s exciting for us to have the studio booked AND host a live show at the same time.”

➜➜Theremin Summit @Ships of the Sea Museum

• 2014 •

Most of us know the theremin as that retrokitschy-creepy sci-fi sound effect, made by manipulating the electromagnetic field of its signature antenna. Others know it as an instrument in its own right.

Some of the latter folks—specifically Philip Neidlinger, Ricardo Ochoa of Velvet Caravan, Melissa Hagerty of Omignome, and renowned genius guitarist Richard Leo Johnson—will be performing in the second “Theremin Summit,” held outside in the Ships of the Sea Museum’s Garden performing space.

“The Theremin Summit is a concert we’ve been planning for a while now, based on the great audience response Philip Neidlinger received when he played the theremin he made during our ‘Museum in the Moonlight’ about five years ago,” explains Tony Pizzo, Ships of the Sea head honcho dude.

“The Museum likes to present instruments that are not usually heard in a live setting here in Savannah, and this concert is definitely one of those.”

Four reasons to dig this show: 1) All four musicians live in Savannah. 2) Each has an individual approach to the instrument: Neidlinger’s classical, Ochoa’s jazz, Hagerty’s psych rock, and Johnson’s experimental. 3) They represent three musical generations. 4) They cover the development of the instrument.

Not only that, Pizzo says, but, “They’ll be playing in duet and ensemble settings.”

Which of course means… wait for it….

“Multiple Theremins!” he says.

CULTURE | FOOD & DRINK

HERE I AM, your roving foodie reporter, giving you a heads up on an interesting place with a new owner tucked away among the strip malls of Airway Avenue in Pooler. I was out on my Walmart Walk one evening—large, well-lit parking lots and vigilant security makes for safe, night walking—and noticed this venue tucked away among the pet and hobby huts, hair salons and big-box stores.

Now, what, I wondered, was a Mediterranean place doing here in the wilds of Pooler?

Was it any good? The reviews online suggested to me that people either hated it or loved it, no in-between.

The photos, however, tendered the opinion that a trip out there might not be so

Luscious selection of homemade desserts, including the Mille Feuille, cannoli, Napoleon and Baklava Photo by Cheryl Baisden Solis bad…so I drew up plans to make an evening of it, especially considering that they had a Hookah & Tapas Bar attached!

The original Mediterranean Tavern was opened 18 months ago by an experienced Greek entrepreneur Harry Kiriakides and his sister Helen Goniotakis. He’s a busy

guy, though, with a lot going on, so he sold a partnership to Jacqueline Somesso, of Karma Entertainment fame, who took over six months ago, bringing in Chef Michael Walker, and his creative ways in the kitchen, to the forefront.

Harry and Helen still come in several

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE

times a week to oversee the authenticity of the Greek recipes, and the incredible desserts are handmade fresh daily. The dishes stem from family recipes dating back to the mid-19th century and their grandmother’s kitchen, combining Greek, Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine, and they like to see that the tradition continues.

Foodie talk around town suggested that since the new owner came on board, the place has gone through a positive change, and with the introduction of the new tapas menu and hookah bar, it was becoming quite the popular venue—Jackie tells me that Gulfstream folks seem to have made her place a favorite haunt, whether for lunch or dinner.

The charm of the place is two-fold: if you want good lamb kabobs, dolmadakia, a variety of hummus and other delicious Greek dishes, you’ll find them well-prepared and tasty (though, to be honest, a tad pricey for the portion sizes).

If you are seeking out some damn good chicken and seafood with a lightly seasoned, more recognizable slant (think Grilled Bourbon Chicken or creamy Garlic Shrimp), you will definitely find yourself a happy camper. Despite the name, they manage to cover both bases well.

The staff here seemed well-versed in the Greek dishes and could answer questions about ingredients, which I like, and we were attended to without fuss. Chef Michael came out to chat and gave me a brief history of the place.

The lamb chops here are well-seasoned, tender and perfectly grilled—yet at $18.95, I think at least four chops would be better—three hardly seemed sufficient to whet the appetite. The cheesy risotto was quite good, though I expected more of a vegetable flavor since it is listed as being made with zucchini and squash, and the grilled asparagus retained its delicate crunch nicely.

My hubby’s gyro looked wonderful and tasted good too, stuffed with plenty of meat—which Jackie assured me is sliced right off the roasted meat spit—and plenty of homemade tzatziki and fresh veggies.

There is a full bar with a good, wide variety of wines both domestic and imports, and fine selection of appetizers to choose from.

I definitely recommend getting the platters that come with at least three choices, because you’ll want more than one, guaranteed. The hummus here is a little thicker than I’m used to, but it has a good flavor and spread on the pita with a dollop of tzatziki, it makes a heavenly treat.

The bakery alone is worth coming for a visit. In fact, you may be reminded, as I was, of the old Gottlieb’s confections which had

to be stored in a refrigerated case because the cream was real and so was the custard filling! Gottlieb’s sold an exquisite Bavarian Cream pastry of phyllo, thick, real whipped cream and golden Bavarian custard—since they closed I have had to do without‌but no more!

All the desserts here look incredible, but I have finally found that Bavarian Cream taste of heaven—here ,it is a large, square dessert

pastry sprinkled lightly with powdered sugar and cinnamon, and a kissin’-cousin to the Gottlieb’s wonder. You will probably think you can’t finish it all, but it’s so light, so delicately flaky, yet stuffed with cream and custard, it proves to be the such a superbly decadent dessert you’ll want to conquer every bite!

Yes, culture and taste will make their way eventually to even an outpost like Pooler,

and Mediterranean Tavern makes the long drive worth the time it takes to get there! CS Mediterranean Tavern 125 Foxfield Way, Pooler (912) 988-1052 Mon-Thu 11am-10pm Fri & Sat: 11am till the ouzo runs out (that’s a quote!)

FRANK

WED. SEPT 17 | 8 PM | $7

PSYCHOTRONIC FILM SOCIETY

OOO

The band’s name is Soronprfbs, and it might be the most unpronounceable moniker since Mr. Mxyzptlk first hit the scene to vex Superman on the DC Comics landscape. Its frontman is Frank, who’s declared a genius by everyone around him in spite of—or should that be because of?—the fact that he wears a giant papier mache head which he never removes.

And its newest member is Jon, a singularly untalented individual whose presence comes to feel like that isolated witches burr that has strategically placed itself underneath an occupied sleeping bag.

The movie is Frank, named after its most intriguing character. Played by Michael Fassbender, he’s patterned after Frank Sidebottom, the personage created by the late British comedian Chris Sievey. Jon (Domhnall Gleeson), meanwhile, might as well be a modern-day incarnation of Salieri, the mediocre court composer who lived in the shadow of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (at least in 1984’s Oscar-winning Amadeus).

But whereas Salieri was jealous and resentful, Jon seeks only to help Frank take his music to the masses. Jon, who fancies himself a songwriter (among his discarded attempts: “Lady in the red coat, what have you got in that bag? Lady in the blue coat, do you know the lady in the red coat?”), first meets the members of Soronprfbs when they pop up in his Irish burg and immediately lose their keyboardist to a bout of madness.

“I play the keyboard,” Jon tells the group’s manager Don (Scoot McNairy), and just like that, he’s with the band. Don’s friendly

LAUREN BACALL BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE enough toward him (although Jon balks when Don informs him that he did a stint in a mental hospital), but the others—a snarling experimental musician named Clara (Maggie Gyllenhaal) and French rockers Baraque (Francois Civil) and Nana (Carla Azar)—clearly don’t like him.

As for Frank, he doesn’t speak to Jon at first, but once he does, he finds much to appreciate. For his part, Jon feels that Soronprfbs can make it big, and he does everything he can to bring exposure to the band, from keeping busy with Twitter and YouTube posts to booking them at the South By Southwest Festival.

Frank is a film of questions, not answers.

Is Frank really a genius or just a guy with serious mental issues? Does madness aid in the creation of art, as people are romantically inclined to believe, or is it actually a stifling factor?

Can even the most outré of creative expressions be sanitized and commercialized? And should everyone really be given a crack at the big time, or are some artists meant to wallow in anonymity from cradle to grave?

Director Lenny Abrahamson and writers Jon Ronson and Peter Straughan don’t force any solutions on viewers, allowing everyone to make up their own minds. Certainly, they don’t make it easy: Frank might get too loopy and self-indulgent (especially when the radical Clara is at his side), but then he’s also capable of a lovely tune.

The filmmakers also indulge in a thematic symmetry that proves beneficial: Note, for continues on p. 44

instance, how a suburban stroll late in the picture perfectly matches one at the start.

As Frank, Fassbender must act without his facial expressions, a daunting task for any actor. Yet even donning that gargantuan fake head, he carves out a complete characterization, employing his body expressions to expose how this man moves, feels, analyzes.

It’s a fascinating turn that has already earned numerous rave reviews, and if these accolades don’t give the actor a big head, nothing will.

THE DROP

SEP 17-23, 2014

OOO Hollywood heavyweights have had such a blast bringing Dennis Lehane novels to the screen that it’s no surprise the author himself has elected to get in on the good times. In the wake of Clint Eastwood’s Mystic River, Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island and—the best of the bunch—Ben Affleck’s Gone Baby Gone comes The Drop, with Lehane adapting his own short story “Animal Rescue.”

With Lehane’s screenplay firmly in hand, director Michael R. Roskam (Belgium’s Oscar-nominated Bullhead) makes his U.S. debut with confidence and style, helping turn what could have been just another formula crime flick into something exciting and even unpredictable.

The title refers to the small joint that used to be owned by Marv ( James Gandolfini) until the Chechens showed up and took over everything. Once an important figure around the hood, Marv now has been reduced to middleman status, running the bar and nothing else.

His most loyal employee is his cousin Bob (Tom Hardy), a sensitive sort who works there as a bartender. Tom’s basically a loner, but his single status ends up taking a severe hit on two fronts: Nadia (Noomi Rapace), a street-smart neighbor who slowly warms up to him, and Rocco, the adorable pitbull puppy that he finds inside a trash can, beaten and abandoned.

But these glimpses of normalcy and domesticity are compromised by the sudden presence of Eric Deeds (Matthias Schoenaerts), a possible psycho making claims on both Nadia and Rocco. And if Eric’s devious machinations aren’t enough, Tom also has to contend with the aftermath of a holdup at the bar, with the Chechens insisting that Tom and Marv find and return the missing money ... or else.

Roskam’s gritty direction and Lehane’s incident-packed script are both noteworthy, yet what truly sells The Drop are the sterling 44 performances from all involved. The part

of Eric Deeds lends itself to the casting of a physically imposing individual, yet Roskam cannily cast his Bullhead star in the role, with Schoenaerts justifying his selection by employing his delicate features, soft voice and milky eyes to unsettling effect.

Rapace, she of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Prometheus, adds to her gallery of tough yet bruised survivors with another effective performance here. Hardy anchors the film with a compelling turn that’s equal parts coiled tension and sincere soulfulness.

But let’s save the last word for Gandolfini, who passed away in June 2013 with two films still awaiting release. The lovely Enough Said hit theaters last fall, meaning that The Drop stands as his final big-screen appearance.

He’s excellent in the picture, and considering he’s best known for his work on TV’s The Sopranos, it’s fitting that he makes his swan song with another piece of crime time programming.

LIFE AFTER BETH

O There’s one clever idea in Life After Beth, and it’s the suggestion that zombies really dig smooth jazz. Otherwise, when it comes to the overstuffed annals of undead cinema from A (Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies) to Z (Zombies on Broadway), this anemic effort rests near the bottom of the heap. It begins with the death of Beth Slocum (Aubrey Plaza), felled by a poisonous snake bite while hiking through the woods. Her boyfriend Zach Orfman (Dane DeHaan) is understandably devastated by the loss, and he starts spending more time with Beth’s parents, Maury and Geenie (Year of the Dog co-stars John C. Reilly and Molly Shannon).

Imagine Zach’s surprise, then, when he spots Beth lurking around the Slocum household; at first convinced that her death was a sick prank, he soon believes her parents when they tell him that she somehow came back from the dead. Geenie thinks it’s a holy resurrection while Zach figures she’s a zombie; at any rate, because she’s acting normally, with no memory of her death, Maury makes Zach promise not to tell her what really happened. That grows increasingly more difficult, not only because the Slocums don’t want their daughter ever leaving the house but also because her behavior grows more erratic—and violent—by the day.

The picture is badly paced and, for a comedy, pretty devoid of laughs, but its primary problem is that its title character never comes across as anything more than a plot device. The movie would have been more interesting had it followed Beth and how she coped with her unique situation. Instead,

the focus is squarely on Zach and the poor boy’s plight in dealing with a girlfriend who’s not all there in too many ways to count.

SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR

OO Co-conspirators Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller serve up a steaming pile of sloppy seconds with the long-delayed sequel to the 2005 hit Sin City.

When the original hit theaters nine years ago, it was a screen original, offering dazzling visuals that were intricately patterned after those found on the pages of Miller’s successful series of graphic novels. This follow-up functions in the same manner, offering shots so beautifully conceived that they represent one of the reasons why DVD remote controls offer a “pause” button.

Unfortunately, the sordid sagas on display here are by and large a feeble bunch, further hampered by atrocious continuity errors that suggest Rodriguez and Miller didn’t even have any recollections of making a Sin City flick before this one.

In the 2005 picture, the heroes were played by Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis and Clive Owen, and they all return in this combo prequel-sequel, albeit in altered versions. There was a line in Sin City about Owen’s Dwight McCarthy having had facial reconstruction, and that’s borne out with the casting of Josh Brolin as Dwight, giving us the man before he went under the knife.

In this outing, Dwight gets mixed up with a femme fatale named Ava; she’s played by Eva Green, who’s making a year out of playing strong women in weak movies (she was the only positive to be found in the execrable 300: Rise of an Empire earlier this year).

Meanwhile, Willis’ good cop Hartigan died at the end of his segment in the first picture, so here he only pops up now and then as a ghost, causing exotic dancer Nancy ( Jessica Alba) to intone, “I see dead people.”

Nancy is given the largest character arc out of any Sin City resident: Once a perpetually chipper survivalist who wouldn’t let anything get her down, she has, in the wake of Hartigan’s death, become an embittered alcoholic with suicidal tendencies. Or at least that’s what the plot suggests: As played by the limited Alba, Nancy seems less like a damaged person with a death wish and more like someone who’s local grocery store stopped carrying her favorite brand of pizza.

Then there’s Rourke’s Marv, who rightly emerged as an audience favorite after the release of the first film. In fact, Marv’s popularity explains his presence in much of this picture, as chronologically, it makes no sense for him to still be alive during at least one of the vignettes. Nevertheless, he’s the closest

thing to a constant thread in this film.

Lastly, there’s a new protagonist in the form of Johnny ( Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a cocky kid who’s an expert gambler. Johnny insists he never loses, and he elects to pit his card skills against those of Senator Roark.

Pound for pound, Johnny’s is the most interesting storyline, which makes it all the more frustrating when his saga ends on the most unsatisfactory note. Then again, it’s hard to get too worked up about anything that occurs in this disappointing neo-noir; to paraphrase Chinatown, “Forget it, Jake; it’s Sin City.”

THE NOVEMBER MAN

OO It was in 2002 that the spy trade became a young man’s game. While Pierce Brosnan was making his final appearance as James Bond in the roundly, soundly ridiculed Die Another Day, Vin Diesel came roaring to the front with xXx and Matt Damon did even better by kicking off the successful Jason Bourne franchise with The Bourne Identity.

But the older agents weren’t quite ready to throw in the towel. Daniel Craig reenergized the Bond stock with 2006’s Casino Royale, Gary Oldman picked up a Best Actor Oscar nomination for 2011’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman commanded attention in this summer’s A Most Wanted Man. And now here’s Brosnan, the former Bond himself, back in the saddle again at the age of 61, showing he’s still got what it takes by engaging in espionage activities in The November Man. It’s a pet project for the actor—he’s been trying to bring the late Bill Granger’s novel to the screen for almost a decade, and he receives an executive producer credit.

Brosnan’s Peter Devereaux is a CIA operative who quits the agency after his eagerbeaver young partner David Mason (Luke Bracey) accidentally kills a little boy during one of their missions. A CIA superior (Bill Smitrovich) shows up with an assignment, one that leads to Devereaux spring back into action. It also leads to him subsequently protecting a woman (Olga Kurylenko) who’s being sought by the CIA as well as a Russian politico (Lazar Ristovski). Once the double-crosses begin, Devereaux ends up on the run from everyone; that includes Mason, his former protégé who now has a license to kill his erstwhile mentor.

Roger Donaldson is a competent director (past credits include No Way Out with Kevin Costner and The Bank Job) and he does acceptable work in keeping this film moving. Otherwise, this is warmed-over spy vs. spy material, albeit featuring characters

whose illogical actions repeatedly place them closer on the IQ scale to Rowan Atkinson’s bumbling Johnny English than any of the Bond incarnations.

IF I STAY

OO Early summer found The Fault in Our Stars producing the tears in our eyes, but late summer can only offer the heaviness in our eyelids in the form of If I Stay. Like Stars, Stay is similarly adapted from a novel in which lovestruck kids are coping with life-and-death situations. Yet unlike that earlier teen titan, this pedestrian picture remains an emotional flatline. Chloe Grace Moretz plays Mia Hall, a high school student blessed with hip parents (Mireille Enos and Joshua Leonard), a saintly little brother ( Jakob Davies) who refrains from doing bratty little-brother things like flushing his sister’s makeup down the toilet or pelting her with spitballs during dinner, and an amazing talent as a cellist.

As if her life wasn’t already blessed enough, she also acquires a boyfriend in Adam ( Jamie Blackley), a fledgling rock star and the coolest guy at school. Matters take a turn for the horrific, though, once the Halls are involved in a brutal car accident.

R.J. Cutler directs his first theatrical feature after a career spent helming TV shows and historical documentaries, and there’s nothing to indicate that branching out was a sound decision. Working from a script by Shauna Cross, he has managed to create a film that’s banal at almost every turn, with the ample flashbacks proving to be especially suffocating. Moretz is given precious little to do besides looking anxious, while Blackley is a complete dullard as this supposedly magnetic Mick-Jagger-in-the-making.

THE EXPENDABLES 3

OO Say this for The Expendables 3: It’s arguably a fraction better than the two previous installments in this AARP-endorsed franchise. Then again, I’d hate to live on the difference.

The series has always been promoted as an all-star action romp in which all these muscular marquee fillers have equal rights, but really, it’s been a Sylvester Stallone vanity project all along. That’s never more apparent than in this entry, which finds Stallone’s Barney Ross deciding that his fellow mercenaries (among them Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren and newest old kid on the block Wesley Snipes) are, in the vernacular of Roger Murtaugh, too old for this shit.

Of course, Barney doesn’t apply this line of logic to himself, so he axes the other

oldies and surrounds himself with four young ‘uns (including Twilight player Kellan Lutz and Olympic and MMA star Ronda Rousey in her film debut) as he goes after Stonebanks (Mel Gibson), a former colleague who has long journeyed over to the dark side. Yet when these whippersnappers get captured by Stonebanks, it’s up to the seasoned soldiers to pop in their dentures and come to the rescue.

Digital Magazine

THE GIVER

OO An adaptation of Lois Lowry’s awardwinning novel, The Giver might be one of the best films of the year ... were the year 1996. As it stands, it’s merely the latest in the recent deluge of movies based on popular Young Adult titles, and it hardly stands at the head of the class.

The Giver takes place in a future world in which everyone is the same and there’s no hunger or war but also no love or music or even color (the early portion of the film is in black and white). The Receiver of Memories ( Jeff Bridges) is the only one who knows about the past, and he’s instructed by the Chief Elder (Meryl Streep) to pass his memories on to a new Receiver, a teen named Jonas (Brenton Thwaites). Now referring to himself as The Giver, the old man hopes that his young charge will use the memories as a springboard to a conscious awakening and rediscover what it truly means to be human.

Lowry’s 1993 book has long been heralded as an essential read for middle school kids, and for 18 years, Bridges had been interested in bringing it to the screen. It’s a shame no one would finance the project back in the day, when it might have stood a better chance of distinguishing itself in a pre-Harry Potter/Hunger Games era. Now it feels like a knockoff of this past spring’s Divergent, which, on the literary front, came long after Lowry’s brainchild. CS

A PREMIER GENTLEMEN’S CLUB & STEAKHOUSE

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19)

These horoscopes I write for you aren’t primarily meant to predict the future.

They are more about uncovering hidden potentials and desirable possibilities that are stirring below the surface right now.

When I’m doing my job well, I help you identify those seeds so you can cultivate them proactively. Bearing that in mind, I’ll pose three pertinent questions. 1. What experiments might stir up more intimacy in the relationships you want to deepen?

2. What could you change about yourself to attract more of the love and care you want? 3. Is there anything you can do to diminish the sting of bad memories about past romantic encounters, thereby freeing you to love with more abandon?

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)

The old Latin motto *Gradu diverso, via una* can be translated as either “Continuing on the same road, but with a different stride” or “Going the same way, but changing your pace.” I think this is excellent advice for you, Taurus. By my reckoning, you are on the correct path. You are headed in the right direction. But you need to shift your approach a bit -- not a lot, just a little. You’ve got to make some minor adjustments in the way you flow.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20) For years, Donna and George Lewis used a 33-pound, oval-shaped rock as a doorstop in their Tennessee home. Later they moved it to their garden. Then one day George analyzed it with his metal detector and realized it had unusual properties. He took it to scientists who informed him it was a rare and valuable four-and-a-halfbillion-year-old meteorite. With this as our subtext, Gemini, I’m asking you if there might be some aspect of your life that is more precious than you imagine. Now is a favorable time to find out, and make appropriate adjustments in your behavior.

CANCER

SEP 17-23, 2014

(June 21-July 22)

60

I’ve got a radical proposal, Cancerian. It might offend you. You may think I’m so far off the mark that you will stop reading my horoscopes. But I’m willing to take that risk, and I’m prepared to admit that I could be wrong. But I don’t think I am wrong. So here’s what I have to say: There is a sense in which the source of your wound is potentially also the source of the “medicine” that will heal the wound.

What hurt you could fix you. But you must be careful not to interpret this masochistically. You can’t afford to be too literal. I’m not saying that the source of your pain is trustworthy or has good intentions. Be cagey as you learn how to get the cure you need.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)

HAPPENINGS | CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE

BY ROB BREZSNY | beautyandtruth@freewillastrology.com

The prestigious *New England Journal of Medicine* published a study with a

conclusion we might expect to see in a tabloid newspaper or satirical website.

It reported that there is a correlation between chocolate consumption and Nobel Prizes. Those countries whose citizens eat more chocolate have also produced an inordinate number of Nobel laureates. So does this mean that chocolate makes you smarter, as some other studies have also suggested? Maybe, the report concluded.

Since it is especially important for you to be at the height of your mental powers in the coming weeks, Leo, why not experiment with this possibility?

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

I rarely waste my time trying to convert the “skeptics” who attack astrology with a hostile zeal that belies their supposed scientific objectivity. They’re often as dogmatic and closed-minded as any fundamentalist religious nut. When I’m in a tricky mood, though, I might tell them about the “Crawford Perspectives,” a highly-rated Wall Street investment publication that relies extensively on astrological analysis. Or I might quote the wealthy financier J. P. Morgan, who testified that “Millionaires don’t use astrology; billionaires do.” That brings us to my main point, Virgo: The astrological omens suggest that the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to put in motion plans to get richer quicker. Take advantage!

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

When Libra-born Mohandas Gandhi was 19, he moved to London from his native India to study law. Soon he got caught up in the effort to become an English gentleman. He took elocution lessons and learned to dance. He bought fine clothes and a gold watch-chain. Each morning he stood before a giant mirror and fussed with his hair and necktie until they were perfect. In retrospect, this phase of his life seems irrelevant. Years later he was a barefoot rebel leader using nonviolent civil disobedience to help end the British rule of India, often wearing a loincloth and shawl made of fabric he wove himself. With this as your inspiration, Libra, identify aspects of your current life that contribute little to the soul you must eventually become.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This might be controversial, but I suspect that for now your emphasis shouldn’t be on sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Instead, your specialties should be hard-earned intimacy, altered states that are solely the result of deep introspection, and music that arouses reverence and other sacred emotions. You are entering a phase when crafty power is less important than vigorous receptivity; when success is not nearly as interesting as meaningfulness; when what you already understand is less valuable than what you can imagine and

create.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You are entering a phase when you will reap rich rewards by nurturing the health of your favorite posse, ensemble, or organization. How is the group’s collective mental health? Are there any festering rifts? Any apathetic attitudes or weakening resolves? I choose you to be the leader who builds solidarity and cultivates consensus. I ask you to think creatively about how to make sure everyone’s individual goals synergize with the greater good.

Are you familiar with the Arabic word *taarradhin*? It means a compromise that allows everyone to win -- a reconciliation in which no one loses face.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The good news is that America has more trees than it did a hundred years ago. Aggressive efforts to replace the decimated old-growth forests have paid off. The bad news is that the new forests have a far less diverse selection of tree species than the originals. The fresh batches are often crowded into smaller spaces, so wildfires are more massive and devastating. And because so many of the forests are young, they host a reduced diversity of plant and animal life. All in all, the increased quantity is wonderful; the lower quality not so wonderful. Is there a lesson here for you? I think so. In your upcoming decisions, favor established quality over novel quantity.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

If Pope Francis isn’t traveling, he comes out to meet the public in St. Peter’s Square every Wednesday. During one such event last January, he took a few moments to bestow tender attention on a talking parrot that belonged to a male stripper. I foresee a comparable anomaly happening for you in the coming days. A part of you that is wild or outré will be blessed by contact with what’s holy or sublime. Or maybe a beastly aspect of your nature that doesn’t normally get much respect will receive a divine favor.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)

“My definition of a devil is a god who has not been recognized,” said mythologist Joseph Campbell. “It is a power in you to which you have not given expression, and you push it back. And then, like all repressed energy, it builds up and becomes dangerous to the position you’re trying to hold.” Do you agree, Pisces? I hope so, because you will soon be entering the Get Better Acquainted with Your Devil Phase of your astrological cycle, to be immediately followed by the Transform Your Devil into a God Phase. To get the party started, ask yourself this question: What is the power in you to which you have not given expression?
