NEWS & OPINION EDITOR’S NOTE

‘Fixing’ flooding is a futile goal I WRITE THIS the same day a violent and robust morning thunderstorm left many local streets flooded and impassable.

In other words, it’s summer in Savannah.

Here, such storms are common, as is the attendant flooding. Two other things are also common: 1) People frantically alerting each other on Facebook that it’s raining outside. (Do people in other towns do this?!)

2) People immediately complaining that the City doesn’t do enough to “fix” the flooding issues here.

I can’t help with the first problem. The funny thing about the second problem is we’ve already “fixed” the flooding about as much as is humanly possible. Literally.

Many people seem to be drawn to live in this area for its natural qualities, but still have problems acknowledging the full reality of those same natural qualities.

So let’s break this down: Every road and driveway, every house and hotel, every blade of grass in Chatham County sits atop an enormous, primordial sandbar.

FEEDBACK

Enough rain in a short enough period of time will tax any drainage system, but especially ours.”

This is not for lack of trying on our behalf. I’m usually pretty hard on this City government, but this is one of those occasions when I am more than happy to go to bat for them.

Taxpayers have funded about $260 million toward drainage mitigation since 1994, Bell says, mostly with SPLOST funds.

This includes pump stations along canals, to enable drainage at high tide.

Without pump stations, at very high tides drainage can literally come back up through storm drains the wrong way.

“We will continue to work on improvements, however all of the low-hanging fruit has been picked,” says Bell. “This means drainage projects will be more extensive, expensive, and disruptive, with less of an impact, than projects completed to date.”

Bell says that when the City last year bid out a drainage project for an area of Habersham Village, the cost came back at around $75 million. For about three City blocks.

Nature doesn’t care about a few flooded intersections. Nature will put all these intersections underwater soon enough.

Until then, enjoy what you have while you can, and please drive extra carefully when it rains. And stay off Facebook while you do so! CS

Editor, The sudden and horrible end of Scott Waldrup’s life has spurred an outcry among a select portion of Savannah’s citizenry.

Scott knew so many people in his corner of our city – and was so widely loved – it is not surprising that a great many folks with influence and ties to the downtown business community found themselves speaking into microphones and looking into camera lenses.

The local politicians who represent the well-heeled looked a little uncomfortable having their anti-crime feet being held to the fire, while the ones who represent the impoverished of our city seemed more at ease. But then again, they have more experience when it comes to facing the paralyzing

force of sudden tragedy, grief and outrage.

Meanwhile, the law enforcement community beats a steady drum of “Gangs! Gangs!

Gangs!” and each beat is a call for more police.

Unfortunately, the absence of police officers is not what brought about the gangs in the first place, and it’s not going to make them go away.

Crippling poverty that spans generations is at the root of Savannah’s criminal subculture. The breakdown of families (and adult supervision), schools, infrastructure, livelihood and community fabric is what leaves the young poor open to the notion of gang affiliation and an expectation that sooner or later the future will hold either incarceration or an early grave.

In the United States, more than one in five children is being raised in poverty.

Poverty at root of Savannah’s ‘criminal subculture’

Connect Savannah is published every Wednesday by Morris Multimedia, Inc

Twenty-two percent doesn’t sound as bad as it should.

You see, poverty is a community and neighborhood problem. Twenty-two percent inside some Savannah neighborhoods would be considered an astonishing turnaround for the better.

Savannah has two faces – one that is bright and shiny and facing the world and telling everyone to come for a visit.

The other is constantly being asked to turn to the right to pose for its profile mug shot.

It is this face that shows no trace of hope. No amount of policing can reconcile the division here. Only leadership will do.

It’s time to invest our financial resources in the people of Savannah who live in peril.

House by house, street by street and neighborhood by neighborhood, it’s time to come knocking on the door with

opportunity instead of a search warrant.

Reducing violent crime by 25 percent in Savannah would generate a savings on intangible costs for the city – something in the neighborhood of $200-$300 per resident.

Get things moving in the right direction, and the city can buy all the palm trees and police it wants. Maybe even two new arenas.

Savannah doesn’t need another coat of whitewash or a streetscape makeover. It needs leadership with courage and conviction … leadership that will light the path out of darkness.

Scott Waldrup lived a life of courage and conviction. His legacy is secure.

How about you, Mr. Mayor?

Council members?

BY JIM MOREKIS

jim@connectsavannah.com

The entire coastal plain of Georgia, all the way to Macon, has been underwater several times throughout prehistory. One day, it will all be underwater again.

Of all Georgia’s 159 counties, Chatham County has the lowest average elevation.

The highest natural point in Chatham County is less than 50 feet above sea level; on the islands the average elevation is 10 feet or below.

As recently as 120,000 years ago, when sea levels were about 20 feet higher, most all of this area was submerged.

Savannah is also in a tropical climate region, i.e. we have extremely intense summer rainstorms on the regular.

These storms drop more water in a short amount of time than is realistically possible for humans to alleviate, almost regardless of how much money we spend.

The one-two punch of very low elevation plus very heavy rain remains undefeated.

“While we will continue to work on this problem, we will never ‘solve’ street flooding in Savannah. We can only lessen the impact,” says Assistant City Manager Bret Bell.

Because of our low-lying, mostly tidal waterways, Bell says, “There is very little gravity to work with — water tends to want to stay in place. We are also semi-tropical — when it rains here, it rains really hard.

THE CHEERFUL rebels of the world love to say how it’s easier to get forgiveness than permission. But those people have clearly never waded into Savannah’s public art debate.

Around these parts, if you want to add an exciting design or a pop of color to the exterior of any property—public or private—that can be seen from the street, there are signatures to secure and a bureaucratic process to follow. Should you skip the red tape, you can expect a visit—or at least a strongly-worded certified letter— from the heavies at Code Enforcement, who will ask you to remove your creation or they will be happy to do it for you.

That’s not necessarily a bad thing, since the same such ordinances are what obligate slumlords to clean up crappy tags from untalented vandals and keep your nutbag neighbor from fingerpainting his favorite American Ninja Warrior on his garage.

But submitting stacks of paperwork and attending long meetings in the middle of the day can also suck all the juice out of a legit creative vision—if you were even aware of the requirements in the first place.

In late 2015, when large portraits of prominent African American cultural figures painted by beloved local folk artist Scott “Panhandle Slim” Stanton began popping up in areas of town where many fear to tread, no one thought to ask for permission.

“We didn’t know any of the rules when we started,” avows Elder Erika Hardnett of Agape Empowerment Ministries, one of the driving forces behind the Walls of Hope project.

“We just wanted to bring something positive to the community.”

Over the past year and half, more than 30 colorful likenesses of and encouraging quotes from historic influencers like James Baldwin, Bob Marley, Shirley Chisholm and India Arie have found their way to the façades of shuttered businesses on Waters Avenue, the sides of convenience stores on Montgomery Street, and increasingly, into the wealthier, whiter neighborhoods in between.

Most have welcomed the Walls of Hope to their blocks, heralding Panhandle Slim’s pieces as a soulful salve for a city wracked by poverty and violence. The great masked rabblerouser Banksy once said, “art should comfort the disturbed and disturb

the comfortable,” and we’ve got far more of the former than the latter around here.

But Walls of Hope’s artful sedition eventually caught the attention of the Metropolitan Planning Commission and the City, which sent out letters to property owners last summer giving them the choice of pursuing a permit or removing the portraits. Some took them down to avoid authoritarian conflict, though all it takes is a cruise around town to see that plenty have ignored the edict.

Homeowner Paul Suszynski filed a petition to keep the portrait of musician and Civil Rights activist Nina Simone affixed to the side of his 1886 clapboard house on Habersham near Hall Street, and it hit the agenda last week for the MPC’s Historic District Board of Review monthly meeting.

Paul stuck around for the first couple of hours as the board debated the aesthetic value of rounded roof lines and metal pilasters, but eventually had to go back to work.

(His petition was #27 on a list of over 50 items, and HDBR members also approved the design of at least THREE new hotels over the course of the afternoon.)

Those of us remaining zoned out during the zoning discussions but perked up when Historic Preservation and Urban Planning Director Ellen Harris presented the petition to save Nina. She explained that while she and her staff were not opposed to the concept of a mural in the neighborhood, because the artwork was submitted “after the fact” and wasn’t “visually compatible” with the surrounding architecture, staff recommended that board deny approval of the petition.

“This was a difficult review and a difficult decision to make,” she said to the room.

Fellow public art policy nerds know that’s not just lip service. Ellen has been a huge advocate of public art in Savannah but also has a job to do.

In addition to her vast preservation expertise, she was a major player in crafting the mural policy adopted by the city in 2012, an exacting process that involves an application, visual submissions and multiple go-rounds with the Historic Site and Monument Commission. (If they fall within in the Landmark Historic District, proposals have to pass the HDBR as well.)

While cumbersome and unspontaneous, the mural policy is still the only avenue by which artists can go big without the City dispatching buckets of beige paint.

However, Nina isn’t technically a mural—she’s painted on a piece of reclaimed piece of wood that “can come down as easily as it went up,” clarified the artist himself as he took to the podium to

address the board.

Panhandle Slim also recounted the significance of Nina Simone and the quote taken from her heart-wrenching lament, “Sunday in Savannah,” which she sang to tearful crowds in the days after Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated.

“This message is important to American history, to Georgia, it’s important to Savannah,” he implored to the board.

While some of the board members nodded in agreement, others weren’t having it.

“This isn’t the first piece of art of yours that has come before this group. There is no way you’re ignorant of how this process works,” admonished Chairman Stephen Merriman, Jr. of the artist’s civilly disobedient tendency to leave works of art around the city for anyone to claim.

Neighbor Tim Coy spoke against leaving Nina up, complaining of arbitrary code enforcements and citing how the city made him comply with an exact type of clasps for the shutters on his carriage house renovation. He also just doesn’t like the painting.

“When my wife and I first saw it, we thought it was graffiti,” he said.

“We have to look at it every day and we don’t find it inspirational at all.”

Historic Savannah Foundation Executive Director Daniel Carey weighed in against letting Nina stay. “It’s not about the aesthetics, it’s whether it is visually compatible with the guidelines and does it work with the surroundings.”

The ensuing deliberation volleyed between the social worth and the architectural inconsistencies of the mural/not mural. Board member Dwayne Stephens called the piece “disruptive” in a good way, and Kellie Fletcher posited that Nina and her quote represented Savannah history and culture, declaring “that’s what we’re here to preserve.”

Scott Cook and Becky Lynch agreed

that while they are in favor of more public art, they didn’t feel that this piece belonged on this particular block.

Keith Howington and Debra Caldwell proposed a time limit for the public portrait, which the HDBR isn’t qualified to impose and would have to be steered back through City Council.

“I see it every day, and it makes me feel good,” Mic Madon said simply. “It makes me smile.”

In the end (which wasn’t even the end of a verrrrry long meeting, bless the board for volunteering their time), the lack of permission found forgiveness: The petition squeaked by with a 4-3 vote; Chairman Merriman abstained.

So Nina Simone will see at least a few more Sundays in Savannah, at least until Historic Site and Monument Commission convenes again on August 3.

It’ll be interesting to see if any other Walls of Hope portraits come before the board before the wood pieces disintegrate on their own, and from what neighborhoods. I adore Panhandle Slim’s work, and I’m all about delightful disruption and bold color in public places.

I also appreciate the work that went into the mural ordinance and how its guidelines are intended to inspire more expression for and from Savannah, if only there were more artists willing to commit to the process. And I’m quite happy it keeps Nutbag Joe’s artistic endeavors indoors.

Still, I can’t help but think of another quote from Ms. Nina herself: “There’s no excuse for the young people not knowing who the heroes and heroines are or were.”

The Walls of Hope project and its artist have shouldered the responsibility of reflecting great women and men back to those may not know them otherwise.

Surely that kind of benevolent sedition deserves absolution? CS

Savannah LGBT Center opens with pride Bull Street facility offers camaraderie, services and more

PHOTOS BY JON WAITS/@JWAIITSPHOTO AFTER decades of dreaming, planning and fundraising, the Savannah LGBT Center is now a glorious reality.

More than 150 people crowded the new center at 1515 Bull Street and the adjoining parking lot on Thursday afternoon to celebrate the opening of the new facility, which offers meeting spaces, art galleries and a bevy of social and mental health services. Community leaders and allies congratulated members of the First City Network, Georgia’s oldest LGBT advocacy organization.

The Christy Alan Band serenaded the crowd.

“This is a special, special day,” said longtime community champion and former Savannah Pride organizer Mark Hill. “We’ve been working a long time for it all to come together.”

A satellite branch of Location Gallery featured the extraordinary paper cutouts by Peter E. Roberts, and guests toasted with beer from Service Brewing Co. and enjoyed snacks from Byrd’s Cookie Company, A Squad Bake Shop and Decadence Delivered.

One couple got even more when they happened upon the center that day.

“They’re from Florida and basically homeless,” said FCN chair Michael Polski.

“They found us, and we were able to refer them to agencies and get them help. That’s the kind of support we can offer now.” CS

‘We’re going to maintain our humanity’

Fluorite

Writer Gwen Strauss studies the struggles of refugees, past and present

BY ORLANDO MONTOYA

SAVANNAHPODCAST.COM

YOU CAN look the other way. You can turn off the TV. But it won’t stop reality.

Humanity is experiencing its greatest refugee crisis since WWII, with conflict and persecution forcing millions to flee places like Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq.

And, right on schedule, across Europe and America, the crisis has given rise to the predictable, racist and xenophobic response: populists and fascists telling you to fear an enemy. Writer Gwen

Strauss thought this would be a great subject for a children’s book.

“The majority of the refugees in the world right now are under 18,” she says.

“I just feel like the refugee story is a children’s story that needs to be told to other children.”

Only Strauss didn’t write about the Middle East or today’s headlines. She went back into her own family history to weave a kid-friendly tale about hope, struggle and survival in the midst of an earlier conflict, the one whose mistakes we said we’d never allow again.

The Hiding Game, illustrated by Herb Leonard, is an intense and colorful run through the story of an “American Schindler,” Varian Fry, who in 1940-1941 successfully hid and saved Jews and

anti-Nazi refugees in Vichy France. The work was incredibly dangerous.

“He was working against all odds to smuggle, to create escape routes, to wrangle visas,” Strauss says of Fry’s illegal efforts, conducted under the cloak of a legal group called the Emergency Rescue Committee. “They got 2,200 people that way out of France.”

Fry had helpers, of course. And one of them was Strauss’ great-uncle, Danny Benedite, a Paris policeman who preferred exile in the south to Nazi collaboration.

“My uncle went to meet him and Varian immediately recognized that this was someone he needed.”

Some of the refugees Fry and Benedite helped save include French writer Andre Breton, German painter Max Ernst and Czech composer Bohuslav Martinu. The artistry of these refugees made Fry and Benedite’s villa in southern France a place of beauty and song.

This aspect of the book enlivens the story as told through the eyes of a girl, Aube, who spends each day singing, playing games and making art. “These fascist governments work with fear. That’s their tool. That’s how they get power and keep power,” Strauss says. “And so these artists thought, the way we have to fight back is by joy and laughter.”

Frankly, that’s another lesson worth highlighting in bold. A lot of today’s resistance fighters are just plain angry and sad.

Maybe they have rights to be. But a strong message of Strauss’ The Hiding Game is that art, play and song are all forms of salvation.

“They believed we’re going to show them that they can’t crush us,” she says.

“We’re going to maintain our humanity, our creative liveliness and in that way we will show power that they can’t squash the human spirit.”

Strauss lives in Marseilles today but worked at SCAD for several years and once led the college’s Lacoste campus. Earlier this year she visited Savannah for the book launch. That’s when she told me that Aube, the girl telling the book’s story, is a real life person.

“Aube’s family bought a house right next to where my grandmother lived,” she says of the Loire Valley, where many artists later settled. Aube is Aube Breton, the writer’s daughter, put by Fry and Benedite, along with her father, on a ship to the US in 1941.

Who are the Aubes and Bretons waiting in camps today? Who are today’s Frys and Benedites? Strauss’ book is a great way to ask these questions and share some little-known history about a man, Fry, now considered “Righteous Among Nations.” CS

NEWS & OPINION STRAIGHT DOPE

Historically, what has been the leading cause of death for humans? Imagine a chart of all causes of death for every human who has ever died. Will it be prehistoric causes of death due to the tens of thousands of years they had to accumulate, or will it be more modern causes due to the population explosion that came with civilization?—Mr. Kobayashi THIS IS going to involve some guesswork, Mr. K. OK, a lot of guesswork. But it needn’t be just a shot in the dark. What we need is a defensible method. Let’s see what we can figure out.

As you rightly intuit, the answer depends on how many people were alive during the successive epochs of history, since the leading causes of death have shifted over time.

Here we have the benefit of work done by others. In the 1970s, when fears about the population explosion were at their peak, the story arose that 75 percent (or some other large fraction) of all people who’d ever been born were then alive—the idea being that we’d reached the hockeystick inflection point on the growth

curve and population was increasing exponentially.

Though durable, this tale had no basis in reality. We know this thanks to the Population Reference Bureau, a D.C.-based not-for-profit that’s been tracking global population statistics since 1929. The PRB came up with estimates for the number of people born per era, as summarized below (I’ve tweaked the numbers to bring things up to date):

“The answer depends on how many people were alive during the successive epochs of history, since the leading causes of death have shifted over time.”

• 50,000 B.C. to 8,000 B.C.—about 1 billion; • 8,000 B.C. to 1 A.D.—about 46 billion; • 1 to 1850 A.D.—about 47 billion; • 1850 to present—about 14 billion.

Total: 108 billion. In other words, nearly 90 percent of people who have ever lived were born prior to 1850. The world’s population today, roughly 7.5 billion, accounts for about 7 percent of all people who have ever lived.

PRB concedes that plenty of guesswork went into these numbers. (For more on their methodology, see: www. prb.org/Publications/Articles/2002/ HowManyPeopleHaveEverLivedonEarth.)

But let’s assume they’re right. We can reasonably take 1850 as the point at which industrialization and urbanization had begun to get traction in parts of the world.

Prior to then, the vast majority of humanity lived in rural settings without modern sanitation, got by on minimal calories, had no access to healthcare worthy of the name, and died young—in large part because many children died before age five and many women died in childbirth. (The latter two problems didn’t recede in the U.S. until the 20th century.)

We can thus rule out as candidates for leading cause of death what we might call

diseases of modernity: heart disease, cancer, stroke, Alzheimer’s, etc. These are what you succumb to if you survive the scourges of antiquity.

Let’s talk about those scourges. Disease, famine, and war are obvious candidates; mother/child mortality must also be included. Famine and war are episodic and in terms of quantity, year over year, surely trail disease. We’ve already excluded non-communicable diseases common in the developed world; what remains may be broadly categorized as infectious disease, which overlaps to some extent with mother/child deaths.

Some would be content to let it go at that, but surely we can fine things down a bit. Let’s push on.

Our task is complicated by the fact that mortality statistics prior to 1900 are hopelessly inadequate. On the Internet we find lots of theories based on fragmentary or anecdotal data. Malaria is popular—some claim it’s caused half of all human deaths.

Tuberculosis has its adherents. Limit the time period or geographical range and you

can make a case for smallpox or the Black Death.

We can do better than that. We don’t have good data for most of history, but we have OK data for most of the world now.

One of the best-known collectors is the World Health Organization, which publishes top-ten causes-of-death lists for different “economy income groups.”

These lists differ sharply. For highincome economies, the leading cause of death is heart disease, followed by stroke and Alzheimer’s.

For the other end of the scale, here’s a quote from WHO: “More than half (52%) of all deaths in low-income countries in 2015 were caused by the so-called ‘Group I’ conditions, which include communicable diseases, maternal causes, conditions arising during pregnancy and childbirth, and nutritional diseases.” Sounds to me like what you’d have expected worldwide prior to 1850.

The leading CoD? Lower respiratory infection (chiefly pneumonia, bronchitis, and influenza), followed by diarrheal disease (dysentery, cholera, etc.), stroke, and heart disease. Tuberculosis and malaria are numbers six and seven, preterm birth complications and birth asphyxiation are eight and nine.

The list doesn’t precisely replicate what you’d have found in antiquity. The number-five cause of death in poor countries now is HIV/AIDS, and number ten is road injury, both modern problems.

Even in low-income economies, modern medicine has likely pushed TB and malaria lower on the list than they’d have been in centuries past. But I’d say the WHO ranking is pretty close. CS

SERVICE BREWING!

Celebrate with beer, ‘za, and live music from Becca Mancari and Roadkill Ghost Choir

BY ANNA CHANDLER

JULY 19-25, 2017

Becca Mancari returns to Savannah this weekend.

16

A GOOD HOST never runs out of booze, so guests are in good hands at Service Brewing’s big bash at their Indian Street HQ. For three years, Savannah’s enjoyed heady pours and small batch specials from the local craft brewers, and the fabulous Service team is throwing a shindig to celebrate its successes.

Get ready to enjoy a special wheatwhine beer, brewed with vanilla bean, milk sugar, and over 500 pounds of Savannah Bee Company wildflower honey delicious pies from Big Bon Pizza, and live music.

Savannah’s own DJ Jose Ray will start spinning at 4 p.m., with Becca Mancari following at 7:30 p.m. and Roadkill Ghost Choir at 9:30 p.m. Savannah’s been digging Roadkill Ghost Choir’s Americana-steeped rock sound for years ‘round these parts, and fans are thrilled for the return of singer-songwriter Mancari and her band.

With a rich voice, captivating lyricism, and a sound that turns roots music on its head with modern underpinnings and subtly experimental sensibilities, Mancari has the music world wrapped around her finger—and she hasn’t even released an album.

The Nashville-based musician is gearing up to release her debut LP, Good Woman, in October. She also just debuted a new project, Bermuda Triangle, with friends Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes and Nashville songwriter Jesse Lafser.

We talked with Mancari about the hard work she’s poured into Good Woman, the music she grew up with, and her adoration of Savannah.

So, Wednesday night was huge! How’d the Bermuda Triangle debut go?

It was amazing. It’s one of those things where honestly we are just truly are just really good friends, and who knows.

There’s no plans for now—our only plan is to have fun and enjoy it.

How long have you been working on Good Woman?

This has been like a true labor of love. I think it’s a perfect time, and even some of the road blocks we’ve had, down to having to scrape up time to get into the recording studio, figuring out schedules—it’s become perfect time. We’re ready, and the first single is coming out next Friday, July 21, “Arizona Fire.”

Why did you choose that song for the first single?

I think it’s a little bit of a curveball. The record has a lot of different emotions, and a lot of the way it goes is like a little wave.

We’re starting the record with that song, too—we felt the emotion was important to start it that way then go into a lighter song for the next one. We’re serious about you joining me in this emotional song.

In putting the record together, did you approach it thematically, is it a collection of songs from over the years…?

It’s a little bit of both. Some of the songs have been with me for a while, and some have come through getting ready for this [album]. Even the title track, “Good Woman”…we were putting this record together and I sent that song as a voice memo to my manager. He had never heard it before and said, “This is it, Becca. This is what we should call the record, even!”

It’s the last song on the album…I think this is a song a lot of people are going to respond to in a familiar way.

Did you consider a lot of these songs complete before hitting the studio or was there a lot of tinkering once you got in there?

Kyle Ryan, who did my record, is Kacey Musgraves’ band leader and an incredible artist in his own right. He was basically another member in this band—he’s incredible! If people who hear this record aren’t tearing his door down to get to him…

[Laughs]. He’s magical. And he and I, we spent, I’d say, countless hours together in the studio working these songs.

I wrote most of these by myself, but my band is such a big part of what I do, and their involvement is all over this record.

All the songs are recorded by my live band; there’s no hired guns. They’re all my

friends and people I work with.

I did grow up on that, but my dad loved the Beatles, too.

You’re a Nashville transplant. Your sound has its traditional elements, but it really pushes at the edges of that.

What’s it like developing a sound in a town that is known for such a steeped country tradition?

We’re doing a lot of touring, and I’m really excited about that. We’ll be back with Hurray For the Riff Raff and down to the Bragg Jam. We’re just excited to continue to release singles be on the road and we’re going to have a big ol’ party!

like this.

I read that your first CD was by Jennifer Knapp—I’d totally forgotten about her! Did you grow up on a lot of contemporary Christian music?

My folks are ministers, so I grew up in a very pretty intense, conservative home.

For me, I knew what I liked already and

I found that, I guess, through Jennifer Knapp. She’s an exceptional writer, and the first record blew my mind in a way I didn’t know music could be written. Her voice and the way she sang, to me, made sense, because she didn’t sing like other girls. I feel like a lot of women unfortunately have been sold an idea of having “a sound,” and the sound when I heard her sing—that’s her sound, to me. That’s what spoke to me. So

t h e

Yeah! We went through there, they were releasing a new brew.

We played with Susto in Savannah and it was one of my favorite shows. I just want Savannah folks to know: If you want me to be one of your girls, I wanna be one of your girls! I love that scene. It’s one my favorite places to go; I almost wish I could move there. We are team Savannah! CS

It’s very hard if you want to branch out from a certain sound; even the language people use to describe you. That’s been a hard thing for me.

I have found that I always say to people who call me country musician, “Listen, I love old country and honestly, I’m just not good enough to play old country music.” I think, “Good God! Good luck trying to be a Loretta Lynn or Hank Williams. I don’t wanna be either.

That’s been really important to me: for us to find our own way. I think my favorite artist and writers, they’re always pushing the boundaries. Neil Young is one of my favorites; he always pushed, even if it wasn’t great, it was, “This is what I’m doing. Get on board.”

Same way with what we’re doing. We’re going to play steel like it’s a space instrument. That’s what we all agreed upon.

It’s a little bit hard, but it’s also exciting, because I think we do stand out in a town

Besides the album release, what are you looking forward to in the near future?

Budding filmmaker brings scene together with doc, mixtape

BY ANNA CHANDLER

anna@connectsavannah.com

A LOCAL budding filmmaker is sharing the stories of Savannah’s hip-hop scene for a good cause.

Taylor Henderson, director, producer, writer, and cinematographer of theSAV: Documentary was bartending on the Southside when he got his first real glimpse into his hometown hip-hop scene.

While he was behind the bar slinging drinks, Rapper Dirty K pumping up the crowd, hosting a freestyle hip-hop battle.

“While I was working, I got to see a bit of the local scene,” he recalls. “I wondered, ‘Why don’t I know more about this?’”

Henderson, an amateur filmmaker who, after some time in Atlanta, had recently moved back home and purchased a camera, was intrigued and inspired.

Soon, he was attending local battles and concerts with a camera and tripod, capturing the sound and stories of Savannah’s rappers.

“You show up with a camera and people act in one of two ways,” he explains.

“They either want to tell you everything about their life, or they want nothing to do with you. I did that for a couple of months, just sourcing people, sourcing stories, and trying to figure out what I want to say.”

In speaking with performers from across the city—Reesey Da Don, Joe “Fatboye Tweezy” Cooper, Akil Da Beat, Miggs Son Daddy, Marquice L. Williams (QuicetheBeast), and Katrina “Dirty K” Johnson—Henderson gained a variety of perspectives on the separation of the scene, Savannah’s history of violence, and the importance of educating and uplifting youth.

The result is the 15-minute film theSAV: Documentary, and an accompanying mixtape.

As he began his interviews, Henderson found that, for a relatively small city, Savannah’s hip-hop scenes are largely separated by neighborhood.

“After a couple months of filming, I’d be talking to people and mention other people I’d spoken to, and they had no idea who they were, simply because the individual usually only stayed at the one place they liked to perform—Island Breeze, The Jinx, Sunny’s, Spitfire Poetry,” he says.

“Those bubbles were very tightly knit.

Interview after interview, I noticed that pattern and tried to figure out why these people weren’t working together and if that’s holding Savannah’s identity back.”

In his interviews, Henderson enjoyed

exploring the varying nuances of Savannah hip-hop and the stylistic differences that exist within a few mile radius.

“There are small differences,” he says.

“The Spitfire guys are more conscious lyricists. The Garden City guys, some are much more of the down, original, Southern dirty trap. But to group everyone up like that would undo the entire purpose of this film. It’s about the individual building toward the city’s identity, not ‘You only sound like this because you’re from here.’”

Williams, an organizer of Spitfire Poetry Group and one half of the experimental hip-hop duo South Indies, notes in theSAV that people are often quick to make assumptions about other neighborhoods and the content of their music.

Others, like Dirty K, think people prefer to stay in their comfort zones, though she believes there’s more to rap than performing in the same club.

Plus, the 2003 death of Camoflauge still impacts the scene, and his legacy resonates.

“There’s always that looming threat of, ‘If I get too famous, someone’s going to take notice in the wrong way,’” says

Henderson. “There are so many elements I was capturing of why we don’t have an identity, a renaissance Camoflauge…and it goes further than that. The identity someone possesses being from the Westside or the Southside, that is so engrained in a lot of people. ‘I’m not going to fuck with anyone that’s over there because they aren’t going to appreciate me.’ You have a very fragmented community that, if it just came together, we would be able to rival Atlanta.”

The filmmaker was emboldened to make connections and merge talent. Enter theSAV: Mixtape, a digital compilation featuring tracks from Southside, Eastside, Westside, and downtown rappers.

The first three tracks were recorded exclusively for the mixtape. Several rappers—strangers at first—would enter the studio and create a song together.

“The guys were able to get into the room together…and you put those guys together, the common denominator is they’re all artists and creators, and all they want to do is make music,” says Henderson.

“Take away ‘Oh, I only go to Sunny’s or Jinx,’ and you put them with someone

“The guys were able to get into the room together…and you put those guys together, the common denominator is they’re all artists and creators, and all they want to do is make music. Take away ‘Oh, I only go to Sunny’s or Jinx,’ and you put them with someone they’ve never crossed paths with who is also passionate about music—they click.” they’ve never crossed paths with who is also passionate about music—they click.

It took not only 20 minutes in the studio for these guys to vibe with each other and build raps off each other.”

The collaboration resulted in “I love you SAV” (produced by Reagan Slater and Blissfall) by Reese da Don, TAY PHOENIXXX, and Miggs Son Daddy, “burden of blessings” (produced by Regan Slater and Blissfall) by QuicetheBeast, Just a Glanc3, and Fatboye Tweezy, and “on and on fire” (produced by Reagan Slater and Acebeatz)

by Fatboye Tweezy and QuicetheBeast.

The album also features solo tracks from those artists as well as Akil da Beat, Dirty K, and Young Caffeine.

Profits from mixtape downloads will go directly back into the community to

benefit at-risk youth.

Henderson was pushed to document theSAV in 2016 when Savannah reached its 50th homicide of the year. Throughout the documentary, artists share how music is an escape from violence and a crab-in-abucket life.

“A lot of it is at the youth level,” Henderson says. “The idea is, these kids don’t have anything. All they have is their environment. You see that over and over again, you become that environment. We need more youth programs, more music programs… but that’s not where the city’s budget goes.”

With Williams’ help, Henderson decided that Park Place Youth Center would receive mixtape profits.

“It’s an incredible institution that’s been around since the ‘80s,” he says.

“I was humbled by what they were doing. I knew I wanted to take the whole thing further—instead of making a dope album and film, let’s do something with it.

Let’s give back to this city, because we all love this city, but it has problems.”

After his first endeavor, Henderson hopes to continue exploring film and telling important stories; currently, he’s making a music video for Akil da Beat.

“I would love to keep doing docs more than anything,” he says. “I didn’t go to school for it, but I like it a lot more than Excel spreadsheets and making sales calls!” CS

This River followed in 2013, featuring songs like “Florabama,” “99 Shades of Crazy,” and “Your Lady, She’s Shady,” and the band shared their most recent effort, Ol’ Glory, in 2015.

Grey set a personal record for the time he spent tweaking and polishing the songs for Ol’ Glory, and the hard work paid off.

Light and dark are balanced beautifully with memorable lyrics and definitive melodies. Summoning images of mossy oaks and name-dropping streets in his hometown, Grey continues to paint a vividly true and intimate portrait of the Sunshine State with his tone and words.

Live, the band is absolutely eruptive, delivering prime chops and an engaging show for all. The Stage on Bay is about to transform into a one-night, down-home Florida juke joint—roots-rock, blues, and jam fans, don’t sleep on it. CS

MUSIC THE BAND PAGE

CITY HOTEL @THE SENTIENT BEAN

Singer-songwriter and bassist Andalyn Lewis heads to Savannah this weekend with her band.

At 17 years old, Asheville-hailing Lewis has played hundreds of gigs throughout the Southeast since making her stage debut at age nine. With a tremendous voice and rock ‘n’ roll edge to her country sound, she’s taking the region by storm.

In 2014, she released the country anthem “Carolina Summer,” a sunshiny anthem bidding farewell to the year’s hottest days; the corresponding video won a WNC Video Music Award. A debut EP, “Perfect Excuses,” followed, and Lewis kicked off summer 2017 with a fresh EP, “Main Attraction.” Slickly produced and chock-full of powerful choruses and gritty rock guitars, a love of classic rock and throwback country shines through her sound.

Lewis and her band—dad Harry Lewis on drums and Zach Haney on guitar—will play a mix of originals and blues, rock, and Americana covers at Wild Wing.

TONY ARATA, LESLIE SATCHER @TYBEE POST THEATER

Catch two of country music’s most in-demand songwriters at Tybee Post Theater.

Tony Arata was born right here in Savannah, grew up on Tybee Island, and earned a degree in journalism right up the road at Georgia Southern University. While going to school in Statesboro, Arata began playing in bands and sharing his original compositions with the locals.

He took those talents to Nashville and began a career penning hits for superstar country musicians. Those hits include “The Dance,” recorded by Garth Brooks (who called Arata ‘the king of soul in songwriting’), “Here I Am,” recorded by Patty Loveless, and “I’m Holding My Own” by Lee Roy Parnell.

Arata records under his own name, too, and has cut three solo albums. He’ll play his solo work and radio hits at his Tybee Post Theater show.

Arata is joined by Texas songwriter Leslie Satcher. A fellow writer of number ones, the “Texas Tornado” penned Merle Haggard and Gretchen Wilson’s “Politically Uncorrect,” Martina McBride’s “Women God-Fearin’ Get the Blues,” George Strait’s “Troubadour,” Pam Tillis’s “Heartache,” Travis Tritt’s “Mission of Love,” and Kellie Pickler’s “Tough.”

Satcher signed with Warner Bros. Records and released a solo album, Love Letters, in 2002. After a break in 2006, she continues to sing, write, and release music.

DOUGIE POOLE, JEFF ZAGERS @EL-ROCKO LOUNGE

Enjoy an evening of beautifully unusual songwriting at El-Rocko this Saturday.

Dougie Poole’s songs are complex, lonely stretches of spaghetti Western desert where winsome synths roll like tumbleweeds in a surrealist landscape. Basslines are decidedly un-country and create an unexpected foundation for his unusual sound, but it’s Poole’s wide acoustic guitar strums, campfire harmonies, and his tremoring cowboy mourn that truly pulls the heartstrings.

The New York based singer-songwriter released his self-produced debut, Wideass Highway, in February. With song titles ranging from “Less Young but as Dumb,” “Dying on the Wrong Bus,” and “Port Authority Hymn,” Poole’s elegantly wry chronicles of solitude owe as much to indie-pop gods The Magnetic Fields as George Jones.

Savannah’s own Jeff Zagers is a perfect act to share a bill of Victrola-era melodies and meditative arrangements.

TONY ARATA & LESLIE SATCHER

Six years is a long time in band years, particularly in town like Savannah where residents come and go. For a band to exist for six years and retain all its original members? Well, that’s a cause for a celebration.

Rally ‘round award-winning bluegrass troupe City Hotel as they salute their storied time together at a special family-friendly bandiversary show.

After all this time, Cory Chambers, Aaron Zimmer, Jay Rudd, and Anthony Teixeira are still dishing out quality, vintage-toned tunes for the roots-loving masses, growing as players, and strengthening as a dynamic four-piece.

To celebrate, they’ll play their first two albums in their entirety and make some special announcements about their highly-anticipated third release. Fans can secure a pre-order of the album on the night of the concert.

CULTURE LOCAL HISTORY

NEW AMERICAN PROHIBITION MUSEUM IS THE TOAST OF THE TOWN

BY JESSICA LEIGH LEBOS

jll@connectsavannah.com

BE IT in a fluted glass or a red Solo cup, partaking in adult beverages is undoubtedly one of Savannah’s favorite official pastimes. But it wasn’t always so.

In fact, the very first act of alcohol prohibition in America was decreed right here on the cobblestones by General Oglethorpe himself in 1735, who asked King George II

to issue orders that “NO Rum or Brandy nor any other kind of Spirits or Strong Waters” shall be brought to the city.

All forms of alcohol were banned in the colony of Georgia—along with slavery and lawyers—for a time, anyway. But nothing could dampen Savannah’s relationship with “strong waters.” (Just ask Shia LaBeouf.)

Despite renewed efforts to ban booze throughout the centuries, bootleggers, barkeeps and moonshiners made sure the city’s cup runneth over.

“It was called the ‘spigot of the South,’” explains Kayla Black, the general manager of the new American Prohibition Museum in City Market.

“When Georgia went dry in 1908, Savannah threatened to secede and form the ‘State of Chatham.’”

Savannah figures prominently in the Temperance Movement that led to the 18th Amendment, chronicled through the museum’s two-floor exhibition of fascinating memorabilia and hi-tech multimedia.

Black says the 5500 sq.-foot attraction has been a hit since it opened its doors on Memorial Day weekend, often doubling its projected two hundred visitors a day. (It might have something to do with the fact that’s it’s the only museum in town with a full bar, but more on that later.)

Visitors are greeted by expressive, lifesize wax figures created by the folks at Potter’s Wax Museum in St. Augustine, and both share a parent company with the wildly popular Boston’s Tea Party Museum

and Key West’s Shipwreck Museum.

The American Prohibition Museum is run by Old Town Trolley Tours, who along with the Georgia Historical Society helped source authentic local artifacts and thread Savannah history into the museum’s narrative, making it a fascinating stop for locals and tourists.

Vintage bottles and a cooktop moonshine still recovered from a local home are on display, as well as remnants of alcohol-free items sold during Prohibition by big brands, like Coors Malted Milk and Yuengling ice cream (the beer company recently revived its foray into the dairy business and released its “Butterbeer” flavor this summer.)

The interactive installations—including talking portraits of America’s beer forefathers and a whiskey gutter that recreates where children used to fill buckets for their parents off the street—are educational and entertaining for all ages.

Famous teetotaler Carrie Nation, known for wielding a hatchet that she used to tear up illegal bars, gets her own corner, and aspiring flappers can don a cloche hat and practice their Charleston in a full-length mirror.

But it is actual humans that bring the exhibits to life: Local actors in period dress serve as informed docents and captivating storytellers, riffing on their characters.

“If anyone has any illegal booze, I make sure they bribe me,” says Justin Kent with a wink, dressed as an Eliot Ness-style federal agent. Depending on the day, the Odd Lot improv vet also plays a gangster in service of Al Capone, another important historical figure in the Prohibition era.

Capone’s legend is recounted by beloved theater pro JinHi Soucy Rand, who emulates the Roaring 20s in a drop-waisted dress and feather headpiece.

“Everyone has a Capone story,” says Rand of one of the most popular rooms in the museum. “Half the time, visitors here are telling me about their connections.”

The docents also work to put Prohibition in context with other facets of American culture, including the rise of the KKK, NASCAR, the federal penal system and women’s rights.

“It’s no accident that the 18th Amendment and the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote, passed at almost the same time,” reminds Rand of the suffragettes.

Adds Black, “Women led the Temperance Movement because their home lives were stymied by public drunkenness. They also led the movement to repeal Prohibition when they realized the speakeasy culture was claiming their daughters.”

Speaking of speakeasys, a plain door with a suspicious pair of eyes peeking through a slot leads to a finely-appointed barroom, known only by its descriptor, Congress Street Up. Those who purchase an $8 drink ticket with admission can offer it up here for a Prohibition-era beer or signature craft cocktail, including a swill of Chatham Artillery Punch made from the original 18th-century recipe. “It’s not the jungle juice version,” assures Black.

Underage visitors have their own section, and everyone passes through Capone’s chop shop to exit through the gift shop.

Once the museum closes at 5, however, the party is just getting started. Those 21 and over enter through the red door at 220 West Congress for an expanded drink menu with special treats like a Brandy Alexander float made with Leopold’s ice cream. Proper attire is required; “dress to impress” like you would for an upscale dining experience, implores the website.

“We take mixology very seriously,” says bartender Amelia Thompson. “We want to serve the best craft cocktails in Savannah.”

The American Prohibition Museum is open every day except St. Patrick’s Day, when all of Savannah celebrates its freedom to imbibe.

But if you’re looking to liquor up at the speakeasy, don’t go on a Sunday, when a throwback to local blue laws means that the museum doesn’t serve booze at all.

“See? There’s a little bit of Prohibition still with us,” says Black with a grin. CS Visit the American Prohibition Museum at 209 West St Julian Street or americanprohibitionmuseum.com.

Modern Gladiators, ancient roots

Jared Seff’s new show opens July 21

BY RACHAEL FLORA

“Butterfly” is one of the compositional studies included in “Modern Gladiators.” PHOTO COURTESY OF JARED SEFF.

only light I use in the painting is on that stage, in the ring.”

Through history, fighters have often been portrayed as athletes and heroes, particularly in the Greco-Roman era. That style of art has always resonated with Seff.

“Prior to doing any of these paintings, I really gravitated towards representational art, in the post-classic era, post-GrecoRoman era, and at artists who would look back towards the classics as a way of representing the figure, especially,” Seff explains, noting that he likes the David and Goliath trope.

While Seff’s paintings hold a decidedly ancient feel, they don’t feel timeless. In the background of “Jeremy’s First Fight,”

banners advertise Tapout and Budweiser, and audience members record the bouts with their cell phones. “O Sister, Where Art Thou” shows Samantha’s tattooed back as she knocks out her opponent. The retention of modern placeholders gives the paintings a very unique feeling.

“Even though you can find boxing paintings, you can’t find a lot of people doing that today, especially in traditional representational style. But additionally, you can’t find paintings like this of MMA, because it’s a new sport,” Seff notes.

“It feels simultaneously very new and fresh, but this way of being represented is very ancient. I think that’s a really interesting and unique dichotomy.”

Seff’s pieces in the show range from larger, completed paintings like “Jeremy’s First Fight” to small, unfinished compositional studies, all of which display strong movement. He includes one still life of boxing gloves hanging over a painting of the ancient sculpture “Boxer at Rest.”

The inclusion of that painting brings all of Seff’s influences together in one neat package.

“There’s a direct link to the past and the fact that this theme is a really ancient one,” Seff muses. CS “Modern Gladiators” opens Thursday, July 21 at Roots Up Gallery and will remain up through August 18.

JULY 19-25, 2017

IT’S SAID that twins and triplets live their lives finely in tune. They experience each other’s emotions, share each other’s pain, and generally share a strong connection that singleton siblings don’t experience.

So when Jared Seff’s triplet siblings, Samantha and Jeremy, both got into MMA fighting, Jared obviously felt a strong tie to the sport.

Jared went to Jeremy’s first fight in 2013 and brought his sketchbook to help calm his nerves. The result of that sketching is “Modern Gladiators,” a collection of paintings of MMA fighters. The main painting, “Jeremy’s First Fight,” was included in Jared’s senior exhibition at SCAD and caught the attention of Leslie Lovell at Roots Up Gallery, where the collection hangs.

“I didn’t really like the idea of watching my brother fight,” confides Seff. “Growing up, we never got into fights! We were very peaceful people. I just brought my sketchbook as a way of coping with it, and I drew the entire time he was there. It was the only time I wasn’t shaking from nerves.”

That fight inspired Seff to delve deeper into fighting, both by watching more fights and by studying artistic depictions of boxing through history.

Seff drew much of his inspiration from the Ashcan School Movement of the early twentieth century, in which artists used dark colors and broad, gestural brushwork. George Bellows, one of the school’s students, is renowned for his paintings of boxers.

“It’s pretty close to how it felt,” Seff says of “Jeremy’s First Fight.” “I was definitely referencing the Thomas Eakins paintings and the [Ashcan School Movement] painters that had these pretty darkly lit scenes, but [the lighting] lends itself to the theme really well because it becomes a stage rather than the ring.

FOOD & DRINK BOOK REVIEW

SINCE 2001  BREWING COFFEE & COMMUNITY

SAVANNAH FOOD:

A delicious history, and loving chronicle

BY JIM MOREKIS

jim@connectsavannah.com

DOCUMENTING a food scene as rapidly evolving as Savannah’s—especially recently—is a challenge. But the new book Savannah Food: A Delicious History, by Stu and Donald Card, does an admirable job of hitting the high spots and trends.

I’m a sucker for cuisine books with a healthy dose of history. And the history in Savannah Food is compelling, but never overwhelming or tedious.

As you might expect, the journey begins in the Colonial era. One of the first notable gathering places in town was Tondee’s Tavern, site of sedition against the crown.

While the tavern itself burned in the great fire of 1796, occupying the Broughton

Street lot today is The Coffee Fox—a wonderful nod to the continuity that food and drink traditions can bring to a city.

There is an intriguing spotlight on the Habersham House—what the world knows better today as The Olde Pink House. The home of James Habersham was also the place where the Declaration of Independence was first read aloud in Savannah.

An extensive portion of the book is devoted to Smith Brothers Butcher Shop, representative of not only a great old Savannah name in cuisine, but one of the hottest new businesses in the continuing renaissance of the downtown district.

As you’d expect, Savannah Food delves a good bit into local seafood market lore, though really an entire book could be devoted to just that. Here, the focus is on the extended Russo/Mathews clan and their collective influence on local taste buds.

A large chapter is devoted to the African-American food tradition in Savannah, with a nice effort to delve into the culture and folkways of the Gullah-Geechee tradition which informs so much local life.

The authors spend a lot of time talking with Teresa Weston, current owner of Wall’s BBQ downtown. While this mention—along with a sidenote on Clary’s Cafe—might inspire criticism for focusing on tourist-frequented places, the authors’ segment on off-the-beaten-path Randy’s BBQ establishes their barbecue bona fides.

Particularly interesting is the segment focusing on River Street’s oldest restaurant, the Boar’s Head Grill & Tavern, one of those old school classics that can get lost amid the inevitable hype of the next hot new place on the foodie scene.

Intriguingly, the authors make the case that the Boar’s Head might have the best shrimp ‘n’ grits in town—the starting point for a spirited local debate.

No chronicle of Savannah foodie history would be complete with something about the Crystal Beer Parlor, which, according to the book, has a claim to being the first restaurant in the U.S. to sell alcohol immediately following the repeal of Prohibition, while it was owned by the legendary William “Blocko” Manning.

“Reports insinuated that the booze was already on the premises on December 5, 1933, and that not only the police but also the customers were aware of Blocko’s ongoing bootlegging and speak-easy,” the authors write.

Savannah Food features a nice, up-todate look at the rebirth of this great local name, since 2009 under its new ownership of John Nichols—who himself could get a chapter all his own! Maybe next book... CS

FOOD & DRINK BREW/DRINK/RUN

Look for the upsidedown bottle Certified Independent Craft Beer movement gaining momentum

BY RAYMOND GADDY

Team@brewdrinkrun

AFTER A meteoric rise, the craft beer market has slowed over the last year.

For the past few years prior to 2016, craft beer saw double-digit growth. That was not the case in 2016 when growth slowed to 6 percent.

While many industries would be thrilled with 6 percent growth, this drop has raised worry for many in the craft beer market.

There are three perceived threats to continued sustainability in the market.

The first is the simple fact that the boom in craft beer has led to significant competition within the market. While having too many breweries may not be a problem for your average beer drinker, the sheer number of craft breweries in the market — about 5300 and growing —has led to an increase in competition for shelf-space in stores, materials for brewing and tap handles in restaurants and bars.

This problem is complicated by stagnation in the overall number of beer drinkers. While the average American is still a beer drinker, the shape of the alcohol market is changing.

As millennials reach drinking age they seem to be more likely to experiment with various drinks. Beer is part of the equation, but wine and white spirits, especially tequila, are on the rise. The largest growth is in bourbon and Scotch, which may see a craft beer-like boom.

The third threat is macro beer companies. Seen as taking an aggressive stance on craft beer, macro breweries are actively marketing against craft beer while at the same time purchasing craft breweries.

It is this last threat that craft beer is taking on the most aggressively. The most recent move to distinguish craft beer from “the other guys” is the creation of a certified independent craft beer label.

This seal was created by the Brewers Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting small, independent breweries and the communities that surround them.

The Brewers Association defines a independent craft brewery as one that has an “annual production of 6 million barrels of beer or less (approximately 3 percent of U.S. annual sales)” and “less than 25 percent of the craft brewery is owned or controlled (or equivalent economic interest) by an alcoholic beverage industry member that is not itself a craft brewer.”

Legal breweries that meet these definitions can apply to have access to the free

As millennials reach drinking age they seem to be more likely to experiment with various drinks.

Beer is part of the equation, but wine and white spirits, especially tequila, are on the rise. label for marketing and packaging purposes. The label is an upside down beer bottle containing the words “certified independent craft.”

The upside down beer bottle is intended to symbolize how the U.S. craft beer movement has turned beer on its head.

“Beer lovers really care about who makes their beer. What this provides is a clear message to the beer drinker that this beer comes from a small and independent craft brewer” says Brewers Association Director Paul Gatza.

The intention is to show a differentiation between independent breweries and those formerly craft breweries now owned and operated by the macro breweries. It is obviously too early to know how this new seal will affect purchases, but more than 800 breweries had applied to use the seal within a few days of the launch.

Some of craft beer’s heaviest hitters immediately jumped on the bandwagon, including Dogfish Head, Allagash and

Stone Brewing.

Not all are happy with the new seal, however. Some see it as a simple marketing ploy that will affect a very small segment, read beer nerds, of the market.

Some see the label as divisive in a time when all beer producers, big and small, should be coming together to work against the larger threat of the wine and spirits market growth.

Others see it as the Brewers Association missing an opportunity to introduce industry-wide quality control elements such as mandatory bottle dating.

Whatever the outcome, expect to start seeing the “certified independent brewery” label on packaging and tap handles in the very near future. CS

WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES: how to allow a franchise to continue to expand and breathe rather than trying to keep it mired in by-thenumbers numbness.

WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES

OOO The third chapter in the latest incarnation of the venerable monkey-movie series, War for the Planet of the Apes follows last week’s Spider-Man: Homecoming as an example of how to allow a franchise to continue to expand and breathe rather than trying to keep it mired in by-the-numbers numbness.

While it doesn’t quite match its immediate predecessor, 2014’s masterful Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, this latest entry admirably opts to forge its own path rather than slavishly cut and paste past formulas. While the series opener, 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes, spent slightly more time on the humans and Dawn divided its focus equally between humans and apes, War almost completely adopts the point of view of the simians.

At its center, of course, is Caesar (a motion-captured Andy Serkis), who doesn’t actively seek conflict but instead wants apes to be left alone. Unfortunately, the members of a nearby military outfit don’t share Caesar’s separatist policy – led by an imposing figure known only as The Colonel (Woody Harrelson), they seek to completely obliterate all apes.

Harrelson is generally employed in roles that provide plenty of opportunities for sarcastic asides (The Hunger Games, The Edge of Seventeen, etc.), so it’s almost startling to see him tackling a character as savage and single-minded as the one he essays here. The Colonel may be utterly venal, but there’s a method to his madness, and while it never really makes him sympathetic, it

does add some interesting shadings to the part.

Serkis again excels in the role that arguably will surpass Gollum as his most iconic, and while I could have used a bit less of Bad Ape (Steve Zahn), a lonely and simple-minded simian, writer-director Matt Reeves and co-scripter Mark Bomback are nevertheless careful to avoid turning him into merely a one-note figure who pops up at regular intervals to offer strained comic relief.

Instead, War for the Planet of the Apes remains rigidly dank and dour – for those seeking mirthful monkeyshines, there’s always Clint’s pal Clyde.

The best Spider-Flick since 2004’s Spider-Man 2, this one finds Tom Holland justifying the goodwill generated by his supporting stint in last year’s Captain America: Civil War. As the new Peter Parker/Spider-Man, he’s an utter delight, emerging as less cocky than Andrew Garfield and even more self-effacing than Tobey Maguire. For that, credit not only Holland but also director Jon Watts and a sextet of scripters (including Watts), who collectively serve up an interpretation of the web-slinger that capitalizes on the character’s teenage roots.

Wisely, the origin story isn’t replayed for the umpteenth time – yup, the kid was bitten by a radioactive spider; let’s move on!

SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING – allowing for more time to focus on Peter OOO as he faces the horrors of high school life It’s remarkably easy and completely when he’s not facing real-world horrors. understandable to complain about superIn fact, much of the charm of Spider-Man: hero fatigue, until one realizes that the Homecoming is how it adheres closer to superheroes are the ones saving the day – vintage John Hughes than trademark Stan and the box office.

bad world to corrode his soul.

The final battle royale gets too convoluted and continues for too long (a problem also in GotGV2 and WW), and my pet peeve of two people in a city of 8.5 million coincidentally turning out to be related receives a major workout here.

Then there’s Tony Stark/Iron Man, whose “guest appearance” occasionally feels more like a crutch — it’s not unlike, say, Henry Winkler’s Fonz from Happy Days and Penny Marshall’s Laverne from Laverne & Shirley both turning up in the pilot episode of Mork & Mindy to give the fledgling show a blessing and a boost. But these carps are ultimately mere asides. In most respects, Spider-Man: Homecoming swings and scores.

BABY DRIVER

JULY 19-25, 2017

OOO Guaranteed to reign as the hipster fave of 2017, Baby Driver comes tearing off the starting line and leads the summer-movie field for the duration of the ride. Only when it hits the final stretch does it become clear that a little more maintenance while still in the shop might have subsequently allowed it to enjoy a few more victory laps.

Nevertheless, this style-over-substance endeavor does itself proud as one of the few worthwhile achievements in what’s turning out to be a rather desultory cinematic season thus far. Writer-director Edgar Wright deserves the lion’s share of the kudos, not only for assembling a noteperfect cast but also for providing them with dialogue that’s often a pleasure to encounter.

Landing many of the best lines is Kevin Spacey, cast as a verbose crime boss who masterminds a series of bank heists. Spacey’s Doc likes to use different players for different jobs, but he always keeps one constant on the team: Baby (Ansel Elgort), a taciturn getaway driver who choreographs all of his moves (both in and out of the car) to the tunes emanating from his iPod. (In this manner, Baby is not unlike Guardians of the Galaxy’s Peter Quill, who similarly shimmies to the beat of his Walkman.)

Baby is so quiet and reserved that his demeanor endears him to some of his accomplices while enraging the rest. For their part, lovebirds Buddy (Jon Hamm) and Darling (Eiza Gonzalez) like the kid; conversely, Griff (Jon Bernthal) and Bats (Jamie Foxx) do not. As for Baby, the only person who interests him is Debora (Lily James), the new waitress down at his favorite diner.

Between the character dynamics, the vehicular stuntwork (much of it <I>not<P> CGI), and the carefully chosen soundtrack, Baby Driver clicks on all cylinders — at least until it hits the homestretch. Suddenly, a storyline that had admirably been kept edgy and unexpected turns careful 32 and conventional, with unlikely character

say, past players Frances McDormand and John Malkovich, he does not seem embarrassed by his appearance. Then again, Hopkins already has a long tradition of swooping down on paychecks like a hawk targeting a bunny rabbit – see, for instance, Alexander, Bad Company and that daft werewolf movie with Benicio Del Toro.

WONDER WOMAN

pirouettes and an overextended climax — one, I might add, featuring a villain seemingly as indestructible as Terminator 2’s T-1000 — emerging as the primary, predictable culprits. That’s a shame. Certainly, Baby Driver establishes its own irresistible rhythm — one which deserves a sizable audience — but when it perhaps matters most, it turns out that the song remains the same.

DESPICABLE ME 3

O A constantly ka-chinging cash register disguised as a major motion picture, the utterly banal and utterly boring Despicable Me 3 is largely the animated equivalent of the current Transformers: The Last Knight. While it may not be as stridently idiotic as the Michael Bay dud, it’s similar in that it also merely goes through the motions expected from an established and profitable franchise. It’s full of rote sound and fury, but while it’s tempting to say it signifies nothing, that wouldn’t exactly be correct.

It signifies the continued standing of Hollywood as the ultimate babysitter, providing harried parents an opportunity to dump off their little darlings somewhere, anywhere. If Minions are involved, so much the better.

What made Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) unique in the 2010 original was that he was a villain, only softening toward the end of the film. That sharp edge was filed down in 2013’s Despicable Me 2, since he was now a full-fledged good guy. In this latest outing, he’s only grown more uninteresting as a character, so the filmmakers compensate by introducing a twin brother named Dru (also Carell). Unfortunately, he’s even more bland than his sibling.

The sop to adults who are unfortunate enough to accompany their kids to see this comes courtesy of the villain. Balthazar Bratt (Trey Parker), a former child star in the 1980s, is now a mullet-topped super-villain, committing his crimes while backed by Top 40 hits from the era

(Michael Jackson, Dire Straits, a-ha, etc.).

It’s calculated rather than clever, and it’s just one more sign of the crushing laziness that this picture proudly if perversely displays at every conceivable turn.

TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT

O As a filmmaker, Michael Bay has never seemed particularly interested in coherency or linear thinking or anything else that carries an idea from Point A to Point B. With that in mind, here’s my own stream-of-consciousness look at Bay’s latest bray, Transformers: The Last Knight.

At 7 hours 15 minutes, the fifth film in the robotic series surpasses the 4-hour8-minute Gettysburg as the longest theatrical feature ever made. Keep in mind that I did not have a watch or cell phone on me during the screening, so my estimate of the running time might be slightly off, with a margin of error of plus or minus 5 hours.

But it certainly felt that long.

If nothing else, T5 is the first movie in the franchise that could be described as educational. For starters, it’s ascertained that not only did King Arthur and Camelot exist, but Arthur and his Round Table companions all had Transformer knights watching their backs. (The recent King Arthur: Legend of the Sword failed to mention this, which is probably why it bombed.) In addition, the Transformers were responsible for the tide turning in favor of the Allies during World War II; they were responsible for the mystery surrounding Stonehenge; and they were responsible for the 2016 presidential election being hacked (or was that the Russians? I forget).

Mark Wahlberg returns for his second appearance as Cade Yeager, the Transformers’ BFF. Here, Cade’s the one who best embodies the spirit of King Arthur and thus is chosen to save all of humanity.

The latest distinguished actor to opt to slum in this series for the sake of a gargantuan payday is Anthony Hopkins. Unlike,

OOO Following the underwhelming trio of Suicide Squad, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and especially Man of Steel, it’s the first movie in the DC Expanded Universe worthy of its guaranteed box office riches.

Following the desultory likes of Catwoman, Elektra and (going waaaay back) Supergirl, it’s the first decent superhero film centered on a female protagonist. Following a rash of genre flicks that mistake nihilism for gravitas, it’s one of the few to maintain that there’s still a place for uncompromised champions in our world.

Following…well, nothing, actually…it’s the first major superhero film directed by a woman (unless one wants to make the argument that Punisher: War Zone, helmed

by Lexi Alexander, was “major”).

In the grand scheme of all things cinematically superheroic, Wonder Woman takes its cue from the greatest of all such films. Like 1978’s Superman, this new movie views its central figure as someone to admire without reservation. In true origin-story fashion, it begins with Diana still a little girl on Themyscira, the island home of the Amazonians.

Diana basically has two mommies: her actual mother, Queen Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen), and her aunt Antiope (Robin Wright), who trains her to become a warrior princess. It’s after Diana has become an adult (played by Gal Gadot) that she receives her first glimpse of the outside world. That’s due to the sudden appearance of Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), an American pilot whose plane goes down in the surrounding waters. Rescued by Diana, he explains the global conflict— World War I—that’s devastating the planet and how he was working undercover in order to infiltrate a German factory where a strain of deadly gas was manufactured.

Believing that Ares, the God of War, is behind this terrible conflict, Diana agrees to accompany Steve back to civilization in order to slay Ares and stop the war.

What follows are some of the most involving sequences seen in a superhero saga in many a multiplex moon. As embodied by Gadot, Princess Diana (tagged Diana Prince by Steve in an attempt to make her not stand out so much; good luck with that!) is compassionate and curious – a winning combination in any person.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19)

The Greek word *philokalia* is translated as the “love of the beautiful, the exalted, the excellent.” I propose that we make it your keyword for the next three weeks -- the theme you keep at the forefront of your awareness everywhere you go. But think a while before you say yes to my invitation. To commit yourself to being so relentlessly in quest of the sublime would be a demanding job. Are you truly prepared to adjust to the poignant sweetness that might stream into your life as a result?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Spain’s most revered mystic poet was St. John of the Cross, who lived from 1542 to 1591. He went through a hard time at age 35, when he was kidnapped by a rival religious sect and imprisoned in a cramped cell. Now

the coming weeks. Which drugs? At various times, your impact could resemble cognac, magic mushrooms, and Ecstasy -- or sometimes all three simultaneously. What will you do with all that power to kill pain and alter moods and expand minds? Here’s one possibility: Get people excited about what you’re excited about, and call on them to help you bring your dreams to a higher stage of development. Here’s another: Round up the support you need to transform any status quo that’s boring or unproductive.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

I predict that four weeks from now you will be enjoying a modest but hearty feeling of accomplishment -- on one condition: You must not get diverted by the temptation to achieve trivial successes. In other words, I hope you focus on one or two big projects, not lots of small ones. What do I mean by “big projects”? How about these: taming your fears; delivering a delicate message that frees you from an onerous burden; clarifying your relationship with work; and improving your ability to have the money you need.

CONNECT FOR KIDS

and then he was provided with scraps of bread and dried fish, but he almost starved to death. After ten months, he managed to escape and make his way to a convent that gave him sanctuary. For his first meal, the nuns served him warm pears with cinnamon. I reckon that you’ll soon be celebrating your own version of a jailbreak, Leo. It’ll be less drastic and more metaphorical than St. John’s, but still a notable accomplishment. To celebrate, I invite you to enjoy a ritual meal of warm pears with cinnamon.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Seven week structured educational support group for children 6-17. Support, coping tools, utilizing play and activity to learn to live with loss. Free of charge. A service of Hospice Savannah, Inc. Call for dates. ongoing. 912-303-9442. Full Circle Grief and Loss Center, 6000 Business Center Drive.

It’s a favorable time to strengthen your fundamentals and stabilize your foundation. I invite you to devote your finest intelligence and grittiest determination to this project.

How? Draw deeply from your roots. Tap into the mother lode of inspiration that never fails you. Nurture the web of life that nurtures you. The cosmos will offer you lots of help and inspiration whenever you attend to these practical and sacred matters. Best-case scenario: You will bolster your personal power for many months to come.

Two talking porcupines are enjoying an erotic tryst in a cactus garden. It’s a prickly experience, but that’s how they like it. “I always get horny when things get thorny,” says one. Meanwhile, in the rose garden next door, two unicorns wearing crowns of thorns snuggle and nuzzle as they receive acupuncture from a swarm of helpful hornets. One of the unicorns murmurs, “This is the sharpest pleasure I’ve ever known.” Now here’s the moral of these far-out fables, Gemini: Are you ready to gamble on a cagey and exuberant ramble through the brambles? Are you curious about the healing that might become available if you explore the edgy frontiers of gusto?

CHILDREN’S GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP

BY ROB BREZSNY

“I’m very attracted to things that I can’t define,” says Belgian fashion designer Raf Simons. I’d love for you to adopt that attitude, Virgo. You’re entering the Season of Generous Mystery. It will be a time when you can generate good fortune for yourself by being eager to get your expectations overturned and your mind blown. Transformative opportunities will coalesce as you simmer in the influence of enigmas and anomalies. Meditate on the advice of the poet Rainer Maria Rilke: “I want to beg you to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Institute, 6000 Business Center Drive.

I’ve compiled a list of four mantras for you to draw strength from. They’re designed to put you in the proper alignment to take maximum advantage of current cosmic rhythms. For the next three weeks, say them periodically throughout the day. 1. “I want to give the gifts I like to give rather than the gifts I’m supposed to give.” 2. “If I can’t do things with excellence and integrity, I won’t do them at all.” 3. “I intend to run on the fuel of my own deepest zeal, not on the fuel of someone else’s passions.” 4. “My joy comes as much from doing my beautiful best as from pleasing other people.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The world will never fully know or appreciate the nature of your heroic journey. Even the people who love you the most will only ever understand a portion of your epic quest to become your best self. That’s why it’s important for you to be generous in giving yourself credit for all you have accomplished up until now and will accomplish in the future. Take time to marvel at the majesty and miracle of the life you have created for yourself. Celebrate the struggles you’ve weathered and the liberations you’ve initiated. Shout “Glory hallelujah!” as you acknowledge your persistence and resourcefulness. The coming weeks will be an especially favorable time to do this tricky but fun work.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

I suspect you may have drug-like effects on people in

“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” So said psychologist Carl Jung. What the hell did that meddling, self-important know-it-all mean by that? Oops. Sorry to sound annoyed.

My cranky reaction may mean I’m defensive about the possibility that I’m sometimes a bit preachy myself.

Maybe I don’t like an authority figure wagging his finger in my face because I’m suspicious of my own tendency to do that. Hmmm. Should I therefore refrain from giving you the advice I’d planned to? I guess not. Listen carefully, Capricorn: Monitor the people and situations that irritate you. They’ll serve as mirrors. They’ll show you unripe aspects of yourself that may need adjustment or healing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

A source of tough and tender inspiration seems to be losing some of its signature potency. It has served you well.

It has given you many gifts, some difficult and some full of grace. But now I think you will benefit from transforming your relationship with its influence. As you might imagine, this pivotal moment will be best navigated with a clean, fresh, open attitude. That’s why you’ll be wise to thoroughly wash your own brain -- not begrudgingly, but with gleeful determination. For even better results, wash your heart, too.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

A “power animal” is a creature selected as a symbolic ally by a person who hopes to imitate or resonate with its strengths. The salmon or hare might be a good choice if you’re seeking to stimulate your fertility, for example. If you aspire to cultivate elegant wildness, you might choose an eagle or horse. For your use in the coming months, I propose a variation on this theme: the “power fruit.” From now until at least May 2018, your power fruit should be the ripe strawberry. Why? Because this will be a time when you’ll be naturally sweet, not artificially so; when you will be juicy, but not dripping all over everything; when you will be compact and concentrated, not bloated and bursting at the seams; and when you should be plucked by hand, never mechanically.
