Notes from the Stormwatch

BY JIM MOREKIS

jim@connectsavannah.com

STORMS AREN’T ACTUALLY PEOPLE: The fashion of naming hurricanes after people is ridiculous. Anthropomorphizing something so primordial and so scientific in nature seems like an easy way to make people in the storm’s path complacent about its true effect.

Of course, for years hurricanes were named only after women, which is pretty much the definition of misogyny.

I constantly hear people refer to storms named after women by derogatory names, for example “that bitch Irma,” or God forbid even the “c” word.

Please stop doing this!

Back in the day, people had much less warning about hurricanes, and tended to name them after when the storm hit, such

as the great Labor Day Hurricane of 1935.

Isn’t that a more somber expression of respect for the power of nature than, say, “Hurricane Trixie” or something like that?

If we can’t go back to that system, I think we should do away with naming storms after men or women, and just give them numbers.

NOT EVERYONE KNOWS MUCH ABOUT HURRICANES: I constantly have to remind myself these days that there is a huge influx of new arrivals to the Savannah area, drawn here mostly by their idyllic vision of Savannah as a peaceful Southern utopia.

Many of them don’t really find out until they get here that we have things like cockroaches, mosquitoes, gnats, ungodly humidity — and hurricanes.

Anyone who has grown up here has a weird intimacy with hurricanes. But if you try and talk to someone from, say, California about the threat of hurricanes, often all you’ll get is a blank stare, or maybe an absent-minded nod.

The true enormity and ferocity of a hurricane is beyond the ability of most folks to comprehend unless they have lived through one, or at least evacuated for one.

So keep in mind that your new neighbor from Ohio might not get what all the fuss is about. They might need a crash course in what it really means to be on the business end of a storm like Florence.

ABOUT MEDIA ‘HYPE’ AND ‘SENSATIONALISM’: Conversely, one of the most annoying things about old-timers here is the condescending attitude many display about the media and weather forecasters trying to do their job of responsibly informing people about severe, life-threatening natural disasters.

In the wake of so many deadly, horrendous storms such as Katrina, Sandy, Harvey, Hugo, Wilma, etc. etc. etc., it is frankly unbelievable that anyone could take the threat so lightly as to think the media is overplaying weather coverage.

If anything, in my experience people don’t keep up near enough with hurricane coverage, and often need to be told the same important information over and over and over again.

Of course, most of these genius “experts” who constantly bash local media for “sensationalizing” hurricane coverage are the first ones to start panicking when the storm actually does get close.

BOTTLED WATER: I’ve always wondered why there is such a frenzy to run to the store and buy up all the bottled water when a storm approaches, when you can fill up all the containers you want with tap water at home basically for free.

I’ve been given various reasons why this is so, ranging from folks just not liking the taste of our tap water, to not liking how it reacts with plastic containers when it sits for awhile, etc.

We all have reasons for doing what we do, but it seems to me that if we are hit by a storm of such intensity as to knock out the water system — something I’ve never seen happen here — you’ll have worse problems to deal with than how your water tastes.

Maybe binge-buying bottled water is just a comforting ritual that makes you think you’re more prepared than you really are?

In any case, let’s hope that having too much bottled water on hand is the worst thing any of us has to face this week, as we see what Hurricane Florence has in store for the east coast. CS

CONNECT SAVANNAH | SEP 12-18, 2018

AS I WRITE THIS, the entire coast of South Carolina to our north is under a mandatory evacuation order with the approach of Hurricane Florence.

While for the moment there is no such order for Chatham County, we are experiencing a collective moment of deja vu.

This is the third year in a row where there has been a major storm threat to Savannah. Matthew in 2016, Irma in 2017, and now Florence and a series of storms following behind, as the 2018 hurricane season ramps up in intensity.

This also happens to be the time of year when Connect Savannah puts out three, count ‘em, three special issues in a row: The Savannah Craft Brew Fest edition, the College Student Guide, and the Fall Arts Preview you are reading right now.

Not coincidentally, this also begins the height of Savannah social season, or at least the autumn social season.

As these storms pick up in frequency and intensity with the ongoing influence of climate change, I wonder if the time will come when Savannah will have to adjust its precious social calendar.

Could we eventually see fewer events in an already jam-packed October, with more being moved into November and December?

It may sound ridiculous, but remember that Hurricane Matthew essentially caused October 2016 here to either be rescheduled or canceled entirely.

By this point I’m an old hand at covering hurricanes, so here are a few more pertinent observations and/or wisecracks suitable for the storm season:

NEWS & OPINION SPECIAL REPORT

The Starland Village Files: Part One

Emails show tight relationship between developer and City officials

BY JIM MOREKIS

CONNECT SAVANNAH | SEP 12-18, 2018

jim@connectsavannah.com

8

THE PROPOSED $40 million Starland Village mixed-use development project has caused much controversy in Savannah’s rapidly changing Victorian district.

Opponents say the project — comprising a multi-story, modern residential building, an event space in a historic church, and a large parking garage — is simply too voluminous and out of character for the historic neighborhood.

Starland Village recently passed another hurdle on Aug. 28 at the Metropolitan Planning Commission, when its development plan was approved.

At that meeting, City Manager Rob Hernandez personally took over authorization of Starland Village’s Certificate of Appropriateness, using a clause in the Mid-City zoning ordinance allowing him to serve as sole “Design Administrator.”

But Connect Savannah has obtained emails that are part of the public record which show that the City’s efforts to push through the project go back much further.

The emails display what some might see as an overly cozy relationship between City officials and The Foram Group, the company developing Starland Village.

Highlights include: • The Foram Group identifying an active police precinct on Bull Street as needed for the development, then working with City officials to declare the property surplus in order for Foram to purchase it; • A Request For Proposal (RFP) process for buying that surplus property that one could argue seemed specifically designed to benefit The Foram Group; • Foram’s apparent involvement in public policy-making with regards to 1) relocating a working police precinct, 2) creating a brand-new zoning category, and 3) changing Chatham Area Transit routes.

Major players include: • Travis Stringer, President of The Foram Group • Rob Hernandez, Savannah City Manager • Liz Taschereau, City of Savannah Strategic Initiatives Manager, who worked previously with Hernandez in South Florida and who was hired concurrently with Hernandez to come to Savannah • Robert MCorkle, attorney hired by The Foram Group to represent the project • Sean Brandon, City of Savannah Director of Mobility and Parking Services • City Attorney Brooks Stillwell • Mayor Eddie DeLoach

One of the ‘pretty pictures’ of the proposed development mentioned in the emails

The Emails

The saga begins with a breakfast meeting in January 2017 between Foram’s Travis Stringer, Rob Hernandez, Liz Taschereau, and Mayor DeLoach to discuss the Starland Village proposal.

In a January 28, 2017 email, Stringer follows up with DeLoach: “I think the meeting went really well and this project will be a great catalyst for the redevelopment of the Bull Street corridor and ultimately help towards accomplishing many of your goals for Savannah.”

quickest and best process to go about this.

We would prefer not to go through an RFP process as that is time consuming. [emphasis ours] In addition, we are working on identifying some properties on the westside (MLK corridor) but need a better idea of what the police chief/city manager would be interested in. Is this necessary in order to go forward with the city property on Bull?”

MEANWHILE, on March 6, 2017, Melody Dawkins of The Foram Group invites Alderman Bill Durrence, in whose 2nd District Starland Village would go, to meet and THE ISSUE of the police precinct on contribute input: Bull Street comes up almost immediately.

“We are working on a project that’s (sic) In a Jan. 2017 email, Stringer writes to goal is to help facilitate the growth of the Liz Taschereau and DeLoach: “I am very glad to hear you guys drove by creatives and innovators in Savannah.

We can fill you in on details of the project and show get a better understanding of where they you pretty pictures from the architect.” would like to be.”

In a particularly interesting email on ON March 14, 2017, The Foram Group Feb. 17, 2017, Stringer writes Taschereau, creates an account with the City so that confirming that the breakfast meeting included a discussion of the City declaring they can be eligible to respond to City Surthe precinct as surplus, with Foram as the plus Property RFPs.

He also seems to insinuate that the City Stringer: “Just following up on the status of your shouldn’t follow regular legal protocol: project as we are moving forward with the “I am reaching out in regards to the surplus property transaction.” city property on the corner of 38th and The same day, Stringer responds to Bull st.

we last spoke that I think improve the overall project and reduces some height on the portion of property on Whitaker… All in all, we will be ready to submit our proposal once the RFP is released.”

To which Taschereau replies: “will ask Rob [Hernandez] if he wants a one on one update from you directly so he is fully informed.”

CONNECT SAVANNAH | SEP 12-18, 2018

ON April 6, 2017, Taschereau reaches out to the City’s Sean Brandon for the first time about Starland Village: “Do you have time to meet tomorrow to review a project - just [for] you to get some ideas and guidance.”

On April 10, 2017, Stringer writes to Taschereau about what is apparently a now-abandoned idea to build a larger parking garage a block from Starland Village: “After our conversation, I did a ton of thinking on how we might be able to fix the project/neighborhoods current and future parking needs, public transit, etc. that I believe we should all take a hard look at. The city property at 2203 Abercorn st (Cross Street 38th street between Drayton and Abercorn) is actually the same size as the site with the parking structure housing MPC. … Also, it is only 1 block from our project on 38th. Since it is on Abercorn, instead of discussing moving a section of

moon river

the 14 line of CAT, we could discuss adding a stop at this location. Then, we should look at redeveloping this property as a parking structure with commercial wrap in the form of offices, neighborhood retail, or artist studio spaces, etc. We could turn this into a central transit hub for the entire Starland neighborhood. We could easily create over 200+ parking spaces to sustain current and future projects.” [emphasis ours] The next day, Stringer emails Brandon: “I do know that CAT has the 14 line that runs on Abercorn all the way out to Savannah mall across from Armstrong.

Although I do want to give Armstrong/ Georgia Southern students direct access to our project, it is important that we create public access for those individuals outside of the university system. In addition, I hope that we can also work something out with the downtown loop. I know that it would not only be beneficial to our project but to the neighborhood as a whole. I know public transit is a big topic of conversation with both homeowners and business owners in the neighborhood.”

On April 17, 2017, the bidding opportunity for the police precinct at 2115 Bull St. is officially open for proposals.

ON May 8, 2017, Chatham Area Transit Senior Planner Grant Sparks emails Foram’s Stringer: “I’ve attached a map and some photos of the bike share siting study that we performed a while back. As you’ll notice, once (sic) of the proposed sites is at 36th & Bull, not far from the new development site… As for the shuttles, I talked to our CEO and our CFO the other day about extending the shuttles south of 37th Street and they’d like to discuss it with our Board. Doing such an extension will be a policy decision [emphasis ours] because it will have an impact on our paratransit revenues and potentially our fixed route ridership (if passengers end up using the new shuttles instead of our regular buses).”

Two days later, Brandon writes Sparks: “Do you have time to talk with representatives from FORAM (Travis Stringer) and myself about what it would take to move the north/south proposed shuttle further south into the Starland district...?”

ON July 25, 2017, Pam Laws with the City’s Purchasing Dept. emails Travis Stringer and several other recipients that the City has rejected all proposals submitted to purchase the surplus police precinct.

“It is the City’s intent to sell this property to a proposer that maximizes the best

use of this property; however, the City has decided to reject all proposals that were submitted in response to this Event. The RFP is being revised to better define the City’s criteria for submitting a response.”

Exactly a month later, Foram and other potential bidders get official notice that the second round of RFPs on the surplus precinct is open.

ON Oct. 17, The Foram Group makes their official proposal at a meeting with Hernandez and others at the MPC.

By Nov. 6, 2017, Foram is named the winning bidder, and David Keating, City Director of Real Property Services, emails Stringer about formalizing the sale: “The City Manager has agreed to place this matter on the agenda for Thursday.”

The next day, Alderman Bill Durrence is invited to a “special celebration” of Starland Village set to take place Dec. 1. Mayor DeLoach will get his invitation Nov. 21.

By Nov. 10, 2017, City Council had formally approved the sale of the surplus police precinct to The Foram Group. CS Next: 2018, zoning battles, and the City Manager’s override.

FOR THE first time in six years, Democrats are challenging three of Chatham County’s four Republican-held state legislative seats.

Seeking to take advantage of what they see as Democratic tailwinds this year, Sandra Workman, Adam Bridges and Alicia Scott are fighting apathy as much as incumbency in suburban districts once thought unwinnable.

Their races will help determine the makeup of Georgia’s State House and Senate, even if solid Republican majorities in both chambers aren’t in question.

This year, Democrats are contesting more Republican-held legislative seats, 56, up from 21 two years ago.

And in Congress, Democrats fielded candidates in all but four districts, up from 27 in 2016.

And no matter where you stand politically, you have to cheer at having more than one party on your ballot. Otherwise, why pretend that your election choices are any better than in China, Cuba or Laos?

I’d love for Chatham County’s four Democratic state legislators to face Republican challengers, as well. But they won’t.

The GOP must think Carl Gillard, Craig Gordon, Mickey Stephens and Lester Jackson are doing a good job. A cynic might say, “Republicans know where to spend their money. These foolish Democrats are spitting into the wind.”

I won’t say that. And I’ll tell you why in a minute. For now, here are the insurgents who think they can flip some seats.

first-time candidate inspired by the 2016 elections.

“One of my motivations for running was voting that November when I had no choices below the top of the ballot. It was all one party.”

That year, Georgia led the nation in terms of uncontested state legislative seats. An astonishing 83% of state lawmakers were reelected without opposition.

Workman says, Trump’s narrow victory also lit a fire under her.

The retired information security officer from Richmond Hill got more involved in politics and decided to run.

“I want Georgia to be an example of how government can serve the citizens and not the other way around.”

Adam Bridges

Georgia’s State House District 161 is the western omelet of Savannah’s suburbs, including Garden City, Pooler and Rincon.

Republican Anne Purcell faced Tawana Garrett here in what used to be State House District 159 in 2010, the last time any Democrat raised a finger here.

Like Watson, Republican Bill Hitchens, a former law enforcement officer from Rincon, hasn’t faced any Democratic challenger until now.

“Moderate Republicans know me and the integrity that I carry and don’t care what party that I’m affiliated with,” says Adam Bridges, a former Pooler Chamber Sandra Workman of Commerce president who runs a liquor Georgia’s State Senstore and an insurance agency. ate District 1 includes “This isn’t a Republican or a Democratic the greatest hits of district.

2010.

This year’s incumbent, Ben Watson, a doctor from Isle of Hope, never has faced a Democratic challenger until now.

“I can’t sit back and let the government run itself,” says Sandra Workman, a

Alicia Scott

Georgia’s House District 164 is represented by the man they call the “dean” of Chatham County lawmakers, which is just a polite way of saying “he’s been there the longest,” Ron Stephens.

A pharmacist elected 10 times in his Georgetown-Richmond Hill district, he’s faced Democrats twice, Zena McClain and Lauren Craddock. Whether you consider him an elder statesman or entrenched pol, he’s now opposed by Alicia Scott.

“People are fed up with politics from Trump on down and they’re feeling the pinch of Republican-led government,” says Scott, a marketing consultant and a former financial services executive. “We can’t just keep complaining about it. We have to do something to change it. And if enough of us run, some of us are going to win.”

Like Workman and Bridges, Scott believes Savannah’s suburbs aren’t what they were the last time Democrats lost in 60-40 and 70-30 blowouts.

House 164 has added thousands of new voters, some Democrats who helped to replace county commissioner Lori Brady, a Republican, with Jay Jones, a Democrat, a turning point for Scott.

“No one sat down and crunched the numbers and thought that this was possible. We have political lethargy.”

Can They Win?

It remains to be seen whether these Democrats will benefit from obvious tailwinds: changing suburban populations, enthusiasm for the historic gubernatorial candidacy of Stacey Abrams, and Trump’s unprecedented unpopularity.

But no one knows what’s going to happen on election night. I’m more interested in questions of civic awareness.

When hardly anyone knows their State House and Senate members, how does a challenger’s lack of name recognition differ from an incumbent’s? Answer: It doesn’t.

And so if you care about anything other than I, R and D, it’s up to you to look into these candidates, the incumbents they’re challenging and other candidates, too.

They’re surprisingly reachable. You have until November. CS

A growing and underserved population

BY CHLOE STEIN WHEN MANY hear the word “homeless,” they envision a man in tattered clothes asleep on a bench or a woman asking for money on the roadside. But to view homelessness this way is to approach the issue with tunnel vision.

Contrary to common misconceptions, families with children make up more than one-third of our nation’s homeless population. Yet this incredibly vulnerable group is missing from most conversations about homelessness.

We have an obligation to better understand this population, so we can educate one another on this mounting crisis and develop evidence-based solutions to confront this crisis right here in Savannah and across the country.

The Savannah-Chatham County Pub-

Aside from the 72 percent of homeless families that are living doubled up, one in every six homeless families in Georgia pays out of pocket for a hotel room, and one in every 11 lives in a homeless shelter.

Two percent of Georgia’s homeless students sleep in a place not meant for human habitation, such as a car or a park.

Students living doubled up often appear like everyone else and it can be extremely difficult for school districts to identify them. But for these students, the stress and instability of constantly moving from one household to the next has as substantial an impact on their education and well-being as it does for those living in a homeless shelter. These students deserve to be counted and supported as they navigate these traumatic experiences.

Just one episode of homelessness has been proven to significantly impact a student’s educational outcomes. Due to high mobility and frequent school transfers, as well as higher rates of chronic absenteeism, homeless students are less likely to

From 2012–2016, Georgia received an increase of 10% in federal funding.

However, the state’s homeless student population increased by 16% over the same period of time, to a high of 38,474 students—that’s more than all students in SCCPSS combined.

Twenty-two percent of Georgia’s public school districts received EHCY subgrants in school year 2015–16.

Of the 159 districts that did not receive a subgrant, Chatham County had the second-largest homeless student population, behind only Monroe County. It is imperative that SCCPSS continue to identify homeless students and connect them with needed services, despite this lack of funding.

This month, hundreds will gather here in Savannah for the annual conference of the Georgia Alliance to End Homelessness.

They will meet amid a crisis of increasing homelessness both here in Georgia and across the country. There are many factors driving this crisis, including a lack of

The Savannah-Chatham County Public School system recently reported that it identified 1,001 homeless students in the 2017-18 school year — a staggering 30 percent increase from the previous school year. lic School System (SCCPSS) recently reported that it identified 1,001 homeless students in school year 2017–18. That number represents a staggering 30 percent increase from the previous school year.

Across the state of Georgia, approximately three-quarters of homeless students are living temporarily with friends or family, frequently in overcrowded conditions.

But these doubled-up families remain hidden largely because the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) only considers individuals to be homeless if they are living in shelter or on the streets. Contrary to HUD, the U.S. Department of Education considers any student lacking a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence as homeless.

This definition includes those captured

score proficiently on state assessments than their stably-housed peers.

Of Chatham County’s homeless students in grades 3–8, just 9 percent scored proficiently in math, while 11 percent scored proficiently in reading— which means that these students are reaching basic educational proficiency approximately onethird as often as their housed peers in the District.

The federal government does provide some protections for students experiencing homelessness. The McKinney-Vento Education for Homeless Children and Youth Act (EHCY) stipulates that each state receives funds to ensure that every homeless student has access to the same free, appropriate public education as their housed peers. With these funds, states are able to provide competitive subgrants to school districts throughout the state.

Like many states, Georgia’s federal funding for homeless students has not kept pace with the increase in student homelessness.

affordable housing, stagnant wages, generational poverty, racism, and domestic violence.

Fact-based solutions locally-tailored to fit the distinct needs of each community’s homeless population are the only way forward.

We can all learn from the experiences of the over 1,000 homeless students in Savannah, the more than 38,000 homeless students across Georgia, and the estimated 1.3 million students nationwide who are currently homeless.

It falls on all of us to shine a light on these students, help them break the cycle of poverty, and show them we believe they matter.

Eric Gales’ guitar love affair

Legendary guitarist brings his unique style and unmatched passion to Savannah Jazz Festival

BY SEAN KELLY

sean@connectsavannah.com

ERIC GALES first picked up a guitar at the age of four, and has seemingly never put it down. The Memphis, Tennessee, native, who’s now a legend in his own right, became a child prodigy and was praised early on by the likes of Carlos Santana.

He’s had major label deals, done big tours and festivals, and consistently released albums of original music that fuse a wide range of genres. Currently touring behind his 2017 release Middle Of The Road, Gales is set to appear at the Savannah Jazz Festival on September 27.

We caught up with Gales ahead of his Savannah Jazz performance to talk guitar tone, the albums that inspired him, and the future of the guitar.

I’m curious to know what albums inspired you early on in your career and shaped your understanding of music and the guitar?

Predominantly, I’d say Tones by Eric Johnson, Texas Flood by Stevie Ray, Mahogany Rush by Frank Marino, and the Albert King records.

CONNECT SAVANNAH | SEP 12-18, 2018

That’s a pretty varied list, which brings me to my next question – I’ve always found that your tone is pretty different from other players in your wheelhouse. It almost has this sort of low-wattage amp feel to it. How did you find your sound? Was it something that developed over time?

14

It’s interesting that you hear that - I’ve predominantly gone through high-wattage amps, and I just use a foot pedal to pair with it. The 100-watt amps that I like to use aren’t really for volume, but I use them for the dirt that they have. I’ve always used pedals, and my tone has sort of developed over time through the influences that I have. I just started mixing them in a bowl and trying to come up with my own thing.

Musically speaking, it’s really hard to put you in a box because of all the different styles of music you’re pulling from. Is that something that is natural

for you, or was it something you’re striving for in your creative process?

I like the fact that it’s hard to place me in a certain box because I like all kinds of things. Especially live, that really comes out. I’m in the process of mixing a new record, and you’re the first one I’m telling this to, but it’s called The Bookends.

Imagine two books that you have, and on one end you have Blues and on the other you have, say, Gospel. But there are books in between that have other styles as well.

So, my vision is fitting in between the bookends.

It’s just something that I wanted to do, and I think I found my niche in it because I’m influenced by so many different styles.

The trick is to put it all together into one project.

Starting from the last record, it was accomplished. And I think I went over the top with this one. I may be paving the way for a whole new line of artists just being able to touch on everything that they’ve been influenced by. I believe that artists are influenced by more than just what they’re known for.

To that end, how do you think the guitar is best evolved? Some players experiment a lot with effects and alternate tunings, but a lot of people at the end of the day tend to go back to playing in a more traditionalist way . What do you see as being the future of the guitar?

For me and the way I view it, I think an instrument is an extension of the artist.

When I play, I’m just basically playing what my soul and emotions sound like.

As far as the evolution of guitar, it’s always been around and I think that even if there’s a slump it will come back around.

Someone will bring it back to the forefront.

Guitar is strongly tied to who I am, and it’s something that I know will be in the forefront for me. It’s an extension of my heart.

the parts on your record sound like they’re coming from someone whose dedicated instrument is the bass. Do you approach bass differently than guitar in terms of arranging and writing?

I do! I actually started playing bass, so that’s the interesting fact there.

When I’m playing bass, my mind transposes to that instrument but I can also hear guitar parts at the same time. So it’s not difficult at all for me to go back in forth in between instruments.

I really like the stuff that I do on bass, so I think playing the parts on the record was a good idea. I wanted to showcase a side of me that the world really hadn’t seen. A lot of people really don’t know that I played bass on the first two records.

me that have stuck with me until today.

I cherish those words of wisdom and encouragement.

There are a lot of musicians and artists that wake up every day with the hope that they’ll at least be heard by someone that they admire, and I did. I’m very fortunate and very blessed.

What’s your advice for someone who’s young and trying to carve a space for themselves and be heard by either the people they admire or just listeners in general? It’s such a crowded landscape right now.

I didn’t know that!

Yeah, it goes back quite a ways. I do consider myself a bass player, and a drummer too. I like to engage in the different parts of music that move me.

And sometimes if you’re the songwriter you hear things a certain way in your head, so you might just be the right guy for the job.

Right!

Whether it was last week or early on, whether it was Carlos Santana or Raphael Saadiq, have there been any words of wisdom or guidance that informed you and your musical evolution?

Yeah, man, there’ve been quite a few.

It started even with my big brother at a young age.

To sum it up in short – why would a perYou played bass on your last record, son go to a record store and buy an imitaright? tion of someone, when they can go a few On the entire last record, yeah. rows down and buy the real thing? That stuck with me since I was a kid.

A lot of people fall into the trap of being Carlos, Raphael, Eric Johnson, Stevie a guitar player who’s playing bass, but Ray Vaughan, they’ve all said things to

have search

It is. My advice is this – inspiration is a powerful key. It makes practicing not feel like homework.

The second biggest thing is, learn everything that you like and learn everything that you don’t like. That way it’ll help mold you into something you didn’t think that you were.

A lot of people shut the door on stuff that they might not be fond of. But as a musician, how can you not be fond of every style going?

Somewhere, someway, somehow, it’ll be effective in you molding yourself as a player. Especially nowadays when there’s such a wide palette of artists, musicians, and styles.

Most people spend their entire life trying to find their own space and their own sound – you just to keep trying to for it. CS

Task Force arrests six in sweep

The Savannah Police Department, the Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force (SERFTF) of the U.S. Marshals Service, and the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office conducted a warrant sweep, nicknamed “Operation Daybreak,” on Sept. 6 that resulted in the arrest of six fugitives.

“Members of the collaborative task force worked closely with the Department of Community Supervision to identify fugitives residing in the Savannah area. All of the subjects met the SERFTF criteria for case adoption, meaning they either had active warrants for a violent felony or were under sentence for a violent felony with new felony warrants,” police report.

The operation began at 5 a.m. Sept. 6 and resulted in the arrest of six fugitives.

Additional fugitives are still being sought.

“This operation is a key component to the commitment of addressing violent crime in our community,” said Kerry Thomas, Assistant Chief of the Savannah Police Department. “It’s through

collaboration, partnerships and acceptance of the shared responsibility that we continue to make forward strides to reducing crime and the fear of crime in the city of Savannah.”

Arrests include: Ashon Levon Brown, 36, felony probation violation Nathanial Brown Jr., 55, failure to appear Javente Shaquan Bacon, 24, probation violation Willie James Smith, 42, felony probation violation Gary Stephen Grooms Jr., 35, felony probation violation Keith Heath, 27, probation violation

Two separate Labor Day crashes involving pedestrians investigated

Savannah Police are investigating two separate crashes involving pedestrians that occurred the evening of Sept. 3.

Around 5:40 p.m. officers responded to Montgomery Street at 60th Street for a crash that resulted in the death of Lee Stowbridge, 65, of Springfield.

According to a preliminary investigation, Stowbridge was attempting to cross Montgomery Street when he was struck by an oncoming, southbound Buick Regal driven by Paul Pusha, 34, of Savannah.

Search warrant at residence results in drug seizure

One of the collision scenes

Stowbridge was transported to Memorial Medical Center, where he succumbed to his injuries around 11 p.m.

Around 7:45 p.m. officers responded to Pennsylvania Avenue near Utah Street for a crash that injured a 2-year-old boy.

According to a preliminary investigation, Dwayne Brown, 55, of Savannah was traveling south on Pennsylvania Avenue in a Dodge Caravan when heard a noise. After stopping the vehicle, he learned that he had struck the child. Investigators believe the child slipped out of the home, unbeknownst to the adult watching him, and was attempting to run after his mother who was walking to the store.

The child was transported to Memorial Medical Center for minor injuries.

One person is arrested and various controlled substances are found following a search warrant at a residence.

“During the early morning hours of August 24, 2018, the Chatham-Savannah Counter Narcotics Team (CNT) executed a search warrant at a residence located in the 200 block of East Duffy Street. The search warrant resulted in the seizure of various amounts of cocaine, MDMA (ecstasy), marijuana, an unknown powder substance, and more than $6,300 in cash. CNT arrested 30-year-old James “Smoke” Walker. Walker was charged with Sale of a Controlled Substance and is currently being held in the Chatham County Detention Center. Additional charges are expected,” CNT reports.

CNT’s investigation into Walker began in early July. Undercover CNT agents identified Walker as a person selling various forms of controlled substances.

“Through investigative techniques, undercover CNT agents met with Walker and made multiple drug purchases from him over a period of a month. CNT’s investigation successfully identified Walker’s residence resulting in the search warrant,” CNT says.

Former English soccer star Gary Mabbutt, 57, traveled to South Africa in July to visit his daughter, who works at Kruger National Park, but it wasn’t the exotic big game that left the most lasting impression on him. While he was sleeping, he later told the BBC, “... a rat has come into the bedroom, climbed into the bed and has decided to chew on my foot,” which Mabbutt couldn’t feel because he suffers from Type 1 diabetes and has little feeling in his foot. The rat “made quite a big hole in my toe, going down to the bone, and ate underneath my foot.” Mabbutt was finally alerted to the rodent’s presence when it bit his thumb and he saw his bloody foot. He flew back to the United Kingdom, where he underwent surgery and spent a week in the hospital. “All the opponents that I’ve played against,” he said, “and I finally get taken out by a rat.”

Bright Ideas

• The animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals in Maine is seeking state permission to construct a permanent memorial to the 4,500 or so lobsters that perished on Aug. 22 when a truck carrying them crashed in Brunswick. The monument, a 5-foot-tall granite tombstone, would “remind everyone that the best way to prevent such tragedies is to go vegan,” said Danielle Katz, director of PETA. The proposed wording for the stone is: “In memory of the lobsters who suffered and died at this spot August 2018, Try Vegan, PETA” and would include a graphic of a lobster. Of course, Maine residents are possibly the least sympathetic about their crustacean counterparts: The Portland Press Herald reports that in 2017, 110 million pounds of lobster were harvested in the state.

• Along with a nail salon, a massage parlor and a dry cleaner, a mall in Toronto, Canada, is now the site of North America’s first sex doll brothel. Aura Dolls offers “an exciting new way” for patrons to achieve their desires “without the many restrictions and limitations that a real partner may come with,” says the company’s website. Marketing director Claire Lee told City News on Aug. 27 that customers “come in, they have their own room ... a TV monitor that plays adult entertainment and a doll ... will be ready and waiting for you.” Lee also assures potential customers that the dolls will be cleaned after each customer using a three-step process. The company says it has had requests from women for male dolls and is considering adding them.

Harsh

Lifelong New York Knicks fan Evan Perlmutter, 33, finally hit the wall with his team. Fed up that the Knicks had been promising a better future for a decade, he told Bleacher Report, Perlmutter posted a listing on eBay to sell his fandom. In the description, he promised to root for the team of the auction winner’s choosing and “burn no less than three articles of Knicks memorabilia.” Sure enough, he got a bite: James Riedel, 23, of Orange County, California, paid $3,500 for Perlmutter’s fandom on Aug. 24, converting Perlmutter into a Los Angeles Lakers fan. Perlmutter plans to attend a few Lakers games with Riedel and record his destruction of his Knicks gear for Riedel’s YouTube channel.

Awwwwwww!

A first date spent surfing in Santa Cruz, California, last October ended in an unconventional first kiss when 56-yearold Max Montgomery collapsed from a heart attack on the beach. His date, Andi Traynor, a 45-year-old anesthesiologist, leaped into action, performing CPR until paramedics arrived. Montgomery underwent bypass surgery the next day, and he assured Traynor that she was under no obligation to keep seeing him. “Who wants to date someone who just had a heart attack? But she told me she was not going anywhere,” he told The Daily Mail on Aug. 29, and in fact, the two are still together, having sealed their relationship with a “real” kiss.

Compelling Explanation

Colorado Springs resident Klete Keller engaged the services of a female dog-sitter through an app called Wag! for his pet, Jimbo. But Keller’s tail was not wagging when he returned home early the morning of Aug. 27 to find two shirtless men sitting on his couch and “an open bottle of personal lubricant and a camcorder on the end table,” Keller told Fox 21 News, “so it’s pretty self-explanatory what was going on.” When reached for comment, the unnamed dog-sitter said her keys were stuck in her car and she “didn’t have WD-40 ... so I ended up grabbing what I had in my car, for things, that you know, I do on my personal time.” But Keller also noticed what he suspected was “bodily fluids” on the couch and said Jimbo was locked in a bedroom, sitting in his own urine and acting terrified. “It was just, just a total mess and I can only imagine what poor Jimbo saw in there,” Keller said. The sitter did admit that she shouldn’t have invited guests over, but it’s a good bet her former 4.96 out of 5 rating on Wag! is going to take a hit. CS

Ochoa recalls...“Sometimes the restaurant would get so packed, I would get up on a table and play, though maybe the mimosas had more to do with that.” band’s newest member percussionist Vuk Pavlovic. The evening also highlights the ensemble’s latest collaborations with jazz vocalist Annie Sellick and guitarists Jimmy Grant and Jeff Powell.

Velvet Caravan has seen a few lineup changes since its founding in 2011.

Through it all and central to the group’s sound are classically trained violinist, Ricardo Ochoa, and Hammond artist and keyboardist Jared Hall. Upright bassist, Eric Dunn, has also been a consistent player since the band’s early days.

Ochoa recalls the group’s beginnings at B. Matthews when different players would sit in and improvise, working out songs together.

“Sometimes the restaurant would get so packed, I would get up on a table and play, though maybe the mimosas had more to do with that,” gleams Ochoa.

These charismatic bursts became hallmarks of a Velvet Caravan experience.

Savannah listened, loved it, laughed it up and wanted more.

In 2014, the band released their first album “Acoustic in Nature” recorded at the Lucas Theater in three evenings with audio engineer Kevin Rose.

“The Lucas is a fine place for acoustic instruments,” says Ochoa, “We did all the songs live on stage and because that theater just sounds good, I think it captured the intensity of what we do live.”

From the Savannah Jazz Festival to Revival Fest, Stopover, and the Savannah Music Festival, Velvet Caravan played them all. In recent years the band has pushed beyond the downhome borders of Savannah and into venues like Eddie’s Attic in Atlanta and the Iridium in New York City.

Velvet Caravan has also been to indie music career launch pad South By Southwest two years in a row. It was their second year there when they got a couple of sweet breaks.

“In 2016, we had a great showcase at the Driscoll Hotel on 6th Street in Austin,” recalls Jared Hall, “right in the heart of it. We took our album with us that we did with Kevin, and that experience at South

By Southwest opened new doors for the group.”

For Hall, those South By Southwest performances netted an endorsement from Hammond, and for Velvet Caravan, new booking and management opportunities.

Since those 2016 South By Southwest showcases, Velvet Caravan has played all along the East Coast as well as venues in Southern California.

Velvet Caravan’s latest recording, “A Stroke of Good Fortune,” comes out the night of the Lucas Theater performance.

“We worked with Kevin Rose again at Elevated Basement Studio,” says Hall, “I mean, Kevin’s been the main recording engineer at the Savannah Music Festival for years. He’s got great ears, expert in what he does and is a hell of a great guy to work with. Kevin’s hard work made it so we got everything finished up and the album ready in time for the show.”

And new to this recording is San Francisco-based guitarist Jimmy Grant, who adds his own Eastern European zeal to Velvet Caravan’s sound.

“Jimmy is more gypsy than jazz,” emphasizes Ochoa, “and that’s the direction we’re wanting to move, more gypsy and less jazz. We want to blend gypsy sounds and melodies with other kinds of music. We’re evolving, constantly evolving.”

Opening up the night at the Lucas is Mercury Orkestar, an Atlanta-based Balkan brass band that weaves Balkan melodies together with jazz, swing and elements of pop.

“I want the night to tell a story,” says Ochoa, “I host a radio show on WRUU, and I envision the evening similar to my show, like a progression of gypsy stories and music from one place to the next.”

Also featured is Nashville-based jazz vocalist Annie Sellick. Known for her sassy yet soulful vocal delivery, Sellick and the ensemble’s collaboration spotlight the work of guitarist Jeff Powell.

The end of the performance culminates with a stage full of musicians.

“The finale will have Velvet Caravan and everyone together doing a song,” explains Ochoa, “and by this point, we’ll have played music from all over the world and different regions, but at the end we’re bringing it back to the real gypsy music, so fast and so much music. The Lucas may never be the same.” CS

FALLS IN LOVE ALL OVER AGAIN

Veteran ‘90s indie band brings their first new album in 21 years to Savannah

BY SEAN KELLY

sean@connectsavannah.co

What’s the scene in Tampa like now as opposed to, say, in 1995?

SU: I had a different perspective because I was younger. We definitely still have a scene here, but it’s changed over the years.

From our perspective, there were more all-ages venues and there was a bigger scene. But there’s stuff going on now too, so in that sense we were more active then because of where we were in our lives. It’s still happening, though. Obviously social media has changed booking and promoting shows as well. The whole landscape has changed, which presents a different set of challenges.

Do you think Pohogh benefits the way music is released these days rather than the business model of the 90s? Is the Internet a benefit, or do you prefer the way things were done when you started out?

CONNECT SAVANNAH | SEP 12-18, 2018

POHGOH

FOR a large part of the 90s, Tampa, Florida’s Pohgoh was a leading light in the DIY scene– touring relentlessly, releasing a number of albums, and leaving a major mark on the legacy of second wave emo.

They disbanded in 1997, with the occasional reunion show popping up. Members kept busy in the two decades that followed the band’s dissolution, with singer Susie Ulrey and her husband – drummer Keith Ulrey – founding New Granada Records.

Keith Ulrey is also the owner of Tampa record store Microgroove.

Their new album, Secret Club, marks the first time that the band has reconvened for a full-length album since 1997’s Memory Of Bab, and finds them in top form. The songs explore a multitude of subjects, including Susie Ulrey’s long battle with Multiple Sclerosis, and are presented with the group’s angular brand of guitar rock.

We caught up with Susie Ulrey ahead of the band’s September 23 show at Starland Dairy to talk new music, bands reuniting, and what comes next for the indie darlings.

SU: I think it’s just on a larger scale now.

Everything’s way more accessible. We can get things across to other countries a lot quicker. We were still getting our stuff out over in Japan – we found that out after we’d already broken up, actually.

I think that you really had to hunt for things 20 years ago, which might have made it more gratifying. It’s almost like the question about the scene – it’s different because there’s a different set of challenges.

What was the impetus for reuniting the band in a full-fledged way? You guys have done things on and off over the years, but it seems like you’re revamping. What was the moment that you realized you were in it again?

SU: The last reunion we did was so much fun that we just said, “Let’s play! Let’s get together once a month and just see what happens. And if we can’t do once a month, then cool. No expectations.” We started practicing more, and Matt brought a riff to practice that became the first new song in 20 years. And it was so obvious to us. It’s kind of like when I realized I was in love with my husband. Like, “Duh! Of course I love you. It’s perfect.” When we got back in the same room together we said, “Of course we need to do this. Why did we ever stop?”

Obviously we had reasons why we stopped. Matt has his own band for a long time, and they did two full-length records and toured behind that. Keith and I had our side project, Rec Center, which is kind of on the back burner a little bit. Brian, who’s in the band now, played with us in Rec Center. When Brad, our original bass player, said he couldn’t commit to the band, Brian’s addition was a natural thing.

It just feels full circle. The timing is right.

It’s all timing.

How much of what’s happening in the world right now made its way into what you wrote about on the new record?

Was it something you felt compelled to do or was it just naturally a factor in what you were doing?

SU: When I write a song, I’m not necessarily thinking about the structure of it unless I have a certain topic in mind. But every song I brought to practice I was like, “Alright, this is a rocker.” I can’t say that the songs were necessarily written about the election. There’s a song on the record that I wrote about being harassed by someone and being fetishized for being a disabled woman. That was not a result of the Me Too movement. That was something that happened to me, as a woman. So nothing was intentionally written because of the political climate, but it feels really great to play those songs right now.

Have your tastes changed musically, individually or collectively? What are you guys listening to now, and how has your evolving musical interests impacted where you’re at now?

SU: I think we all still have the same indie and punk foundation, and the initial influences still feel right to us. It’s impossible to not expand your horizons, though. I’m sure it plays a big factor in how we’re writing, and I think it helps us to be more firm about stylistic things. I’m also a more confident singer than I was 20 years ago, so definitely in that case it’s had an impact.

What’s the future of the band? Do you want to keep moving forward with it and keep making records?

SU: The year’s pretty much planned out, tour-wise. We’re going to do a tour and then do Fest [in Tampa], and then I think we need a break [laughs]. That’s a lot of activity. We’ve talked to a label in the U.K. Seems like there’s sort of this thing happening right now particularly with about going over there – I can’t even wrap my brain around an opportunity like that.

‘90s bands – I tend to put you guys in But the point is, we’re just going to roll the same category as bands like Blake Babies, The Breeders, Letters To Cleo, with it. If we’re presented with an opportunity, we’ll see if it works out with our and Belly. Those bands are not just schedules. If we continue to write songs, touring again, they’re making records I’d love to make another record. No expecagain. Why do you think that is? tations, no pressure.

I don’t even like getting frustrated or SU: I think all of these bands, we’re all kind impatient at practice. I have to remind of in the same place in our lives. A lot of people are returning to the thing that gave myself, “Why I am I doing this? I love this, them the most joy when they were younger. so what I am I so flustered about?” I really have to get a little perspective and remind There was no fear of failure because you myself that this isn’t 20 years ago. There’s had a lot less obligation. Maybe now, from no endgame here. CS a DIY perspective, maybe we have the disposable income that we maybe didn’t POHGOH, JEFF TWO-NAMES, have growing up. It might also have to do BIRDPERSON @STARLAND DAIRY with the political climate right now, with Sun., Sep. 23, 6 P.M., All ages everyone looking for some sort of creative outlet.

Beloved Savannah trio returns with a new album and a new perspective

BY SEAN KELLY

sean@connectsavannah.com

CUSSES, the local favorites whose edgy experimental rock has been at the forefront of the Savannah scene since their inception, are good at rolling with changes.

A hiatus, followed by family and personal struggles, caused the band to drift apart before coming back together for Golden Rat — their long-awaited new album.

The album was a long time coming from the power trio, and was kickstarted by an unlikely opportunity — an opening slot for Bon Jovi. Now, the group is full steam ahead as they head off on tour in support of Golden Rat and get ready to start the next phase of their career in Nashville.

They’ll bring the Golden Rat tour to The Jinx on October 12 to celebrate the venue’s anniversary. We spoke to singer Angel Bond about relocating, the new album, and what’s kept the band going.

What prompted the move to Nashville, and what is it about experiencing different cities that appeals to you guys?

Angel: For myself personally, I had a few deaths in the family last year. I’ve moved so much in my life, and I haven’t lived near my family since I was 17. Half of my family is in Tennessee, so they’ve been trying to get me to Nashville, and I didn’t think it would happen this soon. Or ever [laughs].

With things changing, and losing people, you kind of just have a different outlook on life and quality time with family. Things like that were heavy on my mind this past year. I like to listen to the universe, and I do feel that I’ve been pushed in certain directions at different points in my life. I definitely felt a push to Nashville.

Do you think all of these changes played a role in what pushed the band forward? Did it influence what you were writing about?

We wrote this album a while ago, and it took us a while to get done. It took us a few years to get it together. Our drummer,

Brian Lackey, had lost his mother very suddenly, and there’s another friend from the Savannah community that we lost, so there was a lot of change going on at the time. But this past year of us coming back together and wanting to put this album out was a huge push.

Our guitarist, Bryan Harder, took on a new job and he hasn’t been able to tour for a while. So we had to make the decision to look for a touring guitarist. It wasn’t an easy decision for us, because Bryan handles the guitar parts and bass parts live through both a guitar and bass rig.

We’d been on the fence a long time about finding someone to tour with, and considered putting the project to rest, but we also did put a lot of time and energy into it. And we do love the music, so it’s really hard to just walk away and not give it its due.

Motown at a really young age, but was also really into ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s rock.

I try to bring a soul element at times, when I can. Some of the new stuff we have is almost like soul metal [laughs]. I want to do more ballads, like metal ballads, on the next record.

When you guys were based in Savannah, what was the scene like then?

Have you seen a change in the way things happen with bands here?

It’s really hard for me to gauge, especially in the last few years since I haven’t been around as much, but I’ve noticed when I come back that it does seem very different. When we first started playing we lived in a studio that we turned into an all-ages venue because we knew all of these bands that had nowhere to play. So we just started hosting shows, and we called it No Control.

On the new album, was there a conscious effort to do anything different in It turned into way more than we could manage, but we really saw what a necessity the writing process? Was there a conit was. cept in writing or production?

MUSIC THE BAND PAGE

BY SEAN KELLY

ALL THE LOCALS @CONGRESS ST. SOCIAL CLUB

All The Locals are a unique but identifiably Southern group that would fit nicely on both mainstream radio and on a bill with a band like the incomparable Alabama Shakes. Hailing from Atlanta, their songs are soulful, rhythmic and catchy.

They’ll be bringing those songs, and their high energy live show, to the Congress St. Social Club.

FRI., SEP. 14, 10 P.M.

ROCKET 77, GOOD GOOD GRIEF @THE JINX

Wilmington, NC’s Rocket 77 are punk rock purists, recalling the lo-fi sonics of hardcore bands like Minor Threat but using a more melodic approach similar to Social Distortion. Their fast-paced songs touch heavily on politics and are smart in arrangement and subject matter. Joining the band is Good Good Grief, fellow Wilmington punk rockers who lean more heavily on hardcore influences and even cite Stanley Kubrick as an influence.

SAT., SEP. 15, 21+

ROCKET 77

JONATHAN BAPTISTE & THE URBAN INTELLECTUALS @GOOD TIMES JAZZ BAR

CONNECT SAVANNAH | SEP 12-18, 2018

Jacksonville-based bassist and composer Jonathan Baptiste continues on his quest to bring jazz to younger generations with his intellectual arrangements and undeniably virtuosic band. He has, in many ways, been handed the baton for the genre and is signaling that the future of jazz is bright. He and his Urban Intellectuals bring their exciting compositions to Good Times for two sets.

SAT, SEP. 15, 8:30 P.M./11:30 P.M., $10

CHARLIE FOG @EL ROCKO LOUNGE

Savannah’s Grateful Dead enthusiasts bring their jams downtown to El Rocko, flying the flag of Jerry Garcia with integrity and passion. The band has become a mainstay in the local scene since they formed, and deliver spirited renditions of a wide selection of Dead classics.

CULTURE THEATRE

Savannah Children’s Theater Lets The Cat Out Of The Hat Long-running theater takes on Dr. Seuss for their first-ever adult cast performance

BY SEAN KELLY

sean@connectsavannah.com

THE SAVANNAH Children’s Theater, a staple in the local arts community, is starting their season off with a classic – performing Dr. Seuss’ Cat In The Hat with the theater’s first-ever adult cast. The longrunning theater has been known to tackle Dr. Seuss’ work in the past, and has also staged a variety of shows that include Willy Wonka, The Crucible, and Monty Python’s Spamalot. We spoke to director Jenn Doubleday and star Will Wright – who will be portraying the titular character - ahead of the show’s opening performance.

Tell me a bit about how the theater started.

JD: We started in 2004, with just a small band of kids doing theater classes after school. Then we added a field trip program and shows for kids to perform on weekends. And now, finally, we’re adding shows for adults to perform as well. This is our first ever stage show with grown-ups.

I think there are a lot of reasons why Dr. Seuss’ work continues to resonate, but what in particular made you feel like Cat In The Hat was something that you could bring to the Children’s Theater stage?

CONNECT SAVANNAH | SEP 12-18, 2018

JD: Well, who doesn’t love Dr. Seuss? Our entire season that we chose this year is all based on creative play. We want to remind parents that, “You don’t need an app for that.” We want them to be able to come here and see these live productions and then take that home with them. We want them to realize that you can have that theatrical experience off the stage just as well as you can here.

This show has some really great audience participation moments and interactive play moments. We hope they can take those home with them!

Will, how did you get into theater and what brought you to the Children’s Theater here in Savannah?

WW: I’ve been acting since sixth grade, when I made my debut, and then I minored in theater in college. I taught High School theater for two years in Omaha, Nebraska, and loved it! I moved out here with my wife and thought this would be a good chance to get back into acting. And they took me, 30 thankfully [laughs].

What do you think are the values that kids take the most from a theater experience?

JD: I think that when you’re invited to a theater performance at a young age, it’s a very empowering experience. For kids to be inches away from these actors, it gives them the idea that they can do it too. And when they see other kids performing on stage they think, ‘Hey, they’re the same age as me! I can do that too.’ So we just really hope that they come and take this play home with them. We want them to play Cat In The Hat in their living room and mess up the house – and clean it up when they’re done. We teach life skills, and theater is the

tool that we use to teach it.

WW: For me, it was always about the community. It was a place I felt wanted and needed, and I saw that in my students when I taught. People can come together and create something, and it bonds people together. Sure, you can get that in sports and other activities, but the community and the vibrancy of people who are attracted to theater is like nothing else.

volunteer, we have so many opportunities.

All of the actors and crew are volunteers.

And if you don’t want to be in the spotlight, you can be in the box office or the concession stand. We also have an annual fund that people can contribute to, so we can stay in this wonderful building and continue offering these programs. CS

What can people do to support the theater aside from just going to shows?

Telfair puts Impressionists in the spotlight with new exhibition opening Sept. 28

THREE years ago, the Jepson Center exhibited “Monet and American Impressionism,” a collection of work by American artists who were inspired by French Impressionists.

Claude Monet and Henri Matisse inspired Mary Cassatt and William Merritt Chase to push the boundaries of French Impressionism and create an American style.

Now, the Jepson turns the spotlight back on the original inspiration with “Monet to Matisse: Masterworks of French Impressionism from the Dixon Gallery and Gardens.”

The exhibition opens Sept. 28 at the Jepson Center and includes important work Marc Chagall, Dreamer by the biggest names in Impressionism, like Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Paul Gauguin.

As Courtney McNeil, Chief Curator and Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs, explains, the high level of interest in “Monet and American Impressionism” inspired this prequel.

“There was a huge level of interest in that exhibition,” McNeil recalls. “It featured four works by Monet, a French artist, and the remaining 35 were by American artists. People were interested in this idea of French Impressionists that caused a cascade of effects in the art world. For this current show, we started by looking at the later part of the story.”

Impressionist painters like the ones featured in this exhibition were interested in the way light interacted with their subject.

“They rewrote the rules,” says McNeil.

Paul Cezanne, Trees and Rocks near the “They saw established norms and didn’t Chateau Noir like them. They had tremendous curiosity of the world, and a lot of it ties to scientific developments [of the time]. Scientists were colors. “[With] Matisse, for example, the work learning so much about light and how the we have by him shows how his work was human eye processes light, and Impressionists were certainly aware of this. They verging into Fauvism,” McNeil explains. were fascinated by this idea of how the eye “Fauvists were given that name because of the wild colors they used. Although the absorbs light and the effects of it, and how Impressionists were radical, artists are they changed so dramatically in nature in never satisfied unless they’re innovating, a matter of scenes.” so the use of color got even more radical.”

who started collecting in the early 20th century under the advice of a French scholar,” shares McNeil. “The museum has augmented the collection over the years, so they’re really a hidden gem. It’s wonderful to have partners in the field, and for them it’s wonderful to show their collection to the millions of people who come through our city.”

The exhibition also includes an interactive aspect, where visitors can use a remote to change LED lights shining down from the ceiling.

“If a colored light is shining, the complementary color is the color of the shadow,”

McNeil explains. “It sounds weird, but when you see the image, it rings true!”

As of press time, the exhibition isn’t yet installed, but McNeil’s excitement is ramping up.

“We’re painting the walls, we’ve got the signage,” she says, “but, for me, the most exciting part is having artists of this caliber in our museum–I get to arrange Degas and Gauguin.” CS

Keeping the past alive Masud Ashley Olufani is highly anticipated Jacob and Gwendolyn Lawrence Lecture keynote speaker

BY RACHAEL FLORA

rachael@connectsavannah.com

CONNECT SAVANNAH | SEP 12-18, 2018

MASUD Ashley Olufani will discuss his work focusing on erasure of memory at the annual Jacob and Gwendolyn Lawrence Lecture.

Olufani is the featured speaker for the lecture, which is sponsored by the Jacob and Gwendolyn Lawrence Foundation, presented by Telfair’s Friends of African American Artists, and funded by the City of Savannah. The Atlanta-based artist will explain his work, “Blocked: A Global Healing Project.”

By chance, Olufani stumbled onto his current work while working on something else.

“I worked on a project called ’37 Weeks: Sherman on the March,’ which essentially chronicles Sherman’s march throughout Georgia. At the end of the film, they show you areas of Atlanta during the Civil War and a slow fade to show that same area currently,” Olufani recalls.

During this sequence, Olufani learned that the Five Points MARTA station on the corner of Alabama and Peachtree used to be the Crawford Negro Brokerage House, a former site for slave trade.

“Now, when I was a student at Morehouse [College, in Atlanta], I had traveled to Five Points more times than I remembered,” Olufani says. “There was no indicator, no public marker about the history of the site before MARTA got its hands on the site. I was determined that something needed to be done correcting the erasure of memory.”

Olufani got to work creating a public memorial as well as an accompanying exhibition.

“I gave a performance based on digital film footage that I took myself and was able to take a single image of the auction house and fade in and fade out like a ghostly imprint,” he explains. “I had a friend of mine who’s an amazing opera singer moving through the museum. She walked 38 through the crowd in a simple white dress

Still Blocked at 5 Points 2017

with no shoes on and got up to the auction block.”

The powerful imagery resonated with the crowd.

“I was aware that people were crying and overwhelmed, and I was overwhelmed by the fact that they were overwhelmed,” Olufani shares. “From that, I was introduced to people who were compelled by the project and didn’t know the history of Five Points—I was able to open the doors.

What happened was I thought this kind of erasure in history, I bet, has not taken place only in Atlanta, but other locations around the world.”

Olufani will give his performance in the Jepson Center’s atrium with singers from the Atlanta Opera standing on auction blocks to embody the enslaved people.

“There will also be some performers who remain in the audience, one of whom will be a white singer because I want to break down this notion that history is owned by a particular cultural group,” Olufani says. “I want there to be a collective ownership. These performers will be in everyday clothes and do a call and response with those spirits of the enslaved people to break down the third wall.” CS

CONNECT SAVANNAH | SEP 12-18, 2018

SAVANNAH IS one of those “little big cities” where it seems like everybody knows everybody else. So, while researching for my next article, it didn’t come as a huge surprise to learn that my husband grew up with Capital Bee Company’s owner Thomas Hinely.

After getting a little backstory on Broughton Street’s newest bee bazaar, I quickly jumped on the chance to pop into their new storefront and learn about honey from Thomas.

Though I went to learn the ins-and-outs of the honey hustle, I ended up learning Thomas’ tale, which is about as close as to the American Dream as I’ve seen in person, and he taught me how his perseverance and willingness to take risks have landed him as Savannah’s newest prophet of pollenation.

After growing up a local Savannah boy, Thomas began nursing school following his time at Calvary Day School. Midway through, he decided to end his current route and follow his dreams—starting his own local business.

He asked his family for help, they obliged, and Thomas was able to begin sourcing high quality honey from around the country then hand pouring each jar.

From there, starting small, Thomas took his honey on the road selling it at craft shows all over the east coast. Next came a website followed by wholesale distribution.

I remember tasting Thomas’ honey at several events around town and seeking it out immediately after. To this day, all of their honey is poured and jarred by hand in their warehouse located here in Savannah.

Thomas began the company in 2013, and only four short years later, on the week of Thanksgiving, his first storefront opened on Broughton Street.

“We call it our Honey Boutique. It’s our happy place. We get to sell our honey everyday and also support a lot of other small vendors like us,” Kristen Harkleroad, the Director of Opera40 tions, explains.

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE

At the brand new location, you can usually find Thomas there educating patrons about honey or pumping out samples of their wildly unique honey. Kristen can often be found working in the store as well.

“Capital Bee focuses on unique, monofloral honey. We work with small beekeepers from all over the United States to provide the best honey there is,” Kristen tells me.

Monofloral honey refers to the type of honey that is predominantly flavored from one plant type, allowing the honey to retain the distinct flavor profiles of that specific plant.

Another unique quality of Capital Bee’s honey is that it is all unfiltered and unheated. I ask Thomas and Kristen about this, and she explains that “honey is best unheated and unfitted to preserve its natural flavor along with its naturally occurring nutrients.”

The Raw Blueberry Honey has a strong scent and flavor of blueberry due to its pollination from a blueberry bush. When you open the bottle, your nose is filled with the floral scent of blueberries, and the flavor of the honey is extremely similar to the taste.

Adding it to treats like yogurt, ice cream, and baked goods is ideal for such a unique honey.

The list of mono-honeys is long, blackberry, raspberry, snowberry, orange blossom, and maple are just some of the distinct flavors available. Each honey smells and tastes of the plant from which it was pollinated, and not a single jar at Capital Bee has a drop of flavoring added.

Capital Bee’s most unique honey is sourced from Texas—the Guajillo Acacia Honey. The bees contribute flavor to the honey from the cream colored blooms of a wild desert bush, guajillo acacia.

Honey connoisseurs flock after this honey because its flavor profile is unique with notes of chocolate and coffee.

My all time favorite product, which I would guess is the same for most of Savannah, is Capital Bee’s Frosted Honey.

Although the honey looks like frosting, the whipped honey only has a texture that is similar icing but it is made purely from honey. To create it, white clover honey is whipped until it transforms into something more fluffy.

The best-seller for the store is a cinnamon version of the Frosted Honey, the Cinnamon Frosted Honey. Both air and cinnamon are whipped into the honey for this one. Both products are perfect for spreading on top of almost anything, fruit, bread, cookies, and even that sweet potato casserole that is at every family gathering.

If you are like me, a spoon is the only accompaniment that is needed for this honey.

For those that are not a fan of the sticky, sometimes messy, qualities of

honey, Capital Bee’s Granulated Wildflower Honey is something you should try.

Wildflower honey is put through a special heating and drying process to turn it into sweet little honey granules. The sweet floral characteristics of the wildflower honey remain, making this product perfect for baking or stirring into coffee.

If you are a good Southerner like me, you find yourself bringing a bottle of wine or covered dish to any gathering you attend.

Capital Bee’s honeycomb is something you should consider taking next time.

I love adding it to a party’s cheese plate, and of course devouring that cheese plate with wine. The sweet waxy handcut treat works hand in hand with all off the fruit, nuts, and cheese covering a well built cheeseboard.

Just last week, the store joined the Savannah Art Walk and now features over fourteen local artist on the walls of the

boutique and through the store. The actual art walk happens on the second Saturday of every month.

When I asked Thomas and Kristen what was next for the growing company and store, I was told “we are going to debut a few new honeys and we have plans on expanding to some other products soon.”

WHEN talking about this year’s Frightfest, taking place at the Lucas Theater on September 29, Graveface Records owner Ryan Graveface sounds energized.

The local legend, who started his label and record store after moving to Savannah from Chicago, is teaming up for the first time with the Psychotronic Film Society’s Jim Reed and plotting an all-day horror extravaganza that will be capped with a Q&A from famed horror director Jeff Burr.

Reed and Graveface, both seasoned touring musicians with strikingly similar backgrounds and interests, came together after Graveface had already done some Frightfest events over the last few years.

“I used to be involved with a 24-hour horror movie fest in Chicago,” Graveface explains.

“I moved down here in 2010, and after getting my feet on the ground I did my first In The Mouth Of Madness event in 2013. Jim and I have been talking In the current political climate, a lot about doing something for a long time, so it there was nowhere for the general public of what’s considered great modern art is to regularly see non-mainstream feature made sense to try it with this.” also fundamentally social and political.

“For the first two years that I lived here, suggested that perhaps instead of waiting “Horror movies have long been used I’d go back up to Chicago just to attend the around for someone else to offer an alteras a tool for ambitious filmmakers to native, perhaps I should just do it myself.”

“If all the creative and active (as opposed to re-active) people who live in Savannah and love it for what it is, not what it could be were to focus their energies and ideas in a constructive and fearless manner, it would solve many of the city’s most vexing internal problems within one or two election cycles, like a Krell Machine for altruism.”

climate is so intense that you kind of have to scream louder than everyone else to get your point across,” he says. “It’s 2018, there is no subtlety.”

With Graveface and PFS teaming up for this year’s Frightfest, the future of Savannah’s film community is in the most capable of hands.

Savannah, Reed exclaims, is “a wonderful city that –generally speaking—has virtually no idea just how amazingly lucky it is, and much of that richness and majesty has to do with the art, film, music and literature communities.”

“This city is unfortunately led by civic, business and religious leaders who are (in far too many cases) charlatans and hoodwink artists. Their collusive, self-serving behavior and opportunistic decisions are an existential threat to the history and mystery of this dirty swamp diamond I have made my home,” he continues.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom), with a combined stateside gross of over $1.8 billion dollars. Naturally, the all-star extravaganza Avengers: Infinity War led the pack, with Incredibles 2, Deadpool 2 and AntMan and the Wasp also earning significant bank. As for the top-grossing film of the entire year, it’s also a super-saga: February’s Black Panther, which finally passed the $700 million mark in early August.

Least Dependable Movie Stars: Dogs.

Say it ain’t so! Alas, man’s (and woman’s) best friend wasn’t able to sniff out much success with critics and/or audience members — a far cry from those long-ago years when Rin Tin Tin was the nation’s #1 box office draw. May’s Show Dogs earned rancid reviews while the August releases Dog Days and A.X.L. (the latter about a robotic canine) both bombed with viewers. As for the dog’s cousin, the majestic wolf, one starred in the August release Alpha — yet while that picture was greeted with strong reviews, it likewise failed to find an audience.

Movie I’m Most Sorry to Have Missed In Theaters: (tie) RBG and Won’t You Be My Neighbor? These two nonfiction features proved to be the sleeper hits of the summer, earning rapturous reviews and grossing enough to land them both on the list of the all-time top 25 moneymaking documentaries. I hated missing

them in theaters; luckily, both are now just hitting Blu-ray, meaning my wait is almost over. Runner-up: Leave No Trace, which has a perfect 100% rating (from a whopping 182 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes.

Movie I’m Least Sorry To Have Missed In Theaters: Death of a Nation.

Trump recently pardoned Dinesh D’Souza of criminal charges, so this bogus documentary is him returning the ass-kissing favor. Even the base knew well enough to stay away, resulting in one of the summer’s puniest releases (among movies playing on over 1,000 screens, only Action Point and Bad Samaritan grossed less).

Best Performances: (Alphabetical) Toni Collette – Hereditary; Elsie Fisher – Eighth Grade; Ethan Hawke – First Reformed; Charlize Theron – Tully; John David Washington – BlacKkKlansman.

Best Film: Eighth Grade. Television and YouTube star Bo Burnham makes an impressive feature-film debut as the writer and director of this raw and realistic movie about an introverted student struggling to survive her last week of eighth grade before preparing for high school. Yet the real story here is the knockout central performance by 15-year-old Elsie Fisher — her work as Kayla Day will break your heart. Runnersup: First Reformed; BlacKkKlansman. CS

CONNECT SAVANNAH | SEP 12-18, 2018

Sexiest Stud: Andy Garcia. Forget about Tom Cruise, Chris Pratt, and the other boys of summer. Only Andy Garcia had the distinction of wooing the ladies in two films this summer. Book Club found him sweetly seducing Diane Keaton, while Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again saw him lavishing his attentions on Cher. In real life, Garcia is 62 years old — I guess people in that age group aren’t called sexagenarians for nothing.

Best Scene-Stealer: Awkwafina, in both Crazy Rich Asians and Ocean’s 8.

Runner-up: Eeyore in Christopher Robin.

Most Unexpected Reference To A Werner Herzog Documentary: Book Club. The character played by Candice Bergen hasn’t had sex in 18 years, leading one of the other ladies to quip that her vagina is a “cave of forgotten dreams.”

Most Expected Reference To A Sharon Stone Blockbuster: The Happytime Murders. Given the film’s focus on puppet pudenda, it’s scarcely surprising when a femme fatale flashes her forbidden felt a la Stone in Basic Instinct.

Most Dependable Movie Stars: Superheroes. Given the state of modern cinema, this isn’t exactly a surprise. Yet once again, summer was overpowered by colorfully garbed beings. Four of the five top-grossing movies of the season thus far are superhero films (the one exception:

WITH summertime tragically on its way out, it’s time for the annual glance at the movies audiences and critics enjoyed (or endured) over the past four months. Here, then, are some of the seasonal highlights and low points.

Biggest Disappointment: Solo: A Star Wars Story. For the vast majority of my life, Han Solo has been — along with Atticus Finch, Indiana Jones, James Bond, and a few others — one of my defining cinematic heroes, which is why it pained me to see the character’s iconic dimensions reduced so drastically and dramatically in this ultimately unnecessary addition to the Star Wars saga. Those of us who grew up with the franchise since a young age and find it still rooted in our DNA deserved something better than a cash-grab that’s only moderately entertaining and not especially memorable. Clearly, this feeling was shared by many, as this has emerged as the first Star Wars film to lose money.

Biggest Stateside Bomb: Skyscraper.

Were it not for the Christmas smash Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, there might be more question marks circling the continued viability of Dwayne Johnson as a box office draw. Last summer found him headlining Baywatch, which ended up losing $11 million stateside, while this past spring saw his Rampage coming up $21 million short in U.S. profits. Neither, though, flopped as bad as Skyscraper, a generic action yarn that cost $125 million yet only grossed $67 million — a $58 million tumble. As with Rampage, it took the international audience to save the picture from total disaster, with foreign earnings up to $225 million.

Mamma Mia! Biggest Surprise: Here We Go Again. Considering I wasn’t a fan of the 2008 hit Mamma Mia!, I wasn’t expecting much from this belated sequel.

So imagine my delight to discover this outshines the original in virtually every department, with better singing, better dancing, and better humor. Bonus props to Lily James (Cinderella, Baby Driver), who is excellent “playing” Meryl Streep (i.e. young Donna in flashback scenes).

an amorphous hodgepodge, or a simmering mess of semi-interesting confusion, or an amiable dabbler headed in too many directions at once. But in my opinion, casual observers would be wrong in that assessment. What’s closer to the symbolic truth about you is an image described by poet Carolyn Forché: grapes that are ripening in the fog. Here’s another image that resonates with your current state: sea turtle eggs gestating beneath the sand on a misty ocean beach. One further metaphor for you: the bright yellow flowers of the evening primrose plant, which only bloom at night.

BY ROB BREZSNY

Now is an excellent time to feel and explore and understand and even appreciate your sadness. To get you in the mood, here’s a list of sadnesses from novelist Jonathan Safran Foer: sadness of the could-have-been; sadness of being misunderstood; sadness of having too many options; sadness of being smart; sadness of awkward conversations; sadness of feeling the need to create beautiful things; sadness of going unnoticed; sadness of domesticated birds; sadness of arousal being an unordinary physical state; sadness of wanting sadness.

Do you have any feral qualities lurking deep down inside you? Have you ever felt a mad yearning to communicate using howls and yips instead of words? When you’re alone, do you sometimes dispense with your utensils and scoop the food off your plate with your fingers? Have you dreamed of running through a damp meadow under the full moon for the sheer ecstasy of it? Do you on occasion experience such strong erotic urges that you feel like you could weave your body and soul together with the color green or the sound of a rain-soaked river or the moon rising over the hills? I ask these questions, Taurus, because now is an excellent time to draw on the instinctual wisdom of your feral qualities.

“Close some doors today,” writes novelist Paulo Coelho. “Not because of pride, incapacity, or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere.” I endorse his advice for your use, Gemini. In my astrological opinion, you’ll be wise to practice the rough but fine art of saying NO. It’s time for you to make crisp decisions about where you belong and where you don’t; about where your future fulfillment is likely to thrive and where it won’t; about which relationships deserve your sage intimacy and which tend to push you in the direction of mediocrity.

CANCERIAN (June 21-July 22)

To casual observers you may seem to be

I want to make sure that the groove you’re in doesn’t devolve into a rut. So I’ll ask you unexpected questions to spur your imagination in unpredictable directions.

Ready? 1. How would you describe the untapped riches in the shadowy part of your personality? 2. Is there a rare object you’d like to own because it would foster your feeling that the world has magic and miracles? 3. Imagine the perfect party you’d love to attend and how it might change your life for the better. 4. What bird most reminds you of yourself? 5.

What’s your most evocative and inspiring taboo daydream? 6. In your past, were there ever experiences that made you cry for joy in ways that felt almost orgasmic?

How might you attract or induce a catharsis like that sometime soon?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

By volume, the Amazon is the largest river in the world. But where does it originate?

Scientists have squabbled about that issue for over 300 years. Everyone agrees the source is in southwestern Peru. But is it the Apurímac River? The Marañón? The Mantaro? There are good arguments in favor of each. Let’s use this question as a poetic subtext as we wonder and meditate about the origin of your life force, Virgo.

As is the case for the Amazon, your source has long been mysterious. But I suspect that’s going to change during the next 14 months. And the clarification process begins soon.

SEX ADDICTS ANONYMOUS If you believe you have a problem with sex addiction (or are wondering if you might) and you want to change your behavior, we recommend that you attend a meeting of Sex Addicts Anonymous. The only requirement is a desire to stop your addictive sexual behavior. Meets Mondays at 7 pm. Call for venue information. ongoing. 731-412-0183. saa-recovery.org.

When Warsan Shire was a child, she immigrated to the UK with her Somalian parents. Now she’s a renowned poet who writes vividly about refugees, immigrants, and other marginalized people. To provide support and inspiration for the part of you that feels like an exile or fugitive or displaced person, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I offer you two quotes by Shire. 1. “I belong deeply to myself.” 2. “Document the moments you feel most in love with yourself—what you’re wearing, who you’re around, what you’re doing. Recreate and repeat.”

“Once in a while came a moment when everything seemed to have something to say to you.” So says a character in Alice Munro’s short story “Jakarta.” Now I’m using that message as the key theme of your horoscope. Why? Because you’re at the peak of your ability to be reached, to be touched, to be communicated with. You’re willing to be keenly receptive. You’re strong enough to be deeply influenced. Is it because you’re so firmly anchored in your understanding and acceptance of who you are?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

In 1928, novelist Virginia Woolf wrote a letter to her friend Saxon Sidney Turner.

“I am reading six books at once, the only way of reading,” she confided, “since one book is only a single unaccompanied note, and to get the full sound, one needs ten others at the same time.” My usual inclination is to counsel you Sagittarians to focus on one or two important matters rather than on a multitude of semi-important matters. But in accordance with current astrological omens, I’m departing from tradition to suggest you adopt Woolf’s approach to books as your approach to everything. Your life in the coming weeks should be less like an acoustic ballad and more like a symphony for 35 instruments.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Not many goats can climb trees, but there are daredevils in Morocco that do. They go

in quest of the delicious olive-like berries that grow on argan trees. The branches on which they perch may be 30 feet off the ground. I’m naming them as your power creature for the coming weeks. I think you’re ready to ascend higher in search of goodies. You have the soulful agility necessary to transcend your previous level of accomplishment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

From 49-45 BC, civil war wracked the Roman Republic. Julius Caesar led forces representing the common people against armies fighting for the aristocracy’s interests. In 45 BC, Caesar brought a contingent of soldiers to Roman territory in North Africa, intent on launching a campaign against the enemy. As the general disembarked from his ship, he accidentally slipped and fell. Thinking fast, he exclaimed, “Africa, I have tight told of you!” and clasped the ground, thus implying he had lowered himself on purpose in a ritual gesture of conquest. In this way, he converted an apparent bad omen into a positive one. And indeed, he won the ensuing battle, which was the turning point that led to ultimate victory and the war’s end. That’s good role modeling for you right now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Below are sweet words I’ve borrowed from poets I love. I invite you to use them to communicate with anyone who is primed to become more lyrically intimate with you. The time is right for you to reach out! 1. “You look like a sea of gems.” — Qahar Aasi 2. “I love you with what in me is unfinished.” —Robert Bly 3. “Yours is the light by which my spirit’s born.” —E. E. Cummings 4. “Tell me the most exquisite truths you know.” —Barry Hannah 5. “It’s very rare to know you, very strange and wonderful.” —F. Scott Fitzgerald 6. “When you smile like that you are as beautiful as all my secrets.” —Anne Carson 7.

Everything you say is “like a secret voice speaking straight out of my own bones.”

—Sylvia Plath
