Savannah’s popular Asian Festival returns for its 10th year
TAKE A TRIP to the exotic Orient without ever leaving Savannah. The Tenth Annual Asian Festival is this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Savannah Civic Center. Admission is free. The City of Savannah’s Department of Cultural Affairs and the city’s Asian community present the festival each year, which features Asian food, dance, music, workshops, martial arts and more. The countries that will be represented include China, the Philippines, Vietnam, India, Korea, Thailand, Nepal, Pakistan and the Polynesian Islands of Hawaii, Samoa, New Zealand and Tahiti. The chairwoman for the Asian Festival is Pang y Royals, also known as Kim. She is with the Korean Association and organizes the stage performance, Korean food and cultural booth, Korean Games and the Tea Ceremony workshop. The Asian Festival committee has worked about six months to put the festival together, Kim says. “It takes a lot of volunteers,” she says. “We will have all different food and culture booths, where we will have demonstrations from the individual countries,” Kim says. “There will be an educational hands-on workshop in Chinese calligraphy and painting, a tea ceremony, bamboo pole dancers and all kinds of things.” The Korean Association puts its portion of the festival together with the help of about 50 volunteers. “We sell food, hand out literature and do cultural activities,” Kim says. “We take a lot of things to show to people,” she says. “Soaps, candles -- we show them the things that we make.” Kim came to Savannah in October, 1974. “I came to this country in 1973 and lived in Columbus, Ohio for a year,” she says. Kim and her late husband then moved to Savannah, where one of their children was born. “My husband worked for the city police,” she says.

“That is our project for the coming week,” Maloata says. Last year, the Children of Polynesia served Pu Pu Platters, which have a variety of items on one plate. “We found out it was too much food,” Maloata says. “People are looking for samples,” she says. “We did well, but we actually had a lot left over. It was too much diversity. “A lot of folks asked for pig last year,” Maloata says. The Children of Polynesia are a hit each year. “We personally just love the whole festival,” Maloata says. “It’s good for us, and it’s good for the children. We get so many good reviews when we perform around town.” The Children of Polynesia continues to grow in number. “With parents and all, there are about 40 of us,” Maloata says. “We are trying to keep our children familiar with their culture because we are so far away from home.” continued on page 8

she was 12. She lives in Hinesville. After hearing about the Asian Festival, Prompalin got in touch with the Department of Cultural Affairs. “I’ve been involved with it ever since its second year,” she says. “I just like to represent my country,” Prompalin says. “I like people to see how beautiful our outfits are and learn how good our food is. I hope everyone comes and sees us.” This is the fifth year the Children of Polynesia have participated in the festival. “We do a number of dance routines from Hawaii, Samoa, New Zealand and Tahiti,” says Reba Maloata. “Last year, we also set up a food booth,” she says. “This year, we will sell Kahlua pig.” Yes, the pig will be cooked underground, just as it would be in Polynesia.

The Thai Association has been participating in the Asian Festival for the past nine years. “We sell Thai food and do Thai dance,” says spokeswoman Val Prompalin. The association will offer delights such as spring rolls, Pad Thai, beef and chicken teriyaki, chicken curry, cucumber salad and more. “It takes two days to prepare,” Prompalin says. Visitors to the Asian Festival are always impressed with the Thai food. “They always ask questions,” Prompalin says. “They ask if I have a restaurant.” (No, she doesn’t, but she guides visitors to the city’s Thai restaurants.) Prompalin is best known for her Pad Thai. “It has been in the newspaper,” she says. “I am always asked to give the recipe for it.” A native of Thailand, Prompalin came to the United States 20 years ago when

The success of the Asian Festival is due to the fascination Americans have for other cultures, Kim says. “They come and see different cultures and the things we have,” she says. “They bring their children so they can experience the different cultures. The world is getting smaller and smaller.” Kim says she is thankful for “all the people who allow us to be who we are.” “I personally think this is good for us,” she says. “It helps us understand more about this country, too. God made us all one. We all have the same heart.” Headlining the stage performances this year is Matsuriza, a Japanese Taiko drum group. “My husband started drumming when he was little in Japan,” says Yuko Ishikura, who is a member of the group. “All his family did it.” There are 12 members of Matsuriza, and the Ishikuras have many students. “Drumming is not easy,” she says. “We are still learning. We practice every week.” “Matsuriza” means “festival drumming,” making the group a perfect fit for the Asian Festival, It made an earlier appearance in Savannah in 2002. But the group’s daytime job is performing at Epcot Center in Orlando, Fla. “We meet many people,” Ishikura says. “We tell them things about our culture. It is a very good experience.”

Most members are associated with the military or are retired from it, Maloata says. “We’ve been doing this about 13 years, not just the festival, but going to private parties,” she says. Maloata originally is from Hawaii, but was raised in Ohio. “I graduated high school in Ohio, but went back to the islands to live for a while,” she says. “Then I met my husband, who is Samoan. He was reassigned to Fort Stewart, so I came here.” The group is active almost year-round. “We take a break in December and January, then start up again at the end of January,” Maloata says. The Children of Polynesia also appear at the Small World Festival held in Hinesville every year. Performances must be planned around school schedules. “Most of our dancers are school-age,” Maloata says. “We really appreciate the community coming together and allowing us to be a part of this great festival.” Khurasheed Queshi represents Pakistan at the festival. “I do Pakistani culture, clothing and a food booth,” she says. Queshi’s daughter does henna art, painting intricate designs on people’s hands. “It’s very popular,” Queshi says. “We started eight or nine years ago when no one knew about it. Now it has spread everywhere.” Queshi begins preparing for the festival early. “It takes a long time,” she says.
“I have to import stuff from Pakistan,” Queshi says. “I make my own clothes. It takes five to six months to get ready.” It’s a lot of work for Queshi, but she loves doing it. “I think it is in my nature to do these things,” she says. “I love to do something for my country. The Chinese Benevolent Association is an important part of the festival. “It was originally formed many years ago by a small group of Chinese merchants who worked every day, 14 to 16 hours a day, and had little time to socialize,” Dean Lee says. “The association would help them on medical questions, legal questions, immi-

gration and such things as filling out Social Security forms.” Now the group is purely social and has its own clubhouse. “We have a Tai Chi group and a Chinese school,” Lee says. “Some of our students are children from China who have been adopted by Caucasian couples,” he says. “We have annual parties, and the clubhouse gives us a place to gather.” In addition to a food booth, the association will have a calligraphy booth. “We will offer ribbons and name tags featuring names and sayings written in Chinese,” Lee says.
In the past, association members cooked the food themselves. “Lately, we’ve been soliciting donations from various Chinese restaurants,” Lee says. “i’m told that years ago we used to have huge egg roll sales, but it would take the entire club weeks to do,” he says. “The problem we have now is that all the young people have moved out to the big cities. The only ones left are senior citizens, and we can only do so much.” The money raised from the sale of food and other items helps fund the association, but that’s not why the group participates. “We do it primarily to further our culture a little bit,” Lee says. “It gives people from other nations a chance to learn about us.” Volunteers representing the Philippines will have a food booth and workshop. “There will be dancing,” says Enrique Lacanilao. “It takes about 20 people, including the officers of the association to do it all.” “We are grateful to the city leaders,” Kim says. “Come on out and join us and see what it’s like on the other side of the world.” ◗
The Tenth Annual Asian Festival will be held Saturday, June 18 from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Savannah Civic Center. Admission is free. For more information call Cultural Affairs at 651-6417 or visit www.savannahga.gov.

“telling” Madeline, who lived here for a spell. A hotel that was built next to a funeral home in the same red brick, the same architectural style. Where someone bought me a glass of wine costing $11.25. Where there are butlers who draw baths and hang up clothes. And because we are the same age - I thought of her during James Brown’s free concert at Forsyth Park. He’s a little fellow, I say, high-waisted with a big head and a rock of a ring on one finger. Then there was Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson’s recent appearances in Savannah’s Grayson Stadium when I stood squished in the mosh pit under a Maxwell Parish sky with a whole variety of disparate souls, one a lawyer from Long County and his daughter-in-law who caught Willie’s hat which he tossed from the stage. Later on a friend told me she ran into her mother, after which she pulled out a cellphone to call her brother with the news. I told Madeline that, and also about Willie’s 17-year-old son playing guitar, his slightly older sister on the keyboards and the funny way he had of making contact with people in the audience, first with his eyes, then with a sweet wave where his fingers and thumb came together rapidly, reminding me of puppeteer Sheri Lewis when she would do her Lamb Chop character. At 72, the same age as James Brown, Willie looked a little more ample than before, I said, unlike Dylan, his usual railthin self. No waving to the fans for Dylan, though. And no guitar, either. With the same Donald Duck voice, he’s all about pithy lyrics, the keyboard - and incense, which blended nicely with the sweet smell of weed from the audience. And while Dylan’s band - a relatively new group for him, a crackerjack band that really cranked it up - Willie and his crew just cruised on through the set. Later on, Scooter Franks, the man who introduced Willie and has been selling his merchandise for 30 years, told me the drummer’s been him 39 years, the bassman 37, the man playing harmonica 25, the man driving their bus, the Honeysuckle Rose #3, 22 years. No changes for them. It’s nice talking to my old pals, remembering them in these concrete ways. I like it when they answer me back, too. ◗

VERY CLEVER OF YOU, JOAN. First to come back as a dolphin up Corkscrew Creek, swimming so dangerously close to land, so coquettishly, just as we were starting to feast on all your recipes. Then in my garden a few weeks ago, to drop back again with more theatrics this time as a polyphemus moth with a five-inch wing span and dramatic yellow eyespots on each of your forewings, once again as we were starting yet another feast, this time under the sycamore tree, a host plant for that particular moth. Very clever and very beautiful the way you floated off when we pressed too close. Not that we need reminders to keep talking about you. Not by a long shot. Let’s see. Shortly after you became an angel, Julio came by with some cevich he made from the octopus we rescued from your freezer. Carmela found an art book of Lucian Freud’s work that she lent to Cathy, one of her students who was interested in his paintings but unable to find a book. Bev started showing up in one of your fine, oversized shirts. And everywhere I go I see the postcard of one of your paintings, a self-portrait, announcing the show of your work at the Sentient Bean, a really great show, by the way. Then there’s the ruler/letter opener from RCA’s “field support services” that Boris, your father, who was in advertising in Chicago, must have kept at his desk. I am really enjoying that. Just today I used it to measure a new morning glory leaf, some four inches wide. Lately, I find myself talking to the departed. Not in a morbid or melancholic way. More out of habit, even though some of these people have been gone a number of years. When I see all the fruit on my fig tree, I automatically think of Betty Lees, a big lover of figs. Now I’ll have to find someone else to give them to. When I start alphabetizing the books on my bookshelves - a truly summer activity - I find myself telling Madeline, who also arranged her books this way: “You wouldn’t believe how many authors I have whose names start with ‘K’. Who would think?” Who would think Savannah would have a five-star hotel, I continued

In what was billed as “the largest police operation since St. Patrick’s Day and the G-8,” Savannah police joined with state and federal law enforcement to swarm local streets last Thursday and Friday nights. The stated goal, according to Savannah police spokesman Bucky Burnsed was “an effort to promote visibility, but also to interdict drug corner activity and provide aggressive tactical police support for the assault on crime.” Thursday night’s operation was primarily a “scouting operation” to set up the larger operation Friday night -- which in keeping with the overall paramilitary theme was described by one officer as “Operation Total Focus on Steroids.” Areas targeted included Ware Street, 54th Street near Waters Avenue, Montgomery and 32nd St, the 700 block of West Oglethorpe, and Madison Apartments. In all, the Counter Narcotics Team made 14 felony and misdemeanor arrests on charges ranging from Possession of Controlled Substances and Attempts to Obtain Controlled Substances to the Use of a Communication Device in the Commission of a Crime. Another 17 arrests by other agencies included five felony drug arrests, three misdemeanor drug arrests, a concealed weapons charge and other charges including a prostitution arrest.

In an era of tight education budgets, one category of Texas school spending seems unrestrained, according to a May Houston Chronicle story: high school football stadiums. More than 20 new or planned facilities (“gridiron cathedrals”) resemble those of professional teams, with luxury suites, plush locker rooms and weight rooms, or even climate-controlled indoor practice facilities. The $20 million stadium in Denton, Texas, which includes a $900,000, three-story scoreboard with instant replay, is barely better than the state-of-the-art fields in Waco, Southlake and Mesquite, but may not hold up to the $27 million facility in Round Rock. Critics bemoan the terribly misplaced priorities, but defenders say the stadiums may eventually pay for themselves and that construction bonds are more accessible than the tax money necessary to raise teacher salaries.

Russian “astrologist” Marina Bai has filed a lawsuit in the Presnensky district court in Moscow against the U.S. government’s NASA, claiming that her business will be ruined if the agency is allowed, as planned, to crash a rocket into the Tempel 1 comet on July 4 to see what can be learned from the experience. Bai said the collision will “interfere with the natural life of the universe,” which will in turn harm her “system of spiritual values,” and she seeks 8.7 billion rubles (about US$311 million, which is the reported cost of the entire mission). Rhonda Nichols, 40, filed a lawsuit in April against a Lowe’s Home Center in Alton, Ill., seeking a minimum of $50,000 for injuries she says she suffered when a bird about the size of a pigeon flew against the back of her head while she was shopping in the store’s outdoor gardening department. According to the lawsuit, the bird caused injuries to her head, brain, neck, muscles, bones, nerves, discs and ligaments, and led to the loss of neurological functions and cognitive skills. Said a Lowe’s assistant manager, “It’s an outside garden area. What are we supposed to do?”

The courts of Madison County, Ill. (near St. Louis), have a reputation in the legal community as friendly to plaintiffs who sue companies, and thus attorneys are eager to find lawsuits to file there. (Rhonda Nichols’ lawsuit against Lowe’s, above, is an example.) In 2002, lawyer Emert Wyss conceived a Madison County lawsuit on behalf of a client against a mortgage company for collecting what he thought were bogus fees on real estate transactions. Wyss’ litigation stimulus (he received a referral fee and was part of the lawsuit) proved too clever: The litigation team strategically added a local title company as co-defendant, only to discover that the title company is owned by Emert Wyss. Thus, in a rush to litigate in Madison County, Wyss had actually sparked a lawsuit against himself. (He eventually withdrew from the team.)
Great Art! In May, backhoe contractor and parttime sculptor Ricky Pearce created a 17foot-high, 40-ton concrete figure of the legs of a reclining woman in a grassy lot between two churches in a quiet neighborhood in Henderson, N.C. The legs, bent at the knees, noticeably parted, and accompanied by landscaped foliage “strategically placed” (according to a report from WNCN-TV in Raleigh), are supposedly in tribute to Marilyn Monroe. Asked one neighbor, “Why do they (sic) just show the legs?” The project Sleeping With the Enemy, at the Jack the Pelican Presents gallery in Brooklyn, N.Y., involves two gay Israeli artists (Gil and Moti) who have recently dated dozens of local Arab men and who announced in May that they are ready to select one of them to seduce, with the idea that their tryst take place at the gallery as a statement on defusing ArabIsraeli hostilities. In May, at the annual spring auction at Christie’s in New York City, Massachusetts artist Tom Friedman managed to sell a piece consisting of an ink squiggle on a 12-by-18-inch piece of white paper (described in the Christie’s catalog as “starting an old dry pen on a piece of paper”). It was sold for $26,400, according to a Washington Post report. Friedman was less successful in offering a 2-foot white cube that contained, on one surface, a tiny speck of his own

Computer repairman Dennis Avner of Guatay, Calif., is perhaps the world’s most extreme variation of a “furrie” (a person who adopts the persona of an animal). Avner has tiger-stripe tattoos covering most of his body, dental implants sharpened to points to resemble tiger teeth, and metal-stud implants around his mouth to hold his long, plastic whiskers. He has had ear and lip surgery to make his head more cat-like and wears special contact lenses to make his eyes appear as ovals. He told the San Diego Union Tribune in May that Guatay folks are mostly tolerant of him but that he nonetheless has decided to relocate to Washington state.

China Flood Disaster Several areas of southern China were inundated with flash floods and landslides, bringing the death toll from summer floods to more than 200 people, mainly in Hunan province and neighboring Guizhou. The China Daily reported three people became infected with typhoid in the Hunan disaster zone, and waterborne disease has become a major threat. The number of people evacuated in Hunan rose to more than 100,000 as new floods destroyed houses in Anhua county. Weather forecasters have warned that flooding in areas around the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, which includes much of Hunan, is likely to worsen through mid-June.

Iberian Heat and Fire More than 500 firefighters in Portugal battled five separate forest fires raging across the parched country as temperatures soared to near record levels. Much of the Iberian Peninsula is in the grip of one of the worst droughts in decades, with many communities in Spain and Portugal already rationing water, or about to do so. About 100 firefighters fought to contain the largest fire burning near the central Portugal town of Matados, where temperatures reached 95 degrees Fahrenheit. But they were hampered by the availability of only two water-dropping helicopters for the entire country, with one pulled out of service for mechanical repairs.

Scientists in Britain say the country’s rare bumblebees could be facing extinction due to inbreeding that has changed industrious females into lazy males. Researchers from the University of Southampton discovered that isolated species on nature reserves up and down the country are breeding with relatives because they are trapped within areas of farmed land. A queen bee normally 3.9 spawns a large number of worker daughters. But if she mates with a relative, many of her offspring, which are genetically female, develop into sterile males. “Since male bumblebees do no work, and have only one purpose — mating — a sterile male is worse than useless,” said researcher Dave Goulson. At least four bumblebee species have become extinct in the past 50 years. Most surviving bees are confined to nature reserves, which isolate them from other members of their species.
A Rain of Frogs
Thousands of tiny frogs rained on a town in northwestern Serbia, according to a report in the Belgrade daily Blic. Storm clouds brought high winds over Odzaci, 75 miles northwest of Belgrade, but eyewitnesses said the tiny amphibians fell from the sky instead of rain. The frogs, different from those usually seen in the area, survived the fall and hopped around after their descent. Climatologist Slavisa Ignjatovic said the phenomenon was not that unusual. He told Blic, “A wind resembling a tornado can suck in anything light enough from the surface or shallow water.” ◗

Mary Morris, an Atlanta teenager, used her prepaid cellphone at least three times a day, especially to keep up with her boyfriend, who lives in Alabama; phones loaded with minutes can be bought off the shelf without showing an ID or signing up for a service contract
On average, 30 percent of minutes in a bucket are going unused, according to Entner. “In general, we are competitive up until about 500 minutes a month of usage,” says Virgin Mobile USA’s chief executive, Daniel Schulman. “After that, we become less competitive [against postpaid plans].” Prepaid plans also require that minutes be used within a specified period. The only way to roll over minutes to the next cycle is to buy more minutes. “When I have $5 left [in minutes], I usually get another ‘top up’ card at Target,” Mary Morris says. “It usually takes two weeks to a month to go through a $20 card.” Price comparisons among prepaid plans can be difficult. For example, some charge a daily fee whether a phone is used or not, in addition to the per-minute charge. Others assess the fee, usually a buck or less, only on the days the phone is used. Among the prepaid plans offered by Cingular and Verizon Wireless are those that compete head-on with Virgin Mobile, which is partly owned by Sprint, its service provider. Entner reckons the Cingular and Verizon Wireless offerings make more sense for people who consume more than 200 minutes a month, and who call a lot of people on either Cingular or Verizon. That’s because all calls to customers on the same network are free. While Virgin Mobile’s two plans don’t have that feature, they nevertheless are still attractive to less-frequent users, according to Entner. Virgin Mobile’s newest plan, with a once-a-day fee of 35 cents, plus 10 cents a minute, “makes particular sense for people who call more than 12 days a month and use between 150 and 200 minutes a month,” Entner calculates. The original Virgin Mobile plan — 25 cents for the first 10 minutes, and 10 cents a minute for the rest of the day — “makes sense for people with less than 12 days’ use per month and less than 150 minutes,” he says. Entner says the carriers will spend the next several months “watching developments in the market to see which plan is more attractive to customers.” But he doesn’t anticipate significant price-cutting. “If the traditional carriers cut their prepaid rates too much, then postpaid customers who closely watch their pennies might switch to prepaid,” the analyst says. ◗

WIRELESS COMPANIES, trolling for new subscribers, are aggressively promoting prepaid plans, hoping to snare individuals like Mary Morris, a ninthgrader in Norcross, Ga. Morris got a Virgin Mobile prepaid phone on her 14th birthday last August and now spends about half her monthly allowance buying more minutes to chat — and to send or receive text messages — at least three times a day. “I use it for emergencies or to get in touch with my boyfriend or my family,” says Morris, recalling one of the times when a mobile phone came in handy. Nearly 1 in 10 wireless users now use prepaid service. That figure is expected to grow to 1 in 4 by 2010, according to industry expert Roger Entner of the Ovum research and consulting firm. Prepaid plans are popular because they require no contract and no credit check, nor any identification to buy. Users can buy as little as $10 worth of minutes, or more. So it’s not surprising that two of the nation’s largest carriers, Cingular Wireless and Verizon Wireless, recently revamped their prepaid plans, making them more attractive. For example, Atlanta-based Cingular now allows customers to use prepaid services on any of its handsets, not just a few. And more of its GoPhone prepaid offerings now include unlimited calls at night, during weekends and between Cingular customers. Verizon Wireless offers prepaid customers similar unlimited calling perks as well. But it has just three phones available under its new INpulse prepaid plans. Those new offerings have prompted Virgin Mobile, one of the largest prepaid providers, to respond by introducing an additional pricing plan. Why the new marketing push? “The industry is running out of people who can pass a credit check,” Entner says. “That’s why the large wireless carriers that have previously expressed disdain for the prepaid segment have now found a new love.” Driving that is Wall Street’s focus on a key measure for the industry: subscriber additions. “Wall Street wants new subscribers and is less interested in profitability right now,” according to Entner. Prepaid customers — typically the very young, very old and those with poor or no credit history — spend less and are more apt to defect to other carriers, since they aren’t locked into a contract. Entner estimates the nation’s 17 million prepaid customers spent $27.12 a

The ever-humble, ever-insightful Malcolm Holcombe brings his brand of roots music to the Sentient Bean IT’S EASY TO GET A LITTLE LOST when speaking with Malcolm Holcombe. That’s because the guitarist has a knack for speaking in circles. Not to say that he doesn’t stay on topic or fails to make sense. On the contrary, he’s one of the most lucid and in-the-moment cats you’ll find. It’s just that – like most career poets and songwriters – his end of conversations can sometimes take on the characteristics of his songs themselves. The cadence, the sense of negative space, the inherent ebb and flow of his end of a phone interview or faceto-face chat – they’re all part and parcel with the idiosyncratic style in which he imparts the introspective lyrics of many of his best tunes. It’s at first a bit of an odd sensation to feel as though you’re eavesdropping on someone’s thought process. At times, it’s hard to know when Holcombe has finished his statements. Words trail off, hang in the air like dandelion spores, and sometimes come back into play when you least expect them. Awkward at times? Yes, but in the delightful and refreshing way that – to many of us – defines the notion of "good conversation." I first met Malcolm over the phone last year while interviewing him for this publication in advance of what would turn out to be his first visit to Savannah. At the time, he was appearing under the auspices of the Savannah Folk Music Society – a longstanding community organization that is slowly embracing the sort of new, fresh and highly personal acoustic tunesmithing that artists such as Holcombe have come to epitomize.
It’s a style informed by the roots music of old, drawing from the same “deeper well” as The Carter Family, Charlie Poole, Son House and others, and running through such latter-day
“melodic color commentary” to the world around him. As a star or celebrity, he fails rather nicely – he’s all but unknown outside songwriting circles and a small interna-
Malcolm Holcombe draws from music’s ‘deeper well’ innovators as Dylan, John Prine, David Olney, Billy Joe Shaver, Guy Clark, Suzanne Vega, Lucinda Williams, and Steve Earle (some of whom are both Malcolm’s friends and fans). Looking back further, it’s easy to trace its origins in the Celtic and British balladry that settlers to Appalachia brought with them hundreds of years ago. Holcombe knows well this lineage, even if its not something he’s conscious of. He’s an important link in the evolution (and preservation) of this tradition. A roving minstrel, adding his own unique
tional core of fanatic listeners and critics – but as a daring, captivating live performer and recording artist, he towers over others in his field, high profiles be damned. This doesn’t seem to phase him much, or at least if it does, he dismisses such talk with the kind of self-deprecating demeanor that suggests either a serious inferiority complex, or, more likely, an abiding faith in God and a deep resolve concerning his own place in the grand scheme of things. One theme that Holcombe returns to often in interviews, conversation and his
lyrics, is the concept that people should take immense pride in what they do. Not the sort of shameful pride of the vain or self-righteous, but the calm, centered peace that can only be acquired through a deep-seated sense of purpose, and an almost relentless work ethic. That ethic has served him well during the lean years and personal travails that have sometimes dogged this beautiful dreamer. Now, though, Holcombe seems to have turned a page in his illustrious, lowkey career. In late March, he released his latest album, I Never Heard You Knockin’. It’s a flat-out stunner that finds him in rare form as he tears through 11 songs in less than 45 minutes. Tracked quickly without muss or fuss, it’s nothing but Malcolm and his $100 guitar (he scoffs at folks who pay thousands of dollars for fine instruments, saying it’s much more important who’s holding it than where it was made), and it’s one of the more touching and intimate records of its kind that I’ve yet come across. “To call a spade a spade, it’s just a flat-top guitar and some songs,” Holcombe humbly notes. “It is what it is, man. It’s got no kind of fancy production on it. We tried to make it as real as possible.” It’s also his first completely independent release, available through his website (www.malcolmholcombe.com), and created without any record company interference – something that has famously thrown monkey wrenches into his commercial success in the past. “I own all the songs on this record except for one tune,” he says with a palpable sense of relief.

Malcolm spoke to us by phone from his home in the tiny town of Swannanoa, N.C., just outside of Asheville.
Connect Savannah: What are you up to this fine morning? Malcolm Holcombe: Drinkin’ coffee. Some people are coffee addicts, man. They’re strung out.
Connect Savannah: Are you one of them?
Malcolm Holcombe: Well, I bounce things off my wife. She’s my soul mate. She’s got true red blood in her inner ears from listening to Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt and a lot of the old blues guys like Mississippi John Hurt. She knows when it’s real and when it’s horseshit. She’s my “song checker.” She knows if it’s comin’ through solid and strong or if it’s a trite buncha crap.
Connect Savannah: So, in the past did you have somebody you could trust like that? Malcolm Holcombe: Shit, no! I thought I could, but it was a crapshoot and it always ended up snake eyes, man. It was a void. This is part of the design that a lot of people long for, and I’ve been
Malcolm Holcombe: I haven’t given it that kind of thought in depth. Sometimes on stage you get so deep into a song that you kinda dissolve away into the song itself… without getting’ too weird on you here. (laughs) It has to be true to your heart to pass it along. If I can roll around some thoughts between someone else’s ears, that’s all I can really hope for.
Connect Savannah: Listeners can think way more about these things than the writer. Malcolm Holcombe: That’s true. Good call. That’s just what I was thinking. There’s a lot of people that talk about this muse, you know? I don’t even know what a muse is! It’s Greek mythology, right? Some kinda horse with wings or something’? I don’t dig on that stuff. These things just happen. I’m just recounting my thoughts and opinions, and tryin’ not to be too wishy-washy. You get behind the wheel and do whatever you gotta do to make it on down the road. Stay focused and drive on! Some of this stuff today is so trite, and you know that as well as I do. You been around the block! You gotta listen to me and all these other clowns, jugglin’ balls.

Connect Savannah: On that subject, there’s only one song in the liner notes where the lyrics and the title are printed in all caps – “Doin’ His Job,” which openly references Jesus. Should I take anything away from that emphasis? Is that song the centerpiece of the album? Malcolm Holcombe: Yeah, that was a typo.
Connect Savannah: Are you kidding me? Malcolm Holcombe: No. I hate to blow your little observation. (laughs)
Connect Savannah: Well, I hadn’t made up my mind. That’s why I asked. Malcolm Holcombe: I guess I could’ve let that one slide, and said that’s how the stars all got in a row, but it’s just a typo, man. Down to earth, plain old mistake. ◗

Malcolm Holcombe: All except for one were done in the last year. I had a bag o’ tunes, and the time. You get’cha few rocks and eventually you make a wall, and then a structure. The record wound up being built under my nose, so to speak. These songs are representative of life as I’m seeing it and living it over the past 10 or 15 months.
Connect Savannah: Were you objective enough to produce it yourself?
Connect Savannah: This new CD is so raw it sounds like whispered advice.
Bottom line is, with the grace of the good Lord… God, Allah, Buddha, whatever you call that thing that’s within everybody. We’re a part of a whole. That’s what I believe. I guess I’m getting’ kinda far out on ya. (laughs)

Connect Savannah: When were the songs on this new CD written?
Malcolm Holcombe: Well, we kept hemhawing around with these record labels, and listening to people flap their jaws, you know? Our stomachs were growling. So me and my wife went into a local studio, got a couple of good microphones and a good vibe. It only took a couple takes of each song. You play ‘em more than 2 or 3 times and they just turn into… mush. You can beat a dead horse, but then you’re still stuck on the side of the road! (laughs)
blessed to have a little ray of sunshine and a drop of rain after a terrible search. You have to go through your own mortal hell, you know? (laughs)

Malcolm Holcombe: I don’t have to have it, but… Well, I guess my disposition improves, which means it still ain’t worth a shit. It keeps me out of jail. (laughs) That and my wife’s homemade potato salad. So we have little things we put in our bodies, because George W. Bush ain’t doin’ a damn thing for my mental health! I’m grabbin’ for straws, man!

Mandolinist Tony Williamson has become one of the most regular attractions at famed luthier Randy Wood’s 100-seat concert hall adjacent to his instrument factory and repair shop. Their friendship goes back decades, and it’s no wonder they get along: Randy makes some of the finest mandolins in the world, and Tony plays some of the finest mandolin music you’ll find anywhere on the globe (he recently oversaw the stupendous Mandolin Madness event at the 2005 Savannah Music Festival). When Tony’s not doing straight bluegrass shows, he’s guesting with symphonies on classical pieces, or blurring the lines between pop, jazz and blues with a variety of noted collaborators such as David Grisman and guitarist Tony Rice. For this show, he’ll be joined by his brother Gary, who recorded and toured with him for years. He’s an excellent guitarist in his own right, as well as a subtle, down-home comic in the tradition of many great bluegrass funnymen before him. Tickets for this family-oriented (no smoking, no alcohol) show are only $15 plus tax, and can be charged in advance. That’s highly recommended as this will likely sell out. Call 748-1930 for more info. Sat., 8 pm, Randy Wood’s Concert Hall (Bloomingdale) - ALL AGES.

The Frank Vignola Sextet This phenomenal fusion group is known for a challenging – and at times hypnotic – blend of gypsy swing, island grooves, the “high lonesome sound” of American acoustic roots music, and driving, soulful Latin rhythms straight from the golden ages of such pioneering rock groups as Santana and War. Their setlist is just as eclectic, and allows these masterful musicians to show off both their diverse taste and their considerable chops. They tear through inspired and inventive arrangements of everything from Hoagy Carmichael and Cole Porter standards to works by Mozart and The Doobie Brothers. The group honed its sound over a weekly Sunday night engagement at New York City’s Sweet Rhythm nightclub (a buzzworthy booking that wound up earning them a loyal legion of fans in that notoriously fickle town. The Frank & Joe Show (as it’s now called) features Ken Smith on rhythm guitar, Gary Mazzaroppi on bass, and Chuck Ferruggia and Rich Zukor on exotic percussion. It’s centered around the interplay between guitarist Vignola and percussionist Joe Ascione – both former child prodigies on their respective instruments. Vignola was crowned Grand National Banjo Champion of his native Canada by age 13, and has since gone on to record and play with everyone from Les Paul to Mark O’Connor. Similarly, Ascione has toured the world and appeared on over 60 albums, including two of his own, one of which was a tribute to the late, great trap drummer Buddy Rich (for whom Ascione actually roadied as a teen). The two have played together regularly since 1989, and it shows. They are known for having an almost telepathic sense of each other’s music intuition. This tour finds them playing everywhere from this small and cozy nightclub (in Savannah’s posh new luxury hotel) to the Elkhart, Indiana Jazz Festival and the Red Rocks Roots Festival with Alison Krause. Their latest album was produced by the jazz recording legend Joel Dorn, who - over the past few decades – has helmed far too many benchmark albums by the likes of Bette Midler, Leon Redbone and Yusef Lateef to easily count. Once more, with this no-cover performance by one of New York’s hottest ensembles, The Mansion is defining itself as one of the premiere venues for top-shelf, adult-oriented live music in town. Thurs., 8 pm, The Mansion on Forsyth Park.

Ryan Montbleau It’s only been about 9 months since this young singer/songwriter sold out Boston’s 600-seat Paradise Rock Club, and reportedly left 200 people stranded outside waiting for tickets. No word on whether this was a fluke or not, but either way, the 27-year-old guitarist is definitely on a roll. A self-acknowledged late bloomer to the world of live performance, he got his start belting out cover tunes at a TGI Friday’s, but now fronts a 6piece band featuring a keyboard player (clavinet, Fender Rhodes), a tenor saxman who doubles on bass clarinet and percussion, and a violist. Gaining respect from fellow players for his dexterity and inventive fingerpicking style which owes a lot to both the mesmerizing counterpoint of Leo Kottke and the seductively percussive slap-andtickle of Ani DiFranco, he’s also struck a chord with average listeners with his expressive, bedroom vocal approach that’s constantly likened to middle-period Stevie Wonder and late-’70s Paul Simon (just ponder that for a minute...). Whether it’s the subtle gospel influence, the subdued funk influence in his phrasing which avoids most of the usual honky clichés, or the easy-to-imagine future as the logical extension of John Mayer’s fanbase – Montbleau has it all, in spades. Wed., JJ Cagney’s. ◗

around since 1985. They were wine before wine was cool, but unfortunately they’ve neglected quality. The wine hasn’t even reached “good� status. But don’t judge all Georgia wineries by the fancy pants places. Three Sisters, Habersham and Tiger Mountain wineries are making some shockingly good stuff. I’m less impressed with the whites than the reds, but put your mouth around some Tiger Mountain Vineyards Touriga Nacional, and you’ll never, ever believe you’re drinking Georgia juice. Florida wineries, although many make wines from juice trucked in from California, grow “hybrid� grapes that have been specially engineered at the University of Florida, or play with the muscadine, a grape native to Florida. St. Augustine’s San Sebastian Winery and Central Florida’s Lakeridge Winery produce decent Muscadine grape wine, both red and white. Other Florida wineries get creative with the fruits that the state is famous for: strawberries, oranges and grapefruit. ◗

Chardonnay, etc. — and appear free from the bugs that kill vines in the South, specifically the glassy-winged sharp shooter that thrives in lower elevations. Florida can only successfully grow Muscadine and hybrid grapes. Why? Because it’s flat and just about every living thing wilts during the summer. Other than Virginia, North Carolina is the most active wine-growing state in the Southeast, with over 45 wineries. Yadkin Valley, the newly established AVA (American Viticultural Area) in the central part of the state, has grown ten-fold in the past three years. Dusty Rhodes, of Total Wine and More wine shop in Charlotte, said, “The new AVA has made a huge difference in the legitimacy of the area,� making North Carolina wineries and wine sales grow. The state’s best selling wineries are Shelton Vineyards, Rockhouse, Childress Vineyards and Westbend — all of which grow the familiar varietals. Georgia has a few “resort� wineries, focusing more on the luxurious lifestyle surrounding the wine rather than the juice itself. Chateau Elan, an enormous estate just north of Atlanta, has been

YOU HEAR ABOUT GEORGIA PEACHES, Florida citrus and Carolina tobacco, but wine doesn’t often pop up. In fact, most wine snobs wretch from the thought of drinking the juice from these parts. I was definitely a card-carrying member of Club Negative, but things have changed. In the past three years, the Southeastern wine scene has drastically improved, making damn drinkable wine using grapes we’ve heard of, those we haven’t, and “alternative� sources like oranges and strawberries. Laughing, are you? Don’t knock it ‘til you try it. In the past two weeks, I’ve gorged on a refreshing poolside-worthy wine made from grapefruit, a really awesome port made from strawberries and a deliciously elegant Touriga Nacional, the principal grape in port wine. Its quality made my jaw drop. Parts of the Georgia and North Carolina foothills have climates cool enough to ripen the famous Vitis Vinifera grapes — Cabernet Sauvignon,

FILM|
by Matt Brunson
THE HONEYMOONERS ✰1/2
The classic 1950s TV sitcom gets refitted for a 21st century big-screen excursion, but unfortunately, it’s the audience who gets it right in the kisser. This film has so few connective threads with the original that it’s clear Paramount simply awarded the title to the highest bidder -- for all we know, the makers of other recent Paramount releases like Sahara, Coach Carter and The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie might have wanted to attach the moniker to their respective projects had they simply been able to raise enough cash to secure the rights. We do get an irascible bus driver named Ralph Kramden and his dim-witted friend Ed Norton, played here by Cedric the Entertainer and Mike Epps. The plot centers around their efforts to raise enough money to place a down payment on a duplex coveted by their wives (Gabrielle Union and Regina Hall); to make that dream a reality, Ralph invests their savings in dubious schemes involving an abandoned train car and an abandoned mutt. One character makes a crack about The WB, which in all honesty is where this feeble film belongs. Nothing about it screams, “motion picture”; instead, its feeble jokes and rudimentary acting would make it right at home smack in the middle of a primetime sit-com lineup. On the plus side, John Leguizamo is a hoot as a motor-mouthed hustler, and there’s one funny line about the “Shah of Argentina.” On the puzzling side, there’s a curious bit in which people keep mistaking our African-American protagonists for Chinese musicians (say what?). Forget Gleason’s “To the moon, Alice” catchphrase: “To the video bargain bin” is more like it.
MR. AND MRS. SMITH ✰✰1/2
Based on the countless scenes in which Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie strip down to their undergarments, it’s clear that there isn’t an ounce of flab on either of those beautiful bodies -- it’s just too bad the same can’t be said about the film itself. Sorry, Ms. Aniston, but Brad and Angelina make a hot on-screen couple, and they gleefully throw themselves into this chaotic action flick in which the sharp dialogue too often gets drowned out by the incessant explosions and automatic weapon fire. The People Magazine perennials play John and Jane Smith, a suburban couple who have grown bored with each other over the six years they’ve been married. But what they don’t realize is that they’re both skilled assassins working for competing agencies; once this tidbit of information becomes known to both parties, each is suddenly forced to try to kill the other. Mr. and Mrs. Smith begins promisingly, with Simon Kinberg contributing a script that’s full of wry observations about the level of secrecy that’s inherent in most marriages, and how the stakes might be raised exponentially when the spousal subterfuge occurs
between people who kill for a living. But the movie’s pacing is damaged by Doug Liman’s occasionally lackadaisical direction (a problem it shares with his The Bourne Identity), and once the emphasis shifts from the characters to the hardware they employ, it becomes just another noisy spectacle that cops out with a crowd-friendly ending (instead of the more downbeat finale that would logically follow the climactic set piece).
LORDS OF DOGTOWN ✰✰
Disclaimer Department: I had never given even a fraction of a thought to the skateboard culture, yet for the 90 minutes I recently spent watching 2002’s Dogtown and Z-Boys, I was mesmerized. Directed by former Z-Boy Stacy Peralta, this smashing documentary chronicles the rise of the Venice, CA, teens who almost single-handedly revived skateboarding as a national phenomenon thanks to their radical reinterpretation of the sport during the 1970s. Now, Peralta has penned a Hollywood account of the ZBoys, yet the resultant film fails to capture anything beyond random surface pleasures. In the documentary, it’s clear that Jay Adams and Tony Alva were not only the sports’ media celebrities but also the best skateboarders. In this film, Adams (played by Emile Hirsch) and Alva (Victor Rasuk) are prominently featured, but so is Peralta (John Robinson) -- the other members of the Zephyr Team are no more than blurs in the background. Lords of Dogtown is well acted (especially by Heath Ledger as the group’s stoner-mentor), and Hardwicke ably recreates a specific time and place. Yet the movie rarely conveys the import of what these lower-income kids accomplished: As depicted here, their cultural revolution seems no more noteworthy than a day spent at the mall.
THE LONGEST YARD ✰✰
Imagine, if you will, Adam Sandler in the Burt Reynolds role of the macho outdoorsman in Deliverance. Impossible, right? Yet it really isn’t that much easier to accept Sandler in Reynolds’ old role of football-star-turned-convict Paul “Wrecking” Crewe in the remake of The Longest Yard. Reynolds, himself a college gridiron star until an injury forced an alternate career path, excelled in this sort of testosterone-soaked, R-rated fare. Sandler, on the other hand, is squishysoft in that unmistakable Hollywood manner -- he looks less like an a-hole athlete who could tough it out in a Texas prison than an eager-to-please Improv regular who somehow ended up in a Universal Studios tour backlot simulation of a Texas prison. Faithfulness to director Robert Aldrich’s hard-hitting 1974 flick, in which Crewe leads a ragtag group of convicts in a football match against the sadistic guards, isn’t the problem: Major plot points are kept intact, snatches of dialogue find themselves lifted wholesale by scripter Sheldon Turner, and even characters’ fates remain the same. But
29 when this version does deviate from its source material, the results are disastrous -- and all but kill any chance the film had in maintaining its modest pleasures. The homophobia rampaging through this film is astonishing. I don’t know if Sandler was repeatedly sodomized in the locker room during his high school years, but he clearly has issues to work through.
we're privy to the climactic battle between Obi-Wan and Anakin, the fateful duel that will lead directly to the birth of Darth Vader. For the first time since, well, 1977, Lucas seems completely in control of his craft, and these sequences resonate beyond the screen.
CINDERELLA MAN ✰✰✰
Clearly, DreamWorks’ animation division doesn’t rely on sentiment as heavily as Disney, preferring instead to come across as the hippest cel block in town. But more than just about any other recent toon flick, Madagascar strikes an appropriate balance between Disney and nonDisney, being neither too sudsy nor too smart-alecky. The animal quartet at the center of Madagascar is comprised of the narcissistic lion Alex (Ben Stiller), the affable zebra Marty (Chris Rock), the commonsensical hippo Gloria (Jada Pinkett Smith) and the hypochondriac giraffe Melman (David Schwimmer). All are living in peaceful contentment at New York’s Central Park Zoo, satisfied with their meals, living quarters and celebrity status with the zoo’s visitors. But on his 10th birthday, Marty begins to question not only his lot in life but his very being. Is he black with white stripes, or white with black stripes?
Mirroring the less skilled dancers who can be found among its subjects, Mad Hot Ballroom may not be the most graceful documentary to make the recent rounds, but damn if it isn’t bursting with pride and passion. In much the same manner as the superior Spellbound, this film centers on several groups of kids who, as students enrolled in the NYC public school system’s ballroom dancing classes, hope to find themselves competing in the city’s annual ballroom tournament. This is yet one more nonfiction film that ably extols the transformative power of the arts and its ability to allow individuals to discover the best within themselves. But the movie also goes beyond that: It captures the palpable love that teachers can feel for their students, and, most intriguingly, it hangs out with these 10- and 11-year-olds as they chat in that unaffected manner as only kids can.
THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS ✰✰✰
Ann Brashares’ best-selling book among female readers has been transformed into a luminescent motion picture for anyone interested in an emotional high. Worthy of snagging viewers outside its expected
target audience, Sisterhood hurtles over most its shortcomings by adding a layer of toughness not usually found in films aimed at teens. As they prepare to go their separate ways for the summer, four high school friends stumble across a pair of jeans that miraculously fits all of them. They quickly decide that the pants will be passed among them throughout the summer, as a way of staying in touch over long distances. Brainy Carmen (America Ferrera) will be spending the summer with her neglectful dad (Bradley Whitford); shy Lena (Alexis Bledel) will pass the time with distant relatives in Greece; sexy Bridget (Blake Lively) will hunt for boys while attending a soccer camp in Mexico; and antisocial Tibby (Amber Tamblyn) will remain in town trying to complete her documentary.
STAR WARS: EPISODE III -REVENGE OF THE SITH ✰✰1/2
George Lucas has declared that this is the darkest film in the series (certainly, The Empire Strikes Back is the only chapter that compares), and the MPAA obviously agreed by pasting the movie with a PG-13 rating instead of the usual PG. It's here that we witness the final transformation of Anakin Skywalker
(Hayden Christensen) from a young idealist who's been tagged as the "Chosen One" by the Jedi Council to an agent of evil for the power-hungry lords of the Sith. Despite efforts by his wife Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman) and his mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) to keep him from turning to the dark side of the Force, Anakin instead chooses to follow the advice of the nefarious Emperor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid), a megalomaniac determined to decimate his political opponents and establish his own insidious, fascistic government. (If that sounds suspiciously like America 2005 as opposed to a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, be aware that Lucas includes plenty of topical parallels.) Bluntly speaking, the opening acts of Revenge of the Sith are dreadful, until something inspiring occurs: The mythology takes over. As Lucas rounds the final curves, he begins to focus on the elements of the story that directly tie into events first recorded in the original Star Wars flick back in '77. We see how the Jedi knights are exterminated with extreme prejudice, with only Ben Kenobi and the Jedi Muppet Yoda left to hoist the flag for the old guard; we witness the births of twins Luke and Leia, and note how they're shuttled off to different corners of the galaxy; and, of course,
KICKING & SCREAMING ✰✰1/2
Will Ferrell ably tackles his most complete role to date: Phil Weston, a wimpy husband and father whose entire life has been spent in the shadow of his ultracompetitive dad Buck (Robert Duvall), a bullying jock who also happens to be the coach of the vicinity’s best boys’ soccer team. After his own son gets traded by Buck to the worst team in the league, Phil takes it upon himself to become the ragtag outfit’s new coach; he enlists exChicago Bears coach Mike Ditka (playing himself) as his assistant, learns that coffee can provide a person with unlimited amounts of energy, and eventually becomes just as dictatorial on the field as his old man. What elevates the movie is Ferrell himself: While his patented shtick can grow tiresome, here it’s in the service of an actual character, and that seems to make the difference.
KINGDOM OF HEAVEN✰✰
Set during the Crusades, this dutiful slog through revisionist history stars Orlando Bloom as Balian, a tormented blacksmith (his wife committed suicide after the death of their child) who learns that his father (Liam Neeson) is a revered knight and decides to accompany him to Jerusalem. There, he finds himself in the middle of a growing feud between the Christians and the Muslims, both of whom lay claim to the holy city. Comparisons to recent sword flicks like Troy and Scott’s Gladiator are natural, but despite the lofty ambitions of William Monahan’s literate yet arid script, such contrasts do this movie no favors. ◗

✰✰✰
Director Christopher Nolan, who immediately established himself with the crackerjack crime gems Memento and Insomnia, has made another movie in which thought often speaks louder than either action or words. Fear is the motivating factor for almost every character, starting with young Bruce Wayne. As he grows older and notes how his hometown of Gotham City continues to degenerate into a cesspool of crime and corruption (something his father fought hard to change), Bruce (now played by Christian Bale) embarks on an international odyssey, hoping to learn all about the inner workings of the criminal mind. This journey eventually lands him in the company of Henri Ducard (Liam Neeson) and Ra’s al Ghul (The Last Samurai’s Ken Watanabe), two powerful figures who run The League of Shadows, a vigilante group bent on wiping out evil wherever it exists. Having finally conquered his fear of bats, Bruce decides that this creature of the night will become his symbol as he battles his burg’s evildoers. He has always been able to count on the services of the family butler Alfred (Michael Caine), yet he also finds allies in Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman), an inventor who works for Wayne Enterprises, and detective Jim Gordon, seemingly the only honest cop left in Gotham (it’s nice to see perennial villain Gary Oldman cast in this sympathetic role). More ambiguous in her support is assistant d.a. Rachel Dawes (Katie Holmes), who views Bruce Wayne as a shallow billionaire and Batman as a potentially dangerous vigilante. Yet even she would concede that the Caped Crusader’s preferable to Carmine Falcone (Tom Wilkinson), the city’s leading crime boss, or Dr. Jonathan Crane (Cillian Murphy), a twisted psychiatrist who also operates under the guise of The Scarecrow. The Scarecrow? Ra’s al Ghul? These are second-tier Batman villains, with none of the marquee value of, say, The Joker or Catwoman. Yet by kicking off his series with these lower profile baddies, Nolan has immediately made it clear that he won’t kowtow to anyone or anything, least of all commercial expectations. Nolan’s dedication appears to have rubbed off on his cast members, all of whom deliver deeply committed perform-

MAD HOT BALLROOM
BATMAN BEGINS ✰✰✰1/2
Connect Savannah
Ron Howard can finally breathe easy. No filmmaker in his right mind would want his boxing picture to be released a scant few months after Million Dollar Baby cleaned up at the Oscars and at the box office. But Cinderella Man is so structurally and tonally different from Clint Eastwood’s masterwork that it might as well be about jai alai, considering how little the two films will be compared to each other. This one never touches greatness like Clint’s Baby, but it’s a sturdy film on its own terms, relating the real-life story of pugilist James J. Braddock (Russell Crowe), a once-successful boxer whose career took a nose dive about the same time as the stock market at the onset of the Great Depression. Considered past his prime and barely able to provide for his wife (Renee Zellweger) and kids by snagging occasional work on the docks, Braddock finds himself on an unlikely comeback trail as a one-time gig inside the ring turns into a late-career flourishing. Crowe’s touching portrayal is instrumental in recruiting the audience’s sympathies from the get-go (and look for excellent support by Sideways’ Paul Giamatti as Braddock’s manager-friend).

Mars transits Aries from June 12 to July 28, 2005. Many shameless barbarians whose only familiarity with William Shakespeare lies in various misquotations of the sentiment, “Kill all the lawyers!” nevertheless have very active lawyers on their own payrolls – although they sometimes refer to these lawyers as “mouthpieces.” Of course, if such barbarians had tried to do something creative, beautiful, unique, edifying & harmless, of their own individual initiative, they would have good reason to complain if lawyers ARIES - While there is nothing inherently wrong with working with your allies behind the scenes on a secret agenda, Mars in Aries worries that somebody, somewhere is lying about the ultimate goal of your current endeavor. The specter of “plausible deniability” infers that something is wrong. Heed vague intimations of a nagging conscience. TAURUS - If you are prone to expressing your political opinion not only in public but especially on television, then Mars in Aries recommends that you take pains to change your appearance on a regular basis. Women: experiment with various hair styles & colors. Men: experiment with different haircuts, mustaches & beards. Everybody: wear more, and different styles of, hats. GEMINI - Mars in Aries applauds your ability to communicate veiled yet explosive political opinions using the technical language of the military specialist, spy or astrologer. Further compartmentalize your message not only so that its component parts are invisible, but also so that the uninitiated can understand the message “on the surface.” CANCER - As long as you have not betrayed any loyalties, Mars in Aries
absolves you from accusations leveled at you, not only by bosses, but also by family members & fellow citizens. True: relentless political, military & corporate treachery now infects everybody’s dayto-day life – but anybody who can rectify what is wrong with the world must now put themselves in very precarious positions in order to do so. Therefore, shrug off those who will not tolerate those who suffer the shadow of various shades of gray. LEO - Mars in Aries denotes that the complications stemming from the political ambitions of partners & the legal issues of associates are intertwined, complex, and, often, convoluted. Therefore, rely upon partners who analyze details rather than those who act upon instinct. VIRGO - While you should not hesitate to go to City Hall with other citizens & lawyers to ask elected officials some pointed questions about property or tax concerns, Mars in Aries warns the savvy Virgoan that one who calls you an ally is really a saboteur. Anticipate how a cunning strategist would try to divert the flow of inquiries from the main issue. Be prepared to pivot back to what concerns you & yours without seeming abrupt.
thwarted their ambitions. However, the more entrenched such barbarians are, economically as well as politically, the more likely it is that they are trying their best to fool or to circumvent vested legislative bodies – similar not only to FDR during the buildup of arms & munitions in the late Thirties previous to Pearl Harbor, but also to Oliver North’s role in Iran-Contra in the early Eighties.
LIBRA - Only you really know how aggressively partners now help you or enemies now undermine you under the current influence of Mars in Aries. Most colleagues will be blinded by institutional minutiae – but you won’t be fooled. Cooperate with brave allies. Endeavor to outmaneuver unscrupulous enemies. SCORPIO - Citizens of your city are trying to communicate to you the machinations of your hidden rivals so that you won’t try to fight your own battles alone. However, Mars in Aries signifies that your ability to hear their messages depends upon, in great measure, if you were born there, how long you have lived there, how well your family knows these fellow citizens and how much you trust other people. Align yourself with your natural infrastructure. SAGITTARIUS - Mars in Aries dares you to write several episodes of a new TV sitcom that bears an eerie similarity to the Sixties satiric spy sitcom Get Smart. Reinforce that espionage agents can be silly (Maxwell Smart), sexy (Agent 99) – or just plain ludicrous. Teach overburdened citizens not to take the police state so seriously! CAPRICORN - Whether you own property or you rent your apartment, you
still must coordinate all of your assets & all of your communication with all members of your family. Mars in Aries warns that the treacheries of local politics will now accelerate. Such strategic regrouping is not just a “circle the wagons” exercise – it is a necessary step in ensuring the survival of your bloodline. AQUARIUS - Under the current influence of Mars in Aries, you, more than most, will be able to shoot straight from the hip. Now that you’ve learned how to incorporate into the infrastructure has been imposed upon your freedom for the past seven years, you can walk down the street singing, “I’ve got a secret,” and nobody will bother you – in fact, the really weak will probably run away. Use this privilege sparingly & strategically. PISCES - Mars in Aries intuits that adversaries, rivals & disloyal partners are addicted to face-to-face confrontations with you because they are toxic with spite. That is just all too unpleasant. To get what you want, communicate with any & all who can deliver casual yet clear messages to those remote moversand-shakers who equally abhor such antisocial behavior. Assert what you want & need as you simultaneously release all control. ◗

NO TAX FOR YOU! How would you like to sell your property and not pay any capital gains tax on the profit? Sounds like a shady deal, but the IRS created a procedure for you to do just that. It’s called a “1031 Tax-Deferred Exchange,” and many people have never heard of it. But even small investors with just one property can take advantage of its benefits.
Rhondda Netherton Mobile: rhonddanetherton@aol com Rhonddane@comcast net
www mopper stapen com info@mopper stapen com
In the most basic of terms, a 1031 exchange allows investors to defer their capital gains tax if they exchange for or purchase another “like kind” property within a certain amount of time. The provision for “like kind” real estate is pretty broad, allowing for the exchange of land, rentals, or business properties as investments or rentals.
The lackluster performance of the stock market in recent times has inspired interest in real estate as an asset, so more investors and realty professionals are learning about these 1031s. Taking proceeds from your sale and putting them into something like bonds hits you with taxes that put a big dent in your returns. Putting your money into another property as your investment defers the tax burden. Of course, any real estate agent assisting with the transaction would also be working with tax advisers, attorneys and intermediaries to guarantee that all the nuances of the tax code are fully complied with, and that you are completely satisfied with your exchange.
