Story
by Linda Sickler
e a S change l k w i t h s ev e r a l filmm A ta
It’s something we all learned in elementary school -- about 75 percent of the earth’s surface is covered by water. The oceans are majestic, powerful, awesome, yet frighteningly fragile. If they fail, the land masses scattered between them are doomed. That’s one of the reasons the Gray’s Reef Ocean Film Festival was started in 2004. As the films show audiences what is happening to our oceans -- both good and bad -- it is hoped it will foster a sense of ocean stewardship and inspire us to protect and restore this most precious resource. This year’s film festival has been expanded to celebrate not only the 25th anniversary of Gray’s Reef, but also to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Sapelo Island Estuarine Research Reserve. The festival will be held Sept. 22, 23 and 24 at Trustees Theater in Savannah, with an added night on Sept. 30 at the Ritz Theatre in Brunswick. In addition, a film festival for children, Children’s Films Celebrate the Ocean, will be held Sept. 23 and 24 at the Tybee Island Marine Science Center. For more information and a full schedule of screenings and events, visit www.graysreef.noaa.gov/. All screenings are free, but it’s recommended that tickets for the evening programs be picked up ahead of time at the Trustees Theater box office. For ticket information, call 525-5050. In addition to films, filmmakers and oceanographers will be discussing their work and other topics. Connect Savannah recently caught up with four festival participants to talk with them about documentaries, film festivals and their own work. Roger Payne has traveled the world to study its largest inhabitants --the whales. Along the way, his contributions to marine science have earned him many honors, including a knighthood in the Netherlands. With Scott McVay, Payne made the startling discovery that humpback whales sing, and he is famous for his theory that the sounds of blue and fin whales can be heard across oceans. Throughout his career, Payne has led more than 100 expeditions to study every large whale species in the wild. Payne founded an organization called Ocean Alliance in 1980, which just finished a five-year voyage to collect skin samples from more than 900 sperm whales to see how much damage has been done to the oceans by chemicals.

before my eyes. Many whales get captured in fishing gear. That’s responsible for tens if not thousands of deaths of whales every year. Connect Savannah: What about pollution?
Roger Payne and Lisa Harrow One of Payne’s largest research projects is a study in Argentina that monitors more than 1,700 individually identified right whales. Payne is married to the actress Lisa Harrow. She was born in New Zealand and studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. After joining the Royal Shakespeare Company, Harrow played leading roles opposite actors such as John Gielgud, Anthony Hopkins, John Hurt, Jeremy Irons, Peter O’Toole and many others. She will join her husband on stage at the film festival to present their program Sea Change -- Reversing the Tide on Saturday, Sept. 23 at 7 p.m. at Trustees Theater. We caught up with Payne as he was preparing for the trip to Savannah.
Connect Savannah: Isn’t this a dangerous field?
Connect Savannah: Did you grow up wanting to be a biologist?
Roger Payne: We collect small samples from sperm whales, which requires permits in every country. We also have to have permits to ship between countries.
Roger Payne: I was someone who lived in New York City. I didn’t see any animals, except for cats, dogs and rats. But I was fascinated with the wilderness and all kinds of wildlife. I started getting out whenever I could. Connect Savannah: You started your career by studying echolocation by bats and owls. Why the change to whales? Roger Payne: I felt all along I was just entertaining myself. I wanted to do something more interesting and something that would have an effect for the better. I began to look at species that were threatened. I realized whales were animals who needed a huge amount of help.
Roger Payne: It’s not dangerous at all. The ocean is dangerous. If you pay attention and do what others have done, it’s not dangerous to study whales. Connect Savannah: What kinds of challenges do whale researchers face? Roger Payne: The greatest problem is getting around the people who get in the way. Getting permits and funding for research is a major, major problem. Connect Savannah: What kind of permits are required to study whales?
Connect Savannah: Has the status of whales improved at all since you began studying them? Roger Payne: It has improved in some ways. When I first started studying whales, there were 33,000 whales being killed every year. That’s down to 330 per year. Connect Savannah: I know that the number of whales killed commercially is way down, but are there other dangers for whales? Roger Payne: There are other threats. I’m watching my life’s work being dismantled
Roger Payne: Pollutants are a major threat. As humans, we are responsible for putting poisons into the ocean. We’re doing it through carelessness. Through our study in Argentina, we’ve gotten samples from 960 sperm whales. The preliminary analysis indicates there are some appalling problems with pollutants in the sea. These poisons are unremovable. We have all kinds of poisons going into the ocean. It’s an appalling problem that we must pay attention to. So far, it’s wildly exceeding my worst fears. Connect Savannah: So there’s no hope at all? Roger Payne: It could be partly reversed. We could prevent further pollutants and poisons from going into our seas. One of the problems is that the oceans are downhill from everything. Everything ends up in the ocean. We have to get people seriously concerned. Once people realize what the problems they won’t stand for it. And when people understand what the problem is, they move fast. Connect Savannah: You and Scott McVay are credited with the discover that humpback whales sing. Was this something you had suspected all along? Roger Payne: Not in the least. It had never crossed my mind. A friend of mine had been recording ship noises for the government. At the same time, he often heard whales. He gave me some of his recordings, and there was one I listened to for more than a year. Over time, I realized that the whales were repeating themselves. When an animal repeats itself in a rhythmic way, you say it’s singing, whether it’s a cricket, frog or whale. It turns out some whales sounds are very beautiful to human ears. Some respond by weeping. It is very profound and moving. Connect Savannah: What is the Ocean Alliance, and why did you found it?
Roger Payne: The Ocean Alliance is only interested in whales and the environment. We promote the study of whales through public education. We make a lot of films.

of people who are working in the industry. Third, the American dollar is stronger in Canada, so filmmakers get more for their money. We also have very good film schools. Connect Savannah: What do you hope the audience will take away from your film? Ezra Soiferman: I think locals will enjoy my story of a tiny fishing village in Quebec and their struggle to survive. It will help raise awareness of the problems faced by fishermen in Georgia. w
A scene from Cod Help Us Connect Savannah: I understand you’re studying right whales.
Connect Savannah: What will you be doing at the film festival? Roger Payne: I will show a film and there is a program I do with my wife, who is a marvelous actress. We do a performance that is a combination of science and poetry. I handle the science, while she does the poetry. That’s the evening entertainment for Saturday night. Connect Savannah: Why do the two of you do these performances? Roger Payne: This whole effort is to bring the world to various problems that humanity faces and the real hope that we can do something about them. The problems humanity faces are solvable, and the solutions are simple. The science is strong enough to get started. w
At the age of 34, Eric Soiferman has produced and director many documentary films and series. A graduate of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, Soiferman is based in Montreal. On Sept. 24 at 7 p.m., he will present his film Cod Help Us, the story of the residents of a tiny, isolated Quebec village whose only commercial industry, commercial fishing, is threatened. Connect Savannah: Are you looking forward to the film festival? Ezra Soiferman: I’m excited to come down to Savannah. I drove through town once. I was driving from Florida to Montreal. Connect Savannah: Why did you become a filmmaker? Ezra Soiferman: The desire to share some
Connect Savannah: Tell me about your work. Ezra Soiferman: I’ve made films about restaurants, about the environment, about animals, specifically working dogs. I’ve also made films about medical marijuana, senior citizens -- I’ve always had kind of a quirky fascination with things. Connect Savannah: What inspires you? Ezra Soiferman: I’m continually coming up with new ideas. I write them down very carefully. When I’m searching for ideas, I go back to the list. There definitely is no shortage of ideas. Connect Savannah: Tell me about Montreal Film Group. Ezra Soiferman: Montreal Film Group is a collective of more than 400 filmmakers. I’m the co-director and co-founder. We have events to bring members together and a very active web site. Connect Savannah: Why did you found the group? Ezra Soiferman: We felt people were off doing things in their own =bubbles and weren’t coming together often enough. Montreal has a strong television and film community, but we felt it was too diffuse. This has really gone over very well. The membership has grown from 50 to 700 since we’ve launched our web site. Connect Savannah: Why is Montreal so popular with filmmakers? Ezra Soiferman: It’s a beautiful city that offers a lot of great locations. Second, we have very skilled crews. There are actors, camera people. Documentary filmmaking is part of the fabric. Montreal has a lot
Connect Savannah: Why the giant squid? Kevin McCarey: They’ve never been seen in the wild. They are responsible for many of our oldest sea legends. The giant squid was the legendary Kraken. Mariners were terrified of them. Connect Savannah: If they’ve never been seen in the wild, how do we know they exist? Kevin McCarey: They’ve been captured by fishermen, but by the time they haul them up, they’re already dead. The carcasses sometimes wash up on shore. There in an incredible account of one that actually attacked a fisherman in a small boat in the 19th century. Giant squids are mentioned in Jules Verne’s great 10,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Connect Savannah: What are you working on now?
Connect Savannah: Is it true that you taught at the Savannah College of Art and Design? Kevin McCarey: I taught two quarters this past year.
Kevin McCarey
Connect Savannah: You consider yourself a writer as well as a director. Kevin McCarey: I had originally worked as an oceanographer for a number of years. While I was at sea, there was not much to do out there, so I started writing. Connect Savannah: What types of writing have you done? Kevin McCarey: I had a couple of plays produced. I decided to go back to school. I was originally going to study creative writing, but with my background in marine science, I was asked, why not try film school for my undergraduate studies? Connect Savannah: And discovered you had quite a talent for filmmaking. Kevin McCarey: I got hired pretty much out of grad school and worked at Ted Turner’s TBS. I did a lot of work for the National Geographic. I was able to combine the love I have for the oceans and marine science. Connect Savannah: What will you be presenting at the film festival? Kevin McCarey: The film is Sea Monsters. It is mostly about the giant squid. It about how we used cameras to attract sperm
Kevin McCarey: I’m working on a film about something that really happened in the Great Lakes in 1913, a storm called the White Hurricane. It sank many ships and killed hundreds and hundreds of sailors. I have another film on Teddy Roosevelt’s expedition down the Amazon River that I’m also working on.
Connect Savannah: Did you grow up near the ocean? Kevin McCarey: I grew up in the Hudson Valley in New York. We had the “ghost fleet,” big old ocean ships from World War II anchored nearby. They fascinated me. Later on, I went into the Merchant Marine. Connect Savannah: I see that Keenan Smart of the National Geographic is coming with you to appear at the festival. Kevin McCarey: I think the whole concept of the film festival is wonderful. All of us at National Geographic are glad to be part of it. w The Gray’s Reef Ocean Film Festival will be held Sept. 22, 23 and 24 at Trustees Theater in Savannah, with an added night on Sept. 30 at the Ritz Theatre in Brunswick. In addition, a film festival for children, Children’s Films Celebrate the Ocean, will be held Sept. 23 and 24 at the Tybee Island Marine Science Center.

Kevin McCarey worked as an oceanographer before becoming an award-winning filmmaker. He has worked on several National Geographic Specials, including Seamonsters: Search for the Giant Squid, which he will present Sept. 22 at 7 p.m. at the film festival. In 2003, McCarey won an Emmy for Best Science/Nature documentary for his National Geographic Television special Wolf Pack.

Most people are pretty sure they know what the word “peace” means. But Mike Freeman, chaplain at Union Mission and a speaker at this year’s International Peace Day, feels that “peace is not only the absence of war, but also the presence of justice.” In 1981 the U.N. General Assembly established Sept. 21 as the official date for the International Day of Peace, saying the purpose is “to devote a specific time to concentrate the efforts of the United Nations and its Member States, as well as of the whole of mankind, to promoting the ideals of peace and to giving positive evidence of their commitment to peace in all viable ways.” This year marks the second annual celebration of International Peace Day in Savannah, which will be just one of many cities and communities in the world celebrating this day. Many civil society and religious groups use this internationally recognized day to promote the ideals of peace and non-violence around the world. Though officially recognized this Thursday, discussions of peace begin with a talk entitled, “Pilgrimage to Reconciliation,” presented by Father Bob Cushing on Wednesday, Sept. 20 at the Catholic Pastoral Center, 601 E. Liberty St. at 7 p.m. While adopted over twenty years ago, it’s interesting, as Chris Neal, a member of the Unitarian Universalist Beloved Community, notes, that so few people are aware that Peace Day exists. “I guess for me personally, peace is a mindset or way of being, realizing that we are all one humanity,” she says. “The way I treat/feel toward others reflects this oneness.” Neal’s hope is that this day and the weekend’s events will bring a local awareness to such an important, yet seemingly unrecognized day. “Peace means having a world view and caring about what happens to those near by and those far away,” she says. On Thursday, Sept. 21 at 11:45 a.m. in Johnson Square, an Interfaith Service will kick off the weekend of events. During these thirty minutes in Johnson Square, people are invited to sign the “Peace Proclamation” based on the United Nations General Assembly Resolution which declared that the International Day of Peace “will serve as a reminder to all peoples that our Organization, with all its limitations, is a living instrument in the service of peace and should serve all of us here within the Organization as a constantly pealing bell reminding us that our permanent commitment, above all interests or differences of any kind, is to peace.”

I’m not known for my overwhelming generosity with money. Slow with a dollar, as they say. My Irish uncle teases me that I must have some Scottish blood somewhere in my ancestry. But the other day I was prompted to do something unusual: I sent a contribution to Amnesty International (hey, it’s tax-deductible -- I haven’t gone completely insane). I did this spontaneously, in an almost visceral response to the growing debate over the use of “coercive interrogation tactics” -- i.e., torture -- on detainees. It’s strange: Of all the things that the Bush administration has been involved with -- 9/11, Iraq, Katrina, etc. -- the things that have had the deepest emotional impact on me are the Guantanamo detention camp, the Abu Ghraib prison abuses and the whole torture debate. The 9/11 attacks were certainly deeply emotional events, but President Bush wasn’t directly responsible for them. As for Iraq, while Bush is responsible for the invasion and its disastrous aftermath, many reasonable people agreed with him that Saddam Hussein posed a serious threat. Katrina was a failure of government on all levels, not just FEMA’s. The suffering people of New Orleans didn’t deserve what happened to them, but their foolish decision to re-elect Ray Nagin unfortunately means their suffering is far from over. But Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, the secret CIA prisons, the debate over torture and the attempt to abrogate America’s century-long commitment to the Geneva Conventions all belong only to Bush. They are his collective, peculiar legacy -- perhaps even moreso than Iraq, which will likely be passed off to the next president. The president has made it loud and clear, in a variety of forums with a variety of urgent hand gestures, that mainstreaming previously illegal forms of coercion is very high on his to-do list -- and by inference, that America’s traditional status as a human rights leader is very low on that list. As the son of a career military man, the wretched spectacle of interrogators in the CIA and the U.S. armed forces reduced -not in the heat of battle, but under order - to levels of barbarism disturbingly near to those of the terrorists they are fighting has affected me on a profound level. I regard this as a rank betrayal. I take it personally. Like you, I grew up knowing that no matter our faults, Americans were the good guys. We led by example, and were as magnanimous in victory as we were tenacious in battle. More than any other single attribute, America’s commitment to fair-
ness was what set us apart. After World War II, we gave the Nazis -- the Nazis! -- due process of law. America held fair trials for the most evil villains in world history, the murderers of millions. No other nation would have shown such decency, wisdom, compassion and foresight in a similar situation. Germany is our ally today. Hogan’s Heroes was fiction, but it is true that former German prisoners of war sometimes attend American WWII veterans gatherings. Devotion to basic human rights -- no matter which human -- is not just feel-good liberal lip service. It pays real dividends. The first Gulf War ended with little loss of American life largely because entire Iraqi divisions surrendered without firing a shot. They did so because they knew they’d be treated fairly in captivity. If they’d known that waterboarding -- i.e., simulated drowning -- was their fate, would they have given up? If they’d known their bodies would be packed in ice, with rectal thermometer readings taken every so often to make sure they didn’t die, would they have waved the white flag? If they’d known they’d be shipped to secret prisons to have razor cuts made on their genitals, would they have surrendered? No, they’d have fought to the death, taking many Americans with them before their inevitable defeat. And the survivors would be doubly committed to performing worse atrocities the next time a GI or Marine fell into their grasp. This is the legacy of torture, and sadly it’s now yours as well. Aside from the lunacy of getting into a torture competition in the region of the world that invented torture, the most puzzling thing about our president’s fixation is the fact that most experts agree that torture simply doesn’t work. All it provides is what the torturer wants to hear. People say anything to get out of torture. I know I would. As for that favorite conservative conundrum: Is it OK to torture the guy who knows where the nuclear suitcase bomb is planted in a major U.S. city? This is the show-stopper, the “gotcha” question that’s supposed to shut up all the namby-pamby media types like me that care about quaint pre-9/11 things like human rights. First off, I’d answer that it’s a waste of time, since you can’t trust what he says anyway -- because you’re torturing him. Secondly, if the clock is ticking, all he has to do is tell lies until the bomb goes off. But mostly, I’d answer that torture breaks not only the body and spirit of the victim, but the soul of the torturer as well. Without a soul, bodies -- and nations -- are just empty shells anyway. So the question then becomes: What is worth losing your soul for? w

news|Blotter Two officers were working undercover when they observed two “extremely intoxicated” men walk south on Abercorn Street and approach 31st Lane. One of the men entered the lane, so the officers parked their unmarked vehicle and waited for him to return. About five minutes passed and there was no sign, so they drove past the location and observed a wooden gate that was moving “as if someone had entered it.” There were numerous no trespassing signs on the outside of the building and fence. Initially, the officers believed the man had entered the back yard, so they left their vehicle. They observed the man walking towards them, about 30 feet from the gate. As they approached him, the second man emerged from the backyard. This man “appeared to be sweating and nervous.” He was asked what he was doing and said, “I was going to borrow a bicycle.” The man’s associate said due to their intoxication, they believed they were at 40th Lane and Abercorn, where they live. One of the officers asked the man who the bicycle belonged to. He said he didn’t know. The officer then asked if he knew anyone who lived at the residence, which was a boarding house, and the man replied, “Helen.” He said that he had been “drinking and smoking crack with her earlier.” The officer made contact with Helen, who said she knew the man as “Skeeter.” She didn’t want to cooperate and didn’t know the man was outside. The man then made a spontaneous statement. “I was going to steal the bike,” he said. “I need some rest. Please take me to jail.” He was arrested. He also showed the officers a bicycle he had removed from one of the porches and placed at the side of the building. • While in the area of Pennsylvania Avenue and Gwinnett Street, a man saw two young men carrying a black pistol. Police checked the area and located one subject who told police that his friend had a play gun that they had found earlier. The second youth was located and was found to have a small black BB pistol in his front right pocket. He said his friend had found the gun and asked him to hold it for him. The parents were notified of the situation and the BB gun was locked into the property room. Police said it had the look, feel and weight of a real PPK firearm. • A man told police that he was traveling west on Lionsgate Road when four men traveling east in a small car approached him in his lane. He said he had to exit the roadway and drive into a driveway to avoid making contact with the vehicle. He turned around to follow the other car to copy the tag number, at which time the car stopped in the middle

of the road. He said that three young men about 17 to 18 years old exited the vehicle and began a verbal altercation. One of the men then stepped around the vehicle and struck the man in the nose as a second man struck him in the back of the head. The men then left the scene. The man’s passenger corroborated his story. • A man was seen sleeping on a park bench in a small square adjacent to Barnard and Bay streets. Upon arrival, an officer saw the man’s shirt was open, exposing the front of his upper torso. The officer waited for backup before attempting to wake the man. Upon the arrival of the other officer, the man was awakened. He was asked for his ID and gave the officers a paper copy of his Veterans Administration ID. The man asked, “Why are you bothering me?” and was advised he was violating a city ordinance that prohibits converting public property to private use when sleeping on a park bench. The man responded, “Don’t you know I’m the Godfather?” The man was told he was going to jail. “You better let me walk!” he replied. A third officer arrived on the scene and was approaching the suspect from behind. The man then said, “You better let me walk or I’ll cut off your f-----g balls!” The officer then grabbed the man’s arms from behind the park bench. Another officer quickly moved to a position to handcuff the man. After he was handcuffed, the officers attempted to take him to the cruiser when he started resisting. Theofficers placed him on the ground. One officer grabbed his right side, while another officer grabbed his left side and the third officer attempted to grab his feet. The man started kicking the third officer in the legs with both of his feet. That officer had foot prints on both thighs from the man’s kicks. He was placed into a pair of leg shackles and put into the cruiser. w

News of the Weird reported in 1993 that a nude dancer in Tampa had been spared a more serious injury (according to a police officer) when a gunshot to her chest was deflected by her breast implant.

Suspects fleeing the police near the water decide to swim for freedom, and drown. And remember, years ago, when we thought it weird that perverts would hide tiny video cameras in public restrooms?

El Niño Returns
The U.S. weather agency NOAA announced that the returning El Niño ocean warming phenomenon in the Pacific is likely to strengthen during the next few months and has already affected the hurricane season. “The weak El Niño is helping to explain why the hurricane season is less than we expected ... because it tends to suppress hurricane activity in the Atlantic,” said Gerry Bell, a hurricane forecaster for NOAA. During the last 30 days, drierthan-average conditions have been observed across all of Indonesia, Malaysia and most of the Philippines, which are usually the first areas to experience El Niño-related impacts. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center believes the ocean warming will last well into 2007, bringing a warmer winter to western and central parts of the United States and Canada. Wetter-than-normal weather is expected from Texas to Florida.
Arctic Retreat
The Arctic Ocean’s permanent sea ice shrank abruptly by 14 percent between 2004 and 2005, according to a new report published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. Such “perennial” ice has often been 10 feet thick or more, but it has been replaced by new seasonal ice that is only about 1 to 7 feet thick, according to satellite observations. Researchers from NASA say that if the sea ice cover continues to decline, the surrounding ocean will warm, further accelerating summer ice melts and impeding fall freeze-ups. This could result in even further disappearance of permanent ice. A combination of climate change

An explosion from a meteor or piece of space debris entering the atmosphere above New Zealand’s South Island was so loud that people ran from their homes and workplaces to see what had rattled the buildings. Eyewitnesses said they saw a bright white trail in the sky with pieces breaking off. A commercial pilot flying over the region said he saw an object similar to a meteor — “but different” — flashing in front of his cockpit. The pilot said he did not believe it was a meteor because it was spinning, and reminded him of the debris from the United States Space Shuttle Columbia when it exploded. An object thought to be a fragment of the fireball was discovered on a farm south of Christchurch.

Ministers -- of rock!
Bull Street Baptist hosts all-ages Christian rock show should not) represent faith in their music. “When (the band) started out, we explicitly decided that wasn’t something we were gonna do. Being Christian is a big part of all of our lives, but we don’t sing about that, and we’re not out to convert people. That’s something that should happen on a personal basis. We’re just trying to play good music!” He says this laid-back approach seems to dovetail nicely with the attitude of this branch of the church, led by College Minister Lessie Bryce (who unfortunately could not be reached for comment). “This entire ministry’s focus is not to be too preachy, and label people,” opines Claggett. “They understand that our music is a great way for us to go and meet folks. Where it goes from that is nothing more than our own personal responsibility.” “You don’t have to be pro-Christian to play here,” he adds. “As long as you’re not antiChristian! (laughs)” Claggett says this particular gig was organized by a few independent touring acts that needed a place to play for the night. The Flight Out was tapped as the local opener, and he for one hopes that there will be more similar shows at this location. “It’s a great place for shows. It’s safe, and it’s an easy walk for most SCAD students.” It’s also one of the only options for anyone younger than 21 to catch some live rock music, since city leaders recently voted to ban anyone underage from live music venues geared toward selling alcohol. Along with the dreamy, emo-tinged rock of Claggett’s band, this show also features: Failures of Modern Science, a tight Milledgeville-based mod-punk trio that sounds like Richard Hell backed by Elvis Costello’s Attractions and produced by Butch Walker; Tommy & The Whale, a keyboard-based, Britpop-influenced duo from Pensacola (now Nashville) that comes off like 10cc on $12 a day; the low-fi acoustic bedroom psych-folk of Nashville’s one-man band A Crooked, Spinning Head; and Harrison Hudson, a former Atlantan whose snarky, Weezer-esque guitar ditties wrap savvy pop smarts around vintage Cheap Trick-isms, and smothers them in dense, Jeff Lynne-lite studio flourishes. All in all, a wide variety of great, upand-coming artists — all for free. Beat that. w

There was a time (as James Brown used to say), when the notion of a “melodic, noisy, alt.rock band” playing inside a Baptist church building made about as much sense as a screen door on a submarine. Even if the band itself sang —or screamed— exclusively about the Gospel, it’s hard to imagine pitching such an idea to the preacher. However, times have changed, and these days, not only is Christian-themed indie-rock and metal all the rage with both believers and non-believers alike, all over the country (and the world for that matter), congregations of all faiths and denominations are desperately trying to come up with unique ways to reach out to —and motivate— young people. The churches need new blood, and many of them are finding that in 2006, the lure of Top: pancake dinners The Flight out and parking-lot carBottom: nivals just isn’t doHarrison Hudson ing the trick. With increasing frequency, college and youth ministries are turning to modified versions of stereotypically secular pursuits as a way to attract fresh faces. This partially explains why Savannah’s own Bull St. Baptist Church is hosting a five-band bill of impressive, quirky and slightly commercial modern rock, pop and folk this weekend. Yet what’s most surprising about this event is that none of the bands involved seem upon relatively close inspection to be overtly Christian in nature. At least their music isn’t. “There’s the rub,” guitarist Bob Claggett says with a slightly awkward chuckle, as though he’s both proud of himself and mildly ashamed at the same time. Claggett’s current band, The Flight Out, have only been playing public gigs for a few months, but in that time they’ve won a Battle of The Bands contest held by the Savannah College of Art & Design, and begun to tour outside of our immediate area. Each of the band’s members is a believer, and they’re all heavily involved in Bull St. Baptist’s college ministry “One-Eighty” (which is housed in an ultra-modern “Student Center” which opens onto Drayton St. and slightly resembles an idealized MTV version of an airplane hangar). Claggett says the church is happy to help support his group’s endeavours —they allow them to practice regularly on the stage of the Student Center— and do not in any way dictate how the band should (or

The SCA is an educational organization devoted to the study and reenactment of the historic period from the fall of the Roman Empire to Columbus’ discovery of the New World. While the members take their study seriously, they also like to have fun, and it’s the role-playing aspect of the group that sets it apart. One of the ways they have fun is by choosing a persona -- Newton’s is a 12th Century Mongol warrior named Lord Chinua Qadanjin -- and living their SCA lives through that alter ego. While most SCA members choose more typical European-style knights as their personae, others, like Newton, choose less widelyknown historic references from the period -- Vikings, for example, or even the Native Americans that Vikings contacted during their visits to North America long before Columbus. Another main way they have fun is by one-on-one close combat, using club-like, blunt rattan “swords”
Top, two SCA members in full combat at last year’s Festival; right, Doris Mager, ‘the Eagle Lady’ (with mic) will be on hand
and wearing homemade suits of armor crafted from a diverse range of materials from metal to leather. How do the SCA warriors cope with Southern heat, which is a good deal hotter than the northern European climes of most of their alter egos? “If I come up with a good answer I’ll call you,” Newton jokes. “You have to drink lots of water and know when you’ve become overheated. Our armor is real, and there’s very little skin exposed. Between fights we’ll usually take our helmets and gloves off.” The funds raised this year will go to purchase emergency equipment for Oatland Island. “It’s mainly having to do with animal emergencies, animal escapes, things like that,” says Quinting. For example, the site currently has no dedicated vehicle that is fully capable of penetrating to every area of its sometimes heavily wooded campus. “For transportation around the site we usually use our pickup trucks, but they can’t always get to every place we need to go,” Quinting explains. “Also, pickups aren’t designed to just go short distances -- we end up having to replace mufflers an awful lot.” So some of the money from this Saturday’s event will go to the purchase of an all-terrain type vehicle such as a “Mule,” which would be used not only for routine activity onsite but for emergencies as well. To help prioritize its needs, Oatland Island recently hired a consultant familar with the accreditation criteria for the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) to evaluate the site and its procedures for emergency
preparedness. While Oatland is not required to be accredited by AZA, Quinting says it’s a longtime goal. “We’ve been striving towards that for the last 12 years, and it might take another ten years to get there. The requirements are very strict,” Quinting says. “If you’re AZA accredited it makes you top shelf. It gives you resources you can use -- for instance, if we wanted to acquire a new animal, we could do that through AZA through its network of organizations.” The Medieval Festival is comparatively unique among fundraisers in that the money immediately goes into specific projects. For example, funds from the 2004 Medieval Festival immediately went to repair Oatland dock facilities. Funds from last year’s Festival were intended to begin a new rehabilitation and surgery facility, and “Phase One is already underway,” Quinting says. “We’ve begun construction of the holding and recovery area, and Phase 2 will be the surgery area.” The rehab/veterinary facility is of particular importance to Oatland’s ability to be a regional center for wildlife rehabilitation. “When we get a new animal we have to keep it in quarantine for 90 days. Currently, we have no easy way of doing that here,” Quinting says. “Another reason we need it is if one of our animals gets sick or needs surgery and recovery time.” For the third year running, the symbiotic relationship between Oatland Island and the SCA continues to be mutually beneficial. “We’re an educational organization at heart,” says SCA’s Newton, “and for us to be able to be directly involved with an educational group like Oatland is a huge sweeling of pride for us, that we get to be involved to bringing real history out to people in this kind of atmosphere.” SCA is allowed to recruit new members at the events, and each year Newton says they pick up several more devotees. Oatland’s Quinting says, “For three years it’s been a win-win situation for both of us. SCA was looking for a place to practice, and obviously we have a lot of room. And we wanted to get this festival off the ground. Without them we wouldn’t be able to do it.” w The Medieval Festival is this Saturday from Sept. 23 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Oatland Island Education Center off the Islands Expressway. Cost is $5 per person, with children under 4 admitted free. Activities and demonstrations include a catapult, swordfighting & crossbow demonstrations, a medieval village, blacksmithing and armor making demonstrations, strolling minstrels, birds of prey demonstration with Doris Mager, “The Eagle Lady”, dancing and more.

Oatland Island’s Medieval Festival this year will feature all the usual attractions you’ve come to know and love: Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) “knights” gleefully bashing the crap out of each other, musicians playing bittersweet tunes of unrequited love on authentic instruments, and really big fried turkey legs. Annie Quinting, executive director of Oatland Island, also says, “We’ll have the pony rides again, and we’ll have the full artisan’s village, with music and dancing. The archery display this year will feature one of the best archers in Florida, a woman who is actually a knight in the SCA. ” As for the usual big day-long attraction -- the aforementioned knights beating on each other -- there will be plenty of that. “We’ll be fighting throughout the day all day, from the time the doors open,” says Darren Newton of the local chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism, whose members eat, sleep and breathe all things medieval. “We won’t stop until the fighters fall out.” (A life-size, authentic catapult was scheduled to be demonstrated during the event; sadly, as we go to press we’re informed that the designer and owner of the catapult won’t be able to make it Saturday due to unforeseen circumstances.) A normally serene and bucolic locale, Oatland Island is happy to host this warlike scene for a day, because it helps derive some much-needed funding for the educational center. While the Savannah/Chatham County Board of Education owns and funds the site, any extra money Oatland raises through its support organization, Friends of Oatland (FOO), can go directly to specific projects. “One reason FOO was organized was so it could raise money for specific goals and so we could go ahead and start knocking down this list we have,” says Quinting. “All the money FOO raises is put into Oatland. This is advantageous for the Board of Education and the taxpayers as well, because they don’t end up with the bill for some of the things we need to have done here.”

But sometimes it takes a show like this for people to realize that people do die from this. And it’s still a real issue – the numbers are going back up. Connect Savannah: Because the show deals with such ‘90s issues, do you feel it’s at all dated? Warren Nolan Jr.: The great thing about this show is that it isn’t about people dying from HIV/ AIDS. One of the greatest lines from the show is living with, not dying from, disease. In essence these people are living their lives fully. That’s one of the things that makes people drawn to the show. This can touch you in a variety of different ways. It can just be about the fact that you’re trying to live each day as if it’s your last.

Warren Nolan Jr.: My job is to play an honest character. I sort of benefit from the fact that my character is one who doesn’t get seriously sick from HIV. That’s something that’s made my character easier to play. There are strong ramifications, of course -- I have to watch my lover die, and I imagine many people who have watched someone die like that have known that that may be their fate. There’s also an immense guilt involved with that. I just went into the situation and hoped that I could be honest and I could be real and ultimately find some truth in the character.

The Last Kiss
THE LAST KISS

Appearing
Sept. 21-23
A major award winner both at Sundance and in its Italian homeland, 2001’s The Last Kiss (L’Ultimo Bacio) tackles the topic of relationships in such a straightforward and emotionally honest manner that by the end, it’s impossible to ascertain whether the film is, at its core, deeply pessimistic or quietly hopeful. An American remake would naturally be expected to dumb down the entire experience. But that’s not exactly what happens with the new stateside take on The Last Kiss. To a startling degree, this version retains many of the prickly elements that made the original so memorable; it only falters at the very end, and even then by a far lesser degree than one would reasonably expect. The Last Kiss places its primary focus on the relationship between Michael (Zach Braff) and Jenna (Jacinda Barrett). Michael is about to turn 30 and elects to have his mid-life crisis about a decade earlier than planned. He’s deeply in love with his longtime girlfriend Jenna, but once she announces that she’s pregnant, he freaks out, deciding that he’s not prepared to cope with either being a husband or being a father. Kim (Rachel Bilson), a college student who’s perpetually perky, spots Michael at a wedding and is instantly attracted to him. Initially, Michael feebly fights off her advances, but soon he’s the one dropping by the campus to see her and making plans to go with her to a party. The situations presented here are strikingly similar to the ones on display in the Italian original, which means that this film rarely backs away from confronting thorny situations head-on. If there’s a key difference, it’s in the personalities of these various players. The characters in L’Ultimo Bacio felt in every sense like real adults, grown people with a passion for life and, for the most part, a determination to ultimately face up to their own shortcomings. This latest Kiss, on the other hand, fits more comfortably into the niche of recent films that portray the American male as a man-child incapable of achieving and/ or sustaining the level of maturity and clear-eyed vision enjoyed by his female counterpart. The final sequence is more open-ended than what’s typically served up in American films of this nature, yet I still found myself wishing it had gone farther. w

THE WICKER MAN 1/2 The 1973 cult offering The Wicker Man
Hollywood Land
Before Christopher Reeve and Bran-
don Routh, there was George Reeves. Kirk Alyn may have originated the role of Superman on screen in a pair of 1940s serials, but it was Reeves who was most identified with the part, thanks to the hit TV series that ran throughout much of the 1950s. But in 1959, Reeves apparently committed suicide, though speculation has always run rampant that the hulking actor was actually the victim of foul play. Hollywoodland is a fictionalized take on this theory, centering on a smalltime detective (Adrien Brody) as he sets off to uncover the truth. Was Reeves (Ben Affleck) murdered by his opportunistic girlfriend (Robin Tunney), a gold digger who ran out of
patience once she realized his career would never amount to more? By his older lover (Diane Lane), who feared she might be losing him for good? By the woman’s husband (Bob Hoskins), a powerful studio executive known for tying up loose ends? Or, in the final analysis, did Reeves really pull the trigger himself? Hell if anyone knows for sure, and that includes the makers of this film, who trot out every conceivable scenario without ever committing to one. Still, that’s hardly a flaw, as the open-endedness allows this handsome picture to tantalizingly jump back and forth between its colorful characters. The performances are uniformly fine -- Affleck has been a punching bag for so long now that his solid work here will surprise many -- and the movie richly offers nostalgia-twinged visions of vintage LA.

THE ILLUSIONIST 1/2
Set in Austria, The Illusionist stars Edward Norton as Eisenheim, an enigmatic stage magician so skilled at his profession that the locals suspect he might actually possess otherworldly powers. One of the few skeptics is Crown Prince Leopold (Rufus Sewell), a cruel ruler who sets out to prove that Eisenheim is a fake. He enlists the aid of the corrupt Chief Inspector Uhl (Paul Giamatti), yet matters become more tangled when it’s revealed that Leopold’s fiancee (Jessica Biel) was once Eisenheim’s childhood sweetheart. For a good while, The Illusionist is topflight entertainment, with its lush period setting, its assemblage of captivating magic tricks, and a delightful relationship between Eisenheim and Uhl, two men sharing a wary respect for each other (both Norton and Giamatti are excellent). But then the film makes the fatal mistake of morphing into a mystery, the type that’s agonizingly easy to figure out even before its gears can really be placed in motion. Viewers who can’t figure out the big twist should dig out those old Encyclopedia Brown paperbacks and begin rebuilding their sleuthing skills from there.

Connect Savannah 09.20.06 www.connectsavannah.com
is one of those compelling “mood pieces” that could only have emerged from the early 70s. Like other fine works of its period (including two by Nicolas Roeg, Don’t Look Now and Walkabout), it employs allegory and atmosphere to amplify its thin veneer of the supernatural - it registers as a fantasy flick in our minds more than it does on the screen. The Wicker Man, about a repressed detective (Edward Woodward) who visits a remote island off the coast of Scotland in search of a missing girl and in the process unearths a decadent and primitive society, was ultimately an examination of competing religions -- Christianity vs. paganism -- and as such had a field day offering up a slew of ambiguous interpretations that (depending on the viewer) either spoke out against rigid Christian doctrine, against reckless hedonism, or against any form of organized worship. Writer-director Neil LaBute’s remake is a disastrous miscalculation, shucking religion completely and instead fashioning the tale as a battle between upstanding male dominance and wicked feminist doctrine. LaBute has repeatedly faced charges of misogyny (see In the Company of Men, The Shape of Things and Your Friends & Neighbors) but never before has he appeared quite this terrified of emasculation -- it’s as if John Bobbitt had gotten hold of a movie camera and made a film in which all the female characters were based on his interpretation of Lorena Bobbitt. Nicolas Cage plays the befuddled protagonist here, no longer a God(and sex-)fearing cop but rather a generic Hollywoodized detective (no spiritual side, haunted by a past tragedy, forever popping pills, etc.). Hampered by its fondness for annoying dream sequences, the film mopes along drearily, the only jolts coming when we witness an unexpected rage in Cage as he punches and kicks several women (including teenage girls); then again, these scenes are perfectly in line with LaBute’s apparent worldview.

World Trade Center 1/2
The most startling thing about World Trade Center is that it’s by far the least controversial movie Oliver Stone has ever made. Conversely, it’s also hard to get terribly excited over the final product. World Trade Center focuses on the Port Authority Police Department officers who would eventually be recognized as two of the only 20 people to be rescued from the rubble of the Twin Towers. September 11 begins as any other day for John McLoughlin (Nicolas Cage) and Will Jimeno (Michael Pena), but like everyone else on that fateful morning, they soon are having to digest incomplete messages involving an airplane crashing into one of the towers. Springing into action, they’re among the men who enter the building with the intention of aiding any potential survivors, even as they try to decipher additional news items suggesting that the second tower has also been hit by a plane. Timing’s not on their side, however, as the towers collapse just as they begin making their way up from the ground to the floors above. Their colleagues lose their lives, but John and Will somehow survive, though at a great price. Meanwhile, their wives (Maria Bello and Maggie Gyllenhaal) wait impatiently at their respective homes with other family members, eager to find out whether their spouses are dead or alive. Working from a script by first-timer Andrea Berloff, Stone keeps his rabble-rousing methods fully in check -- even his typically frenetic shooting style has been replaced by a more somber m.o., with lengthy camera holds on saintly faces and nary a rapid jump-cut in sight. Unfortunately, the end result is a movie that feels oddly impersonal. Despite the strong performances by Bello and Gyllen-
haal, the numerous sequences centering on the strong-willed wives are no different than similar moments from countless WWII dramas, when the women are seen staring wistfully out of windows while their men are off trying to make the world a better place. Like United 93, World Trade Center also tries to keep politics out of the picture; instead, it focuses on the day as a shining example of American solidarity, before the government began reshaping the tragedy for its own exploitive means. Yet for all of Stone’s timidity, the material brings out some undeniable truths. The movie’s most poignant sequence comes when Stone chooses to briefly show the international community learning about this monstrous terrorist attack. It’s the moment when the U.S. had the sympathy and support of practically every country around the globe, and as we watch this segment, we’re heartbroken upon realizing how the Bush Administration has spent the last five years pissing away all that goodwill, in effect turning us into a country that’s now feared and despised rather than embraced and adored. A political perspective also appears through the character of Dave Karnes (Michael Shannon), a Marine who claims God personally ordered him to Ground Zero. Karnes is clearly a hero -- he’s the guy who found McLoughlin and Jimeno -- yet he’s also the sort of mindless warrior too easily swayed by those in charge. He swears vengeance against those who destroyed the WTC, a sentiment we can all share. Except a footnote reveals that he served two tours of duty in Iraq -- like so many others, fighting in the wrong war for the wrong reasons. Stone prefers that we don’t think too much of such sticky situations, and that’s his prerogative. This nonpartisan treatment certainly allows the movie’s wholesome humanity to shine through, which in turn

leads to some strong sequences detailing the manner in which John and Will deal with their hellish situation. This is often powerful stuff, but in the final analysis, it’s still a sanitized, Hollywood version of 9/11. For a harrowing experience that feels more like the real deal, United 93 is the one to see. It hits DVD on September 5.
TALLADEGA NIGHTS: THE BALLAD OF RICKY BOBBY
Like Spam, energy drinks and the music of
Yanni, Will Ferrell is one of those acquired tastes that satisfy devotees while perplexing everyone else. While some folks swear by his 2004 starring vehicle Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, I’m not one of them. This one-note movie struck me as annoying rather than amusing, meaning I wasn’t exactly anticipating Ferrell and director Adam McKay reteaming for a comedy about a NASCAR redneck. My mistake. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby is often uproarious, and it’s clever in a way that Anchorman rarely attempted. Like Ron Burgundy, Ricky Bobby is also an egotistical, none-too-bright boor. “I piss excellence,” he declares, and his standing as NASCAR’s best driver certainly signals that he’s excellent at something. He has a best friend (John C. Reilly) who’s even dumber than he is, a blonde trophy wife (Leslie Bibb) who’s always looking to get ahead, and two obnoxious sons named Walker and Texas Ranger (“But we call him TR for short”). Ricky has spent his life trying to work out issues with his deadbeat dad (Gary Cole, delivering the film’s shrewdest comic performance), but that doesn’t excuse his repellent behavior and the way he takes everyone and everything for granted. Clearly, Ricky Bobby is primed to receive a comeuppance, and it arrives in the form of Jean Girard (hilarious Sacha Baron Cohen), a French homosexual race car driver whose prowess on the track leads to Ricky’s fall from grace and his subsequent (and humbled) climb back to the top.
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN’S CHEST 1/2
At 145 minutes, Dead Man’s Chest ends up providing too much bang for the buck. That’s just about the same running time as its predecessor, but that film wore its length better, given that the screenplay had its hands full establishing setting, introducing characters, hammering out its weighty plot, and still finding time to include action scenes in the best swashbuckling tradition. Certainly, those expecting amazing feats of derring-do won’t be disappointed by this new film. The effects-driven action scenes are clearly the picture’s highlights, and they alone make Dead Man’s Chest worth the price of admission. But on the heels of Superman Returns, a movie of substance

that nevertheless made sure not to skimp on its adventure quota, this one too often rings hollow. The first Pirates felt like both a stand-alone movie and the theme park attraction on which it was based; this one just feels like a roller coaster ride, full of momentary thrills but leaving little in its wake except a sudden desire to rest for a minute. Those who found Curse’s plot a bit on the convoluted side might as well not even attempt to unscramble the goings-on this time. The central thrust finds Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp) tangling with the ghostly Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) in an effort to save his own soul from damnation; it’s possible that his scheme will require sacrificing his friends Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), but that’s a compromise the self-serving Jack can accept. Depp’s still a lot of fun as the scurrilous Sparrow, but a headline-grabbing performance that seemed blazingly original the first time around no longer has the power to surprise, and there’s no effort on the parts of scripters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio to make up for that by deepening the character in any way. w

the 411|Free Will Astrology system. Push the river. Entertain the possibility that everything you know is at least half-wrong. Do you catch my drift, Aries? What I’m trying to tell you is, champion the underdog. Ignore the obvious. Disprove the conventional wisdom. Bet on the dark horse. Be a devil’s advocate. Shall I continue my rant until you have absolutely no doubt what your mission is? Buy a new goldfish and name it “Jaws.” Figure out a way to lick your own elbow. Eat with your non-dominant hand. Say prayers while you’re having sex. Acquire a pet mosquito. Watch TV while standing on your head.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Very few raindrops are actually
raindrop- shaped. A far greater number take the form of doughnuts. These doughnutty raindrops are your power objects, Taurus--your magical symbols. I hope they inspire you to look for the wide-open spaces in the middle of every stormy downpour. I trust they will alert you to the possibility that there’ll be windows of opportunities at the heart of the drizzle.
playing games in the coming days, the smarter you’ll be. Miniature golf, Monopoly, Twister, gin rummy, paintball, scavenger hunts, tag, Dungeons and Dragons--doesn’t matter what it is, as long as it moves you to engage in exuberant fun for no other reason than because it feels so good. Playing games will be the Truth and the Way, the secret to enlightenment, the key to cultivating robust health and making good decisions. Make this Chinese proverb your motto: *A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song.*
CANCER (June 21-July 22): For years, I lived 13 miles from
the top of Mt. Tamalpais, the highest peak in the San Francisco Bay Area. Every day I gazed at it from afar through my window or while riding my bike in the hills, marveling as it glided through its ever-shifting relationship with the sky. It was a remote yet familiar beacon, an awe-inspiring touchstone against which I could mea-

sure my own undulating rhythms. Now I’ve moved to a new home at the foot of Mt. Tam. I feel as if I’ve become part of it--am embedded in its protective and majestic aura. It’s no longer an objective gauge, but rather an intimate tone and texture in my subjective experience of myself. I predict that you will soon undergo a comparable shift,Cancerian: from being *there* to being *here;* from outside to inside; from strength absorbed at a distance to power felt up close.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Biologists say the speed of thought
in the human brain is normally 150 miles per hour. But I’m guessing that in the coming weeks, ideas and intuitions will be zipping around your grey matter at a higher rate. It’s even possible they’ll break the sound barrier on a regular basis (761 miles per hour), meaning you may hear sonic booms coming from inside your skull. Don’t be alarmed if this occurs; in fact, be excited. It’s a sign that your intelligence is heating up, burning off tired old beliefs and outmoded theories in the process.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Acting on the authority vested
in me by the Prophets for Profit Syndicate, and speaking on behalf of the planetary rhythms, I can assure you of this: If your cash flow has been too slow and you remain passive about it in the coming weeks, it will corrode your mental health. If you lift a finger to upgrade your relationship with money, on the other hand, cosmic forces will rush to your aid with unexpected support. Therefore, in the name of all that’s holy, I hereby declare the beginning of a new age in which you conspire and agitate and work hard for a new wage.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Think how it is to have a
conversation with an embryo,” writes the poet Rumi, as translated by Coleman Barks. “You might say, ‘The world outside is vast and intricate. There are wheat fields and mountain passes and orchards in bloom. At night there are millions of galaxies, and in sunlight the beauty of friends dancing at a wedding.’ You ask the embryo why he or she stays cooped up in the dark with
eyes closed. Listen to the answer. ‘There is no *other world.* I only know what I’ve experienced. You must be hallucinating.’” Now I say to you, Libra, that you are the embryo Rumi and Barks are addressing. Consider the possibility that they’re telling the truth. Come out and take a look around.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Women are traps that lay for
men everywhere,” said Franz Kafka, “in order to drag them into the infinite.” If you find this idea sexist or heterosexist, formulate your own version. One way or another, you need to get lured or yanked into a bracing experience of boundless possibilities . . . into a delightfully shocking immersion in eternal truth . . . into a whirlwind tour of sublime, brain-scrambling beauty. If an uncanny woman will do the job for you, great. If an amazing man works better, or maybe a magical member of an in-between gender, seek that person out. Play hard with the limitless, Scorpio.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): According to the esoteric
spiritual tradition of Western hermeticism, you have a personal Holy Guardian Angel who’s always ready to give you help, as well as to lovingly kick your ass. Modern scientists snort derisively at this notion. They’re fundamentalist materialists, denying the possibility that something can exist if it’s not perceptible by our five senses or by instruments that humans have invented. If your temperament and training align you with the scientists’ ideology, I’ll ask you to temporarily suspend your skepticism so that you might join other Sagittarians in trying the following experiment: Act as if you have a personal Holy Guardian Angel whose job it is to help you lose your illusions, liberate you from suffering, and make you smarter. What clarifying questions will you ask the HGA? What precise assistance will you request?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In May 1941, Adolf Hitler’s deputy Rudolf Hess made an unauthorized attempt to seek peace with Britain. He flew there alone from
Germany, parachuting onto a Scottish farm as his plane crashed. According to some accounts, Prime Minister Winston Churchill was quickly informed of Hess’s odd visitation, but deferred taking action because he was too absorbed in a Marx Brothers movie. I expect there’ll soon be a metaphorically comparable event in your sphere, Capricorn. My advice? Be like Churchill. If loose cannons or obsessed messengers or self-important proselytizers demand your attention, put them on hold and stay engrossed in whatever’s amusing you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 2000, I logged 34,000
miles during my travels across America to meet my readers. During a three-year stretch earlier in my life, I was a homeless gypsy, sponging off friends and staying in hostels from Vermont to South Carolina, from Italy to Greece. But in recent years I’ve gone on extensive pilgrimages of another kind, carried out through imaginal exercises, lucid dreams, and shamanic meditations. According to my reading of the omens, Aquarius, you can generate rich blessings for yourself by getting away from it all in either of these two directions. What’s better, to head out into far-flung places in the outer world or the inner world? It doesn’t matter.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): One historian has figured out
that during the last three and a half millennia, humans have been at peace throughout the world for only 230 years--less than seven percent of the time. How would you rate your own personal proportions of war and peace, Pisces? I certainly hope you’re serene, centered, and secure far more than seven percent of your life. But whether or not you are, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to boost your average dramatically. The actions you take and the attitudes you adjust could set in motion changes that will make peace a more common everyday experience. How hard you willing to work to establish a Pax Pisces? w

912-233-6000 www.CoraBettT homas.com SAVE MORE THAN MONEY! Forget about tree-hugging – the high cost of energy is making environmentalists out of everyone! Homebuilders and homeowners are no exception, and it’s anticipated that by 2010, about ten percent of all new homes will be “green.” The biggest challenge to green building has been the misconception that it costs more to construct such a home. But if you do the math over the long run, the money saved will far outpace the money invested. Consider that environmentally sound design actually uses less construction materials, and you can see that green buildings may indeed cost less to build than more traditional methods. Buckminster Fuller developed the idea of dome buildings decades ago, and builders are now capitalizing on the fact that a “dome home” might use only a third or even a quarter of the materials needed to construct a traditional house. Aside from using less materials, the materials being chosen these days are also more durable than those used in the past. That translates into lower repair and replacement costs. Sounding better and better, isn’t it? Finally, environmentally and financially friendly design manifests itself outside of the home, where dry landscaping (xeriscaping) helps to conserve water. “Green” homes also save water with fixtures like low-flush toilets, low-flow showerheads, and water recycling systems built right in. It’s good for you, your wallet, and your planet!
