‘Parents that vote have kids that vote’ Local experts on who’s likely to show up to the polls on Tuesday, who gets the campaign mail, and why young voters are mostly overlooked by candidates What are you doing next Tuesday? If you’re one of the 143,278 registered voters in Chatham County, then in theory visiting your polling place will be on your to-do list Nov. 7. In reality, if you’ve voted at all in the last several elections, that voting activity is the best predictor of whether you will cast your ballot next week. Your voting history is also affecting what’s been turning up in your mailbox and in your voice mail for the last month. Even if you’re registered to vote, if you haven’t voted in a while then you probably haven’t heard from many candidates. That’s because political types are spending their time and money trying to influence repeat voters instead of persuading occasional voters or non-voters to change their ways, while local “get out the vote” efforts are spotty. That in turn means little effort is spent on courting the next generation of voters and elected officials, adults aged 18-25. “We spend very little time trying to coerce new voters to the polls,” says Dave Simons, a Savannah political consultant who works for candidates for regional and local offices, mostly Republicans. “Ninety-five percent of my effort is geared towards targeting active voters.” First-time political candidates often tell Simons they want to contact every potential voter during their campaigns. “They always start out with this idealistic game plan to reach out to every house. They really believe it when they start. That’s where I come in. There’s no way you can do that, time-wise or money-wise.” When J. Craig Gordon, 29, launched his successful campaign for state representative earlier this year, his intention was to blanket the 162nd District, which encompasses much of central and southside Savannah. “We couldn’t afford to mail to everyone so we said, we’re going to mail to people who have a track record of voting, and we’re going to knock on doors to everybody,” Gordon says. Team members worked hard to contact all 27,255 registered voters in his district but found the task to be bigger than they could handle. “We tried to reach everyone but there’s just no way possible unless we started to campaign almost a year out.” Gordon’s campaign captured the attention of enough voters in the district for him to win the three-candidate Democratic primary with 53 percent of the vote, but that percentage represents only 1,855 voters. In District 162, only 16 percent of registered voters cast ballots in the July 2006 primary, which roughly mirrored voter turnout throughout Chatham County for that election. (Gordon’s success in July will send him to the state capitol in January since no Republican candidate ran for the position.) What will voter turnout be like on Nov. 7? According to Simons, turnout for a gubernatorial race is typically about 50 percent of registered voters. In a presidential election year, the rate increases to 70 percent. “There is an overall apathetic attitude towards voting in the United
States,” says Savannah Mayor Otis Johnson, “and Savannah-Chatham County is a reflection of that condition. People tend to vote their emotions. When there are highly controversial or emotional issues on the ballot, the percent of people who vote go up, although it still pales in comparison with other countries.” Mayor Johnson describes the base of the community that usually votes as “senior citizens, middle aged professionals, and a small segment of young adults. Young people and poor people generally don’t vote. They have a lot to say but what they say usually shows an alienation or distrust of the political process. They feel their vote doesn’t make a difference so they don’t vote.” Much of the effort in recruiting young voters seems to be focused on registration rather than mobilization, or getting them to go to the polls. At both Armstrong Atlantic State University and Savannah State University, new students, most of whom are freshmen, receive “motor voter” registration applications during summer orientation. At Armstrong the students turn those cards in to the university, who forwards them to county or state election agencies according to Bill Kelso, Interim Vice President for Student Affairs. In past years Armstrong has sponsored candidate forums, and there are “pockets of students who are politically active,” Kelso says, but there is no university-sponsored effort to encourage student voting. Andrew Brown, 20, the president of College Republicans at AASU, disagrees with Mayor Johnson’s assessment that young people don’t vote, but concedes that “Young voters are really hard to pin down on anything. A lot of people that are young are uninformed and don’t find that voting is that important. It’s depressing to see that a lot of people just don’t care. Going door to door, a lot of people say ‘I don’t vote. I don’t care.’ If you take a back seat to that, at some point something will occur where a major decision will be made” by people who were chosen by a minority of the electorate, he notes. At SSU, the student chapter of the NAACP registered 197 new voters during their summer orientation registration effort. Shed Dawson, Jr., faculty advisor for the SSU chapter, says getting students motivated to register is the biggest challenge in the summer, when there are no other political activities on campus. Closer to election day, the NAACP hosts candidate forums, but “if they don’t fill that form out in time then by the time they get interested it’s too late for them to vote in that election.” Simons says student voters are not a priority for his clients. “Young people, like military people, often come from another place. If they have an inclination to vote they vote back home. How much time can I spend trying to convince 18-25 year olds to vote? It’s high risk. When I look at a standard state house race, to mail to these new people that we don’t know if they are going to show up, why not just go after the people you know are going to vote?” Historically, the NAACP and the League of Women Voters have led “get out the vote” efforts in Savannah and elsewhere. Both groups have active chapters in Savannah but their recent election season efforts receive tepid reviews, especially regarding their success with young voters. “The NAACP does a good job in the African American community, but in Savannah it has waned from their heyday in the ‘60s and ‘70s,” says Simons. “They have their candidate forums, but their political muscle is somewhat deterred because more independent-minded voices in the black community are out there.” As an undergraduate, Charla Hall, 28, now an attorney at Oliver, Maner & Gray, was vice president of the Yale University chapter of NAACP, but has not participated in the Savannah chapter since moving here in 2003. “I think younger people are concerned and want to do something,” says Hall, “but I don’t think the NAACP is what they identify with. That’s what their mothers or grandmothers are involved with.” Hall says that young African American adults have not connected effectively with the NAACP regarding current community issues. “That’s part of the reason why we started Coastal Networking Group,” an organized monthly social for African-American young professionals which formed earlier this year. Hall and Gordon were among the organizers of the group, which brought together 30 or more people for monthly happy hour events, and spawned a monthly dinner club for more focused topical discussions. Dawson’s SSU student chapter has worked with the adult NAACP chapter on joint projects, including a voter registration drive in the public housing neighborhood Yamacraw Village. He credits the decrease in young adult NAACP activism after college to the pressures and distractions of the work world. Once out of college “no one is pushing them to get involved,” he says. “While on campus you’re constantly exposed to it in the classroom or around campus. When you graduate you have to do it on your own.” Richard Shinhoster, First Vice President of the Savannah NAACP chapter, disputes the assertion that his group is missing the connection with younger voters, noting that in addition to the SSU student group, an NAACP chapter at AASU was recently organized, and that in the past two years, involvement by younger voters in the NAACP’s Education, Registration and

Mobilization efforts is on the increase. The NAACP does not release membership information but Shinhoster describes the group’s roster as “significantly larger” than the 42 members of Savannah’s League of Women Voters, whose most visible contributions to the local election scene are the candidate forums they sponsor, according to Simons and Gordon. Statewide, the League of Women Voters is collaborating with schools to conduct mock elections to instruct children on the importance of voting. “Civics education is not given a priority,” says Jennifer Owens, Executive Director of the Georgia chapter. “That’s where we have lost the battle and we’re trying to make it up right now.”

One man, one vote? Black male voting impacted by fact and myth of felony convictions
One consequence of the rate of felony crimes and convictions of young AfricanAmerican men is the impact on voter registration and turnout. “Because of the incarceration rate in Savannah, we have a segment who are disenfranchised because they are on probation or on parole,” says Mayor Otis Johnson. “Until they completely rectify their debt to society they can’t vote.” “Young black males are the group that is experiencing the least amount of voter participation right now,” says Richard Shinhoster of the NAACP. Convicted felons in Georgia have their voting rights automatically restored once their parole or probation is completed, but Mayor Johnson notes that many people believe the voting prohibition is permanent. “There’s a myth out there that perpetuates that belief,” he says. “What we have to do, in the African American community especially, is overcome that myth.” Comparing Chatham County’s 2006 voter rolls with 2000 U.S. census data shows that African American men are 5-12 percent less likely to be registered to vote, and are 5.5–10 percent less likely to vote even when registered, than any other major demographic group in the county. Although both black and white men are less likely to vote than women, the voting gap between African American men and women is about twice as great as between white men and women. Registration information by age was not provided by the county. The NAACP is targeting former felons through their voter education efforts. “We do our very best to educate those persons,” says Shinhoster. “I have spoken at places where they meet with their probation officers” to not only correct misinformation but also to encourage parolees that voting is a worthwhile act. “We did see in the last election a significant improvement,” says Shinhoster. “We are still struggling with this. There is apathy among that group; there is some reluctance. It’s not enough to just register people. You’ve got to also educate.” In 2004, the student NAACP chapter at SSU focused voter registration efforts in Kayton Homes and Yamacraw Village public housing neighborhoods. “That is an issue we honed in on,” says Shed Dawson, Jr. the faculty advisor for the student chapter. “People will tell you ‘I’m on paper under Corrections Department supervision, I’m not able to vote.’ We try to talk them through the process, and also explain to them ‘You understand more about the system as a convicted felon.’ We try to get them to understand that the laws are made by people who vote, the conditions of the prisons are made by people who vote.” “It’s extremely important if we are to maintain a democratic form of government we have to constantly recruit participants,” concludes Shinhoster. “In order to do that they must be a registered voter.” w

“When I was a boy it was at a time when voting, for black folks, was a challenge at best. You were told you needed to vote in every election,” says Mayor Johnson. “I’m not sure that kind of message is being given our young people, although from time to time there is a breath of fresh air. “When they look at these old men and women making the kinds of decisions they’re making I can’t question why they’re cynical,” Mayor Johnson says. “The sad part about it is without their involvement they can’t change it. Their apathy leads to the status quo. In the civil rights era, it was led by the old people, but the young people were the foot soldiers that made the difference. “Personal interaction with young people, that’s what it takes,” concludes the mayor. “Interacting with mentors and people of vision and initiative.” Gordon sees low turnout among young voters as “an attrition thing. You may have two or three generations that don’t vote. It’s our job to start the new generation of voters. “I think parents that vote have kids that vote,” he concludes. “I remember going to the polls with my mom. That’s kind of all I know -- when it’s time to vote, you vote." w

The world according to Jim
Underdog Nelson takes on longtime incumbent Jack Kingston in First Congressional District In office since 1992, Republican Jack Kingston has gained a reputation as not only a responsive local representative but as virtually untouchable in elections, running unopposed more often than not. However, he’s not unopposed this year. Democratic challenger Jim Nelson may be the definite underdog, but judging from the feedback he’s received campaigning throughout the district, Nelson says many voters are ready for a change in coastal Georgia’s First Congressional District. We spoke with Nelson, a United Methodist minister and former U.S. Army paratrooper, while the candidate was on the road between campaign stops. Connect Savannah: Republicans have largely succeeded in making “Democrat” a dirty word in the South. How have you been received in the semirural First District so far? Jim Nelson: You’re right, in some areas it’s been considered a dirty word. But we’ve seen a lot more Democratic bumper stickers and people are putting up a lot more yard signs. And there are a less and less of those “W” bumper stickers. It’s almost not popular now to be a Republican. Connect Savannah: Here in Savannah the conventional wisdom is that Kingston basically has the job as long as he wants it. Jim Nelson: There’s this myth of Kingston in Savannah, but because of redistricting he now has actually very few voters in Savannah. There are some places in the First District he’s never been. It was redistricted in 2000, and Kingston was really unopposed in 2002 and 2004, so there are some western counties in the district where he’s never really campaigned. He has no more name ID than I do in those areas, and he hasn’t made much of an impact.

I’ve worn the uniform like they have, so I understand what they’re going through. I often end my speeches by saying, “Support our troops -- send one of them to Congress.”
Jim Nelson: Well, it’s time to bring the troops home. The resolution to that situation is not a military one, it’s a political one. We can’t resolve it purely with military force. It takes a lot of diplomacy, it takes negotiation, it takes building alliances, it takes working Connect Savannah: Your faith is important to with neighboring countries you and you talk about of Iraq, it takes talking to it a lot.

Jim Nelson: We’ve gotten tremendous feedback. African-American voters in this district are really motivated this year -- they’re really pushing hard to get out the vote. They’re another group of people that have been left behind. Black unemployment was way down under Clinton, but under Bush it’s back up in the double-digit range. I’ve had the opportunity to preach in several churches down in Brunswich. I was invited to preach in Shiloh Baptist Church -that’s E.C. Tillman’s church, he’s a civil rights leader from way back. Many governors of our state have been in that pulpit. I’ve got good relationships with NAACP chapters throughout the district. Connect Savannah: Were you surprised to see Kingston on TV pushing back so aggressively on the Mark Foley scandal? Jim Nelson: He called it “election year silliness” -- I didn’t find anything silly about it. He was circling the wagons, saying Democrats brought this up. I wish it had been a Democrat who brought it up. Someone needed to expose what was happening. We need to hold representatives to a higher standard than the rest of society. Connect Savannah: What do you say to demoralized Democrats who’ve had their hearts broken the past several elections? Jim Nelson: I’d say hang in there, keep voting, keep spreading the word. They’ve got to get their friends out, and talk about the issues that are really important. We can’t allow voter apathy to keep us from changing the system. w To comment e-mail us at letters@connectsavannah.com

Ya can’t beet fall I’d rather get my trusty cast-iron skillet hot (though now that I’m cooking on a gas stove these days the skillet heats up so quickly I have to reverse the order of things), slice the beets (or the narrow, faintly purple finger-shaped potatoes someone termed fingerling potatoes, carrots, parsnips, onions) thin, add a little canola oil to the pan, toss in the quarter-thin roots, listen for the sizzle, locate a wooden spoon to toss them around, maybe squeeze in a lemon or two or what was left in last night’s wine glass or some Bragg Liquid Aminos (which I use instead of salt) and stir, frequently. When all that is melding and fusing I crush some garlic I just pulled from my 38th Street garden, garlic I planted last year right about this time, and toss into the mix. Sometimes I pitch in a pinch of water. Then I turn down the heat, add at the last minute the beet greens and the chopped beet stems and cover the ensemble for a few minutes. But depending on how thin I slice the vegetables and how vigilant I am at stirring, there are occasions I don’t even need the water. That way the vegetables are crunchy, which is good too. It’s amazing how fast the thinly sliced potatoes cook, especially the lovely Yukon gold. Afterwards, I might add a little arugula, which is also a great and easy fall vegetable green to grow (but be prepared; it keeps on producing), some goat cheese, maybe some walnuts or raisins, and voila, an autumn delicacy. The colors alone are magnifique! I’ve also shredded the vegetables, which really turns your hands a nice shade of pinkish crimson red - and gets you in shape for shredding potatoes for Chanukah latkes. This works especially well with beets, though when my cousin Maggie shreds beets she says she eats them raw. That way she doesn’t have to worry about any of the vitamins or flavor leaching out in the water. But I don’t bother worrying about leaching. It’s enough I’m eating beets, right? And I don’t worry about the sugar content about which many popular diets that count calories love to bring up, especially when it comes to carrots. Beets they hardly bother to mention - who eats beets except from a can or on a buffet table? - even though beets carry a higher sugar content than carrots. “Too much sugar,” they say. Well, it’s Halloween. It’s winter. It’s dark. I’m going to get my sugar one way or another, I can tell you that. Better it should come from root vegetables than O’Henry candy bars. w To comment, e-mail us at letters@connectsavannah.com

Correct me if I’m wrong, but if the time has changed and we have fallen backwards, if evening dusk comes an hour or two sooner, if the skies seem clearer, the air drier and the moon brighter, we must be smack in the middle of beet season. Which is all right by me. I love those little gnarly, rooty, pithy things that last forever in the back of your vegetable drawer (and sometimes on your hands and in your white t-shirts and in your floral dish towels) because like potatoes and turnips and parsnips and carrots and even rutabagas, all cousins and half-cousins and kissing cousins to beets, most of the time you forget they are even around. They are that forgiving, that solid, that universal. They are that quiet, that undemanding. Even the names from whence they spring - tubers, tap roots, rhizomes, corms - inspire confidence. There’s no mush with underground vegetables. No easy spoilage or rotten centers or delicate shelf life, either. They are all reminders - in case you needed to be reminded - that summer is history (put a fork in it; it is over and done) and we need to start thinking about dressing in layers when we go outside. Root vegetables are pure October and until a sudden overnight gush of cold air and possible frost, pure November. And like autumn, like the turning leaves of oaks, maples, honey locusts and elms, like the colors of Halloween and Thanksgiving, root vegetables are all orange and yellow and golden and red. No pastels allowed. I have yet to go into a restaurant and not order borscht if I see it on the menu. Not any two dishes are the same. But as someone in The Joy of Cooking said, there are as many kinds of borscht as there are Russians. I thought that but didn’t say it to a Russian woman who was giving me a pedicure. But I did get her to say in her wonderful Eastern European accent, “I luf beets.” Because I’m impatient and I don’t like to plan meals or menus, I used to consider it a chore to cook with root vegetables, thinking because they were so firm and compact they needed to take a long time to cook, thinking they needed to be roasted or boiled or baked. But since I don’t make huge quantities of food at one time, something about heating up the oven disturbs me and requires too much advance planning - unless my kitchen is freezing and I welcome the heat.

While leaving the Bryan Street parking garage, an officer observed a pickup truck traveling down the ramp without its headlights on. The vehicle turned the wrong way and attempted to exit on the Drayton Street side. The area was clearly marked that it was not a regular exit. The officer got on his P.A. and told the driver he was going the wrong way. The man was slow to respond and nearly backed into the officer’s vehicle, so the officer turned on the blue lights and approached the truck. When the officer attempted to speak to the man, he said, “I’m sorry, officer, I’m drunk.” The officer detected a strong odor of alcohol about the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The driver’s eyes were red and glassy. He was told to step out of the truck and walk to the officer’s vehicle. The man said he had someone on his cell phone who could come pick him up. The officer replied, “No, they can pick up the truck.” The man said, “Oh, well, I know I’m drunk, so let’s go to jail.” The officer told him to calm down and explained why he was stopped. The officer asked the man, “Why were you driving?” The man said it was because neither of his passengers could think about driving, but he was “stupid enough to drive.” The officer replied, “You couldn’t call a cab?” to which the man responded that he’d been trying to call a friend, but she didn’t respond to his calls until he was leaving. At that point, one of the man’s friends staggered out of the vehicle and was told to get back inside the truck. The driver asked if he could park the truck and the three of them walk home, and was told that he shouldn’t have been driving. The man agreed. At that point, one of the man’s friends started the truck. The officer told him to shut it off. During the conversation, the officer noticed the strong odor of alcohol coming from the man’s breath. He asked him, “How much have you had to drink today?” The man replied, “I’ve had too much.” The officer asked, “How much is too much?” The man said, “I’ve been here since 10:30 p.m. I’m not going to lie to you. I’m drunk. I’m not going to bulls--t you.” The man was then asked, “How long has it been since you had your last drink?” He replied that he had eaten pizza and it had been longer than 45 minutes since he’d had a drink. At that point, the officer asked the man if he would be willing to be tested for alcohol. The man failed a breathalyzer test and was arrested.
• An officer was working off-duty at a local mall when he was flagged down by two women. One of the women was talking on a cell phone. She also was holding a small tape recorder and had the phone on speaker. The officer could hear a very upset male voice on the other end. The woman also was upset, and continued to talk on the phone and record the conversation. The other woman told the officer that the woman was speaking to her ex-husband, and that he was threatening her. She was recording the conversation in case he harmed her at a later time. After the phone conversation was over, the woman said her ex had done physical harm to her in the past, but she hadn’t reported it. She was afraid that he would hurt her again. Both women said the man had told her he would take her to court, that “something” would happen to her and that she “will pay for it.” She said she had taken out a restraining order on him in the past, and the officer advised her to do it again. The officer also told the woman to keep recording future phone calls to use as evidence. She was given a case report number, as well. An officer was called to an area of Quacco Road in reference to a suspicious vehicle. Upon arrival, the officer saw the vehicle appeared to be unsecured and abandoned. It was checked for owner verification and to make sure it wasn’t stolen, and the vehicle came back clear. The vehicle was owned by a local car rental agency. A rental agreement was retrieved through the passenger side window. Contact was made with the company, which was advised of the vehicle’s location and current situation. w

Campaign Roundup
Youth cheerleading coach Christine Smith was dismissed in September by the Frederick (Md.) Youth Sports Association for a sideline gesture she said was to re-energize her 7- and 8-year-old girls when their football team fell behind. Smith drew a smiley face on her stomach, which she said they found “hilarious,” but allegedly three people complained of the unseemliness of Smith’s lifting her shirt slightly, to draw the face. Said association president Kathy Carey, “(P)ulling your shirt up is ... not what our organization is about.” Akira Haraguchi, 60, spent 16 straight hours on Oct. 4 reciting the value of pi from memory to 100,000 decimal places, breaking his old record of 83,431. Haraguchi, whose day job is psychiatric counselor, performed in front of officials at a public hall in Kisarazu, Japan, and rattled off the numbers continuously except for a five-minute break every hour. (In 2002, two University of Tokyo
mathematicians, using a supercomputer, calculated pi to 1.24 trillion decimal places.) Civilization in Decline: (1) In October, Britain’s public health minister said she had been warned by counselors that some pregnant teenagers were purposely smoking in order to make their babies smaller so that childbirth would be less painful.

They were sent back to Moscow but later were trying to leave the country again when Russian guards at the Ukraine border took them into custody.
Updates
Two News of the Weird old-timers made the news recently: H. Beatty Chadwick, jailed for contempt of court in 1995 for failure to hand over assets to his ex-wife after their divorce (because he claims not to have control of them), has now passed Day 4,100 in a county lock-up outside Philadelphia, according to an ABC News report. And Massachusetts inmate Michelle Kosilek, who was Robert Kosilek when he went to prison, is now awaiting a federal court decision on whether the prison system must fund the final-step surgery in his gender switch. Kosilek says being trapped in a man’s body is agonizing: “The greatest loss is the dying I do inside a little bit every day.” (Kosilek’s wife, though, did all her dying at once, when Robert murdered her in 1990.)

FILM FESTIVAL, OPENING NIGHT:
crowd at The Trustees took in one of the more unique American Westerns lensed in decades. 2005’s The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada —the feature film directorial debut of Tommy Lee Jones— received rapturous applause from a mostly rapt audience, many of whom stuck around afterwards for an intriguing Q&A session with Jones and screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga. Immediately prior to the film, Jones strode across the stage of the Trustees to accept his Lifetime Achievement Award for Acting. Visibly uncomfortable, the notoriously shy actor spoke briefly of his newfound love for the city of Savannah, and joked that despite receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award, he felt that in the wake of his criticallyacclaimed directorial debut, that his career as a filmmaker was just beginning. During the post-show Q&A, he and his friend Arraga fielded a host of questions from the audience which ranged from the probing to the inane — including one diehard fan’s interest in how Jones chose what brand and style of cowboy boots to wear in his films. Later on, he ducked in and out of the official reception at SCAD’s Red Gallery accross Broughton Street (where a large group of festival participants, guests and media types ate and drank to the sounds of the Ben Tucker Trio), staying just long enough to chat briefly with admirers and pose for a couple of informal snapshots. -- Jim Reed

Editor, Most people have now realized that the Iraq invasion was based on lies and they want a solution to end this massacre of our troops and gasoline price gouging, along with numerous other wrongs. We can quickly win the illegal war in Iraq if we eliminate the cause of Iraq’s civil war insurgency. The Sunnis and Shiites do not trust each other because of past history. To eliminate the problem, require a change in Iraq’s Constitution to create four law-making political groups, Shiites, Sunnis, Kurds, and Christians, to prevent abuse, at least 15 representatives, equal in each group, with each group having veto power over decisions made by the majority, executive orders, and judiciary. The Bush Corruption Gang, including the rubber stamp Congress, has created fear based on lies and falsely convinced people to vote for them to make us safe. Bush kept his wars going to win elections with fear. To create more fear, Bush insulted and threatened Iran and North Korea. They deliberately created thousands of new terrorists. We must help Michael J. Fox and Congress get the discarded Stem Cells into research to prevent and cure devastating diseases. To awakened Republican voters and swing voters: We MUST make a full change in Congress and repair the Bush Corruption Gang damage. History proves Democrats are always better at defending our country with better economy, employment, prosperity, less inflation, no costly Federal debt explosions, (Bush’s five years added $2.742 trillion).

When he was presented with an Outstanding Achievement in Cinema award Saturday evening, Guillermo Arriaga confided that not only was he on the verge of tears, “I’m shaking... I now have new friends in Savannah. I hope everyone at SCAD will become my friend.” One of the first things Arriaga asked Danny Filson, festival executive director, was if there was a hunting store in Savannah. That’s how Arriaga came to spend part of the day Saturday at Bass Pro Outdoors World. Arriaga praised Savannah’s character and personality. “It’s wonderful to walk and find squares every two or three blocks,” he said. “This city was built for the enjoyment of life.” Arriaga said his screenplay for Babel was intended not just to show how people live in different cultures, but how similar we all are in spite of those differences. “Human beings have much more in common than differences,” he said. “I’m very optimistic about the human condition.” -- Linda Sickler

many years ago, most notably with Olivier. So most of the great English actors are now queuing up to play Iago. Connect Savannah: Kes, many actors have chosen to play Othello as almost unbelievably naive. How are you handling the gullible aspect of his character?

Kes Khemnu: I prefer to see him more as blinded by his own brilliance, by his own greatness. You have to understand that’s why he was written to be a general. He was also written to be an extreme foreigner. There’s this specific town that’s surviving only because of his presence there.
Savannah Shakespeare Festival stages Othello in Forsyth Park this weekend For years, Savannahians became used to City Lights Theatre’s yearly homage to The Bard, the Savannah Shakespeare Festival. From humble beginnings on Washington Square -- outside what was then the front porch of Jim Holt and Jody Chapin, who began the festival as “Shakespeare on the Square” -- the annual show progressed on to Telfair Square for a brief while, before settling on a more-or-less permanent home (and packed crowds) in Forsyth Park. City Lights Theatre is no more, but the Shakespeare Festival carries on through the efforts of Joshua Stafford, a young theatre enthusiast and former Army Ranger who formed a nonprofit group specifically to ensure the festival’s continued existence. This Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the Savannah Shakespeare Festival brings the classic tragedy Othello to life in Forsyth Park, a production helmed by guest director Jane McCulloch, a theatre professional of some reknown in her native England. After a long association with the Prospect Theatre Company and the London Old Vic Theatre, McCulloch started the English Chamber Theatre in 1985, which boasts Dame Judi Dench as President. While the “new” Shakespeare Festival continues the City Lights tradition of community involvement and deep respect for the source material, Stafford has added some twists. All actors are paid this time around - a comparative novelty for Savannah theatre -- and not all talent is purely local. The title role, for example, is played by Kes Khemnu, a Yale drama grad with extensive theatre experience in the northeast. Sabrina Sikes, who plays Desdemona, has family nearby but currently lives in L.A. The key role of Iago is played by a recent arrival to Savannah, Mark Niebuhr, who has an extensive Shakespearean resume, including Broadway and Off-Broadway productions in New York City. Also adhering to longstanding local tradition, this weekend’s Shakespeare Festival features a wide variety of family-friendly activities and performances, including Re-
Connect Savannah: Another trend, thankfully passed, is to portray Iago’s focus on Othello with a certain amount of homoeroticism. Kes Khemnu: There’s a sense of longing, but that kind of jealousy can easily be interpreted by an audience as homoerotic. While interesting, that certainly can’t be surprising. But the way I see it, Othello is not Iago’s friend. Their relationship is strictly a hierarchical, military situation. Connect Savannah: I’m curious as to how you out-of-towners became associated with this production. Mark, you were working in New York. How’d you end up here?
Sabrina Sikes (Desdemona) rehearses with Kes Khemnu (Othello) naissance dancing, appearances by Angela Beasley’s Puppet People, and the period tunes of local songster Jamie Keena. We recently spoke with director McCulloch, Khemnu, Sikes, Niebuhr, and local actor Patrick J. Saxon -- who plays Othello’s vainglorious fellow officer Cassio -- one afternoon during a break in their rehearsals.
where all his plans are developing in his mind. You can almost see the wheels turning. The audience almost identifies with him as they see him coming up with his plan.
Connect Savannah: Let’s start with the classic Othello question: Shouldn’t the play actually be called “Iago?”
Mark Niebuhr: It’s a lot of lines! I love the verse, but I mostly enjoy the prose. It’s hardest to memorize, because you don’t have that rhythm.
Kes Khemnu (Othello): I don’t mind if people think that. Iago certainly yaps the most. He runs his mouth the most. And as opposed to everyone else, he talks to the audience. So in a sense he becomes the personification of the audience. But clearly, the total arc of Othello’s character, from beginning to end, obviously has the more visceral, emotional experience. Mark Niebuhr (Iago): Where does that end? Using that logic you’d have to call Romeo and Juliet “Mercutio and Juliet.” The great thing about Othello is his passion, and that still drives the play to a great extent. I think it works for Iago to be in the background working his little machinations,
Connect Savannah: Is it just my imagination or does Iago have an incredibly large amount of lines?
Jane McCulloch: I believe he may have the most lines of any Shakespearean character. Many scholars consider that scene to the best single scene Shakespeare ever wrote -- Act 3, Scene 3, where Iago starts placing the seeds of doubt in Othello’s mind. It’s extraordinary the way the play is written, the way Iago sort of reels in his fish. He does it with such ingenuity -- it’s terrifying, yet you can’t take your eyes off of it. It’s so believable. Iago is fascinating. The entire play he’s like a pressure cooker about to go off. That much anger cannot be contained. It’s interesting, because you know in England it’s illegal now for white actors to play Othello in blackface, as was common
Mark Niebuhr: My wife and I had our first child in 2000. Then 9/11 happened, and my wife wasn’t too happy about staying up there, with me always going to auditions on the subway and all that. So at one point we vacationed down here and decided to stay. It was basically like closing your eyes and looking at a map. Connect Savannah: Was it really that easy to walk away from New York theatre? Mark Niebuhr: I didn’t enjoy it anymore, to tell you the truth. A lot of the fun is gone. Rehearsals have become so much shorter. It used to be you’d rehearse four or five weeks for a three-week run. Now you rehearse three weeks for a two-week run. It’s all being driven by economics, keeping down costs. Connect Savannah: Kes? Kes Khemnu: I’m basically a New York actor who happens to live in Philadelphia. From Philly I go to other places, doing Shakespeare and other things. I do a lot of summer theatre in Connecticut. I was about to commit to a production there when about three days before I found out about Othello being done here. I’ve done Othello before, about five years ago.

Sabrina Sikes (Desdemona): I went to school at FSU. Then I moved to London, and then I moved to LA. I’m from Statesboro, and I happened to be in town when the day after I got here I saw an ad in the paper for auditions. While in school I studied a lot of classics. So while at first I felt some cold feet, once I got involved I got a lot more comfortable. Connect Savannah: The interplay between Othello and Iago is central to this play. Where does Desdemona fit in? Sabrina Sikes: She certainly gets the brunt of the drama. I think she’s very brave, actually.

The chosen ones
Telfair Art Fair brings in more than 100 artists to show and sell their work
Autumn Trails, Laura W. Adams Could there be any doubt that Savannah is a haven for artists? If so, a look at the list of local artists accepted into the 12th Annual Telfair Art Fair should settle the matter once and for all. A strict jurying process is used to select participants, who come from all across the United States. In the end, more than 100 were chosen for this year’s fair, and nearly half come from Savannah. Not only is the show difficult to get into, it’s even harder to win an award. Yet one Savannah resident was awarded the Best of Show award in 2003. And in 2005, Marcus Kenney was awarded the Best in Show award -- again. His reaction was honest, if not typical. “Oh, no, not again!” is how he remembers it. “They’re gonna think this is rigged!” Once he recovered from the shock, Kenney was thrilled. It’s an honor to win -- and the money ain’t bad, either. But what keeps Kenney coming back to the Telfair Art Fair is the quality of the show. “I feel a shift happening in the art fair that’s moving towards more contemporary fine art,” he says. “I’m not sure if the Telfair is wanting to move in that direction, but I’m certainly advocating it, as are the judges,” Kenney says. “Having won first place two out of the past three years and second place the other year, I think the judges themselves are sending that message. They certainly aren’t choosing the

Eclipse, Lynn Mayes guy who carves and paints wooden ducks - no offense, but the patrons are starving for contemporary work at the fair.” With such an attitude, the fair can only continue to grow, Kenney says. “I envision the Telfair Art Fair evolving into something really special, even on a national level. But it’s gonna take someone who’ll make a lot of tough decisions.” This year’s Telfair Art Fair is set for Nov. 4 and 5 in Telfair Square. Not only are artworks displayed, they’re available for sale. Each participating artist is unique. Kenney has exhibited his photography to wide acclaim, but it’s his paintings that have generated the most excitement throughout the U.S. and England. Kenney collects old, discarded printed material, which he meticulously assembles into works that are whimsical, but disturbing. He addresses controversial topics of the day in images made of materials as diverse as wallpaper, photographs, newsprint, cigar labels, even marble dust. He finds his materials “in thrift stores, children’s books, Auto Zone, occasionally the Web, but mostly donations from friends.” “I can get really excited by the most ridiculous things, like a piece of paper that has a scribble on it,” Kenney says. “Let’s see.This is the material list for a painting I just finished: vintage wallpaper, paint-by-number sets, marble dust, vinyl, acrylic, cigar labels,
Ascocenda, P.A. Kessler
William Armstrong’s Water Tower children’s book cut-outs, personal papers, cancelled checks, tape, stickers, car decals, pencil and medium on canvas. That’s just in one painting.” While Kenney’s been known to scour back alleys and even Dumpsters for materials, he also buys stuff. “I buy decals from Auto Zone, wallpaper from Home Depot, stickers from Party Central, and I’m certainly not a stranger at Primary Art Supply,” he says. “I come across material everywhere,” Kenney says. “It helps having three kids. I’ve even utilized my son’s homework assignments.” The most unusual material he’s used in a painting? “Probably my own hair,” Kenney says. Next spring, a solo exhibit of Kenney’s work, titled Topics in American History Vol. 1, will be presented at the Jepson Center. He’s still considering and debating whether or not to include photography. “I’m officially retired from photography, but my background is in photography and I think it’s affected what I do,” Kenney says. “I just couldn’t keep up that intensity that being a photographer requires. Now I’m able to leave the studio at a decent time and hang my Artist Hat up and have somewhat of a normal family life. I couldn’t do that when I was taking pictures. I enjoy the making instead of the taking now.”
Slingshot Boy, Lorie Corbus
Macassar Eboy, John Diamond At the other end of the spectrum is Lacey B. Campbell, a 24-year-old student at the Savannah College of Art and Design. This is her first time at the Telfair Art Fair. Originally from Moberly, Mo., Campbell came to SCAD because of its furniture design program. “Furniture design wasn’t something my family looked as a real major, so I studied ceramics at the University of Northwestern Missouri,” she says. “I think the sculptural aspect of furniture design is what most interests me. You can interact with furniture.” Campbell makes mostly chairs. “I work with metal, but I’ve used wood and I really enjoy plastics and resins,” she says. “Ideas can come from anything. The negative space is what intrigues me.” Starting with an idea or a shape, Campbell makes a rough draft, then a model. “If you can make furniture from paper, you can make it from sheet metal,” she says. “From the model, I’ll adjust the idea or even scratch the entire project. Usually the process is looking at it, thinking about it, then making it.” Each chair takes Campbell about one or two months to make, working four to five hours a day. “There’s a lot of cutting, grinding and sanding,” she says. “The finishing takes a large amount of time, too.” Eventually, Campbell wants to work with a furniture design firm or an interior designer. “I think it may be a little more like

Feature are amazing. I’m walking a fine line between scientific illustration and fine art.” Marie Donze will drive up from Fort Lauderdale to show her work. “I was looking on the Internet and saw the Telfair web site,” she says. “I submitted pictures, but didn’t hear anything. I thought, ‘I tried, but I wasn’t accepted.’ Then I received a letter that said, ‘Congratulations!’ I was jumping all over the place.” Donze has developed her own technique of reverse painting on glass. The Rise “There are many other and the people who paint on Fall, glass, but I do it totally Marcus different,” she says. “I Kenney use paint and gold leaf and layer my work, layer after layer. There can be 10 to 15 layers in one piece. It’s pretty abstract, but to me it all comes together.” A native of France, Donze has been in the U.S. for about 10 years. “I have no background in art, but I always loved to paint and use my hands,” she says. “I went to high school and one year of college and studied international business, but I realized it wasn’t where my heart was.” For years, Donze’s creativity lay dormant. Ironically, it was reborn because of misfortune. “My ex-husband and I decided to buy a 10unit apartment building,” she says. “What we found was that many of the tenants weren’t paying rent and it had all been covered up. “We had to evict a lot of people and use the money for repairs to pay the mortgage,” Donze says. “We did the repairs ourselves. “When you lack money, it’s the mother of creativity,” she says. “I found out I could use my hands. I learned how to do faux finishing on cabinets, how to lay tile and how to do landscaping. I worked 15-hour days. “Even though it was tough, it made me realize I wanted to make my living through my creativity.” w

P.A. Kessler of Hilton Head Island will be showing her watercolor botanical art at the Telfair Art Fair. “I’ve been a painter for 30 years, and I’ve been a botanical artist for about that time,” she says. Kessler’s work is known for its painstaking attention to detail. “In college, I had a focus on print making, with a lot of etching,” she says. “They make you pay a lot of attention to detail. I had an instructor my last semester who introduced me to botanical art. I like the scientific aspect of botanicals and want to carry that to people so they will pay more attention to plants.” A native of Michigan, Kessler loves examining everything she paints. She has lived in the Lowcountry for the past two years. “My husband and I were looking for a lifestyle change,” Kessler says. “We were looking up and down the East Coast. As we passed the Hilton Head exit, my husband said, ‘Don’t you have an aunt and uncle here whom you haven’t seen in a long time? How about making a surprise visit?’ We looked at each other and said, ‘Why don’t we think about this?’” After seeing an ad for the Telfair Art Fair, Kessler decided to enter. “I’d just gone through the new museum, and thought I’d give it a try,” she says. Kessler paints about eight hours a day. “I get lost in what I do,” she says. “I become obsessed with it.” Now Kessler has a new obsession. “I’m starting to do insects,” she says. “They’re as intriguing as plants. When you start looking at an insect under a magnifying light, they

freelance, yet I would still have some solid ground to work from,” she says. So far, Campbell has participated in an art fair in Marysville, Mo., a couple of student group shows and completed two commissions. “I’m very fresh to the market,” she says. Campbell was invited by the Telfair to participate. “Someone who had seen my work e-mailed me and asked me to participate,” she says. “I knew it was a pretty big deal. I jumped all over it!” However, Campbell’s a bit worried about the loading and unloading she’ll have to do. “The lightest thing I make weighs 75 pounds, while the heaviest weighs 200 pounds,” she says.

BORAT: CULTURAL LEARNINGS OF AMERICA FOR MAKE BENEFIT GLORIOUS NATION OF KAZAKHSTAN
They say that ignorance is bliss, but
when it comes to Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, it just might prove to be a handicap. Although it’s not quite the most buzzed about movie of 2006, as Newsweek reported a few weeks ago (have they already forgotten about that migraine-inducer called Snakes On a Plane?), the media coverage has been substantial enough that Borat stands poised to possibly emerge as a breakout hit. Originally conceived as a character on HBO’s Da Ali G Show, Borat Sagdiyev is a Kazakh journalist who comes to America to make a documentary. There’s your plot. Yet what makes Borat different is that creator-star Sacha Baron Cohen, who plays the insensitive and language-mangling journalist, never breaks character, interviewing scores of ordinary Americans who genuinely believe that they’re being questioned by a foreign reporter for a nonfiction piece that would presumably remain confined to the backwaters of a country on the other side of the globe. This naiveté and belief in anonymity allow the participants to open up more freely to Borat, often garnering controversial results. And therein lies the dilemma. If Borat is staged in any way, then it’s a hotand-cold “mockumentary” that pales next to

the Christopher Guest titles (Best In Show, A Mighty Wind); despite many uproarious moments, it stretches its one-joke concept to the breaking point, and after about an hour, you’ll be satisfied. And indeed, there are a handful of sequences that feel staged: the Pamela Anderson interlude, for example, or a bit involving a flailing horse. Yet the filmmakers have loudly and repeatedly insisted that everything outside of Borat and his manager (played by Ken Davitian) is authentic in the picture: the situations, the interviewees, and the reactions of ordinary folks to Borat’s outrageous antics. If that’s the case, then Borat is borderline genius, an inspired piece of guerilla filmmaking that’s able to gauge the real pulse of America and unearth some unpleasant (if hardly surprising) truths. The movie uses fictional bigotry (Borat’s) to reveal the real-life prejudices that blot the U.S. landscape, and, in that regard, it emerges as an unexpected piece of sociopolitical muckraking. Cohen is fearless in his confrontations with various citizens across our land, whether he’s telling a crowd of rodeo yahoos that he supports our War on Terror and longs for the day when Bush will “drink the blood of every man, woman and child in Iraq,” or when he hands a dinner hostess a napkin containing his bodily refuse because he doesn’t grasp the functionality of the toilet and the principles of indoor plumbing. Borat is often convulsively, savagely funny (once seen, it’s impossible to block out the nude wrestling match), but beneath the scatology and mockery rests a knowingness about the manner in which societal prejudices can be hidden, diverted and even encouraged. In that regard, this is one smart movie.
THE QUEEN1/2
Whether or not one agrees with a character’s declaration that the royal family is comprised of “freeloading, emotionally retarded nutters,” it’s fascinating to watch these upper-crust Brits play out their own sordid soap opera in The Queen, a wicked -- and wickedly good -- show that takes a highly dubious premise and somehow turns it into one of the year’s best films. Director Stephen Frears, whose last picture, the shameless Mrs. Henderson Presents, is the sort of claptrap that he’s far too talented to be handling,
and writer Peter Morgan, who co-scripted The Last King of Scotland, have performed cinematic alchemy with this sharp and swift yarn. Set mostly in the days following the death of Diana back in 1997, it focuses on the royal family’s reaction to the tragedy as well as the efforts of a newly elected prime minister to take control of the situation. It sounds like so much dreary sensationalism, a crass attempt at making a tawdry film that, frankly, would seem hard-pressed to adequately fill a 100-minute running time. Yet because Frears’ direction is nimble and Morgan’s script clever and resourceful, The Queen never bogs down in any potentially problematic areas. It manages to be both respectful and critical of the monarchy, a double-edged viewpoint that neatly reflects the attitude of the characters themselves. The films begins with the landslide victory of Tony Blair (Michael Sheen) as the new prime minister and his initial meeting with Queen Elizabeth II (Helen Mirren), who clearly has little regard for this populist politician. It picks up again a few months later, when the residents of Buckingham Palace are awoken out of their royal slumber by the news that the former princess was killed in an automobile accident in Paris while fleeing from pesky paparazzi. It only dawns on Elizabeth gradually that it’s Diana -- “the people’s princess,” as Blair calls her -- rather than Elizabeth herself who rests in the hearts of the Brits, and that there are many who think that the monarchy has outlived its relevancy and perhaps should be disbanded. Mirren’s performance is a thing of beauty. She initially makes Elizabeth as impenetrable as Fort Knox, yet as the movie moves forward, there are cracks in her demeanor that allow us to see that this woman is finally coming to terms with just how of touch with her subjects she might be.
CATCH A FIRE 1/2
The title’s a bit misleading, insofar as this well-meaning movie never really catches fire. Based on a true story that unfolded in the early 1980s, it centers on Patrick Chamusso (Derek Luke), a South African oil refinery foreman whose apolitical attitude allows him to largely fly under the radar when it comes to confrontations with the ruling white class. But after the
members of an anti-apartheid organization sabotage the refinery, suspicion falls on the innocent Patrick, and he’s soon arrested and tortured under the supervision of Nic Vos (Tim Robbins), a key figure in the country’s homeland security division. Patrick withstands the abuse, but after his wife (Bonnie Henna) is similarly snatched and interrogated, something inside him snaps and he decides to enter the fray. Director Phillip Noyce is no stranger to helming gripping films set in turbulent times and divided lands, but working from an unexceptional screenplay by Shawn Slovo (daughter of one of the film’s characters), he’s unable to duplicate the vibrancy of The Quiet American or the pathos of RabbitProof Fence -- we naturally feel for these ill-treated characters, but it’s more of a Pavlovian reaction to the on-screen brutalities rather than because of anything served up in Slovo’s surprisingly conventional script. Those seeking topicality might attempt to equate the manner in which the violent actions of the white ruling class turn peaceful blacks into freedom fighters with the way that the intrusive U.S. army is turning many peaceful Iraqis into terrorists, but it’s an awkward analogy at best.
The prestige 1/2
The Prestige, co-written and directed by the immensely talented Christopher Nolan (Batman Begins, Memento), is the third of this year’s releases centering around magicians (following Woody Allen’s Scoop and the Edward Norton sleeper hit The Illusionist), and it’s far and away the best. Teaming with his brother Jonathan to adapt Christopher Priest’s novel, Chris Nolan has crafted a dense and multilayered drama that explores his usual recurrent themes while simultaneously serving up a cracking good mystery yarn. Set in turn-of-the-century London, The Prestige casts Hugh Jackman as Robert Angier and Christian Bale as Alfred Borden, two aspiring magicians working under the tutelage of master showman Cutter (Michael Caine). Almost right from the start, it’s established that Angier is the more charismatic of the pair: gentle, romantic and extroverted enough to know how to grab an

audience’s attention. The brooding Borden, by comparison, is more inwardly directed, and his devotion to his craft suggests that he’s willing to get his hands dirty and sacrifice anything to realize his dream of becoming a master magician. The movie isn’t simplistic enough to pit a “good� magician (Angier) against an “evil� one (Borden); instead, it recognizes the duality of each man’s nature, a theme that eventually expands to a startling degree.

fighting forces during World War II manages the tricky feat of honoring the past while also subtly deflating the attendant mythology that over time attaches itself like a barnacle to a ship side.

keeping mum ď‚śď‚śď‚ś
Mary Poppins commits murder most foul in Keeping Mum, a slight but worthwhile comedy that proudly displays its droll British humor at every turn. Rowan Atkinson, toning down his Bean befuddlement just a tad, plays Walter Goodfellow, the vicar of a miniscule English burg as well as the head of a highly dysfunctional family. Walter has become so consumed with his church duties that he has emotionally and physically abandoned his wife Gloria (Kristen Scott Thomas), who in turns seeks comfort in the arms of an American horndog she employs as her golf instructor (leatherface Patrick Swayze, appropriately sleazy). Their children aren’t faring much better: 17-year-old Holly (Tamsin Egerton) sleeps with a different guy every day as a form of rebellion, while younger brother Petey (Toby Parkes) emerges as the school bullies’ favorite punching bag. But along comes housekeeper Grace (Maggie Smith) to set things right. Working behind the scenes, she improves everyone’s lot in life -- never mind that this seemingly benign lady has to kill a few people in order to foster family unity.
marie Antoinette ď‚śď‚ś1/2
The fall season’s premiere love-it-orleave-it title, Marie Antoinette was booed by French scribes at the Cannes Film Festival before being rescued by American critics, the slight majority of whom have graced it with positive reviews. Yet despite its divisive nature, I’ve managed to come down in the middle: The movie, writer-director Sofia Coppola’s first since her magnificent Lost In Translation, is better than I had expected but not as good as I had hoped. Coppola’s intention was to create a teenager for our times, a girl who just wants to have fun even though her position in the French royal court demands so much more. It’s an interesting idea that’s only partially successful, largely because Coppola doesn’t go far enough. Where Marie Antoinette fares best is its examination of the royal life as a treadmill of constantly winding boredom; the scenes in which Marie, winningly played by Kirsten Dunst, is forced to succumb to the nonsensical rules and rituals of etiquette are poignant continued on page 34

Bradley’s book), Eastwood focuses on the events surrounding the raising of the U.S. flag on Iwo Jima in 1945. The movie details how this single act, captured in a historic photograph, became a rallying point around which the military was able to energize an American nation weary of war. Publicity tours were staged with the active participation of the three surviving men who helped hoist the flag: sensitive Doc Bradley (Ryan Phillippe), outgoing Rene Gagnon (Jesse Bradford) and anguished Ira Hayes (Adam Beach). Eastwood and company view the tour as a necessary evil, a much-needed fundraiser that nevertheless leads the participating soldiers to feel increasingly uncomfortable donning the designation of “heroes� when so many of their friends have already died in combat.

Flicka 1/2
In Flicka, it isn’t a case of boy meets girl; it’s a case of boy becomes girl. Mary O’Hara’s classic novel My Friend Flicka details the relationship between a young lad and a wild horse (it was made into a 1943 movie starring Roddy McDowall); this new screen version turns the protagonist into a teenage girl, a gender switch that adds different dimensions to the story. Alison Lohman plays Katy, a strong-willed 16-year-old who locates a soulmate in a wild mustang wandering the acres on her family’s Wyoming spread. Katy’s dad Rob (Tim McGraw), already peeved that his daughter isn’t capitalizing enough on her studies at a private school, forbids the girl to have any contact with the ill-tempered horse, but Katy ignores his mandate and proceeds to train the animal behind his back. It’s refreshing to see an American family on screen that doesn’t wallow in dysfunction: While there are plenty of conflicts, the overriding sense is that these folks truly love one another, and the relationships between husband and wife and between brother and sister are especially fresh and reassuring. Unfortunately, more so than in its source material, the emphasis on the humans de-emphasizes the presence of the mustang, and there simply aren’t enough scenes illustrating the burgeoning bond between Katy and Flicka.

It’s junk like Man of the Year that makes me remember movie reviewing often isn’t just a job; it’s an adventure -- and I’m owed some serious combat pay. Merging the premises of Warren Beatty’s razorsharp Bulworth, Kevin Kline’s decent Dave and Chris Rock’s flaccid Head of State, writer-director Barry Levinson imagines what would happen if an outspoken and compassionate comedian became president of the United States. Robin Williams plays Tom Dobbs, a Jon Stewart-like TV talk show host who, after joking that he should run for office, finds himself on the ballot in 13 states. It’s a decent premise for a piercing satire, but Levinson’s approach
is so timid that it makes last spring’s soggy American Dreamz look as incendiary as a Michael Moore documentary by comparison. The main problem, of course, is Williams, who isn’t playing a fictional character running for president as much as he’s playing Robin Williams playing a fictional character running for president. In other words, it’s the same lazy performance we almost always get, with the actor groveling for laughs via his patented physical shtick and repertoire of stale jokes that were already passe around the time Roman emperors began chucking Christian standup comics to the lions.
The departed
At this point in his illustrious career, it’s hard to imagine Martin Scorsese accepting another filmmaker’s hand-me-downs. Yet in essence, that’s what’s taking place with The Departed, which isn’t an original screen story but rather a remake of a 2002 Hong Kong film titled Infernal Affairs. Working from a script by William Monahan, Scorsese has made a picture that’s more in line with such past mob morality tales as GoodFellas and Mean Streets than with his recent spate of ambitious (and Oscar-lunging) period epics like The Aviator and Gangs of New York. But while The Departed is a strong film, it’s by no means a match for any of those aforementioned titles. Set in Boston, this new take casts Jack Nicholson as Frank Costello, the crime lord with the foresight to make sure that one of his protégées, Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon), is placed in a position to be able to rise through the ranks of the Massachusetts State Police Department. Colin is eventually assigned to the special unit tasked with investigating Costello, an outfit run by the animated Captain Ellerby (Alec Baldwin). Ellerby trusts Colin, little suspecting that his right-hand man is actually the informant. Meanwhile, down the hall, the paternal Captain Queenan (Martin Sheen) and the blunt Sergeant Dignam (Mark Wahlberg) are just as determined as Ellerby to nail Costello. To that end, they assign Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) to get his hands dirty enough to convince Costello that he’s a bona fide criminal and worth adding to his band of outlaws. The violence and vulgarity -- trademarks of this sort of Scorsese outing -- are pitched at operatic levels, and even taking the milieu into consideration, they occasionally verge on overkill. So, too, does the performance by Nicholson, who begins the film as a terrifying villain but winds down as a raving buffoon. The younger actors do a better job maintaining the appropriate levels of intensity. DiCaprio is coiled and edgy, Damon alternates between charismatic and creepy, and Wahlberg (stealing the film) somehow turns surlinessinto an endearing character trait. iven their similarities, Wahlberg’s Sergeant w

the 411|Free Will Astrology ARIES (March 21-April 19): When I was in my twenties, I
refused to work for a living because I wanted to *live* for a living. As a result, I got an extended opportunity to perfect the art of cheerful poverty. One winter, while staying in a ramshackle cottage in North Carolina, my cash reserves got so low that I had to leap to a new level. For meals, I exuberantly retrieved discarded food from dumpsters behind grocery stores. For heat, I gleefully smashed up my wooden furniture with a hammer and threw it in my wood stove. I was the happiest person alive, with lots of leisure time to meditate, read books, write poetry, take long walks, and make love with my girlfriends. Be inspired by my example, Aries. Identify some aspect of your life you tend to regard as inadequate or insufficient, and redefine it to be an asset.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Courage is not the abnormal,”
wrote poet Jack Gilbert. “Not the marvelous act. Not Macbeth with fine speeches. It is the thing steady and clear. The marriage, not the month’s rapture. The beauty that is of many days. The normal excellence, of long accomplishment. Not the Prodigal Son, but Penelope.” Gilbert’s words are my gift to you, brave Taurus. Of all the signs, you best express the virtue of steady devotion to the demanding challenges of beauty and truth. In the coming week, I predict that you will dramatically prove how miraculous that quality can be.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’re a little off-kilter and out-
of-whack these days, Gemini. Don’t worry about it. It’s a natural response to recent plot twists. Fortunately, there is a medicine you can get that will fix you up pretty quickly. All you have to do is spend quality time in nature. One long hike should be enough, though to be absolutely sure you flush the psychic parasites that have been messing with you, two long hikes would be better. To aid in the exorcism and healing, I suggest that you also sing songs and shout out crazy ideas while wandering in the great outdoors. And if you can’t escape to the wild places, at least have a picnic in a park.
two levels, Beginner and Intermediate, which both meet on Wednesdays. The intermediate program is from 6:30-8 p.m. and the beginner program is from 8-9 p.m. Both classes consist of a jazz portion and a tap dance portion. The instructor is Travis Dodd.

Student massage and yoga classes are offered at the Savannah School of Massage continued on page 42
by Rob Brezsny
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Columnist Jon Carroll once list-
ed the 100 best human artifacts. They included things like clocks, screwdrivers, shoelaces, and Band-aids. But in your horoscope this week, I especially want to call your attention to the following items from his master list: pillows, mirrors, balls, masks, swings, lipstick, stirrups, playing cards, and pear nectar. There’s a good chance that these best-ever creations will be featured in the effervescent adventurers you’ll soon have. Or at least they *should* be featured.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I suggest you make yourself alert
for the return of at least one blast from the past. You may receive a communiqué from a forgotten sanctuary. A treasure that slipped from your grasp ages ago may become available again, especially if you pay close attention to borders and anomalies. Missing links may wander back in your direction, and old clues you haven’t thought of in many moons might put you hot on the trail of a smoldering mystery you’ve been neglecting to investigate.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In a number of indigenous cul-
tures, there’s the tradition of the “joking relationship.” Two members of an extended family, often a brother and sister-in-law, are expected to form a bond that revolves around them playfully teasing each other. If you don’t have an ally like that in your life, Virgo, I urge you to get one. And if you already do have such a companion, raise your connection to an even higher level of loving mischief and jocular amusement. It’ll keep you loose in just the right ways during the coming weeks and months.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “The early bird may get the
worm,” says comedian Steven Wright, “but the second mouse gets the cheese.” It’s one of those times, Libra, when I advise you to be like that second mouse. A bit of procrastination will work in your favor. I want to
offer some additional wisdom from Wright because his upside-down perspective is exactly what you need right now. (1) Eagles may soar, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines. (2) The sooner you fall behind, the more time you’ll have to catch up. (3) Hard work pays off in the future, but laziness pays off now.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Dear Mr. Sensitive Astrolo-
ger: Let’s get one thing straight. I don’t want peace of mind! So stop trying to talk me into going after it! It’s impossible to have it on this earth. Got that? And another thing. I don’t care about your time- consuming emotional resolution stuff! I’m not interested in chasing after the unrealistic goal of being a nice person. I just want pure, raw, naked success--the kind of glory that makes me feel really proud of my powerful effect on people. That’s it! So shape up and start giving me what I want in your little horrorscopes. -Truth-Telling Scorpio.” Dear Truthy: I love to help my readers achieve glory that makes them feel proud of their powerful effect on the world. But in my opinion the best way to accomplish that is by cultivating peace of mind, emotional resolution, and kindness. By the way, it’s now an excellent time to make great progress in this work.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the 18th century, the
Bastille was a notorious French prison. Its squalor was perhaps less oppressive than other jails, however, because every inmate was supplied with three bottles of wine per day. Being so continuously intoxicated, few were inclined to attempt escape. I bring this to your attention, Sagittarius, in the hope that it will serve as a warning. You are, in my opinion, overdue to flee from your own personal version of imprisonment. But you’ll be unlikely to do that if you’re drunk or stoned or otherwise in the throes of an influence that keeps you foggy, distracted, or artificially satisfied. In the interests of liberation, please keep your senses honed and your awareness focused.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your theme in the coming
days is *enchantment on demand.* You’re in an aggressively elegant grace period--a time when you have the right to insist on being delighted. It’s as if you’ve been granted a poetic license to ask for and receive not just any old mediocre pleasure, but rather intriguing, ennobling pleasure. So don’t sit back and hope that sublime fun will accidentally come your way. Know that you have the authority to command its arrival front and center.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In American psychotherapy,
the first question many practitioners ask their new clients is essentially, “What did your parents do to you to mess you up so badly?” One of my Japanese friends tells me that in his country, a therapist is more likely to ask, “What did your parents do for you? How did they nurture and support you?” Without dismissing the possibility that your mom and dad did inflict damage on you, Aquarius, I’d like you to concentrate on the Japanese-style inquiry for now. While you’re at it, meditate on these themes as well: What are the best things that happened to you when you were growing up? What did your extended family and community give you that you’ve never fully appreciated?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): *Normal People Scare Me* is
the title of a documentary movie about high-functioning autistic people. It might also serve well as the title of your life story’s current chapter. Ordinary everyday reality is your greatest enemy right now. It threatens to ensnare you in a numbing trance at the exact moment when you need to saunter off into the unknown. Habit and routine are exerting a seductive pressure that could distract you from the fascinating tests you really need to embrace. The ironic fact of the matter is that at least for the moment, you should be wary of your longing for security. w

A review of the 2006 economy and a forecast for 2007 reveal some interesting trends in real estate. While most markets anticipate a cooling down period, it’s important to understand that the hottest markets accelerated real estate to the point where an adjustment is desperately needed. It’s hard to believe that in 2005, the national average for home appreciation was over twelve percent! The market simply cannot continue to bear that figure, but appreciation will continue in the five to six percent range, and early reports indicate that this year will be among the four best ever in real estate.
Furniture
It makes sense that the very hottest markets with the very highest prices will see a fall in sales. On the other hand, strong but reasonable markets should actually begin selling faster. Basically, there’s no need for concern if listing periods remain at six months or less.
DINING ROOM SET Table and leaf. 7 upholstered chairs; lighted china cabinet with glass shelves. Brand new, still in original boxes, $4k value, sacrifice for $950. Can deliver 912-965-9652.
Of course, unknown factors can affect these trends, such as oil prices, inflation and interest rates. However, business spending remains robust in 2006, and a strong economy is anticipated to be a positive influence on real estate. While interest rates may rise a couple times in the coming year, they should still remain at or below seven percent. Considering rates were about double that twenty years ago, you can see that we’re still very optimistic about home ownership!
