China syndrome

by Jim Morekis | jim@connectsavannah.com

You never know how things are going to turn out.

A few weeks ago it seemed a foregone conclusion that the Beijing Olympics would be overshadowed by controversy, whether having to do with the host country’s hideous human rights record or its equally hideous disregard for its own and the world’s environment.

Fast forward. The 2008 Summer Olympics opening ceremony was

by far the most watched in history — and by some accounts the most amazing single live performance in history. The Chinese are such a gracious people that they cheered the American basketball team — while the Americans were whipping the Chinese team’s collective butt. Meanwhile, you hear nothing about pollution, only about competition.

And it turns out that Russia, not China, showed the lower regard for human rights with its massacre of innocent, largely proAmerican civilians in Georgia, while

President Bush impotently goofed around with athletes at the beach volleyball arena.

Yep, you just never know how things will turn out.

But the thing that has struck me the most about these Olympics — besides Michael Phelps’ almost literally superhuman abilities in the water — is the impressive modernity and sheer scale of things in China, which in some cases dwarfs anything the West seems capable of now.

Yeah, I know: It’s intended to strike me

Battling blight

City council approves ordinance intended to regulate owners of derelict properties

by Linda Sickler | linda@connectsavannah.com

It was an effort that took several months of work by city employees and Savannah City Council members, but the Derelict Rental Property Ordinance is now on the books.

Under the ordinance, approved Aug. 14, the city has the authority to regulate owners of derelict rental properties and enforce stiffer penalties to punish them when they refuse to comply.

Most council members were jubilant, but with an 8-1 vote, the decision wasn’t unanimous.

Alderman Cliffton Jones Jr. gave the lone dissenting vote.

“I just want to clarify my position on it,” Jones said. “Ever since we started to discuss this, my concern has been about the tenant.

“I find in my mind we still need to address personal responsibility,” he says. “That did not happen in this ordinance. I do not think the

tenant is being addressed in the ordinance as I think they should be.”

Before, derelict property cases went before the Recorder’s Court.

Now, they can go before the Property Maintenance Board, a new three-member board whose members will be appointed by the council.

On Aug. 15, one day after the council meeting, a call for applications from citizens interested in serving on the board went out. The board will meet monthly to hear facts presented during appeals by property owners and determine whether proper procedures were followed by the property maintenance hearing officer, as outlined in the new ordinance.

Property owners who refuse to comply with the ordinance can be fined up to $1,000 per day.

Property owners also can be cited

like that. It’s propaganda. It’s a dog-andpony show by a totalitarian government. Of course it is.

Still, there’s no denying the chilling effect of realizing that a nation comprising onefifth of all humanity is no longer the rural backwater our school textbooks portrayed it as. The scenes of modern architecture and rapidly liberalizing city life in Beijing would not have been out of place in Tokyo, Hong Kong, London, or Berlin, and in many cases made even large American cities seem like — well, like backwaters.

So while some of the fireworks at the opening ceremonies may have been “digitally enhanced,” i.e., faked, and the cute little girl who sang was really lip-synching, and we can’t really know what’s going on because all the journalists are censored — there’s no denying that another torch has been passed, one besides just the Olympic torch.

for health/safety of a third party violations, with penalties of more than $1,000 per day.

“It has been the priority of the city council to obliterate blight in the city,” City Manager Michael Brown says. “A lot of the blight is associated with rental property.

This ordinance will reduce blight.”

“I hope we have enough people on the streets to help enforce this,” Alderman Mary Osborne said. “Ordinances written without any enforcement are useless. We need inspectors to go out and find these properties.”

Alderman Edna Jackson said the council’s action will be noted in other communities that will be watching to see how the city handles rental properties. “This ordinance will make the city one of the first to take a stand to ensure quality of life in the community,” she said.

Mayor Otis Johnson said that the passage of the ordinance is the second of three priorities the council has addressed. The first was the city’s alcohol ordinance and the third will be a parental responsibility ordinance, which the council has already begun work on. He said hopefully there would be enough applicants for the new property management board that the council cab=n take action at

its Aug. 28 meeting and appoint members to the board.

The board will be busy. “We already have cases in mind,” Brown said. “We’re not going to be picking on anybody. We’re going to be dealing with egregious, flagrant violations. We should be able to take cases through in a matter of weeks.”.

At its July 31 meeting, council members outlined some of the more troublesome violations. Savannah has slumlords, Alderman Tony Thomas said.

“Whether they want to be called slumlords or not, they make people live in substandard conditions we can’t believe are occurring,” he said.

Alderman Van Johnson recounted two cases. “One lady was living in the dark, taking her bodily waste and throwing it in the back yard,” he said.

In the second case, the top floor of the house had no utilities.

“When the dust came down in the apartment downstairs, you could hear literally hundreds of bats above your head,” Johnson said.

“It was a scary feeling. It was a victimization of the very people we’re sworn to protect. If they complained, the landlord put them out. If we don’t advocate, it affects everything we are.”

Wolves at the door

Education center or zoo? User-friendly changes at Oatland provoke debate

by Lanie Lippincott Peterson | laniepeterson@comcast.net

Oatland Island director Chris Gentile is showing a visitor around his latest exhibit when a shaggy wolf appears behind them.

About a foot away, the gray wolf takes offense at the intruders. He glares at them with dark eyes. Showing his sharp fangs, he curls his upper lip. And he growls.

A few months ago, Oatland Island’s wolves often hid in the bushes or sprawled on the ground, l00 yards away as visitors tried in vain to see them from a wooden ramp at the end of their enclosure.

But under Gentile’s direction, Oatland workers have just remodeled the wolf enclosure. Now, about $145,000 later, the wolves are up close and personal.

On one side of their enclosure is an 900-square-foot cabin and viewing area for visitors. Inside, most of one wall is lined with thick, ¾-inch glass — so Oatland’s visitors can stand nose to nose with the wolves.

The view is both fascinating and unsettling. “One wolf kind of looked at me like I was his next meal,” says Bucky Burnsed, senior director of communication for the Savannah-Chatham County School District, who got a preview of Oatland’s new Wolf Wilderness exhibit this summer.

Scheduled to open Aug. 21, this exhibit will feature not only the animal park’s six wolves but also some new arrivals — armadillos, Mexican shorttailed fruit bats, a peregrine falcon, an indigo snake and, for young “researchers“ to examine, a “wolf kill site“ that includes man-made deer bones and fabricated “wolf poop.“ All over Oatland Island, Gentile has made changes lately. Hired by the school district in January, 2007 to bring new life to the wildlife center, Gentile has created new exhibits for alligators and cranes and hired a fulltime veterinarian for the center’s newly-built animal health center.

Arguing that the wildlife center was “stagnating” before he got here, the energetic Gentile still has many plans to move it forward.

But if Wolf Wilderness wins accolades, some longtime Oatland supporters are concerned by one of Gentile’s future projects: to recreate prehistoric Georgia by displaying animals that lived here long ago.

Gentile ticks off the species he’d like to exhibit: “rhinoceros, tapirs, cheetahs,“ he says.

In addition, Oatland’s website mentions other animals. Beside a headline that proclaims, “The future is now,“ it lists a lion and a tiger.

All of these animals lived in Southeast Georgia eons ago, in the post-Cenozoic era, before the last ice age, Gentile says. He adds that by viewing these animals at Oatland, visitors will be able to feel a sense of awe as they come face to face with the past.

Some longtime Oatland Island supporters don’t see it that way. They say such an exhibit would derail the wildlife center‘s longtime mission of promoting native animals — and turn the place into a zoo.

“I feel like we have enough zoos without adding another one,“ says Venetia Butler, the former environmental science coordinator for city schools and also a former Oatland staffer who worked under the center’s founder, Tony Cope.

Under Cope, Oatland’s slogan was “It’s the natural place to be,” Butler says; Cope believed that every new exhibit should promote indigenous animals of Georgia.

By contrast, the proposed exhibit is inappropriate, she says. “We are not a tropical rainforest,” Butler says. “And I don’t think we should be building one.”

Environmentalist and artist Mallory Pearce agrees. About a year ago, Pearce relates, he expressed concern to Gentile about the exotic animals. Instead of bringing exotic animals here, Pearce

news & opinion AUG 20-AUG 26, 2008 | WWW.CONNECTSAVANNAH.COM

education

suggested creating murals of prehistoric Georgia. But “he sort of brushed me off,” Pearce remembers.

Also Pearce noted, the wildlife center has a large collection of magnolia trees that were supposed to be preserved. But if new animal exhibits were created, “the forest would be cut down,” Pearce warns.

Retired chemist Jim Miles also wasn‘t happy to hear that Gentile wanted to add exotic animals to the wildlife center’s collection.

“The best course of action is not to bring them,” says Miles, who worked on this island, at the Centers for Disease Control, before the land became a wildlife center.

Several critics noted that Gentile has spent his career working for zoos — in Boston, Providence, Cincinnati and recently Columbia, S.C. — so it makes sense that he wants to turn the 34-year-old wildlife center into a zoo.

But city schools academic chief Jacqueline Chavis denies that Gentile or any one at the school district intended to turn Oatland Island into a zoo.

Although Gentile is seeking to have the center accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums by 2010, “it’s going to be a learning center, with wildlife,” says Chavis.

By 1990, for instance, students from the Woodville-Tompkins career school will go to Oatland for classes on animal life, including animal husbandry and already, Gentile has established internships at Oatland for some local university students.

Also backing Gentile’s plans, longtime Oatland volunteer Serena Nasworthy says he is bringing needed change to the wildlife center.

“Chris is a great catalyst,” says Nasworthy, a board member of the support group, group, Friends of Oatland Island.

“He’s moving the wildlife center in a new direction,” she says — but it’s one

Chris Genitle, director of Oatland Island, leads a tour of the education center

that will keep her grandchildren interested in Oatland for years to come.

Driving a small, green cart called a Gator, Gentile heads through tall trees toward the birds of prey exhibit. But as he comes to a stop, he comments on the critics.

“There are people that don’t want Oatland Island changed at all,“ Gentile says.

By contrast, he’s hoping to create a wildlife center “that everyone can use.”

He wants more “interactive education“ here. And he believes that if he brings a tapir or a rhinoceros to Oatland, visitors can “make a connection” with the animal.

“There’s a lot of opportunity to teach about how life used to be in Georgia,“ Gentile says.

But for all the interest in native animals, Oatland’s popular gray wolves are actually not native to Georgia, Gentile notes; they’re from Minnesota, Montana and Wyoming.

Still, working with about $5 million in local sales tax money, Gentile has embarked on some projects that even some of his critics like.

One of those projects will let Oatland’s visitors take a break from the trails for lunch. Gentile is planning to offer hamburgers, hot dogs, ice cream and salad at the new Boiler Room Café, expected to cost up to $250,000 when it opens in 2009.

He’s also considering some environmental changes at the center, including using wind turbines to generate power

for some Oatland buildings.

Meanwhile, Gentile has been looking after one, very small project — a baby armadillo.

In an animal health clinic near his office, Gentile opens the door of a metal cage and picks up Rocky, the armadillo.

Eyes bright and ears perky, the animal sits quietly in Gentile’s practiced hands.

For now, Rocky is kept in the cage because he would soon go on exhibit.

“He‘s getting used to being handled,“ Gentile says.

As Gentile holds the small animal, he mentions the light brown plates on its back. And “Look at the claws!“ Gentile says excitedly as he motions to Rocky’s big, dark claws — the kind that can rip up a Southside lawn in a minute.

Gentile has liked wild animals like Rocky since he was he was a kid. Family movies show him at age 3, happily touring the Bronx Zoo in a red wagon. And as he grow up, he had plenty of pets — dogs, cats and also a ball python.

But these days, Gentile would never take an animal like Rocky home with him.

“They get better care here,” he says as, holding Rocky gently, he returns the armadillo to its cage.

Branding Oatland

Marketing challenges have dogged the wildlife center by lanie lippincott peterson | laniepeterson@comcast.net

The Oatland Island Wildife Center is only a few miles from her home, but hairdresser Kai Moser, 25, has never gone to see it.

The place doesn’t sound that interesting, the Wilmington Island resident says. “I know I pass by it all the time but I never think to stop,� she says.

And when she’s talked to friends about the wildlife center, “no one wanted to go,“ Moser says.

In a recent brochure, Oatland officials billed their 175-acre center as “one of the premier wildlife parks in the entire Southeast.�

Created in 1974 by the SavannahChatham County Public Schools, it cares for owls, deer, cougars, eagles, alligators, bison — more than 110 animals, most of them native to Georgia and most living in outdoor enclosures under tall trees.

But if the natural setting is attractive, Savannah residents have found plenty of reasons not to visit the wildlife center.

Joseph Marinelli, president of the Savannah Convention and Visitors Bureau says that when he first moved to Savannah, he asked, “What is that Oatland Island?� The answer: “‘It’s crappy.’

So I never went.�

And Oatland’s director, Chris Gentile notes that, after the wildlife center closed so that toxic DDT could be removed from the soil, “many people got the sense it never reopened.�

But lately, Oatland’s image has been changing — fast.

For starters, the school district, in January 2007, hired Gentile, a bright, young animal expert, away from the Riverbanks Zoo and Garden in Columbia, S.C. Gentile opened new alligator and crane exhibits, created more readable trail maps, put animal caretakers on his staff and hired several “guest services� staffers to help visitors find their way around Oatland’s winding trails.

In June 2007, he worked with the school board, to changed the center’s name.

The old name, “Oatland Island Education Center� — sounded like a boring conference center for teachers, some Oatland supporters said. The

Oatland Island Director Chris Gentile

new name, “Oatland Wildlife Center of Savannah,� was more appealing.

In addition, about six months ago, Gentile posted eye-catching signs along President Street Expressway that showed off some of the animals hidden behind the trees. The signs featured a black bear standing on its hind legs, the tawny face of a couger and another cougar padding toward a moss-draped oak tree.

The campaign to promote Oatland Island kicked into high gear several months ago, when Gentile persuaded Convention and Visitors Bureau president, Marinelli, to join the marketing

committee of a key support group, Friends of Oatland Island.

Now, Marinelli has targeted Oatland’s principal market, calling it: “rubber tire tourism.“ These visitors live in Georgia, Florida and the Carolinas and visit Savannah by car, Marinelli explains.

And to attract them and “create some buzz about Oatland Island,� Marinelli says, his Convention and Visitors Bureau now promotes the wildlife center on its website.

The committee also wants to reach visitors who spend a couple of days in Savannah’s historic district and then are ready to explore. It just makes sense. “On the way to Tybee, you stop at Oatland Island,� Marinelli says.

The marketing committee also promotes Oatland Island to schools, to the military “and to the people who’ve driven by Oatland Island a thousand times on the way to Tybee,“ Marinelli says.

The online promotion is paying off.

Since June 30, the center has averaged more than 50 referrals a day from the website, Gentile says. And the center’s attendance has soared — from 58,000 visitors in 2007 to 75,000 this year.

Savannah’s Best Happy Hour

Left to right, posters by SCAD students Prateeksha Khatri, LiShan Ni, Cristine Moonan, Alison Johnson and Sean Maycock

Power-full messages

The posters were created by graduate students in graphic design as part of a project at the Savannah College of Art and Design. They can be seen through Aug. 28 at SCAD’s May Poetter Gallery.

Not all of the posters are anti-nuke.

Prateeksha Khatri portrayed nuclear energy as an alternative to using petroleum products that cause pollution.

“It was neat to see what the issues are from an artistic perception,” says Sara Barczak, Safe Energy Director for the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, who spoke to the class. “And it was interesting to see what the perceptions are from their age group.

“One student said nuclear power was good at the beginning of the project, then kind of realized he didn’t know about all the layers of it,” Barczak says.

“It’s interesting to see how people who started with no set ideas came up with their own conclusions and put them down in an artistic way. I don’t think everyone will like the posters, but if they know what the project is about, they will appreciate them.”

The project was created by Scott Boylston, a SCAD professor of graphic design, who says the whole point of the project was to start a conversation with the public.

“I thought this would be a good project, with the energy crisis, greenhouse gases, and the fact that the nuclear

industry is on the brink of taking advantage of the greenhouse gas issue,” Boylston says. “I think what it is really about is asking people to slow down in the decision-making process.”

The students spent a lot of time doing research and discussing what they learned. “Nuclear power is cleaner, true, but you must look at the entire life cycle — the extraction process, how much nuclear waste is created, the enrichment process,” Boylston says. “Especially in Georgia, you can look at just how much water is needed to cool off this energy source. The whole idea is that there’s all of this discussion about the problems moving forward with renewable energies.”

Boylston says the project is not taking a stand against nuclear energy. “I don’t think it should be framed as a no-nukes movement as much as a sensible energy discussion,” he says.

Six students in the class were asked to develop two posters each. Boylston notes the class was international, with two students from India, one from Brazil, one from Thailand and two from the United States.

“We spent about five weeks developing them,” he says. “The first few weeks consisted of solid research.

“Each individual would bring what they learned back to the classroom, and it would be the discussion for the day,” Boylston says. “Once all the facts were in and the research was done, there was a discussion about what were the real issues from their point of view.”

The next step was finding symbols that would be used to best communicate those ideas. That is the fine art of graphic design, Boylston says.

“It’s the extreme distillation of ideas without reducing the meanings behind it,” he says. “It sounds like a contradiction, but it can be done.”

Boylston is pleased with the final posters. “I think the results were strong,” he says.

In previous project classes, Boylston’s students have covered topics such as lead poisoning awareness, freedom of speech and peaceful assembly and sustainable living issues.

“As a graphic designer I always look forward to work on a project that will give me an opportunity to experience something new, or to see myself facing a challenge,” says Cristine Moonan, a student in the class. “The challenge turns out to be not only designing and finding a concept, but making people see through one small piece what, through deep research, you found to be a complex and serious issue.”

Nuclear Power Posters The posters were created by Savannah College of Art and Design graduate students in graphic design. The theme of the project was whether nuclear power should be used to deal with global warming.

hear and now by robin wright gunn | rgunnsav@bellsouth.net

The Big Chicken If I were ever a contestant on the reality TV show Fear Factor, knocking me out of the competition would be simple.

No need to go to all the trouble of locking me “into a tunnel filled with thousands of tarantulas.”

With apologies to Emily Dickinson, for me, fear is the thing with feathers. Get me next to a bird and I’m done for.

The flapping wings, the claws, the beady eyes, the sharp beak. Oh, the horror.

In the era of Hannah Banana Books, my long-departed business, a tiny brown-and-white speckled bird flew in the store’s open doors and couldn’t find its way out.

During my bookseller career, I once single-handedly ran off a 200plus pound man looming threateningly over the sales counter. But

E a t .

removing this golf-ball sized feathery intruder required intervention by two clerks from nearby Oak Bluff Outfitters. They appeared wielding trout fishing nets and humming the theme from Indiana Jones, for a “catch and release” of the terrified bird.

Despite this phobia, I’ve watched with interest as an underground cult of chicken lovers has surfaced in Savannah. At least three friends are the proud owners of chickens that are scratching and laying and living their chickeny lives smack in the middle of town, beneath heirloom camellias in Parkside, or strutting among tasteful lawn statues in Baldwin Park.

Each urban chicken flock boasts five hens, the maximum allowed by city ordinance. Rhode Island Reds and Leghorns are among the favored breeds. I love the idea of having friends who have chickens. It adds variety to my circle yet I can keep a safe distance from my fears.

D r i n k .

S t a r t i n g

Then last week came a phone call from Jane, friend and urban chicken owner, with six days remaining on a long trip up north. Her substitute chicken feeder was leaving town— would I consider filling in?

With “noooooooo” silently screaming in my head, I sighed and pulled out a notepad. “I need specific instructions.” This is what friends do, right? And so I became the “chicken tender.”

It turns out that caring for a friend’s flock of chickens is less work, and more interesting, than watering their plants.

Find the chicken feed (a grey mealy substance that looks like unmixed concrete). Give the birds two heaping scoops per day. How big is a scoop? Bigger than a coffee mug, not as big as a shovel full. Change the drinking water. Look in the henhouse for eggs. Look at the chickens. Wonder what they think about. But not

S a v E

too long.

I went into heart-pounding terror on the first day when, twice, a red hen flapped up into my face. With newfound empathy for Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie, a quick phone call to Jane revealed that the food gets scattered on the ground, a detail we didn’t cover in chicken feeding school.

By day five I was surprised to find myself looking forward to wading through the overgrown garden to the funky chicken coop. It’s fun watching the hens scritching around on the ground, their jerking head movements, their odd little running spurts, their soft-throated chuckle noises.

When my friend arrived home early I was both disappointed and relieved. To fill the empty days I’m reading a great little book, The Field Guide to Chickens, full of chicken facts, chicken breeds, pictures of chickens, and just maybe, the solution to my chicken-hearted ways.

The Munchies?

Police were called to Home Run Video on East Liberty Street Aug. 14 about 12:45 a.m. on a report that two young men were breaking into the store.

Several witnesses saw the suspects try to break the plate glass door. After that failed, they smashed a window with a rock.

When police arrived, witnesses saw one of the men enter the door, then come out a short time later with two bags of property.

He began running south along Bull Street.

Officers gave chase and quickly had both suspects under arrest. Police recovered three boxes of Yu-Gi-Oh cards -- a total of 115 packs, 38 Snickers candy bars and 26 packs of Skittles.

The suspects have been charged with one count each of burglary and were transported to the Chatham County Detention Center. They are Demontrell Leonard Manigo, 19, and Shawn Lamar Terrillio, 17, both of Savannah.

An employee of an Abercorn Street hotel in Midtown called police to say he had detained a trespasser.

Upon arrival, an officer located the employee in the television room with the suspect sitting against the wall. The employee said when he arrived at work, he had closed the main door to the TV room but hadn’t locked it. He said he went back through and found the man in the TV room, chanting out loud.

A side door behind a curtain had been damaged and opened. The suspect said he’d been in the TV room before, and that he had come through the main door, which he claimed was open.

He also said he doesn’t stay at the hotel, and couldn’t provide a reason for being there. The officer did observe damage to the side door latch, which appeared to have been forced open.

The suspect was taken into custody, transported to the Chatham County Detention Center and charged with criminal trespass.

An East 54th Street resident called police and said she was being threatened. She said she and her husband are separated,

but said he lives in the same duplex.

The woman said that his current girlfriend has gotten her phone number and has been calling her and threatening her, but said she doesn’t have the suspect’s phone number.

She said the suspect has been coming over to her apartment from next door to “keep trouble going.”

An Abercorn Street business has been receiving harassing phone calls. An employee told police she has received five calls from a man whose name she doesn’t recognize.

She said the man says he wants to purchase items and have them delivered, but he appears to just be playing on the phone.

She asked the caller not to call the business again, but when he kept calling, she called police.

A man left a convenience store at East Broad and Abercorn streets after making a purchase and started home. He told police that as he walked along West 31st Street

towards Price Street, a man came out from between two houses and approached him.

He said the suspect had a large black pistol that he pointed at him.

The suspect demanded the victim’s money.

The man said he had about $25 on him, which he handed the suspect. The suspect then told him to “get the f--k outta here” as he fled westbound on Anderson Street Lane from Price Street.

An officer was dispatched to West 42nd Street on a report of a burglary. Two women at the scene told the officer they had been robbed.

The entry point was through a metal outer door, where the dead bolt had been forced. Jewelry was missing, and a flatscreen TV had been stolen, along with one of the women’s medications.

If a man has a sex change, can he compete in the Olympics as a woman?

—Stephanie Ketchum In our enlightened age, when science has made it possible to be the sex you feel like rather than the one nature stuck you with, some think it stuffy to insist on doing things the old-fashioned way.

Why not let transsexuals compete as the sex they change to? Obvious rejoinder: Because it’s no fair letting a hulking genetic male go up against smaller genetic females just because he now calls herself Kathy. But as always it’s not that simple.

There’s a history of men sneaking into women’s sports, typically ordinary guys trying to take advantage. One was German high jumper Hermann Ratjen, who competed in the 1936 Olympics under the name Dora Ratjen, placing fourth. Soviet gold medal-winning sisters Tamara and Irina Press, sometimes called “the Press brothers,” were widely suspected of being males in disguise.

The last straw was North Korea’s Sin Kim Dan, who was riding high in 1964 after breaking the world records for the 400- and 800-meter runs—until her father came forward, recognizing his long-lost son. Determined not to be embarrassed again, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) required women athletes to submit to a physical exam for the 1966 European track and field championships. The exam involved parading en masse past three female gynecologists.

Time magazine noted snarkily at the time that the Press sisters and several other female athletes decided to drop out of the competition.

The visual exam gave way to mandatory lab testing in time for the 1968 Olympics; DNA testing was introduced for the 1992 Winter Games. Blanket gender testing for the Olympics was abolished in 1999, although testing can still be done in questionable cases.

But you were asking about geneti-

cally male athletes who believe they are female.

Genetically anomalous athletes are rare but not unknown. Testing for the 1996 Olympics revealed that 8 of 3,387 female athletes had genetic makeups that by some definitions made them male. Some women athletes have an XY chromosome pair that makes them genetically male but suffer from androgen insensitivity syndrome, meaning their external sex characteristics are for the most part female. Spanish hurdler Maria Martinez Patino was disqualified from a 1985 competition but eventually reinstated when she protested.

One nominally female apparently was a hermaphrodite. Polish Olympic champion Stanislawa Walasiewicz won the women’s 100-meter run in the 1932 games and picked up the silver in that event in 1936. On autopsy following her death in 1980, she was found to have sexually ambiguous genitalia.

Transsexual athletes are normal genetic males who identify as female and want to compete as women. Tennis pro Renee Richards is perhaps the best-known case because of the fuss she made after being barred from the 1976 U.S. Open, eventually resulting in a court decision in her favor.

In 1990 the IAAF became the first major international sports body to recommend transsexuals to compete.

The International Olympic Committee followed in the 2004 Athens games, with some restrictions.

We haven’t heard the last of the argument. Some wonder how the IOC can crack down on performance-enhancing drugs while allowing “transathletes” to take hormones. The objection is specious, in my opinion; most banned drugs are intended to give you an unfair advantage, while female hormones are meant to make a possible unfair advantage go away. Still, medical advances have given sports officials some tough calls, and not just where gender is concerned. Who can forget South Africa’s Oscar Pistorius, an outstanding runner and a double amputee? The IAAF banned him from competition in 2007 (the ruling was later overturned) because his artificial feet allegedly gave him too much spring.

-- A rule for federal lawsuits (Rule 8a) requires the initial pleading that commences the case to be “short and plain,” and another (9b) requires it to be to the point, with several pages usually plenty to give the other party notice of what he’s being sued for. In June, federal judge Ronald Leighton summarily tossed out the initial pleading of Washington state attorney Dean Browning Webb, whose client is suing GMAC Mortgage, because Webb had submitted 465 pages, with me-

-- In a July ceremony, Minneapolis Police Chief Tim Dolan honored SWAT officers for their bravery and professionalism during a December middle-of-the-night raid of a house that supposedly contained a gang’s guns.

However, it was the wrong house, and the bewildered, frightened resident started shooting back. Said Dolan, “The easy decision would have been to retreat (but the) team did not take the easy way out.” The house got riddled with bullets, but no one was hit, and the chief later apologized but still felt that it was “a perfect example of a situation that could have gone horribly wrong, but did not because of the (team’s) professionalism.”

-- Unrealistic Expectations: (1) Victor Rodriguez, 21, about to be arrested on a domestic assault charge in Bridgeport, Conn., in June, turned to his 9-foot-long pet python and, as police approached, shouted to the snake, “Get them!” (It remained motionless.)

earthweek www.connectsavannah.com/earthweek Arctic Meltdown The Arctic polar ice cap began to melt at an unprecedented rate last week as scientists warned that the region could be entirely free of summer ice in merely five years instead of the previously predicted 60 years. Last month, researchers said that this summer’s ice loss would probably not be as extensive as last year’s record melt. But storms since then over Alaska’s Beaufort Sea have pulled streams of warm air into the Arctic. Scientists won’t know if this summer’s melt is more expansive than last year’s until the ice cover reaches its minimum in mid-September.

Professor Wieslaw Maslowski of the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif., says it doesn’t matter which of the two years is the worst on record for Arctic ice. “The crucial point is that ice is clearly not building up enough over winter to restore cover, and that when you combine current estimates of ice thickness with the extent of the ice cap, you get a very clear indication that the Arctic is going to be ice-free in summer in five years.”

Eruption The third volcano to erupt in Alaska’s Aleutian Islands within the past month sent so much ash soaring high into the atmosphere that flights in and out of Alaska had to be cancelled. The explosive eruption of Kasatochi occurred so suddenly that U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service personnel stationed on the

volcanic island managed to evacuate on a passing fishing boast only shortly before the eruption began. “Fortunately, the existing seismic networks on nearby volcanoes picked up the (early signs of) activity at Kasatochi,” said Tom Murray, scientist-in-charge of the Alaska Volcano Observatory.

Seal Scientists Platoons of sea lions are being fitted with arrays of sensors so they can survey conditions in Antarctic waters so deep that human researchers can’t possibly reach them. “They provide us with a very detailed record of how temperatures and salinity change, and from that information, we can infer how much sea ice forms,” oceanographer Steve Rintoul told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. The 58 elephant seals can remain underwater for an hour, diving as deep as 5,000 feet and gathering 30 times the volume of data that can be collected by research buoys. Epoxy is used to glue the instruments and transmitters to the fur on the heads of the seals before the marine mammals are released to forage under the sea ice, typically 20 to 40 miles each day. Data they collect are expected to improve computer models of ocean currents in the region.

experts believe is rabies contracted through bites from vampire bats over the past year. Sixteen tribespeople, mainly children, have been afflicted over the past two months with symptoms of fever, paralysis and an extreme fear of water. Victims tend to have convulsions and become rigid before death. Rabies-infected vampire bats are a problem in several tropical areas of South America, especially in the Amazon region of Brazil and Peru. The flying mammals usually swoop down and make small incisions with their teeth while victims are sleeping. Those who suspect they have been bitten and exhibit small puncture wounds are being given a regimen of rabies shots.

Earthquakes A sharp quake that struck the coast of northeastern Venezuela damaged about 50 buildings around the city of Cumana, capital of Sucre state. No injuries were reported from the shaking, which was also felt in the states of Nueva Esparta and Anzoategui.

Bovine Terror Residents of a small village in southern Spain have nearly become prisoners in their own homes due to a herd of about 150 ornery cows that have invaded the village in search of food. Driven from the countryside by a shortage of pasture, the ruminant marauders have terrorized Prado Negro, near Granada, for more than a month, destroying trees and flowerpots as well as emptying trash bins in search of food.

Villagers blame the cows’ owners for not providing them with ample food, along with local officials who they say should be driving the beasts away. “It’s a disgrace,” one resident told local media. “The cows spend more time in the main square than the meadow.” by steve newman, universal press syndicate

This return engagement by two well-known headliners on the underground hip-hop scene will doubtlessly bring out a diverse crowd of rappers, funk and soul phreaks and spoken word enthusiasts. Akil was a founding member of the highly influential —and now sadly defunct— early ‘90s West Coast group Jurassic 5.

Quanstar is a Compton, Ca. born, Atlanta-based hip-hop revivalist who’s been rhyming since the age of 14, and earning raves for his DIY albums. He cites Common and other conscious rappers as strong influences, and says his goal is to bring the art form back to its populist roots. This venue’s regular weekly Alternative HipHop Night features Freestyling and Break-dancing contests, plus local DJs and MCs. Listen & Learn: myspace.com/akilthe1mc, myspace.com/quanstar. Tues., 10 pm, The Jinx.

The Sean Bolden Group

If you haven’t yet caught a performance by this lauded area jazz drummer and pianist, here’s your chance. Taught by AASU’s Dr. Steve Primatic and Wichita State University’s Dr. J.C. Combs, he’s toured both domestically and in Europe and become an in-demand sideman to nationally known artists such as Robin Eubanks, Tom Lure and Stefan Harris, in addition to leading his own gigs — such as this ALL-AGES event sponsored by the Coastal Jazz Association. As with all of the CJA’s monthly live music events, the show is free to their members, and they’ll waive the admission cost to anyone who goes ahead and joins the organization right then and there. Listen & Learn: www. myspace.com/seanboldenofficialmyspacepage, coastal-jazz.org.

Groovesect

It’s not every day that a bona fide musical legend makes it his business to be seen playing with an upstart band. Let alone one whose members’ average age must surely be a few decades shy of their mentor’s.

Yet, such is the case for James Brown’s former band leader Fred Wesley and rising New Orleans funk sensations Groovesect. Late this past year, the iconic trombonist —who famously served as a key soloist in some of the Godfather of Soul’s best backing groups, as well as handling the charts and arranging for many of JB’s most explosive ‘60s and ‘70s tracks— toured with this phenomenally funky soul and Afro-Cuban influenced jazz combo after guesting on their debut CD On the Brim.

Filled with wicked syncopation, slinky back beats and brass-and-percussion heavy dance fodder, that record posits this infectious group as one of the most promising bands of their kind in the country today.

In fact, despite their relative youth, Groovesect’s selfdescribed “nasty funk” (equal parts, rock, jazz and soul) is the product of veteran players who’ve been gigging in Crescent City clubs, house parties and

The Rent Boys (Reunion Gig)

If you ever had the chance to see Atlanta’s Rent Boys back in the day, you’ll know why many people swore they were the closest thing the U.S. ever came to The Clash. Their furious, besotted and cathartic shows were things of

street fests since their teens. Since Alfred “Uganda” Roberts (a living legend of N’awlins music who’s toured and recorded with Prof. Longhair, Dr. John, The Meters and Herbie Mann, among others) joined the group, they’ve been voted the #1 Funk Band and #2 Contemporary Jazz Band of 2007 in the Best of the Big Easy Awards — an impressive feat in such a talented town.

They usually play medium to large music venues and outdoor events like High Sierra or Voodoo Fest, and it’s incredibly rare for a group of this caliber, size and acclaim (their album hit #7 on the U.S. Jazz Charts) to appear in the corner of a small room like this subterranean bar and eatery near Ellis Square. There’s no cover, so get there early for a good view of the band. Listen & Learn: groovesect. com. Fri., 9 pm, Jazz’d Tapas Bar.

beauty: punk chaos infused with heartfelt paeans to brotherhood.

As this venue’s previous incarnation as The Velvet Elvis was a favorite stop for the band in their prime, they’ve added a Savannah date to their one-off Atlanta reunion show (after almost 8 years apart). It should be a night to for-

get to remember. ATL power-pop trio The Young Antiques open with a set of insanely catchy originals draped with the ghosts of The Ramones, The Jam and Hüsker Dü. Listen & Learn: myspace. com/therentboysatl, myspace. com/youngantiquesrock.

The “Lefty” Williams Band releases an impressive new CD by jim reed | jim.r@connectsavannah.com

When I finally catch up with guitarist and singer Jason Williams —better known as “Lefty”— by telephone, he’s at a hotel in Destin, Fl., during a string of dates at a massive restaurant and club called the Hog’s Breath Saloon.

I’m calling to find out how things are going for this Georgia-based artist on the rise. When last he and I spoke, a few years back, Williams was just beginning to break into the Savannah market under his own name, as leader of his own band. Previously, this Honors Graduate of the Atlanta Institute of Music (and later, an instructor at the same school) had played here numerous times as a key members of two different jam-oriented Atlanta-based bands, The Wayside Riders and Nothing Simple.

By the time he returned, fronting his own group, he was just starting to turn heads and draw small crowds throughout the Southeast with his soulful amalgam of guitar-based blues, rock and funk tunes. However, in all fairness, one must mention that Williams has another calling card besides his impressive musicianship: his hand.

Or rather his lack of one.

“Lefty” was born with only one hand (not surprisingly, his left!). His right arm ends just beneath the elbow in what Williams calls his “nubb”. And though some folks might surmise this would preclude him from excelling at any traditionally two-handed instrument, they would be sorely mistaken.

“I’ve never known any other way, so I can’t imagine things differently,” he told me at our first meeting. Fueled by a strong desire to play guitar, Williams developed a unique apparatus with which to hold his pick, and along the way, discovered that while there are some types of commonplace things he can’t do as easily as most, his “disability” creates an unexpected benefit.

“My limited range of motion creates perfect picking technique,” he explained. “Every instructor I’ve ever had has told me they were envious.”

While his extraordinary situation might at first be seen by some as a novelty, it quickly becomes obvious that as far as the guitar is concerned, Williams is far from hindered. In fact, he’s

Musician Jason Williams, also known as “Lefty”

downright gifted.

Jude Gold of Guitar Player Magazine recently said of Williams: “He has built a bigger career with only one hand than most guitarists have with two.” And Relix Magazine’s Simeon Cohen recently opined, “(He) sounds like he could be the next link in the chain of legendary Georgia guitarists after Duane Allman and Robert Cray.”

The tasteful chops and knack for classic tone that is winning Williams such accolades and hard-won comparisons can be found in spades on his brandnew album Snake Oil, which just hit stores a few weeks back. Produced by the legendary Athens, Ga. studio whiz John Keane —who’s also been at the helm of records by R.E.M., Cowboy Junkies, Widespread Panic, Taj Mahal and Warren Zevon, among others— Snake Oil showcases a maturing artist

whose continuing experience on the road is paying off.

More graceful, sure-footed and —at times— restrained than his previous albums, it just may wind up being the disc that finally introduces Williams to a larger, international audience.

Lefty has been pleasantly surprised by the initial burst of interest in this CD. “It’s been amazing! The new record is selling like crazy,” he gushes. “I’m getting airplay around the world. I’m on the radio in Australia and Finland right now, plus, I found out that a few weeks ago my song “All Your Way” made it to #2 on the radio charts in Auburn. And I actually got mentioned in Guitar Player, which is a life-long dream.”

According to him, there was no particular plan to make this album noticeably different from the ones he has cut in the past. However, people are

I play lots of different styles of music.

And I really like to have fun on stage.”

For now, he’s concentrating on getting his music and his name —via Snake Oil— out to as many people as he can, and says one of the most promising opportunities he’s had to date is a competition that could lead to him receiving airplay on many of Clear Channel’s corporate-controlled radio stations — something rarely offered to indie artists. (Learn more about how you can help Williams increase his chances at connectsavannah.com.)

For now, however, Williams is concentrating on roadwork. His steady schedule of live dates keep both he and his band in front of new faces throughout the Southeast. He says this weekend’s show will include “a heavy mix of both albums and some new songs that haven’t been recorded yet, as well as some covers.”

He’ll also perform a tune he composed specifically about our town.

“As touristy as it sounds, I really like River Street,” Williams admits with a smile. “I like just walking around and seeing the old buildings and the parks. I wrote a song years ago about a trip that I took there with my wife —who was at that time my girlfriend. We’ll probably play it at Live Wire. It’s one I’ve never put down on an album. It has more or a reggae-meets-Sting kind of vibe.”

definitely responding to this new release in a more favorable way than before.

“To be honest, when I went into the studio for Snake Oil, I was really worried these songs wouldn’t be as good as the last album’s. Many were written just before and had not been ‘road tested’. I’d not gotten any feedback from my fans.”

Williams gladly gives credit to John Keane’s “bedside manner” for helping immensely in creating the positive vibe which surrounds this new disc.

“As far as the production goes, well, John Keane is a Jedi! I really feel comfortable in the studio with him. I’ve made three albums with John now, and I intend on going back to him.”

Another notable attribute of Snake Oil is a high profile cameo by famed Georgia blues guitarist Tinsley Ellis.

Ellis, who’s currently signed to the prestigious Alligator Records label, is widely considered one of the finest blues-rock gunslingers alive, and he’s an avowed fan of Williams.

“He approached me in a club and said he’d been watching me on MySpace and really liked what I was doing musically,” says Williams. “And well, coming from Tinsley Ellis? I was just floored.

So when it was time to decide who I wanted to guest on the new record, I immediately thought of him. I’m looking forward to working more with Tinsley down the road.”

This anecdote begs the question: Just what is Lefty Williams doing musically?

Is he most comfortable being thought of as a blues, a jam or a rock artist (as his albums and live shows certainly include generous doses of all three genres)?

“While I don’t like being pigeonholed, I don’t really mind people calling me whatever fits for them,” he explains.

“To be honest, if you come see me live, it will change your whole concept of what you might think of me. In concert,

‘Passing Time’

The art of William Christenberry @ Jepson Center through Sept. 28 by bertha husband

One of the basic shapes of human habitations - four walls and sloping roof – is generally seen by children as a living organism, with its windows for eyes and a center door for a mouth. This “human” quality probably explains why the sight of an abandoned house, prey to creeping vines and the other vegetation which overwhelms it, as it weakens without any inhabitants to care for it, fills us with an instant sympathy as if we saw an orphan in rags, all alone in a wilderness of unconcern.

The simple clapboard, faux brick or corrugated iron structures found in rural Alabama where he was born and grew up, are the subject of William Christenberry’s art. But as “Man can feel love for place, but he is prone to regard Time as something of an enemy” (reads the quotation on the wall from Eudora Welty), time passing, and the melancholy of mortality is the content of his work.

This is a retrospective covering five decades of Christenberry’s work, and the earliest is entitled, “Tenant House 1960”, a gestural, expressionist painting close to abstraction. While this work shows the consistency of Christenberry’s subject matter, it was in 1970 that he found the perfect vehicle for his subject, when he started his photo series and sculptures of buildings.

“Building with False Siding in Warsaw, Alabama,” is a series of five photographs of the same house from the same angle, over a period of time. In the first, we see the house standing peacefully in a field of cut grass with no other vegetation near, apart from the faintest lick of creeper starting to grow up the pillar on the porch. Over the passage of time, the house becomes progressively overgrown until it is difficult for the viewer to detect any trace of the building at all.

“Green Warehouse, Newbern, Alabama” is an installation of 20 photographs, all shot between 1973 and 2004 from the same viewpoint, of a strange, green, corrugated iron structure, which shows the gable end

with its tall double inclined roof and three boarded windows along one wall. As time passes, the paint becomes distressed and we note that it is periodically repainted, always green, but never precisely the same shade. These repairs, however, never manage to conceal the real decrepitude of the structure. Standing apart from the wall of photographs is a sculpture (1978-79) of the same building, set on a large bed of red Alabama soil, and then placed on a stand to be viewed slightly below the average eye level so that the details of the roof can easily be seen. Christenberry’s meditative, patient process imparts a value to the edifice that it would not have otherwise: he has decided to use his own life’s time to record for us the ravages that time has wrought on a man-made structure of little worth. It is a poetic occupation, as well as an artistic one.

For me, these sculptures are the best of Christenberry. There is one other example in this exhibition, “Sprott Church (distant memory 2005)”. A white church isolated on a large bed of soil, it is looser in execution than the green warehouse. Based on an accompanying 1971 photograph, it seems clear from a later photograph, that this church no longer exists, having been replaced by a new church building on the same spot. So in this case, man, himself, was presumably the destroyer and the sculpture is then able to stand as a memorial. continues on p. 24

There are different kinds of death.

There is a natural passing away, something we mourn but understand; and then there is the unacceptable brutality we can scarce believe is human. In the 1960s, Christenberry became deeply affected by the homicidal activities of the Ku Klux Klan and began making works of art that related to that. In this exhibition, there are three images of hooded faces on paper constructed from ink transfers of various types of guns. One other work entitled “Crystal K Doll”, is a missile-shaped solid glass sculpture, lying on a mirror and partially clad in a red and white satin hooded robe.

My problem with these works is that I do not think it is possible to make an

Biomat USA

effective work of art on the subject of the Klan, particularly because of the need to call into play the hooded figure.

The difficulty lies in the fact that the hooded figure has ancient and perhaps deep magical and religious appeal, which can be switched on in the viewer, even if unconsciously.

Apart from one or two exceptions, Christenberry kept his collection of anti-Klan works together as a single installation and, as I understand it, sometime in the 1990s, this entire collection was stolen.

Shortly after this event, Christenberry had a dream in which he saw a tall, square angled tower structure with a pointed roof, resembling an elongated

8805 White Bluff Road • (behind Kmart) 912-927-4005

house. This image then became the basis for a series of drawings, prints and sculptures, all titled, “Dream Building.”

In this exhibit, “Dream Building Ensemble, 2000,” is composed of eleven of these structures, varying in height and width, some smooth, some with markings like columns, but all several feet tall, and white, and with pointed roofs.

There is something absurd yet deeply sinister about these “dream buildings”.

Unlike the friendly house or useful warehouse, they have no windows or doors. They stand in a dumb grouping, without any way to interact. They cannot call on our human sympathy or on some ancient and ritualistic reverence.

Christenberry has brilliantly incorpo-

rated his social commentary into the subject matter that he has made his own, thus releasing it from any mystical, and therefore dangerous, context.

The photographs and sculptures of the existing houses and buildings, disintegrating and abandoned, have their windows and doors boarded up.

They are now fully enveloped by the encroaching future, and are thus a meditation on the natural and inevitable passage of time, leading to death, even as the viewer is also reminded of the life they once held and supported.

But if her eyes stray again to the group of “dream buildings” with their sharp roofs and blank facades, she feels the chill of another kind of death.

Defining sanity downward Cardinal Rep performs Catch-22

Never were the follies of war so poignantly captured as in Joseph Heller’s Catch-22. From the black marketing of army goods to the intricacies of military bureaucracy, Heller shows that war is not to be taken at face value, but to be examined in layers. So, in a time where we daily confront war and its frustrations, Cardinal Rep Theatre is presenting Heller’s stage adaptation of his novel at the Freight Station beginning August 22.

For those whose high school reading lists did not include Catch-22, the novel examines the lives of some Army personnel and their civilian counterparts during the later stages of World War II. Bombers are being forced to fly more missions, increasing the danger factor each time. The only way to be excused from flying is if you’re insane, but only a sane person would come out and say they were insane in hopes of being grounded. In the background is the lunacy of wartime bureaucracy, plots to undermine military commands, and a case of mistaken death.

The 464-page novel is condensed to a script around 100 pages. “The best part of the novel is the writing,” says director Sheila Lynne “You can tell that Heller took his favorite parts and still got across the absurdities and ridiculousness of war.”

In terms of how well the book translates to the stage, the cast agrees that all the important parts and strong messages come across well. “I think this is the best it could have been done because if how much the book goes back and forth along the timeline,” says Ryan Brown, who plays Yossarian, the play’s main character. “If you like what the book has to say, you’ll enjoy this because none of the meaning is lost.”

The cast consists of twenty characters played by twelve actors. “It comes down to making each character distinct, by either physicality or other means, which is a fun challenge,” explains Lynne.

Steven Cyr plays three characters, two of which are part of a conspiracy and the third is the investigator on said case. “The brilliance about the play is that I feel like it spends more time being an outsider of the situation by

Cardinal Rep presents a play by Joseph Heller about the absurdities of war

commenting on it, rather than hitting you over the head with it like the book sometimes does,” comments Cyr. In a nod to how Catch-22’s message applies to all wars, Lynne chose to use camouflage prints and uniforms from several different eras. “We wanted to try and cover Vietnam, the current Iraqi war, even the Civil War,” she says.

The show is done in the round. “It’s a fast-paced, fun show, and the stage type really helps make the scene changes transition well,” points out actress Valerie Lavelle.

“I like theatre to be a very emotional, interactive experience between the

actors and the audience. You can reach out and literally touch the actors, not that I would actually encourage anyone to do that,” Lynne adds laughingly.

“Come with an open mind,” suggests Benjamin Wolfe, who plays the chaplain. “You’re going to see these outrageous characters and you’ll be laughing from the moment you sit down until the lights come up at the end.”

too-small crowd, his band’s maelstrom of intense, swirling, jazz-inflected, poly-rhythmic psychedelic rock was likely the closest we’ll ever get to seeing a group like Cream or the original Jimi Hendrix Experience back in their heyday.

Luckily, Tiny Team’s official photographer Geoff L Johnson (geoffsphotos. com) was on hand to preserve it for posterity.

Monday night, August 4, Savannah Smiles Dueling Pianos Bar was again transformed into a premiere live music showcase by local grass roots promoters the Tiny Team (of which I’m a member). By all accounts, this incendiary evening was one of the most memorable local rock shows in years.

Singer/guitarist Jeff Calder (frontman for famed new-wavers The Swimming Pool Q’s) led Atlanta-based openers The Supreme Court through nearly an hour of originals and choice blues covers (rearranged, of course, to take advantage of the stellar, sci-fi tonalities and dazzling fretwork of the band’s internationally-known fusion guitar guru Glenn Phillips).

Then, NYC-based headliner Richard Lloyd (formerly of pioneering art-punk legends Television) and his Sufi-Monkey Trio featuring drummer Billy Ficca (also of Television) threw their all into an aggressive set made up of Lloyd’s own fiery, Stones-influenced power-pop, re-worked Television classics (“Friction”, “Elevation”, “See No Evil”) and edgy, punk versions of Jimi Hendrix tunes like “Axis: Bold As Love” and “I Don’t Live Today”.

The Hendrix material highlighted how much of that late guitar icon’s phrasing, chordal structure and soloing techniques lie hidden at the core of Lloyd’s trademark style. For many in the

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Pop quiz, hotshot. Which line of dialogue does not appear in a Star Wars movie?

A) “May the Force be with you.”

B) “Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son.”

C) “So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause.”

D) “Does sweet’um want some num-nums?”

I wish I could say that the correct answer is D), but actually all four lines appear in one installment or another, with that atrocious final snippet of dialogue appearing in the new animated feature Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The early word is that only Star Wars fanatics will enjoy this latest addition to the franchise, but that’s grossly inaccurate: As someone who was 11 years old when the original film hit theaters back in the summer of 1977 and thus has always considered it a rites-of-passage milestone, I was nauseated upon stumbling out of George Lucas’ latest sorry attempt to squeeze every last penny out of this franchise. Set in the period

between Episodes II (Attack of the Clones) and III (Revenge of the Sith), this focuses on the war that helped the evil Empire take over the galaxy.

The principal story strand concerns the efforts of Anakin Skywalker and his teenage apprentice (Lucasfilm, meet the Disney Channel) to rescue Jabba the Hutt’s kidnapped baby boy from Count Dooku and his posse. What sort of nonsense is this? Jabba also has a swishy relative (Ziro the Hutt) who speaks exactly like Truman Capote(!). And while Jar Jar Binks is thankfully nowhere to be found, the battle droids prove to be every bit as idiotic and insufferable — and there are lots of them in the movie.

The CGI animation is harsh on the eyes and proves to be aesthetically unpleasing. A couple of action sequences do manage to elevate this film out of the realm of utter despair, but for the most part, this is curdled cinema that even the fans will upchuck.

A menage a trois between the luscious, Olympic-worthy team of Scarlett Johansson, Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz is one of the various expressions of intimacy found in Vicky Cristina Barcelona, but viewers shouldn’t attend the movie expecting to see explicitness on the order of, say, Shortbus or Henry & June. After all, the film’s writer-director is Woody Allen, and he’s always been much more interested in exposing the intricacies of the heart than the pleasures of the flesh. Yet therein lies the major problem with the picture: Allen has basically told a tale that depends on carnal knowledge as much as anything else, and the soft-pedaling of the harsher aspects of the story make Vicky Cristina Barcelona feel, well, as if it were made by a 72-year-old filmmaker who’s tentatively stepped outside his comfort zone. The end result is an interesting misfire, and one whose overlapping themes might resonate more strongly on a second viewing.

Rebecca Hall and Johansson, the female co-leads in The Prestige, here play pragmatic Vicky and impulsive Cristina, two Americans vacationing in the lovely Spanish city when they’re propositioned by the seductive, sensual artist Juan Antonio (Bardem) to join him for a weekend of food, wine and sex. Eventually, both women do succumb to his charms (albeit at different points), only to find matters growing more complicated once his fiery ex-wife Maria Elena (Cruz, stealing the show) re-enters his life.

Allen can hardly be accused of phoning in this script: The movie stumbles over itself while bringing fresh life to a number of issues, among them our need for familial security (at whatever cost) versus our desire for hedonistic experimentation; the ability of one’s artistic impulses to be awakened by a foreign culture (this speaks as much about Allen as it does budding photographer Cristina, with Allen filming exclusively overseas since leaving Manhattan for England for 2005’s Match Point); the dangers inherent in an unchecked creative lifestyle; and the viewpoint that sex in itself need not be a shallow vice but rather a passageway into deeper understanding between people. The notions presented on screen are worthy of discussion, but I just wish Allen had given them more of a chance to be heard. Instead, there’s a reticence about the film that stops even the most interesting scenarios short. The hoary show

biz axiom may declare, “Always leave them wanting more,” but in this case, I wish Allen hadn’t kept us hanging.

HENRY POOLE IS HERE Faith-based movies aren’t exactly overflowing at the multiplexes, so it’s nice to see sincere religious overtones in a picture that flies in the face of typical mainstream fare which generally paints all Christians as close-minded, intolerant rubes. Of course, considering there are enough of these hypocritical dimwits populating the country to put the “born-again” Bush into office twice, you can’t really blame Hollywood for its own myopia, but still, the gesture behind Henry Poole Is Here is appreciated. Unfortunately, the movie doesn’t know when to quit, and what begins as a thoughtful examination of spirituality versus skepticism turns irrevocably heavy-handed by the end.

Luke Wilson plays Henry, a dying man (from what, we never learn) who moves into a shabby house in a California suburb with the intention of spending his last, lonely days there. But a nosy neighbor (Adriana Barraza) changes all that after she insists that the water stain on the backyard wall of Henry’s house is actually the face of Christ. Soon, unexplained “miracles” begin occurring to those who touch the wall, with local believers lining up to pay respect to the image. Henry, who doesn’t believe in much of anything, is angered by all this unwanted attention, though he does let down his guard enough to strike up a relationship with his lovely next-door neighbor (Radha Mitchell).

Henry Poole Is Here is initially interesting in its ambiguity, and it benefits from strong work by Mitchell and Rachel Seiferth as a grocery store clerk who senses Henry’s misery. But once the mystery surrounding the water mark dissipates, the film begins to bark at viewers like a tent-revival evangelist, and sober discussions give way to a clumsily handled finale that doesn’t stand a prayer of satisfying most discerning viewers.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2

The 2005 screen version of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was based on the first novel in Ann Brashares’ best-selling series, but the word is that The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 combines the events from the remaining three books in the franchise.

One reason is probably because

the studio felt that audience interest wouldn’t extend past a second installment. Another might be that the four stars of the first film have kept busy with other projects and may not particularly wish to keep returning to the same well. And the third reason is that who wants to eventually see 30something actresses still playing collegeage kids? (It brings to mind the third and final film in the Porky’s series, wherein high school boys were suddenly having to contend with receding hairlines.) A solid follow-up to the solid original, Sisterhood 2 might feel a bit more scattershot than its predecessor, but its engaging characters, entertaining situations and emotional reach should help it find approval with those who grooved to the rhythms of the first picture. Set three years later, it finds the best-laid summer plans of the four friends — brainy Carmen (America Ferrera), introspective Bridget (Blake Lively), rebellious Tibby (Amber Tamblyn) and shy Lena (Alexis Bledel) — blown to smithereens as each ends up doing her own thing rather than hanging out as a group.

Thus, Carmen heads to Vermont to work in theater (check out a funny Kyle MacLachlan as the pompous director), Bridget travels to Turkey for an archaeological dig before heading to her grandmother’s house in the South to solve some family mysteries, Tibby remains in New York to work on her film and worry about possibly being pregnant, and Lena, heartbroken after being dumped by her Greek lover, finds new romance at the Rhode Island School of Design. Problems are worked out in an orderly manner, tears are shed in sincere fashion, and everyone is eventually reunited in sunny Greece, with nary a single ABBA-mangling peasant in sight.

Tropic Thunder The opening salvo of Tropic Thunder reps perhaps the funniest 10 minutes I’ve encountered in a movie theater this year. But the best news is that the movie manages to keep the laughs hurtling forward for its entire running time, no small feat in an era in which many comedies lose steam by the final reel. Ben Stiller, whose fingers are all over this picture (as star, director, co-writer and co-producer), does himself proud by successfully orchestrating the diverse elements that make up this ambitious picture, from a roster of A-list actors (some in sup-

porting roles) to a decidedly non-PC screenplay that touches upon clashing acting methods, venal movie moguls, and the correct way in which to play a mentally challenged character (tip: don’t go “full retard” if you want a shot at the Oscar). Stiller stars as Tugg Speedman, a macho action star whose one attempt at an awards-bait title, the resounding flop Simple Jack, has largely derailed his career. Jack Black plays Jeff Portnoy, a comedian known for vulgar blockbusters. And Robert Downey, Jr. essays the role of Kirk Lazarus, a five-time Academy Award-winning actor celebrated for his Method approach to acting. All three, plus rap star Alpa Chino (Brandon T. Jackson) and screen newcomer Kevin Sandusky (Jay Baruchel), are in Vietnam shooting the war movie to end all war movies. But on-set mishaps and temperamental actors immediately put the film behind schedule, and the grizzled technical advisor (Nick Nolte) suggests to the director (Steve Coogan) that the pampered stars should be taken to a rough spot of the jungle where, away from the rest of the cast and crew, they’ll buckle up and get the movie made.

Stiller is funnier here than he’s been in some time, and he’s especially blessed to have surrounded himself with such a knockout cast. Black has some riotous moments as a drug fiend struggling with his dependency, while Matthew McConaughey, freed from inane romcoms opposite Kate Hudson, is appealing as Speedman’s lively agent. The cast even includes Tom Cruise, who’s clearly having fun as a bald, bad-tempered studio boss with no morals whatsoever (it’s like rewatching Cruise’s Magnolia character, only this time with a laugh track). Yet the acting honors easily go to Downey. His Kirk Lazarus is so dedicated to his craft that he undergoes surgery to have his skin darkened so he can play an African-African character in the Vietnam War opus. Being a Method actor means that he talks “black” even when the cameras aren’t rolling, an affectation that really annoys Chino, the cast’s authentic AfricanAmerican. Downey is an absolute riot in this role, and between this and Iron Man, I’d say he’s having a helluva summer.

comedy not starring Mike Myers or Eddie Murphy. The lamentable Drillbit Taylor was quickly followed by the bright Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and now the mediocre Step Brothers has moved aside for the rollicking Pineapple Express.

Pineapple Express doesn’t benefit from the polished characterizations or heartfelt scenarios of Apatow’s big hits The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up, but as far as crude, rambling, shaggy-dog comedies go, this one’s better than most of the modern-day crop. Here we have process server Dale Denton (Seth Rogen) and drug dealer Saul Silver (James Franco); they’re forced to take it on the lam after Dale witnesses a drug lord (Gary Cole) and a crooked cop (Rosie Perez) commit cold-blooded murder and the killers are able to trace the rare pot (“Pineapple Express”) that Dale leaves at the crime scene back to the eternally fried Saul. Pineapple Express boasts a pair of major surprises. The first is that instead of turning to a regular member of his troupe to direct the picture, Apatow chose David Gordon Green, known for micro-budgeted indie films (All the Real Girls, George Washington). The second is that Franco, generally the blandest of pretty boys, succeeds in his change-ofpace role as a long-haired stoner who has trouble understanding the words that anyone speaks to him (when Dale tells him he’s a process server, Saul replies, “You’re a servant? Like a butler?

You shine shoes?”). Not surprising in the least is that Rogen again scores in his role as a disheveled slacker with a way with words.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor 1999’s The Mummy was a barely passable Indiana Jones rip-off, while 2001’s The Mummy Returns proved to be rather dismal. This one, though, is the worst of the lot — and certainly the most boring. Somehow, I managed to stay awake during the grueling expository sequences. I’m not referring to the prologue showing how, in the China of 2,000 years ago, a sorceress (Michelle Yeoh) places a curse on an evil emperor (Jet Li) who can now only be awoken by a drop of human blood; I’m talking about the excruciating scenes in which retired adventurer Rick O’Connell (series star Brendan Fraser) and his wife Evelyn (Maria Bello, replacing Rachel Weisz after the latter declared, “Screw this; I have an Oscar now!”) mope

around their English estate in 1946 while grown son Alex (Luke Ford) is (unknown to them) off digging up the emperor. Plot contrivances reunite all of them in Shanghai, and from there, the gang is forced to fight the now-revived emperor. Is that really Maria Bello looking so glum up there on the screen, doubtless recalling how her formidable talents are more suited to the likes of A History of Violence and The Cooler than to treacle like this? And do scripters Alfred Gough and Miles Millar think that audiences will be impressed by dialogue that basically consists of variations on Rick yelping, “Well, here I am fighting mummies again!”?

Step Brothers The battle for the title of Hollywood’s Ultimate Man-Child finds Will Ferrell finally overtaking Adam Sandler. The law of diminishing returns — to say nothing of Step Brothers’ cringe-inducing trailer — suggests that this should represent the nadir of Ferrell’s efforts, but the truth is that he’s done worse.

For the most part, this is crap, yet it’s rescued from the bottom of the sewer by several choice quips as well as a surprising sweetness at the center of its storyline involving family dysfunction.

Ferrell and Talladega Nights partner John C. Reilly star as Brennan and Dale, two 40-ish men still living at home with their single parents (Mary Steenburgen and Richard Jenkins, respectively).

When said parents decide to marry each other, the two “kids” are forced to not only live under the same roof but also share a bedroom. They become best friends after they’re united by their mutual hatred of Brennan’s smug, perfectionist brother Derek (Adam Scott).

As usual, Ferrell doesn’t know where to draw the line when it comes to childish antics on screen (the sleepwalking segments involving Brennan and Dale are especially exasperating), and the sight of Brennan dragging his exposed nutsack across Dale’s precious drum set serves as an example of the sophomoric levels to which this film will stoop. But the theme of how parents and children will often fail each other carries some startling resonance (thanks largely to Steenburgen’s delicate performance), and every time we write off the dialogue as just a string of schoolyard taunts, along comes an unexpected zinger. Step Brothers is clearly a step up from this past spring’s Ferrell offering, Semi-Pro, but please, guys, it’s time to grow up and give this formula a rest.

Puppet Shows

ARIES

(March 21-April 19 My Aries friend David’s acupuncturist diagnosed his current condition as an “encroachment of phlegm in his triple heater.” That’s also an apt metaphorical description of what’s going on in your psyche. Your internal engine -- the fire in your belly -- is a bit clogged by a sluggish stream of swampy, snotty feelings. I suggest you take action to purge this creeping effluvia. A good way to start would be to do what Gestalt dream workers do: Imagine that the effluvia can speak, and ask it to tell you what it wants.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20 Borrowing some words of poet Eliza Acton and mixing them with mine, I’ve prepared a love note for you to use as your own. Feel free to give these words to the person whose destiny needs to be woven more closely together with yours.

“I love you as a glad bird loves the freedom of its wings. I love you as I love the first lily of spring exploding with clear fragrance in the moonlight. I love you as I love the swell and hush of a low melody that brings the past to life again. I love you as I love the tone of a softbreathing dawn whose soul has awaken for me alone.”

GEMINI

May 21-June 20 In Greek mythology, the Procrustean bed was a torture device. Anyone foolish enough to lie down on it would be forcibly modified in order to fit its exact dimensions. A person who was smaller than the bed would be painfully stretched and those who were too big would have their body parts amputated. I beg you not to climb into any situation that resembles that bed, Gemini.

You need an adaptable niche that will adjust to your unique needs and talents, not a rigid pigeonhole that squeezes and bullies you into assuming its shape.

CANCER

June 21-July 22 “Dear Rob the Astrologer: I recently discovered your column, and I like it. But I’m wondering if I’m approaching it in the right way.

Although I’m a Crab, all 12 of your

horoscopes seem to make sense to me and describe how I feel. Is this OK? - Curious in Austin.” Dear Curious: You Cancerians are very versatile and empathetic these days. Given how open you are to being taught from every angle, you have my blessing to glean useful information from the horoscopes for all of the signs. This phenomenon will probably run its course

by September 23, and after that you may find that only the Cancer horoscope really works for you.

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22 I’m not so interested in predicting the future as I am in creating the future. Why waste even a minute worrying about how things will turn out when you can devote your energy to making things turn out the way you want? It’s true that in the horoscopes I offer you, I speculate about what may be coming. But my purpose in doing so is to describe favorable scenarios that you can use your willpower to manifest. Right now, for instance, I won’t prophesy, “You may soon be blessed with a valuable new resource.” Rather, I’ll say, “Get out there, Leo, and acquire a tool or fuel or asset that will help you become more practical about fulfilling one of your dreams.”

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22 “I have dreamed in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas,” wrote Emily Bronte in Wuthering Heights. “They have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind.” One of your main assignments in the coming week, Virgo, is to identify a dream that can work that kind of magic on you. If there is no such dream currently seeded in your imagination, find a new one to plant there.

LIBRA

harmony.” Similarly, Libra, your fear of impending chaos in your personal sphere will turn out to be overblown. Yes, you may suffer temporary shortages and inconveniences, as well as what we might call a metaphorical “traffic jam.”

But you can forget about mountains of fire, seas of blood, and hordes of locusts from the bottomless pit.

They will definitely not be showing up.

SCORPIO

Oct. 23-Nov. 21 You’ve reached a phase in your astrological cycle when you have special power to expand, deepen, and enhance your web of allies. My advice? Don’t just schmooze and party, but rather schmooze and party with an evangelical sense of purpose, taking advantage of the fact that people are more likely than usual to see you as attractive, be sympathetic to your cause, and lend you their support. The connections you forge and the synergetic collaborations you ignite in the next three weeks could be major factors in your success in 2009.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21

According to the Guinness website, the world record for opera singers receiving curtain calls is Luciano Pavarotti, who got 165 after his 1988 show at the Deutsche Opera in Berlin. If that mark is ever broken, it may soon be accomplished by a Sagittarian performer. That’s because you people will be at the peak of your potential to garner acknowledgement, recognition, and rewards in your chosen field.

Here’s a secret about how you can take maximum advantage of that potential: Imagine that there is a higher, finer level of excellence that’s beyond what you’ve understood as excellence up until now.

Then figure out what you’d have to do to rise to that higher, finer level.

CAPRICORN

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

“The apocalypse won’t be all that bad,” Bible scholar Parker Creaston told the Weekly World News. There’ll be a “brief period of mild to moderate disorder,” after which will come an extended period of “worldwide peace and

Below is an excerpt from a Charles Baudelaire poem, as translated by Louis Simpson. “Ask the wind, the wave, the star, the bird, the clock, everything that is flying, everything that is groaning, everything that is rolling, everything that is singing,

everything that is speaking . . . ask what time it is, and wind, wave, star, bird, clock will answer you: ‘It is time to be drunk! So as not to be the martyred slaves of time, be drunk, be continually drunk! On wine, on poetry or on virtue as you wish.’” It is a perfect time in your astrological cycle to draw inspiration from that counsel, Capricorn.

In addition to wine, poetry, and virtue, consider trying anything else that might work to achieve the desired exaltation, like meditation, dancing, sex, dream work, or a vision quest.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18

Thanks for the entertainment you’ve provided so far in 2008, Aquarius. Since last January, you have sent a nagging demon packing and corrected a kink in your integrity. You’ve paid off a load of karmic debt left over from the old days and have even begun to dissolve an outdated psychosexual imprint. Before I announce your reward for all this good work, though, I’d like you to make more progress on tempering your obsessive side.

See what you can do to convert it from a part-time liability into a full-time asset.

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20 “The real secret of magic is that the world is made of words,” said the sage Terence McKenna, “and that if you know the words that the world is made of, you can make of it whatever you wish.” I’d go even further and say that you can actually shape your world through your use of language. Do you really want to live amidst infertile chaos where nothing makes sense and no one really loves anyone? Then speak with unconscious carelessness, expressing yourself lazily.

Or would you prefer to live in a realm that’s rich with meaning and beauty and interesting mystery?

Then be discerning and creative in how you speak, primed to name the novel truths that are always being born right in front of your eyes. Of course you always have the power to create heaven or hell through the words you choose, Pisces, but right now is a potential turning point when you could form good new habits.
