Toughing it out, old-school by Jim Morekis | jim@connectsavannah.com
Americans are going through tough times today — with even tougher times almost certain to come — but it’s nothing, mere child’s play really, compared to what our ancestors went through 230 years ago. The signers faced certain death by hanging if their bid for freedom failed. Soon after the Declaration’s signing, rampant inflation made colonial money almost worthless. Many times during the long war for independence, George Washington’s soldiers had nothing but a gun and a blanket, in the dead of winter. Some of
his troops didn’t even have shoes. Literally almost naked, they fought on to victory. Tough people, our ancestors. If our nation could survive all that, surely we can survive the Bush years. Uh... right? So you see, I still harbor a glimmer of hope that America will find its way through the current time of despair. Perhaps it will take this dire economic emergency to finally cut through our poisonous politics, and the increasingly false, media-driven choice of right vs. left. One can only hope.

We regret the error and apologize profusely to Mr. Slay. Secondly, in our Fall Arts Preview listings, yours truly erred on the date for the upcoming Jonathan Richman show; it’s actually Oct. 8.

Why is county still clear-cutting?
16 News of the Weird
Editor, It’s past the eleventh hour for Mother Nature, and even now, projects go on that stun with their destruction. Back in the Kingswood subdivision off Waters, a 30-year old forest has been clearcut for a county flood abatement program. In the eyes of the engineer, it is a ‘corridor’ not a forest. And yet, until recently, it teemed with over 62 different species of wild birds, and was a stop-over for migrating birds that move along the Atlantic coastline every year. No wonder, as a recent study pointed out, socalled common birds are declining worldwide. Sandy Beasley of the Audubon Society, who kept a bird journal for decades, is now watching that once wonderfully overgrown, dark and lush area go from a Living zone to a Dead zone. The neigh-
bors around here had no idea it would be this drastic. Nobody denies the need for flood abatement projects. But what’s not understood, is why there’s a slash and burn mentality, instead of coming up with creative ways to “Let Nature Live.” The county urgently needs to hire engineers that can understand the Big Picture of earth sustainability. It was not necessary to do an environmental impact study, because federal funds were not used. We need innovative, visionary engineers, planners and developers that will care about nature, even when not legally required to do so. Who know that trees have an inherent value, and are motivated to come up with forwardthinking solutions that don’t crush urban-suburban wildlife. Isn’t it possible that you can design plans that improve drainage, while allowing trees that are not even in the canal to remain
standing? It’s hard to put a price on what a teeming, lively forest full of birds gives. But what we’re losing when such a heavy hand falls on a fragile eco-system is priceless to those that care about our last wild places. We can live in harmony with nature, when we reach for creative solutions and refuse to ‘cut corners’ that will harm living things. Molly Hall

Go, carts
www.connectsavannah.com/culture
Editor, I am sick of the carts at the mall, you know the ones where they harass you to come by their products. The cart that most annoys me is at the Oglethorpe Mall. The cart in question sells sea salt lotions, special nail files and other beauty aides. First off I am offended that you would think I need such beauty aides, why mess with perfection? Secondly I am a guy and not a metrosexual in need of such lotions. Leave the shoppers alone and go sell your wares on QVC or late night infomercials. Still, someone must be giving them enough business to stay out there. I am all for someone trying continues on p. 8

In this time of dire crisis and national malaise, the visit to town this past weekend of an original copy of the Declaration of Independence was strangely comforting. The timing was perfect.
My daughter Sophia and I took advantage of the generous opportunity provided to us and a few others by the Georgia Historical Society on Friday night to view the copy at their headquarters prior to the next day’s public event at the Massie School. This was especially stirring, since as GHS Vice President Laura Garcia-Culler pointed out to us, the Georgia Historical Society is one of the few places on earth where, even if for only one night, you could find a copy of the Declaration and a copy of the U.S. Constitution under one roof. The latter document is Georgia signer Abraham Baldwin’s own copy on permanent display at Hodgson Hall, complete with his hand-written notes.

Meet the parents
First reading of parenting ordinance highlights council meeting by linda sickler | linda@connectsavannah.com
The Sept. 25 meeting of the Savannah City Council was quiet and uneventful. Mayor Otis Johnson and Alderman Tony Thomas were both absent to attend conferences, and Mayor Pro Tem Edna Jackson presided in Johnson’s absence. The first reading of the Parental Support and Responsibility Ordinance was presented. The ordinance is designed to “provide support and penalties for parents or guardians who contribute to their child’s violation of state law, city ordinance, or school policy or who fail to comply with the terms of adjudication or remediation set forth by the juvenile court or schools, including such parental supports as counseling, substance abuse treatment, or parenting classes.” City Manager Michael Brown said the ordinance is not designed to “pick on” children or parents. He said the purpose is to support families in an effort to prevent further problems, and said this ordinance should not be confused with parental responsibility ordinances put into effect in other cities. A town hall meeting will be held with parents and other residents to discuss the ordinance. Brown said parents will be fully informed about the ordinance before it is submitted to the council for final approval. The second reading of the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance wa held and it was approved. Approval of the ordinance is necessary for the city to continue to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program. In the event of a disaster, policy
holders are covered for flood damage. In Savannah, one foot of additional finished lower elevation is strongly recommended in new construction by the state. Passing the amendment improves the city’s flood rating and means lower insurance premiums for homeowners. The council tabled the purchase of 48,000 curb-side recycling carts from Otto Industries until the Oct. 7 meeting. Otto submitted the low bid of $2,685,103 for the carts, which will be used by residents for the curb-side recycling program. The matter is being deferred because of a request from the mayor, who wants to do further investigation before proceeding with the purchase. The program is projected to begin in January. The council approved the purchase of 960 trees at a cost of $78,933.50. Brown said the trees would be used by the Park and Tree Department in city parks and right-of-ways. He said trees would be placed where they were most needed, mostly to replace trees lost because of age. The annual contract for employee benefits consulting services was tabled for two weeks after representatives of Hilb, Roger, Hobbs, Savannah complained that their bid was actually the lowest, although Brown had recommended the contract go to Wachovia Insurance Services. Brown said going with Wachovia would actually save the city in the long run, and said he said he would be glad to meet with city and company officials to explain precisely why the recommendation was made. cs

to earn an honest buck, but leave me the hell alone when I am trying to shop. Shopping at the mall already is a pain, you have the traffic, parking, rude sales people, and dirty bathrooms (especially Barnes and Noble), trying to bug me to death into buying your stupid lotions only adds to the negative experience. Thanks for smiling at me and flirting, but no you cannot talk to me for a min-
ute, and no you cannot show me what you are selling. No you cannot rub that lotion on my hands. I am sure these various carts make the mall money for leasing the space, but is it worth it to sacrifice the mall experience for these low class flea market types?

Bumper sticker economy In the early summer of 2003 I put a bumper sticker on the rear window of my Subaru. “Business is great. People are wonderful. Life is terrific.� A few months earlier, the start of the Iraq War coincided with the start of a three-month plummet in foot traffic and sales at Hannah Banana Books, my shop in the Habersham Village shopping center. Sales rebounded by mid-June, making the bumper sticker’s business claim true on a day-by-day basis. But after the dismal three prior months, with sales off by 30 to 40 percent from the same period in 2002, the return to busy sales was not enough to keep things going. The hole was just too deep, and despite a positive attitude and a regularly ringing cash register, as summer of 2003 turned to fall, I finally conceded to the inevitable. This past Tuesday marked the five year anniversary of closing day at Hannah Banana Books. And yet the bumper sticker lives on, affixed to the upper right corner of my car window. In its five and a half years on my vehicle, this upbeat fortunecookie summation of the world has continued to accurately reflect the path of my life... Pollyanna though I may be. Business may not be booming, but it’s definitely great. After decades of toying with the idea of being a writer, I took the plunge in early 2004, realizing a dream I’d had since 10th grade but was too afraid to try. Nearly five years into it, I feel as if I’m still at the beginning, with a lot to learn, which keeps my ego in check and my brain stimulated. Everywhere, wonderful people abound, and not just those close at hand.Through writing projects and routine meanderings around town I meet interesting people, pieces of the Savannah puzzle as unique and remarkable as our most famous landmarks. This past Saturday I headed downtown for a late breakfast at Firefly Cafe. After sipping coffee and watching dog walkers and bicyclists, I was reminded that the Declaration of Independence was on display that day at Massie Heritage Interpretation Center. Walking west on Harris Street past the cathedral, I turned south into Lafayette Square and skirted the edge of a wedding — the second outdoor
nuptials I’d seen that afternoon. As I passed, the groom was signaling to the two police officers on duty, asking them to step into the family grouping and be photographed as part of the big day. At Massie, a steady stream of families passed through the maze of rooms, stopping first for a minute-long gaze at one of the last remaining of 200 “rough drafts� of the Declaration of Independence that circulated around the colonies in the summer of 1776. On the day after the first presidential debate, while politicians met frantically in Washington to cobble together a fix to the economic situation, four senior members of Beach High School’s JROTC Color Guard took a pizza break in the shade of Massie’s yard. Under the supervision of Sgt. James Shaw, the students had prepared for a week to read the Declaration as part of a ceremony that included their presentation of the colors — “what we do best,� according to one of the color guard members. Upstairs in the reconstructed early 20th century classroom, children and adults used feather quill pens to sign take-home photocopies of the Declaration, while a film presented a reading of the document by eleven Hollywood actors — with perhaps the greatest testament to the universality of the document’s message being the presence of both Mel Gibson and Whoopi Goldberg as readers in the film. From Saturday’s indications, life is terrific — full trolleys rode past, loungers in the squares enjoyed the mild fall air, the hope that resonated through the colonies in 1776 seemed present everywhere, seemingly untouched by the economy’s wobbling. After five years, that bumper sticker on my back window is peeling around the edges, to the point where the L in “Life� has disappeared. Last week I tried to remove it — it’s getting unsightly and, given the state of our country, might come across as naive or insensitive. But the darned thing has melded into the glass like Superglue. I gave up temporarily. Friday night, a couple I’d just met spied it on my car. “I like your bumper sticker. It’s so hopeful,� the husband said, with no irony. We’re having a tough week, a tough month and year, but for now, that ragged sticker is staying where it’s been for half a decade. cs

Don’t throw away your incandescent bulbs yet I have to say, I’m very pleased and excited about the recent green movement I have witnessed here in Savannah and throughout the country for that matter. Whether you would like to discuss sustainability with a like-minded individual over “green drinks” or flip the channel over to Discovery Channel’s new Planet Green, there is information and inspiration available to any interested individual. People seem ready to jump on the green bandwagon, but some may be a little too eager. Maybe before we all run out and buy new Energy Star Appliances, organic cotton sheets and compact fluorescent bulbs we should stop and think about the consequences for a second. Don’t get me wrong, I will always be the first to say that we must reduce our energy consumption, our dependency on oil or improve the quality of our living and working conditions. However, let’s make sure that is what we are doing. Remember the three “R’s”? If you went to elementary school within the last 30 years you should remember them. If not, they are: reduce, reuse, and recycle. Let’s talk about the first one, reduce. Granted, if you go home and replace
every incandescent bulb in your home with brand new fluorescent blubs, your electric bill will be reduced. Which in turn, means your energy consumption has been reduced, right? Not necessarily. Think about the amount of energy that went into producing that perfectly good incandescent blub you just tossed in the trash. Consider the energy that it took to pull the raw materials from the Earth to create the metal, glass, filament and packaging; the energy to transport these materials to the manufacturer; the energy to transport the bulb to your favorite retailer; the energy the retailer used to entice you to purchase the bulb; the energy to get you to the retailer’s store to buy the bulb and then go back home. A majority of that energy was just tossed in the trash. Your bulb was not used to its full potential. This holds true for a lot of the items we may be replacing with greener technology. That brings me to the second “R”, reusing. From what I have seen on Planet Green and HGTV, it is in fashion to go to your local antique dealer or flea market and purchase early 20th century milk crates that have been transformed into nightstands. This is a wonderful idea if you don’t have perfectly good nightstands sitting at home already. If the nightstands are already there, what is wrong with them
now open in savannah Mall
and what do you plan to do with them when you get the new (or is it old) nightstands? Let me provide an example. I recently took my wife’s neglected bike in for repairs. I first went online and searched for the closest bike shop to my home (keep the money local and reduce my fuel costs for transportation). The bike was purchased several years ago and was not great quality to begin with. After a few years of sitting in the backyard, it was in serious disrepair and useless. When the bike was presented to the salesperson he was quick to respond with dismay. He “reluctantly” reported to us that the bike was in significant disrepair and that it would take, at the very least, $200 to repair the bike and we could purchase a new one for around $300. I had trouble with this concept. If the old bike is going to be in good shape for around $200, isn’t it more cost effective and better for the environment to reuse it as opposed to throwing it out? Then there is recycling. I think all of us know that we should think about anything that goes in our trash can; but what about those big ticket items? These green renovation shows would have you donate your old appliances to
organizations such as Habitat for Humanity. Again, this is a wonderful thing to do if you must get rid of your old stove; however, if you would like to make a real contribution to Habitat for Humanity, send them a check. Think about the abuse your appliance will take during removal, transportation and reinstallation. It would have likely had a much longer life sitting where it was. What was so wrong with it in the first place if you were willing to push it on another family? What about those countertops, cabinets, sinks, toilets, bathtubs, tile wallboard, etc? Can you recycle all of that? Certainly not all of it. The point I am trying to make is that we need to go back to the basics when making the decision to go green. The three “R’s” are sustainability at its purest. Reduce your consumption, reuse and continue to use whatever you can, and recycle whenever you can. If you want to buy a new item, make sure its creator had sustainability in mind, make sure that you are making green decisions when throwing out the old, and don’t throw out that incandescent blub until it has fulfilled its purpose. That would be the green thing to do. cs

Frederick Baldwin’s photos form a compelling chronicle of the civil rights movement in Savannah
Freedom through a lens
Baldwin exhibit at the Jepson highlights civil rights movement in Savannah by linda sickler | linda@connectsavannah.com
Frederick C. Baldwin’s encounters with the civil rights movement in Savannah were life-changing events. “I had just returned to Savannah,” he said recently. “I had been photographing polar bears. It was a big ego trip.” In 1960, Baldwin led an expedition to the Spitsbergen islands, about 600 miles from the North Pole. There, he took a series of photographs of polar bears underwater. Those photos were the first of their kind, and ended up being printed in Life magazine. “I was trying to make it as a freelance magazine photographer,” Baldwin said. “I was doing a lot of nutty stuff. All I wanted was to show I could do it.” Baldwin did get noticed. In 1963, he worked for Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy photographing street gangs and drug users in New York City. When Baldwin returned to Savannah, where he lived during his youth and where his mother still had a house, the civil rights movement was going strong. Deciding to photograph the events, Baldwin approached the subject much as he had that North Pole shoot — he just wanted to show he could do it. At first, Baldwin was out of his
league. “I was an active internationalist, but I didn’t know anything about the requirements of kids and black people,” he said. “My family had been exploiting black people for years. If you treated the cook in a nice way, it was civil — but it wasn’t civil rights.” The marchers and protesters soon accepted Baldwin as one of their own. “They were protecting me,” he says, especially one man — Lester Hankerson, known to everyone as “Big Lester.” Big Lester drove the “Ballot Bus,” a vehicle painted with slogans that was used to give free rides to prospective voters so they could register. Not everyone was eager to go, but Big Lester was very effective in convincing them. “This little white boy was invisible when standing next to Lester,” Baldwin said, adding that he knew people on both sides of the issue. “One of the members of the riot squad had been in the Marine Corps with me,” he said. Later, Baldwin was looking for another story to cover. “I bumped into the young men who were in the process of desegregating the high school,” he said. They included civil rights activist
George Shinhoster and current Mayor Otis Johnson. Baldwin believes echoes of their struggle remain today in the form of Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. “What we’ve got today is a very interesting situation,” Baldwin said. “It parallels what was going on in the 1960s and ‘70s. We have a moment in time that is rather extraordinary. We have an African American running for president.” Baldwin makes no bones about his support for Obama. He said he respects John McCain’s service record, but added Obama is the best candidate to lead the country. “I’ve been wounded twice in combat, but it doesn’t qualify me to be president,” Baldwin said. “We all have to do what we did back in those days,” he said. “We have to get behind an agent of change because this country is in big trouble. In spirit, we are all Big Lesters. You are in the position of leading this city and this state into better times.” Photographing the civil rights movement gave Baldwin a new outlook on his career and his life. “I looked around and there were people marching,” he said. “I learned so much from them. I never went back to the ego trips. I had found something a whole lot bigger
than me.” From then on, Baldwin used his photography to comment on social issues, including the plight of poor whites. He even worked to bring about change, as Peace Corps director in Borneo. Baldwin was born in 1929, in Lausanne, Switzerland, where his father was a U.S. diplomat. Baldwin served as a Marine during the Korean War, and was wounded twice. After leaving the Marines, Baldwin earned a bachelor of arts degree from Columbia College in New York. Today, he serves as the chairman of FotoFest, the United States’ first photography biennial, which he co-founded in Houston in 1983. Baldwin’s family never did understand his passion for equal rights. “My immediate family was my brother and mother,” he said. “They were decent, but they were extremely conservative people. I was the maverick.” However, Baldwin’s family accepted him, even when his actions made them uncomfortable. “My mother had a beautiful house over on Lafayette Square,” he said. “She hosted canasta parties. Many evenings when she had a party, the Ballot Bus would be parked in continues on p. 12

our driveway as guests were coming in, but she never said a word. “She knew I had my path,” Baldwin said. “A little eccentricity was allowed then. Savannah always had people who were different.” Baldwin’s heroes include the local doctor named Waring who shielded a young Savannah Country Day School student who had been accused of being homosexual. “He took the boy in and protected him,” Baldwin says. Another hero was Savannahian Bob Glenn, a Marine who served at Iwo Jima. “When John Kennedy was assassinated, there was about to be a large debutante ball at the Ogeechee Club,” Baldwin says. “They were going to go ahead with it. Bob Glenn stood up and said, ‘If you do this party, I’m out of here.’” Such actions took courage in those days. “A lot has to do with what the neighbors are going to think if you stick your neck out,” Baldwin said. “This has got to be understood. When something doesn’t happen, sometimes there are very good reasons for it.” While much was accomplished dur-

ing the civil rights movement, many issues remain. “We haven’t finished by any means,” Baldwin says. “There’s a lot of work to be done. Things are not easy. They weren’t easy then, and they aren’t easy today.” After all these years, Baldwin has forgotten many names and events — a situation he regrets. “1963 was a long time ago,” he said. “I’m writing a book about my life. The Savannah chapter is going to be an important part of it. I need to come back and get my memory replenished.” An exhibition of Baldwin’s civil rights photographs is on display at the Telfair’s Jepson Center for the Arts through Jan. 11. It is titled Freedom’s March: Photographs of the Civil Rights Movement in Savannah by Frederick C. Baldwin. A hardback book, which is available in the museum gift shop, has been released in conjunction with the exhibition. “The Telfair Museum about 25 years ago put together an excellent Frederick Baldwin photography exhibit,” Telfair Director Steven High said. “What they did with that project was capture a lot of the stories from the
civil rights era in a book. That book is long out of print. “We decided that this was the perfect time to bring the exhibition back,” he says. “We received a grant that enabled us to republish the book, entitled Freedom’s March.” In 1983, Baldwin’s images were displayed in a show at the Telfair and an accompanying book titled We ain’t what we used to be. It included first-hand accounts from people who experienced the civil rights movement, and those memories have been included in the new book. The current exhibition and book are particularly timely, High says. “I think it comes at a really important time in our country’s growth,” he says. “It’s a good time to look at what people experienced then.” A series of events has been scheduled to coincide with the exhibition in venues throughout the city. “This has been a phenomenal project,” said Harry DeLorme, Senior Curator of Education. “It’s a wonderful educational opportunity. “Generally, people in Savannah don’t know these stories,” he said. “It’s vitally

Blotter All cases from recent Savannah/Chatham Police Dept. incident reports
Poetry in motion
An officer in Forsyth Park observed a man approach a couple of tourists. One of the tourists took out some money and started to hand it to the man, but when the man saw the officer, he told them not to worry about the money. The officer turned away and acted as if he hadn’t seen anything, and the man then took the couples’ money. The officer approached them and asked what the man had told them. They said he had asked them for money and offered them a poem he had written in exchange. They said he told them he had a peddler’s license to sell poems. The officer asked to see his permit. “A permit for what?” the man asked. “A permit issued by the city,” the officer said. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” the man replied. “A vendor’s or peddler’s permit, in order to distribute the poems,” the officer
said, adding that if the man didn’t know what a peddler’s permit was, he obviously didn’t have one. “A permit for what, now?” the man asked, pulling out a peddler’s permit. “Is this what you want? It ain’t funny no more, is it?” The man said he knew his rights and asked the officer if he wanted to see if the permit was “fake” and if the officer knew what he was talking about. He was informed that he was obstructing an investigation and could be arrested. The man then threatened the officer. “You can arrest me if you want,” he said. “They gotta let me out some time. That’s what you need to be worried about. When I get out is when you need to worry, cause I’m gonna go up to New York and get some boys. We’ll come back down here and handle it. That’s why you need to worry. So you can take me to jail if you want to.” The man was arrested and taken to the Chatham County Detention Center. He was issued verbal warnings for not having his permit properly displayed and for approaching the tourist couple and not letting them approach him.
“Go ahead and arrest me,” the man said as he was handcuffed. “I’ll get the NAACP and Rev. Jesse Jackson to fix this.” • Police were called to a local hospital in reference to a fight. A woman told an officer she was hit with a gun butt. She said she was leaving a bar on River Street at about 2 a.m. and was walking with friends to her car when a fight broke out around them. Someone in the group tried to strike another person and instead struck her in the left eye. The woman’s friends told her she was knocked out for about five minutes. She said she heard the names “Vanda” and “Tay-Tay,” but doesn’t know who those people are and said she and her friends were not involved in the fight. The woman’s eye was red and swollen. She said vision in her eye was blurry.
• At least five vehicles were damaged recently when thieves used a punch device to rupture gas lines, then captured the leaking fuel in pans. When firefighters and hazardous materials technicians arrived in the area of West 35th and Florance streets on the report of a fuel leak, several people approached them and said their own vehicles also were leaking fuel. The firefighters began plugging leaks in the fuel lines and cleaning up spills in a oneblock radius of Florance, Harden, West 34th and West 35th streets. Savannah Chatham Metro Police took reports and witness statements from the victims. Because of the spilled and leaking fuel, the thefts are potentially dangerous to motorists. cs

Listen, with enough brass, a kid grown old can get away with anything nowadays. Mick Jagger strutting on stage at 63—from personal observation I can tell you it works. White-haired, potbellied Harley riders—let’s just say I’ve gotten used to them. Balding smartaleck columnists—they’ve still got it, absolutely. Maybe someday I’ll look at a choice example of wrinkled body art at the bingo game and think: Whoa, dearie. You rock. And that day is coming—a 2004 study estimated about a quarter of Americans had at least one tattoo, and among folks born between 1975 and 1986 the figure was 36 percent. One expert projects that eventually 40 percent of U.S. human bodies will sport at least one instance of epidermal art. Research suggests only 20 percent are dissatisfied with their markings, and just 6 percent actually seek to get them removed. The thing to remember is, tattoos are hardly new, and neither is tattoo remorse. The first known tattoo decorated the famous Otzi, a 5,300-year-old Neolithic hunter/warrior whose preserved remains were discovered in the Alps, and some Egyptian mummies bear evidence of attempted tattoo removal. The earliest description of getting rid of tattoos is from Greece—an inscription at the sanctuary of Asclepius of Epidaurus (400 BC) tells of one Pandarus, who had tattoos removed from his forehead with the help of the gods. The first earthly prescription for tattoo removal is from the Byzantine physician Aetius: First clean the stigmata with niter, smear them with resin

Here’s a quick way to lose a new friend: ask them if they think that tattoo that seemed like such a good idea at age 22 will appeal at age 45 or 60. I poked around, but couldn’t find stats about the numerous 50-somethings who no doubt seek removal of tattoos or express regret. Find anything on the subject? —Kevin, San Francisco
of terebing, and bandage for five days. Ship’s surgeon Lionel Wafer describes an attempt to remove a tattoo from the face of one of his companions during his travels in the mid-1600s. In 1879, the Daily Democrat of Sedalia, Mo., ran a story titled “In a Bad Fix,” which describes the plight of a jilted society woman who’d had her former lovers name tattooed on her leg. Initially the province of sailors and later circus performers (mostly female), tattoos became a status symbol among women of the upper crust in the late 19th century. The New York Times reported in 1880 that at least seven and a half percent of fashionable London ladies were tattooed in inaccessible localities. By 1891 Scientific American was publishing articles about tattoo removal techniques. In 1936, Life claimed one in ten Americans was tattooed but said tattoo artists erased two tattoos for every three they created—or at least tried to. Tattoo removal is still an imperfect science. While modern pulsed-laser technology beats the old methods of salabrasion (rubbing the tattoo off with salt), dermabrasion (freezing the skin and sanding the tattoo off), surgical excision, and application of caustic chemicals, its still not guaranteed. It requires multiple treatments, and it works better on some body parts and colors than others (ankle tattoos and yellow ink are especially tough). Some new developments may help. One is tattoo ink visible only under black light. Another ink marketed under the name Infinitink uses microencapsulation technology to simplify laser removal; supposedly one zap destroys the microcapsules so the body can absorb the pigment. There are lots of reasons to regret a tattoo, some more urgent than others. Plenty of folks have gotten misspelled tattoos—some of which have led to lawsuits. Others have obtained tattoos in languages that they didnt speak, only to learn the tattoos didn’t mean what they thought. Still others have allergic reactions to tattoo pigments. But mostly the reasons for removing a tattoo are what youd expect. Looking through a 2006 survey of tattoo removal patients (women outnumber men), I find things like “got tired of it” or “suffered embarrassment.” My favorite, though, is “just grew up.” cs

The ashram-museum in Ahmedabad devoted to India’s highly revered icon of freedom Mahatma Gandhi recently re-installed a replica of the spiritual leader’s personal toilet, in that Gandhi’s own hygiene-consciousness was such a part of his legacy. It is said that he cleaned the toilet daily and referred to it as his “temple,” but ashram officials had removed it in the 1980s as somehow inappropriate, according to a September dispatch from New Delhi in London’s Daily Telegraph. Gandhi had written that “a lavatory must be as clean as a drawing room.”

Bernard LeCorn, running for the school board in Ocala, Fla., declared himself the best-qualified school steward among the three candidates because of his “doctorate,” but the Ocala Star-Banner discovered that not only was it from a well-known diploma mill (cost: $249), but that Alabama A&M, a real school where he had claimed to be a faculty member after receiving bachelor’s and master’s degrees, had never employed him and had enrolled him for only one year. (In another diploma-mill fraud indictment in August, one alleged purchaser of a doctorate was Bart Anderson, superintendent of a school district in Columbus, Ohio.)

Texas law even requires shut-off hydrants to be painted black, but the firefighters still arrived without the tool, and by the time they retrieved it, Aderholt’s house was gone. • A member of Pakistan’s parliament stood his ground in August, defending news reports from his Baluchistan province that five women had been shot and then buried alive as tribal punishment for objecting to their families’ choosing husbands for them. A defiant Israr Ullah Zehri told the Associated Press, “These are centuries-old traditions, and I will continue to defend them,” despite condemnation by Zehri’s colleagues. “Only those who indulge in immoral acts should be afraid,” Zehri said.
Inexplicable
• The incredibly patient Joseph Shepard Sr., 53, sat quietly in St. Louisarea lockups for more than two years expecting that his lawyer, Michael Kelly, was working for his release on bond, but it turns out neither Kelly nor prosecutors nor the judge was doing anything at all. In fact, Shepard seemed innocently happy when a St. Louis PostDispatch reporter told him in August that he had looked into the case himself and that Shepard would be released soon. Shepard’s attitude: “If I just sit here long enough, something’s going to happen.” Three days later, federal judge Carol Jackson released Shepard and chastised Kelly.

(2) The U.S.’s most-ridiculed litigator, Roy Pearson of the Washington, D.C., drycleaning case (who in 2005 sued for $54 million over a pair of pants), announced in September he was appealing the dismissal of his case.
The Weirdo-American Community
Police in Knoxville, Tenn., arrested Richard Smith, 25, in September after he called 911 from an air duct in the Knoxville Museum of Art, and Smith immediately volunteered that he was “special agent 0-9-3-1” with the “United States Illuminati” and that he had come to retrieve a nuclear warhead from the Soviet Union that was concealed in a blue plastic cow in the basement, according to a report on WBIR-TV. Smith got trapped, he said, after he received a phone call aborting the mission because the cow was actually supposed to be in a museum in Memphis. He said he had entered the Museum of Art by being lowered from a “CH2 Huey” helicopter, but police basically rejected everything Smith said except his name.
Least Competent Criminals
Angel Cruz, 49, was indicted in August in Florida for various dubious financial schemes, including attempting to convince employees and contractors to accept his “United Cities Group” “currency” as of parallel value with U.S. currency. Cruz came to federal prosecutors’ attention when he tried to sneak $214 million of UCG money into a Bank of America branch in Miami and allegedly threatened to take over the bank when it balked at allowing withdrawals in U.S. dollars. cs

Pollution Equator An air pollution barrier, or “chemical equator,” that keeps the polluted air of the northern hemisphere from contaminating the lessindustrialized hemisphere to the south has been found by British scientists. Meteorologists have long known about a boundary of convective storms in equatorial regions that moves north and south with the seasons. The Intertropical Convergence Zone was once thought to be what kept northern air pollution from infiltrating the cleaner environs south of the equator. But writing in the Journal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres, a team from the University of York says they found a separate barrier about 30 miles wide in the cloud-
free western Pacific, where carbon monoxide levels were four times higher on the northern side.
Winged Menace Sudan’s troubled Darfur region has received another blow — this time from an invasion of starlings, known locally as zarzur. The Sudanese daily Alray Alaa’m reports that large flocks of the winged pests have descended upon South Darfur State, destroying crops and threatening to bring even more acute food shortages and higher prices.

Indian Ocean Eruption A fresh eruption of a volcano on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion created a small lake of lava and triggered a release of sulfur dioxide gas in an uninhabited area. Lava began spewing from a new crack in Piton de la Fournaise about midway up the slope of the crater, according to authorities. The volcano is one of the world’s most active and is a popular tourist attraction on the French overseas territory. The lava flow is the first since the mountain erupted violently in April 2007,
which was dubbed the “eruption of the century.” The volcano’s summit collapsed at that time, and lava sometimes spewed up to 650 feet into the air. Piton de la Fournaise is located in a remote area of Reunion and usually does not threaten the island’s population.

(NCAR) say they observed walnut trees releasing large amounts of an aspirin compound to reduce damage from adverse conditions, and to possibly warn nearby plants. “These findings show tangible proof that plant-to-plant communication occurs on the ecosystem level,” said NCAR scientist and study co-author Alex Guenther. Writing in Biogeosciences, the team said the finding could lead to farmers being able to recognize early warning signs from crops that they are about to fail. cs by steve newman, universal press syndicate

The stream of charged particles that rushes outward from the sun has weakened to its lowest level in at least 50 years, threatening to allow dangerous cosmic rays from deep space to reach the inner solar system. Measurements of solar wind by the Ulysses spacecraft show the wind’s pressure has dropped 20 percent since the mid1990s, and the temperature of the electrons within the flow has declined 13 percent.

Jonathan Richman
Kylesa, AGAGAG
Not realizing there was an opening band at Pinback’s recent Charleston date, my friends and I arrived too late to catch Savannah’s own Kylesa, who in an odd match-up (with far too little fanfare) is out on the road for a couple of weeks by special request of those way-cool indie-rockers. Fresh from cutting a new album, these internationallyknown exponents of the “Savannah sound” headline a massive bill that also includes the buzzworthy, locally-based “psychedelic hardcore” band A Girl A Gun A Ghost. This show kicks off a 26-date nationwide tour for the band, which has recently altered their lineup (much to the chagrin of some longtime fans who feel they may have sacrificed some of their uniqueness in the process). Also appearing: Knives Exchanging Hands and Before We Forget. Listen & Learn: myspace.com/kylesa, myspace. com/agirlagunaghost, myspace. com/knivesexchanginghands. Fri., 11 pm, The Jinx.
Marce, Lauren Lapointe, Hannah Miller
Locally-based artist Lauren Lapointe is often at the epicenter of the female singer/songwriter game. A tireless independent musician, she got into the game relatively late, but her last CD hit #13 on the Roots Music Report Folk Charts. She’s also organized acoustic showcases at this popular eatery and venue. This time around, she’s joined
Jonathan Richman & Tommy Larkins
It’s been exactly 18 years since this legendary indie-rock singer/songwriter graced Savannah with his inimitable presence, and in that time an awful lot has changed for the former frontman and founder of The Modern Lovers. His frequent late-night TV appearances on the Conan O’Brien show and high-profile cameos in such hit Farrelly Bros. films as Kingpin and There’s Something About Mary earned him a small legion of new fans and tremendous worldwide recognition as “that skinny guy with the guitar and the deadpan shtick.” However, Richman’s earnest and confessional brand of childlike, guileless tunesmithing is no shtick. He’s as genuine and upfront as they come. Few recording artists in this day and age have as devoted and loyal a fanbase as Richman, who’s been making records since the early ‘70s. The Modern Lovers bridged the gap between the atonal noise-pop of The Velvet Underground, the cocksure, organdrenched bravado of The Doors and the jackhammer declaraby Gainesville, Fl.’s Marce (whose sensual stage presence and message-oriented lyrics won her Folk Song of The Year in VH-1’s 2006 Save The Music Awards) and Columbia, S.C.’s Miller, whose career is said to be off to a great start (she’s receiving plenty of college airplay, and has opened for the likes of Sarah Lee Guth-
rie and Danielle Howle). Listen & Learn: marceonline.com, hannahmillermusic.com, laurenl.com. $5 - $10 sugg. donation. Sat., 8 pm, Sentient Bean Coffeehouse - ALL-AGES.

tions of Iggy Pop’s Stooges. They —perhaps more than any other one group— encapsulated what would later be called punk and new-wave. However, in 1973, after experiencing an epiphany while touring Bermuda, Richman insisted his bandmates turn down their amps and embrace the feel-good mind-set of acoustic Calypso troubadours. Not surprisingly, they instead quit. Two would join the lineups of (respectively) Talking Heads and The Cars. Richman soldiered on, carving out a niche for himself with a catalog of imminently memorable songs which vacillated between the absurdly lighthearted (“Pretty Little Chewing Gum Wrapper”), documentarian (“Fender Stratocaster”) and bracingly honest (“My Career as a Homewrecker”). He tours worldwide for a few months a year with just an acoustic guitar and maracas, backed by his old friend, drummer Tommy Larkins. Regardless of what songs he pulls out of his bag, this rare appearance (co-sponsored by Connect) will likely go down as one of the more memorable local shows of the past decade.

This triple-bill has all the makings of an absolute smash for fans of edgy, melodic modern punk, and will likely see a sizable number of locals making the hour-long drive to this South Carolina venue. Florida quartet Against Me! appeal to a wide variety of listeners, and are riding a growing wave of critical and commercial acclaim. Their last CD was also their first on a somewhat major label, Sire. This string of dates will be their last for a while, as frontman Tom Gabel will soon hit the road with an ad-hoc supergroup consisting of members of Lucero, Hot Water Music and Avail. Support on this outing comes courtesy of the double-good Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, Touch & Go artists who’ve been steadily competing for the title of “Best U.S. Rock Act You’ve Never Heard Of ” for years now. The band to watch, however, may just wind up being the first ones on the bill — often a slot where one finds less-than-stellar newbies, but (as in this case) occasionally real contenders with little or no name recognition. Future of the Left have just released a pretty damn impressive debut, which isn’t entirely surprising, since 2/3 of this Welsh trio used to be in Mclusky. That group imploded after making three albums, the last two produced by the über-prickly Steve Albini (Pixies, Nirvana, Shellac) who famously dubbed them “the only good band in Britain.” The new group, including one former member of Jarcrew, makes scathingly absurd (and sometimes quite funny) noise-rock that’s equal parts confrontation, agitation, insubordination and pontification. This club date (approx. 500 capacity) may just wind up being one of those “I saw them back then” moments. As for why a show like this is taking place in the relatively chi-chi environs of a resort island and not in Savannah (where it makes a hell of a lot more sense): it’s because in S.C., they still let folks under 21 into bars, but don’t allow them to buy alcohol, unlike Savannah, which outlawed this practice. As most of the wellknown rock and punk bands these days rely on the ticket sales of high school and college fans to keep them afloat on the road, there’s almost no way Savannah venues can afford to pay such groups to play in a town where half their fans can’t get in to see them. Sucks, huh? Be safe on the road. Listen & Learn: againstme. net, tedleo.com, futureoftheleft.com. Tix: $17 adv. / $20 door at stageshhi.com. Thurs., 8 pm, Stages (Hilton Head).
This award-winning songwriter has been hailed as an artist with tremendous potential, and as someone who “understands how to create, write and construct a hit tune.” Noted for his coastal upbringing, there’s a decided lightness of being in his material that reminds many critics and

On 150th anniversary of Forsyth fountain, the Savannah Sinfonietta debuts its name change at Picnic in the Park
21
by jim morekis | jim@connectsavannah.com
As part of the annual free Picnic in the Park event, the Savannah Orchestra — formerly the Savannah Sinfonietta — will perform an homage to the well-known “Proms” light orchestral tradition. “Around the world, pops concerts are an institution,” explains Savannah Orchestra conductor and artistic director William Keith. “You’ve got the Boston Pops, and you’ve got the Ravinia program, and Philadelphia. The big thing in the British Isles is the Proms. They have the Scottish Proms, and the English Proms, and the big one of course is the outdoor picnic concert at Hyde Park.” Short for “promenade concerts,” a prom describes an outdoor symphonic presentation where the audience is generally invited to walk around during the show; in Britain “prommers” also refers to those with cheaper, standing-roomonly tickets. “The Proms is a big chestnut concert lots of great opera, great overtures, warhorses, and light music. It’s a fun day, with a lot of engagement by the participants,” says Keith. “So we’ve kind of crafted a Proms program, with a British/Euro theme. Some Leroy Anderson because this year is Anderson’s 100th anniversary. And we’re doing some British things, some St.-Saens, some 1812 Overture, and a few opera selections.” Guest vocalist this year is KristaWilhelmsen. “She’s a superb soprano, and people instantly recognize La Boheme, so we thought this would be a great chance to get some Puccini out there,” says Keith. “And on top of it, she’ll be back with us again for a performance in February, so this will be a great little promo for her.” This year’s Picnic in the Park will be the first under the group’s new name, The Savannah Orchestra. Why the name change? Bill Keith explains: “When we started the Sinfonietta
downtown, near city market
Savannah Orchestra Artistic Director William Keith
three years ago, we didn’t expect that it would unfold so rapidly, in that we would be seen as the heir apparent in Savannah for past symphony duties (laughs), those things that are part of the cultural fabric that were left devoid when the Savannah Symphony went bankrupt. Like Picnic in the Park, like the Messiah singalong, or the Levy concert at the JEA,” says Keith. “Secondly, I think the name Savannah Orchestra kind of says what we do more clearly and more understandably than Sinfonietta. Sinfonietta is a beautiful, almost sexy little Euro name, but this makes it so there’s no confusion over what we are and what we aspire to be going forward.” An added wrinkle of this year’s Picnic in the Park —totally serendipitously — is the fact that it takes place almost 150 years to the day after the unveiling of the historic Forsyth Park Fountain, on Oct. 6, 1858. The genesis of the idea apparently came in an anonymous 1845 letter — perhaps written by William Hodgson himself, who would eventually donate the land we now know as Forsyth Park. The letter writer said, “Let these grounds be beautified with flowers, and fountains and statues – let the poor man when his daily toil is over, have a resort where he and his family can have an hour’s relaxation and rational enjoyment – where his eye may be gratified
by objects of taste, and where strains of inspiring music may minister to his delights.” A Savannah Morning News editor wrote in 1854 that “to complete the panorama from river to park, we only require a handsome fountain, to make our Bull Street one of the handsomest promenades in the cities of the South.” On March 4, 1858, the Savannah City Council authorized the purchase of the fountain, installed later that summer. Two days after the October unveiling, a Morning News account said: “We heard but one opinion expressed by the large concourse of citizens who assembled in the Park to witness its performance on Wednesday evening, and that opinion found expression in terms of unbounded admiration.... We predict that our fountain will become a popular institution.” cs Picnic in the Park Main program at 7:30 p.m. includes music by Puccini, Tchaikovsy, St.-Saens, more.

Sex and the city
Lysistrata begins new era for SSU drama by linda sickler | linda@connectsavannah.com
The Savannah State University Players by the Sea will open their new season with something old. Lysistrata is an ancient Greek comedy, written in 411 BC by Aristophanes. It will be presented Oct. 2-5 in Kennedy Auditorium. The play is being directed by drama instructor Teresa-Michelle Walker. “It’s a Greek classic, probably the most popular of the Greek comedies,” Walker says. “These women under the leadership of Lysistrata unite from all the surrounding towns to stop the Peloponnesian War. “What Lysistrata suggests is if women withhold sex from their men, they’ll eventually sign a peace treaty,” she says. “I always ask my students, ‘Do you think this would work today?’” It’s no wonder Lysistrata and the other women were tired of war. At the time period seen in the play, the Peloponnesian War had been going on for 20 years, and there was a dearth of eligible bachelors because so many men had been killed in battle. The women block access to a public building as part of their stand against the war. “Greek plays usually show women as very sex-starved and weak,” Walker says. “This woman is strong. All the women around her are weak and begging to have sex. Lysistrata sees the Acropolis as the place where all the money is. She figures they can’t fight a war without money.” Eventually, the men are in so much pain, they agree to sign a peace treaty. With the United States involved in an unpopular war, Walker says Lysistrata is just as timely now as it was in 411 BC. “We need something lighthearted,” she says. “People are sad, the economy is bad. We need something to make people forget their problems and laugh.”
The production marks a new beginning for theater at SSU. “ We really wanted to revamp the whole theater program,” Walker says. “We really wanted to stage a Greek classic, yet something that is lighthearted. This is something the students will have fun with and relate to. It is definitely something that is timeless.” The season will close with a Shakespearean drama. “We’ve taken our program and tried to provide shows of every genre of theater,” Walker says. “Before, most of the productions were African-American theater. We want our actors to be wellrounded.” Up next will be Nora, an adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, written by filmmaker Ingmar Bergman. The third production will be Blues for an Alabama Sky by Pearl Cleage, followed by Pericles. “We’ll finish off the season with Shakespeare, which they’ve never done here, that I know of,” Walker says. “I’ve talked to two past professors who say Shakespeare wasn’t done while they were here. “I was looking at our actors’ resumes and noticed they were lacking in some areas,” she says. “We really want our actors be well-rounded, not just wonderful actors for a black school.” David I.L Poole has been hired at SSU as a drama instructor, technical director and designer. “He has just been instrumental in this production,” Walker says. “Our performance will be a little different because we have an African influence in the costumes and full masks,” she says. “They are just gorgeous. I can’t help staring at them. It’s a fusion between Greek and African with over-the-top hair and jewelry.” Everyone involved has been putting in long hours in preparing for the production. “We’re here from 8 a.m. to midnight,”
The production uses masks in the ancient Greek style, but with an African twist
Walker says. “We’re burning the midnight oil. Even my daughter is here. She’ll be two in November. We eat, sleep and think theater.” Poole is excited to be a part of the drama renaissance at SSU. He will direct Nora, which will feature Victorian costumes, and Pericles, and has enjoyed designing the costumes for Lysistrata. “I’m pairing the ancient Greek notions with African patterns, colors, textures and mask work,” Poole says. “We’ve been building sets and costumes like crazy. It evokes a warm comical environment with this play. The students are learning a lot and having a great time doing it.” Revamping the theater department is overdue, Poole says. “I think it’s a wonderful idea,” he says. “When I was brought onboard, we both sat down in meetings. We talked about how we can make it better. “It’s going to be a lot of hard work, but a very interesting year,” Poole says. “We’re doing pieces that aren’t classic African-American pieces, except for Blues for an Alabama Sky. I think it’s very important for actors to get all the flavors of the theater, not just specific genres.” Students in the drama department are ready for the challenge. Leneshia Dixon came to SSU from Chicago. “I will be an actress, I promise,” Dixon says. “When I was little, I would act by myself, in my room with my dolls. My dolls were my co-stars. “I always say thanks to my mom for
putting up with me and being my co-star,” she says. “She and my father have always supported me in this.” There are 12 in the cast, with seven women and five men. Dixon has the role of Lysistrata. “Lysistrata is totally gracious, dominant — she’s just it, period,” Dixon says. “She’s running things. She’s very intelligent. “The costumes look so amazing. Professor Poole and Professor Walker do so much. Everything is looking really good.” Elizabeth Oliver of Savannah is the leader of the chorus of women. The theater minor is majoring in mathematics. “I started in theater by taking a class with Professor Walker,” Oliver says. “From there, I just fell in love with it. The rest is history.” Oliver says Lysistrata is a perfect model for the updated theater department. “This is a different experience, not quite what we’re used to, but it’s an amazing, amazing change,” she says. Ashley Farmer of Savannah plays Myrene. “Myrene is kind of the hardheaded one out of the group,” Farmer says. “Lysistrata is trying to get women to stand up, but she’s kind of hesitant. She’s still tempted by her husband, but in the end, she ends up following Lysistrata.” At first, Farmer expected something quite different. “I thought it would be a serious play,” she says. “I was really surprised.” Farmer is a theater major. After graduation, she’ll get a teacher’s certificate from Georgia Southern University. “While I’m pursing an acting career, I’ll be teaching so I won’t be a starving artist,” she says. Audiences will be as surprised as she was, Farmer says. “They won’t expect it to be as funny as it is,” she says. “It’s hilarious.” cs

Over a dozen horror & sci-fi films to be screened locally this month by jim reed | jim.r@connectsavannah.com
Wanna see something really scary? Then you’re in luck for the next five weeks, as two local independent film societies and one corporate-owned cineplex are offering movie lovers a whopping total of 14 different horror and sci-fi flicks — all on big screens (including the largest in Savannah) for one show only each. The titles range from such well-known fare as 1956’s timeless outer-space update of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Forbidden Planet (starring a pre-deadpan Leslie Neilsen) and Alfred Hitchcock’s suspense classic Psycho to rare or forgotten productions such as 1977’s post-modern vampire tale Martin (from Night of The Living Dead’s George A. Romero) and 1973’s made-for-TV thriller Don’t Be Afraid of The Dark, soon to be remade by Pan’s Labyrinth director Guillermo del Toro. In between those two extremes, one will find an acclaimed new documentary on sci-fi author and social critic Harlan Ellison (who penned standout TV episodes of Star Trek and The Twilight Zone plus many novels and short stories), Stanley Kubrick’s controversial adaptation of Stephen King’s The Shining, and Deranged — considered the most faithful depiction of ‘50s grave robber and serial killer Ed Gein, whose exploits also inspired The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Silence of The Lambs. The Savannah Film Society’s Meaghan Walsh (managing director of the Lucas Theatre), says they’ve been working on their “Sci-Fi Weekend” for about five months, and feel their films illustrate the evolution of cinematic sci-fi. “We figured Forbidden Planet was a great example of what we now consider camp,” she explains. “It’s fun and silly, yet
you can absolutely see the influence it had on Gene Roddenberry and Star Trek. “Village of the Damned is the opposite. It’s a well-wrought picture with paranormal elements that takes itself quite seriously — and is far better than John Carpenter’s remake.” Walsh says the SFS really scored, though, when it nabbed Dreams With Sharp Teeth (the Ellison doc). “It’s only been shown a handful of times,” Walsh enthuses. “This is a really special opportunity to see one of the bestreviewed films of its type made this year.” Wynnsong 11’s Manager Michael Pimentel has high hopes their Thursday night Fright Fest will draw decent crowds — even at his location near Georgetown. Every film in their lineup is considered a classic of its genre, even if that genre is ‘80s slasher films (i.e., My Bloody Valentine and the original Friday The 13th). Obscurity, however, is the name of the game for the Psychotronic Film Society, which revels in unearthing little-known and/or infamous gems at its regular Wednesday night screenings at the Sentient Bean. Most of their October lineup (including the 2000 Japanese zombie epic Wild Zero starring garage band Guitar Wolf and the BBC-made A Warning To The Curious — called “an unparalleled master-
piece of eeriness”) have not been shown publicly in the U.S. for decades, if ever. Trailers at connectsavannah.com.

The Duchess A substantial number of British costume dramas focus on the efforts of a corseted beauty to land a husband to call her own. These tales generally end on a “Happily Ever After” note, but The Duchess, based on a true story (chronicled in Amanda Foreman’s book Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire), begins where the others end and takes matters down a darker route: What if the man you snag turns out to be a complete lout? That’s the central storyline establishing The Duchess, which hands Keira Knightley another plum leading role and serves as yet another example of how Ralph Fiennes’ brooding brand of acting can be successfully employed for all manner of characters. Knightley stars as Georgiana, who, as a teenage girl in 1774, is entered by her mother (Charlotte Rampling) into a marriage with the Duke of Devonshire (Fiennes). Georgiana soon discovers that the Duke’s only interest in her is that she produce a male heir, so after she gives birth to a couple of girls, he loses complete interest and embarks on an affair with her best friend, Lady Elizabeth (Hayley Atwell). For her part, Georgiana keeps busy in her role as a society trendsetter, but she even-
tually finds herself contemplating an illicit romance with her longtime acquaintance, rising politician Charles Grey (Dominic Cooper). The Duke commits some monstrous acts during the course of the film, but it’s a credit to the performance by Fiennes as well as Saul Dibb’s direction that the character never emerges as a dull, one-note villain but rather an emotionally stifled man whose Neanderthal brain can’t quite grasp certain aspects of civility and respect. As for Knightley, she’s establishing herself as England’s go-to girl for this sort of period epic: A bright and sunny presence in Pride and Prejudice (albeit used far less effectively in), she’s given greater depths to explore in this picture. She doesn’t disappoint.
There’s a scene in Miracle at St. Anna in which a light bulb mysteriously (to the character, not to us) flickers back to life, and the sequence is staged in such a manner that it feels as if director Spike Lee is paying tribute to Federico Fellini, that Italian maestro of both whimsical visions and self-reflective filmmaking. Alas, that moment passes, and it no longer becomes clear exactly what Lee is honoring with this baffling motion picture. Certainly, by orchestrating this screen version of James McBride’s novel (scripted by the author himself), Lee wants to pay tribute to the black soldiers who served this country during World War II. But a more linear narrative might have helped him accomplish that goal. Miracle at St. Anna turns out to be a clusterfuck of good intentions crossed with clunky storytelling, opening and closing with a contemporary (read: 1983) framework that’s supposed to infuse the story with a heady mystery. But it doesn’t take long for viewers to crack the case, meaning that all of this footage could have been excised with no harm, no foul. The flashback portion of the movie finds four AfricanAmerican soldiers -- pensive 2nd Staff Sergeant Stamps (Derek Luke), swaggering Sergeant Cummings (Michael Ealy), sensible Corporal Negron (Laz Alonso) and sweet, simpleminded Private 1st Class Train (Omar Benson Miller) -- stranded in a Tuscan village in Nazi-occupied territory. The soldiers’ white commander (Randy and the Mob’s Walt Goggins, again playing not merely a stereotype of a good ole boy but a stereotype of a stereotype) can’t be counted on for support from his safety zone miles away, so the quartet take it upon themselves to protect the villagers as well as themselves. This in turn leads to underdeveloped storylines involving Italian partisans, supernatural intervention and, worst of all, an ongoing feud between Stamps and Cummings as both men vie for the attention of a shapely villager (Valentina Cervi, trapped in an impossible madonna/whore role). Despite his personal commitment to the material, Lee rarely blesses this picture with his trademark style, an expression of cinematic prowess that enlivens even his clunkiest films. On the contrary, there’s no moviemaking miracle at work here, just a half-baked project that might be Lee’s biggest disappointment to date.
Nights in Rodanthe Diane Lane and the Tuscan countryside prove to be a more dynamic duo than Diane Lane and the Outer Banks, an assertion that immediately becomes clear when placing Under the Tuscan Sun and Nights in Rodanthe side by side. Neither film, of course, could be accused of basking in originality, but the former at least made the most of its setting and its star, resulting in a winning romantic comedy whose lovestruck spirit rubbed off on audience members eager to lap up its sense of joie de vivre. The coastalCarolina-shot Rodanthe, on the other hand, starts off well as Tuscan Sun’s more serious-minded cousin, but it eventually sinks under the weight of the shameless plot devices thrust upon it by author Nicholas Sparks and adapters Ann Peacock and John Romano. Lane, teaming with Richard Gere for the third time (following 1984’s The Cotton Club and 2002’s Unfaithful, the latter for which she deservedly earned a Best Actress Oscar nomination), plays Adrienne Willis, who agrees to look after her best friend’s (Viola Davis) beachfront inn at the same time that her philandering husband (Christopher Meloni) is begging her to let him come back. Gere co-stars as Paul Flanner, a doctor brooding over a minor surgery procedure that went tragically wrong. As the only two people stuck at the inn, Adrienne and Paul open up to each other and gradually fall in love. For a while, Nights in Rodanthe works as a mature and even touching drama -look for a powerful appearance by Scott Glenn as a grieving widow -- but then the melodramatic devices take over.
Eagle Eye The peril of encroaching technology has been a cinematic mainstay at least since Stanley Kubrick allowed HAL to temporarily get the upper hand in 1968’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (film purists can feel free to go even further back, to Fritz Lang’s 1927 Metropolis), but rarely has this intriguing concept been presented as daftly as in the new thriller Eagle Eye. Executive-produced by Steven Spielberg (whose own techno-infused thriller, the superb Minority Report, bests this on every imaginable plane), this tiresome action yarn finds slacker Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBeouf) and single mom Rachel continues on p. 34

Holloman (Michelle Monaghan) drawn into what appears to be a terrorist strike against the United States. Initially strangers, they find themselves working together after each one receives threatening phone calls from a woman who orders them to carry out her instructions ... or else. The owner of the disembodied voice seemingly has control over every electronic device in sight, as she’s able to manipulate traffic lights, power lines, subway cars, and even cell phones. Meanwhile, hot on Jerry’s trail is government agent Thomas Morgan (Billy Bob Thornton, coming off as the dimwitted cousin of Tommy Lee Jones’ sharp tracker in The Fugitive), who can’t decide whether the kid is really a terrorist or just a dupe who’s been set up. Even allowing for the big twist that explains the villain’s identity, this movie requires a greater suspension of disbelief than might be humanly possible.
Burn After Reading As is the case with most great filmmakers, Joel and Ethan Coen produce only two classifications of pictures. There’s Major Coen, like No Country for Old Men and Fargo, and there’s Minor Coen, such as Intolerable Cruelty and The Big Lebowski. (And then there’s the strange case of Raising Arizona, which looks Minor but is Major every step of the way.) Burn After Reading is decidedly Minor Coen, which means that it’s still more enjoyable than a lot of the product out there. With George Clooney and Brad Pitt in full-on clown mode, the film feels as much of an insignificant riff as those Ocean heist flicks, but with the Coens at the helm, it features a pitch-black comic sensibility that will either attract or repel moviegoers. The memoirs of a recently fired CIA wonk (John Malkovich) accidentally fall into the hands of a pair of idiotic gym employees (Pitt and Frances McDormand). Their awkward attempts at blackmail produce a vortex of misunderstandings that also ensnares the ex-CIA suit’s aloof wife (Tilda Swinton) and her lover (Clooney), a bundle of energy who enjoys jogging, womanizing and building stuff in his basement (his creation yields one of the film’s biggest laughs and will be at the top of most women’s Christmas wish lists). The three guys are more fun to watch than the two gals, although the film is stolen by J.K. Simmons (Juno’s dad) as a thoroughly confused CIA bigwig. Still, while the picture offers strikingly off-kilter characterizations and a number of huge
guffaws, it won’t remain in the memory like most of the siblings’ output.
Ghost Town Given the dearth of quality romantic comedies produced by the major studios -- these days, it’s up to the independent outfits to provide them -- it’s a pleasant surprise to discover that Ghost Town manages to buck the odds. Certainly, the high-concept storyline makes it sound as dreary as a Kate Hudson vehicle. Bertram Pincus (Ricky Gervais), a dour dentist who avoids interacting with people at all costs, suddenly finds himself surrounded by dead people. That’s because he himself died for seven minutes while undergoing a routine colonoscopy, and this established an open line of communication with restless ghosts still hovering around Manhattan. Chief among them is Frank Herlihy (Greg Kinnear), who demands that Bertram prevent his widow Gwen (Tea Leoni) from marrying a human rights lawyer (Billy Campbell). Ghost Town is given a significant boost by the presence of Gervais, whose caustic wit and nononsense demeanor provide the picture with more of an edge than it would have received with a more conventional leading man at the helm. But the picture surprises in other ways as well, thanks to unexpected tweaks in the script co-written by John Kamps and director David Koepp (best known for penning such blockbusters as Jurassic Park, Spider-Man and the latest Indiana Jones installment). Kinnear’s ethereal hubby isn’t exactly the dashing nice guy he initially seems, while the emotionally torn widow played by Leoni (who really needs to appear in more movies) isn’t just a pawn to be moved around by the three men in her life but instead takes control of the situations presented before her. Charming and unassuming, Ghost Town offers enough in the way of laughs to raise anyone’s spirits.
The Women The witty and wise 1939 screen version of The Women, based on Clare Booth Luce’s play and helmed by “woman’s director� George Cukor, has been unfortunately refashioned as a Sex and the City wanna-be, in the process losing all the smoldering conflicts and zesty support system of its classic predecessor. In that version, Norma Shearer’s angelic society woman had to decide whether to stay married to a

THE HOUSE BUNNY According to the Internet Movie Database, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner has appeared as himself (or a variation thereof) in over 150 movies, TV shows and video productions, including episodes of Laverne & Shirley, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and Sex and the City. Presumably, Hefner enjoys lengthier screen time in the new comedy The House Bunny, although personally I don’t think he’ll ever top his cameo in the Roman Empire segment of Mel Brooks’ History of the World: Part I, wherein he sports a toga while brandishing his trademark pipe and explaining to a bevy of beauties that “It’s a new concept; I call it the centerfold.” In The House Bunny, the 82-year-old Hef serves as a father figure of sorts to Shelley Darlingson (Anna Faris), a Playboy bunny who lives at his legendary mansion and dreams of becoming the magazine’s next centerfold. But right after her 27th birthday (59 in Bunny years, she’s told), she’s kicked out of the house, although it’s not long before she
finds herself with a new gig: serving as a house mother to the socially awkward girls from the Zeta Alpha Zeta sorority. Soon, she’s instructing them on how to attract boys and pledges while they’re teaching her how to depend on more than just her looks. The House Bunny was co-written by the same women (Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith) who penned Legally Blonde, and it’s safe to say that their roots are showing. This is basically an inferior version of that Reese Witherspoon hit, and it isn’t even up to the standards of last year’s similarly plotted Amanda Bynes comedy Sydney White. But Faris strikes the proper airhead notes, and Lutz and Smith feed her some funny lines.

husband who dared to dally with Joan Crawford’s skanky shopgirl. With nary a male in sight but an all-female-cast to die for (Rosalind Russell, Paulette Goddard and Joan Fontaine were also part of the ensemble), the picture began with a playful title sequence and went on to examine females as complicated beings forced to simultaneously respond to social duties, potentially duplicitous acquaintances, and the demands of their own independent hearts. Predictably, this new version opens with a nod toward modern materialism (a woman mentally catalogues each item in a department store with an inner computer not unlike the Terminator’s) and then proceeds to offer contemporary stereotypes rather than memorable individuals. Here, everything has been smoothed out to the point of tepidity: Eva Mendes (as the hubby-swiper) is merely naughty where Crawford was lethal, and Russell’s role as a backstabbing “frenemy” has been transformed into Annette Bening’s tough-yet-tender editor. Meanwhile, Meg Ryan (as the jilted spouse) doesn’t stray too far from her established persona, while Jada Pinkett Smith’s casting in a worthless role (cut it, and the movie doesn’t change at all) demonstrates that writer-director Diane English was more interested in covering all demographics than in making any salient points about 21st-century girl power.

mamma mia! Meryl Streep fans and ABBA fans can at least count on those two components firing on all cylinders in this adaptation of the Broadway smash. Everyone else, though, may be forced to rummage through the debris that constitutes the rest of the picture to find anything worth salvaging.

THE DARK KNIGHT It was 30 years ago that the Christopher Reeve version of Superman was released, and now we have its equal on the other side of the aisle, a superhero saga that’s as dark and deep as its forefather was cheery and colorful. Even in superior entertainment like Spider-Man and Iron Man, there’s a feeling that it’s all make-believe, but The Dark Knight offers no such safety net -- it wears its danger on its sleeve. In this outing, Batman (Christian Bale) has done a fine job of tightening the reins around the mob bosses who have long controlled Gotham City, and he’s soon aided in his efforts by idealistic district attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart). But their combined attempts to corral the city’s crooks are hampered by the presence of a murderous psychopath known as The Joker (Heath Ledger). Eckhart stands out in what proves to be the picture’s most fully realized characterization, though we all know who’s the MVP of this particular show: The late Ledger is simply mesmerizing as this whirling dervish of cackling, lip-smacking, cheek-sucking sin. cs

ARIES
March 21-April 19 In her book *Courtney Love: The Queen of Noise,* Melissa Rossi reports that in the mid-1990s “Courtney surrounded herself with a coterie of soothsayers, even approaching hipster stargazer Rob Brezsny, who declined to provide his astrological services.” Rossi doesn’t explain why I declined, but I’ll tell you. Courtney wasn’t interested in the kind of information I specialize in. She pressed me to tell her whether her romantic future should be with Trent or Billy, and I urged her to talk about the changes she could make in herself and her life to get clear about what she wanted. She implored me to predict her future, and I prodded her to formulate intelligent questions that would help her create a beautiful and interesting future for herself. I bring this up, Aries, because in the coming weeks I hope you will do what I suggested she try back then.
TAURUS
April 20-May 20 Taurus actor Pierce Brosnan told *Parade* magazine how shocking it was to get fired after playing the role of James Bond for four films. But after the initial pain he felt from being rejected, he eventually got to the point where he could say, “I’m free now. I can do anything I want.” What helped him recover was conjuring up the proper attitude. “You’ve got to be a fighting rooster,” he said. That’s half of my prescription for you in the coming week, Taurus. Be a charismatic warrior as you push to further your highest ideals and brightest desires. Be a stylishly fierce liberator in charge of designing your own freedom. Be a fighting rooster with the heart of an artist.
GEMINI
May 21-June 20 Do you believe in higher love at first sight? How about instant enlightenment? And what about higher love at first sight that brings instant enlightenment, or instant enlightenment that provokes higher love at first sight? These are themes I suspect you’ll soon be flirting with, Gemini. In order to get all of the blessings from the lessons they’ll offer, you must dispense with your preconceived notions about what
they might entail. You’ve got to wash your own brain so it’s nice and clean and empty of expectations.
CANCER
June 21-July 22 Your creed for the last three months of 2008 comes from Nikos Kazantzakis: “By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.” Memorize this meme, Cancerian. Imprint it on your subconscious mind. Make it so much a part of you that it breathes as you breathe, and dreams as you dream. Allow it to turn you into a magician whose potent desire is as strong as the longings of ten normal people put together.
LEO
July 23-Aug. 22 *Gleeking* is a term that refers to a special kind of projectile spitting. To do it, you’ve got to practice. It involves pressing your tongue against your submaxillary salivary gland when a pool of drool has accumulated nearby. I recommend this practice for you in the coming week, Leo. It’ll be a favorable time for you to be undignified, unpredictable, and even outrageous in expressing yourself. Other suggested practices: telling unruly stories concisely, speaking the truth with picturesque but disciplined extravagance, adding some vivid new slang to your body language, and skipping and hopping or even dancing as you walk. (For instructions on how to gleek, go to tinyurl.com/hn7vo.)
VIRGO
Aug. 23-Sept. 22 Talk back to those annoying voices in your head, Virgo -- I mean those nagging little chatterers who are second- guessing you ten times a day, who are trying to undermine your faith in what you started in recent weeks. And as you respond to their agitation, do so with poise and grace -- not with defensiveness, not with bitter complaint, but with a quietly aggressive confidence that the lucid intuitions you relied on to launch your new projects were basically sound. The annoying little voices are trying to convince you that you should go back to square one, when in fact you’re on the
right track but merely need to do some tinkering.
LIBRA
Sept. 23-Oct. 22 “New ideas show up disguised innocently as interruptions, contradictions, and embarrassing dilemmas,” says motivational speaker Rob Lebow. “Beware of total strangers and friends alike who shower you with comfortable sameness, and remain open to those who make you uneasy, for they are the true messengers of the future.” That excellent advice is my birthday present to you, Libra. If you make use of it during the next three weeks, I bet you’ll consistently be in the right place at the right time to extract the maximum benefit from your blind dates with destiny.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23-Nov. 21 Robert Downey Jr. is grateful to Burger King for serving him such gross food. After eating a particularly foul meal there in 2003, he told *Empire* magazine, he was so disgusted that he drove to the beach and hurled all of his drugs into the sea. It was the shock he needed to begin the process of kicking his addiction. In that spirit, Scorpio, I suggest you seek out a similar epiphany -- whether that involves an encounter with greasy, fried cow meat or some other phenomenon that triggers your urge to rise up and purify yourself.
SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21
It’s a seller’s market for you, Sagittarius. If I were you, I wouldn’t buy a bunch of new stuff or invest in unripe possibilities. Rather, I’d cash in on the hard work I’ve been doing for many months now. I’d quit while I was ahead. I’d liquefy assets that might soon decline in their value to me but that are still at the height of their value to other people. In order for you to summon the brisk confidence necessary to pull this off, you’ll have to resist greedy temptations to hold on to everything a little while longer.
CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Most American companies don’t pay any federal income tax. During a recent seven-year period, 1.3 mil-
lion businesses earned well over a trillion dollars but didn’t pony up a penny to the U.S. government. I mention this, Capricorn, because it’s now a favorable time, astrologically speaking, for you to seek comparable perks. Look into this, please: Maybe you don’t have to keep having your assets drained in ways you’ve always assumed were inevitable. I’m talking metaphorically as well as literally; I’m referring to emotional and psychic energy as well as actual money. Are there any legal and ethical loopholes you can exploit to free yourself from long-running burdens?
AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Once upon a time, Brave Aquarius wandered out to the edge of the known universe in search of mindblowing sensations and foreign titillations and clues to the future. So imagine Brave Aquarius’s amazement when the rather attractive ogre who was guarding the rope bridge that crossed over the abyss said, “Stop! You’re headed the wrong way! The mind-blowing sensations and foreign titillations and clues to the future you crave are back in the direction you came from. In fact, they are all the way back where you started.” What to do? The ogre’s advice was counter-intuitive and downright confounding. But Brave Aquarius, being foremost an experimental adventurer, thought, “Hmmm. I guess maybe I’ll try what the ogre suggested. What could be more experimental and adventurous than changing my mind?”

Feb. 19-March 20 Blessings will come if you cultivate as much stillness as possible. I’m not just talking about reducing the noise levels, although that’s a good first step. Other things you might want to do: Cut way down on your use of the phone; text-message sparingly; surf the Internet 70 percent less than usual; avoid watching TV news altogether; and don’t hang around people whose minds zip around like chimps on meth. As for your own monkey mind: See if you can enjoy some periods each day when the monkey gets to lie down in a soft place and watch the wide sky roll by. cs
