14 Hear & Now 15 Blotter 16 News of the Weird 17 Straight Dope 18 Earthweek

If you’d told me a year ago that an African-American presidential candidate with a foreign-sounding name would be running only six points behind the Republican in freaking Georgia — I’d have called the funny farm and reserved you a bed.

If you’d told me a year ago that 81-year-old bluegrass uber-legend Ralph Stanley would cut a radio ad in Virginia endorsing said African-American presidential candidate with a foreignsounding name — I’d have tied you up and taken you to the funny farm myself. If you’d told me eight years ago that the election of George W. Bush would lead to two stalemated wars, a tripling of gas prices, a new low in America’s reputation around the world, and global economic catastrophe, I’d have... well, OK, I totally would have believed you. Anyway, as the Chinese say: We are blessed to be living in interesting times. As part of Connect Savannah’s election coverage, I’m calling for our readers to send us any endorsement of any candidate whatsoever – Obama, McCain, Barr, Nader, McMasters, Liakakis, Stone, Gillespie, Kingston, Lock, Chisolm, whoever. Tell us why you think that person should be president, or county commission chairman, or congressman, or DA, or whatever. It can be 500 words, or five words. It can be a photo, a poem, or a song. While I’m certainly hoping that these opinions will be positive endorsements for your candidate instead of negative slams of another candidate, I’m also hoping that a million bucks will fall out of the sky into my pocket. Not bloody likely in either case, I know. In any event, send your political opinion to jim@connectsavannah.com and we’ll run it in the issue before the Nov. 4 election.

As part of our local coverage, I’ll be serving as one of the moderators at a Georgia Conservancy/Savannah Bicycle Coalition candidate forum at 7:30 p.m. Tues., Oct. 14, at the Coastal Georgia Center, 305 Fahm St. I’ll be on the panel with Georgia Public Broadcasting’s Orlando Montoya of FM 91 fame, and Dionne Hoskins of Savannah State University. Of course, the meeting is free and open to the public and we hope to see you there. We’ll give you a full, blow-by-blow account in the Oct. 22 issue. Speaking of the election, remember you don’t have to wait until Nov. 4 to vote. You can vote now at the Voter Registration Main Office, 1117 Eisenhower Dr., Suite E, Mon.-Fri., 8 a.m.-5 p.m. In addition to those hours, extended earlyvoting hours at the same location will be:

• Sat., Oct. 18, 9 a.m.-2 p.m. • Tues., Oct. 21, 8 a.m.-7 p.m. • Thu., Oct 23, 8 a.m.-7 p.m. • Sat., Oct. 25, 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Over the summer, Mike Sullivan and the gang at the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography were kind enough to invite me along on an educators’ trip to St. Catherine’s Island, the interior of which is accessible only by invitation. This week I finally deliver a finished article about that trip, to mark the Skidaway Institute’s Marine Science Day this weekend. Linda Sickler writes about that event on page 13 right after my travelogue on page 10. Like Ossabaw Island, which I wrote about this summer, St. Catherine’s is yet another reminder of how lucky we have it on the Georgia coast. Unlike so many other states, such as South Carolina and Florida, we still have quite a few well-preserved barrier islands. Let’s hope and pray that Georgians have the collective will and courage to keep them so. I was fortunate enough to be asked again to be one of the picnic judges at this past Sunday’s Picnic in the Park, made possible by the City of Savannah. While the number of elaborate picnics was less than last year, the top finishers this year were very creative indeed. My daughter Sophia acted as our “official photographer” for the judging. Check out her picnic pics on page 31. cs

Editor, The budget crisis is difficult but Georgia does not need to cut the only attorneys that represent consumers in electric and natural gas cases at the Public Service Commission. Everyone is focusing on gasoline, but don’t forget natural gas prices. Consumers Utility Counsel are the only lawyers for consumers in electric and gas cases at the PSC. The CUC is being eliminated and I want Governor Perdue to do something to save our representation!

Georgia Power Corporation and Atlanta Gas and Light Corporation have lawyers fighting for them! I’m a member of AARP and I want our members, and others concerned about gas and electric prices, to call Governor Perdue at (404) 656-1776 and our legislators and ask them to save the CUC!

Educators at the site of the old Spanish church at Santa Catalina de Guale

Wild isle

Local educators experience the rare blend of nature and history that is St. Catherine’s Island by jim morekis | jim@connectsavannah.com

After 400 years on this lonely island, it’s still a church. The thatched roof is long gone, replaced by open sky. Carefully planted palm trees mark the perimeter, where wooden beams and walls once stood. An oak stump marks the old entrance. Underneath lie the reinterred remains of 437 Native Americans — the first Catholic converts in Georgia. This holy ground on St. Catherine’s Island is a combined sanctuary, cemetery, and important archaeological site. This is Santa Catalina de Guale, a former Spanish mission that was the first Christian gathering place in Georgia and one of the oldest in North America. There are no bells, no hymnals, no little envelopes for donations. But as the small pews in the open air within its imaginary walls indicate, it’s still a very real place of worship. St. Catherine’s Island, a short boat ride from Midway, Ga., is full of such amazing and surprisingly little-known treasures. This summer a group of coastal Georgia educators went there to take part in a totally unique program, the fruits of which they’re passing on to area children as we speak.

Open to math and science teachers from all grades — including elementary school teachers, who by definition teach all subjects — the program’s intent is to spark new ways to teach and motivate their students. The two-week, grad-level, total immersion course brings math and science teachers together with professors from Armstrong Atlantic State University and the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography in an effort that combines history, mathematics and the natural sciences. “We wanted to develop a course that would give interdisciplinary outreach for high school, middle school, and elementary teachers from the coast that would help them teach math, science, technology, and engineering better — no matter what age their students are,” says Charles Belin, biology professor at AASU. “And the barrier islands are our laboratory.” So what do the history and culture of St. Catherine’s Island have to do with math and science? Grant administrator Sabrina Hessinger, a math professor at AASU, explains that there was enough

“wiggle room” in the grants for the coastal group to think outside the box. “We knew we wanted to involve the barrier islands, so we thought, let’s just have the thread be history, and pull the math and science in underneath the history,” Hessinger says. “That was a creative aspect that we came up with. We wanted to try something different. This is definitely unique to Savannah.” Over the summer, Dr. Peter Verity and the folks at the Skidaway Institute invite me out to join the group of educators on St. Catherine’s — which feels much farther away from the mainland than it really is. The island once belonged to Mary Musgrove, Oglethorpe’s interpreter, and after that Button Gwinnett, signer of the Declaration. For a brief time it was the fiefdom of self-described “emperor” Tunis Campbell, a freed slave who claimed it as his own following the Civil War. After that bizarre interlude, it followed a typical path for Georgia barrier islands: A hunting and vacation playground for wealthy northern industrialists, whose elite exclusivity ironically allowed it be protected from

overdevelopment. Currently it’s owned by the St. Catherine’s Island Foundation, which runs a number of environmental and cultural projects in a relaxed and rustic outdoor-laboratory setting. Our tour guide for most of the day is Royce Hayes, a jolly, knowledgeable fellow — a forester by training — who’s lived on St. Catherine’s Island as its superintendent for the past 30 years: As we stand beside the hallowed mission site in the island’s interior, Hayes explains its origin: In 1566 a leader of the local Guale tribe (pronounced “wallie”) met Pedro Menendez, who was on his way from St. Augustine, Fla., to destroy a French settlement at modernday Parris Island, S.C. The history can get tricky, due in part to the custom of Creek Indians of the time to name just about everything after their chief. “The leader was called Guale, they also called this island Guale, and the region between the Ogeechee River and the Altamaha was called Guale,” laughs Hayes. “So when the Spanish write, ‘We stopped at Guale and talked to Guale,’ it can get pretty confusing.” After several abortive attempts, by

1590 Franciscan monks had firmly established the mission. “Somehow, two barefoot monks, with no weapons and no garrison to protect them, managed to create a Christian community here” Hayes says. “There must have been something in their message or something in their demeanor that created trust with the local people,” he says. “There’s evidence in the archaeology that there was a cooperative, benevolent relationship.” However, disputes between the Spanish and Indians occasionally got ugly, resulting in the death of those first two monks — among the first martyrs in the New World. “In 1597, the two monks were quartered with their own axes, and the mission was burned,” Hayes says. Still, their seeds of goodwill stayed alive. A few years later the Indians rebuilt the church and sent emissaries to St. Augustine. Their message to the Spanish: “Send more monks — we’ve been five years without Confession.” Thus began the golden age of Spanish missions in Georgia, much longer and wider in scope than the more wellknown mission period in California and the Southwest. The beginning of the end came in 1680, when seven soldiers and 14 Indians successfully held off a combined force of over 300 British and Indian slavers from Charleston — “pirates, really,” Hayes says. Despite their heroic victory, the monks ordered the mission’s abandonment. Under pressure from the British, the Spanish would eventually retreat entirely to Florida and points beyond. What became of the Guale Indians, who so devoutly worshipped a new God on this remote barrier island?

“In the early 1700s, the Spanish and their allies evacuated under threat from the north to Cuba,” says Hayes. “So if there are any Guale Indians left, they’re Cubans.” In the 1970s and ‘80s, Santa Catalina de Guale was the site of the one of the most groundbreaking — no pun intended — archaeological digs in history. It was the first to use ground-penetrating radar and the first to use advanced soil analysis. But before advanced technology came into play, a team of archaeologists, led by Dr. David Hurst Thomas of New York’s Museum of Natural History, spent three years gridding the island in the most primitive way imaginable. “You had 11 archaeologists and somebody working a compass. Everybody walked even with each other, and every other step each person stuck a metal probe into the ground,” Hayes says. “And they got really good at hearing a tree root – thunk – an oyster shell – dink – a piece of metal – ping – whatever. They got to where they knew if they were hitting a site or hearing something organic.” As test pits were dug, the archaeologists found treasures of Indiana Jones-level drama all around the church and surrounding village. In addition to pottery, bricks, and pieces of metal, they found 67,000 rosary beads — including two that sailed on Columbus’s third voyage to the New World. “How they got from Dominica in the Caribbean to coastal Georgia and onto a rosary, we don’t know,” says Hayes. Another interesting find was, of all things, a toothpick. “It wasn’t Christian, it was Moorish,” says Hayes. “It was a fist clutching a sword — the hand of Allah.”

Hayes speculates that because Spain had only recently thrown off the rule of the Moors, one of the Spanish sailors might have been a secret Muslim. Apparently, there were even Stations of the Cross in the church. Clay faces have been discovered, which were probably stuck on the mud-and-marsh walls, with figures then painted around them. “The archaeologists had been talking about Guale Indians for five years and suddenly they found one looking back,” Hayes says of the clay faces. (Many of the millions of artifacts discovered here are on display in Atlanta’s Fernbank Museum of Natural History.) When the mission’s cache of buried bodies was found — including what are the likely remains of those first two monks, horribly butchered — a moral dilemma ensued. Because this dig happened before a slate of repatriation laws in the ‘90s, the question begged itself: What to do with all the bones? “Dave Thomas contacted the bishop of the Savannah diocese, and said, ‘Look, archaeologists usually keep the bones of people who have no descendants,’” Hayes relates. “He told the bishop, ‘There are no Guale Indians left, so by tradition we can keep the bones.’” But, Thomas concluded, there are lots of Catholics in Georgia. So in a sense, many descendants of those Indians still live here — if not genetically, certainly culturally and spiritually. Unbeknownst to Thomas, the Vatican was at that very moment working to have the five Georgia martyrs, including St. Catherine’s founding monks, beatified. Thrilled with the coincidence — or was it the hand of God? — the bishop reportedly told Thomas: “Dig, young man, dig, and prove these men holy.”

In 1984, the mission was reconsecrated, and the decision was made to reinter all the bodies underneath. Palm trees were planted in the old postholes, and pews were added so weddings and ceremonies could again be held within its phantom walls. And what of the rest of the village? Like the bodies, it was reburied — under a foot of sod so that grave robbers couldn’t tell where to dig. “Dave dug only enough to answer his research questions. We’re not only trying to conserve native habitats and wildlife here, we’re also trying to conserve archaeology,” concludes Hayes. “It’s all underground waiting for somebody else who has another question and a new technology.” St. Catherine’s is famous for another unique aspect that’s wholly in the now: a colony of ring-tailed lemurs occupying the middle of the island. Brought from Madagascar to preserve the species from extinction, the lemurs run completely free, though the mature ones sport small ID collars. As we drive up to visit the lemurs, we notice the staff has containers of fruit. That’s all it takes. Literally coming out of the woodwork, little lemur forms take shape as they crawl down from the trees, long bushy tails waving in the air. Mothers carry a baby or two on their backs. The males occasionally snap at each other. Some lemurs nonchalantly climb up on the hood of a jeep. But Lemur Nation is united in its shared passion for fruit. As the containers are put on the ground, they begin eating as fast as their little hands can carry food to their little mouths. Grapes, melon, bananas, it’s all good. continues on p. 12

They’re totally unintimidated by us, so we walk right up to them as they eat. They just give us sideways glances with those bright yellow eyes, their mouths filled to bursting. In order to get the fruit down their throats they have to lift their heads and straighten their necks, making them resemble baby birds. They look up at the sky, chewing open-mouthed as fruit occasionally dribbles out onto the ground — or onto a nearby lemur who, also eating, doesn’t appear to notice. When the food’s gone, they disperse in a gluttony-induced daze and do whatever it is that lemurs do when they’re not stuffing themselves silly. Somewhere along our journey we make a stop at a massive bird rookery in a freshwater pond in the middle of the island. Several large trees stand amid the algae-encrusted water. Hundreds of waterfowl of probably a dozen species are nesting, eating, calling, courting, and generally carrying on. It’s a ruckus, is what it is. Here and there, cutting through the green crust on the water, are the telltale eye and nose bumps of alligators. Charles Belin explains how to tell the size of an alligator when all you can see are those scaly little bumps in the water. “The length in inches from his nose bump to his eye bump is roughly equivalent to his body length in feet.” In that case, there are a couple of pretty big gators trolling here. Why then do the birds seem so complacent? Belin says it’s all part of nature’s plan: “The alligators, the water level, the trees, the birds, the meteorology, are all in balance here. If the water levels are up and the alligators are patrolling, they’ll pick off any little bird or egg that falls off a branch into the water, no doubt about it,” Belin says. “But the primary predator of the birds is not the alligator — it’s raccoons. The raccoons will not go in here because they gotta go past the alligators,” he says. “But if the water level drops, all bets are off. If the trees fall down in a storm, all bets are off.” Several years ago, during a particularly bad drought, the inland ponds on St. Catherine’s dried up. “With no water, the alligators can’t move as fast as the raccoons. No birds fledged that year,” Belin says. “Then the rains come back, the water level goes up, the alligators are back, boom, the bird population goes up.” And how. The gators seem patient. They know it’s only a matter of time

before they get lucky, and one of these hundreds of birds runs out of luck. All nature’s plan. The end of our sojourn is a trip to “Boneyard Beach,” with its driftwood and famous 30-foot bluff, an almost unheard-of feature in the flat-as-a-pancake coastal region. Before we actually hit the beach, Belin talks awhile about the maritime forest habitat on the bluff. About 50 feet away stands one of the so-called “tsunami towers,” actually a high-frequency radar system that measures surface currents on the Atlantic, beaming the results back to the Skidaway Institute. The trees, mostly large oaks with a short understory, are all bent back due to the constant winds off the ocean. “The maritime forest is within about 20 miles of the Atlantic, from about Myrtle Beach down to St. Augustine,” Belin says. “That’s the only place it’s found.” He points out the noticeable lack here of nesting shorebirds like herons or egrets, who prefer freshwater ponds. They’re obviously all back at the rookery dodging alligators. Out on the beach, there’s a minor commotion as someone discovers a loggerhead turtle nest. The mother has just been here, and we can see the fresh, unmistakable tracks: short, slanted lines where her fins transported her, and scallop-shaped marks inside them where her shell dragged in the sand. Belin was right: This is a living laboratory. Color me impressed, but it doesn’t matter what I think. What’s important is what these school teachers think of their day on St. Catherine’s Island. On the way back to the dock for our ride back to the mainland, I ask a couple what they got out of this program. “I definitely understand the coastal region, and I’ll have a lot of perspective and sights and sounds that I can relate to my students,” says Cynthia Elliott of the Bryan County school system. Tracy Fettinger of the Camden County schools says: “I feel like I’ve had a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I’ve seen lemurs on TV, but I never thought I’d get to see them in person and feed them,” she says as we walk. “The diversity of this ecosystem, and seeing all these things and how they’re interconnected, makes it a whole lot easier to teach than just seeing a picture or reading paragraphs in a book.” cs

Skidaway Marine Science Day pairs science with fun

Do fish see in color? It depends on what kind of fish they are. The swim bladder of one species of fish has the fastest muscle contraction of any animal in the animal kingdom. What kind of fish is it? Explore these and other mysteries of the deep when the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography holds its annual Skidaway Marine Science Day on Saturday, Oct. 11, noon-4 p.m. The campus is at the north end of Skidaway Island. Marine Education Specialist Maryellen Timmons will present a program about fish at the UGA Marine Extension Service Aquarium. “It’s really not about how to fish or what bait to use,” she says. “It’s interesting facts about fish you don’t find in textbooks or when you’re looking through fish books. It’s the sorts of things I’ve learned over the years.” During her talk, Timmons will show unusual photos. “They’re sort of the weird things you wouldn’t usually see,” she says. She’ll also do a bit of myth-busting to sort out fact from fiction about fish. Timmons also will take visitors to a part of the aquarium that isn’t usually open to the public. “We’ll go to the other end of the building that no one ever gets to see unless they’re in a school group,” she says. “We have four different labs. We’re going to have a touch tank room, reptiles, and they can touch invertebrates. “In one of the labs, we’ll look at microscopic plants that live in river water and the ocean,” Timmons says. “In the invertebrate lab, they will look at organisms that if you’re out kayaking, you might find on the other side of dock and that might be attached to the bottom of the boat,” she says. Timmons also will show visitors a Web site where they can learn more about the animals they will see. Visit www.marex.uga.edu and click on the Coastal Georgia identification link. Visitors can do a variety of activities. “There will be a maritime forest walk, and there are certain times on the schedule that there are going to be behind-the-scenes feeding of animals in

the aquarium,” Timmons says. “We have a handicapped-access nature trail that goes out to the dock,” she says. “I’ve found since I’ve been living here that very few people actually have been out to the water. “We get a lot of visitors who are interested in the historic venues of Savannah,” Timmons says. “They look at the marshes as either pretty scenery or stinky. They have no idea what coastal marsh lands can do.” Events such as Marine Science Day foster stewardship of the coastal areas, Timmons says. “We give them information about the environment the marshes are in so they’ll be more proactive when it comes to protecting them,” she says. Coastal Georgia has an amazing environment, Timmons says. “I’ve lived all over U.S. in coastal counties, and Georgia has the most pristine, undisturbed marsh lands and barrier island system that I have seen,” she says. “Early in the 1960s and 70s, people recognized the value of the marsh,” Timmons says. “There were people who really wanted to save it.” Timmons is especially happy to show off the newly renovated aquarium, which is only a year old. “It’s a lot darker inside now,” she says. “There’s an interactive kiosk with displays that light up. We have artifacts from an archaeological sites.” All the campus buildings will be open for the tour. “There will be lots of things outside as you go from building to building,” Timmons says. “People can spend four hours here and still find things to do.” SKIO External Affairs Manager Michael Sullivan says the activities are geared for all ages, from young children to adults. “All the various organizations open their doors and set up a series of programs and displays and activities,” he says. “It’s all free. We’ll have program running throughout the afternoon on such things as horseshoe crabs, fish feedings and behind-the-scenes tours.” The activities will cover one end of the campus to the other, Sullivan says. Everybody’s favorite seems to be the

Plankton Sink-Off, he says. “We have a mock dock study that one of our scientists is conducting between the aquarium and the area of the quadrangle. The study is measuring the effects docks have on the salt marshes they cross over. There’s been a lot of discussion, but no one’s determined if shadow cast has any effect,” Sullivan says. “There are four fairly large docks sitting out in the yard on the lawn. I think when people walk by, they’re going to say ‘What’s that?’” That’s one reason the Marine Science

Day is held, so people will ask questions. “Everything out here is a part of a government agency. It’s important that the people who are the taxpayers see what is going on out here. It’s also part of all our missions, each of the agencies, to disseminate information about science,” Sullivan says. “This is an opportunity to open the doors, let people come and see what we’re doing. We roll out the red carpet, tell the public to come on down and see what we’ve got here. It’s kind of a win-win.” cs

Skidaway Marine Science Day Continuous activities from noon to 4 p.m. will include a campus-wide scavenger hunt, touch tanks at the aquarium, tours of the aquarium, Plankton World in the Roebling House, tours of the Research Vessel Savannah at the Skidaway Institute Dock and science and agency displays. Programs include Invertebrates Up Close at the aquarium’s Invertebrate Lab, What is in a drop of water? in the aquarium Plankton Lab, Crabs Up Close and Personal and Sea Dawg Tours at the aquarium dock and a tour of the Shellfish Lab/ – Oyster reef restoration, shell bagging, various displays, demonstrations and activities The WSVH Georgia Public Radio Station will be open for tours, and DNR’s Coastal Resources Division will have a display at the Skidaway Institute Quadrangle. The Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary and Shrimping on the Georgia Coast also will have displays on the SkIO Quad. From noon to 4 p.m., Music on the Quad will feature live performances.

Scheduled events include:

12:30-1:00 p.m. -- Horseshoe Crabs the Living Fossil in the MAREX Aquarium Lecture hall. 12:30-1:30 p.m. -- Nature Hike Adventure with John “Crawfish” Crawford.

Dining out A few years ago at my friend Mary’s house, I asked her where she’d purchased a relatively unusual (and now forgotten) food item. Gourmet shop? Asian grocer? Farmer’s market? “Uh…the grocery store,” she deadpanned. “You can buy food there, and take it home to cook, and then you eat it. For nourishment.” Really? And I thought they only sold coffee, ice cream, dog food and laundry detergent. Although Mary later admitted she’d borrowed her dig at me from a commentator on National Public Radio, the implication was clear. At mealtime I’m more likely to be found at a table in a cafe or sandwich shop than at my own dining room table. A close second is at supper with kind hearted neighbors like Mary and her husband Stew, when I’m invited to pull up a chair and join their two young sons in a twilight feast of stove top macaroni and cheese, a side of apple slices and a plastic tumbler of milk. Many of the meals I eat at home come through my front door in Styrofoam containers, fully cooked, thanks to take out from several midtown establishments. Hirano, owner and stir fry chef at the Habersham Street restaurant that bears his name, knows I’m on my way as soon as he sees a to go order ticket for teriyaki-steak-mediumrare-no-sauce-steamed-rice-sesame-onthe-side. Savannah’s storybook fall weather is luring me further and further away from my kitchen. Over the weekend, four consecutive meals were not only outside my house, they were in the fresh air--the ultimate dining out experience. Saturday morning began with breakfast in the garden at Jane Fishman’s annual Fall Plant Swap, pairing the fresh strawberries I’d brought from the Publix with Virginia Aliffi Castilian’s strawberry cookies. For lunch, avocado sandwiches and cranberry spritzer from Brighter Day, shared with an out

of town visitor in the shade at Bonaventure Cemetery, overlooking the Wilmington River. Saturday night, after watching the sun set behind the Tybee Lighthouse, a gang of six sat in the fading light on North Beach, trading our best stories, crackers and hummus, until the darkness drove us in search of dinner, found on the breezy balcony of Fannie’s on the Beach. Sunday brunch at a neighbor’s provided my fourth consecutive outdoor meal, sharing a table on the party hostess’s wide front porch with five of her 29 guests, enjoying an airy haven from the elbow-to-elbow coziness inside. Worn out from all the socializing, I passed on Savannah’s largest and most celebrated outdoor feast, Sunday night’s Picnic in the Park, opting for simple athome fare in front of the TV, resting up for another week of outdoor dining out. I’m hoping to hit the weekly Trustees Garden market for the first time this Wednesday, which I hear is a partiallyopen indoor market with plenty of prepared delights to offer to non-cooks like me. This weekend offers the Starland Farmer’s Market and the New Moon Market Bazaar, two open air markets on Saturday with ready-to-go food options for sale among the produce or crafts booths. That evening I’ll be heading back to Tybee to a friend’s oyster roast—my favorite kind of outdoor eating, coastal Georgia style.

Stolen, schmolen, just gimme the tag An off-duty officer was working at the Chatham County Tag Office when he was told by the staff that a woman was trying to register a stolen car. The woman told him she was registering the car for a friend in New York. She showed the officer a power of attorney document that gave her permission to register the car for the owner. She said her friend had contacted her the week before and asked her to register the car because she was out of state. When she went to the tag office counter, the woman was told that the car she was trying to register was stolen. She explained the situation, saying that she has never seen the car and hasn’t seen her friend in about a year. A detective was contacted and came to the scene to interview the woman. The woman wrote a statement about the situa-

tion, and it, the registration and power of attorney were logged in as evidence. The officer also spoke with a tag office employee, who said she had spoken by phone to the woman’s friend in New York several times about the car. She said she told the owner that the car couldn’t be registered in Georgia. According to the detective, evidence showed that the owner had originally registered the car with a fake title. • An officer was called to Garrard Avenue because of a fight. A woman told him she was walking to the bus stop when two other women jumped her. She said they fought for a few moments, then the two suspects fled because they thought police were coming. She said the suspects are sisters, and this isn’t the first altercation she’s had with them. • An inmate at the Chatham County Detention Center told police someone has used her bank account and debit card without permission. She said she has been in jail since June, and that she signed out her belongings to a friend of the family. She said the friend

was supposed to deliver her purse to her mother. Someone used the account for a four-day period. The inmate said she isn’t sure if it was her friend or someone else who used her account, but said they could have obtained her account information before turning her purse over to her mother. The inmate said she learned of the theft when she had her mother call the bank and check her account balance. A bank employee said the account had been closed because it was $1,000 overdrawn. Both deposits and withdrawals were made on the account during the time period in question. The inmate said she hadn’t given permission for any type of activity on her account while she was incarcerated.

• A Wilshire Boulevard couple are divorced, but still have problems regarding custody of their child. The husband told police he was driving past their home while on the way to work when he noticed his exwife’s care wasn’t in the driveway. He said she apparently no longer lives at that address and called police to ask them to confirm it. An officer told the man it is impossible to confirm that fact. The man got angry and demanded to speak to a supervisor. Another officer responded and the man explained that his ex-wife is required by the court to provide notification of a change of address. Both officers knocked on the door and a woman answered. When asked if the man’s ex-wife was at home, she said the woman had gone to her mother’s house for the night. She said the woman was still living at the address. cs Give anonymous crime tips to Crimestoppers at 234-2020

news of the weird Lead Story

The world’s most extensive array of animal “rights” took effect in Switzerland in September. Dog owners must take, at their own expense, classes in pet care (and anglers must take a class in humane treatment of fish). Animals listed as “social” (including goldfish, hamsters, sheep, goats, yaks) must be kept with or near another of their species. Goldfish must have some “privacy,” e.g., no completely transparent tanks, and can only be killed humanely (never flushed alive). Even mud-loving pigs are entitled to showers. Yet, Swiss animal rights activists complained that the country still permits trading in cat fur (supposedly a pain-reliever for rheumatism), and that some new protections (for example, for rhinoceroses) are still inadequate.

The Naples Daily News reported in September that each adult relative would receive up to $2,500 per party attended, and a final Party Trust accounting is now in the hands of a judge. • David Norris never knew his father, who left home when Norris was 5 months old. Now 22, Norris is serving a minimum-12-year sentence for killing a man after an earlier rape conviction and is housed in Peterhead prison, which is the primary lockup for Scotland’s sex criminals. Soon after arrival, according to a Scottish Daily Record report, Norris ran into David Gilles, 39, serving life for the kidnapping and sexual torture of a young woman, and realized that Gilles is his dad. • Michelle Cossey pleaded guilty to one count of child endangerment in September in Norristown, Pa., admitting that she had bought her son Dillon, 14, a rifle and gunpowder (which prosecutors say Dillon was planning to use in a Columbine-style attack on former classmates at Plymouth Whitemarsh High School). Michelle said she had no idea of his plans, but only wanted to help boost Dillon’s “self-esteem,” since he is severely overweight and had left school after the seventh-grade because of bullying.

• In August two British couples were given sanctions by local councils because their loud, long sex sessions disturbed neighbors. Steve and Caroline Cartwright were issued a noise abatement order by the Sunderland City Council (Caroline: “I do admit I scream and make lots of noise”), and Kerry Norris was fined by the Brighton and Hove City Council for violating a previous sex-noise order with her boyfriend Adam Hinton (a neighbor said their headboard bangs against the wall until 6 a.m.).

Least Competent Criminals

• Not Ready for Thugdom: (1) Police in Wilmington, N.C., arrested Anthony Mallette, 30, and Capria Rouser, 28, in September, driving a stolen car, after they had allegedly tried to extort money from the owner for its return. They wanted $40. (2) Two men attempted an armed robbery of the Brighton Mini Mart in Chicago in August, and when it was over, the man with the gun had accidentally shot himself in the foot and been stabbed in the back by the 61-year-old store owner. The pair fled, but the wounded man was arrested in a hospital waiting room. • Rookie Mistakes: (1) Kody Merrival, 21, was arrested in Iowa City, Iowa, in September after he used an alleged stolen credit card in three establishments. At a coffee bar, he asked for points on his account while using the card; at another store, he signed his name; and in the third, he offered his own ID to accompany the card (leading the merchant to confiscate the card and call police). (2) Tommy Patterson, 41, vacationing in Ormond Beach, Fla., in July, decided to do some impromptu shoplifting at a Wal-Mart but was caught after a chase that was brief because he was still wearing flip-flops from the beach. cs

So, first things first. Could historical swords cut clear through somebody? Weâ€™re fairly sure at least some samurai swordsâ€”katana, theyâ€™re calledâ€”were tested on the bodies of convicted criminals as part of the practice of tameshigiri, or test cutting. One Japanese sword made in 1662 is inscribed â€œTwo persons completely cut into two pieces (one stroke),â€? a scholarly article informs us, and reportedly blades bearing fivebody ratings can be found in Japanese museums. Iâ€™m skepticalâ€”honestly now, five?â€”but in any case remember weâ€™re talking about stationary, unarmored targets. Remains found at old Japanese battle sites donâ€™t suggest that combatants were routinely cut in two. Furthermore, while we lack adequate comparative data on how many human bodies a good modern sword can slice through, a perusal of the photos in trauma journals indicates a common knife can make surprisingly deep cuts. So donâ€™t get an exaggerated idea of the intrinsic lethality of Japanese swords. For more we turn to the Association for Renaissance Martial Arts. These guys have a section on their Web site (thearma.org) where you can watch footage of folks cutting through bamboo poles, pieces of armor, and hunks of dead animal. We contacted ARMA director John Clements, who told us the group has experimented with accurate replicas of medieval and Renaissance European war swords on freshly culled

Samurai swords are reputed to be among the best ever produced, a fact attested to by the practice of testing the swords on cadavers, usually those of condemned criminals. Just how sharp were these blades? Iâ€™ve read accounts declaring certain swords could cut through the hip bones of three grown men set side by side. Where human-cleaving blades are concerned, did any other culture come close technologically (Toledo and Damascus come to mind), or were the Japanese truly at the head of the field? â€”Mr. Slick

deer carcasses and pig carcasses and seen first hand that these weapons easily shear and cleave through flesh and bone with basic cutting blows. He said historical swords used in combat werenâ€™t necessarily as sharp as many assume: There are videos on our website of fairly blunt blades achieving the same effects as notoriously sharp samurai katana. So, edge sharpness alone is not nearly as important as a hard and well-honed edge hitting forcefully with correct geometry and energy. Did smiths in other locales produce swords as technologically advanced as the celebrated Japanese blades? Comparisons are tough. For one thing, different swords were made for different purposes. The light, wieldy katana was effective against the lacquered leather armor commonly worn in Japan, but would have been less so against European plate-steel armor. In addition, weâ€™re still not certain how some historical swords were made. The technology behind the katana, no question, involved some cunning metalwork. By contrast the secrets of the Damascus-steel swords favored by Islamic armies were largely lost and remain conjectural. One study claims Damascus steel contained carbon nanotubesâ€”superstrong cylindrical moleculesâ€”that helped give the swords their remarkable flexibility. Another researcher believes naturally occurring trace elements such as vanadium may have been essential constituents of the famed wootz steel used by Damascus smiths, and that the exhaustion of the ore source led to the demise of their art. Letâ€™s not get goofy about this. Today we have an incredible variety of materials and techniques that can produce blades surely rivaling or surpassing the best of olden times. Still, you hear stories of metallurgical know-how lost, some of them quite recent, that give you pause. Twentieth-century Nebraska cutler Frank Richtig, for instance, was famous in certain circles for producing blades that could be driven through steel stock and still retain their sharpness. After painstaking analysis a couple of Lawrence Livermore scientists think theyâ€™ve figured out how he did it (Wadsworth and Lesuer, Materials Characterization, 2000)â€”no thanks to Richtig, who took his method with him to the grave in the 1970s. A man is entitled to some secrets, he said, and thatâ€™s mine. cs

Pesticide Ban?

Britain’s meteorological agency warned that the world must take drastic action to reduce greenhouse gas pollution within the next two years or face the worst effects of climate change. The Meteorological Office’s usually conservative Hadley Center said that only by cutting emissions by 3 percent a year beginning in 2010 can the world prevent global temperatures from rising by more than 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius) this century.

Britain’s Soil Association has urged the government to join four other European countries in banning a pesticide linked to honeybee deaths around the world. The Guardian reports that neonicotinoids are approved to kill insects on a range of crops in the U.K. Germany suspended the sale of the pesticides in May following reports from 700 beekeepers in the Rhine Valley that two-thirds of their bees had died following their use. Britain’s National Farmers’ Union blasted the proposed ban. The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs attributes the honeybee decline to a variety of factors, and says there are no plans to ban the pesticides. Bee colonies have declined between 30 and 90 percent around the world over the last two years, threatening two-thirds of all major crops that depend upon bees for pollination.

Tropical Cyclones Officials in Vietnam say that eight people died and several others were missing when Tropical Storm Mekkhala roared ashore in Quang Binh province. High winds knocked out power and blew the tin roofs off houses. • Typhoon Jangmi, the most powerful to strike Taiwan so far this year, left two people dead and forced the closure of businesses and financial markets. • Tropical Storm Higos drenched the central Philippines. • Hurricane Kyle buffeted New England and Atlantic Canada. Subtropical Storm Laura formed over the North Atlantic. • Tropical Storm Marie churned the open waters of the eastern Pacific.

Rhino Killings The number of rhino deaths from poaching in South Africa has soared in recent months, with 12 white rhinos being killed in the eastern province of KwaZulu-Natal alone so far this year. The Witness daily reports that rangers have found

Eat Roo to Cool Earth The Australian government’s leading climate change adviser says the country should switch

to eating kangaroo instead of beef to reduce greenhouse emissions. Professor Ross Garnaut noted in an official report that while the belching and flatulence of grazing farm animals is a major source of methane, kangaroos emit almost none of that greenhouse gas. “For most of Australia’s human history of around 60,000 years, kangaroo was the main source of meat. It could again become important,” Garnaut said. He noted that some barriers to this culinary shift include livestock and farmmanagement issues, consumer resistance and the gradual nature of change in food tastes. cs by steve newman, universal press syndicate

Oh No, Roc ‘C’, Dope Sandwich

This week’s Underground Hip-Hop Night finds local funk and rap collective Dope Sandwich’s DJ Frost and DJ Valis (along with MCs Knife, Righteous and Basik Lee) welcoming two rising stars on the highly influential Stones Throw record label. Ca.-bred Oh No comes from a musical family (his dad’s soul crooner Otis Jackson, his brother’s hip-hop guru Madlib and his uncle’s jazz horn man Jon Faddis). His recent way-cool project (he created an entire album out of nothing but approved samples from rare HAIR composer Galt MacDermot LPs) speaks to his inventiveness and envelopepushing spirit. He’s joined on this tour by Roc ‘C’, another of Oxnard’s new breed of alternative rappers. Listen & Learn: stonesthrow.com/ohno, stonesthrow. com/roc. Tues., 10 pm, The Jinx.

The Jinx’s 5th Anniversary

Hard to believe it’s been half a decade since this live music venue opened in the same location (and with the same general vibe) of the defunct Velvet Elvis Lounge. Initially viewed as more of a continuation of that long-running club, over time, the Jinx has carved out its own identity — while not straying too awfully far from the formula that came to define the Velvet. Emphasis is placed on local, regional and (occasionally) national acts primarily in the genres of punk, metal, hardcore variants, alt. country, rockabilly and indierock. Tuesday nights find the room used as a showcase for underground hip-hop, and the club also boasts regular, weekly events such as “Rock & Roll Bingo” and the eclectic garage/soul/psych/ dub/pop playlists of DJ KZL.

An avowed Scientologist, the musically pioneering and philosophically headstrong Edgar and his current backing group will open for his older brother Johnny — a Grammy-winning blues guitar icon who, after years of floundering through poor health and drug addiction is now clean and riding a comeback wave that found him drawing thousands to last year’s Roundhouse Blues & BBQ Fest. $25 adv.

‘We have evolved into the big-time’

Hank Weisman dishes on the 19th Annual Savannah Folk Music Festival

Savannah Folk Music Society President Hank Weisman fell in love with the wide world of acoustic folk at an extremely early age. “It was some of the first music I heard and enjoyed as a small child,” he recalls. “I learned to play guitar to folk music at the age of six.” For him, it was the music’s lyrical leanings, poignant philosophical messages and “evocative nature” that held him in sway then and to this day. “I can hear songs I’ve heard for decades,” says Weisman, “and they still bring tears to my eyes if they’re written well enough or are about a subject that’s still close to home for me.” It’s entirely possible that some other young person may hear the call at this weekend’s 19th Annual Savannah Folk Music Festival. Organized and run by the SFMS and supported by grants from the City of Savannah’s Department of Cultural Affairs, Bureau of Leisure Services (along with private donations and corporate sponsorships) it’s a three-day celebration of songwriting, singing, tradition and Old-Time, family-oriented entertainment. Whether it be through joining in on shape-note gospel at the Sacred Harp Sing, learn the steps to an oldfashioned contra dance, or simply enjoying a rare performance by an internationally known songwriter like the great Jesse Winchester (the author of such hits as “Third Rate Romance” and “Candida”, who’s a personal hero of folks like Elvis Costello and The Band’s Robbie Robertson), or a celebrated black string band like The Carolina Chocolate Drops, this year’s festival is chock full of wonderful opportunities for young and old alike. I spoke at length with Hank about the current state of the Folk Fest, and excerpts from our interview can be found below. Look to our Soundboard Calendar for a complete listing of all the festival’s performers and venues, and go to connectsavannah.com for more of our chat (plus live video clips of many of the acts).

How difficult is it to craft a festival that touches on a wide variety of acoustic folk? Hank Weisman: If we were trying to represent folk music from around the world, it would be almost impossible to do so. Everyone has their own idea of what folk music is or should be and everyone has their own favorite area of it. I’ve found it’s rare for any given person to be very excited about our entire lineup in any given year — unless they themselves have that broad acceptance of all that folk music can be. Frankly, I’ve had people come up and tell us that we’ve missed the ball completely! (laughs) There are reasons for that. For example, there’s a lot of bluegrass in this part of the country, and although we’ve had some of that, we know it’s generally available to be heard at lots of festivals and venues in the area. So, it seems redundant for us to feature it. The same with blues. We have some from time to time, but mostly Piedmont or Delta blues. We don’t offer the electric Chicago style because other places around town present that. Which is fine. However, if you want to keep new generations of folk fans interested, you have to keep those doors open as much as possible, This festival’s schedule is unique, in that the main artists at Sunday’s big concert split their shows in half. Each act plays an early and a late set of different tunes. Hank Weisman: That was a tradition in place before I got involved with the festival, and over the years we have gotten bigger names and more expensive acts — some of which simply won’t agree to split up their show that way. They’ll only appear for one long set. But our board likes the idea of having two complete shows. We want the highest level of exposure and convenience for families and individuals to see the whole program. This way, if they can only come early or late, they can still catch every

Left, Jesse Winchester; right, Carolina Chocolate Drops

single one of the artists on our main bill. Plus, we want to avoid the phenomenon of people who skip the opening acts and only show up for the headliner. As you look back at all the different festivals the SFMS has put on during your time at the helm, what are some of the biggest differences between now and when you started? Hank Weisman: We have evolved into a “big time” folk festival. Sure, as long as we keep the event free for the public and limit our sponsorship to a few dedicated organizations and companies not looking for a big commercial payback, we’ll never be like the Philadelphia or Kerrville Fests, but we have bigger names among our entertainers and offer more numerous and varied events than we used to. What criteria are used to select the artists? Hank Weisman: We use a variety of factors in deciding who to book. We want a balance of young and old, male and female, and a mix of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. We want both traditional and more contemporary folk music, and the representation of various folk music genres and styles. We pay attention to performers who don’t usually get to Savannah — or if they do, whose concerts are often priced outside of the reaches of many local listeners. Besides the performances, there’s also an auction and songwriting competition. Give our readers an idea of the importance of both those events. Hank Weisman: The Youth Songwriting Competition and Noteworthy

Art Auction are both unique to our festival. In its third year, we are thrilled to recognize and reward youngsters who are carrying on the traditional of story songwriting. The Art Auction is in its sixth year and again features Gretsch-donated guitars beautifully transformed into unique pieces of art by talented generous local artists. The auction raises about $5,000 each year for the festival. To date, a guitar signed by Willie Nelson brought our highest bid at $1,200. If money was no object, give me your dream lineup for the Savannah Folk Music Fest (all artists have to still be alive and touring). Hank Weisman: Well, I think I’d try to book Richie Havens. For my own personal pleasure or edification, I’d love to bring the Chad Mitchell Trio in. They’re alive and still work occasionally. I’d love to have the three living members of The Weavers, but Pete Seeger simply doesn’t do festivals anymore, so that won’t work. As time marches on, we’re just getting past the point of having those kinds of people from that generation. There are still great artists out there who are not quite as old, like Gordon Lightfoot, Joan Baez and Arlo Guthrie, but they’re all just too far out of our price range !

A look at the top entries from this year’s Picnic in the Park competition

photos by sophia Morekis

POLITICAL HARDBALL: The ‘Multi-Party Party’ was dubbed the first place picnic this year not only because of its enormous creativity — including a ‘hanging chad,’ ‘Condoleeza Red Rice,’ and a historic recipe for Senate Bean Soup — but because they executed that vision so well.

COUPLES ONLY: ‘Date Night’ was the runner-up, as married couples sat at ‘Reserved’ tables for two. The special menu included Sexy Black Herb Rice, Sensual Crimson Slaw, and Love Bird Chicken.

BEST (ROYAL) FAMILY PICNIC: The ‘British Invasion’ picnic, honoring the Savannah Orchestra’s Britishinspired theme of ‘Evening at the Proms,’ won the award for Best Family Picnic. Queen Elizabeth, left, was partially amused.

FAGEDDABOUDIT, Y’ALL: The ‘SavannahNew Jersey ItalianAmerican Association’ donned their white-boy bling, wife-beaters, and polyester track suits to portray ‘The Savannos’ in the thirdplace picnic.

WEDDING CRASHERS: This couple actually exchanged vows at their picnic, in an honest-to-goodness nuptials ceremony right there in the park. cs

Miracle at St. Anna

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, 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 cluster 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. The flashback portion of the movie finds four African-American 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).

After the back-to-back helming of two excellent motion pictures -- City of God and The Constant Gardener -- Fernando Meirelles now goes for the gold (Oscar?) with his adaptation of Jose Saramago’s Nobel Prize-winning novel Blindness. In a modern society in which people have become more disconnected from each other than ever before, it generally takes a crisis of epic proportions to either unite or divide the populace. In this film’s unnamed city (the country and characters similarly go unnamed), the disaster is a lack of vision that affects a significant number of citizens. Since it’s not what we assume to be normal blindness -- the victims state that all they see is white, not black -- the afflicted are quarantined, and if the government knows what’s behind the illness, they’re not revealing anything. One of those infected is a doctor (Mark Ruffalo), who’s then ordered to a containment facility that will soon be harboring others who have been struck blind. The doctor’s wife (Julianne Moore) still retains her eyesight, but not wanting to be apart from her husband, she feigns blindness in order to travel with him. In a variation on the theme that “in the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king,” the wife turns out to be a powerful figure in the ward, as her vision allows her to better help those around her. This especially comes in handy when a blind man (Gael Garcia Bernal) from another ward declares himself “king” and will only allow access to the site’s rationed food supply in exchange for jewelry and, in an especially disturbing sequence, sexual favors from the women. Given the material’s expansive canvas, the film ultimately feels too claustrophobic in its scope, and while I imagine the source material (which I haven’t read) manages to draw up some interesting parallels between the disease and our society’s inability to “see” what’s around us, the film merely operates on one plateau, drawing more commonplace comparisons to other literary sources like Lord of the Flies and Animal Farm. Despite strong performances and a few compelling scenarios, it’s plain to see that Blindness doesn’t quite measure up to expectations.

sertion 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 coastal-Carolina-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 costars 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.

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 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 instruc-

tions ... 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.

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 eventually 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

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 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

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.

ARIES

(March 21-April 19) Writing in *The New York Times,* Paul Krugman waxed snide as he described the mindset of the U.S. Congress. It “has always had a soft spot for ‘experts’ who tell members what they want to hear,” he wrote. It’s very important, Aries, that in the coming week you avoid that kind of behavior. In fact, I recommend that you seek out people who have a track record for intelligent objectivity, and ask them to tell you what you might *not* want to hear. At the very least, solicit insights from thoughtful types who aren’t inhibited about giving you their perspectives on what you’re doing. It’s Feedback Season.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20) “Dear Rob Brezsny: I am Chandra Gupti, born May 16, 1979 in New Delhi. Right now I am not well settled due to searing problems and swampy hurt. Day by day my position goes down lower and darker, with no lantern or rope ladder. So please tell me how long this foolish suffering period will further corrode my hope. Give me at least a thousand answers that will heal every test and trial as soon as possible. I will lie in bed until you reply. Thank you. - Unraveled Taurus.” Dear Unraveled Taurus: I love you with all my heart and soul and mind. I have adored you since the beginning of time and will worship your gorgeous genius until eternity changes into infinity. Dear All the Other Tauruses in the World: Everything I just told Unraveled Taurus I now say to you as well. (P.S. A divine tinkerer will offer you a lantern and rope ladder within ten days. Hold on.)

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20) Maybe you have never been able to fly before today, and maybe you won’t be able to fly when November arrives, but I bet you can fly now. Due to the benevolent cosmic agitation that has been lightening your mood, you can probably, if you choose, soar over logjams, dance above dark clouds, and do loop de loops in your dreams. Am I merely speaking metaphorically? Yes and no. Is a spiritual orgasm

“metaphorical”?

CANCER

(June 21-July 22) One of the most famous pop culture icons in Indonesia died last July. Mak Erot, who was over a hundred years old, was renowned for her skill in helping men develop bigger penises. The official story was that she used nothing more than prayers and herbs, but there are hints that she also had supernatural powers. She’s your patron saint this week, Cancerian, even if you’re a woman. I am calling on her inspiration, and I hope you will too, to help you lengthen and strengthen your inner, metaphorical phallus, by which I mean your will to accomplish your dreams.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22) Popular conceptions of Jesus depict him as bearded and longhaired. Not so, declares fundamentalist Pastor Jack Hyles on his website. He says Christ was clean-shaven and had a pixie- cut hairstyle parted in the middle and curled up at the ends. After studying Hyles’ arguments, however, I believe his evidence is flimsy -- just as I find no merit in his implication that Jesus was a stuffy, prudish right-winger who loved rich white men best and taught that we should eliminate people we disagree with. So I’m sticking with my image of Jesus as a peaceful yet rebellious hippie who didn’t own property, hung out with social outcasts, was strongly anti- authoritarian, and loved everyone, even his enemies. I bring this to your attention, Leo, in the hope that you’ll be inspired by my example. It’s time to revisit one of your best teacher’s essential messages, and rededicate yourself to those beautiful truths.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22) With the help of a Norwegian space facility, the Frito-Lay company has used radar to beam a commercial for its Doritos tortilla chips to 47 Ursae Majoris, a star 42 light years away. Astronomers believe that habitable planets circle the star, so any creatures living there will eventually get an invitation to enjoy the crunchy corn goodness that so

many earthlings have sampled. I’m making this vignette your metaphor of the week, Virgo. May it inspire you to formulate an “advertisement” for yourself and your specialties that will spread far and wide, reaching a new audience and activating your future potentials.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Please spend some time in the coming week meditating on the epic tale of your life journey. Why? Because it would be an excellent time for you to begin writing your autobiography. Don’t tell me you’re afraid that such a project would be presumptuous. The way I see it, the planets are aligned in such a way as to suggest that you now have extra insight about the big picture of your destiny. So I hope you will at least create an outline of the story you will eventually put down in words, complete with predictions of what will be unfolding for you five years from today, and ten years, and 15 years.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21) The bad news is that you are, metaphorically speaking, in jail. The good news is that a recent visitor sneaked you the key to the locked door of your cell. The weird news: You have not yet realized that you have the means to escape, since your visitor did not actually tell you that the key is hidden inside a certain thing he or she left behind. The great news is that I’m here to inform you about the situation. Once you locate the key, Scorpio, slip your hand between the iron bars so you can fit the key into the keyhole from the front. It won’t work from behind.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A certain connection you’ve been wishing for and fantasizing about will soon become available -- *if,* that is, you shed your expectations about how it will come about, and *if* you shed your ideas about what will happen after the two of you get together, and *if* you shed all hope of controlling that person’s feelings about you. In other words, Sagittarius, you can finally have the alliance you want, but only if you

no longer want it in the way you’ve wanted it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

For the next week, Capricorn, be an expanded and intensified version of yourself. In other words, do what’s most unique about you, but do it even more and better and clearer than you normally do. If, for example, your specialty is being an emotionally intelligent organizer who artfully creates order, do that with even more flair than usual. If you have an exceptional knack for building structures that bring out the best in people, go crazy with that skill. It’s a perfect moment for you to be bigger than life. Why? Because you have more power than usual to change the world around you.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18) The most important advice you need to hear right now comes from musician Brian Eno, as quoted in *Ode*magazine: “I want to encourage you to sing . . . I believe singing is the key to a long life, a good figure, a stable temperament, greater intelligence, new friends, increased self-confidence, heightened sexual attractiveness, and a sense of humor.” You should note, however, that Eno’s prescription does not include performing for other people. He believes it’s crucial that you sing for your own pleasure, and not be concerned about what others’ reactions might be. You need “the freedom to get it wrong.” That’s a perfect guideline for you to observe in everything you do this week.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20) In her poem “Pure,” Kate Knapp Johnson speaks of “those who made me real to myself.” I invite you, Pisces, to take an inventory of the people in your life who’ve made you real to yourself. That would be excellent homework for you to do during the phase of intensified intimacy you’re now in -- a time when your allies are making even you even more real to yourself than you’ve ever been, as well as a time when you will be returning the favor to them.
