Economies of scale by Jim Morekis | jim@connectsavannah.com
I’ve hesitated to mention this for fear of being thought a total idiot —which is still a distinct possibility — but I’ve found myself strangely serene in the wake of the recent economic collapse.
It’s not just the fact that gas prices are coming down, which is certainly a relief. It’s that the meltdown has reassured me that I’m not a total loser. Everyone is talking about how to adjust to the “new realities” of the oncoming recession/depression. The media is prepping us for what is apparently an inevitable transition to Europeanstyle soft socialism (ironically, the main proponent of which is the Bush Treasury Department). But I’m not really adjusting to anything. My family and I adjusted to those “new realities” long ago, without even knowing it. We have no money in the stock market, therefore we have nothing to lose there. We have no savings to speak of, in fact, but as it turns out that was probably a wise move. Go figure. I live two minutes from my office. Our cars are used and paid for. We pay down debt religiously. Even in this market, our house is worth three times what we paid for it 11 years ago. I do confess, for awhile there I wondered if something was wrong with us. We didn’t empty our home equity line to build a big deck or pool. We didn’t refinance our mortgage. We did buy one investment property, luckily for a bargain price. (Still, this turns out to have been our most questionable decision. As we’ve since learned, neither the city nor the county actually want private sector investment, and in
many cases seem actively opposed to it.) But otherwise, we pretty much missed every boom that has come along. Kicked ourselves occasionally, but nonetheless plugged away with our aggressively nonflamboyant lifestyle. We now find ourselves positioned to be perfectly at home in the new, dialed-down, postsuperpower, post-Bush America. Hooray? Back to business: In this week’s paper I talk with Anthony Palliser, a noted portraitist and part-time Savannah resident whose first local show opens at the Jepson this week. A large part of Palliser’s work is devoted to portraits of famous actors, such as John Hurt, our cover boy this week, and Kristin Scott Thomas, who’s getting early Oscar buzz for her
work in I’ve Loved You So Long, screening at this year’s Savannah Film Festival. Speaking of the Film Festival — though it hardly needs any media attention at this point — we will be rolling out our extensive advance coverage in next week’s issue. Also in next week’s issue will be an interview with country star and native Georgian Jason Aldean, written by a new freelance writer of ours, Bill DeYoung. Take a sneak peek at Bill’s full story right now by going to our website at www.connectsavannah.com. This week Lanie Lippincott Peterson gives us a report on the latest chapter of the longrunning greens vs. developers power struggle on the Tybee City Council. Apparently, while Tybee has shockingly left the way open for development to proceed on top of sand dunes — hmmm, I thought sea oats were a protected species — the state DNR is unlikely to allow such a thing. So, to recap: The future depends on DNR doing the right thing. Feel better yet? Speaking of all things green, check out Summer Teal Simpson’s guest column — she’s a frequent contributor, but this week writes in her capacity as a Creative Coast volunteer — about the Innovation Awards, happening Oct. 24 at the Historic Roundhouse Railroad Museum. cs

Ready to recycle City council prepares for curbside program
by linda sickler | linda@connectsavannah.com
The Savannah City Council approved the purchase of 48,000 curbside recycling carts at its Oct. 7 meeting. The carts will be used for the city-wide recycling program scheduled to begin in January. The carts were purchased from Otto Industries at a cost of $2,685,103. Five proposals were received last July, and Otto was the low bidder. The council had previously approved a 10-year contract with
Pratt Industries to process recyclables that are gathered through the program. City Manager Michael Brown told the council that city staffers recently met with Pratt and the Georgia Department of Community Affairs to discuss public education about the program. A campaign kick-off will be held before the program begins. A national marketing firm, Hill & Knowlton, Inc., has been hired by DCA to develop educational
materials that will be used by cities participating in the state’s grant program for recycling. Residents will get education materials when their cart is delivered, community meetings will be held, and local media, billboard ads and brochures will be used to spread information. Each cart will have an information label on it that will briefly explain how the carts are to be used. Employees to operate the program are being recruited. Delivery of equipment, including collection trucks, is expected no later than early December. Once the program begins, the city will be divided into four collection zones. Recyclables will be collected twice a month on the same day garbage is collected. Once the items are gathered, Pratt Industries will process them and sell them for $15 per ton.
Residents will be charged a $1 per month fee to participate in the curbside recycling program. In other action, the council voted 6-3 to again deny a request for eat-in dining at the Russo Seafood restaurant on East 40th Street. The restaurant will be limited to take-out. The Metropolitan Planning Commission had recommended approving the rezoning request, but City Manager Michael Brown recommended denying the request, saying an eat-in restaurant isn’t compatible with the residential character of the area. The council had originally approved a zoning request to allow a take-out restaurant at the location, but owners opened a dine-in restaurant, which the city closed. Brown said the dine-in operation was more intensive than that originally requested by Russo. cs

Show us our money! Editor, Squandering taxpayer’s money appears to be a specialty of this County Commission. Last week, at a candidate forum, incumbent Chairman Pete Liakakis not only defended the $75,000, three-month Health and Wellness program for county employees passed this month, he’d like to put the employee’s families in a program as well. Excuse me? Since when was it OK to use citizen’s tax dollars to pay for an extravagant diet for county officials and staff that includes three meals a day, private trainers and nutrition coaches? Meanwhile, the thousands who use Lake Mayer a week, exercising of their own volition, have nothing more have a stinking Port-a-Potty in one of the parking lots, and playground equipment so old and sad that it tells the complete story of what this County Commission cares about — or rather doesn’t. The County Commission says they do care about environmental issues.
They call curbside recycling a “top priority,” yet when I asked Liakakis about a timeline for such a program, he said they needed to study the issue more. After passing the resolution to become the “greenest county in the state,” the Commission handed over the task, along with $50,000, to the Chatham Environmental Forum, a group of business, government and environmental interests. Members of the forum represent the Southern Company, the Chamber of Commerce and Savannah Economic Developmental Authority. According to the National Association of Counties, the best practice for establishing a countywide green plan is to create an intergovernmental “green team” made up of existing county staff members and departments. It saves taxpayer money and provides the necessary structure. The next Chatham Environmental Forum meeting is this week at the Georgia Power offices. A light dinner will be served, most likely compliments
of Chatham County taxpayers. But who’ll serve the best interests of the citizens? In four years, the county budget has increased 42 percent, from $350 million in 2004 to $502 million in 2008. If the things that people care about were not funded — bike paths, sidewalks, playgrounds, clean, efficient buses, another arborist, recycling — where did all the money go? A big one is the jail expansion. The cost will total $110 million, or $142,000 per bed. But other jails in other counties are costing half that. Cobb County spent $67,000 per bed on a jail expansion. Alabama, New Jersey, and Florida jail projects are coming in at $58,000-$73,000 per bed. Chatham County is spending double the amount of other communities! Chairman Liakakis’ challenger, John McMasters, said the County budget shortfall next year will be between $30 and $40 million. Impact fees on new development could stem that shortfall by $3-4 million, McMasters claimed.
Strangely, Chatham County is the only government body in the area without some sort of impact fees, and Liakakis wants to keep it that way. The developers and real estate agents are “real negative” about them, he said. The majority of communities in this country with a population over 25,000 use impact fees. They take the onus off the taxpayer for funding capital improvements and puts a fee on new construction paid by the builder. Of course the builders and developers in Chatham County don’t want impact fees. But someone has to pay for expanded roads, sewers and water lines. In the face of a world economic crisis and a potentially large county budget gap, the County Commission must increase efficiency. It can start by canceling the Health and Wellness program for county employees. Instead they can send staff to Lake Mayer to walk and run with the rest of us. It is free and has no perks — not even a proper place to pee.

Editor, Today I read about the city issuing citations for underage drinking at Chili’s, Applebees, and Wild Wings. Now, I have stated before that I am all for cracking down on the underage drinking. But when Locos was busted, the City Council tried to revoke their liquor license and forced them to no longer have live music. That was after receiving their second citation. Wild Wings just received their third in less than a year, yet they still had live music over the weekend. They were busy (I went there for lunch on Sunday) and still served me a beer without asking for my ID (I do not look close to 21 though). It just goes to show that Van Johnson was trying to settle a score based on some lemon pepper wings rather than actually address the problem he masked it with. I know this is a dead horse, but the issue is bigger than the infractions. In such a crucial election year it shows us
that even local politicians will always put their own self-interests first. If this city really cared about the perceived “underage drinking problem” they would punish the kids doing the drinking. They won’t, however, because then they will have to answer to parents, SCAD officials, and in some cases military leadership. This would more then likely lead to them not getting re-elected. And let’s be honest about this, most politicians’ biggest concern is getting re-elected. What our local politicians seem to be missing lately is that our economy in Savannah is suffering too. If a business the size of Wild Wings, Locos, Applebees, or Chili’s loses their liquor license, they will most likely go out of business. If this happens, there will be less jobs available and a whole lot less tax revenue to the city. I understand the jobs may not be a skilled labor or a “great job”, but the unemployment rate is approaching six percent nationally. Keeping any job should be important to our elected officials.

Crisis Pregnancy Centers seek to blur line between clinic and counseling by Beth Goers |
A Crisis Pregnancy Center — CPC for short — hopes to be the first place a woman turns when facing an unplanned pregnancy. But pro-choice groups assert that Crisis Pregnancy Centers use deception, intimidation and harassment to dissuade women from having abortions. Though not actually pregnant, to investigate these charges I recently visited some local clinics to see how I’d be treated. The Savannah Care Center on East 34th Street advertises free pregnancy tests on the sign in the yard. I knock on the front door but no one answers. Finally, a woman comes out with a baby on her hip and says they’re closed. I’ll have to try back later. Across the street a young man waits on the cement stairs of the Savannah Medical Clinic. Also listed in the phonebook as “Abortion Clinic of Savannah,” the Savannah Medical Clinic is virtually the area’s only abortion provider. But search “Savannah, GA abortion providers” on Google and the Coastal Pregnancy Center is one of the first names to pop up. Indeed, CPCs often set up shop in close proximity to abortion providers and choose similarsounding names. Another local CPC, the Coastal Pregnancy Center, is a small one-story building on the corner of Skidaway and DeRenne. When I walk in, I’m bombarded with babies. Business cards with photos of embryos are displayed on the front check-in counter. Framed on the wall of the lobby is a huge drawing of oversized hands holding a baby. Below, it says, “God’s handiwork.” A woman in jean shorts welcomes me. “Do you need a pregnancy test?” she asks. “No, I just wanted to talk with someone,” I say. “She just wants counseling,” she hollers down the hall. Another woman emerges from the rear. She has shoulder-length blondish
hair and wears pink medical scrubs. “Have you had the pregnancy confirmed by a doctor?” she asks. “No. But I’ve taken some home pregnancy tests and they were positive,” I say. “Are you going to get Medicare or health insurance involved? Because we need to confirm the pregnancy if you’re going to get Medicare involved.” “I’m on my parents’ health insurance. I’m not sure I want to get them involved.” I can tell she’s displeased. “What we do here is confirm your pregnancy and then provide counseling,” Pink Scrubs says forcefully. “Would you be willing to take a pregnancy test?” Jean Shorts asks. “OK.” Pink Scrubs hands me a bottle of water and a form asking where I heard about the Coastal Pregnancy Center. Their ad in the Yellow Pages says ‘Pregnant? Worried?’ and offers free pregnancy tests and counseling. It’s listed under ‘Clinics,’ right after the All Women’s Health Center of Jacksonville, which offers abortions and free pregnancy tests. I can see how someone might get confused about which clinics provide legitimate medical services. When I’m done filling out the form, Jean Shorts leads me to the bathroom in the back of the building. Pink Scrubs irons a onesie. Many CPCs give material aid like diapers and baby clothes as gifts to clients who come in for pregnancy tests and counseling. There’s also a push to get more ultrasound equipment in pregnancy centers, presuming that once a woman sees images of her baby, she’ll decide to keep it. I leave my urine sample on the top of the toilet and a third woman in her sixties ushers me down the hall. We wait
for the results in a separate room with matching orange armchairs. “Have you ever been pregnant before?” she begins her checklist. “No.” “Have you ever had a miscarriage?” “No.” “Ever had an abortion?” “No.” “If this test comes back positive, is an abortion something you’re considering?” Her voice is motherly and I don’t want to disappoint her. “Yeah, I want to explore all the options.” She looks down at the intake form. “You wrote here that you’re Lutheran.” “Yes.” “Do you go to church?” “Not down here,” I say. She leans closer. “Have you been Saved?” I don’t respond. “Do you believe that Jesus died on the cross, was buried and rose from the dead?” “I don’t know.” “Well, you’re not Saved unless you believe that.” She pulls out a laminated leaflet and scoots closer so I can look. She reads a prayer off of the leaflet and says, “You can hold on to this if you want.” “Thanks,” I say, unsure if I am now Saved. She leaves the room to check on my results. When she comes back, she says, “it was negative,” and shows me the single pink line. While the Coastal Pregnancy Center’s ad in the Yellow Pages makes no mention of religious affiliation, once inside, they don’t hide that they’re a faith-based, pro-life ministry and openly express their opinion that abortion is murder. Their “What Does God Say About Abortion” pamphlet provides Bible scriptures to questions like, “Should a child conceived as a result of rape or incest be aborted?” The answer is Deuteronomy 24:16. “Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.”
The Pregnancy Center of Rincon is a one-story brick building nestled in among other medical buildings. Like many CPCs, it looks like a health care facility, with a waiting room and partitioned check-in desk. A bubbly pregnant woman greets me. She has short curly hair and wears a brown tee shirt that says “Care Net.” Care Net, an umbrella group that provides resources to pregnancy centers, is the largest network of CPCs. About 1,900 pregnancy centers are affiliated with Care Net and Heartbeat International, a second national umbrella group that works closely with Care Net. The pregnant woman hands me a clipboard with forms to fill out. In the back room, we sit down. We talk about abortion first. She gives me a booklet called “Before You Decide: An Abortion Education Resource” published by Care Net. It describes in great detail how each abortion procedure is performed and the risks involved. The main risks the anti-abortion camp focuses on are breast cancer and post-abortion stress syndrome. (The National Cancer Institute refutes any connection between abortion and breast cancer.) The woman tells me she has a friend who had an abortion and now suffers from something called “anniversary guilt.” Every year on the anniversary of her abortion, she has flashbacks of the event and nightmares. She says a lot of women get postabortion stress syndrome, which she likened to post-traumatic stress disorder. (Research studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, American Psychologist and Professional Psychology: Research and Practice, have all concluded that postabortion syndrome does not exist.) She tells me about another friend who gave up her baby for adoption. Every year her friend gets pictures of her son playing softball and blowing out birthday candles. “Doesn’t it make her sad?” I ask. “She says getting the pictures is just a confirmation that she did the right thing,” the woman replies. She hands me another pamphlet,
From there, I get back on Highway 21 and drive back to the Savannah Care Center on East 34th. The renovated house looks like a daycare center. Toys litter the floor. Their ad in the Yellow Pages says they offer free pregnancy tests, counseling and medical referrals, but no one could mistake this for a medical facility. After standing awkwardly in the lobby for a minute or so, a woman approaches me. “Can I help you?” She’s dressed in a navy pantsuit. “I’m pregnant and I’m not sure what I’m to do,” I say. “Are you considering abortion?” “Yes.” I try not to sound apologetic. “Are you considering adoption?” “Yeah, I’m considering all the options.” She tells me they work with a great adoption agency and that I can change my mind about giving the baby up at any time, even when it’s born. “We had this one girl who called me up the morning she gave birth and said ‘I can’t do it. I can’t give him up.’ So she kept him. She’s real young, but she’s a good mom.” Young moms trading parties for pampers are a growing population.
Last year the government announced that the nation’s teen birth rate had risen after a 14-year decline. Less than one-third of teen moms ever finish high school. Navy Pantsuit leads me to the bathroom in the back of the house, where I’ve agreed to take a pregnancy test. After I’ve done my business I walk
back to Navy Pantsuit’s office. She instructs me to place my cup of urine on a small table by the door. She hands me a little eyedropper and tells me to squeeze out five drops onto the test area. She and I hover above the test until it indicates that I am not pregnant. I act surprised and relieved. Navy Pantsuit asks me about contra-
ception and says, “Using condoms is like playing Russian roulette.” She says that condoms fail “something like 40 percent of the time.” “That’s why we promote abstinence,” she says. “You know, abstaining from sex.” She says ‘sex’ like it’s a dirty word. I thank her and take my leave. cs

“Adoption: A Loving Choice,” from a nearby shelf. I believe that adoption is a loving choice; I’m sure family planning clinics like Planned Parenthood agree. She continually reminds me that I have plenty of time to make a decision. “You’re a skinny little thing and you won’t show for awhile,” she says. I like her even more. I get the sense that she thinks my best option is to marry the baby’s father and keep the baby. We talk at great lengths about the benefits of marriage and parenting, especially after she learns that my boyfriend lives with me. “Well, he’s obviously really smart and you love him and it was going towards marriage anyways. It’s not like you guys have only been together for two months.” “True,” I say, suddenly wondering why my boyfriend hasn’t proposed. This push to get married directly conflicts with the center’s own pamphlet on adoption, which says, “Getting married because you are pregnant is now recognized to be a poor basis for building a loving family. Marriage failures are high for those who marry under such pressures.” The woman tells me I have plenty to discuss with my boyfriend and says, “I’ll be praying for you this weekend. Call me or I’ll worry.”

Not a shore thing
Tybee council votes to allow building on beach dunes — but that still may never happen by Lanie Lippincott Peterson | laniepeterson@comcast.net
Anger in his voice, Tybee Island City Councilman Eddie Crone railed against a local law that kept property owners from building on coastal sand dunes for years. Under Tybee’s seven-year-old Shore Protection Act, the city had protected its dunes from development. And for good reason, coastal experts said. These hills of sand — some ten feet high and covered with sea oats — are a critical barrier, keeping ocean waves from surging across this barrier island in a hurricane. But Crone and other business advocates had a different view of the shoreline act. They called it bad for property owners — and overly strict. “Tybee’s jurisdiction was taking people’s property,” Crone said during a break in the council’s meeting Thursday night. Some residents couldn’t build on dunes on their own property, Crone complained. “It was unfair.” At least one Tybee hotel owner, Harry Spirides, agrees. Spirides has talked of bulldozing some of the widening dunes because they prevented his guests from
playing frisbee on the sand. Fed up with city dune protection rules, Crone led the charge Thursday night to get rid of them. And he and his supporters won, repealing the shoreline act 4-2, with council members Dick Smith and Paul Wolff dissenting. But if the council majority jettisoned a stringent law, Tybee’s dunes remained under protection — if not by Tybee, then by Georgia itself, state and local officials said. “We implement shore protection—no matter what,” vowed Brad Gane, with the Coastal Resources Division of Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources. Gane said he liked communities such as Jekyll Island and several other communities remaining involved with shoreline protection. But if Tybee bowed out, Gane promised that the state would do the job. Though some council members
talked of building on the dunes, Gane’s department rarely grants permission to build there. In the last 25 years, Gane said, he knew of no one who has been able to build a house on a dune. Still, Gane did note that state law might make “possible” for a property owner to build a gazebo or another structure on the dune. Under the state’s 1981 rules, any project built on the dunes must sit on the landward side of the dune and must maintain “the normal functions” of that area in minimizing damage from storms, waves and erosion. Still, a DNR pamphlet noted, the state’s jurisdiction along the coast “is not a ‘no build’ zone.” If Tybee’s shoreline act was more restrictive than the state’s, its repeal doesn’t mean open season on the dunes, Wolff noted. “It doesn’t mean people can do what they want,” the councilman said. “They still have to come to the state to seek permission to build. It doesn’t open the door to all development.”
On Thursday night, environmentalists like Wolff had argued strongly against repeal of Tybee’s shoreline ordinance. Also former council member Kathryn Williams read aloud a plea from a St. Simons’ group, the Center for a Sustainable Coast, which she belongs to. Continued use of Tybee’s ordinance “would prevent damage to property and risk to lives,” the statement said. Also opposed was another former council member, environmentalist Mallory Pearce who urged the council not to “rush to judgment” and allow people to build houses on the dunes. Once Tybee’s shore protection act was repealed, city leaders took the news in stride. “I think it’s unfortunate,” Mayor Jason Buelterman said. “It was important to have a more restrictive ordinance to protect this island.” Still, the mayor noted, “An agency like DNR doesn’t generally let people build.” cs
Not just for February anymore It appears that celebrating Savannah’s African American heritage has made the leap out of the confines of February’s Black History Month, expanding into the fall season in a huge way. The Jepson Center for the Arts got the ball rolling with “Freedom’s March: Photographs of the Civil Rights Movement.” Frederick C. Baldwin’s images are accompanied by nearly two dozen related events, hosted all over the city in the next three months. This week’s offerings include Indigo Sky Gallery’s exhibit of art by students from Gadsden Elementary (Saturday, Oct. 18, 1-4 p.m.) and a Tuesday, Oct. 20 lecture at AASU, “Having our Civil Rights Movement Say: Celebrating the Feminine ‘Freedom Speak’ of Ellen Baker and Fanny Lou Hammer” by Dr. Elizabeth F. Desnoyers-Colas, (6 p.m., University Hall, Room 156.)
Included on the “Freedom’s March” schedule are two events next week sponsored by the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum, part of its party celebrating the completion of its new annex, located immediately to the east of the museum and fronting Alice Street. With seating for over 250 guests, the new annex provides much-needed space and improved access for educational programming and performances. On Tuesday, Oct. 21 at 6 p.m., Savannah taxicab driver-turned-bestselling author Robert T.S. Mickles, Sr. will give a lecture at the new annex based on his book Blood Kin: A Savannah Story, which spent several weeks on the Essence magazine bestseller list. Two days later (Thursday, Oct. 23, 6 pm) author, film producer and 60’s-era civil rights activist Constance Curry of Atlanta will appear at the annex to screen her documentary An Intolerable Burden. The film tells the story of the late Mae Bertha Carter’s enduring
efforts to enroll seven of her children in the all-white school system of Sunflower County, Miss. The late W.W. Law, icon of the Savannah civil rights movement and founding member of the Gilbert Civil Rights Museum, appears in the documentary. The completed Civil Rights Museum Annex is the latest of several new or restored buildings and upgraded business ventures established on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in the past decade. With a de facto SCAD campus on the north end, several thriving businesses in the stretch south of Liberty Street and beyond the I-16 off-ramp overpass, and the always buzzing Visitors Center/Railroad Museum/Battlefield Park complex along a significant stretch of MLK’s west side, it is easier than ever to imagine the vitality of the street back in its early 20th century prime. The boulevard, formerly known as West Broad Street, was the center African American life in Savannah.
The Big Show Savannah festival, kicking off Friday, Oct.31, is a threeday-long festival celebrating West Broad/MLK’s nearly lost heritage. The party, featuring live music, food, crafts, and vendors, will be concentrated in the six blocks of MLK Boulevard between the overpass and Gwinnett Street, on the east side of the street. The Big Show’s two biggest gatherings are scheduled for Friday night and all day and evening Saturday, beginning after Savannah State University’s homecoming parade passes by at lunchtime. A more subdued party will wrap up on Sunday from noon-6 p.m. MLK Boulevard will not be blocked off during the festival. With local emphasis on alternative transportation on the rise, and the festival’s theme of “LiveGreen – Save the Planet,” it’s too bad Big Show-goers won’t have the chance to experience one of Savannah’s great historic boulevards without dodging modern day auto traffic. cs

Now that’s a Green Party! Some parties are better than others. The food tastes more decadent. The champagne is bubblier. The red carpet runs just a bit longer. The guests laugh a little louder. In an attempt to outpace the ordinary awards tradition, The Creative Coast Alliance (TCCa) has pulled out all the stops. The result of their out-of-thebox event planning – not to mention assistance from a multitude of local volunteers and businesses – is the 2008 Innovation Awards. Presented by Lott + Barber, this fete de soiree on Oct. 24 hopes to rise above the rest (but in sensible shoes - it is at the Roundhouse after all), while paying homage to local innovation. “Innovation and sustainability go hand in hand,� says Tommy Linstroth, Head of Sustainable Initiatives at Melaver, Inc., who was instrumental in consulting with TCCa on earth-friendly event options. “When you look at some of the crises facing our planet—innovation and new technologies are going to help contribute to a sustainable economy and ecology for us and for future generations.� Starting at square one, TCCa is able to offset carbon emissions from the awards banquet thanks to donations from Jason Wycoff at Renewable Choice Energy, a company dedicated to assisting individuals and businesses interested in offsetting carbon production from homes and offices. This will include offsetting emissions from electricity to power the party and transportation to get guests there. In addition, preferred parking will be given to guests who arrive in alternative-fuel vehicles or who carpool. Inside the event, lighting provided by Stagefront Presentation Systems incorporates LED and CFL bulbs to reduce energy consumption. Living plants will double as decorative centerpieces, which guests can take home to enjoy. Earth to Table (Cha Bella’s catering arm) will cater the event, serving up a selection of organic and locally grown food, and will compost any leftover food scraps. Moon River Brewery will provide locally-brewed beer and cocktails served in corn-based, biodegradable cups. Reusable dishware will be used instead of disposable paper and
plastic materials, and event recycling will be made possible by the City of Savannah. “We’re hoping we can use this event as the benchmark for all the other awards programs, galas and soirees that go on in Savannah and demonstrate that not only can you put on a great event, you can really minimize the impact on the environment,â€? says Linstroth. Sustainability will extend to the award ceremony itself, including programs printed on recycled paper using soy-based ink by local Spanish Moss printing, Eco-chic furnishings for the stage and cocktail lounge will be provided by local “greenâ€? retailer and furniture showroom Structured Green. To ensure that the credo of environmental stewardship carries beyond the event, guests will receive reusable giftbags full of cool, eco-friendly goodies, including 13-watt CFL light bulbs (equivalent to a traditional 60-watt bulb, and lasting up to 10 times longer), provided courtesy of Georgia Power. Even the trophies themselves will boast a green raison d’être. TCCa has commissioned local artist/sculptor Jerome Meadows to design and create seven unique award statues to be presented to Innovation Awards winners. “The pieces will focus on a sense of celebration and accomplishment in innovation,â€? says Meadows, whose goal is to make each prize valuable as an individual work of art. “My goal is to create something that will turn the normal statue on its head,â€? Meadows explains. “It will be more than something that just hangs on a wall or sits on a shelf.â€? Yes, it’s true. Some parties are better than others. Don’t miss the 2008 Innovation Awards, where the food is fresher, the guests are more creative and the red carpet is actually quite green. cs Summer Simpson is a blogger and volunteer with The Creative Coast Alliance. TCCa’s 2008 Innovation Awards When: October 24, 6 p.m. cocktails, 7:30 awards ceremony Where: Historic Roundhouse Museum, MLK Jr. Blvd. and Harris. Cost: $75.

Born to mop
Police were called to the intersection of Abercorn Street and Stephenson Avenue about a man who was yelling and swinging a mop.
When officers arrived, the man was in the middle of the intersection acting strange and disoriented. He approached police aggressively and was told to sit on the curb. When the officers questioned the man, he told them someone had jumped him and knocked him off his bicycle. As officers continued to question him, he became more disorderly, and his emotions swung between anger and crying. There was a minor abrasion on the man’s right hand and some blood on his shorts and around his lips. His pupils were extremely large, and he was very intoxicated. He said he had gotten off work and stopped to have a few beers. As he approached Abercorn, an unknown man pushed him or knocked him off his bike.
The officers asked the man for more information about the suspect several times, and if anything had been taken from him in the attack. He gave a different answer each time. • A woman was walking northbound in the 3600 block of Ogeechee Road shortly before midnight. An officer asked what she was doing in the area so late and she said she was going home to go to bed. The officer asked to see ID, and the woman said she left it at home. When asked her name and birth date, she gave a false name and false birth date. When the officer ran the information, nothing came up. The officer asked the woman if she was lying and she said she wasn’t. The information was then run through Florida’s database, because that’s where the woman said she grew up. No records came back. Finally, the woman gave her correct name, and several hits from the database came up. She was arrested on a charge of obstruction. • The manager of an Abercorn Street restaurant said some customers who dined there left an envelope with $380 in it on
the table. The bus boy who cleaned the table assumed the money was for the waitress who served them, and handed the envelope to her. She kept the envelope and didn’t say anything about the money. The customers came back to the restaurant and complained to the manager on duty. He and the restaurant’s loss prevention office confronted the waitress, who wrote a statement saying that she stole the money. The waitress said she wants to pay the money back to the customer. • An officer on routine patrol saw a pickup truck traveling at a high rate of speed going north on Abercorn Street at the East Gwinnett Street intersection. When the driver saw the officer’s patrol car, he hit his brakes to slow down, and the officer was able to stop him at Abercorn and Taylor streets. As the officer approached the vehicle, he informed the man who he was and why he made the stop. When the officer told the
man he was driving at a high rate of speed, the man responded, “I was?” When the man spoke, the officer smelled alcohol on his breath. He said he was going home after watching a movie. Although the man said he’d had one or two 16-ounce beers about two hours earlier, his speech was slurred and his eyes were glassy. He was given the standardized field sobriety test, consisting of the horizontal gaze nystagmus, walk-and-turn and one-leg stand. The man failed the eye test, and started too soon on the walk-and-turn. He missed heel-to-toe on several steps and stepped off line. During the leg stand, he put his raised foot down after just 5 seconds, started again and put his leg down again after 5 seconds. He was placed under arrested for driving under the influence and agreed to take a breathalyzer test. cs Give anonymous crime tips to Crimestoppers at 234-2020

news of the weird Lead Story
Developing Democracies: Candidates for local office in Brazil can either register under their own names or make them up, and in the October election this year, three candidates chose “Barack Obama” (none won), and others registered under “Bill Clinton,” “Jorge Bushi” and “Chico Bin Laden,” but more than 200 offered themselves under the name of the country’s popular president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. And in July, when the government of India tried to push its historic nuclear pact with the United States through the parliament, it found six more votes among elected members who were serving prison sentences, and ordered them released so they could vote for the bill. (Nearly one-fourth of the 540-member parliament have criminal charges pending against them.)
News That Sounds Like a Joke
(1) Britain’s Bristol City Council warned residents in government housing in September to always leave their sheds unlocked. Otherwise, thieves would have to break the doors down to get inside, and taxpayers would be stuck with the repair bills. (2) Atlanta Pentecostal preacher Thomas Meeks told the Journal-Constitution in October that he was “in talks” to create a “Survivor”-type TV reality show in which the twice-divorced evangelist navigates a field of single women and selects a winner. “Holy Hook Up: Who Will Be the Next Mrs. Weeks?” will, he said, be a “very tasteful, five-star presentation.”
Paul McCarthy, was a sculpture entitled “Complex Shit,” and the inflatable item was supposed to be a dog dropping the size of a house. Explained the Klee center’s Web site (challengingly), the show features “interweaving, diverse, not to say conflictive emphases and a broad spectrum of items to form a dynamic exchange of parallel and selfeclipsing spatial and temporal zones.” (Or, wrote London’s Daily Telegraph in broken French, it is “what happens when la merde hits le ventilateur.”) Sculptor Marc Quinn unveiled “Siren” in October at the British Museum, feting the model Kate Moss, who posed for him, though not quite in the position Quinn ultimately created. “Siren” is life-size, in 18k gold (that cost Quinn around $2 million), and treats the gaudiness of the so-called supermodel. As such, Moss is posed seated, holding her legs behind her head. (Some, but not all, news outlets chose to show “Siren” modestly, from the side rather than the front.)
Government in Action
Things Government Does When It’s Not Bailing Out the Economy: (1) The municipal transit company in Austin, Texas, unveiled a rider-education campaign in August, giving step-by-step instructions in how to stand up on buses without falling over. When the bus is accelerating, “lean forward and put your weight on your front foot.” (The introductory frame on the poster features a harried rider exclaiming, “Help! I’ll never figure it out!”) (2) A British government-funded poster campaign, also introduced in August, aims to encourage those waiting for municipal buses to Great Art! do Pilates-type movements to improve Chilean-Danish artist Marco physical fitness.

Police Blotter
Awesome: Police in Dortmund, Germany, arrested six Romanians in June and charged them with stealing from trucks on the open highway. Allegedly, the thieves would drive their own truck carefully up behind a tractor-trailer at highway speed, and a man on the hood would open the back of the rig with a bolt cutter. He would climb in and loot the rig of computers and cell phones by passing them to a partner on the hood of the trailing truck. Almost Awesome: Motorist Michael Mills Jr., 38, who was making a getaway from police in Chesapeake, Va. (who wanted him on identity-theft charges), broke through a drawbridge warning arm and tried to jump (“Dukes of Hazzard”-style) onto the span that was being lowered. He missed, and the car plunged into the Elizabeth River, where it sank (Mills was rescued and arrested).
Recurring Themes
Least Competent Criminals: (1) A 30-year-old man appears to be the most recent person (according to the account of police in Woodland, Calif.) to attempt to throw fireworks at a target while traveling in a car, but having the toss fail to clear the window and thus explode inside the car. He was hospitalized. (2) In another familiar scene, two 18-year-old men spotted police approaching their trailer in Salina, Kan., in August, panicked, and tossed illegal drugs out a window. However, police spotted the flying drugs, even though cops had intended only to serve warrants on two of their neighbors. The men were arrested. The estimated one million Japanese (almost all males) who suffer from the major anti-social funk called “Hikikomori” and confine themselves inside (typically, a bedroom in their parents’ home) for months at a time without human interaction has been mentioned in News of the Weird in 2000 and 2005. In July, the Japanese software company Avex produced a video to help, featuring young women staring into the lens, occasionally saying “Good morning,” so that Hikikomori sufferers can practice feeling the gazes of strangers. cs By chuck shepherd UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE
Caving in? Please, let’s not panic. The fundamentals of our planet are strong. Besides, we’re talking about a liquid here, and it’s pretty far down. Wholesale removal of solids such as coal or salt close to the surface, now... no question that can lead to exciting times in the immediate vicinity. Still, even if it’s oil at the end of a really long straw, suck out a trillion barrels (roughly what the Exxons of the world have pumped up to date) and you’re going to see an impact. I don’t say it ranks with the collapse of the world financial system, but 100-plus years of serious petroleum extraction have caused the earth to shrivel up. The familiar image of a spurting oil gusher may give the impression petroleum is stored in some kind of immense underground spray can. Not exactly. Sometimes there’s pressure; compressed natural gas often found in petroleum reservoirs may force the crude to spew after the initial strike. But typically the oil isn’t sitting in a subterranean lake but rather in sand, shale, or porous rock. Once the oil is removed, the weight of the earth above flattens out what’s left and the land sinks—this is called subsidence. Usually subsidence can be detected only via sophisticated instruments— one New York investment firm claimed to be able to gauge the depletion of Saudi petroleum reserves by using satellite-based radar. But sometimes it can be easy to spot. Parts of Long Beach, California, for instance, dropped almost 30 feet in the 1940s and ‘50s due to oil production. The Goose Creek oil field near Houston was a couple of feet above sea level when production began circa WWI; now sizable parts of it are

RE INNOVATE CELEBRATE NURTU
Creative ideas are the fuel that drive innovation. Funny thing about ideas, when they're given the time and attention to take root, amazing results follow. It takes a lot of work, a lot of love, and one way-cool community. As luck would have it, we've got it all right here and for that we say, let's celebrate the innovation among us. (After all, creative is our middle name.)

Never mind the current demand for the stuff—what becomes of the void oil drilling creates? If we pump out millions of barrels per day, we can’t very well leave giant empty caverns, can we? Is the planet on the verge of caving in or what? —Dan, Long Island
underwater. And in Venezuela dikes had to be built to prevent flooding of sunken lands around the oil fields at Lake Maracaibo. One way to control subsidence is to pump something else in after you’ve pumped the oil out. Following initial extraction of crude, oil companies may flood the reservoir with water to flush out additional petroleum; this process has largely halted subsidence in places like Long Beach. Now experts are trying the same trick using carbon dioxide, both to increase oil production and to sequester greenhouse gases. The Canadians have been stuffing their Weyburn oil field with CO2 since 2000, planning eventually to store 30 million tons. It’s the removal of solid stuff, though, that you really have to worry about. Some coal mines practice what’s called longwall mining, where the roof is allowed to cave in behind the miners as they dig out the coal in front of them. In principle the resulting subsidence is easier to plan for, but still it often causes serious damage as nearby buildings, roads, train tracks, and pipelines sink four to six feet. (Mine owners are supposed to pay compensation.) And worse things can happen. The hamlet of Centralia, Pa., was rendered uninhabitable after a coal seam underneath it caught fire in the 1980s, opening up steaming hot sinkholes filled with toxic gases. The fire’s still going and could burn another 250 years. Salt mines are a special case: they can slowly squeeze shut as the salt deforms beneath the weight of the rock above, or they can collapse when leaking groundwater dissolves the salt pillars holding up the roof. The Retsof Salt Mine in upstate New York is a prime example of the latter problem: its 1994 cave-in led to gaping sinkholes, a wrecked bridge, and utility damage. But for sheer breathtaking stupidity I don’t see anything beating the disaster at Lake Peigneur, La. In 1980 oil drillers in the lake accidentally pierced the roof of the Diamond Crystal Salt Mine 1,200 feet below, ultimately collapsing the bottom of the lake. In the spectacular whirlpool of destruction that followed, 65 acres of land, 11 barges, two drill rigs, and a tugboat (but, miraculously, no people) literally went down the drain. cs

Asteroid Alert
Indonesian Eruption
A project to detect and survey near-Earth objects was able to issue the world’s first warning that an asteroid was about to strike the planet, or at least its atmosphere. The NASAfunded Catalina Sky Survey discovered a chunk of space debris about the size of a kitchen table, and was quickly able to predict when and where it would enter the atmosphere and disintegrate few hours later. The captain of a KLM airliner about 750 nautical miles southwest of the predicted atmospheric entry point said he saw a bright flash prior to the anticipated impact.
Several hours of fiery activity from Sulawesi Island’s Soputan volcano convinced Indonesian vulcanologists to raise the eruption warning level to the third-highest on a four-level scale. Lava was not expected to threaten any of those living on the 5,995foot mountain’s slopes, or the nearest village about 5 miles from the summit crater.
On the Brink The prestigious International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) issued a warning that more than a third of the world’s mammals could very well disappear forever. The dire prediction accompanied an update of the “Red List,” which ranks the most threatened members of the planet’s biodiversity. Despite the grim outlook for some creatures, Swiss-based IUCN points to the success that various conservation projects have accomplished in helping species crawl back from the brink of extinction.

Greenland Melt Satellite observations made over the past summer reveal that the northern part of the Greenland ice sheet experienced a record number of melting days, producing weeks of extreme snow melt, according to a group of American researchers. Professor Marco Tedesco of the City College of New York found that microwave sensors aboard a U.S.
Defense Meteorological Satellite Program’s F13 satellite observed that melting in northern Greenland lasted up to 18 days longer over summer than ever seen before. Tedesco and his team believe abnormally warm surface temperatures, and possibly more sunshine this summer, were probably responsible for the melt.

with the Brazilian air force to take the wayward Magellanic penguins to the south of the country, where it is hoped they will swim farther south to the cooler climes of Patagonia. It appears that warmer-than-normal ocean currents carried the birds thousands of miles farther north than usual in search of food. Nearly a thousand died of exhaustion, illness or starvation. After resting and being given a clean bill of health, some of the surviving misguided voyagers were herded into the sea in Brazil’s far southern city of Pelotas. cs by steve newman, universal press syndicate

Air Supply
Here’s another big-name act that’s long-past their commercial prime, but still able to fill large clubs and small theaters across the globe. The lineup may be different from the group that scored massive international chart success in the early ‘80s with soft-rock hits like “Lost In Love” (#1), “Even The Nights Are Better” (#1), “All Out of Love” (#2) “The One That You Love” (#2), “Making Love Out of Nothing at All” (#2) and “Every Woman in the World” (#5). (Notice a theme here?) Still fronted by the songwriting duo of British guitarist/vocalist Graham Russell and Australian vocalist Russell Hitchcock, this year alone, the band has toured from Brazil to Israel and from Canada to the Philippines. Regional R&B/jazz duo Lavon Stevens & Louise Spencer scored the opening slot on this potentially packed gig at the newest showcase venue in the greater Savannah area. Tix: $28 adv./$35 door. Listen & Learn: airsupplymusic. com. Fri., 8:30 pm, Shoreline Ballroom (Hilton Head).
Chronicles of The Landsquid
Back for the second local show in just a few months, this “envelopepushing” group which appeals to the jam-band audience by blending electronica, drum & bass, break-beats, progressive trance, trip-hop and jazz fusion into an infectious, dance-oriented groove generator. They’ve opened for Particle, Bassnectar and The Disco Biscuits, among others. Opening for them will be frequent tour mate M.O. Theory — a hiphop and ghettotech DJ/producer. $5 adv./$7 door.

The Wiyos @ The Telfair & Jepson If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to travel back in time to the USA of the 1920s and 1930s, catching a show by this NYC-based acoustic combo goes a long, long way towards granting that wish. They’re one of the most entertaining and mesmerizing Old-Time groups in the country today — because of their willingness to tackle all manner of pre-WWI Americana. Whether it be rural blues, “hot” jazz, early swing, Appalachian jug-band music or melodramatic Vaudevillian crooning, this theatrical, anachronistic trio finds a fun, catchy way to connect the dots between such seemingly disparate genres. Vocalist Michael Farkas (who also doubles on washboard, harmonica and kazoo), fronts the combo of upright bassist Joseph DeJarnette and Parrish Ellis and Teddy Webber (who, between them, play resonator and arch-top guitars, guitjo, banjo, ukulele
The CunningLynguists
This clever and eclectic Lexington, Ky. hip-hop act with a great name draws on an unusually wide range of musical styles as musical beds for their thoughtprovoking raps, and it’s served them well (they’ve opened for
and steel guitar) with a demeanor that’s equal parts Buster Keaton and King Oliver. They tour relentlessly and in the past have drawn large crowds at both The Sentient Bean Coffeehouse and American Legion Post 135. Now they’ve been hired by the Telfair Museum for a five-day residency that finds them playing free public concerts and conducting hands-on workshops for local students. Read an exclusive interview with the band at connectsavannah.com. Listen & Learn: myspace.com/thewiyos, telfair.org. Sun., 3 pm (part of the Free Family Sunday event), Telfair Academy + Tues. - Wed., noon, Jepson Center for The Arts - free to ALL-AGES.
Kanye West and Aesop Rock, produced KRS-One and written songs with Cee-Lo. Described as “Too white for BET, too black for MTV2,” this trio of “a preacher’s son, a Caucasian guy from rural Ga. and a convicted felon” are the real deal, and have proven their mettle over the course of seven
years and four LPs. Opening acts on this massive bill include local Dope Sandwich-affiliated MCs Zone D and Lyrix, plus DJ Valis and the live funk band Dinko’s Bones. Listen & Learn: myspace. com/cunninglynguists, myspace. com/dopesandwichmusic. Tues., 10 pm, The Jinx. cs

Marina Lomazov believes she knows the reasons so many classical musicians find themselves romantically linked to others in the same profession: proximity, opportunity and a sense of simpatico. “Young people meet in college and musicians usually don’t venture far outside their music world,” the critically acclaimed concert pianist explains. “They practice all the time! Also, musicians understand each other’s need to practice for hours on end.” Her own husband, Joseph Rackers, surely understands the discipline and dedication required of touring concert pianists, as he himself is one as well. “I practice every day, for as many hours as possible,” he admits. Over the past decade, they have become one of the more celebrated duos on the classical music scene, and this weekend, they’ll appear together at the Lucas Theatre in a recital presented by the Savannah Concert Association. The featured piece will be a special, four-handed rendition of Stravinsky’s iconic 1913 work “The Rite of Spring.” According to Rackers, the notoriously technical and demanding composition “requires a lot of physical and mental endurance.” Yet, it has become something of a signature piece for the two keyboardists. Devout advocates of 20th and 21st Century music, the pair have given more than 20 airings of “The Rite of Spring” over the past two years, prompting once reviewer to note the duo had “demonstrated that nearly 100 years after it was written, this modernist touchstone can still sound modern.” Since the couple first met 18 years ago at the famed Eastman School of Music, they —alone and together— have dazzled audiences and earned critical raves throughout the USA and Europe. When not giving symphonic, solo or duo concerts, they both serve on the piano faculty of the University of South Carolina School of Music. The Russian-born Lomazov says the hours of preparation which go into honing a difficult piece such as this one allow musicians to focus solely on the art as opposed to the physical act of
Rackers and Lomazov
performing. “One has to be physically trained to play an instrument, dance or paint, so the passion and emotion one feels so intensely can be expressed with utmost abandon and freedom. For us, a successful recital means not thinking about the technical aspects, so we can concentrate completely on conveying how we feel about the music.” Rackers notes “the biggest challenge” in playing a four-handed recital is “to create a blended approach that almost sounds like one pianist rather than two.” This is quite a tricky proposition, notes Lomazov. She stresses that in order to achieve such a “unified sound” at a single keyboard, the two soloists are constrained by their environment. “Physically sharing a space so close to each other presents challenges in coordinating our movements,” she offers. “One can’t simply move freely, or they may bump into the other person and distract them.” So, does working alongside one’s romantic partner in such a high-stress situation ever contribute to domestic friction? “We wouldn’t know,” Lomazov replies with a smile. “We never fight.” cs Read more at connectsavannah.com.

Anthony Palliser brings ‘Big Heads’ and big new work to the Jepson Center by Jim Morekis | jim@connectsavannah.com
He has a charming English accent and spends most of his time in Paris. His portraits of celebrities have made him one of the world’s most sought-after artists. Though born to a British father and a Belgian mother, Anthony Palliser can lay claim to being a great Savannah artist as well. As with many short-term visitors here who end up staying, he simply fell in love with the place. To be fair, he not only fell in love with Savannah, he fell in love with a Savannah woman: the former Diane Lawyer, now Anthony’s wife. Together, the two spend several months a year in Savannah, and even when in Europe are never far away in spirit. At long last, Palliser will open a show here, the succinctly-titled “Palliser” at the Jepson Center Oct. 16-Jan. 28. In addition to featuring ten of his famous “Big Head” portraits of various celebrities and literati, the exhibit will showcase two original, large-scale paintings done specially for this event. Palliser is in town now, but he spoke to us a couple of weeks ago while still in Paris. Tell us how you came to be a part-time Savannah resident. Anthony Palliser: The story is that in 1977 I came here completely by mistake. Nash McIntosh’s second wife is the sister of a very great friend of mine from Oxford. I went to see them, they were going to Savannah, and I just followed, because I was going on to New York and I thought Savannah was a pretty name. I’d met Diane while she was working with Nash. Fourteen years later I called her and as a sort of joke, she said, “I’m giving a party for Memorial Day.” So I went back. Part of it was an American trip, but I stopped again in Savannah. Finally she came to live with me in September, 1991. And we’ve always come back to Savannah at least four months a year. So
now Savannah is the place, second to Paris, where I’ve spent most of my life – I’ve realized to some amusement. How difficult is the transition each year from Europe to Savannah and back again? Anthony Palliser: There are a lot of similarities. Savannah actually reminds me in many ways of Ireland. Not physically, but there’s the love of eccentrics, a love of storytelling – and of drinking (laughs). I could tell these people were descended from Brits, Scots, and Irishmen. And also because it’s much more easygoing and laidback than New York and the big cities. It has a strong advantage of its unique beauty. Not only downtown, historic Savannah, but where we live on Wilmington Island is absolutely glorious. So completely unique, the Lowcountry, those marshes and the mazes of the rivers. I don’t think the Georgia coast gets enough recognition for the uniqueness of its landscape and ecosystem. Anthony Palliser: Nor do I. It’s truly beautiful, and it’s genuinely inspired a whole section of my work. Because it’s so flat, you have a feeling of immensity, don’t you? When I go and sit on the dock, everything looks bigger than it does in Europe. What’s the deal with Brits and hot places? Is the old line true: ‘Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun?’ Anthony Palliser: I’m not ashamed to tell you that the minute it gets hot in Savannah I rush back to Europe. The end of May is hot enough for me. Your wife Diane has been called your muse, but obviously you were an established artist before you met her. What exactly has been her impact on your work?
Anthony Palliser: I’m actually very touched that in the catalogue she’s been referred to so politely, because she plays a huge part in my life. A friend of mine who’s a painter and lives in Canada, on seeing my big book with everything, she said, “You’re lucky, because you’ve painted your life.” I’m touched by that, because though it sounds commonplace, it’s not. Necessarily for me, I would paint the woman I love. And also, because she’s always there (laughs). She’s actually a terrible model. She never poses. So I take lots of photographs and work from them. But she has inspired me. I think she’s very beautiful and has a great, dignified presence. The show catalogue also says you have a total lack of formal training. That sounds very romantic, but is it true? Anthony Palliser: That’s actually completely true. I’ve never had a painting lesson. I had a very extreme and eccentric art teacher in high school. He taught me to hate everyone after and including Michelangelo (laughs). He maintained it was all rubbish, and you should only look at Flemish primitives or something like that. Which is a great way to brainwash a young boy, because then of course you discover by yourself how great everyone is. You thought Rembrandt was tosh, but when you really open up your eyes and see it, you realize how spectacular it is. In England there’s this weird thing that when you leave the equivalent of high school before you go to college, there’s nine months which are supposed to give the young person a chance to enjoy and do things. It’s a good idea, really. My parents didn’t quite know what to do with me, so they sent me to the Fine Arts in Rome, which was a wonderful education in bohemia, and the wonders of women, and other things. But very little about painting. And I did a lot of very bad stuff. I sort of had to relearn. When I started teaching, there was a lot of art school jargon that I didn’t know. So you use a lot continues on p. 22

pening in the world this minute, that’s incredible. Wall Street’s collapsing, but the big art buyers took no notice.
You seem to know more show business people than artists. Why is that?
You’re debuting two huge new pieces at the Jepson. How did that come about?
Anthony Palliser: In Paris I know more people in the acting world than in the art world. In many ways I feel outside the art world – I am outside the art world. The art scene in Paris isn’t terribly lively. It’s more lively in England and big cities in America like New York and Los Angeles.
Anthony Palliser: When I was walking through the room there, it struck me how tall it was. It’s not often an artist is able to let himself do something that big, because people always ask, where will you keep it and who will buy it? I measured the doors and got the agreement of the director. I decided to paint a diver and a swimmer, as a tribute to Savannah, in a way. The diver is jumping into the Wilmington River. The swimmer turns out to be Nash. I took a couple of snaps of Nash taking his daily swim and it gave me the idea for this thing. They’re 14 feet high, seven wide. I managed to get a couple of my ex-students to help me. I rented a huge studio, and we had five days. I’d done all sorts of preparatory sketches, and then we all went to work. So it was like a chef with all his sous chefs (laughs). Without them I couldn’t possibly have done it, physi-
Isn’t the center of art and commerce moving to London across the board? Anthony Palliser: Well, there’s a takeover by Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst — two galleries are running the world at the moment. There’s no one center. There are centers of money, you’re quite right. And at the moment the center is New York/London. It’s amazing, the empire of money, these tens of millions of dollars in the art world. At the recent Damien Hirst sale, he personally made 200 million pounds. If you think of what’s hap-
cally let alone artistically. It was a great adventure. How many of your famous “Big Heads” will be at the show? Anthony Palliser: I’ve painted about 16 in all, and that’s it, I’m finished. Ten will be at the show. You once told me you had an epiphany of sorts about a painter needing to know when to put down the brush. Anthony Palliser: It’s where mystery returns. What I used to do is go on until I couldn’t go any further, and a lot of that was technical. One day I realized the painting was much, much better long before I wrecked it by finishing it (laughs). In other words, finishing it, meaning making it realistically and technically finished. I firmly believe that painting should never be descriptive, and should always be evocative — like poetry rather than prose. The visual manifestation of that came together with the Big Heads. The fact of using great sweeps of plasterlike paint, there was no need to finish it. That suddenly screamed at me, rather
than suggest itself, with the Big Heads. I realized I was able to go beyond portraiture completely and just deal with paint and human beings. I’m very insistent that the humanity come out. That’s why I insist that the subjects not wear any earrings or makeup or jewelry or whatever. And certainly not a coat and tie, or spectacles. It’s really the raw product. Kristin Scott-Thomas got that without my even saying anything. Diane was horrified. She arrived on a bike with an old T-shirt, hair not brushed, and not a drop of makeup. That was exactly what I wanted. The word “epiphany” is definitely appropriate. There’s a thin line between complacency and keen observation, and I don’t always get it right. Your show at the Jepson, which features many portraits of famous actors and actresses, is basically concurrent with the Film Festival. Intentional? Anthony Palliser: I urged them to consider it, not only to promote the show but the museum. People who turn up for the Film Festival need things to

do, don’t they? You can’t just go to films all the time. Hopefully people will go to the Jepson Center, which they maybe would not have done if this show was not there. It might egg them on a bit. You work mainly from photos of your subjects. Anthony Palliser: Almost exclusively. Many paintings done from photos are so hyper-realistic that I’d rather just see the photo. Your work is different. Anthony Palliser: I went to see David Hockney in his studio in L.A. when he was working a lot on the idea of projected images. He was saying that when painting was pronounced in danger of dying in the 19th century, when photography was invented, there was a whole long period when people said, “We’ll no longer need painters to express portraits because we have photographs.” And the machine was talking over the human hand. The huge irony now is that the human hand has reentered photography, in the sense that just about all photographs are Photoshopped. Reality is again tampered with. He said, ‘The human hand is back, and it didn’t take long.” Which I think is rather lovely. That doesn’t fully explain your preference to work from photos. Anthony Palliser: I think that some painters are interested in how we see things. But I am most interested in what I see. That means I’m not going to alter the reality I see. I will try and transcend it.
For me the photograph is really like a sketch. I very rarely work from photographs that I haven’t taken. When I’m doing a portrait, I really do take tons of photos. All the time I’m looking for something about them I recognize. The end of any portrait is memory. No photo can help you at the end. Think of the difference between your favorite photograph of yourself and your photo in your passport. They’re both lies. The one you like is only partly you, and your passport photo is really nothing like you, it just describes your features for the Customs officer. I also get a real kick when if I suddenly see something, I can rush off and get my camera. I’m sure Titian would have used a camera all the time if he’d had one. In fact, most of the great artists used a form of lens or another. They projected through a camera obscura, which was just a predecessor of film photography. The purist says you should never use a photo. Well, let them go on painting that safe sort of 19th century stuff. That drives me crazy. You should use everything you want to use. What’s essential is the result. cs ‘Palliser’ When and Where: Oct. 16-Jan. 28 at the Jepson Center for the Arts. October 22, at 6 p.m. Palliser speaks at the Telfair Academy Guild Lecture Series, with a members’ Opening Reception to follow. Info: telfair.org

Body of Lies
Body of Lies serves up the superstar teaming of Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe, but it’s the pairing of DiCaprio and the relatively unknown Mark Strong which provides the fireworks in this latest attempt to make a successful motion picture set in the Middle East. Certainly, Crowe proves to be reliable in his role as Ed Hoffman, a ruthless CIA officer who masterminds Middle East operations from his comfy spot back in the USA. Yet despite Crowe’s shared marquee billing, this is really DiCaprio’s film, as he handles the part of Roger Ferris, Hoffman’s compassionate point man. Hoping to track down a bin Laden-like terrorist (a menacing Alon Aboutboul) responsible for a series of attacks on America and its allies, Ferris ends up traveling to Jordan and entering into a terse relationship with Hani Salaam (Strong), the head of Jordanian intelligence. Hani is a fascinating character: Smooth and shrewd, he appears more at home wooing a foreign blonde at a
swanky nightclub than overseeing the torture of an enemy combatant. Yet he’s more aware than the American agents of the best way to run antiterrorist operations. Better than the majority of the post-9/11 terrorist yarns, Body of Lies is both more ambiguous and ambitious than such duds as Rendition and Redacted. Director Ridley Scott (who last teamed with Crowe on American Gangster) and The Departed’s Oscar-winning screenwriter William Monaghan refrain from merely putting Ferris and Hoffman through the good-cop-bad-cop routine: Ferris’ idealism isn’t always beneficial, while Hoffman might be a prick, but he occasionally exhibits more clarity than might be expected.

The Express
Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist
Like most real-life sports stories co-opted by major Hollywood studios (The Rookie, Miracle, Remember the Titans), The Express strips the achievements of any individuality or historical worth and renders them all part of the same gumbo of sticky clichés. Here, the story sanitized to the point of worthlessness is that of Ernie Davis (Rob Brown), who became the first African-American player to win college football’s Heisman Trophy, only to helplessly stand by as personal tragedy derailed his plans to become an NFL superstar opposite his idol, Cleveland Browns legend Jim Brown. It’s a heartrending tale, yet as presented here, it doesn’t even begin to compete with the classic 70s TV movie Brian’s Song, the ultimate in sports weepies and, it must be said, a film that itself no longer retains its original punch. The life of Ernie Davis has been robbed of its vibrancy, and as blandly and beatifically played by Brown, the character never registers as anything more than a walking sliver of American history.
Nick and Nora (no “h”) were the sophisticated sleuths played by William Powell and Myrna Loy in the wildly popular The Thin Man movies in the 1930s and ‘40s, and this married team never encountered a criminal they couldn’t bring to justice. By contrast, the Nick and Norah in this new feature are vanquished by the piece’s villains, eventually revealed to be director Peter Sollet and scripter Lorene Scafari. Michael Cera stars as Nick, a high school rock’n’roller dismayed that he’s been dumped by Tris (Alexis Dziena), the sort of vapid princess who in real life wouldn’t give someone like Nick the time of day. Tris’ pal Norah (Kat Dennings) ends up meeting Nick, not initially realizing that he’s the ex who’s been making all these great CD mixes for an unappreciative Tris. One thing leads to another, and Nick and Norah end up spending an entire after-hours session combing New York for both Norah’s drunken friend Caroline (Ari Graynor) and a secret jam session by

the city’s latest “It” band, Where’s Fluffy. For a film set amidst the hustle and bustle of late-night NYC, this is one lethargic picture.
BLINDNESS 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 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.
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. The coastal-Carolina-shot Rodanthe starts off well as Tuscan Sun’s more serious-minded cousin, but it eventually sinks under the weight of shameless plot devices. Lane, teaming with Richard Gere for the third time (following 1984’s The Cotton Club and 2002’s Unfaithful, the latter for which she earned a Best Actress Oscar nomination), plays Adrienne Willis, who agrees to look after her best friend’s continues on p. 32

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. 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.

Film: The Wind that Shakes the Barley
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, 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.

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 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. cs

Personal Money Management
Aries
March 21-April 19 “Sometimes the fastest way to get there/ is to go slow,” sings Tina Dico in her song “Count to Ten.” “Sometimes if you want to hold on/ you’ve got to let go.” That’s a ripe oracle for you to meditate on, Aries. As you explore the nuances of its meaning, you may discover secrets about how life is always working behind the scenes to balance things out. You might also see that going to any extreme will often attract the opposite extreme into your life; an excess of yang can lead to yin, and vice versa.
TAURUS
April 20-May 20 I usually don’t have to tell you Bulls how important it is to finish what you’ve started. You are, after all, among the top three signs of the zodiac when it comes to following through. But just in case you’ve momentarily fallen under the sway of a delusion that would encourage you to escape before the resolution is fully in place, I’m here to remind you: It’s time to make the art of completion your graceful obsession.
GEMINI
May 21-June 20 Who are the best enemies we have ever had? According to David Brown in the *Washington Post,* they are the thousands of endogenous retroviruses that attacked our ancestors for millions of years. In response to their evil invasions, we humans have had to build our rough, tough immune system, which is one of the most amazing creations on the planet. Let’s make this your inspirational metaphor for the coming weeks, Gemini. I urge you to welcome the opportunities that your adversaries are going to give you to grow bigger, stronger, and more beautiful.
CANCER
June 21-July 22 Sometimes it makes sense for you to be conservative and cautious and skeptical of novelty. A periodic immersion in the slow-motion approach helps you maintain a strong center of gravity and allows you to be true to yourself in the face of the pressure you get to be like everyone else. The past few weeks have been such a time for you, Cancerian. Soon, though, you’ll
begin to feel urges to take some risks, instigate fresh trends, and express yourself with more daring and expansiveness. Are you game?
LEO
July 23-Aug. 22 Futurists predict that in 30 years many of us will have robots as our best friends. But I believe it’s already the case that machines are our boon companions. You may not have a name for your computer or iPhone, but you interact with it as if it were an animate and intimate assistant. Music or TV or talk radio might be turned on in your home around the clock, providing a constant flow of comforting noise. I know people who derive a sense of coziness from the hum of the refrigerator or the rumble blowing through the heating vents. Have you ever talked to your car? Kicked a temperamental appliance? Used a sex toy? This is the best week ever for you to acknowledge your symbiosis with the alien life forms we depend on. Now go kiss your laptop. Caress your toaster.
VIRGO
Aug. 23-Sept. 22 “If you could ask everyone you met one question, what would it be?” A reader named Ty Sassaman emailed me with that query. As I thought about what my response would be, I considered questions like “What’s the one thing you most want to accomplish before you die many years from now?” or “What could you do to bring more intelligence into the way you love?” But ultimately I decided on “What is your soul’s code?” How about you, Virgo? What would be your prime question? I suggest that in the coming days you ask it of everyone you encounter. You’re in a phase in your astrological cycle when focused curiosity is a kind of superpower.
LIBRA
Sept. 23-Oct. 22 Describing the poet Kenneth Koch, his colleague John Ashbery said that his work “gives you the impression that you are leading an interesting life; going to parties and meeting interesting people, falling in love, going for rides in the country and to public swimming pools, eating in the best restaurants and going to movies and the theater in the afternoons. By comparison,
most other modern poetry makes me feel as if I were living in a small Midwestern university town.” In the coming weeks, Libra, I exhort you to have an impact on people that’s like Koch’s poetry. Here’s the best way to do that: Live the most interesting and imaginative life you can dream up.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23-Nov. 21 If you’re a left-winger, you may think right-wingers are stupid or evil or both. If you’re a rightwinger, you probably hold the same attitudes about left-wingers. A similar pattern prevails between most other groups that hold opposing views. You’re a rare person if you’ve never looked at a certain group of people and thought to yourself, “They are all sick idiots.” But in the coming week, Scorpio, I’m asking you to find out what it’s like to dispense with judgments like that. In fact, try living without any scapegoats whatsoever. If even for an hour per day, visualize the possibility that those with whom you disagree might be sincere and well-meaning. I’m not suggesting this exercise merely because it’s a nice thing to do. It will also have the magical effect of giving you access to parts of your own intelligence that have been closed off to you.
SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21
“Be humble for you are made of dung,” says a Serbian proverb. “Be noble for you are made of stars.” I expect that you’ll soon be getting vivid evidence of that truth, Sagittarius. Your challenge will be to resist the temptation to believe that you’re more dung than stars, or more stars than dung. That might be hard, given the fact that practically everyone around you believes they are one or the other. But I promise you that you have the power to do it. You can exude cheerful equanimity while dwelling right at the crux of the paradox.
CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19
Describing a Jupiter transit, Capricorn astrologer Steven Forrest wrote, “Life is a train wreck, except the trains are made of cake and ice cream.” Amen to that, bro. I’d add that a Jupiter transit might also
be imagined as being on the verge of too many orgasms, or getting forced to make a painful choice between fantastic wealth and amazing power, or having wellmeaning allies overwhelm you with help. Now, as you enter the last 12 weeks of Jupiter’s year-long journey through your astrological house of beginnings, I’m expecting you to harvest some of the most delightful and enriching “messes” ever.
AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18
In a recent horoscope, I urged people to convince everyone around them to take more responsibility and be more accountable. In response, a reader named Rene wrote, “I can’t think of ANYTHING more futile! Convincing other people to be anything other than the way they are is a misguided and losing proposition. Unless people have hired you as their therapist, or adopted you as their guru, they are not likely to take your opinions about their behavior seriously.” Rene did acknowledge that it’s possible to subtly inspire people by being a stirring example of the behavior you’d like to see in them. Since I think her observations are not only wise but also pertinent to your current situation, I’m passing them on to you.
PISCES
Feb. 19-March 20 In medieval Europe, more resources and human ingenuity were lavished upon cathedrals and churches than on any other buildings. In the last hundred years, the emphasis has been different, having switched to the towering structures that house institutions dedicated to commerce. By that measure, Money is a far more important God than God. During the next few weeks, Pisces, I invite you to buck the modern trend. As an experiment, see if you can devote at least one more percent of your energy and intelligence to matters of the spirit and soul than to the demands of the material realm. I suspect you’ll find, ironically, that this will lead to an increase of your mastery over the material realm.
