women of wisdom
Authors awaken the fire within

BY OLIVIA POOL
Special to The Post and Courier
Redvolutions don’t just begin on their own. They are usually spurred and herded by a special breed of Spiritual Cowgirls. “More and more women are waking to what they are called to on the deepest levels and willing to be catalysts to create a more conscious world,” says Carolyn Rivers, director and founder of The Sophia Institute, a national organization based in Charleston. The institute’s mission is to provide “leading-edge programs taught by the world’s foremost thinkers and teachers that foster wisdom, wholeness, oneness, sustainability, peace and the integration of the sacred feminine and masculine for the transformation of self and society.” With names such as Sue Monk Kidd, Jean Houston and Marianne Williamson on its boards, people come from all over the country for workshops and programs. This weekend marks the first major gathering in the Southeast of women who are concerned about the state of the world and who feel that

The cost for the weekend is $395 and the cost to attend Sera Beak’s talk at 8 p.m. tonight is $20 in advance, $30 at the door. Friday night’s talk by Sue Monk Kidd and Ann Kidd Taylor is $30 in advance, $40 at the door. Beak’s conversation will take place at 103 Logan Street, immediately after the RealEyes art show (also part of the Women of Wisdom weekend) taking place from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. this evening.

lasting change to pressing environmental and social challenges begins with the individual and then expands into the world. This gathering, called “Women of Wisdom: Transforming Our Lives, Transforming Our World,” will be an intensive weekend-long event in which female participants will spend significant quality time working directly with some of the nations biggest names (Kidd and Houston will be there) to better their lives and the lives of those around them. In addition to the workshops, the gathering also will feature two “Big Conversations”: “Soul Fire: A Talk and Conversation With Sera Beak About the Feminine Divine” and “The Genius of Women: A Conversation With Sue Monk Kidd and Ann Kidd Taylor about the Power of Women to Change the World.” We roped Spiritual Cow-
girl, Harvard-trained religious scholar, world traveler, author and Redvolutionary Beak into sharing some thoughts with us. Beak has started a veritable Redvolution, a term she coined through her book, “The Red Book” and various talks all over the country. What is a Redvolutionary? “Someone who does not play by the social, religious, cultural, sexual or political rules. She champions change by daring to be herself, forging a new path and serving her planet through “ecstatic activism.” She’s a kind of “spiritual superheroine” who rebels against dogma and ideology. “The Red Book” takes ancient spiritual concepts and stories and puts them in terms a modern young person can embrace, seeking to bring new life, energy, and respect toward spirituality. Beak is finishing up her new book, “Redvolution:
Unleashing the Red Hot and Holy Feminine.” She also has been working on a film called “Redvolution: Dare to Disturb the Universe,” which features 10 women under 40 who are seen as positive, creative spiritual superheroines. Both the book and the film are due out in the spring. Although she lives in San Francisco, Beak has had a connection to Charleston for years. She grew up vacationing in Kiawah and now her parents and sister live here permanently. She referred to Charleston as a “second home” and is excited that the Sophia Institute is doing such amazing, spiritually conscious things here. Check out www.serabeak. com to learn more about this Spiritual Cowgirl. Better yet, come ignite your own divine spark when you come meet her in person tonight.

Throughout the evening, live projections will be provided by Open Dome’s VJ Soup, along with DJ sets by Bhakti and Curfew. Beginning at 10 p.m. live music will be presented by The Key of Q.

As you can tell by this jam-packed issue, there’s a lot going on in Charleston. I would like to personally invite you to yet another event — my poetry show Friday. I truly feel the reason I have this job is because I am in tune with my creative spirit. I’ve been aware of it, and it’s been alive in me from a very early age. Writing and performing poetry is how I feel the closest to “home” — the closest to who I am, at my core. On Friday, from 6-7 p.m. at Gallery Chuma (43 John St.), I’ll be performing with drummer Stuart White. There will be new poems, and a lot of surprises. Oh, and it’s free. I’d like to thank the MOJA Festival for having me again. And I would love to see all of you there!
The Black Blizzard
9 P.M. SATURDAY // JIMBOS ROCK LOUNGE, 1662 SAVANNAH HWY. The Black Blizzard formed two years ago when Seth Corts (drums) and Nick “Sonic” Bowman (guitar) joined forces after a Pinback concert at the Music Farm. Bowman used to frequent the record store where Corts worked and they shared an affinity for similar albums and bands. The band started out as a side project, which Corts says “really came together because I loved watching Bowman freak out while playing guitar. I would go crazy on the drums and he would always one up me. It was pure, visceral, unadulterated music. We were just trying to have fun and make music we would enjoy.” See the band in its debut show at 9 p.m. Oct. 2 with The Shaniqua Brown at Jimbos Rock Lounge, 1662 Savannah Hwy. Admission is $5 at the door.
I’ll give you 20% of my commission as a Home Buyer’s Rebate!

Polo, Latin Fest and more
Polo at Hyde Park
Efforts to re-establish polo in the Lowcountry have come and gone in recent years, but Amy Flowers is hoping that creating a permanent, dedicated home for the sport will give it a chance to root here. Flowers, a 41-year-old mother of two and avid polo player, built Hyde Park Farm and Polo Club on a 380-acre farm in Ravenel that she inherited from her grandfather. The land has been in the family since 1896. Her goal with the club is to have the “most fun polo club in the Southeast.” And while regularly scheduled polo matches won’t take place until next year, the public will get a chance to see the club in-person on Sunday afternoon for the “Fall Picnic and Polo” exhibition match between Hyde Park Polo Club and High Cotton. Gates open at 1 p.m. and the match begins at 3
p.m. The fee is $10 per vehicle. A portion of the proceeds will go to Debi’s Kids and the Salvation Army Angel Tree, local charities providing Christmas toys to underprivileged local children. Spectators are encouraged to pack a picnic, blanket or folding chairs for seating, and enjoy an afternoon at the farm. Hyde Park is at 6763 Davis Road in Ravenel. More at www.hydeparkpoloclub. com.

George Duke wears many hats in the jazz business.
‘A
new broom sweeps clean but an old broom knows the
corners.” So said my sainted mother to me, time and time again. It’s probably not exclusive to her but she spoke many times with colloquialisms like that, with eloquence, wit and wisdom. The point is simple but sage.
New is good. A breath of fresh air never hurt any-
thing. A cleansing breeze, though, doesn’t blow away the foundation of what was already there. A good, stiff, new broom is sure to whisk away unwanted residue. However, the worn, bent, old broom gets into the corner — figuratively, the heart of things — like the new broom never could. (It’s literally true, too. My
mother had me sweep many a room growing up.) During a recent conversation with one of my favorite musicians, I was reminded of that venerable household implement in its new and old variations. I was in telephone conversation last week with George Duke, a longtime popular Please see JAZZ, Page 10E

jazz performer/composer/ producer, from the West Coast. Duke was in the middle of the contemporary, jazzbased fusion music of the 1970s. I was one of his biggest fans. His keyboard playing, compositions and arrangements were clean and fresh sounding, full of funk with a good-time feel that was irresistible to me and a whole lot of other people who went to his concerts and bought his records. I’ll get a chance to hear him live again when he comes to the North Charleston Performing Arts Center for an 8 p.m. show on Oct. 15 under the banner of Tammy Greene’s Lowcountry Jazz Festival, now in its second year of marketing contemporary jazz in the Carolinas. Tickets are $39 and $34 plus applicable fees at ticketmaster.com. As I’ve said in this space before, one of the cool things about what I do is that I get to talk to people like Duke. His is a voice that comes from a place that fosters science, religion and art. He speaks with reason. He believes in what he’s doing. He’s developed his own voice with regard to how he conveys to the rest of us what he and his art are all about. He speaks, and performs, with a moral authority that can only come from a long span of experience and the things it teaches. Authoritative. Duke has played with as many other artists as anyone. They include Julian “Cannonball” Adderly, Quincy Jones, Nancy Wilson, Frank Zappa, Raul De Souza, Barry Manilow, Dizzy Gillespie, A Taste of Honey and Dianne Reeves, whom he discovered. He said in our talk that he once coined the phrase “multi-stylistic” to describe his music. For him now, the food metaphor for his sound is gumbo.
George Duke’s “Deja Vu” is published by the Concord Music Group His latest recording project is “Deja Vu” on the Concord label. “It’s a look back,” he told me. “What goes around comes around.” There goes another one of those sayings. Maybe he first heard it from his mother, too. Duke is 64. I’m soon to be 63. He went on, talking about the record and what he’ll play in Charleston, “I’m revisiting styles and instruments I used back in the day, like an analogue synthesizer where you can play only one note at a time. They cough and sputter but they have a vibe you can’t get with a digital synthesizer. “Rather than doing a retrospective, I’m doing old songs in a new context. I’m not going to rehash what’s been done.” Duke says of the current cultural climate that we’re in a musical recession, just like the economy. “One thing for sure, music has become more conservative. It’s just that musicians today, many of them, are afraid to take chances.” He added that the recording industry and music outlets aren’t progressive, either. “Just like the record companies are afraid to spend money, musicians only play
things that might get heard on the radio, trying to get over without making people upset. It’s a conservative time. “The point is that back in the ’60s and ’70s many musicians were really experimenting. I played dates when rock musicians said ‘come play with me.’ For instance, musicians combined folk with jazz and Brazilian music with jazz. There was a lot of crossover. “They created a dynamic that just doesn’t exist today. There were a lot of jam sessions in those days. That’s how the music grew. The record companies supported more experimentation. They were the bank. Now, they don’t lend as much. Labels don’t spend as much.” Duke and his career are a good example of the fact that jazz represents the ebb and flow of American culture as fundamentally as any other art form. With visions like Duke’s, jazz helps to improve things, too. Jazz uses new and old brooms. Jack McCray, author of “Charleston Jazz,” can be reached at jackjmccray@aol. com.

Recognize the power of women
Thumbs up
Some of the coolest happenings last week centered on talented Lowcountry women. First and foremost, who has seen the new video by local singer/songwriter extraordinaire Cary Ann Hearst? If you haven’t, check it out at myspace.com/caryannhearst, and man, is this thing good. Hearst received national exposure in July when her song “Hells Bells” (not to be confused with the AC/DC tune) was played during the closing credits of HBO’s popular series “True Blood.” The video for that song was produced in Los Angeles in July and features collaborator/husband Michael Trent, as he and Hearst weave a dark tale of good love gone wrong. This extremely well-done video should be on MTV or whatever channel actually shows music videos these days, if there are any. Regardless, congratulations to Cary Ann Hearst on her most recent and spectacular work. I had the pleasure of attending my first local rollerderby event last weekend as the Lowcountry Highrollers presented their last home bout of the season dubbed “Southern Hostility.” These ladies don’t mess around, and bump, bash and bruise like nobody’s business. It took a second to grasp the concept of the bouts and the rules, but most of those who nearly filled McAlister Field House on Sunday knew exactly what was going on, enthusiastically cheering their

The Lowcountry High Rollers played their last home bout last Sunday. Stay tuned to lowcountryhighrollers.com for more information on what’s next for the team. favorite teams and players. If you haven’t experienced it, roller derby is an ideal family outing, not to mention affordable. Last but not least, after witnessing yet another show by local rock band The Shaniqua Brown (Tin Roof in West Ashley last Saturday), singer Rachel Gillon just might be the best frontman (frontwoman? frontperson? What’s the politically correct term here?) in the Lowcountry. She wails, owns the stage and commands attention. The rest of the band ain’t shabby either, and with Gillon at the helm, The Shaniqua Brown could really be going places.
Thumbs Down
Sometimes perseverance or hard work goes unrecognized and it’s a shame. Cary Ann Hearst is a music veteran at this point, and given her great voice, songwriting ability and overall superior
talent, she should be one of the biggest names in the altcountry/Americana genre. Maybe the recent national exposure and new video is a turning point to bigger and better things. Hearst’s endurance reflects her passion for her craft and she deserves any luck that comes her way. Also, I don’t know if most people, including me before I went to see them, comprehend the training and hard work roller-derby girls put into their craft. These women are intense. While I’m sure many have their sugar and spice side, roller derby is tough stuff, and the wear and tear they put on their bodies is likely no small sacrifice. The Lowcountry Highrollers’ next home event will be in January. I encourage you to check it out for yourself, not only because it’s a good time but to give props to these underrecognized women athletes.
Concert Association opens season Saturday
Staff report
Five siblings, all Juilliard graduates. Five concert Steinway grand pianos. Fifty flailing fingers. That’s what audiences will get at the Charleston Concert Association’s 75th anniversary season opener on Saturday at the Gaillard Municipal Auditorium. The 5 Browns — Ryan, Melody, Gregory, Deondra and Desirae — come from a musical Mormon family. They have made numerous television and radio appearances and garnered much attention for their efforts to share their enthusiasm for classical music with audiences far and wide. The siblings all attended the famed Juilliard School in New York City simultaneously. As exclusive Steinway artists, they travel with grand pianos in tow. Saturday’s program includes a mix of classical and
popular music, including an abbreviated version of Gustav Holst’s “The Planets,” a Rachmaninov prelude and Liszt rhapsody, music from the Baroque period and a “Star Wars” suite arranged by collaborator Greg Anderson. The 5 Browns have released three CDs and have been featured in a new PBS TV concert special. They have attracted the attention of composers, including Nico Muhly, who wrote a piece for five pianos and
orchestra that will premiere at the Ravinia Festival next summer with the siblings and Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by James Conlon. Tickets for Saturday’s concert at the Gaillard are $16-$68, available at the box office or at www.ticketmaster.com. Visit www. the5browns.com for information about the group.

Hollie Wood
style in Charleston
If
you’ve been to Love Me Again, the vintage store on Coming Street owned by Jenny Nelson, then you’ve probably fallen hard for at least one piece of jewelry on display there. Curated by Hollie Wood, the collection is made up of quality pieces with an eye toward detail and interesting design elements. Pieces such as the sweet little gold ring with a delicate amethyst and diamond flower that I literally haven’t taken off since buying it. A passionate collector of vintage, Wood grew up in Chapin and came to Charleston six years ago to finish her teaching degree program. The combination of the city’s rich history and numerous beaches convinced her to stay. Throughout a career in teaching and working in retail, Wood’s first love always has been collecting, which she calls the “central theme” in her life. It started with Native American hand-wrought jewelry. “From there, I began collecting handmade Mexican sterling jewelry from the 1930s. As my taste evolved, the quality and unique styles of vin-
tage jewelry merged with my love of the handmade.” In college, she started selling pieces from her personal collection when other girls started noticing her vintage style, and the business had grown from there. Asked where she find pieces, she says, “I find pieces wherever I may be at the moment. Charleston, Europe, Chapin, Texas, Georgia, Vermont ...” I wondered if she was ever tempted to keep items for herself, and she replied enthusiastically, “Oh yes! There are many items that I would like to keep for my personal collection, but each piece has a history, tradition and value greater than just money. The pieces I sell are very unique and rare and I enjoy finding them a very good home.” For the beginner collector, she advises to look at how a piece is made, saying that “quality pieces should consist of glass beads, copper, real gold and real silver.” For cleaning, Wood recommends Wright’s silver polish for silver and gently brushing rhinestones with a soft toothbrush in warm, soapy water. After a lifetime of collecting jewelry, I had to find out what were some of her favorite pieces. The list included all of her Navajo jewelry as well as some Victorian and Bakelite, among others. In addition to collecting jewelry, Wood loves vintage interiors, and she’s working on a book about the subject.

Hollie Wood’s website is www.holliewoodstyle.tumblr.com. The jewelry can be found at Love Me Again, 183 Coming St.

Emma Stone propels ‘Easy A’ into one of the best of 2010
L
ast weekend, a friend talked me into seeing the chick flick “Easy A,” which was released in movie theaters two weeks ago. I expected to enjoy the movie a little — not a lot. But I’m happy to report that the light comedy was pretty entertaining. A modernized twist on “The Scarlet Letter,” “Easy A” follows Emma Stone as Olive, a high school student whose lies about her dating experiences turn into a disastrous high school experience. As seen in the previews, she ends up attaching a scarlet letter “A” to her clothing to embrace the high school rumor mill. Things, of course, get out of hand, and Olive tries to counter the nasty gossip. But where “Easy A” could have been predictably lame, it was clever and funny. I was skeptical about “Easy A” being worth a trip to the movies. But besides having a strong cast, the movie was witty and fairly fast-paced for a teen comedy. And “Easy A” was just simple fun. At least for me, it seems a lot of the movies that I check out in the theater instead of waiting for the DVD to come out are a

Dead Confederate Opening for Widespread Panic
When Dead Confederate released its full-length debut, “Wrecking Ball,” in 2008, it was as if music critics around the country had been given their first breath since the wane of ’90s grunge. “Wrecking Ball” had critics from notable publications such as The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Spin, NPR and New York Post all gushing about the Athens, Ga.-based quintet. Now, with the release of its new album, “Sugar,” Dead Confederate continues to stand as a grungy figure of things to come. Dead Confederate will help open Widespread Panic’s show Saturday at the North Charleston Coliseum. Yonder Mountain String Band, The Movement and local rock trio Leslie also are slated to perform.

Angie Aparo
For Angie Aparo, independence always has been his success. Since 1996, the experimental rock master has been creating music on his own terms. Even after signing to Arista Records in 1999, Aparo began to grow restless with the artistic confinements of a big label. The pull of being an independent artist again reached its breaking point in 2002 when Aparo decided that his creativity had Boombox suffered enough.

Although Labelle has sold more than 50 million records worldwide with hits including “New Attitude,” “Stir It Up” and “On My Own,” you still might need a little diva education. The following are 10 essential Labelle facts: ◗ Labelle was Lady Marmalade long before Christina Aguilera. It was Labelle’s break-out hit. Aguilera’s was the remake. ◗ And on that note, Aguilera doesn’t have anything on Labelle as far as costumes go.

The Lucky Tomblin Band HONKY TONK MERRY GO ROUND (Texas World)
Anyone who loves the twangy sound of Texas country dancehall music is probably already familiar with the music of the Lucky Tomblin Band. “Honky Tonk Merry Go Round” is the band’s fourth release. And for folks interested in a little bit of Texas two-stepping, or even those just looking to kick back and relax with some quality, old-school country music will love just about every one of the 14 tracks on the CD. Part of the formula for the success of the band is the fact that leader Lucky Tomblin has surrounded himself with some of Austin’s finest musicians, including pianist Earl Poole Ball; guitarist Redd Volkaert, John Reed and Bobby Arnold; bassist Sarah Brown; and drummer Jon Hahn. Even the album’s producer, Lloyd Maines (father of the Dixie Chicks’ Natalie Maines), gets into the act with his pedal steel guitar. The resulting music is a joy to hear. Song titles such as “She Loves Anything That Swings” and “Get a Little Goner” demonstrate the lighter side of the band’s personality. But there are tunes that tug at your heart, most notably “I’d Rather You Didn’t Love Me.” If honky tonk music is your thing, then the Lucky Tomblin Band will be right up your alley. KEY TRACKS: “Honky Tonk Merry Go Round,” “She Loves Anything That Swings,” “Hello Heart”

Claude Hay DEEP FRIED SATISFIED (Ingot Rock)
When you first hear Claude Hay’s roots and blues music sound, you’re bound to think to yourself what a great-sounding American singer-songwriter he is. When you find out that Hay actually hails from Australia, you probably won’t feel too surprised. After all, the Aussies are just as in love with roots music as we are here in the States. Hay is an independent artist. He builds his own instruments and has customized his tour van to include a recording studio, and when he performs live, he acts as his own band. If that sounds a bit strange, then understand that, much like American artist Keller Williams, Hay uses loop pedals to play multiple instruments, making it sound as if there were a full band onstage. If his latest album, “Deep Fried Satisfied,” gives any hint as to the quality of his live act, then Hay definitely will warrant a gander should he ever perform locally. High-energy tracks such as “Get Me Some” and “On Hold” will get anyone with a pulse fired up, as will the down-home cover of Queen’s “We Will Rock You,” which all but reimagines that classic rock track. This is definitely one instance where the album’s title accurately reflects the feeling you’ll get while listening. KEY TRACKS: “Get Me Some,” “On Hold,” “We Will Rock You”

The Roots and John Legend WAKE UP! (Columbia)
When The Roots released their excellent album, “How I Got Over,” earlier this year, some of the best moments came with the two tracks that the band recorded with guest vocalist John Legend. Hearing Legend and The Roots perform together, more than a few fans of both acts wanted to see them collaborate again. As it turns out, those two songs were not all The Roots and Legend had up their collective sleeve. “Wake Up!” features a dozen tracks with Legend backed by The Roots, although “backed” is probably the wrong term to use here, since all artists involved seem to be giving one another equal billing. With musicians as accomplished as they are, not surprisingly the music is excellent. All but one of the tracks are covers, the lone exception being the Legend composition “Shine.” The music is a heady mix of gospel, reggae, soul, rock and hip-hop. Some of the tracks might be familiar to most, such as Marvin Gaye’s “Wholly Holy” and Donny Hathaway’s “Little Ghetto Boy.” There are also hidden gems that might sound new to most, including Mike James Kirkland’s “Hang on in There” and the smoking version of Baby Huey and the Babysitter’s “Hard Times” that kicks off the CD. Legend’s vocals are beautifully supported by The Roots’ superb musicianship, including several rap performances by Roots member Black Thought. All of the songs have some degree of social commentary about the state of things in the world these days, but the prevailing message thankfully doesn’t overpower the enjoyment of the music. It is always a welcome thing when a respected artist releases one quality album. In the case of The Roots and John Legend, 2010 saw them tossing out two spectacular collaborations for our consumption. KEY TRACKS: “Hard Times,” “Compared To What,” “Humanity (Love the Way It Should Be)”

Doug Walters VAGABOND (Independent)
Local artist Doug Walters is the definition of the word prolific. In addition to playing in several bands around town, Walters also writes, records and performs his own music, and in the process has developed sort of an alter-ego whose dark side is exhibited when Walters cranks up one of his acts, Torture Town. “Vagabond,” Walter’s latest independent release, goes a different route; almost all of the tracks are instrumentals. The CD begins with “Nadine,” in which Walters speaks to a lost love about the time they shared, and the car they shared it in. Most of the remaining tracks are lushly arranged and sound like the soundtrack to some sweeping epic set somewhere in the American Midwest. Well, at least that is what it sounded like to me. Walters is a gifted musician who knows when too much is too much, and as a result, the music here benefits from its sound, which isn’t simple, but nonetheless exhibits a lovely stark quality. If the band thing ultimately doesn’t work out, Walters should seriously explore scoring film and television. KEY TRACKS: “Little Ava,” “Mineral Piracy,” “Magnolia Road Blues”

50 artists show in RealEyes exhibit BY OLIVIA POOL

ision. It is much more than just what we see. For what we see effects how we see. And not just in that moment, but far into the future. The Sophia Institute invited artists to create: to make a ‘what’ we see that would also show how the ‘what’ we see creates and envisions all that is possible,” explains art advocate and co-organizer Andrea Schenck. Held in conjunction with The Sophia Institute’s “Women of Wisdom: Transforming Our Lives, Transforming Our World” taking place this weekend, the exhibition was inspired by institute founder Carolyn Rivers’ desire for the WOW gathering to include the creativity of the visual arts. Knowing how art inspires and transforms, Rivers imagined the exhibit as an effective catalyst for those participating in WOW and as a way to connect and include the public in the transformative gathering. The RealEyes exhibit opens today 5:30-7:30 p.m. and is free and open to the public. The show, featuring multiple disciplines, medias and styles, thanks to the collaboration of the International African American Museum, will be held at the new IAAM space, 103 Logan St. downtown. (The IAAM is laying the foundation for a future museum.) The title’s double meaning (“RealEyes”) plays with the full circle of perception: from what we can imagine and see in our mind’s eye, through the metamorphosis of creation, to the manifestation of that original vision: to realize it. Participants include well-known local artists Lese Corrigan, Susan Romaine, Arthur MacDonald, Karen Silvestro, and Lisa Shimko and many others — 50 artists and more than a 100 pieces total. Since this is a temporary gallery space, the public may visit this evening during the reception 5:30-7:30 p.m., Friday 1-7 p.m., Sunday 1:30-4 p.m. and Monday-Thursday next week 11 a.m.-2 p.m. or by appointment by calling 240529-7586.

statues were brought over, and they are now being found by the hundreds. They serve no purpose; everyone’s trying to figure out why they exist, but they survived. I wanted my art to be something like that, that you can move around with you.” One scene is double-sided. In “Scale” both a woman and man hold scales. “They’re weighing their hearts against the other.” In “Narcissist” a man stares at his reflection. He’s also made prints of the statues for the more tradi-
tional art collector, but the depth, the detail is not quite the same on canvas. At his solo show on Friday at SCOOP studios, the statues and prints will be for sale, and he’s made sure they’re affordable. “My grandfather died recently, and he was, like me, a craftsman. We went down into his basement, and there’s all this stuff. I don’t want a bunch of stuff around for just me to look at for years. If someone else wants it, they can have it.”

dead Monarch butterfly was on his light table. A whole jar on them on the shelf. “Here’s my net!” local artist Ben Timpson exclaims. He’s known for taking organic found objects and making art: feathers into trees, a woman’s hair out of scrap metal. In response to a question about a list of materials, he asks, “Are you ready to write?” and spouts off turnip, lint, wheat, grasshopper, grape skin, orchid and, not all that surprisingly, beta fish tail. His process started during a “dark time” when he was in the habit of burning his old 35mm film. “I created ‘Goodnight 35,’ ” which is the title of his website and his book, “when photography went from analog and chemical into the digital photo age. I took color theory classes in college, and then the next semester, the class didn’t exist anymore.” Clippings of the old, burned film now make their way into Timpson’s art. One piece of flying blackbirds shows the progression of clarity in photography. His scenes are set into resin disks, which almost look like amber hockey pucks. (“Sometimes I chuck them across the room. You always have to test them.”) And the resin disk is set in stone. Timpson was looking for a way to one, display the resin disks, and two, make his art more archival, so he now drills and sands his scenes into an upright stone base. “All the Venus of Willendorf

O
n Sept. 22, summer officially ended and the fall season began. The first full moon of the fall season is called the harvest moon, and it was the first time since 1991 that the harvest moon was so close to the autumnal equinox. This event will not happen again until 2029. The full moon was the brightest it will be this season; the farmers could harvest into the night by the light of the moon in preparation for the coming winter months. The dancing of leaves, shorter days and the sighting of squash at the farmers market unofficially welcome the change of season. Farmers markets create a relationship with our food and offer the opportunity to make a connection with the farmers who cultivate the land. Shopping at the farmers market keeps more money in the local economy; for every $100 that is spent at a national chain, only $13 stays local. If that $100 were spent at a local store or farmers market, $45 would stay local. Farmers Markets Today magazine did a survey in 2008 and found that 85 percent of farmers drove less than 50 miles to sell their goods to local markets. In contrast, one or two weeks can go by from when food is harvested, processed, packaged and then delivered to a grocery store. Food is most nutritious right after it is harvested; buying your food at the local market gives you healthier options. The Farmers Market Coalition found that, on average, food bought at the farmers market is 20 cents cheaper than at a grocery store.
In October 2009, the USDA had 5,274 farmers markets registered in the United States, up from about 1,200 in 2004. Following the growing trend of farmers markets nationwide, the Charleston area offers at least 10 markets. Here’s a rundown of some of the local farmers markets in our area:
Monday
JOHNS ISLAND: Located at the traffic circle between Kiawah and Seabrook islands is the Freshfields Village Market. This summer market runs June 7 to Aug. 30; vendors sell their goods from 4-8 p.m.
Tuesday
MOUNT PLEASANT: This may be a convenient market to visit on your way home from work. Starting April 13 and running until Oct. 19; vendors set up at 3 p.m. and take down their tents at sundown. The market is at 645 Coleman Blvd., in front of Moultrie Middle School. The town of Mount Pleasant has created a seasonal harvest schedule so you can know when produce will be fresh. Visit www.townofmountpleasant.com.
Wednesday
MONCKS CORNER: Beginning later in the summer season is the Moncks Corner Farmers Market, at Heatley and Gulledge streets, behind the Merchants Bank. From June 19 to Oct. 30, the market runs 8 a.m.-1 p.m. and is held twice a week, on Saturdays and Wednesdays.
Thursday
DANIEL ISLAND: At the Family Circle
Tennis Complex, 161 Seven Farms Drive, farmers and artists sell their products from May 6- Sept. 30. The market begins at 3 p.m. and ends at dusk. GOOSE CREEK: At 519 North Goose Creek Blvd. behind the police department, local vendors interact with the public May 6-Sept. 30. Hours are 3-6 p.m. NORTH CHARLESTON: Select vendors at the Park Circle market accept food stamps. From April 22-Oct. 28, the market begins at noon and ends at 7 p.m.
Friday
DOWNTOWN: The MUSC market consists of a few tents with fresh fruits and vegetables. Locations are at 171 Ashley Ave. in the MUSC Horseshoe and 19 Hagood Ave. in front of the Harborview Office Towers. Hours are 7 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
Saturday/Sunday
DOWNTOWN: Mayor Joe Riley founded the downtown farmers market in 1989; Travel and Leisure Magazine ranked it as the fifth best in the country in 2008. Located at King and Calhoun streets in Marion Square Park, the market runs April 3-Dec. 19. Beginning Dec. 4 for the Holiday Magic Market, vendors will be out Saturday and Sunday until Dec. 19. SUMMERVILLE: Beginning April 3 and remaining open until late fall is the downtown Summerville farmers market. It is at 218 Main St. at First Citizens Bank next to Town Hall. MONCKS CORNER: See description under Wednesday.

The relief of having a spacious restaurant is obvious on the faces of owner Utako Furukawa and her husband. Smiles now replace the furrowed brows. At the first L.T., this dynamic duo seated guests, waited the tables, cooked, served, cashed out and bused the tables. Now there is a staff. Cooks in the kitchen, a young wait staff in the restaurant. Now there is time to Please see RESTAURANT, Page 27E

socialize with the guests: Many regulars (it appeared) from the Summerville location are happy to have a taste of Japan so close to home. Here you will find no circus, no onion volcanoes, no chef’s juggling knives. There are no diversions. The food is not a prop; the chef is not the show. Just Japanese food simply prepared — to order. Our waitress did struggle with English to answer our questions, but she graciously and patiently went back and forth to the kitchen to get the answers. The menu has expanded to include sushi and sashimi; a teishoku menu (an all-inclusive selection) that includes an entree, miso soup, pickle, sashimi, rice and egg custard); and more soba, udon and ramen dishes. The prices for teishoku range from $10.75-$15. The value is excellent and includes grilled yellow tail neck ($12.25) and a lobster tail dinner for $20. The yellow tail neck had all the succulence and richness of smoked sable, and chopsticks are “the” tool you need
to seek out all the pockets of flesh. Mackerel is offered simply grilled ($12.25), and imported sea bass ($15) tops out the high-end combination plates. Sushi ($5-$12) replaced the former salted edamame (salted soybeans) $3 as the go-to appetizer for the guests at the time of our visit. Many of the guests were known to Furukawa. The evening felt like a homecoming; fellowship, laughter and guests preferences quickly coming from the kitchen. The menu has experienced a shift to higher price points from the Summerville location, but considering a four-course dinner can be had for $9.75-$25, the value is exceptional. New to the Goose Creek menu is lobster tail ($9 appetizer; $20 dinner). It is served with an “egg sauce” glaze. Conjure Kewpie-like mayonnaise protecting the tender lobster flesh from the heat of the broiler. It was a tasty and messy beginning. For appetizers, you will find haru maki, the spring rolls ($1.75) borrowed from China; an assortment of tempura, Portugal’s gift to Japan, ($3-$5); gyoza (pot stickers)
prepared steamed, fried or sauteed and tofu ($5). You can still enjoy the squid salad ($3.50), eel don ($9) and slurping bowls of ramen and udon noodle soups ($7.50-$10). With the ramen craze sweeping the country and David Chang’s Momofuku (New York) creating a cult of eating Japanese noodles, I tried the pork ramen ($8). The serving is quite generous and can easily serve two. The broth is full flavored; bones were surely roasted to create its depth of flavor. The elastic ramen noodles were springy to the teeth, and ringlets of scallions and roughly torn seaweed bits added color and dimension. The pork, however, was chewy and flavorless. Here was a bowl that could use pork belly chunks. The best value can be found in the Tokyo ($25). An attractive platter is filled with the broiled lobster tail, chicken and beef yakitori and a colorful pile of vegetable tempura. This entree comes with clear soup, a salad of white cabbage, pieces of orange and cantaloupe (at the times of our visit) and a bowl of steamed rice. The tempura ($4.50) is prepared
to order, served hot and crisp, with its lacy batter veiling the tendersnap of sweet potato, onion, mushroom, zucchini and shrimp. A side of ponzu sauce with its citrus notes is perfect for dipping. Try the kakiage ($5), which is a mixed tempura incorporating strips of vegetables bound together by the glue of the batter. Karaage ($5) (fried chicken in the style of China) is also a good beginning: crisp, crunchy, steaming hot bits of poultry flesh. Kimpira ($3.50) is named after Kinpira, a mythical Japanese hero, and is a vegetable stir-fry using gobu (burdock). A softshell crab appetizer ($5) was served to a neighboring table — a spider of batter-crusted legs and antennae splayed akimbo and quickly eaten with relish. Once a special in Summerville, it has gained menu cred and now appears on the Goose Creek menu as an appetizer. Our server told us it was a frozen crab. We were hoping that the last of the late-season run was being featured that night. No such luck. Little Tokyo does justice to the traditions of Japan with a selection
of tsukemono, pickled vegetables, all for $3, and an important element of a Japanese meal. The soup is classic, made with dashi and kelp and simply garnished with green onion. It is now the darling ingredient of chefs at Per Se and Le Bernardin in New York, embraced in kitchens from Maine to California and used by chef Linton Hopkins in Atlanta (New York Times, Oct. 14, 2008) as a glaze, marinade or seasoning. It is easy to see why: Clean, clear, it smooths out the flavors of your meal. The katsu of chicken and pork ($10.50) are skillfully fried; their panko “bark” crunchy and the viscous tonkatsu sauce (Japan’s answer to Worcestershire) are lightened by a squeeze of fresh lemon. Our meal ended with the sweet finish of fresh orange slices and cantaloupe. Fruit is the preferred end to a Japanese meal, but Little Tokyo also offers banana tempura ($2.75) and green tea, red bean (adzuki) or vanilla ice cream ($1.75). Little Tokyo is a glamour-free zone, but the simple art of Japanese cooking prevails.

Doolittles find niche with pie company BY ELIZABETH BOWERS

L
indsay Doolittle just wanted some pie. “I could never find a place where you could buy pies. Just cakes.” She and husband Brent also wanted something more inventive than just your everyday apple. So 3.14 Pies was born on March 14. (And, “3.14” is a reference to something you should remember from high school math.) “Our Cran-Peary pie was the first pie we ever made together, and I still think it’s the best,” says Lindsay. Their summer menu, complete with the Cran-Peary among other favorites such as the Blackberry Cabernet and Velvet Elvis — vanilla creme, caramelized bananas and peanut butter mousse — gained them popularity. Now they’re baking their favorite things about autumn into their pies. “We love chai lattes in the fall, so we wanted to come up with a way to bake that into the pie. We’ve gone through about 10 to 15 recipes so far, and we’ve almost got it right,” says Lindsay. They’re now splitting their

The pie tasting will be at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Bin 152 Wine Bar, 152 King St. There will be a sample of three pies paired with three wines for $20. To learn more about 3.14 Pies, go to www.facebook.com/314Pies or call 608-8314. They require a 48-hour notice for all orders. Orders may be delivered or picked up by appointment only at 654 King St.
menu into the Downtown Collection, pies with a twist, and the Down Home Collection, classic pies. Nutella made it’s way onto the Downtown menu. Nutell of a Pie is pastry crust with toasted hazelnuts, chocolate ganache, and Nutella mousse. Maple Pumpkin Mascarpone Pie is a light twist on your regular pumpkin (which they also feature on the Down Home menu) and Campfire Pie, a favorite carried over from summer. Fall is the best time for S’Mores, so 3.14’s pie version had to be available. The Down Home Collection makes minute changes to classic recipes. In the pecan pie, the nuts are pralined and the butter browned. The apples are shaved, not cut into chunks. And they bring together to great pairing of chocolate and peanut butter.
On Tuesday, Bin 152 Wine Bar is hosting a pie tasting for 3.14. At 6 p.m., you’ll get a sample of three pies paired with three sparkling wines for $20. On Oct. 28, the Doolittles are teaching a cooking class at Coastal Cupboard. “The class will basically be about how to take a good pie dough and make a lot of dishes out of it. Em-pienadas. An appetizer. Turkey potpie, so people know what to do with all the leftover turkey at Thanksgiving. A quiche. And then sweet pies,” says Lindsay. They say the trick to a good pie is the crust. They spent months perfecting their own recipe, and then finally found Brent’s grandmother’s recipe. The trick is using good ingredients. “Sometimes people just want a good apple pie,” she said.
good friend who works in sports radio sometimes likes to hit happy hour after his show ends around at 6 p.m. “Where are you?” I asked him last week on the phone. He replied “Chili’s.” Chili’s? Yes, arguably one of the better American casual-dining chains is actually not a bad little bar. The North Charleston location (The only other Lowcountry Chili’s is in Summerville.

‘The Social Network’
Addictive film about Facebook creator is one of the best movies of the year BY ROGER MOORE The Orlando Sentinel
M
ark Zuckerberg, the creator of Facebook, is the smartest guy in the room. He used to be the smartest “kid” in the room, though he aged out of that. Kind of. But the questions posited by David Fincher’s brilliant film, “The Social Network,” scripted by the brilliant Aaron Sorkin, is why anyone would want to be that smart, and just what Zuckerberg’s brand of brilliance gets him. The first answer is the same reason guys become athletes or rock stars — to meet women. And the second is more intriguing. Zuckerberg, stunningly interpreted by Jesse Eisenberg, is an unfiltered genius — manic, compulsive, unable to censor an unkind word, unwilling to let go of an idea until he has mastered it, unable to pause even long
movie review ★★★★ 1/2 stars (of 5) CAST: Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Rooney Mara, Justin Timberlake. DIRECTOR: David Fincher. RUNNING TIME: 2 hours. INDUSTRY RATING: PG-13 for sexual content, drug and alcohol use and language. enough for commas when he’s trying to stop his girlfriend (Rooney Mara) from breaking up with him in the film’s killer 5-minute opening scene. As we watch the tale of the founding of Facebook unfold — told through flashbacks at court depositions, Harvard ethics hearings and the like — we feel awful for this
witheringly smart Harvard boy who traffics so easily in the condescending putdown. “Creation myths need a devil,” a sympathetic lawyer assures him. And Eisenberg’s Zuckerberg is just that, a devil obsessed with details and not shy — not in the least — when it comes to anything or anyone that stands in the way of his “cool” idea. Sorkin (“A Few Good Men,” TV’s “The West Wing”) didn’t have to sex up Ben Mezrich’s book about the devious, duplicitous and beer-fueled founding of this runaway social media phenomenon. But he did spice up the snappy patter, giving everybody in this small, elite circle sharp, polished things to say. “That guy doesn’t have three friends to rub together to make a fourth.” As one and all in the story embrace the notion that “get-
ting there first is everything” on the Internet, Sorkin and Fincher (“Zodiac,” “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”) let us get there first from time to time. In midcreation, a friend asks Zuckerberg about a coed he knows and wants to know if she’s seeing anybody. Since he’s decided that “The Facebook,” as it was called back in that snowy winter of 2004, is the ultimate campus social scene, that’s one piece of information the site can’t be without. We’re way ahead of Zuckerberg as he sprints back to his laptop for a tweaking. Andrew Garfield plays Eduardo Saverin, one of the few people to hang with nerdy Zuckerberg at Harvard. Saverin comes from money, has connections and even the possibility of getting into a prestigious “Final Club” on campus. Some day, you figure, Zuckerberg
will make him pay for that. Armie Hammer and Josh Pence (with camera tricks that make Hammer appear as both) are the patrician, old money Winklevoss twins, the rowing team heroes who commission Zuckerberg to build them an “exclusive” Harvard social network site, then “as gentlemen of Harvard” are shocked when he takes their idea, perfects it and launches it on his own. Eisenberg (“Adventureland,” “Zombieland”) cranks up the intensity so much that we almost forget we’re watching an unpleasant variation of the smart kid role he’s played his whole career. With the boyish Garfield cast as the next Spider-Man and Mara as the new “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” someday we’ll look back on “The Social Network” as one of those movies that launched major careers. Justin Timberlake,
playing the sex-and-drugsand-more-sex womanizer and visionary Napster inventor-salesman Sean Parker, may seem a little fey in the role. But that just makes his unisex charm that much more devastating. “Private behavior is a relic of a time gone by,” his Parker preaches, and Zuckerberg listens — enthralled. Revel in Sorkin’s saucy, sarcastic re-creation of a scene in which the privileged Winklevosses try to enlist Larry Summers, the president of Harvard, in their case. And try not to think of these folks and this creation myth as you burn off hours at Zuckerberg’s “freakishly addictive” invention. The performances, direction and writing of one of the best pictures of 2010 make this “Social Network” every bit as addictive, and a little chilling as well.

movie review: ‘Let Me In’
Director does impressive job reimagining Swedish vampire hit The Orlando Sentinel
T
here are monsters who wander the halls of our schools, selecting victims, destroying lives. We call them bullies. And they’re the real beasts of Matt Reeves’ “Let Me In,” his bloody, almost note-fornote remake of the Swedish tween vampire hit, “Let the Right One In.” Whatever horrors the bloodsucker unleashes on 1983 Los Alamos, N.M., they’re not as immediate as the no-holds-barred brutality of a gang of middle schoolers who torment poor Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee). Owen is an odd 12-yearold, a sad, sensitive loner who steals from his mom’s purse so he can buy candy, the sort of skinny kid who doesn’t join in most sports and who earns daily assaults and atomic wedgies for it. But Owen has a new neighbor. She’s his age. Yes, it’s winter and, no, she often doesn’t wear shoes out into the snow. Her “dad” (the peerless Richard Jenkins) is secretive and strange. But Owen could use a friend. “Just so you know, I can’t be your friend,” are pretty much the first words out of her mouth. “That’s just the way it is.” He is smitten, understandable since Abby is played by the beguiling Chloe Moretz (“Diary of a Wimpy Kid”). And eventually, she relents on the whole “friend” thing. All he has to do is invite her in. Reeves resets this story in the Reagan era and makes Owen’s mom religious, bitter over her impending divorce and always watching religious programming (and Ronald Reagan speeches).
The “Cloverfield” director also tells chunks of the story in flashback, following a cop (Elias Koteas) who is trying to figure out if a “Satanic cult” is behind the rash of ritual murders that now rivet the town. Smit-McPhee (“The Road”) suggests an innocent creepiness, a child who peeks in on his sexy neighbors through his telescope, who practices face-offs with his school tormentors with a newly bought pocket knife. His Owen seems childish, but capable of terrible things. Moretz is fast staking out the title “Next Jodie Foster.” Her performances are always good, but in her last two films, directors have sexualized her, giving her Lolita lighting and wardrobe. Like the original Swedish film, there’s a touch of the kinky, if not just the inappropriate, to this. And Dylan Minnette as Kenny is every amoral 12year-old villain you’ve ever read about: a sociopath in a Justin Bieber bowl cut. Minnette’s bullying menace reminded me of early Matt Dillon teen-thug performances. The digitally augmented vampire attacks are marginally more convincing than the ones in the “Twilight” films, and Moretz’s Abby is a poster child for how messy “real” vampires would be — the opposite of the kabuki Cullens of Forks, Wash. It’s not quite as chilling and offers up only a couple of real jolts in the fright department. But in casting Jenkins as Abby’s tormented “dad,” in illustrating how bullies are made (it’s passed down) and in maintaining, through every blue or am-
ber winterscape, a genuine sense of disquiet, Reeves has SAEED ADYANI/OVERTURE FILMS/AP Americanized a very good foreign film without defang- Kodi Smit-McPhee is shown in a scene from “Let ing it. Me In.”

hey are the voices of disillusionment, invisible to most Americans and unwelcome reminders of a horrifically chaotic era that once ripped the nation apart. They are American soldiers seeking refugee status in Canada. This time, it is not Vietnam they are avoiding, but the Iraq war. Moreover, their fate is much more uncertain. Last March, playwright Joanna Crowell, then completing her degree at the University of Western Ontario, heard an American soldier talking on the radio about how thousands of soldiers, who had wanted to serve their country, saw crimes against humanity and had a change of heart. This revelation led Crowell to decide to illuminate the plight of the soldiers in her senior qualitative research course project. “I went on Facebook asking for resisters to contact me for interviews, and many did,” says Crowell, whose research paper morphed into a play given a staged reading in London, Ontario, in July. On Friday, Crowell’s drama, “AWOL: A Soldier’s Journey,” will have its world premiere at Pure Theatre at the Charleston Ballet Theatre studio. Having worked with Pure Theatre co-founder Sharon Graci’s children’s theater in the mid-1990s, Crowell notified Graci before writing “AWOL: A Soldier’s Journey.” Known for its risk-taking productions, Pure Theatre agreed to produce it. Now back living in Charleston, Crowell says in an interview, “The imme-

diacy of ‘AWOL: A Soldier’s Journey’ is that the fate of these soldiers is being decided in Canada’s House of Commons, as we speak.” She adds, “Getting refugee status (to be able to stay legally) is very difficult, not like in the Vietnam era, when the 50,000 American soldiers in Canada were automatically accepted, with no threat of deportation.” A Canadian video created by resisters’ supporters says that although the House of Commons has voted three times to allow refugee status for American soldiers, the minority government, led by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, ordered some deportations anyway. Crowell points out that the first deported soldier, Robin Young, served 15 months in a military prison. “My play is about the many reasons these soldiers came to Canada, and all the stories are not the same,” explains the playwright. “A national poll shows that 64
percent of Canadians want the resisters to be allowed to stay, and if Bill C-440, which is expected to be voted on soon in the House of Commons, is adopted, it would allow resisters to stay permanently.” Crowell says there are about 250 known war resisters in Canada, not counting those who exist “underground.” In the play, Crowell focuses on three soldiers: two men played by David Mandel and Paul Whitty, and a woman based on Kimberly Rivera, the first female Iraq war resister to seek refugee status in 2006, portrayed by Katie Huard. Rivera has been threatened with deportation three times. “I am profoundly grateful to the war resisters who trusted me with their stories in the face of tremendous pressures,” says Crowell. “They are my heroes.” Reach Dottie Ashley at dottieashley@gmail.com.

When West led the heart four againstthreeno-trump,declarer ran the lead to his hand, then played a club to dummy’s queen as West ducked. Now, when a second club went to West’s king, West paused to count out the hand and concluded correctly that his partner had no more thansixpointsandnomorethan two hearts. The problem was to construct a hand that would lead to the defeat of the contract. West eventually decided that hisonlyhope,unlikelyasitmight be, was for declarer to hold the doubleton queen-jack or kingjack of spades. He therefore tried the effect of a switch to the spade eight, but met with no success. After declarer had wrapped up 10 tricks, West explained why he had not continued hearts. He knew that even if he had found East with the doubleton heart jack, his partner would have been left on lead. The defenders would still not have been able to set up the suit, as West had only one side-suit entry. It was only much later that inspiration dawned on West as to what would have been his best shot. If he had led the heart king attrickfour,itwouldhavelooked completelynaturalfordeclarerto duckthistrick.ButthenWestremains on play and can press on with a third heart while he still hastheclubentrytoruntheheart suit on regaining the lead.
