Jordan Gravel CD release party The folks in the Holy City Beard and Moustache Society rock their facial hair with pride, and you can’t help but admire them. I went to an event at the Upper Deck last year and had a blast. I only wish I looked good with a beard. Having one just seems so cool, you know? But I have major fear of growing it out. (And I’m sure my co-workers wouldn’t know what to do with a big-bearded dreadlocked dude running around in the newsroom. Hmm). Anyway, check out the photos on Pages 19-21 to see some amazing facial hair. And check out our big SEWE guide. There’s a map and a full schedule. This issue is a keeper.

‘SEWE to Soiree’

SATURDAY, FEB. 19 · 5:30- 8 P.M. // 80 Cannon St. SEWE will take over the city this weekend. One of the afterparties will take place at 80 Cannon St. on Saturday. “Sewe to Soiree” is filled with art, music, chainsaw carvings, clothes and more. Artists involved include Chris Cox, Lisa Abernathy and Jen Bryan. It’s sponsored by The Hub, a community development organization in the Cannonborough neighborhood. Admission is $5.

8:30 P.M. TONIGHT // Eye Level Art, 103 Spring St. Local jazz pianist Jordan Gravel will celebrate the release of his debut solo album, “Inner Preservation” with a live performance of the album in its entirety tonight at Eye Level Art. A relative newcomer to the local music scene, Gravel already has caught the attention of area jazz enthusiasts due to his work with local jazz quartet Organ Donor. For his solo album, Gravel explores such jazz influences as modern and bebop as well as funk and soul. The album will be on sale at the show for $7. Tickets are $7 in advance and the day of the show and are available at www.eyelevelart. com or at the door. Eye Level Art members will be admitted free while tickets are available. Visit www.eyelevelart.com or call 278-2374 for more information.

Chase After a Cure Gala 7 P.M. SATURDAY // The Charleston Marriott The third annual Chase After a Cure Gala, presented by Sparc and GE Power and Water, will be 7 p.m. Saturday at the Crystal Ballroom of the Charleston Marriott. Tickets, which cost $75, include open bar with heavy hors d’oeuvres stations provided by top local chefs, including Halls Chophouse, 17 North Roadside Kitchen, Bocci’s, Wentworth Grille and Saffire Restaurant, as well as live music by Plane Jane. The event, which will include live and silent auctions, benefits research on neuroblastoma, the third most common cancer for children ages 5 and under, at the Medical University of South Carolina. Visit www.chaseafteracure. com.

Marcus, I know you want it to look hip but please stop glorifying & encouraging vandalism of public & private property. It costs a fortune to repair and degrades the overall look and feel of our environment. Remember, we don’t want Charleston to look like New York City. I promise I will continue buying your newspaper and reading “Charlestonscene”. -Gene Spence, through e-mail, about last week’s cover art.

‘Spelling Bee’ a W-I-N-N-E-R

BY DUFFY LEWIS

Special to The Post and Courier

ou don’t have to be an etymology expert to laugh at the endearing musical, “25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” but Rachel Sheinkin’s book is a spelling bee geek’s dream and reminds us all that we were awkward teenagers once. The Charleston Stage production, which runs at the Dock Street Theatre through Sunday, tells the story of six highly competitive misfits and four audience participants who vie for the title of spelling bee champion. Two quirky administrators, former champion Rona Lisa Peretti (Stephanie S. Faatz) and Vice Principal Douglas Panch (Lee Lewis), and Mitchell Mahoney (Ira

Lindberg Harris), a gangster turned “Comfort Counselor,” guide the competitors through the competition and its life lessons. The musical unfolds as each student performs an autobiographical solo, a la “Chorus Line,” but much funnier. Charleston Stage’s “Spelling Bee” improvises the script with topical and local humor, albeit with one too many references to the crisis in Egypt, lending this production a unique style. With Kyle W. Barnette’s direction and Barbara Young’s costumes, the strong ensemble cast develops every charmingly idiosyncratic character. Mikey Nagy’s William Barfee (pronounced “Barfay”) overcompensates for his insecurities with bravado

and arrogance, but Nagy does so with nerdy wit and unabashed dorkiness. Drew Archer’s Leaf Coneybear — yes, that is really his name — lives in his own imaginative world where he makes is own clothes, such as his cape of many colors. Leaf uncontrollably enters a hypnotic trance and spells obscure words and does not know why. Nor does the audience. “Spelling Bee” satirizes modern parenting and the overscheduled American child. There is Shelby Smith’s Logainne (pronounced “Logan”) SchwartzandGrubenierre and her ambitious two dads; Olive Ostovsky (MaryE Godfrey) has two highly successful but absent parents; Marcy Park (Helen Kathryn DeBuse) commands not five,

but six, languages as well as every sport and artistic endeavor. Under Amanda Wansa’s musical direction, William Finn’s lively score is highlighted by the gospel-styled “Prayer of the Comfort Counselor” and the heartwarming “The I Love You Song.” The orchestra is flawless and the chorus is well-balanced but drops vocal strength at times during dance numbers. Multicast Harris proves his breadth as an actor and singer, swinging from the gangster to Logainne’s effeminate co-dad, then sharing a sentimental duet as Olive’s dad with Faatz as Olive’s mom. Faatz’s full vocal range and easy, classical style are refreshing. Accompanied by smooth lighting and sound design,

Julian Wiles’ set design of a school gymnasium is backed by a white drop painted with black, typed letters and random squares, resembling a keyboard. A brightly lit ramp gives the disqualified mis-

spellers a grand send off as Mitch bids goodbye with a hug and a juice box. The six eccentric students survive the bee and adolescence, and grow up to become us.

Wine down the week with cheap events

BY KEVIN YOUNG

Special to The Post and Courier

riendship can come in all forms and at any time in your life. Stephen King wrote in his novella, “The Body” (better known for its cinematic adaptation “Stand By Me”), “Friends come in and out of your life like busboys in a restaurant, did you ever notice that?” One such friend hobbled into my life in July 1993. With one leg dragging behind the other three, he let out a plaintive wail that resembled a meow. This feline, with fur the color of fudge ripple ice cream, had a grumpy disposition that didn’t suit his six-month-old body. Being the soft-hearted cat folk that I am, he was quickly taken to the James Island Veterinary Hospital. The next day, he reappeared with a cast around his back leg. This made the grumpy feline even grumpier. Apparently, this meant I would be taking custody of this little vagrant. Due to a lack of creativity, I named him Felix after the cartoon cat. When it comes to adjectives, lovable may not be the correct word to describe Felix. Let’s face it, he wasn’t exactly unique in terms of appearance and personality. His jam-packed itinerary rarely changed: complain, eat, sleep, litter box, sleep, complain, eat, litter box and if he has time for it, a little scuffle with the other neighborhood cats. Work, work, work. Aside from his inability to suffer fools gladly, be they dogs, cats or ground moles, he also had a penchant for hip-hop. At least, that’s what it seems like to me. The first time I ever played

KEVIN YOUNG

Rest in peace, Felix. Biggie Smalls’ “Big Poppa” CD single, his highness strolled toward’s one of the speakers, sniffed it and sat down in front of the pulsating woofer. The moment all the boom bap ended and the rock fury began, he coolly sauntered out the room. I guess my cat was, like me, a hip-hop fiend. It wasn’t too long before a bond formed between me and Lix. That bond only grew stronger over the next 17 years. Of course that human-feline bond was strengthened by the persistent doting and spoiling by yours truly. When my furry homeboy took residence in my apartment, it made life a little less complex. I would sometimes find myself bragging about my cat. Sometimes, I even found myself using “we” to describe me and Lix. “We didn’t do much last night, just chilled at the crib, ordered a pizza and watched ‘The Boondocks’ marathon til we passed out,” is an example of one such sentence. Pet owners have a tendency to project their personalities onto four-legged friends, and my relationship with Felix was no different. To everyone else, he was just some cat. But to me, he was Notorious L.I.X. I admired my buddy’s aloof demeanor. Even in his twilight years to his final days on Earth, Lix kept that chill persona. Needless to say, his passing has left me with a void. With Felix, I had a friendship that was reciprocal and unconditional. Thank you, Lix for making the past 18 years a little furrier.

a couple of weeks ago and will be the first to say that this is an intense workout. After a quick beginners’ lesson at 7:45 p.m., I was whisked away by strangers to learn the steps from more experienced dancers. Dancing with strangers was a bit awkward at first, but after a few minutes (and a bunch of botched dance moves), I was laughing so much it didn’t matter. The dance group usually meets the first and third Fridays of the month. Admission is $8, and the dance lasts until 11 p.m. Music this week will be provided by Sullivan’s Folly.

interpreting the music and conveying its moods with awesome moves. The coolest part of the show was the encore. It came on the heels of a standing ovation after the final movement, “Ad Lib On Nippon,” a long, rousing, up-tempo romp that had all the dancers prancing all over the stage with stylized abandon, creating a tumultuous spectacle accompanying a delightful cacophony of sound, one that alluded to the sweet dissonant feel of Eastern music married by Ellington and Strayhorn in this work with the easy swing of American music. The encore music, the evening’s coda, was Duke’s classic “C-Jam Blues.” It was jammin’, too. By this time, much of the audience was on its feet clapping and moving along with the loping beat, heaping praise on the performers. There was magic in the air. That night, the C in “C-Jam Blues” could have stood for Charleston, as in Charleston Ballet Theatre and Charleston Jazz Orchestra.

The work of nature photographers will be on display in the Embassy Suites.

New York Fashion Week sparks trends for 2011 BY REBEKAH BRADFORD

Special to The Post and Courier

his week all eyes are on New York. It’s Fashion Week for the Fall 2011 Collections, and every fashion blog, tweet, website and article will be breathlessly announcing the latest looks coming down the runway. Except, right now at this very moment, I don’t really care. When Punxsutawney Phil didn’t see his shadow on Groundhog Day, I did a little jig because it meant an early spring, and I am more than ready for it. So while I’m mildly curious about the trends we’ll all be shopping come September, I’m much more interested in the stuff that’s popping up in stores now because they’re the pieces (fingers

crossed) I’ll be wanting in a few weeks when the weather warms up for good. What’s especially exciting about the spring trends is that they’re so wearable. It seems every decade gets a fashion reboot (last year it was the glitzy ’80s). For spring, the ’90s are having a moment but not the grungy, plaid shirt Alice in Chains era. This trend focuses on minimalism. Instead of black, though, opt for neutrals such as tan, sand, camel, khaki and white.

A feminine riff on menswear is another trend, and one of the best looks is widelegged pants. After a season of squeezing into jeggings, the ease of these trousers should be a relief to a lot of women. Worn slightly high-waisted and super long with platforms, these pants create a fluid silhouette that’s a little bit ’70s. If you need a fashion muse, think Bianca Jagger circa her marriage to Mick. Stripes are big as well, so if you went all in last year with the nautical trend, you should be golden. I’m still a fan of the sailor stripe tee, which I plan to get a lot of wear out of this season. Shoes this spring will be just as wearable as the clothes. Platforms are still the must-have, and for spring, a platform sandal

is a strong look. I’ve got my eye on some neutral wedges by a Brooklyn label called Kork-Ease that look insanely comfortable. Flat espadrilles will be hot this spring, and a jaunty striped pair taps into two

trends at once. Also look for loafers and kitten-heels. With all these comfortable options, I may never want to slip into a pair of stilettos again. For more ideas, check out the February issue of

Vogue and the March issue of Lucky, which I used to put together some of these trends. Better yet, head out to your local shops, which should be displaying some of their spring merchandise now.

Catch Co. on Friday at The Music Farm.

Co. gets back in rhythm BY PAUL PAVLICH

Special to The Post and Courier

ead singer Brian Hannon is amped about his band, Co. (or Company), and their first concert in Charleston since mid-2010. The band has had an interesting past few months, to say the least. After the passing of former drummer Kelly Grant, Hannon continued down his musical path, adding Allen Andrews on drums and Chris Thomas on bass. Guitarist T.J. Ave-Lallement still shares the stage and the brunt of the guitar work with Hannon. Their show Friday at the Music Farm will be the first time Co.’s new lineup will play in the Lowcountry. “Within the past six months, I had to basically get a new rhythm section,” Hannon said. “This will be the first show with the new lineup. I figured I could either quit or keep going, so I decided to keep going and try my best.” Co. has been busy touring and making records. Its self-titled EP was released last month on Fat Possum Records, the same label that signed Andrew Bird and the Black Keys. “We released the EP on Fat Possum in January,” Hannon said. “It’s out on iTunes and you can order it from Fat Possum. It’s got five songs on it. I think it’s pretty good. Hopefully, other people like it too.” The band is also releasing a full-length of songs Hannon wrote in 2008 and 2009, titled “Holy City,” on Brooklyn-

based indie label Exit Stencil. Both of the recordings feature the late Kelly Grant on drums. This fall brought Company on a tour with Matt Pond PA, which was a huge opportunity for them. Hoping to ride the momentum of its last stint on the road, the band is planning a tour that will get the group across the Southeast, the Northeast and the Midwest starting in the late spring and carrying on through the early summer. “We’ll be doing two or three weeks with this band from Cleveland called Filmstrip. They are the guys who actually hooked us up with the label from Brooklyn. We’re going to meet up with them in Georgia and go through the Midwest to the Northeast and go back home,” Hannon said. Friday’s show will feature a solo set by Co. bassist Chris Thomas, as well as a set by Cabbage. The tickets are at $7 ($10 for under 21). “I would really like for people to come out on Friday,” Hannon said. “It should be good. All the bands are great.”

Tin Roof will sound like New Orleans on Saturday

BY SAMANTHA TEST

Special to The Post and Courier

if you go

he next time you hear someone say that they just don’t make music like they used to, feel free to reply: “Blair Crimmins and the Hookers do.” Saturday night, the unabashedly big New Orleans jazzy ragtime sound that Crimmins fronts will fill every corner of the Tin Roof. “Jazz and blues, that’s where it all started,” said Crimmins. “And then it stayed in the South and developed here. I love the energy of it. When I listen to early jazz, I can hear the excitement of it, of the times.” “The same way people may feel about the ’60s and psychedelic rock,” he continued, “I feel that way when I listen to Louis Armstrong. That was it for me. That was an exciting time for me, using classical instruments to make this wild sound that was turning heads everywhere.” Other influences of Crimmins’ include Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Waller, Bessie Smith and King Oliver. While Crimmins will switch between the piano, guitar, banjo, ukulele and accordion (in addition to his vocals), he’ll be joined by a few of the usual seven Hookers: Norm Ficke (saxophone, clarinet), Travis Cottle (trombone), Dustin Sargent (upright bass) and Adam Hopkinson (drums). They’ll play material off their new album, “Musical Stylings of Blair Crimmins and the Hookers,” as well as two songs off the recent vinyl release at the beginning of the month. One of these two includes a favorite of

“We both have a really organic sound,” said Crimmins. “We explore different variations of jazz and blues and roots American music. We just use different brushes to paint it.” The two groups met through a mutual promoter and ever since have looked for chances to play together. “He saw us and was like yes! And we saw him and we were like yes!” said Jean. She Blair Crimmins and husband/band mate Byrne Klay are happy to host the Atlanta-based Hookers. In turn, they’ll be featured at an upcoming show at Crimmins’ home at the Star Bar.

Abigail Washburn CITY OF REFUGE (Rounder)

Every so often you put a CD into your stereo without knowing much about the artist, and what follows is akin to a religious experience. That’s basically what happened to me with “City of Refuge,” the new CD by banjo player Abigail Washburn. “Wait a second,” you might be saying, “a banjo player caused a musical epiphany?” Well, yeah, but in my defense let me just say that Washburn isn’t your run-of-the-mill “how fast can you play ‘Foggy Mountain Breakdown’ ” sort of banjo player. Much like Bela Fleck, who happens to be Washburn’s husband, Washburn takes the instrument and uses it to expand the listener’s musical horizons. While Fleck incorporates jazz elements into his banjo music, Washburn melds the bluegrass and Appalachian sounds with those of China, where she lived for a few years while deciding between studying law and a music career. While the majority of “City of Refuge” sounds like a beautifully lush Americana album, there are little hints of the East that rear their heads in almost every song. That Washburn also possesses a lovely singing voice is simply icing on the cake. Standout tracks on “City of Refuge” include the gorgeous title track, “Ballad of Treason” and especially “Divine Bell,” which sounds like some long-lost traditional spiritual, but is actually a Washburn original. “City of Refuge” is one of those albums that anyone with even a passing interest in Americana music will love. It is easily one of the best things I’ve heard so far this year. KEY TRACKS: “City of Refuge,” “Ballad of Treason,” “Divine Bell.”

Drive-By Truckers GO-GO BOOTS (ATO)

Patterson Hood and the rest of the members of the Southern rock band Drive-By Truckers (DBT) have always been known for their generous song output. With that said, it seems that the last couple of years have been robust ones for even this prolific outfit. Last March, DBT released the well-received “The Big To-Do,” which was a fairly straightforward rock ’n’ roll album. Apparently, while writing songs for that release, DBT went on quite a tear, banking more than 40 tunes. Never ones to hold back from their fans, the second set of music from that fruitful session comes as “Go-Go Boots,” which finds the band taking a more R&B-oriented route. Check out songs such as “Dancin’ Ricky,” which features bassist Shonna Tucker’s best vocals yet, or Hood’s gushing “Everybody Needs Love” and you’ll see that “Go-Go Boots” isn’t simply an album of leftovers. These songs stand on their own. Had even a few of these been included on “The Big ToDo,” it would have thrown off that album’s entire dynamic. Even the departure of longtime songwriter and guitarist Jason Isbell a few years ago seems to be overcome. This is a band that gets better with each successive album. KEY TRACKS: “Dancin’ Ricky,” “Everybody Needs Love,” “The Thanksgiving Filter”

Todd Snider LIVE: The Storyteller (Red)

Todd Snider is a difficult artist to explain if you have never heard him, and even more difficult if you have only heard his 1994 radio hit “Alright Guy.” Although that clever tune demonstrated Snider’s devilish sense of humor and songwriting talent, it also pigeonholed him for a time as a novelty songwriter. In reality, Snider can write a serious song with the best of them, and had he followed the preordained path his record company likely had planned for him, he’d probably be wildly famous right now. He also would have sold out and compromised his true artistic vision. Fortunately for us, Snider didn’t follow that path. It might have made for some lean years and being dropped from more than one label, but when you get a Todd Snider album, you can be assured it is unfiltered and real. On “Live: The Storyteller” Snider shows why he is known for his live performances. Part Americana concert, part standup comedy performance, Snider lets witty songs such as “Is This Thing Working” and “Tension” mix with more serious tunes such as “Play a Train Song” and “East Nashville Skyline.” As with most Snider live shows, these performances find Snider clicking with his audience, making for an even more intimate experience. The music here is generous; 24 tracks over a pair of CDs. It’s a great, loose performance by one of today’s wittiest and best American songwriters. KEY TRACKS: “Tension,” “Play a Train Song,” “Conservative Christian, Right-Wing Republican, Straight, White, American Males”

David Lowery THE PALACE GUARDS (429 Records)

If you settle into David Lowery’s new solo album, “The Palace Guards,” expecting to hear something that resembles his other bands, Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven, then prepare for a certain amount of disappointment. While there is no mistaking Lowery’s voice, which has an endearing strained quality, the music on “The Palace Guards” is less tongue-incheek, more personal this time. There are multiple moods to the music as well. Check out the country-fried “Raise ’Em Up on Honey” that kicks off the CD, then compare it to the alt-rock slither of “Baby, All Those Girls Meant Nothing To Me.” While Lowery has always had a penchant for country and Americana twang, there are quite a few different sounds to be found here. Best of all, Lowery calls in favors from an impressive array of friends in the music business, including drummer Miguel Urbiztondo, guitarist David Immergluck, keyboardist Craig Harmon, and bassist Ferd Moyse, as well as Lowery’s Cracker bandmates Sal Maida and Johnny Hickman. Even the late Mark Linkous made a contribution to Lowery’s project prior to his tragic suicide last year. The whole thing was recorded and mixed at Sound of Music, Lowery’s Virginia studio, and the results are impressive both for the quality of the music and for the fact that Lowery doesn’t play it safe. KEY TRACKS: “Raise ’Em Up On Honey,” “Deep Oblivion,” “Baby, All Those Girls Meant Nothing To Me”

Lynch’s ‘Americana and country’ album ready for the stage

mily Lynch has made a name for herself in Clemson. She actually thinks living in a small town has contributed to her success. “I moved from Atlanta to Clemson, and I think it’s been a positive thing. To grow as an artist, I have to make stuff happen for myself.” And Lynch has done that by constantly traveling to write with other musicians and play shows. “I needed time to write a lot and get to know myself as a writer and an artist,” she says. But most of her buzz is in Clemson. “I have an in-house radio performance after we get off the phone. All the newspapers and radios are helping

me out,” she says. “People are genuinely excited about my album coming out. Since artists are not a dime a dozen in the area, they are 100 percent behind me.” Clemson has spawned other music success stories. Needtobreathe, who are now touring with Taylor Swift, came out of Seneca, and Edwin McCain is from the area as well. Lynch’s first studio-length album was released Tuesday. On Friday, she has a show and release party in Charleston at the Village Tavern. “It’s 10 songs. Everything from really Nashville country to an Americana vibe. I have a rock tune at the end and a bluesy one in the middle,” she said. She also likes to say her self-titled album is a “continuum of Americana and country,” and is proud to boast that people who say

they don’t like country music have said they like hers. The album has been a labor of love for Lynch. The process took a couple of years. Her writing has gotten stronger recently, more stylized, she says. Locally, Lynch has written with Mark Bryan and Steven Fiore. Fiore, who’s opening for her Friday, and Lynch cowrote “Don’t Want You To.” It’s arguably her strongest, but also one of the songs we’ll only hear live until she gets back in the studio. She’s proud of all her old stuff as well. “If you’re constantly waiting for your perfect songs, you’re never going to put anything out. I think people will like the album, and I think people will really love what I come out with next,” she says.

Forum back for ninth installment Special to The Post and Courier

ultimedia arts celebration Pecha Kucha returns for its ninth installment at 7 p.m. Feb. 24, featuring 10 local speakers representing a diverse array of creative professions. Set to be held at an undisclosed location that will be revealed two days before the event, each presentation will get the stage for six minutes and 40 seconds, in which speakers will have the opportunity to show 20 images for 20 seconds each, while also talking about their work and detailing what inspires them creatively. The latest incarnation will be emceed by past presenter Geoff Richardson of Lava Salon, and will feature presentations by artist Iamikan Courts, photographer Brennan Wesley, Dan Sweeney of Stumphouse Architecture and Design, Rodney Rogers of Pure Theatre, David Merritt and Jaime Tenny of Coast Brewing Company, Ellie Maas Davis of Pressque Editing, Jarod Charzewski and Liz Vaughan of Receiver Time Based Media Festival, and Rosanna Giacalone Krekel of Fashion Group International. It also will feature beverages provided by Coast Brewing Company. Lee Deas of Parliament, the local organization of creative professionals who hosts the event, believes that the most exciting components of the evening are the diversity of the presenters and their willingness to connect with one another. “It’s a great networking element for a group of people that don’t necessarily plug into other working opportunities, and they’re relating on their own terms,” she said. Arts festival co-organizer Vaughan said that she and her colleague, Charzewski,

Pecha Kucha

What is Pecha Kucha?

The event is a forum for speakers where each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for just 20 seconds, giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show, according to the Parliament website. Pecha Kucha 9 is Feb. 24 at a location to be announced online a few days before the event. To purchase tickets and find out more, visit charlestonparliament.com.

Nathan Durfee was the host of Pecha Kucha 7 in August.

are excited to exchange ideas with their fellow creative professionals at the event. “Pecha Kucha is a way for people to present themselves that wouldn’t normally get a lot of attention. It’s the coming together of a community and creating dialogue within a group of people,” she said. Charzewski said, “It’s also an awareness of ideas. I think that the discussions that happen afterwards are really where the heart of Pecha Kucha is.” This installment of Pecha Kucha, which was founded in Japan in 2003 but first brought to South Carolina by Parliament in November 2008, coincides with an exciting time for the organization, Deas said. “There are a lot of new developments with Parliament. We completed market research studies in May and have been going around to all of the different community organizations to let them know the results, trying to get everyone involved and excited about it,” she said. According to Parliament’s research, there are more than 27,000 creative professionals residing in the Charleston region, accounting for 6.7 percent of the area’s work-

Local artist John Pundt did the poster for Pecha Kucha 7. force. Parliament member Robert Prioleau said that, as every member of the Charleston creative community is automatically considered a member of Parliament, the organization’s goal is to create a stronger connection within the art community while highlighting its importance to the region. “When we set out to do the research, we wanted to show that there’s proof that creative professions are actually a viable energy- and job-producing engine for the region,” he said. In an attempt to raise funds and spread the word, the organization launched a new membership initiative this past week called the House of Commons. For a

$50 annual fee, local creative professionals can support the organization while receiving automatic tickets and reservations for each Pecha Kucha event, in addition to other goodies including T-shirts and stickers. Steve Weber of Parliament said, “It will help us sustain and keep hosting Pecha Kucha without having to turn into some kind of big forprofit operation.” The organization encourages those not interested in the membership program at this time to purchase tickets for Thursday’s event immediately, as tickets went on sale for $5 Wednesday and tend to sell out quickly. “The second event we held sold out within 10 hours,” Deas said.

“computer glitches.” Those impediments to service appear to have been resolved. This is a kitchen that cures its own hams; preserves, conserves, pickles; grinds, puts up and puts by so that you, the diner, can taste a region that covers the South as well as local foods from Thornhill Farm and Maria Baldwin and Company. This is a kitchen that welcomes Clammer Dave, Celeste Albers, the farmers of James, Johns and Wadmalaw islands, the grains of Anson Mills and the scholarly directives of Glenn Roberts and David Shield. It is a restaurant that is biodynamic and biodiverse. So what about this food? Well, for starters our server guided us through the daily menu by rote. In a labor of hospitality love she was able to recite the contents of the menu as we say in the kitchen, “from scratch.” It takes you a while to digest the contents of this domesticated salute to the Southern culinary repertoire. But patience comes easy at a Southern table. The season determined the Capers Inlet oysters ($14), braced with cold and brine, tempered by a balanced mignonette. And that points to another “Brockism”: He is using the ingredients of the South but that does not mean they will not be dressed in culinary finery from other shores, like this French peppercorn sauce. Fried chicken skins ($6) were served with a housemade hot sauce cooled by Wadmalaw honey. Interesting, but save your appetite for the chicken wings ($10) smoked and then double fried to crispness cloaking the tender wing flesh. If the ham tasting is available ($14), do taste the Southern masterwork of family farms that know how to use salt, air and smoke to transform hog muscle into succulence. Served with a pungent mustard and pickled vegetables whose predominant flavors are

allspice and clove, you will be pleased. A Thackeray Farms arugula salad ($9) topped with roasted beets and Asher blue cheese needed a bit more acid in the ham vinaigrette dressing to cut through the fermented fat of the cheese and the salt of the beets and ham flavoring, but its portion was generous and stratified with layers of texture and lushness. It was hard to pass up Bev’s pork chop ($22). Bev Eggleston is known for his “fine swine” and this plate was no exception. It was served with Anson Mills farro, pork belly, Lacinato kale and a splash of red-eye gravy. A plate “likker.” A simple dish of catfish ($23) and clams on a bed of pureed potatoes with butter beans and field peas showcased how the simple is sublime. Ingredients that speak of themselves with minimal invasion by the kitchen. Just a fine plate of fish. Husk is truly a house of “brown water” and Bourbon fans will salivate over its small-batch collection, aged Pappy Van Winkle selections, and curated cocktails ($10) with names like Corpse Reviver and Monkey Gland. Wines are grouped according to their most basic soil type. Look for terms such as alluvial, limestone, clay, slate, granite. It will become a lexicon that informs your taste preferences. Desserts are the “amuse” at Husk, whether they are deconstructed in Wreck canning jars, playful riffs on Moon Pies, or inverted black bottom confections. Nathan Richard will leave you with a sweet and happy memory of your last course. The menu at Husk is a gestalt experience. The past is made present, boding well for the future when the names of farmers roll off our tongues, not the initials of conglomerates who have given us “fast” but not really “food.” Southern Living Magazine

has already selected Husk as the “Best New Restaurant.” Brock’s goals are to “change the perception of the South and its cooking.” It is clear that he is on the trajectory to accomplish this but of more importance is the farm and farmer brands that he is building on the backs of regional and environmental values. He is showing us, one ingredient at a time, that matters of choice can become matters of course and that is not just a Southern thing.

Billy Boy and the Britoons in “The Illusionist,” directed by Sylvain Chomet. In the film, the Illusionist is one of a dying breed of stage entertainers. With emerging rock stars stealing his thunder in the late 1950s, he is forced to accept increasingly obscure assignments in fringe theaters, at garden parties and in bars and cafes.

Oscar-nominated cartoon top-notch visual enchantment BY ROGER MOORE The Orlando Sentinel

ith “The Illusionist,” fans of the late, great and generally silent French comic Jacques Tati have what is, in essence, his final film. It’s an animated farce in the Tati style, based on a Tati (“Mon Oncle,” Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday”) script. The lead character, a tall unflappable Frenchman of few words, looks like Tati. And since Tati rarely spoke, director Sylvain Chomet (“The Triplets of Belleville”) has license to basically resurrect him for this quiet, clever and adorably whimsical cartoon comedy. In the late 1950s, a veteran magician struggles to make a living in an entertainment world that has passed him by. What with rock ’n’ roll bands such as The Britoons, and television, “The Illusionist” can’t hold an

audience with his quiet and gentle tricks. It doesn’t matter that he’s a master at his trade. Nobody wants to see a cranky bunny dragged out of a hat anymore. Tati and Chomet get this across in a single clever sequence. Standing in the wings, the magician lights cigarettes that he will yank out of a pocket early in his act. But the darned teenagers keep screaming, and the darned Britoons keep doing encores. The illusionist has to tamp out the cigarettes and start his prep over

again. And again. And when he takes the stage, the teenyboppers have fled. But in an intimate setting, the guy kills. A wedding booking leads a drunken Scots bar owner to hire him for his pub. Thus, magician and bunny make the cross channel trek to Scotland, where once again, our hero leaves them begging for more. Such pre-TV outposts are rare. It’s a pity he can’t just stay there, but no booking lasts forever. And it’s when he leaves town for Edinburgh that

have to pay for the coat and shoes she covets in a store window. Like Tati himself, “The Illusionist” feels like a relic of a different time. There are voice actor credits in it, but most of the words are soft and/or faintly garbled. It’s not about the words. Thus, taking kids conditioned by “Shrek” and Pixar to a lot of words and a lot of action could be frustrating for them and for you. Promising ideas, such as sharing a boarding house with underemployed trapeze artists, an unemployed and suicidal clown, are left underdeveloped. But the Tati touch is everywhere. The water’s cut off in the clown’s apartment? No problem. He washes his face with the water-squirting daisy on his lapel. The hand-drawn cellanimation — no 3-D, thank you — is watercolor soft and charming. As is the film itself.

movie review !!! (of 5) DIRECTOR: D.J. Caruso. STARRING: Alex Pettyfer, Diana Agron, Timothy Olyphant, Teresa Palmer, Callan McAuliffe. RATED: PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, and for language. RUN TIME: 1 hour, 48 minutes.

spirit, the kid everybody teasingly calls “Spock” but whose real name is Sam (Callan McAuliffe of “Flipped”). Sam thinks his papa was abducted by aliens, so he and John have a lot to speak about. Director D.J. Caruso (“Disturbia”) knows his action beats, and he stages some fierce fights in the third act. There are ray guns, alien torture balls and reptilian tracking dogs beasties that the Mogadorian assassination squad has at its disposal. The Lorian children are armed with neon-tipped daggers. Caruso gives the Jobie Hughes/James Frey source novel as many flashy whistles and bells as he can in bringing this tale to the screen. But what works are the

high school moments — children enforcing or trying to escape the social order, “puppy love” rearing its head. Olyphant gives his dad figure a wild-eyed edge. and I loved the way Teresa Palmer is brought in as a super-cool, super-deadly Aussie blonde who is on John’s trail, too. As action films aimed at this audience go, “Number 4” falls midway between “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” and “Twilight” — mockingly self-aware, but without the whitehot sexual tension of the vampire movies. And the subtext, that you shouldn’t waste your teen years on stupid risks because you’re needed “for a higher purpose,” makes this a franchise I won’t mind seeing progress to a second movie.

Today’s deal comes from the finals of the NEC tournament, held in Japan last February. Over the years some eyebrows have been raised when I criticized the use of MUD leads (middle, up, down) from three cards. I accept that it may occasionally be useful to know that your partner has led from an honor. But, more frequently, when you lead the middle card, partner might not interpret your holding till it is too late. Watch one of the world’s top pairs experiencing this problem. Both tables reached three notrump, and both declared it the wrong way up. Both Wests led a spade, and both declarers found thecorrecttechnicalmoveofrising with dummy’s spade queen, forcing East to win the trick and thuscuthimselfofffromthelong spades.Haddeclarernotinserted the spade queen, he would have had no chance, whatever he did. So far, so technically competent; but the difference was that in one room Agustin Madala as East knew from the lead of the spade five that his partner had at most two spades. He shifted to a diamond and found his partner with the perfect hand to defeat the game. In the other room Adam Zmudzynski had to deal with the possibility that his partner had started with either the 5-4 or 8-5-4. He guessed wrong, continuingspades.Declarerwon in hand, set up first a heart, then a diamond winner, and claimed nine tricks.

Family celebrations leave hurt feelings

Presidents Day Trivia BY REBEKAH BRADFORD

Special to The Post and Courier

Presidents Day is Monday which makes it the perfect time to reflect on our past presidents and their accomplishments. Current Head2Head trivia champ, Eric Pastorelli, is hoping to extend his streak of victories. But first, he’ll have to take on his challenger, Kevin Mueller who works in sales.

FILE/AP

Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States, was elected by the House of Representatives after a tie in the Electoral College.

QUESTIONS 1. What U.S. president was known as “Old Hickory?” 2. William Henry Harrison was the first president to die in office, and he has the shortest presidency. How long was he in office? 3. Name the president who purchased the Louisiana Territory. 4. What future U.S. president negotiated the Treaty of Paris, which granted independence to the Colonies in America? 5. Who was the only president who was elected for an unprecedented fourth term? 6. When President McKinley was assassinated, who was sworn into office? 7. Following his term in office, President William Howard Taft served as what? 8. Name the only president to serve without actually being elected to either the presidency or the vice presidency. 9. Which president ordered the combat use of a nuclear weapon? 10. What award did Theodore Roosevelt and Jimmy Carter both win?

ERIC’S ANSWERS 1. That was Andrew Jackson. 2. I don’t know, 6 months? 3. Jefferson, and he bought it from Napoleon. 4. I’m 90 percent sure it’s John Adams. 5. FDR. 6. I’m gonna say Martin Fillmore because I know absolutely nothing about him. 7. Speaker of the House. 8. Ford. 9. Truman. 10. Well, I know that they both won the Nobel.

CONCLUSION Pastorelli keeps racking up the wins with an easy victory over his latest opponent. This Head2Head trivia champ is looking to stick around for a while. Will next week’s contestant be the one to knock him out? Stay tuned.

EAR ABBY: My family was invited to cousin “Kirk’s” wedding. My brother, “Ryan,” and his wife, “Dawn,” set their daughter’s first birthday party the same day and didn’t go to the wedding. The birthday was at 4; wedding at 6. The sites were an hour apart. We attended the birthday and left early for the wedding, as did Mom and Dad. We chipped in to get Kirk and his bride an upgrade on their cruise cabin. Ryan and Dawn contributed. The new couple asked that, since Ryan and Dawn didn’t attend, I thank them, but they would send thankyous, too. I called Ryan to say the couple were appreciative, the wedding beautiful, and they were missed. Six weeks later, my brother and his wife refuse to speak to me. I am told they felt the

DEAR ABBY call I placed was “inappropriate.” I was “throwing the wedding in their faces” and “had no right” to leave the birthday. I apologized, but to no avail, though they’re talking to our parents. Now what? — HURT SIBLING DEAR HURT: Maybe your brother has displaced his anger at your parents for not staying and directed it at you. You likely can’t do any more than you have to fix it. Your parents might remind Ryan that it would have been better to plan the festivities earlier so that everyone could have stayed longer.

KEVIN’S ANSWERS 1. Wasn’t it Andrew Jackson? 2. A year and three days. 3. Adams. 4. George Washington. 5. Thomas Jefferson. 6. Man, I don’t know. 7. President of Harvard. 8. Carter. 9. Roosevelt. 10. Medal of honor.

Southeastern Wildlife Exposition 2011 | 9

Angler, S Hunter, Bibliophile Dr. Greville Haslam and his rare book collection are sure to intrigue

10 | Southeastern Wildlife Exposition 2011

By Kim Catanzarite

ometimes the collector is as interesting as his collection. This is certainly true in the case of Dr. Greville Haslam and his collection of 2,250 angling and sporting books published in Great Britain and the United States over three centuries, starting with the 17th. Haslam, who was born in Nova Scotia, educated at MIT and the headmaster of Episcopal Academy in Pennsylvania for nearly 40 years, not only collected books but spent his free time in the early 20th century traveling the world, hunting and fishing – and keeping detailed notes. “The man himself was meticulous,” says Jenny Fowler, development officer at the College of Charleston. “In his travel journal, he noted what the weather was like; he had the coordinates of where he was; he mentions the clothing he packed, things like that. You learn so much about him from the collection, too. It would be a shame for the books and the journals to ever be separated.”

A special exhibit of Haslam’s angling and sporting books, as well as his travel journals, photos, and other memorabilia will debut at the College of Charleston’s Marlene and Nathan Addlestone Library during the Southeastern Wildlife Exhibition. “This is a remarkable collection that reflects not just the joys of fishing across three centuries but offers insight into the environmental issues that challenge us today,” says Dr. David Cohen, dean of libraries at the college. “This is by far the finest collection in the southeast.” Mary and Howard Phipps donated the books to the Addlestone Library in September of 2010. “Anglers and hunters will find it a wonderful early history of the sport to enjoy,” says project archivist Sharon Bennett. The assemblage boasts many rare book gems. One titled “Ladies’ Delight,” published around 1840, suggests that women of the time enjoyed fishing as much as men did. “In it, there’s angling information, along with makeup tips and what to take if you have a stomachache,” Bennett says. Another, “Hunger’s Prevention: The Art of Fowling,” details all one needs to know on the subject, including how to train your dog and when to give it a haircut. “In addition to being great sources of research, these books are just fun to read,” she says. Over the course of his life, Haslam gathered more than 400 editions of Izaak Walton’s “The Compleat Angler,” one of the earliest books written on angling (of special note are a second edition published in 1655 and an 1808 edition that features seven original watercolors). The book is a contemplative text studied in many university philosophy departments today, and it’s the third most reprinted book in publishing history just after “Paradise Lost” and the Bible. “Dr. Haslam was fascinated with the different editions of Walton,” Bennett says. “Each edition underwent some change. The first few were pocketsize so that you could take the book in your fishing jacket. The fifth edition included information from Charles Cotton, much more of an angler than Walton, who included information on rods and flies.” From a publishing standpoint, the Waltons are a phenomenal printing and book publications history. “You can see how the volume progressed through 300 years,” Bennett says. As an avid bibliophile, Haslam created his own card catalog to keep track of each book in his collection, notating everything from how much he paid for

Focus on Films Lords of Nature: Life in a Land of Great Predators Friday, Feb. 18 at 1 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 20 at 3 p.m. Lords of Nature tells the story of a science now discovering top carnivores as revitalizing forces of nature and of a society now learning tolerance for beasts they once banished. It traces the path of legendary naturalist and writer Aldo Leopold, who warned 70 years ago that a land lacking its top predators is subject to decay, and vice versa, as a land with great beasts in sufficient numbers is far more diverse and resilient.

New this year, SEWE will present film screenings of two nature films at the Charleston Music Hall each day of the expo. Common Ground: The Story of the ACE Basin Saturday, Feb. 19 at 5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 20 at 1 p.m. This film documents the preservation of the ACE Basin, an extraordinary ecosystem between Charleston and Savannah which takes its name from the three rivers – the Ashepoo, Combahee, and Edisto – that run through the region, nourishing life and shaping the landscape.

Continued from page 10 the book to which pages contained the most helpful information. “He made detailed notes so that he would remember why he collected each book, where he got it from, if it was owned by someone in the angling field, if it was owned by a famous poet or a famous angler,” Bennett says. “Dr. Haslam used the books as a fisherman and a hunter; he was not just a book collector. He had a lifetime of learning the craft.” The books are part of the library’s natural history collection and will be available for research after the exhibit opens. The College of Charleston Addlestone Library is located at 205 Calhoun St.

Cueing Up Local pit master Jimmy Hagood to introduce the art of Southern barbecue

By Stephanie Burt

hether it’s lip-licking ribs, slathered in deep, smoky sauce, pulled pork punched up with a spicy vinegar mop, or a dry rub massaged into a beef brisket, for many eaters, barbecue is all good. Pork, beef, and even chicken – the meat doesn’t matter as much as the melding of smoke and spice. And for Jimmy Hagood, it feeds the fire of creativity. With his businesses, BlackJack Barbecue, Tidewater Catering and Food for the Southern Soul, Hagood has transformed his life from that of an insurance adviser to pit master and beyond. Winner of more than 18 competitive barbecue awards, Hagood is now bringing his Big Red Rig back to Marion Square to serve another delicious meal – and teach some of the tasty techniques behind his success. The “Big Red Rig” is BlackJack Barbecue’s “ultimate cooking experience.” Making appearances at national competitions and large catered events, the two-story, 30foot long rig has enough cooking space for 50 Boston Butts, 40 racks of ribs and much more. But before the rig, Hagood started as a weekend warrior, testing out recipes on friends and family – and eventually in competitions. “I got my start at SEWE in 1992,” he says. “I cooked my first competitive barbecue there and won second place in the amateur position. It’s great to come back 20 years later to be in a position to help other people.” ‘Cue Camp, a special Southeastern Wildlife Exposition Saturday event, is an introduction to the art of cooking traditional Southern barbecue. Hagood will guide attendees through the application of rubs, injections, sauces, fire and smoke that layer the flavors for backyard cooking adventures. Hagood has taught classes previously, including locally at Charleston Cooks! and Williams-Sonoma, and he asserts that prior grilling experience is not necessary to benefit from ‘Cue Camp. The event will cover the basics, but also touch on heritage breed products and how to source them, the types of sauces represented in South Carolina and the “heated” gas vs. charcoal debate. “The class brings the experience to all the five senses. It’s interactive,” he explains. In addition to ways to improve grilling techniques, the special event ticket includes a BlackJack Barbecue dinner: pulled pork shoulder with BlackJack Barbecue sauces, sliced beef brisket, pork ribs, cole slaw and dinner rolls, with plenty of iced tea and cold beer to wash it all down. “BlackJack Barbecue has been serving up great food

Continued from page 12 at the Southeastern Wildlife Expo for years, and it just seemed natural to grow our relationship with Jimmy Hagood into something more hands-on for our attendees,” says SEWE Art Coordinator Lindy Shealy. “With an appearance on ‘The Today Show’ and being included in numerous magazine and news features, his barbecue expertise is widely known. We thought some of our guests would appreciate having the opportunity to learn from a real pit master while having a good time and enjoying some delicious barbecue and cold beer.” With a wide variety of cooking shows on cable networks, many cooks know the general terminology for grilling but balk when they realize that the world of barbecue competition includes highly guarded recipes, huge cuts of meat and often all-night tending. Hagood wants to help the weekend cook go beyond backyard burgers without being intimidated by all the choices. He wants the choices to be fun. “You will learn a few short cuts, too, to speed the process and make it easier,” Hagood says. “You don’t have to stay up all night long (like we do) to make good barbecue.” Stephanie Burt grew up in the Carolina piedmont at a Southern table where the only spices were salt and pepper, but it’s also where she quickly learned to love barbecue (pulled pork, Western North Carolina style, of course). She covers art, food and travel for various publications.

Sport,

for Art’s Sake T

Featured Artist Eldridge Hardie brings his talent to SEWE

By Mary Coy

he Southeastern Wildlife Exposition’s 2011 Featured Artist Eldridge Hardie has been a sportsman his entire life. And he’s been a sporting artist nearly as long. “I started painting professionally in 1966,” he muses. “I figured I ought to paint what I know.” With more than 800 paintings executed in his professional career, Hardie continues to find new stories to tell through his work. He has traveled across the United States and Canada as well as to Scotland, Belize, the Caribbean and South America. He was in Charleston years ago with his friend, Charleston native Robert Small, who took him to the S.C. Historical Society to research photographs of the old Santee Gun Club (a private 20,000-acre preserve that comprises 12 former rice plantations along the south Santee River). Painting a variety of themes or landscapes keeps Hardie excited about his work. “There is so much interesting subject matter.” But the multiplicity of potential topics also presents challenges. “Getting the idea and getting focused is the most difficult aspect of painting. Once I’m going, it gets easier.” Since he is adept at using both oil and watercolor, Hardie’s versatility in his choice of medium also keeps things interesting for the artist. “I like going back and forth. It’s refreshing to switch off.” But that’s not to say all aspects of his work come easy. Hardie candidly admits he envies artists who have an innate ability with color subtleties and temperatures. “What I’m best at is drawing and getting the lights and darks.” He references prominent landscape artists Winslow Homer, Frank Benson and Ogden Pleissner as influences. Hardie generally produces 20 paintings a year, working eight hours a day, five days a week. However, not all of that time is spent in front of an easel; research, sketches, and field studies are also required. “I work from visual reference – not so much from my memory – because I need accuracy.” For this year’s expo, Hardie plans to bring 10 new works that represent the diversity of his subjects. He’ll have a few small vignettes of animals as well as full landscapes. Among them will be a western scene, an Oklahoma landscape and, of course, “Southern Covey,” the piece that spawned this year’s SEWE poster. “It’s the most representative piece of my work depicting this part of the country.” Although Hardie’s career is extensive and his professional accomplishments are many, this will be his first time to exhibit at SEWE. “Just being invited is in itself an honor,” the artist acknowledges. Lindy Shealy, SEWE’s art coordinator, says, “El is a renowned wildlife and sporting artist, and we’ve wanted to have him come to SEWE for years.”

1 | |Southeastern 16 SoutheasternWildlife WildlifeExposition Exposition2011 2011

It was the selection of his friend, Luke Frazier, as last year’s featured artist that clinched Hardie’s interest in SEWE. Hardie can also take pride in the Award of Excellence for Sporting Art given to him in 2008 by Sporting Classics magazine. “That put me in the class with previous winners Bob Kuhn and Bob Abbett, so it was great to be with the likes of them. And the one-man retrospective show I did at the National Bird Dog Museum (in Grand Junction, Tenn.) was another wonderful honor, especially since it was the museum’s first ever.” Besides earning dozens of prestigious awards, Hardie has illustrated more than 15 books and painted the covers for two. His own book, “The Paintings of Eldridge Hardie – Art of a Life in Sport,” spans nearly four decades of the artist’s career. It was published in 2002, but Hardie laments that “there are more recent pieces that now I wish I could include.” He finds himself adding sensory memories to the visual images in the book. Indeed, that is what the intent of his work is for others as well – to give the viewers “something that heightens their awareness when they are there or reminds them of when they were.” Even with all his accomplishments, there are still a few things Hardie would like to tackle, both professionally and personally. For instance, he’d like to paint “the quality of light at the start or end of the day. It’s magical.” He adds, “And perhaps I’ll do another retro exhibit.”

Another goal is to start cutting back gradually on his work. “I want to hunt and fish and do some travel and volunteer work. I have friends who are retired, and they have time for those things. And someday I’ll do some portraiture. I like painting human figures and occasionally go to art classes just to draw a model.” But whatever pursuits Eldridge Hardie embraces in the future, his devotion to the outdoors will serve as his guide, just as it always has. “I was born to hunt, fish and make art about these passions.” Mary Clark Coy is a freelance writer and author of several books of local interest.

20 | Southeastern Wildlife Exposition 2011

“Lords of Nature: Life in a Land of Great Predators” tells the story of a science now discovering top carnivores as revitalizing forces of nature and of a society now learning tolerance for beasts they once banished. It traces the path of legendary naturalist and writer Aldo Leopold who warned 70 years ago that a land lacking its top predators is subject to decay, and vice versa, as a land with great beasts in sufficient numbers is far more diverse and resilient. Friday at 1 p.m.; Sunday at 3 p.m. “Common Ground: The Story of the ACE Basin” documents the preservation of the ACE Basin, an extraordinary ecosystem between Charleston and Savannah which takes its name from the three rivers – the Ashepoo, Combahee and Edisto – that run through the region, nourishing life and shaping the landscape. Saturday at 5 p.m.; Sunday at 1 p.m.

Francis Marion Hotel “Landscapes and Locals” Exhibit

This exhibit in the Carolina Ballroom will showcase scenic landscapes by select SEWE artists and a myriad of works by more than a dozen talented Lowcountry artists.

Living with Wolves T

he Southeastern Wildlife Exposition is pleased to have Jim and Jamie Dutcher back for an encore presentation at the Gaillard Auditorium after an overwhelming response to their performance in 2009. As the founders of the not-for-profit organization Living with Wolves Ltd., the Dutchers are dedicated to educational outreach and travel the country to bring about a better understanding of the true nature of wolves and their importance to a healthy eco-system. The Dutchers spent six years in a tented camp at the edge of Idaho’s Sawtooth Wilderness, living with a pack of wolves, listening to them and earning their trust. They created a 25-acre enclosure (with their camp in the middle) and introduced a litter of wolf pups to the environment. The couple found that wolves have a similar social structure to that of elephants that involves complicated relationships with the group, a system of greeting and a period of mourning when a pack member dies. Although the reputation of wolves might scare many people, the Dutchers were never afraid for their safety, just for the securing of their supplies. “Wolves are very curious and would get into anything,” Jim says, so the couple had to erect a fence around the tent to protect their belongings. And since the wolves only hunted small wild game in the 25-acre enclosure, the couple became the “people to call” when road kill was spotted in the surrounding area. “Unfortunately, there is a lot of road kill in the mountains, and we collected deer, elk, antelope ... People came to recognize our van,” Jamie says with a laugh. Although the Sawtooth pack exists mainly in memory now, the Dutchers have been profoundly touched by their interaction with the animals. Combining projected images and film, they share their intimate story of life with the pack, at a time when wolves are once again being trapped and shot. “Wolves are where our hearts are,” Jamie says. “They need us now, especially when so many people don’t understand why the world needs wolves. If Americans can give their hearts to elephants and whales, they need to hear the story of wolves, our nation’s own incorrectly demonized animal, wrongly being killed and mismanaged in our own country, before we can truly understand the depth of their caring and their intelligence.”

Calling for the preservation of wild places with contiguous wildlife corridors that allow for a sustainable ecosystem for wolves, and one that would preclude the clashes with ranchers and encroaching civilization that are threatening the wolf with rapid extinction, the Dutchers’ programs are sure to be of interest to many SEWE attendees. Editor’s note: Quotes and information from an article by Stephanie Burt, which appeared in the 2009 SEWE publication, were used in this article.
