politics: What

better place to meet your future mayor than at the liquor store? by patrick rodgers

city notebook:

10 Your weekly news in meth!

by patrick rodgers

08 environment 11 Blotter 12 News of the Weird

Fault lines are spreading through Savannah.

The biggest crack in the earth became visible at the now-infamous townhall meeting in February, orchestrated by the mayor to give voice to public opinion about the city manager search.

In a local version of the racially-polarized O.J. Simpson verdict, at that meeting a stark verbal picture was painted of a white community clearly threatened by the changing demographic face of Savannah and a black community which in some ways still seems mired in ‘60s-era grievances and rhetoric.

It was incredibly depressing, and frankly quite shocking in its depiction of a community torn apart at the most fundamental levels and not entirely living in the 21st century.

Another crack in the wall — literally — came over the last week when City Manager Rochelle Small-Toney threatened to fire Police Chief Willie Lovett after he went to the media with complaints about the decrepit and dangerous facilities in which his officers have been forced to work on a daily basis for years.

That the threat against the well-respected Lovett came in the middle of a protracted violent crime wave which clearly demands the

police department’s full attention wasn’t lost on an outraged public.

That Mayor Johnson initially chose to back up his city manager rather than neutrally moderate the debate also wasn’t lost on observers.

Perhaps what is most immediately problematic for city officials — other than the likely lawsuits over the health effects of the mold which has grown due to the neglect of basic repair — is that Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax money exists, and has existed, specifically to build a new public safety building.

Indeed, Lovett’s frustration has been shared by several previous chiefs who also warned of the dangers of forcing officers to work in a compromised health situation and who also knew the funds existed to correct the problem.

What’s the hold-up on the proper use of those taxpayer funds? That remains to be seen.

One thing we know for sure: We live in a city where an alderwoman was bailed out by

taxpayers to the tune of $50,000-plus when her home was damaged by water, while our police are expected to work with rainwater leaking on their heads because city council won’t do the right thing and help them out.

For some, the leaks are fixed. For others...

And this is the fault line I was talking about: The cold hard truth is that not everyone supports the police as much as you or I might, especially when the police are doing their job.

When police chiefs are dedicated to arresting criminals, as Chief Lovett seems to be, it can make politicians look bad in comparison.

And it also puts the ball squarely in the court of city aldermen, county commissioners, judges and the district attorney to make sure those criminals are actually convicted and put in jail — something which many elected officials are reluctant to do for various reasons.

Police chiefs tend to wield a great deal of power in any circumstance. But a chief of Lovett’s stature, in today’s Savannah, is especially powerful given the rapid recent decline in the overall credibility of many local officials.

Simply put, Chief Lovett is a threat to some people because he is one of the very few local leaders that everyone still trusts. Or almost everyone, apparently.

The ramifications of this particular seismic event are possibly dire. cs

Loved NOLA piece culture

on Tybee, my pretty. by bill deyoung

Editor, Love your article about New Orleans “Who dat say New Orleans ain’t back?” I moved here from Mississippi in March of this year and miss being so close to NOLA. I also respect the plug about the Gulf Coast. We were completely overlooked and most of the country/world still doesn’t know.

The main thing I love about NOLA is the music. There’s nowhere like it in the world.

However, you said New Orleans was the birthplace of American music, which is completely false.

Mississippi is in fact the birthplace of America’s music.

Add it to the list of things MS is overlooked on, but Mississippians are finally wising up and using this to draw tourism dollars from all over the world (birthplaceofamericanmusic.blogspot.com)

Definitely worth looking into and maybe adding to your road trip next time you head to NOLA. Again really enjoyed your article, you nailed it on Frenchmen Street. Keep up the good work.

Joseph Short

Teddy = Hitler!

Editor, Regarding your recent editorial praising Teddy Roosevelt and his environmental concern (“Sacrificing the Ogeechee”): There is another imperialist, expansionist environmentalist you might want to praise while you’re at it: Adolf Hitler, who was also a vegetarian, an avid gardener and a lover of children (some children, I dare say).

The trouble with environmentalists is that many of them are more concerned with the state of the “environment” than they are with the people who live in it. Say-

ing nice things about the environment is now close to sanctifying yourself, and others may not notice what exactly you mean by it, or how deep it really goes.

So–called environmental concerns have been used to accuse countries of misuse of their own land (the American Indians were so accused) in hoped it will sound good enough to excuse a takeover of it by those “better equipped” to care for it!

And as for Roosevelt himself, Howard Zinn in A People’s History of the United States tells us that Roosevelt was contemptuous of races and nations he considered inferior. When a mob in New Orleans lynched a number of Italian immigrants, Roosevelt thought the U.S. should offer the Italian government some remuneration, but privately he wrote his sister that he thought the lynching was “rather a good thing” and told her he had said as much at dinner with “vari-

ous dago diplomats.”

In the spring of 1903, 75,000 textile workers were on strike. Of this number, 10,000 were little children. The workers were striking for better wages and shorter hours. The children were in pitiful condition, some with hands or fingers missing from the accidents with machinery. They were thin and undersized.

They marched through New Jersey and New York and down to Oyster Bay to try and see President Roosevelt. He refused to see them.

From 1901–1921 the presidents were Theodore Roosevelt, Taft and Woodrow Wilson, and whether Democrat or Republican, these leaders watched blacks being lynched, observed murderous riots against blacks in Statesboro, Ga., Brownsville, Texas, and Atlanta and did nothing.

Better health

Just because you’re not sick doesn’t mean you can’t feel better

by Patrick Rodgers | patrick@connectsavannah.com

Dietary supplements might be a multi–billion dollar industry, and ginseng has become a household name in Chinese remedies, but the use of plants and herbs is still a long way from common place in the United States. Roy Upton would like to change that.

For more than three decades Upton has studied herbalism around the globe, from ancient Chinese traditions to Native American practices, and helped to found the American Herbalist Guild, among other notable contributions to domestic naturopathic medicine.

In his free time, he’s also co–authored a book, written numerous articles, and lobbied the federal government not to ban traditional herbs with medicinal uses. On Tuesday, July 26, he’ll be giving a free talk at the Coastal Georgia Center discussing how plant tonics can help optimize personal health, rather than just living doctor visit to doctor visit.

The difference between Eastern & Western medicine: “In Chinese medicine there’s a whole different philosophy that exists in health care than exists in Western medicine.

In western medicine, we’re trying to

treat disease. We don’t think it’s about prevention of health or promotion of vitality. We don’t think about optimizing health. The Western mentality is basically: ‘Wait until its broken and here’s something to fix it.’ The Chinese medicine concept is the opposite.”

Adaptogens: “This is a term that was coined by Russian researchers in the 1950s to describe substances that help the human physiology to adapt to physiological and psychological stresses we face everyday.”

“In the 1960s, there were a bunch of studies done in Russia where they take 200,000 auto workers, and they require them, when they punch into work, to take a Siberian ginseng preparation.

They then require them to take it again at lunchtime. What they found was after only a few months, they saw that the number of work days lost because

of sickness decreased, while the quality and productivity of work more than proportionately increased. They were getting sick less and they were doing more work better.”

Herbs and supplements aren’t outside the law: “For many years conventional medical practitioners would say they weren’t regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. That’s not true.

They’re not regulated in the same way that conventional drugs are regulated by the FDA. A drug, before it’s ever on the market, has to be approved by the FDA; a supplement does not need to be pre– approved. The reason it doesn’t need to be pre–approved is because we’ve been eating broccoli for 150 years. No one has to petition the FDA to approve the safety and efficacy of broccoli. Chamomile tea has been used for 1,000 years.”

United Methodist Church

Controlling your health: “I’m a very strong advocate of self health care. The whole idea about prevention is to educate ourselves about what we need in order to stay healthy.

It used to be that every mother, every auntie, every grandmother knew about herbal medicine. They knew what tea to drink when they had an upset stomach.

Unfortunately, in Western medicine, we’re stuck between the doc and the emergency room. We don’t integrate this world of other options.” cs Lecture: Roy Upton When: Tuesday, July 26, 7 p.m.

“The law we got passed was a reaction to the FDA’s attempt to take a lot of supplements off the market. In 1990, FDA proposed regulations that said all herbs whose only known use is for medicinal purposes shall be regulated as drugs. Back then if you went through an FDA process to approve a drug, it cost $231 million. Now it costs $750 million. Nobody is ever going to spend that kind of money on chamomile tea or Echinacea.

What happens when mayoral candidates gather at a liquor store?

by Patrick Rodgers | patrick@connectsavannah.com

The municipal elections might still be four months away, but the campaign season is getting into full swing. Gardens of colorful candidate signs have bloomed at various intersections, while the candidates themselves zig zag from neighborhood meetings to meet and greets.

Last week, several mayoral candidates attended a meet and greet event at a rather unlikely location – the Five Points liquor store on Skidaway Road.

The event was organized by the stores’ owners Tom Paxton and Dee Bowers in order to give “regular folks” an opportunity to speak with candidates in a less formal environment.

The sight of local politicians mulling around a table by the cash register came as a surprise to many customers. Several seemed concerned, turning around and heading back out the door.

“We definitely didn’t expect that,” Paxton said during the event.

There was some good dialogue, though.

Among the topics of conversation were the fate of Savannah River Landing (expect more problems before any substantive progress), food trucks and workforce development programs.

“This is about accessibility,” said Jeff Felser about why he chose to attend.

Also present were Regina Thomas, Floyd Adams and Ellis Cook’s wife Christy (he was attending a funeral, but she attended in his place).

Edna Jackson had a scheduling conflict and didn’t attend.

As much as it might have been about talking to constituents, the crowded field of candidates, all of whom boast past political experience at the state or local level, are searching for an edge over the competition.

Thomas said “inclusivity” will be the key to success, particularly following the divisiveness of the City Manager hiring process and other issues council has faced.

There is a “misconception about what the mayor’s job is,” says the former State Senator.

“The buck stops on the second floor [in Council’s chamber], not the fourth floor [at the City Manager’s office].”

“It’s about believability,” says Floyd Adams, who served as mayor prior to the current administration and thinks he’s got what it takes for another go–round. “It’s no ego trip. It’s about delivery of services.”

Currently serving on the school board, Adams would like to see the city and the school system develop a better working relationship, particularly for a joint program that would provide job training to re–engage high school drop outs.

That’s as far as he wants to go into specific ideas though until closer to the election, a sentiment echoed by the rest of the field as well.

There are words like “change” being thrown around, but most candidates want to play their hands close to their vests until after the summer for fear that their opponents might undermine their platforms.

The other side of the coin is that with several more months of campaigning and rhetoric that’s short on specifics, candidates risk losing the attention of people already exhausted by the perceived ineffectiveness of local and national politics.

Without much substance from politicians yet, but no shortage of posturing, the most important lesson might be that political campaigns are still influenced by people outside the political sphere.

Bowers and Paxton saw an opportunity and made it happen by reaching out and inviting the candidates to their store without involving bureaucracy.

“People were calling all week,” said Bowers. “A lot of them were surprised we could do this without going through a city department.”

Although a few community centers and neighborhood associations have already started hosting candidate forums, there is a need for more opportunities between now and November for people to get to know the candidates, particularly as they start unveiling specific action plans in late August or early September. cs

Getting crowded?

VisitSavannah, the marketing arm of the Convention and Visitors Bureau, released a new study on local tourism last week that shows Savannah’s tourism industry is thriving.

11 million people visited Savannah in 2010 according to the study, part of which was carried out by Longwoods International, a firm that does market research for destination cities.

If the number of visitors is accurate, that would mean that Savannah drew nearly three times as many visitors as Charleston last year. Chuck Town drew 4.2 million visitors in 2010, according to a study conducted by the College of Charleston.

The issue of how visitor numbers are calculated has been under scrutiny lately after New York City and Orlando were in a battle for the country’s “Most Visited City.”

In the most recent volley, Orlando reported a total of 51 million visitors, making it the first city in the country to top 50 million visitors per year (compared to New York’s 48.7 million).

In a June blog post about the lack of standardization in how visitor data is tabulated, Longwoods’ Director of Research told the Wall Street Journal that determining where people actually visit “gets murky unless you show people maps or follow people around.”

The company uses online surveys asking people where they’ve visited recently and then extrapolates the results. They survey about 2 million people per year, according to their website.

A little history was made (or re–made) last week when crews restoring two World War II era B–17 bombers communicated via the planes’ radio systems for the first time ever.

The City of Savannah, the B–17 being restored at the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum in Pooler, transmitted messages to a crew aboard the Miss Liberty, a bomber being restored at the Barksdale Air Force Base near Shreveport, Louisiana.

Last Wednesday, speakers were set up outside of the City of Savannah so that a crowd of guests and museum visitors could listen in on the conversation. It was the first time two restoration crews have communicated via original WWII–era radio equipment.

Members from the Coastal Amateur Radio Society of Savannah have been working on the restoration of the radio compartment for the last year and a half. A dozen radio operators have actively spent hundreds of hours acquiring, restoring and installing original radio equipment in the vintage aircraft.

What a meth Following two meth lab busts last week, the Chatham County Counter Narcotics Team (CNT) issued a statement asking that citizens be aware that if anyone asks you to buy pseudoephedrine for them, you shouldn’t, even if he or she offers to pay you.

Purchasing the drug for someone else could lead to a charge of Conspiracy to Manufacture Meth, a felony in Georgia, if the purchase is linked to meth lab activity.

Pseudoephedrine, commonly found in over–the–counter nasal decongestant, is a key ingredient in methamphetamine, but laws restricting its purchase have forced criminals to recruit shoppers to act on their behalf.

Recent laws require pharmacies to record information about people purchasing products containing pseudoephedrine, which has lead meth cooks to pay strangers to buy boxes of pills for them.

Meth has what might be the longest and most bizarre list of slang names of any narcotic. According to the website KCI.org, names include: Crank, Crystal, Glass, Albino poo, Biker dope, Billy, Boo–yah, Crysnax, Debbie, Tina, Fizz Wizz, Gab, Gackle–a Fackle–a, Gak, High Speed Chicken Feed, Hillbilly crack, Jet fuel, Linda, Methatrim, Ned, Ratchet Jaw, Sparkle, Spook, Sprack, Tweak, Ugly dust, Yammer bammer and Zoom, to name just a few. cs

Chatham Police Dept. incident reports

Entirely too much gun violence

A man shot himself in the foot after an altercation with a woman in a restaurant parking lot. The woman told police that the argument began when the suspect banged his car door into her vehicle.

Things became heated and the suspect threatened her. She backed up to get his tag number when he fired shots at her (and the three small children in her car). The suspect showed up at the hospital later with a gun shot wound to his foot. He told police that the woman had blocked his truck and would not let him leave the area. He went inside the restaurant to ask for help and the back and forth with the woman continued, so he pulled his gun. A shot went off inside the truck (the one that hit him in the foot), and then he fired two shots at the car. He couldn’t say whether he’d hit the

woman’s car or not. No one was injured, except the suspect. He was charged with aggravated assault.

• Two men were shot during an incident that police described as a “marijuana and poker party.” The men were taken to the hospital by the woman who lived in the residence where the shooting occurred. The trio was in the house, which contained “a large amount of marijuana” and some drug paraphernalia, when three men kicked in the door and attempted to rob them.

A struggle ensued, during which time the two men were shot. One of the men was on parole for trafficking marijuana.

Police are looking for one man with a white handkerchief across his face and a white t–shirt and a second man dressed in all black. The victims were treated for non–life–threatening injuries.

• A 32 year old man was hospitalized after being shot during a robbery attempt in West Savannah. The victim was walking with a lady friend when they were approached by a group of men who demanded money. The victim

said he had no money and then slapped his pockets to demonstrate their emptiness. One of the assailants started firing shots and then they all ran off. The group jumped in a white SUV and drove off.

• An 18 year old man was charged with armed robbery, obstruction, criminal trespass and theft after a home invasion on 39th Street one evening. Neighbors called police to report two men who appeared to break into a house. Officers found suspects matching their description walking down the middle of the street a few blocks away. One of the suspects took off running when police pulled up. He sprinted through backyards, hopped a fence and was about to hop a second fence, which then snapped and threw him to the ground.

At the site of the break–in, two 16 year old girls said the men had entered the home, grabbed one by the hair, slapped the other, and then said they were going to look for things to take. One of them

had a gun. Both the girls declined medical treatment for their injuries.

They told police the young men had taken a gun from the residence, but no weapon was recovered.

• Police ruled that two men who died of gunshot wounds in a North Baldwin Circle residence shot one another after an argument over drugs.

One of the men was found dead inside the residence, and the second died the next morning at the hospital. A third man had driven himself to the hospital with a gunshot wound, but was released two days later. He had been caught in the cross fire between the other two men. There were two small children in the house at the time of the shooting.

They were unharmed, and were released to their mother at the scene. cs Give anonymous crime tips to Crimestoppers at 234-2020

news of the weird Lead Story

The New York Yankees’ Derek Jeter achieved his milestone 3,000th major league hit in July, and Steiner Sports Marketing of New Rochelle, N.Y., was ready (in partnership with the Yankees and Major League Baseball). Dozens of items from the game were offered to collectors, including the bases ($7,500 each), 30 balls used during the game ($2,000 each, unsigned), and even Jeter’s sweaty socks ($1,000). Steiner had also collected five gallons of dirt (under supervision, to assure authenticity), and uberfans can buy half-ounce containers of clay walked upon by Jeter during the game (from the shortstop area and the right-hand batter’s box) -- for a not-dirt-cheap $250 each.

Compelling Explanations

• Military veteran Joshua Price, 26, was arrested in March after police in a Chicago suburb found child pornography and 1,700 photos of dismembered women on his computer, but at a court hearing in May, Price explained that his photographs were a necessary escape from war-related trauma. In fact, Price told prosecutors that were it not for the distracting photos, his stress disorder would surely have caused him to kill his wife and two daughters. (Prosecutors accepted that Price’s crime was a “cry for help,” but the judge, less impressed, quadrupled Price’s bail, to $1 million.)

• According to a bailiff, convicted car thief Thomas Done, 33, spent almost a half-hour at his June sentencing “shucking and jiving” Ogden, Utah, Judge Michael Lyon before finally finagling probation (instead of 15 years in prison) -- by expressing parental love for his young daughter and blaming his recidivist criminality on his girlfriend’s infidelity.

However, literally seconds after Judge Lyon announced probation, Done, noticing his girlfriend in the courtroom, made a gun-triggering motion with his thumb and fingers and said, “Boom, bitch.” A bailiff reported the gesture to the judge, who declared Done in violation of his brand-new probation and ordered him re-sentenced.

• Initially, all Jay Rodgers wanted was for the fellow Atlanta gas station customer to say “thank you” when Rodgers held the door for him, but the man remained silent, and Rodgers confronted him and even followed the man out to his car -- where the man pulled a gun and shot Rodgers in the abdomen, sending him to the hospital for nine days. cs By chuck shepherd UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

I’ve heard Australia contains more things that can kill you than anywhere on the planet. I live in suburban Sydney and have personally encountered funnel web spiders, redback spiders, red-bellied black snakes, and a blue-ringed octopus.

But are we Aussies really blessed with more lethal fauna? —Christine Moffat I too had heard boasts about Australia’s dangerous wildlife, and was quite content to believe it was the most noxious pesthole on earth. However, my assistant Una felt Oz’s creeping perils were all bark and no bite. Declining my offer to airdrop her into the outback to investigate personally, she proposed the next best thing: a book-off.

I knew my weapon of choice: travel writer Bill Bryson’s entertaining volume about Australia, In a Sunburned Country (2000). Bryson lovingly catalogs the many horrors infesting the land down under, leading him to declare it “the most extraordinarily lethal country.”

Pulling out my copy, I recounted the notable vermin for Una’s benefit: • First, at least 14 different types of poisonous snake, including the taipan, the most toxic land snake known. Una groused that by Bryson’s own admission the last fatal taipan bite was in 1989.

• Next, spiders. These include the funnel web spider, which Bryson claims is “the most poisonous insect in the world.” Una noted that spiders aren’t insects but arachnids. Whatever you call them, I retorted, they’re murderous little bastards, responsible for at least 13 deaths. Meanwhile, the redback spider, a relative of our American black widow, has slain at least 14.

Tragic, said Una calmly. But all 13 funnel web fatalities happened before 1980, and all 14 redback deaths occurred before 1955. In other words, the danger in affluent Australia is largely theoretical. If we consider actual body count—snakebite deaths, say—we find Australia isn’t even in the top ten worldwide. India has a mortality rate at

least 30 times as high. Australia has less than a quarter the venomous bite rate of southeast Asia or sub-Saharan Africa.

• Never mind, I said, let’s turn to aquatic monstrosities. To hear Bryson tell it, on some Australian coasts merely dipping a toe in the water will result in certain death. You’ve got box jellyfish, snotty jellyfish, poisonous sea snails.

There are stinging coral, sea snakes, stonefish, lionfish, and scorpion fish.

Giant groupers. The blue-ringed octopus. And let’s not overlook sharks.

• Other menaces include the cassowary, a large flightless bird capable of administering a fatal kick to the neck.

I concede middle-class white people spook easily, said Una. However, consider South America, specifically the Amazon—there’s my idea of scary.

She produced David Grann’s The Lost City of Z (2009), about the search for a mythological El Dorado in Brazil. Never mind the cannibals, she said. Here’s a land where you can be crushed by anacondas, eaten by piranha, and jolted by electric eels. Angry wild pigs roam the forests; frogs are deadly to the touch.

But it’s bugs that give the region its charm, she continued. Poisonous flesheating fire ants can drive you mad or strip you to the bone. Berne flies deposit their eggs under your skin, which turn into hungry wriggling larvae. Cyanidesquirting millipedes, flesh-eating bees.

Una, I said, these vermin are indeed worrisome if you’re dumb enough to flit through the rain forest. But it’s unfair of you to suggest Australia’s reputation stems solely from bourgeois paranoia.

Remember those deadly funnel web spiders? The deadliest variety is found only within 100 miles of Sydney.

And humans don’t always escape.

The fearsome saltwater crocodile eats an Australian every year or two, and likely holds the record for most people killed by animals at one go. During the Battle of Ramree Island in 1945, British forces chased 1,000 Japanese soldiers into a croc-infested swamp. No more than 20 were taken prisoner; hundreds were eaten alive. OK, that was off the coast of Burma, not Australia. Close enough.

Feh, said Una. You’ve forgotten about a certain South American fish with a horrifying talent. I speak of the urology exam administered by the. . .

Crap, I said, crossing my legs. The candiru. Exactly, said Una. Consider yourself pwned.

What could I say? Australia is a dangerous place, Christine. But we live in a dangerous world. cs

BECOMING THE ARCHETYPE

With To Speak of Wolves At 7 p.m. Friday, July 22 City Church, 125 MLK You have to admit, the phrase “Christian death metal” feels just a tad ... oxymoronic? But this Georgia–based hardcore band plays exactly that. BTA is also incredibly popular, and is considered one of American metal’s most progressive bands, using instruments as diverse as horns and Indian sitars to augment their (increasingly non–traditional) pile–driving wall–o–guitars sound.

According to Brent Duckett, the band’s drummer: “The name comes from the Biblical principle that we were created in God’s image. And, we were called to be conformed to His image. Archetype means the intended form. The Christ is the best of the best.”

Guitarist and singer/songwriter Seth Hecox recently told an interviewer: “Our relationship with Jesus Christ works and moves through everything we do, especially our music and lyrics. But taking a narrow focus on faith only alienates people. Exploring what true faith means in the context of tough issues provides a lot of meat for lyrics especially ... As Christians, we believe in a wholistic approach to living and enjoying life, and that includes the fact that we’re organic beings, we’re spiritual beings and we have no place giving over our joy as humans to serve machines or discarding the body to elevate the mind.” See celestialcompletition.com

Burgess is a singing actor who’s been in the original casts of the Broadway hits Jersey Boys (Hal Miller), The Little Mermaid (Sebastian the Crab) and Guys and Dolls (in the recent successful revival, he played Nicely Nicely Johnson).

He also originated the role of Eddie in the Beach Boys musical Good Vibrations, which wasn’t a hit.

Not a bad track record, considering that this Athens native (and UGA music grad) left for New York only seven years ago, armed with a wing and a prayer – and an astonishing four–octave vocal range.

He’s recently become a fan favorite on TV’s 30 Rock, as D’fwan, sassy– mouthed sidekick to Sherri Shepherd’s Angie.

Burgess is in Savannah this week, conducing master classes with the students at the Savannah Summer Theatre Institute. And he’ll perform in concert, backed by a jazz trio, on Tuesday, July 26 at Savannah Country Day School (it’s called Tituss Burgess: Backdrop).

Here’s the Savannah connection (other than the fact that he’s got a lot of friends here): Burgess won the silver medal in the American Traditions vocal competition in 2002 and 2003.

His first professional gig was in The Festival of The Lion King at Walt Disney World in Florida..

We spoke with him this week.

American Traditions Tituss Burgess sings this week at Savannah Country Day School

Star on the rise

With a four-octave range, singer Tituss Burgess may be Georgia’s Next Big Thing

by Bill DeYoung | bill@connectsavannah.com

Unless you’re a musical theater aficionado who’s spent a lot of time in Broadway theaters, you probably don’t know the name Tituss Burgess. That might very well change, and soon.

“The first time, I was still a senior in college. By the second time, I had quit my job at Disney World and thought ‘If I win some money to move to New York, then it’s meant to be.’ And I gotta be honest, the second time I did not think I deserved to win – my allergies were so terrible. The climate change from Orlando to Savannah was pretty severe.”

New York “People will hate me when I tell this story, but I never waited a single table.

I got an agent right away. It did take a year and a half to get the casting directors used to me – my voice is a tad odd.

It has a bizarrely wide upper register that most men don’t have. In terms of register, I can out–sing most women.

But ignorance on some levels is bliss. I walked into some of these auditions not knowing the first thing about audition etiquette or what was appropriate to sing, or not to sing.”

Guys and Dolls “I had never done what we call a classical musical theater, particularly because my brand of storytelling is so contemporary. I thought it would be a piece of cake. It was not. And I’ll say this: While I appreciate being handed roles on Broadway without auditioning, this was one show I should have been mandated to audition for. Because I, even to this day, don’t believe I was right for that role. It was re–set in the 1930s in New York City, where the original Damon Runyon stories were set, and there were no other African American principals. So I found it extremely tedious to legitimize my presence among all those white people. That just would not have happened. I wrestled with that the entire time.”

Master classes “I hesitate to tell people about my own experiences, unless it’s just for conversation’s sake. I don’t like to tell that story, because people will use that as par for the course. I’m the exception, not the rule. I didn’t have to do certain things.”

The Savannah concert “These aren’t randomly selected songs, but rather organized chaos. All these songs, in some capacity, have underscored my experience here in New York. So I’ll tell the story that was my story at the time that I came to know the song.”

30 Rock “They call it a semi–recurring character. I don’t really know what that’s supposed to mean. But they talk about me even when I’m not on the show – so I’m hoping that they figure out that they can’t do without me! But it was the most magical experience. Tina Fey is an absolutely generous person. Sherri Shepherd is probably the most amazing scene partner I’ve ever had. And at the conclusion of my stint on there, Alec Baldwin pulled me aside and said ‘Thank you for knowing what they hell you’re doing.’” CS Tituss Burgess: Backdrop Where: Savannah Country Day School Auditorium, 824 Stillwood Drive When: At 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 26 Tickets: $12 Online: savannahsummertheatre.com

Somewhere over Lazaretto Creek The Tybee Arts Performing Society goes the full tornado with The Wizard of Oz

by Bill DeYoung | bill@connectsavannah.com

What happens in Tybee stays in Tybee.

Or so it might have seemed in the past, with the island and Savannah theater communities operating more or less independently of one another.

Yet the Tybee Arts Association’s production of The Wizard of Oz, opening July 22, is so big, so colorful and so ambitious, it’s quite likely to take center stage as the main attraction of Chatham County’s summer season.

According to board president Renee DeRossett, who’s co–directing this Wizard (she also plays the Cowardly Lion), the two–weekend production

has a cast of 60 people. “There are scads of munchkins, and more Emerald City citizens than most,” DeRossett explains.

“In the munchkin scene, we have children and adult munchkins. Some of the older kids are doubling as the flying monkeys. And the voices are amazing.”

Add to this elaborate costumes and sets, professionally–rendered video production inserts and special effects, satellite stages, live animals and the return to thespianism of Tybee’s former representative to the Georgia House, and the Association feels pretty certain

it’s got a winner on its busy little hands.

DeRossett’s group has had some major successes in the past few years, including Steel Magnolias, The Curious Savage and the female version of Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple.

Not that’s it’s been an easy road – yellow brick or otherwise.

The non–profit Tybee Arts Association was incorporated in 1996. “Then it was mainly the artists that got together,” says DeRossett, “just to have a body. Because there were a lot of artists out here.

But artists make money for themselves – they weren’t making a lot of money for the association.

“So we started doing plays to make money, to buy easels and things. And we really make most of our money from the shows – that’s why we call it the Tybee Arts Performing Society.”

TAPS, for short.

Over the last decade, however, “We had some problems with the arts festival. It got so huge, and we had a lot of out of town artists coming in. The local artists kind of split away and said ‘That’s just not what we want.’ So we’re going back to the basics with that, and getting our artists back involved.”

Since 2005 or so, she says, “the theatrical productions have been the

And so we come to summer 2011.

“Back in 2005, a production of Alice in Wonderland netted $20,000,” DeRossett says. “So I thought to myself, ‘All right, what can we do – something big – to make our money to get our building up to code?’

“And that’s why we’re doing Wizard of Oz. We can seat over 200 people per show in the gym.”

Another precedent was Eddie Wilson’s original musical The Treasure of Lefty the Pirate in 2009. Featuring an all–Tybee cast and crew, the show (presented in the gym) was a huge success.

All four performances were packed,

American Academy of Dramatic Arts,” Day explains. “Prior to that, in high school, I starred in some musicals. And that’s where I met my wife Sally.”

Just before entering politics, he produced several shows in the Atlanta area.

Day says he was “sold” on the elaborate plans laid out by DeRossett and her co–director Kim Trammell (she’s playing the Wicked Witch).

“What I’m excited about is the level of creativity that I’ve seen so far. This is a dream come true for me. For years I was going ‘One day, there’ll be a good Tybee theater group.’ And it happened when I was gone.

“So when I got back, it was a pleasant surprise.”

Jim Stone (CEO) and Scott Jacobs (chief creative officer) are doing the work for free, along with director Brad Kremer.

“We absolutely love Tybee, and Savannah,” Stone says. “Scott and I both moved our families here, our businesses here. I don’t absolutely love the politics in Tybee, but I love the people and the place.

“We try to give back. Every year, we work with a couple of non–profits. So we do a fair bit of pro bono work in the community – people that normally couldn’t afford our services.”

Stone is thrilled about his company’s role in The Wizard of Oz. “Specifically, we’re going to film the characters in costume, on green screen,” he says. “And then we’re going to morph them from one character into another – Miss Gulch morphs into the Wicked Witch. We’re going to turn Congressman Day into the all–powerful Oz! “We’re going to have some fun with it.” CS The Wizard of Oz Where: Tybee Island Gym, Butler Avenue and 5th Street, Tybee Island When: At 7:30 p.m. July 22, 23, 29, 30; 3 p.m. July 24 and 31 Admission: $20 public, $12 children age 12 and under, $18 for Tybee Arts Association members Additional info: tybeearts.org

Smoke signals from Pooler

A sampler plate at Dickey’s Barbecue pit

One of my foodie field operatives tipped me off to a new BBQ joint in Pooler that he claimed was worth the drive.

I didn’t have to twist his arm too hard to tag along as we steered the foodie wagon west one recent Saturday.

Dickey’s Barbecue Pit is a Texas–based franchise. Now, I’m not typically partial to corporate ’cue, but will admit that Dickey’s is going to garner some attention from folks in Pooler — and it’s worth a trip to sample for yourself.

The fast casual concept is designed by an assembly line sub sandwich place –– queue up, choose your meats, choose your sides, pay and have a seat. Beverages are self serve, you dip deep into a gallon jar for a whole dill pickle. You can soothe your sweet tooth by crafting your own soft serve ice cream cone after the meal –– free.

But let’s be honest: A barbecue restaurant has to stand on the integrity of its meats. Dickey’s uses a pair of big stainless steel Olde Hickory brand smokers from which they pull pork shoulder, ribs, beef brisket, ham, chicken, turkey and two kinds

of sausage.

I chose a Two–meat Plate (any two meats, excludes ribs), that includes a nice yeasty roll, onion and sliced pickles and any two side dishes.

My two meats were chopped beef brisket and pulled pork. Each meat was moist and nicely smokey –– there was plenty of texture, taste and hickory laced satisfaction in each bite. The brisket carries a thick, jet black crust of herbs and spices that adds another layer of flavor.

My barbecue beans were standard fare –– and a generous portion. Baked Potato Casserole topped with shredded cheddar cheese and sliced green onions was a surprising combination of flavors and a genuinely satisfying, different approach to the starch side of the meal.

My friend ordered smoked turkey. That, and the brisket, were sliced in front of us. Chopped meats are sliced, then chopped fresh. His turkey was moist and, again, delightfully smokey.

No alcohol, but the self–serve beverage bar features a giant yellow cup. A kid’s menu and family packs will take care of little diners –– and those wanting a quick and easy carryout barbecue feast.

Aussie renaissance

The Australians whetted American’s palate for Shiraz decades ago with a line up of inexpensive wines. The wines bore novelty labels, giving wine drinkers an often fun, insider’s perspective of the wine maker’s sense of humor.

As the Down Under wine industry burgeoned, the wines became whipping posts. Huge production and cookie cutter tastes soured critics as well evolving consumers.

The good news is that the Aussie wine industry is trying to regain a foothold, emphasizing smaller production wines that feature more care and handling. Sure, price tags crept up — but there are still plenty of Aussie bargains that drink bigger than the price.

Where better to start than the storied Barossa region of South Australia? There, a collaboration between world renowned winery Hentley Farms and their American Importer Vine Street Imports aims to produce a range of wines that display all of the flavors that South Australia can deliver at a price that won’t break the bank.

Boxhead 2009 Shiraz pulls its spicy, smokey characteristics from the gnarly soil that overlays shattered limestone slopes. Even with a solid rainfall record, these well–drained soils force vines to dig deep for moisture and nutrition — and that kind of workout leads to a luscious and well–developed mouthful of rich fruit.

It’s a perfect wine to sip by itself while coaxing out a veritable catalog of aromas and flavors. Otherwise, consider it a wine to pair with fatty, grilled beef, like a rib–eye steak, or sharp cheeses.

Boxhead 200 White is an anomaly in a region known for warmth and red wine production, but Barossa also has an abundance of cool climate fruit, with longer ripening periods and extended flavor development. And a mouthful of flavor is what you get from this blend of 50 percent Chardonnay, 40 percent Semillon, 10 percent Sauvignon Blanc.

Like all good dry whites, this wine displays great complexity of aromatics, moving from citrus through ripe tropical fruits, with specifics of lemon, grapefruit, passion fruit and melon. It’s an intense fruit bowl with lingering flavors of lychee and lime.

The wine sees no oak and does not go through malolactic fermentation, which makes it a bright, crisp wine that’s perfect for shellfish, fried or grilled fish and creamy cheeses.

Serve well chilled –– and it’s also great to sip by the pool. cs

Patterson Hood and Drive-By Truckers are coming to the Trustees Theater

Drive-By Truckers A perennial southeastern favorite, Drive–By Truckers are coming back to Savannah to play a Trustees Theater show Sept. 8. Tickets are on sale now for $25, and they’re general admission.

Get them at scadboxoffice.com, or at (912) 525–5050, or at the Trustees box office.

Patterson Hood and company are touring behind the rockin’ Go–Go Boots album, which takes them in a more muscular rock ‘n’ soul, Muscle Shoals direction, with a side order of old–school country.

Shows at GSU Georgia Southern University (Statesboro) has announced its fall–and–beyond performing arts series. These are nationally–touring shows, some of which ought to do really well in Savannah if some enterprising local theater or promoter would just get on the stick (hint, hint).

Here’s the deal: Sept. 9: 100 Years of Broadway. The top touring Broadway revue in the country features five stage stars and a jazz/pop orchestra conducted by Neil Berg, who wrote the show and has been traveling around with it for years.

Oct. 6: Capitol Steps. One can’t hang out in Washington, D.C. for very long without hearing political scuttlebutt, rumors, gossip and snarky remarks. These guys write very funny songs about it.

Nov. 19: Kathy Mattea. This classic country singer put on an impressive show during the 2009 Savannah Music Festival.

Jan. 22: Marvin Hamlisch. Yes, he’s

one of the most successful songwriters of the last 30 years. The recipient of three Oscars, four Grammys, four Emmys, a Tony and three Golden Globes will present a show called The American Songbook.

Feb. 23: The American Boychoir. Forget those Viennese sopranos, this is our country’s most successful concert boys choir (grades 4 through 8).

March 3: Women of Ireland. One of those perennial Celtic musical celebrations, with Siobhan Manson from Riverdance; Zoe Conway, a champion Irish fiddle player, vocalists Michelle Lally, Ingrid Madsen and Denise Brennan.

April 1: South Pacific. It’s Rodgers, it’s Hammerstein, and it never gets old. It’s the 2008 Lincoln Center revival version.

Just imagine: Bali Hai in Statesboro.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part Two

Right out of the gate, let’s make it known that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 doesn’t suffer a precipitous fall as many final chapters are wont to do. Nobody exiting the theater will be recalling sour memories of, say, The Matrix Revolutions or X–Men: The Last Stand or any other heavily hyped send–off that left the faithful feeling angry and betrayed. Rather, a series that has gotten it right since Day One has maintained its integrity and commitment to quality to the very end, and appreciative audiences will leave with a heady mix of jubilation and remorse.

Is that laying it on a bit too thick? You tell me. The adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s first Potter novel hit movie theaters back in 2001; all told, there have been eight movies over an 11–year span, enough of a chunk of time to serve as the cultural touchstone for an entire generation (much as the original Star Wars trilogy was to mine).

Even those of us ahead of the growing curve have taken pride in the pleasant manner in which the series leads – Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger – have sprouted from adorable little moppets to strik-

ing young adults.

As for the supporting ranks, who among us hasn’t thrilled at seeing the cream of the British film empire turn up in richly defined character roles, whether for one film (Kenneth Branagh) or for all eight (Maggie Smith)? (And don’t fret about those who didn’t make the cut: Most of them popped up in the Lord of the Rings saga.)

We all have our favorite Potter lead (I always liked Hermione’s spunk and smarts), favorite Potter ally (Robbie Coltrane’s Hagrid, a perpetual delight), favorite Potter foil (Alan Rickman’s wickedly played Severus Snape), favorite Potter continues on p. 28

TROLL HUNTER (2011, Norway) This surprise European horror hit is already being remade as a big-budget Hollywood blockbuster. Now you can see the original (in Norwegian with English Subtitles) on the big screen! Clever, funny and genuinely scary, it's a fresh spin on an old-fashioned "giant monster movie."

student (Evanna Lynch’s out–there Luna Lovegood), and so on.

Similarly, everyone has their favorite Potter film, and for many viewers, this final entry will be that movie. For me, the entire series works so well as a whole, as one continuously flowing entity, that it’s difficult to single one out (forced to choose, I guess I’d go with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire).

To that end, this last chapter is no more and no less exciting than many of the past pictures, even if it does contain the climactic life–or–death match between Harry and Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes). To reach that point, we pick up where Deathly Hallows – Part 1 trailed off – with the death of a diminutive sidekick of Harry’s – and continue with the three friends’ quest to find the Horcruxes that will allow them to possibly defeat Voldemort.

It’s also revealed that Hogwarts is now under the control of Snape, with Death Eaters standing guard outside the castle perimeters. Harry knows that he has to break into the school, a mission that will ultimately provide some surprising answers to the many questions still plaguing him.

Oddly, this is the shortest Potter film of them all (130 minutes), which means that many regulars are only given a fleeting scene or two before being dismissed to their trailers. And while there’s a beautiful moment at which to end the film – a magnificent shot, pulling up and away – it’s followed by a finale that feels protracted and unnecessary (though I understand this was also in the book, so there it is).

And one word of warning: Do not see this in needless 3–D, which darkens many of the scenes and often makes it hard to tell who’s where doing what to whom. The first seven Harry Potter films looked just fine without this cash– grab gimmick, and there’s no reason not to catch this latest installment under the exact same conditions.

Even through the 3–D fog, the visual effects are obviously up to the generally high standards, but as is always the case with this franchise, the interaction among the characters is so compelling that technical artistry places second when tracking this series’ merits. More than ever, Radcliffe is asked to take control of the screen as his boy wizard faces his own demons before finally facing Voldemort, and the talented thespian is up to the task, holding nothing back in an ofttimes ferocious performance.

Fiennes again oozes reptilian menace, while Rickman remains a high point as he deftly handles the saga’s most

complex role.

Beginning as a magical mystery tour for kids and ending as a mature saga about solidarity and sacrifice, the Harry Potter film franchise has spent a decade entertaining global audiences of all ages.

Its run may be over, but like family–film classics from the past, this is one series that’s almost certain to hold future generations equally spellbound.

Horrible Bosses Two–thirds of a very funny movie, Horrible Bosses takes its irresistible premise an admirable distance before pulling a Wrong Way Corrigan and heading in an alternate direction, away from true comic inspiration and toward convention and compromise. Still, there are plenty of laughs to be mined, and in the genre of ribald male–bonding flicks, it won’t cause a hangover like The Hangover Part II. Even folks living in caves have seen the omnipresent trailer, which cleanly explains the situation: Three regular joes (Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis) are sick of the abuse heaped on them by their evil employers (respectively, Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston and Colin Farrell) and decide to murder them. They hire an ex–con named Motherfucker Jones (Jamie Foxx) to do their dirty work, but he informs them that he’ll only serve as a consultant and that they’ll have to do the actual killing. His suggestion: Emulate Alfred Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train (or, as one character amusingly notes, Danny DeVito’s Throw Momma from the Train) by having each fellow bump off another’s boss, thereby reducing the risk of getting caught.

Despite a few clunkers, the jokes are generally tight, and the five actors, especially Spacey and Farrell, are perfect for their roles; only Aniston’s slutty dentist fails to convince, less a fault of the actress than the three screenwriters who don’t know how to write this character so that she makes sense. At any rate, the film works up until the point when the bosses are linked up (no fair revealing how), but instead of using this sequence to expand with the intricate plotting, the writers reveal their limitations by allowing the picture to collapse like a house of cards, serving up a perfunctory final half–hour that’s no match for the bright hour that preceded it.

Horrible Bosses easily earns a commendation, but a bit of overtime on the part of its creative team might have resulted in higher praise.

LARRY CROWNE The new seriocomedy Larry Crowne opens with Tom Hanks’ title character taking so much grinning–idiot pleasure in his job at a retail box store (he’s even cheerful when wiping a kid’s vomit off the mechanical horse out front) that we momentarily suspect the actor has elected to revive Forrest Gump in an unauthorized sequel. But no, Larry Crowne is just that kind of guy – jovial, hardworking, uncomplaining – which makes it a shocker (at least to him) when he’s downsized by a group of corporate caricatures who state that his lack of education makes him expendable in modern–day America.

After failing to land another job, Larry decides to go back to school.

Larry’s escapades at the local community college are, like practically everything else in this film, barely perfunctory as narrative and wholly lacking in any sort of dramatic conflict.

Positioned as a picture about how it’s possible to still succeed in a country that’s been destroyed by rising unemployment rates and soaring gasoline prices, Larry Crowne actually has little basis in reality, with Hanks’ “don’t worry, be happy” protagonist sailing from one existential uptick after another.

He aces his classes, with the other students all gushing over his undeniable genius. And he even cracks the unhappy veneer of one of his teachers, who’s miserable because her husband (Bryan Cranston) spends all day looking at naughty photos on the Internet instead of working (this movie is so timid and afraid to offend that he’s not even looking at hardcore porn, just big–breasted women in bikinis).

Julia Roberts plays this tortured, hard–drinking instructor, and her character is the one most crippled by the feebleness of the script co–written by Hanks and Nia Vardalos. The domestic scenes involving her spouse are undeveloped and unconvincing, as is the notion that she’s supposed to be a lush beaten down by limited opportunities (Bad Teacher’s Cameron Diaz was far more believable in this respect).

Roberts hasn’t been given many opportunities these years to show off her talents, and this picture does little to reverse that trend: Like everyone else in Larry Crowne, she’s only on hand to lavish praise on a dull character who’s hardly worth having his own picture. CS

Between this and Mr. Popper’s Penguins, our animal friends are having an especially bad summer, although their humiliation can’t compare to the torture inflicted on parents forced to take their young kids to see this. Then again, Kevin James’ last solo starring vehicle, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, made a ridiculous $146 million stateside, so it’s obvious his appeal extends beyond the small fry.

Children will certainly take to the notion of talking animals. After being jilted by his girlfriend Stephanie (Leslie Bibb), Griffin (James) spends the next five years burying himself in his work at the zoo, where he’s appreciated by everyone – especially co–worker Kate (Rosario Dawson) – for his sensitive and caring nature with the animals.

But when Stephanie unexpectedly reenters his life, he hopes to win her back. Breaking their code of silence, the zoo animals reveal to Griffin that all creatures can talk but don’t, because humans couldn’t handle it. Yet it’s clear to these critters that Griffin needs all the help he can get, so they teach him how to woo Stephanie.

Joe the lion (voiced by Sylvester Stallone) insists he must be strong and confront her other suitor (a grating performance by former Fear Factor host Joe Rogan). Janet the lioness (Cher) suggests that he make her jealous by lavishing attention on other women.

The bickering bears (Jon Favreau and Faizon Love) claim he must strut and growl. Thankfully, he ignores the advice of Donald the Monkey (Adam Sandler): “Throw poop at her.”

The screenplay cobbled together by five writers (including James himself, as well as the duo who worked on Norbit and the upcoming Smurfs project) curiously spends a lot more time on Griffin’s bland romantic woes than on the animals, although there is a protracted subplot in which Griffin bonds with a lonely gorilla named Bernie (Nick Nolte!) by taking him to (shameless product placement alert) TGI Friday’s.

But with Sandler pal Frank Coraci (The Waterboy) in the director’s chair, it’s no wonder the film occasionally lapses into unnecessary crudity: Witness the bizarre scene in which Ken Jeong, who’s apparently only capable of playing effeminate freaks (The Hangover, the latest Transformers, etc.), claims his arms are too numb to retrieve car keys from his own pocket and orders Griffin to stick his hand in there and feel around for them. Try

explaining that scene to the tots, Mom and Dad.

“Sum Sudoku” Put one digit from 1-9 in each square of this Sudoku so that the following three conditions are met: 1) each row, column, and 3x3 box (as marked off by heavy lines in the grid) contains the digits 1–9 exactly one time; 2) no digit is repeated within any of the areas marked off by dotted lines; and 3) the sums of the numbers in each area marked off by dotted lines total the little number given in each of those areas. For example, the digits in the upper-leftmost square in the grid and the square directly beneath it will add up to 6. Now do what I tell you -- solve!! psychosudoku@hotmail.com

ARIES

(March 21–April 19) I dreamed you were in a cake store. Every delicious kind of cake you could imagine was there: carrot cake, strawberry cheesecake, gooey butter cake, rich chocolate cake with four layers of cherries and whipped cream, birthday cakes that must have been baked in paradise. Sadly, there was a problem: You weren’t allowed to buy anything, even though you had enough money. A big sign on the wall said, simply, “Absolutely no cakes available for Aries.” What do you think my dream means? More importantly, what are you going to do about the situation? I suggest that in my next dream, you get a friend to buy a cake for you. Either that, or go to a different cake store.

One way or another, the astrological omens say it’s high time for you get the cake you want.

TAURUS

(April 20–May 20) Fill in the blanks, Taurus. Don’t let the blanks remain vacant and barren any longer. Don’t allow them to keep screaming at you with their accusatory silence. Just fill in the freaking blanks with whatever you’ve got to fill them with –– with your best guesses, with borrowed mojo, with any miscellaneous material you have at hand. I realize you may be tempted to wait around for a supposedly more ideal moment. But I’m here to tell you that this is as ideal as it gets.

So please express the hell out of yourself in the empty spaces, my dear; create yourself anew in the void –– however improvisational or inexact it might feel.

GEMINI

(May 21–June 20) “Do you know how to resolve an unresolvable paradox?” asked a Facebook friend named Pi. He answered his own question: “You figure out the ‘error’ in the initial premise or assumption.”

And that’s my prescription for you this week, Gemini. Do not be tempted to bang your head against the wall so as to shake loose a non–existent answer to the wrong question. Instead, stop yourself in the middle of your angst and think: “What would be a more productive way to formulate the riddle I need to untangle?”

CANCER

(June 21–July 22) An innovative job–seeker named

Travis Broyles put an ad on Craigslist in Atlanta. Among the tasks he said he would perform for money were the following: draw your face on a balloon; email you a list of 250 things he likes about you; build you a cardboard car and make vroom–vroom sounds while you drive it; change his political leanings; rename your Pokemon; or provide you with star treatment for a month, hiding in the bushes like a paparazzi and taking candid photos of you. I recommend that you come up with your own version of a list like this, Cancerian. It will help stimulate your imagination about what gifts you have to offer the world, which is exactly what the astrological omens are suggesting.

LEO

(July 23–Aug. 22) As I ponder your immediate future, I’m reminded of a scene from the animated TV show The Simpsons. Here’s the situation: While visiting the home of a colleague, the superintendent of schools is surprised to witness an anomalous outbreak of spectacular light.

“Aurora Borealis?” he exclaims.

“At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country?

Localized entirely within your kitchen?” “Yes,” replies the colleague. I suspect that you will soon enjoy a metaphorically comparable visitation, Leo.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23–Sept. 22) My astrological colleague Antero Alli praises the value of anxiety. He says that when you feel that unsettling emotion, it’s because you’re experiencing more uncertainty than you like to –– and that can be a good thing. It could mean you’re about to experience the fertility that comes from wading into the unknown. An outbreak of novelty may be imminent, giving you the chance to welcome interesting surprises into your life. In fact, says Alli, the anxiety that comes from unpredictable mysteries may herald the arrival of an influx of creativity.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23–Oct. 22) “The I Ching counsels that if we are associating with others who are not our true peers,” says astrologer Caroline Casey, “our real allies cannot find us.” Please apply this test to yourself, Libra. If, after taking inventory, you find that your circle is largely composed

of cohorts and comrades who match your levels of vitality and intelligence, that will be excellent news; it will signal an opportunity to begin working on an upgraded version of your social life that will increase your access to synergy and symbiosis even further. But if your survey reveals that you’re hanging out too much with people whose energy doesn’t match yours, it will be time for a metamorphosis.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23–Nov. 21) There’s a lot of graffiti scrawled in a variety of languages on St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. A fairly recent arrival is a plea, in English, to resuscitate a defunct American TV sitcom. “God, Bring back Arrested Development,” the guerrilla prayer reads. According to my reading of the astrological omens, Scorpio, now would be a good time for you to be equally cheeky in promoting one of your pet causes. Consider the possibility of taking your case to a higher authority. To fight for what’s right, you may have to make your mark in a place whose sphere of influence is bigger than yours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22–Dec. 21)

Do you stare for hours every day into little screens like those on smart phones, computer monitors, and TVs? If so, I recommend that you tear your gaze away from them more than usual in the coming week. A change in your brain chemistry needs to happen, and one good way to accomplish it will be to feast your eyes on vast panoramas and expansive natural scenes. Doing so will invigorate your thinking about the design and contours of your own destiny, and that would be in sweet alignment with the astrological omens. So catch regular views of the big picture, Sagittarius. Treat clouds and birds and stars as if they were restorative messages from the wide–open future. Gaze lovingly at the big sky.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22–Jan. 19)

A Facebook friend posted a quote by seminal psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud: “Being entirely honest with oneself is a worthwhile exercise.” In response, another Facebooker named Dean Robinson disagreed: “Oh, I say let yourself have a little denial, and touch base with reality on a need–

to–know basis.” Another respondent named Paulie Cerra took that sentiment one step further: “Reality and I have an understanding. I don’t mess with it and it doesn’t mess with me.” Which of those three approaches are you inclined to pursue, Capricorn? In light of the current astrological omens, I suggest you try the first one for at least the next two weeks.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20–Feb. 18) You really need to tell your stories.

It’s not just a good idea; it’s downright urgent. There’s a backlog of unexpressed narratives clogging up your depths. It’s like you have become too big of a secret to the world. The unvented pressure is building up, threatening to implode. So please find a graceful way to share the narratives that are smoldering inside you –– with the emphasis on the word “graceful.” I don’t want your tales to suddenly erupt like a volcano all over everything at the wrong time and place. You need a receptive audience and the proper setting.

PISCES

(Feb. 19–March 20) Piscean actor Javier Bardem said this to Parade magazine: “I don’t know if I’ll get to heaven. I’m a bad boy. Heaven must be nice, but is it too boring? Maybe you can get an apartment there and then go to hell for the weekends.” I caution all you other Pisceans against pursuing this line of thought in the coming weeks. You may imagine that you can get away with sneaking away to hell for just a couple of days a week, but I don’t share that optimism. My advice is to rack your brains to drum up as much adventure as possible in safety zones and sanctuaries where you know for sure you’ll stay healthy and sane.
