The Belle of the ball

by Jim Morekis | jim@connectsavannah.com

Most of the ten-man crew of a B-17 bomber during WWII wouldn’t be old enough to buy a PBR at the Legion today.

But these young men had one of the most dangerous jobs in history: flying over Nazi Germany in an unpressurized open tube filled with bombs and bullets and aviation fuel, braving subzero temperatures at 35,000 feet, deadly accurate German 88mm antiaircraft guns, and ridiculously competent Luftwaffe fighter pilots bent on shooting them out of the sky in large numbers.

It was a job so dangerous that 25 combat missions were all they were allowed before being sent back stateside. If they made it that long. Nearly one out of five U.S. bombers in the European theatre never returned to their bases in England.

Like the veterans who flew them — no longer gawky youngsters fresh off the farm, but great-grandfathers in their 90s — the old Flying Fortresses are a vanishing breed.

In total, the U.S. war machine cranked out 12,731 B-17s. Only 12 are left flying now.

One of these beauties is in town this weekend, and you can actually fly on it — or just explore inside and imagine what it all must have been like back in the day.

If you saw the film Memphis Belle, you remember that was the first bomber to make it the full 25 missions. Her crew was brought home to parades and hoopla, an invaluable PR weapon on the home front.

The Air Force is restoring the original Memphis Belle, but the B-17 in town this week is the one in the film — an exact facsimile down to the pin-up art on the nose and the swastikas by each gun marking the enemy fighters that gunner shot down.

The Oklahoma-based Liberty Foundation owns and operates the “movie Memphis Belle,” as her all-volunteer crew call her. Their labor of love is keeping alive the memory of the veterans who flew and maintained WWII warbirds, as well as educating younger generations about their sacrifice and daring. The Belle’s tour this year

Memphis Belle

1800 E. Victory Dr., Suite 7 Savannah, GA, 31404 Phone: (912) 231-0250 Fax: (912) 231-9932 www.connectsavannah.com twitter: @ConnectSavannah Facebook.com/connectsav Administrative

Chris Griffin, General Manager chris@connectsavannah.com (912) 721-4378 Editorial

The view from the bombardier’s Norden bombsight over the Savannah waterfront

is dedicated to the 70th anniversary of her namesake’s 25th mission.

The cost of a ride isn’t cheap in dollar terms: $450. (“But we’ll let anyone fly who really wants to if they can’t afford it,” offers the young Air Force vet who’s one of the very dedicated volunteer pilots.) The money goes directly to maintaining the rare aircraft, so in a sense it’s priceless — and like I said you can just tour the inside if you want.

Yours truly hopped a media flight on the Belle earlier this week. It was something this son of an Air Force veteran will never forget.

The first thing that strikes you is how compact a B-17 actually is. A behemoth in its time, it’s not much bigger than a commuter passenger jet you might fly today between Atlanta and Augusta.

The inside is as utilitarian as it gets, all bare metal, wood, and rubber, the simple scents blending into that distinctive, pragmatic military smell. A narrow catwalk, ominously flanked by dummy 500-pound bombs, gingerly leads you through the bomb bay to the cockpit.

I snag a seat right behind the copilot.

Fresh black exhaust wafts in the sliding

cockpit window as the four big Pratt & Whitneys fire up one by one. (“She can actually fly on only one engine,” says our copilot, a testament to the engineering of the Boeing-built craft. “But we won’t do that today.”)

Vibrations build throughout the aircraft as the engines spool up for takeoff. There’s no sound in the world like these engines at full throttle. No modern jet engine conveys the same sense of raw power and purpose.

In our short briefing before takeoff, we’re told the Belle is a “special category” aircraft, i.e., virtually no safety measures other than a couple of fire extinguishers.

Even the seat belts are cursory — literally the second the wheels leave the runway a crew member invites us to get up and start shooting pictures and video.

We steeply rise and quickly bank over the Savannah River for an amazing panorama of downtown and the Lowcountry marsh.

We take turns crawling into the Belle’s nose, where the bombardier would sit with his Norden bombsight. It’s the mother of all photo ops — surrounded by clear Plexiglas, you see the ground beneath you, above you, and to the horizon in nearly 360 degrees.

The media flight only lasts about 15 minutes (yours would be about 45). But it feels like much longer as we enjoy this rare experience in the footsteps of the WWII vets who are dying at the rate of 1500 a day, but who in their youth helped save the world. cs Tour the Memphis Belle Saturday and Sunday, at Signature Aviation (1001 Davidson Dr.) Take Dean Forest Road to the “old” SAV airport across from the Days Inn.

The (civil) Society Column

History cut short By all accounts, Dr. Mark Finlay was a gem of a human being—one of those smart, kind people who couldn’t elicit a mean word or a backhanded insult from even the most cantankerous Savannah citizen.

If you know anything about the cranky tongues in this town, that’s quite an accomplishment.

His students respected him. His colleagues admired him. His neighbors liked him. They would have gladly told you that before the news came that the acclaimed history professor had been killed in a car crash last Sunday night on a dark stretch of I-95. Nobody is happy about having to tell it now.

“Mark was a great scholar, teacher and friend,” mourns Tania Sammons, a curator with the Telfair Museums.

“I’ll miss talking to him about history and collaborating on history projects, which began when I was a Master’s student years ago at Armstrong.”

On the faculty of Armstrong Atlantic State University since 1992, Dr. Finlay served as assistant dean of

Dr. Mark Finlay 1960-2013

Liberal Arts and garnered top teaching awards at local and state levels. In 2010, he won the top prize from the Agricultural History Society for his book about Savannah’s brief foray into latex production, Growing American Rubber: Strategic Plants and the Politics of National Security.

He was an avid sports fan, a world traveler and unrepentant research wonk, softspoken and shy with one of those funny streaks that seemed to pop up unexpectedly, like when he lampooned himself in a beige polyester leisure suit in a photo recently posted on Flickr.

He leaves behind a wife, two sons and a bereft community.

“His is one of those great lives cut short,” laments fellow history professor and friend Robert Batchelor, a faculty member at Georgia Southern.

The loss of Dr. Finlay also means a sudden vacuum in the conversation about local conservation. He was in the midst of writing a book about the undeveloped islands of Georgia’s coast and how they came to be protected — and how they might still be at risk. He had the uncanny talent of stitching together disparate disciplines to distill the bigger picture, an uncommon trait for a lifelong academic.

“In his writing, our relation to the environment was intertwined with local knowledge, politics, economics, national security and innovation,” continues Batchelor. “These are things we know intuitively but often forget when we think of the environment as a separate issue.”

By documenting the histories of the wild places of Wassaw, Cumberland, St. Catherine’s, Ossabaw and other sea islands, Finlay shed light on everything from early Native American inhabitants to the role of the paper industry to America’s financial elite. He also gave voice to the nascent coastal environmental movement of the 1950s, a time when Savannah’s liberals and conservatives united to defeat corporate interests that would have sludged up Wassaw Sound for phosphate and built condos on the landfill.

But Finlay never abdicated his role as an objective researcher.

“He was a historian. He did not project his views, he did not have an agenda,” says Dr. Paul Pressly, educational director of the Ossabaw Island Foundation. “By bringing forth the topic, he hoped to influence the discussion.”

Pressly lauds the work Finlay did with the foundation, bringing back participants of the island’s original Genesis Project and spending hours with Ossabaw’s most vociferous defender and only full-time resident, Sandy West.

Finlay’s rigorous research has brought awareness and authority to the cause, and Pressly hopes that it will be published posthumously. An international environmental symposium on Ossabaw is being planned for 2016 in Finlay’s honor.

“He was a Renaissance Man — a restless mind that could tie things together in different areas, bring together administration and faculty, environmentalism and industry,” Pressly remembers.

“He understood the long view.”

To underscore that point, Pressly shares a story that took place just a few weeks ago: He was with Finlay and his wife, Kelly Applegate, in Plains,

pointed out a Native American oyster midden here, a decomposing moonshine still there, the centuries piling up in the misty maritime forest.

Without a trace of pedantry, he explained the connection between the untouched marsh and the Rockefellers while invoking cellular biology, loggerhead turtles and Lester Maddox. We also talked kids and chess and even a little UGA football.

I learned more about the Georgia coast in an hour sitting with Dr. Finlay looking out onto the choppy waters of the Skidaway Narrows than I had in the entire time I’ve lived here. I sure do hope to read his book someday; his research may be the reason that future generations will be able to poke their toes into the pristine sand dunes of St. Catherine’s Island or track wild pigs on Ossabaw.

I humbly offer my deepest condolences to Dr. Finlay’s family and friends in this difficult time. I’ll also extend a gentle reminder to all of us to hug our loved ones a little tighter, take things a little slower.

And to remember that how much value there is in history, and how much we need those who make it matter. cs

“After lunch, Mark did something very touching — he pulled out campaign buttons from 1976 and talked about how as a young teenager in Iowa, he worked for the Carter campaign,” retells Pressly. “He had saved them all those years. President Carter was very moved.”

The changing climate’s champion The world’s ‘best green journalist’ comes to the Lowcountry

By Jessica Leigh Lebos | jll@connectsavannah.com

The planet is changing drastically, and Bill McKibben knows we have no time to waste.

His first book, The End of Nature (1989), warned of rising seas, destructive storms and other environmental chaos unless a humans adopted a more “humble way of living,” consuming less, conserving more.

As those prophecies have come to pass, McKibben has written 11 more books, each in their own way pleading for a radical shift in the way we approach energy consumption, food sourcing, technology and science.

In 2008 he launched 350.org, a tapestry of groups from Brazil to Afghanistan to Mali to the U.S. working to “connect the dots” between climate change and the disastrous effects of extreme weather. Last year the organization introduced a global campaign to divest from companies that produce fossil fuels and it seems to be working: The campaign has achieved more success in less time than the famously influential divestment efforts against Apartheid, tobacco and pornography.

In spite of his high-profile career as what TIME heralds as the world’s best environmental journalist, McKibben calls himself an “unlikely activist” in his latest book, Oil and Honey, a chronicle of the 2010 protest against the Keystone XL pipeline he led in DC. This act of civil

disobedience—one of the largest since the 60s—landed him in jail and has only invigorated the movement to develop clean, sustainable energy.

Tirelessly crisscrossing the country to mobilize ordinary people against the oil companies that hold our economy and environment hostage, McKibben makes a stop in Bluffton, SC this Friday, Oct. 18.

How does the American attitude towards fossil fuel usage differ from the rest of the world?

Bill McKibben: We’re more deeply addicted than almost anyone else, so change seems harder to us. The average European uses half as much energy as the average American.

They’re not as scared of change.

Is too late for politics at this point?

Does it come down to economics?

Bill McKibben: Economics and politics are closely related here. We badly need a price on carbon so that markets can go to work on the problem— but we can’t get that price on carbon with the fossil fuel companies blocking legislative action in Washington.

That’s why we need to take them on.

Confidence is the ultimate school supply.

What is the role of local food in an overall sustainable solution?

Bill McKibben: It’s an important part.

We need resilient and well-adapted food systems. Unfortunately, if we don’t manage to slow down climate change it won’t matter too much. In Vermont, we watched in 2011 as the greatest rainstorms in our history washed away many of our fine small farms.

Author and activist Bill McKibben

Has the divestment strategy of 350.org worked?

Bill McKibben: The answer is in a study released this week by Oxford University: It’s the fastest spreading divestment campaign ever, and the most powerful challenge yet to this rogue industry. [Read the entire study at cleantechnica.com.]

What sinister projects need the most attention from activists?

Bill McKibben: There’s a long list of places we have to play defense: the Keystone Pipeline, mountaintop removal in the Appalachians, new coal ports planned for the Pacific coast, Arctic offshore drilling. And that’s just the U.S.—350.org works in 181 countries.

How do you envision human life in 10, 20, 50 years?

Bill McKibben: If we’re smart, it will be ever more decentralized and local, as we replace distant sources of energy with sun and wind.

You’ve said that “being green” won’t solve the problem. What can ordinary people to do?

Bill McKibben: We should all be green, but it won’t solve the problem by itself. For that we need to come together and build a movement. Join in the fight! cs “The Climate Heats Up” w/ Bill McKibben When: 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18; doors open 5 p.m.

Super storms wreak toxic havoc Stanford University just confirmed what many Americans instinctively know: Severe thunderstorms—like those causing Colorado’s 1,000-year floods—are seeing a robust increase across the U.S., likely due to climate change.

NOAA Environmental Visualization Lab

But the devastation done by such deluges doesn’t end with the rainfall.

Billion-dollar-plus disasters like this September’s Colorado floods, the Great Mississippi and Missouri river floods of 2011, Super Storms Sandy and Katrina, along with other localized record flashfloods, can shatter pipelines, overwhelm sewer systems and sewage plants, and flood Superfund sites and toxic waste storage facilities, and industrial plants.

Floodwaters leave behind a toxic legacy, flushing huge amounts of raw sewage, petrochemicals, heavy metals, and industrial pesticides into waterways, playgrounds, gardens, yards and homes. Some pollutants cause public health problems lasting decades.

Contaminants make rebuilding expensive, cause valuable croplands to be unusable for a year or more, and reduce property values.

Colorado’s floods, for example, submerged thousands of oil and gas wells, along with tanks that stored hazardous chemicals used in the hydraulic fracturing drilling process. Industry officials acknowledged the contamination risk, but claimed all was well at first.

“There were no fracking sites affected by the flood,” asserted Colorado Oil and Gas Association president Tisha Schuller to Denver’s NBC 9News.

But within hours the media published pictures of floating and overturned storage tanks, drill site wreckage, and sagging pipelines. Oil spills topping 27,000 gallons have been discovered so far.

But it is the toxic waste spread by

floodwaters that inspectors don’t find that can be the most hazardous. Hurricane Sandy spread 11 billion gallons of raw sewage across eight states, according to a study by ClimateCentral.org. But where that waste and the hazardous microbes it contained were deposited is unknown.

After Hurricane Sandy, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tested soils at a few Superfund sites, concluding that no pollution escaped outside contaminated areas.

But EPA admits most of the New York region’s 246 Superfund sites were only visually inspected after the storm, not tested. So great unknowns remain.

In Louisiana, five years after Hurricane Katrina’s floodwaters engulfed 80 percent of New Orleans, toxic residues endured, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council.

Arsenic and lead contaminated soils persist in and around playgrounds, schools and backyards in dangerous concentrations that far exceed state and federal standards.

The climate change forecast is for escalating deluge, with scientists warning of a warmer, wetter world,

Hurricane Sandy on October 25, 2012, with winds of 90 mph and a pressure of 954 mbar.

with more powerful storms. It’s already happening: Between 1958 and 2011, precipitation falling in heavy downpours increased by an astounding 74 percent in the U.S. Northeast, 45 percent in the Midwest, 26 percent in the Southeast, 21 percent in the High Plains states, and 12 percent in the Rockies and most of the West, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

In future, record super storms will surely swamp facilities where harmful chemicals are now safely used and stored. Unfortunately, no one can anticipate precisely where the next 100- or 1,000-year flood will strike, so it’s nearly impossible to predict what poisons might be released, and where they might lodge.

But there are ways in which federal, state and municipal authorities could prepare. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) needs to vigorously redefine floodplains, using the best models for sea level rise and intensifying storms.

They also need to map major toxic waste sources within flood-prone areas, evaluating the toxic risks of flooded Superfund sites (some of which are waterways), sewage systems, industrial sites, refineries, tank farms, drilling sites, nuclear power plants, pipelines, landfills, toxic waste storage facilities, and more.

Industry needs to cooperate as well. The fossil fuel and chemical industries, and others who work with dangerous substances, need to develop realistic disaster plans to proactively secure toxic materials ahead of storms. They must be ready to reach sites quickly after floods, and have clean up plans in place.

When it comes to the potential for climate change-intensified floods to unleash toxic chemicals into the environment, we are in completely uncharted waters.

But the time to start planning for the stormy years ahead is now. cs Blue Ridge Press Editor Glenn Scherer lives in Hardwick, Vermont. www.blueridgepress.com.

Multi-faceted history tour benefits local health organizations

By Jessica Leigh Lebos | jll@connectsavannah.com

jon waits/jwaitsphoto

In this town, it’s not unusual to see a man dressed in colonial-era knickers and big buckle shoes spouting quotes from the Declaration of Independence. Or a Gullah-Geechee storyteller shaking cowrie shells as he sings a song from West Africa. Or a grown woman dressed in vintage Girl Scout garb explaining the role of women in the early 1900s.

Storyteller and tour guide J’Miah Radhi Nabawi

For the most part, Savannah’s walking tour guides concentrate on one area of the city’s multi-faceted history—there are a lot of stories to tell, and tourists only have so much time. But a new walking tour has brought together some of Savannah’s most illustrious historical characters in a single narrative, one with the aim of helping promote a healthy lifestyle in the present day.

The A-MAZE-ZING Walking Tour is a lively 90-minute sojourn through the squares that donates up to 50 percent of its proceeds to a local health-based charity. Its launch on Saturday, Oct. 26 holds the banner for breast cancer awareness and early detection and will benefit Community Health Mission, a free clinic that serves uninsured and underserved women.

“We serve up to 850 women a year, and we tend to get them at the later stages of the disease,” explains Dr. Miriam Rittmeyer, CHM’s executive director. “Their survival depends on early detection and timely treatment.”

Dr. Rittmeyer has worked with tour founder J’Miah Radhi Nabawi “for years,” and likens CHM’s partnership with the A-MAZE-ZING Walking Tour to the journey

patients must navigate through the health care system. Upcoming recipients of the tour’s assistance are organizations that provide diabetes, heart health and healthy eating education.

Nabawi, an award-winning storyteller and a contributor to Old Savannah Tours, conceived the idea as part of his performing arts company Savannah Storyfest and leads the walking tour as Quashee Alice, a Gullah Geechee elder. Dressed in farmer duds with a shell-festooned walking stick, the always exuberant Nabawi leads tour participants in Congolese games and call-andresponse chants, a high-energy alternative to the sometimes-staid tone of

conventional walking tours.

“It’s very interactive,” he smiles.

“Savannah has been multicultural from the beginning, and we want to promote history as well as our individual heritage.”

With the idea of representing a broad swath of Savannah history, he has incorporated licensed guides from several established tour companies. He enlisted fellow Old Savannah Tours guide Jason Wallace as the Town Crier, a poetic character who unfurls a yellow scroll announcing the news of the newly independent United States.

An aficionado of the Revolutionary War and Civil War eras, Wallace agreed to lend his expertise when Nabawi approached him with his idea for a theatrical walking tour.

“It gives an overview of all of Savannah’s history and it’s for charity?

I’m in,” declares Wallace.

Also on board is Mary Anne Street, who plays an enthusiastic and wellinformed Juliette Gordon Low. Street also gives walking tours through Tales of the South and uses the persona of the famed Girl Scout leader to inform visitors about the role of women in Savannah’s history.

“I also tell a ghost story or two,” she winks.

Another notable Savannah woman is represented on the tour in the form of Catharine “Caty” Greene, wife of Revolutionary War general Nathanael Greene and now considered by Smithsonian researchers to be the true inventor of the cotton

where the Declaration of Independence was read on August 10, 1776—a month after the rest of the country heard it, reminds Wallace.

“From the Civil War to Civil Rights movement, this spot has been essential and we each have our stories to share about it,” points out Nabawi.

“It’s been a true collaboration.”

The pleasant promenade of the A-MAZE-ZING Walking Tour is punctuated by a scavenger hunt, and future tours may include lunch and start further south at the Metz House on Forsyth Park. This Saturday and through the month of October, all proceeds help provide mammograms to women in need.

“We bring in history, the beauty and magic of Savannah, plus women’s health — it’s a whole conglomerate of things coming together for a good cause,” says Street, tipping the brim her scout hat. cs The A-MAZE-ZING Walking Tour Launch When: Sat. Oct 26, 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

Rounding out this spirited crew is Karen Wortham, the founder and director of Journey by Faith Tour Company. A scholar of the city’s African American history, Wortham wrote the history of First African Baptist Church as well as Indigo Journey, a chronicle of the city’s slave trade. She conducts a tour of the same name, pointing out areas significant to slave history that parallel Savannah’s more mainstream tales.

“Few people realize that the Weeping Time was supposed to take place right here in Johnson Square,” says Wortham, referring to the tragic sale in 1859 of 436 men, women and children that tore apart families and deepened the national divide over slavery. Because of space issues, the sale was moved to the Ten Broeck racetrack.

Airbnb offers win/win concept to SAV visitors and residents alike

By Jenny Dunn

Fall, 2007. Three friends inflate some air mattresses and advertise them to convention-goers under the newly minted moniker “Airbed and Breakfast” in order to make rent.

Talk about right-place, right-time: San Francisco, quintessential hotbed for sexy young startups, timed in perfect syncopation with the economy’s abrupt deflation circa 2008.

Now, six years later, Airbnb hosts about 140,000 people every night in 33,000 cities in nearly 200 counties across the globe.

While Savannah is already a destination on the Airbnb map, we could stand to peddle still more Hostess City hospitality (and revenue) on our webpages.

community-driven platform offering free subscriptions, offers 24/7 customer support, guest and host profiles, travel reviews, secure booking, and a million-dollar host guarantee in exchange for a 3 percent merchant service fee and 6-12 percent guest booking fee.

The company even offers free professional photography to hosts and one-on-one consultation. Accommodations come in all shapes, sizes and

locales — a couch to a castle, a private room to a private island, an igloo to a tree house, a yurt, a teepee, and all shapes and sizes in between.

Dubbed the heralds of the “sharing economy” by the New York Times’ Thomas Friedman, Airbnb offers something new(ish): a service for the people, where everybody wins.

Justin Hauge, U.S. Head of Market Development at Airbnb, hopped aboard early on. Hauge is pretty much

the personification of the brand: highenergy, young, charismatic, incredibly tall.

“If you had extra space, even it was just a couch or air mattress, you could put that up and make a little additional money that you normally wouldn’t have had the opportunity to without the platform,” Hauge says.

The Airbnb site found its footing during the crunch when people couldn’t pay their mortgage, couldn’t

make ends meet and were losing their homes. In other words, desperation may have had a hand in jumpstarting people’s motivations.

“Now,” he says, “it’s a little harder to sell.”

But should it be? Federal minimum wage is still an unlivable $7.25 an hour; the state of Georgia legislates an appalling $5.15/hour for employees not subject to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Three out of every four Americans live paycheck to paycheck, or outside and above their means. The top five percent just bankrolled a bigger percentage of America’s income than ever before.

In our Citizens United-flavored dystopia, the only person looking out for what’s left of the middle class as it continues to die a miserable death might be the paying guest lodged in your spare bedroom.

“I don’t think there’s going to be a time in the short term where people aren’t going to need a little bit of help at the end of the month to make ends meet,” Hauge tells me, preaching to my choir. “If we’re able to do that, it’s a huge motivating factor.”

Hauge and his street-smart sales team spent three sticky August weeks in Savannah arranging small-scale community meet-ups at local host venues and out on the town at Foxy Loxy and Huc-a-poos. The team would pick up bar tabs, chat with folks, give away free pizza and hors d’oeuvres and work out the hands-on sales angle.

“We just go out, celebrate the people, celebrate the community, just keep getting the word out and keep growing that way,” Hauge explains.

“It’s super scrappy. The results have been awesome. We’re not just some Internet company that’s sending you emails. We’re real people who are hosts; real guests who embody the spirit.”

Granted, the concept of Airbnb runs counter to what we were always taught: Don’t talk to strangers.

“We’re always sort of convincing people,” Hauge says.

“You know, people who say: ‘You let strangers into your home?!’ and the answer is: ‘Yes.’ We have different protections in place to make everyone as comfortable as possible. Ultimately, something’s going to have to motivate them to do it.”

The team, most of them hosts themselves back home in San Francisco, encourage other hosts to scope out potential guests to figure out their motivation for traveling before accepting the reservation.

“We built in different things like the reviews and the million-dollar host guarantee and verified ID so you have a better idea of who this person is who wants to stay in your house.”

Just as travelers have different reasons for wanting to bunk with Airbnb, hosts also have different motivations, surprisingly not always just for the money.

In Savannah, Airbnb host Lori plans to use Airbnb income to build a

Japanese spa and a mini-horse ranch on her property.

And then there’s Vickie, who always wanted to run her own bed and breakfast. Now she’s living her dream and beating out empty nest syndrome at the same time.

James and Daniel really just want to showcase their space, a historic plantation house and newly renovated garden.

Chad uses the extra income from his Airbnb guests to vacation in Thailand and Brazil.

Steph and Clint are saving up to adopt a child from a third world country.

“We don’t want to force this on anybody,” says Hauge. “It takes a certain kind of person and we want to maintain the integrity of the community. It’s very much self-selecting.”

The takeaway is this: In order to share in the rewards of the sharing economy, you’ll need to person-up; be brave enough to host and be hosted, just like the three million other people who booked with Airbnb last year alone.

After all, Cambridge professor Sir Martin Rees predicted that mankind has only a 50/50 chance of surviving through 2100, which means you may have only a few decades left to put yourself out there, live a little and stop being afraid of meeting new people.

“We’re kind of different in our thinking,” Hauge adds. “We really think that people are inherently good and it’s not that weird.” cs

Blotter All cases from recent Savannah/ Chatham Police Dept. incident reports

Murder on Victory Police are investigating the shooting death of a Savannah man on West Victory Drive Saturday night.

Timothy Bernard Roberts, 37, of the 1100 block of West Victory and was found with a gunshot wound near his bicycle at Victory and Hopkins Street about 11 p.m. He was transported to Memorial University Medical Center where he died.

Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call Crimestoppers at (912) 234-2020 or text CRIMES (274637). Tipsters remain anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward. A confidential Tip Line also is open directly to investigators at (912) 525-3124.

• An alert citizen led police to the arrest of two suspects after a countywide surveillance operation.

Dominick Bernard Coney, 17, was charged with burglary, possession of a drug-related object and possession of marijuana after patrol and undercover officers from three precincts, SCMPD canine officers, a Georgia State Patrol trooper and Metro’s police helicopter followed the car he was in from Abercorn Street to a subdivision off Quacco Road.

Orinthus Lenard Harding, 18, of a Katama Way address also was charged with possession of marijuana.

Islands Precinct officers had been called to the 1400 block of Dale Drive on Tuesday by a witness who saw a male flee a residence and enter a Toyota Sonata. Responding officers found a window broken.

On Wednesday about 4 p.m., the witness called back and advised the Sonata was on Abercorn. Officers converged on the area, following the car until it stopped in the Hampton Place subdivision.

The two occupants were charged with possession and Bernard was identified as the suspect.

• A transitional center inmate faces new charges, including assault on an officer, after he was arrested by officers who surrounded a house he was burglarizing.

Dennis Akins, an inmate at the Coastal Transitional Center, was arrested on Barnard at West Hall after he kicked out and jumped from a second-story window. Officers subdued him with a taser when he fought. He is charged with burglary, aggravated assault of a police officer and possession of a firearm in committing a crime.

“He had burglarized an apartment in the building, taking items including a handgun which he attempted to point at a Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police officer,” says a police spokesman. “The ammunition clip in the gun dislodged when he tried to raise it and it struck a stairway handrail.”

Akins was serving his 33rd month of a 15-year sentence for burglary and

thefts in Laurens County. He had been released in March 2010 after serving 26 months of a 10-year term for similar charges, also in Laurens County.

• A 15-year-old student was hospitalized with serious but non-life threatening injuries after he was struck by a vehicle while walking on a sidewalk near Windsor Forest High School last week.

Charges are pending against Jeanenne Marx, 54, who was driving a 2007 Ford Fusion that left the roadway and struck the student who was walking north along the west edge of Largo Drive about 7:33 a.m. The Fusion was traveling south on Largo Drive at Winwood Drive. The student was transported to Memorial University Medical Center. cs Give anonymous crime tips to Crimestoppers at 234-2020

news of the weird The Bar Is Always Open

A 61-year-old Texas man admitted to a hospital not long ago appearing to be falling-down-drunk, even though denying having had even a single drink, was discovered to be unintentionally manufacturing beer in his stomach.

With “auto-brewery syndrome,” stomach-based yeast automatically ferments all starches (even vegetables or grains) passing through, converting them into ethanol. Normally, natural stomach bacteria control the yeast, but if, for example, antibiotics had inadvertently eliminated the bacteria, the yeast would prevail. The case was reported in a recent International Journal of Clinical Medicine.

Government in Action

• Update: As several additional states debate permitting marijuana use by a doctor’s prescription, Irvin Rosenfeld presented his own experience in August to a packed house at Kentucky’s state capitol. Rosenfeld suffers from painful bone tumors (diagnosed, with a poor prognosis, in 1963) and began smoking dope in the federal government’s Compassionate Investigational Drug program in 1982 - since then consuming 130,000 government-supplied joints (12 per day, carefully measured), which he said absolutely had prolonged his life. “I didn’t ask for my bone disease,” he said. “All I asked for is the best medicine possible.”

How did the joke about sending a prisoner a cake with a file baked inside it originate? Did people ever actually try this, or was there a particular movie or book it occurred in?

—Terey You think this is a joke? Actual escape tools have been hidden in actual cakes and the like so often you have to wonder why wardens ever allow prisoners to take receipt of baked goods.

And it’s not just files, or even guns— wait till you hear about the welding electrodes.

Sneaking things to prisoners via cake has surely been done throughout history, but early reports are sparse—the first we found was in a compendium of criminal biographies published in the UK in 1804. William Blewitt, a minor-league pickpocket and housebreaker, had been sentenced to seven years’ transportation to Australia. Placed aboard a ship in the Thames to await the trip to the land down under, he learned that several of his fellow prisoners had acquired gingerbread cakes with saws and files baked inside them. Blewitt promptly passed word of the impending breakout to the ship’s captain, who seized the cakes and released Blewitt as a reward.

• In 1899 four prisoners escaped from jail in Frederick County, Maryland, using saws concealed in pies plus ropes made from blankets.

• In 1912 Charles Adams, a trusty who was allowed limited leave, received a pie with $200 inside it. He fled, using the money to pave the way.

• In 1914 the wife of a New Jersey convict named either C.J. or J.C. Wilderman (accounts vary), having learned that the warden liked mince pie, began bringing pies to her husband on visits. After a few weeks of this, she supposedly showed up one day with two: one for the warden, and

a second loaded with escape tools for her husband. He and two cellmates broke out, leaving behind two saws and some crumbs.

The most creative cake-mediated breakout we heard about was that of Eamon de Valera, the Irish nationalist leader, who’d been imprisoned in England for his role in the 1916 Easter Rising. De Valera got his hands on the prison chaplain’s master key while assisting at mass and made a wax impression using candle stumps melted with his body heat. He then got another inmate to draw a cartoon postcard: one side showed a drunken man outside a door holding a precise depiction of the master key and saying “I can’t get in,” and on the other side the same man, now jailed and sober, peering through an accurate sketch of the keyhole, accompanied by the words “I can’t get out.” Miraculously this got past the authorities and was delivered to de Valera’s confederates outside, who made a duplicate key and smuggled it into prison in a cake. It took two tries and two cakes before a key arrived that would work, but on February 3, 1919, de Valera made his escape.

Other successes: • “Lucky Tommy” O’Connor broke out of Cook County Jail in Chicago in 1921, just days before he was supposed to hang, reportedly by using a gun and bullets smuggled into a loaf of bread and a cake.

• In 1934 Robert Mais and Walter Legenza escaped from jail in Richmond, Virginia using guns smuggled inside cans of baked chicken. Mais’s mother was later accused of having opened the cans, placed the guns inside, and soldered the lids back on, but was released for lack of evidence.

Then there’s this: • In 1906 Thomas Stuart twice failed to smuggle carbon rods into jail to spring his brother Benjamin—the first time in an immense chocolate cake, the next day in a package of cigars. The idea apparently was to somehow hook the rods to the wiring for the cell’s electric lights and use them like welder electrodes to cut through the bars. While the Stuarts deserve credit for boldness, their scheme had little chance of success even if the jailer hadn’t become suspicious of the high-carbon dessert. CS

Tricks, treats and Graveface Records You’ll hardly ever see a picture of Ryan Manon’s grave face. Whenever there’s a photographer around, he pulls on some sort of Halloween disguise or freaky bondage mask.

Then he becomes Ryan Graveface, the twisted musical mastermind behind Dreamend, the Marshmallow Ghosts and Casket Girls, and the guitar player from Tobacco’s Black Moth Super Rainbow. “I don’t want the focus to be on the human that’s creating things, in any way,” he explains.

“In any of the bands I play in.”

He moved to Savannah, from the Midwest, two years ago. “Everybody I met was saying ‘This city sucks.

There’s no music scene; there’s no record store.’ Well …

“I’m very introverted,” Graveface continues, “so I can’t really be a part of a music scene in the typical sense, because I’m horrified at leaving my house and that sort of thing.

“But I can bring bands into town, I can open a record store, I can have events, I can do all sorts of stuff to try to tie things together.”

Graveface Records, on 40th Street just off Bull, celebrates two years in business this week with a series of exceptional live shows and special events (“We never had a grand opening for the first incarnation of the store,” Graveface explains).

While it hasn’t exactly rivaled Target on the retail success level, the store’s done OK, and Graveface himself has plans to reorganize, restock, re-light and reconfigure in the days and weeks to come. He wants to add classes, in subjects ranging from astral projection to guitar effects

pedal-making.

“The store looks cool, but it’s never looked and felt and run the way that I had in my head,” explains the 32-yearold Ohio native. “So that is going to happen. Every single little detail — well, except ripping out the floor — will be different.”

The record store’s partner in musical mischief-making is also called Graveface Records — the independent record label sells, mostly via mail order, colored vinyl, limited-edition pressings to collectors all over the country, and the world.

All of Ryan’s bands make music for the label; the roster also includes the Stargazer Lillies, Appleseed Cast, Jason Molina and others.

“I’m kind of in a perfect groove right now,” he says. “It would be nice to get bigger, but I don’t know how.

I’ve hired employees to work the store and do things like mail order, so that I can focus on writing and trying to get better at that craft. So hopefully I can sell more records. But it’s a tough

game.”

Graveface, who admits to being “prone to depression,” feels he’s also made great personal strides during his two years in Savannah. “I’ve never made this many friends,” he smiles. “I actually feel connected to so many people here. I’ve met more good people here than I’ve met collectively in my entire life. And it’s really awesome.”

The record shop is as quirky and odd as its namesake — sure, there’s loads of new and used vinyl, but the shelves are also lined with squirrel and raccoon taxidermy, antlers, bones, preserved paws and boiled jaws for sale.

He says he has been “collecting dead things” for years.

And then there’s Halloween. “I’m completely and disturbingly obsessed with the holiday,” Graveface says, “and when I was a child, all of October was Halloween.

“Now that I’m an adult, it’s every day. Because I’m completely

More stuff

• After a stunning Forsyth Park closer to this year’s jazz festival, the Coastal Jazz Association is already back in action with “Two Divas,” at 5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 20 in the Westin ballroom. Yes, it’s Huxsie Scott and Claire Frazier — Savannah’s own Vaughn and Fitzgerald — accompanied by the ever-swinging Savannah Jazz All-Stars: Teddy Adams (trombone), Howard Paul (guitar), Eric Jones (piano), Mitch Hennes (bass), Sean Bolden (drums) and Randall Reese (saxophone).

Admission is $20 ($10 for high school and college students) and, as always, CJA members get in free.

The very next night (Oct. 21), Jeremy Davis & the Equinox Orchestra are back at the Westin for two dinner sets. Make reservations at www. opentable.com.

• Cool stuff to look out for down the road: On Oct. 31, Dollhouse brings together a female-centric Halloween show, with Azar Swan and Delphic Oracle from Brooklyn, Savannah’s own Dame Darcy, and DJ Tamaryn of San Francisco.

And hey now! GAM returns to the Jinx Nov. 1 for the annual Halloween (well, day after Halloween) rock ‘n’ roll debauchery-fest. CS

independent, I can make my life weird and spooky on a day-to-day basis. And that’s what I feel comfortable in. It’s all just fun.”

Still, he has to play responsible businessman.

“I’m proud of the way I’m running the store, although it’s probably a weird way to run a business. If someone comes in and spends $15 on a record, that 15 bucks goes into buying another record. I have never put another additional penny into it.

“I just wanted to see how organic I could make the store. It’s completely funded by the people that shop there.”

Savannah, and this new life he’s created for himself, is — much to his surprise — easing his periodic bouts of depression.

“As I’m aging I’m trying to really embrace the tiny, miniscule things that make me happy,” Graveface says.

“Which are preposterous, and I don’t even want to say them aloud!

“I’m just embracing the little things that get me through the day. I’m shockingly not miserable. Prior to moving here, I was pretty much suicidal — that word gets used way too frequently — but I was in a very bad place.

“And that’s why I came here. If I hadn’t left Chicago when I did, I don’t know what would have happened.”

The son of a preacher (man), Ed Roland was born and raised in Stockbridge, Georgia, one of a galaxy of character-less Atlanta suburbs. In 1982, itching to get out, he decamped for Boston’s legendary Berklee School of Music, where he studied guitar and composition.

Back at home, he then spent eight years as a sound engineer at Reel to Real, a small recording studio owned by the father of his bass-playing buddy Will Turpin. (“One of the first artists I ever recorded was RuPaul,” Roland says, without a trace of irony.)

Along with Turpin, drummer

Shane Evans, rhythm guitarist Dean Roland (Ed’s little bro) and a lead player, Roland went on to conquer the world under the band name Collective Soul.

One of the most successful postgrunge rock bands of the 1990s, Collective Soul hit No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock chart seven times,

starting with Roland’s impossibly cool and catchy “Shine,” which just missed the Top Ten on the Billboard/Soundscan sales chart.

The band’s debut album, Hints, Allegations and Things Left Unsaid went double platinum in America, its followup (called Collective Soul) went triple platinum, and Disciplined Breakdown and Dosage sold more than a million copies each.

Along with Drivin N Cryin, another great Georgia band, Roland and Collective Soul will perform Saturday, Oct. 19 at the Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival in Richmond Hill’s JF Gregory Park.

MUSIC | from previous page

But Atlanta had a pretty hopping music scene in the early ‘80s …

Ed Roland: I thought it was great. We had Drivin N Cryin, REM, a great Athens scene. But these guys were going to the University of Georgia. I wanted to be around a bunch of musicians, I guess. I probably wasn’t even smart enough to get into the University of Georgia at the time.

History tells us that the first Collective Soul album (Hints, Allegations ...) was actually a collection of demos you made by yourself at Reel to Real. Was there no band at that point?

Ed Roland: Some of it was done there, and my manager at the time built a little recording studio in his basement. I would go there every day and write, and record. There were different players in and out, but it was never a band. It was intended to be a songwriter demo. I was trying to get a publishing deal. From that, we started getting radio play at Album 88, at Georgia State.

Will and Shane, who were in the band eventually, had a cover band playing frat houses. I said “Hey, can y’all learn a couple of my songs?” I would do five of my originals, and they would play cover tunes the rest of the night. I could go home. Then “Shine” started taking off, and I said “Guys, we gotta start taking this seriously. We’re gonna play everywhere.”

I always say it was a 10-year overnight success story. I literally sent CDs out to everybody, and I would call radio — which I wouldn’t have the courage to do today — I would call the program director and tell him “Thank you for playing it,” and they were like “You’re calling me?” I didn’t

It’s been 20 years now — are you surprised that your first albums have had legs like this? All these years later they’re still cherished by people.

Music

Ed Roland: I went because I’d been reading that a couple of the Cars players went there. I was really into the Cars. Walter Becker from Steely Dan had gone there. And where I grew up was really, really small; I was just looking to find people to play with.

Nobody played music where I grew up. It was a small-town football town.

And Berklee was, basically, the only music school back then. You know, I learned theory and all that, but I wanted to be a songwriter. I kind of figured, that’s something life teaches you, not a teacher. You can learn certain formats, I guess, but what I wanted to do was life experiences.

know any different, you know? It was the Southern gentleman thing to do.

25

Ed Roland: It’s a blessing. When I wrote “Shine,” I just put it down, I thought it was a good pop tune. I didn’t think it was something that would launch a career. Twenty years later, people still sing it with enthusiasm. It’s something indescribable.

You almost have to be in the moment.

It’s like seeing a picture of the Grand Canyon — “oh, that’s cool,” but then you go see and you’re like “Whoa, I did it now!”

OCT 16-OCT 22, 2013 | WWW.CONNECTSAVANNAH.COM

Why did you choose to go to Berklee?

Tell me about your other band, the Sweet Tea Project.

Ed Roland: About two years ago, I had a couple of weeks off, I came home and re-connected with some friends of mine. They do the coffeehouses around Atlanta. Every song I write’s not a Collective Soul song, so I just showed them some song ideas I had. They showed me theirs. We did a show, people really liked it, and we said “Let’s make a record.” We made a record, and people liked the record.

It’s just very organic. It’s very reminiscent of what happened 20 years ago. You’re doing it for the fun … of course, for the chicks, always! … but then it just takes on a life of its own.

And it’s just been a blast.

I always like to say that Collective Soul is my pride, because nothing would happen without Collective Soul. But Sweet Tea is my joy. I love it and have so much fun with it.

So I’m blessed. I have pride and joy. CS Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival Where: JF Gregory Park, Richmond Hill When: 5-11 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18; 10 a.m.11 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19; 11 a.m.-5 p.m.

Christopher Stanley assumes an iconic role in Bay Street’s Rocky Horror Show

Savannah’s First Belgian & German inspired Gastropub!

In its three envelopepushing, edge-cutting years of existence, Bay Street Theatre has cornered the Savannah market on bright, campy and raucously alternative musicals. To quote that old Marvin Hamlisch song, nobody does it better. At least not in this town.

Specializing in precision cutting, creative color and special events hair and makeup.

Christopher Stanley has been a Bay Street Theatre regular since the beginning.

Right on schedule this October is Bay Street’s uber-popular production of The Rocky Horror Show, that irreverent comedic romp about waxed

That were a size too small.”

A Massachusetts native, Stanley spent the early 2000s in SCAD’s theater program. He them decamped for the north and a “real” job before returning to Savannah, just because he loved it, in 2009.

He was tending bar and hosting Karaoke at Club One when manager Travis Coles mentioned he was looking for a bass player for the Rocky band.

Stanley, who plays keyboards, guitar and bass, got the gig. And when, not long afterwards, Coles and Valerie Lavelle formed Bay Street Theatre proper, Stanley gladley joined the team.

“That definitely solidified my love for the club,” Stanley says. “It’s someplace I enjoy working, and when they started this theater I was like ‘It’s everything I need under one roof!’”

Starting in 2010, he was the musical director for three consecutive Rocky productions.

This year … those towering high heels aren’t the only big shoes Stanley has to contend with.

“Chris Blair had been Frank N.

Furter for five years, and was fantastic,” he says. “So you’re kind of in that shadow — but I think of it as Doctor Who. Like I’m the next doctor.

“You have to make it your own — but you’re still the doctor.”

DeVincent, he explains, “has given me lots of different ideas. We’re bouncing off each other and slowly shaping this new Frank.” He admits that a few of Blair’s sassiest Frankisms have survived and will be part of his dialogue. If it ain’t broke …

The estimable Warren Heilman is the 2013 musical director. And it’s an all-new cast.

Rocky Horror is a blessing for Bay Street Theatre, for a couple of reasons.

“This is one show we’ll most likely do every year, because people love it,” says Stanley. “It’s a seasonal show.

And musicals tend to be our cash cows — the success of Rocky Horror allowed us to do shows that were less successful. It’s allowed us to take risks, and we appreciate it.

“If we wanted to, we could have the same cast every year, not change the blocking, not do any new choreography, and we could throw it at them.

But I love that every year, we always come up with something different.”

As for Chris Stanley, he’s always up for a good challenge. This is going against type for him, and he knows it.

“The character of Rocky has to look sexy; Frank N. Furter has to be sexual,” he explains. “You have to carry yourself in a way that says you enjoy your body. You can’t be a prude.

(Spoiler alert) “I sort of imagine the reason Riff Raff and Magenta end up turning on him is because he’s even too sexual for them.” CS The Rocky Horror Show Where: Bay Street Theatre at Club One, 1 Jefferson St. When: At 7:30 p.m. Oct. 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27, & 31 Admission: 21+ (Sunday shows are allages) Tickets: $15 and $20 at clubone-online. com

Jeff DeVincent is directing the show this year, and local Rocky-philes will notice that there’s a new master in place at the Frankenstein Place.

Christopher Stanley is playing Dr. Frank N. Furter, the “sweet transvestite from Transylvania.”

Most recently seen as Senor Pirelli, the Italian-slash-Irish shyster in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Stanley has been involved in just about every Bay Street production, either as a performer or as musical director.

With Rocky, he’s got some pretty big shoes to fill. And to dance in. “The last time I was in heels was in a SCAD production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, where I played bass,” he recalls.

“So it was just standing there, in these yellow boots with five-inch heels.

“I’m so happy they finally opened a Chipotle here. It’s what Savannah needed,” says a customer behind me in line as she eagerly waits her turn to dictate the creation of her burrito.

Now, I wouldn’t go so far as to say that Savannah needed a Chipotle, but considering the nearest one was 90 miles away before the new branch of the restaurant opened on Victory, the company saw the necessity of a new location based on demand.

The petition for a Savannah Chipotle location began on Facebook in 2010. And after years of waiting, the Chipotle Company finally recognized that the city would be a good fit for a new location.

The attention Savannah got wasn’t just because people have been begging them for it, but also because Chipotle is an advocate for local food, as is Savannah. It was a match made in foodie heaven.

“Family farms in the U.S. and around the world are disappearing, but we are doing our best to keep that from happening,” says Chipotle area manager Anthony George.

“I’m very proud to work for a company that believes in taking care of the animals, farmers, and environment. I love that we support family farms. I believe in the food we serve, the service we give, and the value we provide.”

Chipotle even shares a parking lot with Whole Foods, another national chain dedicated to local and organic products. But Chipotle doesn’t just care about where the food comes from, but also how it is raised. Their “Food With Integrity” campaign is

the message of the company’s dedication to make sure the meat they serve is raised ethically—meat with morals.

“We support and sustain family farmers who respect and care deeply for the animals, the land, and the overall environment. Whenever possible we use meat from animals raised without the use of antibiotics or added hormones,” Anthony shares.

“We work very hard to source organic and local produce when practical and we use dairy from cows raised without the use of synthetic hormones.”

The ingredients are what set Chipotle apart from many other build-yourown-burrito places. And they put as much care into their own employees as they do their ingredients.

Anthony says he is “extremely proud to work for a company that genuinely cares for their employees. We have a very unique and caring culture that creates a family-like

environment in our restaurants. The team deserves all credit and my people are my number one priority.”

Speaking of family-like environments, the seating space suits that description. Tall, large tables surrounded by stools dominate the interior space. They’re meant to get people together in a cafeteria-like fashion. It’s like they knew that community is a Southern staple well-practiced in Savannah.

Getting down to the meat of the story, the food is as good as they say it is. I may not have known the birthplace, gender, or name of the cow that assisted in the creation of my barbacoa burrito bowl, but I do know it lived its life the way an animal should, and not in some factory farm.

“Chipotle’s mission is to change the way people think about and eat fast food,” says Anthony. Well, while eating Chipotle the phrase “fast food” seldom comes to mind, anyway—so, mission accomplished.

Long lines during peak hours may seem daunting, but it’s worth the wait.

“We received an outstanding welcome by everyone here. I look forward to serving all of our customers excellent food and providing them with an extraordinary dining experience that I hope will make their day better. I also look forward to opening another location in the area so we can offer more opportunities and serve even more customers,” Anthony adds.

So hopefully those lines will be cut a little shorter by future locations.

Chain restaurants may not necessarily be what Savannah needs, but as far as large restaurant companies go,

Chipotle is one of the good guys. It shares a location with Whole Foods, appropriately, and is another helpful development on the Eastside.

And well-developed areas are always better for a city—they are a definite necessity to a growing city like Savannah. cs

HAVE YOU ever wished your cooler could literally toss you a beer? Or that you could re-seal that opened can?

Have you longed for a homebrew system that could make brewing beer as easy as brewing a cup of coffee?

Then you need to get over to Kickstarter.com, the premier venue for creators, performers and inventors of all kinds to find and connect with a like-minded audience. Sometimes, these are ground-breaking concepts.

More often, however, they’re homespun initiatives from creatives that just need that extra push to get a passion project to market.

Increasingly, initiatives related to beer are found amongst the thousands of requests to finance everything from one-act plays to tailored mens’ fashion lines. The majority involve raising money for actual breweries or brewery expansions like tap rooms. Recently, Savannah’s Southbound Brewing Co. turned to Kickstarter rival site Indiegogo to aid in making their facility ADA compliant for tours.

On a smaller scale, there are many individuals looking to enhance the beer experience for the masses. The following projects are all accepting donations now at Kickstarter.com; search for them by name at the site.

Keep It Cold

rate of heat transfer and gets the can cold faster. They’ve re-imagined that process to be drill-free, with a device called the Beerouette, which is much more convenient for tailgating. They turned to Kickstarter to raise $10,000 to mass-produce the chillers.

After you’ve rapidly cooled off your beers, you need a way to distribute them. That’s where the Cooler Cannon comes in. It may look like a typical mild-mannered rolling icebox from the outside. But when you push the button on its wireless remote control, watch out! It shoots cans out of the lid. Perfect for those who don’t want to get out of their lawn chairs to grab a beer, or those looking for a lawsuit. A quick $200 donation will make you the first on the block with that privilege and liability.

Drinking 2.0

For those investigating next level drinking technology, KegVision may be the answer. This project is a hardware/software combination described as a gas gauge for beer. It uses wi-fi to send signals to a smart phone that keep bartenders aware of how much liquid is left in the keg. Making a pledge at or above the $99 level will give you yet another reason to nervously check your phone at all times.

Savannahian Rocky Bettis hopes the invention that he and his father developed, the iCan, will revolutionize the way that beers and sodas are consumed. The design they’ve created adds a twist-top to the familiar aluminum cylinder that enables cans to be easily closed and opened. Their product helps drinks stay fresh longer,

We all know how to get beer cold. Just stick in the fridge or a cooler full of ice and wait. But what if you don’t want to wait? What if you need it cold in 60 seconds or less? That’s where Spin Chill comes in.

Originally designed by a pair of Florida engineers as a drill attachment, the Spin Chill is a device that, well, spins your beer, preferably in a tub of ice. That spinning increases the The Brewbot is controlled by a smartphone app

eliminates the chances of spills and keeps unwanted things out of your can. A $95,000 fundraising campaign is underway to further refine prototypes and bring the iCan to market.

Brew Better

Home brewing can be time consuming. Some contend the laborious processes are part of the appeal. But between setup, cleaning, sanitizing, brewing, bottling and more cleaning, I wouldn’t turn down a simpler solution to making my own beer. Two groups have projects on Kickstarter that seek to make brewing gallons of beer as easy as a shot of espresso.

The PicoBrew Zymatic and Brewbot are both described as “Brewing Appliances.” The PicoBrew is a bit smaller due to the fact that the water tank is a separate component, conveniently a keg that is also the recipient of the finished product. The two part design makes it easier to store and keep tucked away.

The BrewBot is truly amazing as an all-in-one device, in spite of the fact that it’s very large. It is nice looking though, with a facade of rough-hewn wood and metal. The system is controlled via a smart phone app which adds a welcome shot of modernity to the process. The app prompts you when it’s time to make additions, while handling the heavy lifting of timers and temperature control on its own. The goal for the project is $160,000 and a contribution of $2,500 will get you a Brewbot of your very own.

The PicoBrew is internet enabled and handles the entire process from start to finish. Very much like brewing a pot of coffee, you load in your grains, hops and water.

At the flick of a switch, the PicoBrew handles the rest. The wifi compatibility allows it to access a large supply of online recipes, including ones that the brewer can input themselves. The PicoBrew has a $150,000 target and donations starting at $1,600 will receive a production unit. cs

Pierre Gonnord, portraying the South by briana gervat

The timing was impeccable. Within a week of one another, the Nobel Prize announced the recipients of this year’s awards, and the SCAD Museum of Art opened the exhibition of French photographer Pierre Gonnord’s Portraying the South, a collection of 10 photographs commemorating the 50th anniversary of the death of American author and Nobel Prize winner William Faulkner.

The exhibit is on display until January 26.

As a French artist living and working in Spain, Gonnord photographs marginalized communities that include gypsies, the blind, the homeless and the outcasts of the world. In

2012, he turned his attention to the American South. During his sojourn in the South, Gonnord traveled to Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia, photographing people and places along the way.

What resulted are 10 photos that

the ruins of churches or in the eyes of those he photographed but after viewing these images, it is evident that these truths remain hidden from him.

There are three landscapes in this collection from across the region, each projecting sweeping romantic notions of the south. Cumberland is of an oak grove where the permanence of the southern summer can be felt in the stillness of the trees and the coolness of the shadows. Close up, the image is blurry but further away it becomes focused; the impenetrable branches can be seen as a metaphor for the entanglements of time or of a place that time has forgotten.

Capturing haunting memories of an unforgotten history, Old Sheldon is of the Sheldon ruins in Yemassee, South Carolina. In the center of the photograph a single vine hangs from the branches of a roofless brick building as Spanish moss drapes from the boughs beyond the archways of the church, but the photograph is taken too close, and the past is too far away.

In Dickensonia II, rusted balconies rise above a doorway that can no be longer entered; even the brown vines

have given up their hold on a house defeated by time and neglect. These three photographs document the south that one expects to encounter; churches destroyed by the fires of war, plantations overrun by disuse, and inaccessible groves of live oaks. But as a whole they remain conventional landscapes that lack reverence.

Perhaps if they had been taken in the gloaming that Faulkner describes so perfectly in his novels, rather than the seemingly obscure times of day that the shutter was released, then these images would truly commemorate one of the greatest literary figures of American history.

Interspersed between the landscapes are portraits and it is evident that this where Gonnord finds strength. While the people that Gonnord photographs may not be the characters that one might find within the pages of Faulkner’s novels, they are their own characters on display in larger than life, high-gloss prints with black backgrounds that force the viewer to return each unwavering gaze.

The photographs reflect off of one

another, as if each portrait is telling the other of their hard lives hidden behind soft skin. The last photograph on the left is Karl with his brown eyes and wild white beard. With one brow raised his glance is at once playful and penetrating, resistant and acceptant.

Also along the wall is Douglass, who is on the verge of words and the edge of life. Each portrait is a reminder of things that time has not forgotten; the promise of youth, the strength of years and the frailty of time.

Anyone who ventures to the South brings with them preconceived notions of the area and its people.

Pierre Gonnord is no exception. To capture the essence of the South is no easy feat and Gonnord should be commended for taking on a task so daunting.

And yet, Portraying the South leads viewers from beyond this region to believe that the South is something that can be experienced in a single photograph, in a single hallway, and in a single day. But for those of us that live in the South, we know that that is not possible. cs

capture the people that were born in the South, the vines that grew from its soil and the red bricks made from its clay earth, but something is missing. Faulkner’s portrayal of the south was a lifelong endeavor. Gonnord’s encounter lasted only 90 days.

Although these images were intended to pay homage to the Nobel Laureate and the South, they merely serve as a reminder that three months is not a lifetime, it is only a brief tryst.

It is easy to understand why Gonnord came to the South for his residency. There is an inexplicable draw to this region that is not only embedded in the American psyche but also extends to those curious about history and the places that people call home. What is difficult to understand is whether his anachronistic approach to these images portrays Faulkner’s south or the artist’s own.

Perhaps Gonnord arrived in search of the old universal truths that Faulkner spoke of, the truths that the South is said to still uphold, “love and honor and pity and pride and compassion and sacrifice.” Perhaps Gonnord sought these verities among

OPENING OCT. 18: Escape Plan The Fifth Estate Carrie

Captain Phillips Thirteen years after playing in the surf with Wilson the volleyball, Tom Hanks returns to the water in Captain Phillips, an involving adaptation of Richard Phillips’ fact-based book A Captain’s Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALS, and Dangerous Days at Sea. Despite its real-life hook, director Paul Greengrass doesn’t employ the fauxdocumentary format he used for United 93 (or even Bloody Sunday); instead, this adheres closer to the slick style of the two Bourne films he helmed (Supremacy and Ultimatum).

This concession toward Hollywood is OK, though, since it allows Phillips to be played by an A-list actor whose strength is that he generally keeps his head down and his eyes forward when tackling a dramatic role.

Hanks has played ordinary guys forced to be heroes in past pictures (Saving Private Ryan, for one), but here his age and demeanor provide him with a gruffness we haven’t quite seen from him before addressing his men aboard the cargo ship Maersk Alabama, Phillips demonstrates that while his bark is worse than his bite, he has plenty of both.

Once the vessel is hijacked by Somali pirates looking for a big payload, Phillips

does everything he can to keep his crew safe, but what’s unexpected is the way he reacts differently to each of the invaders. Most prominent is his relationship with the head pirate Muse (Barkhad Abdi), a wiry man who’s usually smart enough to know when Phillips is misleading him - and definitely smart enough to repeatedly identify himself and his men as “not Al-Qaeda.”

It’s a pleasure watching the two actors go head-to-head, with Abdi’s intensity playing off Hanks’ anxiety. But mostly, it’s just a pleasure to see Hanks stay away from the bathetic likes of Larry Crowne and Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close and ply his trade on something worthwhile.

Gravity

OOOP

To listen to some overzealous scribes tell it, writer-director Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity is so much the instant masterpiece that it

(George Clooney), two members of the Explorer space shuttle crew.

Kowalski is a wisecracking veteran astronaut, so comfortable with his job that he can perform it while regaling the folks at Mission Control with tales of his past exploits on Earth (Mardi Gras, to be specific).

Stone, on the other hand, is a rookie rocketeer, all frayed nerves and bouts of self-doubt on her first voyage into space. Their patch-up mission is going as planned until the debris from a destroyed Russian satellite heads their way, crippling the space shuttle and killing everyone except Kowalski and Stone.

(Trust me, this is not a spoiler: These poor souls are deemed expendable even more quickly than those unfortunate “redshirts” who accompanied Kirk and McCoy down to a planet’s surface and were always eliminated well before the commercial break.)

Stone is understandably a panicky mess as she’s free-floating through space with her suit’s oxygen supply running perilously low; that leaves continues on p. 38

almost makes Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey look as accomplished as Plan 9 from Outer Space by comparison. Well, no.

To be frank, it’s not even Cuaron’s best picture, not with Y Tu Mama Tambien and Children of Men on his resume. Yet what it lacks in sociopolitical heft and laser-point characterizations it makes up for in sheer visual spectacle, with a side plate of spiritual musing to allow it to emerge as more than just an industrial light and magic show.

It’s an absorbing movie that definitely needs to be seen - and definitely needs to be seen in IMAX 3-D (for once, the extra expense is worth it).

After that initial viewing - particularly when it’s viewed on a flat screen TV down the road - it’s anybody’s guess how it will hold up.

For now, Cuaron places us in outer space in a manner designed to take breaths away. Working with director of photography Emmanuel Lubezski and a crack FX team to create a youare-there environment, he puts us in the company of Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) and Matt Kowalski

it to Kowalski to not only offer her the necessary support but also devise a plan that will allow them to safely return to Earth.

That’s a tall order, given the nonfunctional status of the Explorer and the fact that the neighboring space station is just a small dot on the horizon, almost certainly too far to be reached when Stone’s diminished air supply and Kowalski’s diminished fuel supply are taken into account. Houston, we have a problem indeed.

Like Roger Deakins and Michael Ballhaus, Lubezski is a brilliant cinematographer who should have won an Oscar years ago (past credits include Sleepy Hollow, Children of Men and The Tree of Life). I suspect he might finally cop one for this film, which registers as such an extraordinary technical feat that college film courses of the future might place it in regular rotation as required viewing.

There’s one shot that’s certain to become a classic on its own: An image of a fetal-positioned Stone, it’s the most significant when it comes to providing the film with a connection to 2001 and its iconic Star Child.

Indeed, all of the visuals are so staggering, so awe-inspiring, that they bring up thoughts of the existence of God (or not; take your pick), the mysteries of the universe and the fatal beauty of everything that surrounds us without any need for accompanying text.

But we do get that text, in the form of a past tragedy that haunts Stone and informs her every move.

On paper, I could take or leave this narrative thread, but Bullock’s excellent performance - the best of her career - makes me glad it’s there, as she navigates the attendant emotions beautifully.

Although the role is hardly a stretch, Clooney is fine as the smooth operator who’s quick on his feet (even in weightless space) and even quicker in his head, and it’s a nice touch to have Ed Harris provide the voice from Mission Control (Harris, of course, performed similar MC duty as the man who brought Tom Hanks and company home in Apollo 13 and even donned the astronaut suit himself in The Right Stuff).

While the sparse screenplay cowritten by Cuaron and his son Jonas Cuaron will strike some as suitably thrifty and others as appallingly threadbare, there’s no denying it

sports a few moldy conventions. Did Clooney’s Kowalski really have to be an astronaut who’s on his last assignment before he’s set to retire? Does one poignant sequence have to so completely ape one from Brian De Palma’s painful Mission to Mars?

And, most crucially, did the Cuarons really have to include a gotcha moment in their film? There’s a late sequence that’s so thuddingly obvious and stupid, it either should have been excised or presented in a different manner. As it stands, it will provide a brief moment of joy for the slow thinkers in the audience while inducing groans from almost everyone else.

This eye-popper of a movie demands to be viewed in the spectacular now.

DON JON

OOOP

Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the talented young actor who’s appeared in such hits as Inception and (500) Days of Summer, stars as the title character in Don Jon, a comedy that also marks his feature-film writing and directing debuts. Centering around the recreational use of online porn, the film’s general, uh, thrust concerns Jon as he must decide whether to continue his lifelong habit of watching erotica or give it all up for his new girlfriend Barbara (Scarlett Johansson), a woman who is grossed out by it and demands that he choose between her and his online ladies.

Being a novice behind the camera, we can pretty much expect GordonLevitt to allow his story to unfold - and end - in one of two ways. The more conventional is that Jon does indeed unplug himself from porn and devote his life exclusively to Barbara; the other is that he follow the advice that Dan Savage regularly doles out in his Savage Love column and elect to DTMFA, cutting loose an unreasonable woman who would require him to make such an extreme choice and sticking with the smut. But hold the phone: Proving he’s more than just a pretty face, Gordon-Levitt goes beyond these simplistic choices in his screenplay and blazes the way with a neat series of turns that left me surprised by the story’s developments and impressed with its creator’s generosity of spirit and understanding of human nature.

The script’s wild card comes in the form of Julianne Moore as Esther, a

woman Jon meets in his communitycollege class. Jon is initially annoyed by this sad person who pries into his affairs and appears to want to share her baggage with him, but as time passes, he realizes he could use another friend.

RUSH

OOO

The latest picture from the Frost/ Nixon team of director Ron Howard and writer Peter Morgan, relates the story of the bitter rivalry between Niki Lauda and James Hunt, the highly competitive Formula 1 drivers who hated each other with a burning passion back in the 1970s.

There’s just one thing: Lauda and Hunt were actually friends in real life.

Ah, well, damn veracity and full speed ahead. While dramatic license was clearly applied to give the film its skeletal outline, it gets so many other details right that it even has the full blessing of Lauda himself (Hunt passed away years ago). And it doesn’t completely stint on the reallife dynamics of both men, who were fierce rivals on the racetrack and pursued markedly different lives off it.

The British Hunt (played by Australian actor Chris Hemsworth) is clearly the more outgoing of the pair, with a pronounced interest in sex, booze and a rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle. He’s animated and outgoing, and everyone wants to orbit his sunny presence.

In contrast, the Austrian Lauda (played by German actor Daniel Bruhl) is not very attractive (his nickname among drivers was “the rat,” due to his prominent buck teeth), tends to show little emotion and holds most people around him in contempt.

The film traces their initial forays into the world of racing, with the bulk of the running time focusing on the incredible 1976 season. Lauda is the reigning Formula 1 world champion after finishing first in 1975, and this new season finds the two men’s ontrack competition being played out until the very last race of the season, a dangerous, rain-battered excursion at the Japanese Grand Prix at Mount Fuji.

Between the excitement of the Formula 1 sequences and the excellent performances by Hemsworth and Bruhler, even those who couldn’t care less about auto racing should get a premium rush from a film that never eases up on the entertainment value.

PRISONERS

OOOP

Denis Villeneuve’s Prisoners feels like an AMBER Alert writ large, using the queasy notion of missing children as a starting point for its exploration of several issues that aren’t black and white but instead rot away inside a malodorous area of gray.

It’s Thanksgiving in a small Pennsylvania town, and the Dovers - dad Keller (Hugh Jackman), mom Grace (Maria Bello), teenage son Ralph (Dylan Minnette) and young daughter Anna (Erin Gerasimovich) - and the Birches - dad Franklin (Terrence Howard), mom Nancy (Viola Davis), teenage daughter Eliza (Zoe Borde) and young daughter Joy (Kyla Drew Simmons) - have gathered at the Birch residence for a sumptuous meal.

But after Anna and Joy wander off down the street to the Dover house to fetch a toy whistle, they never return, sending the adults into a panic. The only possible clue to the girls’ whereabouts is a van previously seen parked down the street, a vehicle that’s later discovered in a parking lot.

Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal), a cop who reportedly has never met a case he couldn’t solve, is quick to apprehend the driver, a young man by the name of Alex Jones (Paul Dano).

Keller is convinced that Alex is the one who snatched the girls, but Loki isn’t so sure: There’s no evidence in the van of foul play, and, as Paul’s aunt (Melissa Leo) confirms, Alex has the mind of a 10-year-old boy and seems unlikely to have pulled off such a caper. But there’s no convincing Keller: He alone has been privy to clues that strongly suggest the simpleminded man was responsible, so he snatches Alex at gunpoint, keeping him bound in an abandoned house and repeatedly torturing him in the hopes that a confession will eventually be whispered through bloody and battered lips.

The script by Aaron Guzikowski is wonderfully dense, with very little feeling extraneous. The film is like a lean cut of meat, with all the fat trimmed off and the rest providing the necessary protein to keep functioning.

To its credit, Prisoners refuses to be held captive by any rigid rules of conformist conduct, choosing instead to present moviegoers with a rusty moral compass and asking them to navigate their own choppy waters. CS

ARIES

(March 21-April 19) This is an indelicate oracle. If you’re offended by the mention of bodily functions in a prophetic context you should STOP READING NOW. Still here? OK. I was walking through my neighborhood when I spied an older woman standing over her aged Yorkshire Terrier next to a bush. The dog was in discomfort, squatting and shivering but unable to relieve himself. “He’s having trouble getting his business done,” his owner confided in me.

“He’s been struggling for ten minutes.” I felt a rush of sympathy for the distressed creature. With a flourish of my hand, I said, “More power to you, little one. May you purge your burden.” The dog instantly defecated. Shrieking her approval, the woman exclaimed, “It’s like you waved a magic wand!” Now I am invoking my wizardry in your behalf, Aries, although in a less literal way: *More power to you. May you purge your psychological burden.*

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20) “You won’t do it at the right time,” warns writer Kate Moller. “You’ll be late. You’ll be early. You’ll get re-routed. You’ll get delayed. You’ll change your mind. You’ll change your heart. It’s not going to turn out the way you thought it would.”

And yet, Moller concludes -- are you ready for the punch line? -- “it will be better.” In describing your future, Taurus, I couldn’t have said it better myself. Fate may be comical in the way it plays with your expectations and plans, but I predict you will ultimately be glad about the outcome.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20) In the coming weeks, you Geminis could be skillful and even spectacular liars. You will have the potential to deceive more people, bend more truths, and even fool yourself better than anyone else.

On the other hand, you will also have the knack to channel this same slipperiness in a different direction. You could tell imaginative stories that rouse people from their ruts. You might explore the positive aspects of Kurt Vonnegut’s theory that we tend to become what we pretend to be.

Or you could simply be so creative and playful and improvisational in everything you do that you catalyze a lot of inspirational fun. Which

way will you go?

extra fairy dust.

CANCER

LIBRA

I’m all in favor of you indulging your instinct for self-protection. As a Cancerian myself, I understand that one of the ways you take good care of yourself is by making sure that you feel reasonably safe.

Having said that, I also want to remind you that your mental and emotional health requires you to leave your comfort zone on a regular basis. Now is one of those times. The call to adventure will arrive soon. If you make yourself ready and eager for changes, the changes that come will kick your ass in mostly educational and pleasurable ways.

“The door to the invisible must be visible,” wrote the surrealist spiritual author Rene Daumal.

This describes an opportunity that is on the verge of becoming available to you. The opportunity is still invisible simply because it has no precedents in your life; you can’t imagine what it is. But just recently a door to that unknown realm has become visible to you. I suggest you open it, even though you have almost no idea what’s on the other side.

LEO

In Tim Burton’s film *Alice in Wonderland,* Alice asks the White Rabbit, “How long is forever?” The talking rabbit replies, “Sometimes, just one second.” That’s an important piece of information for you to keep in mind, Scorpio.

It implies that “forever” may not necessarily, in all cases, last until the universe dies out five billion years from now. “Forever” might actually turn out to be one second or 90 minutes or a month or a year or who knows? So how does this apply to your life right now? Well, a situation you assumed was permanent could ultimately change -- perhaps much faster than you have imagined. An apparently everlasting decree or perpetual feeling could unexpectedly shift, as if by magic.

(June 21-July 22)

(July 23-Aug. 22) Who exactly do you want to be when you grow up, and what is the single most important experience you need in order to make that happen? What riches do you want to possess when you are finally wise enough to make enlightened use of them, and how can you boost your eligibility for those riches? Which one of your glorious dreams is not quite ripe enough for you to fulfill it, but is primed to be dramatically ripened in the coming weeks? If I were you, Leo, I would meditate on these questions. Answers will be forthcoming.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22) At an elementary school festival some years ago, I performed the role of the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland. One of my tasks was to ask kids to make a wish, whereupon I sprinkled their heads with magic fairy dust. Some of the kids were skeptical about the whole business. They questioned the proposition that the fairy dust would make their wishes come true. A few were so suspicious that they walked away without making a wish or accepting the fairy dust. Yet every single one of those distrustful kids came back later to tell me they had changed their minds, and every single one asked me to bestow more than the usual amount of fairy dust. They are your role models, Virgo. Like them, you should return to the scene of your doubts and demand

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21) “I need a little language such as lovers use,” wrote Virginia Woolf in her novel *The Waves.* “I need no words. Nothing neat . . . I need a howl; a cry.” If I’m reading the astrological omens correctly, Sagittarius, Woolf is speaking for you right now. You should be willing to get guttural and primal . . . to trust the teachings of silence and the crazy wisdom of your body . . . to exult in the inarticulate mysteries and bask in the dumfounding brilliance of the Eternal Wow. Are you brave enough to love what can’t be put into words?

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19) “I get bored with the idea of becoming a better listener,” writes business blogger Penelope Trunk. “Why would I do that when interrupting people is so much

faster?” If your main goal is to impose your will on people and get things over with as soon as possible, Capricorn, by all means follow Trunk’s advice this week.

But if you have other goals -- like building consensus, finding out important information you don’t know yet, and winning help from people who feel affection for you -- I suggest that you find out how to have maximum fun by being an excellent listener.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18) The last time meteorologists officially added a new type of cloud formation to the International Cloud Atlas was 1951. But they’re considering another one now.

It’s called “asperatus,” which is derived from the Latin term *undulatus asperatus,* meaning “turbulent undulation.” According to the Cloud Appreciation Society, it resembles “the surface of a choppy sea from below.”

But although it looks rough and agitated, it almost never brings a storm. Let’s make asperatus your mascot for the next few weeks.

Aquarius. I suspect that you, too, will soon discover something new under the sun. It may at first look turbulent, but I bet it will mostly just be interesting.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20) Should you try private experiments that might generate intimate miracles? Yes! Should you dream up extravagant proposals and schedule midnight rendezvous!

By all means! Should you pick up where your fantasies left off the last time you got too timid to explore further? Naturally! Should you find out what “as raw as the law allows” actually means? I encourage you! Should you question taboos that are no longer relevant?

Most assuredly! Should you burn away the rotting pain with a show of liberated strength? Beyond a doubt! Should you tap into the open secret at the core of your wild beauty! Of course!
