THE PHONES ARE RINGING off the hook at Consumer Credit Counseling Services in Savannah.

“We have five lines coming in,” says CCCS President H.B. “Sonny” Colley.

“We can’t seem to answer the phone quickly enough.”

That’s because, in the wake of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, CCCS has been named as an approved, nonprofit budget and credit counseling agency. Colley’s life hasn’t been the same since.

“We were approved on Sept. 15,” he says. “We had 30 days to get our ducks in a row.”

The new law took effect Oct. 17.

The act makes it more difficult for consumers to erase debt by forcing more people to file under Chapter 13 bankruptcy instead of Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

Portions of the bill are controversial.

For example, the determining formula rewards debtors who have many assets that are heavily mortgaged and those with large amounts of unsecured debt. Since alimony and child support payments are classified as priority debts, it is easier for people who owe back support to file under Chapter 7.

Democrats have charged that the credit card industry spent millions of dollars lobbying in support of the act and that it benefits those companies far more than it does consumers.

Opponents also argue that the act essentially makes the government “a bill collector for private companies,” which could lead to criminal prosecutions that would actually be best left to civil courts.

In the days before the act passed into law, debtors rushed to file under the

old law. Those who couldn’t beat the deadline are now trying to meet requirements imposed under the new law.

“People must come in for consumer credit counseling prior to going into bankruptcy,” Colley says. “A lot of people have rushed to get the counseling.”

Is the new bill a good one? Will it have much effect on debtors in the Savannah area? The answer to that depends on who you ask.

Not everyone is a fan of the law. “The bill is horrible,” says bankruptcy attorney Judson C. Hill. “It is an absurd waste of time. Nobody wins with the new bill.”

Hill says despite the fuss, the law will have little impact in our area. “It will have very little impact anywhere in the Deep South,” he says.

“The bill is designed to make the rest of the country do what we’re doing already -- not file Chapter 7, but

file Chapter 13,” Hill says. “Nationally, many more people are filing Chapter 7. In the Southern District of Georgia, in our district, the highest percentage are already filing Chapter 13.”

The bill is designed to keep people who are making over the median income of their state from filing Chapter 7, Hill says.

“If a debtor’s income is over the median, you can’t file Chapter 7. That will affect very few people in our area -maybe 10 percent of the people who file.

For a family of four, the mean income is $58,000 in Georgia. We just don’t get that many families filing bankruptcy in our area that are earning $58,000 or more,” Hill says.

“The primary fact is that the bill makes the attorney’s work a lot harder,” he says. “There is so much misinformation out there.”

Hill says his office has been swamped with people who say, “I know I

About the new bankruptcy bill President Bush signed the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 into law April 20, and it took effect Oct. 17.

The act makes it more difficult for consumers to erase debt by forcing more people to file under Chapter 13 bankruptcy instead of Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Under Chapter 13 bankruptcy, consumers must repay at least part of their debt, while under Chapter 7 bankruptcy, their debt is discharged. A means test is imposed on wouldbe filers, which makes it more difficult to receive a Chapter 7 discharge.

The original legislation was introduced during the Clinton Administration.

Although it had more bipartisan support at that time, President Clinton vetoed it. The bill languished for years because of disagreements about the means test and a discussion of whether anti-abortion groups could use bankruptcy to discharge fines levied against them.

It was re-introduced by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R- Iowa, chairman of the Finance Committee, and was supported by President Bush and championed by House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. ◗

can’t file bankruptcy anymore, but....” even though that’s not true.

“There will be an increase in costs, but it will not be so significant,” Hill says.

“It will not impact the client. If you file Chapter 13, the attorney’s fee is included as part of the payment plan.”

The reasons people file for bankruptcy are pretty much what you’d expect. “Loss of a job, illness of the head of the household, uninsured medical expenses and divorce, which is a huge cause,” Hill says.

“Also, there is too much credit available,” he says. “People get a barrage of credit card offers. It is really easy to obtain credit. People don’t have the ability to pay their debts, yet they get more credit cards.”

While the reasons for bankruptcy differ, it would be difficult to design a bill that would fit each situation, Hill says.

“To do it any other way, the courts would have to consider each case on a caseby-case basis,” he says.

“If you’re already in a bad situation, it will be difficult to pull out because the economy is the way it is now,” Hill says.

“By the time you get here, chances are you are at the end of the road and bankruptcy is the only thing you can do.”

Bankruptcy no longer carries the stigma it once did, Hill says. “Thousands and thousands and thousands of people have filed bankruptcy in Chatham County,” he says.

Republican legislators supported the bill, while Democrats opposed it. Hill says he doubts many Republican legislators would say the bill is a bad one.

costs, it is no less in need of help, Barrow says. This group is the direct result of the government calling upon a volunteer, part-time army, he says. “When they are called up, their businesses fail,� Barrow says. “These people are answering our country’s call. These are people who have a legitimate need for bankruptcy protection because of a military call-up.�

Barrow says there is “plenty of evidence� that the credit card industry did lobby heavily for passage of the bill. “There is an explosion of consumer debt. It is truly amazing how many people are solicited by credit card companies,� Barrow says. “There is no question there are a number of folks who have more debt than they are able to handle (because of credit cards).�

Barrow says there is a “vast disparity� in how financial problems impact people. “Women file for bankruptcy much more than men,� he says. “That’s because there are single parents trying to do the job of two people. African Americans and Hispanics are five times more likely to file for bankruptcy than whites. Until we close the gap, we need to take a look at why this is happening.�

While Barrow believes the bankruptcy law is unfair as it stands, he does think something needs to be done about persons with numerous assets who are able to discharge their obligations through bankruptcy. “There are millionaire deadbeats,� he says.

Despite the grief it has caused him, Colley thinks the bill is a good idea. “This is good legislation,� he says. “Under Chapter 7, what is called straight bankruptcy, a person can walk away from their debts, even though they have assets and income. “Under the new law, if they have assets or income,they have to file Chapter 13 and pay back a portion of what they owe,� Colley says. “It is going

‘A much higher percentage of personal bankruptcies are filed by people who can’t pay their medical bills. A lot of people are losing everything. There are many, many people who are just one serious illness away from bankruptcy.’ -- Congressman John Barrow, D-Savannah to be more expensive for the consumer to go bankrupt.�

Though he approves of the legislation, Colley is worried about the impact on his agency, the only one in this area to be approved by the U.S. Trustees Executive Office to do the credit counseling. “I’m afraid it’s going to open wide,� he says. “I haven’t been able to sleep much,�

Colley says. “I wake up in the middle of the night and start thinking about what all we’ve got to do.�

As a direct result of the increase in business, Colley is adding staff and office space as quickly as possible. “We’re hiring people in order to meet the demand,� he says. “We don’t know what the load is going to be,� Colley says. “I’ve hired three people already and two others have offers. There are others I can call on if I see the load and know it is going to be tough. We’ll have to play it by ear.�

The CCCS offices now are located both upstairs and downstairs. “We had to rent a whole other office upstairs and furnish it,� Colley says. “We had to buy all new computers.�

That’s certainly different from when Colley, a former banker, first came to

CCCS eight years ago. “When I started here, we had three people and one office,� he says. “We have five offices now and 13 to 14 people.�

Colley says it’s best for debtors to avoid bankruptcy. “When a person goes bankrupt, it affects their credit score in a very negative way,� he says. “That makes it more difficult for them to get a mortgage, an apartment, cell service, a lot of things,� Colley says. “It can affect their future employment opportunities. It can affect them in many areas.�

Financial problems are extremely stressful to the person who is experiencing them. “All this stuff means a tremendous amount of strain on someone,� Colley says.

There are many reasons why a debtor experiences problems. “Some people have medical situations, something they have no way of avoiding,�

Colley says. “Different things happen to different people.�

Some fall into credit card debt. For example, one CCCS client owed $95,000 in credit card debt alone. “We’re not a society of savers,�

Colley says. “We want instant gratifi-

cation. “People in the past anticipated and used the layaway system. We want it now -- we’ll pay for it later. Because we aren’t good savers, we find ourselves in a crunch.�

At least part of the problem has to do with creditors. “I’ve seen people with five, six and seven credit cards from one company,� Colley says.

Worse, credit card companies are targeting college students. “They load them up on credit cards with the hope that when they get out of school, they will use their card as their preferred credit card,� Colley says, adding that instead, the students are loaded with debt before they even have a job. “They can’t get a house or a car because they can’t qualify.�

Last year, an estimated 1.6 million to 2 million people filed for bankruptcy nationwide. The top three reasons given for filing were loss of employment, a contested divorce and medical issues. “In our area, 8,000 went bankrupt,�

Colley says. “More people are using Chapter 13, the wage earner plan, where the person pays a portion back to the creditor.�

CCCS has a proven track record and is a member of the National Foundation for Consumer Credit, the most respected credit counseling trade organization in the U.S, Colley says. “Consumer Credit Counseling Services is a non-profit 5013C agency that was founded in 1965,� he says. “We are accredited,� Colley says. “Every four years we have to go through the accrediting process. Our counselors are certified. Most come from the financial community.�

Colley himself was a banker who introduced one of the first national credit cards in this area. He says consumer credit counseling allows a consumer to pay off credit card debts faster with less money.

limit fees. “A consumer makes a payment to us through a debt-management plan,” Colley says.

The interest rate usually is lowered as well.

“If you have a $2,500 charge card with a rate of 19 percent, it will take 30 to 40 years to pay it out,” Colley says.

With consumer credit counseling, the client is out of debt in a much shorter time. For example, the woman who owed $95,000 in credit card debt was paying a total of $2,637.55 a month in payments, but without late fees and over-the-limit fees, is now paying $1,332.56 per month. “”Here’s the important part,” Colley says. “She’ll be out of debt in 53 months.

Everyone who walks in here will walk out with a plan showing them how to get out of debt. We’re often able to cut the payment in half.

“Everyone who comes in goes through a budgeting session,” Colley says. “We talk about budgeting tips, the way to build a savings account, how to save on the food bill. We talk about consumer laws.”

For information about consumer credit counseling, call Consumer Credit Counseling Services at 691-2227 or stop by the CCCS office at 7505 Waters Ave. to pick up an application. Office hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and evenings by appointment.

issues. We also offer housing counseling free of charge. Education is power.”

There’s more than one way to do credit counseling. “We’re the only agency locally approved to do face-to-face counseling and we also do Internet and phone counseling,” Colley says.

“The most important thing is to sit down and make a budget and live by that budget. Make sure you have a savings program you can call on in an emergency -- such as new tires or transmission repair,” Colley says.

“Companies do that. The government does it, too. Big business have budgets -if they’re successful, they do that. Why can’t consumers do the same thing?”

Colley believes CCCS can help most people who are facing financial hardship.

A storyline that never gets old FOR PEOPLE OF A CERTAIN AGE, The Big Chill will always have a certain resonance. You know the storyline.

Thirtysomething college friends get together after a long absence for an untimely funeral and spend their weekend together weaving back and forth between the past and the present.

A few months ago, driving outside Santa Fe, I remember a couple I knew in the Ozarks who had moved west. So I grab a cellphone, call information and spell the name. An operator says, “For no extra charge, I can connect you.”

With no time to think of the consequences, I say, “OK.” Seconds later I’m on the line with someone I haven’t spoken to, thought of, or communicated with in 20 years.

“Hi,” I start, lamely.

“C’mon over,” she said as if we had just seen one another yesterday. “I’m babysitting my grandchildren.”

Talk about the present. But grandchildren? Impossible. Already I think it’s a mistake, but I go anyway.

Four wrongs turns and two conversations later I’m at the house. Rick, her

husband, a hippy carpenter, is now Richard and a successful developer.

Moon, their daughter, is now Miranda and the mother of four with a husband in Iraq. Donna, with the same space between her teeth and good-looking mole on her cheek, is an oil painter.

“Remember the time you drove me and my brother down to Miami Beach to see my grandmother and you let me eat all that junk food and I threw up all over your car?” said Moon/Miranda.

No. But I didn’t doubt it.

“Remember my long hair?” said Rick/Richard, taking off his cap to show his remaining six strands.

Since we’re all separated by a mere six degrees of separation, I told them about a Savannah friend, Marilyn, who was married at their Eureka Springs, Ark., house. Then they told me about a recent wedding they attended of another friend’s daughter. After an hour, we took some pictures and parted.

That same trip I had lunch with an old college roommate in Boulder, Co., who had Googled me. She reminded me about the time she phoned me in Chicago but that I couldn’t talk because a mouse was in my apartment. Problem was I never called back.

“I was troubled,” I stumbled.

We talked more about now - she was studying for a Bat Mitzvah - than then.

A few months ago, after listening to Christopher O’Riley’s delightful radio program, “From the Top,” I wondered if it might be the same preteen whose mother, Ceci, a friend from Chicago, used to nag. “Christopher O’Riley, get in here and practice your piano.”

I met Ceci at a public TV station when I quit teaching high school English - the only thing I ever thought to do - and started work as a clerk-typist, the only other job I felt qualified for in the late ‘60’s.

So in the middle of some sleepless night, remembering Ceci had moved to Pittsburgh, I Googled the name and found an article connecting her to Christopher. Sometime later, I called her up, too, which is when I learned we both loved the series Deadwood. A good sign.

And when she invited me to a 70th birthday party at a friend’s home in Ligonier, Penn., I went. Christopher was in Belfast playing a concert, but her three other children were there.

One reminded me of the time I went to their house with a bad sunburn and Ceci put me in the bathtub with vinegar.

Another said I had a cool apartment with blue walls. A third, strictly in the present, made for all the guests a belt of small Bibles, a Bible belt. Very clever.

Two other men I knew from Chicago - but who now live in California - were also there, 40 years into a relationship.

“I’m not moving any more plants!” said Dick when he saw me, grinning, referring to all the times in Chicago they helped me. Some things never change.

Since we had the whole weekend together we didn’t have to fit everything into an hour. We could just hang out. We had time to read Frank Rich’s column out loud about the Libby indictment, then read David Brooks’ spin.

We could throw a little dish about people we’d never see again, tease Ceci about her four husbands, eat some glorious food, talk about books.

“I feel like a Rockefeller here,” I said of the plush, WASPY surroundings.

“Well, you look like a Fishman,” said John, not missing a beat.

“But the best thing,” announced Ceci, “is we have an extra hour.”

An extra hour to stay in that suspended space before returning to the real world - and no funeral to attend.

What could be better? ◗

Following are several notes we received from female inmates at the Chatham County Jail regarding Aberjhani’s recent cover story, “Woman to Woman”:

Editor, I truly thank you for your help in getting our needs out to the public. As a felon I know how hard it is to get a chance out there again. If family and other people in the public read the articles we may have a better chance at

Thanks for cover story Editor, Great job on covering the work of Skye Edeawo and Miriam Center.

I recently was in contact with Mama Skye and her influence and inspiration has even reached me in Atlanta, Georgia.

I consult with her and get her feedback on the resource directory for (male and female) ex-offenders.

I understand the challenges that exoffenders go through everywhere. They continue to be punished on the outside, even after they have served their time and paid their debt for their crimes.

Very few places have someone like Mama Skye. Savannah is very lucky to have her.

The Film Festival blues Editor, With the Savannah Film Festival’s 7pm showings sold out since Wednesday, Oct. 19, all the excitement of attending a world class film festival is undercut by its inaccessibility to the general public.

Why are so few tickets available?

Why doesn’t SCAD run films in the evenings in both the Lucas and the Trustees Theatres, as they do during the daytime? There certainly seems to be enough interest, gauging on how quickly films have sold out these past two years.

It’s frustrating to open Connect and find an entire section devoted as a guide to this festival, yet most of your readers will find there is no opportunity to enjoy these films. By the time your Oct. 26 issue hit the stands, the major films were unavailable.

The Trustees Theatre ticket box advises that one could come an hour or two early for a showing, and hope for extra tickets or seats from those who don’t shop up -- but how appealing is that to families in this community? I know too many people who would be avid festival goers but are now largely shut out from participating.

May the Film Festival do better next year.

The program itself has really been an inspiration to me as well as other female inmates in the Chatham County Jail. We need more resources like Project Welcome Home to help the women of Savannah. I give thanks to “Mama Sky” and Miriam Center.

Editor, Thanks so much for publishing the story “Woman to Woman” regarding women who are incarcerated. Project Welcome Home is an awesome program and it’s important for people to know about the problems women face getting back into society. Not many people are willing to help us, and it’s a shame there aren’t more programs like this one.

Thanks for getting the word out. We can use all the help we can get.

Editor, It is true, there are so many addicted mothers who need so much help. It is so hard being put right back on the streets where every day you’re confronted with drugs. So many women have lost everything and there is no one left and no hope. Project Welcome Home has given me hope that there may finally be some help for me out there. Every addict does not want to remain an addict. As soon as I am released I hope that I can help this program in some kind of way. Helping others can only help me! I am desperate to be heard, sometimes I really feel lost.

‘A letter in defense of apparently sub-par servers’ Editor, Point by point, I would like to take Dominic Moraco’s recent letter about the Savannah restaurant scene apart, mostly with questions. (There is no easier way to get a rise out of a person than to ask multiple questions, and in print no less, especially anonymously).

Question/Rule 1. Has Mr. Moraco ever been a waiter, waitress, or server?

The first rule is, “Have a clean uniform on.” Well, being a server is not always a clean job: salads must be made, food must be served, tables must be cleaned, drinks must be filled, etc., etc.

In Atlanta there are most likely people who take care of most of these tasks, other than the servers, of course.

Unfortunately, in Savannah, restaurants don’t always have the funding for “that type of thing”, at least not the restaurants I have been a patron of (or worked at)... but I’m guessing Mr. Moraco is referring to up-scale restaurants But I will attempt to make this brief, for I have many grievances with those who castigate fellow human beings for not attending to ones personal “needs” because said human is busy taking care of another’s personal “needs.” And I go

on and on... so we move on to the second question.

Question/Rule 2. Why set YOUR standards for someone else? In paragraph 3-4, Mr. Moraco comments on hygiene and the like, while saying in essence, if you’re a male you must shave everyday. OUCH! I’m a male; I have two testicles to prove that. I cannot shave everyday; that type of regimen makes my neck bleed quite regularly, and who wants to see that before they are served their meal?

I wear deodorant, sometimes it wears off because I’ve been fetching your tea and crumpets, but I put it on in the morning. I brush my teeth.

Sometimes I smoke cigarettes, maybe you do too. If you don’t, realize that you are probably the reason I smoke cigarettes and my teeth aren’t as clean as you would prefer I’ll skip the section he wrote about products and wines because I know too little about those matters.

The”Little things count”: CLEAN silverware, wine glasses, tabletop, napkins (how does one clean napkins?), oh wait, he’s referring to “them thar fancy CLOTH napkins”, etc., etc.

I thought the little things were, for example, your child kissing you on the cheek, your father laughing at your joke, or your wife telling you that you’re

starting to get more grey hairs in your nose.

But we aren’t talking about proper “serving” etiquette; we’re talking about human interaction, which is a totally different issue than being “served”.

I feel I no longer have time to give attention to this matter. My manager is busy checking on the table next to you, (and the other 13 tables).

The chef is busy preparing food for the other guests who may, or may not, feel the same way as you. (Sorry he can’t help you either).

I understand Mr. Moraco was trying to make helpful suggestions for improvement. This is a good thing.

I only have two suggestions that might make his next meal in a restaurant a little less stressful and little bit more on the light side, and possibly aid with digestion.

1. Go see the movie Waiting. This will truly make you appreciate the fine service you do get.

2. The second suggestion doesn’t even cost anything. Merely think about where that very expensive food that was brought to you by semi-stellar service ends up.

Ms. Rosa Parks and the nobility of simple refusal

Civil rights pioneer’s life can teach a new generation about speaking truth to power FOR BLACKS LIKE MYSELF, Rosa Parks symbolized the most simple civil rights feat: refusal.

By not leaving her seat per Southern totalitarianism, she ultimately unseated an unjust balance aided and abetted by the compliance of her peers.

Speeches aside, rallies aside, marches aside -- exercising one’s right of refusal of unjust laws or policies sets the stage for reform.

By not moving she indicted not only a grossly unjust social order, she added as co-conspirators those AfricanAmericans who accepted Jim Crow without question or resistance.

Refusal, civil disobedience -- these are the tools of souls who no longer allow a bigoted external assessment to diminish the reach or quality of their lives.

• Police responded to a domestic dispute on Lincoln Street and found two women who said they had been attacked by the suspect. One woman said the man came towards her and so she pushed him. He then struck her in the face and kicked her in the knee. At that point, the second woman tried to intervene, and the man struck her in the mouth, knocking some of her teeth loose. The man, who smelled strongly of alcohol, said he was attempting to kick the victims out of their room when they called police and made up the story about him striking them. The second victim did have visible injuries to her teeth and the man was arrested.

• A woman told police that someone vandalized her son’s grave. The woman said a porcelain portrait of her son was removed from the headstone.

From the Police Blotter

Adam Taylor, a quite-proper executive at Strathclyde University in Glasgow, Scotland, was charged with illegally (and apparently motivelessly) firing several shots from an air rifle in a city park, but swears that he has no recollection of the incident and is totally baffled by the apparently accurate witness-reports of his guilt. Said his lawyer in September, “There is absolutely no reason on Earth why a 38-year-old man with his background would suddenly take an air rifle and fire it in the park ...”

(2) Tyrone D. McMillian, 33, who was arrested after a high-speed chase through three New York towns in August, told the arresting officers: “I’ve been playing a lot of Grand Theft Auto and NASCAR on PlayStation.

(1) Paris Satine, 46, the madame of a legal brothel in Maroochydore, Australia (north of Brisbane), who was a nominee at an awards banquet for Excellence in Business (which was being held at a local hotel), was arrested for soliciting clients during the event. (2) London’s Sunday Telegraph reported in July that, because of the shortage of military supplies caused by troops deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq, British Army soldiers on training exercises were ordered simply to shout “bang bang” rather than fire practice rounds.

The Poor Dears In August, convicted child murderer Mark Allen Harris was awarded $50,000 by a jury in his lawsuit against Kanawha County, W.Va., jail officials after he fell out of the back of a van transporting prisoners, breaking bones in his face and knocking out some teeth. Also in August, in Albuquerque, N.M., a filthy and disheveled John Hyde, 48, being arraigned in the murders of four people, including two policemen, complained to the judge about police behavior, “Your honor ... I have been put in a red jump suit like Elvis Presley ... My hair looks ridiculous ... I was not allowed to groom myself.”

In July, police in Lawrence, Kan., gave Ezekiel Rubottom’s foot back to him, convinced that, contrary to a neighbor’s inquiry, it wasn’t evidence of a crime.

Rubottom, 21, had tried to explain that he’d had his clubbed left foot amputated and merely wanted to keep it as a memento in a bucket of formaldehyde on his front porch.

Least Competent Criminals In September, Anthony R. Martin, 52, of Belleville, Ill., became the latest person to call the police and complain that someone had stolen his illegal drugs.

Martin told the investigating officer that a hostile neighbor had taken his marijuana plants, but when he showed the officer the room where he usually kept them, the plants were still there. Martin then said whoever took them must have returned them.

And in February, convicted double-murderer Russell Wayne Wagner was found dead in his cell in Jessup, Md., of an apparent heroin overdose, but in July, at the request of a sister, he received an official military burial at Arlington National Cemetery because he had been honorably discharged after his Army service in Vietnam.

Cliches Come to Life In a September rape trial in New York City, witness Roberto Suarez testified that he saw two men in the room with a waitress just before she told him that she had been raped, and then when asked by the prosecutor to identify the two men, Suarez looked past the defendants and pointed to, respectively, Juror No. 8 and Alternate Juror No. 3. The New York Daily News reported that some jurors laughed so hard that they cried.

Student Sarah Sevick filed a formal complaint in September with the U.S. Department of Justice, accusing Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio, Texas, of violating the Americans With Disabilities Act by not letting her keep her “assistance animal,” which is Lilly, her ferret. Sevick says that she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, including panic attacks, and that Lilly “soothes” her, but the school said it was concerned with other students’ safety.

Sniffer Wasps Researchers from the University of Georgia and U.S. Department of Agriculture say they have trained wasps to detect chemical odors — a development that may one day be used to find hidden explosives, illegal drugs, plant diseases and buried bodies. The trained wasps are kept in a small device called a “Wasp Hound,” which is capable of sounding an alarm or triggering a flashing light when the insects respond to a target odor. The method is said to be cheaper than the use of trained dogs and more sensitive than some sophisticated chemical detection methods. The researchers say a wasp can be trained in as little as five minutes. ◗

Ed Snodderly plays an ALL-AGES show at The Sentient Bean Saturday at 8 pm.

11.02.05

Since then, The Brother Boys have disbanded – although in a welcome development, they’ll soon play their second series of reunion gigs in as many years at their old stomping ground the Down Home – and Ed has gone on to craft a few solo albums of simple, heartfelt tunes, many of which would be smash hits if the world were a much different place. He had a featured role in the Coen Brothers film O Brother, Where Art Thou (which helped jumpstart the resurgence of Old-Time American music), and saw one of his original verses etched in the Country Music Hall of Fame’s Hall of Honor – the last thing one sees as one leaves the museum.

He’s got a new CD out now called Brier Visions, and – wonder of wonders – the cat who’s played with everyone from Norman Blake to Byron Berline to Tony Arata, and hardly tours anymore is coming to town for a one-off gig.

So how did Snodderly wind up “getting his feet wet” in Savannah?

“My friend Malcolm Holcombe told me he really liked doing shows there, so I figured I’d try it once and see how it goes. I’m coming down just for this, and

then driving back to Tennessee,” he laughs.

“That’s how I work these days. I go where other musicians have a good time, and hope for the best. I don’t kill myself anymore livin’ on the road.”

The singer, who divides his time between music and acting, recently nabbed the role of a fiddleplaying Clinch Mountain Boy in a musical drama based on the life of The Stanley Brothers. In Savannah, he’ll play his own tunes on guitar, dobro and banjo.

“I’ll do everything off the new record,” he says. “I’ll also do some old Brother Boys stuff and a few unrecorded songs.”

However, regardless of which nooks and crannies of his back catalog he delves into, it’s highly likely at least some folks in the crowd will walk away as thrilled and mesmerized as I was all those years ago – knowing that they’ve caught up momentarily with a rare breed.

“I see myself as doing what the Carter Family was doing back in the 1930s,” Ed offers. “I’m trying to put my own special touch on this form.”

He’s still proud to call himself a hillbilly.

“The roots of this music are lifesaving. Sure, there are some negative stereotypes to it, but it’s based in a good philosophy.”

“I have a 14-year-old niece, and she’s under a lot of peer pressure, but she likes this music. Most people don’t know there’s a whole other world of beautiful sounds out there. They just know what they’re fed. But they can have this, too.” ◗

WAY BACK IN THE latter half of the last century, I spent quite a bit of my free time at a small, rustic listening room high in the Appalachian Mountains.

It was the kind of place where they served vegetarian-friendly food, but they stopped serving it before the live music began. The kind of place where they didn’t allow smoking while the bands played (long before this was fashionable). It was also the kind of place where young people could get in easily enough, and sit right alongside adults while everyone shut the hell up and listened to some serious music.

That place was called the Down Home, and it’s still there to this day. In fact, folks will soon celebrate the 30th anniversary of the existence of this little cubbyhole of culture (it holds probably 175 people tops). It’s where I saw the late Willie Dixon, Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, John Hammond, Jr., and The Red Clay Ramblers – not to mention such inimitable talents as Webb Wilder & The Beatnecks and Brian & The Nightmares.

It’s also where I saw a laid back acoustic outfit called The Brother Boys, and I gotta say – those are some of the happiest memories of my youth.

Along with Eugene Wolf, Ed Snodderly fronted The Brother Boys.

Hell, he was a part owner of the club – which made it a no-brainer for them to play there as often as they did – and together with a few other cats, those two dreamed up their own little brand of OldTime music with a slightly modern edge.

They called it “New Hillbilly,” an acousticdriven sound that centered around traditional mountain instruments like guitars, dulcimers, mandolins and fiddles – but one not so exclusive that it can’t take a little snare drum every now and again.

It’s a joyous type of country-tinged folk that finds the common ground between The Everly Brothers and Bill Monroe and celebrates the nexus where Patsy Cline meets The Louvins for a cold beer.

Not long after I moved here from Tennessee, The Brother Boys signed with Sugar Hill Records, and put out some tremendous albums that earned them a lot of praise, but Ed had been recording music long before that. Way back in 1977, he had a solo LP out on Philo called Sidewalk Shoes, and even if not too many people were paying close attention, this songwriter with the sweet, sweet voice and a way with stringed instruments was already one to watch.

Nothin' Fancy Since late 1994, this Virginia-based bluegrass act has released a half-dozen full-length albums, played the Ryman Theatre in Nashville, Lincoln Center in New York City, and the famed Birchmere in Alexandria, Va. The members range in age from fairly young to quite seasoned, and together the sound they make is both rooted in the past, while pressing on into the future of this increasingly malleable genre. They’ve been called “the Dave Matthews Band of the bluegrass world,” and while I’m not sure what that means, I’m certain it’s meant as a compliment.

Cosmic Charlie This Athens-based tribute act to the glory days of Jerry Garcia and Company boasts two drummers, and a devotion breathing new life into these Cosmic Charlie old songs, rather than slavishly trying to recreate past arrangements or improvisational quirks culled from the thousands of unofficial live recordings of this legendary band that still make the rounds.

Diehard fans of the Dead will appreciate the fact that this group is unearthing some old gems, and trying to put their own stamp on the group’s musical blueprints. Casual listeners will just get a thrill out of hearing this material performed live in a small venue with both skill and goodwill.

Fri., 10 pm, Locos Deli & Pub.

Immortal Lee County Killers This crazy good trio of guitar, drums and keyboards formed from the ashes of Alabama’s sensational Estrus label noisemakers The Quadrajets, and works hard to deconstruct gutbucket American blues until it screams for mercy.

While some may find their frenzied, caterwauling racket to be derivative of more well-known purveyors of the form as Jon Spencer and Jack White, it’s worth noting that these guys get a hell of a lot more waydown than either of those fashion models. This is far-beyond-raw emotion channeled through relentless slide guitar mantras. With opening acts The Love Drunks and Nashville’s The ExLovers. Sat., 10 pm, The Jinx.

Project/Object Zappa Tribute The last time this celebrated touring love letter to the enduring musical and sociopolitical legacy of the late Frank Zappa passed through Savannah, they played for a relatively small crowd of the faithful at a now-defunct club on the Southside. I’d be lying if I said it was a great gig. While it’s a nice treat to hear the late composer’s work played with no small amount of reverence by diehard acolytes with plenty of their own chops, the truth is that Frank’s famous ban on sidemen imbibing should be grandfathered in to include these guys.

Longtime Zappa vocalist and guitar foil Ike Willis (Thing-Fish) was on hand to help call the shots with founding member and lead guitarist André Cholmondeley. Once more, they’ve got the unbelievably great saxman/vocalist Napoleon Murphy Brock with them to maintain a link to FZ’s own past backing bands, and I’m sure they’ll do a passable job of tackling the maestro’s rat-mazes.

Sat., JJ Cagney’s.

Animal Welfare Benefit w/Circle Takes The Square This “screamy dark hardcore” band is one of the shining lights on our local scene, even though they rarely play hometown shows. Their idiosyncratic approach to dual (duel) male/female vocals and crashing, chaotic song structure have won them legions of fans far and wide in the underground arena.

For this special ALL-AGES gig, they’ll be joined by F Is For Fire and Rifkyn, with proceeds going to help support the local organization Voice For Pets. This venue is one that over the past year or so has become increasingly popular for young punk and indie-rock bands to utilize for such DIY tours. Sun., 9 pm, Starland CCA (2424 Bull St.). ◗

It’s easy to feel the family atmosphere at Smokey Joes: All of the workers are either members of the Trutt family or long-time family friends. Children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, in-laws, aunts, uncles and cousins, all work together in perfect harmony at Smokey Joe’s.

“We have the same people working here today as we did when the restaurant first Above, the exterior of Smokey Joe’s; at left, opened,” says Trutt. their specialty “Not a lot of restaurants can say that.”

Family love and unity seems to be a common Trutt trait. Marie and George Trutt have been married happily for the past 42 years. They have shared restaurant experience, as well, having worked together before starting their own. It wasn’t their first business, though. The two have been in the shrimping business for years.

The boat they built in their own front yard eight years ago is actually the namesake for their restaurant. “The boat has a Caterpillar engine, and they tend to smoke a lot,” explains Trutt. “I pointed out to my husband how smoky it was, and that’s how it got its name. The Joe part just sounded good.”

Their boat is the reason why, in addition to their menu staples like chopped pork and beef, pork ribs, chicken and sausage (all seasoned with their own personal blend of herbs and spices and smoked over pecan and hickory), and side-dishes like their homemade baked beans, potato and macaroni salads and fried corn nuggets (a dollop of sweet creamed corn, battered and fried golden brown – not homemade, but a definite must-try), they also offer seafood specials including fresh scallops, fish and (of course) shrimp. You can’t get much fresher.

Next time you’re passing through Darien, drop on by. The Trutts will be glad to have you, and you’ll be in good company. ◗

CHANCES ARE most of us wouldn’t make a special trip to a restaurant that was 50 miles away, even if the food was scrumptious. On the other hand, if you just happened to be passing through -or maybe doing some shopping at the outlet stores that just happen to be right around the corner -- you might just need a place to eat. Right?

That’s exactly what happened to me last Sunday. I am coming back from a trip to Florida, and I am ravenous. After I make it clear to my husband that waiting until we get home is not an option, he takes the next closest exit in search of sustenance: Exit 49, Darien, Georgia.

A little place catches our eye: Smokey Joe’s BBQ. The log-cabin style restaurant screamed ‘mom & pop’, and I’ll take that over a chain restaurant any day.

When you enter, you notice the rustic décor, the simple tables and the beautiful hardwood floors and pine-paneled walls. Overhead, wooden beams (all made from the same pine tree, I am later told) add to the cabin feel.

One thing I notice while ‘taking it all in’ are the many autographs and pictures dotting one of the walls. Along with a slew of autographs from various autoracers, I spot a sheet of paper with the words ‘Whitney and Bobby’, right next to an autographed photo of James Brown.

Could it be… the Whitney and Bobby?

“Yes, that was from Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown,” Marie Trutt, coowner of Smokey Joe’s, says with a laugh. “Bobby was the one who came in and placed the order. Whitney stayed on their bus.”

The paper was taken to her, and hence the autograph. James Brown didn’t actually come into the restaurant either, but 19 of his band members did.

“What was that like?” I ask Trutt.

The Trutts have a simple motto to match their food: Treat every customer like family, and make them feel at home.

“We want our customers to feel like they’re at a family-reunion style picnic,” says Trutt. “That’s one of the reasons we serve up the meals the way we do.”

For more info on the church’s Compline observance, go to Christchurchsavannah.org/Compline.htm .

“Compline” comes from the Latin completorium, or complement, and is offered when the work of the day is completed. It invokes a sense of protection and peace for the night that is to come and thanks for safe passage through the day that has past.

Fear of the night and concern for mortality are integral parts of the texts: “your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”

Compline consists of psalms, short passages from scripture (chapters), an office hymn, a canticle (Nunc Dimittis), a litany, collects, and additional prayers.

At first, Compline was offered primarily by the monastic communities, but as Christian influence spread throughout Europe and the Mediterranean area, the office found a place in local liturgical settings. ◗

Compline is observed each Sunday evening at 9 p.m. at Christ Church at 28 Bull Street, on Johnson Square downtown.

About Compline

thousand plus on many nights,” he remembers. “It’s amazing to see punkers, goths, grannies and grand-dads, and preppies all come into a house of worship and experience God together in this way.”

While each Sunday’s Compline program at Christ Church is different, there tend to be some compositions which carry over from week to week.

Occasionally, Williams even contributes compositions of his own.

While Christ Church’s Compline is non-denominational in theory and in practice, don’t assume this is a new-age, one-size-fits-all spiritual experience.

Compline is, after all, a Christian tradition, and Christ Church’s service does not attempt to hide that fact.

The full Nicene Creed, a staple of Episcopal services all over the world, is sung; and Rev. Robertson delivers a brief homily towards the end of the service. After Compline, prayer leaders are available at the altar rail following the service for those who desire individual prayer.

Still, Williams says one of the beauties of Compline is that it does not seem to exacerbate any current religious or political controversy.

“So much of this goes back to the Middle Ages, to monastic singing,” he says. “It evokes a different time and place. We think because of the setting and the atmosphere, people will just come by and say, ‘There’s something special going on in there. I want to go in and be a part of it.’” ◗

by Matt Brunson as well as a loopy star vehicle that pissed off the masses (the Pitt-Roberts yarn The Mexican) has now tackled an affecting tale about a man who has trouble seeing the big picture because all of life’s little asides keep obstructing his view.

THE WEATHER MAN

✰✰✰

Nicolas Cage, who throughout the past decade has been more grating than ingratiating, here delivers one of his better performances in a movie that mines much of the same emotional Stating that Doom is probably the best terrain as About Schmidt.

Maybe so, but at least nobody can accuse ascension. One of this of being hastily put together to cash in on the success of the first film. Set approxithe final candidates mately nine years after the conclusion of Mask, this finds Don Alejandro de la Vega for the weatherman (returning star Antonio Banderas) having trouble shedding his day job as Zorro in order position on the to spend more time with his lovely wife Elena (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and rambunctious nationally televised young son Joaquin (Adrian Alonso).

DOOM ✰✰

bating vicious creatures at a manned outpost in outer space. Led by the gruff Sarge (The Rock), the outfit consists of the usual stock characters: reluctant hero, nervous novice, perpetual whiner, wisecracking black guy, monolithic black guy, and so on. And, of course, there’s a pretty lady scientist (Rosamund Pike) to mollify red-meat moviegoers by functioning as eye candy to go along with the expected quota of guns ‘n’ gore.

NORTH COUNTRY ✰✰1/2

North Country is loosely based on a true story, and it’d be interesting if transcripts from the actual trials surrounding this tale were made available at the film’s screenings.

That way, we could see for ourselves if the courtroom shenanigans were really as difficult to swallow as the ones that conclude this film. Inspired by this nation’s first successful sexual harassment lawsuit, the movie stars Charlize Theron as a single mom who returns to her Minnesota hometown and lands a job in the local mines. One of only a handful of women who work there, she

33 has to contend with the incessant torment perpetrated by the yahoos who work alongside her, good ol’ boys who don’t believe that girls have any business laboring in the mines. Tired of their lewd taunts and cruel pranks, she decides to take the company to court, a decision that alienates her from practically everyone, including the women who abhor their own treatment but refuse to cause waves. North Country is directed

by New Zealand’s Niki Caro, and her primary asset is Charlize Theron, who again demonstrates (as if there was any doubt after Monster) that she’s a master thespian residing within a model’s body.

DOMINO ✰

ELIZABETHTOWN ✰✰

With Elizabethtown, director Cameron Crowe seeks to honor the memory of his father, who died of a heart attack in 1989.

It’s a noble endeavor but a disappointing movie, as engaging individual scenes fail to disguise either the slackness or superficiality of the piece. Orlando Bloom,

IN HER SHOES ✰✰✰

Schmaltz-loving women will grab their tissues while Neanderthal males will roll their eyes. But In Her Shoes isn’t designed for any of these people; instead, it will attract viewers who have little use for rigid societal labels and who anticipate a well-crafted blend of comedy and pathos. The picture stars Cameron Diaz and Toni Collette as Maggie and Rose, two sisters who have nothing in common except their shoe size. In this case, the ties that bind have been shredded down to a mere string, one which snaps when Maggie cruelly betrays Rose in an act of astonishing thoughtlessness. Banished by her older sister, Maggie heads to Florida to meet Ella Hirsch (Shirley MacLaine), the grandmother she only recently learned she had.

A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE ✰✰✰1/2

In the same manner that David Lynch deconstructed the myth of the squeakyclean small Southern town in Blue Velvet, so does director David Cronenberg take a hatchet to the façade of bland Midwestern homeliness. The movie establishes the proper tone from the start, as two men check out of their motel in the grisliest way imaginable. From here, we jump to the home of Tom Stall (Viggo Mortensen), a hard-working café owner blessed with a devoted wife named Edie (Maria Bello) and two children. Tom’s peaceful existence disappears the night that a pair of murderous strangers bust into his diner. Tom kills the intruders, which in turn leads to his national status as a hero. This widespread exposure brings more strangers to town -- gruff mobster Carl Fogarty (Ed Harris) and his two flunkies. Viggo Mortensen, formerly a

wretched actor who has matured in leaps and bounds these last few years, was a wise choice -- it’s impossible to read anything on his passive face, thus making it hard to gauge whether or not he’s telling the truth about his past.

WAITING ✰

Writer-director Rob McKittrick obviously views his pet project as the new Clerks, but whereas that Kevin Smith gem featured genuine wit beneath the rampant vulgarity, Waiting is merely puerile, crammed with incessant employment of the “F” word (fag, that is) and featuring more unkempt pubic hair than any picture this side of a 50s-era stag film. Ryan Reynolds plays the veteran employee at an eatery in the Applebee’s/Bennigan’s mold. He’s assigned to show the new kid (John Francis Daley) the ropes, and the story kicks into high gear once he explains to the rookie that every male employee must trick the other guys into looking at his exposed genitalia.

WALLACE & GROMIT: THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT ***1/2 Not only the best animated flick of the year but also one of the most enjoyable outings in any genre. In this yarn, Wallace and his silent sidekick have taken it upon themselves to rid their burg’s rabbits by forming a pest control outfit called AntiPesto. Using Wallace’s latest invention, the Bun-Vac 6000, the team is able to humanely capture all the bunnies that have been helping themselves to the neighbors’ garden patches.

TIM BURTON’S CORPSE BRIDE

✰✰✰

Based on a Russian folk tale yet set in Victorian England, Corpse Bride finds Johnny Depp as the voice of Victor Van Dort, a shy lad who’s set to marry a shy lass named Victoria Everglot (Emily Watson). While practicing his vows he places the ring on a branch, only to watch in horror as the branch reveals itself to be the finger of a corpse that rises from the ground. This is Emily (Helena Bonham Carter), who died on her wedding night and who’s been waiting ever since for her true love. Corpse Bride is a marvel of craft and imagination, yet what’s most surprising is its ability to make us care about Bonham Carter’s character.

FLIGHTPLAN ✰✰

Kyle Pratt (Jodie Foster), a recent widow catching a flight along with her six-yearold daughter, becomes frantic once the girl disappears during the course of the flight. The entire premise rests on the fact that no one else aboard the plane, from the crew to the passengers, ever once caught a glimpse of the moppet, thereby establishing in their minds Kyle as a woman who’s delusional and possibly dangerous. Director Robert Schwentke exhibits aptitude in his ability to stage confrontations between Kyle and her doubters, while the recreation of a jumbo airliner provides the film with a setting that feels as expansive and full of mystery as Baskerville Hall. ◗

www.connectsavannah.com

Taking a well-worn formula and adding some flavor through the rich characterizations of its leading players, Dreamer centers on the circumstances that transpire when horse trainer Ben Crane (Kurt Russell) and his young daughter Cale (Dakota Fanning) elect to nurse an injured race horse named Sonador (Spanish for Dreamer) back to health. Planning to use the mare for breeding purposes until learning she’s infertile, the financially strapped Ben, with constant prodding by his daughter as well as his own crusty dad (Kris Kristofferson), decides to take a chance on prepping her for competition contention. Many child stars are either sloppily sentimental or coldly calculating, and while Fanning has occasionally veered toward the latter, she delivers her warmest performance in this picture.

Ever since winning that Oscar for Scent of a Woman (still the worst con job ever to snag a Best Actor statue), Al Pacino has elected to “Hoo-ah!” his way through almost every subsequent role. Pacino’s back in full manic mode in Two for the Money, a malnourished morality tale not dissimilar in structure to the other Pacino vehicles in which he serves as a shady mentor to a hot young actor. Here, he plays Walter Abrams, the head of a sports consulting firm who finds his protege in Brandon Lang (Matthew McConaughey), a former college football star permanently sidelined by a leg injury.

TWO FOR THE MONEY ✰1/2

What’s playing where

Connect Savannah

Armed with the cinematic excesses that made his last picture, Man On Fire, nearunwatchable, director Tony Scott this time tackles the based-on-fact saga of Domino Harvey. By all appearances, Domino led a fascinating life: The daughter of English actor Laurence Harvey (The Manchurian Candidate), this tomboy quickly gave up the lifestyle of the rich and famous to forge her own path as a bounty hunter.

Armed with a script inexplicably penned

by Richard Kelly (the writer-director of the excellent cult flick Donnie Darko), Scott chooses to ignore many of the smaller details of Domino’s hard-scrabble existence to fashion an oft-times impenetrable action flick about a trio of bounty hunters involved in a scam. As the title character, Keira Knightley is required only to snarl on cue, while Mickey Rourke and Edgar Ramirez are equally lifeless as her fellow bounty hunters.

nothing special but getting the job done, stars as Drew Baylor, a failed shoe designer who temporarily shelves his own demons in order to attend the funeral of his dad back in the title Kentucky town.

Along the way, he meets a chatty flight attendant (Kirsten Dunst) who stirs him out of his stupor.

MORE MONEY? MORE TIME! When you’re ready to sell your home, how will you select a real estate professional? I’ve already recommended in a previous column that you should call around, asking questions and answering some questions, too. Your greatest concern may be your bottom line, but to sell in a reasonable amount of time, you need to sell at a reasonable price.

Avoid the temptation to list with an agent simply because he or she tells you that they can sell your home for more money. Only with a complete Comparative Market Analysis in hand can you be sure that the agent has thoroughly researched the values of homes that have recently listed, sold and/or expired.

With that knowledge, you can confidently price your home according to what you know the market will bear, and in a range that buyers will find competitive. Of course, you can put any price tag you want on your home, but don’t you want to sell more quickly at a fair price rather than overprice and wait while your listing languishes on the market?

You could choose to list with an agent who tells you that you can get more money, but you might be waiting a very long time to sell at that price. Be upfront about your timetable for selling, and then ask for a CMA to price your home accordingly.
