There must be

something in the water Is radioactivity from SRS threatening

the long-term health of the Savannah River?

Every morning an employee of the City of Savannah drives 75 miles upriver to a bridge on Highway 301 outside Sylvania, to catch a water sample of the Savannah River. The sample is brought back to the Savannah Water Treatment & Supply Plant where it is tested for elevated levels of radioactivity.

Why do this? “That’s our early warning system,” says Willy Weil, an administrator at the water plant.

Weil says their testing system would give Savannah about 90 hours to act before the contaminated water flows into the lower river basin where the city draws 35 million gallons a day to supply drinking water to Pooler, Port Wentworth and Effingham County.

Why test for radioactivity? Savannah is 130 miles downstream of the Savannah River Site (SRS), a Department of Energy nuclear facility that manufactured almost half of the nuclear weapons built during the Cold War. A study by the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (IEER), a nuclear think tank, reports, “The Savannah River Site contains the largest amount of radioactivity in waste of any nuclear weapons site in the United States.”

SRS records show leaks of radioactive material into the river beginning in 1960 when environmental monitoring first began. Radioactive leaks and intentional releases continue to this day.

Downstream, at Savannah’s water treatment plant, raw river water is a yellowbrown before it is filtered and treated with chlorine. The “finished” water is as clear as a bottle of Evian.

But looks can be deceiving. This crystal-clear water contains the same amount of radioactive material as the raw river water. Conventional treatment plants like Savannah’s simply can’t remediate radiation from the water.

The most ubiquitous radioactive material in the river is called tritium, a low level radionuclide used as a yield booster in all U.S. nuclear warheads. Now it’s in the drinking water for 150,000 people in Georgia and South Carolina.

This past year, smaller tritium leaks in other parts of the country has invoked outrage, fear and a second look at what constitutes a safe standard of radioactivity in drinking water.

The director of the Water Treatment and Supply Plant, John Sawyer, says that under the new Coastal Water Plan, “Nobody is getting any additional groundwater” from the Floridan Aquifer, currently supplying water to the city of Savannah and Chatham County. But as the region grows, additional water will have to come from somewhere -- and that somewhere will be the Savannah River.

Do I drink the water?

Dr. Richard Lee, professor and radiation safety officer at the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography says that there is absolutely no problem drinking tritium-laced water.

“Of all the radioactive material, it is the least harmful,” he says.

But he goes on to say that if you look into the history of how allowable levels of radioactive compounds in drinking water were set, “you’ll find that they were pretty arbitrary.”

States like California are reexamining the EPA limit of allowable tritium in drinking water, which currently is 20,000 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) of water. California set a public health goal of no more than 500 pCi/L (curies are a measure of radioactivity) of tritium in drinking water -- a level the state says can still cause one cancer per million of people exposed.

Environmental injustice-eating Savannah River fish

Photo of “Raw” and “Finished” beakers of water at the Savannah Water Treatment and Supply Plant laboratory.

Radioactive materials accumulate in the bodies of the river’s fish at a rate of 3,000 times of what is measured in the water. That means that the river’s subsistence fisherman, largely African Americans, are consuming up to four times more fish than the maximum set by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.

The radionuclides cesium and strontium-90 have been measured in Savannah River fish for decades, yet the African American community is largely uninformed of the risks. “We know that people are eating more fish than what is safe—people of color in particular,” said Rev. Charles Utley, the campaign director for Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League in Augusta. “People whose diets depend on river fish caught downstream of SRS need to be told about the risks of fish consumption. And DOE needs to act to reduce the pollution of the river.”

Word to the military wives

Editor, I was interested in your interview with Sgt. Kevin Benderman, who says he is a conscientious objector to the war in Iraq, but who has been denied that status by the military (“Objector,” by Jim Morekis, Sept. 27).

It should be obvious that a person who no longer believes in what he is doing would not be the right person to continue in any career. It is interesting that an administration that places so much emphasis on morality and the religious beliefs of the president would deny that right to others.

What ever happened to free will, which is supposed to come from God? Sixteen government security agencies, in a recently declassified report, have said that the war in Iraq has caused the threat of Islamic extremists to spread, both in numbers and in geography, and breeds a resentment that will only get worse before it gets better.

The President has replied that his critics are naive and mistaken.

However, I am puzzled by your description of brave Monica Benderman as “far from the usual image of a docile, sheltered and long-suffering military wife, she exhibits a quick, articulate wit and shows a deep understanding not only of her husband but of the world at large and how it works.” HUH? Most military wives would not speak out publicly against the government unless their husbands chose to do so. Like them, they would stoically say, “Well, this is what I signed up for; the bad stuff goes with the territory.”

Thus, their public attitude comes not from a lack of understanding of the circumstances, but of loyalty to their husbands.

It is scarcely “sheltered” to live with the knowledge that every time one sees their husband leave may be the last. It takes a va-

The image of which you speak comes from bad novels of the 1930s, of bored wives sitting around a bridge table, and leaving monogrammed calling cards on a silver platter at required social calls.

But civilian wives were also more sheltered at that time.

Now, many military wives are also trying to juggle their own work schedules as well, either to keep current in their chosen careers, or out of necessity.

Still others are also in the military. They certainly do not lack a “quick, articulate wit” in private; some days it is the only thing that keeps them going.

Time to start over

The more things change in Savannah, the more they seem to stay the same. Had enough yet?

For people choosing a place to live -or even making the decision to remain in Savannah -- the area’s racial harmony or evolution would not be among the top three things on the list. Yes, thanks to the late W.W. Law and others, Savannah escaped the damaging race riots of the ‘60s. There were no grandiose marches or burnings. There was no destruction of property.

But except for some federally induced changes in school integration and more legal restrictions against redlining in property sales, attitudes toward -- and by -- people of the darker persuasion seem to have changed little since the ‘50s.

It’s true that there are more opportunities for middle class African Americans in larger cities such as Atlanta and others, so why would children of black middle class families -- or white, for that matter -- remain in Savannah? But it’s also true -- and this is the sad and rarely mentioned part -- that very few people, black or white, in supervisory positions at places such as City Hall or the historically black college, Savannah State University, bother to buck the tide of old colonial racist attitudes.

They treat the people they are supervising the same way -- or worse -- that they were treated 30 years ago. It’s almost as if they think, “If I had to endure this, they do, too.” They expect and/or ask for very little.

And guess what? They -- and the rest of the city -- get very little back.

Every time I stay away from Savannah and then return I am struck by two things: the realities, which are dire, and the possibilities, which are endless. While people who live in larger cities have the room to stratify and the luxury, if you can call it that, to “stick with their own kind,” most people in Savannah have to mix and match.

It doesn’t take long for the pharmacist to remember your name. You can get a letter-to-the-editor published. You can drive somewhere without too many entry ramps or exit mistakes. You can go to an art opening and not be crushed by the crowd.

While it’s hard for people in large cities to make a dent or to make their voice heard, it’s just the opposite in a place like Savannah.

IF people care enough to speak up. IF people can embrace new ideas. IF people can let go of a little power.

Would that we could line everyone up, like we did in gym class in elementary school, count off by numbers -- one, two, three, four -- and form new teams or new communities. Then we would have to throw away all the old barriers, the assumptions, the prejudices and start again.

Now that would make a great reality show. w

People can rave all they want about Savannah’s live oak trees, downtown squares, 19thcentury housing stock, dramatic tides, pleasant winter weather conditions and number of festivals, including the outstanding March music festival.

And a lot of people do rave about those things. That’s why we’re riding a wave now.

There’s great flux and great mix and great interest.

But the end, it will be the people, not the beauty, who will take Savannah to the next level, the next tier.

But do the old-timers, the Chamber of Commerce types, the sixth-generation families see this? Will they allow the new entrepreneurs, the artists, the people who think out of the box, the outsiders into the game?

Will it happen before people get discouraged and leave?

And what, pray tell, do they say to possible newbies about Savannah’s three big problems -- its school system, its crime, its racial disconnect? I’d love to be a fly on the wall or in their brains when and if they address those issues.

I pity the families who move here with children accustomed to other educational systems. And yet -- and here’s the irony -- one can’t help but notice the lineup of people wanting a shot at the school board presidency. Can you believe this year’s collection? Former mayors, retiring education specialists, oil executives. They all want the job. What is that about?

Only one will win, but where will the other candidates be after the election? Just once I’d like to see their self-proclaimed interest in schools and children sustained beyond the campaign. Just once I’d like to see the losing candidates take their enthusiasm, their ideas, their desire to contribute to a school board meeting when this year’s election is history.

And what is there left to say about the city’s crime? The news is all crime all the time. But it’s not like they’re making any of it up, either. Five homicides in a week? The really creepy part of that is knowing each one of those corners where the bullets go flying.

Yes, it’s a small city. But coordinates like that lodge in one’s mind. It’s one thing to take visitors to see the not-so-famous sights -- the location of Forrest Gump’s bench, a hidden and early Jewish cemetery, scenes from “The Book,” Bradley Lock and Key, the quirkiest store in America.

But it’s quite another to pass the pay phone where a college art student was gunned down, the square where an 18-yearold was killed, the carwash where the recent calamitous and egregious police chase started.

news|Blotter Police responded to a call at a local hotel in reference to a theft committed by an employee who was in custody. An officer spoke with the hotel manager, who said a hotel guest walked into her room to find a hotel employee with her purse in his hand. The guest asked the man for his name, and he gave it to her. When the officer spoke to the guest, she said she and her fiance had gone downstairs to check on some packages and she came back upstairs to the room because she had forgotten something.

She said she opened the door and the employee immediately put the purse down on the TV stand.

Some receipts fell out of the purse and onto the ground. She asked the man what he was doing, and he said, “Checking on things.”

She asked his name as he tried to get past her out the door, and he gave her his first name. She confirmed this by seeing his name tag on his shirt and followed him out of the room and down the hall to the balcony area, where she told him to wait as she called for help.

The suspect continued on to the other side of the hall, past the elevators and around the corner, out of sight. The woman told other employees in the lobby area what had happened. When the woman went back and checked her purse, she was missing $150 from a bank envelope, five $20 bills and one $50 bill. She said she had left a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door so no one would come in the room while she was gone. The officer spoke with the suspect, who identified himself. The officer asked the man if he had any cash on him, and the suspect produced a large quantity of cash, which he counted out, revealing $198.

The denominations were eight $20 bills, six $5 bills and eight $1 bills. The officer asked the suspect where he had been, and he replied that he was in the hotel cafeteria.

When asked if he had been in any rooms, the suspect replied that he hadn’t. He then said he went in rooms left open by the cleaning crew so he could get linens. The officer asked if he did or did not go into rooms, and the suspect said he did go into rooms, but not guests’ rooms. His story continually changed as to whether or not he went into rooms and if he did, which rooms he went into. The suspect was placed under arrest. The $198 found on him was logged into evidence.

• A man was digging for the main power line at Dean Forest Road and Southbridge to connect on to. He said he was digging beyond the markings which were there to indicate where the power line would be located. During one of the up motions of the bucket, the power line was broken and the man decided it would be safer if he jumped from the equipment. During the jump down, he injured his knee and was trans-

ported to a local hospital. An electric company representative was given a case report number card.

• Police were called to an East Park Avenue address in reference to a disorderly person. On arrival, the officer met with a woman who said her boyfriend had pushed her down in the front yard. She was wearing clean white shorts and white socks with no signs of dirt from being pushed to the ground as she described. The woman showed the officer dirt on her hands that she said came from being pushed to the ground. She said her boyfriend went to his grandmother’s house after their fight.

The officers located the boyfriend and asked him about the incident. He told them there had been a verbal argument over “Pampers for the baby,” and that his girlfriend had threatened to call the police. At that point, the boyfriend left. He told the officers, “Me and her have a history of this and the other police told me to leave whenever we started fighting.”

• A Joel Court resident told police that her boyfriend had punched her in the face.

An officer found the man walking on Titus Court in Hitch Village and interviewed him.

He said his girlfriend was talking to her baby’s father on the phone and that upset him. He said he got up and told her it was over, that he was leaving because she was no good. The man said his girlfriend started hugging him and asking him to forgive her and said she would never talk to her baby’s father again. The man said he didn’t understand why his girlfriend had called the police. She said she had asked him to forgive her, but that he was so upset he pushed her and punched her in the face. The woman said she ran out of the house to call police.

The officer noticed an open laceration above her left eyebrow, but she refused medical treatment. The man was placed under arrest and charged with battery. w

Freedom on the March

by Chuck Shepherd

At the Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court in England in July, Andrew Curzon was charged with wrongfully attempting to cash a neighbor’s pension-adjustment check, in the equivalent of about $220,000. The explanation by Curzon (who is a law student) is that he has “dyspraxia,” which renders him unable “to engage in logical thinking.”

Least Competent Criminals

(1) Bryan Sanderson was arrested minutes after allegedly committing his second bank robbery of the day in York County, Va., in September. Sanderson’s main misjudgment, according to police, was making his getaway both times in his company homeinspection van with “Sanderson Services” on the side. (2) More Anthrax Stupidity: New Yorkers Donald Ray Bilby, 30, in July, and Abdullah Date, 18, in August, were, respectively, convicted and arrested for sending anthrax threats to authorities in envelopes that each contained their correct return addresses. (Date allegedly also included a taunting note reading, “Catch me if you can.”)

Recurring Themes

Urinating continues to be a dangerous activity (even fatal, over the years, among several men who had stopped on the side of the road at night to answer nature’s call and fallen down slopes to their deaths, as News of the Weird has reported). In July, an Australian man, looking for a place to relieve himself near the Commercial Drive SkyTrain station in East Vancouver, British Columbia, fell about 100 feet into a ravine, but tree branches broke his fall, and he survived.

And Jerry Mersereau, 23, after camping in the Mount Hood National Forest in Oregon, filed a lawsuit against the federal government in August for injuries he suffered after wandering off a cliff at night while searching for a place to relieve himself.

By the Way, What Else Is No Longer Weird? (Part X)

Eighty such themes have occurred so frequently that they have been “retired from circulation” since News of the Weird began publishing in 1988, and here is a final selection from the list: Increasingly, parents are leaving their infants in hot cars while they’re out shopping or drinking. Toddlers not even big enough to see over the steering wheel grab car keys and drive off a surprising distance without doing too much damage. Prosecutors and drunk-driving counselors are increasingly, themselves, found behind the wheel, inebriated. Elderly motorists from time to time make a wrong turn and don’t think to stop and ask directions until they’re hundreds of miles from home. All used to be novel at one point, but today are No Longer Weird.

Long-Haul Waves

A violent storm churning the Gulf of Alaska last October appears to have produced large waves that broke apart a huge iceberg off Antarctica six days later, according to researchers.

Douglas MacAyeal of the University of Chicago and Emile Okal at Northwestern University wrote in the journal Geophysical Research Letters that the wave traveled 8,300 miles, eventually destroying iceberg B15A. Seismic records from instruments placed on the iceberg showed that even though it was a clear and calm day, B15A had been moving up and down and from side to side when it broke up. The researchers determined that a storm more than 8,000 miles away generated the waves responsible for the breakup. Weather records pointed to the storm off Alaska as the most likely source.

Anchovy Beaching

Millions of anchovies died along a stretch of coastline in northern Spain after an unexplained mass beaching. All of the dead fish were said to be young, and scientists believe they may have been driven into Colunga beach, about 40 miles east of the port of Gijon, by predator fish. Other possible reasons given were atypical sea currents or unusually high water temperatures.

German Twister

A tornado ripped through a small German farming town, ripping roofs off at least 20 buildings and injuring two people, one seriously.

Earthquakes

The stronger of two moderate earthquakes that rocked the island of Trinidad killed one man and caused one home to collapse. The quake was also felt widely across neighboring parts of Venezuela.

• The third moderate tremor to strike northeastern Maine in the past few weeks produced no damage on the surface but caused underground water levels to drop more than 2.5 feet. The U.S. Geological Survey warned that users of well water could notice cloudy water and a drop in the amount of available water.

The loss of habitat across Indonesia’s Sumatra Island led to attacks on communities by an endangered Sumatran tiger as well as a group of elephants, according to conservationists. The Kimpas daily reports that the mutilated body of a 30year-old man was found where he was last seen hunting for wood. An eyewitness said he later saw a tiger in the same area. Sumatran tigers have increasingly encroached on villages during the past few months as their habitat has shrunk due to illegal logging and land clearing for rubber plantations. The day following the tiger attack, a group of seven elephants raided the village of Padang Tambak, damaging a house and destroying water pipelines. The conservation group WWF-Indonesia said the conflict between homeless elephants and local people has reached crisis levels. w

Poetry

Poet and fiction writer Starkey Flythe, Jr. once took a shower with Dan Rather… sort of.

As managing editor for the Saturday Evening Post in the 1970’s, Flythe was part of the press entourage accompanying President Richard Nixon to Egypt. When the group was housed in an old army barracks in the Azores, Flythe crossed paths with the towelclad Rather in the shower room.

The encounter is memorialized in Flythe’s poem “I once took a shower with Dan Rather.” The National Endowment for the Arts Fellow will appear in Savannah on Tuesday, Oct. 17, the first of a trio of poets featured in the Fall Poetry Series sponsored by the Poetry Society of Georgia and Southern Poetry Review.

Flythe’s poetry draws from an eclectic array of his life experiences--service in the Army in Africa, working as an editor for two national magazines, and as a writer of fiction

Poetry is not dead! and poetry. Like the shower episode, many specific events become the origins for broader observations.

“Poetry gets shifted off to being a frill of the intelligentsia now,” says Flythe, “yet it’s all around us. We hear it in ad jingles and greeting cards.”

One piece, titled, “The light, driving home, dusk along alternate highway 41 after hearing a friend, much touted, give a rotten reading” becomes a timeless observation on winter, light, and “the place we are going.”

A student of the classics, Flythe encourages writers to “ground ourselves in the early poets—Shakespeare, John Dunne, Shelley, Keats—those people have never been surpassed,” he says. In studying the greats, contemporary writers can “mold ourselves into various forms. I think it helps to stretch us.

As they say, ‘it broadens the mind by narrowing it.’”

Flythe says many of his poems feature “various writers who are part of the canon of our literature. I talk a little bit about of the lives of these people. How they are a little different than what we read about in

literature.”

His poem, “From our hotel room” was published in last year’s Southern Poetry Review, the national poetry journal housed at Armstrong Atlantic State University.

“What I like about the poem is its combination of serious and sass,” says Tony Morris, managing editor for Southern Poetry Review and organizer of the Fall Poetry Series. ”There’s a sense of humor in it but also a dialectic going on between history and man and nature.”

The Fall Poetry Series is intended to galvanize Savannah’s poetry community. Editors at the journal think that both Flythe’s writing and presentation style will move that goal forward.

“He’ll bring to the reading a personal sense and personality that will be fun and entertaining and witty, and yet serious at the same time,” says Morris.

Flythe will read from his two poetry books, Paying the Anesthesiologist and They Say Dancing, as well as from a recently completed collection that he’s shopping for publication.

Brigitte Byrd, a Parisian-born poet living in the U.S. since 1988, and James Kimbrell,

a native of Jackson, Mississippi who directs the creative writing program at Florida State, will round out the fall series with separate readings in November and December.

The poetry series is the first joint project of the two longtime poetry organizations based in Savannah. The Poetry Society of Georgia has sponsored poetry prizes and literary events since its inception in the early 1900’s, yet has been faced in recent years with a dwindling active membership, according to Karl Harris, a board member and past president.

“It’s an aging society but young in spirit,” says Harris. “We’re trying to create a resurgence with this collaboration with Southern Poetry Review. Over the years the Poetry Society has occasionally had poets of some note, but a series is new for us.” w Starkey Flythe, Jr. will appear Tues., Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. in the Armstrong Center, 13040 Abercorn Extension, adjacent to the Armstrong Atlantic Campus. Free. Flythe’s poetry books will be available for sale. Call Tony Morris, Southern Poetry Review, for more information: 921-5568.

stage for musicals in this country. Those great teams like Lerner and Loewe and Rodgers and Hammerstein -- those people knew how to make a story work by adding music.

They were real craftsmen.”

In roles first made famous by Richard Burton (as Arthur), Julie Andrews (Guinevere) and Robert Goulet (Lancelot), this production of Camelot features a fairly young cast, all of whom got the job after a series of auditions in New York.

“We auditioned a couple hundred people for 21 roles,” says Hanson. “They all have varying backgrounds, with most being majors in theatre, with a lot of dance and acting training.”

Currently the cast is traveling the country by bus in a grueling schedule.

“The cast basically just gets to the hotel long enough to check in, take a shower and do soundcheck, then get some dinner before the show,” Hanson says. “Then we sleep until we leave the next morning.”

Hanson says while younger actors tend to hold up better on these types of traveling shows, “I once toured with the cast of 1776, and they had an average age of over 50. There was less sickness and more stamina on that tour than on any other I’ve been on. Sometimes those stereotypes about age aren’t always true. A cast with more experience will also have more experience in taking care of themselves.” w

Jam Theatricals presents Camelot at the Johnny Mercer Theatre in Savannah on Saturday, October 14, at 8 p.m. Tickets, which range in price from $30 to $47, can be purchased at the Johnny Mercer Theatre box office, all Civic Center outlets, online at www.savannahcivic.com, or by calling 651-6556.

The simplest answer is also the most honest: all of it.

Musical taste is one of the most subjective components of an individual’s personality, and it goes without saying that what floats one’s boat can usually be counted on to sink another’s, when you’re talking about the artists who make up this festival, you’re talking about creative talents that have reached a certain level of critical acclaim.

At that level, taste and preference aside, it’s all damn good and worthy of the public’s support.

Let’s be honest here. Even when it comes to the younger featured acts who are perceived as being on their way up (rather than perched comfortably upon a career peak), it’s a pretty easy sell. You’ll not find a single clunker in this event’s lineup.

As was the case last year, ticket prices for most major events are now —thankfully— tiered (meaning they’re staggered according to the ticket holder’s proximity to the stage).

That development, perhaps more than anything, seemed to contribute to the growth of last year’s festival. It brought attendance at some of the biggest and most desirable shows offered within reach of most anyone with a strong will to catch a particular performance. continued on page 22

Last Friday at 10 a.m., a revamped Savannah Music Festival website began online ticket sales for the March 15April 1, 2007, event.

Without getting into particulars, let’s just say the box office was boffo. As your friendly neighborhood music journalism professionals, we encourage you to secure your tickets as early as you can, while you can.

The evening prior to ticket sales going live on the internet, the Jepson Center hosted a gala unveiling of the festival’s schedule.

While word had leaked out of several of the performers of note, the grand announcement event at the Jepson did throw the assembled crowd a few curveballs. “I do have one surprise to announce tonight,� said Executive Director Rob Gibson. “The great Al Jarreau will be performing at the Festival.�

After the oohs and aahs subsided, Gibson laughed and said, “I just confirmed it thirty minutes before I got here tonight.�

The Jarreau concert will be Thursday, March 15, in the Trustees Theatre.

Introducing Gibson at the event was Hart Williford, chairman of the Festival board of directors. “One of my greatest journeys in life has been to be a part of this Festival,� Williford said. “We’ve gone from being a good organization to a great one. But there’s still a lot of

Furthermore, in addition to the ability for financially secure concertgoers to purchase a special $1,300 pass that gets them one ticket to every single show in the entire festival, those of us with average (or below average) incomes can still benefit from several different discounts. Students under 25, senior citizens over 65, and employees of corporate sponsors of the festival are all eligible for reduced rates.

Better still, anyone buying tickets to four or more events at the same time receives a 10 percent discount.

The brochure kicks off with a bang, opening with Jazz Now & Forever. This trio of theatre shows includes guitarist, vocalist and band leader John Pizzarelli with the New York All-Star Big Band, a fifteen-piece group offering standards and sultry ballads a la Sinatra or Nat King Cole. Opening act for this gig will be the Savannah Music Festival’s High School Honor Jazz band, made up of some of the city’s most promising young musicians.

Also in this series, the first-ever pairing of famed jazz vocalist Dianne Reeves and fiery blues guitarist and singer Susan Tedeschi, and —in a show that’ll likely be the first to sell out— The Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra under the direction of the Grammy-winning trumpeter Wynton Marsalis.

Now, it’s all well and good to see live jazz in a 1,000-seat-plus theatre setting, but some of the finest jazz moments in past Music Fests have taken place in the intimate, cabaret-style confines of SCAD’s approximately 300-seat Orleans Hall. The Savannah Jazz Party consists of three nights of up-close and personal shows: Piano Showdown, which brings together keyboardists Bob Seely, Marcus Roberts and Terry Waldo for an evening of boogie-woogie, stride, barrelhouse and blues styles; Le Jazz Hot, a revue of the masterful John Jorgenson Quintet (who recently enjoyed a rapturous reception at Randy Wood’s Concert Hall in Bloomingdale), clarinet great Kenny Davern, and guitar legends Bucky Pizzarelli, Howard Alden and James Chirillo; and Swing Time, a summit meeting between trombonist Wycliffe Gordon, The Marcus Roberts Trio and Davern, Pizzarelli and Alden.

Memorial Health’s Feel Better Series features sitar player Anoushka Shankar (daughter of the great Ravi) and her octet, Celtic

music and dance troupe Leahy, the BBC Folk Award-winning Irish ensemble Flook, and one of the world’s most notable flamenco companies, Noche Flamenco with Soledad Barrio.

Al Jarreau performs March 15 Angelica and Vienna’s Wiener Akademie Baroque Orchestra collaborating on Bach’s St. Matthew Passion, the Boston Camerata (the USA’s pre-eminent early music ensemble, and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Robert Spano? “With Passion and Spirit.”

The festival’s Associate Artistic Director, violinist Daniel Hope, curates another series of one-time-only chamber music programs to be held in the Telfair Museum and Jepson Center for The Arts. Entitled sensations, it encompasses works by Beethoven, Dohnanyi, Profkofiev, Schubert, Bach and Vaughan Williams.

Fans of solo vocalists would be wise to take note of the Singular Voices program, featuring acclaimed English tenor Mark Padmore (a favorite of European opera audiences), bassist Morris Robinson (who specializes in spirituals as well as opera), and Isabel Bayrakdarian, an Armenian-Canadian who’s given recitals at Carnegie Hall, and was featured on the Grammy-winning score to Peter Jackson’s epic film The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers.

earns that distinction. It features five separate events, featuring everyone from pianist Ivan Moravec (considered one of the greatest of this century) to The Borodin Quartet (together for more than sixty years), and from pianists Philippe Entremont and Sebastian Knauer to cellist David Finckel and his wife, pianist Wu Han (who serve as co-artistic directors of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln center). This series is capped with an appearance by the phenomenal Beaux Arts Trio.

As we previewed in last week’s issue, some of the participating artists in the Connect Americana series include country and bluegrass stars Marty Stuart and Jerry Douglas — each leading their own bands.

Those who like to cut a rug can do so with ease at the dance-friendly Groove Masters series, featuring club-style shows from Porter-Batistse-Stoltz (the core trio from New Orleans’ famed Funky Meters), Puerto Rico’s top folk-music group Plena Libre, and a Cajun Zydeco Dance Party with accordionist Geno Delafose and band.

The Georgia Music Hall of Fame cosponsors Georgia On My Mind. Highlights of this series include a documentary film on the Sacred Harp Singers, and an Orleans Hall show pairing Grammy-nominated folk-pop songwriter Shawn Mullins and The Randall Bramlett Band.

The Gospel Truth sees a return engagement from the Savannah Music Festival Mass Choir led by iconic recording artist James Bignon (a high point of the 2006 festival), and The American Traditions Competition —from which the entire Savannah Music Festival sprung— remains a riveting centerpiece of the event.

Closing out this massive list of amazing performances is the ever-popular Music At Midday series of free, lunchtime shows (in a wide variety of genres from Celtic to classical to jazz to gospel) held at houses of worship and school buildings scattered throughout downtown, and The High School Jazz Band Showcase, featuring the cream of the crop of the area’s young musicians playing for free in Historic City Market. w For info and ticket sales go to www.savannahmusicfestival.org

“You know, this thing has become so big, that it has kind of taken on a life of its own,” Weisman admits with a chuckle.

The festival is well-known throughout America’s various folk and contemporary acoustic music circles, and the SFMS receives literally hundreds of submissions every year from artists hoping to be invited to perform at the three-day event.

Between the Savannah Music Festival, the Savannah Jazz Festival, the Irish Festival and the Coastal Heritage Society’s Blues & BBQ celebration, there’s no shortage of great, niche-oriented concerts for locals and tourists alike. Yet, there’s another musical showcase that’s become a community fixture without earning the same amount of buzz or cachet as the aforementioned events.

Perhaps that’s because of the inherently unpretentious nature of the genres it seeks to promote, or perhaps this low-key profile can more rightly be attributed to the laidback way in which its sponsors “push” the gala. Regardless, you don’t keep a live music festival on its feet for almost two decades without doing something right.

Savannah Folk Music Society President Hank Weisman knows this well. He sees this festival as merely the most prominent in a large number of live, (mostly) acoustic con-

years to help guide their decisions.

“We adamantly want there to be a diversity in the acts,” he explains. “For example, we try hard to feature a different type of headlining artist each year, as well as highlighting different genders and ethnicities.

Sometimes we get really lucky — like when we find a group like Notorious, which is a good band for contra-dancing, as well as for just a live concert performance. There aren’t too many out there that can do both, so that made our decision to hire them that much easier.”

While Weisman (also a regular performer and MC at SFMS events) admits that it’s hard to find new ways in which to spread awareness of acoustic folk music in today’s fast-paced and increasingly technologydriven society, he cites recent collaborations with SCAD’s online radio station and a longstanding partnership with local Georgia Public Radio host Dick Wallace’s weekly show Music Americana as good examples of how the public can be made aware of the great traditional entertainment that his group works to promote.

He’s also most excited about a first for this year’s festival: the 2006 Youth Songwriting Competition, in which seven budding composers have been winnowed down to four finalists — who’ll all compete in front of a panel of judges for a chance at some great prizes and a shot at singing an original tune on the main stage of the festival’s final day, sharing the bill with internationally-known artists.

“Our contest differs from those at most other festivals, because it focuses on people under twenty,” Weisman enthuses.

“We felt an important part of our mission was to try and interest young people in creating their own songs in the acoustic folk tradition. We’ve had great support from Annie’s Guitars & Drums in this. They’re enabling us to present the winners with a total of $1,000 in prizes.”

Weisman adds that it will be good (and likely inspiring) for the winning songwriter to get to interact with the headlining performers at Sunday’s final concert at the Historic Roundhouse. “The thing that’s impressed me all these years,” he says, “is that, by and large, no matter how famous they might be, folkies are usually extremely grounded people who are very easy to work with. They should provide great examples for an up-and-coming artist.”

This year’s event is fairly well-rounded, with —in addition to the youth competition held at AASU—an entire evening of standout local talent under the stars in City Market, an old-fashioned contra-dance, featuring squares, circles, reels and waltzes (for both beginners and experienced dancers), Saturday night at the Notre Dame Academy, and an entire day of major acoustic artists at The Roundhouse — including: singing guitarist Tracy Grammer —a favorite of Joan Baez and Mary Chapin-Carpenter— whose solo debut was the #1 most-played album on U.S. folk radio in 2005; bluesman and actor Guy Davis, known for his role in Broadway’s Zora Neale

Here’s a daunting task: playing The Beatles’ classic, densely-produced studio album Abbey Road live onstage, from start to finish, without relying on re-recorded tracks or tons of musicians. It’s a challenge The Beatles themselves never attempted to tackle — for they knew how difficult it would be to recreate such a baroque construct with only 4 people (no matter how talented). This All-star group of experienced rock musicians from Athens attempts to do just that. Do they completely succeed? No, but then, it’d be shocking if they did. They do manage, however, to do justice to an amazing song cycle that is often overlooked even by Beatles fans. Plus, they finish with plenty of other Fab Four tunes, most drawn from the years after the band gave up touring and devoted themselves to increasingly complex arrangements.

Sat., 10 pm, Locos Deli & Pub.

JeWop, Subversivo!

This inventive, brainy, and bizarrely entertaining Florida hardcore duo of electric bass prodigy Adam Safer (a Savannah native) and drummer Steve Caglianone make cathartic, manic bursts of explosive and contemplative punk-jazz that function best as musical exclamation points — like John Zorn directing the Minutemen. Subversivo! formed locally under the name Crippled Masters before relocating to Athens and honing their quirky, surf-rock meets Klezmer meets speed-metal sound. This will be an adventurous night that will defy most expectations and attempts to categorize the groups.

‘Safe Shelter Benefit Show’

This family-oriented event features tons of local bands in a variety of genres donating their time and talent to help raise money for a worthy cause: confidentially helping victims of domestic violence. Family activities (like pottery, face painting, and amusement parkstyle rides) will be available through 4 pm, at which time the beer will start to flow, and the music kicks up a notch. Acts include: 7 Gates To Elsewhere, The Structures, The Train Wrecks, Hazzard County feat. Jason Courtenay, Argyle, Flamin’ Yawn, Broken Tyme and Sinister Moustache.

Sat., noon to 10 pm, Grayson Stadium - ALL-AGES.

The Sandcarvers

Called “The Midwest’s Premiere Celtic Rock Band,” this critically-praised group is touring behind the 6th indie CD, Dealin’ Craic. They mix traditional Irish instruments and song structures with a kick-ass backline that propels the songs along with an infectious fervor. This is merely the latest in a long series of top-notch Celtic rock and punk bands being brought into this venue.

Frank Black, Reid Paley

Considered by many to be the most hotly-anticipated local club-sized rock concert of the year, this intimate show (co-sponsored by Connect) finds legendary Pixies singer and guitarist Black breaking in a brand-new band (featuring veteran players who’ve toured and recorded with everyone from PJ Harvey and Capt. Beefheart to Lucinda Williams and Steve Earle) with a retrospective show that covers his entire solo career since the early ‘90s. Opening act Paley is a rough-and-tumble, barking film-noir bluesman in the Tom Waits and Charles Bukowski vein who beats the hell out of an old guitar while moaning hard luck tales and threatening boasts.

Tickets are still available for this must-see gig, and can be charged online at www.tinyteamconcerts.info, or bought with cash at Primary Art Supply, Le Chai Wine Gallerie, Annie’s Guitars & Drums, Marigold Beauty Concepts, Angel’s BBQ and Silly Mad CDs. $30 adv. /$33 at the door.

Will Rast & Friends

One of the most dynamic and funky jazz pianists to play a nightclub in Savannah in years, this Washington, D.C.-based artist plays in Grammy winning R & B vocalist Mya’s touring band, and leads his own group of ace players. With influences as diverse as Keith Jarrett, Jimmy Smith, Pat Metheny, James Brown and The Grateful Dead, odds are this 3-night stand —including a rhythm section and sax— will be one of the best weekends of free jazz downtown will see this year outside of the recent Jazz Fest.

At this point in his illustrious career, it’s hard to imagine Martin Scorsese accepting another filmmaker’s hand-me-downs. Yet in essence, that’s what’s taking place with The Departed, which isn’t an original screen story but rather a remake of a 2002 Hong Kong film titled Infernal Affairs. Working from a script by William Monahan, Scorsese has made a picture that’s more in line with such past mob morality tales as GoodFellas and Mean Streets than with his recent spate of ambitious (and Oscar-lunging) period epics like The Aviator and Gangs of New York. But while The Departed is a strong film, it’s by no means a match for any of those aforementioned titles. Nor is it equal to Infernal Affairs, which wore its sleek 100-minute running time far better than this one navigates its 150-minute length. Set in Boston, this new take casts Jack Nicholson as Frank Costello, the crime lord with the foresight to make sure that one of his protégées, Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon), is placed in a position to be able to rise through the ranks of the Massachusetts State Police Department. Colin is eventually assigned to the special unit tasked with investigating Costello, an outfit run by the animated Captain Ellerby (Alec Baldwin). Ellerby trusts Colin, little suspecting that his right-hand man is actually the informant.

Meanwhile, down the hall, the paternal Captain Queenan (Martin Sheen) and the blunt Sergeant Dignam (Mark Wahlberg) are just as determined as Ellerby to nail Costello. To that end, they assign Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) to get his hands dirty enough to convince Costello that he’s a bona fide criminal and worth adding to his band of outlaws.

Having been raised on the wrong side of the tracks, Billy has no trouble fitting in, although the strain of having to lead a double life soon wears him down. He strikes up a relationship with the police department’s psychiatrist (Vera Farmiga), not realizing that she’s Colin’s girlfriend. Issues of identity, duplicity and deception remain constants throughout the film, and it’s refreshing to find a stateside remake that for once doesn’t feel the need to dumb down its philosophical musings for the sake of Yank audiences. The violence and vulgarity -- trademarks of this sort of Scorsese outing -- are pitched at operatic levels, and even taking the milieu into consideration, they occasionally verge on overkill. So, too, does the performance by Nicholson, who begins the film as a terrifying villain but winds down as a raving buffoon. The younger actors do a better job maintaining the appropriate levels of intensity. DiCaprio is coiled and edgy, Damon alternates between charismatic and creepy, and Wahlberg (stealing the film) somehow turns surliness into an endearing character trait. w

ALL THE KING’S MEN 

An adaptation of Robert Penn Warren’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, the solid 1949 movie version of All the King’s Men has found its standing diminished over the passage of time; even with a handful of Oscars to its name (including Best Picture), it’s rarely brought up when discussing the notable films of 50odd years ago. Still, it doubtless will beat the life expectancy of the new screen take on All the King’s Men, as it’s hard to imagine anyone discussing this bomb 50 days from now.

Warren’s book centered on boisterous, largerthan-life governor Willie Stark, but really it was just a thinly disguised look at the career of Louisiana politician Huey Long. If high school memory serves me, the novel spent more time on Willie’s right-hand man, former newspaper reporter Jack Burden, yet still presented Long as such a dynamic figure that the roles were essentially balanced. In crafting his 1949 feature, writer-director Robert Rossen wisely made Willie Stark the unequivocal central character, with Burden relegated to the sidekick part of conflicted narrator. The earlier film is by no means perfect, yet Rossen did a masterful job with the exposition.

Steven Zaillian’s new film is an unmitigated disaster, choked by miscast actors, suffocated by illogical editing and drowned by a choppy script that offers no real sense of period (oddly, the time frame has been shifted from the 1930s to the 1950s) and no clear delineation of its central themes. Let’s start with the grotesque miscasting of Sean Penn as Willie Stark. Broderick Crawford earned the Best Actor Oscar for his turn as Willie, and while that might have been an overly generous gesture on the part of the Academy, there’s no denying that Crawford’s bluster and burly frame were perfect for the role of a self-proclaimed “hick� whose folksy charms endeared him to his state’s rural population.

West Coast kid Penn, on the other hand, is about as folksy as a Manhattan Starbucks, and never mind that he looks nothing like Stark model Huey Long. This is one of Penn’s worst performances, second only to his shameless “Look, Ma, I’m retarded!� showboating in I Am Sam; even his pompadour hair is miscast.

While Brits are renowned for their ability to mimic Southern accents (for starters, think Vivien Leigh as either Scarlett or Blanche), the ones employed here -- excellent actors, all -- barely even make an effort to merge into the setting. Jude Law (as Burden) and Anthony Hopkins seem bored; Kate Winslet merely seems lost.

THE BLACK DAHLIA ď‚śď‚ś1/2

Until it derails while heading into its final turn, The Black Dahlia represents Brian De Palma’s most assured moviemaking in at least a decade, a glorious and gritty neo-noir which reminds us that only Scorsese and maybe a couple of others can match this maverick filmmaker when it comes to astonishing feats of technical derring-do. Based on the novel

by James Ellroy (L.A. Confidential), it presents a fictionalized take on the real-life slaying of Hollywood starlet Elizabeth Short (touchingly played by Mia Kirshner). Dwight “Bucky�

Bleichert (Josh Hartnett) and Lee Blanchard (Aaron Eckhart) are the cops on the case, with Lee’s girlfriend Kay Lake (Scarlett Johansson) and the mysterious society woman Madeleine Linscott (Hilary Swank) set up as the potential femme fatales. Working from Josh Friedman’s sharp screenplay and backed by tremendous production values, DePalma spins a compelling murder-mystery that clicks until the last act, at which point the movie madly dashes through its messy

detective as much as a Boy Scout shilling for a sleuthing merit badge. But factor in Hartnett’s complete inability to project anything more than glazed befuddlement, and The Black Dahlia has a cavernous hole right where its noir heart should beat.

tune). Kevin Costner plays Louis Gossett Jr., the Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer instructor whose tough-love approach to training works wonders for the young recruits; Ashton Kutcher is Richard Gere, a narcissistic pretty-boy student more interested in making a name for himself and romancing the local cutie (Melissa Sagemiller) than in actually saving lives. For a long while, The Guardian wears its cliches pretty well, but because this is a Kevin Costner film -- and because Costner spends more time playing mythic, larger-than-life Christ figures instead of ordinary mortals -- we sense this can only end one way. Director Andrew Davis and scripter Ron L. Brinkerhoff tease us by hinting that the final act might actually stray from its preordained path, but no: When push comes to shove, the pair pummel us with the shameless ending we dreaded from the minute the opening credits appeared on the screen.

"ARNARD 3TREET UNDER THE '!0 resolutions, pausing only long enough to succumb to some ill-placed camp. Yet even if the movie had kept its head from start to finish, it still wouldn’t have survived some critical miscasting. Along with Kirshner, Eckhart takes top acting honors, infusing Lee with a sense of moral indignity that might potentially run counter to some less savory qualities. Johansson and Swank are adequate as the women in the cops’ lives, though neither brings enough force of personality to their respective parts to truly make them their own. But it’s the selection of Hartnett that immediately sabotages this picture’s chances at complete success. His Bucky Bleichert doesn’t seem like a

that’s the sense of deja vu that settled in after viewing the two films in consecutive weeks.

Here we have the same running time (an overextended 135 minutes), the same degree of quality in the CGI work (impressive), and the same fortune-cookie-level pontificating about the need for sacrifice, bravery and personal responsibility. Even more than Flyboys, though, this resembles An Officer and a Gentleman, right down to the scene where our handsome hero bursts into his girlfriend’s place of employment to declare his everlasting love (sign of the times: Instead of the Oscar-winning “Up Where We Belong,� the soundtrack swells with a treacly Bryan Adams

A major award winner both at Sundance and in its Italian homeland, 2001’s The Last Kiss (L’Ultimo Bacio) tackles the topic of relationships in such a straightforward and emotionally honest manner that by the end, it’s impossible to ascertain whether the film is, at its core, deeply pessimistic or quietly hopeful. An American remake would naturally be expected to dumb down the entire experience. But that’s not exactly what happens with the new stateside take on The Last Kiss.

To a startling degree, this version retains many of the prickly elements that made the original so memorable; it only falters at the very end, and even then by a far lesser degree than one would reasonably expect. The Last Kiss places its primary focus on the relationship between Michael (Zach Braff) and Jenna (Jacinda Barrett). Michael is about to turn 30 and elects to have his mid-life crisis about a decade earlier than planned. He’s deeply in love with his longtime girlfriend Jenna, but once she announces that she’s pregnant, he freaks out, deciding that he’s not prepared to cope with either being a husband or being a father. Kim (Rachel Bilson), a college student who’s perpetually perky, spots Michael at a wedding and is instantly attracted to him. Initially, Michael feebly fights off her advances, but soon he’s the one dropping by the campus to see her and making plans to go with her to a party. The situations presented here are strikingly similar to the ones on display in the Italian original, which means that this film rarely backs away from confronting thorny situations head-on. If there’s a key difference, it’s in the personalities of these various players. The characters in L’Ultimo Bacio felt in every sense like real adults, grown people with a passion for life and, for the most part, a determination to ultimately face up to their own shortcomings. This latest Kiss, on the other hand, fits more comfortably into the niche of recent films that portray the American male as a man-child incapable of achieving and/or sustaining the level of maturity and clear-eyed vision enjoyed by his female counterpart. The final sequence is more open-ended than what’s typically served up in American films of this nature, yet I still found myself wishing it had gone farther. It’s been

What’s Playing Where

BYď‚śď‚śď‚ś

Like Spam, energy drinks and the music of Yanni, Will Ferrell is one of those acquired tastes that satisfy devotees while perplexing everyone else. While some folks swear by his 2004 starring vehicle Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, I’m not one of them.

This one-note movie struck me as annoying rather than amusing, meaning I wasn’t exactly anticipating Ferrell and director Adam McKay reteaming for a comedy about a NASCAR redneck. My mistake. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby is often uproarious, and it’s clever in a way that Anchorman rarely attempted. Like Ron Burgundy, Ricky Bobby is also an egotistical, none-too-bright boor. “I piss excellence,� he declares, and his standing as NASCAR’s best driver certainly signals that he’s excellent at something.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN’S CHEST

At 145 minutes, Dead Man’s Chest ends up providing too much bang for the buck.

That’s just about the same running time as its predecessor, but that film wore its length better, given that the screenplay had its hands full establishing setting, introducing characters, hammering out its weighty plot, and still finding time to include action scenes in the best swashbuckling tradition. Certainly, those expecting amazing feats of derring-do won’t be disappointed by this new film. The effects-driven action scenes are clearly the picture’s highlights, and they alone make Dead Man’s Chest worth the price of admission. w

Reviews

THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE (1974) It’s probably putting it mildly to note that when this horror flick was first released back in 1974, it caught audiences completely off guard. Even coming on the heels of The Exorcist, which did its own share of theater-clearing, this one emerged as a lightning rod of controversy; like the earlier Night of the Living Dead, it succeeded largely because of its gritty, low-budget shooting style, and its influence on subsequent (and inferior) slasher flicks cannot be overstated. Loosely based on the real-life exploits of serial killer Ed Gein (whose sordid tale also served as the basis for Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho), it centers around five college-age kids whose ill-advised road trip through a desolate part of Texas puts them in contact with a murderous, cannibalistic clan whose most terrifying member, tagged “Leatherface,” is a silent, hulking psychopath with a nasty habit of peeling off his victims’ faces and wearing them as masks.

The movie itself has worn many faces over the years, representing the disillusionment of the nation after Vietnam and Watergate; pushing a pro-vegetarian stance by decrying the brutality of eating meat; serving as a bastardization of the comforting image of the all-American family as a wholesome, reliable entity; and further supporting the big-city mindset that views rural America as a haven for inbred illiterates. The bottom line is that the flick remains a genuine classic of the genre, a punishing, unrelenting nightmare that never allows viewers even a moment of sanity or security. Much of the credit goes to lead actress Marilyn Burns: There’s a touch of madness in her third-act emoting, and her wide-eyed terror -- as primal as anything I’ve ever seen in a motion picture -- remains with you long after the film is over. Ignore the 2003 remake, a feeble retelling that guts the integrity of the original and wears its own cynicism like a ragged mask. Extras in the two-disc DVD edition include two separate audio commentaries featuring Burns, Gunnar Hansen (Leatherface), director Tobe Hooper and other cast and crew members, two comprehensive documentaries (each over an hour in length), a tour of the film’s house by Hansen, and deleted scenes.

THE LITTLE MERMAID (1989)

The Golden Age of Disney feature-film animation ended a few years before Uncle Walt’s death in 1966, and it wasn’t until 1989 that a new (if short-lived) renaissance took place. After approximately a quarter-century of modestly amusing but imminently forgettable toon flicks, The Little Mermaid single-handedly jump-started the genre, leading to several more gems (Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King) before the glut of increasingly mediocre titles as well as the shift to computer imagery all but killed off the traditional hand-drawn form. This new Platinum Edition allows us to again indulge in old-school pleasures, aided by enhanced picture and sound that make the film pop off the TV screen. Everything is just right in this cheerful adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen tale: Ariel makes for a lovely heroine as the perpetually inquisitive mermaid who longs to be human; Ursula the sea witch provides boisterous villainy; and Sebastian, the cautious crab with the Jamaican accent, ranks with Disney’s all-time great scenestealers. In addition to reviving the animated art form, The Little Mermaid also brought melody back to the movies, thanks to the terrific song score by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman. Fittingly, Menken earned the Best Original Score Oscar, while both men were honored with the Best Original Song Oscar for the infectious “Under the Sea.” Extras in the two-disc DVD set include audio commentary by Menken and co-directors Ron Clements and John Musker, a 45-minute making-of feature, deleted scenes, a piece on Hans Christian Andersen, and an educational short titled DisneyPedia: Life Under the Sea.

the 411|Free Will Astrology ARIES (March 21-April 19): According to the *Midwest

Book Review,* David Foster Wallace’s 1,088-page book *Infinite Jest* is “perhaps the most innovative novel in the English language since James Joyce’s *Ulysses.”* The *Review of Contemporary Fiction* calls *Infinite Jest* a vast comic epic, adding that it’s “so brilliant you need sunglasses to read it.” On the other hand, critic Dan Schneider (Cosmoetica.com) believes *Infinite Jest* “might be the worst novel ever written.”

I expect that there will be a similar diversity of opinion about you and your efforts in the coming week, Aries.

My advice? Ignore everyone’s assessment but your own and that of the person who knows you best.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Roy Rivenburg writes in the

*L.A. Times* that there has recently been a rash of mannequin assaults. He cites four people who have been struck by falling dummies while shopping in clothes stores. For example, one victim was hit in the head by a mannequin’s arm when a clerk tried to remove its shirt. I mention this for two reasons, Taurus. First, the planets are aligned in such a way as to suggest that you could, if you’re not careful, get in a tangle with a doll, statue, puppet, robot, or scarecrow in the coming week.

Second, you should minimize your interactions with anyone whose expression never changes, whose behavior seems mechanical, or whose actions seem controlled by someone else.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Growing up in Montreal, musician Rufus Wainwright was steeped in the mystique of that city’s legendary songwriter Leonard Cohen. As a young adult, Wainwright finally got to meet Cohen.

The great man’s daughter brought him to her family’s home. To Wainwright’s surprise, Cohen was in his underwear in the kitchen cooking up tiny sausages, which he was chewing, regurgitating, and feeding to a weak baby bird he had found and was trying to revive.

I predict that you’ll soon have a comparable experience, Gemini: A revered source of magic and myth will confound your fantasies in a poignant and delightful

Circle of Healing

Connect, discuss, meditate and share energy with live-minded individuals in this free, inspirational circle of healing at the Center continued on page 42

by Rob Brezsny way. You may even cry with amazement and laugh with mournful bliss. (Thanks to the film *I’m Your Man* for Wainwright’s story.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “It’s my job to be emotional,”

rock music goddess Bjork told *Nylon* magazine. “Doctors cure diseases and shoemakers make shoes. It’s my job to go through emotions and describe them to other people.” By my astrological reckoning, this is also an apt description of the role you should play in the coming weeks, my fellow Cancerian. It’s a perfect time for you to commune with every feeling on your vast palette, as well as to add some new colors and textures you’ve never imagined before. One more piece of advice: As you express the richness of your inner world to interested parties, be artistic and entertaining, never self-indulgent or sloppy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Here’s some advice I bet you won’t

get from any other astrologer, therapist, or counselor: Get *ungrounded* for a while. You heard me, Leo. Detach from your moorings. Sail up into the stratosphere and exult in having your head in the clouds. Be dreamy and floaty and airy-fairy (except when driving or operating heavy machinery, of course). For best results, you might also want to throw off your chains.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Astute salesmen from the Brit-

ish store Fortnum & Mason took full advantage of the Crimean War back in the 1850s. They sold picnic lunches to officers who were leading the battles at the siege of Sebastapol on the Black Sea coast. In the coming weeks, Virgo, you too can capitalize on a conflict you’re not directly involved in. For best results, make sure you don’t get caught in the crossfire. Cultivate neutrality, doing absolutely nothing to feed the flames of hostility.

Ply your skills and offer your services with impeccable timing, slipping in and out with understated efficiency during lulls in the uproar.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’re renowned for your bal-

ancing acts, Libra. Seeing both sides of every story is your specialty. Striving to make opposites attract is an inclination you were born to cultivate. You may not always be in the mood to fight for harmony, and you may not always succeed at maintaining equilibrium, but you work harder at these fine arts than any other sign of the zodiac. Having said all that, though, I will now advise you to rebel against your usual shtick. It’s time for you to try out a new *unbalancing* act--to go to extremes without worrying about covering your ass. The cosmos is giving you permission to be unapologetically vivacious and mischievously blunt as you say, “It’s my way or the highway.” (P.S. You might want to study the style of your Aries acquaintances.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Medical researchers have dis-

covered an innovative technique for fighting brain cancer: radioactive scorpion venom. Injected into tumors, it attacks the malignancy with remarkable efficiency. I mention this, Scorpio, because it’s a good metaphor for an opportunity that’s now presenting itself to you. If invoked and applied in small doses, a normally toxic part of your Scorpio nature can catalyze a breakthrough that will lead to a deep healing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): This would be a perfect

moment to fly to Afghanistan and volunteer to play with refugee children whose mothers are suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome. It would also be an excellent time to bring vitality and wisdom to a dispute among your family members that’s challenging for you to deal with. In fact, pretty much anything you do to help people who are difficult to help would, in ways impossible to foresee, energize your own ambitions. Being a humble, selfless saint for a while would turn out to be a tremendous spur to your personal goals.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): My Hollywood spies tell me

that one of the new products placed in the gift bags for the celebrities at the Emmy Awards show was Oxyfresh’s

Pet Oral Hygiene Solution, a breath- freshening spray for dogs, cats, monkeys, and other beloved animals. It would be a good week, astrologically speaking, for you to obtain this product for the creatures in your life.

More than that, though, it will also be a favorable time for you to scout out promotional opportunities for your own unique product or talent. How can you get your specialty into the hands of ripe prospects who don’t know about it yet?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): King Ludwig II of Bavaria

(1845-1886) was deposed after being designated as insane by a team of psychiatrists. Among the evidence they cited as proof that Ludwig was crazy were his blueprints for a flying vehicle that would resemble a peacock. In recent months, however, a German engineer named Dalibor Karacic has examined Mad King Ludwig’s plans and declared that they are feasible. The steam-powered peacock would have indeed been capable of flight. Ludwig, says Karacic, was ahead of his time. Take heart from this correction, Aquarius. If you relentlessly nurture your faith in your frontier ideas-notions that others might call fairy tales--you will ultimately be vindicated.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your addiction is obstruct-

ing you from your destiny, and yet it’s also your ally.

How can both be true? On the downside, your addiction diverts your energy from a deeper desire that it superficially resembles. For instance, if you’re an alcoholic, your urge to get loaded is probably an inferior substitute for and a poor imitation of your buried longing to commune with spiritual mysteries. On the upside, your addiction is also your ally, because it dares you to get strong and smart enough to wrestle free of its grip on you; it pushes you to summon the fierce willpower necessary to defeat the darkness within you that would obstruct you from your destiny. (P.S. Don’t tell me you have no addictions. Each of us is addicted to some sensation, feeling, thought, or action, if not to an actual substance.)

912-233-6000 www.CoraBettT homas.com SAVE MORE THAN MONEY! Forget about tree-hugging – the high cost of energy is making environmentalists out of everyone! Homebuilders and homeowners are no exception, and it’s anticipated that by 2010, about ten percent of all new homes will be “green.”

The biggest challenge to green building has been the misconception that it costs more to construct such a home.

But if you do the math over the long run, the money saved will far outpace the money invested.

Consider that environmentally sound design actually uses less construction materials, and you can see that green buildings may indeed cost less to build than more traditional methods. Buckminster Fuller developed the idea of dome buildings decades ago, and builders are now capitalizing on the fact that a “dome home” might use only a third or even a quarter of the materials needed to construct a traditional house.

Aside from using less materials, the materials being chosen these days are also more durable than those used in the past. That translates into lower repair and replacement costs. Sounding better and better, isn’t it?

Finally, environmentally and financially friendly design manifests itself outside of the home, where dry landscaping (xeriscaping) helps to conserve water. “Green” homes also save water with fixtures like low-flush toilets, low-flow showerheads, and water recycling systems built right in. It’s good for you, your wallet, and your planet!

1109 Washington Avenue Fabulously renovated, spacious home built in 1900, features formal living and dining rooms, study, eat-in kitchen, garden room, 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and more! There is a separate apartment with nice kitchen and full bath. This beautiful old house overlooks Daffin Park in the heart of Savannah. $709,900.
