Star power

Starfish Cafe seeks to expand its mission of teaching real-world job skills to the disadvantaged There was a man who was walking along a sandy beach where thousands of starfish had been washed up on the shore. He noticed a boy picking the starfish one by one and throwing them back into the ocean. The man observed the boy for a few minutes and then asked what he was doing. The boy replied that he was returning the starfish to the sea, otherwise they would die.

The man asked how saving a few, when so many were doomed, would make any difference whatsoever? The boy picked up a starfish and threw it back into the ocean and said “Made a difference to that one...” -- The Star Thrower by Loren Eiseley omelessness and poverty are less than H glamorous issues. Few candidates will mention them on the stump, community leaders and planners often disregard them, and the general population understands them only through distant and disfiguring terms like

‘hand-outs,’ ‘bums,’ and ‘beggars.’

Homelessness, and to a similar extent poverty, is social taboo. Whether we personally attribute the existence of poverty to a lack of will or a broken system, we harbor our preconceived notions that perhaps only exacerbate the problem and alienate us from the solution.

Fortunately, there are those in Savannah, and communities around the country, who discard the stigmas and throw out a line to those in need. They have made ending homelessness and poverty their lives’ work, and therein comprehend what the rest of us can’t or, for whatever reason, won’t.

They aren’t able to save them all, but they can make a difference to one... one at a time. The Starfish Café, named for Eiseley’s passage above, is such an establishment.

Formerly known as the Bread and Butter Café, the Starfish Café is a partnership between Union Mission, Inc. and Savannah Technical College. They offer a 20-week course of class work and culinary training to people flying far below the radar.

Since 2001, they have graduated 300 students.

“We train the homeless, those at risk, those battling Andre McKenzie and Antonio Jolly, students in Class #39

For those unfamiliar with the Café, it began as the brainchild of America’s Second Harvest Food Bank, meant as an outreach extension of Union Mission, Inc. Union Mission aims to end poverty in Savannah, they help accomplish this through providing health services, mail services, food, childcare, counseling and rehabilitation, and shelter to those struggling to get on their feet.

The results have been impressive. Restaurateurs from around the city have called the Café looking for students that excel in food preparation. Some of the many success stories boast employment at fine dining establishments like Elizabeth’s on 37th, Cobblestone Conch House, Garibaldi’s, and the Bonna Bella Yacht Club.

“The students are everywhere now --- from Elizabeth on 37th to managing the Huddle House,” says Elliott. “It is extremely gratifying to run into them when I take my wife out to dinner.”

“We have more restaurants that want our students and our Cafe Manager Gloria Clements and Cafe Director graduates than Rachel Petraglia According we have graduto Chef Rachel, ating,” exclaims job and life skills training were a “logiChef Rachel.

New & Opinion

“If we had a dollar for every time patrons asked, ‘When are you going to do a cookbook,’ then the Café would be rolling in more than just the flour-made kind of dough!” says Chef Rachel.

Many of the recipes in the cookbook, entitled Starfish Café: Changing Lives One Recipe at a Time, originated in the Café. It features some of their breakfast and lunchtime favorites, as well as original recipes created by Chef Rachel and the students of the program. The book’s not only a great recipe collection, it’s a testament to the mission and heart of the Starfish Café, Union Mission, and Savannah Tech.

Union Mission Executive Director and author Mike Elliott contributed profiles of eight students. These men and women came from a variety of backgrounds and compromising situations and each one of them emerged from the culinary arts program as a hardworking member of the community with a bright and promising future. They are all survivors, starfish that someone believed in.

The Starfish Café looks to double the number of students coming though the program and expand their services to include training for baking and pastry chefs, catering, and even professional servers.

They are hopeful that they will achieve financial balance by continuing to cut costs without sacrificing the quality of the food or the training.

Chef Rachel is thankful for the support of the community, the Today Show, and even Mayor Otis Johnson, a regular customer.

“The best thing people can do for the Café is to come in and eat,” says Chef Rachel. “It gives great gratification to the students.”

Additional support can be given through donations of old cooking magazines, cookbooks, and kitchen equipment. Beyond that, the Starfish Café looks for word-of-mouth to promote their menu, their meals, and their mission.

“Anytime over 300 people climb out of poverty and live productive lives – raising their families, living in their own homes, paying taxes, voting, attending their synagogue, church, or religious congregation – the entire community is better off,” says Elliott. w

Tail, meet dog.

Dog, tail. ore and more around M here, it seems the tail is wagging the dog.

Someone I know restored a house in midtown and has it for sale. Judging from the minute attention to detail that city inspectors pay to such projects these days, one would assume it’s exactly the type of quality, private-sector restoration the city wants in order to upgrade its tax base in that area.

After the long, laborious process of passing all the stringent city permits, the attractive little home sits on a well-manicured block populated by quiet, law-abiding, tax-paying working class people.

Except for the crack house right across the street.

Traffic comes and goes at all hours of the day and night. It comes by foot, it comes by bicycle, it comes in late-model SUVs with very good sound systems. The customer’s always right!

The efficiency of the enterprise is aided immensely by the “court” behind the crack house -- actually a nicely paved alley the

I read with great amusement the recent article in the Savannah Morning News headlined “A local businessman’s war against the Creative Coast.”

Now, there are plenty of legitimate questions one might, and probably should, pose to SEDA and The Creative Coast as partially taxpayer-funded entities. But instead we got an article about a notorious local gadfly’s quixotic, litigious and enormously time-wasting effort at blatant self-promotion.

I don’t mean to sound superior, because the joke’s on me. The gadfly got what he wanted, which was attention.

Not in a million years would I be able to summon the Chamber of Commerce president and the assistant city manager to a meeting, like this character was apparently able to do. (If I did I’d no doubt discuss items one and two from this column, which I guess would prove problematic.)

But the tail wags the dog, again.

So why doesn’t the dog regain control of his tail, as nature intended? Doesn’t the pup understand that everyone laughs at his folly?

Isn’t it time for the dog to finally grow up and put his tail in its place, so he can re-

Your city council just told the world that given a choice between having in its tourist district either a nightclub with a long, well-documented track record of sordid activity or a national hotel chain -- Savannah will take the club, thanks!

Forget all that guff about Savannah’s desire to attract quality investment and our need for more hotel beds downtown.

There’s a 600-capacity club a block away from River Street that wants a liquor license! Stat!

I understand old-fashioned horse-trading, even admire it on occasion. But what constituency does this club serve? I doubt many of its patrons vote.

In fact, if the police are correct when they tell us it’s the best place in town to start a warrant sweep, many of its patrons can’t vote because they’re convicted felons.

Anyway, good luck to Comfort Suites and to SCAD, who now get to experience the same delightful pleasure -- a veritable “paradise,” one might even say -- on Indian Street that so many businesses on Broughton Street experienced for so very long.

Let’s look at the bright side. As Alderman Tony Thomas said approvingly while voting in favor of the license: What other club in town employs so many policemen to protect its patrons? What other club is conscientious enough to wand it patrons before they can enter?

Indeed, Tony. Kind of like how Baghdad is the safest place in the world because of all the tanks and guns and soldiers there, right?

city thoughtfully keeps in immaculate condition.

The crack house itself is an ugly shack with paint falling off, usually housing upwards of a dozen people depending on who’s in jail at the time.

Sometimes there’s no running water in the house, but that’s no problem. They just walk next door with a bucket and steal water from the neighbor in broad daylight.

Needless to say, the neighbor doesn’t mind.

Being all neighborly and what not.

When they’re not conducting business out back, gentlemen hang out on the front porch making overt sexual comments to passing women and occasionally having drug seizures in the street, screaming gibberish and frothing at the mouth.

The police say they’re aware bad stuff goes on at that house across the street. But hey, there’s only so much they can do. It’s just so hard to catch them in the act.

Much, much easier to catch someone in the act of disobeying a “No Turn on Red” sign. Doing that will cost you exactly $280, by the way.

Last time I checked, the house remains unsold. Besides dictating every other aspect of life on this otherwise peaceful, attractive block, the crack house across the street literally dictates the terms of the local economy. It literally determines whether you can sell or rent your house, and if so for how much.

Tail wags the dog.

Zettler, a retired attorney and former member of Savannah City Council, was a veteran of World War Two and active in many veterans’ events.

“He’s been a motivating factor in this whole thing,” says Vejar, chairman of the monument committee of the Chatham County Veterans’ Council.

“This was his baby,” says Cetti, chairman of the auction. “He started the memorial by collecting coins. I wish he could have seen it because he worked hard on it.”

So far, the group has collected $200,000 toward the $1.2 million needed to construct the monument, a sculpture designed

by Garland Weeks of Dallas, Texas and Susie Chisholm of Savannah, with structural

assistance from architect Eric Meyerhoff.

A central globe, split in half to represent the two war theaters, will be surrounded by nine statues depicting military and civilians who were involved in the war effort.

Rosie the Riveter will represent “those folks who supported the war, people who built the Liberty ships here in Savannah and had to go along with the rationing and that sort of thing,” says Vejar. “We want it to be allencompassing.”

With Oglethorpe Square as its intended site, discussions with review bodies have lengthened the planning process, creating frustration for the monument committee.

As delays have continued, a possible alternate site has surfaced. Vejar says that earlier this year, representatives from Savannah River Landing approached the committee with an offer to site the World War Two monument at the entrance of the upscale development planned for east of downtown.

Does Vejar think the new site will come to fruition?

“You want my opinion? Yes,” says Vejar.

“But we’re not going to give the square up until we’ve got everything in final contract form.

“These guys are dying every day and that bothers me. It really bothers me.”

The World War II Monument fundraiser starts at 5:30 p.m. this Saturday at the Mighty Eighth Museum in Pooler. Tickets are $25, which includes a tour of the mu-

Greatest. Article. Ever.

Editor, I’ve been reading Connect for 3 years now, and of all the articles I have read, Jim Reed’s “Paradise lost? No such luck� is by far the best.

Thank you for cutting out the fluff to make way for brutal honesty. Maybe the tourists would have preferred something more happy-go-lucky, but I embrace the notion that this came straight from the heart, with undeniable relevancy to Savannah residents.

The article addresses an issue that is somewhat taboo with local media, and I applaud that you have the guts to publish it. gRan

Get off busthe

A fugitive on the run from authorities in Sarasota, Fla. was arrested July 19 in Savannah. David Jacob Callwood, 22, who was wanted for the armed robbery of a cab driver, arrived for a layover at the Greyhound Bus Terminal. Officers converged and saw Callwood walking through the building.

An officer asked Callwood what his name was. When he identified himself, he was placed under arrest. As he was being placed in handcuffs, Callwood exclaimed, “You can arrest me here?” During a search the officers found multiple rounds of .9mm ammunition in Callwood’s belongings. He was taken to jail.

The Sarasota Police Department had asked for assistance in capturing Callwood, who was en route to North Carolina. He is the third fugitive arrested at the bus terminal in one week. SWAT Team officers arrested two fugitives from Colorado as they changed buses on July 17. www.toothpastefordinner.com

from recent Savannah/Chatham Police incident reports

• An officer was called to a Harden Street residence in reference to a domestic dispute. A woman at the scene said she got into a physical altercation with the suspect. She said she is in a relationship with the suspect and has children with him.

She said she went to Harden Street to speak with the suspect, where she said he was selling drugs. The two began fighting verbally about their relationship.

The victim said the suspect pushed her away and tried to throw her to the ground. They struggled for a moment and then the victim got free of the suspect. She said she ran to her car and got a baseball bat out of it. The suspect then took the baseball bat away from her and they started to struggle again. The suspect threw the woman to the ground and kneeled down on her neck, then started hitting her in the face.

She said he stopped only because an unknown woman stopped and tried to intervene. The suspect ran into his brother’s house, and the victim called police. The woman did have visible injuries, including a cut on her lip and swelling on the left side of her face, but she refused EMS at the scene. Officers attempted to contact the suspect, but didn’t get a response.

• A woman called police to say her check car, credit card and CAT bus car all had been taken from her car after she had a dispute with a friend. She said she and the suspect had gone to a Montgom-

ery Street club in her car. While there, she and the suspect got into a verbal dispute, at which point she left the suspect by himself to leave with another friend.

When the woman left the club, she was advised by friends that a police officer used a “Slim Jim” to let the suspect into her car. She then noticed that the items were missing from the vehicle.

The woman said the incident had been caught on camera, and she wanted to make a complaint against the officer. A supervisor was made aware of the incident. After the officer gathered all information from the woman, he was disconnected. After numerous attempts to call her back, he was able to leave the case report number on her voice mail.

• Both a security officer at a local hospital and the owner of a car called police to report that someone had attempted to steal the car. The security officer said the vehicle was in the middle of a roadway and at first he advised a co-worker that he thought the vehicle had broken down. After not seeing anyone around the vehicle, the guard and the co-worker pushed it out of the roadway.

The owner, a hospital employee, was notified about the incident and came out to state he parked his car in a slot. It was then discovered that the steering column was broken and heavily damaged. The victim had installed a kill switch in the vehicle, so that when the thief tried to drive it off, is shut off in the middle of the roadway. The victim said the car had been locked, but the passenger side window is faulty and slides up and down, which is apparently how the suspect entered the car.

The suspect’s hat was found inside the car on the front floorboard. The car was placed on the forensics list to be tested for evidence. Because of the steering damage, the victim had to leave the car and be transported home. While officers were on the scene, a second auto theft attempt oc-

the bleeding

Egypt’s Muslims are growing weary of the number of specific religious edicts (“fatwas”) issued by the country’s clerics, including two recent, highly controversial ones, according to a June New York Times dispatch from Cairo. Ezzat Atiya, a lecturer at the prestigious al-Azhar Islamic University, had declared that men can be permitted to see unrelated women without their head scarves (which is ordinarily prohibited) by the symbolic act of the woman’s breastfeeding the man five times, which in theory places the woman on similar footing to the man’s mother. A second challenging fatwa declared that drinking the urine of the Prophet Muhammad would be holy. (Atiya has been suspended.)

In May, one of the world’s Christian “dental healers,” the interdenominational Rev. Steve Jones, set up his latest revival

New Frontiers in Science

(1) Hitachi’s “brain machine interface,” which it showed an Associated Press reporter in June, might soon allow a user to don a hat and turn an appliance on or off by merely thinking about doing so. (Until now, such thought-controlled instructions could only be done by people with devices implanted.) (2) Scientists at Italy’s La Sapienza University announced in May that they had, for apparently the first time, surgically grafted a vagina (built with stem cells) onto a woman who had been born without one due to a rare condition.

Questionable Judgments

Probation-Happy Judges: (1) Judge Angelo DiCamillo of Camden, N.J., thought probation (and $750 restitution) was enough for six teenagers in June, even though they had wrecked a family’s home

during a party ($18,000 damages), urinated and defecated on the furniture and (except for one boy) declined to apologize. (2) Also in June, Judge Harold Kahn of San Francisco thought probation was enough for a woman who had claimed the identity of another (through stolen credit cards) and run up six months of bills and bad credit, and even though the thief was already on probation. (Bonus fact: The victim had collared the perp herself, following a chance meeting, and handed her to police.)

Just Can’t Stop Myself

(1) “Bishop” Anthony Owens, 35, of Duluth, Ga., out of prison less than two years following a bigamy sentence, was arrested in April on suspicion of agreeing to marry four more women. Owens said that maybe he “misunderstood” Mormon teachings. (2) Kylie Wilson, 28, was convicted in June in Brisbane, Australia, of stabbing her friend Daniel Blair because Blair literally would not stop masturbating in her home, where Wilson’s 3-yearold daughter was present. According to Wilson, Blair started his adventure in the bathroom and moved to the bedroom, ignoring Wilson’s pleas, until she grabbed a knife and stabbed him twice in the shoulder. Even then, the wounded Blair merely retreated to the garage, where he continued what a newspaper called his “marathon.”

Least Competent People

In July 2007, four would-be suicide bombers were convicted in London of a botched terrorist act that came two weeks after their more successful colleagues attacked trains and a bus in that city two years earlier. The second attack failed because the leader, Muktah Said Ibrahim (who was said to have flunked math in school) miscalculated the amount of ingredients, rendering the bombs useless. However, terror fighters make mistakes, too, as the U.S. Government Accountability Office revealed in July. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission had recently granted a license

Obsessions

John Moore, 67, golfs nearly every day and has for about 20 years, according to a July St. Petersburg Times report. The golf he plays, though, consists of hitting 35 long-iron shots (five shots with each of the seven balls he owns) on a grassy median strip along Interstate 275 in downtown Tampa. “You can’t play this game one day, two days in a week,” he said. “You have to play it all the time if you want to do something with it.” What Moore wants to do with it, he told the Times, is to someday soon make his first-ever appearance on an actual golf course.

Recurring Themes

Smoking Kills: David Pawlik called the fire department in Cleburne, Texas, in July to ask if the “blue flames” he and his wife were seeing every time she lit a cigarette were dangerous, and an inspector said he would be right over and for Mrs. Pawlik not to light another cigarette. However, anxious about the imminent inspection, she lit up and was killed in the subsequent explosion. (The home was all-electric, but there had been a natural gas leak underneath the yard.)

Cutting-Edge Research

Dr. Brady Barr, a reptile specialist with the National Geographic TV channel, needed to get close enough to Nile crocodiles in Tanzania (length: up to 20 feet) to attach data monitors to their tails and decided to dress up as a croc and crawl to them.

Mystery Solved

Week Ending July 27, 2007 the parasite is effective and costs only about $1.40 per hive, according to Higes.

A Spanish researcher says he has found the reason why massive numbers of bees have disappeared from hives across North America, Europe and parts of Argentina in recent months.

Mariano Higes, who heads a governmentfunded apiculture center in Guadalajara, says the culprit is a tiny parasite called nosema ceranae, which appears to have spread from Asia to hives in Europe and the Americas. Asian honeybees have more resistance to it, but the parasite can kill European bees within days. While Higes has not tested hives in the United States, he says his team has detected nosema ceranae across parts of Europe and eastern Canada where the sudden colony collapse disorder has killed massive numbers of bees. “We’ve no doubt at all it’s nosema ceranae, and we think 50 percent of Spanish hives are infected,” he told Reuters.

Look at that Turtle go, bro

Our readers’ choice for the Best Local Rock Band of 2007 pushes forward few months back, when our annuA al Readers’ Poll Issue hit the stands, many in the local music scene were sur-

Loco’s on Broughton St. serves as something of a home base for the band — which makes perfect sense, as that restaurant and bar has taken great pains to step up and fill the void left by the closing of Cagney’s. These days, the overwhelming majority of blues and boogie-based jambands, psychedelic groove acts and rootsy, organic rock groups that pass through Savannah are likely found at Loco’s.

Shanks says that having a supportive place for the band to build their local fanbase has played a key role in the evolution of Turtle Folk.

“We are extremely fortunate to play a venue like that where the staff and management enjoy the music that we enjoy playing.”

Joe says that this band and the downtown Loco’s are a great match for one another.

“We’re definitely not ruling out other Savannah venues, and we’re always open for new gigs. But Loco’s happens to be the most accommodating venue for us right now. We have a great relationship with them. They have a PA that goes well with our setup, they have a good size dance floor and it’s a venue that our fans enjoy.”

However, the group is ever mindful of not burning themselves out in this market.

That’s something plenty of local bands have yet to learn — which is why you’ll often see the same groups playing several nights a week to pay the bills, feed their egos, or both. Joe Pelliccione says the members have no desire to play often enough that their local fans would become so accustomed to seeing them live that they might begin to take the band for granted.

“We want to play Savannah around one or two times a month at most,” he explains.

“This allows us to keep our Savannah shows unique and interesting. We have been consistently playing in other cities and we feel like Savannah is our special ‘back home gig,’ that it’s always nice to come home to.”

Currently, the material played during the band’s live shows is split roughly evenly between their own compositions and cover versions of tunes by a wide variety of their favorite artists. When pressed for a rundown of some of the musicians whose music Turtle Folk interprets onstage, Joe replies, “We cover stuff by Waylon Jennings, John Prine, Neil Young, David Bowie, Wilco, Pink Floyd, Widespread Panic,

The Disco Biscuits, The Black Crowes, The Grateful Dead, Jethro Tull and Tom Petty, as well as a few more.”

McCormick adds that the band as a whole feels strongly that there’s little point in adding a cover tune to their repertoire unless they can “preserve the integrity of the song while playing it in (our) own style.”

That sense of agreement dovetails nicely with the democratic manner in which the members “run” the band.

“There is no one leader,” offers Joe. “We all work together and work as a group. We all have unspoken roles and try to communicate all opinions and ideas.”

Adds McCormick: “Everyone has input into the songwriting, and that spills over into the way we manage the band.”

When asked to describe the group’s long-term and short-term goals, several ideas come up among the members — such as tracking and releasing a full-length CD to complement their 5-song debut EP Yard Art (produced by local engineer and musician Shane Baldwin at his home studio), but according to Joe, one goal surpasses all others at the present.

“That’s to fully dedicate our time to Turtle Folk. Unfortunately, we have not been able to do this because of everyone’s schedules, but we are on the verge of freeing up the other obligations and responsibilities of individual members. When this goal is achieved, then we’ll see where we stand as a band.”

Shanks adds, “More and more opportunities keep opening up for us and, thus far, we’ve luckily been able to take advantage of them. But there comes a point when you have to say, ‘this is what we all want to do,’ and be willing to make sacrifices.”

For now, however, Turtle Folk is concentrating on what they already do well: playing live shows and pleasing themselves and their fans.

Says Joe, “We’re all close friends and have been for a long time. We’ve more or less taught each other how to play music and how to play as a group. This band is completely organic in our eyes and we really appreciate that.”

“Even though some of us have ‘side projects’ and other responsibilities, we have the time of our lives creating music with each other.” w Turtle Folk plays 9 pm Wednesday at Fid-

prised to see Turtle Folk named Best Local Rock Band.

That’s not because they’re not good at what they do. Far from it. However, the fact of the matter is that to date, the hardworking, dedicated, improv-heavy organic rock quintet has kept a fairly low profile.

They play regularly in town, but usually in a stripped-down, quasi-acoustic format (as some of the band’s members live several hours away), and although they have released one self-financed record, it is only available at their gigs and at one small record store on the Southside (Silly Mad CDs,which specializes in regional rootsrock and jam music).

Heck, as far as I know, this may be the first substantial article of any sort that’s been written about the group.

And yet, despite the fact that they primarily play at only two local venues —the downtown locations of both Loco’s and Fiddler’s— they walked away with a title most folks assumed would go to a more mainstream act, or at least one with a bit more hype surrounding them.

The fact that they received more votes than any other local artists in that category is a testament both to Turtle Folk’s growing, enthusiastic fanbase, and to the notion of grass-roots support in general.

Truth be told, word of their victory took some of the bandmembers themselves by surprise.

“We were shocked and happy, of course,” says lead guitarist and backing vocalist Joe Pelliccione.

“There are some great bands here from all different genres. We’re honored that we can be considered a major part of the music scene in Savannah.”

Fellow lead guitarist and vocalist Jamie Shanks agrees. “We all were pretty excited (to find out we’d won). It is a good feeling to get recognized for something that you love to do. It doesn’t happen too often.”

Shanks says that recognition of this sort may not have had a tremendous effect on their hometown following, but it is certainly a boost when it comes to securing gigs out of town in markets where the band is not widely known.

“It definitely went on the front page of the press kit,” he continues. “We have been getting a lot of gigs at new venues lately, and I would venture to say that the award has something to do with it. We also consider it a great compliment.”

For readers unfamiliar with Turtle Folk, a brief history of the band: The group evolved from the remnants of the now defunct high school project Wassaw Sound. That nascent, local jamoriented trio featured future Turtle Folk members Shanks and drummer Sean Pelliccione. Eventually, Sean and Shanks began to collaborate with Sean’s brother Joe in Atlanta, and started to compose their own original material. With the addition of percussionist Ross Sparks (whom some may remember for his stints in the Greg Williams Band, Voodoo Soup and the S.C. act Red Moon), a solid quartet was formed.

Then, during their first official Savannah gig at the now defunct JJ Cagney’s nightclub, they were joined onstage by guest vocalist Michael “Turtle” McCormick.

“Something just clicked,” says Sean, and by the Summer of 2004, they had added bassist Charlie Murray and brought McCormick on as a full member —adopting his college nickname as part of the band’s new handle.

Murray eventually left the group, and was replaced by bassist Zack Vogtner in September of last year. Since then, that five-piece lineup has been diligently working at crafting more original material, and expand the touring radius of the group — despite the fact that Turtle Folk is still essentially a part-time endeavour.

“Currently, we’re playing around four to five times a month on weekends and some occasional weekdays,” explains Joe. “But, considering that we’re all spread out and that everyone works, that’s (actually) a lot. We’ve played as far away as Tennessee and Alabama. We’ve also played in South Carolina. We consider ourselves a regional band right now that plays the majority of our gigs in Georgia.”

Vogtner is quick to add that even without the benefits of established management or record distribution, the group has already enjoyed a fair amount of success on the road, and is steadily breaking into new markets.

“Some notable venues we’ve played have been the Pour House in Charleston; Andrew’s Upstairs and Smith’s Olde Bar in Atlanta; The Mission in Augusta; and on River Street for the St. Patrick’s Day celebration.”

He also cites the group’s appearance with Perpetual Groove frontman Brock Butler at the after party for P-Groove’s recent Jolly Foundation charity benefit shows at the Historic Roundhouse as a memorable event in the band’s history.

| Interview by Jim Reed

‘It’s all about proper preparation’ Local performer Roger Moss helps singers reach their full potential it seems to be every young Itopncreasingly, person’s dream to become America’s next something or other.

For singers, dancers, actors, models, fashion designers or hairstylists, “reality television” has —of late— turned the ageold process of auditioning for a role, job or gig into an even more stylized version of the cutthroat competition it’s always been.

Roger Moss knows all about this type of competition. As an award-winning, classically-trained vocalist and thespian, he has had his fair share of critical and public acclaim both in the Savannah area and elsewhere, and yet despite the fact that many around these parts know his expressive face, booming and eloquent voice (and name), he still finds himself regularly asked to read for theatrical parts and sing for musical directors in the hopes of snagging a coveted role or vocal job.

“It’s funny,” says Moss. “I just had an audition in Hilton Head a week ago. You’re not gonna believe this, but the Hilton head Art Center is doing The Full Monty! I was shocked (laughs).”

So, how did he fare under the scrutiny?

“I won’t know for a few weeks, but it seemed to go extremely well. They’re an Equity house, so they’re holding additional casting calls in New York this week.”

Regardless of whether or not he nabs this particular role, Moss’ years of professional work in the performing arts (among other pursuits, he fronts his own cabaret jazz combo and directs the Savannah Children’s Choir) have led him ever so slowly into another part of show biz.

Moss has become a go-to guy in this part of the country for private coaching and personalized instruction on how to prepare for the audition process. It’s something he fell into, but increasingly —thanks to a fairly impressive track record— it’s taking up more of his time. Plus, with two open calls for American Idol contestants coming up in the next few weeks within a few hours’ drive of Savannah, Moss is finding that more aspiring talent than ever before is curious about how to give themselves an edge over the others in line.

“About three years ago, Chelsea came to me in advance of trying out for Making the Band with P. Diddy, or whatever his name is now (laughs). She got on the show and did pretty well! My name got passed around in certain circles, and eventually I worked with Stephanie Edwards in preparation for American Idol auditions, and we all know how that turned out. When I heard there would

be two calls so close by, I wanted to make sure Savannah would be well represented (laughs)!”

Moss says his sessions are uniquely tailored to fit each specific individual, and that he’ss been encouraged by the progress that many of his students have made.

“If you had seen some of these people before, to see them after... I have a 21-yearold guy who has an amazing old-school soul voice. He sounds just like Donny Hathaway. He lives in Atlanta and flies in to work with me. I also work with kids to help them get ready for school play auditions.

In fact, one girl I’ve been working with since she was a freshman has gotten the lead in every show she’s been up for! It’s because she knows how to properly audition.

It’s all about proper preparation.”

“I’m not like a lot of other vocal teachers. I’m not gonna push classical music on them if they aren’t interested.

I’ll help them to learn how to protect their voice, get the most out of it, and how to ‘sell’ a song.”

However, even if you have no interest in being America’s Next Top Anything, Moss says you may still benefit from his help.

“I primarily work with young people, but I have had some older kids and adults who want to work on their acting or presentation. A lot of the same techniques apply to public speaking as well.”

With these two major Idol calls coming up soon (the 14th of this month in Atlanta and the 18th in Charleston), Moss encourages anyone interested in prepping themselves to get started right away.

But have no fear that this enthusiastic instructor will string you along if he thinks you don’t have the potential to do well.

“We’ll do an introductory session, and a lot of it depends on whether they want to be a singer or a star. I make no judgement on either, and they’re not mutually exclusive. If you wanna be a star, I can help.

If you wanna be a singer, I can definitely help — but let’s be honest with each other.”

There is however one piece of advice that Moss will offer for free to anyone: “Be yourself. Don’t try to be Beyoncé or Usher. Find your own voice.” w For more information on Roger Moss’ private audition tutoring, e-mail: Roger2sing@yahoo. com or call 667-

| Connect Recommends by Jim Reed

The Doug Carn Quartet

This “musician’s musician” is a stellar keyboardist who specializes in the swirling, soulful sounds of the Hammond organ. Known to many jazzbos as one of the leading artists on the small but visionary Black Jazz label in the ‘70s, his profile has dimmed a bit since then, but he remains a potent improviser who occasionally gigs at well-known rooms in NYC as well as abroad. Carn made his home in Savannah for many years, and his infrequent local shows since relocating to Fla. are always worth catching not only for his own musical (and sometimes vocal) talents, but for the high caliber of players he can be counted on to enlist in backing him up. $10 cover at the door. Fri. - Sat., 8 pm, 9:30 pm, 11 pm.

The Dropkick Murphys

Formed in 1996 in the basement of a Boston barbershop, this Celtic-tinged hardcore band quickly found a large following and has gone on to release two handfuls of albums EPs and singles — becoming a major international touring act along the way. They’ve mellowed a bit over time, but still appeal strongly to those who follow hardcore, ska, and —specifically— Irish-themed punk. For this show, they’ll be joined by support acts The Aggrolites (an L.A.-based retro/nouveau ska/reggae act that plays down their punk roots in favor of revisiting the soulful dance vibes

of early Bluebeat) and The Krays (a highly respected ultra-indie NYC oi! punk trio affiliated with Roger Miret & The Disasters). Advance tickets on sale now at the venue. Mon., 8 pm, Malone’s.

Elevado

This last-minute booking deserved more of a mention, but notification came too close to our press time. Suffice it to say that this Athens-based avant-dance-rock act is one of the more challenging acts to emerge from that fabled music scene in years. Their distorted, noisy approach and vocals echo the darker and more chaotic moments of Joy Division, while the insistent, pounding poly-rhythms remind me of Shriekback. Moresight and locals Kiterunner open the show.

Wed., 9 pm, Guitar Bar.

Jack Williams

One of the most sought-after singer/ songwriter/storytellers on the road today, this S.C. native has dazzled audiences at many of the most prestigious listening rooms and folk festivals for over 4 decades with his expert musicianship and finelyhoned skills as an entertainer. Opting to tour “under the radar” as he calls it, he can be found in small venues, house concerts and large outdoor gigs year-round. The respected alt.country mag No Depression

Top: Dropkick Murphys Left: Jack Williams

pegged him accurately as combining the folk tradition with the meticulous, sparse song craft of Tin Pan Alley and the passionate delivery of the great old bluesmen. Seemingly, this eclectic journeyman has done it all: from playing classical lute in a Renaissance ensemble, to pedal steel in a country band, to electric guitar with everyone from John Lee Hooker to Big Joe Turner.

He even recorded a duo LP in ‘73 with the late Harry Nilsson (which remains largely unheard due to record company difficulties. Often compared to Ry Cooder in his breadth and approach, Mickey Newbury called Jack and his songs “American treasures,” and Peter Yarrow (of Peter Paul

& Mary) branded him “the best guitar player I ever heard.” Call 748-1930 for $20 advance tickets to this intimate 100-seat performance. Sat., 8 pm, Randy Wood’s Concert Hall (1304 E. Hwy 80, Bloomingdale) - ALL-AGES.

Jon Doe

It’s gratifying to see some decent regional acts getting back into the old-school building blocks of modern hip-hop. This area R & B/rock cover act has come into their own, and if you dig rollicking, indulgent, greasy funk of the George Clinton and Ohio Players variety, you’ll dig Jon Doe’s sinewy lead guitarwork and vocal interplay. The added bonus of lowdown slap bass and both a trap drummer and a percussionist means they have most of the

pact of art and science on Savannah in an interesting way.

For that was the moment of the recent earth quake whose epicenter was at Kashiwazaki, Japan, not many miles from the seismic sensor station at Matsushiro.

Visitors to “The Pulse of the Earth” must enter an almost completely dark space, and when the eyes adjust, they can find their way to the center and enter an enclosure created from hanging panels of white transparent cloth. Here it is possible to sit on a box and be at the intersection of the map coordinates of the Pei Ling Chan gallery space; the lines of latitude and longitude stretch outwards from the box across the floor of the gallery. Visitors then realize that they are at the center of circulating sound, accompanied by the flickering of single light bulbs.

Exploring the rest of the space, they find five points, each marked by a pole set in a rock and bearing the name of a seismic sensor station - Limon Verde, Chile; Quongzhong, China; Matsushiro, Japan; Yakutsk, Russia and the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador. Lorella Abenavoli has created an installation in which she has translated the vibrations under the earth’s surface, into a sound and light pattern, a language for the human senses.

For the seismologist, the signals have a purposeful and narrow meaning. They detect the movements and shifts of the earth’s interior in order to predict an earthquake.

The artist who takes that information may not be able to forecast, but she has transformed this language of science into the language of art. Through her installation we can see the earth, not as merely inert matter waiting for man’s constructions or providing him with useful plants.

We are forced to consider what its interior might be like. I suggest the visitor at this point go back to the box and sit down to quietly experience the poetic revelation that the earth is a living and breathing organism, with a heart, lungs.

You may be humbled by such a realization. There is beauty and poetry here, an immense idea simply and affectingly accomplished.

Since the 18th century, art and science have been considered separate disciplines, much to the detriment of both. Lately there is an awareness of this fact; science has become less mechanistic and more aesthetic while art has become more conceptual.

Born in Paris in 1966, Abenavoli studied art in France in an interdisciplinary curriculum that combined art and science.

Besides this installation, created along with geophysicists and computer and acoustic engineers, she has collaborated on installations with a vegetal biologist and with a choreographer. In order to transmute the pulsing of the earth’s interior to a form she could use, Abenavoli made her own computer software, “SdT”, (Earth Sound).

Paul Virilio, theorist of technology, said that artists and architects should create their own software if they want to master contemporary technology, instead of working on programs they have been sold, and probably don’t understand. Here Abenavoli proves she is the master of her complex work of art.

I have often suggested that the art community in Savannah would benefit enormously from visiting artists from abroad.

And this exhibition proves that point. I hope there are similar exhibitions planned for the future. w Pei Ling Chan Gallery is at 324 MLK Jr. Blvd.

As a last ditch effort, eight men and women board the spaceship Icarus II and head upward, carrying a bomb that, once dropped into the heart of the sun, should theoretically revive it. But as they travel to complete their mission, they receive a distress signal from Icarus I, which had disappeared seven years earlier while trying to accomplish a similar mission.

The Simpsons Movie

1/2

The problem with a good comedy -and make no mistake, The Simpsons Movie is a very good comedy -- is that it’s hard for even the tightlipped among us not to want to rush out and share many of the best gags with our friends. But boy, are there some real winners in this animated feature, ones that will be appreciated by folks who can’t even distinguish a Marge from a Maggie, or a Flanders from a Smithers, or an Itchy from a Scratchy. Take, for instance, a brilliant bit -- choreographed with all the precision of a Gene Kelly musical -- that finds Bart skateboarding naked through the streets of Springfield. Or a Titanic parody involving a hot band. Or a marvelous jab at the inefficiency of this nation’s so-called Homeland Security measures. Or... You get the picture. Crafting a motion picture

year’s The Fountain, the likewise leisurely paced Sunshine employs dazzling visual effects in the service of an ambitious and heady undertaking whose philosophical reach attempts to exceed its narrative grasp. That director Danny Boyle and scripter Alex Garland don’t completely follow through on presenting a spaced out odyssey is evidenced by the introduction of an additional character during the third act (no fair revealing who, what or why). This decision to take the story out of the realm of the ethereal and into the physical doesn’t damage this captivating film, but it does prevent it from achieving a cinematic state

“Bourne Ultimatium” Hot Rod*

from a current television series that’s been around for nearly two decades is a dicey proposition, but The Simpsons Movie fills the larger dimensions of the theater screen quite nicely. Running the length of four combined episodes, this flick takes Homer’s weekly display of idiocy to a new level, as his bumbling disrespect for the environment leads to Springfield being blocked off from the rest of the world by a giant dome, with the town’s destruction the ultimate goal of the overzealous head of the Environmental Protection Agency (voiced

by Albert Brooks, billed in the credits as “A. Brooks”). Knowing that Homer is the culprit, the town’s residents soon come acalling with torches in hand and nooses hanging from nearby trees (baby Maggie’s rope has a little pacifier attached). But if there’s one area in which Hollywood remains blissfully, even blessedly, optimistic, it’s in the strength of the family unit, and as long as Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Mag-

gie stick together, they can lick any and all odds.

Movie-star wattage counts for a lot in No Reservations, and both Catherine ZetaJones and Aaron Eckhart burn brightly, both individually and in their shared scenes. She’s Kate, a workaholic chef whose life gets upturned when her sister’s fatal car crash leaves her in charge of her precocious niece Zoe (Little Miss Sunshine’s Abigail Breslin). He’s Nick, a sous chef who takes a position under Kate at a posh restaurant and quickly finds himself drawn to this tempestuous woman who considers herself the finest chef in all of New York and physically confronts customers who dare complain about her dishes. A frothy confection on the surface, No Reservations, based on the 2001 German film Mostly Martha, spends a great deal of time on the painful

loss experienced by Zoe as she comes to grips with the death of her mother. Mostly, though, the movie functions as a charming romantic comedy, one bolstered by the crisp camerawork by Stuart Dryburgh (The Piano) and especially the richly textured music by Philip Glass, whose score is so grandiose and award-worthy that it occasionally threatens to overwhelm the small picture it’s serving.

Rescue Dawn1/2

With apologies to William Shakespeare, when acclaimed director Werner Herzog makes a movie, there generally isn’t a method to his madness; instead, there’s madness in his method, a go-for-broke intensity that has informed most of this German maverick’s pictures, from his classics Aguirre: The Wrath of God and Fitzcarraldo to his recent (and excellent) documentary Grizzly Man. That aggressive (insane?) edge is nowhere to be found in Rescue Dawn, a fairly conventional if technically accomplished drama inspired by a true story. Dieter Dengler (played by Christian Bale) is a gung-ho U.S. navy pilot who, early in this country’s involvement in the Vietnam War, is shot down over Laos and held in a makeshift POW camp along with two other Americans (Steve Zahn and Jeremy Davies, the latter basically revisiting his Solaris performance). Dieter couldn’t care less that no one has ever escaped from this prison, or that the jungle beyond the compound walls represents the real prison.

There are no political allegories or points of view, no fancy special effects, and, except during a curiously flat conclusion, no displays of sentimental excess. This is simply a movie about a man at odds with his surroundings, and in that respect, it fits nicely into the Herzog oeuvre.

License to Wed 

Mandy Moore has managed to costar in the two worst films of 2007 (thus far), yet let’s not be in a hurry to pick up those stones and torches. Truth be told, Moore is turning out to be a welcome screen presence -- far better than most recent singersturned-actors -- and she’s hardly to blame for either the rancid Because I Said So or

the toxic-waste comedy License to Wed. The heir presumptive to last summer’s You, Me and Dupree, this new film, offensive in its idiocy, similarly places loathsome characters in absurd situations that are meant to give off a funky black-comedy vibe yet instead reek only of desperation as well as the limitations of comically challenged minds. Under the disinterested supervision of director Ken Kwapis, four writers jerryrig a premise that finds newly engaged couple Ben Murphy (John Krasinski) and Sadie Jones (Moore) forced to pass a marriage preparation course supervised by the Jones family’s longtime minister, Reverend Frank (Robin Williams). Along the way, Reverend Frank, aided by his young apprentice (Josh Flitter, as annoying here as he was in Nancy Drew), bugs the couple’s bedroom, embarrasses Ben in front of his future in-laws, and drives Sadie away from her fiance. Robin Williams is in his manic, whoring mode here, an approach well past its expiration date in terms of actually resembling anything funny or topical.

Live Free or Die Hard 1/2

For whatever reason -- fat paycheck, wavering career, poor choice of available roles -- Bruce Willis has elected to return to his signature role as John McClane, and the end result is better than most yearsafter-the-fact sequels (Rocky Balboa, The Evening Star, Crocodile Dundee In Los Angeles). The twist here is that aging detective McClane, an old-fashioned guy used to 20th century modes of expression and ideas, finds himself battling cyber-terrorists who threaten to shut down the entire United States with a few strokes of a keyboard. The movie’s billing itself as the story of an “analog” cop living in a “digital” age, and we all know what that means. No mouse pads or monitors for our hero; instead, it’s all flying fists, rapid-fire weaponry and explosions. Lots of explosions. Yet even director Len Wiseman and scripter Mark Bomback don’t have complete faith in the cop’s old-fashioned heroics since they saddle him with a sidekick who’s a genius when it comes to computers.

those ubiquitous Apple commercials) is a Neo-inspired hacker who inadvertently helps the villain (an effective Timothy Olyphant) and his posse carry out their master plans. Marked for termination, Matt is only able to escape his would-be assassins with McClane’s help. An overlong running time allows matters to occasionally become stale (the blueprint calls for our protagonists to evade, fight, escape, repeat), although Willis does his part by tossing out those patented McClane quips with aplomb. And while there’s no denying that the picture is packed with memorable action sequences, the film often collapses into a heap of silliness, with McClane surviving some encounters that would tax all sorts of leaps of logic.

Ratatouille 1/2

Cinema has given us so many marvelous movies set around the kitchen that it’s easy to lose count among the tantalizing dishes laid out on display. But onto a long list that includes Babette’s Feast, Eat Drink Man Woman, and Like Water for Chocolate, I never expected to add an animated yarn about a culinary rat. Ratatouille is the latest winner from Pixar, the animation outfit whose win-loss ratio has still managed to equal that of the ‘72 Miami Dolphins.

Here, a dreamy rat who tries to get along with his more conventional family while also attempting the impossible (and the taboo) by forging a friendship with a human.

The rat is Remy (voiced by Patton Oswalt), whose skills in the kitchen are exemplary, and the human is Linguini (Lou Romano), a skinny lad who possesses none of his late father’s superb culinary abilities. Since restaurant kitchens aren’t exactly rodentfriendly, and since circumstances force the singularly untalented Linguini to pass himself off as a master chef, the pair pool their resources to return a once-great Paris eatery, now struggling following the publication of a disastrous review by food critic

Anton Ego (Peter O’Toole), back to its lofty position as one of France’s finest.

Transformers 

A movie about robots that turn into cars (and trucks and tanks and airplanes) would seem to have a more limited fan base than many other blockbuster wannabes, and the presence of Michael Bay (Armageddon, Pearl Harbor) as director certainly puts critics on alert. Yet perhaps the secret ingredient here is in the producing credits. Instead of Bay’s usual partner in crime, Jerry Bruckheimer, it’s Steven Spielberg who snags an executive producer citation, so it can’t be a coincidence that in its finest moments -- most contained within the first half of this 145-minute yarn -- this picture harkens back to the sort of filmic roller coaster rides that Spielberg often built during the 80s. What makes the initial hour-and-change so enjoyable is the expository material that former Alias scripters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman bring to the table. After quickly explaining that two sets of intergalactic robots -- the heroic Autobots and the nefarious Decepticons -- have brought their battle to our planet, we’re introduced to characters who will eventually gather to help the good ‘bots defeat the evil ones. Chief among the human protagonists is Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf), a teenager who’s so busy wooing a lovely classmate (Megan Fox) that he’s slow to realize that there’s more than meets the eye about his new Camaro. Meanwhile, in Qatar, two members (Tyrese Gibson and Josh Duhamel) of an army outfit find themselves trying to stay alive from the metallic menace that has wiped out their base. And the U.S. Secretary of Defense (Jon Voight) tries to figure out what’s going on with the help of a computer analyst (Rachael Taylor) and her “advisor,” a computer hacker (Anthony Anderson). Bolstered by ample amounts of humor and more character-driven than expected, Transformers

forceful performance by series lead Daniel Radcliffe. Between the last film (Goblet of Fire) and this new one, it’s startling to note how the actor and the character seem to have aged multiple years, a testament to the maturity and intensity that Radcliffe brings to the role. Villainy abounds in The Order of the Phoenix, with Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) haunting Harry’s every move, a fluttering fascist named Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton) taking over the Hogwarts school, and an escaped prisoner known as Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter) arriving late to kill off a popular character. Add to those threats Harry’s issues of abandonment and estrangement, and it’s no wonder the lad can’t keep those roiling emotions in check.

In this respect, Phoenix operates not only as a story-specific fantasy flick but also as a universal teen angst tale, a far-flung Rebel Without a Cause in which the protagonist tries to comprehend the adult world he’s on the verge of entering while simultaneously struggling to cut the umbilical cord of childhood. Because of this slant, this emerges as the most dramatic of the five films to date, with betrayals coming from both memories (a flashback involving Harry’s dad and professor Severus Snape, again played by Alan Rickman, is startling in its implications) and mortals (Judas, must you betray me with a kiss?) only serving to drive the nail into Harry’s splintered psyche even deeper. Fortunately, Harry’s friends won’t leave him alone -- even when he’s surly toward them -- and he receives a much-needed support system from best buds Ron Weasley (Grint) and Hermione Granger (Watson) as well as a seemingly spacy blonde named Luna Lovegood (newcomer Evanna Lynch, wonderfully embodying the most interesting of the new characters).

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Would you like to shed your soul’s baby fat without having to go on a diet? Do you want to supercharge your immune system, improve your memory for the events that really matter, and build the spiritual power of your sexual feelings?

Are you interested in postponing forehead wrinkles, getting glimpses of your beautiful future, and diminishing your fascination with the media’s nihilism? The secrets to pulling off these possibilities will be more available to you than ever before in the coming weeks.

And what’s the best way to ensure you’ll gather them in? Open your heart. I mean *really* open your heart — with a relentlessly tender intensity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): For a limited time only, you have cosmic permission to suck your thumb and drool freely and murmur “gaga” over and over again. More than that: You have a poetic license to spend expansive periods rocking back and forth while curled into the fetal position, either under the covers or on the beach, while singing little made-up songs about everything you love. The moment has arrived, in other words, to give yourself permission to melt into a pool of primal goo as you commune with the music of the spheres and tune in to the hymn of your deepest longings.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): My Gemini friend Risa is brilliant and sophisticated. She speaks four languages fluently, and is one of the few people I’ve met who understands the theory of relativity. So then why is she fascinated with bad reality TV shows like “The Girls Next Door,” which follows the lives of Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends? How could she possibly enjoy monster truck rallies, which she attends now and then? What purpose is there in her encyclopedic knowledge of the toys favored by children in Kazakhstan, the diets of German racehorses, and the clubs of Chinese women devoted to reproducing antique European lace doilies?

that for many Geminis, *everything* is potentially interesting, even information other people regard as trivial.

It’s all raw data to be used in the infinitely fun game of playing with ideas. And that has never been a more apt description of your tribe than it is now.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “I tell young people that the greatest paintings in museums are made with minerals mixed in oil smeared on cloth with the hair from the back of a pig’s ear,” says artist James Rosenquist. I hope that thought incites you to achieve pragmatic breakthroughs in the coming weeks, Cancerian.

It’s time to play in the mud and risk making a mess, if necessary, in order to translate your beautiful visions into earthy realities.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Barbara Sher’s self-help tome is called *I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was: How to Discover What You Really Want and How to Get It.* In one sense it’s designed for beginners — young people who are just learning how to identify meaningful goals to pursue. But in my opinion, every one of us periodically needs to revisit the mode described in the book’s title. For instance, maybe you’ve accomplished a dream you’ve worked on for months or years, and require a jumpstart as you seek your next big project. Or maybe some desire that motivated you for a long time has faded in its intensity, and you’re feeling blah and apathetic, in need of redirection. Does any of this apply to you, Leo? I bet it does.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The modern war between science and spirituality seems laughable in light of the life of Sir Isaac Newton. His discoveries in the realms of physics, mathematics, and astronomy were so seminal and so numerous that he’s regarded as the most influential scientist in history. Many refer to him as the greatest genius who ever lived. And yet Newton’s central passions were alchemy and the Bible, about which he wrote millions of words, far more than what he devoted

to his scientific interests. “Gravity explains the motions of the planets,” he wrote, “but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion. God governs all things and knows all that is or can be done.” I suggest you make Newton your role model, Virgo. It’s a favorable time to forge a new spirit of cooperation between the two parts of your psyche — let’s call them the rational and the transcendent — which so many of today’s thinkers have told you cannot possibly co-exist.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I’d love to see you call your own bluff and blow your own cover. I’m hoping you’ll stop hiding your assets and keeping so many secrets. And I really, really wish you would come out of the closet not just about your unique gender identity, but also about the other idiosyncratic twists and turns that make you who you are. Please stop being afraid of revealing your beauty, Libra — even the work-inprogress aspects of your beauty. It’s time to close the gap between the real you and the images people have of you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): [Editor’s note: To prepare this horoscope, I stole some of the lyrics from Yoko Ono’s song “Revelations” and added some words of my own.] Bless you for your anger, Scorpio. It’s a sign of zeal. If you transform it into creative fire, it will transmute your relationship with any situation you’re angry about. Bless you for your greed. It’s a sign of great capacity. Honor the law of karma by giving as much as you want to get, and your greed will drive you to grow generous. Bless you for your jealousy. It’s a sign of immature empathy. Ripen it into admiration and what you admire will become an inspiring part of your life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your astrological omens are similar to those experienced by Oscarwinning actress Judi Dench back in February 2002. At that time, she was moved to make a dramatic revelation to film mogul Harvey Weinstein. In the midst of a party, she pulled down her pants to reveal her naked ass,

revealing a temporary lipstick tattoo that read “I love Harvey Weinstein.” I’m guessing you might be inspired to unveil a comparable surprise in the coming days, Sagittarius. At the very least, I expect you’ll find some intriguing ways to express your affection and demonstrate your ardor.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Here are a few of the improvements I expect you to have accomplished by the end of August: a panoramic view of what’s beneath the tip of the iceberg; a more useful relationship with obsession; the cutting of a knot that has tied you up for far too long; the resurrection of a seemingly extinct dream; the beginning of the end of what you love to hate; and hot discussions about the Three Things That Have Rarely or Never Been Talked About.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s the Season of Burning, Churning Yearning. Here are three of the most important things I’ve ever told you about how to get what you need. (1) If you don’t precisely articulate your conscious desires, your unconscious patterns will come true instead. (2) If you want your conscious desires to trump your unconscious patterns, speak or write your conscious desires every day. (3) It’s better to have three huge, soaring, potent desires than 25 puny, scrabbling, half-assed desires.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Ron is down to six cups of coffee a day, which is much healthier than his previous 15-cup habit. We, his friends, might wish it wasn’t because he joined an ascetic cult that wants him to get into top physical shape in order to fight the evil reptilian extraterrestrials that have taken over the bodies of corporate and governmental leaders. But hey, whatever works. Likewise, Pisces, this is a favorable time for you to resort to just about any legal measure in order to break the grip of your bad habits — even if that involves substituting some rather exotic new habits for the ones you need to eliminate.
