It’s not just a piece of paper Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.

— Thomas Jefferson

At no time in living memory have those words from the Declaration of Independence been more appropriate.

Indeed, if the great Virginian and his colleagues were alive to see what’s become of their grand gamble — for which thousands fought and died in a brutal, ten-year war — they’d wonder why the designers of America’s current despair were not tarred and feathered long ago. They’d no doubt be amazed at the fact that in their day, a revolution began over far less egregious offenses than those our government subjects us to today.

As you, the American taxpayer, are told you now must pay a trillion dollars to bail out greedy Wall Street bankers — on top of the trillion dollars in debt George W. Bush has already left you, your children, and your grandchildren — you might want to take Jefferson’s words to heart.

As you contemplate the profound injustice in the irresponsible being rewarded for their poor judgment, while you work harder and harder for less and less money and pay higher and higher health premiums for less and less coverage — reflect on what Jefferson wrote.

As you see the dollar drop lower and lower as the price at the pump goes higher and higher, remember Jefferson’s earth-shattering words.

Or, hey, you could just go read them for yourself, in their original state.

This weekend Savannah has a literally oncein-a-lifetime opportunity to view one of the only remaining original copies of our nation’s founding document.

You can see it for free this Saturday from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Massie Heritage Center, 207 E. Gordon St. In addition to the immortal document itself, there will be spoken-word performances, refreshments, a reader’s theatre,

and voter registration.

(For a great look at local early voting, see Robin Wright Gunn’s column this week).

This remarkable happening is a part of the “Declare Yourself ” tour, a voter registration outreach effort founded by legendary TV producer Norman Lear, who purchased this copy, one of only 25 surviving broadsides printed on the night of July 4, 1776, by John Dunlap.

See you there, and remember to bring your torch and pitchfork.

We may as well have fun as our world crumples around us, right? That’s one thing we definitely have going for us in Savannah: fun, and lots of it.

This week we roll our big Fall Arts Preview issue, with a look at the goings-on in visual and performing arts, festivals, and notable concerts. While a few things probably slipped through the cracks, the listings are pretty close to comprehensive. My apologies in advance if we missed something. Just e-mail me and we’ll update our listings.

Note that the Preview is divided by type of art form, i.e., visual arts, dance, festivals, etc.

Within their respective genres, the listings are in rough chronological order.

You’ll notice the Jazz Festival isn’t listed in our Fall Arts coverage. That’s for two reasons: One, because it concludes this weekend; and two, we actually have two fine features on the Festival this week, both written by Music Editor Jim Reed. cs

Editor, Regarding Chuck Shepherd’s Sept. 9 “News of the Weird”: There is a lot of tort reform propaganda insinuated into this article. I have volunteered for a consumer organization for going on eight years. I have seen the reality of civil cases, as opposed to spin.

Do you know that many of the “cases” tort reformers use to illustrate their points are made-up or exaggerated?

Do you know that the courts have rules that keep out frivolous suits and that actual frivolous suits

make up less than one percent of all cases filed?

Or that corporations, not ordinary citizens, file a disproportionately large percent of all lawsuits?

Or that many states don’t allow recovery of all your damages, such as legal fees?

Are people aware that even if you win, you may never collect your award?

Discrediting anyone who has mold in their house is a prime example. I’m not talking about mold in a shower that calls for cleaning; that’s an industry (tort reform) spin to distract the reader from the real point.

I’m talking about construction defects, for example, that lead to

water leaking inside walls, where it can grow unchecked and unnoticed for months or years, and destroy the materials the house is made of. (Expensive!) All the while the homeowners may be sick and not even know why.

Few doctors are qualified to diagnose these diseases. Much info on mold illnesses is suppressed by wealthy industry interests who don’t want to pay for it, (builders, insurance industry, etc).

Veterinarians seem more able to admit it’s real, but for some reason if a person is made ill, or their new house rots, because of a bad builder, they’re “litigious.”

Just try getting a builder to take responsibility without having to

sue him. Of course if the contracts or warranty include an “arbitration” clause, the homeowner isn’t allowed to sue. (Rare exceptions exist.)

All this poking fun at people with legal problems sounds great to the uninformed — until you’re the one with the problem, and you find out how difficult and expensive it is to try and recover damages from a responsible party.

By the way, how about some “personal responsibility” for the corporations that build shoddy houses?

Republicans should own their failure Editor, In George Bush’s “Ownership Society,” why is it that the Republicans won’t own up to the mistakes of the last eight years?

Sorry, that’s not really fair: The party of the red states has held the office of president for 20 of the last 30 years and they’ve had control of congress even longer!

Judging from Republican successes over the years as well as the reaction to Sarah Palin, real Americans love “Tough Talk.”

What the Republicans have actually been providing is Tough Talk-Bad Strategy. If the Republicans had been required to provide truth in packaging would we have just thrown away the package?

Prominent Republicans have been telling us our economy is basically sound and anyone who disagrees is just a whiner. I forget who’s been saying these things but one of them (oh, what’s his name?) is running for president!

As a good friend from San Antonio said recently, “After you have been beaten on the head for the last eight years you would think folks would eventually ask who is holding the bat.”

Take the time to care Editor, I recently was working out at a local gym here in town and saw one of the custodial staff members looking at something while I finished my last set of lunges. Whatever this guy was looking at gave me enough curiosity to stop in the middle of my exercise and take notice.

By the time I walked over to see what the custodian was looking at he had moved on. Then I saw it jump a few inches, a small frog, no bigger than my thumbnail. I am not sure how the little guy got inside the gym, but I immediately picked the frog up and carried it out through the hallway and lobby and placed it outside in the bushes.

I am not sharing this story to seem more heroic than I really am. I am bothered that there are people out there

who cannot take a minute and save an animal’s life. It was a very easy thing to do.

I was infuriated with the employee’s lack of care for something smaller than himself. I am very fortunate to have been raised within a family that values animals and nature.

I am not a hardcore environmentalist, but I realize humans have encroached on nature’s doorstep for much too long. In my opinion, the gym belonged to the frog. The frog is just letting us use the land and space for the time being.

About a week later I came home from a dog walk and was taking the leash off of my dog and noticed a frog had gotten into my house. That night I tried looking for the frog and could not see where it had gone.

I am hoping it got out somehow, but doubt it. I am sure one day while vacuuming and cleaning my place I will find it’s shriveled body decomposing.

I guess you can’t save them all, but you can try.

Early Voting update After learning that Early Voting for the Nov. 4 general election started this week, I woke up Monday morning intending to add a stop at the Eisenhower Drive Voter Registration Office to my list of the day’s errands.

This election is the first to operate under new, less restrictive Early Voting rules, says Randolph Bridges, Assistant Director of Voter Registration for Chatham County, the office that handles early voting. During the 2008 legislative session, the Georgia legislature passed Senate Bill 387, allowing registered voters to cast their ballots early without giving any reason for doing so.

Early Voting gave me hope that soon I would be finished with the email nuttiness that is swirling around the presidential election this year.

Each day my inbox receives a smattering of e-mails from people I know supporting both sides of the race.

Photoshopped photos and fuzzy facts, candidate quotes taken out of context, distorted reports on candidates’ actions in prior office or employment, and the completely irrelevant fashion bashing.

I don’t care what kind of lapel pin or hairstyle our leaders are sporting, thank you very much.

Earlier this month I replied to two of these emails—one on each side of the political fence. Each email I received contained egregiously inaccurate information, describing actions of the sender’s opposing candidate, and it seemed wrong to allow the bad data to go forward without rebuttal.

In each case, someone wrote back that even if the original information wasn’t true, it’s the sort of behavior that the “wrong” candidate probably would exhibit, so the misinformation really didn’t matter. That’s “logic” that seems beyond rebuttal.

So, this past Monday, I considered that perhaps the best way to kill the spam would be to send a blanket response: I’ve already voted.

Then I remembered that, in addition to the bid for president, a few other races are being decided in the November general election. Am I prepared today to be an informed voter on all these contests? Not even close.

In Chatham County 48 public offices are up for grabs this year in addition to the presidential race—from U.S. Senate

to the County Surveyor. There’s also a special election for school board District 2 and three proposed amendments to Georgia’s constitution.

Many races are specific to certain districts, some were decided in the partisan primaries held this summer, and several incumbents are unopposed.

Even with these factors narrowing the field, I’m still left with a lot of homework to do, if I’m going to make an educated choice in each race.

I’m concerned about utility bills and public transportation, yet I have no idea whom I’m supporting for vacant Public Service Commission seats.

Crime continues to seep through our community like a poison, yet I’ve paid little attention so far to the 16 different judgeship races that range from the local Recorder’s Court to the State Supreme Court.

Those constitutional amendments all have to do with taxes, but I haven’t yet tried to decipher their meanings or potential impacts.

Homework help is close at hand from the Chatham County Elections Board.

This week, sample ballots will be online for voters to review, with information specific to each voter precinct, and will also be available at the Eisenhower Drive Elections office, next door to Voter Registration.

“They’re normally done well in advance, but the lateness of the conventions compressed the time frame this year,” says Russell Bridges, Chatham County Elections Supervisor. He noted that the Secretary of State’s office sent out the wording of the three proposed constitutional amendments late Friday afternoon for inclusion on the sample ballot beginning this week.

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

Free Fallin’

At least 15 manhole covers have been stolen recently. While these are the first reports of such thefts in Savannah, other cities report manhole covers being stolen and sold at salvage depots.

This is a significant safety issue for motorists, pedestrians and especially young children who may run into the street and fall down an uncovered manhole.

The first four manholes were taken over the weekend of Sept. 13-14 from Al Henderson Boulevard. On Sept. 15, a report of a missing manhole cover along Glen Oaks Drive in Brandlewood was received

by Sewer Maintenance, and on Sept. 16 a report was made of 10 manhole covers that had been stolen along Shady Grove Lane in the Canebrake Village subdivision.

Local salvage centers have been asked not to accept manhole covers. Police ask that anyone with information about the

thefts contact CrimeStoppers at 234-2020.

Persons who see a missing manhole cover or an open manhole should call 3-1-1.

• A Hall Street resident was startled when he received his water bill and noticed that there not only was a late charge, but that his payment from the last month was overdue. When he called his bank, he was told that the city water company never cashed the check. However, it was cashed at a liquor store.

The man called police and provided the officer who arrived with the check date and number, plus an image of the check, showing it had been cashed at the liquor store.

When asked how someone could have obtained the check, the man said he mailed it, leaving it in his mail box so the postal carrier would pick it up.

Later in the day, the man called police again to report that a second check had been stolen from his mailbox and cashed.

That check was made out to a local doctor’s office.

• A woman told police she paid a man $10 for a ride to Thunderbolt from her home in Savannah. At the corner of

Skidaway Road and East 37th Street, the man began punching her for no reason. The woman was covered in blood and the officer observed a cut by her left eye and a broken tooth. The woman said her boyfriend tried to get the man off her. The two men left the scene in a truck was that later found at a convenience store.

The suspect told police that the woman had jumped on him while he was driving.

The officer observed that the man had small cuts on his cheeks.

• A St. Catherine Road resident told police she was having problems with her neighbors. She said in the past the ongoing problems have included the neighbors’ children, their dogs and, most recently, with trash that they threw in her yard during the night. She said she and her children, ages 8 and 11, left the house to go get takeout, and as they passed the neighbors house, one man shouted at her, “Hi, sexy,” and his brother yelled, “Hi, bitch.”

• Police were called to a Waters Avenue restaurant on a robbery.

The owner said he was locking up and planning to go to the bank when the suspect walked up from behind and demanded that the man not lock the door and to give him the bank bags. The suspect began to lift the man’s shirt, then ran from the scene.

The owner said he didn’t recognize the man, didn’t see a weapon, and wasn’t hurt.

He said he went inside and advised the general manager about the robbery and asked him to call 911. A witness was returning from the dumpster when he saw the suspect running through the parking lot. The witness said that when he first arrived for work that day, he saw the suspect sitting on some steps across the street. He said he didn’t know the suspect, but that he would recognize him if he saw him again. cs

I swear, every time you think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard the absolute stupidest thing imaginable, something else comes along to make you realize youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve barely scratched the surface. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing to accidentally ingest a tapeworm, as one Chicago diner recently claimed to have done, but surely no one would do so on purpose. On investigation, however, we discover that not only is Hillenbrandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story plausible, somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hawking a tapeworm diet plan on the Web. Ideally adapted for living inside other animals, most species of tapeworm have a similar life cycle. Once within its host a tapeworm continuously releases eggs (or pregnant segments of its body), which are passed out with the feces and then ingested by a subsequent animalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a cow, say, via contaminated feed. Larvae hatch and infect the tissues of their new host, where they wait until the animal dies and its flesh is eaten by yet another animal, e.g., us. When we digest the infected meat the outer layer of the cyst dissolves, freeing the worm, which attaches itself to our intestines, where it starts laying eggs and the process starts all over. The great circle of lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it beautiful?

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get to the practical implications of tapeworm dieting in a moment. First a more pressing question: Did anybody honest to God think this would work?

Answer: Evidently. A few seconds with Google turns up an authentic-looking

In her book Seabiscuit Laura Hillenbrand says 1930s jockeys trying to lose weight would swallow a capsule containing a tapeworm egg. The worms would then mature in the jockeysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stomachs and eat whatever food was dropped their way.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard this same story in connection with the great opera singer Maria Callas or other celebrities with a weight problem. When I expressed doubt, I was told Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m full of worms because Hillenbrand wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have included this if it werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t true. Help me worm out of this. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Jim Small, Denville, New Jersey

advertisement for â&#x20AC;&#x153;sanitized tapewormsâ&#x20AC;? that appears to date from the turn of the last century.

A hoax? Maybe, but it convinced at least one medical expert, endocrinologist Zachary Bloomgarden, who in a 2000 article in Diabetes Care wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Approaches to decreasing nutrient absorption date from the early 1900s, when diet treatment with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sanitized tapewormsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was widely advertised.â&#x20AC;?

So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assume the ad is legit, in the sense that this product was actually for sale a century ago. Did whatever they were selling really contain live tapeworms? Beats me, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m betting significant tapeworm consumption was lowâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;else the screaming would still be reverberating today.

Fact is, having a tapeworm inside you is beyond gross. An adult tapeworm can grow up to 50 feet long and live up to 20 years. Tapeworm eggs are even worse, as the larvae that emerge from them are prone to burrow out of your intestines and find homes elsewhere in your body.

For example, the pork tapeworm can cause neurocysticercosis, in which the larvae migrate through the stomach or intestinal lining and up into your brain.

There they form destructive cysts, triggering immune responses that can lead to epileptic seizures or worse. The cysts formed by sheep tapeworm larvae may reach the size of grapefruit; they can rupture blood vessels when they break, resulting in shock and death.

Death, schmeath, you say: will I lose weight? Probably, but there are some real downsides to tangling with even the relatively benign beef tapeworm, including nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and a general feeling of illness.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the risk of malnutrition. The fish tapeworm can steal vitamin B-12 from its host, leading to anemia.

But come on, if people will try stomach stapling, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try anything.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite possible jockeys in Seabiscuitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day at least talked about swallowing tapeworms to lose weight. Whether actual tapeworms got eaten is a matter on which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m content to remain agnostic. As for celebrities, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not seeing many confirmed cases. You mentioned opera diva Maria Callas. Though she was indeed diagnosed with at least one tapeworm infection, biographer Anne Edwards says the likely cause was her love of raw meat. cs

Angela Pusateri, 79, may be unconventional, but, according to Jenna, 13, “She really is a cool grandmother.”

The Hallandale Beach, Fla., woman is a rap-music singer with a new CD (“Who’s Your Granny?”) and occasional playdates, where she shows up in hockey jersey, jewels, sunglasses and baseball cap. Sample rap: “I can bring the noise better than P-Diddy / I am older and wiser, I ain’t a disguiser / I am condo commando in a high-riser, Who’s your granny?” Also, “Move over, Trick-Daddy, ‘cause this is my town / I gotta shuffleboard posse and we’re known to get down.” Actually, conceded Jenna to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel in September, “Sometimes it’s embarrassing.”

Barbie’s Not Just a Girls’ Obsession: (1) Robert Martin, 47, was arrested in Cape May, N.J., in July after a State Police officer spotted an array of pornographic magazines in his car in a public parking lot, along with a serving platter resting on his dashboard, piled with women’s underwear, and a collection of naked Barbie dolls lined up on the seat.

(2) Christopher Sullivan, 43, was arrested in Oshkosh, Wis., in August as the person who allegedly sent his upstairs neighbors threatening packages, including a Polaroid photo of three naked Barbie dolls with their heads cut off. He told police he was angry that the couple were too loud when they had sex.

The annual melting of sea ice around the North Pole didn’t quite match last year’s record retreat, but this summer still produced the second-greatest melt on record. Mark Serreze, an Arctic expert at the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo., said the “climate feedbacks” that are kicking in could lead to a complete loss of summertime ice within about two decades. Last week, researchers announced that a navigable corridor of open water had opened up around the entire Arctic, possibly for the first time in 125,000 years.

Forest Collapse Villagers in western Nepal’s Banke district say that nearly 3,000 trees in a single forest fell over within a 10-minute period, according to a report on the eKantipur Web site. Initial reports said there were no strong winds at the time of the collapses on Sept. 8, leading to speculations that the trees were knocked down by a supernatural force. Mystified residents said that the local District Forest Office (DFO) appeared to be taking no action to determine what caused the phenomenon. But a subsequent report said that a DFO official

determined that a sudden whirlwind was responsible for the collapses.

Ike

Day-Glow Fish Ichthyologists appear to have been blind for decades to a fluorescent crimson glow that naturally comes from many fish at depths where the sun’s red light cannot penetrate. The fish experts had long believed that the underwater creatures probably could not even see the color red, because the sea entirely filters out that wavelength of light at depths greater than 30 feet. But researchers at the University of Tubingen in Germany accidentally saw fish glowing red when they used a filter to block out the brighter green and blue light waves, leaving only red ones. They say the fluorescence can only be seen at short distances, and believe it may be used for communication.

Tropical Cyclones Peak-season Hurricane Ike leveled homes in parts of the Texas coast and left hundreds of thousands of Houston area residents with the prospect of living without electricity for weeks. The storm killed at least 17 in Texas, and its remnants were responsible for 30 other deaths in several Midwest states.

Mother of All Ants Scientists have unearthed an ancient ancestor of ants from the soil of the Amazon rain forest that is probably the species from which all other ants evolved. University of Texas evolutionary biologist Christian Rabeling, who discovered the

blind, subterranean and predatory ant, dubbed it Martialis heureka, or “ant from Mars,” because of its alien characteristics. Genetic analysis revealed that it is of a new species, genus and subfamily — the first such ant discovery since 1923. It also appears to be from the very base of the family tree for all the world’s ants. Ants evolved about 120 million years ago from wasp-like ancestors, then rapidly evolved. Martialis heureka has survived relatively unchanged by remaining underground in a stable tropical environment, free of competition from other ants. cs by steve newman, universal press syndicate

SCAD Museum reopens

Fall Gallery Talks inaugurate renovated arts facility

After months of construction, the SCAD Museum of Art will hold a reopening reception with classical music and refreshments from the Gryphon Tea Room on Wednesday, September 24, 5-7 p.m. The reception is the first of many upcoming events. SCAD faculty and staff will give a series of talks about the current work at the museum.

“We like to get people from the college to talk about the art exhibitions that are currently on view,” says Maureen Burke, Ph.D., the museum’s executive director.

The first gallery talk, “If You Can Paint a Pot, You Can Paint an Angel: The Studio and Still Life Painting of William Merritt Chase,” will be given

by Caroline Rush, the assistant curator, on Sunday, September 28, 1:30 p.m., and will focus on Chase’s “Still Life with Gourd.”

“I’m going to be talking about his studio which was really influential in 19th century America,” says Rush. “It was a part of the Aesthetic movement which was also part of the decorative arts movement in America. They thought that a refined environment would nurture the soul.”

The second gallery talk, “Man Ray and Lee Miller: An Affair to Remember,” will be given by SCAD photography professor Steve Mosch on Sunday, Oct. 12, 1:30 p.m. The talk will be centered on Man Ray’s “Portrait of Lee Miller,” and Ray and Miller’s professional and personal relationships.

“It’s a pretty fascinating relationship,” says Mosch. “All wrapped up in the Modernist art movement in Paris in the ‘20s and ‘30s.”

He will also discuss Miller’s compelling contributions to photography history. “Lee Miller was an American she had gotten interested in photography by first being a fashion model in the Conde Nast fashion world,” continues Mosch.

“She got her interest in photography that way. She decided to learn more

about photography ended up in Paris and became Ray’s assistant and lover.

She came back to London at the time of WWII and convinced her employers to let her become a war correspondent. One of her landmarks is that she was one of the first photographers to photograph the liberation of Nazi concentration camps at the end of the war.

So her career arc is just mind-boggling to go from that world of fashion and glamour to the horrors of the holocaust in WWII.” The last talk, “Politics, Prostitutes and Posterity: Hogarth Prints at the SCAD Museum of Art,” will be given by SCAD art history professor Edwin Johnson on Sunday, Nov. 9, 1:30 p.m. Johnson will talk about the Hogarth collections at the museum: “Four Prints of an Election” and “Modern Morals” series.

“Hogarth literally shows a dying person being carried up to vote, an ‘idiot’ being told how to vote, and a man with a hook whose vote is being threatened by the attorneys because he didn’t write his signature. He left his hook mark,” says Burke.

“So with the election coming up, people should find it interesting.” cs SCAD Museum of Art Where: 227 MLK Jr. Blvd.

A Biblical Cinderella story Musical comedy at Savannah Christian Church tells the story of Queen Esther by linda sickler | linda@connectsavannah.com

Can’t find Angel’s?

Call us and we’ll talk you in: 495-0902 www.angels-bbq.com

It’s a story that has fascinated writers, filmmakers and playwrights over the centuries. The story of Esther has it all - intrigue, adventure, heroism, romance and memorable characters.

It all began when King Ahasuerus of Persia decided to display the wealth of his kingdom. The king’s holdings were so vast, a 180-day feast was required to present them all.

As a highlight of the festivities, the king ordered his first wife, Queen Vashti, to appear before him and his guests wearing her crown, to show off her beauty. Alas, Vashti refused to obey.

According to law, the king went to his wise men and the seven princes of Persia and Media to ask their advice.

They told him he must punish Vashti by deposing her and making her an example for other disobedient wives.

After he followed this advice, the king realized he’d have to find a new

queen. Thus began what might have been the world’s first beauty contest.

Beautiful women from every province were brought to the palace to try their luck. Four years after Queen Vashti was executed, Esther became queen.

Savannah Christian Church is presenting Miss Persia, a musical comedy that utilizes the beauty contest aspect of the story, on Sept. 26, 27 and 28.

High school junior Ansley Kicklighter plays the role of Hadassah, who later becomes Esther.

Hadassah sees her world as an unfair one, where men rule over women and Persians rule over Jews. A dreamer and an idealist, she thinks the world can change, so she takes on a new identify and wins the “Miss Persia” beauty pageant to become Queen of Persia.

That’s only the beginning of the story.

When the king’s royal advisor, Haman, concocts a nefarious plan against

the Jewish people, Esther must decide whether to speak up. Will Esther take the easy way out, or will she find the courage to confront the king and save her people?

SCC has become highly regarded for its youth productions. “Ansley brings a beautiful Disney-style voice where the acting comes through in her singing,” SCC Drama Director Wayne Sullivan says. “The vocal range and emotional arc she brings to the character is tremendous.”

Kicklighter has appeared in several theatrical productions at SCC, and also works in the children’s ministry, where she volunteers. She plans to become a ministry leader or a teacher.

Drama can be used to transform lives, Kicklighter says. “It’s a way to reach people,” she says. “I’ve seen God do amazing things through these productions.”

Sullivan says SCC’s drama program has achieved miracles because it involves prayer and devotions as well as rehearsals. “I can tell you story after story of kids who are invited to see or participate in a production here at SCC,” he says. “They get involved in something they initially think is just for fun, then their lives are transformed.”

That’s why Miss Persia is such a good fit as an SCC youth production.

“God works in Esther’s life like a stage manager, directing the action from behind the scenes,” Sullivan says.

“In the same way, God is an ever-present part of our ministry, orchestrating moments that change lives.”

Even though it’s inspiring, Miss Persia is, most of all, fun. “It’s an unusual take on the story,” SCC Creative Communications Team Leader Esther Griffin says.

“This is a great activity for the whole family.” cs Miss Persia Savannah Christian Church Youth Drama presents a musical comedy based on the story of Queen Esther.

The cast rehearses for this Thursday’s opening

Culture

theatre

by Ashley Jensen | yelsha24_7@yahoo.com

In preparing to present Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Armstrong theatre professor Dr. Peter Mellen and his students are staying true to the language Shakespeare used. But they’re not subscribing to any particular time period.

“We’re going Three Stooges about it,” says Mellen, “in that we’re really trying to be true to the fluff comedy that it is.”

And a comedy it is. Shakespeare’s classic tale centers around four Athenian youths in a love rectangle of sorts.

With well-meaning intentions from Athen’s duke and future duchess and mischievous manipulations by the forest’s fairies, the four are swept into a night of mistaken love, cat-fights, and the general message that you shouldn’t experiment with drugs, even if they are applied in your sleep by a revenge-seeking minion.

Originally slotted to be in the Jenkins Theatre, Midsummer was forced to be relocated due to continuing construction efforts in Jenkins Hall. On top of that was the show’s short turnaround, with only thirty days between casting and opening night. Mellen takes the challenges in stride, saying that “it’s forced us to be more creative and take more chances in a smaller space.”

The cast seems to embrace this attitude, each taking their own difficulties and tackling them head-on. This will be Alfred Pierce’s first dance with Shakespeare as he plays the role of Lysander, one of the four lovers.

“The language is the hardest part, but

the rhythm that it’s written in helps,” says Pierce. “Even though it’s Shakespeare, it’s down to earth and there’s nothing that’s incomprehensible or that you won’t enjoy.”

James Grieco, playing Demetruis, finds more pain in his character’s actions, rather than his language.

“The hard part is the moment he announces his love for Helena, even though he’s wanted nothing to do with her since the beginning,” notes Grieco.

“He even admits to having first loved Hermia, but then does a complete oneeighty.”

Tiffany Barnhardt, who plays Hermia and is working on technical aspects of the production as well, is focusing on how to portray a character she never expected to play. “I’m trying to work on her feistiness,” she says.”She’s little, but she can handle herself and isn’t scared of too much.”

So what makes this production different from all the movies and other versions done?

“Ours is funnier,” Mellen answers.

“Trust me, I’ve seen other shows. This isn’t a chin-scratcher, you’re just going to be laughing out loud.” cs Midsummer Night’s Dream When: Sept. 25-27 and Oct. 2-4 at 7:30 p.m., matinee Sept. 28 at 3 p.m.

Where: Chinese Theatre in the Armstrong Center.

JR & SR (The Riddle Brothers)

It’s only been a few months since guitarist Jeremy and drummer Stephen Riddle (late of standout local rockers Argyle) split for the West Coast, but a friend’s wedding brought them back to the area, so they booked a few gigs to help with travel expenses. Since moving to Ca., they’ve done well “from Sunset Blvd. to Venice Beach” with a club act called “Fat, Drunk and Ugly”, which they describe as “offensive, satirical, misogynistic, Southern two-step”. No word on how Dixie mockery will go over on this side of the Miss., but here in town they’ll also feature plenty of the older material that endeared them to local fans.

Mountain Heart

Fresh from three major shows opening for Southern rock legends Lynyrd Skynyrd, this universally praised bluegrass supergroup returns to the no-frills environs of a 100-seat smoke and alcohol-free acoustic listening room they’ve sold out many times in the past. Known for their amazing vocal harmonies, lightning-fast fretwork and goodnatured humor, they truly are one of the shining lights of modern, traditional mountain music — and their exceptional songwriting skills have them crafting tunes that may likely become standards for the next generation of pickers.

Soft Targets

Good lord, but this Tallahassee modern-pop/rock trio has crafted a wholly realized sound and vibe on their second indie release. Produced and engineered by the imminently tasteful and talented Atlantan Tim

Delaney (bassist for The Swimming Pool Q’s), Heavy Rainbow showcases a fairly stunning collection of semi-restrained, chiming electric guitar-and-keyboard-driven rave-ups and dreamy, lopsided laments that should appeal mightily to anyone enamored with The Shins, The Glands or Canada’s ever-so-terrific Golden Dogs.

Their occasionally falsetto vocals are more effete and contemplative than boastful, and the obtuse

lyrical constructs only serve to highlight how much thought has gone into both the songwriting and arranging of these positively beatific tunes. The band (featuring former Savannahian Steven Gillespie on drums and vocals) plays a full set before GAM frontman Keith Kozel’s weekly eclectic DJ set (under the stage name KZL).

Talent and fame are funny things. It’s possible to have both, but more often than not, one or the other is all some folks can muster.

When the children of successful artists from any medium try their hand at the same game, there’s never any guarantee they’ll carry within them a similar capacity for success on any level.

And while family connections and lingering goodwill can sometimes open industry doors that otherwise might remain closed to a complete unknown, there’s an equal if not greater chance that perceptions of coattail-riding and nepotism will contribute to unfair dismissal of the progeny’s accomplishments.

The teenaged Jakob Dylan went to great lengths to hide his iconic songwriter dad’s identity from young peers on L.A.’s Open Mic scene —such as going for years under an assumed surname— lest anyone knock him down before he’d even had a chance to hoist himself up.

Lisa Stroud knows a thing or two about the internal tug of war that comes along with such unfair expectations.

The actress and singer is the daughter of the late jazz and soul singer/composer Nina Simone, a singular talent if ever there was one, who’s both revered for her lush vocal style and activist stands on civil rights and remembered for a public persona that was often viewed as confrontational and unpredictable.

A former national touring cast member of Jesus Christ Superstar and

the original Broadway production (and first national tour) of Rent, she has also played the title role in the Broadway production of Disney’s musical Aida, and released two records under the name Simone.

Her latest, Simone on Simone, finds her confronting her legacy head-on.

It’s a big-band jazz album featuring the vocalist tackling tunes previously performed by her mother. In fact, the arrangements used on this record come straight from Nina Simone’s own charts, which were left to her daughter.

Critics seem unanimous in their praise for the album, which balances reverence for the spirit of Nina’s original interpretations, while showcasing not only her daughter’s dazzling vocal chops, but her unique sense of identity.

Simone spoke with me in anticipation of her headlining set at the 2008 Savannah Jazz Fest — where she’ll be backed by the Savannah Jazz Orchestra.

You can read more of our conversation and watch video of the artist at connectsavannah.com.

You got your start in the world of musical theater, but now are making waves as a concert artist. Do you have a preference?

Simone: I enjoy both theatre and concert work. The discipline that is mandatory when doing theatre has become second nature, and is necessary, as far as I’m concerned, to keep those “creative muscles” limber. Concert work has always been my passion simply because of the freedom it affords in relating to

interview | continued from page 28

Simone: The wonderful accolades I have been receiving for Simone on Simone have been a confirmation that I did the right thing. Giving honor to my mother and my legacy is bringing joy to many including myself and I am being rewarded on many levels for having made that choice.

People have approached you for some time about recording a tribute to your mother. Was it difficult to turn them down?

Simone: Interesting question. I learned a long time ago that everybody has an opinion. Having said that, I have never stopped working on my own music. I decided to make this album after really giving it some thought to make sure I was doing it for the right reasons. Once I began looking through the charted music my mom gifted me and saw so many of my favorite Nina Simone tunes, I really opened up to the idea. Since my mother passed away, I have endured many requests and comments. Some are more difficult to deal with than others.

But I have a rather secure sense of self and am able to sift through the foolishness and follow my heart.

Was there one aspect of this project you found most daunting or unnerving?

Simone: The biggest hurdle in doing this project was my heart. It’s taken me five years to stop grieving, and at the end of the day, while the rest of the world refers to her as Nina, I am the only person alive who calls her mommy. I live with the reality that I will never feel her arms around me again or hear her call my name, and I miss that very much.

Has making Simone on Simone changed the way you looked at your mother’s repertoire in a tangible way?

Simone: The entire process of making Simone on Simone and touring it has forced me to respect my mother as an all-around entertainer. It’s one thing to

Have you been to Savannah before?

Simone: Yes, I have been to the lovely city of Savannah and it left a lasting impression. I was touring with Jesus Christ Superstar, so I didn’t have much time to explore. What I remember most is the river with all the shops and restaurants and a feeling in the air which I have yet to be able to adequately put into words.

I look forward to returning.

What can Savannah audience members expect from your set in terms of material, length, etc.?

Simone: Savannah audiences can expect me to perform songs from Simone on Simone as well as other songs my mother either wrote or performed.

Those songs will be sprinkled with a couple original compositions of my own and I’m looking forward to having a good time!

Okay, here’s the lightning round: If you could be anything else other than a performing artist, what would it be?

Simone: I would be an athlete.

One record album that you try to never be without.

Simone: One album I am never without is Ephraim Lewis’ Skin.

New Urban Jazz: back to basics

Bob Baldwin brings his funk-influenced groove to Forsyth Park by jim reed | jim.r@connectsavannah.com

Bob Baldwin is more than just a celebrated jazz composer. The Grammy-nominated keyboardist is also something of a music business visionary.

Over the past two decades, he’s enjoyed Top 20 (and even Top 10) chart success with many of his own albums, and collaborated with an impressive roster of jazz and R&B names, including Roy Ayers, Will Downing, Marion Meadows and Gerald Albright.

He was also one of the first musicians to grasp the awesome potential of the internet for marketing music directly to fans. He sold 7,000 albums online way back in 1994 — on an unsecured server, no less. (“That’s how fresh I was,” he says with a smile.)

Now, while continuing to write, record and release new music that falls squarely in the vein of funk and modern R&B-influenced jazz, he’s spearheading a new radio format he calls New Urban Jazz. As a music director, consultant and on-air talent, he’s taken this idea from one Jacksonville station to a handful of others throughout the Southeast, and feels confident that as more listeners hear this approach to contemporary jazz radio, more outlets will embrace his creation.

I spoke to Baldwin in advance of his upcoming set at the Savannah Jazz Fest, where his group will open for smooth jazz legend Bob James at a free show in Forsyth Park. Connectsavannah.com has the full interview.

What is it about modern jazz that attracts you? Have you ever been tempted to record more traditional jazz?

Bob Baldwin: First of all, my dad was a pianist. I grew up on Duke Ellington, Oscar Peterson Trio and Miles Davis records, so I am raised on the right stuff. Cats that grow up playing smooth or contemporary and go back to traditional actually miss something.

Traditional jazz is the best. It’s a shame this country has a very low appreciation level for it. It evolved at the same time Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier, and that music became a platform to bring all cultures together.

Do you already know Bob James?

Bob Baldwin: Funny story — and he’ll get a kick when he reads it: About 1984 or so, when I was living in Westchester County, N.Y., Bob was recording in White Plains at a studio called Minot Sound, and that’s where we met. I’m well aware of Bob’s legacy and it is very well-respected in my circle. When he wrote “Westchester Lady,” he was talking about my home county, where he eventually settled for many years. Bob’s a nice guy with a very rich career path. Maybe one day, we’ll get a chance to work together be-

fore he calls it quits.

What can folks expect from this gig?

Bob Baldwin: I’m bringing a small unit with a solid groove fusing contemporary with traditional. I have a 20-year catalog, so we’ll do all kinds of stuff. It’ll be fun.

How does New Urban Jazz differ from existing radio formats?

Bob Baldwin: In brief, it brings us back to the radio concept of the ‘70s: “Just play good music.” It’s not based

on one single off a record, or some formula. It’s not the same songs repeated ad nauseam. People are waiting for the next wave and stations are responding. So far, I have affiliates in Montgomery, Huntsville, Hampton and Birmingham. Anybody in Savannah interested?

Grammy nominated Sones de México plays free show at Trustees Theater

WEDNESDAY SEpt. 24

RockNRoll BiNgo

by jim reed | jim.r@connectsavannah.com

15 years ago, when Juan Diés founded the Grammy-nominated progressive folk group Sones de México, he and his bandmates were infintely more concerned with making sure their take on traditional Mexican music was authentic and entertaining than whether or not the ensemble sent a message of any sort through their songs.

Now, a decade and a half later, Diés admits that changing times have led many in the group’s ever-growing fanbase —and within the band itself— to find deeper inferences, if not outright statements of position, in some of their material. On some level, this was unavoidable, says the multi-instrumentalist and musicologist.

“15 years ago, we lived in a different, more innocent America,” he muses.

“People and the media were concerned about political ‘correctness.’ Now the same ‘correctness’ is viewed as undesirable.”

Diés and his fellow musicians now accept that aspect of their image, in light of the current dialogue on immigration. It’s also at the root of the decision to name their most recent CD Esta Tierra es Tuya, or This Land Is Your Land.

Taken from the title of Woody Guthrie’s famed 1940 broadside, but sung in both Spanish and English, it’s a provocative recasting of that iconic sing-along that is sparking debate and eliciting wry smiles on both sides of the issue. Diés cites the song’s little-known origin as “a protest song on two counts.”

“It’s both a reactionary retooling of the patriotic song ‘God Bless America,’ and a criticism of the treatment of migrant Okies rejected from Ca. field working jobs during the Dust Bowl Era,” he explains.

The timeliness of Guthrie’s initial motivation resonated with Diés. “Singing it in Spanish felt like it exposed this incongruent, double-standard of patriotism,” he says, adding that he finds no provocative message in the song itself. Rather, “that comes from the subtext created by it’s sung in the times in which we’re now living.”

If this type of interpretation sounds at least as academic as it does populist,

Juan Diés of Sones de México

that’s because Diés moved to Chicago to join the staff of the famed Old Town School of Folk Music — a landmark institution launched in 1957 to help preserve and promote international brotherhood, artistic expression and self discovery through folk music traditions worldwide. In fact, he worked there for 13 years, helping to diversify the scope of the school’s outreach program.

It was there, in the midst of Chicago’s surprisingly huge Latino (mostly Mexican) population —second only to L.A. in the USA— that he and the group’s musical director Victor Pichardo became intrigued with the notion of forming a band conversant in the eclectic, region-specific style of Mexican music known as “son”. According to Diés, back in 1994, none of the literally hundreds of acts playing Mexican music in the greater Chicago area specialized in son.

“After Victor introduced me to son, we started practicing daily with some friends, while consuming about a case of beer per rehearsal,” he recounts with a laugh.

These days, Sones de México are enjoying widespread acclaim that finds them in high demand as much for regional party gigs as for major, interna-

tional concerts (e.g., they’re the sole U.S. representatives at Beijing’s World Folk Song Fest).

For this week’s free Savannah concert (sponsored by the City and AASU’s Hispanic Outreach & Leadership organization), the group will use approximately 30 different instruments (many native to Mexico) during a show that draws on tradition while pushing the boundaries of what might be expected from a son band.

“We appeal to people who like ‘world music’ and are eager to discover new sounds,” says Diés, adding, “Then again, we also appeal to people who like classical, progressive rock, salsa and other styles. They find tunes of ours that talk to them.”

“We ground ourselves in our culture, without closing ourselves up to attractive propositions in our multi-cultural surroundings.”

John Maida wants to find the silver lining in even the darkest cloud.

Maida, who lives in Rome but whose roots are deep in Savannah, was asked to be the artistic director of this year’s September Concert in Rome. “When they came to me with this project, I had no idea what was in store for me,” he says. “I thought it was just going to mean putting together a small orchestra and a program.”

The first September Concert was presented in 2002 on the first anniversary of the 9/11 tragedies. It was inspired by the words of Aldous Huxley: “After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.”

Every year since, the message of peace through music has spread further and further, with more than 200 concerts held worldwide featuring more than 3,000 performers. One hundred and nineteen concerts are held in New York alone, with 42 U.S. cities and 39 international cities also participating.

All of the concerts adhere to three basic principles: freedom, equality and accessibility. Each venue is free to design and organize its own concert; all music and musicians are treated equally, regardless of genre or background; and all events are offered free of charge.

In Rome, the September Concert meant a series of events, and it wasn’t easy to coordinate them. “Since we’re dealing with volunteers, that means things kept changing constantly,” Maida says. “Someone couldn’t do it, so someone else was found -- it was a roller coaster up to the end. We were working 18-hour days.”

But the effort paid off. “It came off beautifully,” Maida says. “Everybody involved was so happy to be a part of it. Even the professionals who do 100 concerts a year were so happy.”

The concerts are meant to do more than commemorate 9/11. “The idea also is to promote some sort of hope for the future by making something positive on that day,” Maida says.

The international aspect of the events

John Maida

is intentional. “Our final concert was really a melting pot,” Maida says. “We had people from all over the world, many different orchestras came in.

“Every single participant is a volunteer. We had around 15 or 16 countries participating and included in that was a Palestinian pianist and a large group from Japan.

“There were some children in that group, 8 to 10 years old,” Maida says.

“There were other children from Rome doing percussion. It was like an event that tried to include every single type of person imaginable.”

The venues were varied, too, and included museums, hospitals, even an event for children in one of the jails.

The music ranged from classical to rock.

“Another event I created in the Fendi building had a Tunisian belly dancer and an Italian poet,” Maida says. “That was an event by women, for women.”

The finale was a gala evening concert in the Auditorium Parco Della Musica of Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, home of Rome’s principle symphony. American composer Aaron Jay Kernis, the youngest American composer to win a Pulitzer Prize, was present for the performance of his Lament and Prayer.

While some of the music was solemn, the musicians ramped things up. “We did an encore and midway through the

How things have changed. “Now, he practices for hours because he loves to play,” Muriel says. “The violin is now an appendage on him.”

Maida gave up the violin for a time.

“There came a point when he wanted to play the guitar because he said girls like boys who play guitars,” Muriel says. “He was 13 or 14. He won a prize for jazz guitar and he’s a great jazz musician, but he decided to return to the violin. He also plays the tabla, an Indian instrument.”

He currently is the first violin with the Orchestra di Santa Cecilia in Rome.

Maida also plays with the Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio, made up of musicians from around the world.

“A documentary was made on them and they’ve recorded CDs,” Muriel says.

“He’s had marriage proposals because of the documentary. The OPV had the opportunity to perform at the Tribeca Festival last fall. My son is the only violinist in the OPV.” Maida’s own sons, Michaelangelo, 5, and Joshua, 2, are musical. “I don’t know if they’re going to be musicians, but they’re definitely extremely musical,” Maida says.

If the September Concert Foundation asks Maida to be artistic director of the Rome event next year, he plans to accept. “I really feel fortunate to have been a part of that,” he says. “I hated to see the smiles wiped off the faces of New Yorkers.

“It’s difficult to convey in words, because I don’t want people to be laughing on Sept. 11, but on the other hand I really want them to have a sense of hope and not to lose their sense of humor,” Maida says. “I want them to remember something tragic and, at the same time, let’s make something beautiful happen.” cs

piece, the orchestra got up and started dancing,” Maida says. “It was just great.

The audience was dancing. We were dancing on stage. That was exactly the idea we had in mind.”

Maida himself is an accomplished musician. He earned a master’s degree in violin performance from the New England Conservatory. He has played in orchestras under Leonard Bernstein, Simon Rattle, Seiju Ozawa and others.

A composer as well as a performer, Maida also is a jazz guitarist. “I studied with Kevin Eubanks, who is on the Jay Leno show now,” he says.

After finishing his master’s degree in Boston, Maida went to an audition and became the concertmaster of the Spoleto Festival. “At that time, half was in Charleston, and the other five weeks were in Spoleto, Italy,” he says. “At that time, I met a woman and fell in love with Italy, and I vowed that the following year when I did the festival, I would stay. I started freelancing, then started playing with an orchestra, and every year kept finding new and more interesting projects, so I just stayed because things were going so well.”

Maida maintains an address in Savannah, and comes to visit his mother, Muriel, as often as possible. “I’ve been back and forth,” he says. “I’ve always had family in Savannah.”

Muriel Maida knew early on that her son would become a musician. “The first time he heard a violin and commented on it, he was under 3 years of age,” she says. “He asked me, ‘What is that?’ I told him it was a violin, and he said, ‘It sounds like the voice of angels.’”

When her son clamored for violin lessons, Muriel began looking for teachers. “He started with the Suzuki method,” she says. “I even took him to see Suzuki. He was 5 when he started and he practiced 5 minutes a day.”

Ghost Town, Lakeview Terrace, My Best Friend’s Girl, Burn After Reading, Righteous Kill, Bangkok Dangerous, Babylon A.D., The House Bunny, The Longshots, Fly Me to the Moon 3-D, The Dark Knight, Journey to the Center of the Earth, David Gilmore: Live in Gdansk

Burn After Reading As is the case with most great filmmakers, Joel and Ethan Coen produce only two classifications of pictures. There’s Major Coen, like No Country for Old Men and Fargo, and there’s Minor Coen, such as Intolerable Cruelty and The Big Lebowski. (And then there’s the strange case of Raising Arizona, which looks Minor but is Major every step of the way.)

Burn After Reading is decidedly Minor Coen, which means that it’s still more enjoyable than a lot of the product out there. With George Clooney and Brad Pitt in full-on clown mode, the film feels as much of an insignificant riff as those Ocean heist flicks, but with the Coens at the helm, it features a pitch-black comic sensibility that will either attract or repel moviegoers.

The memoirs of a recently fired CIA wonk (John Malkovich) accidentally fall into the hands of a pair of idiotic gym employees (Pitt and Frances McDormand). Their awkward attempts at blackmail produce a vortex of misunderstandings that also ensnares the

ex-CIA suit’s aloof wife (Tilda Swinton) and her lover (Clooney), a bundle of energy who enjoys jogging, womanizing and building stuff in his basement (his creation yields one of the film’s biggest laughs and will be at the top of most women’s Christmas wish lists).

The three guys are more fun to watch than the two gals, although the film is stolen by J.K. Simmons (Juno’s dad) as a thoroughly confused CIA bigwig. Still, while the picture offers strikingly off-kilter characterizations and a number of huge guffaws, it won’t remain in the memory like most of the siblings’ output. See Burn After Reading, but then expect to Forget After Seeing.

Given the dearth of quality romantic comedies produced by the major studios -- these days, it’s up to the independent outfits to provide them (tag In Search of a Midnight Kiss as Exhibit A) -- it’s a pleasant surprise to discover that Ghost Town manages to buck the odds.

Certainly, the high-concept storyline makes it sound as dreary as a Kate Hudson vehicle. (Speaking of which, Hudson’s own rom-com, My Best Friend’s Girl, opened the same day as Ghost Town, but without the benefit of advance critics’ screenings.) Bertram Pincus (Ricky Gervais), a dour dentist who avoids interacting with people at all costs, suddenly finds himself surrounded by <I>dead<P> people.

That’s because he himself died for seven minutes while undergoing a routine colonoscopy, and this established an open line of communication with restless ghosts still hovering around Manhattan. Chief among them is Frank Herlihy (Greg Kinnear), who demands that Bertram prevent his widow Gwen (Tea Leoni) from marrying a human rights lawyer (Billy Campbell).

Ghost Town is given a significant boost by the presence of Gervais, whose caustic wit and no-nonsense demeanor provide the picture with more of an edge than it would have received with a more conventional leading man at the helm. But the picture surprises in other ways as well, thanks to unexpected tweaks in the script co-written by John Kamps and director David Koepp (best known for penning such blockbusters as Jurassic Park, Spider-Man and the latest Indiana Jones installment).

Kinnear’s ethereal hubby isn’t exactly the dashing nice guy he initially seems, while the emotionally torn widow played by Leoni (who really needs to appear in more movies) isn’t just a pawn to be moved around by the three men in her life but instead takes control of the situations presented before her.

Charming and unassuming, Ghost Town offers enough in the way of laughs to raise anyone’s spirits.

The Women The witty and wise 1939 screen version of The Women, based on Clare Booth Luce’s play and helmed by “woman’s director” George Cukor, has been unfortunately refashioned as a Sex and the City wanna-be, in the process losing all the smoldering conflicts

and zesty support system of its classic predecessor. In that version, Norma Shearer’s angelic society woman had to decide whether to stay married to a husband who dared to dally with Joan Crawford’s skanky shopgirl. With nary a male in sight but an all-female-cast to die for (Rosalind Russell, Paulette Goddard and Joan Fontaine were also part of the ensemble), the picture began with a playful title sequence and went on to examine females as complicated beings forced to simultaneously respond to social duties, potentially duplicitous acquaintances, and the demands of their own independent hearts. Predictably, this new version opens with a nod toward modern materialism (a woman mentally catalogues each item in a department store with an inner computer not unlike the Terminator’s) and then proceeds to offer contemporary stereotypes rather than memorable individuals. Here, everything has been smoothed out to the point of tepidity: Eva Mendes (as the hubby-swiper) is merely naughty where Crawford was lethal, and Russell’s role as a backstabbing “frenemy” has been transformed into Annette Bening’s tough-yet-tender editor. Meanwhile, Meg Ryan (as the jilted spouse) doesn’t stray too far from her established persona, while Jada Pinkett Smith’s casting in a worthless role (cut it, and the movie doesn’t change at all) demonstrates that writer-director Diane English was more interested in covering all demographics than in making any salient points about 21st-century girl power.

THE HOUSE BUNNY According to the Internet Movie Database, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner has appeared as himself (or a variation thereof) in over 150 movies, TV shows and video productions, including episodes of Laverne & Shirley, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and Sex and the City. Presumably, Hefner enjoys lengthier screen time in the new comedy The House Bunny, although personally I don’t think he’ll ever top his cameo in the Roman Empire segment of Mel Brooks’ History of the World: Part I, wherein he sports a toga while brandishing his trademark pipe and explaining to a bevy of beauties that “It’s a new concept; I call it the centerfold.”

In The House Bunny, the 82-year-old Hef serves as a father figure of sorts to Shelley Darlingson (Anna Faris), a Playboy bunny who lives at his legendcontinues on p.42

ary mansion and dreams of becoming the magazine’s next centerfold. But right after her 27th birthday (59 in Bunny years, she’s told), she’s kicked out of the house, although it’s not long before she finds herself with a new gig: serving as a house mother to the socially awkward girls from the Zeta Alpha Zeta sorority.

Soon, she’s instructing them on how to attract boys and pledges while they’re teaching her how to depend on more than just her looks. The House Bunny was co-written by the same women (Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith) who penned Legally Blonde, and it’s safe to say that their roots are showing. This is basically an inferior version of that Reese Witherspoon hit, and it isn’t even up to the standards of last year’s similarly plotted Amanda Bynes comedy Sydney White. But Faris strikes the proper airhead notes, and Lutz and Smith feed her some funny lines.

mamma mia!

Meryl Streep fans and ABBA fans can at least count on those two components firing on all cylinders in this adaptation of the Broadway smash. Everyone else, though, may be forced to rummage through the debris that constitutes the rest of the picture to find anything worth salvaging. Streep is aptly cast as Donna, a former singer raising her daughter Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) at her hotel on a Greek island. Sophie’s about to marry hunky Sky (dull Dominic Cooper), but first she’s determined to learn the identity of her father.

The candidates are suave Sam (Pierce Brosnan), uptight Harry (Colin Firth) and rascally Bill (Stellan Skarsgard), and as long as the actors essaying the roles stick to walking and talking, they’re fun to watch. But whenever one of them is called upon to sing, be prepared to duck and cover as their aural ineptitude bombards our eardrums.

tropic thunder

Live MuSic

Sat., Sept. 27 - Patty & Ryan Kelly Join Us on Our Rooftop Deck!

9 Drayton St. (between Bryan & Bay) 231-0100

The opening salvo of Tropic Thunder is perhaps the funniest 10 minutes I’ve encountered in a movie theater this year -- that’s good news in that it kicks the picture off on a high note and bad news in that it instantly raises concerns that the remaining 95 minutes won’t come close to touching this raucous beginning. But the best news is that the movie manages to keep the laughs hurtling forward for its entire running time.

Ben Stiller stars as Tugg Speedman, a macho action star whose one attempt at an awards-bait title, the resounding flop Simple Jack, has largely derailed his career. Jack Black plays Jeff Portnoy, a comedian known for vulgar blockbusters. And Robert Downey, Jr. essays the role of Kirk Lazarus, a five-time Academy Award-winning actor celebrated for his Method approach to acting. All three, plus rap star Alpa Chino (Brandon T. Jackson) and screen newcomer Kevin Sandusky (Jay Baruchel, best known -- depending on one’s age -- as the simple-minded boxer Danger in Million Dollar Baby and as a member of Seth Rogen’s posse in Knocked Up), are in Vietnam shooting the war movie to end all war movies. But on-set mishaps and temperamental actors immediately put the film behind schedule, and the grizzled technical advisor (Nick Nolte) suggests to the director (Steve Coogan) that the pampered stars should be taken to a rough spot of the jungle where, away from the rest of the cast and crew, they’ll buckle up and get the movie made. Unfortunately for the thespians, they find themselves the targets of vicious locals who don’t take kindly to what they believe to be DEA agents searching for their heroin factory.

THE DARK KNIGHT It was 30 years ago that the Christopher Reeve version of Superman was released, and now we have its equal on the other side of the aisle, a superhero saga that’s as dark and deep as its forefather was cheery and colorful. Even in superior entertainment like Spider-Man and Iron Man, there’s a feeling that it’s all make-believe, but The Dark Knight offers no such safety net -- it wears its danger on its sleeve. In this outing, Batman (Christian Bale) has done a fine job of tightening the reins around the mob bosses who have long controlled Gotham City, and he’s soon aided in his efforts by idealistic district attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart). But their combined attempts to corral the city’s crooks are hampered by the presence of a murderous psychopath known as The Joker (Heath Ledger). Eckhart stands out in what proves to be the picture’s most fully realized characterization, though we all know who’s the MVP of this particular show: The late Ledger is simply mesmerizing as this whirling dervish of cackling, lip-smacking, cheek-sucking sin. cs

Savannah Shag Club

ARIES

(March 21-April 19) Every day for 44 years, the German writer Karl Wilhelm von Humboldt composed a poem for his wife, the lively and brilliant Karoline von Dachroden. In accordance with your astrological potentials, Aries, I will ask you to briefly imitate his prodigious outpouring of creative love. Every day for the next two weeks, please find it in your wild heart to make a sublime, or at least gorgeous, offering to someone or something you adore.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20) A recent National Geographic article reported on nudibranches: colorful, oddly shaped slugs that live in the sea. The members of a typical species, Nembrotha kubaryana, are whimsical blobs of neon green swirled with orange and purple.

The slugs are “blind to their own beauty,” however, because their eyes can only register the difference between light and dark. The “blind to their own beauty” thing reminds me of you, Taurus -- especially these days. Would you do me a favor and acknowledge your own charms more aggressively?

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20) Jack Kerouac made a “list of 30 essentials,” themes that guided him as a writer. To mark your entry into the most expressive phase of your astrological cycle, I offer you a few of his guidelines. Even if you’re not a writer, they can be applied to how you create your life. 1. Submissive to everything, open, listening. 2.

Be in love with yr life. 3. Something that you feel will find its own form.

4. Be crazy dumbsaint of the mind.

5. Blow as deep as you want to blow. 6. Visionary tics shivering in the chest. 7. Write what you want bottomless from bottom of the mind. 8. Telling the true story of the world in interior monolog. 9.

Accept loss forever. 10. Believe in the holy contour of life. 11. No fear or shame in the dignity of yr experience, language & knowledge.

12. You’re a Genius all the time.

(The whole list is here: tinyurl. com/6e93sm.)

CANCER

(June 21-July 22) The tabloids report that Cancerian Tom Cruise has plans to build a

$10 million bunker designed to save him and his family when the evil alien overlord Xenu attacks Earth, fulfilling a prophecy of his religion, Scientology. If the reports do have a grain of truth, and Cruise has in fact been considering the project, now would be an excellent time for him to begin construction. I’m not saying that I believe Xenu’s on his way. My point is that you Crabs will place yourself in harmony with cosmic rhythms if you attend to matters that will bolster your security, help you feel safe and peaceful, and foster domestic bliss.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22) “I do not seek, I find.” Pablo Picasso said that many years ago, and I hope you will use it as your motto in the coming days. It could help you keep your conscious mind out of the way while your unconscious mind works to bring you what you really require. In other words, Leo, you may miss the point if you’re obsessed with a specific answer or goal. It’ll be more important to stay alert for what you don’t even realize you need to know.

Here’s a corollary to add to your main theme. “The true worth of an experimenter,” wrote physiologist Claude Bernard, “consists in his pursuing not only what he seeks, but also what he did not seek.”

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Many people who pray don’t limit their conversations with God to purely spiritual and ethical matters. In fact, money is one of the main subjects the Divine Wow is asked to address. If you’ve never had the chutzpah to do this yourself, I suggest you try it soon.

Higher powers of all kinds, from your boss to the loan officer at the bank to the Creator Herself, may be unusually receptive to your pleas. I’m guessing you’ll be able to tap into financial help “from above,” or that you will make a connection with an elevated source of wealth that has previously been out of your reach.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Against all odds, you are finally finding a way to quit that nagging “addiction.” You’re shedding a dependency that isn’t worthy of you. You’re weaning yourself from

a passion that hasn’t brought out the best in you. Congratulations on your hard, meticulous work, you epic hero, you. In the aftermath of your exacting struggle, please don’t immediately initiate another obsessive relationship with a new mania.

Enjoy the benefits of being blank and clean and empty for a while.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21) What reasons might you have to celebrate your own private holy day? Why might you want to go off by yourself or in the company of special people and conduct a reverent ritual that reinvigorates your knack for having fun? Here are some possible answers: 1.

You’re overdue for a break from everything you usually do. 2.

You’re hungry for the magic that happens when you take refuge in the sacred. 3. It’s time to stop the world and jump off long enough to break the trance you’re in. 4. You would generate uncanny blessings by paying tender attention to your origins, returning to your sources, and examining the foundations of your life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Many Americans regard the Pledge of Allegiance as a supreme oath of loyalty to the United States. When I was a kid, we used to recite it to start each school day. Members of Congress still make it their opening salutation at every session.

It’s not well-known, though, that the Pledge was composed by a Socialist, Baptist minister Francis Bellamy. Republicans might swoon in apoplexy if you presented them with this proof that an extreme leftwinger was a fervent patriot. But doing that would be right in alignment with your assignment in the coming week, Sagittarius. You will receive encouragement from the cosmos whenever you seek out and express facts that disprove prevailing biases and mistaken beliefs.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Norepinephrine is a hormone that can make you feel good even when it’s generated by stress. According to a study by the Positive Health Center in London, successful women produce that hormone in abundance. I have no medical research, just astrological guesswork, to back up my claim that

you Capricorns will have a special relationship with norepinephrine in the coming weeks.

As a result, high-pressure situations that might have sapped your energy or frayed your nerves in the past may actually energize you.

You could find yourself having a blast as you push harder to foster excellence.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Aquarian hockey mom and VicePresidential candidate Sarah Palin is a “cocky wacko,” according to former Republican Senator Lincoln Chafee. While it’s no surprise that a member of your tribe would be referred to as a wacko, the “cocky” designation is atypical.

Many Aquarians never build a strong enough ego structure to feel as confident as they’d like, let alone slip into the realm of having too damn much confidence. So even though I disagree with most of Palin’s political positions, and harbor a deep sadness that a more thoughtful and compassionate person didn’t make it onto the Republican ticket, I urge you to cop some of her attitude in the coming days. Conduct experiments that will help you feel what it’s like to cruise around with more than your usual amount of pride.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20) Here’s one way to reduce global warming: inject huge amounts of sulfur into the atmosphere. So says Professor Tim Flannery, an Australian sustainability activist. What’s the best way to accomplish that? Add sulfur to jet fuel. The atmosphere would then repel a portion of the sun’s rays, leading to an effect called “solar dimming.” Oh, by the way: As a side effect, the planet’s sky would probably turn yellow -- a rather extreme shift, Flannery acknowledges, but necessary if we want to save the environment.

Are you contemplating an equally drastic step in your own personal sphere, Pisces? Before you decide to go in that direction, why not try a series of smaller, incremental actions with less dramatic consequences?
