Important things you should know!

Just a friendly reminder that you only have another few days — until April 26 — to register your votes online at connectsavannah.com in our annual Best of Savannah readers poll.

The annual Best of Savannah issue itself hits stands May 20.

I have another exciting announcement to make: In our next issue, the one hitting stands April 29, you can begin reading the weekly wine and food columns of the renowned “Savannah Foodie” himself, Tim Rutherford, formerly of Savannah Magazine, Savannah Morning News, and savannahfoodie.com fame.

This is not only a great development for Connect Savannah, but one I take a lot of personal pleasure in as well. I worked alongside Tim at the Morning News during one of my stints there — about 11 years ago, to date myself — and very much look forward to working with him once again.

I learned the hard way a long time ago that the only way to properly pull off a cuisine section in this paper is to have a food writer whose credentials are more or less unassailable.

Otherwise, frankly, restaurant coverage can be more of a liability than an asset.

Rutherford’s reputation precedes him, and I’m happy to say I have no more worries in that department. And more importantly, Connect readers finally get the food section they deserve, in a market where the explosion of great cuisine offerings gets bigger every day.

On a much less happy note, it’s with sadness that we received the news that the local theatre company Cardinal Rep (formerly Savannah Actor’s Theatre) is closing up shop.

They mark their farewell this weekend with a special reprise of the very first show they put on in Savannah, An Apology for the Course and Outcome of Certain Events Delivered by Doctor John Faustus on This his Final Evening.

This news, while unfortunate, does have a bittersweet quality and a certain silver lining.

As soon as the curtain goes down on Cardinal Rep, the Little Theatre of Savannah will take over the space at the old Freight Station on Louisville Road.

To read a complete account by Linda Sickler, go to connectsavannah.com.

Cardinal Rep founder Ryan McCurdy says he plans to leave town to seek new opportunities. I wish Ryan all the best and thank him for the important work he’s done helping to build up the whole Savannah theatre scene in his comparatively short time here. His impact will continue to be felt long after he leaves. cs

Editor, Recent tragic events in the American landscape illustrate that the unraveling of the economy and the loss of jobs and savings have brought an attendant horror of mass murder and revolting violence.

In Alabama, New York and Pennsylvania the sickening tableau of laid-off workers or someone struggling with the difficulty of making a living or simply viewing their lives as threatened with failure — coupled with the powerful allure of firearms as the ultimate weapon of problem solving — has left families and communities reeling with grief and shock at the unimaginable loss of loved ones.

The dead include police officers, immigrants receiving aid in English instruction, and elderly infirm patients in a nursing home, some suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. In the latter case those patients already suffering from the

terror of the dissolution of their identity were further terrorized by a gunman who then took his own life.

For those immigrants who had come to America with such high hopes for their futures, what must the survivors think of their adopted country now?

A more important question is: What do we who are born and raised here think of the country we have become?

The wanton nature of the violence speaks for itself. These were acts of depravity from individuals who were each desperate or plain vicious in their own way. Yet we must ask the tough questions of ourselves and the society we have fashioned and not dodge the larger issues because we recognize the acts and the actors as insane.

At least one conclusion we can all agree on is that these men should not have had access to guns of any kind for any reason. However, there is a thriving industry of lobbyists led by the National Rifle Association and other groups

focused nearly exclusively on their sacrosanct vision of the Second Amendment that work to defeat any rational curb on the easy availability of firearms to any buyer that clears the minimal standards they have fought relentlessly to impose on the nation.

Recently Wayne LaPierre, president of the NRA, attacked the notion that the majority of weapons destabilizing Mexican society had origins in the U.S. He further warned of secret plans of our government to use the growing violence along our border as a ruse to clamp down on gun sales.

For the record, I am a hunter and gun owner. Having spent considerable time with gun owners and fellow hunters, I have come in contact with a range of individuals, mostly men, who own weapons for a variety of reasons from those similar to myself who use guns mainly as tools for hunting, to some who like to collect older weapons for keepsakes or investments, and a decided minority who believe that a citizenry armed

to the teeth with any weapon they choose is necessary to keep a dangerous government at bay.

I have never subscribed to the last view, believing instead that an active and informed democracy is the best answer to an overbearing government.

The suspicion that our government will confiscate our hunting rifles and shotguns is stupid beyond belief in my opinion.

Who will come after our guns?

Surveys have overwhelmingly shown that both law enforcement and military personnel by huge majorities favor private gun ownership. That leaves only those mythical individuals in black helicopters, that so far have not been found or identified, as the greatest threat to gun ownership.

The vast majority of gun owners I have known are responsible and safe in their handling of firearms.

I have never witnessed anybody threaten another person with a gun, and those few times an individual exhibited carelessness

with a weapon it was brought to their attention by others present and the behavior stopped.

Yet no amount of responsible gun owners can compensate for the violence being visited on America by the clearly deranged minority of gun nuts destroying lives and communities across the nation.

The recent tragic events raise disturbing questions as to what we the people are going to do with this monster we’ve created and allowed to grow to monstrous proportion in our midst. How many Columbines and Virginia Techs do we need to break the pathological grip of the gun lobby on the nation’s throat?

The murder of three police officers in Pittsburgh displayed the result of the fear mongering of the NRA and their acolytes since the presidential election.

The gun lobby has fomented fear among their most ardent supporters that the Obama administration was planning to deploy a wide variety of bans on gun ownership from automatic weapons, semi–automatic assault rifles, and several types of ammunition commonly

used by hunters.

This past hunting season I ran into a friend in an outfitter store who was stacking several boxes of thirty caliber shells in his arms. He explained that Obama was going to raise the price on this caliber to effectively make it impractical for hunters to purchase.

I laughed at the time and said how amazing what with the melting of the world economy that he had the time to think of such a scheme. It is no laughing matter.

The gunman who murdered the police officers, armed with an assault rifle and an armored vest, used the very same rationale prior to killing those men. Furthermore, many right–wing zealots like Chuck Norris and Glenn Beck are openly questioning how long “real Americans” are going to tolerate an Obama administration without resorting to an armed insurrection, a Second American Revolution.

I shudder to think where all this is heading. So much of the fabric that united us in the past has become frayed by the unrelenting assault of special interest groups focusing on narrow issues

that are used to hyper–inflate a stunted identity of who we are as a people.

Those that seek so rabidly to alarm us must be confronted with the bitter fruit of their labors. The murders of the three police officers represent nothing less than the ideological chickens of the radical right coming home to roost.

The ranting of Beck and Norris and others found fertile ground in the sick mind of one who took their insinuations to his logical and depraved end.

Hunters need to realize that gun nuts are pure poison for our future. Hunting is about much more than mere killing.

For most of us hunting is all about connections.

We get to know the animals we hunt and what they require to thrive. We value their lives and the gifts they add to ours.

The earliest hunters bequeathed a rich legacy of art and spirituality in the caves of France depicting the wildlife they hunted in stunning, elegant forms.

It’s abundantly clear they revered the life they took and felt a kinship with the spirit of the animals.

Hunting was the font from which art

and religion flowed. In contrast, the violence we are witnessing springs from alienation and isolation, a desert of the heart.

As with the gun lobby and those they have deluded, our deeds also speak for themselves — only our deeds are a legacy to treasure and pass to future generations. Hunters have done more to preserve habitat for wildlife, safeguard watersheds, impart a love of nature and yes, even the animals we kill than any other segment of the population.

All the good we have accomplished is now at risk because of a radical few who hide among us and seek political cover in our ranks. I believe we must state firmly that we do not need the likes of the gun lobby to defend hunters.

Most importantly we must declare that we in no way share their vision of America which is grounded in paranoia and not patriotism. The future they advocate where our grandchildren will attend church and school under arms is an abomination.

If we continue to follow their lead the American dream will be a nightmare.

Tybee turtle time

Trot will kick-off the 2009 sea turtle nesting season

Blizzard and Snowball are two lucky turtles.

After being cold–stunned off the North Carolina coast, the loggerhead turtles were taken to the Georgia Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island for treatment. Now that they’ve recovered, Blizzard and Snowball will be returned to sea when they’re released April 25 at the end of the 2009 Tybee Turtle Trot.

Dr. Terry L. Norton is the director of the Georgia Sea Turtle Center. The turtles were sent to the center last December after the water temperature got below 50 degrees. Turtles are cold– blooded, which means they depend on external sources for heat.

“When they get into cold water, they sort of shut down,” Norton says. “The folks in North Carolina got overwhelmed with too many turtles, so they sent them to us.”

A green turtle named Chilly Willy also made the trip. Cold–stunning can result in serious conditions such as pneumonia and bone infections, but all three turtles responded very well to treatment.

The center, which opened in June 2007, has plenty of other patients.

“Right now, we have the most we’ve ever had,” Norton says A lot of turtles have been treated in less than two years. “We’ve had 354 turtles in 14 different species,” Norton says. “We’ve released 188. Right now, we have about 70 turtles at the center.”

Of those, 60 percent are loggerheads and 30 percent are green turtles.

Turtle treatment can be tricky, Norton says. “It definitely requires a saltwater tank, which is why there aren’t many facilities,” he says. “You have to have staff with expertise. We’ve done a lot of innovative stuff.”

Most turtles at the center are being treated for injuries. A major area of concern is the increase of turtles with boat–propeller and ship–strike injuries.

Some that come in are called “floaters” because they can’t dive. Norton says those turtles may have air in their body cavity, which can be caused by a tear in a lung from a boat strike or other trauma, pneumonia or a blockage in the gastrointestinal tract.

“We’ve seen two turtles who couldn’t open their mouths, and we suspect red–tide toxicity,” Norton says. “We also see a lot of turtles that have been hit by cars.”

Others suffer from Debilitated Sea Turtle Syndrome. “Often times, we don’t get to the bottom of that,” Norton says.

“We’ve had a recent event with juvenile green turtles from St. Augustine up to St. Simons. We’ve had 10–15 come in in the last month and half, which is really unusual.”

Some of the turtles have organisms growing on their shells. “One came in with over a pound of sea squirts on its shell,” Norton says. “We’ve been able to turn those around, but we’re still investigating the cause.”

More information about the center can be found at www.georgiaseaturtlecenter.org. The center also does interactive education, going to schools and encouraging visitors to come to the center.

“We recommend people coming to see all the turtles,” Norton says. “We have an elevated walkway, so it’s not like people can touch the turtles, but they are visible. There are windows so people can see into the hospital. Usually, people are very excited when they come.”

Mark Dodd is a wildlife biologist and coordinator of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Sea Turtle Program. “The primary species we consider our turtles in Georgia are loggerheads,” he says.

Over the past 40 years, the loggerhead turtle has declined 1.2 percent annually. “In South Florida, their population is declining pretty dramatically,” Dodd says. “We’ve sustained a long–term decline, but our population seems to have stabilized.”

There are a lot of threats to sea turtles. “The primary threat is commercial fishing,” Dodd says. “Once we had a large shrimp fleet and the turtles would drown in the nets.

“In the early 90s, shrimpers were required to use a turtle exclusion device that helps turtles escape,” he says. “They

weren’t as efficient as we’d hoped they would be, so we still had some mortalities.”

A hatchling may emerge in Georgia, but is unlikely to stay. “They spend a lot of time in areas outside our area of jurisdiction,” Dodd says. “The small hatchlings spend 10 to 15 years out in the ocean, outside U.S. territorial waters. There are many threats from commercial fishing activities.”

Outside the U.S., swordfish and tuna fishing are largely responsible for turtle mortality. “When they come back to us as juveniles, they run into the shrimping industry,” Dodd says. “Other threats include coastal development and loss of nesting habitat. We’re seeing an increasing number of turtles wash up with propeller wounds.”

The Georgia DNR sponsors a conservation program with several components, including nest protection and management. “We coordinate a group of 13 nest protection projects,” Dodd says.

“On all the barrier island beaches, we have people who survey the nesting activity. Once they locate a nest, they mark it and protect it during the incubation period.

“Once they hatch, they dig up the nest and determine how successful it was,” Dodd says. “They’ve done an excellent job collecting data to access the population status.”

The DNR is trying to make sure that turtle reproduction is successful enough for the population to recover.

Research is being conducted to learn where turtles go and what they interact with. Volunteers on Tybee Island will start surveying beaches on May 1, Dodd says.

Loggerheads that manage to avoid disaster can grow to weigh 200 pounds.

Scientists aren’t sure how old they can get, although there are some clues.

“From genetic research, we know there are some mother and daughter pairs on the Georgia coast,” Dodd says.

“They’re not reproducing actively until age 35, so if one female deposits an egg and it grows up and starts nesting, the older turtle must be at least 65 to 70 years old. Based on what we’ve seen with other turtles, they probably live a lot longer.”

The Turtle Trot is an exciting event because it celebrates the conservation of loggerheads. “It’s a hopeful time,” Dodd says. “It takes a long time see the fruit of our work. It’s heartening to see an increase in nesting. The Turtle Trot is sort of a celebration of that.”

Sea turtle activity is monitored from May 1 through Oct. 31. Volunteers called cooperators conduct daily Dawn Patrols at 6 a.m. to look for evidence of turtle activity.

Sea turtle crawls, or tracks, are an indication that a turtle may have nested.

When a viable nest is confirmed, it is roped off and posted.

In 2007, cooperators on Tybee Island monitored 11 nests. Out of 1,183 eggs, 1,021 sea turtles hatched and 935 hatchlings made their way to the sea. The remaining 86 hatchlings were disoriented by artificial light, and crawled The sex of loggerhead turtle hatchlings is temperature dependant. Warmer temperature will produce female hatchlings and cooler temperatures will produce male hatchlings.

The eggs incubate for about two months. Once the hatchlings emerge, they head to the water where they spend up to seven years drifting, feeding on plankton and plants in the oceans of the world.

The 5th Annual 2009 Tybee Turtle Trot will be held April 25 in front of the Tybee Island Marine Science Center. Sign–in starts at 7 a.m. and the run/walk begins at 8 a.m. The sea turtle release will be held about 10 a.m.

Case Veterinary Hospital has been caring for Savannah pets for the past century

by Linda Sickler | linda@connectsavannah.com

Dr. Erle Glenwood Case would be astonished to see what’s happened to the Savannah veterinary practice he founded back in 1909.

Although Erle was quite progressive for his day, he’d marvel at the technology available to veterinarians in 2009.

He’d be pleased beyond measure that his descendants have carried on the family business, which today has six veterinarians, 30 employees and hundreds of patients.

Dr. Carla Case–McCorvey represents the fourth generation of vets in the family. With her father, Dr. Jerry L. Case, she owns and operates the Case Veterinary Hospital on Eisenhower Drive.

On April 25, the hospital will host a birthday celebration, complete with birthday cake and all kinds of activities, to thank Savannahians for their business over the last century. Displays will include a replica of a 1930s–50s veterinary surgical suite, including an old surgical table.

Erle started out as a grammar school teacher, but later decided to attend veterinary school in Ontario, Canada.

When he received an offer of employment from a veterinarian in Savannah, he used all his money to pay his way.

“When he first got to River Street, he witnessed a fight,” Case–McCorvey says. “Then when he got to the clinic, the veterinarian said, ‘I’m sorry. Business has been slow, and I can’t afford to

they sleep in a bed, they go on vacation, they’re even in family portraits.”

Erle was unique not just because he treated small animals, but also because he was the first – and only – vet in town with a degree.

“My great– grandfather was really progressive for the early 1900s,” Case–McCorvey says. “He sent postcards to his clients to remind them it was time for an appointment, which was unheard of back then.

“He had an ambulance,” she says.

“He advertised his practice on the side of it. Vets didn’t advertise then and it was considered somewhat unethical to advertise. Now we have to advertise.”

A display features Erle’s microscope in its original case. “They don’t make veterinary students buy their own microscopes now, but they used to,” Case–McCorvey says.

An old drug case that predates penicillin also is displayed, with the original sulfa drug vials inside – a reminder of a time when drug treatments were limited. “I call it ‘hair of the dog, eye of

hire you.’”

It wasn’t much of a welcome, but Erle couldn’t afford passage home. He went to the two other veterinarians who were practicing at that time to ask for work. “One told him, ‘If you agree not to bother my large animal practice, you can treat dogs and cats,’” Case–McCorvey says.

In those days, vets usually worked only with large animals, but the number of small animals being brought in for care was starting to grow. So Erle set up shop in a stall to treat the dogs and barn cats the farmers’ wives were bringing in. “The other vet thought they were a bother,” Case–McCorvey says.

Later, Erle was able to set up his own practice, and spent half his time treating dogs and cats. “We like to think he was the first small animal vet in Savannah,” Case–McCorvey says.

The biggest change in veterinary care since Erle’s day is the status of animals, Case–McCorvey says. Most animals in 1909 were required to work to put food on their owners’ tables.

“Even horses were not as much pets as transportation,” Case–McCorvey says. “Some people had pets, but they were considered eccentric. Now pets are part of the family. They live inside,

the newt,’” Case–McCorvey says.

Two of Erle’s sons became veterinarians, but while Harland moved to California, his brother, Francis Horace Case, stayed with the family practice in Savannah. “My grandfather went to Auburn University because the University of Georgia had closed because of World War II,” Case–McCorvey says.

Francis died in 2002, and remained active in the practice until his death.

“He was able to attend my graduation, which was very important to me,” Case–McCorvey says.

For many years, Case Veterinary truly involved the entire family –– and only the family. “My grandfather and

tion. She was filling out an application for veterinary school, and wanted his opinion on an essay question.

“I was surprised,” Case says. “I said, ‘When did you decide to go to vet school?’ She said, ‘I always thought you knew I wanted to go vet school.’

Kenneth Weaver became the first non–family employee in 1978. He was still in high school when he began working at the hospital through a work–study program.

Today, Weaver is a certified veterinary technician and after more than 30 years, still loves his job. “He’s been here

since I was in second grade,” Case–McCorvey says.

“When she grows up, I can leave,” Weaver responds with a laugh.

With her own children – Amelia, 5, and Carson, 3 — Case–McCorvey is hopeful that at least one of them will want to become a veterinarian. They already accompany her to work.

A series of events are being held to mark the hospital’s 100th birthday.

“We marched in the St. Patrick’s Day parade and won the Chairman’s Award,” Case–McCorvey says. “We had an old ambulance and a float with a big birthday cake.”

Everyone is very excited about the birthday party, Case–McCorvey says. It will include a teddy bear clinic, where children can bring a favorite toy for treatment.

Up next is the making of a documentary. “We’re doing it for ourselves, for us to have a documentary for our family, and it’s also a history of veterinary medicine,” Case–McCorvey says.

If anyone has a memory or story to share about Case Veterinary, especially Francis Case or Erle Case, they are

asked to call 352–3081 and speak with Case–McCorvey or hospital administrator Lisa Yackel.

Case Veterinary Hospital is the only veterinary practice worldwide with four successive generations of the family who work there as veterinarians. Case–McCorvey has learned that there are older practices and some with three generations of the same family by checking North American Veterinary Association medical records and contacting organizations worldwide. There are no other four–generation animal hospitals, at least none that have come forward.

It’s a legacy that might be carried through the fifth generation and beyond. “So far, it’s always been the youngest child in the family who becomes a veterinarian,” Case–McCorvey says. “And I get to be the first girl!” cs Case Veterinary’s 100th Birthday Party When: April 25, 1–4pm.

dad were the veterinarians,” Case–McCorvey says. “My grandmother was the bookkeeper and receptionist, and my mother was a receptionist and technician. When I was young, there wasn’t anyone who wasn’t family.”

Case–McCorvey has fond memories of her grandmother, Christine, caring for her when she was sick. “When I got sick at school, I couldn’t go home,” she says. “They kept a cot in the office.

I remember my grandmother being there and bringing me a drink when I needed it.”

Case–McCorvey’s father and her mother, Gail, were busy with the patients at the time. “My dad used to do a lot of work at Oatland Island,” Case–McCorvey says. “I remember him bringing some bear cubs here.

They were cute, but they were mean.”

When Case was a child, the family lived over their clinic, which was located on Ash Street. “I worked around the clinic after school,” he says.

“I never considered doing anything else.

I was surprised I would actually have to apply to become a veterinarian.

“My dad just sort of always played me along, like a fish,” Case says. “If I got to asking questions, he’d say, ‘That’s premature. You’ll find out in veterinary school.’ It was a fascinating way to grow up.”

Sing-a-long with Spanky?

Mondays can be slow in the bar business, but busy or not, Mondays at Southside Spanky’s are always humming. And singing.

For at least the past 8 years, the bar and restaurant next to Oglethorpe Mall has been serenaded weekly by a dozen or so men, mostly in their 70’s or older, all members of a barbershop singing group — the Thirteenth Colony Sound Chorus & Quartets.

Each week the “barber shoppers” fill a large table, sipping Killian’s draft and enjoying a late dinner after their weekly rehearsals. They visit. They tell corny G–rated jokes. And every few minutes a pitch pipe sounds a solo note and they break into an old timey song, a cappella, in traditional four–part harmony.

“I didn’t know about barbershop quartet before,” said Po Lin, longtime Monday night bartender at Spanky’s. “I think it’s pretty cool, myself.”

A minute later, a deep bass “bom– –bom bom––bomm” launched the table of thirteen singers into “Under the Boardwalk.” Instantly, other voices joined in — Lin as he poured a drink, a foursome seated by the window, a teacher named Randall grading papers at the bar, and me. Elijah, the bar back, whistled along on Verse Two while restocking glasses. I thought I’d stepped into an MGM musical.

“Through the years the members have changed,” said Lin, as “Lida Rose” from “The Music Man” wafted across the dining room. “Once in a while they have female groupies. Some come with them, sometimes they call in to see if the singers are here. They’ve only missed five or six Monday nights in the last seven or eight years. That’s due to natural disasters or something.”

Last Monday night proves this point.

Despite tornado warnings, heavy rains and flooded streets early that evening, by 9 p.m., the barbershoppers were there seeking libation and sustenance after a lengthy rehearsal for this weekend’s performance, Barber of Seville, Georgia.

Set in a fictional South Georgia village, the “musical spoof ” uses classic songs to dramatize the conflict between neighboring “dry” and “wet” counties, whose county line runs through the middle of a barbershop.

“Not that the story is very important,” said Milt Johnson, reached by phone last week, described as the baritone mentor of the barbershop group. “We’re having some fun with it.”

The point of the performances is to showcase half a dozen a cappella groups in Savannah: the Thirteenth Colony Quartets; the Moon River Chorus–the women’s division of the Thirteenth Colony Sound; the Sacred Harp Singers, a shape note group; and three groups from Savannah Arts Academy.

Barber of Seville, Georgia is the group’s 2008 Fall Show, postponed from last year due to renovations of the performance venue, AASU’s Fine Arts Center. The delay hasn’t slowed the group, whose upcoming schedule includes singing the Star Spangled Banner at two Sand Gnats games, appearances by several of the group’s quartets at events around the region, delivering singing telegrams, and planning their 2009 Fall Show, “And the Angels Sing.”

Back at Spanky’s, chorus president Robert Kearns sounded the pitch pipe and called the next song–“Zip Zip!” With accompanying synchronized arm movements, the men eased into Jiminy Cricket’s signature “Zippity Doo Dah.” Kearns said the delay of Barber of Seville isn’t a problem for the group.

“We’ve known these songs so long we’ve forgotten them again.”

Indeed, only two at the table referred to song sheets. One is a longtime member with rehearsal schedule conflicts, and the other is the newest group member, bass singer Nathan Daniel. At age 23, he’s the youngest singer by 40 to 50 years.

“Nathan’s got most of his music memorized,” said Kearns, with a paternal pat on Daniel’s shoulder. “I’m very proud of him. I’m thinking of adopting him if I can afford it.”

“Last spring I heard them at Spanky’s.

I was having a beer with a buddy,” said Daniel, a SCAD animation graduate.

“They came in and started singing. One guy gave me his card, and the rest is history.” cs Barber of Seville, Georgia is this Friday, April 24 and Saturday, April 25 at 7:30 p.m.

The Southeast Bruise Leader

Police were called to the WTOC–TV newsroom on April 9 in response to a battery. At the scene, an officer was told by anchor Mike Manhatton that the suspect and victim had gotten into a fight in the newsroom.

The officer first spoke with the suspect, Michael B. Bougeau, and asked him what had happened. “I took an ass–beating,” Bougeau replied.

He said Andrew Johnson called him a “bitch” then “attacked” him. Bougeau had a swollen eye and was bleeding heavily, so he was transported by Southside EMS to St. Joseph’s hospital for treatment.

Johnson said he was in the break room when Bougeau began yelling for him over the intercom. Bougeau then found Johnson in the breakroom, and the yelling continued. Johnson walked to the newsroom 100 yards away, with the suspect following, still

yelling. Both were face to face when Johnson said Bougeau “poked” him in the face.

Johnson hit Bougeau to defend himself, sustaining a possible broken hand.

Manhatton and co–anchor Dawn Baker confirmed Johnson’s story. Both said the suspect is a “hothead.”

Johnson said he didn’t want to press charges, but preferred that station administrators handle the situation.

• A Shott Avenue resident reported the theft of her alligator–skin wallet to police.

She said she left the wallet on her bed, and when she returned, it was gone.

The wallet contained her ID, social security card, credit cards and about $100 in cash. She said she left it to go to the bathroom, and was gone from her room only a few minutes. Four other people live at the residence. The woman said she waited to call until Monday to report the theft because she didn’t realize the police took reports on the weekend.

• The science wing of Jenkins High School was evacuated of April 16 after a teacher discovered an unknown substance in the sink of a science lab. The substance

was later identified as mercury.

Savannah firefighters were dispatched shortly before 2pm. and immediately requested the evacuation of all students and staff. The wing was closed and the room with the mercury was isolated.

A Savannah Fire Department HazMat team entered the room and identified the substance as a small amount of mercury. It was discovered during a lunch period when no students were present.

The HazMat team scanned the room and sink and found the vapor levels to be well below the EPD’s established standards for action. School officials dismissed most students, but about 30 were assembled outside the school to be checked by the HazMat team. No elevated levels of mercury were found on any of the students or staff members.

An environmental clean–up company was called to the scene. Classes resumed Friday, but the classroom that contained the mercury was kept closed until it could

be reinspected by firefighters on Sunday.

• The Summit County Medical Examiner’s Office in Akron, Ohio, is looking for family and friends of Willie Lee Johnson, 54, a former Savannah resident.

Officials say Johnson died recently in Ohio, but they don’t know how to contact his family.

Johnson was born in Savannah on Sept. 18, 1954, and was honorably discharged from the U.S. Marine Corps in 1976.

According to Dr. Dorothy Dean, Johnson’s girlfriend told them he was originally from Savannah, but she couldn’t provide names of relatives. Johnson died of natural causes and survivors may be beneficiaries of his veteran’s benefits.

If you have information about Johnson or his family, call 330–643–2101. cs

the straight dope

I recently heard a rumor that sugar processed from beets contains traces of a poison used as a combat weapon in World War II. Is this true? What’s the difference between beet sugar and cane sugar, anyway? — tomlobur A good rumor, which this is, is like an Indiana Jones movie. There’s a grain of truth, life and death are at stake, and you know Nazis are somehow involved.

First the scholarly intro. Prussic acid, better (and more scarily) known as hydrogen cyanide, is a toxic chemical that kills through metabolic asphyxiation, meaning it destroys your body’s ability to use oxygen. You can be poisoned by inhaling it, eating it, or absorbing it through your skin. It’s widely found in nature: many plant seeds, including apple seeds, cherry and peach pits, and bitter almonds, contain amygdalin, which metabolizes into cyanide if the seeds are eaten.

Prussic acid is also a by-product of beet sugar production, and a method of obtaining the chemical from beetmolasses wastewater (the liquid left over after you get the sugar out) was patented in 1915. Although prussic acid has its benign uses, its most infamous application was as the main ingredient in Zyklon B, the Nazi death camp gas.

Developed as a pesticide, Zyklon B was manufactured during World War II by the German company Dessauer Werke für Zucker und Chemische Industrie (Dessau Works for the Sugar and Chemical Industry). It sold Zyklon B to another firm, Degussa, which put it into the distribution chain that got it into the hands of the SS. In an effort to come clean about its past, in 1998 Degussa commissioned Northwestern University historian Peter Hayes to examine the company’s Nazi connections. His findings are summarized at degussa-history.com.

“By 1936,” the site notes, “Dessauer Werke . . . was the only manufacturer of [Zyklon B]. The prussic acid required

came from Dessauer Schlempe GmbH, which extracted the highly poisonous substance from the waste produced when processing sugar beet.” Though 99 percent of the Zyklon B produced during WWII was used for delousing and other pest control, Hayes concludes that the SS used the remaining 1 percent to murder about a million people.

The Nazis weren’t the first to see prussic acid’s potential as an agent of mass slaughter. The chemical had been used as a weapon in World War I by the French and, some claim, by the Japanese against China around the start of WWII. So does all this mean there’s cyanide in the beet sugar we eat? Try to keep up—prussic acid is a by-product of beet sugar refining, not the product.

Here’s a useful little test: last time you ate anything containing beet sugar, did you turn blue and die? If not, don’t worry. Sublethal cyanide doses such as are found in seeds and pits (and for the sake of argument, beet sugar) are detoxified by the body and excreted; the stuff doesn’t accumulate.

What’s the difference between cane sugar and beet sugar? A perfectly accurate answer is “not much”—table sugar is 99.95 percent or more pure sucrose, which is chemically the same whether it comes from cane or beets. However, since commercial advantage is at stake, you do get people arguing about the significance of the .05 percent.

The real question is whether cooks see any difference between beet and cane. Food staffers at the San Francisco Chronicle did some head-to-head testing in 1999 and reported that cane made significantly better cookies and subtly better pound cake. They also had real trouble getting crème brûlée to caramelize properly with beet sugar, ending up with burnt topping instead.

Always game for an experiment, particularly when it involves food, my assistants Una and Fierra spent a night preparing crème brûlée: three batches with beet sugar, three with cane. Result: The beet and cane versions were indistinguishable in appearance, but the cane batches tasted sweeter, their caramelized topping especially.

It was a Pepsi vs. Coke difference, though: while Una preferred the ones made with cane sugar, Fierra fancied the faintly bitter bite of the beet. cs By cecil adams Comments, questions? Take it up with Cecil on the Straight Dope Message Board, straightdope.com.

When Alcoa Inc. prepared to build an aluminum smelting plant in Iceland in 2004, the government forced it to hire an expert to assure that none of the country’s legendary “hidden people” lived underneath the property. The elf-like goblins provoke genuine apprehensiveness in many of the country’s 300,000 natives (who are all, reputedly, related by blood). An Alcoa spokesman told Vanity Fair writer Michael Lewis (for an April 2009 report) that the inspection (which delayed construction for six months) was costly but necessary: “(W)e couldn’t be in the position of acknowledging the existence of hidden people.” (Lewis offered several explanations for the country’s spectacular financial implosion in 2008, including Icelanders’ incomprehensible superiority complex that convinced many lifelong fishermen that they were gifted investment bankers.)

Officials told the Washington Post that birth-control pills are particularly objectionable because they countermand the school system’s “abstinence-only” sex education classes.

• Bad Decisions: (1) Chrysler Corp. may be on its last legs as a stand-alone company, but that did not stop its representatives from disrupting a funeral proceeding in Cranbury, N.J., in March to subpoena the corpse (which the company said is relevant to a pending lawsuit over mesothelioma). (2) Joseph Milano, owner of Goomba’s Pizza in Palm Coast, Fla., was in the federal witness protection program for squealing on Bonanno crime family members in New York but lost his anonymity in January when he was arrested for allegedly pistol-whipping a customer who had dared to criticize his calzone.

Feral Americans

(1) Sheila Bolar, 49, was arrested after biting a transit driver because she wanted to ride only a “hybrid” bus (New York City, January). (2) Aleyda Uceta, 30, was arrested for biting her son’s principal during a parent-principal conference (Providence, R.I., March).

(3) Curtis Cross was arrested for allegedly biting off another motorist’s ear in a road rage incident (New Castle, Ind., April). (4) Lyndel Toppin, 50, bit down on his fiancee’s arm, resulting in nerve damage, because she had arranged the cheese incorrectly on his meatball sandwich (Philadelphia, April). (5) Blaine Milam, 19, and Jessica Carson, 18, were arrested for performing an exorcism on their baby daughter that resulted in 20 bite marks (Rusk County, Texas, December).

Least Competent People

During an April Texas House committee hearing (according to a Houston Chronicle report), state Rep. Betty Brown suggested a solution to the voter-registration confusion caused by Chinese-Americans’ Anglicizing their names (which yields nonstandard spellings): “Do you think that it would behoove you and your citizens,” she asked a Chinese-American activist, “to adopt (names) that we (lawmakers) could deal with more readily here?” cs By chuck shepherd UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

earthweek www.connectsavannah.com/earthweek Sudden Sea Rise Sea levels have the potential to rise 10 feet in far less than a century due to climate change, according to a recent study of coral beds in Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula. Writing in the journal Nature, Paul Blanchon of the University of Mexico says such a scenario is possible within the next 100 years, reshaping coastlines while also causing economic and social chaos.

During a study of an area excavated for a theme park, Blanchon found evidence of sudden jumps in ocean water marks preserved in the fossilized remains of coral reefs. He determined that a dramatic rise in sea levels occurred 121,000 years ago during the last interglacial period. Most climate experts had assumed that significant ocean rises occur over millennia. But the coral clearly shows that oceans rose 6.6 to 10 feet within 50 to 100 years, Blanchon writes. Such a rise today due would inundate coastal cities like London, New York, Tokyo and Calcutta.

Earthquakes A strong aftershock of Italy’s devastating April 6 temblor rocked a wide area, including Rome, 65 miles away. The 4.8 magnitude shaking was one of

Seal Hunt Launched Canadian seal hunters hit the ice for the main phase of the annual slaughter of up to 280,000 baby seals in Quebec and Newfoundland. The hunt coincided this year with record low prices for seal pelts. Hunters who club the juvenile aquatic mammals will be lucky to be paid a quarter of what they received two years ago due to a slump in the fur market and an expected ban on seal products in the European Union.

A Kenyan man is lucky to be alive after being captured and nearly eaten by a large python, which he says he had to bite during a three-hour attempt to free himself. Ben Nyaumbe, a farm manager near Malindi, first encountered the 13foot snake when he felt something spongy beneath his foot. The Daily Nation reports the python

quickly coiled itself around Nyaumbe as he bit the snake in desperation. Once the python dragged Nyaumbe up a tree, he was able to reach his cell phone and call a friend, who arrived with police within minutes. As Nyaumbe smothered the snake’s head with his shirt, the rescuers tied a rope around the serpent and pulled it and its prey to the ground. Nyaumbe survived with only damaged lips and bruising.

The snake was taken to a nearby sanctuary, but escaped within hours. cs

There are two chances to catch them this weekend. First, they’ll play a free “Pops on The River” show downtown featuring works by Johnny Mercer, Leroy Anderson and George Gershwin (and cap that off with a fireworks display set to patriotic tunes), and conveniently, two days later their ticketed, indoor “Ed and Friends” concert (with a similar setlist) takes place on the Southside. Either one of these thrilling, accomplished recitals is bound to delight and entrance young and old alike.

Held in tandem with St. Joseph’s/Candler Hospital and the Thunderbolt Fire Dept., the musical party also includes sets by rising Athens, Ga. band Lullwater, Florence, S.C.’s buzzworthy group Sequoyah Prep School, as well as regional singer–songwriters Jason Courtenay and Jared Wade, Adam Wilson and Caleb Grimes.

Robin & Linda Williams Stones in the Road. Chart–topping Although this husband–and– wife duo have been performing since 1971, it was their appearance on Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion radio show (the first of countless such guest slots to come) in 1976 that first put them on the international map.

They’ve since toured with Mary Chapin Carpenter and added their trademark vocal harmonies to her Grammy–winning album

Americana artists in their own right, they appeared alongside Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline and others in the late Robert Altman’s filmic adaptation of Keillor’s beloved variety show broadcast, and have wowed audiences at such esteemed venues and outlets as The Grand Ole Opry, Austin City Limits, Music City Tonight and Mountain Stage. This gig finds them getting up close and

personal with right at 100 lucky audience members in a smoke and alcohol–free, family–oriented acoustic listening room just a few minutes outside of Savannah.

‘I’m hoping we can go at things without a net’ Widespread Panic’s Jimmy Herring brings his own band to the Trustees

Since first turning heads in the late ‘80s as a founding member of Col. Bruce Hampton’s Aquarium Rescue Unit, Jimmy Herring has become something of the go–to guy when heavyweight acts such as the Allmans, Phil Lesh & Friends, The Grateful Dead and Widespread Panic — with whom he’s held down the role of lead guitarist since late 2006—are in need of a killer collaborator.

Steve Morse was a key influence on you.

Jimmy Herring: I got turned on to him when I was about 17, and at the time, you know, Southern music was pretty popular. Some people from up north and other places would make fun of it, because, I guess Southern rock kind of became a category. But when I came upon the Dixie Dregs’ What If album — that was a mind boggling, life changing record! It was undeniably Southern, but very intelligent music.

It hit me right between the eyes, man!

I was blown away by how many styles you’d find on each album the Dregs did: there’d be a classical tune, a funk fusion tune, some hardcore rock and roll and even some stuff that was like electronic chamber music. I was a complete Dregs addict! They set me on a path and made me seek out musicians that played with a certain virtuosity.

Why do you think you have become sort of the first–draft guy when a killer band needs a badass lead player?

Jimmy Herring: (laughs) I’m flattered and unbelievably grateful, but it’s a mystery to me. I’m thrilled to play with anyone who will have me. If anything, working with Bruce Hampton prepared me for life after Bruce. Not just his personality, but the lessons learned along the way. Just endless touring for years, and his tendency to push us to play things we simply hadn’t played the night before. I didn’t even know what a jam–band was till about ten years ago, and I still don’t fully understand what

of the rest of the members. I’d rather be friends with someone than stand over their shoulder and boss them around.

This record was not supposed to be my record. It was supposed to be a new band with me, Derek Trucks, Jeff Sipe and Oteil and Kofi Burbridge. But Derek was in a very busy situation and just couldn’t commit to it. The rest of the guys said you’ve never done your own record and you’re 47 years old. Just do it! (laughs) Panic was taking a little time off, so here we are.

Tell me a bit about what folks in Savannah can expect from this concert. that means. Then it became something of a genre unto itself and that’s hilarious to us! (laughs). Now I’m trying to feel comfortable doing my own album — which I never felt comfortable with before.

Why not?

Jimmy Herring: I just never had the confidence to do it. See, I wrestle on a daily basis with this stuff. Music is a collaborative effort to me. When I was a teenager, I had a band where I was the leader, but I wasn’t the favorite guy

Jimmy Herring: I know there will be a large, open palette for improvisation.

We’ll play songs, but we don’t wanna stop after each one. I’m hoping we can go at things without a net, but still have strong, good songs to fall back on. cs SCAD & Wagatail Presents: The Jimmy Herring Band When: Sun., 8 pm Where: Trustees Theater Cost: $23 – $26 at 525–5050 Info: trusteestheater.com, jimmyherring. net cs

Savannah Philharmonic Chorus interprets pop hits

by Jim Reed | jim.r@connectsavannah.com

In 1966, when Beach Boy and genius pop music composer Brian Wilson described his masterwork LP Smile as a “teenage symphony to God,” he likely envisioned something akin to a massive orchestra and chorus performing each track on that infamously abandoned and ultimately revered record.

It took Wilson almost 40 years to fully realize the majesty of his initial vision, hinted at by the smash No. 1 hit single meant to hype the album’s initial (and later aborted) release, “Good Vibrations.”

Similarly, it’s taken members of the Savannah Philharmonic Chorus several months of rehearsals to prep for their own crack at “Good Vibrations,” as well as Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and hits by the likes of Swedish supergroup ABBA, British Invasion royalty the Beatles and others contemporary icons of the AM and FM dials.

This local ensemble’s unique take on pop music of the ‘60s through the ‘80s will be on display this Friday night at the Trustees Theater when Maestro Peter Shannon trades his baton for a seat behind the keyboards.

Shannon, who’ll play piano and organ —and, who knows, maybe even synthesizer— along with electric bassist Doug Povie, drummer and percussionist Tom Hoffman and electric guitarist Bart Zipperer, is the driving force behind this unique concert, which finds the 90–voice Chorus interpreting

modern styles of music they have never attempted as a group before.

“The whole philosophy is a little bit grand,” admits the always enthusiastic conductor. “Basically, we always offer a high–end product that some people may associate with ‘difficult’ music: things like La Traviata in Italian. This is as much to show Savannah that we’re capable of doing more pop–oriented shows as it is to help open the chorus members’ minds to all sorts of music.”

“Some in the orchestral world are so caught up in the classical realm that it’s easy to ignore the rest of the music world. I got that from my father all the time,” Shannon says. “He’d tell me to ‘turn off that rubbish and listen to some Tchaikovsky!’ It’s been that way for many of us. Yet, there are plenty of amazing pieces of pop music that contain many of the elements we normally associate with classical compositions.”

Shannon hears the complex structure in ABBA songs, for instance. “I can hear it in the vocal harmonies on a tune like ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’ by Queen.”

He says “the cryptic meanings, the excitement, the drama, those are the

Peter Shannon, right, talks to the Chorus at a recent rehearsal

same vital ingredients that make classical music so appealing. The only difference is, these works were written by Elton John or Freddie Mercury or The Beatles! Maybe The Beatles don’t have the certain quality a Mozart symphony has, but for their genre, they’re simply the top of the bus. And people need to have an appreciation for the very best that any given style of music has to offer.”

Shannon says he’s always looking for ways to broaden the horizons of his Chorus members, and he feels taking them outside their comfort zone is a novel way to help them improve their skills at interpreting the classical pieces they are most known for.

“Listen,” he exclaims. “Some people think that when they’re singing classical music that they can get away with doing it in a very straight and boring manner.

I’m saying to hell with that! Beethoven’s Fifth was the rock music of its day!

The crowd was shouting over the first performance.” cs ‘Good Vibrations’: Savannah Philharmonic Chorus with SCAD Honeybees and SSU Concert Choir When: Fri., 8 pm Where: Trustees Theater Cost: $15 – $29 at 525–5050 Info: thesavphilharmonic.org, trusteestheater.com

Gems are found underground Neva Geoffrey plays The Listening Room

You’d likely never know it to meet her in passing, but Savannah resident Neva Geoffrey is a shockingly talented singer–songwriter. album, which appeared in 2007 on the respected indie label Alias Records.

Although Geoffrey had previously experimented with low–fi home recording (including cutting demos which would serve as rough drafts for the fully realized versions on The Days Are Rolling), she describes that CD, tracked at Lexington, Kentucky’s Shangri–La Studios as her “first baby.”

While under–the–radar of most mainstream press, that sleeper gem earned praise from a handful of critics and may make her a secret hero to like– minded souls worldwide — much like the work of some of her own avowed influences, such as Harry Nilsson, Big Star, Nick Drake, Elliot Smith, Aimee Mann and Irma Thomas.

On that internationally distributed album, as well as her more recent home–recorded eponymous EP, Geoffrey’s melodic sound is rooted in a languorous and beguiling approach to sparse and confessional balladry that blends a sultry, highly controlled vocal delivery (at times reminiscent of Natalie

Merchant and at others the late Billie Holiday) with dreamy, jazzy, Brit–pop influenced Americana–lite. Think Norah Jones feting Chris Bell (of “I Am The Comsos” semi–fame) with backing from Calexico or Midlake, and you’ll come close.

Forced piano lessons (from the age of five) provided Geoffrey with the chops required to compose her own material later in life — although she admits that an overseas move in her youth prompted an extended break from formal instruction.

“It’s still thrilling to play classical music,” she offers. “But I see instruments as tools for songwriting more than anything else. What really gets me is finding the right arrangement, or the best four–part (vocal) harmonies.”

When composing and recording, she also draws on a stint as trumpeter in her high school marching band, and “formal studies” on guitar that Geoffrey says start and end with a single pawn shop purchase and actively soaking up “the sounds of the British Invasion.”

Meanwhile, she resides in Savannah, while feeling somewhat removed from our original music community. Though she played in both Athens and Atlanta around the time of The Days Are

Rolling’s release, she’s only performed a couple of low-profile local gigs since moving here.

“I’m using this time to focus on maturing my songwriting more than anything,” she explains, adding, “I think the only people (here) that know I play music are friends I’ve shared my music with.”

This smoke and alcohol–free show opening for up–and–coming Athens jam–band The Incredible Sandwich just may change all that. cs Listening Room presents: Neva Geoffrey When: Fri., 8 pm – ALL–AGES Where: Black Box@S.P.A.C.E.

Born in Syria and raised in Saudi Arabia, this seemingly reserved and rather bewitching young woman studied first in the Arabic school system, and later matriculated under British and American supervision during what she terms her “desert years.”

She allows that it’s hard for her to say just how much —or in what ways— this unorthodox upbringing influenced the keyboard and guitar–based songs she composes today. Yet, says Geoffrey, growing up in a gated compound was a “bittersweet” experience that “shaped me beyond words, and that must have translated musically one way or another.”

Over the past few years, the recent transplant to Savannah (she moved here specifically to study Sound Design at SCAD, after becoming intrigued with acclaimed producer/engineer/musician Jon Brion’s film scoring work) has quietly made inroads into the national underground rock scene, primarily with the release of The Days Are Rolling, her full–length professional debut

‘From India with Ink’

culture

by bertha husband

b.husband-coyne@comcast.net

In 2007 I reviewed an exhibition of wood block prints by students at the Government College of Fine Arts and Crafts in Chennai, India, under the instruction of Marcia Neblett, a SCAD professor, who was there teaching on a Fulbright scholarship for five months.

Those works were the first efforts of these students to master a new technique.

Perhaps because of their general backgrounds in skilled crafts, the prints were technically impressive, but they seemed to me derivative in imagery, relying too much, as I stated in my review, on copying images of “Hindu gods and goddesses, and Indian genre scenes.” Now, 18 months later, an exhibition of new works by these same students show that in the interim they have not only developed inventive and imaginative iconography, but it seems their desire to continue printing coupled with a shortage of the requisite materials, have also led to improvisational techniques.

When Neblett returned from Chennai, she left the students all the woodcutting tools she had brought, with her. But there were not quite enough tools for the number of interested student artists.

Nonplused, Ashok Pachaiyappan cut the woodblock for his new print, “The King,” using a tool he made himself from the metal skeleton of a broken umbrella. Similarly, Yuvaragan Shanmugan produced the double portrait, “Mr. Lincoln/Mr. Obama,” by cutting the image into the block with a nail. The unique texture and light in these two prints would be impossible to achieve with traditional woodworking tools.

Visual Arts

‘Hunting Cat,’ by Prabu Sivalingam

Color printing, which involves additional cutting of the block, registering and printing for each color, was something that Neblett only had time to demonstrate. However, in these intervening months, several of the young artists have mastered the technique; I note particularly Vijay Pichumani’s prints of festival animal dancers. “Cow Dance,” and “Dummy Horse Dance” represent well–known folk performances in which the dancers wear animal costumes. In his “Tiger Dance” the dancer has his face and body painted with the yellow and black stripes of the tiger.

Some of the most interesting and imaginative imagery in the exhibition involves cats. In “Hunting Cat,” Prabu Sivalingam presents us with the face and front claws of a cat perched on top of a wall or fence. The cat has a demonic look, complete with a small horn at the

top of his head and it looks straight at us as though we were the prey. Vijay Pichumani has two cat prints, one titled, “Dream,” in which we see the head of the dreamer/artist from which a mass of cats is emerging, filling the whole large sheet of paper; and in “Mister Meow,” he has developed a very intricate technique for his large cat portrait: he seems first to have drawn hundreds of twisty, gestural ink lines on the block, around which he then painstakingly removed the wood with an X–acto blade to produce a print that is made of seemingly infinite fine lines.

Two ideas occur to me looking at this exhibition, and both of them have to do with the pace of life. The sort of lasting relationship that Neblett was able to develop with her Indian students would be impossible, in fact discouraged, for a professor in the U.S. While in India, she spent many hours every day

working with the same students, having lunch with them, cups of tea at break time. Under such conditions there is an inevitable breakdown of some of the hierarchic barriers between students and “teacher.” Probably for that very reason, here in the U.S., classes are brief and fragmentary – a dash from one unrelated course to another, one unfamiliar “teacher” to another. My other thought on looking at these prints is that the speed of life in the U.S. militates against this time–consuming printing activity, requiring such quiet attention to detail and unfettered hours to devote to it. For many contemporary artists in this country, even the computer is never fast enough. cs From India With Ink Woodblock prints at Asa H.Gordon Library, Savannah State University, through April 24

Felix and Oscar, meet Florence and Olive All-female Odd Couple hits the Landings

by Jim Morekis | jim@connectsavannah.com

One of the most successful local theatre runs in recent memory, the Tybee Arts Performing Society production of Neil Simon’s classic The Odd Couple moves to the Landings for two shows this week, under the auspices of Savannah Community Theatre.

There’s a catch, though: Felix and Oscar are now Florence and Olive.

“Neil Simon updated and modernized it, and put women into the roles,” explains Reneé DeRossett, who plays “slob” Olive (Walter Matthau played the original role of Oscar on Broadway, Jack Klugman on the TV show). “The characters are familiar and there are similar jokes and bits, but the way it’s written is new and fresh.”

The effect has been “magic every night,” says DeRossett, whose opposite

number as Florence is Kim Trammell Schneider. “I’ve never seen an audience grabbing their faces and guffawing like this.”

“The audiences just seem to gulp it up,” agrees director Barry Finch, who’s contemplating bringing the show back to the beach one weekend a month during the summer “for the tourists.”

Finch and DeRossett both ascribe the show’s success to chemistry.

“Reneé and Kim are absolutely perfect — typecasting of course,” laughs

The cast in an informal rehearsal

Finch, who also praises other cast members for their work in this “once in a lifetime” production.

Finch says one particularly good omen was the fact that the cast was “off book,” i.e., knew all their lines, a month before opening.

“I gave out the scripts before Christmas, and we didn’t start rehearsals until Jan. 14. So that gave them time to get the characters and the dialogue down.

Of course when a director works with people who know their lines, it works.

That’s the key to success.”

Everyone is quick to say that while the all–female casting is an interesting twist, that has less to do with the show’s success than with the great writing.

“It’s just one of Neil Simon’s better plays,” says Finch, who adds that likely the only reason the show’s not performed more often on local stages around the country is because of high royalties. “For a 60–seat theatre, $125 a night is hard, especially at the community theatre level,” he says. “We try to keep the price low, though.” cs Savannah Community Theatre presents The Odd Couple (female version) When: April 22, April 23, 8 pm Where: Plantation Club, The Landings Cost: $15–25 Info: (912) 238–2888, www.savannahcommunitytheatre.com

A shot from a recent rehearsal

For a couple of years now, Tom Coleman has been the only person directing productions of Savannah Community Theatre. No more.

While Coleman readies an original production to debut later this year, Anthony Paderewski will helm SCT’s newest production, Butterflies Are Free, which opens April 23 at the theatre on Victory Drive.

“Last year Anthony was in Blood Brothers and also in a murder mystery we do at the Pirate’s House,” Coleman says. “He asked me if I was interested in him directing something. I told him, not in the first year, because I sort of have to keep tabs on everything that’s happening, but in the second year talk to me. So as soon as the second year was being planned he called me the first day, and was like ‘Let me do this.’”

Coleman says he’s confident that Paderewski’s energetic approach will do justice to the classic late ’60s comedy by Leonard Gershe about a blind man who falls in love with a hippie, much to the chagrin of his mom.

“He had done Butterflies Are Free at Armstrong while he was there and had a good grasp of the play,” continues Coleman. “He was so enthusiastic about it that I decided that would be the first venture away from ‘Tom–Coleman–Directs–Everything’ to let somebody else do something. Everything since then has been at a massive enthusiasm level, so if that counts for anything he

should have a great show on his hands (laughs).”

A film actor by training, Paderewski says his directorial style will be totally different from Coleman’s. Preparation included a week-long workshop in the Meisner technique of acting before the cast even had scripts.

“It’s sort of like, what did that feel like when you said that? Did that feel right?” relates Paderewski. “And often they’re honest with me and they’ll say, ‘No, it didn’t.’ If it doesn’t feel right it’s not going to be believable. I don’t want them to act it, I want them to live it in the moment.”

He says the play’s intimate quality lends itself to the technique.

“It’s mostly you looking into the lives of these people. They’re having conversations and unveiling these emotions and these moments, and you’re looking right at it. It doesn’t need to be theatrical, it’s more like a film.”

The cast includes Whitney Chappell, Reece Thomas, Pepe Streiff, and Kyle Price. cs Savannah Community Theatre’s Butterflies Are Free When: Thursday–Sunday, April 23–26, 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 26, 3 p.m.

Earth

The documentary Earth, a feature–length spinoff of the BBC series Planet Earth, has been playing Europe since the summer of 2007, yet it’s only being released in the U.S. on April 22, 2009 (Earth Day). Hmm, perhaps its British creators deemed it pointless to release such a pro–environment film in a country then ruled by a heinous Republican administration bent on the destruction of our natural resources?

At any rate, the picture is finally being released stateside by Walt Disney Studios under its new Disneynature label. And while it’s hard to urge moviegoers to spend money on something they can basically catch on the Discovery Channel (and other like–minded stations) for free, there’s no denying that the magnificence of the images on display is even more impressive when presented in a larger–than–life format.

In its original British presentation, Patrick Stewart handled narration duties; oddly, this fine performer has been replaced for American audiences by James Earl Jones. With his majestic voice, Jones introduces us to the animal protagonists of this globe–spanning piece –– among them polar bears, elephants, humpback whales and a particularly scary shark –– and discusses the various challenges most of them face, whether from other animals or from global warming. While remarkable, much of the footage admittedly has a been–there–done–that quality, although the segment on unique and colorful birds is astounding. Earth is an enjoyable experience, but it would be wrong to simply digest the picture as a complacent moviegoer. So here’s my contribution: A frequent friend of big business, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar would have been right at home in the Bush Administration (what was Obama thinking when he picked him?), given his abysmal indifference to wildlife and specifically his approval of a Bush Administration plan to slaughter endangered wolves. Protest his actions at www.doi. gov/feedback.html or make a contribution at www.savewolves.org.

For the better part of a decade, the Disney Channel has been manufacturing squeaky–clean mannequins in the same methodical way that, say, Keebler produces Fudge Shoppe Deluxe Grahams.

Like most of these youngsters, Zac Efron, the reigning Ken to Miley Cyrus’ Barbie, may not be around for the long haul (for every child actor who successfully makes the transition to adult movie star, like Jodie Foster and Elizabeth Taylor, there are many more that fail), but he’s presently making his case for career longevity by headlining the comedy 17 Again. He’s appealing within the confines of his limited range, but like the film itself, a severe case of blandness puts a lid on any breakout potential.

The first half–hour of the film is simply atrocious, lazily cobbling together pieces from Back to the Future, Big and all those forgettable ’80s body–switch comedies in an effort to jump–start its tale.

Efron plays Mike O’Donnell, a high school basketball star who, two decades later, has transformed into a depressed doormat whose teenage children Maggie and Alex (Michelle Trachtenberg and Sterling Knight) hate him and whose wife Scarlett (Leslie Mann) is divorcing him. (The middle–aged Mike/Zac is played by a suitably pudgy Matthew Perry.) In the blink of an eye, Mike is suddenly 17 again, retaining his adult mindset but trolling the halls of his school looking like one of the gang. Armed with this opportunity, Mike hopes to set things right, first by helping out his two children (Maggie’s romantically involved with the school bully while Alex is the perpetual target of said thug) and then by convinc-

ing Scarlett to give him (or, rather, his older self) a second chance.

Mann (aka Mrs. Judd Apatow) provides 17 Again with its heart, and she proves once again that she deserves a shot or two at more substantial roles. Beyond her, the film is completely disposable, with not enough timeline complications in its scripting and too much footage devoted to the antics of Mike’s best friend Ned (Thomas Lennon), a fanboy who never grew up. The bed shaped like a Star Wars landspeeder is a cute visual gag, but by the time Ned started speaking Tolkien’s Elvish language, I was ready to check back in with reality.

The Great Buck Howard John Malkovich’s greatest performance will probably always remain his turn as, well, John Malkovich in Spike Jonze’s Being John Malkovich, but that’s not to say this versatile actor isn’t always adding memorable bits to an increasingly impressive portfolio.

Thanks to writer–director Sean McGinly, Malkovich triumphs again, this time portraying the title role in The Great Buck Howard.

A slight yet satisfying show–biz tale that occasionally recalls such similar works as Broadway Danny Rose and My Favorite Year, this focuses on Troy (Colin Hanks), a young man who quits law school in order to find out what he really wants to do with his life. As he tries to figure it out, he takes a job as the road manager for Buck Howard, a temperamental mentalist who’s convinced that his comeback rests just around the corner. As portrayed by Malkovich, Buck is a man who’s by turns continues on p. 34

sympathetic, cruel, charming and egotistical. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a socko piece of acting, and while the likable Hanks is rarely more than adequate, Emily Blunt comes along (playing a noâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;nonsense publicist) and more than holds her own with a sly, charming performance. From narcissistic entertainers to overzealous fans, The Great Buck Howard has something to say about almost everyone positioned up and down the chain of command.

This expose is more congenial than acidic, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult not to like any movie in which a character states, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My college roommate was managing a multimillion dollar hedge fund, and here I was, helping Buck Howard with his benefit starring Gary Coleman and the guy from the Police Academy movies.â&#x20AC;?

Fast & Furious The best part of Fast & Furious is its tagline â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;New Model. Original Parts.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which means that the studio wonk who created it deserves the big bucks more than anybody who actually appears in the film. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a catchy line because it advertises the fact that all four stars of 2001â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Fast and the Furious â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have reunited for this fourth entry in the series (only Walker appeared in 2003â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2 Fast 2 Furious, and all were AWOL for 2006â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift). Unfortunately, this is one star vehicle that seems permanently stuck in â&#x20AC;&#x153;reverse.â&#x20AC;? The best performer of the quartet, Rodriguez, disappears from the proceedings fairly early, as director Justin Lin and writer Chris Morgan apparently decided to make this even more of a Toys for Boys romp than its predecessors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brewsterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character is, as before, an utter stiff, while the other women (occasionally seen making out with each other) are merely decorative props. That leaves more time for Diesel (as outlaw hotâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;rodder Dominic Toretto) and Walker (as lawman hotâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;rodder Brian Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Conner) to engage in competitive bouts of piston envy, each trying to prove to the other that only he has a crankshaft large enough to take down the drug kingpin responsible for the murder of a close friend. The opening vehicular setâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;piece is a doozy, but subsequent racing sequences resemble nothing more than video game sessions.

Diesel tries to recapture the brooding brand of charisma that made him a star earlier in the decade, but he seems to be losing his grip on that elusive quality. As

for Walker, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more boring than ever: His acting is so somnambular that even his carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s steering wheel stands a better chance at grabbing an Oscar nomination.

OBSERVE AND REPORT Observe and Report, writerâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;director Jody Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sophomore effort following the noâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;budget, noâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;laughs farce The Foot Fist Way, valiantly tries to combine the twisted trappings of a black comedy with the more accepted slapstick shenanigans of a mainstream outing.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely difficult to synchronize these approaches into one fluid viewing experience â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Terry Zwigoff largely pulled it off with Bad Santa, but Hill never locates the proper balance that would make this more than just a hitâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;andâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;miss curio. Seth Rogen, no stranger to controversial comedies, stars as Paul Blart â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; excuse me, Ronnie Barnhardt, a schlub who takes great pride in his work as the head of security at a popular mall. Unlike the congenial Blart, however, Ronnie is a disturbed individual, required to remain on his medication lest his destructive tendencies take over. But Ronnie is largely oblivious to his own inner demons â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too busy lusting after a makeup counter tart (Anna Faris), cluelessly overlooking a sweet fastâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;food employee (Collette Wolfe), attempting to apprehend a flasher whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been terrorizing the mall, and engaging in a war of words with a real detective (Ray Liotta).

Much of Observe and Report is aimless and lackadaisical â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a whole burglary subplot could easily have been dropped without affecting the overall product â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yet the scriptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest problem rests with its decidedly nonâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;PC content.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing wrong with ruffling a few feathers here and there â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a little vulgarity is good for the soul, as Mel Brooks used to prove on a regular basis â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but the material needs to be funny as well as potentially shocking, and almost none of the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s targets â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; alcoholism, racial profiling, date rape, etc. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are skewered in a fashion guaranteed to elicit laughs. The exception is the rampant male nudity seen during the bloody climax; I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ruin it here, but letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just say this might mark the only time that a movie manages to go limp and out with a bang at the same time.

guys, are all based on creatures found in classic sci–fi romps of the 1950s.

Sweet Susan (Reese Witherspoon), a bride–to–be who gets super–sized (hence her new name of Ginormica), is a nod to Attack of the 50 Foot Woman; the gelatinous mound B.O.B. (Seth Rogen) is based on The Blob; Dr. Cockroach (Hugh Laurie) obviously parodies The Fly; the amphibious Missing Link (Will Arnett) is an offshoot of Creature from the Black Lagoon; and the silent Insectosaurus seems patterned on the behemoths once found stomping around Japan (Mothra, Godzilla, etc.). Amusing, but what of the alien half of the equation? Instead, we get one tiresome extraterrestrial megalomaniac (Rainn Wilson), a clear indication that inspiration ran out long before this promising premise was saturated. The film’s visual scheme is inventive, and parents seeking kid–friendly life lessons should appreciate its message. But for a movie that had the potential to knock the genre out of this world, the pleasant but predictable Monsters vs. Aliens remains too earthbound for its own good.

Sunshine,” and like that Oscar–winning hit, it often belies its cheery title by exploring the darkness that descends on the lives of decent, ordinary people just trying to get ahead. Yet while it may not be as sharply written as its predecessor, it contains enough fine moments –– to say nothing of a strong central performance by Amy Adams –– to make it a worthwhile endeavor. Adams stars as Rose Lorkowski, once a popular high school cheerleader with a quarterback boyfriend, now a struggling maid–for– hire with a troublesome son (Jason Spevack). When her married lover Mac (Steve Zahn), the former QB who’s now a police detective, suggests that more money can be made by providing cleanup services at crime scenes, she jumps at the suggestion, convincing her reluctant sister Norah (Emily Blunt) to join her in this new endeavor. Obtaining the proper license proves to be almost as challenging as the actual cleanup duties (which often include removing body parts and swarming insects and always include mopping up copious amounts of blood), but Rose is determined to carve out a better existence for herself and her family. First–time scripter Megan Holley relies on too many familiar conventions and character types to flesh out her story: Here’s yet one more indie effort in which Mom is involved with a married man, Junior is a social outcast, and Grandpa is crusty yet kind (Alan Arkin virtually reprises his Little Miss Sunshine role). Yet other aspects of her screenplay are refreshing: The relationship between the sisters feels natural, the cleanup service angle is inspired (more scenes of them on the job would have been appreciated), and the character of a one–armed janitorial store proprietor (nicely played by Clifton Collins Jr.) emerges as a complete original. Sunshine Cleaning’s positives don’t completely eclipse the tired material, but they do suggest that Holley might have a bright future ahead of her.

of the usual gross–out gags that have come to define this sub–genre in modern times. Jesse Eisenberg, who appears to be a Michael Cera wannabe until you remember that he’s been around as long as the Juno actor (and more prominently in the early years, thanks to key roles in Roger Dodger and The Squid and the Whale), stars as James, whose best–laid plans to attend grad school are dismantled by a sudden lack of funds. Bummed, he’s forced to take a minimum–wage job working the game booths at the Pittsburgh amusement park Wonderland. He spends an exorbitant amount of time smoking pot and goofing around with his co–workers, but what really makes the gig endurable is his burgeoning relationship with a fellow employee, the pretty if often moody Em (Twilight’s Kristen Stewart). What James doesn’t know, however, is that Em is involved with the park’s older, married handyman (Ryan Reynolds), a situation that becomes difficult to manage once James and Em start spending more time together. Adventureland was written and directed by Superbad’s Greg Mottola, and he frequently has trouble nailing the 1980s milieu in which the film is set: Some scenes are visually so nondescript that it’s easy to forget the time frame and assume the movie takes place in the here and now. Eisenberg is exemplary as the nerdy intellectual whose sensitivity and demeanor attract rather than repel women –– here’s that rare youth flick where it’s actually believable that the geek gets the girl –– while Stewart again demonstrates her standing as one of our most promising young actresses by ably tackling the script’s most complicated role.

DUPLICITY Duplicity is a jet–setting romp that proves to be as bright as it is brainy.

Writer–director Tony Gilroy, flush from his Michael Clayton success, retains that film’s examination of corporate malfeasance yet replaces the sense of dread with a sense of style. After all, when a movie showcases a Caribbean hotel where rooms cost $10,000 per night, it’s clear that the protagonists won’t be cut from the same cloth as us po’ folks who have to worry about trifling matters like soaring unemployment rates and obstructionist Republican Congressmen. Indeed, the leads are played by Julia Roberts and Clive Owen, the sort of high–wattage movie stars so glamorous that it’s easy to believe even their bath tissues are Armani–designed. She’s

former CIA agent Claire Stenwick; he’s ex–MI6 operative Ray Koval. Having both left their jobs to take lucrative assignments with rival corporations (the company CEOs are played in amusing fashion by Tom Wilkinson and Paul Giamatti), both Claire and Ray end up pooling their talents in order to swindle both companies and steal the formula for a new cosmetic product that will revolutionize the industry.

But as they work overtime to insure they’re always one step ahead of their respective companies’ key personnel (not a dummy among them), Claire and Ray each wonder whether they can really trust the other person. If there’s a fault with Duplicity, it’s that Gilroy relies far too heavily on fastbacks and flashbacks–within–flashbacks to the point that the first half–hour is often impenetrable –– telling the story in linear fashion would have still produced enough narrative twists to keep audiences happily engaged. Fortunately, as the movie continues, plot basics become more digestible, and it all pans out with a climactic “gotcha” that should invoke happy memories of The Sting.

Knowing

With its plotline involving extraterrestrials, a kid in potential peril, and a man obsessed with uncovering the truth behind unexplained phenomena, this could easily have been tagged Clod Encounters of the Absurd Kind. Sober in its intentions but laughable in its execution, Knowing begins promisingly, as a letter written by a little girl in 1959 finds itself, 50 years later, in the hands of John Koestler (Cage), an MIT professor whose wife died in a hotel fire a year earlier and who now must raise his son Caleb (Chandler Canterbury) by himself. Koestler soon figures out that the piece of paper, on which the child scrawled nothing but a lengthy series of numbers, actually foretold all the major disasters of the past five decades. The problem is that three of the prophesied disasters have yet to occur, leaving Koestler in the unenviable position of trying to figure out how to stop large–scale tragedies from taking place.

Meanwhile, a group of shadowy figures spend their time trailing young Caleb; they’re meant to appear menacing, but that’s hard to accomplish when they basically all look like Sting impersonators. cs

ARIES

(March 21–April 19) Astrology and Tarot cards are my favorite divinatory tools, but I also get a lot of use out of magnetic poetry kits. These are boxes full of evocative words and symbols in the form of refrigerator magnets.

Sometimes after analyzing your astrological omens, I’ll close my eyes, beam a question out into the ethers, and pluck a few magnets at random from one of my poetry kits.

I just did that for you. “What are the keys to unlocking the enormous reserves of energy that are potentially available for Aries folks right now?” I asked. Here’s the message that came: “swooping orgasms & laughing tears.” (Or it could also be arranged this way: “laughing orgasms & swooping tears.”)

TAURUS

(April 20–May 20) Rachael Yanetta, a young English woman, got a bellyache while working her regular job at the local pub. Despite the pain, she toughed it out until her shift was over, then went home. Her distress increased, though, and at 3 a.m. she checked into the hospital. A little over an hour later, to her shock, she gave birth to her first child, having been unaware she was pregnant until the very end of her nine–month term. I predict a comparable sequence for you in the coming days, Taurus. You’ll power through some perplexing anomaly that leads to the unexpected arrival of a new creation or vital revelation.

GEMINI

(May 21–June 20) As I close my eyes and ask my deep self for a psychic vision that symbolizes your current astrological omens, here’s what I see: You’re trying to look relaxed even though you have one foot on a dock and one foot on a boat as the boat pulls away. How should we interpret this scene? Here’s what I think: It seems likely that at any minute now you will have to commit yourself to either the dock, the boat, or the water.

CANCER

(June 21–July 22) This would be an excellent time for you to lead a populist revolt to overthrow the abusive authorities or out–of– touch elites who have been working their dumb magic for far too long. It would also be

a perfect moment for you to stop cooperating with energy–draining situations that undermine your autonomy. The Age of Passivity is ending, thank Goddess. Launching the Age of Awakening may not be easy or fast, but you will attract extra help and encouragement if you do it now.

LEO

(July 23–Aug. 22) “I am not interested in money,” said actress Marilyn Monroe. “I just want to be wonderful.” Consider the possibility of trying out that approach for a while, Leo. I’m not, of course, encouraging you to be apathetic toward financial matters.

But I do think it’s an excellent time to for you to specialize in making yourself more wonderful. The cosmic signs say that you now have access to unprecedented reserves of the most profound kind of charm (not the cheap, fake, manipulative stuff). They also suggest that certain qualities in you that have previously been merely fine are primed to evolve into being amazingly marvelous.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23–Sept. 22) I once had a Virgo girlfriend who was exceedingly well–organized.

The capstone of her heroic efforts to keep life rigorously ordered was her approach to her underwear.

Each of her panties was embroidered with the name of a day of the week. In the large drawer where they were kept, all the Mondays were in a neat pile at the upper left–hand corner, followed by the rest of the days in their proper sequence. She was always able to grab the correct pair, even when she was half–asleep and the room was dark. If I were going to contact her now, I’d recommend that she should, for a change, arrange her intimate items out of order, and maybe wear Monday on Friday, or put Tuesday on inside–out on Saturday. According to my reading of the omens, this kind of playful self–trickery would set the right tone for you Virgos; it would encourage the universe to send you the benevolent interruptions and interesting interventions you need.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23–Oct. 22) “Being understood is not the most essential thing in life,” said actress Jodie Foster. While that may be true for her, I bet you won’t turn it

down if a flood of appreciation and acknowledgement comes your way in the next few weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you now have the potential to be better understood than maybe you’ve been in a long time. I suggest you take maximum advantage of this good fortune. Make it easy for people to see you for who you really are.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23–Nov. 21) The famous physicist Robert Oppenheimer sometimes displayed a disarming humility. “There are children playing in the streets who could solve some of my top problems in physics,” he said once, “because they have modes of sensory perception that I lost long ago.” I invite you to consider the possibility that you, too, could learn a lot from people you regard as beneath you or utterly unlike you. It’s one of those rare phases in your astrological cycle when useful revelations are likely to arrive from outside your normal frame of reference. (P.S. Animals might be great teachers as well.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22–Dec. 21)

It’s a Love Emergency! Am I right?

There’s a growing itch in the romantic sphere, and it needs immediate scratching. I mean it really can’t wait for a few more days to pass; something’s got to be done soon. It may be true that this thickening of the plot has been underway for quite a while, and its growing urgency may have snuck up on you. It also may be true that the shift will ultimately be a promising development. But that doesn’t mean you can afford to be casual about it. Take action!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22–Jan. 19)

From an astrological point of view, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to start a band and record an album. Your creativity is waxing, your attunement with the right side of your brain is especially sweet, and you will benefit immensely from anything you do to become less of a spectator and more of a participant. To jumpstart the process, go to Wikipedia and click on “random article.” That’s the name of your band. Then go to en.wikiquote.org and click on “random page.” The last few words of the last quote on that page will

be your album’s title. Finally, go to flckr.com, click on “the last 7 days,” and choose a photo from the new page to be your CD cover. (My band is Widemouth Blindcat, our album is “More Time for Dreaming,” and our cover art is a spiral staircase from here: tinyurl.com/c89rt7.)

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20–Feb. 18) You’ve said enough for the time being.

You have expressed the hell out of yourself and have been thorough in providing your vision of how the collaborative efforts should unfold.

But now I think you should cultivate the power of silence. Keep your evolving thoughts to yourself for a while so that they can ripen in your imagination, and allow the ideas you have already put out there to fully work their way into the imaginations of others. In early May, it will be time to jump back in with a new dose of your insight and inspiration. By then, people should be begging you for more.

PISCES

(Feb. 19–March 20) As a leading practitioner of magical thinking, I regard it as my responsibility to serve as a kind of Quality Control Board. Excessive trust in invisible forces and odd coincidences, after all, can be as hazardous to your intelligence as blind faith in pure reason. This week, in fact, I’d rather see you operate like a scientist than a mystic. I hope you’ll evaluate every situation by invoking the powers of unbiased perceptivity and lucid objectivity.

So please don’t heed anyone’s mumbo–jumbo, especially if it’s fear–based. Reject supernatural explanations if natural ones make equal sense. Be assured that when superstitious fantasies pop up, they’ll have little to do with what’s actually happening. cs
