Chad Haffa, a firefighter with Mount Pleasant Fire Department, started the race after he became an avid runner himself. Since the Dirt Dash, Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission has added a series of trail runs, and Barrier Island ECOthon Director Brett Carlson added several ECOruns on Capers Island. “Trail running is exploding in the Lowcountry,” says Haffa, who expects 450 to participate Saturday. “With the Francis Marion Dirt Dash leading the charge, many other organizations and others around Hilton Head have taken to the dirt to promote trail and off-road running.” Packet pick-up and inperson registration will be noon-7 p.m. today and Friday at TrySports in Mount Pleasant. Part of the proceeds from the event help support the Mount Pleasant Fire Department’s Wildland Firefighting Program. The event happens rain or shine.

Viral times: ‘Contagion’ makes pandemic feel real BY DAVID GERMAIN
AP Movie Writer
R60-599513
Faith& Values Sundays in
Attitudes and understanding.
The Hollywood disaster movie typically comes with quakes, asteroids, tornadoes or aliens ripping the planet to shreds and manly heroes tossing around wisecracks as they carry out impossible deeds to save the world. Yet Steven Soderbergh figured that the more authentic a potential apocalypse feels, the scarier it becomes. Opening Friday, Soderbergh’s “Contagion” lays out a terrifying scenario — the swift spread of a deadly new virus around the globe — with a mix of personal drama and merciless realism that makes it riveting and foreboding. From the start, director Soderbergh and screenwriter Scott Z. Burns aimed for an ultra-realistic tale of a pandemic that is lacking in Hollywood egotism. “The key phrase was ‘ultrarealistic.’ At the end of the day, to have everything in the film either be scientifically accurate or emotionally and practically plausible would make it scarier,” Soderbergh said. “We wanted to remove this barrier between the audience and the story.” Like 2000’s “Traffic,” the drug-war saga that earned Soderbergh an Academy Award for best director, “Contagion” follows a huge cast and weaves together divergent plot lines into a tight, feverishly paced narrative. Gwyneth Paltrow plays an adulterous Minnesota woman whose business trip to Asia puts her at the center of a fluke series of events in which she’s infected by a virus that jumps species from bats to pigs to humans. With the human immune system baffled by a virus it’s never before encountered, the flulike disease races

Chin Han as Sun Feng and Marion Cotillard as Dr. Leonora Orantes star in the thriller “Contagion.” The film opens Friday. around the world, killing people and causing panic in the United States, Great Britain, Japan, China and many other countries. Frequent Soderbergh collaborator Matt Damon (“The Informant!,” “Ocean’s Eleven” flicks) is the emotional focus of “Contagion” as Paltrow’s husband, a man whose sole aim is to protect his daughter through the crisis. Unlike Damon’s superagent Jason Bourne, his “Contagion” character is an everyman at the mercy of fate like the rest of the world, keeping his head down and trying to ride out the horror of mass graves, looting, makeshift hospitals, quarantine zones and the virtual breakdown of normal society. “There’s no vanity in any of the performances,” Damon said. “The characters are flawed. They feel very real. It feels like the world that we all live in and that this could happen, because it could. The science is really accurate. They went into painstaking detail to make sure of that.” The story hurtles from place to place, following
Kate Winslet as a Centers for Disease Control researcher risking her life in the field; Laurence Fishburne and Jennifer Ehle as virologists racing to crack the code of the disease; Jude Law as a blogger who adds to the panic with conspiracy theories that the government might be withholding a cure; and Marion Cotillard as a World Health Organization official trying to track how a virus normally confined to bats could infect humans. “We want a strong immune system, so you have to be exposed to germs,” Ehle said. “The scary thing is the idea of something coming that no human being has any immunity to because it has jumped species. And no amount of washing hands will protect against that.” To develop a realistic story, screenwriter Burns worked with top virologists to determine what truly could happen. The scenario he and Soderbergh settled on — an epidemic from a virus jumping species — is one the scientists say is likely someday as human expansion continues, Burns said.

‘Guard’ hits all points BY ROGER MOORE The Orlando Sentinel
Irish police sergeant Gerry Boyle may be “the last of the independents.” But this boozy, bluff and blunt redhead sure is a hard man t’love. He’s a racist — or at least is very comfortable coming off that way. For shock value, don’t you know. The only times Boyle is telling a tall tale are when he opens his mouth. And as he’s telling them, he’s not shy about unleashing a cascade of curses delivered in a rich Irish brogue. Pairing this swaggering, unfiltered liar (Brendan Gleeson) and veteran of the “Garda,” the Irish state police, with American FBI drug enforcement agent Wendell Everett (Don Cheadle) is nothing short of brilliant. That’s the joy in “The Guard,” a dark comedy written and directed by the lesser known of the playwriting/screenwriting McDonaghs, John Michael, brother to Martin. It isn’t the best cop film in ages because of its plot
movie review
★★★★ (of 5) DIRECTOR: John Michael McDonagh. STARRING: Brendan Gleeson, Don Cheadle, Finnoula Flanagan, Mark Strong. RATED: R for pervasive language, violence drug material and some sexual content. RUN TIME: 1 hour, 36 minutes. WHAT DID YOU THINK?: Find this review at www. charlestonscene.com and offer your opinion . or the florid flinging of F-bombs by all concerned. McDonagh has set this in a place that has become a cinematic cliche, of shamrocks and “Diddley aye” music and leprechaun accents. He’s made a laugh-outloud comedy as hard as “The French Connection.”

A grilled swordfish ($24.95) entree was first rate. Its simple preparation was gilded with a salsa of crabmeat, tomatoes, red onion, bell peppers and served with a side of goat cheese mashed potatoes and asparagus.

tourists with well-executed compositions. Our affable servers were well-schooled in the menu and possessed the discreet charms of a professionally trained wait staff. True agents of hospitality who educated us on the finer points of a Pinot Gris compared to a Pinto Grigio; serving two desserts when we could not decide between a banana wrapped in a chocolate crepe or their signature white chocolate bread pudding — they went the extra mile to make our experience memorable.
Sleek simplicity
The interior feels very ship-shape. No overwrought nautical tchotchkes; just well-buffed surfaces, locally focused artwork and sleek surfaces that allow the view to shine and the food to seduce. The sightlines along Shem Creek as the sun sets and the white lights flickering on the neighboring businesses brought this aquarium of edibles from the sea to life.

Voodoo, 15 Magnolia Road, has become a live music staple in the past four or five years, with jazz at the vanguard of its programming. Owners Jen and Mike Kulick and percussionist Quentin Baxter have grown a personal relationship into a collegial one that has spawned Voodoo’s popular spring-summer and fallwinter jazz series. If you liken it to, let’s say, the making of a record, the Kulicks are the executive producers. They gather the necessary resources and create an atmosphere for the artists to perform. Baxter is the A&R person. He lines up the artists and develops the repertoire. Much of the time, he brings in bands, but for a handful of times, he builds ensembles around himself, usually a trio or quartet. He told me last week he’s excited about what he has in store. He calls it Concept Slight Stench. That’s right, stench. As in funk. “I define it as originals, standards, and ‘not-so-standards’ with a funky effervescence,” he said with an I-can’t-wait-toplay-it look on his face. His bandmates will be Charlton Singleton on trumpet, Mitch Butler on trombone and Chris Bluemel on tuba.

1. Check out a place you haven’t tried This is the whole point of Restaurant Week! Diners are happy because they can get great food at a discounted price, and restaurants are happy because they have a way to bring in more customers during a slow time of year. This season, Charleston’s most expensive and lavish venues are charging $40 for a three-course meal. Previous years have only allowed restaurants to offer three courses for either $20 or $30. The $40 meals are offered at places including Grill 225, Halls Chophouse and McCrady’s. Get a lot of bang for your buck at one of the three for

$30 restaurants. Some great options include Circa 1886, Oak Steakhouse, Slightly North of Broad, La Fourchette and Carolina’s. And there are many restaurants offering three courses for $20. Some restaurants even are offering two diners eating three courses for $20 or $30.
Most of the participating restaurants make their menus available online at www.charleston restauratassociation.com. Browse every place you’re interested in and look for something you’re not familiar with or have always wanted to try. Restaurant Week, after all, is about trying something new. A few things I’m dying to taste include the wild boar spring roll with green curry dipping sauce at The Library, the peppercorncrusted Waygu steak at Opal, the ahi, salmon and walu carpaccio at O-Ku and the apple-fennel sponge cake at Cypress. Believe me, I could go on.

Performances include a variety of talents, including live poetry readings and break-dancing. “We mostly deal with arts organizations, but we know individuals are part of any art movement,” says Bluestein. “So we came up with the idea of a courtyard stage for performances.” The whole expo is a collab-
orative effort with the artists of Charleston, from the performances to the decor of this year’s venue, which is provided by the Art Institute of Charleston. The Charleston Food Trucks will provide refreshments. And children may like the hands-on activity booths with the Creative Spark crew from Mount Pleasant. These include beadmaking, printmaking and puppet play. “Who doesn’t want, or need, to express themselves?” says Bluestein. “Art is essential to the overall quality of life.”

If you’ve never considered yourself part of an “artsy crowd” yet always wondered what the “crowd” is up to, this Saturday’s event may be for you. The second annual Open Arts Expo at Memminger Auditorium is geared towards fans of all ages, so come find your passion. “The whole idea is to serve our tri-county arts organizations,” says Jessica Bluestein, regional director of the Charleston Arts Alliance. “Every person, whether an arts novice or a patron, can find something at this Expo. We’re on a mission to build new audiences for the arts.” One of the goals of the Expo is to show that the arts are essential to a community’s economic and social structures. “Yo! Art is working with the Burke High School students as well as with painter Jonathan Green to decorate the school with art,” says Bluestein. “They’re planning to make hallway murals so that students have something personal and visual to enjoy. They’re also planning to make art for the new 1600 Meeting Street space.” Interactive booths at the Expo will help folks discover their artistic passion. “We’ll have a lot of artists

In this 2009 photo, Karen Ann Myers (right), executive director of Redux Contemporary Art Center, and Lucy Nicar set up a photography exhibition at Redux. Myers will become assistant director at the Halsey Institute beginning in October.
Redux’s director takes position at Halsey of the ways Myers assisted Redux’s growth. “The operating budget has increased over 75 percent.

I think it’s fair to say that the community is excited for Myers and the Halsey, and as she said herself, it’s important to have a positive outlook for a new executive director breathing even more fresh life into Redux.

ACE’S ON BRIDGE Twenty years ago Tony Forrester wrote a bridge tip about the power of the closed hand — how declarer can generate tricks if he conceals his assets well. One of my favorite closedhand stories deals with what I think will be close to a world record when it comes to stealing tricks. North-South had found their best fit, although a level or two too high, and East had done well to find a takeout double, converted to penalties by West. As the auction had shown, East was a thoughtful and competent player. But West was a weaker player, and instead of leading the obvious trump against three clubs doubled, he chose a heart. East won this

to switch to his singleton club. South took this in dummy and decided to try for a crossruff. Since East was clearly stacked in spades, he led a low spade from dummy, hoping to give East a problem. Everyone followed in tempo, but South was more than a little surprised to find his six taking the trick! East, who knew that declarer had at most one spade for this line of play, had gone with the percentages, hoping his partner had the spade six so that he could continue the attack on trumps. Unluckily for him, his play allowed declarer not only to steal a spade trick, but also to establish a heart trick. Now a mini-crossruff saw him escape for two down.
