mud, sand, water and beds? it must be spring in charleston
t
wo very different events, one involving mud and the other sand, are looking to draw about 1,000 people each this weekend, and that’s just half of it. The other events involve water and beds. in other words, after a week of more normal charleston weather, spring is here with something for everyone.
Mud
Arts& Travel Sundays in
Let us entertain you.
saturday’s mega mud run challenge kicks off the first of three consecutive saturdays featuring a mud and obstacle course race. The others are the 17th annual citadel bulldog challenge on april 20 at The citadel and project mud 5k on april 27 on wadmalaw island. but there’s something different about the mega mud run. unlike the citadel bulldog challenge, a fine-tuned, military-style race, and the out-of-town franchise project mud, the mega mud run is a bit more personal. The run is the fruit of the labors of glenn herring, a local who has promoted physique, strongman and mma fights in the past. he literally built the obstacles on a longtime family farm on Johns island. The legare family has been supportive of herring’s efforts. and all that work and cooperation is paying off. on monday, herring said, the mega mud run has grown from the 187 people who participated in a sort of trial run last fall to close to 1,000. and participation isn’t the only part that’s grown. herring has nearly doubled the number of obstacles from 18 to 35 on the 3.5-mile course. nine involve mud. “i’m right where i wanted to be with this event,” said herring, adding that the fall event will be sept. 28. gates open for the event at 7:30 a.m. packet pick-up starts at 8 a.m. teams start at 9 a.m. and individuals at 10 a.m. The race-day fees are $125 for individuals, $240 for teams of four. spectators get in free and parking is free. participants

Sand
The fourth annual run for adela, a tribute to adela holmes cook, also is edging toward 1,000 registrants for the only run held on the beach of sullivan’s island. cook, a bishop england high school student who was planning to attend the university of south carolina, died from injuries sustained in a golf cart accident in 2009 during a trip in the bahamas. Family and friends say she loved the outdoors and was an avid runner. They created run for adela and the adela holmes cook Foundation to honor her memory and raise money for charity. race director dicksie Johnson said this year’s event will help pay for “adela’s extreme teen water weekend” for 20 youths with cancer through camp happy days, as well as charleston waterkeeper. The race starts and ends at station 16 and features an array of prizes, including a weekend getaway at wild dunes resort, bicycles, gift certificates and more. new this year is a one-mile fun run for children ages 12 and under, a spirit contest for schools with the most participants (the top high school gets $1,500 and the top lower school gets $1,000) and an “official after-party” at triangle char & bar in mount

‘42’ e
Biopic takes on an epic and epochal story and doesn’t blow it
photographs by warner bros.
Chadwick Boseman as Jackie Robinson in “42.”
by roger moore MCT
movie review
arnest, righteous, historically accurate and often entertaining, writerdirector brian helgeland’s “42” is pretty much all you could hope for in a Jackie robinson film biography. minus the excitement, which given how well-known robinson’s story is to baseball fans, is no cardinal sin. and the cast is more adequate than thrilling. it’s the sort of story that you find yourself hoping they don’t screw up: that the baseball will be convincing, that the racism isn’t watered down, that the actor playing Jackie (chadwick boseman) comes off as a human being, not an icon. and in those regards, “42” scores.
(out of five stars) director: brian helgeland cast: chadwick boseman, harrison Ford, lucas black, nicole beharie, christopher meloni rated: pg-13 for thematic elements including language running time: 2 hours, 8 minutes more photos: For more photographs from the film, check out the review on charlestonscene. com. a brief history lesson, the narrated-over-newsreel footage context of the end of world war ii, is followed by a much longer one, as we see
robinson selected to integrate baseball by the cagey old brooklyn dodgers general manager and president, branch rickey. it’s shocking to see harrison Ford take on a performance this complex; a voice, a pose and a whole demeanor, doing justice to a religious man whose spoken reasons for integrating america’s pastime, “dollars aren’t black or white. They’re green,” isn’t the whole truth and nothing but the truth. rickey hunts high and low for a black ballplayer of talent, modesty and forbearance. he needs a star who can take a lot of racist abuse from fans, players, umpires and others. robinson, a four-sport athlete at ucla and star of the kansas please see ‘42’, page e7
robinson: superhero who leaped color lines
by dana Jennings New York Times News Service
w
atching the movie “42” brings to mind the ending to John Ford’s fine 1962 western, “The man who shot liberty valance.” a newspaperman (and the viewer) has learned from James stewart the truth about who really gunned down the evil valance years before. but rather than run with the story, the newsman rips it up and flings it into the stove. his reason? “when the legend becomes fact,” he says, “print the legend.” while “valance” is pure fiction, it raises the hard question that faces any maker of a biopic: do i print the legend or print the fact? The makers of “42,” about Jackie robinson’s breaking major league baseball’s color barrier in 1947 with the brooklyn dodgers, tipped
Chadwick Boseman and director Brian Helgeland on the set of “42.” their hand well before the movie’s scheduled release this Friday. a movie billboard in midtown manhattan reads, “The true story of an american legend.” There’s nothing wrong in playing the legend card. but legends, by their very nature,
are two-dimensional, and robinson was a complicated, multifaceted man. what unfolds in “42,” written and directed by brian helgeland, who won a screenwriting oscar for please see robinson, page e7

city monarchs, fit the bill. helgeland, an oscarwinning screenwriter (“l.a. confidential”) and skilled storyteller (“mystic river”), provides his cleverest touches in the ways he makes robinson’s story resonate today. The california native had bristled at southern segregation while in the army. helgeland plays up the racial threats robinson received in spring training at sanford, Fla. (where teen trayvon martin met his death last year). he shows us a grand arc among the players, many of whom signed a petition to keep robinson off the dodgers. They witness the racism of opponents, fans and others and blush in shame. The writer-director gives his robinson from page e6
“l.a. confidential” (1997), is a mostly rockwellian portrait that feels like an old-fashioned hollywood movie: “mr. robinson goes to the major leagues.” harrison Ford’s branch rickey, the white baseball executive who brought robinson to the majors, is gruff and avuncular. chadwick boseman’s Jackie robinson is fierce and noble as he simmers and silently faces down the racists and the skeptics. The movie closes on a resounding upbeat. led by their brave black rookie, who played in 151 games and batted a sturdy .297 to start his hall of Fame career, the dodgers win the 1947 national league pennant by five games over the second-place st. louis cardinals and earn the right to face the yankees, winners of the american league pennant, in the world series. in the film we don’t get to see the dodgers play the yankees in that series. but listen to robinson, in his 1972 autobiography, “i never had it made,” as he writes about game 1 at yankee stadium: “today as i look back on that opening game of my first world series, i must tell you that it was mr. rickey’s
star a lot of quiet moments, but boseman, the center of it all, makes for a rather stoic and bland robinson, which was what rickey was shooting for but which doesn’t do the movie any favors in the spark department. The rest of the cast of “42” is no slam-dunk of a-listers. hamish linklater (tv’s “The new adventures of old christine”) isn’t built
like an athlete of this or any other era. John c. mcginley may attempt the accent and homey slang of sportscaster red barber, but seems totally wrong. christopher meloni suggests little of what earned manager leo durocher the nickname “leo the lip.” and Ford seems nothing like the real rickey, even if he wins us over with gruff charm. but alan tudyk gives a
spittle-spewing racist vent to phillies manager ben chapman, and lucas black is absolutely perfect as the drawling star dodgers shortstop pee wee reese, whose role in that season that changed america, 1947, could easily have been forgotten, but which helgeland movingly remembers. it’s the setting, the tone and the sentiment that “42” masters, the comically primitive attitudes of some of the white majority, the black fans and children inspired by robinson’s odyssey, the barriers that today’s youth might be shocked to know ever existed. and it’s that affection for the game and the history that make “42” a number not just worthy of retiring from every major league roster, but worth experiencing as a movie.
drama, and that i was only a principal actor. as i write this 20 years later, i cannot stand and sing the anthem. i cannot salute the flag; i know that i am a black man in a white world. in 1972, in 1947, at my birth in 1919, i know that i never had it made.” Those are not the words of a hollywood hero, but of a complex and ambivalent man. robinson’s words bring us up short because, culturally, we want his legend, a crosspollination of proud american mythology and exceptionalism, to be true because it makes us feel good about ourselves, about baseball, about our perceived progress on race relations. as with many movies about sports, which tend toward the legend model, “42” runs the risk of making more out of ballplayers and baseball executives than what’s there. at heart, robinson was a four-sport star at ucla (where he was a very good football running back) who wanted to play ball and earn a living. rickey was a career baseball man who wanted to win games and make money. They needed each other. yes, robinson was a symbol, a lightning rod for both black and white america. but it’s important to remember
he was all athlete, a feral ballplayer, a professional who played his chosen game hard. as he wrote in his book, “i believed in fierce competition and swift retaliation for mistreatment.” because robinson’s breakthrough came in the united states of america, it’s also a tale complicated by its sense of keen economic opportunity: you know, money. and “42” doesn’t shy from that fact. Ford’s rickey says, “dollar’s aren’t black and white,” and the dodger manager leo durocher, played by christopher meloni, states, “we’re playing for money here, mr. rickey.” but robinson was blunter in his book. “money is america’s god,” he wrote, “and business people can dig black power if it coincides with green power.” and on his teammates: “They hadn’t changed because they liked me any better; they had changed because i could help fill their wallets.” george vecsey, the writer and columnist for The new york times, gets at robinson’s ability to help and to raise up others in his 2006 history, “baseball,” when he writes, “every black politician, every black rap singer, every black athlete of today,
every black citizen vaguely getting by, comes through Jackie robinson, but without the incredible stress that wore robinson down before his time.” robinson died in 1972, just 53 years old. in a sense, as comic-book and action-movie fans await the reboot of the superman franchise on June 14 with the release of “man of steel,” “42” is the season’s first major superhero movie. (coincidentally, meloni is in each film.) Think about it. robinson’s no. 42, so revered that major league baseball has retired it for all teams, is about as distinctive as superman’s “s.” both robinson and superman were abandoned by their fathers, then found adoptive dads in rickey and pa kent. robinson has larger-than-life villains to deal with, like the phillies’ racist manager, ben chapman. and robinson, to survive and thrive, had to build his own kind of Fortress of solitude. but despite their common thread the most intriguing thing is what sets these two movies apart: it appears that “man of steel” wants to try to humanize the comic-book legend, while “42” makes a legend of the very human Jack roosevelt robinson.

‘the place beyond the pines’
‘blue valentine’ director looks at the difference between perception and reality
by mick lasalle San Francisco Chronicle
‘t
he place beyond the pines” is where writer-director derek cianfrance gets to show that his previous film, “blue valentine,” was no fluke, that this is an artist expanding his abilities and coming into his own way of presenting the world
and telling stories. his latest movie is huge in its ambition and almost as huge in its achievement. The story of “The place beyond the pines” comes in three waves and advances over a period of years. it doesn’t focus on one event or one person, and if there is a moral to it or some message to be gleaned, it’s nothing easy or obvious.
cianfrance is getting at a feeling, a mood and a perception of life, a sense of how things tend to work between people. in this movie, nothing is as good or as bad as it seems from the outside. every person is a little tawdry and a little exalted. and surrounding everyone is the world — ever-present, unwatched and yet beautiful — rich in color and waiting to be noticed by somebody, if only the audience. The evocative title is the literal meaning (in iroquois) of “schenectady,” the city in new york where the movie takes place. it begins with a long tracking shot of ryan gosling as handsome luke, who does motorcycle stunts at a traveling carnival. it’s interesting to think about the shot after the film is over: he walks across an open lot into a tent, where people are cheering, and he puts on his motorcycle helmet. people think they’re in the midst of one story, but they’re often in something else. gosling, who also starred in “blue valentine,” holds a certain fascination as an actor, in that we believe in the actions of his characters, but we don’t know why they do them. is he thoughtful and complex, or is he simple and instinctive? is luke weighing the moral consequences and operating according to an unspoken code, or is he just improvising? his engaging smile suggests someone who knows more than we do, but perhaps we’re just getting taken in by good looks. luke is somebody who makes people want to believe in him, including the viewer. at the heart of “The place beyond the pines” is a meditation on fathers and sons. luke didn’t know his father, so when he finds out that he has an infant son by a schenectady woman, romina (eva mendes), he alters his plans so he can become a presence in the boy’s life. but luke and schenectady are an awkward match, at best.

‘trance’
danny boyle puzzler is mind-bending, but little else
by Jake coyle Associated Press
p
lot-twisting puzzlers are a bubble market in the movies these days, with an arms race of “inception”like reality reversals that flip like a coin until dizzy audiences lose all interest in how it lands. That’s certainly the case with danny boyle’s “trance,” a mind-bending neo-noir with continually shifting layers but little beyond its flashy plot machinations. The movies used to be content to be the stuff of dreams. now, they aim for hypnosis, limbo and headache-inducing dreams within dreams. advil might soon replace popcorn. with boyle’s characteristic briskness, “trance” starts promisingly enough. James mcavoy is simon, a london auctioneer who describes the emergency protocol of the high-end auction house “in the event of an event.” as he does so, such an event is under way: a well-planned gang led by Frank (the excellent vincent cassel) brazenly attempts to steal Francisco goya’s “witches in the air.” simon attempts to foil the heist, but we soon realize he’s in on the plot, too. but something has gone awry. a blow to the head has sapped simon of his memory, leading the crew to enlist a hypnotist (rosario dawson) to elicit the location of the missing painting from simon’s banged-up brain. This is, naturally, when the script by Joe ahearne and John hodge (a frequent collaborator with boyle) begins to play with simon’s hypnosis. The movie drifts in and out of consciousness, guided by dawson’s silky voice. is simon our protagonist or villain? is elizabeth lamb (dawson) pulling out simon’s memories or implanting them? pubic hair, you will be happy to learn, figures promi-

movie review 1/2 (out of five stars) director: danny boyle cast: James mcavoy, rosario dawson, vincent cassel rated: r for sexual content, graphic nudity, violence, some grisly images and language running time: 1 hour, 41 minutes more photos: For more photographs from the film, check out the review on charlestonscene.com. nently in the answers to these questions. boyle and his cinematographer, anthony dod mantle, saturate the film with reflected images and a sleek, colorful palate. “trance” is never more than a minute away from a striking image, though the glassy, frenetic compositions only heighten the movie’s lack of depth. it’s dawson’s fleshy, commanding presence that helps melt the right angles of “trance.” her character gradually moves to the forefront of the film, such that you might
Rosario Dawson in “Trance.” mutter “James mca-who?” by the time she, like a goddess, disrobes. but before a full picture of elizabeth arrives, the movie’s succession of implausible trapdoors has rendered any big reveal about as satisfactory as a punch line to a 20-minute-long knockknock joke. boyle is a talented, zippy craftsman with a protean body of work (“trainspotting,” “slumdog millionaire,” “127 hours”) that, pleasingly, seems to cringe at the whiff of pretension to anything running longer than two hours. The notable exception to
that, of course, was the opening ceremony to the london olympics that boyle directed. That pageant culminated in an ode to modernity, a theme for boyle, particularly in his last three films. “trance,” “127 hours” and “slumdog millionaire” are all populated by screens within screens, from cellphones to tablets and video cameras. “trance” ends, somewhat laboriously, with the choice of a click, and the option to remember or forget. but the superficial tricks of “trance” sadly already made that decision.

ell, this sure beats the old bowling alley. The citadel’s canteen has undergone several iterations across the decades. it began as a bowling alley in the 1960s before becoming a snack bar and now a modernized dining facility operating in conjunction with aramark. in sunny and, yes, techsavvy quarters (check out the free wi-Fi, 55-inch televisions and sirius Xm radio), The canteen serves a bounty of pizza, burgers, soups, salads and wraps, appropriate options for all cadets. or the public. anyone is welcome to dine. updated kitchen equipment includes a pair of soup wells, salad bar, a condiment station

The condiment bar is a huge plus, the cheeseburgers ($3.29), double cheeseburgers ($4.59) or even philly cheese steaks ($4.99) lifted off the flat-top and fit inside a warm, steamy bun, ready for your choosing. here, have a few extra pickles, onions, black olives or green peppers. breakfast options include the traditional bacon, eggs, sausage, biscuits and grits, as well as bagels and yogurt parfaits. The hot bar rotation features southern faves such as fried chicken and meatloaf. and what’s a canteen without the drinks?

rutledge cab co. a filling station for diners rutledge cab. co.
by deidre schipani Special to The Post and Courier
i
rony is not wasted on the fact that robert carter and rutledge cab co. share the same initials: rc. This wagener terrace neighborhood restaurant was initially called rutledge grill, but as the concept for a local dining spot was fleshed out by carter and co., it adopted the moniker of a charleston cab company, and the 1950s-era filling station assumed the trappings of a retro neighborhood dive. salvaged barn wood and reclaimed lighting set the tone for texture and atmosphere. design company splurge by robert nicholas transformed the ambience with iconic repurposed chandeliers and lighting “screws.” a marble bar, faux reptile-covered door, concretestained flooring and industrial chic stools lend to the vibe. exposed bricks, plush booths the color of dark chocolate with butterscotch cording, an actual taxicab door panel suspended over the host station and a monster “rutledge cab company” print cement the imagery of “good ol’ yellow.” The address also was home to d’s grocery, and homage is paid to this business with “d’s liquor bar” lettered over the bar. carter has partnered with industry veterans to assure the success of this, his second robert carter restaurant, following the opening of carter’s kitchen in i’on. managing partner brad creger, executive chef brian lindsey and general manager andy Fallon bring savvy hospitality, food and beverage skills to rutledge cab co. The restaurant includes a spacious patio with a community table and a bar ledge that runs around the perimeter of the enclosed space, a bar/lounge area with booths and a dining room with c-shaped booths and a few tables. The wraparound bar punctuates the patio and flanks both the bar side and patio side

The pickled cabbage topping was bland, but the hoagie roll compensated for the cabbage’s deficiency. The catch of the day was cod loin ($11), and it served as a reminder of how good cod could be. The raw onion topping, however, was out of place and out of taste on this sandwich. The food quality we tasted was quite good, from simple, well-seasoned and hot French fries to a side of tender spinach and a classic tartar sauce that flows, sauce-like and not congealed like mayonnaise. This kitchen competence is a tribute to the talents in the
kitchen and the legacy of chef carter, who has groomed quite a stable of young chefs in our community. but the pacing of service struggled, especially as the crowds grew, which they did. our server also was tending bar. he did an admirable job shaking, pouring, stirring and then dodging over to the bar area tables in his care. he knew the menu and was quick to offer a tasting of wine and race into the kitchen to check on our orders. a thoughtful dessert menu partners well with the spiked milkshakes ($14). offerings include chocolate fondue prepared in two sizes ($14, $18); mexican-inspired churros ($7); warm house-baked chocolate-chip cookies that can be topped with ice cream; and a deep dish, individual pecan pie that is not overly sweet. as we were leaving, we saw that a rolls-royce was parked in the lot. That must be grease monkey heaven for a former filling station.

it has been 15 years since John denver was killed in a plane crash. in that time, music styles and trends have come and gone, but like other musicians whose music made an indelible mark on society, denver’s music remains timeless. now, an impressive roster of contemporary artists has joined together to record a tribute album to denver. how impressive, you ask? how does my morning Jacket covering

That leadoff track features some sounds that are fairly close to what ok go is producing these days, but the song was nonetheless intriguing. track two, “all the time,” seemed more along the lines of why we fell in love with The strokes’ first album. song Three could have gone either way, so i was surprised to hear a jumpy, almost plastic track that would have been perfectly suited for ricky martin. something was definitely up.
“welcome to Japan” and “80s comedown machine” took the album back into dance-pop territory, making me wonder just what exactly the members of The strokes have been listening to for inspiration. a couple of later tracks, “slow animals” and “partners in crime,” hint at a return to the band’s garage rock sound of yore, but by then the damage had been done.
max- and r. crumb-inspired cover art to the conceptual arc of the songs, which deal with bowers life experience during the financial crisis of the past few years, is above average. two years in the making, “turning point” features different music styles to convey different moods on the album. The opening track, “Freight train,” is a rollicking roots-rock number complete with hammond organ and backup singers. The next song, “how you doing baby,” is divided up into three parts; it starts reminiscent of delbert mcclinton before delving first into pink Floyd-inspired blues, then into a lovely pedal-steel section. The album has a definite americana vibe to it, and the musicians bowers assembled to
perform on the album are beyond impressive. we’re talking folks who have performed or recorded with the likes of fun., shawn colvin, miles davis and david lowery. check out bowers’ website, turningpointbytb.com, for a complete list and prepare for your jaw to drop. another reason to check out the site is the fact that, for a limited time, you can download the entire album for $1. no catch, no tricks; one buck gets you what is obviously a labor of love for this self-taught musician. The whole thing might sound a bit selfindulgent, but in this case, that actually works in the album’s favor.
“leaving on a Jet plane” grab you? That track, which leads off the album, is easily the best of the bunch, but the quality of the covers is maintained by the remaining artists. dave matthews does a great job with “take me to tomorrow,” while old crow medicine show works its usual acoustic magic on “back home again.” lucinda williams’ voice seems perfectly suited for “This old guitar,” and edward sharpe and the magnetic Zeros give my morning Jacket a run for its money on “wooden indian.”
other artists featured on the cd include J. mascis, amos lee, evan dando and mary chapin carpenter. while the artists put their own special mark on their respective songs, they also keep faithful to denver’s original sound. it’s a loving tribute to an artist whose music touched a couple of generations of folk and country fans.

turf war
it’s been a while since a band like turf war came along. The atlanta-based quintet is that booze-fueled, socially apathetic punk-rock band pushing in its amps on skateboards for the party that we all wanted to be at when things like responsibility and financial stability were voids in the teenage consciousness. if you can imagine hipster-punks playing southern-inspired indiepunk about skating, drinking and growing up in a way that doesn’t feel contrived or gimmicky or trendy, then you have a sense for what turf war brings to the table. The band originally formed in augusta in 2009 before moving to atlanta and signing with old Flame records (dead confederate, twin tigers). The band spent two years sharpening its sound on the road before recording its 2011 debut, “years of living dangerously,” under the pro-

For its part, the hackensaw boys have been a relatively underground player in the americana/bluegrass movement since their founding in 1999, releasing four studio albums and one live album between 2000 and 2007. The band has paid its dues, having played for several years on street corners and bars while occasionally earning its way onto larger stages alongside such acts as The Flaming lips, cracker, modest mouse, cheap trick and de la soul. The hackensaw boys have even been playing some of the nation’s largest festivals, including bonnaroo and telluride, while also taking the stage at international festivals in ireland, norway and belgium.

Though not mainstream, alt-rock innovators They might be giants has survived three decades of musical evolution by staying true to its self-made style that has remained as inventive and unique today as it was when John Flansburgh and John linnell formed the group in 1982. with a handful of charting singles and albums over the course of its career, the duo also has managed to earn a grammy and perform two popular television theme songs, one for “The daily show” and the other for “malcolm in the middle.” The band’s latest album, “nanobots,” was released this year and continues the pair’s progressive tradition of merging elements of new wave and american alternative rock in ways that melt away any other comparison.

sea and sand Festival on Folly celebrates its 23rd year
ew people feel charleston’s change in seasons like the business owners in beach communities. while cooler weather means most of us may gather at oyster roasts and head home earlier in the evening, the small businesses on Folly beach rely on locals who keep their doors open with a steady trickle of income between october and march. when april rolls around, they’re eager to roll out the welcome mat and invite visitors back to the island. it’s that spirit that motivated the Folly association of business to begin hosting a spring festival in the early ’90s. now in its 23rd iteration, the sea and sand Festival attracts as many as 15,000 visitors to center street for a weekend of food, music and fun, officially ushering in the season of bathing suits, flip-flops and easy living.

That contest continues throughout the weekend, concluding at 5 p.m. sunday. in addition to the island’s best surfing talent, continuous live music at the bar at blu includes dJ wade and the ben Fagan duo. beginning at 10 a.m. saturday and continuing until 5 p.m., several blocks of center street will be closed to vehicular traffic for the main event, accommodating the crowd and more than 100 food and art vendors — more than three times the vendors of any other Folly festival — as well as children’s activities. an on-site silent auction will raise funds for island charities. leashed pets are welcome at the festival, and there is no admission charge. sunday’s events have expanded to include the mr. John’s beach store coffin island sand sculpting contest, beginning at noon in front of the tides Folly beach hotel. all types of sand sculpture are allowed, and entrants can join as a family (up to six participants) or as a group of up to four with a $10 registration fee per entrant to benefit the Folly beach park and recreation department. sculptures will be judged in the categories of most original, most Folly themed and best overall for a total of six awards, with judging occurring at 3 p.m. to pre-register, go to www.folly beachfestivals.com. The weekend closes sunday afternoon at blu with the sea and sand after-party featuring music from the east coast party band. bounds recommends arriving early saturday morning to beat traffic or, better yet, booking a room or crashing with friends on the beach on Friday night. “when you wake up on Folly beach, you get the whole experience,” bounds said. “sea and sand generates an atmosphere that sets the tone for summertime on Folly beach. it’s the island’s biggest event, from every angle you look at it.”
celebration of Folly culture, bringing together island residents with visitors to enjoy the best of the beach’s arts and culture. events include free yoga classes and live music at Folly Friday, with the official festival kicking off with a 5k Fun run and walk on saturday, followed by seven hours of bands performing on two stages, a surf competition, sand sculpture contest and wrap-up party on sunday.
A festival is born
bob linville, who was mayor of Folly beach in 1990, remembers when sea and sand first was suggested at a city council meeting as a way to welcome visitors back to the beach in the spring. “it started slow but gained momentum fast,” linville recalls. “sea and sand quickly became a highly anticipated event. it brings us out of the winter doldrums, so to speak.” musician rick martinez is among those still around who have had a hand in nearly every year of the festival. his band, the shakin’ martinis, are consummate sea and sand performers, rejoining the lineup this year with their mix of beach music and old-time rock ’n’ roll. “The first year we had it, it was kind of a cold afternoon, and there were probably only a couple hundred people hanging around,” said martinez, who now gets the band together for extra practices before what’s become their biggest gig of the year. “it wasn’t anything like it is nowadays. we’re just so happy that they keep asking us to come back and play.” Festival director ben bounds emphasizes that with so many musicians living and performing on Folly, it makes sense to keep the bands as local as possible. “we try to mix in a couple of the old favorites from the island, as well as focusing on the up-and-coming bands that may be touring but are based on the beach,” bounds said. The shakin’ martinis are joined this year by headliners James Justin & co., a bluegrass/americana trio that formed on Folly beach but relocated last year to richmond, va. its latest album, “places,” features the song “our little island,” written as a love song for Folly. They recently released a video filmed on Folly for the song. a more recent Folly resident, Fuller condon (of the two man gentleman band), will perform with old-time ukulele band The v-tones, in addition to local acts sweet t ‘n a (a folk/humor duo), the Folly

Festival-goers enjoy hot buttered corn on the cob during a previous Sea and Sand Festival at Folly Beach. beach bluegrass society (a collective of friends and pickers who meet weekly to practice their craft) and the Folly beach reggae all-stars, who formed in 2012 as a side project for local musicians looking to relax and play island grooves. “sea and sand is a true presentation of Folly’s people,” said “rasta” rick stonecypher, a founding member of the reggae all-stars and a Folly resident since 2007. “a festival celebrating simple, happy times is exactly what people need. This festival inspires me to get out and get
active. neighbors get together and share plans for the future and start the great warm beach fun that Folly is famous for.” That reputation dates back far beyond the days when the late karen stringer first organized sea and sand with the business association. when she died, friend and longtime volunteer sharon geiger took the reigns. geiger recalls one early motivation for sea and sand was the promotion of local potters, painters and jewelrymakers. artists maintain a
strong presence at the event today with the Folly river park serving as the hub for displaying and vending their works. “This is really a community project,” geiger said. “it’s one of the first things to bring so many people to the beach in one day. most of the residents enjoy it, and it’s important to the businesses.” after ensuring that sea and sand reached its 20th anniversary in 2010, geiger passed the torch to bounds and his company, Follywood productions. “all of our festivals on Folly beach are important for our local businesses, whether they’re tour companies, retail stores or restaurants and bars, because the events allow them to stay open 12 months of the year, and without them, we’d have a seasonally shuttered center street,” said bounds, referencing other festivals like Follypalooza, taste of Folly and Folly gras. “sea and sand is particularly important because it’s our longestrunning festival on Folly.”

ace’s on bridge
By BOBBY WOLFF
In today’s deal the North-South pairwereusinganartificialseries of calls after Stayman to distinguish between those balanced hands with slam interest that had four-card support for partner, and those that did not. Their agreement was to use a jump to four no-trump after Stayman as quantitative, not Blackwood, and to use four diamonds as agreeing partner’s major with a balanced hand. South heard his partner make a slam try and decided his extra shape and nice controls were enough to drive to slam after Blackwood. Indeed, six hearts was a decent contract, but required careful play. When West led his singleton club,declarercouldseehehadsix
tricks in the side suits. To come to 12 tricks, he would need to score two ruffs in one hand or the other anddrawtrumpsafterthat.Thus, he needed to play for ruffs before drawing trump. He took the opening club lead with the ace and returned the suit. West showed out, correctly discarding a spade rather than ruffing in. Declarer won his club kingandnowtookthetopspades, ruffed a spade low, then gave up a club. East won and played a fourth club, and declarer ruffed highanddrewtrumps,relyingon the 3-2 break. Notice that if declarer plays to take diamond ruffs in dummy with a low trump, then a high trump, East can overruff early and defeat the slam.

ear abby: i would like to know what the fascination is with putting plugs in one’s earlobes. i have seen some as large as halfdollar coins. what does the person do if he regrets having done this to his ears? can the holes be surgically closed? — unpierced in scottsdale, ariZ. DEAR UNPIERCED: I spoke to James Wisniewski of the Body Electric Tattoo piercing studio in Los Angeles. He told me that, as with any type of body modification, the ear plugs are a matter of personal taste. The process is referred to as “stretching,” and Wisniewski has had his earlobes this way for the past 14 years. He says he is asked about the procedure on a daily basis. He is attracted to it for the aesthetics. The modification is a gradual process, with larger jewelry being inserted as the hole becomes larger. James recommends consulting a plastic surgeon if someone decides to have the hole closed because new tissue is grown as a result of the earlobe stretching. The extra skin may have to be removed in the same way as after a major weight loss. dear abby: i am 17 and i want to start writing a book about things i have been through in my life. my family is all for it, but my friends are against it. i am torn about what i should do. i feel if i write this book, it will help kids my age who may have been through some of the same things i have. should i go through with it or not because my friends think it’s a stupid idea? i know i’m not exactly the smartest person and getting a publisher is difficult, but does that make it a stupid idea to try? — conFlicted in indiana DEAR CONFLICTED: Your reason for wanting to write a book is a valid one, and you should proceed with it regardless of what your friends think. It will help you
dear abby organize your thoughts, and if you show your chapters to your English teacher, you can effectively sharpen your writing skills. Worrying about a publisher now is putting the cart before the horse. While it might be helpful for other teens to read, I promise you that even if the book isn’t published, it will become a treasured time capsule containing the thoughts that were important to you during this formative period of your life. Some people your age start writing in diaries or journals and continue doing it throughout their lives. dear abby: what is the correct response when asked at a doctor’s office or hospital if you drink? i drink socially, maybe once a month. should i say yes? if i do, i’m afraid it will imply that i drink more often. i always end up feeling awkward and like i need to explain myself. i’m pretty proud telling them i don’t smoke or do drugs, but the alcohol question always gets me. what do other people who drink on occasion usually say? — Filling out the Forms in ohio DEAR FILLING: In my doctor’s office I was asked that question, and my response was, “Yes, occasionally.” At that point, the follow-up question was, “How many drinks do you have a week?” Because this particular question makes you uncomfortable, mention to your physician that you indulge in alcohol only about once a month, which is practically negligible. write dear abby at www. dearabby.com or p.o. box 69440, los angeles, ca 90069.
