As the heat intensifies, the jams become that much cooler as the seventh annual Summer Jam takes over Statesboro.

Statesboro’s own local music festival reappears Saturday, July 18, at South City Tavern with a $7 admission fee. The music begins at 7 p.m., and this year's acts offer variety in what may be the most exciting local lineup to date.

This year’s Summer Jam will consist of local bands, highlighted

by Statesboro’s longest-standing band: Those Cats. Along with the funk and blues band, the rising talent of the Tall Paul Band, The Orange Constant, Sumilan, Piano. and Tent City will also be in attendance.

This event also highlights local businesses, Airbound Entertainment representative, William Bridwell said.

“We just come together to have a good time during the summer,” Bridewell said. “It’s all about supporting live music and, more importantly, local live music.”

Summer Jam will be put on by first-time host South City Tavern.

South City is known for hosting other music events and supporting local talent, including the Boropalooza events of the last two years.

“South City has had multiple events and they all went very well,” Bridewell said. “The venue is very well run and supportive of local talent.”

Tall Paul Band will take the stage at 7 p.m., followed by the Orange Constant at 9 p.m. and Sumilan at 11 p.m. — all on the inside stage.

The outside stage will liven up when Piano. begins playing at 8 p.m.

They will be followed by Tent City at 10 p.m. Headlining band Those Cats will wrap up the night with their show

beginning at midnight.

South City Tavern will officially open the doors at 5 p.m., offering early bird tickets for $5. After 8 p.m. the price for admission will be $7. The bands will occupy two stages, indoor and outdoor, while trying to keep the music going until closing time at 1 a.m.

Local brewing company Eagle Creek will also be in attendance, offering two two summer beers for sampling and giving away koozies and other prizes, Bridewell said.

“This event gives the community a chance to see what Statesboro has to offer,” Bridewell said. “Local music isn’t that big around Statesboro, so we are trying to get the names out there while also supporting other local aspects of the community.”w

Q: Is a clinical evaluation the same as an alcohol/drug evaluation? Is an alcohol/drug evaluation the same as an alcohol/drug assessment? Are all clinical evaluators on a state registry?

A: Evaluations and assessments are usually interchangeable terms; however, clinical evaluations are mandatory by DBHDD for all first and subsequent DUI offenders. Both alcohol and drug assessments and clinical evaluations require a face-to-face interview with a clinician. DUI offenders can only be evaluated and/or treated by clinicians on the DBHDD state registry.

More cowbell! Detroit suburb seeks to set ear-ringing record

TRENTON, N.J. — The largest marketer of "As Seen on TV" products says a settlement with New Jersey consumer affairs officials will lead to an improved shopping experience for customers.

New Jersey reached the settlement with Telebrands Inc. after saying the company used high-pressure sales tactics and made it difficult for customers to get refunds. State consumer affairs officials announced Monday the Fairfield-based company has agreed to revise its interactive voice response ordering system.

But wait, there's more: The company has to pay the state $550,000.

ROYAL OAK, Mich. — The Detroit suburb of Royal Oak wants to hear a lot more cowbell.

The Daily Tribune reports the "more cowbell" line from a 2000 "Saturday Night Live" TV sketch is part of the inspiration for an effort to break the Guinness World Records mark for the most people to ring a cowbell at once.

The attempt is Aug. 1 during the Cowbell Classic 10K and 5K run.

Matt Flynn, race director for Ultimate Fun Runs, says they're ordering 3,000 cowbells to be rung for five consecutive minutes. He says: "It's probably more difficult than you think, because that's a long time to listen to cowbells."w

myself. This suggestion of inevitability makes me sad — and uncomfortable. It brings to mind the many times I have been wounded in recent years, but also the many times I have done the wounding.

But the idea is also very forgiving.

People aren’t perfect, and though you can try your hardest to be kind and decent, occasionally you fail. It does not absolve you, morally, of responsibility, but it does make it easier to accept and deal with it when you do inflict those wounds. It helps you forgive yourself and avoid repeating the mistake in the future. It also makes you a little more forgiving toward people who do the wounding.

It does not mean you have to stay in a position where they can hurt you again, but that understanding — that

mercy — helps you move on. And sometimes, certain things have to die to make room for something new, and perhaps better, for everyone involved.

These are the thoughts I’ve been working through as I water my tiny potted garden every day. I still have seven of the little cockscombs — looking a little scrubby but hanging in there. Five have died. I wouldn’t go so far as to say that their withering was necessary for learning. I would like to think that accidentally killing things is more of an occupational hazard than a requirement. But like it or not, things die, and if I plan to grow anything in the future, I certainly have experiences to learn from.

Q: Do you focus on Endodontics?

A: I do perform endodontics (root canals) regularly, but I do not focus on endodontics exclusively. I am a General Dentist and treat a wide variety of dental problems. In Statesboro, there are two root canal specialists (Endodontists) which come up from Savannah on a rotating daily basis. They restrict their practice to endodontic treatments only.w I perform many root canals in my office but do refer out the more complex cases, as most General Dentists do.

Easy day trips for the rest of the summer For those whose summers are limited by school schedules, there is only about a month left for the vacation season. That doesn't leave much time for a full-scale, cross-country, Kerouac-ian adventure.

Instead, squeeze in a few smaller road trips to the underrated gems of the Southeast. From the mountains to the beaches, the modern and the historic, the urban elite and the welcoming comfort of the Lowcountry, you are rarely out of a few hours’ driving distance of something truly beautiful in the South.

Savannah: This one seems like an easy out for this list, but the big perk of Savannah is that it’s close enough for a traveler to enjoy all the touristy stuff and get a local’s taste of the town. And what better way to do it than an unofficial, underground bar crawl?

It’s self-timed, self-directed and does not include any obnoxious drunk people you didn’t invite yourself.

You won’t find any other like it in Savannah, and it only takes four easy steps.

1. Pick your poison. For strategy’s sake, it’s best to think of one cocktail

you wouldn’t mind consuming an awful lot of in one night. You can always branch out when you get to your destination, but for comparison’s sake, you might want to dedicate yourself to one or two.

2. Pick a starting point. Find a bar you’d like to sample, preferably one off the beaten path. (Yes, we all know Lulu’s Chocolate Bar is simply divine, but be a little more adventurous.) We’d like to suggest Kevin Barry’s Irish Pub on the riverfront or Jen’s & Friends on Bull Street.

3. Ask the bartender. Order your first drink and then start chatting up the person behind the bar. Ask them:

SPECIAL

You know what they say: When the going gets boring, the bored get going. ...Or something like that.

“What’s the best place to get a [insert that chosen drink here]?” More often than not, you’ll end up getting a few insider tips from a local alcohol expert who will direct you to the places you might not find on the TripAdvisor page. Follow your bartender’s instructions to your next location.

4. Repeat step 3 for as long as your wallet and tolerance allow. And make a list of all the places you tried, because you might not remember them the next morning.

Atlanta: Again, this seems like an obvious choice, but most people try to hit up Atlanta for the nightlife. Forget that.

Go for the arts.

While Atlanta does not have the kind of theatre scene New York or other cultural hubs are known for, it’s nothing to turn your nose up at — and it’s considerably more affordable.

Atlanta is home to some remarkable community-level theatre groups with high-caliber performers and cozy, intimate venues. To start, try out The Aurora Theatre in Lawrenceville, a suburb well within Atlanta’s sprawl.

Their recent production of the off-Broadway musical Hands on a Hardbody featured “one of the year’s stand-out musical ensembles,” according to ArtsAtl.com, so their upcoming show, Memphis, should be one to see.

If your tastes tend to be a bit more classic, Atlanta is home to what has been called the best Shakespearean venue this side of the pond: The Shakespeare Tavern, shaped like a miniature Globe Theatre and nestled snugly on Peachtree Street NE in the middle of downtown. The Shakespeare Tavern provides original-practice Shakespeare performances: no gimmicks, no weird themes, just what the Bard intended. Their command of the language is effortless and their interpretation of the text is often hysterical, taking full advantage of all the bawdy humor Shakespeare slipped in there for the groundlings. It’s a blast every time you go, and you can enjoy a pub dinner and a pint while you watch the show. Their current production is A Midsummer Night’s Dream (what else?), and it’s begging you to make the

Your summer road trip survival guide getting it serviced. Also, bring some tools for minor repairs in case you need them, as well as registration, proof of insurance and AAA membership cards, if you have them.

3. Make an itinerary for your journey. Before leaving, we sat down and determined the destinations along I-40 we wanted to check out on the way. Those stops helped to break up the monotony of the trip and gave us and our pups an opportunity to stretch out.

Use Google maps and reviews to find top-rated attractions that are fun, cheap, free or kid/pet friendly on the way to your destination.

4. Consider the kids (or furchildren, if you have any). Kid-friendly music, lots of DVDs and some fun car ride games (like the Alphabet Game, I Spy or 21 Questions) are a must for traveling with kids. For kids and pets, it’s important to pack lots of bottled water and medicines in case of carsickness or injury, provide plenty of

bathroom breaks and stay at hotels who give special attention to kids or are pet-friendly. Websites like BringFido, GoPetFriendly and PetFriendlyTravel are good resources to locate lodging and attractions that cater to your furry family members.

5. Consider your own entertainment. An awesome playlist, some really funny stand-up comedy or an audiobook series can make a long trip seem much shorter. Cracker Barrel even has an audiobook rental program, where you can rent and exchange audiobooks at any of their locations!

6. Stay clean and nourished. It’s easy to fall into the habit of eating fast food at every mealtime stop, but healthy alternatives are out there. Before leaving, purchase a supply of healthy snacks that don’t require refrigeration (think dried fruit, pretzels, granola bars and trail mix) so that you can stay healthily nourished without making time-consuming pit stops for greasy food. Also, long

hours of sitting in the car can make you feel sticky and gross. Remember to pack baby wipes, dry shampoo and mouthwash to keep yourself feeling fresh along the way. It’s also a good idea to pack medications like ibuprofen, antihistamines and antacids in case of any sickness or aches and pains.

7. Have fun! It’s really easy to get cabin fever after being in the car with the same people for hours on end. Make sure to keep your sense of humor, allow for silence when needed, and keep your cool as much as possible to keep crankiness from becoming conflict. Keeping each other in good spirits will ensure a happier time once you arrive at your destination.

By following these tips and tricks to road travel, hopefully the journey will be almost as fun as the vacation itself. Bon voyage!w

As I write to you, I am currently about 2,500 miles away in sunny California. My boyfriend and I, with our German shepherd and pit bull, made the trip by truck from Savannah to central California in about 48 hours.

Although the trip was long, we managed to squeeze in a ton of fun, pet-friendly things to do along the way and enjoy the ride along Route 66.

Are you planning to hit the open road this summer? If so, I have a few helpful suggestions for you that might make your journey much more enjoyable.

1. Budget your time and money wisely. Before you gas up the car, make sure you know where you’re going and have a very liberal estimate of what it’s going to cost you to get there. It’s a smart idea to give yourself a few extra days (and extra cash) in case of roadside emergencies and/or unexpected expenses.

2. Get the car ready. Make sure your vehicle is ready for the trip by

The buildings of St. Augustine, Fla., are marvels of Spanishinfluenced architecture.

Pictured here is Flagler College, and its lovely campus is definitely worth a wander.

Matt Sowell

Road trip: St. Augustine, Florida St. Augustine is a weird mix of tourist traps, hipsters, history and bizarre creepiness, making it the ideal stop for a road trip. With everything from a historical fort to a freak show inside an old Victorian house, it’s impossible to get bored. It’s a pretty easy three-hour drive — and is totally worth it.

Where to stay:

c The Pirate Haus Inn: A quaint

hostel located in Old Town. If you stay here, you’re within walking distance of most of the attractions.

c

St. George Inn: This option is pricier, but still located in the heart of

Old Town. For a fancier, more resortlike feel, this is your best option.

c

Breakfast:

The Manatee Café: It’s a short drive from Old Town and very much worth it. Starting at 8:30 a.m., The Manatee serves breakfast all day. It’s

relatively healthy and includes vegetarian and vegan options. Top picks: The breakfast burrito or pancakes.

c

Lunch:

Literally anywhere on St. George Street: This boulevard has just about anything you could imagine, and every place is worth it. Some highlights include Cruisers Grill, known for their burgers, and Pizza Time (yes, the name is cheesy, but this pizza is lifechanging).

c

Snacks:

The Hyppo: Popsicles may seem childish, but these are delicious, made from scratch with real fresh fruit.

French Fry Heaven: It’s exactly what it sounds like: lots of French fries.

The difference between this place and other venues is the assortment of specialty fries you can get.

Gelato Time: Again, cheesy name but killer product. They have pretty much any type of gelato you could want, but the standout is a blackberry cabernet that tastes just like wine.

Dinner:

The Floridian: This place is very popular amongst locals. The menu includes tons of vegan and vegetarian options and the ingredients are local. It’s a great place to sit back and relax after a long day. Top picks: Cornbread Stack, 'N Grits or the Brisket Posole.

c The Fountain of Youth: This is

it — the mysterious place you’ve heard about. It may not actually work, but it’s

definitely a fun roadside attraction.

c Wolf ’s Mystery Museum:

Located in an old Victorian house, this place is not a place for the easily offended or faint of heart. The owner is friendly and willing to share his collection of oddities, displayed for all to see. It’s a cheap attraction that makes for an interesting walkthrough.

Potter’s Wax Museum: Keeping up with the creepy vibe, Potter’s is a must. This place isn’t intentionally creepy, but it will definitely give you a chill.

Ripley’s Train Tour: St. Augustine is the oldest city in the United States. There is history around every corner. Rather than touring it on foot, Ripley’s offers a train ride through the city that shows guests all of the highlights.

Casa De San Marco: You really can’t miss this when driving into St. Augustine. It’s a massive fort from the early days of America and is totally worth touring. Highlights include feeling kind of like Indiana Jones and the fact that sometimes they fire cannons.

Shopping on St. George Street: If you like shopping, you can’t miss St George. There’s food, clothes, novelties — literally everything.

Ghost tour: There are as many ghost tour options in Saint Augustine as there are historical sites. If you’re looking for a low-key, not-so-scary one, try Ghost and Gravestones.

For the thrillseekers among you, try Paranormal Investigations inside the Old Jail. The name is a mouthful and it’s very pricey, but a ticket gives you a night of ghost hunting inside one of the most allegedly haunted places in Florida.w

drive to come enjoy it.

If you take an early drive and spend the day in the city, you can explore the verdant Piedmont Park or stop by the Botanical Gardens for a shady stroll. For lunch, you could always do the Varsity (just to say you’ve done it once), but you might be better off enjoying the Southern cooking at Mary Mac’s Tea Room or, better yet, Gladys Knight’s Signature Chicken and Waffles.

rates and the hatching season is just beginning. You may get lucky and witness a nest of tiny turtles making their first journey down to the water.

Spend the night in the Jekyll area and then head to Cumberland Island, an hour down the coast. While the island itself is a little tricky to get to, requiring passage on a ferry, it’s well worth the trip. The island has plenty of old ruins from plantation days, easily accessed by walking and biking trails.

As you explore, keep an eye out for the island’s real wildlife draw: the herds of feral horses. It may take a lot of

patience and a pinch of luck, but laying eyes on one of the last remaining wild horse populations in the U.S. is not something to miss.

The island is remote and exposed to the elements, so make sure to come prepared with sunscreen and snacks.

And clean up after yourself. You’d feel awful if some poor pony choked on your Hostess wrapper.

Georgia’s golden isles aren’t just all golf courses and five-star restaurants.

The barrier islands are also great wildlife reserves, letting you get upclose and personal with native fauna you don’t get to encounter very often.

Start with Jekyll Island, a two-hour drive south of Statesboro. Get there a few hours before sunset for an evening turtle walk ($20 per person through the Georgia Sea Turtle Center). While sea turtle sightings are not guaranteed, going now increases your odds: Georgia turtles are nesting at record

You don't have to drive all the way to California to catch a good wave. Instead, head up the coast to Folly Beach, just outside of Charleston, South Carolina.

of people are keeping a respectful distance — which isn't great for tourism's peak season. Don't feel weird about heading north for the beautiful historical city, which — in addition to a great aquarium and gorgeous downtown area — has plenty of parks and marshland to explore, not to mention some fantastic eatin' in the many, many delicious Lowcountry restaurants.

But the reason we're including Charleston on the list is its proximity to Folly Beach, which is one of the best surfing spots on the Southeast coast. If you've always wanted to discover your inner Johnny Tsunami, this is the place to do it. There are several gear rental places in the area that also offer surfing lessons, and if you get exhausted from all of your wipe-outs, you can hang out on the beach and watch the pros at work. Best of all, it's only a threehour drive away — even closer than Atlanta, and (since they're farther north) probably a bit cooler.

Time's a-wastin' and the summer's almost spent. We've given you plenty of options in this issue for a last hurrah of the season or a mini-adventure that won't break the bank. Have fun!w

The course of good football never did run smooth Retrospective: Mid-2000s usher in times of trouble for Georgia Southern Eagles In 2005, the country was continuing to heal from the horrific events of September 11, 2001, but there were plenty of other memorable news stories that took on a life of their own.

In 2005, the United States’ war in Iraq, which began in Alex 2003, continued; Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, 17-year old Natalee Holloway disappeared while on her senior trip to Aruba; and the hunt for Osama bin Laden dragged on with no success.

Big movies at the box office included Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, The Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Wedding Crashers, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Madagascar were also big hits in 2005.

After the success of Survivor opened the floodgates to a new format of “reality television”, everyone was watching American Idol, Dancing with the Stars and, of course, Survivor.

However, CSI, Desperate Housewives and Grey’s Anatomy were also huge hits.

Kanye West, 50 Cent, Green Day and Kelly Clarkson were selling a ton of CDs while a gallon of gas had skyrocketed to $2.27 due the unrest in the Middle East and Hurricane Katrina.

Meanwhile, Statesboro and Georgia Southern were continuing to grow like crazy. The population of Bulloch County exceeded 60,000 while enrollment at Georgia Southern had jumped to 16,646 by fall 2005.

On the gridiron, Georgia Southern football was on top of the I-AA world following the 2000 national championship five years earlier. But, by the mid-2000s, things had changed.

Paul Johnson accepted the head coaching job at Navy after the 2001 season — one in which Southern lost to hated rival Furman at home in the national semi-finals. By 2002, PJ was gone, Adrian Peterson had graduated and offensive coordinator Mike Sewak

was at the helm.

Sewak’s tenure as head coach lasted just four years (2002–2005), but he won ballgames. Unfortunately for him, a career regular season record of 33-11 — an average of over eight wins per year — wasn’t enough for him to keep Brown his job. Lacking postseason success (2-3 playoff record) and pissing off legendary head coach Erk Russell is not a good combination for keeping your job as head coach at Georgia Southern.

Sewak controversially fired defensive coordinator Rusty Russell — son of Erk — following the 2003 season, which ended without a postseason appearance. Erk was understandably hurt that his son was let go, but the way it was handled was what really set him off.

In the public statement announcing Russell’s termination, Sewak claimed

he had Erk’s blessing to let Rusty go.

But Erk said they never discussed anything prior to the firing and penned a very open, very angry public statement directed toward Sewak and the Georgia Southern program to tell his side of the story.

Sewak had success over the next two seasons, but lost in the first round of the playoffs in both 2004 and 2005, and was fired after the 2005 firstround playoff loss at Texas State. But the bumpy ride was just starting for Georgia Southern football.

Brian Van Gorder, a name not many people like to bring up around these parts, took over as head coach after the 2005 season. And one of the few good things he did during his year in Statesboro was to bring Erk back to the program he built.

Erk Russell spoke to the Georgia Southern football team following practice on the Thursday before the 2006 season opener. He died the

next morning.

Tragedy had already struck once that offseason: Well-liked and super-talented senior wide receiver Teddy Craft had been killed in a motorcycle accident, just two months prior to Erk’s passing.

During times of such heartbreak, football is pretty insignificant. But because football was what brought Erk, Teddy and the entire Georgia Southern family together, Eagle Nation turned to football for healing.

Hopes were high for 2006 on the field — a new head coach with NFL and major college experience was now in charge. Surely, Georgia Southern was back on the way up. Right? Wrong.

The Eagles lost their opener to Central Connecticut State ("Who?!"

Exactly.) and went on to a 3-8 record in what was the darkest year in the history of Georgia Southern football.

Georgia Southern had hit rock bottom. Aren’t you glad the story doesn’t end there?w

In this file photo from 2010, a Georgia Southern Eagle football player hugs the bust of Erk Russell, the dearly loved and dearly missed founder of Eagle football and first head coach of the team.

LEO (July 23–Aug. 22) — Someone will try to get you to do their dirty work for them. Don't pass along comments that could wound or intimidate others. Only say what you truly mean.

VIRGO (Aug. 23– Sept. 22) — Stimulating ideas will spur projects that could help you in your professional career. Your progressive attitude will catch the eye of superiors.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21) — You will be asked to mediate an argument. Stick to the facts in order to avoid inflaming tempers and being blamed for interfering. Opt

Holli Deal Saxon IT'S KIND OF A FUNNY STORY — Sheriff’s deputies contacted a man walking on Hwy. 80 East who said his car had been stolen. He said he was out talking to some women, leaving his car running, when he “saw his car go by.” He caught a ride with a man his brother went to school with, who left him at the scene when they found the car wrecked. The man said he got his belongings out of the car and slept in a “yard with a porch full of cats,” thinking he was in Bluffton, South Carolina.

He said he didn’t report the car stolen in Savannah because “I’m from the streets

and we don’t do that.” Georgia State Patrol authorities said a suspect was seen fleeing from the scene of the wreck. The complainant’s shoes was covered in mud, and he told deputies the man with whom he rode to the wreck left him at the car.

THEY’RE LEGAL NOW — A Campus Evolution Village man told police someone threw fireworks at his car, causing no damage. Also, a man living on Mud Road in Brooklet called deputies to complain of a neighbor shooting off fireworks, but deputies explained they are legal in Georgia now and the neighbor was breaking no laws.w
