Keepin’ it real
A four-day journey with the Savannah Riverkeepers It is utterly cliché to start an article with “It is a study in contrasts…” So I will spare you that, though if I weren’t so particular about avoiding clichés, it would be the most appropriate opener for this article on the Savannah River and my experience traveling down it for four days. Last month I went on the Savannah Riverkeeper’s annual river trip. It starts in Augusta, where the river settles into the coastal plain with a voluptuous repose after tumbling from the Blue Ridge Mountain, and ends in Savannah, where the river empties into the Atlantic.

Riverkeeper Dr. Frank Carl tests some river water
River Mile 200
The Savannah River flowing through downtown Augusta has a different personality than the one we know running past River Street toward the wide-open sea. Looking down from a pier in Augusta’s downtown marina, I can see seaweed undulating and small fish darting between pilings. A Bull River Cruises’ 45-foot pontoon boat, owned and captained by Mike Neal, is being loaded with gear for a four-day expedition that will take several dozen passengers and crew 200 miles downriver tracing the Savannah’s rich history and looking at what lies ahead for this great river. The water reflects the color of the sky, which is a late September blue, cold and distant in the morning, but in the afternoon it’s plumbago-blue and the golden light is the sort favored by the butterflies -- monarchs, cloudless sulphurs. Once past Augusta, the land on either side of the river turns wild -- sycamores and cypress vying for space on the banks and black willows growing on the sandbars below. “Fifty years ago there weren’t trees on those sandbars. The river used to wash over them like the ocean,” says Harold, a wonderful old fellow from Trenton, S.C., who was my seatmate for much of the trip. He grew up in the country of the upper Savan-

Environmentalists haven’t shared Ms. Hemingway’s same success when it comes to protecting the river from the exploits of industries.

Doc rows his boat ashore
Morning steam rises from the sunlit surface waters in slow wisps. A Georgia Public Broadcasting crew that is along on the trip is shooting footage of the river’s breath through light dappled leaves. Save for an occasional abandoned plywood houseboat or a rusted hull of a half submerged barge, our expedition doesn’t pass a soul. Every quarter of a mile, for the next thirty on the South Carolina side, we pass federal warning signs saying “No Trespassing. By Order of the United States Department of Energy.” There aren’t any visible buildings from the river, no reactors like Plant Vogtle looming from the river banks -- only high fences across the three tributaries that stream from SRS into the river. A quiet environmental scientist from the DOE is onboard. He tells me he has come on the river trip because he’s interested in what the Savannah Riverkeepers are saying about SRS. He describes the supersludge uranium in the underground steel tanks as having the consistency of peanut butter and being almost impossible to fully remove. I ask him how the drinking water standards for radionuclides like tritium were established, he shrugs his shoulders and calls the EPA limits a “wild-ass guess.” Then Dr. Carl gets out his oxygen test-

ing kit. He is about to demonstrate a test that measures the oxygen levels in the river water. The higher the oxygen, the healthier the water. Water can hold up to 15 parts per million (ppm) of oxygen and on this beautiful October day the Savannah River measures a dismal 4.4 ppm. Carl says that the oxygen levels generally decrease as you go downstream and that “the dissolved oxygen is too low in the Savannah Harbor to support fish life.” The Corps of Engineers’ plan for dredging the river deeper to accommodate the mega-ships will almost certainly seal the fate of the lower Savannah. The water will be nearly devoid of oxygen, and for the purpose of supporting life it will be all but dead.

“Who cooks for you? Cooks for you? Hoo Hoo,” the barn owl calls into the dark night where we camp the second night at a clearing called Cohen’s bluff. Rusted furniture and homemade benches are arranged like a kitchen and a living room, the fire pit where a coffee table would be. Someone describes the stars as blazing balls here, not the mere twinkles they’re used to. Unlike the first two days, on our third we pass a handful of other river vessels, mostly small fishing boats and one shiny houseboat complete with a white picket fence and a dog on the front astro turf lawn. We see more alligators too. “The temperature of the egg dictates the sex of a gator,” Karen explains as we glide by a 7-footer sunning itself on the mud bank. “Below 86 degrees and the gator will hatch a female.” Someone makes a joke about a hotcontinued on page

He can go 20 feet deep.� Karen’s breadth of knowledge on all things natural makes her the river’s greatest reference. It’s an odd luxury to float down a waterway while being entertained with lovely descriptions of such things like why Spanish moss is called what it is when it is neither Spanish nor moss. “Some of the first colonizers named it after what it looks to be, an old Spaniard’s beard.� She explains that it is not parasitic, but an air plant, and “in April you can see its greenish-blue blossoms, little pea pods carried on the wind to a branch.� There are few public access points to the river, and the couple that there are tend to be deep in the backcountry of Georgia and South Carolina. African American fishermen walk well-worn paths down the low-banks of places like Little Hell’s Landing, where a natural spring burbles in the sun and locals share a can of Budweiser on a Saturday afternoon in their car.

We talk in whispers, planning our early morning paddle down Ebenezer Creek. Karen has been paddling Ebenezer Creek for years as a guide for Wilderness Southeast. As we set off in the still morning twilight, she explains that the blackwater of the creek is the result of the cypress gum leaves steeping in the slow moving water, much like a pot of tea.

Authority. To our left is the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge; to our right is the “fastest growing port in the country,” says Captain Mike. Karen’s last story of the river is still unfolding: “The refuge and the port have different goals. The Port’s is to make money, the refuge is to protect endangered species.” The issue of harbor deepening has brought the two into conflict because the deepening will result in saltwater intrusion into delicate freshwater marshland. It’s a complex issue, and Karen shrugs her shoulders.
“The two will just have to figure out how to get along,” she says.

Captain Mike sides our boat up to the public dock on River Street. We disembark; standing on the concrete quay longer than necessary, taking last looks at the river as we wind up conversations.

It’s all in the ‘what-ifs’ Military Commission Act takes away basic American rights
“We have met the enemy and he is
tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely”. This law opens the door to a bleak future for the United States. Unfortunately, the Military Commission Act of 2006 has received little attention since announced and only an apathetic response from the populace. Sen. Chris Dodd (DCT) has recently proposed a bill that would change some of the more offensive aspects of the law. It behooves all citizens to pay attention to recent enactments but this one particularly warrants a loud, thunderous, overwhelming response. We have had terrorists in our midst before now. The Oklahoma Bombing and the first attack on the Twin Towers are two such examples. We did not need the Military Commission Act to interrogate, conduct an open trial, imprison, or execute these past terrorists. So why do we need this law to interrogate, torture, imprison or execute suspected terrorists now? Senator Obama bemoaned, “And the sad part about all of this is that this betrayal of American values is unnecessary. We could’ve drafted a bipartisan, well-structured bill that provided adequate due process through the military courts, had an effective review process that would’ve prevented frivolous lawsuits being filed and kept lawyers from clogging our courts, but upheld the basic ideals that have made this country great. Instead, what we have is a flawed document…”. The words penned by Billy Joe Armstrong in “American Idiot” echo in my mind:
if this president or the next ‘ What one decides that the enemy is

This law gives absolute power to one person or to a tribunal appointed by one person and therefore can create a despot and change the world as we know it. take her bumper sticker off. With this new law, the government can argue that Denise Grier is an enemy combatant because she must support terrorists since she is disagreeing with the President. I am reminded of a version of Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) poem: They came first for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up. It is the ‘what ifs’ that concern me. What if this president or the next one decides that the enemy is anyone who speaks against them, places a bumper sticker, or wears a T-shirt advocating for something that the government doesn’t like? This law gives absolute power to one person or to a tribunal appointed by one person and therefore can create a despot and change the world as we know it. As Lord Acton informed us, “power

The doctor is in -- sane!
Editor, After cooling my heels in my physician’s office for the better part of two hours, the doctor finally showed up in the exam room. In a somewhat humorous tone, I dared to suggest that my time might be valuable and perhaps his overbooking of patients was the cause of my long wait. He went ballistic. With his face just inches from mine, he proceeded to tell me he had been treating sick patients all morning, and suggested that I might want a younger doctor to better accomodate me. Without ever addressing the reason for my visit, he grabbed my medical form and his trusty computer notebook, and stormed out of the office. He was obviously in need of a vacation, or better still, another vocation. Days later I was treated like an errant schoolboy when a follow-up phone call from his office informed me that I was dismissed from his practice. I never had an opportunity to tell him that I had already “dismissed” him. I am by no means suggesting his attitude is typical of Savannah’s medical community. Yet speaking to many of my friends and associates, it is not uncommon. In business “the customer is always right”. I guess in the medical profession it is the doctor that is not only right, but allowed his tantrums. Sal Miceli
Do we know Jack?
Editor, As I write this, the Democratic Party has regained control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives. I hope your readers will remember that Rep. Jack Kingston has supported George W. Bush on all major issues including “reforming” Social Security, maintaining the $5.15 an hour minimum wage and sending thousands of American, British and Canadian troops to be killed and disabled in Iraq. I hope all Georgia voters will remember these facts when Kingston comes up again for re-election. John J. Dunn

I was thinking about this famous line from Walt Kelly (the cartoonist who created Pogo) while listening to the news recently. Kelly first used the quote on a poster for Earth Day in 1970 displaying his Pogo character. Why I thought about it is what happened on Oct. 18. It is a day that will be important to know, a day when you lost most of your rights as a human. It is the day President Bush signed the Military Commission Act of 2006. The President has assured us that the act is meant to fight terrorism and will free the government to defend this country saying, “It is a rare occasion when a President can sign a bill he knows will save American lives. I have that privilege this morning. The Military Commissions Act of 2006 is one of the most important pieces of legislation in the War on Terror….” I agree with President Bush that it is the single most important act he has signed to date. By design, this act essentially wipes out Habeas Corpus and the Bill of Rights. Habeas Corpus is considered to be the ‘great writ’, codified in 1679, and incorporated into our constitution as an unbounded right over two hundred years ago. It gives the right of all people to know why they have been imprisoned. Senator Barack Obama commented, “And instead of not just suspending, but eliminating, the right of habeas corpus - the seven centuryold right of individuals to challenge the terms of their own detention, we could have given the accused one chance - one single chance - to ask the government why they are being held and what they are being charged with. But politics won today. Politics won. The Administration got its vote…” In the Act, the definition of unlawful enemy combatant is “a person who, before, on, or after the date of the enactment of the military commission act of 2006, has been determined to be an unlawful enemy combatant by a combatant status review tribunal or another competent tribunal established under the authority of the president or the secretary of defense”. In other words, anyone the President or the Secretary of Defense believes to be against them will be considered an enemy. The mere action of giving material support to an organization that the President deems connected to terror will label you “an enemy combatant”. As an enemy, you can be tortured to the point of death and cannot invoke the Geneva Convention for protection. I know you are thinking that this law doesn’t affect you because everyone knows that you are not the enemy. The point is that should you or others decide to dissent or
even, disagree with a policy of the government, you could find yourself labeled an enemy combatant. Recently, a Georgia woman was issued a ticket for a bumper sticker that made a negative comment about this president. She was quoted, “At least initially, I was just surprised because I hadn’t done anything wrong… [but now] I am so appalled at the officer’s attempt to squash my freedom of speech…. It’s not just a Democrat/Republican issue. Y’all need to get beyond that. It’s my right to speak, and yours.” The officer asked her to remove it and she told him she would rather go to jail than

An Army deserter surrendered to police following a standoff on Nov. 15. David Bostick, 28, had managed to elude local police for two months. After officers learned what type of vehicle he was driving, they observed him in the 1300 block of East 55th Street at about 10:30 a.m. When officers attempted to apprehend Bostick, he ran into his house and barricaded himself in. He refused to talk with the police, so a perimeter was established between Cedar and Ash streets and east and west on 55th Street. An area north and south from 54th to 46th Streets also was blocked. Police hostage negotiators were called to the house to talk with Bostick at around 11 a.m. Special Operations units, including the department’s SWAT team, cornered off the area and attempted to talk Bostick out of the house. Bostick, who had been stationed at a base in Kentucky, finally surrendered without incident after a friend spoke with him on a police bullhorn. He was arrested and handed over to the Hunter Army Airfield’s Department of Defense Police. • A woman told police that her husband had hit her for no reason, then pushed her out of their apartment, locking her out. Her husband said he came home unexpectedly and found his wife and a friend doing drugs in their apartment. He said he pushed her out of the apartment and told her not to come back, but denied hitting her. The woman showed an officer marks on her arm that she said were made by her husband, but the officer wasn’t able to determine when the marks occurred. The woman was given a case report number card and advised on warrant procedures. • An officer responded to the 2000 block of East Victory Drive in reference to a fight. Upon arrival, the officer located the woman who called for help near a fast food restaurant in the area. She had a bloody lip and a top front tooth was broken out. The woman said she had been arguing with her child’s father about seeing other people. She said the man grabbed their baby and hit her in the mouth. She said the man also threatened to kill her and the baby if anyone took the child from him. She said the man then left with the child, walking westbound on Victory Drive. A short time later, the man was spotted in the area of East 42nd Street and Skidaway Drive. He still had the child with him. When he saw police, the man ran from the area and was stopped behind another fast-food restaurant on Victory Drive. He returned the child to its mother. He told po-

Bostick lice that he did argue with the woman, and said she pushed him. He was arrested and charged with battery. • A man who was driving without wearing a seat belt was stopped by an officer. The man had no driver’s license. He told the officer, “I think they just suspended it.” The officer ran the vehicle’s tag and the man’s license through GCTC and the license came back as suspended for failure to appear in court. The vehicle was displaying a 2007 decal, but the tag returned as expired. Upon further investigation, the officer learned the tag had been reported as stolen. The man was arrested and his vehicle searched. The officer found two license plates, one which was reported as stolen, and two credit cards that didn’t belong to the vehicle’s driver or owner. The vehicle was towed and the man was charged with driving with a suspended license and theft by receiving. • An officer on routine patrol observed a man run a red light at the entrance to Crossroads Shopping Center at Victory and Skidaway drives. The officer instituted a traffic stop. While approaching the vehicle, the officer noticed a strong odor of alcohol coming from the car. The driver’s eyes were glassy and bloodshot. The driver failed an alcohol screening, so he was given a field sobriety test to test his walking and turning, which he also failed. He was taken to Thunderbolt for a Breathalyzer test, after which he was taken into custody and transported to the Chatham County Detention Center. He was charged with DUI less safe, failure to obey a traffic control device and failure to change driver’s license information. His vehicle was towed. w

The pilot surprised the Los Angeles tower by radioing his decision to fly on “as far as we can” (after checking with BA headquarters, which might have been mindful that returning to Los Angeles would have meant dumping $30,000 worth of fuel and possibly
People With Too Much Time on Their Hands
In October in Cincinnati, lines once again formed well in advance of the grand opening of a Chick-fil-A restaurant, populated in part by out-of-town customers who chase openings around the country much as rock fans follow their favorite groups on tour. As usual, there were tents, sleeping bags, lawn furniture and portable generators in evidence. “We’ve been planning it for two weeks,” said a 24-year-old woman from New Richmond, Ind., who was there with her grandmother. (The first 100 in line received coupons worth $260.)
Creme de la Weird
In September, health officials in Macerata, Italy, rescued a 57-year-old woman identified only as Carmela, after a brother reported he wouldn’t be able to keep deliver-
ing food to her. It turns out that Carmela had become fearful of influenza 26 years ago, had sealed the windows of her apartment, and had not ventured out the entire time except to collect the food her brother left at her door. She weighed about 65 pounds and had hair 7 feet long, and workers required respirators to enter the home.
Least Competent Criminals Peggy Sue Hesskew, 44, was arrested in Kerrville, Texas, in November after she made a down payment to a hit man (actually, an undercover police officer) for a contract on her ex-husband. She made the contract even though the Kerrville Daily Times had reported the day before that police were on the lookout for a woman who had been asking around town for hit men. “You don’t get the paper?” asked the magistrate when she was arrested. “I was out of town,” she said.
Recurring Themes
In 2001, News of the Weird noted a U.S. tour by the Indian spiritual leader “Amma” (Mata Amritanandamayi), whose mission in life is to dispense random hugs in her attempt to calm the world’s stresses, sometimes putting in 20-hour days of straight hugging. In some countries, however, public hugging has not taken hold. Random huggers working the streets in three Chinese cities in October found that most people ignored them, and in Beijing, police detained the huggers for questioning. And in north London in October, two New York coaches staged the country’s first (non-sexual) “cuddle party” to a slowly warming group of Brits that eventually loosened up and hugged. (A recent study cited by London’s Daily Telegraph reported that at a Puerto Rican cafe, diners touched each other 180 times per hour, vs. zero in a British cafe.) w

Carbon Dioxide Surge
The rate at which carbon dioxide is entering the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels is currently increasing four times faster than it was in the 1990s, according to a report released at an environmental conference in Beijing. Despite efforts to reduce carbon greenhouse gas emissions, the global growth rate in carbon dioxide between 2000 and 2005 was 3.2 percent, compared to 0.8 percent between 1990 and 1999, reported Mike Raupach, chairman of the Earth System Science Partnership’s Global Carbon Project. “That is a very worrying sign,” said the Australian scientist. “It indicates that recent efforts to reduce emissions have had virtually no impact on emissions growth, and that effective caps are urgently needed.”
Ice on the Horizon
One of the more than 100 icebergs spotted in the waters south of New Zealand during the previous week was seen approaching the Otago Peninsula on the country’s South Island. The Maritime Safety Authority issued a warning to shipping after the chunk of Antarctic ice 650 feet long and 165 feet high was reported only 43 nautical miles offshore, heading toward the coast. This is the closest any iceberg has been to New Zealand for at least the past 75 years.

New Island Emerges
Crew members of a yacht sailing westward from the South Pacific island nation of Tonga toward Fiji say they witnessed the birth of a new island, which appears to have emerged from the Pacific during a volcanic eruption. Those onboard the Maiken initially were puzzled by the vast blanket of pumice that they sailed through for several miles. But they later came across an uncharted steaming island in Tonga’s Vava’u group, which was apparently created by an undersea volcano. The crew described the new island as being 1 mile in diameter with four peaks and a central crater. Tongan government geologist Kelepi Mafi said he plans to visit the new chunk of rock if his country can afford to dispatch a military ship.
Kenyan Flood Disaster
The Kenyan government made an urgent international appeal for aid to help the hundreds of thousands of people hit by devastating and deadly floods. The inundations were triggered by days of unusually heavy seasonal rains that swept northern and eastern parts of the country, killing at least 23 people. Roads, bridges and crops were swept away along the coast to the north and south of Mombassa, where military helicopters ferried relief supplies to tens of thousands of displaced people.
South African Swarms
Farmers in South Africa’s Northern Cape Province continued to battle large swarms of wingless locusts, which first invaded their fields in midOctober. The chairwoman of the Britstown farmers association, Nicola van der Merwe, said that one of the swarms was about a half-mile long and 650 feet wide. Intensive daily spraying operations were being

‘Elkoholic’ Bully
A drunken elk in western Sweden has been terrifying children at a school where the animal gets high on a daily dose of fermented apples. The Dagen Nyheter newspaper reports the animal has become addicted to the alcohol it gets from the rotting fruit of a tree on the school grounds. Once the elk becomes sufficiently buzzed, the newspaper says it lies down for a snooze in a defensive position in front of the tree, waking up and charging anyone who comes near. Authorities at the Eklanda school, in the Gothenburg suburb of Moelndal, called in police, but authorities have so far failed to drive away the intemperate animal. w

Holiday spirited
Professional production of The Nutcracker will be presented at the Civic Center Savannah does seem to love The Nutcracker. Every year there are several local productions that are very popular indeed. This year, there will be a full-scale professional production of The Nutcracker, presented Nov. 26 by the Columbia City Ballet at the Savannah Civic Center. “I want the audience to get the Christmas spirit, the holiday spirit,� says William Starrett, executive and artistic director of the Columbia City Ballet, which is based in Columbia, S.C. Starrett choreographed this production of The Nutcracker. “It’s our first performance of The Nutcracker for the season,� he says. “We are touring in five cities and Savannah is the first one.� Several things make this production of The Nutcracker unique, Starrett says. “For one thing, we have male dancers in the snow scene,� he says. “There are only three ballet companies in the world that do that,� Starrett says. “I feel those parts are not gender specific. The male dancers lifting the female dancers in the snow is highly effective.� Also, there is a lot of snow in this Nutcracker. “There are three snow banks, the same as the New York City Ballet,� Starrett says.
The Arabian Dance from the Columbia city production “It’s very impressive,� he says. “Especially here in the South, where we don’t get to see very much snow.� The production will have a cast of about 100 dancers, including more than 50 local dancers. “We’ve been working them for
more than a month now,� Starrett says. “Our company has 42 full-time, paid professional dancers.� Eleven-year-old Evan McGaughey of Savannah will dance the role of Clara. “We’ve been working with Evan for a couple of
years, getting her ready for the coming performance,� Starrett says. Kathryn Smoak, who danced the role of Clara for the Columbia City Ballet in 1995, will perform a solo as a grown-up Clara in the dream sequences. “Clara was my favorite role growing up,� she says. “I’m very excited to have the opportunity to re-invent the role as a more mature dancer,� Smoak says. “It also helps to add a new twist to The Nutcracker, to keep it fresh year after year.� In more traditional Nutcrackers, the first act is somewhat slow, Starrett says. In his version, there is a lot of spirited dancing in the first act. “A group of cadets come to the Christmas party,� Starrett says. “There is a lot of dancing involved. “I make it very fast-paced,� he says. “When Tchaikovsky wrote the music, there were a lot of repeats, which is not something audiences are used to these days. The music in this production is tighter.� If a role calls for an adult, an adult will dance that role and if a role calls for a child, a child will dance that role. “I use children in the child-appropriate roles,� Starrett says. “Some other companies use adults for all the parts.� The production will feature large sets and

Clara with the Nutcracker, from Columbia City Ballet dren are an integral part of the production and have to make a commitment to it.” Starrett has been involved in the Savannah dance scene since the early 1990s, so he knows there are many talented dancers in the city. The local dancers who will participate in The Nutcracker range in age from 4 to 17 years old. “The children’s wide-eyed exuberance and sheer joy at being a mouse or a bonbon or any part of The Nutcracker jump-starts me and the rest of the company into the holiday spirit,” Starrett says. “It’s part of what I need to do in terms of nurturing them for the future. “I have to constantly remind myself that this is an entirely new experience for them,” he says. “Even though I’ve been involved with The Nutcracker for more than 30 years, it’s new to them. “This is something they will never forget,” Starrett says. “Even if they don’t become professional dancers, it can be a life-changing experience. They will always remember it as a wonderful, wonderful time in their lives.” Savannah may already love The Nutcracker now, but Starrett thinks residents will be stunned by his production. “I think they won’t believe the caliber of the production and the fact that they have a production like this in their city,” he says. “I think they will be very surprised. “A lot of touring companies are worn out,” Starrett says. “They have a recipe that they do year in and year out. Our production has been made fresh and new and spirited.” There’s another twist. “It has a real Southern flavor,” Starrett says. “It’s ‘Scarlett O’Hara has come to the party.’ “The costumes are not Victorian, they’re more Edwardian, which is a lot more fun,” he says. “This is a Nutcracker that Savannah will embrace.” w The Columbia City Ballet will present The Nutcracker on Sunday, Nov. 26 at 3 p.m. at the Savannah Civic Center. Tickets range in price from $12 to $42 and are on sale at the civic center box office and by calling 651-6556.

more than 600 costumes. There also will be special effects. But at its core, the production is quite traditional, with Tchaikovsky’s lilting music and enchanting story. The Nutcracker tells the story of a little girl named Clara, who is given a special nutcracker by her godfather on Christmas Eve. This gift is by far the best present of the evening. Clara awakens in the middle of the night to a room filled with mice, and her nutcracker comes to life to save her from the evil Rat King. Clara and the Nutcracker then go on a journey to the Land of Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets, where the Sugar Plum Fairy and her court dance to thank Clara for defeating the Rat King. When Clara wakes up on Christmas morning, she wonders if it all was really a dream. This year, Starrett is celebrating his 20th anniversary as the director of the Columbia City Ballet. “My job as the artistic director is to surpass the standards already set by the previous seasons and keep the production fresh, magical and with enough new surprises that the audiences look forward to returning to see our Nutcracker,” he says. “Thanksgiving weekend is a wonderful time to see The Nutcracker,” Starrett says. “It’s a great time to reflect on what’s important. What better time to all come together and see The Nutcracker?” The Columbia City Ballet is the oldest ballet company in South Carolina, having been in existence for 28 years. “We always have people who think we’re from New York,” Starrett says. “They can’t believe we’re local.” The company will return to Savannah on Feb. 9 at 7:30 p.m. to present Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are. A motion picture based on Sendak’s popular children’s book is coming out soon. “All the ballet rights will be shut down because of that,” Starrett says. “This may be the last chance to see this ballet for many years.” Taking such a large production as The Nutcracker on the road is a huge endeavor. “It’s a huge puzzle,” Starrett says. “Fortunately, I have a terrific staff. Every year, they finetune it. “We have a very strict rehearsal schedule,” he says. “No one can miss rehearsals. Chil-

... in the local music scene
There’s a wonderfully informative, occasionally ridiculous and frequently frustrating website I peruse and contribute to regularly at www.savannahunderground.com. It’s a nonprofit, user-driven database of live concerts, film screenings, lectures and art openings in our immediate area. It’s free to join, free to use, and —while chronically ignored by far too many venues and performers who could easily take advantage of the tons of free publicity its interface affords them— exceedingly easy for even internet novices to navigate. The main portion of the site contains mostly pure, raw information on who’s doing what, when, where and why, but the Message Boards draw the most attention. They contain some of the most pure, raw, unfiltered attitude to be found relating to the relative merits of the “Savannah scene.” On any given day, dozens of participants from young teens to senior citizens converse, joke, bitch, beg, plead, yell, scream and generally muse on everything from this area’s perceived dearth of professionally-run live music venues to the purportedly monumental differences between grind-core and metal-core. Every so often, someone new joins the boards, usually after moving to Savannah from a larger metropolitan area —or at least from a place with a more traditionally entrenched music scene— and in no time flat, they’re introducing themselves with some variation of, “This place sucks. Where I come from, clubs (or bands) really have their shit together, blah, blah, blah...” This inevitably triggers a hasty retort or two from those of us who’ve lived here long enough to realize that part of Savannah’s charm is that you have to make your own fun. Just like NYC makes its own gravy every time there’s a hard rain. Sure, it’s a hassle. Sure, it would in some ways be nicer or more convenient if Savannah had a more standardized infrastructure

as far as nightclubs, rehearsal spaces, arthouse theatres and all-ages venues go. Or would it? Conventional wisdom says that with a more solid foundation, our area would spawn more original bands, DJs, spoken word artists, comics, filmmakers, etc... and that the public would be more apt to embrace them and to help them grow from local sensations to regionally, nationally or even internationally-known artists. But the simple truth is that currently, Savannah already has numerous such talents in our midst. Would their progress be given a boost from the “scene upgrades” some transplants (and locals) prattle on about ad nauseam? Probably so. But there’s also a strong possibility that those upgrades might quickly destroy two of the few things that Savannah’s underground art and music communities still have going for them (compared to those in more developed scenes): artistic naiveté and a modicum of uniqueness. Being forced to create your own fun while simultaneously bereft of the type of force-fed hyped-up media overload many cities with established scenes have to contend with on a daily basis has allowed our local creative types a much wider berth in which to let their own particular freak flags fly. It shows in the idealistic, non-commercial output of our better acts. At this time of year, we are encouraged to catalogue what we’re thankful for. So, with that in mind, here’s a few key examples of what I’m thankful for, regarding the scene which I enthusiastically call my own: I’m thankful that despite the fact we do not have a dedicated art-house cinema, the ongoing film series at the Lucas Theatre, The Sentient Bean and The Jepson Center increasingly mean that we don’t need one. I’m thankful that the Savannah Music Festival continues to delight and surprise with an evolving and (slowly) expanding field of vision, offering locals and tourists alike an annual world-class showcase that’s worth every penny it costs (and takes in). I’m thankful that this paper has joined
om. und.c ergro d n u ah avann www.s
forces with Tiny Team Concerts (of which I’m a member), putting its money where its mouth is, and proving that it cares as much about improving the quality of live entertainment in this town as reporting on it. I’m thankful that over the past few years there are several Savannah-based musicians or musical groups whose records have earned them critical acclaim both nationally and abroad, and deservedly so. I’m thankful that after almost two decades of seeming indifference to the entertainment needs of their student body (and the community at large), that SCAD has finally begun to regularly book captivating, well-known mainstream and alternative acts which hold genuine appeal to the folks who actually keep the school in business. I’m thankful that there is more than one orchestral group working hard to fill the void left by the bankruptcy of the Savannah Symphony — and that both seem to be holding their own quite nicely. And finally, I’m thankful to have had the opportunity to publicly chronicle the organic growth of these welcome trends over the past four-and-a-half years. w Jim Reed is music editor of Connect Savannah.

This showcase of modern hardcore acts (some of the Christian persuasion) seems to be a screaming, brittle, metallic overload. Headlined by Victory Records’ A Day To Remember, the show also features sets by A Heartwell Ending, Crestfallen Presence, and local newbies Practically Athens. The venue is a massive, alcohol and smoke-free club about 45 minutes from downtown that offers on-site security for parental peace-of-mind. The first 15 people through the door receive a free T-Shirt. For more info, or directions, call (912) 237-3735 or check out www.myspace.com/studiobga.

more ballsy than standard-issue indie fare. There’s much to like about their no-frills approach to image and arrangements, and the fact they clearly have an interest in getting across melodies and vocal hooks as well as power chords sets them apart from many
This recently-formed orchestra made up of both professional players and students from Statesboro’s Georgia Southern University’s orchestra program aims to bring classical music to a broad spectrum of the region’s citizenry, and this year, both of their holiday concerts (they’re also playing the night before in Statesboro at the school’s performing arts center) are being sponsored by BankSouth. The programs themselves are under the direction of conductor Cheung Chau, and include holiday favorites —such as “Let It Snow,� “Rudolph The RedNosed Reindeer,� “Festive Sounds of Hanukkah,� “Frosty The Snowman,� and Mozart’s “Magic Flute Overture,� among others — plus an audience sing-along of 9 classic carols at the close of each show. Tickets can be purchased at the SCAD Box Office (216 E. Broughton St.) or by calling 525-5050 or online at www.scadboxoffice.com. Children 18 and under will be admitted free with an accompanying paid adult. Tues., 8 pm, Lucas Theatre.
Flamin’ Yawn
This up-and-coming local guitar/bass/ drums trio plays loud and aggressive original rock that’s not quite metal, but definitely
ty, and now they’re tracking a live CD at this, one of their favorite rooms. Fri. - Sat., 8 pm, The Jazz Corner (Hilton Head).
The Alex Nguyen Quintet
One of the hottest young musicians to ever emerge from Savannah, Nyuen quickly rose through the ranks of promising local high school music students to win the International Trumpet Guild Jazz Competition (!) and place second in the National Trumpet Competition. He now attends the University of North Florida in Jacksonville (one of the top jazz schools in the USA), where he’s pursuing a degree from legendary musician and educator Bunky Green. Those outside our area may have caught him at the Monterey Jazz Fest or the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, but from time to time, Alex lines up a hometown gig. If you haven’t yet enjoyed the evolving talent of this 21-year-old, now’s as good a time as ever. Admission is only $5 to this brand-new listening room and dessert bar. Fri. - Sat., 9 pm, Kokopelli’s Jazz Club.

This singing pianist’s combo’s latest 2-CD set of straight-ahead jazz spent 10 weeks on the U.S. Top 50 Radio Charts. His current group includes a drummer, saxman, bassist and female vocalist.

This powerhouse singer/songwriter has been such a mainstay on the local music scene for years now that it’s easy to forget just how good he truly is at writing and performing memorable, poetic rock, blues and contemporary folk songs. One of the few local artists who’s able to get away with playing virtually all his own material at bars and restaurants whose patrons are more accustomed to hearing shopworn soft-rock warhorses than vibrant, unfamiliar new music, he gets away with it on the sheer worth of his material. The combination of his facile fretwork on the guitar a vocal range and control that’s so spot-on it’s almost eerie have taken him far. He’s toured nationally, and released a handful of highly acclaimed indie CDs. Don’t let the regularity with which he plays in this area fool you. He’d be a shining star in any town. Fri., 10 pm, Jen’s & Friends + Sat., 10 pm, Molly MacPherson’s Scottish Pub. w

After a typically exciting pre-credits sequence, Casino Royale -- like almost all James Bond films before it -- employs the triedand-true image guaranteed to raise the pulses of Bond fans all across the globe. The dapper agent strolls into the frame, whirls around and fires directly at the circular camera eye while the classic 007 theme plays on the soundtrack. Only... Where’s the music? Monty Norman’s familiar riff does show up during the end credits, but it’s conspicuously missing from the beginning. Producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson insisted that the franchise would largely be starting from scratch with this, the 21st film, but let’s face it: Not employing that beloved tune was a serious miscalculation. Fortunately, it’s about the only one. In most other respects, Casino Royale ranks among the best Bond films produced over the past 44 years -- it’s just a shade away from being worthy enough to breathe the rarefied air of Goldfinger, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, The Spy Who Loved Me and the criminally underrated For Your Eyes Only. It easily swats aside the Pierce Brosnan Bond flicks, while new star Daniel Craig vies with Timothy Dalton for second place as the screen’s best 007 (it’s doubtful Sean Connery will ever relinquish the gold). Casino Royale was actually the first Bond book penned by Ian Fleming, so it’s fitting that it serves as the source material for this refashioning of the series. Basically, this new film wipes away the previous 20 installments by going back to when James Bond was first promoted by M (Judi Dench, the only holdover from the Brosnan years) to the level of a double-oh agent with a license to kill. Bond’s first mission of import is to enter a poker tournament being held in Montenegro’s Casino Royale, where he’s to prevent Eurotrash villain Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen), a personal financier of the world’s terrorist organizations, from emerging victorious and collecting the sizable pot. Aiding him in his assignment is Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), a treasury agent who proves to be Bond’s match in the verbal sparring department. The character of Vesper Lynd -- one of the sharpest women in the Bond oeuvre -- is just one of the many pleasing touches on view in this slam-bang chapter. The most notable differences can be found in the secret agent himself: As intensely played by Craig, this James Bond isn’t a suave playboy quick with the quip and bathed in an air of immortality but rather a sometimes rough-hewn bruiser who makes mistakes, usually keeps his sense of humor in check, and, because he’s just starting out, possesses more flashes of empathy than we’re used to seeing in our cold-as-ice hero. 1/2

BOBBY ď‚śď‚ś
For all its fast and loose playing with the facts, JFK was a remarkable movie that, except for some tepid domestic scenes between the Kevin Costner and Sissy Spacek characters, exclusively focused on the Kennedy legacy and how his death impacted a nation. Bobby, on the other hand, is as much about Robert Kennedy as Stone’s World Trade Center was about 9/11 -- it uses a national tragedy as a springboard for a more generic Hollywood product. Set in Los Angeles’ Ambassador Hotel in the hours leading up to Kennedy’s assassination at the hands of Sirhan Sirhan, Bobby is inspired by the 1932 Oscar winner Grand Hotel (referenced in the film) as well as by the sort of multistory TV shows director Emilio Estevez grew up with (Hotel, Fantasy Island, The Love Boat, Supertrain, etc.). So while Democratic staffers are busy prepping for Bobby’s visit, other soggy dramas are being played out in the site’s corridors and rooms. The hotel manager (William H. Macy) passes the time by cheating on his wife (Sharon Stone) with a switchboard operator (Heather Graham) and by handing walking papers to the bigoted employee (Christian Slater) in charge of kitchen operations. A Mexican busboy (Freddy Rodriguez), upset that he has to miss an important Dodgers game because he’s being forced to work two consecutive shifts, finds a sympathetic ear in the philosophical cook (Laurence Fishburne). A boozy nightclub singer (Demi Moore) picks fights with her managerhusband (Estevez). A former Ambassador doorman (Anthony Hopkins) reflects on all the great leaders he greeted over the years at the front of the posh establishment. A hippie (Kutcher) sells drugs from the comfort of his hotel room. And so it goes. The film flickers to life whenever it gets around to focusing on its title character. There are a few nice speeches about the American future that Bobby represents if he can get elected president (folks often reflect on how this country might have turned out had JFK lived, but the same can obviously be said regarding his brother), and the final portion of the picture, with Kennedy’s own words being heard over the aftermath of his fateful encounter with Sirhan Sirhan, exhibits a power and poignancy missing from the rest of the movie.
THE FOUNTAINď‚śď‚ś1/2
The word from the Venice Film Festival, where The Fountain first saw the light of day, was that the latest work from writer-director Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, Pi) is a dull and pretentious slice of sci-fi silliness, at once too cerebral and too slow-moving. Funny, a lot of folks once said the same thing about Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, and now it’s routinely considered one of the two or three greatest science fiction films ever made. Mind you, I’m not placing The Fountain on that esteemed level, but to dismiss this out of hand is to miss the overriding passion that Aronofsky pours into every frame of his wildly uneven but always watchable epic. Perhaps inspired by his muse, reallife fiancee (and mother of his child) Rachel Weisz, Aronofsky has penned a love story that spans the centuries -- yet that’s only part
of the tale. Jumping back and forth between past, present and future, the film stars Hugh Jackman as Tomas, a Spanish conquistador sent by Queen Isabel (Weisz) to locate the Tree of Life. It also casts the actor as Tommy Creo (the surname meaning “I create� in Latin and “I believe� in Spanish), a scientist working 24/7 to find a cure for his wife Izzy
the tight-knit ensemble to break out in each production. In 1996’s Waiting for Guffman, it was Guest himself who shined brightest, as the sweet-natured theatrical director Corky St. Clair. In 2000’s Best In Show, Fred Willard was a comic marvel as the lewd play-byplay announcer Buck Laughlin. And Eugene Levy’s work in 2003’s A Mighty Wind, as the

tour de force performance, channeling all the hopefulness, rage and despair that will doubtless strike a chord with aging, frequently unemployed and quickly forgotten thespians all across Los Angeles. Posey also benefits from landing one of her best screen roles to date, as the eccentric young actress whose defenses against future career disillusionment slide as she similarly gets caught up in the prospect of landing a coveted nomination.
TENACIOUS D IN THE PICK OF DESTINY ď‚śď‚ś
Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny gets off to a fast and furious start. We see the portly kid JB (Troy Gentile) enduring a verbal trashing from his uptight father (Meat Loaf) before receiving words of encouragement and advice from the Ronnie James Dio poster hanging on his bedroom door. Dio’s advice: Get thee to Hollywood. And so it’s off to La La Land, and by the time he arrives, JB is now a grown man played by Jack Black. He hooks up with a struggling musician called KG (Kyle Gass), and after a smidgen of soul-searching and a lot of bong hits, the two elect to become the band known as Tenacious D. And there we have the origin story of Tenacious D, already a cult band thanks to their music videos and brief TV series. The rest of the story concerns the duo’s efforts to obtain a magical guitar pick made from the tooth of Satan, but continuity isn’t this meandering movie’s strong suit. Maybe it’s my age, but I laughed harder when Cheech and Chong went this route with the cult hit Up In Smoke. The key difference is that a viewer could enjoy C&C’s film alone and without the aid of a joint.

"ARNARD 3TREET UNDER THE '!0 (Weisz again), who’s dying of a brain tumor; his only hope seems to be the recuperative powers found in a piece of tree in his possession. Finally, Jackman appears as a Tom of the future (Tom Tomorrow?), a bald, 26thcentury loner who travels in an orb through space with a tree that contains the spirit of his deceased beloved.
FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION ď‚śď‚śď‚ś
Christopher Guest’s so-called “mockumentaries� have been blessed with a generosity of spirit, a willingness on the part of their creator to allow a different member of
fragile folk singer Mitch, was so memorable that he deservedly earned the Best Supporting Actor award from the New York Film Critics Circle. In For Your Consideration, the spotlight belongs to Catherine O’Hara, though it must be noted that Parker Posey trails by only a couple of steps. The film is Guest and company’s swipe at all the hoopla surrounding Oscar season, with O’Hara, Posey, Harry Shearer and Christopher Moynihan cast as actors whose latest film, an indie project called Home For Purim, is being touted as a possible Academy Award nominee. As Marilyn Hack, the cast member deemed most likely to earn an Oscar nod, O’Hara delivers a
Whether or not one agrees with a character’s declaration that the royal family is comprised of “freeloading, emotionally retarded nutters,� it’s fascinating to watch these upper-crust Brits play out their own sordid soap opera in The Queen, a wicked -- and wickedly good -- show that takes a highly dubious premise and somehow turns it into one of the year’s best films. Director Stephen Frears, whose last picture, the shameless Mrs. Henderson Presents, is the sort of claptrap that he’s far too talented to be handling, and writer Peter Morgan, who co-scripted The Last King of Scotland, have performed cinematic alchemy with this sharp and swift yarn. Set mostly in the days following the death of Diana back in 1997, it focuses on the royal family’s reaction to the tragedy as well as the efforts of a newly elected prime minister to take control of the situation. The film begins with the landslide victory of Tony Blair (Michael Sheen) as the new prime minister and his initial meeting with Queen Elizabeth II (Helen Mirren), who clearly has little regard for this populist politician. It picks up again a few months later, when the residents of Buckingham Palace are awoken out of their royal slumber by the news that the former princess was killed in an automobile accident in Paris while fleeing from pesky paparazzi. Because Diana is no longer officially part of the royal family -- she and Prince Charles (Alex Jennings) had already divorced -- Elizabeth, the ogreish Prince Philip (James Cromwell) and

the clueless Queen Mother (Sylvia Sims) see no reason why they should get involved in the tragedy beyond grieving for the young woman in private. Blair figures that a public statement by the royal family (at least) and a public funeral (at most) would help the nation heal, but Elizabeth and her clan refuse, little aware that their decision will stir genuine contempt among the commoners on the streets.

An award winner at Cannes and an early favorite for Oscar enshrinement, Babel arrives courtesy of director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and writer Guillermo Arriaga, the same team that previously gave us 21 Grams and Amores Perros. Like their past efforts, Babel is a gloom-and-doom dissection of society, whipping between various characters and their interconnected storylines. Certainly, this is the duo’s most ambitious undertaking, yet for all its scattered strengths, it’s also the least satisfying, hampered by a structure that feels schematic rather than organic. Their main topic here is the lack of communication that exists between people. In one plot strand, a Moroccan goat herder (Mustapha Rachidi) buys a used rifle and gives it to his two sons with the order to shoot any jackals that threaten the herd. In a second storyline, an American couple (Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett) on vacation are plunged into a nightmare when the wife is accidentally shot by one of the aforementioned young boys, who was merely trying to gauge the distance a bullet can travel. In another, the American couple’s two children are hauled over the U.S.-Mexico border by their nanny (Adriana Barraza), whose decision to attend her son’s wedding looks ill-informed once she experiences difficulty crossing back to our side. And in the final story, a deaf teenage girl (Rinko Kikuchi) in Tokyo grows increasingly frustrated as she’s unable to find any male who’s willing to provide her with love and compassion.

Stanley Kowalski. Still, Carrey and Sandler both passed the test, and so does Ferrell. The actor’s obnoxious characters have always distracted us from the fact that he’s blessed with deep, soulful eyes, and this physical attribute here lends the proper degree of puppy dog demeanor to his role as Harold Crick, an IRS agent whose dull life is marked by rigid routine. The twist follows that Harold, in addition to living his own life, also inadvertently becomes the lead character in a book being written by reclusive author Kay Eiffel (Emma Thompson, doing distracted well), and soon Harold begins to hear Kay’s voice in his head as she uncannily narrates all the minute details of his life. For help, Harold turns to a literature professor (a very funny Dustin Hoffman) who might be able to help him track down the source of the voice and ascertain whether he’s trapped in a comedy, in which case a happy ending is just around the corner, or a tragedy, in which case death will come knocking.
BORAT
Originally conceived as a character on HBO’s Da Ali G Show, Borat Sagdiyev is a Kazakh journalist who comes to America to make a documentary. There’s your plot. Yet what makes Borat different is that creator-star Sacha Baron Cohen, who plays the insensitive and language-mangling journalist, never breaks character, interviewing scores of ordinary Americans who genuinely believe that they’re being questioned by a foreign reporter for a nonfiction piece that would presumably remain confined to the backwaters of a country on the other side of the globe. This naiveté and belief in anonymity allow the participants to open up more freely to Borat, often garnering controversial results. And therein lies the dilemma. If Borat is staged in any way, then it’s a hot-andcold “mockumentary” that pales next to the Christopher Guest titles (Best In Show, A Mighty Wind); despite many uproarious moments, it stretches its one-joke concept to the breaking point, and after about an hour, you’ll be satisfied. And indeed, there are a handful of sequences that feel staged: the Pamela Anderson interlude, for example, or a bit involving a flailing horse. Yet the filmmakers have loudly and repeatedly insisted that everything outside of Borat and his manager (played by Ken Davitian) is authentic in the picture. If that’s the case, then Borat is borderline genius, an inspired piece of guerrilla filmmaking that’s able to gauge the real pulse of America and unearth some unpleasant (if hardly surprising) truths.
A good year 1/2
Set (and shot) in the south of France, it’s unabashed erotica for wanna-be world travelers, offering one orgasmic vision after another of the provincial countryside and its attendant vineyards, chateaus and lusty locals. Based on Peter Mayle’s novel, A Good Year marks a reunion between the Gladiator team of director Ridley Scott and star Russell Crowe. Crowe plays Max Skinner, a ruthless London trader who lives only to make money -- lots of money. But when Max learns that his Uncle Henry (Albert Finney) has passed
away at his chateau in Provence, he’s forced to take a short leave of absence in order to handle the paperwork. Matters become even more complicated with the sudden presence of two women: a young American (Abbie Cornish) who might be Uncle Henry’s illegitimate daughter and thus entitled to the estate, and a local restaurant owner (Marion Cotillard) who catches Max’s eye.
flushed away 1/2
The story of a pet mouse who gets flushed down the toilet and ends up in an underground city populated by rats, frogs, slugs and other critters, the film exhibits the frenzied pace and overbearing characterizations that have become standard in U.S.-born-and-bred animated features. The voice casting (Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Ian McKellen, for starters) rests somewhere between Pixar inspiration and everybody else’s laziness, but the story is strictly perfunctory -- and further hampered by the sort of puerile gags that have come to define Yankee toon flicks (lots of blows to the crotch in this one).
The prestige 1/2
The Prestige, co-written and directed by the immensely talented Christopher Nolan (Batman Begins, Memento), is the third of this year’s releases centering around magicians (following Woody Allen’s Scoop and the Edward Norton sleeper hit The Illusionist), and it’s far and away the best. Set in turn-ofthe-century London, The Prestige casts Hugh Jackman as Robert Angier and Christian Bale as Alfred Borden, two aspiring magicians working under the tutelage of master showman Cutter (Michael Caine). The movie isn’t simplistic enough to pit a “good” magician (Angier) against an “evil” one (Borden); instead, it recognizes the duality of each man’s nature, a theme that eventually expands to a startling degree.
marie Antoinette 1/2
The fall season’s premiere love-it-or-leaveit title, Marie Antoinette was booed by French scribes at the Cannes Film Festival before being rescued by American critics, the slight majority of whom have graced it with positive reviews. Yet despite its divisive nature, I’ve managed to come down in the middle: The movie, writer-director Sofia Coppola’s first since her magnificent Lost In Translation, is better than I had expected but not as good as I had hoped.
The departed
At this point in his illustrious career, it’s hard to imagine Martin Scorsese accepting another filmmaker’s hand-me-downs. Yet in essence, that’s what’s taking place with The Departed, which isn’t an original screen story but rather a remake of a 2002 Hong Kong film titled Infernal Affairs. Working from a script by William Monahan, Scorsese has made a picture that’s more in line with such past mob morality tales as GoodFellas and Mean Streets than with his recent spate of ambitious (and Oscar-lunging) period epics like The Aviator and Gangs of New York. w

by Rob Brezsny
ARIES (March 21-April 19): I suspect you’ll be a genius of awkwardness in the coming week, Aries. What that means is that you’ll have a knack for doing the halfright thing at the half-right time-- and yet that’s exactly what’ll be necessary in order to bring about unexpected outcomes that are in everyone’s best interests. In the short run you may make a perfect mess, but I bet that will ultimately add more beauty and intrigue to the big picture. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Dear Grandma and Grandpa of the Taurus this horoscope has been prepared for: I’m hoping you will bring your helpful influence to bear on our little darling’s dilemma. I know that in your own past you once had to navigate your way through complications similar to those that Taurus is now facing. So even if you have died and are in spirit form, please bestow your advice and encouragement, whether that’s delivered by phone, via telepathy, in dreams, or in person. One more thing: Please don’t let your wise blessing get tainted by any lingering disapproval you might be harboring about the path our beloved Taurus has chosen. This is a time for your smart love, not your judgment. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the language of archetypal psychology, the term *hierosgamos* means “sacred marriage.” It may refer to a literal coming together of two people whose bond is a gift to God. Their love for each other serves as an inspiration to their community and galvanizes them both to express their wildest beauty. Because their union is dedicated to a higher cause beyond their personal happiness, they strive with ingenious devotion to transmute the dark, unripe aspects of their own nature. The term *hierosgamos* also has a bigger meaning, beyond the enlightened relationship of two intelligent people. It may refer to any merger of opposites that’s precipitated through divine grace and that unleashes surprising healing in all directions. In the coming weeks, Gemini, you are a prime candidate to experience at least a metaphorical version
Coastal Empire Polio Survivors Association
of *hierosgamos.* CANCER (June 21-July 22): “A quiet evening alone with friends can be an ecstatic experience for Cancerians,” say Gary Goldschneider and Joost Elffers in their book *The Secret Language of Birthdays.* “Yet many born under this sign have strange aspects to their personalities which must be periodically revealed in public.” I suspect this description will be particularly apt in the coming weeks. You may feel an irresistible urge to express your eccentricities to a bigger audience. My advice is to make definite plans to unveil the most interesting versions of your oddness at times and places of your choosing. That way it won’t unexpectedly pop out half-cocked when it might cause embarrassment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “The lover knows much more about absolute good and universal beauty than any logician or theologian,” wrote philosopher George Santayana. I agree with him. That’s why, as I analyze the astrological omens, I can confidently predict that you will have the right to claim all of the following titles in the coming weeks: the Beguiler with the Most Enticing Ideals, the Moral Authority with the Most Trustworthy Allure, and the Charmer with the Most Ethical Temptations. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the fairy tale “Hansel and Gretel,” a wicked stepmother convinces her husband that the only way the two of them will survive poverty and starvation is to take his children deep into the woods and abandon them. That way there’ll be two fewer mouths to feed. The kids overhear the plan, and as the adults lead them into the middle of nowhere, Hansel, the son, surreptitiously leaves a trail of white stones. This allows him and his sister Gretel to find their way back home later. The stepmom is chagrined. A few weeks thereafter, she once again convinces her spouse to leave the children in the wastes. This time Hansel drops breadcrumbs to mark the path, but they’re eaten by birds and the kids have no way to get back. Moral of
the story: When you get sucked away from your source, leave clues that are more like stones, not crumbs. Alternative moral of the story: Don’t return to a source that doesn’t want you there. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “The ancient Greeks knew that learning comes from playing,” writes Roger von Oech in his book *A Whack on the Side of the Head: How You Can Be More Creative.* Their word for education, *paideia,* he says, was close to their word for play, *paidia.* Your next assignment, Libra, is right in line with this theme. First, identify the teachings that will be most important for you to master in 2007. Second, figure out how to include play as a major component of your learning process. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You know those fuel-delivery planes capable of pumping gas into a larger plane that’s already aloft? I think you’d benefit from enlisting the services of their metaphorical equivalent in the coming week. Given how high and fast you’re soaring, it would be a shame for you to have to come all the way down to earth to fill up your tank. And yet it’s clear to me that one way or another, you’re going to have to replenish your supply of propellant. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Whether we are on the threshold of a Golden Age or on the brink of a global cataclysm that will extinguish our civilization is not only unknowable, but undecided,” said Edward Cornish, President of the World Future Society. I bet that in the past year you’ve had comparable fantasies about the fate of your own personal destiny, Sagittarius. At times, it must have seemed as if you were teetering on the brink of a sulfurous abyss that was within shouting distance of the yellow brick road to paradise. Talk about conflicting emotions! But now that crazy-making chapter of your life story is coming to an end. No more teetering for you. No more inhaling noxious fumes from the infernal regions. I believe you have already been offered or will soon be offered an escort to the beginning of the yel-
low brick road. Let’s hope you’re not so addicted to the fascinating glamour of your pain that you turn down the escort. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “The problem, if you love it,” said Jiddu Krishnamurti, “is as beautiful as the sunset.” He did not mean this ironically, nor was he indulging in sentimental wish- fulfillment. He was one of the toughest-minded spiritual teachers ever born. As you slip into a phase when your problems are especially gorgeous and entertaining, Capricorn, I urge you to remind yourself of his wise thought at least five times a day. Here’s a second nugget for you to chew on often. It’s a lyrical, hard-assed Zen proverb: “The obstacle *is* the path.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your assignment in the coming weeks, Aquarius, is to become a coordinator of synchronicity and director of synergy in all the environments where you hang out. To begin, remind yourself of what those terms mean. Synchronicity is the wonderfully spooky feeling that comes when two or more events occur in a way that might superficially seem to be mere coincidence, but that is actually a sign of a deeper underlying pattern that transcends rational understanding. Synergy is when two power sources collaborate on a surprisingly energetic creation in which the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. (For more ideas on synchronicity and synergy, go to http://tinyurl.com/ d2jqb and http://tinyurl.com/mows3.) PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you want to be in perfect alignment with the astrological omens, you will live your life in the coming weeks with a restless confidence that bigger is better. You’ll risk going over the top, digging too deep, and stretching your limits beyond the comfort level. I suspect you’ll even begin to resonate with the description once applied to Hong Kong by its last governor: “sparkling, noisy, argumentative, handsome, cluttered, exotic, international--all the things a great city should be.” w

“Keep Your Good Credit” You might assume that the fewer credit cards you have, the higher your credit score could be. Because of that assumption, some buyers preparing to apply for a home loan mistakenly cancel one or more credit cards. Why would this be a bad idea? It has to do with the ratio of your debt to your available credit. Here’s a simple example: Let’s say that you have four credit cards, each with a $10,000 limit, giving you $40,000 available credit. If you have a total of $20,000 charged to those accounts, you are using 50% of your limit. By canceling one of those cards, you now have $30,000 available credit. That $20,000 in charges now equates to over 66% of your total credit, which represents an adverse effect on the debt-to-credit ratio. You have essentially reduced your credit without reducing your debt, possibly raising a red flag on your mortgage application. By canceling the credit account, you reduce your “wiggle room” and cut your credit score, which could result in the lender demanding a higher interest percentage or offering a smaller loan amount. Real estate agents are not all necessarily loan specialists, but most do work very closely with such individuals. Ask the agent you work with for a recommendation, and get in touch with a lender well in advance of your first showing.
