Savannah Metro Police have apprehended one suspect in the double shooting of Jason Statts and Dave Williams on June 28 in Ardsley Park, with a second suspect having turned himself into custody as we go to press. With the usual disclaimer that the alleged perpetrators are innocent until proven guilty, it’s important not to let the impressive speed of the police work on this case upstage the barbarity of the crime.
The single bullet, aimed point-blank at the base of Statts’s neck, also went on to badly damage Williams’s throat. Statts has almost no mobility beneath the waist and has been moved to a rehab facility in Atlanta. Williams is recovering slowly and painfully at Memorial Health. You’ll notice I’ve not referred to this as an attempted robbery or “aggravated assault.” This was an attempted execution with no goal other than death. It was quite simply an act of pure evil. The shooter did not do it because he is underprivileged. He did not do it because of prejudice, past or present. He did not do it because he had bad parents, or poor parents, or no parents. There are no excuses and no rationale for this kind of violence. Sometimes and for some things, evil really is the only explanation.
Mostly because of President Bush’s childish elocutions on the subject, it’s become trendy to laugh at anyone who mentions the existence of evil. But even a stopped clock is right twice a day. If you don’t think real evil exists in this world, you haven’t been paying attention. It’s also become trendy to say that voting doesn’t matter, because “they’re all the same.” But the election this Tuesday, July 15, gives the lie to that canard, and it has everything to do with the heinous crime at 48th and Paulsen. After nearly 30 years in office, a District Attorney not widely regarded as being particularly effective — a good bit of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is devoted to Spencer Lawton’s shortcomings as a prosecutor — is retiring from office. You now have a golden chance to help pick our next DA.
hear and now by robin wright gunn rgunnsav@bellsouth.net
Facebook friends “I love my computer because my friends live in it.” So says the e-bumper sticker electronically affixed to a friend’s profile on Facebook. If the house was on fire, I’d rescue two overflowing Rolodex files filled with data on scattered cousins and former colleagues. But it’s through Facebook that I’ve caught up on what Caity Cogdell has been up to since graduating from University of Georgia earlier this year. The Savannah Arts Academy alumna is halfway through a nine week stay in French Guiana, teaching children, participating in an African drumming group, and reading Jane Austen’s Emma while battling mosquitoes. Former Savannah Morning News writer Hermione Malone left town
for Cleveland in 2003, but thanks to Facebook we stay in better contact now than we did during the first three or so years she was gone. Closer to home, Brynn Grant of The Creative Coast Alliance notes on her profile that she’s nearly finished with a time consuming home improvement project. Paul Nurnberg, commercial photographer, turns out to be an avid reader whose top rated books range from bestselling fiction (The Lovely Bones) to the genre-bending Einstein’s Dreams. Nurnberg uses Facebook’s Visual Bookshelf to share his reading preferences. So far I prefer Good Reads, which uses a friends-invitation system similar to Facebook’s to allow bibliophiles a vehicle for linking up and comparing notes. Through Good Reads I’m up to date on former Savannah photographer Ben Beasley, who moved to Decatur last fall, on a summer
In terms of immediate impact on your life and your community, the DA is the single most important position we have, bar none. A police chief can only catch criminals — not try them and put them behind bars. Our mayor’s power is limited to one vote out of nine on city council. A congressperson has little real power until they’ve gained 20 or 30 years of seniority. And unless you’re in the armed forces, a president’s decisions usually affect you and your family only tangentially. Because the DA is such a key official, this week we take the unusual step of interviewing all four Democratic candidates for DA. (Republican David Lock is unopposed in his primary, and we’ll interview him when the November election gets closer.) Also this week we cover the two other most interesting stories of this primary season. My interview with Regina Thomas, who’s challenging incumbent Savannah Congressman John Barrow, is on page 8. Our newest intern, SCAD’s Tandy Versyp, gives us his interview on page 9 with the openly gay Kevin Clark, who’s waging an insurgent campaign to claim the State Senate seat Thomas is leaving behind. As for Statts and Williams, a fund has been started to help pay for their medical expenses. Find it at www.stattswilliams.com.
reading binge of Erskine Caldwell novels that’s tempered with the latest David Sedaris collection. Is it necessary or appropriate for a Baby Boomer to network using a medium favored by teenagers? Once in a while I run across a profile with a familiar last name, only to realize that the poster with 437 Facebook Friends is the offspring of a high school classmate. Yet it turns out that many of my favorite Baby Boomers, or older, have found their way to Facebook. My favorite profile photo is one of a white-haired writer/retired English professor I know, up to her chin in her bubble bath and sporting a yellow flower in her hair. Then there is the double-edged sword of the internet —does the computer bring us closer together or does it further isolate us? In the last three months, through a long-forgotten profile posted years ago on LinkedIn, I’ve reconnected with two former employees. Former Hannah Banana Books staffer Kate Conroy is a mover and shaker with a New Jersey Chamber of Commerce, and former city planner Bill Compton now holds a similar planning post in the Florida panhandle.
Yet during the same weeks I was corresponding with Kate and Bill, I exchanged reading suggestions via Good Reads with Clare Ellis, a teacher at Country Day. It appears that Clare and I have similar reading tastes, but perhaps it wasn’t necessary to find this out online, since Clare and her husband live across the street from me. Why did we need the internet to explore a conversation in books? Instead of pondering that too long, I’ll hit the web one more time. Thanks to oldfriends.co.nz, I reconnected with a schoolmate from Blenheim, New Zealand. In a few mouse clicks, I was corresponding with Andrew Munro, formerly of the senior class of 1979 at Marlborough Boys College, now a physician (and a grandfather) in Australia. His note was filled with information about our little posse, lost friends fondly remembered from my senior year abroad in the once-tiny New Zealand town. It’s been six months, so a note to Andrew is long overdue. Then maybe I’ll check Clare’s profile and find out what she’s reading. Or, if the power goes out, perhaps I’ll walk across the street and see for myself.

‘I have always looked out for everybody’ An interview with Regina Thomas, candidate for U.S. Congress Regina Thomas has served citizens of Chatham County for the last 12 years, first in the Georgia House of Representatives and then in the state Senate. Known for her trademark assortment of impressively bright hats, she’s also known as an effective legislator who mixes idealism with a practical ability to get deals done. Now she’s going after a higher seat, one already occupied by a fellow Democrat: Congressman John Barrow of the 12th Congressional District. Well-funded and battle-tested, Barrow would seem invincible. But the combination of his conservative voting record and the heavily African American nature of his district means Thomas has better than a fighting chance against him this Tuesday. The party’s presidential nominee, Barack Obama, recently made news by openly entering the primary on Barrow’s side — a move which shocked some observers, not only because Obama is African American, as is Thomas, but because Obama’s rhetoric seems so at odds with Barrow’s record. We spoke with Thomas about her campaign, her vision for the future, Barrow, and Obama. When she answered her cellphone she was just finishing up asking someone to vote for her. Were you campaigning just now? Regina Thomas: You know what? I don’t ever stop campaigning. I don’t care where I am. I brought my grandson to the eye doctor, and I’m campaigning in the eye doctor’s office! Why in the world did you decide to take on John Barrow? Regina Thomas: Several things. First, it didn’t matter who was in the seat, this is the year that I set aside to run. Fate would have it that John’s record is horrible. His representation is lacking and he hasn’t been accessible to the district, I don’t know what he’s doing, where he’s going, or who he’s talking with, but it’s certainly not with the people, and he’s certainly not coming back with information and letting us know what’s going on in Washington. He has done a couple of conference calls that I’ve been involved in, but it was only to defend these bad votes that he’s been making. After I got into it, I started receiving all these phone calls, people saying, “Thank you for running, he’s horrible, he’s this, he’s that.” Prior to that, I was so busy doing
what I was doing in Atlanta, and then I went to research his record and I said, “My goodness, this really is the right time.” Were you surprised when Barack Obama jumped into this thing on Barrow’s side? Regina Thomas: Absolutely not! In politics it’s quid pro quo. You scratch my back, I scratch yours. And that’s exactly what it is. So what’s the quid pro quo here? Regina Thomas: Barrow is a superdelegate. Obama and Hillary both were going after superdelegate votes. As you recall Barrow didn’t give Obama his support until after Obama won the primary here in Georgia. I tell you what, he showed a lot of backbone when he did that! When Barrow gave Obama his superdelegate vote then he was like, OK, I’m going to need you to endorse me. But if you listen to Obama’s ad on the radio, he doesn’t know Barrow’s voting record. He’s saying that he stands up against lobbyists and Bush and the Republicans. But he hasn’t! Obama’s people dropped the ball. They did not do their homework to let Obama know what was going on. I just hope Obama doesn’t get any repercussions from this in November, when he clearly has supported someone who says he is such a staunch Democrat but who’s really a Blue Dog Democrat. People are asking me, “Oh, Obama is endorsing Barrow, what does that do for your campaign?” Well, it boosted my campaign. My campaign skyrocketed the day that ad came out! So it hasn’t done anything to hurt me, but it could very well hurt Obama, because if Obama is willing to say whatever he needs to say to get whatever he needs to get, that may not go over well with a lot of voters. How will you be different from John Barrow once in office? Regina Thomas: First of all, I promise accessibility. I promise accountability. And I promise dependability. I will be a resource person when I go to Washington, because I have been a resource person while serving in Atlanta. There are several issues that I need to address immediately. First is the outsourcing of American jobs. When you don’t have people employed, then you don’t
have people paying into the Social Security system, as well as paying income taxes. In addition I’m going to address No Child Left Behind. That’s an unfunded mandate that has been a miserable failure, and the federal government, Bush, and the bureaucracy do not want to admit it. Instead they want to exempt ten states from the unfunded mandate, and I don’t know what that’s going to do to the other states who aren’t exempt. There’s nothing wrong with raising the bar, but when you raise the bar without putting the necessary tools and resources there, then you’re going to get failure. What about privacy issues such as the wiretapping bill, which Barrow fully supports and Obama seems to be moving towards approving? Regina Thomas: Well, John Barrow’s basically a Republican. But I don’t know what’s wrong with Obama. Why in the world would you give immunity to anyone who illegally wiretaps American citizens and then give them carte blanche to do that, then using terrorism as the excuse? I would go back and try and repeal some provisions of that bill, because that’s a direct conflict to the Fourth Amendment right to privacy. John has tried to defend that, saying that it doesn’t give them the right to wiretap American citizens, but it is a direct violation. Who else would be able to get immunity for doing something illegal like that? Is it just the telecom money talking? Regina Thomas: I tell you what, they have given the Democrats that supported that bill big money, and Barrow has received $13,500 from telecom companies. So you tell me what that is. That’s pandering to lobbyists and big corporations at the expense of American citizens. Where do you stand on Iraq? Regina Thomas: I want our troops to come home immediately. As you know, Barrow has voted against every bill that had a benchmark in it. They continued to give money to the contractors and the subcontractors. We have gone in there and torn up those people’s country, and now we’re providing health care, education, housing, jobs — all this for them while the American people are suffering. How can you say you’ll take care of Americans when you’re giving everything away to people in other countries? Congress is so busy cozying up to Republicans and giving them exactly what they want, and then to give
Bush an additional $162 billion to continue to occupy Iraq? While here we have people who don’t have health care, people who are homeless and hungry? With gas at $4 a gallon, Republicans are back to saying what they’ve said for the last 25 years: Let’s drill in Alaska. Will that really solve our problems? Regina Thomas: It will not. Even if it would solve a few problems, it will be 15 or 20 years down the pike before we see anything good come out of that. All that’s going to do is set Bush and Cheney and their friends up to make more money, because the government is going to give them money to do the drilling. They’re going to have their contractors and their subcontractors, and the prices at the pump are going to still be as high as they are now. It’s smoke and mirrors. So what do we do about gas prices? Regina Thomas: The oil cartel, which includes Bush and Cheney, they see gas prices are going up and it’s going to be a recession, so we better have some reserves and all they’re doing is banking up on the money. Look at the oil company CEOs making millions and millions of dollars just in bonuses alone. Does that tell you that there’s a problem? The only problem is gouging us poor people. The poor are getting poorer. The middle class, they’re even dissipating. Who’s going to be left standing? Look at NAFTA and CAFTA. Have you ever heard of any such ludicrous thing as, “OK, you can sell anything you want in my country and you don’t have to pay any taxes, but I need to come to your country too.” “Well, you’re going to have to pay taxes.” “OK, that’s fair.” We need to undo NAFTA and CAFTA. We need reciprocity. OK, thanks for talking to us. You better go back to campaigning. Regina Thomas: And you know what? I’m going to win. I’m winning this thing. People know what I’m about, they know what I’ve stood for for the past 12 years, and I have not changed from who I am. And I have always looked out for everybody — not just the little guys and the middle class guys, I’ve even looked out for industry. But industry’s going to have to look out for us, too. Everybody can bite the bullet. If we need to bite the bullet, they need to bite the bullet.
Kevin Clark’s run for Ga. Senate
“On a scale from one to ten, just how gay are you?” “I’m off the scale,” laughs Kevin Clark. “I’m an 11, 12, or 13 on a scale of gayness.” His laugh is a low and confident laugh with passion, direction, and determination—a politician’s laugh. Clark is currently running for Georgia State Senate District 2, the seat Regina Thomas gave up to run against John Barrow for Congress. Clark sits at a small patio table on the back porch of his inn on 38th and Barnard. “Under the Rainbow is the name of our inn. It’s done in the true spirit of the rainbow. Each guest room is a different color of the rainbow. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet,” he says. Clark’s angular features soften when he watches his Maltese-mix, Beau, attempt to jump into his lap. But when he is talking politics, his eyes come alive and his cigarette is put out. One of the issues high on Clark’s list is health care. “Poor people, middle class people, even small business owners like myself are not getting our basic human right to medical care, to life,” he says. “We have created this system where only those with means are provided with adequate services down the line. We have a right to a government that is proactive, managed well, that truly serves the real needs of all of us. And we’re not getting that.” Clark removes his glasses, placing them gently but purposefully on the iron table. “This latest general assembly was a colossal failure. The two chief things that the last general assembly provided were tax breaks for the insurance industry, and they passed a law making it legal to carry a firearm—loaded—into restaurants that serve alcohol. That’s what they did for us,” he says. “We do not have a responsible, proactive government. We have the opposite. We have a broken dysfunctional government. So I am rising to the occasion, putting myself on the line to run this race,” Clark continues. “I pride myself on my good ol’ fashion Missouri-born common sense. I’m like Harry Truman in a lot of ways.” When Clark moved to Savannah in 1995, he immediately got involved in local politics. He was the first openly
gay vice chairman of the local Democratic Party. Currently the senior board member of Gerogia Equality, Clark has also served four years as a co-chair of the First City Network and one year on the mayor’s Crime Task Force. “Task Force members studied the crime problems intensely, drew up recommendations, and sent them to the mayor and the council. Dan Flynn, the former chief, would have nothing to do with it,” he says. “So we applied political pressure and community pressure to force him out and recruited a police chief that would be receptive to these common sense recommendations. It is done. It is being done. We were reactivated earlier this spring by Police Chief Berkow to reevaluate these recommendations, and given time, we will reform the department. We will see a reduction in crime.” Clark believes that the issues of crime and poverty are intertwined with education issues. “I strongly advocate for not allowing students to drop out at age 16. I believe we should make every student graduate. Also, No Child Left Behind is a failure. It needs to be scrapped. Get rid of this emphasis on testing and return ultimate power to the teachers.” Clark is also an avid environmentalist. “I was green before it was cool to be green. Between six and seven-thirty every morning, I pick up every morsel of trash in a nine-block radius of my house. I’ve done it since ’99 at this inn. When I am elected State Senator, I am going to continue my litter cleanup. I hope that will elevate my platform.” A way to help the environment and reduce demand for gas in Georgia would be Clark’s idea for a statewide mass transit system. “There’s a reason why people don’t use Chatham Area Transit. I envision a transit system like the cable car system in San Francisco,” he says. “Under the pavement on many of the streets, there is track there. It’s just a matter of making it a priority, finding the money, and making a wise investment in this transit system that would be popular with tourists and locals.” The coming election excites Clark. “I’m an underdog in this race, and I love it. Everything I’ve ever done in my life, I’ve worn the underdog uniform. It fuels me. I enjoy a challenge, and this is my ultimate life challenge so far.”
‘Experience matters’
DA candidate Larry Chisolm
Larry Chisolm spent 19 years as an Assistant District Attorney under current DA Spencer Lawton before leaving first for private practice, and then for his current position as counsel for Savannah State University. The Savannah native is a Duke University graduate. What prompted you to seek a return to the DA’s office after your time at Savannah State? Larry Chisolm: Several things. When I came here I had to undergo what’s called Six Sigma training, an efficiency and customer service training program that’s sort of similar to Total Quality Management. I had to be certified in Six Sigma, which gave me an opportunity to take a second look at the DA’s office from the standpoint of efficiency and customer service. Secondly, I’ve always been interested in helping to try to find solutions to some of our crime issues here. I think that violent crime is an extreme problem here, even though we’re doing better in terms of the rates of violent crime. I still think it’s a big problem, particularly in certain communities and as it pertains to chilling our tourist industry. I think we do have somewhat of a national reputation for having violence and crime issues in our tourist areas. I really want to be involved in bringing various elements and groups in the community together like we did back in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, when we had an extreme problem. The DA’s position is a tremendous platform to try to bring those people together and provide input in making those changes. Has the very slow pace of the current DA’s office been overstated, or has that also been your experience? Larry Chisolm: That’s been my experience. I think the DA’s office shares a percentage of responsibility there, but I think it’s a systemwide problem, only because of the large volume of cases that we have going through the system down at the courthouse. I think what would be helpful is if the DA’s office could do a better job of screening up front, and trying to force cases to disposition earlier on. To me it’s a clear situation of watching the warrants and measuring the speed with which the warrants are getting through the office and looking for the bottlenecks. And when there are bottlenecks,
bringing resources to bear on the areas where the bottlenecks exist as opposed to watching employees struggle. I think the slowness comes in the cases where the defendants are not in jail, because those cases don’t get as high a priority. I think the DA’s office does need to move those cases along faster and to screen them more appropriately and not to be as zealous in terms of holding on to a case just because it’s been bound over from Recorders Court or because the police say so. An opponent wants to start a separate office to handle misdemeanors. What’s your take on that? Larry Chisolm: We’re moving almost 7,000 cases. When I look at the DA’s budget only about $600,000 or less is devoted to the state court function and the misdemeanor function. That means we’re doing it pretty efficiently in terms of the cost. In order to go to a Solicitor General’s office you’re talking about a whole new level of bureaucracy with the salaries and costs associated with that. The Juvenile Court, the Recorders Court, and the Magistrates Court are the primary ports of entry into the criminal justice system. So if we want to look to find solutions to stop crime from developing and moving into the adult felony system, then we need to direct resources to those ports of entry. If the DA abrogates his authority over the misdemeanor function, then he doesn’t have the opportunity to put structures or programs in place on the misdemeanor level. Another candidate wonders how you can beat Republican David Lock in the fall if you always worked under Lock. Larry Chisolm: I don’t see the relationship between having worked for David Lock and whether or not you can beat him based on whether you worked for him. The critical issue in the case of myself and Jerry (Rothschild) is we didn’t have management authority in the DA’s office. So any of the policies put into place in the time we worked there, those aren’t our policies. Those are Spencer’s and David’s. Experience matters when you’re talking about putting someone at the head of the DA’s office. You have 35 to 36 lawyers in the office who need to respect the person who’s in leadership there, and that person needs to have something to offer to those people.

‘If it works, we should do it’ DA candidate Will Claiborne
Will Claiborne is a family law litigator in Savannah, mostly handling divorce, child custody, and adoption cases. Before entering private practice, the University of Georgia graduate worked in the offices of U.S. Senator Zell Miller and former Lieutenant Governor Pierre Howard. As a relative outsider to the prosecutorial world, how would you change the way the DA’s office is run? Will Claiborne: I may have been practicing law for a shorter period, but I’m the only candidate who’s worked for both the state and the federal government. I know how government works. Some believe the DA is sort of the case trier-in-chief, that if the case lands on the front page of the Savannah Morning News, the DA tries that case. But it’s not unusual in a county our size for the DA to end being the person who manages the office, and who has to run it effectively. It ends up being detrimental if the DA tries to jump in and try all these cases. A lot of your ideas come from your background in family law. Will Claiborne: Well, take for example the way we treat domestic violence cases in Chatham County. If a perpetrator gets arrested for beating his wife, he’ll be charged with simple battery, a misdemeanor. He bonds out less than 24 hours later, and he’ll have an appearance in Recorders Court 2-3 weeks later, then it goes to state court. The next step is for the DA’s to office to write up an accusation of charges. It’s about, oh, a 15 minute job to copy and paste in the name of the perpetrator, the victim, the date, and the location. It takes our DA’s office a year and a half. It’s a ridiculous delay. With a crime like family violence it’s a completely inexcusable delay. Those cases hurt the most, because the woman ends up taking the man back. She’ll forgive him and drop the charges, especially if a year and a half goes by and she sees nothing happen. You have an interesting proposal to create a new office. Will Claiborne: Chatham County is the largest county in the state that does not have a Solicitor General. That’s an official who prosecutes misdemeanors only. Right now our DA’s office pros-
ecutes every crime. We have six people who work to prosecute misdemeanors. They move 7000 cases a year. That comes down to about five cases a day per lawyer. There are simply not enough resources dedicated to this problem. Children who grow up in homes with domestic violence, the boys are more likely to become criminals. I mean the stats are off the chart. And the girls are likely to get in abusive relationships when they get older. Both are more liable to end up on drugs and have problems in school. I would also institute a pretrial intervention program. Here’s what we do now: a 17-year-old kid breaks in three different vehicles. That’s three counts of entering an auto, a felony. The kid has no record, it’s his first felony. What we do now is have him plead guilty under the first offender statute to one count, and he gets two or three years probated, and we dismiss other two charges. Here’s the problem: that kid’s immediately out on probation. We want him to be productive: Go back to school, get secure employment, join the armed services. But by pleading guilty, while on probation he’s ineligible to do those things. We’ve put stumbling blocks in the way of him doing what we want him to do. We also have limited options against him because we dismissed two charges. I’m saying we should hold all three charges over his head. Give him the same 2 or 3 years probation, with conditions. That way we’re giving him the same punishment without putting stumbling blocks in front of him and without limiting our options. What is your style of leadership? Will Claiborne: My personality is one of working with people collaboratively. We don’t need a DA worried about turf wars and who gets credit. I’m not going to go in there with a big ego and a conviction that I have every answer to every question that’s every been thought of. That’s not what works. What works when we have these big interdisciplinary problems is coordinating with other people to make sure our oars are in the water and moving in the same direction. It’s not a partisan thing. There’s no Republican or Democratic way to prosecute crime. My general philosophy is if it works, we should do it.
‘I’m here to solve problems’ DA candidate Zena McClain
Zena McClain is in private practice in Savannah, mainly concentrating on criminal law, employment law and civil litigation. The Washington, D.C., native is a graduate of Howard University. How do your ideas for the DA’s office differ from your opponents? Zena McClain: I’m much more for broad fundamental changes. Look at the criminal justice system as a whole in Georgia. After expanding the prison system to the fifth largest in the country, we’ve increased incarceration rates to over 60,000 inmates, with some of the toughest criminal laws in nation. We’re increasing the number on probation and spending more money to house offenders. It’s time to take a new direction. We have to adopt a new concept and begin a totally different conversation about how we deal with crime in this county. That’s what’s been absent from that office. We’ve had three successive reigns, with each District Attorney holding office for three decades or longer. Each has been absent from the table for discussion, absent from the community, and absent from our concerns. Citizens deserve a DA who is willing to commit to them and their peace of mind. One who’s unbiased and efficient. Also they deserve an office not known for indicting a ham sandwich. That’s where I differ from the two gentlemen with prior prosecutorial experience. They have been a product of that policy. What exactly do you mean by ‘indicting a ham sandwich?’ Zena McClain: They’ll indict anything they get. It’s a rubber stamp for anything the police department sends their way. That’s not what a prosecutor is supposed to do. They must zealously represent the first client, the victim. At the same time the DA must insure they seek out the truth in all cases. That means protecting the innocent. I’m running because the citizens deserve a DA who will balance the scales of justice with fairness. How does that criticism square with the common complaint that the DA’s office has been far too slow to prosecute criminals? Zena McClain: That’s what I mean. They sit on cases because they haven’t
developed good cases. They don’t have the evidence necessary to build a sound case to guarantee a conviction. I’m talking about developing good investigative procedures so that when we take a case to trial we’re not just taking any case to court. It’s a waste of taxpayers money. I have felony cases reaching back almost four years, that haven’t been indicted. They sit on cases because they are weak cases. No one wants crime in their community. But being smart on crime means we must recognize that prosecution must not strictly be reactionary to crime. The DA’s office must explore crime prevention initiatives. I will advocate for better rehabilitation programs. I’ll work hard to expand the Savannah Impact program, which counsels and prepares prior offenders for reentering society. That helps with the revolving door issue. I will create a community advisory board of individuals selected from every neighborhood association, neighborhood leaders. These will be people at the grassroots level trying to make the community safe. I went to one community center, and they were talking about how they had their air conditioning unit stolen twice. Those individuals have a right to know what is happening to the individual we’re prosecuting who stole those AC systems. They deserve input on what they’d like to see happen. Often when people steal they have drug issues. They’re not violent, they need to go and get drug treatment. Perhaps they can work off their community service at that same community center, so that they’ll know what they did and have a sense of what harm they caused. A lot of your ideas sound like something we’re more likely to hear from a mayoral candidate or county commission candidate. Zena McClain: But that’s exactly what a DA does: they make the community safe, whether it’s prosecuting, or advocating for better laws. A DA is supposed to lead those discussions, that’s what we pay them for. I’m here to solve problems. My practice reflects that. I didn’t enter law to make a bunch of money. I decided to go and solve problems. That’s why I decided to run in this race.
If a Picture is Worth a Thousand Words...
‘I’ve been on the front lines’
11
DA candidate Jerry Rothschild
Jerry Rothschild has been an Assistant District Attorney in Chatham County for the past 11 years, and is currently a special prosecutor with the Counter Narcotics Team. The Columbus, Ga., native is a University of Georgia graduate and avid rugby player. If elected as DA, what changes would you bring to the office you currently work in? Jerry Rothschild: We would work far more closely from day one with police and victims. I want the best people we’ve got trying the most serious cases. In particular I’d like to create a Serious Violent Felony team, which I think a lot of candidates are talking about in this race, but I think I’m the only one in the moral and experience position to do something about it. We’d take our six most-seasoned attorneys — and that doesn’t necessarily mean the most years on the job, it has to do with a certain passion about crime prosecution — and that would be your team. And rather than wed them, as we do now, to just two lawyers per judge with a case being randomly assigned, the best folks we have will be trying the most serious cases. From gunshot to conviction it will be one lawyer’s case. Certainly those people wouldn’t only be handling homicides. That horrible shooting we had on 48th Street the other night, where it appears one person could be paralyzed, any serious violent felony, that would be what they’re doing. The criticisms of the current DA’s office are paradoxical. On one hand people say they’re too zealous to prosecute — Jerry Rothschild: And on the other hand you hear that we don’t do enough, that we don’t prosecute hard enough. It’s a classic example of how you can’t please everybody and you ought not to try. You have to just do the best you can do. A lot of the complaints about social justice, for example, are not unreasonable, but a lot of what I’m hearing from other candidates just doesn’t have that much to do with being the DA. I’m committed to fairness, but when Mr. Claiborne says he’s going to create this whole government bureaucracy called a Solicitor General’s office — which many counties have, ours doesn’t — not only is it a bad idea, he can’t! It takes a legislative action from Atlanta and locally a lot of money.
And I don’t know if we need a citizen review board telling us who to prosecute. A lot of the job of what the DA has to do is make hard, unpopular decisions. It’s just part of the job. If people are unhappy and don’t think you’ve been just over your four years, the remedy is to fire you by voting you out. As far as the racial angle, I’m pleased to see crime victims and surviving family members of homicide victims come out of the woodwork and find me during this campaign and come to the debates and things — and they’re almost all black. Almost every murder case I’ve had, save two, the victim has been a black man under 35. I don’t discount anything anyone says in particular about juvenile crime, and trying to divert a lot of young people that are getting in trouble, many of whom are African American. I think that’s my second overarching concern in the office, is more attention to juvenile court and to juvenile prosecution. I agree we need to come to the table with the schools and the churches. That’s another big prong of my campaign. What about the criticism that you’re the wrong person to replace Spencer Lawton because you’ve worked in his office? Jerry Rothschild: That’s an easy one. Because whatever you think of the management of the office — and I do think Mr. Lawton has done a lot of good things — I haven’t been managing it and neither have any of the other people in the Democratic primary. I’ve been prosecuting criminals. I’ve been on the front lines in a trial slot for years, working with the police, cultivating those relationships, and doing good work for victims. And that’s what you want in a DA — somebody that fights crime and who understands how it’s done. Over the years, because I’ve earned good respect of the police doing good jobs on homicides, the homicide detectives for years called me directly, and the other assistant DAs they trust. Based on my record I’m happy with the work I’ve done for victims and for the community. So I don’t think working in the office is a liability — in fact, it’s unthinkable that you could run and expect to be the District Attorney with no experience.

Blotter All cases from recent Savannah/Chatham Police Dept. incident reports
The Great Waffle Caper
Six people were charged July 3 for an armed robbery at a Gateway Boulevard Waffle House.
According to the victims, two suspects entered the restaurant on June 23, armed with semi-automatic handguns, and ordered them to open the safe. One of the victims was secured with a black zip-tie, while the other employee opened the register for the suspects, who fled the scene in a red van. Police learned that another employee allegedly set up the robbery. Police followed up on information from the community about the get-away van. Joseph Louis Thomas and Nicole Wagner were arrested July 2 in Effingham County on unrelated firearms charges. Officers contacted Metro when information came to light about the robbery from the suspects. Both were charged with Party to the
Crime of Armed Robbery. Police have determined that one of the firearms found in the car was one that was used in the robbery. Three others also were arrested and charged. Jennifer Marie Wellong and Alexander Wayne Dean were charged with Party to the Crime of Armed Robbery, and James Lee Lewis was charged with Armed Robbery. Dustin Keith Broughton, who also was charged with Armed Robbery, was still being sought. • A convicted felon who brandished two firearms was arrested July 2. Gerrod Chanc Black, 30, was arrested just after 8:30 p.m. after pointing the firearms at a 13-year-old girl. Black and another man, Kentorio Ward, were arguing in a car in the 600 block of West 42nd Street. Ward asked Black to leave, but Black returned with two firearms and began beating on the door. The 13-year-old girl approached Black, who pointed the guns at her. She fled and police were called. When police arrived, Black was arrested and charged with Aggravated Assault and Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. Black was on active felony probation at the time of his arrest.
• Police were called to Christ Church at 18 Abercorn St. because a man had locked himself in a restroom and was refusing to come out. An officer spoke with the property manager, who said the suspect had been in the restroom for 30 minutes. He said the man had refused several requests to leave the premises. Two officers went to the door and announced themselves. The suspect responded, “I’m takin’ a s--t. I’m constipated. There’s s--t on the floor. You can see for yourself.” The officers told the property manager to unlock the door. When they went in the restroom, there was fecal matter on the floor. The suspect told them he had been bathing in the restroom. The property manager said the suspect was not supposed to be on the premises because an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting was being held in the church The suspect told the officers they better take him to jail, because if he left, he was going to go back to the church. He was arrested and charged with Disorderly Conduct and Criminal Trespass.
• Police were called to Mohawk Street on a report of shots fired. A man told them he was sitting in his car when he heard a single shot fired nearby. The man said he waited, then got out of his car and went inside. He said he could hear someone arguing, then saw a group of men get into a car. An off-duty campus police officer said he too heard a gun shot. He went outside to investigate and saw several men beating another man and sprayed them with pepper spray. The suspects left the scene. The victim told police that his ex-girlfriend’s boyfriend c and several other men jumped him. He said he, too, heard a gun shot but didn’t know where it came from. He said he had washed off pepper spray, but refused medical treatment. A search was conducted of the ground but no shell casings were located. Give anonymous crime tips to Crimestoppers at 234-2020
I’ve heard of high explosives, but is there such a thing as low explosives? —CW Yes, there are low as well as high explosives. To get the distinction between the two, we need to think a minute about what happens when something goes boom. Generally speaking, a chemical explosive is a substance that can be made to undergo a reaction in which it rapidly releases heat and highly pressurized gas. Once the reaction gets started it travels through the mass of explosive in a wave, and it’s the speed of this wave that in large part determines the force of the explosion; having lots of explosive go off in a very short time makes for a more concentrated and powerful blast. One way of increasing the reaction velocity and thus the explosive force is through confinement: if the explosion takes place in a tightly enclosed space, more of the gas and heat sticks around and sets off the rest of the explosive more quickly. With these concepts in mind, we can run down the different classes of explosive as defined by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms: • A high explosive is one that can be detonated by a blasting cap (a small explosive designed to set off a larger charge) when unconfined. Note that we’re not using detonated in its standard dictionary sense of “blown up.” In the explosives biz, detonation refers specifically to an explosion in which the reaction travels through the explosive faster than the speed of sound, creating a powerful and fast-moving shock wave. Hall-of-fame high explosives include dynamite and TNT; the phrase dates from the 1870s, not long after such things were first developed. • A low explosive, by contrast, is one that can be made to deflagrate (read: burn very quickly) when confined. Here the reaction wave moves at subsonic speed but still generates plenty of force under the right confinement conditions. It’s the deflagration of modern smokeless gunpowder that drives a bullet down the barrel of a firearm; old-school gunpowder, or black powder, is also a low explosive, as are most large prograde fireworks.
Can one develop resistance to pepper spray through one’s diet? I have been the subject of conversation in my workplace because of my tolerance to pepper spray in training sessions, and I normally eat spicy foods. —Irma What job do you have where you and your coworkers receive facefuls of pepper spray in the course of training? Are you a story editor at Jackass? Hazing coordinator at Fort Benning? In any case, no, under ordinary conditions eating spicy food won’t help you build up a tolerance for pepper spray. For one, spicy food is designed to go in your mouth, where it irritates mucous membranes. Some find this sensation pleasant, some don’t, but the effects are well contained and ordinarily don’t interfere with vision or breathing. Pepper spray, on the other hand, does its incapacitating thing by getting in your eyes, nose, sinuses, and lungs—an experience that an extra splash of hot sauce can’t really prepare you for. And while it’s true that both pepper spray and spicy food get their kick from the same source—the chemical compound capsaicin and some of its close relatives—the pepper spray manufacturers use a lot more of the stuff. Pepper heat is measured in Scoville units: Tabasco sauce registers at about 4,000 units; a raw jalapeño might get up around 8,000. But pepper sprays routinely boast Scoville scores of 2,000,000 and up. OK, OK. If you’re (a) a devotee of those idiotic boutique hot sauces—you know, the ones with names like Liquid Shrapnel or Ebola Juice—that claim Scoville ratings in the mid six figures as well as (b) a very enthusiastic eater who tends to get a lot of food accidentally lodged beneath her eyelids, fine, maybe you’ve improved your resistance to pepper spray a bit. Me, I’d guess you came by your tolerance naturally rather than via the contents of your lunch pail. By cecil adams Comments, questions?

• Blasting agents are mixtures of fuel and oxidizer that can’t be detonated by a certain gauge of blasting cap when unconfined; they may require a series of gradually larger preliminary explosives to get them to go off. The best-known stuff in this class is probably the combo of ammonium nitrate fertilizer and the drag-racing fuel nitromethane that was used in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in April 1995.

After languishing for two years in the Irish legislature, the Nuclear Test Ban Bill of 2006 has recently been rethought and refurbished, according to a June report in the Irish Independent. Originally, the bill codified the U.N. Test Ban Treaty, adding some provisions specific to Ireland. Among those additions was the punishment for anyone detonating a nuclear weapon in Ireland: up to 12 months in jail and/or a fine of up to 5,000 euros (then, around $6,500), along with language that might even allow a person found guilty to apply for first-offense probation. The proposed punishment this time is expected to be considerably harsher.
Can’t Possibly Be True
reportedly selling, as unofficial Olympics souvenirs, key rings with heart-shaped plastic charms that contained live (at least temporarily) goldfish suspended in water. Animal protection advocates were incredulous, according to a June report in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Unclear on the Concept -- Denmark has already aroused Muslims’ ire for a Danish newspaper’s publishing blasphemous caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad in 2006, and in June, the country’s public broadcast channel DR1 sponsored an Internet-voting contest to choose among women (presumably Muslims) modeling headscarves. The winner was 18-year-old Huda Falah, who is Iraqi and one of the 46 women who submitted photographs. DR1 insisted that the contest was more about fashionable headscarves than a beauty contest for the models. Among the prizes: an iPod and a subscription to Muslim Girl magazine. -- “This proves that we are normal,” said the founder of the Liberty Gay Rodeo Association in May during the organization’s event in a Philadelphia suburb. The sight of rugged cowboys and cowgirls, she said, dispels some sexual stereotypes that have plagued gays and lesbians. However, among the events (besides traditional steer riding and calf roping) was “goat dressing” (with pairs of contestants trying to put hot-pink underwear on an uncooperative goat in the shortest time, according to a Reuters report). -- After motorist Mark Holder, 30, had a seizure in Boynton Beach, Fla., in June, his car swerved off the road and smashed into a sign, badly injuring him. Emergency workers arrived and, protecting against possible nerve damage, attempted to put a brace on to stabilize his neck. However, Holder became combative, and sheriff ’s deputies reported that they were forced to shoot Holder “several times” with a Taser to calm him enough that the brace could be fitted.
-- In the 1920s, when inmate “chain gangs” were in their heyday, Alabama sheriffs were allotted a prison meal budget of $1.75 per prisoner per day, with thrifty sheriffs allowed to pocket any excess for themselves. According to a May Associated Press investigation, the policy, and the amount, are unchanged to this day in 55 of the state’s 67 counties, and also unchanged is the fact that sheriffs have cut the menus so cleverly or drastically that some sheriffs still make money on the deal. (The per-meal fee under the National School Lunch program for lowincome students is $2.47.) -- Mr. Gokhan Mutlu filed a lawsuit in May against JetBlue Airways for more than $2 million after he was ordered out of his seat by the captain during a full New York-to-California flight and told to stand up or go “hang out in the bathroom” for the duration. Mutlu had only a gift ticket, and an off-duty JetBlue employee who had originally agreed to sit in the cockpit jump seat changed her mind and thus was given Mutlu’s seat. Mutlu pointed out that he was un-seatbelted during turbulence and during the landing. -- Not Exactly Hard Time: (1) In May, St. Catharines, Ontario, judge Stephen People With Issues Glithero released Wayne Ryczak on 14 months’ jail time already served, as pun(1) In Singapore in June, a 36-year-old ishment for strangling a prostitute in his man was sentenced to 14 years in jail and trailer home.

Least Competent Criminals -- Vendors in Qingdao, China Not Ready for Prime Time: (1) (where Olympic sailing events James Milsom, 21, was arrested will take place in August), were
in Avon and Somerset, England, in June after a hidden camera in a police bait car caught him breaking in and swiping the GPS device. It was his third arrest in four months for breaking into a police bait car to steal a GPS (caught by the hidden camera each time). (2) In June, Reno, Nev., homicide detective David Jenkins was sitting in his unmarked car (but one with emergency lights on the dash and a police radio blaring away) when Mercedes Green, 19, hopped in and, yelling to be heard over the radio, propositioned him for sex. “You’re not the police, are you?” she asked. “What do you think,” he said. “I didn’t think so,” the streetwise woman replied. After her arrest, Green explained: “You wear glasses, and I didn’t think police could wear them.”
Update Luxury toilets were introduced in hygiene-sensitive Japan in the 1970s, and the country has not been able to shake its obsession with smart toilets, which consume more electricity than dishwashers or clothes dryers, according to a June Washington Post dispatch from Tokyo. Said one energy consultant, “For hygieneconscious Japanese, the romance with these toilets is equivalent to the American romance with the Hummer.”
The Aristocrats! A 28-year-old woman, unnamed by the Kitsap (Wash.) Sun, was arrested in May and charged with stealing her husband’s wallet and subsequently assaulting an arresting officer. According to deputies, she had awakened her husband, 24, demanding sex, but he had rebuffed her by insisting that from that point on, the two of them would quit smoking, drinking and cussing, limit their sexual activities and be “good Christians.” Part or all of that did not sit well with the wife, and police arrived to witness her screaming (described as “blood-curdling”), swearing, slamming doors and complaining about her unsatisfactory sex life, while carrying around a large bottle of whiskey. At one point, she allegedly tossed the couple’s 20-pound dog at a deputy (who caught it safely). Readers’ Choice (1) Two young men and a juvenile were charged in May in Houston with corpse abuse after they allegedly dug into a grave in a cemetery in the town of Humble, removed the head, and took it away in order to use it as a bong for smoking marijuana. (2) Jorge Espinal, 44, was taken to a hospital in Fort Worth, Texas, in May after an early-morning incident (alcohol was involved) in which he used a loaded handgun to scratch a hand-to-reach itch on his back and accidentally shot himself.

The International Whaling Commission ended a contentious annual meeting in Chile with Japan offering to not hunt humpback whales for another year. A motion by Norway that would have allowed native tribes in Greenland to kill 10 additional humpbacks was voted down by the 81-nation membership. Greenland currently fails to catch all of the whales from its existing quota. The commission attempted to ease tensions between nations opposed to whaling and the whaling countries of Japan, Iceland and Norway by avoiding votes on other issues. Plans by Brazil, Argentina and South Africa to join Australia’s lead in establishing whaling sanctuaries in their territorial waters were shelved as part of that peacemaking strategy.
Chilean Eruption Southern Chile’s Llaima volcano reawakened from a six-month slumber, spewing lava that could threaten several nearby villages. Chile’s National Emergency Office says about 25 people have already been evacuated. The agency is preparing for possible floods and mudslides that could occur as heat from the eruption melts the mountain’s wintertime snowcap.
Tropical Cyclones Boris briefly became the first named hurricane of
the northeastern Pacific tropical cyclone season, but the storm remained far from any significant land areas. • Tropical Storm Cristina churned the Pacific farther out to sea while Tropical Storm Douglas formed in the wake of both storms to the south of Baja California.

Ape Rights A resolution heading to the Spanish parliament would grant rights to “our non-human brothers.� Following the agenda of the Great Ape Project (GAP), the proposed law would declare that apes may not be killed or arbitrarily deprived of their liberty. Reuters reports the proposal would require the government to end the involuntary use of apes in circuses, television and dangerous experiments. “There is no sound moral reason why possession of basic rights should be limited to members of a particular species,� said philosopher and GAP cofounder Peter Singer. He believes the new law could eventually “pave the way for the extension of rights to all primates, or all mammals, or all animals.� But some opponents say the legislation amounts to extremism. Wesley Smith of the faith-based Discovery Institute wrote in his blog: “Once people accept that premise (ape rights), JudeoChristian philosophy goes to the guillotine.� He warned that apes could become viewed as more important than some humans.

Earthquakes Swarms of tremors that have jolted southern Lebanon and northern Israel since January have geologists in both countries warning that the region could be about to experience a major seismic event. Hundreds of residents in the southern Lebanese village of Srifa, near the epicenter of recent tremors, have been sleeping outside in fear of a major quake. • A 5.3 magnitude temblor left 39 people injured and destroyed more than 100 homes in central Peru. The initial quake and weaker aftershocks triggered landslides that blocked roads across parts of the Andes. • Another earth movement was felt from India’s Andaman Islands to southern Bangladesh.
Atlantic “Alps� Refuge The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) announced that a long stretch of an undersea mountain range between Iceland and the Azores will become one of the largest protected marine areas in the world. The 15-member OSPAR Commission will designate 115,000 square miles of the Atlantic floor a Marine Protected Area, prohibiting certain forms of fishing that can damage the rocky surface. WWF describes the new sanctuary as “a haven for corals, sponges and other species living attached to rocky surfaces, as well as for fish, whales and sharks that feed or spawn by the shallower peaks, or use the canyons and depressions as refuge.�
Ursine Drought A protracted drought parching much of northern Mexico has driven more than 30 black bears into residential areas of Monterrey in search of food and water. The director of the city’s zoo said that bears have been seen killing farm animals, drinking from swimming pools and entering homes around the city of 4 million people. Black bears are protected in Mexico, and local law enforcement personnel are being trained on how to safely capture and relocate the threatened species. Officials say they are trying to figure out how to provide water to the animals in the wild to keep them from venturing into populated areas. by steve newman, universal press syndicate

The 53rd Annual Beaufort Water Fest
It’s been over a half century since this sleepy S.C. town has been celebrating it’s close proximity to wetness. Over the years, that gathering has evolved into three-days of fun geared toward both locals and tourists alike. This year’s event includes: a Crafts Market, Road Race, Children’s Toad Fishing Tournament, Coast Guard Cutter Tours, a Badminton Competition, a Sailing Regatta, a teen dance and of course, a major C & W concert in the city’s Waterfront Park. Last year’s show was rained out, so this time around, regional openers The Chuck Courtenay Band are back to take another stab at entertaining the masses with their blend of triedand-true honky-tonk hits, southern rock anthems and popular dance numbers. This time around, their lineup includes bassist Tim Burke (who took home Best All-Around Local Musician in our latest Readers Poll), guitarist G.E. Perry, drummer Mike Bullock and Nashville-based pedal steel guitarist Tommy Butler, who’s on a break from touring with George Jones’ road show. They’ll warm up the crowd for a headlining set by neo-traditionalist country tunesmith Blake Shelton, who’s earned four No. 1 Country Hits since he burst on the scene in 2001. His latest effort is a unique country spin on jazz vocalist Michael Bublé’s single “Home”. A limited number of $25 tickets are available for this ALL-AGES event. Listen & Learn: blakeshelton.com, myspace. com/chuckcourtenay. Info: bftwaterfestival.com. Sat., 8 pm, Beaufort Waterfront Park - ALL-AGES (no strollers allowed).
First Friday for Folk Music
This long-running monthly coffeehouse-style (family oriented, smoke and alcohol free) showcase of local, regional and national acoustic musicians sponsored by the Savannah Folk Music Society marks its 13th Anniversary by turning over a new leaf and shifting locations from
Soap Operating quite under the radar for a few years now, this quirky, funky, indie-rock band (featuring Rigel Crockett, Antar Ellis, Joachim Kelly, Eric Curl and Louis Clausi) has become something of a familiar sight at house parties, public events in the Starland District and charity functions. Having recently added a veteran lead guitarist (Jake Brown), they’re now stepping out and testing the waters of the club scene. This gig may prove their highest-profile booking to date. Their sets are roughly equal parts angular, exuberant originals and downtown’s Wesley Monumental United Methodist to new midtown digs. This installment is being held one week late to avoid competing with July 4th outings. The lineup this time includes the passionate, “tightly-woven” protest tunes of touring duo Eli (singer) and Bill (fingerstyle guitarist) Perras. Rounding out the bill will be local old-time swing-blues harp and guitar duo Amburgey & Hanson, as well as noted Tybee-based singer/songwriter Jan Spillane, who divides her time between here and Nashville, and whose most recent indie CD of soulful, blues-influenced ballads and folk-pop features some of the

The Hellblinki Sextet - CD Release Party
A typo led us to mistakenly list this eagerly anticipated return engagement by one of the Southeast’s most theatrical and captivating underground bands as taking place last month. Truth is, they’re bringing their “Pirate Cabaret” (a mesmerizing mélange of Brecht-
ian melodrama, boozy, kitchen-sink horn jazz and punk-tinged outbursts) to Savannah this Friday night, and those who have heard tell of —but never witnessed— “Hell’s House Band” would do well to experience what folks all along the East Coast are raving about. Dark, moody and theatrical, the brainchild of frontman Andrew Benjamin is slowly but surely becoming a hot ticket on hipsters’ horizons. They’ve enjoyed a fervent Savannah following for a few years now, so steel yourself for some Grand Guignol Rock & Roll. Listen & Learn: hellblinki.com. Fri., 11 pm, The Jinx.

Malcolm Holcombe
For folks who appreciate heartfelt emotion, understated, poetic lyricism and rough, unadorned, bluegrass-inflected country music that pulls no punches, Weaverville, N.C., native Malcolm Holcombe is among the very best talents alive today. Over the past few years, a dogged touring schedule and steady stream of powerful independent albums have put him in front of more people worldwide than might have seemed possible a decade ago. Now, with his brand-new CD Gamblin’ House hitting the Top 10 on the U.S. Americana Music charts, Holcombe’s work seems to finally be receiving deserved adulation from an increasingly large and diverse audience. I caught up with this unpretentious seer by phone at his rural home in advance of his anticipated repeat engagement at a local counterculture coffeehouse (where he’s one of the few acts that can easily command a $10 cover). Read more at connectsavannah.com. There’s a resurgence of interest in your music of late. Do you feel that? Malcolm Holcombe: Ya hang around the barbershop long enough, you’re gonna get a haircut. How does that work for you? (laughs) So, when was your last haircut? Malcolm Holcombe: That’s been a long time! I remember it was 75 cents when I was growing up. They charge you more now because people gotta look at magazines and have hair like Mr. and Mrs. Jones, you know? I’ve got other things on my mind. But you can always catch up on some good gossip in the chair.
Jubal Kane
What’s the biggest difference between your life today and ten years ago? Malcolm Holcombe: I got a beautiful family. And thanks to fans and friends and the grace of the good Lord, I can do some travelling and see some beautiful people and the country and be of service. Is this a concept album of any sort? Malcolm Holcombe: These have been difficult times the world over, and in our country and every other country there are crosses to bear, you know? Every generation has a responsibility and an accountability to their God and their family and fellow man. So a lot of points have surfaced in these last few years that needed my attention, and that I felt I was obligated to contribute my opinion and thoughts on. Whether that’s achieved or not, I don’t know. It’s not my job to make that call. We just celebrated Independence Day. What does that mean to you? Malcolm Holcombe: Well, I tell you what. I voted for Obama. It’s time to shake things up and he’s gettin’ a lot of younger people out there to register. I think he has a purpose and soul very akin to JFK and Martin Luther King, and I really have faith and hope in this gentleman. I’ve got faith and hope and that’s what keeps us goin’, right? Family, friends and the universe. What: Malcolm Holcombe Where: The Sentient Bean When: 8 pm, Fri., June 11 Cost: $10 for ALL-AGES Info: malcolmholcombe.com

Masquers poke fun at the theatre with Anton in Show Business by linda sickler | linda@connectsavannah.com
Imagine a play written for a cast of women who sometimes play men, that was written by a woman who might really be a man. Wait a minute -- what? Such a play really does exist and it was written by Jane Martin, one of the bestknown unknown playwrights in modern theater. Martin is the darling of the Humana Festival of New American Plays at Actors Theatre of Louisville. More plays by her have been introduced at the festival than by any other playwright. But here’s the strange part. Even though Martin has been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, the ATL has kept her identity secret for more than 20 years. However, Martin is believed by many to be a man named Jon Jory, the ATL’s former producing director. Confused? Don’t worry. There’s nothing confusing about Anton in Show Business, a Martin play that is being presented by the Armstrong Atlantic State University Department of Art, Music and Theatre. “It has an all-female cast of seven that plays both males and females,” says director Samantha Noon. “The whole basis of the play really is to have a laugh at the theater and all the stereotypes involved in the production of a play.” The main characters are a self-centered television actress, a jaded New Yorker and an ingenue who have been brought together in San Antonio, Texas, for a stage production of Anton Chekhov¹s The Three Sisters. The play pokes fun at such theatrical stereotypes as incompetent producers, stupid directors,
Botoxed actors and self-important critics. The play consists of several skits. “There are very few light changes,” Noon says. “While the changes occur, the actors are still acting so it’s like the audience is watching a rehearsal of the play.” Anton is for mature audiences. “That’s really because of the language, and there are a couple of love scenes,” Noon says. Hillary Kaye plays Holly. “She’s a 30-yearold drop-dead gorgeous TV star with a big ego,” Noon says. “She knows they can’t fire her because the play needs credibility, so she’s a diva.” Whitney Williamson plays Lisabette, the ingenue. “She’s the youngest at 24, and she’s very naive, energetic, and she’s from Texas where the play is taking place,” Noon says. Sage Tipton plays Casey. “Holly is from LA and Casey from New York, so there is a very big gap between them,” Noon says. “Casey is 36, kind of plain. She is a veteran stage actress, yet she’s actually never been paid a salary until this play.” The rest of the cast plays multiple roles. “All the characters are different, and having them play guys is hilarious,” Noon says. “The most difficult thing is that the play requires several costume changes. The most challenging thing is getting tech onboard and making sure everything goes smoothly.” Ashton Carr plays four different characters. “I play T-Anne, she’s a stage manager,” Carr says. “I play Andwyneth, she’s a director for the play within a play. “I also play Don Blount,” Carr says. “He
works in a tobacco company, Albert and Sons Tobacco Co. He’s really arrogant, pompous -- he’s really all about himself. “I also play the airport announcer, the gate manager at the airport,” Carr says. “It’s a lot of work, pretty much of it off-stage learning lines. For the guys, I have to deepen the voice and make it male.” Carr is a theater major at AASU. “When I first auditioned for the part, Sam told me the part I would likely be good for was three to four different roles,” she says. “It’s very fun and it’s never boring. “With a cast of all women, everyone always has something to talk about,” Carr says. “There’s always something going on. “It’s a very funny and interesting play,” she says. “It’s kind of insulting to the theater industry, but in a funny way.” Cassandra Bogue plays three characters. “I’m Kate, the producing director of the play,” Bogue says. “She’s a quirky individual who has a tendency to ramble and not be able to express herself clearly. “Jackie is a very flamboyant gay male costume designer,” Bogue says. “That’s a very fun part to play. “Ben is a heterosexual male country singer. That’s probably the biggest stretch for me. I’m from Michigan, so I don’t speak with a Southern accent on a regular basis. It’s a hilarious show that’s full of witty one-liners.” Bogue is a graduate of Wayne State University in Detroit. “I came in for an audition,” she says. “I’d done a couple of other shows and I’d heard of this all-female comedy and knew it
was going to be a lot of fun. “Sam called me and said she had cast me as Kate,” Bogue says. “Then I got the script and realized Kate also plays two other characters. My jaw kept dropping! But I love a challenge.” To prepare for the role, Bogue has spent a lot of time in front of the mirror. “For Ben, I’ve been playing with my face a lot and my posture, too, to make it seem more masculine,” she says. “The voice thing comes with practice. I’m trying to change my physical person to look more manly and aggressive. I’m also trying to play up Kate’s femininity to create more juxtaposition between them.” Bogue says audiences will enjoy Anton. “It’s hilarious, controversial, it tackles race, sex, the theater world, anything you can think of,” she says. “It’s one of those shows where you don’t have be a theater person to enjoy it.” AASU’s Department of Art, Music & Theatre: Anton in Show Business A play within a play that pokes fun at the theater world.

Hancock
The idea behind Robert Frost’s soul-stirring poem “The Road Not Taken” can be applied to Hancock, a summer sci-fi outing that, somewhat surprisingly, ends up taking the path “less traveled by.” Yet equally surprising is the fact that this enjoyable film would have been even better had it played out as expected. The premise is irresistible, a counterpoint to all the more serious-minded superhero flicks that have been invading multiplexes in recent years. Hancock (played by Will Smith) is an alcoholic, antisocial superhero whose crimefighting exploits usually end up causing millions of dollars in damage to the city of Los Angeles). The residents have had enough of him, and the police even have a warrant out for his arrest. Hancock couldn’t care less until the day he meets -- and saves the life of -- public relations guy Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman). The sensitive and progressive Ray decides that he’s going to help Hancock overhaul his public image, transforming him from a menace to society into a hero worthy of love and respect. Ray’s wife Mary (Charlize
Theron), however, thinks that it’s a waste of time, and that Hancock will never be able to straighten himself out. The first half sprints with this plotline, resulting in a movie that’s consistently funny and inventive. But without warning, scripters Vincent Ngo and Vince Gilligan orchestrate a major plot pirouette, one that dramatically changes the relationships between the characters and allows a sharp satire to mutate into a melodrama, a romance, a tragedy, and a myth-building muddle that might remind some viewers of titles like Highlander or Kate & Leopold. No movie should survive such a shift -- at least one that executes it as clumsily as this one -- and yet the picture manages to get back on its feet, thanks in no small part to the conviction that Smith and Theron bring to their roles.
The dialogue of the title robot mostly consists of beeps and chirps and the occasional electronically altered word -- just get Jim Carrey or Bruce Willis for one day’s work, right? Well, except that even here, Pixar suits followed their own instincts instead of the bottom line. It thrilled me to no end to learn that they settled on Ben Burtt, the multiOscar-winning sound designer responsible for creating the creature effects heard in 1977’s Star Wars (yes, including R2D2). What’s even more gratifying is that Burtt’s shining moment is at the center of a worthy motion picture, a delightful film that so far earns the crown as this summer’s best release. WALL-E is a treat for the young and old alike, although, more than any of Pixar’s past releases, this one might end up endearing itself even more to adults than to the small fry. Ultimately WALL-E is about nothing less than one of the tenets of human existence: the need to find a partner with whom to share life’s experiences. Of course, the switch here is that it’s a robot, not a human, who’s in need of companionship. WALL-E is the last of his type, a Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-class robot who rumbles around a deserted Earth collecting and compressing trash. All of the human inhabitants has long since abandoned the polluted planet to take up residence in a gargantuan spaceship (named Axiom) light years away, and what’s left down here is a wasteland seemingly unable to sustain any form of life. For his part, WALL-E carries on his prime directive of cleaning up, yet he’s developed enough human-like traits to know what he likes. And what he likes is collecting interesting knickknacks (like a Rubik’s cube, a spork and lighters -- lots of lighters) and watching an old videocassette of Hello, Dolly! The musical teaches him about the concept of love, so when a sleek robot named EVE (Extra-terrestrial Vegetation Evaluator) is dropped off on the planet to search for signs that it might be inhabitable again, WALL-E pursues her. Initially, EVE is all-business, but she eventually warms to his considerable charms, and once she’s ferried back to Axiom, our intrepid little Romeo determines not to let her get away. I won’t reveal any of the action that takes place on the Axiom, but rest assured that the movie retains its comic invention while adding slight degrees of action and menace. And who knew that romance between robots could be so affecting?
Get Smart Get Smart, the now-cult TV sitcom that aired from 1965 to 1970, was created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, and these legendary funnymen are listed in the
credits of the new motion picture spinoff Get Smart as “creative consultants.” The word is that neither of them actually had any input in what turns up on the screen, which probably explains why major facets of this motion picture differ from what fans fondly recall about the show. But in at least one respect, there’s a striking similarity: Both have no problem providing the laughs. This new version does away with the Cold War backdrop, though there’s also no mention of the War on Terror or 9/11 or any other unpleasantness soiling this modern world. In fact, except for a snarky comment about liberal Hollywood stars and the sight of James Caan as a dim bulb president who can’t pronounce the word “nuclear,” there’s very little real-world relevance, which is just fine. Instead, the well-worn plot finds K.A.O.S. head Siegfried (Terence Stamp, taking over Bernie Kopell’s role from the series) threatening to destroy the world unless he gets paid a substantial sum, and the movie seems as much a Bond spoof as a Get Smart homage. Carell, whose Maxwell Smart is (slightly) more intelligent than Don Adams’, and Hathaway are wellpaired, and there are choice supporting stints by Alan Arkin as The Chief and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as the macho Agent 23. In between all the gags and all the action scenes, there’s an identifiable human element at work, and this empathy prevents this from becoming just another big, dumb summer comedy.

The Love Guru If I had ever entertained the notion that Mike Myers would make another movie as awful as The Cat In the Hat, I might have opted for early retirement. Yet here comes The Love Guru. Myers, who also co-wrote (with Graham Gordy) what we’ll loosely refer to as the screenplay, stars as Guru Pitka, an American-born, Indianraised spiritual leader who’s miffed that he places second to Deepak Chopra when it comes to the popularity of self-help gurus. As children, both Pitka and Chopra were taught by -- say it fast to get the “joke” -- Guru Tugginmypudha, who trains his young charges by urinating in a bucket and then making his pupils fight each other with piss-saturated mops. Tugginmypudha is played by none other than Ben Kingsley, who 25 years ago won an Oscar for playing the great Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi. Pitka is given a golden opportunity to pass Chopra in mass appeal when he’s hired by Toronto Maple Leafs owner Jane Bullard (Jessica Alba, and you know you’re in trouble when she’s one of the more tolerable aspects of a movie) to patch matters up between the hockey team’s star player, Darren Roanoke (Romany Malco), and his estranged wife Prudence (Meagan Good), who lately has continues on page 28

been stepping out with the enormously endowed Los Angeles Kings goalie Jacques “Le Coq” Grande (Justin Timberlake). And yes, every time Le Coq pulls out le cock, we predictably hear a thud as it hits the floor. In fact, predictability is a rampant problem with The Love Guru. When Pitka’s parents are revealed to have been dog groomers before becoming missionaries, we count the seconds until Tugginmypudha cracks about how they were into doggie style before they switched to the missionary position. That’s not to say every joke is apparent before the fact. I didn’t expect to see Pitka pull a cue stick out of his ass and smell it. Or Pitka literally shove his head up said ass while demonstrating yoga positions. For months, Hindu groups have been protesting this film’s release. I’m surprised the outfit Little People of America hasn’t joined them, given the amount of jokes aimed at Verne Troyer, the diminutive actor who plays Maple Leafs coach Cherkov. Blatantly non-P.C. humor can certainly be funny, but when it fails to deliver the laughs it merely comes across as pathetic and mean-spirited and more than a little embarrassing.
WANTED Based on the graphic novel series, Wanted initially feels like an unofficial remake of Fight Club, as cubicle nobody Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy, speaking of Atonement) narrates how he’s been beaten down by his mundane, miserable existence (cheating girlfriend, obnoxious boss, dead-end job). Into his life walks not Tyler Durden but Fox (Angelina Jolie), a tattooed beauty who insists that he’s been targeted for elimination by the same man (Thomas Kretschmann) who recently killed his father. Fox soon introduces Wesley to The Fraternity, a clandestine outfit led by the cordial Sloan (Morgan Freeman). Shucking aside any moral qualms, Wesley
We N ow S e r ve , A s ia n B e e rs W in e s & Sake
joins the group, in the process learning that he possesses untapped skills that make him a natural for this line of work. Russian director Timur Bekmambetov, best known for the visually striking yet dramatically inert Nochnoi Dozor (Night Watch) and its sequels, has crafted a slam-bang feature that revels in its own ridiculousness: To criticize the movie’s outlandish situations would be to miss the whole point of Bekmambetiv’s exercise in excess. Still, the script’s twists and turns aren’t nearly as clever as writers Michael Brandt, Derek Haas and Chris Morgan pretend and after a while, the movie’s gleeful approach to nihilism proves wearying.
The Incredible Hulk Is it just me, or is anyone else hankering to go out and rent a handful of episodes from the late 70s/early 80s TV series The Incredible Hulk? Bill Bixby was a smart choice to play the smart scientist, and in retrospect, it was downright comforting to have his rampaging alter ego played by an oversized actor spray-painted in green. In this modern age, moviemakers have opted to keep Dr. Jekyll but do away with Mr. Hyde, replacing him with a CGI creation. The results were disastrous in Ang Lee’s 2003 Hulk. This attempt to save the franchise (new director, new writer, new cast) is clearly a superior follow-up, even if the computers still can’t quite capture the misunderstood monster on film. That’s a shame, because Edward Norton does his part by providing Bruce Banner with the requisite sense of torn humanity, and the film is filled with imaginative asides for fans of the comic book and/or TV series (my favorite is the shout-out to the late Bixby, showing him on a TV screen in an episode from his popular sitcom The Courtship of Eddie’s Father).

The Happening The Happening starts off well before steadily traipsing downhill, and in that respect, it perfectly mirrors writer-director M. Night Shyamalan’s career in this vein right up until this latest release. The Sixth Sense may have been a critical and commercial smash, but each subsequent film was less satisfying than the one which preceded it. The Happening at least represents a step up. Opening in Central Park and then combing out through the NYC streets, the first scenes show countless people suddenly become zombie-like before proceeding to take their own lives. It’s soon revealed that this phenomenon is spreading to all major cities throughout the northeast chamber of the country; this includes Philadelphia, where high school science teacher Elliot (Mark Wahlberg) and his wife Alma (Zooey Deschanel) elect to leave town before the plague hits. Or is it a plague? No one has a definitive answer. It’s during these early passages, when we’re as baffled as the characters, that the film is at its strongest. But the self-appointed master of the last-minute twist here elects to reveal the mystery somewhere around the picture’s halfway mark. It’s such a threadbare revelation that the movie ambles forward with nothing else left to say.
You Don’t Mess With the Zohan It was Mae West who famously quipped (in 1933’s I’m No Angel), “When I’m good, I’m very, very good, but when I’m bad, I’m better.” You Don’t Mess With the Zohan inspires a bastardization of that quote: When it’s funny, it’s very, very funny, but when it’s bad, it’s downright awful. That’s a shame, because choice moments suggest that this could have been Adam Sandler’s best comedy -- not a Herculean feat, by
any means, but after a career littered by the likes of Big Daddy, Little Nicky and the dismal remake of The Longest Yard, we’ll take what we can get. Penning the script with Robert Smigel and omniscient “It” guy Judd Apatow, Sandler, whose newly buff frame and stylish facial hair prove to be a good look for him, plays Zohan, an Israeli antiterrorist agent who tires of his violent lot in life. While battling his arch-nemesis, the Palestinian warrior The Phantom (John Turturro), Zohan fakes his own death and moves to New York to pursue his dream of becoming a hair stylist.
KUNG FU PANDA It isn’t obnoxious. It isn’t without heart or soul. It isn’t packed to the rafters with potty humor. In short, it isn’t like the majority of today’s non-Pixar animated features. It’s important not to oversell the picture, because it’s still a formulaic family film featuring the usual type of underachiever who invariably headlines toon romps of this nature. But in other ways, it’s a delight, wrapping its familiar messages of acceptance and self-confidence in the middle of a provocative visual scheme. Jack Black employs his patented shtick as an overweight panda who longs to become a martial arts expert, but it suits this story just fine. As the vicious snow leopard who seeks to claim the high-andmighty title of Dragon Warrior, Deadwood’s Ian McShane effectively provides guttural menace. And while the actors who provide the voices for the legendary martial arts outfit The Furious Five aren’t given enough to do (Angelina Jolie, Seth Rogen, David Cross, Lucy Liu and poor Jackie Chan are the victims), all is forgiven whenever Master Shifu appears on screen. It’s a sizable part, meaning that we’re constantly treated to Dustin Hoffman’s quirky take on the role of a diminutive red panda who serves as mentor to the other animals.

ARIES
March 21-April 19
“The only way to get a difficult feeling to go away is simply to love yourself for it,” says author Christiane Northrup. “If you think you’re stupid, then love yourself for feeling that way. It’s a paradox, but it works. To heal, you must . . . shine the light of compassion on any areas within you that you feel are unacceptable.” While I personally believe this is a crafty strategy, I suggest adding a twist in order to double its effectiveness: As you’re loving yourself for your difficult feeling, literally laugh out loud at how crazily worried and wound up you are about it.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20
According to Harper’s Index, 97 percent of us believe that following our own conscience is a sign of a strong character. On the other hand, 92 percent of us think that obeying authorities shows strong character. What that apparently means is that most of us feel we can and should heed the dictates of our own conscience and please the people who control things. In the coming weeks, I think that might be possible for you to do once or twice. But most the time, I suspect you’ll have to decide between being either an impeccable rebel or loyal devotee.
GEMINI
May 21-June 20
Some people skip to the end of a book and read the last few pages while they’re still in its early stages. They want to know what will ultimately happen without going through the steps that lead up to it. While it’s harmless to prematurely peek at how a book’s story resolves, trying a similar approach could cause problems if you do it with your life in the coming weeks. Distortions might arise from trying to “time-travel” to a future date and foresee the outcome of a process you’re in the middle of. It could sap your ability to carry out the work you’ll need to do. Or it may fill you with false expectations that cause you to misjudge your allies. Be patient.
CANCER
June 21-July 22
Mazel tov is a Hebrew phrase meaning “good luck,” but
its literal translation is “may the stars be good to you.” It suggests that stellar energies influence our fate. In his book Jewish Magic and Superstition, Joshua Trachtenberg riffs on Judaism’s ancient debate about the subject: “The stars determine human actions, but they too are creatures of G-d, established by Him to perform this special function, and therefore the influence they exert is subject to His Will. Repentance, prayer, piety, charity, good deeds . . . are the instruments by means of which man can induce G-d to alter His decrees and consequently to modify the fate that is written in the stars for him.” I offer this, Cancerian, as evidence that the title of my column, “Free Will Astrology,” is not an oxymoron. You have more power to shape your destiny than you imagine -- and now is a perfect time to prove it.
LEO
July 23-Aug. 22
This oracle was originally commissioned by a spiritual wilderness school to train its students in high-stress meditation. It has been tested by disciplined explorers who’ve learned to be fluid and resourceful in the midst of natural chaos. Now it’s being made available to you, Leo -- just in time for the last stretch of your dash (or crawl) across the wasteland. By contemplating the code phrase that appears at the end of this message, you will discover the key for turning poisons into medicine, taking advantage of your weaknesses, and knowing your direction without a compass. Here it is: Love the beauty and intelligence that are hidden in your darkness.
VIRGO
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
In Terry Pratchett’s book Wyrd Sisters, there’s a passage in which he talks about how the sun conspires with the forest to pump millions of gallons of sap hundreds of feet from the ground up into the sky. And it all happens “in one great systolic thump too big and loud to be heard.” That’s the kind of activity I recommend for you in the coming weeks, Virgo. Collaborate with the source of all life -- the physical sun, if that’s your preference, or God or Goddess, if that works better for you -- to
pull off a huge movement of lifeblood that brings sustenance from below to above.
LIBRA
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
In July 1969, astronaut Buzz Aldrin was the second human to walk on the moon. That was the good news. The bad news was that as he carried out his heroic feat, he wet his pants. He testifies to the event in the documentary film In the Shadow of the Moon. I suspect you may soon have a comparable experience, Libra: experiencing a little boo-boo or no-no while you’re riding high. Though it may make you feel vulnerable at the time, it’s trivial in the big scheme of things and isn’t likely to stick with you. How many people even know that Aldrin accidentally peed at his moment of glory?
SCORPIO
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
About nine million people see this column regularly. On average, nine of them experience a one-in-a-million coincidence each week. In the next seven days, however, I believe as many as 90,000 of my readers will have that kind of mind-blowing synchronicity, and most of them will be Scorpios. That’s because your tribe is in a phase when happy accidents and miraculous flukes are practically unavoidable. Even if you don’t brush up against a one-in-a-million stroke of lucky fate, I bet you’ll be touched by a one-in-a-thousand event.
SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21
“Dear Flow Meister: I’ve been surfing the tidal waves of emotion for many days, and am proud to say I haven’t wiped out once (though here were two near-misses). But to tell you the truth, I don’t know how much longer I can perform this balancing act. How much stamina can one person have? Do you psychically see signs that I’ll reach shore anytime soon? -Wobbly Surfer.” Dear Wobbly: I predict an end to your trials by Wednesday, July 23 -- or earlier if you, too, become a flow meister.
CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19
“Ice cream is both innocent and erotic,” writes Klintron on Technoc-
cult.com. “Coffee promises to be both stimulating and relaxing.” These examples illustrate the idea of “paradessence,” or paradoxical essence, which was developed by Alex Shakar in his novel The Savage Girl. I suspect that you’ll specialize in paradessence in the coming days, Capricorn. Will that make you feel tormented by crazy-making contradictions or will it excite you with an expanding sense of complex possibilities? It will be largely up to your intentions. Which would you prefer?
AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18
It’s Wallow in Your Envy and Jealousy Week. During this holiday, you may in good conscience explore your covetous resentments and plumb the depths of your longing for what others have attained. Here’s the payoff: Giving yourself this perverse pleasure should keep you relatively free from envy and jealousy for the next three months. To get yourself in the mood, read this excerpt from Dave Morrison’s poem “Jealous”: “I am jealous of those who do stupid things and feel no shame. I am jealous of the dead for their reduced workload, jealous of newborn babies for their clean records. I’m jealous of those older than me for what they know, and those younger than me for what they don’t. I am jealous of dogs who don’t think about living, or dying, they just do.”
PISCES
Feb. 19-March 20)
The world’s oldest penises are 400 million years old. Discovered in Scotland in 2001, they’re part of the fossilized remains of an arachnid species known as daddy longlegs. In reporting their find, the paleontologists marveled that the reproductive organ was two-thirds the size of the entire creature. Let’s make this ancient genital a power symbol for you, Pisces. (If you prefer, you can focus on the 400-million-year-old daddy longlegs’ vaginas that were also found.) I hope it inspires you to think back to the time when your sexual desires first began to stir. The future of your intimate relationships will benefit from you reconnecting to the primal purity of your original erotic urges.
