We don’t teach young people about sex very well. The Centers for Disease Control says that fewer than half of American high schools and one in five middle schools are teaching essential sex education topics.With that in mind – and a lifetime o
Jack-o-lanterns, spooky decorations, costumes. Some of us aren’t very excited about this time of drama and make believe. But it’s perfect for writer Alledria Hurt.“I love Halloween season,” she says, confessing that this year, she’s planning o
I don’t know how many Grammy award winners are living in Savannah. But it can’t be many. And classical music singer Kurt Ollman is probably tired of talking about it.But (as I know well) “award-winning” (in my case, broadcast journalism) is a
Jack Johnson couldn’t have spoken truer words than Savannah’s own Josephine Johnson.“Things seem to be happier on the ukulele,” she says.The ukulele brings us “Banana Pancakes,” Israel Kamakawiwo’ole and Pacific breezes.And it fits her, Sava
We can do hard things. I know it sounds crazy. And I’m totally stealing that phrase from a Massachusetts parish minister, the Rev. Elea Kemler. But we can. Do hard things.The idea comes to mind when I think about the effort to rename Savannah’
Laurence Gottlieb doesn’t know exactly how it happened. But his mother once made a baking mistake. And out came a chewy chocolate cookie that everyone came back for.Gottlieb’s bakery, satisfying Savannah’s sweet tooth since 1885, originally ca
When Willie Johnson quits farming – and at 73, the owner of Port Wentworth’s Promised Land Farms knows he has too – he says he’ll miss plowing and watching things grow.But after a few minutes of talking to him, it’s clear that his favorite par
You can’t climb mountains and avoid substantial risk. You can’t climb mountains and lose your focus or determination. So what lessons can we learn from a mountain climber who also happens to lead an international aid organization?Adventurer a
I’m here to tell you that the good guys sometimes win. The bad guys are on a roll right now. But sometimes they lose. Or in this case they back down.Just how bad was Republic Services’ proposal to dump 10,000 tons of toxic coal ash per day int
Syrian refugee and new Savannah neighbor Naji Abousaleh remembers safer times in Aleppo, where he lived most of his 67 years and taught English. But safe wasn’t happy.“Because you’re afraid,” he says. “Because of the spies that work for the go
Has any Savannah singer come as far, and as fast, as Laiken Love? Barely five years after taking voice lessons and starting her own band and two years after she says she “turned a corner,” she’s one of our city’s most in-demand female vocalists
Everyone can identify with being “the odd one” at some time in their lives. Everyone also can identify with not being able to master some new skill.So when someone takes these barriers and smashes them – turning them into business and art in
I travel for soccer. I’ve boarded trains and busses and driven to places like DC, Atlanta and Orlando to watch quality players kick a ball from end to end, an artful physicality my football and basketball loving friends call “boring.” I call it
You can look the other way. You can turn off the television. But it doesn’t stop reality. Humanity is experiencing its greatest refugee crisis since World War II, with conflict and persecution forcing millions to flee places like Syria, Afghani
Sometimes, it doesn’t seem like anything we do is making a big difference. We ask of the things we make and the words we speak: Are they mere bread crumbs on the floor?Yes, but what if other people are leaving bread crumbs, too? And what if t
Last year’s December 7th marked the 75th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. So until September 2nd (VJ Day), 2020, expect World War II 75th anniversaries to come and go, mostly unnoticed.Here on Georgia’s coast, I haven’t hear
When a school falls in the woods, does it make a sound? Or, to ask the question a little differently, when a school fails, when a church mission fails, when a whole community disappears into history’s ether, does it leave a legacy?That’s what
Long a fixture in Savannah’s music scene, singer-guitarist Andrew Gill and I met a few years ago at Jerry’s Lounge, the Southside dive where I sing karaoke every week.He blew the bar away and I wondered, “Who is that guy?” The DJ told me his n
Sometimes it takes someone else to show us how much of a difference we make in people’s lives. For Johnny Jameson, a Los Angeles letter carrier, that someone lived in an apartment where he delivered mail.“I didn’t know that my life had such a
Interior designers don’t get their names on walls. Much of their work is temporary. And people really only tend to notice it either when it’s drop-dead spectacular, as in “Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous,” or gaspingly hideous, as in a dated h
When I walk around Lake Mayer sometimes, I find myself asking, “What the hell is that noise?” Every now and then, the tranquility of ducks and sailboats is interrupted by what sounds like bees swarming, along with an auctioneer’s voice, fast an
I can’t remember where or when I learned not to mix electricity and water, stare at the sun, drink gasoline or swim far offshore. These are things humans “just know” not to do.People do these things, of course. But they get electrocuted, go bl
I’m going to write something terrible about Georgia’s wonderful barrier islands. It might get me some mean looks here and there. It’s not even true. How about truthy?Our dear islands, at least the more natural and remote ones, aren’t very colo
I might call Isaac Smith a modern folk singer. I might spend a lot of time, as I have, trying to find just the right comparison to him out there in the wider indie music press, where he certainly deserves to be.Does he sound like Joshua Hyslop
When you gaze upon Georgia’s marshes, can you see the hand of Sydney Lanier? The poet’s “Marshes of Glynn” inspired generations of Americans to connect their wetlands and seas with “the greatness of God.” Could Lanier be considered an enviro
