Who Watches The Watchers?

It’s a venerable system of accountability, part of the fabric of any true republic.

As centuries attest, power does indeed corrupt absolutely, so people who dislike dictatorships started instituting separate entities to keep other entities in check.

“It’s a dream come true,” says Chef Kenny Burnap as he shifts in his seat. I imagine this is the first time he’s had a seat today; it’s likely an unfamiliar body position for a chef running a kitchen.

In Chattanooga’s extended punk family, scenes and cities in states across the nation, from Florida to Ohio to California, could practically be considered siblings.

A Chef Changes Course Gourmet chef creates sandwiches on the Southside

By Alex Curry Pulse City Editor

“No one in America should ever be afraid to walk down the street holding the hand of the person they love.” — Barack Obama This being the final week of National Pride Month, I am recalling the many conversations I’ve had with parents of gay offspring.

These loving folks had a lot of support via PFLAG, and also a lot of questions. In honor of families finding the path to unconditional love, I want to share some inspiration with you.

“Family isn’t always blood. It’s the people in your life who want you in theirs; the ones who love you no matter what.” — Jake Woodard “If my son comes out gay I’ll slap him… with a high five because coming out to your dad takes balls that most men don’t have.”

“My parents refused to attend my brother’s ‘gay wedding,’ so they’re not invited to my straight one.” — Whisper.com “If you’re LGBTQ and worried, please remember, you’ve got a whole army of us at your back and we’re not going anywhere.”

— Seen on a T-shirt

“

Greatness is not achieved through a few miraculous moments; it is created in the years of fire and sweat, scarred skin and missed holidays.”

“I

t’s a dream come true,” says Chef Kenny Burnap as he shifts in his seat. I imagine this is the first time he’s had a seat today; it’s likely an unfamiliar body position for a chef running a kitchen. A million details must be pressing on his busy mind, but in the moment, he’s here with me.

That seems to be the life of an executive chef. Small moments of microfocus, seemingly unrelated to each other from the outside; small parts to make one synchronized flowing whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Greatness is not achieved through a few miraculous moments; it is created in the years of fire and sweat, scarred skin and missed holidays.

Kenny spent several years in the Pacific Northwest where he attended the Oregon Coast Culinary Institute.

“My dad was a professional fisherman on the Oregon coast. He taught me how to forage. On the coast it’s crazy, you can pick a bag full of chanterelles in no time, or

go crabbing and come back with a bucket full of Dungeness crab,” reminisces Chef Burnap.

The PNW is a wonderland for ingredient-focused cooking. After several years of immersing himself in Oregon’s offerings, Kenny and his girlfriend moved back to Chattanooga.

“I asked my wife to marry me at Crabtree Farms. I stuck the ring on a piece of okra and surprised her,” he lets out a jovial laugh.

Kenny has lived a life of food. His history is abundant with gastronomic influence. He grew up with his grandparents where he learned to garden and can vegetables.

“We picked wild blackberries, made jams and cobblers. My grand-

EDITOONS

pa grew squash and muscadines.

They taught me a lot about nice foods and about the things you can control and do yourself. My extended family had a tobacco farm in Sweetwater. They had amazing gardens and produce. My Aunt Rosie would make biscuit bread and fried chicken. It was so good.”

Kenny glows with nostalgia as he remembers his past. It is no surprise that he has ended up where he is. He likely had little choice in the matter but to share his passion for food with the world.

Kenny’s Southside Sandwiches certainly is this chef’s dream come true. After he spent 11 years working at St. John’s, owner Josh Carter approached him about the idea.

“A lot of the time it was a joke.

We’d have some nice Kobe or something with a lot going on. I would say: ‘I think it would just be great on a sandwich.’ I’m honored that Josh approached me about it. I couldn’t do it without my crew, especially FOH

manager Julia Rox and sous chef Brandon Moore. I’m still trying to be thoughtful. Even if it’s simple, it can be good, even at a lesser price point.

Why not make it as good as we can?”

There we have it, a chef with 11 years of fine dining experience opens a sandwich and breakfast restaurant.

Now we all have what we didn’t even know we were missing in the first place.

“We make chorizo in-house. Hams, pastrami, case sausages, capicola.

We always make bacon and breakfast sausage in-house,” Kenny continues.

I asked him when he’ll be selling his wares for customers to take home.

He’s thinking about it. Let’s all take a moment to let him know we want it.

Kenny’s is open Tuesday through Sunday. Stop in for a delicious, fresh, seasonal meal to start off (or take a break from) your work day. You can order before you get there and pick it up on your way through. Kenny’s is a year in. Let’s make sure they are here for many more.

Self-Driving Doesn’t Mean You I’ve got a license…and now I can’t drive (anymore)

W David Traver Adolphus Pulse columnist

“

There are lots of people for whom cars are only appliances, for whom all the driving is tedious. It’s maybe even a majority of people, and the market doesn’t cater to the minority.”

David Traver Adolphus is a freelance automotive researcher who quit his full time job writing about old cars to pursue his lifelong dream of writing about old AND new cars. Follow him on Twitter as @proscriptus.

E’VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT what our autonomous future looks like, at least from certain perspectives; it was even our cover story for the 2017 Automotive issue here at The Pulse, in fact. And in general, we’re in favor.

The near future will see much of what’s terrible about driving replaced with a space that actually benefits both drivers and society in general. Your commute will get shorter, faster, and greener when a network of cars is planning the route for maximum efficiency.

As for you, when you’re actually in your self-driving car, you won’t be driving through terrible, infuriating, stopand-go traffic. You’ll be doing something—anything—else, whether it’s sleeping, watching a movie, chatting, or working. Or eating, probably. None of the other drivers will be doing anything obnoxious, either, because the cars will just be trundling along. It has amazing potential to lower our collective blood pressure.

Even as a professional lover of cars and driving them, I don’t mind giving up the tedious parts at all. But there are lots of people for whom cars are only appliances, for whom all the driving is tedious. It’s maybe even a majority of people, and the market doesn’t cater to the minority. So the driverless future isn’t going to be driverless cars just in the cities, it’s rapidly going to be everywhere.

There are lots of things that I, and I’m betting you, don’t do. I don’t know how to thresh nor even grind my own wheat.

I have never churned butter, nor have I ever packed clay and straw together

to make building materials, and I would bet good money that almost no Pulse readers have, either, unless there’s some huge medieval revival movement of which I am unaware.

Not because no one needs flour or butter or bricks, but because those jobs are largely mechanized. Automation doesn’t so much take jobs as skills. Autonomous cars won’t just take delivery and taxi jobs, they will eventually take the very skills of driving.

It will be gradual, at least at first, and not complete—you can drive over to the Folk School in Brasstown, NC, and take classes in making cane chairs, scrimshaw, or hammered dulcimers. But it will be pervasive and almost unavoidable: Even if you want to make your own forks, it might not be convenient to set up a coal forge in your condo.

Those activities are largely relegated to specialized facilities and very rural areas, which describes the race tracks

and dirt roads where the few people still motivated to drive will congregate.

Will it be a loss? Maybe for a generation or two. I imagine the wagon drivers of 1908 thought something amazing was going away, and maybe it was. But we’re not wading through horse crap or getting our chests caved in by errant kicks on a daily basis, either.

The infrastructure and social bandwidth currently devoted to the mechanisms and trappings of driving ourselves around will rapidly be repurposed for whatever else we need more. DNA sequencing? The Hunt for Elves? Or Elvis?

We essentially can’t know, because it’s on the other side of this little event horizon we’re in the middle of creating.

We go through those radical shifts every moment, where we end something and allow a new thing to be created in its place. Driving will go the way of fletching arrows, and we won’t miss it for very long at all.

COVER STORY

Who Watches The Watchers?

Police Advisory Committee seeks difficult balance

I

T’S A VENERABLE SYSTEM OF ACCOUNTABILITY, PART of the fabric of any true republic. As centuries attest, power does indeed corrupt absolutely, so people who dislike dictatorships started instituting separate entities to keep other entities in check.

By Alex Teach Pulse contributor

Police officers, in particular, bear such scrutiny because of the inherent power of their positions—specifically in the authority granted to them by citizens (via legislators) to take away their freedom if they deem fit based on training, law, circumstances, and especially discretion.

At issue here today, however, is not who’s watching the Watchers; today we’re going to talk about who’s watching the Watchers who are watching the Watchers.

I’m speaking about citizen review boards (also known as citizen oversight boards, citizen review committees, etc.), and now it’s the City of Chattanooga’s turn.

For a little background, this topic gained traction locally for two particu-

lar reasons. One was a spate of highly publicized officer transgressions from excessive use of force to rape accusations in the media over the last year.

Then last November, in response to a police-involved fatality of a young black man, the citizens of Nashville voted to amend their city charter to create a Community Oversight Board, an independent body to review cases of alleged Metropolitan Nashville police misconduct.

This, like Red Bull, gave the conversation wings.

The ballot issue, initially proposed by a coalition of Nashville community organizations under the banner of “Community Oversight Now”, caught the attention of the Nashville’s Fraternal Order of Police lodge, who responded prior to the vote with a protracted public relations campaign to fight this idea.

The FOP spent just under a half-million

8 • THE PULSE • JUNE 27, 2019 • CHATTANOOGAPULSE.COM

dollars in advertising to the CON’s roughly $11,000+, only to lose and see the proposed amendment pass.

This in turn caught the attention of the Tennessee State Legislature. Many of its majority members saw a threat to law and order because of the potential for undermining police confidence in government, potentially slowing down enforcement activities and putting citizens at greater risk against crime. And so, Tennessee House Bill 658 and Senate Bill 1407 were born, intended to regulate police oversight boards statewide. (That’s right; a law was drafted to regulate the people tasked with regulating the people in Internal Affairs who regulate the cops.)

In our sweet burg of Chattanooga, we too are in the process of creating a police oversight board (or as it is formally known, the Police Advisory and Review Committee).

While local Chattanooga Police unions didn’t engage in a publicity blitz to protest this (CPD being the only agency subject to review under this committee), there was no shortage of input by local activists who had their

own comprehensive plan for how police should be regulated and by whom— right down to paying and staffing the regulators out of the already-stretched police budget. Also, the community activists insisted they—not elected officials—would be the ones to choose the board members.

This, of course, went over like a fart in church but it shows their level of commitment, even if that meant losing any seat at the table because it turns out that dictating absolutes is a horrible bargaining tactic.

Methodology aside though…the idea has merit. Doesn’t it?

The idea of someone overseeing the overseers of the overseers is an undeniably good one. But when one group doesn’t like the outcome of a decision by the overseers overseeing the overseers, the faith placed in them tends to be replaced by anger and a desire to replace or add to them until, presumably, the decisions produced match their desires. This, of course, is where it breaks down because “not liking a decision” is not the same as “being right”.

Currently in most police organizations, internal investigations are conducted when accusations arise. Officers involved have time to review. A disciplinary review board reviews these investigations and makes recommendations which are presented to a chief who, based on these two independent reports, conducts an interview with said officer (or officers) and makes the final decision. Then if officers are fired or suspended they can appeal to the civil service board or equivalent, sometimes a council or commission, or an administrative law judge.

Cops are accused petty things on a

daily basis, usually because their customers are wildly unhappy for having been arrested/ticketed/etc., and it’s a form of revenge or possibly leverage in court. We’re not talking about those types of complaints today, though; we’re talking about those rare events in which half of an otherwise good story is caught on tape, or a whole recording is made of a truly bad one. Good shoot or bad, due process is still due process, and the issue of how to deal with tragic and usually split-second decisions has been wrestled with for decades.

The first citizens’ review board was instituted in Washington D.C. in 1948.

Philadelphia followed suit 10 years later. Now more than 100 cities have established citizen oversight committees, and while all are structured differently, they share consistent problems, including inconsistent discipline, a lack of impartiality, and excessive taxpayer cost (Nashville, for example, made this a $1.5 million new budget item).

Another issue is a lack of law enforcement representation to explain the intricacies of a situation based on professional training the board or committee members have never been exposed to.

(Think of a group of plumbers being tasked with assessing a tragic failure of an electrician.)

On the other hand, sometimes the committees themselves are hamstrung.

Most lack subpoena power, investigatory power, and termination power.

They also lack power to change policies and implement new ones. Sometimes, the chosen members of these committees simply do not represent the diversity of the city in question and especially the communities therein most affected by police violence. In short, they feel (and in fact are) toothless.

In a current illustration, police officers in Phoenix were filmed holding a family of four (a man, a pregnant woman and two tween girls) at gunpoint after investigating them for shoplifting. One of the officers stated that

“

More than 100 cities have established citizen oversight committees, and while all are structured differently, they share consistent problems.”

the family was acting belligerently and that at some point he felt one of the family members was possibly “going for a weapon”, hence the guns. Citizens and activist groups are now calling for the officers to be fired.

To their dismay, however, the city council and the mayor of Phoenix cannot legally fire the officers. That falls to the city manager, and a provision in the city charter prevents the mayor and council from ordering the city manager to fire specific employees, because that would make the initial rule of only the city manager having the power to handle such things moot.

On one hand, a time-intensive and legally required process has to play out. Employees, including “cops”, must be provided notice and the right to be heard. Precipitous action risks the officers winning a suit to get their jobs back, plus damages.

On the other hand, there is strong social and public pressure on leaders to make a quick decision without letting the process play out or recognizing the officers’ right to due process—de-

spite all the explanations and consequences.

Similarly, the establishment of the Nashville oversight board last November was based largely on the 2017 shooting of a young black man who was pulled over for running a stop sign in a project development. After the stop, the young man’s bad luck was compounded when his .357 magnum revolver fall out of his pants. Rather than leave it, he grabbed it and ran between two cars. He was shot twice and ultimately killed for his choices. There is no disputing these events, but people still called for the firing of the officer for apparently not being willing to be shot first “just to be sure.”

When it turned out, however, that it’s within policy to shoot people who pick up magnums during traffic stops and fail to comply with lawful orders, the word of the TBI and the Department of Justice became hollow and protests ensued.

The formation of the oversight board was the compromise the citizens asked for. But what happens when that board

also acknowledges that—to take a Chattanooga example—when someone shoots a cop in the chest and the cop returns fire and his bullet is the one that kills, he is to be exonerated and that this was not a “racially motivated execution”?

If this assessment by a police oversight committee isn’t accepted, what then? Replace the members until you get the desired response, or create yet another committee to oversee the committee overseeing the investigators? Watch the Watchers watching the Watchers who are watching the investigators?

You’re not going to make everyone happy in situations like these. In fact, you may not make even the majority happy, but at some point it needs to be acknowledged that once you put a mechanism of fairness (if not justice) in place, there are going to be circumstances in which you have to accept the decisions of the people you appointed to evaluate decisions. It’s okay.

At first blush, Chattanooga’s police activist group seem to have a poor taste in their mouths because their list of demands wasn’t met fully, but that doesn’t make our city council’s Police Advisory and Review Committee any less real.

Chattanooga can find the right balance, I hope. One where officers won’t hesitate to do their job for fear of being second guessed and thrown to the wolves by people who have no interest in why they felt they had to do what they did on occasion. And one where citizens (yes, activists) can truly feel like they have a seat at the table and that those entrusted to protect them are held accountable when they perceive a tragic mishap.

Observe. Participate. Effect change… but acknowledge that at some point, an answer is still an answer, even if it’s not the one you want—and that applies to both sides of this table.

Stay Safe.

The Ecstasy Of Discipline Carrie Pendergrass on her meticulous method

An Invasion Of Colour If you have ever wanted to experience what it was like to be in Britain during the late sixties and early seventies, then this is the event for you. The Colour Invasion is technically the ribbon cutting of a brandnew mural by local artist Brent Sanders, but the celebration being put on is so much more than that. The event will feature rooftop performances, a London-style double decker bus lounge, and even inflatable waterslides—just to name a few of the many attractions.

The mural at the heart of The Colour Invasion is sure to be incredible and very bright, much like the celebration for it. One of Sanders’ main focuses is “landscapes with an expressive interpretation” that can be seen through his use of exaggerated colors.

His pieces are fascinating to look at, often featuring vibrant skylines with vivid hints of purple hues scatted throughout. Whatever he has in the works for this mural is sure to be an incredible addition to Chattanooga’s public art.

The Colour Invasion takes place at the Granfalloon at 400 E. Main St. This building also hosts Sanders’ studio and gallery, which is definitely worth visiting. The festivities surrounding the mural’s unveiling start at 6 p.m., but after 10 p.m. guests are encouraged to come in all white for a powder paint dance party. This event is all ages, so grab your bell bottoms and fringe jackets and come on out.

“

I realized that art was something that I wanted to pursue. It was just something that I loved and wanted to learn more about.”

C

HATTANOOGA BASED ARTIST CARRIE PENDergrass cleverly combines innovation and discipline in her newest series of experimental painting/prints.

These ecstatic explorations of color, line, rhythm, and form are created using a unique process developed by the artist, emerging from painting and printmaking traditions.

A lifelong artist, Pendergrass has always maintained a career in a creative field, spending years as an art teacher and gallery owner—she is currently the gallery director for H*Art Gallery, a non-profit that provides opportunities to homeless and disabled artists.

She made art throughout her childhood and education. “By the time I got later into high school,” she tells us, “I realized that art was something that I wanted to pursue. It was just something that I loved and wanted to learn more about.”

After receiving a BFA in studio art with a concentration in painting and drawing from UT Knoxville, she sought out creative work environments.

“When I moved back to Chattanooga from Knoxville in 1998, I started working at the Creative Discovery Museum, and taught art classes there for several years. I got some teaching opportunities from that, and went back to school to get a master’s in education and got certified to teach art K–12.”

She taught middle school for a

year and then high school for five years. “It was great, I got to teach photography, which I also love—we did traditional dark room stuff, which was really fun.”

She was considering leaving fulltime teaching and pursuing art when she heard about Project: PopUp, a downtown revitalization effort that was being funded by the River City Company. She was chosen as one of five recipients of a storefront on Chestnut Street, and decided to open a studio/gallery.

“I quit my job at the end of the school year, summer of 2012, and learned how to set up a business in a few months.” The store was called Sewn To The Sky, named after the Smog record and the local fabric art it exhibited.

“I wanted the store to be a studio, and market other people’s handmade goods. I sold a lot of people’s art, handmade things like jewelry, did some art shows there where an artist could have a feature night, sold my own work and made stuff all the time, and met lots of cool people.”

Unfortunately, it was too early for that area to sustain small business— at that time, before the Westin was built, the area of Chestnut St. behind the Read House was off the beaten path. It is quite an achievement that Sewn To The Sky survived for two and

“

I’m using paint, I’m doing it on paper, and I’m transferring shapes and colors and designs—building up layers the way you would a painting. ” a half years, more than a year longer than the other four businesses in the project.

She continued to make art, applied for a job at the H*Art Gallery, and has been there ever since. “I became the gallery director last year, and still teach art on the side through different grant-funded programs, Townsend Atelier, and Chattery.”

In college, Pendergrass’s work was mostly comprised of large figurative paintings. Over the years, her use of materials and processes has changed, but her work has retained a painterly quality—as she says, “I’m a printmaker with the heart of a painter.”

“I’ve always liked printmaking, and I’ve always done linoleum cuts.

I used to make handmade cards for my store, and would use printmaking for that. The gel plate is a new material that I started experimenting with, and discovered that you can do more abstract work.”

Gel plate printing is a printmaking process that employs plates made of gelatin. This clear, rubbery mate-

rial holds the medium differently than a Plexiglas plate, allowing one to achieve a more controlled monotype print.

One of the advantages of gel plates is that paint can be used instead of printer’s ink. “I really like the results; it has kind of a screenprint quality. You can get really bold lines and graphic imagery without having to carve a plate, and everything’s unique.

“I’m using paint, I’m doing it on paper, and I’m transferring shapes and colors and designs—building up layers the way you would a painting, but doing it through printmaking.”

The pieces are nearly impossible to replicate, unlike traditional prints which are easily reproduced. “I’ve always loved painting and printmaking, so it was combining those into a new thing—and that’s what I’ve been doing for the last few years. I keep discovering new ways to make the things I want to make, and I’m never bored with it.”

THE MUSIC SCENE

Punk Group Dives Deep Personal, political loss fuel trio’s musical vibe

Lenox Hills Takes On Chattanooga Lenox Hills band is the next best thing to hear in Chattanooga. It is a group comprised of Kyle Swenson, Packy Mullin, Kameron Dunn, and Luke Mullin, who are all from the greater Chattanooga area. They grew up in the same Cleveland, Tennessee neighborhood (Lenox Hills) and shared a love for music from the start.

Their influences include The Arctic Monkeys, Kings of Leon, and The Black Keys.

When their songs begin you realize how significant these indie rock influences are to their music. They have played most of the venues in the downtown Chattanooga area, ranging from Songbirds to Clyde’s and smaller coffee shops.

The crowds at their shows start singing along and dancing from the moment Lenox Hills hits the stage until well after they are gone. They perform classics everyone loves and play their own songs as well. Their songs are often catchy tunes with unique beats and it’s easy to feel the indie vibe they incorporate.

Don’t miss your opportunity to see the next best band from our area. This weekend Lenox Hills will be playing at WanderLinger Brewing Company on Friday night at 8 p.m.

Grab some friends, drink a local beer, and spend some time with Lenox Hills.

I

N CHATTANOOGA’S EXTENDED PUNK FAMILY, scenes and cities in states across the nation, from Florida to Ohio to California, could practically be considered siblings, and Bloomington, Indiana is home to several Chattanooga allies including Let’s Pretend Records and the power punk-pop trio Evening Standards.

The band, which features the couple Chris Mott (guitar/vocals) and Daun (bass/vocals) plus drummer Cole Champion (also of the Chattanooga group Future Virgins), recently unleashed its potent second album World’s End on Let’s Pretend Records, an album which is darker and even more rousing and ardent than the debut. The members answered some questions in advance of the trio’s Saturday show at Sluggo’s Vegan Cafe.

The Pulse: You’ve mentioned that the new album came from experi-

encing death and loss. Is its heavier sound a direct reflection of this? How did the songwriting process work?

Daun: The heavier sound is a reflection of heavier times. Music always helps. I realized how important it is to just play and practice and be together every week. Honestly, weekly practice felt like an anchor during some pretty rough personal times losing people and animals I loved.

I learned to sink into the bass lines a little more and ground the sound, letting my body be an anchor for the songs. Songwriting wise, Chris wrote

lyrics and riffs and brought them to us, and since the three of us already had an album under our collective belt, this one felt easier, louder, and more free in a way.

TP: The new album’s title track is pretty intense, with lyrics like “I wanna see you go down in flames.” Is this purely a personal album, or are there any social or political reflections on it?

Daun: The song is political as f---. Yes, it’s coming from personal experience, but at this time under the racist, sexist, homophobic American regime, our lives are political and this is a song of outrage and an album of radical hope. It’s about experiencing the privilege of non-action and experiencing the shame and motivation that follow. It’s about the real power of love. The song and the album is cathartic to sing, and I hope it empowers others to take action in their own lives and in their own communities, and reach out to each other.

Chris: It’s our duty as artists to comment on the shithole president. I don’t think it’s necessarily the world’s end literally, but hopefully we’ll learn a lesson from this presidency, get a

“

I feel overwhelmed with joy to see and hear others getting some kind of inspiration or hope from our songs in spite of (or due to) how shadowy the songs are.” woman in power, and realize that the people in power haven’t had the common folks in mind.

TP: How did the idea for the band come together?

Daun: The idea probably came about a long time ago since we’ve been buds for so long, but manifested because Cole moved to Indiana. When Chris and I decided to start another band, Cole was not the only option for a drummer, but he was our only choice. We just hoped he’d be into it, so we put a beer in his hand at a party and asked nicely.

Cole: I feel like we all hit it off right away, and throughout the years our other bands all played shows together, toured together, and stayed at each other’s houses. I moved to Indiana with my family, just down the street from Chris and Daun, and they asked me to play. I was really excited, because I loved all their

other bands, but at the same time it all felt really natural, because we are old friends with a lot of history.

TP: What’s your favorite audience reaction at a show?

Daun: My favorite thing to see is people singing the words to the songs at our shows. I’m always completely grateful for and surprised by that. I feel overwhelmed with joy to see and hear others getting some kind of inspiration or hope from our songs in spite of (or due to) how shadowy the songs are.

It’s interesting because I’ve already gone through the process of getting major, deep healing from these songs through practicing, recording and playing, and for me that’s satisfying enough. But when I see other people affected in some way by our work, getting inspired, getting hopeful, it’s like the real magick is happening.

Classic Arcade Pinball Museum I

Come for history, culture, engineering—and pure pleasure

t takes a minute for your eyes to adjust to the dim interior. Then you hear it—the clicks, thumps, buzzers, and bells of the dozens of pinball machines and vintage electronic games lining the walls of Chattanooga’s Classic Arcade Pinball Museum.

As your eyes adjust you start to see the polished surfaces of the old wood-rail machines, the lurid red demon gracing the Gorgar machine, the flashing LED displays and monitors on the newer games. Depending on the time of day, you may see young hipsters or elderly aficionados hunkered over the games; you’re sure to see children of all ages playing eagerly, some on tiptoe and oohing with excitement.

By then, the friendly attendant has slapped a band around your wrist— that’s right, you pay once and get to play all day, even if you step outside and return. Since there’s no pressure, you can take your time and explore the history of pinball even as you try out a few exhibits. Read the antique signs on some of the pinball machines warning minors away.

That’s because pinball used to be highly suspect as a gambling tool; indeed, one old wood-rail machine up front was actually a payout machine, dispensing nickels like a slot machine. Pinball was banned in many major cities for years.

Now, though, pinball has lost its sinister panache and become something else entirely: an engineer’s playground, a cultural historian’s

dream, and a child’s favorite Saturday afternoon. Whatever your pleasure, the science, the cultural history, or the thrill of the games snapping and vibrating under your fingertips, you’ll find something to love at Classic Arcade.

As you walk through the museum, you’ll find yourself starting in the first half of the 20th century and moving forward in time. The older wood-rail machines have basic electromechanical controls and no electronic components; sounds are generated by bells and chimes, while gear-driven score reels track points.

As you wander deeper, you can find solid-state games that use electronic technology to track and display scores.

Displays advance from dot matrix to monitors—even complex setups with monitors and mirrors, giving the illusion that the ball in play can disappear into the screen display.

The art advances, too, from simple wood inlay and paintings to exaggerated silver-era comic art to photorealism-style designs. The experience becomes more intense—Gorgar features a heartbeat that gets faster as the score rises, while the enormous Hercules game (restricted to one play per cus-

tomer to keep its delicate innards in working order) uses a pool ball and (for smaller players) one person on each side to man the flippers. The most recent games use multi-level ball tracks, hidden doors, video displays, and even after-market plastic action figures to engage every sense.

The arcade games are excellent, too, though perhaps less exotic— imagine spending as many hours as you like at Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, or Street Fighter, without having to fish in your pocket for quarters.

It’s no wonder manager Walt Schaffeld, a graphic design enthusiast, comes early to play 1999’s Revenge from Mars, or technician and co-owner Dave Alverson waxes enthusiastic about the principles of physics that animate the games.

Never played pinball before?

“There’s a whole world under the glass,” as Walt says. “Most people have played games on a phone or home console, missing out the tactile experience of feeling the ball bounce around the pins or shaking and nudging the machine to change

the dynamic a bit.”

Aficionados, meanwhile, can savor a collection that goes back years, including rare machines, meticulously maintained, and enjoy a chat with knowledgeable staff.

You can visit the Classic Arcade at 409 Broad Street (across from Lupi’s) Wednesday–Thursday and Sunday 1–9 p.m., Friday–Saturday 1–10 p.m. A bustling Friday night is always fun, but if you’re a real pinball fan, I recommend coming during a rainy afternoon in hopes of finding Walt or Dave and having some deep conversation about the history and mechanics of these gems. Heck, you might even persuade them to let you peek under the hood of one of the games undergoing renovation.

You’re also encouraged to reach out about scheduling private events.

Anything from a birthday party to a bachelor/ette party is welcome, and large groups get a 15 percent discount. Reach the Classic Arcade at chattanoogapinballmuseum.com or facebook.com/ChattanoogaPinballMuseum

FILM & TELEVISION

Finding Family From Afar The Crest is a story of an unsung diaspora

The Importance of Being Earnest “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” — Oscar Wilde Aside from being eminently quotable, Oscar Wilde’s legacy is vital both in terms of his rapier wit as well as his martyrdom.

As part of LGBTQ History Month, the Heritage House Arts & Civic Center proudly presents one of the most important films recognizing the culture and contributions of the LGBTQ community to the world this Thursday evening at 7 p.m.

In this premiere film adaptation of Wilde’s comic masterpiece of mistaken identity, The Importance of Being Earnest, Michael Redgrave plays Jack and Michael Denison is Algernon.

When Algernon discovers that his friend, Ernest, has created a fictional brother for whenever he needs a reason to “escape dull country life”, Algernon poses as the brother, resulting in ever increasing confusion.

Also starring Margaret Rutherford as Miss Prism and written/directed/produced by famed British director Anthony Asquith, this 1952 release is regarded as the definitive version of Oscar Wilde’s play and the greatest of all drawing room comedies.

The film was nominated for the Golden Lion (Leone d’Oro) at the 1952 Venice Film Festival—the award usually being given to the best film screened in competition at the festival.

The country itself is a mixture of these influences, a hodgepodge of faiths, culture, and family, intermingling and learning from each other.”

I

T’S HARD TO IMAGINE THIS NATION WITHOUT immigrants. Impossible, even, given our history. That there are entire groups of people in this country who believe only in a white, Christian America is baffling. That these groups of people appear to control the majority of the government is terrifying.

There is an incredible amount of diversity in between the coasts. This diversity is made of stories, stories from far away, stories told and retold, generation after generation, creating a nation proud of their heritage, no matter where it might lie. The country itself is a mixture of these influences, a hodgepodge of faiths, culture, and family, intermingling and learning from each other.

There’s no reason it should work—we are more than aware of

those who try to divide us based on fear of the other—but it does, for a very simple reason. Humans are naturally curious and open, if given the chance. When that openness is encouraged, it allows us to hear each other, to listen to the stories and be shaped by the experience.

A few years ago The Crest, a documentary by Mark Covino, was featured at the Chattanooga Film Festival and is available on VOD. It is one of those stories that allows us

to hear each other.

The Crest is, at least partially, a story about two young men, Dennis Kane and Andrew Jacob. They live on opposite coasts, one in southern California, one in New England, but share a similar love of surfing. They also share a story, passed down by their mothers.

They are descendants of An Ri, a man known as the King of the Blasket Islands.

For those unfamiliar, the Blasket Islands are a small group of islands off the west coast of Ireland that are now uninhabited, but were previously home to a small group of Irish-speaking natives.

The islands are largely isolated, often inaccessible by sea.

But a small group of men and women made them their home.

Small is a relative term, of course, but reportedly the largest population at any given time was around 175 people. And yet, you can find hundreds of descendants of Blasket islanders around the world, many in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Which leads us back to Dennis and Andrew, cousins removed from each other by time and distance, with a peculiar love of the sea and similar expression for it. Through a series of coincidences involving a fiddle left behind in a pub long

Director Mark Covino has a knack for finding stories like The Crest. His previous film, A Band Called Death, had a similar focus on family and how things can be both lost and rediscovered in profound and powerful ways. The Crest isn’t quite as strong a story as A Band Called Death, but it is interesting in its own way.

The culture of the Blaskets, particularly in regard to the writers they produced and their influence on Irish literature, is not something I was aware of previously. I found myself more interested in the history surrounding the Blaskets, and wanting to know more about the culture, particularly the role of the king himself, An Ri. (It seems he was more of an elder than a monarch, exactly. One of his duties was to deliver the mail).

✴ NEW IN THEATERS ✴

Still, it’s hard not to feel emotional watching Dennis and Andrew surf the waves of their ancestral home, bringing a piece of themselves to the lifeblood of those who came before.

One of the interesting reflections The Crest brought out, at least for me, is the richness of immigration and the fusion of cultures within the United States. Dennis and Andrew are overwhelmingly American, but they maintain their Irish heritage through the stories that are passed down, as well as their own connection to the ocean.

But then, their love of the ocean reveals itself through surfing, a sport with a distinctly Polynesian history, very far removed from the deep green hills and grey skies of Ireland.

There’s a beauty in that. A mystery. A marriage of circumstance and openness. The Crest prompts such thoughts, which is exactly what a documentary should do.

Build Your Community—Eat Local Plus, our globetrotting chef dishes on corporate food

E Mike McJunkin Pulse columnist

“

It’s time for the ‘buy local’ movement to expand its message beyond just the ingredients that are used to make our food to include the businesses and people who feed us when we aren’t cooking for ourselves.”

AT LOCAL. WE’VE BEEN HEARing that mantra shouted from every mountaintop, farmers market, and Volvo bumper in the region for years and we’ve all noticed the increase in local markets offering up the bounty of the fertile Tennessee Valley.

The “eat local” movement has managed to focus much needed attention on the benefits of buying ingredients from our local farmers and producers, and has made the term “local” a beacon for shoppers looking to make tasty, responsible decisions when buying food for themselves and their families.

But when it comes to food, it’s time for the “buy local” movement to expand its message beyond just the ingredients that are used to make our food to include the businesses and people who feed us when we aren’t cooking for ourselves. It’s time for Chattanoogans to stand up and fully support the locally owned and operated restaurants that are working hard to make our local food scene one of the best in the Southeast.

It shouldn’t be a difficult decision for any of us living in the Chattanooga area to choose a locally owned restaurant over a chain or franchise, because most chain restaurants are terrible. I should know—I worked in that industry for over a decade, toiling along as a cog in the corporate wheel that brought about a half-dozen of the big chain restaurants to the city. I’ve seen first-hand how their food is made, how their employees are treated, where their food and supplies are bought, and where the money they make goes—and none of it is good news for Chattanooga or its residents.

But rather than spend the next five hundred words explaining the obvious (how the food in chain restaurants is grossly over portioned, has enough salt to attract herds of deer, and enough sugar and fat to make your FitBit burst into flames; how the chains treat employ-

ees like capital instead of like human beings, cater to the lowest common food denominators, and take resources from the community disproportionate to what they return)—let me focus on why you should choose local restaurants over these palate-numbing invaders.

First, the food is better. You may be thinking, “But I love Olive Garden’s fettuccini alfredo and Hardees chicken biscuits!” and you have every right to like whatever you want to like. But let’s be honest, just because something has been engineered to trigger a positive response from your taste buds doesn’t mean it’s quality food.

Many chain restaurants get all their food from a central source, so it’s traveled far and lost freshness before it gets to you and many chain restaurants utilize premade food that the “cooks” simply reheat and plate. (Making biscuits from a mix is not “from scratch”, and opening a packet of sauce mix is not how you make a good alfredo.)

Second, locally owned businesses recirculate a much larger share of their revenue back into the local economy, enriching the whole community. (On average, for every $100 you spend at a local restaurant, $68 will stay in the community as compared to $14 for a chain).

Surely I don’t need to explain why you should spend your money at restaurants that invest it back into the community where you live, work, and take advantage of its resources.

Eating in local restaurants will, in turn, have a multiplier effect, producing more local eateries with more variety, encouraging healthy competition, creating in-

centives that add to the local character and prosperity of the city, and creating more jobs locally, which lead to better wages and benefits than chains are currently willing to provide. Want to keep the “American Dream” alive and truly make America great? Support local restaurants that are putting money directly back into our own community. You’ll be funding great ideas and ventures that can only exist outside of homogenous, mainstream, corporate chains.

Finally, local restaurants offer an experience that mainstream chains can never provide, no matter what their slick commercials promise. Regardless of how hard you try to turn their defrosted salt/ sugar bombs into a pleasurable dining experiences, a meal from a chain restaurant that’s been carefully designed to be ordered, cooked, served, and eaten in less than an hour has very little wiggle room for enjoyment—they want to fill you full of calories and turn that table.

To maximize your dining enjoyment, the simplest solution is to eat local. Dine where you can eat seasonal food, purchased close to where it was produced, from someone you know and can talk to.

It’s the right thing you can do and the most delicious way to do it.
