This is a far cry from the Ritz but it is the same business miraculously 90 years later”

Buttered popcorn, fizzing Cokes, and smuggled Mike & Ikes are currently filling bellies of movie-buffs as they recline back into plush leather seats in Brunswick’s newest attraction. On Thursday, April 2, the Georgia Theatre Company unveiled the Georgia Theatre Xtreme (GTX) in celebratory fashion. An expansion of the current GTC offerings at the Glynn Place Mall, GTX opened up its doors to guests who poured into the new parking lot adjacent to the pre-existing Embassy Suites. They Bill Stembler, chairman and chief executive of the Georgia Theatre Company, his wife Anne Stembler, Bess Chambliss and her daughters Kimbrough, Ellie, and Anderson pose with the Mascot, Captain Jack on Thursday’s grand opening.

Rock For Lupus Ashton Rowland Staff Writer
Everyone has a story, and everyone has their own struggles. However, not everyone is courageous enough to share or embrace that story. Alex Irvin is a freshman at the College of Coastal Georgia and his sister suffers from an autoimmune disease known as Lupus. There are 1.5 million Americans that are affected by Lupus. Studies show that Lupus is the leading cause of premature cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and stroke among young women. Symptoms include: swollen joints, anemia, extreme fatigue, and high fevers. Inspired by his sister’s adversity, Irvin sought out to make a difference in the local community with the aid of Overboard Entertainment. Turning the idea of community involvement into a reality by presenting the event known as “Rock for Lupus.” Rock for Lupus is a fundraiser benefit concert that is open to the entire community. There will be live music from several local artists. A water balloon fight and several giveaways that have been donated by businesses throughout the Glynn County community will be included as well. The entry fee is $5, and all proceeds will go to the Lupus Foundation of America. The event will be held on Friday, April 10 from 2-7 PM, taking place on the CCGA Campus Center terrace. Come out for good people, great music, and support an even greater cause at Rock for Lupus. Pages designed by: Alvin Fernando

got talent? Ashton Rowland
April 2015
On March 27, 10 College of Coastal Georgia’s students came together at the Historic Ritz Theatre to showcase their unique talents. Hosted by Overboard Entertainment, this showcase of talents is an annual event known as Coastal’s Got Talent. I was a part of this group of students that performed. Being a contestant, I can honestly say that it was truly an entertaining and worthwhile experience. However, the road to the stage was far from a breeze. From the moment I signed up for the performance to the moment the bright lights shone upon me, I faced a wave of nerves, indecision, and procrastination. I signed up for Coastal’s Got Talent about a month prior to the actual performance. Being a guitarist, it was obvious that I was going to play guitar, but I had no idea what song I was actually going to play. To be completely honest, it was not until the week of the performance that I started getting serious about coming up with a performance piece. I tried several different original riffs, but I was never satisfied with myself. The day before the performance, I had the idea to have a kick drum with me in order to make the performance more enjoyable for the audience. In the end, I decided to play an improvisation with hopes that it would not sound too bad. When the big day came, I made my way to the Historic Ritz Theatre in downtown Brunswick. As contestants waited outside of the locked doors of the Ritz, I was able to talk with several fellow Mariners that would be showcasing their talents. Everyone was nice and genuinely psyched up. It was reassuring to know that everyone was there for the love of performing. During sound checks, the nerves finally kicked in, but I managed to make it. As silly as it may sound, all I could think about were the Eminem lyrics, “His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy. There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti.” While listening to each of the fellow performers give a taste of their performance, I slowly calmed down because I knew that it was going to be a good night. Finally, the moment came and the seats of the theater began to fill. From soulful singers, to stand-up comedians, there was not a dull moment. That is the power of the stage. The spotlight will change a person. I sat in awe as a passionate rapper, William Mitchell, spit fiery lyrics over an intricate beat. I laughed as a brutally honest comedian, Henry Moreland, told hilarious stories that actually happened in his life. When my time arrived, I sweat with adrenaline as I played the improvised notes that would add up to be a five-minute performance. Performing is such a breathtaking feeling that encapsulates all of the human emotions into one setting. All of the CCGA students that performed at Coastal’s Got Talent gave every ounce of passion into their performances. In the end, that is what it’s all about.

Cover Story g t x : Co n t. f r o m F r o n t were quickly greeted with a sense of nostalgia as songs from popular films were performed by Brunswick High School’s Band. Attendees at the invitation-only event enjoyed free popcorn, refreshments, and lunch provided by The Copper Pig, a nearby barbe-que restaurant that opened last year. Bo Chambliss, president of St. Simons Island-based Georgia Theatre Company, said intial timelines called for a GTX opening in the summer of 2014 but delays forced the project to break ground in May of 2014. Regardless of the late completion of the entertainment complex, Chambliss was thrilled to see the opening of the GTX Theatre and expansion which connects the three new theatres to the existing 11-theatre complex. “My grandfather used to come down here (to Glynn County) at the turn of the (20th) century and vacation with his father. Somewhere in the 1920’s he and Arthur Lucas built the first theatre. This is a far cry from the Ritz but it is the same business miraculously 90 years later,” said Bill Stembler, President and Chief Executive Officer of Georgia Theatre Company. “I have a long affinity for The Golden Isles and this part of the state”, Stembler professed; informing the crowd he came to the area as a 6-month-old.

Cover Story The investment of The Georgia Theatre Company into the community was praised as County Commissioner Bill Brunson spoke to the packed lobby. “It is going to be a magnet! You’re going to have folks that come from all over Southeast Georgia and they’re not only going to buy our popcorn, they’re going to dine in our restaurants, and buy stuff from our stores, and that’s going to make our community a better place,” Brunson said. The new addition features large format digital presentation, bigger screens, better sound and plush seating for the definitive enjoyment of all audiences. The main GTX Theatre comes in with a whopping 80 feet wide, and 40 feet high screen and Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound. In addition to improving the panning of sounds and sound localization, the new sound system improves audio definition, so you can clearly hear individual sounds. The surround sound also bumps up the range of the listening “sweet spot” – which adds better sound to more seats rather than just in the center of the theatre. Each of the new three theatres are furnished with cloud-like, black leather chairs and generously wide landings so you don’t have to stick your butt or crotch in other movie-goers faces when entering or exiting the aisle,

no matter where your seat is. Speaking of rumps, Stembler confessed at the opening day’s speech, “One of our Vice Presidents used to say we were trying to figure out what to cover the seats in at the new theatre, and then he figured it out, he said he wanted to cover it with Glynn-County fannies.” One of the more notable differences aside from the actual movie watching experience is the new way patrons purchase movie tickets. “You have two options, where you can come in and buy your tickets directly at the concessions or from kiosks that are located at the front door,” said Chambliss enthusiastically. Before the opening day’s screenings of movies in the GTX, Stembler, Chambliss, and Brunson all participated in the cutting of the film outside of the theater to finalize and celebrate the opening. “It’s kind of a tradition but rather than cutting a ribbon we cut film. This theater will have no film in it, it is all digital. It’s just for oldtime’s sake.” For more information on the Georgia Theater Company and GTX, please visit http://georgiatheatrecompany.com/glynn11.aspx.

and its slothful authorship
OH MY GOD. MAYBE THERE ARE PICTURES OF BABY SLOTHS!
Writing an article isn’t an easy task; it’s actually quite complex. First, you must think of a relevant topic. You really want to find something that you’re passionate about. Keep in mind that others should feel as passionate about the issue as well, or you must prompt them to care. Next, pour your heart into words that elaborately illustrate your thoughts. Then, try to find as much evidence as you can to support all that you have stated. Finally, you hope someone cares enough to read what you have written. Buzzfeed skips the first three steps every, single, time. On the website’s Current Trending Articles section, there are numerous pieces. Some of my favorite titles included: “We Know How Many People You’ve Had Sex With”, “15 Early ’00s Trends That Are Coming Back For Some Strange Reason”, and “21 Women Explain What Having Your Period Feels Like,” among others. Though we communicate through a global network on the web, the Internet culture is becoming increasingly more Westernized. There is an enormous emphasis

on sex and scandal. Remember Kim Kardashian “breaking the internet”? Buzzfeed is capitalizing on this culture-shift. Look back to those titles listed in the Trending Articles section. Do you really want to participate in an algorithm based survey that tries to take a stab at how many sexual partners you’ve had? Do you really want to read comparisons of menstruation? Buzzfeed is making a profit by providing dull thoughts to an extremely lazy readership. Half of the articles are almost entirely composed of images and even more of the articles are listed in one sentence bullets! It’s an authorship travesty. Now I do not wish to entirely discredit Buzzfeed’s purpose. Occasionally the media company publishes interesting, enlightening articles (“17 Surprising Foods You Can Cook in a Waffle Iron”), but for the most part their articles are fitting for a quick, late night read. There’s just so many more ways to engage your mind than to flip through “15 Reasons Why Taylor Swift Might Be A Cat.”

THE THRILL OF THE HUNT Editor in Chief Drew Miller
Mariner Larissa Berg has spearheaded bringing the movement of Free Art Friday to the Golden Isles in an effort to raise artistic awareness in the local community. Free Art Friday is a concept that originated in Atlanta and other major metropolitan areas across the world. “When I lived in Atlanta, hunting for free art by local artists every Friday was always such a fun concept,” Berg said. “I felt that it would be a beneficial project to bring to Brunswick and Saint Simons.” Founded in the Atlanta Arts community in 2010, Free Art Friday is a weekly gifting scavenger hunt where artists hide their creations throughout a city’s landscape with the
intention of having locals find the pieces. These pieces come from a wide range of styles; paintings, photographs, pottery, jewelry, anything considered art. The art movement is growing exponentially. The FAFATL Twitter page has 2,791 followers to date, and reports of FAF are popping up not only across the nation, but internationally as well. The intent of bringing the movement to Brunswick is to create a better sense of community and inspire artists and aspiring artists to come out of the woodwork. Berg added, “Free Art Friday is a pretty awesome movement because it gives the community a chance to speak to one another through art.”

The Rules Are Simple: • Create something. It could be a drawing, painting, poetry, jewerly, sculpture whatever. • Take this piece of art and hide it somewhere indoors or outdoors on a Friday. • Tag and leave a note on the piece of art; photograph the art in its hidden location. (Get creative with the photo, it doesn’t have to be a blatant representation of
where the art is hidden. Treat it like an Easter Egg hunt.) • Upload this photo to your preferred platform of social media including but not limited to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat. Hashtag your picture with #FAFSTSIMONS or #FAFBRUNSWICK. • Let the games begin. Anybody can participate. This means YOU!

Seaswells CAMPUS Releases RECYCLING Magazine Lifestyle
Drew C Miller Editor in Chief
According to the College of Coastal Georgia’s Sustainability internet page (wait, we have an internet page about campus sustainability?) “Recycling is an important obligation for each of us as students, community leaders and stewards of the environment.” I could not agree more. However, take a look at any waste bin and compare it to the blue recycle bin in any of your classes. It becomes evident that most of us either do not know how to, or do not care about recycling. We all know what the recycling symbol is. Most of the blue bins found in the hallways and elsewhere on campus are explicitly marked with what can go in them. Blue bins in classrooms take most paper products including white and colored paper, windowed and nonwindowed envelopes, heavy stock

paper, newspapers and magazines. Black or grey bins take everything else. Recycling 1 ton of paper saves 17 trees (or 7,000 gallons of water, or 2 barrels of oil), and every 18 newspapers recycled saves one tree, according to a pamphlet put together by CCGA. CCGA uses a single stream recycling system, meaning; all recyclables are put together and transported to a recycling center for purposes of separation. All it takes to help CCGA’s effort to become more sustainable and efficient in its effort to become more eco-friendly is a simple matter of where you drop your trash.
It’s that time of the year again…. On April 30, at 12:30 p.m. free copies of Seaswells 2015 Literary Magazine will be handed out in the Campus Center Terrace. Seaswells is the College of Coastal Georgia’s arts magazine that exhibits the various artistic talents of Mariners; from prose, to photography, and other mediums. “This is the 49th year in the college’s history that we were able to bring students the opportunity to be seen and heard,” said Jessica Ahl, Seaswells editor. The publication is proud to give the students a chance to demonstrate their talents, and to have their works of art printed in an anthology that echoes through CCGA’s history. Winners of the various Seaswells Art Contests will be announced at the event and will be rewarded with a cash prize for
their excellent entries. As a contributor of Seaswells, I can attest that few opportunities on campus are more exciting than being a part of the Seaswells staff. It has been an honor to be able to help put together this amazing magazine for all to see. Furthermore, we would like to congratulate all contributors, winners, and judges of this years contest. Didn’t make the cut or miss the submission date? Keep in mind that you can submit soon for next year’s annual magazine. We hope to see you on Thursday, April 30 in support of the artistic endeavors of fellow Mariners.

Tennis Conference Tourney Approaches C. Garrett Dutton Sports Editor Photography by Drew Miller Coastal Georgia Men’s and Women’s tennis programs picked up where they left off after the 2014 season and neither have looked back. Both teams have posted 8-5 records overall, with the men posting a 7-2 record and the women going 7-3 in the Southern States Athletic Conference play. The Mariners’ tennis teams are coming off excellent performances including wins
Pages designed by: Alvin Fernando
over non-conference opponent Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, which defeated the Coastal men earlier this season. In the April 3 event at Marta Torrey Tennis Complex, which also played host to the celebration of Senior-Day, the women of Coastal trounced ABAC for the second time 7-2, as the men redeemed themselves with a 5-4 victory.
After the win, Coach Kemper Baker said the team is gearing up for the post season. “Both teams need to continue to improve their doubles play in order to be successful in the post season,” said Baker. “The players need to improve every day and focus on doing things correctly. If we can do that, the results tend to come.” The Mariner serve up their final regular
season matches April 10 in Savannah against SCAD, the 22nd-ranked team in the nation. Baker said the non-conference match will be a test for his teams and to prepare his player for the upcoming SSAC tournament, which begins April, 17, in Mobile, Ala.

Men’s Golf Looks Offseason to Repeat Begins for
April 2015

C. Garrett Dutton Sports Editor
Could it be? Is it possible to happen two years in a row? Can the College of Coastal Georgia Men’s golf team repeat as NAIA National Champions? Even though these thoughts of back-toback titles are sure to be going through the minds of fans and supporters, the Mariners are taking it one hole at a time. “I’m not thinking about the national championship at all right now,” said fifthyear head coach Mike Cook. “We have to focus on one thing at a time and right now we are focused on the conference tournament ahead.” The Mariners recently sunk their last putts of the regular season during the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletic Golf Week. In the two-day tournament, which took place April 5-6 at the Mission Inn Golf and Tennis Resort, the Mariners proved that they are ready for the upcoming Southern States Athletic Conference tournament as the men claimed a first place victory by a margin of 21
strokes. The women of Coastal Georgia’s golf program have also had recent success in SSAC play. Back on March 30 and 31, the Mariners claimed first in the Golden Tiger Spring Invitational hosted by Brenau University. In the contest, senior Sarah Gillard seized her third individual win this season and the seventh of her career. Gillard was joined on the leaderboard by Madison Mannging, who finished third. Their stellar play led the Mariners to the team title in the tournament. On the Chicopee Woods Golf Course, the Mariners finished with a 667 overall total to win the 36-hole event by 12 shots over Southeastern which shot a two-day 679 score. Both the Men’s and Women’s SSAC Championship will be held in Montgomery, Ala. The three-day men’s tourney begins April 13 and while the women’s two-day tournament starts on April 18.

Mariners
The Men’s and Women’s basketball teams of the College of Coastal Georgia have played the last contest of their 201415 campaign. The Men’s team finally took place back on Febuary 28 at Middle Georgia State College. An event the Mariners lost 92-81 further eliminating their hopes of making the Southern States Athletic Conference tournament. The men leave behind a rough 4-25 overall record and went 2-16 against SSAC opponents. The Mariners are now looking forward, and with this season in the past, Jesse Watkins first year as a head coach the men’s basketball program is optimistic about this rebuilding stage. The women’s Coastal Georgia basketball program also ushered in a new era this past season with their first year head coach Jonathon Barbaree. Barbaree lead the Mariners to a respectable 13-16 record; going 7-10 in their conference during the regular season to route the Mariners to a SSAC tournament appearance. The Mariners went on to lose in the openinground of their league tourney 67-60 against Faulkner University. Even though the season is over Barbaree claims his expectations haven’t changed. “I expect us to continue to grow as
C. Garrett Dutton Sports Editor
players and a team,” he said. “During the offseason we will get stronger, better defensively, and work on finishing around the basket.” As the Mariners say goodbye to the 201415 season, there are high hopes of what is to come from the emerging basketball programs here at Coastal Georgia, they must also say goodbye to their seniors. The men take a tough blow losing the fan favorite, record-setting, senior Reggie Burke. Burke finished his fourth year as a Mariner with 422 total points in 26 games, pushing his recored career total to 1,726 points and a 15.0 per game scoring average. Burke plans to finish his degree at Coastal by next fall the he hopes to either sign with a pro team or fulfill his dream of coaching basketball. The women’s program says goodbye to their hometown favorite, senior Olivia Melvin. Melvin also known as “Toots,” led the Mariners in scoring the past season averaging 13 points per game, and was named to the all-conference first-team for the second straight year. Toots posts alltime records in almost every category: points (1,431), assists (286), three-point field goals (153), steals (232), and several others.
