If you’re one of the few who haven’t yet voted, you’re in luck. Here’s a handy guide to what you’ll find on the ballot and how one local newspaper publisher plans to vote, as if you care.

THIS WEEK’S ISSUE: News & Features City Dope . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 Athens News and Views

Looking further into SPLOST and endorsements in the mayoral race.

Athens Rising . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 What’s Up in New Development

The only way really to move Athens forward is to resolve underlying issues.

SPLOST—Just like all the others, this SPLOST is filled with projects and programs to make Athens more livable and more competitive economically. The jail has been thoroughly studied and adjusted, this SPLOST has been through the same process of citizen involvement and ACC Commission approval as all the others, and it is funded by the same sales-tax penny that for 20 years has allowed our neighbors, students and visitors to help us build up Athens. Vote Yes! Mayor—Gwen O’Looney is smart, tough and experienced, with the vision and preparation to lead Athens at this critical juncture. Vote Gwen!

District 1 Commission—Doug Lowry, though sometimes erratic, has a lot to contribute. Vote Doug!

District 3 Commission—George Maxwell knows his district and its needs and knows how to represent its people. Vote George!

District 5 Commission—Jared Bailey knows Athens through his long involvement in business, culture and community-building endeavors.

Vote Jared!

District 5 Board of Education—Jill M. Lenoci-Caudill gets the nod here based on her willingness to work to improve education and her knowledge of the needs of her district. Vote Jill!

District 7 Board of Education—Carol Williams is clearly the most experienced and best qualified. Vote Carol!

Judge, Superior Court—David Sweat is everything you’d want in a judge: fair, intelligent, involved in his community. Vote Sweat!

U.S. Senate—Michael Thurmond hasn’t mounted much of a campaign and isn’t likely to put a dent in Johnny Isakson, but boy would he make a great senator for Georgia. I like Mike!

Governor—Roy Barnes has the experience, the vision and the political smarts to actually do something about our state’s many problems. Big Deal, you say? I say, Vote Barnes!

Lieutenant Governor—Carol Porter is a bright business manager who would bring a breath of fresh air to the Lt. Governor’s office. Vote Carol!

Secretary of State—This office has been too much politicized by the incumbent and his predecessors. Vote Sinkfield!

Attorney General—Ken Hodges is a prosecutor with courtroom experience who can see the whole picture. His opponent is not. Vote Hodges!

Commissioner of Agriculture—I’m voting for Powell because he is a Democrat. Vote Powell!

Commissioner of Insurance—Mary Squires is not Ralph Hudgens. Vote Squires!

State School Superintendent—Electing Joe Martin will signal that Georgia is finally beginning to take our public schools seriously. Vote Joe! Commissioner of Labor—A Republican commissioner of labor is like a fish on a bicycle. Vote Hicks!

Public Service Commissioner—Keith Moffett, because he’s a Democrat and he’s not a conservative Republican operative. Vote Keith!

U.S. Congress 10th District—Russell Edwards, the young educator turned budding attorney, offers us a clear choice between sanity and madness. Vote Edwards!

State Senator District 47—Tim Riley has been running as if he is a Republican, but he is a Democrat, the only reason to vote for him. Vote Riley.

State House District 113—Her opponent will know more about state budgeting and finance than anybody over there, but she’s bright and articulate and a Democrat. Vote Suzy Compere.

Justice, Supreme Court of Georgia—Hah, hah! How are we qualified to pick Supreme Court justices? LOL. Anyway, I solicited the opinions of attorneys I respect, and the consensus seems to be Matt Wilson. For what it’s worth, vote Wilson.

Judge, Court of Appeals of Georgia—The same highly sophisticated process leads me to recommend Antoinette “Tony” Davis. Vote Davis.

Amendment 1—In the brave new world of the Georgia legislature, bad means good, up means down and competitive means monopoly. Vote NO! Amendment 2—They are allowing us to call it not-a-tax by tacking on $10 to our car tag fees for much-needed trauma care. Whatever. Vote Yes. Amendment 3—Pay as you go will help fund more road projects. Vote Yes. Amendment 4—Pay as you go, and pay the contractors out of the energy savings that accrue. Vote Yes. Amendment 5—Pertains to Chatham County and DeKalb County. I’m leaving it blank.

Statewide Referendum—No ad valorem tax on inventory when we need every tax dollar we can get? I’m voting No. Special Elections Athens-Clarke County Georgia—Both of these allow people living in homes they got through the Athens Land Trust on 99-year leases to claim homestead exemptions. Vote Yes and Yes.

letters EX-COMMISH FOR O’LOONEY For too many years, far too many decisions have been made by too few individuals, with too little information and public discussion, and for far too much money. I know too well of what I speak, and real changes are needed.

Gwen O’Looney understands that the public interest, budgets and expenditures of tax dollars are not well served by top-down bureaucratic control and exclusionary deliberation.

As an outstanding former mayor, Gwen is the only candidate with the knowledge, experience and fortitude to provide the leadership the commission so desperately needs, to facilitate public involvement and to redress the balance of interests and authority envisioned by the consolidation charter.

SPLOST IS ESSENTIAL Here’s what Clarke County residents WON’T get with a NO vote on SPLOST: new library books, safer streets, County Extension services, bridge repairs, new fire station facilities, more humane conditions for prison inmates, safer conditions for prison staff, recycling facilities, sidewalks, bigger conventions bringing in more visitors to spend more money locally, a pool for the kids in Rocksprings, a Boys & Girls Club addition, better roadways, essential public safety communication equipment, 911 upgrades, a better historic Morton Theatre and Ware-Lyndon House, bicycle lanes, new buses, rails-to-trails, more sewer lines, continuation of the greenway, public art, more green space, park improvements, safer routes to schools, a larger animal shelter, affordable housing programs, and to top it all off, half of it being paid for by non-residents.

The reality is, SPLOST-funded projects are essential… please vote YES! Bill Douglas Athens [Editor’s Note: Bill Douglas is Chairman of the SPLOST 2011 Citizens Committee.]

BOMBER CITY STATEMENT The five remaining members of Athens band Bomber City (Murray Attaway, Diana Crowe, Pat Patterson, Jeff & Phyllis Walls) feel compelled to issue a formal group statement regarding the recent events surrounding the District 5 race and our (now former) keyboardist Billy Holmes.

First of all, we wish to remove ourselves completely from this issue. We want to make it clear that as a band, Bomber City has no official position on the District 5 run-off.

We learned of this situation for the first time when we read Dave Marr’s article in the Flagpole on Tuesday, Oct. 19.

The rest of us in Bomber City do not feel the need to be associated with any local political intrigue. We have no illusions about being anything other than a rock ’n’ roll band.

It’s hard enough to make a band work and be fun for everybody involved, without becoming embroiled in distasteful political drama. As a band, we have no interest in making enemies of any stripe. Our job is bringing people together.

Billy Holmes and Bomber City have agreed to part company. His views and opinions do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of Bomber City. Billy Holmes is an immensely talented musician, and we wish him the best of luck in the future.

We also wish Jared Bailey, Tom Ellis and Dave Hudgins the best of luck in the coming District 5 run-off. We feel that, given these circumstances, we must postpone our Nov. 6 show at the Melting Point, much to our regret.

We will return in early 2011, and we thank you for your understanding.

city dope Election Edition!

Let’s Talk About SPLOST: There’s been a significant amount of debate over the current SPLOST referendum, and that’s certainly appropriate given the $195 million price tag attached to its 35 projects, which will be funded by the 1 percent sales tax over a period estimated at a little over nine years.

The jail project in particular—over $76 million including financing costs for a 750-bed facility to replace the county’s current, crumbling one—has raised the eyebrows of many constituents and the ire of some. Opponents of this referendum cite other concerns from the length of the cycle to the project selection process to the wording of the project statements. At last week’s public forum organized by the group Rebuild SPLOST, which opposes the referendum largely because its members believe the jail project is too big and hasn’t been vetted thoroughly enough, these and other concerns were voiced to members of the SPLOST 2011 Citizens Advisory Committee, a 22-member panel appointed by the mayor and commission to oversee the project selection process, who did their best to defend the referendum they had helped to assemble.

That wasn’t easy, because despite the best efforts of moderator Michael Smith, the forum eventually became a sounding-off period for folks it was tough to imagine ever voting for any SPLOST. Which is one problem with a campaign to constructively criticize this slate of projects in order to turn it into something that might work better: the movement has to take on those with more drastic agendas than merely “rebuilding” the list in front of us now.

Another problem is that, despite the protestations of Smith’s Rebuild SPLOST co-chair John Marsh, it’s very unlikely that we could shear $20 million, much less $35 million, from the cost of the jail, which means that in delaying the slate a year we’d be leaving a sizable chunk of 2011 collections on the table at a time when the county can ill afford it.

The process of finalizing the jail project budget was not careless or reckless (or, incidentally, secretive), and even those commissioners, like Kelly Girtz and Mike Hamby, who

pushed for a smaller jail were advocating for a facility of about 675 beds, which might have saved $6 or $8 million from the final cost.

Even on a progressive commission, trimming the jail from the original proposal of 850 beds to 750 was the best smaller-jail proponents could do. That’s not likely to change, so in the event this SPLOST has to be “rebuilt,” savings will probably have to come from other, “nonessential” projects, like greenways, Safe Routes to School and park improvements.

It’s also been suggested that the Classic Center expansion project, the second largest on the list at nearly $24 million, was rejected by the citizens committee and unilaterally placed on the referendum by the mayor and commission. That’s not really true: the committee was originally given a budget of $170 million including the jail, and the original cost of the Classic Center project was about $47 million, which would have eaten up nearly half the money the committee had left for other projects. When the committee brought its list to the commission, they said they regretted leaving the Classic Center off, but they couldn’t justify using more than $120 million of the budget on just two projects.

The commission agreed, but wanted to find a way to make room for a project that would start bringing money into the local economy immediately upon completion. That’s when they asked the Classic Center to reduce the cost of the expansion and expanded the SPLOST budget to add the scaled-back project, which will add less than a year and a half to the length of the collection cycle. The final list was approved by the elected commissioners by a vote of nine to one. Nine to one.

Athens is a progressive community whose residents realize that quality-of-life amenities that add to the city’s appeal are more than just “nice to have,” and SPLOST has a well-deserved good reputation here for providing those in a manner that doesn’t break our budget. This is a big one because we have to build a jail, but that shouldn’t spook us into voting it down. SPLOST works for this town, and we’ll miss it badly if we turn it away.

In the Details: One element of the Classic Center expansion project that’s been mentioned here before is the planned closing of Hancock Street before its termination at Foundry street, currently the only direct connection of an east-west through street with downtown’s easternmost edge—a border that has repeatedly been discussed as ripe for expansion to the banks of the North Oconee River. The Dope emailed the five Athens mayoral candidates to ask where they stood on this issue and got responses from all but Glenn Stegall (in Stegall’s defense—and to the others’ credit—the request for comment was somewhat last-minute). Charlie Maddox, Gwen O’Looney and Spencer Frye each expressed a firm desire to pursue eastern expansion of downtown but stopped short of advocating for Hancock to remain open. Denson said her “gut reaction” would be not to favor the closing, but that the subject requires thorough study.

Frye, who suggests looking into public/private partnerships (with an emphasis on the private) to facilitate development of a river district, says the possible closing of Hancock for the Classic Center expansion “would be part of a broader vision and needs to be considered carefully.” O’Looney, who in her positions on the SPLOST 2011 Citizens Advisory Committee and as chair of the Classic Center Authority has likely given the plan a good bit of careful attention, sounds doubtful that the expansion could be accomplished under its proposed budget without the closing. She stresses the importance of preserving pedestrian access to Foundry and cites the inclusion of the stairway between the theater and the Fire Hall in the Classic Center’s original design as evidence of a commitment to that goal.

If SPLOST passes, this is going to be an issue the next mayor and commission will have to deal with when approving the final plans for the expansion. The decisions they make will affect the future of downtown and the people who use it. The Dope isn’t ready to give up on the possibility of finding an alternative to closing this key connection to street traffic, but if it happens, we’d better be sure we’re preserving some good options for facilitating access to eastward development—and beginning to plan for them before the next roadblock gets thrown up. Keep that in mind, and make sure your elected officials do, too.

Endorsement Bingo: Nancy Denson issued a press release late last week containing a testimonial from Atlanta U.S. Representative

John Lewis lauding her years of public service and culminating in the statement: “Athens would be truly blessed to have Nancy Denson as [its] next Mayor.” Denson accepted what she termed Lewis’ “endorsement,” though it wasn’t entirely clear from the text of Lewis’ statement that that was what it was. Lewis’ office confirmed Monday that the congressman had not, in fact, intended his statement to be taken as an endorsement of Denson over her four fellow candidates, but rather as “a strong show of support” for Denson, whose family Lewis has known for many years. The statement was reported in the Athens Banner-Herald and elsewhere as an endorsement. “When I received the congressman’s statement,” Denson told the Dope Monday, “I did interpret it as an endorsement. Whether formal or not does not diminish the congressman’s praise of my public service record and potential as mayor. I am proud to be held in such high esteem by one of our country’s heroes.”

Meanwhile, closer to home, Spencer Frye announced his endorsement by Mayor Heidi Davison in an ad in last week’s Flagpole. It had been somewhat widely known that the mayor was a Frye supporter, but her formal declaration for him came as a bit of a surprise. Another head-turner was District 6 Commissioner Ed Robinson’s endorsement of Denson, reported on Beyond the Trestle last Friday. Robinson likes Denson’s experience and non-polarizing qualities: “It’s about who’s going to get the job done most effectively,” he says, “not who’s the best progressive.” It’s possible we’ll see more endorsements from commissioners in the mayoral race, especially if and when it enters a run-off, but it’s unlikely any of them will follow Robinson’s lead by weighing in on commission races.

BTT reported that Robinson was also supporting Jared Bailey in District 5.

Back to Election News: Keep an eye on Beyond the Trestle this week for news on its thrilling election day coverage, plans for which are taking shape even as this goes to print.

Johnathan McGinty and Martin Matheney’s local blog, which has partnered with Flagpole for much of this election cycle, will become an information and commentary-producing media behemoth on Nov. 2, likely with the participation of your own true Dope and his all-powerful overlord, Pete McCommons. Admit it: you can’t wait.

city pages Frat House Proposal Still Faces Resistance of Milledge Neighbors Chi Phi fraternity, pressed by UGA to move from its Lumpkin Street house, wants to build a new house on Milledge Avenue. Last week, the fraternity continued a year-long odyssey of meetings with neighbors (many opposed) and local government boards to build on land it bought at the corner of Milledge and Rutherford.

A new frat house on Milledge requires a special-use permit, which the ACC Planning Commission OK’d, pending approval of the ACC Mayor and Commission Nov. 3. But because Milledge recently became a protected historic district, Chi Phi’s house design must also be approved by the ACC Historic Preservation Commission, which last week tabled it for the second time, deferring a decision until next month.

Several neighbors spoke in opposition to the frat house which (along with a large rear parking lot) will take up most of the two-acre lot. An existing house, dating to 1903 but renovated in the 1930s, would remain on the lot; the rest is now in large trees, most of which would be removed, although trees in the front yard would be saved.

Chi Phi’s landscape architect, Jon Williams, said the fraternity had hoped to incorporate the older house into the new building’s design, but neighbors and the Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation didn’t want to see such an extensive addition to the historic building.

At last week’s commission meeting, neighbors and some commission members criticized

the 22,000-square-foot building’s scale and visual bulk, and a report prepared by county staffers recommended denial, saying the building design doesn’t meet guidelines for the new historic district for scale and massing. For that reason, neighbors urged denial.

“It’s too huge,” said Cathy Padgett of the 28-bedroom house.

“The applicant has admitted that it has not got its act together,” said Susan Field, after Chi Phi’s architect acknowledged, “We failed the first time around.”

Opponents had come back “many times” to speak at meetings, said neighbor Rosemarie Goodrum: “They didn’t do their homework.”

But staff and commission members pointed out that some design requirements are subjective and unspecific, forcing the fraternity to keep guessing what will gain their approval.

“They’re not given any quantitative guidelines,” said commission member Smith Wilson.

“We don’t do that in this sort of forum… But should the project be rejected just because their ideas are not in tune with our ideas as more experienced preservationists?”

“It’s pretty obvious to me what it should look like,” said member Benjamin Rossetti.

“Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to sketch it and hand it to them.”

The commission voted unanimously to table the application, giving the fraternity a chance to redraw its plan.

“Pretty much everything, architecturally, is on the table with us,” said Williams. “Roof lines and the front porch could change, and the house can get a little smaller, possibly…

It takes time to get it right… Given a client… who’s willing to spend the time and money it takes, we can usually come to a consensus.”

athens rising What’s Up in New Development Stagnation: Frankly, I’m not in the mood to write the polemic I intended. With a week to go before the election, I’ve realized that regardless of who wins, it won’t be anything on the ballot that gets us out of our decadesold muddle. What it will take is us changing our story.

I could debunk the narrative that SPLOST is a “garbage bag” of projects, when the reality is that those seemingly haphazard projects are all part of a concerted and holistic effort to catch Athens up with the country’s other economically competitive communities. I could talk about which mayoral candidate is most likely to move this city forward towards a more livable built environment, and which is showing they are clearly unaware of what we really need by talking about non-issues like bike racks. There’s also the problems arising from the relationship between county staff and elected representatives. However, none of these conversations would cut to the real heart of our lingering stagnation.

mayor system of the unified government’s charter, the balkanization of Clarke and Oconee counties back in the Reconstruction era, and the university’s original charter have just as much to do with where we are now and where we’re going as which career Democrat is the next mayor.

This may seem like a fluffy sort of column: light on construction and plans, and heavy on the touchy-feely stuff. After countless debates and candidate forums, we know that everyone loves recycling and cares about jobs.

Candidates and moderators both have been tentative about touching on these real issues.

However, we cannot have real progress until we address some of these unspoken issues that underlie our more concrete efforts to move Athens forward.

Back to Basics: To move back to SPLOST as an example, can we really settle the issues surrounding that funding mechanism until we get our hands dirty and really get to the bottom

John Huie

While some candidates focus on superficial issues like bike racks, bigger issues are creeping up from below the surface.

This is a community where everyone is backed into a corner. Take SPLOST: the antisales-tax crowd’s last-minute reactions sound an awful lot like the months of public outcry and wrangling over the tennis center. Town versus gown. Intowners versus suburbanites.

Business interests versus ecological interests.

Football versus rock and roll. Regardless of the conversation, a reactionary stance currently rules, with little room for proactive collaboration.

The Vision Thing: Regardless of who wins the election, a real and holistic way forward, one that addresses poverty, public safety, the local environment, traffic, education, the economy and so many other issues, won’t be created by a new mayor and commission. It won’t come out of any referendum’s success or failure.

What it will take is the recognition by all of us as individuals that we are all responsible for helping to move this city forward in a visionary way. Every time we react to some issue, the onus is on us to put out a better alternative. A purely negative reaction is useless and only slows us down, while other communities move forward.

In a way, it is decades and centuries old pieces of paper that have hamstrung our current agendas in so many ways. The weak

of the relationship between UGA and Athens, and how it affects taxes, quality of life and everything else? That 200-year-old issue is a big one, and we need to get it out in the open and really explore it. Euphemistic concerns about public safety, schools and poverty likewise point to deeper issues that the South as a region still hasn’t come to terms with.

The story of Athens, though, isn’t any one of these things; it’s all of them. Athens’ successes have come in spite of all these problems. Can we find a way to integrate all of these facets of this town’s complex personality into a strategy that really works? Nov. 2 isn’t a referendum on anything; any changing on the guard or paradigm shift in this town is going to come from somewhere else.

More than ever, I’m convinced of the pure magic and potential of this place. Beautiful rivers with sublime industrial relics, a stately university, a charming downtown, the best music your ears ever heard, wonderful weather, shady streets of historic homes, the most wellknown college mascot and so much more. If we can have some sober conversations over those big issues that permeate everything else, then this city’s creative and feisty spirit will take off.

ReBuild SPLOST says

VOTE EARLY

ALL OVER AGAIN? nor does it absolve him of responsibility for cheapening the office of a U.S. Member of the House of Representatives and the shame that it brings on an already tainted Congress.”

A Republican Party activist from White County, Mike Carter, resigned his seat on the GOP’s state committee because of his concerns about Deal, saying this on his Facebook page: “Nathan Deal’s situation is not simply about helping a family member realize a business dream that failed… this is about how he has handled everything as a U.S. Congressman and now candidate for Governor of the state of Georgia.”

Tom Perdue, a veteran consultant who ran Saxby Chambliss’ campaign two years ago, said of Deal and his personal financial problems: “He should step down as the nominee. People in the party feel betrayed, and they feel cheated, because if they had known about all of this earlier, there would have been a different nominee.”

Those kinds of comments suggest why Deal could end up being pushed into a runoff with Barnes. Does that give Barnes and the Democrats reason to hope that they could yet win this race in a runoff?

I don’t think so.

One thing you can say with certainty about Georgia politics is that Republicans show up and vote in runoff elections. Democrats don’t.

In every case where a statewide race has been decided in a runoff, the Republican candidate has won even if he finished second in the general election.

Republicans simply do a better job of getting their voters back to the polls. A runoff between Deal and Barnes, if that should come to pass, would likely follow the same pattern.

Will the election year end when the votes are tallied on Nov. 2? The possibility looms that Georgians will have to endure a four-week runoff campaign before they finally determine the winner of the governor’s race. While Nathan Deal has been the leader over Roy Barnes in every poll released since the primaries, he has fallen short of the 50 percent required by law to win a general election.

Why do we find ourselves trapped in this campaign that seemingly will never end? The reason cited most often by the experts is the negative nature of the campaigns run by Deal and Barnes. There has been a lot of mud flung in this one, and these kinds of campaigns can discourage people from voting or motivate them to cast their ballot for a Libertarian candidate in protest.

I think we’re also seeing the residual effects of a bitter Republican primary, where Deal won the nomination by about 2,500 votes over Karen Handel after both candidates ripped each other to shreds with nasty, personal attacks.

Those wounds take a long time to heal, and they have caused a lot of hard feelings towards Deal within his own party. One of the most interesting aspects of this race has been how some of the most pointed criticisms of Deal have come from his Republican colleagues.

At a speech last week before a women’s group, her first public appearance since losing the Republican runoff, Handel was asked by reporters if she supported Deal’s candidacy for governor. “I support the ticket,” was the best she could do.

Clint Murphy, a GOP operative from the Savannah area, made this recent posting on a Republican website: “While some of you sit back and justify Nathan Deal’s various excuses and reasons that he abused his Congressional Office… it doesn’t change the facts of the alleged abuses made by Deal or carried out by his office,

t’s time for the November elections, and that, if you can’t tell by the dense fields of ink below, means it’s time for Flagpole’s bi-annual accounting of where all the campaign cash comes from (there’s another filing period for disclosures of contributions immediately before the election, which makes it difficult—unintentionally, we’re sure—to give you an absolutely up-to-date reckoning of from whose largesse our candidates have benefited). The contributions listed below are those of $101 or more (smaller contributions are included in the totals but not listed individually) on record through Sept. 30 of this year. The contributions pertaining to the local mayor and commission races date back to the beginning of last October; the Western Circuit judicial race reporting is for this calendar year; and the reporting for U.S. Congressional District 10 dates back to the beginning of 2009.

You can find this information and more at the websites of the Athens-Clarke County government (www.athensclarkecounty.com), the Georgia State Ethics Commission (www.ethics.georgia.gov) and the Federal Election Commission (www.fec.gov).

Here's what Athens is saying about

GWEN O'LOONEY...

Gwen is a people person who has never met a stranger. Gwen enjoys making life better for people and uses politics to help her fellow citizens have better lives. Gwen is loyal, caring, kind, intelligent, insightful and resourceful.

MRS. HOWARD STROUD, JR., Owner, Creative Kids

I believe no matter what type of career or job she has, Gwen will work hard and achieve great things. Gwen will always be a success. WHY!? Because she is the People’s Mayor. I know Gwen really cares about people and wants them to have a better life. Gwen O’ Looney will be a great Mayor by just being herself.

MARION COLEMAN, Artist and Poet

Classic Center Authority is a major economic engine in Athens. Gwen O’Looney is in her second year as its Chairman and has led us through our toughest times.

She’s what I want in a Mayor.

LINDA FORD, Classic Center Authority Member & Former ACC Commissioner



New music, new people, new ideas... Gwen O'Looney has embraced all of Athens. At our first meeting, she welcomed my involvement in Athens. Gwen wants the new generation to be at the table. She is what Athens needs. I'm voting for Gwen O'Looney.

ADRIAN ZELSKI, Owner of New Earth Music Hall



In 1983, I was an aspiring teen artist who joined a group in putting together a booklet of information for teens. Gwen O’ Looney gave us a budget and the resources, but most of all, she respected us enough to put us in charge and it was a huge success. Gwen will be a Mayor who listens and inspires people to give their best for Athens.

BILLY WILHITE, Artist, Videographer & Editor

From working with Gwen on county issues, I know she does her homework and asks tough questions. I want someone in office who knows and loves all of Athens black, white, Hispanic, rich, poor, super educated and GED grads. Without a doubt, that’s Gwen.

CAROL MYERS, University Heights resident, college teacher, mother & avid cyclist

As an outstanding former Mayor, Gwen’s record of open government was critical to successful city-county consolidation. Her leadership, knowledge and experience are needed again to make us all feel welcome as participants in public-policy making, and good about Commission decisions.

Artists live sort of a gypsy life, but one area theatre organization has nourished a community and the people who founded it for more than 12 years. Oconee Youth Playhouse was created in 1998 by Terra and Shane Hannon, who met in a Town and Gown production of She Loves Me when they were at UGA. After graduation, Terra lived that gypsy life. Working for Missoula Children’s Theater touring a production of Pinnochio, Terra and a partner would pull into a community, cast 50 local kids and put on a show at the end of the week, then travel to the next location and do the same thing. After the tour, Terra came back to work in Oconee, inspired by her experiences on the road.

“I met so many kids and families across the country and saw how much they truly loved the performing arts experiences we brought into their communities.” she says. After the tour, Kent Hannon

Terra and Shane married and started OYP. “We just thought it would be fun for the kids. We had no idea it would catch on so quickly,” says Terra. “After a couple of smaller productions, we got brave and decided to do The Wizard of Oz. Nearly 200 kids auditioned! That show got a lot of attention for OYP because people were so amazed at the quality of the sets and costumes, not to mention the talent of the kids involved.”

Since 1998, Oconee Youth Playhouse has produced 36 musicals with casts ranging from first-graders through college students from Athens, Oconee and surrounding areas (even drawing participants from Monroe and Madison). “We focus on providing a high-quality performing arts experience with an emphasis on giving featured roles to local youth,” says Shane.

“Our shows are known for their large production numbers with a stage full of talented young singers and dancers. A lot of kids who perform with us keep coming back to do more shows, so we have quite a number of veteran performers who aren’t even in high school yet.”

the reader Adventures in the Ordinary World A couple of weeks ago I went, in the company of three beautiful women, to an “‘80s Prom” fundraiser for the Classic City Roller Girls. My wife and her friends spent two hours getting dressed for this thing, and by the time we were all ready to go, the three of them were a vision of dramatic makeup, rubber O-rings and architectural hair (they still make Aqua-Net in the white can—who knew?). Upon seeing them all I could say was “Mondale doesn’t stand a chance.” We all looked fabulous… and felt ridiculous.

Nostalgia for the ‘80s is a pernicious thing.

We have a bar downtown that specializes in it, except at any time maybe one out of 10 of the patrons is old enough to remember the decade, and of those only 10 percent actually do. The 1980s were America’s 10-year “lost weekend,” the decade when we all lost our minds and woke up to find ourselves in a strange bed with vague hangover memories of bad haircuts and Reaganomics and doing the Neutron Dance, and really bright, hideous clothes all over our floor. We kind of remember John Hughes and Mitch Easter and Pee-Wee Herman trying to save us, but we can’t be sure.

Rob Sheffield, by day a writer for Rolling Stone, remembers the decade more fondly than I do, and certainly more eloquently, as he demonstrates in his new memoir Talking to Girls about Duran Duran: One Young Man’s Quest for True Love and a Cooler Haircut (Dutton, 2010). Before I go any further,

however, I want to take the opportunity to point all of you to Sheffield’s last book, Love Is a Mix-Tape, which I mentioned in a year-end wrap-up but wasn’t able to give the attention it deserved. The funny, touching and heartrending story of Sheffield’s first marriage— their courtship and life together, and then her sudden death by embolism—has become one of those books, like Marisha Pessl’s Special Topics in Calamity Physics and Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, that I’ll proselytize for with the mania of a street preacher. So, as I’m saying that one ought to read Sheffield’s new book, I’m also saying one needs to read his last one.

Now that’s done, Talking to Girls about Duran Duran is Sheffield’s collection of memories of a Hair Decade spent growing up in Boston, the only boy-child in a house full of strong Irish girls and women, and coming into his own through the same succession of failed loves and lousy jobs as most of us. His stories are framed, chapter by chapter, through the music that was playing at the time, one main song per chapter. Like Nick Hornby’s Rob Gordon (and that’s to say, like most of us with a sick disposition toward music-geekery) Sheffield thinks very much in terms of the soundtrack of his life, the songs that flesh out his existence rather than serving as sonic wallpaper.

And like a true music geek, it’s not enough that the music speaks to him—he’s got to talk back. Sheffield’s book is not just about his life

with music but about the music itself. Hence the chapter on Paul McCartney’s “No More Lonely Nights,” which is an amazingly deft parallel discourse on how the least offensive Beatle ended up being the one everyone hates and how understanding Macca is the key to understanding Irish women. It shouldn’t work, but Sheffield makes it work.

How good is he? Sheffield manages to make the case for more lost causes than St. Jude.

Along the way in his remarkable book, he champions A Flock of Seagulls as a live band, makes driving an ice cream truck sound like

the coolest job in the world, argues as the only man ever to be moved to emotion and karaoke by Madonna’s “Crazy for You,” and extols the virtues of Haysi Fantayzee’s “Shiny Shiny,” a song so disposable that Sheffield and I may be the only two people on the planet who remember it. This all takes some doing, and it’s to Sheffield’s credit that he does it seamlessly.

The essayist is at his best when he masters the incongruous juxtaposition with the smooth segue and when he can bring forth wit while avoiding the more obvious cleverness. These have been my primary goals as an essayist and while I’m occasionally able to pull it off, I have to have a lie-down afterward.

Sheffield does it again and again, managing to be charming and engaging and selfdeprecating without being self-effacing. These are rare skills, especially when one is working with as slippery a subject as pop music. Hornby can do it, Chuck Klosterman can do it (most of the time), and Sheffield does it wonderfully here. I may not agree with all of his conclusions—I don’t believe all women love Duran Duran, and we’ll have to talk sometime about his dislike for Dire Straits—but Talking to Girls about Duran Duran is a conversation worth checking out. At the very least it takes some of the pain out of remembering the ‘80s.

There’s So Much Talent Out There It’s Downright Frightening

We

had 15 entries this year in Flagpole’s annual Halloween Scary Story Contest, and they were all highquality, making it harder than ever to pick three winners.

We finally decided on these: First Place ($75) “Good Boy” by Angie Furney, Second Place ($50) “The Black Note” by Adam Rainville (who won First Place last year) and Third Place ($25) “Sic Transit” by John Gaither. Honorable Mention (priceless) goes to Donna Smith Fee (who also won Honorable Mention last year) for her story, “Ten Melted Men,” and to Seth Adams for “Camp Feral Youth.” This is Seth’s fourth time entering the Flagpole contest. He won Honorable Mention last year, too, and his stories have steadily progressed since he started at age seven. Seth should be making it into the winners’ circle any year now without a doubt. The Honorable Mention stories can be read online at Flagpole. com, along with the winners.

This year’s entrants had to mention 10 of these 20 Athens band names: The Glands, Werewolves, Woodfangs, Anus Full of Wasabi, Burns Like Fire, The Dumps, Dead Dog, The Heathens, Holy Liars, Twin Tigers, Tongue & Groove, Dark Meat, Rat Babies, The Plague, Reeks of Failure, Melted Men, Laminated Cat, Incredible Sandwich, Feral Youth, Clay Leverett.

“Here boy,” she called. “I won’t hurt you.

I’ve got chicken.”

Her phone cast a small halo of light ahead of her, making the rest of the forest darker.

She pushed the thoughts of werewolves and monsters out of her brain. She was too old to be scared of the dark.

The jingle was louder now and just ahead of her. She whistled and called, “Don’t be scared. I won’t hurt you.”

gruesome sight. She screamed and scrambled back from the dead dog. The body was bloated, and its tongue was hanging out of its mouth. It must have been dead for days.

Her stomach churned as she saw her phone lying just on the other side of the animal. She wanted to just get away, but in her confusion from the fall, she wasn’t sure in which direction the highway was. She swallowed a sob, knowing she had to have the phone.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 27, 2010

Suddenly, a terrible smell surrounded her.

It was worse than the dumps on the outside of town. She coughed and stumbled forward.

The jingling was so loud, almost in front her face. Whipping around, she looked for the dog, but the smell was making her dizzy.

Every instinct in her body said RUN! She dropped the box, turned and started for the highway. She hadn’t made it a few steps when she tripped over a mass of something and fell face first. Trying to brace herself, the phone flew out of her hand. Gasping to catch her breath, she turned her head in the direction of the phone’s glow and was met with a Crosby

Jason

Shaking, she opened the car door.

She’d tried to stop, but there was no time and too much traffic to swerve.

Right before the hit, it had looked right at her. The impact of it shook the car, and the twin tigers with bobbing heads on her dashboard came loose, falling to the floor. She’d seen the dog go down, a black mass of fur.

“Here puppy,” she called, her voice cutting into the night. She looked up to see the highway that had been so busy was now deserted.

“Here boy,” she called louder.

Maybe the dog wasn’t dead. She heard a faint jingle in the woods ahead of her. She started in that direction but decided to go back to her car for her flashlight.

“Damn!” She slammed the trunk shut. The heathens that detailed her car had forgotten to put her emergency kit back inside. She went to the front for her phone and had an idea. If this dog was a stray, it might be too scared to come to her without some coaxing. She grabbed the takeout box holding her leftovers from dinner. It was just some chicken she was taking home to her cat, because she didn’t like the dark meat.

Box and phone in hand, she returned to the edge of the woods. There was the jingle again. She let the light from the phone guide her in its direction.

her. Sobbing, she stumbled into a small clearing with a cabin, decorated for Halloween: a laminated cat smiled at her as she beat on the door.

“Help!” she screamed, the jerking movements and jingling getting closer. “Oh, God,” she sobbed, “Help!”

The door swung inward, and she flung herself inside, slamming it behind her. The jingling was so loud on the other side, then silence.

“Good boy,” a voice filled the room like a million scratching rat babies.

“You’ve brought me another one.”

Her eyes slid over the tongue and groove shack. She could barely make out the two figures coming toward her in the blackness—one a man, the other the dog. She screamed as the jingling started again, but no one alive heard her.

“It’s dead,” she said aloud, getting to her knees.

“It’s dead,” she said again, reaching over it. Just as her fingers brushed the phone’s case, she heard the jingle again, and a rustling in the leaves below her. She looked down, and the dog’s eyes popped open: yellow and gleaming. She screamed and fell back, leaving the phone out of reach. She watched in horror as the dog’s legs began to move.

The glands on its neck pulsed as the bloated tongue lolled around with its movement.

Forgetting the phone, she got to her feet and bolted. The jingling and jerking movements of the dead animal were close behind

“What in the hell is that noise?”

Milton asked, as he sat down and set the plate of food in his lap.

His wife looked at him over the magazine she was reading and answered.

“I think a band moved in over on Cleveland. I saw a van in the driveway the other day with twin tigers airbrushed on either side. They’re probably just practicing.”

“That’s supposed to be music? Sounds like nine werewolves fucking. It’s got to stop. It’s Saturday afternoon; the game’s almost on, I’ve made this incredible sandwich, and I can’t focus with the heathens down the street banging away all day. I’m going to go have a talk with them.”

Milton got up and went to the door with a huff.

As he neared the source of the racket, Milton’s head began to ache. It wasn’t a normal headache—his eyes were throbbing. Thankfully, when he stepped onto the rental’s yard, the noise stopped. The band must have taken a break.

He peered through a film-crusted window and saw a room filled with instruments: guitars, drums and a big machine that resembled an organ. Three pairs of acoustic muffs lay on the floor.

The tongue-and-groove paneling was covered with local band flyers and photos. The flyers had been torn and defaced. There were darts stuck in the pictures and angry words scribbled in Sharpie.

“Terrible metal band,” Milton thought as he caught a whiff of something rotten. He turned to look for the source and saw a patch of fur near the back of the house. When Milton went to investigate, he found what stunk.

A dead dog. Even when he saw that the dog’s head had been smashed in, he was more sad than scared—until he noticed the blood.

There were at least 10 round, crimson spatters on the cinderblock foundation of the house,

Adam Rainville T h i r d P l ac e

Sic Transit The delivery truck rolled to a stop. There was a dead dog in the road.

“Man, that’s a creepy looking place. Get ready to get mutilated.”

The driver looked at his partner. He always had something to say. He swung out of the truck with a small parcel and headed for the front door, his partner dogging him.

The door opened, and a white-haired woman looked at them with a little smile, her mouth puckered like an anus full of wasabi.

“Takes two of y’all to deliver a little package like that?”

His partner’s mouth opened into a rubbery smile.

“They got us doubled up now. Can’t nobody get both of us at the same time.”

The woman shook her head. “I don’t see how you boys do it. Use to, I’d be afraid to open the door to a delivery driver; now you’re the ones that might be afraid.”

The driver nodded, preparing to deliver the company line.

“Yes, it’s been a terrible ordeal and a tragedy for the families, but our employer is doing everything it can to insure the drivers’ safety.”

He stopped. He couldn’t remember if it was “insure” or “assure.”

“Oh, oh, oh.” The woman was shaking her head before he finished. “That last one they found, what they did to him, with his eyes, and him all cut up so all they could recognize was his uniform.”

The partner shifted into a John Wayne stance.

“Well, they’ll catch those jokers soon enough and put them in the electric chair and fry them ‘til there’s nothing left but dark meat.”

His face was red now, his righteous fury on display.

“We appreciate your concern, ma’am,” the driver said. “Have a nice day.”

They returned to the truck.

“Sons of bitches.” The partner’s voice mingled with the whine and growl of the truck. “I can understand a couple of sandwich delivery drivers ending up in the dumpster, but us—I mean, grown men in uniform with a big company truck is a more serious target than some kid on a scooter. And that one driver’s been missing a couple of weeks.”

They stopped for lunch. The feral youth behind the counter took their order.

“The heathens that run this place ought to hire somebody besides werewolves.” The partner looked around doubtfully. “They probably got rat babies on the menu. Why you want to eat here?”

“Because they make an incredible sandwich,” the driver answered, “and I like the furnishings.” He eyed the cabinets as a young woman brought their sandwiches, her shirt full enough to reveal the claws tattooed on her breasts, twin tigers on the prowl. She smiled at the partner, and he watched her walk back.

“Damn, I like those furnishings she’s got.

They get the glands a-going.” She was leaning on the counter, moving slightly to a beat only she could hear. The partner stood up. “I got to check this out.”

He walked to the counter, leaning low near her. The driver could hear their low voices, her even tones, his rattling laugh. He finished his sandwich slowly.

The partner returned, his face glowing. “I hate to do this to you,” he said with a sloppy grin, “but I’m calling the office, calling in sick for the rest of the day. Me and Jezebel over there got some business to tend to.”

The driver gave him a slow smile. “Well, all right then. Don’t get lost.” Turning to go, he looked past his partner to the young woman, who gave him a short nod and held up four fingers.

At four o’clock the driver pulled up to a house on an empty street and walked in the front door without knocking. He pulled out a key to unlock an inner door. Inside, the young woman stood over a man in uniform wired to a heavy, high-backed chair, his mouth taped shut. One eye socket was a charred ruin, the other held a ball of maggots, slowly turning.

In another chair his partner sat, likewise bound, sweat streaming and eyes rolling. The young woman tapped him on his shiny chest with a long corkscrew. “I say we start with the glands.” The partner’s cries were barely audible through the silvery tape.

The driver’s cellphone rang, and he held up a hand as he answered. It was the office calling, asking if his partner was coming back to work the next day.

“Naw,” he said. “He ain’t coming back.”

as if someone repeatedly smashed the animal’s head against the concrete blocks.

Milton felt movement in his stomach. He had to leave.

The next day, Milton was walking downtown when a flyer caught his eye. On the flyer was the same tiger design that his wife described from the band’s van. Under the logo it exclaimed: Monday, November 1, The 40 Watt Club Presents THE BLACK NOTE With Special Guests.

“Those guys suck.”

“You know them?” Milton asked the lanky teen standing next to him.

“Hell yeah. Used to play with them till they kicked me out. Said my stuff was too poppy.

Said they wanted a darker sound. But the black note—total gimmick. This new project reeks of failure.”

“What’s the black note?”

The kid looked annoyed. “Just an urban legend. Ever hear of the brown note?”

“No.” “The government researched it for a nonviolent weapon. It’s a sound frequency that’s supposed to make you shit your pants. The black note is like that, but you shit your mind instead. Theory is, people who hear it go into a rage and rip apart anyone near them. If no one’s near, they end up ripping themselves apart. Assholes. No way they found it, but I bet it gets them a big crowd.”

“Are they good?”

“No. Everyone hates them. That’s supposedly why they put this thing together.”

Milton sat alone on the floor with the curtains drawn. He was rocking back and forth.

It was the day of the show, and the band had been practicing all afternoon. He had tried everything; toilet paper in the ears, plugs, even blasting his own music as loud as he could. Still the sound waves penetrated his skull. He wanted to stop them, but when he opened his front door earlier, his head almost burst from the sound. They had nearly found the note, but not quite.

His fingers started twitching. His wife left early that morning to finish a project at work.

He wished his wife was home. Someone living.

He had an urge…

He thought about the poor dog, the dark meat of his brains drying on the grass. He thought of that night’s show, the feral youth, hundreds of them packed in the club hoping to hear the stuff of legend. He thought of the aftermath. A bloodbath of torn-apart flesh, muscle, sinew. Then he thought of the sound, moving forever through space.

What if it spread like the plague?

Suddenly, Milton shoved his fingers into his ear canals and pulled until his ears ripped off the sides of his head.

They found it.

In the thirty years I have served in elected office, I have been an agent for positive change and an advocate for fairness. I listen, respond and work for all of Athens-Clarke County Citizens.

movie dope Some releases may not be showing locally this week.

ADRIFT (NR) 2009. A Vietnamese cinema import, director Bui Thac Chuyen’s Adrift sounds like a French erotic drama. Newlywed Duyen is disappointed by her husband, a sexual amateur who is too occupied with work and his mother, to please his new wife.

Soon, Duyen is engaged in a love triangle, courtesy of her amorous friend, Cam, that threatens her marriage as well as her concept of traditional relationships. The film will be introduced

by Hyangsoon Yi. AFTERSHOCK (NR) This Chinese domestic smash (it is China’s highest grossing locally made film) chronicles the 1976 earthquake in Tangshan that claimed 240,000 lives. Director Xiaogang Feng has won several international awards, including one from the Venice Film Festival, for his features A Sign, A World Without Thieves, The Banquet and Assembly. Aftershock is the first major commercial IMAX film shot outside of the United States. The film is also the official Chinese admission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

ANIMAL KINGDOM (R) In his feature debut, filmmaker David Michôd directs an ‘80s blood feud between Australian cops and robbers. War erupts on the eve of the arrival of J (James Frecheville), the teenage grandson of gang matriarch, Grandma Smurf (Jacki Weaver). The most, if not only, recognizable face belongs to Guy Pearce.

The film sounds like a tough winner a la Gomorrah and Un Prophet. Winner of the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize from the Sundance Film Festival.

CATFISH (PG-13) See Movie Pick.

COLD PREY (NR) 2006. This Norwegian horror import sounds like a perfectly chilly way to prepare for the upcoming Halloween. Five friends on a snowboarding vacation are forced to take shelter in an abandoned hotel (hope it’s not the Overlook) after one of them breaks a leg. Unfortunately, there is no more room at this inn, in which a psychopathic someone else already lives. Winner of two Amandas (Best Actress and Public Choice Award) as well as a nomination for the Amanda for Best Film.

THE COMPANY MEN (R) TV megaproducer John Wells (“ER,” “The West Wing”) makes his feature film debut with this timely drama. Three

men—Bobby Walker, Gene McClary and Phil Woodward (Oscar winners Ben Affleck, Chris Cooper and Tommy Lee Jones)—deal with losing their jobs in the present recession and the effects on their wives, lives and communities.

Talk about a cast. Besides the three stars, Kevin Costner, Craig T. Nelson, Maria Bello and Rosemarie Dewitt are also Company Men. CONVICTION (R)Single mother Betty Anne Waters (two-time Academy Award winner Hilary Swank) puts herself through law school in order to get her brother’s (Sam Rockwell) wrongful conviction for murder overturned. It’s hard to tell from the trailer whether or not this inspirational, based on a true story drama—starring one multiple Oscar winner and several Oscar nominees (Juliette Lewis, Minnie Driver, and Melissa Leo)—has award potential.

With Ari Graynor, Clea DuVall, and Peter Gallagher. Directed by Tony Goldwyn (the bad guy from Ghost who now directs).

DESPICABLE ME (PG) Despicable Me may be no Toy Story 3, but the animated feature is as funny and entertaining as any other kiddie film released this year. Bald Bondian supervillain Gru (v. Eastern European Steve Carell) needs a big score to prove he’s no over-the-hill baddie after evil new kid on the block, Vector (v. Jason Segel), steals a pyramid. Ever resourceful, Gru plots to steal the moon via shrinkray. To complete his scheme, the evil genius adopts three little girls—Margo (v. Miranda Cosgrove), Edith and Agnes—with whom he falls in fatherly love. This reverse Lemony Snicket (evil dude adopts three orphans) works for its laughs, rarely going for the cheap, kids’ll-laugh-at-anything humor that plagues the majority of animated fare.

EASY A (PG-13) This second movie from director Will Gluck and first-time feature writer Bert V. Royal accomplishes a rare feat for teen-aimed funny flicks. It starts with a fun concept that it treats respectfully and with genuine humor in a tightly written script good enough to attract a talented cast that includes Emma Stone, Stanley Tucci, Patricia Clarkson, Thomas Haden Church, Lisa Kudrow and Malcolm McDowell. Clean cut, straight-A student Olive Pendergrast (Stone of Superbad fame) becomes infamously

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 27, 2010

slutty after an untrue rumor that she slept with a college guy spreads across the school. Now that everyone from the school’s #1 Christian (Amanda Bynes) to her best friend (Aly Michalka) thinks she’s a whore, Olive owns her new rep, buying some skimpy new clothes that she embroiders with a scarlet A, just like Hester Prynne, the heroine of the novel they happen to be studying in Olive’s English class.

EAT PRAY LOVE (PG-13) In this adaptation of the bestseller, Julia Roberts stars as Elizabeth Gilbert, who changes her life after a painful divorce by traveling the world. The involvement of “Nip/Tuck” and “Glee” creator Ryan Murphy, whose only feature credit was the disappointing Running with Scissors, is surprising. Eat Pray Love does not seem like the boundarypushing TV auteur’s thing. With a trio of pretty men (James Franco, Javier Bardem and Billy Crudup), Richard Jenkins and Viola Davis.

THE EXPENDABLES (R) You know what you’re getting into when you buy a ticket for The Expendables: a maximum meathead experience for which you get your money’s worth. Just don’t expect anything more.

FREAKONOMICS (PG-13) Freakonomics the documentary is nowhere near as enlightening or entertaining as the book(s) upon which it is based. The most intriguing aspect of the film is its high-concept construction. As a whole, the film is interesting, but its parts can disappoint.

THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET’S NEST (R) 2009. The cinematic tale of Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) concludes with this adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s third and final novel.

Trapped in the hospital, recovering from life-threatening injuries, Lisbeth and her allies, including Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist), must outwit a secret section of the Swedish government that just wants her dead.

The Girl Who Played with Fire director Daniel Alfredson returns. With an English-language adaptation of the first novel on the way, will an American audience exist for the Swedish climax?

HATCHET II (NR) As a horror fan, I feel I should have watched Frozen writer-director Adam Green’s 2006 award winner (Austin Fantastic Fest and Fant-Asia Film Festival) by now, but I haven’t. Original survivor Marybeth (genre vet Danielle Harris, Halloweens IV and V as well as Rob Zombie’s Halloween remake and its sequel) discovers her connection to slasher Victor Crowley (Kane Hodder) and returns to the Bayou to confront him once and for all. With Tony “Candyman” Todd.

HEREAFTER (PG-13) Clint must be feeling mortal. The sturdy old director’s newest film, a supernatural melodrama (it’s not quite his thing), asks and unsuccessfully tries to answer the eternal query: What happens after we die?

Real psychic George Lonegan (Matt Damon) sees his ability to “connect” with people’s dead loved ones as a curse, not a blessing. He has given up his lucrative practice to drive a forklift.

Famous French newscaster Marie Lelay (Cecile De France, High Tension) experiences a near-death experience after a freak tsunami. A poor London lad, Marcus, loses his twin brother, Jason.

The lives of these three people eventually intertwine. Being an Eastwood film,

I’m not surprised Hereafter is slow and a bit sappily sentimental. Eastwood’s typically plinky guitar score does not fit and subtracts, rather than adds, to the hokiness. I am positively shocked that this misguided meandering hokum was written by The Queen Oscar winner Peter Morgan. He’s better than this. So is Eastwood.

HOWL (NR) The increasingly impressive James Franco stars as Beat poet Allen Ginsberg, whose poem, “Howl,” led to an obscenity trial in 1957.

Two-time Academy Award winner Rob Epstein (The Times of Harvey Milk, Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt, and The Celluloid Closet) and Jeffrey Friedman (The Celluloid Closet) direct their first fiction feature with this combination of live-action and animation. Sounds like a cool film.

With Jon Hamm, Mary-Louise Parker, Jeff Daniels, Alessandro Nivola, David Strathairn, Treat Williams, and Bob Balaban.

INCEPTION (PG-13) Mysterious thief Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a mastermind at stealing from your mind.

He and his team will forge your dreamscape, infiltrate it and extract whatever valuable secrets you are trying to hide.

A perfect summer blockbuster that is also an Oscar contender (for set design and cinematography), the thrillingly original Inception is the cinematic equivalent of an intelligent, bestselling beach-read, well written enough to aspire higher but entertaining enough for mass appeal.

INHALE (NR) A young girl (Mia Stallard) needs a double lung transplant, leading her parents, Paul and Diane Stanton (Dermot Mulroney and Diane Kruger), to travel to Juarez, Mexico, where their ethical boundaries will be tested. Icelandic director, seven-time Edda Award winner Baltasar Kormákur, is admired for his 101 Reykjavick and The Sea, not so much for his English language debut, 2005’s A Little Trip to Heaven. With Rosanna Arquette, Sam Shepard, Jordi Mollà (Knight and Day) and Vincent Perez.

INSIDE JOB (PG-13) Charles Ferguson—his Oscar nominated Iraq War doc, No End in Sight, was one of 2007’s best, most insightful films—returns with a comprehensive look at the 2008 financial meltdown in which we remain mired. As fantastic as Ferguson’s previous film was, it was also one of the most depressing and frightening. I cannot see Inside Job being any more optimistic. However, I would assume it will garner Ferguson his second Oscar nomination. Narrated

by Matt Damon.

IT’S KIND OF A FUNNY STORY (PG-13) A depressed teenager (Keir Gilchrist, the son from “The United States of Tara”) checks into an adult psychiatric ward, befriending one nutter ( Zack Galifianakis) and sparking a romance with another (Emma Roberts).

The third film from Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (Half Nelson and Sugar) will, hopefully, finally break the duo through to the next filmmaking tier.

With Lauren Graham, Jeremy Davies (“Lost”), Jim Gaffigan and Viola Davis (an Academy Award nominee for Doubt).

I WANT YOUR MONEY (PG) If conservatives really want to combat Michael Moore, they are going to have to find some like-minded filmmakers capable of making better movies

than last year’s An American Carol or the new documentary, I Want Your Money. Whether or not one agrees with Griggs’s misleading, sometimes delusional, other times false claims and Reagan reverence, no one can honestly argue that his cinematic product is a superior one.

JACKASS 3D (R) Everything I said four years ago in my Jackass Number Two review holds true for Jackass 3D. It’s disgusting, filthy, violent and fracking hilarious. No matter how many positive critiques I make, I cannot change the minds of those set against these men. Ten years after their smallscreen debut, these guys remain the great artistes of riotous stupidity.

JACK GOES BOATING (R) In Philip Seymour Hoffman’s directorial debut, the Academy Award winner goes with something comfortable. He developed and starred in an Off-Broadway production of the Bob Glaudino play.

Limo driver Jack (Hoffman) goes on a blind date with Dr. Bob’s Funeral Home employee Connie (Amy Ryan), while the relationship of another working class couple, Clyde and Lucy (John Ortiz and Daphne Rubin-Vega), hits a rough patch.

LEBANON (NR) During the First Lebanon War, four 20-something soldiers search a hostile town that has been bombarded by the Israeli Air Force. When the situation worsens, the boys do their best to stay human amid the chaos. Writer-director Samuel Maoz’s film is based on his own experiences as a 20-year-old soldier. Winner of Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and four Awards of the Israeli Film Academy.

LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS: THE OWLS OF GA’HOOLE (PG) Owlets like Soren (v. Jim Sturgess) are being kidnapped by bad owls.

After escaping from captivity, Soren and his band of pals—Gylfie (v. Emily Barclay), Twilight (v. Anthony LaPaglia) and Digger (v. David Wenham)—travel to the Tree of Ga’Hoole where the legendary guardians live. These young owls convince the guardians of the impending danger from the Pure Ones, led by Metalbeak (v. Joel Edgerton), and a battle ensues. The birds are gorgeously animated.

LET ME IN (R) I called the original Swedish language adaptation of John Ajvide Lindqvist’s vampire novel, Let the Right One In, perfect as is.

Surprisingly, the American one, written and directed by Cloverfield’s Matt Reeves, is not so bad itself. Lonely, bullied Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee, The Road) falls for Abby (Chloe Grace Moretz, Kick-Ass), a vampire eternally trapped at the age of 12, more or less. Lovers of the original need fear not. Reeves’ film is no Hollywood whitewashing.

LIFE AS WE KNOW IT (PG-13) When their mutual friends die in a car accident, two singletons (Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel) find themselves thrust into the role of caregiver for their orphaned daughter. Director Greg Berlanti (a successful TV show vet from “Dawson’s Creek,” “Brothers and Sisters” and the much-missed “Everwood”) looks to snatch the crown of heartfelt hilarity from Judd Apatow using Apatow’s own Knocked Up queen. New writing duo Ian Deitchman and Kristin Rusk Robinson could be next big thing.

MONSTERS (R) Monsters envisions a world in which Mexico has become an alien quarantine zone. One man, U.S. journalist Andrew Kaulder (Scoot McNairy, In Search of a Midnight Kiss), must help tourist Samantha Wynden (Whitney Able, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane) find the safety offered by the U.S. border. Gareth Edwards wrote, directed and shot this buzz-inducing genre flick; the visual effects whiz completed the FX on his laptop. Sounds like Escape from District 9. I’m in.

MY SOUL TO TAKE (R) Wes Craven is back, but not in the much-publicized Scream 4. First up is this half generic/ half intriguing horror film about a thought-dead serial killer stalking seven children that had the temerity to be born on the day he was supposedly laid to rest. The cast is shockingly empty of familiar names and faces.

Good (New Nightmare), bad (The Hills Have Eyes Part II) or misguided (The People Under the Stairs), a film written and directed by a horror legend is always welcome.

MY TEHRAN FOR SALE (NR) 2009.

Terminally ill actress Marzieh (Marzieh Vafamehr) recounts her life while seeking political asylum through an unsympathetic government official. An artist forced underground by the repressive Iranian regime, Marzieh meets an Iranian-born Australian, Saman (Amir Chegini), who promises her a new life together in Adelaide. My Tehran for Sale is the first feature by poet-turnedfilmmaker Granaz Moussavi.

THE OTHER GUYS (PG-13) The newest comedy from star Ferrell and his Funny or Die partner, writer-director Adam McKay (Anchorman, Talladega Nights, Step Brothers), The Other Guys has a more singular focus than the last successful cop movie parody, 2007’s Hot Fuzz. Allen Gamble (Will Ferrell) and Terry Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg) are two desk jockeys overshadowed by New York City’s movie supercop duo of Danson and Highsmith (Dwayne Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson).

When Danson and Highsmith are suddenly sidelined, Gamble and Hoitz fill the void, going after rogue financier David Ershon (Steve Coogan).

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 2 (R) Katie’s back. Does it matter what this sequel to Oren Peli’s tiny budgeted fall blockbuster is about, so long as the movie is as chilly as the teaser? What worries me most is how you justify another found footage supernatural thriller without completely ripping off the original or coming off as horribly forced structurally? Director Tod Williams previously helmed the John Irving adaptation The Door in the Floor; writer Michael R. Perry has some genre experience from years in the TV biz (“Stephen King’s Dead Zone,” “Millennium,” “American Gothic” and the awesome “Eerie, Indiana”).

RED (PG-13) Retired black ops agent Frank Moses (Willis) is classified RED—Retired, Extremely Dangerous. To survive, he goes on the road, picking up his former teammates, all of whom have also been declared RED due to a mysterious early-’80s operation in Guatemala.

With the help of cancer-stricken Joe Matheson (Freeman), lunatic Marvin Boggs (Malkovich), wetworks-specialist-turned-Martha-Stewart Victoria (Mirren) and Frank’s new girlfriend, Social Security flunkie Sarah (MaryLouise Parker), Frank must outwit his pseudo-replacement, William Cooper (Karl Urban), and figure out who wants him dead. A good old, lighthearted romp of PG-13 violence and explosions.

SAW 3D (R) Uh, it’s another Saw, and after the last two, I don’t know how anyone still cares. Jigsaw stopped being interesting about the time he died, and I cannot stand Costas Mandaylor’s replacement. Lame director Kevin

Greutert and even lamer screenwriters, Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, continue to milk what once was an intriguing concept. I kind of hope Paranormal Activity 2 wipes the floor with this flick, sending the rest of the series directly to DVD where they rightfully belong (unless the 3D kicks ass).

SCREAM (R) 1996. A Nightmare on Elm Street’s Wes Craven and unknown screenwriter Kevin Williamson (he went on to create “Dawson’s Creek”) reinvigorated the stagnant horror sub-genre, the slasher flick, with this sharply written, timely cast surprise.

SECRETARIAT (PG) The subject of this biopic, the 1973 Triple Crown winner, is made pretty obvious by the title, but much of the focus will be on owner Penny Chenery (Diane Lane). Scripter Mike Rich really knows this touchyfeely biographical territory, having written Finding Forrester, The Rookie and Radio.

THE SOCIAL NETWORK (PG-13) At Harvard University in 2003, a computer science undergrad named Mark Zuckerberg is dumped by a student from BU. Fueled by anger and alcohol, he vengefully blogs about her and creates a one-night-only social zeitgeist called Facemash.com.

Acclaimed director Fincher lets words

and carefully cast actors carry the load, precisely aiming them and hitting bull’s-eye after bull’s-eye. The Social Network may not be the best film of the year when the calendar turns, but it will be damn close.

STEP UP (3D) (PG-13) Comic relief Moose (Adam G. Sevani) gets left in Paris after an international dance competition. Of course, he enters the underground street scene just in time for their contest, for which he enlists some of his stateside pals.

STONE (R) Edward Norton stars as convicted arsonist Gerald “Stone” Creeson, who convinces his wife, Lucetta (Milla Jovovich), to seduce his soon-to-retire parole officer, Jack Mabry (Robert De Niro), as part of his plan to get released. Even with Norton’s The Painted Veil director, John Curran, and the writer of Junebug, Angus MacLachlan, on board, this B-movie thriller sounds like something that typically airs late on premium cable. With Frances Conroy (“Six Feet Under”) as another put-upon wife.

THE TOWN (R) Ben Affleck’s second directorial effort (this one based off a tough Bostonian novel by Chuck Hogan rather than Dennis Lehane) is a very good film. This tough cops-androbbers flick conjures comparisons

to Heat, a good, if overrated Michael Mann film that The Town soundly trumps.

TOY STORY 3 (G) Toy Story 3 lacks the emotional heft (though parents of youngsters best bring the tissues) of recent Pixar masterpieces, but is every bit the satisfying curtain call for Andy’s toys.

A WOMAN, A GUN AND A NOODLE SHOP (R) A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop might be the most fascinating remake of which I have ever heard. House of Flying Daggers and Hero director Zhang Yimou refashions the Coen Brothers’ first film, Blood Simple, as a Chinese period piece.

YOU WILL MEET A TALL DARK STRANGER (R) Woody Allen’s first movie since he left New York for London, You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger concerns the marital woes of two couples—writer Roy (Josh Brolin) and Sally (Naomi Watts) and Sally‘s parents, Alfie (Anthony Hopkins) and Helena (Gemma Jones). I think Allen envisioned the film to be a romantic comedy, but it’s not very funny. Most of the scenes, have all the dynamism of a bad stage play. Maybe it’s time Woody moved to another city.

We love you long time!

movie pick Go Fish CATFISH (PG-13) When I first saw Catfish a few weeks ago at the Mall of Georgia, I dreaded having to review the surprising documentary. I loved the unknown little movie from first-time filmmakers Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost. I have been recommending it to everyone I meet. Catfish proves a hard sell without giving away the twist, but build up the mystery too much and you risk a disappointed, “That’s it?” upon its revelation.

answers. Everyone, including the audience, is surprised by what they find.

Why is Catfish so special? The documentary captures the Facebook zeitgeist (much like The Social Network) and merges it with The Blair Witch Project. Shot with handheld cameras, the film builds an atmosphere so terrifically tense you have to remind yourself that the footage is not found; these three city boys more than likely will survive, right?

Nev Schulman Most folks have heard nothing of Catfish and wonder what it’s about. I’ll tell you what I can. After Nev Schulman has one of his photographs printed in The New York Times, the 20-something New Yorker receives a painting in the mail. Soon, he strikes up a Facebook friendship with the painter, eight-year-old Abby, and her family, including her mom, Angela, and older sister, Megan. Eventually, Nev begins “dating” Megan via texts, Facebook and phone calls. One night Nev, his brother, Ariel, and their pal Henry begin to wonder if something else is going on with Megan. The trio decides to travel to Michigan to get some

perfectly scripted as every event seems, it all actually (apparently) happened.

Catfish is one of a kind. It’s obvious why big names like Andrew Jarecki (Capturing the Friedmans) and Brett Ratner signed on to produce. Once the central mystery is solved, Catfish holds little rewatching value, and I doubt we’re seeing the birth of some great new filmmakers in Schulman and Joost. Those criticisms do not detract from Catfish’s uniqueness. It is truly unlike any other movie you’ll see in theaters this year.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 27, 2010

Hidden Treasure?: If you drive out toward the J&J Flea Market, on Highway 441, you will eventually see a giant yellow banner promising the best lunch in Athens. It’s here, in these unprepossessing surroundings, that What’s Cooking restaurant (2456 Commerce Rd.) now resides. Some years ago, it was located in the spot at the corner of Hawthorne and Tallassee/ Oglethorpe that now houses Totonno’s Meatballs, and was reviewed in 2006. At that point, its name included the phrase “Mexican/American Restaurant,” which it no longer does, but the mix of cuisines remains.

Inside the warehouse building, you walk up to a window to order, then grab a seat at a plastic table to await the delivery of your food. Neither heat nor AC seems to be an option, and the TV set up nearby is tuned to the Weather Channel, a soporific drone. With hibiscus and other flowering plants blocking the view of cars zooming by, you do seem to be in an unusual but happy other world, and the analogy to Cali ‘N’ Tito’s often mentioned in connection with What’s Cooking seems apt. That said, if you’re going to brave a strange atmosphere with minimal creature comforts and make sure to have cash in your wallet (no credit cards), the food should really be worth it, right?

A dish of chicken mole consists of strips of chicken breast, no doubt taken straight from a bag, drowned in a not particularly subtle rendition of the famous brown sauce; in comparison, Tlaloc’s version of the same is full of nuance and multilayered, not to mention a good bit less expensive.

Fajitas with beef contain grilled pineapple among the vegetables, which is both delicious (if you like pineapple) and flavors everything on the plate (kind of a problem if you don’t). Corn tortillas are fine. The rice that comes on the side of most stuff is on the mushy side, and the refried beans have the same powdered parmesan topping and squiggle of white sauce (mayo?) that they did in the previous incarnation of the place—odd but not awful. Tacos and a number of shrimp dishes are on the menu as well, and the restaurant is open until early dinner every day but Monday.

Major Revamp: If you’re impressed with the exterior of the remodeling job Yoforia (1210 S. Milledge Ave.) has done on the former Jittery Joe’s in Five Points, just wait until you see the inside, which is clean, bright and light-years away from the cozy but increasingly dingy atmosphere of the former tenant. Are there too many frozen yogurt shops in Athens? Is this a trend sure to peter out in a year or two, leaving abandoned businesses? Or is it the wave of the future, designed to let us have our sweets without paying for them too much calorically and destined, therefore, for undying popularity among the denizens of Milledge Avenue? Probably a bit of both. …tart, yogurty Unlike Yoguri, Yoforia is a chain flavor… operation, and it has a slightly different way of doing business. A sign by the leftmost door details the process: sanitize your hands, fill your cup, add your toppings and, finally, take it up to the counter to be weighed and totaled. The format benefits those whose eyes aren’t bigger than their stomachs, and a good amount of yogurt can be had if you cover the bottom of the paper container (each ounce will cost you about 25 cents and 25 calories) and choose toppings that are light (crushed Oreos) rather than heavy (M&Ms). The cup itself is giant, which staff explains is so the toppings don’t fall out but which also seems to serve the purpose of encouraging the overeager to end up paying $10 for dessert. Smaller containers would probably create more problems but would also feel less wasteful.

I’m a big fan of the tart, yogurty flavor of Yoguri’s offerings, which are unmistakably acidophilicious, but Yoforia is smart enough to play it both ways, labeling flavors as tart or not. If you’re more of a TCBY yogurt person, you’ll find plenty to make you happy, from dark chocolate to peanut butter. Even the tart flavors, plain excepted, can pass muster with those who don’t like yogurt. The self-service aspect is both a boon and, when the shop gets busy, an annoyance, as kids flit from station to station, sampling this and that. I’d like to see one more thing added to the list of instructions, asking folks to step back from the levers while contemplating. Yoforia is open from noon until late every day and seems to be shooting for a second location in downtown Athens soon.

Home for Dinner: Few places west of Lumpkin Street (or, hell, all of downtown) are as popular with both the skinny jeans crowd and the UGA sun visor crowd as The Max Canada. Now, these two worlds can collide much earlier each Thursday as the West Washington Street bar will feature live music that night from 6–9 p.m. Promoter Greg Slattery (Shallow Palace) is in charge of this whole deal, and the first show happens this Thursday (Oct. 28), featuring Greg and George of Shallow Palace and Providence, RI duo VulGarrity. Upcoming shows will include Yo Soybean, Nuclear Spring, South Carolina groups The Blueroots and The Restoration and something involving some members of A PostWar Drama. If you want your band to get in on this action, then just drop Slattery a note via gregslattery@gmail. com and let him know.

Dress Up; Go Out: The Girls Rock Camp of Athens will host a fundraiser at Little Kings Shuffle Club on Friday, Oct. 29. The event, billed as “Monster Mash,” will feature karaoke, a costume contest and more. While you’re there, give a pat on the back to Trish Scurry Charles-Ryan Barber

Bambara (of the band Creepy) and congratulate her on her new position as program director for the camp. For more information on this and other Girls Rock Camp stuff, please see www. girlsrockathens.org.

Tough Love: Local rockers Bambara just released a free EP, and it’s available over at www.bambara.bandcamp.com, featuring two remixes of previously released songs and a cover of David Bowie’s 1983 hit “Modern Love.” The whole affair was likely much more fun for the band than it will be for anyone else. The remixes are courtesy of Feral Youth (AKA Chris Howe) and heRobust (AKA Hayden Kramer), and each strips away so much of the band’s musical identity via their dance mixes that if I didn’t tell you this was Bambara you wouldn’t know. Throwing in the cover, which is decent but needless, really only serves to justify the admittedly clever title of 2 Remixes 1 Bowie. Certainly, your mileage may vary, but considering there’s a finite number of mouse clicks you can perform in a lifetime, one of them would be better spent downloading the

band’s magnificent Dog Ear Days six-song album available at the same site.

Eat to the Beat: The UGA chapter of Nourish International, an inspirationally creative organization dedicated to combating global poverty, is hosting a series of “Sidewalk Symphonies” on Tuesday evenings this fall.

What happens is: a local band performs an acoustic set outside a locally owned Athens restaurant that doesn’t typically feature music.

The restaurant then donates a percentage of that evening’s sales to the chapter. So far, the group has hosted three shows and has seven more scheduled before the end of 2010.

Upcoming Sidewalk Symphonies will feature performances from Werewolves, Mad Whisky Grin, Co Co Ri Co, Nutritional Peace, Theo Hilton (AKA Theo “Zumm”) and more. For more information on Nourish International, please see www.nourishinternational.org.

Stop, Look, Listen: When Man or Astroman? returns to Athens Nov. 5 at the 40 Watt there’ll be a special promotion for the newly released book Touchable Sound: A Collection of 7-Inch Records from the USA. The book’s cover price is $45, but if you purchase it at the show you can get it for $35. Plus, it’ll be bundled with a limited edition (300 copies) Man or Astroman?

7-inch that was made just for this occasion.

The introduction to the book, compiled by Brian Roettinger and featuring essays by several notable figures of the independent record scene, has a piece written

by Henry Owings (Chunklet magazine) who has released more than a handful of records himself, has amassed a sizable and noteworthy collection of 7-inch records over the past couple of decades, and is as knowledgeable a dude as you’re likely to find on the subject. The only reason I’m telling you this info so early is so you can get your folding money together if this sounds like it’s up your alley. For more information on the book, please see www.soundscreendesign.com.

Stream Away: Graham Ulicny (Reptar) has posted some new demos of his project Thick Paint over at www.myspace.com/thickpaint.

About half the tracks sound pretty much like a slower, less enthused Reptar, but some of the others have a couple of inspired moments. In any case, they’re worth a listen. Self-described as “boner jams from the end of the Earth,” one can only assume this is a new-found identity as the artwork for Thick Paint’s first EP, featuring an au naturel Ulicny, clearly promises nothing of the sort.

What’s Next for the Next to Last Festival?

Event Highlights, Changes and Future Plans W

ill Donaldson hasn’t had enough time to pick out a Halloween costume this year or even let the irony seep in. “I haven’t come up with anything awesome yet, unfortunately. Maybe I’ll be able to take my head off and hold it in my hand, something like that,” he says.

The maestro of this year’s Next to Last Festival took some time to regroup after the not-so-stellar 2007 edition. He spent that time in Brooklyn and New Orleans where he helped organize the New Orleans Jazz Festival, and now he is back with a new Next to Last Festival that’s twice as large as its first incarnation in every aspect except the burden. “It’s an entirely different thing altogether using venues instead of a stage that you own. It helps because you already have the owners of the venues kind of behind you at least, and having it in town is a much better incentive for people just to walk down the street and go, instead of driving out to nowhere.”

Coordinating all the venues and production comes naturally to Donaldson. He was the former assistant technical director at the UGA Department of Dance and, along with Secret Squirrel ringleader Mercer West, he has booked his share of local artists. It’s just the green stuff that gives him headaches. “Money is always the hardest thing. Just figuring out how you’re going to use it chronologically—for instance, bringing in ESG and Van Dyke Parks, who are just in completely different financial ballparks than the other bands. [When the event was previously held outdoors], there was way more to worry about like parking, insurance and personal property that I had no jurisdiction over. This one is just so much easier.”

This one also has serious potential to dominate your Halloween weekend. Melting Point and New Earth are the epicenters for this five-day extravaganza, with two stages at each venue, giving visual artists a virtual blank canvas to hang paintings or convert into installations. The other venues are just as enticing. “The Botanical Gardens people were amazing;

Next to Last Festival Schedule:

they oddly enough were just really excited about doing something that would get people who weren’t always at the Gardens to come out and see it. The Seney-Stovall Chapel was just beyond simple to set up.”

He expects the show at Seney-Stovall to sell out, namely because it can only hold 150 people, but more importantly because it’s the site for Halloween LIVE! Picture all the best parts about a Rocky Horror screening—the theatrics and atmosphere—minus the questionable sexual encounters and partial nudity, and this is what you end up with. The 1978 classic is projected on a huge screen, beneath which are voice actors who dub over each character’s dialogue. A four-piece band scores the film while live foley artists do all they can to bring the images to life through sound effects.

If you end up drinking one too many cups of “pumpkin juice” and can’t remember half of what you witnessed, Donaldson and audio/visual guru Julian Bozeman have that covered, too. “Julian has organized a couple of people to set up three or four cameras at each venue. He’s actually going to set up an old-school TV camera mixing station and mix the video live to VHS, so it’s just a matter of syncing up the audio.” To get an idea of what said documentary may look like, look up the Party Party Partners “Kickstarter” video; just make sure you don’t try to watch it in 1080p.

The festival’s future is still in limbo. It all depends on how well it goes this week. Donaldson says, “If I could convince people to let me do balcony shows downtown, that would be crazy and cool. I think the Jittery Joe’s beanery is a cool place to have a show, with its cut-out section next to it on Broad Street. But I hope it becomes a sustainable thing that we all work at, and I’m sort of a transient guy; not saying I’m leaving, but it doesn’t have to stay in Athens.”

Next to Last Festival Headliner

ESG

“Everyone who heard the Velvet Underground started a band.” —old rock and roll cliché “Sample credits don’t pay our bills.” —ESG

W

here does the creative impulse come from? When young girls in the throes of Beatlemania screamed back at their heroes, is it possible that they were subconsciously trying to emulate the sound of extremely loud guitar amps? It’s fair to say that a large chunk of the collective motivation behind creativity is a desire for inclusion: you see something you like and you want in.

You want to be pulled onstage like Courtney Cox; you want to be as cool as the person who made your heart race like only an adolescent’s can. You want to pass that feeling along. So you pick up a guitar. Or a sampler.

“I was PO’d, actually. I’m not a big fan of samples,” says Renee Scroggins. Renee is the singer of ESG, and she is more than qualified to have a firm position on the topic of samples. According to the website Whosampled. com, ESG, a funk band formed by four teenaged sisters from the Bronx, have been sampled over 50 times. Specifically the song “UFO,” which has appeared in various forms on songs from Public Enemy, Big Daddy Kane, Gang Starr, the Beastie Boys, Notorious B.I.G., EMPD and Scarface—often several times over per artist. The song’s horror-movie guitar feedback even pops up in a Nine Inch Nails song. Simply put, “UFO” is a go-to sample for hip-hop. “Actually, I still don’t like sampling, but business-wise, as long as they come and they license us correctly, I have no problem,” says Scroggins. “But other than that, no, I don’t like that. I don’t like sampling. I think people should create their own things.”

The Scroggins sisters—Renee, Valerie, Marie and Deborah—were given a set of musical instruments for Christmas as young girls growing up in the early 1980s. The band started out doing covers and, of course, emulating their heroes. “James Brown is a major influence on us and the kind of music we write,” says Renee. “But we listen to Motown, we listen to gospel, we listen to jazz, things to that effect.” With their mother’s encouragement, they began creating their own things, or rather, their own “thing”: the ESG sound.

Taking James Brown’s tightest breaks and breaking them down to even barer elements, most of ESG’s classic songs are just drums, percussion, bass and Renee’s brassy lead vocals, calling and finding coy responses from her sisters. After a few talent shows, the band took up management help from 99 Records’ Ed Bahlman, who had a novel idea: he booked them at punk shows.

“We played downtown Manhattan, at that time, the punk-rock scene,” Renee says. “They were dancing, but coming from the Bronx, we had never really seen a punk rock audience before, and we were like, ‘Wow.’ But they liked

the music, so it didn’t really matter where we came from or what our background was.”

ESG were making music that just happened to be at the forefront of New York downtown avant-garde: deconstructed funk as blueprint for post-punk. Whereas their contemporaries such as Liquid Liquid were attacking dance music from a bohemian perspective, ESG were just playing what they felt was cool. Many felt the same way, and they found themselves surrounded by unlikely supporters: Tony Wilson of Factory Records took an immediate liking to the group and hooked them up with legendary producer Martin Hannett (Joy Division, Buzzcocks). The resultant recordings were perfectly sparse and contain classic jams “You’re No Good,” “Erase You” and “Moody.” Soon, the Scroggins family was opening shows for Public Image, Ltd., Gang of Four, The Clash, and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.

The band has been in and out of activity throughout the years, but its influence has been paramount and remarkably broad.

Beyond the fact that rappers have been emceeing over “UFO” for over 20 years, ESG’s minimalist take on James Brown has been a template for countless underground rock musicians. Josh McKay of Athens’ own Abandon the Earth Mission counts himself as one such fan; following the end of his Macha project, he teamed up with onetime Elf Power drummer Aaron Wegelin, vocalist Emily Simpson, and of Montreal’s Bryan “BP Helium” Poole to form Tiny Sticks, an ESG tribute band. McKay’s reasoning behind the act was as simple as it was personal: “The desire to feel that music as closely as we could feel it. To have our own instant perfect party. To be the vehicle for that kind of gathering… [using the] mindbending effect that those grooves seem to have on people, including us.”

ESG rarely play the United States anymore, preferring to tour Europe. Renee has actually been living in Georgia for eight years, and this is their first show in her home state since the move. Additionally, this line-up will feature two generations of ESG, with Renee’s daughter Christelle on guitar and Valerie’s daughter Nicole on bass.

“It’s really fantastic that they’re coming here. Beyond words, I’m so excited,” says McKay. “There’s something about a band that brings you out of your physical inhibitions— that just has this infectiousness that sets a band way apart, and Athens is really lucky to get them.”

Van Dyke Parks Next to Last Festival Headliner W hen the lineup of the Next to Last Fest was announced, the collective oohs and ahhs of music fans at the gathering of talent were audible, as was the muttering about the headliner Van Dyke Parks.

For the musically uninformed, Parks is an anomaly, and that’s exactly the way that he likes it.

“I have enjoyed the blessings of anonymity for so long that it’s easy. I’m not seeking fame,” says Parks. Parks’ quote may be misleading, because for nearly half of a century his work has been a faint rumbling in the distance of the collective musical consciousness which betrays his own idea of being a piano-wielding Salinger concocting sonatas in his Southern California lair.

“My modus operandi is arranging. It’s how I shoved my kids through school, and it is monastic. It’s alone. A lot of it is anonymous work, and it’s unheralded. Why isn’t it heralded—these things that I’ve thought of as big emotional pieces of music? The fact is that the music was mixed with horse hooves; they were around actors’ lines. They were between the bullet shots. They were felt and not heard,” says Parks.

Those pieces of music that were felt and not heard have been collaborations with bands as diverse as Little Feat, Joanna Newsom, Harry Nilsson and U2. While his work makes for an impressive resumé, these collaborations and work-for-hire dalliances aren’t what get music nerds in a lather about the prospect of Van Dyke Parks coming to the Classic City; it’s the album that was never released that sends shockwaves to their extremities.

Parks gained fame as the lyricist on The Beach Boys’ aborted 1967 masterpiece SMiLE, an album that became legendary after it was shelved for nearly 40 years (before head Beach Boy Brian Wilson released a new version of the album in 2004). The album’s scrapping became the subject of music industry gossip, complete with tales of infighting within The Beach Boys and Wilson’s own deteriorating mental health.

Parks’ role as co-songwriter and head cheerleader of the album is something that he tries to avoid today.

“I’ve always thought of [SMiLE] as less of a mural than a fine engraving or stamped piece of American musical validity because of the courage that it took to create it and nothing less. The reason that I think that the music has endured is not because of the entertainment of psychological problems surrounding the work, but because the work is damn good.

I really believe that. It is unvarnished emotive audacity. It hangs itself on an effort—as clumsy as it is—to make something in which everyone can identify,” says Parks.

Being famous for an album that wasn’t released may play into Parks’ shunning of fame

credo, but it’s hardly something that pays the bills, and that doesn’t bother him at all.

“I’d like to say that it made me a fortune and that there’s a swimming pool out back of my house because of it, but I cannot say that. That wasn’t my goal. My goal is not to be a man of property but really to stand solid against the judgment of a later time. I would like to think that I’ve done something that continued to be of service and to strengthen human resolve. I know that I’m not finding the cure to cancer here, but I’m so damn serious about this thing called entertainment.”

Entertainment is so serious to Parks that in what most of his peers refer to as their golden years—a time spent touring the country in RVs and taking photos in front of road signs— he is instead embarking on his first-ever tour to share the untold tale and idiosyncratic nature of his life’s work, which ranges in sound from Gershwin-style ballads to bold swaths of ‘60s psychedelia. Even the prospect of a month spent on the road is something that is greeted with joy instead of dread.

“Now I get a chance to confess my love for music in small rooms. I’m not talking Madonna here; I’m talking tertiary markets, my favorite being the Grand Rapids Ladies Literary Society Clubhouse. I’m 67, and I get to play the Grand Rapids Ladies Literary Society Clubhouse! I’m in heaven,” says Parks.

For his first tour, Parks isn’t dreaming of sold-out halls chanting his name and lighters going on in time for the big-ballad crescendo, rather, he’d like to see something a bit more idealistic.

“What I want to do is to see a whole bunch of people collide in a room, be lifted from a planet and walk away, somehow be enlightened, agitated and in a place that I can’t predict. That’s what I’d like to happen,” says Parks.

Whether the cosmic game of billiards featuring audience members as the pool balls happens or not, the near-septuagenarian Parks has no desire to go gently into the good night. Instead, he is leading a charge to remain active and vibrant until his days are through.

“The reason why I came into this thing when I was a brunette is the same as why I go out on tour now: there may be snow on the roof, but a fire burns within.”

WUOG’s Halloween Party: Technically, Next to Last Fest put its stamp on this event, too, but this is WUOG’s annual ball, and it’s got a packed lineup that includes Brooklyn garage rockers Big Eyes and locals Dead Dog, Sleeping Friends, Co Co Ri Co and Big Hug Little Kiss. Experimental noise act Geisterkatzen (who are in habit of wearing masks outside of Halloween, too), have a special performance planned in which the band provides the live soundtrack for a silent film. The bar will be open to ages 18 and up tonight. (Go Bar, Wednesday 27)

Howe posted a sample of his Halloween mix.

It’s full of high-energy Top 40, ‘80s favorites, hip-hop and indie. You can also find the Zombie tunes and some of his bumping mashups on that site as well. As extra incentive, the first 50 guests to his upcoming shows will score a free download card, so you can take the Feral Youth party home with you after the bars have closed. (40 Watt, Friday 29 and 283 Bar, Saturday 30) Mayhem at the Manor: The self-proclaimed “biggest Halloween party around” features The Rattlers, Radiolucent and their rabid fan base.

(Bad Manor, Saturday 30) Zombie Halo: Local rockers Hola Halo transformed! This local trio only comes out twice a year, bringing to you a staggering gumbo

A Special Concert to Raise Awareness of Death: What is Halloween without covers? Musicians like to put on masks and role play sometimes, too. While Next to Last has its fair share of tribute acts (My Bloody Valentine, The Ramones, Prince, Captain Beefheart), you won’t find more “star” power this week than at the the fifth annual Shut-Ups Halloween show. The ShutUps will function as the house backing band as “Ozzy Osbourne,” “Katy Perry,” “Brian Wilson,” “Mike Love,” “Olivia Newton John,” “Frank Black,” “Cher,” “Adam Ant,” DJ Feral Youth (on right) dressed as Mighty Boosh character Old Gregg for “Michael Jackson” and “Tina Halloween last year.

Turner” each take the stage for a song. You’ll recognize the local talent behind these impersonators, of ‘50s/’60s-style rock and roll and punk with but you’ll have to wait for the show to find songs about… zombies! (Saturday 30, Flicker) out who is on deck! Opening the night is Dude Looks Like a Lady, an Aerosmith tribute band Spooky Suits: Yes! There is at least one featuring local dude Clay Leverett. (Caledonia awesome show scheduled for Halloween Lounge, Friday 29) day!

If you want to do your trick or treating with live music, here are your best bets.

THE CALENDAR!

Wild Rumpus Parade and Spectacle Downtown Athens All Hallow’s Eve is a night for reckless abandon, good-natured trickery and all-around fun. In Athens, it’s a night when everyday citizens can don lavish costumes and fulfill their wild inner urges—a day when acting outside the norm is fully embraced.

Local musician Timi Conley and photographer and label owner Daniel Peiken had just that concept in mind last year when they created the Wild Rumpus Parade and Spectacle.

“Athens Halloween has always delivered the goods,” Conley says. “The whole town dresses up and just goes nuts. I put two and two together and thought, ‘This could be our Mardi Gras.’” The parade, which debuted in downtown Athens last Halloween, strives to harness the creative artistic energy of Athens and combine it with the rowdiness of Halloween. Conley compares it to self-expression festival Burning Man and encourages everyone to take part.

“The Wild Rumpus is going to bring folks to downtown Athens who normally wouldn’t be going there,” says Peiken. He points out that families with children will enjoy the parade and that local businesses who sponsor the event will benefit from the extra exposure. After last year’s success, Conley decided to approach Athens city officials with plans to make the parade an authorized event. “There was absolutely no resistance [from city officials],” Conley says. “They see the potential in it, and they see what it can do for the town.” Participants will meet on the corner of Pulaski and Clayton streets at 9 p.m. and split up into brigades, depending on costume. The parade will begin around 9:30 p.m. and will weave through downtown before ending at the patio of Little Kings for an after-party featuring The Orkids, Kite to the Moon and DJ Mahogany. Police escorts will perform a rolling closure to ensure the safety of participants, and bicycles, roller skates and skateboards are all permitted. Floats and vehicles are also allowable in the parade as long as they register in advance. For more information, please visit www.wildrumpus.org.

THE CALENDAR!

Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears, J-Roddy Walston & the Business 40 Watt Club There’s got to be a little bit of self-awareness when you’re truckin’ in a genre that’s decidedly retro. Sharon Jones Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears & the Dap-Kings, for instance, can be an easy touchstone due to their similar choice to investigate classicist soul and funk. But while fiery Ms. Jones and her outfit are another terrific band who put on a damn good show, there’s a slight catholic leaning towards their lyrics and arrangements.

Austin, TX, gang Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears feel no such conservative binding, and while the tunes are muscular, energetic R&B numbers—heavy on the rhythm, heavy on the blues—the lyrics flirt with eternal woes (no cash, too many exes) in a decidedly contemporary way. Lewis’ songs and performances sometimes wink knowingly, but at this point, isn’t that a little more reasonable? Track down a copy of last year’s full-length Tell ‘Em What Your Name Is and you’ve got your answer.

Lewis & the Honeybears have been mischievous since the get-go; the band’s selftitled debut EP was an efficient four tracks, but there is power, wit and charisma packed into tunes like “Bitch I Love You” and “Cousin Randy,” which find the common ecstatic moment between James Brown and Richard Pryor. Funky organ, punchy horns, dudes hittin’ the high notes and soul slathered all over the soundboard—it’s a fun show first and foremost that the Honeybears work. It’s irreverent, it’s good and here’s an arguable analogy, but whatever: the band is doing for R&B and soul what bands like The Pogues did for traditional Irish tunes, or a ton of bearded (sometimes anarchist, sometimes boring) bands are doing for American folk. J-Roddy Walston & the Business punk things up in their own way as the opening act. [Chris Hassiotis]

Here's what Athens is saying about

GWEN O'LOONEY...

Few realize Gwen O’Looney came to Athens as State Coordinator of Students, Teachers, Educators and Parents for Schools. Under the Kellogg Foundation, Gwen introduced Clarke County Schools to an award winning high school health curriculum. Gwen will be a Mayor who builds partnerships for public schools.

PAT CLIFTON, Former Principal of Hilsman Middle School



Gwen O’Looney was the big boss while I was in DFCS foster care, but she cared about me. Through the years we have stayed friends. I want her to be Mayor because I know she is for the people and will make sure everyone is helped by government.

NAKITA JONES, Bonnie Lane resident



She is head and shoulders above the other candidates in sheer knowledge of how our government works and where it needs to go to confront our current problems.

Gwen just has that infectious enthusiasm – passion for Athens and making it work better and the nuts and bolts knowledge of how to go about it.

PETE MCCOMMONS, Editor of Flagpole



A lot of customers are nice, but Gwen O’Looney stands out because she treats every person with respect and listens. When she found out I was a gardener, she came to Green Acres with plants. I want Gwen to be Mayor because she doesn’t just talk, she goes to work and gets it done.

ELCE RUSSELL, Retail Seafood Manager



At our first encounter, Gwen was planting flowers outside Jittery Joe’s – that’s our Mayor?! – we knew we had moved to a special town. Next, she is leading a bike ride for safe cycling. Her capability for leadership by example is extraordinary, and she embodies the generous, friendly spirit of Athens.

DOROTHY & WALTER O’NIELL, Owners, Environmental Associates, LLC



I met Gwen O’Looney ten years ago organizing a fundraiser for AIDS Athens. Gwen embodies everything I love about Athens - the sense of community; the willingness to roll up your sleeves and help your neighbors; the love of music and art that makes Athens so unique. Her considerable energy, intellect, and passion are what we need.

MICHAEL PETTY, Assistant Public Defender



I learned just how well Gwen understands the workings and nuances of our government while serving with her on the citizens SPLOST advisory committee, which touched on so many facets of ACC government operations and finance. I had known of her commitment to public service for years, and when I saw how smart and thoughtful Gwen is, she became my choice for Mayor.

reality check

Weekly Specials: Chicken Verde Taco Breast of chicken is lime marinated, grilled and served with Tijuana green sauce, cilantro and onion in a flour tortilla.

Matters Of The Heart And Loins I’ve met the most wonderful man: he’s funny, hardworking, attractive and caring. We both like each other very much. The problem is, a mutual friend of ours likes him very much as well. She’s too afraid of getting hurt to do anything about it, however. I know how she feels, he knows how she feels (I point blank asked him; his reply: “Awkward”), but she has no idea how we feel towards each other. It would be incredibly hurtful to her if we were to pursue an open romantic relationship, and neither one of us would want to do that. Then again, I haven’t met anyone like him before, and it’s incredibly unfair of her to lay claim on a man she’s too terrified to pursue—especially when we fit so well together. I, to be frank, am in love with him in the crying, heart-swelling, can-spend-days-lying together sense. She’s been such a good friend to the both of us, though, in unrepayable ways, that I really don’t know what to do. Help me?

Wants to Hold Hands in Public I think the best thing to do is start by exploring the relationship without telling her. After all, you may find out after a few dates or a few weeks that you are better as friends, in which case telling her would cause a lot of drama over something that ultimately isn’t going anywhere. That would be silly. If things do work out, you are eventually going to have to tell her. Probably you should be the one, since having it broken to her by him or with him present would compound the pain with the embarrassment of knowing that he knows how she feels.

She will probably be upset. She might even be mad, but ultimately if you are all friends and adults, she will get over it and your lives will go on. You need to be ready for her anger, though, and just shut up and take it. Don’t respond angrily— you’re the winner here, remember—and don’t say anything you might regret. Let her know that you are sorry that she’s hurt but that you really love him, and tell her that you hope she can find a way to forgive you.

She probably will forgive you, eventually. If not, at least you know you were honest and you did your best.

I am pretty sure that my son is gay. I don’t want to go into the reasons why I think this for fear that I might sound stupid, but he is still very young (grade school), and I am sure that even if he is/will be, he probably doesn’t even know it yet. I have plenty of gay friends and I have been around gay people my entire adult life, so let’s just say I get it. My wife and I are both pretty open-minded and we have talked about it and neither one of us would feel weird about it if he were gay, but we also aren’t sure

how to proceed. So, my question is, how and when do we let him know that this is OK? We don’t ever want him to be uncomfortable with who he is, but we also don’t want to necessarily out him too soon or push him in any direction if we are reading it wrong. A little help here, please?

Uncertain I assume that if you have gay friends and have been around gay people your whole adult life, then your son probably knows some of them, too (?). If not, he should.

The best way you can be supportive without being pushy is to simply be a tolerant person and teach your son the same values. You don’t have to actually say the words “If you were gay, that would be OK with me” to let your son know that it would be OK with you. Be vocal about your belief in equality and fairness. Make sure your son knows what gay means and that it is just as normal as straight. If you are open to talking about this stuff (it doesn’t have to be “a talk” with him, but you could talk about the myriad of political issues surrounding gays right now while your son is present and make sure he knows how you feel), then he is more likely to come to you when he has questions.

Also, you should check out Dan Savage’s fantastic “It Gets Better Project” (http://www. youtube.com/user/itgetsbetterproject). Maybe make sure your son has access to those videos. You’re doing a great job so far, U. Keep up the good work.

Puerco Horneado Pork loin is rubbed with spices and roasted, then smothered in Eddie’s roasted tomatillo gravy and served with ancho mashed potatoes.

Tilapia with Polenta A fillet of tilapia is seasoned, sautéed and served with fried polenta, spicy red bell pepper sauce and a garnish of blanched carrots.

334 Prince Ave. 706-353-3890

A good friend of mine recently confided that he is into cross-dressing. I am fine with it, but I’m not sure how to proceed. He wants my help with shopping and makeup and stuff, which is great, but I don’t know if he is planning on showing up to work in dresses from now on or what.

What’s Next?

Take him shopping.

Help him dress himself. Be honest and opinionated, and tell him what looks good and what doesn’t and why. I hate to generalize, but guys are usually not very good at this stuff, so help him out.

As far as the makeup is concerned, you should take him someplace that you know is going to be comfortable putting it on a man. I suggest a MAC store, but call around and make sure.

The last thing you need is to plop him down in front of somebody who treats it as a joke.

You could also look into the drag scene around town, talk to some queens and find out where they shop, etc. And then just ask your friend what his intentions are. He may not know yet, but don’t be afraid to talk about it, because the whole point is that he started talking to you about it, so obviously he trusts you. Don’t treat it as something weird and it won’t be as weird.

everyday people Randy Watkins, Umpire As a college baseball umpire, Randy Watkins commutes up and down the Eastern Seaboard and huffs it across the Mississippi into Arkansas to call games for the ACC, SEC, Atlantic Sun and Southern athletic conferences. He wears out tire treads and clocks sky-miles six months out of the year, hopping from one college town hotel room to another, but his roots are thick in Athens. Back in the 1970s, Watkins started on and eventually captained the first football squad fielded at Cedar Shoals High School. After a three-year stint at Savannah State, he returned home to finish off a physical education degree, with a minor in psychology, at UGA. On top of his busy officiating schedule, he put in 24 years at Levolor Kirsch, managing production at their Olympic Drive window-treatment manufacturing facility. When the company scuttled its Athens assembly line, shifting focus towards customer service, Watkins forged out on his own, starting a window blinds and coverings sales and installation business, More Than Blinds.

Flagpole: How did you first get into officiating?

Randy Watkins: I had transferred to Georgia, and I had gotten married. I wanted to make some extra money, but I didn’t want to flip pizzas or anything. A buddy of mine had

taught how to position yourself in an argument, how not to make eye contact with fans, how to answer questions. The bottom line is no matter what is said to you, you’ve got to take it in and move forward. You can’t have the last word. You can’t be concerned about that. And, ultimately, I make the final decision anyway.

FP: What kind of person shouldn’t become an umpire?

RW: If you put on this uniform and think you’re the man because you put it on, those people don’t need to be doing this. My personal feeling is, as far as officiating now, this uniform has humbled me. I realize that it’s not about me; it’s about the players and the coaches. When I’m gone, this game is going to keep going on. The good umpires are very, very humble.

FP: How do you relax?

RW: Two ways. I pray before every game. Having my creator there with me gives me a sense of calmness. To relieve stress, I just realize that I am very blessed to be where I am, and I just can’t carry [stress] with me. To do this, you’ve got to be able to take mistakes, problems, put them in your pocket and move forward. Before a game, I’ll go walk through Wal-Mart.

I have a big thing about pens. It’s a big stress reliever for me. It’s like a safety blanket. I buy my pens and I scribble a little bit.

FP: What do you scribble?

RW: Just mental notes. On the back of my indicator where I keep the count, I put notes on the back of there. I have a scripture and notes: focus, pay attention.

RW: No, but Office Max loves me.

FP: You were one of the first Cedar Shoals Jaguars. I went there. Tell me about growing up in Athens.

RW: People in Athens love each other. They want to see each other do well. We have a certain swagger.

There’s a lot of great people that came out of this city. There’s a lot that’s expected of you. A lot more than people think. You can’t be average. You’ve got to be an overachiever. Personally, I credit John Waters over at Cedar Shoals. I get emotional over what he did for me. He basically took a group of guys from the Eastside of Athens who didn’t have a football team.

And he didn’t just develop a program: he developed men. And most of them have done very well in life.

FP: What’s the standout baseball game for you?

RW: All the rivalries are great, but it would have to be Georgia-Georgia Tech at Turner Field—27,000 people. My grandfather grew up in Athens; I got an opportunity to do things that my grandfather never had the chance to do. I’ve got to stand and be in places my grandparents never got the opportunity to stand and be.

been officiating for years, and he recommended that I do youth baseball. So, I started in Oconee County 26 years ago, enjoyed it and made some pretty decent money part-time. So, a friend of mine recommended that I go to umpiring school; he thought I’d do a really good job because I was a former athlete: I looked good on the field.

FP: How do you develop the thick skin you need to be an umpire?

RW: It’s like any other training you would do. Not everyone can work at certain levels. There are a lot of people who don’t have it, and they don’t make it very far. When everything else is going crazy around you, you’ve got to be the calm one, the one that’s under control, who understands that this is a game and this is how it’s going to be played. You will be yelled at.

You will be screamed at. You will be talked about and criticized; that’s a part of it. You’ve got to block it out and not let it get to you. I’ve seen people who let it eat on them. We are

FP: So, your grandparents are proud that you were there?

RW: My grandfather is probably the biggest Georgia fan that ever walked the face of the earth. He loved Wally Butts and Vince Dooley more than he loved my grandmother. He never went in the stadium. He always watched the games from the railroad tracks—8 a.m. in the morning, and he would stay there all day long. At that time, there were very few African Americans who went into the stadium. When they closed the stadium in, I was a student at Georgia. I had tickets, I had good seats. And he said, “I don’t want to go in.” Not that he felt betrayed and didn’t want to see the growth [of the stadium]. That was just his place. Some people fish or hunt; my grandfather’s place was to sit on those tracks and watch good Georgia football. He died in 1987, so he probably watched from the ‘30s until about 1985. To see where he came from, and then for me to have the opportunities I’ve had, that’s what makes this country great.
