Our mayor has done nothing to make anybody mad; she has done absolutely nothing. That’s why she has only token opposition going into the last few days of qualifying. Barring some mystery candidate, everybody can support Nancy. Everybody can jump on her bandwagon—give her money, put up her yard signs, endorse her. It’s win-win for everybody, especially everybody who might benefit from being a friend of Nancy.

Really, opportunities like this rarely come along in politics. Usually, people who want to be in good with the mayor are forced into an agonizing decision over whom to support, but this way, there is a clean and foolproof choice. You can give your money and your endorsement gladly, because it’s a sure thing. Why don’t we do it this way every election? Those contested races are so hard on everybody, costing so much in effort and money and hurt feelings. This way is just so much better. We could agree right now that one of Nancy’s new best friends on the commission will succeed her, and we won’t have to worry about a mayoral election again for the next 13 years.

Thank You Athens

Gifts for the Soul & Shelter ďƒŻ facebook feedback ďƒ° “I am a great-great-grandchild of Charles and Effie Rowland and spent many summer days and nights at the Beech Haven Summer House. It is truly a treasure to be preserved, maintained and cherished.â€? — Beth Poland Shugg We could even pretty much extend this election principle to the commission races. We’re practically doing that already this year. Of the five seats up for election, there’s opposition in only two, and by the close of qualifying on Friday, that could well be only one contested seat. Sure, the Republicans messed up and put the contentious Boulevard and Cobbham areas into District 3 and caused a fight there, but we wouldn’t be having that election if the incumbent hadn’t decided not to run again.

So, we’re going to have a non-partisan election on May 20 with probably only one contested race, two at most. Of course, there are still a couple of days this week until qualifying closes at noon on Friday, so there can always be surprises, but not likely. And by the time the new government is inaugurated eight months after the election, we will not only have a consensus mayor, but she will have a consensus commission working with her. She will have a majority closely attuned to her common-sense political philosophy, which holds that it’s best for the government to do little, because business knows what needs to be done and will do it if left alone.

No wonder Nancy is so popular. There are plenty of people who know what is best for Athens and best for themselves, too, and they certainly don’t need the mayor telling them what they can and cannot do; Nancy understands that. Government speaks for the people, and the people can be messy.

That’s another reason Nancy is so popular. She doesn’t really have a lot of powers as mayor, but one she does have is controlling what goes on the agenda to be considered at commission meetings. If it’s not on the agenda, it won’t be considered. She can avoid so many messy debates and hurt feelings by keeping controversial matters off the agenda.

It’s the best of all possible worlds, and we have the best of all possible mayors. Some of you would still like for your local government to be actively engaged in guiding development downtown, calming traffic on arteries like Prince Avenue, helping to keep the Atlanta Highway viable, etc., but don’t worry.

The mayor has a lot of friends, and they know what to do.

Heard Runs: While pointing out other political candidates in the room, Carter mentioned former Athens state Rep. Keith Heard, who later confirmed that he will run for state insurance commissioner. “Georgia has a lot of opportunities, and we’re missing those opportunities playing politics with the lives of the citizens of Georgia,” Heard said.

Incumbent Ralph Hudgens—who has proudly claimed to be “obstructing” the

Affordable Care Act—is doing constituents a disservice by not helping them navigate the law, Heard said. “We don’t get to choose which laws we abide by and which ones we don’t,” he said.

Heard has been in the insurance business for 36 years and served 20 years in the legislature until Spencer Frye ousted him in 2012.

Denson’s Endorsements: Et tu, Hamby?

Mayor Nancy Denson released an impressive list of endorsements on her campaign website last week that includes former Gov. Roy Barnes and many other elected officials. A few names were surprising, like Athens-Clarke County Commissioner Mike Hamby, who supported Gwen O’Looney against Denson in 2010.

But Denson’s support may be softer than she’d like you to believe. Commissioner Jerry NeSmith, for one, said he felt like he had to make a choice, but if someone better comes along, he’d consider switching his allegiance.

The list is at least one name shorter than it was a few days ago, too. It initially included Clarke County School Superintendent Philip Lanoue, which I thought was odd, since ACC has a policy limiting employees’ involvement in local campaigns, and I assumed CCSD had one as well. District spokeswoman Anisa Sullivan Jimenez said that Lanoue had merely provided a statement about Denson’s support for local schools, not an endorsement, and the quote was removed from the website.

Incidentally, Denson, who has reportedly been soliciting support from county employees, thinks any restrictions on ACC employees’ political activities violates the First Amendment. “You can’t take people’s constitutional rights away from them,” she said.

The rules are there for a reason. Although the mayor doesn’t have hiring and firing power, county employees could easily feel intimidated into supporting the incumbent.

As a reminder, qualifying is underway through Friday, Mar. 7. Check flagpole.com to find out who’s in and who’s out.

Cyclist Killed: Tobias Smith, 19, was hit by a car and killed as he rode his bike on Winterville Road the evening of Feb. 22. It’s tragic when anyone that young loses his life, but even more so when it happens in a manner that could have been avoided and elicits so much public debate.

Police said that Smith’s bike had no lights and no reflectors, so the car’s driver (who has not been charged) could not swerve in time to keep from hitting him—something that people in the biking community who knew Smith well dispute. A manager for the BikeAthens bike recycling program inspected Smith’s bike after the wreck, and it did have reflectors on the pedals, reflective stickers, a front light and a mount for a rear light, according to Executive Director Tyler Dewey.

For years, local cyclists have been pushing to make Athens roads safer. Winterville Road has no bike lanes—not even a shoulder that could have allowed Smith to avoid the car bearing down on him. To their credit, both Athens-Clarke County and the state Department of Transportation have Complete Streets policies. Let’s use them.

Pulaski Safety: Athens-Clarke County Commissioner Kelly Girtz, ACC Transportation & Public Works Department Director David Clark and Traffic Engineer Steve Decker held an informal meeting Monday, Feb. 24 to discuss the possibility of changes within the Pulaski Heights neighborhood. Points of concern in include non-resident street parking, traffic congestion and ultimately the effect these problems have had on pedestrian safety.

“I’m confident some kind of traffic calming is likely, if we qualify,” said Girtz, a Pulaski resident. “I’m most eager to get a sidewalk from Prince to the railroad tracks… Safety is my main goal.”

But out of all of the proposed measures, building a sidewalk is by far the most unlikely solution in the near future. According to Girtz, there are currently 162 formal requests for sidewalk construction throughout the county.

Based on 11 weighted criteria ACC uses to prioritize new sidewalks, Pulaski Street is currently somewhere in the top 20 on the list.

Clark estimated that funding for sidewalk construction averages $400,000 per year, enough for two miles of new sidewalks. That puts Pulaski about 10 years away from seeing wet cement.

Traffic calming—usually in the form of speed humps or radar speed signs—could slow traffic. Before any action can be taken, though, traffic engineers in the transportation department need to conduct an evaluation of the neighborhood’s traffic flow. If the evaluation proves that Pulaski meets yet another set of criteria to warrant traffic management, the department will propose measures for a community vote. Girtz said he expects residents will support the initial evaluation, which would likely happen this fall.

Pulaski is narrow and often mistaken for a one-way street. Why not make it one? Just like traffic management, moving forward with this idea is contingent upon the traffic flow evaluation.

Parking permits are a feasible solution, one that’s common in many neighborhoods near campus. The cost is $10 per household for two permits. Many people at the meeting were unenthusiastic about them, though, saying they feel kind of like putting a Band-Aid on a headache. [Mark Ellers] Blake Aued news@flagpole.com

Admitted to the Bar of the United States Supreme Court since 1976*

Your next governor (Maybe. OK, probably not. But hey, he has a chance!) Jason Carter speaks at a Clarke County Democratic Committee fundraiser Thursday, Feb. 27.

'

An estimated 400 people turned out to hear a speech by state Sen. Jason Carter (D-Decatur), the party’s likely nominee for governor, at a Clarke County Democratic Committee fundraiser Thursday, Feb. 27 at the Classic Center. Local Democrats called it one of the largest crowds in memory for a party event, second only to a 2012 victory bash for President Barack Obama at the Georgia Theatre. Past fundraisers have drawn about 250 people.

Democrats called the turnout a sign that, after 12 years of defeats at the polls in Georgia, Democrats have the momentum going into the November election. A recent poll showed that Carter is essentially tied with Republican Gov. Nathan Deal. “Anybody who thinks Democrats are dead needs to look around this room,” Mayor Nancy Denson said.

The crowd at the $75-a-head fundraiser included 50 teachers who were sold discounted tickets subsidized by an anonymous donation. They heard Carter and local party chairman Joe Wisenbaker hammer on Republicans for cutting a cumulative $7 billion from the state K-12 education budget over the past decade. Class sizes have increased in 95 percent of school districts, and three-quarters now have fewer than the 180 school days once mandated by law, Carter said.

“They have dismantled our education system,” he said. “They are trading tomorrow for today.”

The education cuts are draining the state economy, Carter said. He accused Republicans of pursuing low-wage jobs as the middle class tanks. The state’s median income, adjusted for inflation, has fallen by $6,000 since the recession hit in 2007, dropping Georgia’s ranking from 15th to 33rd, he said.

Carter proposed separating education from the rest of the state budget and voting on it before everything else. “That’s what it means to have priorities,” he said.

capitol impact Religion Is Already Protected It is getting more difficult to exclude people who may look or believe a little differently than you.

If you run a business and you want to refuse service to a customer who is African American, federal law will not let you do that. If you are the registrar of a college, you can’t deny someone admittance just because they happen to be black or Jewish. If you’re the city clerk of a municipality and a couple applies for a marriage license, you cannot refuse them a license just because you disapprove of the fact that one of them is white and the other is black.

One of the few groups of citizens that you can still legally discriminate against are people who happen to be gay. In several states, people of the same sex can be denied the right to get married. Georgia is one of those states, having enacted a law forbidding these marriages and then adopting an amendment in 2004 that wrote the prohibition into the state constitution.

The bans on gay marriage are being overturned in state after state, however, and I would guess that within a year or two at most, Georgia’s prohibition on same-sex marriages will be swept away as well.

The biggest step in this process was last year’s decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that the federal Defense of Marriage Act was unconstitutional. Under DOMA, gay couples whose marriage was legally recognized by their state were not considered married in the eyes of the federal government, making them ineligible for such federal benefits as Social Security survivor benefits. The Supreme Court limited its DOMA decision to federal law, with the justices declining to rule on the constitutionality of state laws that prohibit same-sex marriages. But it was clear those laws would soon start to topple—and they have.

In the months since the Supreme Court ruling, several more states have legalized samesex marriages, while federal judges have struck

down anti-gay laws in such locales as Utah, Texas and Kentucky.

As it becomes clear that laws prohibiting same-sex marriage are on the way out, conservative state legislators have mounted a lastditch effort to pass bills that would still allow some forms of legal discrimination against gays. These measures are typically given titles like the “Preservation of Religious Freedom Act� because they would allow businesses to refuse to serve gay customers if the business owner claimed to have religious objections.

One of these “religious freedom� laws was passed in Arizona, but the state’s GOP governor, Jan Brewer, vetoed it at the urging of numerous business groups. “I have not heard one example in Arizona where a business owner’s religious liberty has been violated,�

Brewer said.

Similar bills were introduced in the Georgia General Assembly, but they lost momentum after Brewer’s well-publicized veto.

Sen. Josh McKoon (R-Columbus), who authored the Senate version of the bill, gave an impassioned speech declaring: “There is a war going on against people of faith in this country and I think the evidence of that war is manifest‌ Evidence abounds that the last group of people in America it is OK to pick on are people of faith.â€?

McKoon has done some commendable things as a senator, including his fight to limit the money lobbyists can spend to get legislation passed. On this point, however, I think he is mistaken. Making gay marriages legal is not going to destroy religious freedom. We don’t need religious protection laws because we already have one of the strongest measures in the world protecting the right to worship: the First Amendment. It has been part of the U.S. Constitution for more than 220 years and the last time I checked, it had not been repealed.

Legislature Puts Gun Bans in Its Sights

L

ocal governments like Athens-Clarke County may soon face a choice: Allow guns in City Hall, libraries and other government buildings or spend untold sums on security to search people at the door.

State law currently prohibits guns on school property, on the premises of nuclear power plants, near polling places and in mental health facilities, churches, bars, courthouses and other government buildings. While a bill that died in the state legislature at the last minute during last year’s session would have outright allowed permit holders to carry their guns into bars and churches and onto colleges campuses, another version that looks likely to pass this year lets bars and churches opt out and ban guns if they choose and reduces the punishment for carrying a gun on campus to a $100 fine.

As Flagpole reported last year, many Athens religious leaders, bar owners, students, professors and administrators are opposed to guns in churches, in bars and on campus. They’ll be relieved to know that they can continue to keep guns out.

But House Bill 875, the newest version, comes with a twist: To continue banning guns from government buildings, local governments would have to institute security measures similar to courthouses, complete with guards and metal detectors.

That could mean emptying your pockets and taking off your belt before checking out a book or paying your water bill.

Guns are a rarity at the Athens-Clarke County Library, and director Kathryn Ames hopes to keep it that way. “We know we have some undercover [police] officers who visit the library, and there are probably people who are licensed to carry that we don’t know about, but I would hope the general public would not carry guns into the library,” she says.

People who are spotted with guns are now asked to leave, but to keep that policy, the library would have to hire additional security and buy a metal detector for the entrance, Ames said. The library now pays an off-duty police officer $25 an hour to patrol the building after 4 p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends. To keep guns out, a second officer would be needed to staff the metal detector at all times, she said.

Does Ames think the bill would make the library less safe?

“Personally, yes,” she says. “I don’t know how the board would react to that. We haven’t discussed it.”

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ MARCH 5, 2014

State Rep. Regina Quick (R-Athens), who voted in favor of the bill, disagrees. Local governments should either provide citizens with security or allow them to defend themselves, she said. “As it stands right now, only those folks who are obeying the law are without guns in those government buildings without metal detectors,” she says. “The government is doing nothing to protect them.”

House Bill 875 passed the lower chamber Feb. 18 by a largely party-line 119–56 vote. Rep. Chuck Williams (R-Watkinsville) also supported it because, he says, it strikes a balance between gun rights and private-property rights. “If permit holders are deemed law-abiding citizens, I don’t feel like they should be prohibited from carrying, if that’s what they choose to do, in a government building,” he says. “I don’t fear licensed, rational people who carry weapons.”

House Bill 875 would:

• let churches and bars decide whether to lift a ban on guns.

• lower the punishment for carrying a gun at UGA to a $100 ticket.

• allow school districts to arm teachers.

Like Williams and Quick, Rep. Spencer Frye (D-Athens) calls himself a Second Amendment supporter. He doesn’t want to restrict gun rights any more than Georgia does now, he says—nor does he think it makes sense to expand gun rights the way HB 875 would. “This year, it’s an election year, so [Republicans] had to kowtow to the radical Second Amendment groups,” he says. “It’s fear-mongering.”

Frye also questions why guns aren’t allowed in the state Capitol. “It’s a clear case of what’s good for the goose isn’t what’s good for the gander,” he says.

Quick points out that the Capitol already has guards and metal detectors at all entrances. But she says she’d be fine

with letting permit-holders carry weapons under the Gold Dome.

State Sen. Bill Cowsert (R-Athens) says he hasn’t read the bill—the Senate is just now starting to consider House legislation after Crossover Day Monday, Mar. 3—and doesn’t want to venture an opinion before he does.

Sen. Frank Ginn (R-Danielsville), though, already knows how he’ll vote. “The bill, in my opinion, is in a much better place than it was when [the session] ended last year,” he says.

Last year’s version got caught up in a dispute over whether a gun-safety training class should be required to bring guns onto campuses. Senators said yes; House members said no. This year’s version includes no such provision.

Incidentally, HB 875 initially started out as Ginn’s legislation. When he introduced it last year, it would have merely allowed South Carolina concealed-carry permit holders to bring their guns into Georgia and vice versa, due to concerns about boaters on Lake Hartwell and Lake Russell inadvertently crossing back and forth over the state line.

Ginn’s original bill passed the Senate last year, but a House committee stripped out its language and inserted its own. HB 875 is based on the House version.

The issue Ginn brought up was solved when the South Carolina legislature passed a similar bill, he says, because Georgia automatically offers reciprocity to any state that recognizes Georgia’s gun permits.

So if HB 875 passes, which way would ACC officials lean?

Let in guns, or post guards? “Let’s hope it doesn’t pass,” Mayor Nancy Denson says. She describes herself as a “Second Amendment person” but calls guns in government buildings “problematic.”

Either way—pistols or pat-downs—some testy zoning meetings could get even testier.

The bill would also let local school districts arm employees, but don’t expect Clarke County schoolteachers to come to class strapped. Superintendent Philip Lanoue “does not support any guns in schools beyond what our resource officers carry,” district spokeswoman Anisa Sullivan Jimenez says.

TIRED OF THE SAME ‘OLE SAME’Y?

Granny’s Law I was so sad to hear that Tobias Smith, age 19, was killed while riding his bike in the dark on Winterville Road last weekend. All human lives are precious.

I happened to have experienced the preciousness of Tobias, and I feel deeply his loss for the larger community in Athens.

He was part of the BikeAthens team, working to make bikes available for people who have no other way to get around. My heart goes out to his family for the loss of this truly sweet, kind and helpful young man.

When Tobias was killed Saturday, Feb. 22, doing what he passionately lived to do, my grandson, Jesse, age 11, from Griffin, was visiting me at my new home in downtown Athens.

I had moved downtown specifically to experience life as a townie, especially the satisfaction of being able to get what I need either by walking or biking—food, entertainment, a chance meeting on the street with friends—without needing to fire up the automobile.

We had fixed Jesse up a bike to ride and found him a cool helmet at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore. My daughter, Gwenny, showed him some cool destinations, and he spent much of the four days of his visit heading out to adventure on two wheels, autonomous, capable, a young man about town.

He had such a good time!

BikeAthens

Tobias Smith, who was hit by a car and killed Feb. 22 while riding his bike on Winterville Road.

On the way home to Griffin on Sunday, he volunteered, “Granny, Athens is my hometown. I was born here, and I want to live here again, since I can ride my bike to get what I need, and I don’t have to go in the car.”

I don’t think he remembers me saying that was why I had arranged to be living in downtown Athens. But he has directly experienced my dream lifestyle now, and he likes it, too, and understands the lovely sustainability of it.

Now, I’ve got to underscore for him the extreme danger of this sustainable lifestyle within the predatory world of the automobile. I told him to ride on the sidewalk.

He came home from a foray out to spend the $5 he made cleaning the gutters for me. I asked if he had stayed on the sidewalk. He said yes, until a woman told him he had to ride in the street or he would get a ticket. [Editor’s note: Children ages 12 and under can legally ride on the sidewalk, except downtown or in any other area where doors open directly onto the sidewalk.]

I had to explain the hierarchy of law then. I said, “You follow Granny’s law no matter what some other adult says to you.

Ride on the sidewalk, but always give pedestrians the right of way. Slow down for them, give them plenty of room. And if you get a ticket, you tell the officer, ‘My Granny said her law overrides yours. She will pay the fine rather than chance me being killed on Prince Avenue.’”

If there were bike lanes where he rides, I’d tell him to ride in the bike lane. But there aren’t, so Granny’s law trumps the bike ordinance.

im Bowden, a retired Presbyterian pastor who served for 41 years, decided to look toward the Bible for support of same-sex partnership rather than for ways to condemn it. “When I finally decided I don’t think the Bible is addressing this issue of same-gender committed relationships, I said, ‘What can we find in the Bible that would enable us to support it?’� Bowden says.

The justification of same-sex partnerships, along with the changing concept of marriage, is the focus of Bowden’s book, Validating Committed Partnerships: A Still More Excellent Way, and an upcoming series of Bible studies at Covenant Presbyterian Church of Athens, where he was pastor for 35 years.

His book was published in 2013, but Bowden began researching the relationship between the LGBT community and Christianity in the 1970s. At that time, a family in Bowden’s congregation had a son who was struggling with being gay. “It was only after he left home that he told his parents, who were members of the church,� Bowden says. “And so I served as the pastor to the parents who were struggling with this.�

A study paper was also presented at a General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church meeting soon after. Both of these events led Bowden to learn more about the relationship between samesex partnerships and the church.

In the Bible, there are seven passages that mention samegendered relationships, and the passages from the Old Testament stem from the subject of rape, Bowden says. “You couldn’t very well use that as a Bible saying [that] it’s against God’s will for two people of the same gender to be married or to be in a committed partnership,� he says.

Other passages deal with temple prostitution or false idolatry, Bowden says, and he did not interpret this as condemnation of same-sex relationships. “While the scripture declares same-gender sexual activity sinful in specific situations like temple prostitution, rape and pederasty, scripture says nothing about those in a committed relationship,� Bowden writes in his book. “So the scripture does not shut the door on validating and blessing same-gender or heterosexual committed relationships.�

His book and upcoming Bible study do not solely focus on same-sex relationships, however. Both also discuss heterosexual relationships and marriage in relation to same-sex couples.

The definition and expectations of marriage and relationships have changed, Bowden says, as a result of cultural changes in past years, including the role of husband and wife in a marriage. “We need to reexamine marriage as well as, what is really important, what is the most important in marriage,� Bowden says. “John Calvin said, ‘Yes, it’s still important to have a family, but the most important is mutuality between the husband and wife.’�

Bowden prefers to identify the relationship between couples as partnerships, rather than marriages. In Genesis, God sought a partner for man, and Bowden believes this term accepts same-gender partnerships and male/female partnerships outside of the Bible. “When [same-sex couples] get older, they usually say ‘she’s my partner, he’s my partner.’ That fits beautifully with the

second chapter of Genesis,� Bowden says. “I like the word partner, because it speaks to the present day, and we’re learning a lot from same-gendered couples who are wonderful partners.�

The church should provide leadership in the discussion of validating same-sex partnerships and welcoming LGBT members, Bowden says.

Mark Harper, current pastor at Covenant Presbyterian Church, says strides have been made in some churches to accept same-sex members, and that trend will continue. “I really do think that there will be a movement, and there already is a movement, within many parts of the Christian family to look into ways to validate same-sex or same-gender partnerships,� Harper says. “I do think that’s going to increase.�

The Rev. Renee DuBose of Our Hope Metropolitan Community Church, a church that began as a spiritual safe place for LGBT people and performs commitment ceremonies and weddings for same-gender couples, said that, although some people use the Bible to support their disapproval of same-sex couples, she does not agree with those practices. “A lot of people pin it on their religious beliefs, but sometimes religious people are some of the most closed-minded people I’ve ever met,� DuBose says. “And I speak as a religious person, or a spiritual person, so I’m in the camp, but I really don’t agree with most of their theology.�

The topic of same-sex relationships and same-sex marriage is also a controversial topic, DuBose says, but it is something which Athens is more accepting of than other areas in Georgia. “Athens has always been ahead of the curve, so to speak, on equality issues,� DuBose says. “Part of that is the youthfulness of the city; part of it is because of the university, and, honestly, part of it is because of the educational level of the community.�

Bert Ballard-Myer, a member of Covenant Presbyterian Church, was one of the congregation members who helped organize the six-week study at the church. Ballard-Myer and her partner have been members at the church for around 11 years, and she hopes the study will help reach out more to the LGBT community. “We want the LGBT community to know they are welcome there [at Coveneant Presbyterian Church],� Ballard-Myer says. “We want people to understand that gay marriage is not a threat to anything; it’s not going to diminish traditional marriage in any way. My hope is just that people will come and participate.�

Harper hopes this six-week study will help strengthen the relationships and commitments of members in partnerships— including traditional marriages and same-sex partnerships. “We hope that this will help people in that circumstance know that there are at least parts of the church that want to celebrate those partnerships and those commitments and that there will be this sense of welcome into God’s family,� Harper says.

The classes and discussions at Covenant will run from Mar. 9–Apr. 13. The discussions led by Rev. Bowden will be held from 9:40–10:40 a.m. on Sundays and the same discussions will be led by Rev. Harper from 7–8 p.m. on Wednesdays.

observations SPLOST Vote Pushed Back The date for the referendum on the Oconee County 2015 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax now seems more likely to be in November than May, as originally planned.

Three of the four voting members of the Board of Commissioners say they are not ready to decide what projects should be listed on the ballot, making it unlikely there will be a majority next week to vote to go forward with the referendum on May 20.

BOC Chairman Melvin Davis, who votes only in the case of a tie among the other four members, made it clear at a Tuesday, Feb. 24 meeting that he wants the vote to be in May, as does Commissioner Mark Saxon. Commissioners John Daniell, Margaret Hale and Jim Luke said they do not. Hale had indicated earlier last month that she wanted a postponement of the vote, but no one had spoken up to support her.

The commissioners agreed that the agenda for the Tuesday, Mar. 4 meeting should include an initial vote on when the commissioners want the tax issue on the ballot. Originally, it was to include a vote on the final ballot language for a May 20 referendum on the tax issue.

Commissioners are also going to have to decide which projects have the most popular support—and the evidence so far is that the recreational projects, including new tennis courts, are high on the list—and which ones represent the greatest county needs. The $100 million in requests will have to be reduced to either $47 million or $38 million, depending how the county decides to estimate likely revenue from the six-year SPLOST.

Oconee Reps Support Gun Bill Oconee County’s two members of the Georgia House of Representatives—Chuck Williams and Regina Quick—voted with the Republican majority to pass an omnibus gun bill that would allow, among other things, licensed holders of guns to enter county government buildings that do not have security restrictions in place. (See p. 6 for more.)

The Association County Commissioners of Georgia is opposing provisions of the bill, including those dealing with access to government buildings and others that would prevent law enforcement officials from detaining a person with a weapon to determine if that person has a license to carry the weapon.

The bill, now before the Senate, also would reduce to a misdemeanor with a maximum fine of $100 the carrying of a weapon onto the Oconee County campus of University of North Georgia near Butler’s Crossing as well as onto other campuses around the state.

Celtic Nights

The Downtown Master Plan Pt. 1: An Introduction This is the first installment in a series of articles by University of Georgia College of Environment and Design professor Jack Crowley. In this series, Crowley will explain the downtown Athens master plan effort that his team generated to guide development downtown for the next 15 years.

In In an exciting show that features the finest vocalists of the Celtic world showcased against a thundering backdrop of expert dancing and musicianship, Celtic Nights weaves together the lilting melodies and plaintive lyrics of the rich Celtic heritage to tell the story of a people.

case you’re not one of the more than 4,500 people who provided input on its development, there’s been a fairly big planning project going on downtown for the past year and a half.

In February, the Athens Downtown Development Authority, which is sponsoring the downtown master plan, tentatively approved it and, after receiving the plan text, will likely pass it on to the Athens-Clarke County Planning Commission and finally to the Mayor and Commission. The plan’s journey will have taken about two years.

It was agreed that the area to be comprehensively studied and planned was bounded along the south by the UGA campus, on the east by the North Oconee River Greenway, on the north by the CSX Railroad and on the west

by Finley and Pulaski streets.

The first eight months was spent mapping and analyzing the plan area, studying other cities and their creative downtown solutions, meeting stakeholders, holding town hall meetings, and advertising the efforts to gain public input through radio, television, the print and social media. Graphics, models, films, writings, and presentations resulted in meeting more than 4,500 people by the time the team stopped counting.

Athens has a downtown that other cities commonly visit as an example of success and excellence. It truly has the potential to become considerably better. The suggestions in the plan underline those opportunities. In The plan’s study area.

Over the next few months, I’ll try and break the plan down into bite-sized chunks.

There are many elements to the plan, such as street improvements, pedestrian and bicycle corridors, open space, public facilities and transportation projects. Although they all tie together, they will be examined separately.

As Athens, along with most of the rest of the country, was recovering from the collapsed economy that had stopped real estate development in its tracks, it was apparent that local development’s resurgence was headed downtown. Public discussions about ideal downtown densities, the capacity of the water and sewer infrastructure, delivery trucks and street reconstruction were at their height as the first wave of student residential construction washed onto the slopes at the east end of downtown. It was obvious to most that no plan had been done in a long time, and one was needed.

The economy, however, hadn’t recovered enough to start filling the local government coffers, and there weren’t sufficient funds to retain a private consultant. The project was undertaken at the request of the Athens Downtown Development Authority as a public service of the University of Georgia. The team of graduate planning and design students from the College of Environment and Design, many with considerable experience and graduate degrees in related fields, was assembled, and I agreed to direct them, utilizing my 40 years of experience not only in planning central business districts, but in developing them as well.

planning, one of the great hurdles is skepticism, and a downtown that may be a 7 on a 10 scale can get to an 8.5 if we take a good plan and work hard to implement it. (I figure that a 9–10 is utopia, and besides, there has to be something left to complain about.)

An important thing to keep in mind as we examine this plan is that it primarily calls for an investment in the public infrastructure of the downtown. If we are reliable and consistent in those investments, they will attract the private development that we are looking for. It’s not about preventing what we don’t want, but rather attracting what we do want.

Part of that strategy for attracting the good will involve partnering with the private sector. The plan shows a considerable amount of infill development on private and adjacent public lands. These infill scenarios are shown only to illustrate what can happen on a given site, not as regulated but as potential. In addition, the infill scenarios also allow for the calculation of infrastructure capacity needs for the future.

The plan includes strong recommendations on how to finance the proposed public infrastructure projects over the years between now and 2030. This includes incomes from leasing public lands, tax allocation districts and the two SPLOST periods that are likely to occur between the end of the present one in 2021 and 2030. These will be written about in the columns to come.

grub notes Outta Town BOK BOK: You might think that Athens and surrounding areas are well enough equipped for obtaining fried chicken (bone-in, boneless, strips, fingers, nuggets, et al.), but Golden Chick, a Texas-based franchise that recently opened at 7990 Macon Hwy., in Watkinsville, didn’t see it that way. The company has 120plus locations and seems to have been on a tear of expansion lately, although ours is the only one in the state of Georgia for now.

Should you visit it on a Sunday in the postchurch hours, prepare for it to be both pretty darned busy and a big slice of Americana.

Should you get takeout, the well-scrubbed staff goes over each item in your order before closing the boxes, to ensure that you are satisfied you have received everything. The drinks that come standard with the combos are 32-ounce buckets of Pepsi products. You can get a salad, should you roll that way, or chicken salad if you want something a little healthier, but there’s also free soft-serve vanilla ice cream for dine-in customers, some of whom avail themselves of it as an appetizer rather than a dessert.

board of business cards, until you reach the small counter with a chalkboard of choices.

The biscuits themselves are at least of average quality—probably a bit better, although still maybe a little moist for my taste—but the fillings are great. I haven’t had a red link-sausage biscuit in years, but, especially with cheese, this one is delicious.

Regular mild sausage patties are nearly as good. What you really need to do is pay attention to the sign that instructs, “Ask us about our breakfast burritos.� You should. They are delicious. Hot sausage, eggs, cheese and salsa marry in a substantial tortilla to produce something just as tasty a few hours later as it is immediately. Hash browns are of the McDonald’s ovoid variety but are still two for a dollar. Everything is served up speedily and cheerfully, and the prices are excellent. Biscuit Express is open 5–11 a.m. Monday–Saturday.

Golden Chick The main attraction—breaded and fried chicken tenderloins that come with a side of white gravy for dipping—is a bit underwhelming and not as fine a product as, for example, Hubee D’s version of the same. The catfish is not bad, but the “Golden Roast� chicken is the best stuff you can order. The skin isn’t exactly crisp, but the flavor is good, and it feels like real food. If you picked the fried okra for a side, you would be fairly happy. Everything comes with a giant yeast roll, the mashed potatoes are of the KFC variety and the corn nuggets are worth adding.

Golden Chick is open for lunch and dinner every day, has a drive-through and takes credit cards.

OINK OINK: The first time I looked online for Biscuit Express (8729 U.S. Hwy. 29 N, in Hull, next door to Pizza and Subs Express and just down from Gas Express), the word “sausage� appeared magically, as an associated term.

The Internet, as often, was right.

Biscuit Express is not a fancy place. The parking lot is jammed up with big trucks. You need to remember to get some cash out before you go or bring a check. Slotted at the end of a small strip mall, it is kind of easy to miss.

But if you appreciate sausage, you should make an effort. Once in the door, join the end of the line that snakes through the few booths, taking some time to eye the bulletin

sauce and crust (never frozen) and uses Grande cheese. This may not seem like much, but considering that in the 20 minutes I sat in the space, two separate customers who entered had never heard of a calzone, I would consider it fighting the good fight.

Jack Stirling, a regular reader, sent me a tip about the place recently, touting the thincrust pizza in particular, and he was right.

The Happy Hippie (pesto, artichoke hearts, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, shiitakes) and the Magnum PI (prosciutto, pineapple, bacon) were both worthy choices, balancing highquality toppings, and not too many of them, with a somewhat cracker-like thin crust produced by baking the pies in a perforated pan.

The open kitchen works in harmony, with six or seven folks moving at high speed to craft pizzas, big salads, the aforementioned calzones, solid hot wings, stromboli and ovenbaked sandwiches. The dining room is not luxurious (long, narrow, plastic booths) but is adorned with photos of old-timey Statham, and the restaurant posts its “pizza-losophy� on its website (michaels-pizza.net).

Michael’s is open 3–9 p.m. Monday– Thursday and 3–9:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

It takes credit cards, does take-out but not delivery, serves soft drinks only and has a rewards system for frequent customers.

movie dope drew’s reviews NON-STOP (PG-13) Maybe the Liam Neeson Action Star franchise

 isn’t dead yet. In his latest portrayal of the deadliest daddy ever,

Neeson stars as Bill Marks, a U.S. Air Marshal receiving threatening texts “on a secure network” (oooh) demanding $150 million or someone will die every 20 minutes. Neeson is joined by a big name co-star, Julianne Moore, and several recognizable bit players like Academy Award nominee Lupita Nyong’o, Michelle “Lady Mary” Dockery and Scoot McNairy; however, the real co-star is the claustrophobic, transparent setting. Besides the lavatories and the cockpit, everything takes place in the various cabins of the transatlantic flight.

(None of that cargo hold crap resorted to by other plane-trapped protagonists.) A more than serviceable whodunit, Non-Stop should please the millions of mystery fans as well as those moviegoers feeling there are more asses Neeson needs to kick. As usual, the reveal is never as clever as the setup, but the tense first two acts are filling if not fulfilling. Marks could be a more pleasant protag with whom to spend two hours. Fortunately, the movie rarely slows down enough for Marks’ authoritarian abuses to outrage. I wonder if this flick will get shown on many future flights.

SON OF GOD (PG-13) At least The Passion of the Christ was a feature film and Mel Gibson a decorated (if now crazed) filmmaker.

Son of God is cobbled together from the Jesus sequences (plus more!) from the History Channel miniseries, “The Bible,” and its collection of slightly ethnic unknown actors do not benefit from the big screen treatment. The only debatably recognizable face is that of producer Roma Downey (“Touched by an Angel”), who plays Mary, Mother of Jesus. Portuguese-born Diogo Morgado is a photogenic savior with a nice smile; he recedes into Christly caricature during the climactic imprisonment and crucifixion. An obvious cash grab by “Survivor” producer Mark Burnett (Downey’s husband), Son of God merely takes advantage of an audience hungry for faith-based films (see the success of the releases from Albany’s Sherwood Pictures) by repackaging previously seen material with a few new scenes, none of them worth the price of admission. Minus a whit of believer’s passion, this film simply retells the greatest story ever told like a Greatest Hits of Jesus compilation. Most viewers will have heard this tale told before and better.



also playing ABOUT LAST NIGHT (R) This remake of the 1986 movie starring Demi Moore and Rob Lowe—itself based on David Mamet’s play, “Sexual Perversity in Chicago”—finally makes the best use of the ubiquitous funnyman, Kevin Hart. Hart’s horndog, Bernie, woos, dumps and rewoos the not quite innocent Joan (Regina Hall), while his best friend, Danny (Michael Ealy), romances Joan’s BFF and roomie, Debbie (Joy Bryant from NBC’s excellent, underwatched “Parenthood”).

The dialogue, adapted by Bachelorette’s Leslye Headland, flies funny and fast, especially when Hart and Hall get going. Sadly, the dramromcom feels longer when the pretty, likable duo of Ealy and Bryant are onscreen without Hart and Hall.

AMERICAN HUSTLE (R) Con man Irving Rosenfeld (a near unrecognizable Christian Bale) and his not exactly British girlfriend, Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams), are forced by an unstable FBI agent, Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper), into conning the mayor of Camden, New Jersey, Carmine Polito (Jeremy Renner), and some of the scariest mobsters still living. Torn between his love and his beautiful, crazy, young wife (Jennifer Lawrence) and son, Irving has to come up with his master plan to escape jail and death.

DR. STRANGELOVE 1964. Stanley Kubrick’s iconic Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is the perfect film to screen in conjunction with “Alert Today, Alive Tomorrow: Living with the Atomic Bomb, 1945-1965.” Mere three-time Academy Award nominee Peter Sellers stars in three roles in this sublime comedy about a mad general

12

(Sterling Hayden) starting the road to nuclear Armageddon, while a war room filled with political and military bigwigs (including George C. Scott) attempt to stop it. The film will be introduced by Dr. Christopher Sieving (UGA Department of Theatre and Film Studies). (Richard B. Russell Library) ENDLESS LOVE (PG-13) While no one was looking, the 1981 wild teenage romance starring Brooke Shields that introduced audiences to Tom Cruise and the Diana Ross-Lionel Richie duet was remade into a rather bland new tale of teenage love. The summer after Jade Butterfield (Gabriella Wilde) graduates from high school, she meets and falls in love with David Elliot (Alex Pettyfer, whose offscreen ugliness fails to mar his onscreen charisma). Her doctor father (Bruce Greenwood, in standout villainous daddy mode) foresees the derailment of Jade’s future over this boy, so he schemes to break them up.

Any audience member, be they familiar or not with Franco Zeffirelli’s original film or novelist Scott Spencer’s source material, will keep waiting for the big dramatic turn to come. And they will keep waiting, as this Endless Love is way more neutered than either of its predecessors.

FROZEN (PG) Disney returns with a newfangled computer animated feature that feels very old school. A young princess, Anna (v. Kristen Bell), must venture into the frozen wilds to save her sister, recently crowned Queen Elsa (v. Idina Menzel), who has lost control over her icy powers. The narrative, adapted from Hans Christian Anderson’s “The Snow Queen” by Wreck-It Ralph scripter Jennifer Lee, is as Disney formulaic as they come, and the animation shines without standing out. Still, fans of Disney classics will not feel left out in the cold. (Ciné)

THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL (R) Wes Anderson’s latest stars Ralph Fiennes as Gustave H, a legendary concierge at the famous hotel, who memorably mentors lobby boy Zero Moustafa (Tony Revolori, The Perfect Game). The cast is huge—F. Murray Abraham, Mathieu Amalic, Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Jude Law, Harvey Keitel, Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Saoirse Ronan, Jason Schwartzman, Tilda Swinton, Tom Wilkinson and Owen Wilson—and the trailer is Andersonly entertaining. Hopes are up for this film after Moonrise Kingdom. (Ciné) HER (R) Her stars a really nice, mildmannered Joaquin Phoenix as Theodore Twombly, who is struggling through a divorce. Then he meets his new Operating System and falls in love…with the OS. Samantha is voiced by Scarlett Johannson, so the concept isn’t THAT outlandish. The film is mostly Phoenix interacting with Johannson’s voice. Sometimes an unmade Amy Adams pops by to again verify her brilliance. While Phoenix and ScarJo incredibly do their thing, Jonze and his behind the scenes folk drip visual magic into audience eyes with their retro-future design. This film is unreservedly wonderful. (Ciné)

true story is written and directed by Peter Berg, who shoots action with a visceral viciousness, taking some visual cues from first person shooters like Call of Duty.

THE MONUMENTS MEN (PG-13) The Monuments Men is a rousing World War II yarn about an unlikely platoon assigned the mission of protecting humanity’s art from history’s greatest douchebags, the Nazis.

Seriously, already history’s top seed in any Tournament of Big Bads, the Nazis were also giant d-bags who burned great works of art because they couldn’t have it. Fortunately, George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, John Goodman, Jean Dujardin, Bob Balaban and Hugh Bonneville scoured the war-torn continent and nabbed the best stuff from those firebug Nazis and art-thieving Soviets. The true story recounted by writer-director George Clooney is a fascinating historical footnote that makes for great cinema.

It’s just that this level of filmmaker and cast promises grander, award-winning cinema. The Monuments Men has too many appealing personalities; the audience never gets to adequately spend enough time with Murray/Balaban, Goodman/Dujardin, Damon/Cate Blanchett or Clooney.

We will buy your gold!

THE LEGO MOVIE (PG) The LEGO Movie is most certainly the young year’s best new, wide release. The intricate, interconnected universes built by writing-directing duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and 21 Jump Street) has an age-defying Muppetslike appeal. When generic construction mini-figure Emmet (v. Chris Pratt, who is so devilishly appealing) gets up in the morning, he follows the day’s instructions as handed down by president/overlord Business (v. Will Ferrell). Soon, Emmet gets involved with a Matrix-ian rebel group led by Vitruvius (v. Morgan Freeman), a pretty mini-fig who goes by Wildstyle (v.

Elizabeth Banks) and her BF, Batman (v.

Will Arnett). The LEGO Movie uses its licenses (D.C., Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings) smartly as it argues for the salvation of creativity.

LONE SURVIVOR (R) The spoilerishly titled Lone Survivor does not hide from what it is, which amounts to injury porn in the second act (the characters’ two falls are brutal). While on Operation Red Wings, four Navy SEALs—team leader Mike Murphy (Taylor Kitsch), Axe (Ben Foster), Danny (Emile Hirsch, who more and more resembles a tiny version of Jack Black) and Marcus Luttrell (Mark Wahlberg), upon whose book this film is based—battle an army of Taliban fighters. The cinematic account of this

MR. PEABODY AND SHERMAN (PG) Mr. Peabody and Sherman, beloved characters seen on “The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show,” venture onto the big screen as the duo who must use the WABAC machine to undo the damage done to the space-time continuum.

Fans of the original are holding their breath. Feature updates of older characters are more miss than hit. “Modern Family”’s Ty Burrell was an inspired choice to voice Mr. Peabody, and director Rob Minkoff co-directed The Lion King. Expect lots of familiar celebrity voices.

THE OSCAR NOMINATED SHORT FILMS 2014 (NR) See Movie Pick.

(Ciné) PHILOMENA (PG-13) Two of my favorite British Stephens—Coogan and Frears—team up for what sounds pretty un-intriguing from its basedon-a-true-story logline. A shamed journalist, Martin Sixsmith (Steve Coogan), helps an old Irish woman, Philomena Lee (Judi Dench), find the child she lost to adoption 50 years earlier. Coogan, who co-wrote the Oscar-nominated script with Jeff Pope, hones his sharp wit and creates some moments of genuine emotion as his cynical journo interacts with sweet old Philomena, who is unsurprisingly embodied perfectly by Dench. The writers also sharpen their knives to carve up the Catholic Church, here represented by a few evil nuns.

POMPEII (PG-13) Surprisingly, Paul W.S. Anderson’s romantic period disaster flick is a rather entertaining, plebeian Gladiator rather than another comic, stylish 300 wannabe. Milo (Kit Harington, Jon Snow from “Game of Thrones”), the survivor of a Celtic tribe slain by Roman General Corvus (Kiefer Sutherland), has become a gladiator in Pompeii. Now a Senator, Corvus arrives in Pompeii to extend the reach of Emperor Titus and stalk pretty young Cassia (Emily Browning), daughter of the town chief (Jared Harris), who prefers the pretty, muscular slave.

Then Mount Vesuvius erupts, and all cinematic hell breaks loose. The effects are estimable, though the picture gets a little obscure during the ashy, 3D finale. That tsunami’s pretty tough. The script is negligible but not detrimental.

The acting serves its purpose. “Lost”’s Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje makes more of an impression as the local gladiatorial champion. A more dashing, old-fashioned sword and sandal pic than viewers are used to, Pompeii may please more if expectations are lowered; with a dearth of new entertainment options at the multiplex, this flick isn’t a complete disaster.

RIDE ALONG (PG-13) Judging from the trailers, Kevin Hart and Ice Cube’s team up for an action comedy set in Atlanta could be worse. Hart stars as a security guard who goes on patrol with his girlfriend’s tough cop brother, played by Cube, in order to earn his blessing. Tika Sumpter (Tyler Perry’s A Madea Christmas) stars as the girlfriend/sister. It’s co-written by the super-funny Jason Mantzoukas (The League’s Rafi); granted, he’s one of four credited scripters. Tim Story (Barbershop, Fantastic Four) directs.

ROBOCOP (PG-13) So the new Robocop kind of misses the maliciously satirical point of the original.

No one will be clamoring for a remake of this technically shiny action flick in 27 years. Outside of the interstitial moments with Samuel L. Jackson’s Bill O’Reilly-ish Pat Novak, the new movie, from Elite Squad director Jose Padilha and first-time feature writer Joshua Zetumer, misses out on some prime opportunities to deride modern America. Robocop, formerly Detective Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman), does not do much Robocopping. He does solve his own murder, which is a little self-involved.

THAT AWKWARD MOMENT (R) 2014’s first truly terrible movie

goes to That Awkward Moment.

Congratulations for barely edging out I, Frankenstein! That is quite an accomplishment for first-time writerdirector Tom Gormican, and is almost as impressive as sucking the majority of the charisma out of Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan. Fortunately, Teller overcomes the script’s woeful inadequacies and outright thefts from (not even that much) better romcoms.

Out of friendship, three male besties— Jason (a drowsy Zac Efron), Mikey (Jordan) and Daniel (Teller)—swear off relationships before meeting the women of their dreams. Now comes the awkward part where they do dumb things because that’s what guys do, according to movies like this one.

3 DAYS TO KILL (PG-13) Gallic super-producer Luc Besson again attempts to breathe life into an aging Hollywood actor; this time, the reclamation project is Kevin Costner.

While 3 Days to Kill doesn’t try to be a new Taken, think of Costner’s weary spy as an extension of his weary athlete persona. Gruff but charming, Costner more than makes up for the nearly disastrous direction of McG (talk about a career that’s fallen off a cliff). Costner’s Ethan Renner is dying and wishes to spend his remaining time with his estranged wife (Connie Nielsen) and teenage daughter (True Grit Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld).

But when mysterious beauty Vivi (Amber Heard), offers an experimental cure in exchange for one last job (is there any other kind?), Ethan must juggle parenting with his dangerous professional obligations. The movie is a lot more fun than its generic plot or trailer let on, thanks mainly to Costner, who shines with Besson and Adi Hasak’s script, which favors a comedic tone over a grim Taken one. l 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE (R) Did 300, released way back in 2006, really need a sequel? Its ending was pretty definitive. Greek general Themistocles (Sullivan Stapleton) must turn back the Persian Army led by King Xerxes (still Rodrigo Santoro) and his ally, Artemesia (Eva Green, Casino Royale), Queen of Caria. 300 filmmaker Zack Snyder helped write the sequel’s screenplay and produced, while Noam Murro (Smart People) takes over directing duties. Lena Headey reprises her role as Queen Gorgo of Sparta.

THE WIND RISES (PG) Hayao Miyazaki has threatened that this will be his final film. We will see.

Fortunately, we will also see The Wind Rises, a fictionalized biopic of Jiro Hirokoshi, who designed the aircraft blown by the Empire of Japan in World War II. The English voice cast is as good as usual. Joseph Gordon-Levitt voices Jiro and is joined by Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Martin Short, Werner Herzog, William H. Macy, Mandy Patinkin and Stanley Tucci.

Come to Life MacMullan doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t harken back to the past for easy pastiche, but instead creates something innovative and special by bringing Mickey and Oswald the Lucky Bunny (!) into the modern age in a breathtaking, fun way. In the futuristic Mr Hublot, the winner of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award, directors Laurent Witz and Alexandre Espigares focus on the title character, a melancholy, hapless man who never leaves his apartment and must face new challenges when he obtains a new robot dog that eventually draws his new master out of his cracked shell. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonderfully inventive piece. Shuhei Moritaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Possessions is a real wonder, mixing stately compositions with a more frantic anime style. Visually and thematically, it perceptively deals with the clash of modernity and the past, something that feels very Japanese and universal at the same time. The longest movie of the bunch is Room on the Broom, from the UK, directed by Max Lang and Jan Lachauer. Based on the book by writer Julia Donaldson and artist Axel Scheffler, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an enchanting and humorous ride. Not the best of the bunch, but a splendid ending nevertheless.

This series of movies should please any serious fan of animation.

THE OSCAR NOMINATED ANIMATED SHORT FILMS 2014 (NR) Not surprisingly, when one thinks of the Academy Awards, the big prizes always come to mind. Short films easily get ignored by the general movie-going public because of how distribution works in the commercial marketplace and how the presentation of short movies is relegated only to film festivals and special events. For the last few years, however, the nominees for Best Animated Short Films and Best Short Films have been compiled in a showcase, giving audiences an opportunity to view some extraordinary and entertaining films on the big screen they otherwise would have never known existed.

The Oscar Nominated Animated Short Films 2014 showcase has been in town for the last few weeks, and it Mr Hublot is a rewarding experience offering up a rich array of disparate approaches to the form. In the animated block, we start off with Daniel Souzaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautifully constructed production Feral, about a young boy taken from the wilds and forced into civility by his hunter guardian. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a marvel of texture and technique, reminding us of what animation can convey over live action.

Next up is the slyly witty and nostalgic Disney short Get a Horse, the first animated Mickey Mouse cartoon in decades. Director Lauren

Brimming With Confidence,

Ruby the RabbitFoot Looks to SXSW and Beyond

Good Luck Charm She’s ostensibly here to discuss her upcoming album, New as Dew, but Ruby Kendrick would first like to talk about rediscovering a childhood obsession. “I’ve been listening to Boyz II Men,” she says with a grin. “I just wanted to remember what it was like.” And you can forget all that baloney about nostalgia being unreliable, she adds. “It’s so good.”

Kendrick sees most things through rose-colored glasses.

It’s what makes her curious decision to switch from recording and performing under her birth name to doing so as Ruby the RabbitFoot slightly less, well, curious.

“I guess I’m pretty superstitious,” she says. “I was feeling optimistic, pretty blessed. It was just kind of an uplifting nickname. [I thought] maybe it could help me out later on.”

“Later on” is now. New as Dew, out Mar. 18 via Normaltown Records, is as convincing a breakout statement as Athens has seen in quite a while. While Kendrick’s 2012 debut, No Weight No Chain, offered a glimpse of the songwriter’s prowess, it was weakened by a somewhat distracting diffidence. Likewise, her live show at the time left something to be desired. “Her timid stage presence, combined with the steadfastness in her voice, borders on cloying,” read a 2011 Athens Banner-Herald article.

As evidenced by a recent live performance, and from the beginning of New as Dew, it’s clear she is not the same artist in 2014. The album’s lead single, “Ways,” kicks things off in understated form. An acoustic guitar rings lazily out, before Kendrick delivers one of the most beautifully acerbic opening couplets since Fiona Apple’s “Criminal.”

“I know you’re probably thinking of ways to be good to me,” Kendrick sings. The knife twist is practically audible. “But let me help you spare your precious energy.”

The new record brims with confidence, from the full band and thick-sounding production—backers include White Violet’s Nate Nelson and scene vet Jeremy Wheatley along with bassist Frank Keith IV; the album was tracked with Nelson at his downtown studio and mixed by Drew Vandenberg at Chase Park Transduction—to Kendrick’s much-improved songwriting. (“Ways” isn’t the only track to feature a show-stopping couplet; the sunnily depressive “Misery” boasts a slew of ‘em.)

“I kind of felt like I didn’t really dig deep with it,” Kendrick says of No Weight No Chain. “I was very unsatisfied.” This

time around, the hapless, lovelorn narrator of that record is nowhere to be found. Lyrically and musically, New as Dew is a step forward, although in one key way, it’s actually a step back: Kendrick’s stated bout of reminiscence seems appropriate, given the 1990s-college-pop vibe that colors much of the record.

Some of that era’s more questionable proclivities do appear, but they mostly go over surprisingly well. The title track features an unexpected but honest-to-goodness spoken word segment, which should fall poetry-slam flat but somehow has the exact opposite effect. More straightforward (but no less enchanting) songs like “The Shelf” would have been easy and obvious standouts on CMJ samplers of yore.

Meanwhile, “Obsession” sounds primed for an Apple commercial or some such, with its earworm keyboard loops and swirling, glassy choruses. The tune is not the LP’s strongest, but it is a fine example of just how far Kendrick has come since her previous outing. Backed by the talented band, her presence is instantly boosted. And though the song is about love gone wrong, mystique has long since displaced self-pity, as evidenced by the song’s winking chorus: “You may never know/ Who I’m working for.”

And the best, it seems, is yet to come. Since finishing New as Dew, Kendrick has progressed into more mysterious territory. Last October, she leaked a single called “Coffee & Honey,” complete with a colorful, lo-fi music video. The song oozed through three minutes of sultry slowcore-soul, Kendrick’s vocals slinking alongside a trip-hoppy drum-machine beat.

As the first piece of music she had unveiled since No Weight, it was an unexpected, experimental delight. The attractively unglued track represented a whole new direction for Kendrick, a journey to the center of her R&B-obsessed roots and a convincing showcase of the raw vocal talent that had only been hinted at previously. Many, including Flagpole, assumed it was the first taste of New as Dew—but when advance copies of the record went out, it was nowhere to be seen.

“I felt like I hadn’t released anything in so long. I had been working on [New as Dew], and it takes a long time for a label to put out an album. I was like, ‘I’m gonna go crazy.’ So I just made that at home, and put it out.”

Kendrick says to expect more along the lines of “Coffee & Honey” in the future. “I would really like to explore my inner diva,” she says. Still, she adds, “I don’t wanna rush it, because I should spend time touring with this record. I write songs a lot. So, by the time I get to make a record, a lot of them are gone.”

Armed with the considerable support of her label, Kendrick and her band will travel westward for a handful of performances at this year’s South by Southwest festival. Unlike last year, when plans to play Austin were derailed by the intervention of a last-minute invitation to open in Atlanta for Thao & the Get Down Stay Down—one of Kendrick’s favorites—she plans actually to make it there this time.

Even with the label support, though, she is realistic about what playing SXSW means in the modern age. Due to the democratization spurred by emerging technology or an exponentially increased corporate presence, or both, the event has long shifted from its original purpose as a vehicle for unknown bands to be scouted by industry folk. (As an eye-opening example of how it has changed since its bootstrap beginnings, in 2013 the festival had a reported economic impact of over $218 million.)

“It’s what you make it,” Kendrick admits. “If you go and are like, ‘I’m gonna network the fuck out of this,’ then you probably will. But if you’re going to eat tacos and get a suntan, which is probably what I’m gonna do [laughs]… It’s just so fun. It feels like every band in the country is there.”

That last bit is not really all that far-fetched; at SXSW, Ruby the RabbitFoot will be a blip on most attendees’ radar.

Still, the few folks who happen upon one of the group’s sets in Austin will undoubtedly count it as a pleasant surprise. One might even say that, out of the vast many, they are the lucky ones.

Davey Pierce and Nicholas Dobbratz cut their teeth as members of of Montreal’s touring ensemble, and Yip Deceiver takes some of the same eccentro-rock cues as that band. But Yip’s is a less guarded, more blissfully straightforward kinda psych-pop vibe, highlighted by tunes like the sassy, synth-y “Get Strict,” whose video featured a righteous cameo from cavorting comedian Reggie Watts.

New Madrid

Thursday, Mar. 13, 11 p.m. @ Velveeta Room Psych-rock quartet New Madrid hasn’t been around long—the band released its debut album, Yardboat, in 2012—but it’s already made serious headway, winning Artist and Album of the Year prizes at the 2013 Flagpole Athens Music Awards. Armed with support from New West Records, the blessing of producer David Barbe and a new batch of songs, New Madrid has its sights set on the Southeast and beyond. The group’s new release, Sunswimmer, finds it eschewing the jammy leanings of its freshman offering for more tightly-wound, affably psychedelic tunes.

Sunswimmer presents a band with a keen ear for melody, from the slow roll of “All Around the Locust” to the chiming, morphing groove of “And She Smiles.” Fans of Real Estate and Ponderosa’s breezy, tuneful songcraft will find plenty to like here, while Sunswimmer’s final couplet of extended jams will satisfy the headnodding set the band courted with its debut.

But he adopted the Classic City as his own before his star began to rise swiftly in the mainstream country world and still considers it his base, having sold out plenty of shows at local venues like the Georgia Theatre over the past few years. If you’re sick and tired of all the trend-hopping hipsterism on Sixth Street, check out Smith’s steadfastly twangy tunes at one of his two Wednesday slots. [GV]

Washed Out

Friday, Mar. 14, 12:30 a.m. @ Bar 96 Friday, Mar. 14, 7 p.m. @ Lady Bird Lake Saturday, Mar. 15, 1 a.m. @ Hype Hotel First-wave chillwaver Ernest Greene has settled quietly into Athens-area residency over the past year or so, playing precious few gigs in town (aside from the occasional DJ spot) but becoming a more common fixture at local bars and venues of late. Of course, his Washed Out project is known well beyond our borders, and his appearances at SXSW will no doubt be packed to the gills with adorers from worlds away. If you haven’t seen Greene’s live show since its unimpressive, laptop-centric beginnings, prepare to be astonished: Armed with a talented backing band that includes Greene’s wife, Blair, Washed Out has become a formidable presence on the festival scene.

threats & promises Music News And Gossip Nana’s Got a Brand New Bag: A new EP from Nana Grizol, Nightlights I–III + Tacoma Center 1600, is out now. Nana Grizol’s membership has always been fluid, and this time it’s composed of mainstay Theo Hilton as well as Jared Gandy, Robby Cucchiaro, Emily Simpson, Madeline Adams and Laura Carter.

It was recorded by Derek Almstead, and it’s available over at nanagrizol.bandcamp.com.

Musically, it doesn’t diverge one bit from the punky four-chord folk-pop Nana Grizol is known for, so relax. Downloads are available on a pay-what-you-wish basis, but the record is a benefit for the Queer Undocumented Immigrants Project, whose goals are to “organize and empower LGBTQ-identified undocumented people, LGBTQ immigrant youth and allies.” So, consider throwing in more than you might normally.

String Thing: The Cottage Sexual Assault Center and Children’s Advocacy Center is working to bring awareness to the 1BlueString campaign, the object of which is to raise awareness of the fact that one out of six men suffered childhood sexual abuse. The campaign asks that guitarists replace their high E string with a blue string. But where do you get said string? Well, head down to Nuçi’s Space Friday, Mar. 7 from 5:30-7 p.m. and pick up a free kit, which includes a blue string, a guitar pick and a sticker.

(If you’re unfamiliar with the genre, lemme direct you to a few noted favorites of his—Ken Navarro, Boney James and Brian Simpson—as points of reference.)

Segar spins classic and contemporary tunes on his show The Segar Jazz Affair, which airs on WXAG 1470 AM Tuesdays and Wednesdays 8–11 p.m. and Saturdays 4–7 p.m. He’s bringing his tastes to the Melting Point Sunday, Mar. 9 for a night of smooth jazz featuring Atlanta’s Fusion Triangle and poet Hazel Roach. Doors open at 5 p.m., and there will be performances at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at the door. The first 50 people will receive a free CD, too.

The sisterly duo will play together, but they’ll also play separately as Emily Backus and Catherine Backus. In pure Skipperdees self-effacing fashion, the flyers for the show say, “Whoever Wins… We Lose!” I assure you, though, no one will lose.

Something Old, Something New: Former Dead Dog member Ella Sternberg spent a good amount of time traveling over the past two years, but she’s back in Athens with a new band. It’s called Cancers, and it will debut at Hi-Lo Lounge Saturday, Mar. 8 with another killer and fairly new-to-town band, Little Gold. In pure 21st Century fashion, the band will have demo cassette tapes available, and if you wanna hear what you’ll be getting into, head to kandykanerecords.bandcamp.com.

Cancers is composed of Sternberg and new Athens resident Lenny Miller—who Sternberg mentions is Canadian, so I guess Cancers can rightly be referred to as “international”—and works mainly as a duo but picks up friends around the country to play and record. To wit, after this show, the band will head west with drummer CJ Frederick and Toronto bassist Luke Stackhouse. If you dig that fuzzy-toned pop sound of the early ‘90s, you’ll dig Cancers.

So, it makes total sense that the group will head to Seattle to record with Jack Endino, who recorded everything that made Sub Pop famous before so many others hitched their wagons to the gravy train. Those sessions are for an eight-song, single-sided LP.

Go Bar · 9 p.m. · $3 (21+), $5 (18–20) Yonkers, NY’s Palehound stops in at Go Bar en route to SXSW, the first leg of a long loop: a week down, a week in Austin and a week back up. The band has just a few recordings to its name—a cassette released last year and a new 7-inch, out last week—but its assured sound has attracted a fair amount of buzz, with plenty of sliding 6/8 rhythms and chiming lead guitar to balance out the grunge crunch beneath. There’s a ‘90s Pacific Northwest feel to the music, which takes equally from Sleater-Kinney’s bluster and the lingering melodic sense of Elliott Smith. Frontwoman Ellen Kempner’s charisma gives her lyrics a tossed-off quality that belies the wordplay at work—her delivery is forceful enough to make even a line like “Chamomile/ To help wash the day down” sound badass.

Stuyvesant, Overlake, In the Lurch

The World Famous · 9 p.m. · $TBA The ‘90s indie revival has gotten to such a level of saturation that you’d be forgiven for overlooking the bands on its fringes. But take a minute to dig what New Jersey trio Overlake is putting to tape. The familiar influences are all accounted for: Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, Yo La Tengo. But the group’s upcoming record, Sighs, plays like a bizarro version of the blown-out dream-pop of Kevin Shields and company. Songs like “Back to the Water” push the fuzz to the background, while frontman Tom Barrett’s shimmering guitar and hushed vocals sit defiantly up front.

Overlake’s music won’t win any awards for originality, but there is something about it that hits a very specific sweet spot. [Gabe Vodicka]

The Classic Center · 8 p.m. · $25–45 Since its inception as a street performance group in Brighton, England, in 1991, STOMP has snowballed into a global phenomenon that has performed in over 50 countries Overlake over the past 20 years. Using everything but conventional instruments, the eight-member troupe combines movement, visual comedy and ordinary objects to create a contemporary performance of rhythmic expression. Everyday household and industrial items find new life as musical instruments, as the percussionists coax complex sounds out of broomsticks, hubcaps, Zippo lighters, plumbing fixtures, matchbooks, garbage MUSIC | Monday, Mar. 10 cans and the like. The dynamic, perfectly synchronized production has been honored with numerous awards, including an Academy Award nomination, the Olivier Award for Best Choreography and an Emmy Caledonia Lounge · 9:30 p.m. · $5 (21+), $7 Award for its HBO special, Stomp Out Loud.

Advice for Life’s Persistent Questions Second Thoughts I broke up with a wonderful guy about a year ago. He was great, but he wasn’t right for me, and I felt like he deserved to be with someone who was as excited about him as he was about me. I still beat myself up about it, though. I’m 31 years old— who am I to be so picky? How do I let it go and stop beating myself up?

Too choosy

people cautious. The flip side of this transience is the good— people in Athens are used to newcomers and are often looking for new friends. The secret to making friends anywhere is to meet as many people as possible and be patient. It sounds like you’ve got a start on the first part with volunteering, church and Meetup. You’ll need to go to as many events, meet-ups, etc as possible, though. You may have to go alone sometimes since making new friends won’t have the same urgency for your husband as it does for you. Going alone can be uncomfortable, but it feels much more awkward to you than it actually is.

Last week, Grown Up was looking for places to meet someone to date in Athens. You can look for friends in all the same places.

Who are you to be so picky? You’re someone who values her own happiness, knows her own feelings and honors both.

Breaking up with a boyfriend you’re not excited about isn’t being picky; it’s doing the kindest thing for both of you. If you’re a 31-year-old woman, you can reasonably expect to live to be 80.

That feeling is always I have my fingers crossed for him, but I’m worth listening to. also worried that it’s going to be hard for him to make his business work financially.
