The District 3 Commission race should not be a popularity contest. We’re fortunate to have four attractive candidates (too bad, District 7), but the vote should not be based on whether one of them, Melissa Link, is a nice enough person. Sure, “nice� goes a long way, but it’s not enough. We need commissioners who will stand up for progressive ideas against a mayor who is smothering our Athens with a grandmotherly smile and a wink at her developer friends. We are highly likely to get four more years of developer-run government with the re-election of Mayor Denson pretty much assured, and we will desperately need a counterbalance in the form of commissioners who won’t roll over and play nice for the mayor and her cronies. That’s what the District 3 election should be about, and that’s the biggest criterion to consider. It’s not about nice. It’s about the ability to dig up facts and the willingness to raise hell when necessary. That’s what we should be considering. The commission already has enough members who play well with mayors. Speaking of which, if by some political long-shot Tim A juxtaposition rarely seen. Denson should get himself elected mayor, this whole situation would be turned on its head. Instead of a mayor who blocks all progressive initiatives, we would have a mayor who would be so progressive that the commission would have to start actually functioning and dealing with all the items suddenly on the agenda.

Now, More Than Ever Didn’t you think the Human Rights Festival would go out of style as a kind of throwback to the bad old times of racial prejudice, voting-rights suppression, gay-bashing, discrimination against women, warmongering, etc.? Not in the least. Unfortunately, the issues addressed by the Human Rights Festival are just as prevalent and just as crucial as ever, after 36 years and counting. The Human Rights Festival will gather on College Square again this Saturday and Sunday, May 3 and 4 and will as always feature speakers interspersed with musicians. Through the years this formula has brought us prominent activists from across the country and around town with a who’s who of local musicians donating their time and talents. This year will bring more of the same to this DIY, non-corporate event, where the organizers always clean up after it’s over and leave a small footprint but a big impression.

Harold Harold Williams, the world’s most popular saxophoneplaying CPA, is back home after a return to Shepherd Center in Atlanta. I haven’t heard from him since he’s been back but hope to see him this week and will report if I do. Meanwhile, his friends are holding the Harold Williams Benefit Golf Tournament to raise money for a van to help Harold get around while he’s paralyzed from that fall in his office. They’ll be out at the UGA course Monday, May 5. It’s too late to sign up, but for information on the tournament or to contribute, call tournament organizer Charlie Maddox at 706-340-4321. There are the usual rumors of a surprise guest.

Premiere at CinĂŠ Colby Bachiller informs us that as a senior mass media arts student at UGA she is the producer of the short film, The Sophomore, which premieres at CinĂŠ Thursday evening, May 1 at 7:30 p.m. The Sophomore is about “a college student who tries to find purpose in life amidst an underwhelming avalanche of mediocrity.â€? The film is directed by Evan Simmons, who wrote the story. Pete McCommons editor@flagpole.com

city dope The Gloves Come Off

mean, and it’s difficult to find one molecule of air between the four candidates to replace Commissioner George Maxwell on the issues; not to mention that forums often give candidates precious little time to respond to questions. It’s all about style. Melissa Link took a subtle swipe at Rachel Watkins, her main competition for the Cobbham/Boulevard/Normaltown vote, who is viewed by some as an empty suit. “I’m running for office because I’ve paid attention to the issues,” Link said. “I didn’t start paying attention to the issues because I’m running for office.” Link displayed the best grasp of the issues and offered the most specifics. Her aggressive tactics rub some folks the wrong way, though, and Watkins plays nice with others. “To be a commissioner, you have to listen to your constituents and work in a respectful tone with people you disagree with,” Watkins said, pointedly. Herb Gilmore, who used to be a planning commissioner and knows his stuff, said nothing really noteworthy. We need plans and jobs and education. His yard signs seem to have a symbiotic relationship with Nancy’s, which is probably all you need to know. Criminal defense lawyer and political newcomer Dustin Kirby had one intriguing idea: passing a “parallel ordinance” on marijuana possession. If you were caught with pot, basically you’d be given a ticket under the local ordinance rather than charged with a crime under state law.

Mayor Nancy Denson came out swinging in Round 3 against Nancy of “dragging [her] feet. Things not happening. Lack of challenger Tim “No Relation” Denson. (Yes, I’m going to wring action. I’ve even heard people use the word ‘obstruction.’” this lame boxing metaphor for everything it’s worth.) Student apartments downtown were another hot topic.

After East Friendship deacon and Athens-Clarke County Commissioner Harry Sims joked that candidates who visit the church usually do very well at the polls, Nancy taunted Tim like he was Joe Frazier, telling him “you better quit now,” because she’s been visiting there for 30 years.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ APRIL 30, 2014

Earth Day: The Georgia Climate Change Coalition held an Earth Day rally outside City Hall Tuesday, Apr. 22, and threequarters of our progressive government-in-exile, commissioners Kelly Girtz, Jerry NeSmith and Jared Bailey (Allison Wright is the other) took the opportunity to talk up a laundry list of environmental initiatives. Bailey reiterated his push to discourage the use of plastic bags by charging a fee (something Girtz and Tim Denson favor, as well). “It’s something we need to do,� he said. “Those plastic bags don’t break down, they break apart, and they often end up in our streams.� And the community is paying to clean them up, he said. Critics of the idea, like Mayor Nancy Denson, say that the fee would disproportionately affect the poor. Not so, said Bailey. “If you were on a reduced income and money was tight, you would bring your own bags,� he said. “If you cared about the environment, you would bring your own bags.� Retailers might be resistant at first, he said, but plastic bags cost them money, so they’d get on board. And they’d get to keep part of the fee. NeSmith, who was instrumental in founding the Athens Farmers Market, said Athens-Clarke County should support and expand local agriculture, noting that the broccoli we buy at the supermarket travels an average of 1,800 miles, burning fossil fuels and losing nutrition the whole way. He also proposed revising the local building code to provide incentives for gray water and rainwater plumbing systems, energy-efficient light fixtures and solar power. (Nancy has kept a “green building� ordinance written in the waning days of the Heidi Davison administration on hold for more than three years.) Girtz told the small crowd to continue demanding better of their elected officials on recycling, transit and alternative transportation, and to push private developers to do a better job. “Keep up the pressure on us,� he said.

Better Than Nothing: The University of Georgia will raise its lowest-paid employees’ salaries by $500. UGA’s minimum salary for fiscal 2015, which starts July 1, will be $22,750, up from the current $22,250, Vice President for Finance Ryan Nesbitt told reporters Wednesday, Apr. 23. Living-wage advocates have been pressuring UGA for years to raise wages, saying that custodians, cooks and groundskeepers’ low pay depresses wages for other workers in Athens. The university did so for several years but stopped in 2009, after the recession hit and budget cuts started. Gov. Nathan Deal included money for 1 percent merit-based raises in his 2015 budget. In addition, the Board of Regents raised tuition by 7 percent for the coming school year. Full professors rank last among UGA’s peer institutions in salary, associate professors are 11th of 13 and assistant professors are fifth, according to a recent analysis of American Association of University Professors data. UGA President Jere Morehead said that raising faculty salaries up to peer institutions’ standards will be a lengthy process. “I think you’ll see some progress this year, but there’s also a big gap to close,� he said. “It’ll take a series of pay raises over a period of years to close that gap and stay competitive.� As for the tuition hike, Morehead said UGA has been “very aggressive� in keeping costs down, for example by freezing housing, dining-plan, parking, transportation and health fees for the coming school year. Tell Me Something I Don’t Know: Athens has the eighthhighest income inequality in the country, according to Bloomberg News. It’s not a fluke: Athens was fifth in 2011. The 20 percent of Athenians with the lowest incomes have 1.8 percent of the wealth. The middle 20 percent (those who make around the median household income of $32,503) have 12.7 percent of the wealth, and the richest 20 percent have 56.7 percent of the wealth. The rest of the Top 10 most unequal cities are mainly Southern and include other college towns: Atlanta, New Orleans, Miami, Jackson, MS, Gainesville, FL, Tampa, Cincinnati, Providence, RI and Berkeley, CA. The late UGA demographer Doug Bachtel pointed to several factors in Athens’ inequality: a large number of minorities who tend to make less money than whites, as well as large numbers of students and recent graduates in the retail and service sectors. Not coincidentally, college graduates are also highly segregated from the less educated in Athens. “The economy is sharply divided between professors, doctors, researchers and administrators, and the workers who provide the colleges with basic services,� urban planner Richard Florida wrote on the Atlantic Cities website.

I’ll Drink to Open Carry

Guns and Unintended Consequences

he Old Bloviator should know full well by now that when something that seemed like a joke at the outset becomes a concrete reality, there is generally going to be hell to pay. North Carolina, which has been going to hell in a supersonic hand basket of late, even managed to get the draw on their neighbors to the immediate south by enacting a measure allowing permitted concealed weapons on playgrounds, school grounds and, yes, you are reading correctly, bars as well. Several other states had preceded the Tar Heels in their own willful descent into such lunacy, and not to be outdone, the venerable solons of the Palmetto State declared it just ducky legally to tote your piece into places purveying strong drink of all sorts. The O.B. cannot but recall that forcing patrons to surrender their six shooters upon entering the Long Branch Saloon struck Marshall Dillon and Miss Kitty as a wise and necessary precaution back in the Dodge City of yore, but the wannabe gunslingers in today’s state legislatures are apparently too young to remember “Gunsmoke,” even in reruns. Although in Georgia and South Carolina, proprietors are free to ban guns in their establishments, Pete Matsko, owner of Backstreets Pub and Grille in Clemson, SC has come under withering fire from gun crazies all over the country for posting what is admittedly a somewhat immoderately worded notice prohibiting patrons from bringing their guns into his place of business. The O.B. normally tries to steer himself away from blanket generalizations or stereotypes. In this instance, however, he is not only willing but itchin’ to shed that inhibition. Accordingly, he herewith declares forthrightly that he is flatly in accord with Mr. Matsko’s opinion of the type of people who have been agitating so fervently to take their guns where they clearly don’t belong. Indeed, he thinks Matsko’s appraisal of the types who would actually carry a concealed weapon into a bar is, if anything, far too charitable. And, Honey Child, don’t you fool yourself into thinking that for most of the folks who agitated for the sanction to do that very thing, this is merely about some philosophical abstraction where it’s more important to know you have a certain right than it actually is to exercise it. Beyond that, let’s be clear that, regardless of what they manage to say with a straight face, they ain’t taking their guns into a bar or any other public setting because they actually feel the need for protection. What they really need is some reason not simply to feel confident but to feel cocky, cocky enough even to do themselves a little bullying, perhaps. (Stay with him now, for the O.B. is about to blaze a trail that he thinks will actually lead us out of this utterly idiotic predicament.)

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ APRIL 30, 2014

You might think that carrying a concealed weapon would surely git ‘r done cockinesswise, but in all too many cases, it won’t. How are people going to know you as someone not to be trifled with or crossed if they can’t see your damn gun? Even if they spy that strange bulge in your pocket, they might just assume, a la Mae West, that you’re simply glad to see them. These pathetically self-loathing but nonetheless dangerous people are just like an old perv clad only in a raincoat, black socks and wingtips—they’ve got something they want desperately to show you, and it isn’t going to require much of a premise for them to succumb to the temptation to flash their 9mms. If the bearers of arms are so keen on showcasing their pieces, why not let ‘em? Better yet, why not make ‘em? Personally, the O.B. is inclined to believe that pulling out a concealed weapon is actually fraught with more homicidal potential than simply sporting one on your hip where everybody can see it. Mandating the “open carry” of legally acquired and registered firearms would at least give the folks who ain’t packing a chance to see who and how many others are. That way, they can make a truly informed decision in regard to how they really feel about downing a Bud and an overpriced burger beside a guy sporting a Glock. Although the gun bullies are barking louder right now, it might well be that this “if you got it, [you must] flaunt it” approach to handling this issue would ultimately reveal that there are more restaurant and bar patrons who actually object to eating and imbibing in a room full of lethal weapons than there are folks who really get off on dining in a setting laced with the scent of gun oil. Besides, although some laws, like those in the Carolinas, forbid people bearing arms from actually consuming alcohol in a bar, how is the proprietor to identify a scofflaw in this situation if his weapon is concealed? Of all the patent absurdities swirling about this latest triumph of the lunatic fringe, this one may actually cap the keg. While it is surely reasonable to presume that a person who frequents bars is likely not a teetotaler in the first place, it is truly an Olympian leap of faith to expect that he will become one in exchange for the freedom to take his firearm into a place where he must sit sober whilst those around him are getting soused, especially when said firearm is concealed. Don’t know about you, but it is a little hard for the O.B. to picture a man shoving a pistol into his coat pocket and saying, “Honey, I’m headin’ down to the bar for a glass of ice water.” James C. Cobb This column is excerpted from a longer Cobbloviate at flagpole.com.

It’s official: Gov. Nathan Deal last week signed the “guns everywhere” bill that expands the public areas where persons can legally take firearms. The governor’s action prompted differing reactions from different groups. Jody Hice, a talk show host who’s running for Congress, was so excited about the new law that he announced he was giving away a “His and Hers” combination of two Smith & Wesson handguns to the lucky winner of a drawing. “Instead of letting liberals take your guns, let a true conservative give you two for free,” Hice said. Outside the bill’s circle of supporters, the exhilaration was much more subdued. In various media accounts, the new law was described as “radical,” “reckless,” “the most extreme gun bill in America,” and “out of the mainstream.” What will be the consequences of allowing more firearms in public venues? Let’s look at some incidents that have happened recently. In Aurora, CO, a high school student was accidentally shot in the leg by a school employee who worked after-hours as an armed security guard. That could happen in Georgia: The new law authorizes school officials to give a teacher or an employee permission to carry a firearm in a school building. In Cullman County, AL, Tommy “T. J.” Tucker was shot and killed last January by another hunter who heard him rustling in the underbrush, mistook Tucker for a deer and fired at him. That could happen in Georgia: The new law allows hunters to use silencers, making it impossible for other people to know they’re in the vicinity of a hunting party. On Jan. 19, five people were wounded when firearms were accidentally discharged at gun shows in North Carolina, Ohio and Indiana. The gun shows were being held as part of “National Gun Appreciation Day” festivities. That could happen in Georgia: The

new law prohibits local governments from regulating gun shows “in any manner.” In Wichita, KS, an anti-abortion militant walked into the Reformation Lutheran Church, where he shot and killed one of the church ushers. The usher, George Tiller, was a physician who had performed abortions, a medical procedure that has been legal since a 1973 Supreme Court ruling. Similar incidents could happen in Georgia: The law allows firearms to be carried in churches if the church leadership agrees to “opt in” to the law’s provision. In Kalamazoo, MI, a 23-year-old man was shot and killed after getting into an argument in a bar. A witness said, “one guy took his glass and smashed it on the other guy’s face, and then seconds later the guy with the glass smashed on his face took out his gun and was walking towards him, shooting him multiple times.” That could happen in Georgia: The new law allows you to bring firearms into a bar or tavern, unless the owner decides to “opt out” of the law’s provision. When he signed House Bill 60 into law, Deal remarked, “The Second Amendment should never be an afterthought. It should be at the forefront of our minds.” That’s an interesting comment, considering that the governor and the legislators who passed the gun law work in a capitol building where visitors are absolutely prohibited from exercising their Second Amendment rights. There are metal detectors at every entrance, and the Capitol is patrolled by state troopers and police. Deal and the lawmakers know it is a terrible idea to allow firearms to be carried freely in any public venue. That is obvious by the security they insist upon in the building where they work. They are not about to put themselves in the same danger that Georgia citizens will now have to contend with under the state’s expansive new gun law. Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com

CONGRATULATIONS GRADUATES!  ƒ9ƒ0 lowing. That would surely make Bob proud, as he is not the kind of guy who always follows the rules either. Right there on the sidewalk, with the delivery man long gone, we stood and talked for at least 45 minutes. Bob told me all kinds of fascinating stories: how he and his wife Mary Frances met and how he got her to agree to dance with him; where they lived when he went to Yale Divinity School and some of the scholars they met while studying there. He told me about how he and his colleagues started the UGA Department of Religion and Philosophy more than 50 years ago. And how, when the powers that be tried to prevent the first African American students from enrolling, Dr. Bob and a few of his friends got involved, and in their own quiet way, worked some magic during those tenuous times. I learned more about the history of the University of Georgia that day on that sidewalk than I had learned in the many years I had been living in Athens.

My daughter often chooses to visit him and his endless supply of ice cream, rather than go anywhere else in town for an afternoon of fun. These days, he’s teaching her to play pool. He says that he and Mary Frances would play eight games a day after he retired. Mary Frances usually won—by a lot. He says she could have played on the women’s tour. When he speaks of her, there is joy and love and sadness and pride and humility. Because of this friendship, I feel a sort of connection to Junkman’s. After all, it’s the reason we met. I’d like to say thanks to everyone at the store for keeping things going long enough for me to make one of the best friends of my life. It’s got to be one of the most precious gifts your quirky establishment could have ever provided to anyone in your fine town. I think I’ll invite Dr. Bob to have an ice cream cone with me as we send you off into the sunset. Who knows what stories await me? Christine Rodick

Rapes at UGA—Many Fueled by Drinking—Go Unpunished

Greek Park, where UGA student Katherine Garcia says she was raped at a party in 2012.

S

unburned girls, sweaty and bleary-eyed from a day and long night of frat-hopping, streamed out of their last party at a University of Georgia fraternity house in Greek Park on Mar. 31, 2012. They were careful to step around 19-year old Katherine Garcia, who sat sobbing on the curb, legs and feet covered in blood. In 2013, 16 sexual offenses were reported on campus, according to the UGA Police Department’s crime statistics. None resulted in an arrest. The frequency of anonymous police reports, paired with the crime’s extremely low report rate, makes it difficult to track when, where and how many assaults actually occur in a given year. It’s even more difficult to prosecute aggressors, who are often friends or at least acquaintances of the victims. What isn’t difficult is finding underage UGA students who have had nonconsensual sexual experiences at parties while under the influence of alcohol, which UGA Chief of Police Jimmy Williamson calls the most common date-rape drug. Easiest of all to find on UGA’s campus is alcohol itself—especially if you are a 19-year old girl. Garcia arrived at the house that day with a couple of friends, having bounced around different fraternities’ spring parties— all-day blowouts that attract girls as well as potential new members. According to Garcia, a college-age male approached her quickly after they arrived and asked her to dance. “‘Let me get you a drink,’ he said. We walk over to the cooler, and a male hands the guy I was with a drink. At the time, red flags didn’t go off,” Garcia says. She had been drinking all day and said she went with it at the time because she was already intoxicated. She said it was an alcoholic punch from a cooler, but that she didn’t know exactly what was in it. “They always say ‘don’t take drinks from strangers,’ but you don’t really notice those transactions, especially when you’re under the influence,” she says. He asked her if she wanted to go upstairs, and Garcia acquiesced. Kristina Fiske, Garcia’s friend, was with her that night. “There was a guy that was standing next to me, and I asked him, ‘Do you know where they’re going?’ He goes, ‘Oh yeah, they’re going upstairs.’” Fiske says she must have gotten a positive cue from Garcia to ease her mind about letting her go upstairs alone: “I don’t think I would’ve let some random guy tell me they were going

upstairs. I figured she would’ve had to at least nodded to me or something to tell me she was fine. I was worried when she went upstairs. But you also don’t want to be that friend that’s always like, ‘Oh no, you can’t do that, you can’t do this.’ I kind of felt like maybe we’re at the point where we’re big kids and we can make our own decisions now.” Once upstairs, Garcia and the man were on a futon and started kissing. “We start to make out, and then everything else just kind of goes to black,” she says. “Then it was a sensation of waking up, like a coming-to-consciousness feeling, and I’m laying on my back, and he is on top of me, in the process of having sex with me.” Disoriented and terrified, Garcia screamed. The man persisted, putting his hand into her mouth to stifle her cries. That’s when the blood started. Garcia said he got off of her and started screaming, “What the fuck? Is this normal?” Stunned, she said she stood there in shock until he pointed her to a restroom. “I went to the bathroom and never saw him again,” she says. A girl in the restroom gave her a tampon, and she cleaned herself up as best as she could before finding Fiske downstairs. “When I went outside, I kind of realized everything that was going on and just sat down on the ground and just cried and cried and cried,” Garcia says. (Like most media outlets, Flagpole generally does not identify the victims of sexual assault, but Garcia stepped forward to help her healing process, reduce the stigma and bring attention to the issue of sexual assaults among college students.) At the insistence of an older friend, Garcia sought help days later at the North Georgia Cottage, a local sexual assault center. She received emergency contraception and precautionary drugs for sexually transmitted infections, as well as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners exam to collect evidence in case she wanted to press charges. Devon Sanger, the Cottage’s adult advocate, worked with Garcia in the immediate aftermath. Sanger says a good amount of her clients are UGA students, and alcohol is often involved. “I think that you have to be careful, though, because alcohol is not the cause of sexual assault,” she says. “But obviously, it helps the perpetrator and it inhibits the survivor. The more one drinks, the more likely they can’t think straight or get away, in certain instances.”

A Perfect Storm “If you’re underage and don’t have a fake ID, you go to fraternity parties, Greek or not,” Garcia says. Greek Life Director Claudia Shamp challenges Garcia’s statement, however, saying “that may be your personal experience, but it is not my experience. If underage students want to drink, they’re going to find ways to drink regardless of Greek affiliation.” Greek affiliation seems to make it easier, though. The Atlantic published a lengthy article in February detailing drunken mishaps at frat houses across the country—not just Animal House-style hijinks, but sexual assaults, falls and other accidents that resulted in serious injuries and deaths—and the lengths to which fraternities go to avoid liability. Closer to home, Georgia Tech suspended the Phi Kappa Tau fraternity earlier this month after a member circulated an email offering advice on “luring rapebait.” Fraternity houses are scattered around Athens, but a cluster of them are located on East Campus in a complex called Greek Park, which is UGA property. The houses there were built in 2009, after the university purchased the fraternities’ former houses on Lumpkin Street. According to Shamp, the alcohol policy in the houses is determined independently by each organization’s national chapter. Phi Delta Theta, for example, is dry. Consistent among the houses, however, are the policies against serving minors and using common-source alcohol containers like punch bowls or kegs. The guidelines concerning university events where alcoholic beverages are served or provided prohibits the selfservice of alcohol, requiring bartenders or wait staff to serve to consumers instead. Despite this rule, organizations do serve from common-source containers—according to Garcia and Fiske, an alcoholic punch was served from coolers on the night of Garcia’s assault. Williamson says the onus is on the organizations hosting parties to follow the rules. “There’s no doubt in my mind that there are things going on everywhere,” he says. “The reality is that we don’t live in a police state. Our country has rights, every individual has rights, and the police are going to interact with individuals based on the Constitution.”

UGA police Williamson says his job is to prove to the courts that the officers are available to work overtime at these events at a act was not consensual, which becomes difficult when both rate of $32 per officer, per hour. When they work these shifts, parties know each other and have been seen out together. Williamson says they’re bound by the rules and regulations of “When a person comes in and they feel like they’ve been taken the department, and that they represent UGA’s interests.

UGA’s Red Barn Moves to Oconee

W

hat do the University of Georgia’s Red Barn and the Iron Horse have in common? They’re both iconic pieces of the university’s history that were moved away from the middle of campus and now are in private hands. The modernist Iron Horse—unveiled in front of Reed Hall on May 25, 1954 by visiting professor and sculptor Abbott Pattison—was moved within a day because of its unpopularity among students and is now located on alumnus Jack Curtis’ farm off Highway 15 in Greene County. Though the Iron Horse was put out to Curtis’ pasture in 1959, it remains the property of the university to this day. In the ‘60s, before downtown provided the diversions it does now, students used to tip the horse over; this was remedied in the mid-‘60s, when Curtis had it mounted on a concrete slab to stabilize and protect it. The Iron Horse may be even more iconic due to the story behind the controversy surrounding it. In any case, without the support of a private patron like Curtis, who watched Abbott sculpt the horse, this piece of UGA history would be lost. Occasionally, private patrons are needed to step in and assist the university in preservation efforts. Like the Iron Horse, though far less controversial, UGA’s Red Barn was deemed an eyesore and moved. The Red Barn was built in 1915 and housed mules used by crop researchers. With its gambrel roof and red paint, it is more indicative of a Midwestern or Northern-style barn than Southern. In 1996, the barn was slated for demolition in order to build an alumni center on its site at the Intramural Fields. (Some argue that it was moved because it was a source of embarrassment for a university that wanted to establish itself as a major research institution.) Preservationists around Athens and in the College of Agriculture fought to save the barn from demolition and won. The university decided to move it to a remote location on South Milledge Avenue; the plan was to cut the building into two pieces and move it via the Loop. State highway officials wouldn’t allow it, so the barn was cut into four pieces and moved on county roads in February 1997. The cost of the move and stabilization of

the barn—which consisted of placing it on a concrete slab and repairing the roof—was $175,000. A sizable barn, 34 feet tall by 36 feet wide and 120 feet long, it could have served as a sports complex or alumni center, but repair costs have always proved prohibitive, especially after a storm in 2009 tore off part of the roof and siding. UGA has been criticized for letting this historic structure fall into disrepair over the years, but in a time of rising tuition and shrinking budgets, rehabilitating an unused, unhistoric barn on the hinterland of campus was not deemed the best course of action for the university. Over the years, several third-party groups have stepped forward, proposing to relocate the Red Barn. At one point, the Oconee County chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution wanted to move the barn and turn it into a museum and genealogical research center, but those plans never came to fruition. After the 2009 storm, UGA began looking in earnest for an outside donor who would be able to relocate and rehabilitate the barn—and in March, they found Tony Townley. He’s executive vice president of Zaxby’s, and he plans on relocating the Red Barn to land in Oconee County he purchased from UGA earlier this year. Townley says he has always been interested in historic barns, and especially this one because of its symbolic value. The land, near North Oconee High School, was land that Townley’s family had owned several generations ago before selling it to UGA. Tom Jackson, vice president for public affairs, says he is glad Townley stepped in to “preserve it and put it back in an agricultural setting.” According to Townley, the barn needs extensive rehabilitation, but he is confident he will be able to save the majority of the original structure. He is not yet sure what he will use the historic barn for—possibly to store antique cars and tractors or maybe as an event space. Who knows, in a few years the Red Barn in its new location may become the off-campus icon that the Iron Horse is today, marking a gateway into the Athens area.

The Downtown Master Plan Pt. 8: CARS

This is the eighth installment in a series of articles by University of Georgia College of Environment and Design professor Jack Crowley. In this series, Crowley explains the downtown Athens master plan effort that his team has generated to guide development downtown.

C

ontrary to the thinking that gas-guzzling cars and trucks are going away anytime soon, downtown Athens will have them (and welcome them) for years to come. In fact, with urban development trending back toward city centers, a good plan needs to include an appropriate accommodation of the auto. That doesn’t mean at the expense of dramatically improving other forms of transportation including pedestrian. Remember, if you arrive by car, you will become a pedestrian, and if the downtown is designed well, you’ll remain a pedestrian until all of your errands and fun are done. Plan or not, the downtown will grow considerably in the next 20 years. The question is, will it be with quality, beauty and economic resilience? Building an excellent network of other forms of transportation allows those living near the downtown to get there without a car. Doing so will free up street and parking spaces for those wanting to come from farther away.

Jack Crowley

Then there are those who will live in the downtown and leave their cars at home. Residential development presently proposed or under construction will double the population of the downtown to about 4,000. It will easily double again in the next 10 years, barring another crisis on Wall Street. That’s about 6,000 more people downtown. The streets element of the plan is to make it easier for the visitor in a car to quickly find a parking space, get out and enjoy walking. The bicycle hasn’t been mentioned here, because the plan’s goal is to get riders to and from the downtown, allowing them to mix on the streets, with all vehicles generally traveling at similar speeds. To comfortably accommodate the car, downtown lane widths of 11 feet are recommended everywhere. Whenever street reconstruction projects such as Clayton are scheduled, their designs should capture excess street widths for wider sidewalks, medians and landscaped areas. With the exception of narrow streets like Hull and Lumpkin, it is surprising how much space can be repurposed for quality pedestrian space without sacrificing auto access. If you are walking around downtown, you will see many places where streets have islands painted in the middle or at

intersections, where parking is prohibited to protect traffic sight lines. These islands and intersections can be curbed and planted to form “corner bump-out” and middle-of-the-street pedestrian refuges, just like the Broad Street crossing at the Arch. In fact, the opportunity exists to mirror the Broad Street crossing at the Arch by beginning another one at Starbucks. This crossing, with a center refuge, also creates a new opportunity to build a sloping sidewalk entry to the North Quad that bypasses the steps at the Arch and meets Americans with Disabilities Act standards. This second crossing would not affect the traffic light or turning movements from College Avenue. The plan also recommends a very important new auto and pedestrian access point to the downtown in connecting the southern end of Pulaski Street (at Broad Street) to the northern end of Florida Street (at Waddell). The new connection involves acquiring a tract of land on Broad, moving a UGA residential/office structure and the replacement of two Parkview Homes residential structures when the Athens Housing Authority is ready to renovate or upgrade that facility. The roadway, which would include a wide bicycle/pedestrian path, will serve to connect thousands of dormitory residents on Baxter Hill, as well as the rapidly expanding UGA West Campus, to the west end of downtown. It also completes a downtown-North Campus perimeter road system that includes Pulaski, Dougherty Street/ North Avenue, Thomas Street/East Campus Road and Broad Street. It also provides an important chance to extend the Pulaski Street designation south all the way to Baxter Street, thus ridding UGA of a short, one-block long, troublesome road named Florida! Washington, a dead-end street only five blocks in length, does not need three lanes. Two lanes are more than enough, and it should be a two-way street as well. Those are two different decisions that should follow a detailed design study when the street is scheduled for major repairs. Someone will worry about where the delivery trucks will park. If you remove the middle driving lane and add all of its width to the sidewalk space along the south side of the street (as the plan generally recommends) and you don’t clutter the added space with planting or furniture, it can continue to serve as a delivery space during designated times. At other times, it’s a nice, clear pedestrian space that can accommodate festivals and licensed street vendors. While the space can accommodate today’s delivery vehicles, we must transition our delivery system to smaller vehicles, as they’ve done elsewhere in the world for years. We’ll talk later about transferring large loads to smaller vehicles under the Classic Center parking deck, but we simply have to transition away from delivery trucks the size of earth movers in the middle of downtown streets. There is a very viable improvement that can be made on the Dougherty Street corridor. Public lands along the north side can be added to the street width to allow for landscaped medians. There is space to convert the North Avenue and Thomas Street intersection to a traffic circle that will also serve as a significant gateway at the downtown’s northeast corner. Artists will salivate over the prospects of their creations being featured in the circle’s center. I think that it should be reserved for a large statue of whoever is the sitting mayor. That way, each morning we will get a good political poll based on the ratios of positive to negative graffiti placed there the night before. Jack Crowley

observations Officials Meet in Secret When the Oconee County Board of Commissioners began an overhaul of its farmland protection program 15 months ago, it did so, County Attorney Daniell Haygood said at the time, to make the process more transparent and to make sure the county was following state open-records and open-meetings laws. Since that time, the board assembled two different committees, one of which replaced a citizen committee that had been screening farms for the county’s program. Those two county-appointed committees have met a total of seven different times, all without the public notice that would seem to be required by the state’s open-meetings law. During this time, the county also has passed up the chance to receive $175,000 in federal funds to protect a farm, though no decision to do that was made in an open meeting and no one has been able or willing to indicate how the decision was made. At present, the county program is on hold, waiting on a decision by the federal government to release money to protect a farm selected by the county’s newly appointed screening committee. That screening committee held five meetings, all without prior announcement. The farm that was selected by the county’s screening committee is one that the citizen committee it replaced also had identified as appropriate for protection. Had the county accepted the invitation of the federal agency to apply for the funding, that farm already could be in the process of being protected.

Challengers Favor Mixed Drink Sales Oconee County voters will get a chance to vote on liquor by the drink if two of the challengers to incumbents John Daniell and Margaret Hale are successful in the May 20 Republican primary. John Larkin, running against Daniell for Post 2 Commissioner, told about 40 people at a candidate forum Thursday, Apr. 17 at the Watkinsville Community Center that he would support putting a referendum on liquor by the drink on the ballot. Maria Caudill, one of two challengers to Hale for Post 3 Commissioner, said the same thing. Challenger Bubber Wilkes gave a more tentative answer, saying he would put the issue on the ballot if “enough people” ask him to do so. Daniell said he needs to hear more from the “average citizen” before he can decide what he’ll do. Hale also said she also has not made up her mind yet.

Liquor May Be on the Ballot While liquor by the drink has played a prominent role in all three of the candidate forums and was particularly central at the forum sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, Apr. 22, it is likely that the issue will be resolved before the terms of the current commissioners expire at the end of the year. Post 3 Commissioner Margaret Hale acknowledged that likelihood at the forum when she said the issue probably will be on the ballot in November. For that to be the case, the Board of Commissioners will have to vote by the end of August to put the issue before the voters. Even if Hale and incumbent Post 2 Commissioner John Daniell are defeated in the May 20 Republican primary or in a July runoff, the matter of the referendum is likely to be settled before a successful Post 2 challenger John Larkin or successful Post 3 challengers Maria Caudill or Bubber Wilkes would take office in January.

movie dope drew’s reviews BRICK MANSIONS (PG-13) Pail Walker’s remake of District B13 is

 a rather silly, thoroughly entertaining action flick featuring (not nearly

enough) Parkour. David Belle, one of the eight founders of Parkour, reprises his role as the ex-con, here called Lino, who runs, jumps and kicks his way through a walled-off ghetto to rescue his girlfriend and help an undercover cop recover a neutron bomb. Walker provides a solid presence a la the Fast and Furious franchise; the action world is going to miss him. Brick Mansions, like its predecessor is Belle’s movie, and he’s a blast to watch. First-time feature director Camille Delamarre (an editor who fell from Luc Besson’s rather fruitful filmmaking tree) captures the Parkour-dominated action with kinetic stylishness. But it’s the verging-on-camp script by Besson and Bibi Naceri that provides the movie with its distinctive voice. A character named Tom Berringer in a movie where RZA’s gangster quotes Wu-Tang (C.R.E.A.M.) that ends (almost) on a freeze frame? It’s as if Brick Mansions was made for future Bad Movie Nights, except that it’s not a completely inept piece of movie garbage. Movies like this remind audiences why Besson is an international action hero. THE OTHER WOMAN (PG-13) It takes way too long for Kate Upton to pop up in this intermittently funny and shrill female buddy comedy. Powerful professional woman, Carly Whitten (Cameron Diaz), finds out her wonderful new boyfriend, Mark (Nicolaj Coster-Waldau, “Game of Thrones”), is married. Carly and the wronged wife, Kate (Leslie Mann), team up for revenge with Mark’s other other woman, Amber (Upton). Diaz and Mann are showcased, and the results are mixed. As many laughs as Mann generates, she spends equally as much time crying and whining. Diaz continues to age gracefully, though one of the movie’s best gags might be the comedienne’s reaction to being upstaged by Upton, whose initial bikini-clad appearance doesn’t occur until an hour into the movie. The Other Woman is neither a total disaster nor a riotous female comedy. We’re not achieving Bridesmaids heights here. The comedy does begin to answer the question, how much is too much Leslie Mann? I’m sad and a little disappointed by The Other Woman’s response. THE QUIET ONES (PG-13) The return of Hammer Films continues on a positive trajectory with this nicely restrained chiller. In glorious 1974 fashion, an Oxford professor, Joseph Coupland (the severely underappreciated Jared Harris), and his band of pretty little Brits (The Hunger Games’ Sam Claflin, Erin Richards and Rory Fleck-Byrne) attempt an unorthodox cure of troubled young Jane Harper (Olivia Cooke, “Bates Motel”). After the requisite spooky paranormal phenomena, things get dangerous, and the young assistants begin to doubt Joseph’s diagnosis. Maybe Jane really is possessed by a demonic spirit. The movie, directed by John Pogue (his flawed Quarantine sequel could have been much worse), turns into an Exorcist with science rather than religion attempting the cleansing. Pogue rather skillfully blends found 16mm footage and traditional filmmaking. Still, the movie doesn’t capture any Blair Witch tension in what should be its found footage highlight, the pre-climactic attic sequence. The cast, especially Harris and Cooke, being quite convincing, increase the movie’s effectiveness, and Pogue shoots everything in the old country house with a horrifying pall. The Quiet Ones mixes newfangled horror gimmicks with a more old-fashioned aesthetic. The above average result is enough to spook anyone (un)lucky enough to watch it in an empty theater (i.e. me).

Director Amma Asante, who previously helmed A Way of Life, won the SIGNIS Award from the Miami Film Festival and the Directors to Watch Award from the Palm Springs International Film Festival. With Miranda Richardson, Matthew Goode and Emily Watson. CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER (PG-13) Cap (Chris Evans) returns in his second solo outing, and it’s a slight improvement over the first, a definitively middle-of-the-pack Marvel movie. As an agent of SHIELD, Captain America, aka Steve Rogers, must adjust to his new reality and save the world, regularly. When seeds of distrust are sewn among members of SHIELD, Cap has to figure out if he can trust anyone, including Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) or new pal Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie). Cap’s transition to the modern world gets even more complicated once a new enemy, the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), turns out to be an old acquaintance.

movie where most of the interactions take place via phone, Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman is forced to get creative and winds up with his most enjoyable movie since, very arguably, 2001’s Evolution. GOD’S NOT DEAD (PG) In this Christian feature, a college student, Josh Wheaton (Shane Harper), has his faith challenged by a philosophy professor (Kevin Sorbo, best known as TV’s Hercules) who does not believe in the existence of God. TV’s Superman, Dean Cain, costars, while Christian popsters Newsboys and two of “Duck Dynasty”’s Robertsons, Willie and Korie, provide cameos. Director Harold Cronk’s three previous features (Ever heard of The Adventures of Mickey Matson and the Copperhead Treasure? Me neither.) sound pretty small-screen. THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL (R) Wes Anderson’s latest stars Ralph Fiennes as Gustave H., legendary concierge at the famous hotel, who memorably mentors lobby boy, Zero Moustafa (Tony Revolori, The Perfect Game). The cast is huge with F. Murray

also playing A HAUNTED HOUSE 2 (R) A Haunted House 2 is a lot more things than its predecessor. It’s a lot more misogynistic, racist and sexualized; too bad it’s also less funny. Hard to believe, I know. Co-writer and star Marlon Wayans and his pals resort to some of their laziest parodies yet as Malcolm continues to be terrorized by evil spirits in the new home he shares with his girlfriend (Jaime Pressly) and her two kids (why, Ashley Rickards of MTV’s “Awkward,” why?). Have you seen the superior horror films The Conjuring and Sinister? Did you think all they were missing were doll sex gags and what barely passes for off-color humor? Wayans even has the audacity to imply that the Scary Movies only suck now that his family isn’t involved. THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 (PG-13) Marc Webb’s mostly successful reboot of Spider-Man gets a sequel. Hopefully, this franchise has learned a thing or two since juggling three villains in the less successful Spider-Man

Emma Stone and Sally Field return as Gwen Stacy and Aunt May, respectively. Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci collaborated on the screenplay with Jeff Pinkner. BEARS (G) For Earth Day 2014, Disneynature releases another nature documentary from two-time Emmy winner Alastair Fothergill (Chimpanzee, African Cats and Earth), again working with his African Cats co-director Keith Scholey. This year, Fothergill and Scholey follow a family of Alaskan bears. John C. Reilly narrates the lessons being taught to the family’s two young cubs. Disneynature’s Earth Day track record is pretty strong, and the trailer for this family-friendly movie promises another appealing, heartwarming tale.

What really goes on in Pete’s office… Captain America: The Winter Soldier redefines the Marvel Universe more than any of the previous features. DIVERGENT (PG-13) Hunger Games comparisons are inevitable. While Veronica Roth’s book loses the headto-head against Suzanne Collins’ bestseller, Neil Burger’s filmed adaptation might best Gary Ross’ original Games. In a dystopian future Chicago, humanity is divided into five factions. Right before Beatrice Prior (Shailene Woodley) is to choose the faction in which she’ll spend the rest of her life, the teenager learns she is Divergent, whatever that means. The movie distills 500 pages of plot into a pretty decent two-plus-hour flick as scripters Evan Daugherty and Vanessa Taylor smartly eschew Tris’ inner monologues, save for her opening and closing thoughts. DRAFT DAY (PG-13) Kevin Costner stars as Sonny Weaver Jr., the general manager of the NFL’s downtrodden Cleveland Browns. On the morning of draft day, he receives the chance to select first, an opportunity that brings with it a season’s worth of controversy and drama. Should he draft the surefire quarterback (Josh Pence) from Wisconsin, the swell linebacker (Chadwick Boseman) from Ohio State or the Florida State running back (Houston Texans player Arian Foster) who recently had a run-in with the law? Everyone from his head coach (Denis Leary) to his team owner (Frank Langella) to his mom (Ellen Burstyn) knows what Sonny should do. In a

HEAVEN IS FOR REAL (PG) Good for you, Hollywood. You’re as capable of pandering to faith-based audiences as to any other. Money’s money, am I right? Based on the bestselling account written by Reverend Todd Burpo about his four-year-old son’s trip to heaven, the movie feels as real as any paranormal movie purported to be based on a true story. Todd (Greg Kinnear) works several jobs to keep his family afloat but almost loses everything, including his faith, after news of his son’s experience gets out. Sweet little Colton (cute Connor Corum) tells his dad about singing angels, Jesus and his technicolor horse and the sister that was never born. The movie gets by as far and as long as it can on its talented cast, including Kinnear, Kelly Reilly (Flight), Thomas Haden Church and Margo Martindale; the acting is far above any of Sherwood Pictures’ releases. Writer-director Randall Wallace (an Oscar nominee for Braveheart) can’t help the treacly material, almost entirely dependent upon a very young child actor, with whom he’s saddled. It’s hard to imagine Heaven will resonate with crossover audiences, even with its actual Hollywood stars (if that’s what Greg Kinnear can actually be called).

JULES ET JIM 1962. Dr. Richard Neupert, a UGA Film Studies professor and Ciné board member, presents a French Cinema Series celebrating both modern and classic French films. The series concludes with Francois Truffaut’s classic period romantic drama about two friends, Jules (Oscar Werner) and Jim (Henri Serre), who are in love with the same woman, Catherine (Jeanne Moreau). Jules et Jim is an excellent entry to French cinema. Come enjoy it on the big screen. (Ciné) MUPPETS MOST WANTED (PG) After the success of their reunion, the Muppets embark on a world tour on the advice of their new manager, Dominic Badguy (Ricky Gervais). But when the World’s Most Dangerous Frog, Constantine, replaces Kermit, the world tour becomes a globe-hopping heist to steal the crown jewels. It being a Muppets movie, expect oddball movie callbacks and celebrities to pop up in the most random of cameos. The three human leads—Gervais, Tina Fey and Ty Burrell—are great foils for the Muppets. NOAH (PG-13) Noah may be the strangest blockbuster since Ang Lee’s Hulk. Fortunately, the new biblical epic is more successful. It also isn’t your Chuck Heston biblical epic. Russell Crowe (no actor is more comfortable in the past than this guy) effectively grimaces and growls as the man chosen by the Creator to save the animal kingdom from a world-cleansing flood in Darren Aronofsky’s foreboding take on this beloved children’s bible story. Opening with a summary emphasizing the mythic, Noah establishes a harsh, sci-fi pre-apocalypse for Noah and his family—wife Naameh (Jennifer Connelly) and sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth. After a visit with his ancient grandfather, Methuselah (Anthony Hopkins giving good Yoda), Noah begins a decade-long task of building his ark, while giant stone creatures (one recognizably voiced by Nick Nolte) protect his family from the evil men led by Tubal-cain (Ray Winstone). OCULUS (R) Filmmaker Mike Flanagan’s followup to his effective little horror film, Absentia, feels like the next step in his career maturation. When her brother Thomas (Brenton Thwaites) is released from a mental hospital, Kaylie Russell (Karen Gillan) plans to prove that what destroyed her family was neither her father, Alan (Rory Cochrane, Argo), nor her brother

but a supernatural force living in an antique mirror. Mix John Carpenter’s underrated Prince of Darkness and The Amityville Horror with a touch of Jack Ketchum splatterpunk and some mouth-horror that would impress body-horror impresario David Cronenberg. The result is this unsettlingly satisfying horror flick. Oculus builds its terror on tension, atmosphere and small, effective doses of gore rather than the buckets of blood. l PROTECTOR 2 (R) Tony Jaa reunites with his Ong-Bak and The Protector director, Prachya Pinkaew, for a sequel to the 2005 hit. Afraid his elephant, Khon, will end up in the hands of gangster LC (RZA), Kham (Jaa) refuses to sell Khon. Soon Kham is framed for murder and on the run from the martial artist nieces, Ping Ping (Jija Yanin) and Sue Sue (Theerada Kittisiriprasert), of the deceased elephant trader. You already know whether you want to watch this Thai import. RIO 2 (G) Blu (v. Jesse Eisenberg), Jewel (v. Anne Hathaway) and the three kids leave the wilds of Rio de Janeiro for the real wilds of the Amazon, where Blu must battle his father-in-law (v. Andy Garcia). I don’t recall caring that much for the first trip to Rio, though it could have been worse. The voices of Will.i.am, Jamie Foxx, George Lopez, Tracy Morgan, Jemaine Clement, Leslie Mann, Rodrigo Santoro and Jake T. Austin return, while Garcia and Bruno Mars headline the newcomers. WALK OF SHAME (R) Elizabeth Banks stars as Meghan, a television reporter who dreams of being a news anchor. The night before the biggest show of Meghan’s life, she engages in a one night stand (with James Marsden) that leaves her stranded, sans phone, car, ID or money, in downtown LA. Banks and Marsden are joined by “Community”’s Gillian Jacobs, Sarah Wright Olsen and Bill Burr. Steven Brill (Little Nicky and Mr. Deeds) wrote and directed. We know Banks is funny; is the movie? TRANSCENDENCE (PG-13) A mature science fiction film about the dangers of technology from Dark Knight filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s personal cinematographer, with a cast that includes Johnny Depp and Morgan Freeman isn’t a surefire blockbuster. Depp stars as Dr. Will Caster, an expert in artificial intelligence, whose mind is uploaded into cyberspace after his death at the hands of anti-technology terrorists. Unfettered by the shackles of humanity, Caster is able to solve pretty much all of mankind’s problems in a couple of days/weeks/months/years. To be fair, were Transcendence a heady sci-fi novel, it would have read exactly the same: slow, sort of intellectually satisfying and useful for separating the cool geeks from the chaff.

movie pick The Woman Who Fell to Earth UNDER THE SKIN (R) Moviegoers lamenting a lack of mystery and real strangeness in contemporary cinema will find plenty to love in director Jonathan Glazer’s latest, the perplexing yet always hypnotic science fiction movie Under the Skin. Based on Michel Faber’s 2000 novel of the same name, Glazer’s picture is a truly immersive experience. It’s an art house head trip, beautifully visualized by cinematographer Daniel Landin and given an anxietyfueled soundscape by composer Mica Levi, with a bold, steely and confident performance from Scarlett Johansson at its inky-dark heart. Fans of Johansson’s mainstream Hollywood movies will be in for an icy cold surprise, however. Under the Skin is bizarre, aggressively arty and creepy. It’s also one of the best movies Scarlett Johansson of the year so far and proof that Glazer is one of our most fascinating filmmakers working in commercial cinema. Johansson plays an alien who has come to Earth—specifically gritty and decayed Glasgow, Scotland—and is mysteriously traveling through the city picking up men and then luring them to their deaths for some unexplained purpose. These scenes, using mostly non-actors and filmed with hidden cameras, give the movie a strong sense of authenticity and edginess. Johansson is mesmerizing

to watch, as her character prowls the streets hunting for sexually needy men. The scenes are unnerving, because the alien is clearly studying its prey before it destroys them, sponging up their humanity so that it may become more like us. The scenes snap with an awkwardness that is refreshing, since many of the men are shy and uncomfortable dealing with Johansson, unaware that they’re interacting intimately with one of the most recognizable actresses in the world. But there’s also something oddly, eerily beautiful going on, too: The alien views our world with beguiling wonder and increasing terror. Glazer superbly conveys how the otherworldly is embedded in the mundane. Nicholas Roeg and David Lynch are similarly both masters of delivering strong emotional impressions in their best work, but Glazer untethers Under the Skin from narrative constraints even more, with the notable exception of Lynch’s cult classic Eraserhead. Like both Roeg and Lynch, Glazer shares in plunging the viewer into an unfolding mystery and has no qualms about leaving us within it. Under the Skin is an extraordinary journey and one you won’t soon forget. Derek Hill

On the other hand, it’s likely Athens’ creative diversity contributes to the group’s multifaceted sound, which is pummeling on the surface but hides melodic and other such intricacies underneath. Woolfolk also cites Faster Circuits and Old Smokey, two decidedly non-heavy local groups, as favorites. The band hints at a more streamlined sound for the follow-up to Curtains, which is already being prepped; The Powder Room plans to enter the studio with Utah guitarist Wil Smith next month to lay down some initial demos. “They’re shorter,” Woolfolk says of the new batch of songs. “Some are just as grungy and nasty, but [they’re also] even poppier.” Often times, says Sims, “the songs are better when they just kind of spill out, and you don’t overthink it… It’s something you don’t really analyze. We just write songs and hope they’re not terrible and people like to listen to them.” For the moment, the band will relish the satisfaction of having crafted a decidedly impressive debut. The Powder Room will headline an album release show Friday at its de facto venue home, Caledonia. Looking ahead, a summer tour is on the horizon, the group’s first since having most of its gear stolen at a Chicago stop last November. “We’re great,” says Woolfolk, when asked about the recovery from that setback, a recovery helped along by a successful fundraising campaign set up by a friend of the band. “It was amazing that people came together and did that for us. We’re restored.” Still, like a certain mulleted pitcher, The Powder Room isn’t likely to forgive and forget anytime soon. Says Woolfolk, “We might avoid Chicago for a few years.” Gabe Vodicka

Barn Burners Mount Moriah’s Confident, Forceful Miracle Temple

T

he cover of Mount Moriah’s sophomore album, Miracle Temple, shows a barn on fire. Despite the implied chaos, there’s a sense of calmness to the rest of the image; the artwork underscores that even in the midst of radical change, there is beauty to be found. When one compares the Chapel Hill, NC-based three-piece to its members’ earlier projects, it seems it has set out to extinguish fires, moving from cacophonous metal and post-punk into more traditional, calmer, country-inspired sounds. The band’s lead singer, Heather McEntire, was formerly a member of the punchy Bellafea but made a conscious effort to step into a more vocally lush project this go-around. Guitarist Jenks Miller divides his time between Mount Moriah and the experimental metal band Horseback, also stationed in North Carolina. For Miller, Mount Moriah’s latest offering isn’t a radical departure from his other, heavier work. “To my ears, Miracle Temple has a harder edge to it, and thematically there’s a more foreboding sense of darkness,� he says. “It’s also a more confident and forceful record than the debut.� Although Miller admits Mount Moriah is “at heart a country-slash-folk-rock band,� he is quick to emphasize the links between his bandmates’ various musical endeavors. “The fact that we come from diverse musical backgrounds pushes the music in interesting places, as musicians navigating this shared creative space,� he says. “[We] bring elements of our other projects into Mount Moriah in very subtle ways. There are certain touches—rough edges here and there, a certain sense of confrontation, maybe—that we bring in from the heavier bands,� adds Miller. Mount Moriah’s label, Merge Records, has a reputation for being an indie rock powerhouse, launching the careers of artists like The Mountain Goats, Bob Mould, Spoon and Superchunk (the label was founded and is still run by Superchunk guitarist and singer Mac McCaughan). Although Mount Moriah’s sound delves into more country-influenced territory

than those bands, Miller isn’t surprised the label has been so supportive. “The Merge brand‌ is more synonymous with indie rock and pop,â€? he says, “but there’s a lot on the label that’s not necessarily of that mold.â€? The relationship started when the band’s debut album caught Merge’s attention. Shortly after, the label agreed to reissue the selftitled, self-released record. “Heather and I didn’t press vinyl copies when we originally put it out,â€? says Miller, “so it made a lot of sense to have a bigger label with greater resources do that.â€? The partnership has allowed the band to write and record more frequently, practices Miller sees as imperative to staying on the cultural radar. “Writing and recording at a faster pace plays to a band’s advantage,â€? he says. “A record means a lot less these days than it maybe used to. It’s a drop in the bucket‌ I guess the best strategy for a band is to create and sustain a body of work long enough that people take notice of what you’re doing.â€? In addition to their two strong, genrebending albums, Miller and company have garnered a fair share of attention for their live show. Mount Moriah’s praises have been sung by The Mountain Goats’ John Darnielle, and the group was featured on Bon Iver’s celebrity iTunes playlist in 2011. The band has also enjoyed raving reviews from Paste, Stereogum and other buzz-generating blogs. Still, flattering as the praise may be, Miller doesn’t want to put too much stock in such endorsements. “Every aspect of the music business seems very fickle these days,â€? says Miller. “I try not to think about it.

Back in The Loop

The UK Shoegaze Pioneers Come Stateside

H

indsight says that maybe a long holiday would have sorted out many things,� says Richard Hampson, “but hindsight is only fruitful when it’s too late, of course.� Hampson is discussing the tensions that led to the dissolution of his band, Loop. The thunderous UK shoegaze pioneers did take a holiday of sorts. After releasing three tremendously loud LPs in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, the group split in 1991. A holiday and a half later, Hampson has reunited with bandmates Neil Mackay (bass) and Scott Dowson (guitar) to celebrate the wonders of amplifiers operated at high volumes. In 2014, as traces of psychedelia can be found in nearly every aspect of musical culture, the rejuvenation of Loop makes plenty of sense. As the band’s sole consistent member throughout its brief early existence, Hampson’s vision smashed together primal aggression and minimalist repetition. The group’s spaced-out heaviness stands as a precursor to acts as diverse as Lungfish, Torche and Deerhunter. But Loop is its own bracing, monolithic juggernaut of a beast, bludgeoning audiences without much regard for song structure. If you like the way a Loop song starts, that’s great; it’s going to sound like that for a while. Loop wears its band name well. While Hampson busied himself with solo work after his band’s demise, Loop’s legend steadily grew, and the holiday’s end began to come into view. In 2008, Hampson got together with longtime mastering engineer Kevin Metcalfe (U2, David Bowie) to remaster the group’s three LPs—1987’s Heaven’s End, 1989’s Fade Out and 1990’s A Gilded Eternity.

“

“We had access to all the original master tapes, so we went right back to the source,� says Hampson, who quickly makes his position on digital piracy quite clear. “Sadly, mastering them so well will only be heard by people that actually listen to music on a decent hi-fi system. Much of our hard work is

Tom Sheehan

lost on people who feel entitled to liberate our material via illegal sites and listen to vastly inferior MP3 files on tiny laptop speakers.� Indeed, going “back to the source� wouldn’t work in terms of doing justice to Loop’s music, and Hampson soon became convinced that it needed to be experienced anew. After being coaxed into curating and performing at one of the final iterations of the storied All Tomorrow’s Parties “holiday camp� festivals in the UK, the band has come stateside for the first time in over two decades. How long it will continue to tour is unclear. “It was at a very tricky time with untold amount of pressures that just built up until we imploded,� says Hampson, regarding Loop’s initial disintegration. “Sadly, being in a band

can create more problems than being a solo artist, because it is hard to keep everyone happy. Adding frustrations and tiredness from pressures that shouldn’t be there just adds to a possible dangerous cocktail. “Already,â€? he adds, “there have been changes to personnel.â€? Following Loop’s performance at ATP, original drummer John Wills bowed out of the reunion. (He has since been replaced by Wayne Maskell.) “With all the best intentions, sometimes things are just not meant to be,â€? Hampson says. “I’m not prepared to go into details‌ Right now, one can only concentrate and focus on what is in front of you, and it’s advisable to take small steps and find a balance to possibly move forward.â€? According to Hampson, the group has no plans to record anything new, or extend the reunion beyond the dates currently scheduled. But the New York Times reported on something curious at the end of Loop’s performance at Manhattan venue Le Poisson Rouge. Following a set-closing cover of “Mother Skyâ€? by Krautrock godfathers Can, Hampson left the audience with a cryptic farewell: “We’ll be back soon.â€? Jeff Tobias

Futo Jones, was like a noisy encyclopedia of rock and roll tropes, pop-isms, unabashed yet sacrilegious hero worship and a hell of good time. Missed ‘em in their early 21st Century heyday? Well, punter, catch the reunion happening at Max Saturday, May 3. There’s no word on whether the Brooklyn, NY-based Jones will be on board for this, but what we know for a fact is that Strickland will be joined by Shannon Perry and Michael Pierce, who are ex-members of Macon, GA band Ghost Train. Also on the bill are local rockers Thunderchief and Columbia, SC band Space Coke, which my forgiving side is inclined to believe is a reference to soda pop, but who knows? Is This Thing On?: The Internet has provided well this week, and our biggest blessing comes from former Athens OnTV producer Theodore Radford. From 1994–1998, Radford produced many shows for the cable-access channel, and it’s a real treat to be able to go back and see some of them. Most contain members of the Athens music scene, too such as “Box Office Banter� with Paul Trudeau and Ballard Lesemann, “Cult Classic Theatre� with Jim Stacy as costumed horror host Dr. Crepula and music interview show “Soundcheck� (posted videos include

show “Dollars and Sense,� which is sort of a no-budget version of “The Price is Right.� There’s also a compilation of the animated show “Dank Sandy’s,� which is way funnier than anything named that deserves to be. There are too many Athens folks to name with regard to all this, but let it be known that it’s totally homegrown and I’ve had it on Roku for months. So, spend a day catching up and then keep watching for updates. For more info, see athenspublic.com and facebook.com/ athenspublic. Press Here: OK, I admit full-stop that I’ve got a soft spot for Patrick Brick’s project, Futo. Reconceived over the past year or so from its initial identity as an acoustic project, it’s now solidly in the synthesizer-keyboarddance-pop category. It’s not that Brick’s previous work was weak—far from that—it’s just that I think his songs are so much better realized this way. Apparently, he agrees, given his newest full-length, Dog Dreams. There are still hints of the old sound (see “Pocket Change�), but it’s still way more Pet Shop Boys than Peter, Paul & Mary. Dig it the most over at futo.bandcamp.com.

ARTifacts Rock Athens Art Rocks Athens is officially launching its series of May exhibitions with “ARTifacts Rock Athens: Relics from the Athens Music Scene, 1975–1985” at the UGA Special Collections Libraries. Though the Athens music scene received international attention for producing the likes of R.E.M, The B-52’s and Pylon, the emerging art scene between 1975–1985 that gave rise to the music is often overlooked. The Art Rocks Athens Foundation is a nonprofit organization that was created to explore and document this relationship between art and music through a series of retrospective exhibits. An opening reception for “ARTifacts” will be held on Thursday, May 1 from 6–10 p.m. A screening of Spencer Thornton’s footage of the very first time the B-52’s were caught on film will be followed by a talk from Michael Lachowski, public relations specialist at the Georgia Museum of Art, publisher of Young, Foxy and Free and founding member of Pylon.

In “Shapes that Talk to Me: The Athens Scene, 1975–1985” at the Georgia Museum of Art, paintings from the museum’s permanent collection will be reinterpreted and augmented with other works. For a complete schedule of opening receptions and more information about each exhibit, visit artrocks athens.com. Get Your Geek On: Rose of Athens Theatre’s second annual AthCon—set for Saturday, May 3 from 10 a.m.–midnight at the Holiday Inn Express—is a convention featuring a masked costume ball, cosplay contest and Pathfinder gaming room, plus plenty of anime, comics and photo ops with characters.

The Classic Center · 7:30 p.m. · $20–70 The Addams Family musical is inspired by the illustrations of legendary cartoonist Charles Addams, who in his prolific, six-decade career created thousands of cartoons, most popularly the darkly bizarre yet endearingly deranged family of ghoulish oddballs. In this chapter of the Addams Family saga, daughter Wednesday (played by Jennifer Fogarty) has fallen in love with a caring, intelligent and normal guy, Lucas Beineke (Bryan Welnicki), to the horror of her father, Gomez (Jesse Sharp), who has been requested to keep the secret from his beloved wife, Morticia (KeLeen Snowgren). In typical Addams fashion, everything spirals out of control when the Addamses decide to host a dinner party to meet the new boyfriend and his parents. Through witty and macabre lyrics and dancing, the musical brings the comic characters to life. [Jessica Smith]

40727 Gladys really stole my heart. She’s an owner surrender, which means she’s out of time already. She is very confused about this strange, loud place and feeling vulnerable, but if you take your time with her, you discover what a gentle, extremely well-behaved girl she is. Excellent on a leash, stays close and is attentive, but not a jumper-upper or highenergy dog. Young Boxer mix, spayed, 40 pounds. She’s a real treasure.

Advice for Life’s Persistent Questions A Dog? No Kidding My kids have been begging for a dog. They’re 11 and 13, and they swear they’ll help, but I just know that my wife and I will end up doing all the dog care. My wife and I have talked about it, and we do like the idea of a family pet. My wife also thinks having a pet will be a good way to teach the kids responsibility, but I’m still hesitant. What do you think? The Dog Catcher

weren’t close friends. I don’t really have romantic feelings for him, and nothing has ever happened between us, but I have always had the feeling that he wanted something to. We both went away to college, which should have naturally ended our sort-of friendship. But now, whenever there’s a school break—Thanksgiving, spring break, summer, whatever—he calls or emails me asking to go out to lunch, dinner, a movie or something. I went a few times, but these all feel like dates, which I don’t want to do with him. He always invites me; he always pays; he always compliments the way I look or something, and I just don’t want to hang out with him anymore. The problem is, he’s very persistent, and I don’t want to be rude. When he asks me to lunch or whatever, I’ve tried saying, nicely, “Oh, I’m really busy this break, and I don’t think I’ll have time,� but he just keeps at it. Once he even said to me, “I just want to see you; I don’t care when we go out. We can have lunch at two in the morning if that’s the only time you’re free.� What do I say to that? Once, a while ago, I got up the nerve to tell him that I had the impression that he wanted to be more than friends and that I didn’t feel that way and I had a boyfriend, so I was reluctant to spend time with him. He came back with, “I just want to be as good friends as you want us to be. I don’t care that you have a boyfriend. You’ve always had a boyfriend.� How do I tell him “no thank you� without being rude? Miss Manners

Lee Gatlin

You’re absolutely right. You and your wife will end up doing all the dog care, unless you insist that your kids become responsible before you get the dog. Here’s how you do that and avoid doing all the work yourself. Tell the kids you’re willing to consider getting a dog, but that you’ll need help caring for it. They will swear up and down that they’ll help. They’ll promise things they can’t possibly do: I’ll walk it five miles every day; I’ll play with it for three hours each night; I’ll teach it to pick up its own toys. Ignore those promises and tell them exactly what you want them to do each day: the 11-year-old will feed the dog twice a day, and the 13-year-old will walk it once (or twice) a day. Then, you show them a calendar with boxes for the next 30 days. Your kids must do these dog chores, without a dog, for the next 30 days. Every morning, somebody puts a bowl of water on the floor and changes it in the afternoon. Every day, somebody picks up a People, especially women, leash, goes outside and walks are socialized to be “nice.� around the block. No exceptions. Often, “nice� is misrepresented When your kids complete as “agreeable� or “not permitted their dog chores, they put an x to say ‘no thank you’ without an on the calendar. If they don’t external reason.� But that’s not do it, or don’t do it to your what “nice� is. And if it were, satisfaction (like they forget “nice� wouldn’t be worth strivto feed the dog until 11 p.m. ing for. or step outside and come right The flip side of this “nice� back in instead of doing the business is that when someone, whole walk), they leave that day like this guy, asks you out, and blank. Do not push them to do you say “no,� there exists this these chores. You can remind air of, “What’s your problem? I them gently, but don’t force was just being nice.� And this them. And, under no circumdynamic creates some problems. stances should you excuse them The way the social contract or do the chores for them. It’s usually works is someone asks raining? Put on a raincoat and you out, you say “no� indirectly walk the dog. You want to go by saying you’re too busy, to a friend’s house after school? advice@flagpole.com or the asker hears your rejection Come home and feed the dog and moves on. In refusing to first. Don’t make any threats or flagpole.com/getadvice acknowledge your implied “no,� promises about dog ownership this guy is taking advantage of during this 30-day test run. If the fact that you’re not really allowed to directly say “no.� He’s they get angry or bored or fail to do these chores, don’t say a forcing you not to be “nice.� And so be it. Don’t let yourself be word; just make sure they don’t put an x on the calendar. forced. If you get 30 x’s in 30 days, you can talk about adopting a The next time he asks you out, you can say “no thank you� dog, with the understanding that they will have to continue and not offer a reason. Don’t say you’re too busy or tired, to do these things indefinitely. If they don’t have 30 x’s, tell because that gives him an avenue to try again, and he’s demthem you can see that they’re not quite ready for a dog and, onstrated that he will. Just say “no thank you.� It will absoif they ask again in six months, you can try the 30-day experilutely feel awkward, because you’re not usually allowed to say ment again. “no� so directly, but it’s the best way to go. Practice saying This system is intended to train you as much as it does it ahead of time. When the time comes, imagine that you’re your kids. You have to be exacting about the chores and pardeclining a cup of coffee or something else inconsequential ticular about the x’s. You also must absolutely resist the urge that you don’t really want. (Yes, I know, he’s a human being, to excuse your kids from these chores, unless they land in the not a drink. The purpose of this is to help you achieve the tone hospital. And if they land in the hospital, their first question and delivery you need.) better be: Who’s going to walk the dog? Lastly, you must resist Or, if you’re lucky, the next invitation will come via email, the urge to look at a calendar half full of x’s, say, “Well, you’re in which case you just email back “no thank you.� Regardless going to have to do better when we actually get a dog�, then of how he asks you out, your response is the same. And you go ahead and get a dog anyway. If they can’t take care of an imaginary dog, they won’t take care of a real dog. In short, you offer that response once, and then you don’t interact with him anymore. Don’t respond to any further calls, emails or texts. have to be willing to say “no,� or at least “not now.� The clearest way to let him know you don’t want to interact with him anymore is to stop interacting with him. That’s the real way to be nice. I’m a junior in college, and my problem is with a guy. We went to high school together and knew each other, but we Rhonda advice@flagpole.com
