Rolling Stone had a nice little piece last month by Michael Weinreb calling UGA football coach Mark Richt the “Charlie Brown of College Football,� meaning that he’s “the kind of guy whom everyone likes as a man yet no one respects as a competitor.� The story was occasioned by Richt’s Sept. 13 loss to the South Carolina Gamecocks and their coach, Steve Spurrier, whom no one likes as a man but everyone respects as a competitor. Weinreb portrays the “hapless� Richt as lacking the ability to win in the clutch, for instance in the 38-35 loss to Carolina, and perennially unable to win a national championship, squandering the talented athletes he consistently recruits. In fact, the main rap against Richt is that although he’s always in contention (at least in pre-season), he has never won the big one. Weinreb also referred to a poll of nearly 100 college football coaches by ESPN writer Brett McMurphy, asking which coach the other coaches would want their sons to play for. Richt was one of the two coaches Weinreb’s conclusion named more than any others. is that Richt is too Weinreb’s conclusion is that Richt is too nice a nice a guy to win big guy to win big in the cutin the cutthroat SEC. throat SEC. The implication is that, if we want to win the national championship, we’d better find a meaner, fiercer competitor to lead us. Yikes! Would we rather have Spurrier? Would we rather have Nick Saban? Would we rather have the LSU and Auburn coaches who are always so glad to get the kids Richt has kicked off our team for theft from teammates, double-cashing checks and other breaches of team standards? Would we really rather have a team where cheating and theft are condoned in the service of winning, the way they surely are at Auburn and LSU and at most schools? So, what we have is a genuinely decent man in a profession dominated by the kinds of coaches the Tennessee coach seems on TV so obviously to be—brutes who do not respect their players or coaches and care only for winning and will soon be gone if they don’t. What we have is a coach whom coaches and kids’ families want their players to play for and learn from. We have a coach who has taken us to a bowl game every one of his 13 years here. We have a team that’s almost always on TV, even though the stadium is almost always sold out, and we always have a winning record, even Would we rather if we haven’t won the big one. And, of course, Mark Richt is have Spurrier? paid handsomely for what he does, and nice guy though he is, he’s the center of a powerful money machine not unlike a modern plantation running on free labor and the promise of how good it’s going to be, one of these days (if you make it to the pros). Football, moreover, is under scrutiny for the violence it encourages and the great damage to the bodies of its athletes, not to mention the role the game plays in the dumbing-down of college education. As long as we’re going to have a competitive football program—and that’s a long time into the future—there’s a great advantage to having a coach who is an integral part of the school over the long haul. Mark Richt may never be a great coach if the national championship is the determinant, but he and his program are a credit to the University of Georgia and the state. I don’t know Coach Richt personally. I’m somewhat put off by his brand of Christianity (though not by the way he puts it into practice) and by his constant selling of Ford pickups. I just think our “nice guy� coach is an overall asset who should not be jettisoned if he does have a bad year. Baseball manager Leo Durocher is credited with, “Nice guys finish last.� Green Bay coach Vince Lombardi (among others) said, “Winning isn’t everything. It’s the only thing,� and sportswriter Grantland Rice wrote, “For when the One Great Scorer comes to mark against your name, he writes—not that you won or lost—but how you played the game.� Aphorisms go only so far. Mark Richt is a nice guy who cares deeply whether he wins or loses but knows it’s not the only thing. We can live with that—as long as there are no more screen passes on first and goal from the four. Good grief!

city dope UGA’s Coal Boiler Is Finally Going Away At long last, after years of protests, the University of Georgia is finally getting rid of its coal-fired boiler, President Jere Morehead announced last week. The decision came after a study by consultant Jacobs Engineering, initiated in 2013, examined options for replacing the 50-year-old boiler, which is the single largest source of pollution in Athens. The most economical solution is an electrode boiler that UGA officials said would cost $4.5 million to install but will save $19 million in operating costs over 30 years. The electrode boiler creates steam to heat campus buildings, using electricity, which in Georgia is mainly produced by—you guessed it—burning coal. Although administrators couldn’t say at a media briefing how much less pollution the new boiler will generate, Vice President for Finance and Administration Ryan Nesbit said it will “generate savings that can be invested to enhance the university’s teaching research and service activities” and “reduce our overall energy consumption on campus.” The decision on a replacement came down to cost and energy efficiency, not pollution, Morehead said. Give Morehead credit for moving quickly, making a decision eight days after receiving the Jacobs report. The old boiler will shut down in February 2015, and the new one will come on-line in November 2015. Three natural gas-fired boilers will remain in operation. Other options Jacobs examined included natural gas- and fuel oil-powered boilers, which are cleaner than coal but have more fluctuation in price. (The coal boiler is something of a bulwark against rapidly spiking gas prices.) Jacobs said those alternatives would never recoup their costs. A combined heat and power plant, as it’s known, is not a viable economic option; if it were, that would have been the obvious choice, said David Spradley, director of energy services for the UGA Facilities Management Division. Consultants also considered a biomass-burning boiler, but the report raises questions about whether biomass is truly carbon neutral. It would take a lot of trucks to bring all those wood scraps on campus. Beyond Coal, a group formed by the Sierra Club Student Coalition to pressure the administration into shutting down the coal boiler, didn’t return an email seeking comment. The electrode boiler still needs approval from the Board of Regents, which meets Oct. 14–15 in Valdosta. Assuming it’s approved, the new boiler will bring an end to coal deliveries on a 3.8-mile rail spur running through campus. Could that pave the way, so to speak, for downtown master planner Jack Crowley’s dream of passenger rail and a multi-use path between the Multimodal Center and the State Botanical

O

Thinking of a Master Plan: Speaking of Crowley, the downtown master plan is the topic of a Federation of Neighborhoods meeting Tuesday, Oct. 14 at 7:30 p.m. at Ciné. Note the change from the usual first-Monday date. And the ACC Leisure Services Department is master-planning Bishop Park. Fill out a survey at athensclarkecounty.com/6213/ Bishop-Park-Master-Plan and/or go to a meeting from 6–7:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 6 at Oglethorpe Avenue Elementary School. More Morehead: At the Wednesday, Sept. 24 media briefing when Morehead announced the boiler replacement, he also tackled a number of other issues, including sexual assault on campus (see p. 6). One was growth. UGA’s incoming freshman class is one of the largest in school history, but Morehead said he doesn’t anticipate much undergraduate growth, although he’s trying to beef up graduate programs. “What I anticipate seeing is small, incremental growth that might vary from year to year,” he said. Another was football money. As Flagpole reported in August, Bulldog football is an $85 million industry, and that number will spike sharply soon. The SEC Network, launched two months ago, was the most successful new cable channel in history, and as a result, the UGA Athletic Association is expecting a $20 million influx. Augmenting players’ scholarships will be a new (and as yet unknown) cost, Morehead said. He also said he expects athletics—which spent $4 million on endowed professorships and need-based scholarships last year—to continue to contribute to academics. Lexington Road: “Disaster” is a word Athens-Clarke County traffic engineer Steve Decker kept using when talking about the Lexington Road-Barnett Shoals-Loop intersection. You know, the one that backs up practically all the way to downtown during afternoon rush hour. But there’s very little he can do about it, Decker on Monday, Sept. 22 told a committee Mayor Nancy Denson appointed to look for ways to spruce up the Lexington Road corridor. He’s tried to adjust the signals’ timing every which-way, he said. “I can sit there and watch it back up, but I can’t do anything about it,” Decker said. Relief will come in 2016, when the Georgia Department of Transportation will start on a two-and-a-half year project to realign the Loop’s on- and off-ramps. The project will involve moving the Outer Loop ramps to the other side of Lexington

Freud might have something to say about this. Road, where they’ll line up with Barnett Shoals, eliminating a traffic light and easing the bottleneck at that intersection. Old Winterville Road will be realigned with the Inner Loop ramps. Longer left-turn lanes will help, too. Lane closings will be required, so construction will make the situation worse before it gets better, Decker warned, but once it’s done, traffic will flow much more smoothly. Prince Avenue: GDOT and ACC officials conducted a longawaited safety audit on Prince Avenue Sept. 30, according to Commissioner Kelly Girtz. A team that included Complete Streets: Prince Avenue mastermind Tony Eubanks, UGA planner Lara Mathes, BikeAthens Executive Director Tyler Dewey and ACC Transportation and Public Works Director David Clark walked the corridor (both the locally and state-owned portions) looking for ways to improve vehicle and pedestrian safety. Look for a report on their findings in about six weeks, at which time the mayor and commission will kill it with fire and bury it right next to CAPPA and the corridor study, never to be seen again. Vote or Die: Just a reminder that the last day to register to vote in the November elections is Monday, Oct. 6. So go do it, if you haven’t already. Blake Aued news@flagpole.com

opponent Michelle Nunn in the Senate race. Over the past month, his average polling lead over Nunn has been somewhere between 3 and 4 percentage points. No candidate in either race, at this point, has the 50-percent support needed to avoid a runoff after the general election, thanks to the presence of Libertarian candidates. This performance by Democrats does not mean that Georgia has become a two-party state. When the ballots are tallied in November, Republicans will still have an iron grip over the General Assembly and will hold either nine or 10 of the state’s 14 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Given that partisan leaning, it’s possible that as election day gets closer, conservative voters who have been disenchanted with Deal and Perdue may decide they’re going to vote for the Republicans after all and “come home� to them. On the other hand, Secretary of State Brian Kemp’s efforts to shut down minority voter registration drives could motivate African American voters to turn out in larger numbers than expected, which would work against Republican candidates. If Deal and Perdue fall short of getting 50 percent of the vote and are pushed into runoff elections, the advantage lies with the Republicans. There have been at least five statewide general election runoffs since 1992, and in each of them the Republican candidate won, because GOP voter turnout was stronger than Democratic turnout. The recent history of Georgia politics and the state’s conservative inclinations suggest that Deal and Perdue, even as close as their races currently are, could still end up winning. No matter what, it has been a much more interesting election than most people thought possible a year ago. Who knows how it will end?

If you had told me a year ago that Gov. Nathan Deal would essentially be tied at this point in his re-election campaign with an inexperienced Democratic legislator, I would have asked if you were smoking some of that stuff that is now legally on sale in Colorado. Anyone familiar with the Georgia elections of 2010 and 2012 would have reached a similar conclusion. Republicans swept every statewide office, retained a U.S. Senate seat and won two-thirds control of both legislative chambers. That’s about as bad a whipping as you’ll ever see. One of my associates described the carnage: “I think this is the official end of the Democratic Party in Georgia.� As 2014 approached, it seemed that Deal would cruise to a second term in office. Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed hinted at one point that Democrats shouldn’t even bother to field a candidate against the governor. That same logic applied to the U.S. Senate race, where it was assumed that whoever the Republicans nominated would easily dispatch the sacrificial lamb that came out of the Democratic primary. But here we are, about a month away from the general election, and both races have turned out to be much closer than predicted. When polls first started showing earlier this year that a close race was developing between Deal and state Sen. Jason Carter, Republicans scoffed that such a thing could not be possible. Mike Hassinger, for example, wrote on a GOP website: “Carter tied with Deal? Maybe in Unicornville.� If you look at the numbers for the past few weeks, however, you might have to conclude that unicorns are real. In two recent polls of the governor’s race, Deal led Carter by 45-44 percent in one survey, while Carter had a 46-45 percent edge in the other one. If you aggregate the polling data for the past month, Deal’s lead over Carter is about 0.5 percent. Republican David Perdue has put a little more daylight between himself and Democratic

The Red Zone On Campus, Sexual Assaults Peak in Fall Where the most sexual assaults were reported on campus from 2001–2014:

Stats Under-Reported

The Clery Act, which was passed in 1990 after a 19-yearEven though the University of Georgia fares better in comold freshman was raped and murdered in her campus residence parison to other schools’ reported stats overall—whether that hall, requires colleges that receive federal funds to report all means fewer rapes happen or fewer are reported—students are their crime statistics every year, as well as keep a daily crime most likely to be sexually assaulted during the “red zone.” log that is accessible to the public. But many critics claim The red zone is a time period defined by several studies, the sexual assault numbers reported under Clery are woefully including a Department of Justice report, from the moment inadequate. school starts in the fall up to Thanksgiving break. This is a parWilliamson calls sexual assault “one of the most underticularly dangerous time period for freshmen and sophomores, reported crimes in the U.S.” About three years ago, he started who are more affected than upperclassmen. Some colleges have to allow for anonymous reporting. Now, anyone can report it— even taken steps to spread awareness by noting it on their even if they’ve heard it secondhand—and the victim doesn’t websites. have to be involved or even talk to police. Most of these inciThe Cottage, a center for sexual assault victims located off dents are being reported by UGA employees, the UGA Health Lexington Road behind Athens-Clarke County police station, Center or another third party, and police reports often include gears up for its busy season when the phrase “the victim did not wish to students come back in the fall. “We meet with law enforcement.” “We attribute it to the attribute it to the incoming freshman A comparison between UGA’s police crowd as well as football season,” says incoming freshman crowd reports and the Clery Act numbers Devon Sanger, adult services program since 2010 shows that UGA’s incidents as well as football season.” of sexual assault are consistent with manager at The Cottage. “There’s a definite correlation between a football the Clery data, except for a single disweekend and the number of clients. crepancy in the numbers for 2011 (which was off by one). UGA “If [a sexual assault] happens on campus, the Clery Act has police Lt. Eric Dellinger was looking into the error as of press to report it,” Sanger says, referring to a federal law requiring time. Williamson attributes the miscalculation to input issues, universities to report sexual assaults on or near campus. But human error or problems with software. “I feel like 99 percent if an incident occurs outside of campus, then “UGA doesn’t of the time, we’re accurate,” he says. have those numbers,” adds Sanger. “I would say it’s not just on “Based on an article that The Red & Black did, they tried campus… It’s kind of happening everywhere.” to imply that The Cottage’s numbers were higher and that Flagpole examined more than four years’ worth of UGA somehow we were forcing people to The Cottage,” Williamson police reports.

Since 2010, more than deal with The Cottage where he includes their numbers in his half of sexual assaults reported to UGA police occurred within report. Williamson says he isn’t concerned about the possibility the August-to-November time frame. In 2013, 85 percent of that two anonymous reports could be the same, because his sexual assaults happened in the red zone. focus is on highlighting that it’s happening. The influx of brand-new freshmen every year accounts for a “I want to show that we’re trying to collect them every lot of the spike in sexual assaults in the red zone, UGA Police way possible to show that there is an issue, but also show the Chief Jimmy Williamson says. “You’ve got 6,000 new people in police are being transparent.

Madison Turner is a UGA Student Government senator and an activist for sexual assault awareness on campus. She applauds the anonymous reporting efforts. “It’s important for these incidences to be reported, whether that be anonymously or not, and it takes so much courage for a survivor to come through and report,” she says.

More than a third of UGA’s reported sexual assaults happen in student housing, according to Clery data. Student housing, as defined by Clery, is “any student housing facility that is owned or controlled by the institution, or is located on property that is owned or controlled by the institution.” The Russell and Creswell residence halls, both co-ed communities, are the top two dorms with the most reported incidents of sexual assault. Rape accounts for two-thirds of sexual assaults and sexual battery—nonconsensual sexual touching or groping—accounts for the other third, based on the past five years of UGA police reports. Sanger says that in most cases—probably 90 percent or more—the victim knows the perpetrator. “[Sexual assault] looks like somebody who lives in your dorm,” she says. “It looks like somebody who’s a friend of a friend. It’s not a creepy stranger; it’s somebody you know. I’ve been here for four years, and maybe there’s been two stranger rapes. It could be somebody they meet that night, but certainly not a stranger.” In recent years, the total number of reported sexual assaults has begun to trend upward but, compared to UGA’s peer institutions, UGA is still on the low end of the scale at 1.3 incidents per 10,000 students per year. “Those reports, I think, are good news in that our students are reporting and allowing the university to deal with those incidences,” President Jere Morehead says.

RED ZONE 2001-2014 The majority of sexual assaults on the UGA campus are reported in a three-month time period from the start of the school year to Thanksgiving break.

There is still a huge gap in what is and isn’t reported. According to “Not Alone,” a report published by the White House, “one in five women is sexually assaulted in college.” Based on that estimate, less than 1 percent of sexual assaults are actually reported. Williamson acknowledges that UGA’s numbers may be lower than comparable institutions because fewer sexual assaults are reported—another reason why he is pushing to gather as much data as possible. UGA’s police department has been ahead of the game “doing stuff before it was made law,” he says. Last month, the University System of Georgia’s Chancellor Hank Huckaby announced a new Campus Safety and Security Committee. The committee has been tasked to report on multiple aspects of campus safety, specifically including Title IX compliance regarding sexual violence, procedures regarding the Clery Act and other areas related to campus law enforcement performance. This committee comes on the heels of a report released by U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) that states “how too many institutions of higher education are failing to protect students.” The report, based on surveys issued to campus law enforcement agencies, asserts that more than 40 percent of colleges have not conducted a single investigation into a sexual assault case within the past five years. However, Williamson says, “If a woman does not want this followed up, the police will not follow up.” This type of crime is different from any other crime in that police adhere to the wishes of the victim. In domestic abuse, for example, it wouldn’t matter if the person being abused wanted to press charges or not; the police would pursue it, regardless of the victim’s wishes. Until the stigma of sexual assault is lifted, survivors may never all report these crimes, and we may never know how many are really happening. But one is too many, Morehead says. “Eliminating sexual assault on campus is a high priority, the highest priority, of the university,” he says.

What Happens to Older Apartments When Students Move Downtown? Randy Schafer

As

apartment complexes continue to transform the downtown skyline, Athens officials have decided it’s time to take an inventory of housing options in town and figure out what development is needed next. Athens-Clarke County commissioners in April approved funding of a workforce housing study that will look at quantity, size and affordability of homes in Athens. Last week, the county sent out a call for consultants’ bids to get the process started. “This assessment should identify the housing needs of our community based on socioeconomics, regional growth projections and the different market segments,” says Rob Trevena, Director of the ACC Housing and Community Development Department, who is heading up the process. “We want it to provide detailed information about our current housing stock, assess general housing conditions and project future housing needs.” A major factor driving the push for a study is the recent development of new apartments downtown geared toward students and more affluent renters. What happens when older apartment complexes in town aren’t as popular, become rundown or draw crime? Athens officials want to find the answers before this happens. “Many of these complexes aren’t family-oriented. The floor plans have a bathroom in every bedroom and small kitchens,” Trevena says. “We need to look at the unique aspects of the Athens housing market and address the changes so we’re not closing opportunities to the workforce who need places to live and work in town.”

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 1, 2014

Affordability’s an Issue Trevena and colleagues developed an affordable-housing survey for Athens-Clarke County in 2002 and have wanted an updated assessment from an outside expert for years. The previous analysis questioned whether enough affordable housing, both single-family and multi-family, existed in Athens. It also investigated the number of units that were in “decent, safe and sanitary conditions” for residents to rent. That study found ACC didn’t have a housing shortage. There were plenty of available units, but the condition and location often played a role in whether residents actually wanted to live there. In addition, affordability continued to be a problem for the workforce group—those who earn 30 percent or less of the median area family income. At that time, nearly 6,000 people, or 29 percent, of Athens families fell below the income threshold required to rent or own more than a two-bedroom home. Compared to other Georgia cities, such as Albany, Macon and Savannah, Athens had the highest occupancy rate, lowest vacancy rate, highest rental-occupied rate and lowest family home ownership rate at that time. And, no surprise, the study highlighted that the student population “has a significant impact” on the housing market. “Evidence indicates that ACC’s housing demand will continue to grow at a rapid pace,” Trevena wrote in the 2002 report, noting that only those making more than 50 percent of the median area income can afford most available places. He

suggested four strategies to make housing options more affordable and available—use private and public funding to reduce the cost of construction, develop subsidies to fund future developments with units for low income families, strengthen programs for homeownership education and provide job opportunities and job training for Athens families to get better jobs and increase their income. More than a decade later, those concerns still loom large. “Is there sufficient and available housing to support ACC workforce housing needs, and if not, what can be done about it?” Trevena says. In 2005, the Athens Housing Authority hired John Wall & Associates, a South Carolina-based market analysis and data mapping firm, to study multi-family housing in Athens. Looking at 24 major complexes around the county, the study identified the type of property (student or family, full-market price or subsidy) and characteristics such as location and condition. With heat maps in hand, AHA officials saw that most multifamily complexes are on the southeastern side of the county, with few on the northwestern side. And most units aimed at students are out of reach for working families. “I’ve been advocating for a housing study for two decades,” AHA Executive Director Rick Parker says. “I’ve seen the benefits it can have in other communities.” While planning for this fall’s study, the housing authority provided its results and maps to ACC officials as a starting point. But nearing a decade since the 2005 study, Athens is due for an update, especially following a recession that

affected new construction and real estate trends in town. And it’s slated to be the most comprehensive study yet. “The problem with any issue, such as housing, poverty, food and transportation, is that you need to make sure you’re doing the right things for your community,� Parker says. “All too often, what we think is the problem may not be the problem. Data is how we focus our efforts.� The study will help Athens housing leaders determine whether the main concerns should be about home ownership, affordability, housing options for seniors or multi-family rentals, Parker explains. Otherwise, government and nonprofit groups are wasting money and time. “Failing to study or understand the problem can waste a lot more money by attacking the wrong problem,� he says. “If our problem is that we have vacant houses that are substandard, we can focus on a rehab strategy rather than a construction strategy.�

Developing Solutions Once the study is complete, Trevena, Parker and other housing officials want to submit an application to the 2015 Georgia Initiative for Community Housing, which distributes state funds to help communities create and launch locally based plans to meet their housing needs. It’s a three-year program that highlights collaboration and technical assistance to get the plan in place. With the workforce housing study in hand, ACC officials can argue strongly about their needs and back up the request for funding with data. They’ll also begin to develop solutions to the concerns that pop up in the survey. In the meantime, residents and officials can start the conversation about what they’ve seen in the housing market in recent years, says Spencer Frye, Athens Area Habitat for Humanity executive director. “The No. 1 thing we have in this community is a glut of apartment complexes and one of the lowest homeownership rates in the state,� he says. “We have a population that wants to rent rather than buy, and that means multi-family construction is geared toward rental housing and students.� Frye has carefully watched the new student-geared complexes pop up downtown. Like many others, he’s worried that the additional 2,000 bedrooms will pull residents downtown

and cause them to leave complexes empty on the outside of town. “They’re going to start deteriorating, and in theory, move toward lower rent, lower maintenance and more crime,� he says. “How do we prevent our large multi-family units from becoming housing deserts or low income areas?� One way is to stop building complexes, Frye says. With a surplus of rooms, apartment owners don’t have an incentive to maintain upkeep of older buildings. But it’s tough to stop building when new influxes of residents want the latest in student living, giving developers hefty incentives to build new complexes and renters who can afford it hefty incentives to move in. Another possible solution is creating job opportunities for poorer residents. Simply put, workforce housing is affordable if the population has the income to afford it, Frye says. Though the county has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the state, it has one of the highest poverty levels, meaning many jobs are low-paying. It’s a long-term strategy, but it is one to consider. A third strategy—and one that’s worked in Athens before—is to focus on neighborhood revitalization. In the past few years, Habitat for Humanity rehabilitated rental properties in East Athens, cutting down on drug trafficking and prostitution in the area. Through a land acquisition program, Habitat bought a 16-unit East Broad Street apartment complex that had 500 calls to 911 in 18 months, refurbished it and rented two-bedroom units for $250–$300 per month. Then Habitat bought 10 duplexes on Simmons Street and did the same. The organization used the rent money from those properties to invest in a single-family neighborhood on nearby Carpenters Circle and created new construction for approved homeowners. “We decided the best way to change the problem was to control the land,� Frye says. “By controlling properties on just those three blocks, we stabilized the neighborhood to the point that homeowners there have told us it’s easier to walk down the street, and it’s a whole different neighborhood.�

Changes, but Small Ones

on housing issues, says Jack Crowley, University of Georgia professor of planning and development. Crowley worked with the Athens Downtown Development Authority to create a downtown master plan. He recognizes the town’s competing interests of student housing, retirement living and multi-family units for workers. “We’re going to see the cost of living continue to increase here over time,� he says. “That’s going to get tough for those workers in the gap between public housing and market-rate housing.� This group tends to find homes in Morgan, Oglethorpe and Barrow counties and commute into Athens for work, he says. As more manufacturing jobs come to the area, this trend will continue, unless Athens builds more affordable three-bedroom homes. In addition, Atlanta’s job and housing markets will influence Athens more in the future, Crowley predicts. “That metro region is growing, and it has influence on what we pay for everything, including housing,� he says. “I used to say that we’re only two cows away from Atlanta. Well, one of those cows is really sick now.� In the upcoming housing assessment, Crowley wants to see case studies of other college towns and similarly-sized cities that have addressed the workforce housing question. He also wants to know more about the new student apartment complexes and how they will change the downtown scene for the better. “In my opinion, if we want a grocery store downtown, the student is the pioneer population that will attract those food companies,� he says. “And though we do need more housing on the Eastside and Westside for workers, we’re not going to see a lot of building away from the downtown for the next few years.� For the most part, Crowley doesn’t see the student complexes taking down the housing market as we know it. It’s a phase that will pass as Athens continues to adapt its housing needs, he says. “We may see a little sag on the Eastside for a bit as some units are repurposed or taken out, but we won’t see a mass exodus to downtown or massive amounts of vacancies,� he says. “The new places bring in 2,000 beds. Compare that to our entire market on the Eastside or Westside. I’m not worried.�

As housing leaders debate the problems and solutions, all residents must remember to keep a broader prospective

The  Glands  Return.  Again.  Kinda. A Chat with Ross Shapiro T

he Glands are awesome.

Anyone who owns a copy of either of the group’s albums—1998’s great Double Thriller and 2000’s near-flawless The Glands—knows this to be fact. I say “are,” because The Glands never broke up, nor did they ever reunite. Yet over the last 10 years, the Athensbased group has only appeared onstage a handful of times—at the Georgia Theatre’s 2011 grand re-opening, or at AthFest 2012, where that event’s chronic main-stage sound issues marred an otherwise fine set. In spite of the band’s hermitism—or perhaps in some small way because of it, but mostly because of its music, a fine-tuned blend of no-nonsense 1970s pop-rock and endearingly evasive ‘90s indiedom—both albums have become cult favorites here and abroad, even if they’ve never quite achieved the appropriate level of recognition across the board. “The Glands” has become one of those names cited by better-known artists in interviews, a semi-secret morsel of musical intrigue ready to be gobbled up by nerds and webgazers alike. Anyway, the news is that The Glands are back. Again. I know. But maybe it’s different this time? The group will play two shows over the course of the next five weeks: first, a soldout show this Saturday at Green Room, and then UGA’s free outdoor Spotlight on the Arts concert Nov. 8. And maybe this is burying the lede, as we say in journalism, but there’s talk of a third LP on the way, set to arrive nearly 15 years after that self-titled record. Glands frontman Ross Shapiro, the former owner of the sadly defunct Schoolkids Records and an enigmatic, Yeti-like figure on the local scene, was initially reluctant to do an interview to mark the band’s latest return, because, as he put it, “Whenever I talk, it makes me realize what a dick I am.” After some mild wrangling, he agreed to a chat via Facebook’s Messenger app. The conversation is reprinted below with some minor editing.

Gabe Vodicka: Hey Ross, you got a few minutes? Ross Shapiro: Let’s do this. GV: I’m glad you’re fired up. I’ll try to make it as painless as possible. RS: Thanks.

RS: Personally, I’m kind of a hermit, so I don’t interact with people that much. When someone asks me what my band is up to, I assume they’re just being courteous, like when your uncle asks if “The Grands” are still playing music. It is flattering if people are interested, though.

GV: I guess the most obvious question GV: What’s your assessment of the Glands is: What’s the state of The Glands?

We’re excited about RS: Six years ago… or soon? the Green Room show—and a lot of that is because we don’t get out much. GV: Hopefully soon. How closely do you pay attention to what’s going on in the wider world GV: What I mean is, it seems like there’s of music? The Glands’ sound has always been a renewed interest in The Glands, particularly very insular, I think in a nice way, but you did among a younger crowd who weren’t around for run a record store, so I assume you were at the early run. Do you sense this at all? least somewhat up on the trends of the day.

RS: I don’t know. I hear new music all the time, and some of it might have been made 40 years ago and some might have been made yesterday, and it’s all new to me. Having a record store was great, because the patrons turned me on to far more than I could ever turn them on to. It was also like junk shopping—only, the junk was being brought to me. Whenever I’d clean the records, I’d listen to everything, and you could find so much golden shit. I think great stuff is made every day—it might take me a while to find it, but… As far as the music industry, every year when I watch the Grammys, I think, “Today is the day the music died.” But if I avoid that and just search out the stuff that pleases me… What do you think? GV: Yeah, I have to remind myself most of what the Grammys have extolled, historically, has been bullshit. There’s still a ton of exciting music being made, and equally exciting ways for bands to release it: Bandcamp, etc. Of course, sites like Bandcamp don’t exactly help brickand-mortar stores like Schoolkids. What’s your take on the industry from that perspective? RS: There’s no going back. I think it’s harmful to music in the long run—sometimes it takes a band a few go-arounds before they hit their stride, and the environment now makes it harder for artists to forge ahead if they have no monetary success from the start. You read comment sections where people assume that, yeah, you give your music away for free, but you’ll make it up in touring. That’s total bullshit. If you’re a good band starting out and want to tour, you might start out playing to 15 people in Chapel Hill and then drive the six hours to play at the Caledonia to 15 people, and you’ve probably just lost several hundred dollars in gas and lost wages from your restaurant job and all the other costs involved. I would guess that most of the acts that people love, pre-2000,

wouldn’t have survived this. I could go on and on. I’m sure it makes me sound like an old codger (if I wasn’t already). I like to go to besteveralbums.com and compare years. It may just be me, but I think the quantity of good stuff becomes less and less because of this environment.

SUNDAY BRUNCH!

GV: There’s probably truth in that. Does that environment discourage you from wanting to continue pursuing music as a career? RS: It discourages me as a music fan. I can always make music, even if it’s just for me, and enjoy that. “Career� is kinda a foreign concept. Look at me—I’ve turned a conversation about our excitement to play a show into a bitch session. Typical.

urry Hammond of Old 97’s is awfully pleased with his band’s latest album, Most Messed Up. Joined by Rhett Miller on vocals and rhythm guitar, Ken Bethea on lead guitar and Philip Peeples on drums—a lineup that has remained unchanged throughout the seminal alt-country band’s existence—the record is full of hooks and Texas-inspired grit. Although the group’s members haven’t lived in the same state since 1996, they seem more on the same page now than ever. Hammond says Most Messed Up is the record he’s wanted to make for well over a decade, a return to the band’s early, rougharound-the-edges aesthetic. “When we have a pile of music to work on, the stuff that always works‌ tends to be this sound that we started out with,â€? he says. Hammond adds that the band didn’t overthink the production process. “No matter what we’ve done, we’ve always had the most fun when we are at our rootsiest and rawest,â€? says Hammond. “This was a unique moment to be as raw as we’ve ever been. And that was an easy thing to do, because all we had to do was to get into a room and turn all the switches on and just play.â€? Old 97’s also brought in some hired guns to get the job done. Most notably, Tommy Stinson, of The Replacements and Guns N’ Roses fame, found his way onto the record after befriending Miller over the course of a few years. Hammond says Stinson’s inclusion helped shape the album’s punked-up sound. movie posters • incense • zotz • 3-D tapestries beer funnels • cool hats • bajas • pop rocks “We just said, let’s have him around to be sunglasses • hippie clothes • stickers • pipes a spiritual uncle, a godparent of some kind, singing bowls • fanny packs • birthday cards for [bringing out] a raw nerve.

it’s not coming from other alt-country bands. It’s coming from listening to The Clash and Johnny Cash and the Carter Family and the Sex Pistols. “I’m a big believer in the sound of bands,â€? Hammond continues. “The Ramones [needed] to be The Ramones. Johnny got a lot of shit for basically wanting to make the first Ramones record over and over again. I thought that was brilliant. I want to hear the first Ramones record over and over.â€? After more than 20 years, you might expect the band would be ready to call it quits, or at least begin winding down. That’s not the case, says Hammond, who lists a possible 45s collection, another live album and a fan-produced video documentary as things that may emerge in the next few years. He also notes that a studio follow-up to Most Messed Up is inevitable; songs have already been written for a new record. The band is also scheduled to perform at next year’s installment of the Todos Santos Music Festival in Mexico, curated by Peter Buck. Hammond says the “friendly, informal relationshipâ€? with the R.E.M. camp formed after “Peter and Rhett‌ teamed up through the Robyn Hitchcock world.â€? Hammond admits it’s not the same as it once was. “There used to be a lot of surprising, fun stuff that happened [on tour],â€? he says. “You get to win over rooms, you get to be discovered. And we’re not really discovered as much anymore.â€? But even with the downsides of life on the road, Hammond says, being a touring musician is “still the best job any of us have ever had.â€? And in any case, the future is wide open. “What do we do after this? I don’t know,â€? says Hammond with a laugh. Dan Mistich

song focus, while leaving room for each of the other parts to shine through. This sense of balance is present throughout Soul Power. Harding has described his sound as “sloppin’ soul,� a tag that captures the music’s soulful roots and its ability to absorb many disparate influences. Atlanta’s diverse music scene has played a significant role in helping Harding craft this sound. “Music is meant to be shared,� he says. “It only makes sense that collaborations between confident artists take place. Atlanta, to me, has always been a place where people from different bands and genres find themselves in each other’s company. I personally have always searched for the other.� All the markings of classic soul are present on album standout “Heaven’s on the Other Side�: bright guitar chords strummed high up on the neck, fluid horns, sweet, distant strings drifting through the mix. That all of this is laid down over a four-on-the-floor disco beat, replete with handclaps on the chorus, only enhances the effect. The track is a pleasantly jarring change from what immediately precedes it. “The Drive� is dominated by a propulsive drumbeat. Mournful horn lines float atop the churning rhythm only to fade away, their pitch synthetically downshifted. There’s a space-age synth—think “Fly Like an Eagle� by the Steve Miller Band—that occasionally comes swooping in. Somehow, it all comes together. The wide array of sounds on Soul Power leaves many possibilities for Harding’s live show. Should we expect a raucous, Black Lipsstyle garage band blasting the fuzz bass on “Surf�? Or a more straight-laced ensemble, a rock-solid organist laying down chords and a tight horn section nailing its parts? Harding is coy on the subject—“I’d rather surprise you� is all he’ll say—but, no matter what kind of group he has backing him, both the new album and his past collaborations speak in his favor. If nothing else, Harding keeps good company. Marshall Yarbrough

Even Solo, Curtis Harding Collaborates he sideman steps out. It’s a wellworn trope in pop music. One iteration of this narrative tends to portray the artist’s time near the spotlight—�20 feet from stardom,� as the recent documentary about backup singers like Darlene Love and Merry Clayton would have it—as a period of apprenticeship, an experience valuable more for its professional benefits than for the influence it has on the artist’s aesthetic. That is, you learn what you can as a sideman, but once you’ve gone solo, you make your own sound; all the time you spent backing others becomes little more than an interesting footnote. The case of Atlanta’s Curtis Harding is far more dynamic. Harding is a former backup singer and co-songwriter for CeeLo Green and performs in the garage soul band Night Sun with Cole Alexander of Black Lips. His debut solo album, Soul Power, not only bears witness to his unique talents; it also speaks in concert with the music of his past collaborators, offering the chance to view him in a broader context, just as a listener hearing A Love Supreme might think of a younger Coltrane playing sax in the Miles Davis Quintet. For Harding, assuming the role of frontman doesn’t mean putting an end to collaboration. One particularly fruitful instance of this on Soul Power is “I Don’t Want to Go Home.� The song, co-written with Black Lips’ Jared Swilley, also appears on that band’s latest album, Underneath the Rainbow. As Harding tries to talk his way into spending the night with someone, the music stays almost comically upbeat, bouncy drums and a jaunty bass bobbing along like grinning wingmen. Speaking with Flagpole, Harding describes the song’s message as a kind of waggish Realpolitik for late-night hook-ups, the singer “trying to convince the girl that it’s in both of [their] best interests to see the night through.� Harding shares writing credits on many of Soul Power’s tracks. The record’s broad range of styles speaks to a broadminded approach; for his part, Harding seems refreshingly open to others’ input. “For me, there is no one way to collaborate,� says Harding. “It depends on where you are, who you’re with and what you have to work with.� Single “Keep on Shining� features lyrics by Harding and music by Randy Michael. The track boasts a meticulous arrangement, layers of pristine guitars and a quietly soaring horn line in the chorus. Harding delivers the vocal melody with just enough presence to give the

threats & promises Music News And Gossip This is the time of year Athens really seems to come into its own. Sure, people love summer, but it’s autumn that makes Athens. Why do you think all the best photos and videos of our town show people bundled in sweaters with steam coming out of their mouths? I used to call this “R.E.M. weatherâ€? the way some folks call it “football weather.â€? So, yeah, to answer the decades-old inquiry, “Should we should talk about the weather?â€? We just did.

Gabba, Gabba, We Accept You, One of Us: It used to be that the primary industries in Athens were carpet, clocks and chicken, but now they’re bartending, waiting tables and working in retail. That’s a gross oversimplification; we’d have time to get more complex if everyone wasn’t so dang exhausted from waiting on their their fellow man. To let all you hustlers relax for a few hours on a traditionally slow night, Creature Comforts Brewery announced it will host an Industry Appreciation Night the first Monday of each

month, and the kickoff is Monday, Oct. 6 from 5:30–8:30 p.m. Live music, coordinated by the folks behind the Slingshot Festival, comes courtesy of Thayer Sarrano and Strays. Entry is gratis for all bar, restaurant and liquor store employees who can prove their employment at such a place or present one of the special cards distributed to local establishments last week. Upon entry, you’ll get a tour, a complimentary glass for beer samples and small samplings of food. Everyone else is welcome to attend, too, but it’ll cost ‘em $12. Creature Comforts is located at the corner of Pulaski Street and Hancock Avenue in the wonderfully repurposed Snow Tire building. Questions? Send ‘em to Katie Beauchamp via katie@ ccbeerco.com. Don’t Hideaway: The folks behind the anticipated full-length documentary on the Elephant 6 Recording Company and collective, A Place We Have Been To, are hosting an “in-progressâ€? screening for the not-yetcompleted film. It happens Monday, Oct. 13 (coincidentally, and irrelevantly, that’s Columbus Day) at CinĂŠ. This screening coincides with an ongoing PledgeMusic fundraising campaign, already underway, to finish the film. Unfortunately, the PledgeMusic platform doesn’t reveal the goal dollar amount to contributors, and that gives it a vague, willit-happen feeling. However, the trailer for the film is good-looking and well edited. Honestly,

this is really something that needs completion, because it’s the first solid cinematic document of a majorly significant portion of the Athens music scene’s identity. At the screening, Apples in Stereo frontman Robert Schneider will perform. Please take a peek at pledgemusic.com/projects/elephant6doc and do what you can. Daily Swarm: Although they imploded pretty quickly, and without much fanfare, Capital Will still provided a whole lotta hope for the local hardcore scene and ranks as one of my favorite Athens hardcore bands of all time. Although an EP, Red Hand, was recorded and slated for release, and one song did come out, the majority of it has sat unused and unheard. To remedy this and clear the decks, member Jon Daniels will release one track a day starting Wednesday, Oct. 1 and continuing through Sunday, Oct. 5. Look for them to appear at soundcloud.com/capitalwill and facebook. com/capitalwill. I, for one, can’t wait. I mean, I guess I could, since I have already, but it’s nice to not have to wait any longer. Live Transmission: WUOG 90.5 FM is hosting a two-night affair Friday, Oct. 3 and Saturday, Oct. 4 at the Caledonia Lounge and Go Bar, respectively. The event is dubbed The Hunt for Rad October and is hyped with this, uh, storyline: “In 2k14, WUOG’s best submarine captain in their newest sub violates orders‌ Is he trying to defect, or to start a war?â€? So, there’s that. They also encourage participants of a certain standing to don streetwear company OVO (October’s Very Own) sweaters and gear, but I think they’re joking. Either way, the OVO logo does look strangely similar to the Bohemian Grove owl, so maybe WUOG knows something we don’t? At any rate, bands at the Caledonia include Grand Vapids, Futo, Grafton Tanner and Pennyboy. At Go Bar, you can catch Scooterbabe, Fake Flowers, Gorgeous and DJ Hot Wax. Solid lineup all around. Do one, or both. Live Tonight Sold Out: Holy crap, sometimes I wish I’d just gone the singer-songwriter route and become a Corey Smith. The wildly popular songman himself will return to Athens Nov. 13, when he’ll perform at the Georgia Theatre. Advance tickets are $21 and on sale now. If there are any left at the door (doubtful), they’ll be $25. Lest anyone think this is a case of hometown-ish hero—though Smith, a Jefferson, GA, native, is able to pull righteous duckets from the local crowd—let me assure you this pricing is standard everywhere from Athens to Springfield, MO. A very large part of his popularity is due to his near-constant contact with fans, and although his music may not be your particular bag, it’s not a bad example for those similarly inclined.

North Metope 25 from “An Archaeologist’s Eye� Relocated Clay: After 17 years of being nestled downtown, Good Dirt Ceramics Studio and Gallery has moved to a new, permanent location. “We leased our downtown warehouse location, and encroaching development pressure caused our rent to rise dramatically and unexpectedly,� says owner Rob Sutherland. “When our current location came on the market, I jumped at the chance to purchase a secure permanent location for our studio.� Owning the building at 485 Macon Hwy. has allowed for the customization necessary to optimize the facility as a teaching space. Students are able to have 24-hour access via keycards, and kilns vented to the outside will create a healthier work environment. Anyone who has sweated or shivered at the former location can rejoice in knowing that the studio is now climate-controlled. Good Dirt’s programs and class schedules will remain largely unchanged, offering workshops, parties, camps, eight-week clay classes with unlimited open studio time, one-time “Try Clay� classes and a dozen upgraded private artist studio spaces. The studio will also continue to have a gallery space, which currently holds a collection of Sutherland’s functional pots and works by Shelia Bradley. Jessica Smith

The exhibition is divided into three sections: pastel and graphite drawings of the east metopes, which depict Olympian gods fighting Earth-born giants; drawings of the north metopes, which portray scenes of the legendary Trojan War; and a full-scale plaster cast of a metope of Helen fleeing to a statue of Athena. Schwab’s drawings are presented beside photographs of each original sculpture taken by Socratis Mavrommatis, chief photographer for the Acropolis Restoration Service, revealing subtle contours and dimensions of the carved figures. Through combining artistic skill and archeological expertise, Schwab reimagines the panels’ ephemeral images. Classic stories such as Poseidon crushing a giant with the island of Nisyros or Hera driving a chariot led by winged horses are not always readily visible, but supplementary descriptions provide detailed information, better to interpret each metope. A two-day international symposium on “Rethinking the Parthenon: Color, Materiality and Aesthetics� will be held on Friday, Oct. 17 and Saturday, Oct. 18. Robin Osborne, professor of ancient history at Cambridge University, will deliver the keynote speech, “The Parthenon as a Work of Art,� to kick off the symposium on Friday at 5:30 p.m. From 9:30

Ancient History: Images from the Parthenon— the treasured temple on the Athenian Acropolis dedicated to the goddess Athena— permeate our collective memory and inform both popular culture and scholarly literature. Though the temple was once one of the most incredibly adorned in the ancient Greek world, the majority of its gods and heroes were deliberately damaged by the hands of Christians in an anti-pagan movement during the 6th Century. Its metopes—the rectangular panels of the decorative frieze above the temple’s columns—exist as barely legible reliefs. “An Archaeologist’s Eye: The Parthenon Drawings of Katherine A. Schwab,� currently on display at the Georgia Museum of Art through Sunday, Dec. 7, seeks to examine what has been preserved and what has been lost within the mythological narratives decorating the Parthenon.

Theater Roundup

Rent, Romeo and Juliet, Clybourne Park and Hedda Gabler Fill Local Stages R

Rent Rent brings love and music to a town familiar with underpaid artistic folks who love the quirky place where they live—despite the difficulty of earning enough to pay the rent while following their dreams. Set in New York City’s East Village in the early 1990s, Rent’s musicians, artists and street eccentrics are not just poor but also struggling to hold on to hope, despite the looming terror of HIV/AIDS. Director John Patrick Bray, playwright and UGA dramatic writing lecturer who lived in New York City during that time and saw the show’s first run, believes that Rent was one of the plays that helped to change the conversation around LGBTQ communities and the AIDS epidemic, to celebrate diversity and reduce stigma around people with HIV/AIDS. The wildly popular Broadway run lasted 12 years and earned Pulitzer, Tony and Drama Desk awards, while spawning fans so devoted they were dubbed “Rent-heads.” Bray says Rent is a show “that builds community—a community that includes folks who identify outside of the mainstream, whether that’s gender identity or some other form of theater geekdom. And I think for many of us, Roger’s song ‘One Song Glory’ speaks to the mark that we all hope to leave on the world before we go.” Producing the show today in Athens with Town & Gown evokes that spirit of community,

according to Bray. “There’s something about the music of Athens, the music of Rent, the plurality of cultural identities in Athens,” he says. “We have a great drag culture, a great network of artists in various mediums and the show is about artists working in different mediums… and I think that any show that foregrounds questions of artists’ identity will resonate in a town with such a rich artistic history.”

Horrible’s Sing Along Blog and Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors were particularly memorable, but he delivers in every show. We’ll also see UGA theater majors such as Bailey Johnson (Joanne), along with Myles Haslam (Angel), who was in UGA’s outstanding production of Spring Awakening in April. The Rent cast performed “Seasons of Love” at the recent PRIDE festival downtown and is partnering with AIDS Athens and other local

ent-heads and Bard-lovers rejoice! October is a perfect example of why Athens is a great theater town. In the space of two weeks, you can see a rock musical about starving artists living through NYC’s AIDS epidemic (Town & Gown Players, Rent, Oct. 3–12), a refreshingly funny version of Shakepeare’s teen-angst tragedy (Circle Ensemble Theatre Company, Romeo and Juliet, Oct. 3–5) house flippers and cranky neighbors past and present (University Theatre, Clybourne Park, Oct. 1–5) and a gun-loving desperate housewife (University Theatre, Hedda Gabler, Oct. 14–19).

And publicly. With others who are celebrating themselves honestly and publicly. I think that’s the most important aspect of this show. More than the music, more than the story.”

Romeo and Juliet

Matt Sapp as Romeo, Lisa Mende as the nurse and Chelsea Dunham as Juliet in Romeo and Juliet. The production team and cast is made up of a variety of Athens locals and students, with newcomers to Town & Gown such as Atiya Rahman (Mimi) and Katlyn Firkus (Maureen) and T&G “all-stars” like Dustin Ahkuoi (Roger)—who was just about perfect as Judas in Jesus Christ, Superstar and as the hilarious Ali Hakim in Oklahoma—and Matt Hardy (Mark).

Opening night features a Drag Queen and Condom King competition: Audience members are invited to attend in drag or wearing “condom couture.” Rent is likely to sell out, so get your tickets in advance. When asked what is most important about this show, Bray doesn’t hesitate. He says: “This show is an invitation to not just be yourself but to celebrate yourself. Honestly.

Circle Ensemble Theatre Company’s Romeo and Juliet is at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia visitors center atrium October 3–5, advertised as “something you’ve never seen before.” How can there be anything new in this signature Shakespearean tragedy, read by virtually all high school students for decades and frequently performed for centuries? By using the oldest version of the play, the First Quarto, rather than the canonical First Folio version. It’s a clever way to freshen up what could otherwise be a rather tired old tale of first love and teenage rebellion gone horribly awry. This version promises to be funnier and more action-packed than the R&J most of us know. Producing Artistic Director Joelle Re’ ArpDunham says Circle chose Romeo and Juliet because they wanted to bring a new take on Shakespeare to audiences who know the story and to those who don’t—particularly school children. Director Farley Richmond, professor in the UGA Department of Theatre and Film Studies, wanted to use the First Quarto. “It is more action oriented, has less flowery language, more humor and is quite a bit shorter,” Arp-Dunham states. “In addition, since Farley wanted a world that is different from ours, yet has the beauty and familiarity to see ourselves in it, he chose to set it in a steampunk world.” Using the visitor’s center interior for the performance space is an intriguing choice as

Clybourne Park and Hedda Gabler C. Adron Farris III

University Theatre has two productions in October: Tony, Olivier and Pulitzer Awardwinning Clybourne Park and the Ibsen classic Hedda Gabler, both in the intimate Cellar Theatre in the Fine Arts Building on campus. Clybourne Park opened Sept. 25, and only four performances remain, possibly sold out by now. It’s a biting comedy that begins right after Raisin in the Sun ends.

well. Circle’s staging of Mary Zimmerman’s Metamorphoses in and around the pool at Ashford Manor during their first season was particularly memorable—with an indoor tropical rainforest and the chance to enjoy natural surroundings in air-conditioned comfort. Richmond states: “We are taking advantage of a prominent feature of the atrium: the circular staircase of the pillar that helps support the roof of the structure. It makes a great impression in the balcony scene.� The cast of Romeo and Juliet includes equity actors Dr. Freda Scott-Giles (Chorus, Prince), professor emeritus of the UGA Department of Theatre and Film Studies who gave a powerful performance in University Theatre’s Flyin’ West in February and Dr. John Cameron (Friar Lawrence), head of the acting program of the University of Iowa, plus familiar community actors. Chelsea Dunham, who teaches drama and yearbook at Westminster Christian Academy and was Cinderella in Into the Woods with Circle last year, plays Juliet, and UGA student Christopher Sapp is Romeo; for anyone who caught his hilariously dear quasi-Romeo performance as Matt in University Theatre’s The Fantasticks (a musical spoof of R&J) in 2013, it will be a treat to see him in this role. “This is a fast-moving production with lots of fighting, loving, visual interest, comedy and killing,� says Arp-Dunham. “There is a reason this play has survived over hundreds of years. We see ourselves in it.�

Third-year UGA performance MFA student Jessica Moore is playing Hedda, and Paolino says, “She is utilizing so much of her creativity, her spirit, her sense of fun‌ the audience can really enjoy Hedda, be mystified by Hedda, be provoked by her, rather than hate and dismiss her as they traditionally do.â€? It’s a studio series show, which means no large budget for set and costumes, and Paolino enjoys the potential for unconventional staging. “I was bored with doing another naturalistic play,â€? he asserts. “I don’t want to do another homage to early 20th Century realism.â€? He wants to take “a new approach, more exciting, fun and challenging‌ We’re doing a very theatrical version of this play, whereby objects are used in a symbolic or metaphorical way to create different environments and images.â€? The actors will be on stage the entire time as both the characters they play and themselves as actors morphing in and out of character.

The Athens harvest season has arrived in full force this October. This month is packed with opportunities to celebrate the bounty of our local resources and to raise money for some of our favorite charitable causes. On Sunday, Oct. 5 at 4 p.m., the annual Autumn Harvest Feast will take place at The Hill. The dinner benefits Wholesome Wave, the organization behind the Double Value Coupon Program. The program doubles the value of low-income consumers’ federal nutrition benefits when spent on local produce at farmers markets. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the $75 dinner go to Wholesome Wave, and they will be earmarked to return specifically to the Athens Farmers Market.

The Harvest Moon dinner benefitting the Athens Land Trust also takes place on Saturday, Oct. 11 at 6 p.m. The $150 dinner, cooked by The National and Seabear Oyster Bar’s Peter Dale, is at the Williams Farm only 1.5 miles from downtown. “This year’s Harvest Moon dinner is particularly special, because it will celebrate the protection of the Williams Farm, a 100-year-old farm right in the heart of Athens,� says Nathan Shannon, the director of operations at the land trust. The Williams Farm, off Ruth Street in East Athens, is 5.5 acres of prime soil ideal for growing food. It’s currently open to the public and will soon boast trails connecting to the

Diners at the Autumn Harvest Feast will enjoy food from many local restaurants and caterers while helping lowincome Athenians buy food at the Athens Farmers Market. Jan Kozak, manager of the Athens Farmers Market, made a pledge to Wholesome Wave that Athens would ultimately be able to fully fund its own recipients of the Double Value Coupon Program, and he’s almost there. Between the feast and the Good Food Good Beer Block Party that was held in the spring, Kozak anticipates that the events will provide for about 70 percent of the need. “We have a high percentage of people that care here in Athens, which is really cool,� Kozak says. This year, Michel Nischan, the founder of Wholesome Wave, will be speaking at the feast. Also featured are more chefs and bakers than ever before, including Mimi Maumus of home.made, Patrick Stubbers of Seabear Oyster Bar and Aaron Philips of The Last Resort. Tickets cost $75 and can be purchased online. The Hop Harvest Festival will take place at Terrapin Brewery on Saturday, Oct. 11. A quarter of the proceeds from the $20 pint glass sales will go to the Dogwood Alliance campaign to stop the harvesting of old-growth forests in the South. Terrapin will premiere this year’s version of So Fresh & So Green, Green, brewed with fresh Simcoe hops (unlike most IPAs’ dry hops). There will also be eight single-hopped casks to try—each made with an experimental variety of hops—as well as barrel-aged beers. The festival will also feature an artisan market, highlighting local makers like Double Dutch Press, Phickles Pickles and handmade soap maker Camille Staley. “We like this event to be educational and fun, but a chance for people to learn what

five-acre Woods Park, which is another property protected through the work of the ALT. Sunday, Oct. 12, A Hunter’s Moon farm dinner will take place at Woodland Gardens, benefitting Georgia Organics. The dinner features some of the best chefs in Georgia, with big names like Billy Allin of Cakes & Ale, Carla Tomasko of Bacchanalia and Kyle Jacovino of The Florence (formerly head chef at Five & Ten) coming from Atlanta and Savannah. Local heroes like Peter Dale, Jason Zygmont and Mike Sutton will represent Athens, alongside Whitney Otawka of Cinco y Diez, who put the event together. Inspired by farm dinners that she used to attend while working as a line cook at Five & Ten, Otawka knew it was time to bring some of the culinary heavyweights of Georgia to one of the most progressive organic farms in the Southeast. “I’m excited about having such an amazing, talented group of chefs working together here in Athens and bringing that energy and momentum to our town,� she says. Tickets for A Hunter’s Moon are a steep $200, but that’s a tiny fraction of what would be the combined cost of eating and drinking at each of the establishments represented. Plus, the chefs are donating their time and energy so all of the proceeds go to Georgia Organics, which will use the funds to promote sustainable foods and local farms in Georgia. Between the many options for celebratory and philanthropic eating, October looks like a busy month for local chefs and eaters alike. Jodi Cash

movie reviews THE DANCE OF REALITY (NR) Set in the late any time has passed. The Dance of Reality 1920s and throughout the next decade in rural looks back at the young Jodorowsky’s childChile, director/writer Alejandro Jodorowsky’s hood, growing up in a harsh environment, the The Dance of Reality immediately sparks only child of two shopkeepers. His father, a memories of Federico Fellini’s coming-of-age Jewish emigre (Brontis Jodorowsky, the direcphantasmagorical Amarcord. But Jodorowsky, tor’s son) is tyrannical; his mother (Pamela despite sharing many of the same symbolic Flores) is all lush flesh and contradictory and emotional interests as Fellini, has always motives, singing all of her lines in soarbeen his own artist, uncaring of trends or ing soprano vocals. She is the Earth Mother societal political correctness. Jodorowsky incarnated. And this is where Jodorowsky made his name with the midnight movie cult flourishes. He is invested and committed to hit El Topo back in 1970, a groundbreaking confronting and alienating the audience with cross-genre spaghetti western grotesquerie that flipped the lids off a generation The Dance of Reality and in its strange way influenced countless cinematic provocateurs afterwards, including Nicolas Winding Refn, who acknowledged Jodorowsky as a stylistic influence in his 2013 movie, Only God Forgives. Jodorowsky is now 85 years old and no longer the cutting edge of surrealist confrontation. But what’s refreshing and surprising is that he is still charging forward. This is a visionary artist still working at the top of his craft. There’s a common belief that as artists, particularly filmmakers, grow older, they also lose steam, though Kurosawa, Bunuel, Here’s the list of things that are wrong with you… Ford, Kubrick, Fukasaku, Dreyer and many others have foiled that theory. But filmmaking bold images and scenes that on the surface in general is a young person’s game. It takes are shocking but are always infused with youthful energy, drive, focus and creative humanity and even tenderness. The Dance of blood. Reality is haunting in its beauty, humorous It’s been 24 years since Jodorowsky in its insights (however broad) and oddly has directed a movie, but if you’re familiar moving. with his previous works—El Topo, The Holy Jodorowsky is a surrealist. He’s provoking Mountain, Santa Sangre—you’d never think us to think, to be aware and to be open-

minded to the idea that movies can be more than just angry white men in leotards punching the hell out of other costumed weirdos. The movie is a contradiction. On one level, it’s simplistic; it’s simply a director looking back at his life. On another plane, however, The Dance of Reality is a mythic cinematic journey—thoroughly original, profound and unforgettable. [Derek Hill] THE BOXTROLLS (PG) It will surprise no one familiar with Coraline and Paranorman, the stop-motion animated films made by Laika, that The Boxtrolls is the best family film to be released since at least How to Train a Dragon 2, if not The LEGO Movie. Based upon Alan Snow’s book, Here Be Monsters (which would have been a much better title), The Boxtrolls live underneath the city of Cheesebridge (where, naturally, the number-one product is cheese) and emerge every night to steal anything (i.e. mostly trash) not nailed down. One night, they had stolen a baby, who has grown up to be the protagonist, Eggs (v. Isaac Hempstead Wright, aka Bran Stark on HBO’s “Game of Thrones”). When the evil Archibald Snatcher (v. Ben Kingsley) captures most of the Boxtrolls in his quest to earn a white hat (apparently, this hat is the only way to gain entry to Cheesebridge’s cheesetasting room), it’s up to Eggs and Winnie (Elle Fanning), the daughter of the town’s most prominent cheese lover, Lord Portley-Rind (v. Jared Harris), to save the sweet, ugly creatures from extinction. Another characteristic that should not surprise Laika lovers is the darkness of The Boxtrolls. Whereas Paranorman was a real horror movie made for kids, The Boxtrolls tackles as grown-up an idea as genocide, not to mention that Snatcher cross-dresses. But all these adult themes are handled in a family-suitable way; they merely mean the film can appeal to more than just the childish audience fascinated by Cars and Planes. [Drew Wheeler] THE EQUALIZER (R) In the 1980s, the late Edward Woodward drove a Jag around the streets of New York as ex-spy Robert McCall, who helped the innocent and the weak against the evil and the mighty. I remember enjoying this television show as a kid. Now Denzel Washington replaces Woodward as McCall in a humorless reboot. He doesn’t drive a Jag; he dresses like someone’s dad. He now haunts the baddies of Boston, not New York City. After befriending a young Russian escort (Chloe Grace Moretz) who gets badly beaten by her pimp, McCall runs afoul of the Russian mob, after he slaughters a roomful of toughs. Now, he must duel sociopath Teddy (Martin Csokas) if he ever wants return to his quiet life at the corner diner and a fake Home Depot. Director Antoine Fuqua could have cut out 10 or more minutes of this too-long but entertaining action flick. Even in his reunion with Washington, Fuqua fails to recapture that Training Day magic, which, it’s certainly arguable, could be attributed to the ever more intriguing David Ayer, who wrote Training Day and has since helmed several excellent crime thrillers highlighted by End of Watch (I cannot wait for his newest film, the WWII tank drama Fury). The Equalizer is pretty much paint-by-numbers. Even its style fails to stand out. Richard Wenk contributes a much less interesting script than Ayer would have and Washington’s aging badass could have just as easily been filled by Liam Neeson. [DW]

Broken Bells, Hamilton Leithauser

Georgia Theatre ¡ 8 p.m. ¡ $31 Super-duo Broken Bells, a partnership between The Shins’ James Mercer and onetime Athenian Brian Burton, aka Danger Mouse, crafts sleek, hook-laden indie-pop that is atmospheric yet immediate, moody yet playful. The group’s most recent album, After the Disco, lives up to its title, a solid collection of mid-tempo, nominally psychedelic post-electronica. Opener Hamilton Leithauser follows up his tenure with acclaimed indie mainstays The Walkmen with a new solo project. Broken Bells’ Burton, who helmed the new U2 album and continues to be one of the most sought-after producers in the music biz, tells Flagpole he has never set foot in the Georgia Theatre despite his former Classic City residency. Welcome him back for the first time. Read a Q&A with Burton on flagpole.com. [Gabe Vodicka]

Classic Center ¡ 7 p.m. ¡ FREE! (tickets required) Launching The UGA Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication’s centennial celebration, a series of events continuing through next year, Freedom Sings will perform songs that have at one time been censored or banned. Founded by the First Amendment Center in Nashville, the group includes award-winning recording artists who cover rock, pop and soul music hits spanning several generations. In between songs, Ken Paulson, founder of Freedom Sings and former editor of USA Today, will share the history of controversial tracks like R.E.M.’s “It’s the End of the World As We Know It,â€? which Clear Channel ordered its radio stations to stop airing after the 9/11 attacks, and The Kingsmen’s “Louie, Louie,â€? which was the subject of an 18-month FBI investigation due to its allegedly profane yet mostly unintelligible lyrics.

J. Mascis, Luluc

40 Watt Club ¡ 8 p.m. ¡ $16 (adv.), $20 (door) Luluc hails from Melbourne, Australia, but the duo has new roots in Brooklyn, NY, where its second album, Passerby, recorded by The National’s Aaron Dessner, originated. Passerby is gorgeous and deceptively simple, boasting crisp folk songs full of melody and heart. The band’s generally timeless sound is airy and accessible; fans of English bands from the ‘60s like Fairport Convention should feel comfortable with Luluc, as will those who dig on newer artists like Bon Iver or Alela Diane. It’s quiet but not quaint, mellow but not monotonous. Let Luluc ease your eardrums into Thursday’s show; though headliner J. Mascis, of Dinosaur Jr., has challenged the structural integrity of the 40 Watt with the loudness of past shows, his newest album,

‘80s and early ‘90s. Meanwhile, Atlanta indie rockers Places to Hide remain one of that city’s must-see up-and-coming acts, all crunchy loud-soft dynamism and steadfast slack-rock attitude. [GV] ART | Saturday, Oct. 4– Sunday, Oct. 5

Ramona is an incredibly sweet Boxer mix who arrived very underweight and looking like she’d been a neglected mother to multiple litters. She is very humble, quiet and gentle. She’s learned quickly how to walk on a leash and knows some other basic commands. You can see a video of her at athenspets.net and I can’t say it any better than they did, “she’s the kind of dog that asks for little but gives her all.�

Advice for Life’s Persistent Questions

the GLANDS

Tennis Pro My husband and I have two children—a 14-year-old daughter and an 8-year-old daughter. The 14-year-old is a talented tennis player. She’s taken lessons since she was six and has played on a lot of teams, in a lot of tournaments, etc. We (and she) are hoping she’ll be able to play in college. There’s a team/league in Atlanta that would be the next step for her, but it would mean driving her to Atlanta three or four times a week after school. Her father and I want her to continue to play and improve, but we’re not sure how she’d balance this with her life here. She’s in her first year of high school, and we don’t want her to let her homework slide or miss opportunities to make friends and have a life here. We don’t want her to miss opportunities in tennis, either, and I’m not sure how we’d tell her that we’re denying her the chance to keep growing. Mom

18-and-up, there are several venues that offer all-ages shows with regularity. The Melting Point comes to mind; their Terrapin Tuesday, while owing its name to the local brew, is a family-friendly series showcasing regional folk and Americana acts. Likewise, the eclectic and frequently wonderful concerts at Hendershot’s Coffee Bar on Prince have no age restrictions. There are also plenty of seasonal events, like the summer Sunflower Concert Series, where you can catch high-profile local acts at the Botanical Garden. Finally, the 40 Watt and Georgia Theatre both offer the occasional all-ages show, so keep your eyes peeled and watch Flagpole’s calendar.”

COSBY SWEATER with ANDY BRUH

Right Choice? I’m in my second year at UGA. I was really excited about coming to college, but I really struggled during my first year. I came here from out of state, and I feel like a total outsider. I’ve met plenty of people that I like well enough, but none that have become close friends. I’ve tried joining different clubs and activities, and that’s helped some, but I haven’t really met anyone I’ve formed a lasting friendship with. I thought I wanted to be at a big school, and it seems like in a school of 30,000plus people there should be someone I like, I’m just not sure how to find that person. And I’d kind of like to have more than just one good friend, but right now I’d settle for one. I’m hoping this year will be different, but so far, no dice. What am I doing wrong? Lost

You need to look at this issue through a wider lens. This league will create an imbalance in your family life. You mention wanting your daughter to have a life here, but you and your husband need to have a chance to have lives, too. Driving to Atlanta four times a week, waiting for practice to end, then driving home is a brutal grind. It will take up your time, money and energy otherwise spent paying attention to your 8-year-old daughter. Dedicating 16 or 20 hours of your entire family’s time each week is too much— too much for your family and, likely, too much for Sometimes it takes time your teenage daughter. and perseverance to find Yes, this league may your place, but I know it’s be the next step for your lonely in the meantime. daughter, but I say the One option is to branch cost is too great.
