Pete’s Cheat Sheet™ You know how this cheat sheet goes: Democrats = Good; Republicans = Bad. But Pete is not an ideologue. He has picked Republicans from time to time—Regina Quick, Casey Cagle, Doc Eldridge (wait, he was a Democrat then), even, lest you forget, Paul Broun, Jr. It’s just that Republicans in Georgia are mired in those same failed policies that, given free rein, have brought the state of Kansas to its knees economically and are bringing us down here at home. Forewarned, read on.  For Senator During this campaign Michelle Nunn has stood up to her Republican opponent, that empty suit bulging with money, David Perdue. Nunn has given us every indication that as our senator she will work for the best interests of our state and our nation, regardless of political-party pressures. Vote Nunn.  For Governor Rather have a crook or a Democrat? Jason Carter, the smart young Georgian from a new generation, can beat Nathan Deal and put a far better face on Georgia politics.

Vote Carter.  For 9th District Congress Against incumbent Republican Doug Collins, David Vogel is the woefully underfunded Democrat, a retired school teacher with a lifetime of humanitarian causes and not even an outside chance of winning this race. Vote Vogel.  For 10th District Congress Jody Hice is the go-to guy for wacky statements that fly in the face of science, fairness and reason, making sure that our district continues to be a laughingstock. Ken Dious is the local Democrat. Vote Dious.  For Lieutenant Governor Former state senator and county commissioner Democrat Connie Stokes provides a breath of fresh air against Cagle. Vote Stokes.  For Secretary of State Instead of administering our election laws fairly, incumbent Republican Brian Kemp twists them to deny voter registration for minorities. Vote for his opponent, Democrat Doreen Carter, as a protest. Vote Carter.  For Attorney General Sam Olens pretty much violated his oath of office in trying to cover up for Deal. Democrat Greg Hecht is a respected attorney and former legislator and assistant attorney general. Vote Hecht.  For Commissioner of Agriculture The Republican incumbent is Gary Black, and his Democratic challenger is Chris Irvin, the grandson of longtime Commissioner of Agriculture Tommy Irvin, so, keep it in the family. Vote Irvin.  For Commissioner of Insurance Republican incumbent Ralph Hudgens uses his position as insurance commissioner to fight the Affordable Care Act. Vote for his opponent, Democrat Liz Johnson. Vote Johnson.  For State School Superintendent Democrat Valarie Wilson is eminently well qualified through solid local and statewide school board experience and a demanding management career. Vote Wilson.  For Commissioner of Labor Ever heard of J. Mark Butler?

He’s the Republican incumbent. Vote for the Democrat Robbin K. Shipp and keep our state safe for double letters. Vote Shipp.  For Public Service Commissioner In the first one, let’s vote for the Libertarian, John H. Monds, just because he’s not the incumbent and may not yet be thoroughly in Georgia Power’s and Georgia Natural Gas’s pockets. In the other race, waste your vote on the Democrat, Daniel Blackman, just on principle. Vote Monds and Blackman.  For State Senator and State Representative All our legislators get a free ride back into office with no opposition: Bill Cowsert, Frank Ginn, Chuck Williams, Regina Quick and even our lone Democrat, Spencer Frye.  Constitutional Amendments (A) Here’s a perfect example of Republicans run amok: They want to amend our constitution to prohibit an increase in the state income tax rate forever.

Vote no! (B) Empower the legislature to increase reckless driving fines and put that money into the Brain and Spinal Injury Trust Fund. There’s got to be a better way. Vote no.  Propose Statewide Referendum The State Board of Regents has bogged the state down in mounting debt through unrestrained building programs based on the expected continued expansion of college enrollment. That hasn’t happened, and now the Regents are trying to bail by privatizing dormitories, and they’re offering tax exemptions to anybody who’ll take dorms off their hands. It’s a tax increase on you. Vote no.

city dope All-Downtown Edition Last Tuesday, Oct. 14 was a marathon slog of meetingsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all related to downtownâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that turned your humble scribe into a wet, tired, rained-on, spaghetti-stained wretch. I stayed awake for most of them. For journalism. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re welcome.

First stop: The Athens Downtown Development Authority, which has come up with a plan to keep at least some of the food and beer delivery trucks out of the center lanes of Clayton and Washington streets at least some of the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an obstacle course, and it shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be,â&#x20AC;? ADDA member Regina Quick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to find a way to get it fixed. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work.â&#x20AC;?

The ADDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan would allow trucks to keep parking in the Washington Street center lane all day but restrict them to 3 a.m.â&#x20AC;&#x201C;12 p.m. on Clayton while also converting 16 parking spaces on Jackson and Lumpkin streets into into loading zones. The plan, of course, pleased hardly anyone, and the ADDA punted it to the Athens-Clarke County Mayor and Commission.

Deliverers worry about competing for loading zones and having to push dollies long distances. Bar and restaurant owners think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dangerous to take deliveries in the middle of the night and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to wake up early after long, late workdays. Retail shop owners think trucks are an eyesore and block traffic. Then there are the car drivers who think that, because a truck is parked in the middle of the street, they can, too, which creates an enforcement issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These trucks are killing retail in this town,â&#x20AC;? said Irvin Alhadeff, who owns Masada Leather as well as a number of other buildings downtown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll only be a bar scene.â&#x20AC;?

Green Room owner Wilmot Green chimed in, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the center lane is killing retail. I think rent is whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s killing retail.â&#x20AC;?

Alhadeff went on to say that â&#x20AC;&#x153;42-yearold ladies from Oconee Countyâ&#x20AC;? are scared to drive downtown, which kind of offended ADDA board member Erica Cascio, who informed him that 42 is the new 18. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know any

women in their 40s who are particularly afraid of driving through a town,â&#x20AC;? she said.

She knows one nowâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Janey Cooley, a banker who may be a bit older than Cascio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never forget the first time I turned on Clayton and thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;My gosh, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten into a convoy.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And it was scary,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The ADDA also talked about maybe getting rid of some of the (often empty) newspaper boxes downtown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re down to Flagpole, and does the Banner-Herald still print?â&#x20AC;? Chairman Bill Overend wondered, forgetting momentarily about the Red & Black. Commissioner Mike Hamby called the papers â&#x20AC;&#x153;clutter,â&#x20AC;? later apologizing for referring that way to Flagpole. (Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OKâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;we know you just meant the one with you as a parrot on the cover.)

Then, on to a commission work session, where county officials had a discussion about sidewalk cafĂŠs and sidewalk signs.

Bars and restaurants downtown can lease sidewalk space, within certain parameters, from ACC for cafĂŠs, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not allowed elsewhere. (Yes, technically, the tables in front of The Grit are illegal, although ACC Manager Alan Reddish said officials are not confident enough in their interpretation of the sidewalk cafĂŠ ordinance to enforce it.)

Central Services Director David Fluck proposed legalizing sidewalk cafĂŠs in Five Points and Normaltown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to make it legal for them to use that sidewalk,â&#x20AC;? Reddish said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being done illegally, and we think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see more of thatâ&#x20AC;? on Prince Avenue.

On the issue of sandwich-board signs on the sidewalk, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no ambiguityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re illegal, but a handful of businesses put them out, anyway, although the â&#x20AC;&#x153;vast majorityâ&#x20AC;? comply with the law, said Doug Hansford, who oversees the Community Protection Division, ACCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s code-enforcement arm. Hamby said he has no problem with sandwich boards, but county Attorney Bill Berryman warned him that allowing them could set a bad precedent. The commission canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow commercial speech (menus and such) without also allowing potentially offensive messages or letting

One day, on a dusty shelf in City Hall, an archeologist may discover Jack Crowleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan for College Avenue. political candidates line the right-of-way with yard signs, he said. Mayor Nancy Denson said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assigning both issues to committee.

Wrapping up the fun-filled evening was a Federation of Neighborhoods panel on downtown. The thing on everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minds, as usual, was the student apartment complexes that are popping up faster than a Georgia fan after a Todd Gurley touchdown.

Real estate consultant David S. Dwyer said the trendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re almost fresh out of sites to build downtown,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think as far as the big ones are concerned, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done.â&#x20AC;?

Great, perfect timing on that master plan!

Commissioner Kelly Girtz (who has pushed, unsuccessfully so far, to review our downtown design guidelines in light of the student housing boom) called for more diversityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;professionals, families and retirees, or as Dwyer put it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;FOTS,â&#x20AC;? Folks Other Than Students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The private sectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been great at providing you 150 places to drink downtown,â&#x20AC;? said Girtz, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visited 148. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we know we want a downtown thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more diverse than that.â&#x20AC;?

Just wait, said Dwyer, echoing UGA College of Environment and Design professor Jack Crowleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theory that students are the â&#x20AC;&#x153;pioneersâ&#x20AC;? who draw the retail and services that draw other types of people. Dwyer is helping build Georgia Heights (near SunTrust), which will primarily be one-bedroom apartments aimed at professionals, and he remains

hopeful about drawing a small grocery store to the development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then we really start to look like a grown-up downtown,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Setting the Agenda: This wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen, but Commissioner Jerry NeSmith wants to make it easier for commissioners to bypass the mayor and put things on the agenda themselves.

Currently, five commissioners can call a special meeting, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge hassle, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only ever been done once or twice. At the work session last week, NeSmith proposed asking Athensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; state legislators to change the city-county charter to allow five commissioners to simply override the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agendasetting power. Denson is opposed, of course, and given disagreement among commissioners and our legislative delegationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s utter inability or unwillingness to do anything for our local government, NeSmithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal is DOA. But it does highlight a key point, one he alluded to later at the Federation of Neighborhoods meetingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;nothing is happening: specifically, the Prince Avenue and Oak/ Oconee corridor studies, the aforementioned design guidelines and, he fears, the downtown master plan. The citizens have to put pressure on elected officials to take action, NeSmith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to make the commissioners make the mayor make the staff do the planning,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Blake Aued news@flagpole.com

capitol impact Good News for Students With all of the attack ads running on TV this election season, Georgians have had their fill of pessimism and negativity. For that reason, it’s encouraging to report there has actually been some good news this fall for public school students: Nearly two-thirds of the local school systems are now able to keep their classrooms open for 180 days of instruction during the academic year, as was once required by state law.

That reverses a depressing trend that started more than a decade ago and continued through the first three years of Gov. Nathan Deal’s administration. The formula funding in the state budget for local school systems was reduced each year as legislators balanced the budget. The combined amount of these “austerity cuts” now totals about $8.4 billion.

After the great recession and the resulting economic downturn, local school boards had a difficult time dealing with the cutbacks in state funds. Many of them, especially in rural counties, had to dismiss teachers and eliminate classroom days to keep from going bankrupt. Some systems cut more than 30 days from the school calendar. During the 2011–12 school year, according to data from the state Department of Education, only 60 of Georgia’s 180 school systems provided a full 180 days of classroom instruction. That number declined to 56 systems for 2012–13 and 57 systems in 2013–14.

When you cut the number of days that students are in the classroom and reduce the number of their teachers, you cannot expect positive results. The latest release of SAT exam scores showed the average score for Georgia students had slipped to 52 points below the national average.

During this year’s General Assembly session, with the governor and incumbent lawmakers facing a reelection campaign, Deal proposed adding back $314 million in formula funding for local schools. The legislature

agreed and put the money into the state budget. The extra money did not completely reverse the reductions in formula funding for local schools, but it helped. For the current school year, nearly two-thirds of the local systems (119 out of 180) have scheduled 180 instructional days on their academic calendars.

“It’s hard to say anything for certain without surveying all of the superintendents, but it seems apparent that the major factor in the uptick in systems adopting a full calendar of instructional days this year was the additional money put into QBE [formula funding],” said Matt Cardoza, a spokesman for the Department of Education. “Districts have more money on hand and they seem to have used that to add instructional days, which we applaud.”

Education funding has been a contentious issue in the governor’s race between Deal and his Democratic challenger, state Sen. Jason Carter. Deal says this year’s increase in funding is evidence of his support for public schools.

“We’re doing, I think, extraordinarily well in terms of funding K–12 education,” Deal said during a recent debate with his opponent.

Carter says Georgia also should have put additional money into education during Deal’s first three years, when more than two-thirds of systems were forced to cut classroom days.

“Education has to be our priority every single year, and not just in an election year,” Carter said in that same debate.

Voters will soon be able to choose which candidate’s approach to education funding they prefer. What matters is that Georgia’s students are doing better because more of them attend schools that are able to keep their classrooms open for 180 days. When you see the positive impact that increased state funding has had for local school systems, it makes you wish every year was an election year.

The Campaign Started Here Jason Carter on Law School, Drive-By Truckers and Living in Athens

A

little more than 10 years ago, Jason Carter sat outside Caledonia Lounge in the middle of the afternoon along with a handful of other people and listened to Patterson Hood play. This month, Carter stood on the stage of the Tabernacle in Atlanta and introduced Drive-By Truckers to more than 2,000 of Hood’s fans.

How much difference a decade can make.

In 2004, Carter was finishing up law school at the University of Georgia, heading off to Atlanta with his wife Kate after spending three happy years in Athens. Ten years later, he’d hold one of his first political rallies for governor here.

“Athens has been a really big part of my life on a personal level. We kicked off our marriage there,” Jason Carter says. “But it’s also the first place we appeared campaigning—it’s where we kicked off the campaign, essentially.”

Carter’s first official appearance as a gubernatorial candidate was last December at Hendershot’s in the Bottleworks on Prince Avenue. Polls now show him in a close race with Republican Gov. Nathan Deal, a feat few outside his immediate circle thought possible a year ago.

An Ordinary Life Law school brought the Carters to Georgia.

They met as undergrads at Duke University, and each spent a few years doing their own thing before tying the knot. Jason joined the Peace Corps and went to South Africa, later writing a book, Power Lines, about the experience. Kate got a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University in New York.

In the summer of 2001, as the next stage of their lives began, the couple rented a house in Five Points and spent a honeymoon month getting settled in Athens. Jason prepared to start classes in fall 2001; Kate took a job reporting for the Athens Banner-Herald.

“It’s so strange the way it happened,” Kate Carter says. “We found this house that we loved, and it is owned by Michael Joyce,

who owned The Strand [a salon on Lumpkin Street]. Michael cut the hair of Jason Winders, who was news editor at the Banner-Herald then… That’s how I got in touch with the Banner-Herald, and they just happened to have a reporter position open on the K–12 [education] beat.”

The Carters would live in that house for their three years in Athens. “It was a small house, but it felt like a mansion to us,” Kate says.

The first few weeks in Athens were carefree, she says. They had no money, but plenty of time. “We were enjoying living just as cheap as we could. We’d only been married a few months and having a wonderful time,” she says. “Then, we were living off the very thin bacon I brought home, but we loved every second of it.”

They haunted Caliente Cab—Bruno Rubio’s popular BYOB outdoor restaurant on Tallassee Road—along with Achim’s K-Bob, Five Star Day and Taste of India on West Broad Street. And Jason loves live music, especially Southern rock, his wife says. (His grandfather, President Jimmy Carter, famously introduced the Allman Brothers and had their support.)

“We saw amazing shows at 40 Watt and Caledonia… Tasty World,” Jason says. “My good buddies from Calhoun always were playing in a band, under various names, so we’d go see them.” (While Carter spent much of his school years in Chicago, he lived in Calhoun first and returned there throughout his childhood.) “When I think about Athens, I think about those days sitting outside Caliente Cab when it was just basically a trailer… Of course, we also celebrated our anniversary three years in a row at Five & Ten, because that is just where you go to celebrate an anniversary,” he says.

The World Changes In the middle of that carefree time, world events made everyone somber. “We started law school in August of 2001, so 9/11 happened three weeks into it… It had a profound effect

on all of us,” says Clete Johnson, a friend, classmate and, for two years, the Carters’ next-door neighbor on Springdale Street.

Johnson, whose father, Don, served in the Georgia Senate in the late 1980s and U.S. Congress from 1992–1994, had finished a stint in the military and was commuting to UGA from Royston when he and Jason started law school. “That first year, I spent two or three nights a week at their house, studying late.

It’s embarrassing to think how I must have been intruding on their time together, but they didn’t complain,” Johnson says. The following year, Johnson and fellow law school student Amit Bose—who today is deputy assistant secretary for the U.S. Department of Transportation—moved in next door.

The terrorist attacks forced lots of young people to question whether their career goals still made sense, but Johnson really wrestled with his choices. “I had lived overseas for five years and served in the Army before I started law school, so 9/11 really made me question, ‘What am I doing in law school? I need to work in national security,’” he says. “Due to a lot of advice from Jason and others, I decided to focus on national security and the law at the same time. That was definitely the right thing for me to do.” Today, he is the Federal Communication Commission’s chief counsel for cyber security.

“Jason had a serious commitment to public service. He showed up to law school with it.

That’s why he went to law school,” Johnson says. “Those 9/11 days just furthered that focus for him and underscored how important public service is. I didn’t know if I was meant to be here or overseas, but I think Jason always knew he was meant to serve and make a contribution in Georgia.”

Carter and Johnson were in a torts class together that first year, one of the weeder classes that challenge students accustomed to being the smartest in the class. “It is statistically impossible for everyone to be in the top 10 percent of the law school class,” says professor Dan Coenen. “That’s hard on some students who just aren’t happy where they are falling in the academic pecking order.”

But Carter did better than he had as an undergrad, Coenen says; he graduated summa cum laude. He also was the only student Coenen ever granted an excused absence to go on a book tour, he says. Carter completed the work without falling behind. “Jason was just extremely sharp. He didn’t have any trouble transitioning to law school,” Coenen says. “He didn’t get caught up in grades but enjoyed the academic challenge and understanding the material for its own sake.”

Several of the students who started UGA law school in 2000 or 2001 have gone on to very successful political careers in just a few years, including Ryan Teague, who became Gov. Deal’s executive counsel; Josh Belinfante, who was Gov. Sonny Perdue’s executive counsel; and current Georgia House members Mike Jacobs (R-Brookhaven), Stacey Godfrey Evans (D-Smyrna) and Ronnie Mabra (D-Fayetteville).

The exact moment Americans realized what was happening on 9/11, Jason Carter was standing in a lobby area of the law school with friend Chris Young, who soon would go to work for Perdue. “He is a good friend of mine and very influential in Republican politics, but he and I were standing right next to each other when the second plane hit, and everybody realized it was terrorists. There were about 50 people who just held hands and said a prayer. People forget that unity that was there right after the attacks, because it got frittered away so fast in politics.”

Carter didn’t shy away from politics, though. In fact, in 2001, he and friends founded the Red Clay Democrats, a group designed to bring youth and energy to the flagging Democratic Party in Georgia.

Full Circle While the law students debated gay marriage, war in Iraq, race relations and education reform, Kate Carter worked at the Athens Banner-Herald covering public education and then UGA. When they could afford lunch out, she and Jason would go to DePalma’s, but Kate always worried she’d run into sources

Jason Carter kicked off his gubernatorial campaign at Hendershot’s last year, drawing hundreds of people to a rally in spite of it being the weekend after Thanksgiving.

from the university—and that they’d be upset with her. “Reporting is so much fun but was a bit of a challenge for me. My personality is not naturally confrontational, but you have to ask questions, even if people don’t want to tell you the answers,” she says.

Kate worked two years at the BannerHerald and then a year as advisor at The Red & Black, the student newspaper. After moving to Atlanta, she worked as a writer and editor for the Atlanta Business Chronicle before taking a job teaching journalism at Henry W. Grady High School in Midtown.

While here, Kate also served on the board of Athens Tutorial, a 30-year-old program that solicits volunteers to help at-risk kids in Athens with their homework. And Jason worked with Legal Aid, a type of internship that places law school students with public defenders to represent people who can’t afford their own criminal defense.

The class and legal work is an elective, says Russell Gabriel, who ran the program then and still does. “It’s a way for students to get real experience with hands-on clients—not always the most-liked clients,” he says. The students, working with public defenders, help clients facing all types of misdemeanor or felony charges from theft and assault to drug possession or DUI. With 30 slots in the program, not all law students participate even one semester, but Jason worked two semesters.

Football was part of life in Athens—Kate is a Gator fan from Gainesville, FL—as well as basketball. “We didn’t watch basketball as much as we played it,” Jason says. He rattles off names of people who played together like it’s a joke: “A chef, a bassist, a law student and a business owner walk onto the court— but that’s what Athens is like. It’s where a chef, a bassist and a professor play basketball together.”

He did go see games, though, a few of them with R.E.M. bassist Mike Mills and manager/lawyer Bertis Downs, who met Carter at the law school. “I wasn’t a playing buddy of his, just a trash-talking buddy who occasionally went to a game,” Downs says.

While they did see some big acts in Athens, the Carters and their friends talk most about the smaller venues. “We would go see the Truckers all the time,” Clete Johnson says.

Those first shows were before Southern Rock Opera caught the music world’s attention, including a show at the now-closed Locos just off Baxter Street. “It was just Patterson Hood and a guitar… and about 50 people listening,” Johnson says.

The Truckers played for a near-capacity crowd at the Tabernacle in Atlanta on Oct. 10.

Carter introduced the band, announced he is running for governor and settled in for the show. The admiration is mutual. Hood posted to Instagram a sweaty, post-show selfie of himself and Carter on Saturday with the message: “Post-show w next Gov. of Georgia Jason Carter. What a really cool and smart guy. He’s pulling out of here to WIN!” About a month before the Carters moved to Atlanta in 2004, they fell in love with a puppy outside Walmart on Epps Bridge Parkway. The terms of their lease in Athens didn’t allow dogs, so they’d lived without one for the first three years of their marriage. That time was coming to an end—Jason was finishing his classes at the law school. They went inside the store and called their landlord to ask for a one-month reprieve on the no-dogs policy then hurried back outside to claim their puppy. They named her Jolene, after the 1973 Dolly Parton song about a beautiful woman who steals a man’s heart.

That puppy, Jolene, is still with the Carters today. She lived up to her name and made an impression on their hearts in the same way Athens did.

The Longshot   Ken Dious Looks to Deny GOP in Congressional Race

E

Joshua L. Jones

ver since Republicans in Atlanta took Rep. John Barrow’s hometown of Athens out of his 12th District in 2004, it’s been virtually impossible for a Democrat to win our new home in the 10th.

Democrats have tried conservative, guntoting Democrats and liberal, latte-toting Democrats; both types lost to Rep. Paul Broun by staggering margins. Democrats threw up their hands in 2012 and didn’t even run a candidate, despite the benefit in driving up turnout of having President Barack Obama on the ballot.

Athens lawyer Ken Dious hopes to reverse that trend, running against Jody Hice, the candidate chosen by Republican voters to succeed Broun in the 10th. I sat down with Dious in his West Broad Street office to ask him about his campaign and his policy goals were he to pull off what would be a stunning upset.

And then I looked down at the nominees they had on the Republican side, and I said, “I guarantee you that it’s gonna be a runoff, and the Tea Party person, Jody Hice, is gonna be

10th District.” So I said that I was gonna run and make sure the people in the 10th District get good representation. That’s what motivated me.

KD: I start off with jobs. Poor counties can’t sit there and wait until Caterpillar or General Motors are gonna move down to Putnam County. That’s not gonna happen.

I think your congressman now is gonna really have to… be a leader in the 10th District to start some kind of economic development in those areas. Particularly with the new initiative, go green, stuff like that that’s going on now, some jobs we can develop. I’d like to see the rural development, like the old Farmers Home Administration become more effective in creating small businesses in those areas.

And make it work. Instead of becoming congressman, putting it in your back pocket and “see ya.” Some of those counties have never even seen Paul Broun. And Jody Hice, either.

A lot of those people in small counties, they’ll drive 50 miles to go to work. The school systems need to be brought up to par.

Flagpole: Why are you running for Congress?

Ken Dious: I’ve been practicing law in FP: You talk a lot about strengthening this area that’s now the new 10th District schools, which is an expensive endeavor, for a long time. This district is sort of a but you also favor a Balanced Budget strange district: It has a top-heavy popuAmendment, a very conservative idea that lation of Athens, Barrow, Walton County, will limit our ability to fund things like and then you go down to the rural part, Democratic congressional candidate Ken Dious at a fundraiser for Senate candidate Michelle Nunn at Little Kings Shuffle schools. and I’ve practiced down in that area, and Club in July.

FP: Again, you speak of a great and growing divide between the rich and the rest of us, but you say on your website that “entitlement spending must be drastically curbed.”

KD: It all depends on what you’re cutting.

Some programs do not work. Let’s face it, they just do not work. If you’re going to cut some programs, tell the people, “Hey, listen, this program that you are on, I’m going to give you a three-year warning. Three years from now you’re not going to be able to get it.

You’re going to have to go to school, you’re going to have to be responsible for yourself.”

FP: This is a tense and complicated time in the foreign policy arena. What are your views on America’s place in the world?

KD: That’s another reason I’m running.

What we have now, this country is so divided by party and we’re over here acting like a bunch of gangs of schoolkids over here almost fighting a war between ourselves. And so Russia just says, “They can’t pass a bill. If I want to do something what are they gonna do about it?” ISIS says, “What are you they gonna do about it? They can’t do anything about it! They can’t even agree on how they would stop me. So I can just do what I want to do.” Like they say: The rat will play when the cat is away.

My competitor is just going to be a further obstructionist. That’s all he’s gonna do. That’s not me. I don’t care who suggested it. If it’s a good idea, it needs to get done. It’s childish, it’s really childish.

FP: Some of your positions are to the far right of the political spectrum, like the Balanced Budget Amendment and social program austerity, then to the progressive end, with ideas like Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s student loan idea.

KD: I’m a conservative person, particularly when it comes to spending. I’m a conservative person. I believe people should take their own initiative. You wanted to do what you wanted to do and not save, and you are now broke, and you want to blame me because you did not take care of what you needed to take care of. This is what I see every day in the real world as a lawyer, particularly among the young. I see it every day. It’s gotten worse over a period of time.

FP: Another progressive policy goal of yours is a raising of the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour. Absent that, I don’t see how a lot of people save like you urge.

KD: When Burger King and McDonald’s got started, it was always just a kid’s job. It was never intended to be a job for an adult, and

then somehow it has worked its way into that, maybe because of the loss of jobs we’ve suffered from in this country. The United States now is a service industry. We’re not a base manufacturing country anymore, and that is what it’s come to.

I used to own a franchise when they raised the minimum wage. And the thing I did, I said, “Let’s be more productive.” I don’t think nobody’s going to raise the product cost because the minimum wage has gone up some.

I think they can adjust to the minimum wage going up.

But you gotta remember, the minimum wage only affects 15 percent of the population, if that. Everybody else already makes more than the minimum wage. All of us now are making less money. We’re $6,000 less per capita income than we were 10 years ago.

The thing happening in this country is that we’ve got a great divide between the wealthy and the middle class. We need a new direction to correct some of that. But the wealthy just say, “I’ve got a house in Switzerland, I got one out in Colorado, I got one in Argentina.

Country lines mean nothing to me at all, so I want to make as much money as the sheik.”

And I have no problem with that.

I want to have a fair and equitable tax, and I want to bring some of the offshore money back into this country. You know, if we could just bring all the offshore money back into this country and just give them a 5 percent tax, we could cure the deficit and have a big surplus overnight.

FP: Do you think you can win in November?

KD: This district is a new district. This is not the same district Paul Broun ran in. And most people do not know that. Nobody knows what the district’s going to do. [Editor’s note: The 10th changed slightly in 2012, losing some of the North Georgia Mountains and adding territory in Gwinnett County and Middle Georgia.

It’s still 63 percent Republican, according to Cook Political Report.]

Because your daddy pulled the “R” lever, you don’t need to pull the “R” lever. Look at the issues. If you need the Affordable Care Act, why are you going to pull the “R” lever for somebody who’s going to repeal it? Come on, now. I’m hoping that they will see that in this election.

The young vote is a real struggle—between 18 and 40. Are they listening? I don’t know.

Are they going to vote? I think if they go vote, I’ll win. If they don’t, I’m going to struggle.

What I want people to do before they say, “Ken, you don’t have a snowball’s chance,” don’t sit in Atlanta and tell me that. Before you say that, you need to go down there and see what’s going on. Don’t prejudge the election, because it’s a new district. I think a Democrat can win.

Jody Hice represents an interesting question for the Republican Party. If he goes to Washington, he’s going to hurt them nationally. He’s going to hurt them nationally for the presidential election. Are the women going to vote for Jody Hice after the things he said about them? Is the gay community going to vote for him? Those are interesting questions.

But the bigger question is, do they know who Jody Hice is? Do they know who I am?

With Jody Hice in Washington and the current administration, you can just write the 10th District off, not getting anything. And so if that’s what you want, vote for Jody Hice.

It’s just that simple. We’re not going to get any real concessions out of Washington with Jody Hice there.

Jack Kingston was carrying the university. Paul Broun wasn’t doing anything. Jack Kingston’s gone. Jody Hice isn’t going to care about the university.

don’t think you can do everything at one time.

Job creation and economic flow solves a lot of problems. If we create jobs down there, we can do both. Bill Clinton had a budget surplus.

It can be done. At least we break even.

There needs to be a new approach to some things. Some things need to be changed. In the education system, the best way for it to be done is that we probably have to go to some small tax to take it off the property tax.

Because property taxes do not create equal education. Poor counties don’t have the tax base. My philosophy on that is that then you can decrease the school tax. There would still be some property tax. And it would help some people, particularly elderly people. I’ve got clients right now that are up in age and can’t pay their property taxes. So they need some relief.

You can look at that disadvantaged right here. Eighty percent of the students at UGA are from North Atlanta. So then we have a great economic divide because of a lack of training and education. As a result, you have a big divide between the wealthy and the middle class, the middle class decreasing.

comment Gov. Deal’s Scandal-Plagued Reign Back in 2007, Georgia Revenue Commissioner Bart Graham noticed something funny in the state budget. What he discovered would bring to light a scandal then nearly 20 years old, yet which still hasn’t ended.

What caught Graham’s attention was a scheme set up in 1990 that granted regional monopolies to a handful of businesses for performing mandatory title inspections on salvaged cars. Funny thing, not only did these shops have no competition, but they never bid for the contracts, and on top of that, the state was paying the inspectors to the tune of well over a million dollars a year.

And lo and behold, the sweetest contract— for the populous region, including Gainesville and Atlanta, where fees were higher than anywhere else—had been handed to a company called Gainesville Salvage Disposal, co-owned by none other than Nathan Deal, a state senator in 1990, and, by 2007, a U.S. representative in Washington. Nobody could tell Graham how or why the contracts were granted, and Deal himself said of the process, “I don’t know there was much of an official thing,” he told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 2009.

But the money was official enough, so with the support of the state attorney general, Graham decided to end the no-bid monopolies and privatize the system, saving $1.7 million off the annual state budget. While Graham may have expected some pushback from the beneficiaries of the sweetheart system, he could never have foreseen the lengths to which Deal would go to keep that spigot of taxpayer cash open.

Two years earlier, Nathan Deal had sunk $2 million into his daughter Carrie Wilder’s business venture, Wilder Outdoors, and by the spring of 2008 had signed off on more than $2 million in additional loans as the store failed to turn a profit. Easing Deal’s pain somewhat were the tens of thousands of dollars he earned as a corporate officer of GSD, as reported on his W2s.

The only problem was that Congress prohibited members from serving as corporate officers and from making more than about $25,000 in outside earned income. And by 2007 Deal was earning nearly three times that amount from GSD per his tax returns.

Representative Deal solved that problem by simply failing to disclose his position at GSD on his congressional financial reports, and listing his earned income as dividends instead, according to a complaint by the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

So in June of 2008, Commissioner Graham was called to a meeting by Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and found himself greeted by Deal, flanked by his GSD business partner Ken Cronan and Chief of Staff Chris Riley. Cagle later claimed it was simply a talk between the commissioner and a constituent businessman, while Deal claims to have been acting as a “public servant.”

In any case, Deal was there to ask that GSD be granted a full-time, state-paid inspector, which would mean more title inspections for himself and Cronan and, naturally, more revenue. Graham, who had informed Deal of his intentions to privatize the system five months earlier, refused on the grounds that no other location had a full-time inspector, and anyway, he hadn’t changed his mind about ending the monopolies.

Deal, however, was not inclined to take no for an answer, and just four days before Wilder

Outdoors closed up for good—leaving Deal with a $2 million cash loss plus more than $2 million in loan debt, for which he would soon have to put his Gainesville home on the market and liquidate retirement accounts— another meeting was called.

Debt Soars as Monopoly Ends The meeting was described as “contentious” and “hostile,” and Graham has said that Deal left no doubt he wanted the $1.7 million for title inspectors restored to the state budget, justifying the move in part by speculating that if left to the free market, “illegal aliens” might end up getting the work. Despite the pressure, Graham refused to budge.

Yet three days later, on the eve of Wilder Outdoors’ closure, the $1.7 million for state title inspectors reappeared in the budget.

Neither the Senate committee chairman nor the subcommittee chairman overseeing the process claim to know or recall how it happened. The lieutenant governor’s office had no comment.

But a few hundred thousand in income is no match for millions in losses and debt, and in May of 2009, Deal and Cronan would take out a $2.8 million loan, backed by the assets of GSD. This loan would go undisclosed by Deal for over a year until uncovered and reported by the AJC. And in that same month, Deal announced he’d be running for governor of Georgia—and, of course, accepting contributions to a campaign fund.

According to law, campaign funds cannot be used to enrich a candidate or his associates. Nevertheless, the Nathan Deal for Governor campaign (DFG) routed more than $40,000 to Nathan’s daughter Denise as campaign staff, and more than $135,000 in airfare—more than six times what opponents Roy Barnes and Karen Handel spent combined—to North Georgia Aviation, a subsidiary of Deal’s own GSD. And as it happened, the plane and helicopter they used were owned

by HRPW and PWWR, companies whose official addresses were the same as the home address of Riley, Deal’s chief of staff.

Deal could use the cash, seeing as how Graham went ahead and privatized the state title inspection system through regulation. Despite claiming that his attempt to strong-arm Graham was not illegal because, according to Deal, privatization would benefit his business, Deal and Cronan opted to shut down their title inspection business in August of 2009, rather than operate it on the free market.

Unfortunately for Deal, the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Standards of Official Conduct (CSOC) took a different view of the whole title inspection affair and asked the Office of Congressional Ethics to review it.

The office reviewed the case, and in February of 2010 unanimously recommended an official investigation, finding “substantial reason to believe” that Nathan Deal violated rules limiting outside income, prohibiting income as a corporate officer, requiring full financial disclosure and barring personal use of government resources. The office also believed that he may have violated rules against using his office for personal gain.

Fortunately for Deal, there was a fix for that, since the CSOC only has jurisdiction

over members of Congress. On Mar. 21, 2010, Nathan Deal resigned his seat as a U.S. Representative, stopping the investigation cold.

But the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have no such restrictions, and on May 24, Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert McBurney and an agent from the FBI showed up at Graham’s office at the Department of Revenue with a subpoena to provide evidence to a federal grand jury, the AJC reported. The criminal investigation into Nathan Deal had begun.

Campaign Cash Covers Debt Not one to be daunted by mere legal proceedings, Deal continued to route tens of thousands of dollars to daughter Denise through a company called Southern Magnolia Capital, then when that was exposed, through a business called The Sassafras Group. According to charges later filed with the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission (commonly known as the ethics commission), he allegedly siphoned off even more cash to fund his legal defense against the feds.

So in October 2010, ethics commission director Stacey Kalberman and deputy director Sherilyn Streicker began seeking subpoenas for members of the Deal campaign, investigating charges that Deal had accepted excess contributions and then used them for improper purposes. In early 2011, after Deal was elected governor, the FBI and federal prosecutors got interested, too, paying a visit to Kalberman and Streicker to find out what was going on down in Georgia.

Deal allegedly siphoned off even more cash to fund his legal defense against the feds.

In May 2011, Deal’s executive counsel, Ryan Teague, contacted Holly LaBerge to see if she’d be interested in taking Kalberman’s job. The following month, both Kalberman and Streicker were forced out under the pretense of budget cuts, and in August, LaBerge was installed in Kalberman’s place. According to sworn testimony by ethics commission staff, that’s when orders came down to remove, alter and destroy documents in the Deal investigation files.

The federal criminal investigation was still dogging him, and although Deal couldn’t stop the feds, a vacant judge’s seat in a Georgia district offered an opportunity to at least slow it down by granting the coveted appointment to none other than Robert McBurney, the federal prosecutor who had been investigating him.

The following summer, LaBerge’s ethics commission offered Deal’s legal team a

consent order (equivalent to a plea deal) of a $5,400 fine on most of the financial violations, 75 percent less than an offer made the previous month, which itself was a fraction of the original $70,000 recommendation. Charges of using campaign funds for legal fees and funneling money to himself through North Georgia Aviation were still pending.

Riley was unpleased with that arrangement, and on July 16, 2012, he texted LaBerge, asking her to “resolve all DFG issues” before a scheduled hearing one week away. The next day, Teague also called LaBerge on behalf of Deal, saying they’d be happier with a $1,500 fine, no admission of guilt and having the big charges simply tossed out.

LaBerge balked at that, but Teague told her it was “not in the agency’s best interest for these cases to go to a [public] hearing” and that the agency’s “rule-making authority may not happen” if they did. And although LaBerge protested “that the threat of rule making being withheld was being used to make the complaints go away,” nevertheless Deal was let off with a $3,350 fine (to cover administrative fees) and all charges were dropped.

A Helping Hand With the state investigation out of the way, at least, Deal could finally focus on repairing his finances, and in May 2013, he and Cronan worked out a deal to sell GSD “for a few million dollars plus a monthly rental” to a company called Copart, which happened to owe the state of Georgia nearly $74 million in unpaid taxes. Deal’s attorney, Randy Evans, assured the press that Deal had no knowledge of any of that, since the transaction was handled entirely by a blind trust.

Yet less than two weeks before the sale, Evans himself had been in on a series of emails among Deal’s counsel and staff regarding the transaction, which were so deep in the weeds that Riley was editing Copart’s press release.

(He had wanted references to Gainesville removed so that it appeared to be the sale of an Atlanta company.) Noticeably absent from the CC list on those emails was Jim Allen, the fellow in charge of the blind trust.

As for the press release, it was scuttled entirely and never saw the light of day. Copart had to settle for a tweet and a Facebook post.

By December 2013, the feds had apparently regrouped without McBurney and issued subpoenas to LaBerge, Kalberman, Streicker and two other ethics commission staff members demanding documents for the grand jury investigation, numerous media outlets reported.

While Evans speculated that the action was somehow unrelated to Deal, the case number on the subpoena for computer specialist John Hair—who admitted to altering documents under orders—matched the case number of the earlier investigation in which the state ethics commission had cooperated with federal authorities.

By April 2014, a jury had unanimously ruled that Kalberman was wrongfully forced from office for investigating the charges against Governor Deal. She was awarded $700,000 in damages. Two months later, whistleblower lawsuits filed by Streicker, Hair and ethics commission attorney Elisabeth MurrayObertein were settled out of court.

And seven years after a revenue commissioner noticed some funny business in the state budget, Nathan Deal remains governor of Georgia.

Back to the Future Julian Lage on the New Age of Guitar

(l to r) Julian Lage and Chris Eldridge

T

he phrase “child prodigy” occurs often in written accounts of jazz guitarist Julian Lage, who honed his skills while most of his peers were watching cartoons. You may recall Lage as the subject of the short 1996 documentary Jules at Eight, or from the then-13-year-old’s duet with vibraphonist Gary Burton at the 2000 Grammy Awards.

But while many wunderkinds flame out in spectacular fashion, the 26-year-old, New York City-based musician has parlayed that early attention into an impressive and stillunfolding career.

Lage transmits a warm and curious quality via telephone, where he tells Flagpole he has just wrapped up a teaching session and is preparing for a weeklong residency at East Village performance space The Stone. The six-night series will find Lage playing two shows each evening with a constantly rotating cast of musicians—”12 different projects” in all, Lage says with an audible grin.

“I’m learning as I go—what things carry over from one project to another,” Lage says of his collaborations. “[It’s about] being available for what the project needs. And a big part of that is letting certain things that were helpful the previous night expire the next night.”

Lage is creatively restless to an exceptional degree. Although he is classically trained, his foundation is in improvisation. He uses both sets of skills with chameleonic effect, most recently in his pairing with guitarist Chris “Critter” Eldridge, a force on the new-bluegrass scene known for his work with groups like the Infamous Stringdusters and the Punch Brothers.

Lage and Eldridge bring their show to Athens Sunday, Oct. 26. It’s an exploration of American acoustic music in all its storied, resonant glory.

“It came about very organically,” Lage says of the partnership. “I met Critter through his work with Punch Brothers… As friends, we got along really well, and as guitar players, we shared a lot of the same priorities and sensibilities and interests. Not just in the bluegrass and jazz realm, but elsewhere: popular music, classical.

“We hit it off,” he continues. “We’d get together and spend a lot of time practicing when we were both in town—again, just as friends. At a certain point, we [thought], ‘Let’s try doing this as a project’.”

With a shared adoration for guitar gods like John Carlini, Robben Ford and Jim Hall (“We grew up reading the same issues of Guitar Player,” says Lage, laughing.), the pair envisioned the project as “a confluence of improvised music [and] acoustic string music tradition in a way that feels integrated with songs,” explains Lage, adding that he and Eldridge are “trying to… feature flat-top acoustic guitars in a light that we know is there but maybe hasn’t been seen in the public record so much.”

The collaboration has thus far spawned a short set of original tunes (2013’s Close to Picture EP) and the recently released Avalon, a live set from the historic Avalon Theatre in Easton, MD. The music feels lived-in yet new, the Great American Songbook approached with a healthy mix of reverence, exuberance and virtuosity.

On Avalon, straightforward versions of bluegrass standards like Norman Blake’s “Ginseng Sullivan” sit alongside numbers like “Steady Proof,” an intricate, imaginative original that blends traditional acoustic flavor with an odd-metered, prog-like rhythmic approach.

The record serves as a reminder of the timelessness of the guitar, which has seen its profile diminished in popular music over the past decade. Lage muses thoughtfully on the topic, dismissing talk of the instrument’s supposed demise.

“From my perspective, the guitar is a vast forest with some parts known and a lot unknown,” he says. “That’s what’s exciting to me about the instrument. In each person’s hands, it kind of has a different blueprint… I feel optimistic in the sense that I think the guitar is something to be discovered by everyone.”

Additionally, he says, the fact that guitars have fallen out of favor with the radio-listening public may actually inspire a new generation of players to find their own sound.

“I think that makes it very appealing. I played guitar as a little kid because my father played it, but I think I continued because people around me didn’t play it. I liked that it wasn’t an obvious choice.”

Indeed, a glance at the underground reveals that guitar music in 2014—anchored by names like Lage and Eldridge, but also a young generation of Fahey-obsessed Primitivists like Daniel Bachman and graying free-form experimenters like Bill Orcutt—is thriving.

Interestingly, it’s similar to what was happening with the instrument a century ago, says Lage.

“It was like the wild west” back then, he says. “It was kind of country, kind of jazz, kind of virtuosic classical technique. Nothing had been pinned down quite yet. I think we’re seeing cool stuff today from young people who have Van Halen and Alan Holdsworth in their lineage as much as Jim Hall or John Fahey. There’s a crazy hybrid aesthetic that could only happen now. And it’s not even as fleshed-out as fully as it will be. So, that’s exciting.”

record reviews threats & promises Music News And Gossip

New reviews of local albums are posted regularly at flagpole.com.

Dream Boat: The Rose Explodes Cloud

Dream Boat’s second album, The Rose Explodes, is lush and pretty; for Page Campbell, Dan Donahue and their collaborators, no world exists outside their floating paradise of folky harmonies, ponderous thumps and shimmery synths. Everything is bright, but the more nuanced tracks shine with the strangest colors, like “Closest” and its butterfly oscillations, or “The Softest Touch,” with its inky depths.

With all the rich detail in the arrangements, the utterly flat vocals are frustrating. They’re even more so when one realizes that the lyrics offer even less.

As the music advances with cinematic glory to the staggering, suspended pulse of “Way Gone,” Campbell remains angelic and faceless, spouting generic elegies of universal love and loss (“I wait for your call to save me”; “You make me want to live forever”).

The Rose Explodes begs to be praised for defying genre—just listen to the billowy “Never Die,” where gentle Americana strumming, swoony viola blossoms and noble horn fanfares smack together into one blockbuster love scene. It’s impressive, but as a whole, the album comes off as a towering obelisk, all slick surfaces and no footholds. [Lee Adcock]

Independent Release

Debut records are difficult to evaluate; the lack of context makes it nearly impossible to be fair. That being said, the inaugural release from local band Oak House documents a band brimming with potential.

It would be a mistake to overlook the similarity of Gresham Cash’s vocals to Thom Yorke’s trademark faux falsetto. Additionally, certain lyrics (“I know your face/ I forget your name/ It’s not important to me now”) are akin to Kid A-era Radiohead. But while copping Yorke’s style is a dangerous move, it’s surprisingly effective here. Paired with the intertwining violin work by Slade Adams and the sometimes erratic drumming of Wes Gregory, tracks like “Make it Rhyme” are strikingly novel.

Other surprising aspects of Plastique Cash worth noting: the substantial amount of experimental noise in the middle part of the record, the tempered chaos on “Loved Her,” the garage-inflected “Hated Her,” which also features a cavalcade of instrumental freak-outs toward its end, as well as some Fugazi-esque bass tones from Wes Kent.

When things go airy, they don’t stay that way for too long. Even the sparser acoustic numbers (“Synesthesia”) are so nicely arranged that they hold interest, although I strongly prefer the raucous sounds of songs like “Kent’s Kentish.” Plastique Cash is a dynamic statement. [Dan Mistich]

Pinecones: Sings For You Now

Independent Release

Critics of the phrase “rock revival” as it relates to our music community will tell you that rock and roll never died, but there’s no debating many Athens venues, once guitar havens, are now all about that bass (or that synth, or that banjo, or whatever).

Still, a thriving rock scene has reestablished itself locally; on a subatomic level, the nationwide resurgence of bummer-grunge and discordant Dischord grooves is well represented in the Classic City (see Waitress, Motherfucker and The Powder Room for three particularly potent examples).

Pinecones, which splits time between our burg and Atlanta, is a powerful live entity, as evidenced by the Plays Cosmic Hits EP, a board recording from a radio set released last year to much local buzz. Sings For You Now, the group’s debut studio outing, is a tidier, more focused effort than the EP, if not by much. There are no frills to be found, only chunky, blown-out power chords, punishing 4/4 rhythms and throat-shredding vocals courtesy of frontman Bo Orr. The album’s best songs, like “Apocalypse Twin,” play like classic-rock radio on an HGH comedown, mean and melodic and inarticulately vulnerable.

It’s an endearingly sloppy set, showcasing the feral energy of Pinecones’ live set (one gets the sense Sings For You Now is basically a live record), though slightly overlong. The record’s best moments, like Orr’s blood-curdling yelp at the 1:30 mark on centerpiece “Do Not Move,” achieve something deceptively difficult: They demand that you listen, and listen loud. [Gabe Vodicka]

Knotts Landing: Ostensibly centered in South Carolina, Donny Knottsville (aka Walter Kovax, aka Malcolm Walters, aka Rorshak) can still call Athens home any time he wants. His resume as an MC with Deaf Judges and Mad Axes is unimpeachable, and his new mixtape, Brainiac Frankenstein, gets a lot of his old crew back together.

It was engineered and mixed by Joel Hatstat, features appearances from SOHI, Louie Larceny, a beat from Cubenza (exOld White Women, Deaf Judges) and Donny Knottsville even two tracks with Monsoon’s Sienna Chandler. The album is catchy, well crafted, kinda silly at times and kinda dirty at others. Certain tracks are undeniable cruisers (“Gospel Pussy Mellinnium Tent Revival” [sic], “Mad Illin’”—which features a sample of Madeline’s “Tie One On”—and “Hammer Games”), while others take a minute to get into (“Blood Meridian” and the not-really-all-that-good “Rock & Roll Party”). All in all, though, it’s a totally fun, completely unself-conscious record and should be a welcome spin in any vehicle with four wheels. Check it at donnyknottsville.bandcamp.com.

Oak House: Plastique Cash

Movin’ On Up: Noun Factory is seeking other lodging after deciding its current space at 145 Ruth Drive will not work as a public performance and gallery space. Even as the organizers seek a property more suitable for their needs, the current location will continue as a private-use studio. To this end, they are seeking artists and businesses (those needing a place to craft wares, not ones open to the public) in need of such a space. If you’re interested in sharing or have a hot tip on a property that this very cool upstart organization would find more suitable, drop a line to nounfactoryathens@gmail.com.

Keep up with developments at facebook.com/ BHCNounFactory.

Two-Piece Snack: The “cassette revolution” has inevitably now led to the revival of cassette singles, which actually really does seem silly, even if full-length albums can be still be decently showcased via the medium. However, it’d be sad if this fact caused you to miss out on the upcoming release by The Dream Scene. The two-song event comes courtesy of New York’s OSR Tapes, and features the tracks “New Emotion” and “Behind The Scenes.” This is the first new music from the unclassifiable but generally otherworldly and beautiful

Dream Scene (aka Javier Morales) in a while, and any such release is cause for occasion. So stream it via osr-tapes.bandcamp.com, and consider throwing down the three bucks to make it a physical reality in your life.

Time is running out on the current fundraising effort by Honeychild. The group’s current Indiegogo campaign and its highly ambitious goal of $8,500 ends 2:59 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 26 (or 11:59 p.m. Pacific Standard Time Oct. 25).

As of this writing, the effort has garnered less than half the desired amount. If the band gets up to at least the $4,000 level, they’ll be able to pay the bill for the already-recorded new album, Surrender, and Indiegogo is structured such that even if a campaign doesn’t meet its goal, all funds raised are still delivered to the artist. I brought you news of this campaign about a month ago, and my assessment of it still stands: The contribution levels are higher than campaigns of a similar nature, but they’re also explicit as to the benefits they convey.

Further, the budget for the whole campaign is laid out on its description page and, although there’s a couple of items I’d put the kibosh on, it’s pretty cool to see Honeychild mention their desire to pay photographers and graphic designers. So, if you’ve got some dinero, gather it up and send it in. For more information, see facebook.com/Honeychild.

Hallowhat?: All Hallow’s Eve is always a very busy night in Athens, but that’s generally because every band in town is doing its honest-to-gosh best to pay goofball tribute to some other band. Also, there’s simply an insane number of adults that like to go out and watch and/or be watched. But this year, the already-announced lineup of talent is pretty stunning, and, thus far, it features nary a goof in sight. Drive-By Truckers will play the Georgia Theatre; tickets are $27.50 in advance, and this will sell out. Elf Power and Circulatory System will play the 40 Watt Club for the ridonkulous price of $5.

And Casper & the Cookies will play The World Famous with power-pop legends The Paul Collins Beat for free. Don’t ask me why, because I don’t know, and I’ll be the first to say this makes no sense at all. But don’t look this gift horse in the mouth too deeply. Make your plans now, and have a great night, y’all.

One of the things that kept me motivated while I was in my third trimester of pregnancy—a state of being that has since been remedied and was responsible for the break in your regularly scheduled Grub Notes coverage—was the thought that soon I would be able to consume raw oysters and frozen negronis at Seabear Oyster Bar (297 Prince Ave., #10, 706-850-4367).

Patrick Stubbers, Chris Luken and Peter Dale, all of The National, among other projects, joined forces to renovate the space in the Bottleworks right across from Viva Argentine and Hendershot’s. Previously occupied by a bakery and a coffee shop, the premises are not large, but Seabear makes good use of them, and the renovations are thoughtful and lovely, of a piece with the eatery’s general approach. The bar takes up about half the dining area, which is appropriate.

Really, you should think of Seabear as a bar at which you can get a bite to eat rather than as a seafood restaurant. The menu is small and encourages snacking, with only one traditionally sized entrée, and the drinks are a serious point of emphasis. Filling up on oysters is next to impossible, even with a fat wallet, but

thick-cut bread from Independent Baking Co. and topped with a slice of tomato and a single bread-and-butter pickle, both pinned to the exterior with a toothpick. Satisfying, especially paired with a beer, and focused on simple pleasures, it mirrors Seabear’s emphasis on doing a few things and doing them well.

There’s nothing crazy about the seared okra served in cast-iron, paired with cherry tomatoes and garlic aioli and seasoned with Old Bay, and that’s just how it should be.

Honestly, even the tomatoes could be seen as extraneous to the point of the dish, which is that okra is wonderful stuff. The green bean salad is one of the highlights of the menu, dressed with horseradish and creme fraiche and studded with jewel-like smoked trout roe.

Slow down while you’re eating it and make sure you pop the roe between your teeth, lest you miss the delight of a burst of smoke flavor in combination with the sharp horseradish.

The beer-braised Beeler’s bratwurst is good but not transcendent, but the fried chicken leg, served over pickled napa cabbage, calls to mind Portland’s Pok Pok in its combination of meaty chicken, crisp fatty skin, finely chopped peanuts and a sauce with hints of mirin. It’s Randy Schafer

your best bet to give it a go is to hit Seabear between 3–6 p.m., when all of its beauteous bivalves are priced at $1.50 each during “oyster happy hour.” You can at least order one of each of its selections without feeling quite so guilty about what you’re spending.

The oyster menu changes every day, and the staff says they can easily go through 750 oysters on a good night. These aren’t the kind of oysters you top with cheese and broil or bread and fry. You might be lucky enough to sample Cannery Points, from Washington state, which have a distinct, clean, sweet flavor of cucumber at the end, or Sweet Jesuses, from Maryland, which are mild and delicate.

Barnstables, from Massachusetts, take you on a rollercoaster as they hit salt, sweet and bitter notes. Moonstones, from Rhode Island, taste like cold, clear brine. There are no duds in the bunch, and you can have a lot of fun comparing terroirs as you chomp happily. They come with little thimbles of cocktail sauce, should you need it, and a nice mignonette that helps as a palate cleanser.

The menu’s small-plates emphasis means it’s easy to spend a chunk of change in a hurry, but you could also stop in for a perfect grilled cheese, made with sharp cheddar on

salty and sweet and juicy and briny, a great and smart take on bar food. The crispy scallion pancake, topped with wonderful sweet rock crab and micro-greens, has a faint heat that builds as you work your way through it.

Dessert (Key lime pie and flourless chocolate cake) is profoundly un-hip but not, alas, as good as the savory stuff.

The drinks list is intelligent, quirky and fun, from the limited-edition Creature Comforts cucumber-lime gose (yowza!) to the negroni slushy, which will convert even the bitter-phobic with its wonderful texture and clear flavors, to a punch that combines Blackwell Jamaican rum, cognac, Luxardo maraschino liqueur, peach brandy and green tea. There is much to explore, especially if you have a taste for sours and Belgian brews.

The staff is eager to discuss what you might like, offering a sample of Samuel Smith’s Winter Welcome Ale with friendly zeal and conversing on the benefits of flutes versus coupes for champagne service (you can get either sort of glass). Seabear is open from 3 p.m.–midnight every day, takes credit cards and has a few tables outside as well as inside.

Oconee Hill Cemetery

HallOween ROundup A Guide to Haunted Happenings

H

alloween is never isolated to a single night in Athens, and many spirited events creep up a good two weeks in advance. To prepare yourself for the Wild Rumpus Parade—which will march through the streets of downtown on Friday, Oct. 31 at 8:30 p.m.—here’s a compendium of additional celebratory possibilities.

Haunted Tours & History: “Landscapes of the Hereafter: Three Historic Cemeteries in Athens, GA“—currently on view at UGA’s Circle Gallery through Friday, Nov. 7—features photographs and historical information about Old Athens Cemetery, Oconee Hill Cemetery and Gospel Pilgrim Cemetery, all of which are on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation has organized a series of correlated tours; Al Hester will lead a tour of Gospel Pilgrim Cemetery on Saturday, Oct. 25 at 10 a.m., and Charlotte Thomas Marshall (she wrote the book) will lead a tour of Oconee Hill Cemetery on Saturday, Nov. 8 at 10 a.m. Tours are $12–15; visit achfonline.org/heritage walks to register.

The Athens Welcome Center and Classic City Tours’ newest tour series, Folklore, Facts & Fables, offers a Haunted Happy Hour on Thursday, Oct. 23 and Thursday, Oct. 30, departing at 6 p.m. from the welcome center.

The downtown walking tours reveal exclusive insider knowledge on historic buildings, well known landmarks and little-known oddities, covering ghost stories along the way. The walks conclude at Creature Comfort Brewery at 7:30 p.m. in time for optional tastings and brewery tours. Tour tickets are $15 and can be reserved by calling 706-353-1820.

Haunted Trails: As the story goes, Zombie Farms was founded after a farmer realized that the secret to repressing the brain cravings of the undead was to put their idle hands to use.

By sending them into the fields to harvest crops, he created the ultimate labor force that requires no payment, never complains and never rests. Visitors are invited to take a halfmile walk through creepy woods filled with zombies in their natural habitat, then listen to stories and roast marshmallows around a campfire, assuming they survive. Zombie Farms is located at 568 Smithonia Rd. in Winterville.

Tickets are $20 and are sold between 8–11:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday through Nov. 1.

Additional Halloween-themed trails include the American Red Cross’ Fright Flight 5K, set for Saturday, Oct. 25 at 10 a.m. at the UGA Intramural Fields, and the 14th annual JackO-Lantern Jog 5K and one-mile Goblin Fun Run on Sunday, Oct. 26 at 2 p.m. along the North Oconee River Greenway. Costumes are encouraged in both races.

Film: In addition to the Gonzoriffic Underground Movie Show—a campy collection of locally-made DIY shorts screening

at midnight on Friday, Oct. 24 and Saturday, Oct. 25 (see Calendar Pick on p. 16)—Ciné presents Schlocktoberfest, a month-long horrorshow series highlighting a handful of the genre’s most essential movies. Cult classic An American Werewolf in London screens on Thursday, Oct. 23–Saturday, Oct. 25, and John Carpenter’s hugely influential slasher flick, Halloween, will appropriately end the series on Thursday, Oct. 30 and Friday, Oct. 31. Shows are held at 10 p.m., and admission is $7.50.

Ciné’s free Bad Movie Night, set for Tuesday, Oct. 28 at 8:30 p.m., presents 1984 metalsploitation horror film Rocktober Blood.

Performance: As an homage to the world of vampires, the Canopy Studio Repertory Company presents High Stakes, a series of spooky aerial performances involving tight wire, trapezes, silks, bungees, hanging stars and aerial coffins. Local chamber trio Revien, which features members of the Georgia Guitar Quartet and a duet between Wild Rumpus ringleader Timi Conley and classical guitarist Kyle Dawkins will provide a musical background to the show. Audience members are encouraged to dress up by wearing costumes or the color black. Showtimes are Friday, Oct. 24 at 8 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 25 at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 26 at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Tickets are $6–15 and can be purchased in advance at canopystudio.org.

The Athens Showgirl Cabaret offers Halloween-themed entertainment at Go Bar on Saturday, Oct. 25. Kellie Divine, Delerea, Semaj, Damien, Daniella Ves and other members of the drag troupe will take the stage for an otherworldly performance. Prizes will be awarded to the best costumes of the night.

Doors open at 9 p.m., and the show costs $3.

Art: The fifth annual Lickskillet Artists Market and Festival on Saturday, Oct. 25 from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. at the Lyndon House Arts Center presents a full day of artist demonstrations, book signings, food vendors, house tours, face painting and other activities.

Joined by Neal Casal of Ryan Adams and the Cardinals and the Hard Working Americans on guitar, Black Crowesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Adam MacDougall on keys, Mark Dutton on bass and George Sluppick of Mofro on drums, Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest venture is loaded with talent. The CRBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest album, Phosphorescent Harvest, which dropped this past spring, bucks the incessant noodling found on a lot of similar records yet still manages to offer loosened-up psychedelic workouts worth any jam fanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s while.

Mahayla, Dead Neighbors, Scooterbabe, Minor Wiley

Flicker Theatre & Bar ¡ 9 p.m. ¡ $5 Mahayla frontman Dave Fera has ridden the music industry roller coaster since the mid-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s, when his Richmond, VA-based band The Seymores got in on the alt-rock bubble just before it burst. Now based in New Orleans, Fera has fronted Mahayla since 1999, though the band has endured lineup shifts and a period of inactivity in the early aughts.

The group is back with a solid LP called Electricspaceagesweet­ heartâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a collection of high-energy, pop-focused rock tunes with a few true gems, like the ridiculously catchy â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good Old Daysâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;and, seemingly, a new lease on life in the biz.

Fera and company swing through Athens Thursday, where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll appear on a bill stacked with promising local talent. [Gabe Vodicka] FILM | Friday, Oct. 24 & Saturday, Oct. 25

Gonzoriffic Underground Movie Show

CinĂŠ ¡ 12 a.m. ¡ $5 Committed to creating empowering roles for women in underground cinema, the fiercely independent collective Gonzoriffic works outside of the standard industry to create films that are equal parts humor and gore and unapologetically feminist in their approach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The world of film, both Hollywood and indie, is still very much a boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; club,â&#x20AC;? says co-founder Andrew Shearer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a male with a camera, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in a position of privilege, and

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve chosen to use that privilege to do what I saw Riot Grrrl do with music when I was a teenager.â&#x20AC;? Finding kindred spirits among the performers of Effieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club Follies, Gonzoriffic entered a creative partnership with the body-positive, sex-positive burlesque troupe around Halloween of 2011, and has since cast many members for roles. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lineup of a dozen short films marks Gonzorifficâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10-year anniversary, and a screening of the no-budget campfest PsychoVixens will commemorate the collectiveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very first local screening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got psychodramas, talking pizzas, spider-eating, reanimated dancers, ghosts with jumper cables, foul-mouthed fairies, horses in lingerie, real estate agents humping furniture and Leonardo DaVinci in space,â&#x20AC;? says Shearer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Craziest of all is probably Shearer Terror, a movie shot by my 17-month-old daughter. My dad told me to always give her the camera even if she just wants to drool on it. She did that, but shot some really creepy footage in the process.â&#x20AC;?

Your Handsome Captain

Athens Community Theatre ¡ 8 p.m. & 2 p.m. ¡ $5 Local actor Sean Polite is Wilmot in this one-man play by Caribbean author Simone Swartz-Bart about a Haitian migrant worker on the island of Guadeloupe, whose tenuous link to his wife, Marie-Ange, is maintained by the exchange of cassette tapes, through which their poignant story is recounted. Freda Scott Giles directs, and Jennifer Lattimore provides the voice of MarieAnge, while Haitian and Guadeloupian music add texture to the play.

This is a Town & Gown Second Stage production with showtimes Sean Polite at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m.

Hurray For the Riff Raff, Alanna Royale

Georgia Theatre ¡ 8 p.m. ¡ $15 Alynda Lee Segarra grew up in New York and is now based in New Orleans, and you can hear aspects of both cultures in the music she makes as Hurray For the Riff Raff, an irresistible blend of heartfelt folk, Crescent City country and wizened Americana. Segarraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distinct and powerful voice and knack for traditionalist songwriting have earned her project plenty of time in the spotlight of late; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve performed on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conanâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lettermanâ&#x20AC;? and continue to pack out venues across the land. Look for Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show at the Georgia Theatre to be similarly well attended by fans eager to hear the Riff Raff gospel. [GV]

How can you cope once you are involved with a controlling partner? Call Project Safe for help.

Our hotline is confidential, and counseling is free.

Get your life back. Get help.
