The election was a disappointment of the kind I have lived with most of my life in Georgia. I grew up in a segregated state where the only issue that mattered was keeping the Negro in his place. The Democrats knew how to do that, and they ruled the state with the same kind of majorities the Republicans enjoy today for the same reasons. In fact, they’re the same people. Only the label has changed, certainly not the politics. What was the issue this time? Obama. That was all they had to say. Obama, Obama, Obama. We all know what that means, don’t we? Georgia will never get away from race as the determining issue, and one of these days it will cut the other way, sometime in that far-off future when African Americans and Latinos gain a majority and actually turn out and vote. Meanwhile, the white Republicans are doing everything they can—just like the white Democrats did—to manipulate the voting rolls and the districting and postpone that future as long as possible. The scariest thing about the election is that now we’re not only a blue dot in a red state but in a red nation. The same kinds of people who control our state legislature now control our national legislature, with only that same Obama standing between them and the dismantling of our fledgling health insurance program and our scant protections for the environment, personal liberties, economic justice, education and public safety. So much of that is beyond our control locally, but we can at least assert ourselves here to address the problems that beset us, that we can do something about through our local government. We do not have to succumb to gridlock and partisan bickering (we’re non-partisan). We do have to start doing more to alleviate poverty, shore up our transportation system, support our schools, get the university even more involved in local partnerships, hammer out a plan for how we want our city to evolve, protect our neighborhoods, preserve our environment and do everything we can to enhance the climate for locally owned businesses. All this takes is local leadership, and we’ve got plenty of people in our local government with the experience and dedication to make Athens an even better place to live for everybody, no matter what is happening in Washington. OK, I’m off the track (as usual). Here comes Cobb!

I’m sitting here in the kitchen Sunday morning like a handcar on a siding waiting for the Crescent to roar by. The eminent Southern historian James C. Cobb is working on his Cobbloviate column about the late election, which you can read on p. 9, but I haven’t seen yet. What can I write that he won’t say with far more pith and moment? Such is journalism. For starters, the infamous Pete’s Cheat Sheet™, occasionally found in this column, recommended an all-Democratic vote this time around, and every Democrat lost the statewide election. One hundred percent for Pete! On the other hand, every Democrat on the ballot got more than 60 percent of the vote here in Athens-Clarke County, confirming that the blue dot still glows here in spite of all the Republican legislature has done to herd local Democrats, black and white, into ghetto districts, where we are forced to fight among ourselves in local elections. Athens-Clarke County still votes Democratic, a small consolation in the face of the red tide that inundates the state. Still, we are an irritant and an embarrassment. Do not be surprised to see the zealots in the legislature finally end our Democratic vote by putting Athens-Clarke back together with Oconee—to the great dismay of both counties.

Only about six percent of voters who Almost one million voted early, and 33 percent of them were African American—a figure that would put Carter and Nunn over the top, if it held up on Election Day. And then Lucy pulled the football away again. There were signs of a Republican landslide in the election’s closing days. One of the final polls, by Landmark Communications, showed Deal and Perdue breaking the magic 50 percent barrier. That same poll showed Democrats winning just 21–22 percent of the white vote. (The rule of thumb in Georgia is that Democrats need 30 percent of the electorate to be African American plus 30 percent of the white vote to win.) Hardly anyone even considered the notion that white people could get any more Republican, but somehow, they did. Exit polls showed that just 23 percent of white voters supported Carter and Nunn, down from 26 percent voting Democratic in 2010. Only 29 percent of voters were African American—less than This expression sums up how Athens Democrats felt when they found out Jody Hice won. what Democrats needed and only one point higher than four years ago.

used to ensure minority representation. Say goodbye to our lone remaining Democratic House district. How many ways will Republicans slice and dice Athens next time? The Hiceman Cometh: Speaking of slicing and dicing districts, I was shocked at how many people were shocked that the walking “Daily Show” segment known as Jody Hice won the 10th Congressional District race. Of course he won. Any Republican would be a lock to trounce any Democrat by 30 points or more. You could’ve written the results down in ink months ago. It did not help, however, that Democrat Ken Dious ran a lackluster campaign (and I use the word “campaign” generously). Some have blamed Hice’s victory on gerrymandering, which is not true. The 10th is not gerrymandered in the least. It just so happens that Athens does not have enough Democrats to overcome the legions of Republicans who live in surrounding counties. And as I mentioned earlier, most Republicans vote for Republicans no matter what, just as most Democrats are not going to vote for a Republican if they deem the Democratic candidate to be too liberal. The only way for Athens to elect a Democrat to Congress is to draw a pterodactyl-shaped district that connects Athens, Augusta and Savannah, which is what Democrats did in 2002, when they were still in power. Now that was gerrymandering. Republicans redrew the 12th District twice in an effort to unseat U.S. Rep. John Barrow, first removing his hometown of Athens, forcing him to move to Savannah, and then taking Savannah away, too. It finally worked this year— Barrow lost to Republican Rick Allen, and now there are zero white Democrats from the Deep South in Congress. Looking Ahead: As attractive a candidate as Carter is, I’m not sure he did well enough to warrant a second shot at the governor’s mansion. If he runs, and most insiders expect him to, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed has to be considered the frontrunner for the nomination. Reed angered many Democrats by refusing to lift a finger to help Carter, sparking a feud with party chairman Dubose Porter, so this could get ugly. (Of course, it made no difference in the end, as Reed worked hard for Nunn, and her results were the same as Carter’s.) If Barrow gets the itch, he could be a factor, too. On the Republican side, Secretary of State (and Athenian) Brian Kemp has positioned himself well for a promotion, drawing applause from the GOP base for fighting to keep voters registered by Democrats off the rolls. Conservative activists are mad at Attorney General Sam Olens for defending a citizen journalist who was forcibly removed from a campaign rally for

videotaping it, which could hinder his chances. Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle spent $2.6 million running upbeat ads in order to get‌ exactly the same number of votes as the other Republican incumbents, which does not bode well for him. Johnny Isakson is unbeatable, so let’s not even bother talking about the 2016 Senate race.

Special Ed: When I was in elementary school, I used to get in trouble all the time. It turns out, I was just bored. Once I was put into more challenging classes, I stopped acting out. I say this not to brag about my Tony Stark-level intellect, but to raise the point that I might not have been so lucky if I was a different color. How the Clarke County School District deals with minority students who have “behavioral problems� was a major topic of discussion during a Federation of Neighborhoods forum on public schools Monday, Nov. 3. Lemuel “Life the Griot� LaRoche, who runs a chess program for underprivileged kids, spoke about “the ghosts of Athens,� like a ninth-grade girl who was expelled for fighting, or a boy who was bullied because his family couldn’t afford soap. They’re very intelligent kids, he said, but they end up in special education rather than gifted classes, which makes it harder to get a job after graduation, if they don’t end up getting so frustrated they drop out. A woman who moved here from Chicago a year ago told the panel that her son’s behavioral issues stemmed from the fact that his new school is covering material he’s already learned. “He was going to be labeled a bad child because he was bored,� she said, adding that she feels teachers look down on her because she lives in Rocksprings. Fred Smith—a by-the-bootstraps success story who rose from public housing to a successful career at the Department of Labor—said teachers tried to tag his son with the same label. “My child, they attempted to label him, but we intervened,� Smith said. “A lot of parents don’t know how to fight, how to intervene.� His son went on to graduate from Harvard and from Stanford law school. Hilsman Middle School principal Selena Blankenship said that CCSD has changed its approach to tackling behavioral issues, evaluating them using a tiered approach. “When we see a student struggling, we meet about that student, think about what we can do to help him or her, then we put those interventions into place in the classroom,� she said.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ NOVEMBER 12, 2014

This was an election for people who enjoy watching reruns on TV. I’ll admit that I am one of those people. If I really like something the first time around, I’ll watch it a second time when it is broadcast again. So it is with Georgia’s voters. Despite the speculation about changing demographics that might make the state more politically competitive, last week’s election turned out to be basically a rerun of the 2010 election. Republicans swept every statewide office, maintained their control of the Legislature, and retained a U.S. Senate seat. Gov. Nathan Deal won a second term, this time over Jason Carter, and David Perdue defeated Michelle Nunn to replace Saxby Chambliss in the Senate. The polls had indicated closer contests, with runoffs projected in one or both of the races for governor and the Senate. The Democrats raised impressive amounts of money for those races and party activists worked hard to register more minority voters. With Carter and Nunn at the top of the ticket, Democrats thought they had found two attractive candidates who would energize the voters. They did, but they turned out to be Republican voters. In Georgia, as in the rest of the nation, conservatives turned out in droves to express their dislike of President Barack Obama. Deal and Perdue were only too happy to link an unpopular president with their opponents at every opportunity, whether in debates or attack ads. Perdue criticized Nunn relentlessly as someone who would be a “rubber stamp� for Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid if she were elected, a strategy that proved to be highly effective. In his debates with Nunn, Perdue probably uttered the names Obama and Reid more often than he said Nunn’s name. “You’re running against me, David,� Nunn reminded him at one point. While Nunn seemed to gain some traction by emphasizing Perdue’s record of outsourcing

jobs to overseas countries during his career as a corporate executive, in the end the charges didn’t do much damage. Deal pounded away at Carter for his lack of experience as an elected official— Carter served just four years in the state Senate—and mocked Carter’s support of Medicaid expansion by calling it “Cartercare,� a reminder to voters of the president and Obamacare. The governor easily withstood Carter’s criticisms of Republicans for the massive reductions in state formula funding to public school systems over the past decade. The GOP tactics worked, as undecided voters swung to the Republicans in the final days of the campaign. While many of the late polls showed Perdue and Deal running just a few points ahead of their opponents, both of them won easily by margins of about 53-45 percent. For all the talk about the state’s increases in black and Latino residents, the results showed that Georgia is still a ruby-red state. On the day after the election, Deal held a media briefing in his capitol office to answer reporters’ questions. Deal’s campaign against Carter often went beyond political differences and took on a bitterly personal nature. It seemed that these were two politicians who really disliked each other. After the votes were in, however, Deal was a little more gracious about his vanquished opponent. He recounted the concession call he received from Carter on election night: “He simply congratulated me on the win and we parted as friends. “He obviously has a bright political future,� Deal said. “He may have been a little ahead of himself in this election cycle.� It was a classic example of a status quo election, like a TV rerun—familiar and comfortable.

Safeguarding History UGA Embarks on a Preservation Master Plan

T

he University of Georgia has a mixed record on preserving what is arguably the oldest public college campus in the country. And with newer modernist buildings now aging into historic status, pressure on the university to preserve its physical heritage will only increase. UGA has begun taking stock of all its historic buildings and structures in order to create a preservation master plan—a step preservationists have urged it to take for years. The plan will create a matrix for making future decisions about whether certain structures warrant preservation, restoration or rehabilitation. Such a matrix could help the university avoid controversial decisions like tearing down Rutherford Hall, or its aborted attempt to fill in Depression-era Legion Pool. “We are very pleased the university is taking this step,” says Amy Kissane, executive director of the Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation. The College of Environment and Design’s Center for Community Design and Preservation, and the Master of Historic Preservation Program will participate in this plan, which is being coordinated by the Office of University Architects. The two-year plan calls for gathering data on buildings—currently underway—then a “guiding principles” workshop that will include input from the public, as well as from the architectural consulting firm Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. The workshop is set for sometime next spring. Members of the steering group appointed by UGA President Jere Morehead will oversee this entire process. Danny Sniff, associate vice president for facilities planning at UGA, said that, under Morehead, the university’s preservation effort has

Preservation Definitions  Restoration: Returning a building to the way it looked in a previous era.  Rehabilitation: Bringing a historic building up to date for modern uses.  Reconstruction: Something new that’s exactly like a historic building.

shifted to more faculty governance, with a student-oriented mission. “I think the track record on this campus is incredible,” College of Environment and Design professor and downtown Athens master plan guru Jack Crowley says. “For all the griping we had about whacking a single building, we’ve renovated hundreds of thousands of square feet of historic structures. I think it’s a great opportunity for the students in the Masters of Historic Preservation program to immerse themselves in this. I immerse my students in planning in the downtown master plan.” At a public meeting about the preservation plan last week at the Athens Chamber of Commerce, Sniff highlighted UGA’s “good examples” of preservation that include Founder’s Garden and Demosthenian Hall—the latter being one of the oldest buildings on campus that’s still in use. Sniff acknowledged that the university is “not free of sin,” noting the decision to demolish Rutherford Hall in 2012. The dormitory had gone through a lot of wear and tear over its 73-year history, and the administration decided that the cost was too high to retrofit it. The new Rutherford’s design was based on the old one, with some modern amenities added. “Everybody still argues about it, but I think most people are pretty happy with the end result,” Crowley says. Kissane is encouraged by the formation of this decisionmaking matrix, but she still wants to see the university make stronger steps, like a guarantee that some buildings will never meet a wrecking ball. “I guess that it’s better than what we have today, but I would really love to see the buildings on campus assessed and at least make a commitment to some buildings,” she says. However, Crowley contends that what will need to be done about these buildings will change over time. “[To] guarantee what you’re going to do today versus what you’re going to do 25 years from now, it’s risky if you’re in the management business,” he says, adding that if he were on the committee, making specific commitments to buildings is something he would try to avoid. Daniel Nadenicek, dean of the College of Environment and Design and chairman of the steering group, says it’s too early

to say which buildings will stay or go, and the focus is on creating a method for making decisions that will be “clear and transparent,” which will include engaging the public. “I think where there have been problems is the lack of this preservation plan that has that decision-making matrix associated with it,” he says. After Rutherford Hall was torn down, Kissane says she was concerned at the time that the parts of UGA’s South Campus were considered second rate to North Campus. Kissane says the “most important thing” about the plan is the opportunity for the local community and larger university community to participate in the reassessment of “what we view as historic on the campus.” The next step will be a workshop in the spring of 2015 where all the participants in the master plan can present their findings and begin establishing a set of guiding principles for the future of UGA’s historic structures. “I believe this plan is going to succeed, because—while I’m sure there will still be some controversies in the future—for the most part it gets everybody to the same table in terms of being able to discuss the pluses and minuses of certain actions,” Nadenicek said. “What we want to do is pull it away from confrontation to a real, rational discussion about what should happen, based on the information that we’re gathering.” David Schick news@flagpole.com

oconee observations Shadow Governments Regina Quick, who represents parts of Clarke and Oconee counties in the Georgia House of Representatives, plans to introduce legislation that would force independent governmental authorities in the state to be more transparent. Quick refers to these groups as “shadow governments” and said she wants the legislation to specify that these bodies, if they already are spending public money on a website, must post agendas, minutes, contact information for members and core documents on those sites. Oconee County’s Industrial Development Authority is the most prominent and active of the county’s development authorities, and it does post the minutes of meetings but not the agendas, contact information or core documents on the county’s web site. Neither do Athens-Clarke County’s multiple development authorities. Both counties also are members of two joint development authorities with websites that contain almost no information about them. Quick told a meeting of Oconee County Republicans on Oct. 16 of her plan to have drafted and to introduce in January legislation regarding the operation of development authorities. She said in a telephone interview that her goal is to have information available to the public about the authorities so citizens don’t have to file open records requests to learn about what the groups are doing. “Some people cannot Regina Quick even figure out when these groups meet,” she said. “Yet they are discussing very important matters. There needs to be more transparency.” Quick said she wants her legislation to cover all authorities or entities that deal with economic incentives or tax abatements. Such incentives or abatements affect the tax base in a city or county and the taxes people pay, Quick said. She wants the legislation to force the groups to accept citizen input as well as provide information to the public. These groups “need to hear” from the citizens, she said. Quick is a member of the Athens Downtown Development Authority, and she said she knows first-hand of the issues of transparency. Rick Waller, chair of the Oconee County’s Industrial Development Authority, denied my request at the end of the authority’s meeting on Oct. 13 for a copy of a document he had circulated to that group at that meeting. I had to file an open records request to get that copy. Quick told me when I talked to her on the 19th that she was unaware of the incident, but she said this was the kind of issue her legislation will be designed to address. She said she has had success with the Athens Downtown Development Authority in making information available to the public. Oconee County’s Industrial Development Authority has played a very prominent role in recent years, purchasing land for the Caterpillar plant, selling land to a biopharmaceutical company at the business park it operates and conducting a study of zoning

in the county. Along with the Athens-Clarke County IDA, it has provided a tax abatement to Caterpillar as part of the incentive package to bring the plant to the area. The IDA often goes into executive session, as is allowed by law under restricted circumstances. In May, Oconee County Attorney Daniel Haygood sent that group—and other citizens bodies in the county—a memo stating their obligations to meet the state’s open meetings and open records laws. In that memorandum Haygood wrote, “I would prefer that legal counsel be present at any executive session due to the potential for making mistakes and the personal liability which might result from such a mistake. Additionally, an improper executive session

ACC’s development authority has been active recently as well, granting property tax abatements for a new Kroger on Highway 29. It also voted down a similar incentives package for a Hyatt Place hotel next-door to the Classic Center after citizens, including Quick, questioned whether the incentives were necessary and objected to giving Hyatt a competitive leg up over existing hotels. Both counties have been members for many years of what was called the Joint Bioscience Development Authority, focused on development along Highway 316. Historically, it has been relatively inactive. That authority has changed its name to the Innovation Corridor Joint Development Authority to reflect a new, broader emphasis.

Automatic for the Steeple For Nuçi’s Space, It’s Not Just About Preservation

T

owering over a nondescript Oconee Street parking lot on the edge of downtown, the red brick steeple is the sole remnant of St. Mary’s Episcopal Church. Constructed in 1869 as a house of worship, after it was deconsecrated, the building housed a Salvation Army outpost and an Athens museum, among other tenants, before being converted into apartments in the late 1960s. The church’s role in Athens music history is well documented: The site of R.E.M.’s first-ever show in April 1980—at the time, the group was called Twisted Kites—it also functioned during that creatively fertile era as the home of three of the band’s four members. The building was demolished in 1990 and replaced by condominiums. The severed tower remained, a symbol of the location’s cultural significance, though it has fallen into disrepair over the last decade and was briefly threatened with demolition in 2011. Last October, the Steeplechase Condominium Association agreed instead to hand the St. Mary’s steeple over to Nuçi’s Space, the adjacent musicians’ health and resource center. Backed by a sizable donation from a California couple, Nuçi’s Space Executive Director Bob Sleppy asked a construction firm well versed in historic preservation to assess whether it could be saved. An ivy-damaged wall was removed in order to help stabilize the spire, though it was found to be in fair structural condition. Last week, after months of quiet planning, and with the participation of locally bred, globally recognized artists like R.E.M., The B-52’s, Widespread Panic, Drive-By Truckers and Neutral Milk Hotel, Nuçi’s Space launched an online crowdfunding campaign, titled

The next challenge is maintaining the initial enthusiasm until the Dec. 13 deadline. Tissenbaum notes that, though money from beyond our borders has rolled steadily in, local donations have thus far been few and far between, something he hopes to remedy by reaching out to Athenians who have been directly affected by the center. “Athens is a very homemade kind of place,” says Tissenbaum. “The music community is very tight-knit. If you need somebody to play guitar on your record, they’ll do that. If you need somebody to talk to, they’ll do that. If you’re Nuçi’s Space, and you reach out and say, ‘We’ve been helping you, and now we need your help,’ everyone comes running. That is very well reflected in this campaign, and I think that’s what makes Athens magic.” Gabe Vodicka music@flagpole.com

Tele Novella Breaks Out of The Lone Star State

T

here is often a wide gulf between the perception of a place and the reality of living there. Austin, TX has a reputation as a weird, sleepy pocket of creativity, home to bizarre musicians like Butthole Surfers and Daniel Johnston. Richard Linklater’s slice-of-life portrait of the city in the 1991 film Slacker still resonates, but present-day Austin’s resemblance to Linklater’s laconic burg is fading rapidly. Nowadays, the city routinely pops up in publications like Forbes and Bloomberg Businessweek as a top American boom town. As the population swells, as tech companies proliferate, as the behemoth South by Southwest festival grows even more unwieldy, the face of the city is, inevitably, changing. When Amanda Ribbons of Tele Novella moved to Austin five years ago, she found an environment that differed greatly from that of Sacramento, CA, where she had been living. Speaking to Flagpole by phone, Ribbons describes having to adjust to the “competitive arts and music scene” in her new town. “Some people think that Austin is full of all these slackers that don’t do anything,” she says, “but I don’t think you’re able to pigeonhole Austin like that anymore.” The heightened level of intensity helped Ribbons, then heading the group Agent Ribbons, to better handle the business aspect of her music. “I became a lot more focused on what I need to do when I moved here,” she explains. But the boom-town atmosphere took its toll. “[It] can be really strange and difficult, especially when you’re trying to create a home out of a place and it changes every year.” After Agent Ribbons disbanded, Ribbons formed Tele Novella with bassist Jason Chronis and drummer Matt Simon of the bands Voxtrot and Belaire, both Austin natives; keyboardist and vocalist Sarah La Puerta joined later on. The group released its debut EP, Cosmic Dial Tone, last March on Lolipop Records. If the EP’s six tracks are any indication, however much Austin may be changing, the quality of music coming out of the city is undiminished. The EP’s second track, “Trouble in Paradise,” slinks seductively along, spring reverb coming off Ribbons’ guitar like sparks from a busted street light. The lyrics exude a cool menace, with a few deliberate images setting a dark scene. Ribbons sings, “Birds cry, eyes open wide/ Spiders heavy with their poison/ I’ve

come from the wilder side/ Bringing trouble to paradise.” Elsewhere, on “Don’t Be a Stranger,” tight harmonies and intricate melodies recall the baroque pop of Belle and Sebastian circa Dear Catastrophe Waitress, or the tube-amp cool of Holly Golightly. Chronis wrote the music for “Trouble in Paradise;” his role also extends to arrangements on Ribbons’ songs. On the whole, Ribbons says, the band’s approach to songwriting is fluid. “Sometimes I’ll show [Chronis] a song, and he’ll manage the band closely; but other times everyone will kind of just figure out their own thing.” Sharing compositional duties is a welcome change from Agent Ribbons, where, “I did manage every aspect of the music and everything pretty much did ride on me,” Ribbons says. “Now, I have the luxury of having someone who’s better at that part of it than I am.” This collaborative approach might explain the cohesive feel of Cosmic Dial Tone; recorded just three months after the band formed, the EP sounds surprisingly mature. Ribbons speaks of the close attention the band pays to atmosphere, citing as inspiration the work of filmmakers like Maya Deren and Kenneth Anger. As part of her process, Ribbons describes thinking about artists she admires. “I think about who they are, or how they might have dressed, or how they might have decorated their room.” After wrapping up a tour this fall, Tele Novella will head back into the studio in February to record a first full-length. The challenge for Ribbons and her bandmates now is to build momentum and notoriety around the country, not just in Austin. “Despite the fact that it’s the live-music capital of the world,” Robbins says, “the music industry is not here.” Playing sets at South by Southwest can help, she adds, “but for the rest of the year, you should probably go somewhere else and just be on the road as much as possible, which is what we’re trying to do.” Marshall Yarbrough music@flagpole.com

Stock Up for Winter: Multi-instrumentalist/ experimentalist Killick managed to sneak out two huge collections of music this past month. The first, This Is What I Was Doing Between 3:15pm And 7:15pm EST On Friday, October 10th, 2014, was recorded during exactly that time at The Glow Recording Studio. The session was arranged specifically to accommodate 18 recordings with his new guitar, specially built by luthier Rick Toone. Nicknamed “The Walrus,” this instrument’s neck can be quickly swapped out, and the record features nine tracks with a fretted neck and nine with a fretless neck. The second release is titled Pan Scraper/Nylon Hong Kong, and features Cass Bird

The Screen, the Blinding Light: Of all the footage compiled in the upcoming REMTV box set, the six-DVD collection of broadcasts featuring R.E.M. appearing on several of the many channels now owned by MTV, the most special one is their Oct. 30, 1983 appearance on Nickelodeon’s teen talk show, “Livewire.” Why? Because, 1: It was hosted by Georgia native and UGA graduate Fred Newman; 2: It was a down-to-earth yet sophisticated show that didn’t talk down to its audience; and 3: Because I can finally show people a nice, clean copy of this and say, “Look! I told you this happened!” Fans lucky enough to have grabbed tickets can celebrate its release with a screening of the documentary R.E.M. by MTV Sunday, Nov. 23 at Ciné. Hosted by athensmusic. net, this screening is in the spirit of all the pre-release parties that website has hosted for R.E.M. over the years. To this end, it’s also a benefit for Community Connection of Northeast Georgia and Family Connection– Communities In Schools of Athens. There are three soldR.E.M. out screenings (3:30 p.m., 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.), the first screening will feature a raffle of R.E.M. stuff and limited-edition event T-shirts will be sold. Brick After Brick: Related to the above item is the fundraising effort by Nuçi’s Space to fully restore the steeple of the demolished St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, colloquially known as the R.E.M. church, because the band played its first gig there in 1980. The original church was built by and for mill workers in the Potterytown area near the river and dedicated on Apr. 9, 1871. The steeple has been stabilized but needs $60,600 to be fully restored. The total goal of the effort is $250,000, which includes the cost of restoration, Camp Amped scholarships, subsidized counseling and psychiatric appointments, discounted eye appointments and other services Nuçi’s Space provides. All funds raised above this goal are to be the seed money for a reserve fund earmarked specifically for Nuçi’s Space services; none are allotted for administrative costs. The campaign runs until Dec. 13. For more info, see p. 11.

Killick playing his well-known h’arpeggione, as well as electric guitar, the aforementioned Walrus, his “Big Red” harp guitar and acoustic guitar. Take your time and dig each slowly, ideally with headphones, at killick.bandcamp. com. Killick plays live Friday, Nov. 14 at Flicker with his combo Crazy Hoarse, who share the bill this night with Gumshoe and The Taxicab Verses. Welcome Home: Although she only lived here a handful of years, songwriter Cara Beth Satalino made her mark early and often with her band Witches and with her solo work. Operating under the name Outer Spaces, the now-Baltimore, MD-based Satalino will play Athens on Thursday, Nov. 13 at Hi-Lo Lounge. She’s got an excellent new EP out now named Garbage Beach to stream via outerspaces. bandcamp.com, and will share the bill this night with El Hollín, Deep State and Moths. So, yeah, the whole thing is pretty darn unimpeachable. Gordon Lamb threatsandpromises@flagpole.com

Sex is also flirted with Interstellar and then discarded in Cave’s conversation with British psychoanalyst Darian Leader. Instead, the filmmakers are more concerned with recreating Cave’s life in Brighton, England, in all its mundane, mythic and artistic details: one day in the life of an artist. We observe Cave’s waking moments, watch him drive from appointment to appointment, work in his study, rehearse with his band the Bad Seeds in the studio during the recording of his last album Push the Sky Away and Well, honey, it was either go to space or build a baseball field. drive around by himself or with a few friends (actor Ray Winstone, longtime co-colof humanity, and McConaughey and Jessica laborator/ex-bandmate Blixa Bargeld and pop Chastain, as Cooper’s grown-up daughter, star Kylie Minogue), who suddenly appear like Murph, certainly ensure these scenes achieve ghosts and disappear just as quickly. Which their emotional impact. is appropriate, considering that Cave, in his Interstellar probably will not have the legs voice-over, talks eloquently and perceptively of Nolan’s last non-Batman film, the superior about memory and how it relates to his life Inception, but it ought to be seen, criticized and work. “Memory is what we are,� Cave says. and discussed at length. Not many blockbust“The sole reason to be alive is your memory.� ers deserve such praise. [Drew Wheeler] The best moments and the most revelatory are the quieter ones. Forsyth and Pollard BIG HERO 6 (PG) Kind of based on a Marvel recreate Cave going through his archives and property, Big Hero 6 is the origin story of what sharing a lunch of fried eels at the house of bandmate Warren Ellis. Ellis giddily gossips about a terrifying encounter with the late Nina Simone and watching an old Jerry Lee Lewis still raising hell on stage. At the archives, Cave looks at old schoolboy pictures and stills of a volatile performance by his old band The Birthday Party. Both are intimate moments, scraping away the mythic artifice of Cave’s work and simply showing a middle-aged rocker being human and reflecting on what that exactly means. [Derek Hill] INTERSTELLAR (R) Christopher Nolan has always been an ambitious filmmaker. From his debut, Following, to Memento to his Dark Knight trilogy, he has always elevated what would otherwise be mere genre flicks in the hands of lesser auteurs. Interstellar has ambition in spades and succeeds for the most part. But at near three hours in length, Nolan just cannot pull his 2014: A Space Odyssey completely together. Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), a pilot turned farmer, joins a space mission to save humanity, whose days on an increasingly dusty Earth are numbered. Professor Brand (Michael Caine) has discovered a wormhole that will allow man to travel farther afield than ever before. Perhaps the planetary answer to our dilemma exists light years away. All Coop, Brand’s daughter (Anne Hathaway) and a couple of other scientists (Wes Bentley and David Gyosi) have to do is find the planet and get back before everyone dies. Sounds simple enough. Nolan and his sibling/constant collaborator, Jonathan, have built a sturdy space vehicle that orbits somewhere between an episode of Fox’s “Cosmos� reboot and Kubrick’s 2001. The film impresses more as science than as fiction and, early on, remains too earthbound. Once the film takes off, it becomes an extremely intense outer space adventure. We’re

could potentially be a huge new Disney franchise (especially considering The Incredibles 2 seems far from becoming a reality). Hiro Hamada (v. Ryan Potter) is a robotics genius slumming in back alley botfights. His brother, Tadashi (v. Daniel Henney), invites Hiro to visit his university, a trip which reignites the younger genius’ robotic fires (though it’s questionable how much formal education this kid needs as far as building robots goes; he does just fine in his own garage). But as with many superheroes, tragedy strikes, leading Hiro on a mission of vengeful justice with his brother’s medical bot, Baymax (v. Scott Adsit, aka Pete from “30 Rock�), and his brother’s pals—Go Go (v. Jamie Chung), Wasabi (v. Damon Wayans Jr.), Honey Lemon (v. Genesis Rodriguez) and Fred (v. T.J. Miller). Many live-action superhero movies lack the charm and general geniality of Big Hero 6. This family film is fun, sweet and exciting, like a mini-Avengers. (It makes me yearn for a big-screen adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan’s Runaways.) Without a big Pixar release to dominate the conversation, 2014 has really shaped up to be a dogfight for end of-the-year animated acclaim. Big Hero 6 might end up just outside a conversation that should remain dominated by The LEGO Movie, but these new superheroes leave as positive a first impression as this past summer’s dragon riders. The biggest winners when an animated feature as good as Big Hero 6 opens are the parents, who don’t have to sit through another dreadful children’s movie. [DW]

Emilio Pucci in America Celebrating the Prince of Prints’ 100th Year

N

icknamed “The Prince of Prints,� Italian designer Emilio Pucci is best remembered for swirling, stream-ofconsciousness patterns of brilliantly colored geometric shapes. Following a period marked by dull shades and heavy fabrics, his fun and flirty approach to design often clashed Mediterranean-inspired colors like turquoise, ultramarine and sea green against fuchsia, orange and lime. Widely emulated by other designers, his psychedelic palettes simultaneously channeled the spirit of the 1950s–70s and helped define the culture. The fashion exhibition “Emilio Pucci in America,� currently on view at the Georgia Museum of Art, highlights the designer’s role in the rise of fashion following World War II.

eye of famed photographer Toni Frissell on the slopes of Zermatt, Switzerland. Frissell showed the images to Harper’s Baazar editor Diana Vreeland, who then commissioned Pucci to create a small U.S. collection, setting his career as a fashion designer into motion. Pucci’s financial independence gave him free reign over materializing his ideas, and he soon opened his first haute couture boutique on the Isle of Capri—home of the new Capri pants. Blending the casual comfort of sportswear with eclectic patterns, his clothing reflected a lighthearted lifestyle of leisure and luxury that resonated with America’s desire for high-end yet ready-to-wear fashion. Pucci’s designs covered everything from handbags and accessories to lingerie and swimwear, and his printed silk dresses became immensely

Braniff hostess wearing a pink Pucci uniform and a bubble helmet standing in front of a Concorde airplane at the Paris Airshow, 1967. and other collaborations between Pucci and American manufacturers, the show illustrates how his time spent in the U.S.—which began with enrollment at UGA—inspired designs that revolutionized the world of fashion. Perhaps the antithesis of the rags-to-riches story, Marchese Emilio Pucci di Barsento was born in Naples in 1914 into an aristocratic family whose lineage dates back to 13th-Century Florence. The privilege and leisure time of his youth presented a rare opportunity to pursue a vast array of interests and hobbies, and though design was not initially among those, he became a master sportsman. Following two years at the University of Milan, Pucci attended UGA to study agriculture, likely sent by his father to pick up knowledge that could be applied to the family’s Tuscan agribusiness interests. After a year in Athens, he transferred to Reed College in Portland, OR, where he received a scholarship in exchange for forming and coaching the school’s first ski team. Designing the team’s uniforms—his first foray into fashion—introduced him to mass production and connected him to skiwear manufacturer White Stag. Pucci returned to Italy in 1937 at the dawn of World War II and enlisted in the air force, eventually rising to the rank of captain. His moment of discovery as a designer came a decade later during a period of military leave, when his striking skiwear caught the

popular once jet-setters realized that their featherweight, wrinkle-free quality made them perfect for rolling into suitcases. Though he was Italian, many of Pucci’s accomplishments feel distinctly American, particularly his designs for Braniff International Airways and NASA. In 1965, Pucci created his first line of colorful, futuristic uniforms for the Braniff’s flight attendants, modeled at GMOA by a series of Barbie dolls. These avant-garde ensembles revolved around individual components—reversible coats, turtlenecks, crop jackets and culottes—that could be layered or removed in response to weather conditions, and even included a “bubble helmet� to protect hair from rain and wind. In 1971, David Scott and his fellow astronauts, exhausted from reviewing over 500 designs, invited Pucci to design the emblem for the Apollo XV lunar mission, extending his influence to the moon. Associated events for “Emilio Pucci in America� include a tour led by independent curator Mary Koon on Wednesday, Dec. 3 and a holiday-themed Family Day on Saturday, Dec. 13. “Get Your Pucci On,� an after-party for the gala fundraiser Elegant Salute on Saturday, Jan. 31, will feature a fashion show organized by Agora Vintage with music by DJs Immuzikation and Z-Dog.

Gameday Eats

+OREAN ""1 ,OUNGE

Where to Grub for Georgia-Auburn he home football games played in Athens every year are special times, whether you are a fan of our Georgia Bulldogs or not. If you’re not, you see gametime as an opportunity to run to the grocery store, where you will likely be unmolested by football enthusiasts. If you are, you probably have strong feelings about where to set up for tailgating, what hour is appropriate to start drinking (it bears some relationship to the time of the game, but the exact formula varies) and what, exactly, should provide your non-liquid sustenance for the day. Athens restaurants are generally a mess and a half those days. A few years ago, I made the mistake of running downtown to pick up pizza during a Georgia-Auburn night game. Never again, unless I plan on staying there. Culinary pursuits that don’t involve making your eats yourself are generally sidelined.

Back in the day, Poss’ used to have the exclusive right to sell food inside Sanford Stadium, and the fellow now slinging the simple chopped-pork sandwiches grew up doing the same as a kid, helping pack up thousands of sandwiches the night before. You may know Bobby Poss’ voice from his radio ads for Aaron Bonding, which air (or at least used to) during the Georgia game and provide much amusement, and the drive-in restaurant of the same name was a standard on the Atlanta Highway for years. The sandwiches themselves are pretty perfect as far as Georgia BBQ goes. It’s often said that we don’t really have our own regional style, but we do: finely chopped pork, but ideally not wet, stuffed into a soft white hamburger bun and doused with a tomato-vinegar sauce, then wrapped tightly in aluminum foil and kept hot, so the flavors meld and the consistency softens yet further.

That said, there are things you can eat on those days that you can’t get any other time, and it can be worth it, even if you don’t bleed red and black, to venture out of your house and get some. The best place to start off your day early is at The World Famous, on Hull Street in downtown Athens, which usually opens at 8 a.m. for home games and has something different on offer each time. Yes, it’s a townie bar, but there are townies who love football, too. The chalkboard behind the bar has borne a large image of Todd Gurley since the beginning of this season, modified each week to reflect the Bulldogs’ opponent. Owner David Eduardo points out that, so far, most of the bar/restaurant’s traffic on home games has consisted of opposing fans, who seem to find its environment less than intimidating, and it is indeed very civil. If you don’t appreciate Mr. Gurley’s talents, you may yet find yourself in the mood for a burrito of habaneros, pork, beans and egg, either grilled or just wrapped and presented straight up. Both versions, with a spicy little container of sauce, are delicious. One prime example of exclusive gameday grub is the Poss’ Barbecue sandwiches at Marti’s at Midday, on Prince Avenue in Normaltown.

You could eat one of these or, probably, two, after having some dental work done, and although they aren’t as classy as North Carolina-style BBQ, they produce a strong sense of nostalgia and warmth. The sandwiches are $5 each, and you can also get the meat by the pound and extra sauce but no sides. If the tent isn’t up, poke your head inside Marti’s and inquire. For dessert, there’s the Kona Ice truck, which usually parks on Baxter Street, near the dorms, and has a smaller version inside Sanford. It’s not exclusively out on gamedays, but neither does it have a permanent location. It’s a franchised mobile business, which serves up snowcones in a wide variety of flavors. The 10 most popular are available on the side of the truck, for self-serve—meaning you can make yourself a treat that is mostly syrup—but more are inside, from fruity stuff (pineapple, green apple, banana) to weirder choices (wedding cake, cotton candy, “tiger’s blood�). You can get it sans sugar or even sans flavor—there’s a dispenser for dogs at the bottom of the truck. The truck’s other gigs involve charity work, and you can book it for events and follow its activities on Twitter at @Kona_Ice_Athens. Hillary Brown food@flagpole.com

The Hot Sardines Will Powers chickens he grows on the land. “But two years later, we had beef to sell, and it really made a difference on the turnaround of what we were deciding to do.” When Will and Francie began raising cattle, it was something of an experiment. In generations past, the land had been a dairy farm. They learned quickly by way of trial and error, as well as from friendly farmers in the area who were willing to share a little wisdom. With the first hundred head of cattle, he practiced herding them from one portion of their 180 acres of pasture to another. He has perfected this process, developing a system that he now likens to using his land like a person would eat pizza. He keeps the cows in one slice of the pastures at a time and rotates them after they’ve essentially depleted the grass in that area. The cows are limited to those acres (but still given substantial space to roam) by temporary electrified fences that he moves with the herd. This allows each “slice” of grassy pasture to recover as the cows are moved from one section to the next. Will and Francie work tirelessly to make sure that their cows are given the best possible treatment. “I spoil these cows,” Will

“You can’t put them in a pen. They have to go around and eat the bugs in order to get the nutrients to produce the yolks like that.” After years of intensive work and occasional harsh realities alongside daily victories, life at The Pastures of Rose Creek is systematic. Their output is growing. The farm now sells its cattle, eggs and produce not only to restaurants, at the Athens Farmers Market, the Oconee Farmers Market and at their Sunday farm stand, but now they are also offering the option to buy their beef in bulk. Family packs that contains a chuck roast, a sirloin, New York strips, cube steak and ground beef can be reserved via email (pastures1051@gmail. com). For those with less space in their freezers, a smaller pre-selected grouping of their favorite cuts, priced to save bulk shoppers $1 per pound, is also available. “I could have had an easy, carefree life, but this is the bigger picture,” Will says. “This is more than me, this the whole family and everybody involved here. Sometimes you gotta think past yourself. And I get to be outside, so I can’t ask for more than that.”
