Athens Revealed After a couple of drinks at a Twelfth Night party several years ago, I allowed the eminent historian and popular professor Hubert McAlexander to recruit me for a book about Athens history. Hubert wanted me to replicate a photographic spread I had done years ago in the Athens Observer, and that assignment sounded simple enough. Thus did I fall among a hardcore group of local historians, preservationists, documentarians, collectors, researchers, authenticators, renovators, house movers, designers and writers who were on a first-name basis with past Athenians and their structures, talked of them as if they were still here and made you think they just might be.

My photo project morphed into an enormous chapter on Prince Avenue far beyond my ability even to conceive and was taken over by more experienced hands. Meanwhile, in regular meetings of the conspirators, the book increasingly assumed a life of its own, adding chapters as it went.

Now, what came to be known as “Our Book” is finally here.

The Tangible Past in Athens, Georgia is an invaluable smorgasbord of Athens history, a potpourri of memorabilia, as if, once it got started, this book made all these knowledgeable people pull out everything they know about Athens and put it on display in one gigantic yard sale of Attic items. Those conversations around the table at the meetings of the book committee came alive and manifested themselves in print and picture, projecting the riches in those minds onto the page: 656 pages; over 700 (!) photographs, most of which you have never seen; 18 essays in a 9x12 hardcover volume beautifully designed

by Ken Storey, costing $55 plus tax and available in plenty of time for Christmas.

As Hubert’s health forced him to ease back, Charlotte Thomas Marshall took over, bringing to bear skills honed through work on her massive Oconee Hill Cemetery of Athens, Georgia, Vol. 1 and other books and articles about Athens architectural history. Charlotte has remained dedicated to the eventual appearance and success of The Tangible Past, a task that has grown along with the book until she has thrown herself into it day and night.

You may not know your historical players, but these perpetrators make up a local-history dream team. The names on the cover are those of Amy Andrews, Patricia Cooper, Gary Doster, Lee Epting, the late Mary Anne Hodgson, Milton Leathers, Charlotte Thomas Marshall, Hubert McAlexander, Sam Thomas, Mary Bondurant Warren and my own. Solidly behind these, however are so many people like Theresa Flynn and the Hargrett Library’s Steven Brown, who know where the facts are buried.

The book will be available for purchase at four upcoming reading/signing events: “Alumni Night” at the UGA bookstore, 5–7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 21; at the Russell Special Collections Library on campus 4 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 4; then there’s a Junior League reception and signing from 3–5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 7 at the Taylor-Grady House; and the Athens-Clarke County Library’s “Café au Libris” will feature the book at 3 p.m.

Sunday, Dec. 14.

The Tangible Past in Athens, Georgia is also on sale at these locations: ADD Drugs, Appointments at Five, Athens Welcome Center, Aurum Studios, Avid Bookshop, Classic Galleries (Watkinsville), Thomas R. R. Cobb House, Cullen & Company in The Bottleworks, Harry’s BBQ, Heery’s Too, The Olive Basket in the Bottleworks and the UGA Bookstore, among others.

The Tangible Past in Athens, Georgia is not a history of Athens. It is a conversation among people who have made it their business to poke around and find evidence left by those who have preceded us here. This work, this expansive, unending labor of love will thrill you and will put you in touch with our past.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ NOVEMBER 19, 2014

capitol impact Appoint the School Superintendent Early in January, Richard Woods will be sworn in as the duly elected superintendent of state schools. He could very well be the last person ever elected to this statewide constitutional office.

There will be a serious push in the upcoming legislative session to put a constitutional amendment on the 2016 election ballot that would make this an appointed rather than an elected position. It is something that should have happened a long time ago. Some of the former state superintendents have been an embarrassment to the people who elected them. One of them went to prison for stealing federal education funds. Another one made Georgia a national laughingstock by trying to eliminate the theory of evolution from the science curriculum.

This is also an elected office that the state really doesn’t need anymore.

Over the last 15 years, the powers of the state superintendent have been steadily whittled away by the General Assembly. The superintendent is basically an administrator who is compelled to carry out the directives of the governor and the members of the state Board of Education (who are all appointed by the governor).

State Rep. Mike Dudgeon (R-Johns Creek) pointed out that in 38 states, the superintendent is appointed by either the governor or a state board of education, and said it makes sense for Georgia to follow that example. “This is not about who is or is not elected to the position tomorrow, but about good governance,� said Dudgeon, a member of the Forsyth County school board before being elected to the legislature in 2010.

He noted that Georgia voters now elect four different entities or individuals that are all given the responsibility to determine how public education is handled: the local school board, the General Assembly, the governor and the state school superintendent. They sometimes work at cross-purposes. “It’s really

about leadership alignment,� Dudgeon said. “With all those different elected people, it is a little bit difficult to get alignment in leadership.�

The alignment problem is illustrated by the ongoing discussion of the Common Core standards that underlie the state curriculum for K-12 public schools. These standards were championed by former governor Sonny Perdue and were adopted by the state Board of Education in 2010. Gov. Nathan Deal has been generally supportive of the Common Core standards, and when Sen. William Ligon (R-Brunswick) tried to outlaw them, his legislative colleagues rejected his bill.

The governor, the state school board, and legislators are all on board with the Common Core standards. Woods, however, opposed Common Core in his campaign for school superintendent. That’s another strong argument for appointing rather than electing a superintendent.

One approach being considered is for legislators from each congressional district to elect a person from that district who would serve on the state Board of Education. The board would then appoint a state school superintendent. Lawmakers already use this model to pick members of the State Transportation Board, which in turn elects the DOT commissioner. “The legislature is setting ultimate state policy anyway, so the board they’re electing can implement the details of the policy they vote for,� Dudgeon contended There are many details to be worked out on this issue over the next couple of years, and Georgia’s voters may decide they don’t want to give up this elective office, even though few people pay much attention to it. But if local school boards, the governor and the General Assembly are the ones who make education policy, what’s the need to elect a state school superintendent as well?

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ NOVEMBER 19, 2014

(both chambers, Democrats and Republicans) and a president who has let his frustration with them nullify his original uplifting promise of hope and change.

What should be done to correct the situation? Logically, the solution should begin with electing individuals who are willing to work across the aisle, rather than irrationally fomenting discontent. But in this election, the voters in Georgia’s 10th Congressional District did exactly the opposite.

Jody Hice, a fiery hell-and-brimstone preacher and flashy radio talk show host, is our newly minted congressman. On virtually every issue, he holds radical positions that are far to the right of my party, the GOP. The question then becomes “will Hice be effective as a legislator?” Clearly, the answer is a resounding “no.”

Based on his previous statements and writings, it is obvious that Hice will not even try to constructively influence legislation or get anything of substance passed. One can see where Hice is headed when he gets into Congress: towards never-ending conflict stoked by raw emotion.

Hice’s views on the role of women illustrate just how out of the mainstream his ideas are. In 2014, it is inconceivable that any serious candidate for national office would still believe that a woman should only enter politics “as long as she is acting within the authority of her husband.” Living in a very conservative area, I know few people who are pro-choice, much less pro-abortion. But hardly anyone would declare (per Hice) that the prochoice side advocates a policy “much worse than Hitler’s” murdering of six million Jews.

Hice’s radicalism regarding gays and lesbians is also beyond the pale. Incredibly, Hice

more, these are the un-American beliefs of someone who is not within the mainstream of the GOP, our country or this district.

Just as extreme are Hice’s views on taxes.

Most citizens would agree that our current tax system needs reform, and that loopholes must be closed so that multinational corporations and billionaires cannot continue to evade their financial responsibilities. But in his typically extremist style, Hice wants to totally do away with the progressive income tax, the primary vehicle for insuring that the wealthy actually pay their fair share. Instead, he wants to have a regressive new national sales tax, dumping even more of the tax burden on the middle class versus the wealthy.

We had a clear choice this year in District 10. We could have chosen a moderate, a pragmatist willing to work with the other side to compromise and get things done. Instead, we elected another Ted Cruz or, more accurately, a small-time Rush Limbaugh. We got a congressman who implied (via large Soviet hammerand-sickle billboards) that the president of the United States is a Communist. Since this same individual was elected twice by the majority of voting Americans, what does Hice think of all of us? Are we all dupes of the world-wide communist conspiracy?

As is often said, we get the government that we deserve. Shamefully, in the case of the 10th District, that translates to more irresponsible government shutdowns, counterproductive debt-ceiling showboating and Tea Party obstructionism.

Jack Bernard The author is a former Jasper County commissioner and GOP county chairman.

GDOT Rep Uses Influence for Client Oconee County officials—at the request of Board of Commissioners Chairman Melvin Davis—met earlier this month with commercial real estate broker Jamie Boswell and one of his clients to discuss a possible change in the plans for the widening of Mars Hill Road. Boswell and his client, Maxie Price, wanted to discuss a cut in the median to provide access to property Price owns once the roadway is widened.

Boswell, in addition to being a Realtor, is the local representative to the state Transportation Board, which oversees the administration of construction contracts, including the one let in July for the widening of Mars Hill Road from Highway 316 to Butler’s Crossing.

Boswell’s client, Price, also is the defendant in a condemnation suit the county has filed to obtain right of way for the widening project. County Attorney Daniel Haygood, who attended the meeting on Nov. 3, said it was in connection with the condemnation action, which is still pending in Oconee County Superior Court. “I think it is fair to point out that we told, and have repeatedly told, Mr. Price and his attorneys that the ultimate authority to settle these condemnation cases lies with GDOT, and not the county, particularly in the area of design changes,” Haygood said.

GDOT Control The Georgia Department of Transportation is governed by the 14-member State Transportation Board, on which Boswell sits as the representative of the 10th Congressional District. Boswell lives in Athens just inside the district. He was appointed to that board in February 2013 by members of the Georgia General Assembly whose districts fall partially or completely in the 10th Congressional District. The state law lists only one qualification for Transportation Board members, who serve a term of five years. They must be “a resident of the congressional district which he or she represents.”

The Transportation Board, in addition to supervising construction contracts, names the highway commissioner, determines which public roads are within the state highway system and approves long-range transportation plans.

Details Are Sketchy

Georgia Department of Transportation

Details of the Nov. 3 meeting, which took place at the Oconee County Public Works office in the Government Annex on Highway 15 on the south side of Watkinsville, are sketchy.

Public Works Director Emil Beshara confirmed to me in an email on Nov. 7 that he, Boswell, Price, an attorney for Price, Haygood and county Administrative Officer Jeff Benko attended the meeting. Beshara said no minutes of the meeting were taken. Davis did not attend, according to Beshara.

I filed an open records to obtain email and other written documents about the request by Boswell and Price for a change in the design of the roadway after I learned of those discussions. The period covered by the request was from Oct. 1–31, 2014.

At 9:19 a.m. on Oct. 27, Administrative Officer Benko sent Beshara an email message from his iPhone saying “Melvin would like your expertise to set up a meeting with Jamie Boswell/MA and Maxie price on feasibility of turn in to price Jamie Boswell property off Mars hill.” (All quotes from emails in this article are presented as written.)

MA stands for Moreland Altobelli Associates Inc. (MAAI) of Norcross, which did the design work on the Mars Hill Road widening project and handled right of way acquisition for the project for the county.

Benko said he knew the median cut already had been discussed and was not feasible and said Beshara can relay that at the meeting. “Melvin asked if you could handle it for him!!!”

Benko wrote.

Price Properties Price owns three pieces of connected property in the county under the name of Deferred Tax LLC of Loganville. Parcel 1 is the largest at 26.8 acres and is bordered by Virgil Langford Road, SR 316, the Oconee Connector and Mars Hill Road. The official address from the county tax records is 1291 Virgil Langford Road. The second parcel is 6.9 acres and is at the southwest corner of the Oconee Connector and Mars Hill Road. (The official address from the tax records is 0 Oconee Connector.) The third parcel is 12.2 acres and fronts on Mars Hill Road.

The Mars Hill Road widening project includes the section of the Oconee Connector from 316 to the Mars Hill Road/Daniells Bridge Road intersection and then continues on to Butler’s Crossing. Price is seeking a cut in the median on the section of the Oconee Connector between 316 and the Mars Hill Road/Daniells Bridge Road intersection to allow for access to his properties from that roadway.

Price in Conflict with County The county filed suit against Price in November of last year when Price refused to accept the offered compensation for easements on two small pieces of land needed for the widening of Mars Hill Road.

Lee Becker

oconee observations

Sexual Assault Anonymity Confidential Reporting Leads to More Reports

R

eporting sexual assault on a college campus is uncharted territory for many students. The multiple resources the University of Georgia provides in the way of prevention, reporting and investigating these incidents goes largely unnoticed until a student finds herself suddenly in need of these services.

In a recent open dialogue on sexual assault hosted by UGA, students raised concerns about victim-blaming, a lack of confidentiality and a general loss of faith in the system. An anonymous real-time comment box was projected on a screen: • “I’m concerned about rapes on campus not being publicly acknowledged or properly handled.”

• “Something actually being done about the issue—not just talking about it.”

• “That students don’t have a central place to go if they have experienced sexual violence.”

Jaynce Dawkins, director for UGA’s Equal Opportunity Office and Title IX coordinator, said the theme of the discussion was a quest for a common goal: “To eliminate sexual assault and sexual misconduct at the University of Georgia.”

Representatives from every campus group and organization that has a stake in ending sexual assault—from Relationship and Sexual Violence Prevention to University Housing (CAPS) to police—were in attendance.

As noted by Dawkins, UGA comprises

roughly 35,000 students and 10,000 employees, but they had trouble filling a room with a 200-person capacity. This stressed her need to get the word out about the school’s various systems of support in sexual assault situations, which aren’t just a tool for investigation and punishment, but also include preventative training measures.

“Our job is not to just investigate,” Dawkins told Flagpole. Among prevention, training and awareness, Dawkins added, not many students take advantage of the resources available to them. She said there is some sort of event or training related to this topic every week—for example, regular self-defense training classes that the police department conducts for free.

What’s Confidential?

In navigating the multitude of groups within the UGA community, it’s important for students to know there are designated places on campus that guarantee a sexual assault victim’s right of confidentiality and other places where there is no protected confidentiality.

Telling your professor, for instance, is not protected.

During UGA’s open dialogue, Jane Westpheling, a genetics professor, said that in her last faculty meeting the professors were directed that they “may not have confidential conversations with students who come to

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ NOVEMBER 19, 2014

[them] as victims of sexual assault… That concerns me greatly.”

She added that in teaching both large and small classes, as well as being an academic adviser, she develops close relationships with her students. “Providing a safe haven for someone to come tell you that they’ve been assaulted is absolutely imperative to reporting these issues,” Westpheling said. “The notion that I can’t have a confidential conversation with someone doesn’t make any sense to me.”

However, there is an exception to that rule.

If you inform the EOO prior to confiding in your professor and request that it be confidential, your teacher can be given the power of confidentiality.

The locations on campus where a victim of sexual assault can be guaranteed anonymity and confidentiality include: RSVP, CAPS, Health Center Medical Clinicians, Student Support Services and Ombudspersons. In addition, the North Georgia Cottage, located behind the Athens-Clarke County police station off Lexington Road, is an essential offcampus resource for victims of sexual assault; it also provides a 24-hour crisis hotline and is completely confidential.

In most cases, the confidentiality requests of a student who files a report with the EOO will be honored, except in situations where it’s determined to be a “campus safety issue.”

Those situations can range from multiple accusations of one perpetrator, an incident comprised of a group of perpetrators, if the

victim believes she was drugged or if the incident happened on what is considered a “hot spot” on campus. If it has to be investigated, the student will be informed, but will have no control over stopping the proceedings.

The EOO Takes Over In April of 2011, the Department of Education sent a letter to universities and colleges nationwide to spell out how institutions regulated under Title IX should investigate alleged acts of sexual violence. That’s when the EOO took over these investigations from the Office of Student Conduct.

As the Title IX coordinator, Dawkins, with the EOO, is responsible for ensuring compliance with UGA’s Non-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment policy. “We are not an advocate. We don’t advocate for the accuser or the accused,” Dawkins told Flagpole. “We are charged with conducting a fair and impartial process and determine by a preponderance of the evidence that we collect whether there’s been a violation of our policy.”

The EOO investigation is separate and distinct from a police investigation. It uses the “preponderance of the evidence standard” meaning that, as mentioned by one of the EOO investigators, “50 percent plus a feather.” The investigator can determine that there was a violation if the evidence suggests that it was more likely than not to have occurred.

These cases rarely just come down to “hesaid, she-said,” according to Dawkins. And these investigations take into account more than just the testimony of the two students involved. she said. Evidence that is used includes security camera and digital communications. If a violation is found, the weight of the evidence will come into play during sanctions.

According to UGA’s policy, the school can take interim protective measures—even prior to the determination of violation—when not taking such measures would “constitute a threat to safety and well-being of the complainant” or other members of UGA’s community. Interim measures include reassigning housing, prohibiting contact with the com-

students’ awareness of confidential reporting centers.

As previously reported by Flagpole, sexual assaults on campus are most likely to occur in the “Red Zone”—the time period between the beginning of school and Thanksgiving when students are most at risk. And the statistics also indicate that freshmen and sophomores are most at risk.

In recent years, UGA police began accepting anonymous reporting—including those reports made by a third party. The numbers have since gone through the roof. This year alone, there have been more reported sexual assaults than in the last 13 years combined.

Of the 74 reported incidents this year, 60 of them were rape.

GRAND G N I N E P O plainant and bans on entering certain university property.

Since the DOE letter, 50 lawsuits have been filed across the country by alleged perpetrators who claim the adjudication process based on this standard of evidence violates their rights to due process. None of these lawsuits involve UGA. Earlier this year, Flagpole reported on the experiences of former UGA student Katherine Garcia, who described being sexually assaulted at a fraternity on campus. Shortly after that, Kristopher Stephens, EOO associate director and one of the investigators, contacted her.

“I was kind of confused because I felt like I was very, very open in my story in Flagpole.

I didn’t feel like I had anything else to tell,” Garcia said. “I was kind of frustrated that I was having to go through everything one more time, but now in retrospect I realize how important it was to have everything on record.

“I think it’s great that we have the numbers and the statistics and that more people are reporting this,” she said.

Reports Through the Roof “If we don’t get the information, we don’t know how to respond. We don’t know where to respond,” said Deanna Walters, a coordinator for RSVP, at the open dialogue. Other hosts of the dialogue echoed the need for more data and accurate sexual assault numbers, which segued into more discussion regarding

From the time EOO took over Title IX investigations in 2012, there have been a total of 87 cases, which includes incidents of sexual harassment and other Title IX areas.

However, Dawkins said, “Any of these that were informally resolved would not be a sexual assault.” Pursuant to federal guidelines, informal resolutions of sexual assault cases are not permitted. A total of 20 of these cases were informally resolved, which means that a maximum of 67 of these cases could have been sexual assault. A Georgia Open Records Act request was submitted for these sexual assault specific numbers, but Dawkins told Flagpole that pinpointing the exact number of cases would take extra time—numbers were not available as of press time. Regardless, out of all the closed EOO Title IX investigations, more than half of these cases conclude that no violation occurred, despite the low standard of evidence.

What’s most important, Dawkins said, is that students are “more comfortable reporting” and “more knowledgeable” on where to report. “Ideally, we want to have no investigations and no reports because there are none,” she said, adding that she hopes efforts to educate the UGA community will take root and eliminate some sexual assaults.

“We’re working on it, and I just never want to be content with where we are, because we can always do better,” Dawkins said. “I hope every day we do it better.”

The contract philosophy behind how much residents pay for its services. Led with GreenPlay does not extend beyond the financial issues, by the Colorado-based recreation consultant GreenPlay, Leisure Dropinski said. For now, Kilpatrick added, the department relies Services staff started by grouping current programming into on its staff to get a sense of what the community needs.

34 categories—“recreational sports,” “advanced classes” and “It is our job, as professionals in this field and representing “facility rentals,” for example—and then asked members of the taxpayers in this community, to have our ear to the ground the community to place each one on a scale ranging from programs that benefit only an individual to those that benefit the entire community.

The French Symbolist’s “St. Anthony”

T

he temptation of Saint Anthony is an often-repeated theme in Western culture, resurfacing throughout the history of art and literature, as famous names such as Hieronymus Bosch, Salvador Dali and Max Ernst have taken the story as their subject.

The tale tells of Saint Anthony the Great, an early Christian ascetic, who after pilgrimaging into the desert at the age of 20 to live as a hermit, endures various supernatural temptations and torments sent by the devil. Most popular in medieval and Renaissance art—as artists became increasingly fascinated with psychology, dreams, spirituality and occult phenomena—Anthony’s struggle also experienced revivals throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. “The Nightmare Transported into Art: Odilon Redon’s ‘St. Anthony,’” an exhibition currently on view at the Georgia Museum of Art, presents a complete set of French symbolist artist Odilon Redon’s lithographs that interpret Gustave Flaubert’s literary masterwork, The Temptation of Saint Anthony.

Though he was a contemporary of Impressionists, Redon shared very little in common with their style that was so much grounded in the surface of the physical world.

While Claude Monet—who was born in the same year as Redon, 1840—was focusing on capturing natural sunlight’s glittering effects through softly shaded, pleasant paintings, Redon created “noirs,” charcoal drawings, etchings and lithographs depicting the fantastical creatures of his imagination. Working exclusively in black and white for over two decades, he wholeheartedly embraced the color black with a strong reverence, believing it to be the most effective at communicating the deepest, most ambiguous parts of the unconscious world.

Flaubert, best known for Madame Bovary, spent close to three decades of his life attempting to perfect The Temptation of Saint Anthony. He rewrote the story three times in the form of an impossible play, a style debatably less capable of conveying emotions towards its wild imaginings as strongly as a traditional novel might have been. Loosely basing his rendition on Saint Athanasius’ Life of Saint Anthony of Antioch, written circa 360 CE, Flaubert condenses Anthony’s trials into a single night of terror full of fantastical events.

Drawing from his father’s medical texts on

mental illness as well as several popular turnof-the-century ideas such as theories of evolution and interest in non-Christian religions, his interpretation became a cult object to those interested in altered states of mind.

Redon found endless inspiration among the hallucinatory descriptions of bizarre figures in Flaubert’s work, leading him to produce three lithographic albums: two titled “The Temptation of Saint Anthony” in 1888 and 1896—the latter of which is the subject of GMOA’s exhibit—and “To Gustave Flaubert” in 1889. Rather than choosing major plot points, Redon narrows in on the minute moments that made the greatest impression on his imagination. Passages from the text such as “eyes without heads were floating like mollusks” and “the beasts of the sea, round like leather bottles” may have been of lesser importance in the overall text, yet received their own plates within Redon’s series. Under the assumption that the majority of viewers would already be familiar with the story of Saint Anthony, Redon created his lithographs to be evocative, more than illustrative of plot.

Immensely curious about the world beyond the visible, Redon combined his observations of nature—including biological forms seen through a microscope—with thoughts on the supernatural. A precursor to the developing Symbolist movement, Redon sought to create mystical, subjective art exploring the intersections of the physical and spiritual worlds.

Though Anthony’s encounters with gods of non-Christian religions are within only one chapter of Flaubert’s book, six of the 24 plates on view at GMOA are dedicated to their image: three Hindu goddesses, Buddha, Cybele, Isis, Apollo and Oannes. Oannes, a Chaldean god who was part man and part fish and described himself as “the first consciousness of chaos, arose from the abyss to harden matter, to regulate forms,” was of particular interest to Redon, likely resonating with his interest in biology and contemplation on the creation of life.

Laura Valeri, associate curator of European art and curator of the exhibition, will lead a tour on Wednesday, Dec. 17 at 2 p.m. “The Nightmare Transported into Art” will remain on view through Sunday, Jan. 25.

movie reviews BIRDMAN OR (THE UNEXPECTED VIRTUE OF a way to disrupt the production in grandiose IGNORANCE) (R) There are no half-measures (and hilarious) ways, making Thomsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life all in the magic-realist Birdman, director/cothe more difficult and unpredictable. screenwriter Alejandro GonzĂĄlez Iùårrituâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Birdman, as well as Iùårritu and ace cinlatest feature. The movie focuses on a flounematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, soars when dering Hollywood actor, Riggan Thomson the narrative starts to tighten up with angst (Michael Keaton), attempting to gain some and leans over the edge of showbiz satire, semblance of respectability and artistic grace staring straight into the caustic black abyss working on Broadway for the first time. The of shattered expectations. But Birdman is film has a kinetic style (shot as if in one no downer: Plenty of scenes cut emotionally continuous take) that exhilarates as well as agitates, perfectly mimicking the internal life of its wounded protagonist. Birdman goes big from its opening snare-drum-score credit sequence, flies high for the next two hours and rarely falters.

Back in the 1990s, Thomson was hot stuff. He was the star of his own blockbuster superhero franchise, Birdman, and he dominated the box office. Times have radically changed for Thomson 20 years later, however.

His family life is in shambles, and his personal head space is troubled and getting worse. His route to artistic self-worth? Thomson adapts Raymond Carverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What We Talk About Finally, Batman vs. Hulk!

When We Talk About Loveâ&#x20AC;? for the stage, directs it and stars in it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an ambideep, particularly the one where Thomson tious gamble, but one heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desperate to take goes off on the most influential theater critic on. Until he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

(Lindsay Duncan) in the city. The ensemble Saddled with a terrible co-lead, Thomson cast breathes life into the proceedings is forced to cut the actor just a day before throughout, and the highly choreographed the first preview. As a replacement, he lands sequences are mesmerizing. the combustible Mike (Edward Norton) to take Birdman centers on Keaton, however, and over the role. Mike makes for great perforalthough he has delivered plenty of fine permances and great box office, but he also has formances over the decades, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been

better than here and shows great depth in the subtlest facial expressions and line deliveries.

Keaton takes risks, as does Iùårritu, and the result is that he delivers one of the best performances in one of the finest, most original movies of the year. This is what we talk about when we talk about cinematic love. [Derek Hill] [Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: This is Derek Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last review for Flagpole (at least for a while). He is moving on from Athens.]

DUMB AND DUMBER TO (R) Twenty years later, this sequel to the Farrelly Brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popular debut (already prequeled in Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd, which I never watched; anyone remember the short-lived cartoon version that ran in 1995?) gives off rank hints of desperation at times. After a two-decade long, catatonic gig in a mental hospital, Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) reunites with Harry Dunne (Athens native Jeff Daniels) on a road trip to meet Harryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grown daughter (Rachel Melvin), in the hopes she can give Harry the kidney he desperately needs.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be honest; the narrative of Dumb and Dumber To is its least important part, but that logline is pretty awful, especially since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credited to six (?!) writers.

No one had a better idea than this? Tsk, tsk, Bobby and Peter. Is the lack of a credible narrative thread why it took 20 years to get this flick to the big screen? Half the story plays like a remake, anyway.

While the scripted gags are expectedly juvenile, they are, sadly, expectedly unfunny as well. A cat on crystal meth may be one of the lamer visual gags, and the charactersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ceaseless malapropisms grow tiresome. Good thing Carrey and Daniels are so game. They throw their all into reprising these two dumbdumbs, and their chemistry often overwhelms the underwhelming writing.

One wonders how much of the actual funny jokes were written or improvised. Why not just let the two stars make it all up as they go? As the results in the first filmâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the â&#x20AC;&#x153;most annoying sound in the worldâ&#x20AC;? sceneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;prove, the results should not be less funny. Carrey and Danielsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dumb duo may be 20 years older, but they play them with the same limber, childlike goofiness, as evidenced by their reaction to the explanation of sex provided by Kathleen Turnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fraida Felcher.

I would be remiss not to mention pretty, young Rachel Melvinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s innocently wonderful turn as Harryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, Penny. Melvin successfully pulls off a Penny who is as sweetly dumb as her deadbeat dad. Melvinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fortunate revelation in a comedy where so many of its supporting cast are left out to dry. Not even Rob Riggle can elicit more than a few chuckles as not one, but two characters. His funnel-nuts gag is a winner. Stick through the credits for the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best cameo.

Most damning to this sequel is the immediate realization of how it will probably deteriorate under the scrutiny of repeated viewing.

Jokes that may have garnered a first chuckle will trickle away to nothing, and the movie seems to lack the sort of Easter eggs one discovers on additional viewings. One early cameo is given away by a cursory glance at IMDB. I expected more, smarter callbacks to the original. Those moments are mostly either obvious or non-existent. Equidistant between awful and equal to its predecessor, this sequel just proves to have been a dumb(er) idea.

The Case for Cassettes Tapes are Here Again, But Don’t Call it a Comeback

L

ong disregarded by the general public, thought to be an outdated medium for recording and listening to music, cassette tapes have gained a more watchful and interested audience in recent years. Influential independent labels like Captured Tracks, Drag City and Polyvinyl are now releasing their artists’ music on cassette alongside today’s other standards: digital download or stream, CD and vinyl. Joyful Noise Recordings even reissued Athens indie-pop outfit of Montreal’s discography on tape in 2011, limited to 500 hand-numbered copies, each in a screen-printed, custom-built wooden box.

More recently, the cassette has picked up often-surreal mainstream nods. Following its stellar performance at the box office and on the Billboard charts (a $330 million domestic gross, according to Box Office Mojo, and a No. 1 spot on the 200 chart), Disney subsidiary Hollywood Records announced that the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack would be released on tape. (The limited-edition release will be made available exclusively to independent retailers participating in Record Store Day through Dec. 31.)

In Athens, tape sales have been strong, no doubt a reflection of the musical community putting them out—a growing list of labels, including Southern Vision, Moeke and Cohosh, have released cassettes from bands like Pinecones, Nurture and Shade this year—and to the small but consistent consumer base frequenting Athens’ handful of record stores.

“Lots of locally released stuff is selling pretty consistently, and people from the Sidecar are picking up a lot of used cassettes of classic titles, as well,” says Wuxtry Records employee John Fernandes, whose own bands, Circulatory System and, soon, Old Smokey, boast cassette releases.

Rather than haphazardly attempt to place markers on a movement many are reluctant to say for sure is even occurring, it is more important to examine the process and benefit

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ NOVEMBER 19, 2014

of putting music to tape, and how this highly involved labor reflects the ever-changing values of today’s music listener.

After all, it’s not like tapes disappeared. They’ve just been hiding out in thrift shops, gathering dust in parents’ garages and quietly occupying an ever-growing space in the local record store.

Why Tapes?

Cassettes have always had a home underground, among collectors and audiophiles with that DIY ethos that transcends the common cool, anchored instead in pragmatism, necessity and passion. Sonically, genres like noise, ambient, punk and acoustic music make the best fit for the medium, their thin, washed-out qualities affected little by reducing the sound to a roll of tape not 4 millimeters wide. (The Elephant 6 collective, with its fuzzed-out folk sounds, represents just one example of Athens’ rich tape-trading history.)

For many musicians a self-reliant spirit is enough to inspire tape creation. But there are also specific advantages to recording and releasing on cassette that go beyond cutting out the man.

For starters, they are inexpensive to make. Overlooking the costs of recording and mastering, which can be completed in any number of different ways, with any number of different budgets, an artist or band can produce 100 professional tapes for about $84, a number that includes the actual tapes, Norelco boxes, paper inserts (or “J-cards”) and labels, courtesy of National Audio Company.

Compare that to $246 for a run of 100 CDs in jewel cases or $1,918 for 200 copies of vinyl from leading industry manufacturer Disc Makers (200 is the minimum order for vinyl), and it’s

easy to see why bands on a budget might opt to put their faith in a four-inch piece of plastic.

Athens musician Patrick Brick has been putting out music on tape for a few years, most recently releasing Dog Dreams, the latest album from his confessional bedroom-pop project, Futo, on his own fledgling label, Teen Sleuth. Brick attests to the medium’s affordability and ease of production.

“It was more of just an availability type thing,” he says. “I could make my own CDs, but it just doesn’t look as good as a handmade cassette. I wanted physical merch without dealing with CDs. It was just the quickest, easiest DIY way to get my shit out there.”

Indeed, a well designed tape can differentiate a band from the pack at the merch table, but cassettes also allow a heightened level of personalization and an ability to connect artist to listener.

“If you’re just doing single little tapes, I think it’s much better, artist-to-consumer,” says Brick. “I used to write little notes in mine. You can’t write on a CD. CDs are the worst.”

On top of being economical and intimate, there is another obvious reason for the renewed interest in tapes among a younger generation: nostalgia.

In terms of music, fashion and other cultural signifiers, society has a knack for looking back to generations past and borrowing to create anew, a reclamation and reworking of trends, themselves likely inspired by other past innovators.

Think of the post-punk revival of the early- and mid-aughts, heralded by Brooklyn’s vintage cool, or the influence of the ‘90s on today’s music and fashion.

“It’s kind of a fetishization thing—and I don’t mean that in a bad way, because I do the same thing. It’s just a cool physical medium,” says J.J. Posway, whose formerly Athensbased noise-pop trio, Scooterbabe, and ambient solo project,

Aprotag, have released recordings on cassette via local labels Pizza Tomb and Poswayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Slouch Tapes, respectively.

Poswayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sentiment rings true with many young people.

Cassettes are a bridge between generations entrenched in physical media and millennials raised to stream and download, though the regard seems less for quality or creator and more for simplicity and availability. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Digital music is so easy to acquire,â&#x20AC;?

Posway says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tapes are an actual, exciting physical medium.â&#x20AC;?

Staying Power?

The question remains whether the cassette can transcend its niche status and, like vinyl several years ago, experience a full-blown revival. Tapes have an an undeniable appeal for many, but do its most fervent proponents have what it takes to compete for the attention of a consumer base so shifting in taste and preference?

Bobby Power, of Atlanta experimental label Geographic North, believes so, echoing the argument that tapes never really went away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They may be putting up a stronger fight for shelf space than, say, 10 years ago,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been a fervent cassette culture.â&#x20AC;?

Geographic North, spearheaded by Power (an occasional Flagpole contributor) and three friends, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t initially release its artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; music on cassette, beginning instead with vinyl and turning to tapes later, when budgets only provided for small, quick runs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a label, tapes allow us to take more chances and release stuff weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re super excited aboutâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have as much money to spend on as a 7-inch or 12-inch release,â&#x20AC;? says Power, whose label boasts releases from A Sunny Day In Glasgow and Deerhunter offshoot Lotus Plaza.

Like many labels, Geographic North posts music from its releases online, hoping it will encourage curious listeners to buy the physical product. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If anything, we probably cater to the needs of a non-tape-buying audience,â&#x20AC;? Power says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First and foremost, we just want this music we care about served up to the folks that would dig it, which is why we decided to put up each tape for free stream and download as soon as the tape is available.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They may be putting up a stronger fight for shelf space than 10 years ago, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been a fervent cassette culture.â&#x20AC;?

This attitude reflects the wide array of formatting available to consumers, with cassettes representing just a tiny percentage of the music market. Even if their resurgence can be qualified as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;revival,â&#x20AC;? it seems highly unlikely tape will once again become the preferred method of release on a larger scale.

So where, then, is the cassetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music economy, if digital streaming leads the race, vinyl has hit the mainstream and CDs occupy the nexus of â&#x20AC;&#x153;not very interestingâ&#x20AC;? but â&#x20AC;&#x153;too convenient to forgetâ&#x20AC;??

Locally, tapes may be selling well, but Captured Tracks owner Mike Sniper says the numbers are â&#x20AC;&#x153;very lowâ&#x20AC;? for his company, which boasts a roster of indie powerhouses like DIIV, Wild Nothing and Beach Fossils. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On a bigger release, like Mac DeMarco, the cassette version will do about 3â&#x20AC;&#x201C;4 percent of the sales, if even,â&#x20AC;? says Sniper.

In addition, there is a conspicuous practical barrier for many would-be buyers: Few people actually own the necessary equipment in 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Listening has become relative to what is in our cars, our home stereo equipment, etc. Most newer vehicles donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have tape players,â&#x20AC;? says Gabrielle Bischoff, whose family owns and operates The Pope On Prince, a thrift store located above the Daily Groceries Co-Op. Still, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slowly but surely changing, Bischoff says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our cassette players and tape recorders seem to disappear just as soon as they arrive.â&#x20AC;? In one particular instance, a woman arrived with an old Nakamichi tape player, assuming it was worthless and thinking the store was a Catholic donation center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The lady who brought it to us said it was her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and he used it for some sort of psychology dictation. She wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappointed when I offered her money for it,â&#x20AC;? Bischoff says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe that it sold the following day.â&#x20AC;?

Athens Music at the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Busiest Airport

Jason thrasher

ow do you sum up the Athens music scene in one photo series? How do you capture the essence of all its personalities, its styles and its quirks? Athens photographer Jason Thrasher says he realized: You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

But what you can do, and what Thrasher does in his new photography exhibit at the main atrium in Atlantaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, is capture the connectivity of it all and the sense of personal relationships so intrinsic to the sense of this city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to focus on individual artists rather than bands,â&#x20AC;? says Thrasher, whose iconic images of musicians like R.E.M., OutKast and the Drive-By Truckers have made their way into the pages and onto the covers of Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, the New York Times and many more cultural mainstays. (Flagpole, too, yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;know.)

Thrasherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new airport show went up last week and will be on display through February.

The images of musicians are culled from a project Thrasher is currently working on called Athens Potluck. The goal is soon to publish the images as a book.

Thrasher says he struggled with the idea of how to create a photo book of the Athens music scene that captures the reality of the town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A music scene book seemed so daunting,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How do you do it accurately but also not spend so much time on the five or six bands everybody knows?â&#x20AC;?

Thrasher says everything came together when he decided to let the subjects themselves guide the direction of the project. He would create portraits of one musician, and then that musician would nominate the next artist for Thrasher to shoot.

By allowing the project to be guided by community ties rather than hitting all the expected big Athens names, Thrasher was able to capture the laid-back and unpredictable charm of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scene, like the potluck dinners from which the project takes its name.

He also focused on images of musicians in their homes rather than onstage performing.

He started off with Orange Twinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Laura Carter, and the photos wound their way through

internationally known musicians (Patterson Hood, Michael Stipe, Will Cullen Hart) to well known local faces (Don Chambers, Cara Beth Satalino, Jason Griffin).

“Because so many people play in different bands, this was the the best way for me to capture Athens,” he says, “and I also wanted to reference artifacts from their experience on the road, in bands, as musicians, getting photos of their homes, CDs, etc.”

The airport’s atrium gallery—a central public space you may assume still houses a replica of the fossilized remains of the 33-foot-long yangchuanosaurus dinosaur that long loomed above dozing travelers—will house 18 or 19 of the photos from the Athens Potluck project.

“Not everyone’s represented,” says Thrasher. “I had to go with [images] that would be good for the space, and also leave more for the book, too.” The exhibit also features a video wall and informational plaques about the musicians and Athens.

Katherine Dirga, the Atlanta Airport Art Program manager, initially contacted Thrasher about his work, he says. Thrasher adds that he is excited to have his work on display in a space that sees 70,000 people per day pass through. (It’s before the security checkpoints, too, so it’s technically open to the public.)

Jason Griffin “Something that’s nice about openings [in traditional galleries] is hundreds of people show up,” he says, “but then the rest of the time you have a show in a gallery, it’s really unpredictable, and who knows how many people really go to a gallery.”

The show will expose Thrasher’s work—and the Athens scene itself—to people who may never have visited or heard of the city, or whose knowledge of Athens music is limited to R.E.M. or the B-52’s. The large prints are mounted on four columns around the main atrium, a soaring space that also houses seating for a food court.

“I think it’s cool that doctors, lawyers, cooks, whoever, will see art when they wouldn’t expect,” says Thrasher, who also has had images in the Georgia Theatre’s renovated lobby space.

Some of his photography was featured in a recent Lyndon House show centered around the Elephant 6 musical gang.

Athens Potluck is still an ongoing affair, but Thrasher sees an end in sight for the project and hopes to wrap up the book soon. “I’ve been working on this project in spurts for about three years,” he says, “and have photographed about 27 people.”

For now, if you find yourself at the airport, take a minute to look up from your bagel and boarding pass. Tell a passing stranger about all these musicians who know each other and live together, with you, in Athens.

As reported on flagpole.com last week: Nearly two years to the day it opened, Lumpkin Street music room and watering hole Green Room is on the marketplace. Owner Wilmot Greene says he is offering it up for sale as of now and, in any case, will not be renewing the liquor license currently held in his name, which expires Dec. 30. The building underwent extensive renovation, courtesy of Greene and his partners, before opening and includes a suite of offices on its second floor that can be rented out by anyone who takes over its lease.

(The purchase of the business itself is a separate agreement from the lease on the building that houses the venue.) Although associated with the Georgia Theatre, Green Room has functioned fairly independently from that venue since its opening and was not included as part of the sale of the Theatre earlier this year. Greene tells Flagpole he is selling because he’s moving away after 26 years and has never liked “the idea of being an absentee owner in this industry.”

While this news has quietly circulated for a couple of weeks, no serious offers have yet crossed Greene’s desk. “This will be the first announcement that it is for sale. We didn’t want to have Semicircle a ‘for sale’ sign in the window when bands were playing,” he says. Interested parties should contact Greene via wilmotg@gmail.com.

Spare A Dime?: Carnival owner and sound machine Mr. Blank (aka Mux Blank) is hitting the road this week with Pride the Lycan.

Although the handful of dates scheduled around the state seem completely manageable, they’ve reached out to fans and supporters to raise some necessary funds before heading out. Any donation over $10 gets a set of six buttons designed by Mr. Blank himself, and anything over $20 gets buttons and a special tour edition of the upcoming Mr. Blank EP, Say Nothing of What We’ve Discussed.

Two in the Hand: The soundtrack to your winter season will have a worthy addition via a new release from Semicircle. The band, composed of Reptar members Andrew McFarland and Ryan Engelberger, has slowly developed an identity completely separate from their other band’s danceable, angular

n

pop-rock, and their efforts are not unappreciated. Their debut full length album is titled Blown Breeze, Grown Grass and We are Part of the Earth, and the debut single, “Mechanism of Erasure,” is a champ of a guitar-driven track, if that term was used more to describe, say, Pinback as opposed to Pantera. It’s hooky and even, and I’ve had it on repeat for at least a week now. Path Semicircle’s trajectory via semicirclemusic.bandcamp.com and get ongoing information at facebook.com/ semicirclemusic.

Last Night: As of right this minute, there are still tickets left for Widespread Panic’s annual New Year’s Eve show. There’s no telling what the next minute will bring. This year’s show is in Charlotte, NC at the Time Warner Cable Arena, so if you’re planning on going, you should make your plans now.

First, this will most assuredly sell out, and, second, Charlotte’s a hell of a commute, and you’re gonna need a hotel. Tickets are $70 for general admission floor access and $65 for reserved seats. For more information and to purchase tickets, see widespreadpanic.com.

Classic Center · 7 p.m. · $29.50–$34.50 Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past decade, you’re familiar with Old Crow Medicine Show’s “Wagon Wheel.” Covered by amateur singer-songwriters at open mics and Darius Rucker alike, the song—written by Bob Dylan and re-arranged enough to give Old Crow’s Ketch Secor a songwriting credit—rocketed the revivalists into the worldwide spotlight.

Since the band’s inception, lineup changes and collaborations have scattered its members to nearly every corner of the Americana market. The group’s latest album, Remedy, features guest appearances from Dylan and other folk mainstays. [Dan Mistich]
