winning in Athens-Clarke County. Gwen had been just as much an activist as Bernie, and she threw herself into the job of dayto-day heading a city, plus her early years were consumed with working out the nuts and bolts of unifying the city and county governments.

If Athens were the dominant city in a small state, Gwen could have gone on to Congress and to the Senate—or not. Love her or hate her, she put in eight years as mayor of Athens-Clarke County, and she helped to open up our government and make it more accessible to the people it governs.

With his full agreement, Harold Williams was taken off the respirator Sunday afternoon but kept on oxygen and taken home, where he is at this writing (on Monday) under hospice care. It is expected that he has but a brief time left. A heart attack suffered last weekend seems to be the immediate cause of his turn for the worse. His family and close friends are gathered with Harold, as so many more of us are through thoughts and prayers. Harold is a bright, engaging, caring man who worked hard, loved his family, his friends and his music and enlivened every encounter with his active concern.

His life is a beacon for us all, to show us the way to live with strength and conviction while being tolerant of others’ imperfections.

Even in the final days in the hospital waiting room, Harold’s friends could not refrain from telling Harold stories, such as his early job in the construction of Georgia Square Mall when he pretended to be trapped on the escalator and caused an instant eruption of street theater as fellow workers got in on the joke by rushing to his aid with ladders and other equipment.

A Turning Point on Taxes

VOTE FOR

Republicans Realize that Sometimes Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Necessary

By Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com Gov. Nathan Deal has finally signed the bill that dominated most of the discussion and media coverage in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislative session: HB 170, the transportation funding bill.

In adopting the bill, the governor, the legislative leadership and rank-and-file Republicans went against one of their partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bedrock principles: Taxes are bad and should never be raised. This was a huge tax increase that the General Assembly passed.

It will initially generate more than $900 million a year for projects, but it is indexed to rise with the inflation rate and increases in gasoline mileage standards. This means tax collections will soon cross into billiondollar territory.

The boosters of HB 170 may have slightly underestimated what the bill will do for transportation infrastructure. They say that $1 billion a year gives the state a bare minimum of what is needed to maintain existing roads, but some experts acknowledged the growing pot of money could pay for new construction as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We may be able to do other projects outside of maintenance,â&#x20AC;? Transportation Commissioner Russell McMurry conceded.

It was not a perfect billâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;far from itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the critics of HB 170 made valid arguments against the measure. Exhausted legislators were ordered to vote on a complex bill without having enough time to read or analyze it. Critics of the bill derided it as a taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; gravy train for highway contractors, and there is no question that construction firms are going to reap a bonanza from all the paving projects DOT will start rolling out. Very little money was set aside for transit.

But there is also the fact that Georgia has long ranked near the bottom in public

spending on transportation infrastructure, which left the state weighed down by crumbling highways and structurally unsound bridges.

Deal made a strong point here: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be a great tragedy if we had an accident with a school bus on a deteriorating bridge.â&#x20AC;?

He was rightâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you only have to think back to the tragic collapse of the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis in 2007, which killed 13 people and injured 145, to understand what the consequences could have been for Georgia.

In all the commentary about the adoption of HB 170, something that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t noted much is this: The bill marks a real turning point in the ongoing debate about how much people should pay for the services they expect from their government.

For the past decade or more, the fundamental argument of GOP legislators has been that taxes should never be raised and government spending must always be cut.

Dozens of lawmakers signed a pledge that they would never vote for a tax hike.

The argument was extended even further by libertarians who contended that government isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even necessary, because private enterprise and the free market will always come up with the right solution to every problem.

In the real world, of course, the free market wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t magically find a way to fix everything. There will be times when governments have to do it, which means raising taxes to pay for addressing these problems. There are even times when businesses will have to be told they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a tax break. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how politics works. The adoption of HB 170 was a sign that those realities are hitting home with many of those who serve at the Gold Dome. f

on them gently, then using force, according to the suspect’s response. Passive resistance—a protester refusing to move—gets a hand on the back. Active resistance or assault—throwing a punch or pulling a knife—might be a situation where a taser is used. The severity of the crime is another consideration: Someone who runs at a traffic stop shouldn’t be tased, but an armed robbery suspect might be.

“It is a tool that will be utilized at a very high level of active resistance into assaultive behavior by the suspect,” Gregory said.

Gregory quoted statistics showing that ACCPD officers rarely use force—in only 273 out 144,000 interactions with the public last year, or 0.16 percent, he said, compared to 1 percent for law enforcement nationwide, according to U.S. Department of Justice statistics.

The tasers ACCPD purchased record information about each time they’re fired. Higher-ups, a peer review panel and a doctor will review the circumstances each time a taser is fired, Interim Chief Carter Greene said.

Unfortunately—especially with everything that’s happened in Ferguson, New York, Baltimore and elsewhere, and the resulting tension between minorities and police all over the country—only one person attended the session (not counting government officials and the news media). Two more public forums on tasers are planned but not scheduled, said Greene, who added that he was disappointed with the turnout Apr. 29.

To their credit, the local department has responded to nationwide outrage over African American deaths at the hands of police with a new level of transparency. They also invited the public to participate in “fair and impartial policing” training for officers to teach them how to react without bias.

An Assault on Sexual Assault What Is UGA Doing to Prevent Rapes on Campus?

By Laura James news@flagpole.com

As

many as one in four women will leave commencement at the University of Georgia Friday as a survivor of sexual assault.

Last April, Flagpole detailed a rape survivor’s story, relating to the larger issue of sexual assault on college campuses—places where alcohol is endemic, sexual assaults are rarely reported, and those that are reported are never prosecuted.

Since then, the increased attention to sexual assault on college campuses has led universities to be more active in addressing this issue. More is understood about sexual assaults on college campuses: The majority of sexual assaults occur between known individuals, alcohol is usually involved, and survivors often face victim-blaming.

“Our number one goal has to be to prevent [sexual assault],” says Janyce Dawkins, director of the Equal Opportunity Office and Title IX coordinator. “And we do that by awareness, prevention-training and investigating in a fair and impartial way those when they happen and it’s appropriate to investigate.

We impose penalties that reflect the individual facts of that case. Ultimately, all of that will keep our students and our community safe.”

Very few students who are accused of sexual assault face any consequences. Last year alone 83 rapes and sexual batteries were reported to campus police. As of press time, 29 sexual assaults had been reported to UGA police in 2015, according to the police department’s The UGA Equal Opportunity Office hosted a sparsely attended dialog on sexual assault Mar. 2. crime log.

“

Joshua L. Jones

At all of these events, the audiences were largely female.

At Take Back the Night, Sally Sheppard, director of The Cottage, discussed rape culture. She defined it as “situations in which sexual assault, rape and general violence is ignored, trivialized, normalized or made into a joke. It’s dangerous in that it’s counterproductive to eliminating sexual violence from our society.”

She asked for examples of rape culture from the audience. After several hands shot up and attendees provided examples, Sheppard wrapped up her discussion by saying, “I hope that you are more likely to believe in [rape culture’s] existence, and I feel like I’m preaching to the choir a little bit here.”

RSVP employees are available upon request to visit classes, residence halls or student organizations to give training sessions on topics like consent and bystander intervention as well as other classes related to healthy relationships. Not all UGA students will take advantage of those resources, though.

Even with all of the prevention and intervention UGA offers, Lauren Pruitt, a senior women’s studies major, thinks UGA lags behind by not offering a physical space for a women’s center, which would serve as a central location for resources and services specific to women. Pruitt, along with other women’s studies students in her senior seminar class, set up a pop-up women’s center in Tate Plaza in March to emphasize the need for a physical location. Georgia Tech, Emory and Georgia State all have women’s centers.

“We think a women’s center is really the first big step in improving campus climate for women,” Pruitt says. She says a women’s center could help victims of sexual assault have a specific place where resources might be more visible and accessible.

UGA has taken a step in terms of mandatory prevention by starting to require all firstyear and transfer students under the age of 23 to complete a course called Haven: Understanding Sexual Assault. It is similar to the AlcoholEdu course students take to learn about risks of alcohol. Haven will address critical issues of sexual assault, such as consent and bystander intervention topics, as well as relationship violence and stalking.

“We do that right when they come in because we want them to have some sort of baseline knowledge about what’s OK, what’s not OK, what are we expecting of UGA students coming in and what the resources are if something happens,” says Deanna Walters, the primary advocate at RSVP. While one course certainly can’t eradicate rape culture and the risk of sexual assault, it serves as one step in adding as much prevention to the university as possible. Dawkins says resources and sexual assault prevention efforts have to be constantly reviewed. “I’m never satisfied that we’re done,” she says. “We’re constantly looking for ways to improve.” f

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s In a Name?

The Place and The Table Are Worth Your Time

By Hillary Brown food@flagpole.com

Joshua L. Jones

daily meat special and a bunch of veggie WHOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S ON FIRST?: Naming your restaurant The Place (229 E. Broad St., 706-850-2988) sides. Dinner adds some entrees.

The kitchen doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overseason its vegis kind of a coy move, even if it does refer gies or cook them to death. Black-eyed peas to the car dealership that once belonged to still have some texture and taste vegetal the family of owners Ryan and Alan Pope.

One can imagine an extended vaudeville routine of two friends trying to meet for dinner. But the generic name shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deter you, and neither should the fact that the restaurant describes its offerings as â&#x20AC;&#x153;refined Southern fare,â&#x20AC;? the kind of wording that is up there with â&#x20AC;&#x153;farm freshâ&#x20AC;? in the category of â&#x20AC;&#x153;things promised but rarely delivered.â&#x20AC;?

The former Five Star Day Cafe, at the heart of downtown Athens, is basically unrecognizable inside, with a makeover that shows the beauty of the historic space, adds a full bar and overflow seating upstairs and is full of clever touches to make use of limited square footage (and calling to mind the IKEA catalogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestions for living in a tiny apartment). Doors slide rather than swing out. A dumbwaiter carries food from the kitchen to the second floor to reduce mileage on the serversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; legs. Seating is tucked here and there, and dang The Place near all of it is filled. rather than simply of salt, with a faint, The Popes have run several restaurants almost citrusy undertone. The collards, before, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise that they underlikewise, still have some chew. The Gouda stand how to put together a menu, price mac and cheese is rather on the creamy side appropriately and train their servers. Said for a place boasting about its Southern cred, menu has some callbacks to Five Star, and the potato salad is no great shakes, but including the corn muffins that come as a the mashed potatoes, with big soft chunks side with several items. Sometimes sweet of onion incorporated, are nice. (too sweet for me) and sometimes spicy, The fried pork chop manages to feel theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an admitted work in progress. on the healthy side, and the tuna melt is Lunch is more sandwich-oriented, with a

positively virtuous, served on a robust multigrain bread that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get soggy. On the other hand, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;meltâ&#x20AC;? part is little in evidence. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more of a straight-up tuna salad sandwich. The shrimp burger is slightly greasier stuff, but manages to blend whole fried shrimp, cocktail sauce and coleslaw into a lovely series of crunchy, zippy bites.

The Southern bruschetta (pimento cheese plus bacon and tomatoes on buttered, grilled bread) is a fine starter, all crunch, spice and cold tomato.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good beer selection, with previous taps stored behind the bar upstairs, brunch in the works and an emphasis on

service. The Place is open for lunch and dinner every day and has a full bar.

MONIKERS, PT. 2: The Table (1075 Baxter St., 706-395-6599) has a hidden location on Baxter (in the modern loft building) to overcome as well as a completely generic name, but this restaurant, too, is making smart use of a small space and focusing on restraint. The open kitchen allows you to

see three people hard at work assembling prettily plated dishes that mostly make use of fresh vegetables and delicate seasonings.

The yuzu miso salad has nothing particularly fancy in it (no farms are identified on the menu), but the ingredients are treated with care and well dressed. Connieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cilacama Black Bean Wrap, a combination of black beans, cilantro, jicama, apple and low-fat yogurt aioli wrapped in a circle of naan, is an advertisement for vegetarianism and, in fact, a better combination than the Edisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chicken (coconut-buttermilk fried chicken breast with pickled beets, curry and lemon) or the Southern Chickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;n Makeover (stuffed with spinach and Brie, wrapped in bacon, pan-roasted), which are both good but rather on the sweet side.

Kabocha squash makes many an appearance (sometimes referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;squash casserole,â&#x20AC;? which it ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t), including in a pure and delicious vegetable soup that lets its components display their essential nature. The crab meatstuffed portobello mushroom with lobster sauce is similarly straightforward and light, not heavy and gross. The roasted garlic herb potatoes, the kind of side that most restaurants dump right out of a package, are great.

The Creole shrimp and grits is surprisingly well executed, and although the spicy Asian chili pasta isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t kidding about its level of heat, the bright-red noodles are perfectly cooked, and the flavors of the dish keep one coming back. The menu is broadly crosscultural (in a way that makes one nervous but ends up being a bonus), well priced and more than accommodating of dietary restrictions and preferences.

A few tables inside and out bear fresh flowers and salt shakers lovingly handlabeled â&#x20AC;&#x153;sea salt,â&#x20AC;? but take-out is a big part of the business, too.

The Table is open for lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday, closing from 2â&#x20AC;&#x201C;5 p.m. It has no bar but is totally worth your time. f

The Invented World of Julie Armbruster Asheville Artist Conjures Anthropomorphic Characters

By Jessica Smith arts@flagpole.com can work together. Once I have a solid sketch, I start with Wild-Eyed: Threatening carousel animals, a crown-wearing the background and fill in the characters, and finally the pigeon and mustached men disguised as tree stumps are outlining.â&#x20AC;? just a few of the unusual human-animal hybrids inhabiting the strange, illustrated world of Julie Armbruster. Currently on view at The Grit, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fake Whiskersâ&#x20AC;? exhibits a collection of painted panels, drawings and giclee prints by the Asheville, NC-based artist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The characters are kind of weirdos. They seem to be wrapped up in something and we just get a hint, as the viewer, of what they are up to,â&#x20AC;? says Armbruster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The settings range from interiors to exteriors, but I am very fond of wood patterning, so I add that to most of my work. I lived in a house that was all dark wood paneling, so I think that may have sunk in.â&#x20AC;?

The exhibit â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fake Whiskersâ&#x20AC;? takes its title from a panel of the same name in which a man has taped whiskers onto his gray mustache. He spectates from a wooden boardwalk overlooking a purple sea as a pair of yellow, feather-tailed and fang-toothed characters jump between the heads of giant blue creatures wearing scuba masks and authentic bristles. Nonsensical narratives such as this are indicative â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fake Whiskersâ&#x20AC;? by Julie Armbruster of the artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s automatic-drawing Armbrusterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal favorite in the exhibit is a pair approach; core elements are pulled from her imagination of large group portraits inspired by Magnetic Fieldsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 1999 then unified through delicate outlining and a glossy coat of three-volume, aptly-titled concept album, 69 Love Songs. resin.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two years ago, I challenged myself to make a small watercolor drawing based on each of the Magnetic Fieldsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 69 Love Songs,â&#x20AC;? says Armbruster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After that, I wanted to have a painting that had all of the love songs together. It ended up taking two panels, but I did it! These two panels together are a group portrait of all 69 of the drawings. I can hear the songs when I look at the panel, and I love the idea of a painting that sings to me.â&#x20AC;?

After receiving a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in art education from SUNY New Paltz and a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in painting from New York University, Armbruster joined Americorps, an endeavor that landed her in Asheville. Following her twoyear service, she began displaying works around town and slowly built up to making art a full-time career. She is one of over two dozen artists operating out of the River Arts Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wedge Studios, a series of 100year-old industrial buildings that have been converted into small businesses and studios for painters, potters, filmmakers, textile artists and other creative types.

A long-time vegetarian and devotee of The Grit Cookbook, Armbruster was encouraged to set up a show after meeting local artist Ruth Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;who currently has her own exhibit of animal paintings at ARTiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Art Lounge through Sunday, May 17â&#x20AC;&#x201D;at an exhibit in Knoxville, TN. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fake Whiskersâ&#x20AC;? will remain on view at The Grit through Sunday, May 10.

Disegno: A new exhibition at the Georgia Museum of Art, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lines of Inquiry: Renaissance and Baroque Drawings from the Ceseri Collection,â&#x20AC;? presents a dozen drawings that offer rare insight into the techniques and creative processes of European artists. Considered as both an intellectual and a practical activity, the art of designâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or â&#x20AC;&#x153;disegnoâ&#x20AC;? in Italianâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;lined out a foundation through which painters could express their inner visions. Beth Fadeley, a doctoral candidate in art history at the Lamar Dodd School of Art, guest-curated the show with assistance from students in Associate Professor Shelley Zurawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Art of Drawing.â&#x20AC;? An opening reception will be held on Saturday, May 9 from 2â&#x20AC;&#x201C;4 p.m., and the show will stay on view through Sunday, Aug. 2. f

As humorous as it was action-packed, Humor is present; it just takes unexpected effort to access. At times, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure what The Avengers set a bar so high the Hulk, other audience members were laughing at; I whose jumping capabilities are pretty much unparalleled, would struggle to clear it. am sure they thought the same of me.

And Avengers 2 (aka Age of Ultron) nearly clears the Avengers: Age of Ultron bar before barely tapping it with its broad shoulders.

Picking up after the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. chronicled in Captain America: Winter Soldier and ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,â&#x20AC;? the Avengers still hunt for HYDRA. After toppling Baron Strucker (Thomas Kretschmann), the super team is split by the powers of enhanced twins, Pietro and Wanda Maximoff (Aaron TaylorWhat? You never heard of Google Monocle?

Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen), leading Tony Stark to craft an Ăźber The Octopus Projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confounding AI named Ultron. Naturally, or artificially, score compounds the problem. The music Ultron (v. James Spader) has other plans occasionally seems to imply horror, the last for peace than the ones programmed by his genre one expects to unearth on Kumikoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creator. Fortunately, the struggle leads to treasure hunt. a pretty sweet, purple new addition named Vision (Paul Bettany).

AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON (PG-13) WriterFor the most part, the second Avengers director Joss Whedon reassembles his picks up right where the first left off. The Avengers squadâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Iron Man (Robert banter is Whedon-ly witty. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buffyâ&#x20AC;? mastermind really nails Ultron, and Spader wastes none of the capricious dialogue offered to him. Marvelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comic book movies have typically suffered from lackluster villainy (see every Iron Man), save Tom Hiddlestonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Loki. Ultron is whimsically badass, as all good comic book supervillains bent on world domination/annihilation should be. Downey gets all the love, but Hemsworth may be the most underrated of the current super-actors. His charmingly arrogant Norse god gets the sequelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MVP prize last held by the Hulk. Sadly, the angry green giant regressed in the sequel. Where The Avengers solved the Hulk conundrum, Age of Ultron returns him to grunting, inhuman form.

A sour green Hulk is a minor complaint that gets lost among the sequelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s numerous charms, but his amusing presence contributed a great deal to the first filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rewatchability. Despite its best efforts, Avengers: Age of Ultron is not as effortlessly entertaining as its predecessor. Age of Ultron never drags, but feels too weighed down by second-film-darkness syndrome, Ă la Empire Strikes Back. Nothing against the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lesser members, but several sequences involving the Hawkeye and Banner/Romanoff romantic subplots will be future fodder for bathroom breaks and fast forwarding.

Imperfections and all, Avengers: Age of Ultron again shows how masterfully Whedon plays the notes of a summer blockbuster. Action, humor and heart aplenty, his Avengers duo is a blueprint for how to do giant superhero crossovers for the big screen. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope Zack Snyder, tasked with the upcoming Batman v. Superman behemoth, has been taking a lot of notes. f

Treasure and Superheros Culture Clash and World Domination Entertain

By Drew Wheeler KUMIKO, THE TREASURE HUNTER (NR) A cinematic curiosity from the Zellner Brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;David directs, both Nathan and David write and actâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter is based on an urban legend about Takako Konishi, who the media reported died in 2001 while searching for the treasure buried in 1996â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fargo. (The truth behind Konishiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, a suicide, is far less quirky and infinitely sadder.) The Zellners run with this legend as their lonely, deluded protagonist, Kumiko (Academy Award nominee Rinko Kikuchi), leaves her dead-end job and badgering mother in Tokyo while setting out for the frigid wilds of Minnesota and North Dakota. Think Wild without the sex, drugs and self-discovery; actually, think more Into the Wild.

Kumiko is fueled by the grainy VHS vision of Steve Buscemi burying more money than she has ever seen; she even stitches a treasure map. What she discovers is less adventure and more quixotic journey. An unhelpful good Samaritan (Shirley Venard) offers to take her to the Mall of America; a kindhearted cop (director David) seeks a translator at a Chinese buffet.

As evidenced by the escaping moviegoers, Kumiko is a curious watch. Its synopsis sounds more quirkily humorous than eccentrically dramatic, and Kumiko can be

Last month, Flagpole delivered news of the Neutral Milk Hotel show, the planning for which has been in the works for months, though Carter says, “I’ve been begging Jeff [Mangum] to do a show here for years.”

Organizers admit the concert will serve as a test of Orange Twin’s limited resources. Nearly 100 volunteers have helped in various capacities to prepare for the event —for example, by clearing brush, arranging shuttle service from the parking area at nearby J.J. Harris Elementary and signing on to help maintain order during the show itself.

Others have donated their professional skills to the project. In a show of Orange Twin’s community aspect, Neutral Milk Hotel’s Scott Spillane, a carpenter by trade, helped build the brand new stage on which the band will perform.

That communal spirit has characterized the Elephant 6 collective since its ramshackle beginnings. Sunday’s concert is an unabashed E6 blowout, with stalwarts Circulatory System, Music Tapes, Elf Power, Thimble Circus and Apples in Stereo’s Robert Schneider set to perform alongside Mangum and his high-profile crew.

As gentle Hawaiian music floats through the farmhouse kitchen, Carter says Neutral Milk Hotel’s triumphant return, as well as the local response to the news of Sunday’s show—tickets sold out quickly, though Carter hints there may be a few more available closer to the show—prove that the twin spirits of Orange Twin and E6 are alive and well.

“Nothing stays the same,” she admits. “People have grown older. There are more wounds to lick.” But, she adds, surveying her surroundings: “It’s still very magical.” f See more photos of the Orange Twin property at flagpole.com.

GCC and AYS Showcase Young Talent

hildren of all backgrounds find their musical home at Georgia Children’s Chorus (GCC), an Athens-based choral organization that teaches kids to grow musically while promoting lasting friendships.

Currently, GCC has 117 members from nine surrounding counties. GCC accepts children ages 8–18 who are placed through an audition process into two different choirs based on their skill level and maturity.

“Our desire is to help young children pursue choral excellence,” says GCC director Carol Reeves.

and Gretel this fall and will also perform in Washington, D.C. at the National Festival of the States this summer, an event which commemorates the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II and the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War. That theme of peace will shape GCC’s spring concert, as well. This year’s tagline, “Imagine the Music,” builds off a single, simple idea, according to Reeves. “A lot of the songs… are about peace,” she says. “Our theme has been to imagine the difference you can make through music.”

In an effort to raise money and build a larger audience, GCC is holding its second

Every Tuesday, GCC meets at UGA’s Hugh Hodgson School of Music to practice.

During rehearsals, members are taught a variety of musical styles, which Reeves calls an “eclectic, multicultural” curriculum. “We do a lot of gospel and songs in Hebrew, Latin and German,” she says. “We love for them to learn all of the different cultures.”

Reeves believes music, like language, is a vital skill for children to learn at a young age. A foundation in music helps children to excel in other areas of their lives such as academics and social interactions, she says: “Music develops discipline, poise, self confidence and all of these side benefits, as well as the musical skills.”

Although teaching children to become better musicians is a huge component of GCC, Reeves says what happens behind the music is much more important. “I see kids bonding together that might not ever get together,” she says. “I see them connecting with other kids, and looking after other kids.”

Sarah Rawls, a GCC alumni and current student at UGA, recalls her experience in the chorus as a positive one. “[GCC] fosters a love of music, and it fosters a community that comes with that,” says Rawls. “I loved it.”

Following GCC’s spring concert on Tuesday, May 12, the chorus has big things on the horizon. GCC will sing with the UGA Opera in its performance of Hansel

The top prize includes 10 gift certificates of $100 each to a variety of local Athens restaurants, including Five & Ten and Last Resort Grill; the second prize includes five gift certificates of $50 each to restaurants including Viva! Argentine Cuisine and The Pine.

There are other youth-focused music events in Athens’ near future. Listeners with more instrumental taste can attend the Athens Youth Symphony’s (AYS) concert on May 17. The AYS is comprised of high school students from in and around Athens-Clarke County.

“Athens Youth Symphony concerts are great events for family outings,” says AYS publicity chair Kathy Lewis. “Young people can see and hear what is possible [through] hard work and collaboration with others.” f

“My decision was to book bands that I wanted to be there and to book bands that excite me. With that came some bigger bands, but we’re not trying to toss U2 on there.”

According to Sweetwood, crafting the festival’s lineup is a careful process: “If someone likes The Strokes… we have bands [on the lineup] like Built to Spill, [who] have been around a long time and have probably influenced bands like The Strokes.

“There’s almost a subliminal message [in the lineup],” Sweetwood adds. “There’s a… message to fans that says, ‘You should be there at 2 p.m., because this band is going to be the next Interpol or the next Strokes.’”

Indeed, Shaky Knees is designed for music lovers. Sweetwood credits much of the event’s success (as well the emergence of its country-focused spin-off festival, Shaky Boots, which will be held May 16 and 17 at Kennesaw State University) to the “cohesiveness of the lineup… [It appeals] to more people than just the party aspect.”

“Since year one, we’ve had over 60 percent of the ticket buyers come from out of town, which we’re pretty proud of, since it’s a city festival and not out in a field in Tennessee,” says Sweetwood, adding that he hopes others outside of Atlanta will continue to take notice of what Shaky Knees has to offer in the coming years.

With all the work it takes to organize and maintain an increasingly prominent and complex music festival, one might think Sweetwood loses his fair share of sleep, but it’s not so, says the fest’s fearless organizer. “I don’t have anxiety,” he says. “I have excitement.” f

Athens Hip Hop Continues to Thrive Plus, More Music News and Gossip

By Gordon Lamb threatsandpromises@flagpole.com BACK 2 THE BASICS: Longtime Athens MC Yung C.U.Z. released his newest mixtape a couple of weeks ago. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s titled Loyalty and was produced and is hosted by Machii.

Guest MCs include Tru Thought, 3ft, Loyal, Epic Collosso, CWhite, 1Take, RedRum, Rob Bace and Gmoney. Standout tracks are â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gone Shine,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;How I Rockâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Echoes.â&#x20AC;? The only thing on the tape that gets a little tiresome is the overuse of the gunshot sound effect. I mean, I get it, but artistically it stretches the point a little bit and ultimately distracts from the music itself. Search â&#x20AC;&#x153;Machiiâ&#x20AC;? on datpiff. com to stream and download, and check out more Yung C.U.Z. at reverbnation. com/YungCUZ11.

DA RULER: Athens rapper Dictator continues to release new tracks one by one and just took the leash off a tune titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Summa.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s off an upcoming full-length named Shoulda Had A Verse, and as expected, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hard-spitting number from one of the most consistent hip hop artists in town.

Check it and others at soundcloud.com/ dictatortharuler.

APPLY YOURSELF: Athensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Yung C.U.Z. premier hip hop impresario, Montu Miller, is accepting applications for artists interested in performing at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hot Corner Festival. The event is an annual recognition of the history and culture of the historically black business center at the intersection of Hull and Washington streets. The parameters for performers are pretty broad, so drop him a line via athfactor@gmail.com for an application.

If you miss this, you can catch â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em at Go Bar May 16 with Mouth andâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;if the good Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s willing and the creek donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t riseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The Rodney Kings and Waitress. In related news, mega-trio Shade (which shares guitarist Phelan Lavelle with Crunchy) is set to record its next album in late May at Chase Park Transduction, and you can catch the band live way before that at the Caledonia Lounge on May 6 (aka Seis de Mayo), where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll share a bill with former Athenians Justin Flowers and Al Cargileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CCR Headcleaner project.

STRENUOUS ACTIVITY: In semi-related news, Mouth just released a self-titled EP. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sloppy, sorta gritty, definitely lo-fi and pretty damn cool. It mainly lies on that yellow line painted in the mid-1990â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s between second-wave pop-emo (e.g. The Promise Ring) and slacker college-rock as defined by people way too old to be in college (e.g. Guided By Voices).

Like, it lies flat across the line and mixes both up in a pretty pleasing way. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really all I can say about it, but isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that quite enough? Sure it is. Dig it at mouthathens.band camp.com.

BUY NOW OR CRY LATER: Tickets are moving swiftly for the Bar Tab 5 benefit at the Georgia Theatre on Tuesday, May 12. The show will raise awareness and funds for the Garrie Vereen Roadie Fund administered by Nuçiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Space. Vereen was the decades-long equipment manager for Widespread Panic who, sadly, died by his own hand in early 2011.

record review Redstone Ramblers: Graveyard Gospel (Independent Release) For their new album, Redstone Ramblers vocalist and guitarist Mark Wilmot and bassist Mike Flynn recruited what seems like nearly every notable name in Athens roots music. Graveyard Gospel sounds like an early-evening bonfire in late summer, a cheery gathering of friends pickinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and grinninâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; their way through a case of something cheap and cold.

Bluesy and free, Graveyard Gospelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charm lies largely in its guest list, from Claire Campbell to Levi Lowrey to Col. Bruce Hampton, who is responsible for the albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single spoken-word track. They all sound like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having a blast, even if the songs feel unfinished and the mixes are often rough.

The albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rawness is its greatest strength and its biggest liability; songs like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thinkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bout Drinkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? lend themselves to looseness, while â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crossroads Fine,â&#x20AC;? with its arrhythmic guitar solo, just seems sloppy. The Ramblers are at their best when they embrace pure pathos, as on the weeper â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crawled in the Bottle,â&#x20AC;? featuring Bloodkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Daniel Hutchens, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coulda Stayed,â&#x20AC;? a gentle, accordion-laced lament thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really quite lovely.

Then there’s Zappa Plays Zappa, which features Dweezil and his band putting a fresh spin on Frank’s freaky oeuvre.
