Lessons from the Session Gov. Deal Really Knows How to Create Jobs

By Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com Now that the General Assembly has adjourned and the bills have either been signed or vetoed, what lessons can we take away from this latest legislative session? I can think of a few.

Lesson One: Gov. Nathan Deal is the expert when it comes to creating jobs.

Overall, Georgia’s unemployment rate is not that impressive. Last August and September, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, we ranked dead last with the highest jobless rate among all 50 states.

That ranking did improve a little in subsequent months, but as of March Georgia was still ranked in the bottom quarter of states for its unemployment rate.

When it comes to individual jobs, however, we have a governor who’s a dynamo at finding high-paying positions for state lawmakers. Deal named Rep. Lynne Riley as his state revenue commissioner, a job that pays $158,000 a year. He appointed House Majority Leader Larry O’Neal as the state’s tax tribunal judge, a position paying more than $142,000 a year. He nominated Rep. Jay Roberts as the Department of Transportations’s new planning director, a position whose prior occupant was paid $130,000 a year.

The job creation doesn’t stop there, either. Whenever Deal hires a legislator, that creates a vacancy that must be filled in a special election. These elections create more jobs for pollsters, political consultants, and advertising executives.

Lesson Two: Despite all their talk about wanting to eliminate “burdensome regulations” on businesses, lawmakers are more than willing to keep those regulations in place for favored industries.

One of the sacred cows is the alcoholic beverage industry. Georgia has some of the

strictest laws in the country limiting the activities of alcohol manufacturers, distributors and retailers. Craft brewers and brewpub operators have tried to get some of those regulations loosened so that they could sell more of their products directly to consumers and their customers could take those products home to drink later.

It is a situation where some deregulation could well attract more of these startup businesses to Georgia and possibly create more jobs. Lawmakers, however, have consistently refused to approve any major changes in the beer and wine laws. The latest attempt came this session when Sen. Hunter Hill (R-Atlanta) introduced a bill to help out the craft brewers and brew pubs.

Once again, the General Assembly kept the current set of regulations largely intact.

Lesson Three: Legislators spend a lot of time obsessing about animals. They passed a bill this year that declares the white-tailed deer to be the official state mammal. In earlier sessions, they adopted similar bills that designated an official state amphibian (green tree frog), state fish (largemouth bass), state reptile (gopher tortoise) and state game bird (Bobwhite quail).

Other animals did not receive that kind of treatment. For years, it had been illegal to trap raccoons in the 38 counties that make up the northern third of the state, although it has been OK to set traps for other fur-bearing mammals. Legislators passed, and Deal signed, a bill that removes the raccoon trapping ban in North Georgia, bringing that area into line with the counties in the middle and southern regions.

If legislators devoted as much time to human beings without health insurance as they do to animals, the rural hospital crisis would have been solved years ago. f

You Down With GOP? Yeah You Know Me Plus, Chickens, Business News, Foster Homes and the Wild Rumpus

Seeing as how we’re merely 18 months away from a presidential election, a number of GOP contenders will be on hand (after feting big donors in Atlanta, of course).

So far, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is scheduled to speak at an 8:30 a.m. breakfast Friday; Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s speaking slot is at 3 p.m. Friday; and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz will deliver the keynote at a 7 p.m. banquet. Other speakers will include Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal and Sen. Johnny Isakson on Friday, and newly elected Sen. David Perdue on Saturday (times TBD).

In addition, Athenian John Padgett, who is responsible for bringing this convention to the People’s Republic of Athens-Clarke County, will be up for re-election to a second term as state party chairman. He’s an ace fundraiser and played a big role in Republicans’ statewide sweep in 2014, but he has been dogged by accusations of racial discrimination and—like all Republicans these days—insuffiDon’t laugh—Ted Cruz really is going to be in Athens this weekend. cient ideological purity.

A veto would be futile, and Denson indicated after the vote that she won’t stand in the way. “You guys can go buy your chickens now,” she said.

“I’m naming mine after you,” Commissioner Melissa Link told the mayor.

“I’m very flattered,” Denson said. “I was named after a horse, so it’s nothing new. My mother had a horse named Nancy.”

In Your Business: Southern Brewing Co., the new brewery on Collins Industrial Boulevard, is shooting for May 14 as the date of its first tour. Check their Facebook page for updates. In related news, Gov. Nathan Deal recently signed the lite version of the Beer Jobs Act, which means local breweries will be able to fill up growlers for tour-goers to take home effective July 1. And Creature Comforts is now offering a double IPA, Cosmik Debris, on draft. (I’m no cicerone, but it’s pretty tasty.)

A J. Crew factory store will be one of the retail tenants in the Georgia Heights development at Broad and Lumpkin streets. It’s expected to open in August. The tech incubator Four Athens has hired Sean Reid in the new position of education director to expand class offerings, such as week-long coding camps in June and July.

net for listings.) The events are sponsored by Home in 5, a partnership between public and private foster care services to increase foster care awareness and support for Department of Family and Children Services in Athens.

More than 260 children need foster homes in Athens, but fewer than 20 homes are available. The number of children has risen from 120 in January last year, a rise that has never occurred at this rate, Tim Johnson, executive director of Family Connection/Community in Schools, said at a press conference at City Hall May 7.

The rise is the result of 10 years of cuts to DFCS funding, Johnson said, but it is also a sign of progress for the department. A 24/7 toll-free phone number has made filing reports of suspected child abuse easier, as opposed to earlier years where calls had to be made during business hours.

The addition of the phone number resulted in an increased number of calls that led to verified cases of child abuse.

Because more children need to be placed in foster homes, the increased number has exacerbated an already stretched supply. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a crisis in Clarke County and communities around us where we have a shortage of foster homes,â&#x20AC;? said Dawn Criss, the director We have a crisis in of DFCS in Clarke County.

Clarke County and A statewide shortcommunities around us age does exist, but the where we have a shortage situation in Athens is worse than many of foster homes. other communities, Johnson said, so children often have to be sent to other communities to be placed in a foster home. The more quickly children are placed in a safe home, the more likely they are to recover after a traumatic event, Criss said. Relocating a child to another community adds to the trauma, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need homes in our community, and we need them now,â&#x20AC;? Criss said.

Foster home parent Brody Bearden said he hopes that eventually Athens will have a surplus of foster care families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The need is great. I would love to see that statistic reversed,â&#x20AC;? Bearden said. [Evelyn Andrews]

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Wild Rumpus: Each year, Timi Conley hears the same question while planning Athensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Halloween parade: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Wild Rumpus going to be like this year?â&#x20AC;? For 2015, he has an answer: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. What are you going to do?â&#x20AC;?

After six years of growing the wildly popular costume parade into a festival with music and kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; activities, Conley (known for his roles in local bands Kite to the Moon, Abbey Road Live and Pigs on the Wing) is in need of some helping hands. Last year, more than 50 people volunteered in various ways to put the party together, but Conley still manages the majority of tasks during the year. After welcoming daughter Luna into the world in March, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready to take a small step back and coordinate with other organizers. In particular, he could use help with sponsorships and fundraisingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and, believe it or not, work needs to start now, even though Halloween is still six months away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to put out a call to creative individuals who have ideas, time and determination and let them contact me with their thoughts,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have my own ideas, but I love other ideas.â&#x20AC;?

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funds will go to Community Connection, which addresses the needs of low-income residents in Athens-Clarke and 12 surrounding counties through the 211 information hotline, HandsOn Northeast Georgia volunteer network and Non-Profit Development Alliance.

The parade will take place on Saturday, Oct. 31, and Conley wants to continue last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s setup by hosting a kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; event during the day and an after-party following the parade and outdoor show. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also organizing a ride for local bike enthusiasts.

Eventually, Conley envisions the Rumpus as Athensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mardi Gras, a weekend or weeklong celebration with events and parties surrounding the parade. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see satellite events at other locations, such as art venues, theaters and breweries. But he needs help to make it that extensive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wild Rumpus belongs to everybody. It belongs to Athens,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have become this unless it was in Athens.â&#x20AC;?

Conley can be reached at wildrumpus13@gmail.com.

History Booty St. Joseph’s Students Help Excavate Old Cobb House Site

By Terrell Austin

To

Terrell Austin

a middle-school student, second grade is ancient history, half a lifetime ago. But St. Joseph’s Catholic School seventh and eighth graders recently got the chance to visit their former elementary campus, on the corner of Prince Avenue and Pulaski Street, vacant since 2012.

In some ways the school grounds seemed frozen in time by the things left behind— clay sculptures, mosaic art, a cemetery for class hamsters and bricks painted with children’s names lining paths overgrown with jimson weed.

But the students weren’t there simply to mine forgotten treasure from their early school days. They were assisting with the exploration of the former site of an antebellum mansion that once stood on more than 20 acres stretching from the “road to Jefferson,” later named Prince Avenue, all the way to the north end of Pulaski Street. The project was an archeological dig on the grounds of the old T.R.R. Cobb House.

In May 1873, at age 51, Marion McHenry Lumpkin Cobb sold the large Greek revival house where she had lived since 1844, when her parents gave it to her as a wedding present upon her marriage to Thomas Reade Rootes Cobb. In this house, she bore six children, buried three and sent her husband off to a war he was instrumental in fomenting and from which he would never return.

She also sold a corner parcel with a small structure on it to the Diocese of Savannah for the establishment of Athens’ first Catholic Church. Over the years, the house changed hands many times and was

used as a fraternity house, a dentist’s office, a boarding house and, from 1909–1915, the private residence of the Dobbs family, whose name can still be seen inscribed adjacent to the sidewalk on Prince Avenue.

In 1962, 90 years after the church founders purchased land from Mrs. Cobb, the church bought her house for use as a rectory and later as a convent. By 1984, the need for a new school building and the prohibitive cost of the upkeep prompted the church to offer the house, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, for free to anyone who could move it. After local efforts foundered, Stone Mountain Memorial Association stepped in and transported the house to become part of its commemorative tourist attraction, because of T.R.R. Cobb’s instrumental role in the Civil War as ardent secessionist, brigadier general and primary author of the Confederate Constitution.

Once the house was reassembled at Stone Mountain, though, the association was unable to muster the funds to restore it, and it sat, surrounded by a chain link fence and with tarps, for 19 years. In 2004, the deterioration of the historic property was brought to the attention of the WatsonBrown Foundation by the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation, and the foundation began working with local historic preservationists to find a suitable new site for the house in Athens. The house was moved to 175 Hill St., 200 yards from its original site, and meticulously restored to its 1860 appearance. It opened in 2007 as the T.R.R. Cobb House Museum, offering a variety of free educational programs to local schools.

St. Joseph’s students (l-r) Allie McClure, Gemma Alvarez, Allison Ramirez, Brandon Ponce and Sierra Curry retrieve an artifact, as archaeologist Tom Gresham looks on.

The April 2015 dig was a partnership between the T.R.R. Cobb House Museum and St. Joseph’s school, led by the local firm Southeastern Archeological Services (SAS).

With the property in flux and vacant, the museum education staff and St. Joseph’s teachers saw a brief opportunity to explore the site where the Cobb house stood from the time it was built, around 1830, until 1985.

As the museum began working with local historian Gary Doster to compile a year-by-year history of the house and its inhabitants, the archeologists determined the approximate location of the house and developed an excavation plan. The students who would be participating were briefed on the scientific methods employed in the field and were prepared for a unique opportunity to apply them in a historical context.

SAS warned staff and students that, as with any dig, the effort might yield little more than pieces of broken bricks and glass. The removal of the house, the grading of the site and the construction of the school might have eradicated most traces of the past. Still, the opportunity was there to investigate and potentially answer questions regarding the original structure and features of the house that

weren’t previously documented. In addition, surprisingly little archaeological work has been done at historic sites in Athens.

In the case of the T.R.R. Cobb House, there was ample known history of the house to provide context for any finds. At the very least, the operation would be fun and educational and students would have the chance to participate in a real dig.

After some exploratory shovel tests around the property, the SAS team hit the jackpot, locating an underground root cellar, projected to be 18 feet by 18 feet with the floor 5 feet below the surface. Even more exciting was the discovery, a few days later, of an old well shaft about 13 feet in diameter. Once these two features were identified, almost every shovelful yielded something of interest: an intact F.W. Fitch and Co. hair tonic bottle from the 1930s, shards of china with colorful patterns dating from the 1840s to 1915, an atlatl (dart) weight and a tiny but unmistakable bare bottom of a broken china doll.

The students screened dirt, washed and organized artifacts and kept field notes.

As objects came clean in the plastic tubs of muddy water under the trees at their old school, it wasn’t hard to imagine a fraternity boy getting ready for a date, a Cobb or Dobbs table laid for dinner, a prehistoric hunter carving a precise groove into a piece of soapstone or a young girl carefully changing the clothes of a delicate doll.

So You Want to Raise Chickens?

A H o w - t o Gu i d e

By Allison Floyd news@flagpole.com

F

Coop vs. Tractor

rom her homestead about a mile outside of Statham, a few minutes west of Athens, Cyndi Ball teaches people how to grow their own food.

“If people are allowed to have dogs, they should also be allowed to own chickens,” Ball says. “You may not be able to curl up with a chicken at night, but then again, a dog can’t give you eggs.”

Ball started raising chickens years ago and today teaches workshops in how it’s done. (She also teaches a myriad other homesteading skills, such as beekeeping, from her seven-acre Lazy B Farm.) “It’s comforting to know what you are eating and how it was raised,” she says.

You can grow your own food whether you live on a farm or in an apartment, Ball says—you may just have to do it a bit differently. “I am so glad more people are learning about how to raise their own chickens,” she says. “It’s something anyone can do with a little knowledge.”

A coop stays in one place; a tractor (a rolling coop) you must move around day-to-day. A tractor fertilizes the grass underneath and requires little maintenance or cleanup, but it must be moved every day. A permanent coop can allow you to add lights for heat and may provide more security from predators, but it requires some cleaning.

For birds that are confined with no outdoor run, give each one at least five square feet. In Athens-Clarke County, coops larger than 25 square feet require a permit.

Fencing, including the cover, is more to keep predators out than keep chickens in. Chickens don’t try to break out much, but a hawk, raccoon or possum will try to sneak in to steal young birds or eggs. Chickens are most defenseless at night, when some of these predators are more likely to go after them.

Where to Start

When choosing a breed, you’ve got a couple of decisions to make: Do you want chicks of your own? Do you plan to eat the meat or only the eggs?

After centuries of breeding chickens for their ability to lay eggs (and not necessarily the desire to care for those eggs), many hens don’t brood. A heritage variety may be more likely to have the brooding instinct.

Here’s a look at some of the best known breeds: The Plymouth Rock is one of the most popular breeds, especially for newbies. They are docile, can grow larger than nine pounds, lay brown eggs and are good meat birds.

The Rhode Island Red is a rust-feathered chicken that is what many people picture when they think of backyard chickens. Reds don’t get as big as some other breeds but are good for meat and lay brown eggs.

The Leghorn is a prolific layer of white eggs but is not good for meat. It can be noisier than other breeds and does not typically brood.

Athens-Clarke County’s new backyard chicken law will take effect sometime in the next week—if it hasn’t already by the time you’re reading this—depending on when and if Mayor Nancy Denson signs it. It allows residents to own up to six hens (no roosters). Contact the ACC Planning Department at 706-613-3515 for details about the law.

You can buy chicks in the spring at most feed-and-seed stores or by mail order, but the best few weeks of the year just passed. Chickens start laying eggs when they are about 5 months old, but production drops off in winter, when the days are shorter. Laying requires 14 hours of light a day. In other words, if you get a chick now, you may not get many (or any) eggs for 10 months. Of course, if you wait until next spring, you won’t get any eggs for 10 months, either.

A good guide to consider is Storey’s Guide to Raising Chickens by Gail Damerow.

Breeds

Huge Jersey Giants—they grow up to 13 pounds and are popular among people raising chickens for meat.

Ameracaunas have fluffy feathers around their heads and lay blue eggs. They are good pets and good layers, but not meat chickens.

Feeds Some experts advise that chickens eat only commercial feed, but they are omnivores, and many people also give their chickens table scraps for treats and to avoid wasting food. It’s important to make sure chickens get enough protein, and commercial feed is designed to have the right balance. A laying hen will eat about a quarter-pound of feed a day and should have access to food all the time. Don’t neglect to give the birds access to clean water.

Security Dogs can be a backyard chicken’s best friend or its worst enemy. Puppies raised with chickens often will defend “their birds” from other dogs, but domesticated dogs will kill chickens if they have no attachment to them.

Also, biosecurity has always been important, but is even more vital lately, as avian influenza spreads across Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa. Make sure visitors cover their shoes, and don’t track mud from one chicken yard to another.

Building your flock could have some bumps along the way. For Ball’s family, one memorable mistake came 14 years ago. The family had been successfully raising chickens for a couple of months; then they first allowed the birds out in a run. A frog was in the run, so Ball and her young children watched with curiosity to see how the birds would react to the amphibian.

They tore it to pieces.

“They ate him. We didn’t realize chickens were meateaters. We learned that day,” Ball said. f

Community Through Farming Suzanne Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Class Is More than Organic Ag 101

By Jodi Cash news@flagpole.com Suzanne Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell teaches University of Georgia students about more than just organic and sustainable farming practices; she teaches them about community.

Each spring semester, she teaches Organic Agricultural Systems, a class offered to juniors and seniors, many of whom are horticulture or agriculture students. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s key to attaining a certificate in organic agriculture, and for good reason.

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell provides her students with more than just Organic Ag 101. She teaches students the philosophy behind organic and sustainable agriculture (and the difference between the two). She teaches them the history of those practices. She teaches farm planning and the business of owning a farmâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;how to sustain it and market products. She then provides students with the opportunity to take what they learn to the field. Students spend time growing plants organically in a plot of the UGArden and in the UGArden greenhouse.

McDonald and several of her classmates also received scholarships through their class to attend this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Georgia Organics Conference, which was an exceptional learning, growth and networking opportunity for the students.

In Organic Agricultural Systems, students gain knowledge they could take into a career or simply to their home gardens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will use fish fertilizer,â&#x20AC;? says Alyson Wells, another student of Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. It yields results without the hazards of products like Miracle-Gro. For the second year, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell brought the course to an end with a luncheon at The Georgia Center. The UGA hotel and conference centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive chef, Rob Harrison, brought what the class grew in the field to the table for students to enjoy. Using as much of what the class grew as possible, Harrison whipped up a gourmet threecourse meal comprised almost entirely of ingredients from Georgia farms.

Agriculture students Alyson Wells (left) and Sierra McDonald at the UGArden.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like I could go back to my notes and use that as a great guide to start a farm, for sure,â&#x20AC;? says Sierra McDonald, a horticulture student who just completed Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean, we had every aspect of it covered, from farmers markets to marketing to field work to pathology. She covers everything; she knows her stuff.â&#x20AC;?

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell also branches outside of her own classroom and the university organic garden to show her students what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about. She takes students to Woodland Gardens, an organic fruit, vegetable and flower farm in Winterville, to show them an organic farm in full force. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was really cool,â&#x20AC;? McDonald says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just being able to talk to the farm manager there and seeing what went on from start to finish, and who they supply and how they do itâ&#x20AC;Ś I got to ask her questions that I would want to know if I owned an organic farm, like how much do you profit? When do you need to start planting these things?

Do you grow what they want you to grow or do you grow what you want to grow?

Or do you grow what makes you the most money?â&#x20AC;?

Although they use locally sourced and organic ingredients when possible, the nature and expense of those foods can be prohibitive for Harrisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purposes. He sees the spring luncheon as a welcome deviation from the standard wants and needs of alumni rolling into town for game days or flocking in masses for conventions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a unique experience,â&#x20AC;?

Harrison says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was looking forward to it, because it breaks the mold of what we normally doâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;chicken picatta and the same monotonous kind of food all the time.

Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to have somebody throw you a curve ball.â&#x20AC;?

After a semester of introducing every element of organic farming, the luncheon tied it all together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The end-of-the-semester meal was a chance to celebrate all their hard work growing crops,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and provide a moment to recognize that good food, prepared with skill, is a surefire way to bring people within and beyond the UGA community closer together.â&#x20AC;? f Read the online version of this column at flagpole. com for a recipe from Rob Harrison.

Vic Varney Returns to His Old Stomping Grounds

Shana Falana Finds Her Center Upstate

By Dan Mistich music@flagpole.com

By Marshall Yarbrough music@flagpole.com you’ve got places like Hendershot’s. There’s a whole generation of people that came up with The B-52s and The Method Actors and Pylon, and they still go out! A lot of them are still really interested in music… but don’t want to wait until 11:30 p.m. for a band to come on. The fact that there’s now a culture that appeals to people other than kids is great. That’s kind of new. It used to be all kids. Twenty-five would have been considered old in the audience.

Flagpole: It’s been years since you’ve played Athens regularly. What have you been up to?

Vic Varney: I moved to New York in 2005. I’ve been teaching English at NYU, and have been playing up there at a club

FP: When the Method Actors retrospective was released, Peter Buck had some kind words to say about you and the band.

VV: [Peter] wrote the liner notes. They were very generous… Peter and I go back a long way. We are probably the only two people I know that were really into Nick Drake while he was still alive [laughs]. It means more to me that he wrote those notes—not because he’s rich and famous, but because he’s an acute listener. He’s a total record geek…

When you make music not just to make money, you are making it for the very few people who are hearing what you are doing. [Peter’s endorsement] means a lot. But it doesn’t mean any more to me than the few people that I will reach in the audience… When you get to where I am, you’re playing for a very few number of people. That’s an advantage of not being famous: People come to see you without any expectations.

called The Living Room. I’ve been back [to Athens] pretty regularly. But most of musical life has shifted over… I’ve been recording an album [in Nashville] with David LaBruyere, who used to live in Athens. That will probably be out sometime this year, but I don’t know when. It sounds great, though.

I’m really excited about recording.

FP: How would you compare Athens now to the time when you were most active here?

VV: Athens has definitely evolved into being a town that is much more friendly to non-students than it was before. And that’s code for “adults.” When we were coming up, say 1979 to around 1985, a lot of bands came pouring into Athens that weren’t from here… It wasn’t really defined by a sound, per se. A club scene grew up, and there was infrastructure to support a lot of bands. And that is still going on.

One thing that has really evolved is the way downtown has bifurcated. As Clayton slopes down, you get one set of kids. You get Manhattan, Flicker and 40 Watt. As it levels off around the Globe up toward College Avenue, it gets really Greek-y. So, that is an interesting phenomenon. [Then]

FP: What can people expect from your solo show?

VV: I think the one thing that people that are familiar with The Method Actors will appreciate is that it’s about the song.

The Method Actors were very loud, electric and reflective of a very particular period, a very particular culture. [I’ve] evolved out of that and am doing my own thing. I don’t really belong to a school, or a style, or anything like that. I just use that as a launching pad. It’s evolved in a great variety of ways…

I’m really invested in the work. I’m not a genre artist. I get asked: “What kind of music is it?” I always think: “That’s a good fucking question.” f

U

pstate New York has long held an appeal for city-dwelling artists burnt out on the Big Apple grind.

Nearly 50 years ago, Bob Dylan and The Band scratched out an escapist blueprint, holing up in Dylan’s Woodstock home to record The Basement Tapes. Echoes of those sessions, as well as the epochal festival that Dylan and company were trying to ignore, still surface in the psychedelic roster of Warwick, NY’s Woodsist label, or in articles in the New York Times real estate section noting the northern migration of the creative class and anointing this or that hamlet the new Brooklyn-on-the-Hudson.

Songwriter Shana Falana’s 2008 exit from New York City came after an unhealthy stint in its most buzzed-about borough.

Falana dropped her debut full-length, Set Your Lightning Fire Free.

With the new album, released by New Paltz-based Team Love Records, Falana says she made a conscious effort to merge the different styles present on her earlier recordings, which ranged from synth-driven songs with abstract, wordless vocals to guitar-backed love songs in the Cat Power vein. The goal wasn’t to narrow her range, she explains, but rather to let her different songwriting tendencies sit side by side and trust the listener to embrace the diversity.

“Part of it,” she says, “is just that, as a lover of music myself, I do like diversity from an artist. I get bored with one genre, and even onstage I would get bored if I were just gonna play a whole set of heavy rock or ambient music.”

“I was a bit of a mess in Brooklyn for the five years that I lived there,” she says, “so I just kind of dragged my ass upstate to get sober, not really knowing what my plan was gonna be.”

Falana first landed in New Paltz, a college town halfway between New York and Albany, where she became involved in a burgeoning community organized around the O+ Festival, an annual music and arts event founded in 2010. While in New Paltz, Falana also met drummer Mike Amari; the two soon began creative and romantic partnerships.

Speaking from the highway en route to a show in Los Angeles, Falana recounts her creative trajectory, which began on the West Coast in the 1990s.

“I moved from San Francisco in 2003 to Brooklyn to go after my own music career,” she says. While in Brooklyn, she collaborated with songwriter Nicole Pinon in a band called Skirt; once upstate, she was ready to make music on her own.

In 2011 and 2012, Falana released a string of self-issued recordings, including the In the Light EP, as well as Channel and Velvet Pop, both of which featured recordings made upstate as well as songs recorded in Brooklyn and San Francisco over the past decade-and-a-half. Finally, last month,

Lightning Fire hews closest to the reverb-heavy aesthetic of the near-ambient recordings. Falana, who played most of the instruments, layers her tracks to form a dense, enveloping sound. Closely harmonized vocals give the songs an added heft, even as Falana’s delivery shifts from New Age-y (opener “Gone”) to punk-bratty (“Anything”). Amari’s drums—understated or driving, as the occasion commands—lay a solid foundation, and Jane Scarpantoni’s cello is a welcome acoustic respite from the synthesized assault.

A few years ago, Falana and Amari moved from New Paltz a half-hour north to Kingston, NY, after Amari took a job booking shows at a new venue there. The two have since worked to foster a local scene, bringing in acts from New York City and around the country. “We’re living there; we want to be a part of the music scene,” Falana says. “So, we’re sort of building it.” f

NEWS-N-DEBUTS: Due to another band having already put the name into play, Athens band Golden Brown shall henceforth be known as Golden Eels. Although the group features a crack team of musicians, the whole thing seems to spring from leader Neil Goldenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brain. You can take a deep peek inside via the Eelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new album, Periscopes In the Air, which has all the earmarks of a treasured, mysterious garage-sale find. The recordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s central artistic statement is melody, melody and more melody. It only veers into weirdness sparingly, and at 13 tracks long, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than enough material for the coming summer season.

The band also includes Andy Pope, Taylor Sproull and Creston Spiers. Periscopes features contributions from Helen Rhinehart, Doug Stanley, Kyle Spence, Stephen Keown and Neilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad, Lyman Golden. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available online at goldeneels.bandcamp.com and is soon to be on iTunes, etc. A vinyl release may happen in the coming months, which should coincide nicely with the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planned return to the stage sometime in July.

and a living room show in Athens on May 24. For details on each, and ticket sales to the living room show, see hopeforagoldensummer.com. Admission is $7, and each show is all-ages. In other news, Hope is crowdsourcing fan photos and video footage that folks may have shot during their recent tours. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to use this material to compile music videos, so if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got anything and are willing to share, drop them a line via hopeforagoldensummer@ gmail.com.

Chalk Fest Transforms Pavement into Canvas Plus, Environmental Painter Alan Campbell and Abstract Drawer Susan Cofer

All Around the World: As an expedition artist, Athensbased painter Alan Campbell has carved out a niche for himself by traveling to remote areas of the world and using his artwork as a medium to raise awareness of environmental issues. Currently on display at the Farmington Depot Gallery, his newest paintings were inspired through ongoing work on the barrier islands of coastal Georgia. Placing an emphasis on the vanishing Gullah-Geechee culture, the paintings depict sun-kissed waterfront scenes and natural, moss-covered landscapes distinct to the Lowcountry.

Since graduating with an MFA from UGA in 1975, Campbell has worked with large scientific research programs and nonprofits such as the Nature Conservancy, African Wildlife Foundation, Explorers Club and Ossabaw Foundation. His combined interest in science and art has driven him to visit vastly different terrains, journeying to Kenya, New Zealand, Italy, Chile, Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands.

Notable projects include capturing the snowy slopes and pastel-hued icebergs of Antarctica as a visiting artist with the U.S. Antarctic Program through a grant from the National Science Foundation, and documenting the lush biodiversity of the rainforest in Costa Rica and Peru as a visiting artist with the Organization for Tropical Studies.

A closing reception with the artist will be held at Farmington Depot Gallery on Friday, May 15 from 6â&#x20AC;&#x201C;9 p.m.

An opening reception will be held on Friday, May 15 from 6â&#x20AC;&#x201C;8 p.m. and will begin with an artist talk with Cofer at 6 p.m. in the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s auditorium. The exhibit will remain on view through Sunday, Aug. 30.

Pavement Pictures: Presented by the Athens Area Arts Council and Colors of Connection, the inaugural Classic City Chalk Fest is a two-day event celebrating the age-old tradition of street painting. Though chalkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vulnerability to the elements makes for an ephemeral art form, its impermanence is part of its lure. Because the final product cannot be preserved, chalk art is essentially a process-focused performance art that allows spectators to watch as artists slowly blend colors to create shadow and depth.

Kicking off festivities on Saturday, May 16 from 1â&#x20AC;&#x201C;4 p.m. at Creature Comforts, a half dozen local professional artists will transform the asphalt into canvas for an exhibit of pastel masterpieces. Following the artist showcase at 5 p.m., the festival will move across the street to CinĂŠ for a screening of Beyond the Walls, a documentary on the modern mural movement.

As artists and activists discuss conflicts and hot topics within their respective communitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; spread among Northern Ireland, Liberia, Argentina, Australia, El Salvador, West Bank and the U.S.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;commonalities demonstrate the strength of public murals simultaneously to unite community members and visually represent past or present social movements.

Organizers are suggesting a $7 donation, and the film will be followed by a panel discussion on the role and importance of public art.

On Sunday, May 17 from 11 a.m.â&#x20AC;&#x201C;3 p.m., the Classic City Chalk Fest will line up along Foundry Street for community members to make their own pavement pictures.

Reservations for primed 10-feet-by-10-feet spaces can be made for $20 and include a box of pastels. The fest coincides with the grand opening of the Classic Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sunday Center Market, which intends to host farmers, crafters, food trucks, live entertainment and kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities each Sunday through October, excluding home UGA football game weekends. This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lineup includes 40 vendors, seven food trucks, live music by Weekend Getaway and Will White, a puppet show and a bounce house.

Proceeds from the festival will benefit the Athens Area Arts Council and Colors of Connection, an organization that leads art-based projects in underserved or oppressed communities across the world. Visit classiccitychalkfest. com for guidelines, tips and registration. f

T

he stories and personalities behind the Morton Theatre building are coming back to life. Just don’t be surprised if some of the stories aren’t quite what you thought.

A much-anticipated documentary about the historic center of Athens’ African American community will be the featured presentation during the annual meeting of the Morton Theatre Co. board of directors, which meets at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 19 to introduce its new members. Following a short agenda—Morton Facilities Supervisor and Managing Director Lynn Green says it should take about 15 minutes—the board will screen the The Soul of Athens, directed by local filmmaker Keith Plummer.

The 27-minute documentary digs into the history of the building, which was built

by Monroe “Pink” Bowers Morton in 1910.

Morton, the son of a white man and an African-American woman, rose to prominence among contractors and builders in

gone. But one scoop Plummer was able to secure was an on-camera interview with Morton’s grandson, who now lives in Reno, NV but recalled spending time in the theater as a child. Green adds that she was giddy with excitement when she also had the chance to meet him, and spent most of a day following him around as he gave her his own tour of the Morton.

Unfortunately, Plummer adds, a box of photos and memorabilia of the Morton family, which was passed from generation to generation, has been lost. And while he’s heard stories of taped interviews with Morton that are archived by the city, nobody has been able to locate them.

So instead, Plummer fills in the background of the building with stories from prominent Athenians, such as mayors Nancy Denson, Gwen O’Looney and Doc Eldridge, and others who served during the time the Morton was renovated and put back into use in the early 1990s.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ MAY 13, 2015

The Soul of Athens includes an interview with Charlie Morton, grandson of Pink Morton, who built the Morton Theatre in downtown Athens.

Georgia, and also built and owned several buildings in Athens. At one point, the Morton was much more than a theater—it was a thriving business center, serving as a hub for commerce and culture within Athens’ black community.

Plummer says that while the documentary focuses on the building, it’s the early uses of the structure that give it its personality and stories. Although there has been some history written about the Morton, he says, this is the first in-depth film about it. And as a result, Plummer says he often found himself piecing together stories and discovering that they sometimes weren’t exactly as they seemed.

“One of the things I found is, some things are lore and some things are true,” he says. “Like any documentary, you have to do some digging. A lot of the documentaries I do are on African-American topics, and there’s not a lot of footage or information on them.”

For example, while he had anecdotal evidence of performers who passed through the Morton, and at one point there were stories about them in one of Athens’ blackowned newspapers, those stories are long

“The building became where all the black professionals went, so I listed the people who are famous who came out of the building—at least, famous in Georgia,” says Plummer. “And then there’s the theater, and it had vaudeville shows and different kinds of shows, and then there was a fire and it was shut down. Then, the building went through its dilapidated period, and then there were people getting behind it to revive the building.”

Following a large SPLOST-funded reconstruction, the theater has since gone through another effort to bring the interior back to its original glory days, complete with historically accurate paint and decor, Green says. Having the documentary, she says, is like the icing on the cake. Along with the showing on the 19th, which is open to the public, the film will be shown again during the annual Hot Corner Festival at 11 a.m. June 13.

“We’re just excited the board was able to get the film done,” she says. “We’re happy to move forward with this project and finally able to see it… I believe it’s a piece that people from Athens will learn from, and they will be proud of.” f

reviews

comedy feels like prime VOD fodder in the current release model. Daniel Landsman (Black) heads the committee for his 20th high school reunion. Struggling at home and at work, Dan devises a plan singlehandedly to save the reunion. All he needs to do is land his class’s white whale, the coolest kid in the class of ’94, Oliver Lawless (Marsden), who also happens to be the national face of Banana Boat. He must be living the dream. Tricking his kindly, techMelissa McCarthy hit that continuously nophobe boss (the always welcome Jeffrey comes to mind whenever this trailer pops Tambor) and lovely wife (Kathryn Hahn), up on TV. The differences between these Dan heads to LA where a couple of nights of two female-centered buddy copmedies simdebauchery with Oliver end with an exclaply highlights the importance of behindmation point of a WTF moment. the scenes-talent. The Heat, directed by Now, Dan’s heroic dream sours, as the The Age of Adeline reunion weekend arrives.

Yes Man writers Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel make their directorial debut with this awkwardly comic look at the implosion of one man’s life. Black always benefits from roles like this one and Bernie, where he is required to act with differing levels of subtlety and not simply turn it up to a manic 11.

Marsden, too, gets Didn’t you used to be my babysitter? in some great work (the camera certainly loves him) as a charmer Paul Feig (Bridesmaids), had it. Hot Pursuit, whose best days ended with graduation. directed by Anne Fletcher (27 Dresses, The Unfortunately, Paul and Mogel’s script is Proposal, The Guilt Trip) with a couple of as confused as Dan and sometimes as lost sitcom writers, did not. Cancel the APB for as Oliver. The D Train may not wind up at this flick. the stop one expected, but the trip could be worse.

THE D TRAIN (R) Despite its big stars—Jack Black and James Marsden—this small THE AGE OF ADALINE (PG-13) Who is supposed to be the target audience for this romantic fantasy? Immediately bringing to mind Somewhere in Time and The Time Traveler’s Wife, The Age of Adaline follows a young woman, Adaline (Blake Lively), who stops aging after an auto accident coincides with a lightning strike. Unable to live a normal life, Adaline is hunted by the Feds and forced into the peripatetic life of the Incredible Hulk or Richard Kimble.

Eventually, Adaline’s daughter (Ellen Burstyn), out-ages her. But when Adaline meets Ellis (rising star Michiel Huisman), she considers settling down. Then she meets Ellis’ dad, William (Harrison Ford), who inexplicably happens to be the last guy with whom she almost settled down.

Meld the serendipities of romance with the unbelievability of fantasy, and you have the unwieldiness of Lee Toland Krieger’s followup to the less-likable-than-it-shouldhave-been Celeste & Jesse Forever. (How do you make Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg unappealing? Look no further for an answer.)

The Age of Adaline is a pretty picture with above-average performances from Lively and Ford, but some narrative missteps (that occasional VO is the worst since another Ford vehicle) lead the film to get rather soggy. Also, Anthony Ingruber, the actor who plays the young Ford, is so creepily uncanny in both looks and voice that it becomes distracting at a crucial moment in the film’s momentum. Has he been digitally created? Overdubbed? Apparently, the answer is neither.

The Age of Adaline will not last nearly as long as its protagonist, which is a shame for Lively, who still needs a landmark movie to graduate fully from “Gossip Girl.” f

Buddies, High School and Romantic Fantasy For Your Pleasure

By Drew Wheeler HOT PURSUIT (PG-13) These sorts of illconceived, high concept buddy comedies are a Hollywood staple. Find a couple of mismatched big names and team them up for some outlandish tomfoolery. As Hot Pursuit’s odd couple, Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara play a tiny, uptight policewoman and the high-maintenance federal witness with drug cartel connections.

Nothing creative going on with this casting; one should be able to figure out which actress is playing which character by that simple description.

Despite a dearth of actually humorous gags, Witherspoon proves her charming value as a movie star. Her portrayal of Cooper—the daughter of a famed lawman, trying to live up to the expectations of her name—has a real humanity, something that was lost in the screenplay and in Vergara’s shrieking portrayal of a drug-boss widow.

Until some talented writers find more to do with Vergara than fill out designer outfits and language barrier gags, she will be wasted in one-note roles.

With only half a dynamic duo and virtually no help from the supporting players— Michael Mosley could have been given more to contribute than a dirty cop—Hot Pursuit has difficulty generating any heat, not coincidentally the title of the Sandra Bullock-

Jenny Lewis

Georgia Theatre · 8 p.m. · $20 Former child actress Jenny Lewis is best known for fronting indie-pop fixture Rilo Kiley, the Los Angeles group whose earnest, saccharine songs about love and teen angst established it as a fast favorite among the “O.C.” set in the mid-2000s.

Since that band called it quits, Lewis’ music has gotten guttier and more nuanced. The Voyager, her third solo effort, out last year on Warner Bros. and produced

by Ryan Adams with assistance from big names like Beck, features the songwriter coping with the dissolution of her longtime project and the loss of her father.

It’s all backed by a deceptively sunny SoCal sound. South Carolina country singer Nikki Lane opens Wednesday’s show.

Know How

Ciné · 6:30 p.m. · FREE! Written and acted by foster care youth through NYCbased nonprofit The Possibility Project, Know How is a musical that weaves the stories of five teens navigating the turbulent waters of the foster care system. Striving to overcome their circumstances, the characters confront issues not limited to physical and sexual abuse, drug addiction, depression, poverty and truancy. Celebrating National Foster Care Month, the screening is part of a weekend of events presented by Home in 5, a public-private partnership working to increase foster care awareness, available homes and support services for nearly 700 children in the region. Visit homein5.net for associated events. [Jessica Smith]

Education · 1–7 p.m. · FREE! This Saturday, local Georgia Public Broadcasting affiliate WUGA 91.7 FM is bringing back its popular Athens Jazz Festival—a crowd-pleaser that was once held in conjunction with the Twilight Criterium— after a several-year hiatus. The event is set for a rather low-key return, though organizers hope to grow it to its former scale in the near future. Scheduled performers for the family-friendly event, which happens on the lawn of UGA’s Georgia Center, include the 17-piece Classic City Swing group, as well as Grogus bassist Carl Lindberg and UGA music professor David D’Angelo, who cut his teeth in the Buddy Rich Orchestra in the early ‘80s. [GV]
