Presidents Get Big Raises

Who Was He? How Did He Do It?

What’s the Purpose of a University System?

He seems in retrospect always telling me to liven it up,” she said larger than life, but that doesn’t do him afterward. justice. As Rev. Harper said at his funeral: Remember, Harold’s daughter Molly To Harold, it was not about Harold.

So, he was not larger than life. He was just thoroughly alive, and he made you feel livelier, because he knew who you were. He could see past Harold and see you, and his regard made you better. Multiply that by hundreds, and you understand who all those people were who came to his visitation and to his funeral. We were all people who were made better by Harold.

The Board of Regents voted on Apr. 14 to raise tuition rates at Georgia’s public colleges by as much as 9 percent. It was not an unusual event; the regents have raised tuition rates every year for more than two decades. A recent study showed that Georgia raised college tuition rates more than any other state except New Mexico over the preceding five years.

You would logically expect that the money raised from higher tuition rates would be used to hire instructors, maintain classrooms and provide a positive learning environment for students.

If you thought that, you would be partly wrong. One month after they voted to raise tuition, the Board of Regents met again and voted to give salary increases to the presidents of Georgia’s colleges and universities.

The legislature put money in the budget to give rank-and-file state employees a 1 percent pay raise. It seems only fair that college presidents should get a similar salary increase. The presidents, however, got more than just 1 or 2 percent raises. Some of them effectively won the state lottery and became millionaires.

Georgia Tech President Bud Peterson saw his compensation increased by 41 percent, going from $773,646 to $1,093,646.

University of Georgia President Jere Morehead got a 43 percent bump, boosting him from $567,380 to $811,374.

Georgia State President Mark Becker really hit the jackpot. His annual compensation of $570,604 will be raised a whopping 87 percent for this fiscal year and the next through the payment of bonuses totaling $1 million ($500,000 each year).

These raises are not being paid because the workload at Georgia’s colleges has suddenly increased. To the contrary, student

enrollment in the University System has declined in recent years, and the number of colleges has been reduced.

Chancellor Hank Huckaby says the presidents should be paid these astronomical salaries because they might be tempted to take a job in another state.

Said Huckaby: “Higher education has become a competitive market for leaders.

We compete for the best, and we want to keep them.”

I have a lot of respect for Hank Huckaby and think he’s served honorably during a long career in state government. On this one, however, he’s sadly mistaken.

The quality and reputation of Georgia’s colleges goes far beyond the identity of whoever happens to be president.

Presidents don’t hold a single class or produce a single degree—that happens because, collectively, faculty members teach and students learn.

Georgia Tech was one of the world’s great technology institutions long before Bud Peterson became president and will still be great long after Peterson departs. Similar statements can be made about Georgia State and the University of Georgia.

The $1 million in bonuses paid to Mark Becker means there is $1 million that won’t be available for financial assistance to students who otherwise can’t afford to attend college.

The Georgia State Foundation, which raises money for scholarships so that people can attend the university Becker heads, said in its annual report: “Every innovation, every scholarship and every life-changing experience at Georgia State happens because someone believed in our mission of student success and wanted to support it.”

The key is “student,” not “president.” f

After years of cuts, Athens-Clarke County is once again, if not flush with cash, at least not searching in between the couch cushions to make a Taco Stand run. ACCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed 2016 budget is about $4 million higher than last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, which is enough to chip away at a long list of wants and needs that have piled up since 2008, but not nearly enough to do everything. And sometimes deciding what to give more money to is just as tough as deciding what to cut.

After Mayor Nancy Denson released her proposed budget late last month, ACC commissioners found themselves with an extra $600,000 to play with because tax revenue projections are a bit more optimistic now than they were a few months ago, when officials started working on the budget. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided to spend the money on: â&#x20AC;˘ $150,000 for an additional 0.25 percent raise for county employees, on top of the 2 percent Denson already proposed. â&#x20AC;˘ $42,500 to hire an outside consultant to look at the structure of the Leisure Services Department. (Some commissioners want to split it into separate athletics/recreation, arts and nature departments.) â&#x20AC;˘ $6,000 for the Athens Area Arts Council and $1,500 for the Oconee Rivers Greenway Commission to cover administrative costs. â&#x20AC;˘ $65,000 for tuition assistance for county employees who want to go back to school. â&#x20AC;˘ $60,000 to replace a Planning Department position that was cut in 2010. (The department has a backlog of several yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of special projects.) â&#x20AC;˘ $10,000 for historic district designation (see below). â&#x20AC;˘ $20,000 for new streetlights. (Since 2004, ACC has received 720 requests, Manager Alan Reddish said.) â&#x20AC;˘ $145,000 for bicycle infrastructure improvements, and $35,000 for pedestrian crosswalk improvements.

What remains on the cutting-room floor is funding to support a fourth Superior Court judge that was approved by the legislature during the last session and is expected to be appointed by Gov. Nathan Deal next April. The Clarke County Courthouse is already overcrowded, which has left court officials wondering where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to stash this guy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got judges in Magistrate Court who are working in closets,â&#x20AC;? Chief Judge David Sweat told commissioners at a May 14 work session. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a safety issue because accused

are skeptical of Jared Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed 14-unit subdivision for seniors on three acres at the corner of Springdale and Rocksprings, which is scheduled to come back to the ACC Planning Commission in July.

Just like Prince Avenue, various studies on infill housingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;at least one specific to Five Pointsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;have been lying around for years. Perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to dust them off and start taking a holistic look at what is perpetually one of the hottest real estate markets in Athens.

Taxicab Confessions An Ex-Athens Cab Driver Tells All

By Adam Tate news@flagpole.com

C

onsider this recipe: one part driver, one part therapist, two parts janitor. Mix well. Do not rinse. Now repeat for 60 hours a week. You spend all your time in a beat-up old van—far more than you are in your home.

It gets vomited in, spit on, kicked, punched and wrecked.

You yourself get vomited on, spit on, punched and wrecked.

This is how you make your living.

Jason Crosby

Story No. 1: I pick up a drunk college girl going from Washington Street just over to near Hancock Avenue and Harris Street. The standard fare for this is $5. This is the amount on file with the Athens-Clarke County Police Department. I charge her $4.

She gets out, throws $4 at me, and calls me a “fucking piece of shit.”

You’re welcome.

Try to fathom the amount of BS that your standard cab driver has to put up with. Who else (besides police and waitresses at Waffle House or the Grill) have to deal with the drunk kids after they have been kicked out of a bar? There are fights inside the van as you’re driving. Pray to God you have power locks, because at 2:30 a.m., downtown Athens looks like the scene in a zombie apocalypse movie, where you have the last functioning car and people are running and screaming at your van and beating on the windows and trying to open the doors while it’s in motion.

Not that I’m asking you to run up and hug a cabbie or buy black and yellow plastic wristbands showing your support for our cause. This is called honesty: A lot of cabbies are total assholes.

At times, I was a total asshole.

Typically, this happens because the customers are drunk, rude, demanding, impatient and show a complete lack of gratitude. If you’re cool to your cabbies, they will be cool to you.

Story No. 2: I pick up three college kids (two guys and one girl) going from Little Italy to a frat house off Milledge.

One guy is completely rude, belligerent and uncooperative.

At the house, the other guy and girl get out, pay me and

night, a cabbie can spend all night scrounging for fares and everything is fine with them. I had assumed the other guy go home with far less than minimum wage. Driving one is with them. He is not. He grabs the girl by her wrist and person home for $5 means that cabbie gets maybe $2. The drunkenly proclaims that I am going to take him and her ability to pay our bills is directly related to how much in back to his place, and he will not pay for the ride. I yell at fares we bring in. If I overcharged somehim, make him let go of the girl and tell body, it’s because they were like the guy the couple to just go inside, because I Pray to God you have in the above story. am going to have a conversation with All the horror stories you have heard this other fellow. Back on the road, he power locks, because are true: Yes, cabbies have had wrecks continuously cusses me out and repeatat 2:30 a.m., downtown while drunk-driving with passengers. edly tells me that he will not be paying for the ride and blah blah blah. I drive Athens looks like a scene in Yes, cabbies have been pimps for prostitutes. Yes, cabbies have been drug dealhim to the Intramural Fields and kick a zombie apocalypse movie. ers and the like. him out, his well-being be damned.

All the other stories are true, too.

Overcharging: Have I ever done it?

There are good cabbies out there. Genuinely good people.

Yes. Did I do it often? No. Do all cabbies do it? Well, they might have all done it, but many of us don’t do it on a regu- Yes, cabbies will let you pay tomorrow if you’re cool. Yes, cabbies will drive around at 5 a.m. after a busy night and lar basis. just give anybody walking home alone a free ride if they Let me explain how the money works. Cabbies don’t get need it. Yes, cabbies will rush you to the hospital. hourly pay. Cabbies don’t get benefits. Cabbies don’t get overtime. Cabbies get half of the fare, minus gas, plus tips.

Story No. 3: I get a call to pick up someone from Athens Regional Medical Center. As I pull in, a guy dives into the back seat screaming: “St. Marys! I’m at the wrong hospital! Get me to St. Mary’s!” The guy’s wife is in labor in the middle of the night. I run red lights and stop signs; I don’t bother to count the few dollars he tosses into the front seat; I explain as I speed across Broad Street that the main doors will be locked after hours, and he has to go in the emergency-room entrance; I come flying into the ambulance bay and wish him good luck.

“

So if you take in $250 in fares in a night and spend $50 in gas, then the company gets $100 and you get $100, plus any tips you might have made. Now break that up over a 12-hour shift, and it’s not that much. Plus, you have to pay the company $25-$35 per week. Does your job make you pay $100+ month to work?

Nobody has ever gotten rich driving a cab. If it’s a slow

I quit on graduation night, 2013 around midnight. I am driving a middle-aged woman and her son down the bypass when I hear her vomit a little in the backseat. When I ask if she has just gotten sick back there, she says “No.” I can see her in the rear-view mirror, shifting around in the seat like she is trying to wipe it up with her own butt.

I drop them off at their hotel, go back to the office and turn in the cab and my money for the night.

I made very good friends with people I regularly picked up. I have unbelievable true stories. I made a living dealing with hookers, drug dealers, millionaires, alumni, mayoral candidates, college kids, lunatics and many more of the most amazing people on the face of the earth.

It was a wild ride for about three and a half years. I witnessed raw, unfiltered life firsthand that few others get to see. I’ve never regretted quitting, but every time I start to tell one of these stories, I still get a big smile on my face. f

The Importance of Early Learning Farmers Market Trifecta Preschool Can Help Break the Cycle of Poverty

One of the most positive trends in Athens is the thriving appreciation of locally grown and prepared food and local artisan-made goods. The Athens Farmers Market is in its eighth season, and the West Broad Farmers Market Garden has succeeded as Athens’ first community-based urban farm, providing access to fresh food that its neighbors may not have otherwise.

And now there’s a newcomer in town. On May 17, the Sunday Center Market hosted its grand opening in the brand new Classic Center Pavilion on Foundry Street.

Athens Farmers Market set the standard in this town. As the name suggests, it’s mostly farmers selling their goods at this market, although there are several options to buy prepared foods or artisan-made goods. Sustainability is the chief concern for the AFM. All the produce vendors here are Certified Naturally Grown; the

have it, and to give new startup vendors the chance to sell what they grow or make.

Education is also a top priority at the West Broad market. Children and adults alike can learn how to incorporate healthy food for a better life; vendors can learn how to grow a business; and shopping here means supporting these initiatives.

Here you’ll find hot food prepared by neighborhood celebrities such as Ms. Ethel and goods from local artisans and craftspeople who are newer to the scene, and although there are fewer growers than at other markets, much of the produce that is sold can be seen growing on-site in the market garden.

“It’s allowing people a place to come and buy food, but also teaching them how that food can change various aspects of their lives,” says Heather Benham, executive director of the Athens Land Trust.

Artists drew on the sidewalk with chalk at the new Sunday Center Market.

meat, egg and dairy producers are working towards Certified Naturally Grown standards (at the very least they’re pastured, non-medicated, etc.), and food purveyors follow a sourcing hierarchy that dictates local first, organic second and regional third. All of the craft vendors are from the local area, too.

“We’re local, we’re producer-only, and we’re sustainable,” says Jan Kozak, AFM manager. “Those three tenets have guided us since we started… In a lot of ways, not compromising has been difficult, because it’s meant being perceived as exclusive, but really what we’re keeping in mind when we work is that folks have come to expect this from us… They don’t have to worry about reading the label or doing any research into where the product came from—they trust that we have done that work for them, and we take that mission very seriously.”

The West Broad market offers an open door for growers and businesses that would not be quite developed enough to sell at the Athens Farmers Market. It’s an incubator and a gateway for consumers and vendors alike—intended to get good food in the hands of people who might not otherwise

At the Classic Center, the grand opening of the Sunday Center Market was promising. Chalk artists drew elaborate sidewalk murals to benefit the Athens Council on Aging and Colors of Connection. There were bands and ice skating. Vendors offered everything from locally printed T-shirts to locally produced honey. People perused food carts and artisan booths, a documentary was screened, and kids jumped around in a bouncy house. A man juggled, and a young girl on stilts greeted people with balloons.

“We believe that we are offering a unique experience for a Sunday afternoon in Athens,” says Danny Bryant, the arena and pavilion services manager at The Classic Center. “While we certainly want the community to shop and support our local artisans, crafters and growers, we want to also be a place a family can come be entertained for an afternoon by ‘window’ shopping, chatting with our great vendors, playing in the bouncy house, enjoying the musical entertainment and cooling off in the shaded pavilion.” f Check flagpole.com/food/the-locavore for a recipe from the Sunday Center Market.

The world, as Lang says, has been frying chicken for a long time. Chickens are everywhere, and in hot climates, frying cooks them faster than an oven, heating up the house less.

Lang says she learned a tremendous amount from the project, and although she started out â&#x20AC;&#x153;religiousâ&#x20AC;? about skillet frying (due to the same grandmother), by the time she

finished up, she was converted to the deep fryer. She calls it â&#x20AC;&#x153;mindless fryingâ&#x20AC;?: Fill it up, plug it in, pop in the chicken and the results are safer, easier and more predictable than those produced by a cast-iron skillet, romantic as the oldfashioned way is.

Does she have any recommendations for where to eat fried chicken in Athens, should you be lazy enough that even the Fry Daddy seems like too much work? She does not. Fried chicken is a food she believes in cooking at home, and when she does get a chance to eat out, she wants to order something she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make. Maybe she can get you to do the same. f Check flagpole.com for food critic Hillary Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take on the best fried chicken in Athens.

F

or a woman who spent months frying chicken after chicken after chicken while dealing with two small children and trying to sell her house at the same time, Rebecca Lang is a surprisingly reasonable person. So it makes sense that her new cookbook, Fried Chicken: Recipes for the Crispy, Crunchy, Comfort-Food Classic, out this week, is also exceedingly reasonable. Issued in a small format, rather than the coffee table-size cookbooks one has come to expect, and including no silly, over-primped lifestyle photography, but rather straightforward photographs of food, it is an attempt to convert you to the joys of frying, both skillet and deep.

Lang, a Georgian born and bred and an Athenian for some years, grew up eating her grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fried chicken every Sunday, but the idea of doing an entire book devoted to the subject wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the first thing on her mind. Lang has four other cookbooks to her name and has been a contributing editor to Southern Living, so sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always on the hunt for what might be next. She says that, with the aforementioned children, about the only place she gets some peace and quiet is in the shower, where she does her best thinking, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the book occurred to her.

Damon Lee Fowler had written a book back in the late 1990s that was now out of print, but there was nothing else of the sort on the market geared to home cooks.

She sat down with her mother one night to see how many recipes they could brainstorm; by the end of the evening, they had 60 ideas.

The final book has 51, divided among skillet-fried, deep-fried and â&#x20AC;&#x153;combination fried,â&#x20AC;? which suggests some went by the wayside, but she says that, in the testing process, she tends to tweak and rework rather than throw things out.

Once she had a publisher on the hook, she commenced to frying morning, noon and night, through the snow-filled winter of 2013 and into May, when she popped on a wide-brimmed hat and liberally applied sunscreen. Lang says it was the hardest project sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever done, and physical labor was a good part of that. To keep the house clean and cool, she ended up doing her frying outside on an induction burner or in an electric deep fryer, both set on a six-foot plastic table that itself sat atop a big piece of plywood to protect the grass. Her dog hung out underneath the table, and her fire extinguisher sat at the ready.

She used only Springer Mountain Farms chickens, raised naturally with no antibiotics just up the road from Athens in Mount Airy. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d meet the farmers in the parking lot of Ingles and transfer two or three huge Styrofoam coolers of freshly processed chicken to her own car, then move it into washtubs in a dedicated outdoor â&#x20AC;&#x153;chicken fridgeâ&#x20AC;? to marinate and await the fryer. Barberitos was kind enough to recycle gallon after gallon of oil, although she says the workers at the Five Points location who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the whole story gave her some funny looks.

Tammy Cook, a professional culinary researcher who has worked for the Food Networkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alton Brown, used the library in the Art Institute of Atlanta to help Lang track down recipes from all over the globe, with a premium on

Earth, Earnestness & Eats A Varied Fare Plus a “New” Theater

By Drew Wheeler

TOMORROWLAND (PG) The nostalgia-fueled Tomorrowland feels like an oddity. What business does an original intellectual property have being released on Memorial Day weekend?

George Clooney stars as Frank Walker, an aged boy genius who must team up with a brilliant teen (Britt Robertson) to save our dying planet from us and a utopia headed by House (Hugh Laurie seems to enjoy his dastardly turn).

The movie’s abundant creativity is fed by the same Spielbergian cinematic dreams that energized J.J. Abrams’ Super 8. Tomorrowland’s brain trust, The Incredibles director Brad Bird and “Lost”’s Damon Lindelof, jam in as many references and nods to They finally finished the downtown Walmart! the grand sci-fi past as possible in PITCH PERFECT 2 (PG-13) Sadly, Pitch 130 minutes, which never feels too long.

Perfect 2 is entirely off key. Pretty much Clooney is grouchily charming, and everything that can be wrong with a Robertson handles her hefty screen time sequel—bigger goals, broader gags, extreme like a pro, though 12-year-old Raffey artificiality—is wrong with this comedy.

Cassidy might be the movie’s most charmThe Barden Bellas won Nationals in the ing find.

THE NEW BEECHWOOD: If you have not been to a movie at Beechwood in a while, be prepared for some changes. The longstanding Athens movie house has recently undergone renovations to make it one of the nicest movie viewing locations in town. On one side of the theater, what is affectionately known as the “old” side, five auditoriums have been totally gutted and modernized.

Gone are the tiny seats of old; in their place, moviegoers will find soft, deep, cushioned chairs that rival the theater’s Georgia Theatre Company family member, University 16. Though the seats lean back, don’t go mistaking these lounges for your favorite armchair; just imagine the aisle space needed for extendable footrests.

You’ll survive without them. Just don’t get so comfortable that you miss the movie.

Maybe the newly added food and drink options will keep you awake. One auditorium has been sacrificed for the addition of Outtakes, a restaurant and bar with a menu including sliders, tacos, pizzas and, most importantly, alcohol. Unlike University 16, where alcohol can only be consumed in one specific, age-restricted auditorium (Oconee County rules), the beer and wine sold at Beechwood can be consumed in any auditorium. So, enjoy a craft beer while watching the latest blockbuster from a super comfy seat. Even the most vapid Hollywood release is better with beer (or wine). For old school movie fans, traditional concession fare, i.e. popcorn, nachos, candy, etc., are still available.

Miss a hit movie and don’t want to wait until VOD, DVD or Netflix? Encore screenings, described as “Older Movies, Bargain Prices,” are another new feature. The five remaining unremodeled auditoriums are slated to play recent releases for discounted prices. Encore matinees will be half the regular matinee price—$4 rather than $8—and Encore Evening tickets are only $5, which leaves more money for goodies like popcorn and a Coke. Current Encore features include the Will Ferrell-Kevin Hart team-up Get Hard, which offers even more laughs per dollar at a reduced price; the middling Divergent sequel Insurgent; The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel for the older demo; and two choices for the family, Disney’s live-action Cinderella and Disneynature’s Monkey Kingdom. f

Miller has also amassed an impressive resume of voiceover work, starting in 2008, when he voiced the faceless yet ever-present cameraman, Hud, in the found-footage monster movie Cloverfield. Since then, Miller has landed a string of high-profile voice gigs, including roles in How to Train Your Dragon, Big Hero 6 and Gravity Falls.

Miller has a theory about why his raspy, slightly sarcastic voice is such a hot commodity: â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one else sounds as much like a drag queen with the accent of a Midwestern rodeo clown from Colorado who chain smokes cloves and yells for a living.â&#x20AC;?

Carl Lindberg’s Legacy Friends and Bandmates Remember the Late Bassist

By Various Authors music@flagpole.com

W

hen Flagpole learned that jazz bassist Carl Lindberg, who played with Grogus, Old Skool Trio and other Athens bands, had passed away May 15, we asked members of the Athens music community to pay tribute. Here’s how they remember Lindberg.

Dan Nettles: I’m sorry I have kept so quiet about my brother Carl leaving us. I’m hiding out, and keeping still and quiet. Powerless and waiting.

depression makes you blind. It hides all the good things in your life and blankets you in loneliness and pain.

I have regrets. During the last few rocky months in my life, I often thought, “Ah, well, at least I get to teach camp all summer with Carl!” It lifted me up to know I would get to spend hours and hours with him. This will never be, and it tears me to pieces.

Carl, he is gone now. He’s gone to a better place. The pain is over for him. We keep what we can. I keep his voice. I hear him all the time, saying things he’d say, singing things he’d sing.

It’s going to take a long, long time, and things will never be the same again. In every show in every set there will be a song that is for you, Carl.

I’m sorry I didn’t give him more.

had hand-written for a show he was playing at Seney-Stovall Chapel. He had just come home from China, and we spoke at length about his travels and his return to town with renewed inspiration and excitement. We connected on a deep level with one interaction, as I know now he did with many. He had a way of making you feel like the most important person in the world.

We grew closer through the years, sharing the stage, sharing laughter, tears, admiration, constructive criticisms. I can remember so many things that he taught me that range from music advice to how to breathe your way into being a better parent.

I love that man from the tips of my toes to the ends of

Squat 1996 Thank God for music. There aren’t a lot of words that even come close to capturing anything I can say, but if I tried, I’d have to say I lost my first brother Casey to suicide in high school, and found my second brother, Carl, right around that time. I watched him rock some Led Zeppelin tunes in someone’s living room. We weren’t close then. We lived highschools apart, and I had no idea who he would be to me. Then college swept me away.

Post-college, there were hundreds of gigs: losing hearing every Monday night playing at the City Bar, or Tuesday at the Winery. My first-ever studio session was with Carl and Jeff Reilly. Crazy. We became closer, and he helped me heal my broken heart, once, twice, three times. We met at Little Italy and played Area 51 for consolation. He put up with me as I dabbled in Tai Chi and Baugua, looking for something. We kayaked down the Oconee River, we played Settlers of Catan, we made fires and howled at the moon. Our dogs Amos and Mickey were best friends, too. We made records together; we made records apart; we knew each others’ songs and played them back for each other.

Carl was tireless, and tired, and one person for the many, and another quiet, caring person when we got to be alone. When he was on, it was the greatest to play music with him. He never seemed to know how good he was as a teacher, a leader, a musician, a father and a lover of life.

In music and in life, he was his own worst enemy. If he could see himself even a fraction of how we see him, how wonderful and great he was, he would still be here.

But, as I know from my own experiences,

the universe and really can’t imagine who I would be if I didn’t have the Carl-isms I have in my mind that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Trey Wright: I first met Carl while taking a jazz improvisation course at UGA taught by Steve Dancz in the early 1990s. Carl was a bright-eyed young bassist ready to take on the world, and I was a shy, naive guitarist who was trying to figure out who he was. We starting meeting outside of class to practice and to sneak into the Half Moon Pub to see Thunder 1998 Wamper shows. (We were both underage at the time.)

The roots of the band Squat were formed We had made a promise to call each other in that class. It is often said that being in a if things got too bad. And I’m sorry he band is like being in a family. Our fun-lovcouldn’t call me, but I understand the pain. ing, dysfunctional family hit the road in the I’m left now trying to understand what this mid-1990s and experienced life together. I world without him will be like. I’m trying, am thankful for those experiences—those and I’ll be trying for a long time. He would moments of insanity on the road were be the person I’d call right now to help me unlike anything I will experience again, and heal my shattered heart. they truly shaped who I am today.

I love all of you. Hold each other close.

I don’t know how any of us will make sense of what has happened, and I’m pretty Betsy Franck: I first met Carl at Jittery sure we never will. I do know this: Carl Joe’s in Five Points, when it was in the made an enormous impact on everyone corner gas station building where Athens he met with his bear hugs, his smiles, his Running Company now resides. words of wisdom and his soulful music.

I was new to town and serving up Carl and I often spoke of an “attitude of espresso shots to what would become my gratitude.” Here is what I’ve got. Without tribe. Carl walked in with his infectious Carl: smile and intense gaze, holding a flyer he

I would not be a musician.

I would have no idea what it’s like to live out of a van.

I would have always played too many notes.

I would have never understood clave.

I would have never developed the confidence to write music.

I would have no idea what permaculture is.

I would have never read Rumi.

I would have never met the Dalai Lama.

I wouldn’t have blueberry bushes in my front yard (or the Lemon Balm).

I would have never developed an appreciation for Sriracha.

I would have never heard of Tai Chi (until it became trendy about 10 years ago).

Along with Tommy, I would have never figured out that music can be art and entertainment, and can be absurdly wacky at the same time (with the occasional political message thrown in for good measure).

I would have never worn a dress at the Georgia Theatre (maybe I could have done without this part).

In short, without Carl, I would have never known what it means to have a brother. We miss you, boogerman.

Rick Williams: Sitting here in a coffee shop in the East Village, and I’m struggling to type.

Because it just makes all this more real, and none of us want it to be. But we all have a debt to repay to Carl Lindberg. He gave us everything he had and more.

This cat didn’t hold back. He freed us. He made Athens Athens.

2002 Carl was a musical, a spiritual, a universal sponge. He made us believe. If any of us was having an existential moment, all it took was one big hug, one song, one chest-beating, foot-stomping, smiling, dancing, hands-raised-tothe-sky plea, and we knew again that deep in the marrow of the world was goodness.

What lucky souls we are to have walked the same Earth as Carl Lindberg.

He was the very first musician I ever saw perform in Athens, and in the 10 years that followed living there, and in the 10 years since, I don’t think anyone has ever moved me, handed me that gut-punch, lit the way, given me—and all of us—permission to feel. Don’t know how else to phrase it.

Whether you were next to him on stage, in the crowd, working the bar, taking his picture or just passing by, it’s like he was called by a higher power to give the hairs on the backs of our necks a lot of exercise.

Carl ain’t gone. No way. At the top of every note, every time we find the pocket, every time we muster the courage to sing a little louder, to slink out of our comfort zone, every time we take a chance on ourselves, and the magic of Athens (no matter where we are) lets itself be known once again, Carl’s right there. We owe him a debt, guys. And the only way to settle it is to pay it forward.

Be kinder. Be braver. Channel goodness.

And when the time is right, don’t be afraid to get funky. Much love to Carl’s sweet family and everyone who called him brother.

Thank you, Carl. f

STABLE FOR DAYS: I hate to casually refer to anyone as â&#x20AC;&#x153;reclusive,â&#x20AC;? because, though God knows I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand people all up in my face, I still consider myself a fairly sociable guy.

But dang it if Kites With Lights isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the most compelling project thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also totally absent from the live scene to hit Athens in forever. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gushed about the band and its sole member, Jonah Cordy, before. But for the uninitiated, Kites With Lights wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t born in Athens, but rather Pittsburgh, PA, and the project is now 10 years old. The last full-length, On the Edges, came out in November 2014. Two weeks ago, Cordy released a two-version single of the new single â&#x20AC;&#x153;Motor Car,â&#x20AC;? a dreamy number that conveys movement, familiarity with mechanical engineering and ennui. Dig it at kiteswithlights.bandcamp.com.

MEAT UP: Congratulations go out to both The Powder Room and Motherfucker for being invited to play the annual PRF BBQ in Chicago, IL. The event, created independently by members of the Electrical Audio (aka engineer Steve Albiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studio) web forum, is known for its days-long celebration of heavy music, worldwide camaraderie and meat. Also, whatever you do, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even think of making a joke about how this event is the Steve Albini BBQ, because I did and was roundly corrected by The Powder Roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kites With Lights Patrick Ferguson. In all seriousness, the lineup for the event is generally pretty killer, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty damn cool to have both bands headed out there.

For more information, see prfbbq.com. Oh, yeah, â&#x20AC;&#x153;PRFâ&#x20AC;? stands for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Premiere Rock Forum,â&#x20AC;? because of course it does, and if you want to party online like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1999, you can check out all the dope threads (get it?) over at electrical audio.com/phpBB3.

GET UP, GET DOWN: In related news, The Powder Room will head into Kyle Spenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studio, named Ronnie Jone$ound, in August to record a sophomore album.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s titled Lucky, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s both fitting and gracious for a band that has overcome more than its share of hazard and trouble in its relatively short lifetime. On the live front, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be touring through North Carolina on the way up

to the PRF event mentioned above, and are planning to record some demos with engineer Alex Maiolo at a studio thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about 50 feet from where their van caught fire several months ago. Locally, the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2015 shows are at AthFest and Slopfest. Lucky should be released around February 2016. Follow along at facebook.com/powderroomga.

PSUEDO ECHO: Meth Wax, the recording alias of songwriter Daniel Tanghal, has a new EP out named Full Frontal. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m only consenting to call this an EPâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;hell, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got 10 full tracksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;because Tanghal is such a damn good artist that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just gonna go with his flow. Even though his last official full-length only had 11 songs. I suppose itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that last couple of minutes that make all the difference in Meth world. Anyway, Full Frontal is totally packed with what Tanghal calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;scuzz-pop,â&#x20AC;? and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty damn good description. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loud, fuzzy, fast and, well, scuzzy. Get on it at methwax. bandcamp.com. A cassette version is available via Marching Banana Records/Teen Sleuth Cassettes, and you can pick that up locally at Wuxtry Records or online at marchingbanana.org.

THE SMALLEST DETAILS: At first blush, I was totally ready to wave off the title of the new Futo album, I Wish I had been Born as the Rain that Forms Rivers that Carve out Canyons, as an exercise in excess. However, after repeated listens to the nine-song album, which came out last month, I internally retracted that impulse. The record is a deeply emotional and personal release that wound up affecting me more than I could have possibly anticipated, and the title is central and essential to the theme. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll leave it to you to explore the lyrics, but the music is completely solid mid-tempo electro-pop, as audiences have come to expect from Futo. If you take the time to give this your full attention, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much assured youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be thankful.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also assured youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll not have a single dry eye for a good while, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably best to listen alone. This one, too, is available on cassette from Marching Banana/Teen Sleuth at the same places I mentioned above. Headphones up at futo. bandcamp.com. f

record review Dank: Dank (Independent Release) Athens/Atlanta band Dank Sinatraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent decision to change their already questionable moniker to the simpler but somehow more unfortunate â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dankâ&#x20AC;? did not bode well for the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s output moving forward. Thankfully, their self-titled debut album, a mix of bluesy stadium-rock and winking prog posturing, exceeds expectations. (Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only technically a debut; Dank Sinatra released the schizophrenic Strange in 2013.)

Opener â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crash the Doorâ&#x20AC;? opens with a taut, Spoon-like organ line, which is quickly enveloped by a swirling intro. Soon, angular guitars and a tom-heavy drumbeat enter the frame. The track sets the stage for the rest of the album, which follows suit with nine more tracks of capable, vaguely psychedelic retro-rock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last Nightâ&#x20AC;? is not a Strokes cover, but it does suggest the swaggering, British-revivalist garage-rock so popular during that bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heyday. Elsewhere, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quarterâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Piecesâ&#x20AC;? act as lite versions of Yesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; epic prog-funk workouts. (Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a hint of Alice in Chainsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Layne Staley in the vocals, which will either delight or disgust depending on your tolerance for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s MOR-grunge.) Dankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last two songs are its best. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Magazineâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Morphineâ&#x20AC;? find the band expertly segueing quiet acoustic psych into full-band bombast. [Gabe Vodicka] Dank plays Nowhere Bar on Thursday, May 28 and Friday, May 29.

Cada Heroe Tiene Una Historia AthFest Educates Grantee Brings Shadow Puppetry to Pinewoods

By Jessica Smith arts@flagpole.com In less than a month, the streets and venues of downtown will swarm with musicians and club crawlers during AthFest, the beloved music and arts festival that contributes not only fun in the sun, but some serious funding for AthFest Educates.

The nonprofit, which has awarded nearly $200,000 in grants since 2009, supports the advancement of music and arts education through programs organized by local schools, community organizations and government agencies.

This past winter, AthFest Educates announced its current wave of recipients, awarding a total of $15,000 in grants towards equipment and cultural programming. The 11 grantees are remarkably diverse, ranging from stop-motion animation workshops at the Lyndon House Arts Center, ukelele instruction at J.J. Harris Elementary and Whit Davis Elementary, and an arts-based nature exploration program at the Garnett Ridge Awesome Clubhouse at La Escuelita.

Akstein reached out to Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Librarian Jonathan Dolce to collaborate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jonathan and I had both previously worked with Aida and the Pinewoods Library and felt a personal connection to the community. The kids do have an incredibly contagious energy, but perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also because Jonathan and I both have familial ties to Latin American culture and feel at home somehow,â&#x20AC;? says Akstein. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also aware of the lack of resources the Pinewoods Library has had for arts programming and hoped that this project could spark an ongoing programâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;one that has been off to a good start so far.â&#x20AC;?

During the three-day workshop, children were guided through constructing puppets and rehearsing lines for the public performance. The shadow puppets, which were cut from poster board and laminated, are both affordable and easily storable in comparison to other incarnations of puppetsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;an important consideration given Pinewoodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; limited resources and physical space.

Another interesting project brings the ancient art of shadow puppetry to the Pinewoods Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;also known as Biblioteca y Centro Educativo de la Communidad de Pinewoodsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which is located within a mobile home park predominantly populated by residents of Hispanic heritage. After a three-day workshop, children of the Pinewoods community gave a public performance, in which their handmade, cut-out characters were illuminated from behind a translucent screen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The library is an integral hub for not just the kids that go there after school, but for the entire community,â&#x20AC;? says organizer Nicole Akstein, an instructor at Lyndon House Arts Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I saw the opportunity to apply for the AthFest grant last year, I immediately met with [Pinewoods Library branch manager] Aida [QuiĂąones] and asked her what kind of project the kids would like to see happen there.â&#x20AC;?

Inspired by a shadow puppet show that the Athens-Clarke County Library performed last summer at Pinewoods,

The performance â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cada Heroe Tiene Una Historia,â&#x20AC;? which debuted at Pinewoodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; celebration of El DĂ­a de los NiĂąos, El DĂ­a de los Libros (Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, Book Day) on Saturday, May 2, is comprised of three main storylines that relate to Hispanic heritage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to tie in literacy, thus we chose to bring two popular picture books to life, one of which, El Biblioburro, is based on a true story, and the other, NiĂąo Wrestles the World, a Georgia Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book Award nominee,â&#x20AC;? says Dolce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last portion was based on Aztec and Mayan iconography put to music, specifically Shakiraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hit song, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ojos Asi.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Impressively, the shadow puppet show will be included in the Athens Regional Library Systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer reading program, modified so that it can be performed by two employees at each destination. Kicking off at Oglethorpe County Library on Tuesday, June 2 at 10:30 a.m., the bilingual adaptation will tour to 10 libraries and community centers over the course of five weeks.

Creature Comforts · 4–7:30 p.m. · FREE! In a creative project that pairs environmental stewardship with neighborhood beautification, the ACC Stormwater Management Program and ACC Water Conservation Office co-present the fifth annual Roll Out the Barrels silent auction. Twenty ordinary rain barrels were transformed into functional pieces of art by local artists, including Jamie Calkin, Mike Groves, Dan Smith and Lily Swindle.

Effective at reducing water pollution by collecting stormwater before it becomes runoff, barrels are also cost-effective methods for nourishing gardens. Proceeds benefit the Athens Green School Program, an initiative that promotes environmental education.

Caledonia Lounge · 9 p.m. · $5 (21+), $7 (18–20) Atlanta duo Weisshund celebrates the release of its debut self-titled EP with a show at the Caledonia Lounge. The group, composed of singer and guitarist Rick Lollar and percussionist Marlon Patton (the latter is known for his sublime rhythmic work with Athens-based jazz ensemble Kenosha Kid) plays a dense but unshowy brand of blues-rock that nods to the members’ technical prowess but never hinges on it. Dollar’s songwriting chops are evident on tracks like early single “Save Your Love (For the Living).”

Ray’s voice, which alternates between intoxicated croon and ferocious yowl, acts as a striking counterpoint to her band’s loose, organic vibe.
