Money Talks In the Confederate Flag Fight

By Pete McCommons editor@flagpole.com

By Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com

the kind of family journalism we used to have in most Georgia towns. Mike is not only a good newspaper man, he has to do it up close and personal in a small town where he knows everybody, everybody knows him and many of them are friends of his. As Mike put it in an editorial a couple of years ago: “In a small community, just about everybody is friends or acquaintances with everyone else to some degree. Often newspapers are accused of favoring their ‘friends’ in some way or another. But the truth is, just about everyone we cover in a small town is in some way a ‘friend.’ Still, we don’t let that kind of thing color how we cover local governments.” It does mean, though, that you’re likely to run into somebody at the post office or the café whom you’ve just written about in the paper and who may be going to jail because of your coverage, as happened to a recent district attorney. In the aforementioned editorial, Mike went to some length to distinguish between fact and opinion, pointing out that most of politics, for instance, is opinion, a fact that is hard for people to grasp, especially politicians. That explains why, when you read The roots of The Jackson Herald, like those of The Oglethorpe Echo, mentioned something Mike has last week, are entwined in the cantankerous machine known as the Linotype. written—even in his There are not many left around.

Some wars are not fought on battlefields. They are fought with the weapons of Twitter feeds and Facebook memes. In the war over the Confederate battle flag, one of the generals is Charles Kelly Barrow, the vice chairman of the Georgia Civil War Commission who is also “commander-in-chief” of the Georgia chapter of Sons of Confederate Veterans. Barrow tried to rally his troops last week as South Carolina marched inexorably towards removing the flag from its capitol grounds. As Barrow put it, this wasn’t just a disagreement over displaying a flag at government buildings; it was a fight for the country’s soul. “We are in a war to save American culture,” the SCV website warned ominously. “And we don’t have much time.” Right away, you’ll notice an inconsistency. While the SCV proclaims it is vital to “save American culture,” it was the Confederacy that attempted to destroy America by starting a war that killed more than 300,000 U.S. soldiers. Setting aside that inconvenient truth, Barrow also sounded the alarm on the real enemy: all those liberals. “The forces arrayed against us are formidable,” Barrow posted online. “Their first declared goal is to remove the Confederate Battle flag… But do not be fooled into thinking they will stop there. The radical leftists who are driving this crisis are committed to the complete eradication of all things Confederate.” Barrow was about as successful as one of the generals his organization venerates: George Pickett, who led the ill-considered charge at Gettysburg, the high-water mark of the Confederacy. The South Carolina legislature passed the flag bill by overwhelming margins. Gov. Nikki Haley quickly signed the bill and by Friday morning, the

flag was taken down for the last time and transferred to a “relic room.” To add insult to injury, as South Carolina voted to furl the St. Andrew’s Cross, Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens was fighting another group that likes to wave Confederate flags: the International Keystone Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. The KKK outfit from Union County wanted to adopt a portion of a state highway so that they could have an official road sign bearing their name. After the Department of Transportation rejected the request, the KKK sued the DOT. Olens’ argument: If the DOT granted the KKK’s request, it would be required to erect a sign that includes the official state seal. “The state of Georgia wants no part of communicating a message of racism and white supremacy,” Olens said. Some years after the Civil War, when asked why the grand charge at Gettysburg failed, Pickett remarked: “I’ve always thought the Yankees had something to do with it.” Pickett’s comment still applies today if you substitute the words “business executives” for “Yankees.” The flag fight is really about whether corporate CEOs want to be in a state where KKK-endorsed symbols of racial hatred are on official display. I suspect that Nikki Haley received a phone call or two from executives at Volvo, which recently announced plans to open an auto assembly plant in her state. Forced to choose between a flag and a jobs, it’s easy to see which way a governor would go. If a corporate CEO approached our governor and said, “I’ll move my headquarters to Georgia, but only if those carvings on Stone Mountain are removed,” you would see the Confederate memorial sand-blasted smooth within 24 hours. Heritage may be important, but business is business. f

While most said they support an Aldi on the Eastside, Back on the Chain Gang: The developers of Georgia they would prefer to see it on Lexington Road or on the north side of Barnett Shoals, where there are several vacant Heights—the luxury student apartments under construction near SunTrust on Broad Street—announced last week commercial spaces. However, Jim Warnes, an Athens attorthat they’ve signed four ground-floor commercial tenants: ney representing Aldi, said the German company looked at CVS/Pharmacy (which, we’re told, will sell groceries), a 18 sites on the Eastside, and no others were suitable.

In 2007, Walgreens proposed a pharmacy in the same location, but it was also rejected. “Walgreens was asked to go elsewhere,” neighborhood association president Kent Middleton pointed out. “Walgreens went to Lexington Road and appears to be thriving.” That precedent leaves hope that Aldi may find somewhere more appropriate on the Eastside. Commissioner Andy Herod, who lives in and represents Green Acres/Crestwood, said he’d like to see an Aldi on the Eastside, but the location they Aldi wanted to build a grocery store where Dick Berryman’s service station on Barnett Shoals Road now stands. wanted isn’t right. “If we were All these new mixed-use developments downtown are talking about a Walmart neighborhood market or a dollar expensive to build, so the rents are high (out of reach of store, it wouldn’t have nearly the support,” he said.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ JULY 15, 2015

Saturday, July 18 at The Blind Pig on Baldwin Street. Also check out their Facebook page, AthensForBernie2016. Bulldog Bucks: The University of Georgia raised a recordbreaking $144 million in fiscal 2015 (which ended June 30) from 64,000 individual donors, up from $126 million the year before, which also set a record. President Jere Morehead described the haul as “unprecedented” as he adjusted his monocle. Way to earn that $800,000 salary. Food Trucks: Local food trucks mostly work special events on weekends, but several food truck owners told county staffers last week that they’d like to sell food downtown one day a week—and the county might provide parking spots for them to do just that. Street sellers Kona Ice, Streets Cafe and Holy Crepe met with county staffers who, along with commissioners on the Government Operations Committee, hope to hash out regulations allowing the trucks to sell downtown, likely on Wednesdays or Thursdays, and likely beside City Hall along College Avenue and Washington Street. “Food trucks definitely add to the diversity and vibrancy of downtown,” Commissioner Melissa Link said. Some trucks might sell to a lunchtime crowd, while others could set up after the bars close, Central Services Director David Fluck told the Government Ops committee. Food trucks might also operate in county parks at selected times, but would not be allowed to compete with Little League concession sales, nor with downtown special events. “We had a great meeting last week,” Fluck told commissioners. “We tried to take what we heard and distill that a little bit.” County law already allows regulated sidewalk sales, but not sales from parked vehicles. It will take several months for the proposals to work their way through county government, toward eventual approval (presumably) by the full commission. Fluck proposed charging the trucks a $200-per-year license fee, which he said is in line with other county fees; a parking fee might be added on top of that. Construction vehicles, for instance, must pay for street parking. Parking spaces would be temporarily flagged to reserve curb space for food trucks, but since, because of pending legal questions, ACC doesn’t tow illegally parked cars, the county would need to depend only on enhanced fines to keep spaces clear unless and until that situation should change. [John Huie] Sidewalks: Some neighborhoods want sidewalks but don’t have any. But sidewalks are expensive to build ($50 or more per foot) and quiet neighborhood streets don’t meet ACC’s criteria for building sidewalks with public money. So, let the neighborhoods pay for their own sidewalks? That’s the plan discussed at last week’s Government Operations Committee meeting. If a neighborhood wants a sidewalk, and 65 percent of affected homeowners agree, the county could assess them (and also the other 35 percent of homeowners, like it or not) additional taxes to build the requested sidewalk. ACC already does this when a neighborhood requests speed humps or water lines, but sidewalks are expensive, and often homeowners don’t really know where their property lines are, noted Commissioner Andy Herod. Public street right-of-ways usually extend some distance into peoples’ front yards, and sidewalks would take up some of that yard. “I think this has the potential to be a little bit more contentious,” Herod said. Some commissioners also wondered why the county so often builds new sidewalks along roads that already have a sidewalk on one side, or whether developers can be forced to pay for sidewalks when new development brings more traffic. But those should be issues for another day, county staffers insisted. [John Huie] f

‘Old South’ Documents African Americans’ Struggle With Kappa Alpha By Blake Aued news@flagpole.com

K

appa Alpha is a University of Georgia fraternity founded in the image of Robert E. Lee. Its members, as recently as a decade ago, would ride horses down Lumpkin Street dressed as Confederate officers. So, of course, residents of the historically African American Hancock Avenue/Reese Street area just west of downtown were mystified and angry when KA bought property in their midst for a new fraternity house in 2006. Danielle Beverly, a filmmaker currently based in Brooklyn, spent more than three years living in Athens and documenting the conflict, which, in addition to the usual town-gown problems like parking and partying, dredged up issues of race and class that, sadly, have become even more relevant due to the Charleston, SC, shootings and renewed debate over the Confederate flag. The finished product, Old South, is screening Thursday, July 23 at Hill First Baptist Church, the center of the fight against the KA house. Beverly recently spoke to Flagpole about making the film, as well as racial divisions and gentrification in Athens.

Flagpole: How did you first hear about this story, and what drew you to it? Danielle Beverly: When I found out about the story, I was living in California. I knew I was ready to make my next feature-length documentary. I shoot these films by myself, and that’s by design. I feel that it’s really important to be able to gain intimate trust with those in front of the camera, and that’s more difficult to do when you have a crew with you. I heard about the story pretty quickly after Kappa Alpha had decided to move into the neighborhood and begin building their fraternity home there. A person I know in Athens said, ‘You may want to come down here and check this out.’ So I flew there and spent four days researching and checking out the neighborhood. Everyone said, ‘The person you need to talk to is Hope Iglehart.’ I kept leaving messages for her. On the very last day I was to be there, she said, ‘I’m sorry, I’ve been busy. Please come by my funeral home, and we can talk.’ I walked in, and here she is, this 30-year-old woman who’s taking on her family business. She’s a fifth-generation

funeral director. And she’s sitting underneath this portrait of her grandfather, who started the funeral home. And I thought, ‘This woman has a lot on her shoulders. She’s a spokeswoman for the fight against the fraternity. It’s her mother’s home, her family home, that the fraternity’s moving next to. Meanwhile, they’ve knocked over all the other houses on the block. This is the person who needs to be in front of the camera.’ FP: Who else did you speak to? DB: Oh, I spoke to a lot of people. You really have to think about who has the most at stake. Who is it going to affect the most? So I started going to Hill First Baptist Church.

“

I call it fighting for your right to be insensitive.

I’m so proud to bring the film back to Athens, and I’ve always thought it should be shown on the grounds of Hill First Baptist Church. They are a 150-year-old historic black church, and they were the Ground Zero for the resistance against the fraternity. By the end of the story, they have become a change agent, and they have also become the grounds for reconciliation. Like many churches, they are the pillar of the community, but they are also a place where you can make social change, and you can experience healing. There are two other people who emerge in the film, one of whom was a complete surprise. That’s the beauty of documentary filmmaking—you have no idea what’s going to happen. About halfway through filming, a couple of years in, I met Karen Whitten, who started a community garden and became an important voice in the film. The third character was from the fraternity. I’ve always been interested in who they were, but I’m not a journalist. Documentaries are not interviews. Documentaries are witnessing, at least the way I make them. FP: So this is not a talking-head type of documentary. DB: Exactly. It was clear who I was aligned with. Who is in a position of power in this situation? The fraternity,

or the neighborhood that’s being gentrified? I knew [KA] would emerge into the story at some point, but I wasn’t eager to push that dynamic. I was waiting for the organic moment where they would walk right into the story. Thankfully, a young man who was vice president of the fraternity at the time becomes involved in a community effort, and he becomes the person who is the eyes, ears, face and voice of the fraternity and their experience. I’m happy to say that, while I don’t necessarily agree with everything that fraternity represents, I do respect this young man greatly, especially the trust he provided me. FP: Was the Old South background of the fraternity the bigger issue, or was it gentrification? DB: It would depend on who you’re asking. Do I think the gentrification issue was real? Sure, but I think to say it’s the main issue is to let the racial issue off the hook. That is the much bigger issue, and I think it was incredibly hurtful to the black community. How those issues played out in a very violent way in Charleston, SC, there are a lot of similarities: A historic black church, a young man who’s part of a group that’s been known to fly the Confederate flag. It’s a much different outcome, I’m happy to say. It’s one of healing and reflection. Some crucial steps forward were taken by both groups. There was no violence, thankfully. FP: People who wave the Confederate flag don’t always realize how it appears to other people. How did the attitude of the KAs change when they met the residents and heard their concerns? DB: I can’t speak for the KAs, because I worked with one young man who organically walked into the story. Fraternities do community service. That’s part of their mandate. As one audience member said, ‘We do community service to make up for all the bad things we do on the weekends.’ This young man who’s in the film is really committed to the project he initiates. But that’s not the question I was asking. I was witnessing and hoping there’d be some positive change, and there was. I do think both sides came a little bit closer to each other. What I hope this non-judgemental film offers is an understanding of what it’s like to walk in someone else’s shoes. k continued on next page

I think the fraternity was stunned that the black community would take issue with them moving into the neighborhood. You don’t join a fraternity that has an antebellum parade and not consider that that’s a hurtful thing. You’re either that naive, or your eyes are open, and I think everyone’s eyes are open now. They had a version of the Confederate flag flying outside their old house, and you can see it in the film. They did not fly anything outside their house when they moved into the neighborhood. There is a cannon in the yard. They still had an antebellum parade every year. Apparently this year there are no hoop skirts, but what does that really mean? Does it mean the organization is considering that what they traditionally stood for is hurtful, or does it mean they’re just taking it behind closed doors? I don’t know. FP: They still do the parade? I guess they just got rid of the gray uniforms and the horses. DB: They take away little things each year, but it’s because of pressure. I call it fighting for your right to be insensitive. But again, I really want to emphasize that I care very much about everyone in front of the camera. It doesn’t mean I’m a KA supporter, but I do look at each person in their entirety. FP: Did you document changing attitudes in the African American community? Did they become more accepting of the fraternity? DB: I think you and your audience should come and see the film, because the film ends in [Hill First Baptist Church]. The final scene is Kappa Alpha, Hope Iglehart and several community members. The film ends with a greater understanding of each other, with reconciliation and a step forward for both communities. You know what it’s like living in Athens. It’s a very divided town. I also think there’s a need and a want to be friendly with one another and friendly with all people in the town you live in. Church comDanielle Beverly munities are by their nature that way. Frankly, Hill First Baptist Church and its grounds are in 50 percent of the film. FP: Tell me more about the community garden at the church that’s featured in the film. DB: When you live in a neighborhood where you’re filming, it’s not like parachuting in. I’m walking home from a couple blocks away with my camera, and I see on the grounds at Hill First Baptist Church this woman who is pulling kudzu by hand—a white woman, older, who I’ve never seen at the church, and she’s doing this Sisyphean task. It was so cinematic, I had to film it. It turns out that she’s been planting a garden there. Ray and Karen [Whitten] came to Athens to retire and become involved in what they thought was a very diverse community. Karen was at the Atlanta premiere, and she shared in a Q&A with the audience that Athens is a very racially divided community. This community garden ended up being an agent of change for the neighborhood. The gentrification had started by then. The park on the corner [Reese and Pope Park] that you see early in the film was an older park, primarily used by black residents, old and young, then became gentrified, upgraded. It didn’t make it into the film, a meeting for that process. The fraternity has kicked in the door for gentrification, but it’s important to note, the black community got activated at that time, and they fought for historic designation. Now, the fraternity was already there. They had snuck their plans in, so that’s getting built. But that doesn’t mean

the neighborhood wants more fraternities, huge housing, huge buildings that are going to change the character of the neighborhood and ultimately cause problems. They did an extensive amount of research. Hope gave me the documentation after they were done, and it’s the size of a phone book from New York in the ‘60s. There were going to be no more large structures there because of this organized activism by the community. Also, though, people started selling [their homes], and it’s a much different place now. That’s also in the film—you see the change in the park, and the fraternity’s now the ones using the basketball court, houses are selling, and new ones are being built. FP: That all started before the fraternity was built, though. DB: It definitely was a way of saying, ‘College students, now this is your neighborhood, too.’ Not just a rental house here and there, but an entire block, except for Hope’s mother’s house. FP: Also, the Hancock-Reese neighborhood formed a partnership with Cobbham, which is a very different, white, affluent neighborhood nearby that was also fighting off fraternities and dealing with students for a long time as well. Angela Drury

Old South

DB: Yeah! There was a small group of people early on who were working with the Reese neighborhood to mobilize them or help them in their organizing efforts. You’ll see early in the film people in Cobbham or on the edge of the Reese neighborhood in the church going for the historic designation. But again, this is a black community, taking their community into their own hands and going up against the government. You have to prove to the municipality that this is worthy of their [declaring] it historic. FP: You must have had so much footage. How did you decide what to use, and is there anything you regret leaving out? DB: There’s one scene I left out that we tried finding the right spot for probably 50 times, and it’s my absolute favorite scene in the film. It’s with Thelma Hurley, who’s Hope’s grandmother, was the principal at the black school, was everybody’s teacher in the black community, and she just died within the last month. This film is a valentine to Thelma Hurley. f

Cancer and a Ghost Death Stalks Teens for our Enjoyment By Drew Wheeler

YA thing, though nowhere near as much as, say, Youth in Revolt. The movie has twinges of Wes Anderson twee-ness, but that’s a good thing. Animated asides! An impression of Werner Herzog on the vagaries of high school! They help balance out the pall cast by the impending doom of Greg and Rachel’s friendship. Though Mann and Cooke get the focus, Cyler may be the breakout. His Earl is laidback and loyal with a very teenage-boy focus; coupled with Dope’s Shameik Moore, summer 2015 has been gold for young African-American male actors, a trend we hope will continue. Me and Earl and the Dying Girl may lack the bestselling hook or hot “it� actress to fill up multiplexes, but it should bloom once it graduates to other distributive outlets.

Oddly, these odd spaces go ill used, especially as the movie builds to its theatrical climax. As found-footage plot engines go, The Gallows’ backstory intrigues. Twenty years earlier, a young man named Charlie died in a freak accident during the high school production of a play called “The Gallows.â€? It does not take much of an imagination to figure out what happened to the young thespian. For no good reason, the drama club looks to restage this tragic play, and for very poor reasons, Reese, Ryan and Cassidy steal into the school at night to sabotage the production in the hopes of saving it.

B-52s’ Kate Pierson Steps Out On Her Own By Marshall Yarbrough music@flagpole.com

G

uitars and Microphones, Kate Pierson’s first solo record after nearly four decades with the B-52s, begins with a song called “Throw Down the Roses.” It’s hard not to understand the tune as Pierson herself throwing down the gauntlet—or at least announcing her arrival. In bold lines leading up to a rousing chorus, the singer slips in and out of several concert cliché roles, from crowd-surfer to hanger-on, only to finally assert an identity independent of all of them: “I don’t need a wristband to tell me who I am.” Of course, Pierson cautions against reading too much into that song, or others on the album, specifically with regard to her main gig. “It is definitely drawn from my experience, but in no way do any of these songs reflect any autobiographical thing with the B-52s. In retrospect, it seems like, ‘Oh, I wrote that because I’m breaking out’,” she says, citing the lyric, “there’s an end to the show.” But the B-52s are alive and well, she insists, adding, “We’re playing all over the place this summer!” Having assuaged any fears of internecine strife in one of Athens’ longest-running acts, Pierson gets down to what prompted her, after all this time, to finally make a record on her own. “My intention for the past 38 years was to do this,” she explains, but the B-52s’ schedule, plus the desire to have “some kind of life outside the band” led to “several failed attempts when I wrote a bunch of songs” with no firm result. “There was a certain amount of fear in putting out a solo thing and stepping outside the comfort zone of the band,” Pierson admits. The breakthrough came when Pierson’s life partner, Monica Coleman, suggested she enlist the help of their friend, the Australian-born singer-songwriter Sia Furler,

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ JULY 15, 2015

known in mainstream pop circles simply as Sia. Furler agreed, and the couple lit out for Los Angeles from their home in Woodstock, NY with their two dogs in tow and the idea, Pierson says, to “just get it done, you know? Really just put it out there.” Pierson talks of learning a more structured pop mindset from Sia. “I think, being a pop writer, Sia was thinking in terms of verse, pre-chorus and chorus,” Pierson says. “You can see, from the B-52s’ kind of writing, it never followed that kind of linear structure.”

There was a certain amount of fear in stepping outside the comfort zone of the band.

“

With this more conventional approach, the L.A. writing sessions proved productive. Pierson brought initial ideas to the studio, which her collaborators then helped flesh out. The key was not to get bogged down too much in detail, she says. “The thing that Sia taught me was [to] go for the melody,” she relates. “Don’t really focus so much on the lyrics; just go for the melody and the hook, and then you can sort of retrofit the lyrics.” Pierson cites “Mister Sister” as an instance of this technique’s success. The song directs words of encouragement to a budding transvestite, with a joyous, full-throated chorus greeting the performer’s arrival in drag. The real action is in the verses, though, where Pierson delivers the song’s punchiest lines: “Hey Mister Sister, they named you something biblical/ Now you are Debbie Delicious.” The record features a long roster of guest appearances, including The Strokes’ Nick Valensi. The guitarist’s touch is instantly recognizable as it pops up again and again

throughout the album, as on the chorus to “Bottoms Up.” Pierson reserves special praise for Valensi. “It was just great working with him,” she says. “One of the reasons I called [the record] Guitars and Microphones was that I’m playing guitar on some of the songs… but I hadn’t really played, you know, intently, accompanying myself for a long [time], so I had to re-learn. I was deconstructing the songs, and his guitar parts are so amazing. Simple, but just hooky as hell.” Valensi’s presence on the record brings things full circle, in a way, with a member of the last big downtown New York rock act teaming up with Pierson, who was part of the CBGB scene in the late ‘70s, when the B-52s would regularly make the drive up from Athens. That era was well represented at a show earlier this year, when Blondie’s Debbie Harrie joined Pierson and her band on stage in New York for a rendition of the B-52s’ “Roam.” For this summer’s string of shows, Pierson will be backed by The Mike + Ruthy Band, who will also play an opening set. Saturday’s show at the Georgia Theatre promises to be a high point of the tour. “This gig is gonna be a little different,” Pierson says, “so we’ve added a bunch of surprise songs… surprise guests… there might be some other hits that aren’t B-52s hits.” Of course, it’s only natural that the Athens show would stand out. “I’m really looking forward to seeing old friends come to the show,” Pierson says. “It’s always great to play Athens, because it’s like coming home.” f

Getting to Know‌ Who is Vaperror? By Nathan Kerce music@flagpole.com

V

aperror is a newcomer to the world of Athens music. The project hasn’t appeared live much; beyond a lot of praise for its genre-challenging music from Flagpole and elsewhere, not much is known about this mysterious up-and-comer. Ahead of a rush of new music and performances this fall, we managed to track down the man behind the mask. Here are a few things you need to know: What is Vaperror? Vaperror is the alias of one Jeff Cardinal, an experimental electronic artist who’s coming up quick in the Athens music scene. He’s only 21.

the project is signed to premier vaporwave label Dream Catalogue. What should I listen to? The best place to start is Vaperror’s December 2014 release, System Delight, a heady concept album about an out-of-thisworld love story that Cardinal describes as “a short narrative I wrote when I was about halfway finished with the album. It seemed to fit what I was going for. Basically, two computer programs spawn from a central AI unit, ‘System Delight.’ The album is their journey experiencing newfound sentience [as] expressed through music.​� There are also two excellent compilations of past

What does his music sound like? Cardinal mixes hyper-paced drum patterns with smooth synth lines and the occasional vocal sample to create distinct and heavily relaxing mood music. Vaperror’s body of work is deeply rooted in niche subgenres like future bass and vaporwave. The general musical aesthetic is very warm and seems designed for a wacky summer vacation playlist. Where did he come from? Cardinal is originally from Michigan but arrived at UGA in January to complete his bachelor’s degree in computer science. After spending time in various garage bands, he started to explore electronic music at the age of 17. After a lot of starts and stops and a brief hiatus, Cardinal formed Vaperror as the culmination of what he “really wanted out of electronic music, and music-making in general.� Why should I care? Almost immediately upon arriving in Athens, Vaperror began to receive heavy local airplay on WUOG 90.5 FM, as well as a lot of shoutouts from resident good-guy and Flagpole columnist Gordon Lamb. Also,

Vaperror material and collaborative efforts at vaperror.bandcamp.com. If you just can’t get enough, Cardinal also makes experimental ambient music under the name Useless. What’s his live show like? In Cardinal’s own words: “My live show is a DJ set where I play underground dance, trap and other genres of music. I want to spread music I like that hasn’t been played out. It’s all very ‘dance-able.’ I enjoy a good rhythm and melody. I might attempt to bring up the skill level in my sets by adding instruments, but it just takes more time to create a set like that.� What’s next? Vaperror’s next album, Polychromatic Compiler, is out via Dream Catalogue on July 23. Cardinal is playing a rare (to this point) live show at Flicker on July 20. f

Tedo Stone Rubs Some Dirt On It Plus, More Music News and Gossip By Gordon Lamb threatsandpromises@flagpole.com TIME MARSHES ON: Although he technically calls Atlanta home, songwriter Tedo Stone sure does log a whole lotta time in Athens. His upcoming album, Marshes, to be released in September by This is American Music, was recorded live to tape by engineer Drew Vandenberg. Stone’s live band and studio band are different, but the album includes several Athens luminaries, including McKendrick Bearden (Grand Vapids), Thayer Sarrano, Frank Keith IV (The District Attorneys), Matthew Anderegg (New Wives), Grafton Tanner and Clay Houle. The lead single from Marshes is called, appropriately enough, “To the Marshes.” I don’t really get the idea that this is supposed to sound like Dinosaur Jr. meets Neil Young, as the press release indicates. The first band that popped into my mind was Suede. Sure, a dirtied-up Suede, but I hear it nonetheless. Stone’s voice even warbles at times just like Marc Bolan. So, it’s kinda like Marc Bolan singing for Suede in 2015. But with some dirt on its face, because that’s the only way glam-influenced Americana is gonna make it outta the gate these days. It’s a dang fine tune. Check it out at tedostone.com. BEDSIT MANNER: Approximately four minutes of “teaser” music from the cassette split release between Stay at Home Dad and Futo Tedo Stone is now online. The actual tape features 10 minutes of music from each artist and is reportedly being issued in an edition of 10. As in, only 10 copies. I dunno, man: I dig both these artists a lot, and each adds a welcome breath of fresh, creative, new-wave-peppered air to the Athens scene. I bet they could have at least sold 15. Anyway, dig the samples over at 1800stayathomedad. bandcamp.com. ONE OF OUR OWN: Normally, this column only sings the praises of musicians, but now, I want you to pay attention to someone behind the scenes. Vanda Guthrie, wife of Michael Guthrie, mother of the late Jon Guthrie and sisterin-law of the late Herb Guthrie, has tirelessly supported, nurtured and acted as surrogate mom to many Athens musicians. She is, hands down, one of the most lovely and caring people I’ve ever met in Athens, and she needs our help. Last month Vanda, who cares also for the community

at large via her leadership position at the Salvation Army, underwent heart surgery and will need at least two–three months of recovery time. A GoFundMe campaign has been set up and is doing fairly well, but could do better, too. Please consider giving what you can to help her during this time where no further stress is needed. See gofundme.com/ xedjqw to donate. SAVE THE DATES: The fourth Athens Intensified festival will happen Oct. 7–10 at multiple downtown venues. Full disclosure: This is my event, but it’s also legit news, and this is the news column, so here we are. Lineup announcements will come soon, but go ahead and save the dates. For more information, visit athensintensified.com or facebook.com/ athensintensified, and/or drop a line to director@athensintensified.com. Thank you. AND ANOTHER: The aforementioned Thayer Sarrano has a new album coming out Aug. 28. It’s titled Shaky, and its lead single is “Crease.” It’s a heavily layered track of the sort we’ve come to expect from Sarrano. Distinctly, though, “Crease” is the sound of urgency cuffed to its own reserve. When the song builds and builds and, at the 1:47 mark, the vocals double up in a reverb swell, it’s more like the emotion is collapsing in on itself, rather than bustin’ loose. Listen at least a couple of times to see what I mean. It’s a hell of an effect and makes for a very cool listening experience. For more information, see thayersarrano.com and facebook.com/thayersarrano. SEEN YOUR VIDEO: It’s time to make your plans for the Sprockets Music Video Festival, which runs Friday, July 24 and Saturday, July 25. The first evening is the International Music Video Show at the 40 Watt Club. Videos from Belgium, Chile, the United Kingdom, Israel, Australia, Poland, Austria and more will be screened. The next afternoon, Sprockets will host industry speakers at Flicker Theatre and Bar, and that evening, the event returns to the 40 Watt for the Georgia Music Video Show. Little Kings Shuffle Club will host an afterparty with the Booty Boyz. For more information, see filmathens.net, and check next week’s Flagpole for a preview feature. f

Family and Friends: XOXO EP (Independent Release) XOXO, the second short-form release from the Athens-based ensemble Family and Friends, is full of percussive acoustic guitar workouts, vaguely biblical lyrical themes and massive, uplifting choruses. Which is to say, the EP certainly won’t help the group shake the Mumford & Sons comparisons that have followed them from the start. (I’m not convinced “Amadeus” isn’t actually a Babel B-side.) Not that the Friends seem all that concerned about it. The group bests its local posi-rock contemporaries by virtue of the musicians’ fearful skill sets and their willingness to get dirty when necessary: The Friends aren’t afraid to fuzz the hell out, as evidenced by fourth-track standout “Howl,” with its dense, dark singalong coda. Thankfully, XOXO isn’t all bland universalism; the brooding “Parasites” introduces a welcome bitter flavor to the mix. By and large, though, Family and Friends’ well-executed music continues to live up to its sanguine band name. If cheery, anthemic folk-pop is your thing, XOXO will likely be your favorite local recording of the year. If it ain’t? Don’t say I didn’t warn ya. [Gabe Vodicka]

Surprising Local Finds

She Came for the Ghosts

Teriyaki 101 and Niece’s Surpass Expectations

Sabrina Orah Mark’s Prose Poems

By Hillary Brown food@flagpole.com

By Gabrielle Lucille Fuentes poetlandia@flagpole.com Teriyaki 101 is open Sunday–Thursday from 11 a.m.–9 p.m. and until 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. It does take-out and serves no booze. LOCAL: In no way comparable to a chain, on the other hand, but delightful in its own fashion is Niece’s Soul Food Cafe (50 Gaines School Road, 706-850-6696). Venture into the Gaines School Shoppes, where Lighthouse Seafood Palace is also serving tasty food, and look for the AfricanAsian market. Niece’s, which is named after its proprietor—nicknamed “Niece” after her middle name, Denise—operates a small steam table in the back of the space, with two meats and four or so vegetables, plus a daily dessert. The atmosphere at the few tall tables clustered just inside the store’s entrance isn’t exactly formal, with “Judge Mathis” on the TV and a couple of cute children running around. Nothing is made to order, and yet it all tastes good. Baked chicken, smothered in gravy, isn’t healthy like its name suggests, but it is flavorful and tender enough to eat with only a fork (luckily enough, as the plastic utensil dispenser contains only forks and spoons). A fried pork chop must be picked up and chewed on but isn’t so greasy that doing so is a hazard. The greens are a little too finely chopped, but the candied yams aren’t nearly as sweet as at most places. The lima beans are very soft, dissolving into a kind of tasty, savory mush when subjected to any pressure, but they don’t suffer for it. The macaroni and cheese is good stuff. And a clearly housemade pinklemonade layer cake with yellow frosting is intensely sweet and sour and Southern, sitting on a stand to be sliced when you ask for it, rather than pre-portioned on sad Styrofoam plates. Niece’s is open Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m.–4 p.m. It posts its daily menu on Facebook, which might include spicy cabbage with sausage, fried fish, BBQ ribs, oxtails, goat, meatloaf or pot roast, but does not include the burgers and wings advertised elsewhere in the store (made by another party during different hours). The desserts appear a particular point of emphasis, with apple dumplings, tall layer cakes and pies available, depending on the week. A plate of meat, two veggies, sugary cornbread and a big cup of sweet tea will run you $8.50. f

This week we have a prose poem by Sabrina Orah Mark, prizewinning local author and teacher. The prose poem is a curious and fascinating form: between story and poem, written in sentences rather than broken up into lines. For our attentiondeficit world, the prose poem is the star of the hour, like a written Vine video with the capacity to smash and mend your heart in seconds. It is the genre Mark first fell in love with, because it is “a form both possible and impossible, wild and tame, country and city, hungry and full.” A native of Brooklyn, NY, Mark came to Athens primarily for the ghosts (and also to study writing at the University of Georgia, where she got her PhD). She calls Athens a “strange and dreamy town, punctuated by contradiction and grit,” where “the nation’s history of racial discrimination still casts a very long shadow.” She runs her own writing workshops in Athens where she encourages students to experiment in storytelling methods and delights in the wilderness created by their writing. Find out more about her workshops at liveplantscorsages.tumblr.com/ whatsyourstory. Mark is a generous and enigmatic soul. Her writing draws you in with Sabrina Orah Mark the beauty and mystery of a ring of red lipstick on a glass. But then suddenly the scene shifts—her words frighten and shock with their strangeness, their ability to communicate complex emotions through seemingly simple images. Be sure to check out her haunting collections of poetry, Tsim Tsim and The Babies, both out on Saturnalia Books and available at Avid Bookshop. The following prose poem, “The Stepmother,” is a fairy tale told from the stepmother’s point of view about the cruelty of love, children, family and dreams. Its opening line is one of the best ever.

POLISHED: It’s not that easy to find something to eat when you’re out on Epps Bridge Parkway, and you’d rather give your business to someone local. Catch 22 is good, and although Keba and Barberitos have franchised themselves, they still count as options. Chef Ming is hiding over next to Kroger and is reliably tasty. But, on the whole, the pickings are slim. Teriyaki 101 (1805 Epps Bridge Pkwy., 706-353-0823), located in the small strip mall in front of Lowe’s, between Aspen Dental and Visionworks, resembles a chain in its focused concept, slick interior and cute logo, but is, in fact, a unique business. Open for about half a year, the place is easy to miss, but, while its offerings are far from revolutionary, it’s not a bad spot to grab a quick meal. The teriyaki section of the menu, available as either a bowl or a wrap, allows you to assemble your meal Subwaystyle: Pick your delivery system, your rice (steamed or fried), your protein (chicken, pork, beef, shrimp—no tofu, surprisingly), your veggies (green peppers, onions, mushrooms, letTeriyaki 101 tuce, tomato, steamed mix of broccoli, carrots and cabbage), toppings (cheese, sour cream, nori) and a sauce (spicy Korean, yum yum, teriyaki or wasabi mayo). The shrimp is cooked to order on a small grill in the back, but everything else is ready to go. Choosing a wrap may seem a little weird, but it means you can assemble a pretty tasty Korean burrito, the kind of treat otherwise unavailable except for from the Streets food cart. The folks behind the counter are adept at explaining what’s what, no slack-jawed slowpokes to be found. If you want to venture away from the most important part of the menu, you can also get fried rice (the beef is perhaps the best, but it’s all decent), chicken tenders, Buffalo wings (available in a wide range of flavors and as a combo with fried rice, blue cheese, celery and a soda), fried shrimp and very well-executed fried fish (whiting or tilapia, lightly battered, fried to order and available in the same kind of combo as the wings, minus the blue cheese/celery). The decor is clean and simple in a long, narrow space with a couple of flat-screen TVs tuned to ESPN. There are kids’ combos and hush puppies, as well as an array of sauces with which you can doctor your food (sriracha, duck sauce, soy sauce). It is, on the whole, clean, well put together and a step in the right direction for the area.

The Stepmother “You smell like Florida. We hate you.” The Stepmother knows from the crushed handwriting this note is from The Stepchildren. At the bottom of the note is a drawing of a mouse. The Stepmother wants to know what does the mouse mean. The mouse seems lonely and afraid. Its eyes are too big. The Stepmother peels a hardboiled egg, eats it very quietly, and thinks about the mouse, and Florida, and smelling like Florida. No one wants to smell like Florida. If The Stepmother had any

guts she would go to the yard this instant and paint all the trees white, but The Stepmother has no guts. If The Stepmother had any guts her husband who is the father of The Stepchildren who believe she smells like Florida would come home and see the trees and say what in god’s name have you done? Do you think we’re living in a goddamn fairy tale here? The Stepmother would stand there with her large bucket of paint, and her guts, and tell her husband the trees are now white because she is not a real Mother, she will never be a real Mother, and also she is thinking of running away with the mouse. She would sob and say something strange and dramatic like how she feels as though she’s three plagues short of an exodus even though she doesn’t really have any plagues except for smelling like Florida. But none of this will happen because The Stepmother has no guts, and this is America not a fairy tale. This is a state in America that is not Florida even though The Stepmother is reeking of it. The Stepmother wants to know what does the mouse mean. It is a beautiful mouse. The Stepmother has no guts but she does have some scissors which she uses to cut the mouse out. No one wants to be lonely, and afraid, and live in a note about smelling like Florida. Once The Stepmother cuts the mouse out the mouse shivers. It is a very sad shiver. Sadder than all The Stepmother’s sadnesses, and somehow this comforts her. The Stepmother isn’t certain whether the shiver is from coldness or relief, but she cuts off a strand of her hair and wraps it around the mouse’s shoulders anyway. The mouse falls asleep in the palm of The Stepmother’s hand, and dreams of guts, and white trees, and the kindness of The Stepmother. The mouse is what the mouse means. It’s The Stepchildren who mean something else. It’s The Stepchildren who mean something far, far away, like a Mother. When The Stepchildren come home The Stepmother will hug and kiss them and wipe their dirty little hands until their hearts break in two.

Summer Vacation Artists Explore the Season through Nostalgia and Leisure By Jessica Smith arts@flagpole.com It’s natural to fall into an annual pattern of activity that mirrors the ebb and flow of the seasons. Just as the flower buds begin to bloom in spring, we stretch our limbs from the stillness of winter and plant our own seeds for materializing dreams during the following season. When summer finally rolls around, many of us hit the ground running with lofty visions of adventure, escapism and personal growth. Deeply rooted in nostalgia with only a tinge of sun-baked lethargy, “Summer Vacation�—a group exhibition curated by Didi Dunphy and currently on display in the Gallery@ Hotel Indigo—explores this beloved, memory-making season marked by recreation, travel and exploration. After leafing through 100 or so issues of National Geographic that dated between the 1950s–‘70s and had since been abandoned at a local thrift store, artist Winnie Gier tore out any pages that specifically depicted travelers and tourists admiring natural formations within the landscape. These vintage images serve as the core component of her unusual set of destination photos, “Lookers.� “I wanted to use these magazine pages to make art because of the pure physicality of the thing,� says Gier. “The distinctive Kodachrome color, the fuzziness of the image, the chunky ‘grain’ from the dot-matrix printing process, the slick page and the smell of old cigarettes and mildew that permeated the room every time I opened it were all sensations that made me drunk with nostalgia.� Elevating the scenes beyond their simple journalistic reportage, Gier digitally layered flat pools of color over the centerpieces eliciting gazes or gestures. By obscuring the objects of wonderment in each photograph, a new sense of mystery is created for the gallery viewer looking in. “In the time these images were made, summer vacations were mostly afforded to the affluent,� says Gier. “People who might otherwise not be able to afford to travel out west or visit national parks or foreign lands could appreciate these destinations through the photography in the magazines.� In an era where virtually every part of the world can now be Googled for crystal-clear images, “Lookers� leaves imperceivable destinations that remain left to the imagination. The photography of Adam Forrester similarly offers fleeting glimpses into the past, prompted by the artist’s recollections and alluding to historical happenings near his small hometown of Phenix City, AL. Selected from an

ongoing series called “In the Valley,� the three scenes create an impressionistic view of a now-quiet place that was once overrun with enough organized crime and corruption in the 1950s to have earned the nickname “Sin City.� Though Forrester has spent many years living away from his homeGeorgia Rhodes town, frequent return trips have instilled a new sense of appreciation and curiosity. “Summer in my hometown is quiet, mysterious and beautiful—the humidity, the history and swimming at night,� he says. “Growing up, I spent most of my summer vacations trying to get the hell out of my hometown. Now, I’m back there every summer.� Given the theme of the exhibition, a series of rope sculptures crafted by Jourdan Joly may call to mind intricate friendship bracelets woven at summer camp, practical knots picked up for wilderness exploration or even ambitious routes for potential road trips. Instead, finding inspiration through Japanese decorative knots and calligraphy, Joly creates symmetrical designs that are strikingly fluid in their many twists and curves, yet delicately frozen into gravity-defying positions. This kineticism is reinforced through using a medium so readily associated with activity and movement. “Rope is a great metaphor for the physical makeup of things—thinking about how it is formed by tiny fibers wound together to make thread, which then combined together makes string, and that combined and woven together in multiples creates the rope,� says Joly. “It’s like how everything is made from successively smaller components, but in combination make a greater whole. For instance, think of your own body as one whole entity, but it’s made of threads of muscles, veins and arteries, tendons and bones—and of course many other things, but you get the picture.� Like some sort of psychedelic, three-dimensional Rorschach test, the synergy between positive and negative spaces within each of Joly’s sculptures captivates the mind into tracing patterns and discovering hidden images. No portrayal of summer would be complete without the inclusion of some good old-fashioned, adrenaline-inducing leisure activities, best represented in the show through a

large site-specific collage by Michael Levine. Inspired by his own summer experiences revolving around tennis camp and lessons, the mural includes a mound of bright green tennis balls between a towering man with a racket in hand and a row of stomping bare feet. Through a mix of abstraction and loose narrative, viewers are left to form their own interpretation of the scene. While Levine embraces an energetic athleticism, the tongue-in-cheek works of Georgia Rhodes represent the struggle of detaching from technological devices in order to fully be present, here and now, in the natural world. Two time-lapse photographs of a star-streaked sky juxtaposed with the messages “Just one with dinner� and “Okay another episode and that’s it� should be immediately relatable to anyone who’s chosen to spend an evening indoors with Netflix instead of outdoors with Mother Earth. Her works playfully push viewers to break through the sluggishness that so often settles in at the peak of summer heat—no judgement passed, as it truthfully is almost “too hot to fish� out there—and take advantage of exploring nature in its prime. “Summer Vacation� is rounded out by a wall full of sweetly smiling Dolly Partons pulled from “Tease it to Jesus,� a collection of portraits organized by Smokey Road Press. In addition to reigning as the Queen of Country, Parton is also the namesake of Dollywood theme park, one of the most popular tourist destinations for vacationing families in the Great Smoky Mountains. “Dolly is always in full bloom,� says shop owner Margot Ecke. “When we think of Dolly, we think of color, music, glitter and gold. She is the perfect compliment to the themes of summer.� “Summer Vacation� will remain on view through Thursday, Sept. 24, one day past the autumnal equinox. f

Love as Laughter

Caledonia Lounge · 9:30 p.m. · $5 (21+), $7 (18–20) Singer-songwriter Sam Jayne first came to underground prominence in the early 1990s with his band Lync, the Pacific Northwestern proto-emo outfit that only lasted two short years but would nonetheless prove highly influential on that regional scene’s development. Since 1994, Jayne has fronted Love as Laughter, a janglier, quirkier indie rock group. Now based in Brooklyn, the band— which has previously released music on mega-indie Sub Pop, as well as Modest Mouse mastermind Isaac Brock’s Glacial Pace imprint—just dropped a great new 7-inch single, the infectious “Lazy Soldier” b/w the slow-rolling, psych-flavored “Oasis.” [GV]

Terrapin Brewery · 4:30–7:30 p.m. · $20–24 The Athens Nurses Clinic’s sixth annual fundraiser combines two Classic City flavors by pairing cold glasses of the brewery’s craft beers alongside sandwiches prepared with thick slices of locally grown tomatoes—a staple of any Southern garden. The event is a major source of funding for the nonprofit clinic, which provides health services to uninsured, low- and no-income residents of Athens and surrounding counties. The clinic’s services include acute care, chronic disease management, laboratory services, dentistry, women’s health and prescription assistance.

Though Banton continued to flirt with crossover success in the ‘90s, collaborating with Sting, UB40 and other MOR reggae enthusiasts, his earnest, spiritually-tinged brand of dancehall never quite caught on with a mainstream audience. Currently performing with a talented backing group called The Now Generation, Banton swings through Athens as part of a lengthy, small-club summer tour. [GV]

from this. It will make you more cautious, you’ll be a better friend to future women in your life, and it will help you to understand what love really is. Love yourself. You should not be treated like a shameful secret. You deserve a person who will take you out in public and be proud of you. This guy is not the one, and he doesn’t want to be. You two might try to make it work after this is all said and done, but believe me: Any romantic, public, monogamous relationship you have with him after this affair will be colored by the fact that you started out as the side chick. It’s not a place of honor, and men know that. You deserve a man who respects you from the start. f Need advice? Email advice@flagpole.com, or use the anonymous form at flagpole.com/getadvice.

Waiting, I am genuinely sorry to tell you this, but you and this asshole are not in a relationship. If you were, you’d do more than just meet up and have sex when his girlfriend isn’t around. He’s cheating on your friend with you, and he intends to never tell her. Unless this guy and your friend moved out and split up the pets, they never broke up. They were just pissed at each other for a minute, and he took it too far and cheated on her with you. I venture that he’s one of those dudes who thinks of himself as a “nice guy,” so he probably thinks that he can lie his way out of this without hurting anyone. He is not “waiting for the right time” but is actually just treading water until this blows up in his face. While he’s desperately trying to think up a way out of this, he’s also having a blast and feeling like a pimp with two women on
