Packing the Court Gov. Deal Hopes Adding Judges Will Sway Rulings By Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com In 1937, President Franklin Roosevelt tried to neutralize a conservative Supreme Court by proposing to add six new justices who presumably would give him more favorable rulings. Roosevelt’s court-packing scheme was unpopular even within his own party, and the proposal went nowhere. Gov. Nathan Deal is also trying to pack Georgia’s appellate courts, but unlike the former president, he may be able to achieve his goal. He has already persuaded the General Assembly to expand the Georgia Court of Appeals from 12 judges to 15, with Deal appointing the three new judges. Deal didn’t have to go through the formality of introducing a bill so that legislators could debate this issue. Lawmakers simply amended another bill in the closing hours of the legislative session. The governor now wants to expand the state Supreme Court from seven justices to nine, with Deal again picking the new members. The Supreme Court has angered business interests by not automatically ruling in their favor whenever cases involving corporations come before them. Business groups were especially peeved when the court threw out major parts of the medical malpractice law that made it difficult for patients to sue doctors who harmed them. That was actually a very conservative ruling; the right to sue for malpractice goes back all the way to the 1798 state constitution. But to hear some people talk about it, you’d think the Supreme Court was a bunch of dangerous radicals for upholding this right. Business groups have tried but failed to get rid of sitting justices at the ballot box. In 2004, then-Gov. Sonny Perdue called for the defeat of Leah Ward Sears, the first black woman ever appointed to the state Supreme Court. Sears crushed her

opponent by drawing more than 62 percent of the vote. In 2006, corporate interests, including Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus, amassed a large pile of campaign cash to try to defeat Justice Carol Hunstein. That influx of money prompted Savannah Morning News columnist Tom Barton to observe that big business was trying to buy a seat on the court. Hunstein piled up 63 percent of the vote to trounce her opponent. Another motivation for Deal’s courtpacking effort is the longevity of lawyers who are appointed to the high court. Four of the current justices were appointed by Democratic governors, while Deal has only been able to appoint one justice. If Deal succeeds in his judicial initiative, it will be the latest wrinkle in what has been a little-noted aspect of his administration: Deal has consolidated a tremendous amount of power in the executive branch. With the creation of a state charter school commission and the state’s ability to take over low-performing schools, Deal has essentially become the state school superintendent. Deal could also be seen as a shadow speaker of the House of Representatives, able to get his policy initiatives approved without even bothering to introduce bills. Deal now has the authority to expand the state Court of Appeals and will likely be allowed to expand the Supreme Court as well. That would give him unprecedented influence over the judicial branch of state government. Roosevelt was one of the most powerful presidents ever seen in this country, but even he couldn’t pack the Supreme Court. It looks like Deal will accomplish what Roosevelt couldn’t—which would be an impressive display of political clout. f

month organized by the ADDA drew 6,000 people—and it also benefited restaurants. “Not everybody who came to the food truck festival ate at the food trucks,� Hamby said. (I can confirm this: I took one look at the lines and went to a nearby wheel-less burger joint.) Hamby also noted that brick-and-mortar restaurants may want to start their own food trucks. In fact, the current debate was sparked by the owners of the now-closed Farm 255, who had also started Farm Cart (now under new ownership) and wanted to park it downtown. “I hope restaurants aren’t stepping on their own toes when they perhaps want to open a food truck in the future,� Thompson said. Denson instructed Herod, who chairs the commission’s Government Operations Committee, to meet with restaurant owners and hear their concerns. “I think it never hurts to hear more from our citizens,� Denson said.

The close ties between Broun’s congressional office, his campaign and Hice’s campaign may have violated federal election regulations in other ways. Longtime Broun aide Jordan Chinouth—who also ran Broun’s successful re-election campaigns in 2008, 2010 and 2012—left Broun’s office last year to start a consulting firm and served as Hice’s campaign manager.

Pulaski Street. A building fronting Prince will include space for a grocery store, with 146 one- and two-bedroom apartments above and behind it, as well as a parking deck. Although the density is far less than what’s ordinarily allowed downtown, it needs a rezoning to move forward, and it’s headed to the ACC Planning Commission Nov. 5. So far, it’s gotten positive reviews from everyone who’s seen the plans. Broun Going Doun?: A federal grand jury in Macon is looking into whether former Rep. Paul Broun and his successor, Rep. Jody Hice, misused taxpayer funds by mixing official business with their campaigns. Consultant Brett O’Donnell is facing five years in prison for lying to investigators. Broun’s office paid O’Donnell $43,000 in taxpayer money to prepare Broun for debates when he ran for Senate last year. At the urging of Broun’s chief of staff, David Bowser, O’Donnell initially told

grants who grew up in the U.S. to continue working and studying here without fear of deportation. The state spends $200 million a year on K-12 for these students, yet essentially forces even valedictorians to go out of state to continue their education. (Before anyone asks why we’re wasting money on those who are HERE ILLEGALLY!!!11!BENGHAZI, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that everyone is entitled to a K-12 education regardless of immigration status.) Meanwhile, a Georgia Budget and Policy Institute report released earlier this month says Georgia is shooting itself in the foot by banning undocumented immigrants from competitive-admission schools and forcing them to pay out-of-state tuition at open-enrollment colleges. Georgia is falling behind 27 other states with more inclusive policies and losing out on $10 million in annual tax revenue due to the policy, according to the report. f

From Peanuts to Prison The Parnell brothers expected a slap on the wrist for knowingly selling tainted peanuts that killed nine people. They got 20-plus years, marking a major win for food-safety accountability. By Allison Floyd news@flagpole.com

B

efore a federal judge in Albany sentenced three former South Georgia peanut company employees to long prison sentences on Sept. 21, he listened to eight people share their stories about relatives who got seriously sick or died from salmonella hiding in snack crackers or peanut butter. The prison terms he laid down—28 years for the company owner, Stewart Parnell, and 20 years for his brother, Michael Parnell—shocked many people in the industry, but sent a message that Americans are demanding accountability for unsafe food. Around Thanksgiving 2008, people across the country started to get deathly ill. By the time the Food and Drug Administration connected the outbreak with a peanut processing plant in Blakely, several people had died. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officially connected 714 illnesses, plus nine deaths, to salmonellatainted peanuts that came from the Georgia plant, but estimate 22,000 more may have gotten sick. In court last month, Virginia Lorentz described how she had just moved her mother into an assisted living facility to help her recover from cancer. Shirley Almer had beaten back the disease and could rebuild her strength faster with regular physical therapy. Lorentz made her mother a sandwich the day she moved in. “I was the one who fed her the peanut butter that killed her,” Lorentz said. Three years passed before she removed her mother’s number from her phone. Gabrielle Meunier went into graphic detail about what happened to her 7-yearold son after he scarfed down packs of peanut-butter crackers during baseball practice

one day. A week later, hospital staff wore protective clothing to handle little Chris Meunier, who was so contaminated, he was in reverse isolation. “There was no comfort [for him], only terror,” Meunier said. Ernest Carter, a burly, 225-pound man with a football player’s physique, sobbed his way through describing the hospital stays that his grandmother Minnie endured as she slipped away over weeks of illness. “The salmonella had ripped her insides apart. Her organs wouldn’t function—just from eating some peanut-butter crackers,” Carter said. “My grandmother suffered the maximum

penalty for eating something she loves. She died.” These people and others waited for years to see justice and to know that the regulatory system that failed their children or parents had been fixed. Darin Detwiler was there, but didn’t speak. Today, Detwiler works for STOP Foodborne Illness, but 22 years ago, he was a young father who lost his son to E. coli poisoning. Detwiler’s toddler son, Riley, died after he contracted deadly bacteria during the 1993 outbreak connected to

the fast-food restaurant Jack in the Box. “I got emotional realizing that I had waited 22 years… not to see Stewart Parnell go to jail, not to see another family with an empty chair at the table… but to see something resolved to show that the Food Safety Modernization Act would stand up,” Detwiler said. For years after Riley Detwiler and three other children died from E. coli introduced by Jack in the Box hamburgers, regulators

The outbreak of salmonella poisoning from a peanut plant—where inspectors documented rodents and a leaky roof— was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

“

approached food safety as a meat issue, Detwiler said. But beginning in 2006, a series of outbreaks involving produce—organically grown spinach, green onions and lettuce—showed that meat wasn’t the only danger. The outbreak of salmonella poisoning from a peanut plant—where inspectors documented rodents and a leaky roof—was the straw that broke the camel’s back. A bipartisan group of legislators passed the FSMA, the first major overhaul of the American food system in 100 years. The law

requires new rules for the safe handling of produce and sets standards for how food is grown overseas, among other things. It’s a big step in the right direction, but not the silver bullet with the effect of fixing everything wrong with our food system, Detwiler said later. The U.S. still has a long way to go. Unlike some other countries, the U.S. has 15 different agencies that play some role in food safety. The division of responsibility between the FDA and U.S. Department of Agriculture can seem ridiculous at times. According to Detwiler, eggs in the shell are regulated by one agency, but eggs out of the shell by the other. Frozen pizza with meat toppings answers to one agency, while cheese-only pizza to the other. And for all its ground-breaking, FSMA hasn’t been put into practice yet. Seven major rules aren’t finished. The earliest will first be applied next year. Still, the case in Georgia drew attention to food safety in a new way, and the sentence showed a change in attitude. When Colorado brothers Eric and Ryan Jensen were charged with shipping Listeriacontaminated cantaloupe that killed 33 people in 2011, they got five years’ probation. When father and son Jack and Peter DeCoster were charged with making 2,000 people sick in 2010 through salmonellatainted eggs, they got three months in jail. “It’s a big difference between a few months and 28 years… The shock and denial coming from the [defense] side of the room was palpable,” Detwiler said. “They honestly thought they were going to get a few months in prison. But if that had happened, you might as well have wadded up FSMA and thrown it in the trash. It wouldn’t have been worth the paper it was printed on.” The Parnells will appeal. f

THE LIBERTY LAW OFFICE OF JASON WILSON Have you recently been bitten by a dog or slipped at a place of business, and you are now looking to sue? Well, piss off. I’m not an ambulance chaser, and you need to be more careful. (A good tip - Always let a strange dog sniff your hand before you reach out to pet him). However, if you have been charged with drug possession, prostitution, solicitation, or any of America’s other absurd vice laws, then I might be able to help you. As I am a believer that it is not any politician or police officer’s business what consenting adults do in their home, I have built a practice around the defense of these charges. So if you are in this category, then give me a call. We can meet up, talk about your case and determine what we can do next to help protect you from your government.

Wrong Number ACC Shouldn’t Profit Off Inmate Phone Calls By Tim Denson @TimDensonATH At the Sept. 6 Athens-Clarke County Mayor and Commission meeting, commissioners voted on a contract that would bring in $1.25 million in revenue over the next five years. No public funding would be necessary, and almost all labor would be provided at no cost to the county. When it came time to vote, it passed easily, with eight of the nine commissioners present voting in favor. So what’s the problem? The contract is with a for-profit prison technology company, and the revenue is coming from the families of those who have had the misfortune of being incarcerated in our county jail, guilty or not. The Clarke County Jail outsources its inmate phone service to a private prison company, currently Securus Technologies. When an inmate makes a collect call, the company charges fees to the callee, takes a percentage for itself and kicks back a portion to the county. County Manager Alan Reddish said, “It’s a practice we’ve been following in this community for many years.”

People of privilege need to be just as willing, if not more so, to stand up for our neighbors whose voices are silenced by poverty, inequality and jail cells.

“

The specific contract passed last month gives ACC an exceptionally high commission of 80 percent, meaning that the county takes 80 percent of the money collected from each call. These calls should bring in about $312,000 a year; Securus Tech will take 20 percent of that for its services and will give the jail the remaining $250,000. That’s the kind of markup you can expect from ticket scalpers selling UGAGeorgia Tech tickets. County revenue, no matter how badly needed, should never be raised in such a way and at such an exorbitant cost to citizens. Even worse, a majority of the money will be coming from Athenians who are under the poverty line. Nationally, 53 percent of those arrested are already in poverty, and since people above that line can normally afford bail, 80 percent of people who end up filling jail cells tend to be in or near poverty. Most of the calls we’re talking about are being made by the people who stay in jail, not the ones who had the money to get out. Minutes turn to hours, days turn to

weeks, and those unable to pay bail sit in their cells awaiting trial. Once the poverty-to-jailto-poverty cycle starts, it can be hard to break. Even those who are presumed innocent are punished financially, physically and emotionally before they have a chance to defend themselves in court. Seventy percent of the inmates in the Clarke County Jail this past January were awaiting trial. There is something morally wrong with making money off people you are holding captive. Commissioner Andy Herod noted, “There does seem to be something distasteful about making a quarter of a million dollars off of phone calls from inmates at the jail,” right before he voted to approve the contract to Securus Tech. County officials say the jail is very expensive for them to operate, which is true, but not because of phone calls. The jail is so expensive because of the huge growth in the number of people held in jails and prisons. Over the last 30 years, the number of people being incarcerated nationally has increased by 500 percent. The war on drugs, rise of private prisons and policies that punish poverty with jail time have all contributed to this increase in incarceration. If we want to lower the $11 million operating budget of our jail, we should continue to look at ways to jail fewer people, not make money off the families of those in jail. County officials are quick to point out that Securus Tech offered lower call and fee rates with this contract compared to previous contracts. This is true, and I was confused why a profit-driven private prison corporation would all of a sudden offer its services at these lower rates. Have they seen the error of their ways? More likely, it’s because the Federal Communications Commission may be handing down a ruling on Oct. 22 capping these inmate phone fees and rates very close to the ones offered to the Clarke County Jail.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 14, 2015

We have a situation where a private-prison corporation is prepared to lower the amount of revenue it receives, but Athens-Clarke County is eager to increase its cut. Many commissioners seemed not to be aware of the implications of this contract when they voted on it. I hope now the Mayor and Commission will see how this negatively affects our community and vote to end this policy next year. I’m not advocating for the county to pay for the calls, but I’m asking that the 80 percent kickback be ended, and that callers only pay the cost of the service. With this new information, five commissioners have already admitted to me privately that the county needs to look at changing this practice. We cannot let our Mayor and Commission pass policies that perpetuate systemic poverty. Please, ask your commissioner to stop raising revenue in this way. The Mayor and Commission often hear from people of privilege about things like historic districts and sidewalk cafes. People of privilege need to be just as willing, if not more so, to stand up for our neighbors whose voices are silenced by poverty, inequality and jail cells. The phone is ringing. Answer the call. f

The Grumpy Retiree Health Insurance: Some Great Help and Some Useful Discoveries By Joe Wisenbaker news@flagpole.com

Courtesy of Hardin Insurance

In doing my research into the details of our new and improved health benefit, I’ve come across a great many things. One thing I’ve discovered is that there are lots of people working for UGA, the University System of Georgia and even Aon Hewitt who are trying hard to help us, the USG retirees, get the most out of what the regents have come to define as our health benefit in retirement. UGA has gone out of its way to create our Retiree Resource Center, staffing it with volunteers and staff whose only job is to help us make our health benefit choices as wisely as possible. While they can’t tell us exactly what we should do, they do what they can to help us see what our options are. USG has dedicated one of its staff benefits people, Lydia Lanier, to work at the center every day. She moved to USG after a long career at UGA where she came to be in charge of their staff benefits office. She really has a passion to want this to work as well as possible for us, having seen what poorly considered individual decisions can do to hurt lives in the face of unexpected tragedies. Aon Hewitt has committed one of its more senior people working in the state, David Rew, to help coordinate the messages getting to those of us who have dropped in on the center. He really wants us to have the best picture of what is possible, so that we, when we start talking on the phone with our AH “counselors� and reading more of the details about the insurance plans online, can better make sense of things. The scores of us who are stopping by the center every day—many confused, frustrated and even somewhat angry—are encountering people who are there to make this process more understandable. They spend their days trying to help us be better prepared to deal with what most of us thought we would never need to dig into in great detail. Even while I confess to having really resented the need to get into something that is, honestly, very complicated, I have learned a couple of things about our options that might actually be helpful. If you can live with networked physicians and hospitals that work like big HMOs, the Medicare Advantage plans don’t have to come with big monthly premiums. Of course, they are directly subsidized by Medicare with a little help from our premiums. Some of those plans even build in coverage for prescription drugs. But, their deductibles, copays and potential out-of-network costs leave me unsure of just what getting sick might really cost. They do come with caps on the most you might pay, though something like up to $6,700 per individual per year can look like a lot to some of us. Should your doctors not be in those networks (and mine aren’t), that pushes you to be interested in Medigap plans, along with a Medicare Part D for prescription drug

coverage. There may be a number of different plans offered by an insurer, but by law, one Plan F has to be identical in coverage to any other Plan F. While the most popular Medigap plans (Plan F) are the most comprehensive when it comes to hospital and doctor bills, the slightly less costly plans (especially Plan G) may make more sense. Insurers are free to set their own premiums, and they do differ considerably, but why pay more than you need to? Prescription drug coverage through Medicare Part D does get pretty simple, once you put the list of drugs you regularly take into the AH website. Just choose the plan that gives you the lowest total annual cost. The AH website will even sort them to make it easier. Now, if you need new or different drugs, all bets are off, but that makes the annual open enrollment period at the end of every year a welcome backup. If there was one single thing I could get the word out about before too many of us get too far along and, perhaps, make ill-considered decisions, it would be about the flexibility that is there in what we can do with our health benefit accounts (the $2,763 per individual next year). To remain eligible for USG benefit contributions after 2016, the single requirement is that you purchase at least one plan from among the Medicare Advantage, Medigap or Medicare Part D plans. Money in your health benefit account can be used to reimburse you for premiums of plans purchased through the AH exchange, for outof-pocket prescription drug costs—no, Medicare Part D plans do not generally cover 100 percent—hospital and doctor copays and even your monthly Medicare premium that most of us have withheld from our Social Security checks. My own array of expected out-of-pocket costs would easily chew up my $2,763. So, what I’m planning to do is just buy my lowest total cost Medicare Part D drug plan (for about $20 per month) and use the rest of my benefit to pay for all those other things. I’m going to actually buy Medigap coverage on my own outside our “private marketplace�—not because it’s going to be much less than those in our “marketplace� (though it’s a heck of a lot less than BC/BS!) but because I get to simply make my own selection from the much bigger open and public market. May as well put some of my factfinding about this stuff to use. You will, of course, have to do your own math to see if you’ll be better off with a different configuration of plans. So, lots of things to consider. Your decisions aren’t likely to be just like mine. But we do have lots of support from some good, caring people along the way. USG may have walked away from the promises we all heard them make about health benefits in our retirement, but we do have some help to stay afloat! f

Clarke Middle School has a large, beautiful vegetable garden that’s easily spotted on Baxter Street. There’s another garden at the school that’s also used for learning; however, most of the students have typically left their middle school days behind them. Nestled in an inner courtyard at Clarke Middle is the Athens Area Master Gardeners Association’s garden, filled to the brim with fruits, vegetables, flowering plants and herbs. Master gardeners use it as one of several experiential learning sites, where members can meet their requirement for volunteer hours. The Athens-Clarke County UGA extension office trains master gardeners. Brand-new master gardeners

Before they plant, master gardeners have a conversation with Ramos about what they’re planning so she can provide feedback from the clients about vegetables that they like more than others. The gardeners want to ensure that they are planting varieties of vegetables those who will receive them will enjoy cooking and eating. Sometimes, it doesn’t go quite as planned. “Then there was the year that we planted radishes,â€? Anderson says. “And, you know, a few radishes would go nicely in a salad, and there’s actually a radish slaw that you can make. But‌ because they all ripened at one time, we wound up with 63 pounds of radishes. What do you do?â€? Joshua L. Jones

Take a Trip to Bear Camp Will Eskridge Approaches Animal Welfare Through Art By Jessica Smith arts@flagpole.com Human innovation has given rise to countless modern conveniences over the centuries, but not without great expense: Many of the technological advances we’ve come to depend on in our daily lives have had dire effects on the natural world, essentially forcing its inhabitants to adapt or die. Raising awareness for animals directly influenced by mankind’s dominance, local artist Will Eskridge’s subjects are most commonly creatures that have been exploited by humans for food, companionship, sport or entertainment. “I tend to choose those that are endangered or that have been over-manipulated by humans for consumption, like farm animals, or for entertainment, like commercial zoos and circus animals,� he says. Heavy as that may be, Eskridge’s contemporary animal paintings remain optimistic at heart. Through exploring the balance of nature versus technology, his images provoke questions of how to live more mindfully, improve environmental welfare and harness technology for better stewardship of the earth. Eskridge’s main body of work, “Environmental Habits,� is an ongoing series of oil paintings that depict lone animals confronted by hard-edged, textured geometric shapes within atmospheric landscapes. The gentle, impressionistic style of the animals within their fluid, drip-heavy settings establishes a delicate yet enduring wilderness. Juxtaposed with abrupt geometric objects representing the man-made structures of the industrialized world, the scenes address the relationship between mankind and nature and question how to maintain a balanced coexistence. “The geometric shapes represent modern society as a whole. They could be shipping containers from mass production, or pixels from the digital information age,� says Eskridge. “Whatever they are, they are from a modernized and technologically advanced culture that, at first, seems out of place to the natural environment of the animal. Then, you notice the bright commonality of the colors between the environment and the shape, [and it] becomes apparent that these two can work together and maybe even help each other.� Eskridge’s latest endeavor is “Bear Camp,� an outdoor environment dedicated to one of his most commonly occurring characters. The multimedia installation consists of a large, three-dimensional sculpture accompanied by twodimensional works, video projection and sound.

=:N HIJ9:CIH ;G:: L>";>

“It seems every few months I read or hear a story about a bear attack,� says Eskridge. “The ranger or officials feel the need to go kill the bear. Upon further reading in many of these articles, you’ll find out that either a hiker went way off the trail or that a camping group left a bunch of trash. These stories provoked me to question the boundaries of habitat and territory among animals.� An open studio reception and viewing party for “Bear Camp� will be held this Saturday, Oct. 17 from 5–11 p.m. at the Eskridge Art Studio, located at 455 Vincent Dr. In addition to exploring the installation, visitors can get a behindthe-scenes glimpse of works still in Will Eskridge progress and shop from a selection of paintings and handmade holiday housewares. Attendees are encouraged to tag photographs on social media with the hashtag #bearcamp, and the event will be streamed live on YouTube as “Bear Camp Open Studio.� Confronting issues of territory and habitat control, “Bear Camp� will be visually and conceptually similar to “Wolf City,� an immersive installation the artist presented in March at the Bulldog Inn Art Show, an annual tradition in which local artists transform the roadside motel’s bedrooms into a gallery row of installations and experimental performances. A giant sculpted wolf head surrounded by stacks of white shipping boxes served as the focal point of the room, set to a soundtrack of wolves howling and growling. On one wall, a dozen painted portraits of “Wolf City Residents� were displayed in a grid, and on the opposite wall, a time-lapse film loop of a tiny ice wolf sculpture melting in the sun was projected. “My overall vision for ‘Wolf City’ was to express the hypocrisy American society has as a whole regarding animals. On one hand, we adore the wolf and its majestic quality, while on the other, legislation and laws come and go that sanction wolf hunts,� says Eskridge. “So, my idea was to sarcastically say, ‘We just need a Wolf City to completely

6I=:CH

control the production and shipping of wolves when and where we want them.’� This tongue-in-cheek approach to confronting serious environmental issues is similarly reflected through “Creature Features,� a series of paintings currently on view at The World Famous through October. Inspired by the campy “creature feature� film posters of the 1950s–‘70s, Eskridge’s paintings depict hybrid animals with alarming titles like “Owligator from the Sky,� “The Ghastly Giraffula,� “Sins of the Seacupine� and “Octobear from Olympus� (which graces the cover of Flagpole this week). Though playful and absurd at face value, these atomic-age mutants carry a sincere undertone of concern towards the consequences of human intervention on the natural world. “I would like people to slow down and think about their daily choices that affect the environment. I would hope someone viewing one of my pieces might stop to think and choose a veggie burger at least once [to] save a life, as well as about 450 gallons of water,� says Eskridge. “I think artwork can be very effective at raising awareness. It doesn’t have to be a painting or sculpture. Films, music and writing are works of art that are highly effective, as well. I think they are probably more effective if working in tandem.� f

Homegrown Haps

New Sounds from Local Labels By Andy Barton music@flagpole.com

Arrowhawk Records

Ersta Ferryanto

very once in a while, the stars align for a hardworking Athens band, and a big-time record label makes them an offer they can’t refuse. But many artists choose to take matters into their own hands, spawning small, informal imprints to issue physical copies of their and friends’ music. Likewise, a handful of scene supporters are currently operating professional homespun labels whose reach continues to grow. While this list is certainly not comprehensive, we’ve rounded up a few of the Athens labels responsible for bringing our favorite music to your ears.

each artist’s contribution in just five hours. Made available through his MOEKE label, the compilation’s 22 songs exemplify a vibrant cross-section of local talent; this summer’s venture concluded with recordings from Tongues, Group Stretching and Jones College Radio, among others. Aside from two years’ worth of singles, MOEKE has also released EPs from Cottonmouth, Brothers and, most recently, Dream Culture. Conceptualized and primarily recorded by songwriter Evan Leima, the band’s second outing, Post Habitual, is a progressive take on psych-rock, akin to the blissed-out sounds of groups like Tame Impala and Unknown Mortal Orchestra.

Helmed by Little Gold frontman and former Brooklynite Christian DeRoeck, Loud Baby Sounds was created as a means for DeRoeck to issue his own music. After issuing his band’s debut, Weird Freedom, and albums by fellow New York bands Ancient Sky and Radical Dads, DeRoeck moved to Athens in 2012. Since then, the LBS roster has grown to include an assortment of like-minded groups, including local punks Deep State and, most recently, Jo RB Jones. The label released that band’s self-titled debut, a seven-song indie-pop affair, in August. Releases from Saline, Blunt Bangs and Linda are in the works, and Deep State’s full-length debut, NICE, will soon make it onto cassette, with vinyl expected to arrive in 2016. NICE’s rapid rhythms and thematic grappling with mid-20s anxiety is bolstered by a strong melodic current, proving that one can still party in the face of anguish and absurdity. On Sunday, Oct. 25, DeRoeck’s home and Loud Baby HQ will host this year’s installment of Loud Baby Fest, an all-day DIY showcase.

To say Elephant 6 mainstay John Fernandes keeps busy would be an understatement. Aside from his contributions to Circulatory System, The Olivia Tremor Control and a slew of other projects—as well as his tenure behind the counter at Wuxtry Records—the longtime Athenian runs Cloud Recordings, a psych-oriented label responsible for releasing much of the E6 collective’s output. The latest addition to the Cloud roster—which also includes oddball Macon troupe Cult of Riggonia, ethereal space-folk outfit Dream Boat and scene vet Derek Almstead’s Faster Circuits project—is fellow E6er AJ Griffin’s French Exit. His band’s debut, Jerk Store, released digitally by Cloud last week, finds the songwriter whimsically twisting the stylings of Elliott Smith and exploring spacey territories with an assortment of pianos and keyboards. Fernandes will host the Cloud Recordings Festival Nov. 4–7 at the Caledonia Lounge.

Arrowhawk, founded by Athens-based music publicist Alyssa DeHayes, deals in an eclectic mix of music from locals and outsiders alike. The label’s first vinyl release, for noise-punks Bambara’s Dreamviolence, served as an operational test of sorts. After breaking even within five months of receiving the LPs—thanks in large part to DeHayes’ diligence, as well as the band’s European tour stint supporting A Place to Bury Strangers—running a small label began to seem sustainable. With releases from Dream Boat, Pinecones and Richmond, VA’s White Laces garnering critical acclaim, Arrowhawk is now poised to release another Bambara album in early 2016. “An Ill Son,” the first taste from the forthcoming Swarm, is a noir-like burner showcasing the band’s signature sonic squall and singer Reid Bateh’s Swans-esque snarl.

Fall Break Records, founded by law student Taylor Josey in early 2014, began unintentionally. After a friend approached Josey in need of a fake label name through which to release his music, Josey decided to take his fascination with tapes and turn the enterprise into a reality, obtaining a business license application the next day. Representing “the antithesis of spring break culture,” FBR specializes primarily in heady, lo-fi pop. In its short existence, the label has cast a wide net; aside from releasing tapes for Athens artists Shehehe and Richard Gumby, FBR has issued albums from artists as far and wide as Milwaukee and Northern England. One of its most recent releases, Dead Neighbors’ selftitled album, touches on all the pleasure points of late-’80s and early-’90s alternative music: post-punk, jangle-pop and shoegaze in equal measure. The fact that the band’s debut was recorded, mixed and mastered in “a few bedrooms… over a few months” means it’s right at home at Fall Break. f Hear sounds from these labels at flagpole.com.

Feel the Love The Revivalists Bring Big Easy Charm to Athens By Dan Mistich music@flagpole.com

S

ince the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans has bounced back as an epicenter of Southern culture, with the city’s current music scene gaining considerable national attention. At the top of the crop are The Revivalists, who have garnered substantial steam since their inception in 2007. Key to their success, The Revivalists aren’t caught up in a commitment to any particular sound. “To us, it’s a Revivalists song if it’s a song that we all believe in. If we love a song, then we’ll play it,” says Rob Ingraham, the group’s saxophonist. Although the band began as a standard four-piece featuring drums, guitar, bass and vocals, it has expanded to seven members and now features pedal steel, sax, keys and trumpet—instrumentation, at least on the surface, more aligned with the Big Easy. Ingraham jokes that he and the band’s pedal steel player, Ed Williams, are in the “weird instrument corner” of the band, saying, “We definitely have a pretty wacky instrumentation, but instead of letting that corral us down certain avenues, we use it to give us the freedom to go anywhere we want and do what we feel is best for each of our songs.”

One lesson Ingraham says the band has learned from its hometown is to not be competitive with its creative output and to support others in the community. “The thing I’ve always said… is that New Orleans doesn’t have a music ‘scene’; it has a community. It’s not a bunch of standoffish hipsters trying to out-cool each other. There’s no ladder to climb. You don’t need to watch your back,” he says. The Revivalists are on tour in support of their fourth release, July’s Men Amongst Mountains, a record that Ingraham admits is “aesthetically different” from the band’s previous work. That difference, in part, is due to avoiding “studio wizardry” and tracking the large group’s sound in its raw form. Though the process was arduous, it captured the “old-school performance feel” of the band’s live show, says Ingraham. “Having to listen and immerse ourselves like that made for some really great moments that we simply wouldn’t have captured if we had tracked everything with more isolation,” says Ingraham. On Men Amongst Mountains, the band’s growth since its previous record, City of Sound, is obvious. Ingraham says the group is simply exercising its creative freedom.

“I don’t think the goal at the outset was to morph into the seven-headed behemoth you see today. It just kind of happened,” he says. “It goes hand in hand with our creative philosophy, where it was less about, ‘We have to be this or that,’ and more about getting out of our own way.” If tracking a band of this size live seems daunting, touring is an equal challenge for The Revivalists. Still, Ingraham says the group finds a way to make it work. “There are little squabbles here and there, but at the end of the day, we’re all jammed up in each other’s space no matter what happens, so there’s really no choice but to love each other,” he says. The band continues to gain fans through its “participatory” live show, which features

a great deal of audience interaction. Ingraham says that regardless of where the tour stops, folks are willing to listen carefully and allow themselves to be moved by the music. “Good people are good people,” he says, “and we’ve been blessed with a lot of good people all over the country who like to come watch us do our thing.” f

By Gordon Lamb threatsandpromises@flagpole.com LUCKY NUMBER: Maserati is releasing its seventh full-length album, Rehumanizer, Oct. 30 via longtime label Temporary Residence. If the two tracks released so far are any indication, this album is a substantial artistic move. Where previous Maserati releases have been able to be loosely pigeonholed by terms like “post-rock,� this new material is just way beyond and really busts the whole concept of Maserati wide open. Press reaction to the first single, “Rehumanizer II� has correctly identified the influence of A Flock of Seagulls, but there’s also a substantial amount of 1980– ’82 U2 in it. Further, the second single, “End of Man,� draws from the well of Herbie Hancock, various early-‘80s funk groups

these past couple of weeks? Well, punky, it’s the newly relaunched R.E.M. website. It’s much cleaner-looking, more easily navigable and an all-around better experience than the dark, gloomy site they had before. Here’s a hat tip to whoever made the decision to offer reproductions of popular older styles of the band’s T-shirts, including the very popular “postcard� design circa Life’s Rich Pageant and the college freshman uniform of 1985, aka the “bicycle/parrot� shirt. Now y’all don’t have to steal your dad’s! Or, honestly, mine. Even though the band broke up a few years ago, its members are still awfully busy. Especially guitarist Peter Buck.

and—if I’m less than gracious but still kinda honest—maybe a smidge of Styx. The album was recorded and mixed by drummer Mike Albanese, and while I find it quite refreshing, exciting and interminably cool, it’s bound to cause some nose-wrinkling among longtime fans. Which is exactly what a creative group should be doing! So, kudos, boys. You nailed it. For more information, see temporaryresidence.com. NEW YORK CITY ISN’T GOING ANYWHERE: You know that feeling in the fall where the air is crisp and electrified, and there’s a vague tension mixed with anticipation? Distill that into band form, and you’ve got the current state of Mothers. Fresh off the road for a couple of weeks, the band returns to the human highway to play seven shows between Oct. 13–17 during the CMJ Music Marathon in NYC. The event known to almost everyone simply as “CMJ� dovetails nicely with the news that New York-based label Grand Jury will release the group’s new single this week. The song in question, “It Hurts Until it Doesn’t� is a bit poppier than most of the band’s previous music, but of course “pop� is a relative term here.

LIVADITIS LA VIDA LOCA: Cellist Alec Livaditis will have an album coming out in early 2016 on the Kye label. Titled Clear and Cloud, it’s culled largely from live shows (including his popular duo sets with John Fernandes), as well as studio work completed at 1093 Boulevard. The record was mastered by Jason Lescalleet (Glistening Examples, et al) at his Glistening Labs. Kye was founded by experimental composer, author and visual artist Graham Lambkin, and if ever there were a perfect place for Livaditis to land, this is it. For slightly more information, see kyerecords.blogspot.com. SATURDAY NIGHT’S ALRIGHT: The Slingshot Festival will present a bill at the Caledonia Lounge Saturday, Oct. 24 featuring electropop artist Brothertiger from Brooklyn, NY, as well as new music from Grafton Tanner (Scooterbabe, Programs) under the moniker Superpuppet. Rounding the night out is Kai Riedl distilling the music and style of his group Electrophoria into a DJ set consisting of, and influenced by, “everything from field recordings from Java, Indonesia to low-toned abstract synths and everything in between.� This marks the live debut for Tanner’s new project, and the tracks he shared with me were split between clean, comfortable listening and glitchy nervousness marked by clipped boom-bap beats. Looking forward to hearing more and seeing how this plays out live. f

Pirates, French Aerialists and the Apocalypse By Drew Wheeler PAN (PG) A World War II-era orphan named Peter (Levi Miller) is whisked away to Neverland by pirates led by the legendary Blackbeard (Hugh Jackman). While mining for fairy dust, or Pixum, Peter meets a young James Hook (Garrett Hedlund) and Smee (Adeel Akhtar) before joining up with fairy protector Tiger Lily (Rooney Mara) and her native tribe. As scripted by Jason Fuchs (Ice Age: Continental Drift), Pan adds several new ideas to the Peter Pan mythology but little of it improves upon J.M. Barrie’s iconic character; Peter is now dyslexic and afraid of heights. Acclaimed filmmaker Joe Wright (Hanna is an underrated gem) and his creative team overthink everything from the acting to the art direction to the music. Why in the holy name of Moulin Rouge are the enslaved orphans singing Nirvana’s “Smells like Teen Spirit� and The Ramones’ “Blitzkrieg Bop�? Such mysterious decisions highlight the misguided creativity that plagues Pan. Jackman tries very hard as a hammy Blackbeard who would have made a terrific Hook; he entertains as well as ever.

James Badge Dale, Ben Schwartz (JeanRalphio on “Parks and Recreation�) and the questionable facial hair of Steve Valentine. Petit’s strongest accomplice proves to be highwire mentor Papa Rudy, whom Ben Kingsley uses to needlessly remind audiences of his Hall of Fame-level charisma. Despite JGL, the film’s true star is its digital effects, which beg moviegoers to check out the 3D version. Zemeckis has made a career of pioneering new technology, and has delivered a rare film that deserves its three-dimensional gimmickry. The Walk is the first movie of the 3D renaissance I regret not viewing behind 3D lenses. Even in 2D, Zemeckis’ Walk induces vertigo, and the climactic wire walk is not for the faint of height or acrophobic. Think Six Flags’ “Chevy Show� with a narrative. Z FOR ZACHARIAH (PG-13) As adapted by Compliance and Great World of Sound filmmaker Craig Zobel, Z for Zachariah is a deliberate, complex look at humanity after society ends. Young farm girl Ann Burden (Margot Robbie) is surviving on her own in

Oh, this? She let me “Cher� it. LOL!

Hedlund bafflingly plays Hook as John Wayne’s Indiana Jones; a decidedly stilted line delivery overwhelms the actor’s incredible charm. Current Peter Levi Miller is no more or less delightful than previous actors. As far as crunchy, revisionist Peter Pans go, stick with Spielberg’s underwhelming, overhyped Hook. For classic, creamy Peter Pan, P.J. Hogan’s 2003 adaptation remains far and away the most unjustly overlooked. THE WALK (PG) The incredible true story of Philippe Petit and his wire walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center gets the Robert Zemeckis digital effects treatment, and it’s more exciting and entertaining than James Marsh’s Oscar-winning 2008 documentary, Man on Wire. Joseph Gordon-Levitt (a personal acting fave) survives not only putting on a phony French accent but narrating a two-hour-plus film with said accent, which is sometimes a step away from Pepe Le Pew. JGL captures Petit’s magnetic street performer charm as he woos a street musician, Annie (Charlotte Le Bon), and organizes a team of accomplices, including a permed

an idyllic valley untouched by the radiated aftermath of nuclear war when a scientist, John Loomis (Chiwetel Ejiofor), enters her life. Soon, this brewing couple have their solitude disturbed by a coal miner named Caleb (Chris Pine). Zobel and acclaimed cinematographer Tim Orr take cues from Malick and Tartovsky, with the landscape rounding out a quartet of players. Strong performances key this complicated love triangle, though nothing would be lost if Robbie and Pine dumped their “Southern� accents. Robbie is particularly surprising, as her looks belie her talent (though her accent makes her seem like a new version of Jaime Pressly). As model-beautiful as Robbie may be, she never seems like she could not be an innocent farm girl, even if the film strangely obfuscates Ann’s age. Younger fans of the book will find the movie frustrating, as might viewers who came to Zobel by way of Compliance. Still, the film’s challenge will please a particular subset of filmgoers; hopefully, they will find it, so Zobel can continue pushing cinephiles. f

UGA Chapel · 3:30 p.m. · FREE! Award-winning writer Alice Walker makes a rare return to her home state as the inaugural UGA Delta Visiting Chair for Global Understanding. Walker, a native of Eatonton, is best known as the author of The Color Purple, a complex tale of intertwined families, race, class, tragedy and redemption in the segregated rural South. The book won both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, and was made into a successful Broadway musical and film, the latter of which was directed by Steven Spielberg. Doors for Wednesday’s event open at 2:30 p.m. Demand far outstripped availability for Walker’s ticketed appearance at the Morton Theatre Oct. 15, so get there early. [Blake Aued]

Lamar Dodd School of Art · 4 p.m. · FREE! The Dodd Galleries have three exhibitions opening in the Orbit Spaces. In “Unsung Muses,” ceramics student Alex Hodge presents hand-built pots referencing ancient Greek vessels and contemporary feminist critique. “In Process,” a series highlighting research and projects by faculty, launches with work by Eileen Wallace, who created relief prints using linoleum tiles taken from the defunct amusement park Fun Mountain. Curated by MFA candidate Vivienne Varay, “Forms of Adornment: Flesh and the Erotic” explores sexuality, gender and identity through the creations of nine artists who work primarily in jewelry and metals. All shows will remain on view through Nov. 5. [Jessica Smith]

The Foundry · 8 p.m. · $10 (adv.), $13 (door) Mandolin Orange’s rise to prominence on the crowded Americana scene has been as quiet and steady as its music. The Chapel Hill, NC duo—comprised of singers and multi-instrumentalists Emily Frantz and Andrew Marlin—self-released a handful of early gems before Yep Roc took notice and put out the band’s 2013 LP, This Side of Jordan. This year, Mandolin Orange returned with a patient, lovely follow-up, Such Jubilee. It’s one of the best folk records of 2015, all but guaranteed to tide Gillian Welch fans over until that songwriter’s return. Catch Mandolin Orange at The Foundry Thursday, when they’ll share a bill with fellow Cackalack singersongwriter Skylar Gudasz. [Gabe Vodicka]

During a project spanning close to four years, local photographer and writer Beth Thompson set out along trails in Georgia, Alabama, Florida and the Carolinas, capturing the flora and fauna highlighted in naturalist William Bartram’s Travels. These images were compiled on her blog, and later became the source material for her photography exhibition, “Travels on the Bartram Trail: Beth Thompson’s Possible Perceptions.” Kaleidoscopic scenes create a modernized abridgment of Bartram’s observations from 250 years ago, heightening the mystery of the natural world. Located in the Visitors Center Gallery, the exhibition will remain on view through Nov. 29. [JS]

The Foundry · 6 p.m. · $20 Yes, as it turns out, we can all get along, or at least we can try: To commemorate National Conflict Resolution Month, the Athens-based nonprofit Georgia Conflict Center, which “works to promote peacemaking by teaching nonviolent communication skills and restorative justice practices,” hosts a benefit show Sunday featuring live music, a silent auction, art and more. The tunes will be provided by longrunning local blues outfit Rick Fowler Band, which has slowly but surely returned to action following Fowler’s 2014 health troubles. Money from ticket sales (which are only $10 for students) as well as the auction will go toward supporting the Conflict Center’s planned expansion. [GV]
