Mrs. Johnson was born “down the country” in rural Taliaferro County, beyond Crawfordville. She grew up in a large, smart family centered on Level Hill Baptist Church, where they return for funerals and homecomings even though they dispersed widely and found success in New York City, Chicago, Detroit and other cities. Sonia and Arlene and Clarence are buried there. Susie will be buried here in Athens, alongside Eldon. Susie Johnson came to Athens when she was 15, to stay with an aunt and begin her working life. She worked in UGA food service and for sororities and for some of Athens’ well known families in the usual capacities open to women of her race: cook, maid, nursemaid. She worked long hours for low wages, but she was accustomed to work and to living frugally. She owned her home and took care of it, saving her money for the repairs she knew would be needed.

When Did Deal Become a Liberal?
() '"' -!", %% - )), +" '-+
The Governor Sides With Democrats on Two Vetoes By Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com The casual political observer might be asking this question after the events of recent weeks: When did Nathan Deal become a liberal Democrat? The governor has turned state politics on its head with two controversial vetoes. The first was his cancellation of the “religious liberty� bill. He followed up that action by vetoing two bills much beloved by the gun community: One would have allowed firearms to be carried on college campuses, and the other would have made it easier to bring assault rifles to church services. Deal’s vetoes brought him a lot of love on social media sites from persons of the liberal persuasion who said, in one form or another, “Thank you, Gov. Deal.� That would be fine if Deal was a Democrat, but he’s not—he was elected to two terms as governor after campaigning as a conservative Republican, and his party colleagues are very unhappy with him. State Rep. Kevin Cooke (R-Carrollton), for example, said this after Deal’s gun vetoes: “Nathan Deal is the reason Donald Trump is the nominee for president. People are sick and tired of stinking politicians telling them what they’re going to do when they get in office, and then when they do that, they do the exact opposite.� Cooke is not the only one expressing such disgust with the state’s chief executive. There is so much anger, in fact, that Deal may have a difficult time getting his policy agenda approved by the legislature during his final two years in office. Deal still wants to secure passage of legislation that would revise the way public schools are funded and base teacher salaries on performance rather than seniority. “His legislative agenda’s going to get much more difficult to pass the next two years,� said Rep. Alan Powell
(R-Hartwell), one of the primary sponsors of the gun bills. Republicans control two-thirds of the seats in the General Assembly and a majority of those lawmakers disagree vehemently with the governor on his vetoes. It’s natural to think Deal’s policy proposals could be dead on arrival when the next session gets underway in January. But remember: The governor has quite a few levers he can pull to get the machinery working his way. One of them is his ability to veto individual items in the state budget. Sen. Josh McKoon (R-Columbus) was one of the most outspoken critics of Deal’s actions on the religious liberty bill and gave the governor no end of grief over the issue. When it came time to sign the budget, however, Deal vetoed $100,000 for the National Infantry Museum in McKoon’s hometown. Rep. Dusty Hightower (R-Carrollton) has been one of the strongest gun-carry advocates in the legislature and comes from the same part of the state as Cooke. You might think that Cooke and Hightower would team up next year to get back at Deal for vetoing the gun bills. That won’t happen, however. There was a vacancy in the Coweta Judicial Circuit caused by the retirement of Judge Quillian Baldwin, so Deal simply appointed Hightower to replace Baldwin as the Superior Court judge. Now that he’s a judge, Hightower is not in the legislature anymore to cause trouble. He’s also not going to criticize the man who just appointed him to a well-paid judgeship. Those are the kinds of things that governors can do to ease the hurt feelings of lawmakers, and Deal does them very well. That’s why he can get everyone all hot and bothered over his vetoes and still have a good chance of getting his agenda passed. f

The Chase Street Commission-Defined Option Blues Plus, 100 Prince Postponed, Downtown Diversity and More Local News By Blake Aued and Shaye Gambrell Matheny news@flagpole.com
Here’s an Option: The Chase Street situation further illustrates the commission’s dysfunction. Commissioners are constantly putting off decisions and sending them back for further study (see: the May 3 vote against closing part of Newton Street and pretty much the entire downtown master plan). They’ve known Chase Street needed repaving for a year, and yet still the community is left with a last-minute plan that was never vetted by the public and barely vetted behind the rail, passed in a slipshod
manner that left even the county attorney, who is paid to understand parliamentary procedure, scratching his head. After a bewildering series of motions on Chase Street, it turned out that Link had not included a funding source to cover the $34,000 in improvements she proposed. Her intention was to use $40,000 earmarked to move a crosswalk on Prince Avenue and add an overhead flashing beacon, which the developer of 100 Prince (more on that later) has offered to pay for. But that never made it into any motion.
“This is what happens when things get done at the last minute, without any transparency,� Commissioner Andy Herod said. [BA] Reservoir Dogs: Environmental groups have been pressuring commissioners to remove $20 million to study and potentially buy land for a new reservoir from a $240 million, 20-year water and sewer plan the commission approved May 3. Reservoirs evaporate, irrevocably change ecosystems and, as Oconee County found out the hard way with Hard Labor Creek, costs can

When Melissa Link was running for commission in 2014, the argument was whether she was a committed and informed activist who could shake things up behind the rail or a hothead who would render herself totally ineffective by alienating her colleagues. Both Good Melissa and Bad Melissa were on display May 3, when the commission voted on plans to add bike lanes and crosswalks to parts of Chase Street (the minutia of which isn’t easy to explain and would probably bore you to tears anyway). Credit her for putting in the hard work to come up with something that could satisfy alternative transportation advocates, Chase Street Elementary parents and Chase residents who were uncomfortable with losing their center turn lane. She got it done—in spite of herself. Commissioner Mike Hamby, for example, laid into her a couple of times during the Chase Street debate. “I voted for your proposal, and I expect I’ll vote for the contingency funding,� Hamby said after Link blamed the Transportation and Public Works Department’s failure to incorporate public input for the last-minute nature of her proposal. “But please, don’t keep throwing staff under the bus in situations like this.� [Blake Aued]
options. (That’s the term for alternatives to staff recommendations introduced by commissioners.) Link proposed substituting a $2 million expenditure for “enhanced� water conservation measures, drawing another rebuke from Hamby, who pointed out that in spite of population growth the city is consuming only 12 million gallons of water per day, compared to 20 million before the drought. “In our water department, the word ‘conserve’ is ingrained in everybody’s minds and everybody’s actions,� he said. Then he called the question, which is the legislative equivalent of dropping the mic. The commission voted 9-1 (with Link the lone holdout) to approve Commissioner Kelly Girtz’s more general language on water supply, removing the reference to land acquisition. That could involve something like—just throwing out ideas— dredging Lake Chapman, he said. Whatever happens, it’ll be years and many more commission votes down the road. [BA] ARMC: In addition, the commission unanimously approved a deal for Atlanta-based Piedmont Healthcare to take over Athens Regional in exchange for $575 million in debt repayments and capital improvements, in spite of concerns about losing local control (though Athens will continue to be represented on the ARMC board and will gain seats on the Piedmont board as well). Hospitals all over are consolidating, and “I think the bigger danger over time is losing the hospital if something like this doesn’t occur,� Commissioner Jerry NeSmith said. [BA]
“Hi, I’m Melissa Link. Let me tell you about my commission-defined option to build a reservoir on Chase Street. With bike lanes, of course.�
Commissioners asked Attorney Bill Berryman what they should do. “I’m gonna be honest with you, this is the first time anything like this has happened,� he said. Manager Blaine Williams stepped in and said he’d bring forward a budget amendment next month. Constantly legislating on the fly is no way to govern, and commissioners know it.
quickly spiral into the hundreds of millions of dollars. On the other hand, Public Utilities officials want to make sure the community doesn’t find itself in the same situation we did in the 2008 drought, when we were just a few weeks away from running out of water completely. On the reservoir vote there were not one but two competing commission-defined
100 Prince: The commission also sent the mixed-use development proposed for the St. Joseph Catholic Church site back to the planning commission at the developer’s request. “Homes Urban remains committed to the basic concept of the plan,� but three issues recently came up that require the Greenville, SC-based developer to reconfigure it, Athens lawyer Jim Warnes told the commission. Homes Urban has not been able to line up a commercial tenant for the building fronting Prince Avenue, Warnes told

Flagpole in an interview. (Which means, apparently, that Daily Groceries won’t be moving into the space after all.) In addition, construction bids came in “significantly higher� than expected, Warnes said, and the developer is facing timing issues related to tax credits for development in low-income areas. Once the plans are revised, Warnes said Homes Urban will hold another round of meetings with neighbors, then resubmit the plans to the planning department, a process he said could take about four or five months. The commission also approved plans to tear down the Barnett Shoals Kroger (as well as the old Kmart) and replace it with a gargantuan Walmart-style store like the one on Highway 72. The new shopping center will be oriented toward College Station Road and include a couple of out-parcels for restaurants. Commissioner Andy Herod, who represents the Eastside, said Kroger is open to his idea for a mural on the new store’s long, blank wall. One Kroger in Atlanta also incorporated public art, he said. “People like shopping in places that have a sense of place to them,� he said. Fellow Eastside commissioner Sharyn Dickerson added that the trees in the plan are “awesome.� A Kroger fuel center near the library— including a convenience store and some outdoor seating, adding to Baxter Street’s vibrancy—was also approved unanimously. The commission also voted 9-1 to approve a massive subdivision and apartment complex off Atlanta Highway, previously known as Winslow Park (but minus a proposed hotel and commercial space), when it was first approved in 2004. Approval came in spite of concerns raised by Commissioner Jared Bailey about developer Walton, Georgia LLC’s business model: The company syndicates its developments, buying up land in growing areas, then selling shares to overseas investors and flipping the property to other developers who actually builds the project. Commissioner Jerry NeSmith, who has been fighting to keep suburban-style development on Atlanta Highway, defended the plans, saying that they will help revitalize the corridor, and they’re specific and binding enough to rule out a bait-and-switch. [BA] Downtown Diversity: In 10 years, panelists at a May 2 forum, “Shaping the Future of Downtown Athens,� said they hoped to see downtown Athens marked by clean, pedestrian-friendly wide walkways, open green spaces and much more diversity in residents, businesses and visitors. Hosted by the Athens Area Chamber of Commerce and held in a conference room at Roundsphere, a co-working space and business incubator occupying the second floor at One Press Place, the panel included Pamela Thompson, executive director of the Athens Downtown Development Authority; Jennifer Zwirn, president of the Downtown Athens Business Association; AthensClarke County Manager Blaine Williams; and ACC Commissioner Mike Hamby. Audience members and panelists agreed that diversity in the types of businesses— law, insurance and banking offices, yes, but also tech start-ups and shared creative spaces like Four Athens, but more of them—is key to a successful downtown. So is diversity in retail—some local, some national, some international. One couple in the audience wanted to see more businesses
with a mission dedicated to something beyond money, like TOMS, the shoe company that donates a pair for each one purchased. Panelists all agreed that developing areas to attract families is another important aspect of a successful downtown. Jim Thrasher, a retiree now living in Athens, asked how the city could be made more welcoming to people of color. “I have tried to get my friends and family to move to Athens, but they’ve chosen to live in Atlanta instead because they think Athens is just too white,� Thrasher said. “I don’t know what the answer is.� Local artist Broderick Flanigan said he goes to meetings like this to try to make sure information gets out to everyone in the community. Life the Griot, poet and founder and director of Chess and Community, described the room of around 50 as a picture and challenged everyone to find themselves in the picture. “For many, they don’t see themselves in the picture, so why would they look?� As long as Athens has a high poverty level, many will continue to feel left out of this community, he said. Williams acknowledged that a poverty rate above 30 percent is a difficult problem to solve. “We have tremendous promise, but we have challenges as well, a lot of student housing for example,� he said. The concept of an innovation district is one that needs to be explored, Williams stressed, adding that the ACC Economic Development Department is working to make these kinds of achievements doable. “Life brings up good points about the poverty in Athens, but these are all related. Let’s get people we haven’t met around the table,� he said. Williams mentioned a partnership program with the Clarke County School District and local manufacturers, including Caterpillar and Power Partners, that offers students real jobs and lets them learn new skills and earn wages in the process. Other suggestions were simpler. Brandon Checketts, founder and head of Roundsphere, suggested better signage would help newcomers more easily find the existing parking decks. Thompson and Hamby said changes in the parking fee structures to equalize the rates between onstreet and deck parking at $1 an hour and increasing visibility of the decks is a priority for ACC and ADDA. Interactive parking, available in other cities as a smartphone app that shows when spaces are available and where, is being investigated. The lack of “Class A� office space was cited as an ongoing challenge facing businesses currently operating in or wishing to locate in downtown. “There’s a certain size of office space that we don’t have enough of,� Thompson said. She also raised the question of whether or not “we are pricing locals out of downtown.� Panelists and audience members said they thought Athens needs more minorityowned businesses, not only downtown, but county-wide. The ACC Finance Department doesn’t ask for race or gender on business license forms, according to department director Chuck Moore. All the panelists said they would support any measures to increase diversity in the downtown area. Thompson said the ADDA will be rolling out a new microloan program that she hopes will help all small businesses, including minority-owned, be sustainable, especially through the summer months when students are absent from retail shops and restaurants.

Killing Campus Carry UGA Community Surprised, Relieved by Gov. Deal’s Veto By Blake Aued news@flagpole.com
from a sweeping gun-rights bill, this time it passed overwhelmingly and almost entirely along party lines. What Solomon saw as a blatant disregard for the will of the people disturbed her. “I’m very concerned that a legislature can run rampant over its constituents and push through anything they want,” she said. All four Republicans representing Athens—Reps. Chuck Williams and Regina Quick and Sens. Bill Cowsert and Frank Ginn—voted in favor of it. (However, Cowsert’s daughter Caty, a local artist, publicly opposed it.) Of the Athens delegation, only Democratic Rep. Spencer Frye voted against it.

grade could set off a gun-carrying student. And while the bill restricted the right to carry a gun on campus to ostensibly law-abiding permit holders age 21 and up, in practice that provision was unenforceable, since state law prohibits police from asking people with guns whether they have a permit. There’s no way to tell how much the vocal opposition factored into Deal’s veto, but the governor certainly agreed with the logic. “If the intent of HB 859 is to increase the safety of students on college campuses, it is highly questionable that such would be the result,” he wrote in a lengthy statement explaining his veto.
Joshua L. Jones
aura Solomon and Jenny Gropp had been spending so much time on Twitter lately, it’s a wonder their thumbs hadn’t fallen off. Along with University of Georgia English professor Magdalena Zurawski, the two Georgia Review editors had spent weeks urging critics of House Bill 859 to email or tweet them photos of themselves holding signs expressing their displeasure with the “campus carry” bill, which would have allowed concealed-carry license holders to bring firearms anywhere at UGA except residences and sporting events, including into classrooms, offices and even daycares. Perhaps counterintuitively for writers, they reasoned that putting faces to the criticism would be more effective than words alone. All in all, they estimate they received about 500 photos—including messages of support from celebrities like actor Tituss Burgess and R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe, creating national buzz for the cause. They tweeted all of them at Gov. Nathan Deal and other state officials while simultaneously dealing with blowback on the notoriously hot-headed social media network. And it worked—Deal vetoed the bill May 3. But Solomon and Gropp’s work wasn’t done yet. “We actually sat down on Broad Street with phones and started retweeting” messages of thanks to Deal for vetoing the bill, Gropp said in an interview two days after the veto. “I feel like I’m relaxing for the first time right now,” Solomon added. “I feel relieved now, but I realize it’s not going to stop.” For many who opposed the bill, Deal’s veto came as a pleasant surprise. Athens is often referred to as a blue island in a red sea, and people here can feel powerless to fight a Republican-dominated state government. “I am glad he trusted the people who it will actually affect, faculty at UGA and others in the University System of Georgia,” said Kristin Kundert, a drama professor. “I am very, very excited he listened to the voice of his constituents and not people spending money to push it forward like the NRA.” UGA students, faculty and staff and other Athens residents rallied against the “campus carry” bill Apr. 27. Others echoed Kundert’s sentiments. Deal laid out the historical precedence for banning “Depending on the campus and what’s going on on it, “It was good to see that he is putting the interests of guns at colleges, dating back to Founding Fathers James any time you have a gun-free zone, it’s not really a gun-free student safety ahead of the lobbyists,” said senior Emma Madison and Thomas Jefferson prohibiting guns at the zone because the criminals doing these shootings have Krass, who organized a march against the bill.

The Meaning of Community Vendors and Residents Fight to Save the West Broad Market Garden By Lauren Baggett news@flagpole.com The market supports the community in more subtle ways, too. Tables offering free blood pressure screenings or information about breastfeeding are peppered among other vendor tables. The picnic tables scattered along the lawn offer a place for friends to sit and visit. Many visitors on Saturday lingered well past the time they finished shopping. “It’s the neighborhood’s market,” said Kregel. “It’s really changed the feel to the people who live in it.” Ethel Collins, who has become the de facto flag-bearer of the West Broad garden and market, is afraid that crime and drug trafficking might return if the garden is moved. “This market is bringing something positive to this neighborhood,” she said. “If you don’t have something positive going on and alive and visible, all this nonsense is going to come back up in here.” Joshua L. Jones
The West Broad Farmers Market opened for its third year on Apr. 30 in the yard of the historic old West Broad Street School. Three rows of vendor tables stretched endto-end along the blacktop, with a few tables capping each row. It was the biggest market yet in terms of the number of vendors, said Rebecca Ennis, who manages the market and community garden for the Athens Land Trust. “Last year, all the tables fit in the courtyard.” The weather was warm and breezy at 9 a.m. when the gates opened, and by 10 a.m., the market was in full swing. A growing crowd of visitors maneuvered to tables full of veggies, prepared foods and handmade crafts. Ennis and other garden volunteers manned a table selling the vegetables grown only a few yards away in the half-acre community garden.
West Broad Market Garden manager Rebecca Ennis sells her last box of strawberries at the market Apr. 30.
“During market season, I would say I get 80 percent of my food from here,” said Lou Kregel, a Hancock Corridor resident. She was excited to see more vendors taking part this year and hopes the market’s popularity will grow as word spreads. But no one is sure what next year’s opening will look like. At the moment, the Clarke County School District has plans to renovate the West Broad School into administrative offices and pave over the community garden to create an adjacent parking lot. The plan would move the garden across the street to a space that is currently paved and about a third of the size. On Apr. 21, about 20 community members and garden supporters attended a school board meeting to express their concerns over the district’s plan. Residents urged the board to visit the garden and market, if they’d never been, to understand what the plans are threatening. “It’s just a cool vibe here,” said Ennis. Beyond providing affordable produce to the neighborhood, the market is an incubator for entrepreneurs. “We give a small-business class to all of our vendors,” she said. “They use the market as kind of a launching pad for their business.”

Decton Hylton lives in Oglethorpe County, but he sells his organic produce at the market and teaches beekeeping and composting. He prefers the West Broad market to any others in Athens because “this market is grassroots, local… I feel like I’m at home.” After so much input from the community and supporters, Hylton feels that the CCSD proposal is pulling the rug out from under the neighborhood. “This place was abandoned. No one was interested in it, and now as soon as we bring life into it, they want to take it,” he said. Like Kregel, Hylton believes that if more Athenians visit the West Broad market, it will thrive. Visitors outside of the neighborhood “support us,” he said, “because our product is good.” Those who helped the market get to its third opening day expressed the same wish, that they want more people to come to the market and experience it for themselves. Kregel is sure that once they do that, people will come back. “It’s something you want to support,” she said. The West Broad Farmers Market is open every Saturday from 9 a.m.–1 p.m. through Dec. 10. f

Serena Chopra Embodies Calm in a Hectic Time By Thibault Raoult poetlandia@flagpole.com
Kasey Ferlic
It’s been a minute, Athens. So many things have happened in the writing world; I can’t even. Well, I can, but I won’t. For the moment, I’d like to focus on this week’s Avid Poetry Series reading, which features Atlanta-based writers Phillip B. Williams and Kirstin Valdez Quade, and Coloradobased poet and performer Serena Chopra. Let me be clear: This is a must-see (or musthear) event. And you should add to your summer reading list Williams’ first book of poems, Thief in the Interior, as well as Valdez Quade’s collection of stories, Night at the Fiestas. Chopra, who has family in Atlanta, finds herself “smitten� with Athens and is looking forward to our “greenery and wet air.� As a professional modern dancer (with Evolving Doors Dance) and a poet who reaches out often to the visual arts, she illustrates perfectly what it takes to keep an art form lively and relevant. As she puts it, “There’s always something going on movement-wise for me.� This would seem to apply also to all her work. It makes sense, then, that Chopra digs Athens so much, given the potential in Classic City to move freely between the arts. Chopra is a PhD candidate in creative writing at the University of Denver. She is the author of two full-length books of poems, This Human (Coconut, 2013) and Ic (Horse Less, forthcoming in summer 2016).
She is the co-founder and an actor in the poet’s theater group, GASP. She currently teaches in the MFA program at Naropa University’s Jack Kerouac School. She lives and works in Denver. Check out collaborative work at lucong.info. Soon, Chopra will heading to Bangalore, India, where she will be a Fulbright Research Scholar working with queer women and composing a novel on the Indian diaspora and queerness. Again, on the move: across the globe, into the social justice arena and into fiction. Below are two poems (with the same title) from Chopra’s manuscript Queerly is the Night. For me they serve as incantations. These are high-stakes poems. And what’s remarkable is that amidst all the language play you have a questioning and explosive self or set of selves. f

Public Art in Watkinsville Sculptural Works and Art Panels Beautify Downtown By Jessica Smith arts@flagpole.com A small but thriving community, Watkinsville once earned the nickname “Artland of Georgia” for the many potters, painters and studio artists quietly working from their homes. Fully embracing its reputation as a center for established and emerging artists alike, the City of Watkinsville and the Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation (OCAF) have been working in cooperation behind the scenes to arrange not one but two exhibitions of public artwork, which are now fully installed and ready to cruise or stroll by. “Public Art Watkinsville: A Pop-up Sculpture Exhibit” features five diverse sculptural works temporarily installed at prominent locations along North Main Street. The imaginative creations were selected from works submitted through a call for entries issued by Watkinsville’s Arts Advisory Council this past December. Located on the Dolvin property across from the Oconee County Courthouse, William Massey’s “Object of Wo(man)” is an interactive optical illusion best approached slowly or on foot. Three metal forms appear disjointed until viewed from the center’s sweet spot, where the pieces perfectly align to create a three-dimensional image of a woman’s face. The artist’s desire to unify seemingly divided fragments is similarly reflected in his process and emphasis on recycling. He cuts, grinds, welds and assembles discarded materials and found objects back into whole works. Ben Lock’s steel and cast iron “Rocker,” in the lawn of the Murray House, is a simple form representing the artist’s deep explorations into American culture and the history and labor of making. Much of the artist’s work touches on themes of class, labor and time “Hands of Respect” by Stan Mullins through investigating the functions of tools and applisculpture from Indiana University after attending UGA cations of materials.

taught at UGA’s Lamar Dodd School of Art for 25 years, is no stranger to public art; additional sculptures of his can currently be found outside of the Athens-Clarke County Library and in a small sculpture garden in front of an apartment complex off of Milledge Avenue. Stan Mullins’ “Hands of Respect,” installed outside of Watkinsville Storage, is an 8-foot-tall, five-ton monument chiseled from a single block of Elberton granite. Originally commissioned for the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, two right hands align their palms as if praying together in a universal symbol of respect. Many Athenians are familiar with Mullins by way of his unusual yet picturesque home on Pulaski Street, an 18th Century cottonseed oil refinery that has been renovated to include a 7,000-square-foot studio space and two sprawling acres of land for an ever-changing sculpture garden. The five sculptures are unfortunately not permanently installed, but all artists have offered to loan their works for a minimum of three months. In conjunction with the pop-up sculpture exhibition, OCAF and the City of Watkinsville also unveiled “Artscape Oconee: The Monuments of Artland,” a collection of eight newly commissioned public art panels alongside six refurbished works. Measuring 4-feet-by-6-feet or greater, these eye-catching fine art billboards serve as large-scale paintings spreading splashes of color across town. Installed outdoors at locations such as Harris Shoals Park, Ameripride, Mutty Paws, McNalley Park and the Oconee State Bank, the panels strengthen Watkinsville’s growing reputation as a thriving arts community by tastefully integrating visual reminders into the landscape. “Artscape Oconee” was a public art initiative launched in 2000, with the first and second wave of panels erected in 2009 and 2010. This latest collection continues the tradition, showcasing the diverse talents of artists who live and work nearby. The roster inarguably includes some of the most established artists around, with new commissions from landscape painter June Ball, scientific illustratorturned-still life painter Manda McKay, famed ceramic artist Ron Meyers, wildlife painter Leslie Moody, UGA art professor Alex Murawski, The Loft Art Supplies owner Scott Pope, UGA professor emeritus Art Rosenbaum and art students attending the University of North Georgia. Restored boards are contributed by Cecel Allee, Robert Clements, Stanley Bermudez and Bill Pierson, Will Eskridge and students attending Whitehead Road Elementary and Oconee County High School. Both exhibitions were supported in part by a grant from the Georgia Council for the Arts through the Georgia General Assembly, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts. Brochures with a map of art locations can be picked up at OCAF, the Oconee County Welcome Center and Watkinsville City Hall, or downloaded online from ocaf.com. f

Plugged In Marisa Anderson’s New, Weird America By Marc Tissenbaum music@flagpole.com
T
“
here is a new, weird America, too. It’s not lacking, and I like that one,” says Portland, OR musician Marisa Anderson. The solo instrumental guitarist is responding to a comment comparing her adventures to those of musicians like Woody Guthrie, using Greil Marcus’ concept of “the old, weird America.” It’s an easy comparison to make: A young woman takes off into the desert to sleep under the open sky, then spends 19 years rambling on foot around the country, stopping and living in places that capture her interest before moving on and doing it over and over again. Anderson has been based in Portland since 2006, but in the midst of her ramble she joined a circus band that played for encampments of anti-government guerrillas in Chiapas, Mexico, and was a member of the all-female country band The Dolly Ranchers, which held down a four-sets-anight gig at a cowboy bar in New Mexico. After moving to Oregon, she spent six years as a member of the seven-to-10-member Evolutionary Jass Band, performing both tightly structured songs and free improv, before going solo and relying on only what she can accomplish with her fingers, guitar and amp. Since then, Anderson has released five albums and a single, contributed to two
compilations and written or contributed to the scores of eight movies, while also guesting on such notable projects as Sharon Van Etten’s Are We There and Beth Ditto’s “Moonage Daydream” single. Although Anderson is a highly skilled and knowledgeable musician who grew up studying classical guitar, she’s chosen an overdriven electric guitar as her means of expression. “I really like sustain,” she explains. “You can get the voice and it rings and you can play against it and you can get distortion and the overtones and all of this stuff… I’m not attracted to [other] effects, all those funky boxes. I really love the versatility of just one electric guitar. I especially love playing really quietly while turned up really loud, getting that hum that happens when you do that.” Anderson has expressed a desire to play guitar in every setting possible, and her solo ventures have included busking, art and film openings, house shows and even a recurring slot in the bulk foods section of Portland’s Cherry Sprout Produce store. “There are challenges in every setting, there is a tensile connection or bucking the arrival of whatever feelings in whatever situation, and it’s really fun to just work those in every environment and see what comes up,” she says. In her own words, Anderson is “building my toolbox, my vocabulary, by increasing
my capacity concerning what is music and honest music-making. I can apply different types of sounds that we might think of more like roots music or whatever, and I can apply some jazz sensibility or a jazz process to that sound and to the way that I compose that sound.” The guitarist’s evolution is evident in the music on her four most recent albums, The Golden Hour (Mississippi, 2011), Mercury (Mississippi, 2013), Traditional and Public Domain Songs (Grapefruit Records, 2013) and Tashi Dorji/Marisa Anderson (Footfalls, 2015). For The Golden Hour, Anderson set up a reel-to-reel tape machine and recorded every idea she had on each theme she might want to include, but she didn’t listen to any of it until it was time to choose tracks for the final release. “I wanted to cut through all of that chatter, thinking, ‘We’ll just make and make and make and figure it out at the end,’” she says. In reaction to that editing process, “Mercury was just one amp and purely what I was getting out of that,” she says. Then, on Traditional and Public Domain Songs, she says, “I figured the songs were already there… I would split my signal so I was going through a couple of different amps, and one amp was set mostly on static and white noise and kind of explosive. I had it roaring, just pushing it hard, and the other amp was clean, and [there were]
mics around the room… A lot of Traditional Public Domain sounds like more than one guitar, but it’s not.” Anderson’s 2015 split LP with likeminded Asheville, NC guitarist Tashi Dorji was built on what she learned about recording during Traditional Public Domain but returned to the world of composition. Live, her set reflects all of these aspects of her playing. “It’s about a third traditional material,” she says. “There are about two songs in the set that are writing themselves as they go, but they’re still improvisational within a structure… and I have a number of songs from Mercury that have a vague beginning and they get to some kind of ending, and in the middle they do some stuff that is never the same way, and then one or two songs that are like, ‘That’s how they go.’ It’s kind of all over the board, really.” Sounds like an honest reflection of her life. f

Inspired by McElroy, other cities, including Athens, began forming their own camps across the world. Six years later, Portland’s Rock ’n’ Roll Camp for Girls hosted the first international conference and formed the Girls Rock Camp Alliance. Over 10 countries and more than 20 states were represented at the 10th annual Girls Rock Camp Alliance Conference on a New Jersey farm during the first weekend of April, including this correspondent and two others from Athens, where the nonprofit Girls Rock Athens is expanding its reach to include adult women with a Ladies Rock Camp this weekend. The Girls Rock Camp Alliance, per tradition, renamed the farm’s dorms, workshop and studio spaces and a dining hall in homage to female musicians. There were Aaliyah (Big) and Aaliyah (Small), Grace Jones, Bessie Smith and Dolly Parton. Members of the GRCA board of directors passed out zines, which A Girls Rock Camp camper performs. served as a program for the weekticipants to talk about how the conference end’s workshops, caucuses and solidarity and camps across the world can become working groups. “We aren’t always in control of the world ever more accessible to people of various backgrounds. outside of this space, but we can decide This year, GRCA offered workshops in what happens here,” a board member said. seven categories, or tracks, such as “First Attendees raised their hands and contribTime’s the Charm: Rock Camp Will Change uted to group agreements: “Assume best intentions,” “be open to critique” and “move the World” (for new camps getting off the up, move up,” urging talkative folks to listen ground), “Core Track” (things like “Camp Finance 101” and “Building a Board”) and quieter people to speak more.

in solidarity with people experiencing suppression, without co-opting conversations about struggles they do not face. At mealtimes, attendees shared stories and information from the workshops they had taken. Some panels seemed to invoke universal responses. Everyone cried during “Music of the #BlackLivesMatter Movement.” “What Are You Doing Here? Black Women in Metal,” “Electronic Music Powered by Girls” (which taught
participants to build a contact microphone) and “Developing Trans* Inclusive Language For Girls Rock Camp” seemed to be universally appreciated. Others received more mixed reviews. The necessarily decentralized nature of workshops sometimes created disorganized or circuitous conversation. On the whole, though, the focus and commitment of attendees made for effective work in identifying problems and proposing solutions. On the last day, Girls Rock Athens attended “Southern Belles, Hell and Fostering Change.” Facilitated by Meeghan Kane, a board member of Girls Rock Columbia and teacher at Benedict College, the workshop addressed the unique challenges of our region. The South “is politically, socially and culturally conservative, in general, and religion often plays a prominent role in the lives and communities of Southern women. We want to explore ways to build inroads in those communities,” the zine’s description of the workshop read. Some camps, nested in more deeply red communities than Athens, described feeling fear for campers due to their inclusive philosophy. In those communities, camps sometimes drill counselors and volunteers in lock-downs in case of a shooting. Others expressed concern that explicitly inclusive language would ostracize the kids most in need of an outlet for expression, whose parents might not allow them to attend. But everyone knew that a discriminatory environment would not foster the kind of empowerment such a child might need, and unacceptably excludes whole communities of people. An image of the South began to form in my head: a snake, eating its own tail. Ladies Rock Athens, a camp for women and folks outside the gender binary, is May 13–15 at Athens School of Music. Tuition is $200 or $150 if you sign up with a friend, and registration is open until all spaces are filled. No musical experience is necessary, and all proceeds go towards materials, space rental and scholarships for youth campers in August. f

Only on the rarest of occasions was distinct melody imposed by Cox (as opposed to listeners’ ears trying to find their own patterns). Imagine black seawalls of utter doom and resignation that

Although on first pass you might cringe at seeing they committed a cover a Aerosmith’s “Dream On” to vinyl, after giving it a listen it fits fairly seamlessly with the rest of the band’s work. Thematically, the lyrics fit with Karbomb’s general party line, which walks a sharp fence between a jaundiced eye and against-all-odds hopefulness. Dig it at seagullsatl.bandcamp.com.

Sailor Winters
suck you into a vertical whirlpool of despair and isolation. That’s a good enough description for starters. This new record, though, is the most accessible and tuneful work Cox has ever done. It’s self-titled—a device that makes me think of this as a rebirth of sorts—and also the first proper album he’s done in approximately nine years. From the raw vocals on “Weak” to the tiny march of “King of Snares” to the traditionally gorgeous and tender “Weak Response (Boooo),” Sailor Winters succeeds at every turn. I’m most partial to “Planets In the Yard,” which is a slowly paced, deliberately executed piano excursion that shifts from being almost a synth anthem to a plaintive keydriven piece. It’s all available at the newly established sailorwinters.bandcamp.com, where Cox has also placed most of his Sailor Winters catalog. So, now I’ve led you to the well, but you’ve still gotta drink. Go for it. CLOCKED IN: It’s taken a minute to get around to this one, but anyone needing a solid crack in the ear could do a lot worse than Tag Team Champions, the barely month-old split LP between Athens’ Karbomb and Atlanta’s Seagulls. The pair have been show-mates for a while, and now it’s all confirmed on vinyl. Seagulls specializes in infectiously melodic, sometimes mid-tempo, bearded ’90s punk à la Hot Water Music, and Karbomb keeps the banner of just-under-thrash-speed hardcore
SLIGHT RETURN: Blurry jangle-pop band Dead Neighbors released a two-song thing last week called Pity Party Presents: Dead Neighbors. It carries on where the band’s last full-length release, its self-titled, 12-song album from 2015, left off. These songs are a little less brightly lit, though, and slightly muddy in just the right spots. I’m especially fond of the way the second track, “Indifference,” slows down and disintegrates in its final moments. There’s nothing really necessary or surprising happening here. Hell, it’s only two songs! But it’s not a bad way to spend 10 minutes, especially if you’re already a fan. Check ‘em at deadneighbors.bandcamp.com. PUNCH THE CEILING, HIT THE ROAD: Kinda goofy, definitely excitable party band Big Morgan has released one song (“Rabbit Hole”) from its upcoming full-length, Superpunch!. It’s remarkable for this weird guitar thing going on whereby full chords sound like shiny sheets of flashing light between verses. Just listen to it and you’ll see what I mean. It runs less than two minutes, so you’ve barely anything to lose and a band to gain! In other news, Big Morgan just left for three weeks of dates with cool local dudes Wieuca, and members report that they’re heading up the coast to NYC and back, which doesn’t sound like a bad way to kick off the summer at all. Find the new track at bigmorgan.bandcamp.com. f

If Civil War lacks anything, it’s the presence of a Big Bad, but when the enemy is your friend, who needs Doctor Doom (the MCU, obviously, but that’s another story) to further complicate relationships? Captain America: Civil War loosely germinated from Mark Millar’s terrific 2006 overhaul of the Marvel Universe. The movie personalizes that plot for the red, white and blue-suited Avenger with yet another attempt to save Bucky Barnes. (I am pretty sure Barnes is not worth several movies of trouble.) By borrowing Millar’s Civil War narrative frame, the movie permits itself to be more Avengers 3 than Cap 3 and utilize the strengths of multiple heroes while introducing several more crowd favorites. Both Avengers films, as well as Guardians of the Galaxy, proved that big-screen superheroes work best as a team. Cap’s stalwart do-gooder softens Iron Man’s snark, while the latter provides the former with much needed levity; Hulk never needs another solo adventure, ever. (A Wolverine and Hulk smashup would be another story.) Jumping straight to the big leagues, Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man fits Cap’s “Rogue Avengersâ€? lineup perfectly, as does the introduction of yet another Peter Parker (Tom Holland, The Impossible), aka Spider-Man, for Iron Man’s law-abiding crew. Holland’s energetic, youthful take provides new hope that

Pleasure Leftists
Flicker Theatre & Bar · 9 p.m. · $5 Cleveland, OH post-punks Pleasure Leftists are among the best in the game at reshaping time-tested sounds into something fresh and dangerous. Bassist Steve Peffer and guitarist Kevin Jaworski, both of legendary hardcore band 9 Shocks Terror, and drummer Mark TerVeen set a gloomy pace for Haley Morris’ nerve-racking yet melodic vocals. Despite the band’s impressive back catalog, Morris’ unpredictable stage presence gives Pleasure Leftists a sound best experienced live. Toss in local punks Harsh Words, led by a fellow 9 Shocks Terror expat in Jason Griffin, and noise rockers Vincas, and you’ve got an evening of intense creativity inspired by the Midwest’s underground legacy.

Screaming Females
Georgia Theatre Rooftop · 9 p.m. · $10 Maybe some people prefer piña coladas and getting caught in the rain, but power-punk trio Screaming Females seems more into moonshine and sprinting deliberately through a hurricane. Guitarist Marissa Paternoster’s ferocious vibrato rattles like windows in the early gusts of a storm before the impossible-tohyperbolize squalls of her frenzied solos bring down the house. It’s a testament to Paternoster’s melodic sense and the thunderous force of Screaming Females’ rhythm section that the band can sound so visceral and so dazzling at once. A rainstorm can start off terrifying and end up cleansing. Paternoster and company’s music is both, from start to finish. Bring a slicker. [Adam Clair]

hey, bonita…
Relief for Incest Survivors is Available Advice for Athens’ Loose and Lovelorn By Bonita Applebum advice@flagpole.com Dear Ms. Applebum, After reading your Apr. 20, 2016 column, I have some incredibly helpful, stupendously positive info for both you and your brave seeker of advice. The young lady who wrote to you about having survived incest alongside her sister, perpetrated by their birth father, does indeed have reparative relief locally and free of charge. In fact, to my knowledge, this time-sensitive, vitally important assistance has not been covered by your fine periodical, but needs to be shouted from the rooftops. This advice-seeker and her sister can now sue their father for his illegal acts no matter how long ago the criminal acts took place and free of charge. The Wilbanks Child Endangerment and Sexual Exploitation Clinic (the CEASE clinic) opened its doors this past January within the University of Georgia School of Law. House Bill 17, titled the “Hidden Predator Act” by
215 North Lumpkin St. • Athens, GA
18 & over / ID reqd. Tickets available online and at Georgia Theatre Box Office
One last significant piece of info to pass on to this specific seeker of advice and the rest of our community: There is no statute of limitations barrier to prosecuting aggravated child molestation. Obviously we don’t know the extent of the sexual abuse survived by this lady and her sister, but if it falls within the category of the aforementioned criminal charge, they could also still prosecute their father criminally, as well as utilizing our system of tort law. I would beseech you to contact this lady and not only pass on all of the info above, but please give her the contact info for our Northeast Georgia Sexual Assault & Child Advocacy Center, locally known as The Cottage. Thank you for printing this lady’s story! You’ve done great service to her, as well as to our entire Flagpole community. Most respectfully submitted, Gina M. Defalco, LCSW

the Georgia legislature, provides a two-year window of relief from any statute of limitations on bringing civil charges against a perpetrator of child molestation. The window closes on July 1, 2017, so it’s vitally important to get the word out. The CEASE clinic will work with these survivors free of charge. The director of the clinic is Emma Hetherington, and she can be reached at 706-369-5720 or ehether@ uga.edu. Ms. Hetherington is putting forth her greatest effort in raising awareness of this very time-sensitive, local assistance. She’s coming to our group psychotherapy practice, Positive Outcomes Psychological Services, in a few weeks. The school of thought around what’s interchangeably known as restorative or reparative justice is not as new to political science as psychology, but the other social sciences are catching up. After success stories like South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the macro-level ameliorative advances offered up have been crystallized into micro-level reparative help for individuals. One of the better places for further illumination of how to go beyond solely ending abuse of power but also mending the damage already done is the Center for Restorative Justice at Suffolk University in Boston.
Ms. Defalco, Thank you so much for sending us this information, and I’ll do my best to have your letter printed in its entirety. Correspondence like this reaffirms my decision to write the advice column for this great town. It’s worth it to talk about my own history as an abuse/assault survivor or wrongdoing if it means I’m helping other people out and giving people with more technical knowledge a place to reach out to those who need them. I’ve wondered about the lady who wrote to me, and I hope she and her sister are OK. I really hope she reads this and checks out some of the amazing resources you’ve provided here. (Anyone in a similar situation should feel free to check out these organizations, too!) I’m beyond grateful that you read this letter and felt the need to offer her your knowledge. We need lots of people like you in our community, and I’m honored to know that you can see I’m trying my best to help, too. Love, Bonita Need advice?
