Don’t Change WUGA Programming Editor’s note: This is an open letter to Karri HobsonPape, the University of Georgia’s vice president for marketing and communication, the department that includes UGA’s NPR and GPB radio affiliate.

WUGA is a beloved and vital source of connection for the university and Athens community. This local public radio station has been a jewel in the crown of UGA and Athens over the past 30 years. The Athens community has enjoyed award-winning, locally produced radio shows. To name just a few: “It’s Friday,” a model live show that drew national audiences to the Athens music scene through weekly performances and informed interviews; “Afternoon Concert” with Michael Cardin that provides soothing classical music for hectic workday afternoons sprinkled with interviews from the arts community; and “The Commons,” an informative news show featuring interviews with UGA scholars and esteemed guests to the visiting UGA academic community. These programs exemplified the diverse music, arts and intellectual leadership of UGA and the Athens community.

For many years the balanced mix of music and locally produced original programming on WUGA sustained the community listener and contributor base. This excellent weekday programming set the rhythm of the workday for a town cherished for its diversity and working independence.

Everyone from stay-at-home mothers to graduate students and faculty, professionals and retired community members structured their days to the programming. As a graduate student in the 1990s and volunteer at the radio station, I studied this through analysis of the 1995 Griffen Report and recognized how unique and beneficial WUGA was to the University of Georgia and the Athens community.

This cherished treasure is now under serious threat.

In 2011, the university purchased WNEG/WUGA TV and then linked it with GPB. WUGA FM cut back on some local programming. As a concerned listener, I met with UGA Vice President Tom Jackson and station manager Jimmy Sanders. They both assured me that local radio programming would not be reduced. Rather, they pledged to increase local radio programming and preserve this vital link for our community.

Now, major changes are occurring in the programming. From noon–9 p.m., there will be no music during weekdays.

All locally produced programs have been pushed to the margins of the schedule.

(Embarrassingly, the “local news” read by Jeff Dantre seems to be verbatim rip-andread from the Athens Banner Herald.) The loss of music during the afternoon workday, the marginalization of local programming and the reliance on piped-in talk radio will cost significant losses in listenership and support for WUGA. I recognize that these changes are based on the interpretation of the “WUGA Audience Research Project.” As a PhD in social sciences from UGA, I have serious reservations about how this survey was conducted, and that there was a strong bias

Hang Up And Drive

Atlanta Highway Is Not Prince

Is ACC Still Progressive?

understood that Athens was a unique “blue dot in a red sea” that marched to a liberal drumbeat compared to the regressive right wing conservatives that had taken over Georgia’s state and local governments. It was not that easy. The idea of “nonpartisan” elections had taken hold in Athens-Clarke County. The liberals went along, thinking they were being idealistic. The conservatives knew nonpartisan was the easiest way to get Republicans elected in Athens. This was more than a decade ago.

Has Athens’ government become more conservative? Perhaps half of the current Athens-Clarke County Commissioners took office less than four years ago. Most of the new ones I’ve never met. What are their respective visions of Athens’ future?

What are their ideas for reducing poverty and improving the quality of life for the underserved? Do the commissioners who’ve been around for a decade or more still have liberal leanings? As I said, I should’ve paid attention, but it sure seems quiet these days on the liberal/progressive front.

At least one of the newer commissioners doesn’t equivocate about where she stands on the political spectrum. Melissa Link proclaims on her website: “My first duty as an elected official will be to ensure a better life for the too many among us who have less than enough. I truly believe that when those at the bottom are able to get ahead, we are all lifted a little higher.”

Who could ask for a more genuinely progressive aspiration from a local elected office holder? Yet, I’ve heard complaints from some that at ACC Commission meetings she is sometimes a disruptive influence. If that is true, I say, “Thank you, Melissa Link!”

I recently met Commissioner Link for the first time. A sincerely dynamic personality, she was greeting constituents while she shopped at the West Broad Street Market and Garden. West Broad is the inspirational grass roots community undertaking that is now threatened with literally being paved over and used as a parking lot by its former benefactor, the Clarke County School District. The CCSD has already dropped the associated Young Urban Farmers program from its budget. Athens Land Trust, the non-profit that administers West Broad Garden and Market, is seeking through the crowdfunding site GoFundMe to raise the $40,000 now needed to sustain the Young Urban Farmers for another year. (A link to the site is in the online version of this letter.)

Link and the West Broad Market and Garden are both the real deal. Each represent hope for a future that includes uplift for Athenians other than affluent UGA students passing through. Yet both Melissa and West Broad seem to represent irritations, even threats to some of Athens’ established power structure.

Athens for Everyone, the “power to the people” nonprofit started by Tim Denson, whom Nancy (no relation) Denson defeated in Athens’ last mayoral race, has asked each ACC commissioner to answer a questionnaire. I found A4E’s website a good place to begin to get to know which commissioners exhibit liberal or progressive bonafides.

Four commissioners so far have failed to respond. Read the answers given by those that have responded. Ask those who haven’t what their answers would be. Let’s all pay attention.

Three Departing State Reps Who Made a Mark

How Do I Love Thee?

Two former interns/writers for Flagpole and editors for Clarke Central’s Odyssey, Bryan Barks and Chris Miller, were united in marriage on Saturday’s lovely evening down at Stan Mullins’ outdoor art studio.

Her grandfather, Coleman Barks, officiated, and poet that he is he could as much as anybody there appreciate the vows that each wrote and read to the other. Writers: Got to love them!

Hot Now! The summer issue of Oxford American is out. You can read it at oxfordamerican. org, where you can also subscribe to get the magazine and hold it in your hands every quarter. Like Flagpole, OA is best when it is lying around the house for you to pick up and read when you want to.

As usual, this issue is a potpourri grab bag treasure trove of good writing more or less about the South, but the whole South—all ethnicities, all strata, all areas, all cultures: the South as it really is, including its hot, gaudy craziness. The editorial strategy seems to be to hire good writers and then just let them write what they want. This is long-form journalism at its best, a writers’ magazine where the printed word is the primary point.

You may recall that OA began in, yes, Oxford, MS and was subsidized for a while by the best-selling lawyer/novelist John Grisham.

After Grisham withdrew his financial support, the magazine floundered and finally closed, only to be picked up by the University of Central Arkansas, which now

underwrites its publication. OA is full of ads for places all over the South, but that extra support from UCA allows it the luxury of filling its slick, full-color pages with a quantity of writing that most magazines can’t accommodate.

She knocked the wind out of him and left him flailing weakly, sputtering and caricaturing Bad Trump.

Then Trump was saved by the bell.

Muhammad Ali died, and the news cycle switched to all Ali all the time, as they always do when a celebrity of his magnitude dies—and there are few of his magnitude. He was our greatest athlete, and let us not forget his words when he spoke truth to power: “I ain’t draft dodging. I ain’t burning no flag. I ain’t running to Canada. I’m staying right here. You want to send me to jail? Fine, you go right ahead. I’ve been in jail for 400 years.

Remember Lake Country Brewing Co., the brewery that’s going into an old mill warehouse in Greensboro? It is now Oconee Brewing Co. They had to change the name, because the patent office already had a winery named Lake Country, which was such a generic name, anyway.

Oconee Brewing is much better for a brewery located right in the heart of the Oconee basin. They say the beer will be flowing by the end of the year, so start drawing straws to see who’ll be the designated driver for short road trips over to Greensboro to enjoy even more local beer. f

Last week’s vote on the Clarke County School District’s 2016–17 budget was a bit messier than usual—in a good way.

Criticized here (and elsewhere) as being little more than a rubber stamp for Superintendent Philip Lanoue, the Board of Education is showing signs of stirring.

Lanoue’s $137 million budget passed unchanged, but three board members—Greg Davis, Carol Williams and Ovita Thornton—voted against it, which rarely, if ever, happens.

Williams did not comment on her vote, and Thornton would only say that she had several items Lanoue has not addressed to her satisfaction, but Davis laid out in detail why he voted “no.” Lanoue failed to meet with board members after public hearings on the budget to discuss any changes based on public input. Specifically, he didn’t put back a $40,000 cut from the Young Urban Farmers program, which pays students to work in the West Broad School community garden, and he didn’t address concerns from the public and board members that, in the wake of the Cedar Shoals High School sexual assault that rocked the city, his budget focused too much on security at the expense of early intervention. “As a new member, I haven’t seen the board as involved in this process as I would like to see,” said Davis, who took office in 2015.

Lanoue pointed to $250,000 in the budget to partner with UGA to bring doctoral students into schools to work with students, which he said essentially doubles the district’s number of behavioral specialists, as well as $200,000 to put the elementary school kids with the worst behavioral problems in separate classes where they would get extra attention.

Earlier in the meeting, Davis also pushed to reconsider a vote last month to eliminate the position of director of instructional technology (a decision that was both oddly timed and head-scratching given that Lanoue has handed out more tablets to students than Moses). The board’s process for placing an item on the agenda is so little-used that for a while no one could figure out how to do it. Eventually, Davis fell two votes short of the two-thirds majority needed, with Thornton, Williams and Carl Parks supporting him.

Something to Taco ’Bout Plus, an Impressive New Market in Madison

By Hillary Brown food@flagpole.com

Joshua L. Jones

TACO TALK: The building next to the Shell station on Oconee Street right before it becomes Lexington Road has been a series of restaurants. I can’t remember any farther back than when Peaches occupied it, but that gave way to Taqueria Mi Tierra (which still operates a branch out at the J&J Flea Market, making particularly excellent salsas and grilling whole delicious chickens over charcoal for a pittance), which in turn became El Azteca, a depressingly mainstream Mexican restaurant that hung on for a long time. Now, because it’s easy to replace like with like when you have the decor or the particular kitchen equipment, Taqueria El Agave (1280 Oconee St., 706549-2639) has moved in and is a step in the right direction.

You can get the basic fajitas and burritos, but its Facebook ads promising Taco Tuesday show Mexican-style soft tacos made with corn tortillas, not crunchy shells of ground beef and lettuce. El Agave isn’t exactly a marisqueria, but it seems to emphasize seafood, offering several different soups made with fish, shrimp, squid, etc. on the weekend, as well as a menudo special.

The shrimp you can order in tacos or other preparations such as camarones al mojo de ajo (in a garlic sauce, basically), are high quality, plump and well cooked. The ceviche Taqueria El Agave that tops a tostada is fresh and zippy.

The tacos are pretty well made on the whole, although the meatier preparations can be greasy. In addition to shrimp, you can get al pastor, chicken, carnitas, chorizo, asada and lengua, all savory and salty, but you might regret the indulgence later. A fairly hot green sauce comes standard, but you may be able to talk the staff into the even hotter creamy red sauce, which starts gentle before it crescendos to ring your ears. Sopes are a bit too doughy, and the tortillas that make up the tacos are fine but not particularly noteworthy, but on the whole the place is a big improvement over its predecessors.

Aguas frescas are available to drink, although the restaurant doesn’t make all of them in house. A big glass of the sandia (watermelon) is a refreshing thing to have on a hot day. El Agave is open for lunch and dinner every day, with a full bar in the back of the space and several TVs that tend to be tuned to ESPN, especially soccer.

WENT TO MARKET: As we’ve talked and talked over the development still revising its plans

for the St. Joseph’s property on Prince, one thing that keeps coming up is what kind of independent grocery store could even locate there, if not Daily Groceries. There’s a potential answer to that question just down the road in Madison, where the brand new Farmview Market (2610 Eatonton Road, 844-210-7030) is a combination grocery store, weekend farmers market and cafÊ.

Admittedly, the space is pretty large, maybe not exactly the kind of compact urban grocery store folks who live near downtown Athens imagine—it more resembles Fresh Market in its cute displays—but it packs in a lot.

An excellent butcher shop with a wide selection of organic and/or local meats, poultry and seafood greets you when you enter. To the left is the store, with produce (again, much of it organic or grown in the largely agricultural Morgan County area), dry goods, staples and gift-y things (fancy cakes, soaps, arty stuff). The prices are fairly high, but the quality of the offerings is, too, and there are good sales (e.g., Wagyu ground beef for $6.99 a pound). On Saturdays from 8 a.m.–1 p.m., a farmers market occupies a covered outdoor area to the right of the entrance, with a King of Pops cooler, live music and plants for sale alongside duck eggs, veggies, crafts and more.

Head to the right of the inside of the space and you’ll find the restaurant, which pairs counter service with a surprisingly fancy menu and plenty of booth seating.

The excellent burger, for example, is made with local ground beef, housemade bacon, pimento cheese, crispy Vidalia onion rings and local lettuce and tomatoes. The bun can’t quite contain it (or the sandwich that combines braised Georgia heritage pork, the same Vidalia onion rings, bacon aioli and a slightly-too-cooked fried egg), but everything else works swimmingly.

A rice bowl made with Anson Mills Carolina Gold varies its toppings but focuses on greens and root vegetables.

Specials vary weekly and might include salmon with Red Mule cheese grits and a pea relish. There’s also breakfast, a PB&J made with peanut butter from Chamblee and a big dessert case with craft ice cream from High Road in Marietta, layer cakes and other sweets. The market is open from 7 a.m.–7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and the cafÊ does breakfast the same days from 7–10:30 a.m. and lunch from 11 a.m.–3 p.m. f

A Downtown for Everyone The Hot Corner Celebration Is an Essential Athens Event

By David Eduardo music@flagpole.com

T

he denizens of a city should feel represented by and connected to their downtown. A downtown district should simultaneously showcase the pride of the local population and offer visitors a glimpse into the cultural and economic histories of an area, along with evidence of its current social priorities. Above all else, a downtown should engender a strong sense of place for generation after generation, because consistently encouraging a city’s flavor and celebrating its unique characteristics ensures a future both vital and vibrant.

With those beliefs at heart, and inspired by the wildly successful Sweet Auburn Springfest in Atlanta, longtime Athenian Homer Wilson created the Hot Corner Celebration and Soul Food Feast 16 years ago.

The 2016 incarnation of the two-day event opens Friday night with a not-to-be-missed gospel extravaganza at the First African Methodist Episcopal Church, an historic sanctuary in downtown Athens designed and built by African Americans with a congregation that can trace its roots to the 1820s. On Saturday revelers can expect a block party featuring 10 hours of nonstop live entertainment and a bevy of civic, culinary and competitive activities. There will be barbecue, classic cars, checkers and chess.

Wilson has worked at his family’s barber shop on North Hull Street for more than 50 years. He recalls making the trip to Athens from Madison County as an 8- or 9-yearold boy, watching men play billiards at a pool hall in the Morton Theater. He remembers when the Union Hall Hotel faced west, casting early afternoon shadows on what is now the Manhattan Cafe, before a huge church was built that needed a place for its gymnasium.

Any portrait of the Hot Corner Celebration would be incomplete without an acknowledgment of the topic of gentrification. The intersection of Hull and Washington streets was the epicenter of African American culture and commerce less than a century ago. The Morton Theatre, built

by the wealthy black businessman Monroe Bowers “Pink” Morton in 1910, hosted such legends as Blind Willie McTell and Amun-Ra performs at the Cab Calloway. Today, 2015 Hot Corner Celebration. only a handful of blackowned and operated businesses remain.

This year’s Hot Corner comes at a time when—in the wake of the General Beauregard’s “N*****ita” controversy last fall—downtown is facing criticism from minority and progressive communities that it lacks a welcoming atmosphere for people of color. The lack of diversity downtown bothers Wilson, who says a more diverse mix of businesses would make downtown friendlier for people of all cultures.

“When I read the Flagpole article about discrimination in the bars downtown, I was shocked,” he says. “I thought we were all over that.”

Reports from black UGA students that they’re regularly turned away from student-oriented bars also shocked Mokah Johnson, an educator and hip hop promoter who’s been organizing efforts to rid downtown of discriminatory practices, such as dress codes aimed at keeping African Americans out of student bars. “It’s not inviting to African Americans, or seemingly any culture outside of [white] college students,” says Johnson, who is originally from Jamaica. “My family came to visit as well, and stated they felt uncomfortable downtown.”

Johnson believes businesses that cater to minorities— hair salons, clothing retailers and authentic Mexican and Caribbean restaurants, for example—could thrive downtown because they wouldn’t be subject to the seasonal shifts in student clientele. She says she’d like to see AthensClarke County offer grants to help local minority business owners locate in the high-rent downtown area. (Athens Downtown Development Authority Executive Director Pamela Thompson says she is working on a low-interest microloan program for small businesses.)

To its credit, the Hot Corner Celebration is not simply an exercise in nostalgia; it’s facing these issues head-on. The mission, as event organizer and Athens Technical College instructor Tawana Mattox shares, is not only to “pay homage to the history of Hot Corner business owners from the ’50s and ’60s,” she says, but to also “promote a site of exchange for encouraging more African American business ownership in the downtown area.”

Mattox has enjoyed attending the festival for years, and transitioned into her administrative and leadership role in 2013 after hearing a radio show featuring Wilson and A.R. Killian, Athens’ first black policeman. “Their stories and roll call of the many African American businesses that lined up Washington and Hull Street resonated with my soul, and I remember visiting Mr. Wilson shortly after,” she says. “The rest is history.”

Recruiting young, intelligent, passionate talent like Mattox to serve on the planning committee and help grow the annual summer event has been Wilson’s organizational strength. The past two years have seen a significant attendance surge, and local promoter Montu Miller’s role in the festival’s increased popularity cannot be overstated. Bands, speakers, poets, MCs, DJs and dancers—more than 40 acts in all—will entertain the crowds on Saturday until the sun goes down. (Performers include Jet Squad, Chrismis, Blacknerdninja, Squalle, L.G. and Versatyle Tha Wildchyld; see the online version of this story for a full schedule.)

Miller had a hand in curating the entire experience. “I’m not going to lie,” says Miller. “Booking so many acts can get really crazy, but my family already knows how I get during this time of the year. Ultimately, it is worth the time and effort knowing I’m helping to not only preserve Athens’ black history, and Athens’ history as a whole, but to build a foundation for future generations.”

So what does the future hold—for the Hot Corner Celebration and the neighborhood? The sky’s the limit.

Wilson says he is pleased with the recent momentum and would love for the event to ultimately host a college football classic in the fall featuring two historically black colleges, complete with a downtown parade and marching bands at halftime. Clarke Central High School has the facilities to host, until the game outgrows the space and Hot Corner organizers set their sights on Sanford Stadium. (A 13-minute Ludacris pregame show probably won’t happen.)

“I personally believe there is room for a lot more growth,” says Miller, adding, “Hot Corner can be just as big as any other festival that Athens has to offer. This will only be achieved through bigger sponsors and even more support from the community.”

Mattox concurs, saying she is confident that Hot Corner can not only become a more popular festival but also expand its scope to offer year-round activities, educational programs and partnerships that foster an entrepreneurial spirit within the community. All of this would be welcomed, healthy and essential for our downtown. f Shaye Gambrell contributed reporting.

Summer Storms

Four Eyes Gets Down to Earth

New Madrid Ramps Up the Intensity

Plus, More Music News and Gossip

By Andy Barton music@flagpole.com

G

eorgia’s summer swelter has officially taken hold of our fair city.

Flock to the nearest pool for a soothing dip, or beat the heat indoors with a cold beverage. Do whatever you must to keep the tension from running high, because although the season’s turn signals familiar benefits, this summer’s bound to bring a storm. And while local four-piece New Madrid has been calming Athens’ nerves for years now, the band’s latest album, magnetkingmagnetqueen, with its blend of expansive psychedelics and heady krautrock, is a far stronger storm than we bargained for.

Like any storm, the progression towards magnetkingmagnetqueen was a gradual build-up. The band’s reverb-washed debut album, 2012’s David Barbe-produced Yardboat, was the type of laid-back music perfectly suited for humid grill-outs, recalling early My Morning Jacket and classic Southern rock in proportionate measure.

Over time, the band—guitarists Phil McGill

its jammier material that reflects the music’s two recording locales: Chase Park Transduction, here in Athens, and Dogwood Lodge, an old, isolated church camp outside of Chattanooga that McGill attended as a kid.

“It’s funny, because once I really got into music and I would travel around, one of the things I’d [think] would be, ‘This would be an amazing place to set up and make music, or record a song.’ Any place I’d go, I’d be kind of scouting that out,” McGill says. “We just kind of got lucky that in the middle of the summer it wasn’t utilized, and we were able to make that happen.”

The band set up shop with a mobile recording rig in one of the facility’s big, open halls and began laying down material without outside distractions. “A lot of the songs that we got from that session are the bigger, longer ones that are vibe-ier, and then the ones that are a little quicker with more bite we did back at Chase Park,” says McGill, adding that the relaxed pace

Gaelle beri

and Graham Powers, bassist Ben Hackett and drummer Alex Woolley—would come to be recognized as one of the most exciting live groups in town, following up its debut with 2014’s Sunswimmer on Athens’ Normaltown Records. While Yardboat provided a low-key soundtrack to midsummer nights, the sophomore album kicked things up a notch, mirroring the sprawling, atmospheric intensity the band’s live shows had come to be known for.

It makes sense, then, that, after a couple years of relentless touring, the band’s most recent record placed it directly in the eye of the storm.

“Playing a lot of shows had more of an influence on this record than the last two records. When we had done Sunswimmer, we had toured a good bit regionally, but hadn’t really gotten in the groove of playing every night, of playing different places,” says McGill. “I think [magnetkingmagnetqueen is] more consistently propulsive and more of a drum-heavy record” with less breathing room, he continues. “We’re doing a little shorter sets with higher energy.”

There’s a striking dichotomy between the band’s newer, punchier songs and

of recording allowed him extra time to record vocal snippets on his own. The devilish, 11-minute “Guay Lo,” for instance, stretched on from an original two-minute piece at Dogwood, and an alternate version McGill kept to himself incorporates samples of crowd noise from last fall’s Republican debates.

By far the most bold and diverse New Madrid record to date, magnetkingmagnetqueen embodies the contradictions we face on a daily basis, including the politically absurd. And though each of the group’s records has ties to summer, McGill’s says the third album represents the season’s unpredictability. “This is like summer turning into fall,” he says. “A lot more parched.

Bigger storms. Definitely not as relaxed, not getting to fully enjoy summer in the same way.” f

THIS IS THE ONE: Four Eyes, the ongoing musical project of Erin Lovett, released a new album last week named Welcome to Earth. Lovett, who has already clocked 12 previous releases, recorded this one at home with Patrick Brick (aka Futo), and it was mastered by Jesse Mangum at The Glow Recording Studio. Lovett has been an accomplished songwriter for quite a while, but this new album is just so strikingly lovely and tender, it’s a step above what fans familiar with her older work will expect. It’s surprisingly hopeful and happy, yet staunchly and carefully observant. Musically, it follows the same basic dark folk structure of her previous records, and Lovett’s strong, understated vocals carry each song along as if it’s a most important task.

Lyrically, her deeply thoughtful and original expressions of love, proximity and distance, contentment, eschatology and the complexity of the human condition are unparalleled among her previous work. What I’m saying is Welcome to Earth is a beautifully wonderful thing, and I don’t think Erin Lovett it’s possible for you to click quickly enough over to foureyesathens.bandcamp.com to grab a copy.

JUNE BABIES: Heavy rock group Rat Babies is celebrating its 10-year anniversary by releasing a new EP this month and making its entire back catalog free for a limited time. The EP is named Mumbles, and the lead single is “Anchor.” The song is slowchurning, anxiously abrasive and easily among the most fully realized things Rat Babies has ever recorded. The band is selfdescribed as “psychedelic-doom-noise,” and that’s pretty accurate, although I’d argue there’s a solid sense of melody in most of their stuff, even if it’s not laying right there on the surface. Rat Babies is populated permanently by the core duo of the impervious Mux Blank and Toby Brodie (aka Chodd), who are joined this time around by Dain Marx. This new recording was done at the Joker Joker Gallery and mixed and mastered by Kyle Spence (Harvey Milk). Check it out and get your free back catalog over at thecompleteguidetocaringforyourratbabies. com. Keep up with the Babies via facebook. com/ratbabies.

The Turtles also dealt with way too similar a personal conflict already; Master Splinter (v. Tony Shalhoub) needs to step up his life lessons.

9 to 5 Before there was Office Space or “The Office,” there was 9 to 5. The famous movie starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton featured a boss from hell and a comedic fantasy about staging a coup d’état in a dysfunctional workplace.

Happy 50th, Hilsman Broderick Flanigan Leads Mural Project

Adarrius Taylor, a seventh-grader, works on shading details of a knight chess piece. Taylor learned how to play chess through Chess and Community.

By Joshua L. Jones arts@flagpole.com

ocal artist Broderick Flanigan recently completed his second project for a youth mural program he launched this year. To commemorate the annual MLK Day of Service in January, Flanigan covered a wall in his childhood neighborhood—the East Athens Triangle Plaza—with vibrant colors and stunning portraits of civil rights leaders Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. Flanigan’s newest mural depicts Hilsman Middle School, which he attended and which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. For the project, he worked closely with his former art teacher, Starr Campbell, as well as current students. The artist illustrated portraits of his old principal and homeroom teachers, then added students into the foreground based on a sketch by Campbell.

The mural also pictures images of the chess pieces Flanigan uses to instruct youth through Chess and Community, a local nonprofit that teaches kids to “think before you move.” f

All photographs taken by Joshua L. Jones.

Michael Niedzwiecki-Castile, a sixth-grader, gets ready to start painting. “With Ms. Campbell leaving this year, getting to work on this was really an honor—just to be part of something that’s going to be around for years,” he says.

MUSIC | Fri, June 10

The Foundry · 8 p.m. · $12 It’s been a long time since their heyday, but The Producers still sound like eager kids in skinny neckties. The Atlanta group formed in 1980, and by 1981 it was working with producer Tom Werman on a self-titled debut. With MTV launching, the timing was perfect for the band to reach a young audience via videos like “What She Does to Me” and “What’s He Got.” 1982’s You Make the Heat featured a bigger, radio-ready sound, demonstrated by lead single “She Sheila.” Though the group has gone on hiatus several times, the original lineup gets together for occasional gigs. Anyone who grew up in those early days will be impressed to hear that the foursome remains melodic, energetic and tight. [T. Ballard Lesemann]

hey, bonita…

Hubby, Leave Me Be Advice for Athens’ Loose and Lovelorn

By Bonita Applebum advice@flagpole.com Dear Bonita, My husband and I have been married about a year and together for a total of six. He’s my soulmate, no doubt about it! We moved in together about six months into dating, which is kinda fast, but it works great for us. We have our little differences, but we are very well suited for each other and share our space pretty well, for the most part.

I say “for the most part” because I recently went back to graduate school to finish a degree, which means I’m doing lots of work at home and even taking a few online classes that require more quiet time/alone time than my hubby is used to me needing. He sometimes drifts into my office when I’m doing schoolwork just because he’s bored and wants me to hang out with him. He has a home office too, and I know that when he’s in there with the door shut, that means he’s busy and should not be disturbed. But he doesn’t grant me the same courtesy at all.

I always tell him that I’m still working, and I try to give him an ETA for when I’ll be done, but he still insists on interrupting me when I’m concentrating. He’ll sometimes walk in during my online classes,

again, and I’m assuming you weren’t in grad school while dating your husband, because he certainly has no concept of study time.

I think he’s just used to you always being available to him, and it’s taking him a while to adjust to your new schedule.

I appreciate your concern over hurting his feelings, but you have to stand up for yourself and communicate your needs to this guy. You have to tell him that when you’re in your office with the door shut, he should not be interrupting you. Point out that you do this for him, happily, and that if he cares about you continuing your education, he’ll make the necessary adjustments and give you your space.

Some dudes interpret things selfishly when you state your needs to them, and you seem to be concerned that he will take this personally and get upset or sad. If that’s the case, I’d recommend on-campus date nights. Get him into the idea that you’re a student now, as well as his wife, and as a student your needs are different. Meet him for picnics between classes, or go out to eat at campus-adjacent establishments.

Have him meet

which happen on Skype, and my professor will see me shooing him away. It’s embarrassing, and I think it’s incredibly rude on his part, especially since I have no problem giving him the same amount of space.

I love my husband, and love living with him, but I find myself studying on campus sometimes just to get some peace. I don’t want him to feel alienated or like I’m telling him to buzz off. I just need space to work. How can I communicate this need to him without hurting his feelings? Because I really think it might.

Sincerely, A Married Schoolgirl Hi Schoolgirl, This is a situation that lots of people in long-term cohabitation deal with at some point. You and your husband have gotten very comfortable with your home life being a certain way, with him having private office time and your time being more available to him. You only recently started grad school

you on campus when class is over and walk into downtown for dinner and drinks. Go to campus events with him. Dive headlong into the student experience, and drag your husband with you.

If you start to feel like he wants you to choose between marriage and an advanced degree, please know that you can be married and a student all at once. This guy seems to really love your attention to the point that he doesn’t like for you to share it with other things. He’s gonna have to understand that you’re a person with dreams and aspirations beyond being a wife to him—and marriage is supposed to be a partnership nowadays, anyway. You’re supposed to uplift and support each other and grow together, and this is how you’re choosing to grow right now. He needs to get into it. f Need advice?
