Supreme Court Sends a Message

Hillizabeth Warrenton Is Such a Slam Dunk That It Won’t Happen No Longer Can Georgia Try to Legislate Abortion Clinics Away By Pete McCommons editor@flagpole.com

By Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com

My opinion on national politics is, in the words of my cousin Owen, as useless as tits on a boar hog—i.e. slightly less useful than my opinions on local politics. Nevertheless, occasionally one has to say something, just to get rid of it. They’re such a perfect match that it will never happen, but the dynamic duo of Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren—call them Hillizabeth Warrenton or whatever— would generate more excitement and

who fantasize about blowing her away with their arsenals. You don’t want a crazy liberal bitch in the White House, big boy? Look, Frank Underwood gave up his powerful position as House majority leader to become vice president, didn’t he? It wasn’t long before he was president, and now Claire’s running for veep. Or was she elected? Or did she decide to run against Frank? I can’t remember how the season ended.

enthusiasm (and outrage) than any other vice president pick possible. The others under consideration that I have seen would “balance” the ticket in the usual ways but would actually be a drag on it. That guy who used to be governor of, what, Virginia? He sounds like a great governor, especially compared to the last one, whom the court just made the poster child for legal bribery of public officials. But with him on the ticket or Sen. Sherrod Brown or even that guy Cuban, you don’t get that synergistic jolt so evident in Clinton and Warren’s joint appearance last week. Warren has the energy and the cool to attack Trump effectively while letting Clinton relax a little. I know this sounds just like a Facebook post from your sketchy uncle, but we both know that Warren wouldn’t lose Clinton any voters who already don’t want to vote for a woman, and she would tap into all that wonderful energy Bernie has generated. She’s younger than Hillary and Bernie and represents a new generation; she should attract Bernie’s enthusiastic younger voters. Sure, I’d hate to see her leave the Senate, especially if she’s followed by a Republican appointee, but Massachusetts will eventually sort that out. What is the vice presidency? Not worth “a bucket of warm piss,” according to John Nance Garner, who became FDR’s first veep. Lyndon Johnson gave up his powerful position as Senate majority leader to become JFK’s vice president and despised it, but you see how it worked out for him. I hate to say it, but Warren would give Clinton some cover from all the nutjobs

Anyway, having the leader of the Warren wing as her right-hand woman could give Hillary Clinton a lot of flexibility in campaigning and in operating as president. She could put Warren in charge of some real initiatives, as Bill put her in charge of coming up with a health insurance plan. Yeah. I know. But who’s to say it didn’t pave the way for Obamacare? Maybe Warren can get us the rest of the way. And then there is, as always, Trump. Nobody so far—especially the 16 feckless Republican candidates who went up against him—has shown the ability to deflate him and bait him into overreactions that Elizabeth Warren has already demonstrated, and she’s just getting started. Warren could in fact be a crucial factor in preventing a Trump victory. She has that same outsider appeal that he cultivates and that is no longer possible for Clinton. And assuming that this dream team wins, that puts Elizabeth Warren in line to succeed Hillary Clinton in perhaps only four years, but more likely in eight. Their candidacy seems such an obvious slam dunk that it can’t possibly happen. Clinton will no doubt take the safe shot she has always taken and that has always paid off for her. But this is not always. We have never been here before. This is the time for a swerve outside the box, a curated pivot. “The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only within the falling of the dusk.” We may well be facing the end of our civilization, but we must fight back against the forces of darkness. We can win, but this time it may take two goddesses. f

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ JULY 6, 2016

More than four decades have passed since the Supreme Court issued its Roe v. Wade decision that made abortions legal, but the pro-life movement is still trying to find some way of reversing that. The latest strategy in conservative legislatures has been to pass state laws that shut down abortion clinics by imposing regulations that make it too expensive or administratively impossible for them to continue operating. Texas did this three years ago when it enacted a law requiring clinic physicians to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles and mandating abortion clinics to comply with the same regulations that apply to ambulatory surgical centers. The intent of the law was to shut down clinics, and it worked: The number of abortion clinics in Texas dropped from 41 to 19. The Texas law was appealed to the Supreme Court, where a majority of the justices agreed that the measure put an unconstitutional burden on women trying to obtain an abortion. “In the face of no threat to women’s health, Texas seeks to force women to travel long distances to get abortions in crammed-to-capacity superfacilities,” the court ruled. “Patients seeking these services are less likely to get the kind of individualized attention, serious conversation and emotional support that doctors at less taxed facilities may have offered.” Texas is not the only state to try such tactics. Ever since Republicans gained majority control of the Georgia General Assembly in 2005, there have been similar attempts to ban the procedure. The late Rep. Bobby Franklin for years introduced bills that would have banned all abortions and made it a capital offense for a physician to perform them. His proposals never made it out of committee, so Franklin

once tried to attach it as an amendment to a bill regulating electronic dog collars. In 2011, state Sen. Barry Loudermilk (who’s now serving in Congress) sponsored a bill that would have allowed a woman who got an abortion to go back later and sue her physician—even if the woman had already signed consent forms. The measure was called the “rapist’s bill of rights” because it would also have allowed a man who raped and impregnated a woman to sue the physician who subsequently performed an abortion. That bill did not make it to the governor’s desk, but the next year, Rep. Doug McKillip of Athens had more success. McKillip introduced a bill to ban abortions after 20 weeks. Democrats reacted by sarcastically sponsoring a bill that would prohibit men from getting vasectomies unless they were medically necessary to avert serious injury or death. “Thousands of children are deprived of birth in this state every year because of the lack of state regulation over vasectomies,” the bill read. “It is patently unfair that men can avoid the rewards of unwanted fatherhood by presuming that their judgment over such matters is more valid than the judgment of the General Assembly.” The Democrats’ bill didn’t go anywhere, but the 20-week ban passed and was signed into law. That law turned out to be the end of McKillip’s political career, however. When he ran for re-election later that year, his constituents booted him out of office. The Supreme Court’s latest decision makes it clear that the Roe v. Wade decision is not going to be overturned anytime soon, and legislatures that try to regulate abortion clinics out of existence will surely be slapped down. f

The Line on Stein The Green Party Picks Up Bernie’s Mantle and More Local News By Blake Aued news@flagpole.com

Stein is currently polling around 6 percent, but support for third-party candidates tends to fade, not grow, as Election Day draws near, because the two-party system is baked into American politics. A modest— and achievable—goal would be to gather the 7,500 signatures necessary to get on the ballot in Georgia, then win 2 percent of the vote, guaranteeing the Green Party future ballot access. Even 2 percent would be huge for the Green Party. Stein won 0.36 percent four years ago while on the ballot in 36 states. (The party’s high-water mark was Ralph Nader’s 2.7 percent in 2000.) A note of caution, though: The Libertarian Party crossed that threshold long ago but hasn’t been able to grow further. It remains to be seen how many former Sanders supporters Stein can attract. One local Sanders organizer, Jeff Hannan, estimated perhaps 10 percent; many are planning on writing in Sanders’ name as a protest, he said. Most voters don’t know who Stein is, and that’s unlikely to change unless she can

It would free up recent graduates from having to work multiple jobs to pay off their loans, giving them time to engage in activism and to work on her “Green New Deal,” she said. “This is essential if we are to survive as a society,” she said. The Green New Deal would create 20 million jobs converting the nation’s power grid into an all-wind, solar and and hydroelectric system by 2030. She didn’t put a price tag on the program, but said costs would be covered by health care savings. She also proposed a “Medicare for all” single-payer, government-run health care system.

up the district’s attendance policy for the 2016–17 school year. Attendance was a major topic for parents and teachers at an April community forum on discipline issues. According to statistics distributed by Executive Director for Student Support Services Ernest Hardaway to the BOE’s Policy Committee on June 29, 48 percent of CCSD students missed six or more days during the last school year. (That’s enough for the state to consider those students truant.) About 12 percent missed 18 or more days. Both those statistics are up a couple of percentage points over 2014–2015. “The trouble is, if you compare ’15 to ’16, it’s going the wrong way,” school board member Greg Davis said. “If you read the national statistics, they’re staggering,” Superintendent Philip Lanoue said. While some students might cut class or linger too long in the bathroom, others face real challenges that keep them away from class, he said. “We have [students] babysitting [younger siblings]. We have people with jobs. We have all kinds of reasons,” including students who are homeless or in foster care or whose families move a lot. But Gaines Elementary cut absences by 900 days last year “because they focused,” Lanoue said. “We need to make this a district focus. This is our priority: Come to school.” Being late or absent is usually the parent’s fault in elementary and middle school, Hardaway said. In high school, it’s on the student—and high school kids are a lot more likely to miss class. The policy revisions came out of a committee of administrators, teachers, counselors and students, Hardaway said. They will require schools to more closely track attendance, contact parents when students miss more than four days and develop plans to help chronically late or absent students. Students can make up work they missed during excused absences, and both administrators and board members rejected the notion of docking tardy or absent students’ grades. “What we don’t want is students who have a behavioral problem being penalized for an instructional issue,” said Sherri Freeman, the associate superintendent of human resources and student services. Instead, counselors, social workers and behavioral specialists should address the root problem, she said. Pending approval from principals (who are currently between contracts), the Policy Committee signed off on the new attendance policy, as well as a more colorful and user-friendly version of the Student Code of Conduct. The full board will vote at a July 14 called meeting to leave time for the Code of Conduct to be printed before teachers come back to work in late July. The timing means public comment won’t be taken before the vote, but the student attendance policy is currently available at clarke.k12.ga.us by clicking on the “policy manual” link under the “board of education” tab, then clicking on “student attendance” under the “pending policies” header. Lanoue said he will email the link to parents and accept public input on the board’s behalf. f

Three years after finishing the Treatment and Accountability Court program, Emmanuel Ellison is still in the habit of waking up early and lifting weights at 7 a.m.

Ellison framed his diploma from the ACC Treatment and Accountability Court and hung it on the wall.

Zarate and case manager Kristen Daniel are on call for problems, and they know that time is the great healer. Getting off the streets is also key. “We want them to be accountable and compliant with their probation and treatment, but before we can expect them to do that, we have to help make sure they have a roof over their head and have food,” Zarate says. Throughout most of his time in TAC, Ellison lived with his mom. He says her no-nonsense attitude helped keep him on the path to recovery and maintain Sweat’s barracks-like schedule. He prays and lifts weights every day at 7 a.m. and keeps an early bedtime—old TAC habits fostered by morning check-ins and evening curfews. All this helped Ellison re-enter regular life, and so did forging personal ties with Daniel and Judge Sweat. But there was a setback. After about two years in the program, Ellison was in a car crash that severely injured his back and killed his younger brother. He’s still dealing with the legal, medical and emotional ramifications of the wreck. TAC helped him work through a tragedy that would have totally derailed him just a few years earlier, he says. Since then, Daniel helped Ellison qualify for SSI—Social Security disability benefits—which allowed him to get his own duplex apartment. Ellison leads a simple life now, and one that he is proud of. He walks a lot, both for exercise and meditation. He picks up medicine for his mom and plays basketball with his grandsons. Talking about his family makes him tear up, and says he’s still not used to being a comfort for his family instead of a constant source

of worry for them. “Every day I wake up, and it gets easier,” he says. “And I feel good.” Legally, Ellison is still on probation and meets monthly with his probation officer. He goes to meetings to stay sober and remain connected to TAC participants and staff. “With Emmanuel’s case, he knew that he had people that he could call and talk to, and that he trusted,” says Daniel. “It really made the difference for him.” Navigating the criminal justice system is tough for anyone, and it’s especially hard for those who struggle with mental health and substance use disorders. Repeat offenders with these burdens often lose hope and feel powerless. “Support groups and skill classes give their power back to them,” Daniel says. Mental health policy advocates say that expanding accountability courts can divert people with mental illness into treatment and rehabilitation and reduce the crowding of jails and prisons. Some critics say the effectiveness of courts like TAC hasn’t been scientifically proven. Zarate is seeking funding so researchers can conduct a formal evaluation of TAC, which she is confident would pave the way for more slots for people like Ellison. Six months ago, the capacity of the program was increased to 50. Ellison considers TAC his family, he credits the program with saving his life, and he wants to help that family grow. “It’s on you if you want to succeed or not,” he says. “They give you that responsibility, and they teach you how to believe in yourself.” f This article is reprinted with permission from georgiahealthnews.com.

WilL ZIka HiT Athens? It’s Not Likely, Thanks to Tiger Mosquitoes By Mark Brown news@flagpole.com

All

preparation and training of soldiers for World War II swept the South, bringing people and goods again from all over the world. The connection between mosquitoes, viruses and fevers that often resulted in chronic disability or death was not known until the turn of the 20th Century. So with the tumult of war, entomologists and physicians began to worry that dengue virus could be brought by infected people from the Americas or Asia as before and spread by the resident yellow fever mosquito. Hygienic methods devised during the construction of the Panama Canal to prevent the spread of yellow fever were implemented that reduced mosquito numbers around military bases and cities, and later extensive use of the insecticide DDT provided a deceptively complete control of mosquitoes. So successful were these efforts that in 1963, federal and state agencies made plans to eradicate the yellow fever mosquito and consequently its threat of virus transmission from the United States. This program never received sufficient funding or interest, so the yellow fever mosquito continued its seasonal nuisance. In the 1980s, a new immigrant, the Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, was transported in tires from

spring and now with the Summer Olympics in Brazil soon to begin, the threat of people or mosquitoes infected with Zika virus coming to Athens or anywhere in the South is leading to considerable speculation and concern about how to prevent the spread of Zika fever, with its fearsome consequences, to pregnant women and other folks. The main culprit involved in the passing of Zika virus among the people of Central and South America is the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti. This mosquito once was a native of Athens and the South, but it lost its residency to a close relative, the Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus. Daytime outside in Athens is spent slapping away tiger mosquitoes. So how is it that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta and other scientists came up with widely published maps showing that the yellow fever mosquito could return this season to its former territory and with it, Zika virus? Mosquitoes were the harpies of summer in the Southern states during the first hundred or so years of their union, secession and reunion. During European colonization, immigrant mosquitoes came in ships laden with goods and terrified people from Africa who were traded around the Americas. But the lethal viruses, protozoans and worms nurtured by mosquitoes were carried in the blood of passengers— the crew and captives that survived to be sold as slaves. The mosquito immigrants disembarked, found suitable habitats along the coast and thrived. The most successful immigrant was the yellow fever mosquito. As the coastal communities grew, so did the coming and going of people and goods, and before long, the females of this mosquito began carrying the yellow Aedes albopictus, also known as the Asian tiger mosquito fever virus in the blood taken southeast Asia to the Texas coast, where it settled. Within from infected people and, within weeks, had passed it to less than a decade, it spread throughout the South and more people, thus instigating deadly epidemics in coastal completely displaced the yellow fever mosquito here, where cities from Philadelphia to New Orleans and even up the it is a remarkably numerous and persistent pest during the Mississippi River valley from the late 1700s to the early day in older neighborhoods. Laboratory studies showed 1900s. The protozoans that caused malaria were spread similarly by the native Anopheles mosquito species, and this this species is capable of transmitting the same viruses and heartworm as the yellow fever mosquito but, to date, wasting disease persisted throughout the South until the it is not the primary vector of Zika or dengue viruses in 1940s. the Americas.

Tips for Managing Mosquitos By Melinda Myers

Don’t let mosquitoes keep you indoors this summer. Instead, employ these eight tips to protect yourself and manage these pests in your yard.

1.

Do a bit of yard and garden clean-up. Remove weeds, manage neglected gardens, and keep the lawn properly mowed to reduce resting spaces for adult mosquitoes.

2.

Eliminate standing water where mosquitoes breed. Drain water that collects in buckets, kids’ toys, tarps, pool covers, clogged gutters and downspouts. Clear the gutters and downspouts so water can drain freely. Store items that tend to collect water in a shed or garage.

3.

Evaluate drainage patterns in your landscape. Improve drainage by amending the soil with organic matter. Install French drains, drain tiles and other drainage systems if needed. Or turn it into a water feature.

4.

Manage water in birdbaths, fountains, ponds and rain barrels. Change water weekly in birdbaths and wading pools. Add a pump to keep water moving and prevent breeding.

5.

Add a fan to your outdoor décor. The gentle breeze keeps these weak flying insects away. Consider taking one to the garden when weeding.

6.

Provide short-term relief when entertaining outdoors with the help of citronella oil or scented candles. Scatter lots of these throughout the area and within a few feet of your guests.

7.

Cover as much of your skin as possible with loose fitting, light colored clothing. Mosquitoes are less attracted to the lighter colors and can’t readily reach your skin through loose clothing.

8.

Further protect yourself from disease-carrying mosquitoes by using a personal repellent. For those looking to avoid DEET, the CDC has also approved products with the active ingredient picaridin, IR3535, and the synthetic oil of lemon and eucalyptus. Avoid products that contain both sunscreen and insect repellents, as you need to apply the sunscreen more often than the repellent.

Doughnuts Downtown Plus, Ice Cream at the Mall and a New Chef at Five & Ten By Hillary Brown food@flagpole.com

painted like the logo, a heavy-lidded red SUGARTOWN: In a lot of ways, Zombie Coffee and Donuts (350 E. Broad St., 706- eye. The staff is young and cheerful, more 850-2526) is a business made for the social- well-scrubbed college kids than grouchy artisanally focused hipsters. And there are media age. The name is cute, the product nice details, like the fact that the iced coffee photographable, the concept easily underis made with coffee ice cubes, meaning it standable and the lines driven by FOMO. doesn’t get diluted as the ice melts. The question is whether the doughnuts and coffee themselves live up to the hype, and… I don’t know if I’m the right person to judge! Other than the basic glazed from Krispy Kreme, I am generally very unimpressed by doughnuts. The ones at Zombie are big and puffy and made fresh right in front of you, cake doughnuts of a pretty light variety (but still no cloud of yeast and sugar). The deal is that you get to pick your toppings and your glaze, using a paper order form sort of like at a sushi bar: strawberry, chocolate, powdered sugar, vanilla, maple, lemon, cinnamon sugar and plain, peanuts, coconut, bacon, M&M’s, Fruity Pebbles, rainbow or chocolate sprinkles, crushed Oreos and pecans. You can go crazy, especially if you are a small child with a sugar habit, and pile on the toppings, but the better move is to simplify and pick one. The flavors are subtler than you might expect, and they show off their charms better when not under a Zombie Coffee and Donuts mound of Fruity Pebbles. Zombie Coffee and Donuts is open There are raw and gluten-free options, Monday–Friday from 7 a.m.–10 p.m. and but they are not doughnuts.

ice cream store in Hull, but thought to yourself, “I don’t know if I’m willing to drive that far, even for excellent ice cream,” you should know that there is also a La Michoacana at the Georgia Square Mall food court. La Michoacana del Tio Tino (3700 Atlanta Hwy., 706-380-9698) is, like the Hull location, part of the same loose association of family-owned businesses of the same name (perhaps part of a small chain with locations in Atlanta and Duluth). It is a little smaller than the Hull version of the same, without the paletas that store makes in a rainbow of colors and flavors, but it does still offer the array of Mexican street food snacks like Dorilocos and chamoyadas. The ice cream is still fresh

and tasty, available in familiar flavors like bubblegum (bright blue, tongue-staining) and chocolate as well as less familiar ones, including many Latin American fruits. It is an excellent addition to the food court, and you can also get a big, delicious agua fresca to quench your thirst.

OLD FAVORITES: Instead of hiring a flashy name, Hugh Acheson has let Michael Farr take the reins at Five & Ten, promoting from within and not making a big to-do about it. So what’s the restaurant like these days? It’s changed a little. I don’t know if the menu is actually shorter or if it just feels that way. There are fewer weird ingredients on display, although still plenty of interesting choices. Ex-chef Jason Zygmont’s compositions were wild but refined displays of color and flavor, with surprises around every turn. Farr’s style is simpler, more straightforward, but he has a fine ability to transcend a description that doesn’t sound very exciting. The lamb-cremini mushroom burger (part of the James Beard Foundation’s Blended Burger project, which recommends combining meat and mushrooms for a healthier and more environmentally sustainable meal) is topped with a slice of beefsteak tomato, Boursin cheese, crinklecut pieces of dill pickle and greens on a potato bun. It’s not a trendy or a sexy sell, but it’s also not deliberately retro. The result, however, is a tasty burger that doesn’t taste of mushrooms but is lighter and far less fatty than the usual made with just lamb. Peach gazpacho, which also includes cucumber, ground pecans, yogurt and wonderful little bursts of pickled blueberries, is not too sweet and shows a great respect for beautiful, seasonal produce. Octopus may be on the menu of every vaguely hip restaurant everywhere, but that is because, prepared correctly, it is meaty and delicious. The braised tentacle here comes with crème fraîche, orange, chives and pretty hot pickled jalapeños, a nice zigzag among bitter, umami, salty and sweet. Old favorites remain on the menu, rotating with the season, but they make up less of it now than they have at other times. Service is still uniformly excellent and desserts on point. f

rushed—the film clocks in at an already too long two hours—The BFG loses some of its magic. A note of sadness also accompanies this sweet children’s film, as it is the final work of screenwriter Melissa Mathison, the former wife of Harrison Ford best known for writing E.T., who died in 2015.

Skarsgård and Robbie make an extremely beautiful Tarzan and Jane, and the movie occasionally soars through the jungle when its titular character is let loose. But the freeflowing Tarzan moments are fewer than the scenes shoving the narrative forward. The filmmakers smartly partner Tarzan with Jackson’s Williams, which tones down the white-man-saving-Africa vibe traditionally given off by this iconic character. Despite the arrangement of some winning pieces, The Legend of Tarzan needs more wildness; simply being more fun than Greystoke is not much of a compliment. THE BFG (PG) Steven Spielberg, whose last family film was 2011’s The Adventures of Tintin, brings Roald Dahl’s popular book to the big screen with the mostly successful results expected from the film titan. Dahl works from the boilerplate of children’s literature with this tale of an orphan, Sophie, who befriends a runt of a giant she calls BFG (Big Friendly Giant).

After an interminable middle sequence where BFG and Sophie hunt dreams, the duo hatches a plot to get rid of the other giants with the help of the Queen of England (Penelope Wilton, Isobel Crawley of “Downton Abbey”).

Nancy Lukasiewicz Retires After 40 Years Beth Sale Takes Over as Lyndon House’s Director of Galleries By Madeline Bates arts@flagpole.com The Lyndon House Arts Center sits atop its perch seemingly lost in time, the tree-crested hilltop forming an illusion of unending greenery. March marked the end of an era for the center when Director of Galleries Nancy Lukasiewicz retired from her longtime position. Over a 40-year career, Lukasiewicz developed hundreds of exhibitions showcasing local culture and history, shaped the lives of thousands of creative children through art camps and classes and secured the long-term sustainability of the center’s public arts programming through tireless grant-writing efforts. As director, Lukasiewicz curated shows featuring active local and regional artists representing the traditional and avant-garde, professional and novice, young and old. Her goal with the Lyndon House was always to give a voice to Athens’ diverse multicultural history, as well as represent the evolving nature of the town. “Our arts scene is very important to the well-being of our community,� Lukasiewicz reflects. “There is such a variety of types of visual art available in our community. I think it is our strength and the unique richness of Athens that we encompass such variety.� Some favorite shows she curated over the years include the biannual exhibition of local schoolchildren’s art, a gallery recreation of Beth Sale mid-century American interiors called “Dancing Fibers of Peacock Alley� in 2007 and “The Children of Mabus and Molpus,� a highly conceptual gallery installation and performance presented by the Rat and Duck Playhouse in 1983. Through the Lyndon House’s annual Juried Exhibition— the major gallery event launched the same year the arts center opened—Lukasiewicz forged connections with the international art world that helped Athens achieve its reputation as an art town to reckon with. She hired many internationally renowned artists and art professionals to serve as jurors and curators, including artist Michael Pistoletto, Guggenheim Director Thomas Messer and Neal Benezra of the Art Institute of Chicago, to name a few. Celia Brooks, the center’s resident art preparator, was hired as Lukasiewicz’s first assistant in 1988. She says the Lyndon House is “unique to the country in terms of [being] an art center of its kind; very few places in the country do

things like the Lyndon House. Ronnie [Lukasiewicz] and Nancy were the inspiration behind it all.� After 40 years at the Lyndon House, Nancy can’t quit cold turkey. She currently volunteers at the art center’s gallery shop one day a week, getting her “LHAC fix on a regular basis,� she says. She also plans to continue to serve on the committee for the annual Lickskillet Artist Market and Festival. Outside the Lyndon House, Nancy will focus on her own art practice, a well-deserved table-turn for someone whose life work has been supporting the artwork of others. Taking over for Lukasiewicz is Beth Sale, who held a similar role as director of the University of North Georgia’s satellite campus galleries since 2009. Between her personal artistic background and her highly interdisciplinary approach to curation, Beth brings to the Lyndon House a fresh, creative energy sure to propel the center through many exciting years to come. “My curatorial philosophy is centered on collaborations and support of individual artistic research,� Sale says. Like so many Athenians, Beth first came to town as a musician, playing drums in a band. That was in 1995, at the height of Elephant 6’s creative collaborations. Beth quickly shifted her focus to visual and performance art, collaborating with experimental group Dixie Blood Moustache while nurturing her own painting practice. Longtime Flagpole readers may remember her contributions to Art Notes, which she wrote from 2004–2009 before shifting into her position at UNG. As gallery director at UNG, Sale collaborated with many non-art groups, such as the biology department, Latino student association and geographic information science faculty “to create thematic exhibits dealing with topics of identity, ecology and place.� One of her favorite collaborative experiences through UNG was the show “No Small Measure: Collaborations between Artists and Poets,� guest curated by Margot Ecke of Smokey Road Press and Ezekiel Black, a poet and English professor at UNG. Beth guided the grant-writing process that made the production of the show’s original content possible. Looking to the future, Sale says, “I hope to build upon the foundation built by Nancy, to be relevant to the diverse community of Athens and to engage everyone with

flagpole’s Favorite Albums of 2016 (So Far) By Music Staff music@flagpole.com

a beating pulse throughout Magnetkingmagnetqueen. Producer and engineer David Barbe keeps frontman Phil McGill’s trademark washed-out yawps and howls firmly intact, but the band discovers its groove when it’s grooving together. The group earns more grit by taking cues from the krautrock tradition, as evidenced by the metallic and metronomic 11-minute “Guay Lo.” There are plenty of adventurous lead guitar tones from Graham Powers throughout, but the thump and pomp of bassist Ben Hackett and drummer Alex Woolley prove to be the driving force of the band’s third full-length. [Dan Mistich]

It

seems impossible, but the first six months of 2016 are behind us. With summer’s swelter having slowed things to a crawl around these parts, we felt it would be a good chance to evaluate the Athens music scene based on its recorded output this year so far. Below, a few of Flagpole’s favorite local releases from 2016’s front half:

Arbor Labor Union

Brother Mary

Immolate! (Independent Release) Singer/producer Ivano Milo’s debut EP under the Brother Mary moniker features five tracks of sad-sack dream-pop with a slight tinge of R&B influence. Though Milo is not exactly a strong vocalist, his lyrics about lost love and attempts to mend that broken bond are strong enough to make up for any shortcomings. In addition to the lyrical content, the production on Immolate! is a highlight. Every song is covered in a distinct haze that accentuates the dreamy, forlorn tone of the EP and transforms Brother Mary from a sad dude singing about being sad into something noteworthy. [Nathan Kerce]

Claire Cronin

Purses

Dorothy Stucki

I Hear You (Sub Pop) Despite a name change, the core of the band formerly known as Pinecones’ identity remains intact on the band’s sophomore album. As primal and ferocious as its debut, with a heavy emphasis on twanginflected guitar and rhythmic groove, I Hear You channels Emerson, Thoreau and Whitman to create an inclusive listening experience. Singer Bo Orr’s voice is more tempered than on Sings For You Now—those titles alone should give listeners an indication that the band’s focus has shifted towards the shared experience—taking on the role of storyteller across engrossing, poetic vignettes. Songs like the chug-a-lugging “Radiant Mountain Road” and the slowburning “Silent Oath” shirk structural changes, favoring repetitive figures that progressively build and find new footing along the way. They’re rides to be taken, ideas to be shared, songs to be heard. [Andy Barton]

Arbor Labor Union full-band work, allowing her literary songwriting and idiosyncratic voice to carry this collection of emotionally hefty songs. The album’s title, taken from a baptismal address in Kurt Vonnegut’s God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater, reflects Lovett’s pivot; her focus has shifted towards a weathered and wise form of reflection. There are traces of whimsy— like the creature checklist on “Monsters (I Am Scared)” and the daydreamy “Old Sedan”—but this is a record to hold close when life’s turns require heavy evaluation, rather than crank up to drown out the noise. Lovett gracefully straddles the line between intimacy and detachment. The album ends with “All Year I Did Nothing But Think of You,” which encapsulates that moment in a relationship when insecurities make way for contentment. After all, babies, you’ve got to be kind.

Meth Wax

Came Down a Storm (Ba Da Bing) New Athens resident Claire Cronin turned many local heads with her first fulllength of all-new material for New York indie Ba Da Bing. The six-track album, a collaboration with Deerhoof guitarist John Dieterich, features poet and songwriter Cronin’s most expressive lyrical work yet, paired perfectly with a rich but understated tapestry of studio sounds courtesy of the inventive Dieterich. As singer-songwriter records go, Came Down a Storm is one of the finest of the year so far—not only locally, but in a much wider context. [Gabe Vodicka]

Meth Wax (Independent Release) Lo-fi garage-punks Meth Wax are sadly calling it quits this summer, with their July 1 appearance at the Caledonia Lounge billed as their local swan song. Fortunately, singer and songwriter Daniel Tanghal has shared a heaping helping of his compositions on Bandcamp since 2013, culminating with the March release of a self-titled digital full-length. The 12-song collection paints a lasting picture of the band’s high-energy punk sound and quirky charm. Standout tracks “Verge of Destruction” and “I Wanna Do Acid and Get a Tattoo” best capture the band’s furious and funny take on sex, drugs and rock and roll. [BM]

Eureka California

Mothers

Versus (HHBTM) The lyrics on Eureka California’s third album display the same brainy wit that’s helped Speedy Ortiz stand out from the indie-rock pack. Guitarist and vocalist Jake Ward punctuates a biting critique on social drinking called “Sober Sister” with an unexpected send-up of Martha and the Vandellas: “Summer’s here and the time is right/ For getting blackout drunk in the street.” Musically, Ward and drummer Marie Uhler rely more on melodic, breakneck garage-pop than indie-folk serenity. These seemingly contradictory influences—heartfelt storytelling and carefree party-punk—fit like a glove on Versus. [Bobby Moore]

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ JULY 6, 2016

When You Walk a Long Distance You Are Tired (Grand Jury) No Athens band has attracted as much outside attention over the past year as Mothers, which released its debut in February to immediate international acclaim. The album documents singer-songwriter Kristine Leschper’s swanlike transformation from unassuming solo folk artist to cool, confident bandleader. Though it feels, in retrospect, like a halfway marker given Mothers’ continued evolution as a four-piece over the past few months—fueled in part by a seemingly endless touring schedule—When You Walk… remains a stunning and sophisticated outing from one of Athens’ most essential groups. [GV]

New Madrid

Magnetkingmagnetqueen (Normaltown) Unlike the airiness found on New Madrid’s earlier output, there’s

Obsess Much (Independent Release) Featuring members of Modern Skirts, Tedo Stone and The District Attorneys, Purses has produced an album’s worth of congenial indie rock infused with a slight Americana influence. Obsess Much is 10 tracks of inoffensive, surprisingly catchy rock tunes. “Hitchhiker” could have torn up the charts on late-’90s alt-rock radio, while it’s not hard to imagine other album highlights, like “Clementine” and “Stella McCartney,” being played on a big festival stage in a few years. While some may not be interested in revisiting this sound, if you’ve missed Modern Skirts over the last three years, Purses is definitely going to scratch that itch. [NK]

Team SS

Sawce (Independent Release) Justin “Loyal” Smith and Keefie “3ft” Johnson released Sawce on New Year’s Day, their second album together as Team SS. The extremely eclectic record finds the two putting on for their city (“Let’s Go”), waxing nostalgic on childhood barbecues (“I Remember”) and praising romantic partners (“Beautiful”) in equal measure, and places them at the front of the Athens hip hop pack. Producers Klubba Lang, Ace Infinity and Esskimo provide the duo with a diverse array of beats, keeping things interesting yet simple enough to keep the focus on each lyricist’s delivery. The sparse “World Drama” allows a line like “Sometimes it’s hard to get/ When you’re never taught to give” and other observations on policing and the Black Lives Matter movement to land with full force. No matter your stylistic leanings—socially conscious or braggadocious; low-key or club-friendly—you’ll find plenty to enjoy with Sawce. [AB]

Vaperror

Acid Arcadia (Plus 100) As Vaperror, prolific electronic producer Jeff Cardinal has released seven projects in just two years. Acid Arcadia indicates a slight shift away from his ambient-infused vaporwave material into something more appropriate for the dance floor. Heavily influenced by juke and other genres of aggressively fast dance music, songs like “Error On the Dancefloor” wouldn’t sound out of place in a Chicago footwork routine. Despite upping the BPM, Cardinal hasn’t abandoned the wistful nostalgia behind his production. Album highlight “Crystal Body” sounds like a TEKLIFE-esque juke-jam remix of the original “Crash Bandicoot” theme. [NK]

Vincas

Deep in the Well (Learning Curve) Noisy three-piece Vincas’ long-awaited second album, Deep In the Well, has furthered Athens’ reputation as a heavy-rock stronghold. The band’s latest vision is a varied one. Most of bassist and lyricist Chris McNeal’s song ideas took shape as swift, abrasive gut punches, such as “Blackout” and “Blood Bleeds.” Psychedelic stoner jam “Death March” slows things down a tad, revealing the complexities of a sound that’s often presented as an adrenaline-fueled blur. Overall, Deep In the Well is the latest sign that Athens’ run as a noise-rock hotbed has only just begun. [BM] f

threats & promises

located at einschlagen.bandcamp.com if you want to give them a listen. But why would you, right? Well, because the instrumental “Not Your Fault� is as close as you’re gonna get to a modern band capturing the textural moodiness of Southern—and, more specifically, Athens—ennui since Love Tractor. And because in less than two minutes “Pizza Face� packs every bit of anxiety, catharsis, anger and resignation into a drivingly tuneful package that demands full volume. The band is made up of Taylor Chicoine, Spencer Grimm and Zach Spires, and the demo was recorded by Chicoine at local house venue Pity Party.

Bye Bye, Meth Wax Plus, More Music News and Gossip By Gordon Lamb threatsandpromises@flagpole.com SEE YA LATER: Athens musician and songwriter Daniel Tanghal played his last Athens show with his project Meth Wax last week. You could go up to Augusta and catch the band with Nihilist Cheerleader on July 11, but we both know you’re not gonna do that. Over the past three years, Tanghal released 11 titles ranging from singles, EPs, and full-length albums, with the latest being the self-titled album Meth Wax this March. Although always pretty much guitar-driven, Meth Wax covered an awful lot of ground within that stricture and delivered a heady mix of psychpop, garage scorchers and weird beatnik-y lo-fi numbers, and was always interesting and creative without following any specific lead. I know I’ll miss this presence on the scene. Tanghal reports his reasons for ending the band are basically that he’s heading into his senior year in college and wants to concentrate on that. He also reports that he might return to music in the future, in which case I’ll just hold out hope. For now, bookmark methwax.bandcamp.com and drink up. DON’T LOOK BACK: An Athens-related songwriters’ workshop will happen in Washington (40 miles east on Highway 78) Saturday, July 9. It takes place at a gorgeously restored 1920s-era building named The Retro, which is located on the same patch of land that once housed the home of Georgia’s first female publisher, Sarah Porter Hillhouse, and a boarding house outside of which then-candidate for the Georgia House of Representatives (and later U.S. Secretary of War, Treasury Secretary and ambassador to France) William H. Crawford killed a political opponent in a

Daniel Tanghal

duel in 1802. So that’s reason enough to go check this place out and grab some vibes. Your other reasons are the performances by Betsy Franck, Caroline Aiken and Daniel Hutchens. The event is BYOB, but food is provided, and it’ll cost ya $15. See washingtonretro.com for more information and directions. NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK: Although they’ve only a twotrack demo under their belt right now, new-ish band Einschlagen (meaning smash, gouge, strike) has taken over the repeat button this past week for me. These songs aren’t even being promoted as an actual release, but they’re

LOOKING UP: Athens rapper Yung Cuz released a new track titled “Came a Long Way� last week. It’s off his upcoming EP Let’s Get It, and comes courtesy of Cuz’s own N-Block Records. It’s a strikingly positive track even as it winds through reflections of regret, and thematically (although not at all musically), it reminds me most of Athens indie-pop songwriter Jianna Justice. And just like the best hardcore punk rejects that genre’s poseur-ish hyper-masculinity, Yung Cuz does this with this track. The beat is slowly paced but a total step up from the generic trap beats that have populated basically everything for the past three years (hat tip to producer Spectro). You can check this and more N-Block stuff over at soundcloud.com/nblock-records. TAKE A BREAK: Creature Comforts and Slingshot will host their next co-promoted Industry Night Monday, July 11. As always, this event is free for restaurant, bar and package sale employees who bring proof of employment and will run from 5–8 p.m. Non-employees can still attend at the regular brewery tour price. Featured live performers this time are Wieuca and Oak House. f

MUSIC | Sat, Jul 9

Georgia Museum of Art · 7 p.m. · FREE! Filmed between 1993–2007, Louise Bourgeois: The Spider, the Mistress and the Tangerine presents an unparalleled view into the life and studio practice of the modern art legend. Illuminating the intentions and inspirations behind some of her most prolific sculptures and installations, the documentary delves into the imagination of the first woman to ever be honored with a major retrospective at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. Held in conjunction with the museum’s exhibition “Paper in Profile: Mixografia and Taller de Gráfica Mexicana,” the film series Artists of Mixografia continues with Kiki Smith: Squatting the Palace and A Brief History of John Badessari on July 14 and Ed Ruscha’s Miracle and Premium on July 21. [Jessica Smith]

Caledonia Lounge · 9:30 p.m. · $5–7 Indie rock trivia buffs know Amy Klein from her time as a multi-instrumentalist in volatile Jersey punk act Titus Andronicus, which she left in 2011, as well as for fronting the psych-pop duo Hilly Eye. Klein is also an accomplished songwriter and poet, and her new solo record, Fire—out last month on Don Giovanni—melds DIY attitude with a softer spirit. Rough around the edges but tender at its core, Fire features 11 tracks of Klein’s rangy, reflective folk-rock. There are hints of Titus’ sprawling bombast, but mostly the album is a platform to showcase Klein’s creative and personal evolution. Surf-pop standouts Outer Sea and new local punk four-piece Awkward Thrust share Thursday’s bill. [Gabe Vodicka]

Georgia Theatre Rooftop · 8:30 p.m. · $5 Many of the bands populating the congested Nashville, TN garage-rock scene seem basically interchangeable, but a solid few have emerged as worthy ambassadors over the past half-decade or so, giving the rest of the country a taste of what Tennessee’s capital is up to these days. The generically named Music Band is one of those groups. The power trio dropped its latest full-length album, Wake Up Laughing, on April Fool’s Day, and the record’s healthy sense of irony reflects its title and release date. But Music Band is no joke; its honest reverence for rock and roll from punk to Petty is evident on thrilling, three-minute tunes like “Green Lights.” Another Music City standout, Faux Ferocious, opens Saturday’s show.

A lifelong artist and educator, Polk taught thousands of students at UGA’s Lamar Dodd School of Art as a professor of art history for 30 years, shaping the department profoundly as area chair for over a decade. Polk’s exhibition, which focuses on works made during retirement, will remain on view in the garden’s visitor center through Saturday, Aug. 13. [JS]

Joe (Boxer) and Frazier (white Spitz mix) are very well-behaved adults who came in together. Joe is gentle, quiet, possibly the best dog I’ve ever walked on a leash, and he leans gently against you when you pet him.

FRAZIER

CARLY Frazier is livelier, but very good and he has a beautiful blonde coat. Both weigh just under 50 pounds and are very friendly. Can be adopted together or separately. Above is sweet Carly, an affectionate, young black cat. She greeted me with a tail wave and happy rubbing against her kennel. She has some fur loss due to her previous hard life as a stray, but her hair is coming back in nicely and she is now vetted and spayed.

hey, bonita…

Help! My Boyfriend’s Trump-Neutral Advice for Athens’ Loose and Lovelorn By Bonita Applebum advice@flagpole.com Dear Bonita, I just started dating a guy who is super cool in every way except one: He doesn’t hate Donald Trump. He doesn’t love him or anything, but he doesn’t hate the guy or understand why everyone should. He’s just sort of ambivalent about him, and politics in general. Why does this make me so uncomfortable?

probably thinks black people can be racist. He might find minorities to be whiny, and he may very well believe in “men’s rights.” Listen closely to this guy, and watch him for more signs of being a shitty human being. Unless the sex is great, I’d honestly recommend that you just go ahead and dump him today. Why waste your time if he’s not even laying good pipe?

Because Donald Trump is a sheltered I went on a couple of dates with someone at rich guy with no political experience who is the end of last year, and it went OK. It fizzled running for president. Some people think out pretty quickly, but we ended it on what Trump is the actual Antichrist. He literally I thought were good terms. We were already embodies all of the things that are wrong with the 1 percent: unearned affluence, self- casual acquaintances and saw each other at lots of bars and shows, so I figured everything importance, ignorance to the real human would just go back to experience, the desire after all was said to enslave or control Trump is the problem, normal and done. other humans, the idea pretty much, and your Then, a few months that his ability to run ago, I realized I was seea business somehow boyfriend is just kinda ‘meh’ ing her a lot more often makes him qualified to over his existence. than I had in the past. control the lives of the Basically, at every show I masses. attend she’s there, and lately she pretty much Trump is the problem, pretty much, and only drinks at this one bar that we both love. your boyfriend is just kinda “meh” over his Half the time she’s not even with anyone, but existence and his bid for the White House. just sitting alone looking at her phone and This bothers you, and it damn well should. barely talking to anyone, even me. I’m gonna guess that your boyfriend I’m pretty sure I have a stalker, but she’s is some too-cool hipster or grad student, never followed me home or anything like that. because I can only imagine that kind of She’s become a permanent background fixture guy being ambivalent about a presidential of my social life, and I don’t understand why. I candidate who wants to build a wall around really thought everything ended well between the country, deport Muslims and destroy us and it was a mutual breakup, though I did the First Amendment. Why should he care? mention splitting up first. I’m starting to get uncomfortable with this, and I’m not sure how to address it.

“

He probably doesn’t have any Muslim or brown-skinned friends anyway—and I’m not talking about some coworker he sees five times a week, but a person he’d help install a dishwasher or eat pizza with at home on a Tuesday. You know, a real friend. You’re uncomfortable because your boo is showing you that he’s not part of the global community, and that he doesn’t actually care about other people in the broadest sense. I doubt he’d ever use a racial slur or call you a bitch to your face, but he also

I probably wouldn’t call her a stalker just yet, because she hasn’t followed you home, as you say, and you also don’t mention that she’s calling or texting you. I doubt the breakup was actually mutual. She probably just agreed with you in order to protect herself and her feelings. Her crush on you is obviously still there, but she’s trying to save face by acting like she’s cool with not dating. She just wants to be around you but doesn’t want to talk to you, and I think she’ll get over her crush. Don’t take yourself so seriously, pal— she’s no threat to you. Now, if she starts following you home or showing up at your workplace, that’s a problem. But for now, get used to being around a chick you rejected. It’s a small town. f Need advice?
