A divided BOE voted Oct. 13 to open up meetings of that committee so board members can attend. (The media and the public, too, although let’s be real—ain’t nobody gonna want to go to those.)

Joshua L. Jones

While the presidential election and, at least lately, the Opportunity School District constitutional amendment (see p. 6) have dominated the local political conversation, there’s another important item on the Nov. 8 ballot: The Clarke County School District is proposing an extension of a 1 percent sales tax for education.

The current round of E-SPLOST paid for a new Whitehead Road Elementary; renovations and additions at Clarke Central High School and Barrow, Stroud, Barnett Shoals and Whit Davis elementary schools; new school buses and cameras on buses; and technology upgrades throughout the district.

If it’s approved, the latest E-SPLOST is expected to raise $112 million over five years. That money would be used to renovate and expand Oglethorpe Avenue Elementary—“our most shovel-ready project,” SPLOST Director John Gilbreath told school board members last week—renovate the county’s four middle schools and Cedar Shoals High School, buy more buses, fund further technology upgrades and build additions onto schools that are over capacity. CCSD enrollment has been growing a little over 1 percent per year, but growth exploded this year with about 600 additional students, bringing total enrollment to 13,700, Gilbreath said.

The tax would also fund the controversial renovation of the vacant West Broad School for district administration offices, which could displace the popular community garden and farmers market there, but that project has been pushed back several years as CCSD officials collaborate with the Athens-Clarke County government, Athens Housing Authority, Athens Land Trust and neighborhood residents on a master plan for the West Broad/Rocksprings/Hancock Corridor community.

vote. “Being involved from the beginning to the end is critical,” Ellis said, calling the hiring of a superintendent the board’s most important duty.

Linda Davis and board President Charles Worthy opposed the motion. Worthy called it “unethical” for the board to be involved, while Davis questioned whether the board should be involved at such an early stage.

“All we’re doing is picking the engine that drives the train,” she said.

“We’re all dealing with the same emotions and frustrations, but we’ve got to keep our eye on the ball and what we need to do Nov. 8,” Williams said.

At least one Athens Republican, though, declined an opportunity to reaffirm even qualified support for Trump. “My vote is earned, and I’m voting on Election Day,” state Rep. Regina Quick told Flagpole. When asked whom she’d vote for, Quick said, “I’ll tell you when I leave the polling place. I don’t know. The situation is fluid on that.”

Early Voting: It’s underway at the ACC Board of Elections office and runs through Nov. 4, the Friday before Election Day. The office, at 155 E. Washington St., is open from 8 a.m.–5 p.m on weekdays, as well as 9 a.m.–4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29. In addition, the board has added a few other early-voting locations this year: City Hall (8 a.m.–5 p.m. weekdays from Oct. 24–Nov. 4), the ACC Library on Baxter Street (10 a.m.–6 p.m. Oct. 31–Nov. 3 and 10 a.m.–5 p.m. Nov. 4) and the Tate Student Center (8 a.m.–5 p.m. Nov. 1 and 2).

Other Stuff: Speaking of SPLOST (and acronyms), ACC has an online form at athensclarkecounty.com/tsplost that citizens can use to propose projects to fund with a 1 percent sales tax for transportation (T-SPLOST) that will be on the ballot next May. If you want that sidewalk or bike lane, get on it. U-Lead Athens—a group that helps undocumented immigrants who are barred from attending UGA apply for financial aid to other colleges—recently received a $35,000 grant from Educators for Fair Consideration. The Athens Citizens Climate Lobby and the Georgia Climate Change Coalition are hosting a town hall meeting on climate change from 6:30– 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 20 at the ACC Library. The Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement is redoubling efforts to convince downtown businesses to place stickers in their windows proclaiming they don’t discriminate. f

Experience Doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Matter Connections Are All That Count in Georgia Politics

By Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com If you learned you had cancer, what would you do? You wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a plumber or an insurance adjuster. You would see an oncologist who knows what they are doing.

If you were charged with a serious criminal offense that might mean jail time, what would you do? You wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hire an insurance salesman or a short order cook.

You would hire someone who is licensed to practice law.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what people do in the real world, anyway. In the world of Georgia politics, experience and professional credentials often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean much of anything.

For example, the Board of Regents appointed Attorney General Sam Olens as the new president of Kennesaw State University. Olens has been a county commissioner and the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest legal officer, but he has never held any type of administrative position at any campus.

In appointing Olens, the Regents violated several of their own longstanding policies. In other cases where a college needs a president, the Regents appoint a search committee that spends several weeks interviewing and assessing candidates from across the country. The search committee typically forwards the names of three finalists to the board, whose members then vote on the one they want for the job. None of that was done in this instance: Olens was the only name considered.

That did not sit well with either the faculty or the students at Kennesaw State.

They held campus protests and gathered thousands of petition signatures urging the Regents to conduct a nationwide search.

Students and faculty also objected to Olensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; actions as attorney general, where he opposed same-sex marriage and tried to keep transgender students out of public bathrooms. There are some LGBT students

at KSU who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think their own president should be discriminating against them.

When asked why a person with so few qualifications for the job was being picked, the best that Chancellor Hank Huckaby could come up with was this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;He knows Cobb County so well, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a very dedicated citizen of this community.â&#x20AC;?

The real reasons for Olensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; appointment became clear a few minutes after the Regents confirmed him as the new president. Gov. Nathan Dealâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;who appoints all the members of the Board of Regentsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; announced the appointment of Chris Carr, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic development commissioner, as the new attorney general.

The title of Carrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new job implies that the person is at least a practicing attorney.

The Georgia Constitution also has something to say about this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;No person shall be Attorney General unless such person shall have been an active status member of the State Bar of Georgia for seven years.â&#x20AC;?

Until the day before his appointment was announced, Carr had been on inactive status with the State Bar and hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t practiced law since 2007. During that long-ago period when he did practice law, Carr never saw the inside of a courtroom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never tried a case,â&#x20AC;? he admitted in response to a reporterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s question. But not to worry, Deal assured everybody. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We checked with the State Bar,â&#x20AC;? the governor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The State Bar verified that he did [meet the constitutional requirement].â&#x20AC;?

Carr may not be up to date on the practice of law, but he meets two very important qualifications: He was a loyal Deal department head and was chief of staff to Sen. Johnny Isakson. In the world of politics, things like experience and education and ability donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count for very much.

Connections are really all that matter. f

Opportunity or Occupation?

In Athens, Opposition Builds to Creating a New Statewide School District

By Carolyn Crist news@flagpole.com

A

Schools considered “chronically failing” scored below 60 on the Georgia Department of Education accountability measure in 2013, 2014 and 2015.

“They’ll take Gaines Elementary, and we’ll have to pay for it,” Lanoue said at the Chamber of Commerce presentation. “We’ll maintain the building and still provide transportation, yet they bring in new faculty and staff, and we have to figure out where our current people go.”

State Rep. Regina Quick (R-Athens) said that the ballot measure won’t affect Athens because she expects Gaines’ College and Career Readiness Performance Index score to rise. “I don’t think we’ve got chronically failing schools” in Athens; the measure is primarily aimed at schools in metro Atlanta, Augusta and Albany, she said.

The amendment was modeled after the Recovery School District in Louisiana and the Achievement School District in Tennessee. Georgia officials in support of the amendment say Louisiana and Tennessee schools have seen “drastic increases in school attendance, graduation rates and college enrollments.” At the same time, recent news reports

Professional Association of Georgia Educators and Georgia School Superintendents Association.

Athens’ representatives are split as well. Sens. Bill Cowsert (R-Athens) and Frank Ginn (R-Danielsville) voted in favor of the amendment twice. Quick and Rep. Chuck Williams (R-Watkinsville) voted against SB 133, the enabling legislation, but voted in favor of Senate Resolution 287, which put the issue on the ballot. Rep. Spencer Frye missed the SB 133 vote because of a family emergency but voted against SR 287 and announced his opposition in January.

thens parents Carla and John Braswell want the best education for their daughter, Addie, a firstgrader at Whitehead Road Elementary School.

New to the Clarke County School District, they want to be involved at Addie’s school and be informed as she progresses toward second grade.

When they heard about the Opportunity School District amendment on the ballot in November, they weren’t exactly sure what the change would mean for their daughter or her school. The couple decided to learn more before going to the polls in a few weeks. “I’m new at this. I wanted to get involved and learn the legislative language,” said Carla Braswell, a local insurance agent. The Braswells attended a Chamber of Commerce meeting in October that Several Athens-area groups have held meetings this fall discussed what Amendment 1 would mean for Georgia to discuss Amendment 1 in public with voters.

Where It Came From

6

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 19, 2016

What It Would Do

The proposed amendment seems appropriate to some Athens parents who are eager to see change happen now.

Jim Geiser, a local parent who ran a charter school in Baton Rouge under Louisiana’s Recovery School District, said he’ll vote in favor of Amendment 1.

“I’m hopeful it’ll force Athens to be more creative, and that it’ll bring in a new group of people with new ideas and a new spirit,” he said. “In Louisiana, we were able to do things that regular public schools couldn’t do, and it changed the way we thought about public education.”

At the same time, too much change could negatively affect recruitment and retention of teachers and staff, said Tommy Valentine, who attended local public schools and whose wife, Laura, teaches at Chase Street Elementary School. “I’ve seen what it’s like when this district is treated like a petri dish with new bus services and scheduling,” he said. “It makes it harder for people on the front lines. We need to understand the stakes here.”

In the end, many community members want to focus on local involvement and control, said Paul DeLargy, former principal of Barnett Shoals Elementary School and director of Real LEDGE, an entrepreneur education nonprofit.

Whatever the next model is in Athens, he wants open and transparent governance that encourages parents and community members to get involved.

“Nobody knows the schools like the community itself,” said Shirley Evans, vice president of the ACC Federation of Neighborhoods. “In Athens, every kid gets free lunch or breakfast. I’d hate to see an Atlanta person take over and say we don’t need that anymore.”

If the amendment passes in November, the legislation will go into effect on Jan. 1. But don’t expect the battle to stop there. Several Atlanta educators are already preparing to launch a lawsuit if it passes, said CCSD board member Ovita Thornton. “Education is big money, y’all,” she said.

“People have realized this now, but sadly, it has nothing to do with the kids.”

For many opponents, the amendment change is Georgia’s latest step in the conversation about education privatization. State legislators have already created limited voucher programs, and a charter-school amendment passed in 2012. This year’s amendment could pave the way for future privatization talks.

“Under this model, states run schools like businesses, but we’re not dealing with products. We’re dealing with people,” said Briana Bivens of Keep Georgia Schools Local.

“You can’t toss the bad apple off the shelf.”

For Carla Braswell, the choice is becoming clearer for Nov. 8. “Under this, where does the community have say-so? There’s no transparency,” she said. “Of all the vague information out there, there’s no answer to the real question—how will this benefit our children?” f

Here’s what the others would do, in a nutshell. For more information, see Tom Crawford’s Capitol Impact column in the Sept. 28 and Oct. 5 issues or in the flagpole.com archives.

Amendment 2: Would create a special fund to pay for the housing, counseling and treatment of sextrafficking victims using fines levied against those convicted of sexual exploitation and new taxes on strip clubs. A noble cause, but some question why strip clubs should pay for it.

Maybe Kirby’s Not So Smart Did Georgia Hire the Next Nick Saban or the Next Will Muschamp?

by Cy Brown news@flagpole.com tailback—into the halfback position. Mason saw the strange formation and called a timeout. At this point, most coaches would think Vanderbilt saw what UGA was trying to do, and decide to run a different play.

But the Bulldogs came back to the line with Chubb at fullback and McKenzie at tailback.

And wouldn’t you know, the Vanderbilt defense read it like a book. Smart and Chaney tried to be clever once again and it bit them, and all Georgia fans, in the ass.

Point Mason. Win Vanderbilt.

That wasn’t the most concerning thing, though. More concerning was the team’s seeming indifference to everything happening in the game. The players never looked ready. Like they’ve done so many times this year, they played down to the competition.

And that falls heavily on Smart’s shoulders.

Steven Colquitt / UGA Athletic Association

“Kirby Dumb” is the most childish, cheesy, flat-out bad nickname I’ve heard in a long time. Unfortunately it seems to fit UGA head coach Kirby Smart to a T. The Bulldogs suffered a 17-16 upset at the hands of Vanderbilt (VANDERBILT!) last Saturday in Athens, and I’m not mad at all. OK, I’m really mad. It was the worst Georgia loss I’ve seen in years. And while the players played far from their best, this loss—like the narrow escape against Nicholls State and losses to Ole Miss and Tennessee—falls on Smart because of his questionable decisions and his team’s penchant for playing down to competition.

Smart was out-coached by Vandy head man Derek Mason. Let that sink in for a moment. Mason, who won his first SEC road game last Saturday, has been the

Derp.

laughingstock of the SEC since taking over for James Franklin, and Kirby and offensive coordinator Jim Chaney made him look like a genius. Twice in the fourth quarter, Mason called a timeout that made Smart and Chaney rethink their approach.

Ultimately, that led to the loss.

The first timeout came with six minutes left in the fourth quarter. Down one, Georgia had 4th-and-8 on the Vandy 41, and Smart kept his offense on the field ready to go for it. At the time, he sensed, along with everyone watching the game, that the Dawgs would have few more chances to get that close, because we barely got that close all afternoon, and he brought the offense onto the field. Mason called timeout, which was enough to make Smart overthink his decision, so he decided to punt the game away. Point Mason.

The second timeout came on the next Georgia drive. Time was running out, and Georgia had to get in field goal range. The Dawgs got to 4th-and-1 back at the Vandy 41 with just a minute to go. Nick Chubb had struggled all afternoon, rushing for only 40 yards, but when push comes to shove, you give the ball to your best player, right?

Wrong. Georgia lined Chubb up at fullback and ran Isaiah McKenzie—not a

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 19, 2016

Aside from a 95-yard return that led to an early Vandy TD and the stops in the fourth quarter, Georgia was the better team. The talent gap was clear to anyone who watched. Smart didn’t have his team ready to play, and Mason did. Being underprepared for a game once in a blue moon is expected, even of the best teams. But under Kirby, it’s been consistent. Not once this season has Georgia come out of the gates amped and ready to get after the opponent.

I’m still glad Mark Richt is gone, because I think we’d be in close to the same boat if he were coach. But Smart’s deficiencies lead me to the argument that major programs should never hire assistants. You have no idea what you’re going to get. Many times, a guy is great at coaching a position or unit but has no clue how to run a program. If I had my druthers, Justin Fuentes, Gary Patterson or Tom Herman would be coaching UGA—guys with a record of success.

Kirby has the pedigree to be a good coach. He has time to learn from his mistakes. Next season will be a better barometer. But his boneheaded decisions and lack of preparedness has me worried, and I’m afraid my biggest fear may be true: Instead of hiring the next Nick Saban, we hired the next Will Muschamp. f

NIGHTLY

Tracy Adkins Writes the Definitive Biography of Athens Ghosts

by Kat Khoury news@flagpole.com

E

very city has that holiday it does best: Mardi Gras in New Orleans, New Year’s in New York, Halloween in Athens.

Yet for all the wild rumpus-ing we do, is Athens spooky enough to warrant our fervor for the sinister? Tracy Adkins, author of Ghosts of Athens: History and Haunting of Athens, GA, thinks so, and she’s compiled all the creepy tales of the Classic City into a historically rich collection of stories ranging from mysterious to downright hair-raising.

Adkins, a Florida native, moved to Athens in 1990 to attend the University of Georgia and wound up staying in Athens for 25 years. Although she recently relocated to Asheville, NC to be closer to family, she still has a place in her heart for Athens.

The soon-to-be 46-year-old, whose birthday falls just three days short of Halloween, has an odd traveling tradition. In each place she visits, she seeks out a local bookstore to

purchase a book of ghost stories from that area. While compiling a collection of creepy tales from other places, she wanted one from her own home. “It never appeared,” she says, “so I ended up having to write it!”

Reading on the subject turned out to be a lot different than writing about it, she says, “It was so much fun for me, and I love to sit down and read these ghost stories, but it’s an entirely different experience to actually sit down with these people and talk to them one-on-one about their experiences and what they had seen,” she says. “That was really a lot of fun for me.”

The two-year process resulted in a 284page book chronicling local eerie folklore.

Adkins says she worked with several archivists at UGA’s Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library during her research,

and that they expressed gratitude that someone is documenting these local stories.

It might seem like a daunting task for one woman to locate and reach out to all the people who know something about the supernatural in Athens, but Adkins says a snowball effect happened once she got started, and people were “really enthusiastic and helpful.”

In the beginning of the book, she sends a clear message to readers: “My intention isn’t to convince anyone or change anyone’s mind,” she explains about the book’s introduction. “It’s really about storytelling.”

And the stories are told with chilling effect. A few tales you might encounter include the tragic end of a romance that still haunts the “wedding cake house” on the corner of Baxter Street and Milledge Avenue, the stairway to nowhere that’s actually to somewhere quite creepy, swinging chandeliers, spontaneous fires, mysterious singing and more.

Adkins says her favorite types of stories are the ones where the same thing happens to numerous people over time. As an example, she points to the story of the Ware-Lyndon House, where an expectant father killed by a carriage on the night of his child’s birth can still be spotted, pacing the house, looking at his pocket watch.

“Another one that really freaks me out is a story at Memorial Park,” says Adkins, “where something unseen speaks to one of the employees and calls them by name. And that really makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.”

Each section—the University of Georgia, Historic Athens, Around Athens and Nearby Neighborhoods and Small Spooks—has a handful of tales that will leave you wanting to visit the places mentioned and try to lure out the old man in overalls and the spectral children in the Morton Theatre, or find Capt. Peeler in Firehouse 1, blowing smoke in people’s eyes and rattling chains.

Although she didn’t have to break the news to anyone that their house was haunted, she says, “It’s definitely an odd thing to have this person on your doorstep asking about ghosts.”

The book is available at the Athens Welcome Center, Avid Bookshop, The Clubhouse and Front Porch Bookstore in Winterville, and in both paperback and Kindle form through Amazon. Adkins will be signing copies on Oct. 27 at 4:30 p.m. at the Athens Welcome Center, in conjunction with the Ghost Walk, and Oct. 29 at the Front Porch Bookstore. f

The 39 Steps, A Raisin in the Sun and More New Productions from Student and Community Groups

By Dina Canup arts@flagpole.com The 39 Steps: UGA’s Thalian-Blackfriars, the oldest theatrical group in town (established in 1893), is presenting Patrick Barlow’s hilarious adaptation of Alfred Hitchock’s classic film adaptation of the John Muchan novel. It’s a mystery thriller with a strong dose of complete silliness as four actors (Riley Carlson, Madison Smith, Bradley Burnham and Taylor Bahin) play every character from the original movie. If you missed it five years ago when University Theatre did it, here’s your chance to rectify your mistake, because that one was hysterically funny and this one features some of UGA’s most hilarious student actors under the direction of Bryce Benson, one of their most experienced student directors. It’s in the Cellar Theatre of the Fine Arts Building Tuesday, Oct. 18 and Wednesday Oct. 19 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 at the door.

For more information, visit ugathalian. wixsite.com/blackfriars.

Lady Macbeth, it is a fun group of talented, theatricallyinclined mostly-not-drunkards. It’s on Saturday, Oct. 22 at 9 p.m. Tickets are $8 if you want a seat and $5 for standing room only. Ages 18 and up are allowed, but you must be 21 to participate in the booziness.

Nightfall: Rose of Athens Theatre presents Nightfall with Edgar Allan Poe by Eric Coble. The production adapts four of his most chilling tales: The Raven, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Pit & the Pendulum and The Tale-Tell Heart. The performance is part of Poe-tober, a month-long series of events supported by a “Big Read” grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. One night only, it’s at SeneyStovall Chapel on Saturday, Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. Tickets are

story involving a group of people, all LGBTQ, stranded during the 1988 Yellowstone forest fire. Director Ellen Everitt says it could be called a tragicomedy, or else “‘Stranger Things’ meets the cast of ‘Friends’” since it’s a comedy “with heart,” twists and a bit of a thriller. She also calls it “a Chekhov play in the woods,” and they’re creating a woodsy campsite feel for the audience by bringing in camping chairs and sleeping bags for seating (you can also bring your own gear). It will be held on Thursday, Oct. 27 at 6 p.m., and tickets are $3 at the door. For the location announcement, visit classiccityfringefestival.com.

Friendly’s Fire: This workshop production (fully staged but with minimal set and costumes) presented by the Athens Playwright’s Workshop and the Department of Theatre and Film Studies expands on this summer’s staged reading of the new play by UGA professor/notable playwright John Patrick Bray. It’s the other full-length play featured in Classic City Fringe Festival, directed by Dina Canup (yes, that would be me), and with half of the actors returning to reprise their roles from the reading. Guy Friendly (Scotty Gannon) is a bee-keeping, helicopter-piloting veteran of the first Gulf War who has ventured out after being holed up in his Alaskan cabin following the death of his brother in the war (Jordan Richards) and being left by his wife (April Boyer Brown). He makes a bad call and brings home the wrong woman (Melanie Sheehan), but fortunately his best friend Todd (Fred Galyean) finds him bleeding on the floor and rides along with Friendly’s involuntary, drug-induced visions. There’s a talking polar bear (Tom Von Dohlen), a guy who comes out of the toilet, cowboy bees… and things get really weird, poignant, funny, heartbreaking and human. It’s one night only, so you have one chance to catch it in the Cellar Theatre of the Fine Arts Building on Thursday, Oct. 27 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $5 and available at the door. Visit drama.uga.edu for more information. The Classic City Fringe Festival also features one-person short plays by/featuring Marlon Burnley, Bridgette Burton and Steven Grainger, so check out the full lineup at classiccityfringefestival.com.

A Raisin in the Sun: UGA Black Theatrical Ensemble’s fall show is a 1959 American classic by Lorraine Hansberry. It centers around a poor Chicago family (Aciana Head, Alicia Hampton, Alexis Allen, Russell Scott and Deja Pruitt) in conflict over how to use a $10,000 life insurance check. They run into opposition when they plan to buy a house in a white neighborhood but also face their own inter-family disagreements that reflect their differences regarding how to coexist with their white, hostile, would-be neighbors—and their own individual dreams. Director Anthony Nash finds the play to be relevant today, when issues are often viewed in a dualistic way (white vs. black, for example). He says the discussions are important but “intra-racial relationships—what does it mean to be intellectual, Gary T. Moore, Cindy Nason, Ginny Simmons and Helen DeMott perform in Rose of Athens’ production of Nightfall Two Can Play: Directed by a favorite UGA faculty emeritus, Freda Scott Giles, for entrepreneurial, to advance in the world we with Edgar Allan Poe.

Halloween Is Already Here Spooky Artwork, Films, Tours and Burlesque

By Jessica Smith arts@flagpole.com Halloween is essentially a month-long holiday in Athens, made adorably evident by the recent Boo-le-Bark costumed dog parade, as well as the “Big Read”-funded Poe-tober series of events. In addition to the Wild Rumpus Parade, Classic City Fringe Festival and multitude of cover bands that will take over venues during Halloween weekend, here are a handful of ways to get in the spirit early for the most wonderful time of the year.

With only his best pal Leo (Thomas Barbusca), his crush Jeanne (Isabela Moner) and cool teacher (Pally) to support him, Rafe uses his artistic abilities to wreak havoc on his school in the weeks leading up to the big standardized test.

Some inspired animated sequences breathe enough life into Middle School to set it apart, but it is hard to see how this movie escaped a TV or VOD release. f

Blurred Lines Mike Mills and Robert McDuffie Blend Rock and Classical

By Michelle Davis music@flagpole.com

In

Energized and inspired by that projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success, McDuffie set his sights on collaborating with his old friend.

In 2014, over dinner at The National, he pitched his idea to Mills and R.E.M. advisor Bertis Downs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;Ś threw out this crazy idea about writing a concerto for violin, rock band and orchestra,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was scared, because I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what his reaction would be.â&#x20AC;?

the heart of Georgia, about 90 miles south of Athens, lies Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other music city. Macon is rich with artistic history, having spawned such legendary musicians as Otis Redding, Little Richard and The Allman Brothers. It is in this creative hotbed that two musical families, the Mills and the McDuffies, formed a lifelong bond.

The Mills family, transplants from California, wanted to ensure a musical education for their son. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My parents chose the church that we went to in Macon based on the music program,â&#x20AC;? says songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mike Mills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bobby [McDuffie]â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother was the music director, and they thought she was the best they could find down there.â&#x20AC;?

As adolescents, Mills and Robert McDuffie became fast friends while performing in the choir at church. After services, the Mills family would head over to the McDuffie house to socialize. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every Sunday night for many years, I felt like we were all McDuffies for a day,â&#x20AC;? says Mills.

After high school, Mills and McDuffie parted ways. Mills went to UGA, where he and fellow Maconite Bill Berry would famously form R.E.M with Michael Stipe and Peter Buck.

Mike Mills and Robert McDuffie McDuffie was off to Julliard, and At the time of the proposal, Mills was at a crossroads. on to become a Grammy-nominated violin virtuoso. But After 31 years, R.E.M. had amicably parted ways, and Mills their mutual admiration only strengthened with time. had to decide whether he wanted to retire or continue makâ&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been really proud of him,â&#x20AC;? says McDuffie. ing music. The former was never really an option. Mills â&#x20AC;&#x153;I consider Mike Mills one of the greatest living American already had a melody in his head that he thought would be composers.â&#x20AC;? Confirms Mills, â&#x20AC;&#x153;[We] became big fans of each perfect for the project, and the chance to collaborate with otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musical careers.â&#x20AC;? his dear friend was too good to pass up.

But McDuffie crowd will be classical fans, I assume, and they have some is in the habit of defying expectations. pretty exacting standards,â&#x20AC;? says Mills. On the flip side, Mills â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for me to keep experiencing new ways acknowledges that rock and pop fans may feel intimidated of making music,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always wanted to reach out by classical music. to living American composers, instead of playing the same â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are scared of classical music, because they are pieces over and over again by dead, white European males.â&#x20AC;? afraid they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand it and others around them To this end, he commissioned Philip Glass to compose â&#x20AC;&#x153;The will,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You never want to be the person who starts American Four Seasons,â&#x20AC;? which debuted to rave reviews in clapping before the piece is over.

with only silence between them is intimidating, because when you go to a [rock] show, you play a song, you clap, you yell, you get a drink and then you play another song. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping to break that down.â&#x20AC;?

McDuffie encouraged Mills to inject some â&#x20AC;&#x153;R.E.M. DNAâ&#x20AC;? into the work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted a kickass opening, much like what they did with the Accelerate album,â&#x20AC;? says McDuffie.

That intro segues into a movement that should be instantly recognizable to R.E.M. fans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Shostakovich could steal from himself, I asked Mike if he could just include â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nightswimmingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as one of the movements,â&#x20AC;? says McDuffie with a laugh.

McDuffie says this concerto is unique in its execution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There areâ&#x20AC;Ś shows where orchestras like the London Symphony will back up an established group like Pink Floyd,â&#x20AC;? says McDuffie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a more deferential role on the classical musicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part. Here, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the trenches together. Nobody is backing anyone up.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be stuffy,â&#x20AC;?

Mills stresses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan to wear a tuxedo. It should be more fun than a classical concertâ&#x20AC;Ś because this is not a classical piece. It is a hybrid of classical and rock and roll. I want it to have the good parts of both, and, hopefully, the bad parts of neither.â&#x20AC;?

Rehearsal footage reveals an exhilarating performance underscored by rich piano textures, McDuffieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiery bowing and propulsive rock rhythms. One adventurous movement makes way for a more romantic progression, with both Mills and McDuffieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s undeniable gifts taking the spotlight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just an honest and sincere project, on both of our parts,â&#x20AC;? says McDuffie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We admire each other and also each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worlds, and I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll come through.â&#x20AC;? f

Americana Dream

DJ Variant Collabs With Clerks

Mandolin Orange Wants to Make Folk Great Again

Plus, More Music News and Gossip

By Marc Schultz music@flagpole.com

By Gordon Lamb threatsandpromises@flagpole.com

E

mily Frantz and Andrew Marlin have been performing together as Mandolin Orange since 2009, after they met at a performance by Big Fat Gap, a fixture of the North Carolina music scene with a revolving lineup and a passionate following. Bonding over their love of Americana music, Frantz and Marlin decided to join forces and see where they could take the traditional sounds they know and love as partners.

“We tend to stick with a folky Americana vibe, partially because of the instruments we play, but we love the freedom to take songs in any sort of direction,” vocalist and mandolinist Frantz says from the group’s home base in Chapel Hill, NC. “We like the freedom of being a songwriter-oriented project. We definitely went through a rockband phase, and a phase where we only wanted to record and play as a duo. Now we feel like it’s time to branch out and bring more people in.”

There’s lots of room to get into the groove and allow things to ebb and flow on a nightby-night basis.”

Frantz is excited for Mandolin Orange’s return to Athens, calling it a kind of sister city to Chapel Hill, and one of the more welcoming stops on the band’s early tours.

“The Foundry was one of the venues that was willing to respond to my emails back when we had no agent and were booking ourselves,” says Frantz. “So we have a real soft spot for that place.”

With melodies on both sides of the divides between sweet and sour, breezy and urgent and wistful and grounded, the band’s catalog is ideal for both driving around town and through open countryside; tracks from the new album fall squarely in the toe-tapping territory of past efforts. The immediate difference is a richer and more confident sound, but pay attention to the lyrics and you’ll discover a greater awareness of national currents and

Wub-A-Dub-Dub: Athens-based DJ Variant (aka Chris Thompson) and Atlanta bass artist Clerks (aka Dan Brown) released a collaborative EP titled Neva in September via Cleveland’s Sure State Records. The pair work together on the title track, and each contributes one additional solo track.

Clerks’ “Past Away” is a dark, moody exploration into deep, abandoned urban vibes, while Variant’s “Scratch” is both a tribute to and continuation of classic deep bass and original-era dubstep. Variant is creative when he could very easily be lazy. That is, rather than just have perfect horn samples and defiantly accurate wobble bass, he guides the track through a birthing process

information on the trust itself and the foundryathens.com to purchase tickets.

Their Back Pages: Psych-art powerhouse Orange Twin just uploaded a bunch of records for streaming and digital purchase to its page at orangetwinrecords.bandcamp.com. As far as I can tell, this group constitutes either everything or most of everything the label has ever released, dating all the way back to co-head Andrew Reiger’s “holy grail” discovery Elyse by Elyse Weinberg. Other records include forgottenbut-ready-to-be-remembered records by Zumm Zumm, The Gerbils, Geoff Reacher, The Good Ship, Great Lakes, The Late B.P.

For their new album, Blindfaller, out now on Yep Roc, Frantz and Marlin recruited three bandmates to record and travel with them. After years of touring, they knew the importance of finding the right personalities, as well as people with the skills to help them realize their musical vision. “We really lucked out by finding people we want to play with, and who also bring a lot of enthusiasm to live performances,” says Frantz.

Those bandmates are Knoxville, TN’s Josh Oliver, a guitarist and vocalist they’ve worked with in the past; Clint Mullican, a bass player with a background in jazz; and Kyle Keegan, a Charlotte, NC drummer who plays with bands on both sides of the Atlantic.

“The new album really came together along with the band,” says Frantz, who reports that almost all of Blindfaller was recorded live. “We went into the studio with really loose arrangements, which was something new for us. There’s a lot of sonic depth to the songs, but the arrangements themselves are pretty straightforward, which makes them really fun to play live.

the present political mood. The first single, “Wildfire,” features lines like, “I was born a Southern son in a small Southern town where the rebels run wild/ They beat their chests and they swear ‘we’re gonna rise again.’”

Frantz and Marlin felt compelled to speak out on the band’s Facebook page when they heard that one of their songs was being used by Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, Donald Trump’s running mate, at his rallies.

“We were thinking about the 1970s, when people like Pete Seeger and Bob Dylan were speaking out,” says Frantz. “And we felt like, just because we play a fiddle and a mandolin and come from North Carolina, we’d hate to think that someone would get the wrong idea of what we’re about.” f

that gives way to mild deconstruction via backward tape loops around the two-minute mark and a full-on drop immediately afterward. This sets up a tension that’s almost unbearable for about 20 seconds, until everything comes back in and the track is fully populated with every sound it previously introduced. Overall, it’s a great example of thoughtful track-building and respect for style. The collaborative title track is less fulfilling only in that its chill downbeat vibe, while competent, doesn’t really break new ground.

Take Me To The River: The Foundry will host a benefit for the Oconee River Land Trust Thursday, Oct. 20. This is the inaugural Oconee River Belles concert, and it’s planned to be an annual event. This first time around will feature the Grammy Award-winning banjoist Alison Brown, Claire Lynch and Indigo Girls, hot off the heels of their sold-out Georgia Theatre performance. Also on the bill this night are Sans Abri, which features Packway Handle Band members Josh Erwin, Troy Harris and Michael Paynter. This event begins at 7 p.m., and tickets are $40 at the door.

RIP: Flagpole was saddened to learn at press time that Athens musician Damien Schaefer passed away after a battle with cancer. In addition to playing in bands like The Walt Lariat and Pastor of Muppets, Schaefer was a mainstay on the local food scene and a founder of the popular supper club The Four Coursemen.

Vulture Culture: Jazz vocalist Marty Winkler will perform with Brazilian percussionist Tony Oscar at the third annual Vulture Festival Saturday, Oct. 22. This event is presented by Bear Hollow Wildlife Trail, the Athens-Clarke County Recycling Division and the Oconee River Audubon Society. It takes place at the Landfill Outdoor Classroom, which is, as its name states, at the landfill at 5700 Lexington Road. It’s a small amphitheater-type facility, and I am edified to know that it exists.

You can learn more about the classroom via athensclarkecounty.com. This event is free, runs from 8 a.m.–1 p.m. and features educational activities, an exhibition of trained birds, a scavenger hunt (oh, the possibilities) and a vulture-themed costume contest.

Named after song titles, the collection includes photorealistic renderings of Sam Burchfield, Sienna Chandler of Monsoon, Mike Cooley and Patterson Hood of Drive-By Truckers, Seth Hendershot, Thayer Sarrano, Wrenn and the Grassland String Band.

Burchfield and special guests will entertain the reception’s audience at 8 p.m. Additional pieces by Dorsey can currently be viewed in exhibitions at Athens Academy through Oct. 28 and Aurum Studios through December. [JS]

Caledonia Lounge · 7 p.m. · $14–16 Chicago singer-songwriter Ryley Walker has released two acclaimed albums of folk music that’s alternately lovely and biting: 2015’s Primrose Green and this year’s Golden Sings That Have Been Sung. With the latter record, the young Walker expands on the fingerpicked Bert Jansch vibes of his debut, incorporating various jazz and post-rock elements into his steady psych-folk sound. Album centerpiece “The Roundabout” nods a little too eagerly towards Rodriguez’s “Cause,” but its stoned matter-of-factness feels refreshingly candid. Fellow Chicago standout Circuit des Yeux, whose country-tinged Jackie Lynn is one of the year’s most unexpected treats, shares Monday’s must-see Caledonia bill. [Gabe Vodicka]

The Foundry · 6 p.m. · $10–13 All hail Richard Buckner, one of contemporary Americana music’s most essential yet under-appreciated singersongwriters. The California-born, New York-based Buckner has been working to perfect his craft since the mid-1990s, when he sprang onto a crowded altcountry scene with Bloomed and Devotion + Doubt, delicate, deliberate records that conjured the spirit of the wide-open West. He’s written, recorded and toured steadily since then, following up 2011’s beleaguered Our Blood with the career highlight Surrounded in 2013. Those who witnessed Buckner’s incredible Normaltown Hall show that same year know that you’d be a fool to miss his follow-up Classic City appearance Tuesday evening at The Foundry. [GV]

My Man’s Too Much to Handle Advice for Athens’ Loose and Lovelorn

By Bonita Applebum advice@flagpole.com I decided to wait almost a month to sleep with my newest boyfriend, rather than doing the typical “third date put-out.” I’m starting to wish that I’d gone ahead and slept with him, because even though he’s a great guy who tries really hard in the sack to please me, he’s got way too much tool for me to handle. I mean, there’s “well endowed,” and then there’s this guy. I’ve never had this problem before, and to be honest I never thought that something like this could be a problem! Let’s just say that those things work best on paper. Sex is very uncomfortable to the point of not being enjoyable, and I can tell the poor guy’s had this issue before, because he likes to spend a lot of time on foreplay before we get to actual intercourse.

It doesn’t matter how long, though, because every time it just hurts.

I really never thought this could be a bad thing! I like him and don’t wanna break up, obviously, but I certainly can’t handle sex with him. Are there things I can do to make sex more comfortable for me?

215 North Lumpkin St. • Athens, GA

18 & over / ID reqd. Tickets available online and at Georgia Theatre Box Office

Dear Bonita, I’ve been hanging out with this guy for about a month now, and I thought everything was going great. Sex is good and plentiful, and we see each other enough while still getting plenty of private time. I’m starting to regret our super-casual arrangement now, because I’ve basically discovered that he’s got another girlfriend running around this town. I mean, he’s sort of just “talking” to this other chick, but from what I can tell she gets as much of his time and attention as I do. I didn’t know about him and this girl at all, but through snooping around I’ve learned that they’ve had an onand-off thing for quite a while now. Am I getting cheated on, or am I actually the side chick?

I confronted him, and he treated me like I was crazy for getting so serious about him, and it really hurt my feelings. He says that we were never that serious, and that’s why he didn’t tell me about the other girl. I just don’t know what to do, because I want this guy, and I’m tired of losing men to other women.

Thanks, Heartbroken

I had this same problem a few years ago, actually. Vaginas can accommodate babies, so of course they can handle well-endowed penises, but it’s incredibly important that you be sure to have plenty of foreplay and be appropriately “in the mood” so that your body will be receptive and adjust itself accordingly.

Don’t be embarrassed to use over-the-counter lubricants, either. You wouldn’t believe how many women I’ve spoken to who refuse lube as a point of pride about their own body’s natural processes, but don’t be a hero. Use a hypoallergenic brand, and I personally prefer water-based lubricants.

It seems like you two are already spending lots of time on foreplay, so maybe he really is TOO big. In that case, a practical thing you can do is be the one on top when you’re intimate. I’m certain that your dude doesn’t want to cause you pain or injury, but he can easily wield that thing in a way that could cause actual harm to your body.

Just go slow and make sure that your body is absolutely ready to receive this guy, and this problem should fix itself!

Hi, Heartbroken, Pick up your phone right now and dump this piece of crap via text message. Welcome to Athens, where boys don’t commit in order to be able to sleep with a smorgasbord of local tail and give us all HPV. It sounds like you’re the side chick more than the main, but either way, you want monogamy, and this guy is flat-out refusing. When you mentioned how great the relationship was, your only evidence to that was sex. This relationship doesn’t sound like it’s worth much to him or to you, beyond the pride of being able to say you’re in one. But he doesn’t even want that, does he?

Dump him and move on. Go find you a loyal man with too much penis. Now that’s a good problem if I ever heard of one. f Need advice? Email advice@flagpole.com, use the anonymous form at flagpole.com/getadvice, or find Bonita on Twitter: @flagpolebonita.
