NCMA PARK

Harder Sudoku, Please Let’s begin with Terry Duff, who writes that “each voting year, I anxiously await your endorsement edition. Before your edition hits the outlets, I know exactly whom I will vote for in all major races. I don’t always want to spend time digging beyond the fluff that comes in the mail for low-level races, judges, and questions. Your edition allows this ‘conservative extremist’ (your characterization) to know who not to vote for … Among the ‘positive’ policies you mention for Hillary is ‘free college tuition.’ As with all your other Hillary positives, the question is ‘totally biased, ignorant, or just plain stupid?’ The rest of the year you do an excellent job with entertainment, dining, etc. Your Sudoku could be a bit harder, but it is fine.”

Meanwhile, Ron Garcia-Fogarty takes us to task for dismissing Jill Stein as a serious candidate: “I understand why the INDY wants to endorse Hillary once again; after all, we read your endorsements in the primaries, when you went for her against the first serious progressive Democratic presidential candidate in recent history. What I don’t understand is why you would want to alienate so many of your readers.

You must know that a sizable number of Triangle-area and North Carolina progressives are Green Party supporters, and yet you write that Jill Stein is ‘prone to conspiracy-minded pseudoscience such as the idea Wi-Fi is dangerous to children’s brains [and is] not a serious candidate.’ This is a slap in the face to the many people who have dedicated their lives to third-party activism and distortion and oversimplification of the views of a courageous woman who has played a strong leadership role at the national stage on social justice issues. I’m sad that the INDY is sliding toward the center of the political spectrum at a time when most Americans are moving toward a

more progressive vision.”

Finally, Perry Woods says our “judgment is lacking” in our endorsement of Bryant Paris III over Monica Bousman for N.C. District Court, District 10. (Disclosure: Woods, a Democratic operative, is general consultant for the Bousman campaign.) “Monica Bousman has been the lead judge for Wake County’s Juvenile Abuse and Neglect Court since 2005. She has fought to protect the most vulnerable of our citizens, the children who are victims of abuse and neglect by their parents.

Her experience is irreplaceable, and her loss from the bench would be a serious blow to those who need our protection the most. The lack of an endorsement for her is even more ironic since the INDY listed experience in Juvenile Court as the reason to endorse a candidate in another judicial race.

“The INDY apparently based its endorsement on the N.C. Bar Association’s most recent Judicial Performance Evaluation Survey. This survey is self-selecting and voluntary, so it is little more than a complaint board for disgruntled attorneys, and should be treated as such. In no shock, it consistently gives minority and women jurists lower scores.

“Endorsements in down-ballot races, especially nonpartisan ones, carry more weight than those at the top of the ticket, and deserve at least equal due diligence then more high profile races. Unfortunately, it appears in this case the INDY has fallen short of that standard. As well, endorsing two men over highly experienced women judges is hardly progressive.”

“I’m sad that the INDY is sliding toward the center of the political spectrum at a time when most Americans are moving toward a more progressive vision.”

triangulator behold, the race is a dead heat heading into the home stretch.

2. Tamara Barringer: N.C. Senate, District 17

At the beginning of this year, who could have guessed that Hillary Clinton would be up by about three points in North Carolina—or that her opponent would be Donald Trump? Or that a Washington Post poll taken in October would have Roy Cooper leading an HB 2-damaged Pat McCrory by thirteen?

Sure, a Public Policy Polling survey released Monday shows a much closer race, with Cooper up just two. But it suffices to say the top of the ticket isn’t doing as well as the N.C. Republican Party would have hoped— and that has real ramifications for down-ballot races, including here in the Triangle.

Here are five Republicans whose reelections are in serious jeopardy because of Pat and Donald.

1. Richard Burr: U.S. Senate

Burr, who has served for twelve years in the U.S. Senate, entered his reelection campaign with a huge name-recognition advantage over former state representative Deborah Ross. But Burr’s association with Trump was a problem from the beginning; a PPP poll taken in March found that voters were less likely to support Burr—by a whopping 26 points—if he endorsed Trump. And lo and 6 | 10.26.16 | INDYweek.com

+DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS

Barringer, who represents Cary, voted for HB 2. But, feeling the pressure after the NCAA and ACC pulled championships from the state (and from Cary, which she represents), she became the first Republican legislator to call for its repeal. Barringer represents a district won

by Mitt Romney in 2012 by less than six points, and she’s facing a tough match with Wake County school board member Susan Evans, so the top of the ticket could help flip this seat in the other direction.

3. Chad Barefoot: N.C. Senate, District 18

Barefoot—like his mother-inlaw, N.C. Values Coalition executive director Tami Fitzgerald—is a real-deal social conservative who vocally supported HB 2. As the consequences of HB 2 have continued to hit North Carolina, however, he’s been eerily quiet.

There’s good reason for that: Barefoot, who won in 2014 by less than four thousand votes out of over sixty thousand cast, is fighting for his political life against longtime Franklin County school board member Gil Johnson.

4. Chris Malone: N.C. House, District 35

Malone has also done an HB 2 disappearing act. Malone won easily in 2012 and 2014, but this year he’s facing one of the Democrats’ stronger candidates in Wake Forest lawyer Terence Everitt. Considering the financial hit Wake County has taken and the unpopu-

larity of Trump, the GOP’s headliners won’t be doing Malone any favors.

5. Gary Pendleton: N.C. House, District 49

Pendleton, a former chairman of the Wake County Board of Commissioners who was appointed to the legislature in 2014, told The News & Observer he didn’t vote for HB 2 because “I wasn’t going to go down there and get harassed and harassed and harassed to vote for something I just didn’t want to vote for.” He later called for a special session to repeal it. His opponent, Cynthia Ball, has deep connections in Wake County politics.

Pendleton barely won in 2014, by less than thirteen hundred votes; in a big-turnout year where Trump and McCrory will almost certainly lose Wake by a big margin, that might just be enough to help Ball deny Pendleton reelection, even if he came up on the right side of the year’s most controversial issue.

+WOLVES IN THE WILD

It was sold as a victory for the endangered red wolf population living in eastern North Carolina—the conference call hosted, in midSeptember, by U.S. Fish and Wildlife officials who claimed they had figured out a way to save the species from extinction.

But wolf advocates say that, hidden in the details of the “Population Viability Analysis” used by USFWS to chart its path forward, data suggests the feds lied to, as conservation scientist Ron Sutherland puts it, “justify their cowardly new plan of removing almost all of the wolves from the wild.”

The feds’ plan focuses on securing the captive population of two-hundred-plus wolves living in zoos and other facilities across the county; as USFWS southeast regional director Cindy Dohner argued back in September, “the most stunning data shows the captive population is not secure” and “losing the captive population could mean losing the entire species.”

Advocates contend that’s why the plan also included language that would contain the wild wolf population to federal land in

Dare County—the former recovery area spanned five counties—leaving wolves discovered outside the boundary subject to capture, a life in captivity, or, in Sutherland’s worst-case-scenario, “shot by landowners who would face no repercussions.”

So where in the viability analysis did data reveal a need to focus on the captive population? Sutherland and several of the authors of that report say nowhere, and some accuse the USFWS of lying to satisfy the wishes of wealthy landowners who have, in the past, lobbied to get the wolves out of the state.

A letter drafted by “the scientific team conducting the population viability analysis” and sent to Dohner October 11 outlined “alarming misinterpretations of the PVA as justification for the final decision” on the embattled species’ future.

“The most conspicuous misinterpretation of these results is … that ‘the species is not secured in captivity’ and that ‘with no changes to current management, the species will likely be lost within the decade,’” the letter reads. “The [captive population] is under no risk of extinction. The [captive population] does not need wild red wolves from North Carolina for its security.”

Why fudge the data? Sutherland says the answer is simple: the anti-red wolf lobby has friends in high places. “They were lying in a most blatant and egregious way to justify a plan that can only be described as a horrific retreat from protecting red wolves in the wild where they belong,” he says.

Fortunately, the wolves have powerful friends, too. U.S. District Judge Terrence Boyle recently ordered a temporary injunction that both restricts the federal government’s ability to remove the animals from private property and prohibits landowners from shooting them. And he blasted the USFWS for a failure to “adequately provide for the protection of red wolves.” After this latest revelation, it’s hard to disagree.

+GREENHOUSE EFFECTS In many ways, greenhouses are not all that green.

ILLUSTRATION BY CHRIS WILLIAMS

Plants require only certain wavelengths of light to grow, which means the sunlight the plants don’t use ends up lingering around inside greenhouses and driving up the temperature, which in turn means greenhouse keepers must expend time and energy keeping the temperature down at more ideal levels so the plants can thrive.

Viewed differently, though, this excess heat presents an opportunity for efficiency.

“Plants need the sunlight,” says Wei You, an associate professor of chemistry at UNCChapel Hill. “But they don’t need all of it.”

Through a new project called Solar Powered Integrated Greenhouse, or SPRING,

PERIPHERAL VISIONS | V.C. ROGERS

You and five other scientists from N.C. State and UNC-Chapel Hill intend to harness these underutilized wavelengths of light via semitransparent solar cells built into the roofs of greenhouses.

Traditional silicon solar panels offer no transparency and don’t allow light through in a greenhouse setting. Polymer-based solar panels, though, are like plants, in that they only use certain wavelengths of light.

Installing polymer solar panels in a greenhouse could have the win-win effect of simultaneously producing electricity and leaving enough light for flourishing plants.

If successful, the idea could change farm-

ing and greenhouse production in dramatic ways. Off-the-grid greenhouses could help alleviate farmers’ financial burdens and allow greenhouse-aided crop production in new places.

“In countries like the U.S. and in Asia, where things are developed with infrastructure for a greenhouse, the impact may be less,” You says. “But in terms of rural areas, the impact will be much more. You could go to [places in] Africa [that] might not have the grid infrastructure for a greenhouse.”

After developing the transparent panels, SPRING intends to fine-tune the greenhouses for different climates and vegetables. Different plants require different light, and once the project is out of a demo stage, the focus will be on tailoring.

SPRING is supported by a four-year, $3 million grant from a new National Science Foundation program called Innovations at the Nexus of Food, Energy and Water Systems, which “looks at ways of sustaining food, energy, and water systems, taking into effect that one may affect the other two,” says Carol Bessel, deputy division director for the NSF. The grant arrives in January. triangulator@indyweek.com This week’s report by Paul Blest, Ken Fine, and Sara Kiley Watson.

The Choking Neuse

WATCHDOGS SAY HURRICANE MATTHEW UNLEASHED TOXIC COAL ASH INTO THE NEUSE RIVER. DUKE ENERGY SAYS IT’S NO BIG DEAL.

BY KEN FINE

F

or a moment, with the help of an October breeze, rays of sunlight dance across the endless wall of spruces and pines that guards the Neuse River from the wildlife stirring beyond the riverbank—revealing, in all of its burnt orange, maroon, and yellow glory, the dawn of an eastern North Carolina fall. A blue jay, having taken notice of the motorboat making its way toward the H.F. Lee Power Plant, decides to give the man behind the wheel a run for his money. Downstream, a fish jumps out of the water.

A few hundred yards from this idyllic scene, however, poison lurks—arsenic and cancer-causing heavy metals that have, yet again, been documented by environmentalists who, just days ago, took water samples that sounded alarm bells. And when the vessel slows near the bank that conceals 170 acres of inactive Duke Energy coal ash ponds and the active pond not too far down the river, the toxins reveal themselves.

Autumn seems to disappear. The trees resemble a winter landscape, one you might expect to see the morning after a heavy snow.

The colors that left you breathless upstream are blanketed in a thick off-white powder— one so toxic that two men who have made protecting the Neuse their respective life’s work warn you against touching.

It’s been more than two years since a catastrophic coal ash spill into the Dan River led to three Duke Energy subsidiaries pleading guilty to nine criminal violations of the Clean Water Act. The company was fined $68 million, ordered to pay another $24 million to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and told to give $10 million to a wetlands mitigation bank to offset the long-term environmental impact of the coal ash basins.

But much of Duke’s 108 million tons of ash, currently housed in pits ordered closed and excavated, remained as of a few weeks ago, as the court-ordered cleanup moves at a crawl.

Then, the unthinkable happened. Hurricane Matthew flooded the H.F. Lee pits in Goldsboro, polluting the Neuse and, as a result of 8 | 10.26.16 | INDYweek.com

an unprecedented rise in the river, caking with poison trees that have stood longer than any person currently inhabiting the earth.

“I mean, look up. You’re talking a good eight feet,” says Pete Harrison, an attorney with the Waterkeeper Alliance, a watchdog group that uncovered toxic seepage from the H.F. Lee ponds in 2014. “[Duke] said it’s not coal ash, it’s cenospheres. That’s like saying, ‘That’s not a dog, it’s a Labrador.’”

While the group contends the chalky substance caking the trees is, in fact, coal ash, cenospheres—a byproduct of coal combustion—are bad enough; if inhaled, they can cause respiratory damage.

Photographic and video documentation of the spill site provided by the alliance tells a story beyond the one in which a fall landscape was converted into a Tim Burton-esque winter wonderland. But proof of a one-inch-thick layer of coal ash choking the water’s surface was dismissed by Duke officials, who accused the alliance of using scare tactics to inflame the public.

“The state team that inspected the facility determined that the amount of material that was displaced would not even fill the bed of an average pickup truck,” according to a statement released by Duke.

Harrison doesn’t buy the company’s deni-

al. “You’re talking about a million tons of coal ash” in the inactive ponds submerged by the floodwaters, he notes. And what the alliance found on the river’s surface doesn’t include the ash in the trees or toxins that likely have sunk from view.

“It’s heavy metals. They are carcinogens,” says Upper Neuse riverkeeper Matthew Starr. “The level of arsenic in the groundwater monitoring well on this site is the highest of any of their coal ash sites around the state.

It’s sixty times the allowable limit of arsenic in that groundwater. Coal ash is heavily toxic. That’s why they are being required to remove the coal ash at eight of their facilities.

“It’s heavy metals.

They are carcinogens.

Coal ash is heavily toxic.”

claimed that the DEQ asked that language be added to the letter sent to homeowners saying the water met federal standards. Here’s the rub: that was only true because the U.S. has no standard for hexavalent chromium.

McCrory has contended ever since that he and his administration had nothing to do with it. But last week saw the release of yet another deposition—this one, from DHHS communications director Kendra Gerlach, who testified that the language came from “the Capitol.”

“I received a fax with a sentence to be included,” Gerlach said during the deposition.

“It came from the communications office, but I don’t know the individual.”

That’s why they pled guilty during a federal investigation.”

He lays the blame for this environmental disaster squarely on Duke. “The pits are just not in the right place, and this ash is in unlined pits on the bank of rivers,” he says.

“The H.F. Lee pits are in the floodway, in the flood zone. We saw it flood in ’99, so it’s just not a good place to store your coal ash. And the fix is in on this. They are going to have to fully excavate this coal ash and get it away from surface water in a lined facility. I don’t want to undermine the sheer magnitude of the amount of coal ash that’s in our state, but they can’t do it fast enough. The sooner the better.”

T

he McCrory administration has been notably friendly to Duke, a company that has, through its subsidiaries, donated $330,000 to the Republican Governors Association in this election cycle alone. (The RGA spent $5 million to help elect Governor McCrory four years ago and has spent millions more so far this year.) McCrory, of course, was a Duke executive for nearly three decades before taking up residence in the Executive Mansion.

After the 2014 Dan River spill, McCrory’s Department of Environment and Natural Resources (now the Department of Environmental Quality) fined Duke $25 million for “daily penalties dating back to 2012 for pollution violations.” Later, though, it reduced that figure to $6.6 million, a move that outraged environmentalists. And even after Duke pleaded guilty to violating the Clean Water Act, Harrison points out, the administration had its back: “The state’s attorney objected,” Harrison says. “He stood up in the courtroom after Duke admitted they had committed a crime and objected.”

Top: Matthew Starr (left) and Pete Harrison look for signs of coal ash in the Neuse River. Bottom: foliage on the banks of the Neuse in Goldsboro. PHOTOS BY BEN MCKEOWN More recently, in August, state epidemiologist Megan Davies resigned because, in her view, the McCrory administration “deliberately” lied about how standards were drafted to test private wells near Duke’s power plants. Davies, in a sworn deposition, said state officials pressured scientists to relax testing for the carcinogenic hexavalent chromium. At the time, McCrory’s office denied

involvement. And the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services issued a statement vowing that “throughout this process, we’ve provided full information to homeowners about the safety of their drinking water and have taken appropriate steps to reassure citizens who have been unduly alarmed.”

In sworn testimony, however, state toxicologist Kenneth Rudo said this was a lie. He

t’s likely that somewhere along the Neuse, at this very moment, Harrison and Starr are in a boat, racing blue jays down the river until they reach the ash-covered banks and trees that guard the H.F Lee plant’s inactive coal ash ponds from public scrutiny. But continuing to test the water for toxicity—and releasing their findings to media outlets—is the only way, they say, to keep pressure on Duke officials who have not lived up to their pledge to excavate the ash.

“It’s a public waterway. The public deserves to know what’s going on,” Starr says. “I want our water to be clean. I want it to be fishable, swimmable, and drinkable for me, for you, for your children, for the farmers and their children. I want the river to be clean for everyone.”

And he wants the legislature to put into place regulations to protect rivers like the Neuse against industrial and agricultural waste. “The longer it takes to either put back commonsense regulations on the books or to keep them on the books, the more polluted our water becomes—the more expensive and harder it becomes to get it back to a healthy place,” he says.

Make no mistake, he adds. This is not simply an eastern North Carolina problem.

It affects every man, woman, and child in the state.

“This should matter to all North Carolinians because our rivers belong to all of us and it’s our legacy,” he says. “The rivers will be here long after we are gone, so it’s imperative that we protect them for our children and our children’s children. If we can’t hold industry accountable, it creates a very slippery slope.” kfine@indyweek.com INDYweek.com | 10.26.16 | 9

Pat McCrory asked incredulously about HB 2 in a September campaign ad.

Yes, Pat. We are.

The governor has his reasons for wanting to change the subject. Last year, he was facing the prospect of a tough but winnable reelection challenge against the state’s popular sixteen-year attorney general. McCrory, for all his many missteps, controversies, and abysmal policy decisions, had benefited from a tech boom and a (slowly) recovering economy, especially in the state’s urban areas, a phenomenon he dubbed the “Carolina Comeback.”

This year changed all of that.

Starting with the March special session that gave birth to HB 2—the infamous “bathroom bill” that did lots of other terrible stuff, too—McCrory has been exposed for what he’s been all along: a bumbling coward who has rolled over for the far-right General Assembly. Following one screw-up with another—from a state epidemiologist accusing the administration of lying about the safety of drinking water to repeated half-truths about HB 2—McCrory has proven himself completely unfit for the office he holds.

Here, we’ve compiled an indictment of sorts against America’s worst governor, a list of sixty-six reasons—we left hundreds more on the cutting-room floor— why Pat McCrory needs to get the hell out of our Executive Mansion.

To be clear, this isn’t a fair and balanced story. It’s not objective.

But it is the damn truth.

McCRORY & CIVIL RIGHTS

McCrory didn’t order the March 23 special session that produced HB 2 (Lieutenant Governor Dan Forest and House Speaker Tim Moore did that), but he signed it. And not only did he sign it, he signed it that night—less than twelve hours after it had been introduced—while half the legislature was still trying to figure out what was in the thing. (NPR, March 24, 2016)

2.

HB 2 has cost the state a pretty penny: $230 million by Facing South’s estimate and as much as $395 million according to Wired.

The state has lost the NBA All-Star Game, NCAA tournaments, ACC tournament games, a PayPal expansion, a Deutsche Bank expansion, countless concerts, and more.

(INDY Week, September 21, 2016)

3.

HB 2 also put billions of dollars in federal education funding at risk, after the Obama administration ruled that HB 2 constituted a violation of Title IX and issued a directive making clear that the state must “ensure nondiscrimination on the basis of sex,” which “requires schools to provide transgender students equal access to educational programs and activities even in circumstances in which other students, parents, or community members raise objections or concerns.” (Indeed, perhaps the law’s one silver lining is that it forced the White House to take a stand on transgender rights.) North Carolina (along with twentythree other states) sued the U.S. Department of Justice in several difference cases; fortunately, the administration has agreed not to halt the funds while those cases make their way through the courts. (The Washington Post, May 13, 2016; Politico, July 8, 2016)

4.

McCrory was apparently willing to raid disaster relief funds to pay the HB 2 legal bills. An end-of-session “budget correction” moved $500,000 from the state’s disaster relief fund to defend the many lawsuits over HB 2; Senate Majority Leader Harry Brown told WRAL that the “governor asked for it.” McCrory neither signed nor vetoed the bill, which became law; after a public outcry, the administration said it wouldn’t use the money and denied ever asking for it in the first place. (WRAL, June 30, 2016; The News & Observer, August 5, 2016)

5.

While McCrory has acknowledged that HB 2 could cost the state $300 million, he refuses to accept responsibility for it.

Since March, McCrory has blamed the HB 2

fallout on, among others, “the left,” Attorney General Roy Cooper, Charlotte mayor Jennifer Roberts, the Human Rights Campaign, President Obama, the NBA, Demi Lovato, and a Jonas brother. (N&O, April 26, 2016)

6.

Amid the backlash, McCrory went on Meet the Press and said that the “Human Rights Council”—he meant the Human Rights Campaign—was “more powerful than the NRA.” This is objectively false: the NRA spent $350 for every $1 HRC spent on ads, mailers, and other political efforts during the 2012 and 2014 cycles. (NBC News, April 17, 2016; Politifact, April 21, 2016)

7.

McCrory acknowledges that transgender former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner is a woman, but thinks she should use the men’s locker room anyway. As he put it at a debate, “If she’s going to a shower facility at UNCChapel Hill after running around the track, she’s gonna use the men’s shower.” This points to a fundamental misunderstanding of the lives of transgender people, which is why he probably shouldn’t have signed a law that codified his ignorance into state statutes.

McCrory thinks transphobia makes for a good laugh line (and he’s not particularly good at telling jokes). At a July rally for Donald Trump in Winston-Salem, he said, “We’ve got a big crowd, so if you need to leave suddenly, we’ve got exits this way, exits this way, and exits this way. And if any of you need to use the restrooms …” [Cheering.] “… And if you have any questions, go to the Philadelphia convention, where all the Democrats are!” (Fusion, July 26, 2016)

McCrory believes that he’s the real victim of intolerance. At a Family Research Council event, the governor accused the HRC of causing him and his wife to be ostracized by friends and charities. “It’s almost like the George Orwell book 1984,” he complained, “where if you disagree with Big Brother, or you go against the thought police, you will be purged and you will disappear.”

While defending HB 2, McCrory said Congress should rethink civil rights laws: “Frankly, I think there's a time where the Republicans and the Democrats in this Congress need to revisit the 1964 Civil Rights Act and revisit all this issue,” McCrory told CNN’s Jake Tapper, referring to transgender rights.

In September, Judge Thomas Schroeder, a George W. Bush appointee, granted the plaintiffs in the HB 2 case a INDYweek.com | 10.26.16 | 11

In July, the Fourth District Court of Appeals struck down the state’s voting law, which imposed some of the most stringent voting restrictions in the country, cutting early voting days, eliminating same-day registration, and requiring a photo ID at the polls. The Fourth Circuit said that the law was “enacted with racially discriminatory intent.” (The Atlantic, August 26, 2016; The Washington Post, July 29, 2016)

At an October 11 debate, McCrory seemed to endorse racial profiling. When asked if implicit bias was a factor in policing, McCrory responded, “There’s bias in all of us, it’s not necessarily racial bias. There might be bias in how we dress, how we look, the environment that we might be in.

Those are tools that police use to determine what action to take.” (ThinkProgress, October 11, 2016)

In October 2015, McCrory signed a bill banning “sanctuary cities,” or municipalities that prohibit their local police forces from asking residents about their immigration status or issuing forms of ID for undocumented immigrants. The law makes it less likely that undocumented immigrants will report crimes to authorities. (WRAL, October 28, 2015)

14.

After signing HB 318, which stripped municipalities of the ability to direct their police departments not to ask about immigration status, McCrory sat down with ABC11’s Jon Camp for an interview. Minutes into it, he grew irritated with Camp’s use of the word “undocumented.” “Illegal, I—excuse me, you say—your station apparently has a rule where you can’t use the term ‘illegal,’ but these are illegal immigrants coming into our nation.” (ABC11, October 29, 2015)

Earlier this year, McCrory signed HB 972, a bill that restricts police body-camera footage so that only the police can decide whether or not to show the footage to anyone, even if the person requesting it is on the recording. The law—which critics worry will further erode trust between the police and African-American communities—also says that the footage can only be released to the public following a court order.

MCCRORY & SOCIAL ISSUES

During the 2012 campaign, McCrory promised to not sign any new restrictions on abortion. But in 2013 he signed a law that applied the same outpatient-surgical-center standards to abortion clinics and excluded abortion coverage from city and county health plans. McCrory broke his promise again two years later, signing a law requiring women to wait seventy-two hours before getting an abortion and doctors who perform abortions after fourteen weeks to supply an ultrasound to the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services. McCrory argued that these were “common-sense measures aimed at protecting women’s health,” and thus did not break his pledge. (USA Today, July 29, 2013; The New York Times, January 10, 2016)

17.

“Basically,” says NARAL ProChoice North Carolina executive director Tara Romano, “the last four years have brought North Carolina a seventy-two-hour waiting period, medically unnecessary clinic and provider requirements, the collection of private ultrasounds, and state funding for anti-abortion pregnancy centers. They’ve cut funding for Planned Parenthood and restricted private health insurance in the [Affordable Care Act] marketplace from offering abortion care coverage. … Taken as a whole, these actions make it difficult both for abortion providers to practice in North Carolina and for patients seeking abortion to access safe care.” (Email from Tara Romano, October 20)

18.

In 2013, McCrory signed the repeal of the Racial Justice Act, which eliminated the ability of death row inmates to challenge their sentences on racial grounds. When he signed it, he called that provision a “loophole.” Some examples of this “loophole”: In one 2012 case, brought by three condemned inmates, a judge found that racial discrimination in jury selection “is further supported by statements by attorneys and judges acknowledging that the practice continues and is visible.” In another the same year, a court found statistical bias in the use of the death penalty. Both cases were challenged under the Racial Justice Act. (CNN, June 20, 2013; North Carolina v. Robinson, 2012; North Carolina v. Golphin et al., 2012)

McCRORY & HIS PALS

Soon after winning four years ago, McCrory appointed conservative megadonor Art Pope as the state’s budget director, where Pope oversaw, among other things, the elimination of public funding for judicial races and the slashing of funds for the UNC system. When Pope stepped down, McCrory replaced him with another Republican mega-donor, Lee Roberts. (The Charlotte Observer, August 6, 2014)

McCrory also tapped Aldona Wos— another Republican donor who contributed thousands to McCrory’s first two campaigns for governor—to run the DHHS. During her two-plus years as head of the agency, Wos repeatedly said Medicaid was “broken” and laid the groundwork for its privatization, which was approved by the legislature (and McCrory) the month after she stepped down. (WRAL, March 26, 2014; INDY Week, August 12, 2015)

. Wos once gave an employee of her husband’s company $228,000 to be an advisor for eight months, and paid $37,227 to a chief of staff who resigned after a month. During her tenure, she also gave a pair of twenty-four-year-olds who worked on McCrory’s 2012 campaign $22,000-plus raises to do jobs in which they had little experience: communications director Ricky Diaz got $85,000 a year, and chief policy advisor Matthew McKillip got $87,500. Diaz worked at the DHHS for less than a year; he’s now McCrory’s campaign spokesman.

(WRAL, March 26, 2014.; N.C. Policy Watch, August 13, 2014)

Over the objections of secretary of public safety Frank Perry, McCrory instructed Perry to renew a $3 million contract with a political donor, Charlotte developer Graeme Keith. According to Perry, during a meeting with McCrory and Perry, Keith said that he had given a lot of money to candidates running for public office, and he was due something in return. McCrory said that he didn’t hear the comment: “Had I heard it, I would have walked out.” (N&O, October 30, 2015)

McCRORY & POOR PEOPLE

McCrory’s refusal to expand Medicaid has resulted in five hundred thousand residents remaining uninsured, six and a half years after the passage of the Affordable Care Act. In 2014, Harvard and City University of New York researchers estimated that, due to that decision, between 455 and 1,145 North Carolinians die each year because they don’t have health insurance. (N.C. Health News, May 26, 2016; Health Affairs, January 30, 2014)

McCrory signed a bill eliminating the state earned income tax credit, a crucial benefit for working-class families. Nearly a million low- and moderate-income residents ended up paying more in taxes because of it.

(N.C. Policy Watch, January 31, 2014)

26.

Since McCrory took office, North Carolina has moved from a progressive income tax system to a 5.75 percent flat tax, which disproportionately benefits the wealthy. ThinkProgress estimated that someone who makes $1 million per year receives a $10,000 tax cut, while the bottom 80 percent have seen their taxes go up because deductions were eliminated. (ThinkProgress, January 14, 2014)

27.

North Carolina has also drastically slashed corporate income tax rates—from 6.9 percent in 2013 to 3 percent next year.

“North Carolina’s business tax rate will now be the lowest in the nation among states with a business income tax,” McCrory boasted.

In 2015, McCrory signed a bill that removes the requirement for a physician to be present during an execution and excluded the names of execution-drug manufacturers from public records. The death penalty is effectively illegal in North Carolina; the state has not executed anyone in a decade, due to legal challenges and the unwillingness of manufacturers to sell the lethal drugs, but McCrory wants to bring it back.

A 2015 Institution on Taxation and Economic Policy report found that families making less than $80,000 per year—80 percent of the state’s tax base— were paying around 9 percent of their family income on taxes, while the top 1 percent were paying just 5.3 percent.

In 2015, McCrory signed a bill forcing food stamp beneficiaries to “prove” they were working, volunteering, or taking classes at least twenty hours a week. But, as a 2015 University of California at Berkeley study found, there is at least one working adult in 56 percent of families receiving welfare. The problem is these people don’t make a living wage—and state law, signed by McCrory, prohibits cities from increasing the $7.25-an-hour wage floor. (N&O, January 9, 2016; UC-Berkeley Labor Center, April 13, 2005)

Soon after taking office, McCrory signed a bill that curtailed unemployment insurance in the state, even as the state’s workforce was recovering from the recession and its unemployment rate stood above 9 percent. The bill cut the maximum weekly benefit from $535 to $350 and reduced the number of weeks a person could receive it from twenty-six to twenty. (ThinkProgress, February 19, 2013)

31.

Despite McCrory’s claims of a “Carolina Comeback,” upward mobility is lackluster at best. A 2016 report by the Durham-based research center MDC showed that “only about one-third of children born into North Carolina families making less than $25,000 annually manage to climb into middle- and upper-income levels as adults.”

(MDC, “State of the South,” April 2016)

That same report also found that a single parent with one child “needs an income of $21 an hour to cover basic living expenses in North Carolina, yet only 26 percent of full-time jobs pay median earnings of that amount.” (MDC, “State of the South,” April 2016)

MCCRORY & SCHOOLS

"I DON '’T GE T

When the recession started in 2008, per-pupil spending in North Carolina was $8,867; seven years later, the expected per-pupil spending in 2015–16 is $8,898— an improvement of $31—one of the lowest rates in the country. Public Schools First, a pro-public-education group, estimated that, adjusted for inflation, per-pupil spending is nearly $700 lower than it was pre-recession. Some of these cuts occurred before McCrory took office, and federal stimulus money propped up the schools for a while, but funding hasn’t returned to its previous level even after the economy recovered.

Instead, McCrory signed bills creating and later boosting the school voucher program, which awards up to $10 million per year to private schools. (Public Schools First NC, July 27, 2016; INDY Week, June 1, 2016)

Textbook funding was reduced from $68 per student in 2007–08 to $15 per student in 2014–15, a 78 percent reduction; instructional supplies were cut by more than half, from $59 per student in 2007–08 to $28 in 2014–15. These cuts have sometimes forced teachers to pay for supplies out of their own pockets. The Asheville Citizen-Times reported in August that the money for supplies in Asheville schools had dropped from $215,530 in 2007–08 to $136,802 this year.

One teacher estimated that she and her husband, another teacher, spend more than $500 for supplies. Here again, some of these cuts began before McCrory took office, but they’ve also remained stagnant under his watch, even as the economy has improved. (N.C. Department of Public Instruction, 2015; Asheville Citizen-Times, August 10, 2016)

North Carolina teachers are fleeing the state’s public schools. As EducationWeek wrote last October, “North Carolina lost about 2,700 teachers last year due to causes that suggest personal dissatisfaction with the state's public schools, whether through outright exit from the profession, poaching by other states, or early retirement.” In 2009–10, 11.1 percent of North Carolina teachers left during or after the school year; by 2014–15, teacher turnover was at nearly 15 percent.

Since 2008, state funding per UNC system student has dropped nearly 16 percent, even as tuition costs have shot up more than 42 percent. "I worry about the impact additional reductions will have on our ability to provide high-quality educational opportunities to our residents and to assist in North Carolina’s economic recovery,” UNC president Tom Ross said of McCrory’s first budget in 2013. Republicans then stacked the UNC Board of Governors with other Republicans, who forced Ross out less than two years later and replaced him with former Bush administration official Margaret Spellings.

Since 2010, the Department of Public Instruction’s budget has been cut by more than $19.4 million, which led to the loss of more than two hundred jobs at the state’s education agency. This, despite the fact that, as DPI superintendent June Atkinson told N.C. Policy Watch, the agency only spends 6 percent of its budget on administration. (N.C. Policy Watch, August 4, 2016)

In 2016—not coincidentally, an election year—the legislature and McCrory raised teacher pay. But McCrory’s claims that average teacher salaries will reach $50,000 don’t tell the whole story; up to two-thirds of North Carolina teachers don’t make anywhere near that, and local governments are usually expected to kick something in, meaning McCrory is taking credit for local governments’ actions. (The Charlotte Observer, August 31, 2016)

In December 2012, McCrory appointed John Skvarla, the CEO of the Raleighbased Restoration Systems, as secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Skvarla, the head of an enforcement agency, erred on the side of industry: in 2013, Skvarla presided over just $518,000 in fines, down from an average of $2 million a year in the mid-2000s. (N&O, December 2, 2014)

Skvarla—again, the head of an environmental regulatory agency in a state whose coastal areas are endangered by rising sea levels—is something of a climate change skeptic. As he once told WRAL, "I think climate change is a science and I think science is constantly in need of scrutiny.” (WRAL, January 4, 2013)

41.

McCrory feels much the same way: “I don’t get caught up in the ‘quote’ global warming debate because I frankly think there are some things that are out of our control. It’s in God’s hands,” McCrory told WHKY in 2008. In 2014, McCrory was pressed on it again on Face the Nation: “The debate is, really, how much of it is man-made and how much will it cost to have any impact on climate change.” (WHKY, April 17, 2008; WRAL, February 16, 2014)

The McCrory administration was one of twenty-four states to sue the federal government over the EPA’s Clean Power Plan, the Obama administration’s attempt to stem the emissions of greenhouse gases.

Because Attorney General (and McCrory opponent) Roy Cooper refused to represent the state, North Carolina was the only state to be represented in court by its environmental regulatory agency. (Public News Service, October 27, 2015; The Washington Post, February 9, 2016)

McCrory was an executive for nearly three decades at Duke Energy before his election as governor—including thirteen years of his tenure as Charlotte’s mayor. After the 2014 Dan River coal ash spill, regulators fined Duke $25 million for “daily penalties dating back to 2012 for pollution violations.”

Later, though, they reduced that to $6.6 million. Duke Energy is worth $57 billion. (Associated Press, August 22, 2016)

45.

In 2015, McCrory had a private dinner with Duke Energy officials at the Executive Mansion. When asked about that meeting during a gubernatorial debate, McCrory claimed that the conversation was about a veto of a coal ash cleanup bill. That seems incorrect; McCrory vetoed a bill creating a commission to oversee the coal ash cleanup in 2014 (which was overridden, and later taken to the N.C. Supreme Court) and another this year. He didn’t veto anything related to coal ash in 2015. (WRAL, October 17, 2016)

46.

McCrory failed to disclose his holdings in Duke Energy after the company’s coal ash spilled into the Dan River. McCrory sold his stock after the spill, which spokesman Josh Ellis said was done to “stop the constant, unfounded challenges of the governor’s character.” (N&O, August 13, 2014)

47.

McCrory’s chief of staff, Thomas Stith, called a late-night press conference on August 1 to accuse state toxicologist Kenneth Rudo of lying in a sworn deposition. In that deposition, Rudo said administration officials misled the public about the safety of drinking water near Duke Energy’s coal ash

ponds. It turned out that Stith hadn’t even read Rudo’s testimony; in his own deposition, Stith said that Ellis was his source. (N.C. Policy Watch, October 4, 2016)

48.

That same week, two top McCrory administration officials, DEQ assistant secretary Tom Reeder and state health director Kenneth Williams, wrote a letter to media outlets criticizing Rudo for “questionable and unscientific conclusions.” Rudo’s crime?

After this “open editorial,” state epidemiologist Megan Davies—Rudo’s boss—resigned with a letter of her own: “Upon reading the open editorial yesterday evening, I can only conclude that the Department’s leadership is fully aware that this document misinforms the public,” Davies wrote.

“I cannot work for a Department and Administration that deliberately misleads the public.” (N.C. Health News, August 12, 2016)

Last week, we learned through a newly released deposition that McCrory’s communications team had in fact ordered DHHS officials to tell well owners that their water met federal standards, over the objection of a state scientist. Previously, the governor’s office had said that agency experts had reached a consensus that the water was safe.

Although the McCrory administration said that cleaning up Jordan Lake was a “top priority,” McCrory’s regulators gave legislators the idea to buy SolarBees for Jordan Lake, in lieu of regulations to crack down on pollution entering the lake downstream. In March, the DEQ released a draft report saying that these devices don’t work; in response, officials pulled the report down from the website and from the agenda of the Environmental Management Commission.

66 REASONS stand what our job is. And some of my colleagues think he doesn’t understand what his job is.” (N&O, July 25, 2015)

53.

Because of his strained relationship with fellow Republicans, McCrory has often exerted little influence over the policies coming out of the legislature and instead has become a willing participant to the extremism of Senate leader Phil Berger and the House leadership. For example: in an email to an opponent of HB 2, McCrory’s legal counsel said McCrory talked to a “large number of legislators” about his opposition to the bill but signed it anyway, because he knew his veto would be swiftly overridden. Presumably, he didn’t want to appear feckless— when, in fact, that’s exactly what he was. (The Charlotte Observer, October 18, 2016)

MCCRORY & TRANSPARENCY

Last year, the INDY, five other media outlets, the N.C. Justice Center, and the Southern Environmental Law Center sued the administration because McCrory’s staff doesn’t answer public records requests in a timely manner, as required by state law.

It hasn’t gotten better: between March and August, this reporter made eight records requests to the governor’s communications director. Only one has been fulfilled. An example: Progress NC rented out the Executive Mansion for a Garden Party Against Hate on July 13. But a few hours before the event was about to start, the administration abruptly canceled it, citing the political nature of the event. The INDY requested records related to that cancellation two days later. We’re still waiting for a response. (INDY Week, July 13, 2016; INDY Week, October 12, 2016)

This year, McCrory signed HB 972, a bill that restricted body-camera footage so that a) only police could decide whether or not to show the footage to anyone, even if the person who requests it is on the recording; and b) the only way the footage can be released to the public is via court order. This, police accountability advocates say, undermines the very transparency and accountability body cams are supposed to foster. As ACLU policy counsel Susanna 16 | 10.26.16 | INDYweek.com

MCCRORY & GOOD GOVERNANCE

57.

The administration of McCrory, who once said that “when the feds are investigating you, that is very, very serious,” has been investigated by the feds over the governor’s relationship with Duke, expensive contracts at the DHHS, and the aforementioned Graeme Keith prison contract. Those investigations ended without charges being brought. (WNCN, October 31, 2010; N&O, September 25, 2015; N&O, October 30, 2015)

McCrory eliminated a tax credit that helped bring film productions to North Carolina, which hit Wilmington especially hard. Between 2014 and 2015, Wilmington Film Commission director Johnny Griffin told the INDY earlier this year, the industry’s contribution to the local economy dropped from $170 million to $90 million.

In August, McCrory replaced film posters at the Department of Administration with a poster bearing an image of a smiling McCrory with the text, “Teacher Pay to $50K.” (INDY Week, August 31, 2016; Raleigh Agenda, August 25, 2016)

59.

Twice in McCrory’s tenure, the U.S. Department of Agriculture threatened to withdraw funding from the state, citing the DHHS’s failure to get food stamp benefits to needy families in a timely fashion.

“The State’s chronically poor performance in timeliness is in direct conflict with application processing statutory and regulatory provisions meant to protect a low-income household’s right to receive nutrition assistance in a timely manner,” a USDA administrator wrote to the DHHS in 2015.

McCrory, who won in 2012 thanks, in part, to more than sixty thousand votes along the I-77 corridor, supported putting toll lanes on that interstate.

In 2015, McCrory signed a bill that sought to ensure a Republican majority on the N.C. Supreme Court—which, in turn, would create one less check on the legislature’s far-right ambitions—through the invention of a retention election for conservative justice Robert Edmunds, meaning he would face no opponent. Under the law, had a majority of voters declined to retain Edmunds, McCrory would have picked his replacement. A state court ruled that bill unconstitutional, and earlier this year, in a 3–3 deadlock (Edmunds abstained), the N.C. Supreme Court declined to overrule it.

McCRORY & DONALD

62.

McCrory stayed neutral in the Republican primary, but on June 7 he endorsed Trump. This despite the lita-

ny of terrible things Donald Trump had said: implying a Mexican judge couldn’t be impartial, suggesting we ban Muslims from entering the country, saying there needs to be some form of “punishment” for women who get abortions, etc. (WRAL, June 7, 2016)

63.

McCrory not only supported Trump, he also appeared with him at rallies, including a July 25 Winston-Salem rally and an August event in Wilmington.

During his speech in Wilmington, Trump said, “If [Clinton] gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know.” Many observers saw this as Trump hinting at Clinton’s assassination.

McCrory blamed Clinton: “I don’t think anyone in the auditorium even recognized there was controversy until Hillary Clinton tweets came out and made it into a controversy.” In fact, there was an outcry on Twitter well before the Clinton campaign joined the fray. (The New York Times, August 9, 2016; N&O, August 11, 2016)

64.

After a tape surfaced in which Trump said that, because he was famous, he could do anything to women, including “grab ’em by the pussy,” McCrory, who has said both that he signed HB 2 to protect women and that he found Trump’s comments “disgusting,” still backed him.

(WRAL, October 9, 2016)

Like Trump, McCrory has consistently said there’s no system to vet Syrian refugees. He was one of about two dozen governors to ask the federal government to stop sending them Syrian refugees after the attack in Paris last November. He’s wrong: refugee vetting is done by multiple federal agencies as well as the United Nations and takes up to two years. (The Charlotte Observer, November 16, 2015; Politifact, June 13, 2016)

In an October 11 debate, McCrory was asked if Trump was a role model.

McCrory initially said no, but when pressed, responded with this doozy: “I think what makes him a role model is, uh, where he does stand strong on certain issues that need to be said, especially from outside Washington, D.C.” What does that even mean?

Mind the Gap WHO DOES FARM-TO-TABLE FEED?

BY MATT HARTMAN

The Eddy Pub in Saxapahaw is not trying to rip you off by charging twelve dollars for a burger, says owner Claire Haslam.

She explains that the restaurant she and her partner opened in the renovated mill at the center of Saxapahaw’s development boom, the one they describe as a “central gathering place for the community,” aims to build a model that’s economically viable for everyone—including farmers and their staff.

“We’re here supporting the locals, and they come in and support us,” she says.

This refrain is familiar to anyone who buys locally grown food in the Triangle. But given that inequality has grown alongside the Triangle’s food scene, invocations of community at hip restaurants and upscale markets can often seem grounded in questionable trickle-down thinking—less “let them eat cake” and more “if we eat enough cake, we’ll eventually create a market for bread.” To ensure an equitable local food economy, the farm-to-table model must include the Triangle’s low-income residents.

So far, attempts to accomplish this goal have fallen short.

Eating out is an inherently exclusive activity. A national USDA survey found that households that earn above 185 percent of the poverty level spend almost three times as much at restaurants as those that receive SNAP, and almost twice as much as the working poor. That doesn’t even account for which restaurants these families patronize; the difference would surely be even starker for high-end farm-to-table eateries.

According to advocates, the true community impact of restaurants doesn’t stem from serving customers directly. “Farmto-table offers a model for infrastructure development,” says Ann Meletzke, executive director of Healthy Alamance, a nonprofit focused on public health and food access.

“While a restaurant is attracting customers from all over the place with varying perspectives on food, it opens the door to relationships between farms and consumers.”

Eliza MacLean, who is famed for her pas18 | 10.26.16 | INDYweek.com

PHOTO BY ALEX BOERNER ture-raised pork at Cane Creek Farm, says her connection to sourcing-conscious restaurants like Lantern helped provide direct sales revenue as well as a marketing boost from the farm’s connection to the acclaimed restaurant. MacLean leveraged that success; she transitioned to selling whole animals to Saxapahaw’s Left Bank Butchery and operating a mobile butcher shop at the Carrboro Farmers’ Market—ensuring that consumers had access to her products without having to go to a restaurant.

Still, farmers markets aren’t cheap, and most attract a rather homogenous demographic. One common method of bringing

in lower-income patrons is a “double bucks” program, a version of which launched at the Carrboro Farmers’ Market in 2010 and has since spread to farmers markets in Durham and Raleigh. It offers two dollars of farmersmarket goods for every one dollar of SNAP benefits, up to ten dollars per market. A 2014 USDA report found that programs like this significantly increase SNAP recipients’ shopping at farmers markets.

Nevertheless, consumers spend most of their benefits at large grocery stores, both for cost-effective pricing and the ease of buying all their goods in one conveniently located place. The Rural Advancement

Foundation International (RAFI), based in Pittsboro, found that in 2013 a mere .006 percent of SNAP benefits statewide were redeemed at farmers markets.

“The expansion of farmers markets is not doing anything for the poor,” says Lance Barton, former eastern regional director of the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina. “I would question whether it’s having much of an economic impact on Walmart or Food Lion, which is where your low-income family is going to shop.”

Farm-to-table advocates are looking beyond farmers markets for solutions. Food hubs, like Durham’s Firsthand Foods, buy

from local growers and distribute to retail outlets, creating efficiencies that allow locally grown food to be distributed more widely. The focus still isn’t on getting goods into Walmart, but rather on specialty stores like the Durham Co-op, which do address some of the shortcomings of farmers markets. Along with selling non-food essentials like toilet paper, the co-op implements foodaccess programs that offer low-priced staple foods, benefits to SNAP recipients, and even weekly three-dollar dinners at the hot bar.

“We work as hard as we can to make accessible pricing available to all of our customers,” says Durham Co-op general manager Leila Woolfrum.

Those efforts make co-op prices competitive on some goods, but large grocery stores still provide the most food for the least money. In August, the featured local milk, eggs, flour, and sweet potatoes at the co-op cost 25 to 100 percent more than at the nearby Harris Teeter and Food Lion.

And Food Lion’s sweet potatoes were even North Carolina grown.

Farm-to-table projects like the NC 10% Campaign try to increase demand for local food by working to bring it into places like university cafeterias. But that approach does not address the underlying issue: the value proposition of locally grown food is that it is a boutique item.

“I’m producing food for an upscale model.

I’m selling to people who have money,” says Saxapahaw farmer and Carolina Farm Stewardship Association board member Tony Gaddis.

Gaddis, who sells exclusively to restaurants, may be more frank than most farmers, but he’s not alone. There really are two distinct markets for food: a high-end one for locally grown (and often organic) goods, and a conventional, mass-produced one that provides the most food for most residents. “I don’t know if I’d go so far as to say farm-totable created that,” says former RAFI organizer Kavita Koppa, “but it certainly pushed it forward.”

Gaddis says the programs only go so far to address this shortcoming, and that the current paradigm requires substantive change.

He advocates for more medium-size farms, which could operate on a different pricing model, and a community farming model to supplement his own.

Standing in the way of implementing such new models are obstacles far beyond the scope of farmers, restaurateurs, and nonprofits—things like food deserts, land prices, gentrification, cultural differences. Trying to ensure living wages for farmers and staff at grocery stores complicates the situation further. But the existence of these problems shouldn’t be taken as an argument that current food access programs are sufficient.

A Tree Grows in Raleigh

ROOTS TORN OUT BY WAR AND REPLANTED HERE BEAR “JEWELS OF PROSPERITY” FOR LOCAL ARAB-AMERICANS

BY VICTORIA BOULOUBASIS A few straggling pomegranates from the late-summer harvest still hang on a tree outside Neomonde in Raleigh. The small fruits are sparse now, outnumbered by the shocking flutter of vermilion blossoms peeking through dense, tiny leaves.

Samir Saleh, the restaurant’s owner, plucks a flower, leaving a stem that will later take root in a cup of water. He mentions his father, Fahd Saleh, who planted the tree outside the restaurant twenty years ago.

“He would always have a clipper in his back pocket,” Samir says. “Always! That was his favorite tool.”

The elder Saleh died in 2007. Samir recalls his father’s hands, rugged and worn from his passions for construction and landscaping.

Fahd grew up in a village in northern Lebanon called Mazraat Toufah. Fittingly, the name translates to “apple orchard.”

“Right after World War II, gardening and cultivation was a must,” Samir says. “There was a famine, and so people had to learn. My father took gardening seriously. When he got here he was aching for a conducive space so he could create a garden.”

Samir came to North Carolina in 1974 to continue his studies in engineering. By 1976, the Lebanese civil war had already started, forcing Fahd to follow his son to Raleigh with his wife, Cecilia, and the rest of their children.

For Fahd, fruit trees and herb gardens were a cathartic way to make sense of the world. He had slipped grafts of Lebanese pomegranate and fig trees, sprigs of mint attached to their roots, through the more lenient American airport security of the 1970s. Because he often worked landscape jobs for Raleigh’s growing community of Arab-Americans, Fahd “would not ask,” says Samir, to plant these three treasures in his friends’ backyards. He just did it.

One of those friends was his doctor, Mazen Hamad. Through Fahd’s offer to landscape the doctor’s backyard, they developed a bighearted friendship rooted in common Arabic culture (Mazen is from Syria) and a love of fresh food. From the same Lebanese graft 20 | 10.26.16 | INDYweek.com

Pomegranates grow in Raleigh from a tree grafted in Lebanon. PHOTO BY BEN MCKEOWN that grew into a shrub outside of Neomonde, Fahd planted a pomegranate tree in Mazen’s yard that has grown twelve feet in as many years.

The pomegranate is venerated as a jewel of prosperity in various cultures of the Middle East and Mediterranean. It represents fertility and hope, and reveals fortune in major religious texts, including the Qur’an and the Old Testament. In the Greek myth of Persephone, it symbolized a change in season and entering another world.

Pomegranates aren’t supposed to thrive in humid climates, like the American South in summer. According to the North Carolina Cooperative Extension, they don’t “fruit reliably” here. But unlike the ornamental trees found in neighborhood nooks across the Triangle, with tiny fruit that stays green to light pink, the pomegranates in Mazen’s yard are the majestic ruby orbs of divine stories.

Fahd, an expert gardener, planted the tree at the perfect slope in Mazen’s yard, giving it the full drainage capacity it has needed to prosper. Mazen calls it his orphan tree; the

others he has tried to graft and plant since Fahd’s death have not survived.

The tree reminds Mazen of his youth in Syria. When it began fruiting seventy to a hundred pomegranates a season, his sister advised him to store them in the refrigerator, which preserves them for up to a year.

After giving them to as many friends, colleagues, and patients as he can, Mazen still has enough left to fill two refrigerator drawers and nearly two more shelves.

The rest fill a large bowl at the center of his dinner table, which, like his home, is open to anyone. Meals from breakfast through dinner incorporate pomegranate seeds and attract a varied cast of guests, including the Duke medical students whom he teaches.

Mazen, a general practitioner, was born in Hama, Syria, where pomegranate trees were the centerpiece of family courtyards. The youngest of nine siblings, Mazen helped his mother and her friends juice pomegranates to boil down into molasses. He sat on the floor, picking at the flesh around the seeds, and juiced until his hands were stained.

In 1982, his hometown experienced one of the bloodiest massacres in history under the Assad family regime. Historical accounts vary, since journalists weren’t allowed into the city. But in a matter of weeks, as many as 40,000 people were killed by the dictatorship.

“Hama was the epicenter of turmoil in Syria, hell on earth,” Mazen recalls. “So after a while, you didn’t see males like my age. You saw women, small children, and you didn’t see anybody smile. Everybody lost somebody.”

Once a thoroughfare for all major cultures and civilizations, Syria is a proud, ancient country, credited with creating the alphabet and known for the ancient food mecca of Aleppo. But it has been ransacked by the Assad family regime, leading to the current war and flood of refugees to other countries.

Mazen, who has practiced medicine for twenty years, travels to Turkey biannually to treat Syrian refugees.

“These are war injuries on civilians that I’ve never seen in my life—arms shattered, gunshot wounds to the spine, to the head, a kid with half a femur gone,” he says. “What you hear on the news here is a blip.”

Mazen and Saleh both fled wars and established themselves as leaders in Raleigh’s Arab-American community. Together, they fostered an unlikely friendship. Samir says his father was a kind man, but a stubborn one.

“He was loving, but very forward,” Samir says, laughing. “What was in his heart or gut was also on the tip of his tongue. Sometimes that got him in trouble.”

Mazen viewed Fahd as a father figure— especially when they shared food.

“It’s the Middle Eastern way,” he says. He mentions a saying in Arabic, phonetically spelled beinatnah khubz wa milh. It translates as “between us, bread and salt.”

Arab culture—an amalgam of countries, faiths, and dialects—apprehends a common truth: if you share the basic needs of bread and salt, you are connected forever, no matter what. And like the pomegranate, the culture prospers. vbouloubasis@indyweek.com

HERCULES VS. VAMPIRES

Sunday, Oct. 30, 3 p.m., $26–$49 Meymandi Concert Hall, Raleigh www.ncopera.org

Vampire Weekend

ILLUSTRATION BY STEVE OLIVA

A MYTHIC HERO EMBARKS ON AN OPERATIC ADVENTURE WITH BLOODSUCKERS AND OTHER BEASTS BY ALLISON HUSSEY Ghouls, monsters, and other creatures abound this time of year, and this weekend, they make their way to Meymandi Concert Hall for N.C. Opera’s adventurous presentation of Hercules vs. Vampires. The company started its 2016–17 season strong in September with Wagner’s Das Rheingold, but Los Angeles composer Patrick Morganelli’s work veers in a decidedly less traditional direction.

The basis of the program is director Mario Bava’s cult sword-and-sandals film from 1961, Hercules in the Haunted World, which is screened behind the production's singers.

The epic hero must save his Princess Deinira, who has lost her mind in an unspecified way, recalling Ghostbusters’ spirit-stricken Dana in “only Zuul” mode. The villain, Lico, wants to drink her blood to usurp her power.

The piece began as a commission for the Portland Symphony, which premiered it in 2010; Morganelli revised it for a 2015 iteration with a larger orchestra in Los Angeles.

Sunday’s show in Raleigh is its East Coast premiere. The city might not be on most peo-

ple’s minds as an opera destination, but Morganelli says that N.C. Opera’s programming speaks for itself beyond state lines.

“Once upon a time, even though you always had some very serious operas, opera was very much considered entertainment. North Carolina Opera really understands that,” Morganelli says. “They want to produce the great, serious works and do them extremely well. But they understand that opera should also be entertainment, and it shouldn’t be a homework assignment for people.”

N.C. Opera’s artistic and creative director, Tim Myers, tapped his friend Shawn Galvin to conduct the production. Galvin co-leads New Music Raleigh and has participated in most of of N.C. Opera’s performances since he moved to the Triangle in 2008. But Hercules vs. Vampires finds Galvin conducting the N.C. Opera for the first time, a position he says is a natural extension of his investment in new works by living composers.

As Galvin points out, it’s common for orchestras and other institutions to re-cre-

ate film scores alongside movies—in fact, Duke Performances is doing so Saturday night with Alejandro Iñárritu’s Birdman (see p. 29). But Morganelli’s feat, Galvin says, reaches another level of artistry, with an entirely new score and libretto that precisely matches the film’s action from moment to moment.

“Part of the brilliance of what Patrick did with this score is that he meticulously timed the live vocal parts that you’ll hear in the performance to exactly when the actors in the original film are opening their mouths,” Galvin says.

“It was far and away, technically, the most difficult project I’ve ever worked on,” Morganelli adds.

The film itself is a strange, visually striking romp through ancient Greece and the underworld, and the era’s practical effects add another level of intrigue and comedy to Hercules’s plot. If it’s not quite a tale for the ages, it’s a good one for a Sunday afternoon. ahussey@indyweek.com

BEFORE SERIAL, THERE WAS CRIMINAL, A LOCAL PODCAST PROBING THE DARKER SIDE OF HUMAN NATURE

BY ZACK SMITH

the crime angle—she says she figured they’d never run out of stories—and they spent several months developing the series on nights and weekends.

The biggest challenge, Judge says, was developing the voice of the podcast, finding a way to make sure “all the parts matched.”

When the show premiered in January 2014, Judge says the first episode received “about fifty downloads, and I thought that was pretty good. It meant more people than just our friends and families were listening.”

That number has grown to thousands per episode, enough to let Judge and Spohrer quit their day jobs at WUNC to work on the series full time. Though they premiered Criminal before Serial helped make truecrime podcasts trendy, they’re quick to credit it with bringing attention to their series.

“Serial didn’t just help crime podcasts,

it helped put podcasting on the map,” Judge says.

Even now, when Criminal’s voice is sure, crafting a story is a complex task. Spohrer says they ultimately reject about 98 percent of the stories they explore for the show.

“When we pitch a story, we always start with the person we most want to talk to for it,” she says. What follows is a process of research, fact-checking, and, sometimes, multiple interviews. Spohrer and other producers often pre-interview subjects before Judge talks to them so that the conversation will be vetted, but also fresh and unrehearsed.

The interviews are recorded at WUNC and then transcribed to form the backbone of a nar-

rated script, followed by a grueling process of edits to get everything as tight as possible.

“There’s a lot of swearing that doesn’t make it into the show,” Judge says. “The smooth feel is not easily achieved.” Criminal avoids melodrama and dramatic suspense to deliver stories from a detached, observational perspective. This “quiet” style, as Judge calls it, keeps the focus on the subjects and stories, which often originate in Durham, where Judge and Spohrer both live.

“The story we did about Sandie Alger at TROSA really stayed with me,” Spohrer says.

“We see TROSA trucks and signs all around Durham, and every time I see one now, I think of Sandie and her story.”

“We were intrigued by the idea of not doing a podcast out of New York or Los Angeles, and potentially making stories from the South part of the program,” Judge says. “Life is easier, in some ways, in North Carolina, certainly in the Triangle. We thought, let’s stay here, away from the fray of everyone else trying to make a podcast, and just put our heads down and work.”

Illustration for Criminal

In an ordinary recording studio at WUNC, a group of very nice, soft-spoken people report on the darkest, strangest parts of human nature. Criminal, the podcast that recently celebrated its fiftieth episode, has garnered a sizeable following since its launch in early 2014. Through research and interviews, it presents the stories of people—many of them from North Carolina—who’ve “done wrong, been wronged, or gotten caught somewhere in the middle.”

The subjects featured at a live show at Motorco last year included a woman who assists people in ending their own lives, a mysteriously expanding neighborhood shrine, and a Greensboro man trying to figure out who was threatening his family with anonymous notes. The show’s appeal lies in its inquisitive, matter-of-fact examination of these stories and the journalistic distance with which they are presented.

“It’s not our place to make moral judgments, good or bad,” says host Phoebe Judge, an accomplished public-radio journalist you might have heard on The State of Things. “Our job is to put forth the information in a way that’s as clear and concise and compelling as possible, and let you decide for yourself what you think. It’s an honor for someone to tell us their story. That’s our question: Have we done this guest’s story justice?”

Criminal posts a new episode every two weeks; they can be streamed or downloaded through outlets like iTunes and the podcast’s website, www.thisiscriminal.com. It recently embarked on a live tour that includes a hometown show at the Carolina Theatre on Thursday, presented in tandem with Motorco Music Hall.

Criminal has earned acclaim from outlets such as The New York Times, Wired, and the Huffington Post, which declared it “the best new radio show in America.” The success is particularly meaningful to Judge and producer Lauren Spohrer, who began developing the idea after the public-radio series they worked on, The Story with Dick Gordon, was canceled in 2013.

On Task

AFTER TAKING OVER GLOBAL THEATERS, TRISHA BROWN DANCE COMPANY RETURNS TO ALTERNATIVE SITES

BY MICHAELA DWYER

T

risha Brown’s 1973 piece Sticks is a prime example of the choreographer’s early repertoire.

It’s task-based; it takes place off the proscenium stage, and it unfolds through a set of deceptively simple spatial options.

One end of a ten-foot-long stick is placed against the base of a wall, the other on a dancer’s head. Facing the wall, that dancer “moves forward, maintaining the original angle of the stick, until the head is wedged in between the stick and the floor.”

The dance unfolds until the task is complete, but a lot can happen in the interim: the angle breaks, the stick drops. All dancers breathe and find their balance differently.

When Trisha Brown Dance Company performs Sticks outdoors, wind is a concern.

At Milwaukee’s Lynden Sculpture Garden two years ago, the audience enclosed the dancers in a tight circle to block the breeze. “[Brown] came up with the most incredibly simple but rigorous ideas,” says Carolyn Lucas, an associate artistic director of the company. “You can feel everyone in the audience wanting them not to drop their sticks.”

Sticks is part of the company’s current touring program, In Plain Site, which brings the seventy-nine-year-old choreographer’s early works and excerpts from her proscenium pieces to all kinds of nontraditional venues, from an old archery range to an empty art museum.

This weekend, the company concludes a weeklong residency at Duke with shows at Duke Gardens and the Nasher Museum of Art (visit the Duke Performances website for times). The visit is also a part of South Arts’ Dance Touring Initiative, a three-year push to bolster engagement with modern dance and contemporary ballet in the South.

Like the Merce Cunningham Dance Foundation’s Legacy Plan, In Plain Site is part of a blueprint for preserving Brown’s work after her illness-related exit from the company in 2009.

How does a dance company go on when a director with “such a specific vision” no longer presides over it? In Plain Site, broadly conceived, is proving to be a capacious container—or perhaps, a bloodline—for carrying forward Brown’s movement, which looks fluid but is highly rigorous. The format allows dancers and audience members to dissect the works up close, in new spaces, and to see the phrases in smaller pieces and different

spatial relationships.

“Trisha often choreographed each section of a dance with the same intensity as the whole work,” Lucas says. “There are certain excerpts that feel quite satisfying and complete just in seeing an idea taken out on its own.”

In a way, it’s a return to form. Audiences can get as close to Brown’s work as they could in the sixties and seventies, before she transitioned to large theaters as she became

world-famous. This flexible, intimate restaging of seminal works invites curiosity, play, and interaction—a lively way to make sure Brown’s important work goes on.

L

ucas calls In Plain Site “a complete reference to Trisha’s history,” especially as regards site-specific work.

In the 1960s, Brown worked with the now-legendary Judson Dance Theater in New York. The collective, which also

TRISHA BROWN DANCE COMPANY: IN PLAIN SITE Friday, Oct. 28–Sunday, Oct. 30, various times, $10–$32 Sarah P. Duke Gardens | The Nasher Museum of Art, Durham www.dukeperformances.duke.edu

"Trisha often choreographed each section with the same intensity as the whole work." included Yvonne Rainer and Twyla Tharp, experimented with improvisation and everyday movement. Rainer’s 1965 No Manifesto famously documented an antidecorative ethos: “No to spectacle. No to virtuosity.”

The titles of Brown’s works from the late sixties and early seventies describe sites, objects, and actions: Falling Duet (I), Roof Piece, Man Walking Down the Side of a Building, Sticks. They took place in galleries and on rooftops, materializing across the canopy of New York’s downtown art scene.

Brown’s first proscenium work was 1979’s Glacial Decoy; American Dance Festival audiences saw Stephen Petronio Company take it on last summer. It makes full use of theatrical space, hinting toward the increasingly expansive proscenium works that defined Brown’s career from the 1980s onward.

Glacial Decoy is known as one of Brown’s landmark pieces, but it wasn’t her work alone. Robert Rauschenberg projected a black-and-white landscape to create an evolving backdrop. In fact, Brown collaborated with many kinds of artists.

Laurie Anderson and John Cage composed music for a couple of pieces; Donald Judd, Nancy Graves, and Fujiko Nakaya contributed set and costume design. Brown herself is known for her sculptural drawings, and she made films.

“She was thinking about all the ways dance is experienced,” says Duke Performances associate director Eric Oberstein. The Duke Performances residency, during which former company members have workshopped with Duke students and local dancers, culminates in a free symposium as well as the In Plain Site performances.

“Accumulations: Exploring the Legacies of

Trisha Brown,” headed by Duke professor Thomas DeFrantz, takes place at the Nasher from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. It will bring together company members, dance researchers, and practitioners in a wideranging interdisciplinary conversation about Brown’s work.

There should be a lot to talk about: “Sitespecific” is an expansive, ambiguous term with a complicated history. It’s not uncommon for site work—whether in the 1960s or our post-recession times—to emerge, in part, from the financial hardships of booking traditional theaters. But many foundational site-specific choreographers, including Brown, went on to become dance stars, touring proscenium work around the world.

The Nasher and Duke Gardens are perhaps more porous to the community outside of the university than are its theaters, and part of the intent in placing work there is to encourage attunement to the landscape. The idea is also connected to a local dance climate that emphasizes getting out of formal settings to engage new audiences; for evidence, look no further than the current season of Durham Independent Dance Artists.

Choosing which of Brown’s ninety-odd works to perform at a given site requires balancing unexpected factors in the days, hours, or minutes leading up to the performance. Are the surfaces covered with grass or concrete? How close can dancers get to the artwork? Is there enough room for people to comfortably gather? Lucas has a few ideas, not yet conclusive, for the Nasher performance. In the Duke Gardens program, audiences will move from the lawn to the terrace to see the solo Locus, and then to the pond to see dancers perform Group Primary Accumulation on rafts.

“How do we break down that barrier between performer and audience?” says Oberstein. “[We want to] get people thinking, how can I experience art in an everyday setting in my community?”

This is where In Plain Site necessarily diverges from Rainer’s deadpan manifesto, which eventually declares, “No to involvement of performer or spectator.”

When a company goes on without its creator, that kind of involvement might partially constitute the artwork itself, and even help keep it alive. calendar@indyweek.com INDYweek.com | 10.26.16 | 25

INNOVATIVE SOCIAL ARTIST STACEY L. KIRBY BRINGS TOP HONORS—AND TWO HUNDRED GRAND— BACK TO DURHAM FROM ARTPRIZE 2016 BY CHRIS VITIELLO In September, Durham artist Stacey L. Kirby drove a jam-packed fifteen-foot truck to Grand Rapids, Michigan, to install her interactive installation The Bureau of Personal Belonging at the annual ArtPrize festival. After having life-changing conversations with thousands of visitors, Kirby drove home three weeks later with a $200,000 check.

Uniting several of Kirby’s projects, which open dialogues about community, civil rights, LGBTQ rights, and belonging, the installation took top honors among more than 1,400 artists from more than forty countries.

Throughout the stations of the “bureau,” which looks like a 1970s office, performers playing bureaucrats help visitors validate their identities by filling out custom forms.

For the first part of ArtPrize, local Kirby collaborators such as Heather Gordon, Harriet Hoover, and Warren Hicks performed in the work. But then, members and allies of the Grand Rapids-area LGBTQ community joined in. Kirby is donating a substantial portion of her prize money to Equality NC, a statewide organization that advocates for LGBTQ rights. We recently spoke with her about the overwhelming sense of community she feels in Bureau.

INDY: The Bureau of Personal Belonging combines several interactive installations.

How did they come together at ArtPrize?

STACEY L. KIRBY: There were like twenty office spaces in my venue, and ArtPrize— which is an amazing organization—said I could use as many as I wanted. So I focused on the lobby area, a hallway, and four rooms for the individual projects. One was The Declaration Project, [in which participants “declare” their physical and conceptual possessions]. One was the Archives, where you file your cards and there are files from old projects, as well as things that people can interact with, like typewriters. And then there’s the Civil Validation Office of VALIDnation [in which participants state their family and community memberships], 26 | 10.26.16 | INDYweek.com

maybe five percent of the people who came through, but they are always the people that stick out, because you think something might shift or some difference might happen for them, and maybe they’ll think about it later.

That’s why I really like things like ArtPrize and SPARKcon and other events where I’m out in the general public on the street. You get so many different types of people, and you have these moments where you see their lightbulb go on—or your own lightbulb.

Stacey L. Kirby (center) in The Bureau of Personal Belonging and the Facility Permit Office of I AM [in which participants’ identities are certified to use the restrooms]. There was also a “training room” that was an afterthought, a side thing—people could look through a little window into it, with a projection screen and some maps and chairs. And there was a “complaints bureau” that we came up with kind of on the spot, too.

What kinds of reactions did people have?

Harriet Hoover was at the front, greeting people and getting them to sign in with their name and the date and their identity.

So people are just writing whatever word or phrase they want to use to identify themselves. Which sounds really easy, but some of the people attending ArtPrize had never thought about what their identity is.

Harriet did a great job of setting the tone. If a participant didn’t know what to write, she would ask questions and throw out examples: Are you a mother? A daughter? Are you a knitter? Do you do gymnastics? How do you

navigate your life and who are you?

What kinds of responses did that elicit?

We found some patterns in people’s responses—they would look at what the person before them wrote and write the same thing: “Christian,” et cetera. I found this when I did this at CAM Raleigh, too. You look down the page and see the same words. And then you flip the page and whoever starts at the beginning sets the tone for a lot of the people signing in beneath them. What I want to do is make people sit in that uncomfortable space where they have to figure it out on their own but they’re looking for cues.

What do you think visitors' takeaway was?

Well, it runs the whole gamut. The majority of people, I would say, leave feeling empowered and excited and validated. I issued restroom facility permits; they got a sticker that says “I am human,” and they felt connected and supported. They felt heard. But there are also the people who felt frustrated. This was

Tell me about an interaction that stood out.

Heather helped a mother and daughter in the Civil Validation Office. I have a tree of rubber stamps with identity language that people have used over the years—queer, gaywad, lesbo, pansexual. These are all terms people have used to describe themselves. It’s not name-calling.

This mother and daughter are stamping their cards and the daughter picks up the “Bi” stamp and stamps it on her card. And her mother is like, “Why did you stamp that? What does that mean?” The daughter says, “Bisexual.” And her mother asks, “Why did you stamp it bisexual?” “Because I am bisexual.” This girl came out to her mom right in front of Heather during that performance.

That’s the kind of stuff I’ve been experiencing throughout my work for years.

It’s so—appropriately enough—validating to have other people experience it too, for them to realize that this is the kind of space that we’re holding for everyone.

Bureau happened to fall in the heart of an incredibly contentious election season.

Did that political climate provide you with any new insights about your work?

I think there are interesting avenues that this work could go to, and not just in an art context but in a civil rights context. We’re so used to typical activism, like letter writing and phone calling. This is a different opening for the conversation around human rights in this country, and I love being a part of that.

Saturday Nov. 12

MEMBERS IN FREE before 9pm

An angry orange man with tiny hands may be trying to convince the American public that a wall should keep immigrants out of a country founded by immigrants, but Guatemalan singer Gaby Moreno knows what’s up. In “Fronteras,” she meanders, winding through a humming intro to verses in Spanish (“I smile, I dance”), and arrives at a triumphant refrain in English: “This is where I belong!” Moreno’s thoughtful songs range from pop hits (like a duet with Guatemalan star Ricardo Arjona) to gospel-backed R&B. Though she’s often overtly political, with lyrics that warn the listener, “Save yourselves, those who can,” Moreno isn’t afraid to venture into pure fantasy: “I once had a vintage Ferrari, gave it to Jean Luc Godard.” During a dismal election season, she promises to delight. Austin rocker David Garza opens.

SUSSAN DEYHIM: THE HOUSE IS BLACK

THE OPEN HOUSE

It’s one of the bedrock principles of situation comedy: the situation never changes. But Will Eno’s 2014 play, The Open House, is closer to situation tragedy than comedy, and closer to deep-seated ambivalence than either. A family patriarch takes apart meaningless small talk and sentimental bromides before starting the real emotional stiletto work on his wife, son, and daughter. Dad’s decided the banality of family life is going to cease, and he’s taken steps to achieve just that. But what happens if he’s too successful? Manbites Dog Theater artistic director Jeff Storer directs a quintet including Michael Foley, Marcia Edmundson, and J Evarts.

—Byron Woods

Sussan Deyhim’s multimedia performance piece The House Is Black takes its title from the only film Forough Farrokhzad completed before her death, at age thirtytwo, in 1967. In a documentary about a leper colony in Iran, Farrokhzad contrasted the “ugliness” society saw there with the nobility she found. Before that, she had been a pioneer—and a lightning rod—in mid-century Iranian society. She lived independently after divorcing her husband in 1954, and in her feminist poetry she gave public voice and agency to the thoughts and desires of Iranian women, who had usually been objectified in print until then. For that achievement, her works were banned for a decade after the Islamic revolution. Deyhim uses film, music, and theater in a visionary staging of Farrokhzad’s controversial poetry, exploring the enduring legacy of one of the founders of the Iranian New Wave. —Byron Woods

ANTONIO SANCHEZ: BIRDMAN FILM + LIVE SCORE

In February, Duke Performances packed Reynolds Industries Theater for a live score of the whimsical animated film The Triplets of Belleville.

This weekend, the presenter gives the same treatment to Birdman, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s 2014 Oscar winner about a washed-up actor—played by Michael Keaton, lampooning his Batman background—who’s trying to mount a Broadway comeback after decades of being recognized only as a superhero character. Part of the film’s brilliance stemmed from its score, written by jazz percussionist Antonio Sanchez, who took home a Grammy for it. His dynamic playing masterfully highlights the tense undercurrents of the backstage drama; his kit sometimes seems like a character in the film, narrating the protagonist’s inner strife. Don’t be surprised if you end up watching the drummer more than the movie. —Allison Hussey DUKE’S REYNOLDS INDUSTRIES THEATER, DURHAM | 8 p.m., $10–$38, www.dukeperformances.duke.edu

ARTFREAK DANCE PARTY

Photographer Wes Naman is famed for his jarring portraits of subjects whose faces are contorted by layers of invisible tape, and he’ll be present at NCMA’s ARTFREAK dance party to make things extra freaky.

At this pre-Halloween warmup, attendees will have the chance to be immortalized with the Naman treatment or test their drawing skills with Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School. DJ Forge will be jockeying danceable beats, and you can fuel up with food trucks and a cash bar. If you don’t want to wait for the dance party at 8:30, show up at 5:30 for a “Hoppy Hour” with a Moogfest-curated soundtrack that will play amid Australian artist Amanda Parer’s short-run outdoor exhibit of giant, glowing, inflatable rabbits. The admission price also gets you into Rolling Sculpture, the museum’s exhibit of vintage Art Deco cars.

EFIRD/WESTERLUND

The creative lives of dancer Carson Efird and percussionist Joe Westerlund first intersected a decade ago at Bennington College, a tiny liberal arts school in Vermont. Since then, Westerlund has made his name with Megafaun and on the road with Califone, while Efird has continued to hone her unique crafts as a dancer and a yoga teacher. In 2013, Westerlund scored Efird’s dance piece I Am Come for You, and the official recording, the two-part Mojave Interlude, was released by Northern Spy Records earlier this month. This performance in Durham marks the Triangle premiere of both pieces. Joining the pair is Reflex Arc, another music-and-dance duo, which features Robert “Crowmeat Bob” Pence and Ginger Wagg, and Westerlund will open the show with a solo percussion set.

THU, OCT 27 Greyhounds RIGHT-ON With this year’s RETRO soul-leaning Change of Pace, Greyhounds are now two-thirds through a three-LP deal with Memphis’s famed Ardent Music (formerly Ardent Records).

Alan Jackson COUNTRY Somebody’s math is VET fuzzy, because Alan Jackson’s new box set purports to celebrate twenty-five years of music, but he had his first hit twenty-six years ago. Regardless, the country star has been around the block, and he’s never strayed from his new traditionalist mission. If anything, contrasted with country’s current crop, he seems more appealingly old-school than ever these days, even though he’s hardly changed his twang ‘n’ croon modus operandi a bit in all these years.

HALLOWEEN! For those interested in scaring up some seasonally appropriate musical merriment besides playing “Monster Mash” on loop, there’s a terrifying number of options around the Triangle. Halloween itself is on a Monday this year, but there are themed gigs spread across the weekend to accommodate all your chills and thrills. whether your preferences tend toward live bands or deejayed dance parties.

On Friday, The Dinwiddies—an alter-ego supergroup featuring members of Annuals, Lollipops, and other local acts—puts on a special “Halloweed” edition of Neptunes’ Fall Friday Show Series, with a DJ set following its odes to getting higher than Elvira’s hair. If that’s got you craving some munchies, Southland Ballroom hosts the second edition of Bacon and Blacklights, which promises meat treats and UV-reactive decorations to accompany sets from Craeons, Mr. Monopoly, AtomikA, Mighty Mouze, and Unknown DJ. Saturday finds eclectic jam band BIG Something at Lincoln Theatre, where the Triad outfit throws its seventh-annual costume ball, supported by singersongwriter Zach Deputy’s soulful surfer vibes. City Limits hosts QDR’s fifteenth Howl-O-Ween Harvest Ball to benefit pet adoption and rescue; a surprise guest will join the triumvirate of twang formed

by Joe Nichols, A Thousand Horses, and William Michael Morgan. Though dubbed a Halloween dance party, Durham Artists Movement’s DAMtheNATION at The Pinhook is more of a variety night that also serves to raise funds for the inclusive arts nonprofit, slotting stand-up comedy and a drag show among performances by Catherine Edgerton, Kym Register, and Laila Nur, plus DJ sets from Gemynii Ade and Vespertine.

Surf rock, horror punk, and lo-fi blues collide at The Kraken, where Blood Red River joins The Independents and The Old One-Two. Go heavier at The Maywood, where Datura, Chaosmic, and Broadslab bring flavors of metal as varied as a well-stocked trick-or-treat bag, or with Deep South’s emo and punk-leaning Something Wicked bill. DJ Aviation Parkway leads a dance party at The Station, while The Beauty Operators bring wild roadhouse blues-rock to Blue

Sunday is largely quiet, save for the Black Magic Halloween Dance Party at Ruby Deluxe, but options abound on Monday. The inventive Pitchblak Brass Band plays with DOCO at The Pour House. Kings delivers a stacked lineup of psychedelic indie rock courtesy of Purling Hiss, Zack Mexico, and Acid Chaperone. The Tan & Sober Gentlemen throw down at The Station with two sets of rowdy Irish tunes. Rapper Machine Gun Kelly delivers dark, aggressive bars when he headlines The Ritz, while the P3 Halloween Bash at Cat’s Cradle Back Room offers a slate of under-the-radar local emcees. PULSE’s

Halloween-themed EDM show at Lincoln Theatre features Necrotic, Genki, Mt. Crushmore, Jason Wiggz, and Killtrak, while DJ Rang, DJ Forge, and PlayPlay spin at Motorco’s Paranormal Party. Scary-oke at The Cave allows you to overcome your stage fright or watch amateur performers ranging from frighteningly bad to scary good. Several of these events promise prizes to the best costumes, so check the details on the relevant show if you prefer to dress up.

The Dinwiddies WEEDAs shrouded in KEND mystery as the Bilderberg Group or the UVB-76 signal, local self-mythologizing garage rock outfit the Dinwiddies don’t have much to offer in the way of biographical information.

No biggie: its messianic weed-infused aura and power-pop riffage are a delight regardless. —DS [NEPTUNES PARLOUR, $5/11 P.M.]

The Hell No RALEIGH Raleigh hard rock RIFFAGE outfit The Hell No celebrates the release of its full-length debut. The band’s balance of brawny blues metal and classic rock hooks mines a sweet spot between Danzig’s dark riffs and Heart’s heavy pop.

They’re joined by Walpyrgus’s classic metal revival and The Seduction’s amped-up hard rock.

—BCR [KINGS, $7/9 P.M.]

FRI, OCT 28 B Rocka’s Halloween Show PROG-O- Though they’re just WEEN over a year old, tonight’s headliners, Stellar Circuits, earn the top spot with a slickly produced fusion of prog and hard rock that finds a groove between Coheed and Cambria’s emo-tinged drama and Tool’s swirling heaviness. Raleigh bands Aeonic and Seven Letter open with complementary fusions of melody and heft. —BCR [THE MAYWOOD, $8/9:30 P.M.]

The Horror Show: Tucson, Mallz ALL A It’s hard to get SCREAM excited about seven back-to-back hip-hop sets in one night, which is exactly what the holiday-themed Horror Show promises. Thankfully, the event packs a major punch at the top, with Triangle mainstays Tucson and Mallz, but to give each rapper enough action, even the headlining acts have relatively short sets. Letting Tu rip the mic for longer than just his twentyminute slot? Now that would be scary (in a good way). —RC [DEEP SOUTH, $5/10 P.M.]

The Bridge Trio JAZZ This New GROOVE Orleans-based group loves to groove. It’s a liquid groove that draws on jazz, hip-hop, R&B, and Afro-Cuban traditions propelled by drummer Joe Dyson and bassist Max Moran. Keyboardist Conun Pappas Jr. clearly loves Herbie Hancock and Robert Glaper, with thick chords and a love of keyboard effects. —DR [THE SHED, $15/8 P.M.]

Ian Hunter and The Rant Band

Clipping.

AIR ‘EM Perhaps you know OUT Hamilton, the hip-hop musical that’s having its moment this year. But take heed to Clipping., the Los Angeles hip-hop trio whose Daveed Diggs starred in it. His breakneck bars $10 advance are countered by elements of noise and rock that aren’t often found in the realm of rap. The sci-fi-inclined Splendor and Misery,

/

HOOPLE A glam-eminence HOP with a gracefully aged swagger, the former frontman of the great seventies English band Mott The Hoople is one of those beloved figures who puts a smile on the face of nearly any music fan. Along with first-tier classics $12 day of like “All The Way To Memphis” and “All The Young Dudes” (which his friend David Bowie originally wrote for Mott) look for Hunter to mix in numbers

from his strong recent solo record Fingers Crossed. Jeffrey Dean Foster opens. —TB [CAT’S CRADLE, $25–$28/8 P.M.]

Leo Kottke 12 STRING You’d need another DEMON set of hands to even get close to what Leo Kottke does with a guitar. Although his debut, 1969’s 12 String Blues, is highly regarded, 6 and 12 String Guitar, also known as the armadillo album, released later that same year, caused countless would-be guitar gods to hurl themselves against the wall in frustration.

Kottke’s twelve-string slide solo on 1974’s “Pamela Brown” finished off the survivors. —GB [THE ARTSCENTER, $36/8 P.M.]

Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver ‘GRASS Doyle Lawson BARON started out as a teen playing with bluegrass legend Jimmy Martin back in the early sixties, but this Bluegrass Hall of Famer has become a legend in his own right. Despite bluegrass going in and out fashion, the mighty mandolin man has stayed the course over the decades, remaining true to his roots while somehow still staying relevant. Of course, having a kick-ass band like Quicksilver behind him doesn’t hurt either. —JA [MOTORCO, $20–$25/8 P.M.]

Gaelynn Lea FIDDLE This Duluth, MARVEL Minnesota, musician has immersed herself in traditional fiddle music for decades. Abetted with a looping pedal, she’s developed a unique playing style, has worked with Low’s Alan Sparhawk, and is an advocate for those with physical disabilities. Singing and holding her violin like a cello, Lea leaves audiences moved and misty-eyed.

With Jess Klein. —DK [THE CAVE, $5/9 P.M.]

Phantogram LABELED Phantogram did it UP big. For a band that started as a bloggy aughts indietronica act à la The xx, Phantogram has managed to transfigure into an ambitious, radio-friendly electro-pop act of the sort that major labels are banking on. That said, the band isn’t nearly as lovable or musically interesting as it was in 2011. See recent single “You Don’t Get Me

High Anymore” which feels workshopped to get ad placements and/or appeal to kids who abuse drugs at festivals.

With The Range. —DS [THE RITZ, $25/8 P.M.] ALSO ON FRIDAY BEYÙ CAFFÈ: Benito Gonzalez; 8 & 10 p.m., $10. • THE KRAKEN: The Stars Explode, Canteen; 9 p.m. • LINCOLN THEATRE: Barcode: Live In The Trap; 9 p.m., $10. • MEYMANDI CONCERT HALL: NC Symphony: The Music of Star Wars; 7 p.m. • THE PINHOOK: Loamlands, Trophy Wife, Catherine Edgerton; 8 p.m., $12.

SAT, OCT 29 Danny Brown DETROIT Few artists in the IMPORT hip-hop landscape are as unique as Daniel Sewell, aka Danny Brown. As corny as the Chrysler slogan “Imported from Detroit” may be in relation to cars, it’s apt for the brash Motor City emcee, whose American origins belie a sound foreign enough to hail from another planet. While his shrill tone repels many, those who stick around are often rewarded for their time. The new album, Atrocity Exhibition, named Best New Music by Pitchfork, is just the latest example. Durham’s Professor Toon opens. —RC [CAT’S CRADLE, $22–$99/9 P.M.]

Genocide Pact BANG YR Before arriving in HEAD Washington, D.C., to drum for death metal purists Genocide Pact (as well as pounding the skins for crossover kings Red Death and fronting his own hardcore outfit, Protester), the heavy-hitting drummer Connor Donegan lent his concussive backing to scores of potent, if short-lived, Raleigh hardcore bands. Tonight, Donegan comes home as a headliner, with Genocide Pact’s brutal and brilliant Forged Through Domination released last year by the ascendant metal imprint A389. Chateau, Gorbash, and Life Alert open. —BCR [KINGS, $8/8:30 P.M.]

Switchfoot DARE U San Diego quintet TO MOVE Switchfoot has been churning out alt-rock for the better part of two decades. It may not claim the genre, but the group found early success in the Christian rock scene. Its major-label debut on Columbia Records in 2013 went double platinum and marked the band’s full transition to the mainstream.

Switchfoot is touring behind its new record, Where the Light Shines Through. With Relient K. —DEM [THE RITZ, $32/7:30 P.M.]

Tower of Power FUNK & For nearly fifty years, SOUL Tower of Power’s best work has represented something like a compromised position between Coltrane’s rough-edged bop and the hard funk of peak Sly Stone. First formed among the heady backdrop of the Bay Area’s late sixties Fillmore scene, the group has evolved into something of a freewheeling institution, whose revolving-door membership has seen as many as sixty members come and go. Currently touring as a ten-piece, Tower of Power’s horns remain a gale force to be reckoned with. —EB [CAROLINA THEATRE, $46–$77/8 P.M.]

Unknown Hinson ROCKA- There’s no better BILLY time than Halloween weekend to catch an Unknown Hinson show. After all, we’re talking about a guy who released an album called Live and Undead, established a rockabilly Dracula persona, and claims to have done time for both vampirism and graverobbing. He also lays down some mean, country-tinged rock ’n’ roll, with appropriately quirky lyrical themes. If The Cramps were still around, a team-up between the two would have made for the ultimate Halloween double bill.

Dune Dogs open. —JA [SOUTHLAND BALLROOM, $20–$25/9 P.M.]

Volume 19: Abstracta Audio DUB Jon Jerry, Gnutron, TECHNO Ladyfingers, Paul D, and Quench Inclusion are on tap at this kickoff party for techno label Abstracta Audio. Buoyant dub techno is largely the name of the game here, so expect deep

grooves from a number of small but promising producers, with other electronic ephemera mixed in. —DS [NIGHTLIGHT, $10/10 P.M.]

SUN, OCT 30 AVANT The name might be JAMS a mouthful, but Asheville avant-rock outfit Ahleuchatistas are nothing to be breezily dismissed. The band’s simple guitar-bass-drums setup does not suggest its absolute ferocity, which hasn’t diminished in force over many albums over the last decade. Think blistering noise rock freakouts, free jazz, and pointed political screeds. That the trio has notched releases on John Zorn’s Tzadik label only confirms its bona fides.

COURTESY OF THE NORTH CAROLINA SYMPHONY

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27

N.C. SYMPHONY PRESENTS: WAVES AND ECHOES

As contemporary classical music continues to build a strong foothold in the Triangle, this concert by cellist Nathaniel Yaffe and percussionist Rajesh Prasad, of the North Carolina Symphony, features two fascinating works written in the past twenty years. Osvaldo Golijov’s Mariel for Cello & Marimba is dark and sonorous, attempting to capture the moment right before grief sets in after hearing of an unexpected death. It takes full advantage of the marimba’s powerful bottom octave. Andy Akiho’s 21 draws on a similarly dark color palette, but imbues it with a weird mix of EDM and J.S. Bach. Crazy cross -rhythms and loops tumble forward with reckless abandon as the piece bounds forward. It also calls on Yaffe to play a kick drum while navigating all those wild rhythms.

But the oldest work on the program, Zoltán Kodály’s 1915 cello sonata, is the most affecting.

At the time of its composition, it was the first major work for unaccompanied cello since Bach’s cello suites, and it quickly found its way to the core of the cello repertoire. What’s immediately striking is that Kodály requires the cellist to

Brave Baby—think Bad Brains via Kings of Leon—wants all of its songs to be summer anthems.

But surely, as the heat recedes and the leaves change and summer turns into fall, so, too, are Brave Baby’s tired, soporific, unvaryingly indistinguishable songs destined to fade from memory. —PW [NEPTUNES PARLOUR, $7/9 P.M.].

34 | 10.26.16 | INDYweek.com

retune the bottom two strings down a half step, giving the instrument a wonderful, vaguely exotic resonance across unusual chords and drones.

The way Kodály develops his ideas—expanding them and contracting them at will—gives the impression that the performer is improvising.

It’s an incredibly virtuosic work, full of expansive melodies and flashing figuration that require the performer to utilize every inch of the cello.

Yaffe will only be playing selections from the sonata rather than the entire piece, but hopefully those will include the first two deeply rhapsodic movements. These are the meat of the piece, the place where Kodály digs in to create new and striking sounds. The third movement is a boisterous dance, drawing on his research into Hungarian and Romanian folk music. Somehow, the segment feels just a little bit tamer and less revelatory than the rest of the sonata, out of character with the generally somber tone of the the program. To that end, sometimes it’s better to let the darkness just be dark. —Dan Ruccia

KINGS, RALEIGH 9 p.m., $9–$12, www.kingsraleigh.com

Lera Lynn DARK One of the few BEAUTY things that didn’t suck about the second season of HBO series True Detective was the music, namely Lera Lynn. Her song “The Only Thing Worth Fighting For,” cowritten with Rosanne Cash and T Bone Burnett, set the show’s dark tone in the season trailer, and she even

appeared in the barroom scenes as the house singer serenading Colin Farrell’s binge-drinking benders. Lynn followed her breakout success with 2016’s Resistor, featuring smoky songs cut with a throwback edge.

Joseph LeMay opens. —KM [CAT’S CRADLE BACK ROOM, $16/8 P.M.]

NF Talented Minnesotabased hip-hop artist NF self-describes as a Christian artist. But with a desperate edge and a dizzying word palette drawing on everything from economic anxiety to existential dread, Nate Feuerstein skates well past the clichéd tropes of so much of today’s made-to-order devotional music. —TB [CAT’S CRADLE, $18–$21/8 P.M.]

MN RAP

Red Clay Saxophone Quartet SAX FOR The five works on ALL this program span a century, showing off a diverse range of voices and sounds for the Red Clay Saxophone Quartet.

Highlights include Carter Pann’s motoric Six from the Shop Floor, Anna Meadors’ Sonny Sharrockinspired Hopes to Be, and Martin Bresnick’s surprisingly somber Everything Must Go. From Greensboro, the Red Clay Saxophone Quartet are among the best around and should bring out all of this music’s richness.—DR [DUKE’S BALDWIN AUDITORIUM, FREE, 3P.M.] ALSO ON SUNDAY THE CAVE: Eric Sommer; 7:30 p.m. The Gretchens; 9 p.m., $5. • LINCOLN THEATRE: Afton Music Showcase; 6:30 p.m. • LOCAL 506: Patrick Sweany; 8 p.m., $12–$15. • MEYMANDI CONCERT HALL: NC Opera: Hercules Vs.

TUE, NOV 1 Bayonne PILLOWY Bayonne is the nom TUNES de plume of

Austin-based multi-instrumentalist Roger Sellers, whose textured take on electronic music layers in elements of folk and synth pop, creating an appealingly droney bed for his gentle falsetto. Lovely music that at times feels so featherweight it might simply drift away. Blursome opens. —EB [CAT’S CRADLE BACK ROOM, $10–$12/9 P.M.]

Brian Culbertson LOOSE A pedigreed jazz JAZZ pianist and arranger, Brian Culbertson has worked with stalwarts ranging from Maurice White to Bootsy Collins. While generally hewing closer to the smooth jazz exertions of eighties-era George Benson, Culbertson makes occasional forays into hard funk and shimmering soul that demonstrate he knows what to do with a groove once he hits on one. —TB [CAROLINA THEATRE, $33–$52/8 P.M.]

Kayo Dot UNDEThrillingly skilled and FINED attractively arcane, Kayo Dot’s never followed any logic but its own. The avant-metal group, led by maudlin of the Well’s Toby Driver, has been pushing boundaries and buttons for more than a decade, smashing wildly juxtaposed styles into close quarters. Plastic House on Base of Sky, released in June, is less metal and more sensuous than 2014’s Coffins on Io, exploring stranger and more beautiful sonic pastures, furthering the band’s reach into heavy music’s shaded quarters.

With Alpha Cop and Spookstina.

—PW [NEPTUNES PARLOUR, $8–$10/10 P.M.]

The Motet WHITE If the band’s FLIGHT marketing materials are to be believed, the future of funk is The Motet, which is seven white dudes from Colorado. Right.

In their defense, these guys play a pretty rippin’ version of the funk that already exists, stacking their influences— New York City roller-ball disco, Bay Area boogaloo, Motor City grease, Kingston bump—into a tower of power. —PW [CAT’S CRADLE, $16–$19/9 P.M.]

Psychic Twin DANCE IT Erin Fein’s songs— OFF slick, icy, kinetic, dance-floor-ready synth-pop—

don’t reflect the emotionally arduous journey she took to them.

After her marriage fell apart, she moved to Brooklyn and wrote Strange Diary, Psychic Twin’s gloomy and shimmering debut, while powering the isolated disorientation that comes from shedding an old life and starting a new one. Sometimes, the best way to exorcise your demons is to sweat them out. —PW [THE PINHOOK, $8–$10/9 P.M.] ALSO ON TUESDAY THE CAVE: Cognitive, Krosis, Antenora; 10 p.m., $5. • LOCAL 506: Future Thieves; 9 p.m., $8. • POUR HOUSE: Gaby Moreno, David Garza; 9 p.m., $15–$20. See page 28. • SLIM’S: Blue Frequency, Sedgewick; 9 p.m., $5. • THE STATION: Jeffrey Martin, Anna Tivel, Chris Frisina; 8:30 p.m., $6.

WED, NOV 2 Kevin Devine & the Goddamn Band INDIE Brooklyn indie rocker DUDE Kevin Devine just released his ninth full-length record, Instigator, earlier this month. The first single off the album, “No History,” reflects on the aftermath of 9/11, while the title track is anthemic in its journey about finding oneself. It’s an intimate offering for the singer-songwriter, who spent the past year recording his Devinyl Split series, a six-part project which featured one song from him and one song from his guest of choice. With Julien Baker, Pinegrove, and Petal. —DEM [LINCOLN THEATRE, $16/7:30 P.M.]

Mike Keneally & Beer for Dolphins WEIRD Mike Keneally’s RIFFS playing sounds just like what you’d expect from a man who hung in there as an equal on guitar with Frank Zappa’s and Steve Vai’s bands. The unholy combination of extra-terrestrial shredding and a seriously warped sense of humor makes for some very scary stuff that’s also strangely satisfying. —GB [POUR HOUSE, $20/8 P.M.] ALSO ON WEDNESDAY CAT’S CRADLE: Snakehips, Lakim; 8:30 p.m., $17–$20. • NEPTUNES PARLOUR: Bloodworth Combo; 9 p.m., $5. • SLIM’S: Savagist; 9 p.m., $5.

BEYOND BOLLYWOOD: INDIAN AMERICANS SHAPE THE NATION The Western world has tended to view Indian Americans from the same broad, often clichéd perspective as it views Bollywood cinema: as exotic, somehow existing outside of, or incompatible with, the American experience. By examining the history of generations of Indian immigrants to the U.S. as they assimilated into a new homeland, as well as Indian Americans’ contributions to American life—musical, political, culinary, scholarly, sporting, and cultural—this exhibit reframes the notion of what it means to be an Indian American.

The artifacts range from images of nineteenth-century Indian railroad workers and antiHindu propaganda to twentieth-century small-town life and today’s Silicon Valley. This traveling exhibition under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution makes its first stop in Raleigh, where it will stay until April 2017, for a reason; the Wake County Indian-American community was instrumental in bringing Beyond Bollywood here and will bolster the offerings with programs that delve deeper into the subject at hand. —David Klein CITY OF RALEIGH MUSEUM, RALEIGH Various times, free, www.cityofraleighmuseum.org

Southern Accent: Seeking the American South in Contemporary Art: This is less a simple exhibition than a speculative and critical archive of Southern identity. Slavery, the Civil War, racism, and their complex inheritances?

Much of the work explores and interrogates that. Connections to place so deep that land and body become the same thing?

Many artists unravel the warp and weft of that. The dissonance of the past’s intrusion into the present? The exhibit shimmers with that temporal disorientation. It’s powerful work by supremely capable artists, and the intensity of their proximity is life-changing. Thru Jan 8, 2017. Nasher Museum of Art, Durham. nasher.duke.edu.

TREATBAG

Little Green Pig Theatrical Concern is behind some of the most brain-bending independent theater we see on local stages, so you can imagine how wild things get when the group ventures into looser formats. Treatbag is just your plain old everyday interactive haunted theater fundraiser, and in its fourth-annual Halloween-weekend outing, it’s bringing deliciously wicked spirits back to Ponysaurus. Fortify yourself with a beer in the taproom before exploring the theatrical installation in the brewery, and try not to let all that hulking, seething machinery conjure a Nightmare on Elm Street-style boiler room. Little Green Pig is promising “ghosts, ghouls, and circus freakazoids; horrific wounds and sadistic doctors; horror punk and Amy Winehouse (RIP); cannibal children, unholy animals, and the Symbionese Liberation Army.” This is a case where the trick and the treat go hand in hand, as should you and a friend, for comfort. —Brian Howe

WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS To paraphrase the final line of the 1987 classic The Lost Boys, modern pop culture suffers from a surplus of “all the damn vampires.” There’s the sexy/sparkling kind, the traditional crazed bloodsuckers, and whatever the hell Vampire Academy was supposed to be. But who are these fanged beings, really? The 2014 New Zealand mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows redefines the domestic life of centuries-old creatures, housebound by day, street-roaming by night, who also have the problems most people do with roommates, modern technology, and the mysteries of the younger generation. Cowritten and codirected by Jemaine Clement of Flight of the Conchords and Hunt for the Wilderpeople’s Taika Waititi, Shadows has already become a cult comedy and inspired an upcoming sequel and TV spinoff. This 9 p.m. screening is preceded by a Halloween party at 6:30 that includes more creepy photo portraits by Wes Naman (see p. 33), a professional Halloween makeup workshop, magic and mentalism by Matt Brockman, and more. —Zack Smith NORTH CAROLINA MUSEUM OF ART, RALEIGH | 9 p.m., $10–$13, www.ncartmuseum.org

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27

THE SO & SO READING SERIES First of all, if you haven’t seen Southern Accent, the Nasher’s revolutionary exhibit on Southern identity in contemporary art, go. Even if you don’t usually visit museums, go. Even if you aren’t from the South—but especially if you are—go. In fact, go Thursday, when the museum partners with the So & So Reading Series to activate Southern Accent with its catalytic counterpart: words. In a place so prominently defined by its speech, this exhibit uniquely demands to be talked about. So & So’s Chris Tonelli and co-curator Margaret Chapman have rounded up a stellar lineup to do it in style. It includes Durham’s Lauren Hunter, whose Human Achievements is forthcoming on Tonelli’s poetry press, Birds, LLC; Odie Lindsey, a combat veteran whose war fiction has been featured in Best American Short Stories; Joanna Ruocco, an innovative fiction writer and associate professor at Wake Forest University; and the Pittsboro-born, Brooklyn-based Sampson Starkweather, an entertaining poet whose The First 4 Books of Sampson Starkweather was also published by Birds, LLC. Show up an hour before the reading for a free highlights tour of the exhibit to get you into a Southern frame of mind. —Brian Howe THE NASHER MUSEUM OF ART, DURHAM 7 p.m., free, www.nasher.duke.edu
