Hypocrite Is Not Enough In last week’s Triangulator, we compiled North Carolina Republicans’ responses to recently surfaced recordings of Donald Trump bragging about grabbing women by the … well, you know. DR B says that the word hypocrisy is no longer adequate: “Hypocrite provides insufficient breadth and depth for the fact that the political party that purports higher moral standards and is known as the ‘Moral Majority’ (what a joke!) has taken this long to feign abandoning ship. I say feign because even though this latest blatant evidence that Trump is a despicable demagogue incapable of empathy/integrity/ humility will cause Republicans to publicly state that they don’t support him, I have no doubt that when afforded the privacy of the voting booth, they will, like spoiled rotten brats, derive a perverse sense of smug pleasure by voting for Trump. Repugnant, repulsive, and nauseating are the first words that come to mind when I contemplate the reprobate himself and the miscreant peons who will shamelessly vote for him. … Like I said, we need a new word.”

Tony Dockery singles out for criticism Senator Richard Burr, who condemned Trump’s remarks on Saturday but, by Monday, had decided to still vote for him. “Burr’s response— because he is a shit for brains—is complete and total nonsense; it has no bearing on the question asked. But like all Republican puppets of the regime, when you don’t know what to say, always repeat the rhetoric.”

The infographic that accompanied that story—“Survival Guide: What to Do When a Presidential Candidate Attempts to Grab Your Genitalia”—caught the attention of New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, who blasted it out on Twitter. This elicited a number of responses from his 1.8 million followers, from all over the world and in several languages. Some loved it. Others thought it was in poor taste. A quick sampling:

Lance Ashdown: “Whoever created that graphic is brilliant.” Eli Friedmann: “That graphic is almost the same dimension as a Facebook cover photo. Well done.” Emily Troutman: “I feel like that cartoon is supposed to be funny and it’s just not. Are we making jokes about this? Already?”

In response to our stories on Raleigh’s languishing bus system and the forthcoming bond referendum, AlanfromBigEasy says Raleigh needs to get serious about mass transit: “Bus service is a social-service necessity.

Not just for low-income citizens, but senior citizens that legally should not be driving but still do to avoid becoming prisoners in their homes, people will medical conditions, from epilepsy to a variety of eye problems to those with broken legs, etc.

And DWI offenders who simply should not be given an exception to drive to and from work.

Bus service is a necessity for the transit dependent.

There is no ‘no buses, everybody drive’ option.

Car drivers get a massive $100 billion-a-year subsidy, so let’s not talk about the inequity of subsidizing transit. Fuel taxes, tolls, and license tags pay for less than half the cost of building and maintaining roads and highways.”

MX46, however, counters that our story looking at the bus system’s racial dynamic [“Back of the Bus,” October 12] is “another one-sided argument from the INDY. “There are multiple bus stops in North Hills and north Raleigh that contain no bench, shelter, and also no sidewalk. I should take pictures and compare this to that and throw the race card in there. ‘No one has to wait in the rain and the cold’: What? Please show me where one of these bus stops has a heating element.”

“I feel like that cartoon was supposed to be funny and it’s just not. Are we making jokes about this? Already?

+NOT HELPING

Over the weekend, someone firebombed the Orange County Republican Party’s headquarters in Hillsborough and left graffiti that read, “Nazi Republicans leave town or else.” No one was hurt, but it was nonetheless a shocking act of political violence. (We later learned that the Orange County Democratic Party’s headquarters, in Carrboro, was tagged with the words, “Death to Capitalism,” though there was no other damage.) Donald Trump immediately responded by blaming, sans evidence, “animals supporting Hillary Clinton” and boasting that it happened because “we are winning” (not in Orange County, Donnie); Democrats responded by raising $12,000 on GoFundMe to help the Orange County GOP out. Sure, this had more value as a PR stunt than anything else, but it did make us feel a little bit better about the world.

A quick word to the folks behind this (Anarchists? Bored teenagers?), should they be reading this wildly popular column, as all good anarchists and bored teenagers do: you’re not helping. Yeah, the Trump campaign sometimes invites comparisons to, if not Nazi Germany, other authoritarian regimes. But all you’re doing is allowing them to deflect from the violence that has surrounded Trump and his rallies; just 6 | 10.19.16 | INDYweek.com

this weekend, The Boston Globe reported on Trump supporters saying—openly!— that Clinton should be shot and Syrian and Mexican voters need to be intimidated.

This incident gives Trump die-hards license to say that both sides do it.

All of which is to say: stop it, you idiots.

+DEBATE CLASS

Let’s be real: the seemingly endless presidential debates this election cycle have been excruciating, from the time Donald Trump assured us that, um, all was well downstairs to whatever the hell we saw at last Sunday. So we can’t really blame you for skipping out on the minor-league contests.

But there were two marginally important North Carolina debates last week that you might have missed: one between Governor Pat McCrory and Attorney General Roy Cooper, another between Senator Richard Burr and former state legislator Deborah Ross. (The final McCrory and Cooper debate took place Tuesday night, after we went to press.)

We know you probably didn’t watch, but, in case you were curious about what went down, here are five noteworthy quotes from each of the two contests.

GUBERNATORIAL DEBATE

1. “You’re about as straight as another trial lawyer who became a politician in North Carolina: John Edwards.” —McCrory, on Cooper 2. “It’s hard to believe that Governor McCrory continued to support a presidential candidate who condones sexual assault. …

Governor McCrory and Donald Trump are a lot alike. They both have trouble with the facts, and they both engage in divisive rhetoric.” —Cooper, on McCrory’s support of Trump 3. “What makes him a role model is where he does stand strong on certain issues that need to be said, especially from outside Washington, D.C.” —McCrory, on Trump 4. “If ID is good enough for Sudafed, I think it’s good enough for the people of North Carolina to vote.” —McCrory, on why he still supports the voter ID law 5. “There’s bias in all of us. It’s not necessarily always racial bias. There might be bias in how we dress, how we look, the environment we might be in. Those are tools that police use to determine what action to take.” —McCrory, endorsing racial profiling

SENATE DEBATE

1. “Senator Burr has stuck by Donald Trump through all of this, and I think that shows a lack of judgment. Senator Burr

+FOR THEIR EYES ONLY

During its Tuesday meeting (which took place after press time), the Raleigh City Council was expected to approve matching a $600,000 federal grant that would allow the city to move forward with its goal of purchasing six hundred police body cameras.

But officials acknowledge that the grant represents the first of many steps that it will take to get body cameras on the streets— and even then, thanks to Jones Street interference, those cameras might not do the job activists were hoping they would. The next step, according to talking points drafted by the city manager’s office, is a “test phase,” in which three vendors will provide twenty body cameras each to the Raleigh Police Department. Those devices would be used in the field for thirty days, after which the city would award a contract.

Durham is also set to revisit body cams.

Following a months-long debate earlier this year over when footage should be released, the city council put the question on hold until the new police chief could take over. With C.J. Davis now in charge, the council is ready to consider purchasing body cameras. But it will run into the same roadblock as Raleigh.

Neither city can do anything to repeal a new state law that blocks the release of bodycam footage without a court order and gives the police near-total discretion over whether

even the people who appear on the tape can view it. That, says Susanna Birdsong, policy counsel for the state ACLU, undermines the trust these body cams were supposed to foster between cops and their communities.

“When you think about transparency and accountability goals that body cameras are supposed to represent in our communities, HB 972 really strikes the wrong chord,” she says. “What’s the point of body cameras then?” If the public can’t see what the cameras record, she adds, “only one side of that equation is going to actually have access,” which means the cameras aren’t “really serving the purpose they were meant to serve.”

+CASH GRABS

All your Instagram photos, Netflix streams, eBay accounts—basically everything you do online—remains easily accessible to you because of massive data centers around the country that store all that information. Over the last decade, state and local governments have come to view these facilities as a chance to resuscitate economies starving for jobs in an increasingly automated world. To land them in their jurisdictions, governments throw huge amounts of money at the tech companies that own these data centers.

A new report by Good Jobs First, “Money

Lost to the Cloud: How Data Centers Benefit from State and Local Government Subsidies,” examines what taxpayers are getting out of these deals. The picture isn’t pretty. Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft—among the richest corporations in the world—have received jaw-dropping handouts in exchange for very few jobs created. The report highlighted eleven examples of tax giveaways gone wild, and,

Onward Christian Soldiers

EVANGELICALS IN THE AGE OF TRUMP. (OR, WHY I WAS CALLED A ‘JEW-BOY’ AT A FRANKLIN GRAHAM RALLY.)

BY KEN FINE I was standing outside the Capitol at the postCarolina Values Summit Franklin Graham rally Thursday morning, attempting to interview Christian conservatives about their political views, when a seventy-year-old man in a cowboy hat called me a “fucking sodomite” after I asked why he was shouting about HB 2 being “essential.” A few moments later, a forty-six-year-old heard me interviewing his mother and said to her, “Look at his nose.

He’s a fucking Jew-boy.” Another attendee opined that the INDY was “fag propaganda.”

Yet another told me that the freedom this group was demanding didn’t apply to people like me (whatever that means).

Not everyone in the crowd—which some estimates put in the thousands, and almost all of whom were white—was hostile, but they were all fired up. That was Graham’s point: to gin up religious conservatives’ enthusiasm in a battleground state. Still, the vitriol took me aback. It’s not that rancor in politics is unusual; in fact, it’s been a hallmark of Donald Trump’s rallies.

But what place does this toxicity have among followers of Franklin Graham, a man whose father, the evangelical heavyweight Billy Graham, served as a spiritual counsel to Hillary Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal? More to the point, what drives this white evangelical hatred of Clinton—and, by extension, anyone (journalists included) lumped under the umbrella of “the liberal left”? And what has led them to line up behind Trump, a thrice-married libertine philanderer and confessed sexual predator?

According to a recent Washington PostABC poll, more than 70 percent of white evangelical Protestants are backing Trump.

And many evangelical leaders have doubled down in recent days, including Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr., who said that Trump was a “blue-collar billionaire” who “resembles Winston Churchill.” The younger Graham, while he danced around formally endorsing Trump last week in Raleigh, made it clear that the election was about ending abortion and protecting 8 | 10.19.16 | INDYweek.com

Onlookers at a Franklin Graham rally in Raleigh on September 13 the “sanctity of the Supreme Court.” He instructed his followers to “hold your nose” and vote. (It’s worth noting that, in 2012, the Trump Foundation wrote the Billy Graham Evangelical Association a $100,000 check.)

But that’s not the only thing driving white evangelicals toward Trump. According to a recent Pew poll, 75 percent of evangelicals said a major reason they’re committed to Trump is that they dislike Clinton. It’s been this way for decades. The late Reverend Jerry Falwell Sr. quipped in 2006 that “nothing would energize my [constituency] like Hillary Clinton. If Lucifer ran, he wouldn’t.”

But what made Clinton such a polarizing figure among white evangelicals? Many political observers say it started in 1992, when, in response to attacks related to her husband’s role in her legal career, Clinton said, “Those of us who have tried to have a career, tried to have an independent life, certainly somebody like myself, you know, I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was fulfill my profession.” The statement became a rallying cry among evangelical women, who viewed

PHOTO BY KEN FINE

her comments as a slap in the face to stay-athome mothers.

The sentiment has only metastasized.

Clinton’s favorability rating among evangelicals now sits at 17 percent.

Even so, not all evangelicals are in Trump’s corner. In fact, students at Liberty University took a stand last week, issuing a petition that has, to date, been signed by thousands.

The statement reads: “We are Liberty students who are disappointed with President Falwell’s endorsement and are tired of being associated with one of the worst presidential candidates in American history. Donald Trump does not represent our values and we want nothing to do with him.”

Indeed, younger evangelicals, while still generally Republican, tend to be more moderate (or even liberal) than their parents, especially on issues related to social and economic justice. But the old guard isn’t deterred. Falwell was quick to dismiss the petition, issuing a statement claiming that the group “represents a very small percentage of the Liberty student body.”

But there’s clearly dissension in the ranks.

Long before the “grab ’em by the pussy” tape surfaced, Southern Baptist Convention Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission president Russell Moore took to Twitter, writing, “If racial division, misogyny, sexual debauchery, authoritarianism are secondary issues for you, that’s not ‘values voting.’”

Despite how the religious right feels about her, Clinton is still in the driver’s seat, holding a seven-point lead three weeks out. As The Wall Street Journal has noted, the “clearest dividing line” this year is that “whites without a college degree have consolidated behind Donald Trump,” while college-educated people are more likely to back Clinton.

And while it’s lazy—and inaccurate— to dismiss swaths of people as knuckledraggers just because they don’t have a bachelor’s degree, the political science literature suggests a correlation between lower education levels, authoritarianism, and religiosity. This might explain why many deeply religious people are lining up behind a man who embodies the antithesis of what they hold dear.

But it doesn’t explain what unfolded at the Graham event—or at Trump’s rallies.

Alexander Haslam, an expert in crowd psychology at the University of Queensland in Australia and coauthor of The New Psychology of Leadership: Identity, Influence and Power, told the website Quartz earlier this year that he believes the confrontations that have taken place at these events are a result of a shared identity Trump has created with his base—the manifestation of an “us versus them” mentality.

Last week, by virtue of my profession, I was a them. The members of the us crowd— those fierce defenders of a freedom that doesn’t apply to me—could learn something from the man Falwell likened their candidate to. It was, after all, Churchill who said that the “best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.” After an hour at the Graham rally, I’m inclined to agree. kfine@indyweek.com

“To be clear, I am not endorsing President Putin. To survive in the KGB and rise to power in Russia, you have to be tough. His enemies say he is ruthless. To some, he is a modern version of a czar. His personal life has its own controversies. Isn’t it sad, though, that America’s own morality has fallen so far that on this issue—protecting children from any homosexual agenda or propaganda—Russia’s standard is higher than our own?”

JULY 17, 2015 (from Facebook):

“We are under attack by Muslims at home and abroad. We should stop all immigration of Muslims to the U.S. until this threat with Islam has been settled. Every Muslim that comes into this country has the potential to be radicalized—and they do their killing to honor their religion and Muhammad.”

SEPT. 26 (from Facebook): “The Obama administration is morally bankrupt and is pushing the lesbian/gay/transgender agenda on our nation. And it’s time the church recognizes this—we’d better wake up, and we’d better stand up against it while we can.”

keeps talking about it, but to be honest with you, nobody gives a rip about Donald J. Trump’s taxes. What people do care about is their own taxes. And when I read about the government spending $8.4 million of taxpayers’ money a year—starting today— for things like gender reassignment and hormone therapy for military personnel, I’m disgusted! Aren’t you?”

ENDORSEMENTS 2016 F ED ERAL

President Hillary Clinton

That Donald Trump is manifestly unfit for the presidency of the United States should be beyond obvious by now. There are the personality defects: he’s a braggart, a fabulist, a scammer, a narcissist prone to petulant outbursts, a compulsive liar (more in the vein of a sociopath than a typically cynical politician), a racist, and, as we have come to learn recently, certainly a boor and quite possibly a serial perpetrator of sexual assault. There are myriad political defects, too: his thin skin and tendency to lash out, his inability to make nice with members of his own party, his unhinged demagoguery, his fascistic tendencies, his animus toward the First Amendment, his threat to jail his opponents like a third-rate dictator, his idiotic plan to build a wall along the Mexican border, and—not that policy has C LI NTON really mattered all that much—his proposed tax giveaways to the very rich and a fiscal plan that might well lead the country to ruin. Even his singular claim to the office—that he built a multibillion-dollar empire thanks to his business acumen—is a sham, built as his empire was on a foundation of fraud, exploitation, and bankruptcies.

He is, in short, the worst candidate to claim a major party’s nomination since at least World War II. As of this writing, it seems likely that he’s going to lose—and lose badly. And all those who hitched their wagons to this ludicrous candidate and his deplorable base in hopes of boosting their political fortunes (ahem, Pat McCrory) deserve to go down with him. If you value political norms and basic human decency, it is your civic duty not just to see Trump defeated, but to see him clobbered by such a margin that the ideology he represents is wiped off the map—to show, once and for all, that we are better than that.

Which brings us to his opponents. First,

Libertarian Gary Johnson, who, while preferable to Trump—in that he hasn’t overtly targeted minorities and has more evolved views on criminal justice and drug prohibition—has demonstrated a reed-thin understanding of foreign policy and offers an equally foolish fiscal policy, which replaces the income tax with a consumption tax and proposes deregulation schemes that would be horrid for everyone but those at the upper echelons of the capitalist class. More to the

point, Johnson’s polling in the single digits and isn’t going to win; a vote for him might as well be a vote for Trump. But even if that weren’t the case, he’s hardly a progressive champion—even if he does like to smoke weed. Second, Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who did not qualify for the North Carolina ballot but can be written in. Prone to conspiracy-minded pseudoscience such as the idea Wi-Fi is dangerous to children’s brains, Stein is not a serious candidate. She’s unworthy of even a protest vote.

Finally, Hillary Clinton—an imperfect candidate, to be sure. She is, in our view, overly cautious, calculating, and secretive, as the email scandal and, more recently, a spate of Wikileaks releases have demonstrated. The Clinton Foundation, as incredibly admirable as its work has been (and it has, no matter what Fox News tells you), also opened the door for the world’s wealthiest individuals to try to curry favor through seven-figure (or

higher) donations, furthering the perception that she and Bill Clinton habitually tiptoe to the edge of impropriety and think the rules don’t apply to them. Moreover, her husband’s administration was tarnished both by his own peccadillos and his loathsome triangulation. It’s perfectly natural for progressives to fret that her administration, too, would be mired by scandal and compromise. And her vote for the Iraq War and hawkishness are certainly causes for concern.

But that doesn’t mean she’s merely the lesser of two evils. Put aside her flaws and missteps—all of which have been picked over and investigated and run through the talk radio meat grinder ad nauseam for the last quarter century—and you’re left with a woman who has long advocated for the welfare of women and children, who ably demonstrated her skills as a diplomat while secretary of state, who diligently immerses herself into the nuts and bolts of policy, who believes government can be a force for progress, who has shown resilience in the face of vicious attacks, who has been knocked down time and time again but always gotten up.

And whatever Clinton’s centrist leanings, the platform approved at the Democratic National Convention this summer is bar none the most progressive a major party has ever adopted (thanks, Bernie): marriage equality, minimum wage, climate change, a public option for health care, free college tuition for most families. She has proposed raising taxes on the wealthy and an ambitious jobs program, and, even if she accomplishes nothing else, she will forestall Republican attempts to roll back the Affordable Care Act, gut social services, and reconfigure the tax code to the Koch brothers’ benefit.

And, most important, she’ll likely have the opportunity to stack the Supreme Court with justices more in the mold of Ruth Bader Ginsburg than Antonin Scalia, which will do more than anything else to entrench progressivism in the American political system for generations to come.

Also, did we mention that she’s not Donald Trump?

U.S. Senator Deborah Ross

Sharing a ballot with a historically awful Republican presidential candidate, an embattled governor, and a deeply unpopular revanchist legislature, Deborah Ross has run a very middle-of-the-road campaign for U.S. Senate against two-termer Richard Burr. But if Ross wins, there’s a good chance she could turn out to be the most progressive senator from North Carolina in decades.

Ross’s résumé is impressive. She led the state ACLU for six years, served in the state legislature for ten years, and worked as legal counsel for GoTriangle. Her campaign has been focused on jobs and education, which is standard for North Carolina Democrats, but Ross also supports the expansion of Medicaid, much-needed improvements to the country’s infrastructure, and doing something about climate change. Her opposition to offshore drilling, she says, is something she’s willing to risk votes over.

Burr has a reputation for running a first-rate constituent services shop, but there’s not much else positive we can say about him. He was a die-hard supporter of the Bush administration’s Iraq adventure, and as chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he’s consistently backed the expansion of the surveillance state. He’s still opposed to gay marriage.

Burr also maintains his support of Donald Trump, a despicable man whose one almostredeeming attribute is his frequent criticism of Congress’s coziness with special interests. But Burr has been one of those cozy politicians: over the course of twenty years in D.C., first as a congressman and then as a senator, Burr has taken nearly thirty specialinterest-funded trips, worth ROS S more than $100,000. And Burr was one of just three senators to vote against a ban on insider trading for top federal employees, calling himself a “brave soul.” We can think of better words for that than “brave.”

A year ago, it didn’t seem possible for Burr to be unseated. But this election has been unpredictable, and we may just yet luck our way into getting a proven progressive into the Senate. Vote for Ross.

ENDORSEMENTS 2016 U.S. House, District 1 G.K. Butterfield

G.K. Butterfield’s experience as a civil rights attorney opened his eyes to the issues facing the underrepresented. He’s spent much of his political career fighting for the middle and lower class, attacking poverty, hunger, and infringements upon voting rights. Butterfield, the chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, was also instrumental in preventing the deportation of Durham teen Wildin Acosta. Those are only a few of the reasons we’re backing him.

Another is that his opponent, H. Powell Dew Jr.—he of the Mountain Dew-themed campaign signs—argues that “moral landmarks” are being “eroded” by the “liberal agenda.” Dew hates Obamacare and the Iran nuclear deal, both of which we mostly like.

He called North Carolina’s attempt to limit voting rights a move to “protect the integrity of our elections,” is anti-gun control, and loathes a woman’s right to choose. So, needless to say, we won’t be doing the Dew.

U.S. House, District 2 John McNeil

Since his election in 2012, George Holding has aligned himself with the fringes of the Republican Party: anti-abortion, pro-tax cuts, and repeating the oft-heard line that we need a “strong military.” He also endorsed Ted Cruz in the primary and said in May that transgender people using the bathroom consistent with their gender identity was a “situation which defies common sense.”

His opponent, John McNeil, is a Raleigh lawyer who served as a marine in the Gulf War; in contrast to Holding, a grade-A chicken hawk, McNeil is staunchly antiwar. In fact, McNeil is largely cut from the same cloth as Senator Bernie Sanders, who champions smarter, more equitable tax policies, ending the “war on drugs,” and opposes the Trans-Pacific Partnership. We strongly endorse him.

U.S. House, District 4 David Price

Since 1987—though he lost in ’94 and was reelected in ’96—David Price has ably represented Durham and Chapel Hill in Congress, and he more than deserves another trip to Washington, D.C. The genial Price is, in many ways, a conventional if low-key North Carolina Democrat, 12 | 10.19.16 | INDYweek.com

progressive but not quite a rabble rouser.

But Price is nonetheless a tireless and dedicated public servant who has striven since the Reagan administration to better the lives and fortunes of everyone in North Carolina. Most recently, he’s been a foremost proponent of ending an indefensible ban on federal funding for gun violence research and, in his role as ranking Democrat on the appropriations subcommittee overseeing transportation and urban development, has been focused on infrastructure and affordable housing. He has also cosponsored legislation to restore the Voting Rights Act and proposes major investments in infrastructure, hiking the minimum wage, reducing the cost of higher education, and implementing a public option to help shore up the Affordable Care Act. Price—a political scientist before he became a politician—bemoans the gridlock and Congress and seems irritated by the gamesmanship that has become so prevalent, which he rightly blames on the influx of money in politics and the toxic effects of gerrymandering. Still, he says, “there is still hope for bipartisan cooperation.” Maybe so, but only if there are more members of Congress like David Price.

His long-shot opponent, the libertarianleaning Sue Googe, advocates a dramatic reduction of the corporate tax rate, securing the border, and dismisses gun control legislation as futile. (Her campaign has put out a photo of her proudly holding an assault rifle in one hand and a shotgun in the other.)

No thanks.

U.S. House, District 6 Pete Glidewell

He believes in putting the middle class back to work and wants kids to start school at three years old instead of five. He’s against Trump’s stupid Mexican wall and, for the most part, represents a fairly reliable “yea” vote on issues that matter to progressiveminded North Carolinians.

But Pete Glidewell, despite receiving our endorsement, is someone we should keep an eye on should he win. His defeatist stance on common-sense gun control—he thinks it is “naïve” and unlikely to pass through Congress—gives us pause. But he’s still better than antigay marriage, anti-abortion, Obamacarehating incumbent Mark Walker. This year, that’s enough.

LGBTQ people. As attorney general, Cooper has consistently supported the death penalty.

And, disappointingly, he also supported McCrory’s nonsensical suggestion that we enact a moratorium on Syrian refugees.

While Cooper isn’t exactly a portrait of a liberal lion, he’s a hell of a lot better than what we’ve got now. And should Democrats manage to overcome the Republican supermajority in the legislature—a newspaper can dream—Cooper’s veto pen will also serve as a check on Phil Berger’s most radical impulses, preventing further tax cuts for the wealthy and the erosion of the safety net. For these reasons, we enthusiastically endorse Cooper.

Lieutenant Governor Linda Coleman

She has political experience, from chairing the Wake County Board of Commissioners to serving in the state House of Representatives, but Linda Coleman’s biggest strength might just be the man she’s running against.

To put it simply, Lieutenant Governor Dan Forest is dangerous. He’s an embarrassment to the state and a foremost defender of HB 2, who once said that “transgenderism is a feeling.” As his campaign slogan—“Run, Forest, Run”—suggests, he is not a smart man.

ENDORSEMENTS 2016 requirements related to what information businesses must submit to the state, Marshall has pushed for transparency.

Her opponent, Michael LaPaglia, has the support of tea party groups, has never held public office, and recently compared himself to Donald Trump. LaPaglia seems to have even less specific ideas for what he wants to do with the office he seeks than Trump does for the presidency. The gist seems to be that government should “get out of the way.”

We disagree.

Commissioner of Agriculture Walter Smith

COLEMA N

port it. So, yeah, we’re not the biggest Linda Coleman fans out there, but we’re damn sure going to vote for her.

Attorney General Josh Stein

The attorney general’s race is a battle between two state senators with very different records: Josh Stein, a moderate Democrat from Raleigh, and Buck Newton, a far-right conservative from eastern North Carolina.

Newton’s fingerprints have been on HB 2 since the day it passed, as he served as its floor leader in the Senate and later encouraged supporters to “keep our state straight” at a pro-HB 2 rally. Newton’s extremism has permeated his time in the Senate; he worked on the repeal of the Racial Justice Act and pushed to outlaw “sanctuary cities.” He should not be trusted with an office as powerful as attorney general.

This isn’t to say we don’t have issues with Stein. For one, he was the only Senate Democrat to vote to ban cities from mandating that law enforcement refrain from asking residents about their immigration status.

The bill was a xenophobic dog whistle; no progressive should have supported it. Stein also resigned from the Senate two days before 14 | 10.19.16 | INDYweek.com

the HB 2 special session, saying he wanted to focus on this race. Since HB 2 has proven to be unpopular, Stein has (rightfully) used it as a line of attack against Newton, but the fact that Stein wasn’t with his fellow Senate Democrats when they walked out of the HB 2 vote was, in our view, an unacceptable political calculation.

Still, Stein has his strong suits. He has experience protecting consumers, having run the N.C. Department of Justice’s Consumer Protection Division prior to seeking a seat in the state Senate. He also has a history of working on behalf of victims of domestic violence and shows a willingness to enforce regulations that preserve clean air and drinking water. Even with his blemishes, we’d take him over Newton any day of the week.

On one hand, Steve Troxler hasn’t presided over any royal screw-ups during his decadeplus as agriculture commissioner. He’s stood up to conservative extremists twice in recent memory. Last year, amid concerns about bird flu, Troxler’s department mandated that poultry owners register their birds, despite jeers from libertarian types. And two years ago, he refused to back down against gun nuts who made a stink about not being allowed to conceal-carry at the State Fair, which the ag department oversees.

There have been less sunny moments, too.

In 2012, a high-ranking employee in Troxler’s agency tipped off a Butterball plant that

Hoke County deputies were preparing a raid in search of evidence of animal cruelty. Troxler chose to believe this employee when she said she was trying to “curtail any future animal cruelty”; he called her an “exemplary employee,” despite the fact that she was found guilty of obstruction of justice.

Along these lines, Troxler has stayed mum on HB 405, the “ag-gag” law passed last year, which essentially prevents citizens from gathering evidence of wrongdoing on corporate farms. Its constitutionality is being challenged in court; Troxler’s campaign did not respond to our questionnaire or emails and calls when we tried to pin him down.

Troxler’s opponent, Walter Smith, is making his second run at the gig after losing in 2012. Smith is a farmer, has a degree in agricultural engineering, served as mayor of Boonville, and has worked with the U.S. Department of Agriculture administering federal farm programs for thirty years.

Unlike Troxler, he’s upfront about ag-gag: it should be repealed. Because of that, we’re supporting Smith.

Wayne Goodwin is campaigning for his third term as insurance commissioner, and we see

Secretary of State Elaine Marshall

When Elaine Marshall was first voted in as secretary of state in 1996, she was the first woman in North Carolina history elected to statewide office. She has served capably ever since. She’s brought the office into the digital age, making online registration for businesses easier. And at a time when the Republican-led legislature wants to relax

STEI N

ENDORSEMENTS 2016 no reason to deny him. A populist former state legislator, he’s smart, diligent, and forthright, rightly critical of the legislature’s refusal to expand or create its own health care exchange, which he says drives up consumers’ rates and puts the market at risk. But in February, he also warned federal officials that Obamacare was driving up costs and might lead to some insurers pulling out—which happened.

This episode illustrates what makes Goodwin a good commissioner: he’s pragmatic, willing to acknowledge problems and propose solutions rather than rushing to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

And he’s ever-mindful that his office’s primary role is, as he once described it, “one big balancing act”: consumer protections, which he considers his top priority, but by law, he also has to make sure that insurance companies make enough of a profit that they continue doing business in the state. From our vantage point, Goodwin has navigated this balance beam well.

His opponent, Republican former lobbyist Mike Causey, is making his fifth bid for public office. In 2012, he lost to Goodwin by 4 percentage points; this year, he’s also campaigning on a populist message, accusing Goodwin of “being in the hands of the powerful insurance companies.” We don’t agree. Goodwin remains the better choice.

Commissioner of Labor No endorsement

We’re not endorsing in this race, between incumbent/Trump supporter Cherie Berry, aka the Elevator Queen—a labor commissioner who, as a News & Observer series demonstrated last year, has little interest in actually helping laborers—and former Raleigh mayor Charles Meeker, the brother of one of the INDY’s co-owners.

You can, however, read both candidates’ responses to our questionnaires at INDYweek.com.

Superintendent of Public Instruction June Atkinson

With public education chronically underfunded in North Carolina, it’s good to have someone in the Department of Public Instruction who gives a damn. Over the last eleven years as superintendent, June Atkinson has garnered a reputation for helping the state’s children and teachers and

advocating on their behalf to the legislature.

She’s gone to bat for teachers and, if reelected, says she’ll work to reinstate additional pay for teachers with master’s degrees and a version of the North Carolina Teaching Fellows Program. She’s also worked to increase technology in the classroom and approved a digital learning plan that will help equip all classrooms with Wi-Fi. Atkinson has created initiatives to put in place quality preschool programs for the state’s most vulnerable and opposed any voucher expansion programs. She believes that any school accepting public dollars should not discriminate against trans or gay students, and she worries that charter schools in certain parts of the state are furthering segregation.

While Atkinson’s opponent, Mark Johnson, has identified several legitimate issues he wants to tackle if elected—the teacher license backlog, overtesting, and school ratings, to name a few—he hasn’t laid out any clear policies for addressing these problems.

Given her outstanding record, Atkinson is the clear choice.

State Auditor Chuck Stuber

When you look at Chuck Stuber’s résumé, it’s hard to argue that he doesn’t have the chops for this position. A former FBI agent who was involved in the investigations of former governor Mike Easley, former House speaker Jim Black, and former U.S. senator John Edwards, Stuber has proven that he knows how to dig in on fraud and corruption. While incumbent Democrat Beth Wood has done fine work as the first woman to hold the post, Stuber’s unrivaled experience tilts the scale in his favor. And should Roy Cooper indeed occupy the Executive Mansion in a few months (fingers crossed), having someone from the opposing party to keep him and his fellow Democrats on the Council of State in check won’t be a bad thing.

State Treasurer Dan Blue III

Both Dan Blue III and Dale Folwell are qualified candidates who understand the pressures associated with administering the state employee health plan, and we believe that either could do the job well. But in the end, we’re endorsing Blue.

ENDORSEMENTS 2016 of Senate Democratic leader Dan Blue Jr.), Blue speaks laudably of retiring treasurer Janet Cowell, though he promises that, unlike Cowell, he won’t accept positions on corporate boards while in office. He advocates improving constituent services in all one hundred counties and lowering the fees the state pays to outside pensionfund managers. And he also recognizes the damage that HB 2 has done to the state’s economy. Those are all good things.

Folwell, a former forensic accountant and legislator, is clearly versed in the nuts and bolts of the job. He argues that the state needs to address head-on the $40 billion in liabilities its health care and pension plans have incurred. He says the state should reduce its assumed rate of return on its pension plan to a more realistic level. And he, too, promises not to serve on any corporate boards while he’s in office. Those are all good things, as well.

But Folwell downplays the risks HB 2 poses to the state’s financial health, while Blue rightly argues that, while the state is large enough to take an economic hit, local communities might not be. Perhaps more important, Blue warns against the dangers posed by a proposed constitutional amendment that would cap the state’s income tax rate at 5.5 percent, which, as he notes, “locks in the current rates and leaves no breathing room.” Folwell is largely dismissive of those concerns.

No matter who wins, the state will have a smart, competent treasurer, just as it had for eight years with Cowell. By a nose, however, we’re picking Blue.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY N.C. House, District 11 Duane Hall

During his four years in office, Representative Duane Hall has been one of the most consistently progressive members of the House; he’s fiercely pro-choice, was one of the main sponsors of a bill to get North Carolina to a $15 minimum wage by 2020, opposed HB 2 from the beginning, and has generally been solid on civil rights issues.

Hall has two opponents: Republican Ray Martin and Libertarian Brian Lewis. Lewis has views similar to presidential candidate Gary Johnson (whom he supports), such as ending drug prohibition and what he 16 | 10.19.16 | INDYweek.com

considers to be overregulation. Martin, who ran in 2014, served for four decades in the U.S. Navy and has been a substitute teacher in Wake County. He’s emphasizing his faith and his passion for arts.

We like art, too, but we’re endorsing Hall.

N.C. House, District 22 T. Greg Doucette

For a variety of reasons—gerrymandering, Art Pope—North Carolina’s representatives are far more conservative than the people they represent. The repercussions have been disastrous, and it sickens us to watch wingnut ideas like voter ID, the dismantling of higher education, and HB 2 take root within these borders. For these reasons, it’s damn near impossible to endorse Republicans, because most vote along party lines for things that go against what we stand for.

We believe T. Greg Doucette to be an exception. A criminal defense attorney in Durham whose Twitter rants on police brutality and racial bias in the criminal justice system have occasionally achieved virality, Doucette often sounds like a Bernie Sanders supporter. He’s been active in GOP circles for more than a decade—he was kicked out of the Wake County GOP in 2005 for supporting a more moderate Republican over the social conservative handpicked by the party—but has gradually drifted off into the no-man’s land occupied by sane and respectful North Carolina Republicans who are #NeverTrump, think McCrory has failed, and consider HB 2 to be an abomination.

We’ve got nothing against Mike Woodard, who served on the Durham City Council from 2005–12 and joined the legislature in 2013. We certainly can’t fault him for failing to effect much change over the last few years, positioned as he is in the minority party. Woodard is visible in the communities he represents, particularly Durham, and has introduced much legislation we support, including a bill to repeal HB 2.

We’d be happy with another Woodard term. But a free-thinking Republican might be more valuable in Raleigh. At some point, something’s gotta change on that side of the aisle, and Doucette represents a good opportunity to begin that process.

N.C. House, District 30 Paul Luebke

During his twenty-five years in the state House, Paul Luebke, a sociology professor

at UNC-Greensboro and the author of the seminal book Tar Heel Politics 2000, has made a name for himself as a fighter. Most recently, he’s had to battle cancer, after being diagnosed with lymphoma in 2015. But in the legislature, he’s developed a reputation as a champion of the little guy, working to preserve overtime and minimum wage protections for seasonal workers. He’s pushed for medical marijuana, to reenact the child care tax credit, to expand early voting, and for a more sensible body-camera policy.

His opponent, Elissa Fuchs, is a Trump supporter who, on her Facebook page, argues for HB 2 and against expanded early voting.

We endorse Luebke.

N.C. House, District 34 Grier Martin

Grier Martin has been a reliable progressive since he was first elected to the House in 2004. We see no reason why he shouldn’t be elected again.

On the day HB 2 passed, Martin unsuccessfully introduced an amendment to broaden the state’s antidiscrimination protections to include sexual orientation, gender identity, and military status. With that move, Martin was able to expose the law for what it was: legalized discrimination.

Martin’s opponent is Bill Morris, a conservative whose limited online presence reports that he supports voter ID and is, at best, ambivalent about HB 2. This is an easy choice; we’re going with Martin.

N.C. House, District 35 Terence Everitt

By dint of the fact that he represents part of Wake County, Republican incumbent Chris Malone has to keep his positions relatively moderate. He talks like a business-oriented Republican—more Paul Ryan than Trump.

And yet, he voted for HB 2, which has turned out to be a disaster. Unlike other candidates running for the legislature in Wake, though, Malone has not reversed his position. Perhaps he thinks his district is sufficiently red that he doesn’t need to.

We’re not so sure about that. And we like his challenger, Terence Everitt, who unambiguously believes HB 2 should be repealed. Everitt is not without business experience himself. An attorney, Everitt serves on the board of directors of the Wake Forest Area Chamber of Commerce and served on the Wake County Transit

Advisory Committee. He criticizes Malone for standing with Duke Energy on coal ash and cutting taxes on the wealthy while voting for budgets that underfund schools. This is by and large true.

The decision here comes down a basic question: Do you believe government should work for businesses and the wealthy, or the people? We know our answer.

N.C. House, District 36 Jennifer Ferrell

As a chairman of the House Appropriations Committee since 2011, Republican Nelson Dollar has been directly responsible for deep cuts to education and public services. Last year’s budget, which gave teachers raises, shouldn’t be looked at as anything more than an election year gimmick.

His opponent, Democrat Jen Ferrell, has been fighting against those cuts for years, even getting arrested in a Moral Monday protest back in 2013. Ferrell was endorsed by the N.C. Association of Educators and has made education a focal point of her campaign. This isn’t a hard decision: Ferrell gets our vote.

N.C. House, District 37 Randy Barrow

The good news about District 37 race is that incumbent Paul Stam, an architect of HB 2, isn’t running for reelection. So this race is already a victory of sorts. But make no mistake, Democrats want a win here and are hoping that Randy Barrow, a public school teacher, can make it happen. His opponent might be more politically experienced— Republican Linda Hunt Williams is currently serving on the Holly Springs Town Council— but Barrow comes across as a down-home, simple man with the interests of his friends and neighbors at heart. It’s also worth noting that Hunt Williams is anti-abortion, wants to close sanctuary cities, and believes the Second Amendment is under siege.

So, again, Stam is gone. Let’s not replace him with Stam 2.0. We’re going with Barrow.

N.C. House, District 38 Yvonne Lewis Holley

A House rep since 2012, Yvonne Lewis Holley has recently introduced legislation to “ban the box” (which would encourage employers to eliminate the question about whether applicants are ex-offenders) and restore the earned income tax credit. She has also been

ENDORSEMENTS 2016 vocal about the problem of food deserts in the state. These positions line up with our values, which is why we are supporting her opponent, Libertarian Olen Watson.

N.C. House, District 40 Joe John

Representative Marilyn Avila didn’t just vote for HB 2; she cosponsored it. And, while other Wake lawmakers have jumped ship in an effort to save their political hides, Avila’s simply dodged questions about whether she still supports the law. Avila also proudly supports the unconstitutional voter ID law, another affront to civil rights.

Her opponent, former N.C. Court of Appeals judge Joe John, is a strong supporter of independent redistricting, something

sorely needed in North Carolina. He also supports raising teacher pay. He gets our endorsement.

N.C. House, District 41 Gale Adcock

Gale Adcock was one of eight Democrats absent for the HB 2 vote, citing an out-ofstate sickness in her family. Since then, she’s made her stance clear, telling us, “It is discrimination plain and simple and should be repealed.” We believe her—she also opposed North Carolina’s attempts at a “religious freedom” law back in 2015.

Adcock, a nurse practitioner who works as the chief health officer at SAS Institute, also supports expanding Medicaid, raising teacher pay, and she voted against the voter ID law,

calling it a “cumbersome, expensive, and discriminatory solution to a perceived yet never quantified problem.”

Her opponent, Chris Shoffner, is a health care fiduciary whose main focus is getting North Carolina a “state innovation” waiver exception to the Affordable Care Act—which, if approved by the Obama administration, would give North Carolina more control over health care reform. Not a bad idea, but a better one would be to simply expand Medicaid.

Shoffner also supports voter ID. We’re voting for Adcock.

N.C. House, District 49 Cynthia Ball

Cynthia Ball wants a full repeal of HB 2 and believes that the state government’s most important job is to provide a better environment for students and teachers within North Carolina’s public schools. Ball is also pushing for an increased minimum wage, higher pay for teachers, and a heightened watchdog mentality on environmental issues. Her campaign has been focused on lifting people out of bad circumstances that she feels have been created, in part, by the current legislature. These include those drinking tainted water and members of the LGBTQ community. And from coal ash to wasteful spending, she has zeroed in on the fights worth taking on.

She’s running against incumbent Republican Gary Pendleton, who squeaked by with 52 percent of the vote in 2014. Democrats, seeking to win enough seats to deny Republicans a veto-proof supermajority, think he’s vulnerable. Given how the Republican legislature has behaved recently, that’s a worthy goal—and Ball is a worthy candidate.

N.C. House, District 50 Graig Meyer

Representative Graig Meyer has not only helped sponsor bills to create a nonpartisan redistricting process, he also sponsored HB 946, which would have repealed HB 2. He’s been a strong proponent of education, ending racial profiling, and interrupting the state’s school-to-prison pipeline. In addition, Meyer supports increasing the minimum wage in the state or allowing localities to do so.

His opponent, perennial candidate and pastor Ron Chaney, has opposed same-sex marriage and argued that Moral Monday protesters don’t represent most North Carolina voters. No thanks.

N.C. House, District 54 Robert Reives II

Robert Reives II was appointed to replace Deb McManus in the House in 2014 and was elected later that year. A Sanford attorney, Reives has since been appointed cochair of the Freshman Caucus and vice chairman of the Education-Community Colleges Committee in the House. (He has the endorsement of the N.C. Association of Educators and the Sierra Club.)

Reives also asked hard questions of state officials in light of revelations of water contamination in Lee County and has advocated for the rights of local governments in the fracking wars. And though Reives voted for the bad body-camera bill, he did introduce an amendment that would have given city and town councils access to bodycamera footage. The amendment was voted down, mostly along party lines. Reives also had the good sense to oppose HB 2.

Reives’s opponent, Wesley Seawell, did not respond to our questionnaire. His campaign literature is garden-variety guns and God and free markets and Federalist papers.

We’re good with Reives.

N.C. Senate, District 15 Laurel Deegan-Fricke

Two years ago, Senator John M. Alexander won by the slimmest of margins over former Raleigh mayor Tom Bradshaw. The intervening years have been a mixed bag. In 2015, Alexander preserved Wake County’s ability to hold a sales tax referendum, which single-handedly saved the transit plan. But any goodwill Alexander may have built up was destroyed when he voted for HB 2. In September, Alexander called for its repeal; this reversal can’t be viewed as anything other than a political calculation.

His opponent is Democrat Laurel DeeganFricke, a member of the National Congress of American Indians who founded a nonprofit that helps Native American students with college placement. Deegan-Fricke is running on an education-focused platform and has stated her opposition to HB 2 and state intrusions in local government. She gets our endorsement.

ENDORSEMENTS 2016 Chaudhuri, a Raleigh attorney who worked in both Attorney General Roy Cooper’s and Treasurer Janet Cowell’s offices and is the first Asian American to serve in the General Assembly, has made a name for himself as an opponent of HB 2.

Beyond that, Chaudhuri brings innovative ideas to the table, including one to raise teacher pay by 5 percent every year for five years. But that’s not all: “Ideally,” he says, “I’d like to see a teacher salary start at $50,000, positioning our state as number one on teacher pay.”

His opponent, Eric Weaver, is a cop who wants sweeping criminal justice reforms, but not in the way you’d think. Some ideas: making road-blocking as a form of civil disobedience a felony, and making it legal for people in cars to run protesters over. These suggestions are, to put it bluntly, insane.

Chaudhuri did a good job in his first session, and we like his ideas a lot, but even if we didn’t, we would endorse him over Weaver.

N.C. Senate, District 17 Susan Evans (D)

Senator Tamara Barringer should be commended for being the first Republican legislator to call for a repeal of HB 2. But that doesn’t change the fact that she voted for it in the first place, and her newfound opposition was based on lost business in Cary as well as the knowledge that she would be running in a tough race in November. Barringer also voted for a 2015 bill to allow local magistrates to not perform same-sex wedding ceremonies.

Her opponent is Wake County school board member Susan Evans. Evans has been endorsed by the Human Rights Campaign and is running on a platform focused on education, jobs, and transparency. She also wants to repeal HB 2. We’re siding with Evans.

Gil Johnson’s opponent, incumbent Republican Chad Barefoot, is—and boasts about being—A-rated by the NRA and staunchly pro-life. He believes (wrongly, according to the Supreme Court) that Obamacare is “unconstitutional” and was a big proponent of HB 2. So it should come as no great shock that, in this race, Johnson is our choice.

It’s also worth noting that Barefoot led the charge to redraw district lines to assist

Republicans running for seats on the Wake County School Board and Board of Commissioners, a move that was struck down by the courts. Johnson, meanwhile, brings a background in education—he formerly chaired the Franklin County Board of Education—and says he will fight for increased teacher pay and much-needed resources for North Carolina students. We’ll get behind that.

N.C. Senate, District 23 Valerie Foushee

Senator Valerie Foushee, a retired Chapel Hill police administrator and former chairwoman of both the Orange County Board of Commissioners and the Orange County Board of Education, was appointed in September 2013 and since then has been a reliable liberal vote in a liberal district.

Her opponent, Mary Lopez-Carter, is a real estate broker who challenged Foushee back in 2014. She’s running on a platform that includes opposition to Common Core.

Foushee has done a good job, so we endorse giving her another term.

JUDICIAL

N.C. Supreme Court Associate Justice Mike Morgan

Here is how desperate North Carolina Republicans are to preserve their razor-thin conservative majority on the Supreme Court (which is nonpartisan in name only): last year, lawmakers passed a cockamamie law allowing Justice Robert Edmunds to run in a “retention” election—a yes/no referendum, rather than facing an actual opponent. If the noes prevailed, the governor, a Republican, would appoint his replacement. Neat trick.

That law was struck down by a panel of Superior Court judges. The N.C. Supreme Court, with Edmunds abstaining, deadlocked, so the real election was back on.

Edmunds has plenty of experience. He’s been an appellate judge or justice for eighteen years, and he’s a thoughtful, if stoutly conservative, jurist who stresses judicial independence. Under different circumstances, we would be inclined to support him, even though, because of age limits, he would be forced to retire about halfway through his eight-year term. But given the legislature’s

ENDORSEMENTS 2016 as a clerk to the N.C. Supreme Court. Her opponent, Hunter Murphy, is a trial attorney who blasts “activist judges.” He’s a qualified candidate, but he’s never served on the bench and can’t match Eagles’s experience.

N.C. Court of Appeals Judge (Hunter) Abe Jones

Abe Jones, a Superior Court judge for the last two decades, is one of the few candidates for the appellate bench who has been both a prosecutor and a defense attorney. The incumbent in this race, Bob Hunter, has plenty of experience, but he represents the status quo. Jones, on the other hand, speaks of issues pertinent to the advancement of criminal justice reform, such as excessive bail and a lack of speedy trials—which can leave people in jail for long stretches without being convicted—as well as repairing the “fragile relationship between citizens and law enforcement,” as he puts it. He deserves your vote.

N.C. Court of Appeals Judge (Stephens) Linda Stephens

willingness to bend the constitution in service of ideological schemes—and given the Supreme Court’s recent history as a partisan institution, which has been evident on questions of gerrymandering, school vouchers, and the aforementioned retention election—North Carolina can’t afford to write Republican lawmakers a blank check. And that’s exactly what preserving the status quo court would do.

We’re endorsing Mike Morgan, who for the last two decades has served on district and superior courts and is highly rated by the state bar. He’s known as a dedicated public servant and would be a welcome addition to the Supreme Court.

N.C. Court of Appeals Judge (Dietz) Vince Rozier

Both Vince Rozier and incumbent Richard Dietz have experience that suits them to the

bench. Rozier is a former prosecutor and district court judge; Dietz, a former First Amendment attorney, has served on the Court of Appeals since 2014 and is the only state appellate judge to have argued before the U.S. Supreme Court. While Dietz has strong bipartisan cred and makes a forceful case for judicial independence from politics, we’re siding with Rozier, whose decade as a Wake County trial court judge will offer him a unique perspective among the fifteen appellate court judges, of whom only three have prior judicial experience.

Rozier has a record of working with youth, including efforts to initiate a gang truce in Raleigh and to create a diversion program for sixteen-to-eighteen-year-olds who are charged with first-time, nonviolent offenses. He also argues that a foremost issue in the American justice system is implicit bias, which must be aggressively rooted out at all levels: “It is intellectually lazy to impose this bias only on officers,” he says.

“Judges can reveal their biases in sentences, prosecutors may reveal it in who is indicted, and defenders may reveal it in how they treat clients or believe the facts offered by law enforcement.” We agree—and we think Rozier deserves your support.

N.C. Court of Appeals Judge (Geer) Margaret Eagles

Margaret Eagles certainly has the pedigree for this position—her father, Sidney Eagles, was once the chief judge of the N.C. Court of Appeals. But she has earned our endorsement in her own right. Since 2009, she’s served as district court judge, where she is currently the lead domestic violence judge, meaning she handles many of these cases both in civil and criminal capacities.

She’s been an assistant attorney general, representing the state in environmental litigation and criminal appeals, as well

Linda Stephens’s opponent in this race is Phil Berger Jr., the son of the far-right Senate leader. Try as we might, we can’t help but hold that against him. It doesn’t help that, this summer, the legislature changed the law so that appeals court judges of the governor’s party—i.e., Berger, a Republican—appear first on the ballot (which is where all candidates want to be in low-profile races). Were it not for the legislation, Berger Jr. would have appeared second, owing to a random draw.

We’re not OK with that kind of chicanery.

But you can do more than vote against Berger. You can help elect Stephens, a trailblazer and qualified candidate who’s spent a decade on the Court of Appeals and has earned the endorsements of Equality NC, the state chapter of the National Organization for Women, the N.C. Sierra Club, the N.C. Association of Educators, and the N.C. Police Benevolent Association, among others.

Pro00037694

Mitchell has established herself as a fairminded judge during her time on the district court. She’s the longest-serving district court judge in Mecklenburg County and has experience both with criminal and civil cases. The incumbent, Valerie Zachary, has been endorsed by the likes of House Speaker Tim Moore, Representative Paul Stam, and Wake County Sheriff Donnie Harrison.

McCoy-Mitchell, meanwhile, claims the support of the Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People, the Durham People’s Alliance, the Raleigh-Wake County Citizens Association, Equality NC, and the N.C. Association of Educators. If you can judge a judge by her friends, this isn’t a tough choice.

Vote McKoy-Mitchell.

N.C. Superior Court Judge, District 10C Becky Holt

As we noted in our primary endorsement for this race, all five current Wake County Superior Court judges are men. It’s 2016, and we should be striving for more diversity.

But that’s not why we’re endorsing Becky Holt. Having served for twenty-seven years as an assistant district attorney in Wake County, Holt has earned the respect of her peers and a reputation for fairness. Her opponent, Michael Denning, has served as a district court judge since 2010. Where Holt has kept her political affiliations out of this nonpartisan race, Denning is campaigning as “the conservative choice.” We prefer our judges less ideological than that.

N.C. District Court Judge, District 10 (Bousman) Bryant Paris III

Monica Bousman has experience; she’s spent nearly two decades as a district court judge in Wake County. Yet her opponent, Bryant Paris III, is the better choice. He’s ranked higher than his opponent in all categories by his peers at the N.C. Bar Association in the most recent Judicial Performance Evaluation Survey. In his candidate questionnaire, he demonstrated a robust legal knowledge and showed that he’d be a fair voice and an advocate for everyone in the district.

Bousman believes that as long as the public is electing judges, the judicial system will be too politicized—and, to be honest, she has a point, given how little tends to be known about judges on the ballot. But we’re siding with Paris anyhow.

N.C. District CourtJudge, District 10 (Nagle) Walter Rand

Walter Rand stands out because of his background as a defense attorney and his understanding of what many men and women face in court, including the difficulty of paying court fees and how problematic unlawful incarceration is in Wake County.

While Dan Nagle, the incumbent and a former police officer, has experience, his and Rand’s peers at the N.C. Bar Association ranked Rand superior to Nagle in integrity and impartiality, legal ability, communication, and administrative skills.

(Nagle edges Rand in professionalism.) We, too, think Rand is the better choice.

N.C. District Court Judge, District 10 (Worley) Marty E. Miller

When Anna E. Worley last ran for reelection in 2012, a group of parents campaigned loudly against her, saying she lacked the temperament to deal with delicate family issues. We endorsed her, albeit with reservations. Not this time.

Her opponent, Marty E. Miller, is a formidable challenger with a background both in law and education, which offers valuable experience. Miller has served in the Wake County Juvenile Court and is dedicated to helping get Wake County’s youth out of the school-to-prison pipeline.

Worth noting: Miller also scores better than Worley—quite considerably in some cases—across the board in the N.C. Bar Association survey.

We think a change will be good for the district court.

N.C. District Court Judge, District 14 (Marsh) Shamieka Rhinehart

Both candidates are highly capable, but we believe Shamieka Rhinehart will be a welcome addition to the Durham County bench. As a prosecutor, she’s worked on the county’s misdemeanor diversion program, and she promises to “temper my decisions not just with an understanding of the law, but it will be also important for me to recognize the huge sacrifices and circumstances that various people carry with them into the

ENDORSEMENTS 2016 judicial system.” We think that’s a good trait for a judge to have. Moreover, Rhinehart has been extraordinarily well rated by members of the N.C. Bar, far outstripping her opponent, incumbent William Marsh.

N.C. District Court Judge, District 15B (Anderson) Samantha Cabe

This race to succeed retiring judge Charles Anderson has two candidates: Samantha Cabe, a Chapel Hill attorney, and Chatham County Superior Court clerk Sam Cooper.

Cabe represents both the Orange County and Chatham County Departments of Social Service in cases before the N.C. Court of Appeals and the N.C. Supreme Court, and promises to “confront the biases and barriers that many citizens face when seeking access to justice.” She also supports increased substance-abuse treatment and misdemeanor diversion programs for firsttime offenders and youth.

Cooper has extensive experience in international law, having worked on anti-corruption reforms in Thailand and judicial reform in Latvia, and is a former assistant district attorney in Orange, Chatham, and Onslow counties. We like his experience, but given Cabe’s willingness to take a hard look at bias and structural problems in the criminal justice system, we’re endorsing her.

CHATHAM COUNTY

Chatham County Board of Commissioners, District 1 Karen Howard

Until recently, wide swaths of Chatham, the second-fastest-growing county in the state, were unzoned, meaning it was perfectly legal to open a firing range next to a day care. Over the summer, the Board of Commissioners voted in favor of countywide zoning, to the chagrin of rural folks out west who don’t like the government telling them what they can do on their land. This crowd does not much care for Karen Howard, a commissioner elected in 2014 who is African American, originally from New York, and represents northeast Chatham County—i.e., the most rapidly developing part of the county.

But Howard was correct to support the

zoning measure, and she’s thoughtful on development and other issues of consequence. Her opponent, Jay Stobbs, says he intends to lead a charge to overthrow the zoning plan. That is unlikely. In his spare time, Stobbs chairs the Chatham County Committee to Reelect Dan Forest. We’d argue that supporting Dan Forest is evidence of poor judgment. We endorse Howard.

Chatham County Board of Commissioners, District 2 Mike Dasher

Mike Dasher, a Democrat, defeated an incumbent commissioner in the primary this spring and was poised to run unopposed in the fall. Peyton Holland has since filed a petition to be placed on the ballot as an unaffiliated candidate. He’s positioning himself as somewhere in the middle on the contentious issue of countywide zoning in Chatham, which Dasher supports.

We like Dasher because of his experience in development; currently a small business owner, he has a nonprofit background in affordable housing construction. He’s also served on the county’s affordable housing advisory board and its green building/ sustainable energy advisory board, and is endorsed by the Sierra Club, which is notable in Chatham, where fracking and coal ash remain major issues. We appreciate Holland’s professed nonpartisan views, but we think Dasher is the stronger pick.

DURHAM COUNTY

Durham Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor Danielle Adams

Danielle Adams has long been an advocate for Durham. She’s served on the Soil and Water Conservation Board of Supervisors for eight years, and her expertise and knowledge of the issues facing the county’s agriculture community are invaluable tools.

She argues that the city and county need to address water quality and says she will engage elected officials to address those very issues. Her opponent, Michael Van Sickle, hasn’t waged much of a campaign.

Regardless, it’s hard to imagine a candidate better suited to this office than Adams.

Durham County Schools, Library, Durham Tech, and Museum of Life and Science Bonds Yes to all

The four bonds on this year’s ballot are seen as a package deal, which is true, in a sense, in that they all seek to further education. The largest chunk of the $170 million package is $90 million earmarked to renovate Northern High School and Eno Valley Elementary. The library bond will fund a much-needed rebuilding of the downtown branch. And the bonds for both the Museum of Life and Science and Durham Tech will provide expanded learning opportunities to individuals at all stages of life. These worthwhile, long-overdue projects deserve your support.

ORANGE COUNTY

Orange County Schools Bond Yes

Both Orange County Schools and Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools have considerable needs in terms of maintaining aging facilities. The $120 million bond being put before voters only gets the districts about a third of the way there, given that recent estimates put necessary repairs at $330 million.

In CHCCS, the money will flow to only two projects: a major renovation of Chapel Hill High School and a reimagining of the Lincoln Center campus that will culminate in the consolidation of pre-K operations, new administrative offices, and doubling the capacity of Phoenix Academy High School. OCS will spend its $47 million adding a five-hundred-student classroom wing to Cedar Ridge High School and making infrastructure repairs and updates to mechanical systems at schools across the district.

These projects—expected to add somewhere between 3.7 and 5.8 cents to the tax rate, meaning a property valued at $300,000 will see an increase of somewhere between $111 and $174 per year—are deserving of taxpayer money. Troublingly, though, there’s no plan to fund the rest of the school repairs, and school board leaders and county commissioners have sig-

naled that another bond is likely down the road. This does not seem a very sustainable approach.

At some point, we’d like to see the county and the schools put together a more coherent plan for how to keep the schools in good shape. The schools already get about 48 percent of all taxes the county collects. But this isn’t the right nit to pick right now. We support the schools bond, albeit with reservations.

Orange County Affordable Housing Bond No

The lack of affordable housing in Chapel Hill and Carrboro—across the Triangle, really—is a mounting problem that needs to be reckoned with. Solutions are not easy to come by. They require tough decisions by town and county leaders, developers, and other stakeholders.

The county says a $5 million bond will help it achieve its stated goal of creating one thousand new affordable homes for seniors on fixed incomes, special needs populations, and ordinary people—lowlevel employees of UNC, teachers, law enforcement—for whom living in Chapel Hill and Carrboro has become unrealistic.

But how? Ask around about how this $5 million will be spent, and you’ll discover a startling lack of specifics. We’d prefer to have a better idea of where this money is going before we sign off.

We’d be happy to approve $5 million for affordable housing, but right now it’s not hard to imagine that money disappearing into a sea of nonprofits and construction outfits, with very little in the way of actual affordable homes to show for it. Come back to us when you’ve got a coherent plan.

WAKE COUNTY

Wake County Board of Commissioners, District 4 Erv Portman

Kenn Gardner and Erv Portman have both served on the county commission. Only Portman deserves a return trip.

Portman’s short stint on the commission—a year lasting from 2011– INDYweek.com | 10.19.16 | 21

ENDORSEMENTS 2016 12, when he left to run for state Senate— came at a time when it was controlled by Republicans. Portman fought for public transportation improvements, and since leaving the commission, he’s spoken out for better funding for schools.

Gardner, an architect by trade, served eight years on the board and stresses bipartisanship, something he believes is lacking on the unanimously Democratic board. But Gardner opposes the transit referendum and also supported the legislature’s gerrymander of county commission districts, which was ruled unconstitutional by a federal court.

We don’t love the idea of unanimous Democratic control, either. But on the merits, Portman is the best choice.

Wake County Board of Commissioners, District 6 Greg Ford

This county commission seat has been held by retiring Democrat Betty Lou Ward since 1988. The Republican candidate to replace her, John Odom, served on the Raleigh City Council for sixteen years until his defeat in 2015. On the council, he was known as a fiscal conservative who eschewed the more radical elements of his party and forged consensus.

This year, he’s running on a promise to increase teacher pay, a worthy goal. But his opponent, Greg Ford, has been both a teacher and principal in Wake County. His campaign has focused on ensuring quality public schools, protecting the environment, and working toward viable public transit in Raleigh. Odom’s life in public service is laudable, but the commission needs some fresh eyes. We’re backing Ford.

Wake County Board of Education, District 1 Tom Benton

Wake County school board chairman Tom Benton, a retired principal, has been in the news recently for battling Sheriff Donnie Harrison over bathroom policies for transgender students. But throughout Benton’s term as chairman, he’s also fought for better school funding and presided over the move to drop the title of valedictorian in Wake County high schools.

Benton has three opponents: Mary Beth Ainsworth, Sheila Ellis, and Donald Agee.

Ainsworth makes a strong argument for 22 | 10.19.16 | INDYweek.com

more emphasis on special education, but Benton has done a good job as chairman, so he gets our vote.

Wake County Board of Education, District 2 Monika Johnson-Hostler

While we’re disappointed that she wasn’t outspoken against Sheriff Harrison’s threat to remove school resource officers from county schools over transgender “concerns,” we believe that the school board benefits from counting vice chairwoman Monika Johnson-Hostler among its members, especially when compared with Republican challenger Peter Hochstaetter.

She holds a degree from N.C. Central, has been heavily involved in community organizations—from Girl Scouts to the Emerging Young Leaders Program—and is a champion for WCPSS’s minority students. She has also worked with groups that advocate for women and children, including the N.C. Coalition Against Sexual Assault. Hochstaetter, meanwhile, is a corporate trainer who sends his son to private school. Johnson-Hostler gets out support.

Wake County Board of Education, District 4 Keith Sutton

The son of civil rights activists and an executive director of the state NAACP, Keith Sutton has been fighting against injustices for decades. He served as outreach director for former governor Bev Perdue’s campaign and, more important to us, worked as legislative affairs manager for the N.C. Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. From 2000–07, he was also president of the Triangle Urban League. To put it simply, some people boast about a life serving others, but Sutton has actually walked the walk.

His challenger, Heather Elliott, might, for all we know, be a wonderful person, but her platform is largely unknown, and she has run an under-the-radar campaign. Sutton is the candidate worth going to the polls for.

Wake County Board of Education, District 8 Lindsay Mahaffey

The three candidates in District 8 bring vastly different experiences: a substitute teacher, a small-business owner, and a PTA volunteer. We’re going with the

teacher, Lindsay Mahaffey.

Gil Pagan, the business owner, has been an outspoken critic of Common Core, the oft-ridiculed state standards initiative.

He has some good ideas, such as starting school times later. Gary Lewis, a former IBM computer network architect, is the treasurer of the Wake County PTA council. He serves on the community engagement committee of the school system’s 2020 Strategic Plan, a major policy initiative of the school board, and has the endorsement of the Wake chapter of the N.C. Association of Educators, the Triangle Labor Council, and the North Carolina AFL-CIO. Mahaffey, who also has a master’s in education, cites Wake County schools as the reason she and her family moved here and said at a candidate forum in September that she wants more investment in pre-kindergarten. Both Lewis and Mahaffey are strong candidates, but Mahaffey brings perspective as both a parent and teacher in the system.

Wake County Board of Education, District 9 Bill Fletcher

In total, Bill Fletcher has spent a decade and a half on the school board. We think it’s a good idea to give him another few years.

Fletcher, a real estate agent who unsuccessfully ran for superintendent of public instruction in 2004, has made student achievement a focus in his recent years on the board. But Fletcher scores points with us for being outspokenly opposed to school vouchers and for being against the elimination of the diversity policy back in 2010.

Fletcher’s opponent is Michael Tanbusch. Tanbusch’s platform includes support for music and the arts, which we like, and stressing the importance of afterschool programs. But Fletcher is a proven commodity—and a Republican voice on an ostensibly nonpartisan board with seven Democrats and an independent.

Wake County Soil and Water District Supervisor Marshall Harvey

The county’s Soil and Water District supervisors help protect natural resources in Wake County via technical education and funding assistance. When it comes to

whom to pick for the job of supervisor, however, the only thing all that different about the two candidates, incumbent Marshall Harvey and challenger Matthew Hebb, is that Harvey has been doing the job since the last election with no major complaints.

Hebb, the chairman of the N.C. Federation of Young Republicans, says that it is “essential to understand that Wake County has a balance between agricultural, urban, and natural preservation concerns,” and he adds that he would be cautious and fair about how to disperse funds allocated through the office. As for Harvey, well, it’s hard to know what he says because his website is no longer active and his Facebook page doesn’t tell us a whole lot. So this one’s a toss-up.

What the hell. Tie goes to the incumbent.

Wake County Public Transportation Referendum Yes

Wake County is growing by sixty-three people a day, but its public transportation system is firmly stuck in the twentieth century. We’re overdue for an upgrade.

The public transportation referendum isn’t perfect, but it is a start, with promises to increase the frequent bus network in Raleigh and Cary from seventeen to eightythree miles, an expansion of weekend bus service, and to bring both a thirty-sevenmile commuter rail and bus rapid transit to the county within the next ten years.

As long as it’s implemented in the correct way, the Wake County Transit Plan—which will get 48 percent of its funding this halfcent sales tax hike, should voters approve it—will improve the lives of current Wake County riders and encourage other people to use public transportation as well.

In a perfect world, public transportation investments would be funded by higher taxes on the wealthy rather than a regressive sales tax. But, thanks to state law, that’s not an option. And time is of the essence: last year, Republican legislators threatened to take away the county’s ability to raise taxes for public transportation.

If this referendum fails, we might not get another chance. backtalk@indyweek.com The INDY’s editorial board: Jeffrey C. Billman, Paul Blest, Ken Fine, Lauren Horsch, and David Hudnall.

Field Auditorium – Environment Hall Beside the Levine Center Duke University’s West Campus

Following the Civil War, America began its first tentative steps toward establishing a comprehensive national system of public lands. Each step, however, has always been contested, revealing a long-standing ambivalence about conservation and the role and function of government. As the National Park Service concludes the celebration of its centennial, Rolf Diamant will revisit the early establishment of national parks and look for lessons learned as we assess what might be needed to make our national park system useful and relevant to all Americans for years to come.

THE GREENBOX PROJECT BRINGS REUSABLE TO-GO BOXES TO DURHAM RESTAURANTS

BY ERICA JOHNSON

Six days a week, Durham sends trucks to the Sampson County Landfill, an hour and fortyfive minutes away. Since the Durham landfill filled up a few years ago, it’s been one of the only viable options for trash disposal. Every month, half a ton of that waste comes from your favorite restaurants’ to-go boxes. But Don’t Waste Durham hopes to reduce the toll with GreenBox, a reusable takeout container program—one of several initiatives the community organization has implemented to reduce consumer waste.

GreenBox containers will be available at local eateries by February 2017. With the GreenBox app, consumers can sign up for a yearly $25 membership to check out the containers from participating Durham restaurants. In its launch year, the program will be free. Nine eateries have already joined, including Luna Rotisserie, Toast, Durham Co-op Market, and Nanataco. When customers are finished with the box, they can drop it off at another participating restaurant—no matter where they first got it—and pick up another next time they want food to go. Restaurants will even wash the boxes, saving you some time in the kitchen.

“We really think that reuse is going to be more and more a part of our future,” says Crystal Dreisbach, DWD’s founder. “Why not start in Durham? Why not begin with us?”

DWD will throw a Kickstarter launch party on October 22 at Bull McCabe’s Irish Pub, and plans to feature at least twenty partnering restaurants by then. The organization aims to raise $22,000. Reduced-price GreenBox memberships are among the donation incentives.

Program organizer Noah Marsh said the box will cost restaurants between seven and fifteen cents per use, cheaper than many disposables. The hope is that this will encourage restaurants to save money.

Similar to-go box programs operate in San Francisco and Portland, under the direction of Laura Weiss of GO Box. In the five years since its launch, the company has avoided using 100,000 disposables.

Both GO Box and GreenBox champion the use of reusable over compostable containers. The latter are often manufactured using coal in China, then shipped to North Carolina. This shipping and production process can make compostable containers much less sustainable than they seem, especially if they end up in landfills, where they can create potentially explosive pockets of gas and make the land unstable.

DWD organizers know that changing the

disposable culture will take hard work, but they believe Durham is the place to do it.

“If we can get a lot of Durhamites doing a small habit change, we can make a huge impact,” Dreisbach says.

After the launch year, Dreisbach hopes to expand to other Triangle towns and turn this community organization into a for-profit business that aims to help people and the environment.

Maybe through GreenBox and a little community support, Durham can stop at least a couple of those trucks from trekking out to the Sampson County Landfill. food@indyweek.com INDYweek.com | 10.19.16 | 25

Ice Cream and Ham Biscuits

BEHIND THE BRIGHT MIDWAY, A LEGACY OF COMMUNITY IN YOUR FAVORITE FAIR TREATS

BY JAYCIE VOS

The North Carolina State Fair flaunts its fried-food glory. But there’s a deeper food history beyond deep-fried Jell-O and Krispy Kreme burgers.

October in North Carolina feels incomplete without two classics: N.C. State’s Howling Cow ice cream and ham biscuits from the First United Methodist Church Cary, which have been delicious fair staples for decades. Rooted in a spirit of community and agriculture education, these treats also tap into the fair’s longer history and traditions.

Founded in 1853 by the State Agricultural Society, the fair originated to promote agriculture and industry in North Carolina. According to historian Melton Alonza McLaurin in his book, The North Carolina State Fair: The First 150 Years, farmers and city folk from across the state came together to share and learn about crops, livestock, and new farming techniques and machinery. Of course, the fair has expanded to things like midway rides and games and grandstand shows, but agriculture education remains at its heart, and at the heart of the student-run Howling Cow Ice Cream, which serves its product daily at the campus’s Dairy Bar. Once a year, the rest of us can head to the Dairy Bar tent at the fair’s Grandstand.

This year’s newest flavor is caramel apple crisp, a perfect autumn treat.

Since 1978, N.C. State’s Food Science Club has been selling ice cream made on campus in the Feldmeier Dairy Processing Lab (or Dairy Bar). Gary Cartwright, director of N.C. State’s Dairy Enterprise System, explains that students, faculty, and staff come together through hands-on experience every step of the way, from milking cows to serving ice cream. “It completes the loop of the education,” Cartwright says.

Ice cream production takes place entirely on State’s campus, beginning with the milk, which comes from about 170 cows at the Dairy Research and Teaching Farm.

Next, it goes to the lab in Schaub Hall, 26 | 10.19.16 | INDYweek.com

Students pitch in along the way, learning about food safety, sanitation, and industry standards.

“Our job is to educate [students], give them experience, and send them back out into the world,” Cartwright explains. Upon graduation, students often go on to work in the dairy and food science industries.

The Food Science Club buys the ice cream from the lab to sell at the Dairy Bar. The club helps students engage with faculty, the community, and the professional industry beyond the classroom.

“It really helps build a sense of community,” says Leah Hamilton, a State student who cochairs the Dairy Bar committee. “[It] has been a big part of the club for decades. Dairy Bar is about tradition and

about people loving ice cream.”

Hamilton remembers standing in line for the ice cream as a child, and never leaving the fair without eating a scoop.

When her mother attended State, she also scooped ice cream for the club.

Allison Pitts, another student, oversees outreach for the club. She says it’s like a family, with a sense of camaraderie among the students and professors who volunteer their time, and that serving customers who are willing to wait thirty minutes to order her ice cream is a hectic but exhilarating experience. “You know something is good when people choose to spend their time waiting in line,” she says.

The Dairy Bar directly supports future food science professionals; proceeds fund scholarships, professional development opportunities, and bringing industry

speakers to club meetings.

Agriculture education may have been the original intent of the fair, but the fair’s social appeal has been a pleasant side effect since the nineteenth century. The ham biscuits, made and sold by volunteers from First United Methodist Church Cary down on restaurant row, embody this sense of community. The church has been selling food at the fair since 1916. According to Jeanette Bell, who has volunteered by corralling other helpers for about twenty years, ladies from the church started the booth back then. It’s uncertain whether they initially sold ham biscuits—Bell thinks it was soups and pies. At some point the spread evolved to include the church’s now-famous biscuits.

“That’s why people come,” explains Bell, and the volunteers don’t take this lightly. One ninety-three-year-old woman has been making biscuits for more than fifty years.

Another aging volunteer won’t let her dedication waver for anything. “Doctors told her she could be walking down the street and be gone, and she doesn’t care,” Bell says. “She’s gonna make biscuits!”

Bell recruits a hundred volunteers each day, though with this sort of dedication to the decades-old tradition, it’s easy to get people to sign up. She sees this as a time for fun and fellowship and as a way to witness and be present for the community. All proceeds go to different missions, such as Communities in Schools of Wake County and past hurricane relief efforts.

The State Fair and its food have evolved in exciting ways, but Howling Cow ice cream and ham biscuits from First United Methodist Church Cary take us back to the lasting purpose of public engagement and agriculture education. Volunteers, students, church members, farmers, and all fairgoers can teach and learn from one another—and enjoy these tasty treats to boot. l Twitter: @jaycie_v

Culinary Reconciliation

THE JEMIMA CODE UPLIFTS HIDDEN VOICES OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN COOKS

BY VICTORIA BOULOUBASIS

Award-winning journalist Toni TiptonMartin’s new book, The Jemima Code: Two Centuries of African American Cookbooks, is a tome featuring the histories of more than 150 cookbooks written by black American women and men since the mid 1800s.

In it, Tipton-Martin expresses difficult bits of history with a grace that can be hard to muster for the rest of us who grapple with social injustices more combatively.

“Socially, that’s what we do, is beat up on each other,” she says. “We live in a blaming society. So I think people come to this topic naturally expected to feel something negative, whether that’s guilt or shame.”

Tipton-Martin wrote the book to “give a voice to women who didn’t have a voice,” she says. The women she honors in her book were all cooks hired or enslaved by white families. Historically, the public acknowledgement of such women was a fetishized version of a mammy stereotype, like Aunt Jemima, who was created in the 1880s in the style of blackface minstrel shows to sell pancakes and syrup.

Archival portraits of the women featured in The Jemima Code are currently on display at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. Tipton-Martin will speak Thursday at a reception to close out the exhibit, and Friday at The Durham Hotel.

“There’s something alluring about their presence,” Tipton-Martin says about the women featured in her book and in the photographs.

While working as a reporter for the L.A. Times in the 1980s, Tipton-Martin began researching her familial Southern roots in cookbooks. She initially found that there weren’t enough African-American women documented in ways that defied the misinformed tropes of unskilled workers void of culinary talent and creativity. Thousands of dollars, three decades, and countless auctions and online sales later, she’s amassed a trove of more than 300 cookbooks, which sits in a bulletproof safe.

Author Toni Tipton-Martin

When she began the project, TiptonMartin says she felt drawn to the women she encountered in her research in an intimate, spiritual way. One of the first women she learned of was Malinda Russell, a free woman of color who self-published A

IMAGES COURTESY OF UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS PRESS

Domestic Cookbook in 1866 to fundraise a “return home” to Tennessee.

“I didn’t have any intellectual information attached to them,” Tipton-Martin says.

“I just felt passionate about telling their stories and making sure they were prop-

erly identified in history. But the more I got to know them, I started to develop a relationship with them. The more time you spend with them, the more the relationship grows.”

The Jemima Code weaves the life stories and artistry present in the cookbooks with historical facts, as well as assumptions, to prove even the simplest ideas (that black women wrote recipes using French terms for their highly skilled, self-taught techniques) to the more complex (that society has wrongly given credit to white women for directing black cooks in their kitchens).

It’s not easy for people to reconcile with their privilege or to acknowledge a history of oppression. The author explains that people commonly attend her events “prepared to be insulted.”

“There’s an automatic reaction—even people who are young enough not to know the terrible association of Aunt Jemima and servitude.

“That doesn’t just mean white people,” she adds. “Black people are still trying to come to grips, which is evident in my audience. I’m not selling this book in a lot of black spaces, because the hurt there is very deep.”

Tipton-Martin, instead, graciously calls people in rather than calling them out.

“What I really mean is that by acknowledging [these women], remembering them, and honoring them, it doesn’t have to mean that you’ve been chastised for being cruel, selfish, ignorant of the facts, or ashamed.”

With straight talk, Tipton-Martin still conveys the emotional importance of this sort of reconciliation at her events and in her book. For this, she and the women featured in it are perhaps uncracking the code for culinary recognition.

“What we’ve tapped into is a nurture that’s been missing in all of us socially. The women took care of us through their cooking at their table. This book has given people permission to remember them.” vbouloubasis@indyweek.com INDYweek.com | 10.19.16 | 27

CHATHAM COUNTY LINE, NO ONE MIND, AND JOE WESTERLUND WON’T BE PINNED TO THEIR NATIVE GENRES

CHATHAM COUNTY LINE AUTUMN

(Yep Roc)

When is a bluegrass band not a bluegrass band anymore? It’s a question Raleigh’s Chatham County Line has wrestled with for some time now. On its self-titled debut album thirteen years ago, the quintet maintained some strong ties to traditional bluegrass despite its overt newgrass leanings. And though the band’s roots do still show themselves once 28 | 10.19.16 | INDYweek.com

in a while, as on the pickin’ party instrumental “Bull City Strut,” from the newly released Autumn, it has been edging further away from old-school style with each album.

On its eighth LP, the band continues to utilize the traditional bluegrass tool kit of acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin, and upright bass in service of an ethos that has more to do with the singer-songwriter realm than with Bill Monroe or Flatt & Scruggs. Gillian Welch and Neil Young are among the artists with whom CCL feels kinship, and Autumn’s nuanced songwriting makes that connection quite clear.

The album opens with “You Are My Light,” a churning minor-key tune that seems to be an ode to the Almighty, setting a spiritual tone straight out of the gate. But the snaky, bluesy “Bon Ton Roulet” pretty quickly shifts back to a more earthly plane. Guitarist Dave Wilson and mandolin player John Teer swap succinct, lyrical solos on “Siren Song.”

On “Jackie Boy,” Wilson frames his warm murmur with spectral guitar arpeggios, with some equally haunting vocal harmonies popping up to add a dash of color. The overall effect ends up sounding closer to Fleet Foxes than anything under the bluegrass banner.

With its harmonica shadings and straightup folk-rock feel, “All That’s Left” could have come off a seventies Bob Dylan album.

Chatham County Line’s poetic side emerges on “Dark Rider,” an ominous tune about a grim reaper figure. An anxious-sounding Wilson sings, “In a three-piece suit as black as the coal, on the turn of the hour, he’ll come for your soul.” But by the time the album

closes on the piano-laced barroom stomper “Show Me the Door,” a decidedly more hospitable atmosphere is at work. So does it all add up to bluegrass, newgrass, Americana, or something else? Chatham County Line proves that none of that really matters—just get busy tucking into Autumn’s manifold pleasures instead. —Jim Allen

NO ONE MIND NO ONE MIND

(Third Uncle Records) Breakup records come in all shapes and sizes, and the history of rock ’n’ roll is littered with them. Rumours, Sea Change, Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space—each, in its own way, soundtracks the bitter interior states created by a newly deceased relationship. No One Mind’s self-titled debut is a glorious collection of fractured, imagina-

tive songs in this vein, straddling indie rock, psychedelia, noise, and pop with ease. It’s a potent breakup record, though it doesn’t appear that way on the surface.

The band originally convened after Missy Thangs, Ellis Anderson, and Noah Dehmer broke away acrimoniously from their previous group, Toddlers, which allegedly ended with one email. Sour feelings animate a lot of these songs; they feel confident and unaffected but ripple with unresolved tension.

Opener “Folk Wagon” straps a krautrock bass line and angelic synths under Anderson’s solemn, cryptic vocals, building slowly into a transcendent freak-out of a conclusion. No One Mind is great at building these sorts of sweeping, panoramic moments, but the band has additional songwriting modes.

“Bad Attitude” dials down the furor in favor of Sunday-morning psych bliss, as does “Big Talking Man,” which channels the unhurried, off-kilter pop sensibilities of Broadcast.

These numbers are as grand as the noisier ones, a product of the chemistry among the band’s members.

The overall production is solid, too.

Thangs, who has recorded a number of Triangle bands over the years, engineered and mixed the album, and her exquisite attention to detail shows. Though many effects and odd sounds inhabit these songs, everything sounds crisp and distinct, busy but never complicated. You never feel trapped in a digital reverb castle or brickwalled guitars that give the illusion of loudness, mistakes that can sink otherwise good records. No One Mind has masterfully mined the shards of a breakup for an excellent first record, building something much more sturdy than the sum of its parts. —David Ford Smith

JOE WESTERLUND MOJAVE INTERLUDE (Northern Spy)

For his first release under his own name, once and future Megafaun drummer Joe Westerlund follows the path of numerous artists before him: he’s made his dance music debut. But the thirty-minute, two-part Mojave Interlude—released on tape for Cassette Store Day—isn’t a club banger, though it would probably sound fantastic played

very loudly through a big system. Westerlund makes dance music as John Cage once did for Merce Cunningham, abstractly and unpredictably, as much a matter of holding environmental space for the visual forms of the human body as providing specific cues.

Used for performance in choreographer Carson Efird’s piece I Am Come For You, staged in Los Angeles and Brooklyn in 2013, the two parts provide prime mind-movie entertainment for the enterprising listener.

With some genetic connection to Westerlund’s sonic trickster alter ego, Grandma Sparrow, Mojave Interlude presents a playful and surprising flow of gurgles, drones, horns, processed percussion cloudscapes, gentle gongs, and layered patterns that seem to spell out stories in some personal and undefined variation on Morse code.

There are drums in there, too, but it at first seems that there’s little to link them to Westerlund’s many other percussion gigs, save for Megafaun’s collaboration with composer Arnold Dreyblatt, or the occasional self-destructing track (like “These Words,” from the band’s 2011 self-titled album) that cracks open into field recordings and other spaces. One would be hard-pressed to identify the creator of Mojave Interlude as a percussionist, necessarily, or anything other than an assembler of sound. The result is music for headphones and closed eyes.

Passing gracefully through a succession of pleasurable scenes and spaces, Mojave Interlude becomes a private tango between recording and listener, a thoroughly modern type of movement: a dance for the head.

THE PHRASE “BLACK ON BLACK” IS TOO OFTEN FOLLOWED BY “VIOLENCE.” THESE CURATORS AND ARTISTS ARE TAKING IT BACK. BY SAYAKA MATSUOKA What do you think of when you hear the words “black on black”?

Whether it’s in the news or on the walls of social media, the phrase is almost always used in a negative way to describe crimes committed by African Americans against other African Americans. It’s often deployed against movements like Black Lives Matter in an effort to derail the conversation away from the victims. But a new exhibit at Raleigh’s Visual Art Exchange, curated by ArtsNow’s Mike Williams and Saint Augustine University professor Linda Dallas, seeks to turn the misleading phrase on its head.

“We take the negative and redefine it,” Williams writes in a statement accompanying Black on Black, which runs through early November. The exhibit was created and curated by people of color. Both of the curators, who are black, understand the need for spaces where people of color can tell their own stories in their own words, in an artistic climate where even shows that are about the black experience are often curated by white people. When black curators and artists represent themselves, there’s no risk of exoticizing and consuming the “other.”

“This is a space that is listening to what we, as artists and people of color, have to say, instead of talking over us or attempting to redefine those thoughts,” Dare Coulter writes in her artist statement.

Planning for the show started in July, after police officers killed unarmed black men including Philando Castile and Alton Sterling. In the main gallery of VAE, the exhibit tackles many difficult problems facing people of color, both historically and today.

When you walk in, you immediately notice the curling wires hanging from the ceiling, attached to headphones that correspond to video pieces projected along one wall.

Charles Williams’s “Nother / Day” follows an unnamed black man through the daily routine of standing for the pledge of allegiance.

At first, he recites the words exactly, but then they start to subtly change, and eventually, the speech ends with “liberty and justice for

The artist, Jamila R. Davenport of Durham, writes that she joined the exhibition because of an awakening that took place not only for her, but for the country over the last several years. All ten of the artists’ statements are printed out and available to visitors. They’re also part of a virtual exhibit on the ArtsNow website, where you can learn about a variety of associated events, from dance performances to film screenings.

RADIO CACOPHONY

By Michelle Dove Big Lucks Books, 124 pp.

Blink and You’ll Miss It DURHAM’S MICHELLE DOVE GROWS UP FAST IN RADIO CACOPHONY, HER FIRST FLASH FICTION COLLECTION

BY KENDRA LANGDON JUSKUS

Reading a collection of flash fiction is like hitting Play on the mixtapes of old. It's held together by a thread of a theme, but each vignette is short, spare, and self-contained.

Durhamite Michelle Dove’s first book, Radio Cacophony, is more structured and narrative than some flash fiction collections, which makes it a good introduction to the genre for readers accustomed to longer-form work.

These 120 micro-stories follow the relationships and experiences of a millennial undergraduate radio-station staff, as told by a nameless “redhead who always wears blue.” Dove’s vignettes—most contain fewer than 300 words—necessarily leave out or consolidate a lot: names, physical descriptions, plot details. But they draw the reader into the physical world of the radio station, as well as into the equally dim, intimate, and noisy space of the narrator’s psyche, where most of the action takes place.

What emerges from that space are the narrator’s humorous and bittersweet ruminations on friendship, art, the self, futility, authority, sex, and growing up. She navigates both the mechanics of young adulthood (“We pour ourselves vodka oranges because even in our second semester of college it’s the classiest mixed drink we dare to make”) and the more nuanced art of becoming.

These glimpses into the narrator’s coming of age often end with wry insights: “More than that, I know now that it is doubt, not lust, that is the more resounding emotion,” concludes one story. “Thus begins my lifelong uneasiness regarding the etiquette of graceless sexual exchanges,” concludes another.

Dove’s syntax is straightforward and unadorned, giving these otherwise confessional stories a sense of detachment, especially at first. But that style is in keeping with who the narrator is at the beginning: a college freshman who is “… part of something I know nothing about.” She’s not just talking about her new job at the radio station; the most satisfying aspect of this book—besides the endearing narrator—is her halting but

earnest journey toward a meaningful life.

As her reflections become richer, the style becomes more complex. Dove conjures the self-conscious idealism, at once darling and infuriating, that characterizes the privileged millennial, and then tracks its transformation under the forces of time and experience. Will it collapse in on itself to become an entitled bitterness? Or will it muscle through disillusionment to build a “life of care and creation”?

Dove’s narrator has an “extreme desire for understanding.” She questions. She doubts

her answer. She asks the question in another way, at another bar, of another friend, of herself at another age. At times this spiraling into the narrator’s self-absorption is exasperating, but ultimately the self she seeks is one that transcends the self she is: “There is still a chance that I am more myself every day.” So we respect her quest.

And we glimpse what it could mean for her to become absorbed, instead, in “all it is that we can see and hear and be and do” in the shared cacophony in which we all exist. arts@indyweek.com

Dykes to Watch Out For, a comic strip about a group of lesbians and their friends in the Twin Cities, racked up a generation’s worth of snarky social commentary and, in the bargain, gave us “the Bechdel test,” a new measuring tool for gender inequity in the arts. Then cartoonist Alison Bechdel went fully autobiographical in the 2006 graphic novel Fun Home, a memoir of her childhood and adolescent struggles with her sexual identity—and her gradual realization that her tyrannical, transfixing father, who runs the funeral home where the family lives, was facing similar issues. It took playwright Lisa Kron and composer Jeanine Tesori six years to make a musical of it. The result closed last month after a year and a half on Broadway and a quintet of Tony Awards, including best musical. The touring version should be fresh; it began just three weeks ago, and Durham is its second stop. —Byron Woods

YOUSSOU N’DOUR

The main pillar of Carolina Performing Arts programming this season is Sacred/Secular: A Sufi Journey, which explores the cultural influence of Sufism beyond the Middle East, across the globe. In one of the highlights of the series, celebrated Senegalese artist Youssou N’Dour returns to Chapel Hill, singing traditional Sufi songs as well as cuts from Egypt, his Grammy-winning 2004 album, which focuses on encouraging more tolerant views of Islam. More than a decade later, Egypt still stands up as a gorgeous, richly textured record, and the concert should be equally enlightening and enthralling.

RICHARD BUCKNER

Richard Buckner, who records for Merge Records, is one of those artists whose fans, stronger in ardor than in number, speak of him in hushed tones. Across more than two decades, Buckner has shapeshifted from a somewhat cryptic country and folk singer into a kind of art-pop oracle while always retaining his minimalist intimacy and the warm, rough grain of his voice, like honey poured over bark.

Keyboards and sampler loops have grown over the splintered planks of his guitar playing like ivy, while his impressionistic lyrics about devotion and uncertainty have retreated even further from sense, toward sublime abstraction—precise feeling without narrative.

Buckner’s fall tour brings him to The Shed, presumably road-testing new material while continuing to draw from his exquisite 2013 album, Surrounded, a stark, lush study in hard lights and moving shadows. If you’re not among the ranks of the faithful yet, come join us. —Brian Howe THE SHED, DURHAM | 8 p.m., $15, www.shedjazz.com

MELISSA BROWN

In August, we reported on a big move for Lee Hansley’s pioneering Raleigh art gallery, which was planning to leave Glenwood South, where it had lived for seventeen years of its quarter-century existence. Driven out by parking problems in post-gentrification Glenwood, Hansley reopens this weekend in Dock 1053, a mixed-use warehouse at 1053 East Whitaker Mill Road. The highceilinged, large-windowed industrial space is a far cry from the gallery’s former home in a distinctive Victorian cottage. The grand opening celebration is sobered by the fact that the first exhibit in the new space is a memorial. Planned to coincide with National Cancer Awareness Month, it features thirty paintings by the late Raleigh artist Melissa Brown, who had already attained a national following for her subtle negotiation of figuration and abstraction when she died of breast cancer, at age thirty, in 2001.

Aoife O’Donovan, Willie Watson FOLKSY In January, Aoife FOLKS O’Donovan released the stunning In the Magic Hour.

There, the singer-songwriter’s writing chops are sharper than ever, with beautiful instrumental arrangements that skip effortlessly between folk, vintage pop, rock, and jazz while complementing her gorgeous voice at every turn.

COUNTRY Ascendant CHEESE Nashville-via-Virginia quintet Old Dominion—which features a trio of songwriters who’ve written for commercial country elite like Kenny Chesney, Dierks Bentley, Keith Urban, and The Band Perry—performs its predictably slick Nashville pop with unnatural nods to hip-hop.

Steve Moakler offers more sincere sensitivity in the opening slot.

FRI, OCT 21 KING KING Comprising twin QUEENS sisters Paris and Amber Strother along with collaborator Anita Bias, Los Angeles’s KING concocts synth-drenched R&B that suggests something like eighties-era Anita Baker on a Cocteau Twins bender. If the overarching prettiness of KING’s music occasionally threatens to drift into amorphous dreamscapes, its beautifully rendered vocals and idiosyncratic psychedelic edges on songs like the woozy, wistful “Supernatural” consistently snap matters back into focus. Nick Hakim opens.

—EB [MOTORCO, $20–$25/8 P.M.]

Sneakers

Three Torches WAITS-Y A reverb-addled WEIRDOS Durham-based four-piece who exude a noir-ish cool, Three Torches wield a sonic palette suggestive of Blue Valentine-era Tom Waits by way of Captain Beefheart’s inspired weirdo-jazz exertions. Deftly walking the line between appealingly retro and cloyingly kitsch, the band weds its influences to finely rendered tunes like the amiably black-humored beatnik meditation “Too Big to Fail/You Should Be Dead” or the menacing crypto-blues “Annelid.” The Midnight Gladness Band and Joe Tullos open. —TB [THE PINHOOK, $5/8 P.M.] ALSO ON THURSDAY THE CAVE: Stereo Empire, M is We, Bobby Bryson & The Company; 9 p.m., $5. • DEEP SOUTH: Mike The Prophet and The Bottom Line,

BACK TO In Southern ROCK U rock-drenched mid-seventies Winston-Salem, Sneakers mined its own brand of pop-rock. Chris Stamey and Will Rigby of Sneakers evolved into The dB’s, and Mitch Easter went on to glory as a producer and founder of Let’s Active. In September, after rehearsing heavily, the band reunited at Hopscotch. Tonight, they’ll do it again, with Little Diesel, for what Stamey calls a “crazy what-yearis-it gig.”—DK [MOTORCO, $10–$12/8 P.M.]

CALEB CAUDLE

Earlier this year, Buck O’Hairen’s Legendary Sunshine, a Winston-Salem energy drink purveyor, sent a film crew on the road with another Winston native, country artist Caleb Caudle. The company, billed as the antithesis to Southern moonshine, captured Caudle’s easy energy. One of their five stops together was in Austin, Texas, for South by Southwest.

For many, the sprawling mega-festival is an impersonal juggernaut, but Caudle navigates it with good-natured ease. The streets are lined with people and there are bands everywhere, but he won’t be hurried. Anywhere he goes, from Austin during South-by to hometown venues like Winston-Salem’s The Garage, the songwriter seems settled.

“Home and the feeling of security is something most people seek. The best part is, home can mean so many different things and it was really cool to explain that,” Caudle says of that trip. The Sunshine Presents video series explores the nature of home directly.

Outside a venue in rural Alabama, the film crew asks concertgoers what home means to them. Their faces all glow as they answer: it’s food, dogs and cats, gardening, family.

Caudle, however, had made his statement

already, on this year’s Carolina Ghost. Its title track rides a warm, enveloping shuffle in a gentle country homage to his native state. The album fits like a well-worn pair of jeans, the kind you hope you never have to throw out.

Caudle sings honestly about abandoning a bar-hound lifestyle and losing an attendant suspension of disbelief on “Borrowed Smiles,” and he explores the nature of sustainable love on “Uphill Battle.”

“Carolina Ghost was the most straightforward country record I’ve ever made,” Caudle says. He’s already written its follow-up and is currently working his way through its arrangements and instrumentation. This time around, he’s maximizing what he can do with the studio.

“The next record is a bigger undertaking,” he explains. “It’s more of a song cycle with a lot of recurring themes and layers.”

Friday, Caudle brings his approachable Carolina country and demeanor to Carrboro’s ArtsCenter. Whether you live nearby or not, Caudle will make you feel right at home. Blue Cactus opens. —Corbie Hill THE ARTSCENTER, CARRBORO 8 p.m., $15, www.artscenterlive.org

Lemon Sparks LEMONY Two-thirds of the FRESH Raleigh trio Lemon Sparks—singer-guitarist Jeff Carroll and bassist Rick Lassiter— are maybe better known for their work in the studio: Lassiter’s a producer and an engineer, and Carroll’s a mastering engineer. No real surprise, then, that the band’s self-titled debut is well-crafted and finely honed. It brims with pop-rock confections that conjure The Beatles and Big Star. —PW [DEEP SOUTH, $7/8:30 P.M.]

The Mavericks HYBRID This Grammy-winHEROES ning outfit led by frontman extraordinaire Raul Malo has been honing its mix of rock, ska, rockabilly, Tex-Mex, and other elements since the nineties, when the band’s records sold in the millions. Having split up, re-formed, and fired a founding member, the Nashville-based group found its footing once again INDYweek.com | 10.19.16 | 37

with last year’s Mono. —DK [CAROLINA THEATRE, $37–$86/8 P.M.]

N.C. Symphony: Enigma Variations OPEN The prim nostalgia INQUIRY of Edward Elgar’s Enigma Variations can sometimes overwhelm its surroundings with a numinous glow. The two recent works on this program attempt to outshine Elgar in different ways.

On the one hand, Latvian composer Peteris Vasks’s Epifania builds from a similar point of pathos with long, slow lines. On the other, American Julia Adolphe’s Dark Sand, Sifting Light dwells on the question of mystery in the Elgar, musing on a series of unanswerable questions. —DR [MEYMANDI CONCERT HALL, $18–$71/8 P.M.]

Seratones FIRE LICKS With Get Gone, its debut record released in May on Fat Possum, Louisiana’s Seratones offered a strong collection of scorching, raucous rock songs flecked with garage rock and soul. Most of the band’s power comes from frontwoman AJ Haynes, whose electrifying voice should rattle you even more in person. —AH [CAT’S CRADLE BACK ROOM, $12–$14/9 P.M.] 38 | 10.19.16 | INDYweek.com

Spiritual Rez REGGAE Boston-based ROCK Spiritual Rez plays a populist brand of reggae-infused party-down music whose debt of influence to mid-period Chili Peppers is manifest in both instrumental virtuosity and fraternity row lyrical preoccupations. Don’t think too hard and you’ll probably have a lot of fun.

—TB [POUR HOUSE, $7–$10/9 P.M.]

Telepathy RAP Telepathy is a SLATE showcase series curated by the Ultra Psychic Mega Monolith art collective, and this month’s show brings some of Raleigh’s most talented rising hip-hop artists to the stage.

Co-headliners Ace Henderson and Zensofly top the bill, riding a wave of momentum from their impressive performances at this year’s Hopscotch. FKB$ and Chapel Hill’s Fugo also open.

“I need to know you’re thinking of me,” croons Josiah Johnson in a falsetto on the title track of The Head and the Heart’s new album, Signs of Light. Beginning as a stark piano ballad, it gives way to an orchestral expanse of layered guitar work and violin before settling back into Johnson’s rumination, reduced to a whisper over the final traces of haunting piano. As the album’s closer, its poignancy is threefold. It’s first and foremost a nod to Johnson, who is on hiatus from the band (which includes this tour) as he focuses on his recovery from addiction. Sonically, it marks the upward trajectory of the Seattle six-piece, which has matured significantly since its days climbing the charts alongside bands like Mumford & Sons and The Lumineers. Lyrically, “Signs of Light” encompasses the duality of life that the rest of the album grapples with: the tug-of-

ferocity is worth the cover charge alone, you shouldn’t miss the opening art-punk spasms of Gauche, with members of Priests and Downtown Boys. Raleigh’s Gown head up this solid bill.

war between the dark and the light.

Elsewhere on the record, the light wins out, positing the notion that there’s hope in times of hardship. This sunny disposition is partially rooted in locale.

Co-frontman Jonathan Russell wrote the second track, “City of Angels,” in the heart of Los Angeles during the band’s first major break from touring since releasing its self-titled EP in 2011. The rest of the record follows suit, incorporating the fresh perspectives and renewed energy each member brought to the studio after his or her respective break.

Once the group reconvened, it signed to Warner Brothers Records and took to Nashville to record Signs of Light. For the first time, the band enlisted a producer, Jay Joyce (Little Big Town, Eric Church, Cage the Elephant). As a result, the record is a collection of lush arrangements tinged

SAT, OCT 22 Earlfest B-DAY Chris Dunn, BASH drummer of the Raleigh punk band Machinegun Earl, celebrates his fortieth birthday and provides an impetus for this five-band bash.

Complementing the jagged classic-punk hooks of Dunn’s band, locals Snake & the Plisskens and KIFF, and Fayetteville bands The Gray and The Chemical Lizards, plus Magician Michael Casey, pack the bill. —BCR [THE MAYWOOD, $12/7:30 P.M.]

Oozing Wound THRASH “The Nirvana of MASTERS thrash,” according to Noisey, and “Tipper Gore’s worst fears incarnate,” per Thrill Jockey, its record label, Chicago’s Oozing Wound hammers out an intense, high-volume, bonged-out take on Big Four thrash-metal.

Bolder and sleeker than 2014’s Earth Suck, the trio’s newest record, Whatever Forever, is no less relenting, filled with serrated riffs and bleak gallows humor. The band’s roots lie in Chicago noise rock, but the

with classic rock flourishes. Songs like the harmonic ballad “Colors” soar under Joyce’s production, with Russell, Johnson, and violinist Charity Rose Thielen sharing vocal duties.

Since Johnson’s announcement, though, The Head and the Heart has had to adjust its live show when it comes to tunes like “Colors” and fan favorite “Rivers and Roads.” The band’s friend Matty Gervais is filling in for Johnson, with Russell shifting into the spotlight as frontman. Although the lineup shift is temporary, there’s talk of Gervais remaining with the group after Johnson returns. Until that time, The Head and the Heart will be working to deliver its light far and wide. With Declan McKenna. —Desiré Moses THE RITZ, RALEIGH 8 p.m., $35.50, www.ritzraleigh.com

Windy City’s wide range of metal and punk influence is on ready display. —PW [THE PINHOOK, $10/10:30 P.M.]

Chris Robinson Brotherhood WILD Since splitting from CROWE the Black Crowes in 2011, Chris Robinson and the Brotherhood has produced more stripped-down, laid-back psycheledic roots rock. Its forthcoming EP, If You Lived Here You’d Be Home By Now, out November 6, follows right on the heels of July’s full-length, Anyway You Love, We Know How You Feel.

The group continues its sonic mashup of The Grateful Dead and The Band with shimmery odes to hippie Americana like “Roan County Banjo,” which curiously features no banjo in the mix.

—GB [LINCOLN THEATRE, $20/9 P.M.]

Runaway Cab REGULAR Raleigh’s Runaway ROCK Cab possess a knack for the sort of angsty, riff-driven power pop that no longer dominates modern rock radio but remains a winning staple of Everytown, USA. In the time-honored manner of bands like the Goo Goo Dolls and Soul Asylum, the band’s revved-up seventies rock revels in late nights

and lonely towns, with a cathartic live show tailor-made for beautiful losers on the make. —TB [SOUTHLAND BALLROOM, $10/9 P.M.]

Shifting Sands KIWI POP Some towns just have sounds unique and endemic to them. Athens has one; so does Carrboro. Seattle had one, for a while. The New Zealand university town Dunedin has a signature sound, too, that tied together the bands that made up Flying Nun Records’ earliest roster: The Chills, The Verlaines, and, later, The Clean. Dunedin trio Shifting Sands operates in that grand tradition, and does right by the bands that preceded it. Schooner opens. —PW [THE PINHOOK, $8/7:30 P.M.]

Jon Stickley Trio EAGER Jon Stickley Trio’s PICKERS ambitious second record, 2015’s Lost at Last, used an expanded sonic palette to explore everything from Appalachian folk to jazzy jams through the lens of progressive acoustic music with fleet flatpicking, dynamic fiddling, and diverse rhythms. One year later, the adventurous Asheville ensemble has just announced a crowdfunding campaign for its forthcoming follow-up—produced by The Bad Plus drummer Dave King—along with an EP,

Joanna Teters

7/8 SolKitchen & The Art of Cool Project: The Art of Noise #Durham

FRI

Triangular, that’s heavy on worldly influences. Opener Blanko Basnet, which features Stickley’s brother Jeff on drums, makes this a family affair. —SG [CAT’S CRADLE BACK ROOM, $8–$10/8:30 P.M.]

SOUL Joanna Teters has SWING created a lane for herself with a new-school sound that does well with fans of today’s soul revival. She has impressive range as a performer, which gives her the ability to hop into other genres like reggae and the blues with ease. She’ll be joined on stage by the members of Mad Satta, with Queen’s Guard opening this edition of 9th Wonder and Art of Cool’s Caramel City. —CM [POUR HOUSE, $10/9 P.M.]

SUN, OCT 23

Marcel Tyberg Project: Music Lost in the Holocaust SOMBER For this Duke SONGS Performances installment, the South Dakota Chorale has put together a project honoring Marcel Tyberg, a Viennese composer who perished at Auschwitz during World War II. Days before his arrest, Tyberg handed off all of his scores, and they ended up in an archive in Buffalo, New York. The South Dakota Chorale performs some of his works, as well as Eric Zeisl’s Requiem Ebraico, a$10 1945advance piece that memorializes those murdered in the Holocaust. It’ll be a somber affair, but a beautifully poignant one, too. —AH [DUKE CHAPEL, $10–$36/8 P.M.]

Matt Wertz MIDDLE Nashville veteran POP Matt Wertz brings genuine passion to his falsettodriven blue-eyed soul, which at its best channels Hall & Oates ladies-choice laments and at its worst veers dangerously close to Lonely Island-esque loverman pastiche. As a songwriter, his $10 advance featherweight compositions are difficult to resist but even harder to remember. Cappa and Aaron Krause open. —EB [LOCAL 506, $16–$20/7 P.M.]

Dylan Golden Aycock

/

ACE Like contemporaries PICKING Daniel Bachman and William Tyler, Dylan Golden Aycock is a virtuosic acoustic guitarist well versed in the Takoma Records catalog but pushing the envelope by using American Primitive as a launching point for mesmerizingly melodic and atmospheric instrumentals.

Lake Mary favors experimental drones, whileof Frank Meadows $12 day adds improvisational bass. —SG [NEPTUNES, $6–$8/9 P.M.]

Caspian CRESCEN- So you like DOS! post-rock, but you find Explosions in the Sky too precious, Godspeed You! Black Emperor too prolix, and Pelican too lumbering? Caspian’s the band for you. It’s heavy but not too heavy, discursive but not circumlocutory, and with plenty of sweet, sweet crescendos to go around. Appleseed Cast opens.

—PW [KINGS, $15/8 P.M.]

/ $12 day of

The recent expansion to a quartet helps showcase those strengths.

—PW [NEPTUNES, $7/9 P.M.] ALSO ON MONDAY POUR HOUSE: Birthday Club, Roar the Engines; 9 p.m., $5. • THE RITZ: The Head and the Heart; 8 p.m., $36.

See box, page 38.

TUE, OCT 25 Allison Crutchfield SWEAR With her band, ON IT Swearin’, Allison Crutchfield slung tight, brash rock songs before moving toward colorful, electro-textured tunes for her 2014 solo record, Lean In To It. Crutchfield’s work is easygoing, confident, and always compelling.

She’s got a new record due via Merge next year, so expect to hear some of those songs here.

—AH [THE PINHOOK, $10/9 P.M.]

Ms. Lisa Fischer & Grand Baton STARRY Some five years SONGS after winning a Grammy for “How Can I Ease the Pain” in 1991, Brooklyn-born vocalist Lisa Fischer ditched her solo career to concentrate on the less-frenetic existence of a background vocalist, touring with the likes of the Stones and Trent Reznor. Then came 20 Feet From Stardom, a doc that cast such a compelling light on her that she was lured back to the stage—this time, on her own terms. —DK [CAROLINA THEATRE, $33–$75/8 P.M.]

Rooney POWER It’s been more than a POP decade since Rooney made a cameo appearance on the teen T.V. drama The O.C. The brainchild of singer-songwriter Robert Schwartzman, the pop-rock project took off in the early 2000s, opening for bands like Weezer and The Strokes. Lying dormant since 2010’s Eureka, Schwartzman is back with a new Rooney album, Washed Away.

Fans can expect the same hook-driven power pop on this reboot. —DEM [CAT’S CRADLE, $16–$18/8 P.M.] ALSO ON TUESDAY KINGS: Friends as Enemies, Sparrows; 7:30 p.m., $8. • LOCAL 506: PUP, Cayetana, Chastity; 9 p.m., $12–$15. • POUR HOUSE: Mungion, Broccoli Samurai; 9 p.m., $5–$8. • RUBY DELUXE: Tescon Pol; 11 p.m. • SHARP NINE GALLERY: NCJRO; 8 p.m., $10–$20. • SLIM’S: Old Codger, Die Choking, Department of Corrections, Skuz; 8 p.m., $5. • UNC’S MEMORIAL HALL: Youssou N’Dour; 7:30 p.m., $19–$69.

See page 34.

WED, OCT 26 Tommy Castro CALI Tommy Castro BLUES sounds like Delbert McClinton with Wilson Pickett stuck in his throat. And he plays guitar like a rockin’ blues demon, offering gritty, soul-soaked blues, while being versatile enough to morph from the Hill country drone of “The Devil You Know” to a Wet Willie revival of “Keep On Smilin’.”

—GB [BLUE NOTE GRILL, $25/7:30 P.M.]

Dicaprio ANGULAR Due to a last-minute JAMS tour cancellation citing health reasons, Atlanta art-punks Warehouse had to drop off this show. A bummer, but you’ll find there’s still plenty of angular guitar goodness to be had. Atlanta’s Dicaprio is a taut post-punk trio fronted by ex-Places To Hide singer Kyle Swick. The band prays at the altar of dissonant nineties greats like Polvo and Drive Like Jehu. There’s also Chapel Hill pop experimentalist SMLH. —DS [SLIMS, $5/9 P.M.]

Hatebreed LOTS OF After more than CHAOS twenty years, nobody expects to be surprised by a Hatebreed album. To wit, the band’s seventh LP, May’s The Concrete Confessional, doesn’t stray from the band’s consistent

fusion of old-school thrash and youth crew hardcore. Frontman Jamey Jasta barks aggressively in the vague shape of hooks.

Guitarists Frank Novinec and Wayne Lozinak volley low, muted riffs and sharp solos, while bassist Chris Beattie and drummer Matt Byrne match deep metal grooves with a dragging hardcore stomp.

There’s nothing novel here, but it’s the same stuff that built a steady and stalwart fanbase, so if it ain’t broke... —BCR [CAT’S CRADLE, $25–$28/8 P.M.]

Shonen Knife POP CULT That Shonen Knife has amassed sixteen albums over a thirty-five year career is astounding on its own. That sixteenth album, April’s Adventure, has all the buzzy pop-punk charm that made fans as disparate as Sonic Youth and the Mr. T Experience is even more impressive. Merging the Ramones’ knack for simple chords with girl group harmonies and C-86 pep, Adventure feels like a sunny middle ground between mid-era Screeching Weasel pop-punk and Beat Happening twee. Amanda X opens. —BCR [THE PINHOOK, $13–$15/8 P.M.]

T.I. STILL For a rapper whose STRONG career zenith was nearly a decade ago—a blazing streak of back-to-back-to-back No. 1 albums released between 2006 and 2008—T.I. has aged extraordinarily well, remaining relevant to this day. His new EP, Us or Else, focuses on Black Lives Matter, state oppression, and police brutality—decidedly current subject matter for an old head who, thankfully, isn’t stuck in the past. —RC [REYNOLDS COLISEUM, $30/8 P.M.] ALSO ON WEDNESDAY KINGS: MC Frontalot, Doubleclicks; 9:30 p.m. • NIGHTLIGHT: October919 Noise Showcase; $5–$7. • POUR HOUSE: The Ohio Weather Band, Air Crash Detectives, John Black, Veda St; 9 p.m., $5–$8. • THE RITZ: Lecrae, Ambré; 8 p.m., $25.

PHOTO FROM VOYAGER BY JUSTIN COOK

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE MAKERY

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21

JUSTIN COOK: VOYAGER The peculiarly toxic year of 2015, with its constant drumbeat of needless death, xenophobia, and race-to-the-bottom politics, sent Justin Cook westward. The Durham-based photographer headed to Las Vegas with a digital rangefinder camera and an inclination to put some distance between himself and the state of the world. The photographs in Voyager present an American West in its present flawed state, where remaining unspoiled vistas do battle with those marred by hordes of heedless humans and their inelegant accoutrements. One telling image shows a bison and an SUV at an apparent standoff on a highway at Yellowstone; in another, a jagged section of the snowcapped Teton range towers over a landscape whose lower third is a cookie-cutter row of Porta Potties. As a part of the Click! Triangle Photography Festival, the exhibit runs for two days at The Makery at Mercury Studio, with an artist talk at 7 p.m. Thursday and a reception on Friday night. —David Klein THE MAKERY AT MERCURY STUDIO, DURHAM 6–8 p.m., free, www.themakeryatmercury.com Durham Voices from UNC School of Communications and Media: Ongoing.

Jiménez adds a Z axis to most abstractionists’ X and Y, resulting in pieces that change not only depending on the viewer but on where the viewer physically stands. Thru Oct 28.

On the other hand, the cars offer a nuanced look at how design aesthetics responded to the production line and its consumerist culture with a mixture of fantasy and faith.

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.

THE CRUCIBLE

Next month, when millions of voters cast their ballots based on their fear of the opposing candidate, they’ll be continuing a long American tradition. Though Edward R. Murrow once asserted that “we are not descended from fearful men,” fear has been an indelible part of the American experience from the days when the fear of religious persecution drove European exiles here. In the 1950s, the fear-mongering and injustices of McCarthyism reminded playwright Arthur Miller of another American moment.

The Crucible, his classic historical drama, carefully probes the Salem Witch Trials of the late 1600s as a cautionary metaphor for his—and our—times. —Byron Woods PLAYMAKERS REPERTORY COMPANY, CHAPEL HILL Various times, $10–$62, www.playmakersrep.org

JANICE Y.K. LEE: THE EXPATRIATES The latest book by the celebrated author of The Piano Teacher centers on a trio of overachieving Korean American women experiencing various forms of upheaval in their adopted home of Hong Kong. Of the two who have come east to accommodate a husband’s job, one is trapped in a loveless marriage and hungers for motherhood, while the other grapples with unrecoverable loss.

Completing the triad is a recent Columbia graduate who struggles to find her footing in a world that feels provisional on every level.

As in Lee’s previous best-seller, The Expatriates balances acute social satire with nuanced character development and finely calibrated language. Her depiction of Americans abroad has been praised in the grandest way possible, with comparisons to Henry James from The New York Times, which pretty much says it all.

BURDEN

To the untrained eye, what Chris Burden did by electrocuting himself in the name of art in 1973 and what members of the Jackass crew did in running through a gauntlet of Tasers suspended by strings may not be immediately clear. But Burden, perhaps best known for having himself crucified on the hood of a VW Beetle, was after something far beyond mere survival or stunt mastery. Once he (no doubt wisely) retired his self-harming artistic palette in the seventies, Burden entered a fruitful second act as the creator of mind-bending installation art, like his sixty-five-foot tower built from Erector set pieces. The documentary Burden, showing on Friday as part of the Full Frame Road Show, offers a comprehensive, multimedia portrait of this undeniably fascinating artist, replete with footage from the early years that still has the capacity to shock. —David Klein
