Historic Macon’s Annual Flea Market November 3-7

Contributors Marla Horton has lived in Macon, Georgia her entire life, first by birth, but now by choice.

She graduated from Middle Georgia State University with a BA in English and now spends her free time exploring her favorite city. In addition to words, she also consumes generous amounts of both red wine and red meat. If she is not reading/writing, drinking Cabernet Sauvignon, or eating burgers with bleu cheese, she is probably asleep.

Renee Corwine spent 13 years as a newspaper editor before switching this summer to a full time career in freelance writing and editing. She and her husband, Jake, live in Macon with three fur babies: Abbey, Ella and Whiskers. In addition to writing, Renee is a personal trainer and teaches classes at Pure Barre Macon (that’s exercise, not booze). A full Ironman finisher, she still dabbles in triathlon, but would rather spend her time taking selfies in foreign countries, drinking whiskey and torturing others through exercise. Find her on Inta @ reneecorwine.

It’s always a good thing when you can combine the fun of shopping with the satisfaction of helping out a worthy cause, and one of Macon’s best opportunities to do this, Historic Macon Foundation’s Flea Market, is coming up on November 3-7. The Flea Market, which has been going on for nearly 40 years, is Historic Macon’s largest and most popular fundraiser; last year, nearly $40,000 was raised to go towards the foundation’s pledge of preserving and sharing our local architecture and history.

New this year is the ultra-exclusive Flea Market Fanatic pass – this pass, limited to 30 tickets, will enable its owner to shop on Friday, November 3 from 6-7 pm, which is an hour earlier than everyone else, and it also includes a reusable Historic Macon tote bag and a glass of champagne to enjoy while shopping. These passes are $80 for members

and $100 for non-members – and again, all proceeds go directly to Historic Macon and the work they’re doing locally.

The popular annual Preview Party will be held Friday, November 3 from 7-10 pm. Tickets to this event are $20 for members and $25 for non-members; in addition to the early access to shopping, these tickets also include a catered dinner with wine and beer from Macon Beer Company next door.

Saturday, November 4 from 8 am to 3 pm and Sunday, November 5 from 1 pm to 5 pm, the sale will be free and open to the public. The Flea Market is located in its new permanent home at 357 Oglethorpe Street downtown.

For more information, or to purchase tickets to any of the above events, visit Historic Macon’s website at www.historicmacon.org or give them a call at 478-742-5084.

Mercer’s “Go Baby Go” Event to Provide Toy Cars For Children with Limited Mobility Mercer University’s School of Engineering Scholars will host a third Go Baby Go event on Oct. 28, 12:30-3:30 p.m., on University Center Intramural Court No. 3 to modify battery-powered toy cars for children with limited mobility.

Go Baby Go is a national, community-based research, design and outreach program begun in 2012 at the University of Delaware. Integrating assistive technology, families, clinicians and industry partners, the program helps provide children with disabilities the opportunity for movement, mobility and socialization.

The University held its first two events in December 2016 and March 2017.

Mercer students will build and modify cars to fit the specific needs of children in approximately 16 families. Four compact vehicles will be built to serve the mobility needs of children under 3 years of age and 10 mid-size vehicles will be modified to serve children between the ages of 3 and 7.

In addition, a mid-size vehicle with foot-operated steering and an ATV-style vehicle that provides some physical therapy will be constructed.

The build event is supported by Dr. Sybil Keesbury in the Tift College of Education, Dr. Robert Watson in the De04 OCTOBER 27 - NOVEMBER 10, 2017

partment of Technical Communication within the School of Engineering and Dr. Alyssa Fiss in the Department of Physical Therapy within the College of Health Professions. Lockheed Martin provided financial support for materials and supplies.

“The Engineering Scholars Track of the Mercer University Honors Program is excited about incorporating Go Baby Go builds as a thread through the track. Freshman, sophomore and senior Engineering Scholars will participate in builds every year,” said Dr. Phil McCreanor, professor of environmental engineering and director of the Engineering Scholars.

“The nature of Go Baby Go is a great fit for the School of Engineering, which has a history of client-based engineering design projects that serve community needs.

Conducting these builds across the various academic levels of the Engineering Scholars Track provides an opportunity to show the freshman- and sophomore-level Engineering Scholars how engineers can use their skills to serve their community as well as a connection back to the beginning of their engineering studies.”

Passionate about twangy prose and a devotee of Southern culture, Stacey deepened her wordsmithing skills serving as an editor and contributing writer for such magazines as Victoria, Sandra Lee’s Semi-Homemade, Taste of the South and Relish. Her hobbies include writing a Macon-centric blog, trolling the Internet for truly revolting vintage recipes, collecting real (not department store) art, and cooking. In her spare time, Stacey is the proud Mother of Doggos (it is known).

Much to her disappointment, however, her mutts, Miss Oda Mae Brown and Margaret Thatcher, have yet to breathe actual fire no matter how many times she yells “dracarys” at them.

Mercer has given me a sure foundation and I feel so secure there.

I Am A Mercerian.

Sarena Watkins Fuller, Adult Undergraduate Student If anyone knows a thing or two about the power of second chances, it’s Sarena Watkins Fuller. Embarking on her sophomore year at Mercer University through its undergraduate degree program for adult learners, the Communication major says she is finally getting the opportunity to pursue what had, at one point, seemed like long-lost educational goals.

But then again, life experience has already taught Sarena that nothing is impossible, and when it comes to chasing your dreams, there’s no time like the present. As a two-year survivor of stage III breast cancer, every day is precious.

“I got my diagnosis on May 19, 2014,” Sarena says, adding that when she was rushed into treatment, she was determined to come out the other side. And she did. “I licked it in 10 months.”

With “everything to live for,” and willing to embrace “whatever the universe has assigned me to do,” Sarena, a licensed minister for more than 20 years, wasn’t necessarily thinking of obtaining a college degree.

But love and basketball had other ideas for her.

“My husband and I were looking for something to do for free and he happened to come across free Mercer basketball tickets on Facebook.

He asked if I would be interested in going,” she recalls. “I was, like, ‘yeah! – I just survived breast cancer and I'm living life again.’ I'd never been to a collegiate basketball game in my life. We went for a date night, and when I walked into the gymnasium, into that basketball arena, I literally felt like a fish in water. I was getting a new source of oxygen and I didn't know why or where it was coming from, but that place hyped

my soul up – my spirit just came alive.”

Then serendipity stepped in.

“At two o'clock that morning, we were still awake talking about different things and one word led to another, one conversation led to another, and I said you know what? I got it. I think I know what it is.

I'm going to enroll at Mercer University.”

Much to her surprise, she says, Sarena received an immediate response from the Mercer Admissions Office to help her navigate the application process.

“I was shocked. I wasn't sure if I was actually on the right path. I was what I called ‘turning doorknobs’ to see why this was touching my soul like it was.” When that door opened, she walked through it without a backward glance.

“They walked me through the process,” she says – from entrance exams to opening new pathways to pursuing a Communication degree.

“I didn't realize Mercer even had a working adult program. I was excited to learn about that. It works with your schedule. It's so versatile.”

Today, with the help and guidance of Mercer advisors and faculty members, Sarena is immersed in the college experience and proud to call herself a Mercer Bear.

“I’m tearful-eye proud. Mercer is prestigious – Mercer is a pulse in this city.” she says. “It's been life-changing, life-coaching, life-enhancing.

I found my group, I found my place … Mercer is going to be a vehicle for where I want to go.”

Diary of a Madman Part III in a 4-part series exploring the life and crimes of Jason Howard, alias Kevin W. Lewis, imprisoned since 2012 for the point-blank shooting deaths of his elderly mother and stepfather in their Liberty County home. After eluding capture for nearly 5 years, Jason was finally nabbed by local cops here in Macon in 2009. While questions seem to linger about the double homicide, clues left behind in Jason’s own words leave little doubt that he was, and no doubt remains, plagued by severe mental illness. By Stacey Norwood Abductors: Don’t misunderstand who I am. I have a routine and a schedule. I also have the self-discipline and organization to keep track of the time … and I know when I’m missing time. That last time really pissed me off because you took me with an empty stomach and returned me with an empty stomach, you could have fed me. It is arrogant and inconsiderate of you to abduct me without my consent or an explaination [sic]. Perhaps with an explaination [sic], I could offer my consent. I would request the following: 1. a human female companion 2. new teeth (installed) 3. repair of soft tissue injury in right elbow 4. $500,000 dollars in U.S. currency (10s & 20s) 5. new and legitimate identification documents 6. request to view genetic offspring I feel that you are making a profit off of me without my consent. I ask that you do the right thing.

- Abductee, March 18th, 2009 Letter found in Jason Howard’s possession during his arrest “Dee says she’s hearing the voices again.”

Though I was but knee-high to a grasshopper when I overheard my mother talking on the telephone to her sister, I remember the conversation vividly. Even now, I can shut my eyes and recall the prim flower-printed housecoat Mama was wearing. I remember clearly how the long stretchy cord connecting the phone’s mustard-colored handset to the rotary dial casing mounted on our kitchen wall looped and swooped and tightened in step with my mother’s tense, troubled pacing as she talked.

I was (and admittedly remain) a little pitcher with big ears, and I had long since perfected the art of lurking around corners to eavesdrop during my mother’s almost daily phone calls to her sister, my Aunt Nancy. But this call wasn’t the usual exchange of recipes and dinner ideas (it’s called pepper steak and you serve it over rice) or next-steps plotting in the latest family squabble (well then, Daddy can just sit over there drunk by himself this Christmas). Even as a kid, I knew that if my great aunt Dee was “hearing the voices again,” that meant she was having another one of her “episodes.”

What I didn’t fully comprehend until much later in life, of course, was that Dee was a diagnosed schizophrenic, and her waking delusions included being unshakably convinced the food she was served, even the water she drank, was being poisoned by unknown hands. In her lucid moments, which were prolonged, pleasant, and carefully regulated by anti-psychotic meds, Dee loved to paint, play the piano, and tinker in her rather glorious rose garden. She let me and my cousins stay up late and watch movies when we spent the night, and she taught

“…going on Red Alert, Kill mode.

Should’ve known better – yeah while I’m lying in bed coloring “sunshine and Love” somebody else was on my turf laying a trap.” us the favorite dance of her youth – the Charleston. She was fun. But when Dee was having an episode, the light in her eyes would diminish into hateful little pinpoints, and she became withdrawn and hollow in a way that was frightening.

As a kid, I was aware Dee had spent much of her adult life at “Bryce,” and that she was terrified of being sent back there. I didn’t know then, of course the facility was Alabama’s oldest, largest and somewhat infamous mental institution. But I heard Dee tell enough stories about her time there to make it clear to me Bryce Hospital was no place I ever wanted to end up. It was only later in life that I learned the heartbreaking details of the electroshock therapy Dee endured behind those institutional walls, and how, very likely, many of the terrible stories of abuse she would tell us were probably true. After Dee’s death, Mama told me also how my great-grandfather, Pop, hung his head and cried when Dee’s doctors wanted to cut into her beautiful artist’s brain and lobotomize her – a “cure” he agonized over, and ultimately refused to allow.

Reflecting on it now, I remember how Dee’s “episodes” could bring out a spitting meanness that was never present in her otherwise. She could say cruel things – she even slapped Libba, the mentally and functionally incapacitated sister who lived with her, once or twice. But Libba, (likely autistic and definitely the family pet) would just tell Mama or Aunt Nancy what Dee had done and sort of giggle when they both set in on her. I don’t recall, however, Dee even one time committing a truly violent act. I asked my brother, several years older than me, and he doesn’t either.

It doesn’t take much Googling of reputable medical sources and scholarly psychiatric journals to discover the debate about whether schizophrenics are prone to violence appears to be divided between factions. Some mental health care providers maintain it’s uncommon while others cite empirical evidence that certain subsets of schizophrenics present as overtly dangerous.

Where Jason Howard falls in the mix – crazy like a fox or an untreated psychiatric and criminal disaster waiting to happen - is still vexingly unclear.

On 05-05-2004 at 19:53 Deputy James Caines was dispatched to the area of 6006 W. Highway 196 in reference to suspicious acts. Upon my arrival, I spoke with the complainant, Mrs. Wanda Parnell and she stated that she received a letter in the mail that was postmarked from Macon, GA. She stated that she needed to go to the residence and feed the fish and dog. In the letter, it advised her there was a key on the passenger side front tire of the Model A vehicle for the residence … She stated that Mrs. Cleveland and her husband Jewel Cleveland were older and had a mentally disturbed son that had threatened them before.

She stated she had not heard from the Clevelands since Easter … I entered the residence and found the TV left on and the dog there; when I looked in a bedroom with a pistol and a rifle with ammunition laying beside it … Mrs. Parnell located in the living room an envelope containing money that had a note on it to use the money so the dog would not be taken to the animal shelter.

Liberty County Incident Report, Case #04060843 Marked “Internal Copy” It’s been a long day in Liberty County, and not the most productive. Though God knows I love a scenic drive, I had been unprepared for the length of time getting from Macon to the Hinesville County Courthouse would take.

When I finally make it to the Superior Court Clerk’s office just after 1 p.m., the employee who’s been assigned to pull the court records in Jason Howard’s 2012 court case informs me she can’t leave me alone with the records and most of them are unavailable for viewing anyway. They’ve been sealed by a judge’s order.

As though to prove her point, she lugs out a cumbersome cardboard file box and starts plopping bulky manila envelopes on the table before us. Each is tantalizingly marked “Evidence” yet spitefully sealed shut – I can touch but I cannot look. And though she is as professional and pleasant as she can be – despite the fact that my late arrival and my very presence is causing her to miss her lunch hour – I am taken off-guard and close to getting out of sorts. After all, I just drove three and half hours through 11thHourOnline.com 13

“Don’t be afraid, we are now friends. When I was short of time one of the last things I did was to put my spirit into this bottle … I’ve now attached myself to you. My name is Kevin, we’re gonna be good friends. I like camel cigarettes, black coffee, Pepsi, cake, pizza and the television show “la femme Nakita (not the movie). We’re gonna get along just fine. Where there was once one, there are now two, we are two me an’ you. You will find that I’m a good advisor, don’t be afraid to talk to me, what’s good for you is good for me. I’m not going back into the bottle. If you disrespect me like that, I will cause you extreme pain (long lasting). We are friends. Let’s eat. I love you & life.” the South Georgia swelter and a hells half acre of swarming “love bugs” committing blatant, insecty congress right out in the open and all over my car. I can feel my back bowing up ever so slightly as she tells me “you’re not allowed to look at” for the umpteeth time.

When it’s finally made clear to me, though, that the evidence in the case has been sealed because Jason Howard pled guilty, the light comes on and I relax.

Ohhhhhhhh. “You mean the case never actually went to the jury?” I ask. She nods like a proud mother whose somewhat slow child finally got picked for something at school. By the time I have to leave (because the courthouse is closing), I am weighted down with questions – including how a guy mentally ill enough to receive a Social Security check every month could be found competent to stand trial. Not to mention how in the world a double murder case had gotten pled down to voluntary manslaughter and 20 years in prison. Jason’s court-appointed attorney, still a public defender in Liberty County, had already declined to answer any questions about the case and comments from the former prosecutor were limited mostly to vague references to a less than case-closed body of evidence.

As I’m heading out, I notice a group of deputies on security detail huddled together at the security checkpoint located just inside the entranceway. I’m three steps away from the exit before I turn around and take a bead on of the older officers. “Hey, by any chance, were you in the department when Jason Howard was convicted a few years ago for killing his mama and step-daddy?” I ask. He sure was, he says. He was even in the courtroom when Jason entered his guilty plea “completely out of the blue.”

Huh. Here I am, just about to leave Liberty County all but empty-handed, and just like that, somebody drops a steak on my plate.

A few minutes more of conversation with the good-natured deputy yields some scuttlebutt about the victims (“they were a little weird, to tell you the truth”) and that as soon as Jason Howard heard Wanda Parnell testify she would “never send that little dog to the animal shelter” the accused murderer tapped his lawyer on the shoulder and whispered something in his ear. Both men left the courtroom shortly thereafter, returning after a brief recess with an announcement that “shocked everyone sitting in the courtroom,” the deputy tells me.

“It was all over the dog. As soon as he found out that dog was gonna be ok, he pleaded guilty.”

The defendant in this matter requests that the court would order the Liberty County Jail to remove the defendant from the jail’s general population and place the defendant into an isolation cell … the defendant feels that he was deliberately placed in a screamin’ boogaloo cell to disrupt his ability to work on his defense, to adversely affect his health, and to possibly provoke a violent incident.

Submitted to the Clerk of Superior Court, Liberty County, Jason M. Howard, Dec. 6, 2010 Jason Howard’s 11th-hour concession to prosecutors does seems puzzling. Particularly as it fell on the heels of a barrage of correspondence from Jason directly to prosecutors so copious, the district attorney’s office added the reams of letters into evidence, dubiously noting the jail mail “supports competency.”

And then there was that eyebrow-raising motion

14 OCTOBER 27 - NOVEMBER 10, 2017

filed by Jason’s own attorney a week prior to the plea deal asking the court to allow testimony that “others are responsible for the crimes set forth.” The motion named “Kenneth Manning” who was “in no way related to Jewel or Mildred Cleveland” yet who “has a remainder interest in one-half of the entire estate per Mr. Cleveland’s will.

“Kenneth Manning further believed that he was entitled to acreage owned by Mr. Jewel Cleveland immediately upon his passing and actively sought to gain title to the acreage … Upon discovery of the bodies and before being granted lawful authority to conduct business on behalf of the estate (he) took virtually every vehicle from the Cleveland family home to his residence in Wayne County.”

Even more directly, the motion claimed Kenneth Manning – who referred to Jewel Cleveland as a “silent partner” in his pawn shop business – “had a detailed knowledge of the Cleveland’s guns and other personal property including a stamp collection, a coin collection, and where Mr. Cleveland kept his cash.”

Mildred Cleveland, however, had not listed Kenneth Manning as an heir to her estate, the motion states. “Mr. Manning clearly has a financial motive to commit the crime and needs Mildred Cleveland to predecease her husband in order for him to receive anything.”

Coupled with the contention that the pawn shop merchant had failed to pass a polygraph test, Kenneth Manning had “consistently tried to shift blame to the Defendant, even speculating as to a possible motive,” the defense motion continues.

Which is a notable point. Because in all my scouring over court records and news reports, I can find no clear-cut evidence that even the prosecution had zeroed in an obvious motive.

Hello friend! Don’t be afraid, we are now friends. When I was short of time one of the last things I did was to put my spirit into this bottle … I’ve now attached myself to you. My name is Kevin, we’re gonna be good friends. I like camel cigarettes, black coffee, Pepsi, cake, pizza and the television show “la femme Nakita (not the movie).

We’re gonna get along just fine. Where there was once one, there are now two, we are two me an’ you. You will find that I’m a good advisor, don’t be afraid to talk to me, what’s good for you is good for me. I’m not going back into the bottle. If you disrespect me like that, I will cause you extreme pain (long lasting). We are friends.

Let’s eat. I love you & life.

Second letter found in Jason Howard’s possession, 2009 Discovered scrolled inside a plastic bottle When I was first handed the journals that led me to Liberty County, my own family experience was all that I really knew about the kind of mental illness so severe it can likely never be cured, only contained.

Written under the alias Kevin W. Lewis, the diaries Jason had maintained while on the run from the law and hiding out in the woods of Macon detail the inner workings of his mind and depict a break with reality so bone-deep it’s chilling to read. The very ink on each page fairly drips with an unhinged lunacy that ranges from the mildly delusional (Paul Harvey is triggering the sleepers) to the wildly paranoid.

“SHIT!! Oh SHIT! See what happens when I lower my guard … Last night I got back at 12:30 a.m., heavy drizzle, rained all day heavy at times,” reads an entry

dated Dec. 31, 2006. “At 5 p.m., I went to get a load of drinking water, when I noticed that in my trail someone had set up a huge snare, either man or deer-sized.

It was very skillfully done, very impressive, skills beyond my own…going on Red Alert, Kill mode.

Should’ve known better – yeah while I’m lying in bed coloring “sunshine and Love” somebody else was on my turf laying a trap.”

I know from talking with the Macon investigator who apprehended Jason Howard that his “bed” was a brand-new Jeep he’d stolen from the same Enterprise rental center on Riverside where he was ultimately apprehended. His “turf ” was an encampment plastered with hand-scrawled signs warning any encroachers of the lice, tuberculosis and AIDS “infestations” that permeated the place.

The detective had also noted Jason’s camp was littered with can after 5-gallon can of gasoline, ostensibly siphoned from the same automobiles he’d been scrounging around in and stealing from to survive.

With both a means of escape (the Jeep) and the fuel needed to make a run for it, how, I wondered, had Jason Howard came to be mired down in Macon for years, living “on the wing” as police called it, less than a 3-hour drive from a brutal, bloody crime scene that made him the subject of a national manhunt?

Had he been stranded for reasons unknown or simply trapped in the snare of his broken mind?

Though I can find no paperwork detailing Jason’s specific diagnosis, the prosecutor in the case had told me his mother referred to her son as a “paranoid schizophrenic” when she reported a missing family she believed Jason had absconded with a few years before the murder. She also described him as dangerous.

But then again, members of Mildred’s family describe both her and Jewel as abusive in pre-trial court filings, and neighbors in the community concur, albeit mostly in whispers.

Even die-hard fans of America’s Most Wanted seemed to feel a rare sympathy after viewing the 2005 segment detailing the double murder and seeking leads for Jason’s whereabouts. In an online AMW fan forum, a man using the moniker “Scumhunter” writes, “A lot of these guys diagnosed with schizophrenia or other types of mental illness oftentimes should have been in some sort of mental health clinic. I think Jason Howard was a great example of this - because it’s rough for any parent to handle a child or young adult with mental illness - but according to AMW’s re-enactment, Howard was an adult living with two elderly parents who ALSO seemed to not be able to completely take care of themselves. I’m not saying they deserved to die, but they were constantly nagging and making a guy with a mental disorder wait on them hand on foot.”

All of which leads me to the one question I can’t seem to shake about Jason Howard and his twistyturny case: Just how much justice was truly served with that guilty plea?

In the fourth and final upcoming installment of Diary of a Madman, we will delve into Jason Howard current-day status as a Georgia prison inmate as well the probate dispute surrounding Jewel and Mildred Cleveland’s estate.

CULTURE CLUB T H E L O C A L T O U R I S T | B Y M A R L A H O RT O N

If I had to assign each day of the week a specific trait, ‘Sunday’ would undoubtedly fall somewhere between hospitable and hate. It seems that Sundays are about as polarizing as pineapple on pizza or cilantro on just about anything—you either love them or hate their stupid, endof-the-weekend guts. Like cilantro, which is either the holy in your guacamole or a mouthful of suds, Sundays are also either adored or abhorred. There is no middle ground. Likewise, while some folks consider pineapple a tangy treat when mixed with marinara and cheese, others view it as a sin against the pizza’s sanctity.

Even the musical realm appears to be divided on the topic. If you are like Lionel Richie, you might be “easy, easy like Sunday morning.” But if your disposition is more aligned with that of Johnny Cash, you might disagree, believing instead that “there’s something in a Sunday that makes the body feel alone.”

Personally, I find that the dilemma with Sunday is in the mere difference between morning and afternoon. The minutes of a Sunday morning pass by slowly, the coffee pot purrs gently, the washing machine and dryer sing their sweet, leisurely tune. The hours of Sunday afternoon, however, do not simply pass by, but push by instead, elbows wide, jabbing into your increasingly tender sides. To summarize with clichés: Sundays are either the apple of your eye or a thorn in your side. More often than not, they are both.

The Macon Film Guild offers a solution to these mixed emotions of Sunday reds and blues. Founded in 1999, the Macon Film Guild presents Macon with an alternative activity for those restful, weary hours of Sunday afternoon.

The Macon Film Guild features films, usually of the foreign and/or independent variety, that would not usually be available for viewing in Middle Georgia. Admission is only $5.00, and with showings at 2:00, 4:30, and 7:30 PM, you can plan your Sunday spiral accordingly.

The Douglas Theatre, which first opened its doors in 1921, now opens its same charming doors on the second Sunday of each month to every sad and sluggish soul drifting through the afternoon. The theatre, filthy rich with history, has hosted performances by artists such as Otis Redding and Bessie Smith. Today, it continues to support the arts, now both music and film.

Macon Film Guild Presents: “Columbus” Sunday, Nov. 12

THE MACON FILM GUILD On Sunday, October 8th, a friend and I made our way to the second showing of “A Ghost Story” by director David Lowery. Settling into the green, plush seats, we abandoned all angst, welcoming Lowery’s captivating escape. It was undeniably poetic and emotional engaging. Then again, a silent film starring Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara would have been just as pleasing. I am not a film critic, by any means, but I appreciated my own inability to predict the outcome. Even my husband, a superb predictor of plot turns and twists, would have been suspended in uncertain bliss. The ending stopped short of answering the one mystery both you and the ethereal protagonist desperately seek to untangle throughout. The cliffhanger conclusion beckoned at least one, “Well, that sucks,” and it did, but in a way that felt necessary, and unapologetically so. Regardless, it inspired a thought-provoking conversation on the

car ride home. More importantly, for an entire hour and a half, I did not once ponder the pain of setting an alarm for the upcoming work day, nor did I ever feel tempted to pull out my mental notepad and jot down a to-do list of tasks for the week ahead. And not that I would ever choose sides between Richie or Cash, but Macon Film Guild at the Douglas Theatre was definitely easy, and not lonesome in the least. You know that you are just going to Netflix your Sunday away anyways, so you might as well get your movie-watching in with some strangers in a really lovely, local place.

So in the slightly altered words of John Bender in “The Breakfast Club,” we can either bury our heads in the sofa and wait until the next weekend, or we can make the most of our Sundays by getting out of the house and into a world of someone else’s making.

Ginger: The Ancient Wonder Spice

1.The peoples of the middle east view it as a spice from the heavens and a gift from God. 2. Ginger increases the body temperature, and it causes you to perspire removing toxic poisons from the body as well as burning calories.

3. It’s healing properties fight off inflammation, which I believe to be the cause of all disease.

4. It pulls ammonia from the brain to help get rid of headaches, clear up memory fog, and relieves sinuses and mucus. It’s also great for fighting off the cold and flu!

5. We have a super shot that we like to do that includes the ginger root as well as 2 other roots of the same family, turmeric and yellow root. Which all have been a part of folk medicine and healing for centuries!

MACON BEVERAGE OUTLET 4580 LOG CABIN ROAD, MACON 3965 ARKWRIGHT ROAD, MACON Open 7 days a week!

Walking into either of Macon Beverage Outlet’s two mid-Georgia locations is a bit like walking into a candy store for grown-ups – even if you thought you knew exactly what you were going in there for, you’re sure to spend a little extra time perusing the displays and coolers full of liquor, beer, and wine in every possible variety, and you’d be silly if you didn’t pick out a few new things to try. Brandon Cardwell, Macon Beverage’s General Manager for the past fifteen years, takes a lot of pride in the store’s carefully curated selections, and he also loves the customer service aspect of his job: “It’s fun to teach people about alcohol you will never know everything about this stuff, and there’s always something new to learn. I’m sure I’ve learned just as much from my customers as they have from me over the years.”

Brandon’s beverage of choice? “I’m a bourbon guy.

I drink it straight up – you don’t mix good bourbon.”

Bourbon’s a popular choice for many of Macon Beverage’s customers, along with single-malt scotch, wine, and craft beers. Their craft beer selection is huge, easily competing with any of the growler places – and often

with better prices, too. The most popular craft beer of the moment? By far, it’s Tropicalia, the citrusy, hoppy American IPA brewed by Athens, Georgia’s own Creature Comforts. “We only get maybe a case a week,” says Brandon, “but when we get it, man! It’s gone fast. I never thought I’d need to put beer in my office and treat it like a hard-to-get bourbon.”

If you go in looking for Tropicalia and they’re out, though, don’t despair – Macon Beverage’s employees take great pleasure in their excellent customer service, and they’re happy to offer their expertise and advice in recommending new products, so they could help you get set up with another delicious brew from the many offerings on their shelves. “If there’s anything you want and we don’t have it, talk to us – 90 percent of the time, we’ll be able to order it,” Brandon says. “We do lots of special ordering for customers.” They also offer discounts for larger orders for parties or weddings – just go in and talk to them about your needs and they’ll be more than helpful.

HAPPENINGS, LOCALS & REGIONAL INSIGHTS

MEGAN & JOSH

Megan: It definitely was meant to be.

When we decided we were gonna stay here and live in Macon, we were like, “Well, we’re not just gonna live in Macon.”

We wanted to put roots down in Macon and not just with our home, but add to Macon with this studio. ‘Cause, for a long time, I was like, ‘I don’t want to live in Macon. I want to get out of Macon. I don’t feel like Macon’s alive.’ You know, you go to a big city and it feels alive. Do you know what I mean?

And, that changed about, I don’t know, five or six years ago. It started feeling more alive. And the downtown community is so vibrant and alive. And people want to be here.

And you know that had a huge part to do with what changed our minds about building a studio here and staying in Macon.

Yoga, I know it’s been here for a while.

I want to spread yoga. I think it heals your body. It makes me tear up. Every time I talk about yoga, I get emotional. Every single time.

It totally saved my life. It did. What?

Josh: I just feel like the yoga community, in general, is almost a little unique in the interaction that happens with people. You

know, people come here, and they meet people. And then they start to connect with people that live, you know, five doors down from them.

It’s just almost like helping build some centrifugal force to the growth of downtown. It’s connecting people with themselves, but also connecting people with the people close to ‘em.

Megan: Our focus is here. Growing. Building. Getting people that don’t...It shocks me how many people are downtown that don’t know about this studio.

There’s always, always work to do and always people to...Not just people to know about Sparks but people to know about yoga. ‘Cause I truly believe in it and the power of healing.

People believe it’s for the physical, but it’s not. It’s for the the mental and emotional, as well.

I feel...like, if people did more yoga, they wouldn’t have to go do so much therapy.

And they, social work and yoga blended together so well.

And, ultimately, I’m gonna put this out there…’cause then it will happen.

I have one test to take, and then I have my license to be a licensed therapist. And so, ultimately, my, uh, not even long-term,

like my five-year plan is to make part of this a therapy...to blend yoga and therapy together and do both.

Josh: I love that the music scene is coming back, too; it’s really startin’ to bustle again.

Mainly ‘cause of people live the Cox and, you know, and the Auditorium. You know.

They get good bands, good talent.

It’s nice bein’ able to tell people you’re from Macon. It’s always been a great influence. It really has.

How many people can say, you know, that they recorded three records at Capricorn Studios? You know what I’m sayin’?

Megan: You recorded three records at Capricorn Studios? What? I didn’t know that.

Josh: Mmhmm. You want to know somethin’ cool? There were these old reverb chambers down in the basement of Capricorn Studios. And we shot a 38, recorded it, ran mics down there. Shot a 38 blank down in there for a gunshot that is in one of our songs.

Megan: What? I didn’t know that.

Josh: Mmhmmmm.

Megan: What song?

Josh: ‘Antebellum’ is what its called.

LIVE&LOCAL - BY TRACI BURNS -

AMERICANA

Listen Up: BR3 Bre Person grew up in Fort Hill with a doting mother who “made the best childhood she could for me by herself – I didn’t have it all, but she made sure I felt like I could have the world and more.” He was immersed in music from a young age – his grandfather used to sing and dance with James Brown, he started playing his first instrument at age 5 (he can’t remember if it was the violin or the recorder, definitely one of those two – easy to get it mixed up, considering he now plays a total of 15 different instruments), and he’d been in national choruses and performed with the Atlanta Symphony, all before turning 13.

When did he set his sights on rap? “I got an MC Hammer doll and cassette tape one of my first Christmases and I’ve been hooked ever since,” he says. Freestyling has always been something that came naturally to him – “I love to think on the spot, and I could always freestyle at the drop of a dime on any subject – it’s always amazed people, it’s a good conversation starter.” With musical influences that run the gamut from Frank Sinatra and Jimi Hendrix to Ice Cube and Andre 3000 - and oh yeah, swing music too - he’s got good, eclectic taste, and his compelling, hook-heavy music shows it. His style as a rapper has evolved into what he calls ‘soulful hip-hop’ – he wants his music to tell his story, to serve as both a spirit lifter and a cautionary tale. “I’ve lived my own movie,” he says, “and now I have a testimony to share that may keep others from making some of the decisions I made. All my songs stem from truth – I am unapologetically me.”

When he first started performing, it was under the name Lammyco. A run-in with the law shook his whole world up completely – he was arrested on multiple weapons and drug charges. After he was booked, he sat in a holding cell for over a week waiting to be processed, and in the meantime no one could find him – not his lawyer, not his family, nobody – “I was just sitting, couldn’t call nobody or nothing,” he says. After the ordeal was over, he was dismayed to find family and friends turning their back on him when he needed them most. He pulled himself back up, though, and went back to Gordon State College for pre-pharmacy, eventually finishing Morehouse and Georgia Tech with a computer science and engineering degree; he’d also started back writing and per28 OCTOBER 27 - NOVEMBER 10, 2017

forming, and landed a record deal that eventually led to an endorsement deal with Gucci. He moved to Miami and was gearing up to open for Beyonce when some issues with his contract reached critical mass and he decided to separate himself from the situation – “All I can say on behalf of that last label is that it was tied into some deep Haitian families in Miami and it could’ve ended way differently, but I’m here,” he laughs.

After two years, he returned as BR3 – his third and final transformation, he says, representing his growth into his true self. With all this experience under his belt, he’s ready to do things the right way, and he’s a goal-oriented, nonstop-grinding dude. His first project as BR3, the mixtape “Black Fingerprint,” is a kind of autobiography of his musical journey so far.

Available on every streaming platform, “Black Fingerprint” boasts 4 million downloads and counting, and close to 500 blogs have picked it up –he recently became one of the first artists ever to get a major distribution deal with Empire based on the strength of these numbers. (“I have to give credit to my home label UAMG, though,” he says, careful not to forget the people who believed in him before the numbers came in.)

“I’m ready for the hip-hop scene in Macon to flourish as much as it can,” BR3 says.

“There’s so much talent here, but there’s still a stigma that Macon artists aren’t as good as artists from bigger cities.” He’s worked with plenty of those bigger artists – he’s collaborated with people like Rick Ross, T.I., and Yo Gotti, and he’s written for 2 Chainz, August Alsina, and Ty Dolla $ign. His dream collaboration would be with Ice Cube or Andre 3000, and he’d love to work with Taylor Swift someday.

As to local artists, BR3 gives props to djs like Teddy from 107.1 and DJ B3 and says he enjoys working with King Roundz, Billie Slum, Syn Soundz, and Midas Wright, among many others. He loves listening to Bob Lennon, and says a collaboration between the two of them is way overdue – Bob, if you’re reading this, BR3 says “Let’s go, Bob, we’re wasting daylight!”

“I love it when spirits are up, heads are nodding, people are smiling – that’s success, that part makes me feel like I can do whatever I try to do. It fuels my music monster.”

Former Gap Band singer Charlie Wilson looks back on his still-thriving four-decade career.

Listen to the Audio

TheCreekFM.com

Charlie Wilson of The Gap Band

When you start listing the greatest R&B and Funk lead singers of all time, It doesn’t take long before the name Charlie Wilson appears. From his incredible work performing with his brothers in The Gap Band to his rebirth in the Hip Hop era collaborating with the likes of Pharrell and Snoop Dogg, Charlie Wilson’s incredible career has spanned four decades and has inspired some of the biggest musicians in the world today . He took some time to talk to us ahead of his concert in Macon on October 29th at the Macon Centreplex. We discussed his musical influences, his latest album In It To Win It, and his relationship with a certain gangster rap icon.

First off, thank you so much for taking some time with us today. With your 10 #1 singles and 12 Grammy nominations, your music has been the soundtrack to the lives of millions of people for decades. What I would like to know is who were you listening to when you first fell in love with music?

Let’s see. I love Sam Cooke and I loved James Brown. Everybody loved James Brown and as I got a little older it was Sly Stone. Of course Little Stevie Wonder, when he was Little Stevie, he was incredible. But when I saw Sly and The Family Stone, that changed the game for me. I was like “Ok he’s got a band and he dressed crazy” that was great for me and this is what I want to do.

I can definitely hear that influence. Your initial introduction to the world musically was through The Gap Band, a band and a sound that heavily influenced the hip hop genre. Do you think that was important in introducing your voice to a new generation of fans?

Well I wasn’t thinking about any of that. I didn’t know if anyone was listening really, I mean yea, we had our hit records, but I didn’t know people were listening to my voice like that. And then I started hearing inflections in people like Aaron Hall and Teddy Riley with Guy. Then it went from that to so many other singers and they said I was responsible for the way they sang. Some gospel lady told me, I’m not gonna say who it was, she said “Charlie, so many people pattern their voice after your voice”. I thought it was amazing. I didn’t believe it. A lot of people say a lot of things to me and I just never really believed it. I always thought people

were just saying those things to pat me on the back at the time because I was standing there but I didn’t really believe I had that much influence on so many singers. When I heard Justin Timberlake say to me “We all steal from you all the time. A lot of pop singers steal from you. You’re not a pop singer but a lot of them get away with stealing your style of singing but they can go pop.”

Speaking about hip hop, your latest album In It To Win It has a lot of A-list hip hop artists including T.I., which has garnered you a 2017 Soul Train Award nomination, Wiz Khalifa, Robin Thicke and a lot more artists. Talk about the process of creating this album and the direction you were looking to take this project in.

Well I didn’t want to go too far from what I was doing but I wanted to raise the bar for myself and there were a lot of people that wanted to sing or get down with me on a record. So I said OK, I’m going to reach out to some of these people that say they want to do it. And every time I got ready to call, I got nervous about if they were going to call back. I don’t know what I was thinking or why I was thinking that. But within 24 hours, everybody was responding with “Yes I would love to” or “I busy right now but I want to do it, keep that spot open for me.” And I thought that was their way out of not doing it. But Pitbull was right there. His people were saying he was busy but what I think he was doing was studying the record. They would say he’s going to work on it tomorrow and then he sends the record 20 minutes later. I just think that people was just buy some time for him to work on the track. But in 24 hours, everyone responded and they were on it a couple of months later and it was done. It was a done deal. A lot of other people wanted to get on but I sent the records out during the holidays and some other artist whose names I won’t call. And I’m talking huge hip hop artists right now got back to me like “I’ve got something for you on that track” but we already had the names, they were already turned in for the album so we couldn’t oblige some of them. But I always wanting to sing with some of these people and wanted to sing or rap on my records but I didn’t want to turn this record into a collection of 12 features. I just really didn’t want to do that but it was almost that way. I just didn’t want every song to be a hip hop record. I was

worried about my other fans but I have to continue to grow and inspire others in the younger generations as well. The younger fans are always saying “Uncle Charlie, when are you gonna make something for us?” I don’t want to go too young because my core fans would be like “What is he trying to do”. So I always tell my younger fans to come and listen to Uncle Charlie. Its for you too.

I’m always going evolve.

That makes the most sense, Speaking of them calling you Uncle Charlie, if I’m not mistaken it was your “nephew” Snoop Dogg that gave you the moniker of Uncle Charlie and he is on the final track of the album called Gold Rush. Talk about how your relationship with him has grown over the years.

Man, nephew Snoop is one of the most incredible young men I have known my entire life. I remember when he was just Snoop Doggy Dogg. Being a gangster rapper has a lot that comes with it you know. The first time I met him I think I was one year clean and sober and from that moment on, I talked to him about life, talked to him about drugs and everything and the guy after a while started listening to me and we got closer and closer. So now we are just like family now. He always includes me in whatever he’s doing if I’m not busy and help him because whenever I call him he just comes through. He doesn’t ask any questions.

You know family takes care of family. So we are really close. I’m probably the closest guy that knows his private life. Probably the only one that knows what goes on in his home. I’ve watched his kids grow up and all of that. So he just naturally started calling me Uncle so it fits.

And to get you out of here, you are performing in Macon on October 29th. What should the fans expect from this show?

I’m going to give them everything that I have ever done that was a #1 record. I’m gonna try and give them all of the #1 Gap Band records and then I’m gonna give them all of the #1 Charlie Wilson records. I’m gonna put it in an uptempo fashion. We are about to party in there man and that’s real talk. I think it’s been 10 years since I’ve been to Macon. People have not seen this show. The kind of show that I put on.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT

LILLY HIATT

}

The best songs-- the ones that stick to your ear bones and continue to reverberate tend to hold the pieces most folks would rather hide. Lilly Hiatt's new album, Trinity Lane, doesn't hide anything. Addiction, doubt, distortion, heartache, hope, recovery, resignation, reverb... Lilly Hiatt's voice reaches and undulates through the opening track, “All Kinds of People,” before truly unhinging amid the loneliness and crunch of “The Night David Bowie Died.” The biographical title track brings you into Lilly's realm where you can look around, stay, or go. It's upbeat but with an underlying tension. She's hasn't dealt, she's dealing... Today is good, and that is good enough.

Trinity Lane is driven by honesty. Like her father, singer-songwriter John Hiatt, Lilly has the ability to wield her voice like a chimerical battle ax-- hoist, hold, plunge.

“Impostor” is a tribute to John, but Lilly also searches for clues to her own identity. Her mother was a suicide, an unknown in her life. How much, how little influence does the shared DNA of someone she's never met have on Lilly? And should it? Once again the catharsis of the song is not ultimate-- there will always be questions without answers, aspects of her persona that will remain a mystery.

}

Michael Trent of Shovels & Rope produced Trinity Lane with a common ear bent towards the visceral guitar laden thickness of 1990's alternative music. Though the album is named for the street in East Nashville that Lilly calls home, Hiatt and Trent recorded at Studio Bees in Johns Island, SC – away from the known quantities of Nashville.

There's a sonic resemblance to the hip anger of Anton Newcombe, but a vulnerability that evokes Lucinda Williams. The songs are laden with Lilly's recovery-- at 32, she's been sober for 5 years. She credits her sobriety to the most enduring aspect of her life-- rock n' roll.

Music doesn't tempt Lilly Hiatt with destruction-- nor does it judge. What kind of lover has the patience and understanding of a song? On “Records”, Lilly peels apart her life. She removes the rotten bits, the wrongness. There must have been a particular fear that once free of booze and dope, rock n' roll would be cold-- possibly even sour.

After a banner or mediocre day, at the end of a night filled with promise or robbed of it's expectation, whether she was right or wrong... Faith in a rock n' roll song helps Lilly Hiatt fight demons and sleep well on Trinity Lane.
