The Publisher Cheri Leavy I love springtime in Athens and here is why… It is prime time for Foley Field. Time to get out and support the Diamond Dawgs over the Gators midmonth as well as over the Razorbacks at the end of the month. I know the Dawgs have appreciated the fan support during the tragic injury of teammate Johnathan Taylor. The community outpouring is amazing. Smoothie King in Five Points gave away smoothies recently for donations to a fund for JT. Lots of folks have stepped up to the plate to show their support for Coach Perno and the team. Read Chelsea’s interview of national super star Torrin Lawrence on page 8 as we get ready for him back on the scene at the Spec Towns National Team Invitational at our home track this weekend. The No. 2 softball team is playing Kentucky at Jack Turner Stadium all weekend. And you can catch Coach Diaz and the tennis team matched up against Florida Friday evening at the Dan Magill Complex. I am sad we won’t be home on St. Simons Island to watch Coach Haack’s Dawgs in the SEC Championship. That is always great fun! But it is the same weekend as the G Day game in Sanford Stadium on April 16. No way I would miss seeing the first glance of the 2011 team. The fun thing about Athens is there are always things to do and not just the UGA athletic competitions. Downtown comes alive with the sights and buzzing sound of cyclists and spectators for the 32nd annual Athens Twilight on April 29 & 30. Another buzz through town is we have Bravo cameras and some of today’s reality tv stars from Real Housewives of Atlanta transcending on the Classic City. Look out for Phaedra Parks and Kim Zolciak, who are coming to Athens Fashion Week (AFW) as hosts of a high tea brunch at The Foundry and Cocktails & Couture for a Cause at the Classic Center, respectively. There are numerous runway shows set for AFW benefiting numerous charities including Georgia 4H and Bundles of Joy for Preemies. As I said on page 6, Athenians love to support great causes while we are having our fun. Alana tells us more about AFW on page 16. The AFW tagline is “Athens is Fashion” and I agree that in the streets of Athens, on campus and at the Country Club, you can be amazed by the personal style reflected and often how forward and fashionable the Classic City can be. On page 6, local designer Andrew Downs takes on the topic of style. Anticipate some spotlights on Athenians that have great style in future columns by Andrew. I would add that “Athens is Music” too. Local realtor by day and music aficionado by night, Daniel Peiken continues to keep us in the loop of the music scene in Athens on page 12. I am jealous after seeing his photos of Snoop Dogg in the intimate setting of the 40 Watt. From a Beatles Tribute Band to Snarky Puppy with special guests Jazzchronic (both at Melting Point), you can catch a wide variety of shows at the great music venues in Athens. And the 2nd Annual Athens Americana Festival celebrates the sounds of bluegrass, country, 'Americana' and folk music on April 27-30. I will take any opportunity to get over to Little Kings Shuffle Club where several of the festival events are set. And honestly, wouldn’t we say “Athens is Food” and “Athens is Botanical” too? We are blessed with a burgeoning food culture with fabulous dining establishments and even a Top Chef Master competitor in Hugh Acheson. But even in the homes of our locals, I am finding outstanding cooks. I am having a blast doing features ‘In the Kitchen with…’ and this issue I enjoyed preparing and eating an Arugula Percorino Salad with Linda Jerkins on page 18. Several of my neighbors were busy this past weekend sharing their fabulous kitchens and my favorite garden on the annual Athens Tour of Kitchens, which benefits the Georgia Children's Chorus. Take advantage of the opportunity for inspiration and view five incredible private gardens in Athens on the Athens' 18th Annual Piedmont Gardeners' Garden Tour on April 16 to benefit the UGA Horticulture Club. I can’t get all the opportunities in this space, my editor husband is going to have to use a tiny font as it is. Thanks for donning your specs to read the column and hopefully you marked your calendar and googled some of these events to buy tickets. Goodbye winter, hello spring!

The EDITOR Ryan Scates It is hard to beat April in Athens. With final exams and summer break lurking about one month away, the student social calendar is in full swing as we try to squeeze as much fun as possible from the rest of the school year in the Classic City. From formals to philanthropy events to your run-of-the-mill late night tours of Clayton Street, Athens is always hopping this time of year. If you happen to be looking for something to fill your time as the temperatures rise, be sure to check out Cody Schmelter’s list of things to do in Athens this spring on page 14. A personal highlight of my spring undergrad days was heading to shows at the Georgia Theatre. With Wil Greene making steady progress on the renovations and the new mixed-use development next door gaining some solid tenants like Waffle House and Mama Goldberg’s, Athenians have plenty to look forward to up on the corner of Lumpkin and Clayton heading into the summer. Athenians have also been making time to find ways to give back to the community recently. You can see photos from Prevent Child Abuse Athens’ 20th annual Starry Starry Night Fundraiser on page 13. Also be sure to check out photos from Beta Theta Pi’s annual Choral Cup singing competition, which goes to benefit UGA Relay for Life. Shifting our focus over to sports, April is always a special time of year for sports fans in northeast Georgia. For many golf fans, the Masters Tournament, chaired by UGA Alumnus Billy Payne, is the highlight of the spring calendar. Such golf enthusiasts must also be thrilled to know that UGA will be hosting the Stadion Classic at UGA, a PGA Tour Nationwide series event, for the second consecutive year in May. Bulldawg Golf alum and two-time PGA Tour winner Bubba Watson and Chip Beck recently hosted an event to promote the tournament at the UGA Golf Course, be sure to check out those photos on page 8. Further, the UGA men’s and women’s golf teams are headed into the SEC Championships at the Sea Island (Men’s) and Auburn (Women’s) golf clubs, respectively. I recently had the chance to catch up with two of the area’s best golfers, Russell Henley and Marta Silva Zamora, for a fun tutorial on what they look for in their equipment heading into championship season. While Marta recently changed her entire bag to some shiny new Titleists, Russell has been playing the same Odyssey White Hot putter since he was 11 years old. Don’t miss our “What’s in the Bag?” feature on page 10. Aside from golf, a huge congratulations is in order to the Georgia Gym Dogs for advancing to the NCAA Championships after narrowly missing the cut in last year’s NCAA regional competition. Further, the baseball team, which faces the toughest schedule in the SEC, recently took series from LSU and Mississippi State at home at Foley Field. Well, after just skimming a few of the best sports and social highlights of this issue, I am already out of space. Here is to warm weather, efficient studying and plenty of barking well into April!

The GURU
April off to stellar start for Georgia athletics
Jeff Dantzler
April’s first weekend was a great one for Georgia. This is the time of year when Bulldog athletics is in high gear, with at least a dozen sports competing or practicing at a given time. When Georgia is winning in the spring – as is so often the case in numerous sports – it’s one of the best times of the year to be in Athens. April Fool’s Day fell on Friday, as the Bulldogs opened up a monster three-game Southeastern Conference series with Mississippi State at Foley Field. Georgia had pulled to .500 in league play with a Sunday double-header sweep of LSU the previous weekend. Facing what is far and away the toughest schedule in the nation – 22 of the Bulldogs 27 games have come against teams ranked in the top 25 – Georgia has grinded its way into the thick of SEC race. Before the first pitch was thrown at Foley Field, it was already a great day for two of Georgia’s most successful professional alumni. Gordon Beckham went three-for-four with a double and scored three runs for the Chicago White Sox in a 15-10 opening day victory over Cleveland. Meanwhile in Houston, Chris Kirk had pushed his way to top of the leader-board at the Shell Houston Open. By the time the weekend wrapped on Sunday, there were ear to ear smiles across the Bulldog nation. Behind sensational pitching, Georgia swept the three-game series from Mississippi State to improve to 6-3 in the SEC, a game out of first overall and in the East. The Bulldogs, through three
weekends, are just one of five teams with winning conference marks. It’s been top heavy so far. Florida, Vanderbilt and South Carolina out of the East are all 7-2, as is West-leader Alabama. Then come the Dogs. Every other team has a losing league mark. David Perno needed only five pitchers in the weekend sweep of Mississippi State. Alex Wood, Michael Palazzone and Craig Gullickson were all excellent in their starts. Blake Dietrich, one of the nation’s most improved pitchers, bridged Friday and Sunday gaps, while closer Tyler Maloof picked up three saves to up his league-leading total to 11. Georgia out-homered Mississippi State 4-0 through the series and wiggled out of a pair of key bases loaded jams. This team, playing for fallen teammate Johnathan Taylor, who is in good spirits recovering at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, has something working. The Bulldogs play two mid-weekers with Charleston Southern then head to beautiful Oxford for another huge SEC weekend against Ole Miss. On Saturday night, Jay Clark’s gymnastics team had a strong second place posting at the NCAA Regional Championships in Athens to qualify for Nationals. Georgia has fought through a series of injuries this year, and is hoping to peak at the perfect time. More good news trickled through on Sunday. Unfortunately for Kirk, Phil Mickleson followed up his Saturday 63 with a 65 and won the
THE INTERN
Shell Houston Open, but the former Georgia AllAmerican, national champion and Hogan Award winner finished tied for second, collecting a healthy check and gaining further notoriety as one of the PGA Tour’s top up and coming players. There was great news on the tennis front. Both the Georgia men and women swept their weekend matched from Ole Miss and Mississippi State. The women cruised to a pair of wins at home. The men pulled out a Sunday thriller in Starkville to cap the undefeated weekend. It’s been an incredible run through league play. Both Manuel Diaz and Jeff Wallace have stellar squads. Georgia’s men and women are each a perfect 8-0 in Southeastern Conference play and carrying 12 match winning streaks. There’s no question that Georgia will be one of the prime contenders on both sides at the NCAA Championships at Stanford late next month. At the beautiful and treacherous UGA Golf Course, at the Liz Murphey Invitational against one of the strongest fields in the women’s game, Georgia’s Silva Zamora posted the fifth win of her stellar career – two shy of the school record shared by Shauna Estes and Vicki Goetze. Zamora closed strong with a final round 67, and Georgia was at its best down the stretch, playing the final six holes at six under par, finishing sixth. It’s tough to beat Springtime in Athens, and April is off to a stellar start.
What makes Athens different?
Chelsea Swanhart It’s hard not to love any college town. Most are crawling with lively students and high levels of academics. Many college towns have historical significance and beautiful buildings sitting on a sprawling, well-kept, campus. As Athens has continued to be ranked in the top ten best college campuses and places to live in the country for years, many of my friends at surrounding anonymous universities (Ahem… Auburn, South Carolina, Alabama, Florida and Tennessee) have started to ask a question that Bulldawgs already know the answer to; what makes Athens so different? Don’t worry; I’ll start slow so non-bulldawgs can keep up. As the birthplace of R.E.M., the B-52s and Widespread Panic, Athens knows its music. Venues like The 40 Watt Club, The Melting Point, Rialto Club and The Georgia Theatre, bring talented musicians to the Classic City constantly. On almost any given night, you can find a quality show somewhere in town. Snoop Dogg, Citizen Cope, The Avett
Brothers and Sound Tribe are just a few examples of acts Athenians have to look forward to in the next few months. Keep reading if you dare, Tigers. Our beautiful campus is another thing that sets Athens apart from the rest. Built with a Greek influence, each building on campus is unique, presenting extensive detail mixed with the perfect amount of southern charm. With several quads throughout campus, the trees and flowers are plentiful and make each walk to class more enjoyable. I also can’t forget to mention the Arch on North Campus that add history, in addition to beauty to our university. The Arch is not the only historic thing about UGA either. The tree that owns itself, located at Finley and Dearing Street, is certainly something that other college towns cannot claim to have. The story goes that a man named William Jackson deeded the tree ownership of itself as far back as 1820. The only person to have ever seen this deed is Jackson himself and the deed holds no legal standing under common law today, but the tree still remains untouched.
The most notable thing that sets Athens aside from other college towns is the people. People really are what make each town special, and Athens has a lot of special people. Individuals such as students, professors, musicians, artists, poets, business owners, bartenders, street performers and chefs, all help to make up the diverse population in Athens. The mixture of these personalities, ideas and talents come together to create a dynamic that is unlike anywhere else in the world. As a senior at UGA, I admit I might be a tad bit biased about what makes Athens stand-out. But the great thing about all college towns is that the people who live in them have an eternal love for their towns. Athenians are rarely boastful and we rarely bad-mouth a fellow university. Instead, we show endless pride and love for Athens knowing that others will see why we adore it so much. If you can’t take just my word and you’re still not a believer, come to Athens on a Saturday in the fall. Somewhere between the Dawg Walk and the Georgia fight song, I guarantee you will fall in love with Athens in a sea of 93,000 others feeling the exact same way.

Chelsea’s player profile - Torrin Lawrence By Chelsea Lipocky Torrin Lawrence has held both SEC and NCAA records. Now that he is finally healthy for an outdoor season, Lawrence is ready to reclaim his former titles. What is your major? Telecommunications. What would be your dream job? I would love to one day work at ESPN. What is the best advice you have ever gotten? My mom told me “don’t think.” When I stop thinking as much, everything works out. Do you have any pre-meet rituals or superstitions? No… I just listen to my music and it gets me in the mood. What other special talents do you have other than running? I can draw, write poetry and music and I can touch my feet to my head. You are from Jacksonville. What do you miss most about home? The heat. Sometimes it gets a little cold up here, and snow is something new to me. It doesn’t snow too often in Jacksonville. I like it here, but Jacksonville is home.
THE TICKER
How did you get into track? I got into track in my 11th grade year. It was kind of a bet between me and one of my friends because he was like “I’m faster than you,” and I said, “No you’re not.” So we ended up racing and going out for the track team. I ended up making it…he didn’t. I ended up falling in love with it. What is your favorite event to compete in? My favorite event is the 4x4. I just like the 4x4 because it’s an intense race and it is a team effort, which makes it better. Do you prefer to compete indoor or outdoor? I honestly prefer to compete outdoor. The curves indoor are a little bit too small for my long legs. How is this years’ outdoor season different for you than your previous two? I am actually going into this outdoor season uninjured, so this is a major step for me. How does this facility compare to others you have competed on? No one track is the same, but this facility has its perks just like any other facility has its own perks. I feel like I can run a fast race on this track, and I feel like I can run a fast race on another track, it just de pends on my mindset that day. As far as other f acilities, I think ours is up there with some of the best.
What advantage do you think it will be, if any, to have the SEC Invitational here at home? We are going to be home, so I am going to have a different mindset. I won’t have to go anywhere to prepare, because we are going to be right here. I am going to come out here and try and do something special for the home crowd. Even though the outdoor season is different from in door, do you think this SEC competition is going to be redemption for you? …We can say that…

some exciting new twists on classic styles. In preparation for the warm months to come, Athens Fashion Week will also premiere the latest swimsuits from Victoria’s Secret. This should be an exciting show, also featuring popular entertainment. Celebrities in the Classic City What would a fashion week be without celebrities? Aside from the numerous local celebrities sure to be in attendance at the shows- they are featuring Athens’ 25 most stylish people and two Atlanta area celebrities will also be hosting events to help kick off Athens rocking the runway. First, Phaedra Parks of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” will host the Children’s fashion show taking place on Wednesday morning. Next on Thursday evening Kim Zolciak, also of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” will host the Green Dress Gala as well as an after party at the Melting Point.
By Alana Carithers This spring, a new chic event is sweeping Athens that will make any fashionista excited. Athens Fashion Week kicks off April 20th and ends April 22nd, taking place at the Classic Center and several other Athens’ venues. These three days will be packed with fashion, socializing and even celebrities. As Chair of the Steering Committee for Athens Fashion Week, Corey McCants explains, the event will be “Glam, rock and a little bit of southern flair! There is something for everyone at Athens Fashion Week. Fashion, fashion and more fashion. Several of our designers will be premiering their fall and summer lines at our event. The production itself is something that Athens has never seen and will be fashion history in the making.” Athens Fashion Week will not only feature some of the latest fashions from some top designers, but it also will benefit some local charities.
6YNHUPaH[PVUZ [V )LULÄ[ Athens Fashion Week is about fabulous style in the Classic City, but the event also aims to give back to the community. Proceeds from various events over the week will go to benefit several charities and organizations around Athens and Georgia. Part of the proceeds from the gala and fashion shows will go to benefit the Georgia 4-H Foundation. The Georgia 4-H Foundation promotes youth development by providing financial support to reward deserving Georgia 4-Hers. Also included within 4-H activities are nearly a dozen fashion project areas- look for the products of some of these to be showcased in Athens Fashion Week events! Also to benefit from the week’s events is an organization called Bundles of Joy for Preemies. Founded by Sheri Goggin, former Miss Georgia, this multi- state program aims to offer support to premature babies and their families by offering information about premature births as well as support packages featuring many comforting items. As Corey McCants put it, “All proceeds from Athens Fashion Week will be donated to these amazing charities to ensure that these organizations will be able to continue to make a difference in even more lives than they already have.”
Featured Designers The week’s men’s collection designers include a number of exciting names. Wednesday’s show will feature looks from Ralph Lauren, Southern Proper, Southern Marsh, Bacon Handmade Neckwear, The Otter Bay Company, and more. All looks will showcase elements of a gentleman’s southern style, something any true Athenian won’t want to miss! Judith March’s latest collection will also take the catwalk Wednesday evening. Seeing such a well- renowned and beautiful brand on the Athens’ stage is exciting, and will surely help to put the Classic City on the fashion map. LK clothing will have a lively showing, which will include colorful and intricate designs from their collection. An exciting thing to look for will be their pieces for game day- perfect for getting ready for football in the fall! The Emma Graham show will be sure not to disappoint. Emma Mahon Jackie Graham will be showing pieces from their Spring/ Summer 2011 line. Expect to see

What’s in your bag? A native of Santiago de Compostela, Spain, Junior standout Marta Silva Zamora has spent the last five years of her life in the American South. “I love the people here!” At just over 21 years old, Silva Zamora’s golf career includes a Spanish Amateur Championship and being featured on the Golf Channel’s reality show “School of Golf” while attending the Hank Haney IJGA. BI recently caught up with Silva Zamora to find out what clubs she carries en route to her sub-70 scores. Putter: I’m real simple with my clubs, I prefer them to look good. I would not be able to play with one of those crazy two-balls or the other big mallet putter you see today. Putter Cover: The Solheim Cup is a women’s match play tournament between the United States and Europe. the Junior Solheim Cup played two years, in 2005 and 2007. It’s a great experience, because after we finish playing the Junior tournament we go watch the pros. Driver: I love the new Titleist 910 D Series. They are so good looking! You are set at the ball and it looks like the club is going to do all the work itself. Irons: I carry my 3 Iron just in case. When I am playing in the British Highlands or in Scotland I will use my 3 Iron all the time, but when I am in the states I will use a 21 degree hybrid instead. I went to California to the Titleist Performance Institute, and they fit me for this set of irons there.
After a stellar Junior season, Macon native Russell Henley is looking to lead his team to back-to-back SEC Championships this season. Recently the 2009-2010 Golfweek National Player of the Year caught up with BI to talk about “What’s in the bag.” What do you think about the new Driver equipment that allows players to adjust the settings of their clubs? I have one of these new Nike adjustable drivers, which I’ve been playing for just over a year now. We can set up the club for different ball flights and heights. My whole life I’ve fought a hook, so I have the driver set up a little open, which makes a it a little easier for me to make a natural swing without worrying about bringing the ball too far to the left off the tee. Do you carry the traditional iron set, 2 iron through 9 iron? This is my first set of irons that is not a “split-set” (between cavity backs and blades), I’m carrying the Nike VR Pro Combos, 3 iron through 9 iron. I also use a hybrid instead of a 2 iron. Tell us about the flatstick. My brother gave me my putter (an Odyssey White Hot) when I was 11 for my birthday, I’ve never played in any tournament without it, and I would never change anything about it. How often do you change your grips? Every 2 or 3 months on my actual clubs, and I will change my putter grip about once a year.
Wedges: Something I really like about Titleist is the wedges. I love the way they look and they even stamped my name on them!
How many wedges do you carry? I carry a 47 degree pitching wedge, a 54 degree gap wedge and a 60 degree lob wedge that I use for short bunker shots.
After capturing the individual medalist honors at the 39th annual Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic, Silva Zamora ascended to the No. 1 position in the Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index. She and the team head to the SECs in Auburn, April 15-17.

10 Things YOU MUST DO in Athens during Spring By C.B. Schmelter Run the Trails at the IM Fields On any normal day you will see a bounty of people getting their daily run in up and down Milledge Avenue, but if you are looking for a more secluded run try the trails at the Intramural Sports. The trails offer a nice change of pace and scenery.
Eat at Cali n' Tito's What is not to like? Fresh Caribbean/Latin American inspired food served in an atmosphere that is as great as the food. Enjoy the open air dining on a sunny day and for those of you of age, for a small fee you can even bring your own cooler.
Frisbee Golf North Campus An unmarked frisbee golf course graces our beautiful North Campus. Find any frisbee enthusiast in Athens and they will be glad to pass on the secrets of the course. A great way to relax and enjoy North Campus.
Attend a UGA Baseball/Softball Game The boys and girls of summer are back in full swing (pun intended). A great way to follow up your meal at Cali n' Tito's is to walk over to Foley Field for a baseball game or you can cheer on our nationally ranked softball team at Jack Turner Stadium.
Golf the UGA Course The University of Georgia Golf Course hosts a PGA Tour Nationwide event, Stadion Classic at UGA (set for May 2-8). Get your chance to golf where the pros do. Great discounts are offered to students. Attend a Bulldog Tennis Match UGA is home to two of the best tennis programs in the nation. The Men's team is currently ranked 9th and the Women's team is currently ranked 7th. Come out and support your Dogs at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex. Action is at Grand Slam Levels... just look what John Isner did. Explore the Botanical Gardens The State Botanical Gardens of Georgia are located right in our backyard. Exploring the cornucopia of nature the Gardens has to offer is a wonderful alternative to the hustle and bustle of Campus
Twilight Bike Race Every year Athens hosts the Athens Twilight bike race (set for April 29-30). Downtown is transformed into an Open Air market and is pedestrian only. Fun and safe for the whole family. Go enjoy the delicious local food severed by street vendors while being right in the middle of the race.
Attend the G-Day Game The cliché is true. Athens has a football problem, and what better way to tide yourself over until fall than to attend the annual Spring G-Day game. Get your fill of Georgia Football on April 16th and see how we will fare for the 2011 season. Sic 'Em!
Float the Broad River Let's face it, the mercury rises pretty fast in Athens and with out a waterpark anywhere near we have to find some way to cool off. The Broad River offers the solution; commonly known as “Floating the Broad,” one can rent a canoe and float down an 8-mile stretch of River. It is a sight to behold. Think of it as Nature's Lazy River, a great way to cool down and escape the stresses of daily life photos by Twilight Foundation, Frisbee Golf Club, Broad River Outpost

ATHENS JEWELS
By Chelsea Swanhart In a fashion-forward town such as Athens, where students are willing to live off of cereal in order to buy a new dress for Friday night, accessories are a must. Belts, shoes, hats and bags help to make an outfit, but it is the jewelry that always seems to add the final touch. Fashionistas in Athens are lucky to be surrounded by the most beautiful and unique jewelry stores around. Aurum Studios, JWR Jewelers and Athena Jewelers are perfect examples of where to go when you find yourself in need of a stunning piece of jewelry. Aurum Studios, located downtown, provides services in designing, appraising and repairing jewelry. They offer a wide selection of rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces and if you would like, Aurum Studios jewelers will even create jewelry made specifically for you! For those that are also interested in art, Aurum Studios features some of North Georgia’s most beautiful paintings, pottery and woodwork. Although each piece of jewelry is striking, jewelry made by artist Michael Michaud stands out as some of the most unique in the store. Michaud graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology’s School for American Craftsmen in 1980 after studying under talented designers, Hans Christenson and Gary Griffin. Michaud’s jewelry is inspired by his love for nature, which is evident in each piece of jewelry he makes. Jewelry featuring leaves, flowers and even peas in a pod, demonstrate his passion for the outdoors and jewelry. JWR Jewelers, voted the #1 jewelry store by readers of the Athens Banner Herald, is definitely another favorite in Athens. “Making our customers for a lifetime” is the motto that the staff at JWR Jewelers strives to follow each day while offering services such as jewelry repair, appraisals, engraving, pearl stringing and even custom design. With collections such as Imperial Pearls, Pandora and Elle, you can always find just the right piece. If you are looking for something especially different, Paul Henriques, master jeweler at JWR, offers an abundance of stunning handcrafted jewelry to choose from. Born in Jamaica, Henriques, is a 3rd generation jeweler who started learning the jewelry business early in life from his father. Henriques received his master jeweler title from Goldschmiede Schule in Germany, after training there for 9 years. Henriques came to Athens in 2004 and joined forces with JWR Jewelers, where he has been doing incredible work designing jewelry ever since. In 2008 and 2009, Henriques’ jewelry was chosen as Best of Show in the Georgia Jewelers’ association Design contest. His passion is designing colored gemstone jewelry and Henriques even created an adorable gold Georgia bulldog necklace that every lady bulldog would love to have. Athena Jewelers is another great option for jewelry in Athens. When thinking of Athena Jewelers, you may visualize the giant frog statue that sits right outside the door. But inside, Athena Jewelers offers striking pieces of jewelry that any Athens-chic person would enjoy. They specialize in jewelry repair and design as well as glass etching and engraving. Athena Jewelers really holds true to their motto, “the art of it all,” as they really can do it all. Setting itself apart from other jewelry stores, they also feature a “bead nook” with hundreds of different beads to choose from. Athena Jewelers carries handcrafted jewelry made by artists from all over, including by owner Dana Johnson, a third generation jeweler. All of these stores provide special services and unique jewelry for various types of customers. Whether you are shopping in Athens for an exquisite piece to wear to a charity event, a trendy piece for a concert or a spirited piece for a game, you are sure to find something you will love in each of these stores.

In the kitchen with Linda Jerkins From the second I walked into Linda Jerkins home, I knew I had met a kindred spirit and not because she is a Georgia Bulldog but because she is an avid art collector. I was enthralled with her incredible collection. It runs the gamut with all mediums and landscapes, portraits and abstracts all hanging together and complimenting each other. She also collects silver, linens and porcelain which has been a hobby for the last 35 years that turned into a business over the last ten years. Linda and her businesspartner Betsy Chastain have a booth called Top Drawer, right when you walk in Athens Interior Market and Linda has another booth in conjunction with her website, www.rubylane.com/shop/ topdraw. With annual trips abroad and the silver books she reads like novels, Linda has become a silver guru! And now she has made friends and contacts all over the world and regularly ships to New York, California and Texas but has even shipped as far as Israel, Denmark and Thailand. These destinations are a far cry from her native town of Reidsville, Georgia. She met her Athenian husband Keith while they were at the University of Georgia and when she graduated in 1968, she went straight into teaching Math and Science. When her son Stuart was born, she became a stay at home mom. Needing to have her finger in something at all times, she worked for Appointments at Five and learned a lot during her time there. She can still be found at the shop picking up silver or pewter to be engraved for their clientele. So look out for Linda on the tennis courts or antiquing and maybe you will get to meet her two new babies Alfred and Willie 2. Visit guide2athens website to see more of the photoshoot and “how to” for the Arugula Pecorino Salad. It’s delish! Bon appetit- Cheri Leavy
Arugula Pecorino Salad This salad is one of Linda’s signature dishes and she says everyone always enjoys it wherever she serves it. She suggests topping this base with chicken, tuna or shrimp. You can also try different greens or beans but she prefers the nutty flavor of the organic baby arugula. 5 oz. organic baby arugula 3 oz. julienne sundried tomatos 1/2 jar or 3.5 oz. non pareil small capers, drained 1 1/2 oz. toasted pine nuts 1 can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed shave pecorino from a block dressing: 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil 1/4 cup red wine vinegar salt and pepper to taste Place arugula on serving platter and top with remaining ingredients. Pour dressing over and lightly toss.
