TREAT YOURSELF

Publisher CHARLES A. WOMACK III publisher@yesweekly.com

In 2018, worrisome headlines, political division, racial tension, gun violence and environmental concerns are the usual suspects when it comes to additional stressors. Every once in a while, we need to step back from our busy schedules and take time to care for ourselves. YES! Weekly visited various health and wellness facilities in the area and highlighted some of the many ways one can TREAT THEMSELVES.

it’s a musical celebration that is blooming exactly where it was planted. Or, it’s a new, young flowering shoot grafted on to older roots that are already seasoned and deep in the soil. 18 Certainly, there has been a handful of American films in the interim quartercentury that has showcased Asian casts — the 2003 crime flick A Better Tomorrow readily springs to mind — but CRAZY RICH ASIANS is reportedly the first since The Joy Luck Club to be released by a major Hollywood studio. 19 Theatre Art Galleries of High Point is pleased to announce a Juried Art Exhibit titled “THE BICYCLE: ART MEETS FORM” opening Aug. 30 and on view until Sept. 28. This is the fourth year for the exhibit benefiting the Bobby Labonte Foundation. 25 In January, I discovered that the annual Groove Jam Music Festival is just one of many events hosted by Dean and Laurel Driver at DOODAD FARM. When a friend took me to my first house concert, with Joe Newberry and Gabriela la Foley, I quickly returned for more house concerts.

LEBAUER HEALTHCARE BY KATIE MURAWSKI

medicine, behavioral health counseling, lab, ultrasound and physical therapy. “We take care of the entire family from birth through end of life as well,” Sauls wrote. “Our providers love working for LeBauer. They are happy, and we are growing. I think that always is a good sign if a medical group is growing healthily along.” Recently, LeBauer HealthCare has opened a new primary care practice on Horse Pen Creek Road and will be opening another new office this October. Sauls wrote that LeBauer Healthcare just expanded its offices at LeBauer Oak Ridge and LeBauer Summerfield Village. Sauls wrote that LeBauer providers are “dedicated to putting the patient first,” and that she even recommends her own family and friends to LeBauer providers. She wrote that potential patients should choose LeBauer providers over others in the area because it has some of the “highest patient satisfaction rates in the country.” “Our providers truly care about our patient outcomes,” she wrote. “It is more about quality than quantity for us.” For more information about LeBauer HealthCare, visit the website www.lebauer.com. !

LeBauer HealthCare is a part of the Cone Health Medical Group and is a multi-specialty organization. Assistant director Adrienne Sauls wrote in an email that LeBauer HealthCare offers primary care, neurology, behavioral medicine, gastroenterology, endocrinology, sports medicine, physical therapy and pulmonology. Sauls wrote that the LeBauer family began practicing medicine in Greensboro back in 1931. According to the website, LeBauer HealthCare would probably not be in this area if it weren’t for the popularity of silk hosiery. In 1920, Joe LeBauer moved his hosiery business from New Jersey to Greensboro. However, after the rise of nylon, the LeBauer family shifted their interest from textiles to medicine. “Over time, LeBauer HealthCare has grown into a large multi-specialty organization,” the website states. “The goal, the LeBauers say, has always been to offer the best possible medical care to the community, and as the patient base has grown, the practice has added new physicians to help carry out its mission.” Sauls wrote that LeBauer HealthCare is also a part of Cone Health and Cone Medical Group, and has as many services as possible embedded in its primary care locations such as X-ray, sports

Organix Juice Bar offers new menu

eave your judgment at the door and hear me out: healthy food can be delicious. With one location in Winston-Salem (1318 S. Hawthorne Rd.) and another in Jennifer Zeleski Greensboro (1941 New Garden Rd. #108), Organix Contributor Juice Bar has been cold-pressing juice in the Triad for over a year, but they just recently took a big step up. From Aug. 17 to 19, the juice bar dove head first into the healthy food scene with a fully-stocked pantry and fully-loaded menu at its Greensboro location. The grand opening was my first stop after Saturday morning yoga, and rightfully so. I will admit that the menu was a bit overwhelming at first. There were a variety of options that listed fresh ingredients, with everything from a classic smoothie (strawberry, banana, pineapple and almond milk), to a Holy Cacao smoothie bowl (açaí, cacao nibs, almond butter, cashews, pineapple, banana, honey, granola and almond milk). My choice landed on the Berry Beautiful bowl that came packed with açaí, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, banana and almond milk, topped with honey, goji berries, more fresh fruit and granola. I was impressed with the list of ingredients and was eager to see which flavors stood out most, especially with locally-sourced organic produce. Now, I had to choose something that YES! WEEKLY

AUGUST 22-28, 2018

would satisfy my craving for carbs, and serve as a savory contrast to the sweet smoothie bowl. There was no question that the Avo Love would have to be a part of my order. Creamy mashed avocado on top of a seedy piece of multigrain bread, with cracked black pepper, sea salt, olive oil and red pepper flakes. That sounded like my kind of lunch. Since it was the grand opening, there were also free samples of the juices and toasts being passed around, and I was able to get my hands on a sample of the Nuts Over Seeds. It was a layer of almond butter on a piece of multigrain bread, topped with honey, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds and granola, and definitely had a crunch on the first bite. The combination was a little too seedy for my liking, but for someone who’s seeking a protein-packed vegetarian snack, it would be a solid choice. My boyfriend Peyton also wanted a savory option. He was instantly drawn to the kimchi toast, which is composed of local kimchi piled high on a piece of multigrain bread and topped with micro greens. As for the juices and lemonades, the selection was decent, and each had a distinct flavor that was mildly sweet and not overwhelming. If you’re looking to kick a soda habit that is filling your diet with sugar, it’s worth trying one of Organix’s lemonades as a replacement. The juices come in glass bottles that can be returned for reuse (they just surpassed over 50,000 bottles

being reused through their locations) and also come as wellness shots (more concentrated, smaller versions of the juices that are geared toward specific health benefits) and full juice cleanses that can be bought for one to multi-day use. There was hardly a wait for our brightlycolored and freshly-made food to make it to our table (you could also pick up at the counter if you hadn’t already picked a seat), and we were ready to dig in. The kimchi toast, at first glance, was easily the most impressive. We opted to try both of the flavors of kimchi, each on its own piece of toast. The red kimchi had a very crisp flavor and included cabbage, carrots, onions and radishes. It was spicy, delicious and would be perfect if you love Korean or Asian-inspired dishes. The white kimchi, on the other hand, did not have much spice, but a more prominent flavor of ginger. It was the less strong of the two, with a fresh flavor that would pair well with any of the detox juices or lemonades. Our hearts were set on the red kimchi toast, and we know we’d be craving it again soon. The Avo Love was exactly what I wanted. It was smooth and had a slight spice that made it all the more addicting. I was grateful it wasn’t too much avocado which could end up being sickening, but I did wish the bread had been toasted a bit more. The weight of the avocado (as well as the kimchi) made the bread limp

and challenging to eat. Nonetheless, both toasts were some of the best tasting snacks I have eaten in a while, and if you aren’t up for making them at home, they’re absolutely worth getting. Finally, the Berry Beautiful was a great combination of flavors and wasn’t overly sweet. The base was a bit thin for normal smoothie consistency, but the berry flavors of açaí, strawberry, blueberry, blackberry and raspberry were bright and identifiable. It paired well with the sliced strawberries, bananas, blueberries and honey on top. The granola gave it the crunch it needed, and there was even some at the bottom as an added bonus. Truthfully, I didn’t want to stop eating the food and was sad to see it all go. However, my stomach was satisfied, and the combinations of fresh flavors were so powerful yet healthy that it left me feeling energetic and content rather than lethargic and stuffed. Unfortunately, eating this way merely once won’t make your body or health transform overnight. But by including fresh ingredients, cold-pressed juices and locally-based meals in your diet, it can help you form new eating habits and even help motivate you to exercise more often.

Dread and Delight at the Weatherspoon

“

The girl burst out laughing; she knew she was nobody’s meat.” So wrote the late Angela Carter in her classic 1979 story “The Company of Ian McDowell Wolves,” which turned “Little Red Riding Hood” back Contributor into the werewolf tale it originally was, but also changed it from a cautionary warning to a celebration of triumphant and transformative female sexuality. For Carter, fairy tales were about teeth and fur, fear and desire, loss and being lost, finding and becoming, a naked man twisting out of a wolf skin and a young woman in a crimson cloak delighted rather than terrified by the change. Although she was the first, best and most influential

of modern literary writers inspired by the original uncensored folktales the Victorians scrubbed clean and banished to the nursery, visual artists have also been stepping off the path and embracing the deep dark heart of the wild wet woods. These explorative reclamations, beginning in the 1970s and continuing to this day, are the basis for Dread & Delight: Fairy Tales in an Anxious World, which opens Aug. 25 at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro’s Weatherspoon Art Museum. On Saturday, there is a reception from 5 until 9 p.m., with food, music and a cash bar. Both reception and exhibition are free and open to the public. The exhibition’s curator, art historian Emily Stamey, Ph.D., recommends that adults preview it before bringing children, explaining that images are available at the front desk. “There’s a reason we put ‘Dread’ before ‘Delight’ in the title,” she said on Friday. “This isn’t Elsa and Anna and Olaf.” Stamey told me that she’d been working on the exhibition for some years now,

The Des Moines Art Center, Iowa; Paul and Anastasia Polydoran Collection © Anna Gaskell, photo by Rich Sanders. having become interested in “the question of just when we started seeing so much of this fairytale artwork.” She said that, while fairytale illustrations go back to the earliest days of mass-produced books, it wasn’t until the last decades of the 20th century that the subject matter began appearing in fine art galleries and museums. This was the late ‘60s and early ‘70s when scholars such as Jack Zipes and Bruno Bettelheim rediscovered fairy tales. “It’s at this moment when we’ve just gotten through all the social movements of the 1960s. Not ‘through them’ in the sense of resolution, but they’ve brought all these things to our attention, especially those issues that align with who the protagonists are in fairy tales.” Those tales, Stamey told me, are not about “the rich or divine sort of macho hero, but poor people, women, outsiders. And that seems to align with where we’re thinking about people on the margins.” She said that this isn’t the only reason that artists turn to fairy tales, “but I think it sort of gave everybody a reason to dig into them.” As her vision of the exhibition developed, she focused on “artists who are unpacking or reimagining a specific story.” Rather than choosing art simply depicting fairies or witches, she looked “to see what artists did when they picked a particular fairy or folktale and asked, what’s in that story, what’s in that character.” Accordingly, the exhibition is arranged around seven tales from the Brothers Grimm, “so that when you go through the gallery you can compare and contrast how artists have looked at one particular story.” Along with “Rapunzel,” “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Hansel and Gretel,” “Snow White”

and “Cinderella,” Stamey included two less familiar stories. One, “Fitcher’s Bird” is a variant on the motif of the murderous husband and the “Bloody Chamber,” in which a young woman is abducted by a sorcerer who imprisons her in a house with a room she must never enter. The other, “All Fur,” is one of a subset of stories in which a princess flees the threat of incest and becomes a kitchen maid in another kingdom. Twenty-one internationally-recognized artists are featured in the exhibition. These include Ghada Amer, John Baldessari, Natalie Frank (who on Oct. 25 will take part in a conversation at Weatherspoon with her frequent collaborator, the preeminent fairy tale scholar Jack Zipes), David Hockney, Cindy Sherman and Miwa Yanagi. The exhibition’s scholarly catalog also includes “The White Cat’s Divorce,” a new work of fairy tale fiction written specifically for this occasion by UNCG alumna and Pulitzer Prize finalist Kelly Link. This story is delightfully strange even for its acclaimed author. It’s about a very rich and powerful much-married man and the three sons he sends on quests so their presence won’t remind him he’s getting old, and what the youngest finds on a Colorado cannabis farm run by cats. From there, it gets stranger, with resonances both traditional and Trumpian. More information about the exhibition, including hours, tours, and links to related programs at the Greensboro Public Library and Triad Stage, can be found at www. weatherspoon.uncg.edu/exhibitions. ! IAN MCDOWELL is the author of two published novels, numerous anthologized short stories, and a whole lot of nonfiction and journalism, some of which he’s proud of and none of which he’s ashamed of.

Nicholas Meyer: Remembering The Day After 35 years later For those who remember, the November 1983 ABC broadcast of The Day After generated a firestorm of controversy even before it aired. The film depicts the effects of World Mark Burger War III on Lawrence, Kansas, a Midwestern city that houses Contributor underground ICBM missile silos. When those missiles are launched, the residents realize it’s only a matter of minutes before their Soviet counterparts strike them. Those not instantly vaporized must face the inevitable consequence of radioactive fallout, and the daunting, if not impossible, prospect of rebuilding society. Edward Hume’s teleplay had been rejected by more than one director who simply didn’t want to tackle so depressing a topic. For Nicholas Meyer, coming off the blockbuster Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982), The Day After was an opportunity to illuminate the subject of nuclear annihilation. His intent was simple – to make it as honest and realistic as possible, and to retain the integrity of Hume’s writing. As he detailed in his 2009 memoir “The View from the Bridge,” it wasn’t a Cold War between Meyer and ABC; it was a heated one. The network was concerned about how graphic the film would be, how long it would be, and whether it would attract advertisers. The latter issue worked to Meyer’s advantage because there were no commercial interruptions after the bombs hit. Before airing, the White House and the U.S. Army requested cuts (both were denied). In the end, both Meyer and ABC conceded some battles – and The Day After became an event. In an exclusive interview with YES! Weekly, Meyer graciously offered his thoughts about the making and legacy of The Day After, and how it remains relevant. “Artists are not the best or ‘definitive’ judges of their own work,” he observed. “An artist loses all propriety authority over his or her creation when it is complete. Then it’s out in the wide world for everyone to make of it what they will. My opinion, then, is no more or less valuable – or accurate – than anyone else’s. I think the film ‘holds up’ because the topic has not gone away – it has become more urgent, alas – (and) as such, the movie qualifies WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

in my mind as the most worthwhile thing – so far! – I’ve had the chance to do.” The first-rate cast included Jason Robards, John Lithgow, JoBeth Williams, John Cullum, Amy Madigan, and Steve Guttenberg (then billed as “Steven”). Filming on location in Lawrence served two purposes: It lent an authentic flavor to the proceedings and, perhaps just as importantly, it was far enough away from Hollywood that Meyer wouldn’t have to deal with pressure from the network – or so he thought. “The actual shooting was, surprisingly, more or less like making any other movie – that is to say, a series of narrative, emotional, and logistical obstacles to confront and overcome, trying to organize and get the best results from a team of dedicated professionals before and behind the cameras,” he said. “I think everyone knew that what we were doing was ‘different’ from the usual movie … and the actors, as I recall, did have the hardest time. Steve Guttenberg, I remember, had nightmares. But all in all, we were a professional operation, taking pride in our work and, to a large and gratifying extent, in one another. It was especially interesting to me to see the intermingling of professional and novice actors and how seamlessly and respectfully they worked together.” In addition to earning 12 Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Drama/ Comedy Special and Outstanding Directing in a Limited Series or Special, the initial network broadcast was watched by 100 million people – a record for a television movie that still stands, and years later it was revealed that, upon viewing

the film, President Ronald Reagan was so distressed that it led him to rethink the nation’s nuclear policy. Kino Lorber Studio Classics has released The Day After on DVD ($19.95 retail) and Blu-ray ($29.95 retail), each boasting both the 122-minute broadcast version and the 127-minute theatrical version, retrospective interviews with Meyer and Williams, original trailers, and audio commentary featuring film historian Lee Gambin and comic artist/writer Tristan Jones. When the film was released on VHS and DVD, Meyer was able to restore some footage. “There’s no question that I prefer my cut of the movie and certainly wish some scenes that the network excised had remained in the film,” he admitted. “That said, I cannot gainsay the film’s effectiveness and its contribution to humanity’s most urgent problem – along with climate change, now. If it helped postpone the inevitable, I’m more than pleased.” ! See MARK BURGER’s reviews of current movies on Burgervideo.com. © 2018, Mark Burger.

A festival takes root: North Carolina Folk Festival picks up where its predecessor left off

he North Carolina Folk Festival is, in some ways, a brand new event. This year marks the first iteration of the Greensboro festival. However, in other John Adamian ways, it’s a musical @johnradamian celebration that is blooming exactly where it was planted. Contributor Or, it’s a new, young flowering shoot grafted on to older roots that are already seasoned and deep in the soil. The North Carolina Folk Festival picks up where the National Folk Festival left off. The National Folk Festival’s three-year run in Greensboro, from 2015 through 2017, was a wonderful and exuberant thing. The festival did an impressive job showcas-

ing the varieties of music being made by folks in America – jazz, blues, folk, hip-hop, country, gospel, and an array of traditional musical styles that immigrants have brought to this country from around the world. (The National Folk Festival finds a new host city every three years.) There were many highlights. Seeing, hearing and feeling (in your chest) the percussion-heavy party music of go-go legends Trouble Funk was a rare treat. And the trombone-centric sounds of Mangum and Company presented the ecstatic and jubilant praise music tradition of shout bands from the United House of Prayer. The interstellar big-band blasts of the Sun Ra Arkestra led by Marshall Allen was another peak experience for festival-goers, the kind of thing – part sci-fi space pageant and part Mardi Gras parade — that doesn’t hit the streets of Greensboro every day. Many of the performers had this in common: they make music as a way of building a community with a shared pulse, of drawing

Like its predecessor, the North Carolina Folk Festival is a free three-day event that will take place on the streets of downtown Greensboro. The 2018 festival runs from Sept. 7 through Sept. 9. One of the highlights of the 2018 festival will certainly be a performance by Rhiannon Giddens, the talented singer, songwriter and instrumentalist whose work draws on and accentuates the complex interwoven relationship between African-American traditions (string band music, country blues, gospel, jug band music and more) and the often-assumed-to-be-white styles of old-time and Appalachian folk music. Beyond her performance, Giddens, who was awarded a MacArthur genius grant last year, will infuse the festival with her wide-ranging musical intelligence in her role as guest curator for the festival this year. Giddens, 41, was born in Greensboro, and she’s retained a connection to her hometown and loyalty to North Carolina musical traditions that have informed her career. World-class Indian classical music will be performed by New York-based sitar player Indrajit Roy-Chowdhury and tabla player Naren Budhkar. Hindustani music from India was probably the first of the subcontinent’s many musical traditions to resonate in the West. That happened through the work of sitar legend Ravi Shankar and the enthusiasm that many British and American rock musicians in the ‘60s had for drawing on elements of raga. The classical music of Northern India is deep and complex, with elaborate tapered rhythmic structures, dense polyrhythms and improvisational sections that transfix listeners. The use of layered drones can create a hypnotic and meditative atmosphere as well. Roy-Chowdhury represents a style that is deeply rooted in venerable traditions and yet one that is flexible and open to new contexts and collaborations. Fruitful cross-cultural collaborations and hybrid vigor are at the heart of the North Carolina Folk Festival. Gypsy jazz is a perfect example of how something like American jazz can hop across the ocean and bump into flamenco and other traditions associated with the Roma or gypsy people, resulting in a style that is wholly new and energetic. Guitarist Django Reinhardt was the virtuoso who brought the music to its

Rhiannon Giddens full flowering in the 1930s and ‘40s, and generations of players since then have worked to capture the combustible energy in his rapid-fire runs and crisp strumming flurries. The John Jorgenson Quintet bring gypsy jazz back across the Atlantic. Jorgenson plays with a Django-esque precision and drive. The JJQ have that rare mix of technical mastery and effervescence. The festival will also include Sona Jobarteh playing the music of the West African kora, a 21-string harp associated with the hereditary class of musician bards known as djelis or griots. There will be beach music, a breezy Southern coastal twist on soul, performed by the Embers. Also look for Shashmaqam playing traditional Jewish music from Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. And Nathan & the Zydeco Cha Chas will play the bouncing accordionheavy dance music of Creole southern Louisiana. There will be Peruvian brassband music, tap-dancing, rap, western swing and more, along with dozens of food and drink vendors and a marketplace for North Carolina makers. America gets so much drive and zip from our melting-pot culture. It was true in the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, and it’s true now. Each go-round brings a different batch of ingredients to the mix, but it’s the creative combination that powers the show. Occasionally the idea seems like it needs defending from the forces of insularity and xenophobia, and there are few arguments as persuasive as everyone getting together in the streets to have a good time. ! JOHN ADAMIAN lives in Winston-Salem, and his writing has appeared in Wired, The Believer, Relix, Arthur, Modern Farmer, the Hartford Courant and numerous other publications.

Fifty Shades of Cray: Lifestyles of the rich and flamboyant

BY MATT BRUNSON

as it really been 25 years since The Joy Luck Club premiered? Certainly, there has been a handful of American films in the interim quarter-century that has showcased Asian casts — the 2003 crime flick A Better Tomorrow readily springs to mind — but Crazy Rich Asians ( ) is reportedly the first since The Joy Luck Club to be released by a major Hollywood studio. The lengthy wait would normally be puzzling — after all, The Joy Luck Club was a box office success — but given the studios’ hesitancy when it comes to fair representation in film, it’s perhaps not that puzzling after all. (As but one example, take the case of Spike Lee’s Inside Man; it earned $88 million stateside and $184 million worldwide, yet Lee was unable to secure financing for a sequel.) At any rate, expect Crazy Rich Asians to gross even more than The Joy Luck Club because while it’s not necessarily a better picture, it is a more accessible one for

WARNER BROS.

mainstream palates, as well as the sort of effervescent rom-com that has been in seriously short supply as of late. Based on Kevin Kwan’s bestselling novel, Crazy Rich Asians stars Constance Wu as Rachel Chu, a New York University economics professor who journeys to Singapore to attend a wedding alongside her boyfriend Nick Young (Henry Gold-

ing). Nick hails from Singapore, meaning that Rachel will finally get to meet his family. What Nick never bothered to tell her, though, is that his family is filthy rich. That’s enough of a shock for Rachel, but more disturbing is the fact that Nick’s mother, Eleanor (Michelle Yeoh), is a strict traditionalist who makes no secret of the fact that she believes Rachel

will never be good enough for her son. Thus, Crazy Rich Asians sets up its clashes on two levels, with the conflict between East and West fueling much of the drama and the differences between the rich and, well, everyone else providing much of the humor. Forget the 1 percent: The Young family represents the .01 percent, with their wealth making Christian Grey from the Fifty Shades saga look as destitute as the backwoods characters in Deliverance by comparison. This is finance porn raised to an absurd level, which actually plays into the film’s general view that life’s a party and everyone should be invited. Wu is enormously appealing in the central role, while Awkwafina, who stole plenty a scene in the recent Ocean’s 8, does likewise in her role as Rachel’s zany friend Peik Lin Goh. Even Ken Jeong, normally a screen irritant, has some amusing moments as Peik Lin’s rich yet unrefined dad. Indeed, it’s the wide range of engaging characters that primarily provides Crazy Rich Asians with both its zaniness and its worthiness. !

[NEWS OF THE WEIRD] AWESOME!

Retirees Marli and Paulo Ciquinel of Meleiro in southern Brazil discovered a fetishist’s dream in the vegetable garden behind their home: a 17 1/2-pound potato that has grown into Chuck Shepherd the shape of a huge human foot (with six toes). The “toes” descend in size, much as human toes do, and the largest has roots that look like hair. The “foot” portion of the tuber reaches up almost to knee-height. Marli told the Mirror, “We have never seen anything like it.” Paulo said he was “a little bit scared when we harvested that potato.” The couple don’t plan to eat it.

IRONY

Tania Singer, 48, a renowned neuroscientist who is one of the world’s top researchers on human empathy, has been accused by co-workers of being ... a bully. “Whenever anyone had a meeting with her, there was at least an even chance they would come out in tears,” one colleague told Science magazine. Others said the daily working environment included threats and emotional abuse, The Washington Post reported on Aug. 12. For her part, Singer denied the most serious charges and said, “(T)he workload and pressure increasing led to stress and strain that in turn sometimes caused inadequate communication with my staff in problem situations.” The Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, Germany, where Singer has her lab, granted Singer a sabbatical in 2017 and said in a statement that when she returns, “it is envisioned that Prof. Singer will head, at her own request, a considerably smaller working group for social neuroscience.”

In Columbus, Ohio, workers repairing a street on Aug. 8 hit an unmarked water main, causing homes along the road to lose water. One man couldn’t be deterred from finishing his shower, though: WCMH TV reported that after screaming from his porch, “I was in the f———- shower!” the unidentified resident finished his morning toilette on the street, in the geyser from the pipe. Facebook user Cody Vickers took a picture of two astonished crewmembers as Mr. Clean rinsed off nearby.

offers “an eco solution to public peeing.” But Reuters reports that nearby residents and business owners are unhappy about the urinals, saying they are “immodest and ugly” and will “incite exhibitionism.” The “Uritrottoir,” a mashup of the French words for urinal and sidewalk, looks much like a plastic trash receptacle, and local mayor Ariel Weil says they’re necessary: “If we don’t do anything, then men are just going to pee in the streets.”

OOPS!

Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, Colorado, is footing the bill for a possible $46,000 reprint job after a recent graduate found a typo on his diploma. Alec Williams, former editor of the school’s newspaper, was examining his sheepskin when he found a line reading “Coard of Trustees,” instead of “Board of Trustees” under one of the signatures. “There was this moment of laughing at it ... and the more I thought about it, the more frustrated I got, because I’m sitting on $30,000 worth of debt and they can’t take the time to use spellcheck,” he said. CMU President Tim Foster told The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel that the school will send out corrected diplomas to 2018 grads — but the typo goes back to 2012 diplomas. Those graduates can request a new diploma if they want to. “This mistake is all ours,” he said.

EXTREME MEASURES

Your city may not have the dubious pleasure of pay-per-minute electric scooters yet, but in some places, the handy people transports have overstayed their welcome. The Los Angeles Times reported on Aug. 10 that angry residents are throwing Bird scooters off balconies, heaving them into the ocean, stuffing them in trashcans and setting them afire. Robert Johnson Bey, a Venice Beach maintenance worker, said: “Sunday, I was finding kickstands everywhere. Looked like they were snapped off.” What’s worse, the perpetrators are documenting their destruction on social media; Instagram has a Bird Graveyard account devoted to chronicles of scooter desecration. Culver City resident Hassan Galedary, 32, has a visceral reaction to the scooters: “I hate Birds more than anyone,” he said. “They suck. People who ride them suck.” However, he has stopped defacing them: “I can’t put bad energy into the world. I don’t even kick them over anymore.” !

et’s face it; as a nation, we are overworked. According to a 2014 Gallup poll, United States citizens are working more than 40 hours a week, and the stress from Katie Murawski working is making people sick with “hyEditor pertension, cardiovascular disease, and decreased mental health,” according to The Atlantic’s “The Alarming, Long-Term Consequences of Workplace Stress” by Gillian B. White. In 2018, worrisome headlines, political division, racial tension, gun violence and environmental concerns are the usual suspects when it comes to additional stressors. Every once in a while, we need to step back from our busy schedules and take time to care for ourselves. YES! Weekly visited various health and wellYES! WEEKLY

ness facilities in the area and highlighted some of the many ways one can treat themselves. Coolhouse Cryotherapy 115 S. Stratford Rd., Winston-Salem Tucked in the Stratford Village shopping center, is a place solely dedicated to “chilling out.” Coolhouse Cryotherapy boasts online that it is Winston-Salem’s “coolest and most advanced wellness center.” Owner Hartley Hsu is no stranger in the health and wellness field, office manager Hannah Hsu said. He also owns Hartstrong Training, a private gym off of Healy Drive in Winston-Salem. Hannah said Hartley partnered with his friend and the person who told him about cryotherapy, Jon Abbate. Abbate is the former Wake Forest Demon Deacon linebacker who went on to the National Football League as a player for the Houston Texans. (“Cool” fact about Abbate: He was the subject of the 2011 film The Fifth Quarter.) Hannah said cryotherapy helps regulate

the body and helps treat arthritis, fibromyalgia, sleep disorders, mood disorders, eczema, psoriasis and various athletic injuries. “It is kind of like an ice bath, but a lot colder,” she said. “It is not as long and not as painful.” How cold? According to the website, a cool -130 to -184 degrees Fahrenheit. Hannah said Coolhouse’s cryo chambers uses nitrogen vapors, and people spend two to three minutes in it at a time. When someone goes into a chamber, they have to be completely dry and are given socks, gloves, and boots to wear. Hannah said males would need to wear shorts, but females can go in nude or in their underwear. “It sounds really cold and is really cold, but it is so dry that you don’t get that wet-cold feeling like you would with an ice bath or cold shower,” she said. In addition to the chambers, Coolhouse also has spot treatments that target more specific areas of the body, such as the knees, elbows and even the face. Hannah said cryotherapy could be used for facials

as a “natural and chemical-free alternative.” Coolhouse also offers compressions (no temperature component used) for arms, legs, and hips while you lounge in zero-gravity chairs. Hannah said the air compressions increases blood flow and in turn, heals the body faster. She said it is important for people to take time for themselves because it will make them more productive. “I don’t really feel like you can give to other people until you really take the time and take care of yourself. You have to start with yourself before you can really give 100 percent to your job, family/kids, whatever it may be.” For pricing and more information, check out the website (www.coolhousecryo. com/). Himalayan Hideaway Salt Cave 3281 Robinhood Rd., Winston-Salem For owner Chrissy Klunder, opening a salt cave was never part of her life plans. “I got very sick at the end of December 2016, and the doctors couldn’t really

figure out what was going on,” she said. “And I went to different specialists and things, and nobody had an answer for me.” She tried prescriptions and vitamins, but nothing was easing her pain and fatigue. She went on a trip to Asheville and visited the salt cave there, and said she instantly felt relief. “Later that day, my pain was gone, and my energy returned and I knew something was up whatever was in that room,” she said. She started researching and found that salt therapy was a holistic, natural and non-invasive way to help skin and respiratory issues. Allergies, asthma, COPD, bronchitis, and arthritis are among the conditions that salt therapy can help treat, Klunder said. I tried the cave out myself, per Klunder’s suggestion. I found the 45-minute session to be extremely calming and much needed. Her salt cave “microclimate” is actually massive, and the entire room is filled with pink Himalayan salt--from the salt lights on the wall to the crystals on the floor. The aesthetic of the cave is soothing. The twinkling star lights above line up perfectly with deep and slow breaths to enhance meditation. Little by little, each salt lamp flicks off until the room is completely dark and the only thing heard is soft music and the sound of pharmaceuticalgrade salt being pumped into the air. Reclining in the zero-gravity chairs and snuggling up with a blanket pair nicely with the electronics-free zone. (That’s right, 45 minutes without your cell phone!) After each session, participants are invited to come back to the tea room, prop up their feet on a heated salt lamp and wind down. Klunder suggests that people use the salt cave complementary to what their doctors already prescribe and suggest, and to stay hydrated after their session. Klunder wrote in an email that while she thinks treating yourself is a great thing, “there are certain times we need to look at what we view as a ‘treat’ is actually true therapy.” She wrote that downtime from daily activities and stress could be powerful for resetting and restoring “our collective energy.” Each session is $40, but Klunder said there are other packages as well for people who want to come more frequently. An unlimited monthly package offers participants to come as frequently as they want (under normal business hours) for $200. Himalayan Hideaway is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 3 p.m. Sessions start at the top of each hour.

Atvara Hot Yoga Lounge 778-D Park Centre Dr., Kernersville Located right in the middle of most people’s daily commute is a hot yoga lounge that may be the bestkept secret in Kernersville. Atvara Hot Yoga Lounge is owned by Liliana Camara who took over ownership of what was formerly known as Hot Yoga Therapy about three months ago. There are two types of yoga that are offered at Atvara, hot and warm. Camara said hot yoga is Bikram style yoga that is practiced in a space that is 105 degrees Fahrenheit, and warm yoga is Vinyasa style yoga that is practiced in a space that is 90 to 92 degrees Fahrenheit. www.yeSweekly.com

Camara said the name “Atvara” in Sanskrit means “intentionally calm,” which is what she wants to inspire at the lounge. She has transformed an unsuspecting building located right off Interstate 40 into a one-stop rejuvenation center. Other than making renovations, Camara changed the fluorescence lighting in the 1,300 square-foot hot yoga studio to string lights that are dim and easier on the eyes. She also filled the walls with artwork by her father. She is most proud of replacing the hot yoga studio’s carpet with virgin rubber flooring, which has made the room more sanitary, she said. In addition to the hot yoga studio, the lounge has five full bathrooms with showers, vanities and dressing rooms. (Camara said this setup works perfectly for the 6 a.m. yoga class.) “You can just stop by, take your class, take a shower, do your make-up, and every station has a blow dryer so you can dry your hair and be ready for work,” she said. Hot yoga isn’t the only service offered at Atvara. There is both a Himalayan salt room and a floatation tank also housed at the facility. Camara said people could visit the salt room alone or with two other people. In the room, there is salt on the floor as well as salt lamps that light the room. There is an infrared heated cot infused with finer salt particles that are released into the air through the heat. In addition, there is a jade vest that is also heated by infrared. The room is topped off with a waterfall and soft music. Just across the hall, there is a room with a floatation tank, which Camara said is the most popular type of therapy used in the lounge. The tank consists of 250 gallons of 94-degree water and around 1,000 pounds (and counting) of Epsom salt, she said. Camara said treating oneself is essential to their well-being. She said people are used to a busy schedule, and they often forget about taking care of themselves because they are taking care of others. “I think that taking care of yourself is underrated,” she said. “You neglect yourself because you make sure everyone around you is taken care of, and at the end of the day, if you suffer, everybody suffers.” For more information and pricing, visit Atvara’s website (www.hotyogatherapy.com/). Health & Style Institute 500 Four Season Town Center, Greensboro Treating yourself to discounted cosmetic services such as haircuts, nails and facials could be beneficial to not only you but also students who are working toward their goal of being a professional cosmetologist or esthetician. The Health & Style Institute is home to 260 students and 35 “exceptional, well-educated and knowledgeable” employees who are all licensed by the state of North Carolina, said executive director, teacher and cosmetologist Kim Combs. The cosmetic art school started in 2011 and teaches cosmetology, esthetics, and trains already licensed individuals to become cosmetology instructors. The Health & Style Institute is also a Grade-A, running salon and skin clinic open to the public. Combs said people could come and purchase salon (such as haircuts, colors and chemical treatments) or skin care (such as facials, back facials, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and hand and foot treatments) services at a

Atvara Hot Yoga Lounge

Health & Style Institute

AUGUST 22-28, 2018 YES! WEEKLY

“greatly discounted price” compared to what other salons and spas cost. Combs said coming to the Health & Style Institute is a win-win for folks because customers save big on usually pricy services, and in turn, a student gets to practice on a person for the experience. “Everybody loves to be pampered, everyone wants to look youthful, come in and try out the services at a discounted price before you go pay $100 plus in a spa,” Combs said. “The one thing I do want to remind people, it is an educational facility, so everything is not going to be perfect. There are licensed instructors here who assist the students, so it is not like the students are doing it on their own, they have guidance.” The weekly special days include Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. On Tuesday, free facials are offered to teenagers who are struggling with acne or who do not know how to take care of their skin properly, Combs said. On Wednesday, free kids (age 12 and under) haircuts are offered and on Thursday, if someone purchases three services, their entire ticket is 50 percent off. Appointments for Thursdays should be made in advance, Combs said. “We do allow people to book appointments with students personally, so they learn the business end of the industry as well because that is a really key piece that a lot of other schools don’t teach,” she said. Combs said the Health & Style Institute’s roots run deep in the Greensboro

community. The institute also hosts food drives and will help the community in crisis. She also said the Boys and Girls club comes to get haircuts there and in the past, the Health & Style Institute has donated $5,000 of product to Leslie’s House in High Point. Combs encourages people to check out Groupon for the best deals the Health & Style Institute has to offer. She also encourages folks to come in and see for themselves. “Right now you can go out on Groupon and get a manicure/pedicure for $12,” she said. “There are also skin care and haircuts/highlights.” The skin clinic is open for three sessions Tuesday through Friday, and the cosmetology salon floor is open Tuesday through Saturday. For more information, visit the website (www.healthandstyle.edu/). Sonder Mind & Body and The Well Cafe 515 S. Elm St., Greensboro As a new addition to South Elm Street, Sonder Mind & Body and The Well Cafe is both a wellness center and a cafe/coldpress juice bar. Twin sisters and co-owners Jessika and Veronika Olsen decided to call their space Sonder Mind and Body because the word sonder means, “The realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own.” “We are not a spa; we call ourselves a new kind of wellness center,” Veronika said. “We want people to realize that all

these different tools are available to them and they are not this fancy thing that is out of reach. Our whole mission statement is about finding balance in different tools.” Veronika and Jessika come from a family of medical professionals. Veronika has owned a wellness center before in Hawaii and Jessika has a culinary background. Both sisters have also worked as thirdparty consultants for the USDA and FDA as food regulators. Veronika said both she and her sister suffer from multiple autoimmune diseases, and that is the main reason why they decided to open Sonder. “We basically created a place that we needed and being somebody (I hate to use the word) who’s sick, I am tired of going to 50 different places to get treatment, because that within itself is really stressful,” Veronika said. The cafe and juice bar invites the public in for gut-healing healthy foods that are dairy-free, nut-free, soy-free, cornfree and gluten-free. Veronika said that everything starts out as vegan, but can be modified to fit the person’s preference. The cold-press juice is not just juice, but also a mix of herbs and adaptogens. In the wellness center part of Sonder, there are a variety of integrated health practitioners (who are independent businesses from Sonder but lease the space through the Olsens). There are massage therapists, a chiropractor, an integrative medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a lifestyle and wellness coach, a hypnotherapist, community acupuncture

(every Thursday), yoga instructors as well as aromatherapy, meditation and other various workshops. Sonder is also home to two sensory deprivation floatation therapy tanks- one pod and one room, and a three-in-one infrared sauna. The sisters decided to go in business together after their mother told them about the benefits of floatation therapy. “We got into floatation therapy because our mom had breast cancer four years ago,” Jessika said. “She found floatation therapy really helped her through chemotherapy-physically and mentally.” Jessika said this society is creating unhealthy habits and in turn, sick people. She and Veronika hope Sonder normalizes the need for people to take a break and take care of themselves. “It is just work, work, work,” Jessika said. “Look at diabetes rate, look at the autoimmune rate, everyone’s bodies are trying to tell them something: calm down, right? But society is like ‘go, go-be this person, be that person.’ We offer this space because we have noticed that we just have to stop sometimes in order for us to heal or be happy. What is life if you don’t know yourself or what is going on with yourself?” For more information and pricing, visit the website (www.sondermindandbody. com/). ! KATIE MURAWSKI is the editor of YES!

Doodad Farm is more than a music venue BY TERRY RADER In January, I discovered that the annual Groove Jam Music Festival is just one of many events hosted by Dean and Laurel Driver at Doodad Farm. When a friend took me to my first house concert, with Joe Newberry and Gabriela la Foley, I quickly returned for more house concerts. Specifically, the 1972 Redo Music Benefit for Harmony Music School, outdoor shows with local musicians performing original songs including Sam Frazier & the Side Effects, Trent Lee, Jack Williams, Barry Gray & Graymatter, Jack Gorham, Jon Shain, Carrie Paz and national act, Jonathan Byrd. Driver told me how he and Laurel first discovered the American/folk-rock band, Driftwood at Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival. They were so impressed with how well Driftwood was received and offered to host them in 2012. Driftwood has returned to Doodad Farm, their favorite place to play, every year since, creating quite a following in Greensboro. They bring in larger audiences than any other act, considering they are from upstate New York. “They ruined me for most every band, they are so good,” Driver said. “They might go from playing a folk-rock song to a traditional rendition of ‘Turkey in the Straw,’ and when they do Dylan covers, you don’t realize it until further along. They make every cover their own. Driftwood may dazzle the crowd with a few tasty cover songs, but mostly they perform originals from their five albums.” The group, formed in 2005, consists of Dan Forsyth (guitar, vocals), Joe Kollar

WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

(banjo, guitar, percussion), Claire Byrne (violin, vocals) and Joey Arcuri (upright bass, vocals). Just recently, Driftwood added drummer Will Sigel. Everyone who has become a part of the Doodad Farm tribe will attest to Dean and Laurel being gracious hosts, happily sharing the land and connecting more people to music. They are open to hosting more musicians and local community nonprofit fundraisers, and they never take a penny for any event. Rich Lerner of Rich Lerner and the Groove, was also happy to find Doodad Farm, the venue of choice for six years now for the Groove Jam Music Festival. Lerner has managed this nonprofit fundraiser for the Greensboro Urban Ministry since 2011.

“I met Warren Haynes at The Christmas Jam benefit that originated in Asheville to raise money for the Habitat for Humanity,” Lerner said. “Haynes was featuring bands he was friends with or had played with, including The Allman Brothers Band, The Avett Brothers, The Doobie Brothers and others. That was such an inspiration to me. I wanted to do a smaller fundraiser in my community with a group of my musician friends. Since 2011, it has grown to include many local acts, and they play for free. All of the proceeds go to the Greensboro Urban Ministry. Last year was our biggest year ever. With an attendance of 750 people, we raised $19,000 and collected 4,148 pounds of food donations. We expect this one to do even better as it has grown every year.”

Driver told me that Lerner runs this fundraiser like a well-oiled machine. It’s the only event where the Doodad volunteers get to be hands-off, relax and enjoy the music. “The farm is only 10 minutes from downtown Greensboro, but you’ll feel like you’re way out in the country,” Driver said. “For Groove Jam, we’ll have a food truck and plenty of activities to entertain the kids. Bring your coolers and chairs. Sit up front to watch the band or sit further back to visit with friends. It’s a win-win for everyone. Doodad Farm has its own vibe. You’ll feel it when you’re here. Please spread the word about our events so everyone can enjoy our place.” This day-long fundraiser with local bands performing mostly covers is not the typical Doodad experience (which consists of original music and smaller crowds). Driver revealed that there would be a new Candlelight Concert series starting in late September. They plan to take music back in time 150 years. That means no amps, mics, electric lights, cell phones or photos for the most intimate, natural setting ever, where only 35 people sit right up on the stage with the performers. RSVP to save your spot. !

* It was American author, journalist and psychoanalysis researcher Judith Viorst who made the following sage observation: “Infatuation is when you think that he’s as sexy as Robert Redford, as smart as Henry Kissinger, as noble as Ralph Nader, as funny as Woody Allen, and as athletic as Jimmy Connors. Love is when you realize he’s as sexy as Woody Allen, as smart as Jimmy Connors, as funny as Ralph Nader, as athletic as Henry Kissinger and nothing like Robert Redford — but you’ll take him anyway.” * Those who study such things say that Labor Day is Americans’ third most favorite holiday, ranking only after Christmas/Hanukkah and Memorial Day. Also, a quarter of Americans are expected to travel out of town over the holiday weekend, with the most popular destinations being New York City, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Orlando and Chicago.

* In the TV show “Charlie’s Angels,” it was a requirement that each of the stars had eight different outfits for each episode. * The country of South Africa has a grand total of 11 official languages. * Now that fall is approaching, here are a couple of interesting tidbits for parents: In the United States, the average K-12 student has $688 in back-to-school expenses. For the average college student, that goes up to $970. * For reasons that aren’t quite clear, in Sweden, it’s illegal to train a seal to balance a ball on the tip of its nose.

POWER TULLE

Why are there lots of bridal magazines but no magazines for grooms? What does that imply? — A Male

Consider men’s general lack of interest in wedding planning. Of Advice course, if men did Goddess the organizing, there’d probably be a paintball duel to the altar, strippers serving nachos, and a minister who ends the ceremony with: “You may now have a threesome with the bride and her sister.” However, what we could call the “wedding-industrial complex” — with $56 billion in sales in the U.S. in 2017 (per The Wedding Report) — is driven mainly by women (and, more recently — and to a lesser extent — very stylish gay men). So we often hear about “bridezillas” — human nightmares losing it over picky-wicky wedding details — but it’s the rare man who even comes close to caring enough to be called a “groomzilla.” In fact, though many women start planning their weddings years before meeting a potential groom, there probably isn’t a guy out there who gave thought to, say, what the centerpieces would be until he absolutely had to: “Um...honey, am I crazy, or is that an electric cattle prod you’re holding?” And frankly, for the average guy getting married, the ideal situation would be to

propose, get clocked with a bowling trophy, and wake up 10 months later to one of his bros shaking a tux in his face and saying, “Hose off and get dressed, man. You gotta be at the chapel in an hour!” These sex differences in wedding micromanagement reflect evolved sex differences in what evolutionary psychologists David Buss and David Schmitt call “sexual strategies.” These refer to long-term versus short-term orientation in mating — committed sex versus casual sex. Though there are times when casual sex is the optimal choice for a woman, in general, women tend to benefit more from a “long-term mating strategy” — holding out for men who are willing and able to stick around to protect and provide for their children. (Think handsome prince — and all that “happily ever after” stuff — versus handsome hookup.) Men will suck it up and opt for a longterm relationship for a number of reasons, Buss and Schmitt explain: because being on the hunt is time-, energy-, and resource-sucking and because “highly desirable” women can hold out for commitment. But because a man can, let’s just say, sheet ‘em and street ‘em and still have a pretty good chance of passing on his genes, men often benefit more from a “short-term sexual strategy” — quantity over quality, or what I call the “I love a parade!” model. Still, this isn’t all that’s driving the average man’s lack of interest in the color of the posies on the dessert table. There’s also the evolved sex difference in status competition — the differing ways men and women compete for status intrasexually (with others of their sex).

A man bewitched is a man less likely to stray — so the fairy tale is actually a commitment fantasy. The “fairy tale wedding” is a celebration of that — the successful completion of an evolutionary imperative, or, as the bride might put it: “Nyah-nyahnyah-nyah-nyah-nyah! You girls fight amongst yourselves for the toothless peasants!” Getting back to the male point of view, a guy gets married because he has become “bewitched” (“fallen in love,” in contemporary terms) and wants a life partner and/or a family and realizes that sex with a string of strippers is not the path to suburban dad-hood. However, even when a man decides to commit to one particular woman, his evolved drive for sexual variety remains. So...to finally answer your question: No man wants to buy “Grooms!” magazine — because a wedding is, in a sense, a giant frothy funeral for his sex life. ! GOT A problem?

answers [CROSSWORD]

As I explained recently, a major way men compete for status with other men is by being accompanied by smoking-hot women. (Welcome to the Armcandylympics!) These hotties don’t have to be wives or girlfriends; they just shouldn’t look like they’re with a guy simply because his credit card cleared at the rent-a”model” website. Women, on the other hand, evolved to compete for status with other women by pairing up with the most high-status man they can get. Though we’re living in modern times, we’re still driven by Stone Age psychology. In ancestral times, a woman’s partner’s status would have been a life-or-death issue — affecting the level of “provisioning” (eats, housing) and protection she had for herself and her children. In other words, so-called “princess culture” was created by evolution, not Disney. So little girls, to the great dismay of their progressive parents, are drawn to those stories of the scullery maid who ends up marrying the prince — the rich, high-status, hunky dude (good genes!) who could have any woman but finds our girl uniquely bewitching.

Come see why we're the best!
