The past week has brought some renovations and a revival to a local restaurant that some say, “started it all” in Greensboro. LIBERTY OAK RESTAURANT has been a Greensboro institution for decades and now it is once again family-owned. The new owners hope to return the icon to its former glory.

10 The University of North Carolina School of Drama announced that SCOTT ZIGLER has been selected to become the next dean.

11 In the kitchen of The Claddagh, MAYRA CROMER is whipping up something fresh and potentially profitable: her one-of-a-kind blueberry jam. She said this jam is not just for your biscuit because it is a popular and widely used condiment at the restaurant.

12 A tent revival is supposed to be boisterous. It’s not a quiet, introspective, monastic situation. It’s rowdy. It’s about embracing the spirit and bringing it to the people, maybe jump-starting an electrifying conversion experience. So, the eclectic and frequently ecstatic North Carolina band HOLY GHOST TENT REVIVAL stay true to their name by bringing a jolting

participatory energy and group fervor to their live shows.

19 Based on the 1952 movie of the same name, SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN JR. takes place in Hollywood during the final days of silent movies. Celebrity “couple” Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are a hot item in silent films, but things aren’t quite what they seem behind the scenes.

20 It’s remarkably easy and completely understandable to complain about superhero fatigue, until one realizes that the SUPERHEROES are the ones saving the day — and the box office.

24 I reached back out to “Vlad,” my anonymous source and the pit boss at a FISH TABLES arcade off Gate City Boulevard whom I’d previously interviewed for the April article. When we last spoke, his establishment had been recently robbed by what he called “a very professional three-man crew, ski masks, glocks, shotgun--they knew what they were doing, and hit two other places after us.”

25 “Books, the truest friends of man, fill this rolling caravan,” wheat-pasted above the windshield inside his mobile bookstore, BOOMERANG BOOKSHOP: Nomad Chapter.

[BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT] THE IDIOT BOX

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings laughter erupts from the basement theater of Geeksboro Coffeehouse and Cinema. Greensboro’s hub for local comedians, The Idiot Box has been operating under Geeksboro since September 2016.

Co-owner Jennie Stencel said it is the only place in the Greensboro area that supports local comedians and is one of the only places around to see live comedy shows. Stencel and co-owner Steve Lesser started in Chapel Hill at a chain of improv clubs called Comedy Sports but decided they wanted to own a club themselves. They bounced back and forth from places in downtown until they finally settled down at Geeksboro.

“Downtown just got more difficult,” Stencel said.

“We ended up meeting up with Joe [the owner of Geeksboro] for a different reason, and he told us that we could perform at his theater, and how he had lots of open nights. It has been pretty great for both of us.”

The Idiot Box’s schedule on Thursday nights is open mic, Friday is stand-up and special events, and Saturday afternoon there is a family-friendly improv show, and Saturday night there are two improv shows.

The Idiot Box does not only offer shows for your entertainment, but they also offer five-week different-leveled classes for improv, stand-up and sketch comedy. These classes start in August and

cost $125. Stand-up classes are taught by Eric Trundy and Steve Lesser, Stencel teaches improv and A.J. Schrader teaches the sketch classes.

In open mic, stand-up, and improv there are only about 16, 12 and 12, people respectively that are in each group. From there, people are encouraged to audition for The Idiot Box’s troupe.

This year marks the 10th year of North Carolina’s longest running stand-up competition, Stencel said. She hopes to have 100 comics enter to perform. Out of 100, only five will be able to be finalists, and only one will win the $1,000 prize. This competition, Stencel said, will begin in September and will run until January when the finals are.

“It is one of the longest running stand-up competitions that is a benefit for stand-ups,” Stencel said. “A lot of times, it is just a money maker for the venue, but we do not really make any money off of it we use the money to have their set recorded so that they can have a recording of themselves.”

Stencel said The Idiot Box aims to support comedy and not just make money off of comedians.

“Anybody that comes here loves it,” Stencel said.

“It is one of the only things to go out and have a real experience of live fun in the area. It is a cool place in the basement.”

Liberty Oak gets new owners, new life

T

he past week has brought some renovations and a revival to a local restaurant that some say, “started it all” in Greensboro.

Liberty Oak ResKristi Maier taurant has been a @triadfoodie Greensboro institution for decades and now it is once again Contributor family-owned. The new owners hope to return the icon to its former glory.

When executive chef and partner Kristofer Reid found out that Liberty Oak was for sale, he, his father, Durwood and his brother, William, decided to buy the restaurant from Eddie Gramisci. Kristofer Reid has worked in many local restaurants such as Jeffrey Adams on Fourth, Fourth Street Filling Station, Finnigan’s Wake in Winston-Salem, Aramark at High Point University and the former Ganache in Greensboro. He joined Liberty Oak as a chef in February and found out Gramisci was looking to sell.

“I always wanted to own a restaurant and really I wanted to start from scratch but found out this was for sale,” he said.

“The foundation of business for the restaurant was already there. It’s still a big risk, but Liberty Oak has customers so we saw it as too good an opportunity to pass up.”

The 38-year-old now mans the kitchen and management, his brother is the assistant general manager and their parents manage the finances.

“It really is all family here,” Kristofer Reid said.

There’s also no question that a few of its patrons will tell you that the restaurant had lost a bit of its mojo recently. Added to that, some stiff competition with the growing restaurant scene in the area.

The restaurant that paved the way was starting to get left in the dust. Kristofer Reid said he hopes to keep the restaurant relevant with a new menu and new look.

“We knew that Liberty Oak had a great reputation that was slipping, but not too far gone to get it back,” Kristofer Reid said.

They’ve kept some of the top five menu items for lunch as well as dinner. “‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,’ we said,” Kristofer Reid remarked. But one of the more noticeable changes that folks will enjoy is the Burger of the Week.

“We want to give our chefs some creativity to plan a really cool burger,

make it the special that week and give the guests something exciting to take part in,” Kristofer Reid said. “If the burger is a hit, we’ll make it an occasional feature item.”

He said one new menu item folks might enjoy now is the Shrimp Pita, which features their popular dynamite shrimp wrapped in pita bread and served with Asian slaw. More local sourcing of ingredients is also in their future, he said.

“We want to stay as local as we can, but it takes time to get there,” Kristofer Reid said. “We work with providers who can get us local produce and we’ll be adding more beef and seafood from North Carolina as well.”

For dessert, Kristofer Reid has brought on his neighbor at the popular, Cheesecakes by Alex.

Liberty Oak was closed last week for renovations but it reopened July 7, the Reids said they were very pleased with the

Kristofer Reid said they installed all-new, efficient kitchen equipment, which folks will be able to see since Liberty Oak has an open kitchen. They also gave themselves a fresh coat of neutral paint and replaced the artwork on the wall with black and white photographs of other iconic locations around the city of Greensboro.

Liberty Oak bar manager Pete Jackson said he welcomes the new ownership and describes it as a “breath of fresh air.”

“I’ve been at Liberty Oak long enough to have seen how difficult it can be to sustain a profitable business at the local level,” Jackson said. “Seeing the restaurant operate with a full staff, functioning systems in place, and for people who genuinely care is rewarding in a way corporate chains aren’t capable of offering.”

Mary Lacklen of Triad Local First, said she’s also thrilled that the restaurant

has been purchased by a local family and looks forward to what’s to come.

“I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for Liberty Oak,” she said. “We want them to do well and we’re all for young entrepreneurs who want to be a part of the local movement.”

Kristofer Reid said that Liberty Oak is also now offering off-site catering, boxed lunches and is available for private parties as well. !

Announcements and accolades at UNCSA

T

he University of North Carolina School of Drama announced that Scott Zigler has been selected to become the next dean. For Mark Burger the last 20 years, Zigler has been the and head of Contributing director actor training at the columnist American Repertory Theater/Moscow Art Theater School Institute for Advanced Theater Training at Harvard University. He will succeed Carl Forsman, who served as dean for five years and announced last summer his intention to step down at the end of the 2016-2017 school year. Following a research leave, he would resume a full time faculty position teaching both acting and directing.

Zigler will continue at Harvard through May 2018 and join University North Carolina School of the Arts full time the next month. Until then, UNCSA School of Drama professor Dale Girard will serve as interim associate dean, supervising the daily administrative duties and working with Zigler to make the transition easier.

Bob Francesconi will continue serving as assistant dean, while faculty member Quin Gordon and UNCSA graduate Kelly Maxner will continue serving, respectively, as director of recruitment and director of the high school program “Scott Zigler brings a rare combination of exceptional talents to our School of Drama,” Lindsay Bierman, UNCSA chancellor said in an official statement.

“He’s spent two decades running one of the country’s premier actor training pro-

grams, has built an impressive career as a director and has demonstrated a heartfelt dedication to art pedagogy and student success at one of the world’s greatest institutions. It was a coup to get him, and I have no doubt that he’ll continue to lead by example as an artist, academic and administrator at UNCSA.” UNCSA’s executive vice-chancellor and provost David English in his official statement added, that they were impressed

by Zigler’s knowledge of and passion for the theater. As well as his commitment to actor training, which involves the integration of a wide variety of pedagogical approaches.

“I passionately believe that the young theater artist should be exposed to a broad range of approaches and aesthetics,” Zigler said. “And that every artist must ultimately create her or his own unique methodology, synthesizing a broad array of influences into a unique approach that best serves the individual’s own nature, creativity, imagination and passion.”

Zigler, the co-author of “A Practical Handbook for the Actor,” published by Random House in 1986, previously served as artistic director of the Atlantic Theater Company of New York and Burlington, Vermont. He was also the executive director of its training program, the Atlantic Acting School, where he is currently a senior member of the acting faculty. He has been a lecturer in dramatic arts at Harvard since 1996.

Zigler’s illustrious career includes stints as associate professor of acting and directing at Indiana University in Bloomington and director of the apprentice/intern company at Actors Theater in Louisville, Kentucky, as well as guest teaching at the University of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, University of Louisville, Philadelphia High School for the Arts, and the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney, Australia.

An experienced hand at directing the works of David Mamet, Zigler’s extensive credits include the world premiere of

David Mamet’s The Old Neighborhood (starring Peter Riegert and Patti LuPone) on Broadway in 1997, Ghost Stories: The Shawl and Prairie du Chien at the Atlantic Theater Company, November at Center Theater Group/Mark Taper Forum, Race at Philadelphia Theater Company, Glengarry Glen Ross at the McCarter Theater, and The Cryptogram at both The Alley Theater and the Steppenwolf Theater Company.

Benjamin Hoff, who graduated the UNCSA School of Filmmaking with an M.F.A. in film composition in 2016, is the third UNCSA composer to have won a College Television Award, which he received for the score of the 2016 fourth-year student film Parchment Wings. This made him the third UNCSA composer to have won the award, which is commonly known as the Student Emmy.

In 2015, Nathan Fenwick Smith, who received his M.F.A. in 2014, won for the score of The Collection, and in 2012 alumnus Leo Hurley won for his score for Zomromcom: The Musical.

Hoff and Smith both studied with Chris Heckman, a graduate of the program and now its director. In an official statement Heckman said, “As a professor, it is very rewarding to see my students recognized with the industry’s highest honors. I am tremendously proud of Ben, and I look forward to watching him build a stellar career as a film music composer and orchestrator.”

Susan Ruskin, dean of the School of Filmmaking added that under Heckman’s expert mentorship, music composition students would continue to win prestigious awards and coveted internships.

“We offer our hearty congratulations to both Ben and Chris,” Ruskin said.

Mayra’s Everything Blueberry Jam debuts at The Claddagh Restaurant and Pub Tucked into the side street of East Parrish Avenue in High Point is The Claddagh—a small, yet cozy Irish pub owned by locals Terry and Mayra Cromer. Over two hours west in Asheville, there is another location of The Claddagh also owned and managed by the Cromers. Terry Cromer describes The Claddagh as “cheers with an Irish twist.” HowKatie Murawski ever, their well-known and alwayshopping restaurant is not the only thing that is grabbing everyone’s Editor attention.

In the kitchen of The Claddagh, Mayra Cromer is whipping up something fresh and potentially profitable: her one-of-a-kind blueberry jam. She said this jam is not just for your biscuit because it is a popular and widely used condiment at the restaurant. Terry Cromer said the jam is served to every table with their homemade scones, which he added, is an Irish tradition. Mayra’s Everything Blueberry Jam goes with their pancakes, their French toast and in their specialty blueberry martini. Mayra Cromer also makes a blueberry balsamic barbecue glaze that she uses on the pork chops. However, this sauce is not on the market just yet, she said. Mayra’s Everything Blueberry Jam consists of smashed blueberries, sugar, lemon, cinnamon, cornstarch, flour, water topped off with a zing of ginger.

Mayra Cromer said that her jam could go on almost anything, but her favorite use is eating it on pancakes. Of course, she said, she also thoroughly enjoys drinking her blueberry martini creation.

As of now, the jam sells for $6 at The Claddagh in High Point. However, both Cromers eventually want to make the jam available at both locations, and she hopes to have it in a grocery store one day. So, why does she make her almost-famous blueberry jam available to her patrons? She said it is something that she can do by herself and she hopes to make some money off selling the jams to help her mother.

“I wanted to do something for just me, and also to help my mother,” Mayra Cromer said. “It is my turn to pay back my mom. I hope to make enough money to help her retire because she is already 60 years old and still working.”

Tim Parnell has been a regular at The Claddagh for 10 years and has known the Cromers ever since they took over ownership. He said he knew the jam was something Mayra Cromer was thinking about and he eventually became one of the first taste-testers for it. He has been using Mayra’s Everything Blueberry Jam for almost three months now.

“I actually really do enjoy it,” Parnell said. “It’s refreshing and flavorful.”

He said he likes it on waffles, pancakes and Triscuits with cream cheese (which, he said, actually turns out really well). Parnell plans to try it on ice cream because he believes that will be good as well. Out of all the ways to use Mayra’s Everything Blueberry Jam, he said his favorite WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

Mayra’s “little helper” Courtney Cromer, puting the labels on Mayra’s Everything Blueberry Jam. way was to have it on waffles.

“I bought one [jar] to start out with,” he said. “But now, I have gotten three more since then.”

Terry and Mayra Cromer have lived in High Point for 20 years. He has been a part of the restaurant business since he was 14 years old and she has been in it for 25 years.

Mayra Cromer was born in San Miguel, El Salvador, but moved to the United States for a better life when she was 15 years old. She said owning a restaurant has not been easy, but it has been a more than gratifying experience for her.

Soon, The Claddagh will host an Oyster Festival on Sept. 16 all day and night from noon to 2 a.m. Terry Cromer said that there would be good seafood such as low country boil and live music to fill the day. He also said he hopes that The Claddagh could host their own Oktoberfest this year, but plans for that are in the works, he said. To purchase some of Mayra’s Everything Blueberry Jam, visit The Claddagh at 130 E. Parrish Ave. !

Eclectic soul-rock outfit returns to the Triad

tent revival is supposed to be boisterous. It’s not a quiet, introspective, monastic situation.

It’s rowdy. It’s about embracing the spirit and bringing it to the people, maybe jump-starting an electrifying conversion experience.

So, the eclectic and frequently ecstatic

JULY 12-18, 2017

North Carolina band Holy Ghost Tent Revival stay true to their name by bringing a jolting participatory energy and group fervor to their live shows.

The band was started in Greensboro in 2007 when the founding members were acting students in college. The band has since relocated to the mountains in the western part of the state, with Asheville serving as a central spot for practice. Holy Ghost Tent Revival play two area shows this month, one at the Blind Tiger in Greensboro on July 14 with Josh King and Them, and another at Muddy Creek Music Hall in the Bethania section of WinstonSalem on July 30.

I spoke with guitarist Matt Martin by phone from his home in Abingdon, Virginia (in the southwest corner of the state), about the group’s evolution over the years-- their attention to stagecraft and work on their new record, which is already recorded and set for release in 2018.

Holy Ghost Tent Revival has always been a shape-shifting outfit, with multiinstrumentalists changing hats, different singers stepping to center stage at different points. You’ll hear a clarinet, trumpet, trombone, distorted guitars, hints of New Orleans-style drumming, careful harmonies, honky-tonk vamps, flashes of hot jazz, juke joint piano and psychedelic

touches all mixed together. The end result evokes the Band and contemporary keepers of the flame like Dr. Dog. Their earlier work often featured banjo that linked the group to American traditions of acoustic music, but the band has always been about more than just roots.

They’re a soul-rock band and they don’t use the banjo in their live shows anymore.

“Our sound doesn’t really harken back to that time at all anymore,” Martin said.

“It’s full of soul and rock and loud guitars -- tastefully loud.” He qualifies that the band is “not the Sex Pistols.”

Their taste for patchwork pieces of music, rich with meter and tempo changes,

WWW.YESWEEKLY.COMW

two-step bits, dynamic shift, gospel accents and left-field transitions have been something the band has worked on over the years. They worked on this by tempering their sound and figuring out how to balance all of their diverse creative energies.

The band likes to cram a lot into a song, but they don’t want to make you dizzy or to overstuff the container.

Martin said the band tries to satisfy its own internal sense of what goes where, but they like to keep pushing in new directions.

“It’s like with every band,” Martin said.

“You either stay the same and bore yourself I suppose or you just follow your heart.”

Holy Ghost Tent Revival’s last full length, 2014’s “Right State of Mind,” was made with the help of Dr. Dog producer Bill Moriarty in Philadelphia. Martin said that Moriarty helped the band zero in on an organic cohesion in their songs.

“Our music used to be rife with metric shifts and stylistic switch-ups,” Martin said. “When we listen back to old songs there are like three tempo changes with one song. We used to love that sort of thing. [Moriarty] listened to that kind of stuff and he was like, ‘This isn’t gonna work for me. We’ve got to have a through line.’ And in that way, it sort of taught us how to write music that didn’t have jumps and starts and hiccups.”

That doesn’t mean that Holy Ghost WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

Tent Revival has turned into some modal, drone-groove outfit. They still like to dart and dash around within their songs. Take “Smoke Myself to Death” off of the 2016 Summer Jelly E.P. It’s a song that slides into surprising curlicues of retro soul-funk and Beatles-esque melodicism without giving a sense of musical whiplash.

With their background in the theater, Martin said there was always a sense of wanting to entertain a crowd. Over the years, that meant that the band has learned to include a few carefully chosen slower-paced moments for rest and contrast.

“When we were first starting out we were all-octane and fast, and full-speedahead, and somewhere along the way we were like ‘Yeah, we need to put more slow songs in there,’” Martin said. “We’re not Cannibal Corpse, but at the end of the day we want to rock out.” !

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.

STAGE IT!

Spring Theatre presents Singin’ in the Rain JR.

pring Theatre will present Singin’ in the Rain JR., opening Friday, July 21, at the Hanesbrands Theatre, 209 N. Spruce Street in Winston-Salem. Additional performances will be held July 22 and 23; Friday and Saturday performances are at 7 pm and the Sunday matinee is at 2 pm.

Tickets are $15 and can be purchased by calling the box office at (336) 747-1414 or by ordering online at http://www.rhodesartscenter.org/2379-2/.

Based on the 1952 movie of the same name, Singin’ in the Rain JR. takes place in Hollywood during the final days of silent movies. Celebrity “couple” Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are a hot item in silent films, but things aren’t quite what they seem behind the scenes.

When Lina’s high-pitched, nasal voice threatens to stop the duo’s successful transition into talking pictures, beautiful starlet Kathy Seldon is brought in to provide the voice needed for a blockbuster hit. With hilarious situations, snappy dialogue and a hit-parade score of Hollywood standards, Singin’ in the Rain JR. is a guaranteed good time for audiences of all ages.

Singin’ in the Rain JR. has been faithfully and lovingly adapted by Broadway legends Betty Comden and Adolph Green from their original award-winning screenplay, which has been dubbed the “greatest movie musical of all time.”

Songs by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed include “Good Morning,” “Make ‘em Laugh” and the ever-popular title song, certain to get toes tapping.

“I’m so excited to be producing a classic musical that will really challenge our young actors to stretch their talents as triple threats – singers, actors and tap dancers,” said Erinn Diaz, founder and artistic director of Spring Theatre, who will direct the production. “The show consists of actors ages 7 to 17, and will include musical numbers and dances that will take audiences back in time to the days of the great artists.” Spring Theatre is dedicating this production to the memory of Debbie Reynolds, who

Spider-Man reboot makes the right moves

BY MATT BRUNSON It’s remarkably easy and completely understandable to complain about superhero fatigue, until one realizes that the superheroes are the ones saving the day — and the box office.

While this summer’s other franchise pictures have been performing below expectations — regardless of whether they’re good (Alien: Covenant), bad (Transformers: The Last Knight) or just downright ugly (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales) — it’s the efforts from the cinematic branches of Marvel and DC that have prevented this movie season from being a total washout. More importantly, in terms of quality, both Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and especially Wonder Woman have proven to be among the few bright spots — and now here comes Spider-Man: Homecoming ( ) to further strengthen the argument.

The best Spider-Flick since 2004’s Spider-Man 2, this one finds Tom Holland justifying the goodwill generated by his supporting stint in last year’s Captain

America: Civil War. As the new Peter Parker/Spider-Man, he’s an utter delight, emerging as less cocky than Andrew Garfield and even more self-effacing than Tobey Maguire. For that, credit not only Holland but also director Jon Watts and a sextet of scripters (including Watts), who collectively serve up an interpretation of the web-slinger that capitalizes on the character’s teenage roots. Wisely, the origin story isn’t replayed for the umpteenth time — yup, the kid was bitten by a radioactive spider; let’s move on! — allowing for more time to focus on Peter as he faces the horrors of high school life when he’s not facing real-world horrors. In fact, much of the charm of Spider-Man: Homecoming is how it adheres closer to vintage John Hughes than trademark Stan Lee, with many of the brightest moments centering around Peter’s taxing school days.

Still, it’s hard for our friendly neighborhood hero to concentrate on chemistry classes when there are villains out there to vanquish. Anxious to tackle the bad guys — but kept in a holding pattern by

mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Stark’s right-hand man Happy (Jon Favreau) — Peter finally strikes out on his own when he gets wind of the dastardly maneuverings of one Adrian Toomes, aka The Vulture. As Toomes, Michael Keaton is excellent, showing us two sides of a complicated individual who allowed the big, bad world to corrode his soul.

The final battle royale gets too convoluted and continues for too long (a problem also in GotGV2 and WW), and my pet peeve of two people in a city of 8.5 million coincidentally turning out to be related receives a major workout here. Then there’s Tony Stark/Iron Man, whose “guest appearance” occasionally feels more like a crutch — it’s not unlike, say, Henry Winkler’s Fonz from Happy Days and Penny Marshall’s Laverne from Laverne & Shirley both turning up in the pilot episode of Mork & Mindy to give the fledgling show a blessing and a boost. But these carps are ultimately mere asides. In most respects, Spider-Man: Homecoming swings and scores. !

Hued by a dude: J.J.’s story

J

.J. Lossman is like every other 9-yearold. He loves the show, The Backyardigans, he loves to run around half-naked, and he loves going to the beach and swimKatie Murawski ming. However, there is something that sets him apart from Editor the others: J.J. is an artist--an artist who has already sold 78 pieces of his original works.

J.J. was diagnosed with severe autism when he was 2 years old but his parents, Ramie and Kenny Lossman knew early on around when he was 6 months old that “something was not right.”

“We started occupational therapy, speech therapy, ABA therapy and play therapy when he was 1 year old,” Ramie Lossman said. “We started a year earlier than normal, I would say. We went to ABC of NC for two years which taught him a lot of self-control--he used to be a runner, and they focused in on that and got him to hold my hand now when we go in public, which is amazing.”

The parents said they did not go through the denial stage, as most parents do when they discover their child has autism. They were aware of the red flags such as, J.J. not making any eye contact and how he never felt pain. The Lossmans agreed that they both handled the news rather well. Their son has been in speech therapy for eight years, and he is still completely nonverbal. On top of that, Ramie Lossman said, he has speech apraxia.

According to the American-SpeechLanguage-Hearing Association’s website, childhood apraxia of speech is motor speech disorder in which, “children have problems saying sounds, syllables, and words. The child knows what they want to say, but their brains have difficulty coor-

J.J. Lossman smiling in “his happy place,” as his mother would remark, while on a kayak during his family’s vacation in Beaufort. dinating the muscle movements necessary to say the words. For instance, Ramie Lossman said when he says “please” it comes out more like “ease.”

However, this doesn’t stop J.J. from expressing himself. With a canvas, acrylic paints (of many assorted colors, of course) and usually anything but a paint brush, J.J. creates paintings that call to mind the works of famous abstract expressionists such as Elaine de Kooning and Jackson Pollock.

He doesn’t use paint brushes, Ramie Lossman said, he uses Barbie doll heads, cars, little figurines, pool toys, sponges, or whatever he can find lying around. Very rarely is it a paint brush though, she said.

Ramie Lossman said J.J. started painting when he was 3 years old because of a teacher that got him to use painting to

express his feelings and ever since, J.J. has been painting daily. Kenny Lossman said his son paints anywhere from three to six paintings each night. He said the cost of J.J.’s painting supplies are very expensive, but he assures that comes out of their pockets and not J.J.’s funds.

“He paints about his day, how he is feeling and if he has had a bad day you can tell it from his pictures,” Ramie Lossman said.

“We think his choice of color is based on his mood,” Kenny Lossman said.

“The heavier and darker the paint means he is having, we think, a bad day,” Ramie Lossman said. “The brighter the colors usually means he has had a good day.”

Kenny Lossman said he feels bad because he finds that the paintings J.J. does

on his bad days are the most appealing to him.

“On those days he does black and blues, and those are my favorite colored ones that he’s done,” Kenny Lossman said. “So I feel bad that some of the best ones are probably a product of a bad day.”

Kenny and Ramie Lossman both describe J.J.’s art as “very, very abstract” and said it is clear to see his progression and improvement throughout the years.

“What I see in something may not be what you see in something, or it may not have been what he intended to paint about,” Ramie Lossman said. “My dad will look at stuff and say that is totally a volcano with dragon wrapping around it and I am just like ‘no, dad that is a flower.’”

Ramie and Kenny Lossman said their whole house is full of J.J.’s canvases as well as Ramie’s parent’s house.

About three weeks ago, Ramie and Kenny Lossman started up a website they cleverly call, Hued by a Dude J.J., where they post photographs of his canvases and make them available for purchase upon donation only. The money raised from this art fundraiser goes directly to J.J. for his treatment costs. Lossman said donations are up to the person interested, but she has suggested amounts of $25 and up.

“We decided that he needed a service dog to help with aggressive because he tends to self-harm, which is typical for his age,” Ramie Lossman said. “He bites and hits his head--we were told a service dog would prevent that and step in between him and his fist and calm him down which is what he needs.”

“I think when we decided we wanted to get a service dog, which is very expensive, we just spontaneously said ‘well, why don’t we do a fundraiser, ’ and the paintings were perfect,” Kenny Lossman said.

On July 8, after only being posted on her Facebook for three minutes, Ramie Lossman said a painting of his sold for a $125 donation. On July 10, Ramie Lossman said she received $250 for a 12x12 canvas,

WWW.YESWEEKLY.COMW

from someone in Kansas, which is as of now is the largest donation J.J. has gotten.

There are 17 or fewer available paintings on his website, as of today.

“A lot of people will do spaghetti dinners or sell T-shirts, and I am like ‘he is going to paint every day anyway and they are pretty amazing,’ well, we think they are pretty amazing,” Ramie Lossman said. “[The website] has skyrocketed, we are shipping paintings out to places like Texas, Tennessee, Florida, Missouri, Georgia and Kansas.”

Even though the Lossmans do not have an exact tally now, Ramie Lossman said she thinks they have easily raised a quarter of the cost of a service dog.

“Which is insane since we just started selling them not even three weeks ago,” Ramie Lossman said. “I kind of feel bad, I hope people aren’t just buying them to donate money. I think people like them.

I have had people say, ‘well if this one is sold can you go back and get it from them we’ll give you so much money.”

“There are just so many that I wish

WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

would not sell,” Kenny Lossman said.

“Because I want them for my office.”

Large donations for his works of art is not the only attention this young artist has been receiving. On July 8, local architect Charles Gillon asked the Lossmans if he could digitally add J.J.’s paintings inside his modern home designs on his website.

These are virtual and will list his website as the location to buy the modern art, Ramie Lossman said. She said there was also an art gallery in Winston-Salem that wanted to display J.J.’s work. However, due to J.J.’s severe autism, he would not be able to handle the crowd and noise of an exhibition.

J.J.’s parents both work to support their family and J.J.’s treatment. While both parents are working, Ramie Lossman’s sister Daphine Spillman is the Lossmans’ live-in nanny for J.J. Ramie started to tear up talking about how if something would happen to her, that her sister would step in and care for J.J. the way she would her to.

“J.J. has this sparkle in his eyes bursting

with excitement, curiosity, and an eagerness to learn and share,” Spillman wrote in a text message. “Being Autistic and nonverbal, he has great days, good days and some not so good days. It is sometimes difficult for him to fully express to us what he thinks, feels and wants us to know. I feel he gets to express himself and some of his feelings through his amazing art, his songs, and awesome dances. To me, he is perfect, and I couldn’t imagine him any other way.”

As for the future, the Lossmans said that he may always be nonverbal and they both see J.J. living with them for the rest of their lives.

“We are totally OK with that,” Ramie Lossman said.

The Lossmans believe that J.J. will carry on with his art, not only because he likes it so much, but also because it is his only way to communicate with his family.

“He knows that we enjoy it too,” Ramie

Lossman said. “He can only get better.”

“Yeah I would not say that five years is not just a phase,” Kenny Lossman said.

To parents whose children have an autism spectrum disorder, diagnosed or undiagnosed, the Lossmans urge them to skip over the denial stage and start looking for the red flags around six months.

“To us, he is perfect,” Kenny Lossman said. “I do not know if I would take it away from him if I could because I might be taking away things that truly make him extraordinary--like maybe the art or his memory.”

Ramie Lossman recommends parents of children with autism to read the poem “Welcome to Holland” by Emily Perl Kingsley.

Have fish tables caught their limit?

BY IAN MCDOWELL My April 18 YES! Weekly feature “Checking Out Fish Tables in Greensboro” was the first many readers had heard of the “Fish Game” arcades popping up across the Triad, usually in strip mall storefronts previously offering now-outlawed sweepstakes gambling. These fish parlors were often advertised only by cheap banners.

On May 1, an atypically large and brightly lit one opened in its building at 2007 Randleman Road, with flashing neon announcing the “Fish Palace Arcade” inside.

Whether because of publicity, or the multiple robberies, the Greensboro Police issued the following statement on June 12: “Local law enforcement agencies are cracking down on businesses that operate ‘fish games,’ large scale table-mounted video games that pay cash rewards to players. Per North Carolina law, ‘any machine which, for the payment of money, is operated in such a way that the operator receives a cash payout of any kind, irrespective of whether the game requires skill or dexterity’ is prohibited.”

Shortly after that press release, representatives from the Greensboro Police Department hand-delivered letters to 37 known “fish parlors,” informing them that they had 30 days to comply with the law or face criminal action. Greensboro Police Chief Wayne Scott explained that they were offering a grace period because many business owners were unaware their games were illegal. Most, Chief Scott explained, were not “the criminal type,” but legitimate entrepreneurs “who went through proper channels for licensing.”

He also announced similar operations by the High Point Police Department and the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office.

Although the crackdown focused on the games, the announcement concluded by warning that, “almost any form of an electronic game that requires a customer to ‘pay to play’ and that pay the winner in cash or a money equivalent, may violate the law and subject them to a criminal penalty.”

I reached back out to “Vlad,” my anonymous source (whom I’d previously interviewed for the April article) and the pit boss at a Fish Tables arcade off Gate City Boulevard. When we last spoke, his establishment had been recently robbed by what he called “a very professional three-man crew, ski masks, glocks, shotgun--they knew what they were doing, and hit two other places after us.”

He said they had robbed again on June

Greensboros newest ‘fish parlor’ is larger and more visible from the road than its counterparts.

12, and a couple of days later a competitor on Market Street, Vlad said, were held up “at 9 a.m. by some cracker with a deer rifle.”

Vlad says it all ends this Friday, July 14 when every such establishment in Guilford County will close at the end of the shift.

“The cops and city were okay with us for a while,” Vlad said. “But we made too much money, all cash, which attracts the wrong kind of people, the ones that prey on those who play. And I don’t just mean those that come through the door with guns.”

His establishment was allegedly robbed twice by gunmen, it was allegedly broken into once, and it was allegedly robbed once by the boyfriend of a former staff member (who, Vlad said, walked in and allegedly took over $900 out of a machine while customers were playing it).

“That particular cabinet wasn’t designed with padlock capability,” Vlad said.

“It was key in, key out, and he had a key and knew where the cash was.”

On his phone, he showed me some video frames of a tall, skinny, white guy in a baseball cap taking money out of the console.

“Too many places were vulnerable to

robberies set up by former employees,” Vlad said. “They know where the money is in the machine, and where the key to the machine is kept. All too often, it’s not in a safe.”

In this case, the coffee machine was Vlad’s hiding place. He recalled an instance where a woman, who he claims used to work at the Market Street Place and then eventually for him, allegedly stole money from a game.

“She was a single mom with a meth habit and a juicy ass, with which she persuaded this young, dumb Asian Ricky to do a little job for her,” Vlad said. “I’m sure she told him it was easy money, just go in and get the key from the coffee machine and there will be $5,500 in the Fish Machine.”

But Vlad’s boss had been tipped off, and in turn, tipped off the cops, who were waiting for the kid when he came in.

“The woman who had ass conned him into doing this was waiting in the getaway car outside, and they both had meth on them,” Vlad said. “So, they’re going away for a while.”

Vlad said the scariest moment was the first time they were allegedly robbed, the night of the Carolina game.

“Having a gun pointed at you by three

guys who want money, that’s scary enough,” Vlad said. “But I knew they weren’t out to kill anybody; what worried me was thinking how I was going to handle a couple of people who came into play and who looked like they were going to be trouble. Also one of my coworkers who came in smoked out on meth, and made so much drama. Frankly, I’ll be glad to be done with that shit.”

But he doesn’t think Greensboro is finished with Fish Tables.

“For now, it will just go outside Guilford County,” he said. “But when it comes back, and it will, it will be because they can regulate it, and get the amusement license fees for establishments.”

Vlad said the gaming industry would get more innovative and creative in how they deal with the money. For instance, he said that they’d probably use debit card swipers on the machines. Or give out play money in exchange for credit or get gift certificates that can be cashed out.

“The gaming industry is only going to get stronger and stronger,” he said.

“The more difficult you make it, the more money will go into circumventing those difficulties. And there will be something else in a few months.” !

The ‘food truck of books’ makes its rounds

BY IAN MCDOWELL “When you sell a man a book you don’t sell just 12 ounces of paper and ink and glue - you sell him a whole new life. Love and friendship and humor and ships at sea by night - there’s all heaven and earth in a book, a real book.”

That quote is from Parnassus on Wheels, Christopher Morley’s eccentric and delightful 1917 novel about a 39-year old New England woman who leaves her farm and takes to the open road with a horse-drawn book wagon. It’s one on my favorite books about books, and Diarra “Crckt” Leggett (whose nickname is pronounced “Cricket”) is the only person I know who has read it. Leggett has another quote from it, “Books, the truest friends of man, fill this rolling caravan,” wheat-pasted above the windshield inside his mobile bookstore, Boomerang Bookshop: Nomad Chapter.

The last time I saw Leggett, he was working for an hourly wage at Empire Books on Spring Garden. Today, when he sells me a lovely hardcover edition of Rudyard Kipling’s “Just-So Stories,” all the money goes to him and his wife Elizabeth, who isn’t in the comfortably air-conditioned short bus on a sweltering Sunday afternoon, but rather his partner in the new business.

“That was a childhood dream of mine,” he said. “I’ve sold books for the better part of 16 years, so I guess I’ve been a bookseller all that time. It feels good to have it say that on a business card that is something that I have built though, for sure.”

Leggett, who is also a library assistant in Kernersville, inherited his love of books from his mother, who worked for 30 years as a librarian in Winston-Salem. When he and Elizabeth moved to Chicago in 2001, he got a job as a bike messenger, delivering special orders for the now-defunct Brent Books and Cards.

“Once they caught on that I was a literate pack mule, I started pulling shifts in the store,” Leggett said. “After that, I ended up back in Greensboro, and at Edward McKay for few years. From there, I worked for a now-defunct, pop-up remainder bookselling business, Giant Book Sale.”

Leggett said after Shane, the original owner of Empire Books, died his business partner Mark Wingfield was keen to move the store from Quaker Village to Spring Garden. Leggett helped and stayed on afterward.

“Mark and I, although still great WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

friends, weren’t able to continue working as a duo (namely because my dear friend was a cheapskate), but when he was ready to sell, he suggested hiring me to the buyer,” Leggett said.

“I worked under the new owner for two years before we parted ways, and now I making a go at it for myself.”

At first, he thought about a brick and mortar store. He said that Wingfield’s successor was eager to get out of the book business as well and that Leggett had aspirations to purchase it from Wingfield.

“But, upon closer consideration, I realDiarra “Crckt” Leggett inside his truck. ized that would prove detrimental to our family,” “On a lark, I typed the word ‘bookmoLeggett said. “Elizabeth offhandedly sugbile’ into Craigslist and, lo and behold, gested, while I was lamenting this missed there was one in Greensboro,” Leggett opportunity, that I start ‘a food truck, but said. “I did the decoupage of book pages for books.’ The idea seemed crazy enough on the ceiling myself.

since last fall, but the Nomad Chapter has only been a working entity for roughly three months. Leggett said he did not spend much time debating the new adventure.

“Not after we found the bus,” Leggett said. “The way I see it, my overhead is much less than a brick and mortar store, and in the event of outright failure (which I have to be prepared for the possibility of). I can sell, or worst case scenario, live in the vehicle.”

Leggett said people react differently when they first enter the bus with Mad Max’s sidekick the Feral Kid and the words, “Boomerang Bookshop: Nomad” painted on it.

“I hear a lot of ‘I’ve never seen anything like this! This is a really great idea,’” Leggett said. “At which point I have to admit that the idea was Elizabeth’s.”

As a bookseller, Leggett said that his favorite experience is when people find the exact book they are looking for.

“I’m a man of simple pleasures,” Leggett said. “Every time I hear someone excitedly exclaim, ‘Yes!’ because they found just what they were after, is my favorite experience selling books.”

Boomerang Bookshop: Nomad Chapter can be found at the Corner Farmer’s Market in the Lindley Park neighborhood on Saturday mornings and the Grove Street People’s Market in Glenwood on Thursday afternoons.

[HOROSCOPES]

[CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Drive and handle tools carefully this week.

Your reflexes may be off center. Exercise judiciously. Listen to your body. You are likely to be edgy and irritable, thus making an accident of some kind more likely. As the week moves onward, you will feel better. Step aside from battles over ego or power. That is a poor use of your energy.

[LEO (July 23 to August 22) This is not the time to seek favors or special requests from the Powers That Be. And you are not likely to be long on lenience if someone requests help or a donation from you. Your attitude is practical and straightforward. He or she who asks had best truly deserve the requested gain or privilege.

[VIRGO (August 23 to September 22)

Vesta, goddess of devotion to the flame (spirit), enters your sign this week and will be with you through mid-September.

She was one of the Vestal Virgins, whose assignment was to attend to the sacred fire. This represents a new development that requires your full attention.

You may become the vessel of spiritual

sustenance for one or more others during these weeks.

[LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your optimistic and happy attitude causes others to join your bandwagon and support your projects. You can envision a grand result and are able to express it in a way that others can understand. Let your imagination flow and consider adding something beautiful, maybe inspirational, to your everyday surroundings. It will perk up your attitude.

[SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your warrior self is front and center during this period. The best use of this energy is on behalf of the Greater Good or another person who needs a champion. Use that energy with thoughtful intentionality. Your reflexes may be off kilter. Ground your adrenalin with heavy exercise.

[SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) This week an opportunity to expand your social life brings smiles.

You may be invited to a party or you might meet someone new. This aspect is

from Venus, goddess of love and creativity. The muse may be at your side as you produce a particularly creative idea or solution to a problem. Partners and clientele are verbally appreciative.

[CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Life continues at a snail’s pace due to one detour or another. People seem generally uncooperative and it is possible that forward motion is thwarted by mechanical breakdowns or even the weather. Aspects become less troublesome next week. Everyone has a week like this sometimes.

[AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Read the lead paragraph carefully.

You may be encountering one or more people this week who have a war-like attitude. Don’t engage with them at all. Don’t allow others to drag out your defensive side. Ignore the ongoing yada, yada of the Inner Critic. It exaggerates and sometimes lies outright.

[PISCES (February 19 to March 20) This week brings an assorted list of trials and tribulations. Speak and act with conscious intention around family members. You may feel short-tempered and snap at others. It is possible that communications could go awry. Don’t allow a misperception to ruin a day. Discuss it immediately, if possible.

[ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Plan to work and play alone this week. You likely will be feeling restless and generally tense. Your patience could be short and you might say things you’ll wish you hadn’t. You have a desire to break free from restraints. It is a short transit. Look for a way to handle this moderately.

Heavy work around the home is a good outlet.

[TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Under your placid exterior lies a layer of desire which may or may not get you in trouble.

It depends upon how you manage this energy. Make an effort to avoid mowing over others. Your drive is best used for protection of those less capable than yourself.

[GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It is possible you will feel a sense of fatigue this week. Maybe something has caused you to be disappointed with yourself. Don’t take the blues seriously or worry about yourself. In a few days you will feel much better. It is a temporary mood swing.

Get some extra rest. Stay in touch with good friends.

[THE ADVICE GODDESS] love • sex • dating • marriage • questions

JACK AND JILTED

My boyfriend of three years cheated on me, and when I found out, he dumped me. I’m getting over it, but boy, it’s a slow process. Some Amy Alkon days, I’m fine, and others, I feel super sad or really angry.

Advice Is there some way Goddess I can speed up my recovery so I can get on with my life? — Wasted Enough Time

You wish him all the best, which is to say you hope a giant scorpion crawls out of the sand and bites his penis.

It’s understandable that you’re feeling overdue for a little emotional fumigation. But consider that there’s an upside to the downer emotions and not just for the dry cleaner who’s about to buy Crete after getting the mascara stains out of all your clothes.

Though we tend to see our gloomier emotions — like sadness and anger — as “bad” and the “whoopee!” emotions, like joy and happiness, as “good,” evolutionary psychologist and psychiatrist Randolph Nesse explains that emotions are neither good nor bad; they’re “adaptive.” They’re basically office managers for our behavior, directing us to hop on opportunities and avoid threats through how good or crappy particular things make us feel. As Nesse puts it, “People repeat actions that made them feel happy in the past, and they avoid actions that made them sad.”

Nesse believes that sadness may, among other things, be evolution’s version of a timeout. Note that a term psych researchers use to describe sadness is “low mood” (though it would more helpfully be called “low-energy mood”). Sadness, like depression, slows you down; you repair to your couch to boohoo, lick your wounds, and seek comfort from the two men so many women turn to in times of despair, Ben & Jerry.

And yes, there’s value in this sort of ice cream-fueled Kleenexapalooza. Being sad is telling you “don’t do that again!”

— while giving you the time and emotional space to figure out what exactly you’re supposed to not do.

Because your emotions have a job to do, you can’t just tell sadness and anger, “You’re no longer wanted here. Kindly show yourselves out.” They’ll go when WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

you show them that they’re no longer needed, which you do by reprocessing your painful experience into something useful. Unfortunately, there are some challenges to this, because when you’re upset, your emotions and all the things you’re emotional about become a big tornado of stuff whirling around in your mind “Wizard of Oz”-style.

But what do we humans understand really well? Stories. And it turns out, studies on coping with breakups by communications researcher Jody Koenig Kellas find that creating a story about the relationship and the breakup seems to help people adjust better and faster. Essential elements in this seem to be relating your complete story in a “sequential” way (in order), having a narrative that hangs together and makes sense, and illustrating it with examples of things that happened and giving possible reasons for them.

The need to mentally organize what happened into a detailed and coherent story pushes you to reflect on and make sense of your experience in ways that less directed thinking does not. What seems especially important for moving on is making meaning out of the situation — turning the ordeal into a learning experience that gives you hope for living more wisely (and less painfully) in the future.

Kellas’ results dovetail with decades of research by psychologist James Pennebaker, who finds that “expressive writing” (similar to what Kellas recommends) speeds people’s recovery from emotional trauma. But say you hate to write. Research by social psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky finds that recording your story (say, with the voice memo app on your phone) also works. You could also just tell the story to a friend or a homeless guy at a bus stop. (Give him a few bucks for lending an ear.)

Finally, consider the difference between healthy storytelling, used to find meaning in what you went through so you can move on, and unhealthy “rumination” — obsessively chewing and rechewing bits from your relationship without insight, solutions, or relief. Psychologist Susan Nolen-Hoeksema finds that this builds “a case for hopelessness,” prolonging distress and recovery.

A powerful way to unbuild a case for hopelessness is by recognizing that you have some control over what happens to you. You get to this sense through accountability — admitting that you have some responsibility for your present situation (perhaps by ignoring red flags and

letting wishful thinking run the show).

Sure, blaming someone else probably feels more gratifying in the moment.

Unfortunately, this tends to lead to insights with limited utility — such as the revelation that Cheerios, oddly enough, do not actually cheer you up (not even when paired with a lactose-free milk substitute such as Jim Beam). !
