[LOCAL TALENT] CHRIS HATHCOCK-MUSICIAN

BY KATIE MURAWSKI

Chris Hatchcock was the Y!W Triad’s Best winner of Best Songwriter, Best Bassist, Best Guitarist, Best Percussionist, Best Musician in the Triad and his band, The Reticent was named the Best Live Triad Music Show of 2016. Hatchcock is also the band director at Charles E. Jordan High School in Durham and an advocate for suicide prevention awareness. The Reticent started off as Hatchcock’s side project and became a repository of realized ideas and outlet for emotions he did not know how to handle and since has become his only project composed solely of himself.

“The name The Reticent came from that idea,” he said. “Reticent means something that you withhold, or are silent about.”

In 2002, his friend Eve, who inspired his recent album On the Eve of Goodbye, decided to take her own life. In her memory and as a part of his activism, he has

played at various fundraising events for organizations and events, such as To Write Love On Her Arms and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

“I encouraged artists to talk about any experiences they have had to just try to encourage dialogue in those settings,” he said.

“I have found that lots of people are receptive to that, they want to talk-- especially when they see someone be open and forward about it.”

Hatchcock hopes to be a listening and supportive ear for his students who feel like they need to talk about their feelings or suicidal tendencies. He is planning on returning to graduate school to get his Ph.D. in musical education and his thesis will explain how music education can help with suicide prevention.

EAT IT!

Cool Summer: Six healthy smoothie recipes

BY KRISTI MAIER | @triadfoodies

T

he official first day of summer is upon us and if you’re like me, despite all the good intentions, that “bikini bod” is still just out of reach. (It’s more important to love the skin you’re in, isn’t it?) This doesn’t mean you can’t take advantage of these warmer temperatures and the abundant, available fruit and veggies for healthy meals.

The Triad Foodies food and drink section of YES! will be weaving in some make-at-home meals that come together relatively easy in upcoming issues.

Some of these recipes will be from yours truly and some from chefs or contributors. More specifically this week, we’re making smoothies and smoothie bowls.

They are healthy, vibrant and delicious packed with vitamins, protein and fiber.

A typical smoothie needs several things to be perfect. A liquid base, a filler such as, fresh fruit or nut butter and usually something frozen like ice or frozen fruit,.

Many people don’t realize that some veggies make incredible ingredients in a smoothie or smoothie bowl and we don’t just mean kale or spinach. Cauliflower?

Zucchini? Butternut Squash? All are great in smoothies. We amp up the fiber with frozen veggies and, if done correctly, you shouldn’t need ice at all. The recipes you’ll see here are very adaptable, so feel free to get creative and play with your own ingredients. I personally, never make a smoothie without protein powder, so you’ll see that added here. My very basic vanilla whey protein powder adds a slight sweetness and creaminess.

You’ll get the same with just about any vanilla flavored protein powder on the DWSP_Music17_YesWeekly_6-17-17.pdf 1 market, depending how good it is. We recommend Isopure, which is $30 to $40

and found online or Body Fortress, which is $17 at most retailers. You can add any vegetarian protein, egg white or collagen; add adaptogens or vitamins and even chia or flax seeds for energy and wellness boosts. And the toppings? Just go crazy.

You know what you like.

Interested in a smoothie bowl? The method is nearly the same, you just cut back on the liquid by at least half and keep the rest of the ingredients frozen or use a nut butter. You’ll want it to be almost the consistency of ice cream.

Depending on your blender, it will take some trial and error to get the perfect consistency for you. Again, these recipes are meant to inspire you.

Ultimately, it’s fun to play with your ingredients and let your creativity shine.

Strawberry Lemonade Smoothie One of my favorite go-to smoothies in the summertime or anytime is this slightly tart and refreshing smoothie. It’s great post-workout or on hot day.

1 container Siggi’s Vanilla Yogurt (this is an Icelandic yogurt that’s lower in sugar than most but high in protein) 1/2 cup of lemonade or strawberry lemonade 1/2 cup frozen strawberries Scoop protein powder Top with hemp seeds or whatever you choose or nothing at all.

“Cereal Killer” Smoothie a.k.a Acai Blueberry Pear Smoothie 1/2 cup milk or your choice of liquid 1 sleeve frozen Acai (found in most grocery stores) 1 cup fresh blueberries 1/2 very ripe pear or apple or banana Scoop protein powder Top with your choice of fruity cereal. I

Strawberry Banana Cauliflower Smoothie Bowl 1/4 cup your choice of milk 1/2 frozen banana 1/2 cup frozen strawberries 1/4-1/2 cup frozen cauliflower 1 scoop protein powder Top with Siggis or Greek yogurt, then top with ancient grains, chia, blueberries, sliced banana, cashew butter and a drizzle of your favorite honey

SWEET POTATO

topped with local granola, Gorilla Grains, and Trix because they no longer have dye in them and it was almost too pretty to eat.

Blueberry Kale Smoothie Bowl This smoothie bowl is the color of the deep Atlantic where it’s the deepest bluegreen and full of nutrients.

1/4 cup milk or your choice of liquid 1/2 avocado 1/2 frozen banana 1 cup frozen blueberries Big handfuls of kale or spinach (eyeball it) Keep blending and adding the greens until it is goes from purple to blue to deep blue-green 1 scoop of protein powder Top with fresh fruit or coconut, granola and your choice of nut butter

DOG FRIENDLY

DOGS WELCOME

There’s this ancient seed blend I love from Trader Joe’s that is so fun for topping. It’s great on this smoothie bowl.

This bowl tastes a bit more earthy but it’s packed with nutrients.

Blueberry Cauliflower Smoothie Bowl We’ve added fiber here with cauliflower, keeping it a lower sugar option that’s pretty close to Keto. Use just a handful of frozen cauliflower (We promise, you won’t taste it). You can steam it first if you want (it aids in digestion but I don’t bother to do it).

1/4 cup milk or your choice of liquid 14 cup coconut butter 1/2 cup frozen blueberries 1/2 avocado Blend and top with nut butter and fresh fruit or coconut or granola

Sweet Potato Smoothie Feel free to make this smoothie warm because it tastes like sweet potato pie.

You can use butternut squash or canned pumpkin if that’s what you have on hand.

1/2 cup warm sweet potato (or orange squash) 1/2 cup milk or liquid of your choice 1 scoop protein powder Pumpkin spice season or cinnamon to taste Top with whatever you choose. Seen here: coconut yogurt, cashews, pecans, coconut and cacao nibs.

Cherry Almond Smoothie Bowl 1/4 cup liquid of your choice (vanilla almond or cashew milk preferred in this recipe) 1/4 cup almond butter 1/2 cup frozen cherries 1 scoop protein powder Blend and top with frozen cherries and a drizzle of more almond butter Got a question about these smoothies and where to find the ingredients?

Contest winners design apps for smarter NC cities

F

BY MIA OSBORN

lying cars may still be out of reach, but winners of a recent app design contest have built applications to increase the ease and efficiency of daily life in the future.

Thanks to finalists in the U.S. Ignite Reverse Pitch Contest, locals may soon be able to hold business meetings in virtual reality, find parking spots at the tap of a smartphone screen and enjoy safer intersections.

The Reverse Pitch Contest called on residents of Greensboro and other North Carolina cities to design appbased solutions for life in a modern smart city. The contest stemmed from a private- public partnership meant to encourage the development of technology that makes use of gigabit speed internet. All the ideas presented harnessed the speed and low latency of gigabit internet to solve problems faced by modern cities more efficient, convenient and safe.

Applications were called for at a kickoff event in February, which was simulcast to sister events in Raleigh and Charlotte. In April, 10 finalist teams were selected from that pool of applicants to take part in a month long boot camp where they received expert help to flesh out their idea and craft their pitches. Final pitches were made on June 14 at HQ Greensboro. Judges included potential investors and members of sponsor groups U.S. Ignite, IBM, North State, the North Carolina National Gigabit Network and the North Carolina Regional Internet of Things.

All three winning teams were awarded $120,000 in Bluemix Cloud credits. In addition, the two first place winners each received $19,000 to help their idea grow.

The winning pitches were: Drop Park, an app that makes it easy to find parking in crowded areas; PanoVR, a collaborative virtual reality experience; and Smart City Intersections, which records data about the safety of various intersections and works with GPS to help drivers plan their best route.

Drop Park CEO Mahdi Inaya calls his team’s first place winning design, “Airbnb for parking.” It’s designed to reduce the frustrations of hunting for downtown parking spots. The system uses a combination of car-detecting sensors placed on parking spaces to keep users informed of which spots are open and how much they can expect

to pay for each. It even lets the owners of private spaces rent out their spot for a price of their choosing. Inaya believes the concept could reduce some downtown traffic by as much as 30%.

“We started at NC State University,” Inaya said. “We’re a group of engineers from the Product Innovation Lab. After the semester ended, we got this chance to push the project a little bit further.”

Judges had initial concerns about the personal privacy of Drop Park users, but Inaya pointed out that the parking sensors only note the presence of a vehicle, without gathering any additional information such as models or licence plate numbers. Inaya is grateful for his team’s win and can’t wait to take the next steps of preparing the app for public use.

“I’m very excited, very ecstatic, and ready to get this pilot study off the ground,” he said.

PanoVR takes advantage of gigabit speeds to build a 360-degree virtual reality experience that can be shared

by a group. PanoVR goes beyond other virtual reality app ideas by introducing live annotations. Participants can “draw” on the surface of the virtual world, or leave voice recordings in certain spots for others to hear later. Team leader Regis Kopper, Ph.D., a professor at Duke University, wanted a use for virtual reality that went beyond entertainment.

“We thought there was a real opportunity with virtual reality,” Kopper said. “It’s on the verge of becoming a commodity of technology. You go to Youtube and you see 360-degree videos and podcasts everywhere. I thought, ‘why don’t we do something with these videos that you can actually use for productivity or education?’”

Smart City Intersections is a concept that warns drivers when a dangerous intersection is coming up and presents alternate routes. These warnings can be accessed through the driver’s phone, and eventually on dynamic road signs. The app is also built to be compatible with the interactive dashboards of smart cars, which will likely have an increased presence on roads in the years to come.

All three winners will spend the summer building their pitches into reality. Inaya plans to use the Drop Park prize money to test the prototype car sensors at an upcoming event, possibly the state fair. PanoVR will focus on getting the infrastructure needed to put their technology in the hands and headsets of everyday users. Smart City Intersections, meanwhile, will start using their app to gather data at one local intersection. These small steps are poised to lead Triad residents down a path to the future.

“Nobody walks away a loser tonight,” contest developer Joel Bennett of New City Ventures, said. “These guys are all winners. They’ve all done great jobs.” !

The Gatekeeper celebrates a real-life American Heroine

BY MARK BURGER

I SM TH

WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

KA TH R YN

The Gatekeeper: Missy LeHand, FDR, And The Untold Story Of The Partnership That Defined A Presidency by Kathryn Smith.

Published by Touchstone. 368 pages. $16.99 retail.

Until now, Marguerite Alice “Missy” LeHand (1896-1944) has been something of an enigmatic and ill-defined historical personality, standing as she did in the shadow of Franklin Roosevelt, arguably the most important American politician of the 20th century and at a pivotal period in world history that encompassed both the Great Depression and World War II. That situation has been completely rectified with the publication of The Gatekeeper, an assiduously researched and eminently readable biography of LeHand by Kathryn Smith, author of the nonfiction World War II oral history A Necessary War. Thanks to Smith, LeHand’s proper place in history has been appropriately recognized.

During Roosevelt’s presidency, LeHand functioned essentially as White House chief of staff, the first woman to do so.

The author is currently on a promotional tour for The Gatekeeper, which has already (and deservedly) received high praise from reviewers. Smith will appear at readings and book signings at Main Street Books in Davidson on June 27, at Page 158 Books in Wake Forest on June 28, and Scuppernong Books in Greensboro on June 29.

LeHand’s brief but remarkable life, which is conveyed in extremely detailed terms in The Gatekeeper, has been described by some as a “consort” to Roosevelt and by others, more memorably, as “the Swiss Army Knife of the White House.” To get to FDR, one had to get through Missy first – and she was a most protective “gatekeeper.”

Loyal and diligent, yet unafraid to speak her mind. LeHand was clearly a trusted friend and adviser, but was she romantically linked to FDR? Elliott Roosevelt certainly stated as much in his memoir, and the 2012 film Hyde Park on Hudson (in

which Elizabeth Marvel played Missy) hinted strongly in that direction.

Smith, however, disputes that assertion.

She doesn’t eliminate the possibility, but offers a persuasive case against. This does not mean, however, that FDR didn’t have extramarital relationships. Indeed, LeHand enjoyed the trust of both Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, sometimes acting as a go-between when the two weren’t on the best of terms.

The unmarried LeHand enjoyed romantic relationships with Earl Miller, a (muchyounger) police officer and one of FDR’s bodyguards when he was governor of New York, and with Bill Bullitt, the first American ambassador to the Soviet Union (1933 to 1936) and then ambassador to France (1936 to 1940), although she and Bullitt broke things off shortly before Bullitt and Roosevelt had a falling-out.

Born in upstate New York in 1896, LeHand first crossed paths with FDR when she worked on his vice-presidential campaign in 1920, in which he ran with James M. Cox and was soundly defeated by the Warren Harding/Calvin Coolidge ticket.

She stayed on as his private secretary and their friendship was further solidified when Roosevelt contracted polio.

Having suffered from a debilitating bout

of rheumatic fever as a youngster, LeHand became even more simpatico with her employer (and friend).

Smith is a lifelong admirer of FDR, and although he understandably looms large in the pages of The Gatekeeper, Smith deftly keeps LeHand at the forefront.

Given the tumult of that point in time, she could conceivably fade into the background, even of her own biography. But that isn’t the case here. Actually, the book sheds some fresh insight into Roosevelt’s life and presidency precisely because it is told from the perspective of another character.

Another reason LeHand’s legacy has been much overlooked is that she predeceased FDR. Not unlike the President, her health was perennially precarious, and like Roosevelt’s, was exacerbated by the pressures of the presidency, particularly as World War II approached. Roosevelt was widely considered a casualty of the conflict, and a strong argument could be made that LeHand was, as well.

LeHand suffered a stroke in June 1941 and never fully recovered, although she was kept on the payroll and her medical bills paid until her death, which occurred July 31, 1944, shortly after Roosevelt accepted the nomination for his fourth term in office. Roosevelt would himself die in April 1945, only a month after the cargo ship SS Marguerite LeHand was christened. To this day, the Roosevelt family maintains her gravesite in Mount Auburn Cemetery in Massachusetts.

Now, thanks to Kathryn Smith and The Gatekeeper, Missy LeHand gets the credit and respect that have long been overdue. !

Greensboro’s Magpie Thief play Winston-Salem

BY JOHN ADAMIAN | @johnradamian

T

he Greensboro duo Magpie Thief had some hard-to-ignore, real-life events shaping the music they made last year.

Singer, songwriter and banjo player Emily Stewart had a cat that was killed by a neighbor’s unrestrained, aggressive dog.

This was the second cat Stewart had lost to the dog. She was pissed. It was seeping into her music. Meanwhile, her collaborator, Matty Sheets, grappled with a hardto-pin-down medical ailment. Magpie Thief play two area shows this weekend, one at Test Pattern in Winston-Salem on June 24, and at On Pop of the World Studios in Greensboro on June 26.

Stewart, who practices reiki and other naturalistic forms of healing in WinstonSalem, isn’t normally a confrontational person prone to violent anger. But the loss of her cat and indifference of her neighbor stirred her up. The rage fueled some musicmaking.

“I got a little irate with the neighbor.

The cops showed up,” Stewart said. “We walked back into the house and my mother-in-law goes ‘Wow, you really went Alabama on his ass.’”

Stewart, 33, was raised in Alabama.

Evidently, the decibel level on her voice bumped up a few notches when she was expressing herself to her neighbor.

Not long after that incident, Stewart and Sheets were set to practice. Stewart had fleshed out some lyrics that included a line about “going Alabama” on someone’s

Emily Stewart and Matty Sheets make up the duo of Magpie Thief. ass. Sheets had a riff that Stewart liked.

They fused the two and came up with the core of “Alabama Loud,” the first tune on the latest Magpie Thief E.P., Say What You Mean, which came out at the end of 2016.

The newest recording has more layers, with drumming and the drive of a rhythm section in places, and a hint more muscle, though the music is still essentially mellow and easy-rolling.

The idea of using music — the weight of the lyrics, the physicality of singing — as a way of channeling emotion and getting in touch with one’s body, these are things that Stewart had been thinking about for years. Allowing music to serve as an escape hatch for what you might call dark energy is probably healthier than just letting bad feelings fester and stew.

“Alabama Loud” ended up functioning as a way to explore the welling up of an-

ger in the body. Stewart had long thought of singing her songs as related to chanting a mantra, a way of getting one’s breath in sync with one’s mind. You can almost hear her savouring in her mouth each slowdrawl syllable and melodic slide or swoop when she sings.

Magpie Thief is an acoustic duo and they play blues-tinged Americana, a little old timey, a little folky. They’re not a punk outfit, but Sheets and Stewart consider the venting of emotion to be central to what they do. They want to radiate a kind of sonic candor. The pair came together in 2014 after each had backed the other in different projects. So they knew each other’s songs and they knew they both wanted to make music and take it out on the road. That’s what they’d been busy doing up until the fall of 2016.

Sheets, 41, had his own weighty truths

to excavate and process. A prolific multiinstrumentalist and active musical collaborator in the Greensboro music scene for decades, Sheets learned that he had multiple sclerosis last year. It took a while to figure out what was wrong.

“It started in my legs,” Sheet said. “I was feeling this weak numbness in my legs.

Eventually I started feeling it in my hands, and my legs never got better.”

The real indicator that something was seriously wrong came when Sheets was playing a gig with Stewart and he found himself unable to get his hand to quickly shape a chord on the guitar, something he’d done probably tens of thousands of times over the past 20 years.

That led to an urgent-care visit and a recommendation to see a neurologist, and a second opinion. In the end, the diagnosis was a kind of relief for Sheets, who had

“Think edgy mix of sweet and heat—that’s what Copper Penny is about!”

started worrying that he had a brain tumor or some kind of cancer.

Health concerns upended Sheets’ life over the last six months. He’s cut out cigarettes and alcohol. He’s trying to get the right kinds of exercise. He got a lighter guitar that’s easier to carry and hold. He’s stopped playing standing up for the time being. The two and three-hour shows that used to be the bread and butter for Sheets have had to be nixed, because fatigue makes them impossible. Playing outdoor shows in the summer sun is something he’s had to avoid, too, because of the heat.

Working to cut stress out of his life, Sheets says he’s basically avoided looking at the news since November, which happens to have coincided with what many view as the most alarming stretch of current events in recent memory.

It’s a complicated equation. Sheets and Stewart started Magpie Thief because they were eager to be busy playing out.

But the stress of touring and playing long shows is something Sheets has to avoid now. At the same time though, playing music is one of things that makes him feel best.

“Playing music is always great,” he said.

“That three or four minutes when you’re playing music with somebody, that’s my favorite time. That’s my favorite part of life.”

Sheets says he’s working on some material that might turn into a punk album, with songs about the frustrations of life, particularly in dealing with the expenses, uncertainty and anxiety of health care, insurance and hospitals. Stewart and Sheets generally split songwriting and singing duties with the band. Sheets’s songs tend to have a slightly more off-the-cuff feel, but with sections that often shift the metric feel, adding a surprise change of pace to

the tunes. He seems to have embraced a kind of sleepy optimism.

“I’m not dead yet, and neither are you,” goes one line on “Body Woods,” one of his tunes on the recent release.

Sheets and Stewart say they might dip a little more into the country blues — music of Charley Patton and Skip James — that they both love so much as an inspirational beacon for their next batch of songs.

Sheets also points to the unfettered sense of truth-telling and pure emotion in early punk and early hip-hop as aesthetic models for all kinds of music-making in the 21st century.

“What I really like, especially in this day and age, is just expressing feelings,” he said. “I just think that’s beautiful.”

Never a Bridesmaids

BY MATT BRUNSON

N

ever a Bridesmaids but always a Bridesmaids wannabe, Rough Night ( ) stars Scarlett Johansson as Jess, whose political campaign gets put on hold for one weekend as she heads to Miami for her bachelorette party. Set to marry sweet Peter (Paul W. Downs, who also co-wrote the script with director Lucia Aniello), she’s joined on her outing by her best friends from her college days: needy Alice (Jillian Bell), sophisticated Blair (Zoe Kravitz), outspoken Frankie (Ilana Glazer), and, from her studies abroad, eccentric Aussie Pippa (Kate McKinnon). After much consumption of alcohol and cocaine at a nightclub, it’s determined that a male stripper should be summoned to the house for Jess’s pleasure. But in her state of perpetual horniness, Alice ends up killing the dude, and the five ladies spend the rest of the picture determining how best to cover up the crime.

Rough Night never gets as ugly as 1998’s comparable Very Bad Things, but even acknowledging (semi-spoiler, I guess,

though it’s pretty easy to guess where the movie is heading) that it will eventually be revealed that this man deserved his gruesome fate, the filmmakers never find the proper degree at which to pitch their black comedy, making the scenario more lurid than intriguing. Moving beyond the

killing, the remainder of the picture just isn’t very funny, with the great McKinnon largely wasted and Bell receiving far too much screen time while playing a truly odious character.

To its credit, the movie isn’t afraid to acknowledge alternative lifestyles — one central character is gay, another is bi, and neighbors amusingly played by Ty Burrell and Demi Moore are rampaging swingers — and there are some bright early sequences involving Peter and his friends, all of whose idea of a wild weekend is to attend a wine tasting in which one of the wines is — gasp! — served chilled. But for the most part, Rough Night only succeeds in squandering a strong cast on material that’s guilty of mediocrity and inconsistency.

The latest installment in Pixar’s NASCAR-approved franchise, Cars 3 ( ) owes almost as much to Rocky III as it does to the previous two entries in this lucrative series. In fact, Rocky III’s Oscar-nominated theme song, Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger,” reverberates through the mind at such a high pitch during the viewing experience that the band might as well have been contacted to provide an updated version (“Eye of the Tiger In Your Tank”?).

The previous pictures are perhaps Pixar’s most underrated offerings — 2006’s Cars offered a lovely look at Route 66 mythology while 2011’s Cars 2 was an engaging espionage caper — but I daresay

this one will probably be rated about right. Resolutely sweet-natured and marked by some compelling visuals, it’s still the weakest of the trio, with Lightning McQueen (again voiced by Owen Wilson) and other old-school race cars finding themselves becoming obsolete with the emergence of newer and sleeker models. Chief among the upstarts is Jackson Storm (Armie Hammer), who usurps Lightning’s position as the sport’s reigning champion. Combatting both injury and depression, Lightning falls into a funk during the off-season, requiring his friends (including Bonnie Hunt’s Sally and Larry the Cable Guy’s Mater) to talk him off the mental and emotional cliff. With his optimism and enthusiasm restored, he undergoes a vigorous training regime, aided by his new coach Cruz Ramirez (Cristela Alonzo).

Cars 3 spends too much of the early going in idle, repeating familiar beats about how it sucks to get old (a sop to aging adults in the audience?) while fetishizing shiny new cars and accessories that will look great on Target shelves.

Still, the movie is always agreeable if rarely exciting, and it does kick into high gear for the final stretch, which offers a pleasing plot pirouette that’s right in line with the usual Pixar philosophies of solidarity and self-worth. If this turns out to be the final Cars film — only the studio bean counters know for sure — there are worse ways for the franchise to ride off into the celluloid sunset. !

The Green Bean joins the Joe Van Gogh family

T

BY KATIE MURAWSKI

he Green Bean was founded in 2002 and remains the longest standing coffee shop in the city, Coen Cauthen The Green Bean’s retail operations manager, said.

In 2009, the original owners Pete and Anne Schroth sold the coffee shop to its then-manager Katie Southard. In 2015, The Green Bean expanded to a restaurant and coffee house on Golden Gate Drive.

However, through all of those changes, Joe Van Gogh the coffee shop’s roasters had remained its constant since opening day—that is, until mid-May of this year.

The 26-year-old, Hillsborough-based, coffee bean roasters took over ownership of both of The Green Bean’s locations.

“We were really the first thing that started to happen downtown on Elm,” Cauthen said. “The fact that we have

22 YES! WEEKLY

been bought is kind of a big deal.”

Joe Van Gogh’s mission, according to its website is to “foster a community with great coffee - a community of farmers, millers, roasters, baristas, and coffee drinkers.” Cauthen said the quality of Joe Van Gogh’s coffee has elevated the shop for years.

“But there is something to be said about having a company that backs you and gives you more opportunity,” Cauthen said. “We are going from a single-owner, private company to a little bit more accessible to things we were never to before have ever had before. So, when this new micro-lot, single origin, fair trade, pickedby-someone’s-grandmother comes in we can afford it and afford to give it to the community.”

Joe Van Gogh’s retail development manager Jami Shangler added that The Green Bean also has access to the infor-

mation about the farms where the coffee is coming from.

“We have such a community with the farmers, which is amazing and is rare in some cases, being able to have a complete, direct line,” Shangler said.

For instance, Stephanie Kelley Joe Van Gogh’s brand manager mentioned one brand of coffee, Cafe Femenino from Peru that has a program that supports women that produce the coffee. Kelley said she had the opportunity to meet the women and Robbie Roberts the owner of Joe Van Gogh, was going to meet them this July.

“So, the women with a specific cooperative, they came together,” Kelley said. “Peru was actually the first country that this program was initiated in 2004 and it has since grown and is in a number of other countries such as, Sumatra to Mexico to Nicaragua and Brazil. So, it is just empowering these women.”

This is just one of many other coffees that Joe Van Gogh and now The Green Bean has to offer.

“I am excited to just share this kind of information with the staff here,” Kelley said. “Joe Van Gogh is also excited, I mean this is a really fun opportunity for us too. It was something Robbie Roberts, the owner of Joe Van Gogh, when it was presented to him he knew he wanted to pursue.”

Roberts, in an email, described The Green Bean as having been and is still a “Greensboro trendsetter.” Roberts went on to write that Joe Van Gogh, “felt attached to the Green Bean since it opened, and we had the pleasure of roasting its coffee from the beginning.”

Audrey Stephens the Elm Street store manager has been with The Green Bean for six years and has “watched its inception” since even before it opened.

Stephens said when Southard decided to sell the business she first consulted with Joe Van Gogh. Stephens said that The Green Bean did not even make it on the market before it was sold. Stephens calls this “a natural progression” for the business and is thrilled to be under new ownership.

Cauthen said for The Green Bean the new shift in ownerships means “a lot of cool things.” Cauthen said some of these cool things include training programs and access to more specialty coffees.

“For The Green Bean’s staff it means a living wage and benefits for our full time employees,” Cauthen said. “Which, in the world of coffee, is a rare thing. So, we are really excited about it.”

For Stephens, who used to be a small business owner herself, the change in ownership has inspired her to bring her full focus to The Green Bean.

“It means that they are investing in me,” Stephens said. “Which makes me want to WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

invest my time here because I am being shown how valuable I am. That is a really big deal, that is a huge deal and has far reaching effects in anyone’s quality of life.”

When people think about The Green Bean, Cauthen says that they think “institution” because of their long-standing reputation as community-oriented business downtown.

“Whether it is our rotating art that happens every month—we have a curator on staff who brings in a lot of local artist—or partnering with local vendors for our food.” Cauthen said. “It has been a big deal, it is who we are. Fortunately for us, it is also who Joe Van Gogh is. They are really into getting involved in the community and tailoring to the people around them.”

Cauthen said the only worry that he and Stephens had about the switch in ownership was: Who was going to be in charge of them and in charge of carrying on the integrity of the well-known and revered coffee shop? Now, after a month of Joe Van Gogh’s ownership Cauthen and Stephens both agreed the new partner-

ship really works for them.

Shangler was in charge of overseeing the transition of ownership and she said on Joe Van Gogh’s end, they are really excited to get to know The Green Bean’s staffs and the community of Greensboro as a whole.

“Having a bigger connection to Greensboro has been our main focus,” Shangler said. “Right now, it is getting to know what The Green Bean is and what it means and going from there.”

Joe Van Gogh has coffee shops in both Raleigh and Durham, but the addition of The Green Bean is something new for Joe Van Gogh. Kelley has worked with Joe Van Gogh for 10 years and she said it is the first time that the company has acquired an existing business.

As far as changes are concerned, Cauthen said that they will come “slow and steadily” after Joe Van Gogh gets acclimated to the community. Stephens said the foundational changes that have already occurred are only going to inspire the continued changes that occur.

“Those first foundational changes have been to invest in the employees, the staff,

the space, the equipment, in education and training,” Stephens said. “These are things that then inspire the people who work here to be excited about any change that may come.”

This, in turn, will help communicate those changes in a way that excites people and draws their reception.

Stephens said Greensboro can expect to see a “deepened relationship” with the community, even more so than The Green Bean already has.

“Again, we are talking about foundations and the most amazing foundation is our wonderful reputation and our solid and committed relationship to the community already,” Stephens said. “Greensboro can expect to see more of that in bigger and better ways.”

Cauthen said one thing is certain: the quality of coffee is only going to get better.

Horigan’s House of Taps: Not your average beer and wine bar

Mike Horan, co-owner of Horigan’s House of Taps, poses in front of their famous mural that Horan says attracts people to take photos.

BY KATIE MURAWSKI Co-owner of Horigan’s House of Taps, Mike Horan was inspired to open Horigan’s with his wife by a bar he visited in Oceanside, California, called Barrel Republic.

“I saw the technology there, they were a slightly different interpretation but the big concept was basically the same,” Horan said. “They had large number of self-serve taps and had some food as well. I thought that concept would really translate well to Greensboro. It is not something we have had here.”

This is Horan’s first business and he said from that standpoint, opening Horigan’s House of Taps was a fun and interesting way to get into the bar business.

“It is an easier start up, than starting a bar from scratch,” Horan said. “This was a new first business for my wife and I, so this concept kind of made it a little bit easier to take that leap and start a business.”

Horigan’s House of Taps located on the corner of South Elm Street in Greensboro offers self-serve beer and wine from 48 different taps and charges by the ounce.

There are eight taps of wine, four whites and four reds, and in addition there are 20 different bottles of wine for sale. As for beer and cider, there are 40 different taps of crafts, some even from local breweries.

“You are not likely to find Miller Lite here,” Horan joked.

Patrons of age are given wristbands upon arrival and those wristbands are used to scan underneath the tap of the

24 YES! WEEKLY

JUNE 21-27, 2017

patron’s choosing to calculate the price and activate the tap. Every 32 ounces of alcohol poured by an individual, the front desk will be notified so that the House of Taps can remain up to Alcohol Law Enforcement requirements.

Horigan’s official soft opening was on Mother’s Day and their grand opening was on May 27. From then to now, Horan said business has gone pretty well. Horigan’s is open seven days a week and generally receives good crowds on Fridays and Saturdays. Starting June 21 and every Wednesday after, Horigan’s will offer a special called “Kick The Keg” night. Horan said three or four kegs will be marked down to half price and “close to kicking” and the person who has the pour that kicks the keg will get their next beer from the replacing keg free as well as a pint glass.

“It is a little prize for kicking the keg,” Horan said.

Horan said it is hard to pinpoint what everyone’s favorite beer is so far because the taps rotate out so much. After a keg has been kicked, Horan said that a totally different keg replaces it. Horan said there has been kegs that have lasted two days and there are still kegs that are still left from the opening of Horigan’s.

Horan said the variety of beers range from stouts, porters to IPA, wheat beers and sours.

“We want to keep that variety, so when we are getting low on a keg of a specific variety, we will go look at what the dis-

Tyler Mankins and Kim Tomokies , first time patrons of Horigan’s House of Taps on Elm Street in Downtown Greensboro. tributor have in that variety.”

As time goes on, Horan said Horigan’s is becoming more and more local in that they are offering more craft beers from local breweries such as Natty Greene’s, Gibbs Hundred, Preyer, and Red Oak in Greensboro, Brown Truck in High Point, Wise Man and Foothills in Winston-Salem and coming soon: Four Saints in Asheboro.

Kyle Pagani, tapster at Horigan’s has worked at the tap house since it has opened. Pagani said he got the job because he was nosy. He said he saw that there was work being done to the building and he was curious as to what business was coming in. He dropped in and met with Horan who was working on renovations. Coincidentally, Pagani had been to the same bar in California that inspired Horan to open his own house of taps.

“Right then and there I knew he had done his research,” Pagani said. “I kept coming by every now and then to check on him and he showed me the walk-in and it just got me really stoked about it. I’ve wanted to get into the craft beer industry because I love drinking good tasting beer.”

Pagani said working at the house of taps is great because Horan is nice enough to give his employees discounts on the beer.

“After work, I get to sample it and then pass that on to the customers,” Pagani said. “I remember when I started getting into craft beer, I did not really know much about it, so to have someone giving a recommendation according to what they

like, it is helpful and awesome.”

Pagani said in addition to the beer and wine, Horigan’s also offers some snack foods.

Horan said there is a limited menu that offers three different types of panini sandwiches, appetizers such as pretzels, spinach and artichoke dip, and southwest eggrolls. Horan said for wine lovers, Horgian’s also offers cheese plates.

However, this does not mean people can’t bring in their own food to eat when they come to drink.

“That is just business that we would lose out on if people don’t want to eat our food,” Pagani said. “If people want to grab a pizza from Mellow Mushroom, come in and eat it while they drink our beverages that is basically extra money.”

Kim Tomokies and Tyler Mankins were first-time visitors at Horigans and were attracted to it because of the wide selection of beer and the pour-it-yourself system.

Tomokies said she likes to try new things and likes that she does not have to pour a full glass of just one beer at Horigan’s but rather, she can sample a little bit of different beers at a time. Mankins added that Horigans was the perfect place to try as many beers as possible because of the “plethora of beers” available on the taps.

“I think it is good for people who do not know what they like, because you can try little bits at a time you don’t need a full glass,” Tomokies said. “At other bars, you have to buy a full glass that you might not end up drinking. !

Rob Overman, New executive director of GDPI strives for more community-oriented parks Almost eight weeks into his new position as executive director, Rob Overman already has plans to progress the principal ideal of community engagement upon which Greensboro Downtown Parks Incorporated is built.

Following its model of local engagement, GDPI hired Overman, a lifelong Greensboro resident, on April 25 to lead the public-private nonprofit’s management of LeBauer and Center City Park in downtown Greensboro.

“We did a national search to find an executive director for the parks and had, I think, over 60 applicants and we were really just pleased to find Rob really in our backyard,” GDPI chairwoman Cecelia Thompson said. “He’s a downtown resident, his partner is a downtown business owner, and he has a really vast experience from living and working in the national parks out west.”

Overman said he thinks being a Greensboro native will serve in his favor.

“I think for me, one of the things I’ll benefit from is being from this area—kind of knowing the pulse of Greensboro, understanding its residents, understanding what works in Greensboro and what doesn’t necessarily work,” Overman said.

However, his experience in the western part of the country gave him some ideas he wants to apply to Greensboro’s parks.

Denver, Colorado, his former place of residence, had an open space policy around the city that increased residents’ outdoor access.

“Seeing the impact that had on the Denver community—this access to outdoor spaces, this access to health and recreation—that’s something that I would like to see more of in Greensboro and LeBauer Park and Center City Park,” Overman said. “It’s a great opportunity to do that—getting people outside, engaging people in exercise.”

Wade Walcutt, director of the Greensboro Parks and Recreation Department, said Overman knows when to get involved and when to zoom out to see the bigger picture.

“He’s good at being a helicopter pilot because he has the ability, if there is a problem, to fly down closer to the problem, and he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty and help fix the problem,” Walcutt said. “But he also knows that you can’t fly at that low altitude for too long because WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

through live music and public art installation.

Maintaining and increasing the diversity of park visitors is important to GDPI in its management of LeBauer and Center City Parks.

“Something we take a lot of pride in is really at any day you can walk through the park and see all people from race and religion and all walks of life really enjoying themselves together,” Thompson said.

Overman said he plans on measuring demographics in the parks, which could further GDPI’s mission of diversity. However, he said the best ways to get ideas for such plans is through interacting with Greensboro residents.

“I can sit in this office all day and brainstorm and come up with programs and ideas and different things to do, but it’s really about talking to the people in your community and finding out what is it that they want to see and what does that look like for them,” Overman said. !

community,” Overman said.

Fitness classes, children’s activities, live music and movie nights will continue to be held in the parks, but Overman is adding trivia nights, a Father’s Day campout and a summer concert series called LeBauer Live to the long list of GDPI-hosted programs.

Thompson said the programming is central to GDPI’s core value of community building and improvement, so there will be plenty of free events this upcoming summer.

“The free programming is a tremendous advantage to our community,” Thompson said. “If you think about the value of taking a family to the movies on a Friday night—it’s not a cheap endeavor to do, and so we’re providing 16 or 17 free movies this summer.”

Overman’s vision also includes incorporating seniors into the parks’ volunteer opportunities and programs, increasing children’s educational programs and continuing GDPI’s emphasis on the arts

Rob Overman, new executive director of Greensboro Downtown Parks Inc. we need him to have a broader global perspective.”

Overman said he doesn’t plan on making major changes to GDPI’s financial model. The city, which owns LeBauer and Center City, provides $350,000, while GDPI funds the rest of the annual $1.2 million operational costs through sponsorships, private donations, naming rights and the leases of restaurant kiosk in the parks.

GDPI has hosted over 500 free programs in LeBauer and Center City Parks since July 2016. Overman said the continuation of this public free programming is a priority because it’s inclusive of all Greensboro residents.

“My number one goal is going to be to maintain that park vitality, to make sure the programs we’re offering are relevant and that they’re having an impact on the community, to ensure that we continue to run special events like live music and things that engage all members of our

[HOROSCOPES]

[CANCER (June 21 to July 22) On June 21, 2017, not only will you have the solstice but also Mercury enters your sign.

You may need to think out loud about whatever you are pondering. If there is no one to listen, satisfy that need by making outlines or lists. Your mind is flowing with good ideas. Perhaps you need to diagram how all these things fit together. Your mind is working fast. You will need to find a way to bring order out of the apparent chaos.

[LEO (July 23 to August 22) It is normal to feel somewhat lethargic during the month just prior to one’s birthday. At this time the sun is figuratively at its darkest and we experience a natural low in our personal annual cycle. Don’t take the dip too seriously. It is meant to happen this way, so that you can rest before your new year begins. Take a vacation if possible.

REAL PEOPLE REAL DESIRE REAL FUN.

[VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You are finishing a work project and shifting gears into new territory this week.

You will be focusing on communications with friends, acquaintances, and building your network. Near May 27, 2017, you are tempted to speak about things that are better left unsaid. Avoid the temptation to gossip.

[LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Aspects favor collection of debts and small gifts or favors from others. All you must do is be present and open to receiving them. Communications with family and friends is a large part of your weekend. You have a lot of energy to share and likely will be involved in activities that help you burn up some of that excess. Keep your opinions to yourself unless asked.

[SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Take yourself outdoors this week and enjoy the summer weather. Go somewhere or do an activity that soothes your nerves and offers peace of mind. Things are improving in your primary relationship.

Perhaps you are using better diplomacy, so exchanges go more smoothly.

[SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You are especially interested in paying off debts and organizing your finances. In less than a year you will make some big changes and you don’t want to be encumbered by bills or financial promises that might slow your forward motion. Time with family and home interests are rewarding to you now.

[CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The bells of romance may be ringing this week. You are unusually open and friendly, which attracts people to you. If you have wanted to ask someone for coffee, now is the time. You are also especially creative. That does not imply that you should do something artistic, but you may have a good time with any type of media.

[AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) This is an unusually quiet week for the Waterbearer. Your avatar planets are Saturn and Uranus. During this week neither of them is sending you new messages. Chill. Take a week’s breather. Go on a vacation. Read some books or watch good movies.

[PISCES (February 19 to March 20) This is a fine time to enjoy books and/or TV, meditate and journal. Give yourself time for self-exploration and even just “diddling around” and relaxing. Your dreams are meaningful and your intuition strong. Romance is on the horizon if you are interested. Allow your intuition to be your guide.

[ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Going off on your own might make your life easier for the next few days. However, give more attention to the roles played by the important people in your life. The reward might be longer term peace and harmony.

You have to decide which is more valuable: short term freedom or the support of a longer term relationship.

[TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Circumstances will work in your favor as you deal with travel, legal interests, higher education, religious activities, and/or publishing matters. In some situations, it is a matter of good will from others. In other situations, it may just be your good fortune that the rule of the Powers that Be helps things flow in your direction.

[GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your ruling planet, Mercury, moves into the sign of Cancer for the next two to three weeks.

Your attention will be drawn to organizing your financial picture. Be open to a realistic check on this area. If there are issues, leave the credit cards at home on the weekend. You will be prone to overspend.

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

SILICONE VALLEY I’m a guy who hates fake boobs.

I’ve dumped women I really liked upon discovering they have them. Total dealbreaker for me.

However, I obviously can’t just ask whether a woman has them. What should I do? I don’t want to waste my time or hers. — Real Deal

Amy Alkon

Advice Goddess

Right. Not exactly a first-date question: “So...did you get your boobs from your mom’s side of the family or from some doc’s Yelp review?”

Your aversion to counterfitties doesn’t come out of nowhere. Breast implants are a form of “strategic interference,” evolutionary psychologist David Buss’ term for when the mating strategies of one sex are derailed by the other. Women, for example, evolved to seek “providers” — men with high status and access to resources. A guy engages in strategic interference by impressing the ladies with his snazzy new Audi — one he pays for by subletting a “condo” that’s actually the backyard playhouse of the rotten 8-yearold next door.

A woman doesn’t need an Audi (or even a bus pass) to attract men. She just needs the features that men evolved to go all oglypants for — like youth, an hourglass bod, big eyes, full lips, and big bra pup-

pies. Men aren’t attracted to these features just becuz. Biological anthropologist Grazyna Jasienska finds that women with big (natural!) boobs have higher levels of the hormone estradiol, a form of estrogen that increases a woman’s likelihood of conception. Women with both big boobs and a small waist have about 30 percent higher levels — which could mean they’d be about three times as likely to get pregnant as other women. So, big fake boobs are a form of mating forgery — like a box supposedly containing a high-def TV that actually contains a bunch of no-def bricks.

There are some telltale signs of Frankenboobs, like immunity from gravity.

Women with big real boobs have bra straps that could double as seat belts and bra backs like those lumbar support belts worn by warehouse workers. However, an increasing number of women have more subtle implants (all the better to strategically interfere with you, my dear!).

Though you might get the truth by teasing the subject of plastic surgery into conversation, you should accept the reality: You may not know till you get a woman horizontal — and the sweater Alps remain so high and proud you’re pretty sure you see Heidi running across them, waving to the Ricola guy playing the alpenhorn.

MY FAWNY VALENTINE

I went out with this guy twice. He was really effusive about how much he liked me and how we had the beginnings of something awesome. He seemed sincere, so I ended up sleeping with him, and then, boom. He vanished. Was he just telling

me he was into me to get me in the sack?

I can’t imagine ever doing that to somebody. — Integrity A guy’s “I really care about you” makes a woman feel that he’s got a real reason for being there with her — beyond how the neighbor’s goat’s a surprisingly fast runner.

Men evolved to be the worker bees of sex — the wooers of the species, trying to sell women on their level of love and commitment with mushy talk and bunches of carats. Women generally don’t need to work to get sex; they just need to let men know they’re willing — which is why around Valentine’s Day, you don’t hear the tool-time version of those Kay Jewelers commercials, reminding the ladies, “Every kiss begins with a circular saw!”

This difference aligns with what evolutionary psychologist David Buss calls men’s and women’s conflicting “sexual strategies” — in keeping with how getting it on can leave a woman “with child” and a man with a little less semen. Accordingly, Buss finds that women are more likely to be “sexual deceivers” — to dangle the possibility of sex to get a favor or special

treatment from a man. Men, on the other hand, are more likely to be “commitment deceivers.” In Buss’ lab, when the researchers asked 112 college dudes about whether they’d “exaggerated the depth of their feelings for a woman in order to have sex with her, 71 percent admitted to having done so, compared with only 39 percent of the women” who were asked whether they’d done that sort of thing.

Knowing the different ways men and women deceive and are prone to be deceived is the best way to avoid being a victim of that deception. Borrow a motto from Missouri, the Show Me State. And note that this “show me” thing takes time. Wait to have sex until you’ve been around a guy enough to see that he’s got something behind those flowery words — beyond how getting you into bed is preferable to staying home, dressing his penis in a tiny cape, and playing video games. !
