Bia’s Gourmet Hardware

BY KRISTI MAIER

n the heart of downtown Asheboro, sits an unassuming, little restaurant called, Bia’s Gourmet Hardware. Oddly named perhaps, but not when you know that Bia’s is situated inside a 1920’s building that once housed a hardware store.

This history of the old McCrary Hardware building and what it used to be has been made part of the aesthetic at Bia’s.

It feels industrial and a bit prohibition-era.

The brick exterior, multiple levels and the obvious use of repurposed materials add to the charm. There’s a bar area, featuring local spirits, craft cocktails, beer and wine that is part of the main dining area but with a partial wall to allow for some separation. Not to knock Asheboro at all, it just doesn’t feel like Asheboro.

Brazilian born Bia Rich and her husband the general manager Eric, opened Bia’s three and a half years ago. She and her husband chose Asheboro to open their restaurant because they have family there. Bia Rich has 20 years of restaurant experience and has been in the industry her whole life.

“I came to New York City from Brazil at 16 years old and worked my way up in the restaurant industry,” Bia Rich said.

It just so happens, my fabulous motherin-law lives there so we visited Bia’s for lunch recently and followed a few days later with dinner. We needed to really see what was happening in that kitchen, because the photos of the food that were being posted were just too beautiful to ignore. Look no further than Bia’s social media to get a temptation for your eyes and tastebuds that will have you on the road to Asheboro in no time.

Lunch at Bia’s features a relatively small and simple menu with a few appetizers, salads, sandwiches and some entrees. My mother-in-law ordered the day’s special of house chicken salad on croissant with a garden salad. Kiddos ordered chicken tenders (surprise, surprise). I was craving something simple and fresh so I opted for the spinach salad with Scottish salmon. A bit pricy at $14 but it was light and nourishing. From what I can tell, the menu changes relatively often with many fun, personally-developed creations.

At dinner, you’ll find a more extensive menu of tapas, small plates and tempting entrees. Plus you’ll find a wonderful list of local farms that Bia’s supports. “We love working with local farmer and building

Bia Rich and her husband, Eric. those relationships,” Bia Rich said. “It’s very important to us.”

You’ll find no less than a dozen or so farms featured from the Triad to the coast. As I mentioned, the photos from Bia’s social media posts might make you think about a drive to Asheboro and I spotted something that I knew I had to try. It was a small plate with diver scallops, caramelized pineapple, jasmine-ham

croquette in a vibrant jerk sauce. The colors were incredible and the scallops were perfectly seared. It had some serious heat paired with the sweetness from the pineapple for a great balance of savory and sweet.

My hubby ordered an entree of Cheshire Pork Shank with lobster tamales, kale and red sauce. Obviously this dish was a hat tip to Bia’s Brazilian heritage. The pork

nearly melted in your mouth. My motherin-law went a little creole with the gumbo of shrimp,okra, crawfish, tasso and andouille. She says she would’ve liked a bit more shrimp in the bowl and that it was pretty spicy and hearty. Believe it or not, this time around, my little microfoodies opted for tapas and small bites from the bar menu for their meal. One was an order of these wonderful beef wontons with a maple sriracha chili sauce that didn’t last long at all. Another was a bar bite order of meatballs that was super flavorful.

One should never pass up a chance to try burrata, an Italian cheese dish made from mozzarella and cream. It looks like fresh mozzarella on the outside, but the inside is filled with stracciatella and cream. Prepared properly, once the exterior is pierced, the creamy interior is exposed and is wonderful for spreading or on a salad. Bia’s prepares her burrata

with a sunchoke confit, golden raisins and pine nuts, it was luscious. There may have been some dessert too, for the little ones, of course, that consisted of homemade chocolate mint ice cream cookies and a chocolate pot de creme with salted caramel.

It was all quite creative and we were very impressed. The servers were knowledgeable and attentive. In the kitchen alongside Bia, is revered chef Graham Heaton, who is co-owner of Table 16 Restaurant in Greensboro. He stepped away from the kitchen last July but is back now, at Bia’s, with renewed energy and excitement for his work. The two have known each other for years and when Bia needed a partner in the kitchen and Heaton swooped right in.

“The chemistry in our kitchen is unique and it’s extremely strong,” he said. “I always said if there was one person I would work for in this area was Bia Rich and here I am.”

Because of Asheboro being “on the way” to Southern Pines, the beach and so close to the zoo, folks often need a place to catch their breath. “Our restaurant is pretty busy most nights from locals to folks who are visiting from out of town,” Bia Rich said. “We only advertise on social media and that seems to be working for us.”

When we were there on a recent Monday, the place was nicely filled, with

peppercorn theatre at kaleideum presents...

a large group of travel writers enjoying their meal. Bia’s Gourmet Hardware has definitely been capturing some good press lately.

So is it surprising to find such a restaurant in Asheboro of all places? I don’t think so. The town is but a short 25 minute drive from Greensboro, after all. I think Asheboro is hitting its stride, with a charming downtown and entrepreneurs who have a vision to repurpose those

historic buildings into something wonderful. Heaton said he and Bia Rich have a lot in common.

“You start big and you think you’re going to teach people how to eat, and then they mold what your restaurant will be,” Heaton said. “So there’s a touch of Bia here but there’s a touch of Asheboro too because at the end of the day, it’s all about putting people in the seats, making sure they’re happy. Bia’s is unique to Asheboro but to the Triad as a whole.” He adds, “We’re pushing the envelope back there in the kitchen and folks are very receptive to it. They’re loving it.” !

Hopscotch and hope: Greensboro author Steve Cushman’s new novel

BY IAN MCDOWELL

W

hen Kirkus Reviews called Steve Cushman’s Hopscotch uplifting, I sighed. Most stories of cancer patients encountering miracles make me nauseous as my 2014 chemotherapy did. But Cushman earns honest sentiment in his story of a mysteriously reappearing hopscotch pattern outside a Greensboro hospital, its bright chalk lines accompanied by the invitation “Try it.”

As staff and patients, including a veteran of Iraq, and yes, a little girl with cancer, are drawn to the magical board, Cushman depicts their despair and hope with empathy.

The setting of Hopscotch suggests Moses Cone, where Cushman has worked for 15 years. Born in Taunton, Massachusetts, Cushman lived in Florida before moving to Greensboro when he was 30-years-old to earn his Master’s of Fine Art from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. This wasn’t his first writing program;

he already had a master’s from a one-year program at Hollins.

Cushman was at UNCG from 2000 to 2002, studying fiction writing with Michael Parker and Lee Zacharias.

“One of the things Michael preached was the importance of the line, the sentence, and how these must sing the story forward,” Cushman said. “But it wasn’t until I started writing poetry years later that I understood what he meant.

Lee was such a kind, insightful teacher. I learned a lot from both of them and my classmates.”

Before graduate school, Steve worked in radiology. I asked him if this is the first time his day job influenced his writing.

Cushman said that until 2010, he worked as an X-ray technician and never wrote about his experiences.

“It wasn’t until I moved to IT in 2010 that I was able to do so,” Cushman said.

“I started writing poetry, and my medical experiences came back as a ton of images I wanted to capture. I think a big piece of that is distance from the experience.”

After receiving his master’s, he went back to work as an X-ray technician.

Cushman found his inspiration for Hopscotch not at work but near his Greensboro home. He said 10 years ago, while he was walking his dog, a hopscotch board drawn on the sidewalk caught his attention.

“I thought, ‘what if this was at a hospital?’ and considered the mystery of who drew it, then imagined the patients and staff and spent five years trying to figure out how it might affect them,” Cushman said.

I ask him if he considers Hopscotch magical realism or fantasy and Cushman said he does not consider labels when writing.

“I don’t think about labels when writing, but have no problem with them as long as readers enjoy the books and take a little something away,” Cushman said.

He said his last novel, Heart With Joy, was categorized in the young adult genre by many people and he said Hopscotch has been called magical realism by a few folks.

His debut novel, Portisville, won the 2004 Novello Literary Award and he has published the poetry chapbooks, Hospital Work and Midnight Stroll.

“I didn’t do poetry until 2011,” Cushman said. “I’d always been a fiction writer, but for the past six years, I’ve done both.”

Cushman said he is a big fan of authors Anne Tyler, Richard Russo and Alice Hoffman. But he reads more poetry than fiction these days from authors such as Ted Kooser, Mary Oliver and Dorriane Laux.

Celeste Fletcher McHale, author of the award-winning The Secret to Hummingbird Cake said, “It transported me back to a time when I believed anything was possible and hope was tangible.”

The University of West Alabama’s Livingston Press published Hopscotch last month. Copies are available at Scuppernong Books and from Amazon and Barnes and Noble. !

Special Blood takes an intimate approach to raising awareness

BY MARK BURGER Most people have never heard of hereditary angioedema, an inherited blood disorder in which victims suffer periodic attacks of swelling and discomfort. Not only is it rare, affecting only one in 10,000 to 50,000, but its symptoms are frequently misdiagnosed. It’s a confounding and potentially fatal condition, but not an untreatable one – if properly diagnosed.

In 2008, award-winning filmmaker Natalie Metzger began considering a documentary about HAE. It wasn’t an impulsive decision, but she knew that she could bring a certain personal insight because she suffers from the disorder.

Metzger wanted to establish an objective standpoint by focusing on four HAE sufferers other than herself: Ava Levy, Noah Davis-Logan, Kelsie Neahring and Lora Moore. The film looks at their lives, their families and how they’ve dealt with HAE. “This was one of the most important things to me in the process of making the film,” Metzger said. “I wanted to tell an underdog story that was entertaining as well as educational, something that people could relate to on a universal level.

I wanted to give a human face to this crazy disease and not dwell too much on the tragedies, but instead to show people conquering adversity together.”

For more than a year, Metzger has been touring with Special Blood to film festivals and special screenings around the world, including one last October at the The Grand 18 in Winston-Salem, a screening organized by Winston-Salem resident Kelly Graves, also a sufferer of HAE. As Metzger related during the postscreening discussion at The Grand 18, “It’s all about raising awareness, one screening at a time,” Metzger said.

The film’s recent release on DVD and Video On Demand on the website will give it an even larger audience, further raising awareness.

Metzger cowrote the screenplay with her fiance Robert Allaire, who also composed the film’s score. Allaire counts Cliff Martinez, Ennio Morricone and Trent Reznor as composers who have inspired him, and cites John Williams’ Oscarnominated score for the 1991 film, JFK as a special inspiration for Special Blood. He wanted it to accentuate and augment the story, but not overwhelm it.

Quartet explores NC pride on their new album

BY JOHN ADAMIAN | @johnradamian

I

f you’re smart, talented, creative, cool and you live in North Carolina, Terrance Richard really wants you to stay here. Richard, frontman and singer of Charlotte indie-rock quartet Junior Astronomers, has seen too many interesting people leave the state for other places with more progressive politics, bigger cities with more well-known music scenes and for work in the arts.

Brain drain. Soul drain.

Those mixed feelings, loving a place but also wanting it to be better, to not have it represent policies that are hostile to minorities, to immigrants, to the LGBTQ community, to not have big business and religious hypocrisy trump the values of charity, forgiveness and community — many North Carolinians can relate.

But Richard is in a band, and he travels the country playing music to people from many other places. Junior Astronomers have a new record, Pyramid Party, their second full length, which comes out this week.

Richard and his bandmates have incorporated complicated misgivings about

where you live and the defiant hope for it, part of the music.

“It’s definitely a recurring theme,” Richard said. “The whole record is kind of about Charlotte, about loving the city, wanting to leave, wanting to stay.”

Charlotte is North Carolina’s biggest city, of course, but the music scene from the Queen City has often struggled with, if not an identity problem, then a slight sense of spurned-stepchild syndrome.

Charlotte is not Chapel Hill. Charlotte is not Asheville. Charlotte is not Athens.

Charlotte is not Atlanta. Charlotte is not Nashville. And so on. It’s not exactly a college town. It’s not a freak mecca. It’s a banking city. Musicians generally don’t flock to Charlotte and many have fled.

“I’ve watched maybe 40 or 50 of my favorite creatives leave town,” Richard said. “Before they left I would sit down with them and talk to them.”

Perhaps the band’s defining “Save North Carolina” song is an older anti-HB2 track called “FPM,” which stands for “Fuck Pat McCrory.”

Some of the lines on that one go like this: “The capitol is in control/They tax us to fix our roads/ Why can’t you just fix our

state … so we can stay… I love my state but I’d rather be awake.”

But it’s not like Richard and Junior Astronomers are political activists. Their music, which is both emotional and arty, melodic and unafraid to be jarring or abrasive, is about their lives. The burbling bass lines and jagged guitar lines on songs like “An Idea” are almost proggy in their sucker-punch force.

Richard is 29 years old, and the music reflects the late-twenties sense of searching, the partying, the ups and downs of excess and the uncertainty about whether getting delirious is a sustainable longterm way of pursuing happiness.

Staying out late and drinking a bunch, the festive feeling can be ecstatic, but the warmth and fellowship can morph fast. As any dime-store substance-abuse counselor will tell you, sometimes the desperate quest for a good time is just an effort to mask a bad feeling at one’s core.

“We celebrate so much — we celebrate at the wrong times,” Richard said about the theme of slightly forlorn merry-making. “Especially for me, when I celebrate so much I start thinking in my head, ‘Why am I partying this much?’”

The title track is a party song, Richard’s house is called The Pyramid, and they have Pyramid parties regularly. But this one is about throwing a party to impress someone who might not even show and feeling morose when they don’t. Is there anything sadder, from an indie-dude perspective, than a carefully curated playlist designed to impress or woo someone who doesn’t bother to listen?

The right song, the right lyric — these are aesthetic concerns, but they’re also matters of identity for Richard. And that sense of identity is bound up in a sense of place, too.

Part of the reason that Richard feels invested in the music scene in Charlotte and in North Carolina is that music and the aggregation of clubs and musicians and fans sort of gave him a direction.

As a high school student who was into poetry — Walt Whitman and Pablo Neruda — Richard didn’t necessarily feel like he fit in. Seeing one of his future bandmates play at a battle of the bands for their high school flicked a switch with Richard: This was a clear way to make passionate writing that connected with people.

“I was a writer. I wrote poetry,” Richard

said. “I was like, ‘I can’t make money off this and survive,’ I was like ‘I’m gonna sing and make music.’ I told my parents that: I’m gonna finish high school, but I’m not gonna do anything else because I just wanna play music.”

As an African-American in the predominantly white world of indie rock, Richard says the DIY/punk scene in Charlotte nurtured him as an artist.

“Being around a community like that, it felt comforting,” Richard said.

As a singer, Richard does some curious things with his voice. Sometimes he delivers lines with a droopy reserve, but more often he pushes his voice to emphatic places, where it rises high or starts to break in expressive ways. He sometimes brings to mind the eclectic English hip hop artist and singer King Krule. He might also conjure a more full-voiced Julian Casablancas.

Richard sees a kinship between singing and movie acting. Sometimes it’s the subtle touches, the nonverbal qualities to a voice — the texture, the timbre, the drive behind it — that make it compelling.

“I listen to a lot of soul, and a lot of it reminds me of how I felt when I was younger about punk,” Richard said.

“You’re making a vibe. Either the vibe is aggressive or the vibe is melancholy. I look at vocals as an instrument. It’s about making the vibe. That’s what I try to do.”

you are and what shaped you, it’s central to how Richard thinks about what he and Junior Astronomers do. “How can you leave a place that made you the way you are?” he asks.

When bands leave the state and try to succeed in bigger, more music-centric cities, Richard said sometimes he hears a change in their sound, a mysterious loss of something, and he says “they’re drinking the wrong water.”

In terms of how a place can shape a sound, the new record was recorded at Mitch Easter’s Fidelitorium in Kernersville, adding another layer of North Carolina sonic essence to the story.

Richard might be an unlikely spokesperson for the Tar Heel State, as an indie rocker who spends much of his time elsewhere, on tour, on the road, but he wants, yes, a unified scene.

“That’s what I’m fighting for, if it means, as a state, coming together as local artists, let’s do it together,” Richard said.

If you’re thinking of packing your bags to move to Portland or Brooklyn or Marfa or Montreal, Richard has a few words for you, “We want people to stick around and help out. Don’t leave. Fight with us.” !

Truth, justice and the Amazonian way

BY MATT BRUNSON

he superhero saga Wonder Woman ( ) is the right movie at the right time — and for all the right reasons.

Following the underwhelming trio of Suicide Squad, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and especially Man of Steel, it’s the first movie in the DC Expanded Universe worthy of its guaranteed box office riches.

Following the desultory likes of Catwoman, Elektra and (going waaaay back) Supergirl, it’s the first decent superhero film centered on a female protagonist.

Following a rash of genre flicks that mistake nihilism for gravitas, it’s one of the few to unequivocally maintain that there’s still a place for uncompromised champions in our world.

Following ... well, nothing, actually ... it’s the first major superhero film directed by a woman (unless one wants to make the argument that Punisher: War Zone, helmed

by Lexi Alexander, was “major”).

And following a seven-month-andcounting period which could be tagged Orange Is the New Bleak — during which a misogynistic Cretin-In-Chief and his army

of racists, rapists, rednecks and reprobates continue to ratchet up the war on women — it proudly showcases a remarkable Gal who doesn’t suffer foolish men gladly. Just try grabbing her by the * ahem * and she’ll break your arm in three different places.

In the grand scheme of all things cinematically superheroic, Wonder Woman takes its cue from the greatest of all such films. Like 1978’s Superman, this new movie views its central figure as someone to admire without reservation. In true origin-story fashion, it begins with Diana still a little girl on Themyscira, the island home of the Amazonians. Diana basically has two mommies: her actual mother, Queen Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen), and her aunt Antiope (Robin Wright), who trains her to become a fierce warrior princess.

It’s after Diana has become an adult (played by Gal Gadot) that she receives her first glimpse of the outside world. That’s due to the sudden appearance of Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), an American pilot whose plane goes down in the surrounding waters. Rescued by Diana, he explains of the global conflict — World War I — that’s devastating the rest of the planet and how he himself was working undercover to infil-

trate a German factory where a new strain of deadly gas was being manufactured.

Believing that Ares, the God of War as well as the Amazonians’ Public Enemy #1, is behind this terrible conflict, Diana agrees to accompany Steve back to civilization in order to personally slay Ares and thus stop the war.

What follows are some of the most involving sequences seen in a superhero saga in many a multiplex moon. Perfectly embodied by Gadot, Princess Diana (tagged Diana Prince by Steve in an attempt to make her not stand out so much; good luck with that!) is compassionate and curious — a winning combination in any person. Her “Crocodile” Dundee-like introduction to bustling London life leads to some amusing interludes (a baby! ice cream! revolving doors!), and Pine expertly plays off her delight at new discoveries by having Steve respond with a disarming mix of amusement and admiration.

Directed by Patty Jenkins (who previously guided Charlize Theron to a Best Actress Oscar for 2003’s Monster) from a screenplay by Allan Heinberg, Wonder Woman is more straightforward in its narrative spinning than most superhero

flicks of late, with (aside from the bookend scenes) none of the cross-pollination that has lately been turning these films into the big-screen equivalents of Dallas-Knots Landing or Buffy the Vampire Slayer-Angel.

In many ways, though, this streamlining places more urgency on the matters at hand, in effect charging them with greater emotional weight. The “No Man’s Land” sequence is superb not only in its staging as an action set-piece but also in its sociopolitical ramifications, as a visibly distraught Diana wages a battle for the displaced refugees that everyone else is either unable or unwilling to help.

If there’s a significant flaw in Wonder Woman, it’s one that plagues the vast majority of these superhero yarns. After approximately two hours of smoothly mixing action and exposition, the end buckles under the weight of CGI overkill.

Here’s another battle royale that wears out its welcome, and trimming it by even five minutes would have been appreciated. Still, that’s about the only complaint that can be lobbed at Wonder Woman, an exciting and empowering film that stops the current trend of only DC’s competition producing marvelous entertainment. !

Making a living off ink

BY KATIE MURAWSKI | katie@yesweekly.com

T

he life of an artist, regardless of the medium, is not as easy as one may think. For 10 years, a Greensboro tattoo artist has struggled to make a living with some ink and a buzzing needle.

Brandon Webb is 28 years old and has been working for one year at Infamous Ink inside the Four Seasons Mall. Webb said his passion for tattooing came from his love of drawing and sketching at 16 years old. Webb decided to drop out of high school and shortly after, entered the workforce. Webb said he could never hold down a real job because he kept getting laid off and nothing had really stuck.

“I kind of just like lost faith that I would ever get anything,” Webb said. “My mom told me to use my art and I was always like, ‘I don’t know how, what could I do?’”

When he turned 17, he bought his first tattoo kit off eBay and started practicing on his friends.

“My friend Robert Jones let me do my first tattoo on him when I got my kit. I colored in a cross he had on his arm,” Webb said. “It was horrible, I chewed him up and he let me work it out and fix it years later.”

During this time, he moved from Raleigh to High Point and was living out of his car for two years. After going through multiple jobs, Webb was 18 when Dallas Morris at Tattoo City in High Point gave him his first real job as a tattoo artist.

Webb said he did not find himself until he figured out how to tattoo.

“I worked there for 3 years and I tattooed myself everyday for a month before he let me tattoo my first client,” Webb said. “I did my whole left arm and right leg and once I did this, I realized this is what I was going to do and I have been tattooing for 10 years now,” Webb said.

Webb said after his time at Tattoo City, he entered the vicious cycle again with trying to find a long-term job. After no success, he decided to start tattooing out of his home.

“I just never thought I would ever find a shop that I’d be successful at,” Webb said.

“I wanted to give up tattooing because I could not make a living out of it.”

Webb moved to a shop Thomasville called, Just Inked and worked there for four years. He believes Just Inked is what put him on the map in the tattoo world as far as getting his name and brand out there.

Tammy Johnson, the shop manager and piercer at Infamous Ink reached out to Webb via Instagram and had asked him to

After some misfortune at that shop, Webb took her up on the offer.

“That shop closed down and I didn’t know what happened, the doors and lights were off and they had stolen everything I owned,” Webb said. “I had to start over again when I came here, the owners helped me get back on my feet and if it wasn’t for Chris I would probably still be homeless.”

The week he had started at Infamous

Ink, he was living in a hotel for the first month. After a month of working there, his luck finally turned around drastically.

He attributes some of this success to the shops location in the mall where he said “gets incredible traffic.”

“It has been a rough road up and down as far as surviving in this business,” Webb said. “This shop really hit it off for me.”

Webb describes his art style as realism, and it has always been that way. He said he always loved drawing portraits as a kid.

Now, he really likes to do color portraits and said those are his main niche.

Webb said out of all his tattoos, which span from his left shoulder and right leg down, his favorite tattoo is the one over his eye that says devotion.

“I am devoted to this until the day I die,” Webb said. “I have devoted my life to tattooing and I can say that 100 percent there is nothing else I would want to do.”

Johnson said Webb is an amazing artist with a big heart. She said they are a family and not just coworkers.

“I adopted Brandon a year ago,” Johnson said. “I am the only female in the shop and I kind of took on a motherly role. I try to look out for him, help him with his finances and maintain in general. I mother him.”

Johnson said Webb looks at things so differently than everybody else. Tattooing for him is like paint by number, Johnson said, it is so simple for him because it is like second nature to him.

“He is under appreciated for his art,” Johnson said. “At this point in his life, I feel like Brandon should be so much further, but I feel like there was nobody there to help him out and that is what we wanted to do, we all found our home together.”

Shawn Wright is a tattoo artist at Infamous Ink and he describes Webb as an awesome guy.

“His art is phenomenal, I have learned a few things from him since I have been here,” Wright said. “He makes it look so easy, he makes anyone feel like they can do it, like they can go home and try it.

Webb and Wright both agreed that at tattoo shop, artists do not really get along.

“So, when find artists that get along, that is when you got family,” Webb said. !

CVA Gallery’s 100 for 100 Fundraiser makes art for all

BY MIA OSBORN The gallery of Greensboro’s Center for Visual Artists held its seventh annual 100 for 100 fundraiser Friday, June 2 from 6-9pm. The event draws in artists from all over the country to donate pieces of their original 10 inch by 10 inch artwork to be sold for $100 each during the one night sale.

The fundraiser looks like a traditional art exhibit, except that the artwork flies off the walls on a first-come, first-serve basis.

“One-hundred for 100, to me, is generally the most fun visual art show of the year in Greensboro,” gallery board member and art collector Arthur Erikson, said.

Proceeds from pieces sold will fund the gallery’s lineup of exhibitions and arts outreach. The fundraiser was dreamed up by CVA gallery curator Kristy Thomas.

Each year, Thomas coordinates with dozens of artists who have ties to the Triad in order to bring the show to life.

“Most of these artists are members, but you don’t have to be,” said CVA gallery

executive director Katie Lank. “Artists will move away but still want to do this show.”

Artists from the 2017 show ranged in location from Greensboro, Asheville and Charlotte to as far away as Texas, Washington and New York. One-hundred 10-by-10 canvases, donated by Blick Art Supplies, were distributed to artists to do whatever they liked.

The canvases returned transformed by a huge variety of mediums and styles.

Some artists broke apart the canvas to build three-dimensional art onto the frame. Some discarded the frame altogether in favor of a 10-by-10 piece in an unframed medium, such as metal or glass.

Lank and Thomas are always impressed by the creativity of the artists who participate, as well as their generosity.

“You’ve gotta think, the only thing we’re giving them is the canvas,” Lank said. “All the other materials are their own cost, their time is at their own cost, but then they give it back to us. So their contribution is above what we give them initially.”

The $100 price tag is low, especially for established artists. The appeal of a

good deal helps the fundraiser appeal to everyone, from first time art buyers to professionals such as Erikson.

“Because the price is set, this is a show where it is possible to acquire work by people who would never otherwise sell for so little money,” Erikson said. “Jim Gallucci comes to mind as an otherwise not very accessible artist, price-wise.”

Erikson views 100 for 100 as a great opportunity to scope out several works from different artists in different mediums all at once, without breaking the bank and not alone in this line of thought.

“We have a couple that become members every year just to get in early to buy work from this show,” Lank said.

Lank said their goal is to have 100 and they have artists that they come back and try to collect every year.

In years past, 100 for 100 was spread out over two days. CVA Gallery members shopped the works on Thursday night and on Friday, the pieces that were left went on sale to the public.

This year, the members-only viewing was held just an hour before the public

show opened at 6 p.m. Thomas sees this shift as a way to streamline the event while giving people, who might not otherwise consider membership, a good reason to take the leap.

“If people outside get antsy, they can just pay to become a member and come get something they like,” Thomas said.

Membership not only grants early access to 100 for 100, but also to the gallery’s year-round arts programming. But the thrill of scooping up one-of-a-kind pieces is enough reason for many.

“There is some sense of urgency to it all.

Mulling over a piece for a long time risks someone else snatching it out from under you,” Erikson said. “There is some of the vibe of an auction, which some might find anxiety-provoking, but I think is exciting.”

The CVA Gallery is located inside the Greensboro Cultural Center on North Davie Street in downtown Greensboro. For more information about the CVA or to become a member, visit www.greensboroart.org. !

Local pastor’s new film tells the story of Amazing Grace writer

BY EVA ELLENBURG Most people know the song “Amazing Grace,” but few know the story of the man behind the famous hymn. Local director and Trinity Moravian Church’s pastor John Jackman is determined to change that.

In his new film Newton’s Grace, Jackman brings to life the fascinating story of John Newton, the song’s creator and a rebel turned spiritual leader. Made by Inspirata Films, it’s the first movie to use Newton’s journey as the main plot rather than a backstory.

Although Jackman knew about the “Amazing Grace” writer’s journey from a young age, he didn’t think about making it into a film until 2004. That year, he watched a one-man show depicting Newton’s life, But Now I See, and was encouraged by the playwright to make it into a film.

Jackman thought the play wouldn’t translate well onto screen, but he still wanted to tell Newton’s redemptive story of faith.

“It is a story of God’s very generous grace to a person who continued to screw up again and again and again, so that, to me, is the important message,” Jackman said.

Raised in 18th century England by an unstable family, Newton was a troublemaker as a young boy.

“I guess today we would say he was an impulse-disorder teenager—no forethought, he would just do things and was often rather violent and got in lots of trouble,” Jackman said.

Newton was later forced into the Royal Navy, where his attempts at desertion

and mutiny resulted in the captain trading him into slavery in West Africa. After living as a slave for several years, Newton was rescued and, during a storm at sea, converted to Christianity.

Newton became a captain of a slave ship himself but later started questioning the morality of the slave trade. Jackman said although the immorality of slavery is obvious to people today, Newton’s way of thinking was revolutionary at the time.

“It’s hard for us to look back from our vantage point and have the mentality that they had in the 18th century because everybody just thought it was okay,” Jackman said. “There wasn’t any question about it for most people, and so he started to question it on his own.”

Newton went on to become a prominent pastor and abolitionist, eventually writing “Amazing Grace” and other wellknown hymns.

Because many important events in Newton’s life took place at sea, Jackman vowed to not start the filmmaking process until he found an authentic tall ship to use on set. After years of contacting people about nearly every tall ship in the U.S. and Canada, the director found one in Nova Scotia that fit his small budget.

Finances for Newton’s Grace came from the Christian History Institute and Comenius Foundation. Richard Clabaugh, the film’s director of photography, said Jackman was determined to fulfill his vision for the film, despite the tight budget.

“This was a period piece, which made it particularly challenging with the limited resources we had, but John is nothing if not ambitious,” Clabaugh said.

Using Newton’s autobiography, the film

crew wrote a new script that differed from the theater version. Production officially began in 2013, and much of the film was shot in North Carolina locations such as Winston-Salem, Caswell Beach and Fort Macon.

Besides the limited finances, Clabaugh said another challenge of the period film was avoiding any signs of modern life during filming.

“You can’t just go out on the street and set up a tripod—you’ve got to get everyone in costume; you have to make sure you don’t see cars or anything that violates the period,” Clabaugh said.

Clabaugh hopes Newton’s transition from slave to slave trader to abolitionist shows audiences how difficult experiences can shape someone into a better human being.

“Sometimes we think hard times make us turn bad, and I think what this shows is that sometimes hard experiences can open our eyes to the plight of others and the situations they’re in and help us realize a better sense of empathy,” Clabaugh said.

Because the script is taken from his autobiography, an older Newton reflects on his past experiences in the film and makes sense of them. Although it’s a story of a Christian’s journey, Jackman said the film’s themes are universal.

“It shows him making sense and perceiving a larger picture in his life, and I think that whatever religion you are, that’s part of what’s going on—we’re finding the meaning in life,” Jackman said. “Even if you’re not religious, most people are trying to figure out what their lives mean. That transcends cultures and language and race and everything else.”

The film premiered June 3 at the Reynolds Auditorium in Winston-Salem and is now available on Amazon. A sing-along to “Amazing Grace” took place at the premiere’s conclusion.

Jackman said he thinks watching the film about Newton will make the hymn even more powerful for those who know it.

“The words of ‘Amazing Grace’ are so much more meaningful if you know the reversals this guy went through and how awful his early life was,” Jackman said.

“When he talks about ‘sinners like me,’ he really meant it.” !

JUNE 7-13, 2017

[HOROSCOPES]

[GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Mercury, your planetary ruler, entered your sign yesterday. Mercury travels rapidly through Gemini between June 6 and June 21, 2017. During this time there likely will be greater emphasis on communications, errands, and other short distance travels.

Your mind will be quick and your attitude persuasive.

[SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Give special attention to the lead paragraph because Jupiter is your planetary ruler. Now that it is turning direct in your partnership house, making decisions concerning relationships will be much easier. The next few months may bring a beneficial business partnership, more clientele, or a marriage.

[CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Mars, the warrior, entered your sign on June 3, 2017 and will be traveling with you for seven weeks. This energy is especially helpful in defining our boundaries. Periodically we need to examine who we are as well as who we are not. Often something is eliminated. In general, it increases your courage and physical strength.

[CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You occasionally confuse what you think with who you are. There are those who will disagree with you this week. Just don’t let it become a battle to the death.

Your identity is not at stake in this situation. You may not like what is happening, but you can choose a better time later to argue the point.

[LEO (July 23 to August 22) This is a time of focus on your health and the routine maintenance of life’s routines.

(Yawn) Fire signs rarely want to handle details in any form. However, the message is clearly there. You must attend to these areas or eventually pay a price for not doing so.

[AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) This is a week in which you will tend to be thinking obsessively. It is an opportunity to learn how to better control your mind. Shift your attention to something less dramatic, such as whatever is happening this moment, rather than worrying over what might happen in the future.

[VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your attention turns toward your life direction now. For many this is reflected by the career path. You may be researching needed information or talking with others about where you are headed. Your work is noticed and you may be the recipient of compliments and support by the end of this week.

[PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You may feel as though you came from another planet this week. Communications may be misunderstood, snarled, or lost altogether. Compensate for this problem by concentrating on speaking the truth as you know it, and listening very carefully to what the other tells you. Then reflect what you heard, just to be sure.

[LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Venus, your ruling planet, enters the eighth sector and will remain there until July 4, 2017. This suggests favorable influences and opportunities related to debt payments, gifts, or other financial resources that come through other people.

It includes investments, debts owed to you, and insurance payoffs. Relationships take on a more intense role.

[ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a time in which your partner is on your side and things are flowing well between you.

It is a good period for coming to agreement on circumstances that have been issues in the past. You may be especially enjoying music or the arts together. Intimacy brings you closer together now.

[SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Mars, one of your ruling planets, enters your ninth house for 7 weeks. You will notice a shift into a new direction. It will likely be related to contacting people at a distance, preparing to travel, seeking professional advice, or focused on education.

This position of Mars leans us toward a heavy accelerator foot. Attend to driving within the speed limit.

[TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Venus entered your sign yesterday and will travel “with you” through July 4, 2017. The subject of relationship will be very important as you move forward through this time. If you have issues with a partner, this is the time to lay them out on the table so the two of you can look at how better to deal with them. Negotiate but do not accuse or bring in secondary issues.

Wedding His Appetite

I have this disturbing pattern.

I’ve dated three different guys, each of whom said he didn’t want to get married, wasn’t ready, whatever. But then, the next girl they met...

BAM! Walking down the aisle. Why am I marriage boot camp but never the one the guy marries? — Aisle Seat

Amy Alkon

Advice Goddess

It’s depressing when the only place you’re ever “registered” is at the DMV. There’s a reason you suspect your experience is a meaningful pattern, and it’s the same reason people think they see the Virgin Mary in their toast. Our minds are meaning-making machines.

We evolved to be deeply uncomfortable with uncertainty — probably because an uncertain world is a more dangerous world. Say a man hands you some blue liquid in a glass. You’re all, “Hmmm... should I drink that or take it home in case I ever need to dissolve a dead body in the bathtub?”

We figure out what things are by looking for patterns — ways that the things match up to things we’ve encountered before. So, regarding that blue liquid, yes, Drano is blue, but it isn’t sold in a martini glass and garnished with a tiny paper umbrella. Also, bartenders keep their job by having you pay your tab, not having

you carried out in convulsions by a couple of EMS dudes.

Although our mind’s tendency to recognize patterns helps us quickly identify threats and opportunities, it often does this too quickly and on too little evidence. Neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga and psychologist Daniel Kahneman each caution that our mind is so intent on having things be concrete that when we’re faced with ambiguous or incomplete information, it will invent a tidy explanation to fill in the blanks. Your mind may be doing that now in seeing a meaningful pattern in guys sweeping you off your feet and then, like that annoying shopper who’s just reached the register, their going: “Ooops...don’t want this one. Gonna run and grab the other one.

Sorrreeeeee!”

However, epidemiologist and stats ninja Sander Greenland reminded me that just because we’re prone to see a pattern where there is none doesn’t mean a particular pattern isn’t meaningful (as opposed to occurring randomly — by coincidence, like if you tossed a coin and got heads three times in a row).

One way you figure out whether something is due to coincidence or is a real effect is by having lots of examples of it. If you’d dated 10 men who’d left you to marry somebody else, it might say something. Might. But three? Greenland points out that in looking at what seems to be a pattern, “we tend to forget the times it didn’t happen (like before we started noticing the claimed pattern).”

Also, if you believe there’s a pattern — that you’re a sort of fruit bin where men go to ripen — maybe you start acting

differently because of it, coloring your results. (Self-fulfilling prophecy kinda thing: “Why try? He’ll be outta here anyway.”)

In short, maybe this is a meaningful pattern or maybe it is not. What you can explore is whether there are patterns in your behavior that could be tripping you up. There are three biggies that research suggests can be relationship killers.

Blatant Boy-Chasing: Men often claim they like it when women ask them out.

However, research suggests that this may permanently lower a woman’s worth in a man’s eyes. Men value women who are hard to get, not those who eagerly pursue them — sometimes with all the subtlety of a golden retriever chasing a hot dog down a hill.

Being Hard To Be Around: A review of research on personality by psychologist John M. Malouff finds three characteristics that are likely to eat away at a relationship: neuroticism (a psych term for being nervous, chronically distressed, and volatile), a lack of conscientiousness (being disorganized, unreliable, and lacking in self-control), and disagreeableness (being an unpleasant, egotistical, hostile

and argumentative mofo).

The Undercooked Man: Behavioral science research supports the evolutionary theory that women — even today — prioritize male partners who can “invest” (a preference that men coevolved to expect). For example, marriage researchers Barbara Dafoe Whitehead and David Popenoe find that “men want to be financially ‘set’ before they marry.”

Career attainment and stability are likely a major part of this. So, unfortunately, a relationship with a man in transition can end up being a sort of FEMA tent on the road to permanent housing.

Ultimately, instead of deeming yourself death row for “happily ever after,” try to choose wisely and be a valuable (rather than costly) partner. That’s really your best bet for eventually walking down the aisle — and not just to hear, “Do you take this woman ... till the last of your nine little lives do you part?”
