COMMUNITY BLOOD CENTER OF THE CAROLINAS BY JESSICA CLIFFORD

Giving part of yourself can save another, and at the Community Blood Center of the Carolinas in Greensboro, that is exactly what they have been doing for the past three years. The CBCC originally started at a Charlotte location in 2001 and has since branched out to other cities. The CBCC of Greensboro is a nonprofit, local blood supplier primarily for hospitals in the Cone Health System of Greensboro. “The biggest thing that sets us apart is blood donation,” said Larice White, a donor recruiter of CBCC of Greensboro. “Is it stays in the local community we serve.” Their main goals are to coordinate blood drives with local companies, colleges and high schools, teach at wellness fairs and provide scholarship opportunities. White and her donor partner, Lauren Lambeth, are constantly networking and hoping to get referrals for their services. White and Lambeth said their love for saving lives is what drives them every day. “I can go home and think I saved a life,” White said. Both partners promote blood donation, especially if someone’s body meets the requirements necessary to donate. “There is no substitution for blood,” Lambeth said. “It has to come from a voluntary source. It can’t be manufactured.” The partners believe many people do not donate because they are never asked. The process of donating does not take long either, “[It is an] hour less of your time to give that life-saving blood,” White said. All blood types are welcome; however, the nonprofit is always in need of O-negative and platelet donors. For more information about donating blood or registering for a blood drive with the CBCC of Greensboro, visit their website at www.savinglocallives.com. !

Triadfoodies Chef’s Table: Vin 205

ucked in the corner of Stratford Towers shopping center on South Stratford Road in Winston-Salem, sits a bistro that has come into its own. Vin 205 Farm Kristi Maier to Table Bistro aims @triadfoodie to be a major player in Winston-Salem’s rapidly growing Contributor culinary scene. Wine Merchants and Vin 205 have been nestled together at 205 South Stratford since 2011. What started out as a wine shop even before its current location evolved into a wine shop and market with a restaurant. Reviews for the restaurant were pretty good, however, it often played second fiddle. Over the past year, ownership has changed hands and a new chef has taken the helm. Managing partner Caleb Flint, said it’s been a process. “With a side-by-side like we have here,” he said. “It’s been interesting to develop a vision for what we think it should be, but we’re very happy with what we’ve come up with.” What they’ve come up with is the same great wine shop that its customers have come to know and love, but with even more locally sourced cheeses, some local chocolate as well as a fantastic selection of local heritage and grass-fed meat in its freezer.

“We feature Joyce Farms meats and imported as well as domestically-sourced boutique cheeses,” he said. “Soon we’ll be selling our own blend of coffee from Magic Beans.” A few weeks ago, we attended a Wine to Swine wine dinner and walked away with our bellies full and a wine experience that was like no other. These guys know how to pair food with the incredible wine offerings from the market. Then not long after, we popped in again, kid in tow, on a Friday night to hear live music and for some charcuterie and salad. The ingredients were super-fresh with lots of local

sourcing on both occasions. We knew that Chef Oren Feuerberg and Vin 205 would give us a great evening of surprises. Chef Oren Feuerberg was born in Cincinnati and spent 15 years following culinary school in Arizona before he moved to Winston-Salem with his wife little over a year ago. He’d been in the kitchen of Quanto Basta in Advance when Flint scooped him up in February to create a new vision. “It’s hard to explain what it’s like to come into a place and be asked to bring new life into it. It’s interesting and challenging.” He said. “If you can claim farm to table and actually be farm-to-table,

it’s a button in your collar and we are absolutely doing everything we can do to source locally here. If they picked it from the garden this morning and it still has dirt on it, that’s what we want.” So, it was a night of super fresh ingredients with Winston-Salem based Joyce Farms on great display. Even Joyce Farms president Ron Joyce was there to speak to the folks about their poultry, pork and grass-fed beef program, which, in addition to the market is available online for home delivery. Here’s a look at the courses at Vin 205, played out in acts, all family-style.

ACT 3

Poulet Rouge Roulade Roasted Potatoes Fresh Corn Grits Spicy Greens I’m telling you if you haven’t had a chance to get your hands on the Poulet Rouge at Joyce Farms, you need to do it. We simply cannot explain how tender this chicken is. We got to pass around, family-style, these lovely dishes with the colorful mix of potatoes and the creamiest, dreamiest grits. Perfection.

ACT 4

Homemade Sweets More specifically, a collection of desserts such as bread pudding, cherry almond bar, coconut cream pie and a very boozy, coffee-laden tiramisu made with Magic Beans coffee. The team sent out a round of bubbly to pair it all with. It was then that I learned that sparkling wine loves a cherry almond bar. Homemade Sweets

ACT 1

House pickles Cheese Charcuterie Wings Two-ways Seriously, I could just eat meals like this five days a week. With house-made crackers, the charcuterie and cheese were fantastic. The pate on the board was a fromage tete, or head cheese. Head cheese isn’t cheese at all, but a terrine from the head of a pig. It’s pretty freaky and complicated, but it was so luscious. We saw photos of the baby in its pot while becoming head cheese after everyone had gone home. If you ever get a chance to have these beautiful little-frenched chicken drummettes they make a fun, easy-to-eat take on chicken wings. The two ways featured a buffalo style and a sweet and spicy.

ACT 2

Duck style chicken Au gratin Cherry Gastrique Green Beans This was more like a meal with the acclaimed Joyce Farms Poulet Rouge Fermier. The crispy skin with succulent meat on the inside made almost confit-like and a lovely cherry gastrique. This course with the huge layered gratin and green beans would make a perfect supper.

From the looks on the faces and the reports back we got from the guests, it appears Vin 205 has some new customers. “I was very impressed and I’m looking forward to returning to try Chef Oren’s food here again soon,” Keith Dillworth said. “It was all delicious.” Truly, get over to this restaurant, check them out for a quick, relaxing bite with some wine or beer and don’t miss a chance to enjoy brunch or live music, you’ll want to hang out. Flint said more improvements and changes are on the way. “We’re diverse and eclectic,” he said. “We definitely have some ideas in mind for the future. We’re putting some additional wine taps in the store, a growler program for beer and wine and some fun new retail stuff.” The Chef’s Table was such a hit that the guys at Vin 205 want to do it again. So, look for a future event in January when we kick off the new year with “Brunch and Bubbles.” The next Triadfoodies Chef’s Table will be on Tuesday, Nov. 13 featuring Chef John Wilson at Sofie’s Cork & Ale in downtown Lexington. !

Review of May It Last: A Portrait of The Avett Brothers

BY CAROLE PERKINS

t may come as no surprise to fans of North Carolina’s Avett Brothers that their recently released documentary, May It Last: A Portrait of The Avett Brothers, landed on Rolling Stones Magazines’ list of 20 Must-See Movie To Catch at the Austin-based film festival SXSW. After all, many of us fans have watched with dogged affection as brothers Scott and Seth Avett and bassist Bob Crawford ascended to fame from performing small venues like the local Green Bean to headlining shows at Madison Square Garden and other major festivals. May It Last is an intimate diary chronicling the Avett Brothers collaboration and friendship with producer Rick Rubin on their multi-Grammy nominated 2016 album, “True Sadness.” The documentary earned co-directors and co-producers Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio accolades in the ethos of humanist cinema as well as nods to editor Paul Little’s elaborate work pruning hundreds of hours of footage over the course of four years. The film is a portrait set in a timeline starting with the band’s first day recording “True Sadness” in Asheville, North Carolina, to laying down the last tracks at Rubin’s studio in Malibu, California. Along the way, fans steal glimpses into the lives of the Avett’s and their families, witness the band’s growth with new touring bandmates and experience the support

that lifted Crawford’s family up through their daughter’s brain tumor diagnosis. One of the highlights of the documentary is watching Scott and Seth collaborate on the song, “I Wish I Was.” A true act of brotherly love, they all but finish each other’s verses with what appears to be pure mental telepathy. It is an “aha” moment for fans. Another gem is the scene when older brother Scott tries his best to unscrew a bottle top, finally hands it to Seth who comically opens it with little effort. Their laughter is contagious. The bond of sharing family values is the real essence of the documentary. It’s not just another made for T.V. film, it’s a soul-baring glimpse into the joy and

pathos into the hearts and souls of The Avett Brothers Band, their friends and families. To fully grasp an understanding of this bond is to go backwards in time. In 2003, The Avett Brothers released the album, “Carolina Jubilee” on their label Ramseur Records. (Dolphus Ramseur also appears in the documentary as a longtime friend and manager.) On track 15 of the album, Papa Jim Avett conducts a precious interview with 5-year-old Seth, 9-year-old Scott and their 12-year-old sister, Bonnie. Jim asked Seth about how he feels about starting kindergarten and riding the bus with Scott. “Now you won’t be left behind when

Scott leaves for school,” Jim said. “I hope he doesn’t hug and kiss me on the bus,” Scott replies. “He’s your little brother so let him kiss your face if he wants to,” Jim said. Then almost to himself Jim said aloud, “That will pass later.” Jim was right. His son’s obvious love and affection for each other is evident on and off the screen. In the film, Scott said he and Seth established trust very early as children. Their mother laughs as she recalls how Scott invented reasons to tag along when she and Seth ran errands in fear that Seth might be kidnapped. “It’s amazing that they’re brothers,” drummer Mike Marsh agreed. “I’ve never seen brothers get along that well.” In the final frame of the film, Scott, Seth and Bob are sitting outside with Rick Rubin. Seth is strumming his guitar and singing a song about C-Sections and Railroad Trestles while Rubin closes his eyes and sways to the music. Those of us in the audience are mesmerized. I didn’t think it was possible to adore the Avett Brothers more than I have for the last 10 years. But watching this documentary that reflects so eloquently their faith and love brings me to my knees with respect for them, not only as musicians but as the men they’ve become. May it last. May It Last is now playing at Apeture Cinema in Winston-Salem, the next showings are Sept. 20 and 21 at 9 p.m. !

UNCSA’s “magnificent seven” On Sept.22, the University of North Carolina School of the Arts School of Filmmaking will present a special selection of its best and brightest student films in the ACE Exhibition Complex Mark Burger in Winston-Salem. Given that these Contributing films were shot in and around the Piedcolumnist mont Triad, audiences will undoubtedly recognize some familiar landmarks and locations – to say nothing of the quality of work by these up-and-coming filmmakers. Just recently, the film school was recognized by two leading industry publications. The Hollywood Reporter ranked it at 14th place for the third in a row, and MovieMaker magazine placed it on its list of top 40 schools (listed alphabetically). “The quality of our student work is astounding,” stated Susan Ruskin, School of Filmmaking Dean, who curated the film selection. “It is very difficult to select just 90 minutes’ worth. The good news is we will present a second 90-minute screening in February, so we can showcase more of the excellent work by our students and their faculty mentors.” (The second showcase is scheduled for Feb. 9, 2018.) Seven shorts were selected for this presentation, which is free and open to the public. The fourth-year student selections are Coffee: An Opera, a three-story musical vignette set in a neighborhood coffee shop, written by Anthony Jenkins, produced by Peyton Marion and Marty McCarthy, and directed by Edward Loupe; Shades, a WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

two-character piece set in a small-town gas station one (seemingly) uneventful night, produced by Jason Thomas and Addison Sharp, written and directed by Dri Damasceno; and Supernova, a lighthearted, animated sci-fi fantasy featuring 3-D models by Isaac Phillips-London, produced by Marty McCarthy, directed by Gavin Lankford and Alek Kosinski. The third-year student selections are Miner Difficulties, an animated sci-fi romp in which two robots compete for the same resources, directed and animated by Scott Smoot; and Where Mothbloods Bloom, a drama about two disillusioned souls who connect, written by Grant Conversano (who also directed) and Kevin Cutrara, produced by Dorian Thomas and Cutrara. The second-year student selections are Mouth to Mouth, a comedy about a lifeguard whose attempts to impress the girl of his dreams are thwarted by a precocious child, written and directed by Nicholas Dardes, produced by Stacia Bohnert and Dardes; and Sight, a twisty thriller about two men tapped to clean up two bodies at a crime scene, only to discover a third, written by Brian Sheehan, produced by Katie Sanderson and Mike Rodway, directed by Aidan Weaver. !

The Grass Is Dead Play bluegrass versions of Grateful Dead songs

he Grass Is Dead is a Grateful Dead tribute band, but rather than trying to emulate the legendary San Francisco band, the Grass Is Dead does bluegrass John Adamian renditions of Dead @johnradamian tunes. In their own way, the country-flavored banjo-fueled Contributor Florida band is keeping the spirit of the Dead alive, having fun with the music and letting the songs wind their way into new settings. The Grass Is Dead play Greensboro’s Blind Tiger on Wednesday, Sept. 20 with special guest David Gans, a musician, songwriter, radio host and music journalist who has written about the Grateful Dead. I spoke by phone with drummer Brian Drysdale as the band made its way

to Vermont from New York last week. It might have been easy at one point to assume that the music of the Grateful Dead was a relic from the ‘60s and ‘70s (and later the ‘80s and ‘90s), an artifact of what was once the counterculture, with hippie overtones, connotations of

LSD, wandering packs of diehard fans, a tie-dyed micro-ecosystem that swirled on its own, at odds with and independent of the rest of the world. But the music of the Dead didn’t stop with the death in 1995 of founding member, guiding songwriter, singer and icon Jerry Garcia.

The songs of the Grateful Dead continue to ricochet and thread through the world, in all kinds of forms. Since the demise of the Dead, numerous tribute bands — dozens — have kept the wideopen, loose, groovy and improvisational spirit of the music alive. Last year saw the

release of Day of the Dead, an epic five-CD tribute featuring 59 covers of Grateful Dead tunes by mostly indie rock bands. It was yet another sign that the Dead’s music continues to pulse with light and life, influencing a generation of artists who mostly weren’t old enough to catch the Dead’s famously free-flowing live shows. Other indicators include a new fourpart documentary series about the Dead streaming on Amazon this year and recent books and memoirs by band members like drummer Bill Kreutzmann. Meanwhile, different configurations of surviving members of the band continue to tour and to team up with other musicians, showcasing the Deadhead side of pop stars like John Mayer and Joan Osborne. Despite all those permutations, as any Grateful Dead fan will tell you, there’s bluegrass baked into the music from the start. Garcia was, of course, a student of bluegrass, an accomplished banjo player as well as a talented and unique pedal steel guitar player. Garcia had numerous bluegrassinflected and old time-tinged side projects over the years. Many of the Dead’s iconic songs, like “Friend of the Devil,” “Ripple,” “Dire Wolf” and “High Time” have a country flavor that calls for banjo, mandolin and airy vocal harmonies. In addition to their fondness for traditional blues and early

rock ’n’ roll, the Dead routinely covered songs made famous by country artists like Merle Haggard and Hank Williams. The Grass Is Dead has been around for nearly 20 years. They started in 1998. Drysdale is a relative newcomer to the group, having been a member for only about two years. But his involvement with the Grass Is Dead, and his admiration for his bandmates, speaks to the way that the band embodies the ethos of both the Dead scene and the tradition of bluegrass. Drysdale, who attended high school at the North Carolina School of the Arts as a theater student, was a fan of the Grass Is Dead long before he ever joined the band. He met up with the members of the group at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in north Florida. “We all played at the campsites together informally over the years,” Drysdale said. His bandmates include founding member Billy Gilmore on banjo, mandolin, fiddle, pedal steel, guitar, vocals and more; Jared Womack on dobro and vocals; and Jon Murphy on bass and vocals. All share the music beyond just getting on stage to perform. Drysdale said that there’s an interest in teaching or playing with kids as young as 8, 9, or 10, in that informal festival-campground setting, casually working on music as a form of

social cohesion and cultural continuation. “That’s just kind of the spirit of bluegrass,” he said. It’s what Drysdale describes as a “community of pickers.” The communal aspect is part of the Grateful Dead scene as well, certainly. People know this music inside and out, and the fans have a deep connection to the songs, but they’re also willing and eager to see new interpretations of the music. So when The Grass Is Dead take a song like “Row Jimmy,” which in the Dead’s hands had a strange off-kilter reggae feel, the bluegrass iteration of it, with syncopated percussive mute-strumming on the mandolin and sweet harmonies, it all sounds like a fitting twist. The same can be said of the way The Grass Is Dead will make the backing instrumentation double-time on a song like “He’s Gone,” giving the song a peppy walking bass line and racing feel, while keeping the gentle phrasing of the original vocal. “We’re not trying to play it the way the Dead did, and at the same time we want to respect the tunes and the people that want to come hear them,” Drysdale said. “The Dead are our heroes, and it’s really humbling honestly [to participate in this tradition], there’s so many songs, a treasure trove of material. Just to be a part of it is a real honor.”

Drysdale said that a recent performance concluded with a version of “Ripple” in which the entire audience was singing along, with a palpable, timeless communal feel that gave him chills. While some might prefer live vintage bootleg recordings where others return to the Dead’s original studio albums, still others connect with these songs by listening to free-jazz renditions of the material, the occasional muscular punk take on the songs, or silky four-part vocal versions of the Dead songbook. Plenty of others enjoy the bluegrass tribute that bands like The Grass Is Dead offer. What’s becoming clear is that, as Drysdale puts it, 200 years from now, people will still probably be listening to the songs of the Grateful Dead. !

Fall film frenzy: The return of Rick Deckard, Queen Victoria ... and Madea! BY MATT BRUNSON

t got off to a strong start, and by “it,” we mean both the fall film season and the Stephen King cinematic property that broke several box office records when it opened on Sept. 8. The fall season continued with Friday’s releases of mother! and American Assassin and will end in October, as November will see the launch of the year-end commercial and/or critical behemoths (jump-started by Thor: Ragnarok on Nov. 3). In the meantime, here’s a checklist of the wide releases we can expect to see over the course of the next six weeks.

Dave Franco and Jackie Chan are among those lending their vocals to The LEGO Ninjago Movie, in which The Green Ninja must defeat an evil warlord known as Garmadon, The Worst Guy Ever ... And we would be remiss if we didn’t mention that the Charlotte Film Festival opens on this date and runs through Oct. 1; among the many events on the schedule is the Sept. 23 international debut of Feral, a horror flick written and directed by former Charlottean Mark Young and co-written by current Charlottean (and former Creative Loafing video-game columnist) Adam Frazier. SEPTEMBER 29: Tom Cruise reunites with Edge of Tomorrow director Doug Liman for American Made, a fact-based tale about the CIA’s unlikeliest covert operative ...

North Carolina’s first hemp processing facility to open in Asheboro

emp has some deep roots in North Carolina; in fact, Robbins, North Carolina, was originally named Hemp. Industrial hemp can be used as Katie Murawski a sustainable alternative to petroleum products, paper Editor products, fabric products and is also used as a nutritional supplement. Four years ago, Bob Crumley was just a long-time and well-known lawyer of Crumley Roberts and Associates living in Asheboro, North Carolina. After three of his friends died of cancer, Bob Crumley felt compelled to do something to help other people’s suffering. “I started researching alternative ways to treat people suffering and it led me to medical marijuana and then to hemp,” he said. “The real health benefits are in hemp.” Then he read more about why hemp became outlawed in the United States for 70 years. “You know who I am, right? I am Crumley Roberts, I spent my whole career fighting for little guys,” he said. “Hemp got outlawed because rich, industrialists lobbied Congress to lump hemp in with marijuana when they were outlawing marijuana. Why did

they want to do that? Because hemp was their biggest competitor.” Bob Crumley said The Du Pont family’s biggest competitor for their nylon and petroleum plastic products was hemp plastic because the first plastic came from the hemp plant. William Randolph Hearst’s biggest competitor for his paper mill and tree farms was hemp paper. Those people along with oil families, he said, came together and united against their common threat and lobbied for hemp to be lumped with marijuana so it could be outlawed as well. “They put families out of business in North Carolina that had been growing hemp, they put companies out of business all to protect the rich,” he said. “That quite frankly, just bothered me. So I said ‘you know what, I am going to be apart of bringing this back, I am going to start helping farmers have a new profitable crop they can grow and I am going to be apart of bringing this product back to the United States and that is what I did.” He remarked that it was really weird for a lawyer who has no experience as a farmer to be one of the biggest advocates driving hemp farming back to North Carolina, but he said that is just where he found himself. LEGALIZING IT In 2014, the Federal Farm Bill was passed and signed by President Obama. In that bill, Bob Crumley said, was Section 7606, which allowed states to set up pilot-programs to reintroduce hemp farming back into the United States. “Me and another lawyer

in Greensboro wrote the statute for North Carolina,” he said. “We got it supported by the Commissioner of Agriculture, the lieutenant governor, the governor, etc. and we got it passed into legislation.” This meant that farmers in North Carolina could now grow hemp legally. He said it was interesting to him that, from 2004 until 2014 people could buy hemp products in the United States because a federal judge ruled that the sale of finished hemp products was legal. “You could go to a grocery store and buy hemp seeds,” he said. “You could go to the farm supply store and buy hemp rope, you could go to Walmart and buy hemp toys, you could go to Sally’s Beauty Supply and buy hemp lotion or shampoo, but if you were a farmer and you planted a hemp seed, you were guilty of a federal felony.” Bob Crumley said the 2014 bill leveled the playing field for American farmers and processors. “I worked hard to set up the North Carolina Industrial Hemp Association,” he said. “We’ve now got over 1,000 members statewide. We have been very involved in the regulatory process and getting the industry started in North Carolina. It is a brand new industry, it hadn’t been done for 70 years in this state.”

FOUNDER’S HEMP Passing successful hemp legislature was simply not enough for Bob Crumley. He felt like he ought to do more so that he could help more North Carolinians. He then started Founder’s Hemp, North Carolina’s very first registered hemp processor. Founder’s Hemp was recently awarded the “Got to be NC” seal from the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and was the first hemp company to receive it. Founder’s Hemp is a vertically integrated company that works with Innovative Aggregated farmers to farm the product, manufacture and process the product, package the product and sell the product in their retail store (and wholesale to other retailers), the Everything Hemp Store, which is located in a shopping center on Zoo Parkway. The Everything Hemp Store has been open since July 31 but the store’s Grand Opening is scheduled for Oct. 5. Bob Crumley said he hopes to expand another hemp store to Greensboro, but he is still looking for space. Founder’s Hemp sells products to physicians, doctors, psychiatrists, chiropractors, physical therapists, massage therapists, health food stores and a different brand in convenience stores. Some of these vendors come from all across the state and include, Carolina Chiropractic Plus in Shelby; Samson & The Lion Natural Foods, in Asheboro; The Hemp Farmacy in Wilmington; and Stroud Chiropractic Clinic in Archdale. Jamie Crumley Bob’s daughter and a lawyer at Crumley Roberts runs the company as

Some of the products offered from Founder’s Hemp the vice president and COO. Also on staff is food scientist from North Carolina State University Nitya Sarjapuram and Zach Thompson as the director of processing. “We do everything from planting the plants to growing them to processing the plant material and finished good product,” Jamie Crumley said. “Then we send that product out to both wholesale and retail.” When her father first asked her to come be apart of the second family business (with law being their first), Jamie Crumley admits she was hesitant. She thought she was only going help by building the business like she had done multiple times before with various other businesses. But when her father told her about hemp, she was immediately skeptical. “In all transparency, I was the company’s skeptic, and some days I think they still label me that,” she said. “I honestly up until that point didn’t know what hemp was, I flat out thought it was the corporate name for marijuana.” But after two years of working with her father, starting up the company’s infrastructure and running it, she slowly started learning more and more about hemp. “After listening to our customers and hearing what they were saying about the products and hearing these successes they were having with the products is when my mind changed,” she said. Prior, she thought they were just trying to sell something, then she thought, “[Hemp] is actually helpful.” She realized hemp was used for various things but she didn’t think it could be used for pharmaceuticals. She needed someone to prove this to her and her father was the one to do just that. “I definitely would never claim that I had any convictions toward hemp; I had no idea what it was,” she said. “Now I definitely can say much more so that after hearing, learning and watching it’s become something that really has captured my heart.” As far as products go, Founder’s Hemp has a wide variety. From the stalk, seed and flower of a hemp plant comes FoundWWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

Jamie Crumley, vice president and COO of Founder’s Hemp er’s Hemp dehulled hemp hearts; toasted hemp seeds; oils and tinctures; capsule full of hemp oil; edibles, such as gummy bears with CBD (Cannabidiol) oil in them; cannabinoid infused local honey; and a cannabinoids infused North Carolina soda with no preservatives or corn syrup called, George’s Cherry Hemp Elixir. Founder’s Hemp also have a brand of products going out into vape shops called Hemp Symmetry that includes vape oils and vape additives, Founder’s Hemp also has hemp clothing available in the Everything Hemp Store as well. Up until recently, Founder’s Hemp had been sourcing their hemp products from Kentucky, Colorado and some seeds from Canada, Bob Crumley said. “All of our cannabinoid products is grown by US farmers, and are processed in the US,” he said. “There are some stores around that carry foreign made product but most of that product, they do not tell you what country it comes from and they won’t tell you if it was derived from marijuana or hemp.” Bob Crumley said Founder’s Hemp did not get to farm much in North Carolina this past year because the Drug Enforcement Agency held up North Carolina’s permit. The Federal Farm Bill passed in 2014, but in North Carolina, it passed in 2015 and the DEA has since made it difficult for states to import hemp seeds. Bob Crumley said this was due to the similar anatomy of a hemp and marijuana seed. He said Kentucky sued the DEA because of their delay on permits and his hemp commission voted to sue the DEA as well. HEMP V. MARIJUANA The obvious elephant in the room is a question about what exactly the difference is between marijuana and hemp is. Both come from the same cannabis plant, and the two look eerily similar in both seed form and full-grown plant form. Bob Crumley said it is all about the cannabinoids. “Hemp, by definition, has very limited THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) in it,” he said. “A very, very small amount, 0.3 of 1 percent, or 3 parts per billion- there

is not much in it at all. CBD is just one cannabinoid, there are over 80 different cannabinoids in hemp and so our products are what is called a full-spectrum cannabinoid. So, when we extract the oil from the hemp we get all the cannabinoids from that, we also get terpenes which is another chemical in hemp. That is what gives hemp or cannabis that obvious cannabis smell. Our oils, tinctures, capsules are full-spectrum oils. But there are people who want a THC-free product where we actually have the THC removed as opposed to a full-spectrum.” Bob Crumley said marijuana did not exist in the United States until the 1840s, but hemp had been farmed since before the United States became the United States. All five-first U.S. presidents were hemp farmers, which he said is the origin of the name of Founder’s Hemp. “What happened in the 1840s was people in Mexico that were farming hemp figured out if you grew it high altitudes and hot climates and if you ingested it, woo woo you could get this high feeling,” he said. “They started breeding it to do that and then it was introduced into the United States as marijuana cannabis in the 1840s.” Bob Crumley said most experts agree that in order to feel any psychotropic effects there would have to be 2 or 3 percent THC. “So, [Founder’s Hemp products] are 10 times lower than the lowest amount to get people high,” he said. “I was doing a speech in Salisbury and one of the farmers asked me, ‘If I agree to grow this Hemp and someone comes by and takes the plant and dries it and smokes it are they going to get high? I said, ‘Sir they could smoke an entire 5-acre track of your hemp and they are not gonna get high. They might get something else, but they ain’t gonna get high.’ This quote was picked up by the Charlotte Observer, Raleigh News & Observer, Time Warner Cable 14 and it got voted one of the top 10 political quotes of 2016. It is funny, but it is also true.” Bob Crumley said there is not enough volume of THC per the volume of hemp and that is the main difference between

hemp and marijuana. “You know the old saying, the solution to pollution is dilution? In a diluted form, most stuff does not hurt you,” he said. “You could go buy everything from our store and eat it today and you would not get high. You may have a stomach ache from all the oil but you are not going to get high.” Although he does not know the fate of marijuana legalization (whether it be medicinal or recreational), his personal belief is that the medical marijuana is more about the high than the medicinal properties. “With hemp,” he said. “I can give you the medical benefits, I can give you the health benefits without the high, so why do I need medical marijuana then if I’ve got the benefit without the high?” Bob Crumley said that there are indeed some people where the high might be important. He sees the people with stage four cancer having a lot of pain that would rather take marijuana rather than opioids, as a legitimate use for medicinal marijuana. But as far as just general health, such as inflammation and sleeping problems, he believes with hemp there is no need for medicinal marijuana. “The FDA just came out recently and acknowledge for the very first time that CBD has beneficial results for people with Epilepsy and Parkinson’s Disease,” he said. “This is huge, huge! We don’t need the THC to have the positive effect in kids with Epilepsy or the elderly with Parkinson’s disease. The interesting thing that we are seeing in Colorado, Washington and Oregon that have medical marijuana laws, guess what they are selling in their dispensaries? Hemp.” Bob Crumley can preach the gospel of hemp all day, but he does have one critique for people in the hemp business: don’t oversell it. “Hemp and cannabinoids do not cure cancer,” he said. “It does not cure Parkinson’s Disease, it does not cure Epilepsy. It helps with the symptoms and bad effects so people’s bodies can better react. It is important that the industry does not oversell this. This is not a miracle cure.” He said let hemp be what it is, a nutritional supplement. North Carolina’s first hemp processing plant is set to open in early October.

Greensboro’s inclusive take on the Tiny House Movement United States capitalism has endorsed one way of life: the American Dream. The white picket fence, a two-story house and property for children to play in, are necessities for many homeowners. Jessica Clifford This notion was not always the case, prior Contributor to this many people lived in tiny houses and lived simple lives. Millennials have welcomed back this modest lifestyle but in a new and inclusive way. Real estate has shifted, and the Tiny House Movement is exciting for many people that crave downsizing and a minimalistic lifestyle. In Guilford and Forsyth County, there is the Belews Lake community, containing multiple houses that average 400 square feet, which is considered the largest square footage for a tiny house. The movement has grown more over the past decade. Tiny House Listings, a real estate website solely for selling tiny houses, was created in North Carolina in 2010. Since then, the website branched out everywhere around the globe. Another example of the movement’s outreach is on national broadcasts. The HGTV television series Tiny Houses, Big Living, which began airing in mid-December 2014, is still a hit show on the channel. The show’s success was a catalyst for other series featuring tiny houses as the main subject, such as Tiny House Hunters and Tiny House Builders. Though part of the tiny house movement, the Belews lake community and others like it, are not financially equitable for those living at or close to the poverty line. In 2012, Walter Jamison, a board member of the Interactive Resource Center in Greensboro, questioned the need for large houses in a meeting with fellow board members. While most of Greensboro’s IRC board agreed with his statement, many also questioned why so many people in Greensboro fight for affordable housing. Both questions collided, and the board members began rolling out an idea to solve this issue. From this, the nonprofit Tiny Houses Greensboro was born, with its agenda geared toward renting houses for people that have experienced homelessness. By 2015, a prototype of a tiny house

Starmount Forest Country Club volunteers helping one another with constructing a tiny house was created and a board of chairs was established. Now in 2017, the first of many tiny houses is complete, with the entire process of fundraising, development and construction performed by Weaver Academy. The second house, 288 square feet in size, was funded and is now being constructed by Starmount Forest Country Club. Other than the first house, which contains a loft, the final five will have a single level floor-plan. Though Jon Dowell, Tiny Houses’ vice chair in construction insisted, “Our goal is not to make cookie-cutters, each [house] is going to have their unique style.” Tiny Houses Greensboro is not limited to their selected property at 4120 Causey St. “I think our goal is to have a number of villages throughout the city to continue to provide affordable housing,” said Teri Hammer, the vice chair of Tiny Houses. With this, an estimated eight to nine more villages are going to be built around Greensboro, containing an average of six houses per property. However, Hammer said the second piece of property is still needed, with the board’s hope that it will be donated to the cause. Yet, Tiny Houses Greensboro is unique to the overall movement taking place

across the United States because the nonprofit is placing their focus on affordability instead of minimalism. Those applying to live in the houses must have experienced homelessness in the past and will be vetted by Greensboro’s Housing Coalition, the Servant Center and Youth Focus. The group is limiting two adult residents per house and hoping many can be used for individuals or a parent and child. Based on the national average for housing spending, those selected are expected to have 30 percent of their monthly allowances taken for rent. Unlike Habitat for Humanity, Tiny Houses Greensboro only allows its residents to rent the houses and not own them. Tiny Houses Greensboro is also different from the overall movement because it is 30 percent community funded and 100 percent voluntarily constructed. Though Tiny Houses has recently sent out for grants, it has yet to receive funding from them. Local companies have donated their labor in response to the group’s payment for materials. Some businesses that are part of the cause include Terry Elrod from Elrod Electric and Chuck Truby from CPT engineering. Major support also comes from the local

universities and high schools. One class at University of North Carolina Greensboro called “Communication and Community” taught by Spoma Jovanovic has six students assisting in the building process. Another student at UNCG, Jessica Ocasio, designed the architecture and floor plan of the current house being built. Appreciative of those assisting the group, Hammer said, “Thank you for the community support so far, and we hope to continue to be supported by our community.” For those looking to donate to Tiny Houses Greensboro, access Hammer’s Crowd Rise page online. Though tiny houses have become a fad, Tiny Houses Greensboro has taken its popularity to a new level by creating affordable housing in the process. “We are such an affluent nation, and we seem to have an affluent city, there seems to be an overwhelming number of people who can’t afford housing,” Hammer said. “This is one way we can make a difference.” Tiny Houses Greensboro will continue to make a difference in housing; one hammered nail at a time. !

Old enough to serve I never knew Richard Dobbs Spaight personally, but I bet he resented George Mason. In 1787, Spaight, a native of New Bern, was one of North Carolina’s delegates to the Constitutional ConvenJim Longworth tion in Philadelphia, and one of only four Contributor delegates under the age of 30 who signed off on our great document. Mason signed too, but he was also responsible for setting age limits on candidates for federal office. Mason made sure that no one under 25 could serve in the House of Representatives, and that you had to be 30 and 35 to run for Senate and President, respectively. John Seary, author of “Too Young to Run,” said Mason had a simple argument for not lowering the age a few notches. The Virginia politician said he “had been an idiot at age 21, and figured most 21-year-olds were about the same.” Spaight was 29 in 1787 and perhaps would have made a good president, but he just wasn’t old enough to run under the new rules. He did, however, run for high office later and, in 1792, became Governor of North Carolina. Still, it must have been difficult for him to listen to a bunch of old guys in Philadelphia disrespecting young people, and dictating the age at which they could vote or hold office. Now 230 years later, another North Carolinian probably feels the same way. Joe Schuler was told by the Guilford County Board of Elections that he was too young to run for a seat on Greensboro City Council. Schuler, a student at University of North Carolina Greensboro, is 19 years old, and the North Carolina Constitution bars anyone under 21 from holding a State office. Ever the optimist, Schuler told the Greensboro News & Record, “Hopefully, someday the laws will change.” The laws have already changed in some states, where young people are running for and winning local races. This year, for example, Carl Nordman, 19, is running for Mayor of Adel, Iowa. He is trying to unseat 26-year incumbent Jim Peters. His campaign is not unprecedented in the Hawkeye State. In 2011, 18-year-old Jeremy Minnier was elected Mayor of Aredale, Iowa. In 2010, 19-year-old Romaine Quinn became Mayor of Rice Lake, Wisconsin. In 2008, 19-year-old John Hammond, a freshman at the University of Oklahoma, bested the WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

incumbent Mayor of Muskogee with 70 percent of the vote. In 2006, 18-year-old Kyle Corbin was elected Mayor of Union, Oregon. One year earlier, teenagers were elected Mayor in Linesville, Pennsylvania, Roland, Iowa, and Hillsdale, Michigan. Despite the progress being made in some localities, wholesale change isn’t coming soon enough for Seary, who writes, “In our country, 18-year-olds can buy cigarettes, donate organs, drive cars, fly airplanes, shoot guns, sign contracts, have consensual sex, get married, get divorced, have children, join the military, serve as jurors and be tried in court as an adult. But for some reason, they are branded too immature and too inexperienced to run for office.” Seary was referring mainly to federal office, but his argument also rings true for young people who want to run for state and local offices. A particular sticking point among older teens is that if they can be sent overseas to fight for our country at age 18, they should be able to hold any elected office at age 18. It’s a familiar argument, which arose over voting rights five decades ago. In 1971, following a growing protest against the Vietnam War and our mandatory military draft, Congress amended the 26th Amendment to allow 18-year-olds to vote. Today there is a similar move afoot to lower the age for young people who want to hold a local, state, or federal office. Like Mason, I also believe that a lot of young people are too immature and too inexperienced to represent themselves, much fewer thousands of their neighbors. But I also recognize that there are a growing number of exceptional men and women under the age of 21 who are wise beyond their years, and who have innovative ideas for how we should be governed. The problem is, even exceptional young leaders haven’t had enough life experience, or adult responsibilities, to give them a rounded perspective on how to go about serving and regulating others. I also agree that anyone who is old enough to join the military is old enough to hold office. That’s why I propose that we raise the minimum age for military service to 21, and leave the North Carolina law as is. My proposal won’t help Schuler get elected anytime soon, but it could save the lives of a lot of other Schulers who might be allowed to grow up a little more before heading off to war, or to the Mayor’s office. !

* In the 9th century, a Norseman named Sigurd Eysteinsson earned the name Sigurd the Mighty while helping to lead the Viking conquest of what is now northern Scotland. As part of a continuing effort to expand his Scottish conquest, Sigurd challenged a native ruler, Mael Brigte the Bucktoothed, to a battle. Each leader was supposed to bring 40 men to the battle, but Sigurd broke his own rule and brought 80 warriors. Unsurprisingly, Brigte lost. After beheading his defeated foe, Sigurd

displayed Brigte’s head on his saddle as a trophy of war. He got his just desserts in the end, though; as he rode, Sigurd’s leg was scratched by Brigte’s buck teeth. The seemingly insignificant wound festered, and Sigurd the Mighty was killed by the infection. * You may already know that seahorses mate for life. You may not be aware, though, that as they swim, they keep their tails linked together. * Those who study such things say that Napoleon Bonaparte was partial to cashmere underwear.

THE SUM OF HIS BEERS

I’ve been with my boyfriend for nine months. We are both in our late 20s and go out drinking a lot with our friends. I’ve noticed that when Amy Alkon he’s drunk, he’ll be super affectionate and say really gushy Advice things about me, our Goddess getting married, etc. Are his true feelings coming out, or is he just talking lovey-dovey because of the booze? — Bridal Hopes You’ve got to be wondering what it would take for you two to live happily ever after...cirrhosis? Many people insist that their personality changes dramatically when they’re all likkered up. Remind them of some outrageous thing they did the other night at the bar and they’ll go all protest-y — “But that wasn’t the real me!” — and point the finger at Jack, Jose, or the Captain (as in, Daniel, Cuervo, or Morgan). The reality is, research on drinking’s effects on personality by clinical psychologist Rachel Winograd finds that beyond one area of personality — extroverson, which increases slightly in drunken people — we’re all pretty much the same jerks (or whatever) that we are when we’re sober. This consistency that Winograd and her colleagues observe makes sense vis-a-vis how psychologists find that personality has a strong genetic component and

involves habitual patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behavior. (There are five major personality dimensions: conscientiousness, agreeableness, emotional stability, openness to experience, and extroversion.) And though the Winograd team did find a small increase in extroversion, a body of research finds that personality traits are largely consistent across time and situations. However, the skeptic in you might ask: If personality doesn’t change after, say, three Sriracha margaritas, how come we’ve all seen people behaving differently when they’re sauced? Well, according to research by social psychologists Claude M. Steele and Robert A. Josephs, the behavioral changes of drunken excess appear to be caused not by alcohol itself but by alcoholdriven changes in perception that they call “alcohol myopia.” Alcohol appears to restrict attention, giving a person a sort of tunnel vision for whatever’s right in front of them. To explain this more simply, alcohol basically turns a person into the chimp version of themselves — focusing on whatever’s right in their face and experiencing simple basic emotions in response, like fear, lust, anger, or blubbering affection. Meanwhile, alcohol diminishes their ability for mental processing of any complexity — most notably the sort of thinking that normally leads a person to say, “Well, on the other hand...” (that little voice of reason that pipes up in more sober moments). Interestingly, the research on alcohol myopia debunks a widely believed myth — the assumption that getting drunk will necessarily lead a person to be much less inhibited. It may, but it may also lead

the other way — to increased inhibition and less risk taking. That may be hard to believe when you’re watching your brother, the uptight accountant, do a drunken striptease on the bar. However, recall that whatever’s right in front of the sloshed person’s face tends to drive how restrained or unrestrained their behavior is. A fascinating example of this comes from field research by psychologist Tara MacDonald and her colleagues. Patrons entering a bar got their hands stamped — seemingly just to allow them to re-enter without standing in line again. Some had their hands stamped with the ominous warning (within a little circle) “AIDS KILLS.” Others got a circle containing the nebulous statement “SAFE SEX” or — in the control group — a smiley face. The 372 hand-stamped participants were later divided into two groups based on blood alcohol level. (Those with a blood alcohol level that was .08 percent or above were the “intoxicated group.”) The researchers found that the “intoxicated” people with the smiley or “SAFE SEX” stamp were more likely than sober participants to have sex without a condom. However, intoxicated people with

the fear-inducing “AIDS KILLS” message expressed less willingness to have unprotected sex than even sober people the researchers surveyed. This is right in line with how alcohol leads to “tunnel vision” that makes whatever’s right in front of a person especially prominent. Getting back to your boyfriend’s drunken mushygushies, consider how the tunnel vision of alcohol myopia likely plays out for him as he looks at you in the moment at the bar: “She’s so sparkly and nice...” What’s missing, however, is all the adult complexity — all that “on the other hand...” thinking that he’d likely do in more sober moments: whether you two can make it as lifelong partners, whether he’s up for creating little people who’d call him Daddy, etc. In other words, there’s probably some stuff he still needs to figure out. Give it some time — tempting as it is to use the findings about alcohol myopia to answer the question “How will you make him hurry up and propose?” Two words: “open bar.” ! GOT A problem?
