She also designs menus and space for folks like Westerwood Tavern’s Mike Bosco, with whom she just opened BITES AND PINTS gastropub at 2503 Spring Garden in Greensboro. 10 You might say that Michael Renegar is obsessed with the story of Jamestown’s most famous GHOST, Lydia. So much so that he has written three books not only on Lydia’s tale, but other mysterious happenings across the area. 11 It’s a brand new school year, and according to the UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL OF THE ARTS, the fall 2017 semester has brought with it an estimated 261 high-school students, 871 undergraduates, and 141 graduate students. 12 KELSEY WALDON was only 19 when she came to Nashville to pursue her career in music. She grew up a few hours away from Music City in the rural community of Monkeys Eyebrow, Kentucky.
Waldon, who was already writing songs and singing, wasn’t necessarily heading to the capital of country music to strike it big; she was trying to find her place. 20 With glorious summertime tragically wrapping up, it’s time to take an annual glance at the movies audiences enjoyed (or endured) over the past four months. Here, then, are some of the seasonal HIGHLIGHTS and LOW POINTS. 24 Thomas Blake is a chiropractor in Liberty, North Carolina, and has been a doctor since 1988. Blake has innovated a device that can be used as an alternative therapy to improve mental health without taking prescription drugs. “I came up with the DEVICE in 2012 and originally I had a patient come in, probably mid-40s very upset one day and I asked her about her son...” 25 X In 1927, there were many firsts – the Harlem Globe Trotters started entertaining audiences, The Jazz Singer began the sound- movie era, but for Greensboro natives, 1927 was the year the CAROLINA THEATRE opened its doors.

[BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT] LITTLE THEATRE OF WINSTON-SALEM BY JESSICA CLIFFORD
In 1934, the Little Theatre of WinstonSalem opened. Now, 83 years later it is one of the oldest community-based theaters that continues to strive for theatrical professionalism and excellence. “It is theater by the community, for the community,” Edwin Martinat, the theater’s artistic director said. This location is part of the Little Theatre Movement, a series of community-based theatres across the United States. “[Little Theatre] puts on high-quality blockbuster hits,” Martinat said. “I call us the premiere community theater.” Each season contains seven shows, two of which are musicals and three are plays, while the final two vary depending on the collection committee and board’s annual decision. Anyone from the community can audition, whether they have professional acting experience or not. Martinat believes the theatre is a great place to cultivate acting skills. Some of this year’s shows include Steel Magnolias, A Wrinkle in Time and Noises Off. The complete lineup can be found on the Little Theatre’s website.
WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM
However, the Little Theatre provides more to the public than just great community-run productions, it also offers acting classes in four age groups and a summer camp for children. Martinat is most excited for their newest production, Mamma Mia, which will perform its first show on Oct. 6. “[Mamma Mia] is able to collaborate with the generations,” Martinat said. Martinat said the show is likable for both older Abba fans and younger fans of the soundtrack. What is most exciting for the actors is that this will be the first community production of Mamma Mia in the entire Southeast. “We couldn’t do this without the support of the community,” Martinat said. “That is what is magical.” The Little Theatre is always looking for volunteers, contact them at 336-7480857 to see how you can help. Individual tickets are $27.50. For other great student and group deals go to the Little Theatre’s website at http://www. thelittletheatreofws.org/. !

2503 Spring Garden in Greensboro. Patrons of Fat Dogs, the site’s former occupant, needn’t worry. That popular brew-n-dog hang out beloved by several of my friends has moved to 3021 Spring Garden, where expanded space has allowed the addition of an in-house brewery. The situation is win-win for both establishments. I recently asked Kris Fuller how many restaurants she’s involved with in ownership or menu-creating capacity. She replied that, before Crafted was imagined, she and her mother owned and operated The Bistro at Adams Farm Shopping Center for five years. “I’ve also designed the menus and recipes for McPherson’s Bar and Grill, 913 Whiskey Bar, The Green Bean at Golden Gate and Hops Burger Bar,” she said. “I’m currently consulting on a restaurant in

New Braunfels, Texas, and two other upcoming projects, one in Charlotte and one in Greensboro. And of course the most recent opening, Bites and Pints next to Hops Burger Bar on Spring Garden.” She said it feels good to have been so well-received by the community and she enjoys “the challenge of coming up with new creative menus and concepts.” Kris Fuller said she loves Greensboro and wants the local food scene to be the best it can be. “I’m a huge fan of Greensboro’s diverse food options and excited to be a part of it along with other great chefs and restaurant owners,” she said. She’s longtime friends with B+P owner Mike Bosco, who told me he wants this article to spotlight her. “Unless you’ve worked beside Krissy, you’ve no idea how wonderful she is, and this is all her,” Bosco said. “I never thought I’d own a restaurant with a turquoise bar, but she said ‘trust me,’ and both our new customers and longtime Fat Dogs patrons love it.” “Mike has talked to me for years about wanting to own a restaurant in addition to his bar Westerwood,” Kris Fuller said, adding that they’d explored many options which never came to be. “When he found out the Fat Dogs location was available, he contacted me and asked if I would consult for him.” Her vision for the new establishment started with knowing it was near a beloved burger bar and breakfast/lunch spot. “Hops is busy for a reason, and Scrambled has really nailed it,” she said. “Fat Dogs had operated there for several years as a bar and grill serving hot dogs, sandWWW.YESWEEKLY.COM
wiches, burgers and wings, so Mike and I agreed we would continue with the same concept but with our own twist. I consider the food to be an elevated and fun take on ‘the usual.’ Who doesn’t love a good bar and grill? So with that, I just wanted to make really darn good food out of the usual suspects.” She also said the best thing about working with Bosco is his passion. “When he wants something he goes out and gets it,” she said. “I respect that mentality. But he also respects what others bring to the table. This restaurant wouldn’t be possible without him, me or our management team. Morgan and Ethan really stepped up to the plate. I think we have achieved what we set out to do, but only because we put all of our minds together to make it so.” Kris Fuller and her wife Rachel just became homeowners, which has been stressful for them with the opening of B+P. “We just bought a house, and it’s been a bit stressful,” she said. “Mostly due to the fact that we moved in the same week of Bites and Pints opening as well as demolition starting on my and my mother Rhonda’s new building that we purchased at 220 S. Elm St. for the Crafted: Taco expansion. But it feels great to have a place in a quiet neighborhood and a yard for the dogs.” Kris Fuller wanted to thank everyone in Greensboro for the support they show Crafted and the other locally-owned restaurants. “It’s folks like you that make us love what we do,” she said. !

New book debunks Lydia myth
BY CAROL BROOKS
ou might say that Michael Renegar is obsessed with the story of Jamestown’s most famous ghost, Lydia. So much so that he has written three books not only on Lydia’s tale, but other mysterious happenings across the area. Renegar is now finishing up a new book, “Looking for ‘Lydia’ – The Thirty Year Search for the Jamestown Hitchhiker,” that focuses on his search for the real Lydia – but with a twist: The woman’s name might not be Lydia at all. The well-known story goes that “Lydia” and a male friend were returning to the area following a dance in the 1920s when their car was involved in an accident near the old railroad tunnel beside present-day East Main Street in Jamestown resulting in Lydia being killed. Since 1924, usually on foggy nights, people have reported seeing her apparition as they approach the bridge. Several people – usually men – stopped to offer a ride. Lydia accepts and directs them to a home in High Point. By

the time they arrive, Lydia vanishes from the back seat. When the men knocked on the door of the house they had been directed to, an older woman said that her daughter, Lydia, had been killed at the bridge location many years before and that they were not the only ones who tried to bring her home. “Something always told me there was something to this,” Renegar said last year. He began researching old newspaper articles and uncovered a report of a 10 p.m. accident. The Greensboro Patriot of June 21, 1920, chronicled the accident headlined “Miss Annie Jackson killed last night when machine overturned.” The article continues by stating that the automobile in which she was riding “turned turtle” on the High Point road at a point about three miles from High Point, consistent with the underpass’ location. Renegar said this was the only fatality at the underpass within 20 years of the timeframe of the myth. Renegar continued his research and now believes that “Lydia” was really Jackson, who lived in Greensboro. His
belief became more substantiated recently when a member of Jackson’s family contacted him. This person had been doing genealogical research on Annie and discovered the Lydia connection. “Michael David Mitchell says that when he was growing up, his Daddy told them they were related to “Lydia,” Renegar wrote on Facebook. “Mr. Mitchell is a grandchild of Annie’s sister, Dora.” “He couldn’t believe someone else knew it,” Renegar said. “A lot of things came together. I just know in my bones that Annie Jackson is the inspiration for Lydia.” His new book focuses on the Annie Jackson story. A ghostly hitchhiker legend is not unique to Jamestown. Many areas around the world have their own hitchhiker tale. “This is the accident that generated a legend,” Renegar said in a Facebook post. “With embellishments and added details and changes, this true historical event became transformed into the ghost story of ‘Lydia,’ a lonely phantom who is seen at the site, and often picked up by unwary travelers.” “This book basically solves the mystery that existed for a century,” Renegar said. An excerpt from the book’s introduction reads, “What is it that allows this story to continue, even expand and change across the decades? The answer is simple. It resonates through our very souls. The legend is a tale of yearning, for home and family. A longing so strong, it survives even death itself! We can all relate to her. We have all, at one time or another, felt
our heartstrings tugged by a longing for the past. For a simper, happier time. For that reason alone, the story of “Lydia” and other vanishing hitchhikers will go on, long after we are gone. And “Lydia” will always be there, constantly waiting … and hoping for the one ride that finally gets her where she wants to go. So watch for her out there, folks. The road has been re-routed, and a new underpass built. But our lonely girl is said to have followed the traffic, and now appears at the new underpass. Yes, the name “Lydia” is legend. But, as it turns out, that is not her real name…” “Looking for ‘Lydia’ – The Thirty Year Search for the Jamestown Hitchhiker” also profiles several other Jamestown ghosts, namely Minerva at the Mendenhall Homeplace and ghostly legends at the Yellow House (Coffin House), Potter House and Jamestown Public Library. There is no date set when the book will be available, as several details need to be worked out. Renegar advises interested persons to check his Facebook page, “The Legend of the Jamestown Underpass,” for details. !

A new semester and new faces at UNCSA It’s a brand new school year, and according to the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, the fall 2017 semester has brought with it an estimated 261 highschool students, 871 Mark Burger undergraduates, and 141 graduate Contributing students. Among those columnist new faces are Wiley Hausam, who has been appointed the school’s new managing director of performance facilities and Frank Brinkley, the school’s new police chief. Hausam’s duties will include leading the newly instituted performance facilities department, which combines leadership of the UNCSA Stevens Center in downtown Winston-Salem, and the on-campus performance facilities. He will oversee all 11 of UNCSA’s performance facilities, which entail coordinating of event calendaring, cultivating community relationships, managing preexisting relationships with external partners, and facility planning and implementation. “I’m looking forward to joining UNCSA and coming to Winston-Salem, which has such a rich history of arts and culture,” Hausam said in an official statement. “I have a passionate belief in conservatory training for young artists, and UNCSA is one of the best in our country. I believe I’m a good fit because of the breadth of my experience in the performing arts and my work in higher education. Working with talented young performing artists and bringing communities together with highquality theater, dance, and music are what I love to do.” Hausam boasts considerable experience as an independent producer, artist manager and arts consultant. He is president of Hausam Arts LLC, and previously held the positions of senior artistic advisor and artistic and executive director at The Broad Stage at Santa Monica College, executive director of Stanford Live and Bing Concert Hall at Stanford University, executive director of The Performing Arts Center at Purchase College (State University of New York), and executive director of the Jack H. Skirball Center for the Performing Arts at New York University. “Wiley’s experience launching worldclass performance facilities at New York University and Stanford University will WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM
Wiley Hausam (Left) and Frank Brinkley (Right). help us transform our aging, outdated theaters,” UNCSA Chancellor Lindsay Bierman said in his official statement. “His top priority will be the renovation of our largest on-campus venue, Performance Place, and the revitalization of the Stevens Center. This critical new position will streamline our operations, drive the execution of major campus and community projects, help us compete with peer institutions, and improve student learning outcomes.” “Wiley Hausam has managed live performance facilities in higher education since 2002,” added David English, UNCSA provost. “He also has significant experience as an arts presenter and producer. He’s perfectly suited for his new role.” Regarding his appointment as UNCSA’s chief of police, Brinkley said throughout his career at North Carolina State University Police Department he has done work that has touched every area of the department. “I learned early on the value of partnerships. I’ve worked closely with university housing, the Office of Student Conduct, the counseling center, the risk assessment case manager, office of general counsel, employee relations, and the Division of Academic and Student Affairs to close cases, resolve problems, and respond to emergencies,” he said. “I believe that in working together we can find the best comprehensive solutions to problems facing our campuses, and I look forward to building new partnerships at the School of the Arts.” Brinkley, who assumes his duties Sept. 18, succeeds Thomas C. Younce, who’d been the interim police chief since February. Over 40 candidates applied for the position and three finalists were
interviewed on campus. The UNCSA police chief leads the UNCSA Department of Police and Public Safety, reporting to Carin Ioannou, UNCSA’s vice chancellor for business affairs. “Frank Brinkley’s leadership and strate-
gic management experience makes him the perfect choice for our next chief of police,” Ioannou said. “His career emphasis on community policing, criminal investigation and analysis, and threat assessment – combined with his progressively responsible experience at one of the University of North Carolina system’s largest universities – will serve him well in his new position.” With more than 15 years experience in campus law enforcement, combined with over 4,600 hours of law-enforcement training and education, Brinkley has been a police major in the NCSU police department since 2013, and its acting chief from January to March 2017. He served as police lieutenant (2012-2013), police sergeant (2006-2011), as a patrol officer/detective (2003-2005), and as the university’s interim risk assessment case manager in 2013.

She grew up a few hours away from Music City in the rural comJohn Adamian munity of Monkeys @johnradamian Eyebrow, Kentucky. Waldon, who was already writing songs Contributor and singing, wasn’t necessarily heading to the capital of country music to strike it big; she was trying to find her place. “I just had more of an overwhelming feeling that I had to get out of my home town and be around people that were just like me,” she said. “I wanted to be taken seriously in what I was doing and be part of a nourishing community of artists,

which is what I was able to do here.” I spoke by phone earlier this week with the 29-year-old, reaching her at her home in Nashville. Waldon performs several sets with her band at the National Folk Festival in Greensboro this weekend. Waldon released her second record, I’ve Got A Way, last year and it is an album of original tunes, with two covers, showcasing Waldon’s singing, which has a subtle bite to it. There are plenty of elements of classic country to the record. Bright pedal steel guitar is featured throughout, and there are hints of the twangy Bakersfield sound, along with touches of boot-scooting honky-tonk. Waldon isn’t a nostalgia act or a revivalist exactly. She draws on the blueprints of artists she heard growing up, such as Vince Gill and Patty Loveless, who were themselves re-imagining the country tradition with a contemporary spin. It’s easy to compare Waldon to Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn and other female
classic country singers and songwriters. But one can tell that Waldon’s influences range far and wide. She’s a fan of artists such as Bill Withers, Willie Nelson and Townes Van Zandt. On her new record, Waldon covers “Travellin’ Down This Lonesome Road,” a classic song by fellow Kentuckian Bill Monroe (also known as the Father of Bluegrass). Waldon also does a lovely version of “There Must Be Someone,” a song by the Gosdin Brothers, the folk-rock-ish band that country singer and songwriter Vern Gosdin had with his brother before going solo. There’s a throughline of loneliness and the hardships of solitude on those covers, a theme that runs through Waldon’s own songs as well. But there’s also the suggestion of the strength and fortitude that come from forging one’s own identity through struggle, perseverance and independence. Waldon’s song “All By Myself” embodies this idea with the line: When you wanted to be you, you needed somebody else, but I can be me all by myself. Many of her songs give the suggestion of a life defined by one’s ability to plow through trouble and to drive toward SEPTEMBER 6-12, 2017
WWW.YESWEEKLY.COMW
OFTEN IMITATED NEVER DUPLICATED
what’s right and what’s real. Waldon said that she, like most songwriters, is just trying to tell stories that seem true, that comes from her own life. There’s uplift and inspiration underneath the heartache. “I was made to work since I was real young,” Waldon said. “My dad got up everyday at 4 in the morning, went to bed at 8 at night. I come from a long line of strong independent women that had to do a lot of things themselves.” When I suggest that there’s a vein of hard-nosed, taking-care-of-business attitude to her material, Waldon jokes that anyone who knows her knows that she’s a nerd. But still, her commitment to going on the road, carving out time to write new material (she and her band are recording tracks this fall) and remaining an independent artist all indicate a degree of focus and a work ethic that doesn’t come naturally to everyone. Yet, it’s not as if all of her songs are necessarily about triumphing over adversity. Some of them, like the sad, memorable rock-tinged “High In Heels” off her first album, are just about the adversity itself. Everybody’s got their own kind of suicide, sings Waldon leading into the chorus of a song about people not managing to thrive WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM
though the prospect of salvation and wealth loom around like a kind of insult to their suffering. Elsewhere in the same song Waldon sings, Church-going people know more than I do/And we might need Jesus, but we also need food. Waldon has chosen a career as a touring performer, logging hours in a cramped van to play bars and clubs, versus the possibility of working as a songwriter and co-writer in Nashville, splitting the difference in a way that many singer/songwriters find to be a pleasant and stationary alternative to the life of a gigging musician. “I’d rather whole-ass one thing than half-ass a couple different ones,” she said. Waldon and her band play a total of five sets, at 1 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 9 and 2:15 p.m. and 4:15 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 10 at the National Folk Festival in downtown Greensboro. Visit nationalfolkfestival.com for a list of stage locations and a complete rundown of the schedule for the festival. !

Mark Flora will direct A Wrinkle in Time and Kevin Hampton will stage manage. WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

Summer cinema wrap: The highs and lows of a middling movie season BY MATT BRUNSON
W
ith glorious summertime tragically wrapping up, it’s time to take an annual glance at the movies audiences enjoyed (or endured) over the past four months. Here, then, are some of the seasonal highlights and low points. Best Use Of A Classic Song: George Harrison’s “My Sweet Lord” in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Runners-up: Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain” in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2; George Michael’s “Father Figure” in Atomic Blonde; Simon and Garfunkel’s “Baby Driver” in Baby Driver; David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” in Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.

Best Villain: Michael Keaton as Adrian Toomes/Vulture in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Runners-up: David (Michael Fassbender) in Alien: Covenant; The Colonel (Woody Harrelson) in War for the Planet of the Apes.
Best Multiplex Movie: Wonder Woman. Following a rash of genre flicks that mistake nihilism for gravitas, this marvel of a movie is one of the few to unequivocally maintain that there’s still a place for uncompromised champions in our world. It punches this across with a savory mix of inspiring action, good-natured humor, and a formidable heroine perfectly embodied by Gal Gadot. Runner-up: Dunkirk.
Worst Villain: A jaundiced Mr. Hyde (Russell Crowe) in The Mummy. Runners-up: Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem) in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales; Balthazar Bratt (Trey Parker) in Despicable Me 3. Best Kick-Ass Heroine: Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) in Wonder Woman. Runnerup: Lorraine Broughton (Charlize Theron) in Atomic Blonde. Best Animal Act: The German shepherd Varco as real-life combat dog Sergeant Rex in Megan Leavey.

Scene Stealers: Tiffany Haddish in Girls Trip; Michael Rooker in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Most Insufferable Performances: Jillian Bell in Rough Night; Jon Bass in Baywatch. Most Underrated: Alien: Covenant. Working in references to Milton, Michelangelo and Percy Shelley’s “Ozymandias” rather than to Marvel, mutants and Depp’s Jack Sparrow, this proved to be even more divisive than Prometheus and infuriated fanboys expecting nothing more than wall-to-wall action. Most Overrated: Logan Lucky. It’s a fairly fun bit of Southern-fried hokum, but the main difference between this and the lambasted Masterminds is that this one is directed by critics’ darling Steven Soderbergh, giving it something of a free pass. Movie I’m Most Sorry to Have Missed In Theaters: The Big Sick. Runner-up: Wind River.
Worst Multiplex Movie: The Mummy. A plastic product made by mercenaries, pimps and profiteers rather than filmmakers who actually give a damn, this is an insult to anyone who claims to love classic monster movies. Scratch that; it’s an insult to anyone who claims to love movies, period. Runner-up: Transformers: The Last Knight. Top 12 Moneymakers 1. Wonder Woman - $406 million 2.

Campus rape and the Clery Act: Are local colleges violating the law?
*Editor’s note: Yes! Weekly hopes this article will convince all Triad colleges and universities to be uniformly transparent in complying with the Clery Act and make this information easily assessible to students and their parents. In this article, Ian McDowell has outlined how to find university crime logs and navigate our local institutions’ websites. The point of this article is to enlighten the public and provide students with this crucial information. This article is not intended to discredit local law enforcement, campus security or the administration of the Triad’s colleges and universities mentioned in this article.
O
n Aug. 25, College Hill homeowner Ronald Fulp emailed me alleging that the University North Carolina Greensboro might be violating the Jeanne Ian McDowell Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Contributing Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. columnist The 1990 Clery Act requires colleges or universities receiving federal financial aid to maintain a public record of crimes such as the multiple sexual assaults and rape at the UNCG last month. Compliance is monitored by the United States Department of Education, which can impose civil penalties of up to $54,789 per violation Fulp claimed to have also written the USDE, alleging the university’s “police log” was offline in a month with more attacks on women than many institutions report in a year. Fulp linked to a page titled “UNCG Police Activity Log” that displayed a DNS error. “Sloppiness in the IT department,” he asked, “or a cover-up?” Fulp was looking in the wrong place, UNCG Police Chief Paul Lester said. “That’s an old link that we no longer use and needs to be removed,” Chief Lester said. Chief Lester sent me a working link to the Crime and Fire Log at clery.uncg.edu. That log can also be accessed by clicking the Clery tab at police.uncg.edu or by typing “crime log” into the search tool on the University’s homepage at uncg.edu (to show readers how to search for crime records, this article details various steps to

There have been multiple rapes at or near this UNCG address in the last month. finding them at local institutions). UNCG’s log reports seven crimes of a sexual or gendered nature since July 13, none so far resulting in an arrest. A “sex offense” (originally recorded as “rape”) in McIver Building on July 13 is marked “closed/leads exhausted.” A “rape” recorded at Strong Dorm on Aug. 12 is marked “closed/cleared, victim refused to cooperate.” Two open reports labeled “rape,” both at 201 Gray Dr., are recorded for Aug.16 and Aug. 21. “sexual assault” is recorded for 1202 North Dr. on Aug. 13. Two incidents are labeled “assault on a female,” a “closed/cleared” one near Lee Hall on 700 Highland Ave. on Aug. 17 and an open one near Tate Street Coffee (offcampus, but the UNCG police provided assistance) on Aug. 24. Although UNCG appears compliant with the law, students and their parents should be aware that all colleges or universities receiving federal financial aid are required to keep public records of incidents like these, as well as murders, robberies and other crimes of violence. The Clery Act is a federal statute codified at 20 U.S.C. § 1092(f), with implementing regulations in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations at 34 C.F.R. 668.4. It is named after Jeanne Clery, a 19-year-old Lehigh University student who was raped and murdered
in her campus residence hall in 1986. That fatal assault was one of 38 violent crimes recorded at the university in three years. Her parents sued, arguing that their daughter would not have attended Lehigh if its crime record been known. They were awarded $2 million and founded the nonprofit organization Security On Campus. The law requires campus police departments to maintain public logs of all crimes reported to them. The log is required to have the most recent information in the last 60 days. Each entry must contain the nature, date, time and general location of each crime and disposition of the complaint. Institutions must publish their Annual Campus Security Report by Oct. 1 of each year and distribute it to current and prospective students and employees. This report must provide crime statistics for the prior three years, policy statements regarding various safety and security measures, campus crime prevention program descriptions and procedures to be followed in the investigation and prosecution of sex offenses. Like most institutions, UNCG won’t publish their 2016 data until October. But their 2016 Annual Security and Fire Report (the date refers to when it was published) contains the following information. In
2013, there were five reported rapes, seven reported incidents of “dating violence,” five reported incidents of stalking, and two reported incidents of “fondling.” In 2014, there were nine reported rapes, five stalkings, 14 reports of dating violence, and four of fondling. In 2015, there were eight reported rapes, 12 incidents of dating violence, nine of stalking and four of fondling. Not every local institution of higher learning is as transparent as UNCG. Unsurprisingly for legislation dating from 1990, the Clery Act doesn’t require crime logs to be available online, however many institutions have made them so. Greensboro’s Guilford College is not one of those institutions. There is no mention of a crime log on the Public Safety page of the Guilford College website (as the college employs no police). William Anderson, the college’s director of public safety, affirmed in an email that Guilford maintains a public crime log, but that “it is not online.” He also said in the email that Guilford “did not have any incidents of rape, sexual assault, fondling, stalking or dating violence reported for July and August” of 2017. When asked what Guilford does to make students aware of the required log and how they may obtain a copy, Anderson said in an email that its existence “is addressed in our 2016 Annual Security & Fire Safety Report, page six, which we make public to all students, faculty and staff, per Clery requirements. It is our goal at some point to add this to our website.” It should be noted that, while page six of Guilford’s 2016 Annual Report briefly describes the requirements of the Clery Act and acknowledges that the college maintains a daily crime log that “is open for public inspection,” it does not say where this log is kept or how it may be accessed. To access a PDF of the 2016 annual report, go to the college’s main page, guilford.edu and enter “public safety” in the search window. The first hit is Public Safety (P-Safe). Click on it and scroll down and there’s a link to the Annual Security Report and Fire Safety Report. This document has figures for 2014-2016. It lists three rapes in 2016 and four in 2015, but the entry of 2014 is “N/A.” For “sexual assault, forcible,” it lists nine for 2016 and “N/A” for 2014-2015. The figures for dating violence are four for 2016, one for 2015 and three for 2014. There is one incident of stalking listed for 2016,
WWW.YESWEEKLY.COMW
and none for 2014-2015. There are three incidents of fondling listed for 2016, but entries are marked “N/A” for 2014-2015. North Carolina Agricultural and Technical University does maintain an online crime log. Type “Clery” in the search window at ncat.edu and the first hit will be an explanation of the Clery Act. At the bottom of this page is a link to the latest Fire Safety and Security Report. However, the page contains no links to the crime log. Typing “crime log” in the homepage search window will bring up the Daily Crime and Fire Log as the first hit. Alternately, from the home page, choose Community Partners from the top menu and University Police Department from the resulting list. Jeanne Clery Act and Daily Crime and Fire Logs are both menu items on the left. The only sexual or gendered crime on the A&T daily log is one incident of Indecent Exposure on July 31, with no rapes reported for 2017. The 2016 Fire and Safety Report lists seven “forcible sex offenses” for 2013, but does not define them. One rape and three incidents of fondling are reported for 2014. For 2015, the report shows five rapes and one fondling. Greensboro College also has no online daily crime log, nor does their website mention a physical one. Their Annual Security and Fire Safety report lists the fewest sexual crimes of any Triad institution, possibly due to their small size. To access it, choose Life on Campus at the top of their homepage at greensboro.edu, then Security. Scroll down to Annual Security/Fire Report. This document lists one incident of violence for 2013 and one for 2014. For 2015, it lists three of fondling, two of dating violence and one of stalking. The figure given for rapes is zero for all three years. Greensboro’s Bennett College maintains an online crime log with no entries for 2017. The only apparent way of finding it is to type “crime” into the search tool at bennett.edu. The latest entry is for December 2016 and it lists no rapes or sexual crimes. To find their annual report, type “security” or “safety” into the search tool and choose Campus Safety, then scroll down to Annual Security and Fire Report 2016. It lists no rapes or sexual offenses for 2013-2015, and the pages with other crime statistics bear the following disclaimer: The crime data reported by the institutions have not been subjected to independent verification by the U.S. Department of Education. Therefore, the Department cannot vouch for the accuracy of the data reported here. For Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, go to Police.wfu.edu. Clery is the third option on the left-hand WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM
menu, under Home and About Us. Clicking it gives the definition the Clery Act and links to the Annual Crime Report and Daily Crime and Fire Log. The annual report is titled “2015” but covers 2013-2015 just as the “2016” ones at UNCG and A&T do. The log shows an “Assault on a Female” on Aug. 23, case still active. There’s also a second degree Sexual Assault on Aug. 27, but the disposition is listed as “Closed – Unfounded.” The log has monthly statistics for the past year, and shows one rape, status listed as “Active,” on May 1, and two incidents of sexual assault in April, both listed as “Active.” The annual report shows four rapes, five incidents of dating violence, and 10 incidents of stalking between 2013-2015, with two of the rapes in 2014 and one each in the other years. Like Wake Forest, High Point University has no apparent “Clery” tab or link on its main page. One must choose Security and Transportation from the Campus Life tab at the top of highpoint.edu, and then choose Campus Security Act (Clery) Compliance from Additional Resources at the bottom left of the page. There’s a link to the latest annual report, but no online Daily Crime Log, just a note that printed copies are available in the Security Administration Building. The annual report shows four rapes in 2013, five in 2014 and 11 in 2015. There were four incidents of fondling in 2013, seven in 2014 and five in 2015. The statistics for dating violence are three in 2013, one in 2014, and 10 in 2015. There are no reported incidents of stalking. For Guilford Technical Community College, go to gtcc.edu and click on GTTC Home. Choose Campus Police from the drop-down menu. Annual Security Report/Clery is first option on the right-hand menu. Crimes Log is the sixth option. The log appears not to be updated as rapidly as the Clery act mandates, with no entries after July, but GTTC is the only institution with online daily records for 2016. For 2017, the log shows a sexual assault at the Greensboro campus in January and a “sexual offense” on the Jamestown campus in May. In May of 2016, a sexual assault is listed for the High Point campus. The annual report does not list any rapes, but one forcible fondling on the Jamestown campus and one on the High Point campus in 2013. In 2014, it lists one incident of dating violence on the Jamestown campus. In 2015, it lists one forcible fondling and one incident of dating violence, both on the Greensboro campus.

The site’s search tool does not currently work. One must use Google to find the PDF of their Winston-Salem State University Annual Fire Safety and Security Report. It lists two rapes in 2013, one in 2014 and zero in 2015. For stalking, it lists one incident in 2013 and two in 2014 and 2015. The stats of dating violence are higher, with nine in 2013, 12 in 2014 and 12 in 2015. Editor’s note* YES!

Mind over matter: Local chiropractor’s invention could be used to help treat depression Thomas Blake is a chiropractor in Liberty, North Carolina, and has been a doctor since 1988. Blake has innovated a device that can be used as an alternative therapy to improve mental health Katie Murawski without taking prescription drugs. Editor “I came up with the device in 2012 and originally I had a patient come in, probably mid-40s very upset one day and I asked her about her son, who was a senior in high school it was September, I remember, and he wasn’t going to be able to start the year,” Blake said. “He suffered terrible depression and the medication they put him on turned him into a zombie; he could not even leave the house, the medication just had really wiped him out.” Blake said the mother was upset because the doctors told her that the next step would be to institutionalize her son. As she sat in his office upset and crying, Blake said she mused about any alternative medicine that would treat her son’s depression while not shutting him down. “That got me thinking about other alternative modes to depression maybe something else besides medication,” Blake said. “Thirty percent of the depressed population don’t even respond to medication. So, I started doing some research. I spent probably close to half of a year to a year of periodically researching different options and reading different research articles to get some proven techniques to get out there alternative things that have helped people.” Blake’s invention, the MIND Device, which stands for the Mood In-hancing Neuro Device, incorporates both old and new therapeutic techniques such as light and magnetic therapy. Blake said light therapy has been around for about 50 years and it is primarily used in Alaska and the Arctic Circle because of the six months of darkness experienced there. Blake said due to the darkness there are high incidences of depression and alcoholism. “They are not getting enough sunlight stimulant in their retina and that is how the body releases serotonin,” Blake said. “Serotonin is the happy hormone and makes people feel energized and

Thomas Blake, inventor of the MIND Device. motivated - it helps with self-esteem and self-worth without that light stimulation those people are just very depressed.” Bake said magnetic therapy has been FDA approved since 2008 and even a few hospitals have been using it. An MRI magnet is used to pinpoint an area of the left frontal lobe (Blake said that is the area they feel where mood is regulated from) and helps stimulate the release of neurotransmitters. Blake said this process kind of mimics the same effect as antidepressant medicines but without the side effects. The MIND device is essentially a visor worn on the head with a shade covering the eyes, which has LED lights built into it, as well as a magnet the size of a half dollar on the left side of the device. The LED light is completely safe and emit UVA rays, which he said are basically harmless. The visor can be tightened or loosened depending on someone’s head shape. Blake said the device should be used in the morning and recommends that it is used between the hours of 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. because he said the morning is “certainly when we want serotonin to increase.” “Serotonin stimulated by light while the opposite, melatonin is stimulated by darkness and puts us to sleep,” Blake said. “It not only helps depression and anxiety it also helps people regulate their sleep.” Blake said to wear it for up to 30 minutes a day, preferably in increments of 10 to 15 minutes to get acclimated. Blake said the device can be worn for 30
minutes a day four to five times a week. “Do it the same time every morning because you’ll want that stimulation and you want your body used to that,” Blake said. Blake said the objective with the MIND device is to promote mental health awareness and to provide a natural solution to prescription medications. Blake said the main reason he started researching this is because he wanted to provide an alternative solution that worked without the harsh side effects of prescription medications. Blake said through his years of research on the topic, depression affects 20 million americans and only 20 percent of them seek help because they are afraid to talk about it. Blake said the MIND Device can be used therapeutically in the privacy and company of one’s own home and is safe and affordable. Alex Womack is an investor and entrepenuer in partnership with Blake. Womack believes in the device’s ability to help people because it helped him so much. He said he suffered for many years with depression so severe it nearly killed him. He believes this device may have saved his life. “God in me said to not give up and I had to find another way to solve my depression,” Womack said. “I began to research ways to treat myself naturally. I began to experiment with Meditation, Plant based dieting, intense fitness, St. John’s Wart, Niacin, Vitamin B12.” Womack said, after two years of
searching and suffering his wife told him of Blake, her chiropractor, and his device. Now, Womack said he uses the device every day for 20 minutes a day and it has improved his mood drastically since. Womack said he feels happy after using the device and that it makes him feel clear, focused, motivated and he has more energy than he did before. “My vision for The MIND Device is that we are able to serve millions of people who suffer with depression restoring their mental health and wellbeing using all natural solutions,” Womack said. “We want people to live joyful, peaceful, loving and fulfilling lives.” The MIND Device pamphlet states that the device uses a powerful magnet that needs to be kept away from electrical devices and is not intended for children under the age of 12 years old. If persistent headaches, vision disturbances or any other disturbances occur, the pamphlet states to discontinue use and consult a physician.

Carolina Theatre prepares for its 90th anniversary
In 1927, there were many firsts – the Harlem Globe Trotters started entertaining audiences, The Jazz Singer began the soundmovie era, but for Greensboro natives, 1927 was the year Jessica Clifford the Carolina Theatre opened its doors. Now 90 years later, Intern the vaudeville-style Carolina Theatre is still open for the Greensboro community to gather and watch classic films and shows. This year’s movie line-up is bigger and celebrates their long history for the entire season. The celebration begins with the 90th Anniversary Decades of Film Series, kicking off on Sept. 12 with the 1920s film, Nosferatu. Then, with only a break for the holiday season in December, each consecutive month will host one classic film from every decade until the end of the season. Meagan Kopp, the director of marketing at Carolina Theatre, said a handful of movies were specially selected by the theater’s staff and then created into a social media poll for the public. Though everyone could chime in with other sug-
WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM
gestions, most of the community liked the selection they were given. The theater wanted to embrace their history to “make it fun and celebrate the entire season,” said Kopp, who thought the result of the movie selection process was a “moment of kismet.” Such classics being shown include Citizen Kane, Singin’ in the Rain, To Kill a Mocking Bird and Pulp Fiction. However, Carolina Theatre’s history reveals that its presence in the city of Greensboro has been tested. In the 1960s, after the mental shift from a diverse downtown featuring shopping and theaters, Greensboro was having a “suburban boom,” rendering the Carolina Theatre as second class. The United Arts Council came together to raise $550,000 to save the building from its potential destiny – a parking lot. The council bought out the theater for a meager $360,000. Then in 1977, Carolina Theatre reopened after it was refurbished and built into a 1,200-seat auditorium for the dual purpose of showcasing performing arts and cinematic productions. However, that was not the end of the theater’s misfortunes. On July 1, 1981, the theater caught on fire and closed for a year. Once again, the United Arts Council came to the rescue, raising $5 million during a successful campaign, leading to large renovations that
made the theatre look as it does today. “[The theater] is a piece of living history,” Kopp said. Describing the first time someone walks into the theater she added, “[It is a] special feeling to walk in to see the chandelier. It’s a magical feeling.” In remembrance of the Carolina Theatre’s history, it seems opportune to highlight moments of cinema’s past, which is exactly what the theatre will accomplish with their Silent Movie Series. This series begins Sept. 19, with Wings. In accompaniment with the films will be award-winning organist, Ron Carter, who is experienced in playing to the plots of many silent films. This experience should be just like a real 1920s movie theater, Kopp said. The films are not the only thing to be excited about. As a treat throughout this season, selected movies will be part of the Wrangler Series, where three lucky moviegoers will win Wrangler jeans. In addition to this, on Oct. 28 The Spirit of the Carolina: Celebrating 90 Years, organized by long-time employee J.P. Swisher, will feature a variety show including hundreds of live performers. “[The show] is an imagined history of the 90 years,” Kopp said. “It highlights the community theater and the downtime art culture.” However, what is most exciting about
this season, as it always is for Kopp, is the holiday movie line-up. “In addition to our regular titles, we’ve added some “new” classic options to the roster (like The Shop Around the Corner and Christmas in Connecticut) and some tongue-in-cheek holiday titles as well (Die Hard, Bad Santa, etc.),” Kopp said. With this newer movie selection, also comes a new venue. The theater’s small, thirdfloor space – known as The Crown – will feature additional movie screenings. As always, the holiday season will begin with a free community movie on Dec. 2, where everyone is welcome to watch a child-friendly movie with complimentary drinks and popcorn. After the movie, children can meet Santa and his elves. Most things do not stay the same, but the Carolina Theatre is something that has retained much of its history. “If it was built two years later it wouldn’t be the same,” Kopp said. “A piece of information to remember when taking a seat in the auditorium. Remembering the Carolina’s past, and realizing nothing else can compare is what makes this event important.” The 90th celebration of the Carolina Theatre is not going to be something anyone will want to miss, with its enticing schedule of events and as Kopp puts it, “a fun, diverse line-up,” there will be something for everyone. !

[HOROSCOPES]
[LEO (July 23 to August 22) Activities
involving education, travel and siblings are favored. Life is less hectic and more to your liking now. This is a good time to communicate with almost anyone. A nearby road trip would be rejuvenating and it would rest your mind from the usual humdrum.
[VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Think carefully about what is truly important to you now, at this time. Don’t allow old habits or rules from the past to make your decision for you. If you do let that happen, you will truly resent the outcome. Rise above your circumstances to a level that can see beyond your ego and the situation becomes more workable. [LIBRA (September 23 to October 22)
Social and romantic life is favored this week, particularly after the weekend. You may be mixing business and pleasure in a pleasant combination. This is a good time to discuss issues within a relationship because you are steady of mind and likely to be realistic, in relation to yourself as well as others.
[SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) 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. Remain aware that your identity is not at stake in this situation. [SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Stay awake to make note of the “messages” that come your way. They say that you are on the right path. Activities involving the internet, travel, legal interests, education and publications are given positive signals. One or more of these may fall right into your lap. [CAPRICORN (December 22 to Janu-
ary 19) You may come upon a momento that offers favorable feelings of love from earlier in your life. Memories, even if not codified in an object, will help you maintain your sense of balance now. You are in an effective position. Others agree with your guidance and leadership. A project begun near the New Year is beginning to blossom now. Activities involving the internet, publishing, legal interests and travel have favorable signals.
[AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Someone new may enter your life who will encourage you toward personal healing, diet and/or exercise. Your relationship to partner(s), whether marital or business, is favorable. This is a good time
30 YES! WEEKLY
SEPTEMBER 6-12, 2017
[THE ADVICE GODDESS] love • sex • dating • marriage • questions
to discuss important subjects and work toward balanced solutions to relationship problems.
[PISCES (February 19 to March 20) The Pisces Full Moon is in your sign this week. Please see the opening paragraph. This Full Moon is exactly on the planet Neptune, original god of the sea. You may have a need to involve yourself with the arts or with beauty in one of its forms. Don’t worry about yourself if it seems like you are lacking concentration or “zoned out”. This is passing. [ARIES (March 21 to April 19) 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. [TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Much of this week involves marking time and waiting for the right cogs to fall into place. Near Sept. 12, an older person may offer you a gift from your family of origin. Perhaps it represents an “inheritance” that arrives early or a special keepsake. It is meant to grace your home and increase your sense of family ties. [GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Mercury is poised and ready to turn direct. This time for the Twins, the area of focus is related to property, family, and issues of security. You are likely reworking things in one of these territories. Family members may be erratic or hard to pin down, making it difficult to conclude open agendas. Have patience. The full cycle of Mercury will be complete on Sep. 12, 2017. [CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your security is enhanced through your property, your family, and your income. This is one of those “feel good” periods in life. Everything and everyone are in their proper places and all is well again. After a turbulent eclipse month, this is your time to kick back and relax.

Advice Goddess
My husband has a great body, but since we got married two years ago, he has completely stopped working out. One reason I was initially so attracted to him was that he was in great shape. I go to Pilates four times a week. How do I motivate him to go back to the gym? — Toned
If your husband’s starting to see definition in his legs, it shouldn’t be from rolling over and falling asleep on the remote. As for how to get him back into workout mode, consider what psychologists Edward Deci and Richard M. Ryan have learned in studying motivation. They break it down into two categories — intrinsic and extrinsic, fancy terms for internal and external. The extrinsic kind is outside pressure to do something — like nagging from the wife to start going to the gym instead of just driving by the place and waving. Extrinsic pressure tends to motivate defiance rather than compliance — which is to say it’s remarkably effective at bringing out the “terrible twos” in a 46-year-old man. Intrinsic motivation, however, is the kind that Deci and Ryan find leads to lasting change. This is motivation that comes from within a person, meaning that it’s in tune with who they are and what they want for themselves — like abs of steel instead of...wait, there are abs in there? So, the challenge here is not how to make your husband work out but how to get him to start wanting what you want. You’re allowed to make requests of the person you’re married to, so ask him to try something for you — go to the gym... for just three weeks. Reassure him that you still find him hot, but explain that you really, really find him hot when it looks like you could chip a tooth on one of his biceps. The three-week stint — beyond getting him back in the habit of going to the gym — should lead to some positive changes in his body, giving him a sense of accomplishment. Because Deci and Ryan find that feelings of “competence” are an integral part of intrinsic motivation, there’s a good chance he’ll feel motivated to keep working out — instead of trying to get by on making those weightlifter grunts every time he changes the channel.
GETTING A FRIEND TO EXORCISE
I’m trying to get over a breakup, and one of my best friends, in an attempt to help me move on, keeps saying, “He doesn’t want you!” I get that (and I do need to move on), but hearing that makes me feel unlovable and even more depressed. I am seeing what went wrong; I should have believed him when he told me at the very beginning that he was “terrified of relationships.” I’m sure it’s frustrating for her to see me in pain, but I’m just not ready to get back out there. What do I tell her so she stops making me feel worse? — Still Sad Misery sometimes wishes company would shut its big flapping trap. Of course, your friend means well. She just wants Pain and its BFF, Suffering, to bugger off already. However, like most people, she probably doesn’t understand that the sadness you’re experiencing isn’t just a crappy feeling. Like all emotions, it has a job to do. In fact, sadness is a tool, just like a hammer, a plunger, or a Winkelschleifer (German for angle grinder). Psychiatrist and evolutionary psychologist Randolph Nesse explains that “happiness and sadness usually follow experiences of gain or loss,” helping us by “influencing future behavior” in ways that increase our chances of passing along our genes (including surviving long enough to manage that). Happiness, for example, urges us (about whatever led to it), “Do that again and you’ll see even more of me!” Sadness, on the other hand, warns us, “Do that again, missy, and I’ll drag you right back to Boohoosville.” Though sadness can seem like some kind of punishment you don’t remember deserving, Nesse writes that “those people who don’t experience much sadness ... are predicted to engage again in the same behaviors that previously led to loss.” Thank your friend for trying to make you feel better, but tell her that what you need from her is not tough love but the kind that involves hugs, Kleenex, and maybe a snack. Explain the utility of sadness — and how you’re using it as a tool to understand the past and act more wisely in the future. In other words, you aren’t stalling in moving on; you’re learning — and not just how long you have to cry before the neighbors start going to work in rowboats and the government sends in the National Guard with sandbags and a year’s supply of Cheetos. !
