EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK

Teenage car wreck He’s outside the coffeeshop pacing on the sidewalk, just a few years out of drinking from juice boxes, his face growing

by Brian Clarey more red as he listens. He’s got his dad on the line, making the phone call that just about every teenager, myself included, must someday inevitably make: “I hit someone’s car.”

This is not my teenager — mine belong to that cohort of their peer group that has no real interest in driving a car. Why would they, when it’s so much nicer just to ride?

It is, however, my car.

It was parked on the street, and the kid backed his giant pickup just a couple inches too far: a slow-motion, reverse Tbone. I intuit this from the smear of dents and scrapes along my quarter-panel; the pickup is almost completely unscathed.

But the teenager is pretty shaken up.

“I’m so sorry,” he says, red-faced, into the phone. “I’m so sorry,” he says to me.

I flash back to one night in the 1980s,

after I had inadvertently removed one of the side-view mirrors from my mother’s minivan using a tree in a friend’s driveway.

And another one, when my sister scraped my father’s Cadillac against the basketball pole the day he had it painted. And when Dr. Lawyer punched a hole in the grill of his mother’s new Thunderbird. And the time Serf backed into a teacher’s car in the high school parking lot.

I stop myself right there. The list of teenage car wrecks is, like the universe itself, constantly expanding. As far as these things go, this one was fairly innocuous.

“Breathe, kid,” I say. “You’re doing great.” And because I’m a dad, I can’t resist slipping in a teachable moment.

“Remember this,” I say. “You were only going a couple miles an hour, and look what happened. Driving a car can be incredibly dangerous.

“And hey,” I add. “This happens with new drivers all the time. I mean, all the time.”

“That’s what my dad said,” he replies.

My own teenager gets his license in one week; my time on this side of the teenage car wreck equation has just begun.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK It ain’t just Trump’s fault, but Obama didn’t do what he was supposed to either. Now, y’all won’t say ‘amen,’ but we gotta tell the truth.

Q&A with Chef Jay Pierce

by Lauren Barber Chef Jay Pierce came to the Triad in 2006, working first at Lucky 32 and most recently at the Traveled Farmer, which closed in December. On June 2, he debuts as Mozelle’s new executive chef at the restaurant’s Texas Pete Festival booth.

What do you love about Mozelle’s?

They have a sterling reputation in town and it’s just so intimate; it’s cozy.

All the details are attended to and so cared for that you feel like you’re in a big city, it’s this tiny, little big-city place. I’ve never been to Europe, but the stereotype is that everything is run by a proprietor who takes tremendous pride and it’s like welcoming you into their home and that’s what it feels like at Mozelle’s.

What is your favorite dish on the current menu?

The wine-friendly dishes are really the key to that menu. A lot of people rave about the wine list, but I think the food goes hand in hand.

His supporters love it, and go into the midterms energized by the good news. Congressional Republicans, cowed by Trump’s rallying popularity and worried about their own political survival, don’t make peep.

Of course, conventional wisdom says this is a blue-wave election. That being so, 2016 was also supposed to be a wipeout for Trump, and many of us were also wondering aloud whether Republican lawmakers like Sen. Richard Burr would get pulled down in the undertow. Obviously, that didn’t happen. It seems entirely within the realm of possibility that the Democrats could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory yet again.

I won’t take any pleasure in saying, “I told you so.”

Opinion

Nelson W. Cunningham — formerly a federal prosecutor, general counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee and White House Office of Administration who has served variously under Rudy Giuliani, Joe Biden and Bill Clinton — predicts in a recent article in Politico that Special Counsel Robert Mueller will not indict President Trump.

Even so, he expects plenty of upheaval that could play out in unexpected ways just before the November mid-term elections. The prognostication set forth by Cunningham is a twisted path constructed from multiple turns devised out of most likely outcomes.

It goes something like this: With no indictment, the Mueller report lands in the lap of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. To protect grand jury materials, FISA warrants, NSA intercepts and other intelligence findings, Rosenstein either releases a heavily edited executive summary or hands the report off to the Judiciary Committees. Which leads to Trump firing Rosenstein, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions resigning to avoid disgrace.

The unexpected development that Cunningham sees is that the Republican Congress will finally find its backbone and refuse to confirm Sessions and Rosenstein’s replacements, ratcheting up public pressure to release the report.

“And so ironically, Trump may have succeeded in creating narrow majorities where just enough Republicans join every Democrat to demand to see the Mueller report. If they do, court precedent says they will get it. Trump’s efforts to shut down the report could backfire spectacularly.”

My own prognostication is considerably gloomier. For the record, I tend to make political predictions from a place of pessimism. Although I sensed that Trump would win the 2016 election, I also publicly predicted that Gov. Pat McCrory would win re-election on the strength of a white, law-and-order backlash against the protests that erupted in Charlotte after the police killing of Keith Lamont Scott.

Still, even with that disclaimer it seems entirely plausible that the scenario envisioned

by Cunningham might play out in an entirely different way. Imagine a predictable partisan struggle over whether to release the report, while Trump crows that he’s been completely

ICE arrests of immigrants without criminal convictions surge

by Jordan Green Josue Zarate-Maya, a 25-year-old T-shirt screen-printing operator from Mexico, was arrested by an ICE agent near his home in south Greensboro on May 22.

It started out as a Tuesday morning like any other for 25-year-old Josue Zarate-Maya, a machine operator at a local T-shirt screen-printing company, when he left the modest, brick ranch house he shared with his partner in Greensboro’s Spring Valley neighborhood and headed to work.

An agent with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement wearing a vest marked “police” was waiting for ZarateMaya en route to work and took him into custody, starting a process that will likely end in his deportation to his native Mexico, and throwing his family in Greensboro into turmoil.

“We have to move through the immigration process,” said Wendy Chavez, Zarate-Maya’s partner, “and let them know he is the many we know him to be — a good man, a good provider, a good person. Our family needs him here.”

Chavez said she and Zarate-Maya have been together for about two years.

Zarate-Maya is the father of Chavez’s youngest child, and she has four other children from a previous relationship.

“He was the main provider for our family,” Chavez said. “He paid the rent and paid for all kinds of things like school supplies, especially for the youngest of my children. He bought diapers and baby wipes, which can get really expensive.”

Chavez said her partner came to the United States in 2009, initially settling in Atlanta where he hoped to find construction work through a brother who lived there. Eventually, he found his way to Greensboro and discovered that he could make better money working in screenprinting.

Bryan D. Cox, a spokesman for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, confirmed that an agent apprehended Zarate-Maya near his home on May 22. Cox described Zarate-Maya as “a person in the country unlawfully.”

Cox said Zarate-Maya will go before an immigration judge, who will determine whether he is eligible for release on bond pending final determination of his status.

“We have to have hope through the faith we have in God that He will bring him home,” Chavez said. “If that doesn’t

work out, we will be together as a family, one way or another.”

Chavez said the family will try to make a humanitarian case on her partner’s behalf.

“Josue is a good, contributing member of society,” she said. “Our family needs him with us. He didn’t commit a crime.”

ICE arrests of undocumented people without prior criminal convictions, like Zarate-Maya, have risen dramatically since President Trump took office, and nowhere more so than the areas covered by the Atlanta and Philadelphia field offices, where the number of non-criminal arrests jumped by 323 percent between 2016 and 2017. The Atlanta regional office covers Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina, while the Philadelphia office covers Pennsylvania, Delaware and West Virginia. Immigrants with criminal convictions still make up the majority of those arrested, although an ever-diminishing share. During the last two years of the Obama administration, when the Department of Homeland Security rolled out its Priority Enforcement Program focusing convicted felons, gang members and persons deemed to be a national security threat, individuals with criminal convictions accounted for roughly 90 percent of ICE arrests in the Atlanta region. During Trump’s first year in office, the share fell to 67 percent of 13,551 people arrested in the Atlanta region. And to date in 2018, only 61 percent — 4,765 out of 7,788 — arrests involve persons with criminal convictions.

Sen. Dick Durban (D-Ill.) and 16 other Democratic lawmakers submitted a letter to the US Department of Homeland Security on April 27 raising concern that under the leadership of acting ICE Director Thomas Homan the agency Has “greatly reduced the use of prosecutorial discretion and sharply increased arrests and detentions of immigrants with no criminal background instead of focusing ICE’s limited resources on those who pose a threat to our security.”

Homan has led the agency since Jan. 30, 2017 without being confirmed by the Senate.

The lawmakers wrote, “We understand that the Trump administration may be concerned about Mr. Homan answering questions under oath about his leadership of ICE, as well as the

Chavez’s partner was arrested by ICE on May 22.

possibility that Mr. Homan’s nomination could be defeated in the Senate.”

ICE spokesperson Bryan D. Cox emphasized in an interview that what the agency deems “criminal arrests” doesn’t include individuals with pending criminal charges who have not been convicted. A recent analysis by the Pew Research Center found that the majority “non-criminal” arrestees were taken into detention with a pending criminal charge although they had not been convicted.

Cox said that’s the case with ZarateMaya, who faces traffic charges for driving while intoxicated and driving with a revoked license in Guilford County.

Cox said Zarate-Maya was arrested by a State Highway Patrol officer on April 22, adding that the criminal charge was “what put him on ICE’s radar.”

Laura Garduño Garcia, an organizer with Siembra NC — a project of the American Friends Service Committee — said it’s typical for ICE agents to make arrests when undocumented people are commuting to work. And she said the word “police” on the agents’ vests creates confusion. ICE agents don’t wear uniforms although they carry badges identifying their agency.

“They bank on people’s trust in the local police,” Garduño Garcia said. “They

want to cooperate based on the idea that it can be a regular traffic stop. [The agents] will be walking through neighborhoods, and they’ll say, ‘Do you know this person?’… We tell people in the immigrant community: ‘You know your neighbors’ schedule. You know when they’re coming and going to work. Don’t say anything.’”

Cox defended the agency’s practice of putting agents in the field without uniforms and using the word “police.”

“Agents encounter people who speak multiple languages and some who don’t speak English,” Cox said. “‘Police’ is the universally understood term for law enforcement.

Cox made no apology for ICE capitalizing on goodwill built by local law enforcement, but argued that people in immigrant communities shouldn’t let adverse experiences with ICE color their attitude towards local police.

“It’s important to note that local law enforcement has absolutely no authority to make arrests for immigration violations,” Cox said. “A person who is a victim or witness to domestic violence or any other crime, they should have no reluctance to contact local law enforcement.”

The Rev. William Barber (center right) attempts to negotiate entry to the NC General Assembly with a General Assembly police officer.

Two speakers focused their remarks on gun violence.

“When you prioritize a piece of paper and a weapon over human rights, we have a gun problem,” said Lily Levin, a 17-year-old student. “Before we go to school, to our sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, loved ones and friends we say goodbye, knowing that this could be our last goodbye. I stand here in front of you because America has a gun problem.”

Kim Yaman, with Moms Demand Action, recalled helping a group of children practice a Turkish folk dance in a classroom building at the University of Iowa adjacent to a conference room where four researchers were fatally shot by a disgruntled post-doc more than 25 years ago.

“That was 1991 — before Columbine, before Charleston, before Sandy Hook, before Parkland, before any one of hundreds of mass shootings,” Yaman said. “At the time we thought, ‘Oh, this is a once-in-a-lifetime. We’ll get past this.

We’ll move on. We’ll get the counseling.

It will be okay.’ That’s not what happened…. We deserve better. We can do better than this. So stand up. Do not let them back you down for one moment.”

let President Obama or the Democratic Party off the hook. He said, “It ain’t just Trump’s fault, but Obama didn’t do what he was supposed to either. Now, y’all won’t say ‘amen,’ but we gotta tell the truth.”

His voice quivering and rising in volume, Barber said, “When you have 1,500 children missing that’s afraid to even pick up the phone because of what might happen to them… there’s a scripture that I wish could be read to every politician, to the president, to [Attorney General] Jeff Sessions ’cause they claim they believe, they claim they believe!

Maybe they haven’t read that one that said, ‘It would be better for somebody to tie a stone around their neck and to be thrown into the ocean than to offend and hurt these little ones.’

“And it didn’t say, ‘Hurt the black little ones,’” he continued. “Or, ‘Hurt the white little ones.’ Or, ‘Hurt the brown little ones.’ Or, ‘Hurt the Latino little ones.’ Or, ‘Hurt the gay little ones.’ Or, ‘Hurt the straight little ones.’ It said, ‘Any of the little ones.’”

Following Barber’s speech, several people in the audience chanted in appreciation: “Thank you, we love you.”

As president of the North Carolina NAACP, Barber led the Moral Monday Movement, a progressive coalition that protested the hard-right turn by the Republican-controlled General Assembly week after week during the legislative session in 2013 and onward.

“Dr. King said that to continue to put more money in militarism and weaponization — I might paraphrase — in a nation and in a state is to do nothing but have a tragic death wish that will create moral injury, economic injury and will open the way to authoritarianism,” Barber said. “And some of my Jewish friends are telling me, will open the way for fascism. That’s why we have to connect systemic racism, systemic poverty, ecological devastation, the war economy, the proliferation of guns and the false moral narrative.”

In keeping with the theme of the day, Barber focused much of his attention on human needs going unmet because of military spending, and on gun violence, but his speech built to a crescendo when he turned to the issue of immigration policy. Declaring, “We have now weaponized deportation,” Barber didn’t

Sandy Irving, a retired statistician at UNC-Chapel Hill, had been warned that she would be placed under arrest if she refused to leave a hallway outside a committee room where members of the state Senate and House were deliberating on the budget. She told the General Assembly police officer she would stay.

Taking stock of Irving’s walker, the officer held off on making the arrest until the police could procure a wheelchair.

Irving took advantage of the additional time to keep talking.

“You know, the people in North Carolina need healthcare,” she told the officer. “There’s a lot of veterans that come home from war, and they’re hurt. And they can’t get healthcare because North Carolina has not expanded Medicaid, and people are hurting. And some of you policemen might retire and not be able to afford health insurance. And if Medicaid was expanded, then everybody could have healthcare.

“We don’t like the war economy,” Irving continued. “That is an economic draft that drafts our poor. And when our poor are drafted and they come back and they have healthcare problems, and they can’t get healthcare because North Carolina has not expanded Medicaid.

The North Carolina veterans are hurting. They’re committing suicides at enormous rates.”

Irving was the 12th and final person arrested at the North Carolina General Assembly on Tuesday. Some were led out of the committee room with their hands bound in zip ties after disrupting the budget meeting; others were arrested after police said they received “numerous complaints” about chanting and singing in the hallway and ordered them to leave. The civil disobedience in Raleigh was part of a coordinated string of actions in 23 state capitals and the District of Columbia as the third week of the Poor People’s Campaign got underway on Tuesday. The Poor People’ Campaign is a national effort meant to continue the interracial assault on poverty, racism and militarism conceived by the Rev. Martin Luther King before his assassination 50 years ago in 1968. Each day of the campaign has focused on a theme, and Tuesday’s was “The War Economy: Militarism and the Proliferation of Gun Violence.”

Phil Berger becomes a bergermeister

NC Senate Majority Leader Phil Berger is not one of ours — his redrawn District 26 currently covers the entirety of Rockingham County with possible Democrat voters in the northwest quadrant of Guilford County excised by the most recent redistricting.

But the most powerful Republican in North Carolina has been at the source of everything awful the NC Legislature has done since the GOP took over in 2011: HB2, the defunding of teachers and schools, environmental deregulation, the dismantling of the UNC System, our gerrymandered districts, quashing free municipal wifi, blocking public access to police body cameras… good god there are so many more outrages they would take over this whole space.

Suffice it to say, Berger is the sort of guy people are referring to when they say, “The bastards are winning!”

And he’s showing no sign Phil Berger is of slowing down.

Last week, the Rocknot one of ours. ingham County Board of Elections voted along party lines to disqualify Berger’s opponent in his next election, Jennifer Mangrum, his first serious challenger… perhaps ever. Berger ran unopposed in his first election in 2000, back when it was still called District 12. In his eight successful re-election bids, he has run either unopposed, against token Democrats or, once, a Libertarian and, in 2016, a write-in campaign by an Elon professor, Mangrum’s different — a UNCG professor who says she moved to Reidsville this year specifically so she could stay in Berger’s district and run against him on the ballot. She has said she will file an appeal with the state board of elections.

Then this week, Berger gave everyone in the state a reason to root against him.

The state budget process capped off just before midnight on Memorial Day, when Berger and House Speaker Tom Moore released it, without any input from Democrats in either the Senate or the House.

The content of this budget is unimportant — it’s the process here that makes Berger and everyone on his team anti-American. No open deliberations. No public hearings. No committee discussions. No deliberations and no opportunity for amendments.

The 758-page, $23 billion budget, which most legislators saw for the first time on Tuesday morning, is set to be voted on this week, with a predetermined outcome as long as all the Republicans keep their mouths shut and stay on board.

This is what happens when the bastards keep winning, and then stack the deck to make it impossible to lose.

Free speech for people who share our beliefs and culture

Soon after Trump took office in January 2017, campus leftists and antifascists began mobilizing, sometimes violently, to shut down conservative speakers like provocateur Milo Yiannopolous, who amplified the dehumanby Jordan Green izing rhetoric aimed at Muslims, refugees, immigrants and transgender people that helped get Trump elected.

Almost overnight, “free speech” became the rallying cry of the right, but they were already largely primed for it. There’s a whole cottage industry of right-wing media stoking the fear and loathing of liberalism, progressivism and socialism — collapsible and interchangeable terms to their foes. Trying to prevent a speaking engagement at UC Berkeley by Ben Shapiro, the author of Bullies: How the Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences America and Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America’s Youth, might not have been the most optically sound tactic.

Alt-right trolls on the Daily Stormer website and 4chan discussion boards gleefully churned out violently antiSemitic memes intended to red-pill potential recruits and trigger opponents. The newly-minted Proud Boys and the gladiatorial “Based Stickman” Kyle Chapman hit the streets in Berkeley to do battle with Antifa during “free speech” rallies in Berkeley last April. Emerging groups like Identity Evropa, who cloaked their white nationalism in softer rhetoric about preserving Western civilization, melted into the crowd. Right-wing patriot militias could claim to be supporting the First Amendment while maintaining plausible denial about white nationalism.

President Trump, notably, has never made much claim to support free speech.

During a March 2016 rally in Fayetteville, where a supporter punched a black protester who was being escorted out of the arena, Trump said, “They used to treat them very, very rough, and when they protested once, they would not do it again so easily.”

And scarcely a month after Trump’s moral equivalency about “blame on both sides” in Charlottesville, while defending those who protested taking down the statue of Robert E. Lee and criticizing “the alt-left that came charging,” Trump squarely attacked black NFL players protesting police brutality.

Trump had previously suggested that people who burn the flag should go to jail — a blatant violation of the Constitution. In contrast, the gesture made by Colin Kaepernick and other players was solemn, even respectful expression of dissent — kneeling during the National Anthem.

“Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when someone disrespects our flag, you’d say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out! He’s fired,’” Trump said to loud applause while campaigning for US Senate

candidate Luther Strange in Huntsville, Ala. Notably, “I Stand” Facebook profile photos blossomed on the pages of many of the same patriot militia activists who only five months earlier made righteous sermons in support of the First Amendment rights of conservative speakers in Berkeley.

Now that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has decreed that all players must stand to show respect for the flag and the anthem (with the bizarre carve-out that players who choose to not stand for the anthem may stay in the locker room, as if protest is a private act like prayer), the right is suddenly no longer the champion of free speech.

The NFL protest ban is the perfect emblem of a new study by Steven V. Miller and Nicholas T. Davis, two political scientists at Clemson University and Texas A&M University respectively, entitled “White Outgroup Intolerance and Declining Support for American Democracy.” Using data from the World Values Survey, the authors found strong evidence to suggest that white people who fear becoming a minority are comfortable abridging democratic freedoms as a trade-off for maintaining racial dominance.

“White Americans who would not want an immigrant/ foreign worker, someone who spoke a different language, or someone from a different race as a neighbor are more likely to support strongman rule in the United States, rule of the US government by the army, and are more likely to outright reject having a democracy for the United States,” the authors write.

Trump frequently signals to his aggrieved white base.

Many of the ideologically committed activists in the white nationalist movement — a comparatively small cohort — have grown impatient with the president.

They make no pretense at venerating the democratic processes or the Constitution.

Michael Hill, president of the League of the South — one of the larger groups in the Nationalist Front coalition that supplied shock troops for the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville — said in a 2013 speech: “We’re not wedded in the League or in the true South to a universal proposition. Equality, democracy, the universal rights of man — all of these poisonous things that have been foisted upon us we’ve been conditioned to think are good. No, we are wedded to a real historical order, based on, as I said, blood and soil, kith and kin.”

Democracy is not compatible with a politics built around racial or religious identity.

Lest there be any doubt about the League’s agenda, Hill lays it out pretty clearly in an April 25 open letter: “We have radicalized by openly and directly addressing the Negro (and general dark-skinned) Question and the Jew Question. We are de facto and openly professed white/Southern nationalists, meaning that we seek to restore the South to the dominance of the white man and to make it our own ethno-state for our posterity.”

n 1971, Truman Capote could have bought any typewriter he wanted.

This was five years after the publication of In Cold Blood, his seminal nonfiction novel, and 10 years after the film version of Breakfast at Tiffany’s made him a rich man. Capote says he wrote both of these manuscripts by hand, in pencil. Yet for his typing he chose the Smith-Corona Electra 110, a sturdy workhorse that merged the best features of the old iron manuals and the dawning computer age.

Ernest Hemingway preferred to write by hand, too, though he used a typewriter to write dialogue, usually standing.

His 1929 manual Underwood Standard, surprisingly small against the author’s outsized legacy, must have proved up to the task.

They’re both part of the collection of Steve Soboroff, the current president of the Los Angeles Police Commission and onetime mayoral candidate for that city, who has been gathering them since 1999. Some of his most prized typewriters are on display at the Greensboro History Museum through Aug. 19.

he rain couldn’t stop the music.

Clad in raincoats and ponchos and with umbrellas spanning overhead, the crowd stretched across the grassy field of Bailey Park in Winston-Salem’s Innovation Quarter.

Heavy clouds rolled across the sky, just above the tops of old brick tobacco chimneys, but the weather was hushed behind the roar of the crowds, behind the wailing guitars and thunder of drums.

May 25 marked the opening night of the Gears & Guitars Festival in downtown Winston-Salem. The weekend-long event brought performances by national acts Cold War Kids, Blues Traveler and Jason Isbell, in conjunction with the Winston-Salem Cycling Classic. Hundreds of cyclists raced through the city-wide course for the annual four-day competition, but it was the evening events that brought the weekend’s sweet release.

With the anticipation of nostalgic headliners Blues Traveler on Saturday night, the crowd sat through the scattered rain. Some took shelter under thin branches of maple trees or under the beer tents, while hundreds more embraced the wet for a chance to get next to the stage.

Fans sang along at full voice as Soul Asylum played “Runaway Train.” Blues Traveler kept the audience dancing through the night, playing their catalog of hits that span their 30-year career.

And yet the nostalgia could only carry so far past the hits the majority of the crowd knew. All seemed to be constantly building to the weekend’s main event of Jason Isbell on Sunday night.

Four-time Grammy winner and former member of Drive-by Truckers, Jason Isbell and his band the 400 Unit filled the park to near capacity. Fans held parties in nearby apartment buildings facing the park, and as the night rolled on, windows opened and balconies shook under dancing feet several stories high, overlooking the raucous crowds that stood cheering below.

Since beginning his solo career, Isbell has released six records, two of which won Grammy awards for Best Album.

Isbell’s music is deeply rooted in the folk tradition of country-rock. His songwriting neatly aligns with Neil Young and Ben Howard yet pushes forward with deeply passionate and heart wrenchingly powerful vocals. Isbell is married to singer, songwriter and fiddle player

Jason Isbell’s set was the crown jewel of the Gears & Guitars lineup, which also included Blues Traveler and Cold War Kids, in Winston-Salem over the weekend.

Amanda Shires, with whom Isbell performed before his band took the stage behind him. The crowd’s applause and cheers bellowed among city buildings; the near electric energy emanating from both performers stirred the air of the festival to something beyond a simple musical performance, but rather, gave a glimpse into the power of music.

Fans were in tears as they sang word for word along with Shires and Isbell, happily exchanging the view through cellphone screens for the real thing. Rows of bright-colored lawn chairs sat empty across the hill as the crowd stood to dance and sing and moved closer to the stage.

SPENCER KM BROWN

The rain was dried up towards the end of the night, and in a nearly picturesque scene, the moon glowed warm and pale as the music carried on late into the night. And while each day of the festival saw a brilliant array of performances and attendance numbers topping previous days, it was Isbell’s set that made sitting through the rain worthwhile.

It was a moment of art’s perfection for Winston-Salem. For three consecutive years the festival has grown considerably in size, with 2018 recording record numbers for the event. Sports blended with music, bringing something special to the heart of Winston’s expanding downtown scene.

amboo has a reputation: an ever-metastasizing nuisance; a third-world weed; “the poor man’s timber.” But it wasn’t always like this. River cane — one of three bamboo varieties native to the American southeast — once flourished along Carolina riverbeds and across vast, dense acreages known as canebrakes.

“As a part of the colonization of America, European settlers fed their cattle on the giant timber bamboo because it was the most nutritious thing, outcompeting and driving the buffalo away, which was itself part of the effort to eradicate native people, the Cherokee in this region in particular,” farmer Everest Holmes says. Currently a mushroom farmer outside Asheville, he finds himself among a younger generation of farmers seeking to rethink the hows and whys of small-scale agriculture.

“To me, [bamboo] is the epitome of regenerative farming because it lives for so long and is good for the environment, producing three times more oxygen than any other plant,” Holmes says. “You’re getting a timber product, a food source and a potential agrotourist attraction.”

On May 24, he found himself walking NC A&T University’s farmland as the Cooperative Extension co-hosted a free workshop on cultivating bamboo as a cash crop, along with OnlyMoSo USA Corps, a sales and consulting company focused on the creation and maintenance of bamboo plantations.

OnlyMoso pitched to around two dozen convening farmers from across the Carolinas and Virginia. Importing bamboo seeds and plants from abroad is illegal in the United States, but private companies filled the resource gap in the decades since the US Department Agriculture’s bamboo program went dark in the early ’70s as the country focused on corn, wheat and soy, and made big shifts in production, moving towards the factory-farm model.

David Benfield, a bamboo consultant and co-founder of Brightside Bamboo, the largest bamboo nursery in the Carolinas, attended. He says there are several species highly suitable for commercial farming in North Carolina.

“We typically think of bamboo as an Asian plant, and it’s not — there’s bamboo native to every continent ex-
