Who Knew? Who Cares?

I am an idiot. I have been writing about the Selig development right behind Flagpole on the old Armstrong & Dobbs property. And I have been writing about the rails-to-trails re-development of the CSX railroad line that starts right down the hill from us on East Broad Street. Moreover, I have been walking down the hill most mornings to get a cup of locally brewed coffee at Jittery Joe’s Roasting Co., which is scheduled to be demolished as soon as the Selig project finally gets rolling. And I have thrilled to the heroic efforts of our citizens who have risen up in opposition, including but not limited to Patterson Hood and his merry band, who have tried to do through music what the city won’t do through zoning. All this has come to naught, and soon we will have yet more student apartments and parking decks wrapped in a veneer of retail spaces—the new downtown: the wave of the present.

Come to find out, there is the equivalent of a Native American graveyard right in the middle of the Selig/Armstrong & Dobbs project-property. (See former Commissioner Carl Jordan’s opinion piece on p. 8 and John Huie’s story on p. 9.)

What we have, and who knew, is an old railroad bed that ran parallel to the Georgia Railroad (CSX) line that is the basis of what is now called the Firefly Trail, which is a rails-to-trails conversion that, if it is ever built, will provide a level path from East Broad Street across the North Oconee through Dudley Park and on toward Winterville. Right alongside that rail route was another one, crossing East Broad right below where Roasters is now, following the level ground through what is now the Armstrong & Dobbs property and curving toward Oconee Street, where it crossed and went over toward campus and downtown.

The whole point about railroads, as you know, is that they follow level ground. That rail spur crossing East Broad alongside the Georgia Railroad line did not go uphill from there. As railroads do, it skirted the hill and found level ground toward the campus.

Recognizing the efficacy of already established transportation corridors, our local government years ago adopted laws that protect those routes against development. See Carl’s Comment, and look at the map with this Pub Notes, a detail from an 1895 map of Athens. What you see is the present rail line cutting under Oconee Street and then farther down Broad Street, you see the other line crossing East Broad and curving through what is now Armstrong and Dobbs (area 265 on the map here). That is level ground, folks, skirting around one of the steepest hills in Athens. Railroads abhor hills, and so do pedestrians and bikers.

So, what we have is a rail corridor protected by our laws that should have been a dealbreaker for the Selig development but has not even been an issue, since our government has stayed mum about it.

Selig will plop its massive development right down on top of this level path to the campus in spite of the law protecting that corridor. Our progressive Athens-Clarke Commission will look the other way and give Selig the green light on July 2, and our unprogressive mayor will gladly rubber stamp it. We’ll have more student apartments, more chain stores, chain gyms, chain restaurants and chain bars, more parking decks, more cars and reduced accessibility between the rail-trail, the campus and downtown. What by bold resolve could have been an organic extension of downtown Athens, instead becomes Atlanta.

city dope Occupy the Fire Station?

Selig: Until late last week, it appeared that Selig Enterprises’ virtual second downtown east of the original would sail through. And it still might. But in the grand Athens tradition of raising last-minute objections, as John Huie and former commissioner Carl Jordan detail on p. 8 and p. 9, there may be a serious problem with the development’s connection between Firefly Trail and Oconee Street. Whether it will make any difference is anyone’s guess, but the final vote is Tuesday, July 2, so time is of the essence.

Commissioner Doug Lowry quizzed Police Chief Jack Lumpkin and ACC Attorney Bill Berryman on what could be done to stop people from lurking around the landfill or the water treatment plant. They could be charged with crimes.

Meanwhile, about 20 protestors stood around the room holding signs (public comment is not allowed at committee meetings).

Jesse Houle wrote on a whiteboard: “Sounds like we already have laws for anything we need them for.”

Blake Aued

Downtown Plan: People for a Better Athens asked downtown master plan author Jack Crowley to present it to the group last week. It was mostly stuff we’ve heard before, but Crowley dropped a few interesting tidbits about the plan, which he hopes to wrap up in the coming weeks.

• Crowley predicts an astonishing 10 million boardings a year on a passenger train he’s proposing for the railroad running through the Multimodal Center and East Campus. For comparison, Athens Transit carries a little under two million annual riders.

• ACC can lease city-owned land to developers if they promise to use it for artists’ studios, affordable housing or something else the community wants, that the market won’t provide.

• Firefly Trail is “the single most stunning opportunity” for downtown. (Please see references to the Selig development elsewhere in this issue.)

Protesters rally against the public curfew law.

• Speaking of Selig, its plans call for demolishing the Jittery Joe’s Roasting Co.’s old metal warehouse. But Lowry also envisioned a scenario in which people camped Crowley wants to move it across the street, where he wants to out at fire stations, blocking the trucks. Lumpkin said the fire convert a stormwater pond in front of the Multimodal Center chief could have them removed, and they could be charged into a park. with trespassing or interfering with a government function.

• For $10 million, we could publicly finance a 2,500-seat Berryman wasn’t so sure. “If somebody wanted to set up a amphitheater, managed and programmed by the Classic Center. tent on the Five Points [station] grassy area, I’m not sure the Sports more your thing? How about a baseball stadium and a chief, the fire chief, could legitimately say that’s interfering minor league team at Lay Park? with a government function.”

But the proposed law doesn’t deal with fire stations or landPublic Curfew: The controversial Occupy ordinance—also fills. It would restrict access to City Hall, the courthouse and known as the public curfew law—is on its last legs after the the planning department grounds. Lowry and commissioners Athens-Clarke Commission’s Legislative Review Committee Allison Wright and George Maxwell said the public should be voted June 18 to recommend that the full commission not pass able to see the veterans’ monument, the Spirit of Athens statue it. or the double-barreled cannon anytime they want.

People should be able to demonstrate and promote their ideas, Girtz said, but not in a way that impedes other citizens or damages public property.

There may be a need for a public curfew law in theory, but in practice? Not really, Girtz said. Wright decided “this doesn’t address my concerns.”

Houle’s whiteboard: “Motion to abandon this unnecessary, reactionary nonsense.”

And Lowry made one. Wright seconded it, and it passed 4-0.

The recommendation makes it unlikely that the 10-member full commission would pass the law when it comes up for a vote, probably in August, dealing a political blow to Mayor Nancy Denson, who had assigned it to the LRC. Need for Speed: Should drivers set their own speed limits?

In a sense, they do, according to ACC traffic engineer Steve Decker.

To be enforced by radar, local speed limits must be approved by the state, and they must be set no higher than 85 percent of the traffic is already moving. “Typically, 85 percent of the drivers drive to the conditions of the roadway,” Decker told Flagpole.

After making some speed checks, ACC is proposing to lower speed limits on Whitehall Road and on Atlanta Highway near the Caterpillar plant at the intersection with Highway 78 in Bogart. Drivers on Whitehall “are actually doing 40” rather than the posted 50 miles per hour, Decker said, so that will be the new speed limit.

Decker thinks car crashes are relatively few in Athens, compared to other places he’s worked, perhaps because of good policing here. And those that do happen aren’t usually about speed, he said: “Most of our crashes have to do with people on a cell phone.” [John Huie] Roundabouts: Americans aren’t used to roundabouts—traffic circles that often handle traffic more efficiently than stoplights—but they are widely used in other countries, and the Georgia Department of Transportation now encourages their use.

Athens’ first roundabout will be built at the intersection of Tallassee and Whitehead roads. At a recent public hearing, “approximately half were for and half were against” building a roundabout instead of a stoplight, said ACC Traffic Engineering Administrator Jerry Oberholtzer. A second roundabout is planned at the far end of Milledge Avenue at Whitehall Road but may not be built until increased traffic counts justify it, perhaps around 2020. In the meantime, that intersection will be graded to improve sight lines.

Oberholtzer thinks drivers will get used to roundabouts, because, “If you [design] the first one right, then people understand it.” At least a dozen modern roundabouts (as opposed to courthouse squares, which operate similarly) already exist in Georgia, according to GDOT.

Both Parties Have Bad Ideas Several years ago, the Georgia Democratic Party enacted rules to guarantee racial and sexual diversity among its leaders.

Today, however, the Democratic Party finds itself in the position of holding an election for state chairman where only white males are eligible to run. That obviously sends out a very mixed message about diversity.

Democrats are in this fix because of the recent resignation of state chairman Mike Berlon. They have scheduled a meeting of the state committee for Aug. 17 to elect his replacement.

The party’s rules provide that the top two leadership positions, chairman and first vice chair, cannot be held by persons of the same race and gender. Because the first vice chair, Nikema Williams, is a black woman, party rules mean that only white male candidates are eligible to run for state chairman.

When Williams distributed an email to state committee members announcing the upcoming election, she reminded them: “The Charter, therefore, restricts candidates in this special election by race. Thus, any white male Democrat is eligible to run in this special election.�

The rules may have already knocked a female candidate out of the race. Former Gwinnett County legislator Mary Hodges Squires announced her candidacy for the position three weeks ago, but the diversity rules mean she would not be eligible to run.

It is an awkward situation for a party whose members often criticize Georgia Republicans for their lack of diversity. Most of the Republican legislators in the General Assembly are white and the seven statewide constitutional officers are all white Republican males. Democrats are now being told they also have to vote for a white male.

Williams, who is serving as acting state chairman, says the diversity rules have been a positive accomplishment.

“It shows the progress that we’ve made in the South, particularly with the Democratic Party,� she said. “I think we’ve come a long way and it’s something we should be proud of. I’m glad we’ve come to the point where minorities are well-represented.

There would seem to be a simple solution here. The Democratic Party could allow anyone who is interested in the position to run for the chairman’s job. If the winner turns out to be someone other than a white male, then Nikema Williams could offer to step down as first vice chair. That way, the rules would be upheld and Democrats could elect the best qualified person for the chairman’s job, regardless of race or gender.

On the other side of the partisan aisle, some of the activists in Georgia’s Republican Party have been pushing an idea that is as questionable as the Democrats’ white-only requirement for state chairman.

It has been proposed that the GOP abandon its system of nominating candidates for public office by holding a primary election where everyone gets to vote.

Instead, party activists in would nominate candidates in local caucuses.

The proponents of this “Virginia Plan� argue that it would restore power to the grassroots and nullify the power of the party establishment, with its financial resources and influence, to determine who gets the nomination for public office. In reality, the plan would ensure that party insiders decide Republican nominees rather than rank-and-file voters who participate in elections.

The Republican Party’s state committee discussed the idea during a recent meeting in Milledgeville but finally decided to reject it. I think the Republicans displayed a lot of common sense in that decision. Let’s see if Democrats can do the same with their election for chairman.

Michael Adams uses a backhoe in 2001 to start converting a parking lot at Herty Field into greenspace.

Retiring Adams Supersized Campus

One of the first priorities was erecting new science buildings to relieve overcrowding and take advantage of grant money available for research. Most of those—the Animal Health Research Center, the Edgar L. Rhodes Animal Dairy Sciences Complex, the Paul D. Coverdell Center for Biomedical and Health Sciences and the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center and the Veterinary Learning Center that’s under construction—went on South Campus.

There was one major exception: the Health Sciences Campus on Prince Avenue. After the federal Base Realignment and Closure Commission moved the Navy Supply Corps School to Rhode Island in 2005, Davison appointed a committee to find a new use that then, in turn, handed it over to the university.

While some people at the time worried about the new campus worsening traffic and driving multifamily development, it’s

eidi Davison had just become mayor in 2003 when the University of Georgia’s then-athletic director, Vince Dooley, had to bring by some documents. The Athletic Association needed her to sign off on $8 million in bonds to add 27 new suites to Sanford Stadium.

“Basically, what I said to them was, ‘Bottom line, don’t come back,’” Davison recalls. “’That stadium is already 92,000 people. That’s 92,000 people who don’t live here. We can’t handle any more.’”

Conflicts like that lie at the heart of town-gown relations under UGA President Michael Adams, who is stepping down after 17 years at the end of the month. The university is Athens’ largest employer; faculty, staff, students and football fans pump $2.1 billion a year into the local economy, according to a 2011 Terry College of Business study. The dozens of campus facilities built or renovated under Adams have helped launch UGA into the upper echelon of public universities. The growth has benefited Athens, but not without the occasional price— cramped parking in residential neighborhoods, raucous fraternities pushed out into communities and threats to beloved institutions like Legion Pool, to name a few examples.

The Master Plan The unprecedented period of expansion started when former President Charles Knapp initiated a master planning process in 1996, but it didn’t really take off until the Board of Regents hired Adams in 1997.

“That was about the time Mike came in, and he really saw the power of the plan,” Vice President for Facilities Danny Sniff says. “It was really him pushing it along. He really saw the Michael Adams with incoming President Jere Morehead (left) at a press conference. power in these big, thematic ideas.” worked out well, according to Dan Lorentz, president of the The plan, adopted in 1998, called for building and updatHistoric Boulevard Neighborhood Association. ing residence halls, adding more than a million square feet of classroom space and making the campus more walkable by “The fact that the old fences that used to surround the Navy school are coming down, in many places at least, is building parking decks on the outskirts and turning acres of helping to make the campus feel accessible again, part of the surface lots into greenspace. All in all, the campus has seen neighborhood,” he says. “There’s still some rediscovery of the $1.3 billion worth of construction during Adams’ tenure.

campus that has to take place before it really feels like it’s integrated into the whole fabric of the neighborhood, but I think that’s going to happen.”

The Greeks But the new campus “contributed to a sense of urgency to get Prince Avenue right,” Lorentz says meaning thoughtful zoning that protects neighborhoods and encourages mixed use development and safer pedestrian crossings.

One of Adams’s decisions that didn’t go over so well was to push fraternities off Lumpkin Street to make way for new academic buildings. They were offered land in a new “Greek Park” on River Road on East Campus, but several turned it down.

Kappa Alpha—a fraternity known for its Old South imagery that, until a few years ago, even paraded on horseback in Confederate uniforms—took nearly everyone by surprise when they announced plans in 2006 to build their new house on Hancock Avenue in a primarily African-American neighborhood.

“The blood begins to boil,” resident Bertha Troutman-Rambeau said at the time. “You have to know the history. They believe the South will rise again. It will not.”

The KAs snuck in their plans under the gun hours before the Athens-Clarke Commission was set to declare a moratorium on Greek houses off campus. The brouhaha led to a new law requiring commission approval for new fraternity and sorority houses.

The nearby Cobbham neighborhood has been affected as well. Sigma Nu and Sigma Chi both tried to buy property in the neighborhood but abandoned their plans in the face of residents’ opposition.

And in Five Points, residents opposed Chi Phi’s plans to buy the Arnocroft House on South Milledge Avenue and build a new chapter house next door, but the commission approved it anyway in 2010.

Administrators were caught off guard by the fraternity issue, Sniff says. They expected the Greeks to either move to River

Still, Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation Executive Director Amy Kissane gives Adams high marks for historic preservation.

“The 11 years I’ve been here, I’d say overall, the university’s record on historic preservation is quite good,” she says. “There are exceptions,” such as Rutherford and the red barn that UGA moved to make way for athletic fields and is now allowing to collapse.

And don’t forget those all-important athletics (which, after presiding over record sports spending, Adams advised the next president to reign in). In addition to the Sanford expansion, Adams renovated Stegeman Coliseum, built a new basketball training facility next door, expanded the intramural fields and the practice facilities at Butts-Mehre Athletics Heritage Hall, and built the Dan Magill Tennis Center and a plaza honoring his old nemesis, Dooley, whom he infamously forced into retirement in 2004. That incident, maybe the ugliest of Adams’ career, led to a revolt by key donors who split off to form a new fundraising foundation (as detailed in Rich Whitt’s Behind the Hedges) and sportswriters excoriating him as imperious and hot-tempered.

Adams has discussed his legacy with reporters several times as his tenure has drawn to a close, and he takes pride in all these new facilities and the programs they house. His views on the university’s relationship with the city, though, are more mixed.

This is how he described it in his final State of the University address:

“The old and oft-repeated saws about how much land UGA owns and how much UGA doesn’t pay in taxes are not only short-sighted, they are potentially harmful to our state support base. They contribute to a negative feeling in Atlanta, not widely shared by our funding partners, who still believe that sending some $400 million of taxpayer money every year to Athens is a pretty strong level of commitment.”

Adams declined to elaborate, but Davison chalked up those comments to temporary frustration.

“I think there were a lot of events close together that drew attention from the public, and none of it was positive,” she says.

“If you look at the total picture of what was accomplished, you may not like everything he did. You may not like him as a person. You may think he’s great.

But in the overall picture, he’s had a positive impact on the university, and that’s had a positive The fraternities and Legion Pool had something else in comimpact on the community.” mon: Adams wanted to make a way for a new West Campus.

“You never really fully can gauge how the community will react, what will be a hot-button issue for them,” he says.

Another example is Legion Pool, a popular relaxation spot for faculty and their families built during the Depression.

Saying that the pool was outdated and underused and the land was too valuable for such a use, UGA administrators proposed filling it in last year, turning it into greenspace and, presumably, developing it at some point.

Adams said last year that he didn’t understand the fuss about Legion Pool and was exasperated by the attention given to it, at, he thought, the expense of other issues like the shrinking state higher education budget. But he gave in.

On Tuesday, July 2 the Athens-Clarke County Commission conformance evaluated as required by zoning procedures. Not will be voting on a development request by Selig Enterprises surprisingly, therefore, this rail-trail link went unnoticed. that will change the commercial landscape of downtown, and Instead, planners and commissioners expressed a desire, from the discussion at last Thursday’s agenda-setting meeting, somehow, to connect the Firefly Trail to the Selig project, it is a done deal. It shouldn’t be. without recognizing their duty to assess the TCCM corridors.

Selig is spending $90 million to develop the Armstrong & Yes, they were concerned by the design’s steep, five-foot-wide, Dobbs and other properties between Oconee and East Broad ramped connection to the Selig plaza, and they worried about streets, including streets, signalized intersections and other goodies exactly the way we like it. Selig will even provide a binding site plan in return for ACC bending the rules slightly to allow 15 street-level apartments where the zoning ordinance requires commercial space. The planning director assures commissioners that all other aspects of the project meet the requirements of our zoning code. And everyone asserts that without this small exception, Selig would be otherwise free to build it their way instead of ours.

But local government officials ments. For the same reason, but with some lacked enthusiasm for such a speculative plan reservations, the advisory planning commisat a time when tax revenues were down and sion approved the proposal unanimously. budgets were being cut.

No public input was taken on the proposal last week, but citizens can have their say John Huie

couple of years ago, Pamela Thompson was working for a Virginia county government when her father, who lives in Georgia, was diagnosed with cancer.

When her contract expired, the Southwest Georgia native decided to move back home.

“I kind of had that epiphany: ‘Hey, instead of picking jobs, you can pick where you live,’” she told Flagpole earlier this month.

“I decided I need to get back to Georgia and reconnect.”

Thompson had been to Athens before and was struck by the city’s combination of bigcity culture and small-town hospitality, so she chose to live here when she came back to Georgia, even though she didn’t have a job lined up.

Meanwhile, after a series of disagreements with Executive Director Kathryn Lookofsky over issues like whether to move in with the Athens Area Chamber of Commerce, whether to hire a University of Georgia professor or a private firm to write a downtown master plan and whether the Athens Downtown Development Authority or Athens-Clarke County was responsible for keeping downtown clean, the ADDA board and Lookofsky, “by mutual agreement,” did not renew her contract, which expires at the end of the month. The search began for a new executive director.

Thompson was one of 160 people to apply and was named a finalist along with Shannon Bell-Logan, an assistant city manager in Murfreesboro, TN. The ADDA board voted unanimously June 17 to hire Thompson.

Since moving here, Thompson said, she has attended events like the Parade of Lights and the Twilight Criterium and often takes her dog, Cowboy, for walks downtown.

She hopes to jump into the job quickly.

“There will be a short learning curve,” she said. “I love Athens. I chose to move here prior to my Pamela Thompson job opportunity.”

The ADDA board was looking for someone with a combination of planning and economic development experience, and Thompson fits the bill.

Her resume includes degrees in communications, theater arts and public administration from Mercer University and Georgia Southern University and stints in Georgia as an economic development assistant in Roswell; assistant to the city manager in Powder Springs; planner, planning director and assistant county administrator in Lee County; as well as real estate assessor, director of planning, economic development director, director of community development and deputy county administrator in Prince George County, VA. During her career, she has helped lure a Rolls-Royce plant to Prince George County, and she oversaw infrastructure preparation for it.

She started that county’s first farmers market, and she wrote a comprehensive plan, zoning

ordinances and grant applications for Lee County. She has even judged parades, she said.

ADDA Chairman Bill Overend responded to rumors that the board hired Thompson to focus on drawing more development to downtown. Overend said that the position has always been, in part, an economic development position.

“Don’t think there’s some new focus on attracting big new developments or developers,” he said. “That’s a misunderstanding of what we mean by ‘big D’ development.”

Part of Thompson’s job, in conjunction with the downtown master plan, will be to create a vision of what downtown should be like five or 10 years from now, Overend said, and that will include looking at the mix of businesses downtown.

For example, there may be too many student apartments, too much retail and not enough offices downtown, he said, noting that a major downtown law firm, Fortson, Bentley & Griffin, moved to Oconee County a few years ago.

“I think that’s part of the downtown neighborhood fabric, having folks coming downtown to work every day and eat lunch every day and bringing clients downtown every day,” he said.

For Thompson’s part, she said she will seek a balance between helping and promoting existing businesses and recruiting new ones.

The majority of growth downtown will come from existing businesses expanding, she said,

“I love Athens. I chose to move here prior to my job opportunity.”

but there may be goods and services that are missing from downtown, like a corner market or a general store. She said she plans to “ask people what they want, ask people what they need.”

She said in an interview two weeks ago that she attended one downtown master plan meeting but is not fully up to speed on it.

She did, however, like the idea of a linear park along Jackson Street, which she compared to Monument Avenue in Richmond, VA. “Maybe it’s the history of (Athens),” she said. “Maybe it’s the history of the music and arts scene.”

Thompson’s official start date is July 8.

The new executive director will make $77,500 a year, about in the middle of the range the ADDA was offering.

above the portico but has an additional strip of windows between them to allow more natural light into the building.

The new building will also feature dormer windows in the wings. While the fenestration patterns of the old and new Rutherford halls are the same, the new version has wider and taller windows. Like the additional dormers, the larger windows will bring in more natural light. The windows also match those on the addition to Myers Hall and other new buildings on campus, such as Tate II and the Special Collections Library.

The rooms in the new dorm are double and single rooms with private baths. There are also multiple laundry and kitchen facilities, study and computer rooms and a large gathering area for social events. To continue both the social and historic thread of the building, the layout and footprint of the original parlors and fireplaces have been maintained. Though the new fireplaces are not functional, the original mantles, featuring mosaic tiles placed there by past residents, have been refurbished and will be reused. There are also four original paneled doors, taken from former bedrooms, that will be used as wall treatment in the gathering area.

The exterior light fixtures and ornamental railing on the outside gardens will also be reused. Although the Office of University Architects wanted to reuse the columns from the back portico, they were not able to, since the columns varied in length from one to another by as much as three inches.

While the preservationist in me always wishes historic buildings could be saved—not only for historic integrity but also sustainability—I am still very much excited at the prospect of seeing the new Rutherford Hall once it is completed.

The architectural renderings look great, and I think it’s wonderful that the architects have paid homage to the old building, not only by creating a visually similar building but also by using salvaged elements from the old. New memories will be created by the students who live in the new Rutherford Hall.

Despite the protests of many preservationists, historians, faculty, students and alumni throughout the country, Rutherford Hall was demolished last June.

The women’s dormitory was built in 1939 by the Public Works Administration under President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal program. Located on what is now referred to as Myers Quad (though Myers Hall was not built until 1953), Rutherford originally served as a dorm on the Women’s Campus alongside Mary Lyndon Hall and Soule Hall.

While Myers, Mary Lyndon and Soule were all retrofitted within the past 10 years, Rutherford was not as lucky. Several factors contributed to the demise of Rutherford Hall: The UGA administration determined that it was not well built to begin with, as with many PWA projects. The administration also deemed the cost of retrofitting it to be too high. And, as a dormitory, it had undergone significant damage over its 73-year history.

While many people, including me, were upset to lose Rutherford Hall, I am excited to see the new version, which is scheduled for completion next month. The new dorm gives a nod to the old in many ways.

For starters, it has nearly the same footprint. Though the new building is larger, featuring 260 bedrooms and housing 100 more students Out with the old… than its predecessor, it still maintains the historic shape, with the main body of the building running parallel to Myers Quad and matching wings running perpendicular to the quad.

It features the same grandiose stairway topped with a columned portico.

When word of the demolition spread, one of the major concerns was the porch. Rutherford Hall was known for its porch, and like any good Southern home, the porch played a vital role in the community and social atmosphere of the dorm. (Russell Hall, while full of freshman memories for me, sadly lacked a porch; instead students were encouraged to gather around the big-screen TV.) The pediment-topped portico on the back, or street side, of the new building also matches the original.

The new building also maintains the gabled dormer windows

…and in with the new.

the athens diet Peter Dale Eats Bar Food, Family Meal and Local Grub In The Athens Diet, we ask local luminaries to record everything they eat and drink for one week. For Peter Dale, head chef at The National, food is not only a lifestyle, but also a career. So what does a world-class chef eat when he’s not preparing the menu for others? Find out below.

I eat a few bites of our family meal, pork in a spicy sauce and a salad of local lettuces, radishes and marinated onions.

Friday: Fridays are always hectic and usually a blur. We are hosting a rehearsal dinner at Ciné, in addition to regular dining room service. My meals today consist of what the staff prepares for family meal, plus a few other bites here and there. I guess it’s ironic that I am surrounded by beautiful and healthy food, but some days I’m too busy to stop and enjoy it myself.

While I love creative and imaginative dishes, I am like anyone else in that I generally crave comfort foods. One of my grandmothers lived with us when I was a kid. She would cook for us when my parents would go out of town. My favorite meal consisted of beef cutlets dredged in an egg wash and crushed saltines. She would fry the cutlets and serve them with mountains of mashed potatoes. It was the simplest dish, but I can still taste it after all these years.

Monday: It’s Memorial Day, and the restaurant is closed for lunch and only open for a wedding party tonight. After a busy weekend, this means I can start the day slowly. The old saying, “The cobbler’s children have no shoes” is a good way to describe my refrigerator. There is nothing to eat. Fortunately, I just got a Chemex coffee maker, so at least I can make a great cup of coffee. At the moment, I’m really enjoying African beans, and today I’m using Gitesi from Rwanda by 1000 Faces.

Two former employees have rented out the restaurant for their wedding party. We spend the day preparing for the party, eating bites of hummus and poached shrimp here and there. At some point in the late afternoon, I get a lamb slider to taste for seasoning. It’s delicious, and I wish I had more than one.

The party turns out really lovely, and DJ Mahogany whips the crowd into a sweaty frenzy.

At about 11 p.m., I realize I haven’t eaten anything substantial all day. I gather a couple friends and head to The World Famous. This has been a go-to for late-night dining. I have the pork buns. As I eat them, they become a spicy and totally satisfying mess in my hands.

Tuesday: We are back to normal hours today. I am training for the Tri to Beat Cancer triathlon in August. After exercising, I make a smoothie of banana, frozen blueberries, protein powder, a green super food powder, almond milk and coconut milk. It is cold and filling, and tastes very healthy.

An old friend is visiting from out of town. I like to show off the Georgia Theater roof to UGA alums who have been gone a while. We get lunch up there from The Branded Butcher. We share tacos—one pork, one tofu—and a cheeseburger. The weather and the food are perfect. A cold Terrapin completes the picture.

I don’t cook at home for myself very often, but occasionally I will invite people over for a special occasion. Tonight, I am cooking a graduation dinner for a friend who is finishing his Master’s. The menu includes roast beef (with lots of spicy Dijon mustard and sea salt, my favorite accompaniments for beef); roasted potatoes in goose fat (a friend brought the goose fat from England as a gift); a salad of radishes and endive; sliced tomatoes with local sweet onions; and watermelon and cherries for dessert.

Wednesday: More coffee and a smoothie for breakfast, and then I head into the restaurant. At 11 a.m., the pastry staff prepares a meal for the lunch staff. We call this “family meal,” and it’s a chance to gather everyone around to discuss the menu for the day. I can always count on an egg dish; today they’re scrambled with onions and cheese. We eat leftover carrot cake with cream cheese icing from the wedding on Monday

and drink more coffee. I hope my trainer isn’t reading this.

At 4 p.m., we do another dinner, this time for the evening staff. It’s always a combination of leftovers and butchery scraps. Tonight’s menu includes a fish curry and a variety of salads. Most memorable is a slaw made from bok choy; it has plenty of vinegar and a bit of heat from chilies. After work, I meet a friend at Normal Bar. By this point, I’m starving. I love their boiled peanuts—it’s the perfect salty bar food.

Thursday: I am starting to tire of healthy smoothies, so I grab eggs and an avocado from the Daily Co-op. I prepare coffee and two over-easy eggs topped with salsa and avocado.

It’s delicious, and the high-quality eggs have beautiful deep orange yolks.

In the afternoon, I eat a power lunch at The National. This dish was created a couple years ago as a counterpoint to a cheeseburger we were also serving. I realized I couldn’t eat cheeseburgers every day, and that I was craving fresh vegetables. The dish is always vegetarian, includes a plant-based protein, generally has a cheese or yogurt component and, when available, we include at least one “super food.” Much to my surprise, it has become our most popular lunch item.

Saturday: Saturday is a busy day at work. I eat a few bites of the morning and evening family meals, but never actually sit down to eat. Fortunately, the day starts out well with visits to a couple farmers markets. The Athens Farmers Market at Bishop Park is in full gear by the time I get there. I grab a coffee from 1000 Faces and a flaky croissant from The Comerian. I love visiting the market—there are always so many familiar faces. Over the years, we have gotten to know the farmers well; they have become our friends. I make plans with Tim Mills of Red Mule to get polenta and onions on Monday.

It is the first Saturday of the month, so the West Broad Market Garden, run by the Athens Land Trust, is also open this morning. I visit with some farmer friends and stop by the booth of our friend Greg, who is cooking delicious Italian food.

His eggplant caponata and arancini (fried risotto balls filled with meat or cheese) are out of sight.

Sunday: I am fortunate to live within walking distance of Heirloom Café. Having a place to eat just a few steps away is such a luxury, but it really shouldn’t be. I meet a friend for brunch and start with the Lowery Plate. It consists of pimento cheese, sliced green apple and buttery toasts that are golden brown (they must spend a minute or two on a griddle).

Delicious. I finish with granola and yogurt and a beet and goat cheese salad. They add orange segments and rye bread croutons for a nice twist on a classic pairing.

Normally I don’t work on Sunday evenings, but tonight finds me in the kitchen. It’s not a terribly busy evening, so my dinner mostly consists of the results of recipe testing. I am working on a marinade for grilled pork kebabs. The first try is OK, but not what I’m looking for—too much saffron. But the pork itself is delicious: the best-tasting streaks of fat, grown by our friend Benji Anderson in Madison County. I head home to catch the repeat of “Game of Thrones.” I prop my feet up with a glass of red wine and officially end the week.

movie dope Some releases may not be showing locally this week.

• indicates new review 42 (PG-13) Sports biopics are largely interchangeable. Still, something about the challenges faced by Jackie Robinson (gracefully inhabited by unknown Chadwick Boseman) as he broke the color barrier in professional baseball feels so much more singular than your average true tale of successfully bucking the odds. Boseman’s performance is not a skilled mimicry like so many other portrayals of famous persons; he imbues Robinson with such strength of character and composure. Writer-director Brian Helgeland does nothing unique as he recounts this cinematic biography, but his film reads quickly, entertainingly and informatively.

AT ANY PRICE (R) The trailer sports a lot of impressive critical quotes, including one from the sorely missed Roger Ebert, but its two minute reduction of this tale of fathers and sons, farmers and race car drivers feels a bit too familiar. Dennis Quaid and Zac Efron star as a farmer and his rebellious, racing son. When a crisis threatens to take everything from this family, their bond is tested more than ever. Director Ramin Bahrani could use a high profile film to go with his critical hits Goodbye Solo, Chop Shop and Man Push Cart. (Ciné) • BEFORE MIDNIGHT (R) Jesse and Celine (Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy) have come a long ways from 1995’s Before Sunrise. The twentysomethings have become fortysomethings. Still not married but with a pair of towheaded twin girls, the couple have given up some dreams in favor of love and reality. Our third glimpse into Jesse and Celine’s lives paints a realistic landscape of adult relationships founded upon love. Jesse knows Celine better than anyone else in the world, and vice versa. They care deeply for each other, yet their closeness belies a growing distance. For an hour and forty-eight minutes, the duo laugh and spar, negotiating a couple’s treaty without the benefit of an arbiter. The film is funny and discomforting. Many viewing pairs will see themselves, arguing and rearguing their own alternatingly petty and weighty complaints. Hawke and Delpy, both credited as co-writers, have grown into and as Jesse and Celine. Several threads from their first conversation are picked back up, with the benefit (and detriment) of years and experience.

Filmmaker Richard Linklater has grown with them. Who would have thought the Dazed and Confused auteur’s greatest achievement would be one couple’s hopefully far from ending conversational journey?

THE BIG WEDDING (R) The Big Wedding should be celebrated as a strong candidate for worst film of the year. The Bucket List scripter Justin Zackham has delivered an Americanization of France’s Mon frère se marie, in which a long-divorced couple (Diane Keaton and Robert De Niro) must act married for their adopted son’s wedding because the grown man will not tell his devoutly Catholic birth mother (Patricia Rae) that they are divorced, is populated by offensive, meanly unfunny characters differentiated by their virginity or lack thereof. The sinking ship of a movie has nary one likable, nuanced character to grab onto like a life raft. Avoid these nuptials at all costs.

BYZANTIUM (R) Leave it to Neil Jordan, whose films always fascinate (be they good or not so good), to offer up what looks like one of the bloodiest, most intriguing movies to be sired by the recent glut of vampire flicks.

Saoirse Ronan is an eternal teenager (think a slightly older Claudia from Jordan’s adaptation of Interview with the Vampire), living at a coastal resort with her bloodsucker mom (Gemma Arterton). The trailer promises a lot— sex, blood, myth, feminism. I hope Jordan can pull it off.

THE CROODS (PG) The Croods stands out as one of the best nonPixar animated family films released in the last few years. A family of cavemen—dad Grug (v. Nicolas Cage), mom Ugga (v. Catherine Keener), teen daughter Eep (v. Emma Stone), dumb son Thunk (v. Clarke Duke), feral baby Sandy and grandma (v.

Cloris Leachman)—are forced on a cross-country road trip after their cave is destroyed by the impending “end of the world.” Fortunately, Eep meets Guy (v. Ryan Reynolds), whose developed brain filled with “ideas” might just help them all survive. Most cute family fun pics feel rehashed and overdone; The Croods does not. Its characters successfully, though unbelievably, combine the Flintstones with the Simpsons, and the voice acting, particularly by Cage, Stone and Reynolds sparkles.

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ JUNE 26, 2013

EPIC (PG) Based on William Joyce’s book, The Leafmen, Epic is like Star Wars in a forest; wait, that would just be Return of the Jedi. Unbeknownst to humanity, the forests are protected by the Leafmen, who constantly do battle with the Boggans, led by Mandrake (v. Christoph Waltz). M.K. (v. Amanda Seyfried) must team up with wizened soldier Ronin (v. Colin Farrell) and young turk Nod (v. Josh Hutcherson) to ensure the survival of the forest. The movie does far too little to avoid Star Wars comparisons; it practically invites them. See bird racing (pod racing) and the two slugs who give off a distinct R2D2/C3PO sidekick vibe.

FAST & FURIOUS 6 (PG-13) The unlikeliest blockbuster franchise of all-time has enough gas left in the tank for several more entries. Following the international hijinks of Fast 5, Furious 6 puts Dominic “Dom” Toretta (Vin Diesel), Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) and the rest (Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Sung Kang and

Kaitlin “Sweet Dee” Olson, Michael Rapaport, Tom “Biff Tanner” Wilson, Demian Bichir and Nathan Corddry.

The trailer looks promising; we’ll see. n I’M SO EXCITED (R) Almodovar is back! The trailer for I’m So Excited doesn’t explain much, but it certainly is Almodovarian. Three flight attendants lip sync and dance to The Pointer Sisters’ titular hit, and that’s about it. Apparently, a technical failure has doomed the flight, leaving the pilots and crew to attempt everything in their power to make their passengers last moments as pleasant as possible.

Don’t be surprised when Almodovar muses Antonio Banderas and Penelope Cruz pop by.

THE INTERNSHIP (PG-13) As a follow-up to stars Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson’s Wedding Crashers, this movie would have killed in 2007.

Of course, the economy hadn’t quite tanked at that point, so the tale of two down-on-their-luck salesmen forced to tackle a Google internship wouldn’t

Do all pilots fly Porky Pig? Gal Gadot) on the heels of big bad Shaw (Luke Evans), as they seek to recover Letty (Michele Rodriguez) and attain pardons all around from Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson). These movies keep improving under the direction of Justin Lin and screenwriter Chris Morgan. It’s arguable that Furious 6 is the best of the high gloss bunch. If a muscle car mag filled with bikini-covered boobs and chrome was adapted into a movie, this flick would be it. This live action comic book sags a little in the talky, plot-driven sections, but gets back on crazy course whenever the gang gets behind the wheel for another ridiculous car chase.

FRANCES HA (R) Could this be Greta Gerwig’s big, Lena Dunham-ish break?

She co-wrote this comedy with director Noah Baumbach (The Squid & the Whale), and judging from the trailer, it could be an indie smash. Think “Girls” on the big screen (but no Dunham).

Frances (Gerwig) works for a dance troupe, though she’s not a dancer, and goes all in for her dreams. With Mickey Sumner, Adam Driver (“Girls”) and another daughter of Meryl Streep, Grace Gummer. (Ciné) THE HEAT (R) This ‘80s-ish buddy cop comedy partners Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy as an uptight FBI agent and a wild Boston cop on the trail of a drug lord. Director Paul Feig follows up Bridesmaids with this high concept comedy from “MADtv” and “Parks and Recreation” writer Kate Dippold. The cast supporting Bullock and McCarthy includes Marlon Wayans, Tony “Buster Bluth” Hale,

quite have had much relevance—not that a buddy comedy from Vaughn/ Wilson has much relevance in 2013.

The movie made me feel as if I’d stumbled upon a big budget training video for new Google employees. Sadly, most training videos are unintentionally funnier (just check out any edition of the Found Footage Festival for proof). Due to its still likable (if not bankable) stars and a laudably creative end credits sequence, The Internship leaves one feeling better about the movie than it deserves, being that it’s a two hour chore through which to sit. Were the movie the least bit funny—rather than a mere vehicle for Vaughn and Wilson to mug at the camera—and thirty minutes shorter, it might garner a mild recommendation for a lazy cable viewing. In its current state, do with this movie what the movie folks at Google should have done: say no.

MAN OF STEEL (PG-13) Superman returns (again) with Christopher Nolan tasked to give Supes his Dark(ened) Knight treatment. Then Nolan, writer David S. Goyer and director Zack Snyder realized Superman is an alien and nearly impossible to ground in the real world. Their solution: Treat the material like serious science fiction. The extended time spent with Superman’s birth parents (Russell Crowe rules as father Jor-El) on dying Krypton is the film’s strongest, most original segment. The middle chunk, retelling Kal-El’s transformation from a hunky Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) into Superman, intriguingly tweaks a wellknown origin with the benefit of fatherly

wisdom from Kevin Costner’s Jonathan Kent. Despite some well-executed set pieces pitting Superman against fellow Kryptonian General Zod (cast standout Michael Shannon) and his alien army, the final act never fully takes flight.

Instead, the blockbuster soars in fits and starts, seeming most confident in its final frames than the previous hour and a half of repetitive conflict.

The entertaining if (mostly) humorless and heartless Man of Steel proves it’s harder to make a great Superman movie than a bad one. However, if one hero stands for hope, it’s Superman.

Here’s hoping Man of Steel’s sequel will be this generation’s Superman II. • MONSTERS UNIVERSITY (G) So let’s call it a slump. Cars 2 was a clunker; Brave was good verging on really good but not close to great; and Monsters University lacks the Pixar pop of their undeniably great features (Up, Wall-E, Toy Story 3). In this prequel to Monsters, Inc., we learn how Mike (v. Billy Crystal) and Sully (v. John Goodman) met. Apparently, the two scarers didn’t start as best buds. First, they were scaring rivals at Monsters University. This Revenge of the Monster Nerds doesn’t creatively bend college life for monsters as one would expect from Pixar. The life lesson is trite—don’t let others define your limits or some similar sentiment—and is taught as cleverly as an inferior animation studio’s Monsters, Inc. knockoff. Fortunately, the animation, especially the creature design, is as lush and lifelike as ever, and the voicework from Pixar newcomers like Nathan Fillion and Charlie Day saves the comic day. Kids will love the silly, low scare fun, and parents will be happy it’s not Cars 3. (Just wait, that’s coming in August in the form of Planes.)

MUD (PG-13) Boasting a star-studded cast including Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon and Michael Shannon, Jeff Nichols’ third feature offers this promising rising filmmaker with his best chance of widespread success. A coming of age tale set in the disappearing wilds of the small town south, Mud aims high, as Nichols attempts to channel Mark Twain, and hits the target square in the bull’s eye.

Two teens—Ellis (Tye Sheridan, Tree of Life) and Neckbone (newcomer Jacob Lofland)—discover a boat in a tree.

They also discover McConaughey’s Mud, a fugitive living in the boat in the tree, while he waits to escape with the love of his life, Juniper (Witherspoon).

Mud watches like a work of modern literature, capturing the last gasps of a dying culture as one boy becomes a man. (Ciné) NOW YOU SEE ME (PG-13) Four street magicians (Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher and Dave Franco) are enlisted in a mysterious, magical plan to do something, but nobody is really sure what until the last reel. Hot on their heels is a dogged FBI Agent, Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo), and a debunker of magicians (Morgan Freeman). Now You See Me is as entertaining as it is eye-rollingly contrived.

Clash of the Titans’ Louis Leterrier keeps the illusions moving along too fast for anyone to see through the script’s tricks until the woeful reveal.

OBLIVION (PG-13) The new Tom Cruise action, sci-fi spectacle is a visual/aural knockout. After fighting off

an alien invasion via nuclear destruction, humanity has moved off-planet to Titan, a moon of Saturn. Two people, tech Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) and his communications liaison Victoria (Andrea Riseborough), have been left behind. Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski co-scripted Oblivion from his own graphic novel, and despite its derivative pieces, the whole narrative coheres rather well.

OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN (R) Olympus Has Fallen feels like a relic from the bygone era of the 1980s, where audiences were satisfied by old-fashioned, bloody action movies wherein stone-faced heroes faced off against despicable bad guys without obfuscating their violent exploits with frenetic camerawork. Disgraced Secret Service Agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) is the only person in America who can save the President (Aaron Eckhart) after North Korean terrorists take over the White House. With a franchise-worthy new hero and a wellchoreographed, well-shot focus on physical conflict, Olympus Has Fallen kicks butt better than the muscular bulk of recent action movies.

OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL (PG) Disney’s latest family blockbuster reveals the wizard’s own cyclonic entry to Oz. Carnival magician and con man Oscar Diggs (James Franco) meets three witches—Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams)—who believe him to be the great wizard whose appearance in Oz was prophesied. Oz won’t make anyone forget the original, but it doesn’t shame its memory either.

THE PURGE (R) In the future, America is a paradise of low unemployment and low crime, all thanks to the Purge instituted by the New Founding Fathers. One night every year, all laws are suspended for twelve hours. During this Purge, any citizen may empty themselves of all the pent-up rage and frustration by doing whatever violence they want. Mostly, the Purge affects the poor. Wealthy families like the Sandins (Ethan Hawke, Lena Headey, Max Buckholder and Adelaide Kane) lock themselves behind fancy security systems. But this Purge is different, as the Sandins’ young son lets in a bloody stranger, who is being hunted by a creepy pack of rich kids that want their prey returned to them. What looks like another version of Bryan Bertino’s excellent The Strangers is really more like another movie written

by The Purge’s writer-director James DeMonaco, the remake of Assault on Precinct 13. It also feels a little bit like the last act of Straw Dogs. Despite the slight bait-and-switch, this flick is a fine example of how to do an exploitation-thriller right—emphasis on tension, intimidation and bloody violence. Audiences expecting more thrills and fewer scares should enjoy this summer changeup.

REDEMPTION (R) Able to comfortably shift between gritty drama and B-list action movies, Jason Statham rarely lets a fan down. In this gritty British drama written and directed (his feature debut) by Steven Knight, the Academy Award nominated writer of Dirty Pretty Things and Eastern Promises, Statham stars as a homeless vet, who borrows another man’s identity in order to protect the underclass from London’s criminal underworld.

Who does this guy think he is? Charles Bronson? Are you going to tell him he isn’t?

SCARY MOVIE V (PG-13) A Paranormal Activity/Mama mashup provides the frame that is rattily covered by an hour and thirty minutes of puerile, scattershot jokes. Airplane! worked as a spoof of disaster movies that developed its own witty gags.

The Scary Movies simply tosses pop culture references and cameos

On the night of Francoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housewarming party, the seeming Rapture occurs, leaving behind this band of famous faces to survive on a Milky Way and little more. Turning to and on one another, Judgment Day brings out the best, worst and funniest in writers Rogen/Goldberg and their cast. These guys make the day of reckoning a fun one.

WHITE HOUSE DOWN (PG-13) 2013â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second POTUS in jeopardy flick has its work cut out for it. White House Down asks DC cop Channing Tatum to save President Jamie Foxx after a terrorist attack. Disaster master Roland Emmerich guarantees this Die Hard wannabe will have a lot more property damage than Olympus. The question is whether or not thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an improvement?

With Maggie Gyllenhaal, Richard Jenkins and James Woods.

â&#x20AC;˘ WORLD WAR Z (PG-13) The biggest zombie (and arguably horror) movie EVER MADE is better than expected, judging from its PG-13 rating and tortured production history. Former U.N. employee Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) is sent around the globe to discover the source of the zombie pandemic threatening to wipe out humanity. Also, if he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go, the U.S. military is going to kick his wife and two daughters off their aircraft carrier. Minor quibbles range from a lack of blood (blame the need for a PG-13 rating to recoup the massive budget) and way too fast, superstrong zombies; still, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way more exciting than the second season of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Walking Dead.â&#x20AC;? With its focus on action over scares, WWZ is the Resident Evil 5 of zombie movies.

by celebrities who have passed their sell-by date with no real interest in spoofing the genre they allegedly came to spoof.

STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS (PG-13) The second film in J.J. Abramsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; revamped Trek-verse, is the best Star Wars movie since 1983. Trek has never looked better, been more thrilling or more humanly humorous.

Star Trek 2 seems like the luckiest of numbers; this sequel achieves Khanlike greatness.

THIS IS THE END (R) This pot-fueled â&#x20AC;&#x153;apoc-comedicâ&#x20AC;? nightmare from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg is far funnier than most meta-comedies starring comic actors as themselves. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;realâ&#x20AC;? personas concocted by Rogen, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Craig Robinson and Danny McBride fuel this raunchy end of the world get-together.

movie pick We Are Going to Eat You WORLD WAR Z (PG-13) Humanity is a virus, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spreading. But not if movie star Brad Pitt has anything to say about it. Pitt plays ex-UN field agent Gerry Lane, a fiercely devoted family man whose life is turned topsy-turvy when he is caught in Philadelphia traffic with his wife, Karin (Mireille Enos), and their daughters, as a massive hoard of zombies attack. Eventually rescued from a Newark rooftop, Lane is forced to join a group of scientists committed to curing the zombie plague

munchers and transforming them into ragedrunk sprinters, forcing us to confront our fear of the howling mob like never before.

Director Marc Forster (Quantum of Solace, Machine Gun Preacher) makes his own significant take on zombie cinema with World War Z (loosely based on Max Brooksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; inventive, bestselling horror novel), one-upping all previous incarnations with sometimes startling visions of the swarming undead consuming everything in their path toward total annihilation.

The walking undead have come a long way since the Poverty Row horror of 1932â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s White Zombie, starring Bela Lugosi. Modern-day movies about zombies are heavily indebted to George A. Romeroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s socio-political take on the subgenre with his initial, revolutionary living dead trilogy, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead, as well as the stylistic, splatter-happy cheapo Italian productions from the 1980s, such as Lucio Fulciâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zombie and The Beyond.

World War Z is not the horror masterpiece it was designed to be, but it is smart, frequently suspenseful and efficiently scary, particularly in the opening claustrophobic scenes and later during the Israeli sequences. What it also has is a surprising amount of character-driven grounding, something we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always get with our generic summer blockbusters. Forster is no visionary filmmaker, but he delivers a solid popcorn thriller thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dead-on.

T

he 2013 Flagpole Athens Music Awards show, held Thursday, June 20 at the Morton Theatre, was a smashing success from top to bottom. Without exception, the performances killed: The lovely, contemplative tunes of Dream Boat and T. Hardy Morris resonated warmly throughout the Morton Theatre, while Brett Vaughn and Jubee and the Morning After—the former with his Miracle of Human Flight stage play and ensuing rock and roll jam; the latter with their virile brand of funk-addled hip hop/soul power—provided a more upbeat soundtrack. Victrola Rotor Oilmen, featuring members of Olivia Tremor Control, paid tribute to Bill Doss by performing an amazing set of a couple of Doss’ most iconic tunes, and Silver Fox honored the memory of Craig Lieske with a touching but appropriately noisy and shambolic set.

Awards were handed out in 19 categories—see the list of winners below—in addition to the Sprockets video awards (the Best Music Video award went to Grape Soda for their brilliant “Obvious Signs” clip).

As has become custom, the night saw its share of memorable acceptance speeches, including the nowstandard verbal middle finger from the Punk/Hardcore winner—this year, it came courtesy of Muuy Biien’s Josh Evans, who dedicated his band’s award to his sister before declaring that he didn’t “give a fuck about any of this.” Classic.

Enjoy a selection of our favorite visuals from the evening. Congratulations to all the winners—and here’s to next year! [Gabe Vodicka]

The Love You Make: Last week, half a world away, longtime Athens musician Herb Guthrie passed away following an auto accident in the African nation of Uganda. He was 64. Guthrie was on a trip organized by Church Planning International, with whom he’d done mission work for several years. Known by music fans as the drummer for the Michael Guthrie Band, his musical roots go back to the earlyto-mid 1960s. Playing under different names (always with his brother Michael), including The Illusions and Arnold Bean, the band progressed from teenage British Invasion rock to radical psychedelia, and then finally to the solid power-pop the Michael Guthrie Band is known for. There was a small memorial ceremony held in Uganda last week, and this past Sunday, radio announcers Guy Goodman and Deborah Reece paid tribute to Herb on Atlanta’s 97.1 FM The River. He is survived by his immediate family—wife Tina, brother Michael and children Sara and Ian. Please

watch this space for news concerning tributes, fundraisers, memorials, etc. My heart goes out to the entire Guthrie family, whom I know personally to be among the sweetest, most genuine people I’ve ever met. Bless you all.

Athens Eye And Ear Control: They’ve been collaborating for basically a year now, but the improvisational duo populated by multi-instrumentalist Killick and drummer John Norris is now known as Crazy Hoarse. The first official gig under this banner, where the group will play its “Appalachian trance-metal,” happens Friday, June 28 at The World Famous. For continuity’s sake, or perhaps in spite of it, the band has re-branded a performance recorded at Flicker last month to reflect this new moniker, and you can find the whole 40-minute set at killick.bandcamp.com. If you want to really sink your ears’ teeth into something, Crazy Hoarse is your bag. Sharing the bill Friday is Revien, which includes Kyle Dawkins, Brian Smith and Phil Snyder, each of the Georgia Guitar Quartet.

Metal Health: Athens metal fans should be pretty glad to see Savagist climb back on its horse—at least the one parked here in town—when the band takes the stage at the Caledonia Lounge on Saturday, June 29. The crowd favorite has spent pretty much the entire past year ignoring local stages, instead spending its time heading out on regional tours, playing weekends in other towns and recording an album with engineer Joel Hatstat. Also returning this night is North Carolina’s Colossus, which channels its pure New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM)

Bangs A Lot: The beautiful people in pacificUV have cast their fundraising net out into Internet waters in hopes of raising some cash for a tour of China next month. Just over a year ago, the band toured Taiwan and Hong Kong. This time around, they will also venture into mainland China, playing shows in Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. They’ll also be playing Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Although pacificUV has coordinated its tour with several promoters, they’re in the position of having to pay travel and visa costs upfront. So, head to pledgemusic.com/projects/pacificuvtour and look at all the things you can get by helping them out. Unlike similar fundraising platform Kickstarter, Pledge Music gives all funds received to the soliciting party. There is no requirement that a goal is met. So, basically, everything helps. The band has pledged 5 percent of all funds raised to Nuçi’s Space, so there’s that, too. For all other information, see face book.com/pacificUV. 96 Degrees: Athens trio Shade, which could really be called a power trio if so many ding-dongs didn’t already populate that category, have been busy recording their album at the Gypsy Farm studio at Clem’s Shoal Creek Music Park. By the time you read this, the band will be deep in the mixing stage of the as-yet-untitled record. The title’s not all that’s undetermined.

There’s no target release date, no label and no solid word on what formats are planned, but member Will Cash reports that vinyl and digital are the most likely routes. The record is gonna be around the 40-minute mark, and I’d tip my hat to any label who took a good look at this crew. Shade is easily one of the best out-of-the-gate groups to rise up in Athens over the past 12 months. This is exactly the type of rock-art shamble everyone needs more of. A recent show is available for download at southernshelter.com. For more information, head to facebook.com/sha.de.3304.

Under The Bushes, Under The Stars: A neat-o show is happening at the amphitheater of the Orange Twin Conservation Community (255 Noketchee Creek Rd.) on July 3 featuring The Athens Cowboy Choir, The Darnell Boys, The Shoal Creek Stranglers, Art Rosenbaum and The Orange Twin Family Band. It costs $10 per person to attend, and $5 per car to park. (Cars that are packed to capacity get to park free. So, load ‘em up!) Camping will be available for $10, and breakfast is included. If you’ve never been to a show at Orange Twin, you really should experience it. Things kick off at 5 p.m. and run until about midnight. For tickets, head to orangetwin.com/cowboychoir 2013.html.

When a series of unexpected tragedies befell former Oblio frontman Terry Price—he was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy in 2009; his middle-aged father died of a heart attack shortly thereafter—he chose not to wallow in grief. Instead, he began to write the songs that would become How to Say Goodbye, his striking solo debut, which dropped this past February. The Nashville-based songwriter’s vocals and knack for melody are highly reminiscent of Nada Surf’s Matthew Caws, and like that songwriter, Price often juxtaposes lyrical sadness with hooky pop buoyancy (see Goodbye’s dreamy, infectious single “It Makes Me Cry”). Indeed, rather than skirt his pain, the album finds Price confronting it head-on, and ultimately finding comfort in catharsis. [Gabe Vodicka] THEATRE | Friday, June 28–Sunday, June 30

Matters Of The Heart And Loins So, I went out on a date with this guy the other night. Let me start by saying that I live in a small state with a very small population, and virtually no gay “scene.” It is difficult for me to find guys my age who are single, and not just looking for a Grindr-style hookup. I graduated from college in a big city, and moved back here to be with family, because my dad is sick.

Things are pretty hectic around here, between work and taking care of family, and I don’t get out much. Actually, I just haven’t gotten out at all for like a year.

Over the past month or so, I have been trying Internet dating. I am very clear that I am not looking for a hookup. I am fairly choosy when it comes to partners—I need somebody who is smart and funny and, above all, a nice person. I don’t care much about what a guy looks like, as long as he has basic grooming skills and manners. I think of myself as being fairly open-minded. All of this is to say that, despite my efforts, I am having a really hard time meeting anybody at all, especially anybody that I can relate to.

So, when I finally started talking with Jeff (not his real name, obvi), I was pretty happy.

He is smarter than I am, funny, well-traveled (which I am envious of but excited about, because I want an adventurous travel partner for sure) and cute. We sent messages back and forth for a while, then exchanged pictures, then talked on the phone. By the time we met up for an actual date, I felt like I kind of knew him. We live about 45 minutes away from each other, so we met up near where he lives (an actual city with actual stuff to do) at a restaurant for lunch.

Things were going really well until we were talking about where I went to school and where I used to live. He basically said he thinks all gang members should be rounded up and put in an arena, “gladiator style,” to kill each other so they can stop being a menace to everyone else. I brushed it off at the time, but I can’t get the remark out of my head. I was horrified, and I didn’t know how to react. Another thing he said made it clear that he not only believes in gun rights, but he has at least one gun. Granted, he grew up in a rural place, and many people have guns for hunting and whatnot, but I don’t think that’s what he meant.

I am embarrassed to say that I didn’t pursue the point, because part of me didn’t want to know how he really felt. I had this idea of him being such a great guy, and somebody I could actually date and had so much in common with, but now I’m afraid that he is some kind of gun nut. Should I just run away? I’m really lonely. I have plenty of friends here, but no possibility of anybody to date. I don’t know what to think. Help?

One gun does not a gun nut make, and neither does believing in gun rights. As long as a person is willing to stick up for the First Amendment as loudly as the Second, I don’t necessarily think it’s an issue. And making one crack that isn’t politically correct shouldn’t necessarily set off alarms. You need to ask more questions and see him again to figure

out what he meant. Gods know I have said plenty of awkward and weird shit out of sheer nervousness, so I’d hate for you to rule this guy out before giving him a chance to explain himself. Unless, of course, having a gun in the house is a non-starter for you, in which case I guess you have your answer. Were these the only things that gave you pause? Was he otherwise who you thought he was? Openminded and smart and funny and your type of guy? Maybe keep things casual and try another date.

I have been dating my girlfriend for about two years. We get along great. We live together, and we share responsibility for the bills and stuff, but we aren’t sharing a bank account or anything. Basically, I think we will eventually get married, but neither of us is even thinking about doing that yet. Last month, her car broke down. It was already on its last legs, and it didn’t come as a big surprise, but she doesn’t have the money to buy another one yet. Her parents are going to help her out, but she has to save up a certain amount first. Not really a big problem, because we live close enough to town for her to walk to school and work.

The problem is when she wants to be out late. I have a pretty early schedule right now, and I am on call at work, so I can’t go out partying every night of the week.

I don’t mind that she does, but the understanding is that when she takes my car, she has to be ready to leave wherever she is at the drop of a hat if I need a ride. That was going fine for the first couple of weeks. She used it a couple times, I didn’t get called, and she came home to find me sleeping on the couch in front of the TV. Then, one night, she came in and she was a little tipsy.

I made a crack about it, but I didn’t make a big deal out of it. I said she should have called a cab if she was going to drink that much, and she got defensive and said she was fine. I was mad, and I didn’t say anything until the next morning. She knew she had screwed up and seemed genuinely sorry. I trusted she meant it. The thing is, she works late a lot of times for her job, and I don’t want her to get stuck downtown without a ride, but now I really don’t want her driving my car when she goes out. I trust her, but I can’t risk anything happening—not only because of my job and needing my own car, but because I care about her and I don’t want her dead or in jail.

How can I tell her this without her getting mad at me?

Not Her Dad Can you drop her off at work and tell her to take a cab or find a ride? Or hell, if you’re on call anyway, can you pick her up sometimes?

You aren’t being unreasonable. It’s your car, your insurance and your peace of mind we are talking about. DUI is pretty common in college towns, and so are DUI convictions, which cost thousands of dollars. No, you aren’t her dad, and she isn’t a kid. Do what you have to do.
