A Death Blow for Many Georgians The Supreme Court Could Take Away Affordable Health Care

By Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com At some point between now and June 30, the Supreme Court will hand down a decision that could be potentially disastrous for nearly half a million Georgia residents.

The high court is scheduled to rule on a lawsuit that challenges the legality of a key portion of the Affordable Care Act: tax credits provided by the federal government that make it possible for consumers to afford health care coverage they obtained through Georgia’s health insurance exchange.

If the high court rules against the government in the case of King v. Burwell, then the tax credits that help pay the premiums for Obamacare coverage will be terminated.

Without the federal subsidies, it is estimated that somewhere between 400,000 and 500,000 Georgians would have to relinquish their coverage, because they no longer would be able to afford the premiums.

They will lose their access to medical care, which could be fatal for serious illnesses like cancer.

“The price of coverage will go up,” said Bill Custer, the director of the Center for Health Services Research at Georgia State University. “There are a half million people or more in Georgia who are going to be affected.”

The law states that the federal subsidies for coverage will be paid through health insurance exchanges that are “established by the state.” The plaintiffs who filed the King v. Burwell lawsuit argue that this phrase means subsidies cannot legally be paid in the states, including Georgia, that declined to operate the exchange and thereby turned over the responsibility to the federal government. The Supreme Court could well rule that the phrasing of the law terminates those subsidies in Georgia and other states.

About 89 percent of the enrollees— 480,000 people—are receiving federal tax credits to help pay for that coverage. The Urban Institute conducted an analysis that estimates 435,000 Georgians would lose health coverage if the Supreme Court ruled against the federal government.

Custer says the total could be even higher because the loss of so many enrollees would force the insurance companies participating in the ACA exchange to recalculate their premiums. The revised premiums would be increased significantly, making coverage unaffordable for even more people. “Not only will you lose your subsidies, you’ll be paying higher rates as well,” Custer said. “If it’s not a death spiral, it’s surely going to be a big price increase.”

An adverse court decision would be a major political victory for Gov. Nathan Deal and legislative Republicans, who oppose Obamacare and have tried to halt the program’s implementation here.

Deal and the legislators have also rejected another major aspect of the ACA: the expansion of Medicaid coverage to more low-income families. Georgia is passing up more than $3 billion a year in federal funds that would otherwise have been paid to doctors and hospitals that treat Medicaid patients. The money could help some distressed rural hospitals stay in operation.

At the Republican Party’s state convention last month, Deal boasted in a speech: “We have resisted. We have not expanded Medicaid, as you know, despite all the pressure on us from the media and others.”

It is impossible to predict how the Supreme Court will ultimately decide this issue. The justices may rule with the government and keep the tax credits in place.

If the court rules the other way, it’s going to

Food Truckinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Down by City Hall?

Plus, No Greenspace Input, No Wetland Buffers and No Recycling

By Blake Aued news@flagpole.com in one space (and brick-and-mortar restaurant owners donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want competition camped out front). Link suggested allowing food trucks to park in front of City Hall at least a couple days a week, which she said could attract business lunchers, the happy-hour crowd and late-night revelers to a part of downtown where people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normally go, while steering clear of wheel-less competitors. The Government Operations Committee is also considering allowing food trucks in parks (except when youth sports groups are rais-

Joshua L. Jones

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a commonly held belief among foodies that the heavy hand of Athens-Clarke County government is whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holding back the nascent local food-truck scene. But regulations would be easier to navigate if the private sector stepped up to the plateâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and that may present an opportunity for an entrepreneur.

State health regulations require food trucks to have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;base of operations,â&#x20AC;? with a certified prep kitchen and a dump station for food waste on the same site, according to Kelli Hinson of the county health department office. This means that Athens food-truck owners have each been hiring plumbers to build costly food-waste dump stations near their prep kitchens. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be that way, though.

The rules are â&#x20AC;&#x153;very straightforward and clear,â&#x20AC;? according to ACC Assistant Manager Blaine Williams, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not enforced any differently in Atlanta, which has lots of food trucks, than here, where there are only a few.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the difference: In Atlanta, two organizationsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;one a cooperative, the other a private companyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;have popped up to provide shared, centralized prep kitchens and dump stations so that food-truck proprietors donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to build their own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have some benevolent investor or co-op out there,â&#x20AC;?

ACC Commissioner Melissa Link said at a recent committee meeting.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the role of government to start such a facility, any more than the government should be building brick-and-mortar restaurants. But maybe the market exists for someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;potentially an existing caterer or food truck with extra spaceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to do it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The model weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been talking about is somebody with deep, private pockets,â&#x20AC;? Commissioner Andy Herod said.

Meanwhile, commissioners are discussing paving the way for more food trucks, so that the private sector might be encouraged to step in. Currently, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not allowed to park on public property, because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re too big to fit

ing money with concession sales) and the Oconee Street park-and-ride lot, which is not used much but â&#x20AC;&#x153;will become more attractive,â&#x20AC;? Williams said, when the greenway is extended there.

Williams said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bring formal recommendations to the committee later this month.

Oconee Forks: A public input session on a 310-acre tract of greenspace off Tallassee Road was postponed last week amid concerns that the ACC Leisure Services Department

was pushing through plans for the tract too quickly, without consulting potential users and other experts.

ACC purchased the landâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;known as Oconee Forks or the Tallassee Tractâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in 2012 for about $650,000, using SPLOST funds and a grant from The Riverview Foundation and The Conservation Fund. Once a Creek Indian sacred space, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the largest undeveloped tracts left in Clarke County and includes forests, wetlands, a creek and frontage along the Middle Oconee River, where ACC will one day build a greenway.

Almost three years later, Leisure Services is still creating a master plan for ecological protection and passive recreation, a task it has mainly farmed out to Sand County Studios of Smyrna.

In an email obtained by Flagpole, former Commissioner Carl Jordan criticized the plans as â&#x20AC;&#x153;superficialâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;sketchyâ&#x20AC;? last month and said they were a waste of $60,000 paid to consultants and would delay public access to the park for another year.

Soon after, Leisure Services canceled the May 28 public input session. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cancellation will provide staff the opportunity to review additional information related to the project with the Tallassee Tract Master Plan Advisory Group and other stakeholders,â&#x20AC;? the department said in an announcement. Staff didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize the user group wanted more information until after the input session was already scheduled, according to Park Services Administrator Mel Cochran.

One specific concern voiced by those whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been following the project is that Leisure Services wants to include what some have described as a soccer field on land that is supposed to be preserved as a natural, undisturbed space.

Cochran disputed that description, noting that the tract is under a conservation easement. She compared the proposed field to the field at Bishop Park, calling it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;big meadow, if you want to throw Frisbees, if you want to lay out in the sun, if mom wants to bring kids out there to kick a soccer ball around.â&#x20AC;?

Another public input session is supposed to be scheduled this fall, but a date hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been set.

The Budget: Unless something crazy happens, the commission will have approved a 2016 budget in between the time the print edition went to press and now, and it includes funding for Sunday bus service. As always, check flagpole. com for the latest.

She says such protections “I’ve learned to leave my preconceptions at the door, because they are usually wrong,” he says.

The ordinance has two other requirements other than having a recycling program that collects all the items the county accepts. Commercial sites—businesses and apartment complexes—must also give recycling information, which the county provides, to employees or tenants. A recycling plan for the business must also be on file with the county, and for several, compliance is only hindered by not filing the paperwork.

From talking to virtually every business in town, Dunlop says most of them seem not to think the requirement is a big deal, but he acknowledges that some do not like for the government to tell them what to do.

Shiny HappY PINEcOnes For The Post-Punk Band, It’s All About Friendship

By Gabe Vodicka music@flagpole.com

T

Joshua L. Jones

he Ruth Street house where Pinecones officially became a band has been vacant for some time, which is why drummer and former resident Ben Salie has suggested the location for an interview and photo shoot.

Shortly after the group arrives, Miller High Life in tow, so does the property manager, understandably curious about the sudden appearance of these slightly disheveled young fellows. Rather than tell them to scram, she invites them inside. Soon, everyone is talking and laughing. Pinecones have made a new friend.

Friendship—specifically, friendship as antidote to the uncertainty of a troubled world—is at the core of the Pinecones experience, from the band members’ daily lives to their music itself.

The motif pops up repeatedly throughout their chat with Flagpole and on Sings For You Now, the group’s debut full-length, recorded on April Fool’s Day 2014 and out now on vinyl via Athens label Arrowhawk Records.

For the band’s four members, who have spent time together and separately in Atlanta-based punk and hardcore acts like Crater, Mosaic and Dead in the Dirt, their current group is the result of a carefully cultivated set of personal relationships. Friendship comes first, they explain; music is a happy byproduct.

“Us doing this band together was waiting to happen,” says guitarist Brian “Brain” Atoms, a softspoken barista and highschool tutor whose master’s degree in English literature provided the inspiration behind Pinecones’ humble start. (“There was this idea of starting a punk band inspired by the writings of Henry David Thoreau and calling it ‘The Pinecones,’” he recalls.)

“We really don’t know what else to do, or talk about with each other, other than music,” Salie adds. “We’ve played music for such a long time together—this was just another time that we decided to play music with each other.”

After whipping up an initial batch of songs, Pinecones booked a slot on WUOG 90.5 FM’s “Live in the Lobby” series. Athens label Southern Vision released the primal, pummeling live set on tape, with the title Plays Cosmic Hits.

The radio recording spread quickly, establishing the then-mysterious group as one of Athens’ most buzzedabout new bands. Pinecones’ music felt familiar—featuring varying shades of the mid-‘90s Dischord roster, as well as echoes of the gritty Southern rock the band’s members grew up on—yet innovative, an impressionistic take on established post-punk themes.

Buoyed by a wave of community support, Pinecones entered the studio with local engineer Joel Hatstat and recorded what would become Sings For You Now live—including most of the vocals—and in as few takes as possible.

“We really wanted it to sound as completely honest as

possible,” says vocalist and guitarist Bo Orr, “and for no one to be surprised in a bad way if they were to come and see us play. That’s what we sound like.”

The 11-song album acts as both mile marker and manifesto, “a blueprint of that moment,” as Orr describes it, and a proper introduction to one of the most exciting young rock bands to emerge from Georgia in the past decade.

Sings For You Now finds Pinecones exploring time and space. On opener “Tears From Your Skin,” the band rides three chords for six explosive minutes. Meanwhile, the chorus to the anthemic “Do Not Move” clocks in at six (equally explosive) seconds. Just as the upbeat “Ocean At the Center” finds its groove, the song stops abruptly, not yet two minutes in.

Orr’s lyrics are veiled yet vivid, with a vaguely transcendentalist lean. The impact of the singer’s words is heightened by his throat-shredding delivery. At times, his thoughts seem to trip over themselves. “These are not our bodies,” he manically intones on the seven-minute “Astral Bodies.” “This is not a song/ There are no safe thoughts/ A constant knife/ Tears through the vacuum of the spirit.”

On “Halo Crown,” Orr plays God, literally: “Traced shapes in the sky/ Then I shot them back down/ Made man in one day/ Then I rested the rest of the week/ I sentenced my tongue/ To a prison of teeth.”

Orr, also a respected visual artist who has created work for musical acts like Harm’s Way and Sunn O))), says his lyrics represent an attempt to connect with a positive universal spirit.

“Everything I write is a form of self-affirmation,” he says. “You know in the movies, when someone’s in a real pickle, and they might die, and they recite [Psalm 23]? If every time you’re singing, it’s that dire—without being dramatic—I think that’s good. It’s like: [Here’s the] present moment; here’s what’s happening; here’s what’s gonna help.

“I enjoy dark music,” he continues. “But it’s often fake.

It’s often someone trying to be nihilistic, or dramatic. I don’t care about darkness.”

Despite Pinecones’ penchant for positive thinking, theirs is not a shiny, happy sound. It is tooth-and-nail contentment, tiny victory writ large, the stirring sound of struggle conquered. Arrowhawk owner Alyssa DeHayes calls the group’s music “an optimistic gut punch,” adding that she connected with the music on Sings For You Now right away.

“There’s something really powerful and anthemic about both the album and their live show,” she says. “It combines the fervor of punk, the meditative, expansive space of Krautrock, the solid footing of American rock in the vein of Neil Young and Crazy Horse [and] the repetitive zone where your brain can wander… I’m incredibly proud of them and excited about where things are headed.”

Asked about their future, the group’s members defer, stressing that they feel like they’ve already reached their ultimate goal. “We’ve come to this place where we all feel happy just to be alive, and be a part of this,” says Atoms. Adds Salie: “I think by not having a plan, it makes everything that happens with the band really fun.”

Bassist Ryan Evers concurs: “Whether or not we have another record come out, at the heart of it, I don’t think that’s a contributing factor to us continuing being with each other.”

DeHayes, who also works as a publicist for the Portland, OR-based Riot Act Media, says Pinecones’ humble approach initially took her by surprise.

“When I mentioned that I wanted to do a press push, I think Ben’s response was something along the lines of, ‘You think people would actually want to write about us?’” she says. “Which is a refreshing change from the usual, ‘If you don’t get us Pitchfork, you will have failed us’ that I so often hear on the press side.”

On the Ruth Street porch, as the sun prepares to set and birds chirp nearby, the members of Pinecones share one last beer and attempt to address the nagging issue, aside from the idea of band-as-friendship-maintainer, of why they do what they do. After nearly an hour of uninterrupted conversation, Evers arrives at a very Pinecones answer.

“It’s easier to connect with dark shit than it is to connect with what makes somebody else happy,” he theorizes. “If that happiness is able to be shared through music, that’s groovy. If people [feel the need] to figure out why we’re happy, and why we love each other, and why we do this— checkmate.” f

Pattern is Movement Says Goodbye With a Final Tour

Plus, More Music News and Gossip

By Nathan Kerce music@flagpole.com

By Gordon Lamb threatsandpromises@flagpole.com For Ward, there’s a lot riding on this final venture.

“I would like to gain some closure from doing this. ‘Catharsis’ is probably the best word for it. Doing this final tour [is] a way to end things in a way that feels right. I think, to our fans, it should be a celebration. The fans are integral to this entire experience. I feel like that’s not dealt with enough from the musician side… I want to celebrate them. Even if I don’t know them personally, they’ve been a huge part of my life, and for some of them, I’ve been a huge part of their [lives].”

Athens, in particular, has always held significance for Pattern is Movement. For Ward, the group’s final show in town will be a sentimental experience.

“Athens is our second home,” he says.

“I would say it’s one of my favorite cities in the entire United States. I’m going to miss having reasons to come to Athens…

EC IN THE UK: Rock duo Eureka California will spend a hell of a lot of time overseas this summer. Beginning in late July, they’ll undertake a nine-date UK tour with longrunning indie-pop heroes Bunnygrunt.

This jog includes appearances at the enviable Indietracks Festival, as well as shows in London, Cardiff, Liverpool, Glasgow, Edinburgh and more. Afterward, they’ll spend a week in Leeds at Suburban Home Studio, which is run by MJ of Hookworms

The record features Dictator taking the beats from relatively popular tracks and throwing his rhymes on top—hence the album’s title. The whole thing functions as a cool standalone record, but also works as a great call on the carpet to Future, Young Thug, Migos, Ne-Yo and more. Easily one of the most consistent and no-bullshit artists on the Athens scene, Dictator rarely, if ever, disappoints. Grab it at datpiff.com/profile/ DICTATOR87.

fter 14 years, Philadelphia-based rock band Pattern is Movement is calling it quits. For fans, this may come as a bit of a shock. The group has gone on long periods of hiatus, lost band members—eventually dwindling down from a five-piece to the duo of drummer Chris Ward and vocalist Andrew Thiboldeaux— and completely retooled its sound. It seems odd that a band in such a constant state of flux would come to a permanent end, but according to Ward, it just felt like the right time.

“We’ve been making music since we were 14, and Pattern is Movement has been a band since 2001,” he says. “I think we’re both just ready to move on and do other things. It’s amicable. The first amicable breakup in history, ever. There’s not really much behind it, except we did our last album, and we did some touring around it, and we were both like, ‘This is it, I think we’re ready.’”

Christopher A. Petro

Eureka California

Pattern is Movement began as a mathrock project, but over the years it hopped from genre to genre, eventually shifting into a more baroque pop sound. The band’s most recent, self-titled album even incorporated some light R&B elements. So, why not just keep evolving?

“I think, for now, Pattern has taken so much of our lives, and we’re just ready to do something else,” says Ward. “Going from five members to four, to three, to two—I guess there’s only one more option. I don’t think there’s any more evolution coming right now.” Ward says listeners can expect both members to continue making music.

“We got a lot of feedback on our last album and tour, people who were saying they were looking forward to seeing where that sound went. Andrew and I don’t have any direct plans, but I think on our own we both might explore more of that sound.

It’s sort of hard to talk about. It’s like we’ve been in a long-term relationship, and we just broke up. You don’t necessarily want to talk about getting into another relationship right out of the gate.”

And the show isn’t over yet: The band has set out on one last tour to say goodbye.

Squirrel and Caledonia, I have memories of those shows that are bigger to me than stuff like graduating college, or buying my first house.”

Ward gets emotional as he searches for the proper words to express his gratitude to the people who have supported his group over the years.

“This whole ride has been a unique experience for someone like me,” he says.

“I travel the world playing shows, and it’s because of fans that I get to do stuff like that. I want people to come out and celebrate that experience, and I want to celebrate the people who made this band what it is. That’s what I’m really looking forward to: thanking people for giving us life as a band. It sounds overwrought, but I really, really feel it.” f

and counts Mazes, Traams, Eagulls, Joanna Gruesome and Cowtown among its alumni. Then, they’ll hit mainland Europe for two weeks of shows before spinning back around to the UK, pushing through another full week with Witching Waves and topping it all off with a set at the Edge of the Sea Festival in Brighton. Catch them locally—and before they lose their minds from pure exhaustion—during AthFest, and before that, at the Caledonia Lounge on June 15, when they appear with Atlanta’s Gold-Bears and Roanoke, VA’s Eternal Summers.

TWO FOR ONE: It should be no secret for regular readers of this column that Classic City hip hop is having one hell of a season.

Specifically, the number of high-quality, thoughtful releases is at an all-time high.

Nailing that point home this week is the newest collaborative single from 3ft (aka Keefie Johnson) and Loyal (aka Justin Smith), “Tell ‘Em Naw.” Reportedly available on nearly every imaginable digital service, it’s a low-slung club banger ripe for remixes.

So, yeah, that’s a call to all DJs to give this one a shot. Not to say the original track isn’t everything it’s supposed to be, but I can hear this one getting some real love through other people’s visions, too.

BLOCK-ROCKIN’ BEATS: Travis “Dictator” West has made good on a recent promise with his new mixtape, Shoulda Had A Verse.

NIGHT LIGHTS: Although the hip hop conference that was supposed to happen a couple weeks back courtesy of UGA Live wound up not really happening in any serious sense, as all the panels and films were canceled at the last minute and it was, at any rate, woefully under-attended, there was still a silver lining: I was handed a copy of the brand new mixtape by Tru Thought (aka Aaron Thomas), The Intermission. Though it manages to hold interest through all its 14 tracks, one thing that’s particularly compelling is Thomas’ mid-tempo vocal flow, which sounds way more influenced

by Southwestern rap than the Dirty South proper. All things considered, Thomas and his DJ, Band Boy Macho, have made a good record for cruising late nights.

You can grab it at datpiff.com/profile/ tru_thought706.

ONE MORE TIME: If you missed songwriter Adam Klein at Flicker Theatre & Bar last month, you can catch him at Hendershot’s Coffee Bar on Friday, June 12. On that date, he’ll appear with Grace & Tony (Nashville, TN) and Hannah Aldridge (Muscle Shoals, AL). There’s a chance Klein will have copies of his newest, yet-to-be-released record, Archer’s Arrow, available, though its official release isn’t until this fall. The tireless Klein continues to tour multiple times a year in dedicated stretches, and also short bursts of weekend dates, so locals should attend whenever possible.

The Comedy of Errors (by William Shakespeare) is presented by UGA Department of Theatre and Film Studies in the Cellar Theatre June 2 and 4 at 8 p.m. with a free performance in the UGA Founders Garden June 3 at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets for the Cellar Theatre shows are $5, cash only, at the door before the show. For more information, visit drama. uga.edu.

The Fantasticks Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sweet, funny twist on thwarted teenage romance, with neighbors at war over a garden wall that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prevent a romance between the boy and girl next door but instead promotes itâ&#x20AC;Ś and the romance is on a collision course with reality. The Arts!Oglethorpe version has an additional twist of its own: Instead of fathers at odds over property lines, this time we get to see mothers, played

by Kathey Williamson and Stephanie Tingler. The girl is played by Claire Korzekwa; Sam Hopkins, who was fantastic in Town and Gownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RENT this fall, plays the boy. Bryan Shaw, who has performed in many musicals (including The Fantasticks at Town and Gown) in a variety of theaters in Athens in past years, brings significant experience to the role of El Gallo. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen this play before, or even if you have, this production looks like a good one to catch. The Fantasticks is always a charmer.

The Fantasticks (by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt) is presented by Arts!Oglethorpe at the historic Crawford School Jun. 12â&#x20AC;&#x201C;13 and 18â&#x20AC;&#x201C;20 at 7:30 p.m., with a 3 p.m. matinee Jun. 14.

Pineapples, Haints, Disaster & Guns Local Movies Have Something for Everyone

By Drew Wheeler

ALOHA (PG-13) Aloha is an odd movie, especially coming from a predictably well respected filmmaker like Cameron Crowe.

The trailers establish a fairly standard romantic dramedy. A disgraced military contractor, Brian Gilchrist (Bradley Cooper), returns to Hawaii, but his mission—get a satellite launched for billionaire Carson Welch (Bill Murray)—is complicated by Brian’s past. His ex-girlfriend, Tracy (Rachel McAdams), lives in Hawaii with her husband, Woody (a near-silent John Krasinski), and their two kids (Jaeden Lieberher from St. Vincent is great again).

Enter Capt. Allison Ng (Emma Stone), a quarterHawaiian, quarter-Chinese fighter pilot as love interest.

Yes, Stone is supposed to be Poltergeist interactive children’s exhibit at GMOA Asian. The trailer does not POLTERGEIST (PG-13) Some horror movies even hint at the subplot, where Carson need to be remade (and still, the Prom Night Welch turns out to be a wannabe James remake was way, way worse than the origiBond villain.

SAN ANDREAS (PG-13) Though Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson does steal a truck, a plane and a boat, San Andreas is the strangest adaptation of Grand Theft Auto; it’s almost like the filmmakers had never played one of the games. Of course, I’m kidding, though Johnson would make a really good GTA movie protag.

San Andreas is the latest disaster movie not made by Irwin Allen or Roland Emmerich. After massive earthquakes rock the West Coast, an LAFD helicopter pilot (Johnson) must rescue his estranged wife (Carla Gugino) and daughter (Alexandra Daddario) from the wreckage. Not a moment of the movie surprises, but lowered expectations are hard to disappoint.

Plus, Daddario is really pretty.

The movie would certainly have benefited from two things: more rescues and more washed up old stars. Johnson saves a mere five people. This flick should have been a live action version of Fisher Price’s Rescue Heroes, focused solely on the rescue efforts.

SLOW WEST (R) As its title clearly states, this Sundance Grand Jury Prize Winner from writer-director John Maclean moseys west with Michael Fassbender’s prototypical gunslinger, Silas, accompanying Jay (Kodi Smit-McPhee from The Road), a young Scottish lad in love. Jay is trying to find his love, Rose (Caren Pistorius).

A large bounty has been placed on the heads of Rose and her daddy (Rory McCann, the Hound from HBO’s “Game of Thrones”). Silas is on the run himself, trying to escape his past in the form of Payne (Ben Mendelsohn), leader of the outlaw gang of which Silas used to be a part.

Fassbender is as adaptable a pretty actor as is working today, no matter the genre or period. As wide open as the ranges Maclean and his cinematographer Robbie Ryan gloriously capture on film, Open West slowly finds its absurdist stride; literal salt gets poured in someone’s wounds. The climactic gunfight is as strong as those of its more high-profile peers. No one is going to dub this Unforgiven, but the West(ern) again proves it has yet to be lost.

L Remember Checking Out Lunch Counters and Drive-Ins A G P O L E

By Hillary Brown food@flagpole.com

.

GOTTA GET BACK IN TIME: The fact that Athens now has four pharmacies that serve either light meals or ice cream is pretty damn near unbelievable for a town our size.

Hodgsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pharmacy, in Five Points, recently rebuilt its ice cream counter from scratch in a different location, closer to the front of the building than to the parking lot, and done up with shiny red and chrome stools to look like an old-fashioned soda fountain.

ADD Drug, around the corner, next to Earth Fare, is still going strong, making milkshakes, malts, cherry Coke the old-school way, tiny and wonderful hamburgers, french fries while you watch, pimento cheese sandwiches, tomato sandwiches, egg salad sandwiches and more. The ladies who operate behind the low counter are impressively nimble, and the experience manages to evoke nostalgia without schmaltz.

includes all-white-meat chicken, avocado, lettuce, tomato, black beans and cheddar and comes with a side of salsa for dipping.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lauren,â&#x20AC;? a pimento cheese sandwich that incorporates cayenne and hot mustard for a little kick, plus tons of pimentos, is both classically simple and more fun than most gooey versions of same. You might also be so lucky as to order a cup of the kale, parmesan and sausage soup, which is hearty but feels freshly made and good for you.

No sandwich costs more than $5.50, and they are ready in a jiffy, either to-go or to eat in. If you stop in earlier in the day, you can grab a bagel with cream cheese, pimento cheese or Nutella (add banana for 50 cents more) and a Jittery Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coffee. The pharmacy is open weekdays from 9 a.m.â&#x20AC;&#x201C;6 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m.â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1 p.m. (closed Sunday), but the lunch options donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run all day.

Jennings Mill Drug Company (1360 Caduceus Way, Building 400, Suite 105, in Oconee County, 706-621-5996) may have an address that is as sterile as can be, accessed off the Oconee Connector in a fairly ritzy new medical complex near all that Epps Bridge whatnot, but it is very much a local pharmacy, offering delivery, promoting other small businesses and run by people whose names you would get to know if you frequented it.

The soda fountain, as they call it, is part of that, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite likely the pharmacist will be the one asking you whether you want your sandwich on wheat, sourdough or a bagel. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not exactly a soda fountain proper, but there is soda (plus pellet ice!) and there are milkshakes made to order. Seating is at tables rather than at the counter.

The emphasis seems mostly to be on healthier options, even as the standards remain on the menu; fro-yo joins the ice cream, and you can sub a small bag of Mama Birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Granola for chips if you prefer a more nutritious side item. You can get a slaw dog (nice, basic) or a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mervinâ&#x20AC;? (chili cheese dog with diced onions and mustard), but you can also get Annaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Southwestern Chicken Wrap, which

AFIELD: Continuing in the nostalgia vein, should you find yourself in the Charlotte, NC, area or even passing by it up I-85, you should seek out Bar-B-Q King (2900 Wilkinson Blvd., in Charlotte, 704-399-8344).

Open since 1959, it is an old-fashioned drive-in, with individual speakers for ordering next to each half-roofed parking space. Should yours not be working (not all of them do), a speedy dude will pop out of nowhere to write down what you want, take your payment and deliver your food a few minutes later on a tray or two.

It is easy to forget, living in northeast Georgia, just how good a BBQ sandwich can be. Most of the time, even when they are on the better side, they are too wet, the pork too finely chopped, too saucy or too big. Bar-B-Q Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has none of those problems. The restaurant opts for a sesameseed-studded bun (brilliant), tops the pork (chopped but not obliterated) with a small amount of not-too-soggy coleslaw and just enough sauce to taste, then spears a single slice of pickle on the top with a toothpick.

The pork done as a plate is good, too, but for once, the sandwich bests it. The sauce is hot and complex and great.

The potato salad is mustardy and wonderful. The baked beans are as good as the rest. Bar-B-Q King is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30 a.m.â&#x20AC;&#x201C;10 p.m., but takes occasional vacations, so check its Facebook page or call if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning a trip. f

The glimpse into versary programming, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Celebrating 40 this microscopic world appears curiously Years of Art,â&#x20AC;?

Home Showâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where We Live, Work and Playâ&#x20AC;? reflect the spirit of the season and find inspiration through leisure.

The exhibition â&#x20AC;&#x153;Discarded Beauty,â&#x20AC;? located in the Lower Atrium, could have easily gone in several directions: Environmentally conscious eco art, folksy found-object sculptures, fragile pressed-flower arrangements or somber altars from animal remains could all have successfully fulfilled the theme on their own. Taking a less obvious approach, the works of Sarah Emerson, Manty Dey, Janelle Young and Susan Hable Smith present a considerably colorful interpretation of the potential beauty found in dust and decay.

Emerson contributes three highly stylized landscapes that resemble mountainous skylines but are infused with jagged, fluorescent accents and hidden, wide-eyed little skulls that suggest a disintegrating environment. Deyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mixed-media works are similarly hot-toned, revealing bright pink shadows beneath windows cut into loosely layered geometric patterns painted onto acrylic sheets.

including R.E.M., Gwen Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Looney and Jack Davis. Many of the homes on view in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Home Showâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;such as those by Art Rosenbaum, Paul Bendzunas and Peter Looseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are immediately recognizable by the artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; distinctive styles.

Musings in Motion: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where We Live, Work and Play,â&#x20AC;? occupying the Upper Atrium, presents sculptural and kinetic works that explore domesticity, labor and activity. The elaborate, meticulously crafted wooden works of Tad Gloeckler reexamine familiar objects through a focus on deliberate design processes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Core,â&#x20AC;? for example, is an interactive, over-the-top mobile card that transforms into a sheltered workspaceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;complete with a 24-page instruction manualâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all for precisely extracting apple cores. To complete â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mastery of the Mile,â&#x20AC;? an accordionbound book stretching several feet down a narrow wooden table, Jennifer Desormeaux Graycheck has silkscreened onto rice paper the maps of over 400 miles of routes she ran while training for a marathon.

In a series of wall-bound sculptures resembling tools, Cameron Lyden employs traditional jewelrymaking techniques to add metallic flourishes to weathered wooden forms, juxtaposing ornamentation and deterioration. Michael Oliveri offers a behind-the-scenes creatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view with a portrait of a man sanding a surf board amidst a recreated assemblage of workshop tools.

The fun kinetic sculpture of Martijn van Wagtendonk and Caryn Marquardt van Wagtendonk is a playful ship decorated with found materials including feathers, twigs and bottlecaps. A system of wheels suggest that two small figures beneath the belly of the boat will strike their hand bells in a cuckoo clock fashion.

An opening reception for the summer shows will be held on Thursday, June 4 from 6â&#x20AC;&#x201C;8 p.m., and Gloeckler, Lyden and the Wagtendonks will offer a gallery talk on Saturday, June 6 at 1 p.m. All three exhibits will stay up through Saturday, Aug. 1. f

Larkin Poe

MUSIC | Wednesday, June 3

MUSIC | Thursday, June 4

40 Watt Club · 8 p.m. · $21 With origins in Calhoun, GA sister act The Lovell Sisters, the two-piece band Larkin Poe is now based out of Atlanta and delivers folk- and gospelinformed roots-rock that’s charming, soulful, accessible and personable. They’re currently opening up for former Bright Eyes guy Conor Oberst and are about to perform the same duties for Elvis Costello on a UK tour later this month.

Catch Larkin Poe Wednesday night at the 40 Watt before they move on to bigger venues; the group’s tunes are at their best in an intimate club setting, where the person-to-person vibe of Appalachian folk shines brightest. Kin is the debut album and worth tracking down. [Chris Hassiotis]

Normaltown Hall · 8:30 p.m. · $8 The self-proclaimed “King of Bummercore,” Nashvillebased songwriter Christian Lee Hutson is at the tail end of a tour in support of Yeah Okay, I Know, his intricate, imaginative second full-length for the Trailer Fire imprint. Hutson’s literate brand of tattered-sleeve confessionalism is a throwback to folk music’s less-is-more roots, a reminder that the form can still be ferocious in the right songwriter’s hands. But Hutson is no mere acolyte; occasional flourishes of glitchy electronica set Yeah Okay apart from the pack.

Quiet and assured, Hutson’s latest LP is a welcome alternative to the empty, bombastic stompand-shout Americana so prevalent on the FM dial these days.
