Here’s how: Go to the State of Georgia’s act.” My Voter Page at vp.sos.ga.gov and fill out the form, or fill it out in person at the local Board of Elections office at 155 E. Washington St., next door to City Hall. You can also use the My Voter Page or call the Board of Elections at 706-613-3150 to find out if you’re registered and where to vote. This is especially important for college students, who are often registered back home—you can only vote in the county where you’re registered. If you’re registered in, say, Gwinnett County, you will have to change your registration to Clarke County by Oct. 11, request an absentee ballot or drive home to vote. You can download an absentee ballot application online and submit it to your county’s voter registration office. Early voting starts Monday, Oct. 17 at the ACC Board of Elections office and runs through Nov. 4, the Friday before Election Day. It’s open from 8 a.m.–5 p.m on weekdays, as well as 9 a.m.–4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29.

nominee for governor in 2014. For the past eight years, he’s “voted for every terrible thing the Republicans have done,” and now he’s staked his reputation on Trump, Carter said. “He supports [Trump], and it’s wrong,” Carter said. “He deserves to lose, and he deserves to lose to Jim Barksdale.” In his brief speech, Barksdale offered the audience a populist vision reminiscent of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders— who energized millions of young voters but ultimately lost the Democratic primary to Hillary Clinton—criticizing special interests, lobbyists, Wall Street tax loopholes and deregulation and calling for campaign finance reform, as well as disentangling the U.S. from Middle Eastern wars. “We’ve got to decide whether greed and profit will be placed at the top of the pedestal, or people are going to be placed on top of the pedestal,” Barksdale said. Several speakers emphasized bringing Sanders voters—as well as those supporting Libertarian Gary Johnson or Green Party candidate Jill Stein—into the Clinton fold. “I listened to Sen. Sanders when he said we have to get behind Hillary,” Clarkston Mayor Ted Terry said. “The choice couldn’t be clearer, and he’s put that out there many times.” Nationally, the conventional wisdom is that Democrats can keep the White House and retake control of the Senate without Georgia, said former congressman John Barrow. But he argued that electing Barksdale and putting Georgia’s 16 electoral votes in Clinton’s column would jump-start the party headed into 2018. In two years, Georgia voters will elect a new governor who will help draw new congressional and legislative districts that will in large part determine which party controls the state for the following decade. The state party is in a better position to win this year than in 2008, Democratic Party of Georgia Chairman Dubose Porter said, with 12 offices and 40 staffers statewide, coordinated by an operative from the swing state of Ohio. The key will be turning out Democrats who might be wavering on whether to vote, said House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams, the top-ranking elected Democrat in the state. “If we show up, and we show out, we can show the world that Georgia is blue,” she said. Of course, Trump came under fire, too. Mayor Nancy Denson said she was “offended” by rumors regarding Clinton’s health and challenged any man to spend hours standing in heels.

Sexism is alive and well, agreed Airee Hong, who owns the downtown vintage shop Agora with her husband, Clarke County Democratic Committee Chairman Russell Edwards. “I can’t tell you how many strange men come into my business and try to tell me how to run it better,� she said. Hong, the daughter of Korean immigrants, took issue with Trump’s immigration stance, too. “I wonder where I’d be today if my family had encountered that closed-mindedness,� she said. Porter reminded the audience that Clinton helped bring the children’s insurance program PeachCare to Georgia, and that she’s fought for clean air and water, pay equality and a higher minimum wage. The Rev. Benjamin Lett, pastor of Hill First Baptist Church, also praised Clinton for “serving our nation� and called into question Trump’s patriotism. “Nobody in the world can say America is not a great country,� Lett said. “You can’t make America great again. America is great.�

Neighborhood Restaurants: Athens-Clarke County law prohibits the sale of alcoholic beverages near schools and single-family homes, but in 2007, the commission approved a waiver process to grant exemptions to restaurants that wanted beer, wine or package licenses. Now the commission is considering doing away with the distance requirements altogether. In nine years, the commission has received five waiver applications and approved all five. “It seems like it was a lot of work for staff and everybody involved when all the applications that were made to us were approved,� Commissioner Jared Bailey said at a Legislative Review Committee meeting last week. The waiver process was meant to encourage mixed-use development and walking-distance neighborhood restaurants like Heirloom Cafe in Boulevard, but at the time they created it, commissioners wanted to keep control over granting waivers to avoid allowing a restaurant that might convert into a nightclub late at night. None of the approved restaurants have had any problems. “We have not had a bad restaurateur or business create a problem where we have to have the police go in and say, ‘Hey, we’ve got to change this,’� Commissioner Harry Sims said. The five-member committee voted unanimously to remove the distance requirements—100 feet from a singlefamily home and 300 feet from a school—for restaurants entirely. State distance requirements will remain in place, as will local distance requirements for bars and package stores, and zoning rules will still apply. “If a Checkers can go there, an Heirloom can go there and pour alcohol,� said Commissioner Kelly Girtz, the LRC chairman. The recommendation goes to the full commission for a vote in November. Next, the LRC will consider lifting distance requirements for retail alcohol sales. The developer of 100 Prince on the St. Joseph’s property is tearing down an adjacent house so that a grocery store there (likely Daily Groceries Co-op) can sell beer and wine, Bailey said. The developer tried to donate the house to a nonprofit that would move it but found no takers, he said. New Sidewalks: At the same LRC meeting, new Transportation and Public Works Director Drew Raessler, a UGA graduate who just arrived back from Cobb County, outlined a new formula for deciding which streets get sidewalks. Building sidewalks has gotten harder and more expensive over the years as TPW has gotten the easiest and cheapest projects out of the way. Sidewalk construction used to cost about $80 per foot, but now it’s more like $250, Raessler said. At that price, the $400,000 ACC spends annually on sidewalks will only build about a third of a mile, but millions more could become available if voters approve a transportation sales tax slated to go on the ballot next year or in 2018. The proposed formula takes into account cost, connectivity (whether the project fills in a gap), the roadway’s speed, evidence of pedestrian activity (like worn dirt paths) and proximity to schools, bus stops and other public facilities. Under those criteria, portions of North Avenue, Chase Street, Oglethorpe Avenue, Southview Drive and The Plaza would rise to the top of the list. f

From deep personal experience, she shows us what it is like when depression strikes a member of a close-knit family—how difficult it is even for them to recognize the illness and to help one who is changing and pulling away from them. This is, after all, a mother, for God’s sake, going back over the period when she watched, helpless in spite of her best efforts, as her son slipped away into the grip of an unfathomable disease. And that’s the big point here. Depression is a disease.

Sex Trafficking and Fire Safety Two More constitutional amendments on the november ballot By Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com In recent columns, we have discussed two of the four constitutional amendments that voters will see on their ballots Nov. 8. Amendment 1, as it is numbered on the ballot, would authorize the creation of an “Opportunity School District,” Gov. Nathan Deal’s proposal for the state to take over the operation of under-performing schools. Amendment 3 would dissolve the Judicial Qualifications Commission, the agency that investigates misconduct by judges, and replace it with a commission controlled by the legislature. Two other constitutional amendments are also on the ballot, so let’s take a look: Amendment 2, authored by state Sen. Renee Unterman (R-Buford), would create a “Safe Harbor for Exploited Children Fund” that would pay for housing, counseling and medical treatment of young people who are exploited by sexual traffickers. The money would come from a $2,500 fine levied upon those convicted of sexual exploitation crimes, and an annual fee from topless nightclubs and other adult businesses that amounts to $5,000 or 1 percent of their yearly revenues, whichever is greater. “Our children need to be harbored and sheltered,” said Unterman. “People aren’t selling drugs anymore, they’re selling people, they’re selling humanity. We’ve got a war on humanity.” Critics of Unterman’s proposal argue that it’s not equal treatment to force nightclub owners who haven’t broken any laws to pay for crimes committed by other people. The legislation does not impose fines on other venues that are used by sex traffickers, such as massage parlors, internet websites, hotels or truck stops. “This bill is wrong and, quite honestly, it is dishonest,” Rep. David Stover (R-Newnan) said.
Amendment 4 would require that the excise taxes collected on the sale of fireworks be spent only for trauma care, fire services and local public safety. The tax revenues could not be diverted to other programs when legislators are writing the budget. If Amendment 4 is approved in November, the excise tax revenues would be divided this way: 55 percent to the Georgia Trauma Care Network Commission, 40 percent to the Georgia Firefighter Standards and Training Council for the training of firefighters and 5 percent to local governments for public safety purposes. “There are no new taxes in this bill,” said Sen. Jeff Mullis (R-Chickamauga), who sponsored the legislation. “It’s simply an allocation of where the existing taxes go.” Of all the amendments on the ballot, Amendment 4 may be the one that’s the most worthy of passage. One of Georgia’s biggest health care shortcomings is the lack of medical facilities that can provide trauma care for seriously injured people. South Georgia especially is lacking in trauma care centers that could provide urgently needed treatment for people who are mangled in car crashes or shot in hunting accidents. The Interstate 75 corridor from Macon to the Florida border has been called the “Corridor of Death” because there aren’t enough conveniently located trauma care facilities to serve the population. There was a similar constitutional amendment on the 2010 ballot that would have generated about $80 million a year for the state’s trauma care network through the addition of a $10 fee on license tag renewals. It lost by a 53-47 percent margin. Voters have another chance with Amendment 4 to raise some badly needed funds for trauma care if they should vote to pass it. f

AthHalf Helps the AthHave-Nots Here’s Who Benefits From the Half-Marathon Fundraiser
S
ince AthFest Educates started AthHalf in 2010, the nonprofit has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for local music and arts education, distributing roughly $25,000 in grants twice a year, including a round just announced two weeks ago. As the annual half-marathon approaches, Flagpole is highlighting some of the recent grant recipients so runners know where their money is going. The 13-mile run’s course will be the same as last year’s, starting downtown at 7:30 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 9 and winding through Cobbham, Five Points and campus before ending with a victory lap at Sanford Stadium. Along the way, runners and spectators will be entertained by DJ Dawgtown, DJ EliteExperience, Dodd Ferrelle, The Despicable Liars, Conner Byers, Zenith Blue, the Flamethrowers Surf Band and Reverend Connor Tribble & the Deacons. A few of the 2,500 runners’ slots are still available at $90 each; visit athhalf.com to register. [Blake Aued]
Instruments for Smaller Hands Size matters—especially when it comes to instruments. When Rebecca Floyd arrived as the new orchestra instructor for Hilsman Middle School, she was greeted with a plethora of full-size instruments—a good problem to have, thanks to the Clarke County School District’s fine arts resources, Floyd says. But there was one problem: “It’s middle school, and [the students] are small.” With the help of two grants totaling $3,900, Floyd was able to purchase 11 “fractional size” instruments, including violins, violas and cellos. Now Floyd not only has instruments better suited for her students, but also “a sort of a cushion for kids who couldn’t afford to rent instruments before.”
Fall 2016 Grant Awards Brian Parido, Clarke Middle School $3,367 to buy three saxophones for symphonic band members.

At Canopy, kids learn physical literacy and soft skills on the trapeze.
Floyd is a follower of the Suzuki method, a pedagogical practice based on the teachings of Japanese violinist Shinichi Suzuki from over 50 years ago. Suzuki realized the similarities between learning a language and learning to play an instrument, and promoted learning by listening over the strict memorization of musical notes. In Floyd’s classroom, she encourages students to “get really familiar with hearing” notes and learning to play by ear first before mastering how to read notes. Once students are comfortable recognizing notes through listening, students can begin learning to read sheet music—a sequence that makes music “easier to learn,” she says. Inspired by AthFest Educates bringing Athens-based violinist Kishi Bashi to nine local schools this spring, Floyd says she plans on applying for another grant this year. Being “less instrument poor,” she saw how excited students were about Kishi Bashi’s performances and hopes to use a grant to bring in someone to work with students, or perhaps another guest artist. “AthFest is an amazing resource,” Floyd says. “I am super grateful for what they do.” [Martha Michael]
Let’s Go Fly a Kite There are 203 eighth graders at Coile Middle School who probably know more about lift, drag, tension and gravity than you do. Math teacher Hilary Rustin, a California native with a doctorate in educational psychology, used her $907 grant to buy kite-making materials in order to teach her students about math, engineering, physics, safety and more. “It’s fairly simple, but it still shows them that, even with this amount of simple building, they are capable of making something that can fly way up in the air,” says Rustin, who has taught at Coile for 10 years. And fly they did. With 15-mile-per-hour winds on a cloudy day, 50 kites at a time soared 150 feet above the field next to Coile. Only a handful of Rustin’s students had ever flown a kite before. Many of them live in low-income neighborhoods, she says, and 95 percent are eligible for free or reduced-price lunches. The kids—their kites decorated with dragons, Hello Kitty characters or donuts—tried to inch their self-built toys higher than the others. Middle school is a crucial time in a child’s mathematical development, and Rustin says eighth-grade math is an “intervention point” for a lot of kids. Rustin was surprised by their ingenuity and compassion on the field, problem-solving when a kite
malfunctioned or crashed, helping each other fix a tear in the plastic, balance the wing or untangle a length of string. “You as a kid are confronted with a bunch of real-life challenges to solve. And it’s fun, and it’s beautiful, and it’s outside, and it’s all the things I think middleschool kids enjoy,” Rustin says. In addition to being an effective platform for teaching valuable math skills, Rustin says “it did give us sort of an IB opportunity to look at other cultures.” The school, like others in Athens, is part of the International Baccalaureate program, an attempt by UNESCO to be internationally minded. The kite project provided the context to look at cultures where kite flying is a tradition and festivals and contests are held, such as Afghanistan, India, China and Brazil. [Kat Khoury]
Play Is Education, Too Two ropes and a bar can teach kids a lot, according to Ann Woodruff-Conley, a recipient of a $3,120 grant. The former special-needs educator turned full-time outreach and children’s programming coordinator for Canopy Studios was met with overwhelming support when she started outreach programs to bring physical literacy to children in Athens, with Canopy dedicating studio time to the cause. Canopy serves as the umbrella over five arms of programming: adult, children’s, teen, special needs and outreach with public schools. Last December, Conley submitted a grant proposal at the last minute after finding out she could apply. She didn’t receive the grant, but Jill Helme, executive director of AthFest Educates, sat down for over an hour with Conley to help her tighten and clarify the grant. The one-on-one help from Helme succeeded, and Canopy received the grant this year. It covers 50 percent of the funds needed for two programs—one with 12 kids from Chase Street Elementary, and one with 12 from Pinewoods in northeast Athens, a community of mostly Spanish-speaking children whose parents are immigrants. (The other 50 percent comes from a portion of regular class fees set aside for scholarships.) “There’s been a large body of research that says that kids are missing literacy in the physical realm,” Conley says, and that’s what she’s out to change. “Canopy is a supporting network of a whole-child approach to education.” Using only a trapeze, she calls what they teach “soft skills,” such as listening to and following instruction, teaching order and process, executive function and cooperative learning skills. “We like kids to come in and they’re challenged with a skill,” Conley says. “And it’s wiggly and scary, and it’s something they’ve never done, so they’re being asked to call on their resilience and confidence—soft skills that make you a good community member. So they have to gather those skills up and execute a task.” It’s not all heavy lifting, though. One important function is reminding kids, especially the teens who come over from Pinewoods, how to play, Conley says. “As we grow up and we get more responsibilities and added stressors to our life, we forget to play, and it’s an important part of being human, enjoying being alive,” she says. “It’s another goal.” [KK] f

AIDS Walk 2016 Benefits Athens Survivors
Athens Youth Chess Team Raises Money for Ethiopia Trip

Such programs are the beneficiaries of AIDS Athens’ annual three-mile walk fundraiser, scheduled for 9 a.m.–noon Sunday, Oct. 8, starting and ending at the Tate Student Center on campus. The goal is to raise $30,000 for a new primary care clinic the nonprofit is opening in partnership with the Athens Nurses Clinic at the new Athens Resource Center for Hope. By opening the clinic, the agency will be able to fulfill part of its original charter, which required part of its building to operate as a primary care facility. While the new ARCH building on North Avenue opened in the spring, the organization did not yet have money to open the clinic.

he Morton Theatre will transform into “little Ethiopia” on Friday, Oct. 7 as the Classic City Knights raise money to send the local youth chess team to the real Ethiopia. The event will feature Lemuel “Life the Griot” LaRoche performing his poems to an array of live instruments such as violins and harps, Ethiopian coffee from Jittery Joe’s, Ethiopian food catered by Mannaweenta and music from WUGA’s “African Perspectives” DJ Akinloye Ojo.

here, and when you get complacent, you ignore your opportunities.” Some Ethiopian students walk over mountains to get to school, and Life hopes that the Knights will get a chance to see what they take for granted, and upon returning to Athens, take advantage of the opportunities they have. “One of the overall objectives would be to understand poverty in Africa,” he says. “What we see as poverty is totally different in another country. We really see this as a way for [the Knights] to be engaged, sit in classrooms, in homes, to understand these kids.” Courtesy of Chess and Community

he vast majority of AIDS Athens clients are on medication and symptom-free, but that doesn’t mean the fight against HIV and AIDS is over. In addition to seeking funding to continue treating the medical needs of its clients, AIDS Athens also works to maintain their mental health and educate the community. While the organization continues to see medical success rates much higher than the national average, says interim Director Cassandra Bray, the biggest challenges faces are stigma, discrimination and shaming towards those infected with HIV/ AIDS. Bray tells the story of how communitywide rumors and shaming on social media led one Athens woman to stop seeking out treatment for HIV/AIDS, eventually leading to her death. Because of those stigmas, her son, who was once a happy, well-adjusted 6-year-old, was also bullied at school. Following her death, not only was her son

left without a mother, but he now struggles with anxiety and behavioral problems, and no longer likes to go to school. “Because of ignorance in the community, unfortunately, I can tell one too many stories like this,” Bray says. “HIV/AIDS is a medical condition, not a result of immorality.” For many, thankfully, the medical condition is under control. Through the help of donations like those raised from this Sunday’s walk, AIDS Athens is able to link individuals infected with HIV/AIDS to proper treatment. Ninety-two percent of their clients are taking the critical antiretroviral medication that slows the growth of HIV, and 89 percent of those clients have an undetectable viral load. “Having an undetectable viral load is good for two reasons,” Bray says. “It means the medication is working and they are taking their medications like they are supposed to.” In fact, when HIV is suppressed to the point of being “undetectable,” it means someone is 96 percent less likely to pass on the virus, an important source of secondary prevention, she says. Of the individuals and families AIDS Athens has placed in homes in the past year, 98 percent have remained stably
This year, registration is free for all participants. Those who want a T-shirt, however, have to donate or raise at least $100. All proceeds go to support the fight against HIV/AIDS in 10 Northeast Georgia counties. “In upcoming months, AIDS Athens plans to broaden their mission and services while staying true to their core population,” Bray says. Their goal is to show victims that through positivity and support from the agency, family and friends, “they can live productive lives, even with HIV.” Walk participants can pre-register through a link at aidsathens.org, and day-of registration begins at 8 a.m. An after-walk celebration will be held from 12–4 p.m. at the Caledonia Lounge with music, prizes and lunch. It’s free for walkers but open to non-walkers as well, for a small fee. f

taking a handful of Knights to Kutaber, Ethiopia for 20 days next summer. As well as starting a service learning project, two secondary schools there have accepted a challenge by the Knights to take them on in a chess tournament. “How do you really inspire children?” Life asks. “How do we get them to really learn what they learn about culture and diversity, engaging with other youth, then coming back to Athens? Then we can engage them as real leaders.” Ethiopia, situated in the horn of Africa, is unique in that it was the only African country never to be colonized, so its culture and history are still richly accessible. “It’s going to be unpacking kids, unpacking experiences, unpacking cultures. It’s going to be a really good cultural experience for them,” Life says. Liya Endale, the founder and director of GEF, met Life when he mentored her in high school. She was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital, and her family is from rural Kutaber, where her aunts and uncles studied and her grandfather taught at one of the schools that have accepted the chess challenge. “I had a particular, poignant interaction with a farm boy working on my grandfather’s farm. It changed my perspective,” Endale says of her time visiting Ethiopia in college, her first time there since she was a toddler. She says she looked at the U.S. differently then. “It’s easy to get complacent
Post-tournament, the kids will tour the country, getting the chance to see the capital, visit museums, attend cultural classes, take lessons in Amharic—the only African language still written in its original alphabet—hear professors from the area speak and engage in a cultural exchange opportunity with kids their age. Nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites are in Ethiopia, and the goal is to see as many as possible. But the crux of the trip is the first of many Collective Hands service learning projects that the Knights will begin during their time there. The hope is to establish a connection in 2017, then take a new group each year and continue working with the same community, keeping strong ties between Athens and Kutaber. Chess is the “universal language,” as both Endale and Life say, that will break the ice between the two groups of kids. The “think before you move” motto of Chess and Community will help prepare the Knights to navigate a country and culture different than their own. Tickets for the benefit show are available at mortontheatre.com, at the box office and at Mannaweenta. f

Why do I want to go to West Georgia math rock and post-rock band skilled at the and pursue this other career, when that’s sort of tension that inspires more clenched not where my heart is?’ So I nixed that, fists than swiveling hips. Ten years after its moved to Athens and started a band.� first album, The Martial Arts, helped dictate If Cinemechanica played such a role in the shape of noise rock to come, the band artists like Aiken not only strapping on guiis back in full force with a new album that tars but playing them at full volume with an fits in the local music landscape so well it array of pedals, then why the radio silence, sounds more like a natural progression of album-wise, over the past decade? Athens rock than a nostalgic rebirth. “We never really stopped working on Cinemechanica is a patient zero of sorts music,� says bassist Joel Hatstat. “Things for the current rock scene, as it’s likely just got in the way.

music with Bryant since 1999. It’s all just a reflection of what we listen to.� Like his new bandmate Aiken, Hatstat first came to Athens because of Cinemechanica, four years before The Martial Arts etched the band into Athens music history. “I moved here with Mike from New Jersey to do Cinemechanica in 2002 because Andy was going to finish his college degree at UGA,� he says. According to Hatstat, the group’s members’ other projects, which at times have taken time and attention away from Cinemechanica, leave an audible mark on the new album. “The guitar playing in Bit Brigade has certainly influenced the guitar playing in Cinemechanica, and a lot of the trade-off stuff that happened in Powers with the four guitars has certainly surfaced in Cinemechanica,� he says. Other bands with Cinemechanica ties have also helped set the stage for the group’s most extensive tour since 2010. Aiken played many of the same venues this year with Lazer/Wulf, placing a familiar face front-and-center most nights. “In a lot of ways, a lot of these other bands have been doing legwork for us,� Aiken says. “We can say it’s Cinemechanica featuring members of some of the bands that formed after Cinemechanica started. It’s sort of backwards how that works.�
For Aiken, taking an all-time favorite band’s music to familiar tour stops is a mission he accepts with evangelistic zeal. “When I first heard this record two years ago when they were recording it, I felt so deeply in love, but I couldn’t share it with people,� he says. “Now I get to go on tour and share this music that I love—but didn’t create—with people.� Although Aiken joined the band after the album was recorded, Hatstat adds a quick aside that should excite fans unwilling to wait another decade for a third album. “Going forward, I imagine that Bryan is going to be a big part of the creation of new stuff,� he says. Regardless of Cinemechanica’s future, the current lineup finds itself reaping the rewards of a regional noise-rock presence it pioneered years ago. It’s back at the forefront of a scene that’s reached a new zenith under the watch of bands that have followed their leader’s winding path. f

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 5, 2016
he Athens Folk Music and Dance Society will present the 32nd annual North Georgia Folk Festival, which celebrates all things folk, on Saturday, Oct. 8. People of all persuasions will gather at Sandy Creek Park to enjoy art, food, music and dance. The family-friendly festival provides activities for attendees of all ages, including children. There will be at least three hours of supervised kids’ activities, including crafts and the Rebecca Sunshine Band, a local children’s music group. The entire event is put on by volunteers, from director Tommy Jordan to members of the Athens Folk Music and Dance Society to members of Boy Scout Troop 111. Any funds left after covering festival costs go to funding the Folk Music and Dance Society’s events throughout the year. This year’s Folk Fest features 13 artists—10 on the main stage and three in the songwriter’s showcase. Jordan says he likes to have a wide variety of artists. With the talent hitting the stage this year, audiences will hear influences from bluegrass, classical, blues, ’60s folk, Americana and more. As the Folk Fest has gained recognition and prestige over its first 31 years, it has drawn the attention of artists from all over the Southeast and even beyond. One such artist, Illinois-based Wil Maring, will be featured on the main stage this year. Maring has routed a Southeastern tour specifically around the festival. In June, Maring met Jordan at a songwriting workshop she was teaching in Tennessee, and Jordan menWil Maring tioned the Folk Fest. Maring said, “Oh, you do a festival! I’d love to come and play for it someday.� Jordan replied that it was a done deal. Maring’s music is rooted in a love of traditional sounds. From the time her parents put her in classical guitar lessons, Maring knew her real passion was for folk and bluegrass. With this in mind, Maring says her guitar instructor taught her the basics of those genres on the sly. Maring went on to play in a bluegrass band, a jamboree band and even spent 10 years playing with a band in Germany. She says she is excited to head down South to be around like-minded musicians. Maring says her music is “an opportunity to feel,� adding, “One song will make you a little sad, then the next song will get you out of your chair, then [there’s] a cowboy song, then a ‘look in the mirror’ song.� Partnering with Maring is Robert Bowlin, an award-winning bluegrass artist. Maring says Bowlin’s talent allows listeners to feel
at a whole different level. These two “have songs where you’re looking into your future, and [it] helps you delve into your past.� Other artists featured on the main stage this year include Athens’ own Hobohemians, a band whose sound is inspired by American music of the 1920s and ’30s. With its big-band feel, the group will have you feeling like you should be on a wide porch sipping a mint julep or jiving in a prohibition-era speakeasy. Over in the songwriter’s showcase, which is headlined by Cortez Garza, you can hear former local Drew Kohl. Kohl
got his first electric guitar for Christmas when he was 13 and switched to acoustic when he was 16, when he fell in love with folk. In college, Kohl played in a bluegrass band that took every opportunity to play, even playing street corners on Friday and Saturday nights. Now based in Nashville, Kohl returns to Athens for his first festival. Kohl’s second EP comes out Oct. 21. These artists and others will share their talents with festival-goers this weekend. So come on out, and, as Jordan says, enjoy this long-running event, which has “no agenda except to have a beautiful day.� f

Kwazymoto Ups Its Game
NIGHTLY
Plus, More Music News and Gossip By Gordon Lamb threatsandpromises@flagpole.com TWO STEPS FORWARD: The clever garagepunks in Kwazymoto have upped their already high game with a new album named On Mount Rennie. It came out two weeks ago, and it’s a total smoker. I don’t know if Athens has gotten something up in its water lately, but this is the second record in as many weeks to recall the 1980s Los Angeles punk scene without aping it. Specifically, this record brings back the brief, shining moment when creativity was encouraged, and the scene was not yet codified. It’s got its 4/4 punk speed, but also an awful lot of weirdo darkness bordering on the post-proto-goth of 45 Grave. Everything here is composed of simply con-
Kwazymoto
structed pieces that coalesce into blistering rawness (“Beseechers”) and shambolic paranoid prayers (“My Hot & Bothered Self”), and it all goes back and forth just like that. The band recorded this with Zeke Sayer out at Sayer’s Gypsy Farm Studio. The release show has come and gone, but you can still throw this in your ears via kwazymoto.bandcamp.com, and meet the boys over at facebook.com/kwazymot0. JUST THIS SIDE OF LOCAL: Former Athenian Dave Nelson (trombone, looper) and current Athenian Marlon Patton (drums, Moog bass pedals) have a duo named Nelson Patton. They’re releasing an album named Along the Way, which features the duo joined on four tracks by improvisational poetry from Atlanta artist and musician Lonnie Holley. The music itself is reportedly drawn from improvisational performances, too. Those are the hard facts. Here are some soft facts: This album is enjoyable in a way that suggests it’s jazz for people who don’t really listen to jazz. Further, it is to experimental music what Morphine was to rock music—that is, a toe-depth exploration into genres casual listeners may have already rejected or not yet explored. For the most part, it’s a pretty groovy record, and it shows some true sparkling creativity on tracks like the upbeat
“Kerhonkson,” the wet-streets-at-night vibe of “Blue Stone” and the gorgeous title track. Along the Way is set to be released Oct. 14. See nelsonpatton.com for more. NOW FEAR THIS: Michael Potter just released a jaw-droppingly cool compilation via his Null Zone label. It’s titled Exterminate All (Rational) Music, and features experimental sounds and artists from all over the world, from Athens to Germany. Of particular interest is a medley of four tracks from former Athenian and legendary avant-garde musician Tom Smith. “Forbidden to the Profane: a Chronological Collage” joins pieces from his groups Boat Of, Peach of Immortality, OHNE and To Live and Shave in L.A., and spans the years 1982–2015. Other artists include Athens expat Alec Livaditis, the excruciating noise terror of Clang Quartet (ex-Geezer Lake), Smokedog, Future Ape Tapes, Potter’s own The Electric Nature and New York’s Sunwatchers, which features exAthenians Jim McHugh, Jason Robira and Jeff Tobias. Fair warning: There’s been a veritable truckload of noise and experimental stuff released in Athens over the past few years, and a lot of this is seriously at the top of the brutality pile. Tread carefully. Or, you know, jump right in at nullzone.bandcamp.com. I did.

Fire Up the Hydrants
Celebrate 80 Years of Clean Water with 20 Painted Hydrants By Jessica Smith arts@flagpole.com
Joshua L. Jones
Commemorating 80 years of clean drinking water in Athens, “Fire Up the Hydrants” presents 20 freshly painted hydrants, each creatively designed by a local artist. Encompassing most of the downtown area, from Thomas Street to Pulaski Street, the public art project draws attention to the value of water and the service the J.G. Beacham Water Treatment Plant provides. “When I was little and growing up in Arlington, VA, I remember the hydrants in Washington, DC were painted in a patriotic theme to celebrate the bicentennial,” says organizer Laurie Loftin, who works as an education program specialist for the Athens-Clarke County Public Utilities Department. “I loved it and, as a child, remember the excitement I’d feel when I spotted another painted hydrant. I wanted Athens to be able to create similar memories for children growing up here.” During a two-year planning process, Loftin sought guidance from similar public art projects in other cities, such as “Hydrant Hysteria” in Harrisonburg, PA and “Paintthe-Plugs” in Paducah, KY. Given the functional nature of fire hydrants—they must remain visible and accessible to firefighters at all times—research focused on how to pull off the project while not jeopardizing the community’s safety. Each hydrant was prepped by being cleaned and scraped using a wire brush, then coated with an anti-corrosive primer to help the new paint adhere to the surface. Artists were provided with basic colors of marine paints, and a protective sealant was applied to each finished hydrant to preserve the work for two to five years. More than 75 proposals were submitted through a blind evaluation process, with the selected 20 designs determined by a panel of judges representing the Athens Area Arts Council (including yours
“I see great value in this specific public art project. I hope it will put a spotlight on the importance of our hidden infrastructure. Most people pass by fire hydrants without giving them a second thought,” says Loftin. “I want people to recognize that it isn’t the hydrant that is special, but the water that comes out of it. That is what we and the firefighters depend on to put out fire. I hope people take a moment to think about how glad they are to have fire hydrants—and clean water—available to them. I want people to celebrate the value of water.”

Two True Tales
Plus, a Ho-Hum New Tim Burton Flick
MISS PEREGRINE’S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN (PG-13) The weird downward creative trajectory of Tim Burton’s career says strange things about the state of artistry in Hollywood. The blockbuster success of 1989’s Batman paved the way for two of the former Disney animator’s most aggressive artistic statements, Edward Scissorhands and Ed Wood. The helming of a billion-dollar picture, Alice in Wonderland, spawned a much more creatively fallow period that includes Dark Shadows, Big Eyes and Alice wannabe Miss Peregrine. After a family tragedy, teenager Jake Portman (Asa Butterfield) discovers that his late grandfather’s stories about a special orphanage in Wales—inhabited by Miss Peregrine (an exquisitely chipper Eva Green) and her peculiar children, like lighter-than-air Emma (Ella Purnell), invisible Millard, super-strong Bronwyn, the Masked Twins and Claire, who has a monstrous mouth on the back of her head—are all true. He also finds that he has the special ability to see the tentacled monsters called Hollows that, along with the Wights, led by Mr. Barron (Samuel L. Jackson), threaten Miss Peregrine and her peculiar children. Miss Peregrine’s strengths are the sumptuous feats of visual magic Burton always gets right; even his worst movies achieve some manner of visual success. Burton still needs that special collaborator to carefully craft a narrative strong enough to compete with his dynamic visual talent. For all of Burton’s visual wizardry, the movie still cannot match the effectiveness of the most stunning aspect of Rigg’s book: the blackand-white found photos scattered throughout its pages. f

Ciné · 7:30 p.m. & 9:45 p.m. · $12 The Invincible Czars revive the 1922 German Expressionist horror classic Nosferatu with a haunting live soundtrack, offering a musical backdrop for movie-goers to appreciate the artistry of silent film. Composer Hans Erdmann intended for the film’s score to be played by a live orchestra during the projection, and although a screening was allegedly recorded, most of the score has been lost over time. The band resurrects the quintessential vampire film through incorporating Bela Bartok’s “Romanian Folk Dances,” reminiscent of Court Orlok’s homeland.

Georgia Theatre · 8 p.m. · $26–31 Compton rapper YG gained success with debut single “Toot It and Boot It” in 2009, which led to a deal with Def Jam. In 2013, YG teamed up with L.A. producer DJ Mustard to craft his debut, My Brazy Life, a concept album about life on the streets that mixed YG’s unique brand of gangsta rap with Mustard’s Bay Area-inspired production. Still Brazy is a less pop-friendly follow-up; its G-funk production and calls to action recall Ice Cube’s early solo material. The album’s biggest single, and the namesake for YG’s tour, is the enraged and powerful “Fuck Donald Trump.” Joining YG is up-and-coming rapper Kamaiyah, whose mixtape A Good Night in the Ghetto is one of this year’s most acclaimed.

Now that the band is taking a much-deserved break from relentless touring, lead guitarist Carl Broemel returns to town to offer audiences a cozier performance at the Caledonia Lounge. Although it still offers plenty of reverb, Broemel’s recently released solo offering, 4th of July, is a collection of shimmering songs that are a bit more subtle than the explosive jamming usually found on My Morning Jacket releases. Local luthier Scott Baxendale has recently enlisted Broemel as one of his clients, so there will undoubtedly be plenty of opportunities for guitar gear geekery. [Dan Mistich]

This Guy Won’t Leave Me Alone Advice for Athens’ Loose and Lovelorn By Bonita Applebum advice@flagpole.com Hey Bonita, There’s a guy with a crush on me who won’t leave me alone! It’s been months, and he still won’t take no for an answer. He gives me little gifts all the time, randomly buys me drinks when we’re out at the same bar and is all over my Facebook comments. Help! He’s never done anything creepy or dangerous, so that’s not my concern, but it’s getting to the point where I can’t take this anymore. I just wanna be left alone and be able to enjoy my evenings out without this adorable but overbearing doofus seeking me out and buying me overpriced IPAs. I’m starting to find this more annoying than endearing. How do I get rid of this guy without coming across as a super bitch? Sincerely, Never Gonna Happen
215 North Lumpkin St. • Athens, GA

buying you gifts and drinks, and to stop blowing up your social media. It’ll definitely come across as harsh, but I’m worried he thinks this is some sort of game when it’s most certainly not. My partner and I are currently on a break after years of a pretty good relationship. It all started when he got close to a new co-worker, and it all just fell apart from there. Nothing ever happened between them, but just trying to talk to him about it got so messy that we decided not to date for a while. He thinks I’m too jealous, and I say he can’t talk without getting defensive. It’s been a few days, and I really miss him, and I’m starting to think I probably did overreact to him being friends with another girl. What do you think?

Oh crap, the neverending crush. I’ve had one of those. Hell, I’ve been one of those—not the proudest moment of my college career. What worked for me was when he finally sat down with me and told me very bluntly that he only thought of me as a friend and was not attracted to me in that way. I must ask you, have you ever done that? Some folks really do need the writing on the wall. If you’ve told him before that you’re not interested, but he’s still going for it like a nerd in a romantic comedy, that’s a problem. You can’t squeeze a “yes” out of a woman who’s already told you “no.” He obviously doesn’t get that. I’m glad he’s never done anything dangerous, but you still have the right to enjoy a night on the town without the added stress of having to tend to an unwanted suitor. It sucks to have one person monopolizing your time when you wanna be social, not to mention that having a guy fawn over you in public can cause other potential suitors to shy away. This guy needs a lesson in boundaries. I think it’s gonna take sitting him down and telling him there’s no chance, but if you’ve done that, you’ve gotta add more conditions. I’d also instruct him to stop

I agree it’s pretty extreme for two people who have been dating for years to break up over a new friend coming into the mix, but it doesn’t sound like that’s why you’re on a break. To me, it seems more like the breakdown in communication was so great that you two need to take a break from talking. Committed men can have female friends and vice versa, of course, but they should also be able to talk to their years-long partner about it and not get so defensive that you decide to split up in the end. That’s a very intense response to a pretty common happening in relationships. Is cheating something you have accused him of in the past? Either something actually did happen between him and his coworker (hence his defensiveness), or he just exploded after years of you looking at him and his friends suspiciously. You both need to evolve in the way you talk to each other, and if you’ve been badgering him about his lady friends for years, stop it and trust your partner. f Need advice?
