The Anti-Discrimination Ordinance Is Back Plus Educators Urge a ‘No’ Vote on Amendment 1 and More Local News by Blake Aued and Carolyn Crist news@flagpole.com Mayor Nancy Denson will put a proposed anti-discrimination ordinance back on the agenda next month, she announced at an Athens-Clarke County Commission meeting Tuesday—shortly after hundreds of protestors marched on City Hall to demand a vote on the ordinance. About 200 protesters marched from the Arch and gathered outside City Hall, then entered the building singing and chanting as the meeting was getting underway. Several dozen of them stood in the back of the commission chamber continuing to sing as new Public Utilities Director Frank Stevens attempted to introduce himself to the commission. Denson told the protesters that she would have police escort them out if they didn’t quiet down. “I think it’s not loud enough, if you ask me,” one woman replied. But the crowd did grow quieter when Denson said she would put the ordinance up for a vote Nov. 1 after blocking a vote for the past two months. Denson didn’t give a reason for the reversal publicly, but in an interview after the meeting, she told Flagpole that, although she previously said she wasn’t sure if she would put the ordinance back on the agenda, it was always her intention

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ OCTOBER 12, 2016
to do so. “It was just being flippant, which I probably shouldn’t have been, but I never intended not to put it back on the agenda,” she said. Denson and commissioners took about two hours of public comment from about 30 speakers in support of the ordinance, including former Atlanta City Councilwoman Cathy Woolard, who helped write Atlanta’s much broader anti-discrimination law 15 years ago and offered her assistance to ACC officials. Woolard said the Atlanta ordinance—which bans discrimination based on race, sexual preference and other factors and covers housing, employment and public accommodations—and the city’s human relations council have been helpful in airing out issues and recruiting businesses and conventions. “It helped us send a very strong message about the values of our community,” she said. The proposed Athens ordinance only bans discrimination at bars, which University of Georgia students say often selectively enforce dress codes or fake being closed for private events to turn black and LGBT patrons away. “If I were to go downtown on a Saturday night, I would expect to be denied entry to multiple bars based on my dreadlocks,” said Mansur Buffins,
president of the UGA NAACP chapter. “They may not say it, but my hair is the reason.” Many speakers said the ordinance should go further, barring discrimination at all types of businesses in Athens. “It’s not just bars, restaurants and other businesses downtown,” said Clarke County NAACP President Alvin Sheats. “We must address all of AthensClarke County.” County officials, however, say they can punish bars by suspending or revoking their alcohol licenses, but they have no authority to regulate most other types of businesses because they’re licensed by the state, not the local government. Georgia has no law forbidding discrimination. “There are problems with local government doing something that I can’t go into,” Denson said, citing attorney-client privilege (although that concept generally doesn’t prevent the client from disclosing information, only the attorney).
Jameka Pattman, an Athens Tech student, broke down in tears as she recalled encountering racism when she moved back to Georgia after a childhood spent moving around the world as part of a military family. “It hurts to say, ‘This is a racist town. You don’t want to live in Athens,’” she said. “I don’t want to keep saying that.” Mokah Jasmine Johnson, a leader of
the forum, which focused on one question: “Who will control our schools?� The amendment’s language is broad, vague and a “power grab,� said C.J. Amason, a local parent and director of the Foundation for Excellence in Public Education. The change would allow a new governor-appointed official to bypass the elected state school superintendent to control school operations and funding. The panel of five experts voiced concerns that a constitutional amendment would give future elected officials the power to change school operations as well. “This is an umbrella amendment for any future legislators to change the rules we now understand,� said Karen Solheim, past president of the Georgia Association of Educators. “That scares the crud out of me, based on past experience of what legislators think is good for education.� An approved amendment would also increase government regulation and bureaucracy, rather than focus on community engagement, said Briana Bivens of Georgia NAACP: Athens hosted the state Keep Georgia Schools Local, a group advoNAACP chapter’s annual convention last cating against the amendment. week, which featured workshops on voting At the local level, educators want the rights, get-out-the-vote efforts and policy newly implemented local school governance accountability. teams to have time to take hold at Clarke The Rev.

Such a committee could write a non-discrimination ordinance covering employment, housing and public accommodations for consideration by the mayor and commission, as well as policies ensuring that city employees’ benefits, city services and law enforcement are equitable, especially for the LGBT community, NeSmith said. He recommended that commissioners spend part of a retreat next month discussing the formation of a civil rights or human rights committee. [Blake Aued]

You can call Sunday night’s debate a draw, but it was more like the fourth quarter in the Georgia-South Carolina game, when the Dawgs were ahead of the Cocks by two touchdowns and playing the defense that gives up short yardage but prevents the bomb. Trump connected with a lot of throws, but Clinton was still ahead at the end of the game.
brought to its knees through foolish, ruinous wars financed by credit card. They want to make America great again after they have blocked all efforts to sustain our country’s crumbling infrastructure. They want to bring jobs back to America after they have looked the other way while American corporations have moved their jobs and their tax base out of the country. They want to tax
Of course it is not a game, and the debate is a pale reflection of what has happened in our country. Donald Trump embodies the Republican Party’s focus on appeals to those who feel left out, those who, in fact, have taken over the Republican Party, i.e. the Tea Party. The Tea Party Republicans have filled Congress with people who disdain government, and now the Tea Party Republicans have in Trump a presidential candidate who disdains government and knows little about it. Hillary Clinton embodies the government of business-as-usual. She is far too close to the middle for that giant segment of her party that supported Bernie Sanders. Unlike Trump, though, Clinton knows how government works, both here and abroad. To those of us who support Clinton, it is inconceivable that a man like Trump could be elected to lead our country, but we’ve been there before. George W. Bush was little better prepared to be president, and our nation suffered grievously from his inexperience and his takeover by right wing extremists. Those same extremists are ready to step in and help Trump govern, should the unthinkable happen. The Tea Party Republicans vowed to disrupt the Obama presidency, and they have done so for almost eight years. They have stymied every effort to deal with the problems they now decry as evidence that our country is on the wrong track. They excoriate “Obamacare� for all its weaknesses that they tacked onto it before it narrowly passed in spite of them. They bemoan the state of the economy that their policies
the poor and give the rich a free ride with the excuse that this will create the jobs such policies have failed to create ever since the Bush tax cuts. They deny global warming because those who support them financially are invested in environmental destruction. They oppose and belittle government regulation because governmental regulations protect water and air quality, product safety, equal rights, the environment and the earth—all of which they pollute for their profit. Like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton is anathema to those who despoil our resources and our people. It is irrelevant to their leaders that Obama is black and Clinton is a woman, but they know full well how to incite the masses with their racist, sexist messages. Donald Trump is the culmination of all these decades of anti-government campaigns. He represents the purest essence of the Republican Party, stripped of all its historical aspects as a coequal political party with a noble tradition of politics and governance, with its heart now eaten out by greed that hides within the worst aspects that can be called forth from our citizenry when they are under the extreme economic pressure fostered by the very people who pretend to be their saviors. The ancient Greek Sophists taught their students how “to make the lesser appear the better cause.� Their successors are still around, and they have many eager students. Sophistry has ruined far greater civilizations than ours, while promising to make them great again. f

“GRAB AND GO” SPECIAL FREE Small Jittery Joe’s Coffee when you buy any biscuit sandwich to go
Ratepayers Likely Will Pay for Georgia Power’s Mistakes By Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com Christmas traditionally is celebrated on Dec. 25 for most Georgians. This year, one of our wealthiest corporate citizens may be celebrating that holiday a little earlier. That’s because the executives and shareholders of the Georgia Power Co. are in line to receive a Christmas gift worth more than a billion dollars when the members of the Public Service Commission convene their regular meeting on Oct. 19. Georgia Power is building two nuclear reactors to go with the two units already in operation at Plant Vogtle near Waynesboro. When the PSC approved the nuclear project in 2009, Georgia Power said it would cost $6.1 billion to pay for its share of the construction and projected that the first unit would be generating electricity by 2016—in other words, right now. Over the intervening seven years, Georgia Power has run up more than $1.7 billion in cost overruns. The nuclear plant that was supposed to be providing power by now isn’t even close. The project is currently 39 months behind schedule and could slip even farther behind. Normally, when a business screws up this badly on a major project, it suffers some financial consequences. That’s what happened when Georgia Power built the first two nuclear units at Plant Vogtle in the 1980s and ran up even bigger cost overruns. The PSC disallowed $1.1 billion in project spending, and prohibited Georgia Power from passing along the costs to its customers. That probably won’t happen now. The current members of the PSC ordered their staff to work up a settlement with Georgia Power’s attorneys in which the utility would likely pay only a token fee—perhaps $40 million or $50 million—for the Vogtle overruns. Georgia Power in turn would be
allowed to pass along the entire $1.7 billion in cost overruns to its customers in the form of higher electricity bills. The company would get off virtually scot-free for its horrendously bungled project. The PSC scheduled a vote on this settlement to take place on Oct. 19, when people will be paying more attention to a presidential race than an obscure regulatory proceeding. The commissioners are expected to vote for the settlement drafted by their staff with little or no public input. The driving force behind this generous Christmas gift for Georgia Power is Commissioner Stan Wise. That’s not surprising. Back in 2012, Wise provided the key vote to allow Georgia Power to charge off $3.2 million in disputed expenses just two days after receiving $10,000 in campaign contributions from the law firm that represents the utility in rate cases. In an ideal world, the PSC would at least hold public hearings and submit executives to cross-examination before approving a sweetheart deal like this one. PSC Chairman Chuck Eaton says that will happen. “It could go in a number of different directions, but I don’t see any scenario where there aren’t hearings,” Eaton said. Eaton is only one vote among five commissioners, however. It wouldn’t be difficult for Wise to cobble together a majority who would approve the giveaway to Georgia Power without hearings—a Christmas gift that would come right out of your pocket every time you pay your power bill. The PSC members are Eaton, Wise, Lauren “Bubba” McDonald, Doug Everett and Tim Echols (who represents Athens). If you want to protect yourself from skyrocketing power bills, you might want to contact them soon. f

Janet Geddis’ Hard Work Pays Off The Avid Bookshop Owner Opens a New Store and Wins a Publishing Award
By Kat Khoury news@flagpole.com
As
Avid Bookshop turns 5 this year, its gift to itself and Athens is “an Avid and a half,” as owner Janet Geddis puts it. The expansion of the beloved bookshop on Prince Avenue to a second location next door to Condor Chocolates on Lumpkin Street in Five Points has some loyal customers worried, but Geddis says, “We’re growing so fast we had to make a move and expand somehow, and expanding our physical store on Prince wasn’t possible.” Avid opened on Prince in 2011, after Geddis had attended conferences and worked with the UGA Small Business Development Center and others in the business for years to learn the ins and outs. Independently owned bookstores are notoriously challenging businesses, but Geddis is a woman who thinks things through, takes her time and does her homework. She and event coordinator Rachel Watkins, who has been with Geddis since before the first Avid opened its doors—and will be leaving her other job at the nonprofit Books for Keeps, which distributes free books to children, to work full-time at Avid in November— are seeing their dreams come to fruition. “Before Avid was open, we were partnering with Books for Keeps back when it was a one-woman operation and Avid was a one-woman operation,” Geddis recalls, “So it’s kind of neat to see how two different book-related businesses have really started to thrive, so the impact our customers can have on them has just gotten stronger over the years.” Now, Geddis employs a handful of full- and part-time workers, has a loyal customer base and is successful and sought out in the book biz. The store itself is an active part of the community, with Geddis and her crew hosting poetry readings and book signings, going to school fairs and partnering with other local entrepreneurs. Opening a second location doesn’t mean spreading herself or her business too thin, Geddis says, and she wants to reassure her customers that the Prince location will remain the same and the expansion will simply allow for bigger and better choices for readers. “My current booksellers are going to split their time between the two stores, just to

keep continuity for existing customers and then make sure that the Avid way is fully communicated [at the new store],” she says. She’ll also be able to bump several current employees to full-time status—a priority in the expansion—and hire more part-timers for the Five Points store. One of the reasons for the second location is to increase sales per square foot, the standard for determining success in the business, and with that income to support more sustainable jobs for people who want to stay in Athens. “It’s hard to stay in Athens and make a living here,” Geddis says. Geddis herself will be spending more time in the stores, too, “but not necessarily in a customer-facing position,” splitting her time between the two locations and moving her home office into a custom-built space in the Five Points store. “I’ve done a lot of demographic research on the neighborhood, and first and foremost, we want to make sure that each book shop is a neighborhood book shop,” Geddis says. “Anyone who’s familiar with Athens knows it’s a little different [in Five Points] than it is on the Prince Avenue corridor, and both places are wonderful, but it’s apparent when you spend time in both spots that the community is a little bit different.” Oneta Woodworks is contracted to build custom shelves that will allow for the typical, carefully curated Avid selections, as well as the types of books Geddis finds the neighborhood wants and the smaller space at Prince Avenue can’t handle—large-format, such as cooking, coffee table, art, design and other display-type books that sell better when their covers can show. The name of the store will mirror that of its older sister. “The formal name will be Avid Bookshop at Five Points, but we’re going to sort of let the customers kind of figure out what nickname they come up with and probably just go with that,” Geddis says. Although Geddis won’t release details of the surprise just yet, she says the children’s section of the new store will be “really remarkable,” and that it will appeal “both to kids and adults, just like the book balloon at Avid [on Prince] does.” The biggest issue for Geddis and her customers will be parking. “It’s very obvious where you aren’t allowed to park,
but it’s not very obvious where you are allowed to park,” she says. And while she recognizes she’s the new kid on the block, she wants to educate people on free parking in the area, much of which few people know about. She says research shows that sharing parking instead of designating spots for certain businesses leads to better cohesion in the neighborhood and better sales for all businesses. “I’m hoping that’s something we can work on,” she says. As for the neighborhood, she’s getting a warm welcome. “We think it’s great. We think any time a business, especially a locally owned one, opens up here, it’s awesome,” says Kevin Florence, owner of ADD Drug, which is situated nearby on Lumpkin and has been open since 1961. “We’re very excited to have someone next door that will be more support for local business,” says Nick Dale, co-owner of Condor Chocolates. Aside from planning and executing the expansion of Avid, Geddis was named one of the top 40 on Publishers Weekly’s Star Watch list last month. The list recognizes leaders in the publishing industry who are making a strong impact and setting trends in the literary world. The list is heavily dominated by women, and made up of publishers, publicists, editors—anyone in the publishing industry. Geddis says she is still mystified as to who nominated her. “There are a couple of people who I just thought I knew who it was, and I asked them and they said ‘no.’ I don’t know who did it!” The announcement came on the same day Geddis planned to announce the new expansion of the store, so “everything is coming together at once, and it feels really great.” With Geddis’ newfound fame in the book world and success as a small business owner over the last few years, she says she’s still trying to get better at accepting compliments gratefully. “It feels a little strange. I love it, [but] it’s also a little bit, I don’t know how to describe it,” she says. “It feels wonderful, and it makes me feel like all the things I dreamt of achieving before I opened my bookstore are coming true, that it’s a beloved place, and people like me and they like my staff, and they either hit it off with all of us or they have a particular bookseller who they really connect with, and that means a lot to me.” f

Eason Falters, but Running Backs Excel in South Carolina Win by Cy Brown news@flagpole.com In the wake of Ole Miss’ neck-stomping blowout and Tennessee’s heart-ripping Hail Mary over the last two weeks, I would’ve taken any kind of win against South Carolina, no matter how ugly. And, true to my wishes, Georgia ground out its fourth ugly, close victory of the year, beating the Gamecocks 28-14 in Columbia. Both facets of the offense never clicked at the same time. Most of the season, Jacob Eason and the passing game have exceeded expectations, while UGA’s vaunted tailbacks underwhelmed. But the running game returned to top form Sunday—Hurricane Matthew pushed kickoff back a day—finishing with 326 rush yards, while the passing game regressed to what our worst fears of it were when the season began. No doubt it feels good to get back on the winning foot, but if Georgia keeps putting up incomplete performances, landmines abound, even as it enters the weakest part of the schedule.
and 9.1 yards per carry against South Carolina—a better average than Chubb or Michel. That three-pronged attack is likely what Kirby Smart envisioned when he began installing Georgia’s power-running system. Now, if only that absurdly productive run game could join forces with the absurdly talented arm of Eason, we’d have a hell of an offense this season. But, despite showing flashes of brilliance many times this season, Eason looked well below average against the Gamecocks. Frankly speaking, it was a clunker—Eason’s worst game in a Georgia uniform by far. On short passes, he threw long. On long passes, he threw short. It was just an incredibly inaccurate, unpoised performance. He finished 5-of-17 for 29 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. I’m not getting too down about the performance, since Eason has shown all those Steven Colquitt / UGA Athletics

Offensive coordinator Jim Chaney watches Jacob Eason practice last week. Whatever they were practicing, it didn’t work.
The biggest positive takeaway is that Nick Chubb, recovering from an ankle injury, seemed to be himself again for the first time since the North Carolina game, rushing for 121 yards at a 7.6 yards-percarry clip. He also scored two touchdowns in the first half to give the Bulldogs a 14-0 lead, which kept South Carolina at bay for most of the game. Chubb showing no ill effects after only one carry last week is a definite good sign moving forward. However, the leading rusher on the day was Sony Michel, who finished with 133 yards on 21 carries. It was Michel’s first 100-yard game of the season. With his fairly limited carries and production so far this season, Michel faded into the background of the Georgia offense. But Sunday was an example of what he can do when given a good number of looks. (He ran for 1,100 yards last season without breaking much of a sweat in relief of the injured Chubb.) If Michel and Chubb can both play their best games, there are few limits to what the Georgia running game can do. Of course, this is all without mentioning the offense’s biggest surprise this season: Brian Herrien. The freshman has already made himself the clear heir apparent to Chubb and Michel. He rushed for 82 yards

moments of brilliance this year, and I don’t think he’ll suddenly lose those capabilities. Eason still has a lot to figure out, so mistakes and bad games are expected. This is his honeymoon season, and all will be forgiven as long as he’s better next year. It does make me worry more about the second half—the easier half—of the schedule, though. He’s now shown that a rotten egg can happen in any game. If that coincides with a day the running game doesn’t turn up, we’re in big trouble. My problem with the South Carolina game is the lack of consistency and completeness. So far this season, no player has shown he can be relied upon, game in, game out. At the same time, the passing game and running game can’t get on the same page. (To extend this to the defense, the front seven performed well for once, but the secondary was nearly torched by a bad QB.) Overall, it leaves me with a feeling you don’t want to have about your team halfway through a season: uncertainty. Next week provides an opportunity to get everyone on the same page, though. Vanderbilt, the worst team in the SEC, comes to Athens. If we can’t get a complete game next week, I just don’t know if it’s in the cards this season. f

Learning With the Breast Lactation Consultants Can Help With New-Baby Frustrations By Kristen Morales news@flagpole.com

What I really, really wish the lactation consultant had There’s a lot that’s changed in the eight years separating my told me, while I lay in bed with a tiny, squirmy, sleepy baby, two children. For example, iPhones now exist. The birthing was the hard truth: Breastfeeding is hard and overwhelmsuites at both hospitals in town have undergone a makeing and painful at first. You will be frustrated and sore and over (some even with tubs!). And breastfeeding in public is tired and feel like your baby is not getting enough to eat. now an accepted practice. But it does get better, I promise. Just like your body I’m not saying it was never appropriate to feed your recovers from the birth process, your body (and your new baby in public before, but in the years since my daughter was born, a new law requires companies to accommodate nursing mothers; we’ve campaigned around this town (and across the country, really) to have businesses post breastfeeding-friendly stickers on their doors; and we’re also pretty good at openly mocking the occasional establishment that tries to shut down a breastfeeding mom. But what we still haven’t quite gotten our heads around is the actual act of breastfeeding—at least, in a way that prepares a mom for what’s to come. The act of having the baby gets all the attention—and, yes, one could argue that it should. But we all seem to gloss over the fact that within days of giving life to a new human, your body then begins to produce milk that will sustain this new life for the next six to 12 months or more. Not only is it mind-blowing, but it fundamentally changes your body in a way you’ve never experienced before, at a time when all you want to do is get back to your normal body. If I could go back in time to the 24 hours I spent in the hospital postpartum, I would grab that lactation consultant’s hand, pull her into the room, and ask her to explain a proper latch and show me different ways The author with her son, Alex. to hold my baby.

the one thing that everyone, finally, tells the handful of new moms in the room. I’m passing it on here because I wish someone had told me this before my children were born. If you take away nothing else from this column today, understand this: The first thing you should do when that baby comes out of you is put it on your breast. Keep practicing at the hospital. Call the lactation consultant to be sure it’s going OK (even if you think it’s fine), and be prepared for several weeks of struggle before it starts to click. Here’s a quick run-down of where you can go to get some support. If you want, go before you have that baby, but expect to go back, because I promise you, nothing will make sense until you’re holding that baby and have accepted the fact that your breasts are no longer yours (and you’ve gone outside to check the mail with only half of your tank top on… not that that’s ever happened to me).

Celebrate the Master of the Macabre During Poe-tober “Big Read� Grant Funds Art, Theater and Community Programs By Jessica Smith arts@flagpole.com the music in his work and its playful yet dark qualities are those that appeal to a wide range of readers, mesmerizing us with incantatory delight.� Demonstrating the author’s undeniable impact on visual art, the “Poe-tober Art Exhibition� features over 50 artworks
Edgar Allen Poe’s chilling yet eloquently articulated tales of mourning, loneliness, torment and death have survived for over a century, forever shaping the development of horror, detective and science fiction genres. Reflecting Poe’s tremendous influence on the humanities—art, theater, literature and storytelling—Poe-tober pulls together the efforts of several local organizations for a full month of programming. The collaborative partnership is orchestrated by Melisa Cahnmann-Taylor, a poet and professor in the department of language and literacy education in the UGA College of Education, who received a “Big Read� grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Discovering through government surveys that too few Americans are James Greer reading for pleasure— about 50 percent of participants reportedly only read one work of a fiction a year—the “Big Read� was launched in order to support 75 communities across the country. Similar to the NEA-funded programs associated with environmentalist poet Robinson Jeffers that were held last spring in town, the grant for Poe-tober supports visiting speakers and performers as well as copies of books which will be given away at events. “Poe is a wonderful, monosyllabic name, a strong single beat that everyone can march to,� says Cahnmann-Taylor. “While he has been known for macabre stories of burying people alive, haunted Usher houses and heartbeats beneath the floorboards,
Poe-tober events throughout the month, and Rose of Athens will lead a Poe Pub Crawl with performances at multiple bars. “It is an unbelievable privilege to work with the education directors and organizers from so many organizations. We are all carrying out a similar role—enlivening community participation and galvanizing an educated, united citizenry,� says Cahnmann-Taylor. “It reminds us of how lucky we are to live in this wonderful town with access to so many programs that are free and full of beauty.� Poe-tober will culminate on All Soul’s Day with Asian-German-
American poet Kimiko Hahn, who will read from Toxic Flower, a collection of poems that parallel life science and botany to human science. Like Poe, Hahn frequently approaches macabre or taboo subjects. Consulate-General of Japan Takashi Shinozuka will provide introductory remarks, and a reception will be held afterwards with samplings of Japanese tea. “There is so much negativity in our news today, and our focus can be distracted on loss, grief, anger, disenchantment. Poe suffered a great many losses in his life and had much to grieve, yet his response was to make art, literature that would endure for generations to come,� says CahnmannTaylor. “His sufferings became some of our country’s treasure in words on the page. My goal for Poe-tober is to remind us of Poe’s work and legacy, to place his work in readers’ hands, and collectively imagine what we might create together for a better tomorrow. We live in diverse corners and often disconnected lives, but art and literature have the power to link us together and put us on the ‘same page,’ so to speak.� f

Violent Beginnings and Endings Slaves Revolt, Clothes Unravel, and a Plot Goes Off the Rails
THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN (R) Paula Hawkins’ novel The Girl on the Train was billed as the next Gone Girl. The mysterious thriller filled that role pretty well. Now comes the inevitable film adaptation. Emily Blunt dresses down as alcoholic divorcee Rachel, who gets embroiled in a Rear Window-ish sitch from her daily seat on the train to New York City. Her obsession with Megan Hipwell (Haley Bennett, hot on the heels of The Magnificent Seven) and her husband, Scott (Luke Evans), leads her to become a main suspect, alongside the husband and a sketchy psychiatrist named Dr. Abdic (Edgar Ramirez), in the beautiful young woman’s disappearance. As if that were not enough, Megan happens to live down the road from Rachel’s ex, Tom (Justin Theroux), and his new wife, Anna (Rebecca Ferguson), and nannies their baby girl. Hawkins provided a lot of complications, and screenwriter Erin Cressida Wilson (Secretary) includes them all. If you have yet to read the book, the movie ensures you never need to. The Girl on the Train is thorough, if lacking in the novel’s shadowy and propulsive energy. Director Tate Taylor shot this film in dreary, gray tones that resemble Fifty Shades of Gray. Fortunately, the final couple of acts pick up steam, as the overly twisty plot unknots itself and Justin Theroux gets more screen time. Kudos to the makeup artists who turned the beautiful Blunt into a doughy lush; they deserve an Academy Award. The rest of the movie is an overly straight adaptation of a pretzel of a novel providing little incentive for viewing by anyone who already knows what happens. f

UGA Has Its Very Own Taco Truck Plus, Finding Hmong Food in Winder By Hillary Brown food@flagpole.com
Joshua L. Jones
Also, the vegetarian options are not an I’M TRUCKIN’: Even if you love UGA, you afterthought. Rather than slapping some probably recognize that it doesn’t tend sad mix of grilled vegetables, barely salted, to pursue hot trends. It’s big, it’s old, and into a taco and calling it a day, the folks one of the three pillars of its arch stands in charge created an excellent version of for moderation. That makes it all the more surprising that it now has its very own food barbacoa that uses shredded hearts of palm to mimic the texture of slow-cooked beef, truck, Taqueria 1785, which can be found from one end of campus to the other, serving up a small but tasty menu. “A taco truck?” you say, readying your Marco Gutierrez/Donald Trump jokes. Yup. A taco truck. It’s not as classic in what it offers as some of the ones on the outskirts of Atlanta, but Athens isn’t exactly so awash in food trucks that it can afford to get snooty about complex concepts like authenticity. The real question is: Is it good? And the answer is: Hell yeah. Not only is it pretty good considered in the light of a food truck run by a university food-services operation, but it is pretty good compared to food trucks generally and pretty good compared to tacos generally. The pork cecina tacos with avocado-tomatillo salsa, sliced radishes, raw onion and cilantro are straight out of Rick Bayless’ book, and although they’re a mess to eat, they’re worth getting a red line of meat juice down Taqueria 1785 your arm. The “North of the pairing them with the cumin-lime slaw and Border” beef and bean taco is Americana— a citrus-garlic aioli. There’s also a quesadilla chili powder in the beef and beans, shredded cheddar, lettuce, onions—which means that combines roasted cauliflower with roasted Anaheim chiles, mozzarella and it tastes like a lot of people’s childhoods. provolone. All kinds of crispy bits of this A fish taco (seared, not fried, cod with a and that hang out of the edges, and you cumin-lime slaw, queso fresco and a lemondon’t feel like you’re missing a thing for caper aioli) is light and bright and not there being no meat. greasy, but only available on Fridays.
The quesadillas are big and come with your choice of salsa for $8. The tacos are much smaller, and also $8, but you get two plus a side, which ends up being a decent meal, although perhaps not if you have a big appetite. If you really need chips and salsa, it’s one of the three sides, although why not get the cup of sofrito rice and beans or the salsa-infused macaroni and cheese, which is remarkably successful? If you can handle them, you can also order funnel-cake fries, which are freshly fried strips of funnel cake, drizzled with either caramel or chocolate sauce. The menu is, on the whole, unafraid of big flavors, as you can guess from reading the list of sauces, salsas, slaws, etc., all of which assert themselves pleasantly.
Being a well-backed operation, the truck runs smoothly, with one window for ordering and another for pick-up, a tailgate tent for shade, some high-boy tables occasionally, a neat little credit card swiper built into the side and two pull-out trays of cold beverages, from Coke to pineapple Jarritos, to apple- and sangria-flavored soft drinks.
The truck has a twitter account (@taqueria1785) on which it publicizes its location and hours (mostly but not exclusively lunchtime, Monday through Friday), usually well enough in advance for planning. It takes Paw Points and Bulldog Bucks as well as credit cards and cash. HIDDEN DELIGHTS: Winder isn’t exactly known as a gourmet destination, but it does have a notable Hmong population, a fact you might recall if you wander into Pho & Deli (53 Monroe Hwy., 678-900-1619), a small restaurant attached to a Valero gas station, and discover that it is not, in fact, a Vietnamese restaurant. Oh, sure, it has pho, the classic beef-broth-based noodle soup that is a foundational element of Vietnamese cuisine, plus banh mi sandwiches, both of which are good, but it also has other things. The Hmong sausage, served with sticky rice, is chunky and mild, pork-based and fragrant of garlic and green onions. Long, sticky rolls made of glutinous rice are stuffed with ground lean pork, cooked with mushrooms, and served with a thin, mild dipping sauce. If you order the green papaya salad (tam maak hoong) for take-out, you may at first not understand what appears to be a knotted plastic bag of brownish goop, but have faith and dig in. You’ll find something spicy, fresh and complexly delicious in a way that keeps you coming back to figure it out. Pho & Deli is open for lunch and dinner every day, retails lowcountry boils ready to go, has a cooler full of interesting soft drinks and some tables. It’s been open for about a year and a half and takes credit cards. WHAT UP?: Creature Comforts’ funky new saison, Transmission, is out now. Koyla Sizzling Grill & Hookah Lounge is open on Milledge. E3 Thai Cuisine is open in the former Speakeasy space. Keep up with all local food news on the Grub Notes blog at flagpole.com. f

Warehouse Plumbs the Depths on LP No. 2 D on’t let Atlanta post-punk band Warehouse’s quick ascension in underground circles fool you. The five-piece, which quickly became the capital city’s freshest musical export following the re-release of a stellar debut album on Brooklyn indie Bayonet Records, hasn’t had it quite so easy. For instance, take the recording of the group’s most recent album, Super Low, which bore the weight of a band unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight. Early last year, Warehouse was featured as a Stereogum Artist to Watch after Bayonet—spearheaded by industry mainstay Katie Garcia and her husband, Beach Fossils’ Dustin Payseur— announced it would provide a physical release for Tesseract, the band’s first album, which was released digitally in 2014. “With Super Low, there was a lot more expectation from us, and also a higher level of personal expectation from ourselves,” explains Warehouse singer Elaine Edenfield. Super Low was tracked in New York following a two-week tour before Edenfield, wanting to polish her takes, re-recorded vocals at home. The band then submitted the album to its label, but “they kindly asked us to just scrap the whole thing,” Edenfield says. Warehouse then started from scratch, recording the album at the Living Room in Atlanta, where they originally recorded Tesseract in a day. Although unplanned, the additional sessions resulted in a final product Edenfield and company were very happy with. Recording hiccups were just the tip of the iceberg, however, considering what lies beneath the surface of Super Low’s 10 songs. Warehouse has always excelled in transferring the principles of abstract expressionism to its music, allowing Edenfield’s relatively cryptic lyrics to form impressions in listeners’ minds instead of presenting direct narratives. The group’s sophomore album doesn’t digress from
this philosophy, but a simpler, more pointed melodicism from the guitars and bass actually brings more focus to Edenfield’s personal writing. “My style of songwriting is, for better or worse, very personal, but also in contrast really vague and open to interpretation,” Edenfield says. “I like to have [my lyrics] be this ambiguous but hugely emotional thing you can find lots of personal meaning in.” Much of the album centers around the dissolution of a long-term relationship, which Edenfield copes with in myriad ways. Her signature gruff growl describes an attempt at self-preservation on the album’s title track, as she sings, “You’re reeling me in/ And wringing me out” and “Gouge my eyes/ And make me see another way.” Elsewhere, there

I like to have my lyrics be this ambiguous but hugely emotional thing.
are attempts to balance devotion with an inevitable end, like on “Reservoir,” which provides the closest thing to an uplifting mantra one will find on the record: “Don’t ever fall behind/ Just ’cause it’s easier/ Don’t ever lose your place/ Or throw it all away.” Written in part at a punk house Edenfield says was eventually torn down to make way for a parking garage, the remaining songs that made the cut were completed at a newer home across the street from Super Low, a food mart. The title “seemed to fit, because the album became about going down into this deeply endogenous place of introspection and destruction, only to come out in a new and not-sofamiliar landscape,” Edenfield says. While there is much common ground between Tesseract
and Super Low, the band sheds the texture and complexity of the former for its latest effort. “The songs on Super Low came together as a more concise continuation of Tesseract and [were] written largely in the same style,” Edenfield says. “Many of the songs are written by Alex [Bailey] and Ben [Jackson] on guitar, and everyone else is trusted enough just to fill in however they see fit.” The subtle changes in sound mostly have to do with the band’s own critical analysis and deliberation. “We are slow songwriters, and so we had lots of time to figure out the elements of Tesseract that we did and did not like,” says Edenfield. “We knew we wanted more variety and intentionality, like, for example, a very slow-moving song with only talking, or a long instrumental bit.” Having already incorporated these new songs into its sets for some time now, the band is ready to embark on a short two-week tour this October up the East Coast and throughout the Midwest before hitting the West Coast and Europe next spring. And as tends to happen with artists that are required to focus on a particular project for an extended period of time—and especially when that material comes from one’s deepest, darkest depths—the group is already motioning towards album No. 3. For now though, the members of Warehouse can breathe a sigh of relief as they put the strains of Super Low behind them. f

rom the outside, it might seem like Molt, the first full-length from The Arcs, was troubled from the start. Thankfully for fans of Athens’ finest purveyors of power-pop, they’ll have plenty of reasons to celebrate the release of their new record when they play with Shehehe and Golden Eels this weekend at the Caledonia Lounge. The band’s most recent challenge came when it received an unexpected message from the management and legal team of Black Keys guitarist Dan Auerbach. It seemed the Nashville-based rock star had decided to name his new project The Arcs.
and their day jobs, Lane’s studio was primarily a mobile operation—the aptly named Express Lane Mobile Unit—which made recording especially difficult. “We bought a computer as a group,� says Gerow. “But even though we had a lot of freedom with the recording process, we were having trouble finding a place to keep it set up and constant. So it was in a few different apartments, and then we found that it was hard to record in an apartment.� The band had a stroke of good luck when Lane and his family moved into a house that was nearly perfect for turning into a recording studio. It gave The Arcs the
Given that the Athens iteration of The Arcs—which features Kevin Lane on guitar and vocals, Brandon Reynolds on guitar, Ben Spraker on bass and Dave Gerow on drums—had existed since 2008, that communication certainly wasn’t expected. “Blindsided is an underestimation of it. It was a total surprise. It came out of nowhere,� Gerow says. Lucky for those in the Athens contingent, negotiations between the two bands were as painless as possible. Both groups agreed to share the name and coexist, despite the inevitable search-engine confusion. “We are amicably existing. All legal matters are totally settled and nonexistent,� says Gerow. “It’s an interesting situation, but we’re not trying to operate under the radar. We were able to come to an agreement that everyone was satisfied with,� he says, adding, “They were extremely cool and very intent on not being the big rock-star jackasses who were trying to bully around the little guy.� Although settling any potential legal matters with Auerbach was a relief, the band was more relieved to complete work on its latest record, which itself was no easy task. “It was a long process, because we had our computers dying and we didn’t have a stable space to have a studio setup,� says Gerow of the length between the album’s conception and release. In addition to coordinating the schedules of band members
opportunity to get to work and complete their record. “All of a sudden, we had access to a regular, stable studio,� says Gerow. Molt features 10 tracks of solid powerpop sure to sate fans of bands like Big Star and The Posies. Songs like “Opening Band� feature enough rock crunch to offset The Arcs’ major-key melodies and quippy lyricism. “Nothing You Do� is the most bittersweet tune the band has put to tape, Teenage Fanclub on downers. Despite the recording sessions being arduous and somewhat inconvenient, the band welcomes the opportunity to celebrate Molt’s official release. “Anytime a band can have a physical release that they can hold, that’s a victory in and of itself,� says Gerow. Given the long road they’ve had to endure, The Arcs are excited to generate some buzz while avoiding a high-profile lawsuit over their name. “We’ve got a fair amount of friends and have been lucky to play in some OK bands over the years,� says Gerow. “Of course, there could be three crickets and some tumbleweeds when we show up to play, but we’ll just have to see.� f

Tony B Drops a Diverse New Album
Join
Plus, More Music News and Gossip By Gordon Lamb threatsandpromises@flagpole.com BACK IN THE RING TO TAKE ANOTHER SWING: Longtime Athens rapper Tony B will celebrate the release of his new fulllength album Tuesday, Oct. 18 at Iron Factory. The album is named Humble, and it’s the first big batch of new music we’ve heard from Antonio Bradford since his 2013 album Occupy the Streets. This night is presented by AthFactor Entertainment, with Montu Miller hosting and Chief Rocka spinning, and will also feature performances from Ant Da Ripper, We’re Weird, Will the Producer, Celina Lina and Mackboy and Big Guap. In a bit of very cool news, Bradford recently won a contest hosted by Atlanta’s Street Execs studio, and scored some free studio time with producer Shawty Fresh (Rich Homie Quan, Migos). On Humble, Bradford uses several different producers, and his crystalline, melodically oriented flow is well supported by the variety. After listening to way too many cheapbeat and claptrap mixtapes this year, it’s nice to have this mix of Southwest menace, groove-oriented R&B and even early-’90s west Atlanta styles. The release show starts at 9 p.m., and you can grab a copy of Humble at spinrilla.com/mixtapes/infamous-tony-bhumble. SPARK ME UP: There’s probably no other band in Athens that defines “woodshedding” as much as The Arcs. This foursome of longtime Athens players spends nearly as much time writing and perfecting its material as most folks spend during an Athenspaced run through college. Previous to this week’s new release, the fulllength album Molt, the band had only Tony B released five songs, and three of those came out over six years ago! At any rate, the band has held true to its brand of crisp, guitar-based, hyper-melodic rock and roll. Nary an errant note nor missed beat will be heard nor tolerated. This distinction makes the group markedly separate yet tunefully aligned with inspirations Paul Collins, Graham Parker, Guided by Voices and even Van Halen. High points on Molt include the dreamy chorus of “Boyz Nite Out,” the matter-of-factness of “I Wear a Watch” and the curse of enduring—yet also being—an “Opening Band.” All in all, it’s an expectedly solid batch of tunes that make up in precision what they lack in sloppy urgency. See
p. 18 for more, and perform your due diligence at thearcs. bandcamp.com and facebook.com/TheArcs. FIFTEEN YEARS LATER: Experimental sound collage artist Jeffry Astin moved to Athens from Gainesville, FL several months ago. His newest release, Bhsaaveaegi, came out late last month. I’ve listened to this during the day and during the night, and the latter is better. Its seven tracks originally began their compositional life circa 2001, but were thought to be lost. Art doesn’t exist in a vacuum, and 2001, to say the least, was a significant year politically and culturally. Taking that as a jumping-off point, and without trying to unduly contextualize someone else’s work, it’s a fascinating listen. What sounds like the gentle crunching of leaves is a perfect coda to the dissolving keyboard exploration of “When the Ground Opens Beneath Me I Dissolve in a White Sunburst of Dawn,” the slammed doors and found sound of “The Winding Pathways Between the Legs of Tables And Chairs” and what I suspect is a harmonium meeting violin and digital disruption are all emotional high points for me. Give it a listen at jeffryastin.bandcamp.com and form your own conclusion. It’s available on vinyl and cassette, too, for those who need physical relics. SENSES WORKING OVERTIME: I’ve previously mentioned the upcoming Halloween Hop, the all-day festival at Preserve restaurant Monday, Oct. 31, but there’s new news. In addition to the stupidly good lineup on-site (starting at 2 p.m.!) the Hop is hosting two simultaneous after-parties, each beginning at 10:30 p.m. The World Famous will host Linda, Sonic Avenues, Feather Trade and Beth Israel. The Caledonia Lounge will host Canadian Rifle, Burns Like Fire, Cancers, the Steve Adamyk Band and Iron Chic. If you buy a wristband for $20, these night shows are included but if you don’t, The World Famous will run ya $5 and Caledonia will cost $10. Grab tickets at halloweenhop.brownpaperticket.com.

record review Kuroma: The Dark Horse Rides Again (Votiv) Chances are you’ve heard Hank Sullivant’s music before—he was a founding member of once-local garagerock trio The Whigs and a touring member of indie-pop stars MGMT. While the popularity of those bands surged, Sullivant’s Kuroma project flew under the radar. On his latest release, The Dark Horse Rides Again, his conversion to Catholicism and gradual writing pace inform a potent batch of melodic, texture-driven psych-pop tunes. While there’s much to compare to Kuroma’s psychedelic peers, like Tame Impala and Melody’s Echo Chamber, there’s more to be said about Sullivant’s playful and varied approach to songwriting. Dark Horse hits the ground running and rarely revisits the same territory, oscillating between kinetic barnburners (“A Day With No Disaster,” “Tennessee Walker”), angelic ballads (the supreme “Perfect Girl,” “I Don’t Know What I Should Do”) and smooth sailers (“Lucky Man,” “Uprising”). Additionally, Sullivant’s airy tenor compliments his songwriting well, bringing a lightness to his subject matter: religion, marriage, fatherhood. Dark Horse is Kuroma’s most eloquently executed record to date. By allowing each song to simmer, piecing together the best takes from demos and tracking sessions and finding the perfect mix, the band energetically made a personal statement universal, giving plenty of reason why the group should be more than a blip on the radar going forward.

Athens Academy · 5–7 p.m. · FREE! Lisa Freeman’s latest creations are delicate assemblages of found materials densely detailed with historical references and symbols. On view in “Vapors (Lost and Forgotten),” many of the works serve as tiny homages to some of the world’s darkest moments, including the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, the Night of Broken Glass and the Palestinian exodus Al-Nakba. The reception will also share works by members of the Athens Fibercraft Guild and Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation. Additional pieces by Freeman can be found at three other destinations: “Tiny Universe” at the Gallery@ Hotel Indigo, the second annual “Juried Exhibition” at ATHICA, and “Georgia Small Works” at OCAF. [Jessica Smith]
Caledonia Lounge · 8 p.m. · $15–17 Nashville native Kandace Springs was immersed in the music industry from a young age, and her original material occasionally comes off as overly cautious. But it largely succeeds on the strength of her rich singing voice, which inspired Prince Rogers Nelson to invite Springs to join his Purple Rain 30th-anniversary concert in 2014. That break landed the young singer on famed label Blue Note, which released her debut full-length, Soul Eyes—a light-hearted amalgam of jazz, pop, soul and R&B—earlier this year. Songs like the title track and “Too Good to Last,” both of which feature trumpeter Terence Blanchard, prove that Springs is at her strongest in sultry jazz-singer mode. [Gabe Vodicka]
Ciné · 6–8 pm. · FREE! “Once more foundered on this delightful shore,” a new series of paintings by local artist Benjamin Britton, explores the balance between abstraction and representational allegory. Pulling inspiration from memory, fantasy, identity and mythology, the artist often reworks textile patterns and details of specific settings into ambiguous narratives presented through a rich color palette and mash-up of techniques. Currently an assistant professor of painting and drawing at the Lamar Dodd School of Art, Britton has a BFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York, and a MFA in painting from the University of California, Los Angeles. His paintings will remain on view through Sunday, Nov. 6. [JS]
40 Watt Club · 8 p.m. · $10 One of Athens’ most influential former residents returns to town Saturday evening to give folks a taste of her longawaited upcoming solo album. Wilson, a founding member of the B-52s, teased the new record earlier this year by releasing a two-minute YouTube trailer. Where her B-52s bandmate Kate Pierson’s firstever solo effort, last year’s Guitars and Microphones, was mostly a funky-fresh ode to her new wave past, Wilson’s current work appears to touch compellingly on skittish electronics and sun-dappled psychedelia. Past and present are well represented on Saturday’s 40 Watt lineup, which also features the Pylon Reenactment Society led by Vanessa Briscoe Hay and Monsoon. [GV]
