Last night, while this issue was run-ning through the presses, PilarWilder and crew started practicing

for the 7th annual Thriller Parade. Sevenyears ago, we called Anita Ponder, whohelped have a couple of police on hand,and over 100 dancers ran out into the mid-dle of Cherry Street at Third and recreat-ed Michael Jackson’s Thriller dance. Wedidn’t ask permission, didn’t pay any fees,and we made quite the impression.

The next year, when we decided todo it again, we were required to payeveryone and their mother to do it. Offduty police officers make 25 bucks anhour, you have to pay to close the street,and for sound, and DJ’s and after thatsecond year, we were about ready to callit quits. But Downtown Macon wouldn’tallow that. Once October 1 gets here,our phone rings off the hook with peoplelooking to become zombies for a fewminutes. So we’ve continued to do it,and with the help of Pilar and HayiyaDance Theatre, it’s gotten bigger andbigger each year. Last year, over 2500spectators were packed into CherryStreet Plaza in front of the TerminalStation to watch the event. We know it’sdifficult to see, and we’ve searched theworld over for bleachers. The City of

Macon will not allow us to use theirs,and renting them for a 3-hour event isn’tfeasible for a small company like us. Ifyou want a good seat, you’re just goingto have to get there early, and if not, justbeing a part of the chaos is pretty excit-ing. If you’d like to be a dancer, prac-tice is very important. We don’t want noscrubs. So be at Tattnall Square Parkevery Thursday at 7p.m., or theCentenary Common Room if it’s raining.There, Ms. Pilar will teach you all youever wanted to know about dancing likethe King of Pop. I’ll be the one in thecorner pressing play.

CROSSROADSWRITERSCONFERENCE

Crossroads grew out of a conversationbetween some friends who wanted to build onthe literary and creative legacy of Macon. Inthe fall of 2008, with the help of several volun-teers and great organizations, Chris Horne andDrs. Heather Braun, Kelly Whiddon andMonica Young-Zook launched the firstCrossroads Writers Conference in downtownMacon. In a stroke of luck, they’d invited nov-elist Ad Hudler, who really helped establish theconference its fun, loose, communal vibe.

Over the past four years, the conferencehas been proud to bring hundreds of writerstogether to learn from the likes of SteveAlmond, Rick Moody, Joshilyn Jackson, JayParini, Judith Ortiz-Cofer, Carlo Rotella, GailSimone, Idris Goodwin, Tina McElroy-Ansa,Adam Davies, Lauretta Hannon, and severalothers. Not to mention all the talented writersfrom the metro Macon area who’ve giventheir time to making this conference happen.

While the conference hosts regionalauthors, wonderful workshops and readings,the organizers are also very involved in ourcommunity. In 2011, Crossroads received aKnight Neighborhood Challenge grant toreplace broken sidewalks in the College Hillarea with new sidewalks adorned with poetry,lyrics, history, quotes and other literature relat-ed to Macon. It’s called Sidewalk Stories andthey’re still taking nominations for the side-

walks to replace and the stories with which toreplace them.

This spring, Crossroads donated 100copies of “Project Dreams,” a children’s bookby local author Rhonda Singletary, to a litera-cy event held by Mercer University.

This year, the Conference starts onFriday, October 5th, with open registration forevents from noon - 3pm for their FreelancersSummit, featuring topics on MagazineWriting, Writing for the Web and Turningyour Stories into Books. On Saturday, registra-tion is from 7:30am to noon. At noon lunchand learn with Keynote speaker Chris Baty,founder of NaNoWriMo, author of “No Plot?No Problem!” Other notable authors includeAdam Mansbach, author of “Go the F*** toSleep,” and “Angry Black White Boy,”Delilah Dawson, author of “Wicked as TheyCome,” Bernice McFadden, author of“Gathering the Waters,” and Robert Venditti,creator of “Surrogates.”

On Sunday, enjoy a WordsmithBrunchfest from 10:30 to noon, and Book Fairand book signings from many of the weekendsauthors from noon - 4pm. To register for indi-vidual sessions, or weekend packages, visitCrossroadswriters.org. Individial sessions $20each, Talk blocks start at $45 and weekendpackages start at $135. All events at theMacon Centreplex and Macon Marriott Hotel.

It’s time for residents and visitors alike to welcome fall on shady Riverdale Drive inMacon, as the Jazz Association of Macon presents its ninth annual Jazz & Arts onRiverdale event Sat., Oct. 20, from Noon to 6pm.

These represent only a portion of the work Macon ArtsAlliance does to promote the creative industries in CentralGeorgia, but as you can tell, we stay pretty busy.

Taste of the Arts: A Red Carpet Affair will be held at thebeautiful and historic Terminal Station in downtown onOctober 26 at 7 p.m. This gala benefit will feature celebritychefs from area arts and cultural organizations competing forBest Sweet, Best Savory and Best Decorated table. Celebrityjudges from local media will be on hand to name the winners.Of course, no fundraiser would be complete without a silentauction featuring original art, tickets to local and regionalevents, incredible prize packages and more. Expect a varietyof delicious food and spirits as you move through theTerminal Station during this upscale “affair.”

palpable, the fun really begins outside on the red carpet lead-ing to the event. Dress in your best cocktail attire and preparefor the star treatment.

It’s been said this annual tour “puts a human face onhistory and touches the heart with stories yet untold.” Thisyear is no exception, with seven new stories told by 10never-before-seen spirits.

Two of my favorites on this year’s tour include “Pop”Walden and Mary Evans Glass, who were instrumental inshaping key elements of my life – one in the 1950s, rearingsons Phil and Alan, who would break down barriers to helpshape Macon’s tourism future, the worldwide music indus-try and on a personal level my role as a partner in RockCandy Tours; the other a hundred years earlier, founding thesisterhood I cherish and the very first Greek organizationfor women, Alpha Delta Pi, right here in Macon atWesleyan College.

Ten spirits this year, each triple cast with local actors,represent “Incredible Firsts" to have come from our amaz-ing city. They range from the poignant story performed byLouise Warren as the cemetery’s first resident, TallulahBelle Woodall, an orphan who grew up and later worked atthe Methodist Home for Children before dying of "the con-sumption" at 28, to Liz Fabian as Helen Sophia ShawHarrold, the momentous first woman elected to Macon CityCouncil the first year women got the vote; to 1920s eraMacon Mayor Luther Williams. Portrayed by retired JudgeWilliam Self, the popular three-term mayor is featured inconversation with Harold Goodridge, portraying the spiritof Jackie Robinson, who not only broke the nation's base-ball color barrier, but also the state's as the first AfricanAmerican to play professional baseball in Georgia - atMacon's Luther Williams Field in 1949.

Spirits is the only historical tour in central Georgia tooffer a glimpse of the past complete with costumed actorsstanding graveside portraying historic figures, most ofwhom are buried at the125-year-old cemetery. And while Ilove a good scare as much as the next (yes, I will be attend-ing NewTown’s Underworld Haunted House, also thismonth), Spirits in October is not a ghost tour. It’s aboutcool people and the roles they played in making Maconwhat it is today. It’s about history more than haints.

As College Hill Alliance Director ofCommunications and Outreach Nadia Osman, whohas guided or acted in Spirits three of its four pre-vious years, says, “It’s about entertainment asmuch as it is history. It’s fun!” This year, you cancatch Nadia as one of the three actors portrayingMary Evans Glass. Incidentally, Pop Walden willbe brought to life by two Spirits newcomers, veter-an actors Chuck Clark and Bartow Irby.

Other “Incredible Firsts” represented this yearinclude: Jessica Walden as Hazel Jane Raines,Georgia's First Lady of Flight; Stuart Spears and JasonBrumbelow in the roles of brother photographersJoseph B. and Cecil R. Coke, Sr., who photo-docu-mented Ocmulgee’s archaeological dig at Georgia'sfirst National Monument and opened Macon's firstcamera shop, and Matt Fabian as Dr. Charles C.Harrold, who pioneered local healthcare for the city’s poor.

"Spirits is like a time machine to a Macon I have neverexperienced, but feel such kinship with through the storiesof residents past,” says Rock Candy Tours Co-founderJessica Walden. “As Hazel Raines this year, I get to go backin time with my grandfather Pop who passed away before Iwas born. Spirits in October provides such an emotionalconnection to history – and to the heritage we all share."

Presented by the Historic Riverside CemeteryConservancy, the one-hour guided walking tours of Macon'slongest running active cemetery will begin at 6pm,Thursday-Saturday nights, departing from the cemetery'sGatehouse every 15 minutes until the last one at 9pm. Thefinal day, Sunday, Oct. 28, you can catch the tour from 4-7pm (last tour at 6). Back this year, the tour's final stop willbe a visit inside the beautiful Macon Public Mausoleum,where area alumnae of Alpha Delta Pi Sorority will serve

light refreshments among exhibits about this year’s spiritsand cemetery history.

Cost is $20/person with the following discounts:$18/senior or military; $10/student 10 & up; free for chil-dren under 10. Group rates are available. Tickets are on salenow at www.riversidecemeteryconservancy.org or by call-ing Mercer Ticket Sales, 478-301-5470.

Spirits in October is the primary annual event offeredby the 501(c)(3) non-profit Historic Riverside CemeteryConservancy, whose mission is to preserve and promote the19th century cemetery's importance in the fabric of Macon'shistory. Tour fees will be used, along with other fundraisinginitiatives, to fund research and the development of thecemetery's upcoming Master Plan which will serve as aroad map to the active historic cemetery's long term preser-vation and contribution to the immediate area, contiguousneighborhoods and the entire community.

Halloween thrill seekers, there areseveral options available to satisfyyour thirst for scary haunts.


You may remember about six months agoStefan Ritter, an assistant to Attorney GeneralSam Olens, came to Macon to ‘educate’ theBibb County School District in how theyshould respond to open records requests. As Irecall during the meeting, which by the waywas prompted by several complaints frommyself, Darren Latch and many other con-cerned citizens as well as The MaconTelegraph, only a couple of the Bibb CountySchool Board showed up, one of which wasBoard Member Tom Hudson, who told theaudience that the reason for the session was“quite contrary to what may have been said inthe media,” and that “it’s better to prevent thandeal with (problems) after the fact.”

Now I can honestly say that the systemHAD been doing much better in the communi-cations and supplying of records that I haverequested since then…That was up until July18th, going on three months ago.

It was around that same time that our goodfriends at McGladrey came forward with alle-gations that Board Members Gary Bechtel andSusan Sipe had sent “inappropriate emails” thatthey had found during a forensic audit of thesystem. Upon hearing this all the red flagsstarted popping up in my mind, so I requestedall emails from Board Members SusanMiddleton and Tom Hudson. (I got theMiddleton emails within the time period givento me by the Board’s attorney Randy Howard,so I have no beef with that, and found severalthings that should have been found during theaudit such as her pushing for the hiring of thecurrent Principal of Alexander II, which is a bigno-no. There’s not enough space in this columnto dig into that saga, so stay tuned.) A funnything has happened about the Tom Hudsonemails, however. Absolutelynothing….Nothing, coming after numerousemails and conversations with the aforemen-tioned Board Attorney Randy Howard.

I want to say that I have a lot of respect forMr. Howard. He’s a good guy. He’s also in areally bad position of having to defend anadministration that is filled with corruption andincompetence. That being said, I received acall from Randy yesterday, again telling me thatthere is another delay in getting the emails ofthe slippery and elusive Tom Hudson. Thedelay now is “technical issues”.

Readers may now also recall that the tech-nology department is now being headed by for-mer City of Macon technology director ThomasTourand. You remember Tourand don’t you?He’s the one that his former boss ThomasThomas painted so glowingly in a reprimandfrom 2009 in which Tourand was basically fired.Thomas stated that Tourand had been “missingproject deadlines, not ordering computers ontime, lacking a plan for computer replacement inthe next budget cycle." Is it any wonder thatsimple emails can’t be pulled up? Or is that allto the story? Me thinks not. While Tourand hasalready proven to be less than competent, I don’tthink this is solely his fault, although I’m sure agood portion is. I do however feel that there ismore to this than meets the eye.

One of the questions that I asked Mr.Howard yesterday was this: If ALL of the

emails had been subject to the forensic audit asMcGladrey and Superintendent Dallemandhave stated, why aren’t these readily available?I mean after all, taxpayers have spent over$400,000 for this audit. (I should have fol-lowed up with: “Hadn’t they already been scru-tinized by the “crack” auditing of DebraThompson, who overlooked several infractionsby Middleton as well as the formation of aNational Association of Black StudentEducators using school resources and person-nel?, but I let him off the hook.”)

Here is the real question, though: What arein these emails that the District doesn’t want meto find? Or is Tom Hudson that powerfulbehind the scenes that he is squashing myrequest like a bug? Maybe they don’t want meto see that there is a possible connectionbetween Hudson and the Smith Brothers,Terrell and Terrance...Terrell is the system’sHearing Officer and Terrance being the DistrictCoordinator of Parent Education at “Shangi-La”…errr…The Welcome Center. It seems thatTerrance lives on the same street as Hudson andformer interim Superintendent Sylvia McGee.Makes you wonder, huh?

The Hudson Open Records Request isn’tthe only one that has gone haywire. I also haverequested any and all information regarding anew Captain’s position that was created withinthe Campus Police. Here’s the funny thingabout the position: Former Interim ChiefStephanie Prater had no idea the position wasbeing created with the gentleman getting theposition being none other than Title I DirectorLori Rodgers husband? It gets better….Mrs.Rodgers was Board Member Wanda West’sCampaign Manager….As for my request forinformation…I was told nothing exists….Ohwhat a tangled web we weave…Shakespearehimself couldn’t come up with this kind ofdrama. The tragic ending in our play here inBibb County is the ‘education’ supposedlygiven to our children by an administation whois only looking forward to their next assign-ment, who is being aided by several boardmembers whose only concern is how they lookand how they can get reelected.

To the Editors:I just finished reading David Oedel’s letter dated 9-16-2012 in The Telegraphabout discipline in the Bibb county school system. As the coroner of BibbCounty, I consider myself to be a leader in the community. I do not getinvolved in name calling and controversy. I speak regularly to schools,church-es and civic groups. I talk about respect,hard work, character and manners.Yes sir, no sir and yes mam and no mam and pull your pants up.

If Mr Oedel had taken the time to ask anyone in the school system aboutme they would have told him that I go to the schools and speak to the stu-dents and wear a Bibb county jail uniform to let them know what happenswhen you make bad choices.

I am concerned about the school system and I will continue to do mypart as a leader and public servant to set the right example for our children. IfMr. Oedell would like to come by my office, I have documentation where Ihave spoken to over 250 groups since I took office 2005. I am also a productof a single parent household and of the Bibb county public schools.

11th Hour readers will recall my columnabout Workforce Development andtheir refusal to reimburse the City the

full costs borne by us for serving as their fis-cal agent. Taxpayers are subsidizing thatoffice to the tune of thousands of dollars, yetthe City has absolutely no oversight orreview over their finances even though wecurrently hold 100% of the liability for anyfunds they mis-spend or mis-report.

Council President James Timleyrecently authored legislation to end our fis-cal ties with Workforce as they haverepeatedly broken our written agreement;additionally, only the legislature can legal-ly waive the city’s sovereign immunity yetour mutual agreement ensures that weassume full liability for the actions of theWorkforce Investment Board. WhenTimley’s legislation came before theCommunity Resources Committee, ElaineLucas made the motion to place it on thefloor for discussion. The other four mem-bers – Chairman Lauren Benedict, LarrySchlesinger, Nancy White, and Rev.Charles Jones - sat mute. Without a second,the motion was not even open for discus-sion. We can only imagine what their reac-tion would have been if the organization inquestion had not been one highly favoredby the administration. Evidently fiscalresponsibility is a terribly relative term.

Now comes the appalling news that theCity will be on the hook for even largercosts! I suppose if you can secure blankchecks it’s difficult not to write them forever-higher amounts. During the past yearWorkforce incorporated itself as a privatenon-profit organization (even though theystill plan to leave the City with their legalliability; Bibb County has so far refused toassume one-half leaving the City with it all).We’ve just been informed that all thoseincorporation and development costs are notallowable as reimbursable from federal andstate grants and thus the City is going to beexpected to pay the bill. Remember, too, thatthere was no agreement by the City beforethe costs were incurred, nor has there beenany attempt to satisfy the City’s requirementthat contracts of this sort be competitivelybid and fully vetted by Council. Wouldn’t itbe nice to have a Santa Claus to whom youcould forward the bills for your shoppingspree, even if kindly old Saint Nick didn’tgive you permission and, in fact, didn’t evenknow you were going shopping?

This precedent gives me a great idea.I’m a big fan of Bragg Jam and the wonder-ful job their volunteers do every year inplanning and implementing a successful andentertaining weekend. None of them arepaid and all the net proceeds – more than$110,000 so far - go toward maintenance

and expansion of the Ocmulgee GreenwayTrail. Each year the City’s Public WorksDepartment and Police Department bill BraggJam for all their overtime costs for keepingpeace and cleaning up the venues afterwards.Why not just have the board pay only a frac-tion of that bill when it’s sent to them? If theinvoice is for $30,000, have them offer to payonly $15,000 or so since it’s inconvenient topay more. Then, let’s have Bragg Jam sepa-rately incorporate an organization tasked onlywith fundraising on their behalf. Don’t worryabout the legal fees and staff time; send thatunauthorized bill to the City for payment. Justthink of all the extra money that would allowBragg Jam to donate!

Here’s the problem with that scenario –the volunteer board at Bragg Jam would neverbe that arrogant. They are far too professionaland they realize their actions have conse-quences; you won’t find the Bragg Jam boardexpecting the City to bail them out of any finan-cial morass. If only the board and staff ofWorkforce were as professional and competent.

It’s easy to see that elections areapproaching. All the sudden grand-standingand political posturing are sure signs of bud-ding candidacies. If you wonder whetheryour Councilmember or CountyCommissioner plans to run for next year’snewly-consolidated government, try watch-ing for increased name mentions in the

Telegraph and sudden flurries of legislationfrom those who have rarely bothered sincethe last election.

There’s credible talk of a popularRepublican former elected official whomight enter the Mayor’s race – as aDemocrat. Obviously that would draw votesaway from a Reichert candidacy, but onenegative possibility might be in helping toenable a Jack Ellis victory as a result. Mostpeople agree a run-off will be necessary withso many candidates, so the challenge will bein ensuring a second voter turn-out and uni-fying the supporters of those candidates whoare eliminated in the first round.

The death of Frank Amerson, one ofthe giants of local development, opens uphis powerful position as Chairman of theMacon Water Authority. I’ve already heardrumors of possible entry into that race byCliffard Whitby, Chairman of the Macon-Bibb Industrial Authority, and HerbertDennard, owner of the Georgia Informer aswell as a former elected member of theMWA. Meanwhile there is talk of a game ofmusical chairs as some elected officialslook at changing positions to a different(and perhaps more electable) post. So muchdepends on what others do that it all resem-bles nothing so much as an entertaininggame of dominoes.

20 OCTOBER 4 - 19, 2012

THESCENE

We had a few fans send questions in,and personally I hate this question,but I don’t know the answer to it soI’m going to ask it. Tell me about thefirst time you picked up a guitar. WARREN: First time I picked up a guitar. Iwas 11 years old, my oldest brother had anacoustic guitar, and I ended up playing itmore than he did. And when I was 12 mydad bought me my own. I grew up in a musi-cal family in the way that everybody lovedmusic. My dad had a beautiful voice andloved to sing, so there was always music play-ing in our house.

Tell me what you think of MaconGeorgia. Obviously, you have somestrong connections here. Tell me aboutthe first time you remember cominghere. WARREN: I’m not sure what it is aboutcertain cities that make so many amazingartists and musicians. Macon is one of thosecities. I’m such a huge fan of Little Richardand Otis Redding, and obviously, the AllmanBrothers. The history is so strong, musicallyspeaking. The first time I came there, Govt.Mule came and had our picture taken in frontof what used to be Ms. Ann’s Tic Toc, the clubthat Little Richard used to play at. We had ourpicture taken walking across Otis ReddingMemorial Bridge. But that wasn’t the first timeI came there I guess, that was the first time

Govt Mule came there together. I was therefor the first time in 1980 and the first thing Idid was visit Duane and Barry’s graves. It’shard to say what makes certain regions pro-duce great music, but Georgia in general,when you look at Ray Charles being fromAlbany, and James Brown being fromAugusta, you are talking about the greatestsingers of all times being from that area. It’sreally quite amazing. I don’t know what Iwas expecting when I first came to Macon. It’sjust a small town like any other small town,but there is a certain vibe coming from thatarea, and it has to come from that music.

You and I are both in a video that theConvention and Visitors Center usedto introduce Macon to people. I remem-ber doing that.

Well, you and I are talking back toback about how so many great artistscame from here. And I’m telling astory about Little Richard. I doubtyou’ve ever saw the video. I don’tbelieve I have, but I’d love to hear it.

I was interviewing Billy Joe Shaverone time, and he’d just met littleRichard and asked him about Macon.Little Richard told him that he used towash dishes at the Greyhound Bus

WARREN HAYNESWe all know who Warren Haynes is around these parts. The vocalist and songwriter best known for hiswork as longtime guitarist with The Allman Brothers Band and as founding member of the jam bandGov't Mule. This guy has done it all, early in his career he was a guitarist for David Allan Coe and TheDickey Betts Band. Haynes also is known for his associations with the remaining members of TheGrateful Dead, including touring with Phil Lesh and Friends and The Dead. How does a guitaristaccomplish any more than Haynes? Really, they just don’t. Brad Evans caught up with Warren at hishome and got to ask some fan questions and some of his own.

Station. He said that he based all the rhythms in his music on thesounds of the trains that came by his window. Billy Joe said,“Sometimes folks think there is something in the water, but inMacon, maybe it was something on those trains.” Wow, that’s great.A lot of that is the product of the great black gospel music that came out of thechurches there as well.

Another fan question from Adam Macintyre….You’ve continued togrow as a songwriter and a guitarist throughout your career.What do you find yourself pushing for, and what roots to youhold close to these days? As a songwriter, I’ve tried to explore territory that I’ve never explored before.This is something that gets harder and harder. Whether it’s from a chordalstandpoint, or from a melody standpoint, or a lyrical standpoint, you get toplaces where you have already touched on that and want to go somewhereelse. So that challenge is always there. As far as roots, when I listen to music,more often than not I’m listening to older music. Soul, Folk Jazz, Rock. It’s justhard to compete with the greatest music of all time. When I get saturated listen-ing to the music of today, I always go back to Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin,Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Coltrane and Miles Davis, and stuff that is always, tome, timeless. But that’s inspiration. You have to study on what makes that time-less. What about it makes us want to hear it all these years later? To me, really,it’s the honesty, the direct path between the artist and the listener. There is nopretention; it’s just real music. That’s what I strive to make. Real Music.

Does that kind of honesty exist in today’s popular music?In the mainstream? Music today has divided itself between the MTV andAmerican Idol side and the more independent people having to work harderand make it on their own side. That’s good and bad. On the mainstream side,it’s harder to have that kind of honesty. Even when someone starts out that way,the forces that be will try and push it in a popular direction. One of my biggestcomplaints, about society in general today, especially on the arts and musicside, is that you take something great, that appeals to x amount of people, andthe folks behind it want to change it so it appeals to more people. By changingit, it appeals less to the original people that loved it. The artistic part of it kindof goes out the window.

You’ve played with so many great bands over the years. Anyoneyou would love to work with that you haven’t had the chance to. I’m really fortunate that on this huge list of people that I grew up listening to,I’ve pretty much been able to work with all of them in some capacity.

Does it seem surreal to you. Obviously you didn’t just wake upas one of the greatest guitar players in the world. I know it wasa long road that took a lot of work. But does it ever feel like it’sjust not real when you are standing on stage with someone yougrew up idolizing? Absolutely it does. I feel like Forest Gump sometimes. How the hell did I end uphere, you know. Including the first time I played with the Allman Brothers, whichwas so surreal I can’t explain it. But having played with so many people thatI’ve grown up listening to, it’s not as weird to me as it was 20 years ago, butit’s still exciting. I still pinch myself every now and then and think, “Is this reallyhappening, or am I making this up?”

I know there are few Red Dog stories that can be told out loud.But his stepson sent in a question, and I figured that if you hadone you’d like to share, he’d appreciate it. Hell, I have a whole book of Red Dog stories. Unfortunately, I can’t tell any ofthem. He’s one of the funniest people I have ever been around and one of themost unique people, and with the company I’ve kept that’s saying a lot. Most ofthe stories I’d like to tell, I probably shouldn’t, so let’s just say I loved the man,and I cherished his friendship.

“...It’s hard to say what makes certainregions produce great music, but

Georgia in general, when you look at RayCharles being from Albany, and James

Brown being from Augusta, you are talk-ing about the greatest singers of all time

being from that area. It’s really quiteamazing. I don’t know what I was

expecting when I first came to Macon.It’s just a small town like any other

small town, but there is a certain vibecoming from that area, and it has to

come from that music.”

Program coordinator for the Cherry BlossomFestival. Maconite of 14 years,

SEAN PRITCHARDis a transplant from Texas. He graduated fromMount deSales, is very single, moonlights as a

writer for the 11th Hour and an editor of theblueindian.com. He’s an active supporter ofdowntown Macon, and has been involved with

music management for 6 years. He enjoyswhiskey, burgers, guitars, slacks, guns, stouts,

women with long legs, avacados, BruceSpringsteen, and reading. And

now look at him. His picture is in the paper. Andthese are a few of his favorite things...

Antique Turquoise Armchair - Saw this sitting out-side a house with a few other things on Houston Avenueand pulled my car over and asked the guy how muchhe was selling it for. I wound up getting it for $15!

Oil Paintings - Ben Dunn & Carl Phillips are twoartists from Macon that I've gotten to know over theyears. Both incredibly nice people and very differentstyles of work.

Epiphone Masterbuilt - If you squint hard, you cansee Kid Rock's signature. Yes, that Kid Rock, the WaffleHouse fight-starting redneck who made a decent songfrom the 70's awful. It's a long story..

.35 Remington Shell - Last year, I went deer huntingfor the first time. I was in Wilkinson County at a clubwith my brother and got the kill right around dusk. Iused a Marlin 336, one of his guns. Can't wait till sea-son starts this year.

8" J.A. Henkels Santuko - I bought this knife as aChristmas present for myself maybe ten years ago and Ilove it. A sharp knife is the handiest tool you can havein the kitchen.

"Butterfly Parrot" - My brother Jordan gave this tome when he returned from working in Africa for a year.It's made completely out of wings from butterflies thatkids in the villages catch.

CD Stand - My brother Andy has been making furni-ture for years and one day decided to try my hand at it.This was the first piece that I made without his help.

Fall is upon us, finally. I was onthe way home from Cincinnatilast weekend and Kentucky and

Tennessee are already turning shades oforange and yellow, so it shouldn’t be tolong before the trees here start to turnand everyone begins to freak out about“how cold it is”. Just in time for the sea-son, Chad Evans and Wes Griffith ofthe Rookery are opening their neweatery, Dovetail, located directly abovetheir current restaurant on Cherry St.Without giving too much away, thenewest addition to the short list of fine-dining establishments in Macon fea-tures a classic, but rustic interior unlikeanything I’ve seen in town, an accom-modatingly large bar area, and a menuthat’s going to surely claim a few regu-lars from Marco, Natalia’s and the like.They’re currently taking reservationsfor the opening weekend startingThursday, October 25th but Tim’s saidthey’re filling up fast so call them orstop by and get one while you can.

It’s the closing weekend for theMercer University student-producedversion of Shakespeare’s The Merchantof Venice; so if you’re interested, stop byWillingham Hall’s Back Door Theatre.Tickets are $5.00 for students, $7.00 forthe general public, or one pound of fleshfor groups of five or more.

One of the most sensationalblues/soul groups currently touring willbe making a rare stop at the CoxCapitol Theatre this weekend (October5th) for a show you should not miss.The Lee Boys play a style of musicmost commonly known as “SacredSteel”, that’s part gospel, part funk, andpart searing blues. More notably, theChicago Sun-Times has compared theband to Jimi Hendrix, saying: “The LeeBoys, whose Church of God-inspiredsacred steel music may be what JimiHendrix had in mind with his great planfor ‘electric sky church music’”.Tickets are available at coxcapitolthe-atre.com or at the box office duringtheir business hours. On a side note, ifyou’ve been to Wanee Music Festivalover the past few years, there’s a verygood chance you seen pedal steel-play-er Roosevelt making his rounds fromstage to stage to sit in with everyonefrom Trey Anastasio to MMW.

If you’rein the moodfor somec o u n t r ymusic, funnelcakes, andfair rides, theG e o r g i aN a t i o n a lFair opensthe firstweekend inOctober withtheir firsth e a d l i n i n gconcert takingplace onSaturday the6th in thearena on-sitein Perry. Popcountry starsK e l l i ePickler andJoe Nicholstake the stageon the 6th,with HotChelle Rae and Allstar Weekend treatingthe crowds the following weekend. Thefair has been one of a statewide highlightfor twenty-two years, bringing togetherresidents from all around Georgia foreleven days of artwork, crafts, livemusic, livestock, and local business.

Also starting the first weekend ofthe month, the Young Patrons ofHistoric Macon will begin hostingtheir weeklong Idea House Tours in arecently rehabilitated home in theBeall’s Hill area that has been decorat-ed by a group of young interior design-ers and decorators. The tours will rununtil the 14th and if you’re interested,stop by Historic Macon or visit theirwebsite for more information

The following weekend is one thata lot of Middle Georgian’s have beenwaiting for since this time last year.Country star Luke Bryan isbringinghis Farm Tour back to Macon for thefinal tour date (October 13th) and islooking to top his sold-out show fromlast year. The show has been moved outof Luther Williams Stadium and intoCentral City Park to accommodate alarger crowd. I’ve never tailgated any

event before and I can’t wait to makethis my first one. Bryan, a graduate ofGeorgia Southern, is currently one ofthe best-selling artists of the past fewyears and has been highly active in pro-moting awareness of small farmers andcommunity education.

If country isn’t your thing, theMacon Symphony Orchestra andtheir new director, Ward Stare, arespending an evening running throughfavorites from the Fantasia films. TheFantasia films are American classicsthat people of all ages are familiar withand the concert will be a perfect eventfor anyone familiar with the Disney cat-alogue. maconsymphony.com

The schedule for happeningsaround Macon the next few months isgrowing fuller and fuller by the day, soif you haven’t, make sure that you takea few minutes and follow the differentgroups around Macon that are promot-ing community activism; The 11thHour, I Love Macon, College HillCorridor, and all the news outlets. Untilthe next issue, stay dry, stay warm, andstay local!

When The Lee Boysbring their joyous spiritual sound to thestage, audiences instantly recognize thatthis is not “sitting and listening” music:dancing, shouting out, and having fun areconsidered essential parts of their tradi-tion. Their unique sound has attractedmusical artists such as Bob Weir of theGrateful Dead, The Allman Brothers Band,The Black Crowes, Gov’t Mule, DerekTrucks Band w/ Susan Tedeschi, TheNorth Mississippi Allstars, – all of whomhave played with the Lee Boys and/orinvited them to tour with them.

Southern Persuasion @ Hud’sThis Country and Classic Rock band doesa little bit of everything. From originals tocover songs, Southern Persuasion is agreat band to listen to, and an even betterband to get up and dance to. If youhaven’t been to Huds on Gray hwy, checkit out.

Also playing Billy’sClubhouse on Thursday, 10/11.

Stereomonster @ The BirdStereomonster was formed after somenuclear testing on an island in the Pacificduring the 80's. Due to massive amountsof radiation an abandoned stereo trans-formed and divided into 4 living organ-

isms. Scientists would later call theseorganisms "G Star" "Snare Jordan" "B EZ" and "ZaYo." Dumbest Band bio ever.But these fellows play Radiohead, TheKillers, Rage Against the Machine,Outkast, Jay-Z and more.

THURSDAY, 10/11Jordan Rager @ Wild Wing CafeThis Fellow was on Team Blake duringSeason Two of the Voice, so excpect abig impact from this country boy. HEplays oriinals and covers and will blowyou away.

FRIDAY, 10/12Modern Skirts @ The BirdAthens, GA's Modern Skirts crept ontothe scene in 2005 with its debut record,'Catalogue of Generous Men'. The recordreceived some good reviews, finding itselfat #11 on Paste Magazines' Records of2005, and several unwanted comparisons(mostly to Ben Folds {don't use lots ofpiano on your band's next record}). With anew sound, and a new record, go seethese talented guys, they put on a greatshow and their music is catchy & fun.

A few years back, I wasworking with my oldestbrother at his contractingcompany. I was tired ofthe other jobs I had held,I wanted to do somethingwith my hands, and I fig-ured this was as close toworking in the "familybusiness" as I was goingto get. We spent a lot oftime driving between jobsin his truck and becauseof that, we were listeningto 99.1 at least a fewhours every day. I quicklydeveloped my somewhat

ironic love affair with country music and now my radio doesn'tleave WDEN when I'm in my car (I have an older car, no CD play-er). I'm a fan of all kinds of country, from the classics of WilliamsSr. and Waylon Jennings, to that awkwardly awesome period in the

80's and 90's, to even the full blown auto-tuned, how-can-you-call-this-country country. I love a good pop song and that's just about allcountry music is these days.

That's why I was thrilled when I was asked to cover theupcoming Luke Bryan Farm Tour 2012 concert that's taking placeon the mid-way in Central City Park on October 13th. Last year, theevent sold-out at Luther Williams Stadium and it's set to be biggerand better this time around. The idea for the “Farm Tour” concertscame from Bryan as a way to give back to local farming communi-ties by celebrating and lifting up the American Farmer and offeringa fun escape with the outdoor shows. Proceeds from the concertswill go to a scholarship for a student from a farming family attend-ing a local college. Bryan is actually one of only three countrymusicians to have three consecutive, Platinum-selling tracks on analbum, joined only by Taylor Swift and Jason Aldean. I'll be therebright and early, tail-gating and practicing my country slang and Ihope you'll stop by. Tickets available online www.lukebryan.com,$30 general admission. Chairs and blankets allowed. No backpacksor coolers. Tailgating starts at 2pm, gates opens at 5pm and showwill start at 7pm. Macon is the last stop on the Tour, and this showis sure to sell out! - SEAN PRITCHARD

COUNTRY SUPERSTAR LUKE BRYAN IS BACK AT CENTRAL CITY PARK - OCTOBER 13THFeaturing: Rhett Akins and Dallas Davidson, Chancie Neal, and Cole Swindell

30 OCTOBER 4 - 19, 2012

In the months before their deaths, relatives say Mildred and Jewel Clevelandhad struggled living in the same house with Mildred's grown son, JasonHoward. Jobless and socially withdrawn, Howard was a disturbed man who

had been committed to a mental institution for schizophrenia following his arrestfor robbing a bank. Although his mother thought that Howard could be rehabil-itated and insisted that he live with them, relatives say her husband, Jewel, was-n't so sure. Police think that after killing and burying the Clevelands, JasonHoward continued to live in the house. He paid bills, cared for the family pets,and even took a trip to the family's vacation home. With the aid of cadaver dogs,Liberty County police found the bodies of Jewel and Mildred Clevelandwrapped in tarps and buried in a barn on June 15, 2004. An autopsy later con-firmed that both had been shot in the head and that Mildred had been beatenfirst. In his own words from a November 1994 note, Howard explained:

Let it be known that I, Jason M. Howard, can be extremely paranoid, therefore as a fugitive I willnot only be carrying firearms but explosives as well...I'm not dangerous until I am crossed or cornered,so stay away. Keep away and don't blame me for a dead tactical team. Only yourselves to blame.

For the next several years, Howard would live in the woods in Macon Georgia, in a camp he con-structed out of camouflage tarps and tents and everything else he could find. He was featured onAmerica’s Most Wanted during those years, though he would elude arrest until 2009, when Macon Policefound him breaking into a rental car. Some months later, a friend of the 11th Hour, and a cross countryrunner, came across Howard’s camp in the woods. In it three journals were found. What follows is apage of one of these journals, the first in a series of pages that look inside the head of a suspected killer.
