Automobiles have a hard timefinding safety on the streets ofMacon. A couple of good

friends of mine just got their windowssmashed so thieves could walk awaywith some of their favorite things.This is something that happens often,something that happens all over town,and the stuff is rarely ever found.Since moving to Macon, my car hasbeen broken into six times. ThankfullySan Francisco taught me to never leaveanything in my car. I also have had onecar stolen which has never been found,and another friend of mine was actuallyrun over at a gas station by someonestealing his car. I have many friendswho’ve taken to just leaving their doorsunlocked, and making sure their carsare empty so crooks can rifle throughtheir things with ease, quite a conces-sion to make in this day and age.

Back in the day, my father andsome other Bleckley County boys found

a quick solution to a similar problem.After one of their old Chevy’s havebeen broken into by a nee’r do well ,dad and some of his buddies took anold heap and parked it on the side of theroad in a bad neighborhood. Theytrapped a bobcat, and dumped it intothe car, and sat in the woods watchinguntil some unsuspecting car thief camealong and hopped in, planning on tak-ing a joy ride. Dad and his buddies gotsuch a laugh that they kept the car inthe neighborhood, and would periodi-cally dump wild animals into it toscratch up all who dared enter. I imag-ine that walking around BleckleyCounty with scratches on your facemarking you as a thief wasn’t a funthing to do with my Dad around.

I’ve wanted to do something simi-lar with Rattlesnakes, but I haven’tsummoned the courage.- Brad Evans

The things making our world just a little bit better | by brad evans

Though we are huge Kenny Powers fans, thesecond season of Eastbound and Down is hav-ing a hard time living up to the hype, in myopinion. Thank goodness Stevie showed up inMexico. Boardwalk Empire, however, isbecoming a new favorite.

This is old news by now, but Drunk Historyhas been a recent obsession of mine that I justcan’t seem to quit. Recently Don Cheadleplayed Fredrick Douglass against Will Ferrell’sAbe Lincoln, narrated by a lady who’d hadtoo much white wine. It’s a priceless time killertoo good to ignore.

I also just purchased my first flat screen.I’ve claimed that it made no difference to us if

something was “high def” or fifty inches. Thenour TV broke and we got a 50 inch HDTV andholy batshit that thing is awesome. We got aSamsung Display model at Best Buy that wasthe right price too.

It’s too late, but if you missed the fire salethat was Aunt Zelda’s Furniture moving extrav-aganza, you really missed something. Andwe’ve been finding some good stuff at theMacon Rescue Mission recently as well. If youhurry you might actually find some vintage11th Hour desks there, as we recently movedfrom our downtown digs.

I’ve been reading the Ice Man, a biogra-phy about one of the most prolific Mob assas-

sins in history, RichardKulkinski. They called him“The Polack” and he fedlive men to rats andsometimes froze peopleto throw off the authori-ties. I don’t know why I’mreading this, but I can’tstop. I did also down-load some David Foster Wallace and now getthe New York Times daily on my Kindle to keepthe balance.

That and the WHIGS are playing Maconthis week. The WHIGS. This is one of thoseshows you don’t miss.

10/16: 33rd Annual Flea Market

For almost 20 years, Pat Powell has been pricing items and testingtelevisions in the electronics section of Historic MaconFoundation’s annual flea market. “When I was younger, I saw older men, men about my age now,

working the electronics section, “ Powell said. “I wanted to come help sothat I could be a part of it and see all of the interesting things that werebrought in.”

Powell is not alone in his long-time volunteer service to HistoricMacon. Almost 20 other Maconites have worked on particular sectionsof the flea market for more than 20 years to support the historic andarchitectural preservation work of the organization. The group hasalmost become a club, they meet every Wednesday in the fall to sort,price and marvel over items donated to the organization, but they spendtime socializing and reminiscing as well.

“I am not sure how many years I have volunteered at HistoricMacon’s Flea Market,” said Betty Sweet Ladson. “It’s been a long, longtime, and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it.”

For 33 years, Historic Macon has been turning some Maconites’household junk into treasures and this year is no different. On Saturday,Oct. 16, Historic Macon will host its 33rd Annual Flea Market at 668Shurling Dr. from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m.

The Flea Market boasts hundreds of items, including antiques, finegifts, furniture, electronics, kitchenware, knick-knacks, holiday items,children’s toys and other inventory.

“Our Flea Market has established itself as a Central Georgia tradi-tion,” said Historic Macon Foundation President Jeff Logan. “All pro-ceeds help support the mission of Historic Macon,” he continued.Historic Macon has rehabilitated 146 historic properties to date, increas-ing Macon's tax base by $9 million.

The event is free and open to the public, but a Preview Party willbe held on Friday, Oct. 15 from 6 until 9 p.m. Members of HistoricMacon Foundation pay $25 to have the first chance to purchase items inthe Flea Market, and refreshments are also provided.

10/14: Drivin’ N Cryin’ in ConcertA Benefit at the Capitol TheatreGeorgia Music Hall of Fame & The HummingbirdPresent Drivin’ N Cryin’ & Very Special MusicalGuests at the Cox Capitol Theatre Concert toBenefit MusiCares and The Mentors Project ofBibb County

The Georgia Music Hall of Fame presents Drivin’ N Cryin’in concert at 8 p.m. on Thurs., Oct. 14, 2010 at the CoxCapitol Theatre in Macon with very special guests AngieAparo, Col. Bruce Hampton, the Abby Owens Band andmore to be announced. Tickets are $20 in advance and at thedoor with proceeds benefitting MusiCares and The MentorsProject of Bibb County.

The Georgia Music Hall of Fame and Drivin’ N Cryin’ ini-tiated the concert idea recently after the band’s trailer, containingits gear and merchandise, was stolen from a Macon hotel follow-ing a gig at the Hummingbird Stage and Taproom. “There was alot of negative press directed towards Macon, which we thoughtwas unfair because it could have happened anywhere.” saidKevn Kinney, leader of Drivin’ N Cryin’. “So many musiciansreached out to us after the news hit and we thought, ‘let’s get

them together and go down to Macon to show how much werespect the city’s music history and its audiences and do some-thing that benefits worthy charities at the same time.”

That spirit of community has been embraced by themusicians, who all agreed to play for free, as well as manybusinesses donating their time and services for the event.MusiCares provides a safety net of critical assistance formusic people in times of need. The Mentors Project of BibbCounty is a non-profit agency that works with over 200 stu-dents in 13 public middle and high schools in Bibb County.

A quick chat with

Director of ‘The Secret to a Happy Ending’

Bar Weissman talks about what life on the road with theDrive-by Truckers is really like

BY DAVID HIGDON

The time you’ve devoted to this project hasno doubt been a labor of love for you, andyou’ve actually described this film as “a loveletter to rock ‘n roll.” Oh, absolutely! That is part of the reason whythe relationship between the Truckers and Iactually works. They had been approachedbefore about doing a film, which this is nowgoing back a good six and half years ago, and Ihad to make my case to them quick. Andalthough I’m a documentary filmmaker by pro-fession, I’ve never done anything musicallyrelated in this way. The project also mirrors myfalling in love with the Drive-By Truckers as aband because first you get overwhelmed by thenoise, then you get overwhelmed by the ener-gy, and then you start listening to the lyrics.

There’re aspects of the film where I see itas my love letter to rock ‘n roll, and I was alsoconscious of wanting to go against type andagainst cliché at every moment. I think the filmis not what only the people who see theTruckers in concert will expect, there are a lotof other layers as to who they are and whythey’re important, and that is something that Ican do. For me, it was peeling back the layersas to why they’re so relevant, and howimpressed I am at how they’ve integrated thepower and the passion of rock ‘n roll with howthey’re people just like you and me; they’vegot kids, they’ve got hometowns, they’ve gotstruggles with making a living, and makingtheir work mean something for them, and Iwanted to break it down to that level.

The DBT’s songs tell so many stories. Whenyou began this film, was there a story that youhad in mind, or did that idea take shape intosomething completely different? No question it changed. My approach as a docu-mentary film maker is that you want to learn asmuch about your subject as you can before youbegin filming, and hopefully creating a little bitof a connection with your subject before youshow up with a camera because cameras tend tochange everything, so we definitely wentthrough a bit of a courtship before we began.

I wanted the songs to help tell the story asthat just seemed like a natural thing with them.And whatever happened in front of the camerahappens. One of the big things that happened wasthe break up with Jason (Isbell) and the dissolu-tion of his and Shonna’s (Tucker) marriage whichwas not intended. In a way it was part of thestory, but I did not want it to dominate. I triedreally hard throughout the filming process and inthe construction of the film honor everyone’s pri-vacy, but to also allow them to speak for them-selves. So, that changed everything. When Ientered into it, when I fell in love with them,there was this peak energy going on between thethree songwriters and Shonna having just joined,and over the course of the three years that I wasfilming, that just fell apart. They were at thatpoint trying to reinvent themselves, both Jasonand the Truckers, I think, and they view the filmas a very dark period in the lives and in theircareer.

Another primary goal was trying to getinside them as writers. So, I really went forpersonal moments with each writer when theywere just at home with a guitar, or in

Patterson’s case a mandolin and guitar. Ithought it was important to see them as writers,and when we see them on stage that that isonly one aspect of what they are as artists.

It was an emotional period which youcaught on film, but it was also an extremelycreative time, too. Was there ever a pointduring this tumultuous time when the bandmight have second guessed their choice toallow you to document them? Absolutely!The low point certainly for us in terms of themaking of the film was during the recording ofA Blessing and a Curse. Which, ironically, amuch maligned album that despite the fact thatI was there during some of the recording of it,I know there was a lot of pain and confusiongoing on when they made it, and I know theydon’t even think that it’s that good.

Right as I’m at my peak of feeling it’sbeen a year and half, and we’re finally gettingsome place, I guess I got too close. I don’tknow. We were asked to leave; very nicely, asthose people are as kind and as hospitable andas civil as you can get. We were crushed.Again, it was a labor of love as we had beenpassing up jobs, and being away from our fam-ilies, and being gone on holidays, and doing allof these things as we believed in this project.And all of a sudden, we felt like it was beingtaken out from under us.

I was feeling stuck as I had to rememberwhere I started, and where I started was lovingthis band and wanting to see them grow andprosper. There was a lot of synergy between alot of things that Patterson would say whatthey were going through, and what I felt like Iwas going through in putting the film together.When Patterson was talking about SouthernRock Opera, and how “we worked six years onthis damn thing, and if we give up now thenwe’re just a bunch of fucking losers.” Ofcourse, I was going through this with the filmthinking that maybe I should just give up now.But, if I were to do that, then I’m just anotherloser who had an idea about making a moviewho couldn’t see it through.

October 7th , Adam Smith Productions will be bringing TheWhigs (Athens, GA) back to Macon with very special guestsFuturebirds. The Macon show will kick off a short southwesttour before getting back on the road with the Kings of Leon insupport of their European tour this fall. On June 30th, 2010,The Whigs played their largest show ever opening for Kings ofLeon in London's Hyde Park. An estimated 65,000 peopleattended the show. This will mark the first time The Whigs &Futurebirds (also from Athens) have teamed up. Tickets are$13 in advance and $15 at the Capitol Theatre’s door. PublisherBrad Evans got a chance to ask Julian of the Whigs a few ques-tions, so listen up.

Name a song you've listened to in the past 24 hours? Gosh,well in the last 24 hours I’ve listened to the vinyl version ofJohnny Guitar Watson and the Family Clones. Pretty much thewhole album.

What was the first album you bought? I think my brother

tricked me into buying the Coneheadss soundtrack. It had“Soul to Squeeze”, that Red Hot Chili Peppers Song. It also had“Tainted Love” which I secretely love. It was pretty much aworthlesss purchase.

Whose band t-shirt do you wear proudly? My brother is inthis rock band in Atlanta called Trances Arc, and I have one oftheir T Shirts that I love to wear on tour.

Recommend a band our readers must hear now?Wax Fang. They are an amazing Rock and Roll band from LouisvilleKY who we’ve toured with and they’re just plain awesome.

Tell me about this recent tour, with Kings of Leon and theBlack Keys. It was an amazing run. We enjoy both bands somuch. We’ve been out with the Kings before, so we’re goodfriends, but it was great to get to know the Keys. We love play-ing clubs and stuff, but these huge arena tours, it’s just been areal privilege.

Clark Bush is listening toVelvet Underground; WillGrammer is digging TheBirthday Massacre; CandyCooper is playing SamCooke’s “Change is gonnacome”, and Cindy Fennell islistening to Mat Kearney.

What our readers are listening to

Dwayne “Jubee” Webb is enjoying Kanye West, Rick Ross,Nikki Minaj and Jay-Z on “Monster”. Jubee and Perry

Valentyne make up the local hit duo known as City Council.Jubee was born in Brooklyn, New York and credits his

upbringing in helping to shape and influence his style today.

THURSDAY 10/7The Whigs @ Cox Capitol TheatreWith their stunning third album, IN THEDARK, the Whigs have gone widescreen.Bursting with energy, emotion, and unpre-dictable experimentation, the Athens, GA-based trio tear open the artistic envelope,bringing both nuance and eclectic strengthto songs like “Hundred / Million” and theraucous first single, “Kill Me Carolyne.”IN THE DARK is both atmospheric andambitious, without losing the pedal-to-the-metal power that earned them universalpraise as one of America’s finest youngrock ‘n’ roll bands. They’ve been touringwith the Black Keys and The Kings ofLeon recently. If this show isn’t sold outthen there really is no hope for Macon.

FRIDAY 10/8The Heap @ The HummingbirdThe HEAP is an amalgam of several dif-ferent styles of music, and its membersname bands as diverse as Morphine, SoulCoughing, and Sly and the Family Stone asinfluences.

Mississippi John Doude @ TheShamrock Doude is blues, rock, folk andcountry all rolled into one, yet none ofthese would quite describe his uniquestyle. From barn-burning country blue-grass to delta blues, MJD’s stripped downroots music takes you back to whereAmerican music began, capturing the soulof the blues, the heart of country, and theattitude of punk-rock along the way.

Dallas Martin Band @ Wild WingThe Dallas Martin Band was formed at thebeginning of 2010, by musicians from var-ied backgrounds. A punk drummer, analternative bassist, a southern rock guitarplayer, and a lead singer who is a mixtureof many styles bonded and formed thisband over the common bond of a love formusic. Dallas Martin was a well knownacoustic player, having played all overGeorgia and being consistently ranked asone of myspace's top nationally unsignedcountry acts.

WEDNESDAY 10/13Chris Hicks & Friends @Backporch LoungeIt’s only fitting that “Take the Highway” isone of the Marshall Tucker Band’s mostbeloved tunes because founding memberand lead vocalist Doug Gray has beendoing just that for 30 years. The band wasformed in 1972 in the rolling foothills ofthe Blue Ridge Mountains in the smalltown of Spartanburg, South Carolina.Gray and MTB have always delivered for

FRIDAY 10/1540 Daze @ Billy’s Clubhouse40 Daze music simply put is Straight upRock. 40 Daze originates out ofMacon,GA. and only six months fromjumping on the Macon music scene in late1999, 40 Daze was playing the biggestshows the area had to offer. 40 Daze hasopened for Drivin N Cryin, Jackyl, andBrand New Immortals just to name a fewand was a featured artist in On OffCampus Magazine.

SATURDAY 10/16Jeremy Johnson @ MellowMushroom Jeremy Johnson is flyingsolo tonight, he usually brings his vocalsand expert picking to the local band St.Francis, but tonight you’ll be able to wit-ness his talent uninterupted, and with amicro brew in one hand, and fine slice ofpizza in the other.

Market City Cafe is, plainly put, asoup, salad and sandwich shop.And yet there is nothing plain

about Market City Café. They take ordinarysandwiches and elevate them from the mun-dane with a few simple ingredients. For exam-ple: The Martina and May, a grilled chickensandwich with a slice of brie cheese andhoney mustard mayo. Or a creamy chickensalad on a buttery croissant. Yes, you can find

these in other shops, but at Market City Caféthere is something ‘big city’ about the platecombinations. Market City Café makes theirown chips as well, and are served with a vari-ety of specialty sauces for dipping. The high-light of the menu, and a showstopper whenexiting the kitchen is their Chinese ChickenSalad, pictured above. A perfect combinationof fresh ingredients, where sweet and salty fla-vors meld into the perfect lunchtime meal.Market City Café is located at 502 CherryStreet. 7 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Saturday.

20 OCTOBER 7 - 20, 2010

What prompted you to start the MaconFilm Guild? The idea for a film guildstarted with the Douglass Theater (DT)management who were looking for calen-dar events. A couple attempts wereorganized, but seemed to founder by thethird meeting. Maybe Bob Burnham (rep-

resenting the DT) and I were the onlypeople at the third meeting! I don’t know,but Bob asked if I’d start a guild. I said,“Yes, if I can do it by myself, and if it isstill working after a year, I’ll convert it toa ‘democracy,’ assemble a cadre of work-ing volunteers, assign jobs, and let it runitself.” Bob agreed, so it went along justlike that.

Why did this seem important to you?Burns Court Cinema in downtownSarasota (FL) was my favorite vacationrefuge. The films there had so much sub-stance, and were crafted to a higher dra-matic standard than multiplex films. I hadnot realized there was film of this charac-ter. The films engrossed me thoroughly:their subtlety, reliance on actor nuance, adirector’s artistic role and maturityrequired of the audience to understandless than obvious plots and narrative,were all new to me. When Bob offeredthe DT film guild, it became an opportu-

nity for me to share these films in Macon.I knew there was already a small core offolks here who appreciated these films. Iran into them at the art theatres inAtlanta! All we had to do was “build itand they would come!”

How does the Guild find good films toconsider screening? Originally, it wasentirely Burns Court‘s selections. Theywere also willing to rent the films for usbecause the DT had no “credentials” withthe distributors. Gradually the New Yorkerreviews began to inform the selection, thenthe New York Times, and even the Oscarnominations for “Best Foreign LanguageFilm.” As our volunteer core grew in size,sophistication, and stability, the selectionprocess took on greater range and depth.Jack Sammons was our first official filmvetter, narrowing the number of worthycandidates and then allowing the group toarrive at a consensus. Robert Fieldsteel hastaken on that role and has built on Jack’soutstanding job.

We’ve noticed that you lead a discus-sion after the 4:30 screening each sec-ond Sunday. How do you prepareyourself for these discussions? Read a range of reviews for the critics’insights. Although I prefer the positivereviews because they are generally lessself conscious, a few negative reviews aregiven a chance to argue for my sympathy.Beyond that there is an outline whichstarts with my observations on the “pro-duction values” as a warm up for theaudience. Then we look at the plot devel-opment, director’s choices, contribution

by particular actors, and the little thingsthat most audiences might miss (eithervisual, sound, set, action). And then wewonder about why particular things weredone. We examine, for example, why someparticular scenes or lines were included,given that directors really should be budg-eting their screen time. Brevity in telling astory has its place in film.

What sort of things should the audi-ence look for in a film? Keep in mind that a film is the creation ofthe director. Everything and everybodyelse involved are his “tools.” How effec-tively does the director employ thosetools to make you feel or understandsomething? And then ask some simplequestions: Which actors did an especiallygood job? How do the production valuessupport the plot, mood, pace, etc.? Thenthere is the totality of the film. Howeffective is the total experience? Whatwas the reaction at the end? Sometimesthe audience applauds. Sometimes it sitssilently through the credits not wanting tobreak the mood. We love to have ouraudience give us a thumbs-up, a“WOW!” or just sniffle on their waythrough the lobby.

What’s next for the Guild?We would like to do more films on a reg-ular schedule, but one film a month takesa lot from a volunteer crew who have fulltime jobs. We hope we make it look easy,but there’s a lot of to do between filmselection and wrap-up. We are currentlyrevising our quarterly film offering to seehow best we can increase audience size.

The films I have listed for you all hadlives of their own and yet were inevitableor so I think.

There are a few, and only a few,audience favorites that are not on eitherof my lists and I would want to arguewith you about their being included: LAVIE EN ROSE, WATER, and THE LASTSTATION, for example. And there is atleast one film on the second list, theones that almost made it for me, that ouraudiences did not like at all, but I didquite a lot: TRISTRAM SHANDY.

Often, I don’t have a good sense of afilm until I’ve heard others discussing itand then joined in. There are films I haveselected here that, were it not for thediscussions led by our Director, CampBacon, wouldn’t be on the list because Ididn’t know how to appreciate them onmy own. So let me conclude then bythanking Camp, not just for these won-derful discussions, but also for his visionin giving birth to the Guild and his manytalents in keeping it alive and well. Thanks Camp!

So, you’re going through your dailydrudge--taking the kids to practice, run-ning by Chichester’s, heading to work--

when you see some artsy-fartsy dude directinga film crew like he’s Stephen Spielberg orJames Cameron. You probably rolled youreyes and continued your day, but if you hadwatched just a minute longer, you would havefound that while this “artsy-fartsy” dude maynot have been Spielberg, he was directing amovie that many are anxiously anticipating,“Fast & Furious 5.”

That’s right! Boring old Macon becamethe set for several scenes in the upcoming Fast& Furious movie and, even more surprising,this isn’t the first time that Macon has playedhost to Hollywood. Thanks to the Macon FilmCommission, it won’t be the last.

The Film Commission, a subsidiary ofMaGa (Macon Film Festival), has been offi-cially representing Macon for over a year.Comprised of five members with professionalexperience in the film industry, this commis-sion acts as the liaison to filmmakers provid-ing assistance in scouting locations, workingwith businesses and city officials, accessingprofessional production crews, and evenassisting with casting calls.

The 2010 movie, The Crazies, served asimpetus for the creation of the Commission.“[Filmmakers] would call the city and therewas no contact,” said Commissioner ElliottDunwody. “As the film festival, we offered tohelp with location scouting.”

Afterward, Mayor Reichert suggestedthat they commission four or five people withthe required skill set with assisting future pro-duction teams. Since that time, this team ofdedicated volunteers has made themselvesavailable to producers and filmmakers fromaround the country, touting the benefits offilming in Middle Georgia.

“The place [Macon] is like a movie set:historic homes, urban, and even a Europeanfeel,” Dunwody said.

“Another good thing about Macon is thatthey’re not spoiled with the movie business,”explained fellow Commissioner Cindy Hill.“Filmmakers are amazed that the communityis just so open-armed to them--even allowingthem to use locations without charge.”

Stephanie Shadden, Film Commissionmember, understands that it is not just thefilmmakers who benefit from the relationshipbeing formed between MaGa and Hollywood.“Macon stands to benefit financially,” shesaid. “Many times, these crews stay in Maconfor months. They eat in local restaurants, stayin our hotels or rent homes, do their groceryshopping in town. It’s good for real estate,businesses, and our government.”

Actor, writer and filmmaker, ChadDarnell, agrees that Macon is a perfect loca-tion. He will film his upcoming work, TheTelling, here this fall. “Macon looks like theback lot of Universal studios. It is timeless-looking at night when there’s no traffic, nocars. It’s beautiful,“ Darnell said. “You canshoot anything there it’s timeless, classic.”

According to Darnell, The Telling, isabout a guy who murders five people in a

cemetery on a ghost hunting expedition andblames it on being possessed. An atheist attor-ney has to defend the murderer and begins toquestion his faith after things happen to him.

“When I first wrote the script four yearsago, I planned to film in Savannah. But thatlocation has been a bit played out at this point,“Darnell said. So he reworked the script to estab-lish the Gothic, creepy world in Macon.

Crediting Commission member, TabithaWalker, for her help in scouting locations,Darnell said he found “every single kind oflocation needed from cemeteries, churches,office space and hospitals.”

The sheriff and mayor were also a greathelp Darnell said. “They provided anything weneeded from cars to uniforms. PublicInformation Officer Deputy Shaun Defoewould say, ‘Mary Kay give that boy whateverhe wants.’”

Friendliness and timelessness are but afew of the perks of filming outside ofHollywood. The financial incentives are justas tempting. “In Los Angeles, it’s hard to findinvestors willing to fund a film. But outside ofHollywood, there are people who have a lot ofmoney to invest and haven’t grown tired ofwanting to be in film,” Darnell said.

Tax incentives and labor laws help film-makers produce quality work with a low budget.Many states have recently jumped on the band-wagon, competing with each other to catch theeye (and the dollars) of the film industry.

With the creation of the Georgia FilmCommission, in 1973, over $5 billion has beenfunneled into the state’s economy from thefilming of more than 575 major motion pic-tures, TV series and movies, and independentfilms. And, according to the AJC, the taxincentives created with the passing of theGeorgia Entertainment Industry InvestmentAct of 2008, produced over $770 million in2009 alone.

With a willing government and support-ive sponsors, the MaGa Film Festival and FilmCommission has been instrumental in making

Macon a front runner in the quest to tap intothis revenue generating goldmine and inadding yet another facet to the evolving down-town cultural scene.

“Macon’s at a crossroads. There’s a lot ofsynergy with different organizations in thecommunity and the changed leadership.“Dunwody said. “The younger generation ispushing us…saying ‘change or we will do itwithout you.’”

The Knight Foundation, one of MaGa‘smajor sponsors, has helped other sponsors torecognize the potential in investing in the fes-tival. The funding has allowed MaGa mem-bers to bring innovative activities from otherfilm festivals to Macon.

“We’ve come a long way—we’re excitedto be another avenue for the Central Georgiacommunity to come and experience the arts,”said Hill. Through free filmmaking work-shops, competitions, and film showings, thefestival offers everyone entertainment andeven opportunities for growth.

The 6th annual MaGa Film Festival willtake place February 17-20, 2011. The call forfilm submissions, open since June, has gar-nered 115 entries from 12 different countries,including Ethiopia, which submitted for thefirst time. Over $14 thousand prize money isawarded by MaGa each year.

The festival is proud to be labeled as oneof the friendliest festivals around encouraginglocal filmmakers to network with visitingartists. “It doesn’t matter if you are a hugeactor or small, everyone’s treated the same,”Hill said. “We really try to bring in people thatwe know are open to sitting down and hangingout to help independent filmmakers.”

Education is an important part of the fes-tival. With a student category, college and filmschools students are also encouraged to submittheir work and there is even a tie-in to the pub-lic schools when the festival offers a showcaseof work created by Bibb County students.

Macon is officiallyready for HollywoodThe Macon Film Guild paved the road, the Macon FilmFestival expanded the spirit of independent film makingand now the Macon Film Commissioners have helped toput Macon on Hollywood’s movie destination map.Hollywood, we’re ready for our close-up.

you’ve ever toured UniversalStudios in Los Angeles you’veseen the backlot – acres upon

acres of exterior sets that include NewYork City streets, quaint small townsquares, mansions, shacks, spaceships,lagoons, and one very “Psycho” houseupon a hill. These re-created realitiesallow filmmakers to span geography andtime periods without leaving the confinesof LA county. This was important back inthe day when cameras were the size andweight of several grown men, whentrained crew members could only befound in New York and LA, and beforethe convenience of the redeye flight,internet and FedEx.

Cut to today: digital cameras thatcan be held easily in one hand, film pro-grams at most major universities,YouTube and online streaming allowinganyone to shoot, edit and broadcastalmost anything.

What’s true for real estate is doublyso for filmmaking: it’s all about location,location, location. And when it comes tolocation, Macon has a surprising lot tooffer. Antebellum homes and raw industrialareas, an untouched 1930’s style baseballstadium, an Italianate mansion and indianmounds at Ocmulgee, a rambling river andrailroad tracks, fields and forests, brickstreets and beautiful parks, idyllic collegecampuses and Cherry Blossom trees.Macon’s location outside the fray of metroAtlanta and with the airport a short drive orflight away is another big plus.

The other key ingredient that makesMacon attractive to filmmakers is thevibrant creative industry that is alreadyhere. Professional film producers (ElliottDunwody, Stephanie Shadden, TabithaWalker and others) already shoot andedit projects in their Macon studiospaces every day. The theatre communi-ty offers up a nationally-renowned fightand stunt choreographer (Scot Mann), anextraordinary professional costumedesigner (Shelley Kuhen), and dozens ofactors seasoned by years of stage work.Professional musicians can perform on-camera and for the film score.

All of these assets are great butlargely untapped – yet. Enter: theMacon Film Festival and the MaconFilm Commission. Earlier this year morethan 60 filmmakers traveled to Maconto see their work screened in one of twohistoric theatre venues AND they took agood look at our city. Now the MaconFilm Commission is working with theFestival to actively market our city as agreat place to make movies. Workingwith the Georgia Department ofEconomic Development’s Film, Music &Digital Entertainment division, FilmCommissioners are busy gathering pic-tures of Macon’s most interestinglocales to post to the state’s locationsdatabase. If you have a suggested loca-tion to include drop a line [email protected].“Wise Blood”, “Bingo Long Traveling

All-Stars & Motor Kings”, “The Jackal &the Rose”, and more recently, “TheCrazies” and “Stuck!” have begun toput Macon on the movie-making map.Small, independent productions likethese are great sources of revenue forthe city and county as filmmakers cometo town, rent homes and hotel rooms,offices and studio space, and hire localsto work on the crew and as extras. Wehaven’t found our “Midnight in theGarden of Good and Evil” – that filmthat really shows the best of Macon andmakes this a destination for movie-lov-ing tourists but that will come. With ourversatile locations and creativeresources, not to mention some of thewild personalities who have lived, diedand murdered here – it’s simply a matterof when we’re “discovered” – not if.

22 OCTOBER 7 - 20, 2010

BY BILL KNOWLES

The Republican Governors’ race of 2010has been a wild and crazy ride for me. Ihave chosen not to write about it up

until this point as to begin with I was very heav-ily involved with one campaign. That candi-date lost in the primary and now the runoff ishistory and I am supporting formerCongressman Nathan Deal. Although I haveworked for and with other candidates, eachcandidate has different ideas, platforms and per-sonalities, but they all have one thing in com-mon: In my opinion, they are all better for thepeople of Georgia than former Governor RoyBarnes. I do not say that half-heartedly or withreservation for a host of different reasons, butthe one I have the greatest concern about I’ll besharing with you in this column. Is it theGeorgia flag that he ramrodded down thethroats of Georgians? No. Is it the fact thatGeorgia was 50th in the nation in education dur-ing the Barnes Administration? No. The reasonthat I cannot even think about another fouryears of Roy Barnes in the Governor’s Mansionon West Paces Ferry has to do with one personthat most Middle Georgians will remember verywell: Malachi York, convicted child molester.

For those of you who don’t rememberDwight ‘Malachi’ York, I’ll give you a quickrecap of his colorful life. (Much of this is takenfrom the book “Ungodly” by Bill Osinski, a for-mer writer for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.)York moved to Eatonton in the early 1990’sand built the Nuwabian compound calledTama-Re flush with Egyptian-styled pyramidsand armed security. Before leaving his home inNew York, York had been a singer with thegroup Passion, a member of the Black Panthers,plead guilty to raping a 13-year old girl, spentthree years in prison for assault, possession of adangerous weapon and resisting arrest, and hadbeen convicted of getting a passport with aforged birth certificate. In 1997, York tried toadd a nightclub called “Club Ramses” to hisexisting “empire” when, it was discovered thatseveral building codes had been violated andthat no one had obtained a building permit.The Nuwaubians were less than hospitable tothe county’s building inspector Dean Adams tosay the least. Adams in turn felt it necessary toask Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills to joinhim in trying to enforce the code and talk tothe builders of the Nuwaubian nightclub. Sillswas met with the same hospitality. Eventually,the nightclub would open and Sills would endup shutting it down for the various code viola-tions and an inspection by a fire marshal thatdeemed it a fire-trap. Let’s fast forward to 1999when a hearing was set to enforce all of thecodes and regulations that York either ignoredor did not comply with in building Tama-Re.What would happen in the months and dayspreceding the court hearing were strange to saythe least, especially since each weird eventinvolved former Governor Roy Barnes.

In March of 1999 Sheriff Sills forwarded aletter to then Governor Barnes telling him the

problems that he was having with York and theNuwaubians and warned him about informa-tion he had collected about York while in NewYork prior to his move to Eatonton and wroteto the former Governor that “information wehave obtained in the last several months is evenworse.” Sills went on to report to Barnes thathe believed that the Nuwaubians were trying“to racially divide the citizenry of this county.”He then went on to request a personal meetingwith the Governor which fell upon deaf earsmainly due to the fact that Barnes was relyingon State Representative Tyrone Brooks ofAtlanta for his information regarding York andthe Nuwabians. In a 2007 interview Barnes’chief of staff Bobby Kahn stated that Barneswas “taking his cues” about York from Brooks;and for good reason, as far as Barnes was con-cerned: Barnes won the African-American voteby a landslide when he was elected in 1998 andBrooks was one of his biggest supporters.Further, Brooks is and was extremely influentialas he is the President of the GeorgiaAssociation of Black Officials as well as being avery active member of the Georgia LegislativeBlack Caucus. I forgot to mention that Brookswas a very frequent visitor to Tama-Re as well asseveral GBI agents who used the facilities to fish.Sills would feel it unwise to relay any informationto the GBI as he felt there would be leaks back toBrooks for this reason. I asked the former U. S.Attorney Max Wood who prosecuted York if hefelt that Sills was justified in not involving theGBI. Wood wrote that “Sheriff Sills probably hadthe right hunch to keep the GBI out of the loopon this one. He apparently feared that Barneswould interject himself into an investigation at thebehast of Brooks. We will never know what mighthave happened.” (Brooks would later write in anarticle in the June 22, 2002 issue of The MaconTelegraph, that Sills conduct as a law enforcementagent was “insulting and disgraceful” yet told howmuch of a pleasure it was to work with theNuwaubians as they lived in “peace and harmo-ny—no cussing, no fussing, no drugs, no alcohol,no tobacco products”. In the same article hewould again slam Sills and presumably MaxWood when he writes that he is “tired ofunscrupulous white politicians riding the wave ofvictory on the backs of minorities.” (He couldhave been talking about his buddy Roy Barnes.Instead of the cooperation from Governor Barnesthat Sheriff Sills looked for, Sills was asked, “MyGod, Howard! Are you going to kill people overbuilding permits?” It was clear to Sills that Barnesput politics over anything else. Apparently Barnestook the word of Brooks in lieu of the local Sheriffwho had been investigating the situation.

A court date was set for June 29, 1999 todecide the code violations and ordinances bro-ken or ignored by the Nuwaubians and MalachiYork. A few weeks prior to that, a group of“Georgia Rangers” showed up in Eatonton tohelp keep order if necessary. Their leader,“Major” Ed Coughenour, himself on parolefrom North Carolina for embezzlement, had aletter with him given to him by Representative

Brooks that stated, “Indeed we are very con-cerned that county officials in Putnam are try-ing to force the Nuwaubians into a violent con-frontation. Whatever your agency can do toconvince the county to just let these people livein peace will certainly be in the best interest ofGa.” And it was signed by the Representativehimself. Later, Coughenhour and Brookswould have a face-to-face meeting in whichBrooks told him that “a white cracker sheriff(is) messing with the Nuwaubians”, and thenmade it “very clear that the governor’s officewas behind them,” meaning Coughenour’sRangers. He then told Coughenour, “Youdon’t have to worry; the governor’s office isinvolved.” Cougenhour would later state thathe had no reservations about taking the assign-ment, as “we were under the assumption thatwe were protected by the Governor of the Stateof Georgia.” During the same meeting,Coughenhour reported that Bobby Kahnentered Brooks’ office and gave Coughenhourfour tickets valued at $250 apiece to an upcom-ing Barnes fundraiser, saying “If you can handlethis, we’d really appreciate it,” now meaning thesituation in Eatonton. Kahn later denied thatthis happened, however the tickets were foundin Coughenhour’s possession when he was laterarrested. Kahn did later confirm that he gave acopy of the Brooks letter to Barnes along withone of Coughenhour’s business cards during abriefing with Governor Barnes about thePutnam County situation.

On the day prior to the hearing, June 28,1999, Barnes took a more proactive stance inprotection of York and the Nuwaubians. Ispoke with Eatonton attorney Frank Ford whowas the attorney representing Putnam Countyin the case. He told me that at about 4:00 PMon the 28th he received a call from Barnes. Iasked him if he felt that Barnes was trying tointimidate him at all and he said that the wholeconversation was an attempt to get Ford to can-cel the hearing and in Ford’s words, “Barnesused strong arm tactics” to do so. Ford said

Barnes told him, ‘You need to call it off!’” Fordrefused to cooperate with the former Governorand would later say, “Can you imagine, theGovernor of the State of Georgia calling a lawyerin one of the 159 counties in the state on a zon-ing matter?” I can’t imagine it either Mr. Ford.

Barnes would also call Sheriff Sills on thatday according to Mr. Ford. Sheriff Sills wasunavailable for comment as he is working on acase right now, but has agreed to answer myquestions about this which I will relay to you inmy next column; however here is a portion of aletter written by Sheriff Sills to Milton Nix whowas the director of the GBI just before thehearing on June 29th that will sum up the feel-ings that the Sheriff has towards our formerGovernor and his treatment of the case. Sillswrote, “I have the distinct impression that thereis at least some reluctance on the part of theexecutive branch of the state government andits law enforcement personnel in providingassistance here in Putnam County.” He wenton to tell Nix how “appalled” he was that therewere leaks coming from the Governor’s officeregarding a meeting about the situation inEatonton that Sills had on June 24th in theGovernor’s office.

In a few weeks, Georgians will have theopportunity to re-hire Roy Barnes as ourGovernor. I urge you all to read this columnand decide for yourself if he deserves anotherchance to be our Governor. As I have said, Iwill continue this column next time with myinterview with Sheriff Howard Sills and otherfacts involving former Governor Barnes andthis case. Keep something in mind, then-Attorney General John Ashcroft gave SheriffSills a citation for his management of theNuwaubian case and Max Wood wrote to methat, “there are very few Sheriffs in the coun-try who could have handled a situation likethis. Howard Sills deserves every accolade hehas received in this matter.” Georgians firedRoy Barnes. - PART TWO NEXT ISSUE...

CENTENARY

BY TINA WHITTLE

It wasn’t exactly a medical crisis, but Iwas in a panic nonetheless. My daugh-ter, away at summer camp, couldn’t

find her emergency inhaler. This was nother fault. I, her scatter-brained mother, hadsomehow packed two empty inhaler boxesin her suitcase, but no actual inhaler.

The 4-H staff was sympathetic andhelpful. They were also six hours away, inNorth Carolina, where my daughter washappily skipping through clouds of foreignpollen, inhaling billions of possible ana-phylactic shock triggers. As we ponderedways of solving this dilemma, one of thestaff came up with a great idea.

“Can you get her doctor to call in aprescription to a pharmacy here?” she sug-gested. “Then one of us could pick it upfor you.”

A rush of gratitude replaced thepanic. Yes, this seemed an imminentlysensible idea. Two quick phone calls, andone medical crisis averted, all without myhaving to drive to North Carolina, fingerscrossed, praying with every mile that Igot there before my child wheezed her-self into the ER.

The first call went well. My doctorzipped a prescription to the pharmacy, anational chain store, and I called them tolet them know the situation.

The clerk was apologetic. “I’m sorry,ma’am, we don’t take payments over thephone. I mean, we have the capability, butit’s against store policy.” She asked if I’d

like to talk to the store manager. She said itwith relief, and I was relieved too. We werepassing the problem upward, to someonewith the authority to make it go away.

Alas, this wasn‘t the case. “We don’ttake payments over the phone,” said themanager.

“But you can.”“We can. But we don’t.”I hadn’t been expecting the bureau-

cratic stonewall. You don’t play with asth-ma. It kills people, big strong quarterback-looking people, because no matter howotherwise healthy you are, with asthma,you are one unsuccessful inhale away frombeing a corpse.

I explained the situation again, verycalmly and reasonably. The manager gotflustered, but held firm. I took a deepbreath, one that quelled the panic instantly.Because I suddenly knew what I was deal-ing with. The System.

“My child is in a dangerous predica-ment,” I said. “The medicine she needs ison your counter. Can you think of any waythat we can get that medicine to her beforesomething awful happens?”

I used the pronoun “we” tactically —if this distant anonymous manager coulddecide that this was a shared problem, thenperhaps we’d be able to put our headstogether and solve said problem. “I’msorry,” she said. “I cannot help you.”

I hung up. And then I pulled up thecorporate website for this store and calledtheir customer service desk. Within five

minutes, I was talking to the regionalmanager‘s office. Within fifteen minutes, Iwas giving my credit card informationover the phone to the pharmacy, and with-in one hour, my child had her medicine inher backpack.

I was reminded of this situationrecently, as I was reading a very fine bookby a very fine former colleague: CoverMe: A Health Insurance Memoir by SonyaHuber. In it, she describes how she navi-gates both The System and all the otherhardscrabble, back alley, do-it-yourselfsystems that make up American healthcare.

“I learned,“ she writes, “that the sys-tem itself was irrational, logically inconsis-tent, and that if I went into it with a bit oflogic and a bit of force, I already had theupper hand.”

It should have been easy for that storemanager to say, let me make a call. I hadto tap into the hierarchy myself and let itrain down orders from on high. I knew thisexploitable point within The System —power always flows downhill, and powerrecognizes a potential PR nightmare whenit sees one.

I have no neat moral for this story. Butas I read Huber’s book, I was reminded ofthis experience, and of the fact that in anyviable organic system, information flowsboth top-down and bottom-up. Your brainpays attention to your fingertips and viceversa. Without this two-way street, theorganism inevitably collapses.

The right to basic healthcare is not

only for the wealthy, the lucky and thegainfully employed. And until we have asystem that engages everyone’s voice —top to bottom and bottom to top and side toside — we’ll have the stonewalled, the dis-empowered, and the illogical. My fellowAmericans, we can do better. And if wewant to call ourselves great, we have to.

The stonewalled, illogical healthcare system

Almost everything seems to be lining up for younow so do something important for yourself.Purchase new transportation, go for a loan, makesome travel plans or try for a raise in pay.Whatever you do, please do it the first of thisweek before the aspects move onward. Spendwisely, be conservative, maybe a lotter ticket?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You arepractical, peace loving, stubborn, anddeliberate. Taurus has a natural interestin money, and you like the finer things

in life. Money starts to flow in a little easiertowards the end of this week and you can startmaking some good plans for yourself and yourpartner. You should be adding to your secret sav-ings account by mid week. You are going to needthis money later because by Christmas there is anengagement or marriage in the stars for Taurusfolks. This month is much better for you than lastmonth.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Geminiis versatile, fickle, intelligent, creative,quick, neat, and curious. On Mondayyou still have time to ask for a raise in

pay. You have certainly been working hard enoughfor it and deserve the compensation. A wee bit ofunexpected luck is coming your way on Thursday soput yourself in a position to get it.

Otherpeople are demanding your time and energies.Ideas start flowing easier now.

LEO (July 23-August 22): Leo is col-orful, self assured, outgoing, impulsiveand expansive. For the first couple ofdays this week you have aspects that are

actually fall into your lap.

VIRGO (August 23-Sept 22): Virgo isintellectual, critical, fussy, and shy and

needs constant reassurance.Those money makingideas that have been running around in your headlately can be implemented starting this week. Youmay submit this idea as a beginning and thenimprove your methods next month to be more effec-tive and practical.

sipy, critical, and bitter. This is an excellent time foryou and you may have just met someone of interestwho appears to be very exciting.

This is a great time to goover your budget and tighten up your expenses.

SCORPIO (October 23-Nov 21): You are very intense, strong willed,determined and secretive. You can be

willful and sarcastic, but a deep thinker with a finemind. In about another week it will be time to talkover your views and plans for a new home.

Maybe you should buy one ortwo scratch lottery tickets. Spend wisely.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19):Capricorn is very often politicallyminded. Capricorn is also patient,

reserved, cautious, faithful and shrewd. By midweek you should be in an aspect which is morefavorable for you.

unexpected, but you can be self centered. Your plansfor mid week may have to be changed suddenly. Theseplans will not work out for you.
