ulture. How do you even begin to define it? Culture is somethingwe are, something we know and something we feel. It’s intangibleto some degree. You cannot fully put into words the definition, butstill we know culture. Especially Milledgeville culture.

Before I even moved here I often heard my wife refer toMillegeville as the ‘Ville. The word had a certain connotation about it thatscreamed local and known. Everyone obviously knew the term.

The fact is that we do know what the ‘Ville is and we do know the feelingwe get when we hear the word. We here at the ‘Ville have taken on a hugetask by trying to put that feeling onto paper. You can’t explain it. At least notwell enough to sound sane.

The ‘Ville itself is full of culture, full of art, and full of potential.We love it here and we want to celebrate our town and all that this culturerepresents to us.

Our first issue covers a wide variety of the arts here from canvas to musicand even fashion, which is an art form all by itself. We cover local dining,theatre, and even throw in a review of the best brew in town. I’m not sure what our goal was in planning this

publication, but I do know that this town has toomuch to offer by way of the arts and culture to nothave direct representation in publication form.

We need to get the word out! Which is exactlywhat we plan on doing here at the ‘Ville.

We hope you enjoy our first issue!

New band brings energy to local stage

music

By SARAH BETH ARIEMMA

There is a hot new band that is ripping through Milledgeville. A little edgy andharsh, they are a band with static power that has the ability to ignite those whoattend a show with a feeling of urgency. The Elastic Skyline is relatively new to theMilledgeville scene, but the attendance of their concerts proves they have real stay-ing power.

Four musicians: Brandon Marsolo who plays guitar for the group; Taylor Lamb,drums; Alex Pound, Bass; and Ryan Anderson, another guitarist, decided inNovember 2009 to create the listening experience that is The Elastic Skyline.

“I used to live in Athens,” Marsolo said, casually flicking his cigarette ash onto

the pavement.“My friend, Mike Williams just got into the music business and he’s been helping usto book shows.”

The group is close, preferring to spend time together both inside musical geniusand outside the world of sets and lights.

“There is so much satisfaction of playing good music with good people. Whenwe first started playing together, it just fit.” Lamb stated. “These are great guys andthey’ve got a lot of talent. It is an honor to be with them making great music.”

The group debuted at Amici Italian Cafe back in January. The attendance shockedthe fledgling group, as the excitement in the air was generated due to their music.

“It was a great feeling, you know?” Lamb described: “It was the best show that

we’ve ever played. The energy was so high.” Pound jumped in. He’s the kind of man who ensures he is heard. It is little won-

der he’s in the band. “The best way to describe our sound is jam-funk-fusion rock. It is very psyche-

delic,” he explained, taking a swig of his drink. The Elastic Skyline is about music that livens the senses. A typical show inspires,

and gives a feeling of power to the listener. The music is loud — so loud it candrown out any other thoughts. The band is a perfect escape for those who come outand listen.

Milledgeville is not the only area to house the band. A few gigs have beenbooked in the Athens area, to rave reviews. The band is also going digital.

“We’re hoping to record a live release at New Earth Music Hall in Athens.Hopefully we’ll get to release that soon,” chimed Ryan Anderson, bringing the banda few more Solo cups.

The Elastic Skyline still has a deep love of Milledgeville, and the downtown area.“Good times are there to be had. We’re a part of that,” Pound explained. “InMilledgeville, we make our own fun. When you come out to our shows, you won’tbe disappointed. We’re college kids in a college town, and our music reflects that.But it’s a little edgier too. It makes us worth listening to.”

Marsolo had the last word. “We’re taking this all around the South first. We’ll continue playing as long as

people will listen. We’re coming soon to a town near you!” The Elastic Skyline toasted to the promise of those words.

Q & A

Phillip Joiner announced nearly twoyears ago his intentions to run forMilledgeville City Council, and in themonths leading up to last November’selection, he waged a campaign heavilysupported by local college-age votersand young residents of the district.

In the race for the city’s fourth dis-trict, he defeated two opponents, JohnAlton and Ed “Dodo” Hollis, to gain theopportunity to represent Milledgeville’sdowntown district following the retire-ment of 27-year alderman Ken Vance.

With public perception and expecta-

tions high for local elected officialseverywhere as the city works to trans-form itself and embrace new economicdevelopment opportunities, Joinerrecently shared insight on his first yearin office, a year that has had its share oftumultuous moments where he’s some-

times found himself placed under themicroscope of public scrutiny. Herecently spoke about what he’s learnedabout public office, getting things donein local government and about himselfduring his first six months in office.

Phillip Joiner, Milledgeville’s 4th District City Councilman, recently sat down with the ‘Ville to share insight from his first year inoffice.

Q. Give us an update on the city’sseal project and where things standwith the re-design.

A. The plan is still in place. There’sbeen some things that have taken awayfrom the plan temporarily, but we’vegotten feedback on the original conceptand we’ve marketed on local radio andcable access. The next phase (later thissummer) will be getting design ideas …some people question the use of taxpay-er money [for the project] but, in fact, itwill not cost the city money from anyperspective.

Q. There’s been a lot of discussionduring the past several months aboutwhich direction the City ofMilledgeville should take to re-estab-lish or re-invent itself, what do youthink is the next step to get this com-munity to the next phase in thatprocess?

A. There’s an old saying: The defini-tion of insanity is continuing to do thesame thing and expecting differentresults. It’s about getting involved.There are a lot of community groups outthere. If people want to be a part of thenew Milledgeville, they need to askquestions. I encourage them to find outwhat’s going on.

Q. What do you think it will take toget the arts destination movement offthe ground in Milledgeville? Since thisis an arts and culture publication,what do you think of the future of thearts in Milledgeville?

A. Since I was a baby, I’ve grown uparound the arts. My father was a profes-sional violinist, my mother has a degreein music and my brother is an accom-plished musician.

I think the arts and culture movementin Milledgeville has a tremendousfuture. There are a lot of things still inthe works. There are a great number ofpeople who care about the arts inMilledgeville … and want to see thingsgrow. Having a liberal arts college herehelps to really push Milledgeville for-ward to be a mecca of the arts. I thinkit’s a good marriage.

I’m excited for The ‘Ville, and I’mexcited for the community to have this.I’ve grown up a fan of arts and enter-tainment.

Q. The City of Milledgevillereceived a black eye from somenational media publications duringthe Ben Roethlisberger investigation.How do you think this community,which has so much to offer culturally,can move past such misconceptions?

A. We have to remember we didn’tinvite that gentleman to Milledgeville.Anytime you have a rare situation wherethere’s a very famous person in a smalltown, people are going to make theirjudgments. I think, as they say, this tooshall pass. There are too many peoplehere who care about Milledgeville, and Ithink we just need to continue to move

forward with things like promoting artsand entertainment and continue to showthat Milledgeville has art and culturalsignificance.

Q. What areas do you think need tobe strengthened to build greater com-munication in local government?Build community involvement?

A. Now that I have a different per-spective, I think it’s really easy to sitback and make assumptions and com-plain. Trying to stay positive whenthings are going a little downhill is morethe challenge. There’s strength in num-bers. The best business people don’t sitaround and wait for success. They go getit.

Q. At recent community forums,there has been some discussion of con-solidation of city and county services.What are your thoughts on consolida-tion?

A. I grew up in Athens, and from ayoung age I watched the consolidationprocess in Athens. I am aware of thebenefits. Right now, what we need isstability, however. I would be interestedin ideas on some departments consoli-dating so we develop and formulateideas and see how things work.

There are a lot of financial issues toconsider — people’s retirement and oth-ers. I’m not opposed to consolidation, Ijust think we need to consider it smalland carefully. I think any big undertak-ing needs a template.

There is no community in the south-east [Georgia] that I’ve found [with apopulation similar to Milledgeville’s]that has consolidated. I think any bigundertaking needs a template.

Q. What have you learned specifi-cally about the 4th District in yourconversations with constituents andbusiness owners?

A. My district is such a unique dis-trict. Part of the south side of town isincluded in my district. We also have thedowntown area, which is undergoing afacelift right now. Then there are thecolleges. It’s a neat combination of a lotof different things in a small district. AsI said as I was running for office, I’mtrying to extend the lines of communica-tion [within the district and among con-stituents] and get people really workingtogether. When you put them together,you can come up with some very goodideas.

Q. What response have you gottenfrom constituents about the nextphase of Streetscape?

A. I think a large majority of peopleunderstand why we’re doingStreetscape. Take for exampleStreetscape Phase I … [despite earlyopposition and concerns] once it wasdone, it was roundly said that it wasbeautiful and it made a difference. It wasreally a welcome addition. I think themajority of people know that when this

phase is done it will make a differenceand look beautiful as well.

Q. Looking at the remainder of2010 and looking forward to 2011,where does Milledgeville go fromhere?

A. It’s tough to be patient in timeslike these. Patience doesn’t feed yourfamily, but there are a lot of leaders thatare very clearly aware of the challenges.

I think Milledgeville has too muchpride and determination to fail.

I was prepared for a lot of what I’veexperienced [on Council]. I had to learnthat when issues come up, well-inten-tioned people always have their opinionsof the good of the City of Milledgeville.Being able to respond to those opinionsand being able to work with people iswhat I enjoy most.

Q. What have you learned aboutyourself during the first six months ofthis experience and what do you lookmost forward to as a member ofCouncil in the future?

A. I’ve learned that even though Iwas very involved in the city before get-ting elected, I now have a very uniqueperspective on how things work andhow they don’t work. There are a lot ofpeople who care greatly aboutMilledgeville, and they put in a lot oftime in helping to make things better. Ittakes a special kind of person to be ableto be patient with the process. I’velearned patience, and no matter what I

always want to make a decision that isin the best interest of the entire City ofMilledgeville. I want to always do whatI think is right in my heart forMilledgeville. I want to look at thisprocess as a one-term process, meaningI want to use these four years that I haveto make the district better for the personwho works after me. I’m following inthe legacy of a person who served thisdistrict very well. He put me in a betterplace to serve this district. I hope I canfollow that legacy.

When it comes to preference forpreparation type, sushi often initiatesdebate amongst friends.

Some people are turned off by thethought of eating raw fish, while otherscannot get enough. If you haven’t beenbrave enough to venture into a sushibar, Kuroshima Sushi & Steakhousewill surprise you with its variety ofmenu options for all kinds of sushiconnoisseurs.

Earlier this week I dined atKuroshima’s and ordered three deli-cious specialty sushi rolls. Each hadtheir own distinctive taste and will sat-isfy any customer — whether they’re asushi addict like me or they’re new tothis Japanese-style of cuisine.

Sushi rolls at Kuroshima’s run any-where from $3.25 to $11.95. Most ofthe rolls are eight pieces, but they alsooffer six-piece rolls for anyone lookingto enjoy a small meal.

To start off, I tried the Philadelphiaroll, a good choice for first-time sushieaters. Priced at $5.50, this eight-pieceroll is filled with salmon, cream cheeseand avocado. Yes, I know it has rawfish in it, but trust me this sushi rollwill not let your taste buds down. Ifyou are still hesitant about eating rawfish, try the California roll. It’s thebasic roll of sushi that consists of anouter layer of rice wrapped around asheet of seaweed that firmly holdstogether crabstick, small pieces of

cucumber and a dab of avocado. The next two rolls I tried were

excellent. The Rainbow roll is a sushiroll all seafood lovers must try. Pricedat $9.95, this eight-piece roll is a basicCalifornia roll with tuna, fluke (tilapia)and salmon draped on top of it. It’s sureto satisfy your seafood cravings. Thefinal roll I tasted was my favorite, asdeep fried sushi rolls have always beenat the top of my list. The Spicy TunaTempura roll met all of my expecta-tions. Priced at $6.50, this eight-pieceroll is a deep fried spicy tuna roll witha spicy mayo and eel sauce drizzled ontop. This roll had a spicy and sweet

taste to it. If you aren’t in the mood for sushi,

Kuroshima Sushi & Steakhouse alsooffers a variety of Japanese cuisine.Next time you’re looking for a greatplace to dine, run over to KuroshimaSushi & Steakhouse. They offer excel-lent service, amazing food and a greatatmosphere for its customers to dine in.

WWhhoo’’ss aaffrraaiidd ooff tthhee bbiigg bbaadd ssuusshhii??Cast your fears aside, Kuroshima satisfies everyone from novices to sushi addicts

When I received the invitation towrite this column, I happened to beenjoying a room temperature ale in twomugs, haphazardly filled with head froma hasty pour, in the renownedMcSorley’s pub in New York City.

They serve one beer: their own.Honestly, it’s nothing special, but look-ing around the century and a half oldpub I noticed an eclectic mix of peopleenjoying the brew and merriment, maleand female alike.

Beer has that power of indiscriminatelikeability. Regardless if you’re contentwith the mass marketed and readilyavailable standards or if you prefer aunique one-off seasonal crafted by amicro-brewer without glitz or fan fare,ultimately it is beer that tickles yourfancy like no liquor or wine is able.

Writing a column on beer requiresknowledge and respect for both kinds ofpalates. However, it also implies explor-ing beyond brews available anywhere atanytime.

My first recommendation is indeed asummer seasonal. There are many greatsummer offerings out there this year, butSamuel Adams Summer Ale on draft ismy debut choice. It beautifully offers arefreshing easiness, which is a must inMilledgeville’s hot humid summers, butat the same time, surprises me with itsmany nuances. It touts that it is brewedwith lemon zest and grains of paradise,but after a few sips its flavor profileexudes much more. Not only are subtletastes of lemon present, but also emerg-ing are hints of peach and mango deli-cately balanced with a gentle pepperybite.

Samuel Adams Summer Ale can befound in a bottle by the six-pack at ourlocal package stores and a few grocerystores. The bottled edition is definitelyworthy of praise, but on draft, servedaround 38 degrees, this beer reallyshines.

To taste for yourself check out TheBrick in Downtown Milledgeville.Cheers.

culture

By NATALIE DAVIS

Ryan Lyons is a recent transplant to Milledgeville, but even though he’s stillfamiliarizing himself with the area, that certainly doesn’t mean he can’t recognize itspotential.

Where downtown storefronts sit presently idle, Lyons sees an arts and culturalmovement on the horizon, and he aims to make his church a major part of the trans-formation.

Perusing the downtown area, Lyons spends his days getting to knowMilledgeville, its people and its culture, scoping out locales to plant his new churchhome.

For Lyons, lead pastor of New City Milledgeville, the downtown area and all itscultural promise, is the perfect backdrop.

“We believe that’s the central hub here, of where arts and culture is happening,and we really want to engage that,” said Lyons of his church. “We want to go wherethe people are and be a part of that.”

New City Milledgeville is less than conventional in its cultural approach. “We believe God is creator and that he created everything, and he’s done so with

creativity,” said Lyons. Creativity through arts and music is evidence of the image of God, he said. “We want to celebrate that,” said Lyons. “We don’t want to run from that.”The church prides itself on being neither fundamentalist nor liberal, but instead

rooted in the foundation of Biblical principles and values.“We don’t want to pretend like nothing matters,” said Lyons. “We just want to be

what we believe is the model of Jesus.”Rather, he says, the aim is to speak the good news of the Gospel through culture

to all voices and all people. The idea to establish New City Milledgeville actually came together several

months back when Lyons, who hails from Warner Robins and lived in Louisville,Ky. for the past six years, had a conversation with New City Downtown Macon leadpastor Keith Watson.

“I had a conversation with [Watson]. New City Macon was already wanting toplant a church in Milledgeville … [and] we moved down this way.”

Several weeks since that initial conversation, Watson agrees that Milledgeville isfilled with promise.

His church is actively involved in community, arts and culture in the downtownMacon area, playing host to local artists and bands, open mic performances, and giv-ing back to local causes, serving as a blueprint for New City Milledgeville.

“When we started we rented a 1,600 square foot storefront space on Cherry Streetin Macon,” said Watson of New City Macon’s beginnings. “We knew from the startwe didn’t just want a typical church building, and we really wanted to connect withthe community in Macon.”

The Macon church hosts art openings once a month for local artists, with a differ-ent artist’s work displayed and sold each month in the church gallery and the artistskeep the profits.

“We wanted to use our space for the arts,” said Watson. “We wanted to be a part

of Macon’s revitalization.” New City Milledgeville aims to do the same. With the Macon church as a model, Lyons says the church aims to work both in

the community and with the community. “[Downtown] is the place where all different groups of people come to,” he said.But, while the church has a heavy focus on celebrating the arts, it’s not just open

to creative types. “We just want to be a church that loves all types of people,” said Lyons. “Our

mission at New City Church Milledgeville is to see the Gospel transform everythingwithin our reach — ourselves, our church, our city and the world.”

Watson says Macon and similarly Milledgeville both embody and imbue the cul-ture of the colleges that surround the cities, and it’s imperative that the local com-munity hold on to that.

“I think it is a wonderful part both for Macon and Milledgeville, because themusic and visual arts — it’s an attraction to the creatives,” said Watson. “Ratherthan having those students come and go, what we would ultimately have them do iscome and stay.”

Lyons and New City Milledgeville are still looking for just the right downtownvenue, but in the meantime, Lyons is enjoying getting to know the people ofMilledgeville — their hopes, their dreams and their cultural ambitions.

“We want to participate in the city — in the city and for the city.”

Engraining New City Milledgeville long-term into the local fabric and culture.

“We’re just excited,” he said. “I’m just really excited to see the church start here.To see a church that doesn’t run from the culture it’s in.”

Said Lyons: “It seems like downtown [Milledgeville] is moving in that direction.We at New City want to help in fueling that.”

...liberty andhealthcare for all?We love to hear what people think about the current issues thataffect us all and it’s always interesting to hear a man’s take onsomething as opposed to a woman’s take on the same issue. Here atthe ‘Ville we posed the question “How do you feel about the newfederal healthcare bill?” to see how both men and women reacted.Below are two of those responses.

Frank Williams “I think that healthcare shouldstay the way it was. There wasnothing wrong with the way thatthings were going. I’m veryagainst it, and there was nothingthat needed to be fixed. It willjust cause problems in the longrun, and I don’t want to have topay extra money for people whodon’t work, or wait in line forhours in order to see a doctor for“free.” I hate the whole thing.”

Christina Pratt“I work at a pharmacy, so I get

to see firsthand government aidfor healthcare. I wouldn’t saythat I am opposed to it because Idon’t think that anyone shouldbe denied the right to healthcare,but at the same time I think thatthere are plenty of people whoare, and will abuse it. So unlessthere are some strict regulations,I don’t necessarily know if it isthe best idea.”

“It Still Moves,” My Morning Jacket

My Morning Jacket's2003 album is deep stride away fromprevious albums. Their first under DaveMatthews' label ATO Records, Jim Jones'songwriting is tighter than a new pair ofsneaks and the production holds true totheir sung-in-a-silo echo.

Notable songs: “Golden,” “Mahgeetah,”“One Big Holiday”

Artists also worth a listen: Wilco, TheBlack Keys, Drive-By-Truckers

“Everything All The Time,” Band ofHorses

Debut albums, hate to say it, end upbeing an artist's best hit. And yes,“Everything All The Time” is great. Butlike a fine cheese, this band's music hasonly gotten better. Singer Ben Bridwell'ssinging isn't despairing when he says,"At every occasion, I'm ready for afuneral," nor is it self-absorbed. Thereare no coffeehouse acoustic aesthetics inthis album. Instead, there are roaring gui-tars and reverberating vocal melodies, allwrapped in a patience meant for sur-geons.

Notable songs: “Great Salt Lakes,” “TheFuneral,” “The First Song”Artists also worth a listen: Fleet Foxes,The National, Arcade Fire

Trouble, Ray LaMontagne

Singer-Songwriter Ray LaMontagne'svoice cannot be ignored. If he wassinging any lecture, everyone's earswould melt from sheer emotion. But withany lecture, the same tempo can put theclass to sleep. The same goes forLaMontagne's slow-tempo rhythm. ButLaMontagne's seriousness and raw emo-tion lets you forgive any dullness a lis-tener might feel.

Notable songs: “Jolene,” “Trouble,”“Hold You In My Arms”Artists also worth a listen: Bon Iver, VanMorrison, David Gray

Kim Bradley

“Habits,” Neon Trees

Recently emergedband Neon Trees has a lot going on. A

female drummer, a mohawk reminiscentof The Misfits, and they’re from Utah(...what?). But their undeniably catchysingle, “Animal,” claps up and down thetrack enough to convert anyone.

Notable songs: “Animal”, “Sins of MyYouth,” “Your Surrender”Artists also worth a listen: Two DoorCinema Club, Mike Snow, The Killers

“Far,” Regina Spektor

Regina Spektor's fifth album has every-thing you'd expect. Spektor's now notori-ous baby-like coos, a strong pianomelody, and notes high enough to knockout Bob Marley. But in some ways, that'snot enough. By number five, an artist iswell-seasoned with major stride awayfrom their first attempt but Spektor'snoise-based chorus in "Eet" isn't neces-sarily growth.

Notable songs: “Blue Lips”, “Eet” Artists also worth a listen: Rilo Kiley,Ingrid Michaelson, Kate Nash

“I and Love and You,” The Avett Brothers

Notable songs: “Head Full ofDoubt/Road Full of Promises,” “I andLove and You,” “January Wedding” Artists also worth a listen: BlitzenTrapper, My Morning Jacket, Old CrowMedicine Show

EmilyDavidson

“Treats,” Sleigh Bells

Notable songs: “Rill Rill,” “Tell 'Em,”“Crown on The Ground”Artists also worth a listen: M.I.A., ToroY Moi, Neon Indian

“Teen Dream,” Beach House

Notable Songs: “Lover of Mine,”“Norway,” “Silver Soul”Artists also worth a listen: Girls, St.Vincent, Local Natives

“The Lonesome Crowed West,” ModestMouse

Notable Songs: “Heart Cooks Brain”,“Doin the Coachroach,” “Out of Gas”Artists also worth a listen: Built to Spill,Ugly Cassanova, Wolf Parade

Jamie Coats

“Twilight” series byStephanie Meyer

To say the Twilightseries has swept the nation would be ahuge blood-engorged understatement.But all that aside, Stephanie Meyer's firstforay into writing does its job right withdreamy love interests, longingly stares,fights over the heart of Belle (metaphori-cally and literally). It’s a classic boy-fights-for-girl love story, plus a few vam-pires, werewolves and superpowers. Soit’s normal?

Bobby Jones

“Go Tell It On TheMountain,” byJames Baldwin

James Baldwin'ssemi-autobiographical 1953 novel aboutan African-American family, which pri-marily focuses on one man’s coming ofage and the troubles his family’s pastcontain. A classic amid African-American writings.

Chelsee Dickson

“This Side ofParadise,” by F. ScottFitzgerald

Fitzgerald's first novel, five years beforehis more notable book “The GreatGatsby,” centers on Fitzgerald's favoritetopic — the poor, the rich and the rela-tionships between the two. Many of thecharacters are based on Fitzgerald's earlylife, including the main character AmoryBlaine (based on himself).

By LAUREN DAVIDSON

It was her first time back to her home-town of Milledgeville. On a January after-noon she stepped into Blackbird Coffee andnoticed that the establishment was featur-ing art by local artists. Looking aroundKim Joris, owner of The FolksArt Gallery,thought to herself, “Wow this is not theMilledgeville I grew up in, I could comehome.”

“Their space inspired me, with the wallshow they were.” she recently recalled.

After leaving the coffee shop, shewalked further down the street and noticeda building. After stepping inside and learn-ing of the space’s availability, she decidedto come back to her hometown.

Before returning to Milledgeville sheresided in Brasstown, N.C. where shetaught recycle art classes at John C.Campbell Folk School and Little/MiddleFolk School. In the past she has taughtmany classes to children, middle schooland high school students and even seniorcitizens.

Although she made a ‘D’ in her first highschool art class, Joris eventually found away to express herself through folk art.Joris speaks passionately about herthoughts on this genre of art.

“I think it’s true, it’s honest, and for mefork art basically speaks to my soul,” saidJoris. She is inspired by the folk art genreand loves the work done by artists such asRuby Williams, Rob Withrow and the lateHoward Finster.

Her gallery, The FolksArt Gallery,opened its doors to the public May 5 at 108W. Hancock St. The gallery houses art cre-ated by anyone from an untrained artist toan art major at Georgia College & StateUniversity.

Joris says they will have a variety of arthung on their walls.

“We’re going to have a variety but mostof it will be some sort of folk art. There’smixed media, pottery, clay, raku, recycle art(reuse art), acrylics and we might end upwith color pencil drawings,” said Joris.

The Milledgeville community not onlyhas the chance to view the beautiful art-work hung on the walls of the FolksArtGallery, but they will also have the chanceto participate in various art classes heldwithin the gallery. At these classes, differ-ent artist, designers, potters and jewelerswill put on demonstrations.

“It’s an opportunity to basically meet theartist, many of whom are from theMilledgeville area and or have connectionsto Milledgeville,” Joris said.

It’s the summer of 2008, and acrossthe airwaves, the sing-songy track“Good Day” is gaining steam forMilledgeville native Melvin “FishScales” Adams and his Nappy Rootsbandmates.

The single helped to establish thegroup’s third release, “The Humdinger,”garnering Top 10 standing on theBillboard Rap charts.

Now flash-forward as the rappingquintet returns this summer with theirfollow-up release, “The Pursuit ofNappyness,” which stays true to theirSouthern roots.

The group’s fourth official release,“Pursuit,” is true to Nappy Roots form,rich on wordplay extolling the virtues ofback roads and the slow and syrupyelixir of Southern life.

With lyrics that take listeners “deepdown in the streets of Georgia,” asScales expounds on the lead track,“Ride,” this and other songs such as“Come Back Home,” and “Right Place,”tout the virtues of staying positive andstaying true to your roots, while trackslike “All for You,” pay homage to theirfans and loyal listeners.

In a 2008 interview, Adams elaborat-ed on the group’s positive mindset.

“We don’t rap about being gang-sters,” he said, “or being killers. Wealways try to bring something positive.”

Adams, a 1995 Baldwin High Schoolgrad, met up with Kentucky nativesSkinny DeVille, B. Stille, Ron Clutch,Big V and Oakland, Calif. native R.Prophet back in the 1990s while attend-ing Western Kentucky University on abasketball scholarship. R. Prophet hassince left the group, which now per-forms as a quintet.

They came onto the national hip-hopscene back in 2002 with their debutmulti-platinum album, “Watermelon,Chicken and Gritz,” on the Atlanticlabel, which featured the hit-singles“Headz Up,” “Awnaw,” and “Po' Folks.”

The group has since gone the inde-pendent route, under Nappy RootsEntertainment Group, releasing mix

tapes along the way. “The Pursuit of Nappyness,” recently

hit stores and iTunes with the debut sin-gle, “Ride.”

True Nappy Roots fans can appreci-ate that they don’t extend themselves toofar from their typical comfort zone. Thegroup members are and forever will becountry born and bred and their musicstill reflects it, yet they’re not afraid topaint lyrical images of societal issuessuch as the economy and war.

Overall, they’re still mellow,Southern and staying positive.

As Fish Scales puts it on the album’sdebut single: “Sometimes, you just gottaride.”

My Style:Joanna Sullivan

By DANIELLE PALUGA

There are some fabulous and well-dressed people in Milledgeville, and oneneeds only to walk downtown to seethem.

One of these is GCSU student JoannaSullivan. She is a freshman mass com-munication student whose main goal inlife it to work at Vogue and meet lots ofdifferent people.

When she was spotted on the streetdowntown, Sullivan was wearing Tomsshoes she painted herself. She lovesToms Shoes because of their charitabledeeds.

“I painted my shoes like loafersbecause I really like menswear,” saidSullivan.

This menswear obsession is certainlyunique, and by it she doesn’t meandressing like a man — just that you canadapt whatever into your wardrobe. Shelikes more masculine pieces like herloafers, but she often pairs them withfrilly tops to keep the outfit lookingfeminine.

A belt and a shirt from her favoritestore, J. Crew, topped off one recentoutfit, mixed with shorts fromAnthropologie.

She loves shopping, which is obviousby her great style. She often shops whenshe goes home to Atlanta, but she shopshere in town too.

“The French Vill’edge is like a littleoasis here in Milledgeville,” Sullivansaid.

Sullivan, who writes her own fashionblog, promotes shopping at vintagestores to save money as well.

Like any fashionista, Sullivan hasfashion pet peeves. She loves unique-ness and hates when people dress thesame. She challenges people to breakout of the mold and stop wearing sweat-pants to class or just black suits to work.

On her inspirations Sullivan citesclassic beauties like Grace Kelly for herelegance and charm.

“Everyday people inspire me some-times and I try to adapt different aspectsof their style into mine,” said Sullivan

Sullivan enjoys going to school inMilledgeville.

“This town is underrated. The peopleare extremely friendly, and its architec-ture inspires me everyday,” saidSullivan.

She has a local favorite restaurant inAubri Lane’s. She loves their cuisine.

“They blend classic Southern foodwith a little uptown flair.”

The Black Box Theatre, inside thenewly renovated Campus Theatre, isalive with the promise of a new space,productions grand in scale, and adeeper knowledge of the art of theater.

After Georgia College purchasedthe dilapidated building in 2008, plansfor its use took effect and in April, thegrand opening of the building was metwith great enthusiasm.

The Black Box Theatre will debutits first large performance Nov. 9,which will run through Nov. 14, andthe 17th through the 21st.

Iona Pendergast, who teaches atheatrical heritage course at GeorgiaCollege, will direct “SteelMagnolias.”

The production is based off of theoff-Broadway play written by RobertHarling to express his devastation atthe death of his sister. Steel Magnoliaswas also made into an award winningfilm of the same name.

The plot line revolves around sixSouthern women who endureheartache due to a close friend’s strug-gle with Type 1 diabetes, and share

laughter along the way. The play isdeeply emotional; however there is awide vein of humor that gives way toan emotional catharsis that shouldinspire the audience to bestow a stand-ing ovation. It is the perfect play to beshared with close friends and family.

Audition dates are set for Aug. 17,and callbacks are Aug. 18. The playcalls for six women, and the entiretyof the play takes place in Truvy’sBeauty Parlor.

“I’m a traditionalist,” Pendergastexplained. “I’m going to stick to thescript and not add in additional char-acters like the movie did. The energybetween six very strong Southernwomen will be enough without everhaving to add anyone. It’s going to bea very heart-warming story to remindus all that life goes on.”

Steel Magnolias is part of GeorgiaCollege & State University’s “Seasonof Home” lineup. Many of the produc-tions set to take place in the fall ofthis year feature a strong Southern tie,and fascinating characters to inspirethe audience and celebrate Southernpride. The lineup is a collaborativeeffort of the entire theater department.

The Black Box Theatre not onlyserves as a showcase, but also as ahands-on classroom. Actors who par-ticipate in higher-level acting classescan hone their skills in this profession-al-style black box theater, while hav-ing plenty of room to maneuveraround props, backdrops and scripts.Before the theater was available forstudent use, actors were confined toclassrooms not suitable for a true pic-ture of how the blocking and stagedirections should be carried out. Nowthat the theater is available for class-room use, it is easier for both studentand teacher to perfect the fine craft ofacting and teaching alike. Largerclassrooms on the third wing of thetheater are also available for use. Theimmense dressing room features largelights and full mirrors in which theactors can apply makeup for a show,or look on to a makeup lecture. Insidethe dressing room, a full washer anddryer are available to wash costumesafter a show and the room can alsohouse a full wardrobe.

Steel Magnolias will feature 8o’clock showings every night and a 2o’clock Sunday matinee.

‘Steel Magnolias’ unveiled as first major production for Black Box Theatre
