Occupied....

I have been following theoccupy movements for sometime now. It’s sad to see how thecurrent economic “downturn”has affected so many people.

I follow the tumblr page andcan’t seem to wonder what theend will be for people so devas-tated by debt and lack of work.

I wondered at first if most ofthese people were just realizingthe effects of bad decision mak-ing. Then as you read more ontumblr you see that several areeither college graduates or stu-dents trying to graduate. For themost part these seem to be folkswho want to work.

I don’t mean to imply that Iam exempt from hardshipbecause of our economy. I amnot. I just have the mindset that

I have to work harder, put inmore hours and constantly try topull myself out of the situationthat I am in. But I am not in thesame boat that many Occupiersare in. I have not lost my job ormy home. So while some deci-sions are tough each month westill get by ok.

Here’s the thing though. WhatI really like about the Occupymovement is just the actual con-cept of it. That we the people dohave a voice to be heard.

Take the Bank of America fias-co. They tried to charge a fee touse debit cards. Their customersoutraged so they backpedeled.What about Netflix? Same thing.Companies are beginning to seethat they have to listen to theircustomers. The government andWall Street are going to have tolisten to the occupy movement.

Are we so different from theseother nations that have seen theirgovernments overthrown by peo-ple demanding change?

That was the platform at thelast election was it not? We allwant change. We need change.

I’m not saying to overthrowthe government. God no, by nomeans am I saying that. I amsaying that we as American citi-zens do not have to be subject towhatever isforced on us.We are ademocracy.Let yourvoice beheard people.

By JAMES HENDERSHOTT

Milledgeville Bike Polo recently hosteda Brawl Tournament. Set up as a Swissround double elimination tournamentwith teams from around the southeast, itturned into a battle of neighboring rivals,with Athens bringing down two teams —Stay at Home Dads and Team Venture —and Milledgeville with three teams —Your Mom, Mister Es and HoneyBadgers. The lone foreigner was Davidfrom Cincinnati on The Honey Badgers.This was going to be the battle of all bat-tles: Athens versus Milledgeville. Who wasgoing to win?

Saturday started off with the usual lol-lygagging and bikes falling apart, but thatdid not decrease the polo action going oninside of the newly-built walls. Stay atHome Dads showed their dominanceearly on in the tournament by goingundefeated in seeding and winning onlyone game by more than three points.Strong defense was the star of the after-noon with half of all the games beingdecided by time. This was a good indica-tor of the level of polo being played insidethe walls.

After 10 games of seeding, Stay atHome Dads was No. 1 with a record of 4-0, followed closely by The Honey Badgerswith a 3-1 record (only loss coming fromthe Stay at Home Dads) and the No. 3seed was Mister Es with a 2-2 record.

For those who are keeping up, that’sMilledgeville with a 6-6 record andAthens with a 4-4 record after ten gamesof seeding. Which team was going tocome out victorious was still up in the air;all that was left was nine games. Greatpolo was the story again with six gamesdecided by time and seven games decidedby three points or less.

Your Mom started it all off with a close3-2 victory over Team Venture. After that,the defense-strong Honey Badgers defeat-ed the Mister Es 4-2. The Honey Badgershad eleven blocks in that game withMichael Packard as the star of that gamewith all four goals coming from hisimpeccable skill of placing the ball right

where it needs to go. The Stay at Home Dads got the ball

rolling with a 5-1 victory over Your Mom.Team Venture was then eliminated with a4-2 loss coming from the Mister Es. Stayat Home Dads once again showed theirdominance with a 3-0 victory over TheHoney Badgers and delivered the onlyshutout of the night.

In a game coming from the losersbracket, the Mister Es were kept alive bydominating Your Mom in a 5-1 fashion.

Mister Es and The Honey Badgersthen faced off in a game deciding whichwould play an undefeated Stay at HomeDads in the championship game.

James Hendershott led The HoneyBadgers with three goals and a 5-2 victory.

Then — the championship match: sev-eral hours of polo and numerous cans ofHigh Life later, it came down to Athensversus Milledgeville.

Stay at Home Dads came into thismatch undefeated and only had to winone last game to claim victory, and TheHoney Badgers only two losses comingfrom the Stay at Home Dads; this wassure to be the match up of the night.Both teams lined up, commentator/wheeldominator Chris Avirett counted off 3-2-1POLO!

Hendershott and Zach raced for thejoust and with a great smack Hendershottmade a shot that went through the topleft portion of the goal to start off thematch 1-0.

The first six minutes was a flury ofwheels and mallets with blocked shotszooming off wheel covers. MichaelPackard made an elegant in-front-of-the-wheel shot from the right side to score inthe five-hole under Markie Mark. With a2-0 lead The Honey Badgers were settlinginto their rhythm of Packard andHendershott up front and Cincinnati pro-tecting the goal like his life depended onit. This flow was disrupted by a shot madeby Eric Lewis that went underHendershott’s frame. Tension was heatingup, and the score was 2-1.

Packard and Hendershott then pickedup the pace and each put two more away

before time ran out and ended the game4-2. It was now down to the last game ofthe night, and both teams had only lost toeach other the whole tournament. Onceagain the teams lined up and Avirettcounted them off.

The first half of the game was similarto the last with defense being the decidingfactor. Hendershott once again drew firstblood and made it 1-0. This lasted severalminutes until Zach put a point on theboard for Stay at Home Dads. Now 1-1with time running out, polo was at itszenith for the evening.

What was going to happen? The roarfrom the crowd was deafening with folkscheering for their favorite team and beat-ing on the boards with an animalistic pas-sion only found on a polo court. The timewas now over and it was down to the nextpoint. With every shot now eliciting agroan or a cheer from the crowd, the play-ers battled it out for the next goal.

Finally Packard recovered a blockedshot from Eric Lewis and drove up theright side of the court to put the final bitof icing on the cake and secure the winfor The Honey Badgers. Bikes and malletswere tossed aside as The Honey Badgerscongratulated their opponents for a greatgame of polo and then each other for a

job well done. Jack Morris was the winner of the

Kiroshima Hottest Mallet award with 17goals for the day, and Ben Cosey won theKiroshima Strongest Defense award with21 blocks.

The next day consisted of a pancakebreakfast to cure the hangover blues fol-lowed by some pick up polo action.

Milledgeville Bike Polo would like tothank all who contributed to a greatweekend of polo. The fantastic court thatwas played on couldn’t have happenedwithout the support from Lowe's ofMilledgeville and Oconee Outfitters aswell as all those involved in the buildingprocess. Andrew Whittaker was a big rea-son for us securing the location of theIrwin St commuter lot. Tom Wise wasable to capture all of the exciting actionon film and video.

The trophy was donated by Kim Jorisof FolksArt, and additional prizes weredonated by Barberitos and Kiroshima.

Finally a big thank you goes out to allwho participated in the tournament; fromthe spectators to the athletes. We look for-ward to seeing everybody next year!

Vertical leaps, wall vaults, landing jumps and rolling to safety — all movementsspecific to a sport new to the southeast called free running. The term ‘free running’ was originally meant to start as an anglicized term forParkour, which is defined by the purpose to "get somewhere quickly and effi-ciently using the human body.” However, free running is considered the “cousin”Parkour, consisting of more expressive and creative movements, such as acrobat-ics, flips, and spins added for flair.Georgia Military College students, Felipe Cavalcanci, Steven Wilkins and ChrisLee have taken the first steps to start a free running group within the collegecommunities in Milledgeville. Lee’s interest in the sport started back in March after watching Jump City, a tele-vision show about Parkour and free running filmed in Seattle, Wash. Soon after-ward, Lee found Cavalcanci and Wilkins, and they started running together. “It’s no fun to do it by yourself,” Lee said. “You have no way of improving yourskills. We want to get as many people interested as possible.”Pick up next month’s ‘Ville for a more in depth and first-hand look into theworld of free running and come along as we take get a first-hand experience.

“I’m increasing my spending this year. I don’t reallyspend my money during the year, so Christmas timeis my time to spend. I’ve never made my own gifts,but I have printed off pictures to put in frames orput in collages for my friends.”

— Catherine Bowlin

“I would like to decrease spending this yearbecause it is already too commercial. I would liketo see our family take the money we would havepurchased gifts with and give it to charities.Christmas is for children, and our 5-year-old sonwill definitely have a wonderful Christmas. I’d liketo decrease, but more than likely we will be spend-ing about the same.”

— Joe Hancock

“Now that I have a job, I might buy a few giftsfor a couple of my friends. I’ll mostly be buyinggifts for family though. Unless the gift has some-thing to do with construction, I don’t think I’veever made my own gifts.”

— Lucas Murray

“This year I’ll be decreasing my spending. Thebills keep going up and up and gas has beenexpensive this year. For friends and family I’mthinking about cooking. I like to give to charity.It gets me in the giving mood and I always feellike a better person.”

“I make my own Christmas gifts. I make jelliesand jams and I plan on making gift baskets forfamily and friends. I’m spending less. The econo-my is tough and everything is more expensive.”

Hot Potato

6 NOVEMBER 2011

Big turkey meals await us in thenear future and, unless Mom orGrandma have a problem with it, thisis the perfect time to try a new beer.

Most followers of this column knowI am not a fan of fruit in my beer. I donot care for fruit-flavored beer and Ido not care for a piece of fruit in mybeer. To each his own. THERE AREEXCEPTIONS to my steadfast revoltof fruit mixed with malt, barley andhops!

Thanksgiving meals, more impor-tantly anytime I am forced to eatturkey breasts, I go for fruity beer.There is something about a fruity beerthat enhances the caramelized skin of aturkey and offers a sweetness that cran-berry sauce too often takes too far.

I recommend something subtle insweetness, not over powering like ajolly rancher (that is what bad cranber-ry sauce is for); I recommend MagicHat #9. The Vermont brewery consid-ers #9, “a beer cloaked in secrecy”with “a sort of dry, crisp, refreshing,not-quite pale ale” finish.

Magic Hat’s flagship beer #9 proba-bly doesn’t classify itself a fruity beer,but one sip and you will undeniablytaste undertones of apricots. Alsoworth mentioning is the subtle taste oftoasted malts.

These subtle or muted tastes allowturkey to be bearable, and with a 5.1abv, your family will be too!

Cheers!

BAND REVIEWS“The Queen is Dead” - The Smiths’

The Smiths’ third album, released in 1986, is full of sweetMorrissey crooning from beginning to end. The track list isphenomenal, featuring crazy stark imagery in “BigmouthStrikes Again,” pictures of haunting dullness in “Frankly Mr.Shankly,” and a weird religious bubbly feeling that you getfrom “There is a Light That Never Goes Out.” It’s a good bal-ance between Morrissey’s sad, crooning longing for love andacceptance and Johnny Marr’s upbeat guitar, almost pushingMorrissey further off the edge,” says Samuel Williams, localSmiths aficionado.

Brent Tripp, another local authority on the group, has thisto say: “The combination of Johnny Marr writing catchy riffsand Morrissey writing brilliant romantic lyrics about veryunromantic subject matter is absolutely amazing. They have tobe one of the most influential bands of all time.”

“The Queen is Dead” puts the listener into a sweet state oflonging for solace; “The Queen is Dead” is a record that youenjoy on your own. (The first time I heard this album all theway through, I found myself alone under a tree by the end ofit. Be prepared, you will too).

Notable tracks: Hear it all, and hear it all the way through.

“Faith Void Split Album”Editor’s note: This split was released on DC Records in

1982, and features two contemporary hardcore outfits.

“Faith”Michael Hampton (SOA, The Faith, Embrace, One Last

Wish), Chris Bald (Faith, Ignition), Alec MacKaye (TheUntouchables, Faith, Ignition, The Warmers) and Ivor Hanson(Faith, Embrace, Manifesto) play studied hardcore songs aboutproblems with people we don’t know. “I don’t want to hearyour problems – don’t tell me!”

“The Split” - Void

Who are these guys? They go for the dervish thing and theynail it.

Side A kicks and side B is some kind of appalling genius.Buy it or die. (And check in with our friends at dischord.comfor some nifty reissues by these bands as of last month!)

Scott Ulrich, a freshmanTheater major fromGeorgia College, nevermisses an opportunityfor great fashion.

By SARAH BETH ARIEMMA

Scott Ulrich is a freshman theatermajor at Georgia College who considershimself a fan of fashion. The Kennesawnative utilizes different styles to expresshimself on a daily basis. I met Scott atBlackbird, and was instantly impressed byhis effortless look and easy way of speak-ing.

“I don’t put a lot of thought into it. Ilike the more H&M type look, and I weara lot of band T-shirts from metal bands. Imix it up,” Ulrich said.

Ulrich shops at thrift stores, H&M,Old Navy, Target and Plato’s Closet.Mixing and matching formal pieces withinformal pieces is a huge trend right now,and Ulrich embraces the idea, but is allabout another trend era as well.

“I really love pieces reminiscent of the1950s. The clothes and hair were just real-ly classy and it is an era that has such acool style,” he said.

A fashion faux pas Ulrich can’t standhappens to cover the feet.

“I hate Uggs,” he said, laughing. “I’mnot a fan of suit jackets with T-shirts. Ithink it looks tacky.”

One thing that never goes out of styleis a philanthropic spirit and a desire to

help others. Luckily for us, Ulrich hasboth.

“I have a small Christian clothing linecalled Canon Clothing. Right now wehave a T-shirt designed for $12, and all ofthe proceeds go toward ending the sextrade in Nepal. It is a really huge problemthere, and anything we can do to help is agreat thing,” Ulrich said.

Ulrich wears bracelets designed by the“Red Thread Movement,” an organizationthat has partnered with Canon Clothes,has pledged to help end the horrors ofsexual slavery.

“I suppose in a way I’m using fashionto help better the world,” Ulrich said.

Ulrich was wearing an H&M bluecheckered top for $20, a cardigan sweaterfrom Target for $25, jeans from Plato’sCloset for $15, Vans Classics for $45, anda Casio watch given to him by his father.

“I wear a lot of Vans. They look goodwith jeans and even some slacks. They arealso very comfortable, and I definitely livein comfortable shoes,” he said.

Fashion is all about self-expression.Dressing to impress not only shows confi-dence, but it also shows a deep sign ofself-respect. In today’s world, dressingmatters. Ulrich’s advice to others is heart-felt and honest.

“Wear what you like. I hear so manypeople say, ‘oh I wish I could dress thisway or pull it off like so-and-so,’” Ulrichsaid. “But the thing is that you can wearanything. If you have enough confidence,you can look good in anything.Confidence is the most important part.”

FASHION

Thanksgiving is approaching. You’ll be with family; you’ll be with friends. You’ll bewith people who are all very offended if you don’t have “just a bite” of their tasty roast-ed/fried/baked goods. This is right before your January resolution to put that gymmembership to work. And it’s the holidays, it’s your last chance to really indulge beforeyou start the long haul on the road to the body of your dreams. You’ll get there.

These are the things you’ll tell yourself before it happens again and you have to coverup your brand new gut until you sweat it off at the end of Winter. Here’s some tips forthe interim period.

Big-skirted dresses with wide belts.The flowing skirt will minimize what’s underneath from certain angles. The big belt

will offset your pudgy bits and give you the illusion of an hourglass figure. If you canwork it, the dress might make you look like you’re from an era long past, before Twiggyand Moss, and something about our collective subconscious and shared memories ofthat time will make people think you’re hot.

1. Distract your audience2. Learn from the great magicians: if you can distract your audience with something

other than what you want them to see, it might just work. Wear big red sweatshirtswith giant pictures of Santa Claus, gigantic hoop earrings, cowboy boots, and frillysocks. Maybe even dye your hair green and get plastic surgery so that nobody knows it’syou.

Dress in dark colorsDark colors are said to hide any unwanted roundness. If anybody starts to catch on

to your drastic new wardrobe change, you and your newly-fat friends might have tostart a metal band. Here’s some name ideas to get you started: Turkey’s Last Breath,Deep-Fried Evil, Satanic Saturation.

Pull your pants upIf your pants sit below your hips, your waistband will end up as a shelf for your belly.

Pull your pants up to your belly button and practice holding your breath for extendedperiods of time. This technique should work for at least a few minutes.

Feign a pregnancyWalk around all day asking people if they want to feel your baby bump. Look across

the table during meals and look surprised when you exclaim, “I think I felt it kick!”Throw yourself a baby shower but only register for gifts that you can use, like pizzamakers or ice cream machines. Park in the expectant mothers’ spot at Kroger. (Youknow you wanted to anyways). This trick works a little easier for females, but if you’re amale and you pull it off well enough, you might land yourself on Oprah.

EMBRACE ITIf all else fails, and it will, you might just have to live with yourself until enough time

passes that you sweat it off. Be a trendsetter. Wear midriff shirts with horizontal stripes.Tell your friends that turkey/beer guts are so in right now. Proudly rub your belly whileyou’re checking out at Blackbird, and wink at the barista when you ask for extrawhipped cream.

Don’t worry too much about it. You still have beautiful eyes.

Happy Holidays, Samm

By SARAH BETH ARIEMMAThe Peacock’s Feet is a time honored literary journal for Georgia College’s undergrad program. The yearly jour-

nal is published spring semester and includes a wide variety of genres to showcase the immense talent of students.Peggy Des Jardines, the editor of this year’s journal. The highly-motivated editor has been involved in the publica-tion for years. Last year, she wrote for the publication, and this year, has taken over the reins for the journal.

“I’m a senior this year. I worked last year as the non-fiction editor. At the end of the year we have a receptionto unveil the book. I’ve been submitting for publication every year. We take poetry, fiction, non-fiction and art.We choose the cream of the crop when it comes to accepting submissions,” Des Jardines said.

Currently, the publication has a graduate assistant, a public relations assistant and five literary genre agentswho are pros at their genre. The publication only has enough room for the very best pieces.

“We usually set a page limit. It is usually around 20 poems, five or six non-fiction pieces, five or six fiction and20 pieces of art. It differs from year to year, though,” Des Jardines said.

Submission to The Peacock’s Feet does not only garner recognition, but also leaves room for potential prizemoney. The magazine features art, poetry and prose winners with a $100 prize, as well as the opportunity to readthe piece at the unveiling of the book in the spring. This year, the magazine will be having a music section for thefirst time.

The top winners for music will have an opportunity to play their original piece at Blackbird.“I really like working with the staff. They go above and beyond everything I ask them to do. We have a lot of

The Peacock’s Feet a celebrated treat

You go straight to jailMonopoly and going directly to jail have never combined in such a literal fashion: A

60-year-old Santa Fe woman went straight to you-know-where after allegedly stabbing

her boyfriend following a game of Monopoly gone wrong. Police say Laura Chavez

copped to attacking the 48-year-old man last week with a kitchen knife; he was “bleed-

ing heavily from his head and right wrist area” when authorities arrived shortly after

midnight. The man says she also cracked a glass bottle over his head. Chavez apparently thought her boyfriend was cheating at the game, which allegedly pre-cipitated the argument and attack, reports the Santa Fe New Mexican. Shocking sidenote: The two had reportedly been drinking. Sad side note: Her 10-year-old grandsonwas playing the game, too, and witnessed the arguing—but luckily went to bed beforethe stabbing. Chavez has been charged with aggravated battery and resisting and assault-ing a police officer, among other things.—Newser.com

False reportWhen 24-year-old Keith Gaylor called the cops to say that an armed burglar was tryingto get into his house, five squad cars rushed to his house and made an arrest. But theyreleased the suspect pretty fast after hearing her side of the story—they’re pretty surethat this “burglar” was actually a woman Gaylor met on Craigslist, and that he calledthe cops when she arrived because his live-in girlfriend had come home unexpectedly,the Colorado Springs Gazette reports. “When they started listening to the story, they said there’s more to the story than meetsthe eye,” a police spokeswoman explained. They’ve served Gaylor a summons for falsereporting to authorities, a misdemeanor.—Newser.com

Burnin’ down the storeLAKE CITY, Fla. — The battle for pizza supremacy has taken a wrong turn in Florida.Two managers of a Domino’s Pizza restaurant in Lake City, in north-central Florida,have been charged with burning down a rival Papa John’s location. The motive? Policesay one of the men admitted that he believed with his competitor out of the way, morepizza lovers would flock to his restaurant.The Papa John’s was gutted in the Oct. 20 fire.Both men — Sean Everett Davidson, 23, and Bryan David Sullivan, 22 — were bookedon an arson charge and were being held in jail.The Star-Banner of Ocala reports that police are still looking for an ignition device thatthe men claimed they made but did not use to start the fire.—The Associated Press

Peeping TomIs there anything sexier than smartphone footage of a woman going to the bathroom?Before you answer “OF COURSE,” put yourself in Deloyd Herman Wheatley III’sshoes. Specifically, put yourself in his shoes at his job at Memorial Hermann in theMedical Center.Put yourself in those shoes as you plant a phone in the unisex bathroom set up to takepictures. And then -- what the hell — take a picture of yourself doing it. That’s whatWheatley the Third did, according to KPRC.Wheatley, who has since been fired, was arrested and charged with trying to take illegalphotos in the bathroom.Police said he placed the phone in the bathroom, and the first woman to subsequentlyuse the facilities rather easily saw it, red light blinking.“Detectives said it did not take them long to find out the phone was Wheatley’s,”KPRC reports. “Police said he photographed himself hiding the phone in the restroom.”—The Houston Press

GC celebrates 15 year productionof “The Nutcracker”

By SARAH BETH ARIEMMA

Ballet shoes, a memorable dream and visions of sugar plums all call to mind one fan-tastic show: “The Nutcracker.” For 15 years the show has become a cherished holidaytradition for Milledgeville, often signifying the beginning of the holiday season for fam-ilies. Amelia Pelton, director of dance for Georgia College, has spent hours choreo-graphing the latest show.

“It is a big year for us. This year we’ve got something really special that we will dobefore each performance. We will introduce all of our former Claras and let the com-munity know what they have done after their run as Clara,” Pelton said.

Another special highlight is the Sugar Plum Tea. For the 10th anniversary, the SugarPlum Tea was a rousing success, and Pelton has decided to celebrate the 15th anniver-sary in the same way.

“It is only $5 per person to attend the tea, but we will have sweets, autographs fromthe cast members in their costumes and plenty of Nutcracker items for sale,” Peltonexplained.

The Sugar Plum Tea will be held from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 10.Tickets can be purchased online at gcsutickets.com. Tickets will be available at the door,but purchasing before the event ensures enough food and fun for everyone. The tea willbe held in the Sodexo formal dining room on Georgia College’s campus.

“I love choreographing the show every year,” Pelton said. “The fun part for me isputting everything together. The dances of ‘Snowflakes’ and ‘Ballet of the Flowers’ aregoing to be even more intricate this year. The GC Salsa Club will be dancing in theshow as ‘Latin America’ and the GC Cheerleaders will once again be the ‘Russians’ inthe show. They are always such a hit.”

Pelton rarely repeats choreography, so visitors who attended the show last year willbe surprised by all new routines, costumes and atmosphere. Mother Ginger has a newdress, as well as all of the dance students.

The show will take place Dec. 9 through Dec. 11 at Russell Auditorium. The audi-torium seats 985 people. Dec. 9 and 10 the show will begin at 7 p.m. and Sunday theshow will start at 2 p.m. Tickets are $12 for general seating and $8 for children under12 and GC students with valid IDs.

“Come out and celebrate our 15th year celebration,” Pelton said. “We hope to seeyou there.”

Q&AGeorgia College grad Tommy Cook cameon board with Digital Bridges two yearsago after earning his MBA from GC.Since that time, his graduate school proj-ect, Shop Local Milledgeville has spawnedinto a local movement focusing on pro-moting small business and local businessdevelopment, encouraging area residentsto think more about where and behindwhat stores they put their purchasingpower. The ‘Ville recently spoke with himabout Digital Bridges and its role in thecommunity. Cook works as programdeveloper for the DB, which is an initia-tive of Georgia College with funding fromthe Knight Foundation.

THE ‘VILLE: For those who may notknow much about Digital Bridges, canyou share a little about its goal and itsmission here in Milledgeville?TC: It has a really strong focus on jobreadiness and helping people utilize com-puters. Many people who were laid offwho had never really used them before arelearning how to use them [throughDigital Bridges’ services and resources].

THE ‘VILLE: In your experience, howhave you seen technology change in itsuses and role? TC: Everything has kind of shifted tocloud-based technology. We like to call itthe Internet Re-branded. Cloud-basedtechnology has been around for years, butnow it’s really starting to get that mediaand marketing push it needed whereeveryone wants to use it.

THE ‘VILLE: What is your role here atDigital Bridges? And what do you enjoymost about the experience here?TC: Actually getting to meet with asmany people in the community as I have— with the Chamber, MilledgevilleMainstreet, the CVB and the develop-ment authority — and focus on economicdevelopment. … [technology] seems to bea segment that was underserved inMilledgeville before.

THE ‘VILLE: Do you think people oftenconsider the link between the two —technology and economic developmentand how they’re tied together?TC: I feel like people are really starting tograb on to that idea a lot more now. Atfirst, when I first got to Digital Bridges, Ikind of felt that people had a lot of resist-ance to the idea. They thought, I’ve neverhad to [follow technology] before so whydo I have to do it now. But we like to saya crisis is a terrible thing to waste becausewith the economy we’ve seen a lot morepeople say what we were doing isn’t work-ing, so we need to try to figure out whatit is we’ve missed and try to make it work.And I feel like technology is a really bigpart of that, where it can fit in an helpmake people’s lives easier and increasecommunication and in general help peo-ple.

THE ‘VILLE: How has technology inMilledgeville evolved/grown/developedsince you’ve been working here?TC: At first, the original mission ofDigital Bridges was to help the City ofMilledgeville try to implement a largewireless network that would have coveredthe entire community and was offeredthrough Clear. … That was right aroundthe time when the economy tanked andeveryone’s primary concern became jobs,so instead of being technology for tech-nology’s sake, [Digital Bridges] becamemore focused on technology to help thecitizens of Milledgeville combat the econ-omy, essentially.

THE ‘VILLE: What has the response tothat shift in goals and mission been?TC: We’ve found that a lot of our oldercommunity members were really lookingfor an outlet for that type of thing. Theyhad gone to their kids and said ‘hey helpme,’ but their kids maybe weren’t thathelpful or not all of them had kids to helpthem out. So, we’ve opened ourselves upto be that one-on-one attention that theywant and help them.

THE ‘VILLE: What are the hours ofoperation for Digital Bridges?TC: The hours are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to5 p.m. on Friday. We do run an opencomputer clinic Tuesday through Friday atvarious times to accommodate people’sschedules. People can sign up for a 30-minute time slot and we can give themone-on-one assistance for free on any sub-ject they want to ask about. It can be any-thing from learning the basics to learninghow to use Photoshop and Illustrator tocreate media.

THE ‘VILLE: Tell us more about theShop Local program. What’s the latest onit?TC: Shop Local Milledgeville was mygraduate project that kind of evolved to alot of different agencies around town.Since the economic downturn, peoplewere looking for ways to promote thelocal economy. There was a national pushcalled the 350 Project as well as a lot oflocal pushes. My project was [originally]kind of an online directory so that collegekids could know what was going ondowntown. But that kind of turned into acommunity-wide project to draw atten-tion to small businesses instead. Shoppinglocally keeps 68 cents out of every dollarin the local community, versus shoppingwith a chain, which only keeps 43 centsand online, which is zero. Small businesseskeep this place unique and make it fun. Ifeverything downtown were a chain, itwouldn’t have as much flair. It wouldn’thave that feel of hometown character.That’s really what it’s all about — keepingthat character alive and keeping our smallbusinesses alive so they can expand andhire more people and grow jobs in thecommunity.

THE ‘VILLE: What can we look forwardto in the future for Digital Bridges?TC: We’re really trying to expand ourrecycling efforts. Anytime during our nor-mal business hours we’ll be happy tounload it. We are working actively withthe state to get several non-profits in thearea certified to receive state properties. …We can give those [refurbished comput-ers] to any non-profit or state agency aslong as they are certified. They can cometo us and we can help walk them throughthe paperwork. Whenever they areapproved, we can work with the local col-leges and get their surplus computers.

THE ‘VILLE: Since this is an arts andculture publication, what do you think ofthe future of the arts in Milledgeville fromFirst Fridays and beyond? How or whatwould you like to see develop culturallyhere in Milledgeville?TC: I think the First Friday committeehas done a fantastic job of bringing artdowntown. We host the featured artisteach month [at Digital Bridges] and wefeature their art and open up our space.We have gigantic walls that are usually

pretty blank … we were really excited tohave the opportunity to host some localartists’ work on our walls. We host it allmonth long, so for the entire month untilthe next First Friday. We’ll also be hostinga couple of Georgia College art students,beginning the middle of this month andcontinue through December.

THE ‘VILLE: What’s your favoritemovie?TC: I’m really a sucker for cheesy sci-fimovies. I would recommend to anyone ifthey’re really looking for a good laugh,they should see “Ice Spiders.” I think oneof my other favorite movies would be“Boiler Room.”

THE ‘VILLE: What’s your favorite book?TC: “The Four Hour Work Week” is areally good book that sort of gives you alot of perspective on how to make themost out of your time.

THE ‘VILLE: What type of music do youlisten to?TC: I’ll listen to classic rock, bluegrass,rap, hip-hop, country — just about any-thing that’s good.

There's actually good news for everyone here. Twilight fanscan rejoice that Breaking Dawn – Part 1, opening Friday, is abreathless, faithful portrayal of so much they've waited to see:Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella's (Kristen Stewart) wed-ding, honeymoon and their darling, matricidal little bundle ofjoy.

Twilight haters can delight in the fact that it's the begin-ning of the end.

As a fully recovered Twi-hard for whom the book BreakingDawn was a breaking point, I get it. Years have passed for fanswaiting to get to this moment, the inarguably gorgeous, wildlyover the top nuptials of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, andhere, Part 1 doesn't disappoint.

The dress is beautiful, a tasteful but fashion-forward cre-ation; Edward looks every bit the dashing groom; the toasts arehilarious (on purpose!) and yes, the honeymoon is a dream.The trouble is just about everything that follows.

The movie begins almost as a romantic comedy, completewith the spurned suitor (Taylor Lautner's Jacob) showing upfor a good-natured dance with the bride. Before long, though,it's a gestation horror show with Bella somehow (I hesitate touse the term "miraculously") pregnant with Edward's vampirebaby, the kid literally sucking the life out of her.

All due credit to the special effects wizards who turnStewart into an emaciated shell of a woman, because she trulylooks as if a demon spawn were using her as a host.

The pregnancy touches off an internecine fight within thewolf pack, pitting Jacob against his former brothers in scenesso overwrought the audience titters in embarrassment. Theunintentionally funny business doesn't stop there (if you servea pregnant woman blood in a fast-food cup with a straw, peo-ple will laugh), turning the film's second half into painful,tedious melodrama for anyone not already invested in the saga.

Not that any of that will deter fans one bit. If anything,readers may complain that the birth scene, an ocean of bloodin the book, is too tame onscreen – arguably, as is the PG-13honeymoon. Plus, there's not barely a hint of the war to comein next year's final installment, which might've given this halfmore action.

Still, there's precious little in Breaking Dawn – Part 1 thatwill truly disappoint the initiated – or attract anyone whodoesn't already care.

Team Jacob orTeam Edward? Who cares, they’re both hot

By SARAH BETH ARIEMMA

I begged my boyfriend to watch the Twilight series in complete marathon fashion. We’re talking pleading,bribery and promises that, let’s be real, I’m probably not going to keep. Why exactly am I so hell-bent onreliving the magic of the series? Because “Breaking Dawn” debuts this month, and that means I’m finallygoing to get a chance to see Edward and Bella declare their undying love for each other and witness exactlyhow a human gives birth to a half-human, half-vampire child.

Everyone has been asking the all-important question: Team Edward or Team Jacob? It is practicallySophie’s Choice. Both are all kinds of gorgeous and have this sensitivity that seems to amplify their abs.

When I first read “Twilight,” I was completely an Edward fan. In fact, I read the novel before all of thehoopla and I became a book pusher. I was the type of girl who needed her friends to join in on my crush ona fictitious character. After reading “Twilight” I headed straight for “New Moon” and “Eclipse.” I suddenlynoticed Jacob. Strong, tall, dark and handsome, he seemed to be exactly what Bella needed, especially afterEdward disappears. I began to have some serious doubts about Edward in “New Moon.” My heart brokewith Bella’s as he left her to fend for herself in the unprotected town of Forks.

But luckily, she had a slightly younger Jacob to keep her mind from straying to Edward all of the time.Jacob also has a wicked sense of humor and kept things loose; a trait that Edward doesn’t possess. I began tosuffer, because I found myself rooting for Jacob and Bella. But I knew that Edward would never be able tostay away from her and so I changed my mind and hoped for the unlikely romance between a young humangirl and a century-old vampire.

So I’m Team Edward. I cheer for what is meant to be. Besides, (and I don’t want to spoil anything, but atthis point if you don’t know what happens you’ve probably been living under a rock) everyone finds love inthe end in a perfect twist of fate.

This is nearly the exact same spiel I gave to my boyfriend the other day, complete with dramatic handgestures and a slight fainting spell on my couch. He caved. Maybe my fainting was so realistic he was afraidfor my life and felt a little bit like Edward wanting to do everything possible to save me?

Maybe the Twilight series is a little cheesy, but I think Stephanie Meyer got to the heart of all of ourdreams. We’re all looking for that person who makes our lives a little easier, a little happier and a little moreromantic.

I don’t advocate the human/vampire/werewolf mix though. I think I’ll leave that to the professionals.

Check out the first portion of “Breaking Dawn.” Maybe you’ll be reminded of the power of love all over

again.
