KNOW MACON: OCT 23 - NOV 3, 2010

When almost2000 peoplegathered at

the corners of Thirdand Cherry Street lastyear for the ZombieParade, we were assurprised as anyone.The event started lessthan five years ago with a few dozendancers and a few hundred half-sur-prised onlookers. Marcus Nash wouldupload a video of that dance, and sincethen over 50,000 people from all overthe country have watched our city gettheir groove on to Micheal Jackson.

To accommodate the growingcrowds, we’re moving the dance thisyear to Cherry Street Plaza. It’s in frontof the Children’s Museum, before youget to the fountain that never works.There will be plenty of room for every-one to see, and our wonderful danceinstructor Pilar Wilder has put together

a whole bunch of enter-tainment. While theZombie Parade won’tbegin until 9 o’clocksharp, dancers will berecreating some ofMicheal’s hits startingas early as 7p.m. DJDirt Dogg will be spin-

ning and his after party at the SochiGallery will be the one you probablydon’t want to miss. And a big thanks toThe College Hill Corridor, our sponsorthis year, without whom none of thiswould happen. We’ve outgrown thedays of just getting out there and danc-ing, and with bigger crowds comes big-ger expenses, thanks to CHCC forbeing an origanization helping to createsocial change in Macon. It can’t hap-pen without Community Involvmentand on Saturday the 30th you’ll seeabout as much of that as you can han-dle. Make sure you are a part of it.

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

I’ve just ordered a new book from Amazon,called Rollies Follies. Ever hear about the timeMickey Mantle accidentally got his friend’scow shot? How about the minor leaguer whowas traded for 10 bats? Rollies Follies is Hall ofFame revue of stories and stats, lists and base-ball lore by Rollie Fingers the former relief pitch-er for the Oakland A’s.

I think Deep Roots Fest in Milledgville has itgoing on. Booking Grace Potter and theNocturnals last year, right before she got hugewas brilliant. This year’s headliner won’t disap-point either with Delta Spirit, another greatband you can bet to be hearing more from onthe Festival Circuit. Not to mention it’s in thefall, which is my kind of weather.

Showtime has picked up an American versionof the long-running, BAFTA-winning British series"Shameless." The series, which stars William H.Macy as the alcoholic father of a working-classChicago family, will go into production in thesummer and likely premiere in early 2011.Something to look forward to.

I’ve been guilty of truck borrowing for sometime now. And nothing makes you feel less likea man than having to borrow someones truckto tow, haul or move through stuff. So I got amonster. I bought my brothers used ChevySilverado 2500 HD, and can now call myfriends trucks, little trucks.

Thriller practice hasbegun, and ournew sponsor, theCollege Hill Corridorhas made it evenbetter. Now pracit-ing in Tatnall Squarepark to accommo-date the growingmass of people whoparticipate eachyear, we’ve added a movie screen to the mix,so you can watch Micheal and his crewdance as you learn. Practice is every Thrusdayat 7:00p.m. Mercer is even urging their facultyto practice as part of their Wellness Program!

From the outside, the DeLee family looks likeany other: Mom works at Wachovia, Dad hasworked for 17 years at Metro Power and thethree kids attend Macon State College. Butevery fall, this ordinary family takes part in anot-so-ordinary activity: scaring the pants offMiddle Georgia!

That’s right, Macon has its own AdamsFamily and while the fruits of their passion mayonly be savored for 13 days a year, this labor oflove is more like a business than a hobby. “A lotof planning goes into this,” said husband andwife team Troy and Serena DeLee, co-owners ofUnderworld Macon.

What began as a small fundraiser for theChildren’s Museum has mushroomed into a full-fledged event requiring year-long efforts andnow benefits the Capitol Theatre. According toDeLee, over 100 volunteers invest approximate-ly 20,000 hours to bring this fright delight.“Some of the volunteers have been with me forover five years,” he said. “Our volunteers are justnuts to do this! They are community-orientedpeople without a creative outlet.”

But DeLee explained that even though theworkers are volunteers, they can still be firedjust like a real job. Each year, approximately125 applicants audition for only 80 acting roles.There are also behind the scenes positions to fillfrom crews to cleanup the night’s deposit ofvomit and pee to an idea team, managers, etc.“It takes a lot of commitment,” DeLee said.“Volunteers show up at 5 p.m. for the 8 p.m.opening and the last person doesn’t leave untilaround 1:30 a.m.”

There are upstairs and downstairs man-agers, construction manager, head of security,secretary, acting coaches, directors and more.“For 13 days, it’s like a small country aroundhere,” DeLee said.

Building of the haunt and acting aren’t theonly concerns for such a production, provisionsneed to be made for feeding the crew, maintaininga supply of toilet paper, insurance, fire marshal,permits, police assistance and the list goes on.

Over the years, the DeLee family hasenlisted the help of extended family. “Everyoneis involved in some fashion. My wife is a co-owner and designs the rooms. My son is a clown,my daughter is a guide, the other daughter was areceptionist.” Even his in-laws pitch in.

With everything it takes to bring this annu-al event to Macon, DeLee and wife, Serena, takecomfort in the knowledge that they are notalone. They are not the only crazy husband/wifeteam bringing horror to Central Georgia.

Just 30 miles south of Macon is anothercouple going through the same experience and,this year, the two couples have joined forces--sharing knowledge, experiences and their lovefor all things creepy.

Piper Steffen loves Halloween and hasdecorated for the season for years. So it wasn’tmuch of a stretch for her and husband, Jimmy,to turn her love into a horrifically spectacularbenefit.

The Second Annual Perry Haunted Barnbenefits the local community theatre, Perry

Players (last year the event benefited the localHumane Society).

Although they have not been doing this aslong as the DeLees, the Steffens have their ownwar-stories about putting on a haunt that wel-comes thousands of visitors. Volunteers donatemonths of personal time to build sets, paintsigns, recruit help, promote the event, animateprops, design costumes, apply makeup.Community businesses help out as well, donat-ing money, supplies and more.

This year, their major sponsor, Applebee’sof Perry, is offering discounts to haunt patronsand its employees have become walking bill-boards--sporting official haunt T-shirts. Thesupport of sponsors, local businesses and themany volunteers have resulted in the haunt dou-bling in size and fright-factor; it has evenallowed the event to expand its philanthropicendeavors.

In addition to helping the Perry Players,this year the haunt will also help the Red Crossby holding a B.Y.O.B. Party (bring your ownblood) on October 25, giving all willing partici-pants _ price admission to the haunt.With these two major haunts collaborating,there’s no telling what eerie encounters awaitMiddle Georgia in 2011...perhaps, only theshadow knows. WHAA HAA HAA HAA!

Underworld Macon is located at 450 Third St.in downtown Macon and is open Oct. 22, 23, 27- 31 from 8 - midnight. Tickets are $13Adults/$11 Students/Military. Each haunt givesa $2 discount if you show your ticket from theother haunt.

Perry Haunted Barn is located at ??? Hwy. 41North (2 miles north of Perry) and is open Oct.22, 23, 25 - 31 from 8 p.m. - midnight. Ticketsare $12 Adults, $16 Fast Pass - Student/Militarydiscounts are available. Donate blood on Oct.25th and receive 1/2 price admission.

listen upAs host of The Rookery's open Mic Night, SavanahCameron has become a fixture of Macon's indie MusicScene. A great guitar player, and a blossoming songwriter,she took a little time out to answer some questions for the11th Hour.

Name a song you've listened to in the past 24 hours?“Feel the Pain” by Dinosaur Jr.

What was the first album you bought with your own money?Nevermind- Nirvana

Whose band t-shirt do you wear proudly? Gogol Bordello

Who would we be surprised to learn is in your music collec-tion? MC Frontalot! Nerdcore Hip-Hop rules!

Recommend a band our readersmust hear now? St. Vincent. >>(Guitarist/composer/vocalistAnnie Clark’s great-grandmother’smiddle name was St. Vincent. Clarknamed her band St. Vincent as away to bring her along on theadventure. Before releasing MarryMe, St. Vincent’s debut, in 2007,Clark performed and toured withthe Polyphonic Spree and SufjanStevens—acts noted for their distinctive and certainly dissimilarsounds. There is nothing about St. Vincent’s music to connectthe 27-year-old Clark with the Spree’s big-band sun worship orStevens’ clockwork, pointy minimalism. Check out her music atmyspace.com/stvincent)

Favorite local independent restaurant? Bears Den- Friedgreen tomatoes, Mac-N-cheese, Fried chicken, Lima beans, cornbread, and sweet tea.

The best thing Traci Burns hasheard lately Kanye West’s“Power”; Sarah Gerwig is dig-ging Last Shadow Puppets;John Cantwell is playing JustinTownes Earle’s “Harlem RiverBlues”, and Joe Calloway is lis-tening to The Ink Spots.

THURSDAY 10/21Poptart Monkeys @ Bottoms UpInitially a Pennsylvania based cover band,things began to change for the Poptart Monkeyswhen the band found Tyson Clark (leadvocals/sometime drummer) in 2003. The bandtraveled to Atlanta to write and record a newalbum (Happily Never After, 2006) at the leg-endary Tree Studios. The initial recording ses-sions were loose and spontaneous, capturing theband's live energy. The band collaborated on 13new songs with Hugo Ferreira (Tantric).Following a year of extensive touring in thenorth, midwest and southeastern United States,the band finished a controversial second placebehind a hip hop act in Bodog Music's $1Million Battle of the Bands.

Mike Kinnebrew @ Capitol TheatreFans flood intimate venues crossing the south-eastern United States to enjoy these passionateperformances. Kinnebrew's thoughtful lyricsallow his audience to fall in love by creatingmusic that fans immediately identify with.Accompanied by an extraordinarily loyal fol-lowing of fans, Mike, often accompanied by hisband, travels to coffee shops, clubs and univer-sities. The renowned Eddie's Attic in Atlanta isamong the places he regularly headlines. It wasthere that Grammy award winner John Mayertook notice of Mike's music as he took the stageat Eddie's attic. “Dude, you’ve got it!” was hisreaction to the songs so many already love.

FRIDAY 10/22Rat Babies @ Grants LoungeRat Babies are a dark, bass-heavy, mouth-foam-ing, gutteral-screaming, foamy-slobber-spitting,sweat-stained, three piece drum-n-bass, swamp-metal band out of the little known metal sceneof Athens GA. Members include "Mux" on bass& vocals, "Chodd" on drums, and Tim onGuitar. Rat Babies have been around since early2005 playing shows everywhere... in and out-side of Athens GA.

Back City Woods @ The BirdA new band that gives old sounds a new twist.Playing out of Macon, GA, all three membersare natives of Cochran, GA — a small town inSouth Middle Georgia. Back City Woodsembraces their Southern music heritage:Bluegrass, Country, Southern Rock, and Blues.

Lefty Williams @ Rivalry’sA skilled guitarist with over two decades ofexperience, Lefty Williams holds songcraft andmusicianship at a premium. In turn, we fall forWilliams’ powerful guitar licks and candidsongs, often long before the origin of his nick-name—he was born without a right hand—isclear. And by then, it’s just another dimensionto his talent.

SATURDAY 10/23Shane Couillard @ Mellow MushroomA Warner Robins Native with a Martin acousticwho writes his own songs and sings a bunchmore that you already like singing along to. Agreat, laid back show.

Shane Bridges @ The ShamrockShane Bridges is a singer songwriter that hasbeen on the scene since 1995 with familiarbands like Acoustic Workshop and Oldstar.After Oldstar disbanded, Shane did whatlawyers and labels told him to do years before:go solo.

FRIDAY 10/29Planet Retro @ Billy’s ClubhouseMembers of Cold Feat make up this 80’s coverband that sings the songs you used to love tojump around to. Bring your dancing shoes andbreak out the hair spray.

Come Hear...


The author of stoner sound-tracks all over the USA,Afroman eventually hasbeen writing music fordecades. Having gainedthe attention of UniversalRecords, who signed himto a six-album deal. TheGood Times, was a compi-lation of his first two LPsand a few new ones.

"Because I Got High" was also included on the sound-track to Kevin Smith's film Jay and Silent Bob StrikeBack. "Because I Got High" became a huge hit aroundthe world in the last quarter of 2001. When he returnedin 2004, he did so in a big way, with the double-discAfroholic...the Even Better Times, albeit he did so inde-pendently. He now relives the hype that once sur-rounded him by touring college towns performing hisfavorite hits and promoting new tracks.

Looking some-what likeDracula's nastylittle brother whospent some hardyears drinkingand working as acarnival barkerfor a second-rate freak show,Unknown Hinsontranslates that

vibe to his style of country and western-tinged psy-chobilly. Hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, this red-necked crooner gained regional popularity with a self-produced television show in 1992 and soon was touringnationwide, wowing audiences with his outrageous andcampy, white-trash persona and freewheeling, sleazytone.

For years, the color pink has elicited thoughts ofspring festivals and cherry blossoms in MiddleGeorgia. But, thanks to a dedicated group of

Maconites, now pink also evokes visions of a warrior--acourageous woman who, despite her fear, fights a vora-cious foe, Breast Cancer.

And while she is fighting a personal battle for her life,her supporters are ensuring that this won’t happen to herdaughters--they are racing for the cure at the KomenCentral Georgia Race for the Cure.

The Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation is theworld’s largest network of breast cancer survivors andactivists. The Central Georgia Affiliate, covering Baldwin,Bibb, Crawford, Houston, Jones, Monroe, Peach andTwiggs counties, has been battling breast cancer since1999. By providing education and support, particularly inunderserved population, the foundation helps women toovercome their fears.

“It is important to have a yearly mammogram,” RaceChair Mechel McKinley said. “Some young women havewitnessed their mothers, grandmothers, and aunts succumbto breast cancer and are fearful. We help them to overcometheir fears by showing them that there are things we can donow that we couldn’t do for grandmother. Early detectionis key.”

Formed in 1999, the first Komen Central GeorgiaRace for the Cure was held in October 2000. In just a fewshort years, the Central Georgia Affiliate has grown from asmall group of women, who knew more needed to be doneto help address the breast health needs of central Georgia,to a network of survivors and activists on a mission andwith a vision to end breast cancer forever.

We are always looking to educate young women,” saidMcKinley. “As early as high school, women should under-stand the importance of a monthly self exam. They shouldbecome familiar with their breasts to detect changes thatmay arise later in life.”

Raising awareness is paramount in this battle and theannual Race for the Cure provides a platform for educationand fundraising, as well as celebrating the victories ofbreast cancer survivors. Over 4,000 runners are expected toparticipate in the 5k race, raising $300,000 for the cause

($225,000 remains in Central Georgia and $75,000 goes toresearch at a national level).

The activities behind the scenes of the Race for theCure rivals those of any fortune five hundred company:recruiting volunteers and sponsors, publicity, securing alocation, fundraising, dispersing grants from fundraising.

Planning for this major event takes the efforts of over400 volunteers and 2 paid staffers in addition to committeeand board members. As soon as the 2010 race is over,preparations for the 2011 race will begin. After reviewingthe year’s events, a new battle plan is drawn up and a goalis approved by the board of directors (5 of them are breastcancer survivors).

This year, the Race includes a pre-race concert featur-ing singer/songwriter Candy Coburn who will sing “PinkWarrior”, a song written in memory of her grandmother,Tucker. Race for the Cure is the beneficiary of proceedsfrom the sale of this song. The concert will take place onOctober 22, at the Porter Auditorium at Wesleyan College,tickets are $5 online or at the door.

Race festivities begin at 7 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 23;participants can register online, by mail, in person and theday of the race.

BY BILL KNOWLES

When I started writing the first part ofthis column almost a month ago Iknew very little about the inner work-

ings of the Malachi York arrest several years agoin Putnam County. Of course I remembered thepyramids in Eatonton on Shady Dale Rd., York’ssensational trial and subsequent conviction. Iassumed what most people who looked at thison the surface assumed: law enforcement gotthe bad guy and our legal system convicted him,all working in perfect harmony. It’s a safeassumption as no law enforcement officers werehurt, the suspect was arrested without incidentand put in jail unharmed and the rest of the cultdissipated. What I did not know was the role, orlack of a role as turned out to be the case, thatformer Governor Roy Barnes played in the saga.

As you read in my last column, then-Governor Barnes stood by and did absolutelynothing to help in the arrest of York by PutnamCounty Sheriff Howard Sills, though Sills onrepeated occasions asked for Barnes’ help. Sillswould at one point even send Barnes a copy ofGA Law 45-12-30 which explains the powers theGovernor has to prevent violence and maintainorder. Barnes apparently chose to ignore it.Though I had read the accounts of the interac-tions between Sills and Barnes & company inBill Osinski’s book “Ungodly”, I wanted to hearit for myself, so I contacted Sheriff Sills. After acouple of weeks of email and phone tag, we gottogether a few days ago for a fantastic discussion.

First and foremost, I wanted to know ifSheriff Sills had read “Ungodly” which in fact hehad. I then asked him if it was factual to the bestof his knowledge. He told me that “although it’sbeen several years since I read it, I don’t recallanything in it that wasn’t 100% true.” Since Ihad used “Ungodly” as the basis for my articles,that was great to hear! I then asked him what hemeant by a comment he made in a 2003 MaconTelegraph article in which he called Roy Barnes a“political whore”. Sills responded very candidlywhen he said, “I was very supportive of Roywhen he was a State Senator. He was the ideallegislator. But he was a much better legislatorthan a Governor. That (expletive deleted) wasmore interested in maintaining the support fromhis base of voters that he was in protecting thepublic safety of the people of Georgia. Peopleforget that before anything else, the Governor isthe chief law enforcement officer of the state.Barnes forgot that too; seems like after his elec-tion he didn’t give a damn about a Sheriff from alittle county like ours.”

Sills went on to tell me that he had writtena letter to Governor Barnes March 9, 1999 inwhich he asked for a personal meeting with himto discuss the situation in Eatonton. In the let-ter, which I have read, Sills reports to Barnes thathe has written a letter to then Director of theFBI Louis Freeh on May 4,1998, then tellsBarnes that the Nuwaubians have “repeatedlyattacked and slandered my office and me per-sonally for the last eleven months.” He encloseda copy of the letter to Freeh, along with proof ofthe slanderous writings of the Nuwaubians. Ialso have obtained a copy of the letter to Freeh.

Sills not only states his concern about the activitiesof the Nuwaubians, but also states that he is awareof the “extensive criminal activity by members ofthis group when it was headquartered in Brooklyn.These activities included bank robbery, murder,arson and extortion.” Sheriff Sills’ source for thisinformation was an FBI intelligence report. Sillsthen went on to tell Freeh that he was “frequentlycalled by the parents of people that are movinghere from all over the nation. The parents areextremely concerned about the safety of their chil-dren.” At the end of the Freeh letter, Sills begs, “Iimplore you to direct the full resources of thebureau in investigating this group as I feel theiractivities not only represent a threat to our com-munity, but represent a threat to the nation itself.”(It has to be remembered that this letter was writ-ten while the memory of Waco and Ruby Ridgewas still very fresh in the minds of everyone.) Sillstold me that “at least the FBI answered my letter.They never really got on the train, but they didanswer. Barnes didn’t.”

The next letter Sheriff Sills wrote to Barnesis dated June 20, 1999. He again tells Barnes ofhis concerns York, the Tama-Re compound andhow York has violated or ignored county zoningordinances. What interests me about this letteris the mention of former State Senator FloydGriffin. (Griffin is also the former mayor ofMilledgeville and is currently running againstincumbent Johnny Grant for his old seat back.)Sills sent Barnes a copy of a Nuwaubian newspa-per in which there were pictures of Griffin at aNuwaubian event held on Tama-Re. One pic-ture had Griffin standing directly next to York.Sills then went on to tell Barnes that Griffinattempted to “intervene in support of York andhis group early on during the county’s prob-lems,” while Griffin was still a State Senator, andthat he went to Griffin and told him that “I did-n’t think he was fully cognizant of York’s back-ground and offered to share with him the law

enforcement intelligence we had gathered. Mr.Griffin’s response to me, and I quote, was ‘Idon’t want or care what intelligence you have.’Although I was never impressed with Griffinduring his tenure in the senate, I was completelyshocked that he was openly supporting an indi-vidual who was not only a convicted felon, butwas conspicuously subversive and advocatingsedition.” Further in the letter it is revealed thatBarnes is “seriously considering” Griffin for thejob as Adjutant General for Georgia. Sills thenwrites to Barnes “to think that Floyd Griffincould be in direct command of all the militaryforces of our state is at the least frightening.”(Emphasis added by Sheriff Sills.) I agreeSheriff! (Are you reading Senator Grant???)But what is even more frightening is thatGovernor Barnes was even considering thisclown for that job. (As you can tell, I added himto our list in the title…) Evidently someone had

good sense somewhere down the road asAdjutant General isn’t listed on Griffin’s websiteas one of his positions. I hope the people of the25th District in Georgia will have the same goodsense and keep him unemployed.

Getting back to Barnes, I asked SheriffSills if he thought that Ed Coughenour’sstory was true (Please refer to Part one)

and if he felt that Governor Barnes knew thatCoughenour was being dispatched to “keep theorder in Putnam County.” Sills told me that hehad no reason not to believe Coughenour, espe-cially since phone records showed that therewere several calls made between Coughenhourand the Governor’s office and that when Sillshad searched Coughenhour’s home, the ticketsto a Barnes fundraiser were found. Sills told mehe couldn’t be sure that Barnes knew, but“Penny Brown-Reynolds damn sure knew.”

TOM ELLINGTONMacon City CouncilWard 3, Post 3

At press time for this issue, the big story inMacon was the 13 people who have beenshot since Sept. 20, four of them fatally.

Macon has a crime problem. I am confident thatthis outbreak of violence will end quickly, but

when it is over, a simple, fundamental fact will remain, and weshould be candid about it: Macon has a crime problem.

Since I took office in 2007, I have repeatedly heard PoliceChief Mike Burns say that crime is down in Macon over the pre-vious. He is not wrong, but placed in context it is not that impres-sive a statistic. You wouldn’t know it from watching NancyGrace, but according to FBI crime statistics, since violent crimesand serious property crimes peaked in 1991, rates have droppednationally every year but one.

Once you compare Macon to cities of similar size, though, adifferent picture emerges, and it’s not pretty. Macon has moreserious crime than our peer cities.

To be sure, it is not spread out evenly across the city. Despitewidespread perceptions to the contrary, downtown is reasonablysafe. Where I live on Mulberry Street, if I feel like taking a walklate at night, I do it without a second thought, and I have neverhad a problem.

But not all our residents are so fortunate. In some neighbor-hoods, people are afraid to go out after dark – or don’t even feelsecure in their own homes. That has to change.

So how do we change it? Law enforcement and the courts dohave a role to play. The people responsible for the latest outbreakof violence need to be apprehended and removed from society fora very long time. (Some people have already been charged inthose incidents.) But our crime problem is not solely a law-enforcement problem. Indeed I would argue that on the whole ourpolice do an outstanding, professional job.

The United States incarcerates the highest proportion of peo-ple in the world, and Georgia has one of the highest incarcerationrates in the country. Bibb County has a relatively new jail that canhouse nearly 1,000 inmates legally, and it is already at capacity.CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Inside City HallMacon’s Crime Problem


BY RICK HUTTO

Many peoplewho read mynew book, A

Peculiar Tribe of People:Murder and Madness inthe Heart of Georgia,first comment on what atwisted and bizarre tale it

is. Soon afterwards, however, the conver-sation usually shifts to questions about thebusiness of publishing the book – howlong did it take, how did you get an agent,how are you paid, and (even) how manyfree copies do you get from the publisher?It seems that everyone wants to write abook, has an idea for a book, or writesoccasionally with an eventual desire topublish a book.

I am always quick to respond that think-ing about writing a book isn’t writing,researching isn’t writing, outlining isn’twriting – only putting pen to paper (or, farmore likely, keystrokes to a document) iswriting. Years ago I had dinner inWashington with Tom Clancy. He told methat he approaches each day’s writing likea job. Some days he knows that nothing heis writing will make it on to the eventualpage, but he writes anyway. Other days hiswriting is nearly perfect, but he stops at anappointed time when his workday is done.

Most writers aren’t megastars like Clancyand are forced to make a living, take careof their family, or both. If you adopt hisdiscipline for writing, perhaps you willforce yourself to get up an hour earlier eachday and devote that one hour without fail toyour task. Maybe you will set asideSaturday mornings for writing but committo spending that afternoon with your family.Whatever your choice, you aren’t going tosucceed without that necessary discipline.

The best way to get started is to writean article for a magazine - the more localor regional the better your chances of beingpublished (I was paid $75 for my first mag-azine piece and was grateful for it). If youare a World War II buff, there are magazinesfor that interest. A fan of bodice-rippingromantic novels? Yes, there’s one for that,too. Buy a copy of that magazine, read thekind of articles they publish (pay carefulattention to things such as length, humorousor serious narrative, accompanying photo-graphs), read their submission guidelines,and send them your best-written and pol-ished article for publication. And do not bedismayed if you are initially rejected. J. K.Rowling, who was then a single mother in awalk-up second-floor apartment, wasrejected by 12 publishers before HarryPotter was accepted. She is now wealthierthan the Queen of England.

Once you have that published articleunder your belt, you are ready to look foran agent. If you go to your local library,visit the reference desk and ask for a largebook usually kept behind the librarian’sdesk rather than on open shelves. CalledThe Writers’ Market, it is wonderfullycross-referenced and lists publishers,agents, magazines, etc. – the true Bible forany writer. Look for an agent who special-izes in your genre. CLOSELY follow theirguidelines for submissions and queries. Ifyou write science fiction, don’t bother sub-mitting to an agent who only represents aca-demic non-fiction. If they tell you to send aone-page query, don’t waste postage with athree-page form letter you have alreadymass-produced. Enclose your publishedmagazine article. It is useless to write to oneof the “superstar” literary agencies, at leastuntil you become one yourself.

Once you find an agent, don’t assumethat this literary marriage will alwayswork. My first agent, who has been in thebusiness for decades, was useless althoughshe continued to represent me for severalyears. When I switched agents andacquired a fantastic young man in a hotnew firm, within four months I had a con-tract with a highly-respected national pub-lisher for Peculiar Tribe. My former agenthad a shotgun approach, hoping that, bysending out 50 proposals, one publishermight show interest.

Conversely, my new agent knewexactly two editors at two different pub-lishing houses who would love my book.Those two eventually bid against oneanother for the right to publish it. I signedwith Lyons Press (an imprint of giantGlobe-Pequot) and was paid one-half ofmy advance (the amount I am paid up-front for the book) upon signing and theremaining half at the submission of the

final manu-script. Oncesales havereached alevel suffi-cient torepay thep u b l i s h e rfor that advance, I am then paid royaltieson a quarterly sales basis. Additionalrights, such as audio tapes and film adapta-tions, are negotiated separately by myagent. My publisher also purchased theright of first refusal for my next book.

Now that you have an agent, you areready for serious work. The only answer toyour agent or a prospective publisher is“yes.” Need that first draft in ten days? Noproblem. Delete that section based onyour grandmother that you think is the bestthing you’ve ever written? Absolutely. Isigned my contract on December 17th, twodays before my family and I left the coun-try for two weeks. Was I worried that Iwould be able to make an April 1st dead-line for the final draft of the first half of mybook with the second half due one monthlater? Terrified, but I said, “Certainly!” Ofcourse you then have to deliver. If youblow that first big chance, you are hardlylikely to get a second shot.

Whatever your calling – whether writ-ing a personal memoir just for your familyor penning the next big blockbuster – Iwish you great luck. I hope to see you atone of my many book signings and youcan tell me what you are writing (ratherthan just thinking about the process). Youcan find the schedule on the book’s web-site, www.peculiartribe.com. Oh, thatquestion about the number of “free” booksI’m given by my publisher? The answer isten, and they were all gone on the day Ireceived them.

The Business of Book PublishingVIEWS

THE CITY SCENE

If we could arrest our way out of ourcrime problem, we would have alreadydone it.The fact is that we cannot fix things

overnight, but we also can’t afford to donothing. We have a significant problemwith poverty in this community, and toomany of our children either drop out ofschool or graduate from high school inad-equately prepared for either the work forceor college.

Think of the cohort of 5-year-oldswho entered kindergarten this fall. Howmany of those children do you want to beafraid of in 10 years? That is exactly whatis at stake as we decide as a communitywhether we are serious about tacklingpoverty and improving educational oppor-tunities. That is why everyone in this com-munity has a stake in the success of ourpublic schools, even if they don’t have anychildren at home or if their kids are in pri-vate school.

Every criminal in our community hasmade a choice or serious of bad choicesthat he or she is ultimately responsible for.

However, if the young people in our com-munity have hope and a clear path to agood future, they are much more likely tomake the right choice for themselves.When Macon no longer has serious prob-lems with poverty and hopelessness, wewill also no longer have a crime problem.

If you believe these problems areserious, you have the opportunity to makeyour voice heard at the ballot box.Locally, we have races for district attor-ney, school board and district attorney onthe ballot (as well as the special electionfor the Ward III, Post 2 City Councilseat). Early voting has already started atthe Board of Elections office at the cornerof Eisenhower and Pio Nono, andElection Day is Nov. 2. If you have notalready voted, go, and take a friend withyou. If you need assistance getting to thepolls, contact me.

Brown-Reynolds was Barnes Chief Counsel andis now a star of a Judge Judy type of show.

I thought I’d dig a little deeper aboutCoughenhour, so I called him. Unfortunately,the number that I had wasn’t working. ButFacebook is an amazing thing and within anhour I was on the phone with him. I asked himhow he got involved in the Putnam County sit-uation. He told me that he was at a communitymeeting trying to legitimize his “GeorgiaRangers” and there was some city representa-tive there. The representative suggested ameeting with Tyrone Brooks. It was at that firstmeeting when Bobby Kahn, Barnes’ Chief ofStaff, gave him those tickets. Coughenour toldme, “I didn’t even know what the damn things were. I didn’teven know who Roy Barnes was. I wasn’t into political things.”I then told him Barnes was running for Governor again. Afterhe got done laughing, he told me that he didn’t have “any polit-ical axe to grind with Barnes. I can give a shit less if he wins orloses. I didn’t even know he was running again.” At the meet-ing with Brooks, Coughenour told him that he would needsome type of letter of introduction or letter of authority if hewere going to go to Eatonton, which of course he received.(Again, see part one.) He was also told if any problems came upto call Penny Brown-Reynolds and she would handle it.

When Coughenour went to Eatonton and met Sheriff Sillshe told me that he felt the situation was much different than hehad been led to believe. He was told that Sills was a “cracker”who was out to divide the races of Putnam County. He in turncalled Brown-Reynolds and requested a meeting with the GBI.The meeting happened later that day when, in Coughenhour’swords, “five or six GBI agents showed up.” When he went tovoice his concerns, he did not realize that then deputy director ofthe GBI Vernon Keenan would be at the meeting, but he was.(Keenan is now the Director of the GBI.) In a 2007 interviewwith Bill Osinski, Keenan confirmed Coughenhour’s account of

what happened. In my conversation I askedCoughenhour who in the Governor's office hehad contacted, as there were phone recordeindicating that he had called there several times.He said the only person he ever called in theGovernor's office was Penny Brown-Reyonlds,Barnes' Chief Counsel. The thing that is amaz-ing to me is that the “Georgia Rangers” got con-siderable help from the Governor’s office butSills couldn’t. Keep in mind that Coughenhourwas and is a convicted felon. But HE had theblessings of Governor Barnes and his adminis-tration. Sheriff Sills didn’t.

There were several other things that cameout in the various interviews that I conducted

that I could not verify, though I tried REALLY hard, and havechosen not to reveal. I’m not Bob Woodward or Carl Bernstein.I am however, concerned for my state. I’m concerned that mystate will go back into the well of copperas water known as RoyBarnes and drink from it again knowing that it is poisonous. I haveshown that Barnes lacks the judgment to govern our state and hasallowed himself to be led by the likes of people like TyroneBrooks, yet ignore the pleas of a decorated law enforcement offi-cial, all in the name of votes. Sheriff Sills told me he wouldn’t trustBarnes to “investigate the robbery of a cracker machine” and EdCoughenour stated that “if the people of Georgia want to reelectRoy Barnes and his entourage they are destined to repeat thepast.” I agree wholeheartedly with both.

Former Governor Barnes has been very apologetic in hisadvertisements telling Georgians that he has learned from hismistakes and that he should have listened more. Some funnythings have happened since Barnes started his “MagicalMystery ‘Forgive Me?’ Tour”: he’s called Sheriff Sills threetimes and has also sent his peeps to try and set up a meetingbetween the two of them. I find it amazing how the Sheriff hasheard more from Barnes now during an election than he everdid throughout the times that Sills needed him the most.
