Skirt August/September 2015

Being local is more about where we call

home and less about occupying a space.

It’s knowing the back streets and the

secret princess parking spaces, meeting the

farmers who grow our strawberries face-

to-face at the u-pick, calling the owner of

the bakery down the street by name. The

newcomers we give directions to don’t

know if we’ve been here for five or 50

years, we have a favorite after-work drink

and a place with a view to enjoy it, we find

chicken soup left by a neighbor on our

porch because they heard we were under

the weather. We live in neighborhoods,

not newsfeeds. We shop in person, no

free shipping required, because we like to

pick out our own fresh vegetables farmed

that morning. Our favorite butcher knows

we like the grass-fed beef and which

cut. We’re regulars at lunch counters,

farmer’s markets, and spin class. We raise

each other’s children. We don’t need

neighborhood watch signs to keep an eye

out. We welcome everyone with southern

grace and charm. We’re not in a rush, we

always have time to stop for a porch chat,

and wonder how people who go for years

without meeting their neighbors live (bless

their hearts). It doesn’t even matter if

you’re here to stay or just passing through,

We want you to feel just as at home here

as we do.

Four years ago almost exactly, I came on as local editor of skirt! for the

CSRA. I had to learn things like how to shop for products with an eye

for what would photograph well, or how to most effectively ask a man

every month to put on a skirt for a large photograph that would be

published in a print magazine. This is actually my last issue of skirt!, since I

will be moving to Athens this fall to begin law school at the University of

Georgia. I cannot even begin to thank all of you for what you’ve given me

over the past four years: from advertisers who have made the magazine

possible, to readers who were there faithfully for each issue and of course

all of the individuals who shared their stories

and perspectives with me and our readers.

I will always love skirt!, and will always

be grateful to all of you for making this

time in my life possible.

There’s a lot to love about skateboarding, Brian believes, but if he had to whittle it down to two things it would be these: freedom and fun. “Every

time I see people skating, they’re usually laughing or smiling,” he says. “I love that.” Brian opened Sweet Sticks Skateboard Gallery at 1022 Broad

Street four months ago, and has already been met with rave reviews and a warm welcome from both the skating community and downtown

Augusta in general. As someone who’s been skating for most of his life, Brian firmly believes that skateboarding is something that can add a lot

to anyone’s life. “There’s not really anyone to tell you how to do it, so you have to teach yourself and get your own style,” he says of skating.

He also loves how skateboarding encourages competition with oneself, and not so much against others. “There’s no real official goals,” he says.

“It’s all personal goals.” Brian and the rest of his team at Sweet Sticks, such as Greg Tobias (kneeling, to the right) and Sterling Smith (airborne,

in background), see the store as a way to gather up the local skate community and grow it even more. “The skate community is incredibly

supportive,” Brian says.

Never one to miss an adventure, I would dash through the creeks with friends after practice in hopes of getting home before my par-ents came home from work. My mother had banned these routes as unsafe but I, of course, couldn’t resist. It was not only a shortcut but also what seemed at the time a hidden oasis of beauty among the towering schools and sprouted Columbia County suburbia land-scape. I look at it now, and it’s just a tiny stream separating Lakeside High School and Clark Point. What an imagination I must have had.

Augusta provided the perfect playground for me during my middle school and high school years. Between playing on several sports teams, clubs and social events I was always seeing and meeting new and interesting people. My family moved to Augusta from Charleston when I was in the sixth grade. For the first few months we lived in a family friend’s lake house while we waited for our house to close and the previous fine folks to move out. Living at the lake was nice; it was peaceful. The lush forests and hospitable lake captains were a great welcoming committee to the great city of Augusta. I remember the excitement of moving into our new house in the heart of “CoCo” (Columbia County). My middle school years are filled with fond memories of Social dance club and sports events. Columbia County was starting to burst at its seams: Greenbrier High School opened my freshman year of high school and Riverwood Plantation was basically just Greenbrier High School. There was no traffic.

I will never forget the first time I walked into Sacred Heart Cultural Center. It was my junior year of high school and I was attending a sorority dance. The building was so beautiful. I knew the moment I walked inside it was truly an Augusta landmark and treasure. I remem-ber studying in detail each of the statues that surrounded the altar and staring up what felt like a mile high to the ceiling. I was enamored with its beauty and in that moment, started a lifelong appreciation of historic spaces and places. I fondly remember 16th birthday teas, sleepovers, playing hide and seek in the Lamar Penthouse and week-end getaways to Clarks Hill Lake with friends and their families. Life was good.

After high school graduation, Augusta never stopped pursuing me to stay here. I enrolled in what was then Augusta State University and a few years later graduated and started working for the South’s oldest newspaper, The Augusta Chronicle. It was working there that opened my eyes to the metropolis of Augusta. I realized that she never stopped and her people never stopped trying to make her better, bigger, and beautiful. I saw the pretty and the ugly. As a young intern I would pick up DUIs, indictments, parole notices, divorces, foreclosures and other case information and type it all up for the newspaper each week. Thousands of people going through so many different things. I had the great honor (ha!) of listening to the rants and rave line every day and would listen to people’s woes about the city and the occasional rave. Mostly things about bickering politicians, slow drivers and abandoned buildings. Citizens clamoring for peace and change. Citizens who were protective of their Augusta. Their home.

After graduating from ASU, I was one of the very few lucky enough to land a job right out of college. I was so happy to stay in Augusta, not only to further my career at the paper, but also to be with my family and friends. Working downtown opened my eyes to so many wonderful things in Augusta. I began getting involved in as many things as I possibly could. Downtown had a totally different vibe than any other part of Augusta that I had noticed. I moved downtown and submersed myself into its heart of culture. There was always something going on and restaurants were popping up everywhere. Fast forward to today, and just this summer at least three new res-taurants have opened up downtown.

!

As a teenager I can remember tip toeing through tiny creeks and streams on the way home from school.

Augusta has provided such a wonderful life for me and I am so grateful for the many memories I have, the opportunities

and life lessons.


There are so many different activities here for a person to enjoy. I love starting my weekend off with a delicious dinner downtown at Bees Knees or Frog Hollow. If I am in the mood for French cuisine, I just drive a little farther down to La Maison or enjoy sushi at Solé…the list goes on. After dinner there is typically some form of entertainment going on. Global Spec-trum’s Broadway series shows are wonderful. Over the years I have seen great shows there like The Blue Man Group, CATS, Chicago, My Fair Lady and many, many more. As my music tastes started to expand so did my appreciation for the Augusta Sym-phony. Ours is truly first-class. If you have not been to a Sym-phony Series show or a POPS! at the Bell performance, you are truly missing out. One of the best shows I saw was the Au-gusta Symphony covering John Williams’s songs. Talk about an exciting night! I have also seen them play with the Temptations, Boyz II Men and many others. The Augusta arts scene is rapidly growing day by day. I love being able to call up a friend to design, paint, or mold things for my house or office. I could go on and on about the many wonderful arts opportunities here - the Augusta Ballet, Arts in the Heart of Augusta, the renovations of the Miller Theater, Garden City Jazz, the Westobou Festival – we are surrounded by talented folks.

For those who love country music, The Morris Museum of Arts’ Southern Soul and Song Series at the Imperial Theatre is one of the best bluegrass and Americana folk series in the South. They bring in timeless talent and the shows never disappoint. The Im-perial Theatre has hosted so many wonderful shows through its years. I saw two of my favorite artists of all time there - Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi - and I will never forget it. Hours earlier I even got to meet them at lunch when they were dining at Mi Rancho across from the Imperial. It is probably one of the only times in my life I have been star struck. All my fellow All-man Brothers fans know what I am talking about.

On Saturdays I love starting my day off with a trip to the Augusta Market. There are so many talented artists in our community and I love seeing their work each weekend at the market – not to mention all the freshly farmed produce. Between the Augusta Market and Augusta Locally Grown, we have such great access to farm-to-table staples now. Pack a picnic and enjoy a nice kayak cruise on the Savannah Canal or Bettys Branch. You can even fish in your kayak if you have the supplies. I love that Augusta has really expanded its outdoor options and with the half-Ironman coming here every year I can only expect it will get better and better.

Sundays are my favorite day of the week in Augusta. Everyone is always so happy. I love sharing a meal with family or friends after church and just seeing where the day takes us. Many Sun-days you can find me roaming the halls at the Morris Museum of Art Gallery or enjoying a delicious ginger mimosa at the Bees Knees or catching up on the latest gossip with my gal pals on the Partridge Inn’s veranda. Life is just too good in Augusta.

Augusta has provided such a wonderful life for me and I am so grateful for the many memories I have, the opportunities and life lessons. If you have not fallen in love with the city that is around you, maybe ask yourself: what’s holding you back? There is so much to do, but it’s just not going to fall into your lap. Go out and find it! Just like a relationship with a person, it takes work, it takes commitment and it takes time. Are you just taking? A healthy relationship always requires a little bit from both.

I am proud to call Augusta home.

We made our home here in Richmond County and quickly realized that Augusta is a wonderful place to raise our family and begin a business. We love the charm, warmth, and beauty of the Summerville area, and bought a 100-year-old home in 1982. For more than 30 years, we have been blessed to live in this house and have loved raising our four children here. As proud grandparents, we are also welcoming a new generation to our family and are thrilled to have two of our eight grandchildren just a stone’s throw away in Augusta.

Over the years, we have taken advantage of living near a thriving and growing university, now Georgia Regents University. Rick completed several courses at the univer-sity while in college, all four of our children took classes there through the joint enrollment program while in high school, and one of our daughters earned her master’s degree in education there. We also feel very fortunate to live in an area that is home to such an accomplished and well-respected medical community providing out-standing treatment to residents of Augusta and patients nationwide.

The Augusta Sports Council does an amazing job bringing world-class events to our city, and of course, the Masters® is a jewel in our crown for sure. We are always proud when thousands of visitors travel to Augusta that week in April to watch unparalleled golf and enjoy the traditions and picturesque scenery at Augusta National – from the soaring pines to the majestic magnolia trees. Like so many Augustans, I have found that no matter where I go or whom I meet, our hometown is widely known for its beauty, hospitality, and the unforgettable experience of attending the Masters®.

Augusta offers so much both to visitors and to those who call it home year-round. We began our small con-struction business, R.W. Allen and Associates, here in 1977, and with the continued growth and development especially to the downtown area, we moved our com-pany’s office to downtown Augusta almost 8 years ago. Throughout the CSRA, ongoing development and the hard work of individuals and businesses continue to make our city a better place.

Trinity-on-the-Hill United Methodist Church, our home church for 42 years, holds a special place in our hearts and was the initial reason we decided to move to Rich-mond County. As a piano teacher, former pianist, and

!In 1973, I was fortunate enough to move from one side of our great state of Georgia to the other when I married my husband, Rick W. Allen, who grew up in Evans, Georgia.


the children’s choir director for more than 20 years, we wanted to be close to the church—within walking dis-tance. My husband and I have been intimately involved with the community, serving on many boards of com-mendable organizations over these many years, and we feel a real kinship to Augusta, Georgia. It has been good to us, and we have strived to be good to it.

Over the past several years, as we have traveled through-out this city and the surrounding areas, we were shown love and support beyond measure. We are eternally grateful, and today it is our great honor to represent our community in Washington, D.C. as my husband serves Georgia’s 12th district in U.S. Congress. Spending time in Washington, D.C. the past 6 months has further en-hanced my appreciation for Augusta, both for our city and its wonderful people. I hold our Augusta friendships close to my heart, and I know that they will always be there for us.

We have attended our children’s games at Richmond Academy. We have seen downtown transform with new restaurants and industry. We have laughed, cried, and sat on our back porch swing watching first our children play, and now our grandchildren. Augusta is at the heart of our most cherished memories, and I will always be proud and grateful to call it home.

Those words from John Wayne’s “America, Why I Love Her” always resonate when I think of the city of Augusta.

Augusta is many things to many people… it’s the Gar-den City, golf central, the birthplace of soul, the silicon valley of The South. And unfortunately, for some, Augusta is a convenient whipping boy for those who harbor frustration or resentment toward their peers for unrealized potential – that of the collective com-munity’s or their own.

For me, this is where I grew up, and where I choose to call home. Augusta is home to my family, and to an ever-expanding creative class and collaborative com-munity. And downtown is the epicenter of it all.

Yes, downtown. The diamond in the rough. The place where some have said dreams go to die. But upon closer inspection, you notice a tightly knit collective of independent businesses, whose owners are heavily invested in the Central Business District. You’ll notice individuals from disparate industries coming together to address our community’s challenges.

City leaders, business professionals, and technical wiz-ards are building stronger human and computer net-works. Public school students connect with entrepre-neurs and develop new disruptive technologies. Visual and performance artists are leveraging partnerships to bring beauty to unexpected spaces. Augusta does indeed have its challenges – transportation, education, industry, etc. And every now and again, someone asks “why do you stay here? Why haven’t you moved away to make music in The Big City or on the road?”

I always welcome the question, because the answer is obvious.

Everything I need is right here in the Greater Augusta area, and most of it downtown. Music, cultural festi-vals, historical structures, and countless opportunities to engage with the community. The Saturday Market, the Jessye Norman School, and Arts in the Heart of Augusta, all provide opportunities for me to pursue my passion and interests while serving the public. Here, I get to combine my love for music with my love for the downtown community.

Over the past few years, I’ve sought in earnest to discover solutions to our community’s challenges and to understand why, for so many Augustans, the best answer is always “because we’ve always done it this way.” My husband has helped me to understand that you get out of life what you put into it…that what you see in others is simply a reflection of yourself.

The person in my mirror is convinced that there are always pathways to “yes,” that anything is possible once one decides that it shall be.

I see the tremendous resource that is our community. I see the gifts and talents on a daily basis, ready to

!

“You ask me Why I Love Her? Well, give me time. I’ll explain.”


be utilized for the common good. I see growth and opportunity, as our public education system receives a much-needed shot in the arm. I see the potential for innovation as more and more youth and millenni-als become increasingly engaged in social and political action. I see creatives forming strategic alliances and stamping out the notion of the starving artist.

All of these things create a kind of synergy unique to downtown Augusta. We are family, and we understand that we need one another to survive. The sum of what we can accomplish together greatly eclipses any milestone that we reach from our personal silos. In downtown Augusta, 2+2>4. Though the City has no formal initiative or plan in place to support or pro-mote small business ownership or to bring residents and visitors downtown, “townies” continue to work together to build a sense of place and to develop a viable collaborative economy.

It’s who we are. It’s what we do. We create. We inno-vate. We build. We respect. We live…and we love. We are Downtown Augusta.

A diamond in the rough is what I see when I look in the mirror, honestly. Karen needs polishing and refine-ment. Karen could use a good image consultant and publicist... a fresh coat of paint and a new wardrobe.

I am downtown. I am Augusta. I am the arts.

To reference Mr. Wayne, You ask me Why I Love Her? I’ve got a million reasons why.

Karen is a force to be reckoned with in the local creative community in general and jazz community in particu-lar. She founded Garden City Jazz, an organization that puts on a long list of local concerts and performances aimed at fostering the love of jazz and introducing jazz to new fans. Find concert listings and programs at www.gardencityjazz.com.

It’s who we are. It’s what we do. We create. We innovate. We build. We respect. We live… and we love. We are Downtown Augusta.

The walls of Betsy’s home/office are covered with stacks of sparkly necklaces, and there’s a steady stream of foot traffic from girls making

jewelry and getting new jewelry. It’s the headquarters of Betsy Pittard Designs, the jewelry design company that Betsy has grown from a one-

woman operation to a continent-spanning line that is sold in more than 200 stores nationwide, some as far away as Hawaii. She has a long list

of customers-turned-employees who assemble necklaces and bracelets for her in exchange for store credit, and also serve as great walking

billboards. Her signature bracelet “stacks” or statement necklaces can be seen around town anywhere trendsetters hang, and are sold at Soho

or The Ivy Boutique. Betsy says the biggest misconception people have about following her working in her dream job is that it’s a piece of cake.

“It’s fun, and it’s rewarding, but it’s not easy,” she says. “I work 19-hour days.” To keep refreshing her jewelry designs, she has to be aggressive

about making time for creativity, setting aside time for her to be alone and try out new ideas. “I have to be by myself, and it’s usually 3 a.m. or

super late,” she says.

Ferneasa cutno | can’t Stop Dancing

Growing up in New Orleans with a professional Lindy hop dancer for a mother, Ferneasa can’t remember a time when she wasn’t dancing. “I

think everyone dances in New Orleans,” she says. For her, dancing was more than just entertainment – it made her come alive. “I just feel at

home in my body when I’m dancing,” she says. A third-generation small business owner, she opened her first dance studio in a basement at age

16 with the help of her mother, teaching neighborhood kids how to dance. With stops along the way in New York City and all over the world,

she wound up in Augusta more than 20 years ago and opened Cutno Dance Center for Dance Education in 1995. Since then, she’s built a busi-

ness dedicated to fostering a love of dance in students of all ages. With her younger students specifically, she puts an emphasis on exposing them

to expert clinicians and allowing them to help teach other students from the time they’re as young as 10 years old. “I want to show them the

possibilities,” she says. “I love seeing that light in their eyes.”

Lessie says she got involved in public service because she “didn’t know any better.” From the age of 13, she worked for voter education and voter

registration in Blackville, S.C. in a time where such involvement from a young black woman could be met with verbal and physical abuse. “I’ve just

always been inquisitive about how government works, and why communities look so differently,” she says. One of ten children raised on a farm

in rural South Carolina, she never imagined that she would one day be an elected official, recently announced as a candidate for Mayor of Aiken.

When she originally entertained the idea of running for mayor, Lessie says she went to her family first to see what they thought. “I needed to

be convinced,” she says. Ultimately, they persuaded her to throw her hat in the ring and she is now working towards the November 3 election.

One of her chief goals is to pull together the two ends of Aiken’s population, those with a great amount of resources and those without. “In

Aiken, we have a big divide,” she says. “But I am convinced that the people here with resources want to help, they just don’t know how.”

Have I ever told you how much I love your nickname? “The Garden City.” Yes, of course, your azaleas and camellias. And wow, your wisteria. But it’s your edibles that turn my head, pique my interest, keep me wanting more.

I love that you have two potato seasons. I love that kale can grow nearly year-round. What an intellectual turn-on, knowing that I’ve got to outsmart birds and squirrels to win your figs and muscadine. Rosemary hedges? Heck yea. Wild dewberries along your canal? Yummy. You’re so hot, Augusta … too hot for cilantro in summer.

Whoever planted loquats in front of your parking garages raised you right. So too, the people who thought to put pears and pomegranates along your lanes between Crawford and Eve streets. (But don’t worry, Augusta, your secrets are safe with me.) You crack me up, the way you fool folks with your urban-garden okra, the police mistaking it for something a little less legal. And did you know you’ve got guerilla-planted sweet corn on a small stretch of North Belair in Evans? Just wondering if you meant that to happen. It’s adorable either way.

Yep. You’re high maintenance. Not gonna lie. How utterly frustrating you are to this Midwestern girl who hasn’t grown a single summer squash - since we met, 10 years ago - without the high drama of vine bores. Ornamental sweet potatoes? Really Augusta? Why not the good tasting kind? Do you remember that time your locust ate my cucumbers? You don’t? Because I swear it was just, like, yesterday.

You’re young, Augusta. I just keep reminding myself of that fact. The hotties that are Athens and Savannah and Atlanta (with its 19-plus farmers markets – be still my heart!) are not better than you. Just more mature. You’ll ripen with age, too. And I’ll be waiting. Patiently. Just me, and you, and my fork.
