Swamp People

We caught the new series Swamp People Last Night on the Discover Channel and Wow.    A good friend of the 11th Hour's actually got a gator hunting permit this year, and has invited us to come along, and after watching this documentary on old school Cajun Gator hunters has us hooked. The authenticity among the people is what hooked us.  One old guy says "If I died tomorrow and some feller up in New York City got my heart, well, he'd find himself down here in the Louisiana Swamps Hunting gators before too long.  It's just a part of me."  Dig it here.

Postcards From Macon PDF Print E-mail

Maryann Bates unveils a new side of herself in “Postcards to Macon” the new exhibit of her photography opening in The Gallery at Macon Arts Alliance on First Friday, September 3.  Her byline is known by most from her decades-long career as a photojournalist here in the midstate or for her signature “Framed” portraits depicting “locals” in various states of disguise, in and around a picture frame.  For this new show she’s taking us all for a  memory trip.
“It started on a trip to see Ryan in Hawaii.” Maryann went west to visit her eldest son a few months back.  “I love the old, vintage postcards and pictures of Hawaii from the 50’s and 60’s. When I was there I was struck by the beauty and timelessness of it. I just had to shoot pictures. I came home with a couple thousand images. I liked the ones that made me giggle – that were quirky and unique.”
Back in November Maryann had lost her mother and since then giggles were few and far between.  In the aftermath she discovered a cache of old family photo albums and memorabilia. In it were her family’s postcards from vacations of her childhood – the same vintage, pastel hues of idyllic, sunny scenes.
“My mom had saved this scrapbook I’d made in the fifth grade and in it was an old brochure for Weeki Wachee.” Maryann grew up in Florida but never made the journey to Weeki Wachee Springs, the pop culture oddity turned state park just north of Tampa, Florida, that features live Mermaid shows in a retro-fabulous amusement park style setting.
The old brochure reignited a lifelong desire to go there and do that so she and her husband, Larry, and youngest son, Logan, packed up and headed south.
“It’s like stepping back in time to the 50’s or 60’s,” says Maryann of her walk through Weeki Wachee. “You go underground and see the mermaids… I felt like I was 10 again.”
Florida was one of eleven states she visited in one year. And everywhere Maryann went her camera was sure to go. “L.A., New York, Williamsburg, Washington, DC, Hawaii, Florida…” Then Ryan came home and on a jaunt to Atlanta they decided to look for “roadside oddities” like the one’s she’d seen in other states. A theme began to emerge, a theme new to the accomplished lens jockey.
“Not many people have seen this stuff,” she says. The collection will be featured in this new exhibit she calls “Postcards to Macon.” You can see the images for the first time and meet Maryann at the free Opening Reception at the First Street gallery from 5 to 8 p.m. on First Friday this Labor Day weekend.
One piece featuring an otherworldly Weeki Wachee mermaid made its debut in the Taste of the Arts silent auction August 21. The iconic American pop image elicited the same kind of response in many who saw it. “I can’t tell you how many people told me their childhood stories of traveling with their families. It was really incredible.“
These new images remind Maryann of her own family, particularly of her mom.  “I’ve thought about her a lot. I think she’d have loved to see this. She would think it’s cool.”
“None of these pictures is going to change the world,” Maryann muses. “I just hope it makes people smile or laugh and opens their eyes to the beauty and quirkiness all around us.”

The season ends with a bang for the Macon Pinetoppers PDF Print E-mail
Written by Brad Evans   
Thursday, August 12 2010 08:56
pinetoppersWhat can only be described as a successful first season for owners Bill Larson and Chris Diserio of the Peach State League, the season finale ended with a bang; a fireworks show and the league’s largest attendance on Saturday, August 7.
Larson says, “The summer was hot, and the heat was definitely a factor for some of the games attendance, but overall, and especially the last half of the season, our numbers were great.” Larson not only managed the players and the games, but also took care of the fans, organizing giveaways, promotions and always asking for feedback. And the consensus; Macon loves it’s baseball, and the Pinetoppers will be back!
“With the changes we made during the season, it became evident to me that families wanted us to stay, it was always positive. We already know of some improvements, like ceiling fans to keep our fans cool all season. We feel there is a commitment from major sponsors like Aaron's, Chick Fil A, Geico, and others that see the value of family entertainment. And our commitment is to come back and make it better,” says Larson.
And the players? Twelve of the League’s players moved up to higher classifications, either signed by minor or major league teams. And that, Larson says, is the main reason for being here. They’ve created a unique league that gives undrafted players a chance to move up.
