Newsbriefs Poets here Three Appalachian poets, Jim Wayne Miller of Bowling Green, KY, Jean F.llcn Magers of Whittier and Paul Rice of Asheville, will read from their works Tuesday, Sept. 16, at Western Carolina Universitys Mountain Heritage Center as part of the university's week-long mountain heritage celebration. The reading is part of WCU's third annual Appalachian Poetry Night program which begins at 7:30 p.m. in Founders Auditorium at the center. Balladeer Cass Wallin of Sodom Laurel in Madison County will begin the program and the poetry reading will follow. At 9:00 p.m., there will be a reception in the foyer of the Mountain Heritage Center. Miller, a native of Leicester in Buncombe County, is the author of 'The 'Mountains Have Come Closer,' 'Copperhead Cane,' 'The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same,' and 'Dialogue With A Dead Man.' In addition to those volumes of petry, he has written numberous short stories, essays and articles of Appalachian folklore and folklife. Dr. Miller is a professor of German language and ltte'reature at Western Kentucky University. Jean Ellen Magers is a native of Jackson County although she spent her childhood in Purvis, Miss. She has taught English in colleges and high school in Florida, Louisiana and North Carolina for 16 years and only recently began focusing her attention on writing poetry. She has published a chapbook entitled 'Mountain Women.' Rice is a member of the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Asheville where he teaches creative writing and composition. Ktcc was raised on a tarni in Georgia and his poetry, when it treats the South, deals with the juxtaposition of art and especially the art of language upon an environment known for its physical harshness. In conjunction with the reading. Miller will conduct a poetry workshop on Wednesday, Sept. 17, as the sixth participant in 'The Arts Journal' Poetry Forum Series. The workshop, sponsored by the WCU Mountain Heritage Center, will be from 10 a.m. until noon in Room 147 of the center. Workshop participants are invited to submit no more than two poems for consideration in the workshop. Poems should be sent to Phyllis Lang, 'The Arts Journal,' 324 Charlotte St., Asheville, NC 28801. There is no charge for admission to Poetry Night or to the workshop. MHD country run The Cullowhee-Sylva Kiwanis Club will sponsor the Mountain Heritage Day Country Run again this year at Western Carolina University's Mountain Heritage Day on Sept. 20. The fourth annual run will be over a five-mile course and will begin at 9 a.m. at Reid Gymnasium. There will be male and female age divisions as well as team competition between families and WCU faculty and administrative units. The family competition, called the "Mountain Family Championships," will feature teams of from two to five family members competing against other families. The families will score points for their team on the basis of each member's finish within his or her age division. The course, slightly hilly, will have a water station and emergency medical care units will be on alert. Times will be cabled out at each mile and the official time will be kept with an electronic timer. Shower and dressing room facilities will be available. Each participant who finishes the race will receive a T-shirt designed and silk-screened by the WCU department of art. Other awards will include trophies, placques and ribbons. Teams from several departments and administrative units at Western are expected to challenge the psychology department for the faculty-administration championship. The psychology department is the reigning champion by virtue of last year's victory over the departments of human services, mathematics and elementary education. Teams are composed of faculty, administrators, staff, and others who draw salaries from the same departmental or administrative unit. Team scores are computed by a formula taking into account both age and gender. Persons wishing to enter in advance may pick up entry blanks at "Another World" stamp shop or "The Lyons' Den" in Sylva or at Pressley's Baber Shop in Cullowhee. For further information, contact George Maginnis at the reading center in Killian Building at WCU or by telephone at 293-9642. Entry is $4 in advance, $5 on race day. There is an additional $2 team entry fee. Each team member is required to pay the individual entry fee, also. Ground school Beginning October 2, 1980, there will be a private pilot ground ichopl taught at Southwestern Technical College. This course will meet at 6:30 on Tuesday and Thursday and will last until December. This course is designed to prepare the student for his FAA private pilot exam. It will be taught by Ernie Jones, who holds an Airline Transport Pilot Certificate and Dave Curtis. The tuition fee is $45, and includes Jeppesen Private Pilot Course notebook, plotter. computer, and sectional. Everyone interested is encouraged to call 586-4091 for more information or to register. Pottery exhibit An exhibit of traditional fold pottery handcrafted by Lanier Meaders of White County, GA, will be on display Sept. 16 through Oct. 9 in the Chelsea Gallery of A.K. Hinds University Center at Western Carolina University. The exhibit will open at 3 p.m. Sept. 16 with a public reception in the gallery. During the opening, a Smithsonian Institute film about Meaders and his Family pottery will be shown at 4 p.m. in the Cherokee Room of the University Center. Copies of a 16-pagc catalogue in which Meaders discusses his work and life also will accompany the exhibit. The catalogue, entitled 'A Conversation With Lanier Meaders.' was printed specifically for the WCU show and contains a number of photographs of Meaders at work at Meaders Pottery in Georgia. Meaders. who is in his 60s, is best known for his large face jugs and functional folk pottery, including such things as churns, bowls, pitchers and candle holders. His work has received national acclaim largely because it exemplifies a family folk tradition that dates back to 1893 when his grandfather built Meaders Pottery and encouraged his sons to learn the craft. Today. Meaders is the last member of the family- still working as a potter. Like his father and four uncles before him, he continues to make pots using an old treadle wheel and 19th century, wood-fueled groundhog kiln, as well as clay that has undergone little processing and is free of commercial ingredients. His work, according to art critics, 'exemplifies the ash-gla/cd objects made throughout the 19th cental . and emanates a sense of unselfeonseiousiiess and craftsmanship which ma) well be an expression of the simple lifestyle of the Meaders family.' Holt to perform Those who have heard of David Holt say he's good, but those who have actually heard him say that he is belter than good. Either way. Holt's two appearances next week at Western Carolina University promise to be entertaining. Holt is the 33-year-old director of the Appalachian music program at Warren Wilson College in Swann- anoa. A concert with him typically includes mountain takes, ballads and tunes told and played on banjo, hammer dulcimer, autoharp, squeeze box, guitar, harmonica, bones, spoons, his head, his legs or most any object within reach that happens to be in key. But Holt is more than simply an entertaining musician. He is an experienced teacher and collector of traditional music and the lifeline of some nearly extinct Appalachian musical styles. His initial appearance at WCU during the week leading up to Mountain Heritage Day will be Monda\ at 7 p.m. in the auditorium of the Natural Sciences Building when he addresses the University Forum on 'Mountain Music: Where it comes from and where it is going.' Holt will return Saturday, Sept. 20, to perform on Mountain Heritage Day. He is scheduled to perform and be master of ceremonies on the Belk Building stage from 10 a.m. until 12:45 p.m. and then perform at the Mountain Heritage Center at 3:30 p.m. Holt holds a bachelor's degree from the University of California at Santa Barbara's College of Creative Studies. He has been coordinator of the Warren Wilson program since 1975. He has toured throughout the U.S. and several foreign countries and won numerous prizes and championships for old time banjo playing. Holt was the old-time banjo champion for both 1974 and 1975 at Fiddler's Grove in Union Grove. He has appeared on regional and national television, worked with the Voice of America radio program and is a recording artist with June Appal Records.
