Transcript

Western Carolinian October 27, 1994 Sports *P This week's hike takes us to Granite City. Why Granite City this week you ask? Well, since you brought it up, this week is special because it's going to be Halloween soon (Monday), and this particular hike has it's own personal spector who comes out on October 31 to wreak havoc upon her trespassers. Yes, it is a female ghost and her name, when alive, was Mrs. Heaton of Cashiers. In the late 1800's Mrs. Hannibal Heaton and her husband owned land off of Whiteside Cove Road near High Hampton. They lived at oeace for many years until one day a stranger came up their path. The man approached Mr. Heaton on a cold winter day about his land. The stranger offered him a large sum of money for his land to build a vacation golf resort. Mr. Heaton told the man he would have to talk to his wife and ran home. Legend has it Mrs. Heaton, upon hearing the news, let out a blood curdling yell and told him he could never sell it. She said she'd been born there and would die there, and if he ever sold it she would kill herself. Hannibal decided to decline on the man's offer since his wife was so obviously emotional about the land. A few years later another buyer came along and offered an even larger amount of cash, which would leave the Hea ton's rich beyond there dreams. The buyer's name was Dr. William S. Halstead of Baltimore. The second offer he took, in spite of the protests of his wife. Returning home with the bill of sale, Mr. Heaton found his wife hanging from the great oak tree, which still stands today. A white owl was flying about the head of the woman's shell screeching like a crying woman. That day Mr. Heaton disappeared from the valley, never to be seen again, and Mrs. Heaton was buried in the Upper Zachary Cemetery, now just a step from the High Hampton Inn. That same owl still flies over her land keeping watch, forever linked to the land from which she sprung. To this day many locals say that they have seen her flying over her land and have heard Mrs. Heaton crying out over the land she loves( the High Hampton- to - Granite City area). But if you stay past midnight, legend has it that Mrs. Heaton, I mean the white owl, will make sure you never get out. Directions: Take HWY 107 to Cashiers. Drive straight through the light approximately 4 miles. Take a right onto Whiteside Cove Road. Once the pavement ends, you will cross three small bridges and pass Whiteside Lake. Park the dirt pull-off on the left, take the trail across the road on the right, which is quite rocky, to Granite City. It's a great place for climbers and rock collectors. There are caves here and there which should not be explored without a flashlight-even in the daytime. Watch out for the hybernating Yogis and whatnot. Then get in on the ground floor in our Platoon Leaders Class program for all qualified college freshmen, sophomores and juniors. You could star earning money and building your career right out of college.

Frank Becvar Staff Reporter The WCU cross country teams competed in the 1994 North Carolina Collegiate Championships held in Charlotte on October 15. The men's team finished third, their highest finish ever at the event, and were boosted once again by a record setting performance by senior Donnie Reuss. The Lady Catamounts gave a great effort and ended up ninth in a field of 12 teams. NC State won the men's meet impressively placing five of its runners in the top twelve positions. Second place was claimed by UNC Chapel Hill with its top five runners finishing in the top twenty. WCU came in third with three runners in the top twenty, followed by (in order of finish) Duke, UNC Wilmington, UNC Asheville, Campbell, UNC Charlotte, East Carolina, Davidson, UNC Greensboro, and North Carolina AT&T. Recording another personal best time of 25:13.4 for eight kilometers, Reuss finished second in the meet (less than four seconds behind the winner, NC State's Jose Gonzalez). In the four meets in which Reuss has participated thus far, he has chalked up a first, two seconds, and a third. Turner Norris (sophomore) and Collin Webster (freshman) added strong support finishing 11th and 19th, respectively. In addition, Matt Gray from Reston, VA (35th) and David Chambliss from Mariett., GA (44th) completed the top five for WCU. The results of the women's race are as follows (in order of finish): UNC Chapel Hill, UNC Charlotte, UNC Wilmington, Duke, East Carolina, UNC Asheville, Campbell, Davidson, WCU, UNC Greensboro, North Carolina AT&T, and NC State. Kristin Savery, hailing from Palm Harbor, FL, ran a personal best of 19:36.3 (44th), and was the Catamounts first runner to finish. Melanie Lawing (20:04.8) and Amy Gibson (20:07.6) also ran personal bests at the five kilometer race. . The cross country team will next have to prepare for the Southern Conference Championships Meet on Saturday in Chattanooga.
