  • September 7,1995 Western Carolinian 13 Environment The "New River" in Bryson City ? T\ickasegee May Be Rerouted by Bryan Hunter StaffReporter The town of Bryson City, North Carolina, approximately 20 miles west of Sylva, is in the planning stages of building a Whitewater racing course on the Tuckasegee River. The projected race course will be two miles long and run through the heart of downtown Bryson City. Jack Cox, Press Secretary for Charles Taylor, said that Taylor is asking for $200,000 to be appropriated by Congress, for the Army Corps of Engeineers to: • Survey the cost for removal of a man made island already there. • Conduct a study to find out what it would take to place man made objects in the river bed in order to create rapids for a racecourse.. Then comes the building stage. Town Manager William Gregory said, "in order to create rapids for the race course we are going to pice rifts (objects used divert water flow) and concrete stuctures in the riverbed." "When asked if the study included an environmental impact survey to see if the diversions would effect fish and other stream life, Gregory said, "No, the goal of this project is to keep Bryson City alive, if we don't stay alive there is no use to keep the fish alive. According to Jack Cox a preliminary "reconaisance" study will be carried out. Cox said, "there should be some kind of environmental impact study included in the whole process." William Dickert, head of Nantahala Racing Club said that he had only heard rumors of the project. When asked how he felt about diverting the river, he said, "It depends on where it is and what it looks like when they're done." He went on to add, "that's a nice spot, I think it could be done tastefully and if so, that would be great." This whole project got under way in May, when William Gregory asked Taylor for funding. The Department of Energy and Water Development had already held it's annual budget hearings in February, so it will be February of 1996 before the caseis reviewed. What's up with those @#$%@ loggers? * Hello and welcome to a new section of ^Western Carolinian. This section of the paper will take a look at some of the environmental issues facing this area today. I want t0 be up front jn saying thst j think there has to be a balance between responsible and conscientious growth and Preservation of our natural resources and recreation treasures. The beauty of our region attracts many visitors, and their o'lars, every year. Since my first semester at Western (the fall of 1992) I have seen a considerable increase in traffic and development throughout Jackson and its neighboring counties (rumors circulating °n campus say that some of the dorms are 1 but busting at the seams). Loggers want to cut trees. Tourists s °P at scenic overlooks along the Parkway ° 0ok ^forested mountains. It is inevi- 1 le, as more people populate the Earth, at demand for lumber will go up. But °re people equals less privacy, more ress, and therefore increased demand for Relaxing vacation. Can we really expect attract tourists with "picturesque views 0 hare mountains and babbling brown streams without trout." Indeed, compromise is the key. ^——____________— When the Founding Fathers of this country were setting up Congress a heated debate ensued. Naturally, the larger states wanted representation to be based on population, while the smaller states wanted each state to have an equal say. Then came reconciliation — a two- house legislature, one has two members from every state and the other's membership is based on population. The rest, as they say, is hisrory. Over the course of this school year we want to offer you lots of thought- provoking reports (and a little bit of commentary) about the conservation issues facing our region.Here are some examples of upcoming features: • Each week we will feature a local wild plant with cullinary or medicinal value. • A water release schedule for the Tuckasegee River. • An assessment of drinking water quality in the this area. • A list of local "danger spots" where thrillseekers have gotten more than they bargained for. • And articles on other issues pertaining to the environment. Itfs your right! Every week I will give you the address of a state or national legislator from both parties. Write to them and speak your mind. Rep.

Oldtimers say "brew some sassyfras" by James Gray Associate Editor The sassafras tree, Sassafras albindum, grows throughout the Eastern United States in clearings, roadsides, and open forest areas. Although sassafras is usually shrublike and no more than two meters tall in this area, it can reach a height of about 18 meters.. The distinctive leaves of the sassafras are eliptical with lobes on both sides; or one lobe, either to the left or the right. Some leaves have no lobes and are simply eliptical. It is common for two or three leaf patterns to be present on the same plant. Larger specimens may produce blue berries. The bark, leaves, and roots have a sweet, spicy aroma. Up until the early 20th century sassafras extract was used to flavor root beer and make soap. The Native Americans, who obviously named sassafras, used it as a cold remedy. In Foxfire, a series of books documenting southern Appalachian culture, many of the oldtimers interviewed extolled the virtues of sassafras root tea. Growing up I remember my Grandmother boiling a "heapin' handful" (about 3-4 ounces) of skinned sassafras roots in a quart of water. S. albindum UJE ARE LOOKING for a better title for this new section. Who better to name it than you. Send your ideas to: Western Carolinian, c/o James Gray, P0 Box 66, Cullowhee, NC 28723 Or bring them to the Old Student Union.
