February 29,1996 Western Carolinian Human Resources Wildlands: Common Ground? by Chris Boedeker Staff Reporter Last week, from February 22-25, eight WCU students and two faculty members had the opportunity to participate in the Wilderness Education Association (WEA) National Conference for Outdoor Leadership. The conference was held in beautiful Fall Creek Falls State Park on the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee. After celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Wilderness Act, WEA's focus at the conference was directed towards the preservation of our wildlands through education. Consisting of workshops led by nationally renowned outdoor leadership instructors and wilderness educators from academia and natural resource management agencies, WEA's conference was the place to learn about wilderness. In attendance were Paul Petzoldt, founder of WEA, and Paul Pritchard, president of the National Parks and Conservation Association, among others. WEA was founded in 1977 by Paul Petzoldt and other leaders from the academic community concerned with outdoor leadership and preservation of our country's wildlands. Petzoldt, age 88, is considered the father of mountaineering in this country. At the age of 16, he was the second person to climb the Grand Tetons and made his last climb at the age of 83. He also founded the National Outdoor Leadership School in 1965. Petzoldt is truly a legend in our time, providing inspiration to the growing conservation movement and outdoor leadership instructors from all over the world. The conference theme of "Wildlands: Common Ground," was chosen in order to spotlight the state of our wildlands today. There has been a growing emphasis on the preservation of our wildlands in this country. Unfortunately, much of this emphasis has not been positive. The logger blames the environmentalist, the environmentalist blames the rancher, and the rancher blames the government. It has been a tough situation to deal with because those involved cannot get past placing the blame on one another. The preservation of our wildlands is important for everyone who uses them, whether it is the logger, the rancher, or the outdoor enthusiast. On Saturday of the conference, a panel—which consisted of a member from the the American Motorcycle Association, a Tennessee State Naturalist, a hunter from the Elk Foundation, and a member from the Land Between the Lakes Committee— discussed the theme of common ground. The panel provided a good insight into why our wildlands need attention. Saturday night, Paul Petzoldt presented the Paul Petzoldt Award to Vance Martin, the founder of the WILD Foundation. Martin, who has devoted his life to the preservation of our wildlands, is part responsible for the establishment of the International Wilderness Congress, which is to be held in India for its next session. Petzoldt asserted that Martin is living proof that one person can make a difference. Overall, the conference was a success. A lot of important issues were raised and discussed. The conference was a great place to learn about the latest in a number of topics concerning outdoor leadership and wildland conservation, not to mention a good place to make new friends. Each day of workshops was followed by a reception, with a bluegrass band on Saturday night. It was a lot of fun to see such hard-working professionals in the field of outdoor leadership 'let their hair down.' In attendance from WCU were: Dr. Maurice Phipps, Lynn Brandon, Shane Williams, Amy Brennan, Bianca Klar, Lance Love, Keenan Glasgow, Jason Fleming, T. Davis, and Chris Boedeker. The Future of Our Forests by David Westbrook Staff Reporter The American Forest Congress (AFC) concluded four days of meetings on Saturday, Feb. 24. These meetings were held to settle disputes between environmentalists and the logging industry. The AFC's conference was attended by landowners, union leaders, timber executives, forest rangers, hikers and bikers, academics and environmental activists. Discussions about the consumption of forest products, protection of property rights and the preservation of aging forests were held to provide an outlet for opinions of groups represented at the conference. Sponsors of the conference said that the negotiations were one of the largest of it's kind. Brock Evans, an attending environmentalist, said, "We had a great amount of sympathy, far more than expected" from adversaries in the logging industry. The conference was held while a struggle continued over a law passed by Congress last year to facilitate accelerated logging on public land. This bill, known as the salvage rider, was initially vetoed by President Clinton but was later signed into law when it was added to an unrelated spending bill. The logging industry claimed victory when the AFC convincingly voted against endorsing the repeal of the logging law. The environmentalists' standpoints included the repeal of a recently enacted law that decreases the size of logging barriers. These barriers were implemented by other laws devised to maintain acceptable water quality as well as protect endangered species and wildlife habitats. Representatives of the logging industry said that the results of the conference "struck a balance between environmental concerns and economic realities," but some industry spokesmen were more negative in their assessments of the opinions generated in the conference when they used the term "extremists" to refer to more adamant environmentalists. These spokesmen also suggested that the conservationists' priorities be ignored. Environmentalists were reconciled because participants agreed on" an open legislative process" to take place whenever timber laws change. The AFC also agreed that citizens have the right to seek administrative and judicial reviews of logging sales under environmental laws. Information provided by the Raleigh News and Observer, Feb. 25. WCU Health Fair Updates Students on Wellness by Jennifer Jackson Staff Reporter March 3-9 is National Collegiate Health and Wellness week, and the Wellness Center is celebrating by sponsoring a Wellness Fair on Tuesday, March 5, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. "Everyone is welcome. My goal is to expose faculty, students and staff to a variety of wellness issues," said Carla Cosio, Wellness Coordinator. Many organizations, both on and off campus, will be participating in the fair. In all, there will be around 30 different topics represented. The fair will give information of many different health and fitness issues ranging from vision tests and nutrition information to career planning and fashion advice. Besides sponsoring the fair, the Wellness Center will providetwo tables about stress and STDs. "I will be wearing the condom outfit for a little while," said Cosio. The entertaining outfit—a body-size condom worn especially for promotional reasons—is used for increasing the education and awareness of the student body. All of the tables will give free information and demonstrations except the cholesterol and diabetes screening, which will cost $5 each. Students will also have to wait for these test results to be mailed. The only booth that will not be there the whole day is the acupressure display, which will last from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. "People can walk around to each station. They don't have to go to all of them. They can pick and choose what they want," said Cosio. There will be a lot of booths to look at, and some will offer "hands-on" activities. For example, there will be a therapist at the massage table to give people neck and shoulder rubs. The hearing and vision testing tables will be interactive as well. Everyone should be able to find an interest at this event. There will be professionals at the skin cancer booth to give advice on how to recognize a possible problem area or blemish indicative of cancer. HIV and AIDS information will be given at another table. Even facts on smoking and how it affects the body will be on display. The smoking table will have a dummy that shows how the smoke travels through the body and how it affects a pregnant woman, said Cosio. "This is the first Wellness Fair in at least two years. I hope everyone will take some time to come because it will be a lot of fun just to be exposed to some new and different issues," Cosio added. If you want more information about the Wellness Center, contact Carla Cosio at 227-7081. In case of construction delays, if the fair is not in Reid Fitness Center then it will be held in Dodson Cafeteria. The Western Carolinian is printed on recycled, and recyclable, paper. The Carolinian & Physical Plant staff encourage students to recycle, #^ rather than trashing our ^w£j community. ®
