  • westerns* • arolmian 1-26: Corridor of Change by Jerylia Kodia The construction of Interstate 26 through remote sections of Madison County and its impact on a historic and storied region of the Southern Appalachians was the subject of a program presented Tuesday, Sept. 16, at Western Carolina University's Mountain Heritage Center. "Corridor of Change," presented at 7:30 p.m. in the center's Founders' Auditorium, focused on the cultural changes caused by the highway and the trade-offs involved when large-scale development occurs in small communities. "Corridor of Change" is funded in part by the N.C. Humanities Council and the Appalachian Consortium. Presenters included Rob Amberg, a documentary photographer specializing in social commentary and changes in rural communities. A resident of Madison County, Amberg has received several distinguished awards, including a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship and a Guggenheim Memorial Foundation fellowship. He has had solo exhibitions at numerous galleries and museums. Amberg's work was exhibited at WCU from January 15 to February 5 this year. His photographs will remain on exhibit at the Mountain Heritage Center this fall. The building of 1-26 shows how modern life is making its way into traditionally rural places. This interstate highway will bring progress, safe roads and access to better jobs to all residents of Madison County. But here Blood Drives Turn Fifty The American Red Cross is celebrating 50 years of blood collection. The program was begun in 1947 by the Board of Governors, constituting the largest peacetime health project ever conceived by the Red Cross. Since then, the ARC has made many developments in blood safety issues. These include the HIV antigen test, which screens blood for the HIV virus. Nearly six millions blood donations are received each year to serve 3,000 hospital across the country. Blood drives at schools, churches and other community centers have become normal institutions, and blood donation can be done on a lunch break. As the Red Cross celebrates this anniversary, it asks for only a couple of presents: volunteers and your blood. The next blood drive on campus is scheduled for September 30 and October 1- 2 on the third floor of the UC. Donors are invited to bestow gifts between 12:30 and 6:00 p.m. Anyone interested in volunteering for the Jackson County ARC can write to PO Box 2059, Sylva, 28779 or call 586-3228. is a darker side to all this—the part we never think about, hear about or read about. That is why the "Corridor of Change" project was set up. Amberg was a key player in the whole project. Originally from Washington, D.C., Amberg has lived in North Carolina for 24 years. He has learned to love the "old ways," as he calls them. He loves life so near to nature, tobacco fields, barns, and old buildings. He found them so visually intriguing that he started photographing them. The series of photographs presented at the Mountain Heritage Center represents the different phases of the highway's construction. The highway will bring safer roads, but it will undoubtedly disrupt many lives. For instance, one old couple had already had their house removed when Disney world was built in Orlando, Fla. Now, 1-26 will be passing through their house, so as they said, "We have to build new memories." During the presentation there was a slide-show featuring some heartbreaking pictures, such as one with a couple picking up apples in their orchards for the last time and one of an ancient cemetery being destroyed and graves being relocated. Memories are being effaced, lands are being broken down, houses are being removed and people are being dislocated. Some say this was inevitable; it was bound to happen. Others wonder if it is God's will. However, 20 years from now, these photographs may be the only momentos of an indigenous culture that was forced into obscurity. Meeting to Discuss Formation of Local NCYT Chapter Residents of Western North Carolina's seven westernmost counties will meet at Western Carolina University on Monday, Sept. 29, to discuss the formation of a local chapter of North Carolina Youth for Tomorrow (NCYT). The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. in the Catamount Room of WCU's A.K. Hinds University Center. NCYT is a statewide network of individuals interested in promoting the involvement of young people as staff, volunteers and board members for non-profit organizations. WCU's Mountain Resource Center and Duke University's Certificate in Non-Profit Management Program are combining efforts to support the expansion of NCYT in the counties of Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Haywood, Jackson, Macon and Swain. Those attending the meeting will share information about area non-profits and discuss NCYT's expansion and ways it can contribute to the region. June Smith, director of the Region A Partnership for Children, will be the featured speaker. For more information about the local NCYT group, contact Jenny Baumgartner, Mountain Resource Center, (800) 621-0008 or (704) 227-7492. ifeatures September 24, 1997 Arsenic Adventures by Kari Adams & Jess McNiel It's that time of year again. The trees are putting on their autumn colors, anxiously awaiting carloads of slow tourists; sweaters and jeans are being unpacked for cooler weather; and Western Carolina's University Players are kicking off their 97-98 theater season with the comedy clas- sic "Arsenic and Old Lace." Directed by Stephen Michael Ayers, the show has a cast as varied as the characters they portray. Senior theater student Michelle Thomas plays Martha Brewster, with Ellen Faull as Abigail Brewster—two elderly sisters with a few secrets. Kevin Dufour, who played Puck in last spring's production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," now appears as Teddy, the Brewsters' eccentric nephew. Josh Cox, who will play the theater critic Mortimer Brewster, adds "Arsenic" to the long list of plays he has appeared in. Leah Tiberius makes her first appearance on the Hoey stage as Elaine Harper, Mortimer's fiance. Jeff Messer plays Elaine's father, the Reverend Dr. Harper. Terry Nienhuis, last seen on the Hoey stage as Froggy Laseur in the 1995 production of "The Foreigner," will portray Jonathan Brewster, Mortimer's criminal brother. Sean Lakey plays Jonathan's sidekick and plastic surgeon, Dr. Einstein (no, a different Dr. Einstein). Tiffany Meade plays Lieutenant Rooney, with Steve Bryson as Officer Brophy, Heidi Beth Masarie as Officer Klein, and Katya Hill as Officer O'Hara. Jerry "Jay" Stallworth plays Mr. Gibbs, and Adam "Doctor" Loue plays Mr. Witherspoon. With danger, dysfunctional families, and dead bodies, "Arsenic and Old Lace" is a hilarious comedy for all ages. Show dates are September 30 through October 4 at 7:30 p.m. For reservations or Tiffany Meade, Josh Cox, Kevin Dufour. Photo by T.K. Roberts. season ticket information please call (704) 227-7491. Shows later this season include "The Passion of Dracula," "Equus," and "The 1940s Radio Hour," as well as some reader's theater and one-act events. With such a varied selection you have many opportunities to support the college theater and have many evenings of enjoyable entertainment. University Forum on General Education The General Education Review Committee is hosting a University Forum on General Education on October 1 in the Cherokee Room of the Hines University Center from 3-5 p.m. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the "Fundamental Principles of General Education," recently released by the Committee, as a basis for General Education at WCU. Ideas and issues from the Forum will provide important materials for the continuing work of the Committee. Everyone at the university interested in the general education program is invited. Part-time faculty, who play an important role in general education instruction, and students are urged to take part.
