  • Carolinian Christine Kane Kicks Off Coffeehouse Entertainment Season Folk singer-songwriter Christine Kane will perform in the Cherokee Room October 23. Christine Kane has rapidly become one ofthe most sought-after acts in the Southeast region. Her captivating performances, unique songwriting and fine musicianship have made her a favorite on college campuses, in coffeehouses and large music clubs. Now, Christine is releasing her second CD, A Thousand Girls, and will be opening the coffeehouse entertainment season at Western Carolina University on Thursday, October 23. The CD, which is not officially released until October 28, has already started getting national attention from record labels and music critics. One critic called her "kind of a cross between Paul Simon, Shawn Colvin, and the very best friend you've ever had and could stay up all night talking to." Her writing is intelligence and emotion, the perfect mix of the mind and the heart. Her live performances are captivating and intimate. Kane's first CD, This Time Last Year, earned her national attention and led her to do shows with Shawn Colvin, Nanci Griffith, Rosanne Cash, and James McMurtry. She also appeared at the Philadelphia Folk Festival as a showcase act. Putamayo Records featured her song "OffThe Ground" on its release Women's Work, which featured songwriters such as Ani DiFranco, Ferron, and Janice Ian. Kane will perform in the Cherokee Room ofthe University Center at 9 p.m. For more info, contact LMP at (704)-227-7206.

They're Baaaack... by Phoebe Esmon With all this recent talk of safety, it would be unfair not to warn our readers of a very great danger to their physical and mental well-being. This time of year especially, one must always be on the lookout for Florida People. Now, before anyone gets offended, this term of endearment does not refer to WCU students from Florida, or their parents. The term "Florida People" refers more to a state of mind than a place of birth. The term can be applied to any and all people who own cars large enough to have their own area code and insist on driving them at 15 mph in the fast lane or on a two-lane road. These people are sometimes known as "Boat People," the name being a direct allusion to the size of their automobile. It is important that you, as residents of this area, know how to recognize and deal with the tell-tale signs of an impending infestation. The mountains are a tourist magnet at this time of year, and most of those tourists own Buicks, or something larger. They are easy to spot. The cars are usually a light color—champagne, white, or beige. You always know you are behind Boat People when you see four little white heads, rising above the head rests, like a box of Q- tips at attention. One offensive driving tactic employed by Florida People is the simultaneous point- and-brake. In this scenario, one of the Q- tips in the back seat reaches towards the front window, index finger extended. The second that index finger passes the driver's shoulder, all heads snap to, like they're watching some tennis match over the highway. Then they hit the brakes. They are not stopping— don't be mislead—they're just slowing way down. If one is behind a pack of Boat People of this sort, it might be wise to reconsider the urgency of one's mission. There seems to be a great misconception among these folks that since they aren't in a hurry, no one else is. The reality ofthe matter is that because they aren't in a hurry, everyone else is late. There is nothing more frustrating than following a silver Caddy the size of Toledo up Highway 107 to Cashiers. The thing's too wide for the lane it's in, and the people inside it are so busy staring out at the mountains that the car weaves back and forth, like a giant silverfish, slowly making its way to the top of a box of books. Thus, it is wise for all you students working at the country clubs up in and around the Highlands/Cashiers area to leave home an hour, maybe more (depending on the weather), before you have to be at work. This is no joke. Boat People often have lines of traffic behind them that stretch all the way to the bottom of the mountain. Boat People pose another threat, in that they often seem to be selectively blind and dumb. This means that no matter how many times you honk your horn and flash your brights at them, they will not pull over. They just tool along, oblivious to all but their little hermetically sealed viewing chamber. A warning: Don't try to ride their bumpers in an attempt to force them over. They'll just hit their brakes. Then they' 11 get a new boat, and you'll get the bill. And don't think that you can beat them onto the highways. Regardless of how early you get up, or what kind of out of the way route you take, they are there. And they are always in front of you. If you happen to get behind a group, where all the heads seem to be shaking and the hands are all pointing in different directions, give up and go home. They're lost. They will slow from a walk to a crawl before it's over. It would be better for you to just pull over and wait for 15 minutes. That way you could actually enjoy the view without a window between it and you. The Blue Ridge Parkway, Highway 107, Old 64, the Great Smoky Mountain National Park—any road that winds through the mountains towards a picturesque destination is fair game. Fall around here has become a giant game of chicken where the members of this community face off against the retired members of another community. So if you're planning an outing that involves a drive into the mountains, be sure to bring lots of patience, or a pillow. Stay tuned for part 2: the really big boat people—the ones that drive "Winnebagos.. Beaches Tanning Salon Go Cats!
