  • Dilisboro Chocolate Factory comes _ to Cullowhee by Sara Halterman * WCnewsmagazine Over the past year, Cullowhee has experienced major growth in university expansion, apartment building construction and road improvements, and local commerce in Cullowhee has been no exception. The latest edition to Cullowhees business park is the Dillsboro Chocolate Factory, located next to Wachovia on the WCU campus. The Chocolate Factory opened its doors in November 2004 to the Cullowhee community. The original Dillsboro Chocolate Factory has been operating since 1998 and was previously located in what is now Green Mountain Jewelry shop in Dillsboro. The original owner, Randy Lions, opened the shop at this location, making fudge and selling chocolates until he sold the shop to current owners David and Stacey Hepp. The Hepps stayed at this location for two years expanding the business to include homemade chocolates made from scratch, gourmet coffee and cocoa, fudge, cooking products, tea and coffee accessories. The Hepps decided they needed a larger space to accommodate their expanding business, so they packed up and moved across the street to what is now their current Dillsboro location, 7 Church Street. The Hepps had considered opening another store for a long time before it actually happened. The time just wasnt right, says Stacey Hepp about the possibility of another store. Staceys husband, David, is an Olympic Kayaker who has been on the U.S. Canoe and Kayak Team for ten years. He served as an alternate in the 2000 and 2004 Olympic games. Stacy Hepp has been raising their three children, Savannah 11, Abigail 4 and Lucy 18 months, while managing the Chocolate Factory, making all the chocolates by hand, filling wholesale and on-line orders. Between competing all over the world in kayak competitions, raising three small children and owning and operating their own business, the Hepps hardly had time to open another store. However, the Hepps wanted another store and knew that at some point the right time would come. When the time did come, the Hepps considered many locations for their store. A lot of people wanted us to open a store in Cashiers or Waynesville and even agreed to back us if we decided to do that, says Stacey Hepp. Despite the high dollar profits that could possibly generate from choosing such a location and the interests of investors, the Hepps wanted to choose the right place that felt right for them. The Hepp family has lived in Cullowhee for the past six years and loves the town and its community, It's nice to play in the yard with the kids and hear the games from the stadium and the marching band, says Stacey about the area. Stacey Hepp says a lot of Western faculty and students visit her Dillsboro shop, and she likes the interaction with the university community. By choosing Cullowhee as the location for their new shop, the Hepps can stay close to the community they love while accommodating the needs of customers in the Cullowhee area. The Dillsboro Chocolate Factory at Cullowhee offers handmade chocolates made fresh daily, truffles, seasonal items, gourmet coffee and espresso, candies, fudge, ice-cream, tea pots, coffee makers and more. Currently the shop is open Monday through Friday opening at 8 a.m. There are no set hours yet because David and Stacey are taking suggestions as to when they should be open for business. They want the Cullowhee community to suggest store hours so that they can better accommodate your schedule. To make a suggestion one can stop by the store or call them at 293-0502 or email at info@dillsboro.com. The Chocolate factory does accept debit cards for those who may be low on pocket cash. Owner, Stacey Hepp is currently talking with Residential Living about the possibility of setting up a care package service for students. If the plan is approved, parents, family or friends will be able to request a care package made by the Dillsboro Chocolate Factory for students. These students would then be notified that a care package is awaiting them at the Chocolate Factory. This service is still under development but will hopefully be open to students in the near future. The Hepps encourage the community _ woe to stop in and see what the Dillsboro Chocolate Factory has to offer, and this new edition to campus will be hard to pass up. Editorial Note: try the Chocolate Cinnamon Cocoa Amore; you won't regret it! WCnewsmagazine Dr. John Merriman visits WCU History Department by Jennifer Scism + Wenewsmagazine On Friday, Nov. 13, Dr. John Merriman visited Western Carolinas History Department. Dr. Merriman is a professor at Yale University and has written numerous books on French and Modern European History. His family lives in France one half of the year and the other half in New Haven, Connecticut. Dr. Merriman was awarded an honorary doctorate in France as well as the Yale University Byrnes-Sewall Teaching Prize in 2000. In his most recent publication, The Stones of Balazuc: A French Village in Time, Dr. Merriman tells the history of Balazuc, a small French village in the south of France. Balazuc lies on the Ardeche River about an hour and a half from the Mediterranean Sea. Being this close to the Riviera, Balazuc, with its marvelous climate, is subject to yearly tourism. Dr. Merriman lives with his family in Balazuc and, therefore, they witness this tourism growth every season. But with tourism comes many changes in atmosphere, and Balazucs small population of less than four hundred struggle to keep their traditional culture alive. Merriman explores the effects of historical events on Balazuc from the past and connects this past with the present life in the village. Much of the inhabitants of Balazuc are direct descendants of families that existed there hundreds of years ago. In his lecture Friday, Merriman stated that 19 of the 28 families that signed a list of grievances in 1789 (the beginning of the French Revolution) had direct decedents that still remain in Balazuc today. Other major conflicts in European history affected Balazuc directly and at times Balazuc seemed to be devastated. At other points in time, Dr. Merriman noted that Balazuc had prospered, especially when the village was supplied with great numbers of silk worms to raise. Balazuc profited off of silk worms for quite some time until a disease wiped them out. Other, more ancient histories are found in Balazuc's interior. Cave paintings that are thousands of years old were also discovered. No one is allowed to visit these paintings, and they are one of the few things that will be spared from the clenches of tourism. Merriman also commented on the school system set up in Balazuc. His children attended school there, and Merriman and his wife are advocates for one-room schoolhouses in France. This type of learning environment has almost been eradicated from France, and Merriman takes part actively in reclaiming this form of education. His family and other locals in Balazuc promote the school and attempt to keep it in operation. Merriman and his family are about to become citizens of France and plan on living the majority of their time in Balazuc. According to Merriman, both in his book and in person, Balazuc is a wonderful place. Even though it is small and remote, having only one caf, Balazuc is full of intriguing __ history and wonderful people. Balazuc has everything from an ancient, medieval and modern history to a one-room schoolhouse and a beautiful landscape. The Stones of Balazuc attempts to explain this wonderful past that deserves to prosper and also deserves to be preserved. 9
