6 WCnewsmagazine by Jennifer Scism * WCnewsmagazine The O. Henry Award was recently presented to Ron Rash of Westerns English Department. This decoration is a very prestigious and honorary award given to the most excellent writers of short stories. Mr. Rash is known for his knowledge of Appalachian life and culture. All of his short stories and novels are placed in an Appalachian setting. Mr. Rash is not a native of the Appalachian Mountains, but he says that he spent a lot of time here in these mountains as a child. A few members of his family lived near Boone, North Carolina, on a farm. Rash grew up in Boiling Springs, North Carolina, but spent his summers in Watauga County as a child. This is where his love for the Appalachians blossomed. Mr. Rash has Appalachia in his blood from hundreds of years ago. In fact, one of his ancestors was a founding father of Waynesville, North Carolina. Rash attended Crest High School in Boiling Springs as well as Gardner Webb University, which is also in his home town, for his undergraduate _ degree. After leaving Gardner Webb, Rash enrolled in graduate school and graduated from Clemson University. He has taught at several schools including Tri-Tech College, University of South Carolina and Lenoir Rhyne. The short story Rash wrote that earned him the O. Henry award is entitled Speckle Trout. Rash says that as a child he loved to go trout fishing in Presigious short story award presented to Ron Rash of WCUs English Dept. 2 the mountains. This story is about a young boy who goes trout fishing, just as Rash did, but finds more than he bargained for. Rash is currently finishing up his third novel which he says has the same characters as Speckle Trout. Mr. Rash has received more than just the O. Henry Award. He also received the 2003 Appalachian Writers Association Book of the Year Award for his novel One Foot in Eden, as well as the Foreword Magazines Gold Medal for Best Literary Novel of 2002. He also was named the recipient of the James Still Award for Writing of the Appalachian South. His novel Saints at the River was selected as Westerns summer reading selection for incoming freshmen in 2004. Mr. Rash was also nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. To have such an accomplished writer here at Western is a huge advantage and opportunity. Mr. Rash says that he is delighted to be back in Appalachia and that he is very happy here at Western near where his family lived. When asked if he had any good advice for young writers, he said, Read as much good literature as you can and write about what you like and care about. That is exactly what Mr. Rash does, and perhaps this is good advice for writers considering his accomplishments. Free counseling services for students by June Wytock * WCU Counseling Center The new China Dragon in Cullowhee by Emily Jeanette Rountree * WCnewsmagazine How does sesame chicken, fried rice, and an egg roll sound for supper? Well you can have it right here in town. A new restaurant located right outside of campus, referred to as the China Dragon has many selections for lunch and dinner that will satisfy your hunger. The owner of the restaurant, Ms. Amy Lin, has put a lot of time and effort into creating a wonderful and unique din- ing atmosphere. This restaurant opened a little less than two months ago on December 9th, 2004. The menu has a wide variety of mouth watering Chinese dishes. Over eighty items are on the menu to choose from and you can enjoy these items seven days a week from eleven o'clock in the morning until ten oclock at night. The menu's prices are very reasonable and certain daily specials are offered. The location of this restaurant is 3050 Old Cullowhee Road. Delivery service is not available, but the China Dragon does have a take out service. To place an order for pick up call: 828-293-5533. Enjoy the tastes of China in Cullowhee! Sometimes when | talk to a class, students are surprised to learn that there is somewhere on campus that they can go to talk to a professional counselor and the services are confidential and free. That place is Counseling & Psychological Services (CPS) and is located on the second floor of the Bird Building (Phone: 227-7469). This service would cost about $70 to $150 per hour if sought outside the university. Confidentiality means that professionally and legally we counselors must keep information we obtain in a counseling session private unless given written permission otherwise. There are only extreme situations, such as imminent suicide, when confidentiality can be broken. Even then, the purpose for sharing information is to keep someone safe. This privacy in sessions frees people to talk honestly about concerns and fears that they have kept to themselves. No problem is too big or too small. Talking about a problem by itself can help people feel better. By exploring thoughts and feelings, solutions are discovered. Sometimes solutions require changing behavior patterns, learning new skills, or enhancing current strengths. There are several different ways CPS counselors offer these services: individual counseling, group counseling, couple and family counseling, outreach programs, consultations, and emergency services. Call 227-7469 to make an appointment, sign up for a group or ask for a groups brochure. Individual Counseling. You can talk personally to a counselor. Sessions are usually 50 minutes long and meet weekly on a short term basis (on average six sessions). Group Counseling. Groups usually consist of 4 to 10 people who meet for about 90 minutes once a week for 5-10 weeks. Groups currently available include: Silent Meditation, Womens Group, Mind Over Mood, Eating Issues and Body Image, Struggles with Substances, Rainbow Room, Survivors of Sexual Assault/Abuse Relationships, and Creative Relaxation. Some groups require a pre-group interview to be sure the group is right for you. Some professors offer bonus points or extra credit for attending a CPS group. If you cannot attend the group at the day or time scheduled, please tell the group leader. The group may be able to change to another time. Couple and Family Counseling. If a problem involves more than one person, such as a partner, children, or parents, it can be helpful to have everyone involved come for counseling together. Outreach Programs. CPS counselors offer various workshops and presentation to campus groups. Check out our website at: CounselingCenter.wcu.edu for a listing of program topics. We ask for a minimum of two weeks notice. Please call 227-7469 with requests. Consultation. CPS counselors are available to consult with staff, faculty and students on a variety of issues. For instance, a faculty member may consult with a counselor about a student who seems troubled oF students may consult a counselor about a friend. Emergencies. Counselors are available to respond to psychological emergencies 24 hours a day during the semester. If you are having an emergency during regular hours (week days 8 AM 5 PM) call 227-7469 or come by our office. On weekends or after hours, call 227-7301 and ask for the counselor on-call. The dispatch operator will ask for your name and number and will have the emergency counselor call you back. Staff. Our staff consists of full-time counselors, psychologists, a social worker and graduate interne and practicum students (under close supervision the full-time staff).
