Cullowhee Valley Schools Fall Festival By Katie Rath + wenewsmagazine Recently, the Cullowhee Valley School hosted its annual Fall Festival. Every year, Cullowhee Valley Fall Festival hosts over 700 children and their parents, entertaining them with food, games, and educational booths. Mary Kay Bauer is a professor at Western Carolina University and a mother of two Cullowhee Valley students. Working with volunteers and the PTA, Bauer has been involved with the festival for about five years. The purposes of the festival are to raise money for the PTA but also to provide fun for the students, she said. The money raised from the festival is placed in the Cullowhee Valley PTA bank account to be used for school projects throughout the year. The PTA plans on using the money for projects such as building a pavilion behind the school, replacing playground equipment, landscaping details, and fixing or replacing the baseball fence, she added. A great deal of preparation and effort went in to setting up the festival. Parents and students offered their time and talents to brainstorm game ideas, build games, prepare advertisements, collect the prizes and candy given to the winners of carnival games, bake cakes and cookies, and organize the events of the night. Volunteers also signed up in advance to work during the festival For the festival, the entire school is transformed into a carnival. Upon arriving, festival attendees walk into the school and are given the option to either buy individual tickets or a wristband that allows for unlimited access to most games. With Mom and Dad in tow, students are then free to explore the school and find their favorite attractions. Popcorn tables, face- painting, the cake walk, ring-tossing games, and the dunking booth are Popular with children of all ages. For the older children, a rock climbing wall and inflatable games are well-iked, Bauer said. A wide variety of games are provided for both the younger and the older children. The cake walk is a great parent-student game, I's also one of the most popular. Everyone loves the cake walk. We had over 80 cakes donated, and every one of them went! Bauer said, The community provides various ways of support for the festival each year. The local Fire Department fills the dunking booth, parents who work as law enforcers keep order inside and outside the school, and many businesses donate food products and various supplies. Since this is an annual event, many local business and contributors were prepared and ready to give what they could, Bauer said. WCU students also donate their time in order to make the festival successful. This year, volunteers were particularly needed because of rainy weather. The extra helpers aided in keeping things running smoothly, Bauer said. Each year, WCU volunteers are asked to sign the volunteer sheet indicating how long they worked and to which game they were assigned This year, over 100 students came in to help. I was very pleased and proud of our students for stepping up and helping out. | thank them, Bauer said. The Gadfly provokes mirth and contemplation By George Corbett + WGnewsmagazine Few students know about the thin red magazine called The Gadfly And while it's distributed through the Philosophy Department's office in Stilwell, its not exactly heavy reading. Written and published by thoughtful students here at Westem, many of them majoring in philosophy oF political science, the Gadfly pokes fun at a lot of the foibles we see around us in the everyday world. Take the article on President Bush. While you may love or hate the man, you can't help but laugh at the satirical piece calling on all students to work fewer hours so those on Capitol Hill don't look so bad Slam poetry comes to Western By Erin Flattery wenewsmagazine Teacher and poet Taylor Mali performed his spoken word poetry Wednesday evening, September 27, as a part of Last Minute Productions spoken word series. Mali was one of the original poets who appeared on Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry, and appeared in the 1997 documentary film Slam Nation. Mali, a New York native, has also led six of his seven national poetry slam teams to the finals, and has won the championship record four times. The night opened with a handful of Wester students performing spoken word poems written by themselves and by others. The opening slot went to Jordan Brophy, a sophomore at Wester, who performed two original poems titled I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed general, and Ginsberg, Give me back my heart. Brophy won the opportunity to open for Mali by winning a poetry slam held the previous week in Cyber Caf. | think the main thing that draws me to slam poetry is that it's making poetry cool again, said Brophy after the poetry slam. It's okay to be a poet; to, you know, sit in a coffee shop and let the words run over you. Another thing is that it connects our generation with our repressed artistic side through [slam poetry's] ferocity. We are an in-your-face generation, so what better place to be than on a stage slamming our hearts and souls?" by comparison, Or perhaps you'd prefer to read about the discovery of a malicious appendage that's been seen attaching itself to people's heads. It causes them to yak incessantly about nothing in particular. Scientists have begun calling ita cell phone. Whatever your issue, you're sure to find something relevantly irreverent buried somewhere in the Gadfly. As long as you have a sense of humor and can take a few jabs sent in your general direction, there's plenty to love in this thin, inconspicuous magazine. Pick one up in Stillwell the next time you're just passing through. Trust me; you'll be glad you did. Mali performed several of his well-known poems, including What Teachers Make, Like Lilly, Like Wilson, and The impotence of proofreading, Ifyou are one of the many that have never seen a poetry slam, you may be wondering what a slam is, Slam poetry is a form of performance poetry that usually occurs within a competitive event called a slam. Poets perform their own poems and are judged by randomly selected audience members. The criteria that they are judged on include not only the literary Content, but the performance as well. Poetry slams can also be non- competitive gatherings of poets sharing their work and the work of others. Poetry siam began in 1984 when construction worker and poet Maro Smith started a poetry reading at the Get Me High lounge, a jazz club in Chicago. Smith was trying to bring life to the open mike night format. Two years later Smith started a weekly poetry competition at Green Mil, another Chicago jazz club, which started the Uptown Poetry Slam that still runs every Sunday night to this day, newsmagazine SONINGdGdVH SAdKvV)D
