  • Page 9 Western Carolinian FEATURES April 17, 2007 New Improvements at the Wesley Church By Jay Strong Staff Writer CULLOWHEEThere is so much construction happening on campus this year that many students are wondering, Ts it ever going to end? The renova- tion at Stillwell is nearing completion, but the new addition to the Reid gym, the new Honors residence hall and the food court that will replace Dodson Cafeteria are still far from being done. And yet, there is still more construc- tion going on at the Wesley Foundation Church. And as I speak to Pastor Tim Moore in his comfortable office in the Wesley Church, I learn that there are many new developments in store for the Wesley Foundation in the coming year. The new construction, which is obvious to any student walking or driving down Central Drive, is going up very fast. A concrete foundation has been laid and wooden partitions are already in place. The kitchen, which can current- ly seat up to 70 people, will be expand- ed so that it can seat up to 150. This is something that Pastor Tim has been looking forward to for a long time. Its been pretty cramped in there for a while, he says. The new downstairs development will also be dedicated to the formation of a new Fellowship Hall for the Wesley Church members and the expansion of the chil- drens preschool program. The pre- The renovation extends towards the Albright dorm room, which is on the left side of the church, when facing the street.

This will make the up- stairs portion of the church handicap accessible. This part of the renovation will take place last and will most likely be completed by next fall. But it really depends on the weather, and the avail- ability of volunteers, says Pastor Tim. Much of the Wesley Foundation reno- vations are being done by volunteer _ work, with some outside labor. The new additions are being funded by a combi- nation of individual pledges from inde- pendent donors in the community, Wes- ley Foundation fundraisers and a grant from the Duke Endowment program. The grant will pay for up to one third of the entire cost. The Duke Endowment program, according to Pastor Tim, is a series of grants distributed to various rural United Methodist churches. Many students have also no- purchased 25 hardwood trees priced at $100 apiece and are planning on buy- ing 50 more. This is something many WCU students would welcome, as the hillside behind Wesley is currently an eyesore. Another exciting develop- ment is the relocation of the childrens playground and the return of the be- loved swing set. The Wesley Founda- tion, which leases its parking lot to the University, is currently negotiating a deal with Western Carolina University, whereby the existing playground will ticed that the hillside above the Wesley: be:demolishediinorder for the parking parking Tot, which formerly had 4 trail tort 'berexpanded As'many WCU 'stu- meandering through a pleasant grove of Uents'already know, the University is in pine trees, has been stripped bare.

Last summer a surveying crew discovered that many of the trees were dying and were in danger of toppling down into the parking lot. The dying trees were cut down, and Pastor Tim states that the hillside will be re-landscaped with various hardwood trees, possibly start- ing in the spring. They have already playground will be relocated to the area that is currently a huge dirt pile next to Central Drive. Pastor Tim states that the new playground, which is scheduled to be completed by next fall, will bring with it not only the return of the swing set, but also a new picnic pavilion.
