October 26-30, 2009 WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 2 NEWS Sylva Voted as a Great Place to Live By Adam Crisp Staff Writer Recently in the Great Places Youve (Maybe) Never Hear Of list by Mother Earth News, the town of Sylva made an appearance. The small town of Sylva, NC, gains much of its character from the surrounding beauty of the range, as well as the Tuckasegee River, says the publication. It goes on to say, During the summer months, Street life is vibrant, thanks to the downtown associations Sylva After Dark arts program, which enlists lo- cal galleries, cafes and the Heinzel- mannchen, a small-scale brewery, to provide. music and gallery openings during the evening hours. Reaction was mixed locally about how great Sylva is, but even the detractors had good things to _ gay. Sylva being a great place to live, Jeanette Hensley, who has been run- ning Massey Furniture for 54 years, said, It is. Dont you think so? ... People help you and go out of their way for you here. It depends on what youre look ing for, said Becky Gainey when asked if Sylva is a great place to live. Her husband, Richard Gainey, former instructor in the broadcast. program at Western Carolina Uni- versity added, Were looking at retiring down south, and Sylvas not on the top of the list. Henderson- ville would be. Its not bad, its got a university nearby, its got a nice little hospital, its got a growing arts community. a WCU to present Veterans Day. Tribute: a ; 1Il'to Honor Veterans | on Nov. By Sarah Kucharski WC Contributor Western Carolina University. will honor veterans with a live, his- torically accurate re-creation of the popular World War Il radio show Command Performance, USA! at 7:30 p.m. on Veterans Day Wednesday, Nov. 11. For the stage presentation of On the Home Front, Nov. 44, WCUs Fine and Performing Arts Center will be transformed into one of the CBS radio studios in Holly- wood where the show was recorded and broadcast 65 years ago for Gls overseas. Professional stage and screen actors, broadcast faculty members, and current broadcasters and professional voice talents will re-create the broadcast. Stars of the show also include faculty musicians performing as the 14-piece Home Front Radio Orchestra. During World War Il, Armed Forces Radio Service programs pro- vided a vital link to back home.and were a tremendous morale booster for the Gis, said Don Connelly, head of the communication depart- ment and producer of the show. Command Performance was the Gls radio show, and they submit- ted requests for the music and stars they wanted to be on the show. People are going to get to see and. hear all of their favorite hits come to life. Some of the most requested music on Command Performance was from Spike Jones and the City Slickers, and there will be a very lively Spike Jones number. Tickets to attend the one-time- only live stage production are $5, with proceeds benefitting scholar- ship funds at WCU. The produc~- tion will begin at 7:30 p.m. with live music from The Hit Parade of 1944, said Connelly, who spent more than 25 years in managerial and on-air roles before coming to WCU from Clear Channel of Or- Jando. No one will be admitted after 7:30 p.m. because the production is - being broadcast live over radio sta- tion WWNC-AM of Asheville. Wien ated Goweahe fel abot Its pretty nice, rid Courtney Page, a Western Carolina student commenting on the downtown arean ae Weill lets put it this way, | moved here 40 years ago and Ive never left so I think its just like {Mother Earth] said.

J mean, [im from a 1 big city, Im from Atlanta, but here I like a lot ...a lot of people go out and ~ stuff, said Alex Hunt an employee of Black Rock Outdoor. wen EE Photo by Mar! Haskett Cast members of On The Home Front, Nov. 44 practice lines and music cues with Bruce H. Frazier (seated) the conductor of and arranger for the Home Front Radio Orchestra. Standing, from. left, is Don: Connelly, the shows producer; Steve Carlisle, the shows director, Melody Huddleston, who is playing the role of G.I. Jill; and Terry Nienhuis, who is playing the role of Private Jimmy Sad-Sack Walters, the shows comic relief character. The show will be held at Western Carolina Universitys Fine and Performing Arts Center at 7:30.p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 11. It is exciting for us and the community to honor our veterans in such a unique way, especially since our station was on the air at the time, said Brian Hall, WWNC program director. The show is a joint production of Westerns department of commu- nication, department of stage and screen, history department, Honors College and School of Music, and area broadcast professionals. Di- recting the show is Steve Carlisle, associate dean of the Honors Col- lege and a professional actor for more than 35 years, including 25- plus seasons at the Flat Rock Play- house. This has been honor working on such a unique project for our veterans, said Carlisle. In some ways it feels like the Little Rascals getting together to put a play on in the barn. Bruce Frazier, WCUs Belk Dis- tinguished Professor ef Commercial and Electronic Music, will direct the musicians performing as the Home Front Radio Orchestra. Music has always been a main part of entertaining the troops and this show is full of 1940s favorites, said Frazier. The music is a jolt of nostalgia with some famous dance music, swing in particular. It is great to see the spirit and enthusiasm of our music faculty as they lend their talents to the project to honor vet- erans. Susan Brown-Strauss, profes- sor of stage and screen who has de- signed costumes for theaters in the South and Midwest, will coordinate the period costumes. Luther Jones, assistant professor of theater, and stage designer and technical direc- tor for the stage and screen depart- ment, will assist with the stage set- ting for the show. The. cast includes Aaron DInnocenzi from Clear Channel in Asheville; Melody Huddleston, ad- ministrative assistant from the stage and screen department; Terry Nien- huis, retired professor of English with a number of years of acting for stage, television and film; and Carl- isle and Connelly. Purchasing tickets in advance is recommended, as last years presen- tation of The War of the Worlds was sold out.
