| | | Page 3 WESTERN CAROLINIAN November 11th, 2011 NEWS Nutrition Counseling 1 now available at Campus Recreation Center Allison Adkins, Contributing Writer The Campus Recreation Center this fall is now offer- sing Nutrition Counseling with Elayna Roberts. Roberts, a graduate student at Western Carolina Univer- sity who has completed the schools nutrition program, is a registered dietician and has previously interned at the Recreation Center. Last fall, the Campus Rec- -reation . Center introduced - drop-in nutrition, a way for members to get solid advice on their nutrition and ask questions. Drop-in hours are Wednesday from 5-7 p.m. and - Thursday from 3-5 p.m. It is located between the mens and womens locker rooms on . the bottom floor. Roberts is expanding this drop-in for people who want a personalized nutrition plan. This nutrition counseling is available to all CRC mem- ~ bers, not just students. Morgan McCool, a senior at WCU, likes the program. Tt might make our school -community healthier with nu- ve counseling available to s, she said. If you are interested 1 in nu- trition counseling, stop by the main desk at the Recreation Center to pick up a brochure and registration form. You can also access the form online at reccenter.wcu.edu. The web- site also offers nutrition re- sources and frequently asked questions on nutrition. The Welcome Package, available to members, is $25 and offers an initial one hour nutrition session involving a 3-day diet analysis and nutri- tion assessment plus a 30 min- ute follow-up session. Roberts said that matching nutrition services with per- sonal training is a great way to go because of the financial - savings. Haley Ellis, a supervisor at the Campus Recreation Center, supports the nutrition program. T would definitely recom- mend our Nutrition program. We are currently offering packages that combine nutri- tion with personal training, that way patrons can learn how to improve their bodies both inside and out, which personally I think is a great option, Ellis said. I think a positive aspect about our on- staff registered dietician, RD- PHOTO BY RALEN TEN : Blayna Roberts, left, is iy pictured dieing a i pleend nutrition n counseling s session with a 1 Western Carolina University student, ; Elaina Roberts, is that she is young and insightful to how the typical college student eats and has also been trained to help anyone else who is in- terested in gaining nutritional knowledge Roberts summed up her best advice. T think college students need to eat breakfast and be aware of what they put into their bodies, she baie Ad- ditionally, students do not eat a wide variety of foods, they should not eat the same thing every day. If you have any nutrition questions you would like to have answered, you can ask during a drop-in time, look at the frequently asked questions on the website, or e-mail Rob- erts at ncaa Asia Buss, Contributing Writer . Apart of Western Carolina University since 1989, the University Club has worked to promote the bond of com- munity both with WCU and _the surrounding area. : In June,. however, the club experienced. an obstacle to their, goals when a tree was _ struck by lightning and fell onto the meeting house. Five months later, the University Club remains homeless as both WCUs Chancellor and Residential Living continue to access the _ damage and attempt to fix the meeting house. The house property where the Univer- sity Club resides on Central Drive was rented from and is the responsibility of Residen- tial Living. * The Chancellor and Fa- cilities Management was try- ing to come up with an esti- mate and still doesnt know what it is yet, President-elect of the University Club Dr. Pe- ter Tay said. The Chancellor did mention that the Univer- sity Club would get some compensation for our dam- aged property though. While plans for rebuild- ing the meeting house remain pending, the University Club members continue to meet and plan events. We have been meeting in various places, Tay said, noting local businesses such as the Mad Batter and Roll- ing Stones Burrito. The club must wait for the Chancellor to find an insur- ance settlement in order to correct damages on the house. Not having a house has affected us in a really ad- verse way, Tay said. Not as ay members show up to our events like ue normally would and having to move | our stuff around a lot gets in- convenient. Tay added that the Uni- versity Club members will be having a meeting today (Nov. 11) to decide whether or not to move on without vue support. We are just getting ner- vous with the lack of news and we dont want to move on without the university, but its taking a long time, Tay said. Most of the University . Clubs members consist of "full and part-time faculty or staff at WCU and a few local residents. To accomplish its goal of creating a closer com- munity, the University Club _ holds and supports events such as Oktoberfest, a Mardi Gras dinner, guest speakers and football tailgate parties. RILE PHOTO A tree struck by lightning fell into the University Clubs lane located on Central Drive in June. WCU News Services The lone black bear cub found on the Western Caro- lina University campus on the afternoon of Wednesday, . Oct. 26, will spend time at a .N.C. wildlife rehabilitation , facility as part of an effort to eventually release it back into the wild. The cub appeared to be in excellent health and should make a good transition to his new surroundings, said Tammi Hudson, WCU emer- - gency manager. The cub, believed to be or- phaned, will spend approxi- mately six to eight. months in a rehabilitation facility, - where it will gain weight and mature enough to begin the process of being acclimated back into the wild, said Mike Carraway, a biologist with the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission. Carraway took custody of the cub after its capture by Jackson County. animal control officer Christopher Tyson, who in a feat of dar- ing followed the animal up a tree and secured it with a catch pole. WCU police and emergency management staff also responded to the inci- dent, which drew a crowd of students and other onlookers. Students who found the cub: sleeping outside Reid Gym- nasium alerted university per- sonnel to its presence. The cub is male and is probably about 9 months old and weighs 16 pounds, with bears that age typically weighing 40 to 50 pounds, Carraway said. Cubs can be small for various reasons, such as if a mother has mul- tiple offspring, but this cub may have been without a mother for a month or more. We dont have any indi- cation that theres a mother anywhere around. If. we thought there was a mother around, we would have left it alone. The bear was captured because it was deemed too small for it to be out on its own, said Carraway, adding that the cub obviously was distressed because it showed up on campus. After its cap- ture, the cub devoured the food it was offered, he said. Bear activity in Western North Carolina is high this fall. Carraway has seen an increased occurrence of or- phaned bears in general, and there have been multiple bear sightings on the WCU cam- pus. A mother and cub were seen on campus Sept. 17, and there were two sightings Sept. 20, with a'single black bear spotted and then a moth- er and two cubs. In a campuswide mes- sage after the cubs capture, Hudson reminded individu- als not to approach, follow or feed bears. She also dis- courages photographing or otherwise recording bears, as this could scare the bear and FLU SEASON RUSH...Continued from Front Page while coughing or sneezing is .a great way to stop the spread .of the virus. If possible, try to ;stay home for 24 hours after your fever breaks too. While the exact timing and duration of flu- seasons vary, flu outbreaks can happen as early as October, with most flu activity peaking in January or later, Buchanan said. As of Oct. 31, Health Ser- vices has not seen patients with confirmed flu diagnoses, but there is never a shortage of sickness on a campus housing over 3,500 students. Many seasonal illnesses have the same symptoms as the flu virus, Buchanan said. If a student were to con- tract the flu and visit Health Services, typical treatment might include. medications (TAMIFLU) and advice to get plenty of rest and fluids. Bu- chanan says that Health Ser- vices typically sees most flu cases after winter break in the early weeks of the spring se- mester. If you are interested in a flu shot, call 828-227-7640. SIVE;: cause it to become aggres- she said. If you see a bear on campus, report it to wou noe and then leave the area. To report a bear sighting, ecstionly. call WCU police at 828-227- 8911.
