  • _ students two choices a wild week-long adven- . ture this Fall Break. | i] The Western Carolinian NEWS September 28, 2012 AS Annual Rooted symposium to focus on mountaintop removal By Carvan Craft Staff Writer The third annual event of Rooted in the Mountains: Valuing Our Common Ground Sympo- sium will be held at the A.K. Hinds University Center on Oct. 4 and 5. The symposium will be held in the UC Theater on Oct. 4 from 10'a.m.- 12:30 p.m. and will con- tinue in the Grand Room from 2 p.m.-6:30 p.m. The inspiring speakers and festivities will continue the next day from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Assistant Professor at Western Carolina University and Co-Chair of the Rooted in the Mountains Symposium, Pamela Duncan, spoke about the event. We started the sym- posium in 2010 to explore the integral relation- ship between health and environment and to encourage alternatives to destructive practices like mountaintop remov- al and fracking, said Duncan. We [Rooted in the Mountains speakers] bring together people who can speak to the integration of indigenous knowledge, language, health and environ- mental issues, said Lisa Lefler, director of Culturally Based Native Health Programs and Applied Medical An- thropologist. We have one who represents the indigenous community. The others speak for Ap- palachian and environ- mental concerns. This years Rooted in the Mountains Sympo- sium is dedicated to Jean Nations Lefler and Dale Nations. Lefler explained why the symposium is dedicated to her mother and uncle. They were the inspi- ration for the concept of the symposium, said Lefler. They both passed away the same year; they were siblings. They were both very much mountain people, they lived literally on the land, they had knowledge of plants and animals of the region. ... This family has been here since the late 1700s. There had been genera- tions of this family here. ... They grew up with the Cherokee people and. Cherokee community. There was a friendship, connection there. In their last year or two, they had become very disturbed with the unbridled destruc- tion of the mountains, continued Lefler. They would notice things like changes in the water levels, many of the plants that had been used were no longer available because they were either destroyed or werent accessible. So, they were really concerned with the future of the moun- tains as a resource for all people. Lefler added that the region of Western Carolina University has several deep ties to coal mining. There is a direct correlation between our use of coal and min- ing of coal in Western North Carolina, said Lefler. Were not just concerned in mountain- top removal, but we are concerned with types of mountain destruction.

Adventure Guide talked about the trips Base Camp Cullowhee is of- . fering. |). We're [Base Camp Cullowhee] going to the Outer Banks and Red River Gorge located in Kentucky, reported Blease. We're also go- ing to go do some rock climbing and some hik- ing. The Red River Gorge | is in the Daniel Boone National Forest and contains approximately 500 miles of trails through sandstone cliffs and limestone rock faces. Assistant Director of Base Camp Cullowhee, Jennifer Bennett, spoke about what students should expect on the Red River Gorge Trip. This is the first year that BCC has offered a Fall Break Climbing trip to the Red River Gorge in Kentucky, said Bennett. Par- ticipants should plan on several days of climbing at different levels. The climbing in the Red Riv- er Gorge is unique and much different than Base Camp Cullowhee to host _ excursions over Fall Break that found in WNC. If it rains or people need a break from climbing, the Gorge offers awe- some hiking trails with. ts Trip starts on October _ 15 and ends on October 19. The Red River Gorge Trip will cost $225for - students. Students y should be climbing wall belay certified to go on this trip. Base Camp Cullowhee provides free belay clinics every Wednesday and Thurs- day to ensure students are belay certified. The Outer Banks Trip is from 14-19 of Octo- ber and will feature Cape Lookout and Bear Island. Bear Island, which is part of the Hammocks Beach State Park, is an 892-acre bar- rier island filled with huge sand dunes, shrub thickets, tidal pools, mud flats, salt marshes and maritime forests. Bennett explained the excursion plan for the Outer Banks trip. BCC has been offer- ing an Outer Banks Fall Break trip for the past several years, and we keep offering it since it's such a hit! said Ben- nett. The long drive is worth it as the trip is packed with fun and relaxation. We spend a full day sailing to Cape Lookout with a captain who is also a biologist and seems to know What If...

This is an awesome trip ~ The Red River Gorge - everything about every animal in the ocean, and we paddle out to an isolated island and camp for two nights, for people who have _ never beentothe N.C. coast as well as people who grew up going to the beach. Camping on the coast is an awesome experience and will make you see the beach in a whole new way." _ The Outer Banks Trip is $250 for stu- dents. No experience is necessary and signing up early for this trip will help guarantee a spot on this trip ofa lifetime. All adventurers who choose to go on one of these week-long excur- sions must be sure to pack their personal items such as two pairs of socks, hiking shoes, rain jackets, shirts, a minimum of two water bottles and a backpack. Base Camp Cullowhee provides all outdoor equipment. All rental outdoor equipment has a rent period of two days, so students will need to pay what is needed for supplies ahead of time.

For example, the silt thats coming down from the mountain as theyre tearing it down, falls down and poisons the fish. Duncan also spoke _ out about mountaintop removal. North Carolina is one of the nations top consumers of coal from mountaintop removal mining, said Duncan. Duke Energy and Prog- ress Energy buy coal directly from mountain- top removal strip mines in Appalachia. Duncan explained that the U.S. Energy Information Admin- istration stated, The majority of North Carolinas net electricity generation51 percent in 2011came from coal shipped by rail and truck from West Virginia and Kentucky. There are direct affects to the nearby communities, high rates . of asthma, fish kills, high levels of mercury. It . [mountaintop removal] has all sorts of repercus- sions, human repercus- sions, a place where their culture was formed was destroyed. They couldnt do anything about it, and for their children and grandchildren, the mountains were never going to be the same again, said Lefler.
