Nations, Susan Belcher has done a lot. Now be- ing the essential First Lady of Western Caro- lina University, there is surprisingly still a lot she still wants to do. Tm a jack of all trades and a master of ~ none, said Belcher. Belcher is an avid sup- porter of bringing the Cullowhee community and Western Carolina community together as friends. The Chancellors Residence, where Chan- cellor David Belcher and wife reside, is host to all manner of parties. We host parties here for faculty and students, donors, and as a thank you, said Belcher. The house is also its own art gallery with col- lections from WCUs per- manent art collection. Both Belchers wanted their home to be a WCU treasure. Thursday, Nov. 29; the house hosted a party for the WCU Art: community and was the grand opening of the Chancellors Hall where pictures of the past WCU chancellors with their families hang. -Recently, Belcher also performed at the HART Theater in Waynesville alongside some WCU students in the musical theater department. Tt was really great working with these stu- By Jessie Swink Contributing Writer Many students, upon hearing about a nearby center where people are not only allowed but encouraged to play with - cats for hours at a time, are skeptical. After all, who does not love the idea of a purring cat curled up on the lap? However, just. afew miles up the road from Western Carolina, there is a place where you can do just that. CatMan2 Inc. is a no-kill cat shelter . that was founded back in 1996 by Dr. Harold Sims or, as many know him, Catman. The shelter currently houses approximately 80 _ cats, and new cats ar- rive at the shelter every day. The way cats end up in the shelter vary, from cats being found on peoples doorsteps to people needing to move long distances and being unable to bring their pre- cious felines, too. People rely on the CatMan2 shel- ter to find homes for their beloved animals, with the comfort that the shelter will not put the animal down. unless for medical reasons. il ges Saige a Coal ee Fila wilec - amazed at the power the dents, said Belcher.

The initiative is geared towards bringing back the Cullowhee Lily, a water-loving flower that once covered the Cullowhee valley. Betty Allen, WCU alum and past president of the Alumni Asso- ciation, came to Belcher last year and made her aware of the lilys heri- tage. The initiative started Sept. 28, during Moun- tain Heritage Day, and news of the initiative reached all the way to Asheville. People started calling for bulbs of lilies. I was media had in getting this initiative started, said Belcher. The Alumni Scholar- ship fund was created through this initia- tive and currently has around $8,000, and any student related to WCU alumni is eligible for the scholarship.

The adoption fee for the | cats is a flat rate of $80; this fee only barely cov- . ers most vet fees, as all cats while at the shelter are spayed and neutered and given any and all care needed.
