THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN THURSDAY April 28, 2016 ' WWw.weunews.com | Vol. 83, No. 4 > FREE Base Camp hosts 32nd annual Tuck River Cleanup Staff for the Tuck River Cleanup pose with this years sought after t-shirt Jake Browning Staff Writer Western Carolina University recently participated in the 32nd Annual Tuck River Cleanup. On April 16, Western Carolina students and Jackson County residents went to the Tuckasegee River to organize a trash pickup of 27 miles of river bank, accounting for the single largest one-day river beauti- fication project in the entire country. Starting at 11 a.m. Base Camp Cullowhee, Western Carolinas one stop program for ac- tively experiencing the great outdoors, began registering participants on the University Cen- ter Lawn. If there was ever any doubt that the Jackson County com- munity cared about the environment, that doubt was dashed as hundreds of people lined up for registration before signups even began. Among those in line were Western Carolina students, visiting family members, local outdoor enthusiasts and even a fair share of toddlers. Of course, those chil- dren under 40 pounds were unable to raft, but Base Camp provided plenty of options for everyone, Once participants braved a line that reached from the front of the UC all the way across the fountain courtyard, they were asked to sign a waiver stating that they were David Cook and Emily Dorsey _ Editor-in-Chief On Thursday, April 28, Last Minute Productions will be hosting a free concert in the University Plaza near the Catafount on Western Carolina Universitys campus. This event is part of Stu- dent Appreciation Week and will be a perfect way for students to relieve stress and have fun be- fore they tackle finals. The concert will fea- ture a student band as the opening act, followed by Secondhand Ser- enade and David Cook. According to the official website, Sec- ondhand Serenade, made up of one musi- cian named John Vesely, first topped the charts with the hit song Fall For You, released in 2008. After that, Sec- ondhand Serenade went ona world tour and then released an album entitled A Naked Twist In My Story in 2012. Currently, the musician is working on another album that will feature a full band and is sched- uled to be released this spring. David Cook, according to his official website, first became famous by spontaneously audition- ing for American Idol responsible for their own safety while on the river. After doing this, the participants were given all the equipment they would need a paddle and a life vest for the raft, a Depart- ment of Transportation trash bag that reversed from orange to blue for the sake of collecting recyclables and, as can be expected from any college event, a com- plimentary tee shirt. There was even a tray of snacks set up so that participants could have their fill before they spent the next four hours on the river. For those who wanted to clean up and keep dry, there was also an option to take a walking trail and clean the riv- ers exterior (and enjoy Photo by Emily Ashton/STAFF a considerably shorter line). This option was also the best opportu- nity for those who were physically unsafe on the water those with medical concerns, small children and anyone travelling with them. Base Camp also char- tered several busses to take participants to and from the rivers entry point. Once there, raf- ters split up into small groups to cover the 27 mile stretch and collect garbage from inside the water, while walkers took care of the outer banks. With reclaimed debris ranging from lost candy wrappers to fragments of bricks to entire discarded garden hoses, the Tuck River was definitely a cleaner place once the cleanup crew had finished. Participating in a river cleanup, especial- ly one of this size, really opens ones eyes up to the amount of litter that can accumulate in just one year. Students were able to find empty beer bottles and tobacco cans in places that a person should not be able to casually reach (the top _ of the dirt hills that sup- port highway bridges, for example). The most common type of litter, however, was cigarette butts. Until one actually goes looking for them, they are easy to ignore, but for the sake of cleaning - up a natural environ- ment, the hundreds of half empty papers be- come simply horrifying in number. Both Base Photo by Emily Ashton/STAFF Photo by Emily Ashton/STAFF _ Many students had been waiting since 6 a.m. for the op- _ portunity to volunteer to cleanup the Tuck Camp.and we here at the Western Carolinian ask that citizens please be respectful of nature and the safety of others. by putting them out in the proper receptacles. The cleanup conclud- ed with a celebration of a job well done. Par- ticipants were treated to a free barbeque, lawn games, a door prize drawing and live music. The attendance to the celebration, however, was quite a bit smaller than the actual cleanup, perhaps in testament to the selflessness of the near countless volun- teers.

Secondhand Serenade tonight! with his brother in 2008 ' and then winning the competition. Since then, Cook has released three albums, including The Loud Morning and Digital Vein, and has won the Teen Choice for Male Reality/ Variety Star, The New Music Award for Top 40 Male Artist of the Year and the Nashville Music Award for Song of the Year. Last Minute Prodtc- tions organized this event according to the preferences of students. First, we came up with music we wanted to do and came up with a list of artists. Then, we sent a survey to students and picked the top two artists, said Kristen Diecke, president of the organization. Last Minute Produc- tions originally planned to only have the top art- ist choice from the sur: _ vey perform due to cost but realized they would be able to afford both of the top two artists and were able to success- fully create a combined concert with both of the artists and a student band. While this is one of the last events of the spring semester, Last Minute Productions will con- tinue to bring fun things to campus over the sum- mer. There will be vari- ous summer programs, such as ice cream socials (with ice cream costing $1), summer movies and asummer concert series. Tf students want to get involved, we have volun- teers who work on the event staff, said Diecke. These positions are first come, first serve. In order to get involved, message us on Facebook with your e-mail. Social media is the easiest way to contact us. The David Cook and Secondhand Serenade concert, opening witha student band, will take place on Thursday, April 28 in the University Pla- za on Western Carolinas campus. This event is free for everyone, stu- dent or non-student, and will begin at 8 p.m. Ifit rains on the day of the event, the concert will be held in the Ramsey Center and will remain free.
