  • The Western Carolinian FEATURES April 27,2017 BS Local business spotlight: Country Side Lanes | cow Ktiry Side Lp leableo! Country Side Lanes is located at Jackson Plaza in Sylva. Madeline Smith Staff Writer A Country Side Lanes isa local bowling alley located at 347 Jackson Plaza in Sylva. It first opened on March 9, 2012 by Linda and Larry Henrion. Starting a business is not easy. The two began their journey in September of 2011. After acquiring the location, which was once known as Thunder Lanes, they had to renovate, obtain their liquor licenses, speak with the landlord and so much more. Photos by Breanna Taylor/STAFF When they first opened, they advertised in other local businesses such as Bogarts. They also placed billboards up in support, but eventually by word - of mouth, the community knew they were there. Linda Henrion stated, Ttis great to have your own business. You can set it up how you want it. You can be successful, or in some cases, fail; however, everyone should try it. It is definitely an adven- ture. The Henrions lives are dedicated to maintaining the bowling alley. Linda Henrion is the vice presi- dent, while her husband is the president of the es- tablishment. On a regular day, she answers phones, runs errands and bal- ances the books. Depend- ing on the week and how much help is needed, she works an average of 30-40 hours a week. Unfortunately, since the couple works so many hours a week, they do not get to see their family often. They have one child and two grandchildren. Both grandchildren are in high school. They will usually see them two or three times a year depend- ing on the season, com- pared to previously, when they were living down the street from them and seeing them almost every day. Still, they keep a posi- tive attitude and strong devotion to their business. Linda.Henrion stated, With every up there is a down and every down there is an up. The Henrions want their establishment to have a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for college students and families within the community. It is a place where all ages can enjoy themselves. Their staff of 11, including themselves, are there to aid and make customers bowling experience as good as possible. Since the establishment offers alcohol as a choice of drink, they have strict rules about selling to mi- nors and stick to the state laws. According to Linda Henrion, they have not had a problem with fights or under-age drinking. Once again, they are all about creating a safe and friendly environment. Linda Henrion elabo- rated, We are here for them. We hope they come out and enjoy our facili- ties. We are a very family- oriented bowling alley. It is important for the college students and the community. The younger kids will be our next fu- ture. Sometimes it is hard to focus on what is on the other side of the fence. Baby steps! This is the only bowling alley in Sylva. The nearest one aside from Country Side Lanes is located in Franklin. This facility is not seen as competition and Country Side Lanes simply focuses on the impact they can make with their business. There has not been any type of collaboration between the facilities, but Coun- try Side Lanes does help advertise bowling leagues se! Franklin Bowling Al- ey. The Henrions are not looking to expand or open more bowling alleys as they are satisfied with the one that they own and the location it is in. The bowling alley is open all week long with varying hours. On Mon- day through Thursday, it is open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. On Friday and Saturday, it opens at 11 a.m. and closes at 1 a.m. On Sunday, it is open from 2to7 p.m. Tuesdays and Thurs- days are special nights for the bowling alley, especially for the col- lege students. Rounds of bowling, shoes and drafts are only 1 dollar each. The establishment likes to work with the students and their clubs. Western Carolina University Greek Life especially utilizes these discounts. Since they already have discounted bowling, Coun- try Side Lanes does not offer percentage nights, but if an organization wants to work with them, they are willing to work something out and try to: support fundraisers when possible. On certain nights, the bowling alley is also home to birthday parties, club gatherings and family get- togethers. Be sure to check out Sylvas only bowling alley for a fun night out with great friends and wonder- ful food. For more information, Country Side Lanes can be reached at 828-631-4754 or you can visit their web- site at www.countryside- bowling.com. Lastly, Country Side Lanes is currently hiring for a pin chaser! The job will consist of maintain- ing the pin machines in the back and retrieving a bowling ball if it gets stuck. Since the job can be somewhat dangerous, a male is preferred. Anyone interested can simply call Country Side Lanes dur- ing their normal business hours. Club corner: Whee Game at WCU Kristie Watkins.

This is a time dedicated to play- ing games together and is open to anyone inter- ested. Eddie Maiale, senior at Western Carolina, is the current president of Whee Game. He works in the Technology Com- mons of Hunter Library which is where he first became involved with the club his sophomore year. Several people he worked with were members of the club and invited him to join. He has thoroughly enjoyed his experience as a member of the club and now the president. Whee Game is a sup- portive and entertaining community for him and many others involved. Maiale said his hopes for the future of the club are for it to not just be a group of gamers but rather a place where people can come to talk and do whatever it is they want to do.

Every semester they aim to have a least two large tournaments. These are events created for anyone to come out and enjoy a night playing games with new and old friends. People are also able to come just to watch. The tournaments normally have a free play set up, as well, in which extra consoles are provided for people who do not want to partici- pate in the tournaments but still want to play. The last tournament of the semester is April 29 in the University Centers Illusions Room from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m. The i ie of games Whee Game plays often changes. It depends on the year.

Maiale said the tournaments on the laptops offer some friendly competition and the prize of bragging rights. Maiale said the club has helped him see the importance of giving back to people. The pre- vious president taught him that. Hes been my inspira- tion to make the clu succeed and go further with it because of the message he wanted. He wanted everyone to be included in it even though they may not know games or maybe theyre just starting or wanting to get into it, Maiale said. The best way to get in- volved with Whee Game is to simply go to one of their weekly meetings. There are always mem- bers there and they are ready to help people get involved. ario Whee Game at A Lan Party. We're friendly. The environment on those Saturdays is just fun all around. Its not a very serious environment, we're all just there to have fun. You can come in at anytime and join us, Maiale said. If you come someone will ask you if you want to play whatever it is they are playing at the time or you can go up to some- one if you find some- thing interesting and ask them how to play. The members are all about teaching people how to play a variety of games while also creat- ing a supportive and Photo by Breanna Taylor/STAFF safe community that can bond over similar interests.
