By Ed Ford, Public Relations Director

Motion picture actor Muse Watson calls it his five-year plan. In the late 1980s, after nearly 20 years as a regional stage and musical-theater actor, Watson —the former Robert Gravel, Cx’71 — wanted greater success as a performer. But, realistic by nature, he was aware there were very few opportunities to actually make a living in theater. Film was the medium that provided the money. “So, I got a job driving a movie truck,” Watson explained. It was the beginning of a well-devised strat- egy designed to land him a movie role within five years. And, almost to the day, it worked.

That early training has enabled “Paul knew I’d never been on the stage before and I’m sure that was some concern to him,” Muse added. “But, he believed in me and gave me a chance. The show went well and it started a career for me. Since then, Paul and (Barbara) Byrd Power have encouraged and supported me and I give them credit for my success in theater.” Watson, with no theater experience at all, landed the lead role of Petruchio in “Taming of the Shrew.” “I got one of the best acting lessons of my life during that per- formance,” he said, “because I was so terrified. I had tights on and was sweating so profusely that the perspiration soaked the tights. And here’s where the great acting lesson came in. I told myself, ‘if you’re good enough, they’ll never notice.’” Good enough meant being the character of Petruchio, something that Power had drilled into Watson. Watson autographed head-and-shoulder photos for a throng of fans at a Saturday afternoon reception at Boone Tavern Hotel. He was the Grand Marshal of the City of Berea Christmas “Paul used to say, ‘if you get into Parade later that day. your character, then it’s not you.

Watson has appeared in more than 20 major John Singleton, who directed feature films. “Rosewood,” has described Watson as having “fire in his eyes.” He told Muse that he’s always wanted to do the story of abolitionist John Brown, but never had found someone who could play the role until he had met him. “You could do John Brown,” he said. Watson admits to “an energy inside of me that creates some things” where his roles are concerned. This “fire inside” has resulted in some con- vincing performances. In fact, he has a cult following where his role of Ben Willis is concerned in “I Know What You Did Last Summer” and “I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.” As the hook-wielding fisherman who’s on a dedicated killing spree, Watson is convincingly scary. His performance is one of the reasons “I Know What You Did Last Summer” set a box office record for an October opening when it was released in 1997. In “Rosewood,” Muse played Henry Andrews, a Klansman instrumental in inciting destruction and murder in a black town in Florida. Watson wanted his perform- ance to be so convincing that “people would leave the theater hating my guts.” “A friend of mine asked me to see ‘Rosewood’ with him at a theater in Santa Monica,” Muse smiled. “When I got shot, everybody in the theater stood up and applauded. I kind of sank down in my seat and said to my buddy, ‘You know, we may not make it out of here alive.’” Berea Community School drama and speech Watson said there are many teacher Eddie Kennedy, ’66, (left) introduced instances in his acting career where one of his drama class students to Watson and he’s had to overcome personal fears. his wife, Nancy, at the reception.

Spring 2000 15 The best may be yet to come Berea All-American seek s a n ew g o al in the marathon at NAIA nationals.

Cross Country All-American Stuart Moran is very matter-of-fact when it comes to assessing his skills. “By the time I’m 30, I’ll be a pretty good runner,” he maintains. Moran, a 23-year-old senior from Brighton, England, became Berea’s 24th All-American in November when he finished 27th in the 8,000-meter National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Cross Country Nationals. His time of 25 minutes, 13 seconds was 27 seconds faster than his best previous 8K time. He also was competing for the fourth straight year in the nationals and entered the race as a two-time honorable mention All-America selection. But, for the physical education major, the best may be yet to come. “The most satisfying thing is improving myself,” Moran related. “I think my best distances will be in the marathon, maybe the half marathon.” In late May, Stuart will test himself in the NAIA National Marathon, a grueling two-hour-plus, 26.2-mile run that demands the ultimate in strength and endurance. His goal is to finish no worse than sixth, which would qualify him as an All-American in that event. Moran and teammate Matt Byerley, a junior from Elizabethtown, will leave Berea following commence- ment for the race at Abbotsford, British Columbia, sched- uled May 27. Stuart estimates that a time of 2 hours, 28 minutes might win the marathon, and he figures “if I’m going to train for it, I might as well try to win it.” All-American Stuart Moran Berea Coach Mike Johnson believes that to be possible. (above, right) works out with Matt Byerley as they train for “When Stuart is confident that he can accomplish the NAIA Marathon. Moran something, he can do it,” Johnson commented. “He’s a is shown at right with his hard worker, a powerful runner with a good kick and plaque designating him as an someone who has good speed.

Englishman being an All-American. And, it’s his work ethic that gets and keeps Stuart in shape. “I tried to explain it to my mom,” Moran commented, “During the cross country season, I ran about 80 miles “and she said, ‘Well done,’ but I don’t think in England a week,” he said. “For six weeks, I averaged about 80 they realize what an All-American is. We don’t have miles and went up as high as 90, usually taking one day anything like an All-British ranking over there. off every two weeks. “All-American is unique to this country, but I think it’s “I run twice a day most days.

His routine depends on running, plus a daily regimen of pushups and situps. He eats sensible foods and a lot of them because “when you run 80 miles per week, you pretty much metabolize everything.” ‘Coach of the Year’ Johnson points out that 45-50 miles per week is the usual training schedule for a distance runner. Johnson receives “I started running in junior school,” Moran said, “when one of my friends got me to go to the park and join recognition No. 25 in for cross country.

In addition to his running, Moran plans to teach in England and will begin graduate studies next fall at a university in Chichester, which is about a 30-minute drive from Brighton. Johnson recruited his most recent All-American from the same running club that produced Ian and Paul Leak and Simon Jewell, all of whom ran for Berea in the late 1980s. Alan Mills, a Berea hammer thrower in the mid- 1980s, also was from that club. Johnson said the club’s Dave Smith, who also coached the Leaks and Jewell, recommended Moran to him. Stuart wasn’t accepted at Berea on his first try, but two years later—1996—Johnson called after re-submitting the application and told Stuart he had been accepted.

Up until three years ago, the College dyed the broomcorn for its own industry-produced brooms. However, in 1997, one of the world’s largest suppliers of broomcorn, The Thomas Monahan Company of Arcola, Ill., sought a reputable place to have its broom- corn dyed, and a contract with Berea resulted. The relationship began when Emma Reed, retired supervisor of Broomcraft, was on an annual trip to the Broomcorn Festival in Arcola, which is recognized as the broomcorn capital of the world. Reed was asked by Tim Monahan, president of the company, if Broomcraft would be willing to take on the effort of re-dyeing broomcorn Broomcraft Supervisor Lonnie Reed (right) and Jacob Wandler, a that previously was dyed elsewhere freshman from Elkton, roll broomcorn into another area for re-dying.

During July and August, “We started out re-dyeing corn that, initially, had been Broomcraft dyes approximately 12,000 pounds of broom- dyed elsewhere,” Fain said, “but the result just wasn’t the corn for other vendors while, on the average, only dyeing high-quality color that Monahan wanted. He thought we between 600 and 700 pounds monthly for its own industry. “We need what Berea has,” Monahan commented, “so we’ve moved most of our business to the College. We’re getting good service and good quality and the College is getting better colors for us.” The dyeing services for Monahan and other broom- making operations have resulted in an increase in revenue and business for Broomcraft, Fain acknowledged, pointing out that the diversification is unique to College Crafts. Broomcorn is dyed entirely by students and one master craftsman, Lonnie Reed, whose family has been a major part of Berea’s broomcraft tradition for nearly 60 years. During the process of dyeing, the broomcorn is submerged 30 pounds at a time into each vat of color. A rack, weighted down by a concrete block, then is placed on the corn and holds it in place as the dye is absorbed. After- ward, the broomcorn is rinsed for 30 minutes and then dries overnight in a kiln at 240 degrees.

By Margaret Merrick

While at Berea, Bill Fields learned three things that made him want to know more about his genealogy and become accepting of it. “First, look for the truth.” “Then, have a burning pride about being Appalachian.” “And third, celebrate the infinite diversity of people and absolution of oneself from everybody else.” S.J. Arthur and Bill Fields check out S. J. Arthur offers an addition: data used in the Melungeon workshop held on campus “We have taken our Berea College education and gone forward with it.”
