Director James Fisher is looking to cast four women and two men for Sean Grennan’s comedy/drama which weaves comedy, truthfulness and pathos into a moving theatrical experience based on a true story. Performance dates are Thursday-Saturday, February 13-15 and Thursday-Sunday, February 20-23. The story: Instead of relishing life after her heart transplant, Joy enters a downward spiral, unsure whether she truly deserves a second chance. Meanwhile, Alice and Hank mourn the loss of their son, Jack, whose heart was used to save Joy. At a friend’s urging, Joy tracks down Jack’s family to find closure. But are Alice, Hank, and their daughter Sammy ready to accept Jack’s death? When they meet with Joy, the awkwardness becomes funny and heartfelt. All the players come to terms with what it really means to truly give one’s heart. This work honestly demonstrates the power of the human spirit to manifest hope. The roles: JOY – mid-late 20s to late 30s. A freelance graphic artist, Joy has received a life-saving heart transplant, but is now conflicted about what to do next. She is smart, sometimes acerbic, attractive, but rudderless with her new lease on life. HANK – early 60s. He is nearing retirement as head of a small building supply company. Husband to Alice and father to Sammy and now-deceased heart donor, Jack. Hank is trying hard not to wallow in or even barely acknowledge his grief and guilt. He can be snappish and abrupt, and while he is drinking more than he should, he believes he’s handling things just fine. JACK – An accountant with aspirations of being a professional photographer, he dresses fashionably – hipster- ish. Jack is dead at the outset but nonetheless appears throughout the show, not exactly as a ghost, but more as a memory that lingers. ALICE – early 60s. Mother of Sammy and the deceased Jack, she is a solid, loving, enduring presence. She knows her husband and is aware of what he’s going through. She accepts his scorn until she doesn’t anymore. She has a big heart that is dealing with its own pain as she tries to hold the family together and do the right thing. SAMMY – 20s-60s. A pre-school teacher and Jack’s younger sister, she’s somewhat “new-age” but with an enormous heart and wants to help in any way she can. She writes a blog, in which she might over-share her life, to Hank’s consternation. She gives in too easily to her emotions, but of everyone, she is most in touch with them. NURSE/DARLA – 30s – 60s. Nurse is competent if a bit annoying in her approach, “by-the-book” in all things and can sometimes be condescending because she’s so busy. She’s a positive person with a small religious streak. Darla is somewhat flamboyant, artsy and very caring for Joy. A singular soul in habit and dress, she worries about and wants the best for her friend. The show’s sponsor is Warren Jackson, CPA, PLLC. Dennis Loy is producing. 03 architectural control committee ACC Report as of October 31, 2019 2019 Permits Issued Jan Feb Mar Apr May June July Aug Sept Oct YTD Prev.

  • Cherokee Ethnogenesis in Southwestern North Carolina
    The following chapter is from: The Archaeology of North Carolina: Three Archaeological Symposia Charles R. Ewen – Co-Editor Thomas R. Whyte – Co-Editor R. P. Stephen Davis, Jr. – Co-Editor North Carolina Archaeological Council Publication Number 30 2011 Available online at: http://www.rla.unc.edu/NCAC/Publications/NCAC30/index.html CHEROKEE ETHNOGENESIS IN SOUTHWESTERN NORTH CAROLINA Christopher B. Rodning Dozens of Cherokee towns dotted the river valleys of the Appalachian Summit province in southwestern North Carolina during the eighteenth century (Figure 16-1; Dickens 1967, 1978, 1979; Perdue 1998; Persico 1979; Shumate et al. 2005; Smith 1979). What developments led to the formation of these Cherokee towns? Of course, native people had been living in the Appalachian Summit for thousands of years, through the Paleoindian, Archaic, Woodland, and Mississippi periods (Dickens 1976; Keel 1976; Purrington 1983; Ward and Davis 1999). What are the archaeological correlates of Cherokee culture, when are they visible archaeologically, and what can archaeology contribute to knowledge of the origins and development of Cherokee culture in southwestern North Carolina? Archaeologists, myself included, have often focused on the characteristics of pottery and other artifacts as clues about the development of Cherokee culture, which is a valid approach, but not the only approach (Dickens 1978, 1979, 1986; Hally 1986; Riggs and Rodning 2002; Rodning 2008; Schroedl 1986a; Wilson and Rodning 2002). In this paper (see also Rodning 2009a, 2010a, 2011b), I focus on the development of Cherokee towns and townhouses. Given the significance of towns and town affiliations to Cherokee identity and landscape during the 1700s (Boulware 2011; Chambers 2010; Smith 1979), I suggest that tracing the development of towns and townhouses helps us understand Cherokee ethnogenesis, more generally.

  • Fort Loudoun
    Fort Loudoun Fort Loudoun, named in honor of John Campbell, the British commander-in-chief in North America and the 4th Earl of Loudoun, was a colonial American fort located on the banks of the Little Tennessee River near the Cherokee “capital” city of Chota (present-day Vonore, Monroe County). It was originally built during the French and Indian War (Seven Years War) at the request of the British-allied Cherokee warriors fighting the French-allied Shawnee Indians in the Ohio country as a means of protecting their women and children when the tribe’s warriors were fighting battles far from their homes. Ft. Loudoun was the first British fort of any significance west of the Appalachians. Drawing courtesy of Douglas Henry, TN State Parks (http://www.fortloudoun.com ) Virginians were desperate for the assistance of Cherokee warriors in their war against their French and Shawnee enemies. Reeling from a French and Indian victory over British forces under General Edward Braddock in western Pennsylvania, territory claimed by Virginia, the royal governors of Virginia and South Carolina agreed to construct a fort in the Overhill country as the price for Cherokee enlistment. The fort was to serve as a point of refuge for Cherokee women and children to protect them in the event that the French or French-allied Indians attacked during the absence of the Cherokee warriors, who would be away fighting on the behalf of the British and the colonists. But when the Virginians arrived in June 1756 to construct the fort, the South Carolinians were not present. Unaware that the South Carolinian construction team led by Sergeant William Gibbs was temporarily delayed by the appointment of a new governor, the Virginians pondered their next course.

Webb with contributions by Heather L. Olson and David S. Leigh January 2004 ABSTRACT/MANAGEMENT SUMMARY Cultural resource background studies have been undertaken as part of the North Shore Road Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), which is designed to determine the feasibility of and assess the potential environmental effects associated with fulfillment of a 1943 agreement among the U.S. Department of Interior (DOI), the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), Swain County, and the state of North Carolina, calling for the construction of a road along the North Shore of Fontana Lake in western North Carolina. This road proposal originated in the early 1940s with the construction of TVA’s Fontana Lake in Swain and Graham counties. Due to the inundation of parts of the Little Tennessee and Tuckasegee valleys, road access was cut off to some 44,000 acres lying above the reservoir pool on the north side of the lake. Rather than construct a road to access the area during wartime conditions, the TVA acquired the entire 44,000-acre area and subsequently transferred its ownership to Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP). Although limited road construction took place between 1948 and the early 1970s, construction was stopped in 1972 due to environmental and engineering concerns.

The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/DOI: 10.1007/s10814-017-9104-4. 1 Abstract Interest in the study of foodways through an archaeological lens, particularly in the American Southeast, is evident in the abundance of literature on this topic over the past decade. Foodways as a concept includes all of the activities, rules, and meanings that surround the production, harvesting, processing, cooking, serving, and consumption of food. We study foodways and components of foodways archaeologically through direct and indirect evidence. The current synthesis is concerned with research themes in the archaeology of Southeastern foodways, including feasting, gender, social and political status, and food insecurity. In this review I explore the information that can be learned from material remains of the foodstuffs themselves and the multiple lines of evidence that can help us better understand the meanings, rituals, processes, and cultural meanings and motivations of foodways. Key words: Feasts, Gender, Socioeconomic status, Food security 2 Introduction Foodways are the foundation of all archaeological studies.

  • Marcoux, Jon Bernard
    CHEROKEE HOUSEHOLDS AND COMMUNITIES IN THE ENGLISH CONTACT PERIOD, A.D. 1670-1740 Jon Bernard Marcoux A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Anthropology. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Chair: Vincas Steponaitis Advisor: Brett Riggs Reader: Brian Billman Reader: C. Margaret Scarry Reader: John Scarry ©2008 Jon Bernard Marcoux ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JON BERNARD MARCOUX: Cherokee Households and Communities in the English Contact Period, A.D. 1670-1740 (Under the direction of Vincas P. Steponaitis and Brett Riggs) This study focuses on issues of culture contact and the materialization of identity through an archaeological case study of a late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century Cherokee community located in eastern Tennessee. The English Contact period (ca. A.D. 1670-1740) was an extremely turbulent time for southeastern Indian groups marked by disease, warfare, and population movements. I examine how this chaotic period played out in the daily lives of Cherokee households. I use primary and secondary sources to develop an historical context for the English Contact period in the southeastern United States. I introduce a reliable way to identify English Contact period Cherokee occupations using pottery and glass trade bead data. I also consult artifact data in order to identify patterns associated with change and stability in the activities of daily life within Cherokee households. I find that daily life in Cherokee households changed dramatically as they coped with the shifting social, political, and economic currents of the English Contact period.

ACTIVITY PATTERNS AND DIVISION OF LABOR AT A SOUTHEASTERN TENNESSEE LATE MISSISSIPPIAN SITE: TOQUA Dustin Lloyd 86 Pages Entheseal changes (EC), formally musculoskeletal stress markers, are the recordation of osteophytic change at an enthesis (any muscular origin or insertion). Study of EC is valuable in decoding past life activities, social dynamics, and health through the quantification of reactive osseous changes at entheses. The current study assesses EC to ascertain activity patterns at the Late Mississippian Dallas Phase (~1300-1550 AD) site of Toqua, aboriginally located in the lower Little Tennessee River Valley of East Tennessee. Toqua was a multiple mound, palisaded settlement of maize-intensive agriculturalists. The subsistence strategy may have required intense and possibly specialized labor of the upper arms and shoulders. This study compares entheseal scores of 96 individuals at the origins of biceps brachii, triceps brachii, deltoideus, and pectoralis major on the humerus, radius, and ulna of males (n=48) and females (n=46).
