ISBN 978-1-893239-80-7. Elise Anderson, Wake Forest University n western North Carolina, communities hundreds of years old are now under assault. Population growth exceeds the carrying capacity of the land and triggers permanent environmental degradation, while the influx of newcomers swamps local traditions, values, and Iadaptations to the surrounding ecosystems. Sound bad? It is, but End of Eden offers hope and illustrates a way to communicate effectively about the very real dangers that threaten the communities, human and natural, of the mountains of North Carolina. A poet and environmentalist, Thomas Rain Crowe is the author of twenty books, including Zoro: My Life in the Appalachian Woods and Drunk on the Wine of the Beloved: 100 Poems of Hafiz. His literary archives have been purchased by Duke University. The topics Crowe addresses in End of Eden are as varied as the mountains he calls home. Throughout the volume, artwork by Robert Johnson illustrates the beauty and biodiversity of western North Carolina. The first of the book’s three sections presents broader perspectives on the ecosystems, history, and cultures of the mountains. The second, a collection of articles and editorials, focuses on local issues and political responses. Crowe concludes with columns from the Smoky Mountain News that capture the vibrancy and promise of the Jackson County Farmer’s Market. The farmers market is one traditional organization that is getting much attention now as a sustainable solution to current economic and environmental problems.

  • Year Three,” the Achievements You’Ll Find Between Its Covers Were Set Into Motion Long Ago
    YEAR thre While the title of this report is “Year Three,” the achievements you’ll find between its covers were set into motion long ago. Leadership at Wake Forest has never been a forward-facing act only, rather it draws from the traditional and the contemporary to provide new direction. It’s about taking as much as giving. What we take from our successes, our failures and the relationships forged along the way, we give to others in the form of leadership. There Are mAnY wAYs to leAd whAt mAtters most is thAt we do A Time for Gratitude Both stories started humbly. Both held expectant hope. Both told of the journey of success and a quest to be better. And both are far from over. The stories of Bob McCreary and Wake Forest share strains of similarity that evoke deep pride and immense gratitude. Bob saw space in the furniture industry for growth and leadership, so he created a business and is now a prominent leader in the field. Even as he continues to innovate and adapt, he never betrays the values that built his business – the ones that got him to where he is today. Throughout Wake Forest’s history, we have surveyed the landscape of higher education, assessed our strengths, measured our potential and pursued an ambitious path. And as we have repeatedly been challenged to innovate as an institution, we also hold to the depth of our tradition. Three years ago, we enthusiastically launched the most ambitious campaign in Wake Forest history. Charts, graphs and consultants assured us we would reach our goals, and we had the projections to prove it.

  • The Real Everett and Frank Story of ACC Basketball
    The Real Everett and Frank Story of ACC Basketball Most every ACC basketball fan knows of the “bitter rivalry” stories re NC State’s Everett Case and UNC with Frank McGuire. Yes? If you are a sports fan in North Carolina and are of a certain age you understand that basketball was defined by this rivalry and reached a peak with the 1957 Lennie Rosenbluth national champions. Is there a “rest of the story” here? Bob Lee, a respected blogger who over the years focused on Tar Heel basketball wrote in his March 22, 2016 blog: “The period from 1957-62 was pivotal; for Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal……for ACC Basketball. ………. And for the future of Basketball in America. As “Lefty” was running the mob’s sports gambling operation, Everett Case and Frank McGuire were birthing a phenomenon known as ACC Basketball. Case came to Raleigh from Indiana set upon making William Neal Reynolds Coliseum the center of Southern basketball. But Case needed ‘a hated rival’ to gin up the ‘tobacco-road’ Populace of the “Rip Van Winkle State. Enter Frank McGuire. With McGuire’s imports from NYC and Case’s Hoosiers the perfect adversaries, Case and McGuire would meet for Sunday dinner at Case’s home in Raleigh and contrive ‘bitter rivalry’ scenarios to gin up their quite naïve fans. The off-court theatrics between the two cagey coaches were as phony as pro wrestling but the on-court battles were quire real. Meanwhile in the Chicago suburb of Cicero, Frank ‘Lefty’ Rosenthal took a meeting with an ambitious young basketball player named Jack Molinas.
