Episode 55 is a discussion with award winning novelist, short story writer, poet, and big-time McCarthy fan, Ron Rash. Ron attended Gardner Webb University in Boiling Rock NC and then earned his master's in English at Clemson University. He is a writing and English faculty member at Western Carolina in Cullowhee, NC, where he serves as the John and Dorothy Parris Distinguished Professor of Appalachian Cultural Studies. Ron has won many (I mean, many) honors and awards, including the Academy of American Poets Prize in 1986, O'Henry short story awards in 2005, 2010, 2019, and the Frank O'Connor International short story award in 2010. His collection of stories Chemistry and Other Stories was a finalist for the Pen/Faulkner award, as was his novel Serena. His most recent novel is The Caretaker, a novel set during the Korean War but dealing primarily with class stratification and the home-front in Blowing Rock, North Carolina. The Caretaker was selected by the New York Times as one of the Best Books of the Year for 2023.Ron was the Keynote speaker at the McCarthy Conference in October, 2024 and was kind enough to sit for an interview and discuss our mutual passion for the works of Cormac McCarthy.Thanks to Thomas Frye, who composed, performed, and produced the music for READING MCCARTHY.

This may cause a mild disconnect in earlier podcasts where the host asks for patrons in lieu of sponsorships. But if we compare it to a very large and naked bald man in the middle of the desert who leads you to an extinct volcano to create gunpowder, it seems pretty minor...
Pendant quinze jours, alors qu'ils traversent les États-Unis, Miguel Allo et Jérôme Colin vont chaque jour à la rencontre des écrivains majeurs de l'Amérique d'aujourd'hui. Aujourd'hui, Ron Rash, que Miguel et Jérôme ont rencontré chez lui, dans sa cabane nichée au cœur des montagnes appalaches, à Cullowhee ! Il vient de publier « Une tombe pour deux » chez Gallimard. Ils abordent ensemble le style de vie des habitants du sud des Appalaches, les oppositions entre les zones rurales et urbaines, son sentiment à l'approche des élections et ce qu'il attend d'un président. Résumé du livre : "Une tombe pour deux" Les Hampton, propriétaires de vastes terres, de la scierie et du magasin général de Blowing Rock, petite ville de Caroline du Nord, désapprouvent l'amitié que leur fils Jacob porte à Blackburn, croque-mort défiguré et boiteux à la suite d'une polio. Et plus fortement encore son mariage avec la très jeune Naomi, fille d'un paysan sans le sou. Profitant de l'éloignement de Jacob, parti combattre en Corée après avoir confié Naomi à son ami, ils élaborent un plan inqualifiable justifié à leurs yeux par une certaine idée de l'amour parental. En fait, il s'agit surtout de protéger leurs intérêts et l'honneur de la famille.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair…" It is striking how much these immortal words, written by Charles Dickens in the mid-19th century at the height of the Industrial Revolution, still apply today. We live in a similarly paradoxical era, only a more complex one. It was during Dickens' time that we began down the unstainable path of prioritizing industry over ecological health, mainly because we were captivated by the hope of progress, or resigned to its inevitability. These conditions really haven't changed. What is different is the accelerated pace of change. Most of the technological comforts we take for granted occurred within the past one hundred years, including electricity, which almost nobody had access to one hundred years ago.So how do we best live and love in modern times? Perhaps the key is to escape the boundaries of time. Both men on this program have stepped outside the conventions of their day. They have left behind modern technological conveniences and chosen to directly encounter the natural world. Thomas Rain Crowe, following the tracks of Thoreau, retreated to his own cabin in the woods, where he lived without electricity and running water for four years. Marc Thibault has ventured deep into the Amazon rainforest on many occasions. He just came back a couple of days ago.What have these men learned about life while indigenizing themselves to the land? Can we remember what it is to be fully human and learn to live and love in the broadest possible sense? What do kinship systems of nature teach us about love? Can modern society learn to go beyond insular love between two humans and become one with the Beloved, one with the Great Mystery of life we are all so privileged to experience.ABOUT OUR GUESTS:Thomas Rain Crowe is an internationally published author, editor, and translator of more than thirty books, including the multi-award winning memoir Zoro's Field: My Life in the Appalachian Woods (2005). He is also a publisher himself (New Native Press) which publishes works of environmental activism and cultural preservation. He was born and raised in Cullowhee, NC. in the Appalachian mountain region of western North Carolina, and this laid the foundation for his literary endeavors and also shaped his profound connection to his land based cultural heritage. During the 1970s he lived abroad in France and then returned to the US, moving to San Francisco, where he became editor of Beatitude (Be-at-a-tood) magazine and press in San Francisco, which made him one of the “Baby Beat” generation. From 1979-1982, he moved back to the woods of western North Carolina to live in the aforementioned cabin where he composed Zoro's Field. His literary repertoire includes poetry collections, essays, and books that delve into themes encompassing nature, spirituality, social issues, and the human condition. Beyond his original poetry, Crowe became renowned for his skillful translations of contemporary and historical European, Sufi, and Hindu poets, including his most recent publication, a masterful translation of select Kabir poems entitled Painting from the Palette of Love, which I might add, I just devoured over the last two days. For a quarter century Marc Thibault has been involved in the social and environmental impact sphere as an entrepreneur, system thinkers and policy influencer covering a wide span of industries and issues developing novel solutions requiring human-centered design while integrating environmental and social concerns. His spent 10 years pioneering model-driven decision support systems until he had his first life-changing epiphany, when he realized how much modern humans, especially children, were exposed to toxic chemicals. Being a father of two boys, he devoted the next 15 years to solving environmental health issues working across the private, public and non-profit sectors and has also worked with hybrid B corps to provide plant based alternatives to toxic chemicals and better protect our children – And then he had his second life changing experience in 2012 when he visited the Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest which led him to starting Nativien (an Indigenous-centered hybrid organization using the universal language of medicinal plants). He is currently active in supporting Indigenous Peoples to create a network of Living Pharmacies throughout the Amazon Rainforest, with three essential goals: 1) bring about a biocultural economy, 2) strengthen Indigenous Traditional Knowledge systems, and 3) change the way moderns relate to the natural world and traditional Indigenous communities.

Luke Manget is an author, historian, and assistant professor of history at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina. After a reading from an 1870's newspaper about a strange race of beings known as “saugers,” we dive straight into the significance of ginseng on the American frontier [1780's], specifically in southern Appalachia: Va, WV, NC. We get into such topics as: the commons vs private property; old world mandrake folklore; & deterring poachers with traps. Luke then describes the ginseng digger stereotype as perpetuated & mythologized by newspapers of the late 19th-century, opening a discussion about class in Appalachian society. For the last third of the episode we hear about the other roots and herbs that were dug for profit besides ginseng; the counter-medical-establishment herbalism movement of the 1800's; and lastly, newspaper accounts of The Wild Man of the Woods.Reading from Ginseng Diggers: A History of Root and Herb Gathering in Appalachia by Luke Manget.

Western Carolina University is looking for feedback as the school updates its future land use plan. This year's student population at Western Carolina University surpassed the predictions which estimated there would be just over 11,000 students in the year 2023. Mike Beyers is chief financial officer of the school. "As we work on this update we don't plan to project the growth to be quite as great over last 8 years. We expect it to slow a bit," said Beyers. The Cullowhee campus of Western Carolina University is about 600 acres. Beyers says the updates will likely focus on upgrading older facilities. "The master plan isn't looking so much at how many square ft to accommodate growth but rather how will we deal with aging facilities that we currently have," said Beyers. Many included in the previous master plan from 2014 have already taken place. That includes new student housing, a new parking deck and the $110.5 million Apodaca science building, which opened in August. "The Apodaca

Rural counties in Western North Carolina are vaccinating first responders. BPR went to a mass COVID-19 vaccination in Jackson County. A cold wind blows outside the Jackson County Recreation Center in Cullowhee. But it hasn't stopped officers, firefighters and first responders from lining up to receive their COVID-19 vaccines. "There's actually been a good turn out. It was actually real smooth once we got in line." That's Kent Davis, a deputy with the Jackson County Sheriff's Office. He's worked in law enforcement for more than 35 years. "I have elderly parents so I was concerned for them. I think if you care about people at all than you wouldn't want to spread it," said Davis. The Jackson County Sheriff's Office had to close for a week this month because of an increase in COVID-19 cases locally. Davis felt it was a good idea for him to get the vaccine because he is in contact with so many people as part of his job. Jennifer Webb agrees. She is a volunteer firefighter. "Because we come

Cherokee Little People Were Real by Mary A Joyce was written to help preserve a unique bit of American history, a history that captivates the imagination. The book features testimonies of men who discovered ancient little tunnels, small skeletons and even a child-size skull with all its wisdom teeth when they were working on early construction projects at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina. Discoveries also were made at old moonshine and mining sites south of the campus. The book features lots of photos, including one of an intriguing face on an ancient metal oval that was found after an historic flood washed away significant topsoil in the region. Discovery sites are clearly pointed out on maps that may help archaeologists discover even more evidence that an ancient race of Little People once lived in the North Carolina Mountains.Today we will discuss if the Cherokee Little People & Moon Eyed People were in fact the same.http://skyshipsovercashiers.com/Jared Murphy will also join us Conflict Radio - Episode 30 The Cherokee Little People Are Realhttps://conflictradio.net/

Nearly 400 people marched on the campus of Western Carolina University Wednesday afternoon in response to racist videos featuring students that were posted to social media last weekend. Those students are no longer enrolled at Western Carolina and will not return. In a sea of purple face masks, students gathered near the fountain on campus for the Whee United March - a play on the campus location in Cullowhee. "Whee Want Change, Whee Want Change," the crowd chanted. Senior Donnavan Spencer is a criminal justice major and a starting running back for the Catamounts football team. He was one of the event's organizers. Spencer thanked university leadership for Tuesday night's announcement that all five student in the videos were expelled. "That made this movement even more powerful that we stood up for something and we got justice. But like I've told everybody today this doesn't stop this is just the beginning. That we don't want this to be a moment thing, we want this to remain a movement
In this final episode of our three-part series, Faith-Based Programs and Their Impact on Rural Communities, which we're doing in collaboration with and supported by The Duke Endowment, Michelle chats with three experts about efforts rural churches are making to narrow the academic achievement gap and improve literacy rates for students in rural North Carolina: Dr. Helen Chen, consultant and researcher, Sharon Locklear, Director of the Sandy Plains United Methodist Church Summer Literacy Program in Pembroke, N.C., and David Reeves, Senior Minister at Cullowhee United Methodist Church in Cullowhee, N.C. During summer months, Dr. Chen notes, there is often a dearth of academic enrichment opportunities in rural communities, and literacy programs implemented by rural churches can help ensure that students meet mandatory grade-level literacy requirements and prevent "summer slide." The Duke Endowment’s Rural Church summer literacy initiative, whose roots date back to 2012, provides churches with grants to host six-week reading camps that ,include 90 hours of instruction, coupled with wraparound services, such as breakfast and lunch, transportation, and family engagement activities. Reeves' church hosted its first camp last year, which was extremely successful. It prompted them to continue the camp this year, albeit with a shorter program and a focus on children who did not have access to remote learning, while also adhering to CDC safety recommendations. Dr. Chen points out that the pandemic accentuates the literacy gap in rural communities and necessitated increased virtual learning this summer. Locklear's program, which also began last year and has continued this year, provides Native American students, "who are more tactile learners," with additional hands-on activities, such as magnet boards for sentence structure and poster boards for vocabulary instruction. This episode is sponsored by The Duke Endowment, www.dukeendowment.org.
The first day of class for most UNC System schools is August 17. BPR spoke with a Western Carolina University student who already contracted COVID-19 as school officials set out new policies to address the pandemic. Miranda Curtis is from Murphy. She's a hospitality and tourism management major at Western Carolina University. Right now she's rethinking that career path... "I mean it seemed like a good major before all of this started," says Curtis, who is 23-years-old. Curtis spent the summer working at Brio Tuscan Grill at Harrah's Cherokee Casino and taking online classes at Western while living in Cullowhee. About a month ago she started having a constant headache - that's when she tested positive for COVID-19. "I couldn't breathe a lot. My friends would call me on the phone and I just wouldn't even be able to get a sentence out because I was so out of breath," says Curtis. She's okay now but still isn't sure where she caught the coronavirus. Harrah's announced a COVID-19 outbreak
Molly Sawyer used to sculpt stylized horses and human figures from clay. That changed after her battle with breast cancer. "The work became a response to my own direct experience with life, death," she said. "I guess the issue of mortality has always been present in my deeper thought process." Today, Sawyer's work is a mashup of found objects such as driftwood, stone and metal rods with braided or balled-up wool, twine, ash and fur. She usually works large, with some installations at once clumped on the floor, leaning against a wall and hanging from the ceiling. The dimensions and materials make this body of work difficult to place in galleries focused on sales, but Sawyer is riding a wave of exposure in area museums and art centers. She's among the 50 artists invited into the Asheville Art Museum's "Appalachia Now!" exhibition, and Sawyer is soon opening solo shows at Revolve in Asheville and at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee.

2018 was a tough year for flooding in the United States, and nowhere worse than in the Carolinas, where Hurricane Florence dumped three feet of rain in spots. Damage is estimated at $13 billion but at least half of that is uninsured – as most residents had no flood insurance. While some didn't know they needed it, others took a gamble by going without and lost.But the bigger folly some argue is federal flood insurance itself which encourages some homeowners to disregard risk, by providing subsidized premiums at a level far below what's actuarially-required to cover the claims' costs. The same program also pays homeowners to rebuild their flooded homes in the same low-lying spots, over and over again.How can we better protect our lives and property from flood waters? And what urgency will Florence bring to the debate on providing better flood insurance protection for coastal and inland residents alike? Host Lisa Miller sat down with a catastrophe risk modeler and a coastal flood scientist to get some answers.Show Notes: Lisa's guests are both PhD's – one working in private sector flood insurance and the other in public university research on flooded coastlines – and both are focused on mitigating risks. Dr. Roger Grenier is Senior Vice President and Global Resilience Practice Leader at AIR Worldwide in Boston. His team has worked since 1992's Hurricane Andrew to develop catastrophe modeling as a way to predict the severity of extreme events. Their data and analytics has helped make the insurance and reinsurance industries more resilient over time. Dr. Robert Young is a Professor of Coastal Geology and Director of the Program for the Study of Developed Shorelines at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina. His team of scientists and policy analysts examine how storms and sea level rise are changing America's coastline and communicate their findings to policymakers. From individual homeowners to local communities to federal agencies, they have developed tools to protect from and adapt to flood risks. Dr. Grenier said advances in modeling technology are having a greater influence in assessing and pricing flood risk. Older mapping technology, largely based on historical data, such as stream flows and hazard areas based on land use, has been used primarily by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to determine risk and rates. The NFIP has evolved over its past 50 year history and is now beginning to adopt catastrophe models. “When you develop a model, you can look forward and assess not only changes in land use but also changes in the climate and that's how our models are driven, by starting really with a climate model as opposed to relying strictly on historical data,” said Dr. Grenier. Modeling brings other benefits: its cost and scalability mean more frequent updates and more realistic gray areas of risk in place of black and white maps, where a property is strictly “in” or “out” of a particular flood zone. The podcast also discusses policies on pricing risk and funding rebuilding after flood calamities. Dr. Young said federal policy provides “moral hazards”: incentives to do the wrong thing rather than the right thing. After storms, federal flood insurance and federal Stafford Act disaster funding pay to restore homes and sometimes elevate properties and structures to help prevent future flooding, something he said is only a partial solution.“If you lift-up an oceanfront home, you still have to hold the shoreline in place. And if you raise a community anywhere in the floodplain, you still have to get utilities to that community and get transportation in there. The biggest problem that I see right now is that there are very few incentives to change the exposure map for these communities, to get some properties out of areas that are in the floodplains,” said Dr. Young.Case in point: Dauphin Island, Alabama. This community of repetitive loss properties has received seven disaster declarations in the past 30 years. There have been properties rebuilt multiple times in the same location following successive storms, thanks to federal and state subsidies that rebuild the infrastructure. From 1978 through September 2018, the taxpayer-backed NFIP has paid out more than $68 billion in claims – historically, nearly 30% of claims are paid to the 1% of properties classified as repetitive loss properties.“It's not the folks on Dauphin Island that are crazy, it's the rest of us that are crazy for allowing that to happen,” said Dr. Young. The answer he said is changing incentives by finding a way for the true cost of living in these dangerous places to be incorporated in the cost of these properties. The imbalance occurs in both high-cost oceanfront investment properties but also in affordable housing communities along our coastline.The podcast also discusses this year's White House budget that stressed reforms to bring needed financial stability to the debt-ridden NFIP and expanding the private market to reduce the federal government's NFIP exposure. Under budget director Mick Mulvaney's proposal, FEMA would have authority to discontinue NFIP coverage for extreme repetitive loss properties following future losses. Starting in 2021, coverage for commercial properties would be phased-out, while no policies would be written for new construction inside a special flood hazard area. FEMA meanwhile is forging ahead and redesigning NFIP's 2019 rates to more realistically price risk. Dr. Grenier predicted that any future changes will be by a measured process as the private insurance market evolves, so it can price for it and provide reserves for it. “People need to understand the limitations of maps and understand other aspects of the home, such as elevation. They need to hear the message about buying flood insurance, whether from private insurers or the NFIP, and be realistic about what they can expect when they have no insurance versus having a flood policy.Private insurance companies, powered by advanced catastrophe risk models, are able to better understand risk. In Florida, encouraged by model regulation to encourage a vibrant private market, nearly 30 companies are offering coverage as an alternative to NFIP at competitive rates.Host Lisa Miller, a former Florida deputy insurance commissioner, noted “it's clear as crystal that when it comes to flood risk, we still build too close to known dangers. The growing folly of our public policy is encouraging risky human behavior. And we all pay, some with our own checkbook, the majority through higher taxpayer subsidies, and yet others, sadly, with their lives.”Links and Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Private Flood Insurance & Resilience webpage (Lisa Miller & Associates)IBHS Fortified Home™ Program (Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety) Coastal Wind Damage in North Carolina from Hurricane Florence (AIR Worldwide In Focus, 10/8/18)The Aftermath of Hurricane Florence (AIR Worldwide, 10/18/18)Flood insurance paid homeowners $100,000 more than FEMA after Harvey, expert says (Houston Chronicle, 6/16/18) Private flood insurance could fill North Carolina's coverage gap (Lisa Miller column in the Raleigh News&Observer, 11/16/18)Our View: Federal flood insurance program needs rethinking (Fayetteville Observer, 12/2/18)North Carolina Flooding Exposes Flaws in Flood Insurance Program (Bloomberg News/Bureau of National Affairs, 9/21/18)New resilience organization at FEMA aims to build ‘culture of preparedness' (Global Resilience Institute, 6/5/18)** The Listener Call-In Line for your recorded questions and comments to air in future episodes is 850-388-8002 or you may send email to LisaMiller@LisaMillerAssociates.com **The Florida Insurance Roundup from Lisa Miller & Associates, brings you the latest developments in Property & Casualty, Healthcare, Workers' Compensation, and Surplus Lines insurance from around the Sunshine State.

John attended the 'Poster Session' at Cullowhee this year where each recipient is required to do a poster explaining their work.
Western Carolina University is located in Cullowhee, North Carolina. The small town is named for a legendary Cherokee warrior and the area has a strong connection to this tribe. The university is the fifth oldest in the UNC system and was established in 1889. What started off as a high school, grew to become a teaching school and then the university that it is today. As is the case with so many universities, it has seen its measure of death, some from tragic circumstances. This has left a spiritual residue in several of the buildings on campus. Our listener Sarah Hollingsworth is a former alum and tour guide for the school and she joins us to share the history and haunting experiences, including some of her own, at Western Carolina University. She also shares several of the legends from the area. The Moment in Oddity features the Mellified Man and This Month in History features King Kong premieres in New York City.

In an unlikely place at an unlikely time, a group of black and white former sharecroppers, socialist organizers, and Christian reformers began an agricultural experiment in pursuit of economic subsistence and human dignity. Historian Robert Hunt Ferguson, in Remaking the Rural South: Interracialism, Christian Socialism, and Cooperative Farming in Jim Crow Mississippi (University of Georgia Press, 2018), makes the surprising case that the Depression-era Mississippi Delta provided the necessary conditions for the flowering of such an endeavor. New Deal policies inspired socialist optimism while their racial exclusions left displaced tenant farmers looking for work and attracted to enterprises like Delta Cooperative Farm and Providence Farm, which promised to break them from the cycle of debt and offer them equal access to the schooling, medical care, and opportunity enjoyed by the white middle class. These cooperative farms drew inspiration from the transnational communitarian movement and advanced the radical visions of the American Socialist Party and the religious left, including celebrated theological Reinhold Niebuhr, who served as president of their board of trustees. While the experiment struggled with agro-ecological obstacles and internecine power struggles, and ultimately could not withstand the postwar attacks of white supremacist movement, Delta and Providence stand as models of how those trapped within withering hegemonies imagine a most just and free society and set out to do the daily labor of bringing it into being. Robert Hunt Ferguson is an assistant professor of history at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and his publications include “Mothers Against Jesse in Congress: Grassroots Maternalism and Cultural Politics of the AIDS Crisis in North Carolina” (Journal of Southern History, Feb 2017). Brian Hamilton is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Wisconsin, Madison where he is researching African American environmental history in the nineteenth-century Cotton South.

Actor Nick Searcy was born on March 7, 1959 in Cullowhee, North Carolina. A graduate of the University of North Carolina, he began his career in theater, appearing in numerous off-Broadway productions. He only started gaining prominence, however, in the 1990s, when he first cracked acting for film and television. Small roles in regional productions led to some degree of recognition in the 1991 film Fried Green Tomatoes, where he held a small, but crucial, role as the abusive husband of Mary-Louise Parker’s character.
