AMS students taking a hike to remember
Bee Log family of seven loses house to flames
Students and staff of the Arthur Morgan School in South Toe are spending six days enjoying some of the best hiking trails in Western North Carolina, including a walk from Celo to Asheville. Only the most advance hikers are chosen for this trip that leaves directly from AMS. Hikers don their packs and walk directly out of the school doors, over Mt. Mitchell to the Folk Art Center in Asheville. The hikers spend the evenings sleeping under the stars, and for some this is their first steps on the Appalachian Trail as they traverse over Roan Mountain and through Carvers Gap. The most challenging and sought-after trip, however, is the hike to Asheville. Strong hikers - those who can keep a determined attitude during long days and the possibility of rainy weather, are chosen for the hike, school leaders say. See Page 6

The clothes dryer sits in the yard at the destroyed Bee Log home of the Geraci family. The fire was apparently sparked by the dryer vent last Wednesday.
By Jonathan Austin Yancey County News A Bee Log family lost their home and family pets last Wednesday in a ferocious fire sparked by a burning dryer vent. The home of Matt and Velena Geraci, located off Bald Mountain Road, burned Wednesday afternoon while Velena Geraci was working on the third load of laundry of the day and caring for Ayla, their four-year-old, Matt said. They had a movie on for entertainment when something made her go check the laundry room. Black smoke poured out and the fire leapt through the house. “She barely had time to grab Ayla to get out side,” Matt said. As they ran from the house, he said large pieces of the ceiling were falling behind them. Matt, who works construction, and his mother, Karen Bach, arrived as Velena and Ayla stood in the yard watching the home burn. Karen, owner of the Music Box store in Photo by Brett Hopson Burnsville, was frantic as her two beloved dogs, Cougars were happy Friday as the varsity beat West Sugar and Jasmine, were in the burning house Henderson 47-31 at homecoming. See more sports as was the Geraci’s pet parrot. The pets were photos inside! lost in the flames.
Downtown regulars may remember Bach’s puppies, two Pomeranians, when they came to work each day with Bach. Word spread quickly through the closeknit Bee Log community, and buses took the family’s four other children to the home of another grandparent so they wouldn’t arrive on the bus as their home was burning. Other than Ayla, the children are Aaron, 14, Maya, 13, Summer, 10, and Hannah, age 8. Friends are offering shelter and a clothing collection at Guy’s General Store has resulted in boxes full of apparel being given to the family, but what they say the really need is the chance to replace their uninsured house. Matt has the skills to build a home, his mother said, and the family would appreciate donations of building materials or money in order to get back on their feet. “They’re so thankful for all the help they’ve already received,” Bach said. Those wishing to help the family can contact Bee Log Elementary, Jason at Guy’s General Store, or Karen Bach at the Music Box, 132 West Main St., Burnsville.

What does a voucher accepting school look like?
Part III of an NC Policy Watch series Beginning in 2014, some North Carolina families will be able to use taxpayer dollars to send their children to private schools. School vouchers, formally known as ‘Opportunity Scholarships,’ are offered up by school choice advocates as the cure-all for underserved minority children who are failing in the public school system. Qualifying families will be able to use the vouchers seek out better educational alternatives in private schools offering smaller class sizes and more specialized instruction. Critics of the voucher system say the program will siphon desperately needed funds out of the public school system to offer what would effectively be a tax break to families who can already afford to send their children to private schools. That’s because at $4,200 per year, a school voucher isn’t enough to cover the cost of attendance at most private schools in the state. Truly lowincome families won’t be able to make up the difference between the voucher and the tuition, fees, and transportation costs. Following part I and part II of our series on school vouchers, today we look closely at some private schools that stand to benefit from the Opportunity Scholarship Program. *** New City Christian School, a K-6 private school in Asheville, is one of nearly 700 private schools (70 percent of which are religious institutions) in North Carolina that are eligible to receive students who have Opportunity Scholarships come 2014. According to New City’s website, the school was founded in 2006 in response to a persistent community problem in Asheville of an academic “achievement gap” between white and AfricanAmerican students. “Minority kids are not doing well in Asheville’s public schools,” New City’s executive director, Coral Jeffries, told NC Policy Watch. “Less than 50 percent of [minority] students pass the End of Grade (EOG) tests in many schools, and North Carolina’s EOGs are very easy.” To compare students’ academic performance at New City to that of students in Asheville City Schools is not easily done. Students at private schools in North Carolina are required by law to take a nationally-normed standardized in grades three, six and nine; students in public schools take End of Grade (EOG) tests, which are not nationally normed, in grades 3-8 and 10. Students at New City take the WoodcockJohnson III standardized test. According to the school’s website, 54 percent of African-American students who had attended at least one year at New City scored above the 75th percentile for Total Achievement, which tests students in reading and

math. That sounds better than the percentage of African-American students who pass End of Grade tests in Asheville’s public schools, which is as low as 32.8 percent at one elementary school – but how would a parent be able to truly compare? How rigorous is the Woodcock-Johnson III and how does its testing components compare to EOG testing? How would those private school students perform on public school EOGs after completing coursework at New City? It’s a guessing game. New City also does not accept students with severe learning disabilities. “We get no government funding for extra resources for truly special needs,” said Jeffries. “We do take students who have IEPs (Individual Education Plans), but it would be morally wrong to take students we can’t help,” Jeffries explained, meaning students who have significant learning needs. “We have no one on staff with a degree in special education.” While New City is able to provide smaller class sizes and “a spiritual focus to provide a hopeful framework for life’s challenges,” questions arise with regard to access and religion. The vision of New City is to “provide an education that is Christ-centered and academically rigorous.” To that end, the school’s philosophy of education embodies the following: “Since God’s truth is revealed in the scriptures as well as in all creation, the Christian worldview approach integrates the truth of scripture with learning in all subject matter.” Jeffries says none of that will change once 2014 comes and voucher-bearing students come to their doors. “We welcome anyone from any faith or no faith at all to our school,” said Jeffries. “But a parent has to understand that we will do certain things in certain ways. If they are not comfortable, they shouldn’t come to our school. No one is compelled to come to our school.” “We are not coercive,” Jeffries emphasized. “People who have been rescued by God understand that you don’t force it on someone.” New City charges tuition and fees to families on a sliding scale, taking into account household income and ability to pay. Jeffries says it costs roughly $6,600 to educate a child at New City, but few families are in a position to pay that amount, so the school raises money elsewhere, from local individuals who care about social justice to church meetings where a hat gets passed around. Jeffries has also been involved in lobbying efforts for the Opportunity Scholarship program, having donated $1,000 in 2012 to a political action committee called Partners for Educational Freedom. That PAC is associated with Parents for Educational Freedom North Carolina (PEFNC), an organization known for its involvement in school privatization and vouchers. In 2012, Partners for Educational Freedom PAC funneled more than $90,000 in campaign funds to lawmakers who would work to push school voucher legislation through the General Assembly. Rep. Marcus Brandon (D-Guilford), a key champion of the school voucher legislation, received campaign contributions totaling more than $10,000 from school choice proponents – approximately 25 percent of all donations he received. Jeffries said she made the $1,000 donation to support the passage of the school voucher legislation because she has firsthand experience with her private school. “To see the Opportunity Scholarship bill pass – that says no matter what your income is, you’re not stuck with what our government offers. It’s about justice,” said Jeffries. While not all leaders of other private religious institutions have embarked on lobbying campaigns to get school vouchers enacted into state law, it’s worth highlighting another one of those schools that stands to gain from the Opportunity Scholarship Program as an example of the lengths to which taxpayer funds will fund religious education. Bethel Christian Academy in Kinston serves grades K-12 and also houses a day care. Bethel bills itself as a fundamental Christian school whose purpose is to “provide its students with an educational program that in its entirety, exalts and
glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ by making Him the center of all things.” Admission is based on past report cards, performance on previous achievement tests and an entrance test, in addition to an interview. According to its handbook, Bethel uses textbooks that are “God-centered, teaching spiritual truths, morality, and patriotism.” The textbooks that Bethel uses include the A-Beka Book curriculum and books from Bob Jones University Press. These texts teach students Bible-based facts, including the following: dinosaurs and humans co-existed on Earth; slavemasters generally treated their slaves well; in some areas, the KKK fought the decline in morality by using the sign of the cross; and gay people have no more claims to special rights than child molesters or rapists. Bethel’s Standards of Conduct are peppered with Christ-honoring language. Notably, Bethel requires the following of each student, whether they are at school, home or elsewhere: “to refrain from participating in worldly activities such as swearing, indecent language, vandalizing of any property, trashing of any public or private property (i.e. “papering” a house), smoking, possession or use of alcohol, drugs or tobacco, gambling, viewing pornography, premarital or extramarital sex, homosexuality or other sexual perversions, and involvement in secular, non-Christ honoring music.” If you are a gay student or interested in listening to or creating secular music, that’s grounds for expulsion. School officials at Bethel Christian did not return calls for comment. *** Earlier this year, the Supreme Court in Louisiana ruled that state funding for vouchers was unconstitutional. The 6-1 ruling did not specifically strike down the voucher program on the basis of the First Amendment Establishment Clause, prohibiting the use taxpayer funds to support religious education. Instead the ruling more simply stated that public money then being used to pay private and religious school tuition should be going to public schools, as it was intended. Contesting the constitutionality of a school voucher program on the grounds that it violates the separation of church and state is tricky territory, according to first amendment lawyer Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean of the School of Law at the University of California-Irvine. “In 2002 case Zelman v. Simmons-Harris, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a 5-4 decision that allowed for school vouchers to go to religious schools. But only if many other alternatives, including secular schools, existed as options as well,” Chemerinsky told NC Policy Watch. Zelman v. Simmons-Harris specified that the following conditions must be met in order for a voucher program to be constitutional: • the program must have a valid secular purpose, • aid must go to parents and not to the schools, • a broad class of beneficiaries must be covered, • the program must be neutral with respect to religion, and • there must be adequate nonreligious options. So if there is a situation where in some rural areas only religious private educational options exist, that could be a scenario in which the constitutionality of the voucher program can be contested, said Chemerinsky. North Carolina’s state constitution does not have a clause that specifically addresses the separation of church and state, making a legal case on those grounds challenging. The state’s constitution does have a “uniformity clause,” however, requiring that the state provide a general and uniform system of free public schools. The school voucher program could be contested on those grounds, with the idea that spending taxpayer funds on private schooling inhibits the state’s ability to achieve those ends. Just after the passage of the budget proposal containing the school voucher provisions, the North Carolina Association of Educators (NCAE) notified members of the General Assembly that they plan to challenge the constitutionality of using taxpayer dollars to fund private education in court.

Seven-year-old hunter: Two weeks, two rack Early success in hunting has a few different meanings. One way early success can be explained is a successful early part of the season in which the game pursued was taken in the beginning stages of the hunt. For instance, one who tags out on opening day has had early success. Another way early success can be achieved is if the hunter is successful at an early age. A hunt in which a youth is able to take a nice buck while hunting with his dad fits this scenario. Then there is one more. This is when both meanings overlap. On opening day of deer archery season Brayden Morris went out on a hunt with his dad, Kevin. The weather was nice with cooler temperatures and a new moon. Kevin had set up a box blind stand overlooking a pine thicket and knew deer frequented the area. Sure enough, around 7 a.m. deer begin entering the opening in the thicket. It did not take long for nearly one dozen deer to fill the area. Brayden, only seven years old, was not new to hunting. He had hunted deer since he was four. His experience allowed him to remain patient and wait for the big buck that was sure to follow the others out. And there he was. The largest deer Brayden
Bill Howard’s
Outdoors
would have an opportunity for. It did not wait. No, it headed straight in. The other deer cleared the way knowing this buck was in charge. Brayden had other plans though. This seven-year-old set the sights of the Striker 380 crossbow upon the buck’s shoulder. He gently moved his fore finger to the trigger and lightly squeezed. He hit his mark, and there lay the biggest buck of Brayden’s early hunting
career: A beautiful eight pointer measuring near 118 inches and weighing 150 pounds. Early success. One week later, Brayden and his dad set up in the same stand once again. And just like before, the thicket filled with whitetail shortly after sun up. And there he was. A larger buck than before. Again, a dominate buck made his way through the thicket to the ambush area. Unlike the one before, Brayden just could not get a clear shot. Three times over the next 20 minutes Brayden would set up for the shot only to have the wrong angle or another deer in the way. But the boy’s experience, patience, and nerves of steel allowed him to wait for the right time. The right time would come. Brayden once again set the sights of his crossbow upon the shoulder of the buck. Breathe. Exhale. Squeeze. Kevin and Brayden tracked the blood trail and came upon the downed creature. This one’s antlers were still covered in velvet. A mainframe nine with a kicker that rough measured 124 inches and weighed the same as the first, Brayden had just filled both of his antlered buck tags in the first week of the season. Each deer set Brayden’s personal best. With that, this boy achieved what some adult hunters take years to accomplish: the full meaning of early success. Bill Howard teaches hunter education (IHEA) and bow hunter education (IBEP) in North Carolina. He is a member of North Carolina Bowhunters Association and Pope & Young, and is an official measurer for both. He can be reached at billhoward outdoors@gmail. com.

Playhouse features ‘new’ Sherlock Holmes Parkway Playhouse’s Sherlock Holmes Returns continues through Oct. 5 Parkway Playhouse, with performances scheduled on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Sherlock Holmes Returns is a new play, written by Western North Carolina area playwright and broadcast radio personality, Jeff Douglas Messer. Messer has been active with Parkway Playhouse since 2004, when he appeared as the lead in Parkway Playhouse’s production of The Foreigner. He has been involved in every season since. Sherlock Holmes Returns is his second world-premiere as playwright. In 2009, Messer wrote Esley: The Life and Musical Legacy of Leslie Riddle which focused on Burnsville legend Leslie Riddle. A passionate fan, and an avowed “Geek” Messer’s other plays have included plays about Robin Hood and Dracula. Sherlock Holmes fits right in. The set up for this new adventure begins when dangerous inmate escapes from an asylum and makes his way to London; where a series of grisly murders that spark fears that Jack-the-Ripper has resumed stalking the streets; dead bodies have go missing from the morgue; and a mysterious, but cursed jewel, from Transylvania has disappeared inexplicably. Is “world’s greatest detective”, Sherlock Holmes, himself presumed dead for three years, after a confrontation with the evil genius Professor Moriarty took them both over the steep drop off of Reichenbach Falls, somehow connected to this string of horrific and bizarre crimes? “What is fun about this Sherlock Holmes
adventure is that it is gloriously melodramatic. It is a throwback to the legendary Hammer Films, which were noted for their highenergy takes on vampires, monsters, and Holmes. ” commented P a r k w a y Playhouse Producing Artistic Director, Andrew Gall. “It has all the things you love about Sherlock Holmes, including a particularly nasty villain, a damsel in distress, a complicated mystery. There are a lot of dead bodies and a host of bizarre characters.” In the title role of Sherlock Holmes, is Parkway Playhouse veteran Rob Storrs, who has previously played Holmes in Parkway Playhouse’s 2008 production of Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure. In the critical role of Dr. Watson, Holmes’s faithful friend and sidekick is Messer, himself, pulling double duty as an actor. Also appearing, is Gall, who appears as the twisted Professor Moriarty. Gall, Messer, and Storrs, are all observing their tenth

Hepburn home included on Mayland home tour
The public is invited to join the Mayland Community College Foundation on Saturday, Oct. 12, for the 2013 Yancey County Dream Home Tour! This one-day self-guided tour features five unique and beautiful homes located in Yancey County. Each of the homes on this year’s tour defines its homeowner’s dreams - and Yancey County - in its own special way. The home of Pat and Janet Hepburn will be featured on the 2013 tour. The original log cabin style home was built by author Malcolm Ross and was featured in the June 1958 National Geographic. The Hepburns purchased the cabin in 1982, and the family renovated it including banks of windows to showcase views featuring the surrounding landscape and the splashing branch. They also added
wraparound decks and love to call their secluded retreat, just one mile from town, home. Additional homes from the Mountain Air home of Darrell Heasley and Rebecca Schmidt to Michael and Patte Myers’ old log cabin, River Run, to other homes featuring panoramic views and unique samplings of Yancey County history complete t h i s f a l l ’s tour. Proceeds from the Ya n c e y C o u n t y D r e a m Home Tour benefit scholarships for Yancey C o u n t y students at Mayland Community College. The tour funds the Intelligent Choice Scholarship for a graduating
senior from Mountain Heritage High School. “Each year, the Yancey community really comes together for the tour. The tour would not be possible without the support of over 75 volunteers. The great thing is that the proceeds stay local to help our students,” said veteran tour organizer and MCC Foundation Board member Bill Baker. Tickets now available!

Students from Arthur Morgan School on their six-day hikes.
A hike that binds
From the front Alumni of the hike will tell you the deep sense of pride they feel afterwards is well worth the effort. Ninth grader Asher Doyle has been looking forward to the trip with a mix of anticipation and trepidation. “I really don’t like hiking, but I have a good time. We play games and people laugh a lot. You get really close to everybody.” Getting outside, experiencing a real physical challenge and being slightly uncomfortable is really what the trips are all about, said Admissions Coordinator Bridget O’Hara. The trips bond the students and staff together in a tangible way. Hikers are dirty, hungry, sore and tired and still having a great time together. That rapport carries over to their friendships and the classroom, O’Hara
said. “When students come back to school and they get frustrated with a writing assignment or a math problem we remind them about the difficulties they personally overcame on the hike,” O’Hara said. “ Yo u f i n d o u t more about yourself than you knew, you get time completely by yourself and get sweaty gross and hot,” said eighth grader Miranda Klein. “When you get to the top and there’s a gorgeous view, it’s just the most amazing feeling to be up there. There is just something I keep with me and think about later when other things are hard,” A r t h u r M o rg a n School is a progressive boarding and day school. Enrollment is 27, co-ed, with Montessori education and Quaker values, located in the Celo Community.

Most children will ‘push back’ if you let them A journalist recently asked “What is the biggest mistake parents make?” I had to think about that. Which parents? The biggest mistake made by some parents is they pay entirely too much attention to and do entirely too much for their children. These children usually, but not always, end up as spoiled brats. Why not always? Because some children, by mysterious means, manage to do well in spite of less-than-optimal parenting. The notion that one is produced by the manner in which one is raised is belied by the many exceptions, including children who do well despite bad upbringings and children who do badly in spite of good upbringings. On the other hand, some parents’ biggest mistake is that they pay entirely too little attention to their kids. Those folks are not generally found reading parenting columns, so I will not belabor their misdeeds. It would only serve the purpose of giving my regular readers reason to celebrate themselves, which is an

untoward thing to do under any circumstances. The biggest mistake made by still other parents is that they think the misbehavior of a toddler is cute, or they rationalize their failure to discipline at that critical state by saying such things as “He’s only 20 months old, after all” and “It’s just a stage … he’ll grow out of it.” Parents of the pre-psychological era understood the need to nip misbehavior in the proverbial bud, when it first reared its ugly little head. Today’s parents lull themselves into dangerous inaction with such fluffy, largely meaningless homilies as “Don’t sweat the small stuff” when in fact all of the big stuff begins as small stuff. Without early correction, you may check out for tantrums grow into rages, disobedience grows one week with your into defiance, occasional disrespect grows into library card. belligerence, and not picking up one’s toys Family psychologist John Rosemond grows into refusal to do one’s schoolwork.

We have CDs for all ages and tastes, both books and music, as well as some very entertaining 50 minute lectures about literature by Elliot Engel, and some Great Study Courses by college professors. We also have DVDs
with instructions, as in “Honey, a friend of mine is coming over and I’d like to serve coffee in this room, so I need you to pick up these toys and move them somewhere else, okay?” Explanations invite push-back, as in “I was here first! Why can’t you and your friend use the kitchen?” These parents tell me their children are argumentative, which simply means that they, the parents, combine explanations with instructions. Under those conditions, all children, being clever, will seize the opportunity to push back. In this example, the proper form is “I want you to pick up these toys and move them somewhere else, right now,” and the proper response to “Why?” is “Because I said so.” And then, as in the above example, the biggest mistake made by some parents is attaching “okay?” on to the end of what they think are instructions. This quickly becomes a bad habit. I once had a parent count the number of times she did that in a day. She reported over 50, telling me that even though she was counting, she couldn’t make herself stop. “Okay?” is not an instruction. It is a nambypamby request, a petition made to the resident prince or princess of petulance. It deserves to be ignored, which is what usually happens.

Playhouse auditions for ‘Carol’ The Parkway Playhouse will hold open auditions for its 2013 Holiday production of A Christmas Carol on September 28 and October 1. The auditions will be held at the Parkway Playhouse /Mountain Heritage Center campus located at 202 Green Mountain Drive on Saturday, September 28 starting at 10am through 12pm and then on Tuesday October 1 starting at 6pm and going through 8pm. Performances are planned for MidDecember at Mountain Heritage High School’s Tomberlin Auditorium. The production is a direct adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic about a miser named Ebeneezer Scrooge who has lost all sense of humanity, to say nothing of Christmas spirit. Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his longdead business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him he must change his ways if he hopes to avoid damnation in the afterlife. Scrooge is then haunted by more ghosts who ultimately lead Scrooge to one of the most profound and heartwarming transformations in literary history. The cast for the Parkway Playhouse production calls for a cast of 20-30 performers aged 6 and up. There are numerous speaking roles and singing roles for adults and children. The score for the show includes some of the most wellknown holiday music of all time, including songs like The Carol of the Bells, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Joy to the World, Deck the Halls, and more. The production is being directed by Parkway Playhouse Producing Artistic Director Andrew Gall and will have musical direction by Burnsville native, Andrea Bailey.
Alex Biggerstaff featured in b-ball promotion Fomer Mountain Heritage star Alex Biggergstaff is featured on a UNC Asheville promotion touting the coming basetball season. Biggerstaff, who redshirted last season for the Bulldogs, is expected to contribute as a shootign guard/ small forward swing man on the Division 1 basketball team. The Bulldogs will face national power Duke in the first round of the Preseason NIT at historic Cameron Indoor Stadium on Monday, Nov. 18. You can see the ad featuring Biggerstaff to the right.
Asheville prof lauded for discovery of Lincoln photo The discovery of Abraham Lincoln in a rare photo at the scene of the Gettysburg Address has put Christopher Oakley, UNC Asheville assistant professor of new media in the national spotlight as the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s famed oratory approaches. Smithsonian magazine and USA TODAY both featured Oakley in articles published Tuesday. Smithsonian asserts that Oakley’s discovery “looks to be the most significant, if not the most provocative Lincoln photographic find of the last 60 years.” Controversy exists because just six years ago, USA TODAY, on its front page, featured claims that a different man in the same photo is Lincoln. Oakley, an animation
professional and selfdescribed Lincoln nut, used a combination of historical records, other photos and portraits, high-tech new media tools and software, computer science and physics to convince many leading Civil War photography scholars that his man is Lincoln. Oakley’s discovery grew out of the “ Vi r t u a l L i n c o l n
