The work will be performed under a $13.2 million contract with Estes Brothers Construction of Jonesville, Va. and will be administered by the Federal Highway Administration’s Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division. Funding is provided to the NPS through the Federal Lands Transportation Program to support this work.

Park Superintendent Ditmanson said, “In developing this contract we made every effort to minimize the disruption to visitor access to Park attractions and to our gateway communities. The contract incorporates a variety of work restrictions that are tailored to minimize lane closures during the busiest periods.”

Motorists should expect delays due to lane closures through June 15. There will not be any daytime lane closures from June 15 through Aug. 15. After Aug. 15, daytime lane closures will again be allowed. No work of any kind will be permitted on federal holidays or during the month of October.

This section of road was last repaved in the 1980s and is badly deteriorated. In addition to the repaving, major work items in this project include the replacement of drainage culverts and the repair of several guard walls. This work is the second of three phases to repair all 15 miles of the Road from Newfound Gap to the Park boundary at Gatlinburg – a process that Park managers expect to finish in 2016.

For more information about road closures, please visit the Park’s website at www.nps.gov/grsm and or call the Park’s Road and Weather Information Line (865) 436-1200.

The Asheville Art Museum has received a grant to continue collecting and archiving contemporary Cherokee art.   The Museum currently has 25 works from Cherokee artisans including baskets, carvings and ceramics.

“The Museum created this project in response to a growing need to document and develop public access to the modern-day evolution of Cherokee craft art heritage, which is a defining part of the cultural heritage of the Blue Ridge region,” said Kathleen Glass, Asheville Art Museum communications manager.  “The Museum has developed a multi-faceted approach to accomplishing our two major goals of increasing access to and understanding of Cherokee heritage and contemporary styles of Cherokee art and promoting economic development and sustainability of artists and art institutions in the Qualla Boundary region.”

The $18,000 grant was given by the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area Partnership (BRNHA) which gives grants to organizations promoting and preserving any of the following areas:  agricultural heritage, Cherokee heritage, craft heritage, music heritage, and natural heritage.

“The mission of the Blue Ridge Nation Heritage Area is to preserve, celebrate, to interpret and to sustainably develop heritage resources in western North Carolina for the present day and for future generations,” said Angie Chandler, BRNHA executive director.

She said that the grant to the Asheville Art Museum sets well into the mission of her organization “because it is archiving and preserving collections of contemporary Cherokee art”.

“The goal of that grant is to encourage economic development and sustainability of artisans in Qualla.”

The Asheville Art Museum listed several partners in their grant including Qualla Arts & Crafts Mutual Inc., Oconaluftee Indian Village, and the Cherokee Preservation Foundation.

“The Cherokee Preservation Foundation was able to support a collaboration between the Asheville Art Museum and Qualla Arts and Crafts that assisted Qualla with improving their marketing and sales web presence as well as highlighting their artists more effectively through artists biographies and backgrounds,” said Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle, Cherokee Preservation Foundation executive director.  “Partnerships like these help CPFdn to leverage resources for Qualla Boundary nonprofits and build mutually beneficial relationships in the region.”

Glass said the Museum hopes to accomplish five specific goals with the project including:

• Complete assessment of Cherokee artwork
• Develop online database of contemporary Cherokee artwork
• Purchase works from regional Cherokee artists
• Present lecture series to promote Cherokee heritage and craft arts
• Present workshops on collections management in Cherokee

“The Museum has, over the past few years, developed a series of exhibitions featuring Cherokee baskets, carving and ceramics,” said Asheville Art Museum curator Frank Thomson.  “We are excited about this project because it provides the opportunity to make the world more aware of Cherokee artists, their rich cultural history and their ongoing creativity.”

Chandler related that the BRNHA has been involved in grant-making for 10 years and currently works on an every other year grant cycle.  For this current cycle, a total of 18 grants were made totaling $225,000.

The large pot has a design of seven Carolina parakeets in a flock formation. The eye of each bird is marked with a Macon County ruby. The pot was funded in part with proceeds of the Jim McRae Endowment for the Visual Arts, and represents the first project of the endowment. Jim’s widow, Barbara McRae, matched the $500 grant from the endowment with a donation in memory of her mother, Mary Sears, who died in 2011.

“Joel made it possible to do this significant project by reducing his normal commission fee,” McRae said. “I am grateful to him and to the Friends, who commissioned Scott Danals, a local crafter, to build a custom display case for the piece.”

McRae said the project brings together many important elements. “My husband had great admiration for traditional Cherokee arts and crafts and was part Cherokee himself,” she said. “He also shared my love of nature. The motif of Carolina parakeets is not only beautiful, but, given that these once-common birds are extinct, also serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life. The rubies are a special touch, as gems have such an important place in Macon County history. To have all these elements come together in an exquisite piece of art for the endowment’s first project is remarkable.”

McRae said it was important to her that the artist is from the area, and that the case was locally crafted. “I was married to an artist for 38 years,” McRae said. “My experience taught me what artists go through, and how much they offer the world. Through the endowment, I hope to continue to connect artists and the public, to the benefit of both.”

Queen, an EBCI tribal member and a descendant of the Bigmeat family, is a ninth-generation potter who is helping to preserve the traditions of Cherokee pottery. He often blends traditional and modern designs, and he works as a sculptor and wood carver as well as a potter. He has won awards nationwide and his pieces are displayed in several museums, including the North Carolina Museum of History.

The McRae endowment honors the memory of artist Jim McRae, who died on Dec. 7, 2010. The fund was established through the Macon County Community Foundation, an affiliate of the North Carolina Community Foundation (NCCF).

A local group, the Association for the Visual Arts (AVA), serves as an advisory board for the McRae endowment. Members are Ashley Harllee, Karen Kenny, Tom Ritter, Hank Shuler, Russ Gale, Janice Cumming, Karen Wallace, Cherry Jackson, Rachel Hoskins and Norma Hendrix.

For more information about the reception, please call the Macon County Public Library at 524-3600. For additional information about the art of Jim McRae, the endowment in his name, or AVA, see www.mcraestudio.com. Additional works by Joel Queen can be seen on his website at www.joelqueengallery.com.

This work day event has taken place in the Park for the last 17 years and highlights the importance of trails to recreation, education, and physical fitness as well as recognizes the important work performed by trail volunteers. During 2012, the park recorded over 30,000 volunteer hours of time to help maintain the over 800-mile trail system. Appalachian Trail Work Day provides an opportunity for the public to help care specifically for sections of the Appalachian Trail.

Volunteers will be assisting in such work as the cleaning and replacing water bars, rehabilitating steps and turnpikes, and generally helping to main trail tread on sections of the AT between Icewater Springs Shelter and Silers Bald, Davenport Gap going south and NE from Low Gap.

The work day concludes with a barbecue picnic at Metcalf Bottoms Picnic Area for all registrants who will also receive a commemorative t-shirt.  A registration fee for this activity will apply which goes to sponsor trail projects in the Smokies. Participants should wear sturdy shoes, bring lots of water and a lunch for the day.

The first quarter of play was a back and forth battle between the two defensive squads of each time that kept the game scoreless heading into the second quarter. The War Eagles defense decided it was time to help out their offensive teammates by adding a quick score of their own.

War Eagles linemen, led by Haile Gibson, Stephen Little and Demakus Staton, put the Wildcats’ linemen to the test as they disrupted plays all game long. With the defensive line’s help, Brett Robertson was able to scoop up a loose ball off an ill-fated option play and rumble fifteen yards for the touchdown. The two point conversion was no good.

In response, the Wildcats answered back with a 12 yard scoring pass in the back of the end zone on their ensuing possession. They were able to convert on their two point conversion with a dump pass to their tight end.  Tri-State’s momentum was in their favor going into the halftime break as they led 8-6.

After the break, the War Eagles offense was able to pick up a quick score in a big way. Josue Otero ripped off a huge 68 yard rushing touchdown, breaking tackles and tightrope stepping the sideline the whole way to pay dirt. Two point conversion attempt was good as Josue Otero ran a sweep to the left side of the field making it 14-8 in favor of the War Eagles.

In true rival fashion, the Wildcats answered with a big passing play that ended with a score. Their two point conversion was good and they took the lead back at 16-14.

The War Eagles defense came up with another big 3^rd and long stop by the hands of Andre Dewhurst who tackled the running back for a huge loss. After the War Eagles received the football from a punt, it was the offenses time to get their team in scoring position. Dewey Barker connected with Josue Otero for 40 yard completion to set up the field goal unit on the twelve yard line. With a minute left in the ball game, Matt Martens connected with a winning field goal try to put the final points needed to win the contest.

The Wildcats’ last ditch effort to win was brought to a sudden halt as their final pass attempt was intercepted by Austin Curtice to seal the War Eagles’ victory. Final Score: WC War Eagles 17, Tri-State Wildcats 16.

Offensive Leaders: Rushing – Josue Otero, 158 yards. Jeremy Watkins, 58 yards. Passing – Dewey Barker, 85 yards. Josue Otero – 40 receiving yards.

Defensive Leaders: Andre Dewhurst – 8 tackles, 3 for loss. Brett Robertson – 9 tackles, 1 recovered fumble (TD). Demakus Staton – 7 tackles, 1 forced fumble. Rob Welch – 6 tackles, 1 recovered fumble.

“The War Eagles would like to thank everyone involved again, without your support we would not be here,” said War Eagles officials.  “Thank you to The One Feather staff. Please keep checking our facebook page andwareaglesfootball.org for playoff information and updates.”

As a collaborative project between the Eastern Band of Cherokees and several other agencies, Northern Red Oak trees have been manually planted on the Tribal Reserve at the head of Jenkins Creek.  The tree planting is a promotion of forest and wildlife management here on the Qualla Boundary.

Andy Lundquist and Chris Cooper are shown removing Northern Red Oak trees from sacks for planting in the tribal reserve on Tuesday, May 14. (J.D. ARCH/One Feather intern)

Dwayne Vigil, Haywood County Ranger for the NC Forest Service, commented, “It’s always exciting to see that our cooperators are actively engaged with sound forest management in trying to grow a better specie of tree that eventually might be a good commercial specie for NC, for its citizens, and for the public to be able to plant and in the future to harvest.”

Tommy Cabe, EBCI forest resource specialist, stated, “We know that all the trees will not make it due to a variety of reasons. However, those that do hopefully will grow to their full potential.  From a forester’s perspective this is a way we can predict timber volume in the future. The extra bonus is the mass of acorns for wildlife.  It is always exciting to see how projects like this will turn out.“

Vigil continued, “We’ve got representatives from Cherokee County all the way to Haywood County for the NC Forest Service.  That’s going to encompass seven counties, which is going to be district 9 for the NC Forest Service. “ The University of Tennessee, the NC Forest Service, Job Corps, and state nurseries are also involved in this project.

“It’s a renewal natural resource that can be used and harvested as long as we ensure we’re replanting like we’re doing today,” Vigil said.  He explained that they will be genetically looking at these mass producing trees to determine if the red oak is a specie that is going to grow well here within western North Carolina.

In a final statement Cabe said, “In the future we look forward to strengthening these relationships for future projects. In closing, I would like to say thank you to all of those who assisted in this project and an extended thank you to the executive office for lunch during the two days we planted the trees.  Sgi!”

OJT NEWS

The Boys Club is sponsoring the Summer Youth On-the-Job Training (OJT) program again this year.  There were 40 applications from college and high school students hoping to be chosen to participate in the 2013 OJT Program.  Since there was such a large response to this program, the Club decided to hire two extra students bringing the total to 15 instead of the 13 that were reported in last week’s Boys Club Report.  These students will begin work on June 10 and will work through Aug. 2.

CONGRATULATIONS

Congratulations to all the students who have been and will be honored for athletic and academic achievements last week and in the coming weeks until the end of the school year.  The Club especially sends their congratulations and best wishes to the 2013 Senior Class as they prepare for their graduation ceremony on Saturday.  The Boys Club will help the seniors celebrate this special time by taking them to the Chestnut Tree Inn on Friday to have breakfast.

Thanks to all of the teachers, administrators, school staff, parents, School Board and volunteers for their dedication to our students and to Cherokee Central Schools.

WATCH OUT FOR THE CHILDREN

Please pay special attention to the school buses as they load and unload students during this time of year.  The days are getting warmer and the children are anxious to get home to play outside.  They may be distracted and not as careful as they normally are.  Also watch out for them as they are riding bicycles, skateboards or playing in the road.

U.S. POSTAL SERVICE FOOD DRIVE A “HUGE” SUCCESS!

On Saturday, May 11, the U.S. Postal Service sponsored a food drive to benefit food banks across the nation.  Our local Post Office placed paper bags in all of the mail boxes and post office boxes on the Reservation and asked the postal patrons to fill the bags with non-perishable food that would then be returned to the mail boxes for pick up by the mail carriers.  This is the first year that Cherokee has participated in this drive and it was a HUGE success.  William Thayer, Cherokee’s Post Master, was the organizer of the Food Drive.  Family Support Services is grateful for the consideration given to their Food Pantry and greatly appreciates the participation from the residents of the Qualla Boundary.

MEMORIAL DAY HOLIDAY

Monday, May 27 is a Tribal, Club and School holiday.  All offices will be closed to observe this special day.  Memorial Day is a United States holiday that occurs every year on the last Monday in May.  This is a day for remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.  Formerly known as Decoration Day, it originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate Soldiers who died in the Civil War.  This day typically marks the start of summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.

Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!

The purpose of Memorial Day is a noble one, to honor America’s fallen.  Those freedoms that we sometimes take for granted, are reminders of their ultimate sacrifice and of our debt to them, a debt that we can never repay.  It’s hard to complain about the high cost of anything this weekend as we remember the high cost they paid for us all.

On Memorial Day we mourn our fallen and remember their legacy of courage and the future that they have given us.  The flag draped coffins of our fallen heroes bear witness to the noble sacrifice they have made for us.

The questioning eyes of their widows and orphans haunt us through their tears.  On behalf of a grateful nation we pledge to them to work for greater peace, greater unity and greater forgiveness.  To those families we pledge to open the doors of our hearts to each other to work to heal our communities, our nation and our world.  We owe this to them and to our children.

On this day and every day, those who have died for us would ask no less.  They live in our history, reside in our hearts, and rest forever in the arms of God.  God bless their families.  God bless our veterans and God bless our great nation.

Come and be with us at 11am on Monday, May 27 at the Yellowhill Veterans Memorial Cemetery to honor our fallen.  You will be glad you did.
