The star of #CHANSTALLATION UNCA’s seventh chancellor settles in PHILLIP WYATT

A&F Staff Writer pwyatt@unca.edu Chancellor Mary K. Grant has lived in Asheville less than a year, yet she already sounds like a local.

Her love of hiking, bike riding, gardening, Highland Brewing and The Hop’s dark chocolate ice cream depicts Grant as a quintessential Ashevillian.

“I really like the size of scale of Asheville- not too big, not too small,” Grant said. “You can wander around in the River Arts District and find a whole different vibe, a whole different set of places to explore- restaurants, coffee shops and galleries.You can go down to West Asheville, where there is just a great music scene. It’s surrounded by all of this natural beauty. There seems to be something for everybody here in our own backyard.”

Born in Boston, the

diehard Red Sox fan is no stranger to the liberal arts curriculum. Grant received her bachelor’s degree in sociology from Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in 1983, according to information from a UNC Asheville press release.

Grant said she took a year and a half off before earning a master’s degree in public affairs from the University of Massachusetts, Boston, in 1986, using her time between degrees to reflect and determine her next move in academics.

The chancellor started her career in higher education as a research assistant at UMass Boston, also teaching graduate-level courses in the university’s public policy program.

She also spent years as assistant vice chancellor for administration and finance and chair of the college’s faculty.

Campus police move sparks renovations on campus

Graphic courtesy of Thumbtack

Do small businesses struggle

ALLANA ANSBRO Contributor aansbro@unca.edu Returning students and staff discovered that UNC Asheville’s campus police moved from Vance Hall to Weizenblatt Hall this semester.

“This has been a process that started about three years ago,” said Eric Boyce, assistant vice chancellor for public safety.

Boyce, active in law enforcement for 22 years, said he became the assistant vice chancellor for public safety at UNC Asheville in 2010.

“Sometime prior to 2013, a student fee was approved for Student Health Services and Safety and that money was used to purchase what was previously called the MAHEC building,” said David Todd, director of campus operations of 14 years.

In July 2013, the campus purchased and renovated the Mountain Area Health Education Center building. Student Health Services and Alumni Development then moved from Weizenblatt into the MAHEC building in January 2014, Todd said.

According to Boyce, Weizenblatt remained vacant for a year and a half before renovations began. Renovations included new flooring, carpets and resizing rooms.

One of the main reasons behind the move was to allow the campus police to become accredited, Todd said.

“All the examination spaces, when it was previously health services, had restrooms. We changed those around and did some things to the mechanical Read more on page 20

BECCA ANDREWS

News Staff Writer randrew1@unca.edu In Asheville, small, independent businesses are part of local culture. Each street has unique restaurants, shops and businesses. But survey results from a website called Thumbtack questions how well Asheville fosters these businesses.

Thumbtack is a website that connects customers in need of a service to local professionals and small business owners. It includes home, wellness, lessons and events categories and lists the services of professionals from disc jockeys to electricians. For the past two years, Thumbtack has been running a survey, asking small business owners who use the website how friendly their city is to small businesses.

“We took a survey of about 18,000 small business owners across the United States and we asked them to tell us what they thought about the local government where they operated.

We ask them questions about regulatory environment, how helpful training and networking opportunities were, if the website was functional, if they were able to get their business up and running and hire the employees they needed quickly,” Jon Lieber said. “We use all these factors to compute an overall score that sort of judges the friendliness of small business in cities across the country.”

Lieber, chief economist for Thumbtack, said Asheville’s overall grade of a C is pulled down by its C+ score for its regulatory environment, and a C grade for the ease of starting a business. Factors that affect these scores are the complexity of tax codes, and the ease of obtaining and maintaining a business license.

Dorsey Ridgely, owner of Team Green Cleaning, said she remembers being audited for a tax she did not know existed.

Ridgely said a tax representative informed them they were

paying their use taxes improperly. Ridgely did not know that all equipment not for sale was subject to taxation.

“I said, ‘Okay then, everything in here, including me is for sale,’” Ridgely said.

According to the North Carolina Department of Revenue, the state sales and use tax rate is 4.75 percent as of April 1.

The local Buncombe county tax adds 2.25 percent to bring the total rate to 7 percent. The state income tax is 6.9 percent.

Gerry Seymour, local business consultant and coach, said he deals with small businesses across North Carolina, and tax and insurance complaints are common.

“Even for my business, and the kind of insurance for mine is real minimal, you’re looking at a couple thousand dollars a year for insurance,” Seymour said. “And for someone starting a new business or for new businesses that is struggling the number feels big. In reality, if a Read more on page 20

NEWS Grove tenants move in to disappointment LEE ELLIOTT

Contributor lelliott@unca.edu his fall, new tenants of The Grove at Asheville moved in to stained furniture, leaking appliances and prolific pests, among other unpleasant surprises.

“The carpet turned my feet black and the vents had mold growing on them,” said Gabby Fitts, a UNC Asheville student.

“The windows had mold growing on them, there was standing water in my dishwasher and there was white powder in the stove.”

Other Grove residents said they moved into disheveled apartments with serious plumbing and cosmetic issues.

“The sink was leaking. There were holes in my roommate’s floor, and there were scratches all over the furniture from pets,” said Audrey Nelson, new Grove tenant from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

She said the apartment she moved into looked nothing like the room she viewed before signing her lease.

“I expected more from seeing the model unit,” Nelson said.

Several Grove residents say they had similar negative experiences moving into The Grove this semester.

“We had to get somebody to come and clean our couches because they were so nasty,” said Andrew Atisa, a UNCA student from Chapel Hill. “Our carpets had burn holes and stains.”

The Grove staff respond slowly to maintenance requests, if at all, according to residents.

Both the staff and Campus Crest, the property management

T

firm that owns and operates The Grove franchise and 81 other such student housing complexes, did not respond to requests for comment.

Other Grove residents reported problems with pests like ants, cockroaches and rats.

“When we were walking home from class, there was a rat in the middle of the road. It looked like it had been there all day,” said John Mallow Jr., a junior at UNCA. Fitts said she saw cockroaches in a neighbor’s apartment.

“We have ants in our foyer.

The last person to live here left trash in the hall and now there is a colony of them,” said Brandon Schuler, Grove tenant and local business owner.

Schuler lived at the Grove for three years, but says he saw pictures prior to moving in that led him to believe the apartment complex had more amenities than it did.

“I expected more from the demo apartment, and when I looked online they had photos of fire pits and pools, which don’t exist,” Schuler said.

Other Grove residents said they saw photographs on the Grove’s website, depicting apartment dwellers laughing around fire pits and playing in a pool. Some residents said the terms of their lease were unclear.

“When I moved into the apartment originally, I thought I was going to be living with my friend and another guy,” said Grove tenant John O’Connell.

Instead, O’Connell ended up living with four other people in a three-bedroom apartment, none of which was mentioned Read more on page 5

Hyannis House provides safe harbor

Hyannis House officials opened the semester Contributor ehender1@unca.edu by inviting new and returning students to utilize their facility.

“The Hyannis House is a safe space and resource center for women, those affected by sexual violence, LGBTQ and allies,” said Jess Frayer, a senior psychology student and co-leader of SPEAK Up. According to Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendments Act, colleges and universities who receive federal funding are to combat gender-based violence and harassment, and respond to survivors’ needs, in order to ensure that all students have equal access to education.

According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, one out of every 5 women are sexually assaulted while in college. The statistic is lower for men: one out of every 16 men.

UNC Asheville funded Hyannis House to house organizations that included SPEAK Up and the Trans Student Union. This is the first women’s and LGBT+ resource center on campus.

Student organizations such as SPEAK Up and Trans Student Union now have available office space.

Riley Howard, co-founder of the Trans Student Union, said they want the community to know their office is located at the Hyannis House. The house provides a safe place to learn, study, socialize and not be judged.

“The students who organized this event really have a story to tell,” said Karin Peterson, a sociology and anthropology professor attending EMILY HENDERSON

the Hyannis House Lawn Party.

Students can come to Hyannis House if they have instances of gender discrimination, sexual assault or harassment, according to university data. Students staffing the house have campus safety and Title IX training in order to help students who come to them.

“When I found out about the Hyannis House, I went from feeling like I wasn’t going anywhere in college, to being able to create change and provide a safe space on campus,” said Howard.

Hyannis House is located at 24 Hyannis Drive, behind Owen Hall. A trail starts in P13 parking lot and leads to the house. Hyannis House is open Monday through Thursday noon- 6 p.m. and Friday through Saturday from noon- 4 p.m.

Howard said the Trans Student Union holds meetings every Saturday at noon.

“We have two-hour planning meetings every week. The first hour is a support group and the second hour is planning fundraisers and community outreach. The planning meetings are open to all students, but the support group is exclusively for transgender students,” Howard said.

SPEAK Up holds meetings every Monday from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

“There is no space on campus where you can really be alone and be guaranteed that alone time.

The Hyannis House has a special room reserved for students who need a safe space to be alone and have a private reaction to the things they are feeling,” Howard said.

According to Frayer, the creator of the Hyannis House Facebook page, this organization aims to foster inclusion Read more on page 5

in his lease agreement.

The Grove management caught flak in the past for not providing a safe environment, according to city records.

According to information from the Asheville Fire Department, in February, a water main burst under building 900 causing the first floor to flood.

During the subsequent repair, electrical generators were used to power drying fans in the first floor apartments, releasing poisonous carbon monoxide into surrounding apartments. The whole building had to be evacuated and a woman was briefly hospitalized.

“Despite evidence to the contrary, it’s not as terrible as people make it out to be,” said Mallow. “But it’s not the best place to live.”

and a culture of equality while providing resources, support networks and a space for community building events.

“There are libraries, brochures and handbooks as resources throughout the house,” Frayer said.

This is aside from other resources the staff at the Hyannis House can provide for students.

According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, less than 5 percent of victims report the incident to law enforcement.

“Surviving sexual assault made me realize I can use my experiences to help others and that is what I want to do with my life,” Howard said.

“I’m changing things here on campus and it’s really made a difference about the way I see and feel about college.”

Smoke and Mirrors: The dark side of drug use in Asheville LARISA KARR

culture, the beer and the underlying feel of community: Asheville has a reputation for fostering all of these things.

But this sense of community also comes with a dark side, one rarely associated with a city characterized as a hippie mecca, ready to extend its arms to embrace the vagabonds, artists and activists that tread its streets.

This dark side can be snorted, shot up or swallowed.

“The real addict is brought to the feelings that makes them see life the way they want to,” said Inigo Sanabria Gonzalez,

former UNC Asheville student.

“Once you know that lens, and you know that you like seeing things through that lens, you just want to keep it on.”

Buncombe County is included in the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program, a program funded by federal, state and local governments to curb drug trafficking in critical regions of the United States.

The initiatives are geared toward investigating narcotic transportation through North Carolina, which is considered a primary corridor for the passage of opioids, and most recently, the location of an emerging increase in Mexican black tar heroin, according to the White House website.

Susan Holman, a doctor who specializes in addiction medicine, confirmed that heroin abuse, in black tar and powder form, is alive and real in the Asheville area.

“We used to think of heroin as just sort of a street drug that only down-and-outs used, and boy, has that changed in the last 20 years,” Holman said.

“It’s being seen a lot now on college campuses and pretty much everywhere else.”

The rise in heroin abuse is a side effect of the ongoing trend of prescription drug abuse in the United States, which, according to a 2010 survey from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, indicates that

individuals age 12 to 25 report the highest rates of nonmedical use of prescription drugs. One counselor said this specific phenomenon extends to UNCA as well.

“In terms of heroin, I don’t think we have an accurate size of the extent, but what we see are students who arrive at UNC Asheville already addicted to pain meds,” said Barbara Galloway, substance abuse counselor at the UNCA Health and Wellness Center.

“Then, of course, as college students they can’t afford to buy OxyContin off the street, so they will turn to heroin as a cheaper alternative.”

This year, I am determined to make the most of my college experience. As a 32-year-old senior who transferred here with an associate’s degree from A-B Tech, I am considered a non-traditional student. My anxiety kept me from participating in the past, but I decided to get involved and make every penny of my tuition work for me.

I followed Campus Recreation on Instagram and Facebook. For the weeks of welcome, I decided to try Stand-up Paddleboard Yoga. I like longboarding and thought I might have the balance needed to stay on a floating board.

teams, which is a scary thing because you can go to five sets and possibly lose. Staying together and calm under pressure was really important for us.”

Santos said they played well as a team and that everyone has a job to do to make everything come together.

“I hate to pinpoint players.

We really perform well as a unit. It’s difficult to put emphasis on one or two players,” Santos said. “We will pick an MVP and someone else who made the all-tournament team, but to me it is the ultimate team sport. You just can’t do it by yourself.”

Fischer was named to the All-Tournament team following the weekend, while Cameron Pryor, freshman UNCA volleyball player, was named the tournament’s MVP. According to Santos, the biggest takeaway from the tournament is that the team is improving. They aren’t where they want to be yet, but they are definitely on an upward swing.

It’s a positive start, he said, and hopefully it can only go up from here.

The UNCA women’s team heads to the Citadel this weekend for their next tournament.

“The next team we play is the Citadel so we are feeling pretty happy about playing them again. It’s also a lot of confidence coming into the next tournament. I think we feel like big dogs right now and it’s great,” Fischer said. “We need to take that positive energy and pride to the next tournament. We can beat anyone we play in the next few tournaments.”

She said the participants were so varied in skill and age and they all did the movements wonderfully.

“Honestly, they surprised me by how quickly they picked up elements and how well they executed them,” Istvan said.

She said it was refreshing to teach those who wanted to learn and were visibly enjoying it.

Synchronized swimming was new to participant Jessica Wolfe, 24, a former lifeguard.

“It was the first time I’ve ever done anything like this,” Wolfe said.

It was very challenging, she said, and a little harder than she thought it would be.

Michelle Bettencourt, faculty member in the foreign language department, said she thought it was a great idea to offer a workshop at UNCA given Istvan’s background and experience.

“It was so fun to try something totally different,” Bettencourt said.

Bettencourt said she especially enjoyed the low pressure, fun and accepting atmosphere.

There was a diverse group of people in attendance.

“All were made to feel welcome,” she said. “We all had smiles on our faces the entire time.”

Auf Wiedersehen: Q&A with retired German professor CHARLIE STODDARD DIANE ROYER Contributors

Photo by Henry Stern - Contributor

Henry Stern is a recently-retired teacher at UNCA.

UNC Asheville’s mentor, friend and German professor has retired.

A graduate of Northwestern University, he has taught hundreds of students at the UNCA since 1975. Courses he has taught include German Civilization, Stylistics, the German Novelle and introductory German courses, also serving as chair of the Foreign Language Department for many years.

Henry Raymond Stern was raised in New Jersey and has a German heritage, which he said inspired him to study German in his sophomore year in high school.

Professor Stern spent the 1960s completing his undergraduate studies in Vienna and Graz, Austria. He was a Fulbright Scholar at Muenster University from 1964 to 1965, an experience he considers to be life-altering. His credits earned at Muenster University were applied at Northwestern Graduate School. At Northwestern in 1968 he said he had the privilege of studying under Professors C. R. Goedsche and Meno Spann, native Germans, career professors and very good pedagogues. Stern received his master’s and doctorate degrees from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.

“So much has changed since I began teaching at UNC Asheville in 1975. For instance, the library was only half the size it is today. The bookstore and cafeteria were in the lower level

of Lipinsky Hall. The landscaping is phenomenal. Melissa Acker has done a wonderful job and it is so wonderful to look out the window and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us.”

What changes have you seen in the German department?

“I have enjoyed the warm, welcoming environment that UNC Asheville exudes. I have had the privilege of getting to know many great students who have come through the German department. I have seen changes in curriculum twice over the years. It is wonderful to see Wiebke Strehl as chair now. The German department is a wonderful department run by an excellent professional.”

How would you sum up your career at UNCA? “I would use a quote by Milton Ready who said, ‘I was pleased to be able to practice my discipline.’”

How are you spending your retirement years, Professor Stern?

“I am going over a personal inventory, rethinking my time schedule and I’ll be traveling to Colorado to be introduced to my newest granddaughter. I have three sons, two have their Ph.D.s and the youngest studied biology under Professor David Clarke.”

“The one thing I miss is the daily contact with my former colleagues and, yes, I plan to continue to reside in Asheville.”

Movie Review

Commentary

Fantastic Four teleports audience through a

Fantastic Mess

By Michael O’Hearn, Social Media Editor - mohearn@unca.edu

Going into the new Fantastic Four film directed by Josh Trank, I didn’t have high hopes.

I had heard about the numerous complications behind the scenes, ranging from the fist fights actor Miles Teller almost ignited with Trank, to the multiple reshoots the film added at the last minute.

So where do I begin to tell readers this movie not only met my low expectations, but also made history as the biggest bomb of 2015? Starting from the top of this atrocity sounds like a fine idea.

I want to liken this film to what might happen if someone were to run a red light in New York City in a shiny Ferrari going way over the speed limit.

Numerous pedestrians would be killed, cars would crash and burn and the whole scene would be a fiery explosion of mayhem and destruction.

The movie theater audience might be like the police personnel, yelling at the Ferrari to stop dead in its tracks in order to spare innocent lives.

The concept behind this reboot of the

2005 movie is interesting enough. Reed Richards discovers interdimensional travel at a young age and is enlisted by a scientist, Franklin Storm, and his daughter, to do more experiments on his findings while in high school.

It’s the execution of this film, including the acting and cringeworthy script, that leaves something more to be desired by a casual moviegoer like myself.

Along the way, Richards’ childhood friend, Ben Grimm, and Franklin Storm’s son, Johnny Storm, get involved with the project. The scientist also has to call upon Victor von Doom for some inexplicable reason for additional support.

During the first 45 minutes, we follow the new team as they try to get along with each other while perfecting the science of teleporting between dimensions.

Read the last sentence again, putting emphasis on 45 minutes and considering all of this time is used for the exposition of the science that goes into the team’s research and the construction of Richards’ machine on a full scale.

The experience of taking a short-lived

trip to another dimension only lasts 10 minutes, which, of course, fails, setting up the rest of the movie.

The movie needed some kind of drama extending beyond the tired cliches utilized in this film. Johnny Storm is reckless and his father disapproves of the way he lives in the shadow of Sue Storm, his adopted sister.

Reed Richards and Victor von Doom immediately dislike each other once paired up, which makes little sense to me because there is no prior history between the two scientists.

And, of course, we get the forced love triangle between Doom, Richards and Sue Storm. Richards tries to flirt with Storm by bringing up music, inquisitively calling it “her thing,” which comes off awkward and uninspired.

We get a mere mention that Doom has romantic feelings for Sue Storm, which don’t resurface until the very end when Doom is trying to kill everyone. So, that doesn’t work in his favor, either.

Once the main characters get their powers, we see them locked up for the next 20 minutes. Enter Act Two, in

D-

which the government wants to experiment with the characters, to the dismay of Franklin Storm.

Fast forward a year, where the Storm siblings are recklessly playing with their powers and the U.S. military is using Ben Grimm as a weapon like the Hulk.

Richards is in a self-imposed exile.

He feels he can’t help his friends circumnavigate their new abilities and the government wanting to use them as the basis for advanced soldiers.

At this point, the movie is three-quarters of the way done, and all the audience has seen is work on the teleportation machine, one failed trip to another dimension, and Richards being brought back into the fray from exile.

Nothing fantastic has occurred yet, and the movie is more than an hour in.

Bear in mind the film has 30 minutes left to establish these so-called heroes as a team, while also bringing in a formidable villain for the heroes to fight in the thrilling and final battle.

It is presumed up to a point that Doom perished while on the first trip to the other dimension. Despite the Read more on page 23

Grant Hardy opens worlds through writing and teaching JASON PERRY

A&F Staff Writer jperry1@unca.edu White walls, a desk, a laptop and a bookshelf. This is where Professor Grant Hardy contently spends his days.

He walks over to the bookshelf and carefully retrieves a worn-out book. It’s seen better days.

Memories flood Hardy’s face.

It was one of the books that saved him on his journey.

He recalls a moment before he owned the book.

“All the signs were in Chinese, there wasn’t any English anywhere,” Hardy says, staring at the book. “It was almost as if I was illiterate. I had no idea, and of course it is Chinese characters, so you can’t sound it out, you can’t look it up in a dictionary.”

Professor Hardy is past that now. He can easily read Chinese characters and speaks Chinese fluently.

Hardy began his freshman year of college at Brigham Young University in Utah, a Mormon university. It’s where Hardy’s life opened up.

“I feel like when I first went to college is when I first felt like my real self,” Hardy says. “The lectures, films, books, journals and classes. That’s my natural self.”

Hardy says he was always the bookish type in high school, even though he did not come from a very academic family.

He often read about culture and history, so when it came time to pick a major, Hardy chose something new.

“First semester of my fresh-

man year I signed up for ancient Greek,” Hardy says excitedly. “Why else would you go to college, unless you can study something like that which was not offered in high school?”

Hardy says he focused on his Mormon faith just as much as he did his schoolwork. He volunteered to go on a Mormon mission after his freshman year, a trip that lasted for two years.

“You don’t choose where you go.You just volunteer and they send you some place,” Hardy says. “I received a letter from Salt Lake City that said, ‘Congratulations, you are going to be learning Mandarin Chinese, and you are going to be spending your next two years in Taiwan.’”

Hardy’s pleasure in life is reading, but he says he was soon in a country where he couldn’t read anything.

“I really didn’t know anything about China before I went,” Hardy says. “You go to a language training institute, so I was there for three months. It was intensive Chinese instruction all day, every day. After three months, they send you.

I knew a little bit of Chinese when I got there. I tried to learn as fast as I could.”

Hardy says he arrived in central Taiwan with strict rules.

He had to stay in a central area,could not watch TV or listen to popular music and could only read church-produced scriptures.

But, there was a loophole.

Hardy’s mission president allowed reading about Chinese culture if it helped him to become a better missionary.

Grant Hardy poses for a photo in his office.

Bingo.

Hardy says he quickly found an address for an English bookstore.

“They had basically pirated editions of English language history of China,” Hardy says.

“I ordered a bunch of those.

Missionaries are supposed to get up at 6:30 every morning, but I would get up even earlier so I would have time to read about Chinese culture.”

Hardy stops gazing at his old book. The title is Sources of Chinese Tradition, but it’s just barely legible. It’s the same

book he purchased at the English bookstore, he says.

Hardy places the book back on his shelf, next to several other books from his trip, including four volumes of Science and Civilization in China along with Five Confucian Classics.

Hardy says his mission was difficult. He did a lot of soul searching, his new knowledge about Chinese culture helping him discover Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism.

Hardy’s discoveries, he says, made him question his Mormon faith.

“I sort of worked things out, and I found things that worked for me,” Hardy says. “I am a believer, but I think it is pretty natural to have doubts and wonder about things.”

Hardy returned from his mission trip a different person.

He went to Yale and got his doctorate in Chinese language and literature. Hardy says he then became a professor.

Hunter Gomes, a former student of Hardy’s, says Hardy’s stories helped him learn.

“He gave a lot of personal stories about what we were Read more on page 23

beat from the Street “Beer Man”, originally from Asheville

“I was born in 1996, back when Highland Brewery first opened its doors.

That was back when the drinking age was embryo.”

And you partook in that, clearly.

“Yes, absolutely. That is why I’ve maintained my svelte figure to this day. It’s a long time of drinking.”

What do you do in terms of profession?

“Well, I travel throughout Asheville and prevent people from making bad beer decisions. I promote local, local only. I just caught a guy drinking a Miller Lite a minute ago and you know what I did? I drank that beer so he wouldn’t have to. I didn’t want to do it. It’s not like he owed it to me.”

How do you get away with openly

By Larisa Karr | Features Editor | lakarr@unca.edu Many stories lurk throughout Asheville, whether they are behind the Vaudevillian jazz-folk played by buskers around Pritchard Park, the colorful businesses decorated with funky, hand-made crats or the laughter echoing from a patio as locals and tourists alike enjoy delicious beer.

drinking on the street?

“Well, this is just a costume. I know the rules. I don’t drink openly. I don’t drink and tell, over-drink, binge drink, or in general, alcoholic behavior. I like to enjoy delicious beer that’s brewed locally here by the gods that are the brewmasters in Asheville, North Carolina.”

What are three words to describe your style?

“Let’s go Kanye West combined with Chris Farley combined with Cher. There you go, drop the mic.”

Who inspires you?

“Good question. Who inspires Beer Man? Well, I guess Duff Man would inspire me, although he’s a little more physically fit. He’s kind of a show-off and I have a chair called the Beermobile 3000 that I use to accentuate my flat-out, dope style. I can do a full 360 and even moonwalk in it. Check it out, pretty impressive stuff.”

When did you realize that you were Beer Man? “Do you know pretty much when you wake up and ask ‘do I want to eat

oatmeal today or something that’s a lot better than oatmeal? Do I want to have a cup of coffee or perhaps some water to hydrate my unnourished body?’ I wake up everyday thinking, ‘I want to have another delicious beer. I’m just going to call myself Beer Man and dress like the part.’ So, that’s basically my daily do’s and don’ts. Always be yourself. Stay in school. ” Is that your personal motto?

“Always be yourself or stay in school?

Because it wasn’t stay in school. I mean, look at me. Come ON! Hahahaha. I definitely didn’t stay in school. But, you know, sometimes our purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others. That’s my motto. Print it.”

What would you say are the best and worst beers in Asheville?

“Oooh, that’s a tough question. Right now, my personal favourite is ‘Perfect Day IPA’ from Asheville Pizza & Brewing. My least favorite beer in Asheville is at this new place that just opened up called Suba Brew. It’s just some guy in the back of his Subaru that brewed up something called ‘Clingman Ave. Co-op’ and it is terrible. I think he used sardine oil in it. I don’t know.”

Olympia Garrett, massage student, originally from Asheville

I’m a reiki practitioner as well.

That’s the biggest thing for me, because I want to educate my people on massage. There’s a stigma that came about during the wars, you know, where the soldiers would go and travel and they would go to the massage parlors. I want to change that. That is still part of the stigma in our culture. Touch is not just erotic, it’s also healthy. It’s natural.

“It will definitely lower blood pressure. Our culture has high hypertension.

It lowers blood pressure. It reduces stress. It relieves the tension in the muscles and it causes all types of healthy benefits. That’s why I’m doing that.”

If you had a personal philosophy, what would it be?

“All is well. No matter what, all is well. Even if it looks like it’s ugly or it’s not going to happen, it’s still okay because everything happens in good time in its own time. All is well.”

How are liking Goombay so far?

“I like it, except for the weather! It’s getting chilly. We’re tropical creatures!”

“I studied Mass Communication at UNC Asheville and we had to write two-to-five page papers every night.

Our instructor was the guy that was the chief editor of the Asheville Citizen Times at that point. That was back in the ‘80s. Now, I’m taking massage therapy. I’m about to graduate and get my license. I’m doing free massages.”

How would you describe your style?

“This all came from a second-hand shop. I just put it together. This was a pair of culottes and I made a scarf with it.”

How would you describe it in three words?

“Southern Afro-chic” Who would you say is an inspiration to you?

“Spiritually, I practice my reiki.

Angela Brown ignites Asheville Symphony’s 2015-16 season

shows is apparent when she speaks of her favorite role, Puccini’s Toaca. Brown uses Twitter-friendly vocabulary such as “boo-thang,” and describes the main character as a “ride-or-die chick.”

“I think it’s really admirable when a singer or conductor tries to reach out to a broader audience, and tries to make it more relatable to a contemporary culture, which I think she does really well,” said Boone.

Brown, who credits classical music with opening her mind, didn’t discover her talent for opera until her college years at Oakwood University. Admitting it was the last genre that she chose to study, she says that the opera chose her.

“I became fearless at a certain point in life,” said Brown, “because we can become stuck in what we think we want to do, and when I tried something different I found that I liked it, and that I was good at it as well.”

Brown’s performance in Asheville is special to the UNCA community, as Chancellor Grant will be attending following her installation.

In honor of this, tickets for Opening Night with Angela Brown are available to UNCA students for $10 when they call the Asheville Symphony office using the code “KUNCA.” “It’s a pretty good deal,” said Alex Bernatzky, junior history student. “I sometimes am able to go to shows with the student rush seats, but this is great because it’s guaranteed.”

KATIE CROOKS

A&F Staff Writer kcrooks@unca.edu Angela Brown answers the phone with a singsong “Helloooo,” the only greeting truly appropriate for an internationally recognized opera star.

Brown will open the 55th season for the Asheville Symphony on Sept. 19. The program for the night will include an eclectic variety of selections, ranging from Puccini to Bernstein’s West Side Story.

“Well, I’ll be doing arias and some musical theater,” Brown said, “and I plan on having a lot of fun with it, a lot of fun with the orchestra.”

An aria, for those not savvy in opera terminology, is a sophisticated melody often sung solo.

Reintroducing opera to the masses is a personal mission of Brown’s. Despite having performed at elite venues, such as the Metropolitan Opera, she repeatedly emphasizes that opera is just story. Brown says she intends to relax audiences and humanize the art form.

Christine Boone, an assistant professor of music at UNCA, agrees with Brown, that opera has a haughty reputation.

“Historically a lot more people went to see operas, and I think nowadays it has a reputation as something old people do, as something that only old, rich people go and do,” Boone said.

To make opera more accessible to today’s concertgoers, Brown produced and created Opera…from a Sistah’s Point of View.

“It’s a show that demystifies opera for audiences that normally wouldn’t go; and I just try to make it palatable,” Brown said, “you know, because opera is seen as such an elitist art form.”

Opera singer Angela Brown is performing in Asheville.

Even outside of Opera… from a Sistah’s Point of View, Brown uses many of her shows as an educational platform, and plans on incorporating these lessons into her performance

with Asheville Symphony.

“It’s just very tongue-incheek and fun, and I try to speak in today’s vernacular, you know?” said Brown. “I don’t dumb down the actual

music, because when I start to sing you know that I’m an opera singer, but I have fun with the storyline.”

Chancellor “Looking at that campus that was tucked away in this little corner of Massachusetts, students all across the state began to see it as their first choice,” Grant said. “That felt really great, beginning to see support from the community, because those are things that sustain a place over a long period of time.”

Grant said she received her doctorate in public affairs from Brandeis University in 2000. In 2002, she returned to her alma mater of MCLA as president during one of the college’s integral periods of growth and improvement. She retained this position until accepting an offer as chancellor from UNCA, according to the press release.

“The educational opportunities I had there, similar to what I see students having here, really set me on a strong foundation and a pathway that said ‘anything can really be possible’,” Grant said. “Don’t ever underestimate what you can do or how you can imagine your own future. Don’t ever let anybody set limits for you.”

Grant was no stranger to UNCA, visiting several times through her work with the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges, of which UNCA is a leader institution with executive offices located on campus, Grant said.

“I was never thinking then that someday maybe I will be chancellor here,” Grant said. “I was really admiring the work of this institution and the individuals who were part of it.”

According to Chancellor Grant, her first semester as leader of the university was a learning experience filled with familiarizing herself with the community and understanding the geography of the state.

“I definitely feel like I have more of a foundation under me than when I arrived back in January,” she said.

Grant said she hopes to strengthen the relationship between the school and the community during her time as chan-

cellor.

“One of the things that struck me so much is we are in this great city, and if you are downtown, sometimes you don’t know there is a great university right up the street,” Grant said.

Plans to meet with university officials, faculty, staff and students this school year are next on Grant’s itinerary to create a master plan and strategy map for the next few years at the university.

“This is an institution with a strong foundation,” Grant said.

“The work we all have to do ahead of us is to build on that strong foundation and to make sure we are also understanding the change in landscape of higher education.”

Although UNCA and the city of Asheville have welcomed Grant with open arms, she still misses her family, friends and the Red Sox the most.

“This may sound nutty, but I miss some of those really good, snowy days that you get in Massachusetts and in New England,” Grant said.

Jim Canavan, Grants’ husband, and their dog, Sweeney, accompanied her for the relocation.The couple lives on campus in the Brumit Pisgah House and celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary Sept. 12.

Sweeney is an Australian labradoodle mix bred for therapy and companion work, Grant said.

“He is very intuitive, gentle and is just a real sweet dog,” Grant said. “He would like to think he rules the house. He’s a pretty social guy and is good comic relief.”

The chancellor said she has noticed an existing relationship between students, faculty and alumni at the university.

“It is very encouraging because that means we have a great foundation. In my short time here, I have seen our faculty, our staff and our students out there in the community in a number of different ways, from artists, theatre, music, to students doing volunteer work,

civic engagement, to our faculty doing work in the k-12 system or community organizations,” Grant said. “That feels really empowering and feels like the right place for us to be going.”

History student Liz Torres said she recognizes Chancellor Grant’s frequent presence at campus events.

“She is always offering to come to different events and she is putting a real emphasis on diversifying campus as well as connecting us with the community and making it feel like a college town kind of atmosphere,” Torres said.

Julian Gonzalez, UNCA theater student, said he admired Grant’s involvement with students, characterized by her attempt Monday to break the record for biggest selfie.

“I think the way she did the selfie showed she is trying to be relatable to us as students,” Gonzalez said.

Theater majors constructed the podium that will be used by Grant and fellow speakers at the installation ceremony Saturday,

according to Gonzalez. He will represent Everyday People Imitating Christ during the event.

The university is currently hosting a week-long celebration this week to commemorate the chancellor’s installation on Saturday, coinciding with family weekend.

Feeling overwhelmed yet humbled by the recognition, Grant said this week is not solely about her, but more about the university coming together.

“I am sure it will be emotional, because this community has put a lot of energy into it and I deeply appreciate it,” Grant said. “I am one part of it. The rest of the week is about this university, to be able to say this is who we are, this is where we’ve been, and this is where we’re going.”

The installation ceremony begins at 10 a.m. Saturday with Les Purce, president of The Evergreen State College, delivering the installation address, Luke Bukowski, director of communication and marketing and co-chair of the Installation

Logistics Committee said. A picnic on the quad will immediately follow.

“The choice of week was very intentional as it places the installation celebration within the context of both Founders Day and family weekend, both very important dates for UNC Asheville,” Bukowski said. “The goal was to include a variety of events to really showcase the wonderful work of UNC Asheville’s faculty, staff, students, and alumni and to celebrate this next chapter in the university’s story.”

Grant said she is happy overall with her life-altering decision, relocating her life 14 hours from Massachusetts to North Carolina.

“I feel more like a local because I no longer have to use my GPS all the time. I know where I am driving most days,” Grant said. “This feels like a good place I can call home.

Every corner you turn around, there’s a really cool place to go and explore.”

OPINION

An eighth-grader haunts my head at night ROAN FARB

Opinion Staff Writer rfarb@unca.edu

There has never been a time in my life that I felt more stranded, alone, and helpless than the first time I experienced depression.

Truth be told, I feel partially obligated to preface this article with saying that many, if not most young people experience depression for the first time at some point in their teens, and my childhood did not skip that hurdle.

Halfway through eighth grade, my parents decided to relocate us from the slowly decaying urban area of Cresskill, New Jersey, to the thriving and beautiful nature surroundings of Waxhaw, North Carolina.

You could successfully make the argument that I wasn’t exactly the easiest 13-year-old to introduce to a strange and unfamiliar social climate, especially in the society-constructed arena that is junior high.

I was sort of an odd looking “tween,” even by 2008’s standards.

By eighth grade, I weighed about 185 pounds. I hated being the fattest kid in

every room I walked into.

My hairstyle was a puffy (and goofy) bowl cut that nearly covered my eyes, I would only wear baggy green jeans from Aeropostale, and my favorite shoes were a pair of horrendously bright neon-rainbow DC skating sneakers.

When I started at my new school, Weddington Middle School, I really struggled to make friends.

Kids weren’t too friendly at my middle school.

They threw chicken nuggets in the cafeteria.

The boys laughed when I changed during gym class.

I got invited to and repeatedly kicked out of Xbox parties with kids from class all semester.

The teacher insisted I intrude on someone’s friend circle for every group project that year. It got to the point where I didn’t even feel like I was human, more like some creature walking down the halls.

I would fake being sick as often as my parents would allow, which just became a tug-of-war between who would give up first that day.

I’d love to tell you that things improved for me as my

time in Weddington Middle School continued, but they did nothing of the sort.

I cried almost every time I got home from school. All I had to draw joy from was online video games with the friends I’d left in New Jersey.

They became my everything from the time I failed to forge a friendship in eighth grade through nearly my entire freshman year of high school, and that became very toxic to the way I viewed my present social situation.

I continued to become more and more isolated from reality, and more inclined to spend time online with friends I already had.

I handled moving quite poorly. I didn’t make a real friend until nearly the end of ninth grade, and that really set back the way I perceived my own identity.

To this very day, ideas and insults I’ve planted in my own mind from those days have, at times, held me back from even the things I spent years wanting.

Insecurity has grasped me like a dog on a leash for nearly six years now, just based on a spot of depression I experi-

enced when I was a kid.

That can’t even begin to illustrate just how big an issue depression is for our generation.

National suicide prevention week just passed and I wanted to write an article about how to deal with feeling alone, helpless, sad, or just plain frustrated or angry in a healthier way than I did.

There is quite a pile of things I did wrong when I was experiencing depression for the first time.

To begin with, I refused all help from guidance counselors.

It felt far more comfortable to be alone with the issues I was facing than it did to vocalize them.

I didn’t tell my parents what was going on in school. I was scared to tell my father I was being bullied by kids half my size.

I was embarrassed at my own social incompetence. The longer I went without making friends, the more pathetic and incapable I considered Roan Thomas Farb.

I blamed myself for being teased, for not being able to recover, and for putting up with being bullied.

In an ironic twist, I wound up becoming one of my biggest bullies in the process.

What all this wound up doing was isolating me in nearly every sense, leaving me with one saving grace, a virtual reality with the only friendly voices I’d heard in months.

I think it’s important to talk about your life with people.

I think the thing that has helped me become a brave and confident person most is pouring my heart out to my friends.

And so I am going to conclude by begging and pleading for you to take this instruction: Please don’t be scared to talk about what you’re struggling with, no matter how hard to relate to you think it is, no matter how weird your situation seems. Please talk to your friends, talk to your parents, talk to strangers on the bus and people around campus about what you’re going through.

Don’t convince yourself that your mental health, your issues, things you get sad about at 3 a.m. are stupid.

Don’t ever tell yourself you don’t matter, because that’s the worst way you could waste your time on this earth.

Freddy’s never dead, neither is his creator

By Matt McGregor, A&F Staff Writer

mmcgrego@unca.edu Three guys stand around trying to remember the titles of Wes Craven movies. This melancholy scene is a grieving process that has occurred in cinemaphile DVD rental stores throughout the nation since Wes Craven died on August 30.

Matt Evans, Josh Hodgen and I lean against the checkout counter of Orbit DVD in West Asheville in silence as they pull movie titles from memory.

Josh snaps his fingers and convulses a little.

“The Serpent and the Rainbow!” he yells.

Yes. How could they forget The Serpent and the Rainbow? Bill Pullman. Based on nonfictional research into Haitian zombification.

“Swamp Thing,” Evans announces as if he were betting on an unfortunately named horse.

Clearly, they are challenging themselves to remember movies between the spectrum of his most obvious and best movie, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and the worst, A Vampire in Brooklyn, starring Eddie Murphy speaking in an accent I still haven’t placed to this day.

Sometimes, though, it keeps me up at night wondering, “What was he thinking? For what dialect was he striving?” Hence, the tossing and turning.

“I loved Scream when it came out. The Hills Have Eyes is good. The Last House on the Left is good but it is super rapey,” Evans says thoughtfully. “I appreciate the fact that he liked to push the envelope a little bit.”

A few more titles emerge. Evans describes his favorite scene in the catalogue of Wes Craven movies from the movie Deadly Friend.

“The evil mom from the The Goonies is in it. There is a dispute that happens, then a robot guy picks up a basketball and throws it at her head and her head explodes and blood goes everywhere. That’s pretty much awesome,” Evans recalls fondly.

Eventually, the group of men, while not solving the world’s problems but still being more productive than Congress, have to face the inevitable Nightmare on Elm Street, a movie that toyed with the viewer’s mind like a cat pawing at a terrified mouse.

The cinematic masterpiece did not just blur but completely remove the boundaries between reality and fantasy, leaving no safe place to retreat.

I first saw A Nightmare on Elm Street when I was 11, which may explain a lot of things that do not pertain to this article.

Aside from wanting to sleep in my parents bed for the next year, the movie stimulated my imagination in more healthy ways than unhealthy, contrary to studies suggesting violent movies corrupt children.

I, a frightened 11-year-old, was ingrained with a persistent interrogation into the nature of fear and reality. But I also lived in a large, two-story house deep in the woods, so the interrogation of reality really wasn’t helpful in any philosophical sense at the time.

Wes Craven asks his audience two questions with

Orbit DVD creates a display for the recent passing of Wes Craven.

A Nightmare on Elm Street: what is reality, and what is fear? The first question he leaves rhetorical. But he had answered the second question in the original ending, before New Line Cinema re-edited it for a sequel.

In the final act, Nancy, the protagonist, realizes her own fear gives Freddy Krueger, the antagonist, his power. Without her fear and the fear of others, he is powerless.

“What the original ending of A Nightmare on Elm Street means, symbolically, with Nancy turning her back on Freddy, is, ‘I won’t participate in fear,’ the fear the Freddy instills, and that I think is a very satisfying ending,” states Robert Englund in the documentary on the Nightmare franchise Never Sleep Again.

Jack Sholder, professor in the School of Stage and Screen and director of the Film and Television Production Program at Western Carolina University, directed A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge.

When Sholder first met Wes Craven, he was upside down.

“He was shooting the scene where Amanda is killed and the set ceiling was on the floor,” Jack recollects.

Jack says Wes originally planned on directing the sequel, but backed out because he did not like the script.

“I took over having little idea how to shoot the 162 special effects the script called for and was rather panicked by the enormity of the task ahead,” Sholder says.

“Like almost all movies, it got finished, and it went on to make enough money, so I could continue directing films for the next 20 years.”

Sholder says Wes disliked Freddy’s Revenge, but he was still nice to him and offered his advice.

“You’d think, with his professional air and quiet voice, that he was an unlikely maker of horror films.

But unlike a lot of young directors who made a way of breaking in, horror films were very much a part of Wes’ psyche,” Sholder says. “It’s still hard to think he’s not around. He was a gentleman and a scholar.

And a memorable filmmaker.”

Christopher Oakley, assistant professor of new media at UNC Asheville, says Craven’s genius cannot be overstated.

“He reinvented the horror genre with A Nightmare on Elm Street and then reinvented it again with Scream,” Oakley says. “It’s rare for any filmmaker to get to reinvent something twice.”

Craven reinvented A Nightmare on Elm Street with A New Nightmare in 1994. A New Nightmare is a meta-nightmare, a movie about the actors of A Nightmare on Elm Street, including Wes Craven. Haunted

Thumbtack business is doing a couple hundred thousand a year, a couple thousand dollars gets lost in that.”

Seymour previously lived and worked in Charlotte, which received a B- on the survey. This difference in score may be a matter of perception, because different businesses are attracted to different cities, said Seymour.

“If you’re founding a brick-and-mortar business that you expect to grow fairly quickly over time, you’ll make a large upfront investment, then Charlotte’s easier. If you’re talking about a shoestring business that you’re going to start with a small investment and live off of the income from, Asheville’s easier,” Seymour said. “We walk down the street in Asheville or even downtown Henderson and we don’t expect to see businesses with a chain name, in Charlotte people expect the chains.”

Although Charlotte is larger than Asheville, Seymour says Asheville has a more diverse consumer base that makes it hard for a small business to have mass appeal. A business that appeals to the traditional agricultural base, or an artsy base, might struggle to draw customers from another base.

Graphic designer David Lynch worked in Asheville for nearly 18 years. He said he thought Asheville’s diversity is part of what gives the city its character. He said it recently seems to be trending towards higher-end customers and tourism. He said he recommends pushing against the state government.

According to the Asheville government website, the city is no longer able to levy the privilege license tax, or the tax on business licenses. This went into effect July 1, and the only exception is beer and wine

taxes. Lynch said he does not like the loss of revenue for the city.

“They are neutering the power of municipal government and that’s the sort of power that keeps Asheville local. I’m seeing that change,” Lynch said, “and I’m afraid Asheville is going to lose its local flavor and become another stain on the map on the United States of Generica if we’re not careful.”

Lynch recommends that, in order to maintain the small business atmosphere in Asheville, businesses need to do research, get connected, find local resources and networking opportunities. Asheville received a B grade on the Thumbtack survey for its training and networking opportunities.

Ridgely said she used Mountain Bizworks and Business Networking International.

These organizations exist to help coach and grow small businesses. Seymour recommends resources and job training provided by Goodwill and SCORE, the Service Corps of Retired Executives. He said he is planning to partner with Bill Gilliland of ActionCOACH to provide coaching for small businesses and wishes there were an easier way for Asheville business owners to find this information.

“You look through meet-ups and you find a few of those, you do Google searches and you find a few of those, but unless someone shows what’s available most businesses have no way to compare them,” Seymour said.

“In my ideal world I would be able to type in ‘business networking meeting in Asheville’ and get a listing that would have some reviews and some description. That kind of layout would help small business owners find those groups.”

Ridgely said she would like to see more services to help find

and hire qualified employees.

“There’s Craigslist and Headhunters, but it all costs a lot of money and is not affordable for a small business. They want $1,000 for an employee and I can’t afford to do that. I tried the unemployment office and that was really no great help at all. They wouldn’t even post my ad,” Ridgely said. “If there was a system to find employees who matched with me that would be phenomenal. There’s equipment you’ve got to know and the right cleaners for the right job and you have to be detailed.”

Lieber said the survey found that cities with good networking and training often receive a higher score, whereas cities with many regulations receive lower scores. The survey’s goal is to find what is most important to small business and improve their local environments.

“Entrepreneurship is an important outlet not just because all fast growing businesses are the ones creating those jobs and providing promise for the future, but because the kind of micro-entrepreneurship that happens on Thumbtack really gives people alternatives. It gives them the chance to be independent, to work for themselves, to build a business on their own and to serve their community by sharing their skill.”

Despite Asheville’s below-average score, Ridgely said she finds the city to be no less friendly than other places she lived.

“People are saying ‘it’s hard, it’s hard.’ I’m not that kind of person. Don’t just sit around worrying and crying. You have to want to do it, you have to have drive,” Ridgely said. “If I work for someone else the levels of skill and creativity I have doesn’t get utilized. I can say I’m not scared sometimes, but I let the adrenaline of the fear push me forward rather than get me down.”

Todd said the renovated facility includes a new equipment room, locker room, break room, officer workspace, dispatcher break room, handicap bathroom and telecommunications office. The renovations costed around $380,000.

“We gave it what we would call kind of a facelift,” Todd said.

According to Boyce, Weizenblatt is a huge improvement compared to Vance Hall. He said it allowed them to almost double in square footage.

“We’ve received positive reactions from the community,” Boyce said. “We’re excited to be here.”

Four divisions now work from Weizenblatt, including the university police, environmental health and safety, parking and transportation and emergency services, Boyce said.

“This move has enabled us to work out of the same office space,” Boyce said.

The unoccupied, Vance Hall building will undergo some minor renovations in the summer, Todd said. Renovations include new carpet and paint and may include relocating a couple of walls.

“Anytime we do a renovation like this, we work with the department and help them program the space, which is kinda deciding how you’re gonna use

the space, what your different needs and uses are and then we handle all the contracting and financial aspects of the project,” Todd said.

IT services will occupy Vance Hall upon completion of renovations in August 2016, Todd said.

Until renovations start, mechatronics students plan to use Vance Hall this semester and next as a project workspace, Todd said.

According to Todd, the move had many benefits and was a good thing for campus police.

It also allowed Health Services and alumni development to expand and opened more space for IT. “I definitely think it’s been an improvement because now with that location being there they have their own designated parking lot area. It’s also a little bit more secluded,” said Anna Emslie, a sophomore political science student from Carrboro.

Emslie works on campus as a resident assistant and said she is glad to have the police on campus.

“One of my residents came back really late and she was able to call and get someone to escort her back to campus,” Emslie said. “Little things like that really can make a difference for someone and make them feel a lot safer.”

director at UNCA, said he believes taking this image at face value could come at a price for students in particular.

“One question I ask students is, ‘Why UNCA? Why here?’ and most students say things like, ‘Well, it’s Asheville,’" Plumb said. “There’s this loaded element about what Asheville brings. I try to get on that level and ask, ‘What is it?

Is it the art, the food, the beer?’

And they say, ‘Aw, no, it’s Asheville. You gotta be here.’”

Again, with the grace of a walrus, I got back on the board and completed the session. My stomach was red from the friction of getting back up and my muscles were sore, but I felt a sense of accomplishment. I floated in the pool afterward and reflected on the experience.

Fear was getting me nowhere. Getting onto that board was a symbolic step

into joining in, including myself in an activity and forgetting any differences that I had used as an excuse in the past.

Two days later, I tried a “Fit in Five” class, jumping rope and doing bicep curls. I was physically exhausted, but my brain was invigorated. I look forward to visiting the rec center more often this semester and stretching beyond my comfort zone.

After all, isn’t that what the college experience is all about?

Fantastic Four dangerous, fatal first trip, the government decides to send a team of their men back to the dimension to discover something useful.

This is when Doom comes back into play, using inexplicable new powers and a new cape he somehow found to decimate the crew that brought him back to Earth.

Doom is evil and he does evil things, therefore, he’s the new villain of the film. His plan is to recreate the world in the new dimension by bringing everything through the teleportation machine. Also, the name Doom spells out certain doom for anyone in the character’s path.

The team, who the government now somehow trusts, follows Doom back to the second dimension to fight him.

This fight scene lasts all of five minutes, as Doom is sent flying into the teleporter and disintegrated by the new team of heroes.

Oh, and the team of new heroes now has the audacity to call themselves the Fantastic Four after being apart for 95 percent of the movie, not discovering their powers until halfway into the film and only coming together for a few minutes in the finale to fight their foe.

guts to pull an Avengers: Age of Ultron move, pulling the rug from underneath the audience by simply throwing the title card on the screen at the end when Richards wanted to establish the team’s name.

Director Josh Trank sent out a tweet on August 7, the day of the U.S. release, apologizing to audience members for a mess he didn’t want to have his name attached to.

From that point, rumors flew over whose fault it is for this film turning out as badly as it did. Trank’s previous film, Chronicle, was well-received when it was released in 2012 and currently holds an 85 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

This led people to believe Twentieth Century Fox had

the audacity to allegedly turn Trank’s film into the final product by editing and splicing the film to their liking. At one point, Trank was allegedly kicked out of the editing room by the studio heads and an article published by JoBlo Movie News outlined 12 scenes not included in the film but in the trailers.

As Trank tweeted on opening day, fans may never see the director’s cut for this year’s Fantastic Four anytime soon.

The film had a lot of potential, setting itself apart from the two predecessors in 2005 and 2007 by taking a darker tone similar to DC Comics’ The Dark Knight or Man of Steel.

Despite disappointment, the film studio currently has plans to release a sequel to this

colorful disaster in 2017. They are apparently not ready to relinquish the rights to the Fantastic Four to Marvel Studios like Sony did with Spider-Man in February.

Trank will likely not return and it is unknown if any of the actors from the first will sign on for a second coming.

With such a sour taste left in my mouth, it’s doubtful this superhero team will become fantastic any time soon.

My final thoughts on this film entail completely skipping it or watching it on a rainy Sunday afternoon, if it’s on cable. I want nothing more than to forget the 90 minutes I spent watching it to write this review.

school, and is one of the foremost scholars on the history of Mormonism.”

Hardy also writes books.

Books can open up someone’s world, and Hardy says he wanted to be a part of that.

“There is a satisfaction of increasing the amount of knowledge in the world by a tiny bit,” Hardy says.

Hardy picks up one of his first

publications, a book about Chinese historian Sima Qian, and quotes him. “‘I have placed one copy into a famous mountain and the other in the capital where they should await the sages and scholars of later ages,’” Hardy says.

Hardy says he relates to this passage on a personal level.

“He put everything he had

into this book hoping someday someone would understand him and would appreciate what he did,” Hardy says. “I could be that guy.”

Hardy puts his book back onto the shelf, and says he plans to write many more.

The staff of Orbit DVD has since set up a display of Wes Craven’s movies in his honor.

“He was the man for making an idea happen, and then there would be 400 clones of that idea,” Evans praises.

As Hodgens gazes downward, a eulogy manifests itself in between movie titles.

“He’s an icon. His career was amazing,” Josh laments.

A moment of silence.

“Shocker!” Evans interrupts.

They all nod.

“Shocker. Yes!” I yell with maybe too much excitement for a movie I couldn’t even remember at first. “It’s about the serial killer who gets the

electric chair and comes back in the form of electricity and possesses people. Brilliant!

How did that not win all of the Academy Awards?”

When discussing Wes Craven, this could continue for hours.
