Amy Lemco, Arts & Life Writer ABINGDON, Va.—While recovering from the shock that Barter’s Shrek (despite a fire-breathing dragon) did not sell enough tickets to breakeven at the box office, I resolved to see as many shows as possible this season. Supporting local business and art is too important, to Appalachia in particular, to ignore.
Madison Brown, Arts & Life Writer For the Lumineers third studio album III, we are taken down a bit of a folky, nostalgic highway. Not only do they pull lyrics from their most popular singles and sprinkle them throughout certain songs on the album, you almost feel at ease with the homey tunes in each track. The album starts with a soft piano ballad rolling into the first track “Donna,” my personal favorite.
Justin Hartsell, Editor Emory & Henry College is a 183 year-old institution that has found its way into the hearts of current students and alumni, but has also been a place of heartache and criticism for others on campus. So how can it be that this same institution is the center of such a wide variety of emotion amongst individuals? Emory & Henry, like any establishment, institution or organization, is not perfect because—well—humans are not perfect beings. However, the college has so many good things to offer for students that it really becomes a matter of choosing to look at what all being here provides for those who choose to come here.
Melody Lipford, Columnist As we enter the month of April with rain and the time when nature starts to bloom, there comes a sense of growth and renewal. Especially around campus, students may start to see the grass grow greener, easter lilies bud, the leaves start to refill trees barren from the winter, and birds emerge in a new song with the returning warmth after a cold season. Beyond these physical attributes, the same sense of growth and renewal can go beyond nature itself and exist in the nature of students on campus.
Doesn't fly as high as I'd likeAmy Lemco, Arts & Life Editor After “The Nutcracker,” Disney was on my not-to-be-trusted list. But when I read that Tim Burton was collaborating on the live-action rendition of “Dumbo,” I was excited and hopeful. To be fair—aesthetically—I have no complaints. The film was wonder visually, exactly what movie-goers expect of Burton.
Alette McGuire, Columnist ¿Te gusta la comida, las lecciones de baile, el arte y la música en vivo? Entonces sal el 12 de abril de 2019 porque el centro de lenguas y culturas de la East Tennessee State University (ETSU) tiene el décimo festival anual de Corazón Latino. Este evento se está celebrando en el Founders Park en Johnson City, Tennessee.
Christina Mitchell, Business Manager Get ready to put on some jazz music and go swing dancing because Marvel’s “Agent Carter” is just like taking a step back in time—except, obviously, a little more fictional. This show centers around none other than Agent Peggy Carter. She was first seen during “Captain America: The First Avenger” when she was Captain Rogers’ love interest. This show focuses on her after the war when she is working for the SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve) in New York City.
Breaking down the mountain of final assignmentsMelody Lipford, Columnist As students approach the final few weeks of classes, there tends to be a sense of overwhelm that overtake the campus as deadlines seem to come all at once for assignments within a short time period. Students see the finish line and are excited, but at the same time may become consumed with anxious thoughts concerning the final tasks that lie ahead.
Isabella McCall, Columnist There is a delicacy here in the South that is free and available to anyone. This vegetable cannot be purchased from a grocery store, but it can be picked from most any backyard, bartered from a friend or neighbor or ordered from a remote Internet site. A wild green that grows abundantly throughout the United States, “pokeweed”, is especially plentiful in Appalachia—a cultural region that follows the Appalachian Mountains from southern New York State to north-eastern Mississippi, as well as the rest of the American South.
