Upper Valley Takes Action
Against Global Warming
By Warren Johnston
Valley News Staff Writer
More than a dozen Upper Valley groups are joining an effort tomorrow
to raise awareness and energize millions of people worldwide in the
fight against global warming.
Upper Valley residents are joining others in all 50 states and 188
countries across the globe for work party events with activities
ranging from planting trees and raspberries, fixing bicycles, saving
energy, weatherizing houses and more. And there will be an equal
emphasis on the “party” as well as the “work” to get people actively
involved in preventing global warming, said Barbara Duncan, who heads
the Catamount Earth Institute, a community environmental action and
educational group.
“This is inspired by (author) Bill McKibben's 350 organization that is
designed to get people out doing something about climate change,
rather than just going to a rally in Washington, D.C.,” Duncan said.
Earlier this week, 6,848 events had been planned globally, and the
number was growing, according to the website 350.org.
Today, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Sharon will be holding a farmers market
and planting trees on the grounds of Sharon Elementary School. There
also will be weeding, mulching, the building of a solar oven for
classroom use and writing postcards to elected officials seeking
action on global warning.
Here's some of what is going on tomorrow in the Upper Valley:
* As part of its eighth annual Pumpkin Festival, Cedar Circle Farm in
Thetford will hold a “bike-in” that includes bike check-ups and simple
repairs.
There also will be demonstrations of a bicycle-powered bean thrasher
and winter vegetable storage, as well as tours of the farm and of a
waste-recovery station.
There's free admission to the festival if you bike, walk or take The
White River Flyer train from White River Junction to the farm. The
event is from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call 802-785-4737.
* Tunbridge is celebrating the Global Workday with events beginning at
1 p.m. and ending with a concert featuring Sarah Lee Guthrie and
Johnny Irion to benefit the Tunbridge Community Sustainability Fund.
From 1 to 3 p.m., there's a working tour of the town forest to
eradicate invasive species.
The Grease Van (powered by waste vegetable oil) will take attendees
from 3 to 5 p.m. to area sites and residences that are actively using
or planning to use such renewable power as solar, wind, microhydro
power and others. A sustainability panel discussion and potluck dinner
will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The concert begins at 7:30. All the
events are held at the Town Hall and are free except the concert,
which is $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Call 802-431-3433.
* At noon, Transition Town Hartland is sponsoring a bike clinic, an
art show called Que Sera Hartland? at the Hartland Library, a wood-
fired pizza oven, a one-day 350-points meditation wheel and the
planting of 350 daffodils at the library. There's no admission charge.
Call 802-738-0255.
* “The Raspberry Revolution” is taking place in White River Junction.
The event includes raspberry planting on South and North Main streets
from 1 to 5 p.m.; a community-wide celebration at Lyman Point Park
from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., with music, food, presentations and games and
from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m., the Revolution Fashion Show at the Tip Top
Café.
* VINS Nature Center in Quechee is holding a tree planting at 2:20 p.m.
* Smooth Power, an event from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the green in
Woodstock, will include interactive activities for all ages to help
raise awareness and collaboration and engage people to work together
while having fun.
* COVER is sponsoring a home repair workday to help needy homeowners
in the Claremont area from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Lunch, materials, safety
gear and tools are provided. No prior experience is required. Call
802-296-7241, ext. 104.
* The Thetford Energy Committee is sponsoring a day-long event to
complete 350 energy saving activities. The purpose of the project is
to teach children basic energy efficiency and resource-saving
activities that can save energy at home and reduce carbon emissions.
* The Lyme Energy Committee is holding an expo on the town green from
9 a.m. to 2 p.m. recognizing energy savings realized by using local
businesses and working from home.
* There are free discussions, workshops and demonstrations titled
“Creating a Green Community: How Do We Do It?” at the White River
Craft Center at the end of Randolph Avenue in Randolph from 10 a.m. to
2 p.m. The demonstrations include how to make an energy efficient
window quilt and how to make a spindle from used CDs to spin yarn,
among others.

Nearly 1,000 Students to Participate in WSSU Commencement on May 15
WINSTON-SALEM, NC -- Christina Wareâs story is one of the many inspiring testimonials of the nearly 1,000 undergraduate and graduate students from near and afar who are expected to participate in Winston-Salem State Universityâs commencement ceremony on Friday, May 15, at 9:45 a.m., at Bowman Gray Stadium, 1250 South Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive.
Academy Award-winning recording artist, activist and actor Common will be the keynote speaker. There are no guest limits or ticket requirements for the ceremony.
It is conceivable that Wareâs story of work ethic, undeniable spirit and enthusiasm encapsulates the sentiment of her graduating 2015 classmates.
Ware, 43, of Winston-Salem, is quite active on and off campus as a mentor to other students, a member of the non-traditional student organization, the first president of Epsilon Chapter 130 of Tau Sigma National Honor Society at WSSU, a wife and proud mother of two. She is also legally blind. She wants to blaze trails, set examples and raise the bar for others with disabilities.
âIn 2007, I lost my eyesight. After a six-month pity party, I decided to continue my education and make a difference for others. Since 2008, I have spent every day of my life proving to society that having a disability does not mean we are weak. I am now an advocate for persons with disabilities,â Ware, a business major, said, "We are not handicapped, we are handy capable!"
Ware, who can be described as always pleasant and having an unlimited enthusiasm for life, says every day alive is like Christmas. She demands to be treated like everyone else and has been noted to say, âI may physically fall, but mentally I can get back up and pull a 4.0 semester.â After graduation she wants to start a Kosher/Halal foods business and become active on community boards.
The China Connection
From the City of Harbin, the capital and largest city of the Heilongjiang province of the People's Republic of China, WSSU Master of Arts in the Teaching of English as a Second Language and Applied Linguistics students Yaowen Xing and Chunling Zhang have found a second home at WSSU and in Winston-Salem. They perhaps have come the farthest distance attend the university.
With a population of more than five million people, Harbin is situated in the northeast region of China so close to Russia that only the Songhua River separates the two countries. Nicknamed the Ice City, the average winter temperature is -3.5 °F with annual lows hitting -31.0 °F. Itâs no wonder the students say the warmer weather here in the Piedmont Triad has not been lost in translation with them and itâs one of the things they enjoy.
âWe really love the weather in North Carolina, especially the long summer time, since our hometown is so cold with snow for almost 6 months of the year,â Xing, 30, noted. âWe also love the people at WSSU and the faculty who all are nice and it has been a really good experience.â
Xing and Zhang, 35, are in America as part of a Chinese education immersion program to help exchange the cultures between China and America. They enjoy working as cultural ambassadors to students in both the cultures. The two came to the U.S. in 2013 and have been teaching at Konnoak Elementary school during the early hours and studying and researching later in the day. âComing to America was a dream for me after learning about it through books, movies and music, and my time here it has been amazing,â Xing said.
Zhang, said she didnât know much about WSSU or Historically Black Colleges or Universities (HBCUâs), but after a short time here she knew WSSU would be was special part of life. âI have met many African- Americans who have been friendly and helpful. I now can say I truly have many black friends,â Zhang said. She and Xing have taken advantage of the HBCU experience. They have been often seen attending evening lectures and presentations, sports events, musical and visual arts events. With their WSSU master degrees they will return to China one day in the future to make an impact on teaching and the quality of education there.
The All-In Approach
Olivia N. Sedwick, 21, a political science major from Indianapolis, has taken âthe all-in approach" to her WSSU experience. The current WSSU student government president (SGA), honorâs student and champion athlete, chose WSSU over other schools she could have attended.
Featured in a USA Today article highlighting the HBCU experience released last June, Sedwick is quoted as saying about WSSU, âI fell in love with the school.â She says, âWe talked about things that I had never had the chance to before coming from a predominantly white high school.â
Liking the intellectual and social environment, she was comfortable becoming involved around campus. In her first year, a walk-on athlete for the womenâs track and field team, she was a 2013 CIAA Indoor Womenâs Track and Field All-Conference competitor and the WSSU womenâs shot put record holder until earlier this year, although she never competed in the throws until coming to college. In her second year she served as the sophomore class vice president while also being appointed to serve on many committees throughout the university. In that same year, she was a delegate to the UNC Association of Student Governments (UNCASG), representing WSSU students on a state-wide level. At the end of that year, she became the first African-American female elected senior vice president of UNCASG and served in that capacity for the entirety of her third year while being active as the chief of staff for the WSSU student government association that year also. Toward the end of her term in UNCASG, she decided to run for student body president and has served as the voice of the students for the duration of her last year. With all of her activities, she has maintained a 3.95 GPA throughout her time in college.
Sedwick has been selected as a UNC General Administration Presidential Intern, which begins in July. Upon completion of the prestigious one-year appointment, Sedwick plans to attend Howard University School of Law.
A Drum Major who will March for a Noble Cause
Willie Davis, 22, a social work major from Fayetteville, N.C., who has led WSSUâs Red Sea of Sound Marching Band as a drum major for his senior year, will now march to lead the charge for helping veterans and their families cope with typical and unique challenges of serving in military. Davis will be one of four Cadets with the distinct honor of being commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant U.S. in the U.S. Army during this yearâs commencement ceremony. Despite that professionally Davis will help vets, military and families with things like dealing with emotions, he said, âI donât think I will be ready for the commissioning part (of commencement) emotionally.â
Readiness for Davis is an understatement. The youngest of three siblings, who was age 10 when his father died, Davis has been an A average student throughout life. He was in the top ten of his high school class and the first generation in his family to attend college. At WSSU, besides maintaining high academic achievement and serving in the U.S. Army ROTC, Davis has been active with the WSSU Band, the University Choir, a Campus Ambassador, a mentor to freshmen students, vice president of the WSSU chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi National Honorary Band Fraternity, a Veterans Helping Veterans Heal intern and a member of Galilee Missionary Baptist Church in Winston-Salem.
After graduation, Davis is going to graduate school at the University of South Carolina. He plans to complete that program in one year and begin his military duties. As a clinical social worker, his responsibilities may range from clinical counseling, crisis intervention, disaster relief, critical event debriefing, teaching and training, supervision, research, administration, consultation and policy development in various military settings. He wants to specialize in helping military veterans who suffer from different traumas such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), paranoid schizophrenia and other conditions.
