SUMMARY:Sgt. Splendor
DESCRIPTION:Eric McFadden and Kate Vargas join forces for an intoxicating night of alt-funk\, desert rock\, and dirty blues\, May 15 at The Grey Eagle.  \nBefore teaming up\, the duo behind Sgt. Splendor were already formidable solo artists\, Kate Vargas chalking up acclaim at outlets like NPR\, SPIN\, and Vice (including praise from the “Dean of American Rock Critics” Robert Christgau); and Eric McFadden amassing an impressive resume including stints on guitar with George Clinton & the P-Funk All Stars\, Fishbone’s Angelo Moore\, and Eric Burdon & The Animals\, plus a slew of solo albums\, and session work with everyone from Jackson Browne to The Clash’s Joe Strummer. \nSgt. Splendor’s intoxicating chemistry has its roots not just in enduring friendships\, but also in the love and connection of its creative partners\, Vargas and McFadden. After circling each other’s orbits for a time\, they finally met at a songwriting retreat hosted by Pat MacDonald (of Timbuk 3 / “Future’s So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades” fame) in Sturgeon Bay\, WI\, initially bonding over yet another parallel\, a New Mexico upbringing. Their Southwestern roots come through with Sgt. Splendor—combining mysterioso desert and carnivalesque Waits-ian vibe.

SUMMARY:Hemlock Treatment Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:The Hemlock Restoration Initiative (HRI) is hosting a demonstration of chemical treatment methods to control the invasive hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA) on Thursday\, May 16th from 9am to 12pm at the Old Fort Picnic Area in Pisgah National Forest\, located at 2415 State Rd 1400\, Old Fort\, NC 28762. \nHemlock trees in western North Carolina are an important and irreplaceable component of our forests. These trees have been suffering for over two decades from hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA)\, an invasive insect that can kill the tree in as little as four years. \nHowever\, hemlock management is simpler and less expensive than ever before. This hands-off demonstration will be useful for landowners\, natural resource managers and tree care professionals. We will use the trees on-site to practice assessing hemlock health to determine the best treatment options\, and HRI staff will demonstrate the HWA chemical treatment methods used on national forest and state lands. These methods are available to all private landowners in North Carolina without obtaining a license or certification. We will also discuss applicator and environmental safety\, special considerations and guidance for hiring a tree care professional.

SUMMARY:Comedy at Catawba: Harrison Tweed
DESCRIPTION:Every Friday Modelface Comedy brings you the best comedians from all over the country. This week we have Harrison Tweed from NYC! \nHarrison Tweed is a standup comedian\, writer\, actor\, and podcaster. He’s mostly known as the co-host of “Let’s Talk About Sets!” comedy podcast. On his podcast\, he and host Jeff McBride dissect the standup material of some of the best comics in the United States and break it down with the comedian themselves. \nAs a comedian he’s been featured in NC’s Funniest Competition\, New York Comedy Festival\, and the ABC Network Comedy Showcase. His goofy disposition and charismatic charm is the key to allowing his outlandish (gross and stupid) takes on society to go down smoothly and with big belly laughs. \nEven though Harrison began his comedy career in New York City\, he left during the pandemic to live in his hometown of Durham\, North Carolina. He currently performs all over the country and runs a monthly comedy show at Bull McCabe’s Irish Pub where he brings local and nationally touring comedians down to Durham to make some strangers laugh.\nFollow him on Twitter\, Instagram\, and Tok Tok @TweedyJokes on all platforms. \nfeaturing Kenyon Adamcik \nages 18+\nDoors at 6:30pm\, show at 7pm \nTickets $15 advance\, $18

SUMMARY:Hemlock Hike at Strawberry Gap Trail with Conserving Carolina
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Saturday\, May 18th at 10:00 am for an educational hemlock hike with the Hemlock Restoration Initiative and Conserving Carolina at Strawberry Gap Trail near Gerton\, NC. The hike is out and back\, about 2.5 miles total round-trip. Please note that the first half will be very steep. There will be an elevation gain of almost 725 feet over the first 1.3 miles before descending back down to the parking lot for the last half of the hike. This hike may be challenging\, but the view at the top and the hemlocks along the way will make it well worth your while! \nThe route will climb to the top of Ferguson peak where we will see a beautiful stand of Carolina hemlocks. Along the way\, we will traverse through the middle of an eastern hemlock stand. It is a very special opportunity to be able to see both a Carolina hemlock stand and an eastern hemlock stand in the same day! We will cover the ecological importance of both species\, what is threatening both species\, what is being done about it\, and more. \nConserving Carolina AmeriCorps Project Conserve Trails Associate\, Emma LaValley\, will join to discuss the trail\, the history of the property it goes through\, and how Conserving Carolina is connected to trails and preserves around Western North Carolina.  \nWe’ll depart from the Strawberry Gap Trailhead. More information about the meeting location and what to bring will be provided after registering. Please plan on packing a lunch\, as we will stop to eat along the way. \nFor any questions or to register\, contact Caroline Lord at outreach@savehemlocksnc.org or 828-252-4783. While the hike is free to attend\, your RSVP is required. Please sign up by Wednesday\, May 13th. Please include contact phone number\, email address\, and emergency contact when you sign up.
