Lonely Mountain Community Center by Phillip March Jones (and book link)
By Phillip March Jones, Creative Director Institute 193
This book and associated exhibition, represents a certain kind of expansive potential for Burris' work. Each of the works contained within these pages is designed to grow and expand. They are not the products of short-term vision but well-polished models intended for expanded installations and bodies of work. The Lonely Mountain Community Center has a never-ending energy that allows it to alter its scale, content and aesthetic at will. The cultural ephemera being created by the Stoner Creek Boys can continue to evolve into an infinite number of physical incantations further adding to their myth. The Mountain Top Removal Protestors can grow into a full-fledged army of opposition, fighting for their cause in large numbers. Their armed opposition will obviously augment their own forces in response. We Will Someday, Someday We Will is full of potential energy and challenges all of us to engage with our larger community and become a part of the ongoing debates that will shape our future. Someday is not as far off, as it seems.

Bulletin Board – A Story in Seven Voices
(a choral reading for seven voices)
By Ruthie Maslin
Voice One: Suze
. . . so I took one of those little tabs off the Hauling and Yard Work flier at the Community Center, and I called the number and it was a message machine that picked up so I left my number. Then about 7 that night I get a call and I have no idea whose number it is and I almost don’t answer but I can’t stand the phone ringing and not answering it, so I did, and it was this really deep voice and the guy said
Voice Two: Marvin
. . . you call about some Hauling and Yard Work? I got some time this Thursday and a coupla mornin’s next week. Busy time of year for haulin’, ya know? And I got this computer class two times a week down at Linz Valley so I got homework. Tryin to get the hang of X-L or whatever they call it so I can make out bills for my jobs. So anyway. Call me back and let me know if you want haulin’ or yard work. Yard work I got more time for so just call me and tell me what you need done. OK. Got a beep. Gotta get this. So call me ok?
Voice One: Suze
. . . and he sounded so you know MANLY. I mean I could just picture him sweaty and hauling stuff and with that voice O –M – G!!! I cannot believe he wants me to call him!! Seriously, like I have had guys in bars and stuff give me their numbers and say CALL ME. And once in Sav-a-Lot, this guy came up to me and said
Voice Three: Donell
. . . I’m sorry to bother you but I just had to tell you that you have the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen? Are you married? Do you have a boyfriend? A girl as fine as you should not be single. Hold up – you got a girlfriend? That’s cool. I mean, I’m totally cool with that, you know? I mean I could have some of that too, you know? It’s cool. Is your girl as fine as you are?
Voice One: Suze
. . . seriously? I mean, seriously? I’m like, I do not have a girlfriend. There was this girl I saw once that was so gorgeous I mean total babe gorgeous and she was just walking around like a regular person, real nice, talking to people and all, and I was like, she is SO gorgeous. But hello, I don’t think Brother Harley is gonna take well to me bringing a girl to Revival even if she is a total babe. I can just hear him now
Voice Four: Brother Hurley
. . . amen? Did you hear what I said, Church? Amen? Amen?
TO BE CONTINUED . . .

Welcome to our autumn 2010 Lonely Mountain Community Center Email Newsletter!
From Donny Toller (Acting LMCC Executive Director)
(Thanks to Linz Valley Peppey Products Distributors, LLC)
Due to the circumstances of our sad and troublesome summer it’s been a while since our last email newsletter. I’m sure you all have been aware of the turmoil and stresses placed upon us. I want to thank all of you who have supported us throughout this most difficult period. Every one of you should understand that we are here to support our entire community in the ways we always have but due to the nature of our situation there have been many changes made.
First it needs to be said that LMCC is here for all of us but we also need to say that we failed to stay together in light of our differences between those who are in favor of Mountaintop Removal and those opposed to it. For years as you all know we struggled to hold on as a community center with these differing points of view and hoped we could still come together and share but in the end the forces which pulled and provoked proved to be just too much. Mostly people on both sides really wanted to work together but it has to be said there were some bad apples that made this close to impossible. It isn’t so simple as to say “those of opposed to Mountaintop Removal” or “those of us for Mountaintop Removal” but in general those not opposed have begun their own community center near 3 Forks. Currently they are sharing space with Heritage Baptist and will have many of the same great services we have here, including After School and a Clinic. For a while they will be sharing our gym for basketball and for other things as well. Like I said this is still a great community and there is still lots of goodwill between us!
Basketball: Speaking of basketball both the Junior Miner boys and girls team did a terrific job in summer in league play and especially in the annual Linz Valley Southern Mountain District 2-AA Summer Basketball Shootout Tournament. You know (ahem) we don’t like braggin’ on our basketball teams but if you want to know how we did just take a peek at the trophy case. Special shout-outs to girls team Captain Mysty Rader and their Coach, Connie “Hawk” Hawkins and to boys team Captain Doug Sneigle and our new boys coach “Heb Brunner” of Burton Lumber! Also thanks to all the great and supportive parents and volunteers- we are basketball blessed!

Our super literary volunteer James Tobey has picked the word that the Haiku must contain to be considered to win a prize and he will serve as judge for our 3rd Annual "Haiku For A Hat" contest. In keeping with our tradition of a "spring theme" this year's Haiku must contain the word "awakening" in it. Thanks Jim!
