CCC&TI’s Landscape Gardening Students
Excel at Spring Show; Win Two Awards
Landscape Gardening students from Caldwell
Community College and Technical Institute
brought home two awards from the annual
Southern Spring Home and Garden Show held
at The Park Expo and Conference Center Feb.
29 through March 4 in Charlotte, N.C. Students
received a First Place Award for Creativity and a
Second Place Award for Horticulture.
The theme for this year’s garden was “Dark
Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd.” Each garden
featured a music theme, and the CCC&TI students channeled the iconic rock album through
the use of a rainbow of flower colors and strategically placed prisms. A variety of live plants
were used, along with brick pavers, rock walls
and special lighting.
The award brings the total for CCC&TI’s
Landscape Gardening students to 12, which
have been earned over the last 9 years. Among
others, CCC&TI students have won the J.C.
Raulston Award, the Palette Award for best use
of color in a showcase garden and in 2006,
the CCC&TI garden earned the “Best of Show”
award, the highest award given at the yearly
event.
Landscape Gardening Director Debbie Mitchell
commented on the hard work and efforts of
her students this year, but also pointed out the
benefits of involvement in events such as the
Spring Home and Garden Show.
In addition to
the hands-on,
“real world
problem-based
learning,” the
students are
exposed to
opportunities
they won’t
have on campus, Mitchell
said.
“I had three
companies
come up and
offer internships to our students,” she said. “The students
learn to work together and operate in a professional way outside their local community.
“I couldn’t be more proud of our students,”
Mitchell said. “I’m so lucky to have such dedicated students and such incredible faculty.”

CCC&TI Foundation Kicks Off
Community Campaign.
The Foundation of Caldwell Community College
and Technical Institute held the kickoff for its
Annual Fund Campaign at a luncheon on Tuesday, March 6 at the J.E. Broyhill Civic Center.
The event, which included community leaders,
campaign volunteers, and college faculty and
administrators, served as the start to fundraising
efforts for the Foundation’s Annual Fund drive.
loved this institution for a number of years…[but]
I grossly undervalued this institution. One of our
most valuable assets is Caldwell Community
College and Technical Institute,” said Murray.
“By supporting the Foundation, you are supporting the educational efforts that help us grow and
compete in a global economy. Your efforts can’t
be better spent.”
Peg Broyhill, Chair of the Foundation’s Board
of Directors, offered opening remarks and
welcomed the crowd to the event. Broyhill also
announced the goal for this year’s campaign as
$312,000. “In this room we have over 788 years
of experience in fundraising,” said Broyhill. “You
make the difference in our world and in our
future.”
Dr. Ken Boham, President of CCC&TI, offered
his encouragement and thanks to the volunteers
in attendance and stressed the importance of
the campaign. “Our Annual Fund Drive is one of
the things that makes our institution great. We
know it’s great because it’s substantiated over
and over again to us externally,” said Boham.
“What you do makes us excellent and helps
create an institution that provides hope and
changes lives. We thank you from the bottom of
our hearts.”
Broyhill recognized the faculty and staff members at CCC&TI, who kicked off their portion of
the campaign in February. To date, the employee campaign has raised more than $36,000 and
employees are continuing to bring in pledges.
“The faculty and staff see first hand every day
how much these funds are needed at the college,” said Broyhill.
Broyhill also recognized the student campaign,
“Students Supporting Students,” an effort now
in its second year. “Students have spearheaded
a campus drive and are educating the student
body on how the Foundation helps them and
their peers,” said Broyhill.
This year’s
Annual Fund
Drive Chairman, Brent
Kincaid,
also offered
remarks at
the luncheon.
“When I look
at all of you
being so
enthusiastic,
I know we’re
going to be
successful,”
said Kincaid.
“If you love
the college
and the community as I
do, I know
you’re going
to make this
campaign a
success.”
Broyhill introduced each of the team captains
for this year’s campaign. They are Dr. Ed Beam,
Peg Broyhill, Barbara Freiman, Ann Hancock,
Jimmy Hemphill, Susan Jones, Wayne Keller,
Debbie Mason, Deborah Murray, Mary Frances
Sullivan, Guy Walters, Marty Waters and Barbara Weiller.
Foundation Director Marla Christie provided
several statistics for campaigners and pointed
out that during the 2011-2012 academic year,
the Foundation assisted 815 individuals and
provided 420 scholarships. In addition, the
Foundation provided childcare assistance to
help provide care for 43 children and provided
funding for counseling services and emergency
assistance for 87 students. “Thank you all for
being here today,” said Christie. “It’s your hard
work and dedication that make us shine.” Christie also announced that the Foundation has a
new secure website where donors can make
gifts and pledge payments online.
Also speaking at the event were students Amy
Holsclaw and Dorys Ghareeb. Holsclaw, who is
an alumnus who returned to work toward two
more degrees, serves as Secretary of CCC&TI’s
Student Government Association and is helping
lead the student campaign. Ghareeb is a single
mom to three children who is working on her Associate’s Degree in college transfer. She plans
to pursue a teaching degree through Appalachian State University. Ghareeb is the recipient
of the Anne and Alex Bernhardt Scholarship.
“This scholarship is especially meaningful to me
because it not only recognizes my success as
an individual but it also represents a future for
me and my children,” she said.

CCC&TI Corporate and Continuing Education
Students Honored.
Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute hosted the
2012 Corporate and Continuing Education Course Completion Ceremony on Thursday evening, March 15 on its Caldwell
Campus.
The event honored more than 500 students who have earned
certificates in Cabinetmaking, Carpentry, Electrical, Electrical
Lineman Training, EMT-Basic, EMT-Paramedic, HVAC, Manicurist, Massage Therapy, Nurse Aide, Pharmacy Technician,
Phlebotomy, Upholstery, VMware Academy and Welding.
Corporate and Continuing Education staff members Tammy
Palmer and Jimmie Griffith provided music for the ceremony.
CCC&TI Executive Vice President, Mark Poarch, welcomed
students, friends and family members to the event. “We are
extremely happy that you have joined us tonight to celebrate
this time in the lives of these students,” said Poarch. “I want to
congratulate each of you on your accomplishments and want to
thank you for allowing Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute to serve you. We are proud of you.”
Elaine Lockhart, Vice President of Adult, Corporate and Continuing Education, also addressed students at the event. “New
and replacement jobs require training beyond a high school credential. What is your education and training worth? The answer:
priceless. It opens doors to hope, opportunity and jobs,” said
Lockhart. “By stepping out and opening the door of opportunity
to continue your education, you become a role model to all of
those around you. You had the heart and the courage to begin
and the commitment and persistence to realize your goals.”
Donna Bean, Corporate and Continuing Education Department
Chair, introduced the student speakers for the event.
Doug Davis earned a certificate in EMT-Paramedic in 2010. Davis decided to continue his education after he was laid off from
CommScope.
He started with
the EMT-Basic
Course and
then earned
his certificate in
EMT-Paramedic.
“I no longer live
with the fear of
being laid off,” he
said. “If anybody
wants to try to
get a degree,
go for it. With
determination
and hard work,
you can defeat
any foe.”
Also speaking
at the ceremony
was Dawn Pruitt.
Pruitt was laid
off from a local
furniture factory and says
she decided to
return to school
because she
had always
been interested
in working in the
medical field.
“I realized there
were barriers I
had to overcome. I never
finished high
school, so I
enrolled in Basic
Skills to obtain my GED,” she said.
Not only did Pruitt earn her GED while at CCC&TI, she also
earned a Career Readiness Certificate and completed the
Nurse Aide I, Medication Aide and Phlebotomy programs
through Corporate and Continuing Education.
“I feel the training I received has provided me with the qualities
I need to be successful. I am very proud of all that I have accomplished. I am the first person in my family to attend college.
Because of my accomplishments, I have inspired other family
members to begin their educational journey. I am very proud
of them,” she said. “My choices for employment are endless,
after all I have been trained by the best registered nurses at
Caldwell.”
Vice President Poarch closed the ceremony by encouraging
students to continue their education and congratulating them on
their accomplishments. “Don’t stop learning. Make learning a
lifelong priority and continue to strive to be your best in all that
you do,” said Poarch. “We hope that you will allow Caldwell
Community College and Technical Institute to serve you in the
future. Our congratulations to you and best wishes for all that
you do in the future.”
Students and their families enjoyed a reception following the
ceremony.

CCC&TI Hosts Silas House for Annual Writer’s Symposium
Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute
hosted the 24th Annual
Laurette LePrevost Writers
Symposium on March 8
and 9 featuring Appalachian novelist Silas House.
House serves as Writer-in-Residence at Lincoln Memorial University,
where he also directs the Mountain Heritage Literary Festival. He is a
contributing editor for No Depression magazine, where he has done long
features on artists such as Lucinda Williams, Nickel Creek, Buddy Miller,
Kelly Willis, Darrell Scott, Delbert McClinton, and many others. He is also
one of Nashville’s most in-demand press kit writers, having written the
press kit bios for such artists as Kris Kristofferson, Kathy Mattea, Leann
Womack, and many others.
House is the author of four
novels: Clay’s Quilt (2001),
A Parchment of Leaves
(2003), The Coal Tattoo
(2004) and Eli the Good
(2009), a play, The Hurting
Part (2005), and Something’s Rising (2009), a creative nonfiction book about
social protest co-authored
with Jason Howard. A new
play, Long Time Traveling
premiered in April 2009.
For his environmental activism House received the Helen Lewis Community Award in 2008 from the Appalachian Studies Association.
House, the father of two daughters was born and grew up in Lily, Ky. He
currently divides his time between London and Berea. He is also currently
working on his fifth novel, Evona Darling.
Support for the Laurette LePrevost Writers Symposium is provided by the
Foundation of Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute. For
more information on CCC&TI’s Laurette LePrevost Writers Symposium,
call 726-2200.
House held readings, question-and-answer sessions and signings on both
days for CCC&TI students who are reading the novel Clay’s Quilt as part
of their English and Reading course work.
When asked a question from the audience about why he ended his book,
Clay’s Quilt, the way he did, “I like leaving ambiguity so the reader will
keep thinking about the book long after finishing it. I can’t explain it,” said
House.
House approaches writing as a basketball player and a preacher. “Approaching writing as a preacher, I look at the complexity of belief in all my
books and try to showcase believers who believe in God and present the
full spectrum, the fanatic to the open-minded believer. Approaching writing
as a basketball player, I study, practice the game of writing and give it my
all. My mind is always writing,” said House.
House’s first novel, Clay’s Quilt, was published in 2001. It appeared briefly
on the New York Times Best Seller List and became a success throughout
the South. It was a finalist for both the Southeast Booksellers’ Association
fiction award and the Appalachian Writers’ Association Book of the Year
Award.
CCC&TI Offering Extreme
House’s writing has appeared in Oxford American, Newsday, Bayou, the
Louisville Review, Night Train, Appalachian Heritage, Wind, and other
publications. His work has been nominated for two Pushcart Prizes and
anthologized in such books as New Stories from the South: The Year’s
Best, 2004. He has also written the introductions to Missing Mountains,
a study of mountaintop removal; From Walton’s Mountain to Tomorrow,
a biography of Earl Hamner, Jr., and Gregory of Nyssa’s Life of Moses, a
new edition by HarperCollins.
