Abstract:
With the decline of tobacco and other crops, North Carolina farmers seek alternative sources of revenue to hold on to their family farms. The Fowler family, who have owned their 600-acre farm for three generations, chose sporting clays. Their business is called Fowler Sporting Clays and Game Preserve of Madison County. Sporting clays is the fastest growing shotgun sport in the nation and differs from traditional clay target games in the level of difficulty and the natural terrain. Schmitt describes the Fowler's gun range and the sport which originated in England almost 100 years ago.

Abstract:
Snowbird Cherokees in western North Carolina chose a trail planted with trees and medicinal herbs to honor the memory of tribal leaders, like Junaluska, who have passed down age-old traditions. The Medicine Trail is located outside Robbinsville. The nearly forty-five plants along the trail were selected for their role in the community's medicine traditions. Plants include Joe Pye weed, sourwood, yellowroot, and goldenseal.

Abstract:
In 1891, Madison County had seventy-nine schools to educate the county's six thousand schoolchildren. Between 1920 and 1940, many of these schools were consolidated into five. These five had walls constructed of rock. By the 1980s, all five had closed except one. Now the citizens of these five school communities are working together to renovate and restore the buildings as community centers.
