Greening Rural Communities: Smart Growth, Sustainability & Small to Mid-sized Town Neighborhood Development in North Carolina

Speakers: Frank Wilson, Mayor, City of Bolton, NC; Terry Bellamy, Mayor, City of Ashville, NC. Moderator: Deeohn Ferris, President, Sustainable Community Development Group, Inc.

The challenges of transitioning to the new more energy-efficient economy and achieving smart growth and sustainable development take on different dimensions in rural and small municipalities due to smaller economies. Transitioning to a green economy is complicated by the challenges of attracting and retaining employers, the tax base, and the scale of rural unemployment. Mayors are the front-line policy decision-makers at the local level who are responsible for ensuring that all citizens benefit from the tools and resources of the emerging green economy while addressing key issues that principally affect distressed neighborhoods. In this session, rural and small to mid-sized town mayors discuss ways that their development strategies have addressed equity issues in North Carolina communities. The audience is encouraged to share rural and small to mid-sized town initiatives that have worked in other states, challenges, best practices and lessons learned.

Artist/Scholar-in-Residence 3: "Scary Old Sex": A Conversation With Arlene Heyman

Speakers: Chair: Susan Scheftel, Ph.D. (New York, NY) Presenter: Arlene N. Heyman, M.D. (New York, NY) Discussant: Fred L. Griffin, M.D. (Dallas, TX)

Artist-in-Residence Arlene Heyman, psychoanalyst and writer, will read from her recent book and runaway success, “Scary Old Sex.” In step with this year’s Artist and Scholar-in-Residence theme— “Creativity Over the Life Span”— this collection of short stories shatters taboos by taking a stringently perceptive yet unstintingly humanistic look at the vicissitudes of aging—including, well, sex. The New York Times singles out “Scary Old Sex” for its superb prose, and a “bliss that lifts right off the page.” Following the reading, Fred Griffin will in conversation with Heyman explore the mutual influence of her clinical psychoanalytic work and her construction of fictional universes, as well as the evolution of Heyman’s work over her writing career. The session will end with a question and answer with audience members.
