Here’s a list of actions taken at the June 21 meeting of the Buncombe County Board of Commissioners.

Review of Solo Shots

June 21, 2011 by John Crutchfield

While I applaud artistic directors Susan and Giles Collard for giving the dancers a crack at creating their own choreography, the results prove something we already knew: that a good dancer does not necessarily a choreographer make. Beautiful movement is not enough. What we hope for is movement that expresses something significant, something urgent — something, moreover, that cannot be expressed any other way.

Asheville federal building evacuated due to bomb hoax, suspect arrested UPDATED

June 21, 2011 by David Forbes

The federal building in downtown Asheville was evacuated around noon today, June 21, due to a suspicious package with a “cryptic note” directed at federal law enforcement agencies. Asheville Police Department officers disrupted the package with high-powered water and a blank round. The APD has arrested Ernest McDonald, 66, in connection to the hoax.

Getting to know the Bele Chere bands

June 21, 2011 by Alli Marshall

Ready to meet three more bands in this year’s Bele Chere lineup? Today’s group is all from out of town, though not too far away. Beta Radio and Onward Soldiers both come from Wilmington; The Protomen (seen here) are from Nashville.

Cranky Hanke’s Weekly Reeler June 22-28: Cars, a Bad Teacher, L’amour Fou, and the Tree of Life

April 6, 2014June 21, 2011 by Ken Hanke

Well, last week’s onslaught of penguins, beavers, and green-tights wasn’t a very pretty sight. (Maybe penguins and beavers in green tights would have been better. Green Lantern with an all-penguin cast kind of appeals to me.) If it hadn’t been for Cave of Forgotten Dreams and the fact that Midnight in Paris was still around, I might go so far as to call it grim. Do Bad Teacher and Cars 2 indicate much of an improvement? Perhaps not, but there’s also The Tree of Life and L’amour Fou to take into account. That should help.

Cranky Hanke’s Screening Room: This? This Is the 2011 Movie Year?

April 6, 2014June 21, 2011 by Ken Hanke

Well, here we are at the tail end (you should excuse the term) of the sixth month of 2011. That means that the year is half over. That also means that the movie year is half over. And I have to say that it ain’t a very inspiring sight. Usually by this point, I can come up with eight or nine candidates for a Ten Best list. This year, I can come up with three—and maybe a couple more if I fudge things. What’s going on out there?
