Barnardsville Under the lights once again
The softball field in Barnardsville, located behind the Big Ivy Community Center, is getting a much-needed facelift thanks to some community efforts.
By Matt Tate About seven years ago it
stopped. No more games. No more slides.
No more home runs. Te softball field behind the Big
Ivy Community Center has been dormant since near the turn of the century. Tanks to some grassroots com-
munity efforts, this once vibrant community unifier will once again see some action. Gerald Carswell and his wife
Lisa, as well as Quincey Brock, Rick Slaughter and Wayne Maney represent the board in the newly formed Barnardsville Church Soft- ball League.

828-736-5511 Players from Dillingham Presby-
terian Church, Locust Grove Bap- tist Church, Piney Mountain Bap- tist Church, Weaverville United Methodist Church, North Asheville Baptist Church and Mountain Val- ley Methodist Church will begin preseason league action April 26. A men’s league is expected to form in the fall. Not only is the league organiz-
ing the games, they are also helping provide a facelift to the field. New lights, a new home run
fence, a regraded infield, updates to the dugouts and a new concession stand will be some of the field’s new features. Te community effort has been
outstanding, Brock said. “It’s very unusual to see a com-
munity pull together like this,” he said.
Te Carswell helped run a youth
league in the late 1990s at the field. However, once their children out- grew the league, it fell, much like the field, by the wayside. Lisa Carswell said this opportu-
nity is like a second chance for her and her husband. “It’s kind of like a dream come
true,” she said. “Everything has fallen into place.” Area businesses and individu-
als such as L.C. Chandler, Haynes Electric, J.B. Williams, Maney Construction and WNC Door have pitched in to assist with the beautification efforts with the field as well as area youth. Te Big Ivy Community Center
has also been very receptive to the initiative, including offering the league a very favorable lease, Brock said. “None of this would have hap-
pened without the Big Ivy Com- munity Center,” he added. Ever since the league began
forming, Gerald Carswell said Bar- nardsville has been buzzing with excitement. “Some people said they just want
to come out, have something to eat and watch a ball game,” he said. “Everybody around here is getting really excitement.” Te league will feature up to nine
co-ed teams, with members from high-school age and up. For more information on the
league or to follow the teams’ prog- ress, go to
