Ryan Arrowood Nearly Flawless In Virginia NCAA Regional
Ryan Arrowood Nearly Flawless In Virginia NCAA Regional

Former R-S Central pitcher and current Appalachian St. right hander, Ryan Arrowood was terrific, in an opening round performance on Saturday. Arrowood had a no-hitter in the seventh inning and struckout nine, before giving up two late hits in a win over Oklahoma.

Appalachian St. posted an even bigger win over host seed Virginia the following day which left them one game away from advancing to the Super Regionals.

Although, they were in the driver’s seat, the Mountaineers fell short as Oklahoma won twice on Monday to end their season at 41-17. However, they won their first NCAA baseball tourney game since 1973 this past weekend and it was a monumental moment in that Arrowood was able to deliver it.

Coming Together To Fight Cystic Fibrosis
Coming Together To Fight Cystic Fibrosis

It was a first for Rutherford County. There has never been a fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis. However, two Rutherford County heros brought the need to help to the forefront. Their names are Landon Pruett and Anderson Pritchard. Both are two years old. Both were diagnosed just shortly after birth. They need constant attention and therapy. They also are very special and very loved. This event was held Sat., May 26 at Isothermal Community College.

     What is Cystic Fibrosis? Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disorder that affects the respiratory and digestive system. People with Cystic Fibrosis inherit a defective gene on chromosome 7 called CFTR.

What the hickory chicken is to spring, the catalpa worm is to summer. You just don’t eat em’. The catalpa worm is another special surprise that shows up in June or July. This particular worm is a delicacy for bluegill and catfish. To be more specific, the catalpa caterpillar is actually the larval stage of the catalpa sphinx moth. These moths exclusively infest catalpa trees.  I’m sure there is a more scientific name for these caterpillars, but to a bluegill or catfish fisherman, they are superbait. A catalpa tree is a tree that has big broad leaves and pods of beans that are about a foot long. (We used to call them “cigar” trees) This worm loves to devour their leaves until there’s nothing left.

How do you like your tea?

Did you know that here in the U.S. June is National Iced Tea Month?

Now for those who grew up in the southern U.S., I suspect every month is National Iced Tea Month.  Most likely you were weaned on iced tea and probably sugar-sweetened iced tea.  You drink sweet iced tea with at least two meals a day and maybe even for breakfast, too.  For you, iced tea is…well, normal. But go to another part of the world, like the Orient, and iced tea isn’t normal.  When you ask for tea, it’s not iced, but hot.  It may not be black tea, but green tea.  And you drink it from a tiny cup, not a 20 ounce tumbler filled with ice cubes.
