2nd Annual Event! SATURDAY, MAY 10TH AT McNAIR FIELD
The Union Mills Learning Center (UMLC) will host its second annual Music at the Mills Bluegrass & Arts Festival on May 16 and 17. The festival is presented by Box Creek Wilderness and features 18 outstanding bluegrass and newgrass bands including headliners Darin & Brooke Aldridge.
As the Rutherford County school year comes down the homestretch, so does is the end of regular season on the diamond.
East Rutherford (17-2, 12-1) softball continued to impress despite capturing the No.1 SMAC seed for the playoffs. Last week, Savannah Davis was untouchable as she threw a no-hitter against Draughn.
I’ve suddenly become obsessed with one certain gobbler. It’s pretty smart and I have had my moments where I have been pretty dumb. Regardless, it’s still alive and has now become my number one priority until the season ends. I can take you to the area that it will roost in. I know it well. I actually think I missed this bird on opening day which makes it that much more wary of anything it cannot see. But since then, I have set up my son for an opportunity, but we set up too close.
Do you ever get caught doing something good?
I decided not to wait until the last minute this year to do my wife’s Mother’s Day shopping. So about two weeks before the big day, I took off on my lunch hour to get her presents. The previous week, my younger daughter and I bought the necessary cards and a special T-shirt she just had to have for her mother. So, knowing exactly what I wanted, because I talked with my older daughter, I went to the Super-Center, where I immediately walked up to what I wanted, made my purchases, and headed to the door…
…when what to my wandering eyes should appear but my wife, smiling, pushing her buggy right toward me, staring at my bag.
Now understand that I had called her earlier to see if she had any plans to go shopping. She had none. So I thought I was safe.
But I wasn’t. I was caught doing something good.
But I guess that’s a lot better than being caught doing something else.
Get caught doing something good for someone else as you listen to life today and make a positive life.

Rutherfordton Annual Mayfest Presents Bigger Venue!
Posted on: April 30, 2014
Four years ago, Big Springs Baptist performed a play called “Uncle Phils Diner”. It was so well received it added other performances. The play was combined with a dinner and it immediately became the best entertainment bargain in Rutherford County. The same play was performed two years in a row. Now the same thing has evolved with a second year of the play “Smoke On The Mountain”.

As I believe…people are people. Regardless of anything. It’s a shame that I have to talk about this subject in 2014, but I must this week.
The hottest sports topic of the week is L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling and everybody knows what he said. This is a tough topic to even discuss or think about, especially in the sports world. I do believe that the Clippers owner is guilty and a racist. He says that the tapes were doctored by his ex-mistress, but I am not convinced.

I don’t consider myself computer illiterate but I’m also not a tech expert. I fall somewhere in-between. I used to spend more time learning about new gadgets but now I sort of just maintain until I’m forced to adapt or be left behind. One of the things that I’m trying to adapt to is my digital camera. I know, I know, don’t laugh. I’ve actually had the camera for a couple of years but all I’ve been doing is taking pictures the simplest way I could. I thought all of the buttons where there so they could sell it for more. (I feel the same way about my cell phone. Why can’t they just give me big numbers, lots of volume, and plenty of light?) I digress.

Do you look over your shoulder?
The part of the world where I live had some marvelous, beautiful, amazingly warm weather last month. I’m talking about temperatures of 70 degrees and higher common for day after day. Spring arrived early. My daffodils popped up and bloomed virtually overnight. My rose bushes started growing new leaves. The maple trees turned red with buds. The Bradford pears stood up and saluted all of us with their gorgeous white flowers.
What a great gift—to stir from the sleepy, dull winter early! I remarked about the beautiful weather everywhere I went. The response I received back was pretty common: “Yea, the weather is beautiful, but don’t enjoy it too much or else you’ll get used to it. And we might have another cold spell.”
Now I understand what they meant, but, listen: the only moment in time we have is right now. Yesterday’s gone. Tomorrow’s not here. Avoid looking over your shoulder in either direction.
Listen to life and make a positive life, not just a living, in a negative world today.
