Community Event Helps Purchase Needed Pet Food
On Saturday, June 1st, from 4pm to 10pm, almost 70 bikers and friends showed up for a benefit poker run. It was sponsored by Gregory’s Original Restaurant in Rutherfordton. It was all for and about the kids!
The kids were those of Rutherford Spindale Youth Football and Cheerleading Association (RSYFCA). The program is a “age and weight protected” youth football league. Their pride is to be able to offer every child in the community an equal opportunity to play youth football as well as cheerleading.
Rutherford County has undoubtedly produced baseball talent in Gomer Hodge, then Randy Ingle, Todd Coffey, and Ryan Arrowood to name a few. This week, two young men have earned accolades and stamped their name among those who make the county proud of our diamond sport heritage once more.
Former Chase standout, Tyler White was named third team Louisville Slugger Collegiate All-American this season. White, who finished his senior year hitting .363, led the team in homers (16), doubles (27, also second in the nation) and with 66 RBI’s. The third baseball was also named 2013 SoCon player of the year as well.
My son and I just did a four hour float on the river. It was only my second time this year, but our first. I had been waiting for the water to recede from several spring rains that had hit our area. And after being away for a few days, it all lined up for us to go. It was a beautiful, short-sleeve comfortable, morning that was also full of some great expectations from me. This time of year the fishing can be good all day long and the fish don’t seem as finicky. The water was not yet warm enough to throw my favorite top water bait so we opted for a small fluke.
How do you talk to your child?
Can you imagine the mother of Christopher Columbus saying, “I don’t care what you’ve discovered, you still could have written!”?
Or, George Washington’s mother saying, “The next time I catch you throwing money across the Potomac, you can kiss your allowance good-bye!”?
Or, Thomas Edison’s mother saying, “Of course I’m proud you invented the electric light bulb. Now turn it off and go to sleep!”?

Outpatient Pediatric Dental Surgery Now Available At Rutheford Regional
It originated after the Civil War. Originally called Decoration Day, it became a national holiday called Memorial Day and the date was finally set for the last Monday in May. This year it fell on May 27th. It is a very special day when we remember and honor the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.
Memorial Day typically marks the start of the summer season and ends with Labor Day. Sadly over the years, the day has somewhat lost its meaning. Because of the long weekend created by it being on a Monday, the time has been seized for shopping sprees and sales, trips to the beach, family gatherings, fireworks and national media events. There is nothing wrong with this as long as each of us take the time and pause briefly to visit graves of family members who have served in our armed forces.
Memorial Day has always symbolized more than its original purpose. It is supposed to allow us to reflect on the lives of those who died while serving in the armed forces in the United States. We would do well to both remember that and to take a moment to actually do it in some fashion. I personally do not believe this is meant to be a somber day whereby one cannot enjoy all that the long weekend has to offer; but that we remember the price that was paid that gives us the freedom to have all of this fun.
