Broadway St., Forest City FAST FAST FAST FAST WAY WAY WAY WAY ©Community First Media Community First Media RUTHERFORD WEEKLY SPORTS By KEVIN CARVER R-S Softball, TJCA Soccer Still Alive At the completion of this column, just two of the eight postseason teams this spring season are left in high school sport among Rutherford County teams. R-S Central softball and Thomas Jefferson girls soccer team is all that's left. R-S Central softball seems to have found it's mojo behind their only senior in Makayla Crawford and freshman pitcher Haley White. The Lady Hilltoppers won their fi rst two playoff games 11-1 and 14-6. Crawford posted two hits against Forest Hills, but upped that to four hits and four RBI in their second round win over West Davidson. They have that similar gleam in their eyes like East Rutherford a year ago. Still, Coach Melvin Digh and company are taking it one game at a time as they should. R-S Central played Parkwood on 5/19 or 5/20. If Central wins, they will either go to Polk County or host Franklin on Friday (5/22) at 7pm. Coach Brian Espinoza and his Thomas Jefferson girls soccer pulled of the biggest fi rst round upset. No.1 1A West seed East Montgomery came into the second round of the playoffs undefeated, had a fi rst round bye and average joe, Thomas Jefferson coming into town. The Lady Gryphons of Thomas Jefferson were stout. They held tough tied at 2-2 in regulation and won the shootout 4-2 advancing them to third round action. TJCA beat Queen's Grant 3-0 in round one. They traveled to Union Academy Wednesday and should they win and would likely play at Pine Lake Prep, which would be the third meeting this season on Saturday (5/23). Chase baseball may have made this most noise as they downed East Rutherford in fi rst round playoff action, 10-3, but lost in second round play, 7-3 to West Wilkes. Although, they are out of the playoffs, they did beat East Rutherford twice in the last week in upset fashion. If anything, the Trojans got better as the season went for sure and the last couple of weeks proved it. East Rutherford baseball had won at least a fi rst round game during the last eight years. What a coincidence that a county team would end that streak. East pitching and defense carried them to a third place overall in the SMAC this season and the county championship. Thomas Jefferson baseball made the playoffs, but were shutout by South Stanly in the fi rst round. The defending 2A state softball champs at East Rutherford lost a battle with West Davidson on the road in fi rst round action. East did fi ght, down 4-1, they came back to take a 5-4 lead before eventually losing 7-6. Chase softball was the third area softball team to make the postseason, but the young club was bounced by an experienced West Lincoln group. R-S Central and East Rutherford were shutout in the fi rst round games of the ladies 2A soccer playoffs. East posted their best season in quite sometime, while Central was up and down all year. Memorial weekend is upon us. In the South, many focus on the Charlotte Motor Speedway and the North is all about Indianapolis Motor Speedway. With the Coke 600 and Indy 500 here, Im looking forward to a very interesting weekend of racing. Kyle Busch is back on the scene after a three month long recovery of injures to the right and left leg. He actually looked to be doing well walking around and driving car. It could be a little bit concerning in going 600 miles on Sunday. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a back up driver, considering the length of the event and the fact that his wife is due to deliver the couple fi rst child soon. As for the 600, I could easily name 10 potential winners or more. I have got to go with Kevin Harvick or Brad Keselowski this weekend. While both have won this season, as well as they ran at Charlotte in the All-Star race, that's who as see as the major threats. Of course, tradition, prestige, and absolute nerves of steel describes the Indy 500. I have a strong feeling that it could be the better race of the two. So far, some very exciting and terrifying practice moments, which includes three crashes with fortunately no injuries sets up more intrigue for Sunday's 500.

PINWHEEL GARDEN TO PINWHEEL GARDEN TO RECOGNIZE EFFORTS TO PREVENT RECOGNIZE EFFORTS TO PREVENT CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT Article Provided By: Kim Aldridge, deputy clerk/public information coordinator, Rutherford County Government April was Child Abuse Prevention Month. The Rutherford County Department of Social Services and the Rutherford County Clerk of Court's Offi ce will join thousands of communities throughout North Carolina and the nation in bringing attention to child abuse prevention with a pinwheel garden at the Rutherford County Courthouse. The garden was originally planned for the month of April to coincide with Child Abuse Prevention Month, however, due to a dock workers strike at the port of Los Angeles, the materials for the pinwheel garden were being held in customs. The pinwheel planting event will be held on May 22 at 4 p.m. on the front lawn of the Rutherford County Courthouse. "We want to make the best of this situation. Even though there is a delay in planting the garden, this deferral can help the general public understand the role we all play in prevention every day of the year, and the great prevention work going on year round… not just in April," states Social Services Director, John Carroll. The blue and silver pinwheel is the symbol of child abuse prevention, representing community efforts to provide children with the safe, stable, nurturing relationships they need for healthy development. Assisting with planting the garden will be local pre- school children to represent the successful future to which they look forward. "Protecting children is everyone's business," said Carroll. "These pinwheels are a visual reminder of our collective responsibility and our promise to protect and support the children in our community." All Rutherford County citizens are encouraged to learn more about the short and long term effects of child abuse and neglect on the child and on the community. "Our county's children will be the leaders of tomorrow and the source of our future community and economic development, " said DSS Children's Services Program Manager, Amanda McGee. "When children experience abuse and neglect, it leads to poor self-esteem and hinders the child's development, which when left unaddressed, leads to a poor outcome for the child and the community. These effects include academic failure, chronic long-term health issues, and increased crime rates and violence." Clerk of Superior Court, Steve Owens, says, "The courthouse is an ideal location for a pinwheel garden. We would like to keep anything dealing with child abuse outside the courthouse. Like DSS, once the issue of child abuse gets to the courthouse, it has past the prevention stage. However, child abuse and neglect can be prevented, and we want the community to know that we all have an important part in making that happen." In addition to the participation of the young gardeners, Judge Laura Powell, district county judge for Judicial District 29A; Ted Bell, district attorney; Sheriff Chris Francis; and Sherry Bright, executive director of Family Resources will address those in attendance. Anyone with questions or wishing additional information about this event may contact the Department of Social Services at 287-6165.
