OUTDOOR TRUTHS Joyce Kilmer wrote... I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the sweet earth's fl owing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. If you have garnered much time in the woods, you too have appreciated the beauty of trees. I am a man and I don't get wrapped up in very much "mushiness," but I love trees. I have a good history with them. I am so glad when I was about twenty years old, I was able to work in the woods with someone who once was a logger. It was there I began to learn the difference between the oak and the hickory and the beech and the pop- lar and so many others. Now I still get confused at times but for the most part I can make sure I am not sitting in a maple thinking it's a white oak. This may not seem like a big deal to you, but it would surprise you to know how many people can- not tell one tree from another. There is, however, at least one thing that every tree has in common; every tree reaches to- ward God. Its limbs may be twisted. There may be a scar from days gone past. It may have had to grow around or through all sorts of obstacles, but ultimately its branches found their way to the skies. Friend, your life may be one that has had to grow through un- movable objects. Others may see your scars as a sign that you are no longer of any value. To God those marks are not what set you aside as worthless but they set you aside as unique just like each tree. And remember; only God can make a tree. By By Gary Miller Gary Miller Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Christ GARY MILLER gary@outdoortruths.org ~ www.outdoortruths.org The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission's Home From The Hunt™ safety campaign wants hunters to always think twice and positively identify their target and what is beyond it before pulling the trigger. "Don't let anticipation or excitement cloud your judgment," said Kevin Crabtree, the state's southern coastal district hunter education coordinator. "Make sure there are no houses, vehicles or anyone beyond your target so the bullet, arrow or shot has a safe path to follow." The four basic rules of fi rearms safety: Always point a fi rearm in a safe direction. Treat every fi rearm as if it were loaded and never assume a fi rearm is unloaded. Keep your fi nger out of the trigger guard and off the trigger until ready to shoot. Be sure of your target and what is beyond your target. Hunters should use binoculars to fi rst identify a target, Crabtree advised, and then sight through a scope only when ready to fi re. This ensures the muzzle is always pointed in a safe direction. All fi rst-time hunting license buyers must successfully complete a Hunter Education Course, offered free across the state. Go to www.ncwildlife.org or call (919) 707-0031 for more information.

Broadway St., Forest City FAST FAST FAST FAST WAY WAY WAY WAY ©Community First Media Community First Media SPORTS SPORTS Only one team remains in the fall playoff among high school teams in the county and it's at Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson's football downed Albemarle last weekend 49-7 in the fi rst round of the 1A playoffs at home. The Gryhons posted a 28-0 lead at the half and then sealed it early in the fourth quarter on Zane Jackson's 90 yard interception return for a touchdown. The Gryphons ran for fi ve touchdowns and just over 250 yards in the victory. Seth McCraw and Nick Mintz each had a touchdown run, while Nick Norris tallied the last one. Jaylon Simmons also added a touchdown reception in the win. No to be outdone, but the defense did a great job as well. Thomas Jefferson had eight tackles for loss and two sacks with two interceptions. Stephen Hargro delivered some big and nasty hits on defense and Hogan Modirzadeh was consistent as he collected seven tackles on the evening. The Gryphons will host Union Academy in the second round this Friday (11/20/15) at 7:30pm. Meanwhile, East Rutherford gave Reidsville all they wanted, but lost 16-7 in the fi rst round of the 2A West playoffs. It's the second straight close fi rst round playoff loss for the Cavaliers in as many years. They nearly upset Mount Pleasant last season. Demetrius Mauney scored the only East touchdown to cut Reidsville's lead to 9-7 at the half. Kameron Garrison ended up with 83 yards rushing in his fi nal game as a Cavaliers and ended the season just shy of a 1,000 yards rushing. Jarvis Hutchins also had an interception, which puts him at 12 on the season and is among tops in the state. Hutchins, a senior, totaled 538 yards receiving, and two rushing touchdowns for the season. On the other hand, R-S Central seemed poised for to bid an upset at Franklin, but that was not the case last Friday. The Hilltoppers were shutout 29-0 at the Panther Pit. They have now lost at Franklin 97-28 in the last two trips up the mountain. Kelton Lowry scored the opening kickoff for a touchdown and things went downhill from there for the Hilltoppers who ended the season (6-6). Although R-S Central is still young, they do lose a couple of key seniors. On offense, Tylor Brown and Trevon Carson. Brown made some keys catches this season, while Carson led the Central backfi eld with touches this season. On the soccer fi eld, the dream of a state championship has ended for the Rutherford County boys. Chase won their fi rst two playoff games, but were upset by Trinity High School in round three. The Trojans, who were seeded #2 overall and undefeated until this past Wednesday posted their best ever season at 20-1-1 and won the SMAC outright. They lose just fi ve seniors (Lossana Fofana, Jose Vasquez, Zion Deshommes, Trey Hawkins and Devin Davis) and should be a force to reckon with next season as well. Thomas Jefferson won their 1A fi rst round game easily, then upset Union Academy on the road. Unfortunately, the season ended to conference foe Highland Tech. The Gryphons fell in penalty kicks and had beaten Highland Tech twice already this season. The Gryphons were also young this season and graduate just seven seniors from the team (Sully Carpenter, John Kean, Sam Wagner, TJ Wallace, Jordan Padgett Will Kirkpatrick and Isaac Hunt). Finally, NASCAR will fi nish up at Homestead this coming weekend. Matt Kenseth will be back off suspension, but a championship will also be determined. We are down to Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. Whomever wins the race or fi nishes better of the four drivers remaining wins the title. Harvick won a year ago and he is guy to bet on in general. I really do think he will win the championship this weekend. He has been clutch the last two seasons. However, Gordon is determined to win the title in his last ever Cup race. If Harvick makes a mistake, it could be Gordon's title for the taking and he could go out like John Elway did in his professional sports career. Kyle Busch just wins and that gives him the potential to be the champion. Still, Homestead has been a bad luck track for Busch. He has fi nished 20th or worse in seven out of ten trips to Miami. In 2012, Busch led 191 laps, but fi nished fourth at Homestead. All that makes Busch hard to trust. Homestead has been a good track for Martin Truex Jr with three top fi ves and seven top tens in 10 starts there. It does give him the chance to play spoiler in Sunday's fi nale.
