As you're slapping gnats on
the back porch, do you ever
stop to wonder at the beauty of
kudzu? 7
Well, you should. What other
plant actually grows a foot
every 24 hours. You don't need
a time-sequenced movie cam
era to see kudzu worm its way
across your lawn. Just watch a
minute or two.
According to the Appalachian
Trailway News writer Charles
Dickson, an environmental
chemist with the public utilities
department in Hickory, the
plant has other benefits as well.
They use it for medicine in
China and Japan — where it is
known as ahhhkazoo, or "de
many sprendered prant of the
terephone pore."
Agriculturists have even
found it useful as a high protein
feed for livestock. It certainly
works as a groundcover fight
ing erosion.
So, count your blessings
Pacolet Valley. There's heal
ing, food and fun in those vines.

Cardinals vs. Reds 6/5/91
The second half of the season
started with this game between
the Reds and the Cardinals.
Their first meeting turned into a
low scoring pitchers duel so the
players were worked up for this
one, they knew it could go
either way.
Pitching for the Reds were
Chad Edwards and Jon Sto-
strom who struck out 10 batters
between them. Reds hitters
were slow to find their target
until a big four run rally in the
sixth inning. Leading the Reds
batters was Jon Stostrom with a
double and a single. Nicholas
Mott hit a double and singles
were hit by Chard Edwards (2)
Travis Searcy and Jason Ruff’
Stealing bases for the Reds
were Nicholas Mott, Jon Stos
trom and Chad Edwards. Reds
lielders were able to make some
clutch plays and leave plenty of
Cardinals on base. Chad
Edwards and Andrew Searcy
hung on to tough hits for
important outs.
Cardinal batter led the attack

Men Host TPS Members Reception
Last Sunday's TPS Members
Art Exhibit opening reception
was indeed a lively and spirited
affair. The gentlemen members
of the Tryon Painters and
Sculptors were the hosts and arc
shown above standing by the
table of food they prepared
(could the wives possibly have
given any assistance?) Each
host was given an apron espe
cially made for the occasion by
Jeanne Hoffman, and was
instructed to paint something on
the apron. During the afternoon
bids were then made on one's
lavorite apron by visitors to the
show, with the highest bidder
winning the apron at the end of
!,n e ,^ a y’ Blddin S was lively for
all the aprons - the top price for
one being $60 - since they
were handpainted originals by
living artists! At 4:30 all bids
were closed and the eight lucky
winners were announced.
All the attention was not on
the apron auction. The 104
pieces of art in the gallery were
viewed with "ohs" and "ahs" by
the large crowd. Words such as
best ever," "great show" were
heard all around. There is a
ballot box for voting for one's
lavorite painting and sculpture
and it is a hard decision to
make. There are portraits
landscapes, still life subjects as
s l nous and whimsical
sculpture from which to select a
favorite. If you missed the
opening, do not miss seeing the

Arts Center. The show runs
