It marked the thirdtime this season that theWarriors have won agame by being hit by apitch with the basesloaded in the bottom ofthe seventh inning.

“That’s pretty amaz-ing,” said Central coachBrian Mills. “They haveteams that play small ballto win. I guess you cancall that hit ball instead ofsmall ball.

“To tell you the truth

we’ll take it anyway wecan get it. We’ve struggledwith hitting at times thisseason, so we’ll take it.”

The victory put theWarriors in the LPD tour-nament championshipgame that was scheduledfor Thursday at Wiseagainst the ClintwoodGreenwave.

NICKELSVILLE — In the 10th meeting between thetwo teams in the last three years, Castlewood BlueDevils won their fourth in a row against the Rye CoveEagles Wednesday with a 4-3 win in the CumberlandDistrict baseball tournament semifinals at KeithMemorial Park.

The squads have met three times this season andDakota Grizzel has been on the mound for each of thosegames. After allowing a total of one hit in the first twomeetings, Rye Cove banged out four hits Wednesday butit wasn’t enough. It wasn’t Grizzel’s best outing of theseason, but he was still tough picking up the win.

“I labored some but I was able to work through it,”said Grizzel. “I couldn’t get some of my pitches across,at the end I was relaxed and threw a little better.”

Grizzel pitched the complete game, striking out 12.He walked five, but was able to pitch out of most of thejams he got into. He struggled getting his curveball overbut the changeup was very effective.

“I felt I could go to the fastball and that’s the most I’vethrown the changeup this year,” Grizzel said. “I like towork ahead but I wasn’t able to do that much today. Ithink I may have been a little over confident coming in,but I knew what I had to do at the end of the game.”

It was the seventh win of the season for Grizzel andhe has three no-hitters to his credit this year.

“It wasn’t Grizzel’s best outing but he was stilltough,” commented Castlewood coach Jonathon Salyer.“His curveball wasn’t getting in there for strikes, but hisfastball and changeup were good. They had seen himtwice, but he fought hard and did what we needed him todo.”

Rye Cove (10-10) battled back the entire game.Castlewood (8-9) took a brief lead in the first. DillonHartley walked to start the inning. Craig Jacobs laiddown a sacrifice bunt to get him to second. Then withtwo-out Blake Sloce hammered a clutch single that one-hopped the wall in right-center.

The Eagles immediately answered in the second.

With two outs, Jalen Hammonds walked. He then scoredall the way from first on the first hit of the game by RyeCove, a double by Tyler Barnette.

It remained tied until the fifth. Dillon Hartley led-offthe inning with a bunt single. After a strikeout, Grizzelreached on an error. Sloce then reached on a fielder’schoice putting runners at first and third. Sloce brokeearly from first, and when the throw went to secondGrizzel was able to score the go-ahead run.

Tyler Austin added a RBI single. Reid Edmonds keptthe inning alive with a hit. Gavin Collins reached onanother error to score Austin, giving the Blue Devils a 4-1 lead. None of the runs in the fifth were earned andCastlewood ended up needing every one of them.

The Eagles scored two runs in the sixth. DanielDockery pinch hit and came through with a run scoringsingle. Josh Hill also had a pinch hit. Another pinch hit-ter, Hunter Williams walked. Barnette then walked withthe bases loaded for the second run. Uriah Addison thenhit it sharply to right, but it was a line drive out right atCollins.

“Give Castlewood credit, they made more plays thanwe did,” Rye Cove coach Terry Fields said. “I put somesubs in and they hit the ball well and we threaten there.Uriah hit the ball well, if that falls I think we win. But wemade too many miscues that inning they scored three.”

Eric Hill was the tough luck loser for Rye Cove. Hillhad seven strikeouts, one walk and only allowed oneearned run.

After struggling in the sixth, Grizzel was perfect inthe seventh closing the door with a three up, three downinning.

“I was proud of the boys today, they really fought,”Salyer said. “Rye Cove will never give up, they are afighting team that will play until the end. I don’t carehow many runs you score, they will come back at you.”

EASTSIDE - TWIN SPRINGS GAME DELAYEDThe other semifinal contest between top-seed

Eastside (12-8) and Twin Springs (1-17) was rained outin the bottom of the first inning with the Spartans lead-ing 3-0 with one out. u

NORTON — Jaz Bayhad one hit in Monday’sLonesome Pine Districtsoftball tournament semi-final game with the UnionLady Bears.

That’s all the J.I.Burton sophomore need-ed to make an impact inthe game.

Bay delivered a one-out double off the left-field fence in the bottomof the sixth inning toscore Jaz Hill and CassiePage and give the LadyRaiders (9-12) a 2-0 winover the top-seeded LadyBears (14-7) at J.I. BurtonHigh School.

With the win, the LadyRaiders advanced toWednesday’s LPD tourna-ment championship gameagainst the Central LadyWarriors.

Central (15-4) defeatedClintwood 9-5 in the otherLPD semifinal game onMonday.

Bay’s double broke upa pitcher’s duel betweenBurton’s Tiffany Cole andUnion’s Demi Reynolds.

Both pitchers kept thegame scoreless throughthe first five innings of

play.In the bottom of the

sixth, Burton used itsspeed game to get on thescoreboard.

Jaz Hill hit a slowroller in the infield andbeat the throw to first foran infield single. Hill thenstole second and moved tothird on a wild pitch.

Cassie Page thenreached base on a field-er’s choice, when Unionthird baseman AlishaHafemiester concentrat-ed on keeping Hill at thirdbase.

Bay then doubled offthe left-field fence todrive in two runs.

Cole, who gave up onlythree hits in the game,retired six out of the finalseven batters she faced,including striking out theside in the seventh inningto seal the win.

She recorded eightstrikeouts in the contest.

“I’m proud of thegirls,” Burton coach JonBright said after theupset win. “I thought weplayed a great defensivegame and Tiffany pitcheda heck of a game.

“I would have liked tohave done a little moreoffensively, but with the

pitching and defense wehad, two runs wasenough.”

Bright was alsothrilled with the big dou-ble from Bay.

“If she hits it she’sgoing to hit it hard.Finally, her timing wasright and she got the bighit when we needed it.”

Union coach KoryBostic was upset with theloss, but said his team hasto concentrate now onmoving forward with theRegion D tournamentcoming up next week.

“If we can learn fromthis and get better from itand maybe wake us up alittle, then that would be agood thing,” said Bostic.

In Monday’s othersemifinal game, theCentral Lady Warriorsjumped out to a 7-0 leadover the first four inningson the way to a 9-5 victo-ry over the ClintwoodLady Greenwave (9-12).

Eight different playersfor Central had a hit inthe game, while seniorLaura Gipe finished 3-for-4 with an RBI at theplate.

Logan Reynolds,Hayley Wyrick, TaylorYeary, Kaitlyn Stratton,

Kerri Mullins andReagan Davis each hadan RBI in the contest forCentral.

Beans, rice: two powerhouse recipesOn his Grammy Hall of Fame

recording What a WonderfulWorld, Louis Armstrong sang inhis gravelly voice of trees ofgreen, red roses, skies of blue,clouds of white, colors of the rain-bow, friends shaking hands,healthy babies, and concluded, “Ithink to myself, what a wonderfulworld.” If a song reflects the truefeelings of a singer, then LouisArmstrong would have added redbeans and rice to the list of whatmakes the world wonderful. Redbeans and rice was his favoritedish, so much so, that he often

signed letters “Red beans andricely yours, Louis Armstrong”.

Many nutritionists also havestrong feelings about beans andrice. These nutritionists some-times call beans and rice a power-house — a food that is unusuallyrich in nutrients but relatively lowin calories. Beans certainly meetthis powerhouse criterion, and sodoes rice.

Beans are an excellent sourceof protein, vitamins, minerals, andfiber. They are low in fat, are highin iron, and have no cholesterol.They contain a good supply of

antioxidants that enrich the blood.Because they are digested slowly,and raise blood sugar gently,beans are sometimes a recom-mended food for diabetics. Beansare also thought to have proper-ties that actually lower choles-terol.

Rice is the most widely con-sumed staple in the world. It is thesecond most cultivated grainbehind corn. Rice contains eightamino acids, no cholesterol, nogluten, no additives, and no

preservatives. It is a good source of carbohydrates, cal-cium, riboflavin, phosphorous potassium, thiamine, andniacin, and vitamin B1. Rice also has cholesterol lower-ing properties. Beans and rice together make a com-plete protein. This means they are a great substitute forprotein that is higher in saturated fat, such as thosefound in red meat.In our kitchen on Mill Creek, werecently a made a Southwestern version of beans andrice — Pinto Beans with Chile & Rice. We used a meat-less recipe from the Santa Fe School of Cooking in SantaFe, New Mexico. We have, as well, made red beans andrice using a recipe from Louisiana Chef PaulPrudhomme which includes smoked sausage. Bothrecipes start with picking over (looking through) apound of dried beans. First, spread the beans out on acounter or cookie sheet to remove any stones or dam-aged beans. Then, rinse the beans and put in a bowl.Cover with cold water by 3 inches and let them sitovernight.

PINTO BEANS WITH CHILE & RICE1 pound pinto beans, picked over and soaked

overnight2 tablespoons peanut oil or vegetable oil1 1/4 cups diced onion1 tablespoon minced garlic4 cups chicken broth or water, or a combination of

the two2 small bay leaves1 1/2 teaspoons dried Mexican oregano1 1/2 teaspoons dried epazote1/2 teaspoon ground cumin seed1/2 teaspoon ground coriander seed1 dried chipotle chile1 1/2 teaspoons juice from a can of chipotle chiles in

adobo sauce (optional)1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

After the beans have been soaked overnight, drainand rinse. Then place in a large pot. Cover with coldwater by 3 inches, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat andsimmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the beans begin tosoften. Drain the beans and rinse well.

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heatand sauté the onions in the oil until golden. Add the gar-lic and cook 1 minute.

To this pot, add the softened beans, broth, bay leaves,oregano, epazote, cumin, coriander, and dried chile andbring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 1

hour, stirring frequently. Add more liquid, if needed. When the beans are creamy, add the optional chipo-

tle chile juice, if desired, and the salt and cook 15 min-utes more. The beans should have enough liquid to stireasily. Serve over rice.

RED BEANS AND RICE — LOUISIANA STYLE1 pound of red kidney beans, picked over and soaked

overnight 3 sticks of celery, diced

1 medium to large green bell pepper, diced1 bay leaf1 clove garlic, minced1 large onion, diced very small2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes1/4 teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper, or to taste12 to 16 ounces smoked sausage (Andouille, if you

can get it), sliced or choppedAfter the beans have been soaked overnight, drain

and rinse. Then place in a large pot with about 6 cupsof fresh water. Bring this to a boil, and then reduce heatto just a simmer. Cook for about 1 1/2 hours or untilbeans are tender. You may need to stir occasionally.Add the rest of the ingredients and continue on simmerfor about 1 hour. Stir and add water, a little bit at a time,as needed. Serve on hot rice.

TIP FOR COOKING BEANS Do not add salt (or any ingredients which contain

acid, such as vinegar, citrus juice, or tomatoes) to beansuntil they have softened because it inhibits the cookingprocess and the beans will be tough.

WHAT IS EPAZOTE?Epazote (eh-pah-zoh-teh) is a classic seasoning for

beans, and it is also used to make beans more sociallyacceptable because of its anti-flatulent qualities. Insome countries, it is known as wormseed and goosefootand is considered a weed. Epazote can be orderedonline.

Sweet spring scents have added awonderful feature to the lovely pas-tel colors of spring blooms, some-thing like a “value added trait.”

The Bubby Bush in my par-ents’ yard opened reddish-brown flowers promptly onMay Day, but we couldn’tdetect the signature scent ofstrawberries. With warm days,though, the scent has becomeobvious even at a distance,even without crushing abloom.

You may know this native shrub (real nameCalycanthus) as Carolina Sweetshrub, CarolinaAllspice, or even Strawberry Bush. I know the onewith reddish-brown blooms, but a friend in Wise has aform with yellowish blooms.

Also added to floral scents this week are dense clus-ters of bloom on native Locust trees. The flowers areso dense this spring that some trees in Lee and Wisecounties are so heavy with them that the leaves arealmost hidden.

There are other plants with heady scents:r Wisteria’s violet-blue, fragrant flowers are about

to disappear for the season, but specimens on sturdysupports at the parking lot on Norton’s main streethave been exceptionally beautiful and aromatic.Despite its beauty it can be an aggressive pest.

r My beds of Sweet Woodruff form a ground cover.I inhale deeply every time I pass by, but I have neverdecided what the wonderful scent reminds me of.Sweet Woodruff is used to make may wine.

r Lily of the Valley holds a mild but sweet scent.The problem is getting nose near flower, so to enjoy itsfragrance, plant it either in a raised bed or try severalin a large container.

r Lilac flowers are past in much of our area,although some may still be in bloom in Wise. Littlesmells as wonderful as lilac, and it seems to be analmost universal favorite.

Fragrant annual flowers can extend spring’s sweetscents into the summer garden.

r Heliotrope’s flower clusters smell like vanilla.This plant grows well in containers and with protec-tion it can keep over winter to be planted out again.

r Clove-scented Stock (Matthiola) comes in manyshades and colors. Definitely deadhead it or it will goto seed and stop blooming. Stock is valued as fragrantcut flowers, and it is especially suited to a cottage gar-den.

r Annual Sweet Alyssum is great as a border plantalong pathways, or spilling over the edge of a contain-er. It has an intense honey scent. Sweet Alyssum ben-efits from an occasional shearing so it doesn’t lookstraggly in hot weather.

r Chocolate Cosmos, like many chocolates, sends upa light vanilla fragrance. But don’t taste it—it is poi-sonous. Fragrance is most noticeable as summer daysheat up and when several flowers are in a clump.

r On cloudy days or as the sun sets, FloweringTobacco (Nicotiana) releases its scent. Possibly bestfor fragrance is the cultivar ‘Grandiflora.’ u

JOSH MCMURRAYSocial SecurityWise District Manager

Generations ago,retirement was thought ofas a time to take it easy—a time of rocking on porchchairs and reminiscingabout the good old days.But that isn’t the case withthe current generation ofretirees. In fact, manyolder people today contin-ue to rock on.

Just look at some of thesuperstars touring andperforming concerts thisyear who are old enoughto collect Social Securityretirement payments.They’re still rocking, butnot in chairs.

Bob Dylan is on tour, ashe usually is during sum-mer months. Dylan is 71years old. But with arecent album and newtour dates, you’d neverknow he was of retire-ment age.

Neil Young is touringwith Crazy Horse to sup-port their new album. The“godfather of grunge” is67. He’s become the “OldMan” he sang about in hisHarvest days.

Paul McCartney’s cur-rent “Out There” tourmay more appropriatelybe called his “Up There”tour. The former Beatle isnow age 70.

Willie Nelson is “Onthe Road Again.” Themusic icon is 79 years oldand seems to be on non-stop tour.

Aretha Franklin is 71.Carlos Santana is 65.Carly Simon is 67. MickJagger and KeithRichards are both 69, as isJoni Mitchell. LeonardCohen is 78. B.B. King is87. They’re all still per-forming their music.

Of course, some of

these well-known musi-cians may not be eligibleto receive Social Securitybenefits. But all of themare of retirement age. Sowhere are their rockingchairs and knitting nee-dles?

It’s hard to believe,looking at all of thesemature stars, that retire-ment used to be associat-ed with bridge and shuf-fleboard. It’s not justmusicians. In fact, manypeople decide to put offapplying for retirementbenefits. And even afterthey do begin collectingbenefits, many “retirees”prefer to keep working—or at least moving andshaking.

Most people know thatyou can begin collectingearly Social Security ben-efits at age 62, with areduction in the monthlyamount. The full retire-ment age is graduallygoing up from 66 for peo-ple born between 1943and 1954, to 67 for peopleborn in 1960 and later.

You can delay retire-ment even further andreceive a higher paymentwhen you retire, up untilyou reach age 70. Andanother thing that haschanged since the pastgeneration: you can con-tinue to work and stillreceive retirement bene-fits.

Learn more at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs.

When you’re ready toretire, apply from thecomfort of your homecomputer, with some ofyour favorite music blar-ing in the background.See a Retirement Plannerat www.socialsecurity.gov/retirement. Crank up thetunes, and start planningbefore you head out toyour next concert. u

KEN TAYLORNORTON UNITED METHODISTCHURCH

"Memorial Day” is a perfectopportunity to remember andhonor persons who died in serv-ice to our country. In our regionthis day is also called“Decoration Day” and it hasbecome an occasion to placeflowers of the graves of friendsand relatives. It is an awesomething to reflect on the lives ofpersons who lived in the past,especially our heroes, friendsand beloved relatives.

In recent years I have gradual-ly become more and more fond ofthe expression “passed on” toexpress the deep meaning andspiritual aspects of dying. WhenChristians depart this life or“pass on” they are alive with ourBlessed Lord and are “registeredin heaven” (Hebrews 12:23).The departed remain a vital partof the Church and our lives.They worship God (Revelations4:10) and become a great “cloudof witnesses” that surround us.

Remembering and honoringthe “saints” is way to stay con-nected with the countless per-sons who have lived before us.Writers and singers and storytellers give us so many opportu-nities to learn about our past.We are blessed to live in a regionthat respects and keeps a recordof the past. There is even anentire television channel devotedto history. Visiting a living his-tory museum, watching a docu-mentary about history or reading

a history book is an opportunityto learn about the past. Having aconversation and listening to anelder explain the traditions of thepast are an opportunity toincrease understanding.

We sometimes forget thatevery person is a living historybook, having experienced life ina unique and special way.Honoring the past can become away to improve our outlook oncurrent events, to learn tochange the course of events andto become a better person.

Days like “Memorial Day” canbecome opportunities to lookback at the past but they can alsobe times to help us mold and planthe future. All of us are unique-ly linked across time and history.By recalling and naming theimportant persons in our past wecan be challenged to becomemore like them. With God’shelp, in the fellowship of friends,family, community, and churchwe can struggle, overcome obsta-cles, win battles, solve problemsand celebrate life.

A traditional prayer related tothe saints says: “Their glory fillsus with joy, and their communionwith us in your Church gives usinspiration and strength as wehasten on our pilgrimage of faith,eager to meet them.” An oldgospel tune challenges us “Weare traveling in the footsteps ofthose who’ve gone before, andwe’ll all be reunited, on a newand sunlit shore. Oh, when thesaints go marching in, Lord, howI want to be in that number whenthe saints go marching in….” u

Every person is a living history book

Each year Wise, Scott,and Lee counties hold anarea contest for junior andintermediate 4-Hers.Contest areas includepublic speaking, presenta-tions, science fair, share-the-fun, and dramaticreading. This competitionprogram helps build stu-dents confidence speakingand presenting information in front of a group of people.

This year Wise County had 31 youth from grades 4-7compete at the contest. Kailey Kyle received a champi-on ribbon in the intermediate public speaking category.Shaylan Gross, Chloe Mooneyhan, Austin Scholbohn, Nick Raymond, Abi Maine, Patick Cantrell, and CarolineMullins all received championship ribbons in their respective presentation categories.
