Subject: trifoliate orange

I concur with Al and Sam that trifoliate orange is an invasive plant in Chatham County.  This species (Poncirus trifoliata, aka Citrus trifoliata) has invaded floodplains along Robeson Creek in Pittsboro (where it forms dense thickets), and I’ve seen it also in floodplains along Harlands Creek.  Because the fruits are “heavy” (and have lots of seeds), they usually drop to the ground below the parent plant where they produce many seedlings.  But when water is available to carry the fruits (as in a floodplain), they are capable of spreading downstream and invading new ground.

Subject: Thank you

Saturday’s 9th Annual ClydeFEST was an absolute success in every definition of the word! Based on unofficial counts, the turnout hovered around 1000 children, parents, and grandparents who enjoyed the authentic, homemade, county fair whimsy of ClydeFEST.  More importantly, the day made innumerable unforgettable happy memories for hundreds of citizens of Chatham County and beyond. There’s no better measure of success than that.

Subject: Northwood Bets on Guys & Dolls for Spring Musical

Will Nathan Detroit find a place for “The Oldest Established Permanent Floating Crap Game in New York” before Big Jule arrives? Will Miss Adelaide finally get Nathan to the alter after 14 years?  Will Sky get that Mission Doll Sgt. Sarah Brown to fly to Havana for DINNER? And most importantly, which is more popular—Mindy’s Cheesecake or Mindy’s Strudel?

The answers to these and other completely inconsequential questions will all be revealed when the Northwood Arts Education Department presents the 1950 Broadway classic, Guys & Dolls, March 25-27 at 7pm in Northwood’s Benjamin J. Lee Auditorium.
