Notes from the Clearing
Joey Thomas
Every note floated out like butterflies. The weight of the instrument, the burden of gravity, the bills that she didn’t have the money for; all lost beneath the love for the note. The key was all that was important. The melody was all that mattered anymore. The flow of feeling through her body was a song itself. And the song, was living. She would stop and put it down eventually, but it wouldn’t stay down long, because it is what powered the other moments; the in-between agony of relationship drama, the drive to live recklessly and fight the world. This was her peace.

Today our community leaders had the opportunity to appreciate and say thank you to all our first responders, fire fighters, and EMTs that selflessly serve their districts. Fellowship with our local heroes made for a great day. Thank you to all!!

WE see you Cleburne County Responds Appreciation Day
The Cleburne County Quorum Court held a special event for volunteer first responders and fire fighters. We grilled burgers and hot dogs and socialized. Several local businesses and individuals donated to make the event possible. Fire trucks, ambulances, and even a helicopter ambulance were on display. Proving the worth of the people who help us, there was even a call which involved a helicopter ride to the hospital by Survival flight. All of us in Cleburne County owe a debt of gratitude to the many volunteers and paid employees who respond when called. The event included prizes and contests of bean bag toss and hula hoops. The weather was great and the event was fun for all. If anyone wants to join these great organizations, please contact them and sign up.

This event was great, in my opinion. Most of the time we only see or interact with members from other departments in the county when there is an emergency. This event was a nice break from that aspect of our jobs. On behalf of the Heber Springs Fire Department, we would like to say thank you to all of those that put in the work to make this event happen and we hope there will be more things like this in the future.
