Local Des Arc volunteers hold clean-up weekend
by Jaime Eans Volunteers from Des Arc High School participated in the City of Des Arc’s annual clean-up and beautification project on Saturday, September 21, 2019. Prairie County Judge, Mike Skarda, brought a crew with a front end loader to remove piles of tree limbs, bricks, and other debris. Scrap metal was removed. Eighteen additional volunteers met at DAHS working from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. freshening, trimming, and mowing the high school campus, its adjoining property, and the Preschool. Mowers included Eddie and Blakely Richards Lawn Service, Jesse Tackett’s Lawn Service, and Superintendent of Des Arc School District, George Kennedy.
Other volunteers weedeated, push mowed, trimmed hedges, weeded grass, and picked up 7 bags of litter on the school grounds. Two Des Arc Band students cleaned and
blew pine tree debris off the Preschool play area. Ben Eans, manager of Tri-County Farmers’ Cooperative in Des Arc, is recycling fifteen bus tires that were taken to Tri-
County by two Des Arc football team players. Greenway of Des Arc donated much appreciated ice cold water. Because we recognize that people are busy and
their weekend time is limited, we greatly appreciate each person who came to help on Saturday. The high school grounds look wonderful that’s to each of you.
