Carlisle City Council is warned baseball program in danger By Debbye Harrison The Carlisle City Council met February 23. Ronnie Ashmore, Parks and Recreation Director, warned Council Members that the summer baseball season is in danger of not taking place due to lack of participation. He reported that at the present time there have been only 44 sign up. In order to field the same teams as the years before, at least 100 children of all ages are needed. The last two years have had 175 to 180 participants. Ashmore said that the COVID 19 restrictions are primarily to blame for the lack of interest. The CDC requires that masks be worn by everyone and that social distancing is observed. These will be strictly enforced with the help of volunteers. Further, the number of fans will be limited for each ball player. Larry Flynn, council member, shared that he will not be able to see his grandchildren play
(in another city) this summer because they are only allowed two visitors at a game. Ashmore has taken 250 registration forms to the elementary school hoping that this will encourage participation. The deadline for registration is The Council has taken under consideration the ordinance concerning the amount of deposit for city water. Renters, particularly, have been leaving without paying their water bill in full and the deposit does not cover it. The $50 that Carlisle charges is less than surrounding towns and has left the city with mounting deficits. Council members will review the current ordinance at the next meeting. Budget matters included the purchase of a compressor for the Fire Department. The Department will qualify for a 50 per cent grant for $45,000. The rest of the cost has been approved in the Fire Department budget.

By the U of A System Division of Agriculture Contact: Shea Wilson smwilson@uada.edu 870-998-2614 If you’ve been looking for a good reason to start working off that “quarantine 15” or cure winter’s cabin fever, registration is open for the spring 2021 edition of Walk Across Arkansas. Walk Across Arkansas begins March 15 and will run for eight weeks. Registration is easy and there’s no cost. Visit https://walk.uada.edu. The twice-a-year public health event attracts scores of teams from all over Arkansas. Last year, the 218 teams from both the spring and fall editions racked up 1.45 million minutes of exercise. Even though it’s called Walk Across Arkansas, any type of intentional activity is encouraged, just as long as participants log their active minutes. People can participate as individuals or as part of a team of co-workers, friends or even the people in your “COVID bubble.” Past teams have engaged in friendly competitions – further encouraging team members to be active. "Walk Across Arkansas is a great opportunity to work on increasing physical activity and creating connections with your team,” said Heather Jackson, extension program associatehealth for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture. “Over the course of this free online, eight-week program, everyone is invited to improve their health."

Pandemic impacts Bryan Mader, assistant professor and extension health specialist for the Division of Agriculture, said that the pandemic has made its mark on our exercise habits, and often not in a good way. “Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us have not been able to get the amount of physical activity we need to stay
healthy—gyms have been closed and home workout equipment can be costly,” he said. “One solution that does not require a membership nor any expensive equipment is walking. “Walking is one of the best ways to maintain our health. Walking and other physical activity has been shown to aid in weight loss, reduce high blood pressure, reduce risk for type 2 diabetes, heart attack, and cancer and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety,” Mader said. “We recommend 150 minutes of physical activity each week. That’s just about 20 minutes per day of walking to improve your health!” The best part, Mader said, is that Walk Across Arkansas “is open to everyone, regardless of age.” Be sure to consult with your physician before starting any exercise program.

Knock, knock; someone’s in trouble...
by Dr. James L. Snyder

For some reason, the last several weeks we have been getting many visitors at our door. I'm not sure if this is a general trend or if it is just our door. Some of them have been salesmen, religious people, scam artists, and a host of other people. They only had one goal in mind, and that was to get our money. I guess I have not realized how wealthy I am. Everybody wants my money. If they only knew how little money I had, they would be running away from our house. I can't even get my money because I'm not sure where it is. This year the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and I will have been married 50 years. I think my wife married me for my money, but in the last 50 years, she has not found any of it. I'll give her another 50 years, and then we are going to have to reexamine the situation. When she does find it, we will take a vacation to Hawaii. Money we have not, and the more they pester us for our money, the more frustration we acquire. If they want frustration, we have
plenty of that and are more than happy to give it to them. My wife and I are very frugal when it comes to money because we do not have that much. But the money we do have will stay in our account and not be given to somebody who wants to sell us an extended car warranty policy. Every time they call about that, I have something I want to extend to them, and it is not money. When someone calls on the phone, you can always hang up or not even answer it. When somebody knocks on your door, you do not have that kind of choice. You do not know who is there or what they want. It might be somebody scoping the neighborhood for a house to rob. Because my wife knows everybody in the neighborhood, as soon as someone knocks at our door and almost before the door is closed, she has texted everybody on the street to be aware of someone coming to knock on the door. It is great when a neighborhood hangs together. Once two Jehovah's Witnesses came to our
door, and I happened to answer it. They introduced themselves, then I introduced myself as a pastor and began a sermon right there at the front door. I have 100 sermons in my mind ready to use. I kept preaching, and they tried to interrupt, but you can never interrupt a preacher. Before I got to the end of my sermon, they turned around and walked away as fast as I have ever seen anybody walk away. After all, they came to my door. Then we had several men come by wanting to come inside and show us how solar energy could save us a bundle of money. Fortunately, for us, it was the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage that answers the door for them. If you think you can get in our house and get by her, you really have not gotten up this morning and had your coffee. A few weeks ago, it was getting terrible. Almost every day, someone was at the door knocking. I usually handle the phone calls, and she handles the door. I could see she was getting frustrated, and I
understood, quite severely. She just finished making our lunch, and we just sat down and began to enjoy our lunch together. Then, someone knocked at the door. My wife sighed very deeply and said, "Whoever that is, I'm going to give them a piece of my mind. I'm tired of this." Although we had prayed for our lunch, I was now ready to pray for whoever was at the front door. On several occasions, I have had a piece of her mind. It's not a pretty sight. She has enough mind to give to many people, and I was very concerned about the people at the front door. "I don't care who you are. I don't care what you're selling. I don't want it, and I want you to leave and never come back again." With that, he slammed the door shut and walked away. "Who was at the door?" She just looked at me and then said, "I don't know, but I gave them a piece of my mind." I was chuckling underneath, trying not to let it come to the surface for any recognition.
“Are you sure,” I said as serious as I could maintain, “that you gave them the right piece of your mind?” She just stared at me, “What do you mean?” “Are you sure you did not give them the left piece of your mind?” She finally smiled and then said, “No, I’m saving that piece for you.” I was smiling on the outside but not on the inside. I was honored that she has a special piece of her mind for me, but I have no idea what it will be and when it will come my way. I thought of the Scripture along this line. “And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise” (Luke 6:31). I think this is hard to do for many reasons. God can give me the strength to do this for his honor and glory. Dr. James L. Snyder is pastor of the Family of God Fellowship, 1471 Pine Road, Ocala, FL 34472.
