Prairie County EHC leaders attend U of A Extension training on Arkansas ballot issues The Prairie County Extension Service hosted a training on the 2018 Arkansas ballot issues for Extension Homemakers Club (EHC) members on August 28 in the county courthouse in DeValls Bluff. Kristin Higgins from the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture Public Policy Center conducted the training.

The training was provided to help county EHC members understand how issues get on the ballot in Arkansas and what the passing of each of the ballot issues would mean to Arkansas citizens.

Higgins emphasized that voters need to use critical thinking skills to avoid misinformation or disinformation concerning the ballot issues. She said that Arkansans should determine who is behind the information about each issue, what the evidence for their position is, and what other sources say about the issue. She offered three online sources for ballot information: the Extension Service website (www.uaex.edu/balot), the Arkansas Secretary of State’s Voter View (www.voterview.arnova.org), and the Arkansas Ethics C o m m i s s i o n (222.arkansasethics.com).

Mass flu vaccine clinics announced (Little Rock, Ark.) – On Monday September 24, the Prairie County Health Unit of the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) will offer flu vaccinations at The Hazen United Methodist Church, N. Hazen Avenue, Hazen, Arkansas from 7:30am to 5:30pm.

People should bring their insurance cards with them to the flu vaccine clinic. If they do not have insurance, or the insurance does not cover flu shots, the vaccine will be available at no charge.

“We want Prairie County residents to stay healthy this flu season, and getting a yearly flu vaccination is the best line of defense,” Rose Marie Knupp, Prairie

County Health Unit Administrator, said. “We encourage everyone to come to the mass clinic or the local health unit to get their flu shot.”

Annual flu vaccination is recommended for most adults and children six months and older. The flu virus changes from year to year, and this year’s vaccine protects against the flu viruses that are expected to cause the most illness this flu season.

“The flu should not be taken lightly,” said Dirk Haselow, MD, State Epidemiologist at ADH. “We are encouraging everyone to get a flu shot to protect themselves and their families, because it is hard to predict in advance how severe the flu season is going to be.”

People of all ages can get the flu. Certain people are more likely to have serious health problems if they get the flu.

This includes older adults, young children, pregnant women, people with chronic health conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease), people who smoke, and people who live in nursing homes.

Therefore, ADH strongly recommends that people in these groups get a flu vaccine. It is also recommended that friends, family members and people who provide care to people in these groups also get a vaccine—not only to protect themselves but also to decrease the possibility that they might expose the people they love and care for to the flu.

The flu vaccine is safe and does not cause the flu. Some people may have mild soreness and redness near the site of the shot and a low fever or slight headache. There are very few medical reasons to skip the flu vaccine. These include lifethreatening allergic reactions to a previous dose of the flu vaccine or an ingredient in the vaccine.

People with allergies to vaccine ingredients can often receive the vaccine safely, if it is given in a doctor’s office where they can be monitored.

The flu is easily spread through coughing or sneezing and by touching something, such as a door knob, with the virus on it, and then touching their nose or mouth.

Good hand washing habits are important in preventing the flu; however, the best way to prevent the flu is to get the vaccine.

Lawana Shuck and Sue Palsa present ASD teacher, Jamie Rusher and her two classroom aides bibs made and donated by the Prairie Piecemakers Quilt Club. Students present for the presentation were Alice, Bentlee, King, and Anthony.

Prairie Piecemakers support students at the Arkansas School for the Deaf

by Lawana Lambert Schuck The Arkansas School for the Deaf (ASD) which is located at 2400 West Markham in Little Rock was founded in 1850 and is the only school in Arkansas for students who are deaf or hard of hearing. According the ASD website it is one of Arkansas’ oldest schools and is the “oldest school for the deaf west of the Mississippi.” Today many of the ASD students live in dormitories on campus and attend classes daily. The school serves students in Pre-K through post-secondary education.

The Prairie Piecemakers

quilt club learned through ASD counselor, Melanie Brown, that the Special Education teacher for PreK students–ages 4 and 5 was looking for help in acquiring bibs for her students to use during meal times. The Piecemakers knew that this was just the type of service project that they enjoyed; so they quickly purchased the necessary materials and made 25 bibs out of white terrycloth hand towels for this self-contained classroom.

On August 23rd, Prairie Piecemaker President Lawana Shuck and VicePresident – Sue Palsa visited the ASD campus and presented the bibs to a

very enthusiastic and appreciative teacher, Jamie Rusher and her two classroom aides. The students were also excited to “try on” their new bibs.

Prairie Piecemakers is

an Extension Homemakers special interest club which meets at the Prairie County Fair Building. The next meeting is October 15 at 1:00 p.m..

Extension Service to provide Walk Across Arkansas classes

by Shea Wilson DeValls Bluff - A majority of Americans don’t reach their daily exercise goals, but a program called Walk Across Arkansas could be changing that for Arkansas residents.

Lisa Washburn, Associate professorhealth for the University of Arkansas Division System of Agriculture Cooperative Extension Service, said this is a great opportunity for everyone to exercise.

“Walk Across Arkansas is an 8-week program designed to help people increase their physical activity levels,” she says.

“Teams of 2 to 10 people can participate and pool their minutes of exercise to compete against other teams in their county and across the state.

There is also an individual registration option for those unable to gather a team.”

Teams can exercise together or separately, and there is a new rule regarding the youth teams.

“This year youth teams can have up to 20 participants,” said Washburn.

Walking isn’t the only way to get exercise minutes, despite what the program is named.

“Walk is in the program name, but folks can engage in a variety of exercise types – cycling, jogging, swimming, aerobics – and report their

total minutes of exercise,” said Washburn.

This program is open to anyone who is interested according to Washburn.

“We encourage families, school groups, faith-based groups, and others to form a team to encourage each other to increase physical activity through the course of the 8-week program,” she said.

Why should groups join? There are many challenges in today’s world that prevent people of all ages from getting quality exercise time.

“Most Americans do not get enough the recommended 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each week.

Additionally, many youth don’t have adequate time for physical activity within the school day and may need an extra push to get the 60 minutes recommended each day,” said Washburn.

If you are already physically active Walk Across Arkansas can still be something of interest.

“People who are already active and looking for ways to help others live healthier lives can look to Walk Across Arkansas as an opportunity to encourage others in establishing a new, healthy exercise habit,” said Washburn.

Benefits range from overall better individual health to group support.

“Past program participants say they enjoyed

the camaraderie shared with team members, in addition to a host of health benefits, like increased energy levels and better sleep. Some participants lose weight, but benefits of regular exercise extend far beyond the number on a scale. Regular exercise can reduce risk for cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. And for those who already have chronic conditions like diabetes or high cholesterol, walking is often recommended as a way to improve health,” said Washburn.

Walk Across Arkansas is eight weeks long and begins on September 16.

The course ends November 10, and all minutes of exercise need to be reported by November 19.

Registration is September 4-12 and can be found at https://walk.uaex.edu.

Contact the Prairie County Cooperative Extension Service at 870998-2614 or email Shea Wilson at smwilson@uaex.edu for more information.

Katie Reynolds was also hired as a substitute worker for the cafeteria.

Jon Alexander was made the baseball coach and Hunter Vincent was made the track coach for the 2018-2019 school year. Coach Clint Honnoll was reassigned to other duties, but those duties were not discussed by the board.

Crowder recommended that the board enter into a tuition agreement with The Sunshine School to provide educational services for two students at a cost of $23,180 for the fall semester of the present school year. The board approved the recommendation unanimously. The board also, in accordance with state law, approved local resolutions to do business with local vendors who are directly related to district staff members.

Crowder announced that Hazen High School has received a math award for high growth in math from the 2016 school year to the 2017 school year. The ninth grade Algebra class that achieved the honor was taught by Angie Cagle. The class overall math scores grew from below 20 percent proficient and advanced to over 40 percent proficient and advanced. Crowder also said that more repairs had been completed on the self-contained special education room, including an added awning and underpinning.

High School Principal Clint Williams said that fall school pictures will be taken on September 19 and that the Juniors will be ordering their senior rings on September 14.

The superintendent was asked about the outsourcing of the food in the cafeteria. Financial officer Sarah Snider told the board that “outsourcing would not be cost effective.” She stated that the cafeteria presently is ahead in their expenses by $46,000.

With no other business, the board adjourned.
