Arkansas’ summertime heat can be deadly

By Mary Alice Cole U of A System Division of Agriculture LITTLE ROCK -Summertime in Arkansas can be the happiest of times, but can turn deadly quickly without the correct knowledge about heat safety.

Whether at work or play, it’s easy to get carried away in the summer heat, ignoring symptoms that could lead to trouble.

“Most heat-related illnesses occur from being out in the heat for too long,” said Lisa Washburn, associate professor-health for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture.

The temperatures that are most critical are those with a heat index of 90 degrees or more. Heat index is a measure of how hot weather feels to the body. Relative humidity and air temperature are used to produce the index.

When the body is exposed to extreme heat, its first reaction is to sweat.

However, in high heat, and especially when the humidity is high, sweating is not enough to cool the body.

Washburn offers these tips to help stay safe: Those who work outdoors should take frequent breaks, either in the shade or the air conditioning.

Wear loose clothing that is lighter in color and fabric.

Inside, take advantage of air conditioning and fans to keep you cool. If you do not have access to either of those things, open the windows and use fans to keep the air moving.

RANGE OF ILLNESSES Heat can cause a range of illnesses, including: heat rash, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. Heat-related illnesses can have a greater effect on the very young and the very old, people with certain medical conditions, and people taking certain medications.

Individuals are also at risk due to their own occupation, such as farmers and construction workers who are outside in the heat and unshaded areas, and those who work in a very high-humidity environment.

WHAT IS HEAT EXHAUSTION? Heat exhaustion can

occur after prolonged exposure to high temperatures; the signs of heat exhaustion are pale skin, fatigue, weakness, dizziness, nausea, profuse sweating, rapid pulse, fast and shallow breathing and muscle cramps. If someone has heat exhaustion, seek medical treatment if symptoms worsen or last longer than one hour. In the meantime, have the person rest in an air-conditioned environment, take a cool shower, bath or sponge bath, and drink plenty of water or other fluids containing electrolytes. Heat exhaustion can lead to heat stroke.

When the heat index is high, the most important thing is to drink lots of water. When the temperature is 90 degrees or higher it is much easier to become dehydrated.

“A good rule of thumb is to drink a quart of fluids an hour if you are outside,” Washburn said. “On high heat index days, avoid caffeinated drinks and alcohol, which cause dehydration.”

WHAT IS HEAT STROKE? Heat stroke is a life-

threatening illness that is caused by the body overheating; it usually happens when the body is out in high temperatures for too long or when you are heavily active outside. The signs of heat stroke may vary, but may include a body temperature above 104 degrees, red, hot, and dry skin with no sweating; a rapid strong pulse; dizziness, nausea, confusion, and unconsciousness. If heat stroke is suspected, call for medical assistance and then try to cool down the victim.

My name is Rod Mosby, a Hazen High and Arkansas State University graduate. I walked on to the basketball team and took kinesiology courses at the University of Central Arkansas for athletic training. I have over 15 years of youth and college intramural coaching experience and am currently ranked #2 in the state of Arkansas with Coachup.com amongst active basketball skills trainers.

20/20 Basketball Camps are skill specific camps in which your children will experience intense, fun and invigorating basketball skills training. The shooting and scoring camp will teach enhanced ball handling moves for attacking the basket and a deeper understanding of proper shooting of the basketball.

The main goal of the camp is to make the coach's job a little bit easier by assisting in skill development and educating athletes to the point of mastery.

About 5 years ago I studied shooting the basketball and developed a method I coined "Midpoint Shooting."

While coaching at a multi-sport camp, Camp

Takajo in Naples, Maine, I published a small handbook that was so powerful that Dick Baumgartner, regarded as having the best basketball camp in Richmond, Indiana, and John Welch, a former NBA shooting instructor for the Denver Nuggets a representative for Pepsi, contacted me about it. I also shared this handbook with a shooting instructor from the Boston Celtics.

Developing muscle memory requires repetition.

This repetition can be done continuously, but I found that, for young

players, daily practice over time helps to maintain interest while still building fundamental skills. Playing basketball without mastering basic skills will only help you become better at running the floor and plays.

USDA Designates 7 Counties in Arkansas as Primary Natural Disaster Areas with Assistance to Producers in Surrounding States WASHINGTON, July 13, 2016 -The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has designated Ashley, Chicot, Fulton, Lawrence, Lonoke, White and Woodruff counties in Arkansas as primary natural disaster areas due to losses caused by excessive rain, flash flooding, flooding, hail, high winds, and lightning that occurred from March 8, 2016, and continues.

"Our hearts go out to those Arkansas farmers and ranchers affected by recent natural disasters," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.

"President Obama and I are committed to ensuring that agriculture remains a bright spot in our nation's economy by sustaining the successes of America's farmers, ranchers, and rural communities through these difficult times. We're also

telling Arkansas producers that USDA stands with you and your communities when severe weather and natural disasters threaten to disrupt your livelihood."

Farmers and ranchers in the following counties in Arkansas also qualify for natural disaster assistance because their counties are contiguous. Those counties are: Arkansas, Baxter, Bradley, Cleburn, Craighead, Cross, Desha, Drew, Faulkner, Greene, Independence, Izard, Jackson, Jefferson, Monroe, Prairie, Pulaski, Randolph, St. Francis, Sharp and Union Farmers and ranchers in the following counties in Louisiana, Mississippi and Missouri also qualify for natural disaster assistance because their counties are contiguous. Those counties are: LOUISIANA East Carroll, Morehouse, Union and West Carroll MISSISSIPPI Bolivar, Issaquena and Washington MISSOURI Howell, Oregon and Ozark All counties listed above were designated natural disaster areas on July 13, 2016, making all qualified farm operators in the designated areas eligible for

low interest emergency (EM) loans from USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA), provided eligibility requirements are met.

Farmers in eligible counties have eight months from the date of the declaration to apply for loans to help cover part of their actual losses. FSA will consider each loan application on its own merits, taking into account the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability. FSA has a variety of programs, in addition to the EM loan program, to help eligible farmers recover from adversity.

Other FSA programs

that can provide assistance, but do not require a disaster declaration, include the Emergency Conservation Program; Livestock Forage Disaster Program; Livestock Indemnity Program; Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm-Raised Fish Program; and the Tree Assistance Program.

Interested farmers may contact their local USDA Service Centers for further information on eligibility requirements and application procedures for these and other programs.

Additional information is also available online at

FSA news releases are available on FSA's website at www.fsa.usda.gov via the ''Newsroom" link.

Drumming Through the Fables Production - July 27 - 30 The original production, Drumming Through the Fables, is the result of requests from parents and grandparents for more theatrical productions that include children, and, would we please schedule this in the summer when kids are out of school?

Rather than using the

usual formula--rent a script--we built a team of artists and provided the space and materials to support creativity across multiple disciplines.

Stephanie Ong is an extraordinarily talented director and artist and, when she and I met to discuss how to approach this concept, we liked the idea of basing the produc-

tion on the morality tales of Aesop and Anansi. We also wanted to incorporate young people in the production's music and award winning Arkansas Artist in Education, Zinse Ag- ginie, was the obvious artist to bring into this endeavor. He started working with the Merrill

mer's play. This was possible, in part, thanks to a grant from Synergy Forum. We also wanted to push the envelope on new materials. The headdresses were made from WonderFlex, a marvelous material that can be shaped into lightweight free-form sculptures. Two artists did spectacular work on the headdresses, Breanna Adkins, a UAPB fashion design student, fulfilled a costume internship and Carlos Harrison, a graphic artist at UAPB, also worked on the headdress design and applied his sculpture experience and air-brush expertise to the project.

ASC's STEAM Studio, which is supported by Jr. League of Pine Bluff, and Saturday STEM, which is supported by Pine Bluff

Community Foundation, worked with LED lights throughout the year and this technology lights the

hornet's nest in one of the Anansi tales. The promotional video and props were built in the labs that Fifty for the Future is helping to fund with a workforce building grant.

The opportunities that combined to create this original play would not have been possible without Simmons Bank. This collaboration brought together artists from a variety of disciplines and generations providing entertainment for you and educational and creative problem solving for youth

in our community-Thank you for investing in the future.

The Arts & Science Center (ASC), located at 701 S. Main St. in Pine Bluff, is open TuesdayFriday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday from 1-4 p.m., and closed on Sunday and Monday.

Gallery admission is free.

UAPB Fish Health Inspection Laboratory Holds Open House and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

By Debbie Archer, communications section leader UAPB School of Agriculture, Fisheries and Human Sciences LONOKE, Arkansas Arkansas politicians, university officials and local fish producers spoke about the importance of fish health certification services provided by the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff Fish Health Inspection Laboratory during an Open House and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony held recently.

Located in Lonoke, Arkansas, the lab is one of eleven facilities nationwide approved by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to conduct diagnostic testing that enables producers to obtain health certification for the export of aquaculture species, according to Dr. Anita Kelly, associate director and interim director, fish health services, Aquaculture Fisheries Center of Excellence and Extension fish health specialist.

"The APHIS approved lab helps Arkansas pro-

ducers receive the certification needed to ship their fish nationally and internationally, she said.

"The lab provides prompt service as specialists test each fish species a producer sells for viruses identified by the World Organization for Animal Health. " Dr. Laurence B. Alexander, UAPB chancellor, said the opening of the Lonoke lab is possible after hard work, dedication and the support of many.

"Today is a day of pride, promise and prosperity for the Golden Lion Nation at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff," Dr. Alexander said. "We are thankful that this day has finally arrived after months of hard work and dedication. There are many who have contributed to this day in one way or another."

Senator Jonathan Dismang, President Pro Tempore, Arkansas Senate, said the Lonoke laboratory is of particular importance because of the impact of aquaculture in Arkansas.

"(Aquaculture) is a $160 million industry. We produce 80 percent of the U.S. baitfish here in Arkansas," Sen. Dismang said. "Making sure we have the APHIS certification ability to ship fish out around the country and even the world is critical to our community here and to our economy locally."

Arkansas Secretary of Agriculture Wes Ward said that agriculture is the largest industry in Arkansas with one in every six jobs in the state being tied to agriculture.

"The aquaculture industry is a very important piece of the overall agriculture industry," Secretary Ward said. "We have a lot to be proud of in our aquaculture industry. Our overall agriculture community is strong because of our ability to work together. Arkansas is strong because of our ability to work together."

Dr. Eric Park, president, Arkansas Bait and Ornamental Fish Growers Association, and Arkansas fish producer, said that 6 billion baitfish are produced every year

Consumer Alert SCAMMERS GOING FOR THE GOLD THIS SUMMER From Attorney General Leslie Rutledge

LITTLE ROCK – The 2016 Summer Olympics are coming up, and many Arkansans are eagerly waiting to watch the events from the comfort of their own homes. Even though many of us are not making the trip to Rio de Janeiro, con artists are still looking for ways to scam fans.

Scammers are using phishing attacks to solicit sensitive, personal information through email. At first it appears to be a legitimate advertisement, even using terms like “Rio” or “Rio2016,” but do not click on any links or open any attachments in unsolicited emails because they could contain malware, which can steal log in information, as well as expose you to identity theft.

Meanwhile, some scammers are sending fake emails saying the recipient has won the Olympics lottery, including a grand prize of a trip to Brazil to watch the summer games. But remember it is a scam if you never

entered the contest. You cannot win a lottery you never entered.

Another scam that could reach those Olympic fans staying stateside is counterfeit merchandise.

Scammers try to capitalize on Americans’ desire to show team spirit by advertising clothing or Olympic souvenirs. Make sure the website is a legitimate Olympic retailer, and use a credit card instead of a debit card to make any online purchases because it offers additional protections.

Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge issued today’s consumer alert to help Arkansans to not fall victim to any of these scams.

“Many Arkansans plan to show their support for Team U.S.A. in the coming weeks,” said Attorney General Rutledge. “It is critical though that we all remember to be smart consumers and protect our personal and financial information.”

Attorney General Rutledge released the fol-

lowing tips to help spot fake websites and emails about this summer’s Olympic Games: Check the page for bad grammar and spelling mistakes.

Do not move forward with the transaction if they only take payment through online currency or wire transfers.

Use caution if the offer sounds too good to be true.

Review the site’s privacy policy before submitting any personal or financial information.

Read the comments and reviews section and take note of negative feedback.

For more information on steps to take if your identity has been stolen and other consumer-related issues or to file a consumer complaint, contact the Attorney General's office at (800) 482-8982 or consumer@arkansasag.go v or visit ArkansasAG.gov or facebook.com/AGLeslieRutled ge.
