The 50-year-old Greenwood resident’s life experiences have forged a strong desire in her to always help and encourage children. That ongoing drive to better herself and help better others very well could have stemmed from her own adoption. When she was 4, Tina and her siblings were taken out for ice cream by their father. What initially felt like a normal family outing took an unexpected metaphorical turn on the way home. “My dad announced, “Well girls, I love you, but you’re not going to see me after this,’” Tina said. When she was 5, Tina pulled back a curtain to peer out of a window, only to see her mother climb into a car and drive out of her life. Three lonely days later, representatives from Social Services were called to help Tina and her seven siblings, who would be placed into the care of Tina’s grandmother on a farm in Booneville. “She became our forever hero,” Tina said of her late grandmother, Mary Ellen Harding. “She had two commercial chicken houses, gardens, orchards, livestock and ponds, and she taught us to work hard. She was a strong lady and did the best she could for us.” Tina and her sister, Traci, would be adopted by Danny Scharbor.

“Our forever hero” Grandma, Mary Ellen Harding, with eight grandchildren she raised for ﬁve years. Tina is pictured second from the right in the front row.

Tina’s adoption day at Greenwood Court House on August 6, 1979.

“We gained a sister, Holly, and a mom, Connie, too at that time,” Tina said. “It took decades to realize that adoption didn’t mean you hadn’t been lovable; in reality, it meant our birth parents were just incapable — selfish — of loving us,” she added. “I work with a lot of kiddos and my childhood has helped me know just how to help certain children. For that, I am grateful, and adopted or not, every child wants to matter to the adults around them.” Overcoming her parents abandonment was not the only obstacle to overcome in her young life. Following her 19th birthday, Tina became severely ill. Medical officials wrongly guessed it was flu before erroneously thinking her symptoms were caused by pregnancy. She later was diagnosed with neuroblastoma with a teratoma core.

“After a tumor the size of a grapefruit was removed, I was scheduled for 20 rounds of chemotherapy in Little Rock over a four-month period,” she said. „I started my senior year of college without a stitch of hair.” A wig and a scarf became what Tina called her „glam look” that fall season. Following a second surgery from scar tissue, she was declared cancer-free. “A cherished memory of Danny Scharbor is when I woke up after one of my cancer surgeries scared and in pain ... (he) sat quietly by my bed all night without ever saying a word,” Tina said. Those early life lessons are a significant driving forces behind her motivation to help area children. As executive director for Preschool Extraordinaire, a nonprofit child-care center in Greenwood that serves about 120 area children, Tina has made it a priority to help educate and inspire children each day. Tina and her husband of 32 years, Kelvin, did all of the planning and a large portion of the building of Preschool

Extraordinaire themselves. She even wired the intercom system for the preschool. The school follows a faithbased curriculum and currently has four classes of 4-year-old children, three classes of 3-year-old children and one class for 2-year-olds. “We have themed classrooms and school themes each week,” said Tina, who graduated from Greenwood High School in 1986 and Arkansas Tech University in 1989. “Our goal is to make these children leaders in kindergarten. “And we are completely self-sufficient,” she added of Preschool Extraordinaire.”We could apply for more grants and help, but then we would have to abandon the Christian aspect of our nonprofit. I just can’t do that.” During a recent tour of Preschool Extraordinaire, Tina was greeted and hugged by many of the young children who attend the facility. “Miss Tina! You and my mom are friends!” shouted one young girl before she wrapped her tiny arms around Tina’s right leg.

A couple seconds after seeing Tina enter his classroom, a young boy stood up and walked over to her. He showed Tina the baby doll he was carrying before burying his head and shoulders into Tina’s pant legs for a hug. “Yes, this one is a hugger,” Tina said while grinning. “Our mission is to focus on the children. The children are the priority.” Tina also finds time to utilize her large, home-based commercial kitchen, baking cakes, pies and cookies for the Dari, a diner in Greenwood. The avid fan of Christian singer-songwriter Matthew West and authorspeaker Max Lucado also caters weddings and large parties, and at one time, she hosted an after-school mentoring program for girls ages 11-16. “The girls loved having a place to just talk,” said Tina, who is a member of the Greenwood Education Foundation and attends Harvest Time in Fort Smith. “We cooked and we talked about what was important to them.” Tina then paused for a few seconds. “I might possibly start that mentoring program up again,” she said. “That is for sure a possibility.” The story of how Tina met her husband seemingly always brings a smile to both of their faces. Their threeyear courtship began inches away from the Greenwood High School basketball court. “I had a friend, whose name shall remain anonymous, who was sitting by Tina, and I was sitting on the other side of my friend,” Kelvin said. Tina initially thought the boy sitting next to her was interested in her, until he surprised her by saying, “I’m going to go sit with other friends instead.” Seconds after the boy vacated the seat, Kelvin scooted over and began a lengthy, friendly conversation with Tina.

Tina Skaggs, chef and executive director of Catering Extraordinaire in Greenwood works in her private commercial kitchen, dubbed Cakes by the Lake.

Tina married Kelvin in 1987 and eventually would see the arrival of their son, Morgan, and two daughters, Savannah and Bethany. Tina and Kelvin remain focused on their own children, just like the children at Preschool Extraordinaire. “This is how you work to build strong children,” she said. “Your strengths become their strengths. “There are haters out there but you have to ignore them,” Tina added. “You just have to stay positive and surround yourself with positive people.” When asked if her busy work schedule ever interferes with her sleep schedule, Tina laughed and closed her eyes.

“For years, I have been telling my husband, ‘Before I die, I want to live on water.’ This past year, he made that dream come true. Having friends over, sharing meals and laughter, kids swimming and ﬁshing — that is my bucket list!” — Tina Skaggs

“No,” she said while still smiling. “Whenever I’m tired, I’ll just take a nap, and then I get up and I work some more.”

“It was pretty quick, yes,” Kelvin said of his chemistry with Tina. “I saw those beautiful blue eyes and that was it. She had me.”

CityNews ROUND-UP Compiled and Written by Thomas Saccente

PARKS COMMISSION The Greenwood Parks Commission voted to accept the resignation of City Parks Director Nathan Neighbors during a special called meeting March 25, according to Greenwood Clerk/Treasurer Sharla Derry. Derry said the commission also voted to install Tammy Briley, executive assistant to the mayor/human resources, to oversee the parks for 30 days in a directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absence, with former Greenwood Parks Director Richard McKinney being a paid consultant if needed.

deadline for finding a full-time replacement for the position, Derry said. Neighbors had been on the job since Jan. 1, 2018.

CITY COUNCIL The future of sanitation services in Greenwood was a top priority for the Greenwood City Council during its April meeting. In March, the council approved a motion to terminate its contract with Altes Sanitation and rebid it, with an effective date for the new contract of June 1. The council voted 3-3, with Mayor Doug Kinslow breaking the tie.

“We didn’t want to get rid of the Bulldog name and lose that tradition.” Michelle Vowell CO-OWNER OF WANDA’S WAGON WHEEL AND NEW CO-OWNER TO THE NEW GREENWOOD BULLDOG GRILL

Greenwood has a contract with Altes Sanitation for three years, which began in September 2017. “So what we did was, by the council’s discussion and approval of doing so, we initiated the 30-day (notice), but we gave them until June 1 to be finished, if you will,” Kinslow said. “I’ve not heard from Altes Sanitation. They are still currently picking up our trash.” After 30 days, Kinslow said, Altes Sanitation can be finished with providing its services to the city, or the company could stay until June 1. Tammy Briley, executive assistant to the mayor/human resources, said the letter was mailed to Altes Sanitation on March 15. Among those in attendance Monday were Jason Fitzgerald of Central Arkansas Recycling and Disposal Services, Heath Borum and Virgil Smith of MSG Waste & Refus, and Kevin Gardner with Orion Waste Solutions. Kinslow said after the March 4 meeting he informed Altes Sanitation of the decision that was made then by telephone. City Attorney Mike Hamby provided a letter for the city to send to Altes Sanitation through Kinslow’s office. Kinslow said the city’s sanitation contract is missing certain details Fitzgerald, Borum, Smith and Gardner seem to believe should be in it. This includes a oneyear lockout for the sanitation vendor, meaning the company cannot approach the city in the first year once the contract is signed for any rate increases. Another of these facets were penalties for situations such as a lack of service, bad service or things going wrong in the pickup of trash. “And I understand from talking to these gentlemen because they’ve been all very upfront with me and I appreciate that conversation with all of you ...,” Kinslow

said. “They’ve all called me and talked to me, and they know that we’ve not gone out for bid, that they’re all showing interest, and I told them if I were them, I would come to council and get in front of you guys and let you put a name with a face.”

“They spent the first three months just cleaning,” Michelle Vowell, Jeremy’s wife, said April 2. “They’ve been at this since last August. There’s been a lot of elbow grease put into it, along with some blood, sweat and tears.”

Other than the lack of the two aforementioned features, Kinslow said he believes the city sanitation contract is “pretty good.” The City Council was given the opportunity to ask the company representatives questions during the discussion.

Much of the work will probably go unnoticed to the casual hungry visitor, because a lot of the more expensive upgrades were in the kitchen with all new vent hoods, fire suppression and electrical work. But they also repainted pretty much every square inch of the place, inside and out. A grinder was needed to expose metal on some kitchen parts because so much grease had built up over the years. The Bulldog Diner closed in July 2018.

The aldermen on Monday approved a motion to pass the third reading of an ordinance providing standards for possession, storage, transporting, handling and use of explosive material, as well as establishing certain conditions relative to detonation of explosive material. The next regular Greenwood City Council meeting will be May 6.

NEW RESTAURANTS Several new restaurants in Greenwood are either under construction, in the planning stages, or ready to open. In addition to a Domino’s Pizza under construction at 933 W. Center St. and a Waffle House in the planning stages next door at 1005 W. Center St., the Greenwood Bulldog Grill is set to re-open in mid- to late April after extensive renovations downtown on Main Street. Jeremy Vowell and his uncle Darrell Vowell of Bob & Wanda’s Wagon Wheel fame in Barling and Alma have spent the better part of the past year renovating the former Bulldog Diner at 3 Main St. in Greenwood and turning it into the Bulldog Grill.

Although the Vowells have such a close connection to the Bob & Wanda’s Wagon Wheel restaurants in Barling and Alma, they chose not to go that route and make it a “third wheel.” “We didn’t want to get rid of the Bulldog name and lose that tradition,” Michelle Vowell said. Patrons of the all new Bulldog Grill will still find some things familiar, including 15 tables and about 60 chairs. But there are about 20 new employees for the restaurant, and a photo of Jeremy Vowell’s grandparents, Robert and Wanda Vowell, hanging behind the cash register. The senior Vowells rant the Village Inn on the Greenwood Square for many years. Hours of the new Bulldog Grill will be 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Breakfast will be served all day, with chocolate gravy as a special side. Other items on the menu will include steaks, cheeseburgers, and fried catfish.

Gooodbye to the Old and Hello to the New By Drucilla Hughart It is always hard, saying goodbye to an old friend, although I always welcome a new friend. Thus it is with the Greenwood Democrat. For almost ninety years it has been part of my life. How much fun it was when I was growing up and had a birthday party or one of my friends had one you could read all about it in the Democrat. If you were lucky you got your picture in the paper. If a girl got married in a Church Wedding her picture was in the paper telling all about it. Describing her wedding gown and the flowers she was carrying and the reception. There was always the local news from Burnsville, Dayton, Washburn, Milltown, Jenny Lind and other communities. You always knew who had visited who, what family had killed hogs or had made a garden. You always knew who had canned beans, what ladies had gathered together to quilt a quilt. It was fun to read. Then along came television, computers where most people get their news. Few people kill hogs or can beans. Things that used to interest people just doesn’t seem to matter anymore. With television, computers and cell phones people are more interested in what’s going on in politics than in their neighborhood. I look back to when the late Charles Chaney and the late Max Cline were type setters for the Democrat. I

can tell you the office was in a tizzy on the day the paper was published. Among those working at the Democrat besides Earl and Jerry Dodd was Betty Moore Mayo. I always thought the Democrat office was an exciting place although it was not one of the places that I visited frequently. It will be my pleasure to write a monthly column for the new GREENWOOD LIFE as it has been to write a weekly column for the Democrat for the past twentyseven years. A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to all my Faithful Readers. On a brighter note it seems like Spring is just around the corner. What corner? I don’t know but I found a tiny Bluet beside the drive this morning. A good sign Spring is on it’s way. It reminded me of a poem Mama wrote March 4, 1942 called BLUETS. “Yesterday I found bluets upon the hill, Today the world is white and still, But the sun will shine again, Bluets or snow , One thing I know, It will soon be spring.” (There was a big snow the next day.) Today the sun is shining and there is green appearing on the trees. My shingles pain is BETTER and as Mama used to say, “Life Flows on Like Thompson’s Brook.”

To have known him

By Mary Ann Gamble

I never knew my Grandpa, But it’s always been a wish; With a nice, soft lap to sit on And a whiskered face to kiss. With work-worn hands to hold on to, A gruffy voice that sang, Someone who laughed, kicked up his heels, And didn’t complain of pain. Someone who didn’t dress up much Just ordinary clothes; With maybe a rag in his pocket, The he used to wipe his nose. With dingling change in his pocket In case I’d want a dime, But just for every-once-in-a-while, Not for all the time. Money wouldn’t mean that much If I’d have full access, To most of his attention, And he said he liked me best. I know I’d have to share him And I’d try to do it right, And although hard as it might be, I’d try with all my might. With just a tinge of jealousy Of all other kin, I would not ask the question To see them...if he’d been. I’d act just like I didn’t care As long as love received, Was from his heart and really meant At the moment...just for me.

Domino’s Coming to Greenwood By Scott Cutlip

CONTRIBUTING WRITTER

Henley’s Place. Amy’s Gyros. Chop Sticks. Patron Mexican Grill. El Tequila Salsa. The Smokin’ Barrel. Shipwrecked Fish and Chips. Each of these restaurants existed for a time at 933 West Center Street in Greenwood. Eventually each one of them closed, except for El Tequila Salsa, which moved down the road a bit. The strip mall of four suites, which also houses a Fantastic Sams and K. T. Nails, seems resistant to restaurants. So what makes Domino’s any different? According to Mack Landthrip, owner of the new Domino’s store, it’s not as much about the restaurant as it is about the relationship Domino’s establishes with its customers. “We really don’t have customers; we have friends,” he said. “We try to create a relationship with our friends. We’re gonna make mistakes, but who forgives you before anybody else? It’s your friends.” In addition, Landthrip noted there weren’t a lot of buildings available in Greenwood. He had looked at getting the suite before, but it had already been leased. A few months later, it was available again. The layout of the building does work out well, with the proposed drive-thru portion facing the road and semi-circular access to the drive-thru.

APRIL 2019 | GREENWOODARLIFE.COM |

WHEN CONFRONTED WITH THE PREVIOUS RESTAURANTS THAT DID NOT LAST AT THIS LOCATION, HE SAID, “IT’S NOT EVEN IN MY EQUATION.”

While the new Domino’s isn’t quite stocked and ready to go, manager Mack Landthrip says it will look nearly identical to the one on Grand Avenue, pictured here.

Sonny Bell, city planning director, said there was at least one other building that had an existing drive-thru and others that could have been converted, but did not it was hard to find existing buildings that conform to all the needs of a business.

Thomas, Cucina, which has been open for three years, stands out because of their fresh ingredients, including seasoning they ground up themselves. “I think Pizza Hut will be hurt the most,” Thomas said, but said there was room for everybody.

Landthrip, who has worked in the pizza business for 36 years, after starting as a delivery driver in college, is the operations manager for 29 Domino’s stores in Northwest Arkansas. He knows about making mistakes and asking forgiveness, mentioning the famous 2010 commercials in which the CEO admits the faults customers have found with Domino’s pizzas. It was a striking admission.

Landthrip’s concept of Domino’s as more than just employees and customers is not an empty gesture. The store will be managed by his son, Ross Landthrip, who has worked for Domino’s twelve years himself.

It was also one that worked. Domino’s changed nearly everything, from their sauce to the equipment they baked on to their delivery methods. At the time of the commercials, Domino’s stock was selling for $11 a share; now it’s selling for about $245 a share.

Landthrip, who grew up in Van Buren, believes Domino’s will be successful because of its brand recognition, but also because “it’s really hometown franchisees; it’s local people.” According to Landthrip, most Domino’s owners come through Domino’s internal system. In fact, of the brand’s stores, of which No. 16,000 opened at the beginning of March, 90 percent are owned by people who started from within Domino’s. It is difficult for outsiders, although not impossible, to own a store.

Landthrip seems to share Domino’s willingness to go against the grain. When confronted with the previous restaurants that did not last at this location, he said, “it’s not even in my equation.” The thought of being the sixth pizza restaurant in Greenwood, with a population of roughly 9,000, doesn’t faze him, either.

“We even answer our phones differently. ‘Thank you for choosing Domino’s. This is Mack. How you doing?’” Landthrip said. Landthrip talked about how his wife recounted how a trip to Chick-fil-A after a a bad day brightened because the personable and friendly nature of the cashier, and it’s something that has stuck with him.

“I know the industry, and I know Domino’s,” he said. “The brand is really strong.” Landthrip pointed out that the average household income in Greenwood is high, and that towns such as Witcherville, Huntington, and Mansfield have been hoping for a nearby Domino’s.

Domino’s is known for delivery or carryout, and Landthrip plans to carry out that tradition, but the store will also have tables and bar seating for customers to enjoy their pizza and other food items in the store. Landthrip also plans to put up a chalkboard in the store, for children to draw and play games on.

Barry Thomas, co-owner of Cucina with his wife Debra, doesn’t think Domino’s presents much of a threat. “We have the best pizza in town,” he said. According to

Landthrip expects the Greenwood Domino’s to open in mid-May.

Construction and remodeling work continues on the next new restaurant for 933 West Center Street, which is expected to open as a new Domino’s Pizza in mid-May.

Kayla & Hayden

SMITH

Married Nov. 3, 2018 at The Loft at Stone Oak in Greenwood Kayla Thomas and Hayden Smith are both from Fort Smith. Kayla’s parents are Pam Thompson and Kenny and Stacy Thames of Greenwood. Hayden’s parents are Rusty and Terri Smith of Greenwood.

How did you meet? We actually both grew up in Greenwood, but it wasn’t until college that we started dating. I went to the University of Arkansas, and Hayden went to University of Central Arkansas. Hayden happened to be in Fayetteville for the weekend visiting a friend during U of A Homecoming. All of the sororities were lined up at the bottom of Dickson Street ready to walk in the Homecoming parade, and I saw Hayden on the back of his friend’s scooter. I went over to talk to him, wearing my tutu and all (it was customary to dress up for the parade), and he asked me to hang out later that night after the homecoming pep rally. We hung out that night. The next day he put in for a transfer to the University of Arkansas, and the rest is history.

How did he propose? Every year Hayden’s family takes photos for Christmas cards. After five years of dating, I was basically part of the family, so I was included in these photos. I had been included in the photos for the previous three years, so this was nothing new. We would usually do group photos and then some individual couple photos. “We decided” to take our couples photo in front of the big heart they have painted on the side of their barn. Little did I know this was the plan all along. Our photographer, Kim Singer, was telling us how beautiful of a couple we were. She asked if she was ever going to have to opportunity to take our engagement photos one day. Hayden said, “Well maybe if she would say ‘Yes.’” I replied, “Well maybe if you would ask me!” He got down on his knee and said, “How about I ask you right now?” Of course I said yes, and all of our friends and family who had traveled near and far

ourselves, and shared a private dinner together before joining everyone at the reception. Rather than having a formal dinner, we had food stations that consisted of “build your own” tacos, pasta, loaded mashed potatoes and sushi. We spent the evening eating cake, enjoying the cigar bar, being silly in the photo booth and dancing the night away. We even had our first dance painted live by Greenwood local, Teri Hicks. It was amazing. The day wouldn’t have been possible without our friends and family, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day.

Where was your Honeymoon?

came driving up, and walking out of the woods. We had a huge crab boil, celebrated and spent the evening with our favorite people!

We went on a “Minimoon” as we like to call it. We took a quick trip to Eureka Springs to relax after all of the excitement from the wedding. We stayed in an Air Bed and Breakfast that was a quaint little cabin tucked back in the woods. It had a hot tub on the back deck overlooking the trees, and it was the perfect place to just unwind. We explored the town, shopped and ate some of the best meals of our lives. It is such a unique place to visit, we definitely plan to go back. We plan on taking a longer honeymoon this year (hopefully somewhere tropical), so we are excited for that as well.

What was your wedding day like? The only way to describe it is perfect. Everything down to the very last detail was exactly how I dreamt it would be. Hayden’s parents own The Loft and Hayden actually helped build it, so the venue was a no-brainer. We had a neutral color palette with pops of blush and wine and tons of greenery. We had the most beautiful floral installations and arrangements, and we even added touches of duck feathers because Hayden is an avid duck hunter. We spent the day separately, each with our closest friends and family getting ready for our the best day of our lives. Once I was finally able to see Hayden, it’s like the day went into fast forward. Frankie Post officiated our ceremony, and it was simple, sweet and beautiful. After we said “I Do” we actually got a moment to

A PATCHWORK OF

By Carole Medlock CONTRIBUTING WRITER

MEMORIES Behind every quilt there is a story … and a memory or two. Talking quilts enables Sydney Goodwin to reminisce about her grandmother, Mary Annette Dillahunty. “Grandmother always had a quilting frame set up in her living room. The only time it wasn’t there was when she was expecting company,” Goodwin said. Goodwin, a retired teacher and school counselor, is loaning a quilt that dates back to the 1800s for display during the Airing of the Quilts event, slated to take place in Greenwood in May. Members of the public will be able to view quilts at three locations around town during the weekend event.

APRIL 2019 | GREENWOODARLIFE.COM |

Greenwood Life

The vintage quilt, made by her great-grandmother, Patience Pearl Mantle Williams, will be displayed at the Old Jail House Museum in downtown Greenwood, along with other vintage pieces. Goodwin said the 1889 quilt is made from bonnet, apron and dress scraps from garments that were worn by her great-grandmother. Handed down through generations, it was given to Goodwin by her grandmother. It is the woman behind the quilt that Goodwin says is of most importance to her. “The most interesting part of (the story) to me was that my great-grandmother walked on the Trail of Tears from North Carolina to Indian Territory,” Goodwin said. Oral tradition says that Patience, originally from Cherokee, North Carolina, was relocated with her particular tribe to what is pres-

ent-day Oklahoma. It was there that she met her husband-to-be, an Army man. The couple eventually landed in Sebastian County. Goodwin described the quilt as a Bear’s Paw pattern in different colors of blue with a bark-dyed backing. She said the stitching is not fancy or uniform as would be seen in a contemporary quilt. She keeps the quilt in a cedar chest or closet to combat further aging of the piece, but it has been displayed before at the Airing of the Quilts and even at the Fort Smith Museum of History for a period of time. Another vintage quilt to be displayed at the event was a gift to its current owner - but with a catch. Dorothy Nixon said one of her quilts to be displayed was a gift from her grandmother-in-law, Clara Agnes Miller McNees. But the quilt was not given to Nixon and her husband until they had been married for 20 years.

A quilt titled Storm at Sea was the second quilt made by Letha Wilson in 1959 and is one of the “Airing of the Quilts” feature displays this year. The design gives the illusion of curves, but all straight line pieces were used to make the quilt. —Photo by Brian Sanderford

“She wanted to be sure we were going to make it, because she had put so much work into (the quilt),” Nixon said. “I always thought that was funny.” That quilt is one of four that Nixon will loan for display. One of the oldest pieces available for viewing will be a coverlet that dates back to 1822; a covering made by McNees’ father’s mother (or McNees’ grandmother). Nixon said she heard the story about the coverlet from McNees, who lived with her and her husband for several years. The flax from which the coverlet is made was home grown, spun into thread and then hand woven to make the coverlet. The coverlet gets its navy blue color from being dyed with berry juice. Nixon said McNees said the color was set with family urine. “She always told true stories,” Nixon said, “but that seemed a little drastic even to us.”

The “Bear Paw Quilt,” created in 1889 by Patience Pearl Mantle Williams will be displayed at the Old Jail House Museum in downtown Greenwood, along with other vintage pieces as part of the annual Airing of the Quilts Festival that runs Friday, May 3 through Saturday, May 4 in Greenwood. —Photo courtesy of Sydney Goodwin

It was later on a trip to Williamsburg that Nixon said she visited with someone who corroborated the story. She was told that a more modern type of the same process for setting color in fabric is utilized today using uric acid tablets; the

concept is the same. “It was nice to have that confirmation,” NIxon said. Other pieces that Nixon will have on display include a five-generations quilt and her baby quilt. The five-generations quilt was crafted by Nixon’s grandmother, Stella Buckingham Hearn. It was made in October of 1932 after Nixon was born in August of the same year. The family had five generations living until Nixon was seven years old, she said. Nixon said although her name is spelled “Dorothy” on her birth certificate, on the blanket it is misspelled, leaving out the second “O” in her name. In addition to loaning family heirlooms for display, Nixon said she will be playing the mountain dulcimer during the quilt show. Musicians dress in period clothing and will play in a couple of locations throughout the weekend. At 87 years old, Nixon hasn’t slowed down. “I have a very full life,” Nixon said. The Airing of the Quilts will take place on May 3rd and 4th in Greenwood.

Spring Forward g t d

‘AIRING OF THE QUILTS’ CELEBRATES 10 YEARS

With a lineup of quilts dating back to the Civil War, the City of Greenwood will usher in spring next month with the Airing of the Quilts. The historic tradition serves as a fundraiser for the South Sebastian County Historical Society, providing money for the maintenance and upkeep of the Old Jail Museum Complex in downtown Greenwood. Members of the Alpha Delta chapter of the Epsilon Sigma Alpha sorority sponsor the event, which facilitates the display of quilts at three locations around town, said Donna Goldstein, member of ESA.

The event will celebrate its 10th anniversary Friday, May 3 and Saturday, May 4 in Greenwood, a part of a larger event that honors the seasonal opening of the buildings of the Old Jail Complex. Goldstein said the event gets its name from a time when, after a long winter’s use, quilts needed to be freshened. At the onset of spring, quilts would be laid out in the fresh air and sunshine, which became known as the “airing of the quilts.” Vintage quilts will be displayed at the Old Jail, and other quilts, vintage up to 1990, will be displayed at the Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church, according to Emily

Mitchusson, retired teacher and former curator of the Old Jail Complex. All of the vintage quilts have been hand-quilted and most have been hand-pieced; there is a Civil War Era quilt, as well as pieces from the 1880s and the 1890s. Mitchusson said vintage quilts are provided by ladies in the community, most of which have been handed down through family generations. “When you go to get the quilt, they start telling you stories. They give the quilts prominence,” said Mitchusson. A third location in town, the Sen-

ator Ed Wilkinson Pavillon at Bell Park, will display contemporary quilts. There is no cost to view quilts at the Old Jail or Presbyterian Church, but to view quilts at Bell Park there is an admission of $5 per person. There is also a ladies lunch each day between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m each day at the Pavillon. The cost for the meal is $8 per person. Kay Voss, ESA member and committee member of the inaugural event in 2010, said everyone can identify with the quilts. “Quilting is one subject that everyone recognizes,” Voss said. “Men, women, children, all recognize quilting.”

She said the idea of the Airing of the Quilts fits into the cause of the historical society nicely. “Quilts are meaningful to families across generations,” she said. Ann Akins, treasurer of ESA, explained the sorority is a philanthropic organization that supports local, state and international projects as well as providing college scholarships. The South Sebastian Historical Society is the local organization the body supports. “The South Sebastian County Historical Society was organized in 1963,” according to President Rick Hendrix, „to preserve and showcase our heritage. We appreciate the efforts of ESA members and

our volunteers in creating a successful Quilt Show and Museum Opening each year. The funds generated help with the costs of operation and support special projects.” At present, ESA has only five members. Because of its small size, Akins said volunteers from other organizations, like the historical society and Belle Pointe Quilters Guild, are vital to the success of the event. A special exhibit displaying quilts by Donna Moreton will be a part of the Bell Park experience. Voss said Moreton was chosen for the quality of her award winning quilts. She is known for whimsical quilts, applique and calendar quilts. About 12 of her pieces will be available for viewing.

There are events both days in conjunction with the opening of the Jail Museum that include Civil War & US Marshal reenactors, the firing of a Civil War cannon, blacksmith demonstrations and dulcimer playing, among others, Mitchusson said. The event has grown in each of its 10 years, with visitors attending from 11 states, according to Meryl Ware, vice president of the historical society. Greenwood residents are encouraged to join the festivities by displaying any quilts they may have on their porch that weekend for visitors of the quilt show.

FEATURED WRITER

NEW BOOK RELEASE Nancy Glenn Powell

This creative nonfiction book, is based on the adult life of Samuel Glenn, the author’s great, great grandfather. He was a Christian man of many talents — a farmer, hostler, blacksmith, cooper, tanner and shoemaker. Striving to avoid the effects of an anticipated war, he took his wife and 10 children from Georgia to Arkansas in 1852. Yet, the dreaded war spread into Arkansas and Samuel had six sons to fight—two for the Confederates, three for the Union, and one forced into service by the Home Guard. One son and two sons-in-law did not return. In Arkansas, Samuel hoped to build a thriving horse farm. Before the war began, he sold horses to the Union Army, but would not sell his brood mares and stallion. However, along with other livestock, his horses were stolen before the end of the war, and brutal attempts were made to take his savings. Before the war, the family hid food in a concealed cellar under the house. Samuel and his family shared their food with widows in the community and took two orphans into their home, but near the war’s end, they were all hungry enough to eat weeds, a turtle and other animals they would not previously have considered

as food for humans. Despite the hard times he continued to help the less fortunate, and defied a warning by the KKK to help a former slave family build a house. Powell, who retired from the City of Fort Smith after 29 years as traffic coordinator, has previously published six books. The first three are based on her mother’s life. “Dark Secrets” (originally called Ollie’s Angels) won first place in the 2010 Oklahoma Writers’ Federation, Inc, Mainstream Novel Contest. “Angels for All” won third place in the 2010 OWFI nonfiction category—it tells the story of an Arkansas farm family during the Great Depression. “Listen for the Angels” tells the hardships of a farm family during the drought years following the Great Depression.

@¥e Ó@|áne n Ó ªª -ì@ áþ ìÓ¥ áìÓn

The Keepers Series—“Whom Shall I Fear,” “Protecting the Innocent,” and “Pursued” are inspirational suspense novels with a human trafficking theme. Powell grew up on a farm in Arkansas with six sisters and one brother. Powell is married, the mother of two children and is a member of the Church of Christ, Greenwood Writers, River Valley Writers of Fort Smith, the Oklahoma Writers Federation, INcorporated and the Roundtable Poets of Arkansas. “Where Grass Grows High …” is available from Amazon Books and major bookstores. The paperback sells for $15, and the e-book is available for $2.99.

MARCH/APRIL

ARTIST OF THE MONTH

Julie Mayser

Julie Mayser was selected by the Greenwood Art Guild as the feature artist of the month for both March and April. Mayser received her first art schooling at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago, Ill. Subsequently she studied at Carl Albert State College in Poteau and at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Ok. She has also studied with leading artist-teachers in the U.S. and Europe, continuing her art education into the present. Mayser paintings are in private, public and corporate collections across the U.S. She also has private collections in Canada, Europe and Asia. Recent collectors are former Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin, former Fort Smith Mayor Ray Baker, the Fort Smith Convention Center and the Arkansas Sheriffs’ Youth Ranches. Her paintings may be seen in galleries in Fort Smith, Rogers, Bentonville and Eureka Springs, as well as in special exhibits. "My reason for being a painter comes down to a few basics; My love of nature, the positive beautiful glimpses of life which surround us, and wanting to share these personal visions and joy with the viewer,” Mayser said. “I find my greatest fulfillment when my art has touched a person’s heart. Through the use of vibrant color and selective amplification and interpretation, I hope to convey to the viewer the vision of the beauty I see." To inquire or see more of Julie's works of art, contact her at jampaints@centurytel. net or www.artwanted.com/juliemayser. The Greenwood Art Guild meets at 6 p.m. every second Thursday of the month in the Community Room at the main branch of Farmer's Bank in Greenwood. Visitors are welcome.

HOMETOWN HERO: Beth McDaniel

By Scott Cutlip CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Beth McDaniel has been a nurse for 54 years, including the last 10 as a nurse at Greenwood High School. The most common phrase said to her is, “I thought the nurse’s job was just checking for head lice and handing out band-aids.” But, in fact, it’s much more than that. Sometimes it’s routine. Sometimes it isn’t. Students come to the office repeatedly for headaches or stomach illness. “I always wonder if there’s some deep-seated issue going on,” she said. Oftentimes, they don’t really have a headache. At those times, she might refer the student to a counselor or mental health specialist. McDaniel sees 35 - 40 students each day. The reasons might include vomiting, sore throats, diabetes, seizures, screenings for hearing and vision and handling injuries for both students and staff.

QUICK FACTS ON Beth McDaniel •

Grew up in Mansfield

•

Married high-school sweetheart Glenn McDaniel after nursing school

•

Has three children and eight grandchildren

•

Went to Sparks for three years and then got her Bachelors from the College of the Ozarks in 1956

McDaniel, in many ways, is the first line of defense in emergencies for the school. On top of caring for the growing teens of Greenwood, McDaniel teaches the staff CPR, including teachers, bus drivers and cafeteria workers. She also teaches CPR to high-school seniors, who must have it to graduate. The stress level is not the same as at the hospital where she worked in surgery for 30 years, but there is stress and worry about the students. Some aren’t being cared for properly. Some aren’t taking routine medications as they should. “You want to help these kids,” she said. “Sometimes you can; sometimes you can’t.”

A group of students at East Pointe Elementary is walking the halls with a little more swagger, the result of a new program that has taken off in a big way. Twelve fourth-grade students, members of the inaugural East Pointe Elementary Robotics Team, recently finished as runners-up at the state VEX Robotics Championships. They fell just one point shy of having the chance to be named state champions. By Carole Medlock

“If you don’t put a ceiling on kids, then they will amaze you at what they can do.” Josh Ray EAST POINTE PRINCIPAL

East Pointe Principal Josh Ray said the accomplishment caught the attention of their peers. “These kids have achieved a kind of rock star status (at school). They have followers. Kids want to be them,” Ray said. Sherlett Myers, a fourth-grade science teacher and one of two coaches who took on the challenge of launching the robotics team, said although she knew that students would enjoy a robotics team, she could never have predicted the impact it would have on team members. “They have grown as leaders,” Myers said. “I think

I was most proud of them at their interview (at competition). They were eager to share … and answer those questions.” Kristin Motley, third-grade science teacher and robotics coach, said she saw members of the team experience “tremendous growth” in the areas of problem solving and teamwork as a result of their participation. She also touted the VEX Robotics community for their support of one another. “Everybody works as a big team,” Motley said, recalling a competition at which a competing team loaned the East Pointe team a controller when theirs was not working.

The initial vision for the program was a team of eight students, Myers said. But after receiving more than 60 applications from students who wished to participate, a few more spots were added. The final team was comprised of 12 members; nine boys and three girls. With so many students submitting applications, Motley said the selection became a surprising first hurdle that had to be jumped in starting the team. Fourth-grade students Micah Cowart and Hayes Whitson said they wanted to join the team because

of their interest in driving radio control cars. “I usually work well with others and enjoy being on a team,” Whitson added. Motley said submitted applications were scored with rubric, a scoring guide ensuring consistent criteria for evaluation. But other factors were also taken into consideration, including writing skills, the ability to meet weekly, teamwork skills, and an aptitude and enjoyment for working with VEX pieces already in use in science classrooms. Both Cowart and Whitson fulfilled the role of

“driver” during the season along with team member Alex Vanderwatt, who said he joined because of his love for science, driving things and working with others to solve problems. While everyone contributed when it came to building the robots, team members contributed in different ways at competitions, based on their demonstrated strengths. Two other team members, Drew Williams and Noah Myers were responsible for much of the team’s coding. Williams explained he enjoyed working with the blocks and variables involved in coding the VEX

robot, changing them based on what the robot needed to do. He added that much of the coding work involved learning by trial and error. In addition to his coding responsibilities, Myers also kept the team notebook. With future plans to be a coder/programmer, possibly working with prosthetics or other robots designed to help people, Myers said he learned many lessons by being responsible for the task. Faith Short, East Pointe assistant principal, said today’s employers are often looking for soft skills like the ability to collaborate, being a team player and problem solving in addition to academic skills an

applicant may possess. She said participating in robotics has facilitated that type of learning as well as encouraging team members to think outside the box. Ray said the creation of the robotics team was a “next logical step” stemming from a vision for science education at East Pointe Elementary. As a part of a new curriculum, Myers and Motley were already using robotics pieces in their classrooms to build simple machines and complete classroom projects. While educators did not know what to expect from the new endeavor, Ray said they learned something valuable.

“If you don’t put a ceiling on kids, then they will amaze you at what they can do,” he said. Myers and Motley said they are in the process of building next year’s team, using this year’s team members as mentors in the process. No current team members will be returning. They are all slated to "graduate" from East Pointe at the end of the year. Ray said the school hopes to grow the program, but what that looks like remains to be seen. “We want to offer (robotics) to as many kids as possible, but I don’t want to do it at the expense of doing it well,” Ray said.

Pathways to STEM Klaire Holland to Take Part in Envision’s National Youth Leadership Forum This summer, Klaire Holland from Greenwood, will join outstanding elementary school students from across the state to take part in a unique academic and career oriented development experience, the National Youth Leadership Forum (NYLF): Pathways to STEM, taking place in Dallas, TX at The University of Texas. NYLF Pathways to STEM is one of the Envision family of programs (www. envisionexperience.com) that enable students to explore their interests and experience learning beyond the classroom. Klaire was nominated by the fourth grade teachers at East Pointe Elementary. In addition to participating on the robotics team, Klaire participates in the Art Buddies program, and Quiz bowl and was the East Pointe Spelling Bee Champion. Klaire loves to play volleyball, tennis, and swim. She loves to participate in activities at her church. Klaire is excited about learning new things and being exposed to STEM activities. “As an alumna of Envision myself, I am

excited for Klaire to meet, work, and collaborate with fellow high-aspiring students from other cities and schools,” said Amanda Freitag Thomas, SVP and GM for Envision. “Hands down, my favorite part of attending an Envision program was being with motivated students in an environment designed to help us challenge our assumptions, meet new people, and grow. Creating that same learning environment is a central focus for all of our programs. At NYLF Pathways to

STEM, students build the confidence and skills needed to excel in the classroom while gaining exposure to STEM fields and concepts. They learn how to adapt to and communicate in new situations, to new challenges, and with new people, which, given how rapidly the world is changing due to technology and innovation, are essential skills for success.” Since 1985, Envision programs have served more than 800,000 students in more than 145 countries, with programs designed to help students develop the leadership, scholarship and career skills needed to succeed in today’s competitive college and career landscape.

Baseball: Greenwood 12, Booneville 1 (March 14)

SPORTS

Preston Jurecka hit a two-run homer and added an RBI triple to power Greenwood to a 12-1 win over Booneville.

ROUND UP

Nick Phelps threw a three-hit complete game with 10 strikeouts. Peyton Holt was 3-for-3 with three runs scored. Nick Vaughn added a two-run double, and Colton Sagely singled home two runs. Greenwood’s Matthew Munday and Jayden Jasna added RBI singles. Brandon Ulmer drove in the Bearcats’ lone run. Softball: Greenwood 11, Paris 1 (March 14) In the top of the first inning of Thursday’s game, the Greenwood Lady Bulldogs experienced a rarity, trailing their opponent. Not for long, though. The Lady Bulldogs answered in their half of the first with five runs to take control. Greenwood went on to an 11-1 run-rule win in six innings against Paris in a non-conference game between two of the top softball programs in the area. “They (Paris) are a very good team and one through nine, they put the ball in play. ... We were a little shaky on defense, there were a couple of plays we should have made that gave them their run but we stepped up and made some big plays,” Greenwood coach Ronnie Sockey said.

Baseball: Greenwood 3, Little Rock Christian 1 Little Rock Christian 11, Greenwood 5 (March 11) Landry Jurecka struck out four and pitched around a couple of errors as Greenwood defeated Little Rock Christian, 3-1, in the first game of Monday’s 5A-West doubleheader. The Warriors won the nightcap 11-5. Jurecka, who posted an 8-0 record with a splashy 1.75 earned run average in 2018, won his second game in a row following season-opening loss to Van Buren. Jurecka also came up big at the plate. Following Nick Vaughn’s RBI single, Jurecka yanked a long two-out, two-run double to left to give the Bulldogs a 3-0 lead after an inning of play. The right-hander might have pitched a shutout had it not been for an errant pick-off throw, allowing speedy Warrior outfielder M.J. Loggins to sprint to third base with one out.

Arvest Kicks Off Ninth Year of Fighting Hunger Spring Campaign Means More Food and Funds in Summer Months Arvest Bank’s Million Meals initiative challenges bank associates, customers and community members to participate in fundraising efforts and nonperishable food drives to fight hunger in the more than 135 communities the bank serves. The initiative is needed, as Arkansas ranks second among the most food-insecure states in the nation, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Arvest will kicked off the two-month, bank-wide effort April 1 to provide at least one million meals to local, hungry families, and it will continue through June 1. The initiative will conclude later that month, when donations are presented to 70-plus locally selected organizations that feed the hungry in their communities. Arvest in Greenwood has partnered with Community Services Clearinghouse and Bulldog Breakfast Club for the duration of the initiative. All donations received will go to these food partners to help provide meals to local, hungry families. Greenwood and surrounding communities can participate in Million Meals by dropping off nonperishable food items or making monetary donations at any of the Arvest branches or calling (866) 952-9523 or us-

ing the Arvest Go mobile app. Every dollar raised through Million Meals provides the equivalent of five meals for those in need. “Kicking off our Million Meals campaign is always an exciting time,” Roger Holroyd, Arvest Bank president for the Fort Smith and River Valley Region said. “Our associates look forward to joining our food partners, our customers and the community to fight hunger, and it’s nice to know the donations we raise here will stay local.” Arvest is conducting its annual initiative in the spring again this year due to the fact food banks report an increased need for food items in the summer, when many children do not have the benefit of eating meals at the schools they attend. According to the Food Research and Action Center, for example, the average daily student participation in the Summer Nutrition Program in Arkansas is just 10.7 percent of the average daily student participation in the National School Lunch Program. Donations to food banks also tend to be lower in the spring and summer than at other times of the year. For more information about Million Meals, visit arvest. com.
