Council members discuss new lighting, hear complaint, oppose property offer Bradley Ward, representing Energy of Arkansas, introduced Des Arc City Council members to the CitySmart program Tuesday nightr at the regular council meeting. Ward said, “This program would provide an incentive to install more energy efficient equipment.” To take advntage of more efficient lighting, Ward would replace all the original fixtures with more energy efficient ones (LED lights). Ward also proposed proposal replacing lights on the walking trail as well as the fixtures in the city offices. For the walking trail lights, the cost would be $1,800.00 with an incentive of $1,189.21. The cost for the offices, according to Ward, would be $7,000.00 with an incentive of $3,264.00. “The incentives are based on the energy reduction (kWh) for each project,” Ward said. He avised that the city of Berryville, Ark. had already taken advantage of this program as well of most

businesses around the town. Council members voted 6 to 0 to adopt both proposals presented by Ward. Delcie Davis addressed the council with a complain regarding the city’s gate on the levee which Davis says is on her property. Mayor Jim Garth explained said that the gate was placed there to keep traffic off the levee as requested by the Corp of Engineers. He said, “The Corp of Engineers has a right of way on the property.” Davis wants the city to take care of the “damage done to my property” when the gate was put up and for damages done by the traffic that now goes around the gate. She was also concerned about some trees that were destroyed. Mayor Garth said, “Tickets are being issued to anyone caught going around the gate.” He advised that the trees would have to come down because the Corp of Engi-

neers requires the city to cut down trees and keep the levee cleaned up. The city has a right of way of 15 ft. from the toe of the levee, according to Mayor Garth. Davis told the council that said she would be consulting a on the matter of damages. Mayor Garth presented several matters of concern including a problem that the utility office was having with people asking for multiple extensions on their water bills. After a discussion on the issue, the council agreed that henceforth only one extension will be allowed. Mayor Garth advised that the City of Bradford had made an offer of $17,000 for the two old police cars. The council voted 5 to 0 to accept the offer. Mayor Garth advised that Ronald Eans has offered the city the old hotel property on Main St. (2 lots) for $10,000. Eans purchased the old Des Arc Hotel property located at 4th andMain Streets sometime ago and razed the

building. After some discussion, the council members voted 5 to 0 unanimously to turn down the offer. Mayor Garth advised that the security cameras for the utility office wqerehere and ready to be installed. Following the business session, council members listened to various reports. Police: Chief Rick Parson’s report included 15 traffic citations, four felony charges, and 12 misdemeanor charges. He also mentioned that Steamboat Days went very smoothly this year with no problems for the police department. Alderman Steve Bryan reported that natural gas prices are steady right now. Water & Sewer Department superintendent Jerry Greenwood said, “We had a a pretty good leak at North Prairie but it was capped off.” Street: Alderman Welton Robinson discussed some stopped up ditches. Mayor Garth said that he would have someone come

look at it the next day. Collections for the city’s ambulance service are moving up some, according to Mayor Garth. Mayor Garth said the backhoe was back but still not fixed. He said the county had someone whocould work on it. Animal Control: Officer Dewayne Mayher reported that he had picked up two dogs that were reclaimed by their owners and 2 warnings were issued. Other council members at the June 21 meeting were Alderwoman Anna Beth Fisher, Alderwoman Janice Huffstickler, Alderman Ray McVay and Alderman Bruce Sutton (arrived late), andAlderman Bryan, Alderwoman Fisher, Alderwoman Huffstickler, Alderman McVay, Alderman Sutton (arrived late), and Rec./Treas.

“Dump Trump”

(USPS 682-800)

Could a “Dump Trump” movement take hold among the Arkansans headed to the GOP nominating convention? “Yes,” was the emphatic answer of State Rep. Bob Ballinger of Hindsville, a Ted Cruz delegate, who said his reading of party rules already permitted the “vote of conscience” that Speaker Paul Ryan has tacitly encouraged of delegates. “If (Trump) continues to be ‘The Donald’ that he’s been he’ll not only lose to the most unpopular Democratic nominee in history but drag down the entire Republican ticket.” On the other hand, said Ballinger, “If he grows up, Trump could walk away with the nomination.” By “growing up” Ballinger envisioned Trump, well, moderating, behaving like a serious candidate: stopping his attacks on judges, women, Latinos and Muslims and any other group he deems red meat for the angry and fearful who have powered Trump to the very edge of his party’s nomination, subject only to the formality of convention ratification. There was anxiety aplenty among Republican regulars even before Trump took the largest share of votes in Arkansas’s primary in March, pushing past Marco Rubio, the favorite of the state’s GOP establishment, and Cruz, who was counting on Christian conservatives, who instead fractured. The anxiety long ago escalated to panic, so much so that Republicans rightly fearful of a November meltdown, a debacle that could cost their party control of the Senate, are maneuvering to change the rules to permit the nomination of a candidate other than Trump. There is, put mildly, basis for their fears. Fresh polling reveals Trump “disapproved” by a stunning majority, north of 70 percent, substantially higher than his rival’s unenviable 55 percent. The latest campaign finance reports show Trump with less than $2 million in the bank, or about five percent of Hillary Clinton’s treasury -- and 20 percent less than Bernie Sanders. Trump has virtually no organization worthy of the name and fires senior staff at a dizzying rate. Ballinger says he is “certain” there will be more discussions among the delegates from Arkansas, at least those pledged to Cruz or Rubio, about alternatives to Trump. (A spokesman for Attorney General Leslie Rutledge, the highest ranking Arkansas Republican pledged to Trump, says she has not been approached about a rules change. “She has said from the beginning of this process that she would support the Republican nominee and Mr. Trump is the presumptive nominee,” said her press officer, Judd Deere. A bit of wiggle room there?). The chaos that is the Trump campaign, the political carnage it appears likely to engender, has prompted renewed speculation about The Donald’s commitment to his own cause. Does Trump really want to be president of the United States? “He wants to be elected, sure, but does he want to serve?” asks Fred Hiatt in the [begin ital] Washington Post [end ital]. “(E)ven he knows he's way over his head, and he's more surprised than anyone that he's doing so well among Republican voters in the polls,” contends Peter Dreier of [begin ital] Talking Points Memo [end ital]. “Oh, he wants to run for president. Almost certainly wants to win. Probably wants to be inaugurated. But doing the actual job? That’s something else,” believes Jonathan Bernstein of [begin ital] Bloomberg View [end ital]. Liberals, sure. But consider some voices from the center right, the quite right of center and the hard right: “He's not taking this seriously,” says Holman Jenkins of the [begin ital] Wall Street Journal [end ital] says of Trump[‘s campaign. “He has not broadened his appeal like he's said he was going to. He's not toned down his rhetoric like we hoped he would. Does he really want to be president, I ask myself." “Running for president is a fulltime job, but Trump certainly doesn’t show any sign of putting long days and nights hitting the briefing books, attending county fairs and reaching out to people beyond his base,” sniffs Linda Chavez, she of Fox News and a Reagan administration official. “There is no reason to doubt that Trump sincerely wanted to shake up this election. But there are now too many reasons to doubt he really wants to win it,” says Michael Dougherty in [begin ital] The Week [end ital]. And there’s room for the “Manchurian Candidate,” or Trojan Horse conspiracy theory, presumably with tongue-in-cheek. Rob Garver of the [begin ital] Fiscal Times [end ital], for example: “There’s the idea that Trump is a deep-cover mole that the Democratic Party planted in the GOP. His history of liberal positions on various issues, all recently changed, fuel the idea that his candidacy is a sort of time bomb, set to explode at a time most advantageous to Democrats.” It’s a little late for Trump to “grow up,” assuming he could; and a “Stop Trump” effort would produce a GOP convention to make the Democrats’ 1968 disaster look tame. One way or another, the clock is ticking. 424 mAin street p. O. BOx 1051 des Arc, ArkAnsAs 72040 Open: m-f 8:30 Am - 6:00 pm

Isis must love Trump By Peter Certo

As the sun set over New York on June 12, hundreds of Muslims gathered in Hudson River Park to break their Ramadan fast together. Iftar, the evening Ramadan meal, is often a joyous celebration of faith and family. But the mood that Sunday was solemn: That morning, news had broken of the ghastly massacre of LGBTQ revelers at Pulse nightclub in Orlando. A lone Muslim had allegedly perpetrated the attack. Here by the Hudson, over 200 knelt in prayer. “We’re praying for those who were lost,” one woman explained in a video circulated by the Huffington Post, her voice breaking. “As Muslims, we’re united in our outrage over this senseless act of violence.” Meanwhile, an Orlando imam condemned terrorism as un-Islamic and affirmed his belief that “Islam teaches peace.” The Florida chapter of a national Muslim group called on members to donate blood for the victims. And statements of sympathy tumbled forth from American Muslims in what CBS News called “an avalanche.” “Today, we stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ community,” said the group Muslim Advocates. “Your grief is our grief. Your outrage is our outrage.” Unfortunately, none of those touching gestures deterred Donald Trump from warning darkly that “radical Islam is coming to our shores.” In a falsehood-riddled speech following the Orlando massacre, the presumptive GOP nominee blamed the shooting on immigration and “political correctness.” As Muslims all over America sent their sympathies to Orlando, Trump mocked his Democratic rival’s insistence that “Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people.” He accused Muslims of causing “death and destruction” by covering up terrorism in their midst (though it was later revealed that a Muslim member of Mateen’s community had reported him as suspicious). Then, in perhaps the most ominous part of the address, Trump claimed that Democrats will “take away Americans’ guns and then admit the very people who want to slaughter us.” Muslim immigrants are the problem, he seems to

be saying. And guns are the solution. If you ask me, I’d feel much safer with the crowd at Hudson River Park than anywhere near a rally of armed Trump supporters. But here’s the creepier part: For all his blathering that “we have to get smart” about “radical Islam,” Trump is stupidly playing right into ISIS’s hands. Like Trump himself, the group benefits immensely from anything that drives a wedge between Muslims and the societies they live in. ISIS said as much itself — in plain English — in a publication detailing its plan to “destroy the gray zone” between infidels and believers. Since most Muslims seem to like living in the liberal societies of Europe and North America, ISIS propagandists have written, the only way to drive up recruitment is to make Muslims feel unwelcome there. No wonder ISIS recruiters are now featuring Donald Trump in advertisements. It’s not because they’re afraid of him — it’s because few people are working harder to make Muslims feel unwelcome than he is. Civil rights groups report that Trump’s rise has paralleled a shocking increase in hate crimes against Muslims in this country. That’s an outrage. And it’s thoroughly self-defeating. In fact, the United States has arguably the most prosperous, well-integrated Muslim population in the western world. Even as ISIS has scored a few recruiting successes among the much more marginalized Muslim communities of Europe — though even there the group falls way outside the mainstream — it’s flat-lined here. Scenes like the iftar gathering in New York, in other words, are the rule, not the exception. They’re a touching rejoinder to the toxic politics of division, and a far more accurate reflection of our Muslim neighbors than anything peddled by Trump. And, not least, they’re a much better asset in the fight against terrorism than any bullet or bomb — or any demagogue who urges his followers to reach for their guns at the first sign of trouble. OtherWords.org editor Peter Certo writes about foreign policy for the Institute for Policy Studies.

Michael Moore: Trump Has an 'Excellent Chance' There is an "excellent chance" that Donald Trump will become the next president of the United States, and Americans "need to take that very seriously," controversial filmmaker Michael Moore said Thursday. "He knows how to manipulate a dumbed-down population," Moore, who has backed Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign, said during a press conference in London while promoting his latest film, "Where to Invade Next," reports NBC News. Moore went on to comment that in the United States, "the population of schools has been wrecked, and the news media is just insipid and stupid and doesn't give the people the facts about what's going on." As a result, he continued, the public is "easily manipulated" by someone like Trump. "He's not as stupid as he looks," Moore said of Trump. "You should take it very seriously He knows the manipulation that's going on here, and the use of propaganda and the way he's doing it is just brilliant in the way that he is succeeding and has succeeded." Also during the press conference, Moore said the pending EU referendum, which calls for the United King-

dom to leave the European Union, is much like the United States' presidential election, and those who support the move are like Trump's supporters, as they are aggressive for their cause and more likely to vote for separation, reports The Guardian (London newspaper). He also referred to Great Britain as a "toxic place" whose leader, Tony Blair, supported former President George W. Bush in the Iraq war. Meanwhile, Moore ridiculed Trump in a video interview with The Guardian's Owen Moore, saying that his calls for a wall at the Mexican border makes him sound like the cries of "dying dinosaurs." He further predicted to Moore that if Trump wins, many Americans will be moving to Canada, and "that's why I predict the Canadians are going to start strengthening their immigration laws." Moore's latest movie has him visiting several countries in the European Union, including Finland, Italy, and France, looking for positive aspects to take back to the United States. He said in the press conference he skipped the United Kingdom because "we didn't feel like there was anything left to learn here. And that you had given up on yourselves.”

Wrong guns in wrong hands! I just got another thing from "Everytown Gun Safety...." that's once again about targeting specific people with mental health (you expect psycho-analysts to find these guys, really??? and sometimes it's just guys with mere depression, and with mental health and their limited resources and funding in this country???), hate crime, and doing background checks, and that is also appropriate and we need those things, which the dumb---- NRA keeps blocking. The correct action in response to the Orlando murders is to BAN assault weapons, and ban them retroactively and gov't buybacks of those things now (only 9 million of these out there, in relation to the 200 or 300 million guns in total we have in our population or something). How do hate crimes and gun show purchases apply to Mateen here? This is the wrong response to this, because they do not apply here. He purchased his AR-15 with a

background check and legally, from what I've read, and was also a security guard for crying out loud. He also was a lone wolf, ISIS didn't know him, but he knew about Afghan struggles, etc. and radicalized, from what it appears, on his own, so not on a terrorist list and wouldn't have raised any flags there. He was quiet although abusive so noone knew about hate crimes here at all, nor was he ever convicted of anything with no prior convictions. The San Bernadino couple also used the AR15. It needs to be banned from public use except if you wanna shoot one at a range, right now!! This is what Australia did, and the policy there has worked many years. We need to start focusing on the bad guns and

Quote of the Week Teachers: Please teach your students to spell. It is too evident that this is a subject that many have forgotten or never learned.

quit the focus on the people and mental health so much, cause this is the NRA and their line...and their freaking guns DO kill, esp. the semi-auto and auto ones which only the military should possess.

Laugh-In Corner A blonde enters a store that sells curtains. She tells the salesman, "I would like to buy a pair of pink curtains." The salesman assures her that they have a large selection of pink curtains. He shows her several patterns, but the blonde seems to have a hard time choosing. Finally she selects a lovely pink floral print. The salesman then asks what size curtains she needs. The blonde promptly replies, "Fifteen inches." "Fifteen inches?" asked the salesman. "That sounds very small - what room are they for?" The blonde tells him that they aren't for a room, but they are for her computer monitor. The surprised salesman replies, "But miss, computers do not need curtains!" The blond says, "Hellllooooooooo! I've got Windoooooows!"

“THE PAGES TURNED BACK” (Compiled from White River Journal files)

Thursday, June 25, 1931

group of White and Prairie county citizens, headed by Congressman John E. Miller of Searcy, Mayor A. L. Erwin Jr. of Des Arc and Representative V. A. Rogers of Hazen, appeared before the State Highway Commission Wednesday to urge the importance of completing 12 miles of graveling on Highway No. 11, extending from the White-Prairie county line to Des Arc. Members of the party who conferred with the Commission included: J. J. Baugh, Searcy; G. P. Drown and L. R. Brown, Des Arc; George J. Screeton, V. A. Rogers and Jerry Screeton, Hazen; L. L. Walker, Higginson; H. E. Herring, McRae, and J. A. Neaville, Griffithville. Unless county tax collectors pay approximately $235,000 into the state treasury within a few days, the state cannot pay Confederate pensions during July, State Auditor J. Oscar Humphrey has announced. William Randolph Hearst, in an article contributed to today’s Daily Express, bitterly denounces President Hoover’s proposal for a moratorium on war debts and declares for Calvin Coolidge as the next President of the United States. Hearst said, “The American people want a vigorous American in the White House and they are going to have one, either a Coolidge or a Roosevelt.” The Annual 4-H Club Rally Day is to be held at the Oak Prairie School Building on June 27. The Tally Day last year was attended by 200 4-H Club members

and adults. Everyone bring your lunch for spreading. Ice cold lemonade will be furnished free. Senator T. H. Caraway said today that America is entitled to as much consideration during the depression as foreign nations and advocated suspension of foreclosures of farm mortgages on Federal Farm Loan banks to give the American farmer an opportunity to save his home. Use of Bibles in New York’s Public Schools was approved by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court today in ruling against an appeal made by the Free Thinkers of America, through Joseph Lewis, president. Lewis contended that use of Bibles not only violated the right of students as granted by the religious freedom clauses of the United States Constitution but spreads ideas concerning the creation of the world. The blackberry crop is fine here and pickers have begun to bring them in. Every family should pick all they can and can all they pick. This is a fine fruit that grows wild, costs nothing but time to pick them. The Little Rock District Conference of the Methodist Church met in Des Arc Friday and was largely attended by some 350 delegates. Thanks to the school for the use of the school building and to the Presbyterian Church for use of their church grounds. Shorty Murphy, proprietor of the DeValls Bluff Cleaning and Pressing Parlor, was in this city on business Tuesday.

easons for continued opposition by the American Farm Bureau Federation to government food subsidies have been reviewed by members of the board of director of the Prairie County Farm Bureau, in a statement submitted to the White River Journal today: “The use of subsidies in lieu of fair prices at the market to consumers at a time when national income is at record levels is highly inflationary; first, because it increases the amount of excess consumer purchasing power which cannot be expended for goods, and second, because it adds still further to the public debt which must be financed by greater bond issue,” said O. F. Eastham, president of the Prairie County Farm Bureau. Miss Marjorie Jane Booe of Cotton Plant, beautiful young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Booe, former Des Arc residents, who recently received her BS in the University College of Business Administration, left Saturday for Washington, D. C. where she will enter upon her duties as assistant secretary to Congressman E. C. Gathings. Induction of fathers probably will begin about August 1 in Arkansas, Brig. E. L. Compere, head of the State Selective Service, said last week. They will be drafted according to order number, instead of basis of number of children they have The Hickory Plains Home Demonstration Club met June 16 with Mrs. J. W. Speight with nine members and two visitors. Miss Swindle gave an interesting demonstration on testing pressure cooker gauges. She also left this club 72 jars to be filled with either fruits or vegetables

to be given to the Crippled Children’s Home in Little Rock. Each member will fill six jars. Mrs. Bill Moore, reporter. On Wednesday afternoon, June 16, the ladies of Abbington Community gathered at the home of Mrs. Bettie Roe to surprise her with a birthday party. Those present were: Mrs. Delma Dillaha, Mrs. Will Cochran, Mrs. Lizzie Freeman, Mrs. Raymond Hill, Mrs. Roland King, Mrs. W. S.

wo young boys, ages 14 and 15, who had been deserted by their relatives several years past and who had been under the care of the Welfare Department in homes near Forrest City, were sent to the Boys Industrial School at Pine Bluff from the Prairie County Jail at Des Arc on Tuesday. The boys had run away from their homes in Forrest City and broke into Harry Mason’s Cafe and Station at Biscoe Saturday night. Beginning August 1, when higher postal rates become effective, Des Arc letter writers will be using the lavender 4-cent stamp. The 4-cent stamp replaces the 3-cent stamp which was previously used for a first class letter. Letters mailed in the city will be raised to 3 cents. On Tuesday night, 32 members of the senior football team met in the Junior High School study hall with Coach Carl Steward. The first meeting shows promise of a good ‘58 football team. Jimmy Tate was elected team captain; Bedford Bone, cocaptain. Washington D. C._ Representative Wilbur D. Mills of Kensett, Ark., Wednesday, had the rare privilege of hearing himself eulogized by his Congressional colleagues., an honor usually given at the time of a member’s death. The occasion was the unveiling of a portrait of Mills, who is chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee. Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn addressed the gathering. Speaker Rayburn said about the congressman, “He is a great legislator and a great statesman. No man commands greater respect - and yes, I may say devotion - than Wilbur Mills.

DANCE: To the Music of Jimmy Carter and the Kountry Kats, Wednesday night, July 23, 9 p. m. to 1 a. m. at “The Spot” located on Bayou Des Arc. Admission $1 per person. The Young Adult Class of the Methodist Church had its monthly social this Wednesday night with an ice cream supper held in the fellowship hall of the church. Howard Ford is president of the class which has been taught by Leon Coker for several years. A large crowd was present. Our good friend and neighbor, and fellow gardener, Bill Inman, brought your editor at the Journal office last Friday three of the finest tomatoes from his garden we have seen. Two weighed a pound each and one was almost one and one-quarter pounds. Bill says 12-12-12 fertilizer did the trick. Edward Lacy, 18, aon of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lacy of Des Arc, was recently notified that he was winner of the Grand 3rd Prize in the Blue Horse Paper Contest. Edward, an 11th grader at DAHS, has saved about 5,600 Blue Horse labels over a period of two years. His prize was a beautiful RCA Victor portable radio in a tan plastic case. Mrs. Natalie Childress, clerk of the Prairie County Draft Board with the office at the Courthouse in Des Arc, said this week that the following men are scheduled to be delivered for induction on July 22: Charles B. Neighbors of Little Rock and Johnny Louis Lisko of Hazen. The August induction call is for one man. Mr. and Mrs. Louis Harvey are having a double car garage built at their nice home on Highway 11 near the Bayou north of town. They own and operate Harvey’s Service Station here.

Our visit to England . . . T

here's a children's story about a little bear that gets left at Paddington Station in London with a note attached to his coat "Please take care of this bear." “As I left Paddington Station, I had no idea how real a children's story can be,” said Debbye Harrison Paula Fulmer, Gail Polk and I (Debbye Harrison) traveled to England for ten days (last of April through first week of May) to see London and the sights. We left Paddington Station to go to a spot in the Cotswolds where we had rented a 400 year old thatched roof cottage. When involved in foreign travel, one of the challenges is to anticipate the local laws and traditions that NO ONE told you about. A sign that reads "train doors close in 2 minutes" would have been very helpful. As our train pulled Visiinto Reading, we noticed that people jumped up and were in the aisles well before the brakes were applied...a lot like when you’re getting off of an airplane. True to my Southern upbringing, I allowed everyone to scurry off then went in search of a bag I had left in another car. I never made it. Suddenly, the doors whisked closed and the train pulled off. There I stood with one bag and looking out the window while Paula and Gail were on the plat-

form waving at me pathetically. I gave them the same wave that someone would use if they were on the train and headed off to war, perhaps never to be seen again. Karma, which I'm not sure I believe in, or paybacks are not good. On another trip Paula had been a little slack in getting her bags off the train, and she and her luggage were caught IN the train doors. You can only imagine the ruckus that caused. People had to run up and down the train to get what I suspect was a computer to delay the start and open those vise grip doors again. Here I go on an unscheduled visit to Swindon, formerly famous to us because of its Magic Roundabout where there are five circles to negotiate at once. Paddington, I felt your pain. Cell phone service is always sketchy, especially if you are in a foreign country and trying to communicate between two American phones. It's almost as bad as trying to get a signal at Hickory Plains. But soon I got word--from my daughter Shana in Dallas where it was 5 a.m. "Stay on the train. P and G will wait at station for you." Simple? No, before the morning was over we had involved train employees both at Reading and Swindon who were alerted that "there is an American tourist lost" and spent

Visiting Stonehenge: Debbye Harrison, left and Paula Fulmer visited Stonehenge outside of Salsbury. They said it was freezing cold

some cold, windy time walking, looking and waiting for a reunion. The biggest challenge was still ahead, however. The rental car. No matter how many times you tell a rental place, or re-confirm or staunchly demand a car with an automatic transmission, it just doesn't work out for you. So here we are with a manual transmission, gear shift on the left and no driving instructions. The names of these persons will be withheld to protect the guilty. The first driver made it three blocks, but had to stop when the car started smoking. Upon investigation the clutch was smoking. Lesson 1: release clutch fully when shifting. Lesson 2: enter double roundabout with your engine running smoothly. Stopping every few feet to start the car could cause horn honking by fellow travelers. Lesson 3: Really? You are doing a "Chinese fire drill" with two lanes of traffic merging with two more? Lesson 4: Having the front seat passenger shift while the unexperienced driver uses the clutch can be confusing and dangerous. Tower Bridge in London One hour and 45 minutes later we A magnificent structure, the Tower Bridge, was packed reach our cottage. Much later in the with tourists and Londonites. The bridge is 800 feet in week while we are reflecting on this length with two towers each 213 feet high. trip, we consult a map to see just how far it is from the cottage to Reading...an unbelievable 8 miles! Not all of our experiences were fraught with so much danger. We attended church at Cholsey where Agatha Christie attended and is buried. We hired a tour guide to take us to Stonehenge, Avebury and Salisbury. We visited numerous sites and heard stories about the filming of "Midsommer Murders" and did a rather excellent job of touring London. Lesson 1: when in doubt, don't. Don't turn left into two lanes of oncoming traffic. Thank God the Brits are a cool lot and patiently wait for tourists to make a U-turn and get back in the roundabout. Lesson 2: if you really want to get from place to place efficiently and safely, use a Tea Time at Harrod’s in London taxi. Lesson 3: go to England Pictured above are l-r: Gail Polk, Debbye Harrison and every chance you get. Paula Fulmer enjoying a cup of tea at Harrod’s

Church News Repentance by Kennedy Crider I’ve been running from God for a while now, and I don’t recommend it to anyone. I never did anything necessarily sinful, but I didn’t have a relationship with my Father. I had a head knowledge, but not a heart knowledge. I was looking for belonging, looking for lost joy, looking for things to fill my lonely heart, looking for everything that God would have fulfilled if I had let Him. But I was too stubborn. I knew I needed God, but every time I went to church and prayed and repented, the seed wouldn’t root, and I would go back to watching Netflix in every spare moment and making excuses to not read my Bible or listen to my worship music (business really dangerous). I realized this past Sunday that God doesn’t move, so I am the one who needs to run back to Him, give up things that are keeping me distracted and away from His presence. I was reminded of a human video that we used to do at camp--I Surrender All. I think I was holding onto some things that I just needed to let go of in order to be able to run after God wholeheartedly, and I have decided to just let go of it all. “If sacrifice requires, let all my kindoms fall.” I am going to put God back as #1 priority where He always should have been. I wanted to make this public declaration to keep me accountable, and maybe there is someone out there going through what I did, and this will help them. We will overcome by the Blood of the Lamb and word of our TESTIMONY.

Traveling with Philip and Lorraine Keswick-The First Trip

Thursday was our first trip to Keswick, a town on an official “Lake” in the Lakes District. It was so cold in our room the night before that Lorraine read under the covers with a torch (flashlight). We heard from our German friends that their flight would arrive in New Castle at 2:20 p.m. Friday. They planned to arrive in Penrith in a rental car around 6:00 p.m. and call the Johnston home for further directions. At the suggestion of a friendly bus driver, we purchased an all-day pass. The walk to the bus station was cold, and Lorraine was thinking fondly of her gloves packed in a suitcase. When Philip says, “Boy, that sun feels good!” it must be cold out. The bus made a side trip through Threlkeld and we saw the sign to “Castlerigg Stone Circle”. We were surrounded by hills-lots of trees on the lower parts and thick greenery (brachen?, grass?, moss:) on the upper parts. We never saw one billboard, just discreet signs. Upon arrival in Keswick (pronounced “Kezz-ick”), we found the all-important WC and Information Center. The town was very touristy, but fun to explore. We walked to the lake and around Hope Park, given in 1974 by Lord Percy and Lady Hope. The gardens were beautiful, even on a somewhat miserable day. The wind was just whipping off the lake. Even the ducks looked cold! A group of school children were preparing to eat their lunches in the park and their teachers reminded them, “No Litter!” What a used bookstore we discovered! Lorraine bought “Victorian Christmas” after which we browsed around in the Tea Pottery. It was tempting to purchase some of their unique teapots, but Lorraine used her best judgment and refrained. We are now ready for lunch and had a “plaice” (fish) dinner, plus a veggie dish to share at the Pack Horse Inn Pub.

So we could use up our bus pass, we climbed aboard a double-decker to Grasmere, an 18-mile ride to the beautiful town. We chatted with a lovely older woman who suggested that we stroll around during our 1/2 hour wait (in spite of the drizzle) and be sure to visit the cemetery where William Wordsworth is buried and taste the famous gingerbread. We also killed some time in another used bookstore, resisting temptation again. Books are so HEAVY to lug around! Back in Keswick, we retraced our steps to Oxfam (a charity {thrift} shop) where Lorraine thought maybe she had left her hat. No luck. Two things lost in two days-that’s quite a record! No hat, but we did get directions to other charity shops for future visits. Worth noting were the well-behaved dogs, always on leads or waiting patiently outside of stores. Our bus driver, a comical fellow, recommended Hawlesworth Reservoir for a good walk some day. His route took a side trip past Greystoke, where the Movie about Tarzan was filmed. Two people still live on the estate. We picked up three workmen on the way to the pub. They were rebuilding a house from the 1400’s, plus constructing a six-stall horse barn. Back in Penrith, we bought some pasties/pies for supper. Lorraine’s feet felt worse for the wear from all the walking, but it was the only way to get around! Richie was leaving for Scouts when we arrived. The hot tea tasted exceptionally good that evening. Krista was exhausted from the last days of school. She had made a strawberry meringue dessert for a going-away party at school and kept some for the family, including us. It was so good and absolutely decadent! The bedroom that night was so cold that we thought about hooking up the electric blanket!

Country Quilt Camp group photo on the stairs at Cross Heirs Retreat Center June 18, 2016.

Country quilt camp ladies relaxing on the porch watching the hummingbirds.

Grand Prairie Quilt Society group enjoys retreat at Pintail Lodge in Humphrey The Grand Prairie Quilt Society had a great time at their Country Quilt Camp II Retreat at Cross Heirs Retreat Center at Pintail Lodge in Humphrey last weekend. Sewing machines whirred, scissors cut and tongues wagged as twelve ladies got down to the serious business of sewing, cutting, knitting, and crocheting.

It wasn't all sewing, though. Several of us walked down to the lake took the path all the way around, so we got our exercise, too. Some took advantage of the cool breezes on the porch to visit and watch the hummingbirds. And we didn't go hungry...Miss Fee Fee saw to that. I think I am still full...every meal was a mas-

terpiece of perfection. We waddled around all weekend...we certainly needed that walk around the lake! We have set the dates for Country Quilt Camp III. It will be June 2,3,4, 2017. More about this will be reported later. All in all it was a marvelous weekend and we can't wait to go back. Marsha Heien

Breath Test Could Diagnose Lung Cancer Earlier Scientists are developing a breath test for of lung cancer, which they hope will help them detect the all to often deadly disease in time to cure it. Researchers at the University of Louisville say they have discovered a “signature” in the exhaled breaths of lung cancer patients, which can be used to monitor the disease for recurrence – and hopefully detect it earlier as well. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death. More than 224,000 Americans will be diagnosed with lung cancer this year, and more than 158,000 lung cancer patients will die, which translates to 433 lung cancer deaths per day in the U.S., the American Cancer Society says. Researchers said, “We hope that breath analysis will allow us to diagnose patients with primary or recurrent lung cancer long before they suffer from symptoms, when we have more options for treating them, giving them the best chance for cure,” says Dr. Eric Schumer, lead author of the study, which appears in the Annals of Thoracic Surgery.

Refrigerator Recipes From Rev. Jaimie Alexander

This time of year, the refrigerator becomes one of my best friends in the kitchen. I enjoy preparing recipes that do not require the use of the stove or oven. This week's recipes all require the aid of a refrigerator. The oven and the stove have to be turned on for the Banana Pudding, but not for long. So tie one your apron and prepare a Cold Corn Salad, Banana Pudding, Broccoli Salad, and Fresh Squeezed Lemonade. Stay Cool!

Cold Corn Salad 4 tablespoons mayonnaise 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper ¼ teaspoon garlic powder 2 (11-ounce) cans white shoepeg corn, drained or cut the kernels off 3 medium ears of corn to use instead. 4 green onions, chopped 1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained 2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped In a small bowl, make the dressing by whisking the mayo, vinegar, salt, pepper, and garlic powder together. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine the corn, onions, chilies, and tomatoes. Add the dressing and stir to combine. Refrigerate for an hour or 2 to allow the flavors to develop. Served chilled.

Banana Pudding 4 large eggs 1 cup sugar 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon plus a pinch salt 2 cups whole milk 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 30 to 40 vanilla wafers 3 to 4 medium ripe bananas Separate the yolks from the whites of 3 of the eggs; set aside the whites. Add the remaining whole egg to the yolks. In a saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup sugar, the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in the whole egg and 3 yolks, and then stir in the milk. Cook uncovered, stirring often, until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.Spread a thin layer of the pudding in a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Arrange a layer of

Jaimie Alexander

vanilla wafers on top of the pudding. Thinly slice the bananas crosswise, about 1/8 inch thick, and arrange a layer of banana slices over the wafers. Spread one-third of the remaining pudding over the bananas and continue layering wafers, bananas and pudding, ending with pudding.To make the meringue, beat the reserved egg whites with a pinch of salt until they are stiff. Gradually beat in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and continue beating until the whites will not slide out of the mixing bowl when it is tilted.Spread the meringue over the pudding with a spatula, making a few decorative peaks on top, and bake until the meringue is lightly browned, 5 minutes.

Broccoli Salad 8 ounces bacon Salt 5 cups small broccoli florets 1 cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon cider vinegar 1/3 cup chopped onion 1/4 cup sugar 3/4 cup raisins 1/2 cup sunflower kernels Cut the bacon into small pieces and cook over medium heat just until crisp; drain on paper towels.Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and blanch until bright green and slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Drain well, run under cold water to stop the cooking, and drain again.In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, onion, sugar and raisins. Add the broccoli and toss the coat with the dressing. Refrigerate at least for 1 hour.Just before servings, fold in the sunflower kernels and the bacon pieces. Serve immediately.

WHITE RIVER JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 2016

Crider family reunion comes to Arkansas for first time 2nd Crider Family Reunion comes to Arkansas for the first time Many may remember Charlie Crider from years back that owned the Cozy Café in Des Arc in the 1960’s and was married to Sue (Evans) Crider. They had three boys: Monte, Robert (also known as Bobby Wayne, to family, or Bob), and Mike. (Monte and Bob are retired and live at Crossroads and Mike is Pastor at Living Waters Full Gospel in Des Arc.) What some may not know is that Charlie had three children from a previous marriage when he lived in Denver, Colorado where he was born and lived until joining the Army in WWII. The names of those children are Charlie, Rosella, and Robert (also known as Bob). Over the years the families had either come to Arkansas or went to Colorado to see each other at different times, but it was always a desire to get all of them that could together for a big Crider family reunion. Unfortunately, Charlie Crider passed away in 1995 and never saw this happen. Over the years families grew and kept in touch and the desire continued to grow, especially with Monte’s son, Charles, and Robert and Opal’s daughter, Tracy. Through many phone calls and lots of planning, they were determined to make it happen. So in June 2014, the Criders from Arkansas that could,

drove or flew to Denver and then to a lodge in the Rocky Mountains, to meet up with the Colorado Criders and have a day together to reminisce, share stories, pictures, a copy of the family ancestry, recently discovered, going back to the early 1600’s, and of course, eat. Also it was decided that the families would do this every two years alternating between Colorado and Arkansas. During the summer of 2015, plans commenced to have the 2nd Crider Family Reunion in Arkansas. It was decided to have it in early June before the Arkansas heat got too bad and many phone conversations happened to get all of the details of who, where, and of course, what food worked out. The Arkansas Criders were getting excited about hosting their Colorado kin as the time grew closer. Families started arriving a few days before and then all gathered together on Sunday, June 12th at the home of Chris and Christy (Crider) Heil’s home in Beebe. It was such a sweet time of reconnecting, sharing stories and pictures, kids playing, and of course, eating. Those in attendance were: Arkansas Criders—Bob and Opal Crider; Rick and Robbie (Crider) Weaver with sons Carl and Christian; Chad and Tracy (Crider) Cochran with children Josie, Emily, Annie Grace, Caleb, Carly, Casey and Madie; Monte Crider;

Chris and Christy (Crider) Heil and son Noah; Beth (Crider) Rettig with her fiancé, Ben, and daughters Maryann and Macey; Hall; Tennessee Criders—Randy and Celeste Crider with children Payton, Kennedy, Evan, Aiden, and Payton’s boyfriend, Logan; Colorado Criders—Charlie and Artie Crider & great granddaughter, Korina from Golden, CO, and Robert (Bobby) Crider with his children Robby, Aspen, Aubrey, Alex, Aiden, and Rebekah from Florence, CO. Other Arkansas family that came were Bob Evans; Mike and Debbie (Evans) Baum; and Becky (Baum) Hall. Afterwards Bobby and his children stayed a couple of days at Bob and Opal Crider’s house along with Tracy and the Cochran 7. They all enjoyed sharing more stories while the kids, enjoyed getting to know each other better, and eating Barbeque on Sunday night. Then on Monday the 13th, Bob drove Bobby and his Crider 6 and Tracy and the Cochran 7 to Blanchard Springs where they went through the Dripstone Trail to see the caverns. They ate a picnic at one of the Blanchard Springs campsite before heading back to Crossroads, and then Tracy took all 13 kids swimming at Lonoke’s Community Center to cool off from the Arkansas heat. Once everyone was back at Bob and Opal’s house, they all

enjoyed a delicious fish fry along with fried crawfish and all the fixings. Monte Crider was able to join them for dinner on Monday night as well. Tuesday morning the Colorado Criders and the Cochrans were going home so Bob and Tracy enjoyed cooking a big country style breakfast for everyone, getting some more pictures, and of course, it would not be complete without a few tricks, jokes, and card tricks and a lot more laughs. It was a great time to be with family and hard to say goodbye and makes us all look forward to the next reunion that will be in Colorado in 2018.

Opal Crider, Correspondent

All Christians,(Sinners too)need to read my granddaughters repentant story on the Religious, Page 4! Last week our family was involved in the 2nd Crider family reunion that is held every 2 years after being started 2 years ago with the first being held at a Rocky Mountain lodge outside of Frasier, Colorado. It was so beautiful there, up in the mountains with such a panoramic view of the Continental Divide and a beautiful mountain stream flowing right beside the lodge. This year some of the Colorado families traveled here to Arkansas, some for the first time ever, including Bob’s nephew, another Robert (or Bobby as the family calls him) and most of his family, as his wife and their two grown children weren’t able to make the trip. We had nice travel trailers parked at our home and Bobby and six of his kids (daughters; Aspen, Aubrey, Rebekah, and sons; Robby, Alex, Aiden) and stayed four days here with us. We enjoyed good country breakfasts and a fish fry like they had never experienced. The kids enjoyed just being able to run and play and fish to their hearts’ content. One day Papaw /Uncle Bob and our daughter, Tracy, and her “Cochran Seven” took Bobby and his six kids to Blanchard Springs Caverns and a picnic after the tour. After returning home, Tracy took all the kids to Lonoke to go swimming. They all enjoyed the day so much. You know, it really is great when you have that many kids together at one time and all of them are so respectful and well behaved, a real blessing these days. The wedding of Trevor Jones and Candace Nelson Saturday was really nice. So proud for them. Mr. and Mrs. Trevor Jones live in Carlisle, too bad he couldn’t have moved her to Cross Roads Community. HA! Our kids and grandkids grow up and move away. Then, Rick, Robbie & Carl Weaver and I attended Trevor Geisler’s wedding at Chad and Jenna Edwards in Des Arc Saturday night. Christian Weaver was his best man. It was beautiful. Everyone finds venues for the weddings and Chad and

Jenna’s back yard looked like magic. Mr. and Mrs. Trevor (Bekah) Geisler live in Des Arc. Tommy Graham treated his parents, Mickey and Vanessa Graham to supper at China Buffet Sunday evening for Father’s Day. Our kids weren’t able to be here Sunday for Father’s Day . They all had been here for their Dad for the Crider Reunion last week, so it was fine. Chad and Tracy and “Cochran 7” came later Sunday afternoon to get Chad’s parents travel trailer. We had 2 trailers in our front yard for CO Criders. Bully Price has been in the hospital for six days and cane home Monday evening with Hospice Care. Please keep them in your Prayers. Send them cards to 10860 Bully Price Rd., Ward, AR 72176. They don’t need lot of phone calls, they don’t get much sleep. Paul Gault came home from CO Saturday night. Some of the he grandkids help what they can. Rodney & Sue Price came home Tuesday & went back home to TX that night. Rick, Robbie, Carl and Christian Weaver, Chelsea Benson, and Clara Clark came over Monday evening for late Father’s Day. Rick grilled hamburgers & hot dogs. I made homemade ice cream. Our freezer has a handle, you can put on after electric motor stops to hand crank to freeze harder. Carl Weaver cranked ice cream freezer for first time in his life and he will soon be 24! I went to Ms. Maxine Walters for coffee time Tuesday morning. It’s always a joy to see her and the others. It makes her have a BIG smile. Hugs and kisses are good medicine for her and me. Please pray for Lorie (Walters) Beard. She has been in hospital before. Tuesday, Jeff had to take her to Springhill. It is something gastrointestinal. They put her on a new med and she will see a specialist soon. Clara Clark had supper with us Tuesday night. We had fresh squash, fried tators, cabbage, white beans, and cornbread. Monte Crider came down and we all visited for awhile. Carl Weaver and Chelsea Benson came over for a while. The real reason is

Carl wanted some leftover homemade ice cream. HA! Jeff and Lori (Walters)Beard, has “Bullett Hauling, LLC”. He needs another driver, call him, 870256-5556.

The TV has been saying the first day of summer is this week. I kinda felt SUMMER-ish last week, didn’t you? Eddie Pinuel of North Little Rock was here last Friday to take Bob Preston to lunch for an early Father’s Day. They did not let Sherrie at the Post Office in on it, nor me! She said he had missed the day before, so off I went and did not find him—couldn’t see in his garage to see if his truck was there and I am glad because it was there and I would have guessed the worst. Then I called Eddie and they were gallivanting somewhere. So Sherrie and I were happy. Jena Pfeffer spent Wednesday till Monday in Missouri, at Portageville with sister Diane and on to St. Louis with 7 friends for their annual reunion of Portageville’s Classy Chicks of 66. George Eldridge returned home Tuesday from a fishing trip with friends in Colorado. Stan called me last week and told me I should come to Conway Saturday as D.L Morton, his 8 year old grandson was 1 of 15 chosen to be on the All Star baseball team of Fayetteville and was playing at 3:30 in Conway that afternoon. I didn’t know if I wanted to sit in the heat but I went as I had not seen his Lee and family in months. I prayed a lot and made it fine. Got hugs from D.L., Roe, Libby, Will and their Dad, Clay, and Lee. Annie of Little Rock joined us for the game. I must appear old to little 4 yr. old Miss Libby. Lee told her “there is great

grandmother Rosie.” She said to Lee — “She drives”?? But Lee said Clay’s grandmother never drove so Libby put the 2 of us down together as ‘Drive”? Maybe not!!! On my way home I stopped at Beebe to visit my cousin Evelena and Buddy Sellars. Sunday, Mickey Holder was honored for Father’s Day with Lee Willis of McCrory, Donnie and Michelle Brown of Gregory, Matt Brown of North Little Rock and Mr. and Mrs. Kyle Brown, Carter and Tucker of Cabot joining him at Dondie’s in Des Arc for lunch. (and a whale of a lot of other folks that he didn’t know) Ha it was crowded, I know because Paul Collins invited me and Dan and Kristie Weeks to tag along there with him and his family for his being a father. Those family members were Rosemary and Cody Collins, Amber England and son, Fisher of Cabot, David and Candi Smith of Heber Springs, Devin Allen of Cabot and Dane and Shelby Collins of Gregory. Jason Cooper had a good Father’s Day as he, Hayden and Chloe camped at Blanchard Springs where the nights were 58 degrees!! Ima Jean and Vickie Lindsey went to Ward on Saturday night to listen to their favorite band, Sonny Burgess. The Mike Pinegar family of Sherwood spent Saturday night here at their Gregory House. Robert and Tammie Doss had granddaughter ,Journe of Patterson to visit on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Father’s Day guests of O.B. and Helen Fields were David and Gatha Oltmann of Monticello, John David and Stacy Vondron and Andrew of Conway, Steve and Dawanna Fields, Tori and Brent Bell all of Des Arc and the Gregg Fields family of Dixie. Last week I went with Dee and Dena to the ‘downtown’ bank to do some Auxiliary business and while they were doing it I was getting hugs from all of those who knew me from the President to the Loan officer. You would have thought I had a few million bucks there. Those at the Branch Bank (who give me my allowance) told me to ‘don’t be messing with that ‘downtown’ bunch anymore.’ But, girls, they made me feel GOOD! Okay? The American Legion Unit 166 and Auxiliary met Tuesday evening for it’s regular meeting and had as guests the Boys and Girls Staters and families. The boys and girls told us of their experiences while there in late May and early June. It is an honor to be able to go and are sponsored financially by businesses in Augusta. I ask your prayers for Sue Chaney, former Gregory and Augusta resident, who is in Baptist Hospital’s ICU tonight (Monday) as I write this with doctors’ saying she has Septic Shock.(whatever that is, I have heard of the blood being septic—and is an infection.) Thank you in advance, Rosetta

We had a nice crowd out for Sunday Service. Brother Fred’s mother and his daughter and granddaughter were visitors. We have been missing Dale and Evelyn Greenwalt. Evelyn had surgery again last week. She had a hard time. Our prayers are with them. Marilyn Tefteller was hospitalized several days with a broken hip. She came last week. Johnny and Sandy Kelly came for dinner on Sunday

with us. Kim Simmons and Cody McElroy, Lindsey, Magan, Deanna, and their cousin, Scott’s daughter and their children all went to Branson for a week-end. I know they all had fun. We have several things going on in July. There are several Bible School’s, Church Camp, and our Revival is the last Sunday. With Christian Van Houten bringing the message, Home Coming is the last Sunday.

Bradley Taylor will be speaking to us on the first Sunday in the evening. Charles Ingle called me this afternoon. He has had some health problems, he went to the hospital for test. Still, he is not feeling well. I am so sorry to hear that Betty Jenell Hogan passed away. We worked together several years ago. Our sympathy to her family. We send thoughts and prayers to the ill and the shut-in.

FARM/HOME “Gardening on the Grand Prairie” Fundraiser held June 11 By Chris Weems Prairie County Master Gardeners hosted their “Gardening on the Grand Prairie” fundraiser Saturday, June 11 at Hazen Methodist Church Fellowship Hall. The day’s activities were entitled “Everything Coming Up Roses.” Janice Turnage, president, presided and introduced the speakers and the events. Lonna Rhodes was in charge of registration. Rhonda Betzner made the programs for distribution. Dee Black provided most of the “Goodies” for the bags for the attendees. Turnage welcomed the ones who will be giving the program other visitors and members, especially the members from our counties. She told about the two projects PCMG are working on, Hazen Beautification, the “Bee Hive Flower Pots in the downtown area,” and maintaining the flowers and shrubs at the County Courthouse in DesArc. She introduced Carol Shockley, a Master Consulting Rosarian, as appointed by the American Rose Society. She writes for numerous publications. Her topic was “Yes, You Can Grow Beautiful Roses!” Shockley talked about the roses she grows and exhibits. She talked about receiving medals for many type of roses. Her personal favorites are the miniatures and the minifloras. She was complimentary about the use of roses in the centerpiece on the serving table. Turnage presented certificates and pins to PCMG members for 15 years of service. They are Sherry Bullock, Idena Greenwalt, CArolyn Marek, Patsy McMullen and Chris Weems. Lynda Andrews received a certificate and pin for ten years of service and Janis Toll was recognized for five years of service. Lonna Rhodes was presented as “Master Garden-

er of 2015” for having more than 103 hours of volunteer work. She designed the work area at Prairie County Courthouse in Des Arc. All the other members turned in 1,049.5 hours volunteer work for the year. Three members transferred their membership this year to Prairie County: Amy Carroll and Angie Greenwalt transferred from Monroe County and Charles Oldham transferred from White County. Three members were welcomed as new members. Sue Clayton, Larenda Dunlap and Keith Robinson took their training at the combined session of Lonoke and Prairie Counties in March and April. Lunch was served. All members participated in the preparation of the food and the serving. Janice Sample, Janis Toll, Larenda Dunlap and Rhonda Betzner helped with arranging the food. Sue Clayton and Patsy McMullen kept the beverages going. After lunch, Turnage introduced Jackie Johnson of DeWitt and Stuttgart, a former Master Gardener who talked about “Hot New Annuals and Shrubs.” She is known for “an eye for creating beautiful mixed containers.” Jackie is accepted by those who know her work, as an expert in many areas such as a pest control, soil treatment and pruning flowers and plants the president said in her introduction. “Johnson said many of our popular annuals are becoming perennials because of the mild winters we have had recently. Lantanas and petunias are just two of those examples,” she said. The penta is one of the new flowers she showed and she likes it because of its versatility and beauty. ONe of the new grasses recently has a red fluffy “flower” of a seed pod, and is called :Little Red Ridinghood,” because it is dwarf.

Master Gardeners who helped with the fundraiser Seated: (l-r) Patsy McMullen, Lynda Andrews, Janet Turnage, Sue Clayton, Amy Carroll, Chris Weems. Standing: Keith Robinson, Janis Toll, Janice Sample, Linda Price, Lonna Rhodes, Larenda Dunlap, Rhonda Betzner, Larry Anthony, Sherry Bullock, and Carolyn Marek. Johnson showed many examples of plants that are available in “regular” or “dwarf”. She warned about using fertilizers. “read the direction before you use a new product,”she said. Johnson also showed a few variations of new colors in flowers. One was a color between red and lavender and a color near salmon or peach. Sue Clayton conducted the drawing for the rifle. Janis Toll conducted the distribution of door prizes. She was assisted by Chris Weems, Larry Anthony, Amy Carroll and others. The door prizes were provided by members. Dee Black had left four inch pots of lantanas for each one attending. The president thanked some embers for special services that were rendered: all members for helping set up for the lmeeting on Friday: Larry Anthony and Keith robin-

Mid-week storms cause greensnap in corn Corn producers in northeastern and east-central Arkansas were assessing potential losses after strong storms caused greensnap – breaking of stems by high winds. The National Weather Service at Little Rock issued severe thunderstorm warnings Wednesday night for several counties in eastern Arkansas. “We are getting several reports of greensnap in corn in the Cross, St. Francis and Poinsett counties from the storms that went through yesterday evening,” Jason Kelley, extension wheat and feed grains agronomist for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agricul-

ture, said on Thursday. “Unfortunately, with rain comes wind this time of year.” Cody Griffin, St. Francis County extension agent for the Division of Agriculture, said greensnap was also seen in his county. Kelley said that while some corn hybrids may be more prone to greensnap, “under very high winds, they can all snap. Unfortunately, greensnap can be very detrimental to yield.” Corn that’s pushed over by wind – a condition called lodging – may have a limited ability to stand back up depending on growth state. However, at this point in the season a broken stem is beyond re-

CROP REPORT covery. “The crop has little capacity to compensate for losing plants and whatever percentage of the plants snapped generally equates to about that much yield loss,” he said. “If the stem snapped below where the ear would be, then yes, the plant is done.” Kelley said planting hybrids that are less prone to greensnap and having insurance to cover losses due to greensnap are ways ways reduce losses.

AGFC modifies proposals for CWD management EL DORADO –The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission heard modified proposals to help slow the spread of chronic wasting disease in Arkansas at its June meeting June 16 at the El Dorado Chamber of Commerce. Regulations concerning CWD originally were presented at the Commission’s May 19 meeting. Since that time, AGFC staff has gathered public comments through 11 public meetings, a statewide call-in television show on AETN and an online public survey. “Almost all of the questions and concerns we have received focus on the elimination of supplemental feeding on a statewide basis,” said AGFC Chief of Staff Jeff Crow. “We have modified that proposal to only apply to the 10 counties in our proposed CWD management zone.” The following modified proposals will be voted on during a June 24 special meeting of the Commission: Establish a CWD management zone consisting of Boone, Carroll, Johnson, Logan, Madison, Marion, Newton, Pope, Searcy and Yell counties. Prohibit feeding within the CWD management zone, except: o Baiting will be allowed Oct. 1-Dec. 31 for hunting. o Food plots will be allowed. o Incidental feeding of wildlife during active livestock operations will be allowed. o Backyard bird feeding will be allowed. o Grain scattered or distributed from normal agricultural practices will be allowed. o Feeding of wildlife by hand (e.g. ducks at the pond) will be allowed. o Bait for AGFC-approved management, research and control of wildlife will be allowed. Issue extra deer tags to landowners within the CWD management zone, to help decrease deer density. Hunters using these tags will be required to submit samples of harvested deer for CWD testing. Deer and elk killed within the CWD management zone must remain within that zone, except: o Deboned meat o Cleaned skull plates o Hides o Teeth o Taxidermy products Prohibit scents and lures containing natural deer urine statewide. Prohibit rehabilitation of deer statewide. Liberalize season structure on public and private land where CWD is present by lifting antler restrictions and increasing bag limits. Establish a core elk management area consisting of Boone, Carroll, Madison, Newton and Searcy counties. o Hunters outside of the core elk management zone may take any elk they see while deer hunting with a limit of one elk, either sex. o Increase the quota on private land elk hunting within the core elk management zone. All elk harvested statewide must be submitted for CWD testing.Create a non-commercial hunting enclosure permit for all high-fence deer facilities. o Require CWD samples from all deer that die in these facilities. o Require annual inspections in these facilities. o Require facilities to maintain accurate harvest records. o No new permits will be issued after July 1, 2017. The Commission is expected to make an official vote on these regulations during a special meeting June 24. The Commission will continue to accept public comments on proposed regulations via online survey at www.agfc.com. In other business, the Commission: Elected Fred Brown of Corning commission chairman and Steve Cook of Malvern commission vice-chairman, effective July 1, 2016; Formally approved the AGFC’s CWD Response Plan, an adaptive plan which outlines actions deemed necessary to combat the continued spread of CWD in Arkansas; Awarded Emon Mahony, outgoing commission chairman, his service sidearm; Approved the demolition of two AGFC-owned residences on Bayou Meto Wildlife Management Area and Camp Robinson Special Use Area that are in need of extensive repairs and are no longer used; Approved a temporary construction easement and permanent property easement on the C.B. “Charlie” Craig State Fish Hatchery to the City of Centerton for the construction of water and sewer lines on a 20 ft. x 1,320 ft. portion of the property. The Commission also waived all fees associated with said easement; Approved the Fiscal Year 2017 maintenance and operations budget of $87,960,100; Approved the Fiscal Year 2017 gas lease budget of $854,960, and Approved the Fiscal Year 2017 Black River settlement budget of $2,099,890
