P
otts Inn Museum is the only surviving Stagecoach Stop on the Butterfield Overland mail route which ran from Memphis to Fort Smith, before the civil war. The home was built in the Greek Architectural Style and is located in Historic Downtown Pottsville, Arkansas. Kirkbride Potts, was one of Arkansas earliest settlers to this area in 1828. He settled south of the Arkansas River, where he met his future wife, Pamelia Logan, a member of a pioneer family who lived in what is now Logan County. They married in 1828 and their first home was a two story log cabin at the foot of Crow Mountain. Their home soon became a well-known stop for travelers, thus the need for the move to the larger home at the current location.
his home state of Pennsylvania; however, he built it with local labor and native materials from the immediate area. Lumber for siding and trim, bricks for the chimneys, and laths and plaster for walls were designed and finished on site. Chimney rock was cut at the foot of Crow Mountain. It was then transfered to the grounds surrounding Potts Inn. The masonary, Mr. Brown, and the Potts Family laid it out and pieced the rock together to form each chimney. There are nine fireplaces inside Potts Inn. Each fireplace served two rooms upstairs allowing every room in Potts Inn to be heated except for the kitchen. Only doors, mantels, and glass window panes, were factory-made and shipped up the Arkansas River. Visitors can see the hand planed beams held together by wooden pegs in the attic.
Kirkbride, along with Pamelia and their eleven children, designed and constructed Potts Inn between 1852 and 1858. The first floor of the home features four 20x20 rooms: He patterned it after the Classical Revival Style he knew in the men’s public room, ladies’ parlor, dining room, and Pg. 6 • Area Guide - Russellville River Valley 2012 • Holiday Edition

main bedroom. The ladies’ parlor was used for all the Potts family daughters’ weddings, as well as family funerals. Each of the 20x20 upstairs bedrooms had 4 beds. When visitors came, the children would sleep upstairs in the attic in the winter or on the upstairs porch during hot weather. Mrs. Potts was well known for her clean sleeping quarters and good meals. Visitors could also wash off the grime from their trip by paying extra for a bath. The first person taking the bath paid the most, each person after paid less, until the last person taking the bath paid the least and had to empty the bath water. The buildings served as a post office, a social and cultural

center, an inn, overnight Butterfield Overland Stage Stop, Livery, and home. The Butterfield line closed at the beginning of the war in 1861. With the stage line gone and four years of devastating war and its after math, Potts Inn changed. It converted to a, “hotel,” to provide high class accommodations for new customers as for early travelers. For example, it contributed to railway development by providing food and lodging to surveyors and engineers working for the newly established Little Rock and Fort Smith Railway Company. Pamelia Potts died August 5, 1878, and Kirkbride followed November 27, 1879. Both are buried in Potts Cemetery overlooking the land of Galla Creek. The inn was in continuous use by the Potts family until 1970 at which time the Potts sold the home and the city block it sits on to Pope County. The county and Potts Inn board of directors now maintain the building and grounds.

Historic Collections The log cabins, placed around the museum ground in a pattern similar to its original pattern, house a variety of historic collections. The original smokehouse has been converted into a doctor’s museum in honor of the town’s early 1900’s physician, Dr. Charles R. Teeter. The Hat Musuem is one of only two hat museums in the United States. On display are 100 years of hats, many made by William McLean, a milner originally from Clarksville, AR, who went to New York to make hats for president Calvin Coolidge’s wife and the Queen of Romania, among others. The U.S. and Arkansas First Ladies Inaugural Gown Collection contains a replica doll’s gown of each of the U.S. and Arkansas’ first ladies’ inaugural gowns. Many of the original barns that were used to store stock feed, now house antique farm implements. Potts Inn is viewed as a legacy to the pioneering spirit of Pamelia and Kirkbride Potts, to their energy, courage, integrity, and endurance.

Potts Inn Historian
harles Wade Oates age 86 graduated from Pottsville High School in 1943. He attended Arkansas Tech University and the College of Ozarks, better known today as The University of Ozarks in Clarksville. He holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Pharmacy. He worked in Waldron and then returned to Russellville taking a position at Walker’s Drug Store. He and Dale Walker bought the pharmacy and renamed it C & D Drug Store. Charles retired from the pharmacy in 1992, and returned to Pottsville to the family farmland, where he still resides today. He and wife Jean have three children; Bonita Walters, Charles David Oates, and Brenda Harrison. Charles is very knowledgeable of the history of Potts Inn , as well as the Pottsville community. He has been a long-time member of the museum board and loves to discuss past stories of Potts Inn. Here are just a few that you should find very entertaining: Generations of the Kirkbride Potts family tell of the
Pg. 10 • Area Guide - Russellville River Valley 2012 • Holiday Edition
time when the Potts children decided to see if the family cat could swim. The only source of water on the property was the family well. So the children threw the cat down their well. Since cats are not good swimmers and it would’ve been very difficult to retrieve it from the well, the family cat did not survive. Kirkbride had to drill another well until the affected well finally flushed all the lasting remains of the cat out. As previously stated, the Potts had eleven children. Imagine eleven children and no indoor plumbing. Chamber pots were placed by the beds at night. During the day, an outhouse could be used; A SEVEN-HOLE OUTHOUSE. At this time, it was customary for families to dispose of old bottles down these holes. Bottle collectors still call and inquire about digging in the vicinity of that seven-hole spectacle. Mr. Oates says access denied! The most interesting story told by Charles is the one of Kirkbride and an Indian Chief. The Indian Chief knocked on the door of Potts Inn asking to talk to Kirkbride. He had brought a horse with intentions of trading it for Mrs. Potts. Kirkbride politely said, “No, my wife is not for sell or trade.” The Chief left, but returned leading not one, but two horses. Mr. Potts reinterated, “No, my wife is not for sell!” Disgusted, the Chief left and returned one last time. He had upped the offer to four horses. Finally Mr. Potts emphatically said, “NO! No I will not trade my wife for all your horses!” This made the Indian Chief furious. So furious that he threw his tomahawk at Mr. Potts’ head. It struck the facing around the front door. The indention was visible for many years until multiple paintings slowly caused it to fade. Now two things are sure about the above story. Mr. Potts truly loved his wife and the Pottsville community is blessed to have such a wonderful piece of history in their town.

There’s an old saying: “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” But does that oxymoron really hold true? The answer can be found at the coner of El Paso and West 2nd Streets in Russellville. In 1874, Miss Mary Allen donated property at that intersection to help a small group’s vision become reality. That vision was to organize a Baptist church in the community—a church whose purpose would later be summarized with the phrase “to know Him and make Him known.” First Baptist Church (FBC) of Russellville has been meeting on that site ever since. While the buildings, faces and programs have changed, the congregation remains steadfast in its belief that God’s Word is unchanging and in its commitment to minister to people near and far. “In Acts 1:8, the church is challenged to start by reaching its local area for Christ and slowly working outward,” said senior pastor Greg Sykes. “We take that mandate seriously and have tried hard to create ministries that help us impact Russellville, and Arkansas, and even the world for Christ.”
Historically Speaking FBC started with about 15 members. For 45 years, they met in a small, one-room building (right). In 1918, the church built a new building that included a 400-seat sanctuary and classroom space. A growth spurt ensued. During the 1950’s, the facilities expanded with a new three-story educational building. As the congregation continued to grow, the need for a larger sanctuary emerged. So in 1962, the church moved into its new 900seat worship center, where it still holds services today.

The Current Pastor With an active membership of 1,400, the church body didn’t have to go far to find its 35th and current pastor, Greg Sykes. After serving 10 years on the FBC staff, most recently as the associate pastor, the congregation invited Sykes to become the new senior pastor in July 2011.

Despite plans of becoming a sports writer, Sykes felt a call to the ministry. He graduated with a Master’s Degree in Biblical Studies from Trinity Theological Seminary in Newburgh, Indiana. He served as Media Director for Student Mobilization— a collegiate ministry based in Conway—as well as Associate and Youth Pastor at FBC of Dover.
An insightful writer, Sykes has published three novels, which he hopes share “the love and grace of God through an entirely ficDuring the 1980’s and 1990’s, FBC formally stepped out as an tional, often historical, setting.” He also blogs regularly. “Acts 1:8 church,” and the blessings overflowed.

During those 27 years, approximately $10 million worth of building improvements were made without any long-term financing, and countless lives were positively impacted through ministries like Celebrate Recovery. (See sidebar story.) Pg. 18 • Area Guide - Russellville River Valley 2012 • Holiday Edition
Over the years, FBC has been instrumental in planting many area churches, including Second Baptist, Baker’s Creek Baptist, Kelley Heights Baptist, Fair Park Baptist and FBC of Pottsville. Most recently, its local church planting efforts have focused on the Spanish-speaking community. For the past seven years, FBC has fostered the development of the Mision Bautista Ebenezer. www.arareaguides.com
Sports and Recreation The church organizes the Upward Sports program to provide a positive play environment for children. In September and October, FBC holds a six-on-six flag football league for boys in grades 1-5. Practices are held one evening each week, with games on Saturdays. According to Ham, about 100 boys community-wide participate in the football program. Mision Buatista Ebenezer completed August, 2012
Under the leadership of ministry pastor Manuel Mendoza, its congregation has grown from eight people to more than 50. The group originally met in a small room within the church facilities before moving to the former parsonage. On August 26, the Hispanic ministry held its first service in its new worship center, which is located at the corner of Third and Glenwood Streets. This year, FBC will turn its focus just west of Mision Bautista Ebenezer’s worship center in an effort to minister to a new area of the community. Outreach will kick off with a block party in September, complete with bump-and-jumps, family-oriented activities and refreshments. In October, there will be a harvest party and, in November, a free Thanksgiving meal. In December, the church will create a living nativity in the area, similar to the one it holds on the grounds of Bank of America each year. Beyond local church plants and community outreach, FBC played a key role in establishing the Baptist Student Union at Arkansas Tech University as well as the River Valley Christian Clinic.
Horseback Family Ministry Block parties aren’t FBC’s only non-traditional means of outreach. For the past six years, its Horseback Family Ministry has created an inviting, family-oriented, rodeo-style atmosphere where people fellowship and learn God’s Word. Held on the fourth Sunday of each month from April through October, these gatherings feature pony rides, concessions, live music, a church service, as well as competitions like calf-, bull- and steer-riding. In September and October, the activities will start at 3 p.m. at the Pope County Riding Club Arena. Professional bull rider Justin Koon was baptized at one of these services. He is now a member of First Baptist Church. As part of this ministry, Jay Ham, FBC’s Mission Pastor, and lay leader Joe Alpe help organize clinics for roping, goat tying, bull-riding, etc.
From December through February, Upward Sports features basketball and cheerleading. For basketball, there is a co-ed kindergarten league, along with boys teams and girls teams for grades 1-2, 3-4, and 5-6. Each grade has its own group of girls serving as cheerleaders. Approximately 600 children participate in these winter activities. What makes Upward Sports unique is the opportunity to share Christ. There is a devotional at every practice, and a speaker shares his/her testimony at each game. Participants also learn a Bible verse weekly. Similar to Upward Sports, the Shooting for Success program provides sporting activities geared for special needs children. Some outreach opportunities have emerged out of a common interest that church members share with others in the community. Such activities include running, cycling, and swimming. Approximately 200 adults are now registered for FBC’s Half Marathon Training Group, according to Larry Walker, the group’s organizer and the Minister of Church Finances and Administration. Over the course of 17 weeks, the group trains together in preparation of the Soaring Wings Half Marathon. The race, which will be held October 27 in Conway, benefits the Soaring Wings Christian Home and Ranch. The church also organizes races annually. The Resolution Run 5K is held around New Year’s Day, while the Firecracker Challenge triathlon is held on July 4th. Proceeds from both events benefit foreign missions. The FBC Men’s Ministry hosts activities that give men from the church an opportunity to fellowship with their unchurched friends and acquaintances. Many times, these events involve recreation and sports. From skeet shoots to 3D box shoots, and from golf tournaments to dinners with speakers from Razorback sports teams, these events supplement the weekly men’s Bible studies.

Ministries for Children and Youth
growth, but that didn’t materialize.”
Through the Awana program, the church partners with parents to develop spiritually strong children. This program was developed 60 years ago and has been implemented at FBC for more than two decades.
Meanwhile, church leadership was aware of another conundrum. “We realized that while our Sunday morning services meet a need, there are unchurched people who may have a different worship preference,” said Palfreeman.
As many as 200 children from preschool through 4th grade with more than 100 adult volunteers take part in the Wednesday evening Awana activities. Each session is divided into small group Bible study when children recite their memory verses, game time, and a large group “counsel” time. Once a month, the focus is on missions. It’s during these sessions that FBC is able to “open kids’ eyes to the needs of the world,” according to Mike Cloud, Minister to Children and Families.
FBC implemented a solution to both challenges at the beginning of 2012 by adding “3” to its Sunday service offering. While the morning services occur at 9:30 and 10:50, this new third service takes place at 6:15 p.m. The slogan for “3” sums it up: “The same, only different.” In this contemporary service, the same message is delivered, but the presentation may be adapted. A smaller, more casual group allows more interaction. It’s not surprising that this non-traditional church environment is attracting college students, young singles and families, but others are taking part, as well. Small groups that meet immediately prior to the third service are “the same, only different” from traditional adult Sunday school classes that meet in the mornings. (These small groups also meet at various times during the week in homes.) C3—the evening version of children’s Sunday school—is also available.
Foreign Missions
On a global scale, the church supports ministries in Brazil, India, China, El Salvador, Mexico and several African countries. Not only does this include financial support, but also sending mission teams from the church to these areas. A team recently returned from Kenya, where FBC has established a training center. Men Awana begins at the beginning of each school year and concludes who are native to the land are discipled there so they can return to on the last Wednesday night in April. Children can join the pro- their villages and share the Gospel. gram at any time. FBC also offers Wednesday evening activities for youth in middle school through high school. Approximately 250 students participate. On Sundays, there are numerous classes for young people. Sunday school is available in the morning and evening. Summer brings Vacation Bible School and many other camp opportunities. This past summer, nearly 350 children and 200 workers took part in VBS, which goes through 4th grade, and VBX, which is for middle school students. Ministry to children and youth would not be near as effective without the many adult volunteers. “As children’s pastor, I really oversee a bunch of children’s pastors,” said Cloud. “We have such a talented group of leaders that teach and love our children.”
“3” In recent years, the congregation has grown markedly, particularly the demographic of young families. This blessing has brought about new challenges; in particular, how to nurture more children in nursery and educational facilities that were near or at capacity. “We were busting at the seams,” explained discipleship pastor Mark Palfreeman. “We looked at building to accommodate the Pg. 20 • Area Guide - Russellville River Valley 2012 • Holiday Edition

Yes, the old saying is true. “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” For as many changes as this world has seen over the past 138 years, the congregation of FBC continues to meet at the same intersection, serve the same God, study His unchanging Word and strive to “know Him and make Him known.” When it comes down to it, things are “the same, only different.”
First Baptist Church
Overcoming Hurts, Hang-ups and Habits Financial difficulties. Failing relationships. Addictions. Loss of a loved one. Uncertainty. Every day in all different ways, people are hurting. Where can they turn? Here in Russellville, they can find help through First Baptist Church’s Celebrate Recovery program. Founded in 1990 by Pastors Rick Warren and John Baker of Saddleback Church in California, Celebrate Recovery came to FBC in October of 2005. According to the program’s website, Celebrate Recovery is “designed to help those struggling with hurts, hang-ups and habits by showing them the loving power of Jesus Christ through the recovery process.” Ron and Nelda Alexander became involved in the program 10 years ago while living in Hot Springs. For three years, they led Celebrate Recovery there. Meanwhile former FBC pastor Stephen Davis and his wife, Jonya, had been praying for someone to establish and lead the
program here. When the Alexander’s relocated to Russellville and began looking for a church home, they “wanted a church that was loving and welcoming to Celebrate Recovery,” explained Nelda. It didn’t take long for them to figure out FBC was the perfect fit. The group meets on Monday evenings in the fellowship hall, starting with a meal at 5:30 p.m. followed by a meeting at 6:15 p.m. “Through relationships and community, we are helping teach people how to really live,” said Nelda, who now leads Celebrate Recovery at FBC and serves as an Arkansas state representative for the program. “How does it work? You just need to show up and keep showing up till your miracle happens!”

A Treasure
Colonial Flowers A Brief History.. David Rachel was born and raised in Russellville, Arkansas and attended Russellville schools graduating from RHS in 1978. He began a floral career while still a senior in high school under the instruction of long-time owners J.D. and Ruby Humphrey. David married wife, Lorie Lemarr, of Augsburg, Arkansas in 1985. They were blessed with the birth of an only son, David Tyler Rachel in 1989. David’s interests outside the floral business include his love of music in which he directed church choir and led worship for many years in various local churches. He also enjoys planning family vacations and spending time with his family as well as hanging out with their two cherished Boston Terriers, Scooter and Sadie. David also served for many years on the church board, the Choices Pregnancy Center board, and along with wife Lorie on the RHS band booster board as co-presidents.
Colonial Flowers was opened in 1938 by Ella Black West. The shop remained in the Black family until being purchased in the 1950’s by J.D. and Ruby Humphrey. The shop was then located at the corner of 8th and Denver until relocating downtown Russellville on Main Street where it remains to this day. In 1989, Bill Shinn took over ownership making David It’s store manager. During those years, David would learn from Bill the many skills and techniques along with an important business philosophy that he had mastered over many years in the import and wholesale arms of the floral industry. It is these skills that continue to guide David through a tricky economy that has been less than kind to middle America and small business in general. And so David Pg. 28 • Area Guide - Russellville River Valley 2012 • Holiday Edition

and his staff continue this rich tradition as D. Rachel’s Colonial Flowers approaches it’s 75th anniversary. D.Rachel’s Colonial Flowers is blessed to have a dedicated and talented staff. Larry Pless joined the flower shop in 1986 and also serves as pastor at East Point Baptist Church. Hella Price joined the flower shop first in the early 90’s and then again in 2006 to present. Hella has enjoyed a long and prestigious career that began in her home country of Germany where she received her bachelors degree in floral design and then her master’s degree in floral design and agriculture. She then came to America as a single mother along with her only son knowing no english in 1978 to conquer not only the english barrier, but to receive many state and national awards from several states. She represented FTD for many years in Mexico City, Phoenix, New York City as well as small venues in the state of Arkansas on Colonial’s staff. Times have changed in the fresh flower industry over the years. In 1978 when David began his career, most flowers were still grown and sold within the continental United States, today the bulk of all flower growers are in South America and around the globe. They now have the capacity as a local flower shop to buy directly from these growers, greatly increasing the quality and selection they offer to their customers. Whether the occasion in happy or sad, D. Rachel’s Colonial Flowers
is there for their customers and look forward to helping them with all of their flower needs for years to come.

THE INS AND OUTS OF MONEY
Winterizing Your Home
So you’ve pulled your sweaters out of the mothballs and found your mittens at the bottom of the coat closet. But what about your house -- is it prepared for the cold months ahead? You’ll be a lot less comfortable in the coming months if you haven’t secured Home Sweet Home for Old Man Winter. We’ve boiled down your autumn to-do list to 10 easy tips: 1. Clean your gutters Once the leaves fall, remove them and other debris from your home’s gutters -- by hand, by scraper or spatula, and finally by a good hose rinse -- so that winter’s rain and melting snow can drain. Clogged drains can form ice dams, in which water backs up, freezes and causes water to seep into the house. As you’re hosing out your gutters, look for leaks and misaligned pipes. Also, make sure the downspouts are carrying water away from the house’s foundation, where it could cause flooding or other water damage. 2. Block any leaks One of the best ways to winterize your home is to simply block obvious leaks around your house, both inside and out, experts say. The average American home has leaks that amount to a ninesquare-foot hole in the wall. First, find the leaks: On a breezy day, walk around inside holding a lit incense stick to the most common drafty areas: recessed lighting, window and door frames, electrical outlets. Then, buy door sweeps to close spaces under exterior doors, and caulk or apply tacky rope caulk to those drafty spots. Outlet gaskets can easily be installed in electrical outlets that share a home’s outer walls, where cold air often enters. Outside, seal leaks with weather-resistant caulk. For brick areas, use masonry sealer, which will better stand up to freezing and thawing. 3. Insulate yourself Regardless of the climate conditions you live in, in the Pg. 40 • Area Guide - Russellville River Valley 2012 • Holiday Edition
U.S. you need a minimum of 12 inches of insulation. It costs a little bit of money but the money comes back quick. Don’t clutter your brain with R-values or measuring tape, though. If you go into the attic and you can see the ceiling joists you know you don’t have enough, because a ceiling joist is at most 10 or 11 inches. A related tip: If you’re layering insulation atop other insulation, don’t use the kind that has “kraft face” finish (i.e., a paper backing). It acts as a vapor barrier, and therefore can cause moisture problems in the insulation. 4. Check the furnace First, turn your furnace on now, to make sure it’s even working, before the coldest weather descends. A strong, odd, shortlasting smell is natural when firing up the furnace in the autumn; simply open windows to dissipate it. But if the smell lasts a long time, shut down the furnace and call a professional. It’s a good idea to have furnaces cleaned and tuned annually. Costs will often run about $100-$125. An inspector should do the following, among other things: Throughout the winter you should change the furnace filters regularly (check them monthly). 5. Get your ducts in a row According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a home with central heating can lose up to 60% of its heated air before that air reaches the vents if ductwork is not well-connected and insulated, or if it must travel through unheated spaces. That’s a huge amount of wasted money, not to mention a chilly house. Ducts aren’t always easy to see, but you can often find them exposed in the attic, the basement and crawlspaces. Repair places where pipes are pinched, which impedes flow of heated air to the house, and fix gaps with a metal-backed tape (duct tape actually doesn’t stand up to the job over time).

Home Sweet Home 6. Face your windows Now, of course, is the time to take down the window screens and put up storm windows, which provide an extra layer of protection and warmth for the home. Storm windows are particularly helpful if you have old, single-pane glass windows. But if you don’t have storm windows, and your windows are leaky or drafty, they need to be updated. Of course, windows are pricey. Budget to replace them a few at a time, and in the meantime, buy a window insulator kit. 7. Don’t forget the chimney Ideally, spring is the time to think about your chimney. Don’t put off your chimney needs before using your fireplace. A common myth is that a chimney needs to be swept every year. Not true. But a chimney should at least be inspected before use each year. Woodstoves are a different beast. They should be swept more than once a year. If you see ash, then it’s primarily lye -- the same stuff that was once used to make soap, and it’s very acidic. It can cause mortar and the metal damper to rot. 8. Reverse that fan By reversing your ceiling fans direction from the summer operation, the fan will push warm air downward and force it to recirculate, keeping you more comfortable.
Pg. 42 • Area Guide - Russellville River Valley 2012 • Holiday Edition
9. Wrap those pipes A burst pipe caused by a winter freeze is a nightmare. Prevent it before Jack Frost sets his grip: Before freezing nights hit, make certain that the water to your hose bibs is shut off inside your house (via a turnoff valve), and that the lines are drained. Next, go looking for other pipes that aren’t insulated, or that pass through unheated spaces -- pipes that run through crawlspaces, basements or garages. Wrap them with pre-molded foam rubber sleeves or fiberglass insulation, available at hardware stores. If you’re really worried about a pipe freezing, you can first wrap it with heating tape, which is basically an electrical cord that emits heat. 10. Finally, check those alarms This is a great time to check the operation -- and change the batteries -- on your home’s smoke detectors. Detectors should be replaced every 10 years, fire officials say. Test them -- older ones in particular -- with a small bit of actual smoke, and not just by pressing the “test” button. Check to see that your fire extinguisher is still where it should be, and still works. Also, invest in a carbon-monoxide detector; every home should have at least one.

Knowing what to do in a moments notice....
That’s the Service We Provide In 2006, Trey Shafer was a man with a pick-up truck, a wife who had just given birth, and a new company named River Valley Restoration. Shafer started the company when his daughter was born in an attempt to find work that would help him balance out family life with business. “I wanted to be there for her birth, and having a nine-to-five job, I couldn’t be as flexible as I wanted to be for my first child,” Shafer says. He started working out of his home, doing odd jobs and remodeling for residences. The company grew quickly, and a year and a half after the company began, he had a conversation with a friend that would lead to the company becoming what it is today. “I had a friend of mine who was an insurance adjuster talking to me about needing someone he could trust to do restoration,” Shafer says. “So one thing led to another, and I got into it.”
now offers a new service: cabinet making. “We’ve branched into cabinet making, so we’re offering something new to the public,” Shafer says. “We can make them all custom, whatever the customer wants and needs, we can accommodate for.” It’s this sort of flexibility that has led to the company’s success. “We can do pretty much anything to a home or business,” he says. “We mainly stay in the residential part of it, but we can do mitigation for companies as well.”
Services vary from remodeling houses, to cleaning up water damage, to removing fallen trees from houses. “Just knowing what do to in a moment’s notice, that’s the service we provide,” Shafer says. “And we have the experience to do that.” They will travel to any area within an hour radius from Russellville to do restoration work, but they offer cabinet making statewide. Currently, they are repairing a church in Alma that suffered water damage. With so many services they offer to the customer, and equipped with an excellent staff of workers, there’s nowhere for River Valley Restoration to go but up. Shafer found the job immensely rewarding, and the company started growing from there. “I found out that I really enjoyed that side of it,” he says. “I like turning a disaster into something new. That’s usually how it is, when we walk onto a job. But it’s always something different. And I really like working with people.” Shafer emphasizes the quick growth of the company. “It just kept getting bigger, and just kept growing. And I just kept having to hire help.” Now, the company hires anywhere from 10 to 15 people. Due to the steady growth since its inception, the company

George Termite & Pest Control for your termite needs!
Your home is one of the largest investments you will make in your lifetime, why go unprotected? Termites can cause a major threat to homes! Especially in our area. Every year subterranean termites cause approximately 5 billion dollars in damage alone throughout the United States. Termites cause more damage to homes than tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, or fires combined. Surprisingly enough, the destructive damage caused by termites is NOT covered in a typical homeowner’s insurance policy! Protect your home today! You can never be too safe when it comes to termites!
What You Need To Know! If your home is left unchecked and untreated for termites it can pose a great risk for structural damage. Subterranean termites are extremely destructive. The species love wood and moisture! Termites build tunnels to wood structures and then burrow into those structures for food sources. Any type of wood or cellulose containing material constitutes food for termites and over time, nothing but a shell will be left. Termites build their colonies where they can’t be seen, because they avoid light and air. Just because you can’t see them, doesn’t mean they don’t exist. It is essential for our trained professionals to be able to inspect your home in order to detect any signs of infestation. Don’t take the chance of going without coverage, it will be a costly mistake that could have easily avoided!

Frequently Asked Questions
When asked what makes George Termite and Pest Control different than the other pest control companies in the area, Dusty George used one word: Trust.
What are the most common household pests and what steps can I take to help keep my home pest-free? Common household pests include insects such as ants, cockroaches, spiders, flies, pantry pests and wasps. Remember, most pests need food, water and a place to live. Eliminating any one of those elements will help significantly in controlling the pest. With that in mind, there are a number of steps homeowners can take to help keep their homes pest free: * Clean regularly and reduce clutter inside and outside of your home. * Keep foods such as flour, cereal, spaghetti and pet food in re-sealable containers with tight lids. * Keep kitchens, dining rooms and other areas where food is eaten clean and free of crumbs. * Sweep and vacuum often (especially in eating areas) to help eliminate food sources for some pests. * Keep garbage areas clean and store garbage in sealed containers that are picked up regularly. * Seal cracks, crevices, and other gaps especially around doors and windows. Make sure all windows and doors are screened and fit the screens snuggly in their frames. * Many pests need moisture to successfully live and reproduce inside your home, so limit their access to water or moisture sources by sealing any cracks and leaks in pipes and faucets. * Outside your home, keep trees, shrubs and flowerbeds well maintained and avoid having them touch the house. * Store firewood away from the house and at least 5 inches off the ground. * Clean gutters regularly and direct water from downspouts and drains away from your home. * Seal any gaps where utility wires or pipes come into your home. * Make sure that basements and attics are well ventilated.

THE
RACK Brothers Leon and Doug Duvall do two simple things as owners of The RACK Furniture Warehouse: they provide top-notch customer service and they support their community. Oftentimes, these two things can cost a company money, but the Duvalls understand there’s more to life than simply making money. “You have to make money to make a living, but it’s not about the dollar,” Leon Duvall says. “It’s about making friends. We’ve kinda created a furniture family. I want our customers to feel be comfortable and relaxed. I want them to talk to me about themselves and about their family.” Their upbringing instilled this sort of attitude in the brothers. Their father Danny grew up on their grandfather’s farm north of Atkins in the Pea Ridge community, where they farmed a five-acre garden. Life was simple on the farm—Leon still remembers their outhouse and their well. “It was at a time where my grandfather would take a pig to town and sell it to get his grandchildren new shoes,” Leon says. When Danny realized he didn’t want to be a farmer, he got an education and enlisted in the army, where he served in the Vietnam War. In the mid-seventies the family moved to Greenbrier, and he ran a furniture business there for the first time. In the late seventies, he began working at Peters Family Living, where he worked until 1993, when he was offered a job to run a store in Northwest Arkansas. Doug and Leon went to him in an attempt to talk him into a running a store of their own, and on April 1st, 1995, the company that would eventually become The RACK was born. Their father played a massive role in the formation of both the company and his sons’ values, up until his death this past summer. “One thing our forefathers ingrained in us was to always be true to your word and stand behind everything you sell,” Leon says. Their father’s giving attitude has left a legacy of selflessness behind for the company that the brothers hope to bestow upon ensuing generations. “If someone needed help—whether it was one of his sons or a homeless person— he would help them out,” Leon says. He added that he found out recently after Danny’s passing that his father would move furniture into foster couples’ houses free of charge after hours without telling his sons. “He didn’t tell us, but we wouldn’t have been mad,” Leon says. This selfless attitude has led the Duvalls to give back to the community in other ways as well. They donate second-hand furniture to Main Street Mission and the Battered Women’s Shelter, and they make sure that people whose houses burned down have the clothes and furniture they need. They also keep their business local—Doug and Leon both buy their cars from in-town dealerships, and frequent local businesses. “We’re a family-owned business

furniture warehouse
that wants to keep business local,” Doug says. If customers aren’t convinced by their winning customer service, then they will be by their prices. “We have quality furniture at cheap prices,” Doug says. “No one can beat our prices. Period.” One of Leon’s most vivid memories was when they moved the company to Parkway. It was just the second building on Parkway at that point. The date in which they signed the papers to acquire the building was September 11, 2001. “It was one of the scariest moments of my life,” Leon says. “I don’t think anyone came into the store for three days.” While they had a short window in which to nullify their loan, the family declined—they had committed to opening the furniture store, and they were determined to continue with it. If not for themselves, then for the community. “Russellville needed this,” Leon says.

Pets & Vets BATHING YOUR DOG CAN BE A TREMENDOUS CHORE…
But A Huge Benefit
Bathing your dog can be a tremendous chore, but your dog may still benefit from a routine bath. As we move into a world of oral and topical medications to control fleas and ticks, dipping has become obsolete. Bathing has not, especially if your dog has any number of skin problems such as allergies, dry skin, or seborrhea. Depending on your dog’s shin condition, he or she may need a medicated bath weekly or as often as every two or three days. Check with your veterinarian for advice on which shampoo would benefit your pet the best. He or she is the only one to trust in this department as using the wrong shampoo may only make you dog’s condition worse. A few general rules in bathing your dog: • First, read the label. Most shampoos have specific directions to make them work the best. It may say “leave on the dog for 10 minutes to allow contact time with the medication in the shampoo.” This is a very important step. If you lather your dog and rinse it off immediately, the medication may not have time to work. • Second, we recommend using a sponge to apply the shampoo evenly and without wasting a lot of expensive shampoo. Pouring the shampoo on the dog’s back will not help treat conditions on the underside of the body and tail. Apply the shampoo to a wet sponge; a cheap one without
rough scrub pads is fine. Work the shampoo into the sponge and apply gently to all areas of the body. Keep your dog happy by gently massaging the shampoo into the hair coat for the recommended time. • Third, do not have your dog standing in water as you apply shampoo. The shampoo will not get to the feet where a lot of allergies cause problems as it will be diluted too quickly to be effective. Make the chore as fun as possible and your dog will feel and smell much better.

The Heritage of...
Magazine Telephone Company
In 1939, Henry Stone arrived in Magazine, Arkansas after traveling from Oklahoma. The purpose of the trip was to remove the switchboard, poles, and wire that made up the Magazine Telephone Company, but the trip took on a much more important light when Stone fell in love with the area. He and his wife Anna bought the company. The rest might be history, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not worth writing about. The fact that the Magazine Telephone Company has operated for over 70 years speaks volumes for its quality service. One of the more notable instances was during World War II, when the loved ones of service men frequented their house in an attempt to complete calls to the troops. During the night, Henry would pull their bed close to the switchboard so Anna could answer calls without getting out of bed. After World War II, the Magazine Telephone Company extended telephone lines to rural areas adjacent to Magazine. Anna and Henry passed away over the course of the next few decades, and their son Sonny stepped up to run the company.
Pg. 56 • Area Guide - Russellville River Valley 2012 • Holiday Edition
In the 1990s, the company saw great modernization, as they transferred to a new digital central office. Additionally, GTE toll circuits were placed on fiber optic cable that ran from Magazine to Russellville. This marked the first telephone company in Arkansas to have an all digital optic fiber network. Magazine Telephone Company started converting the outside plant to one party service. The project, occuring in 1986, consisted of placing 90% of the outside cable under ground. Within the last ten years, the company has expanded into the high speed wireless Internet service, which they now provide to Paris, Booneville, Russellville, Dardanelle, Pottsville, and Hector. Now, the Stone family employs eight family members. While each of them has different responsibilities to the company, they all remain ready to help the customer in any way possible. The family bond is strong with the Stones, and with sixteen grandchildren and eleven greatgrandchildren in the family, the Magazine Telephone Company should continue their rich family tradition for decades to come.

winter activities By: Sara Alvis Every year, around this time, I start dreaming of warmer climates. Images of sunshine, bare feet, and tropical thunderstorms haunt my daydreams. And I know I’m not the only one. Whether you battle Seasonal Affective Disorder symptoms or just get a mild case of the winter “blahs,” chances are – unless you live in Maui or Miami – you’re not getting outdoors as much as you should. I for one hate being shut inside with the windows closed, but I also don’t like being cold. So I’ll admit, it’s hard to drag myself out for fresh air and exercise. It’s important – for our health and sanity – to find some fun excuses to get outside. There are so many benefits to doing so: being active outdoors is a good way to cut calories and lose weight, the fresh air makes us feel better, and it’s a lot more fun and inexpensive than watching TV or surfing the Internet all day.

Be Prepared for the Cold If you want to enjoy yourself, then make sure you won’t freeze outside. Don’t just head out in sneakers, jeans and a sweater under your coat. Think layers. Wear thermal leggings and several layers under your sweater. Wear a hat and gloves. If you’re not cold and uncomfortable, you’re more likely to have fun and not run back inside after 5 minutes. It’ll also help prevent you from having to come up with natural cold and flu remedies and treatment. 18 Winter Fun Ideas Here are some fun and cheap outdoor activities to do around the River Valley during the colder months. -Build a winter bonfire and make s’mores. -Go sledding.

This might give you some fun, cheap date ideas for couples as well.

W orth The Short Drive ust over a year ago, Trilogy Therapy Services was based in Little Rock, its location since its Jinception in 2006. In 2011, Phil and Sandra Wyatt
decided to move their company to Dover, where they bring a wide variety of services to the River Valley area. “We decided to move here to provide support to the individual needs of the Dover and Northern Pope County communities,” Phil says. “We have the proximity to meet the needs of the residents of the area.” With a friendly, experienced staff, a multitude of services, and a professional yet down home atmosphere, it’s easy to see why Trilogy offers service worth the short drive. Trilogy offers speech pathology, as well as physical and occupational therapy for all ages and treatment for all diagnoses, including geriatric needs. Additionally, they can perform naso-endoscopic swallowing evaluations on-site at nursing homes. They treat post-operative patients with knee replacement surgeries, arthoscopic, hip replacements, and shoulder and back injuries as well, and provide for Medicare and Medicard and all insurance providers. They specialize in sports injuries, and have the experience to prove it. Phil is one of the few physical therapists in the area to have played sports at the collegiate level. Phil and Sandra’s experience is unrivaled in the area. Phil earned his masters in physical therapy from the University of Central Arkansas in 1995, and has been working as a therapist ever since. “I wanted to be around sports,” he says. “And physical therapy
Pg. 70 • Area Guide - Russellville River Valley 2012 • Holiday Edition
allowed me to be a part of that.” “Sports led me into it, but then I realized it was more than just sports,” he adds. “It’s about helping people.” Sandra graduated with a masters in speech pathology from UAMS, and has 28 years experience as a practicing speech pathologist. “In college, you are trying to figure out what you want to do,” she says. “And when I saw it, I was just like, ‘this is it.’” Another selling point for Trilogy is the quickness and ease with which they can bring patients in for treatment. There is no wait to begin physical therapy at Trilogy—“As soon as the doctor faxes us the information, we’re calling them that day to get them in the next day,” Sandra says. Some people don’t feel the need to take part in physical therapy, but Phil underscores the importance of taking part in physical therapy to become and remain healthy. “Physical therapy is necessary for the treatment of injuries and prevention of the recurrence of injuries,” he says. “There’s misnomers with people saying that it’s torture. We work within a patient’s pain tolerance for optimal healing. Our goal is to restore patients to their normal healthy lifestyle.” Trilogy is located next to Millard Henry Clinic, where they provide services in relation to the medical clinic. They are currently accepting patients. With over 35 years of therapeutic experience, it’s obvious Trilogy offers the best choice for River Valley’s residents.

WMP Marketing Gives Back WMP Marketing presented Dr. Carter and Don Guess of the River Valley Christian Clinic a donation for $1026.00 this month. We found out just what it means to be involved with a great group of people who knows the importance of giving of their time, their labor, and their knowledge. Just in the short amount of time we spent with these fine folks, it was very moving to see the dedication and determination that they have in their hearts. We here at WMP Marketing are so very proud to be a part of the great organization and would like to say “thanks” to all of the businesses that helped us highlight River Valley Christian Clinic. We look forward to helping with the River Valley Christian Clinics continued success.

Dr. Stanley D. Teeter joined Millard-Henry Clinic in 1965 and practiced there full-time until 2001. Since that time, he has filled in occasionally and most recently has been helping out at the River Valley Christian Clinic on a more regular basis. “I have been pleased to be involved in the River Valley Christian clinic from its inception in 2007. Five area churches were the founding churches and I was asked by the pastor of my church, First United Methodist Church to serve on the initial board. The founding churches were 1st United Methodist, 1st Assembly of God, 1st Baptist Church, Fellowship of Christians and 1st Free Will Baptist Church. “Since that time, under the leadership of Don Guess, more churches and civic organizations have been enlisted to support the River Valley Christian Clinic than I and count. The communities in Pope, Yell, and Johnson counties have been very supportive. Our volunteers come from all three counties and they are a special group of people. One of the highlights of my medical practice has been serving Arkansas Tech University as a team physician for over 30 years. However, serving as a volunteer at the River Valley Christian Clinic has been one of the most gratifying phases of my professional career. In addition to that, serving as the Medical Director for the Arkansas State Health Department Hospice Organization for the surrounding six county area has been another highlight of my career.” Dr. Teeter continued by saying, “the special group of people that volunteer at River Valley Christian Clinic has overwhelmed me. Their dedication and effort and empathy for our patients are astounding. It has been a pleasure for me to serve on the board and to serve as a volunteer.

Flu Season Tips Tip #1 WASH HANDS OFTEN.
Especially before eating, after using the restroom and after being outside. To do it right, use soap and warm water for 20 seconds. This is the recommended amount of time to get your hands clean. It is also important to dry your hands with a clean, fresh towel.
Tip #6 STAY HYDRATED.
Drink plenty of fluids, preferably water. After all, our bodies are mostly water, and the ongoing intake of water is essential to our every bodily function. This is a proven way to strengthen your immune system and helps you “flush” your body clean.
Tip #2 GET IMMUNIZED.
The flu virus can spread fast, so get vaccinated. You can get vaccinated for H1N1 and the seasonal flu in the same shot.
Tip #3 USE A TISSUE.
Cover your mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Tissues can help trap germs so they don’t spread. And remember; throw it away when you’re done. Kleenex® tissues have an extra layer of protection, the sneeze shield, a special protective layer in each tissue that helps keep stuff from soaking through.
Tip #4 COUGH OR SNEEZE INTO YOUR ELBOW
One sneeze can spray up to 3,000 infectious droplets into the air at more than 100 MPH. So if you don’t have a tissue handy, use the inner-part of your sleeve at the elbow. You can help reduce the fast spread of germs.
Tip #5 GET ENOUGH SLEEP
Kids ages 3 - 5 need about 11 to13 hours of sleep every night. Nine to 11 hours if they are ages 6-12. And adults should get no less than eight hours per night. This helps empower your immune system.

Getting Fit
For The New Year
A lot of people start out the New Year with a resolution... a vow of sorts to get in shape. Every. Single. Year. And every single year the gym gets crowded with people who ride the Cybex Arc-trainers for 20 minutes then are never seen again. The best way to avoid a situation like above is to figure out what usually stands in your way of success. And then comes the hard part -- figuring out a plan to work around it. Try one or two or all of these tips to help get you on your way to being fit, not only for the New Year, but all year round.
2) Pencil the gym into your schedule. Snap Fitness is open 24/7. There is of course lots of busy moms and dads and teens, too, but all it takes is 30 minutes a day to notice progress and feel instantly better.
You better not have turned the page! This is important, and is a great start to a healthier you in 2013.
4) With the new years comes new technology. Trust me, there’s an app for that. Pick your poison... or your pleasure: yoga, running, weights, whatever, and you can find apps with workout ideas and/or motivation. Also go to www.mysnapfitness.com for your personal fitness page.
1) Stop being self conscious. Nobody is judging you unless they are silently looking up to you for even being in there. Go in with confidence! Snap Fitness has a family friendly environment with a friendly staff.
3) Trade out cardio for some weight lifting. Cardio on treadmills is great for building endurance but weight lifting is where it’s at for losing weight and toning it into pure muscle. Adding muscle mass increases metabolism and overall makes you a healthier person.
5) Reward yourself: It takes about 21
www.arareaguides.com
repetitions for something to become a habit. Once you have racked up 21 regular workouts, reward yourself with a prize that will reinforce your goals, like a new workout outfit, some new songs for a motivating playlist, or a subscription to a fitness magazine. 6) Set a goal. Train for a race that supports a cause you believe in, or even decide that by your vacation this summer, you will be able to walk all over the city you’re visiting without a rest. 7) Have fun. Believe it or not, exercise is a blast when you find something you really enjoy. Think about what you loved doing as a kid, like running, riding your bike, rollerskating, dancing, or swimming, and figure out how to incorporate that for a workout once a week or so. Seeing results is the best feeling ever, so don’t give up, and take your New Year’s Resolution to a whole new level this year!

What questions to ask...WHEN BUYING A USED CAR
Often we are regretting the fact that we forgot to ask some questions when we buy a car. Either we forgot, or thought we would be bothersome. Then, we realized that we did not know all the details, we did not have a complete overview. This should motivate us to conclude the transaction with a peaceful soul. Buying a used car is a serious long-term investment that affects the personal budget. Besides asking the price, you are subject to additional charges you have not yet been able to estimate at the time of signing the contract of sale, simply because you did not ask the right questions. Therefore, take a piece of paper and write them. In the midst of the meeting with the car owner, you’re going to forget certain aspects, or be led in discussion in the direction desired by the seller: 1. Why is he selling the car? This question can reveal important details about the car and about the owner. If he’s leaving the country, you can get a lower price than the market average. If he cannot pay the loan to the bank or he cannot afford one, that means he’s having financial difficulties and is forced by circumstances to sell the car as soon as possible to a lower value. If he want to buy another car, that means that the money you will give may be an advance for future acquisition and he will decide to keep on price. 2. In what condition is the car? Although it is a general question and slightly elusive, the owner will help you get an idea of how it was maintained, and about the seller himself. Remember the details and check them in a car-service of your choice. If repairs

were made, ask the service book and receipts attesting to those mentioned. 3. Are you the first owner? If the current owner is not the first, then the car condition can be affected by the driver style, how it was maintained by two or more individuals. Ask how long he owned the car. It may be possible you have to deal with a weekend seller, who bought the car to resell it as fast as possible, hiding defects. 4. Was the car involved in any accidents? Although the seller might respond negatively, the truth comes to the surface when you go to a workshop or a representative, if the accident was a major one. 5. Consumption ? If he responds with an exact figure, for example, 8.5%, then you are dealing with an honest and meticulous owner who provides information in their raw form. If the error is too large, 8-10%, then you can ask questions on actual consumption. 6. What is the condition of the electrical system? Ask first about the battery. How new is it? What brand is it? The “made on boat” (no-name) can give you real trouble even with the radio. Are there energy losses, short-circuit the system? Is there any error in the board, all lights work? 7. What else should I know? Gearbox get neatly into steps? The clutch has any specific sound? What mileage have the tires? Purchased it new or second hand? Does it have a spare tire?

Although some details are surfacing after a professional checkout or after going to a mechanic or after a road test, you should try to find out this informations directly from the owner. If you’ve got him lying, you can quit the transaction without any regrets. 8. Does he lower the price? At the risk of sounding bothersome you have to ask this question. A hint he can give you is a rate price displayed. You must be sure he set the price higher than the one he has in mind. Also, depending on the answers to the questions above, you can negotiate the price (especially if you notice certain defects that can not be overlooked too easily).

Winter Tips For Vehicles Summer is over, unfortunately, and with the departure of warm nights and bright sunny days comes dark evenings and the freezing cold. Even though we are in October, it is rarely much better than the weather found over the December and January periods. It is important that your vehicle is up to scratch in the winter months as breaking down could have much more serious consequences than you think; in this article we will be looking at some useful and helpful tips to make sure your car is in tip top condition for whatever mother nature throws at us. Your antifreeze and engine coolant are vitally important during the winter. Antifreeze will help to protect and shield your engine against those bitterly cold winter mornings and will prevent any freezing up of your engine; it is important that this is checked and topped up regularly. Be sure to top it up with antifreeze and not distilled water as some mechanics may recommend during the summer months.
in icy conditions, so make sure you check frequently for any damage. The oil helps to keep the engine lubricated and removes any dirt that can interfere with the running of your vehicle. Ensure you are running the proper oil weight by consulting your owners manual as running oil that is too thick for your vehicle will result in trouble starting in colder temperatures and may result in damage to your engine. While these tips make seem commonsensical, it is surprising how many road users do not regularly maintain and check their vehicles, especially in winter; in some cases it can make all the difference.
Make sure that your battery is up to standard. A weak battery is the most common reason a vehicle does not start or has trouble starting on a cold winter morning so check it first to make sure all connections are secure and that there is no obvious corrosion or damage. If you are in an area that is regularly experiences temperatures below -25C you should consider installing a battery warmer to keep your battery from freezing over. Check both your tire pressure and oil level. An under inflated tire will not have a firm grip with the road surface and could potentially be lethal
