Janice McRae remembers it like it was yesterday.

In the early morning hours of Fri., June 11, 2010, the Montgomery County native left her home near Low-ery’s Camp Albert Pike and became one of the fi rst to discover the disas-trous damage that had been done by a historic flash flood at Albert Pike Recreational Area.

“I went over to the Forest Service park and at that time I realized there were fl ood victims,” she recalled during a recent interview.

Shortly thereafter, the fi rst light of sunrise peaked over the top of the nearby Ouachita Mountain foothills, in-spiring McRae to document the events in a poem entitled “Angel of First Light.”

This year, McRae’s ballad will be set in stone - literally - as part of a memorial to the victims of the deadly fl ood set to be unveiled Sat., June 11, on the “east beach” area of the park. Opposite the poem, an angel will stare down on the names of 20 people who lost their lives in the tragic deluge.

Debate about the future of the camp-ing area has raged since the day the disaster occurred, but the monument’s dedication represents more than a simple gesture of goodwill for McRae, whose friends and business associates were among those killed by the rising waters.

“Some of the people who perished that day were personal friends of mine,” she said. “I’ve asked everyone to please not get into the politics of it and just pay our respects.”

One of the most fre-quent questions Arkan-sans ask The Arkansas Department of Environ-mental Quality Recycling Division is, “What should I do with my old paint cans?”

There is more than one correct answer to this question. And since now is the time many are doing home improvement proj-ects, ADEQ staff is offering several easy-to-do and inexpensive solutions.

“If paint goes into a landfi ll it needs to be a dry

consistency,” says ADEQ Recycling Director Rob-ert Hunter. “Wet paint, whether it be oil-based or latex, can contribute to leachate problems.” If leachate, which is liq-uid that has dissolved or carries environmentally harmful substances, is not properly managed it can contaminate ground water.

For an inexpensive so-lidifier, Hunter suggests pouring cat litter, sand or sawdust into the can and stirring it into the paint.

This will keep the paint in a solid form that can then be included in your regular trash. The can it-self can be recycled. And don’t worry about having the can spot free. Even if it has dried paint on the top or the sides, it can still be recycled. The impor-tant thing is to make sure all of the liquid has been disposed of properly.

Hunter says you can also pour the paint onto newspaper in a thin layer, let it dry in the sun, and then dispose with the rest of your household waste.

“The one thing we don’t want Arkansans doing is opening the lid and set-ting the can in the sun to dry. What will inevitably

happen is only the top few inches will dry. The paint underneath will still be in liquid form,” adds Hunter.

In addition to concerns about the landfi ll leachate, disposing of wet paint can also cause problems for your solid waste districts and even your neighbor-hood. Many waste col-lection companies use trucks with compactors. If those paint cans are crushed with wet paint still inside, it can create a mess for the truck, the roads, and even yours or your neighbor’s yard or driveway.

Arkansans may want to check with their solid waste districts before doing any kind of paint disposal. Some commu-

nities have household hazardous waste collec-tion centers that will take residential quantities of paints, solvents, house-hold chemicals and pes-ticides.

Another option is to check with local churches or organizations like Habi-tat for Humanity. Often times, they can use your old paint to re-furbish homes for others. The Habitat for Humanity in Pulaski County will accept all colors of paint as long as the can is at least ¾ full.

But when it comes to solid waste of any kind, the best solution can al-ways be found in the fi rst R of the 3 R’s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Reduc-ing paint waste can be

as simple as using a tape measure and a calculator. Nearly every home im-provement store now has a paint calculator. Most calculators are available online. Simply enter the dimensions of your proj-ect and the calculator can tell you exactly how much paint to purchase. As a rule of thumb, one gal-lon of paint will typically cover 350 square feet. Us-ing exact calculations will not only reduce waste, but could save you a lot of money.

You can find contact information for your lo-cal solid waste district on ADEQ’s website: http://www.adeq.state.ar.us/sol-waste/regional_boards_sql.asp

I voted against raising the nation’s debt ceiling today because we’ve got to send a strong mes-sage that it’s past time to stop the out-of-control spending in Washington. Before I can support any increase in the debt ceiling, it must include meaningful spending cuts that will actually reduce our defi cits without punishing America’s working families and seniors.

The debt ceiling isn’t about new spending; it’s about meeting the debts and obligations we’ve already committed. It has been increased 36 times over the last 30 years, with President Rea-gan signing 17 debt limit increases into law and President Obama signing three so far. The debt ceiling problem isn’t new, but it’s reached a level that is unsustainable. Congress needs to stop the partisan bickering and start working together to draft a commonsense compromise that preserves America’s standing in the global economy, cuts spending and reduces our defi cit.

Instead of playing games with the debt limit, we should instead focus on how to get our nation’s fi s-cal house back in order. That’s why I have worked hard as co-chair of the fi scally conservative Demo-cratic Blue Dog Coalition to pass components of our Blueprint for Fiscal Reform, cosponsoring 15 defi cit or debt reducing bills, many of which have become law. This Congress, I’ve also voted to cut $38 billion from the 2011 budget and am working hard to build support for the Blue Dog Benchmarks for Fiscal Reform, which aims to cut the defi cit by $4 trillion over the next decade. Reducing our defi -cit is and will continue to be my focus in Congress as a fi scal conservative and as a Representative from Arkansas.

LITTLE ROCK - While technology continues to change our everyday lives, the State of Arkan-sas is also using it to keep our communities safer. The Arkansas Crime Information Center has recently launched a new online system that will help state officials and local law-enforcement protect our children, neighborhoods and com-munities.

Known by its acronym, CENSOR, this new system is a Centralized Electron-ic Network of Sex Offend-er Registries. It provides local law-enforcement offi cers and the Depart-ment of Corrections with the technology and tools to effi ciently register sex offenders. In short, it creates a sex-offender registration process that is faster and safer, and saves our taxpayers mon-ey. Along with notifying

the public sooner, the system also increases ac-countability for offenders, giving law-enforcement agencies more confi dence in tracking those offend-ers who are living in their communities.

We were able to de-velop the CENSOR sys-tem with a federal grant designed to assist local law-enforcement agencies with the processing and monitoring of sex offend-ers in their communities. It equips law-enforcement offi cers with an electronic signature pad and Web cameras to verify the identities of sex offend-ers and keep updated photos of them during subsequent visits.

Offenders are given their signed paperwork to take with them at their initial registration and subsequent verification visits. Offi cials can then electronically submit a

completed registration di-rectly to ACIC. The reduc-tion in paper forms and mailing costs is expected to save taxpayers $55,000 a year, while speeding up sex-offender assessment and public notifi cation.

The Department of Correction has been tak-ing additional steps to accelerate the assess-ment process. The Sex Offender Screening and Assessment Program has streamlined procedures and trained additional technical staff. Since last fall, these improvements have nearly doubled the number of assessments completed by the Depart-ment each month.

While the law protects the right to due process for all citizens, includ-ing sex offenders, the CENSOR system provides law enforcement and the public with the most cur-rent information, as soon as it is available. These recent advancements in our registration and tracking systems will im-

prove coordination and communication, allowing state agencies and local law enforcement to better inform and protect our citizens.

The ACIC provides a Sex Offender Registry Search for Arkansans who wish to access it. This information is updated regularly, and users can search for sex offenders by address or by name. The site also offers e-mail and phone notifi cations of updates of offender addresses.

ACIC has been able to achieve this remarkable improvement in managing our state’s sex-offender registry due in large part to its partnership with the Information Network of Arkansas (INA), whose primary objective is to provide technology and tools to make the jobs of law enforcement easier. I am very pleased with this system that will help keep our citizens more secure and hold offenders more accountable.

I love this time of year when all the berries start coming off. Strawberries, b l u e b e r r i e s , a n d blackberries…yummy! Here are few helpful hints to get more berries out of those plants that take so long to produce.

Stop bingeing birds with curtains. Are the birds getting more berries from your bushes than you are? To keep birds and other hungry animals out of your fruit vines and berry bushes, try this. Cover the vines and bushes with old, sheer curtains. The curtains will stop those eager nibblers with no harm done to creatures or plants.

Give blueberries new mulch for Christmas. You know your blueberries need mulching before January’s cold weather sets in, but you can’t possibly take the time to track down new mulch until after Christmas. Fortunately, the mulch you need might already be sitting in your family room. Once your holiday

celebrating ends, break down your live Christmas tree and use its branches for mulch. Evergreen mulches increase the soil’s acidity, and blueberry bushes insist on acidic soil. But you don’t have to wait for the Christmas season to arrive. Your blueberry bushes may appreciate evergreen mulch anytime they need protection from winter cold.

Treat blueberries with well-aged sawdust. What may look like old, rotting sawdust to you looks like a mouthwatering dessert to your blueberry plants. New sawdust just won’t cut it. To please your blueberries, sawdust needs to be old enough to rot a little. Give your blueberry bushes a mulch of well-aged sawdust and you may be surprised at what they can do. Just make sure you don’t use sawdust from chemically treated wood.

Mix blueberry varieties for better harvest. If you’re planting blueberry bushes, why not plant at least two different varieties? After all, blueberry varieties

from the “rabbiteye” group won’t even produce berries if you just plant one bush. They need to cross-pollinate to grow berries. But, even if you don’t grow rabbiteye blueberries, consider growing more than one var iety anyway. The “highbush” varieties are able to produce berries with just one bush, but you’ll get better results if you plant two highbush varieties.

Pick blueberries at their sweetest. Blueberries may not be completely ripe until one to three days after they turn blue. Could it be worthwhile to wait a day or two before harvesting those berries? Why not put it to the test? Clean and taste a few berries the day they turn blue. No matter when you decide to harvest most of the bush, tag a few newly blue berries and leave them on the bush for taste-testing. Sample several berries on each of the next three days. When you’re done you’ll know exactly when to pick to get the best-tasting blueberries.

The Belleville Cemetery Association was organized in 1945 with the first homecoming held the following year.

T h e h o m e c o m i n g services were held at various times during the Spring months of the year until directors had the foresight to set a specifi c time for the homecoming. The fi rst Sunday in June of each year was selected.

A board of directors is elected to oversee the maintenance of the cemetery and church. Their terms are for three years with a partial board

elected each year. Anyone having family members buried in the cemetery or anyone having an interest in the cemetery is considered to be members of the association.

The cemeter y and church are maintained entirely from donations. Anyone unable to attend the homecoming and who wish to make a contribution to continue this work, may mail their donation to Belleville Cemetery Association, P.O. Box 41, Lockesburg, AR, 71846.

“Juneteenth is about remembering the struggles and hardships of enslaved African Americans, and celebrating their freedom and generations to come. John Bush and Chester Keats, former slaves built Mosaic Templars of America. It’s quite powerful that the Cultural Center now stands as the cornerstone and foundation of their dreams nearly a century later” Quantia Fletcher, Director of Education at the Cultural Center said.

Juneteenth, also referred to as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19 that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas, with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free.

Local community leaders will offi cially begin the day with a reading of the Juneteenth Proclamation at 12 p.m., followed by tours of the Cultural Center and a wide range of entertainment and free activities until 7 p.m. Saturday’s events include:

Zinse Agginie and the Drum Ballet of Hope;Bongo Willie Drumming Circle;Parkview Players living history characters;Gloryland Pastor’s Choir;The Auction Block theatrical performance;There will be oral history interviews, cultural

face painting and hair braiding, rock climbing wall, music, games, food, vendors and more. The Cultural Center would like to thank the following partners, including the Offi ce of Governor Mike Beebe, City of Little Rock, Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site, Arkansas Black History Commission, Minority Health Commission, and Central Arkansas Water. For a complete list of our partners, vendors, and activities, visit our website www.mosaictemplars.com.

The Mosaic Templars Cultural Center, a museum of the Department of Arkansas Heritage, is dedicated to telling the history of African Americans in Arkansas from 1870 to the present especially in the areas of politics, business and the arts. Other agencies of the Department of Arkansas Heritage include Arkansas Arts Council, Arkansas Historic Preservation, Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission, Delta Cultural Center, Historic Arkansas Museum and Old State House Museum.

DE QUEEN – Steve Cole, Chancellor of Cossatot Community College of the University of Arkansas, announced in the regu-lar session of Cossatot’s Board of Visitors meeting on Monday evening, May 23rd at the Ashdown Cam-pus that the University of Arkansas System Board of Trustees reappointed two of the Board’s current members, Kathy Beavert and Jay Dooley.

Kathy Beavert of Mur-freesboro has served on the CCCUA Board of Visi-tors since 2001. She also served on the College’s Board of Trustees from 1995-2001.

Jay Dooley of De Queen

has served on the CCCUA Board of Visitors since 2001.

Cole added, “Kathy and Jay have been a huge part of the evolution of our col-lege and it is nice to see that they both will have the opportunity to oversee even more positive growth in size and quality. Our Board of Visitors is com-prised of what I call “rock stars,” meaning that all nine surpass everyone’s expectations of profes-sionalism and leadership. It seems our college has perfect people in all posi-tions…at every level.”

Both Beavert and Dool-ey will serve six year terms that will end June 30, 2017.

No worries ... simply bring the ad & paidreceipt back to the Nashville News and we willrun it again -- for free! It’s just another service

we provide our loyalcustomers in anattempt to betteraccomodate you.

June is busting out all over!!!! We know because company’s coming. It is time for the 66th Annual Bellville Homecoming sponsored by the Bellville Cemetery Association. It will be Sun., June 5 begin-ning with a program at 10:45 a.m. followed by a potluck basket lunch, with fun and catching up going on everywhere.

In case you haven’t been in awhile, (or per-chance have never been), everyone is welcome. Of course there is an oppor-tunity to fi nd out what is going on with the Cem-etery Association. They will accept donations.

If you can’t come and would like to correspond (or send money) their address is P. O. Box 41, Lockesburg, AR 71846. Every Saturday from 10-11 a.m. in the month of June the Lockesburg Library will have its 2011 Summer Reading Program. Read-

ers of all ages will travel the globe this summer as the Library presents “One World, Many Sto-ries” during their summer reading program. Children will explore places from around the world through stories, crafts, music, and other activities. The 2011 Summer Reading Program is open to Kindergarten through adult. Yes, this year we will have an adult program. Our progress will be recorded on a large world map. Every book read qualifi es the reader to one entry in a special prize drawing at the end of June.

The library is open Wednesdays and Thurs-days 9:30 a.m. to noon; 1-5 p.m. and Saturdays 9 - 12.The fi rst children’s program in “One World, Many Stories” begins this Sat., June 4. For more in-formation, call Ms. Wendy at the library at 289-2233. All programs are free of

charge. Don’t forget to check

out the new businesses in town. Drop in at Grubbs Heating & Air and Cindy’s Resale shop have opened at 3430 S. Camellia (the old peach shed). You can call Glen at (870) 784-1380, or Cindy at (870)784-3149. Their hours are Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

We do not have a Secret Good Samaritan this week. There could be several reasons for that. The one we are choosing is that we’ve been unobservant this week. We’ve been tied up in too many of our own activities to pay attention to the folks around us. So…we would still love a call from someone about someone doing something nice. It also is a reminder to ourselves that we are missing what truly is im-portant.

VBS at First Baptist is going to “The Big Apple” for the week. It will be held June 12 through June 16 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. for pre-schoolers through 12th graders. The excite-ment is building for the “trip” to visit the Big City.

There is also a kickoff event schedule for June 8 at 7 p.m. that will be a “Don’t Miss This Action Moment.

The Lockesburg Lion’s Club will meet on June 14 and June 28 at noon at the Bank of Lockesburg.

The Lockesburg City Council will meet on June 14 at 6:30 p.m. at Lockes-burg City Hall. The Provo Fire Department will hold Bingo and Burgers fund-raiser for the Little Britch-es rodeo on June 18.

There are only three weeks left until the June 15 silent auction is over at First Baptist Church on a hand crafted knife made by Ross Tyser of Spartanburg, S.C. Pictures of the knife are on the First Baptist Church of Lockesburg, AR Facebook page. You can also get some history on the knife maker at rtcustomknives.com. The high bid at the moment is still $330 and “Play Night” is each Thurs-day, beginning at 6 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of First Baptist Church for those people who just love to create something. Grab a project and come

“play.” If you want to bring a little potluck something to share that is always welcome as well.

The Annual Lockesburg Car Show will be held on Sat., July 2. If you have an old vehicle that you want to show off a little or a lot. Read Tidbits for contact information in the next week or so.

July 4 is fast approach-ing and believe it or not we got wind of some stuff hap-pening. We’ve been talk-ing about the Tomahawk Throw and that is looking more and more like it will happen. The National Guard is bringing a Foot-ball and a basketball Toss game. The packed picnic cooler to be raffl ed is go-ing to be given away that day. The fi reworks are or-dered and the concession stand is stocked. Now, all they need is you to come out and remember that this is a fundraiser along with everything else it is. The Ida Margaret Coulter Stone Park is operated by

sales from the concession stand and your donations. Please help keep it that way. There is still a lot in the “works.” The Park Commission/Committee needs members, volun-teers, and helpers for this event. There will be space for vendors and fund rais-ers. We got our thinking caps on and would like to suggest that some Relay for Life teams get an early start on 2012 on July 12.

A Single Shot Triple Bar-rel Rossi Set is on display at Baker’s Pawn Shop in De Queen. It is being raffl ed off for the Provo Volunteer Fire Department and will be given away at the Kids Rodeo and BBQ on Sept. 17. If you want tickets, contact any mem-ber of the Provo VFD, or at Baker’s.

To get items in Lockes-burg Tidbits, send e-mail to [email protected] or call her at (870) 784-0993. Our dead-line is Monday mornings at 9 a.m..

pedite” the process of receiving the six-figure sum. A check for $3,700 is enclosed for the unsus-pecting “winner.”

The sum is then de-ducted from “your total winning of $120,000 to enable you [sic] pay for the applicable winning charges which is $2,700.”

As soon as the payment is acknowledged, “the bal-ance of your total winning - which is $119,300 - will be released to you either by cashier’s check, money order or wire transfer to your designated lo-cal bank account. Please do not attempt to use this check until you call and speak with the claim agent.”

“People do not need to cash the check or send money to anyone,” the sheriff said. “They will lose their money…it is a scam,” he ended.

Summer is here! Even if the calendar does not officially mark summer until mid-June, just step outside. Hot temperatures are upon us.

When you hear the words “summer safety” you may think about life-guards and sunscreen. But as you move into our sum-mer schedule, you need to think about consumer safety, too.

Identity theft is on the rise and it is more impor-tant now than ever that you take steps to prevent your identity from being stolen.

Here are some tips to help protect your money and personal identity as you swing into summer and as you travel during summer vacation.

Make sure you keep your purse or wallet with you and think about what you’re carrying in your wallet as you travel away from home.

Take time before you board the plane or leave your home to purge your purse or wallet of unnec-

essary items.It is important not to

carry your Social Secu-rity card in your purse or wallet. Your Social Se-curity card needs to stay at home or locked up in a safe place.

Make sure you only take the personal identifi cation you need and the particu-lar credit or debit cards you intend to use while you are away from home. Leave everything else in a secure location.

It is important to always check your receipts when you make a purchase, but be extra careful when traveling.

Anytime you make a purchase, be sure to check your sales receipt. If you are at a restaurant, store or gas station, al-ways check the receipt. It is important to make sure charges are accurate. Mistakes can happen and it’s much easier to correct the mistakes when you are still at the store than after your get back home.

If you find an over-charge, it can usually be

refunded to you as cash, depending on your meth-od of payment.

Or if you’ve used a cred-it card, the overcharge can be refunded as a credit to your account.

Finally, be really careful when you are using credit cards or debit cards on summer vacation.

It’s a good idea to go ahead and sign the card on the back so the sales clerk can check your signature to make sure that it’s ac-curate.

Make sure you always put your credit card back into your purse or wal-let after using it for pur-chases.

Take an envelope or small zippered wallet or purse with you to put your receipts in. Put all receipts in the envelope or wallet to have when you return home. Be especially careful about credit card receipts and keep them in a safe location.

Don’t leave them ly-ing around in your hotel room. Once you return home and no longer need the receipts for tax pur-poses or personal travel purposes, destroy the receipt by shredding it. Don’t throw any receipt

that has personal informa-tion on it, including your credit card number in the trash.

Lastly, when you return home and receive your credit card statement, be sure to look it over carefully to make sure the charges are correct. If you fi nd anything that looks suspicious, be sure to contact your credit card company as soon as possible.

Remember, never lend a credit card to anyone, never sign a blank credit card receipt and never leave any credit cards or receipts lying around in your hotel room.

It is sad to think there are dishonest people in the world, but the fact is there are.

Take steps to insure your identity safety. For more information on cred-it cards or to receive a free credit card register that can be used in the event your credit cards are sto-len, contact the Howard County Extension Offi ce at 870-845-7517 or visit our offi ce located on the second fl oor of the court-house.
