Centerpoint

in bonire
accident
PJ TRACY IV
Editor, Glenwood Herald
GLENWOOD – An accident
involving two Centerpoint basketball
players and another Centerpoint
student in a postgame celebration
was confirmed in a statement by
school district superintendent Dan
Breashears.
“There was an accident on
Saturday night that involved three
Centerpoint students, two of which
are on the Knights basketball team.
Although one of the students was
hospitalized, none of the injuries are
life threatening. It is not known at
this time if or how this will affect the
students’ ability to be at the game on
Wednesday. Mostly, we are grateful
that they, nor anyone, else was more
seriously injured.”
The Knights will face Jessieville
in the first round of the class 3A state
tournament on Wednesday at 2:30 in
Jessieville.
Some members of the team and
student body had allegedly gotten
together to engage in a celebratory
bonfire after the team’s 64-61 victory
over Smackover in the finals of the
regional tournament. An accelerant
used to start the fire exploded causing the injuries.
The team members involved
were Tanner Brunt and Logan Taylor,
while the other student involved was
Jansen Cowart.
All the boys were sent to the
hospital, with Taylor and Cowart
experiencing second degree burns.
After the statement issued by
Breshears, it now appears that Brunt
will be able to play in Wednesday’s
game.

LOViT TRAIL – Aussie, Hunter Dodds
ran 100 grueling miles in less than 22 hours
to win the 100 mile portion of 2016 Lake
Ouachita Vista Trail Endurance Run. Chris
Ho of North Little Rock ran 100 kilometers
in just over 10 hours to win the 100K competition.
There were 18 runners who completed
the 100 mile race. A feat that required
them to meet intermediate times at four
checkpoints throughout the race. They
were also required to inish the race in 34
hours or less.
Hunter Dodds, 38 years old from Bilgola
Plateau, AUS, ran the course in 21 hours 52
minutes and 34 seconds to earn top honors
in the 100 mile race. Consistency was the
key for the winner who started the race at
a pace of 11 minutes 23 seconds in the irst
leg of the race and inished the race with
pace of 13 minutes seven seconds per mile.
Second place went to Dale Humphrey

According to a statement released by the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Ofice an investigation
into an alleged incident of animal cruelty has been
closed without any charges to be iled.
According to the sheriff’s statement, The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Ofice carried out several
interviews over the course of their investigation.
The investigation revealed that the individuals
involved did not mutilate, or torture the animal in
any way.
They ascertained through the course of their
investigation that the individuals involved thought
the animal to be deceased after being shot off
campus. Later it was taken onto Caddo Hills School
Campus where it was discovered to be alive.
At that point, the individuals tried to kill the
animal with what they had at their disposal. The
statement reiterated that there was no evidence
of any criminal intent on the individuals’ behalf.
The animal in question was a bobcat which was
brought to campus by a student who had been
trapping the night before. The student killed the
animal on campus after it was discovered to be
alive. The school resource oficer was contacted
and he determined that the student in question did
not have a irearm in their possession on campus.

Keep Gitmo open
The 2015 National Defense Authorization Act
passed by Congress prohibits the President from
closing the detention center at the U.S. Naval Station at Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba (Gitmo) and bans the
transfer of its detainees.
President Barack Obama
signed this bill into law. In
recent days he submitted a
vague and dangerous plan
to Congress to close Gitmo
and move detainees to U.S.
soil – violating a law that
he approved three months
ago.
Transferring these vile
terrorists to American communities cannot and should
not be an option.
Gitmo is a state-of-theart detention facility that is
well-equipped to handle the
world’s most dangerous terrorists. I saw this irsthand
during a 2011 visit. The operations at the naval base
are safe, humane, legal and
transparent. This is a wellguarded, isolated facility.
No community in America
has a facility that offers the
security of Gitmo.
I am concerned that
President Obama is more
worried about fulfilling a
campaign promise to close
Gitmo than he is about the
security of the American
people. The reality is that
transferring detainees to
American soil threatens our
national security and poses
a risk to our citizens.
In January, Secretary of
Defense Ash Carter told
CNN that there “are people
in Gitmo who are so dangerous that we cannot transfer
them.”
Bringing them to the
American heartland is not
the answer. The American
people don’t want terrorists
detained in a facility in their
community.
In its submission to Congress, the administration
said it reviewed 13 potential
facilities that could be used
to detain these terrorists.
While it did not name the
locations, last year Pentagon officials visited sites
in Colorado, Kansans and
South Carolina. My colleagues from these states
have been voicing their
concerns for months about
how Guantanamo Bay detainees are not welcome in
their states, just like they
wouldn’t be welcome in
Arkansas.
The American people
don’t want terrorists as
neighbors. That’s why Congress has soundly rejected
the President’s proposal to
close Gitmo.
As a longtime advocate
for ensuring the military
prison remains open, I’ve
voted to prevent its closure
R e c e n t l y, P re s i d e n t
Obama announced his plan
to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay. Despite opposition from the
majority of Americans, it
seems he is intent on using
his last 11 months in ofice
to carry out an ill-advised,
ideological campaign promise. Worse, he will just wash
his hands of the disastrous
implications next January,
but America will suffer the
consequences long after he
leaves ofice.
Guantanamo Bay is a
irst-rate detention facility
that’s kept terrorists off the
battleield and played a critical role in our counterterrorism efforts. It allows us
to concentrate trained experts in interrogation in one
place to extract intelligence
of paramount importance
in uncovering and stopping
plots against Americans.
Information obtained from
detainees at Guantanamo
has been described by
the CIA as “the lead information” that enabled the
agency to recognize the
importance of a courier for
Osama bin Laden, a crucial
understanding that lead to
the U.S. raid that killed him.
If Guantanamo Bay closes,
we will lose that kind of
valuable information.
As par t of his plan,
President Obama also announced he plans to transfer many of the remaining
Guantanamo Bay detainees
to other countries. Let’s
consider what’s happened
to those “detainees” who
have been already been
released from Guantanamo
Bay over the last several
years. Over six hundred
and fifty detainees have
been released from Guantanamo, with 196 being
confirmed or suspected
of having returned to the
battleield-a 30 percent recidivism rate. This number
is likely much higher and
is made even more stark
when measured against
the recidivism rate of those
who haven’t been released:
zero.
And those detainees
that can’t be transferred
to other countries? President Obama plans to bring
John
Boozman
U.S. Senator
and blocked funding for the
transfer and release of Gitmo detainees. I support legislation to restrict transfers
and encourage requiring
that each high-value enemy
combatant who is captured
or otherwise taken into
long-term custody by the
United States, be detained
at Gitmo.
At a time when we are
fighting global terrorism,
holding these dangerous
terrorists within our country’s borders is not the
solution our citizens want.
We need to utilize this facility. Since President Obama
took ofice, no new detainee
has been transferred to this
detention center.
Instead, the administration has released or
transferred the terrorists
to other countries. The
same day the President
submitted his plan to close
Gitmo, Spanish authorities
announced the arrested a
man for recruiting Islamic
State fighters. That same
man had once been a detainee at Gitmo.
I believe that we must
keep Gitmo open. I will continue to ight the President’s
efforts to close this facility.
Tom
Cotton
U.S.
Senator
them here, to the United
States where they will be
imprisoned in our regular,
maximum security prisons.
Bringing them to our shores
is not only unnecessary and
dangerous, it is also unlawful. President Obama’s
own military and Attorney
General have both said they
lack the legal authority to
transfer detainees to the
United States. President
Obama can’t ignore that
reality.
Rest assured, I am committed to ensuring this valuable counter intelligence
tool remains open and to
increasing the number of
terrorists sent there. Simply put, President Obama’s
plan to close Guantanamo
Bay is dead on arrival in
the Senate.

The governor announced
that he would call a special
session to begin April 6 for
the legislature to consider
changes to the state Medicaid program.
Changes to Medicaid are
usually dificult because it
is such a large and expensive program. Changes are
needed though, because it
has been growing as a category in the state’s overall
budget.
Last iscal year, the Arkansas Medicaid program
spent $5.2 billion. According
to a consultant hired by the
legislature, conservative
estimates are that Medicaid
spending will increase to
$6.9 billion over the next
ive years.
Te n y e a r s a g o t h e
state Medicaid program
spent $3.15 billion. Of that
amount, $2.3 billion was
federal funding.
Medicaid covers about
512,000 Arkansans under
the age of 20, about 60,000
Arkansans over the age of
65 and about 206,000 Arkansans from 21 to 64 years of
age. They have low yearly
incomes and some have
disabilities.
Medicaid pays for twothirds of the care of nursing
home residents in Arkansas.
More than half of Medicaid
spending, or 55 percent,
is for care of the elderly
and adults with disabilities.
About 66 percent of Medicaid beneiciaries are below
the age of 21, but they account for just 45 percent of
total spending.
The governor’s proposed
changes to Medicaid would
encourage employers to
offer health insurance to
workers, and if necessary
the program would pay a
portion of the premiums.
Health beneiciaries would
be required to sign up for
job training and job placement. Another change
would require some Medicaid patients to make copayments.
The special session will
be a week before the beginning of the iscal session,
when legislators adopt state
agency budgets for next iscal year.
The legislature has generally considered only budget bills during iscal sessions. For example, during
the 2014 iscal session the
legislature enacted 300 bills
and all but one were spending measures sponsored by
the Joint Budget Committee. During the most recent
regular session, in 2015, the
legislature enacted 1,289
bills. Fiscal sessions take
place in even-numbered
years and the lengthier
regular sessions take place
in odd-numbered years.
Setting limits on Medicaid spending in the special
session will be an essential
irst step in the budget writing process that will culminate in the writing of the
overall state budget during
the iscal session.
The other major categories of state spending are
Larry
Teague

Senator
public education from kindergarten through grade
12, higher education and
prisons. The state funds prekindergarten programs too.
Other law enforcement
functions funded by state
government are supervision
of parolees and people on
probation, the State Police,
the state Crime Lab, the attorney general’s ofice and
appellate courts. The state
Law Enforcement Training
and Standards Commission
operates academics that
train police oficers.
Also, the state maintains
and builds highways with
special revenues, such as
the motor fuels tax and fees
on heavy trucks. Relatively
smaller agencies include the
Parks and Tourism Department, the Economic Development Commission and
state Revenue ofices where
people can renew their car
tags and drivers’ licenses.
The state Military Department is in charge of
the Arkansas Air National
Guard and Army National
Guard. The Department of
Environmental Quality enforces clean air and clean
water laws, and regulations governing landfills
and hazardous waste storage sites.
Aloe variegata, Tiger Aloe
My fondness for cacti
and succulents is complicated. I like to contemplate
the many ways their physical forms have been modiied over time to survive
difficult environments.
Being a lazy gardener, I also
appreciate their toughness and their tolerance of
my sometimes-neglectful
ways. And then some of
them are just so cute such
as the tiger aloe (Aloe ariegate).
About 400 species of
aloes have been described
from Africa, the Middle
East and Madagascar,
where they range from
small, clump-forming succulent herbs to small trees.
Tiger aloe is native to the
southern tip of Africa and
has been grown in gardens
there since the late 17th
century, when the Dutch
East Indian Company irst
established control of the
region.
Tiger aloe is one of the
smaller aloes, growing only
about 10 inches tall in leaf.
It is a slowly spreading,
clump-forming stoloniferous plant with 3-ranked
leaves terminating in a
blunt point. The plants
have a rough, textured,
warty feel and are marked
with irregularly spaced
oblong white crossbands
along the leaf.
Spikes of bright orange
lowers appear in mid winter from the terminal cluster of leaves. Individually
the lowers form a narrow
tube with six petals and
are about an inch long. A
closely related species, A.
slandeniana, occurs at the
drier end of the range for
tiger aloe but has chubbier
leaves and slender pink
lowers.
Back in the day, I knew
aloes as members of the
lily family. es, this family
was impossibly large and
included a bunch of plants
that didn’t look at all alike,
but it was convenient. No
more. Thanks to the use
of DNA technology and
international cooperation
between botanists, the lily
family has been busted up.
Aloe belongs to the Xanthorrhoeaceae family (Australian plants that look like
a cross between yucca and
big bluestem), subfamily
Asphodeloideae.
I appreciate and use
plant families because it
gives me a handle on understanding something
about plants that are new
to me. In this case – in a
kind of botanical horse
trading – the botanists
lumped three closely related subfamilies together
in their 2009 meeting into
an umbrella classiication
based on their close DNA
relationship, but separated
them into subfamilies because they just didn’t look
very much alike. I generally
like the idea of lumping
things together, but this
time I think they missed
the boat.
Tiger aloe is an easy
aloe to grow. Its small
size makes it a good fit
for a coffee table or windowsill plant and its easy
culture makes it a sure bet
for even gardeners with
brown thumbs. It should
be kept in smaller pots,
usually under six inches
in diameter. A well drained
potting mix designed for
cacti and succulents can
be used or you can combine an organic potting
soil with one third coarse
sand. Adding a teaspoon of
lime to the mix will also be
beneicial.
Aloes are hard to overwater as long as the pot is
well drained. In the winter
cut back on watering, but
in late January increase
the watering schedule as
the lower spike emerges.
Fertilizing in the spring,
when the plant is moved
to a shady area outside for
the summer, and again in
the fall when it is brought
in, should keep it growing
and lowering well. Propagation is easy in the spring
by division.

All About Peppers
A pepper is a type of pungent (strong tasting, often spicy) fruit that comes from a variety of different
plants. Peppers are used mainly for cooking; they are sometimes dried and ground into spices, used
fresh in recipes, jarred and pickled, or made into sauces. A few peppers are known for their medicinal
purposes, but all peppers are high in vitamins and antioxidants, making them healthy. There are two
main types of peppers--mild, sweet peppers and spicy, hot, chili peppers. Peppers can range from
mild to excruciatingly hot, and they vary in color from dark red, orange, or green to light yellow. Most
of the heat in peppers comes from a chemical found in them called capsaicin. The more capsaicin, the
hotter the pepper is. The heat from peppers is rated by a measurement system known as the Scoville
Heat Unit System, created by Wilbur Scoville in 1912. Pure capsaicin is a massive 16 billion on the
Scoville scale. The sweet bell pepper measures zero on the scale, while the hottest known pepper,
the Carolina Reaper, tops out the scale at a record 2,200,000! It was bred speciically for heat by researchers in South Carolina and was recorded as the hottest pepper on Earth in 2013. Other types of
hot peppers are the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion (previous record holder for hottest pepper at 2,009,000
Anaheim, Banana, Bell, Bhut Jolokia,
Scoville units) and the Bhut Jolokia (1,000,000 Scoville units) once known as the World’s spiciest hot
Carolina Reaper, Cayenne, Cherry,
pepper. There are also more common peppers like the habanero chili (350,000 Scoville units), Thai
Habanero, Hungarian, Jalapeño,
pepper (100,000 Scoville units), cayenne pepper (50,000 Scoville units), and the Jalapeño pepper
Moruga Scorpion, Naga Viper, Poblano, (8,000 Scoville units). The sweet peppers--bell peppers, banana peppers, cubanelles, pepperoncinis
Pot Douglah, Pot Red, Santa Fe, Scotch and Anaheim peppers--are commonly used for cooking.

“This is where the cowboy rides
away.'George Straite
Heb 11;1
which I have many because I am
older than dirt myself, asked as
we loitered around the free coffee
and donut section at a blood donor
meeting, “Can y’all help me? I’m
trying to think of a saying that goes,
‘Some days are somethin’ and others are ‘somethin’ else. How does
that go?” I volunteered that John
Denver wrote the song, Some Days
are Diamonds, Some Days are
Stone. Another guy said he thought
it was Some Days are Diamonds,
Some Days You Get Stoned. Yet
another said he was probably think-
ing about Denver, Colorado where
they legalized pot. That brought up
the saying, “We’re gonna put the big
pot in the little one,” meaning have
a swell time, in the South. People
from Minnesota don’t think that
makes sense unless you say it with
a Swedish accent. Then it becomes
colorful commentary.
I was in Minnesota a while back
and got to thinking about all the
Scandinavian jokes that are prevalent there, since nearly everybody is
descended from Sweden, Finland,
Norway or Denmark. I was in the
hotel bar, sipping an herbal tea of
course, when a fellow plopped down
on the stool next to me. We were the
only two at the bar but he flashed a
big smile, stuck out his hand and
said, “By yumpin’ yimminy, you
must be a stranger to Minneapolis,
let me buy you some anti-freeze
before dat stuff dere rusts out your
radiator.”
I introduced myself and he said,
“My name is Sven Knudsen and I
got yust enough time for vun drink.
My wife Lena is meeting me here
to take me to dat political caucus
meeting here in dee hotel.”
I said, “Wait a minute, your
name is Sven and your wife is Lena?
Are you the source of all those Sven
and Lena jokes?”
“Ya, shure, I guess. Lena vill be
along pretty soon. You’ll recognize
her. Dat voman is so broad dat
vhen she takes her girdle off, her
feet disappear. Of course I shouldn’t
yoke about a voman who at dis very
moment is hooked up to a machine
dat keeps her alive. It’s called a
refrigerator.” We both laughed at his
irreverence but when Lena showed
up she was gorgeous, blonde and
slender. I told her what he had said
and she replied, “Some gals are
diamonds, some guys are a lump
of coal.”
The spent arrow hit the bullseye.

THE SPENT ARROW
There is an old saying, “The
hasty word like the spent arrow can
never be retrieved.” The younger
generation may not even know what
is meant by a spent arrow so let me
explain that it has nothing to do
with spending or archery. There are
many axioms, which incidentally are
not related to hatchets, machetes or
tomahawks. An ax is an ax as in Ax
Murderer, Ax chopping of wood or
Ax somebody somethin’.
So it was with great interest
recently when an elderly friend, of
Game and Fish announces new director
Jeff Crow, Director AG&FC
LITTLE ROCK – Commissioners unanimously approved Jeff
Crow as director of the Arkansas
Game and Fish Commission at its
Feb. 18 meeting.
Crow, AGFC chief of staff, will
assume the role of director July 1.
He will replace Mike Knoedl, who
is retiring after 31 years with the
agency. Crow will be the agency’s
17th director in its 101-year history.
“I’m very humbled by the Commission’s decision, but I also am
very confident moving forward,”
Crow said. “The direction and
support this Commission has given
Director Knoedl and myself gives
me that confidence. The staff of the
AGFC are like none other in their
passion and dedication, and I think
we are really poised to continue this
agency’s momentum in managing
the natural resources of the state for
the people of Arkansas.”
Each Commissioner spoke
highly of all candidates interviewed
Caddo Gap Baptist Church
for the position.
“I feel very comfortable that long
after I’m gone that we are in good
hands with the leaders in place at
this agency,” Commissioner Steve
Cook said. “You have a great staff
underneath you, and I look forward
to the progress you’ll make for the
people of Arkansas.”
Knoedl echoed Cook’s comments.
“I’ve been given a lot of credit
for this agency’s success, but I’m just
one man. We have an all-star team of
employees that are passionate about
what they do, and I truly think they
are the best employees of any agency
anywhere, not just in the state.”
Crow worked as an AGFC
wildlife officer from 1986 to 1996
before accepting a position with
Arkansas State Police, where he
worked until his retirement from law
enforcement in 2011. He returned
to the AGFC in 2012 as colonel
of the Enforcement Division, was
promoted to deputy director in 2013
and AGFC chief of staff in 2014.
He also served 25 years in the Marine Corps, both active and reserve.
He is a combat veteran of Operation
Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi
Freedom II. He holds a Bachelor
of Science degree in organizational
management from John Brown
University and a master’s in public
administration from Arkansas State
University.

Seniors Sought to
Participate in 2016 Silver
Haired Legislative Session
The Department of
Human Ser vices, Division of Aging and Adult
Services, in partnership
with the Arkansas Area
Agencies on Aging, is
seeking Arkansans age 60
and older to volunteer to
serve as delegates to the
Twentieth Biennial Silver
Haired Legislative Session
(SHLS) being held August
17-18, 2016. Delegates
will serve as legislators in
this non-partisan session
by writing, debating, and
voting on bills addressing
issues critical to older
Arkansans.
Organizers are seeking
one delegate from each
Arkansas county. Anyone
interested in becoming a
delegate should contact
the Area Agency on Aging in their county or
the Division of Aging and
Adult Services. County
candidates need to circulate qualifying petitions
and submit them to their
Area Agency on Aging by
April 15, 2016. Elected
delegates will receive
training on topics such
as the legislative process,
how to write bills, and
how a bill becomes a law.
The Silver Haired Legislative Session has been
conducted biennially
since its institution by a
1977 General Assembly
resolution sponsored by
Rep. B. G. Hendrix and
the late Rep. W. F. “Bill”
Foster. It is one of at least
28 such sessions held
throughout the country
to give senior citizens a
chance to participate in
the legislative process.
Bills from the SHLS also
have an opportunity to
be introduced at a regular
legislative session and
that has occurred several
times.
For more information
please contact Gwen Ervin-McLarty of the Division of Aging and Adult
Services at 501-320-6557
([email protected] kansas.gov) or your local
Area Agency on Aging.

Hittin’ the Trails...
Jerry Shields
Old Fall River Road
If road travel is one of your
passions the spectacular roads
of our National Parks will offer
unique and often challenging
opportunities to test your road
skills. Many of our parks,
especially the western parks
have carved roads through
some of the most challenging
terrains imaginable.
One of our favorites is the
panoramic Trail Ridge Road
of Rocky Mountain National
Park. This road to the clouds
basically followed the old
Arapaho Dog Trail used by the
early ancestorsof the Arapaho.
The Arapaho ancestral grounds
were all on the western slopes
of the continental divide. The
dog trail was their path to the
hunting grounds on the eastern
slopes rich is elk and mountain
goats.
The precursor of Trail Ridge
Road was the Old Fall River
Road the irst road to the park’s
high country. This road, the
irst into the high country of
the park, was built with mule
drawn plows and the backs
of hundreds of men slowly
carving a single lane gravel
road with impossibly tight
curves and up to 16% grades.
Following the Fall River’s
narrow gap the road finally
reached the area where the
Park’s Alpine Visitor center
sits today.
We have camped and hiked
in the park many times over
the years enjoying some of the
inest hiking trails found in any
of our parks. We however had
never explored the Old Fall
River Road’s serpentine route
to the summit still unchanged
from almost a hundred years
ago.
On this visit we left our
campsite in the popular
Moraine camping area and
drove the short distance down
into the bottom of the Fall
River basin where the river
wanders through a shimmering
green meadow. The river in
the basin is dotted with huge
beaver lodges and glistening
pools of icy snow melt. At
the east end of the basin the
park’s paved road ends at an
old iron gate then the road turns
to gravel and often has deep
muddy potholes, this is the
start of the Fall River road. The
going was slow due the rough
nature of the road and the steep
inclines that are the backbone
of this 1921 road.
Today this eleven-mile
long road is straight uphill
and is punctuated with sharp
switchbacks and steep dropoffs but it also offers a few
small turnouts where you park
and take short hikes. There is a
small parking area right beside
the road about a mile in from
the entrance where you can
hike over the river and explore
a narrow gorge where the river
is squeezed to less than twenty
feet wide.
We were lucky enough to
ind a parking spot for ahike up
to a roaring waterfall crashing
down through a narrow gap in
the black granite walls of the
gorge. We hiked up the gorge
along the bank of the river
holding onto trees and boulders
to keep from sliding down the
slope into the river.
Chipmunks and squirrels
were everywhere pestering for
a handout. Some even climbing
up on our daypacks looking for
and open pocket. After hiking
back to our car we decided to
cool off before proceeding up
the road to the summit.
Near our parking area was
an inviting eddy among some
small boulders so we took off
our boots to cool our feet in the
snow fed waters. Cold does
not adequately describe the
numbing effect of the water
after only a couple of minutes
of soaking. It was refreshing
but took several minutes before
our boots and socks warmed
our feet again.
As we drove slowly upward
we inally came to the broad
treeless slopes just below the
visitor center. This shimmering
green pasture- like slope was
home to a herd of over ifty elk
all grazing on the late spring
grasses. The females were
gently nudging the new calves
to stay close to the herd. The
stately bulls grazed on high
ground above the herd to keep
an eye out for uninvited young
bulls looking to single out a
stray female or two. It was a
picture right out of a National
Geographic magazine and we
were only a 100-feet from the
herd.
When you reached the
summit and pulled into the huge
visitor center parking area you
have sense of accomplishment
for having survived the many
challenges of the old road. You
also have a deep respect for the
hardy men who hacked this
narrow roadway from granite
slopes of this beautiful park.

The Caddo Hills Booster
Club showed support for our
Lady Indians making to it
State by packing goodie bags
for them to take with them.
Appreciate everyone who
helped out.
And the following is
something very nice from Bud
Dunson about CHHS. Bud
works for Guardian ambulance
service and it is something you
all need to hear.
“To say I was impressed
at Caddo Hills school is an
understatement. The behavior
and involvement of the
students was amazing . All
of them , not just the athletes
,were impressive. The young
men parking cars,the students
cleaning the gym. They
demonstrated that the size of
a school has nothing to do with
its quality.”
The will be a beneit smoked
meat dinner and auction on
March 5th for Helen Migues
Wright to help with medical
expenses. The dinner will start
at 5 p.m. at the Caddo Hills
cafeteria and the auction will
begin at 6 p.m. The beneit
is being sponsored by the
local Modern Woodmen with
all proceeds plus a matching
amountt up to $2,500. From
Modern Woodmen. If you
would like more information
or you have items to donate,
please contact Dicey Horn at

And primary voting day
slipped up on me this year.
With all the campaigning
and all the hoorah that goes
with it, I got so lost in trying
to figure out who I would
actually vote for that I almost
missed the day itself. I hope
everyone exercised their right
to vote and that you will vote
in the general election as well.
Our voices need to be heard
for whatever candidate we
support..
Hoping we have finally
seen the end of what winter
we had and we can get those
gardens going and try to dodge
the ticks that will probably be
as big as volkswagons this year
since we didn’t have enough
cold to kill them.
I have begun posting past
columns on the Norman News
faceback page should you
ever want to look back at
something.
As always you can tell me
when you see me or send your

Monday morning we began
our week with our daily exercise
program and then we mixed
in some fun with a little more
exercise by bowling on our
x-box. We enjoyed an afternoon
illed with gospel music as we all
sang together in the chapel.
Tuesday after our morning
exercise we went into the kitchen
where did some baking. We
gathered in the auditorium in the
afternoon to watch some I Love
Lucy episodes and sipped on hot
cocoa as we watched.
Wednesday after our daily
exercise program we met up
front and went into Hot Springs
where we visited the gangster
museum, and everyone really
had an enjoyable time there.
We went to Chicken Express for
lunch and everyone seemed to
like the food there. Those who
stayed home had our weekly
Bible study group that meets in
the activity room.
Thursday after exercise
we had our country “store”
and celebrated our February
birthdays during our lunch hour.
We had a really cute art project
to ill our afternoon hours.
Friday morning after exercise
we got pampered a little with
manicures as we sipped on hot
tea or cocoa, and listened to
some country music play in the
background while visiting with
one another. We loaded up on the
big van after lunch and headed to
the dollar store where we picked
up some items we needed to get
through the weekend. We got
home in time to be greeted by our
good friends the yarn workers.
Saturday after we had our
daily exercise we played one of
our house favorites, you guessed
it, bingo! We had a domino game
to help pass along the afternoon
hours.
Sunday morning after
breakfast we had our weekly
Sunday school class in the
chapel, and after lunch we had
our devotional hour in the chapel
as well, and they both always us
feeling as if we can face the week
ahead with a smile!
We want to thank all our
volunteers for your time and
many talents and remind you
if you would like to become
a volunteer, please feel free to

We just want to thank everyone for their love, support and
generosity. We lost everything except what matters the most, our
lives and our friends. I encourage you to check your smoke detectors
and make a family evacuation plan because it can happen to you!
I wish I could name everyone but it would be impossible. This is
such a great community and the people are as well.
Isaiah 9:10 “The bricks have fallen, but we will build with dressed
stones; the sycamores have been cut down, but we will put cedars
in their place.”
Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus said to him,“You shall love the Lord your
God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your
mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second
is like it. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two
commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
Thank you,
Trey, Penny, Mattie and Luke Fiorello
