local True Value store. Betts stated that he felt Mount Ida was a
great town and felt they needed the signs.

Visitors to Mount Ida
and those just passing
through are new greeted
by new welcome signs
thanks to a local business
man and his employees.
The new signs, which
are located on either
end of Mount Ida on
Highway 270, are the
brainchild of Cameron
Betts, the owner of True
Value, and his employees.
Betts stated in an
interview that as he traveled
he noticed that most small
towns had signs on the outskirts of town that welcomed
visitors to their community.
He felt that Mount Ida need-
ed some as well.
“Mount Ida is a great community and I felt it needed
some nice welcome signs.”
Betts commented.
He designed the sign and
then some of his employees
built them at the store.
All of the materials came
from the store so the sign is
truly a “Hometown Sign.”
The welcome signs are
lit and feature the Arkansas
Quarter design created by
Mount Ida resident Dortha
Scott, as well as a tip of the
hat to the quartz crystal
industry. The sign also
proudly proclaims that
Mount Ida is the “Home
of the Lions.”

Prescribed burn
season begins
The Ouachita and Ozark-St.
Francis National Forests will be
conducting prescribed burns in
Arkansas and Oklahoma over the
next several months.
The purposes of these burns
are to reestablish fire’s natural
role in the forest ecosystem,
improve forest health, and
reduce the threat of catastrophic
wildfires. Prescribed burns are
conducted when the conditions
indicate that there will be minimal impact to the public.
Persons with smoke
sensitivities, who are not on the
Forest Service’s prescribed burn
notification list, should contact
their nearest ranger district to be
added.
Many conditions must be
met before a prescribed fire can
be ignited. The day chosen
must be a combination of the
correct humidity, wind speed
and direction, temperature, fuel
moisture, and atmospheric conditions. Factoring in all these
requirements limits the number
of days in which a prescribed
fire can take place.
The Ouachita and Ozark-St.
Francis National Forests will
notify local media outlets on
days when prescribed fires
are scheduled. Daily updates
on prescribed fires across the
forests can be found at www.
fs.usda.gov/ouachita or www.
fs.usda.gov/osfnf or by calling
1-888-243-1042.

MOUNT IDA – A new name over
a familiar business offers the same
quality service that many expect from
the local barber shop in Mount Ida.
Andrew’s Barber Shop, located on
the corner of the old Gibson Building
just off Highway 270 in Mount ida, is
owned by Andrew Thompson.
Thompson, who previously owned
Andrew’s A Step Ahead Barber Shop
in Glenwood, is excited about becoming a part of the Montgomery County
community.
Thompson started cutting hair in
the 90’s in the Little Rock area and
stepped away from the business to
become a Pulaski County police oficer.
After 13 years on the force Thompson decided to return to the barber
chair and moved to Glenwood where
his father serves as pastor of a local
church.
Thompson stated that he had
wanted to come to Mount Ida when
he moved to the area three years ago,
but felt Hewitt Hicks was doing a good
job serving the area.
While running his own shop in
Glenwood Thompson was named
the best hair salon two out of three
years he was there. He joked about
being a barber and winning best
hair salon, but clariied that he also
had ladies working for him who did
women’s hair.
Thompson has left the salon business behind and is now proudly just
a barber shop.
The interior of the shop has

An open letter to custodians
of consecrated ground
There are over eighty
cemeteries in Montgomery County. I have only
been able to contact
representatives of a few.
Some graves have been
unattended and neglected for years.
There will be a meeting at lunch at the Senior
Center, February 9, to organize a non proit board
that will be concerned
with every burial. Every
decoration day sees multiple appeals for dona-
tions and volunteers.
There are many families with loved ones
in several cemeteries.
There are also folks who
lack funds to take care of
burial services.
Banding together will
enable our community
to bring a directed general response to the inal
resting places of those
we love, and slo make
more funds available. I
am applying for grant
funds for Little Fir Ceme-
Tax season is here
You may have heard that
men are from Mars and women are from Venus but one
thing we have in common
is that we have to pay taxes.
Married individuals have
the option to file joint or
separate tax returns. Make
the most of your tax dollar
by choosing the best option
for your inancial situation.
If you’re married, you may
be wondering if it’s better to
ile your tax return together or separately. For most
couples, there are more
advantages to iling jointly.
However, there are a few
instances when you might
want to ile separately. Some
deductible expenses are
limited based on a percentage of your adjusted gross
income (AGI). So, if one
person had a large amount
of, for example, medical
expenses and a smaller income; that individual might
be able to deduct a larger
portion by iling separately.
Joint ilers often beneit
from higher income limits for
tax credits and greater allowable deductions. If you’re
married, you must ile jointly
to claim the Earned Income
Tax Credit, the Child and
Dependent Care Tax Credit,
education credits, and credits/exclusion for adoption
expenses. Other credits or
deductions may be limited
for married couples who ile
separately. You can prepare
your taxes both ways - on a
joint return and on separate
returns - to ind out which
method gives you the lowest
total due or highest combined refund.
See all of the rules for
iling status and tax credits
from the Internal Revenue
Service at www.irs.gov. IRS
Publication 17 has 2015 iling
status information that can
help you decide to ile jointly
or separately. Go to https://
www.irs.gov/publications/
p17/ch02.html
For those who need help
with iling taxes, there are
options to have those 1040s
filed for free. Commercial
tax preparers charge from
$55-$100 for a basic return.
Products such as refund anticipation loans and refund
anticipation checks add $60
or more in extra fees.
However, there are options at every income level.
And while those with complicated returns may need
help from professional tax
preparers, the average tax
iler can save a lot by using
a free service.
Here are some options to
consider:
Online - IRS Free File is a
partnership between the IRS
and the Free File Alliance.
Use Free File Software if your
income is $62,000 or less and
Free File Fillable Forms if
your income is greater than
$62,000. Find more information about IRS Free File
at www.freeile.irs.gov.
My Free Taxes is stepby-step online iling for individuals and families with
incomes of less than $62,000.
The 2015 MyFreeTaxes Partnership campaign, now in its
sixth year, allows free, online
federal and state preparation
and filing in all 50 states.

According to the state Education Department, there
are eight academic subject
areas this school year in
which Arkansas has a shortage of licensed teachers.
That means qualified
teachers and school administrators can take as many
as six hours of college level
courses to become licensed
in those areas, and they will
be eligible to receive reimbursements of up to $3,000
from the state Higher Education Department.
Reimbursements can
cover tuition, mandatory
fees, text books and required
supplies for classes.
The deadline to apply
for reimbursements is June
1 of every year. These are
the critical shortage areas
designated by the Education Department for the
2015-2016 school year: gifted
and talented classes, foreign
languages, library media,
mathematics, special education, drama and speech, family and consumer sciences
and art.
The legislature irst created the program in 1987. Lawmakers expanded it in 2005
with Act 2196, which created
the Teacher Opportunity
Program (TOP) and the Duel
Certiication Incentive Program, to provide financial
help for teachers who return
to college to get licensed in
additional subject areas. The
school district that employs
the teacher is authorized to
provide the teacher administrative leave and to help
offset the tuition costs.
Another program to offset teacher shortages is
the State Teacher Education Program (STEP) , also
administered by the Higher
Education Department. It
helps teachers pay federal
student loans of up to $3,000
a year for licensed teachers
who work in geographic
areas designated as having
a critical shortage of teachers, or who teach academic
courses designated as having a critical shortage of
teachers.
The deadline to apply for
STEP grants also is June 1
of every year. To qualify for
both TOP and STEP grants,
the applicant must have
a valid Arkansas teaching
license.
The number of people applying to become teachers in
Arkansas has declined since
2010, both in traditional and
non-traditional preparatory
programs. In the traditional
teacher preparation programs at public and private
colleges the number of enrollees has gone down from
7,067 in 2010 to 3,555 in 2015.
In non-traditional programs the number of applicants has gone from 1,188 in
2010, up to 2,090 in 2013 and
down again to 1,703 last year.
A non-traditional program, Teach For America,
will add more than 200 new
teachers in Arkansas school

districts where the overwhelming majority of students are from low-income
families.
The governor announced
that he would release $3
million from a discretionary fund to hire 150 new
teachers through Teach For
America. They will work in
rural school districts in eastern and southern Arkansas
where 86 percent or more of
the students are eligible for
free or discounted lunches.
The expenditure will be
matched by another $3 million from private businesses
and philanthropic groups,
which will be used to hire
65 teachers in the Little Rock
School District. It will be the
irst time teachers prepared
by Teach For America will
work in the Little Rock district, which has been taken
over by the state because of
deiciencies on test scores at
six schools.
The 150 new teachers
hired from the governor’s
discretionary fund will teach
about 9,000 students in rural
Arkansas. The 65 teachers in
Little Rock will have about
4,000 students, and will work
in subject areas of highest
need.
Celebrating Arkansans who
paved the way for equality
Arkansans have a long
history of creating change
to make the world better.
As we recognize Black History Month, it’s important
to share the work and dedication of those who were
instrumental in breaking
down barriers and ighting
for equality. These Arkansas heroes recently passed
away, but made an enormous difference in our state
and nation by pursuing their
dreams and challenging the
status quo during their lifetimes.
M i l t o n
P i t t s
Crenchaw paved the way
for integration in the United
States military and influenced generations of aviators as a member of the
Tuskegee Airmen. This Little
Rock native had the distinction of being one of the
original supervising squadron commanders for the
Tuskegee Airmen, training
hundreds of cadets during
the 1940s, and helping break
barriers in the military. His
passion for aviation continued after his tenure at
Tuskegee, serving as a light
instructor at several air bases, including Camp Rucker,
Alabama, where he became
the irst black light instructor. Crenchaw honorably
served with the U.S. Army
Air Corps and the U.S. Air
Force for more than 40 years
and was instrumental in cre-
ating an aviation program at
Philander Smith College in
Little Rock.
Civil rights activist Ozell
Sutton was a Gould native
who helped lead the ight for
desegregation in the Natural
State and throughout the
South alongside Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. and other civil
rights leaders. Sutton earned
a degree in political science
from Philander Smith College. As the Arkansas Democrat’s irst black journalist,
he made a difference in how
the newspaper covered the
African-American community. Sutton also served as a
decoy at Central High School
in 1957 when the Little Rock
Nine integrated the school
and was attacked after the
mob figured out he was a
decoy.
Sutton led integration
efforts in Arkansas as assistant director of the Arkansas
Council on Human Relations
from 1961 to 1966. He joined
the historic march on Washington and marched for voting rights in Selma, Alabama.
Following the death of Dr.
King, he served Governor
Winthrop Rockefeller as the
director of the Governor’s
Council on Human Resources from 1968 to 1970, and
continued his public service
with the U.S. Department
of Justice Community Relations Services. He served as
the Director of the Southeast
John
Boozman
U.S. Senator
Region from 1972 until his
retirement in 2003. In addition to his lifelong work for
civil rights, Sutton is also
remembered as one of the
first African-Americans to
serve in the United States
Marine Corps.
After the U.S. Supreme
Court ruled on Brown vs.
Board of Education, schools
in the south were slow to
abide by the court’s decision. However, former Senator Dale Bumpers, who
was a small-town layer in
Charleston, encouraged the
Charleston School Board to
comply with the ruling, making it the irst school district
in the South to desegregate
its schools. He was also credited with providing opportunities for African-Americans
in state government during
his time as the Governor of
Arkansas.
We can and should be
proud of the role these Arkansans played in shaping
our nation. Recognizing their
efforts to achieve equality is
important as we continue to
advance equal rights for all
people.

What Will the GroundhoG Say?
In America and Canada, people have observed what is known as Groundhog Day on February 2 since
around 1886. Groundhog Day is a prediction of what the weather will be like in the months to come. Tradition
states that the groundhog will emerge from his underground burrow. If he comes out of his burrow and stays
above ground, Spring will come on time as predicted; however, if the groundhog sees his shadow and is
scared back into the ground, we will have six more weeks of Winter and cold weather. The most famous of the
weather-predicting groundhogs lives in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, and goes by the name Punxsutawney
Phil. His home, or burrow, in Pennsylvania is called Gobbler’s Knob.

Story News
Sing your praise to the Lord!
by Melba Reed
I don't recall January 31
ever being such a pleasant sun
shining and warm day as it was
this year.
Vanita Abernathy went to
her home in heaven January
26, after a long lengthy illness.
She taught Sunday school class
at Refuge Baptist for years and
she was an excellent teacher
and did so many other things
at the church. When she was
bed fast she was still helping
call prayer request and she
prayed a lot for sick, bereaved
and other problems that people
requested. Her husband, Alton
took care of Vanita, he cooked
and did everything that she
needed done. Other people
would have helped Alton but
Vanita had such bad allergies
that she requested no visitors.
A large crowd of relatives and
friends attended her funeral
at Refuge on Friday, January
29 at 11 am. A big pot luck
meal was at Refuge after the
burial in Breashears Cemetery.
Alton and all of Vanita's family
greatly appreciate everything
you did especially your
prayers.
Elece Parliment also died
January 26 and her funeral was
at Mount Ida Church of God
at 10 am on Friday, January
29. I heard that a large crowd
of family and friends attended
her funeral. Elece was a former
employee of Thornton Funeral
Home. Please pray for her
family.
Brenda Minton is proud
to announce the arrival of a
grandson, Billy Dean Minton
III (who will be called
Trace). He arrived January
20 weighing 9lbs 10 oz and
21 1/2 in long. Proud parents
are Billy Dean Minton II
and wife, Amanda and sister,
Dally Ann who is 2 years old;
grandparents are Brenda and
the late Billy Dean Minton;
Lisa Forga and Tracy and
Regina Forga.
Bro. Robert Watson and
wife, Annette of Arkadelphia
visited in the homes of Helen
Mayberry; Don Shrout and
Beth Smith on January 28.
Ella Sue Smith Norman and
her sister, Johnnie Faye McKay
visited Helen Mayberry on
January 29. They had attended
the funeral of their irst cousin,
Vanita Abernathy.
Bernice Johnston told me
that she has improved and
that she greatly appreciates the
irst responders and everyone
for the prayers and all other
concerns that was shown for
her when she went "code blue"
some weeks ago.
Among others who needs
and appreciates your prayers
are: the family of Ronald
Christenberry, family of
Stanley Smith, Paul Dee Reed,
Delmer and Faye Qualls,
Beverly Reed, Gary Reed,
Elise Morrison and Eva Beggs,
the kidney transplant surgery
was scheduled for April 12
at Baptist Hospital in Little
Rock. I doctor called Elise
and said Baptist is closing
their transplant unit and were
transferring her to UAMS.
She was real disappointed.
Hopefully they won't put her
at the bottom of the list, Glen
Whiley, Clorece Tabor, Jean
and G.A. Breashears, Bro.
Paul Burke and wife, Audean
Faucett, Wilma Tedford,
Maurine West, Bert and Ruby
Johnston, Gladys Noles,
all of the USA military, all
leaders and everyone which
include Dylan Richardson.
Dylan is the son of Crystal
and Dustin Richardson and
grandson of Shirley Abbott.
Dylan graduated from Marine
Boot Camp in San Diego, Ca.
He will get to be home until
February 24. The family and
friends are thankful to see
Dylan.
A strange frightening thing
happened Sunday night. The
late David Church's sister,
Joyce called Shirley Abbott
and while they were talking
Joyce dropped her phone and
fell at her home in Virginia and
Shirley at her home in Story.
Shirley could hear Joyce and
ask could she reach her phone
but she could not. Shirley
called the Montgomery County
Sheriff Ofice and before the
night ended, Joyce's daughter
was called and Virginia Police
located Joyce and took her to a
hospital with a broke hip and
she was to have surgery. Joyce
might have died if it hadn't
been for Shirley.
Please pray for all the
sick, bereaved, unsaved and
everyone including me and
my husband.
Remember "God is our
refuge and strength, a very
present help in trouble".
Psalms 46:1.
Happy Birthday
To our beloved mother,
grandmother and
mother- in law
Bernice Johnston
February 6
We love you so much,
Your Family

1000 Islands
On a recent road trip to
explore the lands along the Saint
Lawrence River we discovered
a 50-mile stretchof this world
famous waterway dotted with
hundreds of islands known since
the 1800’s as the “Thousand
Islands “. This archipelago of
1,864 islands located in the
massive Saint Lawrence River
is bordered on the north by the
Canadian Province of Ontario
and on the south by upper New
York State.
After visiting Niagara Falls
we were traveling north along
the winding but scenic NY State
Highway 104 paralleling the
eastern edge of Lake Ontario
where this massive lake ends and
the Saint Lawrence Waterway
begins. We were searching
for the 1000 Islands KOA
Campground situated on an
island just west of Watertown
New York.
This island campground
could not have been more
remote or charming. As we
wound down narrow county
roads passing ishing cabins and
homey waterfront housesmany
decorated with trophies of the
wide variety of ish found in the
waterway.This unique island had
a colorful history as a corporate
retreat for GE, a YMCA Center
and an Olympic Sailing Center.
It was the most unique KOA we
had ever visited.
Departing this campground
we picked up another winding
roadway that follows the shore of
the waterway, NY State Highway
3. The shores on the US side of
the waterway are hilly and as
you drive NY3 you have grand
views of the almost 2,000 islands
that stretch some ifty miles up
into the waterway. Canada and
the US agreed that “to count as
one of the Islands, emergent land
within the river channel must
have at least one square foot of
land above water year-round and
support at least two living trees.”
An interesting historical note
was Carleton Island, the site
of a ruined British fort, Fort
Haldimand, built in 1779 by the
British during the revolutionary
war. This Canadian island was
captured by three lone American
soldiers during the War of 1812
and remains a part of the United
States today.
Several of small islands were
purchased during late 1800’s
by members of America’s new
wealthy who constructed what are
now considered castlesaccessible
each only by water. Two of the
largest is the Boldt Castle and the
Singer Castle both of which can
be viewed from NY3. Both are
now museums providing insight
into America’s gilded age during
the industrial revolution in this
country. We regret not taking
the time to tour these two castles.
This area of the Saint
Lawrence Waterway is nature
lovers and cyclist’sparadise
as there are many trails and
bikeways that course along the
banks of the waterway both in
the US and in Canada. New
York State alone has thirty state
parks located in the area of the
1000 islands.
We observed many old
summer fishing lodges that
have drawn fisherman from
around the world seeking their
own record Brown Trout or
Muskellunge. In addition, there
are a number of the Grand Hotels
who for over 100 years servedthe
grand and not so grand who
frequented this area searching for
summer retreat from the teaming
heat of the cities of the northeast.
At a café near Alexandra Bay
we stopped for another of our
second breakfasts of blueberry
pancakes and slab bacon. The
Café placemats stated that the
islands gave their name to the
ever-popular Thousand Island
dressing invented by Sophie
LaLonde of Clayton, NY, the
wife of a popular ishing guide
and diner operator. Eventually
the receipt fell into the hands of
George Boldt, the proprietor of
the Waldorf- Astoria Hotel who
had the dressing added to the
hotel’sfamous menu in 1874.
We have vowed to return
to this area for a leisurely
exploration of the many
intriguing historical sites that
dot this aquatic paradise as well
as the massive Adirondack and
Catskill State Parks nearby.
Feed My Sheep
by Brenda Forga
Well we started the month
of January with fewer people
coming into the food pantry
but we ended the month with
a lot of people coming in. I
do not know why but maybe
they still had plenty of food.
We had some days at the end
of the month that we had 40
families come in in one day.
David Anderson and I
went to Project Hope to
pick up pantry food and
also to pick up food for the
children' s program. We
currently are supplying
weekend food for 86 children
all over the county through
the program at school. We
are purchasing the food
for Caddo Hills, Oden and
Mount Ida school children.
So far the program is going
really good. We are pleased
and I know the teachers and
children are pleased. I get
good reports about that from
the teachers.
We escaped the threat of
snow a week or two ago,
we are thankful for that but
winter is not over is it.
The pantry has had 3 or
4 homeless people come in
looking for blankets, food
and cooking utensils. I send
them to the Nursing Home
Auxillary for the cooking
supplies but we have had
blankets and food for them.
Two young men told me they
were about to freeze as they
are sleeping in a tent. As
cold as it has been I feel bad
for them. Another man told
us he has no place to go and
will be sleeping in his car.
There are a couple of people
in Mt Ida that we all see
around town all the time that
are homeless. They will find
a place to stay or to live, they
will not be homeless forever
but our hearts go out to them.
Wouldnt that be horrible
to have no where to go, no
where to get warm and sleep,
no hot food to eat. We all
need to count our blessings.
I would be beside myself
if I had no where to live.
Sadly it seems to be getting
worse. We give them food,
blankets and coats when we
have them and hope and pray
things get better for these
people. There are many like
this in the cities.
We need to thank Turtle
Cove Spa for the collection
of food they brought in,
also several area churches
bring in collections for
us. I always ask for food
donations but we also have
a need for toilet tissue, soap,
toothpaste, toothbrushes etc.
etc. to hand out if you would
like to help in that way. We
also use lots of ziplock bags
in the quart and gallon sizes,
plastic grocery bags, tuna,
stew, soups etc.
We thank everyone for
your generous donations of
money and food to help us
feed the hungry.
You may mail donations
to The Montgomery County
Food Pantry, P O Box 1443,
Mount Ida, AR 71957.
Come by and visit with us,
you might get interested in
helping us once in a while
. Thank you to everyone
again and may the good
Lord bless you for your
generosity.

THE DASTARDLY
DEED OF DUDLEY
DORPER
Oh, the shame of it all. One
of America’s proudest to claim
the title of Cowboy had to get
run over and stomped by a sheep.
It all started a year ago when I
bought a few head of Hair Sheep
to keep the grass mowed around
the barn. I bought some common
ewes so I decided to get a high
powered ram of the Dorper
breed to improve the lamb crop.
Dorpers have a distinctive color,
white body and a cold black neck
and head. I bought a ine young
ram, named him Dudley Dorper.
He seemed ine until I separated
him from the lock to allow the
ewes to lamb. I gave him daily
feed and he quickly illed out to
look a lot like J.J. Watt. That was
ine until one day he decided I
looked a lot like a Quarterback
and he blindsided me. Actually
he blindbehinded me. It was
almost dark and I’ll swear I went
so high I could see the lights of
Houston 50 miles away. I landed
face down and broke my ibula. I
wasn’t too worried until Doctors
translated that to English and I
discovered that was my leg.
I’ve taken a lot of ribbing
about it. As I hobbled along with
the aid of a walker kids would
sing out “Grandpa got run over
by a Dorper, walkin’ out to feed
a sheep one eve. You can say that
Dudley is no danger but as for me
and Grandpa we believe.”
It’s been 6 weeks now and
I’m almost healed up except for
the nightmares. People think it’s
cute to push me on stage and
say, “Break a leg.” I can tolerate
clogging but no break dancing,
please.I even shudder when
passing by Brake Check.
So it was a pleasure to hear
from my old pal, Bunkie Hill,
who put his sentiments into a
poem to solve my problem and
e mailed it to me. I quote:
“A rancher in Wharton
County, one bright December
morn
set out to feed his livestock,
carrying a bucket of corn
He had a large herd of cattle,
and cattle prices were steep
So for his pride, on the side,
he acquired himself some sheep
One big ol sheep was a stud,
bigger than J.J. Watt
overloaded with testosterone,
he'd rather ight than not
The rancher turned his head
away, the old Ram saw his
chance
With a mighty lunge and a
heat butt, it was lights out on
the ranch.
In the ield as he lay, keeping
watch on his sheep
the shepherd saw stars and
angels but knew he wasn't asleep
The Orthopedic Surgeon said
" You are one lucky man,and
I can ix you well enough, you
should be able to stand-if you want to avoid another
visit, there's really nothing to it
when next it's time to feed that
sheep, let your wife do it!"www.

I was thinking about
Jay Upton; the first glass of
Muscadine wine I ever tasted was
some Jay had made. You never
know what memory someone
will have of you, try to make sure
they will be good ones.
I know we are all enjoying the
warm weather but getting reports
that snakes are already active
here and there, so just be aware
they are not denned up like they

And guys, here is you early
warning for Valentine’s Day
which is less than two weeks
away. I will let you in on a
secret too, it is not so much
about lowers and candy as it is
that you remembered. You don’t
need to spend a hundred dollars
on roses. Sometimes a bouquet
of early jonquils that you picked
from a sunny spot in a cow
pasture will mean way more to
her. And dinner at a restaurant
is really nice since she doesn’t
have to cook and clean but have
you thought about taking her out
to the place where you took her
on your very irst date? Buying
her a cherry coke or splitting a
milkshake might mean more to
her. You are welcome.
Also Ash Wednesday Service
is coming up on February 10th
at 6 p.m. at Barr Memorial. The
community is welcome to attend.
FREE Bluegrass Show!
This Saturday
February 6th

The 2016 Montgomery
County Calendar with vintage
photos that the museum produces
each year is ready for sale. The
photos that are selected from our
archives are always interesting
and we try to include county
speciic dates and events on the
calendar pages. These make
terrific gifts for friends and
family who are interested in our
county. The price is still $5.00
and the calendars are available at
the museum. For an additional
$3, a calendar can be mailed
directly to you!
We heard that some folks
have recently been hearing a bit
of rumbling around Blow Out
Mountain in the northwest part of
Montgomery County. During the
1850’s and early 60’s, there were
many cannon like noises that
emanated from the mountain and
there must have been eruptions
to cause the sunken area and
indentations down the side of
the mountain. Do you have any
stories in your family of this
history? And are the noises still
currently being heard?
Please remember the
commemorative ornament for
this year! Featured is the original
courthouse that served the county
until 1923 when the existing
courthouse was constructed.
In 1846 there was a one room
log building constructed as the
“County House” and in 1873 a
second story was added to that
building that was then surfaced
with wood siding and painted
white. There was a small balcony
added off the upper level. Later
porch posts were installed to
support a full second story
covered balcony. Also pictured
on the ornament are the one
story stone Clerk’s Ofice, built
in 1909, and the wooden gazebo
that covered the courthouse well.
It’s a beautiful dark red ornament
and a lovely collectible!
It is so wonderful when a
request is answered! Quite a
while ago we asked for any
information or evidence of the
Carpenter Jam and Jelly business
that was quite popular here. A
long metal sign “Pure Jam &
Jelly” that hung below the main
business name sign was brought
in. Then just recently we received
an empty Carpenter apricot jam
jar with the gold label fully
intact. What a delightful surprise
that this jar had been tucked
away and saved. We are so
pleased when items like this are
found and shared. This business
was popular also because they
operated a small drive-in with
sparse seating inside that locals
enjoyed frequenting. Love our
heritage and memories!

AG&FC to host
trout fishing derby
LITTLE ROCK—Oaklawn isn’t the only place to
ind a derby in The Natural
State. The Arkansas Game
and Fish Commission will
be hosting a special troutfishing derby Saturday,
Jan. 30, 2016 at MacArthur
Park Pond in Little Rock.
The AGFC’s Family and
Community Fishing Program will stock hundreds
of rainbow trout in MacArthur Park before the
event to make sure young
anglers have plenty of opportunities to catch a ish.
Derby participants should
bring their own bait and
tackle. Door prizes and
gifts will be given away
during the derby to keep
things lively. The derby
will begin at 9 a.m. and last
until noon.
A special trout-fishing
clinic also will be held
from 6 p.m.-7:30 p.m. on
Thursday, Jan. 28 at the
Witt Stephens Jr. Central
Arkansas Nature Center to
help new anglers learn new
tricks to catch trout.
Clint Coleman, assistant
coordinator for the Family
and Community Fishing
Program, says catching
trout requires different
equipment than the catish
the AGFC stocks during
warmer months.
“The big hooks and large
baits you use for catish are
overkill for trout,” Coleman
said. “We want everyone at
the derby to be successful,
so we’re giving this clinic
to give them all the tools
they need to load up a
stringer.”
Call 501-907-0636 to register for the clinic. Registration is not required for
the derby.

sites and more information on the AGFC’s Family
and Community Fishing
Program.
