Break time
Many stay close to home for spring break BY KELLIE COBB SUN STAFF WRITER
Many families in Northeast Arkansas decided to stay close to home for spring break this year and take advantage of local offerings. The Forrest L. Wood Crowley’s Ridge Nature Center offered a full week of programming geared toward students. “On Tuesday and Wednesday we had a combined 1,500 visitors,” said Lee Elkins, education specialist at the nature center. She added that the visitors were from Northeast Arkansas, as well as out of state. This was the first year for the nature center to offer such programming during spring break. Elkins said the week-long event replaced its spring family fair, which is usually held in May. “We gave it a try, and it has worked very, very well. There’s obviously a lot people who decided not to go out of town for spring break,” Elkins said. Jill Kary, education-tour coordinator at the Arkansas State University Museum, said the museum had triple the amount of visitors it usually does. “It’s been mostly school kids and their families,” Kary said, adding “We were happy to see them.” State parks were also a popular place for spring breakers. Crowley’s Ridge State Park in Walcott offered a number of history, activities and animal programs, as well as nature hikes, for spring break. “We had a couple of pretty busy days,” said Heather Runyan, park interpreter at Crowley’s Ridge State Park. “People want to get out when its nice and sunny.” Sandy Massey of Walcott took advantage of the nice weather earlier this week. “We like to come here. There’s a lot more to do here,” said Massey, who brought her daughter, Marlise, 7, to the park Wednesday morning. And 7-year-old Jasmine Straub of Paragould seemed to be enjoying her time at the park as well. “I love spring break,” she screamed as she played in the sand.

Foundation of Arts to collect pajamas for outreach project BY KELLIE COBB SUN STAFF WRITER
JONESBORO — The Foundation of Arts will join forces with the Department of Human Services for its next outreach project. The foundation is collecting pajamas for the DHS in conjunction with its upcoming production of “Flowers for Algernon.� Residents can donate new and gently-used pajamas, which will be given to the DHS to distribute to the children they serve. Kristi Pulliam, director of development for the foundation, said the arts organization tries to partner with other nonprofit agencies during productions “in hopes of creating more awareness for both the Foundation of Arts and whomever we’re partnering with.� During past productions, the foundation has partnered with the Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas and CityYouth Ministries. “Our community is just absolutely wonderful,� Pulliam said. “We’re a community of givers. The Foundation of Arts is a community of givers. We

‘If we can give them some pajamas, that’s something they can take ownership of.’ Sam Hiser board member Foundation of Arts make sure they understand what the need is and they come out.� Partnering with the DHS was the idea of Sam Hiser, who serves on the foundation’s board of directors and is an adoptive parent through the DHS system. “I got to see the fact that there is a such a need,� Hiser said. “The children are moved from the home so quickly. They’re lucky if they get to leave with the clothes on their backs.� “If we can give them some pajamas, that’s something they can take ownership of,� he added. “That can be a blessing
for the child and for the foster family.� He said the pajamas can provide the children a safety and security blanket and something “they can call their own.� Pajamas can be dropped off at The Forum, 115 East Monroe Ave., during regular hours. Pulliam said a bureau has been placed in the lobby for the donations. Pulliam said all sizes are needed. The foundation would like to collect pajamas for at least 100. “One hundred pair could really go a long way,� Hiser said. The foundation will be collecting the pajamas through the run of “Flowers of Algernon,� which is April 24-26. Show times for the production are 7 p.m. April 24 and 26 and 2 p.m. April 25. Tickets are $9 for adults, $8 for senior citizens 60 and older, $7 for Arkansas State University students and teen-agers and $6 for children ages 12 and younger.

Davidson finds outlet in music of ’60s, ’70s
If you’re a baby boomer, you remember the hits of ’60s and ’70s groups, such as The Beatles, The Searchers, Bread, Peter and Gordon, The Byrds and The Bee Gees. Those were the days, right? Well, Dave Davidson of Jonesboro is one of those lucky persons who gets to relive those days on weekends when his band, Remember Us, plays at area clubs and coffee houses. Dave has been in the insurance business for 36 years and is currently vice president at BancorpSouth Insurance Services Inc. He also has a little sideline going. He and band members Ron Croom, Gary Churchill and Terry Lawrence have been playing the music from our youth for the past year. Dave said he played in a band called Chapter Four back in his junior high days at Jonesboro’s Annie Camp Junior High School. Band members in that group included Thom (Tommy) Harris, Tommy Summers, Dennis Redd and Davidson. Harris, the drummer, has returned to Jonesboro and plays with a band called The Brewers. Dave, who now plays rhythm guitar, played bass with Chapter Four. Summers resides in Lake Barkley, Ky., and was rhythm guitarist. Redd was lead guitarist. “All four of us graduated together from JHS in 1970,” Dave said. He added that the junior high band played at dances and parties. Dave said he took guitar lessons from Sister Celestine when the convent was located next to St. Bernards Medical Center. “She taught guitar and piano lessons for years,” he said. “My wife, Connie, (who comes from a musical family) took piano lessons from her for a couple of years.” Davidson has a son, Michael, of Portland, Ore., a stepson, Matt Rorex of Jonesboro, a
rently in the levee surveying business. Lawrence does background vocals and plays rhythm guitar. The band was known as Remember Me in the beginning, but the name was later changed to Remember Us. They practice once a week, said Dave, and they play at such local venues as Piero’s, the Jonesboro Elks Lodge, Gracie’s and The Edge Coffee House in Jonesboro, at Red Goose Deli in Paragould and at Words and Afterwords in Hardy. “We have a good response at those places,” he said. “Everyone knows the words to most of the songs we play.” He said The Beatles’ songs are among those most requested. Remember Us performs about once a week, usually on Friday nights, to audiences comprised mainly of baby boomers. “I do this because I like it,” Dave said. “There’s not any real money to be made ... I kind of made a commitment to do this ... it was an opportunity I didn’t want to pass up.” He said the band members all enjoy the same kind of music. The band is available for parties and class reunions and will be playing Saturday at Gracie’s and on April 9 at the Red Goose Deli. For booking information, call Dave at 219-3546.
stepdaughter, Jennifer, of Dallas, and a stepgrandson, Levi Rorex, of Jonesboro. Dave said he is an “average guitar player” who just enjoys getting together and playing music. A 1975 graduate of Arkansas State University’s College of Business, he is also a pilot, whose hobbies happen include music. “One of my former Afterthoughts to co-workers got me re-interested in guitars and bands,” he said. When a CHARLENE friend was trying to get a band toCREECH | gether a year ago, Dave was up to the challenge. Ramblings The band’s original members includof a baby boomer ed Davidson, Dennis Reed and Croom. Dave, who is also a Corvette enthusiast, said that Croom, lead guitar and vocals, has been a musician all his life. “He has played with bands that have traveled overseas and has opened for well-known acts,” he said. Reed, who played rhythm and did vocals, is no longer with the band. “When Dennis left, there was a change in the line-up,” said Dave. “That’s when Gary (Churchill) joined us. He had played with us a few times.” Churchill, who works at Posey Peddler, plays bass guitar. “His family owned a nursery when he was growing up,” he said. Churchill has a vast collection of guitars and amplifiers. The newest member of Remember Us is Terry Lawrence. Lawrence worked for many years at Jonesboro Studio of Guitar, said Dave, but added that he is cur-

Mom infuriated by woman who stood up son for date
DEAR ABBY: My son, “Peter,” is in college working on a postgraduate degree. He arranged a date with a young woman while they were home over the holidays. After accepting the first date and breaking it, she agreed to a second one. As Peter was driving to pick her up, he called to double-check her address, only to be told she was still at a previous engagement. Naturally, Peter expected she’d call back when she was free — but she didn’t. There was no explanation, no call or text or any further communication. What is happening to young people today? Do texting and online social networking encourage them to avoid simple
human kindness and consideration of others? I think these new devices are giving kids Abigail an easy way Van Buren | to get out of difficult and uncomfortable situations. They don’t have to hear the hurt of rejection or the sting of their rudeness through a text or a chat page. Meanwhile, my thoughtful, sensitive son sat home thinking he wasn’t important enough for an explanation! At 26 he’s beginning to think he should just focus on finishing school and forget the dating scene. And if this is the
caliber of today’s young women, maybe he should! — Mother Of A Good Son DEAR MOTHER: Your son may be thoughtful and sensitive, but he appears to have unfortunate taste in women. You say he is working on a postgraduate degree? How old was the girl? She appears to have the emotional maturity of a young teen-ager. Nobody likes rejection, but Peter should consider the source. Rather than giving up on dating, he should look for company among women who are at his intellectual and emotional level — in college or grad school or perhaps a little older. DEAR ABBY: I am a 29year-old female who
dare smile for me, don’t you dare!” Or, “Smile! You’re too cute not to smile.” An old gentleman said, “Oh, she’s like ice — so cold, never smiles.” What can I do if this happens again? I don’t see the need to walk around the store or sit at my desk at work with a Cheshire cat grin on my face all day. Any suggestions? — Offended In Gilroy, Calif. DEAR OFFENDED: The man who asked if you had “lost” something may have been making a clumsy attempt to pick you up. That sometimes happens in markets. As to the “older people” who comment on your expression — or lack thereof — they may consider themselves so “senior” that they can “coax” you
would like to know why people feel compelled to tell random strangers to “smile.” I was in the market the other night and a man came walking by me saying, “You dropped something,” and was pointing to the floor. I looked down and said, “I don’t see anything.” He then told me, “You dropped your smile.” Abby, I was SO not amused. I turned around going back to my business saying, “Oh, OK.” The man proceeded to walk away mumbling, “Don’t look so serious. It’s only the grocery store.” I hate when people do this. It happens to me a lot and has most of my life. People — especially seniors — say, “Don’t you

into doing as they would like — like “coochy-kooing” a baby to make it laugh on cue. Making personal remarks to strangers is, of course, rude. My advice to you is to distance yourself from those individuals as quickly as possible. Speaking personally, if I was approached the way you have been, the last thing I’d be inclined to do is smile or engage them at all. I’d be offended, too.

CONTRACT BRIDGE | in the afternoon. As long as your eyes are open and you are conscious of what’s going on around you, you can’t miss it! CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22). You’ll get the distinct feeling that someone wants something more or other than what you are able or inclined to give them. Don’t say no just yet. Relax and listen. You have time to decide what you want to do about this. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22). Affectionate exchanges will make you feel grounded -- like you know where you belong. But you need more than that to set your mood to “positive.” TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (MARCH 28). You will stretch past the everyday stuff of life to explore your higher potential. With a wider perception, you will find creative methods for accomplishing your goals. You’ll partner up in April. May brings greater resources and the chance
for adventure. A club or class enriches your life through the summer. Leo and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 2, 14, 38 and 10. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22). Instead of fixing your happiness on some faraway moment in the future when you will be richer, lighter and more loved, you realize that this is the greatest moment of your life and worthy of celebration. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23). You’ve been wanting a little more attention and praise from your loved ones, and you’ll wait no longer. Deflecting this affection out of a sense of modesty would be unwise. Soak it up while you can! SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 21). A success story you hear about will inspire you to set a new goal. This probably has to do with your physical health. Perhaps one change of habit is all

Volunteering musical ability can brighten others’ lives tions and an annual Christmas party with live entertainment. We have had several opportunities for high school kids to job shadow as well.”
Can we say it officially? Spring is here! The birds are singing, and some of us feel like doing the same thing after winter’s chill. This time of year especially, people seem to enjoy the sound of music, and there are ways for volunteers to lift their voices in song while lifting the spirits of others.
JHDC parties
The Jonesboro Human Development Center on Colony Drive has an intriguing volunteer opportunity for those who like performing or just enjoy parties. JHDC is a state-funded residential facility providing care and training for people with intellectual challenges or related conditions. The center is home to more than 100 people residing at the facility, while also serving those in need from the surrounding community. The goal of the center is to help people reach their maximum potential in life. They also like to have fun. JHDC’s Ann Marie Hatcher said, “The Jonesboro Human Development Center has events around the various holidays as well as ‘dance parties.’ We enjoy having guests from the community to provide music, live band events, singa-longs, Bible stories, etc. We have also had church or school choirs come out for performances.” According to Ann Marie, anyone 18 years and older can volunteer after a background check and receipt of health card. Said Ann Marie, “We have had volunteers who were under 18 but with adult supervision, like Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, etc. We also have people who come to assist with the different types of activities, to help with getting people to and from the activity, being a mentor to the person, interacting with them during the event.” Ann Marie said she appreciates the current volunteers, saying, “We have various church groups who have come out on a regular basis. Central Baptist Special Ministries is one group who, over the years, has provided us with assistance. The Jonesboro Elks Lodge supports our program every year with dona-
People needing people It’s all helpful to the agency and its clients. “The nature of our business at the Volunteer Jonesboro Human Development CenCorner ter is ‘people,’” said Ann Marie. “We care for a population with different NANCY needs, but they are still people. Not HENDRICKS | to sound too clichéd, but ‘people need people.’ The individuals we serve here at JHDC are no different than anyone else. “They like to have fun and enjoy meeting new people, having someone be a friend to them, someone to give them a sense of self worth. For those who volunteer, it gives them an opportunity to have immediate results by helping someone have a better day. There is no feeling like it, especially for those who volunteer on a regular basis, because some individuals will remember them and be glad to see them!” Ann Marie said that the agency considers people who volunteer to be priceless, adding, “Even if it’s just an hour, the time given to make someone else’s life a little better is a life-changing opportunity for everyone. I have met so many people who never heard of our center or have a misunderstanding about what type of services we provide, but once they become involved, they find themselves coming back to volunteer again and again, creating a lifelong relationship.” For more information call Ann Marie at 932-4043 or e-mail Ann.Marie.Hatcher@arkansas.gov.

out? Elizabeth Howell, volunteer coordinator at The Learning Center (TLC) of Northeast Arkansas, notes that they welcome any and all music activities, both instrumental and vocal. Anyone interested in working with individuals with developmental disabilities can volunteer. TLC has two campuses: the Fox Meadow campus, which works with children up to 5 years of age with developmental disabilities, and the Aggie campus, which works with adults. Elizabeth noted that TLC has a regular music volunteer who works with the children in instrumental and vocal music, adding, “In the past we had a music program with our adult program. It consisted of a regular volunteer who did both instrumental and vocal music activities and helped them prepare for special programs. “A music program would benefit our clientele because of its unique approach to address the physical, emotional, social and intellectual functioning of our clients.” She added, “TLC has a great volunteer base, and we are so fortunate to have such dedicated volunteers, individuals as well as community groups and organizations. However, the needs are always increasing within our community; therefore, there continues to be a need for more volunteers at TLC. “If you want to give, you know that you will receive. By volunteering you can see the lifelong impact it has not only on TLC clients but also the volunteers. Volunteering is a great way to give back to our community, and TLC is a very rewarding place to do that.” Those interested in volunteering at TLC can contact Elizabeth Howell at 932-4245, ext. 36, or e-mail Elizabeth at tlcnea15@suddenlinkmail.com. Ah, springtime. It’s enough to make you want to sing! These are two great ways to do it and help someone else at the same time.

Celtic Spring to perform April 10 at ASU Fowler Center JONESBORO — The Arkansas State University Fowler Center Series will close out the 2009-10 season with a performance by Celtic Spring. Celtic Spring will perform at 7:30 p.m. April 10 in Riceland Hall of the Fowler Center, 201 Olympic Drive. Described as “a burst of energy, driving music, riveting dancing, youthful exuberance and unparalleled talent all in one family,” Celtic Spring is six siblings who play the fiddle and step-dance, backed by their mother on the keyboard and their father on percussion. Their music hails from Ireland, Scotland and Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. While firmly grounded in the traditions of their ancestors, Celtic Spring’s style is all its own. The six Wood family siblings have spent their lives on stage, bringing their performance to live and TV audiences in the millions. They each began learning the fiddle and Irish step dancing at the age of four. The siblings are also classically trained violinists, and this influence has brought a certain beauty and clarity to their music. To learn the traditional fiddle styles of Ireland,
Celtic Spring will perform April 10 in Riceland Hall of the Arkansas State University Fowler Center. Scotland, and Cape Breton, the siblings have studied under some of the finest fiddlers today, including Natalie MacMaster, Alasdair Fraser, Martin
Hayes and Liz Carroll. A defining element of Celtic Spring is the dual expertise in music and dance. The Wood siblings are champion Irish danc-
ers, and they have been influenced by French Canadian and Cape Breton step-dancing styles as well. Celtic Spring’s perfor-
mances have taken the band around the United States, Canada and Europe. They have performed at theaters nationwide, including symphony
appearances, and at numerous festivals, including the top Irish festivals in the country, such as the Milwaukee Irish Fest and the North Texas Irish Festival. In 2002 Celtic Spring was named Grand Champion of the World at the World Championships of the Performing Arts in Hollywood. In summer 2007, the group appeared on the top-rated TV show of the season, NBC’s “America’s Got Talent.” The band was one of the top five finalists. Celtic Spring has also been featured on “The Today Show,” ABC’s “Good Morning America,” WB’s “Steve Harvey Show,” the “Tom Joyner Show,” PBS and Japan’s Nippon Television. The band has also released two albums, “At the Source” and “Cornerstone.” Ticket prices are $30 and $20 for adults; $24 and $16 for ASU faculty and staff; $23 and $15 for senior adults and K-12 students; and $10 and $6 for ASU students. Tickets are available by calling 972-2781 or (888) 278-3267 or online at www. yourfowlercenter.com. On performance evenings, the box office in Fowler Center opens one hour prior to the event.
Trudier Harris to speak at Delta Symposium JONESBORO — Arkansas State University’s Delta Symposium XVI: Region and the Politics of Culture will present the first of its keynote speakers, Dr. Trudier Harris, on Thursday, April 8, at 11 a.m. in ASU’s Reng Student Services Center-Student Union Auditorium, 101 North Caraway Road. Harris will present “The Scary Mason-Dixon Line: African American Writers and the South,” based upon her recently published book of the same name. In “The Scary Mason-Dixon Line: African American Writers and the South,” Harris explores why black writers, whether born in Mississippi, New York or elsewhere, have consistently both loved and hated the South. For these authors, Harris explains, the South represents not so much a place or even a culture, but a rite of passage. Not one of these writers can consider himself or herself a true African American writer without confronting the idea of the South in a decisive way, Harris said. Harris, a native of Tuscaloosa, Ala., is the J. Car-

Music going on hold as Cyrus tackles drama
‘Hot Tub’ lukewarm BY DAVID GERMAIN AP MOVIE WRITER
Perhaps you’re thinking that if John Cusack, one of the most enduring stars to rise from the 1980s, signed on to “Hot Tub Time Machine,” then it can’t be as dumb as it sounds. Well, “Hot Tub Time Machine” pretty much is as dumb as it sounds, its goofy but potentially clever concept landing closer to the moronic monotony of “Dude, Where’s My Car?” than the inspired idiocy of “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.” Some of the trouble arises from Cusack’s castmates in this tale of four losers who travel back to 1986 to settle old scores and do a little messing with the timeline for personal profit. Cusack is fine, and Craig Robinson captures the same droll charm he brings as the warehouse foreman on “The Office.” But much of the story hinges on character actors Rob Corddry and Clark Duke, who overdo everything with a shrillness that makes the movie’s crass jokes and gags all the more

The stars of “Hot Tub Time Machine” are (from left) Clark Duke, Craig Robinson, John Cusack and Rob Corddry. obnoxious — and a lot less funny than they might have been. The thin plot centers on three middle-aged buddies grown apart: insurance salesman Adam (Cusack), whose girlfriend just left him; party guy Lou (Corddry), who has no friends, no job and no prospects; and hen-pecked married man Nick (Robinson), who gave up his music dream and now works in a chic canine-care shop. With Adam’s geeky nephew Jacob (Duke) along for the ride, these three take a weekend trip to the ski resort that was the scene of their best times in the ’80s. One drunken night, and presto, Mr. Hot Tub Time Machine sends them back to a pivotal night of their youth for a chance to either
let time play out the same way or create a better past. The story rests too often on easy ’80s potshots — Look, a Jheri curl! Check out those leg-warmers! Can you hear me on my brick cell phone? — and today’s parlance falling on deaf ’80s ears — E-mail? What’s that? It’s a goodhearted spoof, and it’s clear the filmmakers just wanted a hot, bubbly nostalgia bath. Sadly, “Hot Tub Time Machine” never stokes up to more than a lukewarm whirlpool. “Hot Tub Time Machine,” an MGM release, is rated R for strong crude and sexual content, nudity, drug use and pervasive language. Running time: 99 minutes. Two stars out of four.

BOSTON (AP) — MSNBC host Rachel Maddow has taken out a full-page newspaper advertisement to declare she’s not running for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts. The liberal talk show host placed the ad in Friday’s edition of The Boston Globe after newly elected Republican Sen. Scott Brown sent out a fund-raising appeal alluding to a potential challenge from Maddow. Maddow said Brown was “using the made-up threat of me running against him to try to scare donors into giving him more money.” She has a home in western Massachusetts. A Brown spokesman noted some liberals first raised the idea of a Maddow campaign. The Massachusetts Democratic Party chairman also sent out a Twitter message that appeared to inquire about the possibility of her running.

50 years and still going Man celebrates half-century working at agricultural business Story and photos by Curt Hodges JONESBORO — Harold Box of Trumann is one of those rare people who found a job he loved and stayed with it for 50 years. Recently, the folks at Taylor and Stuckey surprised Box with a party to commemorate his half-century there. Box has been employed by the company in the McCormick community southeast of Trumann since he was in high school. “I thought I was going to a fertilizer or chemical meeting,” Box said. March 1, 1960, is the official hiring date, he said. Box had returned from a visit to California with an older brother just before Christmas in 1959. He took the job with Taylor and Stuckey so he could work and get back in high school. In those days, there was a public school at McCormick. In 1961 McCormick split and merged with Harrisburg and Trumann. Box chose to attend Trumann High School and graduated in 1962. His future bride, Sharon O’Brien, also graduated that year. Box said he worked at the store from midnight to 6 a.m., then went to school in the morning. Taylor and Stuckey was mostly the store and farmland at that time, he said, so in the fall he worked at the cotton gin next door. “There was always something for me to do here,” Box said. Despite all the work, he still graduated as class salutatorian. Box was a straight-A student except for one class — he had to take a correspondence course in English, and he earned a B. If not for that grade, he would have been valedictorian, he said. Sometime after Box graduated from Trumann High School, the owner-manager of the store and gin, Jake Stuckey, approached Box and asked him where he was going to college. “I told him I was not going to college,” Box said. “I told him, ‘I know what I want to do, and taking out four years to go to college would be a waste of my time.’” Box said that Stuckey told him, “Well, Harold, I like you. You work good, but you can’t work here and not go to college.” “I told him that I liked him, liked working here and liked working for him,” Box said, but he told Stuckey that he didn’t plan to attend college, since he already had a job he enjoyed. Stuckey came back later that day. “He asked me if I had thought anymore about what we had talked about that morning,” Box said. “I told him I had thought about it but had not changed my mind.” “Well, just forget what I said about you not working here,” he recalled Stuckey saying. “I just didn’t want to stand in your way. Come on back tomorrow.”
Growth and change Those days were before the chemical revolution in agriculture — “Carmex was about the only chemical used then,” Box said. The revolution changed things quickly. Box started at a small country store in a small country community, working at a cotton gin surrounded by cotton fields and Singer company houses. He’s working today at a business that has been able to provide the area’s farmers with seed, fertilizer, herbicides, pesticides, cotton ginning and grain storage. Taylor and Stuckey has expanded several times over the years. Box said some of the expansion has been the result of accidental fires that destroyed some of the buildings, resulting in consolidation of its fertilizer operations under the same roof. A 50,000gallon water tank provides water to fire hydrants located around the property; the words “R.H. Taylor, McCormick, Ark.” are printed on the tank and serve as a reminder of the past.
David Box (left), general manager of Taylor and Stuckey Inc., and Harold Box, chief operating officer, check the price of cotton on David’s cell phone. Harold Box said he has enough difficulty
‘I’ll still be around for a while. I don’t think I could sit around the house.’ Harold Box chief operating officer, Taylor and Stuckey
Harold Box sits at this desk. Box recently celebrated 50 years with Taylor and Stuckey, an agricultural business that operates a cotton
gin, fertilizer, seed and agricultural chemical business off Arkansas 214 (Judd Hill Road) in McCormick in rural Poinsett County.
Old grain silos, an elevator and a 50,000-gallon water tank are landmarks of the McCormick community in Poinsett County. Once home to a public school, which consolidated with Trumann and Harrisburg in 1961, the community now
consists of a handful of residences, a Baptist church and the Taylor and Stuckey agricultural enterprises that include seed, fertilizer and agricultural chemical sales and a cotton gin.
There are other souvenirs from a much simpler time. The original scales are still used, and the brick storefront is still there, as is the brick bay window where the scale house is situated. An old granary and a Quonset-shaped metal storage building still stand. Box has seen it all. Friends and co-workers say he really likes doing his job and giving others the credit — and he is a selfeffacing guy. “Maybe I made a mistake by not going to college,” Box said with a faraway look in his eye. “No one ever had a title here in those days (not even Stuckey). We just came to work and did what had to be done, went home at night and came back tomorrow.”
Looking ahead It was quiet and peaceful at McCormick last week, but after a couple of weeks of sunshine, things will be booming in farming communities all over Northeast Arkansas. PLEASE SEE 50 YEARS, D2
with a desktop computer much less one carried in a pocket. He’s an old school hands-on guy who has worked at Taylor and Stuckey for 50 years.
An antique copper grain separator and a set of beam scales are on display in the scale office at Taylor and Stuckey at McCormick. No longer used, they are kept as reminders of days gone by.

AP review: Weatherizing program falling short BY GARANCE BURKE ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — After a year of crippling delays, President Barack Obama’s $5 billion program to install weathertight windows and doors has retrofitted a fraction of homes and created far fewer construction jobs than expected. State-trained workers in Indiana flubbed insulation jobs. In Alaska, Wyoming and the District of Columbia the program has yet to produce a single job or retrofit one home. And in California, a state with nearly 37 million residents, the program at last count had created 84 jobs. The program was a hallmark of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, a way to shore up the economy while encouraging people to conserve energy at home. But government rules about how to run what was deemed to be a “shovel-ready” project, including how much to pay contractors and how to protect historic homes during renovations, have thwarted chances at early success, according to an Associated Press review of the program. “It seems like every day there is a new wrench in
the works that keeps us from moving ahead,” said program manager Joanne Chappell-Theunissen. She has spent the past several months mailing in photographs of old houses in rural Michigan to meet federal historic preservation rules. “We keep playing catch-up.” The stimulus package gave a jolt to the decadesold federal Weatherization Assistance Program. Weatherization money flows from Washington to the states, where it is passed to local nonprofits that hire contractors to spread insulation and install efficient heaters in people’s homes. Energy officials said the stimulus infusion is on track to create thousands of career-pathway jobs and support an industry that lowers carbon emissions while saving consumers money. “This is the beginning of the next industrial revolution with the explosion of clean energy investments,” said assistant U.S. Energy Secretary Cathy Zoi. “These are good jobs that are here to stay.” But after a year, the stimulus program has retrofitted 30,250 homes — about 5 percent of the overall goal — and fallen

One year after the president unveiled a new well short of the 87,000 jobs that the department planned, according to the latest available figures. As the Obama administration promotes a second home energy-savings program — a $6 billion rebate plan — some experts are asking whether that will pay off for homeowners or for the planet. “A very rosy picture was painted that energy ef-

ficiency would be a great way to create jobs and save money,” said Michael Shellenberger, an energy expert who heads the Breakthrough Institute, an Oakland-based think tank that is financed by nonpartisan foundations and works on energy, climate change and healthcare issues. “The Obama administration risks overpromising again.”
Many states held off on weatherizing under the stimulus over concerns about a Depression-era law that requires contractors to pay workers wages equal to those paid for local public works projects. The U.S. Labor Department issued wage rules for every county in the country in September but after receiving about 100 complaints, changed the
wage rates again a few months later. Bureaucratic delays kept officials in Austin, Texas, from weatherizing anything while they waited to hire furnace technicians under a $7.4 million federal grant, of which they received the first installment this month. The recession itself has compounded the problems, since hiring freezes in some states meant there weren’t enough public employees to administer the program. In California, where Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger ordered many state workers to take “Furlough Fridays,” the program had created 84 jobs and weatherized 12 homes at last official count, in December. Officials say 849 homes have been completed and estimate 200 hundred jobs have been created or saved since then. Energy Department spokeswoman Jen Stutsman said the program produced 8,500 jobs nationwide from October to December 2009 but said she could not provide job creation figures for the last full year since federal guidelines for measuring the program’s impact changed in the fall.

The program is sponsored by the Cooperative Extension Service of the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture. LeadAR Director Dr. Joe Waldrum said the tour teaches the class about issues the United States is facing, how policy is created at the national level and about the role of individual citizens in national policy. Bess, the first LeadAR
member from Sharp County in the program’s 27 years, met with Arkansas’ entire congressional delegation. “The access that LeadAR provided really helped eliminate my self-imposed barriers to success plus put me on a firm working relationship with our delegates,” Bess said. The class spent two days in the homes of alumni of the Minnesota Agricultural and Rural Leadership Program, where they were taught about the state’s agriculture and rural concerns. The group moved on to Washington for 10 days to meet Arkansas’ congressional delegation and government officials and tour
monuments and memorials there. They received a special tour of the Capitol. The class met with Pew Environment Group, the American Farm Bureau, the USA Rice Federation, the Health Resources and Services Administration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, America’s Natural Gas Alliance, the Embassy of India, the Library of Congress and the U.S. Department of Energy. Bess said the class learned that Washington is accessible, and an individual can accomplish things by knowing “which doors to knock on.” Class 14 members are halfway through the program, with the next class, Class 15, beginning in
February 2011. LeadAR is seeking sponsors and applicants for Class 15. Bess participated in the program with a large donation from the First National Banking Co. of Ash Flat and through support from various local businesses.

BY ANN M. JOB FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Already bargain priced for the handling, power and iconic status it delivers, the Chevrolet Corvette ratchets up its value-for-the-dollar appeal this year with a new Grand Sport model. The first Corvette with the Grand Sport name since 1996, the new model slots below the pricey Corvette Z06, which has a starting price tag of more than $75,000. The Grand Sport, in comparison, has a starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, with destination charge, of $55,720 for a coupe and $59,530 for a convertible with at least 430 horsepower. This is $5,840 more than a base Corvette coupe and $5,000 more than a base Corvette convertible. But the Grand Sport, which borrows many body panels from the Z06 and adds a taller spoiler and wider tires than the base Corvette, looks a lot like a sinister, 505-horsepower Z06 on the outside. The Grand Sport also has an advanced suspension because it mixes in some suspension parts from the much-revered Z06. Brakes are updated from the base Corvette for solid performance, and buyers can add Grand Sport fender stripes as an option. The result is an eyecatching, showy 2-seater with a noteworthy — even memorable — ride. As for competitors, the Corvette Grand Sport, which is something of a mid-range Corvette in the lineup, costs at least $23,000 less than comparable imported sports coupes.
By the NUMBERS | Name: 2010 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Coupe Base price: $48,930 for base model; $54,770 for Grand Sport. As tested: $69,855. Type: Front-engine, rearwheel drive, 2-passenger sport coupe. Engine: 6.2-liter, overhead valve, LS3 V-8. Mileage: 16 mpg (city), 26 mpg (highway). Top speed: NA. Length: 191.3 inches. Wheelbase: 175.6 inches. Curb weight: 3,311 pounds. Built at: Bowling Green, Ky. Options: 4LT option package (includes perforated leather seat trim with embroidered headrest logo, Bose sound system and XM satellite radio, cargo net, power seats, power telescoping steering wheel) $7,705; chrome aluminum wheels $1,995; navigation system $1,750; performance dual exhaust $1,195; Grand Sport (GS) heritage package (includes fender stripe and 2-toned leather seats) $1,195; pedal covers $295.

This photo shows the 2010 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport. The 2010 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe with 345horsepower, 6-cylinder and manual transmission starts at $78,750. A 2010 Nissan GT-R with 485horsepower, twin-turbo V-6 and automatic transmission with manual shift mode starts at $81,790. Yes, the Grand Sport has the base Corvette engine — a 6.2-liter, overhead valve V-8 with 430 horsepower with standard exhaust system and 436 horses when a dual exhaust system is added as an option. But the standard 6-speed manual has different gearing than a base Corvette for improved response. And car enthusiast magazines have clocked the new Grand Sport, which generates up to 428 foot-pounds of torque at 4,600 rpm, traveling from zero to 60 miles an hour in 3.9 to 4.1 seconds.
The test drive The test Corvette Grand Sport Coupe had me convinced the first time I floored the accelerator. The V-8 engine roar — the test car came with optional dual exhaust that didn’t muzzle the sounds — added to the sensation of raw, ready power. The Corvette wasn’t just strong on straight-
aways, where it pushed my head into the head restraint as it accelerated. I could keep a lot of speed in corners. as the front and rear double wishbone suspension with monotube shock absorbers tightly controlled the chassis. Even downhill, offcamber sweeping curves were enjoyable. The car and its performance tires clung like glue to the road and made quick work of twisty roads. The Corvette Grand Sport felt well-balanced, thanks to an exemplary weight distribution of nearly 50-50 front and rear and to a very low center of gravity. One issue, though: I sat so low to the pavement, I felt like I could reach out and touch it. My legs were flung out in front of me on the carpet, not downward as in a chair or a sport utility vehicle. I raised the seat height as much as I could, and with just 2 inches of clearance between my head and the ceiling, I couldn’t see much of the car’s hood. Worse, I couldn’t see past the bumper — and sometimes the undercarriage — of trucks and sport utility vehicles ahead of me. Another issue that cropped up: A 6-foot-tall family member who has
had back problems wound up with a painful twinge after a 30-mile ride in the Corvette. And it took effort to drop into the Corvette’s low seats and push upward to climb out. Seats are flatter and less supportive than I prefer in a sporty car. Given the $55,000 price, I expected something with more lateral support, in particular. Riders seem to feel every bump, manhole cover and expansion crack on the roads. Road noise also comes through, but I didn’t notice any wind noise in this sleek car. Don’t assume that with the sizable 6.2-liter, LS3 V-8 and the long hood, the Corvette Grand Sport Coupe is a heavy car. Actually, at 3,311 pounds, it weighs a quarter-ton less than Nissan’s GT-R. But the Vette is a wide car that stretches more than 6 feet from one side to the other. And the visual barriers — narrow rear window, obstructive metal pillars at the corners and tall rear end — make it challenging to back up and park. The Corvette has some old-school parts, such as the pushrod V-8, while the GT-R has newer technology, such as the 6-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission.

China last to lift ban on U.S. pork BY MICHAEL J. CRUMB ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
Marcio Jose Sanchez | AP

Winter leaves bees in bad shape
MERCED, Calif. (AP) — The mysterious 4-yearold crisis of disappearing honeybees is deepening. A quick federal survey indicates a heavy bee die-off this winter, while a new study shows honeybees’ pollen and hives laden with pesticides. Two federal agencies along with regulators in California and Canada are scrambling to figure out what is behind this relatively recent threat, ordering new research on pesticides used in fields and orchards. Federal courts are even weighing in this month, ruling that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency overlooked a requirement when allowing a pesticide
on the market. And on Thursday, chemists at a scientific conference in San Francisco will tackle the issue of chemicals and dwindling bees in response to the new study. Scientists are concerned because of the vital role bees play in our food supply. About one-third of the human diet is from plants that require pollination from honeybees, which means everything from apples to zucchini. Bees have been declining over decades from various causes. But in 2006 a new concern, “colony collapse disorder,” was blamed for large, inexplicable die-offs. The disorder, which causes adult
bees to abandon their hives and fly off to die, is likely a combination of many causes, including parasites, viruses, bacteria, poor nutrition and pesticides, experts say. “It’s just gotten so much worse in the past four years,” said Jeff Pettis, research leader of the Department of Agriculture’s Bee Research Laboratory in Beltsville, Md. “We’re just not keeping bees alive that long.” This year bees seem to be in bigger trouble than normal after a bad winter, according to an informal survey of commercial bee brokers cited in an internal USDA document. Onethird of those surveyed had trouble finding enough
hives to pollinate California’s blossoming nut trees, which grow the bulk of the world’s almonds. A more formal survey will be done in April. “There were a lot of beekeepers scrambling to fill their orders and that implies that mortality was high,” said Penn State University bee researcher Dennis vanEngelsdorp, who worked on the USDA snapshot survey. Beekeeper Zac Browning shipped his hives from Idaho to California to pollinate the blossoming almond groves. He got a shock when he checked on them, finding hundreds of the hives empty, abandoned by the worker bees.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Nearly a year after nations banned U.S. pork over fears about swine flu, China has become the last one to lift its embargo and is expected to accept shipments by early next month. It’s a move welcomed by an industry that has suffered several years of losses, but some experts caution farmers shouldn’t expect to see a surge in exports. China still produces most of the pork it consumes and won’t accept pork containing ractopamin, an additive used in the United States that causes hogs to turn feed to muscle instead of fat. Still, lifting of the ban is good news for U.S. pork farmers, who were hit with a triple whammy of high feed costs, a drop in demand at home with the recession and import bans by more than two dozen countries worried about transmission of swine flu, also known as H1N1. “Our producers have been losing money since 2007 ... and the fact that China is open is very important,” said Nick Giordano, vice president and counsel for international affairs for the Washington, D.C.-based National Pork Producers Council. China agreed to lift the ban last week during a visit by U.S. trade representatives, Giordano said. Some minor details were being worked out this week, and Giordano said he expected pork shipments to China to resume within two weeks. Russia, another major market for U.S. pork, lifted its ban tied to swine flu last fall but continued to refuse U.S. pork because of unrelated — and farmers believe unmerited — concerns about food safety, Giordano said. Russia’s concerns are being met with a special testing program and shipments could resume soon, he said. Pork to be sent to Russia is tested at processing plants for the antibiotic tetracycline and pathogens. Before the bans, about 20 percent of U.S. pork was exported, and China and Russia were among the biggest buyers. In 2008, China bought nearly $700 million in U.S. pork, ranking third behind Japan and Mexico. Russia was fifth with $476 million.

sellers worried about increasing inventory levels. The ARA expects to see sales increase as we approach the aforementioned tax credit deadline. Should that happen, then the number of homes for sale should decrease and average list prices may be on the rise before long. Also, it’s important to keep in mind that the spring and summer months are historically the most active for sales – a fact that could pull inventory levels down further. Buyers should keep in mind that Congress and the National Association of Realtors are both acting as if the home buyer tax credits won’t be extended – this may well be the last time we’ll see those incentives in place. Buyers who wait too long to buy may miss out on the credits and regret not buying homes at this point in time. Also, those low interest rates aren’t expected to stick around for long, either. Mortgage rates have been kept low since about November 2008 when the Federal Reserve started buying up mortgage-backed securities. It appears that buy back program will be phased out after March and interest rates are expected to rise. When buyers hear that now is a good time to purchase a home, that’s not just fluff – there are a lot of advantages for purchasers that are expected to vanish before long. Should you want to track inventory levels, the ARA posts those weekly on its news site at ArkansasRealtors.com/news. ◆◆◆ House to House is distributed weekly by the Arkansas Realtors® Association.

Over the past few years, a lot of real estate insiders have been worried about high inventory levels. An excess of inventory – the number of homes for sale – in any market is generally regarded as bad. The time tested rules of economics come into play here – if the supply of widgets, houses or anything else outstrips demand, then prices will drop accordingly. We’ve certainly seen that dynamic play out in Arkansas over the past few months. Here at the Arkansas Realtors Association (ARA), we track inventory levels and list prices in four markets – central Arkansas, the Fort Smith/Van Buren area, the Jonesboro area and northwest Arkansas. We started the year with 11,044 homes in inventory in those markets and that number increased to 12,630 houses by March 22. Predictably, the aggregate, average list price in those four markets dropped from $220,697 at the first of the year to $215,691 on March 22. That may not be great news for sellers, but buyers should love to see those rising inventory levels. Why? Because they’ve got more homes to choose from and prices are very attractive now. Furthermore, buyers can take out 30-year mortgages at a fixed interest rate of below 5 percent – a very low rate. First-time buyers can also take advantage of a tax credit of up to $8,000 and repeat buyers can receive a credit of up to $6,500, provided they enter into purchase agreements prior to May 1 and close on their homes prior to July 1. There is some good news for
