Help Make Hazen Beautiful Does your Hazen Hornet Pot look like this? Check out the Hazen Police Department’s flowers! Just Beautiful!! All your plants need (unless they are dead), is water twice a week and Miracle Grow once every 2 or 3 weeks! Please help keep Hazen beautiful!

By Kim Wilson Helping Our Kids is a non-profit organization who works with the community in helping support all of the children in the Hazen Public School. We are supported through community involvement, community donations, and fundraisers.

We are planning a BackTo-School Fair on August 6th at the Hazen Community Center from 10:00am until 12:00pm. We encourage businesses, clubs, churches, and individuals to get involved by coming and giving out school supplies to the children who attend. This event is to promote goodwill and the only requirement is that the children attend Hazen School and be in the age group of Pre-

K through 8th grade.

Each organization will be responsible for setting up their own booth at the event and providing their own school supplies to give away. Tables and chairs are provided at the Community Center. We ask that you provide one fun carnival type game and at least one specific supply for each child. We anticipate 150 children. The types of supplies you might give out are glue sticks, pencils, pens, hand sanitizers, box of tissue, crayons, washable markers, colored pencils, dry erase markers, copy paper, pencil bags, antibacterial wipes, scissors, art boxes, loose leaf paper, binders, back packs, or hygiene items. Colorful tablecloths and balloons and decorations will add a

festive atmosphere.

Instead of school supplies, your organization might choose to provide a fun hands-on educational activity or art project for each child attending. Hazen School teachers and Hazen School Clubs are encourages to come and promote their agendas.

We plan to give drawstring backpacks to the children and provide a hot dog lunch and outside activities for the children and their families. We need your help through involvement or donations. Please contact Kim Wilson at 870319-5339 if you are interesting in setting up a booth. Donations to help support activities can be made to Helping Our Kids, P.O. Box 745, Hazen, AR. 72064.

Certify Crops by July 15 to Insure Eligibility Carol Sanders, writer/editor UAPB School of Agriculture, Fisheries and Human Sciences PINE BLUFF, Ark. The deadline to certify spring-seeded crops is July 15.

Certification is required to meet eligibility requirements for government farm programs, said Dr. Henry English, head of the Small Farm Program at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff.

Both traditional row crops such as corn, cotton, grain sorghum, soybeans

and rice as well as commercial vegetables should be certified, he said. This includes okra, cucumbers, watermelons, squash, southern peas and sweet potatoes. Producers must report each of their crops, their intended use, acreages and planting dates.

Failure to certify makes participation in disaster programs nearly impossible as many Farm Service Agency (FSA) programs require that all cropland on a farm be certified to earn FSA benefits. In

some cases, vegetable producers have gone to their local FSA offices to sign up for a disaster program only to learn that no record exists of their crop being planted because of lack of certification, he said.

All crops planted by July 15 must be certified by that date. If the crop has not been planted by the acreage reporting date, the acreage must be reported no later than 15 calendar days after planting was completed. If the producer acquires addi-

Summer means time for Sports Physicals LONOKE, Arkansas, (June 28, 2016) – When it’s time to head back-toschool or camp and register for sports team participation, most students are required to have a pre-participation physical examination.

A sports pre-participation physical exam includes: Health history review; Physical exam to make sure your child can safely play typical sports-related activities; Sports safety and education tips when needed; and Completion of forms needed for sports or school participation.

WHAT TO BRING: Any paperwork or forms required for sports participation and activities; If your child wears glass-

es or contacts, bring those to the exam; and A list of any medications you child takes.

A child under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult chaperone or guardian and have parental/guardian permission. Most Sherwood Urgent Care centers are open late and on weekends, a big help for busy families. No appointments are needed and welcome are always welcome.

You can take care of the carpool and cleaning uniforms. Let Sherwood Urgent Care help ensure your child is physically ready to take on the opponent.

tional acreage after the reporting date, that acreage must be reported within 30 calendar days after purchase or acquisition.

If a perennial forage crop is reported with the intended use of cover only, green manure, left standing or seed, then the acreage must also be reported by July 15, he said.

Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) policy holders should note that the reporting date for NAP covered crops is the earlier of the applicable dates or 15 calendar days before grazing or harvesting begins.

Arkansas producers who could not plant because of excessive rains, high winds or flooding or who planted crops that failed should file a notice of loss within 15 calendar days or when the loss becomes apparent, said Dr. English.

“ABEL'S FIELD”

Left motherless by tragedy and fatherless by abandonment, high school senior Seth McArdle (Samuel Davis) is under enormous pressure to support his young twin sisters. At home, he has no one to turn to. At work, he struggles to earn enough money to make ends meet.

And at school, he endures the daily bullying from members of the football team. When Seth fights back, he's singled out by the football coach and assigned to an after-school work detail. Laboring alongside reserved groundskeeper Abel (Kevin Sorbo) to get the football field ready for the big game, Seth is surprised to discover that Abel understands his struggles ... and his dreams.

Abel encourages Seth to ask out popular Katie and even steps in to babysit so Seth can go out on the date. Yet as dark circumstances lure Seth toward a desperate decision, a reluctant Abel could be the one person who points him back toward the light.

1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; 2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. 5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. 6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the

head of all principality and power: 11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not

seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. 20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, 21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not; 22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? 23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh. 1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and cov-

etousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. 8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye

thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. 18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. 21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. 22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: 23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. 25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

Committee of 100 Meeting held June 25th at Heber Springs

By Chris Weems Approximately 65 members of the Committee on the One Hundred met at the Red Apple In, Eden Isle, Heber Springs, Saturday June 25 for the Summer Luncheon.

Barbara Satterfield, Mountain View, president of the Committee, presided.

Kay Hinkle, Mountain View, chairman for the days’ events, gave the invocation.

Barbara introduced Robin Shea, Dumas, and Janice Sutton, Mountain View, who presented the Bessie Moore Awards to

Pam Setser, Mtn. View and Mary Vandiver, Little Rock. Both are second generation members of the Committee and have worked on many committees for the group.

This is the tenth year for the Awards to be given to honor the co-founders of the Committee of One Hundred.

The other founder is Mrs. Betty Bumpers, former First Lady of Arkansas. They selected women from each county around the state who help support the Ozark Folk Center.

Entertainment was a

Fashion Show by the Golden Girls Clothing Company of Heber Springs. The six models showed styles of clothes for the present day busy woman with accessories available. The styles had possibilities of mixing with other articles shown.

Darren Dortin of Ozark Highlands radio presented the program. He told about the scheduled regular broadcasts. Besides the live broadcasts they use recorded music from concerts and programs at the Center and other recordings that are avail-

able that pertain to the work of the Folk Center.

The president gave a special thanks to Aromatique, Golden Girls Clothing Company, and Ozark Highlands

Radio for their help for the events of the day.

Rita Farris, Biscoe, and Chris Weems, Hazen, represented Prairie County on the Committee.

The next meeting will be the Fall Committee Board meeting at the Ozark Folk Center, October 21-23, 2016. The president urges all members to attend.

"Delta:Rediscovered" at Prairie County Historical Museum "Delta: Rediscovered," the touring exhibit of rare photographs of early Arkansas life along the White River, will be on display from July 1st through August 5th, 2016, at DeValls Bluff's Prairie County Historical Museum. A presentation by exhibit curator/author Denise White Parkinson is scheduled for Friday, August 5 at 1:00 pm. She will read the story "Freshwater Pearls" from her second book, a work in progress titled The River Sisters. Parkinson's new work, a historical fiction novel for young adults, is inspired by images from the Bowers archive.

Master photographer Dayton Bowers operated the earliest known photography studio and

gallery in Arkansas, active in DeWitt from 1880-1924. His photographs are recognizable for their clarity and wide range of subject matter.

Bowers traveled the bayou country, photographing daily life and the rise of prosperity in Arkansas County prior to the Crash of 1929. He also photographed hundreds of portraits in his studio during this time.

Several Bowers photos are featured in the book, Daughter of the White River (History Press, 2013) written by Denise White Parkinson based on six years of research and interviews with LC Brown, a beloved historian of the White River.

This touring exhibit, a fraction of the archive donated to the Butler

Center for Arkansas Studies by the late LC Brown in memoriam to his wife, Anna Grace Bowers Brown, is made possible by grants from the Department of Arkansas Heritage and the Morris Foundation.

Visit the Facebook page "The Rediscovered Archives of Dayton Bowers" for updates on newly discovered Bowers photos from family albums across the region.

Prairie County Historical Museum, 715 Ash Street in DeValls Bluff, Arkansas (in the former High School Building), is open Tuesday - Friday, 10 am 4 pm. For more info, contact Museum Curator Debbie Cook: 870-2565171 or email: debbiecook01@yahoo.com.

Recipients of the Bessie Moore Awards for the year are (L. holding certificate) Pam Setser, and Mary Vandiver. The awards, the tenth ones made, are in recognition of outstanding volunteer work for the Ozark Folk Center. In the back row, from left, Robin Shea, Dumas, and Janice Sutton, Mountain View, are past presidents of the Committee, and on the Selection committee for the Awards to honor one of the co-founders of the Committee of 100. The man seated in front is Robert Stroud, Desha. He is lovingly referred to as an honorary member because his wife was a charter member of the Committee and he often drove for a carloads of women to the meetings in the early years.
