Regional Fire Safety Seminar Held In Van Buren County...
"It takes a lot to be a Fire Chief," Charles Gangluff, Manager of RC&D’s
Rural Fire Protection Program, addressed about 80 individuals representing
28 volunteer fire departments from Van Buren, Stone, Sebastian, Searcy,
Faulkner, Conway, Cleburne, Boone and Baxter Counties, who participated in
a one-day training seminar held Saturday, March 10, 2007, at the Dan
Davison Emergency Center, home of the Holley Mountain Airpark Fire
Department, near Clinton, Arkansas. On an interesting subject these are my favorite statistics to look at!!!
Dower Rights... There is much chatter about climate change, carbon dioxide emissions, and energy conservation in the news today and I, personally, herewith debunk this whole matter once and for all. Fact is, it doesn't matter whether you believe the science about global warming or not... it is simply self-evident that the ramifications of the creature-comfort-luxurious life style that most of us have aimed for and some of us have achieved is collectively killing us. All one needs do is take a realistic look around the globe. HIV, flu pandemics, food shortages, contaminated water and food supplies, prescription drug poisons, medical mishaps (the third leading cause of death in the USA), needless wars, global warming, peak oil, an allegedly 'failing' public education system -- even peanut butter can no longer be trusted. And the looming question: What can we do...??? Some say no action is necessary. I personally imagine that these are the same folks who let momma clean up after them right up until the day she dies and then grieve with great anguish over the loss of her companionship... completely unawares that their habitual 'taking from her' resulted in her early demise... Not a pretty picture, but no matter what language you read, the handwriting is on the wall that with our own dear Mother Earth we are doing exactly this... and in our own best interests we must choose to change the tide of our (immature) behavior now. In that interest, I humbly bring the following two items to your attention:
<> On Saturday, April 14th, a diverse variety of individuals, groups and organizations are joining forces by networking real-time events into what could prove to be the largest 'virtual rally' ever held. The focus of Step It Up 2007 is energy/climate awareness and sending an emphatic public referendum to law-makers everywhere that 'we the people' want climate-change issues addressed now. Here in Arkansas, several conjoined events are planned including a Town Meeting in Hardy. To learn more, click here. <> Right now, at this very moment, State Legislators in Arkansas are submitting the last draft bills that will be considered during this legislative session. Among the various new laws (there are many, take a look here), one in which we have particular interest is making the rounds, seeking a sponsor: THE ARKANSAS SUSTAINABLE ENERGY INDEPENDENCE ACT OF 2007 (PDF). This proposed legislation addresses Net Metering in Arkansas which, as you may be aware, is a viable means of diversifying our state-wide sources of electricity production, reducing our dependence on fossil fuel, reducing our generation of CO2 emissions and at the same time reducing the monthly cost of electricity for consumers. This is not 'pie in the sky' stuff, brothers & sisters... but a legitimate system for making this work 'better' for us all... Thus I entreat you... contact your Arkansas Senator or Representative and stump for the introduction and adoption of this proposed bill, remembering that 'we are all in this together' and that 'ignorance is not an option'... (((hugs))) until the next time I get a bee in my bonnet and poke my nose out of 'retirement' <grin>. ~Christine (Weiss) Beems, Editor Emeritus, Gozarks.com

interest to you I highly recommend the following books. Order here through

Shalom would like a ride of my own, I would be this>>> happy if I could
get a great deal on a decent car,
I have looked somewhat around here in VBC, online and everything... I was

I'm
back... but only briefly <smile>. I turn 58 tomorrow and shall dive ever
deeper into my 'retirement' starting then <grin>. At the moment, however,
as editor emeritus of this stunning publication (did you know, Gozarks
went over 1000 visitors a day for the very first time last month!) I am
asserting my 'dower rights' and commandeering the front page to bring your
lively attention to a couple of things, to wit:
