Rae McKimm spoke to a group of local herb enthu-siasts about the benefits of joining the Herb Society of America last Thursday during a monthly meeting of the Montgomery County Herb Study Group.
McKimm, Vice Presi-dent of the Herb Society of America, told the group of 10 men and women who were gathered for their monthly meeting that herbs are her passion. She
stated that she acquired an agriculture business degree from Arkansas Tech and was the proprietor of a greenhouse and nursery business for 10 years.
Her passion for herbs led her to the national or-ganization which promotes the study and promotion of herbs and their uses.
The Herb Society of America started 81 years ago when a group of six women gathered in Boston to share their love and ad-miration for herbs.

Lloyd Smith discussed a list of maintenance projects at the August meeting of the Montgomery County Nursing Home Board meeting.
Smith shared that they have poured concrete in the culverts along the south drive to help with drainage.
They also had to make some repairs to the fire suppression system, which had developed some pinhole leaks. He explained that the system is a dry pipe system, which is filled with pressurized air. He told the board that the system is tested periodically and once the pipes are cleared of water condensa-tion settles in the pipes causing rust issues.
Smith warned that due to the pressure in the pipes, the pinhole leaks posed a safety risk if the

LANGLEY - A reunion rally and demonstration was held at Albert Pike Saturday, bringing together a crowd of 200 gathered to show support for the reopen-ing and maintaining of the camp-ground, which has been closed since the June 2010 flood that claimed twenty lives.
Nearly five years later, sur-vivors who deem Albert Pike a place filled with memories say it’s time to reopen.
Launa Simmons, a Langley crafts maker best known for her work as a potter, spoke at the rally, noting how her family
roots have long tied into the campground.
“I was raised just a few miles from here and as my grandfather used to say, ‘I have stubbed my toe on just about every rock here at Albert Pike,’” she reminisced. “My mother used to bring us on picnics and swims up here. The area would always be alive with people! Families and friends who camped here made it a wonderful place to be during the season.”
No matter the memories, ac-cording to Deputy Public Affairs Team Leader Terrence Peck, the

The Memorial Brick Walkway continues to grow with engraved bricks com-memorating the life of a loved one or dear friend. This has been such a popular program that we sponsor. The bricks are a permanent and very vis-ible memorial. Some of the bricks in the entry path even commemorate high school classes, events and places in the county.
You just never know what you might find on the internet! Recently we were sent quite a few im-ages that were evidently taken of the Luke & Belle Warneke homeplace on Owley Rd. in the 1940s by a sports photographer. Their son, Lon, was a very well-known pitcher for the Cubs and Cardinals during the 30s and 40s. How fortunate we are to have such excellent pho-tos representing a typical Montgomery County farm place of that era. Thanks to author Don Duren for shar-ing these with the museum.
Have you marked Sept. 25th, Thursday, on your calendar to come by the museum for the open house and book signing we are hosting to introduce Don Duren, author of the recently published Lon Warneke, The Arkansas Hummingbird? You will enjoy chatting with him and getting to know this baseball enthusiast who has Montgomery County connections and has writ-ten such an interesting
book about Lon Warneke’s life. Lon’s daughter Lonnie Luebben will also be here for the event. Hope to see you then!
We are so grateful to the museum friends who have already responded to our donation drive cur-rently under way to raise funds for the construction of a pole barn on the back corner of the museum property. This structure is necessary to better protect some of the many pieces of farm equipment the museum has been given as well as those we expect to receive. The purpose of the museum is to preserve the heritage of Montgom-ery County and, in doing so, we vow to protect and preserve as best we can the items which are placed in our care. In order to accomplish this, we must sometimes request the as-sistance of our friends and the many folks who will always love this precious county of ours. With the combined effort of many, so much can be accom-plished!
Our friend, Jeff Smith, has a new book out, Van-ished on the Vista. This latest novel is set locally, involving a mystery on the LOViT (Lake Ouachita Vis-ta Trail). Jeff is a reporter for The Sentinel-Record in Hot Springs and we cer-tainly appreciate that he is always so thoughtful in covering any HHMMC events and activities.

Ouachita artists are honored to have our paint-ings on exhibit at Gar-van Woodland Gardens! Beginning September 1, 2014 our work will hang in the prestigious "Magnolia Room" through the month where visitors from all over will have a chance to enjoy our artists talents. So if you are visiting Gar-van Woodland Gardens in Hot Springs, Arkansas, do take a moment and have a look at the beautiful paintings on display. They are priced for sale if you would like a nice painting for your home or office.
On another interest-ing topic, Barbara Holt has started another Basic Drawing class for young people ages 12 and up on Wednesdays from 3:30- 4:30 at our gallery located at 135 S West Street, Mt. Ida, Ar. We strive to have something ongoing for the community to get in-volved with. Of course, we are open until 6 p.m. on Fridays for those of you that want to stop in and create, using talents you may never have known you had.
In the beginning you simply start painting, drawing, etc. You think you can do this, then it gets hard. You begin to see how hard it really is and how much there is to learn. Many people quit at this stage. This is where the help of a teacher be-gins. A teacher can explain that this happens all the time, even to talented people. Give yourself a chance. Even untalented people enjoy enormous pleasure and contentment from their art-making ef-forts. You might love it enough to keep going. You keep working at it, practic-ing until you realize you can do it. Ask for help from those more experienced and above all be patient.
The Montgomer y County Fair was a success again this year. Two of our own artists won Best of Show ribbons. Painter, Mary Alice Black won her ribbon with her acrylic
painting " Homeless Man". Photographer, Glenna Ly-brand won her ribbon for her "Montage of Arkansas Wildflowers" Several oth-er artists exhibited their work, winning various ribbons. We congratulate Mary Alice and Glenna along with all of our artists that entered in the Fair. It takes a brave person to put their work out there for the public to experi-ence their creations they have poured their heart and souls into creating. Go by the gallery in Mt. Ida and enjoy the efforts of these two ladies. They have them on display and you will be delighted with our new exhibit since our recent change over.
A watercolor workshop with Marlene Germillion as the teacher will be this Friday, 9-4 p.m. in the stu-dio. Drop in to see how art-ists work with watercolor. The regular monthly meet-ing is Wednesday, Septem-ber 3 at 1 p.m. Then the program meeting is Mon-day, September 15 at 3:30 p.m. William Rainey, well known photographer from Mena, Arkansas, will be our special guest. He plans to present a slide show of his work. He travels far and wide to get some of the best photos you will ever see. Check him out on Facebook then come meet the artist in person at Ouachita Artists Gallery and Studio.
Our local photogra-phers now showing in our gallery are, Glenna Lybrand, Mary Ann Shaw, David Kimball and Kelly Binion.
On a personal note, my family would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers dur-ing the loss of our loved one, Alicia Graves, the wife of Mathew Graves and the mother of six month old baby girl, Danica Graves.

Kids News Every year on the irst Monday in September, the United States and Canada observe Labor Day. The term “labor” means work performed by men or women, especially when it is dificult. Labor Day honors all workers, both past and present, who have worked hard to make the Nation a better place. The origin of the holiday is not clear, but most attribute it to Matthew Maguire and Peter McGuire. Both men were members of a union. (A union is an organization that represents the rights and interests of a certain type of worker, such as the Steel Workers Union.) Both men, separately, decided to orga-nize parades and celebrations in honor of their fellow workers. The Knights of Labor, a labor union that was formed in 1869, decided to hold a parade in New York City on September 5, 1882, to honor its members and all other laborers. The parade was such a success that another was held in 1884. Since then, it has become an annual event. Other parades began to take place in other cities. In June of 1894, President Grover Cleveland made Labor Day a national holiday. All schools are closed, as well as all Federal and state ofices, banks and many private businesses. The holiday is a day of rest, family gathering time, and it is often considered to be the last activity of summer. Many other Nations around the world celebrate similar holidays on different dates.

park can’t be reopened un-til the lawsuits still pending from the flood are settled.
Simmons, along with many others, have argued against this.
“Parks all across this nation have tragedies that are nobody’s fault,” Sim-mons said. “Rocky Moun-tain National Park recently had two separate light-ning strikes that resulted in death. They have not closed their park. This is just one example and I as-sure you there are many other parks.”
Since the park has been closed, Loops C and D have also become overgrown with grass, which Peck said is because it is not being used for camping.
S immons implored, “How can we move forward from [the terrible night of the flood] with this park closed to camping and be-ing allowed to turn into a wasteland?”
Concluding, she offered a final plea to officials, saying, “If the US Forest Service is not going to open Albert Pike for over-night camping and main-tain the area as it should be maintained, then I would suggest to the US Forest Service to approach the Arkansas Department of
Parks and Tourism about a possible acquisition by their agency of Albert Pike Recreation Area. They could return Albert Pike to its former glory and go even farther. Look at the Crater of Diamonds or Cos-satot River State Park or all the others across this state. If the US Forest Ser-vice doesn’t want it, then let someone else have it.”
Morgan Johnson, who has been visiting the camp-ground on and off since 1975, said he holds the campground so dear he wants his ashes placed in the Little Missouri River there when he dies.
“This is too good of a thing,” he said. “Long live Albert Pike.”

Thank you to the citizens of Mt Ida for ten great years as Mayor of Mt Ida. I have iled for another term. I do not have an opponent this year as I haven't had in the last two elections. We must be doing something right. The “We” I refer to is the great term I have doing all this work and also making progress. We have had many projects completed during my term in ofice, some the citi-zens see (the new bridge on West Elm) and many, many more that you don't see. My people and I are dedicated to the service of you citizens. Sometimes there are things that we cannot do when asked. Sometimes the reason is legal-sometimes moral but we always listen and try to make good decisions from that information. We look forward to the next four years. Many projects are ongoing and many more will be added. All these projects we handle with good work ethics and great determination. I am always accessible to you, Come by the ofice or call me at 870-867•3541 Thank you all again for your loyalty and trust you nave placed in me and "The City Crew”.We look forward to another productive and busy four years.

Taking the challengeIt was my pleasure to
be on hand Friday as the Mount Ida Elementary School teachers and staff took the ALS ice bucket challenge.
The challenge was origi-nally issued to Kinder-garten teacher Chandra Ellison. Instead of simply taking the challenge her-self, she asked the rest of the staff to take the chal-lenge with her. Doing so gave the students at the
school to get involved in helping others.
One of the things I like about our teachers in all of our Montgomery County
schools is that they do more than just teach the “three R’s”. They strive to help our young people become more than just an average Joe or Jane. They challenge them to reach beyond the boundaries of Montgomery County and make a difference in the world. By participating in the challenge, they have al-lowed them to help defeat a disease that kills about 4,700 people annually.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a neu-rodegenerative disorder that leads to rapidly in-creasing weakness due to muscle wasting. It leads to a difficulty speaking, swal-lowing and breathing. The average survival time is 39 months, with less than five percent surviving as long as ten years.
On average, 5,600 Amer-icans are diagnosed with the disease and around 30,000 currently live with the disorder.
Unfortunately, the ice bucket challenge has be-
come a prime example of the culture of excess and self promotion that haunts our country.
When the challenge became a viral phenom-enon we started to see the challenges become more elaborate until we are now hearing reports of injuries and deaths resulting from something meant to be harmless.
Why is it that we as a society feel a need to outdo everyone else? Why are we driven to do something that no else has done?
The more we focus on the challenge, the less we
promote the real reason all this started.
Now we here people declining the challenge because of reports of em-bryonic stem cell research being used by those seek-ing a cure for ALS. Once again we see people losing sight of what this challenge is about, raising awareness of ALS. I’m not saying that the uses of embryonic stem cells aren’t a serious issue. I’m saying that there are people out there that make generalities regard-ing issues without examin-ing all the facts.
Chandra Ellison had the right idea. She just found someone to donate the money to that didn’t use embryonic stem cells
in their research. Imagine that, someone who actu-ally cares enough to go the extra mile to make sure she didn’t compromise her beliefs while helping find a cure for a horrible disorder.
I am proud to say that our schools are able to rise above all the petty vanity and squabbling that we tend to let get in the way of helping others. Our chil-dren are in good hands and I’m sure a few of them will take the challenge before this is over with. I hear they raised over $300.
By the way, the Mount Ida Middle School and High School staffs have been challenged now. Let’s see what they can do.

Taking the challenge
correction
In the August 28, 2014 issue of the Montgomery County News Ms. Montgomery County Fair Rodeo Queen Haley Foley was misidentiied as Haley Forest. We apologize for the error.
Diamond Bank held a school supply drive referred to as "Stuff the School Bus" on August 8th. Over $1,300 worth of schools supplies were divided among three local schools: Centerpoint, Caddo Hills, and Kirby. Also, a donation of $300 was given to each school to use as needed. Ki Hartsield, Market President, hopes to "hold this event every year and continue to help area schools and children in need". Caddo Hills Elementary Principal Josh Bright received the donation for Caddo Hills.

The general wisdom behind how most mid-term elections go is that the party of the sitting President will suffer ma-jor congressional losses. Given President Obama’s current approval ratings, there is likely some truth to this. But what are the primary factors that will work against congressional Democrats in November and what are the bottom-line truths that may remain overshadowed in what is shaping up to be one of the most expensive mid-term election cycles in Ameri-can history? The stakes are high for congressional Democrats this November and every effort must be put forth to minimizes losses – especially ones that are relevant to main-taining a partisan balance in Congress via control of the U.S. Senate.
For the sake of brevity, I’ve identified three of the major battles Democrats must face this cycle. We’ll
start with the economy.Believe it or not, the
economy and the deficit are both better in 2014 than they were in 2010. Yet, public awareness of this has yet to catch up with the electorate. In early August, the Washington Post’s Wonkblog noted “For six straight months, the U.S. economy has add-ed more than 200,000 jobs” -- which is something our country hasn’t seen since the mid 1990’s. But this is not an indication of being closer to perfect, either. The unemployment rate, low as it has fallen over the last few years, still hovers above six percent and there is still a con-cerning number of struc-turally unemployed and underemployed workers in our country. There’s also no way to account for the number of individuals who have stopped look-ing for work (a number which is not factored into the unemployment rate) but organizations such as the Economic Policy Insti-tute are looking to achieve more accurate numbers by instituting “missing worker estimates.”
Data measuring defi-ciencies aside, the econ-omy is still showing real
strength for the first time since the recession, but we’re most likely not going to hear about this during this election cycle because 1) it would require too much explanation from the Democrats and 2) the GOP would be quick to poke holes in every success due to perceived “unmeasur-ables” that could serve to undermine any progress that has been made.
The second major battle is found in healthcare re-form. For decades, health-care reform has been an incredibly divisive topic. From the efforts of Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clin-ton, Democrats have long since been putting forth efforts to change the way care is extended to our most at-risk citizens, but it wasn’t until the Presidency of Barack Obama that more substantial and compre-hensive reforms were ap-proved by Congress. From the very start, every move made by Democrats and moderate Republicans to extend coverage to our most under-served citi-zens has been vilified by special interests groups (such as Club for Growth and Americans for Pros-perity) and their efforts have been bolstered under
recent changes made to campaign finance laws in our country.
Since the implementa-tion of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), many states have experienced signifi-cant results from the new law that has continued to defy initial expectations – especially those of failure. Arkansas is one of those states.
During the last legis-lative session, Arkansas Democrats and Republi-cans came together and found a solution for imple-menting the ACA in our state through the creation of the Private Option. The compromise to use fed-eral dollars to purchase private insurance for our most at-risk individuals has now cut our uninsured rate almost in half and our method is now being used as a model for other states to follow. To me, this success is directly related to Senator Pryor’s most recent ad about his strug-gle with cancer. He, too, fought with his insurance provider over payment for the very treatment that saved his life and is right in his decision to remind others that he went to bat for people whose coverage was terminated by their
insurance company due to an illness and those who have been denied coverage for pre-existing conditions.
Keep in mind that this is not a tactic you will see in states not seeing the same success as Arkansas – and this does not mean that you have seen the last of GOP ads attempting to link Democratic candidates in Arkansas to President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid or for-mer House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. But as success pre-vails, we may see a reduc-tion in the frequency of the ads – or even a change in narrative attempting to further link the program to the economy instead.
Lastly, and perhaps most concerning, is the Democratic Party’s ability to mobilize its own base during mid-term elections. Democrats benefit greatly from young voters, voters of color and specific con-tingents of women (typi-cally unmarried – which represents one in four people of voting age or 56 million Americans.) Data indicates that these three groups turn out in higher numbers during presiden-tial elections. To compli-cate matters further for the party, data also shows that
voter turnout among key GOP-leaning groups (such as 65+) is much higher in mid-term elections, which matters a great deal when overall voter turnout is down.
If the Democrats can take their economic and policy reform victories and utilize them in a way that mobilizes “unreliable vot-ers” (which is the almost 50 million individuals who vote in Presidential elec-tions but skip mid-term elections,) then they will have a legitimate shot at minimizing the gains the GOP stands to make this fall. But if this election is left up to the “Reagan Se-niors” who have replaced the “Roosevelt Seniors,” then the writing is on the wall for Democrats in many states around the country.
