Greetings Searcy County, We are excited to announce that we are taking applications for a half-time position as a Searcy County 4H assistant. For many years we had Pam Canada in this position, and she was a great asset to the county. Once again by the decision of the Searcy County Quorum Court we are going to bring that position back to Searcy County. We believe this will help serve some of the needs of our youth in Searcy County. For more details or to apply, please visit http://uada.edu/jobs Posting # R0053863.

There are more wildflowers blooming. The lilac blooms are starting to fade. I have seen some house finches around the patio. So far, I have not seen any hummingbirds yet. I have cleaned the sparrow nests out of the Martin house. Now I just need to clean it out a little more. I have some of my potted plants I need to repot, they are getting root bound.

CPR: YES OR NO? Why even ask? CPR saves lives, doesn’t it? Yes, CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) can save lives – in certain circumstances, but it’s not necessarily the best choice in others. CPR intervenes when a patient’s heart, pulse, and breathing have stopped.

Taxes due here before long, April 15, I always wait until the last day in October. No sense in getting in a hurry. I tell Don every year it’s his turn to do the taxes. Sixty years later still waiting on his turn.

Good morning, everyone. This is a nice sunshiny Monday morning. This is the big day that we have all been waiting for. If everything stays like it is now it will be a good day for the eclipse. I’m sure there will be lots of people out there to see it, and I just hope everyone stays safe and enjoys it.

Good morning. Today is Thursday. I went to visit Leisa Younger at the Mountain Wave office. I visited Cindy at Boston Mountain. I also visited Thereisa Jackson at the Medic Pharmacy. Then I went home after that.

Hello from the ridge. Hope your week has started off well.
