Go figure They say that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. By THAT definition, what I did this week was not insane. I have friends who seem to be working from a different definition because they would argue that it was. Along with the other injuries and complaints this summer, my back went out like never before.

A new disease for cattle in our part of the country has been discovered to be present here in Searcy County. The disease is Theilaria orientalis ikeda. It is carried by the Asian Long Horn Tick, and is a blood parasite. The symptoms are similar to Anaplasmosis which is carried by the same tick but is a different disease. If you would like to learn more about this disease you can go to The Arkansas Department of Agriculture website and search Asian Longhorn Tick Resources or call your Searcy County University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture County Extension Agent at 870-4483981.
The Searcy County Historical Society will meet at 7:00 pm on Friday, August 23 at the First Christian Church. Ralph S. Wilcox, National Register & Survey Coordinator and Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer for the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program, will give the program. He will talk about three things. First, an overview of the National Register of Historic Places program in Arkansas and what the process is for listing a property on the National Register. Second, talk briefly about two National Register nominations that are currently in process for properties in Searcy County. Third, talk about Truscon buildings, which are a brand of prefabricated building that were manufactured in Youngstown, Ohio, between the 1910s and 1930s. Marshall actually has the largest Truscon Building in the state, and he guesses that Truscon Buildings are not well known in Searcy County.

Hello from Zack. Here we are in the month of August already and a hot one it’s been.
August has arrived in Arkansas, marking the beginning of the new school year. Arkansas State Police (ASP) wants to remind Arkansans that school days bring heavier traffic congestion in the mornings and afternoons when school buses are picking up riders, parents are hurrying to drop off their kids before heading to work, and new drivers are hitting the roads, many for the first time in rush hour traffic.
Last Wednesday I went to the Mountain Wave office and I visited with Charity Rolen while there. I came home after that.
