The Glenwood Chamber of Commerce and organizers of the annual Caddo River Festival are busy finalizing the festival plans. This is the 9th year for the annual festival which is held yearly the last full weekend in April in Glenwood, Arkansas.
The City and Chamber have recently found out that a request for additional street closure has been approved by the Arkansas Highway Department. This approval really opens up down-town Glenwood with a host of opportunities for expanding the festival. The current plans are to utilize the space for the car show and exhibitions from local car dealerships.
Caddo River Festival will officially kick off at noon on Fri-day, April 26, when the crafters, vendors and food trucks open for business. During the afternoon Friday, the stage mic will be open for Talent Show participants to practice. The parade will kick off at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Immediately following the parade, the Soon to Be Famous Canoe Races will have the first every Battle of the Canoes featuring canoe races between teams from area schools. The winner will be awarded a trophy that will be kept at the winning school until next year’s race takes place. If you haven’t seen the canoe races, you are definitely missing out and should make plans to come to the festival just to do so.
Following the Battle of the Canoes on Friday, there will be Opening Ceremonies and the 2nd Annual Caddo River Fest’s Got Talent will begin. This is a talent show open to everyone. The preliminary rounds will be on Friday, April 26, following the parade. The finals will be on Saturday, April 27, Jr. at 1:00 p.m., High School at 4:00 p.m., and Sr. at 6:00 p.m. There will also be a People’s Choice winner announced. Times are subject to change. Finalist participants, and People’s Choice winner, must be present at each round and at announce-ment of winners during Saturday night entertainment. Prizes will be awarded in each division Junior: 1st Place $100 2nd Place $75 3rd Place $50 High School: 1st Place $250 2nd Place $125 3rd Place $75 Adult: 1st Place $250 2nd Place $125 3rd Place $75 People’s Choice – amount to be determined .
The festival will be hosting several new activities this year that should be fun for all ages. There will be an Escape Room and an Escape Bus. An escape room is a physical adventure game that allows players to solve a series of puzzles in order to exit or escape the room. Although exact details are being finalized, as of this date, the Escape Room will be held in the Com-munity Room of Glenwood City Hall and the Escape Bus will be located somewhere along Broadway. This should be a fun filled adventure to try out during the festival. Another activity to be added to the festival is a Scavenger Hunt requiring participants to visit local participating merchants, find the clue or get proof of visiting the merchants, and then being entered to win a prize. More details will be announced about these ac-tivities as they become available.

By Ronald KlinkThe Trump administration just pro-
posed a Medicare reform that will be great for seniors' prescription drug spending.
Like every Democrat, I'm not a big fan of this administration. But this is a really good move that I hope my friends in Con-gress will support. It could save seniors more than $50 billion at the pharmacy counter over the next decade.
The proposed rule would affect the al-most 45 million Americans who rely on the "Part D" Medicare benefit for prescrip-tion drugs. Part D plans are subsidized and regulated by the federal government but sold by private insurers. Each plan covers different treatments -- and premiums, co-pays, and co-insurance vary.
Most insurance companies hire phar-macy benefit managers, or PBMs, to ad-minister their drug plans. PBMs thus have great power to decide which drugs are available under each plan. They use that power to negotiate steep discounts.
The problem with this system is that the discounts and rebates PBMs secure -- which amount to about $150 billion a year -- are seldom passed on to consumers at the pharmacy counter.
That drives up pharmacy costs for cus-tomers. Say your medication has a list price of $200. The PBM might negotiate a rebate that brings the cost of that drug down to $80. But since they don't disclose that massive discount, a patient's co-pay is pegged to the full list price of the medi-cine. So if a patient has a 25 percent co-pay, he would spend $50 at the pharmacy.
If insurance plans instead disclosed the actual, true cost of the prescription drug, the patient would only spend $20.
The administration's proposed rule would classify most discounts and rebates as illegal kickbacks unless insurers and PBMs share the savings with patients.
My party has a long history of standing up to corporate interests in defense of the poor, sick, and elderly. So I'm surprised and saddened that some of my fellow Democrats have reflexively dismissed the proposed rule just because it came from the Trump administration.
Seniors' drug spending would plummet under the proposed rule. If 90 percent of discounts and rebates were passed on, Part D beneficiaries would save $53 billion over the next decade.
By reducing co-pays and co-insurance, the rule would make it easier for Medicare enrollees to fill prescriptions. When folks take their drugs, they're much more likely to stay healthy and avoid costly hospital-izations. Over the next decade, the rule could reduce total healthcare spending on diabetes patients alone by $20 billion.
My fellow Democrats don't agree with the Trump administration on much. But in this case, I hope it's different. This reform will greatly benefit Medicare enrollees, particularly the sickest who rely on mul-tiple medications to stay healthy.

Democrats should support Trump’s Medicare rebate proposal
By Mike WallaceSTILL CRYING IN WASHINGTON
D.C. - Would someone open the windows and turn on the exhaust fans?
Nancy Pelosi is speaking and the air is turning foul again. But that also happens when Senator Chuck Schumer speaks. The Democratic Socialist Party leaders are whining again.
For two and a half years, the party which has turned voting NO into an art form on everything which would perhaps be viewed as giving President Trump a campaign promise completion, has told us on a daily basis that we all need to wait for the Robert Mueller report to come out.
Now it has, and it does not read what they think it should say.
The US Senate confirmed William Barr 54-45 as the new Attorney General. Even the Democrats who voted against his con-firmation openly stated that Barr was well qualified and follows the law carefully. They just voted no on Barr because Chuck told them to do so.
Mueller issued his report to Barr as the federal law requires.
Pelosi and Schumer then went on TV to proclaim that following the law is not for them. They wanted the full report with all the background reports. And they then
instructed Barr that he was not to give the Mueller report to the president for review because Trump might take out something which reflects badly on the administration.
Trump said that Barr had stated he would follow law to the letter.
After reviewing the hundreds of pages, Barr issued a four page summary, along with Rod Rosenstein - his Assistant AG - and Pelosi and Schumer immediately stat-ed that was not good enough. The summa-ry stated that Mueller found no evidence of collusion between Trump’s campaign staff, Trump himself or any family mem-ber. It also stated that nothing Trump’s or-ganization or himself did rose to the level of obstruction of justice.
Trump voicing his opinion about the Mueller probe evidently equals obstruc-tion, according to Nancy and Chuck.
Pelosi and Schumer both knew that Barr and his staff have to go through the report page by page, line by line, and take out any grand jury statements or delibera-tions. That is federal law. They also have to take out any revelations on how the federal investigation teams do their jobs, and should remove any person’s name and identification if they were interviewed by the Mueller team and not indicted. They also have to take out any classified materi-
al and anything considered privileged ma-terial between the president and his staff. Again, that is federal law. Those are nor-mal practices by prosecutors at any level.
But Pelosi and Schumer want Barr to break the law. They want all the names of everyone so they can release them willy nilly and ruin more people who may be or may not be Trump supporters.
The plain fact is that Pelosi and Schum-er, Adam Schiff, Maxine Waters and Jerry Nadler do not know how to keep their mouths shut. They would reveal names and places of people interviewed and not indicted on anything just to continue their smoke screen efforts and to destroy people for no reason other than to draw attention away from the fact they are offering noth-ing to help the lives of you and me.
They only want the political system to go back they way it used to be. With them in charge of everything.
ANOTHER PERSON - SAME SUBJECTI noticed that the nine Republicans on
the House Intelligence Committee called for the resignation of Schiff from the chairmanship due to his two and a half year campaign to make America miser-able through his continually harping on collusion. He allegedly had proof of the
collusion between Trump and Russia.The massive amount of people Mueller
had investigating that issue found nothing, but Schiff has proof. He feels it is alright to continue his strident statements and say he has proof.
Don’t you think if Schiff had anything along those lines, that Mueller and his staff would have been all over that?
Schiff was proven many times over that politics and the Democratic Socialist Par-ty are the only things which are important. Pelosi has now come out to the TV cam-eras to say how proud she is over Schiff’s continual imbecilic rantings and ravings .
Now Pelosi and Schumer want to se the complete Mueller report because AG Wil-liam Barr is Trump’s chosen lackey.
Hey, Nancy and Chuck, you lost. Get over it and move on to something America needs like immigration reform, fixing the health care system costs, fixing our roads and bridges, and yes, even the southern border barrier for which you both voted yes two times to fund it, and now it is “im-moral” because Trump promised one.
Have you no shame, Nancy and Chuck? We all see that you don’t have any shame for the continual obstruction. We also see you only have your egos to inflate and your lust for power.
Open the windows, turn on the exhaust fan cause Nancy is at it again
By Glenn Mollette Almost any newspaper, television station and social media venue will sell advertising - to any-
body. How many media outlets in this nation have the resources to investigate every or any would be advertising purchaser? What if the advertiser wants to spend one million dollars through your local television station? What if they want to spend it through a global media outlet like Facebook or Twitter? This is precisely what happened during the past Presidential election. People con-nected to Russia bought advertising to the tune of 1.2 million dollars per month on social media sites.
We've read and heard that fake advertising agencies conspired to buy the advertising and were even promised 15 percent of Twitter's total available ads at one point. Another story cited that 350 different ads were purchased by "people" connected to Russia. Special Counsel Robert Mueller unveiled the details early last year of an alleged widespread and coordinated campaign by Rus-sians to influence the U.S. Presidential election in favor of Donald Trump. We also learned last year that ads were purchased against Hillary Clinton and also in favor of Bernie Sanders.
Recently we have learned that President Trump has been cleared of collusion with the Rus-sians pertaining to his previous Presidential campaign.
However, back to the advertising. Media outlets across the planet employ people and often on commission to sell advertising. If someone calls a small town paper and wants to buy $50,000 worth of advertising, who is going to turn it down? We can move this up to small network tele-vision stations or even national networks such as NBC, CBS or ABC or CNN or Fox...etc. The stations survive, thrive or die based on advertising revenue. Any political action committee in America can send someone with a brief case and a check to meet with the "sales Manager" of whatever entity and walk out with bought advertising.
Throughout our country candidates are receiving lots of money from political action com-mittees from other states. In 2012 Preston Bates and John Ramsey of Texas, via their Super Pac pumped $900,000 into Thomas Massie's Northern Kentucky Congressional campaign running mostly negative ads about his opponents. No media outlet turned any of that money down and Massie won.
This is America and we have freedom of speech and freedom to use all kinds of weird ads for and against political candidates. Most of us are tired of the political ads. How many of us believe half of what we see and hear in political ads aired on TV or viewed on the Internet? We doubt most of what we read, hear and see especially when the ads are condemning a political opponent. Yet, even in a non-Presidential season last Fall the dollars spent were staggering. Broadcast tele-vision advertising was 3.5 billion and over 1.7 billion was spent on digital advertising - primarily Facebook and Google. Over $600 million was spent on newspapers and magazine advertising while $689 million was spent on radio political advertising according to a Forbes report.
How many new cars, houses and condos are paid for by oodles and oodles of political cam-paign money? How many media owners become millionaires again and again every political campaign? Mark Zuckerberg did not become worth 62 billion dollars by telling his advertising executives to spend hours or days trying to figure out exactly all the where and whys of all the money that has streamed right into his pocket. Oh, of course now Facebook is tightening things up we hear.
Another Presidential election is coming and this time we could have Cuba, China or even North Korea buying political ads. The ads could be bought under the guise of "The John Doe-Sally Smith" Advertising Agency representing the "Crazy Zombie Political Action Committee" of Mud Creek, California. When the advertising budget for a million dollars or more is placed on the table, who is going to turn it down?
Presidental advertising - who will turn it down?

WELCOME to our Faith Community!
Glenwood Herald 870-356-2111 • [email protected]
Several Arkansas universities reported record enrollments this fall, while the size of the fresh-men class at other institutions has gone down since last year.
Each campus compiles official enrollment figures on its 11th day of the fall semester. Different universities begin their fall semester on different dates, so not every campus submitted its enroll-ment report to the Department of Higher Education on the same day.
The University of Arkansas at Fayetteville enrolled its largest freshman class, of 5,065 new students. This year is the first time the number of freshmen at the Fayetteville campus has ex-ceeded 5,000.
About 49 percent of the freshmen at Fayetteville are from Arkansas, which matches the rate of last year. The university’s student population has grown remarkably in the past several years, in large part because of an influx of out-of-state students. Total enrollment at Fayetteville is now 27,558. That is a growth of 364 students over last year.
Southern Arkansas University at Magnolia has also been growing in the past few years, and this fall’s enrollment reflected a couple of records. The freshman class of 870 is the largest ever at SAU and total undergraduate enrollment is a record 3,450.
Arkansas State University at Jonesboro, Arkansas Tech at Russellville and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock all reported declines in the size of their freshman class.
ASU enrolled 1,644 new students last year and 1,427 this year. Arkansas Tech enrolled 1,591 freshmen last year and 1,561 this year. UALR enrolled 1,564 last year and 1,325 this year.
The reasons for a decline in enrollment vary, but a major factor is the decision by campuses to raise admission standards and focus on retention of students.
Arkansas must increase the number of college graduates if we intend to be competitive in the global economy, according to elected officials and leaders in business and higher education.
ASU did report a record number of graduate students, 4,336, and a record number of doctoral candidates, 291. Also, a record number of 663 high school students are taking classes for college credit through the university.
Freshman enrollment at the University of Central Arkansas at Conway grew slightly, from 1,880 to 1,937. University officials were pleased that the incoming class was the strongest aca-demically in university history, in terms of test scores and grade point averages. This year’s freshman class at UCA has an average ACT composite score of 24.3 and an average 3.5 grade point average.
The University of Arkansas at Fort Smith saw an increase of 3 percent in the number of new students enrolling this fall. UAFS now has 1,105 first-time students.
Recruiting more international students and expanding the size of online classes are two meth-ods that have potential for increasing enrollment at several Arkansas universities.
Financial stress is a reason that many students fail to complete their higher education. Academ-ic Challenge Scholarships, which are funded by the lottery, are the state’s most popular program. More than 31,000 students have earned the scholarships since the lottery began in 2009.
Lottery sales in August set a record, because of interest in a very large Powerball jackpot. The Arkansas lottery had total revenue of $49.3 million in August. Of that amount, $8.9 million will go for scholarships.
From the very beginning, God has shown Himself to be a missionary God. As soon as man rebelled and sold himself into slavery to sin, God put into place His already conceived plan for reconciliation. God created a special nation from the man Abraham in order to bless the whole world. John 1:9-13 records the plan being set into motion, “There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.” (NASU) Jesus, God With Us, came into the world and His special nation rejected Him. However, according to God’s divine foreordained plan, access into the kingdom of God, as children no less, was thrown open to anyone who would receive Je-sus.
On the night before He was crucified, Jesus did something very interesting for His disci-ples. Knowing that Judas would betray Him, knowing that Peter would deny even knowing Him, and knowing that the rest of the disciples would scurry away in fear, Jesus still took on the job of the most lowly slave and washed their feet. The biblical record set up the scene marvelously in John 13:1-4, “Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own
who were in the world, He loved them *to the end. During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God, got up from supper, and laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He girded Himself.” (NASU, *to the uttermost eternally)
Jesus turned His attention to His own. What a precious title for us! We are “His Own”. Kenneth Wuest in his expanded translation renders verse one, “Now, before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus, since He knew that His hour had come the purpose of which was that He should pass over out of this world to the Fa-ther, having loved with a divine, self-sacrificial love His uniquely-owned ones, those in the world, He loved them to the uttermost.” Je-sus knows that His disciples will betray Him, forsake Him, and deliver Him over to be killed and yet He continues to love them to the utter-most. Furthermore Jesus knows that you and I will betray, deny, and forsake Him and yet He continues to love us. You and I have failed Jesus many times but He still loves us. There has never been a time when He did not love us. There is not a time when He does not love us. There will never be a time when He does not love us. Nothing we have ever done and nothing we will ever do will cause Him to love us any less. We can’t possibly understand that kind of love but we can honor, love, and wor-ship Him precisely because of that unfathom-able love.

LITTLE ROCK – The Senate voted to refer to Arkansas voters a term limits amendment that would restrict future leg-islators to 12-year terms.
Also, the Senate approved a Medicaid budget for next fiscal year, which is one of the most important appropriations in state government.
The measure is Senate Joint Resolution 15 (SJR 15). It was adopted by a vote of 27-to-3.
If the House of Representatives goes along with the Senate resolution, it will be on the general election ballot in Novem-ber of 2020.
The House and Senate have already agreed to refer to voters HJR 1018 to ex-tend permanently the current half-cent sales tax that generates about $294 million a year, with the revenue going for high-way and bridge projects.
The current term limits amendment in the state Constitution limits legislators to a lifetime of 16 years. The proposed SJR 15, while restricting a lawmaker to 12 years, would not be a lifetime limit.
After 12 years the legislator would have to leave office and remain out of office for at least four years before running again for a position in the legislature.
Under SJR 15, current office holders would be “grandfathered in,” meaning that they could continue to serve until they reach 16 years. The 12-year limit would apply to anyone elected in 2021 or after-word.
The Medicaid budget is in Senate Bill 99, the appropriation for the Division of Medical Services for the Department of Human Services. It passed by a vote of 27-to-4, with approval requiring an ex-traordinary majority of 75 percent, or 27 votes in the 35-member Senate. It now goes to the 100-member House, where it
will need 75 votes.SB 99 appropriates more than $8 bil-
lion in state revenue and federal matching funds.
Medicaid subsidizes health care ser-vices for children working families who cannot afford private insurance, nursing home care and medical care for people with low incomes.
When physicians, hospitals and phar-macies provide services to eligible Medic-aid recipients, they are reimbursed by the Medicaid program.
The House passed HB 1775 to impose a work requirement for about 50,000 food stamp recipients. In order to receive a food stamp card, they would have to look for work or take job training.
The work requirement would apply to people under 60 whose children are older than six. It also would apply if they had no children. HB 1775 will next be considered by the Senate.
The Senate voted to increase penalties for political candidates who break cam-paign finance laws by converting contri-butions to personal use. If they convert more than $2,500, the offense will be a felony. The increased penalties are in SB 258, which was sent to the House.
Both chambers have approved and sent to the governor for his signature HB 1409 to guarantee that elementary students get at least 40 minutes a day of recess.
The bill recognizes that mandates en-acted over the years by the legislature have made it difficult for schools to fit in all of the required classwork, as well as recess.
The Senate has passed SB 383 to enable schools to hire their own law enforcement officers for security, so they do not have to rely on local sheriffs’ offices and police departments.
Throughout the Bible, God asks many questions of individuals and of whole groups of people. We can learn a great deal by formu-lating our own answers to these questions. It would be wise to remember just exactly who it is that we are answering. The Bible is also clear that we will one day give an account to our Sovereign Creator for our deeds and our words. The Bible is very clear that God sees and understands everything and judges not only the actions but also the heart. Jesus said in the New Testament that rather than pleasing men who might possibly be able to kill us, our top pri-ority ought to be pleasing the One who could at any moment kill us and cast our souls into everlasting hell. After observing my own life and the lives of others, it is painfully obvi-ous that we fail that test far more often than we pass it. Let us consider a question from Proverbs that could not be more pertinent and significant to our current generation.
Go to the ant, you slug-gard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no com-mander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provi-sions in summer and gath-ers its food at harvest. How long will you lie there, you
sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest — and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man. (Proverbs 6:6-11 NIV)
As a pastor, I have been personally involved in and also observed a lot of be-nevolence ministry. That must be the most frustrat-ing type of ministry there is. Distinguishing the con artist from the truly needy is very difficult, no its vir-tually impossible, and very frustrating. The minis-ter of benevolence knows without a doubt that giving to a con artist hurts rather than helps that individual. It also reduces the gift to the truly needy. The pas-sage quoted above calls into account both the lazy and the foolish.
Do people plot and plan to become unable to take care of themselves, to be dependent on someone else to work to support them? Thirty years ago, I thought not but I now know from experience that some do. In the vast ma-jority of cases, it is at the very least certainly not an accident. A few people are purely victims of circum-stances that could neither be prevented nor foreseen. However, most destitute
people would have diffi-culty answering the ques-tion posed in Proverbs quoted above. Remem-ber that the question does not come from me or any other man, it comes from God Himself. Remember also that the answer will be given to God. The point of the question is to get the lazy and the foolish to realize that poverty creeps up slowly because of our wasting of time, energy, resources, or opportuni-ties. Too many minutes, hours, and days are missed at work and the job is lost. Too much time is wasted on the job, the tasks go un-finished or take too long to be finished, the business shuts its doors, and jobs are lost. The sluggard fails to see the long-range con-sequences of his laziness and foolishness. Poverty and need will arrive at their door unannounced and un-expected. Poverty and need will come in power and strength like the un-ending waves of the ocean. At this point, the sluggard will be unable to fight it off. Take God’s advice. Learn from the ant: work diligently, save money for the bad times that will surely come, gather food, store up provisions while it is still possible. You will be glad that you did.

Happy birthday to Charles Lambert, April 6, Terry Diggs, and Nova Lee Vincil, April 8.
We were happy to see a humming bird Wednesday, March 27, which is a little earlier than most years for their return. I had put out a feeder a few days earlier in hopes of attracting hummers. We have had very few wild birds of other types this winter, which is unusual, but I am hoping springtime will bring them in.
This coming weekend we are expecting son Jonathan to come in to turkey hunt for a few days. Jim is not going to be able to do much tramping through the woods this year because of arthritic knees and now a case of gout – we think. Whether a turkey is killed or not, we will enjoy a visit from our only son.
Jim has a few comments on current situations: “It’s that time of year again. Things are really greening up in the Pigeon Roost/Imelda Metroplex. I saw a dogwood almost in full bloom this past week, but most are just starting to get a little color. The one I saw was growing in full sun, so it got a jump on the others.
A few weeks ago I mentioned that we did not have any candidates from the Bonnerd-ale/Imelda Metroplex running for office this year, so I don’t really know what will hap-pen when voting time comes around. I mentioned that we have some ‘good old Joes’ in the metroplex, but none of them saw fit to put their name in the hat. However, I do see that there is one ‘Joe’ in the national news though. It still remains to be seen whether he will toss his hat into the ring. From what I read and see he may be a ‘good ole Joe’, but I seriously doubt that he is up to speed on the political situation in the Bonnerdale/Pigeon Roost Metroplex.
Some of the big issues here are – how deep will the pot holes become before the county road crew grades the road, when will the culvert that is washed out be replaced on Yukon Pass, who is responsible for maintenance on the road to the Pot Hole on Mazarn Creek? I can’t understand why these important issues aren’t addressed by the national media, when something like a ‘pat’ on the head is talked about for weeks on end. I just checked my garden plot and I believe I will be able to break it again. The rains have come about once a week, so it never has time to dry up enough to plow. It is still too cold to do much planting, and the weatherman is calling for 32 degrees tonight (Monday). If I can get the ground tilled, just maybe the fire ants will slow down a little bit. Come to think about it, maybe the ‘fire ants’ will warm the ground so I can plant earlier. My Bible teaches that the Lord works in mysterious ways.”
Thought for the week: “When you make a commitment, you build hope --- when you keep it, you build trust”. See you next week.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., March 29, 2019 –USDA’s Natural Resources Conserva-tion Service (NRCS) plans to invest $450 million this year through the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP) to help private landowners, tribes, land trusts and other groups wanting to restore and protect critical wetlands and protect agricultural lands and grasslands.
“For over 25 years, NRCS has worked with landowners in Arkansas to protect their wetlands and agricultural lands,” said Mike Sullivan, NRCS state con-servationist in Arkansas. “Conservation easements are important tools for people who are trying to improve soil health, water and air quality and wildlife habitat on their land.”
ACEP provides assistance to land-owners and eligible entities helping con-serve, restore and protect wetlands and productive agricultural lands and grass-lands. NRCS accepts ACEP applications year-round, but applications are ranked and funded by enrollment period.
Wetland Reserve EasementsThrough ACEP Wetland Reserve
Easements, NRCS helps landowners and tribes restore, enhance and protect wet-land ecosystems. NRCS and the land-owner work together to develop a plan
for the restoration and maintenance of the easement.
“Seventy-five percent of the nation's wetlands are situated on private and tribal lands,” Sullivan said. “Wetlands provide many benefits, including critical habitat for a wide array of wildlife spe-cies. They also store floodwaters, clean and recharge groundwater, sequester car-bon, trap sediment and filter pollutants for clean water.”
Wetland conservation easements are either permanent, for 30 years or the maximum extent allowed by state law. Tribal landowners have the added option of enrolling in 30-year non-easement res-toration contracts. Eligible lands include:
Farmed or converted wetlands that can successfully be restored;
Croplands or grasslands subject to flooding; and
Riparian areas that link protected wetland areas.
Agricultural Land EasementsThrough ACEP Agricultural Land
Easements (ALE), NRCS provides funds to eligible entities to purchase easements on private working lands. This program helps keep working lands working, espe-cially in areas experiencing development pressure.
Eligible cooperating entities include state or local agencies, non-profits and tribes. Landowners continue to own their property but voluntarily enter into a legal agreement with a cooperating entity to purchase an easement. The cooperating entity applies for matching funds from NRCS for the purchase of an easement from the landowner, permanently pro-tecting its agricultural use and conser-vation values. Landowners do not apply directly to NRCS for funding under ALE.
Easements are permanent. Eligible lands include privately owned cropland, rangeland, grassland, pastureland and forestlands.
More InformationACEP remains a major part of the re-
cently passed 2018 Farm Bill and pro-gram implementation will continue dur-ing fiscal year 2019 with some minor changes.
Landowners and tribes interested in wetland reserve easements and part-ners interested in agricultural land ease-ments should contact their local USDA service center.To learn about ACEP and other technical and financial assistance available through NRCS conservation programs, visit www.nrcs.usda.gov/Get-Started or www.ar.nrcs.usda.gov.

By Waymon CoxGreetings from Crater of Diamonds State Park! New
visitors often have many questions their first time search-ing for diamonds. Here are answers to a few of the more common queries that we hear:
What tools can I bring?Many visitors bring their own tools from home when
visiting the Crater of Diamonds. Buckets and shovels are obvious choices, but there are other options that may help in your diamond search. Since most diamonds are found by sifting, some people bring their own screens from home. A small, 1/8” or 1/16” mesh will catch most diamonds while sifting dirt. Some visitors also build two or three stackable screens with different mesh sizes to classify sifted gravel by size. Most screen series start with a 1/2” or 1/4” on top, with progressively finer mesh in lower screens. This makes it easier to search different sizes of gravel for the metallic luster of a diamond.
What’s the difference between a basic kit and an ad-vanced kit?
We hear this question often from first-time visitors who don’t bring their own equipment or want to rent tools at the park. The park rents two “kits” for wet sifting. The basic kit contains a bucket, shovel, and screen set and is recommended for up to three people.
The advanced kit includes everything in the basic kit, plus a round screen called a saruca. The saruca has a bowl shape to resift gravel and concentrate heavy rocks and minerals in the bottom of the screen. After sifting in water, the saruca is flipped upside-down on a table, so that heavy gravel (and hopefully a diamond) appears on top of the resulting gravel pile. While most first-time visitors rent the basic kit, larger families or “regular” park visitors often use the advanced kit to wet sift more efficiently.
How deep should I dig?The answer depends on how much work you want to
put into diamond mining. For casual visitors, we rec-ommend sticking to the top four to six inches of dirt in lower parts of the diamond search area. During a hard rain, water washes through the plowed field, collecting heavy gravel and leaving it in low-lying areas. Diamonds are fairly heavy for their size and are often found near other heavy rocks and minerals, such as jasper, hematite, calcite, and quartz.
Some miners dig for gravel beds that may be buried
several feet underground, deposited by streams and other waterways that ran across the surface of the crater long ago. They often use long metal rods to probe the soil and find buried gravel layers to excavate. This method re-quires more work and is usually easier when two or more people dig together. Holes that are more than four feet deep must be dug with specific parameters for safety, and all holes must be backfilled before the search area closes each day. The park provides a list of rules and regulations that provide more information about digging holes.
Our website at www.CraterofDiamondsStatePark.com has an FAQ page with answers to many more common questions about the park. Now that spring is here, we are looking forward to meeting lots of new visitors in the coming weeks and helping them have an exciting experi-ence at the Crater!

More answers to common Crater of Diamonds questions
By Waymon CoxGreetings from Crater of Diamonds State Park! One of the most useful tools in searching for diamonds is a sifting
screen. A fine-mesh screen helps you to sift dirt and search through gravel quickly. When used properly, it can greatly increase your chances of finding a diamond! The park rents screens and other tools for diamond searching, but some people like to make their own screens for a more meaningful park experience.
On Friday, May 3, from 9 to 11 a.m., the Crater of Diamonds will host a workshop for visitors interested in build-ing their own box screens to sift for diamonds. During the morning, participants will build screens in the Diamond Discovery Center classroom before taking them into the search area for a hands-on lesson in sifting.
Work gloves and screwdrivers will be provided to assemble box screens from pre-drilled kits. All ages are welcome to attend, but children should bring an adult to help put their screens together. Participants should dress to be outside and bring their own shovels and buckets, if desired. The park will also have equipment available for rent.
All participants should register for the workshop by Friday, April 12. Space is limited, with a minimum of four attendees required. Cost is $10 per screen, payable at the visitor center on May 3. Contact the park at 870-285-3113 or [email protected] to register. The screen that you build could be the one that finds your very own diamond!

By Mike WallaceCADDO HILLS - The
Caddo Hills Indians bat-tled the visiting Kirby Tro-jans run for run Wednesday evening, March 27, leading 3-2 at the end on the fourth inning.
Kirby scored first with one run in the top of the opening inning. Caddo came right back with two runs in the bottom of the first for a 2-1 lead.
Kirby’s Hayden Johnson led off with a walk, and stole three bases for the first run of the game. The Trojans left two runners on base. Caddo’s Matt Turner recorded three strike outs to turn back the Trojans.
In the bottom of the first inning, Caddo’s Colton Cowart walked, stole sec-ond and advanced to third base on a sacrifice hit by Jarrett Runyan. Con-ner Kelley brought home Cowart with a single base hit to left field for a 1-1 tie. Turner brought Kelley home on a single to right field for a 2-1 Caddo lead.
Neither team scored in the second inning. Kirby put two runners on base in the top of the second, but left both stranded.

In the bottom of the third, Senior Indian Cow-art singled to center field, stole second and went to third base on a pitch which went past the Kirby catch-er. Cowart stole home plate with a head first slide for a 3-1 Caddo margin.
In the top of the fourth inning, Kirby scored an-other run. Blake Turner
drew a walk, stole second base and went to third base on another passed ball at home plate. Kirby’s Ty-ler Nichols hit a double to bring in Turner for a 3-2 score.
In the bottom of the fourth, Caddo put runners on base, but could not push them across stranding two.
The Trojans saved all their thunder for the top of the fifth inning.
Carter Turner singled to center field. Shandon
Sykes singled up the mid-dle, and the Caddo pitcher threw his glove at the ball which bounced over him.. The home plate umpire called time out to instruct the Caddo pitcher that the move was illegal. This moved Turner and Sykes forward one base.
After Trae Samuel struck out, Johnson was safe at first after Caddo made an error trying to run down Turner. Turner made it back to third giving the
Trojans three on base with one out. Blake Turner struck out, and the sky fell in on Caddo.
Kirby scored ten runs in the top of the fifth inning with two outs on them.
