Camp Jack column: Forgotten children of war
She doesn’t remember anything about the war. Somehow, her mother protected her from the sounds of hundreds of allied bombers overhead turning German cities into rubble. Yet it was among this rubble that she grew up. Born in 1941, she was far too young to understand Hitler’s master plan that brought so much death and destruction to her homeland and beyond. When the war ended in 1945, she was only four years old and living in an occupied land where crime was rampant and shelter, jobs, water and food were scarce. Like all children of war, she paid a heavy price for the sins of others.

Dear Dave, My girlfriend’s parents are divorced, and they’re both in their early seventies. We talked the other night, and she’s thinking about buying them each life insurance policies. The only coverage her dad has is through his employer. Her mom has remarried, and she doesn’t have any life insurance at all. On top of this, her dad is worried he might have to pay her mom’s funeral expenses if she died, and he’s not in good enough shape financially to do that. Do you have any advice? Joshua

Harrison Teachers' Innovative teaching program gets $2,000 boost from Voya Financial

Kristen Motley and Becca Jackson are more than teachers, they are innovators. The two educators implemented the Solar Systems Scholars’ project for grades K-6 in the Harrison School District to help students understand the earth and skies through hands-on lessons during their Enrichment class. Approximately 900 students will gain a better understanding of the world we live in with models of the sun, moon and earth and other hands-on materials. By actually seeing and manipulating models, the concepts of space and time will become less abstract. Students will learn how tides move, how the moon goes through different phases, the logistics that produce solar and lunar eclipses and many other occurrences that may otherwise seem difficult to understand.

Carl and I recently made a shopping trip to Lefler’s clothing store in Conway. Lefler’s is my favorite place to shop for clothing. The Boone County Bee club held their monthly meeting this past Tuesday evening. They will have one more meeting in October and then close down for the winter. This group of bee keepers are a very helpful group. They are willing to help and advise those that don’t have as much experience as needed. I fit in that “needing help” category. My cousin, Calvin Bolin, passed away one day this week. Our thoughts and prayers go out for the immediate family.
Not to much excitement. Got groceries and went to Sunday School. I get tired out easy, I just need to get up and go. Sue goes to Kings River Therapy twice a week. I feel better after I have a morning one.
Greetings from Capps. We had about 1.2 inches of much-needed rain last Tuesday night with more in the forecast. I'm grateful that Fall came a bit early this year. It makes doing outside work more pleasant. This is a good time to burn brush and clean up before it gets windy, it's also great weather for transplanting trees and shrubs cole crops. I've got a few loblolly pines to get in the ground as well as some roses and peonies. The Capps Batavia Fire Department responded to several vehicle accidents over the last week or so and calls for fires have been minimal over the summer. Tim Hunter, one of our Assistant Chiefs, will be honored on Monday night at the Capps Firehouse by the American Legion for exemplary service as a first responder. He's also taken the lead in the preparation for our upcoming inspection by ISO, putting in many, many hours of time checking hydrants and updating records. One of our goals is to be able to potentially expand our facility at Capps to facilitate improved training and space as we upgrade equipment. We saw lots of pumpkin stands on our way to Fayetteville last Tuesday, I'll miss not selling pumpkins, pansies and mums at Diversified Services this year, but I enjoyed the 5 years I had there and the many friendships that were formed during that time. It's always good to be looking ahead with expectation to the good things God has in store rather than looking back with regret. I'm praying that your Fall will be peaceful and blessed, Doug
