Greetings from Capps. Last week saw the return of the glowing yellow orb and warmer temperatures, almost T-Shirt weather. The road patches by ARDOT 392 and Boone County at Creel didn't last long. It's starting to look a bit lunar in the area. They don't plan to resurface Hwy 392 through Capps and Batavia until 2026 the last time I checked. I'd like to believe that Northwest Arkansas isn't the state's "stepchild" when it comes to road projects ( unless of course they're in the I-49 corridor) but it sure seems that way sometimes. The memorial service for Mildred Sparks was held at Capps Full Gospel Church on Tuesday. The work continues on the fellowship hall there at the church. Coincidentally, the fellowship hall at Restoration Life Fellowship in Batavia is getting a major renovation done as well. The Capps Batavia Fire Department had our monthly training meeting last Monday. We just finished up our ISO inspection and we moved up a level so that's great news for everyone in the district. We will focus on the areas that need improvement and continue to uphold our standards where we've done well. Thanks to all the dedicated people who worked extra hard on the preparation, especially Tim Hunter. Blessings, Doug more

Hello friends… January was full of leadership programs and convening stakeholders from all over our community. The Chamber is often recognized for the big scissors and golden shovels in the newspaper celebrating new business or significant milestones of our community, but sometimes the most important work we do is behind the scenes or feels like planting seeds that may not bear fruit until some future date. more

For most hunters, claiming a deer with archery tackle, a muzzleloader and modern gun is quite the accomplishment. To accomplish all three in the same year is the mark of a truly dedicated deer hunter. Charleen Parten of Marianna, who recently celebrated her 90th birthday, has managed this feat not once but 20 times in her hunting career. more

Jerry and Janice Harris returned home safely from their trip to a motorcycle event this week. I believe that was in Hatfield. I am very thankful that my husband Carl took vacation time off from work this week. We had planned to attend the Kenneth Copeland Ministry Conference in Lake Worth, Texas this week. But since the cold came in so harsh, we decided to stay home and keep the fire burning so the dogs would not have to stay out in the extreme cold and we could prevent water pipes from freezing up and breaking while we were gone. Church at Restoration Life was cancelled for last Sunday due to the extreme cold. Hopefully, Wednesday night and next Sunday the weather will warm up! more

I gave you my phone number but it has been out ever since Thursday. We had a big blast of lightning that sounded like it was on the front porch. I have never seen anything like that ever before, it knocked out the Gordons and Hills phone out also, but theirs on Friday but I still don’t have one and it is Monday but on Tuesday it came back on. The last time it was so cold and my bones hurt and the only heat we got is wood and I was sit on it about 2 a.m. and watch Touched by An Angel. I wish it was on the tv during the day. Just got a prayer request for Bonnie Fultz who they had to rush to the Harrison Hospital. Our prayers are with you Bonnie. more
Greetings from Capps. My angel neighbors down the road (you know who you are) brought us two quarts of beans and some cornbread on Monday. It hit the spot on a cold day. Tuesday morning, (-15 wind chill) my neighbor Merlin cut down and sawed up two snags in my pasture. They'll be good firewood for his new stove. The good news is that as of today, Wednesday, the temperature is finally above freezing. It got so cold out here that my goosebumps had goosebumps on them! I lost track of how many buckets of warm water I hauled to the animals but it was a lot. Thankfully, the cows have a stock tank heater and I have a few other heated bowls. Capps Batavia Fire received the anticipated, "I smell gas" calls from the Highway 392/397 area. When the temperature drops significantly, there is a pressure relief valve that releases gas at the pumping station. That being said, better safe than sorry and if you smell gas inside your home, move outside and leave the door open to help ventilate, then call for help. I guess the majority of the vehicle wrecks were all outside and around our area according to a local ambulance driver but we were chained up and ready to go if needed. I'm still working with Frances Flippo from Capps doing cleaning for Terry Estes, after February, I hope to be doing home Healthcare while finishing school. Blessings, Doug more
