Prairie Grove Battlefield Reenactment Jessee Cox reported on the Prairie Grove Battlefield Reenactment held December 1-2, 2012, at Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park. The event was held in commemoration of the 150 th Anniversary of the Battle of Prairie Grove, where on December 7, 1862, the Confederate Army of the Trans-Mississippi clashed with the Union Army of the Frontier resulting in 2,700 casualties in one day. A video featuring scenes from the battlefield and encampment was shown. More than 25,000 people attended the two-day event. The original reenactment was held in 1977 with 138 reenactors participating; the 2012 event drew 1,027 reenactors. Club de Madrid Video Mr. Davies reported on the Club de Madrid conference held in Little Rock at the Clinton Presidential Library, December 17-18, 2012. Club de Madrid is an organization based in Spain with a membership composed of more than 85 former prime ministers and presidents from 38 countries. The conference, titled Harnessing 21st Century Solutions: A Focus on Women, was not open to the general public. Cranford Johnson Robinson Woods put together a video highlighting Arkansas and the accomplishments of its innovative citizens and organizations. CY 2011 Volunteer Report Mr. Davies reported on the annual report for Volunteers, Donations and Grants for the Department of Parks and Tourism for calendar year 2011. The report lists the number of volunteers, the hours worked, and the value per hour for each state park. Volunteer reports are submitted each January to the Department of Human Services Division of Volunteerism. Of the 126 state agencies, organizations, and institutions that reported utilizing volunteers in 2011, the Department of Parks and Tourism was number one in the number of volunteers with 73,023. Within those numbers, 11,420 were from the Parks Division, 61,409 from Keep Arkansas Beautiful, and 17 from the Executive Director’s Office. SPRTC Minutes January 17, 2013 Page 5 Congressional Letter Regarding McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation In November 2012, Congressman Tim Griffin met with a senior representative of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regarding the proposed recreational lockage policy, which would reduce the level of service for recreational vessels on the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System (MKARNS). Congressman Griffin’s office has received numerous inquiries and complaints from individuals across Arkansas concerned the Army Corps’ proposed policy could negatively affect the enjoyment of the Arkansas River and the Arkansas economy. A letter was sent to the Assistant Secretary for Civil Works outlining a list of concerns and requesting a response to these concerns. The Congressional letter was signed by Senators Mark Pryor, John Boozman, and James Inhofe of Oklahoma, and Congressmen Tim Griffin, Mike Ross, Rick Crawford, and Steve Womack. Miscellaneous On January 9, 2013, Deputy Secretary of the Interior David Hayes announced the White River was named the nation’s second National Blueway. National Blueways are nationally significant rivers (and their watersheds) that are highly valued for the recreational, cultural, and ecological assets for the communities that depend on them. As part of the America’s Great Outdoors Initiative, the designation recognized the innovative partnerships that are working to conserve the White River across its watershed from the Ozarks to the Mississippi. Federal leaders also announced a series of new initiatives aimed at supporting the new National Blueway. Commissioner Jim Dailey reported that the Little Rock Municipal Airport Commission has proposed several changes to the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport. Phase one of the $67 million funding will include an enlarged and modernized ticket lobby and a video wall located near the baggage claim area. The purpose of the renovation is to create a marketplace for the community, a transportation hub, and an economic engine for central Arkansas. The Arkansas General Assembly convened January 14. A bill has been introduced to revise the current law that prohibits sex offenders from visiting municipal pools and playgrounds where children are present, to also include Arkansas State Parks pools and playgrounds. In January, several members from the tourism industry and ADPT met with Speaker of the House Davy Carter to express concerns about tourism in Arkansas. The meeting was held at the Arkansas Hospitality Association. An article written by Mr. Davies, and published in The City Wire, discusses the state of tourism in Arkansas and how far it has come over the years. “The State of Tourism in the Natural State” mentions the history of tourism as an economic generator. SPRTC Minutes January 17, 2013 Page 6 Investments such as Verizon Arena in North Little Rock, Garvan Woodland Gardens in Hot Springs, and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, to name a few, have all helped benefit the state as a tourist destination. During 2011, tourism and travel was estimated to be a $5.68 billion industry. Claude Legris, Executive Director for the Fort Smith Conventions & Visitors Center announced

  • 2018-2019 Program Resource Book Table of Contents
    You Can Be Anything! As many of you know, each year I have a President and CEO patch designed to give to the girls I meet. My patches are based on stories from my sons. Each son, who are now grown men, decided what they felt was one of the most important life lessons I have taught them. They said if the lesson was good enough for them, they would also be good for the girls. My first patch, from my oldest son, Benjamin, who now has a daughter of his own, is “Make Wise Choices.” Spencer, my second son, remembers me always telling him “It is important to look in the mirror and like who he sees looking back,” so this message became my second patch. My third son, Brooks, suffered with a physical disability as a young boy. He learned it was best to “Be Kind” even if others were not kind to him. He was very clear that his patch would be the “Be Kind” patch. That brings me to my newest patch. Christian, my stepson, was excited to get his own patch. When I first met him, he was very shy. He was always encouraged to try and experience everything life had to offer to help him get over his shyness and find his passion. Due to this encouragement he is now pursuing his dream of being a rock star – because he can be anything! This program book provides countless opportunities for girls to make choices, like the girl they are becoming, be kind in their service to others and realize they can be anything.

  • Indian History in the Lake Ouachita Region
    Indian History in the Lake Ouachita Region Mary Beth Trubitt, Ph.D. (Arkansas Archeological Survey) ake Ouachita was created with the construction of Blakely Mountain Dam by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1953. The lake, designed for flood control, hydroelectric power, recreation, and wildlife man- agement,L covers about 40,000 acres in Garland and Montgomery counties. Before the lake, rural communities such as Buckville, Avant, and Cedar Glades developed in the Ouachita River valley between the 1880s and 1950. There are traces of still older communities beneath the waters of Lake Ouachita, places where Indians lived dur- ing the past 13,500 years. We can learn about this Indian history from oral traditions, from written accounts left by explorers, and from archeology.
