Mark Your Calendars OSHA May Be Targeting You State Businesses Should Beware of Agency's Latest Mandate Osha Officials have been crowning of late at the success of their Maine 200 pilot program where they gave Maine's 200 businesses with the highset Lost Workday Incedence (LWDI) rates an oppotunity to be a partner with the agency and design their own safety programs to improve their safety conditions. (Partner is defined as one who cooperates rather than having to be subject to a wall-to-wall inspection.) In Arkansas, the program is called SHAPE-Arkansas and will take a couple of years to complete. Some of you have already been notified that you have been selected to participate. Originally, the Arkansas program left out many of the core elements of the Maine 200 program, such as having LWDI rates well above the national average. In fact, OSHA claimed it could not obtain the necessary information from the State of Arkansas or from the businesses themselves because of related state laws and/or OMB's interpretation of the Paperwork Reduction Act.

CIVIL WAR IN THE OZARKS Visitors to Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park are given a view of the total effect of the Civil War on the people of the Ozarks. In addition to preserving an important 360-acre section of the original Civil War battlefield, the park has a unique collection of buildings depicting life in this area from the pre-Civil War Era to post-Civil War reconstruction. The museum in Hindman Hall and self-guided walking and driving tours give visitors an understanding of the Battle of Prairie Grove, while the interpretive emphasis in the Ozark village focuses on the effect of war on Ozark life. THE BATTLE OF PRAIRIE GROVE On December 7, 1862, a Confederate Army under Major General Thomas C. Hindman engaged the Union divisions of Brigadier General Francis J. Herron and James G. Blunt near Prairie Grove Church. Hindman's original plan to strike Blunt, isolated at Cane Hill, Arkansas, was foiled by the timely arrival of two Union divisions under Herron. Hindman bypassed Blunt at Cane Hill on the morning of December 7, 1862, and marched to meet Herron. The two armies collided at Prairie Grove. Hindman's men took a defensive position on a ridge overlooking the Illinois River. The Battle began with an artillery duel which opened the way for a Union attack. Between noon and 2 p.m. two Union attacks met with bloody repulse. The battered Union forces were reinforced about 2:30 p.m. by Blunt's arrival on the battlefield. The fighting spread westward, with savage attack and counter attack until darkness ended the fighting. The Confederate Army retreated southward during the night as its ammunition was nearly exhausted.

LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES 2003 Legislative Session POSITION ONE: Create a State Department of Agriculture Arkansas is one of only two states without an agency to develop and promote its agricultural sector and protect family farms. Arkansas family farms are in crises. While neighboring states have taken an active role in market development, promoting state-produced crops and encouraging farm diversification, Arkansas has made no attempt to develop its family agricultural sector. We need to create and fund a Department of Agriculture and Farm Sustainability that will: 1. Develop, promote and diversify the state's farming sector, 2. Coordinate the various state agencies that currently regulate Arkansas agriculture, and 3. Represent Arkansas at the federal level. POSITION TWO: Eliminate conflict of interest voting on state boards POSITION THREE: Legislate stronger penalties for hate crimes POSITION FOUR: Election reform POSITION FIVE: Increase funding for domestic violence shelter programs in Arkansas To read bills you must have Adobe AcrobatReader Its Free

There are benefits to belonging to a rock club. Field trips, programs, and like-minded fellowship are the biggest draws Chapter 16 Hot Springs Geology Club P.O. Box 257, Hot Springs, AR 71902 The HSGC meets the fourth Thursday of each month at 7:00 P.M. at the Arkansas School For Mathematics and Science, 200 Whittington Ave., Hot Springs, Arkansas, in the education building. A variety of programs are offered on topics including minerals, mineralogy, geology, palentology, lapidary art and jewelry making, global positioning systems, VCRs on various subjects - volcanos, caves, gemstones, etc. Our forty or so members range from all walks of life from novices to professors, all with common interests in learning more about this earth on which we reside. Another feature of the HSGC is the monthly newletter which provides information on current events relating to the club, science, a descriptive "Mineral Of The Month" article, mineral properties, and other topics of interest. Annual dues are $12.00 per person, $20.00 per family; students are given membership free of charge. Visitors are always welcome. The HSGC is a member of the South-Central Federation of Mineralogical Societies. The Hot Springs Geology Club began in the early 1970's and received its charter May 22, 1974. For many years a high level of interest was maintained by the members but gradually diminished until the organization was almost non-existent. Fortunately, in 1992, Erick Garnum, of Nacka, Sweden was then living in Hot Springs. Primarily through his foresight, dedicated interest in mineralogy and geology, and organizational skills, interest in the club was revitalized to again become a very active organization.

Confirmation Statement Of U.S. Surgeon General Before The U.S. Senate Labor And Human Resources Committee by Joycelyn Elders Former U.S. Surgeon General July 23, 1993 Good Morning! Mr. Chairman, Senator Kassebaum and members of the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee, it is a great honor to appear before you today as President Clinton's nominee for the position of Surgeon General. I want to thank you for taking time from your busy schedules to meet with me during the past few weeks. I appreciate that opportunity and look forward to talking with those of you I have not yet met. Before proceeding further, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my dear husband, Oliver Elders, and all of my family and friends, many of whom are here today, who have supported me throughout my career, and particularly, for their support during the past six months. Many say I am a lightening rod. Please know that they have been my thunder. I appear before you today at a time when our entire Nation is facing great challenges in public health. AIDS, violence, teenage pregnancy, a drug resistant strain of tuberculosis, low immunization rates all indicate we have not done a very good job at selling healthy lifestyles in this country. I believe the only way to heal our Nation is through prevention. Prevention requires education. If confirmed, I would make my utmost goal the education of our people, all our people, on how to stay healthy. I have some personal and professional understanding of these challenges that I would like to share with you. But before I do that, I would like to address some issues about me that have been raised.

Some are victims of violence, psychological torment or sexual abuse. Others have been neglected or even abandoned by their own parents. Most of them are frightened and confused. Often these children also become victims of this country's overburdened child welfare system a complex legal network of lawyers, social workers and judges who frequently are too overburdened to give thorough, detailed attention to each child who comes before them. The consequences can be severe.
