With the 2012 Primary Election here and early voting under way there seems to be some confusion on the different primaries. We currently have two primaries underway, the Democrat primary and the Republican Primary. After observing, and also getting a few phone calls I would like to clear up the confusion.

Arkansas is an open primary state. This means that when you walk in to the polling place to vote you can choose either primary. It does not matter how you have voted in the past or if you like to identify with one party over the other. When you go in to vote the question the poll worker should ask you is “Which primary do you wish to vote in”? At that point the choice is yours. The poll worker should not encourage you in any way to choose one primary over the other. If you are looking for one specific candidate but are not sure which primary they are running in, then the poll worker should point to the sample ballots and let you choose the one you want.

If a candidate’s name is not on the left (multiple choice) side of the ballot, please look at the “unopposed” list of candidates on the other side of the ballot. This has answered several voter’s questions.

Under no circumstance should the poll worker tell you that you cannot vote in the primary you choose. If you get your ballot and you do not see the candidates that you think should be on there then bring this to the attention of the poll worker before confirming your ballot.

The Drew County Museum and Archives have recently been offered an opportunity to gain some much-needed income from the proceeds of a book written by Dr. James William Willis, who was inducted into the Drew Central Hall of Fame, last week.

Willis is a native of Drew County, who grew up in the White Hall Community south of Monticello and graduated from Drew Central. He was the son of Earl and Lela McKinstry Willis, local educators, who were both native Drew County residents. Willis’ father was a long-time superintendent of the Drew Central schools, and his mother was an English teacher at both Drew Central and Arkansas A & M College. Later, they moved to Little Rock to work with the state department of education before they retired in Monticello.

Mayor Allen Maxwell greeted Drew Central Elementary students in kindergarten thru second grade with an Arbor Day proclamation and discussion on the importance of trees to our environment and local economy. Chris Stuhlinger, of the U of A School of Forest Resources and the Monticello Tree Board, presented a white oak tree for planting at Drew Central. Hope Bragg discussed the importance of Earth Day. Special guest was Smokey Bear arranged by Hope Bragg and the AFC. The back drop of the event consisted of tree art designed by the students. Some of the art was given to the guests by the students.

Monticello recently received for the third time a Tree Growth Award to recognize its continued efforts in education and community tree projects. Also received was its fourth consecutive Tree City USA Award. Monticello is one of only about 50 towns in Arkansas to receive this particular award.

Currently the Monticello Tree Board has nine members. It is a volunteer organization dedicated to promoting the benefits of trees and the development of a sustainable community forest in Monticello through education, tree planting projects, and partnerships. Recent projects have been pruning and replenishing mulch for the trees they planted at the Sports Complex. Future projects will depend on grant opportunities and funding. Contributions can be made to the “Trees Are Us” account at Union Bank.
