Lincoln Riding Club & Rodeo Community Happenings

of a pattern laid out by the poles. “It shows the skills of the riders as they get the horses to turn really quickly,” Sherry said. “They are all designed to show the connection between the horse and the rider. They also have an event where they ride down to the other ag and ride back. The participants range from two or three years old, up to seventy! Everyone is welcome to participate. And perhaps the best part of these events is you don’t always have to own a horse to participate! Most everybody in the riding club is really good about letting people ride their horses,” Sherry said. “There was an older gentleman in the club when my kids were growing up who knew a lot of the kids in the community, wanted to ride, but didn’t have their own horse. So, he would bring his horses to the arena and let those kids ride in the events. He would even run alongside the horse if a child didn’t know how to guide the horse through the event.” Besides being a wonderful resource for the community, the main event that the Lincoln Riding Club hosts is the Annual Lincoln Rodeo. This year the rodeo is celebrating its 72nd year. The much-anticipated riding competition spans four nights and three days in August. It kicks off with a street dance on the Wednesday night before the three-day rodeo event. The rodeo parade is also a favorite of Lincoln residents that the whole town comes out for. “Everyone in Lincoln can participate by riding their horses or antique cars,” Sherry said. “It is truly a com munity celebration.” As for the rodeo itself, it is a professional event that draws riding fans from all over Northwest Arkansas and Northeast Oklahoma. “We get sponsors to help pay the cowboys and cowgirls who partic ipate,” Sherry explained. “We have six or seven different events for professionals to compete in. We have lots of vendors set up outside, selling mostly homemade goods along with the concession stand.” Along with the Lincoln Riding Club, the event is co-sanctioned by the Arkansas Cowboy Rodeo Association (ACRA) and the International Professional Rodeo Association (IPRA). “The cowboys and cowgirls come from all over the county to participate,” Sherry said. “They gather points throughout the year to add to their year- nals with our two sanctioning organizations.” Sherry believes that the riding club provides a real service to the community. “I think it’s important that children and adults alike have a connection to animals,” she said. “I think they can gain a lot of wisdom and character building by being with animals. You can see the connection between the horses and the kids.”

The Lincoln Riding Club brings horses and people together. It’s made up of volunteers who love riding and providing opportuni ties for the people of Lincoln and Northwest Arkansas to ride, play and connect with animals. “I was originally involved as a parent,” said Sherry Barnard Smith, Secretary of the Lincoln Riding Club. “For over ten years, when our kids were growing up, we were very active in the club. Then we took a break, and now, ten years later, I am active again as a grandparent.” The club offers a facility for members to ride in a profes sional arena and work with their horses. They

also hold events that they call Play Days. These will start up in May and take place about twice a month going forward. “Children and adults alike can

come out and participate in our Play Day events,” Sherry said. “It’s all for fun, and at the end of the year we hold an awards ceremony where we give out ribbons and present a sad dle to the high point winner of the year. It gives an opportunity for the amateurs to participate in events.” These Play Day events held throughout the year include bar rel racing and pole racing, where the riders have to weave in and out

Annual Happenings Join The Fun

for people in the area and surrounding states. The Apple Festival was founded after Lincoln residents had the idea to host an annual event to attract visitors to their friendly, beautiful community. The Arkansas Apple Festival is a tribute to Lincoln’s apple industry history, combining down home southern goodness and a glimpse of what life was like in the Apple Capital of Arkansas in years gone by. rst grade, and I’ve looked forward to the festival every year,” said Rhonda Hulse, one of two directors of the festival. “I expect a lot of people will be making rst weekend in October.” Friday traditionally kicks off the three-day celebration that includes more than 80 booths of craft artisans, great food and fun. On Saturday there’s a parade, followed by the iconic apple core throwing contest. There will be music Saturday and Sunday and, of course, plenty of apples, fresh from the harvest. Hulse estimates they will give away more than 100 bushels of free samples, as well as cider samples. Whether you come to sample the free apple slices, fair and food-truck goodies or buy your favorite jelly, you won’t want to miss Lincoln’s Apple Festival this fall. For more information about the Apple Festival, check out the Facebook page www.facebook.com/ARAppleFestival .

Cane Hill Harvest Festival The Cane Hill Festival held in mid-September each year continues to draw crowds that enjoy a glance back in history. The festival, which began as a means to support and maintain the Cane Hill College building and campus, has grown to

two days of enjoyment for young and old in the West Washington County area. The Cane Hill Harvest Festival, produced by volunteers in the community and those who were one-time students in the Cane Hill public school, draws a picture of life in the 1800s when everything was produced at home by family members. Soap was made by the women of the household from lye, lard and water. Even the lye had to be home produced. Long hours of stirring with a wooden paddle nally produced soap for the family. Apple butter was a delicacy that also required long hours of slow cooking. But probably the most labor intensive was the production of sorghum molasses. All three processes will be on demonstration during the two-day festival. The products will be for sale in the country store in the college building. Also for sale will be post cards and Cane Hill History Booklets. The two-day trip into history is fun for those taking part in the demonstrations but it is also a sobering thought to realize that in the 1800s it was a deadly serious business for a family to produce the necessities of life. Keeping with the spirit of the era, the participants will all wear period dress. The Cane Hill Museum, on the second oor of the college building, will be open both days. It features a good deal of memorabilia including clothing and documents dating from 1828.

Lincoln Apple Festival The history of Lincoln dates all the way back to the 1800s and has undergone several name changes throughout its lifespan, including Starr Hill, Blackjack nally settling on Lincoln in 1885. But one thing has remained constant through all the name changes and remains true today: Lincoln is all about apples! Its reputation for apple production has earned it the moniker of Apple Capital of Arkansas. The Arkansas Black Apple and the Collins Red Apple were both developed in the verdant apple orchards of Lincoln. The popular Apple Festival, which debuted in 1975, is still a huge draw every fall

Focused On Progress PGTELCO History

ce

PGTELCO is family-owned and operated and has been since its incorporation in 1906. Since its inception, PGTELCO has always been committed to making the satisfaction of its customers its top priority. It began in 1888 when Dr. E.G. McCormick strung telephone lines rst the telephone line was a novelty, but soon Dr. McCormick discovered that there was a big demand for telephone service. Later that year, Dr. McCormick, with the help of Dr. Gladson and Jim McIlroy, established a line that ran from Fayetteville to Prairie Grove. This telephone line was reportedly one of the longest in the state of Arkansas at the time. In 1906 Dr. McCormick and M.M. Collier began the Prairie Grove Telephone Company and bought a switchboard to handle all of the calls. The company has grown steadily ever since, keeping up with the growth of West Washington County.

ce was located in a small room on the second oor of a main street building where a bundle of telephone wires ce was moved to its present location on Mock Street in Prairie Grove. rst as a switchboard operator then became General Manager and later President of the Prairie Grove Telephone Company. He operated the Telephone Company until his death in 1958. The company continued to grow, but during the Depression the growth began to decline when many of the customers returned their magneto (crank-style wall phones). Mr. Parks never disconnected a phone for non-payment, even after the Depression years had ended. Phone bills were often paid with eggs, vegetables, and an occasional cow.

Focused On Progress PGTELCO History

continued from previous page

During World War II, telephone service remained limited to a few hundred customers as people concentrated on the important issues of rationing and supporting their families. Yet after the war, demand for service began to increase. At this time, Jim Parks’ twin sons, Barry and Donald, joined the Telephone Company. They installed telephones, dug postholes, and strung wire. Jim Parks’ youngest son, Joe, also worked for the Telephone Company from 1947 to ce. rst major problems the Telephone Company encountered was an ice storm in January 1949. After three days of freezing rain, sleet, and snow, practically all the pole lines in the company’s service area were on the ground. And of the 2,000 telephones in service, only about 85 were still working once the storm was over. There were only three employees who worked outside the plant. nd. Customers also helped by working for nothing, and some even nance repairs. It took six weeks to bring everything back to working order. In the late 1960s plans were made to upgrade all multiple-party lines to single-line service. This project was completed in 1977, making rst Telephone Company in the state to provide all private lines to their customers in a multi-exchange company. In 1979, the Prairie Grove Telephone Company converted its central ce switch to the Northern Telecom DMS-10 digital equipment. This allowed customers the convenience of touch-tone and the ts of call-waiting, call forwarding, three-way calling, etc.

Beginning in 1958, Barry Parks served as President of the company, and Donald Parks served as the Secretary and General Manager. Donald Parks’ son, David, began working for the company in 1980.

Troubleshooting Repair Service

TO CONTACT OUR REPAIR SERVICE 24 HOURS A DAY, CALL 846-4161 OR 611.

We do everything possible to make sure your phone service remains x any problems that do occur as quickly as possible. We make repairs to the phone lines outside your home or busi ness at no charge to you. Unless you have our Service Plus Maintenance Plan , any repairs to your inside phone lines require an additional charge. (See the Service Plus Maintenance Plan information on this page.) Because some of your repair assistance requires a fee, we work with you to help determine the source of the problem, whenever possible. Listed below are a few things to do before you call our repair service. • Look for symptoms on your telephone set(s) like cracked plastic housing or broken or frayed cord. • If you have just one phone, unplug it and plug in a borrowed phone. If the borrowed one works, the problem is in the phone set and not the phone line. • If you have more than one phone, make sure each phone’s receiver is on the hook. If none of them are off the hook, unplug every phone. Then plug each phone back into any wall jack one at a time, checking each phone for a dial tone as you go. The telephone set that causes the line to go dead is the one needing repair. • If your phone or phones appear to be working, take a working phone to your telephone network interface box. This box is usually located on the outside wall of your home or business. It is located where our outside lines and your inside telephone wiring connect, or “interface.” Open the network interface box and locate the “test jack” inside. Remove the modular plug from the test jack and insert the phone jack from your phone. If the same problem occurs when you plug your phone into the test jack, the problem is in our outside telephone lines. Call our Repair Service. The number is 846-4161 . If the problem disappears when you use the test jack, the problem is in your inside telephone wiring. If You Need To Call Our Repair Service Please be prepared to answer these questions when you call: 1. What is the telephone number of the line in trouble? 2. Does the problem occur on all your phones? 3. Do you have a dial tone? 4. Is noise the problem on the line? 5. Can you call out? 6. Can you receive calls? 7. How often does the problem occur? 8. Is the problem on local and/or long distance calls? 9. What number can we call to reach you during the repair?

Once you call our repair service, we will see to it that your repairs are made as quickly as possible. Some will be made at no charge to you. Other repairs may require a fee, depending upon the source of the trouble. If The Trouble Is In Your Telephone Set Fees will apply if you ask us to make a repair visit and the trouble is found in your telephone set(s) or other phone equipment and you do not have our Service Plus Maintenance Plan . Our Service Plus Maintenance Plan does not cover the repair of your telephone set(s) or equipment, they should be made by the manufacturer or any other source you choose. If you have our Service Plus Maintenance Plan , we will provide you with a free loaner phone for up to 30 days while yours is being repaired or replaced. For your convenience, we will also give you the opportunity to lease or purchase this phone. If The Trouble Is In Your Inside Wiring Fees will apply if you ask us to make a repair visit and the trouble is found in the telephone wiring inside your home or place of business. To repair the damage, your options are to hire us, do it yourself, or seek outside assistance. If you already have our Service Plus Maintenance Plan , we can repair the inside wiring and jacks at no extra cost. Certain restrictions may apply.

Call Before You Dig 811 Brings Utility Locators To You

CALL BEFORE YOU DIG Everyone gets excited when warm weather rolls around, and many homeowners are quick to start new landscaping projects. It’s a great time to plant trees and shrubs, install water features or decks, tend ower and vegetable gardens, and put new fences up to enclose your yard. If you’re planning an outdoor project, remember: before you do rst. It’s critical to know the location of all your underground utility lines. Why 811? The national 811 hotline was launched in 2005 with support from the Common Ground Alliance (CGA), which is a coalition of excavators, road builders, utility and emergency service providers, and others. Their goal is to help prevent damage to America’s extensive underground infrastructure, thereby reducing related injuries and deaths. 811 was designated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to give quick, easy access to line location services. With just a single number to remember, there’s no excuse not to call. How It Works When you or your contractor calls 811, the call will be routed to your local “one call” center. Your local Operator will ask about the digging location, and then route your information to the appropriate utility companies.

Each company – which may include gas, electric, cable TV, water and other providers – will then send representatives to your location ags that can be easily removed when your project is complete. It’s that easy! Just remember to call at least two days before you plan to do your digging. What If I Don’t Call? Calling before you dig isn’t just a suggestion – it’s the law. When you dig without knowing the location of your utility lines, you risk injuring yourself and others, or doing damage to critical power lines. Such damage can result in service outages for your entire neighborhood, nes and repair costs for you. Once Isn’t Always Enough Over time, erosion, root growth and other factors can affect the depth and location of utility lines, so be sure to call before any digging project, even if you’ve had your lines marked previously. After all, when it comes to digging, it’s better to be safe than sorry!
