Conway Master Gardener receives local, state honors

My dad was in the Air Force, and we moved all around,” she said. She graduated from Northside High School in Warner Robbins, Georgia, and from Valdosta State College (now Valdosta State University) with a Bachelor of Science degree in criminal justice. She met her husband, Steve Stansel, while in Valdosta. He is retired from the U.S. Border Patrol and is now a corporate pilot for Koontz Electric Co. in Morrilton. The Stansels were married in 1978 and have one son, Jon-Stephen, 35. Jon-Stephen and his wife, Annie, are expecting a baby boy soon. They live in San Marcos, Texas, where he is the social-media coordinator at Texas State University. Debra Stansel grows a wide variety of plants and flowers in her backyard. When asked what her favorite flower is, she said, “I love all flowers, but maybe because we’re expecting our first grandchild, I’ll have to say the daffodil — the Sir Winston Churchill Daffodil. “Jon-Stephen and Annie are naming their son Winston, after Winston Churchill,” she said, smiling. “I have 193 different varieties of daffodils out there,” she said, pointing to her backyard. “I was recently going through a magazine and discovered the Sir Winston Churchill Daffodil. I’ve ordered 150 of those daffodils and will share some with Annie and Jon-Stephen.” Debra Stansel is also a beekeeper and is a charter member of the Lady Beekeepers of Arkansas. She does not maintain her beehives in her backyard, however, because the family now has a dog, a beagle named Luna. “Luna rules over the house and the yard,” Stansel said, laughing. “She helps me in the garden — she digs two holes, and I dig one. “Our yard has to be dog friendly. I don’t use any pesticides, nor do I plant anything that might harm the dog. I used to have the honeybees out there, but we moved them after we got Luna, who is really Jon-Stephen’s dog, but he couldn’t keep her when he moved to Texas, so we have her now. She goes with us to visit them every four or five weeks.” Stansel also enjoys making pottery and incorporates some of her creations into her flower gardens. She works on her ceramics at the Arkansas Arts Center in Little Rock. “I have a sensory garden,” she told visitors as they walked through her backyard. “I plant things like rosemary, lemon and thyme for fragrance. For texture, I have lamb’s ear. For sight, I have big elephant ears and the little ceramic gnomes that I have made. “I also have an azalea garden. They are all one color — fuchsia. I did that to honor Valdosta, [Georgia], which is called The Azalea City.” ... (Arkansas Online)

'America is weeping': Taking stock after 3 days of tragedy

It bewildered me.” As rancor grew, a handful of violent incidents against police arose across the country, including the shooting of an officer in Valdosta, Ga. Authorities said a man called 911 to report a break-in, then ambushed the responding officer. Some lashed out at the movement that was born of police shootings of blacks, and even at President Barack Obama, accusing him of fueling divisions among people of color and whites. Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh called Black Lives Matter a “terrorist movement.” while U.S. Rep. Roger Williams, a Republican from Texas, said the “spread of misinformation and constant instigation by prominent leaders, including our president, have contributed to the modern-day hostility we are witnessing between the police and those they serve.” Black Lives Matter organizers condemned the violence in Dallas, and police haven’t given any indication that the shooter had anything to do with the group. If the gravity of it all seems clear, the road from here does not. Does the assemblage of killings by police around the country and the resulting Black Lives Matter movement lead to more than candlelight vigils and calls for change? Does the anger that seemingly fueled the shootings in Dallas precipitate and lead to similar attacks on police akin to the Black Panther-style violence of long ago? Is this a turning point or simply a continuation? Jeanine Bell, an Indiana University professor who authored “Policing Hatred: Law Enforcement, Civil Rights, and Hate Crime,” said the week will not go down as a pivotal point unless it leads to substantive change by police that goes beyond simply diversifying forces and introducing anti-bias training. “Until there is a call for reorganization of policing practices, not just small changes, then it’s very hard to call this a turning point,” she said. The Pew Research Center, in a survey released last month, found more than 4 in 10 blacks doubt the nation will ever make changes necessary for racial equality with whites and that nearly two-thirds of black adults believe blacks are treated less fairly than whites in the workplace. Last week’s killings come in the midst of a divisive presidential election, amid fears of terrorism and on the heels of the latest mass shooting, which claimed 49 innocent lives in Orlando, Fla. The killings in Dallas happened just blocks from the book depository where another sniper took aim at President John F. Kennedy. It ended his life and a period of American history that became regarded as “Camelot,” and became a presage to the strife, unrest and other assassinations that followed. Two blocks from the shooting site, in Dallas’ historic West End district, Joe Groves owns Ellen’s Southern Kitchen & Bar, where dinner was underway when the gunfire sounded. Many of the officers who were assigned to Thursday night’s demonstration are friends of his, and as the violence erupted, he tapped out three words to two of his uniformed friends: “Love you man.” Though Groves is white, most of his 72 workers are black and Latino; his clientele is diverse as well. The tension that came to a head in the shootings wasn’t something he’d experienced personally, until now. On Friday, his restaurant was open again, but the atmosphere was noticeably different. He said people are speaking more quietly, and the enormity of it all seemed to weigh. He sees some good coming of it all, a connectedness between strangers that is rarely there, a willingness to make eye contact. And even though he thinks race relations may have reached their rock bottom, he sees a reason for hope there, too. “The good news about rock bottom,” he said, “is the only way out is up.” Recommended article from FiveFilters.org: Most Labou...

Valdosta State, Lowndes High grad dies after battling rare disease

VALDOSTA – A Valdosta State University and Lowndes High School graduate who battled a rare disease passed away on Wednesday. Michael Cowger, 22, suffered from Li-Fraumeni syndrome, an inherited genetic disorder that increases the chances of cancer development. In December 2014, doctors found a large, cancerous tumor in Cowger’s chest. He underwent chemotherapy, but the treatments eventually stopped working. Cowger died at home in his room with family surrounding him. While at VSU, Cowger maintained a 3.65 grade point average as he pursued Bachelor of Business Administration degrees in both economics and finance. He was honored during a special early graduation ceremony in West Hall in March. VSU Interim President Cecil P. Staton and his wife, Catherine, expressed their condolences through an emailed statement to faculty, staff and students. In lieu of flowers Michael’s family said that he would be delighted if you would befriend a stranger, reconnect with an old friend, smile at a bab... (ValdostaToday.com)
