NASHVILLE - Shelter In-surance Agent Greg Tate is retiring after working for almost 38 years in the insur-ance industry. Tate says he has seen several changes over the years and that in-surance is something that everyone needs. “I have thoroughly enjoyed it, I love working with people. Insur-ance is something you need if you want to purchase a house or car.”

Tate says he will continue working some at the office and that his son, Steve, will

be managing the business. “I am mainly doing it for Steve, he needs a certain number of years to build up his retire-ment. The longer I stay, the longer he would have to stay in the future. I don’t plan on going anywhere really.”

There are several insur-ance companies in town and Tate says it is a bit different working in a small town. “For the consumer, when they go to buy insurance-especially in Nashville, there’s really not a bad company to buy insurance from. Rates go up and down and for most people they purchase it from

NASHVILLE - Howard Memorial Hospital is pleased to announce that Dr. Luis Barandiaran has completed his Board Certiication with the American Board of Surgery for the fourth time. Dr. Barandiaran began practicing general surgery at Howard Memorial Hospital in 2002.

He completed his residency program at Cook County Hospital in Chicago, IL.

According to Tom Biester, Director of Psychometrics & Data Analysis, American Board of Surgery; 3,231 Diplomates have certiied/re-certiied four times, 22 have done so ive times to date.

The American Board of Surgery is an independent, nonproit organization founded in 1937 to provide board certi-ication to individu-als who have met a deined standard of education, training and knowledge in the ield of surgery.

Surgeons certiied by the ABS, known as diplomats, have completed at least ive years of residency training following medical school, met all ABS training re-quirements, and suc-cessfully completed the ABS examination process.

Once certiied, ABS diplomats must maintain their certii-cation by completing continuing educa-tion and assessment activities, including a written examination at 10-year intervals.

Since 1976 the ABS has issued time-limited certiicates that must be renewed every 10 years.

The ABS offers board certiication in surgery (general surgery), vascu-lar surgery, pediatric surgery, surgical critical care, complex general surgery on-cology, hand surgery, and hospice and pal-liative medicine.

“I am so pleased Dr. Barandiaran chooses to maintain his board certiica-tion and congratulate him for doing so a fourth time. Hav-ing general surgery available at Howard Memorial Hospital is a tremendous asset for the communities HMH serves. Between Luis Barandiaran, MD and John Hearn-sberger, MD, HMH has general surgery coverage available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As the CEO of HMH, I realize how fortunate we are to have both of them on staff and appreci-ate their dedication and commitment to the surgery program at HMH”, according to Debra Wright.

LUKE REEDERSPORTS REPORTER

NASHVILLE –For every player on the Nashville High School Scrapper Football Team the day of Dec. 12, 2015 will always be a day that will be special for them, but for two of the Scrappers winning the state title means just as much to them as it does to their fathers.

For sophomore free safety and corner Kailus Hughes and junior Marquell McFalls winning a state title was just following in the footsteps of their fathers who played for the Scrappers in 1996 when

Nashville went undefeated and won a state title.

Hughes’ father Cleotus Hughes was a big part of that winning effort in 1996. Cleotus was the running back and strong safety for the Scrap-pers during his playing time. The ‘96 team was a team that was playing for redemption for their loss in the state title game in the 1995 season, “I believe it was a one score game we lost so we were determined to get back there the next season. We had a lot of seniors returning and when we started playing we were beating up on some boys,” Cleotus explained. Cleotus

said the only close test they had the whole season was against Ashdown in the third game of the season, “We had one close game and it was the third game of the season against Ashdown. I believe we beat them 43-40 and then from there on we did not look back. We pretty much handled everyone from then to the state game in Little Rock,” Cleotus said. Making it to state for the second year in a row Cleotus and the Scrappers were prepared to leave with a title the second go around, “I thought this was our year. I knew the guys were prepared and the coach-

es did a good job of preparing us and getting us ready. We got the guys together and we knew it was our time to end the season 15-0.” Cleotus said.

Hughes like his father and the ‘96 team was confident at the start of the season, “We had a bunch of confidence going into the season with the new coaches and the new sys-tem, so we figured that since we were doing something dif-ferent we would have an edge on everyone else,” Hughes ex-plained. Like his father’s team before him the team this past season had some close calls, “Going into the first game and getting a one point win over

Hope was a wakeup call for us. After Hope we blew out pretty much everybody until we made it to Fountain Lake which was another one point game that came down to the final play.” But after the close calls Hughes and his team like his father’s team breezed through the rest of the sea-son and the postseason all the way to War Memorial. At the title game against Prairie Grove, Hughes and his team felt like they had an edge on Prairie Grove because of some helpful words from past champions, “The help from Greg Washington and Leslie Hendrix really helped

BY WAYMON COxCRATER OF DIAMONDS

Happy New Year from the Crater of Diamonds! It’s hard to believe that 2016 is here, and we’ve wrapped up another year of exciting diamond finds at the Crater. Last year, park staff regis-tered 467 diamonds, totaling 98.81 carats in weight. Ar-kansans found 220 diamonds last year, while visitors from 33 other states, the District of Columbia, and two for-eign countries found 247 diamonds at the park.

Two-hundred-eighty-sev-en white gems, 84 brown, and 96 yellow were registered during the year. About 15 percent of diamonds found last year were discovered on the surface of the park’s 37 and ½-acre diamond search area, including all four of the year’s largest finds.

Dean Filppula, an off-shore steward from Shreve-port, Louisiana, found the first two-carat-plus diamond of 2015. Filppula visited the park shortly after an early February rainstorm and found a 2.01-carat yellow dia-mond while surface search-ing in the West Drain of the search area. He named his sparkling, wedge-shaped gem the Merf Diamond, after his mother’s initials.

Two months later, Susie Clark, of Evening Shade in Sharp County, Arkansas,

topped off a multi-day visit to the Crater of Diamonds by finding a 3.69-carat white diamond on April 23. During her last day at the park, Clark prayed and asked God, “Are you going to bless me and let me find a diamond today?” Soon after, she picked up a sparkling gem near the South Washing Pavilion in the search area. Because she found it after saying a prayer on her last day of searching, Clark named her teardrop-shaped gem the Hallelujah Diamond.

A wet spring uncovered many more diamonds at the park, including one of the largest diamonds ever found at the park. On June 24, Bobbie Oskarson, of Long-mont, Colorado, was visit-ing the nearby town of Hot Springs with her boyfriend when they saw the Crater of Diamonds advertised on an Arkansas highway map and decided to check it out.

About 20 minutes after arriving, Oskarson was dig-ging through a small mound of dirt in the southwest cor-ner of the search area when she found an 8.52-carat white diamond.

At first Oskarson thought the crystal-clear gem might be quartz, due to its unusual, elongated shape.

However, she soon learned that her gem was actually the fifth-largest dia-mond found since the Crater

of Diamonds was estab-lished as an Arkansas State Park in 1972.

Oskarson named her diamond the Esperanza, after her niece’s name and the Spanish word for “hope.” In mid-September, the Esperanza was cut into a 147-facet triolette-shaped gem weighing 4.6 carats and later mounted in a platinum pendant setting to comple-ment its unique shape and luster.

On September 6 Peggy Eaton, of Carl Junction, Mis-souri, found the year’s third-largest diamond while visit-ing the park with her daugh-ter. After surface searching for about an hour, the retired counselor located a 2.29-car-at white diamond on top of the ground near the search area’s East Drain. Because the wedge-shaped gem fea-tured several chips on the surface resembling an open mouth and two eerie-looking eyes, Eaton good-naturedly named her gem the Goblin Diamond.

While this time of year always brings to mind many amazing and endearing sto-ries of past diamond finds, we are also looking forward to the exciting new discov-eries we’ll share with our visitors in 2016!

Most recent significant precipitation: December 28, 2015

Diamond finds for the week of December 27, 2015 (100 points=1 carat):

December 27 – Miranda Lutterbei, Flower Mound, TX, 12 pt. yellow; Adam Har-din, Murfreesboro AR, 8 pt. yellow, 10 pt. white

to suspect they had been drinking. Turner then noticed a very strong odor of unburned marijuana coming from inside the car.

Turner searched the car with the Sauls Jr. and Sauls III outside the car. Turner handcuffed Sauls Jr. during this search. As Turner’s search near the trunk area of the car (behind the back seats) Sauls III ran away from the traffic stop while still handcuffed. Turner caught Sauls III quickly and walked him back to Turner’s patrol car. Turner found

several trash bags along with duffle bags and backpacks in the trunk of Sauls’ car. Turner also found a large amount of cash in the front console of Sauls’ car ($8,250). Inside the bags in the trunk were approximately (62 pounds of pro-cessed marijuana, compacted into bricks or small bales).

Sauls Jr. and Sauls III were arrested and transported to jail. The Sheriff’s Office seized the car, driven by Sauls III, the cash, and the drugs.

The two were arrested for Possession of Controlled Substance (Marijuana) with the purpose to deliver; and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. No bond has been set at the time of this press release. The two are expected to have a court appearance in Howard County Circuit Court Wed. Jan. 6.

Former Governor and Senator, Dale L. Bumpers

Dale L. Bumpers, former Governor and Senator from Ar-kansas, passed away on January 1st at his home in Little Rock, surrounded by his family. He was born on August 12, 1925 in Charleston, Arkansas to W.R. and Lattie (Jones) Bumpers. He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Betty Flanagan Bumpers, his sons Brent Bumpers (Lea Ann), and Bill Bumpers (Heidi), his daughter Brooke Bumpers (Gordon Low), his grandchil-dren Braeden, Will and Linn Bumpers, Meg and Alex Bum-pers, and Callan and Emily Low, as well as numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents and by his brother, Carroll Bumpers, and his sister, Margaret Ware Kahliff.

After graduating from Charleston High School in 1943, he enrolled at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville for summer school, knowing that he would soon be drafted to serve in World War II. He served in the Marine Corps and was in Hawaii, about to be shipped out to the Paciic Theater when the atomic bombs were dropped and World War II end-ed. After discharge from the Marines as a staff sergeant, he returned to the University of Arkansas and, upon completion of his studies there, moved to Chicago and began law school at Northwestern University. Both parents were killed by a drunk driver in a car accident during his second year of law school. Soon thereafter he married his high school sweetheart, Betty Flanagan. They returned together to Chicago while he completed law school.

He and Betty returned to Charleston in 1951, at which time he purchased the Charleston Hardware and Furniture store from his deceased father’s partner and set up a law practice in the back ofice of the store. He later purchased a small build-ing across the street, where he practiced law until running for governor in 1970. In addition to practicing law for 20 years he was an aspiring entrepreneur during the ‘60’s, having built the only nursing home in town, in partnership with the lo-cal doctor, and also acquired a 360-acre cattle farm, where he raised registered angus cattle for about six years. He sold the hardware store and cattle shortly before running for governor in 1970.

He was active in numerous church and civic leadership po-sitions, and directed the choir at the First Methodist Church in Charleston. He continued to direct the choir on numerous occasions throughout his four years as governor. His proudest accomplishment prior to politics was his role in the peaceful integration of the Charleston schools in 1954, following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Brown v. Board of Edu-cation. The Charleston School District later received recog-nition as a National Commemorative Site as the irst school district in the former Confederate states to fully integrate.

His only political setback was a loss in 1962 for the state legislature. He lost to the county circuit clerk, who lived in the larger co-county seat of Ozark. He swore off elective politics, but later had a change of heart and decided to run for governor in 1970. In a crowded Democratic primary ield of eight can-didates, including former six-term governor, Orval E. Faubus, he joined the raced with only 1 percent name recognition. He and Betty and a host of friends and relatives hit the campaign trail with a vengeance. It was the waning age of retail poli-tics and short campaigns and with only 90 days from entering the race until the Democratic primary he ultimately garnered enough votes to barely edge out Speaker of the House Hayes C. McClerkin and Attorney General Joe Purcell to get into a runoff with Orval Faubus, who led the ticket by a wide mar-gin. Bumpers received virtually all the votes of the six other Democratic candidates and defeated Faubus handily in the runoff. He went on to defeat Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller in the general election and was sworn in as governor in January 1971. He was re-elected governor in 1972.

In 1974 he decided to run for the United States Senate. He defeated Sen. William Fulbright, and went on to serve in the United States Senate for 24 years, being re-elected in 1980, 1986 and 1992. He served on the Senate Appropriations Committee and the Energy and National Resources Commit-tee, and was chair of the Small Business Committee. He was a staunch defender of the Constitution and was particularly proud of having opposed numerous efforts to amend the Con-stitution.

He grew weary of the increasing incivility of politics and decided not to run for re-election in 1998. After leaving the Senate he briely served as the head of the Center for Defense Information and then joined the Washington law irm Arent Fox. Ironically, his most prominent speech in Congress came two months after retirement when he returned to the Senate Chamber to deliver the closing argument in President Bill Clinton’s Impeachment trial, a case he felt was most unjust. Many commentators credited that speech in support of the President as pivotal in the President’s case and just as many have called it perhaps the greatest political oration of the 20th century. His contribution to the full exoneration of President Clinton was perhaps his proudest moment in politics.

He and Betty had always maintained a residence in Ar-kansas, and 10 years after retirement from the Senate they moved back home to Little Rock where he continued to enjoy speaking throughout the state, lunching with old friends and spending time with his grandchildren, not to mention one of his favorite pastimes, grocery shopping.

The family wishes to thank his many friends and legions of former staff members who have continued to visit and provide support with a family-like love and devotion. We also are particularly appreciative of the devoted caregivers who have allowed him to remain at home during the past year, and Ar-kansas Hospice for helping to keep him comfortable in his i-nal days. In lieu of lowers, we ask that memorials be made to Every Child By Two at www.ECBT.org, or the Arkansas Na-ture Conservancy at 601 N. University Avenue, Little Rock, Arkansas 72205, or the charity of your choice.

A memorial service is scheduled for Sunday January 10, at 2:30 p.m. at First United Methodist Church in Little Rock. Online guestbook: www.rollerfuneralhomes.com/chenal.

Vilar talked about operating a small business and the differences in doing business in Brazil and the United States. He said that higher taxes and equipment costs make it difficult to own a business. The business owners are also responsible for employees and must pay all medical expenses. There are more than 200 million people in Brazil and the federal government limit how many businesses can operate in certain categories. Rotarian Glenn Lance presided over the meeting and thanked Jerry Fisk for helping to bring the program.

“More E. coli outbreaks are being investigated by the Centers for Disease Control after another wave of infec-tions are being linked to Chi-potle Mexican Grill; this after 53 consumers in nine states were sickened in November.”

According to Meat and Poultry e-magazine, the Denver based Chipotle has pledged to “become an in-dustry leader in food safety.”

Those of us in the busi-ness of making a living off the land, and providing protein to a hungry world should make themselves savvy of the anti-farming and ranch-

ing propaganda Chipotle extols.

“We are committed to vegetables grown in healthy soil, and pork from pigs allowed to freely root and roam outdoors.”

The chain does a good job telling us how they are committed to healthy soils; BUT,

Wonder how many acres have been covered in as-phalt by Chipotle?

They tell us all about their commitment to animal welfare; BUT,

Wonder how many of them know a sow from a

boar?I'll say this: if the latest

E. coli outbreaks linked to Chipotle are proven, they can forget about being a supporter of “sustainable agriculture.” You have to be in business to support “sus-tainable agriculture.”

And, if you detect a degree of satisfaction in the tone of this article, it is hard for me not to rejoice in the decline of a business that has con-tinually bad-mouthed cor-porate farming and ranching; all the while not knowing a sow from a boar.

Y’all know what? All this opinionating has flung a craving on me for a big sack of Cracklins from B's in downtown Mineral Springs, Arkansas - America!

BAd nEwS FOR ChiPOTLE A funny thing happened at the rodeo. I saw the power of prayer.

The National Finals Ro-deo (NFR) last December in Las Vegas came at the end of a tumultuous year of savage terrorism around the world and in our own front yard. The news media has been awash with violence. The deliverers of the death and chaos claim that their god, Mohammad, and their ‘bible’ the Quran, commands Mus-lims to “kill the infidels” and thus are justified in doing it.

Obviously, most Muslims don’t translate it that way, nor do the victims of what is now known as radical Islam. Yet the shootings, bomb-ings and murders continue unabated.

Americans are walkin’ circles on the sidewalk wait-ing for someone in our gov-ernment to give us marching orders, some direction to protect ourselves, someone willing to take a stand. Wash-ington DC is dizzy. Protesters would have the 1st Amend-ment selectively eliminated so only they can talk. And amidst all this, our leaders threaten us with politically correct “no, no’s” that turn us into liars, deceivers and

fools.What is missing in this

picture?Our government has for-

saken the strongest force that unites us…God. It is Christians the terrorists fear the most. Terrorists watch with glee as America contin-ues to desert the bedrock of our country. Christianity is the backbone of our Consti-tution, our laws, our moral compass and our daily lives. ISIS knows it and is sworn to wipe us out.

The NFR rodeo is a sport borne, supported and loved by primarily rural people. It is the “superbowl” of ro-deos. 77% of Americans are Christians, three out of four. The belief in God is obvious at the performances. The rodeo begins with a prayer. How many other sporting events from Little League to the World Series begin with a prayer? How many grade school days start with a prayer? How many po-litical speeches begin with a prayer?

Muslims pray publicly 5 times a day. Are Muslims forced to join Christians in prayer? No. This is a free country. But it is a Christian country. The final night, none other than the win-

ningest professional rodeo cowboy in the world, rein-ing All Around Champion Trevor Brazile, in front of 15,000 plus television, spoke for most of us during his acceptance speech. (I para-phrase) He gave thanks to God, said American was built on Christian faith, that we can be merciful and forgiving to others but that does not include forsaking our be-liefs just because it offends somebody.

In times of war our armed forces are visible. At the rodeo they are recognized for their service. 15,000 flags were passed out. When Lee Greenwood sings “God Bless the USA” the roof comes off the Thomas & Mack Arena…you can hear it as far away as Tulsa!

Iran and Saudi Arabia are described as Muslim countries. In our world the United States is described as a Christian country. In our world God and Country are inseparable…as are America and Christianity.

It is common in rodeo for a rider or roper to genuflect or point upward after his run…do a Tebow, I guess. We don’t mock him…we know who he is talkin’ to.

LITTLE ROCK – To date, Governor Asa Hutchinson has issued disaster declara-tions for 32 of Arkansas’s 75 counties (DR 15-42; DR 15-43; and DR 15-45) follow-ing severe storms over the weekend that caused heavy flooding and extensive dam-age throughout the state. As damage assessments con-tinue, additional counties may be added.

The Governor’s Office has compiled a list of ongoing efforts by the state in the storm aftermath. They are as follows:

- The Arkansas Department of Emergency Management is:

o …monitoring the situ-ation 24/7 from the State Emergency Operations Cen-ter.

o …holding daily con-

ference calls with county leadership.

o …staying in constant communication with the National Weather Service.

- National Guard units have been staged to assist with both sand bag operations and high water transportation.

- State Police are providing additional patrols in evacuated areas.

- The Department of Correction has provided inmates to assist with sand bag operations.

- The Forestry Depart-ment is actively assisting with debris cleanup.

- Arkansas Game and Fish is assisting with swift water rescues.

Governor Hutchinson issued the following state-ment:

“In conjunction with Gen-

eral Berry, Colonel Bryant and Director Maxwell, I am actively monitoring the situ-ation across the state and am pleased to report that agencies have been work-ing -- and continue to work -- diligently on all fronts fol-lowing the weekend’s severe weather.

“As cleanup efforts are underway, the safety of our citizens continues to be my chief concern. I encourage all Arkansans to use an abun-dance of caution even now after the storms have passed as flood waters continue to be an issue throughout much of the state. I par-ticularly want to express appreciation for the work of our first responders and the Department of Correction in their relief efforts.”

Governor Hutchinson provides updates on disaster declarations, State’s efforts in aftermath of storms

The Arkansas Natural Re-sources Commission (ANRC) and the Mine Creek Con-servation District wants to remind all owners of Poultry Feeding Operations (PFOs) that the annual registration for PFO’s begins January 1, 2016 in accordance with the Arkansas Poultry Feeding Operations Registration Act (Act 1060 of 2003). Registra-tion dates will run through March 31, 2016 and affect any PFO with 2,500 or more confined fowl.

The ANRC administers the registration program for the purpose of collecting information on the number and type of poultry, and practices of poultry feeding operations in the state. The program is designed to pre-

serve Arkansas’ economy and water quality through registration, training and re-search. The goal of this pro-gram is to reduce the over-abundance of phosphorus and nitrogen that threaten our water resources, while minimizing the impact on fertilizer users.

Each poultry producer in Howard County will register their operation through the Mine Creek

Conservation district. There will be an annual ten dollar registration fee per operation payable to that district.

Under Arkansas law, per-sons in the state of Arkansas who own or operate Poultry Feeding Operations where 2,500 or more Poultry are

housed or confined on any given day will be required to register annually with the Commission and pay a $10.00 fee for each op-eration. Failure to do so will result in the following penalties:

First Offense: Written notice of Non Compliance with the Arkansas Poultry Registration Act.

Second Offense: You may be fined up to fifty dol-lars ($50.00).

Third Offense: You may be fined up to five hundred dollars ($500.00).

For more information about PFO registration con-tact the Mine Creek Con-servation District at 101 S. Washington St. in Nashville 870-845-4121 Ext 3.

Tate says it has been a great ride and he has en-joyed working for Shelter Insurance.

us because they said something that really touched us all. They said we were made to be state champions and it was their (Prairie Grove) first go at it and that we had done it be-fore and I think that gave us an edge over them,” Hughes continued.

McFalls father Phalondo “Moon” Ware was a player that posed a threat on both sides of the ball for the ‘96 championship team play-ing linebacker, defensive tackle and offensive guard. Like his teammate Cleo-tus, Ware believed the team was prepared going into the championship game, “The coaches had us prepared and we were ready. For us the season actually started

with Ashdown and when we came back and beat them in that close game the rest of the season was smooth sail-ing. We all stayed focused academically and that was an important part of our success,” Ware said. Ware said the biggest part of that season was the brotherhood that was gained from it, “The brotherhood of that season, having all of our coaches and teachers like parents and we were treated like men. We were held responsible for our actions on and off the field and in the classroom.”

McFalls going into his championship season was mindful of the ones that wore the uniform before him and the people who watched the Scrappers every Friday, “We played for not only each other this last season but also for our peers and those that played before us,” McFalls stated. This past

season McFalls believed that teamwork was one of the most important elements that lead them to a title, “We stayed focused as a team and we did not try to pass the load off on one play but instead play as a team and share the load. We really stepped up during the Arka-delphia game and realized we had to stop playing one on one ball but instead play as a team.” Going into the state game McFalls called his father for help, “I called him (Ware) after watching a video about the past cham-pionship teams in class and said it is kind of crazy to know that I have a father who played 20 years ago and now I was following in his footsteps. A lot of kids do not get to do that or make it to that point where they can say they are in their father’s shoes. It meant a lot to him to have me call and say how

much I appreciated him and the others that played with him and helped us.”

But their fathers’ pres-ence on the football field did not start this past year but when Hughes and McFalls were kids.

For Cleotus watching his son and his peers grow up playing pee-wee football together he knew they were able to win a state title if they stayed together, “Watch-ing his class play pee-wee football and the athletes he had on his team was unbe-lievable. I knew there was always a possibility that if they stuck together and worked hard to get bigger and better as they got older they had a chance.” But it was surprising for Cleotus to have his son’s team win a title that quick, “I did not think it would happen this soon for his class, maybe when he was a senior but

watching the seniors play this year it was loaded with talent,” Cleotus said.

For Hughes, his dad al-ways had wise words to help him, “I never heard the end of it,” Hughes joked. He continued to explain that his dad pushed him to hit the weights hard and run so he could compete with his teammates who had a size advantage on him. Hughes was told that he had to work harder than the next guy by his dad because he smaller than other kids on the team so his dad said, “When you are smaller you have just that much to prove because you are not given the same opportunity as a lot of kids that may be the same speed as you but be a little bigger than you. You just have to work that much harder than the next guy.”

For Ware, he too felt that his son was able to win a

state title from the pee-wee days, “He played pee-wee football from around third grade and continued to play football until his ninth grade year when I held him out,” Ware explained. For McFalls dad academics were a bigger priority than football, “I held him out his ninth and tenth grade years and he wasn’t doing terrible in his academ-ics but I knew he could do better and I told him that if he could not get his grades better he wouldn’t play and watching his teammates go undefeated his ninth grade year and then doing good his tenth grade year, I think he got it together.”

For both players this year will never be forgotten. Not only for the state title that was won but for the oppor-tunity to be able to be like their fathers and even have the chance to do it again next year.

Each and every day, all over the World, people are exposed to germs.

Germs are tiny microorganisms that you cannot see without a microscope.

They are living things that can be found on almost any surface. There are

healthy germs that are actually good for our bodies, and there are bad

germs that can make us sick. Germs are so small that when we get them

in our bodies, we don’t even know it! They use our nutrients and energy

and can release toxins that make us sick. The four major types of germs

are bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. Bacteria are one-cell organisms

that love to live inside our bodies. When we get bad bacteria, such as

strep throat, we get sick. Bacterial infections can be treated with antibiot-

ics from your Doctor. They help kill the bacteria. Some bacteria are good

for you. There are healthy bacteria in our bodies, like the kind found in

yogurt. They help us break down our food. A virus is another type of germ

that causes diseases, such as the lu, chicken pox, or measles. Scientists can prevent us from getting many of these by giving us a vaccine, like a

lu shot. These shots hurt for a moment but can keep you healthy. Other viruses, like the common cold, do not have a vaccine for them and cannot

be cured once caught. Fungi are multi-cell organisms that love wet, warm

places like your gym socks. Many rashes are caused by a fungus. Proto-

zoa are one-cell organisms that live in water; often times they cause upset

stomachs. There are ways to prevent disease. The number one weapon

that we have against germs is proper hand washing! Wash your hands of-

ten or anytime they are dirty. Avoid touching your face, and let sick people

get well before visiting them. Take all the medicines that your Doctor gives

you, and cover your mouth when you cough. Making these tips a habit can

prevent you from becoming sick!

COUGH!

Did you know that

under a microscope

germs can actually

be quite colorful

and beautiful? Color the germs

below. Then, with

an adult’s

permission, use the

Internet to research

the way different

types of germs

look.

Proper handwashing is the BEST technique to prevent the

spread of disease. To wash hands properly use warm water

and soap; lather your hands up; and wash all the parts shown

below, including part of your arms. (Tip: It should take you

the entire time it takes to sing “Happy Birthday” to wash your

hands.) Rinse them thoroughly and dry with a paper towel.

Use the towel to turn off the sink and to open the bathroom

door. Now you have clean hands! Practice your technique at

the sink.
