MEMBERS OF Cabot City Beautiful honored Buddy Marks, center, for helping clean up parts of East Main Street and Honeysuckle Lane for more than a year. Irene Ernst, Sue Wagner, Betty Benedict and Nancy Mueller, recognized Marks' contributions by putting up a sign in front of the Graham Foster Home for the Elderly at 692 Honeysuckle Lane. Owned by Kent and Helen Schroeder, the home is the residence for seven people aging up to 87 years. As part of the Adopt-A-Spot program, Cabot City Beautiful asks people to help pick up litter and other trash at various places around town. For information, call Mueller at 843-9171 or call CCB at 941-2028. To report people littering or places full of litter, call the Arkansas Litter Hotline at (866) 811-1222.

Recognition programs are a good thing. Window signs, etc. I am still sorta shocked about walking on Barracks Row last Sunday, after the snow, and seeing that businesses were open did shovel the area in front of their stores, but they neglected to shovel a decent pathway through the sidewalks in front of adjoining buildings that were closed, like the Dentist's office. Wouldn't you want your customers to have an unimpeded walk?
