Final Presentation Celebrations of Lights At SAU

Magnolia (Arkansas) I chose my final presentation on the celebration of Lights at SAU. The celebrations of lights was this past Thursday right off campus on November 30, 2017.

These two pictures right here is before the parade started. I was standing outside at a friends house as seen in the photo.

This picture below is the start of the parade. As we can tell because the parade is being escorted by the Magnolia Police.
















Here is the first parade float approaching and as we see some kids carrying the American Flag.

Next we see members of the SAU bad marching down Jackson Street enjoying the parade.

Next is a big Santa Float with young adults throwing out candy canes.

The next photo is a picture of a sleigh being driven by two young people.

Here is a snowman float that just simply looked cool.

Here is my high school Columbia Christian School coming down Jackson Street handing out candy canes.

Here is Santa on the fire truck and the crowd goes wild. It was a very nice crowd for the parade.









Everyone loves Santa Claus.

And the parade is over but it was a good one for the year. I hope everyone has a great and blessed Merry Christmas and May God Bless you and your Family always. Make a difference for Christ today!

#19 Classmate Blog Critique

Classmate Blog Critique

For the classmate blog critique, I decided to take a look at Shaunacie blog and talk about what I like about hers.

First, I like the font style she uses in her blog. It is very easy to read and it is clear. She does a good job spacing in her blog so the words are not jammed together. I think this is a very well written as seen in Assignment 10 of her blog.

Second, I like the colorful background she uses to create her blog. The photo in her background makes her blog standout and it is eye catching. I also like the way she formats her blogs it is very nice and clean.

Third, I like the creative photos in her blog and how she puts them in her stories. I also like the interactive links in her blogs. For example, If I did not understand something in the blog. We can just simply click the link and it will explain the rest.

Finally, I think Shaunacie did a very nice job on her blog and needs to keep up the great work. I also want to say I think everyone in the class is doing a great job on their blogs and we all need to finish strong in the class and be proud of the work we are all accomplishing.

#18 News App Critique

BBC News App

BBC news in my opinion is one of the best news app out there. For example, the app is easy to access and user friendly. I like the fact that this app is fast and provides news updates on the dot.

Some top stories on the app are North Korea 'fires new ballistic Missle. Zimbabwe amnesty for cash stashed abroad and Harry and Meghan reveal wedding plans.

I like to use this app just to see the news going around the world instead of going to the google browser and search world news. This app has really good quality.

For instance, it is easy to find information on the app and the video quality is amazing. There is no lag in the app which I like. Also If I want to find news in the US or China there it is.

Also there is a live video feed on the app which is great because it is watching T.V. on a cell phone or laptop. 

BBC news is great and it is my personal news app and I would recommend people to download and use it.

Union County Now Requires Employee Background Checks

EL DORADO, (Arkansas) Several areas in Arkansas have seen cases of embezzlement in the past few years, prompting Union County Judge Mike Loftin to question if he was doing enough to protect local residents.

Loftin said the reason the Quorum Court passed a new ordinance requiring background checks for all county employees was to ensure the county is following correct standards. On Sept. 21, Ordinance 1457 was passed at the recommendation of attorneys Burt Newell and Gary Burbank, who suggested it as a starting point to ensure the county is protected if something does happen.

In my opinion this is a good idea and law for Union County because it keeps everyone safe and sound. It is always good knowing if the people working for your company our good people and are not in trouble with the law.

Therefore, I feel like every county in every state should apply this law because it will keep everyone safer and it will help business out. Good people will grow a business that I know.

Rodney Cherry 51, of Magnolia (Arkansas) still missing, Search called off

Magnolia (Arkansas) The formal search has ended for Rodney Cherry, 51, who has been missing from his home northeast of Magnolia since Saturday.

The Columbia County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday that ground searches have ceased until further information is obtained about his possible whereabouts.

Cherry was last seen about 4 p.m. Saturday wearing camouflage pants, a gray-colored shirt, and an orange vest over a backpack. He walked away from his home on County Road 511 in the Greers Chapel community off Dudney Road – County Road 47.

The searching agencies include the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office, Magnolia Police Department, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, Arkansas State Police, and the Wade Correctional Center’s canine team from Homer, LA.

Many civilians also took part in the search, and more are expected to continue to look for Cherry in the coming days.

A drone and a State Police helicopter were also used during times in the active search.

In my opinion this man had something go terribly wrong in his life and is trying to get out of the country due to legal issues. I do not think the search should be called off. I think they still need to look for him across the states.

I understand there are no more leads at this time but still should be in constant search for him. If I was in the officers shoes. I would continue to work hard and pray for more leads.

Finally, I would contact every state and send them a picture of this man. I also would contact every major airport with flights leaving the US.

People with information about Cherry’s whereabouts are asked to call 911 immediately.
