Back Then
by Clydene Overbey
We slept outside on star-
lit, summer nights when the
house was unbearable, no air
conditioning back then, and
it was definitely over 100 de-
grees most summer days. No
doubt the crickets, spiders,
and no telling what else,
crawled over us all night ly-
ing on an old quilt spread out.
Of course, my brother and I,
and the cousins giggled til
much later than our regular
bedtimes since we were out of
earshot from the folks.
The sun was blistering hot
by day, and we ran half naked
to stay cool, so you can only
imagine the sunburns wed
get. Norman even had a back
covered with blisters once. A
great game wed play was to
see who could peel the long-
est strip of fried skin off each
others back without tearing
it. We had some doozies. No
sunscreen in those days and
no lying out in the sun to get
a suntan. Heck, we sure didnt
lie down to get a tan because
we ran through it daily.
We rode our bikes for miles
collecting beer and pop
bottles to trade for candy at
Hall Parks or Keys store.
I have no idea why I can
still name every kid we ran
with back then, every neigh-
bor in a five-mile radius, and
every store plus who owned
it, and who worked at the post
office or in our little one-horse
town, yet I daily walk into a
room and have no idea why I
went there.
And dont even ask where
Ive hidden all my treasures
so Ill be sure to remember
right where they are when I
need them.
The mind is a tricky thing
when short-term memory goes
awry, but I think God had a
plan to keep our old bodies
well exercised running around
looking for our stuff, and re-
tracing our steps to remember
why we went into that room!
I loved the honest, peace-
ful, and respectful life we lived
when I was growing up. I wish
all kids could have lived that
life. No one locked their house
or car, we feared no molesta-
tion, (at least where I grew up)
because everyone knew
thered be a lynching if they
were ever caught doing harm
of any sort to a child. Im not
so naive as to think children
were never molested or
abused, but sadly, people
stayed out of other peoples
personal business back then,
even the cops.
I always compare us to
wild, little Indians as kids be-
cause we really had the run of
our valley each and every day.
Thats not to say, we didnt
have rules and chores to do,
but oh, the freedom that will
never be again!
I miss bare feet running
through the garden and feel-
ing that fresh plowed dirt in
my toenails as it squished up
through my toes, or playing
in the yard where the chick-
ens were with the chicken
poop squishing. I miss lying
down each night knowing I
was protected whether in my
bed or outside under the ce-
dar tree.
I miss running those old
dirt roads and wading the
ditches. Most of all I miss my
family and the way it was back
then.
John 21:25 - And there are
also many other things which
Jesus did, the which, if they
should be written every one,
I suppose that even the world
itself could not contain the
books that should be written.
Amen.
VISIT WITH BOOZMAN Kenneth, Martheda, and

Lake Fort Smith
State Park presents
Star Gazing
Lake Fort Smith State Park,
15458 Shepherd Springs
Road, in conjunction with the
Arkansas Oklahoma Astro-
nomical Society, will present
Star Gazing at the Lake Fort
Smith State Park Marina park-
ing lot on Saturday, June 28.
Astronomical Society
members will provide tele-
scopes, binoculars, and other
viewing devices and explain
their usage to members of the
public. This is a great family-
friendly event, said Joe
Hamilton, park interpreter.
Our park is away from the
light pollution of the city and
we turn out the lights in the
marina. This creates an excel-
lent viewing opportunity.
The event is free of charge
and is scheduled to run from
8 until 11 p.m. Participants are
encouraged to bring lawn
chairs and blankets.
P.E.A.C.E. is a 501(c)(3)
non-profit organization based
in Ozark. Our goal is to pro-
mote the ethical care of pets
with an emphasis on spaying
and neutering to address the
problem of unwanted cats and
dogs in Franklin County.
Present at this months
meeting were Kevin and
Pamela Doyle, Pat Gilbert, Jan
Hudspeth and JoAnn Nixon.
PEACE would like to thank
the Franklins for their dona-
tion and those who donated
items to our June yard sale.
We made $451 which will all
go towards our next spay and
neuter clinic in the fall.
Something really baffles
me and I want to share it with
you. How does Charleston
maintain a dog shelter which
is solely funded by donations
and operated by volunteers,
and here in Ozark we cant get
anyone to attend PEACES
once a month one-half to hour
long meeting? It would really
be nice to have some volun-
teers help us with our fund-
raising projects. Have you
ever stopped to consider if we
spayed and neutered our pets
there would not be a need for
shelters. Please just spare one
hour of your time once a month
so we can reduce the number
of cats and dogs euthanized
in our town.
PEACE has now helped to
spay or neuter over 368 cats
and dogs.
Remember to save your
aluminum cans and bring them
to the P.E.A.C.E. trailer located
behind Rivertowne BBQ. Its
one of our bigger money mak-
ers.
Dont forget to check out
the collars and leashes for
sale at Moon Vet Clinic, Ozark
Animal Hospital and River-
towne BBQ. We also make
custom size/color combina-
tions at no extra charge call
667-3363 or 508-7784.
Come join us the third
Monday of the month. The
next meeting is July 21 at 6
p.m. at Charlies Meeting
Place, adjoins Rivertowne
BBQ. We could sure use some
help!
All donations are greatly
appreciated and can be sent
to: P.E.A.C.E., P.O. Box 1152,
Ozark, AR 72949.
PEACES TIPS OF THE
MONTH: July we celebrate
Independence Day with fire-
works, and as you know fire-
works scare most animals, so
keep your pets somewhere
safe when you and your
neighbors celebrate. Its
warming up fast so make sure
your pets have plenty of wa-
ter and shelter from the hot
sun. Dont forget to treat your
pets and the surrounding habi-
tat for fleas and ticks.
Thank you to all who do-
nate to our organization. Its
greatly appreciated! All pro-
ceeds go to P.E.A.C.E. to help
us help you spay and neuter
your pets.

--Sonya Eveld,
City Clerk
Canadian Fashion Designer
for Wheelchair Users
For Izzy Camilleri, the jour-
ney to becoming a top fash-
ion designer for people with
disabilities began after be-
friending Barbara Turnbull,
also of Toronto, Canada, who
was a wheelchair-using quad-
riplegic.
When I met Barb 10 years
ago, she had been injured 20
years, said 49-year-old
Camilleri in a telephone inter-
view. By then, I had made a
strong name for myself in the
Canadian fashion industry.
Barb asked the fashion editor
of a newspaper who the edi-
tor would recommend to make
a cape for her. Today, Barb is
a reporter with the Toronto
Star.
Camilleri had never de-
signed clothing for a wheel-
chair user or quadriplegic, and
did not realize their clothing
needed special alterations and
features.
She said, (meeting Barb)
was an eye-opening experi-
ence that went beyond cloth-
ing. When we met, I noticed
she was static in her chair and
could only move her neck and
head. After our meeting, I had
all these questions in my
head. How did she shower?
How did she put food in her
mouth? How did she use the
bathroom? The more I
thought about her experience,
the more humbling it was for
me.
Camilleri went on to design
and make more clothing for
Turnbull before beginning to
realize a big void existed in
the marketplace for fashion-
able and comfortable clothing
for wheelchair-using profes-
sionals and younger people.
She researched what was
available and learned nearly
all clothing made for people
with disabilities was for eld-
erly people. She also learned
84 percent of Canadians with
spinal cord injury were be-
tween ages 18 and 34.
She began IZ Adaptive in
2009, and today through an
online store has male and fe-
male clients in Australia, the
UK, and Europe, besides
North America. The company
has a nearly 100-item custom
product line, including pants,
shirts, jackets, coats, skirts,
sweaters, and dresses.
She said, Normally,
people in a wheelchair have a
hard time wearing a coat or
anything below the waist. For
instance, when you sit in a
chair, a zipper jacket will
buckle and get shorter. And
with a coat, if you cant stand
up to put it on, you will get
this big puddle of fabric
around your waist. With our
coats and pants, we accom-
modate a seated frame. You
can put them on while sitting
and still have the length, but
there is no bulk.
Currently, the Royal
Ontario Museum has an IZ
Adaptive clothing exhibit.
