The University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton is inviting everyone in the community to come and enjoy the 2010 UACCM Madrigal Feast. Participants will feel as though they have been transported back in time to 16th century England as they listen to musical performances by the UACCM Concert Choir and enjoy a giant feast fit for the kings of old. It will undoubtedly be an exciting night of great food, live music, and renaissance themed entertainment. Tickets are already available for the evenings of December 4, 10, and 11 at 6:00 pm. The event will be held at the UACCM Leadership Development Institute which is located at 115 East Broadway in downtown Morrilton.
The UACCM community was honored to give the Envirothon access to classrooms for written tests and soil experiments, the use of the Fine Arts Auditorium for the oral presentations and award ceremonies, and even the trees around campus for the students to use for the forestry category. “UACCM recognizes the importance of environmental education and is proud to play host to such an intelligent, creative group of students who are so concerned about the environment,” said David Plummer, UACCM Coordinator for Information and Public Relations.
All of the teams who competed did an amazing job, but at the end of the day, only one team could be declared the winner. This year, Mills High School Team A (Megan O’Connell, Brian Stallard, Tony Blagg, Karina Reigh, and Kristen O’Connell and their coach Jeremy Jenkins) nearly swept the competition in every category to give them the overall victory. The teams were competing to help them qualify for the International Canon Envirothon which will be held in Canada this year. The mission of the Canon Envirothon is to develop knowledgeable, skilled, and dedicated citizens who have an understanding of natural resources and are willing and prepared to work towards achieving and maintaining a balance between the quality of life and the quality of the environment.
The safe room is being constructed to provide emergency shelter for the children of the Earle Love Child Care Center as well as other students and faculty within a five minute radius around the building from the devastating impact of a tornado. Most people know that Arkansas is a part of “Tornado Alley,” which is the name given to a large section of the country that has an extremely high risk of tornado activity. What people may not know is that Arkansas has more tornadoes that are a size F3 or higher than all but three other states. F3 tornadoes have winds of more than 160 MPH which are strong enough to tear the roofs off houses or even derail a train.
