Arkansas Receives Land For New State Veterans Cemetery
LITTLE ROCK -- Governor Mike Beebe today received the deed for 99 acres of land in Cross County at Birdeye that will become the fifth veterans' cemetery in Arkansas, and the second operated by the State.
This cemetery has long been needed for our veterans in East Arkansas,
Beebe said. This will make it easier for families and friends to pay their respects when we bestow the final honor upon those who have served our country.
We strive not just to provide services to our veterans, but to do so in the most convenient way possible for them, Arkansas Department of Veterans Affairs Director David Fletcher said. East Arkansas needs this facility, especially with the advancing age of our vets.
The land was sold to the State by the family of Maurice Smith, a veteran and former director of the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department, for $150,000. The cemetery will be established and operated by the State, but primary funding, including more than five-million dollars in construction costs, will still come from the federal government. The effort to obtain that funding as quickly as possible will be led by U.S. Representative Marion Berry and Arkansas's congressional delegation.
The Arkansas Department of Veterans Affairs will oversee a committee to select the design for the new cemetery and the United States Veterans Administration will have final approval. Depending on when federal funding is approved, the East Arkansas cemetery is anticipated to open in 2011. The site is expected to accommodate between 125 and 150 years of burials.
Currently, there are national veterans' cemeteries in Little Rock, Fort Smith and Fayetteville and a state veterans' cemetery in North Little Rock. Little Rock National Cemetery is full and no longer accepts burials.

Consumer credit allows consumers to get an advance or loan to spend money on products or services for family, household or personal uses repaid at a specified future date. Consumer credit includes purchases obtained with credit cards, lines of credit and some loans. The main advantage of consumer credit is that consumers can purchase goods and services and pay for them later. Consumers can purchase items they need when their funds are low. Consumer credit offers a backup form of payment and one monthly payment. Better Qualified offers the perfect credit management of customer’s credit score. It can determine their interest rates, insurance premiums and dream job.
All Video Credits are listed here U.S. News ranked the city as the third best place to live and one of the best places to retire. Based in nearby Bentonville, the Walmart corporation has contributed to Fayetteville's economy. The city hosts the Wal-Mart Shareholders Meetings each year at the Bud Walton Arena. Forbes magazine ranked the Fayetteville–Springdale–Rogers area as the 2nd-best area in the United States for recovery from the recession initiated by the late-2000s financial crisis. Reasons cited were the presence of Walmart (one of the top Fortune 500 corporations in the area) as well as low unemployment (5.0%) compared to national averages. Almost all Americans come across the problem of bad credit score. Steve, the author of the video, gives several useful suggestions to resolve this problem. First of all, one should look at the turning factors when it comes to scoring his credit. Payment history is the most important one. 35% of FICO score is based on payment history, so if you pay on time, your score will never be dropped on hundred points. Next, one should pay attention on the Amounts Owed, which takes 30% of FICO score. The rule №1 – don't keep 'max out credit cards'. If it happens, try to pay these accounts down. If you pay your accounts down to 20% or lower, then you will see a quick bust in your credit score within the next month.The length of the credit history is also important. The author suggests to think twice before closing your old accounts. Your old accounts are usually the most valuable ones. Better Qualified, LLC is a company that uses a dynamic approach to ensure that their clients are maximizing the benefits that are associated with higher credit scores. This company will examine client’s current products and services that are directly related to their credit scores. Mortgages, Lines of Credit, Deposits, Loans, Student Loans, Credit Cards, and Insurance are just some of the areas that will be evaluated to make sure clients are in a 'better' place when they complete the program. Another program is the Freedom Package. The ultimate goal of this offer is to have the program pay for itself. Why pay more for every financial transaction and other business affair for the rest of your life. Better Qualified protects you against Identity Theft, the fastest growing crime in America. The financial services industry constitutes the largest group of companies in the world in terms of earnings and equity market capitalization. However it is not the largest category in terms of revenue or number of employees. It is also a slow growing and extremely fragmented industry, with the largest company (Citigroup), only having a 3% US market share. In contrast, the largest home improvement store in the US, Home Depot, has a 30% market share, and the largest coffee house Starbucks has a market share of 32%.

Kent Shreeve Memorial
Kent Evans Shreeve, 81, died at home on December 23, 2018. Born on February 17, 1937 in Jonesboro, AR, he moved to West Helena as a child, and the town and people in it remained a dear part of his life until he died.
He was predeceased by his parents Victor and Helen Burns Shreeve and sister, Kay. He is survived by his wife, Anna; daughters, KayRee Shreeve (Griselda) of Gilroy, CA; Jane Lea Smith (Jim) of Del Mar, CA; stepdaughters, Kristy Townsend (Chad) of Bentonville; Robin Wing (Jim) of Conway; Bridget Pitonyak (Eddie) of Little Rock; son, Michael Shreeve of Hot Springs; stepsons, George Waddell (Shannan) of Little Rock; Kim Waddell (Linda) of Carlisle, LaVaughn Waddell (Dee) of Houston, TX and many other family members and friends.
He enjoyed his grandpa role and delighted in the accomplishments of all his grandchildren. Often that million dollar smile was on display when Emma Smith; Stella, Sterling Grace, and Louis Waddell; Hayden, Maddox and Anna Marie Townsend; Ethan Rhoades (Brittany); Colton and Dustin Pitonyak (Deni); Kimberly Schalchin; and Brandon Waddell (Beth) came to visit.
Kent attended the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville where he served as president of Sigma Chi, Theta Tau, and Ta Beta Pi, earning both Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in Civil Engineering. He was privileged to have served as a civil engineer lieutenant on active duty for three years in the US Air Force preceded by 4 years in the Army Reserve. He began his civilian engineering career at Shell Oil Company in Ventura, CA, followed by Humble Oil and Refining Co. in Baton Rouge, La. and later AFCO Steel in Little Rock. In 1972, he began Shreeve Engineering, Inc. His primary professional interests were industrial plants and forensic engineering. He was active in the Arkansas Academy of Civil Engineering where contributing to scholarships for civil engineering students was a primary pleasure, Structural Engineers Association of Arkansas and Rotary Club where he was a Paul Harris Fellow. His church home was St. James United Methodist and was a member of the Forum Sunday School Class.
He liked to hunt but was not a meat hunter. Carrying a gun to the woods with a few bullets, a cigar and a Butterfinger candy bar with a coffee thermos was good enough. Observing and interacting with wildlife, especially wild turkeys, were his primary objectives. Playing the piano was a special talent and he marked off a bucket list item by playing piano concerts of jazz ballads at the South Arkansas Art Center in El Dorado and St. John's Episcopal Church in Helena. Collecting classic books and selectively reading parts of them was a passion. Although he would not call himself an intellectual, his drive for learning never ended. He committed himself to the Obedient Life taught by Jesus Christ in the Sermon on the Mount and by Bill W. and Dr. Bob in the 12 steps and was committed to sharing this life with others. On July 5, he would have celebrated 37 years of sobriety. His ending to every note, letter or card was always Peace and Love.
Visitation will be at Roller-Chenal Funeral Home on December 27 from 5-7 pm and memorial service will be at St. James United Methodist Church at 10 am on December 28 with private burial in Mount Holly Cemetery, Little Rock.
The family has asked that in lieu of flowers, memorial gifts be given in honor of Kent Shreeve to the Arkansas Academy of Civil Engineering scholarship Fund, 300 University House, Fayetteville, AR 72701, Attn: Gift Services or St. James United Methodist Church, 321 Pleasant Valley Dr, Little Rock, AR 72212.

Wreaths Across America at Arlington Cemetary 2015
WARNING! This one a a real tear jerker. We spent a beautiful day at Arlington National Cemetery, laying wreaths on graves of our fallen heroes. This service project is very near and dear to my heart. It is so important to show respect to our American heroes, especially at Christmas time. If you're ever able to get to Arlington, I highly recommend it. Thanks for watching!
