Replacing the tank

Not all of the work on the Forrest City Water Utility system is done on city streets. Richard Rice moves a chlorine tank weighing about 300 pounds to replace an empty tank at the FCWU Water Plant. According to Edward Gregory, the utility’s water treatment supervisor, chlorine is used to kill bacteria in the water. Photo by Alan Smith.

Growing a garden

A pair of People’s Gardens have been planted in the courtyard of Lincoln Middle Academy of Excellence. Fifth and sixth graders at the school, helped by the St. Francis County Master Gardeners and SFC Cooperative Extension Service agents, will harvest the vegetables they planted, and the students should be able to enjoy a salad made from them by the end of the school year.
