Turner was a city board
member in 2008 during the
deadly tornado and said he
remembers all the police
and ambulances in the area
during the tragedy.
The mayor said the park’s

the landscaping is finished,
and that the city will add a
sidewalk for park visitors to
arrive there safely. He also
encouraged area residents
to keep the park beautiful.
For Chacon’s old-
est brother, Alan Daniel
Chacon, 28, this plot of land
has brought him mixed
emotions over the last eight
years because of the sour
memories.
“She was too young when
she left, so there was still a
lot left from us to receive
from her,” he said. “I have
kids now, my brother is
going off to college, so we
didn’t get to see a lot of that
from her.”
However, he said the park
is her way to give those lost
experiences to her family.
“I’m just glad that we’re
able to come back as
a family and have our
kids enjoy something
like this,” said Daniel
Chacon, whose 3-year-old
daughter is named Sydney
Eliana Chacon, in her aunt’s
honor.

empower youth to become
tomorrow’s entrepreneurs
by helping them start, own
and operate their very own
lemonade stand, according
to the organization’s web-
site, www.lemonadeday.org.
The organization de-
veloped a 14-step process
that walks youth through
the process from dream
to business plan, while
teaching them the same
principles required to start
a big company, the website
states. Students get to keep
their profits and are taught
to spend, save and share
by giving back to the com-
munity.
Three groups of 11- to
13-year-old students from
the Boys and Girls Club will
be setting up lemonade
stands from 10 a.m. to 2
p.m. Saturday at Walmart
Neighborhood Market, Sig-
nature Plaza and Harps,
according to Stephen John-
ston, athletics director for
the club.
This is also the second
year that the Boys and Girls
Club has been involved in
Lemonade Day. Johnston
said his students have been
working for three or four
weeks to prepare for the
event.They have developed
a business plan, asked for a
loan for startup money, and
done the math to figure out
howmanysuppliestheywill
need and how much they
will need to charge to make
a profit.
The curriculum teaches
students to think of all
aspects of running a busi-
ness, including the smallest
details, Johnston said. They
also learn common busi-
ness terminology, he said.
“The more successful
they are at this, the more
likely they are to be involved
in business later in life,” he
said. “It get’s them excited
about it early in life.”
Northwest Arkansas has
historically been a hot-
bed of entrepreneurship,
spawning leaders such as
Sam Walton, J.B. Hunt, and
Mark Simmons, Heimer
said.
“This is the perfect breed-
ing ground for kids to do a
program like this,” she said.
“It fits the culture really
well.”
The materials for Lemon-
ade Day were free of charge
to those who participated
due to sponsorship from
the Walmart Museum. Sam
Walton had a great pas-
sion for entrepreneurship,
and the program is right in
the spirit of who he was,
Heimer said.
Heimer is encouraging
people to get out on May 7
and if they see a stand, stop
and buy lemonade.
“Beyond that, ask the kids
about their product,” she
said. “There is likely a story
behind it.”
Customers should also
ask kids which philanthropy
they plan to support with
their earnings, she said.

“Each one (of the honor
guard members) are veter-
ans,” Gillig said. “They are
all proud to be there. It’s an
honor to be there to perform
fullmilitaryhonors.”
Familiesareveryapprecia-
tiveofhavingtheirlovedone
receive military honors at
theirfuneral,hesaid.
“Their reaction tears at
yourheart,”Gilligsaid.
The honor guard has been
a long time coming, accord-
ing to Gillig. The idea to es-
tablish an honor guard was
broughtupfouryearsagobut
there were not enough par-
ticipants to bring it to reality.
GilligsaidthatMaddenWaits,
former second vice com-
mander for the post, insisted
thatveteransdeservemore.
Gillig volunteered to help
get the honor guard off the
groundandtheymadeafive-
minute video and passed it
around to recruit members.
The honor guard started off
with eight members and
theywerelargelyself-funded,
Gillig said. Members bought
whiteshirtsandthepostcov-
eredthecostofembroidery.
The post started practic-
ing for a three-shot volley
with eight old rifles the post
had on hand. It is a com-
mon myth that all veterans
receive a 21 gun salute, Gil-
lig explained. That honor
is actually reserved for U.S.
presidents.
Once they got going, the
honor guards started “grow-
ing by leaps and bounds,”
andhasreceivedalotofsup-
port from the community,
accordingtoGillig.
The honor guard received
a donation of six ceremo-
nial rifles and blank rounds
of ammunition from the
CivilianMarksman’sProgram
and began practicing. They
also received a donation of
an electronic bugle from
Walmart on which to play
taps,hesaid.
J.W. Smith applied for a
grant to fund the purchase
of pistol belts and gloves.
The honor guard has also
received support from fami-
liesofthedeceasedandfrom
WassonFuneralHome.

All of the donations and
support will help the honor
guard perform military hon-
ors at even more funerals.
Membersofthehonorguard
take their duties very seri-
ously,Gilligsaid.
“It’s just one little way we
can give back to the com-
munity and veterans who
served,”Gilligsaid.
