| Johns’ retrospective visits the Midwest
This grandiose collection boasts over 100 prints that display the culmination of Johns' talent, innovation and experience in a chronological walk through his artistic career. A palpable trademark of Johns' style is the repetition of motifs and symbols throughout his works. “Two Flags" and “Flags II" demonstrate his fascination with re-using subjects. Each print contains the American flag portrayed in a different style or color—a subject that Johns used in more then 50 drawings, 30 paintings and 14 prints. Johns reworked and transformed his subjects and motifs throughout by changing the medium, technique, color or scale to alter the form and meaning. Printmaking is a technique that allows for easy alteration and reworking of a subject matter, a main selling point for Johns when first considering printmaking.
Complainers trying to halt new opportunity
Opportunities come and opportunities go. For years it seemed that more of the opportunities that came to Yuma turned right around and left because something or someone in the mix of it all made it an impossibility for these opportunities to even put a shovel in the ground. Yet the people complained that there was nothing to do in Yuma. They complained they had to go out of town to get what they needed. Then came the Yuma Palms mall. Alas, our problems were solved. We had a choice to shop locally or ... go out of town. Perfect. Yet the people complained. "It's not an indoor mall." "It's too far to walk between stores." "El Centro mall has air conditioning." And the city took the heat for essentially encouraging new business in this growth opportunity. By the amount of traffic at Yuma Palms, it does not appear that people are staying away.

LOCAL VOICES: Emergency workers involved with rescues at Union ...
"The night of the tornado, I carried my wife and my son to my neighbor's house because they had a basement. And I went straight to Union. I saw the UPS truck on its side, so I got out and walked with my flashlight. We started searching rooms and making sure no one was in there. Everyone was helping out. As a police officer, you become cynical about human nature. And it was good to see the good side of people. At one point, when the next storm front was headed our way, I thought about safety. I used to not be afraid of storms, but now I am because you can't get away from them. They're so random." - Jackson police Sgt. Phillip Whitman, 17 years with the department .
