County facing unprecedented tax shortfall
CHARLES GOODIN
Editor
NASHVILLE - Howard
County is facing an unprecedented shortfall in property
tax collection.
According to Chief Deputy
Collector Olena Morris, over
$1 million worth of taxes
due by Oct. 15 were unpaid
this year. Howard County
has collected $6,446,170.20
so far, compared to the
$7,632,268.14 that was
brought in during the 2013
Over $1 million in personal
property taxes remain unpaid
collection period.
Altogether, $7,997,423.27
in taxes have been assessed
in the county, and although
delinquent payments are
common, Morris said they
have never totaled more than
$300,000 during the 34 years
she has worked in the office.
Morris attributed this
year’s shortfall in part to the
state of the local economy,
pointing out that those who
hadn’t paid by the Oct. 15
deadline were largely private
citizens.
“All the big businesses
have paid,” Morris said. “It’s
just the people. They’re normally lined out both doors but
this year we were just sitting
here waiting on them to pay.”

the Oct. 15 deadline are subject to a 10 percent penalty
fee, plus interest on any unpaid real estate tax.

haven’t got any control over
that. Basically, when they
pay them, we’ll get them,”
he said. “Next month, we

he games have officially begun. Tributes have been paired up and now are
on the hunt as the first annual Interact
Club Hunger Games get underway.
But don’t think that Nashville High School’s Interact Club has started a full out battle royale to the
death between more than 50 participating
students. These games aren’t
quite as extreme as the
successful movie and
novel franchise from
which they derive
their name.
Unlike Susan
Collins’s fictional
universe, where people
are chosen as tributes to
fight for their survival, this
version of the Hunger Games
is a fund raiser for the student
club that involves harmless Nerf
weapons instead of deadly bows
and swords.
“For the first time, the ‘fun’ in
fund raiser is being considered,” Club
President Jackson Beavert said during
a recent interview. “Any student can go out
on a Saturday and do a bake sale or run a car
wash, but not everyone can say they participated
in a Nerf war to raise money.”The ultimate goal of
the game is to be the last person standing. As of Oct.
18, all participants in the games were assigned to a
partner randomly to create teams, and then each

NASHVILLE - A local business leader was found dead
at his home Wednesday
morning in what authorities are calling an “apparent
suicide.”
According to a statement
issued by Sheriff Butch
Morris, William Wesley
Fritts was declared dead at
the scene after authorities
were alerted to his Blue
Bayou residence by a “close
friend.” He was the 76 year
old owner of The Agency,
an insurance and real estate
staple in Howard County.
“When officers arrived,
they found [Fritts] outside
of his home, deceased from
a single gunshot wound,”
Morris said in the statement. “Mr. Fritts was pronounced dead at the scene
by the Howard County
Coroner.”
Several area businessmen remembered Fritts
fondly, with Chamber of
Commerce Director Mike
Reese praising his character
in a statement issued to local media.
“We were sorry to learn
that Bill Fritts passed away
today. A longtime businessman in Nashville and a lifelong resident of Howard
County, we extend our sympathies to Bill’s family and

Early voting
numbers up
NASHVILLE - The numbers
for people voting early in Howard County are well up so far
for this election, pointing toward a heavy overall turnout.
According to county election commissioner Angela Allen, 395 ballots had been cast
by close of polls Wednesday at
the county courthouse, with
more than 100 voters coming
out each day of voting so far.
The last general election saw
1,782 ballots cast during early
voting, with the heaviest voting coming at the end of the
period.
Sources with the county
clerk’s office say that part of
this can be attributed to recent
changes to polling sites made
by the county election commission. There also seems to
be a statewide trend toward
increased early voting though,
as reported by the Arkansas’s
Secretary of State’s website.
A larger pool of voters may
also be a contributing factor,
with more than 7,600 now registered to vote in the county
- up nearly 10 percent from the
number of registered voters in
the last general election two
years ago.
Early voting will continue
until Mon., Nov. 3 at 5 p.m.
Election Day is Tues., Nov. 4.

will truly be
missed,” Reese said. “He
was fair in his
dealings with
everyone. He
FRITTS
was always in
an upbeat mood.”
Local Edward Jones representative Josh Tice also
recalled Fritts’s pleasant
demeanor.
“He always had a smile
on his face, called me by
name and shook my hand,
no matter what was going
on,” Tice said.
Gary Fant, former owner
of Gary Fant Cellular, which
shared a building with The
Agency, called Fritts “the
most honest businessman”
he’d ever worked with, further attesting to the community-wide respect offered
to the late entrepreneur.
“He was ver y well
thought of by everyone
who worked with him and
all of his customers over
the years,” Fant said. “He
always thought more of his
customers than he did of
himself.”
Longtime Nashville resident Larry White recalled
Fritts as being instrumental
in developing his interest in
working out.

Undercover
Congressman
Pryor fought for elderly,
changed industry
“What are you going to do about it?” implored a mother
to her son one day. The year was 1969, and US Rep. David
Pryor was being confronted by his mother about a serious problem facing an aunt in a nursing home. In spite of
the reassurances of the facility, Pryor’s aunt was living
in horrifying conditions that destroyed her dignity and
threatened her health. Family and service to others were
ideas that meant much to him, so Pryor decided to do
something about it.
David Pryor, a Camden native, had been elected to
Congress in 1966 and continually heard reassurances from
nursing-home industry lobbyists and executives that the
funding provided by state and federal governments went
for the best care for patients and the few regulators that
existed at the time found
very few problems. Regulators would always announce
their inspections in enough
DR. kEnnEth
time for the nursing homes
bRIDGEs
to pass, and lobbyists
History
convinced states to weaken
Professor
what few protections existed.
Pryor had long scoffed at
these assurances as stories
like his aunt’s continued to surface.
In the late 1960s, abuses of patients in nursing homes
had become an epidemic across the nation. The elderly
were beaten, health problems ignored, and medication
was withheld or overdosed. Pryor decided that the only
way to uncover the truth was to look for himself, away
from the cameras, guided tours, and hearings in comfortable offices.
He decided that he would visit Washington, DC, area
homes not as a congressman, but instead as a volunteer
interested in serving as an orderly on nights and weekends.
With his visits to 11 nursing homes, his findings were
heartbreaking. He found patients covered in bedsores
from neglect, small rooms crammed with a dozen or more
beds, and patients left sitting in wheelchairs in their own
waste. One home had only one employee to care for 80
people. Pryor found patients dumped at facilities by their
families with nothing to do and no one to talk to. Patients
had no means to move to better facilities and no way to
lodge complaints or even contact family. Managers often
did whatever it took to convince inspectors that nothing
was wrong, and employees often threatened patients to
stay quiet.
Pryor recounted that one elderly man, too frail to even
cut his own toenails, resisted this basic service as the
orderlies charged him $7 each time. Pryor decided to do
something about it. So there sat a United States Congressman, cutting the toenails of an old man forgotten by his
family and friends and taking the time to listen to his
stories.
By early 1970, the nursing home scandal broke after
Pryor revealed his findings and media went into a frenzy.
He worked over the course of months to set up hearings
and gain support for legislation to help nursing home patients. He convinced both Democrats and Republicans to
support creation of a House Committee on Aging, against
the wishes of leadership in both parties and congressmen
who had stock in nursing homes.
After his election as Arkansas governor in 1974, he
won new regulations for Arkansas nursing homes and
continued to push for better standards of treatment for
patients. Other states slowly followed. After his election
to the US Senate, he was named chairman of the Senate
Special Committee on Aging, where he continued his work
to ensure that nursing homes provided quality care. Strict
guidelines for care and hygiene and surprise visits by inspectors would become routine across the nation, though
problems would persist for some care facilities. David
Pryor had done something about it.

In Kentucky, a constitutional moment
Barack Obama lost Kentucky in 2012 by 23 points, yet the
state remains closely divided about re-electing the man whose
parliamentary skills uniquely qualify him to restrain Obama’s
executive overreach. So, Kentucky’s Senate contest is a constitutional moment that will determine whether the separation of
powers will be reasserted by a Congress revitalized by restoration of the Senate’s dignity.
Even counting Justice Louis Brandeis as a
Kentuckian -- at 18 he defected to Harvard and
New England -- Mitch McConnell, 72, is second
only to Henry Clay as the state’s most consequential public servant. McConnell’s skills have
been honed through five terms. He is, however
-- let us say the worst -- not cuddly. National
Review has said he has “an owlish, tight-lipped
public demeanor reminiscent of George Will.”
Harsh. But true.
On only one significant matter -- McConnell opposes increasing the minimum wage, a symbolic issue of negligible economic
importance -- is he at odds with a large majority of Kentuckians.
Thus he surely would be leading by more than a few points if
he were less austere and more telegenic.
Democrats selected McConnell’s opponent, Alison Lundergan Grimes, 35, Kentucky’s secretary of state, largely to further
their “Republicans loathe women” fable. McConnell, however,
is running even with Grimes among women, partly because of
the persuasiveness of his wife, Elaine Chao, the longest-serving
labor secretary since World War II (2001-2009).
In 1952, a Republican member of the Phoenix City Council,
Barry Goldwater, defeated U.S. Senate Majority Leader Ernest
McFarland. For the next 52 years, until the defeat of Tom Daschle, D-S.D., in 2004, no party’s Senate leader was defeated.
But political polarization has increased leaders’ conspicuousness and vulnerabilities. McConnell, who in 2002 won with 65
percent, won in 2008 with just 53 percent.
Grimes’ cringe-inducing campaign has depended on a
migraine-inducing argument: She broadly disagrees with her
party’s leader, but it is important that she help perpetuate
Harry Reid’s iron-fisted shutdown of the Senate for Obama’s
convenience. Her campaign has raised more money than McConnell’s in three consecutive quarters, but money is not magic,
which would be needed to make her candidacy coherent.
Although Senate races in many states remain close -- Mc-
Connell remembers Republicans losing control of the Senate
in 1986 by about 25,000 votes in five states -- he anticipates a
Republican majority in 2015. Then, he says, “a lot of institutional repair” will begin.
Since Republicans won control of the House in 2010, the
Democratic-controlled Senate’s function has been obstruction.
Reid has prevented bills passed by the Republican House from
coming to a vote, and has prevented Republicans -- and Democrats, too -- from proposing
GEORGE amendments to Senate bills that would be awkward for Democrats to oppose or for Obama to
WILL
veto. Obama has cast only two vetoes, both for
Washington technical reasons on minor matters. Since July
Post
2013, McConnell says, there have been only 22
Senate roll call votes on amendments -- and says
Alaska Democrat Mark Begich has never in his
six Senate years had a roll call vote on an amendment of his.
Such paralysis of the Senate leaves Obama uninhibited in
his use of executive orders and bureaucratic mission-creep to
advance goals that should require legislation. Last January,
in the most statesmanlike Senate speech in years, McConnell
explained how, under Republican leadership, the Senate would
be restored as the creator of consensus:
“An executive order can’t [create consensus]. The fiat of a
nine-person court can’t do it. A raucous and precarious partisan majority in the House can’t do it. The only institution that
can make stable and enduring laws is the one we have in which
all 50 states are represented equally, and where every single
senator has a say in the laws that we pass.”
Beneath McConnell’s chilly exterior burns indignation about
the degradation of the institution to which he has devoted
much of his life. The repair of it, in the form of robust committee and amendment processes -- and an extended workweek
-- will benefit Democratic members, too.
Kentucky’s Senate election is 2014’s most important, for a
reason rich in irony: Although Grimes considers McConnell
the architect of gridlock, electing her to inevitably docile membership in Reid’s lockstep ranks would perpetuate this. But a
re-elected McConnell, with a Republican majority, would, he
says, emulate his model of majority leadership -- the 16 years
under a Democrat, Montana’s Mike Mansfield. He, like McConnell, had a low emotional metabolism but a subtle sense of the
Senate’s singular role in the nation’s constitutional equilibrium.

Yes, I must state that
both men are baby boomers; a generation that understood the value of a
dollar and believed that
every minute counts. A
generation that put “others” before “me” and really
understood what sacrifice
meant. Thank God for such
a generation. I have humbly
tried to follow their advice,
no matter the situation or
circumstances around me.
No matter who’s over me,
no matter who “Calls the
shots.”
This being a year of possible leadership transition,
let’s not forget that once the
election passes, we’re still
what we are now - public
servants - and if we’re doing
our best on the job now, a
change in office should not
alter what we are.
No, I’m not running for
office this year, so this is
not to make me look good.
Nor am I endorsing any candidates. I simply wanted to
share what I’ve been taught
by two good men.
So, no matter where you
reside, do your best for the
ones you serve. No matter
what.

paper, but deputies did not
discover the death.

Parents, schools must work together for student success
It is almost the end of the
first nine weeks of school.
Are you happy with your
child’s progress? Successful
students are those whose
parents along with the
school are concerned about
the students. Education is
not just about schools, it also
involves the parents.
According to Dr. James
Marshall, assistant professor of family life with the
University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture, schools
were created to help parents in the teaching of their
children, not be a substitute for parental direction
and involvement. Parents
should be involved in their
children’s education from
day one.
Parents who are disconnected emotionally or physically from their children
won’t have much effect in
helping children succeed.
Loving and spending time
with children are the most
important starting points for
helping them to succeed in
school. Work on a project together, but be sure not to do
the project for the child. Parents can help by providing
the necessary tools the child
will need. For example, your
5th grader may be studying
about Native Americans and
the homes they built. The
project may be to build one
Jean
ince
U of A
Extension
of the structures. Parents
can help by providing sticks,
paper, scissors, glue, markers, etc. not building the
house for the child because
you may be able to do a
better job than the child.
Remember, it is their project
and they will learn best by
doing it themselves.
Rewarding children for
doing well in school can be a
great motivator for success.
Since it is close to report
card time, this brings up a
subject many parents face.
Should I reward my child
with good grades by paying
them? Some parents say
yes. They try to motivate
their children to make good
grades by paying $10 for an
A, $5 for a B, and so on. Or
they may pay their child
to maintain a certain grade
point average. While this
may work, there are some
better ways to motivate your
child to succeed. Here’s why:
Most children cannot focus on a reward for the entire
nine week school term. Instead, work with children on
a day-to-day basis by asking,
“What did you do in math to-
day?” “English?” “Science?”
and “What are you studying
tonight?” If they say nothing,
suggest reading a book. Your
interest in what they are doing in school shows that you
think learning is important
and exciting.
Evidence shows that
when children are rewarded
for a behavior, they are less
likely to do the behavior for
the joy of it. Children who
are paid to work puzzles
work only as long as they
are paid. Children who play
with puzzles without being
paid are likely to continue
after the assigned time. Monetary rewards often backfire
because children focus on
the reward instead of the
accomplishment.
Acknowledge good
grades. Ask the child on a
consistent basis, “How does
it make you feel to know you
have done so well on your
tests?” Parents might also
say something such as, “You
must feel very proud to have
done so well on your report
card.” Questions or statements such as these help the
child to begin to formulate
his or her own internal reasons and motivation for doing well in school, whether
you reward them or not.
Instead of paying for that
“A”, celebrate good grades
by going out to dinner, bak-
ing a cake, or having a “special night” at home. A “special night” could be playing
board games or watching a
movie and popping popcorn.
It could also be allowing your
child to invite a friend over
to spend the night. There
are many ways to celebrate
good grades without paying
for them.
If your child is not doing
as well as expected, try to
find out what the problem
may be. Discuss with the
teacher what they think may
be the problem and how you
can help. Sometimes what
teachers and/or parents
think may be a learning
disability in a child can be
something as simple as a
child needing glasses to see
better. Other times, it may be
something more complex. If
a parent thinks a problem
exists, they should begin by
using the resources available at the child’s school.
Most schools have a parent
resource center.
Occasionally walking a
child into school, picking
them up from school, attending parent-teacher conferences or participating in
school activities are excellent ways parents can keep
communication lines open
between home and school.
Parents who are willing to
put forth the effort can help
their children be more successful in school.

Nominations sought for
agriculture hall of fame
LITTLE ROCK — The Arkansas Agriculture Hall of
Fame is seeking nominations
from the public for its class
of 2014. The nomination
deadline is Nov. 14.
The Agriculture Hall of
Fame recognizes Arkansans
who are or have contributed
significantly to the state’s
largest industry, while spotlighting their contributions
to the state’s economic development. Since its first
class was selected in 1987, a
total of 142 men and women
have been inducted.
Cal McCastlain, chairman
of the Arkansas Agriculture
Hall of Fame, says anyone
can nominate a person believed worthy for the honor.
“The history of Arkansas
agriculture is filled with great
men and women,” McCastlain said. “The role of the
Arkansas Agriculture Hall of
Fame is to honor the worthy
individuals who made a profound impact on Arkansas
agriculture.”
The Farm Bureau Center
in Little Rock houses the
Agriculture Hall of Fame,
which is sponsored by the
Arkansas State Chamber of
Commerce and Arkansas
Farm Bureau.
Additional information
and online nomination forms
are available at www.arkansasaghalloffame.org. Forms
can also be requested by
calling MaLeta Stephens at
501-228-1470.
The induction ceremony
for the next class will be
March 6, 2015 in Little Rock.
David Hoenstein prepares his dog for condiments at the Nashville city park on
Johnson Street Monday evening. The Howard County Democrats were giving
away hotdogs as part of an effort to remind people to get out and vote during this
election period. Approximately 200 people received the free hotdogs and drinks.
NASHVILLE - Municipal
sewer rates will be increasing while water rates remain
the same following action
at Tuesday’s city council
meeting.
Aldermen approved the
increase unanimously after
Public Works Director Larry
Dunaway told the council
that a previously-approved
plan to raise both water and
sewer would not meet the
guidelines required by the
city’s loan from the United
States Department of Agriculture.
That proposal would
have raised water minimums by $2 per month,
water consumption by 10
cents per 1,000 gallons, the
sewer minimum by $2 and
sewer consumption by 50
cents per 1,000 gallons. The
ordinance passed Tuesday
instead leaves water rates
as they are, but increases
minimum sewer to $14.27
and consumption to $3.04
per 1,000 gallons. The senior
sewer minimum will be set
at $13.70.
Dunaway said the altered
ordinance was necessary
because the city’s ability to
make payments on its $6.8
million sewer improvement
loan is based solely on sewer
rates, not on water and sewer, as was originally thought.
“To me, water and sewer
are all one fund, but in USDA’s eyes they’re separate,”
he explained.
In other business, council
members:

Gurdon lumber mill to expand
JIm WILLIAmSON
Texarkana Gazette
GURDON - The city has
renewed optimism after
Georgia-Pacific recently announced plans to invest $37
million at the Gurdon lumber
operations.
The company is also
evaluating additional investments totaling $20 million at
the Gurdon plywood mill to
increase the mill’s efficiency
and capacity and reduce air
emissions.
The owner of the Pizza &
Taco Barn in Gurdon, Kendra
Raines, is optimistic. She described the announcement
as “super exciting.”
Raines, who purchased
the restaurant four years
ago from her parents, believes the Georgia-Pacific
announcement will help
increase in sales tax revenues during the construction phase and the potential
for increased timber hauling
into the Gurdon mill.
“Anytime an industry announces an expansion in a
small town, it’s great. It gives
our kids a chance after they
graduate of staying here and
not having to move off,” said
Thaisa Vandiver, a waitress
at the Pizza & Taco Barn.
Jay Harwell of Gurdon,
who owns a machine shop,
believes businesses will notice increases in jobs and
sales tax revenues.
“Logging contractors
should see better business. The log truck business should increase,” said
Harwell.
A portion of the sign on
“Calley’s Station” near downtown Gurdon emphasises
the slogan of the business—
“keep on truckin’
“This will help business.
We can always be busier.
There will be more timber
hauling and more work in
the woods. It’s a good thing,”
said Johnny Calley, who has
been in business since 1967.
Georgia-Pacific plans to
invest $37 million at its Gurdon lumber operations to
expand the production capacity of the lumber mill by
about 60 percent and position the facility for long-term
success.
Improvements at the lum-
ber mill include the installation of a new continuous
dry kiln and a state-of-the-art
planer mill, along with related infrastructure improvements. Project completion
is expected by the third
quarter of 2015.
“As the housing market
continues a slow, but steady
improvement, our plans to
invest at Gurdon ensure our
ability to meet the growing
needs of our customers and
become their lumber supplier of choice,” said Fritz
Mason, vice president and
general manager for GeorgiaPacific’s lumber business.
“This is an opportunity to
broaden our product offerings, enhance quality and
improve our cost competitiveness.”
“The Arkadelphia Regional Economic Development
Alliance is pleased to provide local support through
the Clark County economic
development sales tax to
help Georgia-Pacific complete this expansion,” said
Eric Hughes, chairman of
the Alliance. “Georgia-Pacific
has been a great corporate
citizen in Gurdon for many
years, providing hundreds of
jobs in Clark County.”
“This is exciting news for
our community and state,”
said Stephen Bell, president
and CEO of the Alliance. “We
have been working alongside
Mayor Clayton Franklin and
other community leaders
to upgrade the sewer treatment plant and increase the
treatment plant’s capacity
at the city of Gurdon—a key
element to Georgia-Pacific’s
expansion effort.”
“This as a win-win for
the citizens of Gurdon and
Georgia-Pacific,” added Clark
County Judge Ron Daniell.
“These upgrades will not
only support Georgia-Pacific’s expansion, but will
help us in our effort to recruit more industry to our
region.”
“Georgia-Pacific is among
the top three largest manufacturing employers in Arkansas,” said Grant Tennille,
executive director of the
Arkansas Economic Development Commission. “This
significant expansion investment in Gurdon confirms
Georgia-Pacific’s commitment to doing business in
Arkansas and is a testament
to the company’s confidence
in the local workforce.”
“This expansion is made
possible thanks to the hard
work and dedication of the
employees the Georgia Pacific Gurdon Wood Products
facility. The City of Gurdon
will also grow and benefit
from this expansion. This
is the largest capital investment that GP has made into
a building products facility.
Georgia Pacific invests in
winners and that is what
these employees are and
we thank them,” said Clark
County Justice of the Peace
Sherry Kelley.
Kelley expects the city’s
sales tax revenue to grow
through the increased purchases made in Gurdon by
the construction crews and
the additional loggers and
truckers who will visit the
facility.
“The City of Gurdon will
also benefit from a substantial upgrade to our water
treatment facility funded
by the Economic Develop-
ment Corporation of Clark
County,” said Kelley. “The
upgrade will serve the needs
of the Georgia Pacific Wood
Products Plant and our community. This is a win win
situation for all.”
The company has declined to list the number of
new jobs during construction and after the construction is completed.
“They don’t want to talk
about the number of employees so competitors don’t
learn too much about what
they’re doing,” said Kelley.
Gurdon has a population
of 2,276 people and is located in southern Clark County
on U.S. Highway 67, about 15
miles from Arkadelphia.
Georgia-Pacific has eight
facilities employing about
2,700 people in Arkansas,
with more than 665 people located at the Gurdon
lumber and plywood operations. Total direct compensation and benefits for
Arkansas employees is
about $205 million, resulting in approximately $446
million in indirect wages
and benefits.

GAmE OF THE WEEK
NO. 9 GOSNELL
AT NO. 10 POCAHONTAS
Gosnell has won six of the past
seven in the series, including the
two straight by a combined 62-12.
The Pirates dismantled Highland
20-12 last week. Senior Tiberius
Real broke a 6-6 tie with a pair of
fourth-quarter scores. The undefeated Pirates outscore opponents
by 18 points a game. Real paces
the Pirates with 750 yards rushing
and eight TDs, while senior Carlos
Blackman has rushed for almost
500 yards and 10 TDs in just four
games. Blackman played defense
last week for the first time since
Week 2, intercepting a pair of second-half passes. Senior quarterback
Dwight Griffin missed time earlier
this season with a broken hand, but
he's been at full strength the past
two weeks. Griffin and Real form
one of the better safety tandems
in Class 4A. “Their secondary is
physical, they come up and tackle,”
says Pocahontas first-year coach
Charles Baty. Gosnell's defense
limited Highland receiver and
Arkansas Razorback commit Deon
Stewart to six catches for 60 yards.
Undefeated Pocahontas outscores
opponents by 35 points weekly.
Sophomore QB Reece Coates
completes 74 percent of his passes
(47 of 63) for 704 yards, and he's
rushed for 567 yards, while playing
in just the first half of the past four
games. Sophomore Barkley Sorg
has 66 carries for 417 yards (6.7
yards per carry), while junior Tristan
Privett has 22 carries for 354 yards
(14.8 yards per carry). Sophomore

yards and 15 TDs this fall. Fountain
Lake junior Parker Ross has rushed
for 1,124 yards and 18 TDs this
fall. “Fountain Lake is physical and

seen an offense like them.”

GAmE OF THE WEEK
NO. 8 DES ARC
AT NO. 3 HAzEN
This is the 6-2A title game. Both
teams are unbeaten in league play
and will be heavy favorites the next
two weeks. Despite nagging injuries
to all-state RB Trenton Mosby and
RB/LB Lucas Tenison, Hazen has
averaged 44 ppg behind junior
Logan Penn's 930 yards and 18
touchdowns. Hazen leads the entire
state in scoring defense, allowing
just eight ppg. Junior end Khalid
Mills has recorded a team-high
85 tackles. Junior tackle Donovan
Gurley (6-0, 330) spearheads both
lines. All the Hornets are healthy
for this week's game. Des Arc
counters with an efficient offense
run by senior QB Tyler Hill, who
excels at running the triple option.
Des Arc's starting defense, led by
senior linebacker Chase Hambrick's
46 tackles and sophomore end
Spencer Wrigley's 34 stops, has allowed an average of just 150 yards
the past four weeks in coaster wins
over Carlisle, Augusta, Stuttgart JV
and Marvell. HOOTEN'S TV SHOW

LAFAyETTE COUNTy AT GURDON (6): Biggest game for No.
12 Lafayette County since 2008
when it was 5-0 and played an
eventual 10-win Prescott team.
The Cougars gutted Dierks for 355
rushing yards last week, and junior
Tre'Darius Burks ran just 12 times
for 89 yards. Sophomore slotbacks
Lepatrick Miller and Kleavius Johnson rushed for 131 yards and 85
yards, respectively. Junior MLB Will
Hillburn and sophomore Stephon
Cooper lead the Cougar defense
with 53 and 54 tackles, respectively.
No. 4 Gurdon's defense crowds the
line of scrimmage and dares teams
to pass against a speedy secondary
consisting of three-year starting
corner Alunzo Leeper, sophomore
corner Donald Haynie and senior
safeties Adam Cooper and Jackie
Harvell (eight interceptions).
DIERKS AT mOUNT IDA (12): No.
11 Mount Ida has reeled off five
straight wins since losing Week 2
to Class 3A current No. 15 Danville.
Mount Ida's defense held Spring
Hill and Mineral Springs to one
first down in the first half of those
games. It held Foreman to three
first-half first downs. Junior LB
Caleb Jones paces Mount Ida with
64 tackles and nine sacks. Sophomre Logan Abernathy has made

for 159 yards and two TDs, while
senior Ross Stewart carried 22
times for 110 yards and two TDs.
8-2A
bEARDEN (2) AT RISON: This
winner likely grabs the No. 2 playoff
seed in the 8-2A. That second seed
goes to the bottom half of the play-
J W Manufacturing
off bracket opposite of top-ranked
Junction City in the top half of the
bracket. The 8-2A third playoff seed
will travel to Junction City in the
second round of the playoffs. Rison
owns a commanding 37-13-0
series advantage over Bearden,
according to Bearden historian
Jackie Bevill, but Bearden has won
the last two meetings by six and
eight points. No. 2 Bearden lost
three fumbles and generated just
five first downs and 130 yards last
week in a 39-0 loss to top-ranked
Junction City. Senior slotback/linebacker Devontae Ross (6-2, 185)
and senior LG James Clowers (6-3,
215) should return this week from
injuries. Both missed the Junction
City game. Rison will not have
junior slotback Chris Leaks, who
was ejected last week at Parkers
Chapel. Rison pounded Parkers
Chapel 40-0, recording 11 tackles
for 64 yards in losses. The Wildcats
held Parkers Chapel to 61 total

yards with junior Bryson Marks
accounting for 253 yards and four
TDs on 19 carries.
STRONG AT JUNCTION CITy (36):
Top-ranked Junction City mauled
No. 2 Bearden 39-0 last week,
scoring all the points it needed in
the first half, while holding Bearden
to 130 yards and five first downs
for the game. It leads the series
(that dates to 1930) with Bearden
28-22-2, according to Junction
City historian Wayne Pumphrey.
Junction City QB Randall Holyfield
completed 10 of 12 passes for 255
yards and six TDs in the first half,
all school records. Junction City
has won 33 games in a row, the
longest winning streak in Arkansas.
Senior RB Jaqwis Dancy (3,987
yards) needs 508 yards to surpass
Marcus Godfrey (1997-1999) as the
school's all-time rushing leader.
bASTROP (LA.) bEEKmAN
AT WOODLAWN (27): No. 14
Woodlawn is headed to the playoffs
after rallying past Strong 42-24 last
week. Senior RB Jeffrey Jones ran
for 235 yards and four TDs, putting
him at 1,344 yards this season.
Hermitage beat Beekman 44-16 last
week.
HAmPTON AT HERmITAGE (9):
Hermitage whipped startup Bastrop
(La.) Beekman 44-16 for its first win
since Week 4 last year when it defeated Norphlet JV 18-7. Hampton
was idle last week when it cancelled

Westside, trying to preserve enough
healthy bodies to finish the season.

Key conference game ahead as Nashville gears up for trip to mena
CHARLES GOODIN
Editor
NASHVILLE - The Nashville Scrappers will face a
key conference showdown
Friday as they prepare to
take on the Mena Bearcats.
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
In addition to the usual
Friday night excitement, the
outcome of the game will
play a major role in determining the 7-4A conference
champion. Both teams have
one conference loss, with
Mena’s coming last week at
the hands of Arkadelphia,
who Nashville defeated in
week four. The Scrappers’
lone loss, of course, came at
the hands of Fountain Lake
during week five, throwing
the conference standings
into disarray and leading to
the current five-team tie for
first place.
“They’ve played really
good, and it’s a five team
tie right now, so going into
week eight it’s big,” Scrapper
Head Coach Billy Dawson
said Tuesday during a brief
interview. “Any time there’s
five teams, obviously you’re
trying to win the league, so
you’re trying to take them
one game at a time.”
If both Fountain Lake and
Nashville win the rest of

their regular season games,
Fountain Lake will have the
tiebreaker over Nashville due
to their head-to-head win.
However, if the standings
break down to a three-way tie
between Arkadelphia, Fountain Lake and the Scrappers,
Nashville will come away
with the league title.
“Everybody has to play
everybody this last three
weeks so it’s going to be
interesting,” Dawson said.
“It’s one of those deals where
you’re going in there to win.
If you don’t, it’s not the end
of the world - you’re still in
the mix - but it’s a big week.”
The Bearcats have received significant attention
recently focused around
their passing game, but Dawson said the team is more
balanced than it appears,
although most plays usually revolve around quarterback Sage Kesterson, who
has compiled close to 1,500
yards through the air and 700
on the ground so far this year.
“He’s probably the best
quarterback we’ll face this
year in the run and the
throw,” Dawson said. “He
gets it out really fast, and he’s
got some guys who are some
really good route-runners
who he gets it to quick.”
Chief among those targets is all-purpose player
Brady Davis, who serves as
the team’s leading receiver
and its go-to running back.
Justin Castor, Zane Sherrer
and Greg Craig round out the
receiving corps.
The team is equally successful on defense and in the
kicking game, where Dawson
said they have averaged 11
points per game.
“The interesting thing to
me about them is in seven
games they’ve scored a defensive touchdown and a
special teams touchdown
in every game. Now, in the
record book, they did not
score one last week defensively against Arkadelphia,
but they did, it just got called
back,” the coach said. “I’m
counting it in terms of they’re very opportunistic.
They’ve caused 23 turnovers, which is more than
three a game. They’re onside
kicking at least once a game.
So they’re geting an average
of 11 points per game on
special teams and defense.
They’re stealing some possessions on turnovers and
onside kicks.”
Dawson said Mena focuses on preventing big plays
and waiting on teams to
make mistakes. So far, the
strategy has proven successful: Malvern fumbled the ball
seven times in their week five
loss to the Bearcats. The fact
that the game is being played
at Mena is also something
the coach said will factor into
the outcome of the contest.
“It’s huge. It’s gonna be a
great atmosphere, and they
play really good at home,”
Dawson said. “It’s a hard
place to play.”
The Scrappers got off
to a slow start last Friday,
falling 15 points behind Ashdown before scoring 31 unanswered points to claim
the victory. Dawson said a
large part of the struggle was
due to a lack of mental focus
that has seemed to plague
the team since the loss to
Fountain Lake.
“At some point, we’ve gotta quit having six penalties
before the ball’s snapped,”
the coach said. “At some
point, we’ve got to get that
cleaned up. You would think
we could fix that, but we
haven’t yet.”
Still, Dawson praised the
Scrapper linemen and running back Darius Hopkins
for their performances in the
contest.
“I thought they did a nice
job up front and I thought
Hopkins probably played
his best game in terms of getting up in there and running
down hill,” he said.
The Scrappers will look to
improve on those strengths
Friday as they travel to Mena.
Outlaws look to preserve playoff hopes as they head to mt. Ida
D.E. RAy
Managing Editor
DIERKS - The Dierks Outlaws prepare to beard the
Mt.Ida Lions in their den
this Friday in a match that
pits two of the heavyweight
teams of the conference
against each other.
Dierks head coach David
Bennett said that he expects
stiff resistance facing the
Lions, a competent team
of players with a strong
record.
“They’ve got a loaded
group. They’ve only lost
one game,” he remarked in a
recent interview. The Lion’s
single loss was to Danville
early in the season.
Aside from that single
loss, the Mt.Ida squad is
putting up more than 40
points on their side of the
scoreboard, while allowing
an average of only 16 points
for their opponents. Their
closest contest aside from
the Danville match has been
against Murfreesboro, with
the Rattlers putting up 38
points.
Bennet expounded on
that, stating his opinion that
the Outlaw’s offense would
see strong opposition. “Their
defense is very aggressive,”
he said, adding that “Austin
Hickman and Cody Robertson are the best players they
have- and Lowery is a very
good defensive back.”
He was non-specific about
what his plans for the game
were: “We’re going to have
to play very sound, very aggressive and not make any
mistakes.”
Reviewing the Outlaw’s
last game, a 37-14 loss to
Lafayette County, Bennett
said, “We didn’t play real
well, but you’ve got to give
it to Lafayette County. Their
running back is one of the
best in the conference.”
He did note difficulties
for the Outlaws, specifically
talking about the number
of errors and penalties the
team has been racking up.
“You don’t win games with
those,” he said.
Despite that, he pointed
out that the Dierks squad
has several fine players,
centering on a few in particular this week. “McWhorter
played hard last week. Kesterson did a great job running the ball.”
The Outlaws face the
Mt.Ida Lions in Mt.Ida Friday
evening.

Hornets’ best shot at first win is Friday against Foreman
D.E. RAy
Managing Editor
MINERAL SPRINGS - The
Mineral Springs Hornets are
preparing for a hard match
against the Foreman Gators
at the Hornets’ homecoming game this Friday in the
Hornets’ Nest.
Hornets head coach Jason Burns says that he is
preparing for a tough game
against what has traditionally been a weaker team.
“The Gators are very improved this year over the
past few years,” he remarked,
adding, “They’re gritty players, and they beat Spring Hill.
Their quarterback [Tucker]
Hall is athletic.”
Burns also admitted that
the Hornets have had some
major issues: particularly
size and numbers - but expressed an opinion that they
may finally face an equal opponent in this game. “They
have very few players. We
actually outnumber them,”
he said.
The last outing by the
Hornets saw size and num-
bers most definitely going
against them when faced
with the Murfreesboro Rattlers. Burns stated, “Big bodies leaned on us all night,
and by third quarter, we
just didn’t have an answer
for that.”
Despite the loss last week,
Burns was able to point out
several areas where the
Hornets are looking stronger: “Ja’Von [Atkins] had a
really good game, and it’s
good to have him back after
receiving a concussion two
weeks ago. Villegas has also
been really stepping up as
quarterback. And of course,
Keon [Hendrix] is going to
get yards.”
He also said that he
thought the team showed
improvement defensively
in the last game, saying that
the team put up their “best
blocking all year.”
Burns reported that the
Hornets are working hard in
practice this week, especially on defense. “We had some
alignment issues for defense
last week. We’re spending
time fine tuning formations.”
Tyler Villegas rushes for positive yardage amid a field of Murfreesboro defenders last week during the Hornets’ loss to
the Rattlers.
He also noted that the
pressures of homecom-
ing week can’t be ignored.
“There’s a lot of things this
week to distract players, but
the kids have done a good
job keeping focussed,” he
said.

NASHVILLE - The Nashville News remained the
largest-circulated print publication in Howard County
last year, according to statements of ownership printed
in both of the county’s newspapers.
The statements, which
are required by law to appear on or before the last
week in October, detail the
total paid circulation of the
publication they are printed
in. The Nashville News ran its
statement at the beginning
of the month, listing a total
paid circulation of 2,963. The
Nashville Leader, the only
other periodical concerned
with Howard County, printed
its statement Wednesday,
listing exactly 2,000 paid
subscribers.
Nashville News Editor
Charles Goodin said he was
proud to maintain the 136
year old publication’s position as the area’s premier
source for local news.
“With people regularly
predicting the doom of the
newspaper industry, I think
it speaks to the industrious
nature of Howard County
that it has supported both
publications for so long,”
Goodin said. “I want to personally thank each subscriber and advertiser for
allowing us to remain the
most relevant, timely and
accurate source for local
information. I am humbled
by their support, and deeply
appreciative of the role they
allow this paper to play in
their daily lives.”

Glann said.
“I have no regrets this
season, and I am extremely
proud of myself and team. I
did my best and held nothing
back these past four years so
I am very proud of this season,” explained Morphew.
For the Hartness brothers, the match was their last
opportunity to play together
as Garrett is graduating this
year.
“This was the best season
I have ever had,” Garrett
said. “I have improved more
than I ever have with the
help of Coach Williams.”
“It has been amazing
working with my brother
because we do well together
but I am not sure what I am
going to do next year because I am not comfortable
playing singles and so I am
anxious to see who I will play
doubles with next season,”
said Glenn.Though nobody
won state this year, the team
still enjoyed a successful
season as the boys team won
district for the first time ever
and seven players made it to
the final tournament.
“We had a good year with
the first boys to win district,”
Williams said. “It is hard to
go to state for the first time,
so we were a little tight and
nervous but I am proud of
the team and looking forward to next year.”

year playing and Olivia’s first
year so it didn’t seem likely
we would do well, let alone
make it to state,” Backus
agreed. “When Coach [Damon] Williams put us together this year we both
had no idea what he was
doing; however, he knew
and I believe we have a great
shot at being better next
season.”Carver was the only
person to make it in singles
this year and battled into
the second round with a 6-4,
6-4 win in the first round. He
lost 6-3, 3-6, 4-6 in the second
round.
“Tennis was an outlet for
me,” Carver said. “Walking
off the courts at state was
one of the hardest things I
will ever do, but we made
history winning district and
I had an amazing team and
coach and a great year.”In
men’s doubles, both Nashville teams made it to the
second round, but the road
ended there for Glann and
Morphew and the Hartness
brothers, who lost 0-6, 0-6,
and 7-5, 1-6, 0-6 respectively.
“It was great. I worked all
four years for this and it was
great to finally reach state,”

Jenny Cox consults a client Wednesday at her new salon, located on Blue Bayou
Road South, just off Highway 371 west of Nashville.
new Salon
Hitching Post is latest business
addition to Highway 371 area
D.E. RAy
Managing Editor
BLUE BAYOU - Opening a new business is scary and difficult - but Jenny Cox
seems likely to make the start of her new
salon, The Hitching Post, look easy.
Cox, who has 11 years experience in
cosmetology, has plenty of support from
her family in her endeavor. Her father,
Jerry Hill, former pastor of several local
churches - including Ridgeway Baptist
Church - constructed the shop building
beside Cox’s home along with family help.
Her brother and sister-in-law, David and
Melissa Hill, owners of the Simple Simon’s
Pizza in Nashville, also contributed to the
opening of her business.
Cox said that she was motivated to
open the salon next to her home for
several reasons: “It’s an opportunity to
work for myself, to be close to home, to
work where my family is.”
The western-styled building, located
on Blue Bayou Rd. South and visible from
Hwy. 371, is a very well-appointed single
station salon, with a stand-up tanning bed
in a private corner. Cox is offering a range
of services from simple cuts to coloring
and waxing, and will be open weekdays
from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., as well as Saturdays
by appointment.
Vegan cooking demonstration
scheduled at Nashville City Park
A cooking demonstration and class will be held

The program, which will

cooking, has a Thanksgiving theme.

team received a randomly
selected target consisting
of another team. Players
are allowed to use any
Nerf weapon, including
things like swords and
axes, to take out their
targets. After they eliminate their target, the team
will receive a new team
to target. The cost to play
is $10, with the proceeds
benefiting the Interact
group.
It’s a premise that could
make the games end as
quickly as they began,
were it not for the “safe
havens” set up in which
participants cannot be
shot or shoot their targets. These areas include
school, school and club
related functions such as
football games, inside a
house, at church, at a doctor’s appointment or at the
player’s work.
While a player may be
safe inside their house or
while they are are cheering on the Scrappers, the
moment they step outside
their house or into the
parking lot, the player becomes fair game - at least
for now.
“As the majority of participants are eliminated,
the rules may change
slightly to compensate
for the lack of players,”
Beavert explained. To take
out a target, a player must
shoot or hit their target
with a Nerf weapon above
the knees. Players are only
allowed to shoot their
targets and they can take
out the people targeting
them only if the person
targeting them initiates an
attack.
It’s only a game, but
some are taking it seriously with standoffs on church
lawns lasting over half an
hour and players hiding in
a their target’s yard to take
them out when they get
home from school.
“I am so paranoid
now,” participant Jessica
Murphy said. “I do not
even pump my own gas or
go into Walmart anymore
without my Nerf gun in
hand.”
Area residents can expect to see NHS students
duking it out with the Nerf
weapons for some time,
as only 10 of the 54 total
players who began the
games have been eliminated.
To the 44 who remain,
organizers would offer
the same advice proffered upon those who
participate in the games in
Collins’s novels: “May the
Odds Always be in your
Favor.”

Local man
arrested on
drug charge
Guilty plea entered during arraignment
despite claims of innocence in questioning
KATELYN COFFMAN | Nashville News
Jeremy Ross, Dennis Green, Mary Woodruff, Amy Sutton, Martha Ruchalski, Bob Jones, Ouida Terrell and Mike
Reese were on hand Tuesday for the grand opening of Landmark Insurance and Realty.
Landmark Insurance and Realty boasts
longtime industry veterans at its helm
reputable markets and we’re expecting to add to that, which gives
customers a good range and allows
us to shop the options to give our
customers the best coverage at the
best price,” said Ruchalski.
The company also hopes to be
able to give individuals knowledge
about the constantly-evolving
world of insurance.
“What’s difficult is educating
people about how insurance works.
They know they have to have it,
but they don’t always know why or
what their policy really is,” noted
Ruchalski.
Sutton added, “Even for agents,
it’s a constantly changing business.
We have to learn how to keep customers updated on the changes
they need.”
Ruchalski said she hopes that
Landmark Insurance and Realty
will be able to grow and that she
and Sutton can build an agency
with good service and competitive
rates in all types of insurance with
qualified and experienced agents in
the business.
KATELyN COFFmAN
Staff Writer
NASHVILLE - After being out of
the business for a short period of
time, Martha Ruchalski, who has
practiced selling insurance in the
area since 2009, has opened a new
agency, Landmark Insurance and
Realty, located directly behind the
Southern Belle Inn.
The agency has been open since
August 11, but recently had its
grand opening after the finishing
touch, its sign, was put in place.
Landmark Insurance and Realty is operated by individuals who
have, combined, over 40 years of
experience. Ruchalski has been in
the practice of selling insurance for
30 years while agent/office manager
Aimee Sutton has worked for 13.
These experts have been able to
combine forces and create an organization that allows individuals to
find an insurance policy tailored to
best fit them.
“We’re going to have good companies. We have obtained good,
For the last few months, Landmark Insurance and Realty has
observed an outpouring of support
from the community.
“Business has been really good,”
remarked Ruchalski. “We’ve been
really encouraged with the response from the public about opening the new agency.”
She and Sutton are extremely
thankful for that response and for
those who have been by their side
as they have embarked down this
new road of business.
“Our thanks to all our friends and
customers who have supported
us all in this venture, and we look
forward to building business relationships in the future,” the owner
praised.
The agency operates from 9
a.m. – 5 p.m. Mon. through Fri. and
Saturday’s by appointment only. It
offers all lines of insurance. Sutton
and Ruchalski encourages the public to call 870-845-3787 or drop by
the office, located at 691 Highway
27 S. Bypass, for a free quote or just
to meet them.

NASHVILLE - A Nashville
man was arrested Saturday
night after flagging down
police to complain about a
purchase he made, according to police reports.
Hubert Harris, Jr., 53, of
Nashville, waved down a
passing patrol car driven
by Nashville officer Justin Garner not long before midnight Saturday on
South Hutchinson St., according to Garner’s statement. The officer, speaking
to Harris, was reportedly
told that Harris needed
the officer’s assistance
in getting back $10 from
a person who sold him
“something that was not
what he wanted.”
Garner stated that Harris
was acting nervous, and
that he had blood on his
face from a small scratch.
Harris reportedly informed
the officer that the blood
was from a knife being held
to his throat by the person
who sold him the items.
Garner also said that he
noticed that Harris kept
his left hand balled in a fist
while speaking, and asked
to pat Harris down. In his
report, Garner stated that
he was concerned that
Harris might have a knife in
his hand. After being asked
several times to open his
hand, Harris did so, dropping three rock-like objects,
according to the report.
Garner’s statement says
that the substance was tested in the field and showed
positive for cocaine. Harris
was taken into custody on
a charge of possession of
methamphetamine or cocaine less than two ounces,
and transported to the
Howard County jail.
A subsequent statement
written by Nashville criminal investigator Larry Marion reported that Harris had
told Marion that he had not
worn the jacket he had on
the time of his arrest for the
past year, that he had found
the suspected cocaine in
the jacket’s pocket after
flagging down the officer
and concealed them in his
hand hoping that the officer
would not notice.
Upon arraignment in
the Howard County Circuit Court on Wednesday,
Harris immediately pled
guilty, and was sentenced
by Judge Tom Cooper to
six years in the Arkansas
Department of Correction,
with two years suspended.
