Clinic closed in Murfreesboro
By P.J. Tracy IV
Murfreesboro Diamond Editor
MURFREESBORO -- As soon as it appeared, it was gone.
Due to “restructuring and downsizing changes” by parent company Kare Partners of North Carolina, the decision was made last
week to close the Urgent Care of Pike County facility located at
325 West Main in Murfreesboro.
“It has not received the volume that was initially anticipated,”
said administrator Penny Campbell.
Any future ventures at this point are in question, as more data
is being collected about the area.
The decision to close Urgent Care may or may not have an impact upon the reopening of Pike County Memorial Hospital, which
was in the works by the same company.
“What the future of the hospital project is yet to be determined.
We’re going to process through this phase and we’ll know more
after that,” said Campbell.
Changes were reportedly also felt at the company’s other Arkansas rehabilitation locations in Glenwood and Hot Springs.
“I would hope they could find it in their heart to keep some sort
of urgent care facility open -- families need that in Murfreesboro,
Glenwood and Pike County,” said Justice of the Peace Johnny Plyler.
“I wish them the best, for the county needs urgent care, and
if they do, it would help sustain improvement of Murfreesboro,”
Plyler concluded.
Calls to the parent company in North Carolina were not returned. More information about the company can be seen at www.
compleatrehab.com.
Former patients of Urgent Care can call the clinic for any needed information.

controlled substance – methamphetamines and possession of a
controlled substance with purpose, entered a not guilty plea. The
public defender’s commission will appoint her legal representation for her scheduled trial on September 16.

a controlled substance – methamphetamines and possession of
drug paraphernalia, accepted Aaron Brasel as his legal representation, entered a not guilty plea, and will face trial on September

of a controlled substance – methamphetamines with purpose,

his legal representative, Pipkins entered a not guilty plea, and will
face trial on September 16. Pipkins has made his $25,000 bond and
will return to court on August 19 with an attorney.
Giovanni Orea, charged with forgery, will be notified of court
date by bondsman.
David Warner and Angela Campbell both made first appearances before the court on charges of domestic battery. The pair will
face the charges in District Court on September 6 and had individual bonds set at $495.00 each.
Alberto Hernandez, charged with public intoxication, domestic
battery, four counts of aggravated assault, criminal mischief, terroristic threatening and carrying a prohibited weapon, accepted
LaJeana Jones as his legal representation, and an interpreter was
requested for the Spanish speaking male. Additionally, a hold was
placed on Hernandez for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

CLINIC CLOSED ... The Urgent Care clinic in Murfreesboro was
closed last Friday due to restructuring by the parent company in
North Carolina. The sign in the window states “Pike County Urgent
Care is closed. If you have an emergency medical condition please
call 9-1-1 or go to the nearest emergency room.”
Recent rains erase most drought
conditions in Pike County
By P.J. Tracy IV
Murfreesboro Diamond Editor
MURFREESBORO – Rainfall in the second half of July has eliminated almost any trace of drought through much of Pike County.
The area received a significant amount of rain last month, with
Murfreesboro receiving 9.62 inches, according to www.weatherwarehouse.com. A National Weather Service map shows that 1214 inches fell in the Kirby-Amity area.
That amount for Murfreesboro almost surpasses the 10.24 inch
July total for the previous three years combined in 2010-2012.
Statewide, rain over the last two weeks has made a marked improvement in the U.S. Drought Monitor map, with the area covered by drought in Arkansas dropping from about 91 percent last
week to 71 percent in last week’s map.
Additionally, there’s a noticeable difference on the burn ban
map, with just one county -- Lincoln -- with a burn ban in effect
as of last week. Wildfire danger is moderate in most of the state,
according to www.arkfireinfo.org.
Pike county was under a burn ban for about a weeklong period
in the middle of the month, but several heavy rains have eased
any immediate concerns.
County Judge Don Baker labeled July as “wonderful,” denoting
the aid to area ranchers and farmers – especially in the area of
hay production. “Now, if we can just avoid armyworms,” he said.
Relatively lower temperatures have helped the cause additionally, with no highs over 96 degrees and lows into the fifties in the
month of July.

What do Crater rough
diamonds actually look like?
BY MARGI JENKS
Every day as I talk to
visitors one question always comes up. “What
do the diamonds look like
when people find them
out on our search field?” I
sometimes wonder if some
visitors are looking for cut
diamonds, because they
have never seen a rough
diamond. However, I believe that Crater diamonds
are sometimes even more
beautiful than the average
cut diamond. Our Arkansas diamonds have several
characteristics that help
people know when they
have found a diamond.
The first and most
prominent characteristic
is the natural shine. When
I show visitors samples
of our diamonds they almost always say something like “But you must
have cleaned, polished,
or in some way made the
diamonds shine.” However, I always reply that
“the shine that you see is
exactly as it came out of
the diamond field. So, that
shine is what you are looking for out on the search
field.” Some people call
the shine metallic or pearl-

like. I personally believe,
after seeing hundreds of
diamonds, that they glow.
Many people say that a
rough diamond looks shiny
like a quartz crystal or a
piece of glass. However,
if you put either of those
next to a diamond, the
diamond always wins the
shine contest. Also, visitors think that they won’t
be able to see that shine
because the diamond will
be covered with dirt. However, diamonds have no
static electrical charge.
The crystal structure of
the diamond molecules
Dear Preacher: “Is is not
true that ‘the end times’
refer only to the day of
judgment?”
My Bible doesn’t speak
of “end times.” It does
refer to “the last days.”
Peter speaks of this in his
sermon on Pentecost. “But this
is that which was spoken by the
prophet Joel: And it shall be in the
last days,” God says, “that I will
pour forth of my spirit upon all
mankind; and your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy, and
your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream
dreams” (Acts 2: 16-17). Peter
says the events of Pentecost were
the fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy.
That tells us that Peter, inspired
takes up all the electrons,
so there aren’t any free
electrons to set up a static
charge. So, the shine won’t
be hidden, because dirt
and water do not cling to
diamonds.
The second characteristic is the rounded shape
of most Crater diamonds.
Unlike the cube, dodecahedron and octahedron
“diamond” shapes of most
of the world’s diamonds,
Crater diamonds are
24-sided or tetrahexahedrons. Twenty-four sides
give a shape that is close
to a circle, thus giving our
diamonds their rounded
shape. We have lots of
other mineral crystals out
on the field, like calcite,
quartz, and barite. Those
crystals all have shapes
that give them sharp edges
and points.
The third characteristic
that generally helps us
identify diamonds is the
fact that you should be
able to see into them. We
have lots of lovely rounded
jasper rocks on our search
field. It doesn’t take long
to be able to distinguish
those jaspers. Although
they are somewhat shiny,
especially when wet, jaspers are opaque to very
slightly translucent. Diamonds are actually clear,
but they tend not to appear clear because of that
natural shine. If you take
a good look at a diamond
set in a piece of jewelry,
you will notice that you
can’t see the gem’s setting through the diamond.
Diamonds are cut in a way
that actually enhances
that natural shine. So, you
should be able to see into a
diamond, but it won’t look
clear like a piece of glass or
a good quartz crystal.
Finally, diamonds are famously hard crystals. So,

a simple scratch test with
anything metal, like a nail
file, pocket knife, or car
keys, will distinguish diamonds from the calcite and
barite crystals commonly
found by most visitors. If,
with only a little pressure,
you can scratch a white
powder or break a crystal,
then it is definitely not a
diamond. However, most
people do not realize that
diamonds are also brittle.
This characteristic means
that with any real amount
of force or pressure, like
hitting it with a rock, a
diamond will break. That
would be a sad ending to
any diamond find.
My best advice is to
prospective visitors is that

The “last days” do not

usher in His ultimate plan to save

are the “last days” (Heb. 1:1-2)

Who’s Who
Recently, I was lifted up,
inspired and enthused by
what my convictions have
been for a long time. Our
young people, contrary to
the thoughts of a very few,
represent the best generation of people we have in our
great nation.
Quite often people in
such minority will make a
mistaken observation of our
nation’s future. “Well, I just
don’t know what our young
people are coming to.”
In the graduation exercises, of this passing year,
held in Rattler Stadium, the
Valedictorian and Salutatorian addresses of Honor
Graduates. For Murfreesboro and Delight (South
Pike County School District)
expressed their feelings of
having reached a new and
high plateau in life.
Their expressions of
thanks went to the many
who had contributed so
much to their accomplishments of the past thirteen
years, from Kindergarten
through their senior year.
The spirit of a thankful heart
is the character of a righteous person who can be
trusted with the important
things of life.
Co-Valedictorian, Katie Alexander, noting that
the chances are inevitable
in life and how we handle
the change is essential to
success. Sometimes those
changes teach us that important things may become
unimportant and the unimportant may move to the
front.
“Over the past four years,
I have learned that knowledge isn’t as important as
wisdom, accomplishments
aren’t as important as experiences, and success isn’t
measured by the things
we have done in life, but
the impact we have had on
someone else’s life. What
really matters is the way we
like our lives and the way
we treat each other people.”
She quoted Matthew 6:33,
which says, “Seek ye first
the Kingdom of God and His
righteousness and all these
things shall be added unto
you.”
Katie continued by thanking her parents for their support and encouragement,
the teachers that labored on
her behalf, and then closed
her address by wishing her
classmates “All happiness in
God’s blessings.”
How much better our
world would be if our older
and often bitter generations
could harbor in their hearts
such an attitude as Katie’s.
There is more, Joe Gatliff,
in his speech said, “I wish I
could stay with you another
year. However, I am glad
to climax the past thirteen
years. I want to thank my
Mom and the other women
of our household, my teachers, the lunchroom ladies,
the custodians, the coaches;
they helped me to the honor
of two State Quiz Bowl rings.
Tomorrow the change will
come. Make some goals and
achieve them quickly for
life is not guaranteed. Keep
your friends and your Bible
closer.”
Joe closed his thoughts
with a quote from Dr. Seuss,
“Don’t be sad it’s over, be glad
it happened. I love you all
and good luck in the future.”
Co-Salutatorian speaker, Haley Lee, opened with the recognition of fellow students,
faculty, staff, parents, family
and friends. “We are blessed
to see and share this day
together. We have encountered many changes, faced
obstacles, trials and tribulations. Through dedication
we have accomplished our
goal and we look forward to
a new and wonderful chapter in our lives. Thank all of
you, our future is an exciting
and will be as memorable as
the past. I pray we will go in
the direction we are meant
to travel, one day at a time.
Remember this: you are better than you think, stronger
than you seem and smarter
than you think. Thank you.”
Co-Salutatorian, Jamie
Lynn Gills spoke: “Around
me I see those who made me
what I am as a young person
today. Family members,
administration, teachers,
brothers and sisters and
friends, who have taught me
what I will carry throughout life, three things I have
learned: one, I am an individual; two, stay true to the
morals and values you have
been taught; three, never
limit yourself. Do not let
failure destroy you. Edison
failed many times before fi-
nally producing a light bulb.
Challenges are not setbacks
but, opportunities. As I make
the best of life, God will graciously bless me.
Thanks Mom and Dad
and my baby sister, your
sacrifices have allowed me
this point tonight. Tonight
we choose the direction
of our lives. Tomorrow we
begin writing a new chapter
in our life’s book. It is up to
us what it will say. Class of
2013 -- Let’s make our story
a good one.”
In summation-- if the
thoughts and attitude of
this senior class could be
carried on throughout life,
what a grand creation of God
we would enjoy.
Youth is a time of thought
and preparation. Because of
our parents, teachers, guidance counselors, churches,
friends and employers, we
have learned much about
life.
It is too bad as we get
older we tend to lose some
of our zeal in life to achieve
and above all to serve our
Lord and God and be a friend
to all.
As a guest of our local school, to be involved
with school academics, the
sports program and other
duties, I am and have been
convinced for some time
that our young people are
always the future of our
country. If we could maintain
the dreams and aspirations
of our young people the dark
headlines of our morning
newspapers would disappear and life would become
a peaceful joy.

AGFC fishing report for week of August 4
Fishing Highlight of the
Week: The dog days of
summer are here and fishing is getting tougher by
the week. The key is to be
patient and find the fish in
deep water. This tactic paid
off for an Arkansan fisherman this past week on Harris Brake Lake. The talk all
over the lake is about a 10+
being pulled from a deep
channel on the lake.

Two cows are grazing in a ield. One
cow says, “Aren’t you worried about mad
cow disease?” The other cow replies, “not Bro. Jerry Hill
me, I’m a squirrel.” Through the years we
have asked a number of people “Are you a Christian?” The replies have varied and, in some cases, I
am sure, they have been wrong. To be a Christian, is
to be an imitator and follower of the Christ. Peter, in
II Peter one, tells us he is writing to people of faith.
Peter goes on to list things pertaining to spiritual
life and Godliness. We are told to add to our faith
the following things: Virtue, Knowledge, Temperance, Patience, Brotherly Kindness and Love. Peter
says that if these things, which are fruits of the Holy
Spirit living and working in us show themselves in
our lives, we are Christians. He is not talking about
salvation, he is talking about glorifying God in our
lives and having assurance and joy in our hearts. II
Peter 1:10, “…give diligence to make your calling
and election sure: for if ye do these
things, ye shall never fail.” I now
ask not are you saved, but, are you
a Christian?”

From punishment to education
AGFC fine money comes
back to Pike County
LITTLE ROCK -- When
the Arkansas Game and
Fish Commission (AGFC)
collects fines from game law
convictions, the money goes
back to the county where it
was collected. The money
is used to fund educational
programs focused on fish,
wildlife and conservation
in the counties where the
offenses occurred.
And, according to commission figures, Pike County
ranks third in the state for
the most returned funds.
During fiscal year 2013,
more than $632,000 was
collected in fines statewide.
The highest amount of fine
money went to Baxter County with just over $24,000,
followed by Benton County
with more than $21,000 in
fines, and Pike County followed with 18,507.94.
The Pike County Quorum Court will allocate all
fine money to their school
districts and conservation
district, as the AGFC and
the Arkansas Department
of Education do not have a
role in determining which
programs are funded. School
and conservation district
officials must contact the
Quorum Court with requests
for fine revenue and suggestions concerning the
best method of distributing
funding.
Fine money may be used
only for AGFC programs.
The Arkansas Department
of Education and the AGFC
have established school programs for fish and wildlife
conservation and for other
purposes consistent with
the AGFC’s mission.
The following AGFC programs meet the criteria for
funding:
•฀ Arkansas฀ Has฀ It฀ All฀
Workshops and Professional
Development for teachers.

•฀Arkansas฀Youth฀Shooting Sports Program
•฀Boating฀Education฀฀

•฀ Specialized฀ AGFC฀ conservation education or educator training workshops
focused on the programs
above (a partnership with
county conservation districts). Contact Pat Knighten
at AGFC, 870-917-2085.
Funds also may be used
by educators to take students on field trips to AGFC
nature centers and conservation education centers.

4-h summer programs a success
By Avonne Petty
4-H Program Assistant
MURFREESBORO - Pike County 4-H’ers collected 387 nonperishable food items for distribution across the county.
Thanks to everyone who donated items at Wright’s, Rehkopfs, Dunlaps, McKnight’s and the Langley Church. State
Ambassador, Ryann Grubbs spearheaded this project with
help from other Ambassadors; Heather Jackson, Derek
Vaughn, and Reagan Grubbs. Cammie York also helped.
The last of 4-H summer programs were held on July 31st
in Murfreesboro. The summer started with a Cloverbud/
Junior Day camp. Teen members presented programs for
the younger members teaching them about 4-H and what
they need to do to become a “super 4-H’er.” Programs included: “How to Prepare a Powerpoint Presentation, Electrical Circuits, the State BBQ Contest, Rabbits, Goats, Fizzing and Foaming, Fireworks Safety, Photography, Diabetes,
and 1-2-3 Cake.”
Our second program was “Teen Day” just for members
13 – 18 years old. Programs included “Table Manners, Writing Thank-You Notes, Getting Ready for State O-Rama, and
simple Dance Steps.” A meal of Simple Cheddar Loaves,
Stuffed Baked Potatoes, Omelets, and Peach Cobbler was
prepared by the youth. Sarah Smith presented a program
on her recent mission trip to the Phillipines.
We finished off the summer with 4-H Fun Day. This is a
day of activities led by members. They plan, prepare materials for, and conduct workshops. Our Ambassadors kept
the day’s activities running smoothly. They started with
get acquainted games. Alec Pettigrew presented a workshop where everyone made a “Lava Lamp”. Kolt Petty
demonstrated chemical reactions with “ Elephant Toothpaste”. Former 4-H’er, Sarah Smith, showed her presentation on the mission trip to the Phillipines and thanked the
members for their donations. She said the small toys were
great because those children had never received toys. Elizabeth Evans and Skylar Bostic did programs on “Cats and
Dogs”. Heather Jackson showed the” New Rules of Safety
in a Tornado” and conducted a fun game. Cammie York
presented a safety program on Smoke Alarms. Everyone
learned to “Make Your Own Boxes” in a workshop taught
by Maria Eatmon. Baylie Clay showed her baby goats and
presented a program on “Taking Care of and Showing Your
Goat” and conducted a craft workshop on “Bugs”. Reagan
Grubbs showed “Tissue Paper Art. “Derek Vaughn conducted a “Trust Activity.” 4-H Program Assistant, Avonne
Petty, finished off the day’s activities with a program on
“The Civil War in Pike County”.
For further information about the 4-H program, contact
the County Extension Office in Murfreesboro or call 870285-2161. 4-H is open to all youth between the ages of 5-19
without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, gender, or disability. You may email me at apetty@uaex.edu.

In an article published in the July 31, 2013 issue of the
Murfreesboro Diamond, Karsten Strickland’s relationship
to McKayla Wood was incorrectly reported due to typographical error.
The article should have stated that Wood was the mother of Strickland.
BIRTHDAY WISHES ... A surprise birthday party was held by the employees of Inkcredible for business owner Suzie King
in honor of her fiftieth birthday on July 23. Pictured (L to R) is King’s mother “Grape”, King, Randy King, K.J. Stoner, Michael
Fagan and Chris Davis. Fagan also pointed out that the Diamond needed to relay belated birthday wishes to him as well for his
recent birthday on July 16.
