THURSDAY • October 23, 2014 • Issue 85 • 1 Section • 14 Pages • USPS 371-540 • 75 cents • PUBLISHED EACH MONDAY & THURSDAY In Howard County, Arkansas since 1878 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.” Breast cancer event scheduled Greater Memorial COGIC of Ashdown will host a breast cancer seminar Sat., Oct. 25 at 12:30 p.m. Instructor Karen Stead, RN, of Little River Hospital will host the free event along with Supt. Rovert Roy of Lewisville, pastor at the church. Trick or treat space still available Those wishing to participate in the Nashville City Park’s trick or treat trail still have time to sign up for a “boo-spot,” where businesses, organizations or individuals can provide candy or activities for those who attend the annual event. “We have around 1,500 – 2,000 people at this event and need your help,” Park Director Nikki Cherry said Wednesday via press release. “We will provide you with a 10x10 or larger space and electricity for your ‘boo-spot.’” The trick or treat trail will be held Thurs., Oct. 30 from 5-7 p.m. For more information or to reserve a “boo-spot,” contact the park at 845-7405. Umpire to host BBQ supper Oct. 28 Umpire High School booster club will host a barbeque sandwich supper before the Wildcats’ irst home game against Nevada County Tues., Oct. 28. The dinner will feature coleslaw, chips, dessert and a drink in addition to the sandwich, and comes at a cost of $5 per plate. Serving begins at 4 p.m. with the game to follow at 5 p.m. County’s three school districts, which receive 86 percent of the money, the county general fund, the county road fund, and the county library system. Morris said if the shortfall remains unpaid, it will affect each recipient of tax money in proportion with the amount they are supposed to receive. Those paying taxes after the Oct. 15 deadline are subject to a 10 percent penalty fee, plus interest on any unpaid real estate tax. Area business leader passes away Pastor, wife event set at Schaal Bright Star Missionary Baptist Church, located in Schaal, will host a pastor and wife anniversary Sun., Oct. 26 beginning at 2:30 p.m. The guest speaker will be Pastor Rico Boyd of Munn Chapel in Prescott. County Judge Kevin Smith said Wednesday he isn’t particularly worried about the shortfall and believes county residents will eventually make the needed payments. “It’s just a matter of people paying their taxes. We haven’t got any control over that. Basically, when they pay them, we’ll get them,” he said. “Next month, we expect everything to be OK. Everything should come in.” Property tax revenues are divided between Howard CHARLES GOODIN Editor T LUKE REEDER n Staff Writer 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 See FUN | Page 11 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 See FRITTS | Page 11 Scrapper netters compete at state 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. friends. He 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. “Bill Fritts was Larry White’s mentor for turning LUKE REEDER Staff Writer D.E.

ARKADELPHIA - Monday marked the last match of the season for the Scrapper tennis team. It also marked the end of a historic season for the team as Matthew Carver, and the doubles teams of Caleb Glann and Robbie Morphew, Garrett and Glenn Hartness and Brittany Backus and Olivia Herzog competed in the state tournament.This was the first year for the team of Backus and Herzog to play together and it was Herzog’s first year to even play the sport. “Before this season started I barely knew how to play the game, so it was great to accomplish something so big as making it to state,” said Herzog, whose team lost in the first round 1-6, 1-6. “It was only my second See TENNIS | Page 11 2 Editorial The Nashville News | Online at http://www.nashvillenews.org | Call: 1-888-845-6397 | Thursday, October 23, 2014 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. nnn Dr. Kenneth Bridges, a History Professor at South Arkansas Community College in El Dorado, can be reached at [email protected].

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.

Voting precincts, circumstances of death inaccurately reported In the special election section that appeared in the Mon., Oct. 20 edition of the Nashville News, the Madison and Mountain, Holly Creek and Muddy Fork voting precincts were incorrectly reported as voting at the Umpire Community Building.

In the Thurs., Oct. 16 edi- tion of the Nashville News, it was incorrectly reported that Howard County Sheriff’s Deputies discovered Dr. Robert Sykes dead in his home. Sykes was discovered by his spouse. Sheriff Butch Morris confirmed the death for the paper, but deputies did not discover the death. The Nashville News apologizes for any confusion brought about by the errors. Kelsey David “Sonny” Rodgers was the tenth child of the late Fred Rodgers and Maggie Nunally Rodgers.

Community 5 Thursday, October 23, 2014 | The Nashville News | Online at http://www.nashvillenews.org | Call: 1-888-845-6397 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.

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: • heard a report on the 2013 water and sewer audit, which turned up no major findings; •approvedthecontinued payment of $115,000 annually to Howard County Jail. 209 N.

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.

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.

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 CHARLES GOODIN | Nashville News Darius Hopkins rushes for positive yardage last Friday during the Scrappers’ win over Ashdown. 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. DEIRDRE DOVE | Nashville News Outlaw quarterback Tyler Kesterson pushes ahead for a gain last Friday during the Outlaws’ loss to the Lafayette County Cougars. 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.” D.E. RAY | Nashville News 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. 10 Community The Nashville News | Online at http://www.nashvillenews.org | Call: 1-888-845-6397 | Thursday, October 23, 2013 Nashville News remains mostread paper in Howard County hot dog dinner Paper has 48 percent more subscribers than competitor D.E.

Kevin Smith, Howard County Judge ATTEST: Brenda Washburn, Howard County Clerk (HCC;85;w244) October 20, 2014 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.” PUBLIC NOTICE IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF HOWARD COUNTY, ARKANSAS CIVIL DIVISION ROBERT WITHERSPOON PLAINTIFF vs. CV-2014-62-1 ANY UNKNOWN PERSON CLAIMING AN INTEREST DEFENDANT IN THE PROPERTY AT ISSUE NOTICE OF QUIET TITLE ACTION Notice is hereby given that a Petition has been iled in the ofice of the Circuit Clerk of Howard County, Arkansas to quiet and conirm title in and to the following described property in Howard County, Arkansas: A part of the SE ¼ of the SE ¼ of Section 16, Township 10 South, Range 27 West, Howard County, Arkansas and being more particularly described as follows: BEGINNING at a 1/2” rod with plastic cap found for the SE corner of the SE ¼ of the SE ¼ of Section 16, Township 10 South, Range 27 West and run thence N 88°25’30”W 335.31 feet along the southerly boundary of Section 16 and also along an existing white painted line to a 1/2” rod set, leaving the section line run thence N 70°07’ 05”W 1062.85 feet along an old fence, and still with the white painted line to a 1/2” rod set on the westerly boundary of the SE ¼ of the SE ¼ of Section 16, said point also being located S 70°07’05”E 15.18 feet from a found 1.5” solid rod painted white, leaving the white painted line run thence N 1°02’16”E 987.58 feet along the westerly boundary of the said SE ¼ of the SE ¼ to a 1/2” rod set for the NW corner of the same, run thence S 88°23’48”E 917.79 feet along the northerly boundary of the SE ¼ of the SE ¼ to a 1/2” rod set at a point that is 11.8 feet north of an existing barbed wire fence, leaving the forty line run thence S 0°53’ 18”W 420.00 feet to a 1/2” rod set, run thence S 88°23’48”E 210.00 feet to a 1/2” rod set, run thence S 0°53’18”W 210.00 feet to a 1/2” rod set, run thence S 88°23’48”E 210.00 feet to a 1/2” rod set on the easterly boundary of the SE ¼ of the SE ¼ of Section 16, run thence S 0°53’18”W 320.82 feet along the above said forty line to a 1/2” rod set, leaving the section line run thence N 88°25’30”W 210.00 feet to a 1/2” rod set, run thence S 0°53’18”W 210.00 feet to a 1/2” rod set, run thence S 88°25’30”E 210.00 feet to a 1/2” rod set, this point being located on the easterly boundary of Section 16, run thence S 0°53’18”W 160.00 feet along the section lane back to the POINT OF BEGINNING, containing 30.695 acres more or less.

RAY | Nashville News 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.

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.” MINERAL SPRINGS, OFFICE BUILDING FOR LEASE. 1100 SF, NEWLY REMODELED.

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.
