NASHVILLE - A Dierks
man accused of raping his
foster daughter was sentenced to 25 years in the
Arkansas Department of
Correction with seven suspended Wednesday in Howard County Circuit Court.
Maron Ray Bohon, 51,
received the sentence after
pleading guilty to a single
charge of rape. He was also
ordered to pay court costs
and a DNA fee.
The charge against Bohon
stems from an investigation
that began Sept. 25 of last
year, when court documents
state Arkansas State Police
Investigator Kristi Williamson interviewed a 16 year
old girl who said she had
sex with Bohon “at least two
times” at his home in Dierks.

case file, police received a
call from Bohon’s wife on
Oct. 3 stating that he had
called her and admitted to
having sex with the 16 year
old girl.
“He told her that he was
worried about going to
prison,” police allege in the
arrest narrative. “She ask
[sic] him how many times
this had happened and he
told her that it didn’t matter,
but he had done it ... Bohon
told his wife he was going
to cash his check and leave
out. He even told his wife at
one point that he was going
to kill himself.”
The conversation between police and Bohon’s
wife was recorded as evidence, according to court
documents, and the alleged
victim’s phone was also
taken as evidence.
Bohon previously plead
not guilty to the charge in
October of last year.

NASHVILLE - A local
teacher and community
activist has filed to challenge incumbent zone three
Justice of the Peace Dick
Wakefield in the upcoming
Democratic primary.
Kim Dunham, a Center
Point native, said Thursday
that she was inspired to run
for the seat out of a desire
to “carry on the legacy” of
her community and not specifically to unseat Wakefield,
who is nearing completion of
his first term in the position.
“I just want to be a responsible civic citizen here.
I moved back home with
the intent to be active in my
community and I feel like
this is a way for me to be a
voice for people in the area
that I live in,” she explained.
“I’ve never run for a public
office of this stature before,
however with my military
experience and the things
that I’ve done there I feel like
I’m well capable.”
A 1991 graduate of Nashville High School, Dunham
received a bachelor’s degree from the University
of Arkansas at Pine Bluff in
1997 and spent four years
as a commissioned officer
in the United States Army
before returning to Howard
County. Today, she serves as
President
of the Center Point
Renewal
Committee
and on the
b o a rd o f
DUNHAM
directors
for the Center Point Homecoming Association and
Cemetery Association.
Dunham said her campaign for Justice of the Peace
will be focused primarily
around road improvement
and increasing the presence of law enforcement in
her area.
“We have a lot of children
in those areas now. Our bus
routes are full of children so
I want to focus on recreation
and beautification of our
community,” she explained.
“We’ve had several breakins and, even though the
area is small, we’ve had an
increase in population so
we want to make sure our
citizens are safe.”
Dunham married the late
Robert Dunham, who was
killed in Iraq in 2007, and the
couple produced two sons,
12 year old Robert and nine
year old Noel. The family
are members of New Life in
Jesus Christ Church, where
Dunham is a youth leader
and serves on the praise
team. She is also a fourth
grade ESL teacher at Nashville Elementary School.
Mineral Springs man arrested on drug charges
MINERAL SPRINGS - A
local man was arrested
Thursday on multiple drug
charges.
According to a statement
issued by Sheriff Butch Morris, 24 year old Justin D. Hopkins was taken into custody
around 9:30 p.m. after Deputy
Travis Turner observed a vehicle driving on the shoulder
of Highway 27.
“Deputy Turner made a
traffic stop on the vehicle
and identified the driver as
[Hopkins],” Morris said in the
statement. “Deputy Turner
asked Hopkins why he was
driving on the shoulder of the
road and Hopkins stated that
he was not used to driving
that vehicle and something
was wrong with the steering.”
The statement further
alleges that Turner obtained
consent to search the vehicle
and noticed a bulge in Hop-
kins’ front left pocket as he
was exiting the vehicle.
“Deputy Turner asked
Hopkins what was in his
pocket and Hopkins pulled
out a clear plastic bag containing a crystal rock like
substance believed to be
methamphetamine,” Morris
said. “Deputy Turner found
a clear plastic bag containing suspected marijuana and
$920 in cash on Hopkins.”
Additionally, Turner discovered a set of digital scales
in the console of the vehicle,
the statement alleges.
Hopkins was arrested
and transported to Howard
County Jail, where he faces
charges of possessing marijuana, possessing methamphetamine with purpose to
deliver and possession of
drug paraphernalia.
His bond has been set at
$50,000.

2 Editorial
Hillary & Hitler
In assessing the motives and actions of Vladimir Putin,
Hillary Clinton compared them to Adolf Hitler's. Almost
always a mistake.
After 12 years in power, Hitler was dead, having slaughtered millions and conquered
Europe from the Atlantic to
Pat
the Urals. And Putin? After 13
years in power, and facing a Buchanan
crisis in Ukraine, he directed
Creators
his soldiers in the Crimea
to take control of the small Syndicate
peninsula where Russia has
berthed its Black Sea fleet
since Napoleon.
To the Wall Street Journal this is a "blitzkrieg."
But as of now, this is a less bloody affair than Andrew
Jackson's acquisition of our Florida peninsula. In 1818, Gen.
Jackson was shooting Indians, putting the Spanish on boats
to Cuba and hanging Brits. And we Americans loved it. Still,
there are parallels between what motivates Putin, a Russian nationalist, and what motivated the Austrian corporal.
Hitler's war began in blazing resentment at what was done
to Germany after Nov. 11, 1918.
The Kaiser's armies had defeated the Russian Empire, and
the Italians at Caporetto, and fought the Western Allies to a
stand still in France, until two million Americans turned the
tide in 1918. When Berlin accepted an armistice on President
Wilson's Fourteen Points, not a single Allied soldier stood
on German soil.
But, at Paris, the Allies proceeded to tear a disarmed
Germany apart. The whole German Empire was confiscated.
Eupen and Malmedy were carved out of Germany and given
to Belgium. Alsace-Lorraine was taken by France. South Tyrol
was severed from Austria and given to Italy. A new Czechoslovakia was given custody of 3.25 million Sudeten Germans.
The German port of Danzig was handed over to the new
Poland, which was also given an 80-mile wide strip cut out
of Germany from Silesia to the sea, slicing her in two.
The Germans were told they could not form an economic
union with Austria, could not have an army of more than
100,000 soldiers, and could not put soldiers west of the
Rhine, in their own country. Perhaps this Carthaginian peace
was understandable given the Allied losses. It was also madness if the Allies wanted an enduring peace.
Gen. Hans Von Seeckt predicted what would happen.
When we regain our power, he said, "we will naturally take
back everything we lost."
When Hitler came to power in 1933, he wrote off the lands
lost to Belgium, France and Italy — he wanted no war with
the West — but set out to recapture lost German lands and
peoples in the East.
He imposed conscription in 1935, sent his soldiers back
into the Rhineland in 1936, annexed Austria in 1938, demanded and got the return of the Sudeten Germans from
Czechoslovakia at Munich in 1938.
He then sought to negotiate with the Polish colonels,
who had joined in carving up Czechoslovakia, a return of
Danzig, when the British issued a war guarantee to Warsaw
stiffening Polish spines.
Enraged by Polish intransigence, Hitler attacked. Britain
and France declared war. The rest is history. What has this
to do with Putin?
He, too, believes his country was humiliated and shabbily
treated after the Cold War, and sees himself as protector
of the ethnic Russians left behind when the Soviet Union
came apart.
Between 1989 and 1991, Mikhail Gorbachev had freed
the captive nations of Eastern Europe, allowed the Soviet
Union to dissolve into 15 nations, and had held out a hand
of friendship to the Americans.
What did we do? Moved NATO right onto Russia's front
porch. We brought all the liberated nations of Eastern
Europe into our military alliance, along with three former
Soviet republics.
The War Party tried to bring Georgia and Ukraine into
NATO, which was established to contain and, if necessary,
fight Russia. Had they succeeded, we could have been at
war with Russia in 2008 over Georgia and South Ossetia,
and today over Crimea.
Now we hear new calls for Ukraine and Georgia to be
brought into NATO. Are these people sane?
Five U.S. presidents who faced far more violent actions
by a far more dangerous Soviet Union — Truman, Ike, JFK,
Johnson, Reagan — refused even to threaten force against
Russia for anything east of the Elbe river.
These presidents ruled out force during the Berlin Blockade of 1948, the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, the building
of the Berlin Wall in 1961, the Warsaw Pact invasion of
Czechoslovakia in 1968, and the smashing of Solidarity in
Poland in 1981.
Yet, today, we are committed to go to war for Lithuania
and Estonia, Obama is sending F-16s to Latvia where half a
million Russians live, and the War Party wants Sixth Fleet
warships moved into the Black Sea.
If there is a Cold War II, or a U.S.-Russia war, historians
of tomorrow will as surely point to the Bushes and Clintons
who shoved NATO into Moscow's face, as historians today
point to the men of Paris who imposed the Versailles treaty
upon a defeated Germany in 1919.

The face of IRS behavior
WASHINGTON -- What’s
been said of confession -that it is good for one’s soul
but bad for one’s reputation
-- can also be true of testifying to Congress, so Lois
Lerner has chosen to stay
silent. Hers, however, is an
eloquent silence.
The most intrusive and
potentially most punitive
federal agency has been politicized; the IRS has become
an appendage of Barack
Obama’s party. Furthermore,
congruent with exhortations
from some congressional
Democrats, it is intensifying its efforts to suffocate
groups critical of progressives, by delaying what once
was the swift, routine granting of tax-exempt status.
So, the IRS, far from repenting of its abusive behavior, is trying to codify
the abuses. It hopes to nullify with new rules the existing legal right of 501(c)(4)
groups, many of which are
conservative, to participate
in politics. The proposed
rules have drawn more than
140,000 comments, most of
them complaints, some from
liberals wary of IRS attempts
to broadly define “candidaterelated political activity” and
to narrow the permissible
amount of this.
Lerner is, so far, the face
of this use of government to
punish political adversaries.
She knows what her IRS unit
did and how it intersects
with the law, and for a second time she has exercised
GEORGE
WILL
Washington
Post
her constitutional right to
remain silent rather than
risk self-incrimination. The
public has a right to make
reasonable inferences from
her behavior.
And from Obama’s. After calling the IRS behavior
“outrageous,” he now says
there is not a “smidgen” of
evidence of anything to be
outraged about. He knows
this even though the supposed investigation of the
IRS behavior has not been
completed, or perhaps even
begun. The person he chose
to investigate his administration is an administration
employee and a generous
donor to his campaigns.
Obama breezily says
there was nothing more
sinister than “boneheaded
decisions” by wayward and
anonymous IRS underlings.
Certainly boneheadedness
explains much about this
administration. Still, does
he consider it interesting
that the consequences of
IRS boneheadedness were
not randomly distributed,
but thwarted conservatives?
The IRS rules that Obama
says befuddled the IRS boneheads -- to his benefit -- read
today exactly as they have
read since 1959. For half a
century they did not prevent
the IRS from processing applications for tax-exempt
status in less than three
months. Some conservative
group should offer $10,000
to anyone who can identify
a liberal group that had the
experience scores of conservative groups have had -- an
application delayed more
than three years and receipt
of an IRS questionnaire containing at least 60 questions.
Speaking of questions:
Can anyone identify a
Democratic Senate candidate whose tax records
were leaked, as Christine
O’Donnell’s were when she
was the Republican candidate in Delaware in 2010?
Is it a coincidence that in
January 2011, after Catherine Engelbrecht requested
tax-exempt status for two
conservative groups she
founded in Texas -- King
Street Patriots and True the
Vote -- the Engelbrecht family
business was notified of its
first IRS audit? Does James
Comey wonder why (this
was before he became FBI
director), five months after
Engelbrecht’s tax-exemption
request, FBI agents appeared
seeking information about
attendees at the King Street
Patriots meetings? Were five
subsequent FBI contacts
“checking in” for “updates”
on the group’s activities
really necessary? Why did
the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration
and the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives show a sudden intrusive interest in the Engelbrechts’ business, which has
nothing to do with alcohol
or tobacco or firearms or
explosives?
The idea that politicians
should write laws restricting people critical of them
is as perverse as the idea
that the sprawling, opaque
IRS bureaucracy should be
assigned to construe and
apply such laws. It is bad
enough that there is the misbegotten Federal Election
Commission to do what the
First Amendment forbids -government regulation of the
quantity, content and timing
of political speech.
This column has previously noted that in 1996
a Republican Senate candidate called the FEC to
dispute campaign finance
charges made by Democrats.
The head of the FEC’s enforcement division told the
Republican: “Promise me
you will never run for office
again, and we will drop this
case.” So spoke Lois Lerner.
There almost certainly
are people, above her and
beyond the IRS, who initiated or approved the IRS’
punitive targeting of conservative groups, and who hope
Lerner’s history of aggressive partisanship will cause
investigators to conclude
that she is as high as responsibility for the targeting rises.
Those people should hire
criminal defense attorneys.

Students reflect on trip to News office
Dear Mr. Graves and Staff,
Mr. Graves, I can honestly thank
you for allowing my semi-rowdy
class and I to observe and learn more
about the importance of spreading
the news to others. And, on a side
note, I particularly enjoyed your
impressive speech before the tour
started. The way you started to get
worked up about how the world
treats the children of our generation
and how I should be. It was inspiring, as well as rejuvenating, to hear
anyone older tell us how important
we already are, not how important
we will be.
Mr. Graves’ staff, the way you do
your jobs is incredible, seamlessly
working hard every day, just so we
have our news. Thanks to your hard
work we have tourist come and enjoy the events we hold. And for this
newspaper company to have stayed
open for this long independently is
extremely awe-inspiring. So I cannot
simply express my gratitude towards
your selfless-ness by mere words,
but by inspiring myself to work as
hard as you.
Sincerely,
Joespeh Mykall McLaughlin
Dear Mrs. Donna Harwell,
Thank you for your much needed
time helping me and my class understand the nature of your job
and what it takes to work at a news
station. I really appreciated the tour
of the facility, including the incredible printing press that prints the
newspaper that not only our town,
but surrounding communities read
and enjoy.
I would also like to tell you how
impressively close you and your
staff is. For a place that has to get
work done first, simply for the
importance of our news, it would
appear that you can still enjoy the
day ad have a few laughs. And, it
appears that ya’ll have resurrected
interest in journalism, rekindling
the natural enjoyment of spreading
the news for those who don’t have
social networking, or just enjoy that
old fashioned feeling caused from
the way the paper feels, smells, even
the sound of the wrinkling paper. For
that, I thank you.
Sincerely,
Joseph MyKall McLaughlin
Dear Mr. Graves,
Thank you for allowing our class
to tour your facilities. When we arrived, I expected your opening words
to be something about the newspaper; however, they were words of
wisdom. I can tell that you are really
concerned about young people. As
a young adult, I want to say thanks
for caring.
I really enjoyed the visit and I hope
that Nashville will continue to have
such a great newspaper. Keep up the
good work.

Weyerhaeuser launching diaper drive
Dear Editor,
We all know our local families stills
struggle with the very basic of necessities. Companies like Weyerhaeuser
and yourself are the key to maintaining the safety net.
One way Weyerhaeuser is making
a difference: This year’s third annual
Operation Diaper Drive launches on
March 5 and ends March 26. This is a
great cause that aligns with our business and has inspired our employees
to give generously to those less fortunate. It’s a perfect example of our
citizenship value in action.
In our first year, we donated more
than 400,000 diapers. In our second,
we donated nearly 700,000. This year,
let’s make it a million.
This initiative meets a critical need
in our communities, and engages
and inspires our employees and
stakeholders.
This is tremendous need for diapers and many local families today
are facing difficult decisions about
providing the very basic and essential needs.
Diapers are the most requested
and least donated item at local food
banks. Most day care centers require
a full day’s supply of disposable, not
cloth, diapers. Safety-net programs
(WIC/food stamps) don’t cover the
cost of diapers, so families in need
are faced with rinsing and reusing the
disposables. 34% of mothers report
cutting back on essentials (food,
utilities) to cover the cost of diapers,
and they still can’t afford an adequate
daily supply.
If you would like to join us in this
cause, two ways you can help. Bring
in new unused disposable diapers
to Weyerhaeuser’s Main Office in
Dierks, Chamber of Commerce in
Nashville (107 S. Main), KDQN 92.1
radio in De Queen (921 Collin Raye
Dr) or if you know a Weyerhaeuser
employee, ask for pick up. If you are
not close to one of our facilities, we’ve
set up a link to donate directly to
World Vision at www.firstgiving.com/
fundraiser/world-vision/operationdiaperdrive2014. $40 buys a jumbo
box of diapers for a family in need.
Won’t you please consider donating
and spreading the word about this
initiative?
Thank you for considering support of this important effort and help
us spread the word!
It’s a natural fit! Our cellulose
fibers business uses a renewable
resource to produce biodegradable
fluff pulp that is used in many of the
diapers sold today. We’re proud of
our proven track record in managing
forests on a sustainable basis to make
products essential to everyday lives.
If you have any questions, please
contact me at 870-286-4230.

The radio broad caster
out of Richardson, Texas
had the surprise of his life
when a Nashville resident
called in on a quiz program.
The reward was a threehour recording of World
War II.
Cecil Harris had the right
answers. Our darkroom
operator identified himself
as being from Nashville. The
guy named Bill Bragg, who
broadcasts old timey music,
had some questions.
“What was the name of
the popular radio team from
Arkansas during the war?”
No problem for Cecil. “Lum
and Abner.”
“What was the name of
the town where they played
their show?” Again no problem. “Pine Ridge”.
The final question, what
was the name of the town
before it was changed to
Pine Ridge? No problem for
Cecil. “Waters” he told the
interrogator.
So now Cecil is waiting for
his three-hour tape of World
War II from the radio man
down in Richardson.

CHARLES GOODIN
Editor
NASHVILLE - A local man
accused of multiple drug and
weapons crimes was sentenced to three concurrent
sentences in the Arkansas
Department of Correction
Wednesday in Howard County Circuit Court.
Delonte Armstrong, 20,
received a total of 36 years
in prison with 10 suspended after pleading guilty to
possession of a controlled
substance with purpose to
deliver enhanced by proximity to certain facilities,
possession of a defaced
firearm and simultaneous
possession of drugs and
firearms. A fourth charge
of criminal use of a pro-
hibited weapon was nolle
prossed.
Court documents indicate that the allegations
against Armstrong stem
from a search and seizure
warrant executed on his
residence early this year.
A statement issued by
Police Chief Dale Pierce at
the time of the arrest stated
that officers took Armstrong
into custody around 3:30
p.m. Jan. 2 after discovering
contraband in his Henderson St. apartment.
“Upon entry officers located and seized approximately 250 grams of suspected marijuana packaged
in nine separate bags, two
sets of digital scales, four
firearms that included one
semi-automatic rifle with the
serial number ground off and
one sawed off shotgun, and
$507 cash,” Pierce said in the
statement. “The search and
seizure warrant is a result
of an undercover operation
conducted by Nashville Police Department Narcotics
Investigator David Stinson.
Nashville officers involved in
the warrant execution were
David Stinson, Tim Bowlin,
Jimmy Steely, Dustin Wakefield, Randy Bohn and Greg
Parker.”
According to Pierce, the
seized contraband has a
street value of about $3,000.
In addition to his prison
sentence, Armstrong was
ordered to pay court costs, a
DNA fee and $3,307 in restitution to the Howard County
Sheriff’s Department.
Okolona man seeking State House seat
LITTLE ROCK - An Okolona businessman has filed to
seek the Republican nomination in the race to represent District 19 in the State
House.
Justin Gonzales, 31, said
Saturday his campaign
would be focused around
protecting gun rights, limiting abortion and supporting
the traditional concept of
family.
“I didn’t see enough conservative candidates in the
race,” he explained during
a brief interview. “I feel that
we need more conservative
representation on the state
level.”
Asked to elaborate on
the central tenets of his
platform, Gonzales said he
believes a person has a right
to life from conception and
that the state and federal
government should “not be
in control of marriage.” He
also stated that he would
have opposed the recentlypassed and hotly debated
“private option,” which allows state medicare funds to
be used to purchase private
health insurance for those
who cannot otherwise afford it. Because it is neither
an expansion of medicare,
nor a rejection of medicare
funds, the law must be reauthorized each year by the
state legislature.
“I will probably still be
against it,” he said. “I do not
see any way that’s an affordable option.”
Gonzales went on to state
that he believes the district’s
residents are “more conservative than they vote,” and
may support a Republican
candidate despite the fact
that one has never represented the area as it is currently defined.
Although his past experience in politics and civic
life has been limited to involvement in local baseball
and softball organizations,
Gonzales has owned and operated Sidekick Logging for
the past four years. He and
his wife, Cassie, have two
children, 12 year old Gabby
and three year old Bennett,
and the family attends Evergreen First Church of God in
Gurdon.
Boyd Thomas, 67, of Nashville, Arkansas,

Church in Nashville, the Wildman Hunting
Club and was the Parts Manager at York Gary
Autoplex for over 40 years.

Record temps and record prices
A lot of us are talking
about beef these days.
Ranchers at the co-op are
showing me sale receipts
that would make a banker
jealous, right before they pay
the feed bill that taketh the
money away.
And, consumers are
shocked at the thought of
paying so much for food. I
feel y’all’s pain: the sale receipts from up on the ridge
are larger than we’ve ever
taken home, but the feed
bill will blow your mind.
With the persistent cold, wet
weather, our hay is plumb
gone and we’re having to buy
from benevolent neighbors.
Our poor old truck is taking
a beating from feeding out of

to kick this sore throat/cold
everyone’s getting.
I’m saying all this so one
of y’all will feel sorry for
me and buy me breakfast
someday.
Seriously, two price records were shattered this
past week, according to
MeatingPlace.com. On Feb.
28, calf prices reached a
phenomenal $301.25/lbs

We are open Mon.-Fri. 7:00-5:00
and Saturdays 7:00-4:30
for a set of 426 lbs steers at
Ogallala, NE., and butcher
cows fetched over a dollar a
pound, a fact made stranger
considering the frigid temps
the nation is experiencing
and the fact that few of us
outside the Corinth Metroplex are grilling (we’re either
too ignernt or too stubborn
south of Highland).
The cattle feeders are
making a little overdue money with cheaper corn and
1:52 fed cattle. And we’re still
eating red meat, though less
of it, and more chicken soup
washed down with cough
medicine. God help us.

It was a Colorado winter afternoon when the boys
spotted a big crossbred cow wobblin’ along with her
calf trailing behind and a prolapse as big as an army
issue duffle bag!
When they got closer they could see the calf had
sucked but the prolapse looked a little worse for the
wear. Merle and Earl were a’horseback two miles from
the corrals. The cow was domesticated but certainly
not tame! She was a range cow. They’re like K-Mart
employees; you can’t actually walk up to one!
Using the time-tested Temple Grandin technique,
they pushed her down the trail until she wore out and
sort of collapsed. Our duo dismounted and eased up
on the tired cow. He also carried a small medicine bag,
primarily to treat calf scours. Earl walked up to drop
a loop over the cow’s head.
“You won’t need that,” said Merle, “There’s some
of that obstacle tape, that and a shot of ‘anorexic’
medicine will put her to sleep.”
Earl found a bottle with 5 cc of lidocaine left in it.
He drew it into a syringe and handed it to Merle who
injected it directly into the prolapse. The boys knelt
down and began trying to stuff the bulbous, slippery,
inverted uterus back through the pelvic opening.
NOTE: this process has been compared to stuffing
a smoked ham down a sink drain.
Four hands were thrusting, spelunking, grasping,
groaning, winching, clinching…push one galoop in and
another would pop out the other side! Through twenty
minutes of heaving, breathing, scooting, slewing, and
trying to find something with your foot to push against,
the monstrous appendage kept growling and snarling,
fighting back with all its might! Merle had the best grip.
“Earl, pull off your boot and see if you can shove it
in with your foot!
“What!?” said Earl.
“I read about it somewhere, it gives you more
leverage!”
With a suspicious eye, Earl unbooted, lay back
against a hummock, placed his sticky sock into the
rubbery protuberance and pushed. “Slurp…” It disappeared before their eyes!
Merle took command. He rifled in the medicine
box and found a bottle of umbilical tape and a needle.
“Keep pushin’ till I git’er stitched up!” instructed
Merle.
Even though she was still straining some, the cow
began to relax. So did Earl, twisted in up to the knee.
Merle threaded the S-curved needle and plunged into
the sensitive area. “WHAAAAAA!”
The cow rose from the ground like a missile being
fired from a Titan submarine! The movement put tremendous pressure on the anterior cruciate ligament
in Earl’s knee joint. He didn’t even make the 8-second
buzzer.
EPILOGUE: The prolapse stayed in, the calf was
not fazed, it ended Earl’s potential soccer career, and
Merle lived to tell me the story!

Blevins earns first round win
Hornets will
return to
action tonight
as they eye
state title
CHARLES GOODIN
Editor
HAMPTON - The Blevins
Hornets are one step closer
to playing for a state championship following a 59-42
win over Augusta in the
opening round of the 2A
state playoffs Friday.
the Hornets fell behind
early in the game, managing just five points in the
first quarter while Augusta
went on a 13-point tear.
River Kirkham kept Blevins
in the game with two field
goals, while Tank Woodley
added a charity shot to
round out scoring for the
Hornets.
Blevins showed marked
improvement in the second
period as Monte Gentry led
the team to a 26-10 stanza
with a trio of three pointers. Kirkham was close behind with three field goals,
Woodley added a deuce
and two free throws, and
Quincy McDaniel got on the
board with a field goal and
two free throws of his own.
The third quarter was
more of the same for
Blevins, with Kirkham again
leading the team to a 1710 period. In addition to
Kirkham’s six points, McDaniel hit a field goal and a
three, Woodley contributed
two field goals and Marquez
Lloyd added a deuce to
round out scoring for the
Hornets.
Up by 15 with one quarter to go, Blevins cooled
their heels in the fourth,
scoring just 11 to Augusta’s
nine to escape with the
win. Kirkham again led
the charge with four, while
McDaniel added a trey and
Lloyd and Trevon Reed contributed a field goal each.
Blevins will return to
action tonight at 5:30 p.m.
in the second round of the
tournament.
Lady Outlaws
edged out of
state tournament
KATELYN COFFMAN
DHS Correspondent
HAMPTON - The Dierks
Lady Outlaws played their
final game of the season
against the Cedar Ridge
Timberwolves during the
State tournament held in
Hampton on Sat., March 8.
A good match was presented
on both sides, but the Timberwolves overwhelmed the
Lady Outlaws by five points
in the end.
Dierks started out strong
going into the first quarter of
the game, ending up with an
eight-point lead over Cedar
Ridge. The first point was secured by Kaydra Ayers after
she shot one of the two freethrows she was offered. After
the ball went to Adrianna
Walston, she shot a twopointer followed by a three,
then a free-throw. Mikayla
Feemster brought the period
to an end by shooting double
threes. With a score of 18-10,
things appeared hopeful for
the Lady Outlaws.
It heated up during the
second quarter when the
Lady Outlaws experienced
difficulty making plays
around Cedar Ridge. Madasan Muse shot for two
points, and Feemster nabbed
three. The Timberwolves
pulled ahead by scoring 14
additional points, bringing
the first half total to 18-24 in
the Timberwolves favor.
Walston opened up the
next part of the tournament
for the Lady Outlaws with
a duo of two-point shots.
The ball then went to Lillie
Woodruff, who also sunk a
two-pointer. Walston shot
for two more points, and two
again after Muse did. This
gained them 12 more points
while Cedar Ridge gained
14. The score was still in the
Timberwolves’ favor, 38-30.
The Lady Outlaws
stepped up during the final
stanza. Feemster shot a set
of free throws after Muse
hit a three. Two more free
throws were received by
Muse. Walston then grabbed
two points, followed by a
three-pointer from Feemster.
The ball went back to Muse,
who shot for two before
giving it to Fennell, who did
the same. It went back to
Muse, who sunk two more
points. Walston earned three
points after completing a
two-point shot followed by a
free throw. Muse scored the
final two points for Dierks,
bringing the grand total to a
close 53-58.
The top scorer of the
game was Walston, who
made up 19 of her team’s
points. Muse followed
closely, making 15. Next
was Feemster, who secured
a total of 12. Fennell and
Woodruff had a total of two
and Ayers one.
The Lady Outlaws will be
losing valuable players, seniors, Muse, Feemster, Taryn
Lowery, and Skylar Burgess,
as this game brought their
high school basketball careers to an end. They have
been vital assets to team
and aided in Dierks’ advancement into the state
tournament. Their ability
and companionship will be
greatly missed next year.

Wins over Horatio,
Star City and
Redwater secure
title for Nashville
CHARLES GOODIN
Editor
N
ASHVILLE - The
Nashville Scrappers became
Ralph Gross tournament champions
Saturday after posting
consecutive victories over teams from
Horatio, Star City and
Redwater, Texas.
Nashville began their
quest for the title with a
back-and-forth matchup
against the Horatio Lions
in which the lead changed
with each inning.
Horatio struck first,
pulling ahead by a single
run in the first inning, but
Nashville fired back at the
bottom of the second with
a three-run rally. Lucas Liggin got things started when
he scored on an error, then
Alex Curry singled to right
field, scoring Dylan Chambers and Nick Myers.
Horatio tied it up at
the top of the third with
two runs, then the teams
matched efforts with two
runs each in the fourth.
Chambers was the first to
round home, batted in by
Curry, who grounded out
to third base, then Kyler
Lawrence reached base on
an error, scoring Myers.
The Scrappers again
matched efforts with Horatio in the fifth with both
teams managing a single
run. Trace Beene recorded
the run for Nashville as a
courtesy runner.
Nashville finally pulled
ahead and secured the win
in the sixth inning when
Justin Reed hit a sacrifice
fly, scoring Andy Graves.
On Friday, the Scrappers
returned to action against
Star City, jumping out to a
3-2 lead by the end of the
third quarter and holding
on to advance to the finals.
Action got underway
at the bottom of the first
inning, when Reed singled
to left field, scoring Myers. Ty Whitworth added
to Nashville’s lead at the
bottom of the second after
Chambers singled to left
field, then Myers singled to
centerfield, scoring Storm
Nichols.
Star City responded with
two runs at the top of the
third, then Curry reached
base on an error at the bottom of the fourth, scoring
Nichols to round out action
in the contest.
With the win, the Scrappers headed to the finals of
the tournament Saturday,
where they narrowly edged
out a competitive Redwater
team 7-6.
Nashville held a sizable
lead early in the game, beginning with a two-run tear
at the bottom of the first.
Kory Snodgrass scored first
as a courtesy runner, then
Lawrence rounded home
on a wild pitch to give the
Scrappers a 2-0 advantage.
Redwater added a run
at the top of the second,
then Nashville fired back
with runs by Jamison, who
scored on an error, and Myers, who scored on a wild
pitch.
Both teams were scoreless in the fourth, then
matched efforts with one
run each in the fifth. Nashville’s score in that stanza
came on a single by Liggin
that scored Lawrence.
After enduring a scoreless sixth, both teams
scored twice in the seventh,
resulting in the 7-6 win. The
Scrappers’ points came
from Beene, who scored
on a passed ball, and Zach
Jamison, who scored when
Myers singled to centerfield.
Nashville will return to
action this week with a
game against Smackover
Tuesday on the campus of
Southern Arkansas University, followed by games
against Junction City and
Foreman at home on Thursday and Friday.

Scrapperettes drop season opener
CHARLES GOODIN
Editor
NASHVILLE - The Nashville Scrapperettes fell to Mena Friday in their
season opener at the Nashville City
Park.
Nashville fell behind at the bottom
of the third inning and rallied at the
top of the fifth, but the effort was not
enough to overcome a late run by
Mena and the home team ultimately
lost 6-4.
Action got underway at the bot-
tom of the third, when Mena pulled
ahead with two runs. Nashville fired
back with a single run at the top of
the fourth, but the Lady Bearcats
answered with a run of their own to
maintain the lead.
The Scrapperettes put up three
runs at the top of the fifth, briefly
pulling ahead by one before a threerun tear by Mena at the bottom of
the seventh sealed the win for the
Lady Bearcats.
Hannah White and Shayla Wright
led the team from the plate, each
turning in a 2-2 performance, although only White was able to score
a run. Kaylea Carver, Keeley Miller
and Avery Kesterson were all 2-3
at bad, with Carver and Kesterson
scoring runs while Miller tallied an
RBI.
Mattie Jamison went 1-2 from the
plate, tallying an RBI of her own,
while Kathleen Lance’s 1-3 performance was good for a run.
Anna Kesterson was credited with
the loss after giving up 11 hits and
three errors while striking out one.
DE QUEEN - The Nashville
Scrapper track team finished
third Thursday at the Leopard Relays, scoring 87 points
while first place finisher

times of 2:06.24, 4:44.46 and
10:44.02, respectively. Robbie Morphew also earned
points in the 800, finishing
fifth.

team, which finished second
with a time of 9:03.47. He was
joined on the squad by Ignacio Perez, Braden Bowman
and Morphew.
Jackson Beavert, Jalen

to the success and growth
of Hope, as it is for all communities. We appreciate the
hard work of all agencies involved in the investigation of

“I can’t overstate the power of partnerships in fighting today’s organized drug

work by our partners.”
“I’m grateful for the cooperation of local, state, and
federal officials that resulted
in these arrests,” McQueen
said. “Methamphetamine
is a scourge of our nation

Fireman from several local fire departments respond Thursday afternoon to a large fire at a residence located at
2544 Highway 26 West. Center Point Fire Chief Dan Harding says owners Ronny and Susie Pounds reported that the
fire started in the back room of the house. The call came in at 3:48 p.m. and firefighters say when they arrived, the
fire quickly spread into the attic. Harding said they were unable to control it and the home was a total loss. Several
nearby fire departments assisted including County Line, Dierks and Nashville. Crews were on scene until 11 p.m.
Historic home destroyed by fire
D.E. RAY
Contributing Editor
CENTER POINT - A fire broke out
at the Pounds home, just west of the
Highway 278-Highway 26 junction
in Center Point, Thursday afternoon. The 125 year old structure,
which started as a dogtrot house
and served at one point as a boardinghouse for local schoolmarms,
was declared a total loss after several local volunteer fire departments
fought the flames for more than
seven hours.
No members of the Pounds family were at home at the time that the
fire started, according to witnesses
at the scene.
Center Point Fire Chief Dan Harding said that after it became apparent that crews would be unable to
control the multiple fires in enclosed
spaces in the home without exposing
themselves to unreasonable danger,
that the homeowner asked them to
merely contain the blaze to the structure so that cleanup would be easier.
Harding said that with the total
loss of the structure, determination
of cause would be very difficult, but
noted that the apparent origin of the
blaze was a room with a breaker box.
The Center Point Fire Department
was joined by the County Line Fire
Department in fighting the fire, with
assistance provided by members of
the Dierks and Nashville Fire Departments.

It’s
sprIng
Spring is the favorite of the four seasons for many people. The
mild, warmer weather that follows a cold Winter is a time when new
life blooms. Flowers begin to grow once again; animals come out of
hibernation; and people spend more time outdoors. Many people do
their “spring cleaning.” This is when people clean out their homes
after a long, stuffy Winter. Many people plant lowers and work in
their yards and gardens. Most children get a week off from school
called Spring Break, and many families take vacations at this time.
Spring sports, such as soccer, tennis, and baseball, begin practice
in the mild weather. The beginning of Spring is marked by the Vernal
Equinox. An equinox is the only day of the year in which both day and
night are the exact length of time. In the Northern Hemisphere, we experience the Vernal Equinox (or irst day of Spring) around March 21,
while in the Southern Hemisphere the irst day of their fall season is
experienced. This occurrence is due to the fact that the sun is passing
directly over the equator which happens only twice a year.

man accused of
church break-ins
pleads not guilty
CHARLES GOODIN
Editor
NASHVILLE - A Lockesburg man accused of breaking into two area churches
plead not guilty to charges
stemming from the incidents Wednesday in Howard
County Circuit Court.
Edmond Lewis, 42, was
ordered to return to court
June 4 to face two counts
of commercial burglary and
two counts of theft of property.
Court documents indicate that the allegations
against Lewis stem from an
investigation that began Feb.
23, when Maranatha Baptist
Church reported a break-in
at approximately 7:30 a.m.
“Several drawers had
been gone through, windows
broken out and damage to
doors,” police wrote in an
arrest narrative attached to
Lewis’ case file.
Lewis was arrested by the
De Queen Police Department
Feb. 24 in connection with
the alleged burglary of a De
Queen church, and local
authorities subsequently
interviewed him regarding
the break-in at Maranatha. At
the time, police allege Lewis
stated he “dropped [his step
son] off around the sewer
pond on Highway 27” and
that he “knew [he] was going
to do a burglary, but wasn’t
sure of exactly where.” Two
days later, Lewis allegedly
gave a different statement
to De Queen Investigator
Scott Simmons, admitting to
breaking into the Nashville
church and stating that his
step son was not with him
at the time.
“Edmond also stated that
he stole a white ice chest,”
police wrote in the arrest
narrative. “Pastor Bruce
Short ... confirmed that they
were missing a white ice
chest. The ice chest was
recovered at Edmond’s residence.”
Also on Feb. 26, affidavits
attached to Lewis’ case file
indicate that he accompanied Sevier County Investigator Robert Gentry and Simmons to other locations “in
Sevier and Howard Counties
where he identified buildings
that he had broken into.”
“The investigators went
to County Line and New
Shiloh Churches and Edmond Lewis did identify the
churches as being ones that
he burglarized,” police wrote
in the statement. “He provided a written statement to
the fact that he entered the
church buildings and took
food items from each of the
buildings along with a small
amount of cash from one of
them.”

Washington to host historical conference
WASHINGTON - “The
Home Front” is the theme
for the Arkansas Historical
Association (AHA) 73rd annual conference, April 3 – 5,
in Washington, Arkansas.
All program sessions will
be in the 1874 Courthouse
and Washington Methodist
Church at the Historic Washington State Park.
According to AHA President Tim Nutt, “This conference continues the AHA’s
look at the Civil War in Arkansas. As the war dragged into
its fourth year, the people of
Arkansas found themselves
in a daily struggle for survival amid widespread shortages of food and other supplies and the depredations of
roving bands who preyed on
military and civilian targets
with equal ferocity.”
In addition to papers on
Civil War in Arkansas and the
Camden Expedition of 1864,
the conference will address
the home front of World War
II with a session on the Japanese Relocation Camp at Rohwer and an Italian prisoner
of war camp at Monticello,
as well as a variety of other
topics of interest to students
of Arkansas history.
Moderators include longtime journalist and political
communications professional Rex Nelson, former
state historian Dr. Wendy
Richter, Dr. Johanna Miller
Lewis of UALR, Mark Christ
of the Arkansas Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission
and a variety of people from
universities and agencies
around the state. Dr. Jamie
Brandon of the Arkansas
Archeological Survey and
Dr. Tom DeBlack of Arkansas
Tech University in Russellville will speak at the Friday
and Saturday luncheons
respectively.
Special events include
a Thursday evening reception at the President William
Jefferson Clinton Birthplace
Home in nearby Hope and a
Friday evening reception at
the 1853 Woodlawn House
in Washington. Friday afternoon tour opportunities
to Civil War sites at Dooley’s
Ferry on the Red River, to
the World War II Southwest
Proving Ground between
Hope and Washington or to
Historic Washington State
Park itself will complement
the sessions. “Town in
Conflict”, a street drama

Davis, Breana Amonette and Danielle Jessie take time out
for a photo after finishing fourth at regionals Saturday in
Malvern.
the concerns of the town’s
citizens in 1864, will round
out the activities for the
conference.
The conference, which is
supported in part by grants
from the Arkansas Humanities Council, the National
Endowment for the Humanities and the Department of
Arkansas Heritage, is open
to the public. Teacher inservice certificates will be
available. Registration is
$10.
