Local man pleads guilty to rape charge
CHARLES GOODIN
Editor
NASHVILLE - A local man
was sentenced to 20 years
in the Arkansas Department
of Correction with five suspended Tuesday after pleading guilty to a sex charge in
Howard County Circuit Court.
Tony Bearden, 53, received
the sentence just one day
before his scheduled trial on
Bearden accused of sexual contact
with mentally disadvantaged woman
a charge of rape stemming
from alleged sexual contact
with a mentally disadvantaged woman.
According to court documents, the 42 year old woman
suffers from “profound mental retardation and is very
child-like.” She was inter-
viewed by police in March
of 2012, and allegedly stated
through the use of diagrams
that Bearden touched her
genitals with his.
The arrest narrative further indicates that Bearden,
the alleged victim’s brotherin-law, was interviewed on
March 26 and denied having
sexual contact with the victim, although he refused to
take a voice stress test. Later
the same day, he returned
to take the test, and allegedly admitted to Investigator
Larry Marion that “he has
had sexual contact with [the
victim].”
Records kept by the Howard County Children’s Center
state that the victim’s func-
tional independence and
mental performance are at a
level comparable to that of a
seven year old. Bearden and
his wife were serving as her
caregivers at the time the
incident is believed to have
occurred.
In addition to his sentence,
Bearden was ordered to pay
court costs and a DNA fee,
and must register as a sex
offender.

NASHVILLE - Candidate
for Treasurer for the state of
Arkansas Karen Garcia made
a visit to Howard County
Tuesday afternoon, the second such trip the candidate
has made since she began
her run.
In addition to stopping

met with several old friends
from her 26 years with Weyerhaeuser, dropping by the
Center Point Store on the
way.
Garcia, currently a city
director for Hot Springs, is
the only certified public accountant in the race for treasurer- and she worked for
Weyerhaeuser not only high
in the accounting operation
for Arkansas, but also setting
up accounting departments
in other states and internationally. She said that during
that time, she made many
trips to the Dierks plant and
made many friends.
Garcia also took time at

NASHVILLE - A Nashville
man faces a charge of terroristic threatening after
a family altercation early
Thursday morning.
Oliver A. Martinez, 19,
of Nashville, was involved
in a dispute with his father
which turned physical at
their home in the Tolland
Heights area in the south
of Nashville, according to
police reports.
The argument purportedly was over the leaving
of the home by the family’s
minor daughter without permission. According to the
report, prior to the arrival
of police, Oliver Martinez
had drawn a knife against
his father, and that the two
had struggled over
the knife,
but that the
altercation
did not result in injuries. When
MARTINEZ
police arrived, the report continues, the older Martinez was
restraining his son. Oliver
Martinez reportedly made
statements to the responding officer that he wanted
to kill his sister for leaving
the home.
Oliver Martinez was arrested slightly before 4 a.m.
and transported to the Howard County Jail, where he
remains on a $5,000 bond.
Martinez’s minor sister
reportedly returned to the
home unharmed.
Benefit held for Newhope man battling esophageal cancer

NEWHOPE - A benefit was
held Sunday for long time
Newhope resident Randy
Golden, who was diagnosed
with esophageal cancer back
in May. He was a graduate
of Dierks High School and
worked as a logger for years.
Golden has been married
to his wife Deidi for 22 years.
He is the father of an only
daughter and is soon to be
the grandfather of twin boys.
He originally entered the
hospital for a procedure to fix
an obstruction in his esophagus and determine why he
was having trouble swallow-
ing. During the procedure, the
doctors discovered tumor
and later determined it was
malignant. He immediately
began taking radiation and
chemotherapy. After over a
month-long stay in the hospital with many obstacles,
Golden was finally able to
return home on July 2 where
he will remain until the beginning of August when he
will be readmitted into the
hospital to undergo surgery.
Golden’s family has no
insurance and he has been
unable to work because of his
illness. His friends and family rallied together Saturday
evening for a benefit to raise

Bordering on
madness
In a recent confrontation between protesters against the illegal flood of unaccompanied children into the United States
and counter-protests by some Hispanic group, one man from
the latter group said angrily, “We are as good as you are!”
One of the things that make the history of clashes over
race or ethnicity such a history of tragedies around the
world is that — regardless of whatever particular issue sets
off these clashes — many people see the ultimate stakes as
their worth as human beings. On that, there is no room for
compromise, but only polarization. That is why playing “the
race card” is such an irresponsible and dangerous political
game.
The real issue when it comes to immigration is not simply
what particular immigration policy America should have,
but whether America can have any immigration policy at all.
A country that does not control its own borders does
not have any immigration policy. There may be laws on the
books, but such laws are just meaningless words if people
from other countries can cross the borders whenever they
choose.
One of the reasons why many Americans are reluctant to
keep out illegal immigrants
— or even to call them “illegal immigrants,” instead Thomas
of using the mealy-mouthed sowell
word “undocumented” — is Creators
that most Hispanics they en- Syndicate
counter seem to be decent,
hard-working people.
This column has pointed out, more than once, that I have
never seen Mexicans standing on a street corner begging,
though I have seen both whites and blacks doing so.
But such impressions are no basis for deciding serious
issues about immigration and citizenship. When we do not
control our own borders, we have no way of knowing how
many of those coming across those borders are criminals
or even terrorists.
We have no way of knowing how many of those children
are carrying what diseases that will spread to our children.
And we already know, from studies of American children,
that those who are raised without fathers in the home have
a high probability of becoming huge, expensive problems for
taxpayers in the years ahead, and a mortal danger to others.
A hundred years ago, when there was a huge influx of
immigrants from Europe, there were extensive government
studies of what those immigrants did in the United States.
There were data on how many, from what countries,
ended up in jail, diseased or on the dole. There were data
on how well their children did in school.
As with most things, some immigrant groups did very well
and others did not do nearly as well. But today, even to ask
such questions is to be considered mean-spirited.
Such information as we have today shows that immigrants from some countries have far more education than
immigrants from some other countries, and do not end
up being supported by the taxpayers nearly as often as
immigrants from other countries. But such information is
seldom mentioned in discussions of immigrants, as if they
were abstract people in an abstract world.
Questions about immigration and citizenship are questions about irreversible decisions that can permanently
change the composition of the American population and the
very culture of the country — perhaps in the direction of
the cultures of the countries from which illegal immigrants
have fled.
During the era of epidemics that swept across Europe
in centuries past, people fleeing from those epidemics
often spread the diseases to the places to which they fled.
Counterproductive and dangerous cultures can be spread
to America the same way.
Willful ignorance is not the way to make immigration
decisions or any other decisions. Yet the Obama administration is keeping secret even where they are dumping illegal
immigrants by the thousands, in communities far from the
border states.
Looking before we leap is not racism — except in the
sense that anything the Obama administration doesn’t like
is subject to being called racist.
Americans who gather to protest the high-handed way
this administration has sneaked illegal immigrants into their
communities can expect the race card to be played against
them. The time is long overdue to stop being intimidated by
such cheap — and dangerous — political tactics.

Gay rights and the south
To say that LGBT equality issues do not get much attention
in the south would be an understatement, but one organization
is looking to change that.
The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), which is the largest
LGBT civil rights advocacy group and political lobbying organization in the United States, announced in late
April its intention to bring equality to the south
by raising awareness of the struggles that many
members of the LGBT community face on a Jessica
recurring basis. The effort, which is titled ‘Proj- deloach
ect One America,’ comes after many significant
News
strides that have been made for LGBT equality
Columnist
on both the state and federal levels. The organization has committed to spending $8.5 million
over the course of three years between efforts
in Alabama, Arkansas and Mississippi and will be conducted
by a twenty-person team, making this the largest coordinated
effort for LGBT equality in the history of the south.
The goals between the three-state-initiative are to raise the
visibility of LGBT people and issues with the general public,
to create safer environments for LGBT young people, to build
partnerships with communities of faith and color, businesses
and political opposites. Other goals include building support
for enduring legal protections to ensure LGBT equality as
well as the expansion of equality within the workplace and
healthcare environment.
Recently, a survey was conducted by the HRC to gather
information over the needs, experiences and priorities of the
LGBT community in the south and the results were striking.
In each of the three states being targeted by the new initiative, nearly 65 percent of the LGBT individuals surveyed reported suffering verbal abuse. A quarter of the group reported
experiencing discrimination in employment or public accommodation and one in five individuals reported experiencing
physical violence due to their identity. Parenting issues were
also uncovered in the study. Mississippi was noted as having
the highest percentage of gay and lesbian couples raising
children and doing so without legal protections or inclusion
in their communities. Between the three states, one in four
LGBT parents are raising children, but as total legal strangers
to them.
The organization’s President, Arkansas-native Chad Griffin,
has an extensive and significant background working for LGBT
equality in America, so his undertaking of such a long-overdue
and large scale campaign is anything but surprising. In a press
release issued prior to the launch of the campaign, Griffin
indicated that his belief that people in each of
the targeted states “shouldn’t have to wait a
single day longer for one, fully equal, America.”
He went on to state “Right now, this country
is deeply divided into two Americas – one where
LGBT equality is nearly a reality and the other
where LGBT people lack the most fundamental
measures of equal citizenship. Project One
America is an unparalleled effort to close that
gap, and it opens up a bold, new chapter in the
LGBT civil rights movement of this generation. In this grand
struggle for equality, we can’t write off anyone, anywhere”
said Griffin.
The launch of this initiative could not be more timely, as
LGBT individuals in each of these states do not have nondiscrimination protections on the state or local level in regards
to housing, public accommodations or employment. At present, each of the targeted states prohibits marriage equality.
The team behind this initiative knows that what they are
attempting to accomplish will be neither easy nor immediate,
but that is not their focus. With over 57,000 members between
the three targeted states, they are confident that they can generate the momentum that is needed to create a more equitable
southern society for LGBT individuals.
If you’d like to read more about the Human Rights Campaign’s “Project One America” plan, you can do so at: www.
hrc.org/campaigns/project-one-america
Additional events to jumpstart the initiative will take place
in Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas on May 5th-7th with HRC
President Chad Griffin.

Jessica DeLoach serves as a political analyst on KARK
Channel 4’s Political Plays and its Sunday morning political
program, Capitol View. She has deep insights into the politics
of the state of Arkansas and writes a special weekly column for
The Nashville News.
In Oregon, a doctor calls
“Are you kidding?” This is Monica Wehby’s amiable response
to people who wonder whether she will be able to bear the
pressures of office if she wins her race as a Republican Senate
candidate. For 17 of her 52 years she has been a pediatric neurosurgeon, holding in steady hands sharp steel
and the fate of children’s brains. She probably
can cope with the strains of legislative life.
Today, her task is to persuade Oregonians to
act on the cogent exhortation of her campaign’s
bumper stickers: “Keep Your Doctor. Change
Your Senator.” She is trying to take a Senate seat
away from freshman Democrat Jeff Merkley, who
was elected in 2008 with 49 percent of the vote
when Barack Obama carried the state with 57 percent. This year,
Merkley’s task is to run far ahead of Obama’s 43 percent job
approval among Oregonians, with 54 percent of independents
disapproving of the president.
Oregon is one of the 18 states and the District of Columbia
that have supported Democratic nominees in at least six consecutive presidential elections. About half the state’s voters live
in the Portland metropolitan area, which has become emblematic of urban progressivism (“smart growth,” autophobia). But
from 1969 to 1995, both Oregon senators were Republicans, and
Wehby’s pollster says Merkley’s two-point lead (41-39) derives
from the incumbent’s perishable seven-point advantage in name
recognition. Wehby is up one point among voters who say they
“know” both candidates.
Wehby not only has two X chromosomes but supports
abortion rights and the right of states to recognize same-sex
marriages, which complicates the Democratic Party’s continuing accusation that Republicans wage “war on women.” Still,
The Wall Street Journal’s Kimberly Strassel noted in a May 22
column (“A Democratic War on One Woman”) that Democrats
were complicit in attempts to portray Wehby as having had an
unstable romantic life. Never mind the selective prurience of
some members of Bill Clinton’s party. Note, however, Strassel’s
information: Of the two men with whom Wehby is said to have
had tumultuous relationships, one, a former boyfriend, says he
regrets his “emotional” behavior, and the other, her ex-husband,
lives four doors from her, calls her a friend, and has contributed
to her campaign.
Another Democratic theme is that all Republicans are
extremists. Wehby, however, won 50 percent of the vote in
a five-candidate primary in which her rivals accused her of
moderation. Oregonians interested in real extremism should
note that Merkley is co-sponsoring a constitutional amendment that would do something unprecedented -- alter the Bill
of Rights to reduce its protections. It would
eviscerate the First Amendment by empowering
Congress to regulate the quantity and content
GeoRGe of political campaign speech, including speech
will
about Congress.
Washington
The federal government owns 32.7 million
Post
-- 53 percent -- of Oregon’s acres, some of which
are inhabited by sage grouses. These birds the
size of chickens might be big enough to matter
in November. The federal government, resourceful at devising
ways to burden economic activity, might declare the bird an
endangered species. This could have large economic consequences, so Merkley, caught between liberal environmentalists
and timber and other agricultural interests, supports a measure
that is pluperfect liberalism: Let’s spend $15 million to study
how birds and bipeds can coexist.
Oregon had the worst of all the unpleasant experiences that
states had with the Obamacare rollout. The FBI is investigating how the state managed to spend $250 million on an online
insurance exchange that failed. Which is just one reason health
care matters here.
Oregon’s largest employer is not Nike, which is only sixth.
The three largest employers, and 13 of the top 25, are health care
providers. But, then, in the archetypal Rust Belt manufacturing
city of Cleveland, the largest employer is the Cleveland Clinic
and the second-largest is another health care provider. Houston
is America’s energy capital, but four of its five largest employers
are in the health care field. Pittsburgh’s largest employer is the
University of Pittsburgh, partly because of its medical center.
Given the enormous and growing role of medicine in this
aging nation’s economy, it is unfortunate that only three senators are physicians -- Wyoming Republican John Barrasso, an
orthopedic surgeon, Oklahoma Republican Tom Coburn, an
obstetrician, and Kentucky Republican Rand Paul, an ophthalmologist. Coburn is retiring, but another doctor may be coming,
straight from the operating room to her first elected office.
Today, there are only eight senators who ascended to that
institution’s glory, such as it is, without prior success in electoral
politics. This, too, is probably too few.

property values in Howard
County for the assessment
soccer at the park
year 2014 (for taxes due
2015).
County Assessor Debbie
Teague says the state agriculture land values have
slightly increased. During
the past five years, properties in Howard County have
been assessed on an individual basis.
The taxable value is multiplied by the millage rate to
compute the amount of base
taxes. Following this assessment, there is a ratio study to
determine if property values
have increased more than
fifteen percent.
If the values have increased, another assessment will take place in three
years. If they have not then
values will increase in another five years.

session from Aug. 1 through

farmers must file paperwork to remain eligible for crop insurance
WASHINGTON, D.C. Agriculture Secretary Tom
Vilsack today reminded
producers that changes
mandated through the 2014
Farm Bill require them to
have on file a Highly Erodible Land Conservation
and Wetland Conservation
Certification (AD-1026).
The Farm Bill relinked
highly erodible land conservation and wetland conservation compliance with
eligibility for premium support paid under the federal
crop insurance program.
"It's important that farmers and ranchers taking
the right steps to conserve
valuable farm and natural
resources have completed
AD-1026 forms on file at
their local Farm Service
Agency (FSA) office," said
Vilsack. "This will ensure
they remain eligible for
crop insurance support."
For farmers to be eligible for premium support
on their federal crop insurance, a completed and
signed AD-1026 form must
be on file with the FSA.
Since many FSA and Natural Resource Conservation
(NRCS) programs have this
requirement, most producers should already have an
AD-1026 on file. If producers
have not filed, they must do
so by June 1, 2015.
When a farmer completes the AD-1026, FSA and
NRCS staff will outline any
additional actions that may
be required for compliance
with the provisions. The
Risk Management Agency,
through the Federal Crop
Insurance Corporation
(FCIC), manages the federal
crop insurance program
that provides the modern
farm safety net for American farmers and ranchers.
Since enactment of the
1985 Farm Bill, eligibility for
most commodity, disaster,
and conservation programs
has been linked to compliance with the highly erodible land conservation and
wetland conservation provisions. The 2014 Farm Bill
continues the requirement
that producers adhere to
conservation compliance
guidelines to be eligible
for most programs administered by FSA and NRCS.
This includes the new price
and revenue protection
programs, the Conservation Reserve Program, the
Livestock Disaster Assistance programs and Marketing Assistance Loans
implemented by FSA. It also
includes the Environmental
Quality Incentives Program,
the Conservation Stewardship Program, and other
conservation programs.
FSA recently released
a revised form AD-1026,
which is available at USDA
Service Centers and online
at: www.fsa.usda.gov. USDA
will publish a rule later
this year that will provide
details outlining the connection of conservation
compliance with crop insurance premium support.
Producers can also contact
their local USDA Service
Center for information. A
listing of service center
locations is available at
www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/
portal/nrcs/main/national/
contact/local/.
Today's announcement
was made possible by the
2014 Farm Bill. The Farm
Bill builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past five years,
while achieving meaningful
reform and billions of dollars in savings for taxpayers.
Since enactment, USDA
has made significant progress to implement each provision of this critical legislation, including providing
disaster relief to farmers
and ranchers; strengthening risk management
tools; expanding access to
rural credit; funding critical research; establishing
innovative public-private
conservation partnerships;
developing new markets for
rural-made products; and
investing in infrastructure,
housing and community
facilities to help improve
quality of life in rural America.

Clark Jordan brought fine examples of cucumbers, banana peppers and green beans from Buck Range to the Howard
County Farmer’s Market in Nashville Friday morning.
the cow market, as it really is
After the Fourth of July,
there is usually a slight
downward correction in
the livestock market. This
year was no exception and
some believe it is because
the largest grilling weekend
is over and this year it coincided with a large sell off of
big yearlings in Kansas and
Nebraska. Strangely enough,
the slaughter market held its
own and even advanced a
dollar here and there.
The Cattlerange had this
to say about the slaughter
market advancing in the
face of a down trending
feeder market: “It is very
unusual for shrewd beef
packer buyers paying extra
for outfront cattle, especially when the cash trade
is at a sizable premium to
the futures contracts. This
action sent Chicago Merc.
From The
Barnyard
by Mike Graves
Exchange futures sharply
higher and made cattle
feeders feel good about
the physical commodity
(cattle), directing the market for a change.”
In other words, experienced meat packers ARE
convinced that the current
prices being paid for meat
are not only NOT out of line,
but there may be an upward
correction (be it small) coming down the line.
It may seem crazy that
cattle feeders would pony
up $2/lbs for 800 lbs yearlings (Valentine, NE week
before last), but what else
can they do? If you own a
store, you’ve got to have
inventory or close. Many
feedyards have closed in the
last decade due to $8/bushel
corn, but today corn is $4/
bushel, giving cattle feeders
at least a fighting chance at
making a profit.
How long will it last? Hard
to say when ranchers aren’t
keeping broke-mouthed
cows when they fetch $1.30/
lbs. Yes, we see the heifers being kept locally, and
think they might still be a
good investment with all
the grass we have. The only
effect these replacement
heifers are having on today’s
market is the fact they are
being taken out of the beef
supply line for now and will
become the butcher cow of
tomorrow.
That’s all I’ve got for today, and because I’m not
smarter than a fifth grader,
I’ll leave it to y’all to figure
it out!

olden days, we must gather
all our courage and set our
sails out on the open sea!”

truck and agricultural tire needs.

NEELEY’S serviCe Center
ticipates incremental annual
revenue of approximately
$650 million as a result of the
transaction.
Tyson de México, a vertically integrated poultry business based in Gomez Palacio
in North Central México,
has operated for more than
20 years. The company includes three plants, seven
distribution centers and
employs more than 5,400
team members.
"Today's announcement
demonstrates Pilgrim's
continued commitment to
our growth strategy of disciplined acquisitions that
add company value for our
shareholders and strengthen
our strategic position in the
market," said Bill Lovette,
President and CEO of Pilgrim's Pride Corporation.
Once the sale is completed, PPC currently expects
to maintain the operations
working to capacity with the
existing workforce, maintaining labor contracts in place
in both countries.
An interview with several dud wranglers and
packers showed they have accommodated the
increasing number of large people. Using Belgians,
Percherons and their crosses are mentioned often.
Draft horses are gentle beasts by nature and most
wranglers are ready with a hefty footstool to assist
in mounting up. This is done out of respect for the
infrequent rider whose needs must be met. I admire
the wrangler’s willingness despite the increase in
cost to shoe, maintain and feed the heavy horses.
The object is to give the customer a “good experience.”
Can you imagine an airline sending out a memo
to all agents, flight attendants, telephone operators
and bag handlers to make a significant effort to give
the customer a “good experience?” As much as I
depend on the airlines in my business, I cannot picture 5 or 6 airline executives sitting around the table
debating how to serve them a better snack while on
a 3 ½ hour flight.
“We should do something about those pitiful
peanuts and pretzel sticks.”
“I know, we can’t keep splurging like that!
For the big-boned traveler who takes up a lot of
room, flying is a pain. You’d think the airlines would
take a lesson from the dude wranglers. In the last
20 years obesity (such an awful word…how ‘bout
magnosity) has increased to more than a third of
American adults. That’s a pretty big market (excuse
the pun).
I commend those packers, hunting guides and
dude wranglers. They go the extra mile to make
the oversize customer comfortable even through it
increases their personal risk. I have heard tale after
tale of “mounting” and “dismounting” wrecks!
And in most instances it is the hapless cowboy
who ‘breaks the fall.’ They become a human air
bag, throwing themselves in harm’s way to catch
the descending landslide and, like as not, manages
to crawl, dig or is dragged out from under the XL
boulder once the dust is settled.
That kind of self-sacrifice should be rewarded.
I propose that at the end of each season awards
be given. Not akin to the Academy Award Oscars
but medals for bravery and service in combat conditions. The armed forces awards a Purple Heart, a
Silver Star and a Medal of Honor. We could call ours
the Black & Blue Heart, the Silver Concussion or the
Broken Buttocks.
“And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, we will present
the winner of the Ruptured Spleen medal to…Sandy
from Black Mountain Outfitters in Emigrant, Montana, who set a new state record high! Her wreck
registered a 7.1 on the Richter Scale! Limp on up
here, Sandy, and get yer prize!

one of the most popular dishes served, as well as noodles called
Udon and Ramen. The Chinese prefer to eat with chopsticks,
rather than forks. In Italy, pastas of many different varieties are
often served with tomato and other sauces. Mexicans enjoy a
variety of foods made with tortilla shells, such as soft and hard
tacos, tortilla chips, and taquitos. Olives, feta cheese, and dishes made from seafood, like calamari (squid), are popular in
Greece. In Germany, pretzels, hot dogs, and sauerkraut are national favorites. The Japanese love sushi. Sushi can be made
from cooked or raw ish, rice and other ingredients which are
rolled up and sliced before eating. Sushi is a beautiful dish, and
it is often considered as much of an art as it is food. Spaniards
are famous for their native dessert called lan. The English enjoy
tea and biscuits, as well as ish and chips. The French make a
wonderful pancake-like dish called Crepes. In Israel and Egypt,
people love to eat falafel (fried dough made from chickpeas). In

Event at Historic Washington turns violent
WASHINGTON - A private
party held at the Historic
Washington State Park gymnasium turned violent over
the weekend with numerous fights and even a gun
shot reported by area law
enforcement.
According to a statement
issued by Sheriff James A.
Singleton, deputies were
dispatched to the scene
around 1:30 a.m. Saturday
morning after a private com-
pany providing security for
the event requested their
assistance.
“Upon arrival, Deputy
Dunham and Rowe walked
around the parking lot and
made sure there were no
altercations. The deputies
contacted one of the security officers who advised
the deputies that there were
approximately 500 people at
the function,” Singleton said
in the statement. “While
talking to the security officer, they were advised of a
fight in the building. Deputy
Dunham and Rowe went
inside and assisted the security officers with the fight.
The security officers advised that the subject was
pepper sprayed and asked
the deputies if they would
escort him outside.”
Outside, Dunham and
Rowe observed a separate
altercation in the parking

lot, which they were able
to break up with the help of
the private security officers,
who again used pepper
spray to disperse the crowd.
“After breaking up the
fight, the subject was detained by security officers.
Several attendees attempted to free the detained individual as Deputy Dunham
and Rowe tried to keep
the crowd from freeing the
subject,” Singleton said.
“Deputies Dunham and
Rowe encountered several
more individuals fighting
outside. Deputies and security officers again deployed
pepper spray to break up
the fights. At that point,
the crowd of approximately
300 people surrounded the
deputies preventing them
from taking the subjects
into custody.”
Singleton said the crowd
became aggressive toward
both the deputies and the
security officers, forcing
them into a circle standing
back to back. The deputies
radioed for assistance, but
before it could arrive, the
crowd allegedly began to
hurl beer bottles, gas cans
and rocks at the law enforcement officers.
“As the crowd started
to disperse, another fight
started by the road way.
Deputies and security officers went to break the
fight up,” Singleton said. “As
deputies attempted to place
the subjects in hand cuffs,
another fight started next
to the deputies as the subject started to flee into the
crowd. Due to the amount
of people deputies decided
not to pursue the subjects
into the aggressive crowd.”
According to Singleton,
yet another fight broke out
as the deputies were making
their way to the front porch
area of the gym, and during
their attempt to break it
up, “a gun shot was fired by
someone in the crowd.”
“The crowd became
more aggressive towards
the deputies and security
officers; the only way they
were able to make it to the
gym was by gun point,”
Singleton said. “Hope city
officers and Arkansas State
Police Troopers arrived to
assist the deputies as the
crowd began to disperse.”
Singleton estimates that
100-150 of those in attendance then reconvened at
an Exxon/McDonald’s on
Hervey St. in Hope, where
officers again had to break
up the crowd.
No arrests were made as
a result of the incidents.

Dierks
Festival
Pine
Tree
Now in its 42nd year, the 2014 iteration of the annual event looks to shift focus from
traditional festival activities to a rip-snortin’ rodeo night and country-themed competitions.
KAtELYN COffmAN
Staff Writer
W
hile this year’s Pine
Tree Festival will
still feature all the
carnival and musical
fun that residents of
Dierks have come to know and love,
organizers are shifting the focus of the
annual event in a new and innovative
direction.
The rodeo has been made the new main
attraction, the talent show and beauty
pageant have been done away with and
local talent will replace big-name stars on
the festival stage. According to Mayor Terry
Mounts, the city has been losing money on
the concerts for years because there is not
enough turnout to compensate the acts they
had previously booked to perform.
“We just can’t attract the crowd to get a
named entertainer,” Mounts said.
He went on to explain that not only must
organizers pay the entertainment, but
they also have to put money into
high-dollar sound equipment
and other necessities for
elite level shows. Last
year, the festival
ended up making a profit,
“
I think the reason
why this is such
a big success is
because people
like this stuf people like bull
riding and bull
ighing. You go to
a rodeo nowadays
and everyone is
there to see the
bull riding.”
-Stacy Janes
Rodeo Organizer
but not from the concert. Rather, the degree
of public interest in the rodeo event made
it the most financially beneficial part of the
celebration.
Making a profit is important not only to
pay for the festival, but also because the
money is put back into Jack Clawson Memorial Park, where it can be used to provide
maintenance and additions to the park and
the rodeo arena.
Enter the Rodeo
S
tacy Janes, who is organizing the rodeo portion
of the festival, said bull
riding and fighting have
seen a renaissance in
popularity during recent years,
and that he believes that resurgence of interest is what lead to
the rodeo becoming so profitable.
“I think the reason why this is such
a big success is because people like
this stuff - people like bull riding and
bull fighting,” Janes explained. “You
go to a rodeo nowadays and everyone is there to see the bull riding. I
don’t want people to think I was
the one that came in here and
knocked out the country singers. I came in here trying to
help get that built back up.”
Janes remembers when
rodeo was a big part of life
in Dierks. In 1962, a riding
club started up and began
putting on at least two rodeos a year. After the quality
of the events dropped, so did
attendance. Since last year, it
seems as though those numbers
are rising. The bull riding and bull
fighting events at the 2013 Pine
Tree Festival saw a turnout of 1,200
people, but this year 1,500 or better
from within a 100 mile radius are
expected.
The bull riding and free style bull
fighting will start between 7 p.m. and 8
p.m.. Ticket prices are $10 for children 13
and up, $5 for those age 12 and under and
any under six get in free. After purchasing a
ticket, the purchaser will be given an armband to show that they have paid. Security
will be frequently checking to make sure
that all those inside the arena are wearing an
armband. If you are not, you will be escorted
out of the event.
Anyone is allowed to register, but the
event will mainly include participants from
divisions such as CRWA, ACRA, LRCA and
CBR. There will be about 40 bulls and at
least 20 riders.
Twin brothers, Ronnie and Donnie Sparks,
who are big names in the world of bull
fighting, are expected to be present. Ronnie
Sparks has won the world championship for
bull fighting and Donnie Sparks has been the
runner up.
Ronnie Kitchens, who at one time was
named Rookie of the Year by the Professional Bull Rider’s Association, might also make
an appearance.
Earlier Saturday evening, at 6 p.m., there
will be mutton busting for children who
weigh 60 pounds and under. At 5 p.m., there
will be a table set up near the arena on the
south side where kids can register. Only the
first 20 who sign up will be eligible.
In relation to the rodeo, a “Bull Fighter
Look-A-Like” contest will be introduced on
Saturday. Boys and girls 10 years old and
younger that want to be a part of it are to
dress up as a rodeo bull fighter. The participants will get to ride in Saturday’s parade
with the actual riders and fighters, and will
later be judged at the park. Whoever looks
most like a bull fighter will win $25. The
winner will be announced after the mutton
busting.
During the rodeo, vendors will be set up
inside the arena so patrons can purchase
their food and drink without having to walk
all the way back out into the park.
Fun for Kids and Adults Alike
W
hile the rodeo will
take center stage,
the festival will kick
off with a carnival,
expected to be set
up by mid morning on Friday. Attendees may either pay per ride or
purchase an armband for $10 that
allows them unlimited rides for four
hours.
The carnival is yet another new addition
to the festivities. Unlike in years past, rather
than including only bouncy houses, it will
include other rides. The carnival will be
geared towards the younger children.
“That’s what we’re trying to do - trying to
get something for the younger kids,” Mounts
explained.
About 40 food, crafts and game vendors
will be packed into the park that evening and
musical entertainment will commence Friday
night at 6 p.m. The cost to get in is $1 and
there will be a $250 give-away. The opening
acts will be gospel groups, the Crosspoint
Cowboy Church band and Harmony. The
headlining act will be local group The Midnight Hurricanes, who will play at 8 p.m.
The Midnight Hurricanes are a predominately country act that often plays rock and
R&B as well. Since 2000, they have been
frequenting venues such as Boogies in Hot
Springs, Fat Jacks in Texarkana and the
Timbers in Murfreesboro. In 2004, they participated in the Colgate Country Showdown,
hosted by Sara Evans, and came out as one
of the top five.
“We’re super excited about [playing the
Pine Tree Festival],” said guitarist and vocalist, Jimmy Carver. “It’s our first year to be
able to headline the show. The Pine Tree
Festival is a long driving tradition around
here. It’s super exciting and thrilling to be
filling those shoes around here.”
This band is full of surprises and has a
few up their sleeve for their Friday night
performance.
“We’ve got some other singers that are going to be coming in,” Carver stated, going on
to say that it includes young talent Brooke
Westfall from Murfreesboro, Maci Bishop
from Nashville and Dextin Wheeler from the
Dierks and De Queen area, as well as rising
star, Charlie Farley from De Queen.
Farley is currently on independent label
Average Joe. His style blends country and

rap, much like Colt Ford or
Brantley Gilbert. According
to Carver, the band likes to
incorporate a wide range of
music into their shows.
“We are a band of many
different characters. We’re
good country folk- good Godfearing Christian folk. We play
good music and bring good
versatility,” he went on to say.
“You can never tell what’s going to happen next.”
The night is expected to
conclude at about 11 p.m.
Events will resume at 11
a.m. Saturday morning with
a parade down Main Street
that includes floats from
churches, civic groups and
businesses. There will also
be an antique car show. The
cars will drive in the parade
then set up at the park.
After the parade, spectators can then return to the
park for more carnival rides
and venders. There will also
be a number of contests
and competitions including
archery and shooting, sawing, and a contest where
competitors attempt to guess
the weight of a load of logs on
a log truck. First and second
place winners in the archery
and shooting contest will win
free tickets to the rodeo event
that night.
Bridging the Gap
Between Then and Now
Since the Pine Tree Festival’s first celebration 42
years ago, many things have
changed. It was started in
1972 by the Dierks chapter of
the JayCees organization, the
United States Junior Chamber.
Mounts was part of the
organization and had a hand
in the Pine Tree Fest’s beginnings. The club began it as
a way to show appreciation
for and to honor the timber
industry in the area. According to Mounts, even before
that, the Dierks Company at
one time had a Forest Fest for
the same reason.
After the JayCees chapter
in Dierks was dissolved, the
Pine Tree Festival’s planning
changed hands to the chamber of commerce. This year,
like years passed, will carry
on the long-standing tradition that Dierks residents and
visitors have come to look
forward to.
“I think it’s going to be
very successful,” Mounts
concluded.

Some of our trees will
never make the cut
There are trees that might produce ine lumber for building a home, or the newsprint
for your Sunday paper, and yet a Weyerhaeuser forester will pass them by. The reason?
Those same trees provide shade for a stream where ish are spawning, or are part of
a special habitat for animals and birds. At Weyerhaeuser, we believe it’s possible
to produce quality wood and paper products people need, while protecting ish and
wildlife habitats. And we understand that what we leave in the forest is as important
as what we take out.

Arkansas’s most abundant
natural resource is timberland. With
approximately 530,200 acres of pine
timberland, Deltic Timber Corporation
is poised for growth, with much of that
growth taking place in the Company’s
forests.
With a diversity of assets that include
two sawmills in the communities of
Waldo, in south Arkansas, and Ola, in
central Arkansas, and Del-Tin Fiber, a
medium-density fiberboard plant in El
Dorado, in addition to its timberland
ownership throughout the state, Deltic
serves many local communities. In
addition to its efficient manufacturing
facilities, Deltic is involved in the growing
of communities through its real estate
developments in Little Rock and
Hot Springs.
Deltic Timber Corporation is well
positioned to continue creating value
for its shareholders, many of whom call
Arkansas home.
