Technology upgrades next
for Mount Ida schools
Superintendent
Jeanne Smith told
those in attendance
at the annual distirct
facilities master plan
meeting that Mount
Ida will be focusing on
technology upgrades
in the near future.
Smith stated during
the meeting that the
broadband capabilities needed to be improved upon, but the
district would need to
upgrade their internal
infrastructure first.
Common Core testing has been a factor in
the need for improve-
ments with the school
preparing for online
testing.
Smith also stated
that the district would
like to add a second
distance learning center for the students.
This would allow the
district to offer a wider
variety of AP classes.
District buildings
are in line with state
mandates and will not
need any major renovations in the near
future.

MOUNT IDA – A routine traffic
stop resulted in a pair of arrests
for a Mena couple, with both being charged with possession of a
controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
According to a statement issued by the Montgomery County
Sheriff’s Office, Sergeant Jeremy
Lea observed a green ford Mustang driving erratically while
traveling on Hwy. 270 E.
The statement indicates that
a traffic stop was initiated after
Sergeant Lea observed the car
cross the center line more than
once. It also indicated that the
car had a brake light out.
Sheriff David White, Chief
Deputy Jarrett Scott and Deputy
Andrew Thompson arrived on
scene to assist in the traffic stop.
Sergeant Lea stated that he
could smell a faint odor of marijuana on the driver Jody Lee
Carter, age 29 of Mena. It was also
discovered that Carter was driving on a suspended license for
which he was arrested in placed
in a patrol vehicle.
The passenger, identified as Jamie Lee Goodner, age 26 of Mena,
was asked to step out of the vehicle for questioning. As she was
exiting the vehicle, Chief Deputy
Scott saw what he believed to be
marijuana in the passenger seat
of the Mustang.
Goodner was taken into custody, at which time she informed
the officer that she was concealing methamphetamine and a
pipe in her undergarments. She
was transported to Montgomery
County Jail and was searched by
a female jailer.
Officers also found other items
of drug paraphernalia during a
subsequent search of the vehicle.

Ouachita Artists
Highlights
by Allie Graves
Its the end of the calendar year, and sales may be
slowing down but there is
plenty to do to prepare for
2014 and make it our best
year ever. We can learn
how to be more organized
as a group of artists working together to have a gallery we will be proud to be
a part of. We have a choice
in what our art stands for.
We can choose to uplift
and enrich others lives
with beauty and goodness.
Everyone endures hardships and bad times in this
life, no one is immune. But
joy and happiness does
exist. We must choose to
embrace the good even as
we experience the bad. So
much of life has negativity
and harshness but we as
artists don't have to dwell
on it or promote it.
Our art can depict beauty and make the world a
little bit better. Our talents
should be used to the best
of our ability. We will never
know how many have received enjoyment from
our art.
Ouachita Artists wish
each and everyone of you
that have come through
the door of our gallery
a Happy New Year filled
with good health, love
and prosperity.
We will begin the New
Year with a slate of new
officers. The new president , Martha Koelemay,
is ready to hit the road
running with new ideas
and new possibilities for
2014. May we all be ready
to be of assistance as we
are needed. The business
meeting is January 6, 2014
at 3:30 p.m. New board
members will be voted on
at this meeting. All members are asked to attend.
The program meeting is
January 20, 3:30 p.m.
Our special guest is a
well known artist from
Denver, Co, now living and
working in Hot Springs,
A r. C a ro l e K a t c h e n i s
talented in oils, pastels
and other mediums. As a
last reminder, our Board
of Directors meeting is
December 30 at 1 p.m.
as we finish our second
year and begin our third
year in the gallery. What
a wonderful year it has
been! A special thanks
to Montgomery County
News, Mike Graves and
Dewayne Hollaway.
Creative Tip: Talent is
10% and practice is 90% to
anyone that has a desire
to be creative!
Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year

We at the Montgomery
County Food Pantry wish
everyone a very Merry
Christmas.
We had the Christmas
Blessing Friday and what
a blessing it was for the
clients but also for all the
volunteers. I am so proud
of our county for responding to the need for these
people.
Several churches and
individuals made this
blessing possible.
We handed out food
to 274 families and there
are more that called and
asked if they could get
theirs Monday and they
will. We had helpers from
the Agri class at Oden that
came and helped hand
out the food on Friday. We
had students from Oden
and Mount Ida that helped
bag the food on Thursday afternoon. I think
they all enjoyed helping.
Brother Paul Burke from
Faith Tabernacle came
and prayed with us before
we handed out the food.
We appreciate him doing
this for us. After all the
collecting of food and
working so hard to pull
this off one more time we
were all tired but joyful.
It is truly a joy to help
the people that need it.
All were so appreciative,
thanking us and wishing
us Merry Christmas.
It takes all of us to do
this and I am thankful to
everyone that did help.
God is good all the time,
he provides through his
people and we are thankful, Praise be to God. Everyone enjoy your families and your Christmas.
Thank you and love to all.
Remember Jesus is the
reason for the season.
Hittin’ the Trails...
By Leslie Coopman
Monday we began our
week off the usual way with
our daily exercise program
and then we went into the
activity room to play one
of our house favorites,
you guessed it, bingo!!
We played right up until
lunchtime and then after
eating lunch we listened
to Christmas carols as we
warmed by the fire, while
others of us got a domino
game going.
Tuesday we had our
morning exercise program
and then we spent the entire rest of the day baking
cookies and making cookies, and as we baked we
talked about cooking with
our mothers and grandmothers as the wonderful
aromas filled the air and
brought so many fond
memories back for us.
Wednesday we postponed our exercise class
for a bit so we could enjoy
a visit from the Mt Ida
second graders who came
and read their favorite
Christmas books to us and
it was really a lot of fun
and we truly enjoyed their
visit. We had our exercise
class afterwards and then
did a little bowling on the
wii as well. We had our
weekly Bible study group
meet in the activity room
after lunch and a group of
us went over to the nursing
home to visit some of our
friends there and brought
them some of our goodies.
Thursday after exercise
a group of us met up front
and loaded up on the big
van and headed to Hot
Springs where we ate at
Coltons steak house and
then went and did some
Christmas shopping before
coming home. Those of
us who stayed home had
a nice visit from Caddo
Hills’ elementary and they
sang Christmas carols and
I heard that they were
a ver y talented group!!
Everyone really enjoyed
their visit. We had a good
domino game going in the
dining room and some of
us watched a Christmas
movie in the auditorium.
Friday we had a very
inspiring Christmas program that really touched
everyone and put us all in
such a festive spirit! We
had a special lunch with a
beautiful table setting with
lots of finger foods and Hot
Apple Cider to enjoy. We
also had a visit from Santa
and he had gifts for everyone! We also revealed to
our “secret pals” who had
been there secret pal all
through the year on this
day and told them all how
much fun it was as well as a
blessing for us. We loaded
up on the big van and went
to the dollar store and did
some “last minute” shopping after lunch and got
home just in time to see
our good friends the yarn
workers.
Saturday we had our
morning exercise and then
we had a little pampering
with nail polishing and
manicures to make us feel
special. We enjoyed another Christmas movie
complete with snacks in
the auditorium to help fill
our afternoon hours.
Sunday we had our
Sunday school class aft e r b re a k f a s t a n d o u r
devotional hour in the
afternoon and they both
always leave us feeling as
if we can face the week
ahead with a smile! We
want to thank all the various Christmas carolers we
have had throughout the
month and let you know
that we truly have enjoyed
each and everyone one
of you because you have
helped make our holiday
season a very special time.
We hope that each and
everyone of you have a
Merry Christmas and a
happy new year from our
home to yours.
We want to thank all
our volunteers for your
time and many talents and
remind you if you would
like to become a volunteer

“ The Long Route”
The lure of the west has
been the catalyst for many
adventures in our travels.
The uncluttered space,
rolling prairies, distant
mountains and a myriad
of wildlife are powerful
draws to the road traveler.
We explore almost any
road marked scenic. This
method of travel often
opens up some unplanned
adventure not found in any
travel guide.
Driving west through
Wyoming after departing
the Devil’s Tower for our
next stop at Great Falls,
Montana, we avoided the
lure of a speedy one-day
sprint on I-90 and I-15.
Instead we choose the
challenging US 16 route
from Buffalo, Wyoming, to
the quiet foothill town of
Worland. This mountainous route traverses the
Bighorn National Forest
quickly rising to the bald
summit of the Powder
River Pass at 9,665 feet.
We drove for miles above
the tree line where some
forty Years earlier we had
the rare opportunity to
see a legendary Wolverine
dart across this remote
roadway.
US 16 winds its way
through a series of steep
canyons with colorful rock
cliffs seemingly changing
colors as the suns rays
search the deepest recesses for the last of the
past winter’s snows. This
National Forest was rich
in robust stands of Ponderosa Pine and Aspen
in contrast to the Asian
Beetle and fire ravaged forests we had experienced
farther south.
A night in Cody, Wyoming, introduced us to all
things Buffalo Bill. Hotels,
cafes, drug & grocer y
stores, and even a muffler shop, were all tagged
with the old bison slayer’s
name. I’m sure he would
have been proud. This
colorful town is the gateway into the unforgettable
60-mile trip through the
Shoshone Valley leading
to the east entrance of
Yellowstone National Park.
Driving through the rolling hills of this valley, in an
area known as the North
Absaroka Wilderness, is
the perfect introduction
for first time visitors to
the wonders of the Yellowstone region. Once again it
is one of the pathways you
hope never ends as you see
Osprey nesting atop light
poles and eagles soaring
over the sparkling waters
of Buffalo Bill Lake. Elk
grazed in its highlands and
the elusive Big Horn Sheep
nimbly danced across the
rocky slopes of this ancient
valley as they have for
centuries. It was difficult
to keep your eyes on the
narrow and precipitous
roadway.
Our lunch stop was at
one of our favorite National Park Lodges, near
the centrally located Fishing Bridge area of the park.
The inviting 100-year old
Lake Lodge, built from ancient Ponderosa Pine logs,
is a perfect destination
for a growling stomach.
Located on the northern
shore of the vast waters
of Yellowstone Lake it has
a cavernous dining room
with a wall of towering
windows facing the cold,
clear waters of the lake. As
always their lunch buffet is
a chowhound’s delight. A
wide variety of steaming
entrees featuring stomach
warming fare like fresh,
flaky crusted chicken pot
pies followed by their famous eight inch high carrot cake are sure fire waist
expanders.
Since we were just passing through the park we
only stopped at a few of
the most famous spots.
At Observation Point we
took the short hike to the
overlook for the cavernous, golden walled Yellowstone Canyon. From this
popular point you can see
both the upper and lower
Yellowstone Falls as they
crash over their rocky
precipices into a cloud
of mist and spray at the
floor of the valley. Just before departing the park we
took a brief hike up to the
steaming terraces of the
breathtaking Mammoth
Hot Springs located just
inside the famous North
Gate. Our possible oneday interstate trip to Great
Falls had developed into
a wandering three to four
day exploration.
It is a tradition in our
home around Christmas
time to spend some time
discussing the coming
year’s possible adventure
destinations, always a tonic for the dreary winter
months. We hope each of
you in our community have
a blessed Christmas and a
New Year full of adventure.

Every year on December 25 people around the globe celebrate Christmas Day. Christmas is perhaps the biggest holiday of
the year for some people. Many families and cultures have their
own special traditions during the holidays, including celebrating
the birth of Christ, hanging wreaths and holly, decorating cut ir
trees, baking cookies and special foods, singing Christmas Carols, hanging strands of bright Christmas lights, sending out cards,
exchanging gifts with loved ones, and preparing for Santa Claus,
or Saint Nicolas. This legend began several hundred years ago
with Saint Nicholas, a man who was credited with performing
many miracles. In Germany, he is known as Kris Kringle. In many
other parts of the World, including the U.S., he is known as Santa
Claus. His legend spread across Europe and then to the rest of
the World, because he gave children gifts and performed miracles on Christmas Eve!

The Arkansas Economic
Development Commission
is a relatively small state
agency whose work has a
big impact.
The AEDC employs 90
people who recruit new
industries to Arkansas and
who work with existing industries to encourage them
to expand their operations.
The entire community gets
excited about announcements of new industries that
create new jobs. It’s equally
important when an existing
industry expands and adds
new jobs, but those announcements don’t always
generate as many headlines.
In the past few weeks
there has been a steady
stream of good economic
news throughout Arkansas. In Mountain Home 50
new jobs will be created by
Hamilton Scientific-Epoxyn
Products, which manufactures laboratory equipment
and supplies. In Pine Bluff,
Summit Foods will acquire
a poultry processing plant
that closed in the summer
and will restore 100 jobs,
beginning in mid-January.
In Conway, Hewlett-Packard announced its plans to
add about 200 jobs, most of
them demanding technical,
engineering and technical
skills. The company had
laid off about 500 people
earlier in 2013, and the creation of 200 well paid jobs
will bring the company’s
total work force in Conway
to more than 600.
In Malvern, a 17-year-old
company named PrimeLine, will add 50 new jobs
after a $6.7 million investment in a new facility. The
firm manufacturers fiberboard molding and millwork of varying densities.
The expansion will bring
the total work force at the
Arkansas-based company
to about 100.
Vinh Long, a company
based in Viet Nam, will invest $5 million in a Morrilton
plant and create about 75
jobs making storage furniture and kitchen cabinets.
The head of the company
said during the announcement that Arkansas was
a good location to build a
wood products company
because of the availability
of material.
American Tubing will invest $3.2 million in a Springdale plant that makes copper tubing for air conditioners and refrigerators, and
will add 50 employees.
In Batesville, Ozark
Mountain Poultry will expand its operations to add
250 jobs and possibly more
when production increases.
The company sells chickens
that are free of antibiotics.
In October, Hino Motors
announced that it would
spend $55 million to expand
its manufacturing facility in
Marion and add 200 jobs.
Hino has been in Arkansas
since 2004. It manufactures
axles and components for
suspensions in Toyota vehicles.
Thermold Magazines, a
maker of parts for firearms,
announced that it was moving its U.S. headquarters
from North Carolina to Fort
Smith. The move entails a
$7 million investment and
the creation of 65 jobs in
Fort Smith.
Earlier in the year Vikon
Farms announced that it
would locate a poultry plant
in Arkadelphia and eventually hire 170 people to work
in a facility that had been
shut. In Lonoke, Remington
Arms broke ground on an
expansion of its ammunition
plant, which has been in
Arkansas since 1969.
The AEDC administers
numerous grant programs
to promote small business,
filming movies and TV
shows in Arkansas, minority-owned firms, the training
of workers for high-tech
fields and job creation in
poor areas. Its annual operating budget is about $10.4
million.

We wish each of you an

L e t u s n e v e r f o rg e t
Christmas is the time to
celebrate Jesus’ birthday.
He was born in a bor rowed manger; he died
on a cross; he was born
and laid a tomb; he arose
from the grave in three
days and ascended to
God his father and lives
forever more. This was
so people could be saved.
Salvation is the greatest
gift a person can receive
and anyone who believes
repents their sins and lets
him be Lord of their life
can be saved.
Dawn Marshal and her
brother, Ray Vaughan Reed
JR. visited in the house of
their Uncle Paul Dee Reed
and John Harrison and
Melba Reed on December
14th. They also were going
to see their mother, Ruby
Reed at the Montgomery
County Nursing Home.

Congrats, you worked hard
for it !
The Caddo Gap Fire Department held their Christmas dinner on the 18th.
The following is by Shirley Manning and is from the
Norman High School page
on the internet. “Great way
to start a new day--Had a
call from two of our NHPP,
Inc. members who have
received their newsletters
and want to help us save
the school. One will give
the amount we asked for
from each person, and
the other will give $500
now and more if the rest
of the membership steps
up to the plate to save the
school. They challenge all
of you to give your "mite"
whatever it might be, to
help keep the school in
the hands of local people.
Thanks to these generous
people. For those that
don't know, we have the
school property listed for
sale, and need to raise
the money to pay of the
property so that we can
take it off the market and
keep it in local ownership.
The plan is to pay off the
buildings and hire a director to do the "legwork" of
day to day operations. If
you would like to help we
would be happy to have
your 'two bits' how ever
many of them you can afford to give. Every penny
is tax deductible, as long
as it is a donation, not
something you buy, like
books, t-shirts, flea market
items. Thanks to these two
families, we are on a good
start to reaching our goal.
I'll keep you informed as
to how we are doing with
our goal to reach $45,000.
Merry Christmas to our
school!” So if you can help
or have any ideas please
get hold of Shirley.
And don’t forget CCHS
Christmas Classic is the
27,28 and 30th at the gym.
Norman City Hall will be
open Monday, Thursday
and Friday this week and
next due to the holidays.
Merry Christmas to you
and yours from me and
mine! May your house
and heart be full of all the
things you cherish most.

Arkansas: the Unnatural State
Thank God for Mississippi. We Arkies are fond
of saying that every time
some study shows us at
the bottom or near the
bottom of something like
education or income, our
neighbor state frequently
bails us out from being
named and shamed as the
absolute worst by finishing
dead last.
Now comes a study by
United Health Foundation
which ranks states as being the healthiest and the
least healthiest. Mississippi is ranked the least
healthy and Arkansas is
next. Hawaii is ranked as
the healthiest state.
The study found that Arkansas has the third highest percentage of its popuation ranked as obese,
due mostly to physical
inactivity. The ``Unnatural
State’’ has the fourth highest percentage of deaths
from cardiovascular disease in the nation with 319
deaths per 100,000 related
to heart disease.
As a state we are not
doing quite as bad in the
number of physicians per
100,000 with our ranking as being 11th lowest,
but Arkansas ranks dead
last (pun intended) in the
percentage of people visiting a dentist in 2012 with
only 55 percent seeing one.
Arkansas also has one
of the highest rates of
smoking by adults with
one in four smoking cigarettes.
One thing Arkies can
do immediately is walk
more. Studies show that
just walking 45 minutes to
an hour each day will help
you lose weight and fight
off the risk of dementia.
I’m not saying you
should walk the Camino
Frances as I did, going
500 miles by foot from
southwestern France to
Santiago, Spain in about
40 days. True I lost 25
pounds and four inches
off my waist line, but there
are easier and much less
expensive ways to trim up.
I think people should start
walking groups and head
out, going from Dierks to
Nashville or vice versa.
How about a stroll to the
top of Mary Stewart Hill
(apologies if I misspelled
``Stewart”)?
Fitness experts say you
have to get 45 minutes of
aerobic exercise to keep
your heart healthy and
your weight down.
On the Camino, I met
a woman from Florida
who probably weighed 300
pounds and she was walking the Camino. She told
me, (and I didn’t ask) that
she lost 50 pounds before
she flew over to Spain.
When we met she had
already shed 25 pounds in
just a few days of walking.
Her strategy was walk
as many miles as she could
and then call a cab to pick
her up and take her to the
nearest place to stay the
night. On the Camino one
can stay in alberques or
hostels which are basically
barracks for about
$15 to $20 a night and
that includes a simple sup-
per and coffee and toast
for breakfast.
I don’t know whether
she finished or not, but
Rachelle was so respected and admired on the
Camino. The Camino has
its own gossip circuit, especially in the email age,
and Rachelle was a person
ever yone talked about
or wrote. She inspired us
all with her courage and
tenacity.
At the end of day, my
walk was spiritual and
it was not about losing
weight or getting fit, but
those were just side benefits the Good Lord gave
me for walking the Way like
millions of pilgrims who
have gone before.
