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.

Mena couple arrested on possession charges Jody Carter Jamie Goodner DEWAYNE HOLLOWAY Editor 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. Carter was transported to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Of- MENA, page 6 DEWAYNE HOLLOWAY | Montgomery County News Oden students and alumni participated in the 32nd Oden High School Living Nativity Play.

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!

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 please feel free to contact myself or Sherrie Morris at 870-867-2159. www.swarkansasnews.com Jerry Shields “ 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.

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.

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. Story News by Melba Reed We wish each of you an enjoyable Christmas with family and friends. 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. Happy Birthday to Me- gan Whisenhunt Beggs and Melody Housley Hill on December 31.

CHHS cheerleaders placed third at State in Hot Springs on the 21st. 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.

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.
