Author Bill Farris, of Nashville recently visited with students of Murfreesboro Elementary. During his visit, he encouraged students to write, and more importantly, shared the message: if you don’t know, ask! This former teacher, coach, and principal is now a published author because he followed his own advice. A strong supporter of continuous learning, Farris believes that the solution to not knowing is simply to ask questions. When talking with students, he spoke about his published works, many of which are children’s books. Farris began writing at a very early age and was encouraged not only by peers but also by several teachers to publish his works. When he made the decision to publish, Farris explored numerous publishing -SEE AUTHOR, PAGE 2 companies; however, he became MHS athletes help encourage reading MURFREESBORO--Central Arkansas Development Council’s Murfreesboro Head Start is promoting early learning among its 3 & 4 year old students.

HOT SPRINGS NATIONAL PARK— Oscar®-nominated actor Gary Busey has created one of his famous “Buseyisms” exclusively for the First Ever 13th Annual World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade on March 17 in downtown Hot Springs. Busey, who made the Buseyisms world-famous during his stint on television’s “Dancing With the Stars” last year, will be the official starter for the parade at 6:30 p.m. on 98-foot Bridge Street. “I have a hobby that’s really wonderful because it helps me understand the meaning of one word with a sentence that reflects the word’s meaning and definition,” he explains. “These are called Buseyisms. I take these from my own heart, my own spirit and my own soul and make this interpretation so you can hear it and live by it.” The one he created for Hot Springs’ internationally celebrated parade is “I.R.I.S.H.” — INDEPENDENT. ROWDY. INDOMITABLY. SPIRITED. HUMANS. “We will use the Hot Springs Buseyism on posters, Tshirts and other promotions for our March 17 parade,” said Steve Arrison, CEO of Visit Hot Springs. “You can see all of Gary’s Buseyisms on his website — www.garybusey.com/ gary_busey_buseyisms.html — where he makes available prints and other Buseyism merchandise. The Hot Springs version will not be for sale on the website and will be available only in Hot Springs.” Some of his dozens of Buseyisms include: C.H.A.M.P.I.O.N. — CREATING. HAPPINESS. AND. MAGICAL. PROGRESS. IN. OVERCOMING. NEGATIVITY. and F.A.I.T.H. — FANTASTIC. ADVENTURES. IN. TRUSTING. HIM. Actor Kevin Bacon and his brother Michael — The Bacon Brothers — will be the celebrity grand marshals for the Hot Springs parade, and their band will play the traditional post-parade free concert immediately afterward. Busey, who was nominated for an Academy Award® for his portrayal of musician Buddy Holly in 1978’s “The Buddy Holly Story,” is well -SEE PARADE, PAGE 2 2 • Wednesday, March 9, 2016 • MURFREESBORO DIAMOND • 40 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE | Online at swarkansasnews.com | 1-870-285-2723 -Election, from pg. 1 ballot, while in Montgomery County 21 did the same. •U.S.President–Republican Donald J.

Man charged for robbing coke machine MURFREESBORO—One felony and one misdemeanor charge has been filed against a Royal man in Pike County Circuit Court. Forty-five-year-old Walter Allen Couch has been charged with breaking or entering, a class D felony and theft of property, a class A misdemeanor. According to the affidavit of arrest, Billy Plyler advised the Glenwood Police Department that a Coke machine in front of Plyler’s Home Center had been broken into and the coin box containing approximately $300 was taken on December 1. Glenwood Police Chief Jerry Lowery went to the business and reviewed surveillance video. A Nissan truck that appeared to be a teal color was shown pulling up in front of the store with one male subject inside. The driver exited the vehicle and appeared to drill the lock on the machine. He then drove the truck around and to the side of the business. Couch reappeared on surveillance with a crow bar and pried the door of the Coke machine open, reattached it and took the coin box. The surveillance camera had captured a very clear picture of the suspect. Chief Lowery had been speaking with Detective Greg Harmon from the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office about the case and Detective Harmon said the same type of robbery had happened in Zachary R. Collins, 29 of Murfreesboro, residential burglary; theft of property; Rebecca N. York, 32 of Bonnerdale, possession of drug paraphernalia; possession of methamphetamine with purpose to deliver. Patrick B. Ellison, 36 of Huntington, ADC hold—Sebastian County; Michael E. Sloan, 29 of Murfreesboro, driving on suspended or revoked driver’s license; Dwight N. Hawley, 54 of Fort Smith, ADC hold—Sebastian County; James M. Smith, 19, possession of drug paraphernalia; battery—third degree with injury; Anthony L. Inman, 37 of Oklahoma City, OK, ADC hold—Sebastian County; Jessica N. Amonette, 18 of Glenwood, do- Montgomery County. Detective Harmon provided Chief Lowery with information on Montgomery County’s suspect, Couch. Chief Lowery discovered that Couch had a truck matching the truck seen on the surveillance video. An ACIC search provided a picture of Couch and the tag number of the truck that was provided by Detective Harmon showed it was reg- istered to Couch’s parents. Charges were filed against Couch in the Pike County Circuit Clerk’s office on February 17.

Applications will be accepted in 12 counties in central and south Arkansas. Applications for regular assistance are still being accepted until funds are depleted. To qualify for Crisis LIHEAP, persons must have a disconnect notice with a disconnect date within 7 days of application date. All households receiving food stamps are potentially eligible to receive this assistance; however, the program is not limited to food stamp recipients. The program assists households with home energy and heating bills. Eligible households must meet income guidelines and furnish proof of all household income for the month prior to applying. CADC encourages households to attend mass application assistance days to apply for assistance; however, the program will continue to accept both crisis and regular LIHEAP applications after the mass intake days, until funds have been depleted. According to state policy 6710, CADC will not accept mail-in crisis applications, unless it is from an elderly or disabled person or a person unable to appear for some extraordinary reason. Those persons may also be subject to a phone interview. In Montgomery County, applications are accepted every Wednesday at the CADC Mt. Ida Senior Activity Center, 158 Senior Drive, 8 am until Noon. Call 870-8670151 for more information. In Pike County, applications are accepted every Tuesday at the CADC Glenwood Senior Activity Center, 229 Betty St, 8 am until Noon. Call 870-356-4212. Applications will also be accepted every Monday at the CADC Murfreesboro Senior Activity Center, 120 E. Court, Ste. A, 8 am until Noon. Call 870-285-2312 for more information. Please note: To apply for assistance, customers are required to show a picture ID. Customers must also show a copy of their electric and gas bill, regardless of the bill wanting to be paid. Applicants for LIHEAP assistance must meet income guidelines. For a household of 1, monthly countable income is $1,515. The income eligibility limits are set at 60% of the state’s median income level. Countable income includes check stubs, child support, unemployment, housing utility assistance, SSI, SSA, TEA, VAS and retirement benefits. Additionally, the household should bring proof of income for all household members 18 years or older for the previous month, proof of child support, proof of unemployment for all household members age 18 and older, proof of social security, retirement, pensions, workman’s comp or disability, proof of how bills are being paid. Social security numbers and birthdates for all household members are required. Failure to provide verification requested may result in delay or denial of assistance. Allow agency 35 days to make payment. For more information, call your local CADC office. NAP Summer Forge Decision Deadline fast approaching PINE BLUFF, Ark. – Arkansas ranchers with pastures or hay for livestock have until March 15 to sign-up for the Noninsured Assistance Program (NAP). This includes applying for coverage on such crops as grain and forage crops including native forage, said Dr. Henry English, head of the Small Farm Program at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. NAP protects against crops planted and grown for livestock consumption from losses due to natural disasters such as drought, excessive heat, excessive moisture or floods. For all coverage levels, the NAP service fee is the lesser of $250 per county or $750 per producer per administrative county, not to exceed a total of $1,875 for a producer with farming interests in multiple counties. Of importance to certain growers are NAP fee waivers. Basic NAP coverage is now free to all farmers who qualify as beginning, limited resource or socially disadvantaged. Socially disadvantaged now includes women, said Dr. English. Previously, only limited resource farmers were eligible for fee waivers. To be eligible, farmers must first certify their status when applying for coverage at their Farm Service Agency (FSA) office. Dr. English advises growers to sign-up for the program at their local FSA office. From the Barnyard Climate Change I read in my Livestock weekly this week that Dr. Art Douglas, trusted meteorologist the National Cattleman’s Association relies on, “believes in climate change, and the fact that the Earth’s oceans are 6 degrees warmer than a decade ago affirms this.” I discussed global warming with some animal scientists from the U of A last summer, and all three agreed we are experiencing global warming. None of the mentioned scientist would go too deep in blaming any one thing, for fear of losing their jobsyou see, global warming, like racial issues- are hard to discuss rationally. Hollywood blames corporate agriculture while they (Hollywood) fly their personal jets to the Earth Summitts. Cattleman’s Associations reject the idea the ranchers they represent could be contributing to global warming. And the heat goes on. I personally believe we are experiencing global warming, and EVERYONE is contributing to the phenomenon. I also believe it’s time we Mike Graves Publisher took our collective heads out of the sand, and, like the racial issue that divides us all, ATTEMPT to discuss this divisive issue.(Who knows, we might be discussing “Global cooling” in a few years) Here, we use recycled newsprint, then recycle the waste paper each week at the Howard County Children and Adult Center. We’re not going to stop global warming by these feeble steps- just, maybe slow it down enough for our grandkids to be able to play in the snow someday. In closing, we don’t need the United Nations to tell us the right thing to do-that is, be as kind to our life sustaining planet as possible. That’s all for this week, I appreciate ya’ll taking the time to read this imperfect opinion, offered by an imperfect man. “Let’s leave some blue up above us, let’s leave some green on the ground. It’s only ours to borrow, lets save some for tomorrow- leave it and pass it on down.” -Alabama Psalms 37:11 On the Edge of Common Sense hez wone with is his ropping dummy!

Spring is one of the four seasons, and it brings mild, warmer weather. As the Earth revolves around the Sun (It takes one full year for it to completely rotate around the Sun one time.), the side of the Earth you live on, or hemisphere, is either closer to the Sun or farther away. The warmer weather is due to the closer distance to the Sun. The beginning of Spring is marked by the Vernal Equinox. An Equinox, which only happens twice a year, is the only day of the year when both day and night are the same 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, on the opposite side of the Earth, they are having their irst day of Autumn. Our Spring usually lasts until around the end of June when the hemisphere is even closer to the Sun, and the hot Summer weather arrives. During Spring, the lowers bloom; trees once again have green leaves; plants grow; animals become active again; and gardens are planted. Lots of people begin to spend more time outdoors, while others “Spring” clean their homes. Spring Animal Sudoku Spring Word Find Springtime brings animals out from their homes and shelters.

The saying is: “Close is only good enough in horseshoes and hand grenades.” I have another category . . . Spiritual Growth. Do not misunderstand what I am saying. In order to be saved and enter heaven, close is not good enough. One must be “born again” by the Spirit of God and have his name written on the Lamb’s Book of Life, in order to be saved. In that case, close is not good enough. Jesus spoke to individuals who were close to the Kingdom but not within God’s saving grace. Be sure that you are “in Christ” to know that you are a Kingdom subject. On the other hand, staying “close to Jesus” is necessary for sanctification to occur. I have a new charger for my cell phone. You do not have to plug it in to charge the Smart Phone. BTW, my cell phone is sometimes not so smart! It messes up. Others have told me Johnny Baker, D.Min., Ph.D. Pastor, First Baptist Church, Murfreesboro that it is only as smart as the operator . . . o.k.! You just set the cell on a round platform and it glows blue and charges. I think of Jesus’ comments about the Vine and the branches (John 15). In order to have life in us we must stay connected to Christ. That means staying close to Him. Positionally, we are “in Him.” Practically, we walk with Him each day. Staying close implies a daily connection through His Word and personal prayer time. Jesus sometimes prayed all night, especially before Renewed important decisions, like choosing the 12 apostles (Luke 6:1,2). What makes us think that we could pray less and still receive the direction from God which is necessary to navigate the maze of this world? Staying close to Him also implies staying close to His people through meaningful Bible study, worship, and fellowship. When we are together with His people, we are like the coals in a fireplace that glow and displace heat. If we are removed from the bed of coals, we quickly cool off and lose our glow. We should be very careful to not distance ourselves from the Assembly (Heb. 10:25). If you stay close to Jesus you will be constantly “recharged” for life and ministry. You are loved, Bro.

I must catch them for I am their leader.” Gandhi lead the nation of India because he said clever things like that and had a very small budget since he wore a sheet, sandals with no socks, shaved his head and his staff consisted of a stick. He preached love and understanding and nobody dared to disagree with him because he was always running behind the crowd with that stick. I mention this because I recently attended a DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) meeting which honored some young leaders from local high schools recognizing them for their leadership qualities and willingness to serve humanity. It was a big honor because only one person was selected from each school in the county and the votes that elected these potential future leaders, 4 girls and 2 boys, came from both the staff and the students. I was asked to say a few words to lift their spirits to even loftier heights, to face the winds of challenge, to rise up on the wings of victory and soar with wings of Eagles… as long as I kept it under “a couple of minutes.” It takes me that long to take off my seat belt and crash helmet when I drive the zero turn lawn mower so I told them a joke that I thought Mahatma would approve. You see, “Bubba” was a young leader eager to serve too. He applied for a job opening down at the Sheriff’s office. He was told that if he answered 3 questions right he would get the job. “What is the capital of Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana?” Bubba answered, “T, A and L.” The Sheriff said that was not what he had in mind but had to admit it was technically correct. “Name two days of the week that start with a T.” Bubba said, “Today and tomorrow.” Again he was given a passing grade for creative thinking. “Who killed Abraham Lincoln?” Bubba replied that he didn’t know any- thing about that one, wasn’t anywhere near where it happened and had an alibi for whenever it was. The Sheriff told him to go home, do some research on it and if he could find out the name of the culprit within a week to come back and he would be considered for the job. Bubba went straight to the Livestock Auction Café to celebrate. He ordered a chicken fried steak, chicken fried French fries, a side order of lard and a diet coke to celebrate. His buddies asked how the interview went and he said, “I don’t like to brag but they asked me a couple of questions and I did so well that they already got me working on a murder case.” Bubba got the job, mopping floors in the jail. In his own way he serves and leads. Be proud of what you do. www.docblakely.com ‘Dear Preacher’ By tommy mounts, murfreesboro Church of Christ Dear Preacher: “I have heard it said that, if you are on vacation and unable to attend church, it is okay if you take the Lord’s Supper with you. But what about all the other things in our Sunday worship? What makes the Lord’s Supper more important?” Read Luke 22:19-20 when Jesus gave the Lord’s Supper. Also, the apostle Paul said that we do this “in memory” of the Lord. So, the Lord’s Supper is a memorial, in which we show our gratitude, or reverence and our faith in Him as our Savior. And we gather on the first day of the week, as the Scripture says (Acts 20:7). But to say that the Lord’s Supper is more important than the preaching (Acts 20:7), the singing (Eph. 5:19), praying (Acts 2:42), or our giving (I Cor. 16: 1-2) is to presume to speak for God- for God never said that!

DAISY – The Daisy City Council is investigating ways to maintain their city park in cost efficient ways. The plan is to have an adopt-a-site program for Crawford Park in which community volunteers can assist in the care and maintenance of the premises, including the ten picnic sites. The program literature states that the city is soliciting the support of volunteers because “Daisy does not have the monetary or man power to provide regular maintenance for the park” and that “adopter volunteers will “clear small debris, pick up litter and promote the park’s welfare and appearance.” The city has opened the adoption program to any civic organization or individuals that may be interested and the adoption period will last one for calendar year. Volunteers will be asked to monitor their area once a week, including such duties as maintaining grills and burn rings, checking trees for signs of illness and dead limbs, picking up litter, keeping park sins clean and visible, removing graffiti and painting picnic tables as necessary, reporting new damage from vandalism/ storm damage/flooding, and using personal power tools as necessary. The city will provide trash bags, paint and other materials for certain projects as deemed necessary, as well as the removal of gathered trash and recyclable materials. Those interested in more information, volunteering and or making a donation to the cause can contact Daisy Mayor Ronnie Partee and (501) 622-7739 or mail the City of Daisy, 15 Huey Park, Kirby, AR 71950. There is an application and waiver that must be filled out before volunteerism can legally begin. Sites and facilities will be adopted on a first come first serve basis, and the city reminds volunteers that the park is always open to the public, and that volunteering does not guarantee preferential use of the facilities. The City hopes to by the end of 2016 to replace all the grills in the park. The annual park cleanup hosted by the City of Daisy will be held on April 2 from 7 a.m. until the work is done. Part of the work will, if possible, include the removal and burning of large logs. In addition, the Daisy Volunteer Fire Department will schedule a Firewise program sponsored burn off of some of the park’s overgrowth, according to local Fire Chief Scotty Frazier. He said the window to do so was small, because the event needed to occur while there were still small numbers of people on the lake. DAISY – The Daisy City Council completed the third and final reading of a ordinance prohibiting the use of engine “jake” brakes on vehicles over one ton inside city limits, which should have allowed the measure to became law. However, the city tabled the measure without its passage, pending a conversation between Mayor Ronnie Partee and Pike County Sheriff Charlie Caldwell. As the City of Daisy employs no police force, the mayor will seek assistance from the PCSO about help in enforcing the issue. “Without their help, we are just spitting in the wind,” Partee said of the ordinance. While the council generally agreed with the tabling, the intent of the measure to help curb the truckers who “just want to be seen and heard,” especially at 3 or 4 in the morning, waking the city’s residents. The council, who normally stuffs eggs for the city sponsored Easter egg hunt, has decided this year to purchase pre-stuffed eggs, for the most part. Each member of the council donated $20 each toward the purchase of eggs and supplies. While the purchase of 500 pre-stuffed eggs for $75 will comprise the bulk of the surprises, a few eggs will be added that include special prizes. It was announced to the council that the city is currently undergoing its biennial state mandated audit, and that some of the paperwork normally accessible by the city will be in the auditor’s possession for a time. The council will open bids for mowing services of the city park and the volunteer fire department location at their next meeting on March 14. The deadline for entering a bid is April 1. See the legal notice in this week’s Glenwood Herald for more specific information about bid submission. Alderman Becky Frazier made a motion that fire department donations be placed in a separate auxiliary bank account under the guise of the city, but more accessible by the organization in times of need. The measure was passed unanimously, with City of Daisy Fire Chief Scotty Frazier, City of Daisy Recorder/Treasurer Hortense Young and Alderman Theresa Wilder to be placed on the signature card. Chief Frazier also updated the council on the possibility of some large expenses coming the city’s way in the form of changes in properly outfitting first responders. Following the shooting death of a Pulaski County volunteer fire fighter – acting as a first responder in a medical emergency --earlier this year, Frazier said the state would be considering changes such as official shirts, bulletproof vests and prohibiting the use of personal vehicles to respond to calls. The city was told in December that due to new specifications, the fire department would be forced to purchase and use new digital radios by 2017, at an expense nearing $500 each. Frazier proposed the city purchase the radios and receive training in the use from Bates Sales and Service in Mount Ida. Arraignment- Pike County Brady A.
