NASHVILLE - Tuesday afternoon the Nashville High School Spanish Club put on its annual Spanish Festival with the theme of Un Viaje del Pasado al Futuro (A Journey from the Past to the Future).
“The theme of the festival was from a journey from the past to the future so I want-ed to go for skits that were historically relevant in not only Hispanic countries, but around the world,” Spanish teacher Kenisha Davis said of the afternoon-long event.
The annual festival is a way for the students to share the Hispanic culture and the traditions that come with along with it. This year’s festivities in-cluded traditional dancing, skits, songs and authentic Hispanic food for the crowd to enjoy.
The festival began with a performance of the folktale “The Tortoise and the Hare” put on by Braden Bowman,
who played the tortoise, and Luke Dawson, who was the hare. Next up was a

NASHVILLE - A local man made a first appear-ance Wednesday in Howard County Circuit Court on multiple drug charges.
William H. Worthington, 45, faces charges of pos-sessing prescription pills with purpose to deliver, possessing methamphet-amine and possession of drug paraphernalia. His bond has been set at $5,000.
According to a state-ment issued by Chief Dep-uty Bryan McJunkins, the charges against Worthing-ton stem from a Tuesday traffic stop that began when Deputy Steven Wakefield noticed a Chevrolet pickup driving on the shoulder and swerving on Highway 27.
“Wakefield stopped the pickup for the traffic vio-lation and identified the driver as [Worthington],” McJunkins said in the state-
ment. “Wake-field noticed a rifle in the front passen-ger’s seat of the pickup.”
W h i l e ta lk ing to the deputy,
the statement alleges that Worthington admitted to having marijuana in his pocket, and a subsequent search of the vehicle re-vealed two pill bottles in a flashlight containing over 100 pills of various prescrip-tion medications.
“Wakefield searched Worthington and found a glass smoking pipe and a clear plastic container in Worthington’s sock,” McJunkins continued. “The container had a clear plas-tic bag inside it with sus-pected methamphetamine inside the bag.”

NASHVILLE - School board members voted unanimously Monday to increase the district’s sal-ary schedule in a move that will award raises to all certified staff.
The vote came after Su-perintendent Doug Graham recommended adopting a proposal approved by 100 percent of the school’s personnel policy commit-tee. It adds $400 to the base salary of a first-year teacher with a bachelor’s degree in education, $500 to the salary of a first-year teacher with a master’s de-gree and $500 to all steps in the schedule for years 2-15. An additional provision creates a 16th step in the schedule, awarding $300 to those who meet its criteria.
Graham said the pay increases make Nashville’s salary schedule “pretty competitive” compared to other districts of similar size, and that the raise in-cludes a $100 trust fund in-
crease the school board ap-proved last month. With the raises, the starting pay for a first-year teacher with a bachelor’s degree increases to $36,600, and the starting pay for a first-year teacher with a master’s degree be-comes $41,500.
In other business dur-ing the meeting, Graham reported that for the sec-ond year in a row, audi-tors flagged the district for mis-classifying students who are eligible for free or reduced lunches.
Graham said auditors reviewing school records from the 2012-13 school year found seven of the forms out of a sample of 45 that were incorrectly calculated. Under normal circumstances, the excep-tion is not considered a severe offense, but because it is the district’s second audit in a row to contain the infraction, Graham said it becomes a “more serious offense.”

DIERKS - Tues., April 22 marked a life-changing day for Dierks High School se-niors MaClane Moore, Adam Bradshaw and Tyler Mounts. At 2:30 p.m., the trio gathered with their families and fellow classmates in the Dierks high school gymnasium to sign on to play college baseball for North Arkansas College located in Harrison.
All three boys have played baseball since kindergar-ten and have been friends equally as long.
“We’ve played baseball ever since we can remem-ber. We’ve been on the same baseball team every year. They are some of the best athletes I’ve ever played with and it’s an honor to continue
on and play college baseball with them,” Moore said.
Attending college in Har-rison was first brought up by the boys’ baseball coach, Stephen Sprick, at the begin-ning of baseball season. After considering it, Moore, Brad-shaw and Mounts traveled to Harrison to tour the college where they met their coach for next year, Phil Wilson, and talked about the program. Weeks later, they made their final decision.
Bradshaw has served the Outlaw baseball team as a pitcher. He was all state for two years, outstanding pitcher for two years, all district and participated in state finals as well as many winning seasons. He plans to get a degree in physical education and become a high

WASHINGTON -- Recently, Barack Obama -- a Dem-osthenes determined to elevate our politics from coarseness to elegance; a Pericles sent to ameliorate our rhetorical impoverish-ment -- spoke at the Univer-sity of Michigan. He came to that very friendly venue -- in 2012, he received 67 percent of the vote in Ann Arbor’s county -- after visiting a lo-cal sandwich shop, where a muse must have whispered in the presidential ear. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., had re-cently released his budget, so Obama expressed his disapproval by calling it, for the benefit of his academic audience, a “meanwich” and a “stinkburger.”
Try to imagine Franklin Roosevelt or Dwight Eisen-hower or John Kennedy or Ronald Reagan talking like that. It is unimaginable that those grown-ups would resort to japes that fourth-graders would not consider sufficiently clever for use on a playground.
When Theodore Roos-evelt was president, one of his good friends -- he had been best man at TR’s 1886 wedding -- was the British diplomat Cecil Spring Rice. So, when visitors to Wash-ington wanted to learn about TR, they asked Rice about him, and Springie, as TR called him, would say: “You must always remember that the president is about 6.”
Today’s president is older than that. But he talks like an arrested-development adolescent.
Anyone who has tried to engage a member of that age cohort in an argument probably recognizes the four basic teenage tropes, which also are the only ar-rows in Obama’s overrated rhetorical quiver. They were all employed by him last week when he went to the White House briefing room to exclaim, as he is wont to do, about the excellence of the Affordable Care Act.
First came the invocation of a straw man. Celebrating the ACA’s enrollment num-bers, Obama, referring to Republicans, charged: “They said nobody would sign up.” Of course, no one said this. Obama often is what political philosopher Kenneth Mi-nogue said of an adversary -- “a pyromaniac in a field of straw men.”
Adolescents also try to truncate arguments by say-ing that nothing remains of any arguments against their arguments. Regarding the ACA, Obama said the de-bate is “settled” and “over.” Progressives also say the
debate about catastrophic consequences of man-made climate change is “over,” so everyone should pipe down. And they say the debates about the efficacy of universal preschool, and the cost-benefit balance of a minimum wage increase, are over. Declaring an argument over is so much more restful than engaging with evidence.
A third rhetorical move by argumentative adoles-cents is to declare that there is nothing to argue about because everything is going along swimmingly. Seven times Obama asserted that the ACA is “working.” That is, however, uninformative because it is ambiguous. The ethanol program is “work-ing” in the sense that it is be-ing implemented as its mis-guided architects intended. Nevertheless, the program is a substantial net subtraction from the nation’s well-being. The same can be said of sugar import quotas, or ag-riculture subsidies generally, or many hundreds of other government programs that are, unfortunately, “work-ing.”
Finally, the real discus-sion-stopper for the righ-teous -- and there is no righ-teousness like an adoles-cent’s -- is an assertion that has always been an Obama specialty. It is that there cannot be honorable and in-telligent disagreement with him. So last week, less than
two minutes after saying that the argument about the ACA “isn’t about me,” he said some important opposition to the ACA is about him, cit-ing “states that have chosen not to expand Medicaid for no other reason than politi-cal spite.”
This, he said, must be spiteful because expanding Medicaid involves “zero cost to these states.” Well. The federal government does pay the full cost of expansion -- for three years. After that, however, states will pay up to 10 percent of the expan-sion’s costs, which itself will be a large sum. And the 10 percent figure has not been graven on stone by the finger of God. It can be enlarged whenever Congress wants, as surely it will, to enable more federal spending by imposing more burdens on the states. Yet Obama, who aspired to tutor Washington about civility, is incapable of crediting opponents with other than base motives.
About one thing Obama was right, if contradictory. He said Americans want poli-ticians to talk about other subjects -- but that Demo-crats should campaign by celebrating the wondrous-ness of the ACA. This would be candid because it is what progressivism is -- a top-down, continent-wide tissue of taxes, mandates and other coercions. Is the debate about it over? Not quite.
One of the most celebrated delica-cies of the South was found almost by accident in the remote wetlands
and marshes across the region. For gen-erations, the mayhaw berry has been one of the most popular foods in the South.
The mayhaw, sometimes called the hawthorn, grows in wet soil and is found mostly along the edges of swamps, marsh-es, and bayous from East Texas to South Arkansas and Louisiana to Georgia. As these areas are not easily accessible, settlers entering South Arkan-sas in the early 1800s typically overlooked it at first. But by the mid-1800s, this had completely changed.
Mayhaws are related to the apple and cra-bapple. The berry itself is small, round, usually no more than an inch wide, and usually ripens in late April and early May, giving it the name “mayhaw.” Its earlier ripening time compared to other local fruits added to its value to locals.
Because the mayhaw typically grows so close to bodies of water, thousands of the berries could be found in spring floating along and easy for any-one passing by in a small boat or raft to gather. As a result, early pioneer families would often head out to the waterways to collect as many mayhaws as possible to make into preserves and jellies.
In an era long before mass marketing and mass production of popular foodstuffs, making jellies and preserves at home became a favorite way for farm families to extend their food supplies, which were limited by the available growing season and the remote locations of their homesteads. Over time, many would experiment with different ways of making preserves and jellies. With the differ-ent fruits and berries available, literally hundreds of variations emerged. Some of these became popular recipes while others remained jealously guarded family secrets.
By the early 1900s, the reputation of the may-haw had spread outside the South, and many restaurants and chefs noted their frustration at the often limited availability of the jelly. As the South grew steadily more urban after World War II, refrigeration and the rise of supermarkets started a change in eating habits and cooking traditions. By the later decades of the twentieth century, homemade jellies and preserves became more a product of budget-conscious families and hobby-ists.
The natural habitat of the mayhaw has shrunk as housing and farming has claimed the flora along lakes and bayous. However, growers have discov-ered that the berry can grow well outside its soggy natural home, encouraging producers to expand cultivation efforts. In recent years, mayhaw enthu-siasts have been finding new uses for the berry. The mayhaw can be used in butters, wine, syrups, brandy, sauces, and ice cream.
Four cities across the South celebrate the mayhaw with annual festivals. Since 1992, El Dorado has had its own popular Mayhaw Festival, a two-day free event of music and mayhaw jelly held the first weekend of each May, sponsored by the South Arkansas Historical Foundation. The foundation has announced that it will again sponsor the Mayhaw Festival scheduled for May 2-3 at the Newton House Museum site just north of downtown El Dorado. A website is available at www.mayhawfestival.com.

NASHVILLE – Howard Memorial Hospital has fi-nalized plans to purchase lot seven from the HMH Foundation to begin con-struction of an outpatient geriatric behavioral health facility. The board members approved the layout referred to as Option E from architect Mark Bailey. The building will be approximately 2,000 square feet and will face Medical Circle drive. The hospital requested the City of Nashville to close Young Lane to accommodate the width of the parking lot and entrance to the facility. The city aldermen met Tuesday and unanimously approved an ordinance closing Young Lane.
According to Howard Memorial Hospital’s CEO Debra Wright, an immigra-tion attorney has sent a list of information and docu-ments to complete for the J1 visa waiver application for Dr. Syed Javed. Dr. Javed has also contacted the Arkansas State Medical Board for his medical license application. Furnishings to equip Dr. Javed’s clinic has been se-lected and will be ordered later this month. Dr. Oge has also approved the sign selected for the clinic and it is scheduled to be ordered as soon as quotes from two vendors are received.
The hospital has begun a marketing campaign to increase market share for services available at HMH by reducing the outmigra-tion for services from the communities they serve. The hospital has scheduled a presentation by Dr. Oge on sleep disorders on Tues., May 6 at 6:30 p.m. in the hospital’s cafeteria. They also purchased a billboard advertisement featuring the
two general surgeons in De Queen, a TV commercial fea-turing both surgical services and rehab services on KTAL Channel Six and some forms of social media are also being utilized to highlight HMH services. The Legato Health-care Marketing has present-ed its marketing plan that includes situation analysis, HMH strengths, challenges, opportunities for growth, a focus on service excellence, positioning and defining the HMH brand, promote overall capabilities of HMH brand and service line prioritiza-tion. The plan aggressively promotes a regional sleep disorders center, an overall capabilities campaign and emphasizes key outpatient surgeries in ophthalmology and gynecology. The market-ing strategy will include the digital visibility of HMH to target a younger demograph-ic audience using social media, a revamped website and internet advertising. Tra-ditional media will be used to
promote the website.The hospital will host a
blood drive on May 13. Do-nors will receive a free t-shirt from Life Share along with having their name entered into a drawing for door priz-es from HMH. The hospital also plans to participate in a health fair at the Murfrees-boro City Park on May 15 for the senior citizens of Pike County.
The Howard Memorial Hospital selected the schol-arship recipients. Recipients are BreAuna Cooper, Lindsay Coulter, Lydia Gaddis, Kaitlin Gleba, Kendrick Langston and Sydney Stamps.
The Glamorous Gala, ac-cording to Howard Memo-rial Foundation Executive Director Amelia Moorer, has a gross revenue of $37,000 to date with more expected.

What changes are you
and your family facing?
Whether it is with children,
aging parents, moving to
a new job or town, or just
living in a society where
change is happening every-
day with technology, it can
be a struggle. Fact is most
people do not like change.
We get very comfortable
with the life we live. So
here are a few tips to help
us accept the changes that
life throws at us on a daily
basis.
Attitude: Our attitude
has a lot to do with how
we deal with change. Many
times in dealing with the
stress of change we can fall
into the victim attitude. If
this happens, we develop
a negative outlook on life,
lose energy, creativity, and
stamina, those things that
are needed to help us deal
with change in a positive
way. Those who deal with
change the best are those
who look forward to change
and can see it as an excit-
ing venture rather than as
a victim.
Rituals and Routines:
When change is occurring,
try to keep as many things
as possible the same dur-
ing change without getting
in the way of the change.
Routines are especially im-
portant for young children.
Maybe your family is mov-
ing to a new town. Try to
keep meal times, bedtimes
and other everyday rou-
tines the same. Even adults
like rituals and routines. It
may be that cup of coffee,
daily exercise, meditation,
or quite time at the same
time every day. Our rituals
and routines give us a sense
of continuity and security
no matter what changes we
are going through.
Communication: Large
companies have found that
when a major change is oc-
curring at the workplace
with the company, em-
ployees are more willing to
accept whatever change is
taking place if the lines of
communication are open.
The more communication
that can be provided be-
tween all family members,
the better everyone will
adapt to the change.
Self Care: Curing times
of change it is important
to take care of ourselves.
This means both physically
and emotionally. When big
changes occur, sometimes
we have to let go of the past
and embrace the future.
Many times this involves a
grieving process. We may
go through denial, anger,
depression, maybe guilt,
trying to bargain to prevent
the change, and finally ac-ceptance. It is okay to go through this process, while paying attention to your physical health and well being. Eat healthy and get enough exercise if possible. A healthy diet and exercise helps reduce the stress caused by change.
Humor: It has been said that “Laughter is the best medicine!” In fact, laughter causes the same chemical changes in the brain as does exercise. So, if you can’t exercise, laugh. Find a good, humorous book to read. Watch funny movies. Tell jokes, etc. Whatever makes you laugh can make you feel better.
Remember, in order to change, adopt a positive attitude, increase com-munication with everyone involved in the change, maintain your daily rituals and routines if possible, take care of yourself emo-tionally and physically, and maintain a sense of humor. The University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Ser-vice has several great free
publications to help deal with change. “Managing Stress: Turning Challenges Into Blessings,” “Getting Our Hearts Right: Three Keys to Better Relation-ships,” and “The Personal Journey” are all great pro-grams that you can do at home which will help you develop a more positive outlook on life.
Also, “Navigating Life’s Journey” provides free, weekly well-being tips on line. To sign up go to http://www.uaex.edu/health-liv-ing/personal-family-well-being/personal/navigating-lifes-journey-self.aspx. You will receive weekly tips relating to personal well-being, couple’s relation-ships, and parenting.
If you would like to re-ceive the other publica-tions mentioned or for more information, contact the Howard County Exten-sion Office at 870-845-7517
or visit our office located on the second floor of the courthouse.
Don’t forget the pro-gram, “Family Dinners – Crock Pot and Oven Meals” scheduled for Tuesday, April 29, 2014 at 6:00 p.m. at the EH Center in Nashville.
This program is open to anyone wanting to learn how prepare full nutritious meals without a lot of prep-aration. It is especially de-signed for people wanting to learn more about the Extension Homemaker pro-gram in Howard County. Call the office for more information.
This program is open to all eligible persons with-out regard to race, color, national origin, religion, gender, age, disability, marital or veteran status, or any other legally pro-tected status. Persons with disabilities who require alternative means for com-
munication of program information (large print, audiotapes, etc.) should notify the county Extension office as soon as possible prior to the activity.
Recipe of the Week
This is a repeat recipe that I have shared a couple of times. I always get re-quests for the recipe when I make it. In fact, it is one of my daughter’s favorite salads. Strawberries are in season, so they make the recipe taste even better. This recipe comes from the Arkansas Extension Homemakers Council State Cookbook, which was pub-lished a few years ago.
Strawberry Spinach Salad
Dressing:½ cup sugar¼ cup red wine vinegar½ cup canola oil1 Tablespoon poppy
seeds1 Tablespoon sesame
seeds¼ teaspoon paprikaMix together and set
aside. You can use apple cider vinegar if preferred. I use the red wine vinegar.
Topping:
1 cup sliced almonds2 Tablespoons brown
sugar2 Tablespoons butterMelt butter in a small
skillet and add brown sugar. Add almonds. Stir again. Cook until caramelized, stirring often. Watch close-ly, almonds burn very eas-ily. Remove from pan and spread out on wax paper or parchment paper. Sepa-rate almonds as much as you can. Allow to cool and break apart.
Salad: 1 cup strawberries,
sliced1 bag ready to eat spin-
achI usually buy the baby
spinach and tear off the stems. You don’t have to do this, but I just think it looks better this way. Put spinach and strawberries in a bowl, drizzle with dressing. You may not use all of it. Sprin-kle almonds on top. Toss and serve immediately.
Do not make this salad ahead of time. You can car-ry the spinach and straw-berries in a serving bowl and add the rest of the ingredients if you plan on carrying this to a potluck.

NASHVILLE - Howard
County Justices of the
Peace fiercely debated but ultimately tabled discus-sion over whether or not to renew the county’s exclusive contract with Howard Coun-ty Ambulance Service during a lengthy Monday meeting.
Discussion on the subject arose after HCAS owner John Gray asked members of the quorum court to ex-tend their agreement for five years, a departure from the traditional one-year exten-sions that have been passed annually by the panel.
“The benefit to the county is, you know you can count on us to be there when you need us,” Gray said. “The benefit to us is somebody won’t come in here and start a service offering lower qual-ity services.”
As has been the case each time the contract has come up for renewal, JP Archie “Cotton” Cothren spoke against the agreement, reit-erating past claims that the service’s response time in the Dierks and Umpire areas is too slow. He went on to describe a recent situation where Dierks first respond-ers were unable to work a medical emergency and the patient was forced to wait on an ambulance.
“Your service got there and your people did a great job, but it was almost a 30 minute response time,” Cothren said, arguing that the city of Dierks needs an ambulance stationed there permanently to adequately serve the northern section of Howard County. “If some-one is interested in putting
an ambulance in Dierks, we don’t need to stand in their way.”
Gray said his service aver-ages a 23 minute response time to Dierks from its cur-rent location in the city of Nashville, and reminded JPs that he has investigated the possibility of stationing an ambulance in the city in the past and found it unsus-tainable due to a lack of call volume.
“If somebody wants to put an ambulance service in Dierks, I’d love to see them try,” he said, adding that the quality of a new service may be suspect compared to what is offered by his company. “We’re the only two here. We’re the only two that’s ever been here except for one guy who ended up backing out. And we have the most advanced, progres-sive, aggressive medical protocols available.”
Cothren argued that even a “basic” ambulance sta-tioned in Dierks would be better than nothing, and drew attention to a recent ruling by the Arkansas Supreme Court allowing victims of the 2010 Albert Pike flood to sue the Ar-kansas Forestry Service for being ‘recklessly negligent’ in warning campers about the impending disaster. He added that leaving the area inadequately serviced could open up Howard County to the same type of litigation.
“I think that would put us being in reckless disregard to the lives of people in the northern part of the county,” he said.
Cothren claimed to have spoken with two area ambu-lance services - Pafford EMS, from Hempstead County,
and Guardian EMS, from Pike County - about stationing an ambulance in the city, and said both seemed amenable to the idea so long as no exclusive agreement existed between the county and HCAS. He said Ryan Pate, the owner of Guardian EMS, had offered to attend the meeting, but he “told him not to come” because the trip would be wasted if JPs ex-tended the agreement. Gray said he had not spoken with Pate, but had talked to the owners of Pafford EMS on multiple occasions and said they expressed no interest in expanding into Howard County.
Several of the JPs inter-jected at that point with their own ideas on how to ami-cably address the problem. Jeanie Gorham suggested that all Dierks police officers be trained as first respond-ers in an effort to stabilize patients while HCAS crews traveled to the city, but Co-thren said the police “don’t want the responsibility.”
Kerry Strasner also spoke against extending the con-tract, saying that although he did not expect a service to locate in the area for financial reasons, “at least the door is open” if the con-tract with HCAS is allowed to expire.
Finally, Dick Wakefield asked Gray if it would be financially feasible to locate an ambulance in Dierks if a large portion of the residents paid the company’s annual membership fee, which is currently $50 per year. Gray said he did not have enough information to answer de-finitively, but suspected the answer would be no.
At that point, Cothren
moved to allow the con-tract to expire and was sec-onded by Strasner. That motion failed with JPs Mar-tha Hobbs, Gorham, Brent Pinkerton, Jerry Harwell and Janice Huffman voting in the negative while Strasner, Co-thren, Wakefield and Bobby Don Turner voted yes.
JPs then voted unani-mously to table the discus-sion until next month, and Cothren said he would ask Pate to attend that meeting.
In other business during the meeting, JPs:
•brielydiscussedwheth-er or not to pay half the cost of refinishing the parking lot at the City-County Building, which was recently re-sealed by the city of Nashville. It was suggested that the Howard County Library and District Court budgets be used to split the cost, but after some debate, the is-sue was tabled until Library President Dana Newburg is able to attend a meeting.
•votedunanimously toappoint Kelly Bradford to fill the seat on the library board left vacant by Susanna Brewer, who has relocated out of the county.
• heard a brief reportfrom County Judge Kevin Smith on the possibility that the county might acquire a piece of property located behind the road department grounds it shares with the city of Nashville on Fourth St. Smith described the real estate as “a good buy,” al-though he declined to dis-close a proposed price for the property. If purchased, funds for the transaction will come from the county’s road budget, and Smith said no loan will be needed to finance the buy.
JPs debate ambulance service contract
NASHVILLE - A local man was arrested Saturday after police say an attempt to take him into custody on a warrant resulted in a struggle.
According to a statement issued by Police Chief Dale Pierce, 28 year old Justin Newton is in Howard County Jail facing charges of possessing methamphetamine withpurposetodeliver,leeing,resistingarrestandcarrying a weapon following the incident, which began around 9 p.m. when Officer Dustin Wakefield attempted to serve the warrant on Isaac Perkins Blvd.
“Officer Wakefield approached Newton and told himtocometohimandNewtonbegantolee,”Piercesaid in the statement. “Officer Wakefield deployed his taser and Newton fell to the ground. Newton continued to struggle and Howard County Deputy Blake Eudy arrived and assisted Wakefield in securing Newton.”
The statement alleges that Wakefield searched Newton following the incident and discovered a small black box containing three separate bags, which in turn contained approximately four grams a crystal like substance believed to be methamphetamine.
“Newton also had in his pocket a stun gun type device and another clear plastic bag containing pills,” Pierce said. “The suspected controlled substance will be submitted to the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory for chemical analysis.”

NASHVILLE - A sixth in-
ning scoring frenzy lifted
Nashville over conference
foes Arkansas Baptist Mon-
day as the Scrapperettes
claimed an 8-3 victory over
the visiting Lady Eagles.
Six of Nashville’s eight
points came at the bottom of
the sixth stanza, breaking a
2-2 deadlock that had lasted
four innings prior to the rally.
Kathleen Lance (1-3) and
Keeley Miller (2-4) led the
team offensively, recording
a run and two RBIs each,
while Shayla Wright (2-4)
was close behind with a
run and an RBI of her own.
Avery Kesterson tallied two
runs with a 1-4 performance
at bat, and Hannah White,
Kynnedi Gordon and Kaylea
Carver each recorded a run
despite never getting a hit.
Action for Nashville got
underway at the bottom of
the first, when they roared back from a 2-0 deficit with two runs of their own. Wright got things started with a ground ball to center field
that scored Kesterson, then Miller hit a home run with the bases empty to account for the other score.
Scoring would remain stagnant until the bottom of the sixth, when Kester-son got things started by reaching base on an error, which scored White and Gordon. One play later, Wright also reached base on an error, scoring Carver, then Lance hit a line drive to right field, scoring Kes-terson. Lance tallied a run of her own on the next play after Miller hit a line drive to left field.
The Lady Eagles respond-ed with a bases empty home run at the top of the sev-enth, but were unable to overcome the deficit and Nashville escaped with the victory.
Anna Kesterson was cred-ited with the win after strik-ing out three batters and giving up three earned runs in seven innings of work.
The Scrapperettes will return to action tonight as they prepare to host Hope. Game time is set for 4:30 p.m.

NORTH LITTLE ROCK - The Nashville Scrappers notched another conference loss Mon-day as they fell to Central Arkansas Christian 5-1.
Nashville’s lone run came at the top of the second in-ning, when Justin Reed hit a home run to left field with the bases empty. The score actually gave the Scrappers an early 1-0 lead, which CAC matched with a single run at the bottom of the inning and then bested with runs in the third, fifth and sixth innings that led to their eventual victory.
The only other Scrappers to record hits were Zach Jamison, Cameron Alexan-der and Dylan Chambers, but none were able to gain any traction offensively.
Lucas Liggin was credited with the loss after he struck out two batters and gave up two earned runs in just over three innings of work. Chambers filled in on the mound for the remainder of the game, striking out one and giving up two more earned runs.
The Scrappers will return to action tonight as they prepare to host Gurdon for a nonconference showdown. Game time is set for 4 p.m.

DIERKS – The Dierks Outlaws defeated the Foreman Gators 8-9 on Mon., April 21, finishing the regular season with a perfect conference record.
“I was real proud of the way our guys competed for 7 innings. When you look up at the scoreboard and see you down 7-0 in the second some doubt may creep into your mind,” Coach Stephen Sprick said. “We kept telling them to just start with one and the big inning would happen. We were able to cut it to 7-5 and the mo-mentum turned. I was really happy to see Trendin McKinney that walk off hit. Going undefeated in this league for two years is a real testament to these seniors. Just real proud of the way we fought all night.”
The Gators jumped ahead in the first inning, scoring five runs while holding the Outlaws to nil. The Out-laws scored one run in the second while allowing the Gators to score two more, making the score 7-1.
Adam Bradshaw led off with a forced out at second. Andy Tedder hit off a double. Trendin McKinney walked. Drew Adams’ base hit to sec-ond loaded the bases. Tyler Narens’ shot to outfield was caught for the second out while bringing in Tedder. MaClane Moore was walked. Caleb Dunn caused a forced out at second ending the inning.
During the third inning, the Out-laws were able to score four more runs while holding the Gators score-less, making the score 7-5. Andrew Sirmon led with a shot to short stop. Tyler Mounts landed one past second. Bradshaw was thrown out at first. Tedder brought in Sirmon while earning the second out of the inning. McKinney brought in Mounts with a shot past short stop.

WASHINGTON D.C. - On April
9, 4-H youth and professionals
from Arkansas joined leaders from
Cooperative Extension, the United
States Department of Agriculture
and National 4-H Council at the first-ever 4-H Congressional Breakfast on Capitol Hill.
The event, attended by 250, pro-vided an opportunity for 4-H - the youth development program of the nation’s Cooperative Extension Sys-tem -- to share stories of 4-H youth impact with members of Congress and to thank them for their continued support of 4-H programming and learning.
The breakfast quickly filled with Senators and Representatives includ-ing Senator John Boozman, who sat with 4-H state leaders and young people who were in Washington, DC attending the 87th annual National 4-H Conference. Lauren Ince, Howard County 4-H was chosen as one of five Arkansas youth to participate in National 4-H Congress, a week long event held at the National 4-H Conference Center in Chevy Chase,
Maryland. Senator Boozman is an advocate for positive youth devel-opment and supports 4-H programs throughout Arkansas and the coun-try.
ECOP Chairman Jimmy Hen-ning (University of Kentucky) and Mark Latimore (Fort Valley State University) recognized the 100th an-niversary of Extension and the Smith Lever Act. Joining them at the event were several Extension directors and administrators. Government and congressional leaders, including 15 members of Congress, Dr. Sonny Ramaswamy, Director of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture at USDA, and Robert Listenbee, the Ad-ministrator of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention at the Department of Justice.
The breakfast was hosted by Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), Representative Tom Latham (R-IA), Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and Representative Chris Van Hollen (D-MD). The purpose of the event was to spotlight the importance of posi-tive youth development programs in
addressing urgent challenges facing America’s youth.
4-H is a community of seven mil-lion young people around the world learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills. National 4-H Council is the private sector, non-profit partner of the Cooperative Extension System and 4-H National Headquarters located at the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) within the United States Department of Ag-riculture (USDA). In the United States, 4-H programs are implemented by the 109 land-grant universities and Cooperative Extension through more than 3,000 local offices serving every county and parish in the country. Outside the United States, 4-H pro-grams operate through independent, country-led organizations in more than 50 countries.
Learn more about 4-H at www.4-H.org, find us on Facebook at www.face-book.com/4-H and Twitter at https://twitter.com/4H. To learn about 4-H in Howard County, contact the Howard County Cooperative Extension Ser-vice at 870-845-7517.

CHARLES GOODINEditor
NASHVILLE - Public Works Director Larry Du-naway gave city aldermen an update on several im-provements being made to Nashville’s sewer system during Tuesday’s city coun-cil meeting.
Dunaway said the re-vamping of the city’s waste water treatment plant is “just about out of the ground com-pletely,” which he character-ized as a “big step forward,” while the rehabilitation of several manholes and lines throughout the city is near-ing completion. The contrac-tor working on the latter project has been delayed by equipment failure, but Dunaway said he expects the project to wrap up soon after the mechanical issues are resolved.
“He’s done a really good job for us,” Dunaway said.
Also during the address, Dunaway and Mayor Billy Ray Jones discussed the pos-
sibility that the city might ac-quire property near the city shop on Fourth St., providing a location to which they could relocate the water distribution operation cur-rently in place at the Carter Day Center.
Jones said he had offered the owners of the property $200,000 and planned to sell the relevant portion to the city for somewhere in the neighborhood of $40-50,000, but the owners did not ac-cept the offer. The mayor said he plans to continue negotiations related to pur-chasing the real estate and may approach the council later if a deal is reached.
In other business during the meeting, city aldermen voted 7-3 to finalize retitling the position of city clerk/treasurer to city clerk and cutting the pay for the po-sition to $25,000 annually. Mike Milum, Kay Gathright and Vivian Wright opposed the measure but did not of-fer an explanation as to why they voted in the negative.

MURFREESBORO - David
Anderson first learned of
the Crater of Diamonds State
Park when he saw Arkansas’s
diamond site featured on
The Travel Channel’s “Best
Places to Find Cash and Trea-
sures.” His first visit to the park was in 2007. Because of his love for diamond hunting here, he now calls Murfrees-boro home so he can hunt regularly for diamonds in the park’s 37 ½-acre search area. Yesterday after looking for about four hours, Ander-son found a 6.19-carat white diamond, the largest of the hundreds of diamonds he’s found at the park. He discov-ered it in the East Drain area of the search field. Ander-son named his clear, white marquise-shape diamond the Limitless Diamond after the 2014 motto for the charitable organization Speed the Light. He plans to donate proceeds from the sale of this diamond to Speed the Light.
According to Park Inter-preter Waymon Cox, “The Limitless Diamond is about the size of a jelly bean, and it’s the 15th-largest diamond found at Crater of Diamonds State Park since 1972. It is also the largest white dia-mond we have registered in three years since the 8.66-carat Illusion Diamond was discovered in April 2011 by Beth Gilbertson of Salida, Colorado.” He said, “This di-amond is definitely a beauty. It looks almost entirely clear and appears to be an unbro-ken crystal.”
Cox continued, “It’s no surprise that a large diamond was found this week. Over four inches of rain fell on the park last weekend, and David found his diamond on the first sunny day following the rain. Rainwater washes soil from the search area and often exposes heavy gravel and diamonds on the surface.” He emphasized,
“David has worked hard to find more than 400 diamonds here over the years, but he had never surface searched for diamonds until this year. This is the largest, and prob-ably the easiest, diamond he’s ever found!”
Cox noted that the park
staff often doesn’t find out what happens to diamonds from the park after they are registered. “We are excited to follow David’s journey with the Limitless Diamond and to see what the end result will be!”
On average, two dia-
monds are found a day by park visitors. The colors of diamonds found at the park are white, brown, and yellow, in that order. Cox noted that with Anderson’s diamond, the current trend continues of visitors finding diamonds on the surface of the search field. Due to good rains this year, and some especially hard rains recently, the park is experiencing perfect con-ditions for visitors to find dia-monds right on the surface of the search area. Diamonds
are a bit heavy for their size, so a good downpour will wash the dirt away, leaving the diamond exposed.
Search area last plowed: Canary Hill only, last part of March; Most recent signifi-cant rainstorms: 4.25 inches, Sunday, April 13, 2014

Joyle Hartin waits to donate blood Thurs., April 10 at the Moonlighters Extension Homemakers’ Club’s regular Red Cross blood drive.
TEXARKANA - Conner
Eldridge, United States Attor-
ney for the Western District
of Arkansas, announced
that Claudie J. Miller, Jr., age
42, of Desoto, Texas, was
sentenced today on one
count of conspiracy to dis-
tribute methamphetamine.
Miller was sentenced to 140
months imprisonment with
three years of supervised
release. The sentencing took
place before the Honor-
able Susan O. Hickey in the
United States District Court
for the Western District of
Arkansas.
U.S. Attorney Eldridge
commented, “With this sen-
tence, a major supplier that
brought large quantities of
drugs into the Texarkana
area has now been put out
of business. We appreciate
the many man hours and
dedicated investigative work
by the agencies involved to
assure that this defendant
was today brought to justice.
Our office will continue to aggressively prosecute drug-trafficking crimes so that the residents of Southwestern Arkansas and the Western District of Arkansas can live without the fear of violence that comes with this type of criminal activity.”
“Today’s sentence of 140 months sends a strong mes-sage to those who would supply methamphetamine in Southern Arkansas,” stated FBI Special Agent in Charge David Resch. “The FBI and our partners in law enforce-ment will work together to
disrupt drug organizations by aggressively investigating those large scale suppliers who choose to bring these illegal drugs into our com-munities.”
According to court re-cords, beginning in Decem-ber 2011, the FBI and other law enforcement agencies began an investigation into a drug-trafficking organiza-tion involved in distributing pound quantities of meth-amphetamine in the Waldo, Arkansas area. Claudie Miller was identified as the pri-mary source of supply for methamphetamine in the drug-trafficking organization. Over the course of the inves-tigation, agents intercepted numerous wire and electron-ic communications between Miller and co-conspirators discussing the distribution of methamphetamine and the collection of drug debts. Additionally, officers con-ducted two separate traffic stops on vehicles of Miller and co-conspirators. Dur-ing a search of the vehicles, agents seized approximately $147,000 total in U.S. Cur-rency as proceeds of Miller’s illegal drug activities. Miller pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine on July 2, 2013.
This case was investigat-ed by the Little Rock FBI Divi-sion and El Dorado RA Safe Streets Task Force. Assistant United States Attorney Mat-thew Quinn prosecuted the case for the United States.
Texas man sentenced to 140 months for drug trafficking

I believe in the future of ag-
riculture, with a faith born not of words
but of deeds - achievements won by the
present and past generations of agri-
culturists; in the promise of better days
through better ways, even as the better
things we now enjoy have come to us
from the struggles of former years.
I believe that to live and work
on a good farm, or to be engaged in
other agricultural pursuits, is pleasant
as well as challenging; for I know the
joys and discomforts of agricultural life
and hold an inborn fondness for those
associations which, even in hours of
discouragement, I cannot deny.
I believe in leadership from
ourselves and respect from others. I be-
lieve in my own ability to work efficiently
and think clearly, with such knowledge
and skill as I can secure, and in the
ability of progressive agriculturists to
serve our own and the public interest in
producing and marketing the product of
our toil.
I believe in less dependence
on begging and more power in bargain-
ing; in the life abundant and enough
honest wealth to help make it so-- for
others as well as myself; In less need
for charity and more of it when needed;
in being happy myself and playing
square with those whose happiness
depends on me.
I believe that American agri-
culture can and will hold true to the best
traditions of our national life and that I
can exert an influence in my home and
community which will stand solid for my
part in that inspiring task.

performance of the song
“Head, Shoulders, Knees, and
Toes” in Spanish.
The first dance of the
evening came afterwards.
The non-native speaking
members of the Spanish
Club performed the skirt
dance “El Tapatillo,” which
is a folk dance from Mexico
that became so popular it
was declared the National
Folk Dance of Mexico. Next
came a song called “Guanta-namera” sung by Alejandra
Ramierez, Braden Bowman
and Eric Perez. This song is
one of the most famous pa-
triotic songs from Cuba and
was made an international
hit by the American group
The Sandpipers in 1966.
After the Guantanamers
came one of the most noted
pieces of the night: Sydney
Dean’s violin performance of
“The Prayer” by Carole Sagar
and David Foster. Even with a
strong wind that blew away
her music, Dean still kept the
piece going to the delight of
those in attendance.
The last of the skirt danc-
es, the Guadalajara, followed
Dean’s piece. This dance was
put on by the native speaking
students in Spanish club. The
Guadalajara is also a tradi-
tional Mexican dance. The
final skit of the festival was
a piece from Don Quixote acted out by Alex Kwok, who played the windmill, Luke Dawson, who played Sancho, and Robbie Morphew, who was Don Quixote.
The next dance was the Bachata, something Davis described as a challenge for the club to perform.
“It was a bold move that was not recommended for us to do but I wanted to try something new and differ-ent,” Davis said.
This dance originated in the Dominican Republic and is a result of the blending of Hispanic cultures. It is most popular in the United States and closely resembles a southern square dance.
The festival concluded with a singing of La Bamba and a dancing of the Ma-carena by everyone in at-tendance.
All in all, Davis said she was pleased by the outcome of the festival and looks
forward to seeing what the club will do next year under Regina Davis, who will as-sume the position of Spanish teacher next year.
“We were really creative this year with the festival. It was done by the students,” Davis said. “It wasn’t the orderly festival put on in the past. We used creative ideas from the students to create an original and authentic festival and from audience feedback. We did a good job.”
staff, board members were asked to approve a correc-tive action plan Monday night that states building principals will become more involved in processing and double-checking the forms.
“In January 2014, the
district set aside two days where the building princi-pals came in and checked each application filed for the 2013-14 school year,” Graham wrote in the cor-rective action plan. “Starting in August 2014, the building principals will start calcu-lating their building’s ap-plications. [Food Service Manager] Ms. [Tina] Conzel will still be ultimately re-
sponsible for certifying all applications. She will check all applications as the prin-cipals turn the applications into her office and she will enter into the computer. I trust that with more people double checking the num-bers at the beginning of school in the future, this should correct any issues.”
Board members ap-proved the plan unani-
mously.Also during Monday’s
meeting, the school board:•votedunanimously to
accept a $122,220 bid from Tri-State Asphault to pave the high school parking lot. The bid was the lowest of four with the other three coming from J&L Paving, Wi-ley Calhoun and Sids & Son.
•votedunanimously tore-employ all certified and
classified staff for the com-ing school year.
•accepted the resigna-tions of custodian J.M. Hart-ness, junior high art teacher Hollis Hughes, ABC food ser-vice manager Betty Parker, primary special education instructor Erin Bell, ele-mentary special education instructor LaDonna Curtis and junior girls basketball coach Buster Bonner.
•votedtohireLouAnnVance to replace Curtis, Brad Chesshir to replace Don Cooley, Veronica Fa-therree as a food service worker at the high school and Kim Reed as a high school special education teacher. They also trans-ferred Tami Westfall to pri-mary special education and Darla Lamb to ABC food service manager.
school baseball coach after college. For him, Harrison was not originally his first choice.
“It was probably my sec-ond for baseball. I planned on going to play for CBC or Coffeeville, Kansas,” he said.
Aside from the baseball program, Bradshaw also likes the size of the school.
“I like how it’s a smaller school, and it’s just like a high school, practically. Ev-erybody is going to know everybody, and the teach-ers know your name,” he explained. His goals for next year are to have a good sea-son while maintaining his grades.
Moore plays the position of centerfield.
“I feel like I’m a great out-
fielder. I feel like I have a good glove in outfield and a good arm. I feel like I’m a good contact hitter, and that I run the bases pretty well,” he said, modestly admitting his strong points. He is going to get an associate’s degree in business then transfer to a four-year university to complete his other two years of training and said he hopes his time playing for North Arkansas will lead to a scholarship from a four-year university. If none are offered, he plans to transfer to Henderson.
Like Bradshaw, he does not plan to pursue baseball professionally, but rather, is playing because of his fond-ness of the game.
“I just want to play col-lege baseball as long as I can because I love the sport. I feel like playing baseball will help me get through college,” he explained. At the start of his senior year, Harrison
was not even in the picture for Moore. He didn’t even begin to think about playing college baseball somewhere until baseball season began, and Sprick brought up North Arkansas.
Now, he says, “I am really excited for my future at North Arkansas. I feel like it’ll be a lot of fun for me and my team-mates. I hope to have a fun and successful two years.”
Moore said his goals are to “continue to work hard at baseball and work to con-tinue to improve my skills and hopefully get a lot of playing time while getting a good education.”
Mounts has been an out-fielder that has received all district honors. He has enjoyed his time playing baseball for the Outlaws, especially his senior year.
“It was fun, but it’s blown by,” he said.
He is going to college to get his basics and is yet un-
decided about what he wants to do after, but said Harrison was one of his top choices for colleges.
“I had been thinking about it awhile,” he stated. Like his friends, Mounts wanted to go so he could continue playing baseball after high school. According to him, his goals are to, “Play baseball, go to school, and just do good.”
All three agree that their parents have been some of their biggest supporters throughout their time play-ing baseball for the Outlaws and are remaining support-ive on their college decision.
“They’re very excited for me. They think it’s a great opportunity for me. My dad always wanted me to play college baseball. My parents have always been my big-gest supporters. They want what’s best to me. They feel the same way I feel, that it will be a great opportunity for me and something great for me
to experience,” said Moore. Bradshaw said his parents
approve of his attendance to North Arkansas College, but aren’t ready for him to go yet. Harrison is close to five hours away from Dierks, but, according to Bradshaw, the distance is a good thing. “I think it’s a good distance to get out of Dierks and see what’s out there,” he stated.
Mounts describes his emotions towards getting to share his college baseball journey with the friends he has been playing with since he was four as “a good feel-ing.”
“I feel pretty privileged I’ll get to have some friends there and not have to not know anybody. Also, to get to extend my career with my friends is pretty exciting,” added Bradshaw.
Moore stated, “It makes it a lot easier on me making a big move up to Northern Ar-kansas. I think it is better and
easier for me to have a group of friends go up there with me. I’m very excited to have two of my best friends go up to Harrison with me. I hope they have a very successful college baseball career.”
To anybody hoping to follow in their footsteps, the three offer this advice: “If you find something you really love just go for it. If you love baseball and want to continue your career just go for it. Focus on a good work ethic. Practice hard and play your best and don’t only focus on being out on the field; focus on being in the classroom and getting an education. That goes for any sport. If you have dreams, go for them,” advised Moore.
“Work hard,” added Mounts while Bradshaw encourages everyone to, “Follow your dreams. Don’t ever give up on your dreams. Make goals and try to achieve them.”

NASHVILLE- The Nash-
ville Rural Water Public
Authority board was pre-
sented with an audit report
by representatives of the
Wilf-Henderson accounting
firm at a meeting Tuesday night - a meeting that would typically have occurred on Thursday evening, but was rescheduled for auditor’s attendance.
This audit was the first conducted to governmental standards rather than the
lower standards the group had previously been held to, as NRWA was converted from a non-profit association to a public authority at the end of last year.
Kelly Birdwell, the repre-sentative of the accounting group, said that there were no instances of non-com-pliance or other required reporting issues under gov-ernment auditing standards.
The remainder of the meeting touched only on
small details of operation for the previous months.
Board president Mark Dowdy then discussed main-tenance expenses for author-ity vehicles, which were the one unusual outlay during the month.
Authority director Ryan Stuckey detailed water losses during February and March, saying that though several small leaks had been identified and repaired, the major loss of water in the
system was the result of a lightning strike bursting pipes on Green Plains Road last month. The loss of water has an immediate financial effect as the water has al-ready been purchased from the city of Nashville, but if lost cannot be sold on to customers.
Stuckey also reported that a damaged fire hydrant at the Center Point Fire De-partment would be replaced in the coming days.
