Hampton 3rd Grade Students Tour KATV Channel 7
When he was in second grade, Mrs. Sabina Pickett recognized the passion in Reece Bailey’s interest in the weather and his desire to grow up to be a weather man. Mrs. Pickett decided to share that information with KATV Channel 7’s Meteorologist Todd Yakoubian. In turn, Reece was invited this year, as a third-grader, to tour the television station’s studio. He could bring 20 friends with him, so he and Mrs. Monica’s other third graders made the trip to Little Rock on Friday, October 3. The students appeared on camera and Reece, pictured at right and below with Yakoubian, got to end the program sitting right beside the weatherman. Principal Tom Sawyer and Mrs. Pickett and Reece’s parents also attended. Mr. Sawyer said it was a great thing for the
students to experience and they really enjoyed the tour. “It was real good for the school and the kids enjoyed it. KATV was real nice, and let Reece go back there. It was really nice.”

Hampton Medical Pharmacy was one of four known drug store break-ins in south Arkansas and North Louisiana last Thursday, October 2, according to Hampton Chief of Police Eric Greer. Around 1:17 am, Dolores’ Family Pharmacy in Warren before the Hampton store at around 2:50 am followed by Newsome’s Health Mart in Strong early Friday morning. Marion, Louisiana’s drug store was also hit on Friday. In all four incidents, hydrocodone was the only thing believed to have been taken. The way in which the drug store was burglarized suggests this was someone that has done this before, Greer said. “We believe it is an experienced person and probably has a history of this type of crime, even bringing a plastic bag,” Hampton Medical security cameras caught the intrusion on video and showed the glass being broken and the burglar lifting the glass up and entering the store, Greer said. Keeping low to the floor, the intruder was able to circumvent the motion sensors, Greer said, explaining that once inside the intruder attempted to disable the alarm but was unable to do so. However, because the sensors were not tripped it did not go off nor notify law enforcement at all. The police department was contacted about 7:50 am that morning when staff reported for work. The pharmacy contacted the alarm company immediately and the system was upgraded with new motion sensors. Greer said he has been working with the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department, the Warren PD, the 13th Judicial Drug Task Force and the Union County Sheriff’s Office and they were able to piece the time line together using the video from the Hampton and Warren break-ins. He said that hydrocodone was the only drug taken, but that a significant amount was taken in each burglary. The suspect did match in the two videos. Strong did not have video, but the door was broken into the same way and the same drug was taken. Greer said that the Hampton PD has modified its schedule to have someone out in “the wee hours of the morning.” This is the third time this pharmacy has
been targeted in fourteen months. The first time was August 7, 2013 and 3,667 hydrocodone pills were recovered but this time the total stolen was about 11,000 pills. The Strong drug store had about 10,000 pills taken, but Greer said he was unable to obtain how many pills were taken in the Warren break-in yet. Greer also said that about two weeks ago, four people broke into the pharmacy and stole 12 - four ounce bottles of Guaifenesin/ codeine and 3 pints of promethazine-codeine syrup and 3 pints of acetaminophen-codeine elixir. This is cough medicine that is being used as a recreational drug, Greer said. If anyone has any information that might help officers locate perpetrators in either break-in, Greer asks that you contact him at 870-798-4610 or the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office at 870-798-2323.
Although Unlikely in Arkansas, ADH Working With Schools to Locate Any With Ebola Risk The Arkansas Department of Health has requested Arkansas public schools to help in fighting the spread of Ebola. Hampton Public School Nurse Pamela Davis, RN, BSN said the school is aware of the risk of Ebola internationally, but said that according to the ADH, “Ebola is extremely unlikely in our school and Arkansas has no active or suspected cases of Ebola at this time.” However, in working with the ADH, she does want parents and other care givers to feel free to contact her at the school if “you or someone you know has traveled to Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia or Nigeria with in the last 21 days. We are working with the ADH to identify students and staff who may have traveled to the affected countries, and we have plans to screen individuals as needed in collaboration with ADH.”

History Minute
By Dr. Ken Bridges It was a freezing cold day in Little Rock in January 1864. The hangman’s noose hung over a rickety wagon in a makeshift gallows. A large crowd had braved the bitter weather to witness the sad spectacle. The condemned was accused spy and Camden resident David O. Dodd. Dodd was just two months past his seventeenth birthday. Dodd was born in Texas in 1846. His father was a tobacco merchant and moved to Little Rock during the Civil War. David Dodd, a bright young man, began attending St. John’s College. When Union forces threatened the city in fall 1863, the Dodds quickly moved south to Camden. In the meantime, he began studying Morse Code and learning about telegraphs. Andrew Dodd was hoping to salvage his business and decided to send his son to Little Rock to act on his behalf, since he had a rare birth certificate to prove his young age. Confederate Gen. James Fagan wrote a note asking Union authorities to allow Dodd’s transit. Such courtesies between enemy

officers were not unheard of. On Christmas Eve 1863, Dodd left for Little Rock. Once his father’s tobacco business was completed, Dodd enjoyed the holidays and attended a number of parties and dances. On Dec. 29, he spent the night at the home of his uncle, Washington Dodd, near the city. As he left the city limits, Union guards took his pass. The next day, he was found wandering back in Union territory. Union troops seized a notebook that included Morse Code information on Union troop movements in the capital. Immediately arrested, he was place on trial for spying. Union Gen. Frederick Steele repeatedly offered to set Dodd free if he gave up the names of any spies he had come into contact with. Dodd refused. He plead not guilty to the charges but never testified for himself. Whether Dodd was innocent or relaying information from inside Little Rock back to the South, was never made certain. On January 4, the military court voted to convict Dodd. There would be no appeal. His execution

routinely worked long hours in factories and mines. Children were expected to start working on their families’ farms almost as soon as they could walk. School was still seen as a luxury in many areas. Though considered a war crime in many jurisdictions today, boys as young as 14 serving in combat was not unheard of in the Civil War. For all the protests of Dodd’s innocence and the execution of a 17-year old, tens of thousands of underage troops served in both Union and Confederate armies. One study estimated that as many as 1 in 5 troops were under 18 during the war. Officially, only men at least 18 could serve, which was the Confederate draft age, but since many young men lied about their age, exact numbers are difficult to determine. One month later, the Confederate government, desperate for manpower, lowered the draft age to 17. Since his death, Dodd’s case has been analyzed repeatedly. It has been the subject of books, articles, and poems. Many dedicated memorials to him, including a Little Rock street. At the site of his uncle’s farm in the 1950s in what is now southwest Little Rock, the

That will include education, corrections, and health and human services. Nearly half of every general revenue dollar is currently dedicated to education. The Education Committee will soon make its recommendations for educational adequacy. This is the per student funding amount required by law to ensure every student has equal educational opportunities. Last session, we increased per student funding from $6,267 to $6,521. Once the recommendation for this year is presented, we will have a clearer picture on the increase needed for next session.

State Capitol Week in Review From Senator Bobby Pierce LITTLE ROCK – Enrollment at Arkansas colleges and universities is down 1 percent from last year, according to a report from the state Department of Higher Education. The overall decline is most notable at two-year colleges, which saw their enrollment go down from 56,116 students last year to 53,470 this year. That is a percentage decrease of 4.7 percent. Four-year universities saw a slight increase in student populations, from 97,688 last year to 98,022 this year. That is growth of 0.3 percent. Total enrollment at all public and private institutions of higher education this year is 168,816. That includes students in graduate degree programs, undergraduates, nursing students at two private nursing schools and high school students earning college credits at nearby colleges. Last year the total number of higher education students in Arkansas was 170,510. There are 11 four-year public universities in Arkansas and six had increases in enrollment. There are 22 two-year colleges and only six of them had an increase in enrollment. Arkansas Tech at Russellville
had the highest rate of growth, with a 5.6 percent increase to a total of 12,003 students. That makes it the third largest institution in the state, behind the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, where 26,237 students attend, and Arkansas State University at Jonesboro, where 13,135 students are enrolled. Southern Arkansas University at Magnolia experienced a 3.9 percent increase, to at total of 3,538 students. That made it the second fastest growing campus among Arkansas’ four-year universities. The university at Fayetteville had an increase of 3.5 percent. The private colleges in Arkansas increased their enrollment by 2.1 percent. ASU-Newport was the fastest growing two-year college, with an increase of 22.3 percent. Mid-South Community College in West Memphis grew by 6.9 percent and South Arkansas Community College of El Dorado grew by 5.1 percent. The University of Arkansas at Little Rock had the sharpest decline in student population – a drop of 5.6 percent from 12,377 last year to 11,681 this year. UALR has a high percentage of non-traditional
students. The average age of its students is 28 and most of them are completing a degree while also working and perhaps raising a family. Changes in federal financial aid affected older students more than traditional ones, who go to college immediately after graduating from high school. Another central Arkansas campus, Pulaski Technical College, also suffered a significant decrease in enrollment. Pulaski Tech’s enrollment fell from 10,526 to 9,244, which is a decline of 12.2 percent. It is the state’s largest two-year college. Both Pulaski Tech and UALR have tightened budgets in response to less than anticipated tuition caused by the declines in enrollment. The second largest two-year college is Northwest Arkansas Community College, which has facilities in Benton and Washington Counties. The decline in overall enrollment coincides with a steady increase in the number of Arkansas high school students who attend college immediately after getting a high school diploma. Last year 54.3 percent

Gideon’s House
“I’m a nobody, God can’t use me, no one would ever listen to me.” Look at Gideon, he grew up in a home that worshiped Baal, a false God. God didn’t let that stop him. He saw a man that would be willing to be used of God and look what God did thru Gideon. God can’t accomplish his plan without people that will be willing to work for him. The first thing God told him to do was tear down his Father’s God. If God can raise up a man from a home that worshiped a false God, what can he do with you and I. All he wants is a willing heart and someone who will be obedient. Gideon was willing to trust and obey God’s directions and look at the victories God gave him. We are still reading about him today and learning how God can bring anyone who will obey him, out of any situation they are in and make them victorious before God and men. Maybe you are the key to your own family, community or who knows where God may be wanting to take you, to be used to help people get free from the bondage they are under. Don’t look at what you are today, but what you can be with God working in your life.

wheel, he takes an ordinary clump of clay mud, and smacks on to the spinning potters wheel. It is imperative that this unformed mud be as close to the center of the wheel as possible. This insures stability and symmetry with the potters planned sculpture. If the clay is off center by the slightest bit, it will tend to lean one direction or the other, and throw the balance off, and eventually collapse. However, in the middle of the wheel it can form the base needed to be shaped to the potters intent. Sound familiar? When we are just a little off center in our lives, we tend to lean in the wrong directions. Our base is unstable and our direction is a bit off. It is only in the center of the Heavenly Potter’s will, that we can stand firm and have a strong foundation, and make clear decisions according to His purpose. Where are you on the wheel? “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Bro. Rhett Baxley First Baptist Church Children’s Pastor
Find Someone to Help Everyday, we see people who are in need of help. Lots of us do not know what to do. Well, the first thing we should do is to offer help. If you want to feel better about yourself? Find someone to help! Ask yourself this question: “How helpful can I be?” When you help others, you’ll be proud of yourself and God will be, too! That’s what the Bible wants us to do. Galatians 6:2 says, “Help each other with your troubles. When you do this, you truly obey the law of Christ.” (ICB) I believe that most people want to make the world a better place but we really do not know how to do it. Think about the story of the “Good Samaritan”, that Jesus told. In the story, a man who was traveling stopped to help a man that no one else would. We, too, should
be good Samaritans when we find people who need our help. A good place to start helping others would be at home. Then, try school and church. One way that you can always help other people is to pray for them. God always hears our prayers, so we should talk with Him as often as we can. When we do, we are not only doing a wonderful thing for the people we are praying for, we’re also doing a wonderful thing for ourselves, too! When we help others, we feel better about ourselves. Pastor John Maxwell gives some very good advice to use with anybody. He says, “Encouraging others means helping people, looking for the best in them, and trying to bring out their positive qualities.” One last question for you to think about. Are you the kind of person who encourages others and looks to help people or the kind to bring them down? If you are the kind that brings them down, remember that one day you will need help as well. Treat people the way you want to be treated.

Community Back to School Extravaganza-Fun in the Park
Yes, indeed it was, a BACK TO SCHOOL EXTRAVAGANZA-FUN IN THE PARK, history in the making! On August 2, 2014, the Harrell Community Park, Inc. hosted its 1st Annual Back To School Extravaganza - Fun In The Park. The HCP, Inc. board wanted to give back to the kids of the Calhoun County and surrounding areas giving backpacks and supplies to our children of the communities. We, along with the collaboration of community involvement and partnership with Central Arkansas Development Council, were fortunate enough to give 125 students k-12 returning back to school for school year 2014-2015, backpacks, supplies, free hotdogs, cupcakes and kool-aid. A bounce house was also onsite for their enjoyment. Despite the rainy weather that we had earlier in the week, participation was great. This was also tax free weekend. The children of Harrell, AR, heard first hand from Mayor Terry Anders, Bishop Chester Thompson, Rev. Ricky Smith, Board President, Mr. Saintfield Momon and board member, Mrs. Arlicia Jackson that the Harrell Community Park is on the move rising to develop a park that with a building for mentoring/tutorial sessions and a place for our seniors to enjoy as well. A vision of a walking track and playground equipment is also foreseen for the community to enjoy. The children all seemed quite enthused just knowing they will have a park in their small town community. During the opening of the event,
Bishop Chester Thompson, master of children play and involvement, had the children involved in playing games and the chicken dance. Not only did the children enjoy it, Mr. Tom Sawyer, Hampton Elementary Principal and Interim Superintendent, Mrs. Jana Young also participated. The parents, Mayor and pastors, found themselves enjoying what the children enjoyed also. It was just a glorious day for all of us. During the opening of the event, Mrs. Arlicia Jackson, board member, read a poem entitled, “Anybody, Somebody, Everybody and Nobody”. The poem seemed to have gotten all in attendance attention. She hopes to have more community involvement with volunteer services for the Harrell Community Park. She asked for volunters for mentoring, plumbing, electrical and lawn care services. However, Mayor Terry Anders agreed to engage in the lawn care services. Along with all the board members, she hopes that there will be others that will come forth and be a part of making this a park, one that will be conducive for learning, not only for our children but our seniors as well. We were also graced to have Senator Bobby Pierce in our presence. He mingled and talked with Mayor Terry Anders, Board President Saintfield Momon and board member, Arlicia Jackson. Senator Pierce commented that he wanted to see concrete and new roofing for the pavilions. He also shared some very pertinent information
concerning the establishment of the Harrell Community Park. However, it is evident that a community that works together, stays together and that is the mission of the HCP, Inc. The collaboration of the community businesses and members that gave donations near and as far as Tinsman, Little Rock and Monticello were greatly appreciated. Certificates were given to A&B Trucking & ECAC Employees of General Dynamics for their Gold Value Contribution. Also, other certificates were given to Gettin’ Down -N-Dirty Riders, Horse Riding/ATV Riding Club-Little Rock, AR for donating 50 backpacks and last but not least, Pilgrims Chapel Missionary Baptist Church for church involvement with monetary, backpacks and cleaning services. “Perhaps, you did not give for this event, it is not too late. The HCP, Inc. board will be taking donations at anytime for the yearly backpacks/supplies or for the upkeep of the park. We never want you to feel that you missed a deadline because there will never be one as long as there is the Harrell Community Park and we have children and seniors in this community.” So a challenge to the Harrell Community, “lets continue working together”. The Harrell Community Park, Inc. Board has a mission, “A community that works together, stays together!”. This work will not be in vain, it will be very beneficial for our children, seniors and community of Harrell, AR
