Central Baptist Brief Fear Not Man Jarred Elliott

It doesn’t take long to notice by watching television, or scrolling on Facebook that fear is a great motivator behind decisions. A fear of a child losing their shot to college in the future could motivate a parent to purchase stock or sacrificially save much needed money. Or perhaps the fear of not having the best safety-rated vehicle motivates a person to sacrifice looks for safety; or who can forget the vehicle insurance commercials of a man named “Mayhem” that wreaks havoc with a brazen face promoting the company as the “best of the best” in coverage, while saying “protect yourself from mayhem like me.” Fear motivates decision.

What about when people don’t like who we stand for or the principles we advocate? Do we cower in fear when we encounter resistance in carrying out the Great Commission? Do we surrender to the pressure or do we press on in what might be perceived as arrogance or empty deception? I think Jesus, the Godman, would instruct us otherwise.

Jesus told His disciples in Matthew 10:24-31 to be aware that we are to be just like Him in everything— not only in His holiness, honesty and integrity; but also to be like Him in being ridiculed and undermined.

He says “If they called the head of the house (Jesus) Beelzebul (the ruler of demons-or-Satan), how much more will they malign the members of his household?

In essence, He is saying that those who were ridiculing Him and attributing the works He did to the evillest person in existence, why would they stop with Him? But it doesn’t stop there! He encourages them to continue in the fight of the faith! My favorite parcel out of this passage is “Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” (v.28) He points to the fact that the accusers are still human, feeble and limited in knowledge especially in comparison to God the Father.

In light of this truth, I think we can take refuge in the reality that God has called us to go and proclaim upon the housetops what we hear whispered in our ears, and to not be ashamed or fearful on account of mankind, but rather reverentially fearful of the God who created him.

Seniors, can we talk?

Mrs. Sims

Caroline Beauchamp We haven’t talked much about Ruth’s mother, Mrs. Sims. Mrs. Sims lives out of town. She‘s in pretty good health, lives by herself in the house Ruth grew up in but has recently had some short term memory loss.

Ruth called to share this story. In fact, Ruth said she’s going to pass this along to as many people as she can.

As she does every night, Ruth called her mother. Mrs. Sims told her that someone was coming over to her house the next day to sell her insurance. Ruth asked “what kind of insurance”? Her mother wasn’t sure but thought it was health insurance.

Mrs. Sims assured Ruth that she was not going to buy anything. Ruth asked if she knew this person and Mrs. Sims told her no. In fact she could not remember his name.

Ruth asked how this person got her name and phone number. Mrs. Sims didn’t know. Ruth told her that she didn’t think it was a good, safe idea to meet with a stranger alone in her home and suggested that she ask a neighbor to join them. Ruth reminded her mother that she has all the insurance she needs. Her mother agreed to invite a neighbor and promised she would not sign anything.

Early the next day Ruth called her mother and asked how the meeting went. Mrs. Sims told her it went fine

and told Ruth he was a nice young man who was selling dental insurance. He left her some papers since she told him she did not think she had a dental plan - but she does.

Thinking about her mother’s welfare and the welfare of others in her mother’s situation, Ruth asked for the agent’s name and phone number and called him. She told the agent she was curious as to how he got her mother’s name and phone number. The agent told Ruth from the church directory.

Ruth asked the agent if he thought her mother understood what he told her. He said she did seem confused and unsure at times. Ruth then told him her mother was recently diagnosed with short term memory loss. Ruth strongly suggested that when he’s talking with someone who appears confused about what he’s saying that he needs to immediately end the appointment. He should suggest they reschedule the appointment and meet when either a family member or close friend can be there.

As the Annual Election Period (AEP) quickly approaches on October 15 (yes, it’s right around the corner), you may be overwhelmed with mail and/or TV ads. Be aware of information you request through the mail and agents you don’t know who call you (CMS – Center for Medicare

and Medicaid Services - has strict rules against this).

It’s always prudent to review your plans . . . with a certified, professional agent.

Thank you, Ruth, for sharing this story. Call me at 501-868-6650 and say “Caroline, can we talk?” I’ve got a story to share.

Eye On Cover Story Front Street Renovation Project: Revitalizing Downtown Newport Kacey Clare Burge

Charming Newport, Arkansas The city of Newport is known for its charm, boasting picturesque scenery strewn alongside the White river that flows natural and unsullied across the landscape of this quaint northwest Arkansas locale. It’s one of those unique, tucked away places that offer the appeal of a small town but with the conveniences of the big city not far away. Newport offers several attractions within its 13.7 mile city limits that appear on the National Register of Historic Places such as the Missouri-Pacific Railroad Depot and the Erwin Auxiliary Army Airfield, as well as plenty of outdoor allurements such as Lockwood Park and Newport Lake that appeal to both residents and tourists alike.

Downtown Happenings Over the past 11 years, an organization known as D.R.I.V.E (Downtown Revitalization and Improvement Volunteer Effort) has been working toward the revitalization of downtown Newport. The nonprofit organization, dedicated to improving a 14 block radius downtown, has been working with multiple partners to stimulate growth in the area. They have successfully reached several milestones over the past decade to include 12 new businesses, a sidewalk and lighting project worth nearly half a million dollars and several annual events such as the Delta Visual Arts Show and Depot Days that draw thousands of people each year. On May 13, 2015, D.R.I.V.E launched its largest initiative to date: an estimated $600,000 outdoor entertainment venue and veterans memorial project.

The Terry Scoggins Memorial Music Stage and Veterans Memorial The plans for this notable entertainment venue are sure to bring a new liveliness to the city of Newport.

Plans for the project include the Terry Scoggins Memorial Music Stage, in memory of the late Terry Scoggins who was a longtime owner of the Frank A. Rogers Company, served on D.R.I.V.E, was a music lover and a passionate supporter and active citizen of the city of Newport for many years. The stage will be large enough to host a variety of activities, festivities and live entertainment that will take place mostly year round in this downtown expanse located on the 400 block of Front Street. There will be plenty of outdoor seating available to host the locals, tourists and residents from surrounding areas that are expected to migrate into the city of Newport for the many exciting events scheduled to take place each year.

The design for the massive revitalization also include a prominent green space and a veterans memorial dedicated to honor the men and women who have served in each branch of military from World War I through the present day. The memorial will be illuminated at night and act as the dominant feature of the park, giving it the distinctive and honorable platform it deserves. The

plans include custom stationary benches, beautiful brick walkways and emblems of the various military branches complete with the inscription “For All Who Have Served – Past, Present and Future.” The bricks that will compile the pavers of the walkways within the memorial will be available for individuals to purchase to honor the special veterans in their lives, both past and present. There are tentative plans in place to feature a historical exhibit area as well.

Mark Your Calendars The future site of the project is currently under construction. The buildings that stood there prior have been demolished and the property has been cleared.

Currently, the park is expected to be fully functional by the first half of 2016. There have already been several announcements of events that will be hosted there.

On May 13th, 2015 KASU public radio in Jonesboro, Arkansas announced that they will be bringing back the popular Bluesday Tuesday celebration to be held monthly from April through October in the downtown venue in the year 2016. Bluesday Tuesdays will bring free blues concerts to the area’s stage, featuring talented blues artists from Memphis and the MidSouth.

In addition to the KASU announcement, RiverCountry 96.7 shared plans to hold an additional free monthly concert during the same seasonal time span, featuring local and regional bands in the southern rock, country and bluegrass genres from around northeast Arkansas.

ASU-Newport followed suit with their announcement of “Movies in the Park”, a familyfriendly program being offered once a month from April through October 2016 as well. The local college will show a feature film in the park at no cost, allowing patrons to bring blankets and lawn chairs to spend some quality time with their families under the stars.

Contact D.R.I.V.E D.R.I.V.E is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a bright new future for downtown Newport while helping to preserve the proud cultural past of the community. For more information about the Front Street renovation project or any of the revitalization efforts taking place in the city of Newport, or to find out how you can help, contact Jon Chadwell or Julie Allen by phone at (870)523-1009 or by email at director@newportaredc.org.

Notes from the Clearing Turn of Events Joseph Thomas

Burn the day with sun in hand.

Spurn the fluidity of the time through your fingers and embrace your presence in it. Learn the difference between the limits in your way and the fallacy that they exist at all. Stand taller than your body allows for your mind reaches higher than gravity’s pull. Land easy and gentle with your ego, but let your ego not become fragile or more important than that of others. Handle yourself with character, mystery and silence until your voice needs to be heard to prevent injustice or improve situation....and enjoy.

I Do Do

Cockrill - Davis Wedding Kimberlee Thomas

Laci Brook Cockrill and Landon Seth Davis first met when Seth transferred from Weiner schools to Newport during his sophomore year. According to Laci it would be another year before the two would bump into one another at a mutual friends birthday party and “catch each other’s eye.” Seth asked a friend to share Laci’s number and over the next month worked up his courage to call Laci and ask her to hang out. They officially started dating on October 7, 2006.

Over the coming years the couple would complete high school and begin their college careers. Friday, February 7, 2014 would become a date neither will forget. Laci was headed home from the University of Central Arkansas for the weekend and had stopped to do a little shopping before heading home. She and Seth had made plans with friends to have dinner at Seth’s home later that evening.

However, Laci was in no hurry and stopped by to show off her new clothes to her mom. Unknown to Laci, Seth had other plans and began to get antsy when she did not show.

He gave her a quick call and discovered she had stopped in on her mother, “he seemed a little anxious and wanted me to hurry up.” Once she arrived at Seth’s he was outside waiting on her. He instructed her to cover her eyes. Since her birthday was less than a week away Laci assumed he had planned an early surprise party for her. Once inside Seth sat Laci down, eyes still covered, and began reading

from Proverbs 31. Beginning in verse ten it begins to speak about the virtues of a Christian wife and the blessings of the man who finds one. Once he finished reading he asked Laci to open her eyes, “He was on one knee and asked me to be his wife.” Seth presented Laci a Bible with her future name upon it. Laci recalled, “There were two things that I asked for when he should decide to propose; one was to record it and the other was an engagement charm for my charm bracelet. He did both!”

Minister Llano Robinson presided over the double ring ceremony on February 7, 2015 at the Midway Church of Christ. The church was decorated with garden roses, spider mums and many other beautiful selections by Beth Ball. Family and friends had gathered to witness the blessed union. A reception catered by Billie Rice followed at the Brick Terrace Gardens in Newport. The couple honeymooned in Orlando, Florida visiting Disney World and Sea World.

Seth and Laci are both Newport High School Alumni. Seth attended UCCAM in Morrilton and is the owner and operator of LS Farms. Laci holds a bachelor’s degree in Education from the University of Central Arkansas and is teaching first grade at Newport Elementary. They live just outside of Newport with their Labrador retriever, Boog. The couple shares a love of the outdoors and love to travel. They each have a “Bucket List” and hope to mark several items off their lists in the next few years before settling in to start a family.

Great Tastes Football Fanatics Adrienne Freeman

Buffalo Chicken Cheese Dip

With fall in the air and football season in full swing, friends gather to celebrate their teams to victory or share the desperation of defeat.

No matter the final score, everyone loves to nosh on game day grub.

Instead of traditional wings, Buffalo Chicken Cheese Dip is a hearty fan favorite that gets its zip from the hot sauce and a pleasing crunch from the celery. If you want to tone down the heat, a mild wing sauce can be substituted with excellent results. If you have time, freshly grated cheese is preferable to pre-shredded, which is treated with a cellulose starch substance to keep it from clumping during transportation and it’s time on the shelf. While it doesn’t change the flavor, it does cause melted cheese more susceptible to hardening.

The recipe below is something that I had taken out of my regular rotation, but I made it recently and got raves and several recipe requests.

2 – 3 large chicken breasts (about 2 pounds), poached (either remove bones/skin or purchase prepared) 1 12 oz. bottle Frank’s Red Hot Sauce 2 8 oz. blocks cream cheese, softened 1 16 oz. bottle ranch dressing 2 ribs celery, diced 2 cheddar or Mexican cheese blend, shredded Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a 13x9x2 inch baking pan, combine the shredded chicken and entire bottle of Frank’s sauce, spreading to form an even layer. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream cheese and entire bottle of Ranch dressing, stirring until smooth and hot. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken mixture.

Sprinkle celery evenly over all and bake uncovered for 20 minutes.

Then, add the shredded cheese and

bake for another 15 to 20 minutes uncovered or until bubbly...don’t let the top get too browned or it will be hard. Remove and let stand for 10 minutes, serve with celery stalks, sturdy tortilla chips or Frito’s dippers.

I dig two serving spoons in on each end so that everyone can add some to their appetizer plate. My experience is that men in particular seem to go wild over this dip. This will certainly put a check in the “win” column!

Rebecca Pearrow It is time once again for the Healthy Women of Unity Annual Event! The mission of this organization is to provide women with resources they need to empower them with the knowledge and confidence to make informed health care decisions for themselves and their loved ones. Through events like these, women are engaged as consumers and encouraging dialogue about effective life management choices. This is a free community resource provided by Harris Medical Center.

Women can join by registering online at Unity-health. org/healthy-women-unity to be the first to know about upcoming free events and have first opportunity to purchase tickets to sell-out events.

This year’s Annual Event for 2015 will be on Tuesday, October 20th! Mark your calendars, ladies, because you don’t want to miss it. This year features the traditional evening of fun that begins with the women’s health expo and vendor fair at 4:30 p.m. Arkansas State University-Newport is the venue once again this year, as they are so kind to partner with us to provide community events such as this. A beautifully catered dinner will be served at 6 p.m. that includes glazed Cornish hens, roasted red potatoes, steamed veggies, salad, roll and cheesecake. An exciting introduction to the Unity Health Foundation and donor recognition will give you a glimpse into the vision for opportunities in Jackson County. Then the keynote address will be delivered at 7 p.m. by Kim Hodous. Kim, also known as the Kitchen Table CEO, used to be a mess. How did she go from being an overweight, stressed out mother of five who was living her life in dog paddle mode (just getting by), to becoming a best-selling author, award winning entrepreneur building a million dollar company from her kitchen table, being featured on networks such as ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox? Come and find out on October 20th as Kim shares “Happily ever after isn’t just for fairy tales: How to balance work, family and fun.”

She combines the lessons she learned along the way with a fresh perspective on work and life. She resides in northwest Arkansas and is a member of the Arkansas Small Business Hall of Fame. Kim’s stories range from the business world to the home-front and will carry you from laughter to tears. With her real life serving as training ground, Kim has become an expert in work/life balance and communication.

The Advisory Council for the Healthy Women of Unity has been very busy hand picking this special speaker that they feel will touch women with a message that endears our mission as stated above. Tickets are only $20 and include the expo, dinner and keynote presentation. Tickets may be purchased online at Unity-health.org/healthy-women-unity or contact the marketing department at 870-512-3081.

U of A, Division of Agri, Research & Extension Extension Get Fit

In the Field with Randy Wheat Randy Chlapecka

Sarah Henry Metzger

We are very excited to get started with our new Extension Get Fit program! Extension Get Fit is the first strength training program designed by the UofA Extension Service. The Extension Get Fit Program is a community-based program, developed and based on strength training research, with a focus on mid-life and older adults. However, this program is appropriate and beneficial for adults of all ages. It is designed to increase strength and flexibility.

Are you getting the amount of the right types of exercise? Current exercise guidelines recommend that adults regularly engage in three types of physical activity: 1. cardiovascular, aerobic or endurance (75– 150 minutes per week of walking/ jogging, etc.) 2. strengthening or resistance training (2-3 times per week of weight lifting, stretch bands, resistance machines, etc.) 3. stretching or flexibility (performed every day or at a minimum after completing above exercises). In addition to the general guidelines, older adults should add balance exercises to their fitness routines.

Why strength train? Strength training improves: ∙ Muscle mass ∙ Strength and balance ∙ Bone density ∙ Arthritis symptoms ∙ Metabolism ∙ Blood sugar and Cholesterol ∙ Mood and attitude ∙ Decreases depression ∙ Allows you to sleep more soundly ∙ Increases energy level ∙ Socially, allows you to enjoy others’ company and build a new circle of friends Why Extension Get Fit? This research-based program offers a variety of possibilities including the Strong Women and Men program and other routines using equipment such as stretch bands, stability ball, medicine balls, free weights, floor mats, etc. This program reaches all major muscle groups and can also include emphasis on lower back or small joints. Also, safety always comes first. Exercises may be tailored to each individual’s needs and fitness level.

Extension Get Fit is safe, structured, and affordable.

It is appropriate for all fitness levels, provides a supportive group environment, and its fun!

How do I find out more about Extension Get Fit? Join us every Tuesday and Thursday from 9 -10a.m. at ASU-Newport in the Gym. Cost is $12.00 for the class!

October means that wheat planting season is here.

I don’t look for a whole lot of wheat to be planted this fall. The price of wheat is on the low side and that makes it hard to make a profit unless yields are above average. All it takes is a wet spring to make it very difficult to obtain an above average yield.

There are some who really like the benefits of a corn, wheat, soybean rotation and they will likely plant wheat. Others may have dryland sand and in many cases single crop wheat may be their best option.

Other than those two situations, there is not a lot of incentive to plant wheat.

When planting wheat, producers should have a ryegrass control plan in place if that weed is present in a particular field. The old days of waiting until spring to control ryegrass are pretty much over in most situations. Much of the ryegrass is now resistant to many of the postemergence herbicides that have been used to control it in the past. Ryegrass control should be based on a program approach especially if infestations are heavy.

If possible, waiting until you have a “flush” of ryegrass emerged before planting can be helpful.

This ryegrass can be controlled with tillage. As with planting any crop, especially into a field with difficult to control weeds, every effort should be made to plant into a clean seedbed.

After planting the wheat, a preemergence herbicide should be applied. The easiest way to control ryegrass, especially herbicide-resistant ryegrass, is to never let it emerge. Preemergence herbicides available for ryegrass control include Axiom, Prowl, Zidua, and Anthem Flex.

Axiom should be applied from the spiking to 2-leaf stage of wheat. Axiom contains metribuzin and the sensitivity of the particular wheat variety in the field to metribuzin should be determined.

Prowl should be applied after the wheat has one leaf up until the 4-tiller stage. Prowl plus Axiom can be a good tank mix combination Zidua is a new herbicide for wheat. It can be applied from delayed preemergence through early postemergence. It should not be applied until the wheat has germinated.

Anthem Flex is a combination of the active ingredients in Zidua and Aim. The same application timing as used for Zidua applies to Anthem Flex.

A spring application of Axial will likely be required to control ryegrass escapes. It is also good to note that one year of fallowing a field and not allowing ryegrass to go to seed will typically eliminate 95 percent of ryegrass seed in the soil seedbank.
