Biscoe Mayor Kent Smith (left) stands with the lawyers Randy Hall, Mattie Taylor, Chance Nalley, and John Doyle Nalley in front of the Des Arc Courthouse after the trial was settled in Biscoe’s favor. (Picture courtesy of Gaylon Hale.) The four-year long odyssey is now over. The class action lawsuit brought by citizens in and around the city of Biscoe against C. J. Mahan Construction Company, LLC; ParsonsMahan Joint Venture; Parsons Construction Group, Inc.; Anthony Cruz; Scott Richardson; Chris Gentry; and Bryan Hoffman has ended with a $11.9 million settlement between the parties. “We were able to prove in court that the damage was around $7 million,” Class Representative Paul Betzner said after the trial. The law firm will receive 40% of the total settlement. The remainder will be administered by a third party. The settlement was reached to avoid further appeals, according to Betzner. During the time period between September 1 and September 6, 2017, the water lines that serve East Prairie Water Distribution Systems and the Biscoe Water System were infiltrated with raw sewage causing the sewage to pass through the water meters and into the homes and businesses that receive water from these two public water systems. The lawsuit states that the contractors working on the replacement of the Interstate 40 bridges over the White River cut the water and sewer lines, and the lines were cross connected when the contractors attempted to repair them. The defendants admitted negligence in the cross connection of the water and sewer lines, but denied that they caused any damages to the two water systems. The Plaintiffs filed the request to certify the class action suit on September 18, 2017, in the Circuit Court of Prairie County, seeking property damages and damages for personal injury due to the exposure to the sewage in their homes and businesses. The defendants answered the lawsuit and removed it to the federal court, which sent the case back to Prairie County for adjudication. On April 8, 2020, the
Prairie County Circuit Court granted the motion to certify the class action, and the defendants appealed the decision to the Arkansas Supreme Court, which on March 4, 2021, upheld the Prairie County Circuit Court ruling. The defendants originally offered to settle for just over $3.5 million, but that offer was rejected and the case was turned over to a jury trial. The trial began on Tuesday, October 5, 2021 and was settled on Thursday, October 7. The Biscoe residents’ lawsuit asked for the replacement of the public and private potable water systems and appliances that were connected to water systems inside of any home or structure that received water from the City of Biscoe and parts of the East Prairie County Water Association for the time period between September 1st and September 6, 2017; damages for bodily exposure to the sewage that entered the homes and other structures; damages for medical treatment because of exposure to the sewage; punitive damages for reckless conduct in making the cross connection; pre and post judgment interest; reasonable attorneys’ fees; costs and reimbursement of the lawsuit; and any and all other relief that the Court deemed proper. The law firms of Hall and Taylor Law Partners, PLLC, of Little Rock; and Lovell, Nalley and Nalley of Benton were appointed to serve as Class Counsel. The Class Representatives were Paul and Rhonda Betzner, James and Tiffani Alberson, Kelley Kelly, Tony Patterson and the City of Biscoe on behalf of the approximately 300 residents affected. The defendants presented spreadsheets to the jury showing how they arrived at their $3.5 million number. Insurance Adjuster Duane Herndon developed a method of estimating the damages to
various homes based upon three types of homes - those built on a conventional foundation, those built on a slab, and manufactured homes. He stated in court that he felt that his numbers were 9095% accurate. The estimated damages were based on the type of foundation, how many bathrooms the home has, square footage, finished walls, and location. He made his restitution estimates on the inspection of only three homes, one of each of the three types that are owned by class representatives. He said that the cost of inspecting every home affected would run between $330,500$450,000, which would be cost prohibitive. Herndon took information provided by the Prairie County Assessor’s Office which gave the square footage
of the home and the number of bathrooms in each and plugged those numbers into his formula. According to that formula, two homes had got a negative reimbursement. Tax and Estate Attorney John Neihous also presented a spreadsheet that he developed to assess restitution costs. He took the customer lists from the two water companies affected, the repair estimates developed by Herndon, and the assessor lists for the Biscoe residents, the type of residence, the square footage of the residence, and the total base plumbing cost for each residence based on a computer program called XACTIMATE, which Neihous said is the standard for construction companies. His numbers came to $7.14 per square foot for a home built with a crawl
space, $14.69 per square foot for a manufactured home, and $31.38 per square foot for homes built on a slab. Neihous also figured in the cost of displaced residents’ living in a motel in Brinkley during the repair time, the cost of eating out, and the mileage cost of 56 cents per mile for travelling back and forth between the motel and the home. His total cost based on the information he used came to $3,514,731.40. “I think this is a very reasonable and reliable representation of the costs,” he said. After those two presentations, residents testified to the damage incurred at their homes. None of the residents were contacted by the Arkansas State Department of Health, warning them of the danger after the cross contamination occurred.
What’s that overhead... On October 7th, the DAHS Career-Tech classes had the honor of having the Wilbur Mills Educational Cooperative and the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission present a session about using drones in their careers.

Dad would live a brief time in Oklahoma working and then moved back to Arkansas, where he would live in Searcy, working for American Tool. There in Searcy, he would meet my mother, Cindy Hutchins. They would date for a short time before being married October 24, 1981. In June of 1985 they would have their first child, Cyle. In about 1985, my parents would move to Hazen and start a home on our family farm. Dad would start his career at the plant in Hazen. Dad would stay at the Hazen plant until they shut down in 2009. After the closure, he was offered a job at the Lonoke Remington Plant. In about 2014, my dad would rekindle his relationship with his high school sweetheart, Joni Roe.

Eagles run past Hornets 36-0
Blurred Vision -

“The Boogie Man”
Des Arc’s players look towards the sidelines during their 36-0 win over Hazen on Friday night. (Amanda Smith photo.) By Mark Buffalo Sports Editor The Battle of the Prairie wasn’t much of a battle. Des Arc rushed for 470 yards without attempting a pass while holding Hazen to only 53 total yards in a 36-0 win at Hinson Rollins Field on Friday night. With the win Des Arc improves to 5-1 overall and 1-0 in 2A-6 play. Hazen had it’s fourgame winning streak stopped, falling to 4-2. “We played really well up front,” Des Arc coach B.J. Paschal said. “Our backs played a good game. Our offensive line
came to play Friday night. I can’t be more prouder of the way they played. The last few games, up front, we’re really starting to gel. Hopefully, we can keep doing that the rest of the season.” Des Arc took a 6-0 lead with 5:26 left in the first quarter. Treyvion Reed scored on a 5-yard run. The two-point conversion was no good. The Eagles added to their lead in the second quarter. Bari Rockins scored on a 6-yard run with 11:24 left in the first half. Reed scored on a 7-yard run with 21 seconds left. Des Arc led
20-0 at halftime. The Eagles scored twice in the third quarter. Brock Devorak scored on runs of 8 and 7 yards. The Eagles scored both two-point conversions. Jack Kearby led the Eagles with 192 yards rushing. Devorak had 104 yards. Jake Reidhar had 76 yards. Reed finished with 61 yards. Hazen quarterback Luke King passed for only 30 yards in the game. Des Arc travels to Carlisle on Friday night to play the winless Bison, while Hazen travels to Clarendon.

His costume looks entirely unremarkable. All he has to wear is an old pair of work coveralls and a mask of indistinct origin. There is no makeup or fake blood splashed here and there on his coveralls; no facial burns, no swollen eyes, no exposed bones, no spikes of steel coming out of his finger tips, no gore leaking from under his mask. To bring the outfit together, all he carries is a common kitchen knife. He is a working man’s kind of monster. Yet, he has inspired terror in the minds and hearts of people the world wide for almost 50 years. According to the documentary “A Cut Above the Rest,” Michael Myers’ creator, John Carpenter, based his soulless monster on a real person; a patient at a mental institution he visited when he was in college. Michael’s “blackest eyes, the devil’s eyes” were inspired by a boy with a schizophrenic stair that looked through people to the middle of them. The creepy look you might receive from an accountant or politician or professional clown. Maybe that is the reason the movie franchise of “Halloween” has stood the test of time and come back in recent years to terrorize a whole new generation of horror movie enthusiasts. The reality-backed inspiration makes the mind of each fan tumble and twist with the reality of the psychopathic possibilities. Of course, the score is not to be overlooked as well. The successive high-pitched driving of those three minor notes before dropping down half a step together with the backdrop of menacing major tones brings a tension that heightens your sense of danger. In 2018 actor Jamie Lee Curtis reprised the role of Laurie Strode, the original “girl who got away” from Myers (now a paranoid survivalist grandmother preparing for Michael’s return) in a new version also called “Halloween.” The new rendition cuts out a lot of the middle movies that dealt with a
lot of ideas that didn’t really jive with the original concept. This year Laurie Strode is back again in a (fourth, third, sixth???) installment called “Halloween Kills.” Will Laurie finally rid the world of this nemesis for the last time? Apparently not. They are already shooting another installment titled “Halloween Ends,” set to come out in 2022. Maybe she’ll finally send the ol’ boy back for reprogramming, but I doubt it. I have no doubt Jamie Lee Curtis will stop being Laurie Strode after this one though. But I digress. The “Halloween” franchise is a staple in my home. The original has been my favorite horror movie since I first saw it as a kid/teenager. However, my love of the movie pales in comparison to my wife’s obsession with it. Well… Obsession is really too harsh a word, but she can quote the movie line for line. I’m not sure if she can do it backwards. I’m afraid to ask. This seemingly invincible character known as Michael Myers taps into something that is deeply ingrained in the human psyche. The idea of things that go bump at night being Boogie Men bent on mindless and menaceless murder. We all know the feeling of being a kid listening to the sounds of the night and imagining the ghouls and goblins who have taken up residence in our closets slowly peeking their heads out from behind the door. Don’t we, gentle readers? In truth, we probably long for all the evils to be balled up into one person or monster that, while hard to kill, can eventually be overpowered and subdued. The beginning of an era of only good. But, as I said last week, life is never that clear cut or black and white. Other Boogie Men have been tried in the realm of horror movies. Freddie Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Chucky, Candyman, Pennywise, Leatherface, Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, etc. have roamed the cinemascape for decades
capturing the imaginations of millions and proving that scaring people is an extremely profitable venture. People, we like being scared. There is a thrill of that rush of adrenaline when the knife falls or the rope tightens, that we are graciously free from on a daily basis. Some Boogie Men are more successful than others. Some turn into parodies of themselves by going to space or fighting other fictional Boogie Men. Michael Myers never needed to take on such trappings. In fact, he never had to do more than walk in a slow, methodical stroll that lets each of us know that death is coming. Michael is a modern day manifestation of the Grim Reaper. No other Boogie Man of lore has done such a good job wandering through the backdoors of our brains, slicing his way through the fictional, everyday victims death comes to claim. Michael is the king of the brooding, searching, demise that threatens us all. Silently, without malice, without motive, without warning, Michael claims each in turn. Except for that one person who keeps illuding his grasp. We all hope to be Laurie Strode. We long for a stiff breeze to come along each time a Fate reaches out to cut our life lines short, so we can enjoy this complicated and incredible thing called life for just a little bit longer. That is why we like scary stories. That is why I love “Halloween.” Because, every time Laurie escapes, I escape. Every time life struggles on to fight death another day, so do I. We all become the “girl who got away.” Horror films and “Halloween” in particular are not just thrilling. They are life affirming. If we can only duck soon enough, step quickly enough, or walk just the right path, we too can conquer the undefeatable foe at least for a couple of more hours.

Firemen respond to house fire By Jackie Holmes On Monday, October 4th, shortly after 7 p.m. the Prairie County Sheriff's Department paged out Brown Grove and Cross Roads Fire Departments to a house fire at 7219 Hunt Lane in Brown Grove. Brown Grove responded with 3 fire trucks and 7 firemen. Cross Roads responded with 2 firetrucks and 3 firemen. Also responding were volunteers from Slovak fire department. Often house fires in the rural areas of our county result in total loss of the house, but not this time. Due to quick response time and qual-
ity training, the firemen saved the house and kept the damage to the kitchen area. Firemen from Cross Roads were Matt Whittenburg, Kevin Brannon, and James Brannon. Firemen from Brown Grove were Blake Chambers, Dillon Cook, Kendall Cook, Hunter Baxter, Lynn Holmes, Jackie Holmes, Wylon Shadle, and Craig Dardenne. These firemen and others freely give their time every week to maintain the equipment and to train for calls of this nature. It costs money to maintain the equipment to be ready
Blake Chambers and Lynn Holmes talk after the fire. for fires like this one. If you've not paid your fire
dues please write that check soon.

The Carnival & Midway is operated by one of the state's best known carnival companies, Miller's Spectacular Shows, of Greenbrier, AR. There are rides for big kids, with names like the Screamer, the Ring-OfFire, the Rainbow and Pharaoh’s Fury. And there are rides for little kids and toddlers. There are lots of games where you can test your skills, from basketball shooting to darts. There will be food, vendors and entertainment for young children at the carnival and midway. The Arts & Crafts Fair will be in the very center of all the festival
activity – with the Main Stage on one end and the carnival on the other in downtown Stuttgart. The Arts & Crafts Fair is a juried event, so only the best quality arts and crafts items will be on display. The stores of our local merchants, will be open on both sides of the street. Attendees will have a chance to see the latest hunting and fishing equipment and apparel - sometimes before products reach the stores. There will be plenty of boats to see, including the Official Boat of the World's Championship Duck Calling Contest, the War Eagle Boat, manufactured right here in Arkansas. There will be more than 200 commercial exhibits at this year's festival. The Riceland Commercial Exhibits Tent was expanded in 1997, and all of the commercial exhibits will be staffed by professional outdoor sales representatives who can answer your questions and explain their products. There will be more than 30 exhibitors at the Sporting Collectibles Show who will be willing to trade, or sell, rare
and unique duck calls. The Wal-Mart Sporting Collectibles Show will be located in its own tent on Main Street in downtown Stuttgart. Young children can learn the basics of duck calling by attending the Riceland Children’s Duck Calling Classes held each year at the Wings Over the Prairie Festival. Classes begin at 10:00 a.m. Friday, November 29, 2019, in front of the Main Stage. The classes are open to children between the ages of 4 and 8 years old. Children must bring their own duck call. Admission to the Michelob Ultra Duck Gumbo is $20 at the door. The event will be held the Saturday after Thanksgiving in a tent on the Producers Rice Mill parking lot at 901 N. Park Avenue. The Michelob Ultra Duck Gumbo Cook-off is sponsored by Ludwig Distributing Company of Stuttgart, Arkansas. For a schedule of events and more information about the 86th Annual World’s Championship Duck Calling Contest and Wings Over the Prairie Festival, visit StuttgartArkansas.org.
