Chambers Nursing & Rehab wins award...

Shown above are Board Member Judy Cordell, owner Bobby Glover, administrator Dan Yancey, and Board Member Helen Glover standing in front of the facility’s staff members.

Hazen Council decides against paying ambulance fee The Hazen City Council decided against trying to get a full-time ambulance service in the town at their regular meeting held on Thursday, October 17. All of the council members were present except for Steve Chlapecka. The council unanimously decided that the $10,000 price tag for ambulance service that would not be guaranteed to stay in the city would not be worth the cost. According to Mayor David Duch, even with the monthly fee, there was no guarantee that the ambulance would be in Hazen when it was needed, since it could be called out for other runs in the area, still resulting in a 30-40 minute response time if the city ambulance was on another call. “My suggestion is, don’t do anything.” Duch said. Duch suggested that the city look into an emergency helicopter service. Duch told the council that a light at the Interstate 40 exit had been hit by a truck and would need to be replaced. The cost to replace it will be $9443. He said that the plan is to move the light 20 feet to the east and place a concrete barrier around it. The light is located in the parking area next to the Memphis off ramp. The council voted to

replace the light. The property owned by Johnny Larkan, which is located next to the baseball field, has to be appraised before it can be donated to the city. If the city does become owner of the property, the council intends to tear down the storage bins and keep only the storage building for the city’s use. Someone has been found to tear down the bins for the metal in them, but the city will have to see if liability insurance is available before that is done. The Hazen Baseball Association has asked to use some of the land for parking. The bridge located at the northwest corner of the high school is to be replaced. The construction will cost a total of $60,000 for engineering fees, materials, and labor. The council voted to take the money from a city discretionary fund. One of the projects on the city’s list is to build a water tower at the interstate. The city will need to acquire some property 60 feet south of the Love’s station. “We have enough water out there now,” City Utilities Manager Phillip Foot said, “but if more businesses build out there, we will need to expand.” The city is receiving approximately $15,000 a month in sales tax revenue each month from the Love’s station.

Duch said that T-Ricks will soon be an Exxon/Mobil station. The city also intends to put drainage pipes in the ditch on the north side of Front Street so that the ditch can be filled in, making parking on that side of the street safer when citizens use it for events at the Community Center. The project will cost approximately $35,000 and will not be done until next summer.

Foot said that his department is in the process of trimming the trees in Hazen and putting the wood chips in needed areas. His department is getting ready for the Grand Prairie Fice Festival. He also said that the traffic sign has been moved to Front Street. Drivers have been driving slower on the street since the sign was placed. “It does help,” Foot said. He also said that a gas line

had been moved on Crowley Street, with the help of Phillip Booth and his crew. Booth donated pipe, time, and labor for the project. Duch gave out copies of the proposed 2020 city budget for the council members to look over. The budget will be voted on at a later meeting. There were no other departmental reports, and the meeting adjourned.

Alisha Lisko and St. Francis County Volunteer Brenda Ryland Alisha Lisko of Des Arc has won the Arkansas Single Parent Scholarship Fund (ASPSF) of Prairie County.

ents be job ready. The scholarships not only help with school costs, can be used for household expenses, daycare costs, commuting expenses, and more while the students are in school. Lisko is attending East Arkansas Community College in Forrest City.

Elsie McCain Club hears about disability problems in schools by Chris Weems The GFWC Elsie McCain Club met in regular session Thursday night , Oct. 17, at Murry's Restaurant. Chris Weems, president presided. The meeting began with current events. The president distributed the schedule of meetings for the year. Elizabeth Hutson, chairman of the Education Department, presented

the lesson. She talked about some of the variations teachers use with students who have a learning disability. Some of the problems are not much of a problem if the student and teacher know how to handle the problem. It takes patience on the part of the student and teacher to handle the problem. Many of the problems are not identified or diagnosed early and may have put the student behind before it

was known. The president announced that World Food Day was October 16, and that members are to bring their contribution of food to the next meeting. She also announced that she will have the forms for members to fill out at the next meeting for the State GFWC President to send to the International President for the things that have been done on

her list within each one's community. Dues were collected and members talked a little about the Christmas party. Entertainment prizes were won by Nell Pich, Meg Miller and Chris Weems. The next meeting will be Thursday night, November 7, at Murry's Restaurant, with Nell Pich, Hostess and Lesson Leader.

Students were challenged to shoot from half court. Barry Franklin made an amazing half court shot. His ball bounced once and bounced into the basket. It brought the student body to its feet with a huge standing ovation. This amazing feat was caught on film and put on Facebook. Principal Green also reported that no drugs were found which should have earned an ovation as well.

There was favorable response at both schools. Parents were given another opportunity to fill out Free and Reduced Lunch Forms. The school is now at 64%.

Hornets defeat Clarendon on the Lions’ home field 26 - 14

by Easton Glover The Hazen Hornets travelled to Clarendon last Friday to take on the Lions. After a shocking loss to Des Arc, the Hornets were looking to get back on track. Though the 26-14 final score was a lot closer than Hazen expected, a win is a win. The first quarter showed that both defenses came ready to play. The Lions were able to stop

by not allowing the Lions to get anything going. Early in the quarter Ay’jon Green ran down the middle and powered his way into the end zone. This would be the only touchdown of the quarter. Though both defenses were keeping doing their job, neither offense could get anything going. The first half came to a close with the game tied at 6-6. Both teams came out of the locker room ready to

The fourth quarter was just like the first and second. Early in the quarter Green run it in from 11 yards out. The touchdown and conversion gave Hazen the first two possession lead of the night. Neither offense could get anything going for the rest of the game. With Hazen wasting clock on offense it was only a matter of time until everyone could go home. The final horn went off with the

Hazen’s offense multiple times. The Hornet’s defense was able to stop the Lions on their first possession, but the second attempt was not as successful. Clarendon forced their way down the field and ended the drive with a 4 yard rushing touchdown to take the early lead. This touchdown led the first quarter to its end. Hazen’s defense showed out in the second quarter

play. Hazen’s Tarrell Penn started off the half with a 6 yard rushing touchdown. Clarendon replied with a 30 yard touchdown run and a successful 2-point conversion to take a 12-14 lead. Hazen was able to take away that lead with a 21 yard pass from Luke King to Austin Duck that found its way to the end zone. The quarter came to an end with Hazen leading 18-14.

Hornets getting the 26-14 victory. Hazen is at a rough point in their season. Three games in a row they have started off slow. Though they won two out of the three, they do not look like the same team who played at the beginning of the season. Hopefully things will get straightened out this week as Earle comes to Hazen to play for the Hornets’ homecoming.
