Attending the meeting were Mayor Brian Dodson and council members Alice Metcalf, Richard Henry, Marie Flanagan, Raymond Watson and Carol Griffin. Leah Willeford performed the Recorder/ Treasurer duties in the absence of Darlene Conner. Stuart said he and Hilsdon have been working on Hilsdon’s contract with the city, which should be ready to be signed at the March meeting. He also said that the contract will state that if the city
is not awarded the grant to pay Hilsdon, the city will not have to pay him. Stuart said that Hilsdon is moving forward with the grant application. Mayor Dodson reported that a lot of work has been done and work is continuing on the Robinson building. He reported that he is expecting applications for Police Chief that were sent out to come in next week, and he will begin interviews. Sheriff Rick Hickman’s report included 113 patrols and 14 calls. The calls included 1 breaking/entering, 1 trouble at City Hall, 1 theft, 1 possible intruder, 2 subject removals, 2 civil standbys, 2 suspicious vehicles, 1 noise complaint, 2 general complaints, 1 accident and 1 structure fire.
AR Heritage names duck gumbo cookoff food winner Stuttgart’s World Championship Duck Gumbo Cookoff (Arkansas County) was selected as the FoodThemed event winner in the 2022 class of Arkansas Heritage’s Arkansas Food Hall of Fame. On Feb. 7, 2022, the public was invited to attend a hybrid ceremony at Central Arkansas Library System’s Ron Robinson Theater in downtown Little Rock where the winners from across the state were announced and inducted into the hall of fame. Arkansas Heritage also honored chicken as the 2022 Arkansas Food Hall of Fame Food of the Year. Throughout October 2021, Arkansans rallied around their favorite selections as more than
2,000 submissions were received from all 75 Arkansas counties for the Arkansas Food Hall of Fame. Winners were selected by a committee composed of Arkansans who are historians, chefs, foodies and food authors. In addition to Hurst, committee members include Paul S. Austin, Jimmy Bryant, Chip Culpepper, Quantia “Key” Fletcher, Cindy Grisham, Montine McNulty, Rex Nelson, Tim Nutt, Kat Robinson, Stephanie Wade, David Ware and Stanley Young.

The Hazen School Board was given information about a possible four-day week for school students for the 20222023 school year at its regular meeting held on February 7. All board members were present, along with Superintendent Donnie Boothe and the Superintendent’s Secretary Cindy Ciganek. High School Counselor Janan Sickel, representing the Personnel Policies Committee, handed out a packet of information to each board member explaining the pros and cons of the change. Surveys were sent out to stakeholders with 268 parent and community surveys returned, 47 staff surveys returned, and 106 surveys were returned from students in grades 7-12. Staff members overwhelmingly approved of the change, with 80.9% of them in favor. One half of the students had no concerns about the change, but around one-quarter of the respondents expressed a concern over the length of the school day and childcare. Parents' responses showed over 69% in
favor of the change, with 47% expressing no concerns and around 25% expressing concern over the length of the school day and childcare. Sixty nine percent of students were in favor of the change with one-quarter concerned about how extracurricular activities would be affected and over one half concerned over the length of the school day. Some advantages listed include better teacher and student morale (allowing for time for doctor’s and other appointments without missing school), reduced discipline referral frequency, improvement of attendance, academic improvement, and reduction in financial costs (including lower fuel costs, utility costs, and a 20% reduction in the funding of school breakfast and lunch programs.) School districts similar in size and demographics to the Hazen district that have gone to a fourday week in Arkansas include England, East End, Atkins, and Norfolk. The increase in the length of the school days allows for the same number of instructional hours.
A town meeting discussing a possible change in the number of school days will take place before the next school board meeting, which will be held on March 14. The date and time will be announced in the Herald and on the school Facebook and website pages prior to the meeting. In other business, they voted to purchase new air units for the elementary counseling room and the nurse’s office, and in rooms 124 and 116 in the high school for a cost of $22,170.06 which will be taken out of operating funds. The board also entered into an agreement with Pinnacle Pointe Behavioral Healthcare for the remainder of the school year to be paid with ARP ESSER federal funds. The board approved the legal transfer of a Stuttgart student to the Hazen School District. Principals Tiffany Glover and Mark Price were hired for the 20222023 school year, and the resignation of paraprofessional Joyce Kee was accepted. Cheryl Wyatt was hired as a paraprofessional for the remainder of the year.

Grand Prairie Quilters meet
Glenda's items for the Christmas Shoe Boxes. By Marsha Heien The Grand Prairie Quilt Society met February 9, 2022 at the First Christian Church fellowship hall in Stuttgart with 7 members present. Glenda opened the meeting with the thought for the day, "Of Course, I'm working....it's a power tool with thread." The January minutes and treasurer's report were given. Glenda asked for ideas for a civic project for the club. Several suggestions were made by the members and they will make inquiries and report back next month. Registration for the Country Quilt Camp at Cross Heirs Retreat Center on June 2-5, 2022 in Humphrey is open. Glenda told the group of a hint she heard about making cutting easier. If you use a flat iron as a weight on your ruler, it keeps the ruler from slipping white you cut. She said it works. Show and Share: Glenda had several items to show the group: crocheted baby hats for Delta; mini tote bags and ditty bags, shorts and book bags for the Christmas Shoe Boxes.
Marsha showed her snowbound project---a Colonial Williamsburg jigsaw puzzle she put together during the ice and snow. Maeola had a baby quilt and a Wildlife quilt top. Sherrye had a cute lit-
their grandmothers washed clothes without the modern conveniences we enjoy today. The treasure table was again full of patterns, books, fabric and lots of other goodies to choose from. It always proves to be a popular gather-
Sherrye and her cute quilted children's book. tle quilted children's book featuring colorful animals with peek-a-boo pockets. The members also brought up memories of days gone by, when
ing place for one and all. The next meeting will be a Sit n' Sew on March 9 at the church. Bring your lunch and projects and join us.

ADA accepting applications for grants The Arkansas Department of Agriculture is now accepting applications through the Specialty Crop Block Grant Program (SCBGP). These grants are funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to enhance the competitiveness of the Arkansas specialty crop industry. Specialty crops are
defined by USDA as fruits, vegetables, horticulture, floriculture, and tree nuts. Funding for the 2021 SCBGP is made available in response to priority needs relating to COVID19 and provides flexibilities not typically offered in SCBGP funding due to the exigent circumstances of the pandemic. The Arkansas Department of
Agriculture uses a twophase application process for administering the grant funds. Project concept proposals outlining the project’s goals, tasks, and budget requirements must be submitted by March 1. Entities may apply for both grant opportunities. After all concept proposals are reviewed by an advisory committee, selected projects will be invited to submit detailed project proposals. Applicants are encouraged to develop projects pertaining to the following issues affecting the specialty crop industry: Increasing sales and marketability and driving demand for specialty crops; Increasing consumption of specialty crops in Arkansas’s schools by expanding
child knowledge and/or improving access to the nutritional benefits of specialty crops; Increasing access to local healthy foods; Research projects focused on helping specialty crop growers reduce financial costs, improve pest and disease management, and/or value-added products; and Enhancing specialty crop food safety.
