For veteran rice farmer Chris Isbell of Isbell Farms near Humnoke, it was a refreshing change of pace to have the annual field day return as an in-person event for the first time in three years. Isbell said he gets more in-depth information by attending the event in person rather than viewing the presentations by Arkansas

Justice Lawrence Holloway was once again voted to be in charge of the Quorum Court meeting held on August 9 in the absence of Judge Mike Skarda. The main order of business was to pass an ordinance that allows the county to provide stipends for fulltime county law enforcement officers. The ordinance amends the county budget to allow for the transfer of $55,336.50 in state funds according to Act 224 of the 2022 Fiscal Session of the Arkansas Legislature for Law Enforcement Stipend Grants for the 2023 fiscal year. The court unanimously agreed to give a one-time stipend payment of $5000, less all appropriate employee deductions, to each full-time law enforcement officer. The funds, which have already been received by the county according to County Treasurer Tamara Dabney, will be moved from the County General account into three separate Sheriff’s Department accounts for premium compensation (the stipends), Social Security matching, and retirement payments. The Sheriff’s Department budget will now total $1,069,785.34 for 2022, and the 2022 County General beenRoadlastthatcollectedthewastheRescuereceivedcourt$3,688,449.98.appropriationFundDabneyreportedtothethatthecountyAmericanPlanfundinginmiddleofJuly.Italsoreportedthatsalestaxrevenueismorethancollectedthistimeyear.ThecountyDepartmenthasbusygradingroads,

The BAR-KAYS started as a ragtag group of teenagers growing up in the shadow of Memphis’ Stax Records. In 1967, the teens signed on as Stax’s newest band, and their potent, dynamic sound carried them to the top of the charts with their party smash “Soul Finger.”

LITTLE ROCK – The legislature concluded a quick, three-day special session after approving income tax cuts that will save 1.6 million Arkansas taxpayers about $500 million. The tax savings will come mainly from moving up the effective date of previously adopted tax reductions. Last December the legislature lowered the top income tax rate over four years, so that it would be 4.9 percent in 2025.Thanks to legislation enacted during the special session, that reduction becomes effective this year. In similar fashion, the legislature moved up the effective date of previously approved tax reductions that lowered the top rate for corporations over three years, to 5.3 percent in 2025. The top rate will take effect in 2023. For tax year 2022 the top rate will remain at 5.9 percent.Moving up the effective date will save businesses in Arkansas about $18.6 million this fiscal year. The savings increase the following year to $27.8 million. Another provision enacted during the special session will save Arkansas businesses $29.4 million this year. The legislature approved a change in how they can claim deductions for depreciation and expensing of property, making the Arkansas tax code similar to depreciation schedules in section 179 of federal tax codes. This will allow Arkansas businesses to claim deductions for the purchase of new or used equipment, up to about $1 million, in a single year. Previously, state tax law limited the amount that could be deducted and required deductions to be spread out over the life of the equipment.Individuals with incomes up to $87,000 will get a $150 nonrefundable tax credit. Married taxpayers who file separately may each claim a $150 credit. Married taxpayers filing jointly with net income up to $174,000 will receive a $300 nonrefundable income tax credit.Those income tax credits will save Arkansas families more than $156 million in Fiscal Year 2023.Even after passage of the tax cuts, state government is on course to have a budget surplus of about $400 million at the end of the fiscal year, according to the bill’s sponsors. Also during the special session, the legislature authorized the state Education Department to use $50 million from reserve funds for grants to tyschoolthatdistrictsschoolneedsafe-upgrades. If necessary, the legislature will consider additional funding of school safety measures during the 2023 regular session, which begins in January.TheArkansas School Safety Commission is finalizing a list of recommendations to protect students and staff in the event of a school shooter.The commission recommends that an armed school resources officer be present in all buildings at all times when there are students. Another recommendation is that all school doors be locked, with electronic controls. Teachers should be able to lock classroom doors from the inside, the commission recommended.Security cameras, accessible to school staff and law enforcement, as well as two-way radios to connect school personnel with local police officers, are recommended. Some lawmakers wanted to consider pay raises for teachers. However, the governor did not put that issue on the call for the special session so salary increases for teachers will be an issue during the 2023 regular session.

Multi-Platinum Country star Trace Adkins will open EACC’s performance season on Saturday, October 1st at 7:30 p.m. After passing legislation to accelerate tax cuts and provide funding for school safety, the 93rd General Assembly adjourned from a special session on Thursday. In December of 2021, the General Assembly passed legislation outlining the largest tax cut in state history. That legislation lowered the state income tax from what was then 5.9% to 4.9% incrementally over a period of 4 years. The first reduction took effect on January 1, 2022 lowering the income tax to 5.5%. After a record surplus and a period of rising inflation, the Governor called the legislature back for a special session to accelerate the implementation of the tax cut. As a result, the General Assembly passed Act 1 and Act 2. Those acts are identical pieces of legislation reducing the income tax to 4.9% and making that rate retroactive to January 1, 2022. The legislation also lowers corporate income taxes from 5.9% to 5.3% on January 1, 2023. In addition, it aligns Arkansas law with the federal depreciation schedule which will provide relief for business owners by accelerating the depreciation of their assets and allow for an easier calculation of their tax bill. Act 1 and Act 2 also grant a nonrefundable income tax credit of $150 to taxpayers with income up to $87,000 and $300 to couples filing jointly with income up to $174,000. The Department of Finance and Administration says the agency will issue revised payroll withholding tables to more than 80,000 employers across Arkansas within the next month. The agency anticipates they will be effective October 1. This will give employers adequate time to program the changes and also ensure Arkansans see more money in their paychecks as soon as possible.Inthis special session, the General Assembly also passed Act 3. This act sets aside $50 million from the revenue surplus for the purpose of funding a school safety grant program. The grants will help districts fund the recommendations of the School Safety Commission. You can watch the recorded committees and House floor www.arkansashouse.org.atproceedings

It all started in 1965 with the breakup of one of the first folk rock ensembles called, “The Men”. What was originally an 11 member singing group, ultimately became the 6 man band named, “The Association!” In 1967, The Association made history being the first band anywhere to open a rock festival - the now historic, Monterey Pop Festival.Oneof the most successful bands to come out of the 60’s, they have sold over 80 million records, tapes, CDs, and DVDs. They’ve earned a number of achievement awards, as well as 6 gold records and 2 platinum records. Their album, THE ASSOCIATION GREATEST HITS, continues to be one of the longest best-selling albums in the history of the Warner Brothers company. Their hits include classics like “Never My Love”, “Windy” “Along Came Mary,” and “Cherish”.
The Des Arc Eagles have a new coach and new conference but the goals are still the same.Brandon Barbaree was hired in May to be the new head football coach, replacing B.J. Paschal, who was promoted to Des Arc High School principal. The last two seasons under Paschal, the Eagles were 23-4 with an appearance in the 2020 Class 2A state championship game. This year, with the restructuring of Class 2A football, the Eagles are in a different conference. Instead of playing Carlisle and Hazen in the old 2A-6 conference, Des Arc is a member of the 2A-2 conference with East Poinsett County, McCrory, Clarendon, Marked Tree, Earle, Cross County and Marianna.Barbaree has been coaching a long time in Arkansas, serving as a head coach at Drew Central, England, Carlisle and Gosnell. He was also an assistant at Trumann, Carlisle and Benton. “The kids have been real responsive,” he said. “We’re always going to fight numbers because 2A football is like that now. But the ones who are there everyday are committed to being football players. They are good kids and play really hard.”Barbaree said his team must maintain the focus it’s had in the“Playingpast. hard and doing things right is a must,” he said. “They’ve done that for 20 years. All 20 years I’ve been in coaching, Des Arc has been a pretty good program. Keep running that football and playing hard-nosed defense is theBarbareekey.” uses a runoriented offense, which is what Des Arc did underSeniorPaschal.Jack Kearby returns at running back. He rushed for more than 1,100 yards and 8 touchdowns a year ago. He was also the Eagles’ leading tackler in 2021. “He brings great energy every day,” Barbaree said. “He’s just a great kid.” Senior Trevion Reed rushed for over 900 yards and 18 touchdowns a year ago. “He’s an explosive player,” Barbaree said. Barbaree is looking at two different quarterbacks, either junior Cache Flanagan or sophomore Walker Harris.“Both of them bring different skill sets,” Barbaree said. “One of them is a little better leading the huddle. The other one is a little more skilled. We’re working through that.” Barbaree said he’s looking for a big year out of sophomore Daviyon Bell. “He’s going to be a heck of a football player,” Barbaree said. Barbaree said the conference change will be different.“We’reused to playing the Carlisles and the Hazens … we’re still playing them in nonconference,” he said. “Maybe we’ll have a little more excitement and get to see some different teams. We’re excited about what we’re doing and who we are playing.” Des Arc opens the season Sept. 2 at Hazen. They host Carlisle on Sept. 16.
