A new city council member and road repair within the city were the main discussions at the Hazen City Council meeting held on Thursday, August 15, in the council room of Hazen City Hall. Present at the meeting were Mayor David Duch, Recorder/Treasurer David Hardke, and Councilmembers Rick Wiggins, Tim Juola, Steve Chlapecka, Barbara Rogers, and Larry Anthony. Several citizens were present to find out who would be chosen to be the Ward 3 representative recently vacated due to the death of Clevella Mosby. Gireta Smith, Troy Young, and Dallas Taylor had each volunteered for the position. Smith ran against Mosby in the last election. The council members voted by secret ballots which were counted by Hardke. Dallas Taylor was selected to be Mosby’s replacement, and he will remain in the position for the two years remaining in Mosby’s term. After being sworn in by Prairie County Clerk Gaylon Hale, Taylor took his place on the council. The city has received a $250,000 grant to repair several streets in Hazen, but Mayor Duch requested that the council allocate another $151,124 out of city funds so that some other streets could also be repaired while the paving company was in town doing the other street work. The council unanimously agreed to the plan. The extra streets include the one that runs behind Cedar Branch apartments and the road that runs east from Hwy.
Prairie County Clerk Gaylon Hale swears in Hazen’s new council member, Dallas Taylor. 63 and the El Amigo restaurant. The money will be taken from various city funds. Librarian April Highfill told the council that the Hazen Library building has been flooding between the foundation and the under footing during heavy rains. Highfill has been cleaning the carpet and wiping down walls to keep mold from growing. The library owns the building. Highfill said that to alleviate the problem, a French drain would need to be installed. The estimated cost for the drain work would be approximately $28,000. She also said that the building also needs a new air conditioner. Highfill said that she had contacted the county judge about the problem. Duch said that he would like to see a new building built for the library. Highfill agreed. The council postponed the discussion of a new library
until the next council meeting. Police Chief Bradley Taylor reported that the recently opened Love’s station is not causing much additional traffic. “That might change when they open the tire section, though,” Taylor said. Duch told the council that the Shell Superstop will be torn down and the tanks removed. “Billy Hill will be doing the
work,” he said. He also said that the Stallings property next to the Love’s station is for sale if the sale will benefit the city. “But it can’t be sold and held,” Duch said. In the mayor’s report, Duch said that the sales tax money from the Love’s station will begin coming in next month. He said that the business is grossing about $125,000 a day at this
point, and that the three cent tax on that amount could bring in $1.6 million a year. The mayor’s office is looking at various city improvement projects including a water tower at I-40 (which will be needed if more businesses go into the area), infrastructure upgrades, a new library, the replacement of sewer lines, city water improvements, and an ambulance service. The city is asking citizens for suggestions, and will discuss them at the next meeting. The council then went into a 10 minute executive meeting to discuss personnel, and took no action afterward. When the meeting restarted, the council members discussed the drainage problem at Crowley and Water Streets, the lumber left on sidewalks in town, and messy yards. Duch said that tickets for yard trash have not been handed out yet, but the police department had been trying to help people straighten up. Duch also said that a pipe on Hwy. 249 would be repaired by the Arkansas Highway Department.
Fuller announces for Circuit Judge Searcy, AR Carla Fuller, Searcy attorney since 1992, announces her candidacy for Circuit Judge for the 17th Judicial Circuit, Division 1, which is the position currently held by The Honorable Thomas Hughes. The general election for the 17th Circuit will be in White and Prairie counties on March 3, 2020. Fuller's devotion to people who are unable to care for themselves has existed throughout her career. She has represented the most vulnerable Arkansans in emotionally difficult cases. “I've always done the jobs no one else wanted to do. I've represented abused children, delinquent children, victims of domestic violence and people with mental health issues. I've helped the wrongly accused, and I've helped the rightly accused get a fair trial. I've helped grandparents rescue their grandchildren and helped people who want to be better get into rehab or therapy." In addition to her private practice, Fuller has served the public sector as Public Defender for 16 years, and Attorney ad Litem for 25 years. An ad Litem is an attorney appointed by the Court to represent the best interest of minor children when the parents are feuding in divorce or custody cases. Ms. Fuller has gathered information and evidence regarding the best interest of her clientchildren from the parents, the children and through her own investigation. “I am very careful to remain
impartial toward the parents when I am visiting with the children. I do not persuade the child nor let him feel any pressure to choose between his parents. It is a practiced skill to remain neutral until all of the documents, witnesses and evidence are in, and it is a skill I have honed for 25 years." Fuller believes this skill transfers well to the bench. Ms. Fuller enjoys giving her time to the education of others and is frequently asked to speak to attorneys, ad Litems, CourtAppointed Special Advocate volunteers, legal support staff and students on topics related to substantive law and a career in law. “The characteristics most desirable of a judge are wisdom, experience, impartiality and a servant's heart. If a person concentrates on those, there is no room remaining for arrogance." With 27 years of experience representing clients in Arkansas, Fuller has spent a good portion of her life in the courtroom. “I have worked with some arrogant Judges who have trouble looking down from the bench and remembering why they are there. For me, the black robe signifies in a neutral way that the person wearing it is a servant to the people." The non-partisan general election for Circuit Judge on March 3 will coincide with the primary election for presidential candidates. The judicial contests will be on all the ballots.
Area buildings on Historic Register... Two local structures were named to the National Register of Historic Properties at a recent meeting of the State Review Board. Dairyman’s Bank in Carlisle located on the corner of Front and Williams was built in 1902 and was the first brick building in Carlisle. Today it is currently occupied as the office of Keith Glover and owned by Bobby Glover. The Dairyman’s Bank was later sold to the Bank of Carlisle which is now Bancorp South. The original Dairyman’s safe is on display in the lobby of Bancorp South. The second structure is the J. M. Bransford house in Lonoke owned by Peggy Bolls Baily who is originally from Carlisle and is the director of the Carlisle Museum. The architect of this home was John Almand Parks who also designed the Carlisle First United Methodist Church and the Lonoke Presbyterian Church.

Rita Dobson addresses the County Aldermen. The Prairie County Quorum Court had a light agenda at their August 13 meeting, with just the mayor’s report, the sheriff’s report, and a presentation by County Election Commissioner Rita Dodson. Present at the meeting were County Judge Mike Skarda, County Clerk Gaylon Hale, County Sheriff Rick Hickman, County Treasurer Tamara Dabney, and Assessor Jeanne Lott, Attorney Tim Isaacs, and Aldermen Ronnie Eans, Lawrence Holloway, Gary King, Doyle Sullins, Levi Childress, Dennis Tipton, and Bobby Willeford. Skarda said that there had been no news of the fire department grants, but that a 150 by 80 foot parking lot will be built by the river by the highway department. He also said that courthouse renovation bids had been opened and that Bob Shelley, who is familiar with the courthouses, will be the architect for the projects. Shelley’s salary will be 6 percent of the job’s cost, and he
will hire the contractor who will hire the subcontractors for the work. The plaster walls may be removed at the Des Arc courthouse to reveal the brick work under it. There are no structural problems at the Des Arc courthouse, but the DeValls Bluff courthouse has some structural damage. Gravel will be put on Roger Chapel Road at the end of August or the first of September, according to Skarda. The cost for the job will be $220,000. The aldermen approved the application for a grant for the clerk’s office of $14,448.04 that will allow the office to purchase three computers, two scanners, and upgrade other necessary technology in the office. Hale will write the grant. Some outdated items were removed from the county’s fixed asset list, including inventory from the sheriff’s office, the jail, the collector’s office, the clerk’s office, the assessor’s office, and the judge’s office.
Sheriff Hickman reported that $38,000 will be spent on a 911 console, with the money taken out of the 911 budget. “We are one of the few counties that don’t have to take the money out of County General,” Hickman said. Skarda said that a land dispute over access to private property will have to be decided by three people chosen by Skarda. The dispute is over access to property through private land adjacent to the bayou. “There is an easement, but one of the landowners wants to use another way into his property,” Skarda said. The county court will have to rule on the dispute. If the access is allowed, the road will become a public road for the use of everyone. “Hopefully, they will work something out,” Skarda said. The meeting ended with a presentation by County Election Commissioner Rita Dobson. There had been some questions about the low turnout at the last special election due to
the reduced number of polling places. She gave the aldermen a list of the number of total votes at elections from 2013 to 2019 with the number of polling places and poll workers. The number of voters ranged from 751 in the Hazen school millage vote in September, 2013, to 184 in the vote for the Des Arc city sales tax vote in September, 2018. The cost to the county for the poll workers has gone down from $9408 in 2016 to $2978.50 for the special election in July of 2019 due to fewer polling locations. The number of polling locations in the general election was 84 with 18 polling locations. There were only five polling locations in the last special election held in July, 2019, with a total of 23 poll workers. The reduction of the number of polling places has saved the county a large amount of money, according to Dobson, even though the amount of money paid to the workers has gone up.
Carlisle School Board has new board room by Debbye Harrison The Carlisle School Board met for the first time in their new facility on August 12. All members were present along with Superintendent Brad Horn and Principals Stuart and Green. The new board room was created at the old high school facility in the library/computer building. The library has been converted into a room for
Alternative Learning and the computer room for the Board Room. Hazen and Carlisle will be sharing the ALE facility for both high school and elementary this year. Classes who leave their money in the school accounts for more than five years will have those funds deposited into the Benevolence Fund. All Class Presidents of classes who have been graduated for five or more years need to get in contact with Mr. Horn immediately so that your money can be retrieved. This rule will begin with the Class of 2015. Plans for the first day of school included having the Senior Football Players greeting the elementary students as they
arrived. Members of the Arkansas State Department of Education will be on hand to read to the elementary students, and high school students will be entertained by Angela James with some special lively music to set an upbeat tone for the year. Students will have two options for learning besides the regular classroom setting. The Alternative Learning Education and the HUB. HUB incorporates learning by computer instruction at home for four days and with assignments completed meeting a full day with a teacher on campus. That instructor will be furnished by Arch Ford Educational Coop. Students in either of
these programs will be enrolled as full time students at Carlisle Public Schools. Ronnie Thrift has been hired as the maintenance director. The custodial staff hired was director Faith Snider, Alicia Berryman, Yoanna Aspergen, Barbara Kimura, and Willie Tanksley. Trudie Drye has been hired as the first grade paraprofessional, Landon Sage as a long term substitute to teach history and DeAnn Schafer as Special Education Director. The Board voted to buy a new gasoline engine Bluebird bus for $69, 775. The next Board meeting has been changed to September 16 and will be in the new Board Room.

Back to school time in Prairie County __________ by Sheriff Rick Hickman Dear Residents, Back to school time is an important event for our entire community. Students are back in class. Teachers are implementing new lesson plans for the school year. Administrators are working with budgets, school bus routes, staffing and school safety concerns. Parents are coordinating work and school schedules, car pools and support for their student’s
activities and studies. Businesses are equipping families, teachers and administrators with the supplies they need for a successful school year. Back to school is a busy time for us all. During this busy time, please be extra cautious in traffic. Be mindful of our school traffic zones especially during the morning hours and early
afternoons. Keep an extra look out for potential hazards around our schools and in neighborhoods where children play. Slow down and increase your stopping distances. School buses are back on the road. Be aware of school bus routes in your neighborhood and throughout your daily travel. Leave plenty of time and space for buses.
With school traffic, anticipate delays in your travel and leave early so you’re not in a rush. And, when approaching a school zone or school bus on the road, be prepared to stop for bus and pedestrian traffic. I want to thank all of you who help make our education system an integral, positive force in our community. Our children are counting on us – let’s work together to make Back-to-School” a rewarding, fun, and safe time for all Prairie County residents. Thank you, Sheriff Rick Hickman
