Calhoun addresses the Farm Bureau members.

Butch Calhoun, the Director of the Arkansas State Plant Board, was the guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Prairie County Farm Bureau held on Tuesday, September 11 at St. Peter’s on the Prairie Episcopal Church. The women of the church provided the meal of chicken and rice, vegetables, salad, and homemade bread for those attending.

Calhoun took on the director’s position of the 18 person board on August 13th of this year.

The board, which is made up of 7 Governor appointees, 9 industry representatives, and 2 employees from the University of Arkansas Extension Service, is a agency that regulates

areas related to farming, provides information to Arkansas citizens enforces laws within the state. It has registered over 11,000 chemicals in the state, according to Calhoun.

The agency has 30 inspectors who travel across Arkansas processing claims for farmers.

Normally Calhoun’s office processes 200-450 claims each year, but this year the agency has already taken in 1312 claims “mostly in the delta”, he said. We’re working with a system from the 1960’s,” Calhoun said.

“My job is to bring (the agency) into the 21st Century.” Upgrading the department will “take until spring,” he said.

Calhoun told those

attending the meeting about some of the problems Arkansas farmers have been facing. “One of the worst problems we’ve had is a chemical called dicamba,” he said.

Another problem is hemp, which was banned by the U. S. Drug Enforcement Agency. Some Arkansas farmers would like to be able to grow the crop, which is related to marijuana, to sell as the raw material for rope and other products.

Representative David Hillman, also present at the meeting, sponsored legislation to allow the growing of hemp in Arkansas. The hemp plants must have less than 0.3 percent tetrahydracannibinol (THC), the active ingredient in cannibis, to be legal. “It will be a very heavily regulated product,” Calhoun said. He also told the group about the increase in the acreage planted in peanuts and cotton this year.

After Calhoun spoke, the Farm Bureau members listened to reports and then elected the Board of Directors for 2018-2019. The officers for the year are: Luke Hooks, President; Mason Sickel, Vice-President; and Bryan Felty, Secretary. Delegates to the Farm Bureau state convention are Luke Hooks and Mason Sickel.

Luke Hooks presents the 2018 Prairie County Farm Family of the Year plaque to Leah Beth and Casey Skarda.

Bobby Lott gives his report while Secretary Bryan Felty and President Luke Hooks listen.

Des Arc school millage passes The Des Arc School District school millage has passed according to the unofficial vote totals provided by the Prairie County Election Commission. The Des Arc School District Special Election was held on September 11, 2018.

The ballot results were as follows: Early voting - 60 for and 8 against Absentee voting - 1 for and 1 against Des Arc Methodist Church poll - 199 for and 21 against Hickory Plains Methodist Church poll 23 for and 8 against.

The total number of

votes cast was 321 with 283 voting for and 38 voting against, making the vote 88% in favor of the millage increase.

The bond proceeds will be used to refund the District’s outstanding bonded indebtedness, and will provide appproximately $5,345,000 to be used for making electrical and safety upgrades to both the elementary and high schools; replacing the roof of the high school; renovating the high school gym; and constructing, refurbishing, remodeling, and equipping other school facilities.

County employee charged with Class B felony A former employee of Prairie County has been arrested, according to Prairie County Sheriff Rick Hickman.

Hickman said all Prairie County facilities are closely monitored, administered facilities, and Tasha Rankin, was arrested on a Class B felony charge.

She was charged with furnishing prohibited articles to jail. The charge included possession of an e-cigarette and Bluetooth headset, according to Hickman, which she provided to inmates.

At this time the investigation is ongoing, but Rankin was able to post bond on this charge.

The old elementary school property is the possible site for a new retail store in DeValls Bluff, if the city can work out the terms.

DVB Council discusses the possible sale of city property

by Lisa Mills At the monthly meeting on September 13th, the DeValls Bluff City Council heard a resolution to consider selling property for a retail business.

The company is interested in purchasing city-owned property behind the old school from the fenced playground to the basketball court. The company has looked around the city

and feels this is the best location option.

Now that the city council has agreed to consider selling the property, the company will do a feasibility study and consider what they would offer for it. The council decided to table the matter until Mayor Anderson is present. In the meantime, City Attorney Mike Stuart will look over the company’s proposed contract and get more infor-

mation.

Present at the meeting were Recorder/Treasurer Pam DelGiorno, who presided in the absence of Mayor Kenny Anderson, Aldermen Alice Metcalf, Shirley Goff, Raymond Anderson, Richard Henry, Wanda Atkins and Marie Flanagan, Police Chief Charles Atkins, Fire Chief Doyne Martin and City Attorney Mike Stuart.

SBA economic injury disaster loans available Small nonfarm businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private nonprofit organizations of any size may qualify for Economic Injury Disaster Loans of up to $2 million to help meet financial obligations and operating expenses which could have been met had the disaster not occurred.

“Eligibility for these loans is based on the financial impact of the disaster only and not on any actual property damage. These loans have an interest rate of 3.61 percent for businesses and 2.5 percent for private nonprofit organizations, a maximum term of 30 years, and are available to small businesses and most private nonprofits without the financial ability to offset the adverse impact without hardship,” Garfield said.

By law, SBA makes Economic Injury Disaster Loans available when the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture designates an agricultural disaster. The Secretary declared this

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Small nonfarm businesses in Prairie County are now eligible to apply for low-interest federal disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration, announced Director Tanya N. Garfield of SBA’s Disaster Field Operations Center-West.

These loans offset economic losses because of reduced revenues caused by hail and high winds that occurred July 20-21, 2018.

The deadline to apply for economic injury is May 6, 2019.

Primary counties affected were Arkansas and Monroe, but the neighboring counties of Desha, Jefferson, Lee, Lincoln, Lonoke, Phillips, Prairie, St. Francis and Woodruff are also eligible.

“SBA eligibility covers both the economic impacts on businesses dependent on farmers and ranchers that have suffered agricultural production losses caused by the disaster and businesses directly impacted by the disaster,” Garfield said.

State discusses efforts to DVB land sale C ntinued from p. 1 prevent suicide-rrelated deaths Aoresolution was passed reported that health impact of suicide, including the steps the ADH is taking to combat the high rate of suicides in the state. These steps include training community leaders and educators about how to help prevent suicides and running campaigns like “Let’s Talk About It,” which promotes the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

An average of over 1,000 Arkansans call the lifeline each month. The Arkansas Lifeline Call Center, which answers calls to the national line made in Arkansas, is housed by ADH. The call center was mandated by Act 811 of 2017 and opened in December 2017.

“Where there’s help, there’s hope,” said Dr.

Little Rock, Ark. – There were 621 people who died by suicide in Arkansas in 2017, making it the leading cause of violent death in Arkansas in that year.

The Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) and partners want Arkansans to know there is help and hope.

ADH and the Attorney General’s office came together on Monday, September 10, at the onset of Suicide Prevention Awareness Week to discuss the state’s efforts to reduce the number of suiciderelated deaths at an event at the State Capitol.

Dr. Nathaniel Smith, ADH Director and State Health Officer, spoke in detail about the public

Smith. “The Arkansas Department of Health is committed to providing help to Arkansans in the midst of crisis when they need it the most through training community leaders, education, and the Arkansas Lifeline Call Center.”

In 2016, 67 youth between the ages of 10-24 died by suicide. An important component for the suicide prevention program is improving continuity of care and followup for youth identified at risk. The suicide prevention program is implementing integrated networks of care for community populations to ensure that follow-up care and evidence-based treatments are effectively in place.

to proceed with the condemnation of the building at 54 Main Street. City Attorney Mike Stuart stated that the council needs to set a condemnation date and a letter needs to be sent to the property owner stating that date as well as the date of the next council meeting so that they respond to the letter.

Stuart also said that the city can put a lien on the property for the cost of the tear down and cleanup of the building.

Alderman Shirley Goff asked who was responsible for any injuries that might occur during this period.

Stuart replied, “the owners are and the letter to them will state that.”

State Capitol Week in Review From Senator Jonathan Dismang LITTLE ROCK – The state Department of Human Services announced that 4,353 Arkansans were no longer eligible for Medicaid benefits because over the past three months they failed to comply with work requirements.

Another 43,655 people met the work requirement and will retain their health coverage under Medicaid.

The news was the latest development in the longrunning political struggle over the extent to which Arkansas should expand Medicaid, as required by federal mandates.

The federal law was enacted in 2010. It took several years and a number of lawsuits for the 50 states to implement its provisions.

Arkansas took a unique approach by making private health providers an integral part of the expanded Medicaid program. Lawmakers have adjusted our version of the health care act in each legislative session since the federal mandate was

imposed. Currently, the program is known as Arkansas Works and it requires enrollees to either work, consistently look for work or attend classes that will teach job skills.

Two state agencies were present when the announcement was made – the Human Services Department because it administers Medicaid, and the Workforce Services Department because it provides the job hunting services required of enrollees.

For three months the 4,353 people who were removed from the Medicaid rolls failed to report their attendance at class, or their job schedules or any volunteer work that would have brought them in compliance.

Department officials announced that more than 5,000 people are in jeopardy of losing their benefits at the end of September because they have gone two months without complying with the work requirements.

Critics say that the requirements place too much of a burden on Medicaid recipients. For example, many recipients probably don’t have a computer, a smart phone or Internet access that is necessary to meet the requirements.

DHS officials defended their efforts to notify recipients of the requirements, and to help them respond.

They sent 136,000 letters and made more than 150,000 phone calls. They sent text messages and in some cases visited people’s houses.

They conducted training sessions and posted materials in doctors’ offices and emergency rooms.

Recipients who lack Internet access could get help by calling their insurance carrier, or visiting a county DHS office for help.

The people who lost coverage will be ineligible until the end of 2018, but they might qualify in other categories of Medicaid if their circum-

stances worsen, or if they are pregnant or have a disability.

Currently, the work requirement applies to enrollees from 30 to 49 years of age. They must work 80 hours a month, or take vo-tech classes.

Up to 39 hours a month can be spent looking for work or attending a job search training class at a local Arkansas Workforce Center. Up to 20 hours in a year can be spent taking health education classes. Each hour spent volunteering counts as an hour of work.

It’s important to contact DHS when your economic circumstances change. In fact, it’s a good idea to keep in contact with DHS when people move in or out of your house, if a family member is discharged from a nursing home, or if you decide to claim a child as a dependent.

someone called her about the use of city equipment for personal use. Metcalf stated that there are fees for using equipment and no one can just borrow it.

Police Chief Atkins reported 1 disorderly conduct, 1 assault on family member, 3 criminal arrests, 2 no contact orders served, 1 vulgarism, 2 no child restraint, 2 no liability insurance, 1 hit and run, 1 operating ATV on city street, 8 unsafe driving, 12 speeding and 1 vehicle acci-

dent. Fire Chief Martin reported 9 first responder calls, 5 public assists, 1 fire and 2 meetings.

Alderman Alice Metcalf reported that the fire department committee would like to see the volunteer firemen receive a raise from $10 per call/meeting to $15 per call/meeting.

Chief Martin stated how important the meetings are for training, especially for new recruits. Bookkeeper Leah Woodall said she would check the Fire Department budget.

counties are: Lee, Woodruff, Desha Jefferson, Lonoke, Phillips, Prairie, St. Francis, and Lincoln.

Farmers and ranchers in the disaster area have until May 6, 2019, to apply for the loans to help cover part of their actual losses. To be eligible, producers must have suffered a physical loss or at least a 30 percent loss of normal production in a single enterprise, be able to repay the loan and any other loans, be unable to obtain credit elsewhere and have adequate security.

The punt barely escaped Terrell Penn’s (22) and was recovered by Marked Tree, putting Hazen back on defense.

The Hornets did not ease up when just 4 short plays later, the Indians were forced to punt yet again. This time Rasheed Mills (1) caught the ball and dodged Marked

On September 14 after stampeding out of the new Hornet tunnel supplied by our generous sponsors, the Hazen Hornet football team moved closer to their goal of a state playoff game by gaining a 51-0 victory over the Marked Tree Indians.

Only four minutes into the first quarter of the game, the first flag of the night was thrown onto the field when Ay’jon Green (21) carried the ball into the endzone for what would have been Hazen’s first touchdown against the Marked Tree Indians had holding not been called on the play.

It only took a minute for the Hornets to gain back their lost yardage 2 plays after the call was made when Green got his second chance at the game’s first score.

The second quarter started with Hazen up 200. It took little time for the players to make things a bit more interesting when, only 5 minutes in with the Hornets on defense, Marked Tree attempted a pass which fell incomplete behind the line of scrimmage and was scooped up by D e m a r i a e Buchanan (33) who returned the ball to Marked Tree’s endzone.

This was followed by an extra point scored by Green and nudged Hazen even closer to victory with a lead of 28-0.

The score was nearly doubled for the Hornets throughout the next half. First down after first down, the Hornets muscled and dodged their way to the endzone and 51 points, all while keeping the Marked Tree Indians held at 0. line.

This game showed noticeable team improvement with the Hornets are only getting better with each game.

Hopefully, the Hornets will remain undefeated in the next game.

Glenda reported that she delivered the lap robes to Crestpark, Stuttgart. The total has been amended to 16 lap robes with an additional one donated by Sherrye.

New Business: The October 10 meeting will be a field trip to Little Rock to see the Pieces of My Soul quilt exhibit at the Old State House. We will also view the new First Ladies Gown exhibit which has just re-opened. Everyone will meet at the library at 10:00. We will carpool to Charlotte's first for lunch and then on to Little Rock.

Show and Share: Sherrye showed the lap robe she made for Crestpark.

Glenda had several quilt tops made from Mini blocks that she "discovered" in a forgotten stash.

She had a lot of fun putting them together.

Ann showed several pieced Xmas wreath blocks made from different sized blocks. She also presented a mini-demo on how to cut the sewed blocks into half-size triangles.

She also gave Glenda a wreath block for her Birthday.

LouAnna asked the group for advice about her Meadow Song quilt top puzzle. She wasn't quite sure how to sew them together.

She received helpful hints from the members on different ways to proceed.

Vivian showed several log cabin blocks that drew admiring comments from the members.

After the business session, members brought out their lunches. They visited and swapped quilting stories and told tall tales.

During the afternoon work session, sewing machines hummed and needles sang in and out of the fabric. Betty handquilted her appliqued Bride quilt; Glenda worked on a baby quilt; Sherrye tied a fleece throw for her grandson; LouAnna made progress on her Meadow Song quilt top; Eunice finished the binding on her Nantucket Nine Patch quilt.

The next meeting will be October 10 with a field trip to Little Rock. We will meet at the library at 10:00 to carpool to Little Rock.
