PC Quorum Court passes emergency bond ordinance month will go to the county’s operation and maintenance of the jail. The county can refinance the bonds in April, 2025, if a lower interest rate is available. The cost of the refinancing will come out
Sarah Giammo of Friday, Eldredge, and Clark (above), and Marshall Hughes of Crews and Associates addressed the Prairie County Quorum Court regarding the recently passed bond issue at their regular meeting held on Tuesday, September 9 in the Des Arc Courthouse Annex building. Aldermen Ronnie Eans, Lawrence Holloway, Gary King, Doyle Sullins, Bobby Willeford, Rick Stallings, Dennis Tipton and Judy Hinson, along with County Clerk Gaylon Hale, County Treasurer Tamara Dabney, and Attorney Tim Isaacs were in attendance. Hughes said that the bond sale will net $1.7 million for the renovation of the county’s courthouses in Des Arc and DeValls Bluff. The original jailhouse bond had a 4.36% interest rate, but the new bond will have a fixed interest rate of 2.636%. Payment on the loan will

River bridge along the river with an Arkansas Game and Fish Commission grant supplemented by in-kind services provided by City of Des Arc and the Prairie County road crew.
be $262,000 for the county as opposed to the $228,000 the county was paying on the previous loan. Farmers and Merchants Bank will be the trustee for the loan. “We’re very happy with the results and how it turned out,” Marshall said. Giammo handed out a copy of the bond ordinance which she read, and which the court passed after suspending the rules and reading the ordinance three times. The 2013 bond issue that has been replaced with the new bond issue originally set aside ⅜ cent of the money collected to finance the jai renovations and ⅛ went to county operations and maintenance. One-eighth of the new tax money can still be used for the jail, or it can go toward debt service. Farmers and Merchants Bank will collect the tax and pay the debt service on the bonds in behalf of the county. Any money not needed to pay the bond note each
Love’s to hold first car show for ACH Love's Travel Stop & Country Store at I-40 in Hazen will be holding its 1st annual car show this Saturday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. The car show is being held as part of the station’s fund raising efforts for the Arkansas Children’s Hospital that has been going on during the month of September. According to station manager Steve Pendelton, the deadline for raising money is September 30th. “We hope to raise a lot of money between now and this weekend,” Pendelton said. “We have raised almost $24,000, and we have a goal of
$30,000 we are trying to break.” The Love’s employees would like to encourage any and all to come by the store to drop off any sort of donations. They will accept change, bills, and checks.

AR soybean producers hit record bushel marks Little Rock, AR – The Grow for the Green Soybean Yield Challenge is pleased to announce that Matt Miles has topped the 120 bushel per acre mark in the Grow for the Green Soybean Yield Challenge with a yield of 120.533 bu/a. Miles planted Pioneer P48A60X on April 22. The field in Ashley County was treated with 1.5 tons of broiler litter. Seed was pretreated with Indigo and CruiserMaxx and the plot was treated with Marvis Top Fungicide once. Miles is already a member of the Arkansas 100 Bushel Club having reached the 100-bushel mark four times previously in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2017. In addition to Miles hitting the 120 bu/a mark, Brandon Cain from Des Arc harvested a plot of 100.200 bu/a. Cain planted NK45J3X on April 3 in White County and is the 19th producer in the state to reach 100 bu/a. Cain applied three tons of chicken litter and 150 lb of potash preplant. Seed was treated with Cruiser Max Vibrance and the field was treated with Priaxor at R5. According to Lanny
Ashlock, one of the Grow for the Green Soybean Yield Challenge committee members, “When the contest was established, we expected is to take some time to reach the 100-bushel mark and the 120 by 2020 portion was an addition to the program. Now we have 19 producers who have reached 100 and overall soybean yields have increased.” This contest is funded by the Arkansas Soybean Promotion Board using producer checkoff funds and is managed by the Arkansas Soybean Association. The University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture is a major component of the contest by providing information to producers and serving as judges. The contest fields consist of five to seven acres and must have been planted in soybeans at least once in the previous three years. These producers, along with the other division winners in the contest, will be recognized at the Annual Meeting of the Arkansas Soybean Association in January 2020.
Projects on the Grand Prairie ... Lots of improvements and additions have been going on in the Grand Prairie area lately. Some of the most recent are shown above. (Top picture) An Arkansas Game and Fish Commission project expanded the parking area for the two boat launching ramps to White River in the Tom Roe Memorial Riverfront Park at Des Arc, AR. The Prairie County Road Department and the City of Des Arc did the site preparation work, leveling the site and adding a four inch layer of gravel which was covered by a six inch layer of concrete. (Second picture) A new Dollar General Store is being built in DeValls Bluff. Workers were hard at work on the structure last Saturday morning. (Third picture) Some of the streets in Hazen are being paved thanks to a grant from the Arkansas Highway Department. Here the asphalt is being laid on Crowley Street just south of the football field. (Bottom picture) Improvements are being made to the Bobby Glover softball field in Carlisle.

Deborah Moore County Library System, gave the 2018 Report for
the Carlisle Library. Computer usage was up 5% and the total number of people using the library over the year was 20,743, an increase of 18%. Because the library is adjacent to the park, it is a convenient place for children to hang out in the summertime. The librarians realized that many of these children were not going home for lunch. They organized a sack lunch program and during the month of June alone, they served 400 lunches. People of the community provided the food and funds. Plans are being made to continue the program next summer.

The Hazen City Council discussed a five year plan at its regular meeting held on Thursday, September 19. Mayor David Duch spoke to the councilmembers about the increase in sales tax due to the new Love’s station at Interstate 40, and how those funds might be used for the benefit of the city. Present at the meeting were Councilmembers Steve Chlapecka, Barbara Rogers, Larry Anthony, Dallas Taylor, Tim Juola, Rick Wiggins; Recorder/Treasurer David Hardke; and Mayor’s Assistant Tracie Vail. Duch gave the council an estimated projection of funds that may come to the city with the addition of the sales taxes collected by recently opened the Love’s station. According to Duch’s calculations, the sales tax collected from an estimated $100,000 per day will yield the city $3,000 per day for a total of $1,095,000 per year. One thousand dollars per day of that amount would be used for emergency services for a total of $365,000 per year. The city general fund would receive $792,000 per year. Sales tax yields of $150,000 per day would net $1,650,000 per year with emergency services receiving $1,500 a day, The city would receive $1,095,000 per year. Duch gave the councilmembers a list of city improvements that have been suggested by citizens. He wants to use the emergency services money to keep an ambulance in Hazen at all times. The cost for the ambulance service would be $10,000 per month. The fund takes in about $25,000 a month at this time. A motion was made to get a contract from the ambulance company to discuss at the October meeting. The rest of the funds could be used for projects such as building a water tower at I-40 for about $750,000, paving streets on a three year plan,
adding additional tornado sirens, making upgrades to the Hazen Community Center that would improve acoustics in the building and renovate the bathrooms, building a new water/sewer plant, building a new library, and paying off the loans on the two water department pickups. Duch would also like to give raises to the city’s nineteen employees. Other suggestions have also been made and are still being sought. Duch said that the approximate amount of funds that the city would receive in taxes will be known in October. Fire Chief Ashley Loudermilk reported that the rescue truck is in the shop and that trucks one and three are in need of repairs. He also said that the fire department has applied for a $3000 Arkansas Forestry grant. In the past month there has been one grass fire, one house fire, 15 first responder calls, and four wrecks. Chief Bradley Taylor told the council that this is the second month of community service in the city. During that time, those in the program have cleaned the courthouse and some local yards. A STEP grant has been applied for. If the city receives it, the city will receive equipment such as additional speed signs. Duch reported that Jacksonville emergency services is down, and the ambulances are being parked in Hazen. He also said that Johnny Larkin has offered to give the city the property next to the veterinary clinic on Chester Street. This will be discussed in October.

Hornets check off Marked Tree
Carlisle Bison Homecoming Courts...
by Easton Glover Last Friday the Hazen Hornets traveled to Marked Tree to take on the Indians. From the opening kick it was very clear that Hazen would dominate. The Hornets advanced to 3-0 on the season after this huge victory. The first quarter started with a Marked Tree kick off that was returned all the way for a touchdown by LJ McGee. After a quick stop by Hazen’s defence and a 10 yard run to the end zone by Tarrell Penn with a failed conversion, the Hornets were up to a quick 12-0 lead. Not long after, quarterback Luke King scrambled out of the pocket and took off for a 30 yard touchdown which was followed up with a 2 point conversion. On the Hornet’s next defensive possession LJ McGee intercepted a pass for a pick 6 to record his second touchdown of the game. After another 2
point conversion and another defensive stand by the Hornets, Luke King passed to Blayne Toll for a 14 yard reception that was Hazen’s first passing touchdown of the game. A successful conversion ended the first quarter 36-0 with Hazen looking to put up enough points to win a basketball game. The second quarter was a lot less action packed due to Hazen showing mercy. Hazen’s Donavan Harris ran to the house for a 36 yard touchdown. Soon after, Ay’jon Green joined in on the fun with a 5 yard run for his first touchdown of the game that was followed by an extra point. Marked Tree was not okay with being down 49-0, so they decided to put some points on the board with a 25 yard pass. The Indian’s celebration was short lived due to Tarrell Penn’s 30 yard touchdown run and a PAT that ended the half
56-6. A scoreless third quarter proved that Hazen wanted to run the clock out and get the long bus ride home over with. The fourth quarter kicked off with a short passing touchdown by Marked Tree. After a few stops by both teams, Lance Adkins got the ball and ran it home from 20 yards out. A successful extra point was the last point for Hazen. However, the Indians were not done. A 10 yard pass by the Indians and a 2 point conversion ended the game with Hazen manhandling Marked Tree 63-20. The Hornet’s victory came to the surprise of no one as Hazen was the clear favorite. So far Hazen has not had much competition and are set on cruise control. Come out to Hazen this Friday to see the Hornets take on the Carlisle Bison in the 2A game of the week.
