DeValls Bluff Hope Chest has reopened Have you been by Prairie County Hope Chest lately? It’s on the northwest corner of DVB High campus across from the gym. There had been a lot of stuff put there, but it was out in the weather and it got wet and mildew and mold had ruined it.

All of that has been cleaned up, thanks to the DeValls Bluff Mayor and some faithful members of the Hope Chest Board and some volunteers.

Now, the Board Members and the Chairman, Sadie Foster, ask that no boxes of things be left there when

no one can put it inside.

Call a Board Member when you have a donation to make. Someone will meet you there or let you bring it by her house or she will come by your house to pick it up. A lot of good things were lost because it got wet and ruined. We appreciate the thought, but it was much harder to clean up after it got wet and ruined. We appreciate the thought, but it was much harder to clean up after it got wet and stuck to the ground or pavement and had leaves and grass mixed in with it.

“The Hope Chest is open

the first and third Thursdays each month from 10:00 a.m. until noon. We have lots of clothes, shoes, some toys and books, and household items that someone could get some good use of.

Come by the DHS office and get a referral. It is not hard to qualify,” she said.

Also, the Chairman said donors or users of the Hope Chest can call Helen Holloway, DeValls Bluff, Chris Weems, Hazen, or Sadie Foster, Biscoe, for help or information. She said, “All three of these women are listed in the phone book.”

DVB City Council discusses MFA lease/hotel The DeValls Bluff City Council met in a regular monthly meeting on Thursday, September 14, at 6:00 p.m. in the DeValls City Hall building. Present at the meeting were Council Members Richard Henry, Marie Flanagan, Alice Metcalf, Bill Arnold, Raymond Watson, and Wanda Atkins. Mayor Kenny Anderson and Recorder/Treasurer Shante Matthews were also there.

After approving the previous meeting’s minutes and approving the payment of bills, the council brought up the old business of the 74 year leasing of a .43 acre portion city land by MFA that is next to land that MFA owns.

Attorney Mike Stewart told the council that there was a 2001 title for the land, and that MFA had verbally offered $5000 for the small piece of land.

Anderson told the council that it is possible that the existing gravel street that is on the property might belong to James Camp. Anderson said that the “city may have encroached” on someone else’s property. It was also mentioned that Jerry Owens might also own some of the property.

Council member Bill Arnold said that he can product a title of the property that the Arnold Foundation owns in the same area. Stewart said that at least an appraisal of the land should be done before any decision is

made, so the discussion was tabled.

The council also talked about the sale of the Castleberry Hotel. At the last meeting, it was decided that the city owned property would be sold through an open bid process. No ad for the sale of the hotel had been run in any newspapers as of the meeting. The mayor said that an ad would be run this week.

There was no new business.

The Fire Department reported that they had eight first responder calls, serving 35 people. The Police Department reported serving 18 warrants and six supeonas for the month.

At the end of the meeting, the mayor presented an award from the city to Richard and Robin Henry for volunteering their time to keep the city looking beautiful. Anderson also told the council that city Police Chief Charles Atkins had been awarded with a plaque for being chosen the Arkansas Policeman of the Year.

The meeting then adjourned, but as the council members were leaving, former County Sheriff Bob Johnson stood up to address those people still present about the use of the city’s Hummer by Mayor Anderson. Police Chief Atkins tried to explain that as chief he can deputize people in emergency situations, but there was some dispute as to whether there had been an emergency when

A heated conversation

ensued, and Chief Atkins escorted the conversants

out of the building.

Dicamba report now available from Arkansas Ag Dept.

LITTLE ROCK, AR The report from the Arkansas Dicamba Task Force, prepared by the Winthrop Rockefeller Institute, is now available:http://www.aad.arka nsas.gov/arkansas-dicamba-information-updates.

Governor Hutchinson directed Secretary of Agriculture Wes Ward and Plant Board Director Terry Walker to convene a task force to review dicamba technology, investigate current problems with its use and application, and make long term recommendations for the future. Task force members met August 17 and August 24 at the Rockefeller Institute on Petit Jean.

The Rockefeller Institute used a process to bring the group to consensus that allowed for thorough examination of dicamba research from university and industry scientists, narratives from

task force members, and review of dicamba use challenges in Arkansas.

Rockefeller Institute representatives facilitated dialogue among group members to allow for different perspectives to be shared in small group and large group settings.

Recommendations provided in the report will be used by the Arkansas State Plant Board to develop regulations for dicamba use in the 2018 growing season. A quarterly Arkansas State Plant Board meeting is scheduled for September 21.

The Arkansas Agriculture Department is dedicated to the development and implementation of policies and programs for Arkansas agriculture and forestry to keep its farmers and ranchers competitive in national and international markets while ensuring safe food, fiber, and

forest products for the citizens of the state and nation. Learn more at aad.arkansas.gov.

In 2015, there were 3,700 sudden unexpected infant deaths in the United States.

In an effort to find out what contributes to sudden infant death in Arkansas, the committee for Aging, Children and Youth, and Legislative Affairs is given an annual report from the Arkansas Infant and Child Death Review Program.

This report was presented earlier this month.

The Arkansas Infant and Child Death Review program was established in 2010. It consists of 10 local review teams that review unexpected deaths of Arkansas children ages birth to 17 years old.

Teams meet and review cases quarterly to identify circumstances of unexpected deaths and make recommendations for prevention based on their findings.

Under Act 1818 of 2005, cases that are reviewable meet the following criteria: a) Child was not under the care of a physician for treatment of an illness that is the cause of death. b) Death was due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. c) Death was due to an unknown cause. d) Death is not under criminal investigation or being prosecuted.

From 2010-2015, 283 cases have been reviewed. Of those cases, 20% involved motor vehicle accidents. And 10% of the cases reviewed were suicides.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and Sudden Unexplained Infant Death (SUID) are the leading cause of death in reviewed cases.

These deaths are frequently related to unsafe sleep practices, such as co-sleeping with parents, the placing of a child to sleep in an unsafe position or placing the child to sleep in an adult bed.

Soft objects in the crib, such as pillows, blankets, bumper pads and stuffed animals are also indicated as contributing factors in many of these sleep related deaths as these types of objects can obstruct a child’s airway, which may cause asphyx-

ia.

Through the review process, 123 (94%) of the infant cases reviewed as SIDS/SUID or asphyxia were determined to be sleep-related.

Often, more than one unsafe sleep practice was identified during the review process.

Among sleep-related deaths, co-sleeping was listed in 64 (52%) cases In 55 (46%) of the cases, the infants were not placed on their backs to sleep. And 79 (64%) of the cases, the child died while not in an approved crib, bassinette or play yard.

The American Academy of Pediatrics’ Task Force on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome updated its recommendations on SIDS and other sleeprelated infant deaths in 2016. Highlights of the recommendations include (but are not limited to):

what new policies may be needed to reduce the number of child death cases in our state. In the meantime, if you would like more information and resources concerning SIDS, visit www.cdc.gov/sids.

·Babies should be put to sleep on their back, not stomach or sides. ·Use a firm sleep surface with no soft objects or loose bedding ·Breastfeeding is recommended ·Room sharing (without bed sharing) for up to 1 year ·Offer a pacifier at nap and bedtime ·Avoid smoking, alcohol and illicit drugs during pregnancy and after birth

Main Activities Farmers continued rapid harvest pace in corn, soybean, and rice.

Senior Hornets win over McCrory in double overtime

by Ross Harper In a surprising, intense, and at many times nailbiting game Friday, the Hazen Hornets defeated the third-ranked team in 2A, the McCrory Jaguars.

Picked by Hootens to lose by 19 points, the Hornets played hard through four quarters and two overtimes to win 36-28. This hard-fought victory unseats McCrory as not only the number three in state, but also the number one team in conference.

At the beginning of the game, things did not look well for the Hornets.

Hazen opened by kicking off to the Jaguars, who scored on their first drive.

The conversion was no good, and they went up 06. The two teams battled for most of the quarter until McCrory scored their second touchdown of the night, this time with a good conversion, and the Hornets were down 014. Neither team could find the end-zone for the rest of the quarter. This continued for most of the second quarter as well, until Hazen finally scored on a keep by Jacob Weems. The conversion was no-good, but the Hornets were on the board 6-14. After Hazen got a quick stop against the Jaguars, Ay'Jon Green then scored the Hornets' second touchdown of the night. This was followed by a good conversion, and the game was tied 14-14 until after the half. In the third quarter, with ball after halftime, Hazen's offense slowly but surely drove the ball down the field until Green finally punched it into the endzone. The conversion was no-good, but the Hornets took the lead 20-14. Both teams battled it out for the rest of the third quarter and part of the fourth until the Jaguars scored their final touchdown in regulation. The conversion was stopped by Hazen's defense, but on

the play a member of the sideline crew was badly injured when he was run over by some of the players. A medical helicopter was called in to fly him to the hospital, which required the game to stop until this could be done.

He suffered a major concussion and swelling of the spinal cord, but thankfully is expected to make a full recovery.

When the game resumed, with a 20-20 tie, neither team could quite make it to the end-zone for the rest of regulation, putting the game into overtime.

For those wondering, overtime rules in high school require a coin toss to decide who gets first possession. The team who gets ball first than has four plays to score from the ten-yard line, followed by either an extra point or two-point conversion attempt if a touchdown is scored. After either the score or four plays, the other team gets ball to do the same. The team to first score a touchdown and get a stop then wins the game, and a turnover immediately stops a team's drive.

Friday, Hazen won the first coin toss and chose to be on defense first.

McCrory scored a touchdown and conversion, making it so that the Hornets had to do the same to keep the game alive. They did just that, and got ball first in the second overtime period.

Hazen scored another touchdown and conversion, putting the pressure on the Jaguars. McCrory then fumbled the ball, and Junior Minor recovered it to win the game.

This win was a big one for the Hornets. It potentially puts Hazen into the position to be conference champions this year, as McCrory was regarded as the best in the conference.

The Hornets will attempt to go 3-0 in conference this week as they play their homecoming game against the Brinkley Tigers.

Senior Hornets and fans celebrate after the hard-fought McCrory win.

Junior Hornets lose first conference game

by Ross Harper The Hazen Junior Hornets struggled Thursday as they faced off against the McCrory Jaguars at home. This loss is the first conference loss since the 2014 season against the Augusta Red Devils. The final score was 12-40.

Hazen did not get off to the worst of starts Thursday against their Jaguar opponents. The Hornets quickly drove the ball down the field until Donovan Harris

punched it into the endzone. The following conversion was no good, but Hazen was still on the board 6-0. After this, however, things rapidly took a turn for the worse. With ball back, McCrory answered with their first touchdown of the night, followed by a good conversion to make it 6-8. They then shut down the Hornet offense and scored again on the next drive. After the failed conversion, the Jaguars extended their

lead to 6-14.

Unfortunately, things continued this way for the entire night. In the second quarter, McCrory hastily scored again with another failed 2point and were up 6-20.

Hazen then scored their second and final touchdown by Eric Cohen.

The conversion was another failure, and the Hornets were still down 12-20. McCrory scored once more in the second quarter with another nogood conversion and

were up 12-26 until after half. In the third quarter, the Jaguars scored two more touchdowns, the first without a good conversion and the second with for a score of 12-40. Neither team scored in the fourth quarter.

Thursday's loss sets the Junior Hornets' record at 1-1 in conference.

They hope to make it 21 this week as they play their Homecoming game at Brinkley against the Tigers.

A message from Gov. Beebe Fellow Arkansans: This is Governor Mike Beebe with important information about health care that I think all Arkansans should know.

Over the past few months, I've closely followed the health-care debate going on in D.C. The constant sparring, rhetoric, and political grandstanding have been tiresome and terribly frustrating.

To really talk about health care, we first have to talk about how far we have come in Arkansas.

As recently as 2012, a quarter of the state’s entire population had NO health insurance.

Twenty-five percent or 750,000 people in Arkansas were uninsured. A vast majority of those folks were working families, the working poor, who simply didn’t earn enough to afford any insurance plan but earned too much to qualify for Medicaid.

Additionally, almost every rural hospital in our state was sinking from the costs of uncompensated care. This is the cost of care every hospital emergency room must shoulder to provide treatment to those who cannot pay for it and which eventually becomes a hidden tax on all of us who do have insurance.

Uncompensated care costs were becoming an epidemic threatening to bankrupt hospitals all over this country.

Needless to say, having rural communities facing hospital closures and a staggering number of people in the workforce without insurance posed enormous challenges to the overall well-being of our economy in Arkansas.

The solution, through the Affordable Care Act and agreed upon by both Democrats and Republicans working together, was to EXPAND MEDICAID through a compromise that became known as the “Private Option.” Our state agreed to expand health-care coverage to working Arkansans by expanding traditional Medicaid coverage, but we agreed to use private insurance plans to provide the expanded coverage.

This type of compromise had never taken place before, and we required a 75% super majority in both state chambers in order to pass, a very high bar! Despite the challenges involved, we showed the rest of the country that, in Arkansas, we could come together and do what was best for our state and our citizens.

It was a success. In

2014, Medicaid expansion contributed nearly $511 million to Arkansas’s GDP, or 0.41% growth, according to a report commissioned by the Arkansas Hospital Association.

The Private Option became a model for more conservative states around the country.

The Kaiser Family Foundation even started publishing articles praising our state’s accomplishments.

Kaiser Health News - April 1, 2015 Two Southern states — Arkansas and Kentucky — have expanded Medicaid so far. And those states have already seen positive results. The latest Gallup Poll shows that these states experienced the biggest drops in uninsured rates in the country.

(Texas and Georgia have the highest uninsured rates.)

Under expansion in Arkansas, more than 233,000 low-income residents have received health insurance. The state stands to save nearly $1 billion over a decade, thanks to expansion. Admissions of uninsured patients to hospitals fell by nearly half in the first six months of expansion.

Under Republican Governor Asa Hutchinson, we once again renewed our unique form of expanding Medicaid, albeit with a new name “Arkansas Works.”

In 2015, the State of Arkansas commissioned a report by the Stephen Group to give the full economic story of Medicaid expansion in Arkansas and its positive effects on our economy.

These are just some of the highlights.

You may wish to read the whole report at the link below: http://www.arkleg.state. ar.us/assembly/2015/Meet ing%20Attachments/836/I 14099/TSG%20Report%20%20October%207.2015.pdf Since 2013, Arkansas has provided more than 320,000 previously uninsured residents with affordable health-care coverage. We have led the country in reducing the percentage of uninsured residents.

Our economy thrived as well.

It played a significant role in the fact that, today, we have the lowest unemployment rate in our state’s history.

We will save more than $1.1 billion in reduction of uncompensated care costs, and the net positive impact on the state budget will be $438 million.

The positive economic benefits are well into the

billions!

I am extremely disappointed that lawmakers in Washington, D.C., have come up with legislation that would take away the success we have built here through “Arkansas Works,” through cooperation, and through a lot of hard work.

But then something happened that made me feel obligated to speak out.

There’s a health-care repeal bill up for consideration going by the name “Cassidy-Graham”. It's a terrible bill for Arkansans. It would end Medicaid expansion in Arkansas.

It would be devastating to our citizens and our economy.

The front page of the Arkansas DemocratGazette on Thursday reports that Arkansas will lose $6 BILLION in health-care funding over the next seven years under Cassidy-Graham!

It would be the end of “Arkansas Works.”

Ask your senators why.

Why disrupt the lives of 320,000 Arkansans who now have health-care coverage? Why create uncertainty in our health-care markets? Why sacrifice all the hard work we have put into building “Arkansas Works?”

Why would we go back?

We did the right thing by providing many of our citizens with access to coverage; we did the right thing in helping our hospitals reduce uncompensated care costs; and we did the right thing in implementing the program that boosted our economy by well over a billion dollars.

I’m proud of what we accomplished under my leadership in 2013, and I was just as proud of the work that was accomplished under Governor Hutchinson in 2015 to continue “Arkansas Works.”

Every Arkansan can be proud of the success we have had in implementing Medicaid expansion in our state, and we should fight with all of our might to keep it.

Call Senator Tom Cotton. Call Senator John Boozman. You can find their information below.

Tell them to vote against this health care bill.

Senator John Boozman Office: (501) 372-7153 Senator Tom Cotton Office: (870) 864-8582 Stay in this fight with us. More than 320,000 of your fellow Arkansans are depending on you.

They need your help and our state does too.

Take action and take care, Mike Beebe

Maeola holding her “Purple Midnight quilt top.

Quilt Society members meet The Grand Prairie Quilt Society met September 13 for their Sit 'n Sew at the Stuttgart Public Library with 6 members present.

Glenda opened the meeting with the thought for the day, "To quilt or not to quilt, now that's a silly question!"

Glenda told everyone about a new idea she saw online. It was making mini quilt blocks out of paper.

They can be framed and are very

interesting. She has also challenged herself to make a different flag block for each month in the coming year.

Everyone was encourage to come up with a new idea for the next meeting.

During Show and Share, Maeola showed her purple Midnight quilt top, a pink Razorback quilt top, and a baby quilt for the baby shower benefitting the Hope Women's Resource Center. Sherrye had 4 baby pillows for the HWRC. Glenda showed 15 small tote bags she has made for the Samaritan's purse Xmas shoeboxes and she also had a baby quilt and several bibs for the HWRC. After the business meeting, everyone got out their lunches and had a nice visit. Then it was time to get back to work: Eunice made several burp pads for the HWRC., Maeola cut out pieces for a baby quilt, Glenda cut strips for an "Aunt Grace" quilt, Ann cut out fleece blankets for the HWRC, Betty sewed several receiving blankets also for the HWRC. All too soon it was time to pack up and go home after a successful day of sewing and visiting.
