School Board transfer funds, pay increases The Hazen School Board voted to approve the transfer of $437,679.87 into the school district building fund from the district’s general funds in Period 13 of the 2016-17 fiscal year at its regular meeting held on Monday, August 28, in the high school library at 6 p.m. Present at the meeting were Superintendent Bill Crowder; Board Chair David Strohl; Board Members Davey Williams, Vickie Skarda, Richie Ingle, Freddie Rogers, Sandra Penn; and District Business Manager Sarah Snider. Crowder recommended the transfer of funds in an effort to keep around $1.345 million dollars in the general fund. The transfer will bring the building fund to $633,677.87. The building fund balance is not included in the district’s overall year-end balance by the state. Snider stated that by moving the funds out of the district’s general fund, there would be less chance of the district being put in fiscal distress. “Property values went up this past year,”
she said, “and we are seeing that this year.” “There are plans for this (the building fund) money,” Crowder told the board. “It will not just sit.” He mentioned the need for buses as one possible way the money would be spent. In other business, the board approved the superintendent’s recommendation to approve the 5% salary increase of certain employees from the 201516 school year to the 2016-17 school year. The vote was in accordance with Act 1120 of 2013 that requires school boards to review and approve certain salary increases within school districts. Because the salaries have already been paid, the vote was just a matter of protocol and meeting the law. When asked about why some of the salaries had increased by such large amounts, Snider explained that some employees had moved up on the salary schedule and others had been given additional duties for which they had been

Shown in front of the Vic Rhodes Insurance Agency sign is (l to r) the new owner, J. Russell Berryhill; Geraldine Rhodes; and office manager, Sheila Seeber.
Rhodes Insurance has new owner The M.V. (Vic) Rhodes Insurance Agency is now under new ownership. As of September 1, the business will now be run by Russell J. Berryhill of the Nationwide Insurance Company. The Rhodes Insurance Agency was opened in Hazen in the 1940’s, according to former owner Gerry Rhodes. Her husband, Vic Rhodes, who originally sold life insurance for the Life of Georgia company, opened up his own business because so many of his life insurance customers asked for other types of insurance coverage. The agency was first housed in Jackson’s Barbershop on North Front Street in Hazen, but it was moved to the present location on Hazen Ave. when a new building was erected in 1972. The new owner grew up in Hot Springs, AR on a
ranch. As a young man, he worked in his family’s produce business. He graduated with a B. S. degree from Minnesota State College and afterwards moved to Dallas,TX where he worked in management for Pier 1 Imports. He moved to Little Rock in 1996. He bagan his insurance career in 2003 when he opened a small office in West Little Rock. Since then, the agency has expanded to 4 locations in the state - Little Rock, Conway, Fort Smith, and White Hall. “We like to think of our agency as full-service because we have insurance solutions for your home, auto, toys, life, and retirement as well as your business and your farm, “ Berryhill said. Berryhill is certified as a “Commercial Lines Service Specialist, CLCS, and the agency has
received the “Masters Certification” from Nationwide Agribusiness, the nation’s #1 farm insurer in the country, according to Berryhill. “It is our goal to provide outstanding personal service, expertise, and value to our clients and to be recognized as the most respected insurance agency in the communities we serve,” Berryhill stated. “We are excited about the opportunity to continue to provide the tradition of exceptional, personal service that the M. V. Rhodes Insurance Agency has provided to the Prairie County community for many years Rhodes says that there will be no change in the Hazen office’s service. The business name will remain the same, and all policyholders will be kept. Sheila Seeber will continue to run the Hazen office.

There is an interview with Reese Witherspoon in the September issue of Southern Living magazine. In the interview, Witherspoon (a native of Nashville, Tennessee) makes this statement. “There’s nothing better than a southern person as they age. The stories get better and better and less and less true.” No truer words were ever spoken. I am no storyteller myself, as anyone familiar with me knows, but I love and admire the story-telling abilities of others. And it’s true that Southerners tell the best stories. It has to do with our culture, I suppose. I think it’s because southerners are watchers. We pay attention to what is going on around us. And we seem to find humor in most everything. Case in point - this past week, someone got very angry because I ran a certain picture in the paper. When I was told about the angry words this particular person aimed toward my employee, I laughed. My response caught her off guard as she was very upset about being attacked in such a fashion. So I guess I need to explain something. At the Herald, we don’t take pictures to make people look bad. And we try not to take pictures that would embarrass anyone. What struck me as funny was that this picture showed people doing good - donating time and effort to a cause. So why would anyone be mad about that? Besides, these days almost everyone posts pictures of everything that goes on in their lives for everyone to see on social media. Many of them see no problem with airing their own laundry, or the laundry of others online for the whole world to see. And as I said before, Southerners are watchers. So it goes without saying that all of us are always under someone’s eye. Someone is always paying attention to what we do, whether we want them to or not. Doing good is a good thing. It deserves

being celebrated. Speaking of pictures, there is a picture of a lovely woman on the front page this week, Mrs. Gerry Rhodes. I have known her all of my life, and to my knowledge she has never been anything but gracious and kind. Mrs. Gerry, as it says in the article, has sold the M.V. (Vic) Rhodes Insurance Agency, which she has kept open since her husband, Mr. Vic, passed away. This Hazen business was begun over 60 years ago. It’s one of the few businesses in Hazen that have been around that long. I want to take this opportunity to wish her a blessed “retirement.” Speaking of retirements, I also want to wish well to another lady that I have known all of my life, Mrs. Dean Walls of Des Arc. You may or may not know that the White River Journal closed its doors in August. I’m not sure that the final outcome of that event has been determined, but I would hate for Des Arc to lose its paper after 110 years of publication. The White River Journal has served the northern part of our county wisely and well these many years, announcing births and deaths, business openings and closings, reporting the activities at the school, and celebrating the lives of those who live in Prairie County. But now, the Journal may have gone the way of many other small town newspapers in Arkansas and across the country. In this day of “fake news” everywhere (did anyone see the latest Facebook post that the Rock, Duane Johnson, it hurts my heart to see the demise of another bastion of truth. All news, just like all politics, is local. No one else cares about us like we do.
Hello everyone! We at the Herald are wanted to get City Chatter back in The Herald!

Payouts of accumulated sick days for retirees also had to be included. A total of 38 employees had salary increases, up from 12 last year, Snider said. The board also voted to approve the list of school employees or employee family members who conduct business transactions with the district. School district employees who may be “directly interested” with those businesses must, as required by A.C.A.6-24101, be approved by the district board each year. The board also voted to allow a kindergarten student who lives five miles from the city of Stuttgart a legal transfer to that district on a year-by-year basis. In personnel matters, the board approved the hiring of Julie Young as the high school cheerleader sponsor the Wendy Perry as the junior high cheerleader sponsor for the 2017-18 school year. They also approved the hiring of three students Luke Prine, Jesseka Suggett, and Corbin Moore - to work in the cafeteria. Both the high school

and elementary principal told the board that the year had started well and that things were running smoothly. Clint Williams, the high school principal, stated that there are 10 confirmed cases of staff infections among the high school students, but the problem is under control. Elementary Principal Tiffany Glover said that there had been one case of staff confirmed in the elementary school. Williams said that football players with staff would have to be cleared by their doctors before being allowed to play in any games. Crowder reported that Entergy was promoting a new program that is aimed at reducing the usage of electricity. The program, which provides matching funds for heating and airconditioning units preventive maintenance expenses, could save the district over $7000, he said. “We should at least break even,” he said. The district has 73 units. Some of the new units in the elementary school are still not functioning properly, Crowder told the board. The district would pay $5553.55 for the mainte-
nance and Entergy would pay $13,000. Bobby Derden Heating and Air won the bid to do the work, Crowder said. The board was agreeable to the district’s participation, but because the Entergy program was not put on the agenda for this month, it will be put on the September agenda
and voted on then. Crowder said that his office would proceed as if it will be done. There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned. The next board meeting will be held on Monday, September 25 in the highschool library beginning at 6 p.m.
Des Arc Nursing and Rehabilitation Center Hope everyone had a wonderful week. We have been busy with activities this week.

Because of the 117 year history as a family and community newspaper, The Grand Prairie Herald is happy to publish a picture and the first 300 words of an obituary for free as a service and as a courtesy to the families of our community. Unfortunately, with the ever increasing cost of printing and other business expenses the paper cannot provide longer obits for free. Beginning with the 301st word, the rate will be 10 cents per word to publish. Due to the fact that a majority of obituaries are received from funeral homes, the paper reserves the right to edit unpaid obituaries down to 300 words. The entire obituary will only be published if the paper is contacted directly either by email or by phone. The cost of the obituary will be billed to those with accounts or will need to be paid for in advance. Phone: 870-255-4538 Email:heraldpublishing@gmail.com

High school seniors planning to attend college or technical school next fall should fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, also called the FAFSA, as soon as possible beginning Oct. 1. The information on the FAFSA determines if students qualify for federal grants and student loans. It is also required to apply for state grants and scholarships. In addition, many colleges use the information to award their own grants and scholarships. Therefore, students should submit the FAFSA even if they feel it is unlikely they will qualify for aid. The FAFSA asks for information about income, assets and expenses. A formula set by Congress determines eligibility for federal and state aid. If the student is considered a dependent under federal guidelines, both the student and parents must provide financial information. Nearly all students going directly to college from high school are considered dependent.

1 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish. 2 A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn. 3 A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved. 4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones. 5 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit. 6 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them. 7 The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand. 8 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised. 9 He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread. 10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. 11 He that tilleth his land
shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding. 12 The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit. 13 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble. 14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him. 15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. 16 A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame. 17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit. 18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. 19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment. 20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy. 21 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief. 22
Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. 23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness. 24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute. 25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. 26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them. 27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious. 28 In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death. 1 A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke. 2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence. 3 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. 4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the
soul of the diligent shall be made fat. 5 A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame. 6 Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner. 7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches. 8 The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke. 9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out. 10 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom. 11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. 12 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. 13 Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded. 14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. 15 Good understanding giveth
favour: but the way of transgressors is hard. 16 Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly. 17 A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health. 18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. 19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil. 20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. 21 Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed. 22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. 23 Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment. 24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. 25 The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.

EACC announces 2017-1 18 season’s school series
East Arkansas Community College announces the Fine Arts Center’s 2017-18 School Series performances designed to offer high quality performances that engage, explore, and inspire school children of all ages. Since April 2010, the School Series performances at EACC’s Fine Arts Center have attracted an attendance of over 11,000 area students from twenty-nine different school pro-
Crop Progress Rarely are Extension specialists at a loss for words – you know it’s true. After seeing the forecasts for rain and wind reduced all week long as Hurricane Harvey approached, we were all tempted to relax a little and hope for the best. And then Harvey arrived in a bad humor. Just how much rice is down or in the process of going down remains to be seen. So manyvariables are in play that sometimes it is better to be lucky than good. Early indications from areas that escaped the worst weather, but still received 4 inches of rain with light to moderate winds, indicate that a significant amount of lodging is already occurring in a number of fields. Some areas received 10+” of rainfall and some received
grams. Dedicated to providing meaningful experiences for enrichment through the arts, EACC is currently offering area schools the opportunity to reserve seats for two theatrical performances scheduled in the Fine Arts Center during the 2017-18 school year. Moon Mouse: A Space Odyssey Thursday, September 28, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. Recommended for Pre K – 4th Grades
stronger winds. In addition, those fields where only a small amount of lodging has occurred will be in a race against time. That small spot can be the first domino to fall and will push down more acres of rice. Many growers know this sick feeling all too well of watching rice melt to the ground while it’s still too wet to harvest. W h a t a b o u t yields now? After hearing very good yields for the past couple of weeks out of south and central areas, it’s reasonable to believe we may see some of those yields reduced due to lodging.
Lightwire Theater presents Moon Mouse, a cosmic adventure about celebrating differences. Combining dance, puppetry and traditional theater, this production features over 40 delightful characters brought to life by electro-luminescent wires to create a dazzling 3D experience. Charlotte’s Web Thursday, February 1, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. Recommended for Grades 1st – 6th Theaterworks’ production of Charlotte’s Web is based on E.B. White’s loving story of the friendship between a pig named Wilbur and a little gray spider named Charlotte. This treasured tale, featuring mad-cap and endearing farm animals, explores bravery, selfless love,
Additionally, harvest has been minimal in the north where the majority of rice is planted. Those areas hardest hit by early spring flooded have yet to give us a yield indication and now they will have lodging to deal with as well.
The delay in harvest progress, combined with lodging and rewetting of grain may spell considerably lower grain yield and milling yields for many. After the weather events of last fall the
and the true meaning of friendship. School administrators, teachers, and representatives will not want to miss the opportunity to see children delight in the magic and vibrant energy that can only be experienced through live performance. All shows are last approximately one hour. Seating for School Series performances is arranged on a first-come, first-served basis, admission is $5 per person (students, teachers, chaperones), and reservations are required. For more information or to reserve seats for a performance, schools should contact Niki Jones, Arts Center Manager at 870633-4480, ext. 352 or njones@eacc.edu.
early harvest success this year was a welcome sight. Unfortunately we have yet another, different, adverse weather event to contend with. How Much Rice is Down? Let’s address this specifically since this is a recurring and will be a repeated question. As of last week the state was 11% harvested for rice. With the push that occurred in advance of Hurricane Harvey let’s assume we raced to 25% completed harvest. Since we reportedly have about 1.1 million acres in the state that means we would have about 825,000 acres left in the field. Between some fields completely flat all the way to almost untouched, let’s say we have 10% of rice currently lodged – that would be over 80,000 downed acres. Depending on lodging severity and time spent in that condition, a conservative estimate could be 20 bu/acre lost from yield and several points of Head Rice lost from milling. Equally con-

cerning is the potential for stain, rot, and sprouting of the grains underneath the worst lodging. Let’s hope the forecast dry air and north wind happens this coming week as forecast so we can get this crop out. Rice Market Update New crop rice futures continue to work higher this week. After trading lower to start the week, the November contract is working on its’ third straight day of gains at mid-day Friday. At one point in Friday’s session the contract traded up to $13.03 before pulling back to $12.92 at midday. With November 2017 futures continuing to make life of contract highs, the next technical objective could be $13.44 on the November continuation chart. Rice futures are reflecting the fact the U.S. crop has run into adverse weather that is causing a lot of uncertainty in regards to the crop’s size and quality. Looking ahead, the Atlantic Ocean remains active. Recently upgraded to a category 3 hurricane, “Irma” could impact the U.S. coast in the next 10 days. Rice is in a full-on weather market.

RVP gas mandate to be waived State Agencies Modify Fuel Requirements through September 15 Following Hurricane Harvey LITTLE ROCK, AR - In response to Hurricane Harvey, a Category 4 storm, and anticipated shortages of summertime gasoline blends throughout the region, the Arkansas Agriculture Department and the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) have worked together to seek relief from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on fuel requirements for Low Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP). On August 31, 2017, ADEQ formally requested that EPA exercise its authority under the federal Clean Air Act to temporarily waive fuel requirements for RVP fuel and allow the distribution of 11.5 RVP gasoline throughout Arkansas. The EPA has granted two waivers that address multiple states, including Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. The waivers are effective immediately and will continue through September 15, 2017.

by Ross Harper The Hazen Hornets played their first game of the season last Friday against the Piggott Mohawks. Although fighting hard for four quarters, the Hornets could not secure a win against the 3A team. The final outcome was a 14-24 loss to start the season at 0-1. Hazen did not get off to a great start Friday night. Receiving the opening kickoff, the Hornets fumbled the ball to the Mohawks. Piggott quickly scored their first touchdown, and with a two-point conversion set the score at 0-8 early in the first quarter. Successfully securing the next kickoff, the Hornets were forced to punt after running only three plays. Hazen's defense was able to stop the Mohawk's next drive, but failed again to score when they got ball. Stalemate continued for the rest of the quarter and into the second, until Piggott scored off of a breakaway run. Another good conversion and they were up 0-16. The next drive, the Hornets put their first points on the board with
a pass by sophomore Blayne Toll to his classmate Tarrell Penn. Sophomore Ay'Jon Green scored the extra two points for Hazen, and the score became 8-16. With under thirty seconds left in the half, the Mohawks scored their third and final touchdown of the night. One more good two-point try and they were up 8-24. After halftime, the Hornets played considerably better, allowing no more touchdowns from their opponents. They also scored once more on a run by Green late in the third quarter. The conversion was no good, however, and the Hornets were down 1424. Neither team was able to score for the remainder of the game. Although the Hornets started the season with a loss, many more games are left to be played before the year is out. This game also will not count against the Hornets in conference or playoff standings as Piggott is 3A and nonconference. The Hornets will travel to Clarendon next week to face off against the Lions.
