Local 4-H H teens attend Witt Stephens Jr. Central Arkansas Nature Center and Arkansas River Trail

By Shea Wilson Prairie County Extension Agent FCS/4-H Prairie and Lonoke County 4-H teens spent part of their spring break touring the Witt Stephens Jr. Central Arkansas Nature Center and Arkansas River Trail in downtown Little Rock.

While at the Nature Center, they participated in a Geocaching activity where they learned to use coordinates to locate four small geocaches. By combining GPS technology, sleuthing, and outdoor exploration, geocaching engaged them in an educational tour of the nature center.

FREE POPCORN AND BRAND NEW MOVIE. “JOHNNY”

When Dr. Drew Carter (Mel Fair) tragically lost his ten-year old son in a car accident while his wife was driving, he didn't expect to lose his whole family as well. Since the accident, his wife, Julia (Musetta Vander), has become emotionally absent from Drew and their daughter, Kayla (Aubyn Cole). When Dr. Miller (Lee Majors) refers Johnny (Jerry Phillips), a foster child with leukemia, to Drew, the wheels start to turn and Drew sees a chance to heal his family.

Because Julia remains in a perpetual guilt-ridden state grief, she is opposed to the idea of adopting this terminally ill boy.

With Kayla feeling increasingly more rejected by her own mother and Drew growing more distant from his wife, he decides to take matters into his own hands and adopts Johnny for better or for worse. Johnny doesn't know what he is in for, but is convinced he is here for a special mission; a mission that is revealed when he enters Dr. Carter's world.

Hazen Fire Department sets controlled burn to old house The Hazen Fire Department’s latest residential controlled burn was on Monday, March 28. The former house of Andy Stalling’s mother, Betty Stallings, on West Madison Street was unlivable and had lots of wear and tear from years of no one living in it, so it was able to be considered condemnable. The Fire Department had both ends of West Madison Street blocked for everyone’s safety. After houses are condemned or unsafe and when the weather permits, the Fire Department will conduct controlled burns. Photo courtesy of Fire Chief Ashley Lourdermilk.

USDA/1890 Scholarship Deadline April 11 PINE BLUFF, Ark. High school seniors and college freshmen, sophomores and juniors wondering how they are going to pay off their student loans may want to consider being named a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) 1890 National Scholar, said George Richardson, USDA 1890 program liaison at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff.

The National Scholars Program awards scholarships to students attending one of nineteen 1890 Historically Black Land Grant Universities and pursuing a bachelor's

degree in agriculture, food, natural resource sciences or related academic disciplines.

Students receive full tuition, room and board and a summer job with USDA while in college.

When the program began in 1992, applicants had to be incoming freshmen, but now the program is open to college sophomores and juniors who demonstrate leadership and community service, said Richardson.

Applicants submit their application packets directly to the 1890 institution of their choice and then the institution submits the scholar's program packet

directly to the USDA Office of Advocacy and Outreach, which contacts the USDA agencies who make the final selections.

Each institution can submit up to 12 packets, said Richardson.

The scholarship deadline is April 21. Application packets are posted on the web at http://www.outreach.usda.gov/education/1890.

New Bethel News

By Donna Kelly

New location for ArCare ArCare in Hazen was seen moving into their new building next to Dollar General on 789 Hwy 63 on Wednesday, March 30. They were closed at their old office on 24 East Front Street from Wednesday, March 30 to Friday, April 1 to set up and move everything into their new building. They had to hurriedly move a lot of their items before the rain arrived. The staff, nurses and doctor were excited to be moving into their new location.

We had a beautiful day Sunday, a nice crowd out for church services.

Sorry we have not been able to keep up with all the news. Going to the Wound Care Center and being there at 8:30. It takes a lot out of you in 7 months.

We were dismissed from the doctor at Wound Care Center last Monday. We had a nurse from Elite Home Care on Friday.

Don’t know their plans but should hear from them this week.

Our kids all came for dinner on Sunday the 28th. Also Charles and Vicki and Bruce and Allen’s grandmother Dora Mae. We had an enjoyable day. The little ones enjoyed the day also.

Evelyn Greenwalt was back in church today after having surgery. We missed Marilyn Edge as she was not feeling well.

Allen McElroy has accepted Morris Chapel Church and will be ordained Sunday April 10 at 2 O’clock. It will be a special day.

It’s good to see Tommy Martin back in church after his problems from falling.

We have been looking forward to seeing the farmers back in the field’s, We have had so much rain it seems to be a little late start. I wish them good luck. We grew up on and worked on the farm for years and I always think of them when times get hard.

I had a phone call from Charlene Sunday afternoon. Jan is doing well.

Charlene is going to see her family in Texas.

We missed Linda and Ronnie Loudermilk at Church. Just hope they are not sick. Ronnie had

quite a cold a couple of weeks ago.

We wish everyone a great week.

Prairie County Jail Report

EMS Corner - Chemicals

By Pam Padget Response and decontamination for a large-scale chemical event is a reality. The number of trucks on 140 between Memphis and Little Rock is mind boggling. We probably do not want to know everything that travels up and down our highways. When confronted with a large number of people exposed to a toxic industrial chemical, we should remember one rule: "consider the victims to be on fire and act with the same urgency.

Sobering as that may seem, this practical look can help prioritize and provide the best care for the most people.

Medical management after a large scale chemical release requires certain steps to remove the patients from the contamination, decontaminate them on scene prior to transport to the hospital.

The number one thing that responders need to be aware of "is the scene safe". If responders fall victim to the chemical toxin they will be of no help to the patients and they become a patient, also. Knowing what to do in such a disaster begins with understanding that every minute counts and that patient decon is a first aid procedure. When performed swiftly and with the proper techniques, decon limits adverse health effects and protects responders and

hospital staff from secondary contamination.

Preparedness is critical because the threat is real.

In 2005, a train collision in S. Carolina ruptured a tank car carrying chlorine gas, nine people died and more than 500 others were treated for exposure.

Hazardous chemicals can enter the body two ways, through the skin and inhalation. Focus needs to be removing the chemical from the skin and clothing. Dose is the time of duration and concentration of the exposure, the higher the dose the more serious the health outcome.

Toxic liquids splashed on the skin typically cause tissue damage such as chemical burns or blisters. The quicker this is removed the less absorption will occur and less severe the health effects will be. Besides injury to the skin, some chemicals can penetrate the skin and enter the blood stream. Hydrofluoric acid and organophosphate insecticides are two examples of this.

The route of exposure will determine to decon procedure. Gases and vapors pose inhalation risks but many do not pose skin absorption threats, such as carbon monoxide. That said, some vapors can condense on the skin and clothing and pose a risk. Some toxins can enter the skin easily

and quickly while others may have a slow absorption and the patient may fall ill hours after the event.

Once on scene responders need to focus on those requiring immediate medical care and those grossly contaminated. Some victims will have left the area before responders arrive and before decon equipment is ready to use.

It is a difficult job to try to convince someone who may be in serious condition to stay to be decontaminated before treatment and transport. The first step is to remove clothing and flush the body with copious amounts of water. These two things must be done as quickly as possible this will limit the contact with the chemical and limit absorption.

The Department of Homeland Security established the Chemical Defense Program in 2011to help build preparedness and response capabilities.

They seek to develop science into best practices and identify the best method of patient decon in large scale events where resources are limited.

Until that time responders need to remember that in a major chemical release that patient decon is primarily a first aid procedure and in treating patients, they face a race against time.

1 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.

2 A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.

3 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.

4 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.

5 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.

6 Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.

7 Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.

8 A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.

9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

10 A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.

11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

12 Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.

13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.

14 The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.

15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD. 16 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?

17 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

18 A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.

19 He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.

20 He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

21 He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow:

and the father of a fool hath no joy.

22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

23 A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.

24 Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

25 A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him.

26 Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.

27 He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.

28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

1 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.

2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.

3 When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with

ignominy reproach.

4 The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.

6 A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.

7 A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.

8 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

9 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.

10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.

12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.

13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.

14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who

can bear?

15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

16 A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.

17 He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.

18 The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.

19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD. 23 The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.

24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

Hornets suffer winless week despite close conference openers

By Nathaniel Bradow The Hornet baseball team had a rough go of it last week as they came back from a weeklong layoff over Spring Break. After starting the week with pitiful performance against the Glen Rose Beavers, the Hornets rebounded to give their conference foe, the McCrory Jaguars, two close games.

Friday evening the Hornets travelled to McCrory to open their conference schedule, which had been delayed by rain over the past few weeks of the season. The Jaguars came into play sporting an impressive 14-3 overall record and having already played 6 conference games going 5-1. The Hornets on the other hand have struggled against some pretty stout competition this season and came into play with a 2-6 record.

The opening game of the conference doubleheader was a defensive contest from the opening pitch. The Jaguars’ ace Cade Campbell held the Hornet offense at bay through most of the con-

test, but baserunning mistakes ended a couple of rally chances in the 5th and 6th innings.

The Hornet hurler, sophomore Luke VanHouten, had a phenomenal performance on the bump. He threw 6 complete innings and surrendered only 1 unearned run in the 3rd inning when a fly ball to right was dropped by freshman Gavin Rogers allowing a runner to score from 3rd base.

VanHouten struckout 2 Jaguar hitters and walked only 2 as well.

The Hornets threatened in the top of the 4th as 4 hitters reached base, but baserunning mistakes gave the Jaguars outs and the Hornets were unable to find a timely hit to push a run across.

The Hornets looked poised to score again in the 5th with a couple of infield hits. But lead-off hitter Drake Ingle was picked-off 1st to stem the Hornet’s rally.

The Hornets’ running mistakes hindered them again in the top of the 7th. 3rd baseman Parker Kerr was forced at 2nd after misjudging what

should have been a bloop single to left. Despite that singles by Christian Harris and Landon Williams put the tying and go-ahead runs on base with 2 outs. But a strikeout by freshman centerfielder Jacob Weems ended the Hornets’ chance at a comeback.

VanHouten was saddled with a loss despite not giving up an earned run 0-1.

In the 2nd half of the double-header, freshman Jacob Weems took the hill for the Hornets and had a good night as well against a hard-hitting Jaguar team.

After some control issues in the top of the first, Weems settled down and held the Jaguars scoreless in the first 3 innings of play.

The Hornet offense struggled in the first 4 innings against the Jaguars number 2 starter Kaigen Rogo.

The Hornets put the bat on the ball, but hit it right at the Jaguar defense.

The Jags struck first in the top of the 4th with a 2-out rally. A walk fol-

lowed by 2 hits put gave the Jags a 1-0 lead.

The Jags put 2 more across with another 2out rally in the top of the 6th. Four seeing-eye singles combined to pad the Jags lead to 3-0.

The Hornets got one back in the bottom of the 6th. With one out Ingle drew a walk and stole 2nd base. Ingle advanced to 3rd on a ball in the dirt, and one out later senior catcher Cody Kee drew a walk. Kee stole 2nd to put 2 in scoring position. Ingle scored the lone Hornet run on a passed ball to cut the Jaguar lead to 3-1.

The Jags were able to push one more run across in the top of the 7th as Weems began to wear down. An RBI double to left knocked Weems out of the game and gave the Jags a 4-1 lead. Sophomore Landon Williams took over to close things out for the Hornets. After Williams walked a batter, Kee threw out a baserunner attempting to steal 3rd.

Two batters later Williams tossed his lone strikeout to shut the door on the Jaguar rally.

The Hornets were able to get the tying run to the plate in the bottom of the 7th when Kerr was hit by a pitch and Harris drew a walk to start the inning. Rogo was replaced by Campbell after his wild start. A sac fly by Williams moved Kerr to 3rd, but Campbell was able to shut the Hornets down with 2 strikeouts to end the game with a Jaguar 4-1 win.

Despite the losses, the Hornets’ defensive performance was the best they had exhibited all year. Through 13 inning of play, the Hornets only made 3 defensive errors leading to 2 unearned runs. For most of the season the Hornets had struggled defensively, but these performances may signal the turning of a corner for the Hornets.

Defensive struggles could not have been more apparent Tuesday evening as the Hornets travel to Glen Rose to take on the Beavers, a team they had beaten during the Indian Invitational Tournament in Poyen 3 weeks before.

The Hornets committed 12 errors through 5 innings of play to spot the Glen Rose 10 unearned runs in their 0-11 loss to the Beavers.

The Hornets’ sticks were silent as well, as they only managed 2 base runners and 0 hits in the contest.

The Beavers’ pitcher faced just 1 hitter over the minimum in what was easily the Hornets worst all-around performance of the season.

This week the Hornets travel Monday evening to take on their 6-2A Conference rival the Carlisle Bison in their 2nd conference doubleheader of the year. On Tuesday the Hornets will host the England Lions in a non-conference varsity and junior varsity matchup. And on Friday the Hornets will play host to the PalestineWheatley Patriots in another 6-2A conference matchup. Monday’s double-header against the Bison will begin at 4:30 pm. The Hornets’ home games on Tuesday and Friday are both set to begin at 4:30 pm at Sims Park.

Lady Hornets Struggle Against Class 3A and 4A teams; go 1-3 3 for the week

By David Hoover Playing games against Mayflower, Lonoke and CAC may be good for improving their skills but losing is still losing and the Lady Hornets ended the week with only a win against the Lonoke JV team in their four games.

They lost three other games including 9-5 against 3A Mayflower, 30 against 4A Lonoke and 13-8 against 4A CAC, although they were competitive in all three games.

The week began with a home game against Mayflower, and the Eagles scored three runs without a base hit in the first inning. Hazen got two of those back in their half of the inning on a walk, a single and an outfield error. Both teams went down in order in the second and the score remained 3-2. A walk, a single and an error led to another Mayflower run in the third inning before the Lady Hornets rallied in the bottom of the inning. Elizabeth Foot reached second on an error by the right fielder and scored on an error by the second baseman. One out later, Sadie Shuck walked and took second when Allie Burroughs reached on another Mayflower error. Both runners scored on Faith Young's single to right for a 5-4 lead after three innings.

After a scoreless fourth, the Eagles scored twice in the fifth on four consecutive singles and twice in the sixth and one in the seventh to stretch the lead out to four runs, 9-5.

Hazen could only manage a single baserunner in the fourth, fifth and seventh innings without scoring the rest of the way. Young led Hazen with two hits Burroughs struck out ten while sur-

rendering six hits and four walks. Thursday's scheduled double header against Des Arc was rescheduled due to wet fields and giving Hazen an extra day off before beginning play in the Lonoke Invitational Tournament.

On Friday, the Lady Hornets played against the Lonoke JV team and made short work of them with a convincing 13-2 victory. Hazen got off to a fast start when Foot singled to lead off the game followed by both Abby Rounsavall and Shuck reaching on errors scoring Foot. Burroughs walked to load the bases. After a two consecutive force plays at home, Chase Wiggins walked to force home the second run and an error by Lonoke on a fly ball by Morgan Stock allowed two more runs to score. Stock scored on a wild pitch and the Hornets led 5-0 heading to the bottom of the first.

Hazen scored single runs in the second and third on a ground ball out and a sacrifice fly. Lonoke's lone score came in the second on a hit batter, a stolen base and a single to center.

The Hornets put the game away in the top of the fourth with a six run outburst on RBI singles

by Young, Payton Fought and Brayden Williams and steals of home by Fought and Williams for

a 13-1 lead. A walk, a stolen base and a ground ball plated Lonoke's other run. Hazen left the bases loaded in the fifth and Burroughs struck out the side in the bottom of the inning to end the game.

Fought led the team with two hits and both she and Williams drove in two runs apiece. Burroughs pitched all five innings and gave up two hits and three walks while striking out thirteen batters.

Saturday's competition was at a higher level and the first game was a very close one, with Lonoke squeezing out a 3-0 win despite a strong performance by Burroughs on the mound. Allie struck out nine, walked five and gave up just three hits but the Hornets made six errors that led to all three Jackrabbit runs being unearned.

Hazen loaded the bases with no outs in the top of the first but stranded all the runners when the next three batters struck out swinging. Lonoke loaded the bases in their half of the inning with two outs but Burroughs ended up striking out the side to keep it a scoreless game. Both teams put two runners on base in the second but stranded them, making it a total of ten runners left on base in just two innings. A scoreless third inning was highlighted by Lonoke getting three base run-

Civil War Column

By Ron Kelley In late March of 1861, groups of men throughout Arkansas began piling into organizations that would eventually become Confederate regiments.

As men from all across the state began taking a keen interest in leaving the Union and joining the Confederate army, fundraiser began to become commonplace throughout Arkansas.

Raising a unit of Confederate men was a tough job, as their counterparts in the north were a part of an alreadystanding military that was established in the

1700’s. The Confederate army had to start from scratch.

One such fundraiser occurred in Pulaski County in Lefevre Township.

According to an 1861 Arkansas True Democrat, the citizens of Lefevre decided to appoint committees earmarked to some aspect of a fundraiser to take place the following month, when “a secession pole will be raised, upon which the ladies will hoist a blue flag.”

The notice continued, “There will be several orations on the present

impending questions, and also a good band of music will be in attendance.”

The editorial closed with the promise of, “a large and sumptuous dinner will be given, and a sufficiency of good water.”

The editor of this column, Ron Kelley, is a Public Historian in Helena, Arkansas and writes for the Helena World newspaper. Kelley is the author of Diary of a State: 1860 and Arkansas in the Civil War: 1861.

ners but no clutch hitting and leaving it 0-0 heading to the fourth inning.

The Lady Hornets went down in order and Lonoke put together a rally in the bottom of the inning. A leadoff walk, a Hazen throwing error, a wild pitch and a bunt single broke the tie with one out. Burroughs struck out another batter for the second out and it looked like the damage would be held to one run. But, two more fielding errors led to two runs and the Jackrabbits led 3-0 heading to the fifth. Hazen went down 1-2-3 on three ground balls to end the game. Hazen managed just three hits and drew two walks and left six runners on base.

Later, the Hornets would take on the CAC Lady Mustangs who had their hitting shoes ready for the game. CAC combined two singles and two hit batters to take a 2-0 first inning lead. Foot singled, went to third on a Mustang error and scored on a ground ball to trim the lead to 2-1. Two more singles, a walk, an error and a ground ball plated two more runs in the second and a 4-1 lead for CAC. The Lady Hornets rallied to tie the game in the second with three runs after two outs. Stock and Foot both reached on errors and came around to score when the Mustangs fielders couldn't handle the ball clean-

A single by Rounsavall, another CAC error and a double by Sydney Bateman and the game was deadlocked 4-4 after two innings. That's when things fell apart.

The Mustangs struck for five runs in the third on four singles, two walks and a hit batter to make the score 9-4 heading to the home half of the third. Singles by Fought and Stock, sandwiched around another CAC error score one run for Hazen to draw within four runs. Neither team could score in the fourth inning leaving the score at 9-5 heading to the fifth.

Three doubles resulted in two more CAC runs and Hazen responded with a single run when Young reached base on an error and scored on Wiggins' double to center-

field. Each team scored two runs in the sixth inning giving the Lady Mustangs a wild 13-8 win, despite committing eleven errors. Rounsavall and Foot each had two hits and Bateman led the team with two RBI's.

Payton Fought pitched all six innings giving up 14 hits and walking 4 batters while striking out five. It was her first pitching assignment of the season.

Red Cross asks for blood donations this spring; April 16-3 30 LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (April 1, 2016) - The American Red Cross encourages eligible blood donors to donate blood this spring to ensure a sufficient supply for patients at approximately 2,600 hospitals across the country.

Donated blood is perishable and must constantly be replenished to keep up with hospital patient need. Red blood cells are the blood component most frequently transfused by hospitals and must be used within 42 days of donation.

Eligible donors can give red blood cells through either a regular whole blood donation or a double red cell donation, where available.

During a double red cell donation, two units of red blood cells are collected while most of the plasma and platelets are returned to the donor.

Double red cell donors must meet additional eligibility criteria, which will be determined at the donation appointment.

Debbie Cody-Nabors is a blood donor who gives double red cells. Her mother received transfusions twice a week during treatment for aplastic anemia. "I donate blood as often as I can in memory of my mom," she said. "Please donate blood if you can to help save lives as you never know when you'll be on the receiving end."

Donors with all blood types are needed, especially those with types O, A negative and B negative. Whole blood can be donated every 56 days, up to six times a year, and double red cells may be donated every 112 days, up to three times per year.

To make an appointment to give blood, download the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or

call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
