By Kim Wilson A Community Prayer Event will be held at the Gazebo in the city park on Thursday, May 5th, at 6:30 pm and will last about an hour.The Prayer Event is being held in conjunction with the National Day of Prayer, which is an annual event held on the first Thursday in May. It was created in 1952 by the United States Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman.

The theme for this year’s National Day of Prayer is “Wake Up America”, emphasizing the crucial need for individuals, corporately and individually, to return to

the God of our Fathers in reverence and obedience.

The Bible Scripture for this year’s theme is from Isaiah 58:1 “shout it aloud, do not hold back.

Raise your voice like a trumpet.

The citizens of Hazen and the surrounding communities are urged to come together and be united in earnest prayer for our country, our city leaders, our school, our churches, our families, and the lost & oppressed.

This will be a time for God’s people to come together before their creator without any denominational, racial, or social division. Pastors/Elders from the city’s churches are joining together to lead prayers on the different topics, giving individuals silent time for their own prayers.

Alderman Alice Metcalf reported that after discussing the matter at length the council approved re-hiring both part time officers and giving Chief Spain the flexibility to work as needed to provide safety for the citizens of the city.

Metcalf also reported that a Police Department Committee had been established to oversee matters concerning the department.

Frederick Owens Jr. Case Dismissed On Wednesday, April 27 the case for Frederick Owens, Jr. Murder Trial was dismissed by Judge Tom Hughes after a lengthy discussion period with the Prosecutors and Defense. The case was thrown out of court due to Owens not having a speedy trial. The prosecutors and defense both gave their arguments to Hughes; however, he had to follow the law and dismiss the case.

2012. Due to the dismissal of the trial, Owens can not be retried for the murder of Buck.

The law states in Arkansas that the defendant was to be brought to trial within 12 months, excluding certain time frames; unfortunately, for the Buck family Owens was not tried within a year of his arrest.

Doris Pasley Doris Pasley, 93, of Carlisle, the second of seven children born to Amos and B e s s i e Cohorn, was born October 22, 1922 and died April 24, 2016. She was the last survivor.

She was raised in the Gravel Hill community during the very heart of the depression; she understood what it meant to be poor. Doris grew up on a rocky farm in hard times; an experience similar to many others of her time and place. The days of chopping cotton, milking cows, cooking, caring for her blind grandmother, as well as other work, prepared her far better for the life she came to know than the time spent in the rural schoolhouse down the road a few miles away.

Her memory was extraordinary for dates, people, and places. If she ever knew a fact, she didn’t forget it. She was the family memory bank.

Doris was a quiet person with a certain innate dignity, and much preferred to be in the background and give place to others.

She found expression in service to others.

She came to Jesus as a teenager at the small Baptist church she attended in Gravel Hill, Arkansas.

Doris later taught children’s Sunday School and Vacation Bible School.

Through the years, her service also included preparing for an unknown number of church pot lucks and Sunday dinners.

On July 4, 1942, she married Raymond Pasley at the preachers house late in the day after the preacher had finished feeding his stock. They were married outside with little ceremony. Yet this humble beginning did not make them feel slighted in the least, but rather happy to just be together.

They were devoted to each other until death parted them when Raymond died in 1996.

Their union produced four sons: Larry, wife Alicia; Alton, wife Sharon; Mike, wife Jan, and Donnie, wife Janet. There are eleven grandchildren, nineteen great grandchildren and six great, great, grandchildren.

The early married years saw several moves.

Raymond was saved in 1948 and his priorities began to change. They started farming in 1951 and did so until 1971.

Doris was a farm wife,

and while he worked on the farm, she worked in the house and raised her boys. Raymond had the easier job.

Doris also worked for over 30 years at the Shirlyn shop in Carlisle, helping Lucy, Faylynn and Windy with the store.

At Doris’s house, there was always an ample table. None needed to go away hungry.

There was also going to be something for us boys to snack on after school.

She always looked out for us, always. We knew she was in our corner.

Her grandchildren loved her and she them.

Nothing was more precious in her eyes than a baby, however she never got to have that baby girl.

Her life will be remembered but by few, but to us she was our strength and our safe haven. We were blessed to know her love and call her Granny and Mamma.

Visitation was Tuesday, April 26, 2016 from 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. at Westbrook Funeral Home in Hazen.

Funeral services were 10:00 A.M., Wednesday, April 27 at The First Baptist Church in Carlisle.

Burial was in the Carlisle Cemetery.

Arrangements are by Westbrook Funeral Home of Hazen.

Clinton Center Reschedules 3rd Annual 'Bridge to the Future' Free Community Festival LITTLE ROCK, Ark. The Clinton Presidential Center has rescheduled the "Bridge to the Future" festival for Saturday, May 21.

Originally scheduled for THIS Saturday, the festival has been postponed as a result of potential severe weather.

The Clinton Presidential Center, along with partners Hippy Arkansas and Special Olympics Arkansas, will host the "Bridge to the Future" Festival, a free community festival that encourages students to read throughout their summer break and will include fun activities for kids, and literacy, health, and safety resources for parents. The free festival is 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

According to extensive research, all students experience some level of "summer learning loss" or "summer setback" while on summer breaks. Some students are more effected by the summer break than their peers. Some quick facts: * Students score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation

than they do at the beginning of summer vacation. * Students who see the biggest drops in test scores are already in higher-risk low-income groups. * "Summer setback" has a cumulative effect and can follow students through high school. * Educators, on average, spend four-to-six weeks reteaching material that was lost during the "summer setback."

"HIPPY Arkansas is committed to preparing children for success in school, and we are proud partners in the Bridge to the Future Festival," said Tyra Greenwood, ACH HIPPY Arkansas State Manager.

"We are excited to bring children and parents from across the state to this fun, family-friendly event."

Activities for families: * Free books from the Reading Is Fundamental "AR Kids Read" program * Crafts and coloring activities, including making a book * Appearances by Cookie Mouse and Curious George * Story time * Central Arkansas Library System library

Prairie County Land Auction Nets $5,270 (May 2, 2016) LITTLE ROCK, ARK — The recent auction of taxdelinquent properties in Prairie County collected more than $5,000 for county and state government, the Commissioner of State Lands announced.

Prairie County

Crop Report from Brent Griffin County Extension Agent/Staff Chair Days of field work: 4 Top Soil Moisture: 100% surplus Sub Soil Moisture: 100% adequate Livestock Condition: 3 Fair MAIN ACTIVITIES: Scattered rainfall limited some field work early week and heavy rainfall halted all field work end of the week.

Rice planting continued with soybean planting moving forward.

Herbicide applications continued for corn and rice with early corn receiving layby Nitrogen. Face flies and gnats continue to trouble livestock.

CROP PROGRESS: Corn: 100% planted, 95% emerged Rice: 85% planted, 60% emerged Soybean: 15% planted, 10% emerged CROP CONDITION: Corn: 100% Fair Rice: 100% Fair Soybean: 100% Fair Pasture/Hay: 100% Good

The Land Commissioner’s office conducted the auction of delinquent properties recently at the Prairie County Courthouse. Nine bidders participated in the auction, which sold six of the 10 available parcels for a total of $5,270.17 for Prairie County and state government.

The Land Commissioner’s office conducts one tax-delinquent land sale per county each year to dispose of land on which the taxes have been past due over two years.

“We auction only a small percentage of parcels certified for delinquent taxes,” Commissioner John Thurston said. “In most cases, the original owner redeems the delinquent property by paying the back taxes.”

While redemption of property is the preferred method of disposing of tax-delinquent lands, Thurston notes the important role of land sales in returning inactive parcels to the tax rolls.

Registered bidders may purchase land at the auctions. Registration to bid at land sales is free.

Upon sale of tax-delinquent property, the Commissioner issues a limited warranty deed to the highest bidder.

Thurston’s office returns delinquent tax and interest collected, whether through redemption or sale, to the county taxing unit just as if the money had been originally collected there.

“Last year, we returned almost $20 million to school districts and county governments,” Thurston said. “Prairie County received almost $23,243 of that amount.

This is an important process, because it provides stable revenue for necessary services including public schools.”

Interested Arkansas residents may visit the Commissioner of State Lands website, www.cosl.org, to view the public auction catalog, a listing of properties offered at auction, or the post-auction sales list of properties available that did not sell at auction.

New Bethel News

By Donna Kelly It was good to see the sunshine Sunday morning. However on our way to church we saw water on some of the fields that was pretty deep. The ground had not be planted.

I had to go to Lonoke Saturday to pick up medicine and the fields looked like fish ponds.

We had the nurse come on Saturday and dismissed John from their list. It has been nearly 8 months. We are still watching his foot for fear it might come back. We will be very careful.

I haven’t talked to Charles lately. He had some teeth taken out and

left him feeling pretty bad.

We are remembering families of those who have lost loved ones.

We had a good service Sunday at church. On Sunday evening we had a special service for 3 young men that will graduate this year, we had fellowship after service and several families of the three came to be with us.

I heard from my granddaughter Kim that Mrs. Marian Simmons spent a couple of days in the hospital, she returned to Chambers Nursing under close care of hospice. Our prayers are with all.

I had a phone call from Charlene last week. Her daughter Jan was doing rather good.

We are watching the news. They say it is going to be a little cooler.

We may have more rain, we wish all a good week.

Our little Great grand son Jase spent a few days last week with John and I. He had been feeling bad and running fever and was kept out of school. His Mom had somethings she had to do.

We are always eager to see or keep the little one’s.

Haven’t heard from him but, I hope he is feeling better and back in school.

Lady Hornets Finish Regular Season Strong, Sweep Carlisle 9-0 0, 11-1 1 with Pair of No Hitters

By David Hoover Finally able to squeeze in ball games between the rain drops, the Hazen Lady Hornets finished their regular season in style with a doubleheader sweep of the Lady Bison at Carlisle. Pitcher Allie Burroughs didn't give the home team much of a chance as she threw her sixth and seventh no-hitters of the season to lead Hazen to a 10-2 conference record and the second seed in the conference tournament, which will also be held in Carlisle.

In the first game, Burroughs reached base on a dropped third strike in the top of the second.

Pinch runner Tracie Strong scored two outs later after a Chase Wiggins single and an error. Morgan Stock walked and both runners scored later on a wild pitch and an error giving a 3-0 lead. In the fourth, Payton Fought walked to lead off the inning and scored on a double by Wiggins. The next two batters went down but Wiggins scored on another wild pitch. A two out single by Elizabeth Foot and a double by Abby Rounsavall pushed across the final run of the inning. The Hornets pushed across three more runs in the top of the fifth when they loaded the bases on three walks and all three runners

scored when Stock singled to right field and Carlisle mishandled the ball. The Lady Bison coaxed a pair of walks off Burroughs in the bottom of the inning and put a baserunner on second base for only the second time in their half of the fifth before Burroughs slammed the door on the rally with her tenth strikeout of the game.

Hazen only managed five hits but combined them with eight walks in the 9-0 whitewash of their rivals.

In the second game, the Lady Hornets pounded out nine hits, two each by Foot and Stock, and drew four walks to put the game out of reach early.

Playing as the home team, Hazen put four runs on the board in the first inning. Foot led off with a double and scored when Rounsavall reached first on an error. Faith Young walked to put two runners on and Rounsavall scored on an error by the Carlisle outfield to make it a 2-0 game. With runners on second and third, Fought hit a ground ball to third to score Young and Stock's infield single scored pinch runner Strong for a 4-0 lead.

Carlisle scored their only run in the second when a batter reached first base on a dropped third strike, went to second on a wild pitch, took third on an

The Club is planning another outing for May.

error and scored on another wild pitch.

In the bottom of the second, Hazen scored twice more when a walk and a Carlisle error preceded a run scoring groundball and an RBI single by Sadie Shuck for a 6-0 lead. The Lady Bison threatened to score in the third when they got a runner to third base on a walk and two errors. But, Burroughs fielded a ground ball and threw to Rounsavall who tagged the runner out at home trying to score. In the bottom of the inning, Foot doubled to left with one out scoring Wiggins and Brayden Williams.

One out later Young doubled to center scoring Foot and Young scored the inning's fourth, and final, run on a single by Burroughs.

Morgan Stock's fourth inning double scored Sydney Bateman with the Lady Hornets' last run of the game and stretched the

1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe. 2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. 3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. 4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ,

the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. 16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. 17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you

often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. 1 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved. 2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord. 3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life. 4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. 5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication

with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. 10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

14

Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.

15 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.

16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. 17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. 18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. 19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 20 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever.

Amen. 21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you. 22 All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household. 23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. (To the Philippians written from Rome, by Epaphroditus.)
