Public Notice
Have you seen signs of the Christmas Spirit around town? Several of our area businesses and homes around town already have beautiful Christmas decorations up. Whether it is lights on a storefront, a wreath on a door, or a glistening Christmas tree in a window, there is just something about a small town at Christmastime that makes even the lifelong residents of a big city a bit jealous. The Hazen Chamber of Commerce wants you to catch the Spirit of Christmas by making
plans to attend Christmas in the Park, on Saturday, December 10th, from 5:30 to 7:30. The whole community is invited to come out to the gazebo in the center of town and enjoy luminaries, hot chocolate, roasted marshmallows, Christmas carols, and pictures with Santa Claus and the Gingerbread Man! Memorial luminaries are being sold and must be purchased by December 9th. For only $1.00, you can buy a special memorial luminary that will be printed with the name of your loved
one. We still need volunteers to help. We welcome individuals or groups who would like to lead or help with one of the activities. We also welcome anyone who would like to sing Christmas carols – school groups, church choirs, children’s choirs, or just individuals who like to sing or play music! If you are interested in helping, singing, or purchasing a memorial luminary, please contact Dee Hare at 255-3523 or Dee Black at 255-3551.
The DeValls Bluff City Council held their monthly meeting on November 11 at 6:00 p.m. The meeting began with a prayer and roll call before the previous months minutes were approved. The bills for the month were approved, and there was no old business to attend to. Treasurer Thelma Gray reported that the city audit had been received by the State and that there were no violations. City Attorney Mike Stuart then informed the City Council about the email he received from Mayor Kenny Anderson in late October stating that he would be resigning on November 8. On November 8, the day stated in the mayor’s
email, Stuart received another email from Mayor Anderson withdrawing his resignation. Due to the withdrawal of the resignation being on the day of proposed resignation, the Council proposed a motion as to whether or not they would accept the withdrawal. Three council members voted not to accept the withdrawl, while one voted in favor, and one council member abstained from voting. Police Chief Charles Atkins then handed out the the police departments report and introduced new part time officer Jonathan Warwick to the City Council. After introductions were made the meeting was adjourned.

removed from the front of City hall and the word Christmas switched to Happy Holidays on all signs. Fifty years of tradition are now challenged not by an outsider but a former member of the community. As the conflict escalates it goes beyond one person's opinion but magnifies into an entire town problem when Mitch enters into the mayoral race to have Dan replaced. In the heat of the legal battle and facing certain defeat, Dan's wife Kristen (Nancy Stafford) and their daughter Makayla (Francesca Derosa) wanting to show, what she believes to be, the true meaning of Christmas are inspired to launch a "Christmas with a Capital C" campaign as an effort to keep the town together. In doing so they discover the secret behind Mitch's return. He is looking for love and acceptance but can't find it in the world of highflown success. Movie is showed at DeValls Bluff Community Center 710 E Sycamore St, DeValls Bluff

Legal Notice
In recent days most of us have found that we have much to be thankful for. For those fortunate enough to be surrounded by family and friends to celebrate the holiday it’s very easy to recognize and appreciate our blessings.
Pursuant to the provisions of Act 364 of 2013
This particular holiday I feel doubly blessed because while enjoying a great time of fellowship with family members I’m thinking of all the wonderful people who supported my election to the office of Prairie County Circuit/County Clerk. In addition to heartfelt gratitude I feel honored and humbled. I’m looking forward to the challenge and the opportunity to provide all residents of Prairie County the very best service possible from the clerk’s office. Thank you hardly expresses my feelings and I want everyone to know that if you ever have a problem that the clerk’s office can help you with; you will find us ready and eager to lend a hand.
May God bless you and your family and keep them safe as we celebrate Christmas and The New Year.
Christmas has always been an exceptional time of love and tradition in the small town of Trapper Falls, Alaska. Hometown of Mayor Dan Reed (Ted McGinley) looks forward to each year with enthusiasm to all the events, friends and family that fill this special season. Together with his brother Greg (Brad Stine), they dedicate time away from their adventure tour company to drape the town is Christmas cheer. When Dan's old high school rival Mitch Bright (Daniel Baldwin), a mean-spirited and embittered militant atheist returns home after 20 years, Dan is immediately suspicious. Mitch is a highly successful big city lawyer who has never wanted anything to do with Trapper Falls. The rivalry re-ignites when the frustrated Mitch takes offense to what he sees as the town's violation of his rights. Mitch wants the Nativity scene

“Prairie County Master Gardener of the Year” Elected During Club Meeting
Linda Price, Master Gardener of the Year of PCMG By Chris Weems Linda Price was elected “Prairie County Master Gardener of the year” at the regular meeting of PCMG at BancorpSouth, November 15. Janet Turnage, president, presided with 15 members present. Linda worked regularly at Rhodes Park in DeVallsBluff, plus working in Hazen Park. She watered the plants and trimmed and weeded them as needed. “Linda furnished most of the materials for the :Gardening in the Grand
Prairie,” the fundraiser for the Club in June, the president said. She also said that Linda helped with most of the projects sanctioned by the Club. Sue Clayton was named “Rookie of the Year.” Sue, Larenda Dunlap and Keith Robinson received their training in April when Lonoke and Prairie Counties combined to offer the program.” Keith and Larenda both work full-time, and even though they have worked on several projects, they were not able to complete the hours
that Sue did to receive the title. Hazen True Value was voted the PCMG “Business of the Year” because of the support and help given the Club throughout the year. Each of these members and the business will be entered in the Master Gardeners’ State contest for recognition. The credentials are to be entered by January 15, 2017. The members finished plans for the Christmas party. The party will be at 5:00 p.m. Thursday. December 20. The group will meet at 3:45 in front of BancorpSouth to carpool to Little Rock for the party. The president discussed the levels of achievement for lifetime members (15-year members). PCMG’s have five lifetime members who are continuing activities in the Club: Sherry Bullock, Idena Greenwalt, Carolyn Marek, Patsy McMullen and Chris Weems. The next meeting will be Tuesday, January 17, 2017, at BancorpSouth, at 6:00p.m.
State Capitol Week in Review From Senator Jonathan Dismang Adding 228 employees is one of several strategies proposed by the Division of Children and Family Services to improve the state’s child welfare system, which division officials say is in crisis. In a recent report, the Division outlined several problems and proposed solutions. High employee turnover, high caseloads and lack of experienced staff were factors in most of the critical areas. The governor’s proposed budget would add 228 employees to the Division. Lawmakers are currently reviewing his proposals in legislative budget hearings, and they will make a final decision on spending requests during the 2017 regular session that begins in January. Other proposals include streamlining the process of recruiting and training relatives so they can become foster parents. This has been a very controversial issue at the Capitol and Division officials have appeared before legislative committees to explain policies about placement of children with relatives. According to its report, the Division has reviewed policies on placement of children with relatives to determine if any obstacles need to be removed, in response to “the judicial and staff decisions that have been widely discussed in news reports and legislative committee meetings…” The goal is to reach the national average rate of foster children placed with relatives, which is 29 percent. In Arkansas it is 25 percent. The national standard
for family service workers is for their caseloads to average about 15 cases per worker. In Arkansas the average caseload is 28, and the consequences are felt throughout the child welfare system. For example, high caseloads mean that Division staff cannot conduct home visits as often as they should. The result is longer stays of foster children away from their parents, and longer stays in foster care, in group homes or in emergency shelters. The report emphasized the need for additional drug treatment services for parents. Last year 52 percent of the children in foster care in Arkansas were taken in because of drug abuse by their parents. Policy changes are needed so parents with drug problems can be eligible for Medicaid-funded treatment. Only pregnant women and teenagers now qualify for drug treatment services, which are expensive. Of the 228 new employees that the Division and the governor propose to hire, 150 would be family services workers, 18 would be supervisors and 60 would be assistants to help with transportation and clerical duties such as making photocopies.
Currently, the lack of personnel not only increases caseloads for family services workers, it also means that they spend too much time on administrative chores when their time would be better spent working with families. In most of Arkansas the turnover rate for family services workers is 32 percent. The average experience level of family services workers in Arkansas of is 1.8 years. The Division wants to reduce the need for current staff to work so much overtime because it is causing burnout. If it adds staff, the Division will create an entire second shift of family services workers to be on call at night, weekends and holidays. The recommendations in the Division’s report are meant to decrease the period of time that children in foster care must spend away from their families. Foster care for some children is a shortterm solution when services such as drug treatment and health care are available for parents.
“DashBoard” Governor Hutchinson’s Weekly Column From Governor Asa Hutchinson In 1621, the first Thanksgiving was held in Plymouth Colony between the Mayflower Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians. Historically, the first Thanksgiving was not the feast we enjoy today. Rather, it was a time when the Native Americans and European settlers gathered together to give thanks. They were thankful for their bountiful harvest, the abundance of wild game and for fellowship. It wasn’t just a celebration – it was a joyful outpouring of gratitude for their many blessings. The first Thanksgiving came after a hard year. During their first winter, more than half of the English settlers died, largely because of harsh weather and poor nutrition. These struggles followed a perilous 66-day voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. The Pilgrims had left their homes and their lives for one thing – freedom against religious persecution. William Bradford, a
member of the Mayflower expedition, who was elected as Plymouth Colony’s second governor, kept a record of the journey across the Atlantic. Upon landing at Plymouth Harbor, he writes about his fellow travelers: “Being thus arrived in a good harbor and brought safe to land, they fell upon their knees and blessed the God of heaven, who had brought them over the vast and furious ocean, and delivered them from all the perils and miseries thereof.” After enduring more than two months of rough seas, stale food, cramped living quarters and seasickness, they gave thanks. This year, as we celebrate another Thanksgiving in our great country, Arkansans, and all Americans, have much to be grateful for. We are so blessed to be part of this place and time in history – our history. Just as the Mayflower Pilgrims gave thanks when they reached the shore and celebrated our
country’s f i r s t Thanksgiving, we too should give thanks for the blessings we enjoy today. Thanksgiving teaches us to count our blessings in trying circumstances, and to find joy during the struggles and hardships of present day, both locally and nationally. It’s a day for Americans to realize how fortunate we are as a nation and to be grateful for our country’s brave heroes from the time of our inception to present day. My favorite author, Henry Van Dyke, once said, “Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.” As you gather together with your loved ones, remember to show your gratitude for friends, family, food and fellowship. Yes, here in Arkansas, we are truly blessed.
