Treasurer Natasha Richards read the reports showing the final legal ending balance for 2022-2023 was $852,787.65. The 20232024 preliminary legal balance begins with $852,787.65, adding a projected $6,563,049.65, minus projected expenditures of $6,499,185.88, leaving a projected ending balance of $916,651.42.

Superintendent Dr. Marc Sherrell, High School Principal B. J. Paschal, Elementary Principal Cheryl Holland, and Board Members Brent Calhoun, Jordan Smith, Billy Hinson, Charlie Brown, T.J. English, Drew Widener and Johnny Reidhar were present. The board approved the purchase of a new digital sign to replace the nonworking one in front of the high school.

Superintendent Sherrell provided quotes from Rainey signs for $43,000 and Cupples signs for $40,522. He said that insurance will pay $30,000 and the Des Arc PEP Club has offered to pay the difference. A motion was passed to purchase the sign from Cupples.

Superintendent Sherrell reported that the current enrollment for Pre-K through 12th grade is 647. He said he was very happy to report that the

Kami Perry won the NSDAR essay contest. In the Youth Entrepreneur Showcase, the junior high team scored in the top 25 business plans. The G/T students have begun the Stock Market Game this fall and there are several competitions that they will participate in this school year.

In regular business, the board approved the recommendation to transfer $233,803.07 from the operating fund to the building fund and also agreed to continue CIPA internet filtering with Securly, which is provided by K12ITC.

Susan Booth gave the PPC report, and Amy Marek reported that there will be PEER teacher leaders in the schools this year. She told the board that high school students now must do 75 hours of community service to graduate. The students have four years to accumulate these hours. Marek also said that reading and math

free/reduced lunch rate has reached 70.1% which means that state funds will increase from $500 to $1,000 per student. Sherrell told the board that hopefully the water leak, that has been causing such a large water bill, has been found in the girl’s locker room. He said that until it can be repaired the water will be turned on at 7:00am and off at 1:00pm to help reduce usage.

Elementary Principal

Cheryl Holland reported that 32 students have been recommended for after school tutoring which will begin October 2nd. Holland also said how thankful she is for the high school students who have been volunteering in the parking lot, library, and classrooms.

Special meeting

Tuesday, Sept. 26

The Hazen School Board met in a special meeting on Tuesday,September 26,

to approve the 2023-24 operating and federal funding budgets. The board also approved the new 9th grade Community Service Plan mandated this year by the Arkansas LEARNS Act. The AR LEARNS Act states that all students must acquire 75 hours of community service as part of their graduation requirements beginning with the 2023-24 ninth grade class. The school will provide for some of the service-learning projects, but the students can initiate their own projects if they choose. Student-chosen projects must be approved by the high school, and students must get permission forms for off-campus activities which must be verified by the person who oversaw their service hours. “We need to provide opportunities for our kids,” High School Principal Amy Marek said. Some students will be helping at the senior center on October 6, and some 9th graders will help at the nursing home in Hazen. Volunteer hours can also be done in the summer

months. Parents and/or guardians are responsible for ensuring that the volunteer work is safe and must give their permission for the projects in which their student participates. If students don’t get the 75 hours of community service, they will not graduate.

The district’s teacher salary expenditures for 2023-24 will increase by approximately $200,000 plus an approximate $100,000 in benefits.

The classified salaries will increase by about $50,000 plus another increase of $4500 in benefits. According to CFO Sarah Snider, the LEARNS Act will cost the district approximately $30,000.

The district is also attempting to get more families to fill out free and reduced lunch forms. If the district can move from the present number of 68% free and reduced lunch students to 70%, the state funding will increase to the district $1000 of funding per student as opposed to $500 received by schools with less than 70%.

David Patrick Cook

David Patrick Cook, 75, of Hazen, was called home on September 24, 2023, surrounded by his loved ones. Pat was born in Linz, Austria, on December 4th, 1947, to Dave Lewis and Helen Cook. When Pat was nine months old, he and his parents docked at Ellis Island, New York and eventually found their home in Hazen.

Pat attended the Hazen School District and was a member of the 1965 graduating class. During high school, he met the love of his life, Carolyn Sue Tompkins, and they were married in 1966. Soon thereafter, he was drafted into the US Navy and served in the Vietnam War. After returning from the war, Pat soon found himself outnumbered in his household. They welcomed three beautiful baby girls into their home, and although life was hectic at times, he managed to spoil them all. Pat worked several jobs but found his home at Riceland Foods where

he met and worked with lifelong friends. After 42 years and at the age of 70, Pat retired from Riceland Foods as a construction superintendent. Pat loved to hunt and fish, and he spent as much time outdoors as possible. He and Carolyn loved to travel, and after his retirement, they did just that. From cruises, to beaches, to many, many trips to their cabin in Branson, Pat and Carolyn enjoyed their time exploring together and were often accompanied by their children and grandchildren. Pat loved many things in this world, but being a Pawpaw might have been his favorite.

He never missed a school or sporting event that any of his grandchildren participated in, no matter how far away they may have been. Pat also enjoyed having all of his babies over for a cookout, and no matter if he was grilling, or frying, or refereeing one of the many backyard ballgames, he was truly the happiest while he was catering to his family.

Pat is survived by his wife of 57 years and best friend, Carolyn Cook; his three daughters, Regina (Freddie)

Ibbotson, Tracie (Billy) Harrison, and Angie (Davy) Williams; his grandchildren, BJ (Chelsey) Harrison, Josh Harrison, Taylor (Paige) Ibbotson, Parker Ibbotson, Bryce (Elaina) Sims, Brenon (Abby) Williams, Brayden Williams, and Brance Williams; his greatgrandchildren, Maeve and Bishop Harrison, Ellie Kate Ibbotson, Eden and Garner Sims, and Palmer Williams; and his niece Carie Cook. He is preceded in death by parents Dave Lewis and Helen Cook; his brother and sisterin-law Gary and Cathy Cook; and his niece Kim Cook-Warner. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Hazen Booster Club, PO Box 463, Hazen, Arkansas 72064. The family appreciates the love and support during this time.

Visitation and Celebration of Life was held at the Westbrook Chapel, 115 North Livermore St., Hazen, Arkansas 72064. Visitation- 1:00 p.m. / Celebration of Life- 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 28th, 2023.

By Judi Jones

On Sunday, September 17, at 4:00 p.m., the bells of Biscoe First Baptist Church rang out to honor and remember the drafting and signing of the US Constitution on that day in 1787. The bells rang for one minute to re-enact the original ringing of town and church bells which served to gather townspeople to hear the first reading of their new Constitution 236 years ago. This event was part of the national Bells Across America observance which is enacted in thousands of towns and cities across our nation and marks the beginning of Constitution Week each year. Hazen, DeValls Bluff, and Carlisle, as well as other towns across the Grand Prairie, observed Constitution Week 2023 in the mayors’ offices, schools, and libraries on Monday and Tuesday, Sept 17 and 18. In Hazen, Mayor David Hardke signed the

Constitution Week Proclamation in his office to start the day's activities.

Then Judi Jones, Grand Prairie DAR Constitution Week cochair, headed to Hazen High School where she met with the Student Council members. The officers and members had worked to create a Constitution Week bulletin board. For their efforts, they received the DAR Certificate of Award in recognition of the student council's outstanding work in upholding and promoting the ideals of the US Constitution. Judi then presented each member a copy of the Constitution and the group then recited the Preamble together. Mrs. Marek received a copy of the Preamble suitable for framing for her office from GPDAR and Jones.

Judi then went to Hazen Elementary and spoke for a few minutes on the origin of the Constitution to Mr.

Brady Delp's social studies 6th grade students. Each student received a Preamble pencil and they read the Preamble together. Mr. Delp was also presented with a Preamble poster for his classroom.

Earlier that morning, Judi had met with DeValls Bluff Mayor Thelma Gray for a signing of the Constitution Week proclamation in her office.

In Carlisle, Grand Prairie DAR Constitution Week cochair Cheryl Vickers met with Carlisle Mayor Ray Glover as he signed the Constitution Week Proclamation for that city.

The DAR initiated Constitution Week when they petitioned Congress in 1955 to set aside the week of September 1723 of each year to commemorate the event. Congress adopted their petition and President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed it into public law in 1956.

“It was good,” Hazen coach Joe Besancon said. “You always worry about homecoming week because you hope that the boys are focused. I preached to them all week that homecoming is for the girls and the alumni. Our job is to go out there and win the football game Friday night. I was real pleased

with their effort. We came out and played really well.

“It’s always nice to get another win.” Hazen travels to England on Friday night. The Lions are 3-2 on the season, coming off a 49-36 loss to Class 3A Quitman.

“They are very athletic,” Besancon said.

“They’ve got decent size. England always has athletic kids that can hurt you. If they get out in open space, they can run. They’ve got a running back who is like a bowling ball.”

Kickoff at Gaylon Gibbs Field is set for 7 p.m.

ASU announces graduates

Arkansas State University has announced the list of students who completed degree requirements to graduate at Spring Commencement, held Aug. 12 in First National Bank Arena. The list includes graduates from 41 states and

five countries.

Chancellor Todd Shields presented diplomas at the associate, bachelor, master, specialist and doctoral levels, along with various program certificates, as awarded through the various colleges: Agriculture, Neil Griffin College of

Business, Education and Behavioral Science, Engineering and Computer Science, Liberal Arts and Communication, Nursing and Health Professions, Sciences and Mathematics, and University College.

Local students among the graduates were:

Carlisle: Logan Vance Bowlan, Bachelor of Science, Psychology Des Arc: Kayci Lane Kellar, Bachelor of Science, Exercise Science, Cum Laude Stuttgart: Christa Caroline Tiner, Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Nursing.

“It was fun to watch,” Carlisle coach Gary Wilson said. “I thought we were super balanced. I thought that we showed off some guys who can make big plays, can take a short pass and go 50 or 60 yards.”

Six different receivers caught passes for the Bison, led by Kaiden Clingmon, who caught four for 99 yards and a touchdown. Gavin Davis caught two passes for 48 yards and a touchdown. Deven Cooney also caught a pass for a score.

“I think our guys are getting a little more comfortable every day with what we’re asking them to do,” Wilson said of running the spread offense this season.

“Spread guys get to grow up in the spread offense. We’re asking our guys to go from the Wing T to the spread in one year. I think they are picking up on things pretty quickly.”

Kayleb Elliott led the Bison in rushing with 59 yards on nine carries. He and Jaden Elliot both scored rushing touchdowns.

Gabe Boyle led the Bison with 13 tackles.

Preston Parker intercepted three Episcopal passes.

Carlisle has the week off this Friday before playing at Hampton on Oct. 13.

“I think we’re in real good shape, health wise, right now,” Wilson said.

“I know our guys have worked their butts off. With the tough games they’ve played this year, I think they’ve earned a week to get all the way healed up for the stretch run.”

It was a tale of two halves for the Des Arc Eagles.

Leading only 28-16 at halftime, Des Arc outscored Marianna 300 in the second half to beat the Trojans 58-16 at Hinson Rollins Field. With the win, the Eagles are 4-1 on the season.

“We didn’t play well and they hit us on a big play right before half,” Des Arc coach Brandon Barbaree said. “It was homecoming, and we were playing team that had been struggling.

Our kids did not have the fire and intensity early that it takes to finish teams like that. Marianna had some confidence, but our kids did come on and finish the game the way we’re supposed to.”

Walker Harris led the Eagles with 90 yards rushing and a touchdown on four carries. He also scored a two-point conversion. Dayvion Bell had 87 yards rushing. He also scored two touchdowns and two

two-point conversions. Cache Flanagan had a touchdown and two twopoint conversions. Cane Childers and Cole Eldridge each scored rushing touchdowns.

Hayden Brown caught a 38-yard touchdown pass from Flanagan. He also returned an interception 90 yards for a score.

Des Arc plays at Marked Tree this Friday. The Indians are 4-0 overall and 2-0 in league play.

“They are fast, fast, fast,” Barbaree said. “Their quarterback will give us some problems. Our philosophy — if we’re physical and do our thing, we’ll be fine.”

Headed to state...

Congratulations to Sam Clayton, who qualified for the 2A State Golf Tournament! Sam will be competing on October 4.
