26th Annual ‘Don’t Eat Home Alone’ outreach meal to be held Nov. 22 The Covenant of Life Family Church will be holding the 26th Annual “Don’t Eat Home Alone” community outreach meal on Thanksgiving Day, Thurs., Nov. 22. The meal is prepared for those who may not have family locally or don’t want to eat home alone. Meals will be delivered to shut-ins only. If you plan to attend the event contact the church before Mon., Nov. 19 at 479-394-6763 or 479-2167058.

If a ride is needed to the church, located at 1101 Pine Ave. in Mena (across from the movie theater on the corner of 11th and Pine), call the church to let them know. “Don’t Eat Home Alone” was started by the Pastor who was invited to someone’s home the first Thanksgiving he was in Mena. Later he thought what about other people that may not have family to eat with, and that was the start of the “Don’t Eat Home Alone” program.

A couple of years later the Pastor thought about those that may not be able to get out of their homes. The church then began delivering meals to shut-ins, and those who may have been in the hospital and unable to cook. They also began to provide transportation for those that were unable to make it to the meal. The event not only provides food, but also fellowship during a time of year that can be lonely and frustrating to some.

Commodities to be distributed Commodities will be issued to eligible households at the Polk County Fairgrounds by ARVAC, Inc. on Fri., Nov. 16 from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Applicants need to bring total household income, number in household and a social security card. Anyone that has a “Blue Card” must bring it in order to receive commodities. Commodities may not be picked up for more than two households and it is asked that you do not arrive more than 10 minutes before time to pick up commodities. Rules for acceptance and participation in the program are the same for everyone without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, age, sex or handicap. Any questions may be directed to the Polk County ARVAC office located at 606 Pine Ave. in Mena or by calling 479-394-4707 Mon.-Fri. from 8 a.m.-2:30 p.m. The following are income guidelines, family size and monthly income (Add $468 for each additional family member.): Family size-1; Monthly income-$1,316; Family size-2; Monthly income-$1,784; Family size-3; Monthly income-$2,252; Family size-4; Monthly income-$2,720; Family size-5; Monthly income-$3,188; Family size-6; Monthly income-$3,656; Family size-7; Monthly income-$4,124; Family size-8; Monthly income-$4,592.

UARM first and only Arkansas public college to offer massage therapy The Arkansas Department of Higher Education (ADHE) has officially approved a new massage therapy program to begin in January 2019 at UA Rich Mountain, making the local college the first and only Arkansas public college to offer such program. Dr. Maria Markham, Director of ADHE stated, “Part of the mission of Arkansas community colleges is to be responsive to industry and economic needs. I applaud UA Rich Mountain’s creation of a program in response to regional demand. Massage therapy is being recommended by physicians for its many wellness benefits and being the first public higher education institution in the state to offer this program shows the dedication

UA Rich Mountain has to not only students but also the health of the community.” Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs Dr. Krystal Thrailkill, who has worked extensively advocating for the new program the last year, explained that the program will save students almost two-thirds of the cost of a private program and financial aid will be available to qualified students. Massage therapy is manual manipulation of soft body tissues (muscle, connective tissue, tendons and ligaments) to enhance a person's health and well-being. There are dozens of types of massage therapy methods (also called modalities). In Arkansas, the average medi-

an income for a licensed massage therapist is just over $45,000. The program hours will be Monday – Thursday from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. and will be housed within the UA Rich Mountain Cosmetology facility currently located inside the Northside Shopping Center. Minor modifications were made to the cosmetology facility to accommodate the additional program. The instructor for the massage therapy program will be Tammy Parnell, a licensed master massage therapist certified in medical massage. UA Rich Mountain Chancellor Dr. Phillip Wilson said this is another example of the college’s responsiveness to interests in the community, “The public’s input on our programs is critical to us and we appreciate hearing from them. The new massage therapy program is an excellent example that we are willing to pave new roads in the realm of higher education to make it available to our students. New

programs don’t happen overnight but when we know there is a high enough interest, we work diligently to make those happen. We are in the early stages of developing a criminal justice program so we encourage you to always communicate your interests with our staff throughout the communities we serve. Your feedback is important to our mission.” Registration will open November 12 and financial aid will be available to qualified applicants. There are only 15 slots available for the program so interested students are encouraged to apply online at UARichMountain.edu, text RICHMTN to 34166, or contact Dr. Thrailkill at kthrailkill@uarichmountain.edu or calling 479-394-7622 ext. 1300. Chancellor Dr. Phillip Wilson said the college is committed to being responsive to the needs and interests of the community and is continuously working to develop additional programs.

UA RICH MOUNTAIN TO HOST AUTHOR TALK AND BOOK SIGNING UA Rich Mountain is pleased to announce its next author talk & book signing will feature Elizabeth Griffin Hill, who is an independent researcher and writer specializing the history of Arkansas women. Her newest book, Faithful to Our Tasks: Arkansas’s Women and the Great War, provides the context for women’s actions and reactions during World War I. The United States was a vital, if brief, participant in the Great War, spending only 18 months fighting in World War I. But that short span marked an era of tremendous change for women as they moved out of the Victorian 19th century and came into their own as social activists during the early years of the 20th century. 1200 Pine St.

Hill superbly incorporates the mitigating factors and experiences of American women in general and compares Arkansas women’s Progressive Era actions with those of other southern women. The contextual underpinnings provide a rich tapestry as we attempt to understand our grandmothers and great-grandmothers’ responses to wartime needs. Primary records of the World War I era, accessed in archives in central Arkansas, reveal that the state’s organized women were suddenly faced with a devastating world war for which they were expected to make a significant contribution of time and effort. “Club women” were already tackling myriad problems to be found in abundance within a

ernments stood up and took notice. After the war, these same organized women won the right to vote. Elizabeth Griffin Hill is an experienced author, holding a Master of Arts degree in rhetoric and writing, also penning A Splendid Piece of Work, a history of Arkansas’s home demonstration and Extension Homemakers clubs. She will be speaking on Monday, November 12, beginning at noon in the Ouachita Center of the UA Rich Mountain campus. The event is free and is open to all members of the community.

poor, rural state as they worked for better schools, a centralized education system, children’s well-being, and improved medical care. Under wartime conditions, their contributions were magnified as the women followed a barrage of directions from Washington, DC, within a disconcerting display of micromanagement by the federal government. The important takeaway, however, is that the Great War created a scenario in which Arkansas’s organized women – as well as women throughout the nation – would step forward and excel as men and gov-

Reflections From Faith and History Veterans Day-By Jeff Olson One of our country's most important days of special recognition is Veterans Day, November 11. Today, as our nation faces a multitude of changes which more than threaten to dismantle much of her fundamental character, it has never been more necessary to pause and remember a very important part of that character which is unchanging - our Veterans. On November 11th, 1921, an unknown American soldier from World War I was buried in Arlington National Cemetery in recognition of WWI veterans and in conjunction with the timing of cessation of hostilities at 11 a.m., November 11, 1918 (the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month). President Warren Harding requested that: "All....citizens....indulge in a period of silent thanks to God for these...valorous lives and of supplication for His Divine mercy....on our beloved country." Inscribed on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier are the words: "Here lies in honored glory an American soldier known but to God." As we observe the 100th anniversary of the origin of Veterans Day and as we look forward to each new day that freedom unfolds, let us also look back, learn, and emulate the ideals that motivated those soldiers, airmen, sailors, and others: life and liberty, principle and truth; peace and prosperity; service and sacrifice. And those virtues which characterized them: courage, selflessness, honor, integrity, and love. Freedom, however, cannot be preserved by our veterans alone.

Vigilance is still the price of liberty, and it will always come down to the age-old battle on the home front of good versus evil. It starts and ends with the individual citizen: the fireman; the police officer; the teacher; the mechanic; the business man/ woman; living, loving, and working within family and community in concert together on a foundation of core American values. Here we can and must be unified as patriots with the will and resolve to know America's history and heritage and to hold our leaders to the highest standard of service and accountability that God and our Constitution require. Liberty is not a gift; it is a legacy to be preserved and a decision made by each of us every day in choosing: personal responsibility over personal autonomy; self-government over self-gratification; freedom over license; initiative and self-reliance over servitude. The value and dignity of man in the eyes of God and his capacity for faith and reason have been the foundation for how George Washington described America as an experiment in "ordered liberty." In his words, "To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.” John Stuart Mill stated: “War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety -See History, continued pg. 6

-History, from pg. 5 is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” May we thank God for those veterans of yesterday, today, and tomorrow who have stood and will continue to stand at freedom's

gate, hoping for peace but prepared for war. And, may we also take the time to personally thank our veterans, not just during this special time but year around. Shall we join them by doing our part in preserving the country they have loved, lived, fought, and died for.

BEARCATS TO HOST GENTRY IN FIRST ROUND OF 4A PLAYOFFS

By Easton Leonard Last Friday, November 2nd, the Mena Bearcats (7-3, 5-2) senior high football team hosted the Dardanelle Sand Lizards (8-2, 5-2) for Senior Night at Bearcats Stadium. Dardanelle won the coin toss and chose to receive the ball to begin the game, however the Sand Lizards offense had to luck on their first possession, forcing a kick to give the Mena the ball at their own nineteen yard line. Just a couple of plays later, Zane Stephens completed an 8 yard touchdown pass to Nick Linch, to get Mena on the board first. Following a failed point-after-attempt, the Bearcats led 6-0 with 6:33 left in the first quarter. On Mena’s next offensive possession,

the Bearcats threw an interception deep in Dardanelle territory, to give the Sand Lizards the ball back at their own two yard line. Two plays later, a Dardanelle fumble was recovered in the end zone for a touchdown by Jayden Castillo. The Bearcats two-point conversion try was no good, extending Mena’s lead to 12-0 with under one minute to play in the first quarter. Devan Adams recorded two interceptions on the Sand Lizards next two possession, before Dardanelle scored on a short touchdown run by their quarterback with 6.2 seconds left in the first half of play. Heading into halftime, the Bearcats led Dardanelle by five, 12-7. The Bearcats scored on a 30 yard touchdown pass from Stephens to Linch to begin

the second half of play. Mena converted it’s two-point try, to make the score 20-7 with 9:17 left to play in the third. Dardanelle answered right by with a six yard touchdown run by their quarterback, shrinking the Bearcats lead to six, 20-14, with 7:07 left in the third quarter. Neither Dardanelle or the Bearcats had any luck on their next two possessions, before Mena scored on a one yard touchdown run by Zane Stephens with 10:45 left in fourth. The Bearcats converted their twopoint try, to make the eventual final score 28-14. Max Montgomery led the Bearcats in passing, with 194 yards on fourteen completions, while Zane Stephens completed two passes for 38 yards and two touchdowns. Andrew Graves led Mena with 195 rushing yards, as Zane Stephens recorded 59 yards on eleven carries with one touchdown, Jake Wiles 22 yards on four carries, Nick Linch 11 yards on two carries, and Max Montgomery 9 yards on two carries.

ACORN’S NEUFELD OVERALL CHAMPION AT STATE CROSS COUNTRY MEET Acorn Sr. Boys and Girls competed in the State Cross Country Championships last Friday, Nov. 2nd at Oaklawn in Hot Springs. In the Sr. Boys division Acorn’s Freshman Justice Neufeld was the overall champion, outpacing the large field of 225 runners. Justice ran over the rain-soaked course to take first in 18:06.6. Justice paced himself for the first 2 miles and put himself in position to make a run at the top three favorites for the victory. With just a little under 800 yards to go, Justice took the lead, increasing his lead with every stride and claimed his first State Championship. Neufeld was named All State and has been invited to run at the Annual Arkansas-Oklahoma All Star Cross Country Meet to be held in Rodgers, Ar. Sat. Nov. 10th. Brady Lyle was 15th overall and was

also All State. Finishing 3rd for Acorn was Matthew Chaney, followed by Chad Sutton, Jacob Cottman, Raymond Hannaman, Brian Kha, and Trysten Richey. “ Justice ran a perfect race for the conditions and the type of course at Oaklawn. He stayed off the early super fast start but kept close to the front to keep his challengers in sight. As the front-runners began to fall back after their hard pace, Justice began to move up and caught the top three runners. As one fell back, he launched his final effort and took the lead and held it to the finish,” said Coach Willsey. His victory really finished off another good season for Acorn Cross Country. With top finishes at Magazine, Conference titles, and now a State Champion runner. The future looks good. Acorn also won the

Jr. Boys Conference and will look to move up some younger runners and make a run at the title next year. Acorn finished 6th as a team out of a field of 25. For the Acorn Sr. girls, Ashlynn Bissell paced the Lady Tigers to an 8th place finish in the team race, with a 13th place finish. Bissell was named All State for her efforts. Kendra Branson was 2nd for Acorn followed by Kimberly Strasner, Alyssa Warren, Makenna Goss, and Amelia Still respectively. The Acorn Sr. girls finish the season with a runner up finish @ Magazine and a Conference Title. The Lady Tigers will return all finishers and also have some young runners capable of contributing next year. Submitted article

State Capitol Week in Review: From Senator Larry Teague LITTLE ROCK – Arkansas has 1,034 public schools and each one recently received a letter grade, from A to F, to give parents an easy method of evaluating them. The release of school report cards usually occurs in April, and it creates quite a bit of discussion among principals, administrators, elected officials and of course, parents. This year, the state Education Department worked with extra diligence to produce the report card six months earlier than usual. One reason was that school staff had requested more timely reports, so that they could more quickly use the information in the report cards to improve their schools. Failing schools can apply for support from state and federal sources, and the sooner they apply the sooner their students will reap the benefits of added resources. They can use the information in the reports to improve this school year, and not have to wait until next year. This year, the number of schools that received an A grade fell from 163 to 152. However, the number

of schools that got a D grade also dropped, from 170 to 145. The number of failing schools that got an F increased from 33 in the 2016-2017 school year to 44 in the 2017-2018 school year. Both this year and last year, a little more than a third of all Arkansas schools received a C grade. Last year 384 got a C and this year 380 got a C. The number of schools receiving a B went up strongly, from 290 to 313. The letter grades are based on numerous factors, including standardized test scores, student attendance, graduation rates and the proportion of students who read at their grade level. The school report cards were released at the same time as a much more complex indicator of school success, the ESSA Index. ESSA stands for the Every Student Succeeds Act, a 2015 federal law that took the place of controversial federal education standards known as the No Child Left Behind Act. Under the old federal standards,

consistently getting low grades meant that a school could be penalized. Schools that received low grades will not be penalized, the state Education Commissioner said. They will be offered extra help from the state Education Department. The most recent ESSA School Index and school report card can both be found online at the Education Department’s My School Info page. It is at this web address: https:// myschoolinfo.arkansas.gov/ You can find the page with an Internet search engine, such as Google, Yahoo and Bing, by typing i

Weekly Publication My School Info and Arkansas. The web page has search features so that you can look up specific reports for your children’s school. It also has instructional videos, on the right side of the page under a headline of “What’s New.” One of the videos will show you how to navigate the numerous links on the Education Department website that contain reports and comparisons. The legislature approved Act 696 in 2013 to direct the Education Department to begin issuing school report cards, to make it easier for parents to evaluate their children’s schools. The first report cards were for the 2014-2015 school year.
