Open House for public at new Prairie County Jail Monday, Dec. 7; Lunch with hamburgers and hot dogs Prairie County Judge Mike Skarda and Sheriff Gary Burnett announce an Open House and tour of the new Prairie County Jail in Des Arc this Monday, December 7.

The facility will be open to the public, along with a lunch of hamburgers and hot dogs directly in front of the Court House,

at 11:00 am. Judge Skarda advises that State Representative David Hillman and Senator Jonathan Dismang have been invited to attend the event.

Tracy Crider Cochran was the youngest alumni in attendance. Barbara Eoff Livesay was in attendance and holds an enviable record of never missing a meeting since its beginning in 1955.

School Board accepts two resignations Approves bonus for teachers The first item of business for the Des Arc School Board at the regular monthly meeting Monday evening was to deny the transfer of a student from Des Arc to another school district. The board accepted the resignations of high school teachers, Ramona Holloway and Jennifer Lefevre, effective 12/18/2015. The board voted to employ Kathryn Gracie as secondary English teacher, effective 1/4/2016. Unanimous approval of the resolution for local support of the 2016 Master Plan and the 2017-2019 Funding Cycle Partnership Program Application was

given. After discussion, a unanimous vote approved extra pay provision of $500.00 for space camp sponsors. Board members approved a bonus for current faculty and staff of the Des Arc School District, with the condition that the bonus would be pending approval from the Arkansas Department of Education. Board members present were Johnny Reidhar, Charlie Brown, Billy Hinson, Eric Kennedy, Kent Childers and Sylvester.Holloway. Supt. Nick Hill and Elementary Principal Dena Hooks were also present along with guest Jonathan McMullen.

James Hamric enters race for county sheriff After much consideration and support, James Hamric is announcing his candidacy in the Democratic Primary for Prairie County Sheriff. A Hickory Plains native and a 1991 graduate of Des Arc High School, Hamric said, “Being a reserve deputy with the Prairie County Sheriff’s Patrol since 1998, it would be a privilege and honor to serve the people of Prairie County as your Sheriff.” Hamric was instated and trained under the late Sheriff Randy Raper. He has continued to serve the public and Sheriff Burnett since that time. Raised in Hickory Plains, Hamric is the son of Iva Hamric and the late Harvey (H.N.) Hamric. Hamric stated his faith and values are firmly rooted in God, the Nation and the people of Prairie County. He is a member of Hickory Plains Church of the Nazarene and attended ASU-Beebe. Hamric is owner/operator of Hamric Enterprises a licensed management business. He said, “Being in management roles as well as owning my own business, I can offer leadership and common sense practices to the Sheriff’s De-

James “Jim” Hamric partment and to the people of Prairie County.” “My goals are to make for a great County and to empower and encourage the citizens of Prairie County to be ever watchful in their communities as well as to build a strong reserve deputy program”. Hamric said, “Being an 18year veteran of the Sheriff’s Patrol, we have valuable resources for our County. I would like to see meetings with parents at our schools, public forums and greater use of social media to investigate and publicize activities in the county”. “I will appreciate your vote and I am looking forward to serving you as your next Prairie County Sheriff,” Hamric stated.

O U R N A L

Prison Sentences Members of a criminal justice task force did not expect to see the man who appointed them, but there he was, Governor Hutchinson, not just dropping by, and bringing with him a new sense of urgency born of frustration. And of concern for the budget. His complaint was that too many judges are departing from the sentencing guidelines in criminal cases, being too tough, lowering the boom, ordering inmates to serve longer sentences. And driving up the cost of prisons, which this year will consume uncomfortably close to $400 million. Mr. Hutchinson’s comments were profoundly irritating to at least two judges, both of whom protested to me that, at best, the Governor had been either “poorly briefed” or “just p----- off” at the situation. Sentences in excess of guidelines, they insisted, were usually the product of juries or plea bargains. And to his urging that they be required to justify tougher sentences, well, these two judges said they are already required to do so. Not to excuse any of Mr. Hutchinson’s misstatements, if they were that, but who could blame any governor for being p----- off about a criminal justice system that, experts say, could easily produce the nation’s fastest growing inmate population. Arkansas already is in the running. Mr. Hutchinson demonstrated a serious interest in the problem in his 2014 campaign, then followed through this year when he obtained more than $30 million to relieve prison overcrowding and shift more of the burden to the parole system. And still the inmate count (about 15,000) is at a record high, with 1,400 or so prisoners awaiting transfer to state custody from county jails. Much of the surge in inmate populations in Arkansas and elsewhere owes to a factor apart from overzealous judges, as the Governor knows. In a paper published a week before Mr. Hutchinson’s drop-in, Jonathan Rothwell, a scholar at the Brookings Institution, published a brief survey of a “growing dispute over how far the imprisonment for drug offenses is to blame” for “destroying families and communities.” Rothwell noted studies suggesting African-Americans are “disproportionately and unfairly” harmed by the “war on drugs,” a “devastating” failure. He was careful to acknowledge, however, recent research that contradicts assertions of racial bias in drug arrests, convictions and sentencing. A Fordham University expert on felony statistics, John Pfaff, for one, examined millions of incarcerations over almost two decades and concluded that sentences for drug offenses nationally peaked at roughly 20 percent, meaning that about 80 percent of inmates were serving time for other offenses. Statistics can be misleading. Take, for example, the percentage of Arkansas prison inmates serving time for drug violations. On average it is about 20, perhaps 22 percent, within a point or two of Pfaff’s model. So, not that big a problem? Wait: Examine the percentage in Arkansas serving time for felonies from burglary and theft to robbery, rape, kidnapping and murder. The Department of Correction contends that more than eight of ten such crimes involved alcohol or drugs as a precipitating factor. “Somebody convicted of aggravated robbery, for instance, might never have committed the crime had he or she not needed the money to feed a habit,” says Dina Tyler of the state Department of Community Correction. Sentencing is driven by the most serious offense of which a defendant is convicted. Take a 20-something whose craving for meth or heroin drives him to burgle a residence in search of valuables to pawn. He encounters the homeowner, who he, panicked, then assaults and accidentally kills. He will serve a lengthy term for murder. The perpetrator’s core problem, his animating impulse, may not be an innate propensity for violence or simple theft but his drug dependency. He may draw sympathy from his family and defense attorney, perhaps even a judge who has seen it all before, but juries and prosecutors are often immune to hard luck stories. And the racial aspect? African-Americans make up no more than 16 percent of Arkansas’s population yet constitute 48 percent of its inmate population. “It’s not always that cut-and-dried,” Tyler says. “You have to dig a whole lot deeper than that. “Usually there’s a correlation between who is living in poverty” and crime rates, Tyler adds. “We have to look very closely at that, at who lives in poverty.” Not very closely, not really. Crimes against people and property (above the nuisance level) are generally the work of those, white or black, living below the societal norm in employment, income and education. That so many of Arkansas’s African-American citizens live below the poverty level helps explain, if it does not justify. Inmate overcrowding in Arkansas prisons will not be alleviated overnight, not through drug courts, expanded probation and parole or urging restraint by prosecutors and judges. It will take time and money in addition to being p----- off. (USPS 682-800)

Bombs Won’t Cut It . . . By Donald Kaul

When Paris suffered attacks that killed 17 last January — at the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and a kosher supermarket — it responded with great class. Parisians filled the streets, locked arm-in-arm in solidarity against terrorism. Leaders from throughout Europe (but not, alas, President Barack Obama) joined them in a show of support. And two days after the demonstration, Socialist Prime Minister Manuel Valls gave a memorable speech to the French National Assembly supporting the government’s declared “war on terrorism” but calling for the nation to maintain its principles of religious tolerance and separation of church and state. At which point the deputies stood and gave him an ovation, then broke into La Marseillaise. It was a wonderful moment. (The French have a great national anthem and they use it like a sword.) I doubt that moment will be repeated any time soon. The November 13 attacks in Paris ushered the entire world through yet another door, into a darker place. It is a place of fear. If a handful of lightly armed terrorists can bring one of the world’s great cities to its knees in a single evening, killing 129 and injuring hundreds more, then who among us is safe? It was, in a sense, more ominous than the 9/11 attacks which, while more costly in blood and treasure, seemed almost unrepeatable. We were caught unawares and took steps to ensure that we wouldn’t be again. The bad guys got lucky. The Paris attacks demonstrate how naïve that attitude is. How can we protect ourselves against an insidious, almost invisible army that takes advantage of the best qualities of western society — its openness, its tolerance — to do it grievous harm? French President François Hollande responded immediately by sending warplanes to bomb ISIS strongholds in Syria. I’m sure they killed some people, maybe even some terrorists. I can understand the response. You have to do something. But that’s not much of something. Bombs won’t cut it. The diabolical thing about this enemy is that it

doesn’t present much of a target. For all the talk of establishing a caliphate, it doesn’t have a navy or an air force or even artillery worthy Donald Kaul of the name. It works in small, secretive networks and kills in numbers greatly disproportionate to its military strength. We call them terrorists for a reason: They terrify us. Politically, they’re the best friends the right wing ever had. French National Front Leader Marine Le Pen, who has long advocated closing the doors to immigration, is having her “I told you so” moment. As are the anti-immigrant Republicans here. They’re lining up in favor of not allowing Muslim refugees fleeing the conflict in their home country sanctuary in ours. At least two dozen Republican governors have said they would refuse such refugees. The Democrats, including Obama, have presented a far more reasonable response — not all refugees are terrorists, stay the course, blah-blah — which sounds weak in the heated atmosphere of a presidential campaign. Even Donald Trump’s lunatic ravings against the invasion of Mexican rapists and drug dealers sound almost reasonable now. “Here’s the problem,” said Marco Rubio, for once not mentioning that his father was a bartender and his mother was a cleaning lady. “You allow 10,000 people in. And 9,999 of them are innocent people feeling oppression. And one of them is a well-trained ISIS fighter.” That sort of logic is more appealing now, when we have Islamic militants on our television screens promising to come get us. So is the dismissal of the revelations of Edward Snowden on the universal surveillance we’re being subjected to. More surveillance? Sounds safer. Bring it on. The real question is how all of this will affect our elections next year. Will it inspire a sense of seriousness in the electorate that has been lacking so far? Or will it bend things toward the hardliners who want to hole up in Fortress America? We’ll see.

Judge Mark Pate was elected as the Judge for Division 1 and Derrick was elected as the Judge for Division 2. White County was divided into eight Departments; one for each of the courts in existence. These were Searcy and Beebe (which were already district courts) and Bald Knob, Bradford, Judsonia, Kensett, McRae, Pangburn, and Rose Bud, which had been City Courts. Judge Pate andDerrick divided the duties with Judge Pate having the primary duties of the Searcy Department and Judge Derrick having the primary duties of the other eight Departments. Judge Derrick advises, “Now, by Arkansas Law, Prairie County is being added into the State District Court System. It will become a part of District 23 with White County and

Judge Mark Derrick will have four Departments (one for each of the Courts already in existence). There will be no changes in the Court Clerks or locations of the courts.” Judge Pate and Judge Derrick, if re-elected, will travel to Prairie County for court. Prior to being a full-time District Judge, Judge Derrick was the City Judge for the Cities of McRae, Bradford, and Griffithville and he heard the Small Claims Court cases in the Searcy Municipal Court for Judge Leroy Froman for three years. He was the City Attorney/Prosecutor for the City of Beebe. He also served as City Attorney for

(Compiled from White River Journal files)

Thursday, December 10, 1931

tired and bedraggled Communist army of 1,600 “hunger marchers tumbled wearily into temporary sleeping quarters tonight after a strenuous day during which they had been rebuffed in every move to get radical legislature demands before Congress and President Hoover. Making no attempt to hide their Communist leanings, the marchers slouched along the streets singing the Soviet Internationale song, chanting demands for full wage unemploymnt relief and demanding that “our capitalistic government be crushed by the upcoming Communist organization.” Last week was a busy one at the Oak Prairie School, according to Evangeline Bell, reporter. The school was visited by an official from the State Department of Education, a health officer, and county agents. There will be a basketball game between the Oak Prairie girls and boys and the Johnson Chapel School girls and boys Friday at Johnson Chapel. Congressman John E. Miller of this district, anxious to cooperate with the public health work, has recently obtained for distribution three government publications: Parental Care, Infant Care, and The Child From One to Six. An outstanding citizen has gone from among us: The sterling qualities, loving kindness, and retiring personality of R. A. Merryman, has gone. His beautiful life has been an inspiration, his manliness, princely and generous nature was unexcelled. The community is better, the people elevated, by Mr. Merrman being among us. A letter from L. C. Baker,

assistant State Club leader, advises that Frederick Seidenstricker of Tollville is the winner of the Holstein heifer given for the boy having the best record in dairying using Holstein. Frederick, age 14, has been in 4-H Club work three years. He bought his registered Holstein Heifer in June 1928 from the State A & M College at Jonesboro for $40.00. He now has three registered Holsteins. Only a few more weeks as a free school in Des Arc; after that, school will be run on a subscription basis, if possible. It is regrettable that the school finances of this State are in such deplorable condition. The school needs the whole hearted support of every citizen as the teachers try to finish out the school year on a subscription basis. Again we are called upon to chronicle the death of one of Des Arc’s most highly respected citizens, Mr. T. G. Roe, who died Friday, Dec. 4, 1931, at the age of 46 years. He was a perfect Christian gentleman, was bookkeeper of the O. B. Guinn Stave Mill Co., until they retired, was bookkeeper for B. B. Bethell & Son, and then bought the Des Arc Bakery which he operated until his health failed. He leaves his wife and six children. D. W. Currier, our popular druggist, was reported on the puny list several days this week. Saturday Specials at Griggs Cash Store in Des Arc include Pure Cane Sugar, 20 lbs, $1.00; Pure Coffee, 8 lbs, $1.00; Building Paper, roll, 59c; 100 lbs Salt, 95c; Men’s Full Thigh Boots, $4.25; Men’s Best Work Shirts, 59c; Men’s Heavy Work Socks, 3 pairs, 25c; Children’s Hose, 3 pairs, 25c; One Lot Men’s Work Pants, 75c.

Thursday, December 3, 1942 Cotton farmers haven’t been asked to stop growing cotton altogether. They have only been asked to hold their production within the limits of the Nation’s needs, and to use their dwindling supplies of labor, machinery, chemicals and transportation and storage facilities to the best advantage in producing things the Nation actually needs badly, such as peanuts, soybeans, pork, beef, poultry and dairy products. A $625,000 refund to this year’s electric customers of the Arkansas Power and Light Company was ordered last week by the State Utilities Commission. The refund order was based on what the Commission found to be excess earnings in 1942. The more than 10,000 American Legion members in the state, through their 145 local posts are engaged in a Jalopy Roundup to get junk automobiles to war industry channels. The only formality necessary is to get the consent of the owner of the land on which a junked car has been abandoned. Women voters will hold the balance of power in the 1944 presidential election if the war continues, “Governor Adkins said. He paid tribute to 60,000 Arkansas men and women who have entered military service. Census report shows that 7,829 bales of cotton wee ginned in Prairie County, Ark. from the crop of 1942 prior to Nov. 14, compared with 8,708 bales from the crop of 1941, according to Roy F. Hill, reporter. Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Gilliam of this city, accompanied by little Miss Lula Fay Allen, were Christmas shoppers to

Little Rock, Monday. Our friends, Messrs. G. G. and C. C. Purvis, managers of the Plunkett plantation, were over from Biscoe on business yesterday. The ladies of the following organizations of Des Arc did a grand job during Women at War Week selling war bonds totaling $4,050.00 and $71.50 in War Stamps. They were representatives of the Methodist Church, Baptist Church, Presbyterian Church, Full Gospel Church and the Sesame Club. Henry Bell, who has served the Des Arc Lumber Co., the past four years, has resigned his postition with Mr. Nichols and with his family has moved to England, Ark., where he will engage in farming. We understand that Mr. O. L. Simmons, one of our successful rice growers, has purchased the L. A. DeVore home in the Walt Addition in Des Arc and will move to same the first of the year. Miss Mary Jane McCuin, who attends State Teachers College in Conway, spent the Thanksgiving weekend at home with parents, Mr. and Mrs. Q. E. McCuin, and friends. Our friend, Mr. E. L. Hayley, one of Johnson Chapel’s progressives, and a regular reader of the White River Journal, was a pleasant caller while in town with produce and paid his subscription. Order your Christmas turkey now from home raiser, R. E. Hall, located on High way No. 11, known as the old Ben Keltner place between Des Arc and Hazen: 35 cents per lb; dressed, 50 cents per lb.

Thursday, December 3, 1981 The annual pre-holiday merchants drawings have drawn large crowds to downtown Des Arc the past two weeks. Last Saturday’s drawing winners were Mrs. Corinne Kloss, $100; Ms. Maxine Mayher, $50; and Mrs. Lester Childers, $25. Presentations were made by Gene Horne, president of the Des Arc Merchants Association. The 26th annual DAHS Alumni Banquet held Friday evening at the school was attended by 150 including five members who have not missed a meeting. They were Mayor Willis Eddins, Billy M. Garth, Ellen Bess Caskey, Clairelyn Rister and Barbara Eoff Livesay. Jerry Berry was succeeded in the office of president by Donald Patterson, who was also program chairman. The welcome was given by former teachercoach, Don Carter; the response was given by former resident, Jack Jordan, now superintendent of DeWitt Schools. Jerry DeVorak was unanimously elected vice president and program chairman for next year. Entertainers were Stewart Morton, Julie Dicks, Andy Burrow, Roxanne Guess, Michelle Livesay, Paul Guess and Melanie Nail, and Miss Beth Pearson, their music teacher. Past presidents in attendance were: Manuel Holcomb, Jerry Berry, Willis Eddins, Guyman DeVore, George Ford, Bob Childers, Lawrence Stine, Alta Holloway and R. L. Morton. Kim Newton, age 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. (Bettie) Newton of the Oak Prairie Community, suffered severe injuries on Thanksgiving Day when a three-wheeler overturned on top of him on a rice levee. He has suffered spinal injuries. A large crowd attended the auction Tuesday at the Stevens Home & Auto Supply in Des Arc. The business, opened in 1954, as Stevens Western Auto by Earl Stevens

and wife, Theresa, closed this week after 27 years in business here. The building, occupied by the business, between 3rd and 4th Sts. on Main, is owned by Farmers & Merchants Bank. Rob Thornton of Hickory Plains has received a Quality Award from Associated Milk Producers Inc. at a recent District 8 meeting.

Gerald “Jerry” Michael Ludwig, 71, died November 21, 2015, at home in Stuttgart with his family and cat at his side. His plan was ultimately “to be recycled into other life forms and minerals”. He was born February 22, 1944, in Superior, Wisconsin, to parents who were educators with expectations that all children should be welleducated too. Jerry grew up in Gresham, Wisconsin, and earned degrees from the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh and Milwaukee, followed by a Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Hawaii. Marine biology was the dictating force both professionally and recreationally throughout his life. While working on his Master’s, he was employed as Curator of Fish and Ecology at the Milwaukee Public Museum. He created exhibits and participated in collecting expeditions throughout North and Central America, including the Arctic. Jerry and his family next moved to Hawaii where he earned his Ph.D. specializing in the study of coral reef fish. During this time he also worked as a fishery biologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and later as the remote islands manager for the Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge. Jerry then transferred to the Florida Keys where he conducted marine fish research in Florida Bay for the USFWS. Following the death of his first wife, Jean, Jerry and his two children moved to Stuttgart, AR. Here he conducted aquaculture research for the USFWS and the U.S. Department of Agriculture for 22 years. Jerry was a firm believer in equal opportunity, and won two national federal awards for his leadership in civil rights for federal employees. He published numerous scientific research papers and popular articles about fish farming, and did pioneering work in the culture of fingerling fish food. The Striped Bass Growers Association awarded Jerry a Distinguished Service Award for his research with larval fish culture. He was an expert photographer, and won many national awards from the USFWS and published several cover photographs for Aquaculture magazine. After retiring from USFWS in 2009, he became active again with the Stuttgart Lions Club, ultimately serving as president despite his expressed fears of public speaking. He readily volunteered his services at annual fundraisers for the Lions Club in the concession booth on July 4, at the bowling alley for “Bowl for Sight”, and at the annual shrimp boil. He developed many good friends throughout the state on international dive trips. His sister Winnie was another of his willing dive buddies on a number of these trips. Trips included the South Pacific, Indian Ocean and Caribbean. His last trip was to the Solomon Islands in August, and he was slated to depart to New Guinea on Nov. 22, the day after he died of pancreatic cancer. Survivors are his mother, Winnifred Ludwig; wife, Nancy Ludwig; daughter, Kristine Hoskins (Mark) of Bauxite; son, Daniel Ludwig (Debra) of Gautier, MS; grandsons, Ryan Hoskins and Steven and Mathew Ludwig, and stepsons Kermit Key of Little Rock and Kyle Key (Carmela) of Santa Fe, NM; brothers, Theodore (Lisa), Robert (Bing), Lawrence (Marie), William (Kathy), John (Ruth), Edward; sisters Winnifred (Charles) Aitch and Mary (Chuck) Miller. A remembrance of Jerry’s life will be held at a later date.

Clifford Gus Bubbus of Hensley, Arkansas was born July 12, 1951 in Sacramento, California, the son of the late Jim and Margie Prine Bubbus.

He was a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association, and was truly a gifted marksman. He enjoyed hunting and was a member of the Deliverance Hunting Lodge in Des Arc, and was also a very good cook. His greatest times were spent making memories with his family, especially the two ‘prettiest’ granddaughters in the world.

Survivors include his wife of 38 years, Marilyn Arledge Bubbus of Hensley; son, John Bubbus and wife Lisa of Bauxite; daughter Brandy and husband Scooter Scruggs of East End; brothers, Paul Bubbus, Larry Bubbus and David Vernon Bubbus all of Russellville; sisters, Gail and husband Billy Spadoni of Benton and Teresa and husband Leo Harris of Russellville; grandchildren, Kayla and Kylie Bubbus and a host of nieces, nephews and friends.

Alice and Jimmy raised their children in North Little Rock, where they attended Levy United Methodist and later, Indian Hills Baptist Church, and she volunteered for Meals on Wheels. Her head for numbers, sharp bargain hunting, and love for antiques came together as she ran Alice’s Antiques and Gifts in Cabot in the 1990s.

Under Wraps - God is Expectant! Isaiah 9:1-7 Writer Frederick Buechner in his book Wishful Thinking has a section called Messiah. He begins this section with the German saying, “Wie Man’s Macht, Ist’s Falsch.” According to Buechner it means, “Whatever people do, it turns out lousy.” Often times our best of intentions end up leading us where we do not want to go. The Russians get rid of the Czars and end up with Stalin. We in the U.S. create a country based on the idea that “all men are created equal,” yet build it a good portion of it on the labor of slaves. And the Hebrew people Buechner says, “The nation that God chooses to be the hope of the world becomes the stooge of the world.” They have been enslaved, exiled, led astray, prone to warring among themselves, and their temple was destroyed not once but twice. It is a people that have a Wailing Wall. But a faithful remnant continues to hope, continues to dream. They continued to hope for the Messiah, the one Anointed by Yahweh. Each year during the celebration of the Passover often times faithful Jews still set out a cup during the Seder that they call Elijah’s cup. Little children eagerly open the door in ceremonial expectation of the coming of Elijah. For Jews believe that the return of the prophet Elijah signal the coming of the Messiah. As Christians we believe that John the Baptist is the prophet who was like Elijah and who announced the coming of the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth in Galilee. Our scripture reading is from the book of Isaiah which dates back to the 8th Century B.C.E. Around 734 to 732 Judah is facing attacks from Syria and Israel. Ahaz the King of Judah is considering a treaty with Assyria to help stop the attacks. Assyria in this time period was the political heavy hitter in this region. Some might have called it the “Evil Empire.” Isaiah warns that an alliance with Assyria amount to walking in political and theological darkness. The reason is that by accepting a treaty Judah will lose its’ identity and even more troubling it shows a lack of trust and reliance on Yahweh. In verses two and three of this passage there is a poetic description of how Judah’s joy will be multiplied because the people who have been walking in darkness have seen a great light. In versed four through six reasons are given for this; oppression will be broken, weapons will be destroyed, and a child has been born who will bear the yoke of authority on his shoulders. Now some scholars believe that verses 2-7 are a quotation of a hymn or liturgy offered at the coronation of the king at the time, in that context they point to Ahaz’s son Hezekiah as the fulfillment of Isaiah’s words. There are reasons for and against this one challenge you could make to this is that the ti-

tles used by Isaiah seem more appropriate descriptions of Yahweh than his kings. This passage is one that we as Christians have read as foreshadowing the birth of Jesus. The passage whether originally about Hezekiah or not express the divine intention that was and is being fulfilled in Jesus. Also, the expansion of the meaning of the passage is for that God now not only works to bring about his Kingdom through earthly agents, but the child born, the king, is also now God with us. God will do this. What’s amazing is that it is around 700 years between the writing of this passage and the birth of Jesus. How many generations would later live in expectation of the complete fulfilling of these words through God’s Messiah? Advent is a time of expectation. Despite how we celebrate this season today it was not meant to be a time of instant gratification or indulgence. It was meant to be a time of selfsacrifice and repentance as we remember the story of the birth of the Messiah. God might also be expecting something from us. I want to challenge us with three applications this morning. The first application is that God expects us to respond to the amazing gift of Jesus. By respond I mean to react favorably and to make a return by some action. In other words to respond means to turn from the way we were going and accept the gift of grace that Jesus gives to us. Also it means to act in obedience and commit ourselves to making Jesus the Lord of our lives. The second application is that God expects us to share the story of Jesus. And by share I mean we share with both our words and our actions. This time of year presents wonderful opportunities to share our faith with others and also to show our faith to others. We need to worry less about fighting the “war on Christmas” and worry more about sharing Christmas with others. The third application is that God expects us to prepare by being watchful and come with an attitude of anticipation. If we only go through the motions of Advent can we really expect anything different to happen at Christmas? However, what if we took this season as a time to incorporate a new spiritual discipline into our lives? It could mean, but not only, reading an ongoing devotional, praying at a specific time each day, or journaling our Advent experience in some way. I want to encourage you to live in expectation of moving out of spiritual darkness into light because unto us a child is born. Let us respond, share, and prepare this season. May God bless you this week. Brother Dee

I take after my Mom. People used to be amazed at what she could buy us kids, with such little money. I too LOVE getting great deals, and with Black Friday coming up, a lot of us have sales on our minds. What excites me most, is when I am able get something very valuable, worth much more than I have to pay... You want to know the greatest "deal" I ever got? It was the day I offered God what I had, and in return, he offered me what he had. He took my sins, confusion, doubts, fears, weaknesses, stress, failures, sickness, pain, and past, and in exchange, gave me, forgiveness, peace, assurance, healing, hope, His righteousness, His strength and thru His grace, the ability to live an overcoming life and live eternally. Now that's a "Beautiful Exchange", or like I call it, a great deal. Written by Deborah (Pool) Skarda, submitted by Opal Crider

IN APPRECIATION: MaryAnne Williams, left, is pictured here presenting a Certificate of Appreciation to the Des Arc Alumni Association on Saturday, November 28 during the annual Alumni Association Banquet. The Certificate was accepted by 2015 Alumni President Thressia Bradley-Taylor. According to Williams, the Alumni Association has invested $500 every year since 2009 providing 1750 books conservatively valued at nearly $20,000. The Certificate reads: “Be it known that Margaret Fisher Literacy Challenge, Inc. aka Imagination Library of Prairie & Woodruff Counties recognizes the Des Arc Alumni Association as a sustaining investor in the education of young Arkansans. Their annual support represents a unique opportunity that giving the gift of books have on the educational and economic impact in the years to come. Children who learn to appreciate books at an early age become lifelong readers and better learners. They are more prepared when they enter school and are more likely to stay in school and graduate. “ The continuing participation of the Des Arc Alumni Association makes the gift of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library books available to all preschool children ages birth to five in Prairie County. This home library offers many memorable moments to families fostering a love of learning and education that will benefit our community and our world. Williams is one of the coordinators for the Dolly Parton reading program.

Residents and Guests enjoying delicious Thanksgiving dinner at DANRC

De S ArC n urSing & reh AbilitAt ion Cen ter by Activity Director, teresa henley

Greetings from Des Arc Nursing and Rehabilitation Center! We hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving despite the bad weather. DANRC had a delicious Thanksgiving dinner with all the traditional foods and boy, was it good! After eating all of that good food, we wanted to take a nap! We were sorry to learn the Eagles lost their game at England but they are winners in our book! They have had a great season. We did not think the rain was ever going to end after four days. We hardley recognized the sun when it came out on Tuesday! We are busy finishing up decorating the facility for the Christmas holidays. The residents are excited

and are looking forward to the First Baptist Choir’s visit and the Gifted and Talented kids from Des Arc Elementary. Just a couple of special events that will be happening here. It is only 22 days until Christmas. Did you go to the sales on Thursday or Friday? I understand that it was not quite as bad as last year but I have heard that Cyber Monday was the heaviest that is has been in several years. We enjoyed watching the Razorbacks on Friday win their last game of the season against Missouri. We were wondering which Bowl Game the Hogs will be invited to.

Preheat the oven to 350° F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside. In a large bowl with a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar together until is light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well. In another bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking soda, and salt and mix well. Add half of the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix well. Add the other half and mix well. Stir in the dried cranberries, walnuts, and white chocolate chips. Drop the dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto the lined cookie sheet about 3 to 4 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool. Makes 3 dozen. Time Honored Cutout Sugar Cookies and Royal Icing 2 2 2 1 1 1 6

timore. "The new study establishes that GAPDH is a target for salicylate drugs related to aspirin, and hence may be relevant to the therapeutic actions of such drugs." The anti-Parkinson's drug deprenyl works in a similar way on GAPDH, the researchers noted. They also found that a natural derivative of salicylic acid from the Chinese medical lherb licorice and a labsynthesized derivative bind to GAPDH more tightly than salicylic acid. The study was funded, in part, by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the U.S. Public Health Service.

Icebox Fruitcake ( my grandmother always made this at Christmas using vanilla wafers) 1 Box graham crackers (14.4 oz.) 1 cup pecans 1 jar maraschino cherries (10 oz.) drained, with juice reserved 1 cup raisins 1 cup shredded coconut, firmly packed 1½ cups mini marshmallows 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz.) Finely crush graham crackers and coarsely chop pecans and drain cherries. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Add reserved cherry juice by the tablespoonful until the mixture comes together, but isn't too soft. Turn out into a lightly buttered 9X13 dish and press flat into the pan with your hands. Chill at least 6 hours, then cut into bars. Pecan Chewies 2 sticks butter 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed 2 eggs, well beaten 2 cups self-rising flour 1 cup pecans 2 tsp. vanilla Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Melt butter, add sugars, and blend well by hand (no mixer). Add beaten eggs, stir well. Add flour and stir until all lumps are gone. Add pecans and vanilla. Pour into a greased and floured 9 x 13 baking dish. Bake approximately 40 to 50 minutes being cautious not to over cook. You want them to remain chewy. Cool and cut into squares. Pecan Snowballs

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until smooth. Add eggs, extracts, and salt, mix well. Add the flour gradually, stirring well. Cover or wrap dough and chill for at least an hour, but preferably overnight. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Divide dough into quarters and work with one quarter at a time, keeping the other refrigerated. Roll out on floured surface to about a ¼ thickness. Cut into shapes with your favorite cookie cutters. Transfer cutouts to a cool cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Bake 6 to 8 minutes, or until set but not browned. Cool and decorate with royal icing. Royal icing 3 oz. pasteurized egg whites (example: All Whites) 1 teaspoon vanilla 4 cups powdered sugar Instructions In a large bowl, beat together whites and

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks) 1 cup powdered sugar (plus more for coating) 2 teaspoons vanilla extract ¼ teaspoon salt 2 cups all-purpose flour 1¼ cups finely chopped pecans Preheat the oven to 350° F and line a cookie sheet with parchment or silicone baking mat. In a large bowl, (or in the bowl of your stand mixer) cream your butter and sugar together. Add the vanilla and salt and mix well. Slowly add the flour, mixing well after each addition. A thick dough will form. Add the chopped pecans and mix well. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the dough out and roll it into a ball and place it on the cookie sheet. I like using a 1 tablespoon cookie dough scoop to get them all the same size. Continue until all the dough has been formed into balls. Place them on the cookie sheet about 1 inch part. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool for about 5 minutes then gently roll them in powdered sugar while still warm. Allow them to cool completely and then coat them in powdered sugar again.

Can Aspirin Help Prevent Alzheimer's? A key component of aspirin has been found to block a process in the development of Alzheimer’s disease, as well as Parkinson’s, Huntington’s and other neurodegenerative disorders. Researchers at the Boyce Thompson Institute and John Hopkins University discovered that salicylic acid, the primary byproduct of aspirin, binds to a cellular enzyme called GAPDH. That stops it from causing cell – a key mechanism in the development of Alzheimer’s and other brain disorders. The study, which appears in the Public Library of Science journal PLOS ONE, suggests that derivatives of salicylic acid may hold promise for treating multiple neurodegenerative diseases. "The enzyme GAPDH, long thought to function solely in glucose metabolism, is now known to participate in intracellular signaling," said researcher Solomon Snyder, professor of neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University in Bal-

We are Family!

On a rainy and cold Friday evening, November 27, the Des Arc Eagles were on the road for Round Three of the 2015 Football Playoffs against the Number One Ranked England Lions. This was Eagle weather-rainy, muddy and cold. They had this game. But the Lions had other ideas on how this game would go and ended. The Lions defeated the Eagles 28-22. The Lions held the Eagles to only 153 rushing yards. The Eagles were down in the fourth quarter until Senior Quarterback Noah Kennedy connected with Senior Jacob

Adams to tie the game and the Eagles would score the two-point conversion putting Des Arc ahead with just two minutes left in the game. England roared back to move the football 65 yards in one minute and connected on a 17-yard pass for the goahead touchdown and two point conversion. Des Arc could not get their drive close to the goal to score in the last minute of the game. Final score England 28, Des Arc 22. Ten Seniors also played their last game of their high school career. The Eagles are 11-2 on the season with

losses coming from #1 Ranked McCrory early in the season and England. Editor’s note: These kids have worked hard all season and although they did not win, they are still winners! Congratulations to the Eagles, Coach Widener and his staff, Mr. Yarbrough and the DAHS Marching Band and Krissy Covington and the DAHS Cheerleaders for pouring their heart and soul in to this crazy game of football and giving Eagle fans a great season! THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!!!

GAME OF THE WEEK No. 3 England at No. 1 Rison Wildly contrasting styles on display Friday night at Rison where the hedge dwellers got rowdy enough last week that Hector had difficulty hearing the snap count. Rison doesn't run the pure Veer of years ago, but the Wildcats still run most of the time. Rison rushed for 386 of its 404 total yards last week in a 45-36 win over Hector. Explosive England averages a balanced 408 yards per game with 16.5 yards per pass completion and 8.5 yards per carry. Both defenses boast tenacious lines. England held run-first Des Arc to 153 rushing yards last week, while Rison gave up 385 passing yards to Hector. But Rison's defense forced two interceptions that led to touchdowns. Rison dropped the Hector QB for 43 yards in losses and held Hector to 12 net yards on 21 rushing attempts. See more on England at Rison below. LAST WEEK Hootens.com picked two of four games (50 percent) involving Class 2A teams. It has correctly picked 245 of 291 (84 percent) for the season. WEEK 14 PLAYOFF PREDICTIONS (favored team in ALL CAPS followed by point spread) TOP HALF OF BRACKET No. 3 England at No. 1 RISON (1): 8-2A champion Rison played its 100th playoff game last week, dropping 4-2A Hector 45-36 by turning three of four Hector turnovers into TDs. Rison is 69-31 all-time in the postseason, according to Rison historian Stan Sadler. Senior RB Bryson Marks (1,752 yards in 2015) burned Hector for 259 yards and three TDs, ripping off scoring runs of 63, 37 and 47 yards. Marks runs behind Rison's best offensive line since 2010. While the Wildcats big-played Hector, they managed just five runs of 10 yards or more the week before against Gurdon, controlling the ball 31 minutes with 70 plays (64 rushing) that netted 279 yards with no turnovers. Rison had one turnover vs. Hector. Rison senior QB Seth Crouse has thrown 28 career TD passes, just one shy of the school record. Senior LB Gage Roberts leads the Wildcats with 37 solo tackles, 27 assists and nine TFL. Gage has intercepted four passes. Rison has intercepted 14 passes this fall, returning six of them for TDs. 5-2A champion England, in the postseason for the 13th time, reached the state title game in 1981 and lost to Highland 10-6. The Lions last advanced to the state semifinals in 1987 when they lost to eventual state champion McGehee 27-0. The 2015 England Lions' first-team defense has allowed 78 points all season. Ten different Lions have double-digit tackles, led by junior Simeon Brooks (36 tackles) and senior Zach Montgomery (33 tackles, seven TFL). Junior Brayden Brazeal has completed 68 percent of his passes for 2,821 yards and 40 TDs with one INT. Senior Xavier Iverson and junior B.J. Thompson have combined for 88 receptions for 1,563 yards and 22 TDs. England has been challenged three times this year. It topped fellow 52A member and state semifinalist Conway Christian 27-20 Week 6. The Lions defeated Mountainburg 48-28 two weeks ago. Last week, visiting Des Arc took the lead with two minutes left, but Brazeal guided the Lions 65 yards in one minute and capped the drive with a 17-yard TD pass to Iverson for a 28-22 victory. BOTTOM HALF OF BRACKET No. 7 Conway Christian at No. 2 MCCRORY (2): McCrory got past Mount Ida 16-7 last week with a defensive stand in the fourth quarter and a game-clinching TD with 42 seconds left. McCrory reaches the state semifinals for the third time in the past five years. Senior RB Kaigen Rogo has rushed for 1,574 yards (9.5 ypc), while senior QB Cade Campbell has passed for 915 yards and 14 TDs. Campbell (73 tackles) and senior LB Hunter Davis (84 tackles) pace the Jaguars in tackles, while Rogo leads the team in interceptions. One lineman, senior LG/DT Chauncey Green (5-10, 245), plays both ways all the time. Sophomore RT/DE Jamone McCoy (6-3, 265) plays both ways about half the snaps. McCoy, Green, Tyler Hall, Ty Alumbaugh and Lee Willis have played well up front most of the year. Conway Christian won its fifth playoff game in eight years of varsity football last week by topping 2014 state runner-up Hazen 34-30. A week earlier, the Eagles ended three-time defending state champ Junction City's 16-game postseason win streak. Last week, senior QB Jaykob Henry completed 17 of 35 passes for 278 yards and three TDs against Hazen (8-5). Henry has passed for 3,606 yards and 50 TDs this year. One 5-2A coach calls Conway Christian senior WR Jon Mark Wood “the best receiver in the state.” Wood caught six passes for 109 yards and three TDs at Junction City. He had four receptions for 101 yards and two TDs last week against Hazen, giving him 1,035 yards and 17 TDs for the year. Junior slotback Seth Smith rushed six times for 111 yards and a TD last week. Smith has 66 receptions this year for 1,431 yards and 21 TDs. Junior Will Jackson kicked two clutch field goals (his first of the year) of 24 and 28 yards at Junction City in the 41-36 triumph. Jackson kicked two more FGs (30 and 32 yards) last week in the four-point win over Hazen.

Crawford Votes for More Secure Vetting Process Earlier this week, Representative Rick Crawford voted for H.R. 4038, the American Security Against Foreign Enemies (SAFE) Act. After the bill’s passage, Representative Rick Crawford released the following statement: “Since its inception, the

United States has been a haven for immigrants and refugees from around the world, and I’m proud of that tradition. However, given the complexity of the current situation and global threats of terrorist attacks, I worry that some, under the guise of the refugee program, would come to our shores in a de-

liberate attempt to take advantage of our hospitality and do us harm. Our first priority has to be the protection of American citizens, and by strengthening our system for vetting and screening refugees, the SAFE Act would help prevent potential terrorist attacks on our homeland.”

Prairie County Courthouse News The following information was obtained from the records in the County Clerk’s office at the Prairie County Courthouse in Des Arc and DeValls Bluff on Tuesday, December 1, 2015:

Time on their hands . . . Above, l-r: Harvey Joe Sanner, Russell Mc-Kay, Mrs. Rhoda, Tony Smith and Butch Calhoun. In Lake Village, AR on November 19, Mrs. Rhoda told the guys from Des Arc that she had been making her Hot Tamales ‘just the way the Lord wants them made’ for 46 years. They said, ”She sure does - for they were HEAVEWENLY!! The place to go if you are hungry for tamales, or you might try The Tamale Factory at Gregory

* Carlisle, Lonoke & Griffithville delivered to Post Offices 11/25 by WRJ (Not handled by USPS at NLR Terminal)

Expected Journal delivery by USPS now Next-Day for many! The USPS Mail Distribution Terminal in North Little Rock achieved “next-day delivery” for the fourth consecutive week Fri., Nov. 27 - taking into consideration that Thursday was the Thanksgiving holiday. The only “mess-up” was Little Rock, which didn’t receive papers until Mon., Nov 30. (Next-day delivery to Alma is not expected, and is shown only because it did happen as an aberration on 9/4 ... miracles still occur) USPS officials at NLR have committed to improved service with these two November 18 email statements to the Journal: 1. “We are planning on making this (next-day-delivery) a trend”. 2. “No misinterpretation. We are utilizing your (Journal’s) emails and positive comments to build synergy around our flat clerks and not only improve your service but provide the service that everyone deserves”. The delivery chart at left has been revised to omit the 8 weeks of late deliveries between 9/10 and 10/29 to start with a “Clean Slate”. Hopefully, the future will include near-100% “next-day” deliveries at the locations listed. (Later than “next-day” will be shown in RED color, viewable online)

NOTE: To circumvent late postal delivery . . . Get the Journal “ONLINE” (it’s FREE with your paid subscription) and read the “Journal” early on same day mailed !

Bradley Ward Electric named Top Performer by Entergy Bradley Ward of Des Arc received an award from Entergy for being the 2014 Top Performer in the lighting program for businesses from Entergy Solutions. The award was presented in 2015. Entergy offers a program to commercial Entergy customers to upgrade their lighting to energy efficient at their place of business. Entergy offers incentive money to change over to energy efficient lighting. In some cases, Entergy pays up to 75% of the cost. After the upgrade, businesses could get their money back in energy savings on their electric bill in less than a year. More savings means more money.
