Sheriff’s office reports several incidents including recent standoff with gunman On the weekend of June 24, the Prairie County Sheriff’s Office was contacted and officers were dispatched to Smith-Vester Road near Ulm, to investigate a theft of farm equipment. Gary Wilks, a local farmer, advised Deputy Elmer Graham that a grain cart valued at $35,000 was missing. For 25 years, Wilks said he has called this farm location his home. “It’s a family thing. My dad did it, my wife’s father did it-it’s part of our heritage,” Wilks said. With the help of the Monroe County Sheriff’s office, local deputies were able to track down Wilk’s grain cart in Texas, eight miles from the border and heading to Mexico.

Prairie County Deputies arrested Madison Walker, 47, of Roe. They said, “We believe he and his brother, Joshua Walker, are responsible for this and several other thefts in the area.” The cart had been sold to a third party and transported to Pharr, TX, officers said. Prairie County Chief Deputy Bill Duerson suggests that all farmers lock up their equipment.. Madison Walker was charged with Theft by Receiving and released on a $50,000.00 bond. Joshua Walker was charged with Theft by Receiving and is being held in the Prairie County Jail. Other cases are pending, according to the sheriff’s office. Over 30 local, county

and state police, and wildlife officers were dispatched to Lake Des Arc, off Highway 11 North on Monday, July 25, where it was believed there was a suicide attempt. The suspect, identified as David Neal Rhyne, was armed with two rifles and threatening to start woods fires and shoot everyone and himself, according to DeputyDeputy, Elmer Graham.

Rhyne was taken into custody without injury to anyone. He has been charged with Theft by Receiving, Resisting Arrest and Public Intoxication. Rhyne is incarcerated at the Prairie County Jail. According to Deputy Graham, Rhyne was armed with guns but discovered he had the wrong bullets. According to Deputy Graham, Rhyne had made the call to police with

threats of killing people and burning down the woods. According to Deputy Graham, Rhyne is incarcerated but will be sent for mental evaluation. “However,” Graham said, “He will have to face the charges against him regardless of the results of his test.” Rhyne’s residence is on Hwy 11 near Bayou Des Arc.

School board raises elementary lunches; hires two teachers At its regular monthly meeting Monday night, the Des Arc School Board voted to employ Michelle Marshall as an elementary teacher and Stephanie Hardy as English/Oral Communications teacher in the high school for the 2016-17 school year. In other business, the board adopted a resolution for identifying personnel with a salary increase of 5% or more as required by law. The vote was unanimous. A motion was adopted to increase the daily rate of substitute teacher pay to $68 for substitutes with less than a bachelor’s degree, and $73 for those with a bachelor’s degree or higher starting in school year 2016-2017. It was voted unani-

mously to hold this year’s school election by absentee and early voting only. An increase in the cost of lunches was unanimously approved. The cost of lunches at the elementary school was increased to $2.25 for the 2016-17 school year. Board members present were Charlie Brown, Kent Childers, Billy Hinson, Sylvester Holloway, Eric Kennedy, and Stewart Morton. Also present were Supt. Nick Hill and Principals Bruce Guthrie, high school, and Dena Rooks, elementary. The next regular scheduled meeting will be on Monday, August 22 at 7:00 p.m. at the Superintendent’s office on the high school campus.

Bloomberg: Trump Cherry-Picks Data, Stretches Truth

(Guest Writer) Long-time Print and Broadcast Journalist

In his speech Thursday night accepting the Republican nomination, Donald Trump stretched the facts on numerous occasions, got them right in other cases, and cherry-picked data to make his case for the presidency. The speech was accompanied by 282 footnotes, primarily from mainstream media outlets and government sources, to support his claims. Below is a look at Trump's statements, and how they compare to the facts.

Age of Maturity?

(USPS 682-800)

The other day I asked your grandmother if there was a certain point in anyone’s life when that individual, he or she, could be said to have “come of age.” Your M’Amie thought about it for a moment before observing that the calendar, meaning accumulated years, was not a reliable marker; that some people come of age when they are in their adolescence while others don’t arrive until much later; and still others never truly get there. The age of majority, in the language of the law, is not, in the practice of life, necessarily the age of maturity. Among the very wisest of women, your M’Amie. And when she asked why I asked, I reminded her that your birthday was only days away, as if she needed reminding. “I think we can say she has come of age,” she told me. She said it sort of wistfully, thinking, as I was, of that morning when the world got its first glimpse of you. So you are a woman who has come of age, though you are, at 15 now, some distance from being a woman of a certain age. And some distance from a certain woman of a certain age, the first of her, your, gender to reach the next-to-top rung on the ladder of American public life. I don’t know whether you like her or don’t, and I know and like a lot of people who do and don’t, but she has proved to both sides that “little lady” is over and done with. Your skirt (or your pantsuit?) do not define you, do not limit you. You have come of age in a troubling age. It is of no comfort to your elders that we are as bewildered by our times as you must be, though it is my earnest hope that other things are winning the battle for your attention: school, friends, church, the books you are reading and, of course, the fairways, the great green expanses that you attack almost daily with those titanium shafts and persimmon heads, to the continuing dismay of your competitors. (Your driver cost more than my first car, but so what?). You are prudent to want to know what’s going on in the world but your priorities, for now, should be the world that you can touch and taste, see and smell; your orbit will expand, trust me. Amid the madness of the day my prayer for you, and your sister, is that the insanity will subside, steadily, then disappear, and that the human race will try reason instead of emotion, will begin to rely on its brain rather than its glands. A tall order, but there is nothing wrong with hope, especially in a time of fear. We move on, with hope, because we must; forward, we hope, though the impulse is to step back, to move the stick from “D” to “R.” You are moving on, forward, your transmission firmly in “D.” Keep it there -- though it won’t hurt, and will in fact prevent some hurt, if at times you shift to the “N” position. And when it comes time to move the gearshift, the one that awaits you at your next birthday, well, we’ll cross that bridge, or stop at that traffic signal, when we come to it. In a few days your high school days will begin, to end before you can imagine, and if you doubt it, ask your sister. Yes, the sister who drove you nuts, as you drove her bonkers, but whose love for you matches yours for her. She won’t much longer be prowling through your room, as I suspect you prowled through hers, for her high school days are a memory and now she’s off to college and, keep trusting me, you will each miss the other more than either of your imagines. Two young women, first-year students each. Our hearts, your mom’s and dad’s, M’Amie’s and mine -- if they weren’t so full they might break. To the best of our knowledge that wonderful heart of yours has yet to be broken and, needless to say, I would give anything if I could spare you that singular agony. I cannot. No one can. And I bring it up only because high school can bring it on, that piercing pain that comes when youthful affection subjects itself to reconsideration, then resignation. There will be sorrow, but it will not, not last. (Ask your mom. Or your sister. Or your M’Amie). Oh, I’ve gone on long enough, too long. The search for the right words can exhaust any grandfather who feels for you what I feel for you, and bore the daylights out of the granddaughter he simply but absolutely adores. But I’ll try harder next year. In the meantime, Happy Birthday, Sweetheart! Love, Granddad.

Crime TRUMP: "Homicides last year increased by 17% in America’s fifty largest cities. That’s the largest increase in 25 years. In our nation’s capital, killings have risen by 50 percent. They are up nearly 60% in nearby Baltimore." THE FACTS: Trump's figures come from a Jan. 27 Washington Post article analyzing preliminary FBI crime statistics that won't be finalized until the fall. But violent crime remains lower than it was a decade ago and the rate has been falling for roughly 25 years. "When considering 5- and 10-year trends, the 2014 estimated violent crime total was 6.9 percent below the 2010 level and 16.2 percent below the 2005 level" the FBI reports. TRUMP: "The number of police officers killed in the line of duty has risen by almost 50% compared to this point last year." THE FACTS: Trump mixes up some numbers here. The footnotes to Trump's speech cite a Newsweek article that uses data from the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund about the number of firearms related deaths of law enforcement officers. Most of that jump, to 26 so far this year from 18 fatalities at this point last year, is a result of the killing of five Dallas police officers earlier this month. Overall deaths of officers are up 8 percent in 2016 compared to 2015, according to the organization.

Immigration TRUMP: "The number of new illegal immigrant families who have crossed the border so far this year already exceeds the entire total from 2015." THE FACTS: Trump's numbers are accurate, but they reflect the number of people stopped at the border. Family unit border apprehensions, a proxy for attempts to illegally enter the country, climbed to 51,147 in the first nine months of the 2016 fiscal year. That's 28 percent higher than the number for the entire 12 months of the 2015 fiscal year, according to data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. TRUMP: "My opponent has called for a radical 550% increase in Syrian refugees on top of existing massive refugee flows coming into our country under President Obama." THE FACTS: Clinton has called for the admission of 65,000 refugees from Syria, from the 10,000 President Barack Obama is seeking to admit in the current fiscal year. The screening process for those refugees takes, on average, one to two years.

Economy TRUMP: "Household incomes are down more than $4,000 since the year 2000." THE FACTS: He is correct in that between January 1, 2000 and January 1, 2014, median household incomes were down $4,186. It's also slightly misleading—Trump picked the all-time peak of median household income. Since the peak in 1989, for example, median household income is up, but only by $351 dollars. It would be more accurate, though not much less damning, to say median household income barely went up between 1989 and 2014, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. More recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows some improvement in average hourly wages since the end of 2014.

Taxes TRUMP: "America is one of the highest-taxed nations in the world." THE FACTS: This claim is misleading. The grain of truth is that the U.S. corporate tax rate is one of the highest in the world, although deductions and exclusions shrink actual corporate taxes paid to levels below those in many other countries. However, when it comes to overall tax revenue collected as a share of GDP, the U.S. ranks among the lowest of

the 34 industrialized nations in the Organization for Economic Coordination and Development, according to data provided by the organization. The low ranking reflects in part corporate profits held offshore that go untaxed in the U.S. TRUMP: "While Hillary Clinton plans a massive tax increase, I have proposed the largest tax reduction of any candidate who has declared for the presidential race this year—Democrat or Republican." THE FACTS: Trump's tax plan, which proposed roughly $10 trillion in tax cuts over the next decade, is evolving—and it may not end up containing "the largest tax reduction of any candidate." This week, conservative economists Stephen Moore and Lawrence Kudlow, who are advising his campaign, said a new version that's coming soon would reduce the revenue cuts by about two-thirds.

Iran TRUMP: "Iran is on the path to nuclear weapons." THE FACTS: A nonpartisan Congressional Research Service report in March said the Iran nuclear agreement struck last year has "lessened, although not eliminated, U.S. concerns about Iran’s nuclear program." Under the deal, Iran destroyed the core of its plutonium reactor as part of broader accord to give up or delay its nuclear program in exchange for an easing of U.S.-led sanctions that helped cripple the nation’s economy. The International Atomic Energy Agency has since determined that Iran has removed more than two-thirds of the centrifuges needed for enrichment of nuclear material and reduced its stockpile of highlyenriched uranium. TRUMP: The nuclear deal "gave back to Iran $150 billion and gave us nothing." FACTS: The rhetoric is misleading; the money refers to Iranian assets currently frozen due to sanctions. The U.S. estimates that $55 billion in frozen assets are supposed to be released to Iran. Iranian officials—who say they need the money to buy airliners, improve infrastructure and boost a struggling economy—argue European and Asian banks are reluctant to deal with them because they fear remaining U.S. sanctions that weren’t affected by the nuclear accord.

Islamic State TRUMP: After four years of Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, "ISIS has spread across the region, and the world." THE FACTS: This is misleading. The Islamic State made its most significant gains on the ground in Syria and Iraq after Clinton left office in February 2013 and it is now losing territory. According to the Pentagon and State Department, the group has been pushed from 50 percent of its territory in Iraq and 20 percent in Syria. Nevertheless, the group’s ideology has spread online and helped inspire deadly attacks from Europe to the U.S.

Egypt TRUMP: "Egypt was peaceful," he said. During Clinton’s time as secretary of state, “Egypt was turned over to the radical Muslim brotherhood, forcing the military to retake control.” THE FACTS: Egypt had indeed been peaceful during the 30 years Hosni Mubarak ruled the country, but the upheaval had little to do with Hillary Clinton, and was initially hailed as a sign of democratic progress. The Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsi took over the leadership in 2012 after the Arab Spring paved the way for first free presidential vote in the country’s history. Morsi was ousted in a 2013 military coup, following Clinton’s departure as secretary of state, prompting the Obama administration to suspend military aid.

TRUMP: "My opponent wants to essentially abolish the Second Amendment." THE FACTS: This claim is inaccurate. Clinton has spoken out for modest gun control measures that are permissible under Supreme Court precedent, such as background checks and a ban on assault weapons. She opposes a 2008 ruling that expanded gun rights, but hasn't come close to calling for the abolition of the Second Amendment. Michael Rubens Bloomberg (born February 14, 1942) is an American business magnate, politician, and philanthropist.

Laugh-In Corner NOW YOU KNOW! A child asked his father, "How were people born?" So his father said, "Adam and Eve made babies, then their babies became adults and made babies, and so on." The child then went to his mother, asked her the same question and she told him, "We were monkeys then we evolved to become like we are now." The child ran back to his father and said, "You lied to me!" His father replied, "No, your mom was talking about her side of the family."

“THE PAGES TURNED BACK” (Compiled from White River Journal files)

Thursday, August 6, 1931

ngland was the host today. Farmers and merchants of this community, remembering from last winter the meaning of lack of food and worries over crop failures, today paid a debt of gratitude to needy neighbors in Oklahoma. Thirteen trucks loaded with vegetables, canned fruits, and meat, were on their way to the unemployed and needy at Henryetta, Okla., while England and other communities of Lonoke County celebrated their quick recovery from effects of last year’s drought. Bushels of peas, sacks of potatoes, corn, onions, cabbages, carrots, snap beans, okra and tomatoes were loaded into the trucks by farmers. Each sack was tagged with the name of the farmer making the donation, making it a personal gift from residents of the England community. Mrs. R. E. Harper of Des Arc, Bayou Home Demonstration Club, placed second in the egg production in the State for the month of June in flocks with from 50 to 150 birds. Her 117 White Leghorn hens produced 21.3 eggs per bird for the month. Mrs. R. R. Farris of the Biscoe/Brasfield Home Demonstration Club, is competing for the $95.00 Singer Sewing Machine given to the Club Woman who has the best house dress in the house dress contest. Mrs. W. H. Crockett, a member of the same club, is competing in the afternoon dress contest for the $35.00 hall mirror. Mrs. Farris won first prize in the county clothing contest for party dress while Mrs. Crockett placed first in the afternoon dress contest. Arrangements are being made to hold the best fair ever held in Prairie County this fall. The following committee

has the affair in charge and is arranging the program: Albert Erwin, J. A. Wright, Mrs. Perry Bellville, Will Reinhardt, V. D. Braner, R. E. Harper, S. L. Wesson, G. G. Purvis, Mrs. W. R. Deneer, A. H. White, Chris Kristetter, Forest Gray, O. J. Miller, John H. Wegs, George Screeton, Mrs. Arch Huffer, W. T. Morton, Mrs. Arthur Clayton, and Sam Stone. The Des Arc Mercantile Co. has made changes in their display of merchandise in their big store this week which adds to the attractiveness of their stock. Chancellor Dodge and his stenographer, Mr. Sherman Atkinson, of Little Rock, held a term of the Chancery Court here Tuesday. Again we are called upon to chronicle the death of one of our county’s oldest and most highly esteemed citizens, Mr. D. J. Burks, who died at his home in this city Tuesday morning about 10:15 at the age of 74 years. Mr. Burks settled at Hickory Plains upon coming to Arkansas and spent most of his life in that vicinity as planter, merchant and postmaster until he moved to Des Arc a few years ago. Funeral services were conducted at the family residence at 2:30 Wednesday afternoon. Society Happenings: Mrs. E. B. Garland entertained at Bridge on Monday evening in honor of her guest, Mrs. J. D. Alstine of Henning, Tenn. Mrs. B. E. Wray entertained the Bridge Club at her home in this city on Wednesday morning. Mrs. L. M. Crow entertained at Bridge at her home in this city Tuesday evening. Miss Faye Loretz, stenographer in the Attorney General’s office was over from Little Rock to spend the weekend at home here with family.

he end of coffee rationing, approximately seven months after it started, was announced last night by President Roosevelt in his address to the nation. He added that, “we also expect increased allowances of sugar.” He termed the developments a tangible result of vast increases in available shipping space and greater success in the war against U-boats. FDR says “Payroll savings is our greatest single factor in protecting ourselves against inflation.” Mr. John Bethell of Des Arc received a letter from L. C. Baker, Managing Director, Arkansas Chain Store Council, stating, “The fact that we were able to move these potatoes from your area to Canada with them arriving in first class condition speaks highly for the quality of Prairie County potatoes.”

Ross. Also present was Miss Billie Jo Morton of Oak Prairie, County 4-H president. The Hickory Plains club came about 6. About 1 1/2 miles from the camp they had a flat and had to walk in. After supper, we divided into two camps. Co. A elected Joe Speight of Hickory Plains as lieutenant and Charles Purvis from Biscoe as sergeant. Co. B elected Frank Price Jr. of Hickory Plains as their lieutenant and Vernon Mertens of Biscoe as sergeant. At 10:30, Bruce Schratz blew taps and lights in all cabins went out. Des Arc Lumber Co. announces the employment of Mr. Dee M. Baker in charge of farm machinery, trucks and tractors. He has many years of experience with the International-McCormick Deering Line of equipment.

Grand Prairie Quilt Society in quarterly “Sit & Sew” meeting The Grand Prairie Quilt Society met on July 13 for their quarterly Sit 'n Sew at the Stuttgart Public Library with 9 members present. Glenda opened the meeting with the thought for the day...." I don't need therapy, I just need more time with my sewing machine." The June minutes and treasurer's report were read and approved. Belated June Happy Birthday greetings were extended to Cindy, Michele and Marsha...Happy Birthday! Happy July Birthday to Winnie, Happy Birthday, Winnie. The June Country Quilt II Retreat was discussed with everyone saying what a good time they had, and they can't wait until next year. The 2017 Quilt Retreat will be June 2-4. Call Marsha at 870-673-1430 for registration information. Maeola reported on the June Stitching Circle at the Plantation museum at Scott on June 28th. Lydia gave the program on Macramé...."Macramé comes from a 13th century Arabic weavers' word "migramah" meaning "Fringe." This refers to the decorative fringes on camels and horses which help to keep flies off in the hot desert regions of northern Africa. One of the earliest recorded uses of macramé style knots as decoration appeared in the carvings of the Babylonians and Assyrians. Macramé traveled from north Africa with the Moors during their conquests to Spain, then to France and then throughout Europe. Macramé became a specialty of Genoa where it was know as "Punto a Groppo" which is Italian for "knotted lace", also an ancestor of Bobbin Lace-making. Sailor helped spread the art to other places using the long months at sea to make macramé objects to sell or barter when stopping at various ports. They even used macramé to make their own gear like hammocks, belts and bell fringes. Queen Mary and Queen Charlotte popularized it at the English court. It disappeared for awhile and came back into vogue during Queen Victoria's reign where it was a hobby for homemakers. In the 1960's macramé became popular again in American and Europe to create plant hangers, bracelets, belts, etc. Vogue magazine brought out a book on the subject elevating it to the rank of "modern-chic." There were very few homes that didn't have either a pot-hanger or a macramé owl. Nowadays macramé has evolved into a respected art form in its own right. Some large designer houses...Dior, Chanel and Ferragamo have used macramé in their haute couture and macramé dresses can even be seen on Rodeo Drive. Maeola and Marsha also attended Homegoods Day at the Plantation museum on July 9th. Homemakers and crafters from around Arkansas were there to explain and show their goods. Demonstrations and items that were demonstrated were corn husk dolls, weaving on a loom, spinning, old fashioned soaps, old timey toys, sewing on a treadle sewing machine, honey extraction,and local honey, and also free homemade ice cream. Mary Harrison of Little Rock demonstrated the treadle sewing machine. As she put together crazy quilt blocks, she told about the history of the treadle machine. It is powered mechanically by a foot pedal that is pushed back and forth by the operator's foot. Isaac Singer was the father of the modern sewing machine. The treadle sewing machine is one of the most enduring pieces of technology ever devised. Still in production and still in use around the world, the treadle's reliable design has made it a favorite since 1830. She also mentioned that the sewing machine was as important to the woman of the house and helped to settle this county as the plow was to the farmer. Mrs. Harrison also showed several of her quilts. One was made of fabric remnants from a blouse factory in London, England. She lived in England for about 10 years. She also said that hand-quilting will make a softer quilt than machine-quilting. She demonstrated her fivesided crazy quilt block. Mrs. Harrison was invited to visit the quilt society at a future meeting to explain her technique. Paula Lane and Earlene Carter from the Ozark Folk Center helped visitors make Button Whizzies and corn husk dolls. The Simmons family of Scott demonstrated

their honey extractor and guests sampled honey comb and creamed honey. Dana of Mountain View showed tapestry weaving and loom weaving. Glenda, also of Mountain View, was spinning cotton yarn on a spinning wheel. She made it look so easy. Shirley Cleek of Sherwood had many examples of fine crochet. Troy Odom was making note pads on a portable hand printing press. Linda Odom displayed her homemade soaps and salves. It all smelled really good! Old Business: Glenda is still researching the Ugly Quilt/bedroll program for homeless shelters. More information on this is coming. New Business: Glenda reminded everyone to turn in their volunteer hours to RSVP. Show and Share: Shelley showed how she took her door name tag from the quilt retreat, embroidered it and made it into a pocket on her tote bag. Everyone thought that was a good idea and several want to try it. She also made some of the zippered/window notion bags from Nola's pattern at quilt retreat. Winnie had several cute table runners and a lovely duck panel quilt top and a Xmas table centerpiece. Glenda had her finished Confetti quilt top which she called her "comedy of errors" but we didn't see anything amiss with it. It is quite a feat of symmetry. She also showed a 9-patch house block also made from Nola's pattern. Jean had a interesting "Short Stacks" quilt top in black and white and asked for input in arranging her picnic quilt pieces. After the meeting, members pulled out their projects got busy with the main business of the day. Sewing machines whirred, scissors snipped, and needles flew in and out until time for lunch. Stories were shared of their adventures at the quilt retreat. Everyone was glad to visit with Michele and Cindy during lunch. We all wished we didn't have to wait a year until the next retreat. Kaitlyn and Betty won the door prizes of cute little jeans totes. After lunch, work resumed on all the UFO's (unfinished objects). The Treasure Table was also perused for a lucky find as Carol Roberson had donated several quilt books and magazines from Doris Jacobs. After lunch, everyone settled down to finishing a few Winnie more stitches. worked on a new log cabin pattern, Glenda finished up her exploding blocks, Shelley helped her niece, Kaitlyn, sew a hot/cold pack for her mother, Betty helped Winnie sort her blocks, and Marsha worked on her pinwheel quilt. The next meeting will be August 10 at 9:30 at the Stuttgart Public Library. Come join us!

FARM/HOME Brantley elected chairman of Arkansas rice group The Arkansas Rice Producers’ Group board of directors elected Dow Brantley of England as Chairman at its mid-year business meeting in Brinkley, Arkansas on Friday, July 22. As chairman of the rice producers’ organization, Brantley also serves as chairman of the Arkansas Rice Federation, the advocate for all segments of the state's rice industry. He replaces Gary Sebree, a rice farmer from Almyra. David Gairhan of Jonesboro was elected vice-chairman of the group. Brantley is a third generation family farmer and a partner of Brantley Farming Company. He joined the family operation in 2000, producing rice, corn, cotton, and soybeans. Brantley is a 1998 graduate of the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville where he received a bachelor of science in agricultural, food and life sciences.

After graduation, he worked at the USDA in Washington, D.C., before returning to the family farm. Brantley is also active in the National Cotton Council, USA Rice Federation, Arkansas Ag Council, and Arkansas Farm Bureau. “I look forward to working with the rice farmers of Arkansas to tackle the many issues facing us,” said Brantley. “As Producers’ Group Chairman I plan to focus on farmer profitability with a key emphasis on farm bill development, market expansion and reducing the regulatory red tape that faces us in Little Rock and Washington. The rice industry is vital to the economy of Arkansas and the members of the Arkansas Rice Federation are working hard to insure that we maintain our position as the top rice producing state in the nation.” Brantley and his wife, Amy, have three daughters, Caroline (5), Virginia (3), and Ruth (11 months).

USA Rice elects new leadership, Arkansas continues to head group USA Rice’s new chairman, rice merchant Brian King, with Erwin Keith, Inc., will assume the two-year post on August 1, taking over for Dow Brantley, an Arkansas rice farmer who has been chairman of the group since 2014. “Brian is going to make a great chairman,” Brantley said. “He is well versed in U.S. rice industry issues having served on the board of the USA Rice Merchants’ Association and as current chair of the USA Rice Western Hemisphere Subcommittee.” King is a rice merchant with more than 23 years of

rice and grain marketing experience. He has been a member of the USA Rice Merchants’ Association since 2005 and has served on numerous USA Rice committees, including Sustainability, World Market Price, and the Biotechnology Task Force. King also is an alumni of the Rice Leadership Development Program. “Dow Brantley guided us through some challenging times and logged countless miles as an ambassador for our industry,” said King. “Many times he opened his farm and home up to visitors from Canada, Iraq, and most recently let the P.F.

Chang’s folks come film a commercial at his farm. And while he is stepping down as USA Rice Chairman, Dow will continue to serve on the Agricultural Policy Advisory Committee providing advice to the government on trade policy matters.” “This is an exciting time for the American rice industry with many challenges and opportunities ahead,” said Betsy Ward, president and CEO of USA Rice. “I look forward to working with Chairman-elect King as we tackle these issues on behalf of the entire U.S. industry.”

Brantley runs 10,000 acre farm Dow Brantley III runs a 10,000-acre farm, has worked at the White House and testified before Congress on rice markets and the farm bill. “I grew up wanting to farm, and I’m fortunate that my parents were in the position to give me that opportunity,” said Brantley. He is chairman of the Arkansas Rice Federation, the Arkansas Rice Producers Group and the Lonoke County Farm Bureau, and he serves with other agriculture-related organizations. “I just wake up every day eager to go and to continue to try and grow our farm and our family’s business, and part of that growth is staying active in the community in these agricultural organizations,” he said. Brantley has received the Stanley E. Reed Leadership Award from the Arkansas Farm Bureau Foundation. After earning a degree from the University of Arkansas, he worked in Washington for two years, mostly at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency. Brantley also served with President Clinton’s advance team. Brantley works daily with his father, Laudies Dow Brantley II, who once told him farmers work half days. “You’re going to work 12 hours a day — you just get to pick which 12 you are going to work.”

early October, but have only been seen in kudzu patches. He noted that one did crawl across his desk but he’d just come in from the field and it probably rode back to the office with him. “So far, we’ve only collected specimens for educational purposes, to show farmers what to look for,” Goodson said. “As few as there are this year, we probably won’t have much trouble with them in 2016,” Goodson said. “But they may be a problem in 2017.” It’s too late in the year for the pests to do much damage to the state’s soybean crop, Seiter said. “Kudzu bugs have not been found at the recommended treatment threshold of one nymph per sweep in soybeans in Arkansas,” Seiter said. “To our knowledge, no insecticide applications have gone out for kudzu bugs.” “Most soybean fields in Arkansas are far enough along that treatment-level populations are unlikely to occur this year,” Seiter said, “but growers should be vigilant going into 2016 as the distribution of the kudzu bug continues to expand.” “We do think we’ll find a few soybean fields

Scouting for Kudzu Bug in Arkansas University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture entomologist, said kudzu bugs have been found in several soybean fields in Crittenden County, the first location where they were found in the state. Russell Parker, interim staff chair for the Crittenden County Extension Office, said he found the pests in three kudzu patches in 2014. In 2015, they began showing up in soybean fields. “When they reach a threshold level in kudzu, they begin to move out into other legumes, especially soybeans,” Parker said. “We’ve been monitoring them pretty closely, and nearly all the crop consultants in the county have seen kudzu bugs in soybeans.” Parker noted that kudzu bugs in soybeans have not reached threshold levels for which the extension service would recommend pesticide treatments. Single kudzu bugs have been found in soybeans in Mississippi and Lee counties this year, Seiter said. In the remaining four counties — Ashley, Saint Francis, Phillips and Poinsett — the insects have been found only in kudzu patches. Robert Goodson, Phillips County extension agricultural agent, said the pests showed up in

next year that will need to be treated,” Seiter said. Growers should scout their fields with sweep nets, just as they would for other insect pests, Seiter said. The threshold level to treat for kudzu bugs is an average of one per sweep. For example, the threshold for treatment is reached if a total of 25 kudzu bugs are counted after 25 sweeps of the net. That’s a pretty high threshold, Seiter said. “It takes quite a few kudzu bugs to do damage to a soybean crop.” Seiter said it typically takes the pests one to two years to establish a population density in a new area that is high enough to become a problem for farms. He said the kudzu bugs’ spread nationwide has slowed a little this year, so it may take a little longer for them to establish that population level. Kudzu bugs were first seen in Arkansas in 2014, and only in Crittenden County that year. For more information on kudzu bugs, contact your county extension office, or download our fact sheet here.

USA Rice Elects New Leadership, Arkansas still heads locally The USA Rice board of directors said Thursday that it elected Brian King of Erwin Keith Inc. as its new chairman. The board voted for King during its annual meeting last week. Erwin Keith Inc. has two locations, in McCrory and Wynne. King, a rice merchant with more than 23 years of rice and grain marketing experience, will assume the two-year post on Aug. 1, according to a news release. He is replacing Dow Brantley, an Arkansas rice farmer who had been chairman of the group since 2014. In the news release, Brantley said King will make a great chairman because he is "well versed in U.S. rice industry issues," having served on the board of the USA Rice Merchants' Association and as current chair of the USA Rice Western Hemisphere Subcommittee. King has been a member of the USA Rice Merchants' Association since 2005 and is a graduate of the Rice Leadership Development Program. He also served on the organization's Sustainability and World Market Price committees as well as its Biotechnology Task Force. King told Arkansas Business that he would continue to advocate for the lifting of the trade embargo on Cuba. He's traveled there three times and said they want rice from here but hand have been tied by the U.S. government. King also said he would like to see the rice industry become more unified. Brantley will continue with USA Rice on its Agricultural Policy Advisory Committee.

Send cards to 9019 Waters Lane, Carlisle, AR 72024. Papaw and I went to Benton Saturday evening to attend Caleb Cochran’s 11th birthday party. There was a big gang of kids in the house because it started storming. We stayed afterwards for supper. Tracy had a delicious salad and beef & chicken enchiladas. That was first time we’ve seen them since early June. Mary Ingle passed out and fell at her house recently. She broke her nose and is skinned up pretty bad and she has a black eye. She spent four days in Unity Hospital. Send her a card to 5860 Cross Roads Rd., Des Arc, AR 72040. John and Mary Ingle were glad to have their company Monday.

Monday, Clara Clark I attended a dear friend, Diane Price’s Memorial Service at Gospel Mission in Des Arc. Monday night, Vanessa Graham and I helped King Kat and crew feed a large crowd at Riverfront Park. Chris Harrison had to put the thermometer in the middle of the kitchen, in front of 5-350 degree fryers. Last I heard it was 122 degrees in there. Never knew highest temperature. We know it’s hot, without know temperture. We thank God for air conditioning. Mamie Graham took Bobby Leo Graham to VA Hospital at 2AM Tuesday for kidney stones. They put in stints then crushed the stones. He was to come home Wednesday. Mail him a card,12009 Hamricville Lane, Ward, AR 72176. Charlotte Wrigley has been sick for a long time. She was taken to Searcy by ambulance to Unity Hospital until she got stable enough to move her to LR St. Vincent’s. She has been anemic a long time and lost a lot of blood. I have no idea how many units of blood she’s had to have. She had 20 inches of her colon removed Tuesday. She is in ICU. Send her cards to hospital or at home, PO Box 398, Hickory Plains, AR 72066. Bob Crider took Clara Clark to doctor’s appointment Tuesday. They got out of doctor’s office late. They had lunch at The Cracker Barrel. I went out to visit Granny Nell Price and Aunt Polly before Bob and Clara got back. I was glad to get to meet Pawpaw Bully’s brother, Bo’s two sons, Lee and Eric Price. Also met Larry, a son of Bully’s sister, Jenny, all of LA. Grace King came during that time and brought cake and a big pot of soup. Granny was enjoying the soup before I left.

They got on the road from New Mexico as soon as they got word Bully Price had passed away. Pawpaw Bully Price’s visitation Tuesday night was overwhelming with all the people that attended to show their love of this family. There were around 400 attended. Others that have known them for years were there, but I always say it’s noisy there when Hickory Plains people gather for a visitation. We all get loud. Imagine us all liking to talk. HA! But it’s like a Reunion (not meaning disrespect) but I said if the loved one laying there could join in, they would. In our Community, when one hurts, we all hurt. The Graveside for Pawpaw Bully was very nice Wednesday morning. He would have been so proud. The grandsons were dressed in overalls like he was. It was hot, but Bro. John Tackett did part of the Graveside . He said Bully was a Patriarch and formed a tribe (all the Prices). Bro. Sjostrand did the last part and talked very well cause he has known the family along time. Sis Joan Tackett played the Bugle “Taps” while they folded the flag. The whole family Thanks the Methodist Church for being open for bathrooms, AC, refreshments. I went on to the house to help and enjoy time with the family and met folksfrom everywhere HA!

Another very hot day. It looked as though we might get some rain, But so far no sign. We had a great service at church that morning and evening. We were glad to see Dale and Evelyn Greenwalt back in church. They have had health problems for a while. We had to cancel John’s eye appointment last week.

Maddox Ward at State Park sign after earning Junior Naturalist badge Maddox Ward, eightyear old son of Bradley and Jennifer Ward of Des Arc, recently visited the Lower White River Museum to view the special exhibit currently on display. This exibit of the White River by Chris Engholm of Bentonville, dipicts life on the White River as it was and as it is. During Maddox’s visit, he participated in the Scavenger Hunt and earned his Junior Naturalist badge with the completed scavenger list. Maddox also visited the dog-trot syle log cabin next

door to the museum. Maddox said he wanted to build a cabin like that someday to live in and he asked his Aunt Susan (Susan Winkler, Museum aid at the state park) to crochet a washcloth to put in the log cabin. Maddox felt that the pioneer women would have made their own washcloths and wanted them to have something that would have been useful to them in their time. Maddox ended his visit by putting a washcloth in the water bowl in the kitchen of the cabin. He

was also had his picture made at the State Park sign after earning his Junior Naturalist badge. Maddox is the grandson of Ronnie and Sarah Ward and Sam and Teresa Conder, all of Des Arc. Maddox’s great grandmother, Sue Berry, was the first museum director here in 1973. His other great grandmothers are Ruby Conder and Nina Carter, both of Des Arc and Evelyn Ward of Carlisle. Maddox will be in the Third grade at Des Arc Elementary this fall.

Special Needs Bus to Sunshine School in Searcy

Just a reminder that passing a stopped school bus any time the red overhead warning lights are flashing is dangerous and illegal. You may not pass from either direction when these lights are on. It is also illegal to cross in front of or behind the bus at an intersection if the red lights are flashing. This also means that you may not even creep by the bus at the High School if the red lighst are on. We realize it may be inconvenient, but for safety reasons, Arkansas State Law requires the driver of the bus to turn on red lights any time students are loading or unloading. As soon as the transfer bus arrives at the High School, some students are let off the bus. At this time, the driver activates his lights and they remain on until he/she is finished unloading and loading. Usually by this time, other buses have arrived to load and their lights will then activate so if at all possible, all drivers are urged to avoid Seventh Street by the High School in the afternoon. If you have any questions about the bus routes or the bus your child should be riding, please contact Howard Hinshaw, Transportation Supervisor at the High School at 870-256-4167.

WHITE RIVER JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JULY 28, 2016

D3 is local Success Story

Sheriff Gary Burnett,

D3 Auto Sales began as a two-car wholesale lot in 2011. Dare Saul started the company by helping his mother-in law (Vicki Wood Skarda) in selling a couple of old Cadillacs left to her by her late father, Floyd Wood. Dare cleaned up the rigs and sold them on the side of the road by Darrell Saul Farms Inc. located on Hwy. 11 southwest of Des Arc, where he was employed. Dare enjoyed the process and the extra money and began to look for other bargain deals around the state to buy and sell. He eventually purchased a three-Car Hauler which gave him the ability to go pick up more than one car at a time, all the while keeping his day job at the fish farm. D3 Auto's big break came when Dare decided left, accepting citation to order a software package to keep track of his car expenses. The software package was delivered by Market Area Manager for Credit Acceptance Corps. (CAC) Bobby Eubanks. Eubanks introduced the ability to finance everyone regardless of credit history with his Deputy Secretary of State. company known as CAC Burnett was first elected “This made a lot of in 2006 and took office in sense,” Dare said, “beJanuary 2007. He will end his fifth term as Prairie County Sheriff & Colletor HILLARY! on December 31, 2016. Sheriff Burnett said, “I At right: Arkansas’ delhave enjoyed serving the egates to the Democratpeople of Prairie County Convention in ic and it has truly been an Philadelphia, cast their honor for me to be your votes for Hillary ClinSheriff and Collector. As alton, former Arkansas’ ways, if anyone has a conFirst Lady, for Presicern or problem, don’t hesdent on Tuesday itate to contact me or visit evening. me at my office in Des Arc.”

Prairie County sheriff honored for service While attending a banquet on July 7, 2016, at the Arkansas Sheriff’s Conference, Prairie County Sheriff Gary Burnett of Des Arc, was recognized for his ten years of service to the people of Prairie County. He was presented with a Capital Citation inscribed with dates ofservice, The award cited Sheriff Burnett for his years of dedicated service and was signed by =Secretary of State Mark Martin. It was presented by Joseph Wood,

cause I knew I could sell more cars if he could finance. The only problem was I needed 10 cars, an office building, signage, and a large fee to be eligible to start up with them.” Small, and with limited cash, D3 still only owned two to three cars at a time. Dare's parents, Dean and Kathie Saul, helped him with the fee and Dare went to work getting the stipulations and the day that D3 signed with CAC, he ended up borrowing a few cars from friends and family to qualify. Today, D3 Auto Sales has over 50 cars in inventory in two different locations (Des Arc and Beebe) which can be viewed on their website d3autosales.com. In early 2014, D3 moved to "the Four Mile Corner" west of Des Arc after outgrowing the grass lot on Hwy. 11 west of Des Arc that Dare's grandfather, Darrell Saul, graciously let him borrow for a time. The Four Mile Corner, Dare said, needed much work but was an ideal spot, and with the help of Ray Bell (who owns the lot) and Dare's Family and team, D3 whipped up the lot into retail shape! In 2014 and 2015, D3

Dare Saul, right, and Bobby Eubanks was the number one CAC dealer in the state for most contracts and is currently tied for the top spot year to date in 2016. D3 Auto now has the ability to finance through many different lenders with interest rates as low as 1% with approved credit. "People are our best asset, thanks to our cus-

tomers, team members, and our vendors. I owe a lot of credit to my team- Karen Bell, office manager and sales manager in Beebe, David Bankster. We would not be here without them. We now have hired five employees and have plans to continue to grow. Four Years and Counting!"said Dare Saul.
