Group opposes proposed annexation
CHARLES GOODIN
Editor
NASHVILLE - A group of
area landowners filed a petition Monday expressing
their disagreement with a
proposal to annex additional
property into the city limits.
A total of 18 Howard County landowners, most residing
in the Peachtree and Fox Run
communities, signed the petition, which has been filed
at both the Howard County
Clerk’s office and with the
city of Nashville.
The petition is in response
to a city limits expansion
Eighteen landowners ile
petition against city limit expansion
proposed by Mayor Billy
Ray Jones in January and
presented to city aldermen
by Code Enforcement Officer David Johnson at their
February meeting. Several
land owners were also present at that meeting, voicing
opposition to the move due
to a slight increase in property taxes, additional costs
for city services that would
result from the annexation
and the need to comply with
city ordinances.
Areas that would become
part of Nashville under the
plan include the Northern
Hills Estates, portions of Old
Airport Road, a nursing home
on North Main St., properties
located directly behind Lawrence Termite and Pest Control, a swath of the Prescott
Highway, a portion of Collins
Rd., two parcels of land on
Legacy Lane, six additional
parcels of land on Sand Hill

states.
Jones said Tuesday that
the issue will be on the
agenda for the city council’s
March meeting, and reiterated that his support for the
measure stems primarily
from a desire to incorporate
properties already served by
city services into the town.

TOLLETTE - Complaints
from several Tollette residents over seeping water

Residents had made complaints about water coming

broken pipes around the
city, some of which had
reportedly been producing
wet, sloppy messes for several months now.
The complaints also encompass the large number
of vacant and dilapidated

NASHVILLE - Local community activist Albert Motta announced his resignation from three area boards
this week and said he and
his family will be leaving the
county sometime in May.
Motta, 49, served as
chairman of the Howard
County Democratic Central
Committee, the Howard
County Election Commission and the Elberta Arts
Council board until Tuesday, when he submitted
letters of resignation to
each organization. He said
Wednesday his departure
from the area is rooted in
the need to care for his
wife’s mother, who resides
in Arizona.
“We knew someday that
we would have to take care
of Vicky’s mom. We didn’t
know that it would happen
this soon, but her heart is
working at 1/3 capacity,
and her kidneys are failing.
She needs around the clock
care and it falls to Vicky to
take care of her mother,”
he explained. “We didn’t
get married to be alone. We
didn’t have children to have
them raised by one of us,
and not knowing how long
it’s going to be, we need to
be there to support Vicky as
she helps her mom through
the winter of her life.”
His resignation submitted to the Elberta Arts
Council was accepted with
regret by the members.
“We hate to lose him.
He’s been a great president
and has done a lot to help
us, as well as others in the
area. He’s been an asset
to the community in general,” said longtime Elberta
Arts participant and former
president Cindy Petty.
Fellow board member
Mike Graves also expressed
regret at Motta’s resignation.
“Life is not going to be as
interesting in Howard County without Albert Motta,”
Graves said.
Motta’s resignation from
the election commission is
a more complicated matter, as notification must be
made to a wide variety of
county and state officials.
Among the groups that
are to be notified of the
resignation of a Democratic election commissioner
is the county Democratic
committee. Motta notified
the group during their Tuesday night monthly meeting
and the committee accepted the resignation, naming
Dierks teacher Larry Jones
to replace Motta on the
commission.
Motta also submitted his
resignation as chairman of
the Democratic committee

Facts & Factions
At a time when polls show public opinion turning
against the Democrats, some Republicans seem to be
turning against each other. Even with the prospect
of being able to win control of the Senate in this fall's
elections, some Republicans are busy manufacturing
ammunition for their own circular firing squad.
A Republican faction's demonization of their own
Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell, is a classic
example. If you listen to some of those who consider
themselves the only true
conservatives, you would
never guess that Senator
ThOmas
McConnell received a lifesOWELL
time 90 percent ranking
Creators
by the American ConserSyndicate
vative Union — and in
one recent year had a 100
percent ranking.
Ann Coulter — whose
conservative credentials nobody has ever challenged
— points out in her column that Mitch McConnell
has not only led the fight for conservative principles
repeatedly, but has been to the right of Ted Cruz on
immigration issues.
Someone once said that, in a war, truth is the first
casualty. That seems to be the case for some in this
internal war among Republicans. As the late Daniel
Patrick Moynihan said, "You are entitled to your own
opinion, but not to your own facts."
Why should those of us who are not Republicans be
concerned about any of this?
Fortunately or unfortunately, we have a two-party
system in this country. And — very unfortunately —
we are at a crucial point in the history of America, and
perhaps approaching a point of no return.
The unfolding disaster of ObamaCare is only the
most visible symptom of a far deeper danger from a
lawless administration in Washington that unilaterally
changes laws passed by Congress. President Obama
has nearly three more years to continue doing irreparable damage to the fundamental basis of American
government and Americans' freedom.
Only Republican control of the Senate can rein in
the lawless Obama administration, which can otherwise load up the federal courts with lawless judges,
who will be dismantling the rule of law and destroying the rights of the people, for decades after Barack
Obama himself is long gone from the White House.
Once that happens, even a future Republican majority, led by people with the kind of ideological purity
that the Republican dissidents want, cannot undo the
damage.
The Senate's power to confirm or not confirm
presidential nominees to the federal courts is the only
thing that can prevent Barack Obama from leaving that
kind of toxic legacy in the federal courts, including the
Supreme Court.
Only Republican control of both houses of Congress
can repeal, or even seriously revise, ObamaCare.
And only Republican control of both houses of Congress plus the White House can begin to reverse the
many lawless, reckless and dangerous policies of the
Obama administration, at home and overseas.
This year's elections and the 2016 presidential election may be among the most important elections in the
history of this country, and can determine what kind
of country this will be for years — and even generations — to come.
Those Republicans who seem ready to jeopardize
their own party's chances of winning these two crucial
elections by following a rule-or-ruin fight against fellow
Republicans may claim to be following their ideals. But
headstrong self-righteousness is not idealism, and it is
seldom a way to advance any cause.
Politics, like war, is a question of power. If you don't
have power, you can make fiery speeches or even
conduct attention-getting filibusters, but that does not
fundamentally change anything. And it has accomplished nothing in this case.
No doubt there can be legitimate differences of
opinion about tactics and strategy on particular issues. But, if you don't have power, these are just empty
clashes over debating points.
Certainly there has been much for which the Republican leadership has deserved to be criticized over the
years — and this column has made such criticisms for
decades. But, when the question is whether Mitch McConnell is preferable to Harry Reid as Majority Leader
in the Senate, that is not even a close call.
If the rule-or-ruin faction among Republicans ends
up giving the Democrats another Senate majority under Harry Reid, not only the Republican Party but the
entire nation, and generations yet unborn, will end up
paying the price.

Buds of the socialist spring
“Boys from another
school pulled out the severed head of a classmate
while fishing in a pond. His
whole family had died. Had
they eaten him first? Or had
he survived the deaths of his
parents only to be killed by a
cannibal? No one knew; but
such questions were commonplace for the children of
Ukraine in 1933. ... Yet cannibalism was, sometimes,
a victimless crime. Some
mothers and fathers killed
their children and ate them.
... But other parents asked
their children to make use
of their own bodies if they
passed away. More than one
Ukrainian child had to tell
a brother or sister: ‘Mother
says that we should eat her
if she dies.’”
-- Timothy Snyder, “Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin” (2010)
WASHINGTON -- While
Vladimir Putin, Stalin’s
spawn, ponders what to
do with what remains of
Ukraine, remember: Nine
years before the January
1942 Wannsee Conference,
at which the Nazis embarked
on industrialized genocide,
Stalin deliberately inflicted
genocidal starvation on
Ukraine.
To fathom the tangled
forces, including powerful
ones of memory, at work in
that singularly tormented
place, begin with Snyder’s
stunning book. Secretary of
State John Kerry has called
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
“a 19th-century act in the
GEORGE
WILL
Washington
Post
21st century.” Snyder reminds us that “Europeans
deliberately starved Europeans in horrific numbers in
the middle of the 20th century.” Here is Snyder’s distillation of a Welsh journalist’s
description of a Ukrainian
city:
“People appeared at 2
o’clock in the morning to
queue in front of shops that
did not open until 7. On an
average day 40,000 people
would wait for bread. Those
in line were so desperate to
keep their places that they
would cling to the belts of
those immediately in front
of them. ... The waiting lasted
all day, and sometimes for
two. ... Somewhere in line a
woman would wail, and the
moaning would echo up and
down the line, so that the
whole group of thousands
sounded like a single animal
with an elemental fear.”
This, which occurred
about as close to Paris as
Washington is to Denver,
was an engineered famine,
the intended result of Stalin’s
decision that agriculture
should be collectivized and
the “kulaks” -- prosperous
farmers -- should be “liquidated as a class.” In January
1933, Stalin, writes Snyder,
sealed Ukraine’s borders so
peasants could not escape
and sealed the cities so peasants could not go there to
beg. By spring, more than
10,000 Ukrainians were dying each day, more than the
6,000 Jews who perished
daily in Auschwitz at the
peak of extermination in the
spring of 1944.
Soon many Ukrainian children resembled “embryos
out of alcohol bottles” (Arthur Koestler’s description)
and there were, in Snyder’s
words, “roving bands of
cannibals”: “In the villages
smoke coming from a cottage chimney was a suspicious sign, since it tended
to mean that cannibals were
eating a kill or that families
were roasting one of their
members.”
Snyder, a Yale historian, is
judicious about estimates of
Ukrainian deaths from hunger and related diseases, settling on an educated guess of
approximately 3.3 million, in
1932-33. He says that when
“the Soviet census of 1937
found 8 million fewer people
than projected,” many of
the missing being victims
of starvation in Ukraine and
elsewhere (and the children
they did not have), Stalin
“had the responsible demographers executed.”
Putin, who was socialized
in the Soviet-era KGB apparatus of oppression, aspires
to reverse the Soviet Union’s
collapse, which he considers
“the greatest geopolitical
catastrophe of the [20th]
century.” Herewith a final
description from Snyder of
the consequences of the
Soviet system, the passing of
which Putin so regrets:
“One spring morning,
amidst the piles of dead
peasants at the Kharkiv
market, an infant suckled
the breast of its mother,
whose face was a lifeless
gray. Passersby had seen
this before ... that precise
scene, the tiny mouth, the
last drops of milk, the cold
nipple. The Ukrainians had
a term for this. They said to
themselves, quietly, as they
passed: ‘These are the buds
of the socialist spring.’”
U.S. policymakers, having allowed their wishes to
father their thoughts, find
Putin incomprehensible. He
is a barbarian but not a monster, and hence no Stalin.
But he has been coarsened,
in ways difficult for civilized
people to understand, by
certain continuities, institutional and emotional, with
an almost unimaginably vicious past. And as Ukraine,
a bubbling stew of tensions
and hatreds, struggles with
its identity and aspirations,
Americans should warily remember William Faulkner’s
aphorism: “The past is never
dead. It’s not even past.”

Candidate
forum planned
for mid-april
D.E. Ray
Contributing Editor
NASHVILLE - A candidates’
forum has been hosted every election year in Howard
County in recent memory.
The event, put on by the
Howard County Democratic
Central Committee, is set this
year for Tues., April 15.
The group set the event
and discussed details at
their monthly meeting Tuesday night. Chairman Albert
Motta proposed that the
menu for the event be brisket and sides - a meal that
committee member, Nashville fire chief and Quorum
Court member Jerry Harwell
had agreed to prepare if the
committee purchased the
food. The committee approved the idea, and also
asked vice chair LaJeana
Jones to contact the foodservice staff at Nashville
Nursing Home to provide
deserts and servers for the
event, which they have done
in the past.
The committee had also
been approached about
holding a joint event at the
same time and location. The
group tentatively approved
the idea of a debate between
county level candidates,
but several members opposed the idea of having a
Republican participant in
an event paid for solely by
Democrats. Other organizers
of the proposed debate had
suggested a debate between
the contested races for the
District 19 legislative seat,
Howard County sheriff, circuit clerk and possibly Justice of the Peace positions.
One of the other groups
involved had proposed including Justin Gonzales, who
does not face a challenger
in the Republican primary,
as well as Matt Smith and
Jeremy Ross, who are facing
each other in the Democratic
primary and then will face
Gonzales in the race for the
legislative seat.
Also at the meeting the
group heard a report from
the state Democratic meeting this past Saturday. A
representative from the local committee attended the
meeting, which was held in
Pine Bluff. He described the
speakers at the state meeting, which included: Mark
Robertson, an architect running to be Commissioner of
State Lands, Karen Garcia,
former head of accounting
for Weyerhaeuser who is a
candidate for State Treasurer, Regina Stewart Hampton,
longtime state auditor employee who is running to be
State Auditor, Susan Inman,
candidate for Secretary of
State, and Lynette Bryant
and Mike Ross, candidates
for governor.
The report also included
an invitation to attend the
next state Democratic meeting, which is set for May 31 at
Henderson State University
campus in Arkadelphia.
Also at the meeting, the
Howard County Democrats
heard and rejected Motta’s
resignation as chairman,
and selected a replacement
for Motta for the Howard
County Election Commission. Dierks schoolteacher
Larry Jones will be filling the
position.
Church to host “Blessed
Beyond measure” concert
The sister trio "Blessed
Beyond Measure" will be in
concert Sun., April 6, at Okay
Community Baptist Church
near Saratoga.
The concert is free. A
love offering will be taken
for a mission trip to South
Africa for one of the group
members.

No bids
received on
park project
a.J. Smith
Managing Editor
NASHVILLE – The Nashville Parks and Recreation
board members met Tues.,
March 18 to discuss upcoming updates to the park.
The park has not received any bids for the
outlook arbor construction
on the Ronny K. Woods
Wildlife Trail. According to
Park Director Nikki Cherry,
there is one contractor that
has stated they would submit a bid; however, if the
bid is rejected it will have
to be rebid. The stream
deck plans were read and
approved by the board to
be sent to bid.
The basketball court construction, funded by the
2013 Outdoor Recreation
Grant, is moving along as
planned. The pad is finished
and ready to start framing.
The March for Parks event
raised a total of $5,055.99.
The funds raised by the
event will be used for Ronny
Woods Pavilion construction.
The board voted unanimously to remove the credit
card machines and phones
lines from the new softball
and baseball concession
stands after it was explained
that the devices are rarely
used and do not justify paying fees related to the service.
The board also waived
the ball field fees for the
baseball association’s jamboree, but the park will not
give the baseball association
the concession profit.

Cleanup day scheduled at
Old Washington State Park
WASHINGTON – Just
over 150 years after the
first shots of the Civil War
were fired, another wave of
volunteers is about to descend on America’s storied
battlegrounds – only this
array of dedicated men and
women will be armed with
paint brushes, trash bags
and weed whackers.
On Sat., April 5 at 9 a.m.,
history buffs and preservationists from around the
country will team up with
the Civil War Trust to help
clean and restore America’s
priceless battlefields, cemeteries and shrines. The
nationwide effort – dubbed
Park Day – is underwritten
with a grant from History™,
formerly The History Chan-
nel, and has been endorsed
by Take Pride in America, a
division of the U.S. Department of the Interior.
Park Day, now in its 18th
year, is an annual hands-on
preservation event created
by the Trust to assist local
groups with the maintenance of Civil War sites. This
year, more than 100 sites in
22 states are expected to
take part in the effort, with
activities ranging from trash
removal to trail building.
In exchange for their hard
work, volunteers receive
t-shirts and learn the site’s
history from local experts.
Historic Washington State
Park will participate in Park
Day 2014. Volunteers are
needed to clean and plant
flowerbeds, power wash
fences, clean out fence lines,
pick up trash and help us
make the park beautiful.
Participants will receive a
T-Shirt or patch in thanks
for their help. Bottled water,
snacks and a picnic lunch
will be provided through the
generosity of local sponsors.
For more information
about Park Day at Historic
Washington, please contact
Vicky Schoeneweis, Volunteer Coordinator by phone
at 870-983-2558 or by e-mail
at vicky.schoeneweis@arkansas.gov.
With 55,000 members,
the Civil War Trust is the
largest nonprofit battlefield
preservation organization in
the United States.

How to eat out and stay healthy at the same time
It doesn’t matter if you
have a diet with special dietary concerns, or are just
watching what you eat to
lose weight; eating out can
be a concern. Whether it’s
a business meeting over
lunch, carry-out dinner,
or a fast-food meal, eating
out is a part of our busy
lives. We eat out because
it’s easy, it’s quick, and it’s
fun. But is it healthy?
It can be; if you plan
ahead and choose wisely,
you will likely find foods
that fit into our meal plan.
Many restaurants are trying to meet the growing
demand of diners’ health
needs. Whether those
needs be low sodium, low
fat, low carbohydrate, low
sugar or any combination
mentioned.
Some restaurants offer
foods lower in cholesterol,
fat, and sodium, and higher
in fiber. Most have fruit
juice and decaffeinated
coffee. Many offer reducedcalorie salad dressings,
low-fat or fat-free milk, and
salt substitutes.
If you eat away from
home a lot, you need to
find ways to follow your
meal plan as much as pos-
sible. Pick a restaurant
with a variety of choices
to increase your chances
of finding the foods you
want and order only what
you need and want. Here’s
how to order so that you
will hopefully follow your
meal plan.
* If you don’t know
what’s in a dish or don’t
know the serving size, ask.
* Try to eat the same
portion as you would at
home. If the serving size is
larger, put the extra food
in a doggie bag before you
start eating, or share with
someone else.
* Ask for fish or meat
broiled with no extra butter.
* If you are on a reduced-sodium meal plan,
ask that no salt be added
to your food.
* If you are a diabetic
and are eating out with
others, ask them to eat at
your usual time.
* Have reservations and
be on time. Avoid the times
when the restaurant is
busiest so you won’t have
to wait.
Fast food restaurants
probably pose the biggest
challenge when eating out.
But, believe it or not, you
Extension
Tips
can make healthy fastfood choices. How? Know
exactly what you are ordering and plan ahead.
When it is time to order,
what you order is the key.
It’s easy to eat an entire
day’s worth of fat, salt,
and calories in just one
fast-food meal. But it’s
also possible to make wise
choices and eat a fairly
healthy meal.
Some tips that can help
you choose well include:
* Know that an average
fast-food meal runs about
685 calories. Sometimes
more depending upon
what you order. Consult
the nutrition facts at most
restaurants to make the
best choices for your diet.
* If ordering breakfast
from a fast food restaurant, follow your diet plan.
To make the healthiest
choices, choose a plain bagel, toast, or English muffin. Other muffins may be

loaded with sugar and fat.
Add fruit juice, or low-fat
or fat-free milk. Order cold
cereal with fat-free milk,
pancakes without butter,
or plain scrambled eggs.
Avoid bacon and sausage.
These are loaded with sodium, fat and calories.
* Watch out for words
like jumbo, giant, or deluxe. Larger portions mean
more calories as well as
more fat, cholesterol, and
salt. Order a regular or junior-size sandwich instead.
* Order bean burritos,
soft tacos, and other nonfried items when eating
Mexican fast foods. Choose
chicken over beef. Avoid
beans refried in lard. Pile
on extra lettuce, tomatoes, and salsa. Go easy
on cheese, sour cream,
and guacamole. Watch
out for deep – fried taco
salad shells – a taco salad
can have more than 1,000
calories.
* Pizza can be a good
fast-food choice. Go for
thin-crust pizza with vegetable toppings. Meat and
extra cheese add calories,
fat, and sodium.
* End your meal with
sugar-free, fat-free frozen
yogurt. Ices, sorbets, and
sherbets have less fat and
fewer calories than ice
cream. But they are also
high in sugar.
Eating out can be one of
life’s great pleasures. Make
the right choices, ask for
what you need and balance your meals out with
healthy meals at home.
You can enjoy yourself and
take charge of your health
at the same time.
For more information
on eating out, contact the
Howard County Extension
Office at 870-845-7517 or

the second floor of the
courthouse.

State announces road closure at Daisy State Park
KIRBY - West Park Road
within Daisy State Park will
be closed permanently to
through traffic beginning
May 1, according to State
Parks Director Greg Butts.
“This road, an alternate
route heading south from
U.S. 70 into the park, causes
frustration for visitors entering Daisy State Park
when it is mistaken by eastbound travelers on U.S. 70
as the park’s main entrance
road. That road, East Park
Road, is a paved road that’s
1,500 feet ahead,” Butts
said. “West Park Road was
never intended to be an entrance for our park visitors.
It is not paved and includes
a steep hill. Campers with
large RV’s that attempt the
climb often get stuck and
require assistance. The
closure of West Park Road
at the park’s boundary will
prevent this from happening again.”
Butts noted that enhanced security for park
visitors will be another benefit resulting from this road
closure.
Signage has been installed
on West Park Road notifying

Cheerleaders picked at Dierks
KATELYN COFFMAN
DHS Correspondent
DIERKS - Junior and Senior high Dierks Outlaw
cheerleading tryouts were
held Thurs., March 13 in the
Dierks High School gymnasium. The contestants were
judged on a dance routine,
two cheers, three jumps,
their entrance and exit, and
showmanship, which includes things such as coordination and enthusiasm.
A rating of one through five
was awarded for each category, with one equaling
“needs improvement” and a
five being “superior.”
Of the 17 that tried out
for junior high cheerleader,
10 made it. One of those
was first-time cheerleader,
Abigail Garner.
Garner never participated
in cheer during elementary
school, but has been doing tumbling and gymnastics since she was about
six-years-old and became
passionate about it. In her
later years, she began taking
a class that offered cheer
along with gymnastics. Despite that it was her first
year, Garner was not nervous about trying out.
“I feel good about making
it,” she said. “I think I could
have done better, though. I
knew I had a good chance
because I’ve been practicing
for a really long time, but you
can’t be too confident.”
To her, tryouts were
fun, but she was anxious
to find out who made it.
Garner attributes her success to the amount of time
she put into practicing and
the faith she had in herself.
As for next year, she admits to being semi-nervous
about “messing up” but is
looking forward to simply
cheering.
“I have a feeling it’s going
to be a good year,” she said.
For Meagan Welch, this
is the second year of being
a member of the junior high
cheer squad.
“I’m excited, and I can’t
wait to find out what this
year will bring,” she said,
adding that, for tryouts this
year, she “practiced constantly.”
“Tryouts were very nervewracking. There was a lot of
competition,” she stated.
When Welch was three,
she began watching her
older sister cheer and it motivated her to try out when
the time came.
“I remember thinking
‘I want to do that when I
grow up,” she recalled. She
is already nervous about
whether or not her career
in cheer will continue next
year and is hopeful that she
will be able to get a spot on
the team once again. For
this year, she is most looking
forward to cheer camp and
supporting the Outlaws.
The junior high squad
will attend an NCA camp in
Texarkana June 3-6. They
will compete with other
schools for All American
and to see who has best
mastered cheers and chants.
Adriana Hogg, junior high
cheer coach, stated, “We
will practice hard during
the summer. I expect them
to learn a new routine for
each home football game. I
want them to have awesome
pep-rallies, be leaders in the
school, get the community
and crowd involved in cheering on the team, and showing
Outlaw pride for our junior
high boys.”
Hogg has high hopes for
her group. “I want them to
be united as one team. I
have very high expectations
of them to work hard, keep
their grades up, and to maintain high moral standards,”
KATELYN COFFMAN | Nashville News
The Dierks Outlaws’ 2014-15 cheerleading squad. Front: Alyssa Gibson, Carli Davis, Isabel Fox, Katelynd Fennell, Alyssa
Ward. Back: Mascot Hannah Allen, Kyla Kompkoff, Brittnee Dinger, Adriana Walston, Jessica Hopkins and Breanna Bohon.
she said.
There were also 10 senior
high cheerleaders chosen
for the upcoming year. For
Kyla Kompkoff, this will be
the final year on the squad
before she graduates. She
describes tryouts this year
as, “Just fun. I had fun this
year, and I wasn’t really nervous like all the other years.”
Her hard work and ability
to work well with other people are what she feels helped
her earn her spot. When she
found out she made it, she
was enthusiastic because
it is her final year. However,
she is sad to see her time on
the squad come to an end.
“It’s bittersweet,” she explained.
Kompkoff is most looking
forward to getting familiar
with the newer cheerleaders
and seeing how they were
taught to cheer. As a veteran
of cheer, she feels she has a
responsibility to the team’s
youth.
“I feel like I should teach
them what I know and help
them to lead the underclassmen,” she said.
Hannah Allen, who was
a cheerleader for two years
before becoming the mascot the past two years, will
also be partaking in a bittersweet season next year
as she prepares to graduate
as well. She is taking it well,
though, explaining, “I’m
kind of sad, but I don’t want
to be in high school forever
so it’s got to come to an end
sometime.”
Tryouts for mascot differ
from cheerleading because
the mascot contestants are
required to make up their
own dance, a process that
Allen describes as “fun.” She
decided to try out for mascot
because she wanted to get
to be with her cheerleading
friends, but did not want to
cheer.
She prepped for tryouts
by watching YouTube videos
of other mascots and observing their methods when
she attends college football
games.
This year, she says, “I am
most excited about being
able to do it again because
last year I wasn’t spirited
enough so this year I want to
be more spirited. I want to do
more stuff, like dancing more
at pep rallies and being more
involved at games.”
Like Kompkoff, Allen feels
she in a position to influence
the younger cheerleaders.
“I’m older so being older
I have to watch what I do
because in a way, they look
up to me, and if I’m doing
something I shouldn’t be,
they’ll think it’s cool and
okay to do,” she said.
Isabel Fox and Alyssa Gibson are going to be juniors
next year, which means they
will soon move up in rank
and responsibility. They are
the only two in their grade
who have made it into the
cheer group consecutively
since seventh grade.
Gibson and Fox agree that
they would not have been
chosen this year if it wasn’t
for confidence, devoted
practice, and hard work.
Fox, who has been a
cheerleader since her peewee cheer days in fourth
grade, stated, “Tryouts were
stressful. You just had to put
a lot of time and practice
into it.”
They each had their own
motives for putting forth so
much effort. For Gibson, it
was because cheer-leading
has been a lifelong love of
hers.
“I was one of the little girls
that sat there and watched
the cheerleaders. Once I
started cheering myself, I really liked it,” she elaborated.
The girls are looking forward to next football season.
“I hope our squad keeps
improving,” Gibson said.
“I hope our senior high
cheerleaders are better than
our junior high,” Fox joked,
“and I hope we can cheer our
boys into a great season.”

Scrapper catcher Blake Hockaday reaches to catch a low pitch Monday during the Scrappers’ win over Magnet Cove.
maintaining their record
Scrappers still unbeaten after win over Magnet Cove
ChARLES GOODiN
Editor
NASHVILLE - A strong third inning proved to
be all Nashville would need to down Magnet Cove
Monday at Wilson Park.
Both the Scrappers and the Panthers were
scoreless in the first two stanzas of the game,
but Nashville came alive in the third, claiming the
lead with a four run rally that Magnet Cove never
recovered from.
Justin Reed pitched all seven innings in the
contest, giving up just one earned run at the top
of the seventh and allowing only three hits while
striking out nine batters.
Offensively, Nick Myers led the charge for the
Scrappers, going 3-3 from the plate and tallying one
run. Cameron Alexander was close behind with a
1-3 effort that yielded a run and an RBI, while Alex
Curry (1-2) added a run and RBI of his own. Kyler
Lawrence rounded out scoring for Nashville with
a run despite never recording a hit.
Action got underway four pitches into the third
inning, when Curry singled to left field, scoring
Myers. Lawrence reached third on the play, then
scored when Alexander doubled to centerfield.
One play later, Lucas Liggin reached base on an
error, scoring Curry and Alexander.
The Panthers fired back with a run of their own
at the top of the seventh, but the would-be rally
wasn’t enough to overcome the deficit and Nashville claimed an easy victory.
The Scrappers will return to action tonight as
they prepare to host Fouke. Game time is set for
6:30 p.m.

GENOA – The Dierks Lady
Outlaws were edged out by
the Genoa Lady Dragons on
Mon., March 17 with a score
of 3-4.
“It was a tough loss,”
Coach Brad Bray said. “We
were without one of our
better hitters and shortstop,
Lillie Woodruff. The game
could have gone either way.
Once again timely hits were
needed. I’ve got several girls
that have to grow up fast in
the game. There’s not a lot
of experience but they have
come a long way since fall
ball. We are improving but
we’ve got to find a way to
finish strong. Our record is
kinda deceiving - we are a
better team than our record
shows. We just hope to be
hitting on all cylinders when
conference play starts after
spring break.”
Action began in the third
inning with the Lady Outlaws
scoring two runs. Skylar Burgess started off the inning
striking out after a full count.
Madasan Muse was walked.
Stephanie Stuart landed a
solid hit to centerfield. Melanie Kesterson followed with a
hit to centerfield, bringing in
both Muse and Stuart before
being thrown out at third
for the second out. Hailey
Carraway landed a solid hit
to centerfield. Hannah Allen
landed a double. Adrianna
Walston was thrown out at
first after a hit to short stop
to end the inning.
The Lady Outlaws allowed the first two runs from
the Lady Dragons in fourth
inning and again with their
final two runs in the fifth
inning. The Lady Outlaws
scored their last run in the
sixth inning. Allen led off
the inning with a strike out.
Walston followed with a hit
right outfield. Hill followed
with a hit to centerfield that
brought in Walston. Hill was
thrown out at home plate
for the second out. Kyla
Kompkoff was thrown out
at second after Burgess’ hit
for the last out of the inning.
The game continued
scoreless for both teams,
making the final score Lady
Outlaws three to Lady Dragons’ 4. Action will resume
for the Lady Outlaws at the
Spring Hill tournament at
Hope on March 20-22.

Managing Editor
DIERKS – The Dierks
Outlaws eased by the Centerpoint Knights on Mon.,
March 17 scoring 4-3. “
Caleb Dunn threw well
and after a shaky start, we
cleaned things up,” Coach
Stephen Sprick said. “We are
starting to play better baseball and I think the guys are
starting to see the results of
the work they are putting in.”
The Centerpoint Knights
struck first in the first inning
with one run. Action for the
Outlaws began in the third
inning. Tyler Narens led
the inning with a strike out.
MacLane Moore was walked.
Tyler Kesterson hit down
the third base line making
to first on an error. Andrew
Sirmon followed the same hit
and an error at second kept
him and Kesterson safe on
base. Drew Adams landed a
hit past the pitcher allowing
Moore to make the single
run of the inning. Adams was
thrown out at first for the
second out. Tyler Mounts
hit down the third base line
and was thrown out at first
for the last out.
During the fourth inning
the Outlaws shut down the
Knights while scoring two
more runs. Caleb Dunn led
the inning with a hit past
short stop. Andy Tedder was
walked. Trendin McKinney’s
hit towards first was the first
out for the inning. Narens
batted in Dunn and Tedder
while thrown out at first for
the second out. Moore was
struck out for the last out.
The Knights and Outlaws
scored their final runs in
the fifth inning making the
final score 4-3 in the Outlaws’ favor. Kesterson led
off with a bunt and received
the first out at first. Sirmon
was safe on first on an error
play. Adams hit past second
base. Mounts bunted down
the third base line loading
the bases. Dunn also bunted
down the third base line with
the pitcher throwing out Adams on third for the second
out. Tedder’s hit toward the
pitcher was the last out at
first to end the inning.
The Outlaws will return to
the field on March 20 against
the Ashdown Panthers at
5 p.m.

Hope man accused
of rape, kidnapping
JONATHAN CANADAY | SW Arkansas Radio
Representatives from the Arkansas Forestry Commission and students with Nashville High School are pictured with
Mayor Billy Ray Jones and Park Director Nikki Cherry Monday during a tree planting event held at the Nashville City
Park in recognition of Arbor Day.
Arkansas Forestry Commission, local
students plant trees in recognition of Arbor Day
NASHVILLE – City Parks in Nashville, Center Point, and Dierks received
trees donated by the Arkansas Forestry Commission (AFC). Local AFC
Rangers, Kenny Fant and John Crump,
as well as AFC Forester, Justin Mallet,
worked yesterday to ensure that trees
were planted with plenty of sunlight
and moisture. Nashville City Park
received Red Bud and Cypress trees.
Center Point City Park received Water
Oak and Nutall Oak trees. This morning, Dierks City Park received Nutall
Oak trees.
“Alongside fire safety, we work to
ensure the conservation and development of new trees in our forests and
civic areas. The trees planted at each
location are just a small way that we
can work with communities to encourage the development and legacy of
Arkansas’s forest health,” said Howard
County Forester, Justin Mallett.
AFC Crews work all over the state
to promote forest health through tree
planting initiatives like these, and
through forestry education. Students
from Nashville High School assisted
crews in placing trees at the Nashville
City Park. Preserving our forests for
future generations takes participation
from everyone. Arbor Day and Earth
Day Celebrations take place throughout March and April to celebrate and
promote the planting of trees in urban
areas like city parks.
The AFC has recorded high wildfire
activity through the beginning of 2014.
AFC Crews are carefully working to
balance the spring planting season,
with constant monitoring of the daily
fire weather forecast. As homeowners
consider outdoor burning during the
primary spring burn season, the following Outdoor Burning Safety Tips
can be helpful:
· Always check current and predicted weather conditions: Humidity
should be above 30%-40% and wind
gusts should be below 5 mph before
you burn.
· Call your local fire department or
AFC crew to find out if conditions are
suitable, and to report your burn. Report large controlled burns to the AFC
Dispatch Center at: 1-800-830-8015.
· Choose a location for your fire
away from structures and urban areas,
away from other flammable vegetation (including dead grass and leaves),
and away from sloped areas.
· Construct a fire break around your
burn site. The fire break should be
carved down to bare soil so that an
actual barrier is created between your
fire and the surrounding vegetation.
· If you are burning trash in a barrel, place a heavy, wired screen over
the top of it.
· Always stay with your fires, never
leave open flames unattended.
· Keep tools such as rakes, shovels,
and a reliable water hose close to
your burn.
· Plan to re-check your burn even
after flames have been extinguished
to look for re-kindling.
Contact the AFC about forest
management plans, controlled burning, or tree recommendations for
your land. Your local AFC contacts
can be reached at: 870-286-2137.
To report a wildfire, or inquire
about wildfire danger, call the AFC
Dispatch Center at 1-800-468-8834.
To report an emergency, dial 911.

HOPE - A local man is facing charges of rape and kidnapping following a domestic incident that occurred
Fri., March 14.
According to a statement issued by Sheriff
James A. Singleton, 23 year
old Zachary Allen was taken into custody Monday
around 8 p.m. following
an investigation into the
alleged assault of a 22 year
old woman.
“On Fri., March 14, Deputy Marla Barnhill was dispatched to 468 Hempstead 5
[in reference to a] domestic
Battery,” Singleton said in
the statement. “Upon arrival
she made contact with the
victim’s mother, who stated
that her 22 year old daughter
came to her home and stated
that Zachary Allen had beat
her up.”
Deputy Barnhill spoke
with the 22 year old victim,
who reportedly stated that
Allen had “beat her up the
night before” and that she
had to wait until he went
to sleep to leave the house,
according to the statement.
The victim then went to a
neighbor’s house and got
them to take her to her mother’s, she said.
“The victim stated that a
friend came and picked her
up around 11:30 p.m. and
took her to Allen’s house and
everything
was fine until the friend
left the
house,” Singleton said.
“The victim
stated that
ALLEN
she was sitting on the bed when Allen
came into room and started
accusing her of cheating on
him. The victim stated Allen
then started hitting her and
forced her to have sex with
him.”
The statement further
alleges that the victim told
police Allen went to the
kitchen and got a knife and
was talking about cutting her
and himself.
“The victim stated she
did talk Zac into giving her
the knife and she then went
to the bathroom, where she
could hear Allen throwing
things like he was looking
for something,” Singleton
continued. “She stated that
when she came out of bathroom Allen started hitting
her with a belt.”
After an investigation
by the Hempstead County
Sheriff’s Office, a warrant
was issued for Allen, resulting in the Monday arrest.
He is currently an inmate
at the Hempstead County
Jail awaiting a first court appearance.

School continues to debate outsourcing food service
CHARLES GOODIN
Editor
NASHVILLE - School officials continued discussion
on a proposal to outsource
food preparation in the district’s cafeterias during Monday’s school board meeting.
Discussion on the subject was led by food service
supervisor Tina Conzel,
who told board members
she and other staff from
her department had visited
two area schools currently
using the food service company Chartwells to run their
cafeterias. Conzel said the
visits, which were made to
Lakeside and Malvern High
Schools, revealed both advantages and disadvantages
to moving forward with
outsourcing.
Lakeside’s cafeteria featured “lots of choices,” according to Conzel, including
fried chicken, wraps, sandwiches, a salad bar, pizza,
hamburgers, fruit, cookies
and chips, but the food is
not cooked from scratch and
many of the stations are selfserved by students - factors
she characterized as less
than desirable.
Conzel also mentioned
that some staff members
expressed a general sense
of unhappiness with the
company, and many refused
to talk to the visiting group
when a Chartwells manager
was present. Other concerns
expressed by employees
from the Nashville district included worries over whether
the company’s insurance
would provide coverage as
thorough as the school’s and
the loss of accumulated sick
leave and other benefits.
While she never explicitly
stated that she was opposed
to the proposal, Conzel did
imply that her staff would
prefer to remain employees
of the district.
“We don’t want y’all to
give up on us yet,” she said.
Board members took no
action on the subject at Monday’s meeting and discussion was minimal following
Conzel’s presentation.
Roughly 75 percent of
the district’s students eat in
the cafeteria and 69 percent
of all students at the school
qualify for free or reduced
lunches, according to Conzel’s records.
In other business, the
board:
•฀ heard฀ a฀ presentation฀
from High School Principal
Tate Gordon and Junior High
Assistant Principal Jason
Williamson during which
it was recommended that
the school use the free elearning platform Moodle to
administer an online class to
all students entering ninth
grade next year. Act 1280 of
the last legislative session
requires that those students
take at least one online-only
class before graduating. Gordon explained that using the
free program and developing
a curriculum in house would
save the school the $2,500
annual fee and additional
costs per student that would
be incurred if the district
were to use an online course
vendor to supply the class.
•฀heard฀an฀announcement฀
from Superintendent Doug
Graham regarding phase two
of construction work on the
high school campus, bids
for which are expected to be
opened April 1.
•฀heard฀an฀announcement฀
from Graham regarding a
recent visit from the state
department of education
to observe the school’s migrant education program
during which he said state
officials said the district
must increase participation. Roughly 30 students
who qualify for the program
aren’t enrolled in it, Graham
said, and the district will
likely need to hire an additional aide whose salary
will be paid by the migrant
education grant.
•฀ accepted฀ the฀ resignations of coach Don Cooley,
custodian Ruth Lively and
special education instructor
Cameron Allen.
•฀ voted฀ unanimously฀
to employ Bryce Petty as
a technology coordinator
making $22.99 per hour effective April 1.
•฀ voted฀ unanimously฀
to employ Gricelda Maya

also approved the transfer of

ought to be one of the requirements before somebody gets on city services
is that they be in the city

reasons we are trying to do
this. It would just make our

water for more than three
months, was addressed
Tuesday, according to
Brown. He also reported that
a leak near the town hall was
repaired Wednesday.
Brown then said that
the water seepage that had
generated the most complaints, on property owned
by Charles Henry “Peter
Gun” Johnson, may be beyond the town’s ability to
fix. He stated that the water
coming up from the ground
had tested negative for both
chlorine treatment and sewage, making it unlikely that it
was from town sources.
Brown stated that he

Although he is still in
favor of the proposal, Jones
said he would not continue
to pursue the move without
the support of the city council and remained dispassionate about whether or not
the annexation ultimately
passes.
“It’s not gonna be a make

doesn’t,” he said. “I’m not

does not support it and does
not want to do it, that’s not a

Master Gardeners will sponsor a gardening seminar
Tues., April 1 from 6-9 p.m. at
the Southwest Research and
Extension Center (Experiment Center) at Hope.
Janet Carson, University
of Arkansas Extension Horticulture Specialist from Little
Rock, will be presenting
classes on gardening in a
changing climate and low
maintenance beautiful landscapes.
There will be door prizes
and homemade sweets and
treats. Parties interested
in attending the event may
register early for a $10 fee by
calling 870-777-5771, or pay
$15 at the door. Doors open
at 5:30 pm.
For more information,

Motta said he hopes to
return to the area when
his responsibilities in other
parts of the United States
have come to a close, and
reflected fondly on his time
in Howard County.
“Having had a choice on
where to raise my family, I
chose Nashville, Arkansas,”
he said. “If things were still
within my power or control,
I would choose to stay here
and continue to raise my
family here.”
worked on that seepage over
the weekend. Given that
he was not able to find the
source quickly, he felt that
it could possibly be either
a natural upwelling or seepage from local surface water.
The seepage is of concern,
because it is close to a day
care facility owned by Helen
Ruth Johnson.
Brown also reported that
he had been contacted by
the state health department
over the matter, and was cooperating with them. Brown
apologized to the residents
of the town for the delays
in repairing the leaks, saying that he is the sole town
employee for both the water
and streets departments
(though he does hire help
on an ad hoc basis as able),
and has just been unable to
keep up with needs.
