Perkins fills Carlisle School Board vacancy
By Debbye Harrison
The Carlisle School Board met in a called meeting January 7, 2025, to appoint Megan Perkins to fill the Board Position vacated by the resignation of Marvin Reid. Marvin Reid temporarily filled the position formerly held by his wife Debbie Reid. Perkins along with Whitney Jones and Jereme Carter will meet with the County Judge at a future date to be sworn in. Jones and Carter ran
unopposed for the upcoming term.
In other business the Board voted to pay $668,891.01 payment on the debt service due this year. This payment includes a $266,000 yearly payment on the elementary gym. These payments will continue until 2036 at a rate of $730,000 to $740,000 per year. The Board voted to cash in a $488,000 CD that had matured to help with the payment. The Board has consulted Stephens, Inc. over
the years for financial advice, and this group has closely monitored the school’s financial health. Their recommendation has been since the interest rate is 1 to 1.25% on this loan, there is no advantage to seeking a refinancing of the debt, and the school is currently in good financial condition. The school has saved $250,000 this year. Brandon Parker was absent.

Jenny Lou Baker
Hooks promoted to law firm partner
Jenny Lou Baker (Duck), age 79, of Cabot, Arkansas passed on to her heavenly home on January 8, 2025. Jenny was born on June 28, 1945 in Bassett, Arkansas to the late Curry H. and Leaner Duck.
Jenny was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, James Lafayette Baker; four sisters, Shirley Beliew, Mae Smith, Linda Hayes, and Sue Arnold; and one brother, Ernest Duck. She is survived by her daughter, Kristi G. Shoemake; two grandchildren, Jaiden Kyla Shoemake and Sadie Rianna Shoemake; two stepdaughters, Shirl Anderson and Christine Moon; one stepson, James T. Baker; two step-grandchildren, Seth Baker and Elisa Jones; one aunt, Etta Nash; also many nieces and nephews.
Jenny was of the Pentecostal faith. Her passion was her family, where she was known by Mamaw by most of those who loved her and she loved them all dearly and spending time with them was her joy.
Farris Albert Hogue
Farris Albert Hogue III, 72, passed away unexpectedly January 5, 2025, at his home in Hot Springs Village. He was born on December 16, 1952, in Dallas to Farris Jr. and Rose Marie Hogue and grew up in Hazen, Arkansas. He graduated from the University of Arkansas at Monticello with a degree in Economics and went on to work for Riceland Foods in Stuttgart for more than 40 years, picking up many skills along the way including being able to cook the perfect pot of rice.
Jenny also enjoyed going camping, being on a boat at the lake, watching her favorite TV shows, and going to town to shop and going out to eat. Mamaw was so loved here on earth and will be dearly missed by her family and so many others. A visitation was held on Monday, January 13, 2025 beginning at 5:00 PM until 7:00 PM at Westbrook Funeral Home in Hazen, Arkansas. Funeral services for Jenny was held on Tuesday, January 14, 2025 at 1:00 PM at the Westbrook Funeral Home Chapel in Hazen. Interment followed in the Old Carlisle Cemetery in Carlisle, Arkansas.
Though he may not have liked being the center of attention, he deserves to have his love of life honored. He was a man of integrity, kindness and generosity, and he left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. He will be remembered for his wit and sense of humor and was a loving husband and devoted father and grandfather. His family is thankful his wishes will be honored as a tissue donor.
Farris was hard-working and dedicated to his community. He volunteered his time for numerous arts organizations, but his favorite volunteer work had to be setting up and working the World's Championship Duck Calling Contest stage each year during the annual Wings Over the Prairie Festival.
Farris enjoyed the outdoors and spent many camping trips with his family hiking, biking and fishing. He took great pride in his yard and spent many hours manicuring his grass, working in his garden and feeding the birds. He was an avid birdwatcher and enjoyed watching the pileated woodpeckers in the Village. He was a diehard Arkansas Razorbacks fan and loved working on projects in his shop to share with friends and family. His love of all music genres left a
lasting impression on his daughter. He is preceded in death by his loving parents, Farris Jr. and Rose Marie Hogue. He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Vera Jelyn Hogue; his daughter, April Scott of Hot Springs Village; his two grandchildren, SSG Brannon Herring (Ally), Nicholas Herring (Ambria), great-grandson Logan Herring, and his two brothers, Michael Hogue (Pam) of Bryant, and Paul Hogue of Lexington, Kentucky, as well as his two nephews, greatnephews, great-niece, and many friends and extended family members who will miss him dearly. He also leaves behind six furbabies, including his sweet dachshund Captain Jack, who is missing his favorite person.
A private remembrance for family will be held at a later date. Farris’ family will forever be grateful for the first responders, medical personnel and Pastor Gilmore for the loving care they provided. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Hot Springs Village Audubon Society (hsvbirds.org/donate) or the Hot Springs Village Animal Welfare League (hsvawl.org/donationoptions) to honor Farris' love of birds and animals.
We find comfort in knowing that Farris' legacy lives on through the lessons he taught us, the love he shared, and the memories we will cherish forever. Online condolences at www.caruth-hale.com.

On January 14, the second day of the session, House and Senate members will convene jointly in the House Chamber to hear an address from Governor Sanders. This address will outline the Governor’s legislative priorities and provide key recommendations on the pressing issues facing Arkansas. Several important dead-

State Capitol Week in Review
From Senator Ronald Caldwell
LITTLE ROCK – The timing could not have been better for the good news. Arkansas just received a $17 million federal grant to improve maternal health care was formally announced a few days before the beginning of the 2025 legislative session.
Improving maternal health care is high on the legislature’s list of priorities for the session, which convenes on Monday, January 13. There is no definite ending date. However, based on the length of recent legislative sessions it will probably last until April.
The governor appointed a Strategic Committee for Maternal Health last year and one of its recommendations was to pursue the federal grant. As the governor
said, “healthy moms means healthy babies.”
The grant will be implemented by the state Human Services Department, whose secretary said that it would help transform how Arkansas approaches maternal health. The department will lead the project, and will be joined by the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
According to the grant application, the rate of maternal mortality in Arkansas is the highest in the country and double the national average. On average, the health of newborn infants is “considerably worse than the rest of the U.S.” when premature births, infant deaths and low birthweight babies are counted.
There are several reasons for the state’s low ranking, according to the grant application. Arkansas is rural and there are many areas where obstetrician and delivery services are not easily available. Of the 75 counties in Arkansas, 73 are classified as fully or partially underserved, and 45 counties are classified as maternal care deserts due to their lack of hospitals that offer obstetrical services. Arkansas is a poor state and Medicaid pays for 58 percentage of births.
Some of the grant money will go toward educating providers, such as physicians and health clinics, about the potential benefits of working with doulas, midwives and community health workers.
Arkansas currently has
only 33 licensed midwives, so some of the grant money will be used to address that shortage. For example, UAMS is developing a new master’s program for registered nurses to become certified nurse midwives.
Another goal is to create new categories in Medicaid so that doulas and community health workers can be reimbursed for helping with pregnancies and deliveries.
Another suggested change to Medicaid policy is described as “presumptive eligibility.” That means state officials would presume that a pregnant woman is eligible for Medicaid once she becomes pregnant, so that she is not discouraged from getting pre-natal because she feels that she could not afford it.
Some of the money will pay for new technology that will be used specifically to help pregnant women obtain better access to health care.
Some of the funding will pay for an effort to redesign the Medicaid reimbursement system. This effort will create incentives for providers whose patients have healthier outcomes.
In 2023 the legislature approved Act 316 that directs physicians and providers to screen new mothers for depression or other mental health issues, within six weeks of giving birth. Some of the grant funding will go toward improving and expanding those mental health screenings.

Social Security Matters
Russell Gloor,
National Social Security Advisor at the AMAC Foundation, the non-profit arm of the Association of Mature American Citizens
Dear Rusty: I had to start collecting Social Security at 62, and I am 75 now. I believe that in the last 13 years I have saved Social Security money, so I do not know why I cannot draw my full benefits now.
If I had started drawing at 65 at $1,200 per month, then I would have drawn $16,400 per year. Instead, I got $680 per month from 62 to 75, or $8,160 per year, or about $106,000 over 13 years. Compare that to the age 65 amount of $14,400 per year for 10 years, which is $144,000. So, by claiming at 62, at age 75 I have saved the government over $38,000. It would make seniors lives so much easier if they could draw full Social Security at 75 years old, after getting only part of their SS.
Signed: Second-guessing
Dear Second-guessing: The difference between benefits claimed at various ages causes many to reflect, as you have done, about what might have been had you waited longer to claim. But there is an error in your calculations. If your age 62 monthly benefit is $680, your age 65 monthly benefit would have been about $845, not $1,200. Thus, at 75 you would have collected about $101,400 by claiming at 65, vs. the $106,000 you have received by claiming at age 62. In other words, you still would not have broken even had you claimed at age 65. Social Security says that it doesn’t matter when you claim – they say that if you claim early your payments will be less, but you’ll get more of them. Where SSA’s argument falls apart is when life expectancy is longer. Our experience is that if you wait until your full retirement age (FRA) to claim (which is age 66 in your case), vs. claiming at age
62, you will collect the same amount of total money at about age 78. In other words, the “breakeven age” for waiting until FRA to claim is about 78. So, you will reach your personal “breakeven age” in about 2 ½ years (at age 78). And this is precisely why we encourage everyone to understand their life expectancy when deciding when to claim Social Security – those who expect to live longer will, indeed, get more SS money if they delay claiming. Your benefit is determined by your age when you claim, and if you claim before your FRA your monthly amount is permanently reduced. If you claimed at age 62 and your monthly amount was $680, then in the four years until you reached age 66 (your FRA) you would have received about $32,640. If you had, instead, waited until your FRA to claim, your benefit at age 66 would have been about $906/month. Collecting $906/month (at 66) vs. $680/month (at 62) would make your breakeven age about 78. If you claimed at age 65 instead of 62, your breakeven age would
have been about a year earlier (77). So, have you saved Social Security money? Up to this point, you have not. Since you claimed at age 62, you have collected about $680/month for 13 years until you were 75 (or about $106,000). If you had waited until age 65 to claim you would have, instead, collected about $101,400 – in other words you have received more, so far, by claiming at age 62. But that will change when you reach 77 (your breakeven age, had you claimed at 65). Starting at age 77, you will have received less in cumulative lifetime benefits because you claimed at age 62. Which, again, is why – at the AMAC Foundation’s Social Security Advisory Service – we encourage everyone to consider life expectancy when deciding when to take Social Security. Of course there are other factors too, not the least of which is financial need, but life expectancy is key. And since the benefit you get when you claim is permanent (except for annual Cost of Living Adjustments), deciding when to claim Social Security is a decision which affects a lifetime.
