LOCAL NEWS EWITT POLICE REPORT October 14, 2013 – Sergeant Greg Miller was dispatched to the intersection of West 2nd Street and South Harrison Street for a 2 vehicle accident. Upon arrival, the vehicles had been moved off the roadway. The officer met with the drivers of both vehicles.

Driver 1 said that she was on South Harrison on the north side of West 2nd Street and was trying to pull out on to West 2nd Street and head east. She said that she did not see driver 2 coming because there were some bushes in the yard at the intersection that she could not see through. Driver 2 said that he was headed west on West 2nd Street. When driver 1 pulled out, he tried to avoid hitting her in the driver’s door, but hit the front end of the car. Both individuals said that they were okay, and Miller gathered information from them for the report. Both received citations for the charges stated in the report. He told both of them to call their insurance companies and report the accident. Driver 1 had to have her vehicle towed, and driver 2 pulled out his front bumper and was able to drive away.

October 18, 2013 - Officer Bazarow made a traffic stop on a white Lincoln Town car for one burned out headlight. After making contact with the driver, Larry Henderson, Bazarow had dispatch run him through ACIC and NCIC to check his driving status.

Henderson came back suspended, and he had warrants out of Dermott and Chicot counties. Bazarow then went back to the vehicle and asked Henderson to step out of it and place his hands on the trunk so he could search him for weapons. He asked Henderson if there was anything in the vehicle that he needed to know about. Henderson stated that there was weed in the console and a set of scales and a pipe in the vehicle. Officers Bazarow and Truax then went and retrieved the items out of the vehicle: one silver container full of green leafy substance believed to be marijuana, one set of digital scales, one glass pipe and rolling papers. Bazarow then transported Henderson to Arkansas County Jail for driving on a suspended license, no proof of liability insurance, no headlight, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug Lordy Lordy paraphilia.

Back row: #57 Will Moss, #3 Kaiden Bullock, #48 Nathanael Rowland, #65 Jaylen Phillips, #27 Luke Smith, #78 Ja Sims, #9 Jeremiah Brown, #62 Connor McCollumn Second row: #61 Reese Chambless, #4 Lathan Reeves, #22 Brenden Ballard, #72 Lane Poor, #32 Xander Bohnert, #37 William Eason, #15 Jack Wilson Front row: #60 Josh Haynes, #20 Sawyer Turner, #8 Ty George, #13 Carl Hudson, #50 Samuel West, #12 Joey Jones The 3rd/4th grade PeeWee Dragon football team finished their season 7 – 0, earning them the undisputed title of champions. The PeeWee Dragons started the season in late July by practicing 3 days a week.

After many long and hot practices, they started the season on August 24 by defeating England with a score of 22-0. They then traveled to Woodlawn, leaving with a 32-8 victory. Then it was off to Star City to face the Star City Little White team.

Once again, it was a victory of 32-0. On September 28, the Dragons held their jamboree in front of an excited and pumped up home crowd.

They won double victories that day, with scores of 16-0 over Fordyce and 34-6 over England. They then traveled back to Star City on October 5, and experienced another victory over the Little White team with a score of 32-0.

This past Saturday, the pressure was on to maintain their undefeated record by opposing the only other undefeated team in the league, the Rison Wildcats.

The PeeWee Dragons started

the game off looking a little slow and sluggish, but finally they settled in and found their rhythm and showed the fans what they have been known for all season…. excellent blocks, quick as lighting running, and amazing team spirit!

They finished the game with a score of 14-0 to earn the first place spot in the league.

In all seven games combined, the PeeWee Dragons scored a total of 182 points and only allowed opponents to score 14 points. The awesome defensive line went 10 quarters without allowing one first down.

They were commonly known as the “beast”, and proved to be a little intimidating to some of the teams. Their motto on the line was to never give up!

Nathanael Rowland rushed for 723 yards and 12 touchdowns. Brenden Ballard rushed for 203 yards and 5 touchdowns.

Luke Smith rushed for 166 yards and 1 touchdown. He is also 5/17 passing for 85 yards and 2 touchdowns. The defense was led by Nathanael Rowland with 26 tackles with 5 for a loss

and 4 fumble recoveries. He also intercepted 2 passes and returned both for touchdowns. Lane Poor had 21 tackles with 10 for a loss. Luke Smith had 19 tackles including 8 for a loss. Xander Bohnert had 15 tackles including 11 for a loss.

Brenden Ballard had 15 tackles with 6 for a loss.

Will Moss had 14 tackles including 6 for a loss.

This season’s team proved that hard work, determination and dedication were the keys to a winning season. But, all that hard work, and harder play, could not have been possible without the coaching staff of Gary Moss, Keith Poor and Tim Smith. They were the type of coaches that took extra time to teach each and every boy on the field the fundamentals of football and how to love the sport.

They put in countless hours of watching the other teams play and preparing offensive and defensive plays for the PeeWee Dragon team.

This preparation, in turn, kept the opposing teams guessing as to what the Peewee Dragons were going to hit them with next.

The 3rd/4th grade PeeWee Dragons will travel to Star City this Saturday to compete for the Super Bowl Champion title. This tournament is a single elimination tournament featuring all teams in the league. The PeeWee Dragons get the 1st round by, and they will play against the winner of the 3rd and 6th place teams. Details of the tournament will be posted on the DeWitt PeeWee Football Facebook page as soon they are available. Please make plans to come out and support the PeeWee Dragons this weekend at Star City. GO DRAGONS!

Their first game resulted in a loss against a bigger and tougher Fordyce team with a score of 50-12.

But in their second game against the England Lions, the PeeWee Dragons were out to prove they were the bigger and tougher team. They proved their point and

exacted revenge on the Lions with a nail biting 30-28 victory. They then traveled back to Star City on October 5, and were dealt a hard 16-8 loss against the Star City Big Blue team that they had previously beaten. This past Saturday, the team traveled to Fordyce to play a make-up game due to a previous rainout. There was no rain in sight Saturday, and the cool and sunny weather proved to be the PeeWee Dragon’s good luck charm helping them finish out the season with a 24-14 win over Rison.

Coaches for the 5th/6th grade PeeWee Dragon team were Chuck Wilson, Heath Russell, and Garrett Coleman.

The Dragons were led by Josh Dabner with 747 yards rushing and 9 touchdowns. TJ Dabner rushed for 233 yards and 1 touchdown. Johnta Wright rushed for 133

yards with 1 touchdown.

Zac Armstrong is 11/17 passing for 84 yards and 2 touchdowns. The defense was led by Remington Chaneyworth with 28 tackles including 13 for a loss. Josh Dabner had 19 tackles and with 5 tackles for a loss. And Jamarian Kennedy had 9 tackles including 3 tackles for a loss.

The 5th/6th grade PeeWee Dragons will travel to Star City this Saturday to compete for the Super Bowl Champion title. This tournament is a single elimination tournament featuring all teams in the league. Details of the tournament will be posted on the DeWitt PeeWee Football Facebook page as soon they are available. Please make plans to come out and support the PeeWee Dragons this weekend at Star City. GO DRAGONS!

DeWitt Hospital & Nursing Home celebrated National Dietary week October 6th – 12th. Edith Rhodes from KeyImpact Sales came and did a pre-

sentation with the latest food products for the dietary staff.

DeWitt Featured at the Sustainable Communities Leadership Summit Summit focused on sustainability initiatives across the state.

Mayor Ralph Relyea highlighted DeWitt’s new mini-biofuels refinery at the Sustainable Communities Leadership Summit held in North Little Rock on Wednesday, October 16. Hosted by the Applied Sustainability Center, an outreach center of the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas, the Sustainable Communities Leadership Summit shared municipal best practices that foster thriving economies, thriving people an thriving eco-systems.

Ten Arkansas cities that demonstrated leadership or implemented an innovation around sustainability were selected for the Sustainable City Showcase.

“DeWitt, working with Alt.Consulting, is the first city to pilot a minibiofuels refinery. This project uses locally produced crops as an energy resource instead of importing fuel. It’s also more environmental friendly,” said Michele Halsell, managing director of the center. In addition to using camelina as a feedstock for making biodiesel, the city’s plans call for recycling used cooking oil from area restaurants and homes. “If the pilot is successful, it can be replicated in other cities. The important thing is that one city has to be willing to take the risk and be the first city to produce its own biofuel.”

The event is aimed at local leaders who are

looking for innovative ways to boost their local economies. Sessions focused on water conservation, energy efficiency, renewable energy, active transportation and local food systems as elements for enhancing economic prosperity, improving health, and reducing environmental impact.

“Sustainability offers economic benefits at multiple levels. Summit participants learned about strategies that allow city governments to save costs and reduce the burden on taxpayers, while simultaneously helping residents save money on commutingrelated expenses, and helping the city attract new residents and new investments,” said Mi-

chele Halsell, managing director of the center.

“Ninety-two percent of corporate real estate executives consider sustainability when making location decisions. Cities are seeking a competitive advantage by focusing on key sustainability components such as trails, renewable energy, and water stewardship.”

“The idea is to celebrate what Arkansas cities are already doing to be more sustainable and to share best practices so that they are replicated across the state,” said Halsell.

Mayor Relyea said he is, “Looking for to the Farm to Fuel event and the opening of DeWitt’s mini-bio-refinery on October 29.”

EHC - Committed to Community Service In Arkansas County, the Extension Homemakers Council (EHC) is a group of volunteers who are on the move helping to improve the community through their commitment of volunteer service. This group began in the county in 1916 as Home Demonstration Clubs. They have evolved from the wellremembered canning clubs to an organization focusing on a multitude of activities and projects that come under three main themes: Community Service, Leadership Development, and Education. The council is a volunteer organization associated with the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture through the Cooperative Extension Service. All programs of the Extension Homemakers Council are offered to all eligible persons regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, gender, age, disability, marital or veteran status, or any other legally protected status, and is an Affirmative Action/ Equal Opportunity Em-

ployer.

In 2013 Arkansas County EH members volunteered a total of 6,921 hours to the community. This was achieved through a number of service projects such as making lap robes and walker bags for nursing home patients, donations for the local food pantry, caps for cancer patients, knitted caps for Arkansas Children’s Hospital, Dana’s House projects, Pattillo School fundraiser, Charitable Christian Medical Clinic, Arkansas County 4-H, and Arkansas County Fair. Members also enjoy participating in district rallies, state workshops, and field trips to other counties to take part in educational programs and share ideas with fellow members across the state.

An EH Club is a group of individuals who meet regularly and learn together. Each month a designated leader from the club attends a leader training meeting conducted by the County Extension Agent - Family & Consumer Sciences,

who is a faculty member of the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service. This individual then shares the information with her fellow club members. Educational programs provided are research-based and include information related to strengthening families, extending resources, improving diet and health, and developing individuals. Each of the county clubs is unique and reflects the interests of the community it serves.

We would like to invite you to visit one of our local EH clubs and become a part of our organization.

If joining an EH club is not convenient or of interest to you, one may become a virtual club member or member-at large where all the services and educational programs extended to club members may be enjoyed without the affiliation of an individual club.

The following is a list of local EH clubs, designating when and where they meet:

1.

Gillett EHC meets the third Tuesday of each month in at the Rice Paddy Restaurant in Gillett.

2.

Key EHC meets the second Monday of each month in members’ homes in the DeWitt area.

3.

Maguire EHC meets the second Thursday of each month at the Willows Restaurant in DeWitt.

4.

New Providence/ Turley EHC meets the first Tuesday of each month at the County Extension Office, DeWitt.

5.

Prairie Gems EHC meets the third Thursday of each month at the County Extension Office, DeWitt.

FAITH & RELIGION WEEKLY SERMON

A 120 Year Old Prophetic Sermon was Fulfilled!

By William Wood There is a man in the Bible named Noah, who found grace in the sight of God. (Gen. 6:8) In speaking of him the Bible says that “Noah was a just man, and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.” (Gen. 6:9) This was God’s testimony concerning this man Noah! And becuase God knew all about Noah’s character, He knew He could trust him to preach something that was in God’s mind to do! God had seen that “The wickedness of man was great in the earth . . . and that he was evil continually.” (Gen. 6:5) Then in (Gen. 6:7) God expressed His thought concerning this evil and said, ”I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth.” Then God spoke to Noah personally and gave him this earth shaking, soul terrorizing message!! (Gen. 6:13) and in (Gen. 6:17) God told Noah that the destruction would come in the form of a “Flood of waters.” At this time there had never been any rain, but there “went up a mist from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.” (Gen 2:6) But Noah, having heard from God, began to preach that water was going to fall from the sky, and not only so, but every mountain would go under water, and all who didn’t get on the ark that he was building would drown!

And the Bible says that Noah preached this far out, unbelieveable message for 120 years.

(Gen. 6:3) He preached until he became the worlds numer one fanatic! He preached it until he was perhaps the first cult leader that we have record of! He preached it untill he lost face with ever friend he ever had, and even with members of his own family.

(All but seven of them) Eight people in all got on the ark, and escaped the flood. Noah was one of the eight. Noah was an outcast from the ministerial association, he was no longer welcome in his church group. No doubt he was accused of having a mental problem.

But, Noah found Grace in The Eyes of the Lord.” (Gemn. 6:8. And so after 120 years of a warning message the flood that God had predicted thru Noah came to pass!

God never sends judgement without fair warning the people.

And now we are in the very end of time, and ready for a 2000 year old prophecy to be fulfilled.

Yet the warning still goes forth, at least for October 23rd! Here is the prophecy that is about to come to pass! (2nd Peter 3:10) “But the day of The Lord shall come as a thief in the night, in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noice, and the elements shall ment with feverant heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”

Does this sound like a cult leader speaking tyo you? Will you aOOccuse the apostle Peter of being a cult leader? Will you deny that the Holy Ghost told Peter what to write?

Will you deny that God had this warning put in His Word for us today?

Will you deny all the warning signs that tell us this destruction is on the way? Will you continue to deny that God has already sent the prophet of Mal. 4:5 to warn the world just before this terrible day comes. God Himself waits for you personal answer to these questions. Your answers will determine your final destination! “Choose ye this day who you will serve.” (Deaut. 30:19) Amen

Evangelistic Walk Through the City Pastor Odessa Cash and members of Nichols Chapel have made plans for the “2nd Evangelistic Walk Through the City” to share the gospel message with the community of DeWitt. The event will be Saturday, October 26 at 10:00 a.m. The meeting will be at the DeWitt Court Square, where they will have prayer, and groups will get together to go north, south, east and west to knock on doors, pray and share the word of God with the community.

Packets of spiritual material and gifts will be given to each group along with information concerning individual church’s mission statements and weekly activi-

Heaven On My Mind

By Tom Smith

It’s been there a long time and grows sweeter every day.

Heaven.

Anymore it seems I think of that “Place prepared” more often than I used to. Could it be because I’m getting older? Or, is it a yearning to be free of this ‘ole world, its heartache and sorrow, pain and perplexity, etc.?

I don’t know.

But, I do know that I’m thankful such a Place exists and the One Who’s been working on it now for over 2,000 years has promised to come get me (and all others who trust Him) one of these days. And, as the song says, “What a Day, glorious Day that will be!” Hallelujah!!

Yes, ever since I was a boy I’ve believed in Heaven because I believe in God and His Word.

Truly, it’s a matter of Faith; however, even logic alone cries out for such a place—for, if there’s no Heaven, then life here on earth is meaningless.

And, when we die, we’re no better than some dead dog on the side of the road.

How thankful I am that’s not the case!!

When I was five-years-old my grandmother died.

Back then families still brought the bodies to the home prior to going to the cemetery. I still remember waking up the morning after she passed away, walking into the living room and finding her body in an open casket.

As I drew near, I asked someone if she was asleep. They told me she’d gone Home to be with Jesus and I’d see her again. I remember being held up so I could get a better look and saying she looked like she was asleep. And, I shed a few tears because she’d been a good grandmother and gave me cookies even though my mother said I couldn’t have any.

Isn’t that what grandmothers are for?

Anyway, Heaven became real to me that morning. And, for some 55 years now I’ve been looking forward to seeing her smiling face again. I’m sure she’ll be more beautiful than I can even imagine.

Through the years I’ve had many loved ones and friends join her in the “House not made with

The Lutheran Churches of South Arkansas County Invite You To Worship:

ties to leave at each contact made.

The walk will end at the old Walter Burse place on the grounds, and a victory celebration will be conducted by all participants with praise, prayer and words of thanks to the Lord for the day’s journey.

Ministry is needed outside of the church walls. The word of God encourages us to go out and compel them to come into the family of God. Matt. 28:19; Luke 10:1, 2 All pastors, ministers, deacons, layman, evangelists and all who have a desire to see the people in the community saved are asked to join. The community needs to see the unity of God’s people.

hands, eternal in the heavens” (II Corinthians 5:1). Both of my parents are there. My other grandmother’s there. My first wife is there. Several good friends are there.

And, knowing that one day I will see them again face-to-face and be with them for all eternity helps make this time here on earth more bearable.

But, none of that can compare to finally seeing Jesus, the One to Whom I gave my heart way back in 1960 when I was seven-years-old.

How you can love someone you’ve never seen or be homesick for somewhere you’ve never been can’t be understood by our natural mind; however, to those who believe, such is true and enriches your life the longer you live.

The anonymous author of the Epistle to the Hebrews in the New Testament said all the saints down through the years have referred to themselves as “strangers and pilgrims on this earth” (Heb. 11:13). This is difficult to understand until we think of it this way: Someone once wrote, “A vagabond is someone who has no home. A criminal is someone who’s running from home. A stranger is someone who’s away from home.

But, a Pilgrim is someone who’s headed toward Home.” Glory!!

So, as John Wayne would sometimes ask in his good, ‘ole Southern drawl, “Where ‘ya headed, Pilgrim?”

Here’s hoping you can answer with great assurance, “Heaven!!” If so, I hope you’re looking forward to going to that “Place of the Great No Mores” (Revelation 21:4). If not, here’s praying you’ll do what’s necessary to be ready to go there—which is simply placing your trust in Jesus as your Savior and Lord (John 14:6; Romans 10:9-10, 13). God bless you.

Biofuel Project Can Boost Delta Economy

Earhart Voted Crowd Favorite at Arkansas State Fair Queen Pageant

(Continued on Page B5

The Arkansas County community of DeWitt is the site for launch of the first “Farm to Fuel” project on October 29 that promises jobs and energy independence for the Arkansas Delta, the Arkansas Advanced Energy Foundation (AAEF) announced today.

The Foundation promotes greater public understanding of advanced energy in Arkansas through research, public education programs and economic and workforce development.

AAEF and alt.Consulting, a non-profit community economic development organization working in the Mississippi River Delta since 1998, have partnered to sponsor the event

that will convene farmers, entrepreneurs, educators, public officials, community leaders and advanced energy business leaders from across the Delta to mark production of the first gallon of biodiesel from local feedstocks at a mini-biorefinery in DeWitt.

The launch event will introduce a new winter, energy crop as well as the technology required to turn it into biofuel for the Delta and the region.

Following a press conference and panel presentation in the morning, Delta Regional Authority Chairman Chris Masingill will be the keynote speaker during a luncheon celebrating the launch.

Thank You To my larger community and church family, my sons, Jeff Dwayne (Koky), Donald Ray, and granddaughter, Donna Rayshell extend heartfelt thanks for your love and support during this period of mourning. You will never know how your love and support have touched our hearts and soothed our spirit.

COMMUNITY NEWS Behind Powerful D and Run Game the Dragons Win Again

By Kevin Brown Photos by Marilyn Rousseau The Junior Dragons keep rolling with a big win over Warren Thursday night. Utilizing a powerful run game and an improving defense they tacked up another “W” for the season.

Jamarious Bradford rushed for another game of over 100 yards and two touchdowns, with Jamari Gamble earning another 70 yards and returning an interception for a 25yard score. Alex Bay picked up an interception as well.

“The team played an excellent second half defensively and offensively,” Coach Horton said. “We forced three turnovers [in the second half] and that made a huge difference in the game. The defense has improved greatly since week one.

DeWitt visits the Dumas Bobcats this week in their last game of the year. The Coach said: “It’s a big game for us, not only because it’s the last game but because we have a chance to get to five wins and to be third all by ourselves in the conference.”

He added: “Our boys need to keep improving like they have been every week and play our game.”

Dragons Fall Missouri Cavaliers on the Move in Tough Road Loss

By Kevin Brown

The Senior Dragons suffered a tough road conference loss against the Warren Lumberjacks Friday night by a score of 56-13. Though still a winning season thus far at 4-3 overall, DeWitt falls to .500 in the conference at 2-2.

The Dragons welcome the Dumas Bobcats in a home conference game this Friday. The Bobcats are 1-6 on the season with a 1-3 conference record.

“Tough loss last week,” Coach Jones said. “We now look ahead to Dumas. Our boys are excited to get back out there.” He also said the team has had a good week of practice. “Dumas has very big linemen and speedy skill guys. We have to execute offensively.”

A victory would give DeWitt a winning conference record and a much needed confidence boost after last week’s defeat.

I have faith the Dragons can win out this year’s schedule. Your 2013 team is showing its fans, community and the other teams out there they will no longer be overlooked, looked down on or unlooked at. Despite an occasional setback, this year and the years going forward the DeWitt Dragons football team will be looked at.

With respect.

By Don Roth The October 13 battle of Marshall was the high point of Col. Jo Shelby’s 1863 Raid into Missouri. Approximately 1700-1800 Volunteer and Militia units desperately attempted to encircle and divide his command but the intrepid Shelby forced a way out of the entrapment and withdrew in two columns.

After moving through Waverly on the Missouri, he turned south to face a hostile 300 mile expanse to the Arkansas River while being hounded and harassed.

A rapid man-killing march brought the column to Osceola two days later. For the next three days Shelby kept the merciless pace which was more then what the pursuing Militia could endure. A sizeable force at Springfield was urged to intercept the raiders, and could have, but were likely too glad to let him ride by.

On October 20, the other half of the raiders miraculously rejoined their worn out counterparts at Bentonville Arkansas. The united column forded the river by that name at Clarksville on the 26th, only to battle an ugly snow and rainstorm before arriving at Washington on November 3, cold, starving, and exhausted.

In his official report Shelby claimed he had marched 1500 miles in 41 days and destroyed ten forts, $2 million worth of property, seized 300 wagons and 1200 small arms. Despite any exaggerated claims, he had undertaken a dangerous strategic raid-----the longest in the civil war, and wisely fought no pitched battles, except when cornered at Marshall where he suffered no less then 70 causalities. He failed to mention the loss of his two artillery pieces and of discarding the 12 light ammunition wagons he had taken from Arkansas. It should be mentioned he ably demonstrated how vulnerable Missouri was to invasion. The invasive expedition didn’t make national news; had it done so, the knowledge of a near chance of the Southern flag being raised over the capital of a Union state would have been an embarrassment to the Lincoln Administration as well as to the military authorities in St Louis.

(Deryl P. Sellmeyer, Jo Shelby’s Iron Brigade, Pelican Publishing, Gretna.2007) 129-142.

The rest of General Price’s cavalry division wasn’t idle either. A slashing attack by 300 of Col. Powell Clayton’s 5th Kansas against General Marmaduke’s right wing at Tulip brought on an expedition to take Clayton’s Pine Bluff stronghold.

On the morning of October 25-----one day before Shelby crossed the Arkansas at Clarksville, Gen. Marmaduke executed plans he had developed to assault the courthouse area with three converging columns fighting dismounted. While getting his 2400 troopers into position he called for a flag of truce to demand Clayton’s surrender, which gave Clayton time to deploy his 600-700 troops and fortify the place with cotton bales.

Fierce house to house fighting developed which stymied the Confederate advance. Next, Marmaduke unleashed up to ten pieces of artillery at buildings; the courthouse took a hammering. But Clayton held on stubbornly while his cannon and sharpshooters effectively commanded the approaches to the courthouse square. In frustration Marmaduke attempted to burn the Federals out of Pine Bluff.

This was not how a tactical assault was supposed to be conducted and it only succeeded in burning to death some of his wounded. Col. Clayton ordered a bucket brigade of former slaves to douse the buildings adjoining the square.

By mid-afternoon the operation was abandoned when the Missouri General wisely decided not to sacrifice his men in a bloody assault. An orderly withdrawal was made toward Arkadelphia. Marmaduke claimed 101 causalities in his botched assault while Clayton counted his losses at 40.

Pet Talk: Pet Vaccinations

Vaccinations are a critical component to the preventive care of your companion animal. Your health, as well as your pet’s, depends on it. While this may seem like common knowledge to some, the topic of pet vaccination can be quite controversial, making it a hot topic in veterinary medicine today.

Most veterinary professionals agree that vaccinating your pets is the best way to protect them from various life threatening illnesses. “Controversy about vaccinating your pet is usually centered around misinformation or the false concept in humans that suggest vaccinations cause autism,” said Dr. Bethany Schilling, Clinical Instructor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences. Choosing vaccinations specific to your animal’s health and lifestyle should be an informed decision made between you and your veterinarian.

Many pet owners believe that the possible dangers of pet vaccinations outweigh the positive aspects. One risk that worries pet owners is the chance that their pet will have a negative reaction from the vaccination. While this is a viable concern, Schilling and many other veterinarians agree that this occurrence is rare. “Vaccine reactions are usually non-life threatening, are easily treated, and can typically be prevented in the future,” said Schilling. “Reactions in dogs are typically swelling of the face or hives, and reactions in cats are typically vomiting or diarrhea.”

Vaccines do not guarantee that your pet will not become sick, just like a human getting the flu vaccine can still catch the flu, but it will likely minimize the seriousness of illness in your pet.

Vaccines help build up your pets’ immune system so that their chances of becoming ill when exposed to disease are much lower. They can prevent many upper respiratory diseases in cats such as herpes, calicivirus, and panleukemia, as well as feline leukemia and rabies. There are vaccines to prevent various diseases, such as parvovirus, leptospirosis, Lyme disease, Bordetella, and rabies, in dogs as well.

Biofuel Project Can Boost Delta Economy â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Farm to Fuelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Will Use Natural Resources to Bring New Jobs to the Arkansas Delta

(continued from Page A7)

The mini-biorefinery, operated by local entrepreneur Johnny Davis, will utilize a technology developed

by Springboard Diesel to produce small batches of biofuel with annual capacity of 80,000 gallons per year.  As demand increases, DeWitt will obtain a larger micro-biorefinery designed by Dr. Srikant Gir and developed at the Marion Berry Renewable Energy Research Center at Mid-South Community College. It will have a production capacity of 200,000 to 1 million gallons per year. Once DeWitt has outgrown the mini-biorefinery, alt.Consulting will move it to develop the next Community of Innovation.  Community leaders in DeWitt saw the opportunity in developing a biofuel resource and became the first Community of Innovation to begin producing biodiesel. The fuel will utilize feedstocks from an energy crop grown in the Delta called Camelina and waste vegetable oil. Once processed into ASTM standard biodiesel, it will be sold locally to power municipal trucks and equipment, school buses, farm vehicles and other private vehicles. Any excess fuel will be sold to fuel blenders in Arkansas and Memphis. And, because of no transportation costs and ready availability, the locally-produced biodiesel will be price competitive in Delta communities with petroleum products while creating jobs and business opportunities locally.  According to data developed by analysts at alt.Consulting, the projected economic impact of the project in DeWitt will generate over $2 million per year in new economic activity once the micro-refinery is operating at capacity and producing 1 million gallons of fuel per year.  This impact is expected to be realized within just 2 years of implementation. alt.Consulting seeks to replicate this model in as many Delta communities as are interested in participating.

After researchers at Arkansas State University (ASU) and Phillips Community College of the University of Arkansas (PCCUA) tested Camelina, they joined with alt.Consulting to recruit growers across the region and ensured these growers that there will be a buyer for the new, alternative crop.   According to researchers at ASU and PCCUA, Camelina fits into the planting and harvesting seasons of traditional Delta crops so it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compete with existing food production. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planted in October or November, and after a short growing season of only 85-100 days, Camelina is harvested in early May, allowing farmers to plant soybeans at the optimum time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The City of Dewitt is excited to be the first community in the Delta to utilize this technology, and we look forward to the day when we have enough feedstock to enable the introduction of the micro-biorefinery and we get to pass the mini-biorefinery on to the next

town,â&#x20AC;? said Dewitt Mayor Ralph Relyea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farm to Fuel is a smart investment for our city and an innovative way to make the most of the natural resources that the Delta provides its people.â&#x20AC;?

As the Farm to Fuel project matures, rural communities across the region will have the capacity to generate, utilize, and market millions of gallons of biodiesel produced from local energy crop feedstocks grown and harvested just miles away.

Current sponsors of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farm to Fuelâ&#x20AC;? event include Phillips Community College of the University of Arkansas, Farmers & Merchants Bank of DeWitt, Arkansas Farm Bureau, and Southern Ag of DeWitt.  The October 29 event begins with a press conference and mini-biorefinery tour at 10:00 a.m. and continues through the day. The Agenda for Farm to Fuel is as follows: 10:00 a.m. Press Conference & Mini-Biorefinery Tour 523 S. Jefferson Street DeWitt, AR 72042 Participants will be introduced to the Farm to Fuel project and meet the key partners for project implementation. Participants will also be the first to see the biofuel technology by rotating through demonstration stations featuring Camelina crushing with a mobile crush unit, a refining station with waste vegetable oil, and Camelina oil being run through the refinery.
