HALLOWEEN CARNIVAL AT DEWITT SR. CENTER

FAMILY LOSES EVERYTHING IN HOUSE FIRE

TRICK OR TREAT ON THE SQUARE

By Terrye Seamon “God be with whomever that is because they are going to need it,” Tiffani Burns told her children when she saw the smoke across town as she pulled into the parking lot of a local restaurant. Little did Burns know that she was saying a prayer for herself and her family as a fire consumed their house at 1308 Lee Street on Sunday, September 28. The fire, which resulted from the wiring in the furnace, was first spotted by a neighbor across the street when he noticed smoke under Burns’ carport. When Burns arrived on the scene, the carport was on fire as well as the car under the carport, and smoke was coming out of the eaves of her house. The entire house and all of the family’s possessions were lost. “Everything we own, other than what was on our backs and in our vehicles, is gone,” Burns said. The situation almost turned into a three-house fire, damaging the two houses on each side of hers. It had already melted one neighbor’s fence and eaves and smoked up and damaged the other neighbor’s home by the time the firemen had a handle on it. Ten more minutes and Burns said dam-

age to the neighbors’ homes would have been much worse. Apparently there was some difficulty reporting the fire. Burns said that several people had tried calling 911, but they couldn’t get through. When a call was placed, it would just ring, but no one would answer. “I don’t know why it wasn’t answered,” Burns said. She said that the call log showed that approximately fifty calls had been placed to 911, but only two had actually been answered according to the 911 system relay record. Burns said that at least one phone call to report the fire was placed directly to the DeWitt Police Department. It was 35-45 minutes between the first sign of the fire being spotted by the neighbor and the fire department arriving at the scene. “I’m not saying that they did wrong. I’m just saying that it [the 911 system] did not work,” Burns said. There has been some speculation about whether the difficulty in placing those 911 calls to report Burns’ house fire was related to a previous fire September 23 at the Arkansas County Courthouse in Stuttgart. The courthouse fire,

LOCAL NEWS EWITT POLICE REPORT

October 12, 2014 – Officer Johnathan Powell was dispatched to 19 Crescent Park Dr. to take a report of a hit and run. Upon arrival, he spoke with Randy Traylor. Traylor told Powell that while he was shopping at Piggly Wiggly, someone backed into his truck. He said that a woman told him that a black car had backed into his front bumper. He said that a woman gave him a receipt with a license plate number of 475 SIT written on it. Traylor said that he did not know who the witness was. Powell then looked at the front of Traylor’s truck and could see that the gap between the metal and plastic parts of the bumper was not even all the way across. Powell did not see any scratches or paint transfer. Powell was unable to reach the car’s owner, Hilda Clemmons, for comment. October 13, 2014 - A BOLO (Be On the Look Out) was issued over the radio for a red extended cab Chevrolet truck coming into town from the Tichnor area, driven by Carla Jones. The BOLO stated that Jones was not authorized to drive the vehicle. Officer Johnathan Powell was parked at Circle N Exxon watching for the vehicle to come into town. When Powell saw a truck matching its description drive by on Hwy 1, Powell got

behind the truck, and it pulled into Conoco 1 Stop. Powell pulled in behind the vehicle and identified the driver as Carla Jones. Officer Powell then had dispatch run Jones’ driver’s license information, and learned that she had a warrant out of DeWitt and that her license is restricted so that she must have an ignition interlock device on any vehicle she drives. The truck did not have an interlock device. Jones was placed under arrest for the warrant and for not having an ignition interlock device. While walking Jones to his vehicle, he noticed that she was having a difficult time maintaining her balance. On Powell’s stop with Jones, he saw an open can of Bud Light LimeA-Rita in the center console. The can was nearly empty, cold to the touch, and had condensation near the bottom of the can. There was also a twelve pack box of the Lime-A-Rita’s with only four cans left in the box. Because of Jones’ open container and lack of balance, Powell contacted Trooper Chris Aaron of the Arkansas State Police and had him meet Powell at the jail. Troop Aaron conducted a standardized field sobriety test of Jones and determined that she was intoxicated. Trooper Aaron charged Jones with Driving while intoxicated, second offense.

After returning to the police department, the dispatcher informed Officer Powell that the caller, Brenda Jones (Carla Jones’ mother-in-law) had stated that Carla Jones had her young son with her and attempted to start her car and take her son with her, but the interlock device would not allow her to start the vehicle. Jones then left her child with her and took the truck. Photos were taken of the Lime-A-Ritas. October 13, 2014 – Officer Jody Chapman was dispatched to 112 East Maxwell Street. The caller, Velma Baker, advised her nephew, Danny Roberts, was at her residence. Roberts is not supposed to be on his aunt’s property and has been arrested for it in the past. Dispatch advised that they could hear Roberts speaking in the background. Upon arrival Roberts was standing on his front porch, feeding a stray puppy some cookies. When asked why he went to his aunts, he replied he had to go over there to try to get something to eat. Roberts advised that his aunt gets all his money and will not give him any money or food. Roberts advised that he has been over there “two or three times” this morning. While speaking with Roberts, Baker came out on her porch and asked officer to “just knock him in the head and take him to jail.” Roberts was arrested without incident and transported to the Arkansas County Detention Center where he was charged with Criminal Trespassing (5-39-203) by written citation (No. 013395.)

Local Homicide Case Still Goes Unsolved By Terrye Seamon After four months, local and state authorities still continue to investigate the death of Brice Stoddard last June 13. “You never quit hoping,” Arkansas State Police Special Agent Scott Rosegrant said concerning the case. Stoddard, 38, was

mowing his yard on McAdams Road in DeWitt the evening of the 13th when he was allegedly shot. His body was sent to the Arkansas Crime Lab to determine the manner and cause of death. Although the case has been ruled a homicide, it is still ongoing, and authorities cannot

LETTER TO THE EDITOR We have been neighbors of Michael Burford for years- years that he has been very thoughtful to us. He is a very intelligent man, does his own work in order to expand his business at a minimum cost, does nothing half way and is willing to help out when he sees a need. He is a “get’er done now” kind of guy

and looks for ways to do the job at hand if it can or can’t be done you will have the explanation and your input considered for the solution. These are attributes we observe and admire about Michael- he is a good neighbor. Lowell and Norma J. Counce

FAITH & RELIGION WEEKLY SERMON

The Soul Winning Salesman

By William Wood

A Soul Winner for the Lord Jesus Christ is a salesman, but there is a difference between a salesman who sells natural goods, and a salesman who is selling Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world! The worldly Salesman studies the needs and the tastes of his customers. He wants to sell at all costs. It is his pride and paycheck to talk customers into buying something, even though they have no use for it, and really don’t even want it. This is why he must flatter his customers. The salesman who is selling Christ and Eternal Life, (The God called minister) does not want to push his message on others at all costs. On the contrary, he is ready to accept disappointment and resistance. He knows that the more truth of the scriptures he brings out, and the more directly he preaches it to his hearers, the more they will probably see in it an attack on them! Many will see it as he preacher trying to tend to their business, and the mind set is, “Nobody is going to tell me what to do.” The lost person does not so much mind the conventional kind of preaching. It is so familiar to them that they can sit through a service and not be at all moved. But let a minister touch on the part of their lives that is wrong, and he will at once feel the resistance. And if

he continues that message he is very apt to be up for removal! But a message that does not shake a person to his foundation, until the spoken word becomes a goal in his flesh, that message is a compromising one, and will not be a soul winning sermon! The minister who stays with the Word is ready to have stones thrown at him. He is not looking to be approved by the majority. To be favored by the world is to lose favor with God. Noah found favor with God, and it cost him his favor with the people. Only seven others believed his message. How popular are we ministers with the modern church around? An honest answer will be a sign as to the degree of truth we are bringing, especially will we be unpopular if we preach holiness. Do not touch on that, that is if you expect to be voted back in at the next election. A soul winner is not usually found to be the pastor of a large congregation. This is because a soul winner must touch on the sins of the people, then woo them to repentance. This delving into personal lives always thins down the crowd, while ignoring the wrongs will build a crowd! A soul winner is not moved by a crowd, nor by the lack of one. He knows that one soul won to Christ is worth ten thousand worlds. Dear God, make out of us soul winners. Amen.

Be Not in the Dark

Pastor Steve Ellison We could spend a lifetime studying what the Bible says about God as Light. What I will do here, could not even qualify as scratching the surface. 1 John 1:5-8 states, This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. (NASU) God is Light. The Bible refers to Jesus by many descriptive titles. He is described as the Bright Morning Star and as The Sun. The most dramatic is Jesus’ own use of the term “I Am” which hearkens back to the Burning Bush episode, as well as a large portion of the latter half of Isaiah. Jesus specifically and literally called Himself “the I Am who is the Light of the world” in John 8:12 and John 9:25. Many other New Testament passages indirectly refer to Jesus in that capacity. The book of John opens with a marvelous description of Jesus as the true Light shining in the darkness, coming into the world to enlighten every man. John 1 declares that Jesus’ life is the Light of men. John 3 says that we are judged because Light has come into the world and that we love the darkness, but hate the Light because He exposes our deeds. John 3 also famously states that the Light came into the world so that whoever believes in Him will be saved. 2 Corinthians 4:46 tells us that Satan tries to keep us from seeing the Light, the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For we

do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. (NASU) Our eternal destiny depends on how we respond to the Light that God has sent to us. If we hate the Light and love the darkness, we will spend eternity separated from the Light in a place of total and eternal darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. To those who have trusted in Jesus, He said in Matthew 5:14-16, You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. (NASU) Christians have been given a responsibility. God has chosen Christians to carry on the work of Christ in the world. Ephesians 5:6-10 further clarifies our responsibility, Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them; for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light (for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth), trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. (NASU) As Christians, we are called to leave darkness behind.

“The Real Battle” By Tom Smith

“And God gave them over to a reprobate mind. . .” (Romans 1:28b). When Paul penned those words in the first century A.D., he was warning the Christians who lived in Rome about the dangers of sin. Repeatedly through vv. 24-32 of chapter one he pointed out the ill-effects of the sin of homosexuality/ lesbianism. And, he also warned of God’s Judgment upon this type of lifestyle by saying “God gave them up” or “God gave them over to” (vv.24, 26, 28). Now, it’s important to note that Paul didn’t say “God gave up on them,” for He never does that until our dying day. However, His “giving one up or over to” a sinful lifestyle basically means He’s turning one over to his sinful ways to self-destruct—which is a horrible thing with devastating consequences. Sadly, part of this is turning them over to a “reprobate mind,” which is a “perverse or perverted mind; one darkened or alienated in understanding, etc.” Simply put, it’s a corrupt mind rooted in depravity which calls evil good and also applauds others who indulge in a particular sin (v.32). We should also notice that the ab ove - m e nt i on e d sins of homosexuality and lesbianism are also listed alongside many others: “unrighteousness, fornication (which also includes pornography), wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, gossipers, backbiters, haters of God, insolent, proud boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable and unmerciful” (vv.29-31). Quite a list, isn’t it? And, in reality, it covers us all. Thus, instead of picking out a few sins (that we don’t feel we commit) and judging those that commit them, we should humble ourselves before God, cry out for His Mercy and repent. Otherwise, we, too, will be under the same

We do that by bearing the fruit of Light which is goodness, righteousness, truth, and pleasing

the Lord. Embrace the Light!. ..……..…..pastorsteve8800@gmail.com

Wrath/Judgment of God. Right now in our country we have a battle going on. It’s not just the war on terror, drug or human trafficking, corporate crimes, etc. It’s the “Battle For the Soul,” i.e., the hearts and minds of men, women, boys and girls. And, sadly, it looks like the forces of darkness of winning—for now. Think about it: Everybody and their brother are coming out of the closet right now while Bible-believing Christians are going into the closet to hide. Believers are seemingly more afraid now of lawsuits and others’ scorn than the early Christians were of the sword, lion’s mouth, being sawn in half, boiled in oil, etc. (Hebrews 11:3240). And, then we wonder why our nation’s in the shape she is. So long as atheists can have a field day at our expense by threatening lawsuits they’ll continue. And, sadly, our court system also seems to have been turned over to a reprobate mind because they repeatedly keep ruling in the atheists’ favor. But, dear Reader, that can change— IF we who believe in Biblical views and values will stand up and be counted. Too long have we Christians allowed others to intimidate us. There’s a real war raging—a spiritual one—and it’s time for us to get in the Battle. May we wear the “Full Armor of God” (Ephesians 6:10-18) and stand firm in the Faith, for much is at stake here. Here’s praying you’ll join me in this battle. Here’s hoping you’ll also encourage your pastor/priest and congregation to do the same. Together we stand; divided we fall. It’s that simple. May God grant us the strength and courage we need. God bless you. (NOTE: If you’d like to contact Bro. Tom or receive his daily e-mail devotional, entitled “Morning Manna,” you can write him at P.O.

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 well-remembered 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, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, age, disability, marital or veteran status, or any other legally protected status, and is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. In 2014 Arkansas County EH members volunteered a total of 8733 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, teaching dolls and knitted caps for Arkansas Children’s Hospital, Dana’s House projects, 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 informa-

tion 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 Vote Against Issue 3” Brings 10-ft Tall Trojan Horse To DeWitt

LEFT - Co-Chairman of Arkansas Term Limits Bob Porto BELOW - Vote against amendment 3 sign

By Shelly Faulkner The “Vote Against Issue 3” campaign brought a large 10 feet tall Trojan Horse to the DeWitt Court Square October 15th. The campaigns co-chairman, Bob Porto has traveled all over Arkansas trying to get voters to vote against Issue 3 in the upcoming election. The campaign sees the ballot issue as a self-serving effort by the state legislature to weaken the term limits passed overwhelmingly by vot-

ers by voters back in 1992 and reaffirmed by an even more overwhelming vote in 2004. The campaign will be traveling across the state with the eye-catching horse, in hopes of drawing voter’s attention to the deception. “We’re working to get the word out to voters that Issue 3 is a Trojan Horse from legislators and lobbyists,” said Tim Jacob, chairman of Arkansas Term Limits. “The ballot title is terribly misleading, and

voters need to know to vote against this effort, which would more than double the limits in place.” Current limits in the House are 6 years and in the Senate 8 years. “The legislators and lobbyists behind Issue 3 pretend they care about ethics reform,” Jacob added. “But they are trying to sneak another weakening our term limits law past the voters. They won’t succeed.”

which was a result of arson, completely destroyed the annex building where the 911 operations center was located. Even though the 911 system was destroyed, Arkansas County Judge Glenn “Sonny” Cox said, “We had 911 back up and running in twenty minutes.” He explained that Century Tel’s central office rerouted 911 calls to Stuttgart’s three police lines, and if all three lines are tied up, then a caller will get a busy signal. When the 911 system is operating properly, Cox said that a caller never gets a busy signal. The system just stacks up the callers and keeps ringing so 911 personnel can call them back. “What I think happened is that everybody with a cell phone that came by there started calling 911, and I think it inundated the 3-line system that we had up and running. We wanted the recorder on it, but by the time we got a loaner recorder back in here, it was a day or two later,” Cox said. He further explained that when a 911 call is placed from a cell phone, the first ring goes to the tower, the second ring goes to the central office, and the third ring the caller hears is the first ring the person on the receiving end actually hears. The way the temporary three-phone system that is routed through the Stuttgart Police Department is set up, the call goes to a primary line where it is programmed to pick up on the fourth ring. If it’s not picked up, then there is a click, and it rolls over to the second line, rings four more times, clicks again and rolls over to the third line. “That click could make people think you lost your call,” Cox explained. “I just hate it for her. Even though our 911 system was down, the call was handled properly,” Cox said.

Assistant Fire Chief Bill Paxton said, “At approximately 12:40 p.m., we were dispatched by the DeWitt Police Department to a structure fire on Lee Street.” A second page, which is part of dispatching procedure, was sent out at 12:41 p.m. And at 12:45 p.m., a second fire truck was dispatched just in case it was needed. Paxton said it took approximately 8 minutes from first being dispatched to arrive at the scene. Firemen had the fire under control within 45 minutes to 1½ hours, but the entire process, from start to finish, took approximately four hours. He said it was between 4:00 to 4:30 before the fire was completely out. Despite all of the chaos and problems reporting the fire, Burns had nothing but praise for DeWitt’s volunteer fire department. Once the firemen arrived, she said they did a wonderful job. “These people stop what they are doing. It’s harvest. They are cutting beans and corn, and they’re on trucks. They stop what they are doing and do this. I really do appreciate what they’ve done,” Burns said. Burns noted with appreciation the outpouring of support for her and her family from the local community and churches. People have shown their support by providing food, clothes and money during the family’s current crisis. “And all the prayers. The prayers are what have gotten her through,” said Donna Miller, Burns’ mother. “God has a plan for me, and I rely a lot on my faith and beliefs to carry us,” Burns said. Donations to help the Burns’ family can be made to the Damon and Tiffani Burns House Fire Account at Farmers and Merchants Bank in DeWitt.

The Grand Prairie Quilt Society The Grand Prairie Quilt Society met October 8 at the Stuttgart Public Library with nine members present and one guest, Ann Ruffin, from West Memphis. Glenda opened the meeting with the thought for the day...Thread a needle, tie a knot, sew a stitch as we were taught... . The September minutes and treasurer’s report were read and approved. Under Old Business: There were several reports from AWOL (the quilt retreat at the 4-H Center) held last month. Betty had a fabulous time and learned a lot. Shelley said she had never seen so many Featherweights (sewing machine) in one place. Maeola and LouAnna also enjoyed looking at everyone’s projects and getting new ideas. Under New Business: Glenda reported that three of the ladies of the Arkansas Quilters Guild from Maumelle who attended AWOL will be coming to the Grand Prairie Quilt Society for a special Sit ‘n Sew on October 29th to hold a workshop on several new block patterns. The members decided to have a potluck so bring something tasty on the 29th. Eunice came by to invite the members to enter a quilt in the Hazen Rice Festival and Quilt Show at the armory in Hazen on October 25. You may bring your quilt to Eunice’s house on Wednesday, the 22nd, and she will take it to the show for you. You may pick up your quilt after 4:00 on the day of the show or she will bring it back to Stuttgart for you. Ann brought many quilt, crochet, and embroidery books and patterns for the members. Everyone had a great time browsing through the collection and picking out those of interest to them. During Show and Share: Maeola showed an embroidery and applique

cupcake pillow she made for her Great-granddaughter, and also an appliqued Cardinal pillow; Betty had a set of triangle blocks she learned to make at AWOL; Shelley showed the exploding block that was demonstrated at AWOL and also a square in a square block made with the 10” layer cake blocks. After the meeting, Shelley demonstrated how to make a block using paper piecing. She distributed paper pattern pieces to the members and everyone tackled the project. It became noticeably quieter as we wracked our brains trying to follow the directions. More than one had to rip out a seam and start over. But eventually we were all successful and were very proud of our pieced block. A pleasant lunch hour followed as everyone dug into their sack lunches and talked of present and past sewing projects. After lunch several different projects evolved. Maeola started a picnic/tote blanket for her granddaughter; Betty worked on a strip quilt she started at AWOL; Glenda pieced some Fall Leaf blocks; Shelley worked on a disappearing four-patch block; Marsha made a heart pin cushion and a mending kit/pin cushion. Important October events coming up: October 25, Hazen Rice Festival and Quilt Show... Call Eunice Montgomery at 673-7084 for more information on entering your quilt. October 29, Special Sit ‹n Sew and potluck at the Stuttgart Public Library with members of the Arkansas Quilters Guild from Little Rock. They will be giving a workshop on several new block patterns. The next regular meeting will be November 12th at 9:30 at the Stuttgart Public Library.

LOCAL SCHOOLS 7th Grade Game By Dawn Teer

The 7th grade Dragons put up quite an effort against the Warren Lumberjacks on Thursday with Johnta Wright, Terrance Ticey, and Josh Dabner each scoring touchdowns. . Dabner and Ticey each added a 2 pt. conversion but still fell short 22-26. Coach Lewis looks forward to the big home game Thursday against

Dumas for the season finale. Last week was a tough game for us. Warren was big up front and had fast athletes. We didn’t get much going on them all night on offense and on defense it was hard to catch up to their speed. This week we have Dumas at home. It’s our last game of the year and we want to end the season on a high note.

Rowe selected Academic All-Star at PCCUA

Phillips Community College of the University of Arkansas (PCCUA) announces the selection of the student who represents the mark of excellence throughout its three-campus district. Dustin Rowe, of DeWitt, has been named PCCUA’s new Academic All-Star. This scholarship program is designed to honor excellence in academics and leadership. Rowe has been honored by the Arkansas Association of Two Year Colleges (AATYC) along with other All-Star students chosen to represent each two-year college within the AATYC. Each recipient will receive a $500 scholarship toward completion of an associate degree and, upon graduation, will be eligible for a transfer scholarship to any public four-year institution in Arkansas. Currently pursuing a degree in business administration, Rowe says PCCUA has positively impacted his journey to becoming a lawyer. Without it, he wouldn’t have the confidence and leadership skills needed for public speaking. Rowe’s plans include graduating from PCCUA next spring, transferring to the University of Arkansas at

Fayetteville for his bachelor’s degree, applying to law school and someday running for a political office. “I want to thank this school for helping me grow in ways I couldn’t have done on my own,” he said. PCCUA instructor Phyllis Fullerton said Rowe is a dedicated student leader on campus, serving as a Student Ambassador, adding that he isn’t afraid to step forward, make suggestions, and encourage student involvement. He demonstrated his resourcefulness and creativity when he designed and submitted a plan to form an esports team on the DeWitt campus. The goals of the club were to help students gain communication skills, develop leadership skills, and have fun through student engagement. Fullerton noted, “Dustin has a wonderful outlook. No matter what the subject, you can count on his positive attitude.” PCCUA DeWitt Campus Vice Chancellor Carolyn Turner described Rowe as self-motivated and willing to put in all of the necessary work to be successful.

Arkansas two-year college. Applicants must have completed at least 24 credit hours in pursuit of an associate degree. Each must also currently post a cumulative grade point average of not less than 3.25 out of a possible 4.0 in all credit coursework taken at that college. As part of the application process, students are also required to have letters of recommendation and write an essay.

She added, “Dustin tries his best to set a positive example for others; he does not follow the crowd. He is a leader in the classroom with a real desire for learning, and he strives to do the best he can do in each class and was recently inducted into Phi Theta Kappa honor society.” To be eligible for Academic All-Star nomination, students must be currently enrolled in an

LOCAL SCHOOLS

Senior High Dragon Football By Dawn Teer The Sr. High Dragons met the Warren Lumberjacks at Dragon Stadium on Friday, October 17th. The Dragons received the ball first. The kick went out of bounds so a five yard penalty gave the Dragons a 1st and 10 at their own 35. The next play the Dragons received a false start penalty. D.D. Bradford ran for 5 yards. Rieves passed to Dayne Van Camp and it was enough for a first down. The Dragons continued to move the ball. On 4th and 1 Rieves kept the ball and came up short on the first down. They turn the ball over on downs. The Dragon defense held strong and the Lumberjacks had to punt. An unsportsmanlike contact penalty moved the ball back 15 yards. The offense couldn’t get it going and the Lumberjacks had the ball again. From the Dragon 29 yard line and a 1st and 15, the Lumberjacks made 14 yards to bring up 2nd and 1. A short pass and Lumberjacks were in the end zone. The point after was good. Score: Dragons 0, Lumberjacks 7. The Lumberjacks kicked the ball to the Dragons who took over at the 35 yard line. D.D. Bradford seemed to be the favored player tonight with Jake Rieves. Bradford seemed to have focus tonight and rewarded the team with several good plays. The Dragons once again could get nothing going and had to punt. The Lumberjacks got good field position taking over the ball beginning at their own 49 yard line. The Dragon Defense really stepped up their play tonight getting in the Lumberjacks face more than once. They pushed them back to the 45 yard line with a sack. This brought up the end of the 1st quarter. 2nd down and 10 from the Dragon 19 yard line and the Lumberjacks just kept coming. The Dragon defense was holding tough once again. On 3rd and goal from the 2 yard line the Dragon wall was still holding, bringing up 4th and goal. They scored on the next play, but there was a flag on the play. The Lumberjacks received a holding

penalty and brought the ball back, bringing up 4th and 11. The Dragon defense held and the Dragons took over on downs deep in their own territory. Charles Dabner was the favored man on this drive and drove for the first down, methodically. On 3rd and 9, Jake Rieves kept the ball and went up the middle for a Dragon first down. On 3rd and 10 Rieves pass was incomplete, bringing up 4th and 10. Zach Horner came on to punt for the Dragons. On the first play after the punt Lumberjacks made a great pass play and scored again. The point after was good. Score: Dragons 0, Lumberjacks 14. Jamari Gamble forced a fumble and recovered it for the Dragons, but the offense couldn’t capitalize on the play. The Lumberjacks didn’t have the problems the Dragons have had all year, being unable to complete passes and making first downs. They drove the ball right back down the field for another touchdown. The point after was good. Score: Dragons 0, Lumberjacks 21. The half ended with this score. As the 2nd half began, the Dragons kicked off to the Lumberjacks and two plays later the Lumberjacks were looking at the end zone. They scored. The extra point was good. Score: Dragons 0, Lumberjacks 28. The Dragons received a roughing the kicker penalty. The penalty was assessed on the kickoff. Tyran Robinson returned the ball on the kickoff. It looked like the offense might actually get things going on this possession. The Dragons drove down to the Lumberjack 29 yard line. After a false start penalty on the Dragons, and a trick play Dayne Van Camp passed the ball to Jake Rieves who took it to the 14 yard line of the Lumberjacks. It looked like the Dragons might get into the end zone. On 3rd and 7 from the 11, Jake Rieves kept the ball but was stopped short at the 2 yard line. Charles Dabner took it in for a Dragon touchdown. The point after was good.

Dragon Pride Defensive Player of the Week Week 7 - DeWitt vs. Warren
