PCCUA DEWITT CAMPUS STUDENT OF THE MONTH Cindy Papa, an Office Technology with Medical Office major, has been selected by the DeWitt Campus chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, the National Honor Society for community colleges, as the Student of the Month. Cindy is an excellent student and serves the campus as a Student Ambassador. She admits that at first she was scared, having being out of a classroom environment for more than 30 years. The staff and students were so welcoming, and she felt right at home, and at that point, she knew she had made the right decision to attend PCCUA DeWitt Campus. She says, “I
could not be happier or more thankful to everyone here.” Cindy would recommend PCCUA to others because of the smaller class size. She feels it is a better opportunity to know the instructors and fellow students better. There is a great deal of interaction among everyone. She has one son who is an RN at St. Francis Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. He is currently in the National Guard Reserves and will be continuing his education, and this has inspired her to do the same. Along with school, Cindy enjoys woodworking and painting.

LOCAL NEWS EWITT POLICE REPORT
On October 2, 2014 at 6:49 PM, dispatch received a call of a vehicle turned on its side on 6th Street, just off of Whitehead Drive. Officer Johnathan Powell responded, along with Officer Brad Bazarow. The Officers checked the vehicle and found no occupants, and the keys were not in the car. Bazarow ran the license plate, and it returned to Mrs. Alma Jean Cunningham. Officer Bazarow got dispatched to another call, and Powell stayed for the wrecker. Roger Capps arrived and pulled the car out of the ditch. Powell looked in the car and could not find any keys to the vehicle. Because Cunningham lives out in the county, Powell called Deputy Randy Bateman and told him that he would be going to talk to Mrs. Cunningham. Powell went to Mrs. Cunningham’s house just after 8:00 PM. As Powell arrived, a van left Mrs. Cunningham’s house. Powell saw a man he believed to be Mr. Cunningham walk into the house. Powell notified Deputy Bateman that Mr. Cunningham was home, and that there was a chance that he’d have to arrest him. Deputy Bateman said that he would head his direction. Mrs. Cunningham stated Mr. Christopher Cunningham had asked her for a ride earlier in the day.
She said that she told him that she was going to go to her other house. Mr. Cunningham got into her car, and as she was going to her car, he drove off. Mrs. Cunningham said that Mr. Cunningham is not allowed to drive her car, and that he knows this. At this time, Deputy Bateman arrived to assist. Mr. Cunningham admitted to driving the car to pick up someone named “Jolly”. He said that “Jolly” is the one who wrecked the car. Mr. Cunningham smelled of intoxicating beverages, had slurred and disoriented speech, and had trouble maintaining his balance. Powell had to catch him to prevent him from falling multiple times. Deputy Bateman asked Mr. Cunningham where he was going, and Mr. Cunningham said, “You want to know the truth? I was going to get a piece of (expletive).” Mrs. Cunningham asked Mr. Cunningham where her keys were. Mr. Cunningham gave multiple answers. He stated that he left them in the car, and Powell told him they were not in the vehicle. He then told Mrs. Cunningham she had them, but she said she didn’t. Mr. Cunningham was placed under arrest for unauthorized use of a vehicle, leaving the scene of an accident, driving while license is suspended
due to DWI, and driving while intoxicated (3rd offense). He was transported to the Arkansas County Detention Center. October 1, 2014 - Officer Brad Bazarow went to 523 S. Washington to assist Officer Jody Chapman on a domestic call. Upon arrival Chapman and Officer Jennifer Crossett were already in the house talking to the two subjects. The female subject, Latonda Annis, was wanting the male subject Jonathan Annis to leave the property because they were in an argument. Officer Chapman had the two subjects calm and Latonda Annis had walked outside where she was talking to the neighbors. Annis came out of the house holding a television. At that time Annis stated loudly “(expletive).” Chapman then informed Annis if he cursed again in front of the neighbors and the small children that were there, he would go to jail for disorderly conduct. At that time Annis stated, “This is (expletive),” very loud. Chapman then informed Annis he was under arrest for disorderly conduct and to put the television down, and he kept walking. Bazarow then drew his taser and ordered Annis to stop. When he did stop, he would not stay against the wall for Bazarow to cuff him. He then had to hold him on the wall of the trailer next door. The whole time Annis was cursing and hollering at his ex. Officer Chapman then transported Annis to the Arkansas County Detention Center without further incident.

GREETINGS: Hello, Y’all. How does everyone like these nice cool days we had this past week? Just about right, huh? If I did not have so many cotton-pic-kin allergies, this would be perfection. But seems like during harvest season every year, one allergy tries to out do the other allergies. So, I guess my body will just have to understand that I will not stop eating whatever I’m allergic to (which is everything good, like chocolate, chocolate, and chocolate). Love it, I do! O.K., Maggie, that’s enough. PATIENT HOSPITALIZED: Louise Childers of DeWitt, was rushed to St. Vincent’s Hospital in Little Rock, last week. I understood that she suffered a brain aneurism and was in critical condition for several days on a ventilator. Her son related to me Friday (3rd) evening that she is now breathing on her own and was able to get off the ventilator at this time. Please everyone, lets all pray for Louise. Come on home Lou, we have things to do. Love Ya! I will try to keep everyone updated on her progress. GRANDPARENTS DAY: Peggy Dean of St. Charles, traveled to Cabot Friday, (3rd), to visit and eat lunch with her grandson, Jagger Lee O’Dell on Grandparent’s Day at Jagger’s
school. Isn’t that sweet? Sometimes I wish that I could turn back the hands of time and be there for my sons, but, old man time went by so fast that I can’t begin to keep up. Peggy, I know you enjoyed the day. And, Jagger, “Memaw Margaret’s” heart was there for you. We love you, Hon!!! WEEKEND VISITOR: Emily Grace Jackson of DeWitt, came out and spent two nights with Jay and I this past weekend. Oh, how excited I was! School and extracurricular activities in school and summers also just keep children so busy, which I think is very good nowadays. Emily has grown up somewhat, into a beautiful young lady! Of course, we think! I’m not proud, am I??? We love Hallie, Sarah , and Drew, too. Don’t we, Kiddos? RECIPE: LIVE HAPPY EVER AFTER 1 pint loyalty 1 quart love 3 cups forgiveness 1 /2 cup friendship 5 tablespoons of hope 2 tablespoons of tenderness 1 gallon of faith 1 cracker barrel of laughter (I found this old recipe in a box of my Mother’s ( Olite Lee) recipes. It was so old that the paper it was printed on was old looking and crumbly. I thought that you folks
might like this, especially everyone that knew my a Mother). ONE GREAT LADY WHO WAS ALSO A GREAT COOK! Huh, Ricky?

FAITH & RELIGION Be Not Afraid Pastor Steve Ellison
Hebrews 10:31 states a sobering truth, “It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” However, one of the dominant themes of both the Old and New Testaments is a recurring promise that God gives regarding His faithfulness. He repeatedly declares that we have no reason to be afraid because He will never leave us and never forsake us. If we have placed our faith in God, trusting Him for our eternity based on the finished work of Christ on the cross, it will be an awe-inspiring thing to stand before the Supreme Judge, but we will have no reason to be afraid. It will be a beautiful and wonderful thing as God burns away our chaff, leaving behind only that which is precious in His sight. Over and over in the Old Testament, God said to various individuals and groups, “Fear not, I am with you.” I will mention only a few instances, but there are many more. God made such promises to Isaac, Jacob, Jeremiah, and the nation of Israel. In Isaiah 46 God said He would be with us even to our old age. In Isaiah 51, God said that because He is with us, we ought not to be afraid of any human. In Isaiah 43, God said that we should not be afraid because He is with us, He has redeemed us, He loves us, and He has wiped out our transgressions. In Isaiah 41 God said we should not be afraid because He is with us, He upholds our right hand, and He promises to help us. The use of very similar language in the Isaiah passages and John 6 is very striking. It is clear that Jesus is connecting Himself to the Isaiah passages when He
speaks to his disciples. Jesus approaches the disciples’ boat by walking on the Sea of Galilee during a terrifying storm. John 6:20 states, “But He said to them, ‘It is I; do not be afraid.’” “It is I” translated literally is “I am”. Jesus is equating Himself with the One speaking in the aforementioned Isaiah passages. Because Jesus is the Self-Existent, Eternal Son of God, the God of the Burning Bush (Exodus 3) the disciples had no reason to fear and neither do current disciples. Jesus similarly connects Himself to the “Fear not, I am with you” passages in Revelation 1:1718, “When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. And He placed His right hand on me, saying, “Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.” We have no reason to be afraid because Jesus has conquered our greatest enemy. Because Jesus has conquered death, He has the power and authority to make the promise, “Fear not, I am with you.” If you have placed your faith and trust in Jesus, then you have nothing to fear. Humans may persecute you, mistreat you, betray you, take your job, or even kill you. While those things are terrible, even tragic, they are insignificant in light of eternity. It is certain that you will wind up in the hands of the living God. Sooner or later you will stand in front of the Supreme Judge. You will nothing to fear if you have a relationship with Christ. You will have plenty to fear if you do not. . ..……..….. pastorsteve8800@gmail. com
A Thought By Michael P. Daniel “The Lord said to Abram, ‘Get out of your country, from your family, and from your father’s house, to a land I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great, and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed’.” Genesis 12:13 NKJV Of course we know what happened next. Seemingly without question and without hesitation, “Abram departed as the Lord had spoken to him” (vs 4). Abram had no insight or foreknowledge of what would come of this journey. He functioned strictly under the assurance given that he would be “shown” a land (unknown), that he would become a “great nation” (whatever that might come to mean), that he would be completely under Divine Protection,
and that those he would surely come into contact with in the course of this journey would be “blessed” or “cursed”. Everything would depend on The Lord. Walking by faith rather than by sight is the single, most challenging effort we can undertake. There is not likely a day that goes by in which we are not equally challenged to trust in The Lord’s providence to some degree, but it is also likely that we miss out on those opportunities because we are too caught up in our own individual agendas. We are overwhelmed by the challenges of daily life, we are confronted with those who seem determined to do us harm, and we now are faced with the possibility of Ebola getting out of hand in the United States. And still the Church continues to dwindle. At a time when the people should be running to The Lord, it seems rather they are determined to find for themselves
“Fear Not” By Tom Smith
The Antidote is Faith and fellowship. Fear. It comes in all shapes and sizes. And, it’s called by many names: anxiety, paranoia, panic, trepidation, etc. But, like the proverbial rose which is the same by any other name, so it is with fear. And, nowadays it seems we have an increasing number of things that elicit that response in us: The Ebola virus. Terrorism. Financial instability. Strained relationships. The unknown. The “known.” That’s why God’s words of “Fear not” are so precious to me and so needed in this “Age of Anxiety.” When God called Abraham to “go without knowing where he was going,” He said “Fear not” (Genesis 15:1; Hebrews 11:8). When God led Israel into the wilderness, He told Moses to tell the people to “Fear not” (Deuteronomy 1:21). When Joshua led the Israelites to capture the Promised Land, he said “Fear not” (Josh. 8:1). When Gabriel told Mary she was going to become pregnant with Jesus, he said “Fear not” (Luke 1:30). And, the list goes on and on and on. But, none of those admonitions can compare to the ones Jesus gave during His days here on earth. Repeatedly in His interactions with the disciples and others He said “Fear not” or “Peace, be still” (Luke 8:50; 12:32; Revelation 1:17; Mark 4:39). PAGE TWO His were not Pollyanna promises rooted in shallow optimism; instead, they were invitations to “cast all their cares upon Him” (I Peter 5:7). He was not some guru of positive thinking, throwing out clever clichés as some type of mental mantras. No, He was a realist Who said “In this world you will have tribulation” (John 16:33a). He was/is an omniscient Savior Who knew/knows all that would happen to Him and His disciples; yet, He said “But, be of good cheer—for I have overcome the world” (Jn. 16:33b). Thus, He was telling them the “Prescription for Peace” was/is His Presence. Who He is and what He can do. No wonder the anonymous author of Hebrews in the New Testament described Him as the answers they seek … and they always come up short – as do we when we depend on our own cunning, our own ideas, and our own opinions about what is needed. I find it hard to believe Abram is the only one who is ever called away from his safety and security and familiar surroundings. Given the “Great Commission” issued by the Lord Jesus before His Ascension, it seems likely the Church is being called away from its comfort, away from its security, away from its familiarity, and into a Journey from which we will find real identity; but it takes
the whole Church, not pieces. And while we will not know beforehand how the Journey will unfold, we can embrace the same assurance that we will be “shown” what we need to see and that we will be protected along the way. It will not be easy and it will likely not be personally rewarding for a few individuals, but it will be exactly what The Lord has in mind for those who do not yet know His Name or His Word. It will be what The Lord desires it to be, and that will be good enough. Blessings, Michael

Where Jesus Christ Is Always Present In Word and Sacrament Pastor Chad Philipp
“the sure-and-steadfast Anchor of the soul” that has two unbreakable chains and three grappling hooks of Grace (Heb. 6:17-20; 11:6). And, dear Reader, it’s knowing you’re safe-andsecure in His nail-scarred Hands that will help you keep your sanity and serenity when the rest of the world is losing theirs. Glory!! I still remember as a young boy growing up next to a major highway in central Arkansas how scared I would get at night. When I’d crawl into bed I’d tuck my magical covers all around me before the lights went out because I knew the monsters were coming. And, come they would. For a while they’d lie in wait in the darkness; but, soon one of them would appear and seemingly get closer before running away. Sometimes there’d be two, three or four of them in succession and I’d lie there trembling underneath the covers. But, one night I decided to do something about it. PAGE THREE As one of them appeared, I jumped out of bed, ran over to the light switch and turned it on—and they disappeared just as a car went by. And, it dawned on me that those monsters were nothing more than shadows caused by the headlights of the bypassing car! Talking about an epiphany or revelation! Through that the Lord showed me that so often our fears are nothing more than shadows, i.e., having form but no substance. That’s why we should immediately turn them over to Jesus, Who is “the Light of the world, in Whom there is no darkness at all” (Jn. 8:12; I Jn. 1:5). How wonderful the Peace of His Presence! Here’s hoping you, too, will trust Him and will entrust everyone and everything you hold dear into His loving arms—for life’s too short to live it in constant fear. God bless you.

“What Happened In The Garden of Eden” By C.W. Wood
Something terrible beyond description happened to God’s lovely couple in the Garden of Eden. God had created Adam a perfect being, he had no sin, and therefore he could Fellowship with his Creator in the cool of the day. Adam was not God, and he knew it, and he desired to have a helpmate so they could worship their Creator together. God, having forseen that this desire would be in Adam, had therefore placed this helpmate in Adam at the time of His Creation. Adam was created at first as a being that was both male and female. In other words Eve was in Adam, but Adam knew her not. And so as Adam’s desire to fellowship with another being, like himself, increased, God saw it and declared, “It is no good that the man should be alone, I will make him a helpmate for him.” Gen. 2:18)God had already created every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air, (Gen. 2:19) but for Adam there was not found a helpmate. (Gen. 2:20) It was then that God caused a “deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and He (God) took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh instead thereof.” “And the rib which God had taken from man made He a woman, and brought her unto the man.” And now life in the Garden of Eden became even more Perfect, as Adam received his helpmate as his constant companion. Adam and Eve, and their Creator, God, were in Perfect Fellowship. But now comes a part of the Bible that some do not seem to understand. God now had a Perfect Pair, in a Perfect Place, who had been placed there by a Perfect God. All of this had been done by God Himself, and it was glorious and wonderful beyond description. But there was something in God’s heart that was not yet satisfied! He had made His two People without a will of their own. He had so far not required anything of them, He had Himself made everying Perfect, including His two Human Beings. But He did not want them to be robots, or puppets on a string, having no say about their life and how they would live it. So He gave them a will of their own, to see if they would, by their own choice, decide to love Him and obey Him. If He had used His Great Power and Might to force their obedience, there would have been no joy, no Glory for Himself, but if He gave them a choice and then they decided to obey Him and follow His rules, He would have that satisfaction of Heart that all men are free moral agents. We must choose to follow our Creator and in this way bring Him Glory and satisfaction of Heart for Himself. God must place before His couple a chance to choose whether or not to obey Him. There was a Tree in the Garden that God had placed there, and gave orders that it was not to be partaken of, nor even touched! (Gen. 3:3) This was the trial of their faith, and both Adam and Eve failed the test. Now we are down to the terrible tragedy in Eden. When Adam purposely disobeyed God something terrible happened to his mind. Where he had once Fellowshipped with God, he now had so lost his spiritual experience that he supposed he could hide from God. (Gen. 3:10) That mindset is still on some people today. They suppose they can continue in their sin, and then hide from God! Or at least they seem to think He will ignore their sin. Either way, dear lost Friend, you are wrong as wrong can be. But it is your choice, God has “Set before Lifes death, Good and Evil, choose ye.” (Deut. 30.19) Choosing time is drawing to a close, have you decided? Amen

Medicare’s website – www.medicare.gov – has the best tool for helping you narrow your search for a new health or drug plan. Just click on “Find Health and Drug Plans.” After entering your ZIP code and the list of your prescriptions, you can use the “Medicare Plan Finder” tool to compare your coverage and out-of-pocket costs under different plans. The quality of a health or drug plan’s customer service should be con-
sidered, too. To help you identify the best and worst, the Plan Finder provides star ratings for each plan. A gold star will show plans with the highest, five-star rating, while a warning icon will alert you to plans that have performed poorly for at least the past three years. Besides using Medicare.gov, you can call Medicare’s toll-free help line at 1-800-633-4227 or consult your “Medicare & You 2015 Handbook,” which you have just received in the mail. One-on-one benefits counseling is also available through your State Health Insurance Assistance Program. In Arkansas, you should call 1-800-224-6330. Thanks to the health care law, you’ll enjoy more savings on your prescriptions in 2015 once you land in the coverage gap, known as the “doughnut hole.” You’ll receive a 55 percent discount on your brand-name drugs and a 35 percent discount on your generic drugs while in the gap. The doughnut hole begins once you and your drug plan have spent $2,960 for your drugs. If you’re having difficulty affording your medications, you may qualify for extra help with your drug coverage premiums, deductibles and co-payments. The amount of help depends on your income and resources. But, generally, you’ll pay no more than $2.65 for generic drugs and $6.60 for brand-name drugs. Thirty-nine percent of Arkansans with Medicare’s drug coverage now get such a break. To learn more about whether you qualify for extra help, visit www. socialsecurity.gov/prescriptionhelp or call Social Security at 1-800772-1213. Again this fall and winter, many Americans younger than 65 will shop for health care policies for themselves and their families on the recently launched Health Insurance Marketplace. But the marketplace doesn’t affect you, since you have your health insurance through Medicare. Just as you’ve always done each fall, your attention should be focused on whether you’d like to make any changes in your Medicare health and drug plans. There’s no better time to check that coverage. Any changes you make will take effect on Jan. 1
I, Ora London, mother, and Family of Courtney London, would like to thank each and everyone for the love, prayers, visits, phone calls, gifts and many acts of kindness. A special thanks to Urohonda Whaley for her all-around help for our family, as well as others. We continue in prayer for the Jeannie Harris Families.

LEGAL NOTICES Jammy Turner Donates to Caring & Sharing Food Pantry Monsanto Chemical Account Manager, Jammy Turner of DeWitt , was presented with an unusual opportunity from his employer, Monsanto. The America’s Farmers Campaign, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund selected Turner to direct $2,500 to a nonprofit organization of his choosing. Turner says he really struggled with the decision on which nonprofit organization to select. He did some research on food insecurity and was struck by how severe the problem is here in Arkansas. Turner found Arkansas was ranked worst or second worst in three categories. According to a recent USDA study, 8.1 percent of Arkansas residents have very low food security, meaning they experience severe hunger, and skip meals to make ends meet. Arkansas leads the nation in food insecurity with nearly a quarter of those over 60 years old dealing with hunger. 20 percent of Arkansans do not know where their next meal is coming from. Turner was affected by the results of his research and after much thought said, ”I always come back to the Caring & Sharing Food Pantry because of their commitment to provide one of the most basic necessities, food.” The Caring & Sharing Food Pantry’s mission is to fund and manage an accessible pantry operation involving the community as volunteers, donors and recipients, thereby working together to provide hunger relief in our community. The pantry is funded by donations, grants and local food drives. Thayne Morton and a group of local farmers organized Acres of Help, a nonprofit organization, which also provides assistance to the pantry. Betty Cotner, the pantry’s treasurer said, “The money received from Turner will be used to purchase food to serve our growing clientele. As food prices continue to increase, we are always in need of added support to continue relieving food insecurity in our area.” We are blessed to be able to see the smile on a child’s face after receiving a kiddy bag and the thank you given by an elderly client on a fixed income. This is worth all the work that goes into the operation of the pantry.” The Caring & Sharing Food Pantry serves 40 to 60 households each week they are open. This year, the pantry has served 322 individual households and 1,668 clients residing in South Arkansas County.

Offsetting penalties brought a replay of first down. The Dragon defense held fast and the Cardinals had to punt. Dragons offense took over. The Dragon offense seem to be renewed in this game. They kept their focus and seemed to be working as a team in a new way. They kept running the ball and the Cardinals couldn’t seem to stop this offense. The first quarter ended with a 0-0 score. As the team changed ends they kept moving the ball down the field. They kept driving making first down after first down. Jacob Boyd seemed to be the favored rusher and kept doing just that all the way down the field. The offensive line played so well making it possible for Boyd to keep making progress. At 3rd and goal Boyd again carried for a touchdown. The crowd erupted in the stands. Boyd carried again for a 2 point conversion. Dragons 8, Cardinals 0. The Dragons kicked off to the Cardinals. A facemask penalty allowed the Cardinals to take over at the Dragon 47.

Final score: Dragons 24, Cardinals 8 The Jr. Dragons seemed to have come together as a team, working together. While there were multiple false start penalties, one could see this as a not completely bad thing
because they seemed to be because the boys were ready and anxious to play. This game was played like this reporter felt the team always could. They played with more focus and cohesion than has been seen so far this season. Keep up the good work. While the 7th grade Dragons were unable to win this week, Coach Lewis had this to say about the game, “7th grade played well for their first home game.” Josh Dabner scored on a 30 yard touchdown run. Johnta Wright scored the 2 pt conversion. The 7th grade and Jr. High Dragons host Crossett this Thursday at Dragon Stadium. Games begin at 5:30 pm.
Senior High Dragons Football By Dawn Teer Dollarway is always a tough place to play. The stands are near the sidelines and the fans are rowdy. Dragons still gave their best effort of the season. Dollarway, ranked #3 in the state at that time, just had more athletes. Dragons stepped up their play on defense. Great effort from linebackers Drew Boyd and Shane Bitner. Taveous Fowler also had a good night at cornerback. Offensively, QB Jake Rieves had his best
DRAGON SPIRIT Dragon Pride Offensive Player of the Week
game of the year. He provided great leadership even when the team was down by several scores. He led the team in rushing (65 yds) and passing (96 yds). This is the potential that has been talked about before and it was good to see him leading this team. Soph. D.D. Bradford had 43 yards rushing and most of those came in the 2nd half. Charles Dabner had 30 yards rushing. Even though Soph. Jamari Gamble is nursing a strained hamstring, he also
had a very productive night on both sides of the ball. He led all receivers with 4 catches for 45 yards. Think about what he will do when he is well. The Dragons had the ball in the red zone 5 different times, but only managed 1 score. They really need to figure out a way to finish drives in the end zone. If they can keep their focus and continue to improve as they have this week, they will start seeing some wins. Offensive Player of Game- Jake Rieves Defensive Player of Game- Shane Bitner
