Country homes and farm land are currently two of the most highly sought-after properties in Howard and Pike Coun-ties, according to local real estate professionals with decades of experi-ence in the industry.

“Most people like it out in the country,” said Ran-dy Ray, owner of Ray and Associates Real Estate and a 12-year veteran of the local land market. “If they can get a couple acres out in the country where they’re not house-to-house with neighbors stacked on top of each other, that’s what they’re looking for.”

We have made it a priority to increase the number of college de-gree holders in our state. The lottery-funded Arkan-sas Academic Challenge Scholarship could help to make that happen.

The deadline is fast ap-proaching for the scholar-ship. Students graduating from high school this year and current or prospec-tive students who have not applied for the schol-arship before, should fill out the YOUniversal Scholarship Application by June 1 and provide any supporting materials, such as transcripts, ACT score and FAFSA form,

also by June 1. The dead-lines apply to both the fall and spring semesters.

Anyone who received the Academic Challenge Scholarship during the 2011-2012 academic year will not have to reapply.

To fill out the form, you can visit the Arkansas Department of Higher Education (ADHE) web-site, at www.adhe.edu. ADHE also offers a free smart phone application that students can use to apply or to check their award status.

All students who gradu-ate from an Arkansas high school in 2012 and com-plete eligibility require-

ments are guaranteed to receive the Academic Challenge Scholarship under current legislation. The funds available for non-traditional students are budgeted at $12 mil-lion. Those scholarships will be awarded based on those who are nearest to graduation or completion of their degree programs.

T h e s c h o l a r s h i p amounts for both tra-ditional and non-tradi-

tional students is $4,500 for students at four-year colleges, and $2,250 for students at two-year in-stitutions.

So far, over 10,160 scholarships have been awarded to 2012 gradu-ates, and those students must log on to the ADHE website and accept the award to receive the fund-ing. Last year, scholar-ships went out to a total of 33,328 students.

SteelState Rep.

Last week, I traveled to the Cross County community of Birdeye in Northeastern Arkan-sas. While it’s a small point on a state map, Birdeye will have a large role in honoring our men and women in uniform, as it is the home of the new Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery. With the addition of these newly-dedicated burial grounds, Arkansas now has five cemeteries des-ignated for veterans and their families.

For many reasons, Birdeye is an ideal site. Its beauty evokes reflection; its history is tied to patriotism; and its location makes it more accessible to many of our military families. The cemetery

is situated in a peaceful area, where the sunrise quickly dries the dew, and the shade of nearby Crowley’s Ridge helps temper the afternoon heat. Surrounded by tall grass and anchored by a lone majestic oak tree, this pastoral landmark will become the final resting place for 41,000 vet-erans and their families over the next 125 years. It is a magnificent setting that will be fitting for the heroes laid to rest there.

Birdeye is also a place that surviving family members of our veterans will cherish. We must remember that those who visit gravesites at our veterans’ cemeteries also have made sacrifices for the well-being of our country. While their loved ones were away, they remained on the front lines at home, keeping households and families together while often coping with heart-wrenching emotions. We can never replace the time spent apart from their deployed spouses, children, parents, siblings and other relatives. We can, however, honor their sacrifice the best ways we know how.

The cemetery at Birdeye will give families the option of laying their military loved ones to rest in Eastern Arkansas. Until now, the most eastern veterans’ cemetery in our State was in North Little Rock. Veterans’ families who resided in the Delta and wished to bury their loved ones with full military honors had to plan long drives to visit the gravesite. Birdeye’s location on 100 acres near Wynne will significantly reduce the time needed for those families to pay their respects.

Along with its more convenient location, this burial ground has its own lineage of military history. For many years, this land belonged to the Smith Family, who has long-running ties to military service dating back to World War II. Fit-tingly, Colonel Thomas Blake, the first veteran to be buried at Birdeye, led the committee that selected this piece of land for the cemetery.

These special cemeteries do more than provide resting places for our veterans; they remind all of us of the sacrifices made for our country and our way of life. You can stand in any one of these places of serenity and contrast it with the combat and noise that often led to sacrifice that helped establish and preserve our nation’s independence.

Deadline for Ark. Academic Challenge Scholarship nears

Throughout the United States, an average of 2,000 children under the age of 18 are reported missing each day and 800,000 chil-dren are reported missing each year. Likewise, with our nation’s growing el-derly population, and the prevalence of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, the number of our seniors who are reported missing each year continues to rise.

According to health care reports, approxi-mately 6 in 10 demen-tia victims and 3 out 5 people with Alzheimer’s disease will wander from their current location often in an effort to re-turn “home,” which in some cases is no longer their place of residence. The need to locate miss-ing children, seniors, and disabled individuals in the first hours of their disappearance is vital.

According to a study by the Attorney General of Washington State and the U.S. Department of Jus-tice, among cases involv-ing children abducted and murdered, 74 percent were slain in the first 3

hours. Additionally, half of elderly adults who wan-der from their residence suffer serious injury or death if not found within 24 hours.

And unfor tunately, many law enforcement agencies just don’t have the resources and man-power to conduct search-es that can cost as much as $400,000 for a twelve hour search.

That ’s why I have helped introduce H.R. 4305, the Child and Elderly Missing Alert Program Act of 2012 (CEMAP). This leg-islation will assist federal, state, and local law en-forcement agencies in the rapid recovery of missing children, elderly persons, and disabled individuals.

The Child and Elderly Missing Alert Program accomplishes this by al-lowing the United States Attorney General to make a competitive grant/coop-erative agreement with an eligible non-profit organi-zation to assist Federal, State, and local law en-forcement agencies in the rapid recovery of missing individuals through the use of rapid alert tele-

phone and cellular calls. These targeted tele-

phone and cellular alerts to residents and busi-nesses in the area where the person was last seen also provide satellite mapping technology to assist law enforcement. CEMAP will complement and bridge the gaps be-tween other programs that aide in the recovery of missing individuals like the Amber and Silver Alert programs.

The Amber and Silver Alert programs are ben-eficial programs, but they do not address all missing person cases. In some cases, there is a crucial lapse of time between when a child, elderly adult or disabled individual is first reported missing and when an Amber or Silver Alert can be issued.

For instance, in miss-ing children cases, if no abduction is suspected,

the Amber Alert System cannot be activated. In addition to aiding in the recovery of missing children, seniors, and the disabled, CEMAP will also support agencies issuing Blue Alerts which are used to help locate a suspect who has caused serious harm or death to a police officer and is at large as well as assist law enforce-ment agencies in com-bating the growing chal-lenge of human trafficking.

As the Congressman for Arkansas’s Fourth Congressional District, I have always fought for the safety and well-being of our children, seniors, and the disabled.

The Child and Elderly Missing Alert Program Act is commonsense legisla-tion that will allow the law enforcement community to quickly broadcast po-tentially life-saving infor-mation.

The utilization of this technology will give each missing individual a better chance of being recov-ered, and I’m proud to help introduce this legisla-tion in Congress.

Unity Missionary Bap-tist Church, located on 381 Buck Range Road, was organized October, 1891 and called their first pas-tor in 1892.

Due to lost records there is no record of who he was.

Land was given to the church July, 1892 and Sep-tember, 1897 by A.B. and Annie Williams, Boone Clark and William and An-ney Wallace

The first deacons were W.H. Jones and D.A. Jones

Homecoming and Deco-ration Day started on the first Sunday in May, 1923

Three have been li-censed and ordained to the ministry by Unity since 1923

They are Chester Lee Young, John D. Jones and Dwayne Parish.

In December 1925, the congregation voted to re-build the church building. The size of the building was cut down size to 32 feet.

A building committee was elected in March 1939 and repairs were made on the building in February 1948.

July 16, 1950, the church voted to put butane stoves in church.

On May 24, 1953, new benches were made by members at a cost of $285.95.

In May 1956 a new floor was installed in the church and a new piano was pur-

chased Jan. 13, 1957 at a cost of $75.

The church voted to renovate the church in May, 1997. Repairs in-cluded the inside of the church, new wiring, panel-ing on walls, central heat and air and new carpet.

February, 1998, a new Baldwin Piano was do-nated to the church in memory of Chloe (Jones) Cassady by Gene Cassady, Helen Rodgers and David Cassady

Dirt for the foundation of a new building was in place March, 2010 and construction on the new building began May, 2010.

The first service was held in the current build-ing August 8, 2010.

The history of Unity

Missionary Baptist Church

PASTOR STEVE ELLISON

Horatio First Baptist Church

In Hebrews 9:28 we read that Christ will appear a second time “to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.”

What can that mean? I am not quite sure what is correct but with the light I currently have, it seems to me that the phrase “bring salva-tion” (NIV) is speaking of the final consummation of our glorious three-part salvation.

Christ has already justified us with His sacrificial death on earth; Christ is sanctifying us by living in us; Christ will glorify us when He returns for us.

All three parts are “done deals”, “completed projects” because they are already done in the mind of God. The final redemption, Christ claim-ing that which He paid for on the cross, and our receiving new glori-fied bodies will take place at this final appearance of Christ.

We can be sure that God will com-plete the good work He has begun in us. The Holy Spirit has been given to us as a pledge, as security, that all will be completed in the appointed time. May we be found waiting for Him.

Salvation is a mystery in many ways.

Who can explain why God would want to “save” us? Who can explain the various roles that each member of the Trinity plays in this salvation?

Who can explain how our “belief/faith” moves God to save our sinful souls? Who can explain why God the Father and God the Son would choose such great suffering on our behalf? Who can explain how salva-tion is fully accomplished but not fully completed at the moment of “saving faith”?

I cannot answer any of those questions and this great salvation remains a wondrous and beautiful mystery. Ephesians 1:3-14 sheds much light on the subject as it de-scribes the work of God the Father in choosing us, God the Son dying in our place, and God the Spirit sealing us until the final consummation.

It has been rightly said that Christ was born to die.

It is every bit as correct to say that Christ was born to live. He died the perfect death so that I would not have to.

He lived the perfect life because I cannot or at least I will not. 1 Corin-thians 15:45 reads, “The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL.

The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.” NASU Adam in the Garden of Eden is the first Adam, Christ is the last Adam, we are the Adams in between.

Christ lived the perfect and righ-teous life in our place. Galatians 1:3-4 reads, “Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father.”

NASU God the Father planned it all. God the Son is accomplishing this present work of sanctifying us, rescuing us from this present evil age.

Paul sums it up nicely in Romans 8:29-30, “For those whom He fore-knew, He also predestined to be-come conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the first-born among many brethren; and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.” NASU The final glorification will occur at the Second Coming of Christ. 1 John 3:2 reads, “Beloved, now we are chil-dren of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be.

We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.” NASU

We will be like Him when He comes for us. May it be so. Come quickly Lord Jesus. …[email protected]

LAKE HAMILTON – Kassidy Snowden walked away from her first Meet of Champs with a win Saturday as Monisa Poole wrapped up her high school career with a new school record.

Snowden competed in the long jump and the triple jump, finishing sec-ond and first respectively.

She held the lead in the long jump through most of the event, but finished second with a jump of 17 feet 4.75 inches.

Snowden would not be denied in the triple jump, leaping 36 feet 10 inches for the win.

Poole, a senior compet-

ing in her fourth Meet of Champions, competed in the 100M hurdles, the 300M hurdles and the 200M dash.

Poole started with a sixth place finish in the 100M hurdles with a time of 15.96 seconds.

She then set a new school record in the 300M hurdles with a time of 44.82 seconds, which was good enough for third place.

Poole finished her night with a second place finish in the 200M dash with a time of 25.2 seconds.

The seniors are count-ing the days now, and the teachers are too.

Don’t blame ‘em. I couldn’t wait to get out of school either, back in ‘76.

But I do remember the feeling of no direction, and downright depression that came along with not know-ing what I wanted to be or where I wanted go.

So, in retrospect, get-ting out of dear old Nash-ville High wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, or at least not what rock singer Alice Cooper cracked it up to be.

I’d like to say this to our grads: when you feel like an outsider because your classmates have it all figured out and secretly you lose sleep ‘cause you don’t know who you, are- take comfort in know-

ing that many times we “adults” don’t know who we are, either.

Many of us, yours truly included, experience what the great philosophers call “the restlessness of a seeker,” wondering why we can’t be content and accept things without asking, “Why?” and, “Are there others like me?”

And, let’s not forget, “Is it blasphemous to ask why?”

The answer is many times there is no answer, and, for reasons unknown to most humans, we won’t

understand until we enter the next phase.

Please, don’t get too uptight about going into the great unknown.

(“Easy for you to say, know it all, you’re 54, and jobs were aplenty in ‘76.”)

Know this: You will make mistakes. Accept that, learn from your mis-takes and MOVE ON.

I’ve made some doozies in my day, and learned to forgive myself for being human. Ignore the nega-tive voice that calls you worthless. You need to re-

alize that you were worth dying for.

It is my selfish desire that you grads at least consider coming back to your hometown and con-tributing your new ideas and energy.

E a r t h n e e d s y o u , America needs you. And Nashville, Dierks, Mineral Springs and Murfreesboro desperately need you.

So, go. Follow your star. And don’t forget who made ye.

“And don’t forget, son, there is someone up above.”

THE MAGIC TRIANGLE

Triangles have a unique place in our world. Engineers use them to build bridges, romance writers use them to manufacture chaos, Py-thagoras used it to create his theorem, and the shortstop uses it to make a double play! Tri-angles strengthen structures. They take three straight lines going nowhere and form a bond that can withstand great pressure.

I see this cohesive combination in another triangle: women-horse-child. It is particularly evident when the child has Down’s syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis or any other disability which restricts their possibilities.

In many equine therapeutic riding programs that I’ve visited, women are the predominant hands-on helpers in the arena. To be success-ful, a mutual trust must be established. It is no secret that most young kids are more at ease with a mother figure. Children innately sense the mother’s compassion from her voice, her touch and her protective stance.

A woman introduces the child to the horse. This allows the child to give the horse the ben-efit of the doubt, because the woman trusts the horse and the child trusts the woman. When the child is set up on the horse’s back, it is still in the mother’s arms, ready to be rescued if need be. Through a long progression of walks around the arena the child’s faith increases in the horse. The physical mother-child contact begins to loosen. It proceeds from holding one hand, to a hand on the back, to a hand on the saddle, to walking beside leading, and then one day, cheering from the sidelines.

The child’s trust eventually expands to in-clude the horse. The triangle is complete. We have connected woman-to-child-to-horse and back to-woman. This third leg was there be-fore the child was born or was even a thought. Woman-to-horse was always there. Not in all women, in all horses, or in all kids, I admit, but in many. I have given up trying to understand the relationship. I have seen it so often I no lon-ger think it is haphazard or coincidental. I have concluded it involves some primitive instinc-tual behavior.

It is especially obvious at any equine thera-peutic riding center. Check it out for yourself. You will see small islands of woman-horse-child. Concentrate on one of those triangles. Try and drown out the chatter, the buckets, and the racket going on around you. Then imagine the child on the horse is yours. You become hypersensitive to the slightest movement; be it protective, encouraging, or loving.

Even the smallest step in this magic triangle performance going on in the arena becomes magnified. Successes are marked in the tiniest gesture, the slightest touch, the tentative smile and the skip of a heartbeat. And through the cloud that puts you in the triangle, you hear the softest of voices saying, “It’s all right, he won’t hurt you.”

coach heart.”Moreno signed the

letter of intent as his father, Tomas, looked on. The Scrapper standout will be one of 13 athletes who have already been selected for the team.

Haynes stated that the Eagles will open their program in September in Memphis.

“Whoever the first Ea-gle is to cross the finish line will be a collegiate

record holder,” Haynes stated before going on to say that he has marked that spot for Moreno.

Haynes admitted that doing so has sparked a higher level of competi-tion among Moreno’s new teammates, but believes he is up for the challenge.

Haynes joked after-ward that he had pur-chased a shopping cart and planned to fill it with weights so Moreno can continue the unique training regimen that he developed while working as a cart pusher at Wal-Mart.

Avery Kesterson and Sara Renfrow led things off with back to back walks and Kesterson went on to score on a bunt by Kristen Busby.

Renfrow would later score on a sacrifice bunt laid down by Hinds.

Maddie McJunkins led off the second inning with a double and later scored on a passed ball and Kynnedi Gordon scored on a single by Renfrow.

The four runs would be enough for Nashville to advance to the semifinals.

Nashville jumped out front 1-0 in Saturday’s semi-final matchup with Jones-

boro Westside when Avery Kesterson scored thanks to a bunt by Keeley Miller.

Jonesoboro tied things up in the bottom half of the inning, but Hinds put the Scrapperettes back on top in the fourth with a leadoff homerun.

The lead would be short lived, with Jonesboro cross-ing the plate in the bottom half of the inning, but Nash-ville answered in the fifth with what would be the winning run.

Kynnedi Gordon drew a lead off walk and Mattie Jamison entered the game as a pinch runner.

Jamison advanced to second after Kesterson drew a walk and then moved to third on a single by Renfrow.

She would cross the plate with the winning run two batters later, thanks to a single to left field off the bat of Miller.

The Scrapperettes held on for the win and a spot in the finals of the 4A state championship.

real estate has a more practical, economic in-centive as well: livestock and timber prices are driving up the value of unimproved land.

“We can’t meet the de-mand of people looking for pasture land,” he said.

Both realtors said pric-

es have remained mostly stable in southwest Ar-kansas despite a bust in the housing market that occurred nationwide in 2008.

“A lot of places around the country ... were build-ing as fast as they could built , they overbuilt , prices skyrocketted, ev-erything boomed,” Ray said. “We didn’t do that in southwest Arkansas.”

According to Ray, How-ard County was expe-

riencing a five percent per year increase in land values while much of the country was experienc-ing “unsustainable” 20-25 percent annual jumps. At present, he said Ray and Associates sells a healthy mixture of both expensive and inexpen-sive homes, with an aver-age price-tag of roughly $120,000.

Hughes agreed with Ray’s assessment.

“As a general rule, pric-

es are pretty stable,” he said. “And the sales are improving.”

Both Hughes and Ray said historical ly low interest rates make it an ideal time to enter the housing market, but Hughes cautioned that many banks are looking for larger downpayments as a result of the uncer-tainty that came about during the housing crisis.

“I would encourage people to by now,” Ray

said. “And, Nashville be-ing a rural area, we have programs available for new, first-time home buy-ers wehre they can get in with zero down and a cheap interest rate.”

Hughes said his com-pany is open to doing the same, but said strict gov-ernment guidelines of-ten prevent older homes from qualifying for the loans.

“We’d be more than happy to do them but

the opportunity hasn’t presented itself yet,” he said.

Overall, both business-men agree that the local real estate market is gain-ing steam and that home-buyers have every reason to be confident that the value of their properties will hold steady or climb.

“I’m absolutely opti-mistic about the future,” Ray said. “I think we’re on the rebound and it’s only going to get better.”
