CHARLES GOODIN Editor TUNICA, MS - A Nashville fitness athlete making his competitive debut ranked well Saturday at the 14th annual Battle on the Bluff bodybuilding contest. Weighing in at 157 pounds, Curtis Schade took second place in the ‘true novice’ division of the con- test - a category reserved for those competing for the first time - and fourth in the open men’s division. Schade said he faced about nine total competitors dur- ing the meet, and wasn’t particularly surprised by the outcome reached by a panel of seven judges. “It was about what I ex- pected for both of them. I really didn’t have much expectation because high expectations lead to big letdowns,” he said Sunday during a brief telephone interview. “One judge told me I looked good, my shape was good, my posing was good - the only thing I need is more muscle.” Schade has little time to follow up on that advice as he prepares for yet another competition in Little Rock, this one scheduled for Au- gust. He said he plans to use the intermission to gain as much muscle as possible while maintaining his single- digit body fat percentage. “My plan between now and then is, I’ll change my diet and my workout rou- tine a little bit to build more muscle, but I do plan on doing at least one more dry run,” he said. Although he is already looking forward to his next turn on stage, Schade said Saturday’s inaugural per- formance wasn’t without its share of nervous anxiety, something he expressed concerns about in an inter- view prior to the competi- tion. “The serious nervousness didn’t really set in until we were waking out the door Friday morning, but it re- ally, really kicked in when we were already backstage and they called our names to line us up - not really staged to go out, but pre-staged I guess,” he explained. “I could see some of the other guys out there doing their poses and I could see some of the audience, and that’s when I started getting nervous. But as soon as I stepped out in front of the lights, it was like, ‘Oh, this isn’t too bad.’” Further easing Schade’s concerns was the backstage fraternity among the com- petitors, something the US Army veteran said he didn’t necessarily expect to find in that environment. “I was backstage doing some pumping up and some posing in front of the mirrors and I even had one of the guys I was competing with who says, ‘Hey, spread your lats out a little bit more,’” he recalled. “It’s a blast. Even though you’re in there competing with these other guys, there’s a strange sense of camaraderie that I never knew existed.” Until he can return to the company of his flexing breth- ren, Schade will be quietly preparing to defeat them at Nashville’s Flex Gym.

The Fault In Our Stars by John Green is a tragic tale of young love and loss. Hazel, the protagonist in the story, is only 16 and has not only been diagnosed with cancer, but is living with the knowledge it isn’t going away. She has come to terms with it. During one of the many support group meetings her mother has been making her attend, she meets Augus-tus, the other main character. He can’t seem to stop staring at her. Turns out, he’s utterly fascinated with her.
Hazel, who had been reluctant to let people into her life because she was in fact dying, and not wanting to cause people pain when she’s not there any-more, finds herself at the very least intrigued by Augustus. So much so, she agrees to his invitation to go watch a movie with him. Predictably so, the two become friends and soon start to fall in love.
There’s a twist to this story though, that completely catches one by surprise. Augustus has cancer. He gives up his treatment to accompany Hazel to Amsterdam to meet her favorite author, only to end up losing all control over the cancer. As if that was not bad enough to completely re-duce one to tears, the rest of the story is where she spends his last days with him, while he gets sicker and sicker, and finally passes away. Without completely ruining the ending, Augustus’s final act in the story is completely touching, heart wrenching, and absolutely bittersweet.
The Fault In Our Stars is an absolute breath of fresh air when considering the landscape of young adult romance type novels available today. The reviewer had heard many times how wonderful this story was and how it would abso-lutely make one cry. Those descriptions were accurate, in fact, so much so, that they bear repeating here. Have some
Kleenex handy if one decides to read this novel, it will be needed.
Characters are the make or break point in a novel, and au-thor Green manages to deliver the story of one of most touchingly tragic couples the reviewer has ever had the pleasure to read. Hazel and Augustus are not quite Romeo and Juliet, but are as equally likely to be able to have a long and happy life together, yet, as the reader, one can not help but hope for a miracle and that it will work out for them.
Given the basic storyline, you know things are going to go bad somewhere in the book, but one be-comes attached to the story and the characters, that when the bad does happen, in this case, when it is discovered that Augustus is dying, not Hazel, one really follows Hazel on her emotional trek throughout the rest of the novel. Her growth as a character really shines in the last few chapters of the story.
The book, while written as a young adult novel, is one that honestly transcends the genre. If one is a fan of the Nicho-las Sparks type novels, this one can not be recommended enough. Just make sure to have some Kleenex handy if one decides to read this story, it will be needed.
The Fault In Our Stars is available at the Howard County Public Library. Copies are limited, so if it is unavailable, ask at the front desk to be placed on the waiting list for it.

I really hope readers have enjoyed exploring the relation-ship between our temporary home and its closest celestial neighbor that seems to have such a significant impact on our lives in the ‘here and now’. It really is something to ap-preciate. Not just the physical bodies themselves and their interactions with each other but also the laws that govern their behavior. The laws that tran-scend our tiny corner of the incomprehensibly enormous ‘everything’. For this last article in our lunar exploration I would like discuss mod-ern theories and ideas concerning the origins of our Moon. Natural satellites are formed in many various ways. Mars for example has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. Both of these we once asteroids that were captured by Mars’ gravity. This very well could be a common method of natural satellite formation. When we consider other satellites however, such as the gorgeous rings of Saturn, we still have a lot to learn to understand their origins.
Let’s get elbow deep in some ideas, I don’t have a lot of words available. The Earths density is 5.52 g/cm^3 which is much greater than the Moons 3.35 g/cm^3. This fact alone eliminates the idea that the Earth and Moon formed around the same time, out of the same material (double planet theory). However, the crust of the Earth has a density similar to that of the Moon.
In 1878 and idea was presented that suggest the mate-rial that forms the Moon had ‘ejected’ from the Earth by Sir George Howard Darwin (the son of Charles Darwin). The idea is that the fast rotation and solar tides forced a piece of the large basin of the Pacific Ocean to break away. This is referred to as the ‘fission hypothesis’.
In the early 20th century, the capture theory was pre-sented, in which just like Mars’ moons, celestial a celestial object was captured by Earth’s gravity. A significant prob-lem with this theory is that the way a celestial object can be completely captured by another, and not just have their orbit redefined, is if they come in contact with each other or if a third object with a relevant gravitation force is present, slowing down one of the objects to orbital speed.
In the 1970s, a new theory was proposed by A.W. Cameron and William Ward of Harvard. To my understanding, this is the most widely accepted theory of Lunar Origins today. But there are some significant problems with it. The Large Impact Theory simply states that the Moon formed as the result of an impact between a large object and the Earth. In the past, I have heard our early planet referred to as ‘Earth Mach One’ and ‘Earth Mach Two’ which refers to our planet prior to this collision and then after it. (Not that this rhetoric has any significance into understanding this). This is also referred to as the collisional ejection theory. Simulations
show many reasons why this theory could be accurate which would result in today’s environment such as rotational speed of the Earth, the ratio of iron in the Moon and Earth, the plane the Moon orbits the Earth around, the rotational rate of the Moon and its orbital period. Just a few years ago,
this would have confirmed the origin of the Moon. But like every human, scientists do not know everything and acknowledge they could be wrong. Disclaimer: I am not a chemist and know very little about it. I only know enough to apply it to astronomy and cosmology to a small degree. What I am about to explain is very recent development in the field.
The oxygen isotope ratio of a celestial body can very well be considered its ‘fingerprint’. This is a thing that can distinguish one object from another with great accu-racy. It should be considered a type of identifying signature. If the large impact theory were accurate, that would mean one body with a specific isotope ratio, collided with the Earth that has our known isotope ratio. The result would be two bodies with different isotope ratios In 2001, an examination of the Lunar samples from the Apollo mission determine the Lunar isotope ratio to be unexpectedly similar to terrestrial isotope ratios, which is completely different from any other objects composition in our solar system. It has been shown that the likelihood of the object that would have collided with the Earth, in this large impact theory, would have had less than one percent chance of having the chemical com-position to create this similarity between the Earth and the Moon. Since this discovery, there have been studies that both strengthen and weaken the large impact theory.
In conclusion, one day after our Sun becomes a red giant and scorches all life on Earth shortly before its own destruc-tion, when we are a space faring species, the knowledge of the origins of our Moon may be irrelevant. We will discuss our home planet in this detail to satisfy the same curiosity that fuels the reason we discuss the origins of our ability for language or the domestication of dogs today. It will not have any practical implication. From our perspective today, this is still a very interesting idea in our quest to simply know all of the unknown. Who would have known that when we look at the Moon, something we are all so used to, that we can explore these great ideas in such detail, and in doing so, gain a greater understanding about our own origins. I wish you all clear skies. All you have to do is look up, I promise, you won’t regret it.

You may have heard about the stink in Newton Coun-ty. It’s just a few hills over from America’s first National River, the Buffalo. Over 6,500 swine are now nestled into a concentrated animal feeding operation - or CAFO - along a tributary to the Buffalo River. Hogs aren’t new to Arkansas, or Newton and Baxter counties, but the scale of this Cargill operation is.
There’s something about storing 280 days worth of hog waste in the same watershed as a na-tional treasure that gets people a little worried. Others get more than a little worried.
The idea of a cata-strophic failure to either of C & H Hog Farms’s two sewage lagoons hasn’t set well with the National Park System or a slate of local conservation groups. Seven million gallons of hog waste filtering into what is argu-ably the state’s most well-known natural feature is plain troubling. But for now, that’s called concern. It doesn’t mean it will happen. It certainly doesn’t mean Arkan-san’s should be banned from raising pigs.
But there is something different about making a river like the Buffalo River a little more at risk just to bring in a little more bacon. The Arkansas Pollution Control and Ecology Commission - one of a myriad of non-elected government bodies that goes almost wholly-veiled in ambiguity to Arkansans and the media if only for its relative obscurity - has been responsive. Its been aided by two governors who at the least don’t want to expand any potential risks to water quality posed by CAFOs in the Buffalo National River Watershed.
Former Democratic Governor Mike Beebe and the commission backed a 180 day moratorium on any new CAFOs near the Buffalo near the end of his term after outcry from some sections of the public that were not pleased to discover C & H Hogs Farms had been granted a permit in the first place.
Republican Governor Asa Hutchinson has twice backed extending the 180 day moratorium. The idea is that the sensitivity surrounding the Buffalo National River warrants an in-depth environmental study of the watershed. Over time, will millions of gallons of waste in sewage lagoons make it through the operation’s precau-tions, to the porous Ozark limestone, and then the river?
If it does, it’ll be hard to make the case that adding new CAFOs in the area is a good idea if you care about water pollution. If it doesn’t, there is a potential for even more to set-up shop. Though it’s unclear if there’s really any pent up demand. Of course bellies still growl for pork.
But the results of this study, underway by the University of Arkansas, won’t be complete for another four years or so. A comprehensive assessment in 180 days won’t be coming from that. Though Governor Hutchinson has said he is interested in a four or five year moratorium, or a more-permanent rule change, to let the science come in.
That decision in itself is a little out of step with the administration’s environmental policy. Generally Hutchinson wants the permit process streamlined and challenges pollution allegations. Get the red tape out of the way and let Arkansas reap an economic reward. But here, even though the permit is already approved, the body politic says Arkansas should take another look and listen to environmental scientists. That’s important to keep in mind when you think about the health of other rivers like the Caddo or Ouachita that might not get the reverence of the Buffalo.

ARKADELPHIA - The Nashville Scrappers had a mixed result on the diamond in their performance so far at their district tournament in Arkadelphia this weekend.
The team entered the tournament in the second round to face the Malvern Leopards fresh off their win against Waldron in the tour-nament’s first round. The Friday afternoon game saw a slow start and went long, but resulted in a single point win for Nashville.
Play began with fielder’s battle that kept the game not only scoreless for most of four innings, but also largely kept runners from even mak-ing base. The Scrappers were able to break that trend in the bottom of the fourth as Nick Myers grounded out to short to allow Trace Beene to come in. Later that inning, Chas Scott ran home on a line drive to left field from Chris Willard to make the score Nashville 2-0.
The fifth inning was large-ly a pitcher’s shootout, with fast strikeouts and batters getting on base by wearing pitches.
In the sixth, the Leopards made their move, with one runner in on a ground ball to left field, and another on a line drive, also to left, to tie the game up. The game stuttered there for a moment as Nashville’s fielders and Malvern’s pitcher stymied batters.
The deciding run came in the bottom of the eighth as the Scrappers stacked the bases with their first three batters, then Willard knocked a fly to left to bring in Myers, concluding the game Nashville 3-2.
Lucas Liggin was credited the win, pitching just under 70 percent strikes in all eight innings, including five strike-outs.
The following afternoon, the Scrappers continued up the bracket to face the Arka-delphia Badgers in a faster paced, higher scoring game.
The game led off with the Nashville team taking an early lead, first with Jackson Beavert being walked home, then with Myers coming
in on a fly to right by Zach Jamison. That lead was ex-tended in the second when Tyler Hanson ran home on a fly ball to left field from Bea-vert to leave it Nashville 3-0.
That lead was not to stand long, as the Badgers clawed their way back in the bottom of the second, achieving a big sacrifice play that brought in two runners, then knocking a third home on a fly to left to tie up the score 3-3. Nashville retali-ated with a flurry of hitting in the top of the third, but it only netted them a single run as Myers came in on a fly to center from Jamison to make it Nashville 4-3.
Nashville managed a lockdown defense in the bottom of the third, but were unable to capitalize on advances when they came back to bat. Arkadelphia was similarly fumbling in their half, but managed to catch some luck on an error and pair of walks to tie up the score again 4-4.
The fifth was the image of a defensive inning, with batters for both teams going back to the dugout almost as soon as they stood up, and the sixth was a little better story offensively - a Nashville player made base on an er-ror, a Badger got walked up, but neither got further. The seventh looked like more of the same, with the promise of extra innings, until the Badgers managed a hard line drive to right that brought in one runner and set another in scoring position. They followed that up with a putt to short that allowed them to get in one more runner to make the final score Arkadel-phia 6-4.
Sophomore Austin Cham-bers pitched the majority of the game against Arkadel-phia, managing four strike-outs and only allowing one earned run despite his youth and inexperience.
The Scrappers are sol-diering on for one more game in the district tourna-ment, the consolation game to be played this afternoon at 4 p.m. on the Henderson State University field in Arka-delphia.
WALDRON - The Nashville Scrapperettes had two dis-parate experiences at their district tournament over the weekend, one exhilarating win and a big loss.
Their first game in the tournament, at noon Satur-day, was against the Ash-down Lady Panthers. The game began somewhat ten-tatively, with neither team making much headway. Mattie Jamison broke that by forcing an error that al-lowed Kendall Kirchhoff to run home in the bottom of the third to make it Nash-ville 1-0.
The following inning, Madi Horton knocked a line drive to right field that brought in KeeKee Rich-ardson to extend the Scrap-perettes’ lead to Nashville 2-0. That lead was almost immediately brought even again as Ashdown knocked one over the left field fence to bring home two.
Jamison again stepped up to bat in Kirchhoff on a grounder to second in the bottom of the fifth, again giving Nashville the lead 3-2. That was extended in the sixth when Richardson was able to again run home on an error forced by Kirchhoff on a hard grounder to short. The Scrapperette defense then hardened for the final inning, and the game ended
with final score Nashville 4-2.The story of the game
was not offensive, though Jamison did manage two RBIs on a single hit, but was pitcher Anna Kesterson, who hurled an astounding 91 percent strikes on 53 pitches in seven innings - striking out six batters in the process.
Later that afternoon, the team took the diamond against the Mena Lady Bearcats in a game that ultimately concluded their district tourney run.
The game was led off with the Scrapperettes getting to scoring position, but unable to capitalize on it in the first - something that Mena took immediate advantage of, posting a series of five runs in the bottom of the first.
The Lady Bearcats ex-tended that massive lead by one in the bottom of the third off a line drive to right field.
It was piled on deeper by the Mena team in the bottom of the fourth with another series of five runs. Though the Scrapperettes scrambled to pull it out of the fire, they were unable to make any gains and the game concluded Mena 11-0.
The Scrapperettes go on to play against Malvern this afternoon at 4 p.m. in Waldron to determine third place for the tournament.

MURFREESBORO - The Dierks Outlaws made their run through the bracket at the district tournament in Murfreesboro during the last half of last week, falling to the eventual tournament champion.
The Outlaws first saw a win in the second round against the Blevins Hornets, who were high off their win over Lafayette County in the first round.
Play began with Blevins being drawn up short as the Outlaw field put out their first three batters in quick order. The Hornets attempted the same as the Dierks team came to bat, but Outlaw runners walked into position took advantage of the opportunities handed them, with Caleb Dunn running home as Jarrett Fox flied out to right field to conclude the inning at Dierks 1-0.
Outlaw pitcher Lane Woodruff then proceeded to earn his pay in the second, striking out three of four Hor-net batters. After that, it fell apart for the Blevins team, with Dierks bring-ing in Derek Hill and Caleb Adams on a fly to left by Blayn Turner, Turner and Dunn each walked in, Brayden Kirby and Trendin McKinney both on a line drive to second base from Hill, Fox in on a line drive to left by Adams, and Hill home off Woodruff’s line drive to short. That set the score Dierks 9-0, and presaged the conclu-sion of the game.
The Hornets were able to put off the end for a while as they came back with a tooth and claw offense and shutdown defense for the next two innings, scrabbling like only underdogs can.
They managed to stretch it out to the bottom of the fifth, when Tyler Kesterson knocked it out of the park over the left field fence, pulling Turner and Dunn home with him and triggering the 10-run rule. Final score Dierks 12-0.
Hill was the definite hot bat for the Outlaws in the game, rating two runs, two hits and two RBIs in three at bats, while Woodruff took credit for the win from the mound, striking out five of 23 batters faced.
The Outlaws’ next challenge was far different from their previous game, a defensive struggle against the eventual tournament champion Murfreesboro Rattlers.
The game began with the image of
defense from both teams: a total of three runners made base amid nine strikeouts in three innings before the first run came in, the Rattler’s Adam Bailey in on an error. That single run to make it Murfreesboro 1-0 was a brief anomaly as the teams went back to hard defense for another full two innings.
In the top of the sixth, the Outlaws managed to tie it up as Kesterson sent the ball over the center field fence. The Rattlers came back with Bailey knocking one hard to right to bring in Chase Dowdle, making it Murfreesboro 2-1.
The Outlaws fought through to stack the bases in the seventh, set-
ting themselves up for a massive win, but were mostly unable to plant wood on leather against the pellets being sent their way by the Rattler pitcher, Tyler Gilbert. Final score Murfreesboro 2-1.
Tyler Kesterson was the definite standout for the Outlaws in the game, not only with one run, two hits and one RBI in four at bats, but also with three strikeouts and a 68 percent strike rate in five innings on the mound.
The Outlaws go on to their re-gional tournament this weekend at Woodlawn High School, with their first game beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Friday.
MURFREESBORO - The Dierks Lady Outlaws took their show to Murfreesboro last week for their district tournament, where they saw a mixed result.
Their opening game for the tour-nament, against the Gurdon Lady GoDevils, saw an immediate big lead for the Lady Outlaws.
The first inning was a study in contrasts as the Gurdon team were mostly up and down at the plate, while the Dierks squad took the bit between their teeth: Madison Bur-gess and Lillie Woodruff both ran in on a line drive to center by Adrianna Walston, Melanie Kesterson came home on Alexis Simmons’s line drive to left field, and Kyla Kompkoff swatted another line drive to center to bring in Walston and Emily Wisen-hunt to make it Dierks 5-0.
The score hung there for a bit as the Lady GoDevils were unable to make headway, but did manage to
tighten their defense for a while. It was the bottom of the third before the Lady Outlaws were able to move the needle again, scoring a single run as Kesterson came in on an error to make it Dierks 6-0.
It was back to defense on both sides for the next bit, with each team making a good combination between their pitchers and fielding. That was finally cracked by the Lady Outlaws in the bottom of the sixth as Stephanie Stuart came in on an error, Kesterson knocked a line drive to left to bring in Burgess and Woodruff, and Kesterson was herself brought home on a grounder to center from Walston. The game concluded there at Dierks 10-0.
Kesterson was outstanding on of-fense for the Lady Outlaws, racking up three runs, three hits, and two RBIs in four at bats, while Simmons took credit for the win with a mas-sive 77 percent strikes on 61 pitches,
including 5 strikeouts.The story was radically different
in their next game, against the Spring Hill Lady Bears Friday.
The Dierks team struggled to gain traction offensively, but gave as good as they got on defense. The score sat flat through the top of the fourth, when the Lady Bears broke through with a line drive to center that brought in a pair of runners. After another inning, they bent the game their way even further with a run on a sacrifice fly and two more on a line drive to left. That left the score Spring Hill 5-0, where it sat through the remaining two innings.
The Lady Outlaws’ only two hits were both courtesy of Khylla Hill, and Simmons looked good at the rubber with 55 strikes on 101 pitches.
The Lady Outlaws will proceed on to the regional tournament at Parkers Chapel, with their first game Friday at 10 a.m.

From The Barnyardby Mike Graves
I was at a Farm Bureau meeting and scheduled to be on their program. I stepped off the elevator and a dark-haired lady greeted me in the corridor. “Does anybody tell you that you look like Sam El-liot?” she said, “My husband just loves your stuff. Your column is what he turns to the first thing. I can’t tell you how many times he read it to me and just laughed and laughed. Now, on RFD TV, he tapes it if he’s not going to be in the house.”
I thanked her and said, I hope he likes my speech tonight, make sure I get to meet him.”
“Uh, he’s not here,” she said.
“Well, I’ve got a new book out, I’ll be sellin’ it after the speech.”
Her face tightened, then wilted, “He died a year ago.”
I felt like someone shot an arrow in my heart. I put an arm around her shoul-der. “It was quick,” she said, then took a deep breath and gathered herself up. “We used one of your poems at his service.”
“How old are you?” I asked.
“42. He and I were the same age.”
I asked if she had children. “Three,” she said.
Sometimes the less said the better. How can you say anything that will make a difference?
I opened my mouth, “My mother was widowed at age forty with four boys.
“How did she make it?” she asked.
My mind slid back to a part of my life I’ve tried to bury. Her unrelenting grief, her sobs through the bed-room door, all the well-mean-ing neighbors and friends bringing food, the pills to stop the headaches, the nightmares and anguish.
Then moving houses to save $15 on the rent, her get-ting a job, doing what it takes to make it through the day. Mother made breakfast for us every morning before she went to work. Four years AD (after Dad) she began night classes. Eventually she got a teaching degree. Our lives went on. The two oldest boys left home, one to college and one to the Army.
Ten years AD she remar-ried and both lived into their 90’s. She lived with us in her last several years.
The dark-haired lady turned to leave, then asked, “Do you think I will? Make it, I mean?”
She was running a ranch with 300 cows, raising 3 kids and going to a Farm Bureau policy meeting where she, no doubt, would put in her two cents worth.
“Yep,” I said, “I know you will.”
A Chance Meeting “I hit bottom before I over-
dosed and/or completely destroyed my liver. Today, I thank God almighty, and give him the credit for 20 years of sobriety.”
Thus spake Joe Walsh, lead guitarist for The Eagles, and founder of the rock band The James Gang, in an interview recently on YouTube. Walsh says he gave up vodka, cocaine and Camel Light cigarettes in one swoop, and says his life is just as fun - only now he can remember it.
Why do I mention this in a “farm column,” in a rural publication, far from the neon lights?
The answer was men-tioned in last week’s column, where we talked about the passing of some of my class-mates who succumbed to drug and/or alcohol abuse. We all suffer the effects of the tragedy. Mentioning the names of any of the victims wouldn’t keep anyone from joining the ranks of the dead, infirmed or imprisoned from drugs and alcohol, and y’all know them anyway: our classmates who didn’t put the stuff away.
I can guarantee y’all their folks know: The families who spent many nights staying up wondering if this would be the night the state troop-ers knocked on the door with the terrifying news; the dads
who sat in church wondering what they did or didn’t do right; the moms who cried when they left their daughter sitting in jail.
They still can’t figure out why their kid - the one who was the teacher’s pet in third grade, the Scrapper hero, the one who set the curve in Mrs. Dildy’s class and could kick the football over the moon - could not stay straight or sober.
I wish I knew what to say to my classmates and the world to keep them from self destructing.
I do know this: a Christian community cannot turn their backs on those struggling with addiction. If we don’t reach out to these victims, if we don’t check on them and assist them when they need help, and hire them when they get out, we’re not Christians. We’re the psuedo-Christians Christ warned us about.

Average retail gasoline prices in Arkansas have ris-en 7.5 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.37/g yesterday, according to Gas-Buddy’s daily survey of 1,826 gas outlets in Arkansas. This compares with the national average that has increased 8.5 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.62/g, accord-ing to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.
Including the change in gas prices in Arkansas dur-ing the past week, prices yes-terday were 105.1 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 19.1 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The na-tional average has increased
22.7 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 105.6 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.
“Gasoline prices continue to be tugged upward by pre-vious increases in crude oil prices,” said Patrick DeHaan, GasBuddy senior petroleum analyst. “The national aver-age stands at its highest in nearly five months and has risen 20 days straight. West Coast refinery issues have continued to weigh on West Coast gasoline prices, which have easily risen the fastest in the nation for a second consecutive week, though the increase in prices will be scaled back considerably this week.”

NASHVILLE - The newest Howard County 4-H Club is having its third meeting scheduled for Mon., May 4 at 4 p.m. at the Howard County Extension Homemakers Edu-cational Center, 425 North Second Street in Nashville (behind the courthouse). The group strongly encour-ages parents or guardians to attend meetings.
4-H has something for everyone. This club is aimed at youth ages 9-12, but all are welcome. The focus will be on many different areas and activities. The purpose of 4-H clubs is to participate in the youth development educational program of the University of Arkansas Co-operative Extension Service.
Youth in 4-H clubs will learn life skills, enhance lead-ership skills, and increase
self esteem and confidence while serving in a number of community service projects and leadership roles. Mem-bers also have an opportu-nity to compete in a number of competitive activities, at-tend camps, and eventually earn scholarships. 4-H is a family oriented organization.
Those interested in join-ing Howard County 4-H are urged to call the Howard County Extension Office at 845-7517 for more informa-tion.
The Arkansas Coopera-tive Extension Service offers its programs to all eligible persons regardless of race, color, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, age, disabil-ity, marital or veteran sta-tus, genetic information, or any other legally protected status, and is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.
