Finally, I thought of how I used to enjoy Keep government open. reading old issues of the Nashville News be- cause the stories contained the names of the people who literally formed our community. Some of those families don’t even live around here anymore, but the names of the builders, preachers, doctors, judges, lawyers and lead- ers can still be found on our town’s streets and residential additions. These were people --- long before I came to live here -- who formed this community and who influenced new generations to step up to the challenge of community service. To build a better town. I put Marcus Ray Blakely at the head of those titans. “I didn’t even know Ray was sick,” a lot of people said. Well, that’s exactly what he wanted. He was a quiet guy who did big things. His high school classmates voted him Most Popular. No one else was close. He was a Marine. He graduated from Henderson State University but he wasn’t on the social register because he held fulltime jobs while he was getting that degree. He was simply Ray Blakely until he opened his men’s store on South Transportation Department Main. He gave it his full name -- Marcus Ray’s Country Gent. After that his friends called him Marcus Ray.

With a regional tournament berth already clinched, the girls faced Magnet Cove in the semi-finals of district to start their postseason journey. Jumping out to a quick 6-0 lead by the end of the third inning, Murfreesboro saw Magnet Cove cut the score in half in the top of the fourth. Undaunted, the Lady Rattlers would tack on five more runs in the bottom of the inning and cruise to a 14-4 victory. The Lady Rattlers would collect 19 hits in 32 at bats in the game for a .594 batting average, with every player gaining at least one hit. Murfreesboro would strand eight runners on base. Lainie Baxter (RBI, SB), Emma Corbitt (RBI, 2 R) and Jarah Cox (2 RBI, double) would lead the Lady Rattlers in hits for the game.

Bella Laughlin, the pitcher for Magnet Cove, gave up 19 hits and 14 earned runs along with two walks, and two strikeouts. Laughlin’s defense would make five errors in the game behind her. In the finals the Lady Rattlers were set up to face a 21-4 Poyen team. Dierks hosting baseball, softball regionals this week In a very clean game that found Murfreesboro on the wrong side of a 3-0 score, the Lady Rattler offense was only able to generate two hits against Poyen’s Kindi Puckett. Puckett would allow only the two hits across seven in- nings of work, walking none and striking out eight. Cox, who performed admirably, simply could not match her counterpart’s efficiency on that day. She and her defense would give up eight hits, three runs (two earned), two er- rors, and no walks or strikeouts. The team did find a way to stand seven poyen baserunners in an attempt to keep the game close. Alana Pumphery had the only extra base hit of the game with a two run home run in the fourth inning. Baxter and Cox would collect the two singles for the Lady Rattlers. The girls will next play in the 2A South Regional at Poyen High School on Thursday of this week against the yet to be determined third place team from District 7-2A East. Should they win that game, they would be guaranteed a minimum of fourth place, and a berth in the 2A State Tour- nament at Pangburn High School on May 10-12. Rattlers take 4th in tournament After defeating Cutter Morning Star 12-11 last week in the first round of the 7-2A District Tournament, the Mur- freesboro Rattlers guaranteed themselves a berth in the Regional Tournament. In the second round of district, the boys would fall to Magnet Cove 15-1 to fall into the district consolation game. The boys would take fourth place in the district tourna- ment the next day with a 13-3 loss to Poyen. The Rattlers will next participate in the 2-A South Re- gional Tournament at Poyen High School. The team is scheduled to face the number one seed from the 7-2A East Conference on Thursday at 3 p.m. Should the Rattlers win the game, they would guaran- tee themselves at least fourth place in regional play and would move on to the 2-A State Tournament in Pangburn on March 10-12.

There has been no change in polling locations since the last General Election. Voters will be required to provide a “verification of voter registration”. To verify voter registration, a voter will show a document or photo ID card that is issued by the State of Arkansas, the federal government or an accredited postsecondary educational institution in Arkansas. The ID must show the name and photograph of the person to whom it is issued, and, if it has an expiration date, must not be expired more than 4 years before election day. Some examples of acceptable photo ID include, but are not limited to: An Arkansas driver’s license or photo identification card A concealed carry handgun license A U.S. passport A U.S. military ID document A student or employee ID card issued by a postsecondary educational institution A public assistance ID card with photograph A voter ID card with photo, issued by the county clerk Documentation from the administrator of a long term care or residential care facility will be provided on a form provided by the Arkansas Secretary of State’s office. If you have had a name change or your address has changed since you last updated your information, contact the county clerk’s office to determine your correct polling site. This will save you time and could keep you from having to go to another location. The goal of the Howard County Election Commissioners is : “Have everyone eligible to vote, vote and every vote count.” (HCEC: 44) 8B News Wednesday, May 2, 2018 Nashville News-Leader
