...for better or for worse EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN Creative seniors pick top stories What was the top news story of 1987 in Howard County? According to Mrs. Jan Ponder s creative writing class, it was “Nashville named as the Volunteer Community of the ear for 1987.” The class compiled a list of the stories they thought were most important. Students started out by naming the top 10 news stories nationwide. They compared their list to the list of The Associated Press and only missed one. This led them to naming the top 10 news stories in Howard County. “The project was something new and different from what we’ve been doing,” said Thien Nguyen. The class is made up of 10 seniors. They divided into two groups. Then, they discussed the news stories and which ones affected them. They tried to think of stories that were in the newspaper more than once. The class includes Jeff Butler, Greg Collins, Mike Helton, Carlette Jefferson, Chris Lammons, Thien Nguyen, Kelli Porterfield, Deb Staggs, Shane Taylor and David bung. The list of stories included: 1. Nashville is named Arkansas Volunteer Community of the Year for 1987. (Examples: Cleon Green Day for his trip to New Tfork and operation. Wee Care's Childrens Fair for Arkansas Children’s Hospital, Wrestling Match for Howard County Children’s Center, etc.). 2. Howard Memorial Hospital Expansion. 3. Series of tragic deaths. 4. By-pass of Main Street is completed. 3. New businesses open (Fish Net, McDonald’s, Lewis’s, Best Stop, Santa’s Workshop, Gathright's, Karate Club, etc.). Old businesses close (Joe's Grocery, Robison’s, Hunt’s, The Gift Shop, etc.). 6. Summer drought and resulting problems. 7. Ruling in Fern Scoggins lawsuit against the Nashville Board of Education. 8. Emphasis on drug problems (various drug “busts, as well as education in the schools). 9. Christmas tree returns to Main Street after many years. 10. AIDS in Howard County.
