On Monday, May14, the Hot Spring County Sheriffâs Office announced the closure of a three month long investigation into the theft of over $16,000 worth of lottery scratch off tickets from the Wishbone General Store on Highway 84.
In early February of this year, the storeâs owners reported to deputies that an audit of their lottery tickets determined that their lottery account was over $16,000 short of funds. With investigative assistance from Arkansas Scholarship Lottery fraud investigators, it was determined that hundreds of scratch off tickets had been stolen by several employees.
The Bismarck School District was recommended to the State Board of Education for addition to the Stateâs Fiscal Distress list on May 14, 2012. The Districtâs declining balance is correlated with the recent construction of a new, much needed, âgreenâ high school. They are joining 18 other districts either on the list or identified as meeting the requirements for early intervention status.
Two other schools have also been classified as fiscally distressed.
The Arkansas Board of Education has classified the Alpena and Drew Central school districts as fiscally distressed.

Thereâs an old joke that goes âdo you know how to get a sweet little old lady to say a cuss word? Have another sweet little old lady yell Bingo!â
My grandmother was not much on Bingo, but she was a big-time basketball fan.
Or, at least Iâm told she was. I never really got to know her because she died when I was just 3 years old.
But I figured since Motherâs Day has just passed and also because today is also my motherâs birthday, I would honor the woman that brought my mom into the world, so hereâs to you Mrs. Alice Irwin and your strange fascination with the NBA.
