Prisoner of Zenda inspires river trip musings
A reader recalls a fog bound duck boat trip on the Narrows Lake near Newhope ridge where mallard ducks gathered and fled. He notes the film The Prisoner of Zenda, in Technicolor at the Saenger, as a bright centerpiece—romantic cinema from 1894 literature to early 20th century silent era revivals.

Cherry Tax Reform Plan to Go on Arkansas Ballot
Governor Prins said the tax revision proposal should be placed on the next general election ballot by the Legislature. The plan would assess real property at 109 percent of market value and cap millage at 5 mills for serial districts and 12 mills for other districts. Cherry acknowledged opposition from those not paying their share and stressed voters must sign off on the measure. He also noted a highway rights of way bill as a concession, with earlier Senate action challenging the House version.
