Jubilation Jazz is  in  it’s tenth  year  of  providing a Christian witness in a non-traditional format. The purpose statement reads: To use the idiom of the big band sound as a means of presenting the gospel message to those who might never hear it otherwise.

Since the bands inception in 1997 they have been privileged to   perform in a wide variety of settings including outdoor festivals, concert halls, and church auditoriums.   Performances include:    Annual Springtime On The Mall, Blytheville; Daze Of Praise, Conway, in conjunction with Toad Suck Days; Sunday Concert, Humboldt, TN; The Southern Baptist Church Music Conference, Nashville, TN; Pink Tomato Festival, Warren; Freedom Celebration, Cabot & White Hall; White Hall Fall Festival; Lakewood Village Christmas Lighting; Arkansas State Capital Christmas Festivities; Two years at Silver Dollar City, Branson, MO; Church Outreach in Benton, NLR, Eureka Springs; Springfest, Heber Springs Arkansas; Church outreach Fort Smith, Arkansas;  Mid-Continent Bi-vocational Ministers Conference, Paducah, KY; Arkansas Bandmasters Convention; River Market Outreach,  Camp Aldersgate Ministries,  LR;  Church Concert and Outreach, Jacksonville, Texas

In June of 2002 & 2004, Jubilation Jazz participated in the Arkansas/Brazil Linkup through the Arkansas Baptist State Convention.  Each time the ten day trip centered around the city of Aracatuba, in the state of Sao Paulo, where the band traveled out each day  presenting concerts in churches, city parks activity centers and public and private schools, passing out hundreds of tracts and bibles.

In June of 2007, in cooperation with Global Missions Projects, the band traveled to Amman, Jordan to do musical outreach to the Muslim community and working with the band program of the Baptist School of Amman. The band presented three public concerts in the city of Amman.

The Blue Rooster poultry deboning operation coming to Warren will serve Ozark Mountain Poultry, a company which specializes in quality, cage free, and all natural chicken products.
According to a press release sent out by the Mayor of Warren, Bryan Martin, a large scale poultry deboning operation called Blue Rooster will be opening soon in the City of Warren Industrial Park, creating an initial 100 jobs in the community.

The following is the official press release from Blue Rooster

WARREN, Ark., August 12, 2014 – Blue Rooster is finalizing plans to open a poultry deboning operation at 110 Industrial Park Drive in Warren, Ark.  Previously that facility had been operated by H&L, but it has been closed for four years.  Initial estimates are that there will be approximately 100 new jobs associated with this opening.  Work is already underway to get the facility ready for production in October of this year.  Mayor Bryan Martin has been instrumental in facilitating this opening.

Starting August 18, persons interested in employment may pick up an application at the Old Warren National Guard Armory located at 101 South Martin St.  The Arkansas Department of Workforce Services will take applications Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from 8am to 4pm starting on August 18.  The company will also be taking applications at the Arkansas Department of Workforce office in Monticello, Arkansas Monday through Friday each week starting on August 18.

"Blue Rooster's decision to locate a poultry facility in Warren is great news for Southern Arkansas," Governor Mike Beebe said.  "We appreciate the City of Warren, the Arkansas Development Finance Authority and the Arkansas Economic Development Commission for working together to make this project possible."

Blue Rooster’s operation will primarily focus on deboning poultry for Ozark Mountain Poultry (OMP), a family-owned company based in Rogers, Arkansas. OMP produces more than 3 million pounds of antibiotic free poultry per week for the restaurant industry and its products are also available at a variety of grocery retailers throughout the country through its consumer based brand Forester Farmer’s Market.  OMP will also be a majority owner of the newly formed company.

Ronnie Hightower will serve as plant manager of the new facility and Jeff Coffman will be facilities manager.  Hightower and Coffman are also part owners of Blue Rooster.

Blue Rooster is leasing the former H&L facility through an agreement with the Arkansas Development Finance Authority(ADFA).  "ADFA is excited and Blue Rooster's and OMP's commitment to Warren and Bradley County," said Gene Eagle, ADFA President.

Mayor Bryan Martin stated, "this is a good day for Warren and a good day for Southeast Arkansas.  We welcome Blue Rooster LLC and it's parent company Ozark Mountain Poultry to our community."

OMP is a unique company.  According to their website, they operate by a strict "Growing Protocol." They use "No Antibiotics - EVER." OMP also states that they never feed their chickens animal by-products.  None of their chickens are ever given added hormones.

"Our chicken is 100% all natural. We believe you should consume only what nature intended. There are no added chemicals, hormones or artificial ingredients in our chicken that you bring home to your family," states the OMP website.

The website continues, "We believe a low-stress environment results in healthier, tastier chicken. That’s why all of our chickens are raised at local family farms where they freely roam their barn. Our farmers must pass  rigorous third-party audits and animal welfare certification standards because key to living our philosophy is keeping flocks healthy. With clean houses, fresh water available at all times, healthy ventilation, a steady stream of natural nutrients, lighting to mimic the natural environment and climate controls (complete with a backup generator), we’ve found it’s not necessary to medicate our flocks to keep them healthy and growing. Our barns provide a top-of-the line home where our chickens can comfortably do as chickens do—flock together."

Richardson Seeks City Council Position

Official Press Release from Tommy Richardson:

Warren businessman Tommy Richardson has announced his intention to run for Warren City Councilman, Ward 3, Position 2.  He has lived his entire life in Warren, except for schooling and military duty.

On graduating from Warren High School and then the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville in 1968 majoring in general management, Tommy, in the meantime married his wife Cathy, who later served 20 years as Bradley County Circuit Clerk.

Tommy entered the logging business first with his dad, as manager, and later on his own until retirement in April 2013.

During this same 45 year period he served 37 years in the Army National Guard, including over a year in Iraq.  He retired from the Guard in 2005 as a Lietenant Colonel.

He and Cathy raised four children in Warren, and now spend much of their retirement time "doting" on their twelve grandchildren.  They are members of Immanuel Baptist Church where they are active in the choir.

Tommy's concern now is improving the city and community he has always called home.  "So much could be done for so little," Tommy says.  "First impressions(appearance) are important.  We need to work on this and go from there if we expect to attract new industry.

Tommy feels he can now best serve his community as a City Councilman.  An infusion of new personalities, ideas, experiences, and opinions is paramount to keeping up with the constant challenges of modern government.

Tommy would be running as an independent, as he believes local government cannot be labeled as that of one or two political parties.  "I'm for the Warren Party," says Tommy.  "My dad would be great as a Councilman," says Carole Lee Little, his daughter and another lifelong Warrenite.  Her husband Ben agrees.

Richardson states, "With several other such endorsements, I submit my name for Ward 3, Position 2, for consideration for city councilman this fall."

            Students who complete the early childhood program will be able to observe and assess children from birth to five years old, plan developmentally appropriate programs for these children and be able to apply the principles of child development.  Graduates also are able to establish effective relationships with families and understand the strategies involved in managing an effective program.

            New students must complete an enrollment application and submit a copy of their immunization record and high school and/or college transcripts.  Entrance exam scores are also necessary.

The Southeast Arkansas Cornerstone Coalition is now accepting applications for communities, and community projects, to participate in the Cornerstone Leadership Development Institute’s S.E.E.D. Initiative. The S.E.E.D. (Student Engaging in Economic Development) Initiative is a partnership developed between the University of Arkansas at Monticello and the Cornerstone Coalition where college students, in participating courses, engage with the region’s communities to provide assistance and help brainstorm solutions to address community needs as a part of a for-credit curriculum-based course model. “The Cornerstone connects S.E.E.D. participating communities and UAM faculty together to coordinate service learning engagement into college courses,” Coalition Director Zack Tucker explains. “The purpose of the program is to encourage and inspire college students to become engaged to their region's communities.”



The experience offers a community an opportunity to engage with the region’s budding young professionals and gaining unique feedback from the area’s students. As a result of a communities participation as a S.E.E.D. community, the Cornerstone Coalition will develop a report of the class’s engagement in the community; also providing the community with continual networking and program assistance after the course.

Successful S.E.E.D. projects include the revitalization of a farmer’s market located in Downtown Monticello, AR. The engagement and research of UAM agriculture student Jack Pace, under the instruction of UAM instructor Paul Francis, has grown into a community based market that offers homemade crafts, art and soaps available for the purchase; in addition to homemade jams and jellies, fresh farm eggs and locally grown produce. By connecting Pace’s research, through the S.E.E.D. Initiative, with community partners such as the Monticello-Drew County Chamber of Commerce, Feed the Kids Community Garden and the County government, Pace’s student project resulted into actual community development.

Interested communities can apply and review the criteria for eligible communities at the Coalition’s website: www.searkcornerstone.org. Deadline to apply for participation as a S.E.E.D. community is August 31. For questions or assistance completing this application, email Director Zack Tucker, tucker@uamont.edu.

The Southeast Arkansas Cornerstone Coalition is the regional community and economic development partnership representing Ashley, Bradley, Chicot, Desha and Drew Counties. The Cornerstone Leadership Development Institute is the region's premier resource for leadership development and civic education that is community-based, intergenerational, and inclusive of leaders from all sectors of our community.
