Klungland receives Dow Jones internship
50 Years Ago From the Herald and Democrat in 1971
The Fire Chief’s job was lowered to a Volunteer Basis and lower out of city limits utility charges were discussed, as was a possible low rent public housing project.
Councilman Chinn, Chairman of the Fire and Police Committee, reported on a meeting of his committee and made a motion, which was seconded by Moss, to abolish the office of full-time Fire Chief and that, effective Feb. 1, 1971, the Fire Department would be served by a part-time Fire Chief at $225 per month.
After discussion, the motion was passed with Councilman Hartley voting no.
The City Clerk informed the Council that the next item on the agenda was an Ordinance repealing the charge on all fire calls outside the City Limits. Councilman Moss made a motion, which was seconded by Chinn, that this Ordinance be tabled for further study. Mayor Henry said that, in the meantime, all fire calls would be answered by our local Fire Department. Mayor Henry called for a voice vote on this motion and it was approved unanimously.

The tide turned for sixthranked Siloam Springs in the third quarter in a 50-44 victory against Greenwood.
The Panthers who trailed by as much as eight points in the first half, outscored Greenwood 18-6 in the third period to take the lead.
Perhaps the biggest play in the run was turned in by sophomore Austin Comiskey, who buried a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give Siloam Springs a 32-24 lead entering the final period.
Siloam Springs was running the clock down and Comiskey stood alone at the top of the key. With around two seconds left he launched the shot, which hit nothing but the bottom of the net.
The Panthers also got two big baskets from senior Nicholas Eshnaur during a 13-2 run.
Kyle Teague scored 13 of his game-high 23 points in the fourth quarter to help the Panthers preserve the victory. Teague went 13 of 14 from the free-throw line.
Payton Henson added 17 points for Siloam Springs (15-2, 3-0), while Comiskey had six.
