This was the word from Town
Hall. However, Monday we
checked again and the town
administration has decided to
stick with the original schedule.
The original curbside recycling
schedule calls for pick-ups in four
quadrants of town on the first
through fourth Wednesdays of
each month. There will be no
pick-up on fifth Wednesday — of
which tomorrow is one.

Rutherford Man
Dies In Crash
The body of a Rutherford
County man was found in a pond
off Hwy. 108 in Pea Ridge
Saturday morning, hours after
police responded to a reported
accident at the scene.
David Wayne Helton, 24, was
found Saturday morning by
rescue workers who dragged the
pond. He reportedly had moved
to Rutherford a year ago from
Indiana and was working for a
beer distributor in Shelby.
Polk County Sheriff Boyce
Carswell said police and rescue
workers were called to Pea Ridge
around 2 a.m. Saturday morning
when it was reported that a truck
had left the road and had run into
a pond in front of Charles Crisp’s
home.
Carswell said the highway
patrol, sheriff’s deputies, and
rescue personnel at first could
not find the truck, which had
submerged in the pond. Only the
antenna was showing above the
surface of the water.
When they retrieved the Toyota
pick-up, Carswell said they found
no body inside and the passenger
window rolled down. Carswell
said police believed at the time
that the driver had escaped and
left the area.
Police began a search for the
driver using the license plate
numbers to find his address in
Rutherford County. It was
discovered that Helton had
moved, and police then began
searching for any friends or

Wolverines
Win “Tough One”
The Polk County Wolverines
won a tough one Friday night — A
14-13 victory over the Chesnee
Eagles.
"It is nice to win a ball game
when you have to work that
hard,” said Wolverine coach
Dennis Stokes. “If you work that
hard and lose, it kind of takes the
wind out of your sails.”
Stokes said some bad calls by
referees made things tougher
than they needed to be, starting
with a call ruling that a pass from
Kelly Ruff to Travis Gilbert was
caught by Gilbert and then
fumbled.
"Travis never had his hands on
the ball," Stokes said
But there were some highlights
as well. Neal Petty ran back the
opening kick-off 80 yards for a
touchdown. The PAT was
blocked.
Shane Foy blocked a Chesnee
23-yard field goal attempt with 22
seconds remaining to salvage the
victory.
After Petty’s kick-off return,
the Eagles took over for awhile,
scoring twice and missing a PAT
wide right, Polk County’s next
drive advanced 55 yards in ten
plays. Sean Cunningham capped
the drive with a four-yard
touchdown run.
Cunningham then went around
the left end for the two point
conversion to give the Wolverines
a 14-13 lead.
"All the members of the team
played well — considering,”
Coach Stokes said.
