MONTICELLO, Ark. — In June 2024, Dr. Kevin Bryson was sitting in the Miami International Airport, applying to academic teaching positions on his laptop. Having just earned his Doctor of Musical Arts degree in jazz instrumental performance from the University of Miami in May, he was awaiting a flight to London, England, where he had been invited to play bass trombone on a jazz album to be recorded in the historic Abbey Road Studios.

It’s been a week——maybe longer it seems; time froze somewhere between last Friday and the Ice Apocalypse here in Desha County. Roads turned into skating rinks, thermometers gave up, and Mother Nature reminded us who’s really in charge.
Through it all, Desha County folks did what they always do: pulled together, showed patience, and helped one another. I want to say a huge thank-you to our residents for your understanding, good humor, and common sense ( most of the time) during a week when none of us had much traction or control.

Mackane Burchfield
Dumas, Ark. — The First NaturalState Bank (FNSB) is pleased to announce the addition of Mackane Burchfield as a Loan Officer, further strengthening the bank’s commitment to serving Southeast Arkansas and its agricultural communities.
A native of Halley, Arkansas, Burchfield has deep roots in the Delta. Though his career took him away for a time, he maintained a strong connection to the region through frequent visits to hunt, fish, and spend time with family. That enduring bond ultimately led him back home in 2022, when he relocated to Desha County.
