COVER


Jackson County illuminates north central Arkansas J


ackson County was the destina- tion for the County Lines cover story for this winter 2013 edi-


tion. We tracked down Jeff Phillips, Jackson County Judge, and spent a day in his neighborhood touring his county and talking about his first term in office. We learned that build- ing coalitions for the betterment of his hometown community has been at the heart of his service.


He is a people person and takes time to visit with his constituents whenever they want to bend his ear. He served the Newport Fire Department for 21 years before becoming judge and his firefighter experience is evident in his work ethic and passion for the county.


County Lines also took the opportunity to visit with 12-year justice of the peace and another pillar of the community — Elwanda Templeton. Their stories are just a turn of the page away.
