Our mission is to address, remedy, and prevent child abuse and neglect by creatingsafe, secure, and healthy homes for children.
The 27th Annual Coun-try Christmas Craft Fair was agreat success! The Ranch hadaround 55 crafters come infrom all around Arkansas andeven parts of Missouri. Therewere crafts of all kinds in allthree of the buildings at ourmain campus in Batesville.When you entered into thefirst building the smell of warm cinnamonrolls dances through the air. As you walkdown the aisles you see the Ranches com-pany store, the ever famous CypressSanta’s, and a man serenading shopperswith jovial Christmas tunes on his accor-dion. The line for cinnamon rolls stretchesout, proof that these sweet treats don’t justsmell good, they taste wonderful also. Aslunch time comes around the savoryaroma of Chili fills the air. Walking pastthe food area you come across handcraftedwooden toys and jewelry.
Outsidethere are stillmore crafts asyou make thetransition tothe secondbuilding. Al-paca soaps and
lotions wait inside the door, with otherbeautiful crafts. Walking down the hallwayyou find sweet treats. The Ranches girlshouse has made jellies and jams from
scratch along with beautifulbracelets made from beadscrafted by orphans in Africa.Each girl is wearing a brightlycolored shirt with the phrase“Gratton Girlz be Jammin”.
In the next building thesmell of gourmet coffee andcinnamon rolls greet you. Hereis a chance for you to sit down
and rest a bit before you shop around thisbuilding for more handmade crafts. Thisarea is where Ms. Cheyenne was working.Cheyenne has been a houseparent formore than30 yearsand hasraisedmany chil-dren here atthe Ranch.This yearseveral ofthe children came back to visit the Ranchand experience Country Christmas again.Each child, now turned into adults, cameto hug Ms. Cheyenne and show off thechildren they now love and care for them-selves. Each moment was a joy for Ms.Cheyenne as she hugged and posed forpictures with each of her children that hadcome back to see her. Next year’s CountryChristmas can only improve and hopefullyeven more people can come out and enjoya little holiday cheer!

During my years of writing thiscolumn for the Ranch Report, somecolumns came easier than others. Ifound this one to be difficult. I alwaystry to share what is on my heart, butsometimes my heart is too full toshare, and I have to figure out a way toset my feelings aside.
I was recently asked about how Iwanted to secure my “legacy.” I thinkthe person who asked was referring topublic accolades. But all of a sudden Ifound myself spending time ponderingwhat it means for me to “leave alegacy.” Usually that word conjures upthoughts of a gift of property especiallypersonal property such as moneyhanded down by a will...a bequest. It istrue that I intend to leave that type oflegacy to continue my support of thecauses I care about. The Ranch hasbeen very blessed over the years by car-ing people who have put us in their es-tate plans. Which goes to prove thatmoney doesn’t leave a legacy; the giverdoes that.
For almost as long as I can re-member my only long term goal hasbeen to serve. For years I have soughtout the best and most creative ways toserve children in need. That is wheremy passion is. Though I have never re-ally sought leadership roles, they seemto seek me. For example, I never reallywanted to be the CEO of the Ranch,but I was asked, and I said “yes”... (Mywife says I always say “yes” and thatmy mouth doesn’t seem to be able toform the word “NO!”) I didn’t feelentitled to the job especially because Iwas happy counseling kids, was verygood at it, and enjoyed the feeling thatI worked for them. I admit I was ex-cited about becoming the CEO be-cause I thought I could make a biggerdifference for the kids. I also knew italso meant there would be a largernumber of stakeholders to serve. Im-
mediately I had to figure out howto serve staff, donors, Board
know I am at retirement age yet thereare so many kids in need. I worryabout who will love them. Don’t getme wrong, I am slowly coming togrips with aging, and I recognize theneed to slow down from my usualbreakneck speed. But, I have gainedwisdom the hard way, and wisdom de-mands expression. I love to learn; Ilove kids with spunk; I am good withthem; and I choose to share my lifewith them.
I believe my service to others hasblessed them and that I have beenblessed by my service. My work here isnot quite done. Besides, I would makea rotten couch potato!
In front of me as I write, arewords I try to live by…a modified ver-sion of a poem:
One hundred years from nowIt will not matter;What kind of car I drove,What kind of house I lived in,Or how much money I had,Nor what my clothes looked like.
One hundred years from nowIt will not matter;What schools I attended,How large or small my church,Or how tall or short in stature I was.But, I believe, that the world will be a
better place...Because I sought to be important in
the life of a child…many timesover.
I believe that the Ranch is thebest program for children in the Stateof Arkansas. You and I are making ahuge difference in the world; — onechild at a time. That is the only legacythat really matters to me!
Shalom

members and others… in addition tothe kids. It seems that the bigger therole the greater the sacrifice in time,sleepless nights, time away from fam-ily, and pieces of myself. Yet, somehow,as an extrovert, I found service to beenergizing and its own reward.
Somehow, I became recognizedas a leader. With that came a certainamount of prestige, and acknowledge-ment followed. I realized that I was re-ally uncomfortable with that. I didn’twant to become one of those pre-tenders Jesus referred to when he said:“When you pray, do not be like thosehypocrites, for they love to pray stand-ing in the synagogues and on streetcorners to be seen by other men. I tellyou that the truth, they have alreadyreceived their reward in full!”(Matthew 6:5). I believe my rewardwill come in my next life! I am com-fortable with that, and I am willing towait. Earlier this year, when we werestruggling at the Ranch, one of ourformer residents called me and askedme how many kids I had worked withover the years. I responded:”severalthousand.” To which he replied:”Don’tyou think you have already done yourpart?” I knew what he was trying tosay but I don’t think in those terms. I

Christmas PartyWoodmen of the World Life Insurance Group sponsored a visit
from Santa this year. Each of the kids get to sit on his lap and receiveda present, one little boy even got a pogo stick. Along with the presents,the Woodmen also provided pizza and desserts.
Farm Bureau Lends a HandRecently, Farm Bureau volunteered their time and considerable tal-
ent to help the Youth Ranches’ farm team strengthen its livestock pro-gram. Last summer’s drought took a heavy toll on our land and livestock,and combined with extreme swings in the weather this winter, it hasthreatened our herd. Unfortunately, this is a common story for many inthe farming community. The main goal of the Ranches’ farm program isto be an opportunity for our children to gain work experience whilebuilding healthy relationships with animals. Ranch board member BeauBishop, who is the Coordinator of Local and Rural Development Gov-ernmental Affairs for Farm Bureau, helped connect the Ranch with thegood folks at Farm Bureau. Farm Bureau has been out at the Ranch pro-viding tools, manpower, and expertise to help expand and enhance ourfarm program. Through this partnership, the Ranch hopes to grow ahealthier, more sustainable farm program for our children to learn.

Faith Hall NewsThe ending of one year and the
start of another is as good of a time asany to thank those around you thathelped shape your life. I just want tosay how very thankful I am for thechildren in my care. They have given
far more to me than I could ever give to them. I’mthankful that each one is different and adds character toour home here at Faith Hall. While we are busy going invery different directions I cherish the times we all sitdown as a family and enjoy time together. Many of theguys are involved in sports, band,F.C.L.A., and F.B.L.A. Some are busywith drama. Some have odd jobs theydo to earn extra money. Some of theboys ride their bikes and jump on thetrampoline. Even though we are con-stantly on the go, we do attend church together and eatour meals together. I wouldn’t trade those times for any-thing. We are all very thankful for the people who aredonors who make sure we are able to do “family things.”A few months ago our house was a little sad, as we had tosay good-bye to our dog Scully. He was a very sweet dogand we miss him, but we know that things like this hap-pen in life and are we are all adjusting to the changes. Ifyou have given monetarily, prayed for us, volunteered, or
whatever it may be, we are sincerely grateful. CheyenneIngram, Houseparent

Miranda is endeavoringto raise funds for a band tripto Hawaii. The school bandhas a ‘retired tech’ fundraiserin which they are recyclingold laptops, cell phones,iPads, iPods, mp3’s and othersmall/portable tech gear. They have had several salesfundraisers and the kids are working hard to make the tripa reality.
Lexi has planned a bake sale to benefit the sparselyappointed kitchen in the school’s Family and Parentingclass complex. She contacted a local grocery store and re-ceived permission to set up the sale, has recruited severalof her classmates, they’ve created flyers, posters and theyhave begun cooking in the classroom kitchen at school.
And, as always…we find ourselves at peace in themidst of this little whirlwind we call home, where the girlsalways have something new to say or do and the days neverend up as we planned. It’s been a great year on the Lake andwe are looking forward to an eventful 2013.
Independent Living NewsThe Independent Living house is a place for those
kids that are old enough to start transitional living. Thatmeans that our kids can learn the lessons and values theyneed to one day be a self-sufficient adult. These lessonsinclude cleaning up your living space, buying their owngroceries and keeping a budget for themselves.
José is the current resident at In-dependent Living and has alreadylearned all sorts of things people takefor granted every day. He didn’t knowhow to pump gas into a car becausehe had never needed the skill before.Each day is a learning opportunityfor him. Before he goes grocery shop-ping he makes a list of all the things that he needs andplans his budget accordingly.
Being a very social person, José often comes down tovisit the other houses and sometimes even cooks themdinner. Just recently he made it onto the local soccer teamwhere he has to run 2 miles at every practice. Eventhough he is tired and sore at the end of the day he ismaking it through and dedicating himself to his practice.
Christmas break the girls decorated their Christmas Treewith cheer and are exciting for the new year.
Keith Hall NewsKeith Hall has had a pretty good
new year so far. The boys enjoyed thelong Christmas break from school andwere thankful for all of the presents thatthey received. After the big snowfall wegot the boys have been out playing foot-ball in the snow and having fun allaround.
Horses have been a big part of our boys’ life hereso far. They often go out to visit and pet them in thepasture. Besides being with the horses the boys enjoybeing outdoors in their work boots as they explore ourbeautiful campus.
School started back withouttoo many complaints and theyhave gotten back into the swing ofa daily routine. James loves towork with computers and hopes toone day work in a field where hewill get to enjoy it all the time.The rest of the boys love playingvideo games, skateboarding andjust having fun being a kid. Overall 2012 was a goodyear for us here at Keith Hall and we know that 2013will be good too.

17th Annual Arkansas Children’s Award DinnerThe 17th Annual Arkansas Children’s Award Dinner was a great success! The
Ranch recognized and honored Gus Malzahn for making a difference in the lives ofArkansas’ children. Governor Mike Beebe was Master of Ceremonies at the Em-bassy Suites in West Little Rock on October 26, 2012.
Each year a Rancher speaks at thedinner about living at the Arkansas Sher-iffs’ Youth Ranches. This year’s speakerwas a little different. Paul Stapleton, a for-mer rancher and employee at the Ranch,gave his story to the captivated ballroom.Paul shared his journey that brought himfull circle back to the Ranch. We areproud of his convictions and his desire tocome back and help the children who arenow at the Ranch.
The Ranch hosted a fall festivalfor the kids this year to give them alittle break from school. Everyoneenjoyed themselves as they huddledtogether for the chilly hayride thattook them around the neighbor-hood. To start out the festivities thekids got to dig into a large meal ofpigs-in-a-blanket, rolls, cheese dip,and ham. And to top everything off, the number of
cupcakes made for the kids wasout of this world. The punchwas gone within the first 15minutes and the kool-aid fol-lowed close behind.
While everyone was finish-ing eating something unex-
pected happened. One of our staffmembers got down on one knee andproposed to his girlfriend. The kidsbroke out in cheers when she saidyes! Congratulations and hugs weregiven all around as they shared theirspecial day with the kids that theyhad come here to help. After every-one had calmed down a bit another
hay ride was organized to help everyone cool down. Games were set up for the kids that involved dig-
ging through a whip cream covered pie tin to findgummy bears, delivering skittles to another bowl acrossthe room with a straw, and fishing for donuts. Littleprizes were given to the top winners and consolationprizes for everyone else. Everyone had a wonderful timeand said they couldn’t wait until next year.
Fall Festival
New baby calf.
The children here at the Ranch were all geared upfor the chilly holiday season we have had. I personallylove that time of year for all the crisp fall smells andthe perfect weather for outdoor activities. The barn hasbeen a-buzz with action with the kids working con-stantly with our pigs, sheep and new baby colt. Thislittle colt is already being spoiled by the kids who haveaffectionately named her Bella.
We recently started a wilderness survival groupfor the kids to learn outdoor skills. The kids have reallyenjoyed learning how to make a campfire, find a good
walking stick, and many other wilderness survivalskills.
The number of children that we get to serve hereat the Ranch is growing daily and we have been blessedwith getting to interact with these great children. Be-cause of the growing need from Arkansas’ children weare opening another home for boys at the Batesvillecampus. I am so proud to have a team so dedicated tohelping as many children as possible and I am trulyblessed and humbled to be working at a place thatchanges so many lives each day. I especially want tothank each of you that have made it possible for us tocontinue to support our children. I hope that you allhad a blessed holiday season.
The Superintendent’s Scoop
When I joined the Youth Ranches’ develop-ment team in November, the 2012 Holiday Seasonwas in full swing. As a parent of a seven year-old girland a rambunctious four year-old boy, Christmas isan exciting time of year around our house (to say theleast!), so I was anxious to see how the kids at theRanch celebrated. It didn’t take long to find out thatChristmas is a very special time for everyone at theRanch, and thanks to you, our donors and support-ers, our children get to experience Christmas in aBIG way, some for the first time in their lives. Thegenerous donations of Christmas presents along withfinancial contributions that allowed our kids to buypresents for each other were inspiring!
Since coming to the to the Ranch, I have alsobeen inspired by our staff ’s commitment to the chil-dren we serve. I see this commitment lived out on adaily basis. Whether it is staying late to help a childwith their homework or a conversation about a for-mer Rancher who now has a child of her/his own oradvocating for a child in a courtroom when there areno other loved ones to represent them, our staff al-ways have our children’s best interest at heart inevery situation.
As I am getting to know our donors and sup-porters, I am also learning a lot about the history ofthe Ranch and the countless friends who have been(and are still) committed to the mission of the
Ranch and the lives of our chil-dren. Many make monthly con-tributions to the Ranch throughour Hope Builders program.Some bring by donations of non-cash items for ourkids or our farm. And others have planned gifts forthe Ranch’s future through wills and bequests.
As an organization that receives 95% of itsfunding from people just like you, the Ranch isblessed to have provided safe homes for more than1,100 children for the past 37 years. And again, it isthanks to you and other supporters who have giventheir time, resources, and lives so that the Ranch willcontinue to be for many, many years a place where achild can break the cycle of abuse and neglect andgrow into a caring adult.
As we begin a new year, I look forward to hear-ing and sharing these inspiring stories of how chil-dren’s lives are being turned around at the Ranch. Ialso look forward to meeting the many friends whomake it possible for our staff to do this importantwork. Thank you for your commitment to the chil-dren and the mission of the Arkansas Sheriffs’ YouthRanches. If you would like to learn more about ourHope Builders program, planned gifts, or if I can beof additional service, you may reach me at 501-940-3440 or by email at [email protected].

Committed to New Beginnings at the Ranch by Matt Cleveland, Chief Development Officer
wanted to do well, and they felt safe here. In March2011, kids came to the Ranch with an average of 18 as-sets and had 30 at the time of the survey. In October2012, kids felt that they had possessed 21 assets priorto admission at the Ranch and now have 33.
One child who had increased his assets by 80 per-cent from admission to March 2011, has increased byan additional 60 percent from March 2011 to October2012 and now possesses 30 assets. Another child re-ported having only one asset upon admission and nowhas 39. When he arrived, he reported that he felt terri-ble about himself and that he had no family to love andsupport him. A female resident reported having thir-teen assets before admission and now has 39. She wasalso quick to mention that three of the assets she hadprior to admission, she only had “sometimes”. My re-search proves what Ranch staff already believed—sta-tistics show the Ranch has changed their lives.
Before these studies, we knew we were doing theright thing, even when it was hard. We knew that weloved the kids, helped them succeed in school, andcould talk to them. We could see how they graduallyfelt better about their abilities, their goals, and theirlives the longer they remained at the Ranch. However,to see it on paper in the form of numbers, in additionto that experience, is truly awe inspiring.
No matter how long the day, how much we crywith our kids, or how many battles we win or lose, weknow who we are, what we believe in, and that we aredoing the right thing. We are asset builders. We believein these kids. Thank you for helping us make a differ-ence.

What does it mean to build assets? In this case,we’re not talking about land or buildings, we’re talkingabout people. Kids. What does it mean to raise a childinto a healthy, functioning adult?
The Search Institute created the 40 Developmen-tal Assets after extensive research in what children needto succeed. The results have been proven repeatedlyacross gender, ethnicity, and location. The more assets achild has, the less likely he or she is to use drugs, drinkalcohol, drop out of school, and/or be sexually active.Children and adolescents with 30 to 40 assets are morelikely to become healthy, functioning adults.
Ten years ago, I had the honor to attend work-shops with a Ranch resident and Ranch staff membersat the Search Institute in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Iwas amazed by how much strength the Search Institutebelieved youth had and I felt empowered as I returnedto Arkansas. The staff members felt this, too. I talked tomy school’s Board of Directors and Mr. Cumnock rein-forced to Ranch staff the incredible changes we couldcreate in our kids.
The 40 Developmental Assets consist of fairlysimple ideas, although they may take a lot of effort.The first asset is that a child feels his or her family isloving and supportive. The thirty-ninth asset is thechild feeling like life has meaning. Simple statementsfor complex ideas. What is family? Prior to coming tothe Ranch, “family” was caretakers, whether that wasparents, extended family, or anyone else the child wasliving with. Now, it’s the Ranch family. What is mean-ing? It is to feel that life has a purpose and each childhas goals. These concepts are often a struggle for ado-lescents, especially those with difficult childhoods.
While working on my bachelor’s degree in humandevelopment and family studies, I completed a researchproject on the socialization of youth in foster care. I be-came interested in the kids at the Ranch and how theywere adjusting to the group home environment. Afterall, living with a group of unrelated children and ado-lescents could be considered stressful. In March 2011,I had the kids complete surveys about themselves, theirbeliefs, and the Ranch. In October 2012, I posed manyof these questions again. Both times it was clear to methat Ranch staff were greatly improving the lives ofArkansas’s youth.
Consistently, kids felt that they could talk to theirhouseparents, they had the support of Ranch staff, they
