If I were the
devil...
As the religious world commutates the death, burial and
resurrection of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ, i
thought it might be appropriate to take a page from Paul
Harvey.
Almost 50 years ago, the
famed radio broadcaster
said, “if i were the devil, i’d
replace the symbol of
Christianity with a rabbit and
an egg.”
With that thought in mind,
we update the late Mr.
Harvey’s thoughts:
*if i were the devil, i’d tell
people to keep their
Christianity to themselves.
i’d remind them religion is a
personal thing and it should
not be talked about publically.
*if i were the devil, i’d tell
the world that good was evil
and evil was good. i’d tell
them that the vile and wicked
religion of islam was really a
religion of peace and that
Muslims are our brethren.
*if i were the devil, i’d tell
the world that abortion is not
murder, but rather a choice
that only a woman can make.
i’d tell them that the fetus
has no say and should be
slaughtered in the womb if
that is the mother’s choice.
*if i were the devil, i’d tell
the world that what God calls
an abomination is really just
an alternative lifestyle
approved of by the Ancient
of days. i’d tell them that
any quoting of Scriptures to
the contrary was hateful and
intolerant.
*if i were the devil, i’d

Murfreesboro track employee charged with 58 felonies
By Joe May
Editor
A Murfreesboro race track
employee has been charged
with fifty-eight felonies after
officials alleged that he
pocketed money collected
from local businesses that
was intended for advertising.
robert Andrew Lockwood,
45, of Ị ashville, an employee of diamond Park
Speedway in Murfreesboro
was arrested Saturday following the races on allegations that he had stolen
$8,025 in money collected to
pay for billboard advertising
at the track.
According to Pike County
Sheriff Preston “Pep”
Glenn, the a l l e g ations
came to light after a
delight businessperson
purchased an ad fro m
Lockwood and paid him
with a check. Lockwood
then cashed the check at another delight business.
the fact that Lockwood
was cashing checks made out
to the track aroused suspicion in delight and one of
the businesspeople called
officials at the track, who in
turn notified the Pike County
Sheriff's office.
As PCSo officials began
looking into the allegations,
it was discovered that
Lockwood had been selling
advertising billboards at the
track to local businesses
since Ị ovember and pocketing the money. the sales
were made “from delight to
Broken Bow, oK and from
Ị ashville to Glenwood,” the
sheriff said.
Lockwood, the track's
announcer, was arrested after
leaving the announcer's
booth following the races
Saturday. He is charged with
57 counts of forgery and one
count of theft. Each of the
fifty-eight charges are Class
d Felonies, each carrying a
possible sentence of 3-6
years in prison and or a

$10,000 fine.
Lockwood was already on
parole for a similar offense,
the sheriff said.
once at the PCSo, Glenn
said Lockwood confessed
to the crimes and said that
he had already spent all the
money.
Also arrested in the incident was Candice rae
Blake, 32, of Ị ashville. She
was arrested on a misdemeanor warrant in connection with the thefts.
Glenn said it is alleged
that she had knowledge of
the crimes and benefited
from the money.
Sheriff and deputy arrest shotgun-toting man near Delight
By Joe May
Editor
“How we done it, i don't
know, but we talked him out
of that shotgun.”
those were the words of
Pike County Sheriff Preston
“Pep” Glenn as he recounted
an incident near delight late
Wednesday evening that
could have turned deadly.
Glenn and PCSo deputy
Clark Kinzler were summoned to the home of
debbie Jackson on old
Caddo Gap road near
delight late Wednesday in
response to a report of
domestic battery. Jackson
reported that her son, russell
dale Jackson, 32, who lived
with her, had struck her and
left the residence in her car,
armed with a shotgun.
Jackson had earlier in the
evening got into an argument
over a chair with his sister,
who also lived in the home
with her children. the sheriff said that the suspect later
became intoxicated and went
into his sister's bedroom where
she was sleeping and grabbed at
what he thought was his sister,
but instead turned out to be
one of his nephews.
A struggle broke out in
which his mother was struck
and Jackson stormed out of
the house with a shotgun and
drove off in his mother's car.
When police arrived, they
located Jackson hiding in the
vehicle a short ways down
the road. He had backed the
car into a shed. After a short
time, the suspect left the
shed and went back to the
residence, which officers had
already cleared out in preparation for a showdown.

arrived
on the scene to find 2-yearold Karsen dean Strickland
in the front yard of the home
with Wood. the boy was
transported to St. Joseph's
Mercy Medical Clinic in Hot
Springs where he was pronounced dead.
A cornor's report stated that
the boy died from blunt force
trauma. the Arkansas State
Medical Examiner's office
ruled the death to be a homicide.
Since that time, suspicion in the death has
focused on the boy's parents, Wood and Aaron
“Benji” Shields, 35, of
Glenwood.
Since
September,
multiple
interviews with the suspects
and witnesses have been
conducted by the GPd and
the Arkansas State Police as
well as the department of
Human Services.
A four-year-old sibling of
the victim was interviewed
and removed from the home,
Glenwood Police Chief
randy
reid
said
in
September, noting tuesday
that the child also showed
signs of having possibly
been abused.
According to reid, Wood
filed a compaint with police
in January 2010 that resulted
in the arrest of Shields. the
chief said that Wood alleged
that Shield had abused both
her and her sons. A subsequent interview with the suspect lead to three charges of
domestic battery.
After Shields posted bond,
Wood recanted and in a written statement claimed that
Shields had not abused her
nor her children and the
chrges were eventually
dropped and she was found
guilty of having filed a false
police report.

Police encountered Jackson
standing in the home's doorway with the shotgun. He
did not point it at officers,
but instead was bumping it
up and down on the floor as
he spoke with officials.
With his gun drawn and
focused on Jackson, Glenn said
he spoke with the suspect inside
the home while Kinzler
watched through a window
with his weapon aimed. While
he said it only took him about
“three or four minutes” to talk
Jackson into putting down
the weapon, he recalled “it
seemed like two hours.”
After surrendering the shotgun, Jackson was taken into
custody without further incident. He was charged with
domestic battery, assault on a
family member, two counts
of aggravated assault and
aggravated robbery.
He is currently being held
in the Pike County Jail in
lieu of a $50,000 bond.
“i'm happy the way it
ended,” Glenn said, expressing relief that officers were
not forced to take defensive
action against the suspect.

Do you remember the
Clark County Tick
Ranger?
Submitted by duel “Tad”
Fendley” as told to him by
d.A. Fendley
Have you every played the
world association game? i
say a word and then you say
the first word that comes to
your mind? if i say the word
“ranger,” you might think of
texas ranger. if i say texas
ranger, you might think of
“Walker, texas ranger,” the
tV show played by Chuck
Ị orris. What about Clark
County ranger? Still nothing comes to mind. What
about Clark County tick
ranger? Yes, i said “tick
ranger.” that is what my
dad called them when he
was little. there real title
was range rider. they rode
their horses around the county and checked the cows to
see if they had any ticks on
them and to see if they had
been dipped.
this all started in the early
1900s when cows being driven from Mexico through
texas across Arkansas to
Missouri. the ticks that
were on them caused
Boophilus Annulatus, also
known as texas Fever or tick
fever. the disease leads to
weight loss, infertility and
death. this brought about
the implementation of the
Federal
Eradication
Program. the texas Fever
quarantine line for the prevention of contact between
southern and northern cattle
was established by dr.
daniel Elmer Salmon. From
east to west, this line bisected the United States from the
lower half of Virginia though
Southern tennessee and into
the southern sectors of
oklahoma and texas and
encompassed
all
of
Arkansas. the line excluded
Ị ew Mexico and Arizona,
but the southern portion of
California was included
within the boundaries.
dipping started statewide
about 1919 in an effort to
control the tick fever that
was plaguing the cows.
Some people didn’t think the
dipping would help. Some
would not even dip their
cows. Some went so far as to
put dynamite in the vats and
blew them up. the vat
inspector and the range
raiders had a dangerous job.
Some of the range riders’
barns in Arkansas were set on
fire and even one was shot and
killed doing his job. one vat
inspector died as a result of
arsenic poisoning from the concentrated dip. He sat down on a
can of the dip and it got on his
pants. He went ahead and
worked all day and he died
before he got home that night.
one range rider was checking some cows one day and
the cows were in a thicket
and he could not get his
horse close enough to see the
cows. He got off his horse,
tied it to a tree and walked into
the thicket. He did not find
any cows that needed dipping, but he did find a mad
bull that put him up a tree.
the cows didn’t leave the
thicket until after dark. His
family came looking for him
and didn’t find him until
10:00 that night.
A trial on the dipping issue
was set in 1926 and a local
judge ruled that the county
was not financially able to
resume the dipping because
of less than $3,000 in the
county treasury. in the past
year, the dipping had cost the
county $32,000. repairs to
the vats were going to cost
almost $10,000 and the
county
already
owed
$160,000 in outstanding
warrants. in 1928, a second
attempted by the state was
rejected again.
Finally, the Arkansas
Supreme Court ruled that the
county had to dip even if the
county had to borrow the
money. the state agreed to
help pay for the program and
by January 1929, the vats
were being repaired to
resume the practice.
the vats were made of concrete. they were about four
feet wide, twelve foot deep
and twenty-five foot long.
the end where the cows
went in was straight down,
but where they came out was
slanted or had steps. the
reason for the vat being
straight down at the beginning was so the cow would
have to jump in and their
head and body would go
under water. Where the
cows came out at was a small
concrete slab where the cows
stood letting the water dip
off of them and run back into
the vat. After the cows, they
were marked with green
paint so the range rider knew
the cows had been dipped.
the vats were built six miles
apart so no farmer would
have to drive his cows more
than three miles. they had
to drive the cows because no
one had a truck and trailer. A
few of those old vats still
exist in Clark county.
My dad said that on dipping
day, there were usually three
kinds of fights each day.
When two farmers got to the
vat with their cows at the
same time, the bulls went to
fighting each other. With a
lot of prodding and yelling
they would finally get the
bulls separated. then the
dogs that followed the
farmer and help drive the
cows would get into a fight.
the farmer whose dog got
jumped on would try to stop
the fight by kicking the dog
that jumped on his dog and
that’s how the third fight
would start. Some of the
other farmers would pull
them apart and after several
ugly words to each other, the
dipping would continue.
So the next time you hear the
words “tick” or “ranger,” i hope
you think about the range rider
that rode around in the woods to
check the cows to make sure
they were dipped, to keep the
texas Fever or tick fever out
of this county.

yummy hospital food
We hadn’t seen our pal, Steve
the cowboy, at the philosophy
counter at the Mule Barn truck
stop for a while. After a week’s
absence, he showed back up for
his daily ration of caffeine, and it
was obvious he’d lost some
weight, if not attitude.
“Hospital again,” he said. We
nodded. Steve has internal workings situations from time to time.
Usually, these happen during a
cold snap when the bunkhouse
needs extra firewood. He swears
this is just a coincidence.
He appreciates doctors a lot, it
turns out. Especially young, cute,
female-lady-type doctors. He has
two of them that look after him.
to quote Steve: “Cuter’n a pocketful of baby mouses!”
But nurses? that’s another thing
entirely.
“they run this nurse in on me,”
he said, “to give me one of them
baths, you know?”
doc grinned. “Cute, was she,
Steve?”
“Cute? doc, her face looked
like it had worn out two bodies.
She had the exact aerodynamics
of a milk carton, and the human
kindness of a meter maid. i didn’t stand a chance!”

“Food any better this year?”
asked Herb.
We had heard all about 12,000
mile-an-hour toast last year and
how they had used it as heat
shields on the space shuttle.
“Boys, they don’t have food in
that hospital. they just want to
tease you by telling you it’s edible stuff. You just take our special
Sunday dinner. they called it ribeye steak.”
We waited while he sucked
down another cup of coffee and
asked Loretta to bring him something that wasn’t good for his situation.
“ribeye sounds good, Steve.”
“ribeye? riBEYE? Say listen,
guys, i don’t know what gopher
they cut that off of, but it was sure
as sin a long-distance gopher.
that was so small and tough …
i’ll bet that steak had more miles
on it than my pickup.”

Change is in the wind
the only thing that remains
that same in life is everything
changes. Change is our only
constant.
When i was a boy in the
1960's and 70's, going through
school in rural indiana was not a
whole lot different than an Andy
Griffin rerun.
Hagerstown had one stoplight. a bowling alley and the
Hagerstown tigers football
team. i was in the band. Unlike
Gurdon's Go-devils, who actually seem to win more football
games than not, Hagerstown
was not so hot. one nice change
was that we did score one time in
one game during my senior year.
Being in pep band, playing a
trumpet for marching season and
a clarinet for concert band, i was
right there with my "charge" on
the horn. But i don't believe the
triumph lasted very long. our
star quarterback scored the sixpoint touchdown and then
changed from a player to a
patient on the next play - somehow getting knocked down too
hard and ending up in an ambulance.
i believe it was Jeff Bell
who made the touchdown. that
guy was always getting hurt so
because he played rough. So we
will say it was him. After he got
the cast off his leg, we had the
winter and spring to congratulate
him... Pushing back time yet
another decade, in elementary
school i recall the day President
John F. Kennedy was shot and
killed. i was in first grade, but i
remember all of the excitement
and not understanding why our
government could not adequately protect the man in the highest
office of the land.
it was my first exposure to
those who hate taking action.
then they killed Martin Luther
King Jr. and Bobby Kennedy. i
guess they figured they could
stomp out humanitarianism by
killing those who were vocally
saying that all human beings
should have some rights.
things changed over those
deaths. Ị ow Americans all do
have some rights. As to me in the
1970's, it was a lot like the television show, “that's 70's Show”,
in that we did "hang out and do
the same old things" a lot. Being
a teenager, paired up with a girlfriend that was 17 when i was
15, i took the more monogamous route but still had plenty of
friends. We were John and Joni.
You did not see one of us with-
John
Nelson
Columnist
out seeing the other. that relationship actually lasted more
than four years, but longer really
because Joni and i had been
friends since i joined the church
choir at the First United
Methodist Church when i was
10.
the big change in my
church that i recall was locking
the doors. Up until i was 15, the
doors had always been left
unlocked and the lights on. one
of my best friends, John Sanders,
and i rode our bicycles into town
from our respective farms to
play ping-pong in the church
basement on many a summer's
day when we were 14. then
about the time i started driving a
car, somebody stole the golden
offering plates from the church
sanctuary and the pastor told us
kids we could not come in anymore unless he was there. the
door was locked... Another
change had occurred.
So let's see, we have political assassination used to kill
dreams that only made them
grow faster, churches that were
once open now locked to keep
crime down, which only made
the thieves more determined to
get in and loot .
Forced change back fires.
Let's leave my childhood years
and talk about now. in 2012 we
have gas prices souring to $4 a
gallon or more, a presidential
race that is looking more and
more like a joke and a business
environment that is forcing simple folk to get complicated or
retire early.
My grandfather used to tell
me "you will either change with
the times or the times will bury
you." those who live in the past
are already dead. Memories are
great, but they are met to show
us wisdom so our futures can be
more calculative and more effective. our memories show us our
good times but also our vulnerability. You have heard the old
saying, fool me once, shame on
you, fool me twice, shame on
me. Hear it again and learn
because the changes brought on
in large part by this presidency
are not over. Sure some are
good, but a lot is like eating glass
in your cereal if you ask this
aging Cherokee.

oh, oh, oh! the vining wisteria that twines around a
truncated tree (left especially
to host the vine) is in bud!
Unlike the bush wisteria that
grows low and blooms a
solid-purple mass, the
American Wisteria (so called
in Carl G. Hunter’s book,
trees, Shrubs, & Vines of
Arkansas, 2nd edition, 1995)
blooms later than “the cultivated forms.”
Also, the vine that i thought
was a white-blossomed
vinca isn’t. it’s blooming for
the first time since it came up
by the mailboxes. the buds
are maroon capsules. on the
underside is a hole with a
white stamen that reminds
me of a jack-in-the-pulpit.
Voila! one of the buds
became a flower with a deep
throat of maroon and a yellow flange or collar. By
next week, i will have found
out the name from my uncle
John Pelton, the wildflower
buff and photographer.
Until then, here is some

i’ve been preparing my students
for their last big assignment of the
semester: a 5 – 7 minute persuasive
speech. of course, selecting topics
is the first and most important hurdle because topics affect every
aspect of preparation and delivery
including research, fact-finding,
and audience analysis.
during one spirited classroom discussion some of my business
majors began asking questions
about social security and entitlements. Someone said something
about our soaring deficits and debt.
And then a student said he didn’t
believe we even had a debt, that his
family had discussed all the press
about the national debt and had concluded all the talk was made up. At
this point the classroom exploded
with protests and laughter.
i enjoy teaching college students
because i learn so much from them
and what they have been taught.
Last semester a student said Europe
was in much better shape than the
U.S. in terms of the economy.
really? We’re certainly heading in
that direction but fortunately we’re
not seeing austerity measures and
street riots that have become so
common across the pond.
A while back FoX Ị ews featured
an interview with a professor from
Valencia College in Florida in
which the professor shared answers
his students gave to his question:
What is your American dream and
how can the federal government
help you achieve it? Answers
included free healthcare, free college education, guaranteed jobs
with good pay, down payment on a
house, etc.
out of curiosity i asked my students a similar question (What does
the government owe you?) and told
them not to write their names on the
paper. After they turned in their
papers, we discussed the question in
class as a means to stimulate
thought about persuasive speech
topics.
About half the class responded the
government owed us protection
from attack (foreign and domestic),
transportation (infrastructure), and
truth in governing. i was impressed!
Several students wanted more
money and lower taxes from the
government … literally. Yes, i
know that begs the question of
where the government gets money
in the first place, but these students
apparently believe the government
has plenty of money without us
having to give it more through
taxes.
Some surprising answers: free gas
for cars; no taxes; provide more
money; give higher tax refund
checks; a job (better and more); free
college. And, the winner: “What the
government owe Me!! More
money for college, just more
money in general.”
remember, these students, mostly
freshmen and sophomores, will
vote for the first time in
Ị ovember.
Scarier than that, consider
how these students developed
these expectations of government. their answers reflect not
only what they’ve learned in
their families, but also what
they’ve learned in school about
how our government works.
Since the Ị ew deal of the
1930s and through the Great
Society and the War on Poverty of
the 1960s, we’ve literally taught
generations of families who are
nearly if not totally dependent on
Uncle Sam for their livelihoods that
government’s role is to provide a
long list of benefits and services (see
lists above) including “money.”
if i were among these generations
of government-dependent families,
i would certainly vote early and
often for candidates who offered
“free” benefits, services, and money
at the expense of “rich folks.”
Because, after all, it’s only
“fair.”

Confessions of a horseshoer
was asked by the author of
Confessions
of
a
Horseshoer* if he could use
one of my quotes in his
book. i agreed. He sent me
a copy. the quote he used
was “it’s not that horseshoeing is so hard, it’s just the
dread of doing it.”
My first confession: it was
not original; a horseshoer
said it to me. Alas, i can’t
remember who it was so i
will simply attribute it to the
Anonymous Horseshoer.
My second confession is, i
shoe my horse. i don’t shoe
other peoples; most can’t
afford to have them lame
that long!
As i read of ron’s experience as a horseshoer, my
own personal catastrophes
kept popping up. He never
wears a wedding ring while
shoeing. i still tell the story
of the newly married
Artificial insemination technician (a type of theriogenologist) from Cedar City, Utah.
He ran out of sleeves one
afternoon, so finished the
last cows “bare-handed.”
When he got home he discovered he had lost his
shiny, one-of-a-kind, 24 payments, wedding ring! He
went back to the farm the
next day with a metal detector but never found it. His
mother-in-law was vindicatShe had warned her
ed.
daughter “…Ị ever marry
someone whose job you
can’t pronounce!”
Confession #3: it was such
a good story that i filmed it
for my television program.
Whilst shooting the B-roll, i
lent the film crew my own
wedding ring to use as a
prop. i’ve never seen it
again, except in reruns, atop
a cowpie.
i use what i call a “punch”
to enlarge the nail holes in
the horseshoes. in his book,
ron calls it a “pritchell.”
While he was heating his up
to reshape the tip with a
hammer, the pritchell slipped
from his grip.
it spun
upwards and the sharp, hot
end went up his right nostril!
He said he could hear it hiss
as it cauterized his membranes.
Confession #4: i had a
friend who was tightening a
hose clamp on a slick pipe
and stuck a screwdriver up
his nose! i can’t remember
if it was a Standard or
Phillips head.
Another of ron’s stories
recalled while trimming a
cow’s foot was that he
restrained her by running a
rope from her foot to an

overhead rafter in the barn.
She objected, kicked out and
pulled the roof down on top
of him!
Confession #5: in the lifetime process of learning
which horses Ị ot to tie
hard-and-fast while shoeing,
doctoring or cinching up,
i’ve pulled down porches,
cyclone fences, t-posts, statues, totem poles, chimneys
and signs saying, “don’t tie
your horse here!”
the book was great but ron
never answered the eternal
question, “Why do some
people
become
horseshoers?” For myself, i can
only explain it by asking,
“Why do some dogs chase
cars?”

2012 Newbery and Caldecott Winners
Meet Illustrator Chris Raschka
National Library Week, which runs
from April 8 to 14 this year, has the
theme “You belong @ your library.”
Into the arts
Chris practiced the viola so much
that he injured his hand. He then
worked for an attorney to support
himself. He started illustrating
for a law magazine and then for
newspapers. On his own, he kept
writing and illustrating picture books.
“Throughout all my days in school
and after school,” Chris said, “I was
more involved in music and art.” He
never imagined he could do these
things for a living.
The Caldecott Medal is presented
each year to the illustrator of
the most distinguished picture
book for children.
Chris studied biology in college,
planning to work in animal behavior.
He took a year off school to work with
physically disabled kids in Germany.
“I was so changed and moved
by that year of work that I was no
longer so eager to continue in animal
studies,” Chris said. He decided to
become a doctor.
In “A Ball for Daisy,”
a big dog takes
away a little dog’s
ball. Chris got the
idea from a time
when his son was 4
years old and a dog
stole his son’s ball.

Chris Raschka, 53, and his wife, Lydie,
have a 16-year-old son, Ingo. His wife is a
freelance writer whom he met in art class
in college. They live in New York City with
a cat named Apollo and an aquarium full of
snails.

Career change
photo by Catherine Wink
Chris Raschka won this year’s
Caldecott Medal for “A Ball for Daisy.”
Chris has illustrated about 50 books,
many of which he also wrote. He also
won the Caldecott Medal in 2006 for
“The Hello, Goodbye Window.”
Changing careers once more
Before starting medical school, Chris
and his wife worked at a home for
physically handicapped kids in the
U.S. Virgin Islands.
By the time this job was over, Chris
had decided he would rather be a
painter than a doctor.
He didn’t make a living with art
right away. At first, he supported his
painting career by playing viola in
small orchestras.
“The Purple
Balloon” was
written to help kids
who are dying or
know someone who
is dying. Profits
from the book go
to a group helping
dying kids.
Some favorite things
Color: “I like a mixture of yellow
and purple, which gives you a kind
of warm gray. I like those kinds of
grays you get when you mix opposites.
Sometimes you can see that color in a
leaf in the fall.”
Children’s books: the “Madeline”
books by Ludwig Bemelmans. “I read
them as a kid, reread them as an adult
and loved them.”

Channel series “Shake It Up!” She was born
in Oakland, Calif. “Zendaya” means “to give

Her mother works as the house manager

She later went to a school for the arts in Oakland. She acted in plays
in the Oakland area and also modeled and danced. She acted in the

Meet Author Jack Gantos
All the following jokes have something in common.
Can you guess the common theme or category?
Some favorites
*ACK'ANTOSWONTHE
Newbery Medal for “Dead End in

The birth of his writing

want to become a writer: reading and
his family of storytellers.
“When I read a good book, it sort
of infected me. It took me over,” he
said. “Books really stuck with me. I
was aware of this as a young boy.
“I didn’t come from a literary*
family, but from a family of good
talkers and storytellers. People who
talked well were always listened to
and given a certain elevated status.”
When he was in elementary school,
he said, “I started to take stabs at
writing.”
* “Literary” means related to literature, or
books.
“Dead End in
Norvelt” is based
on true stories in
Jack’s own life.
Jack is dreaming
of his summer
vacation when he
gets “grounded
for life.” But that
punishment turns
into a wild, fun
adventure.

Keeping a journal
When he was in elementary school,
*ACKBEGANKEEPINGAJOURNAL
Because he wanted to keep his
private writing secret in middle
school, he made matchbox diaries.
He said: “I would take matchboxes,
throw the matches away, and cut
little pieces of paper to slide into
the matchbox. Kids would see me
messing with matches, and I looked
more like a firebug than a writer.”
By high school, nobody cared that he
was writing in a journal.
He urges all kids to journal. “The
journal is kind of a paper mirror,”
he said. “When you take the time to
write, you take the time to reflect.”
*OURNALINGWILLHELPYOUBETTER
understand what you are like inside.
In the chapter book
“Rotten Ralph Helps
Out,” the mischievous
cat “helps” his friend
Sarah with her school
project on ancient
Egypt, making many
messes.
Charlene: What kind of cheese do monsters
like?
Cecilia: Monsterella!
Corbin: If cheese goes on a hamburger, what
goes after the cheese?
Carly: A mouse!
Chester: What do you call very talkative
cheese?
Chad: Chatter cheese!
“All kids need to have a bookshelf
in their bedroom dedicated to them

you have still stolen something that belonged to another. if a judge or jury convicts
you unless a minor, you are
labeled a thief, not trust worthy of handling the public’s
money in at least 48 states in
the United States of America.
i am not taking the side of
the Council member, but it is
elected officials’ responsibility in Arkansas to report any
crime they are aware of
being committed to the proper authorities, or they themselves are guilty of a Class C
Misdemeanor. Perhaps the
Councilmember wished to
keep their record clean.
Evidently the Councilman
reported it to the Mayor. He)
in turn should have after
speaking to the official, contacted either the city attorney
or prosecutor, after investigating. Either he did not
investigate, or covered up
both of their past crimes in
texas. i feel certain with the
stir this case has generated
the Councilman's background has been gone over
with a fine tooth comb.
Anything turn up?
this case has far reaching
effects. We will either
uphold the law of our State
Constitution (Arkansas), or
trample on it.
With great respect for the
laws of both texas and
Arkansas i will close.
Sincerely,
Carol Adams.

dear Editor,
i have been following the
ongoing debacle in Caddo
Valley.
i was under the impression
Mr. dillavou stated he would
step down, if unqualified? i
believe i read that in another
paper.
the prosecutor of Clark
County told him he was
unqualified. He refused. it
was though he was in a direct
fight for lack of another
word with the Councilman.
i lived in Longview, texas,
for many years. if one is convicted of theft, the key word
being convicted with a (310)
code added, those thefts can
never be removed, erased or
expunged. they are kept forever in their crime data base,
that is texas law. His obviously shows a conviction
(310) not a guilty plea..
Also regarding the felon, he
had more than one felony? i
read "felonies” From now
on, he has to state he has past
felonies, then offer proof that
they were excused.
With 3, even if his parole is
up, texas will not expunge.
if he had only one felony,
non-violent, and never again
committed another, in our
state at least (Ar.) he could
vote with the proof presented
to the County recorder.
Perhaps our state
Legislation needs to address
the rights of those convicted
of felonies as well as theft.
Ị o matter where you steal,

Management of Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive degeneration of neuronal function. Memory loss and dementia are caused by Alzheimer’s disease. The
condition primarily affects older adults, increasing with age over 65 years.
Women are more likely to experience Alzheimer’s disease and dementia,
in part due to the longer life expectancy of women than men. The condition progresses over time, beginning with signs of memory loss and
changes in personality, and progressing to diminished physical abilities
and communication skills. Signs of memory loss include repeating the
same questions, misplacing items, and forgetting names of family members.
Persons with Alzheimer’s are encouraged to engage in a daily exercise
plan to maintain overall health and well-being. Cholinesterase inhibitors,
such as donepezil (Aricept) and galantamine (Razadyne), work to improve the levels of acetylcholine in the brain, thereby working to improve
cognitive functioning. Memantine (Namenda ) is classified as a NMDA
receptor antagonist, which works to decrease the amount of glutamate in
the brain. Glutamate is a substance that, in excess, can have a negative
impact on the progression of Alzheimer’s. Memantine may be prescribed
in combination with a cholinesterase inhibitor.

the idea.
What sounded like a fairly simple operation at that time really
wasn’t and i learned real quick
that i probably wasn’t going to
be the man for the job. in the
first place, those old Arc
machines would get real hot
before a four-reel show was finished and you’d get your fingers
and thumbs burned chucking up
that last reel. Secondly, the four
or more reels of film arrived supposedly un-rewound during the
day and you had to arrival well
before show time to get them
rewound and both machines
chucked up and ready to go.
thirdly, there were at least four
ways you could foul up doing the
rewinding, so you had better pay
close attention to what you were
doing or you’d wind up showing
a reel upside down and/or backwards. Finally, when threading
up, you dared not get the
loops too tight or too loose or
you would break the film
which assured that you were
going to get burned, jeered at
from the floor and chewed
out by the “Colonel” who
together with his wife, did a
first-class job of operating
the theater..
that brings me to talk about
those folks who ran the theater,
whose last names i’ll omit. they
may very well have relatives in
this vicinity and i’d not intentionally embarass them. Ị ow, the
“Colonel” and his wife loved
classical music and the stack of
records that we had for the
turntable contained nothing else.
they were dignified folks who
ran that type of operation and
put up with no foolishness.
the orders were to start up
the music softly, with the first
moviegoers present and slowly
increase the volume as the
placed filled with people.

Worship God this lord’s Day!
Being a good neighbor
By JoHN e. WeRHaN
FoRTHRIGHT MaGaZINe
“Observe Electrical Safety” • Your Energy Partner
recently, i was asked to address the topic of
1140 Main Street in Arkadelphia
“Being a Good Ị eighbor.”
870-246-6701
this is an important topic and should be on the
minds
of everyone. As humans, the majority of
• Memphis, TN 38174-0298
people
desire and crave a relationship with others.
T
Such relationships begin with one’s immediate
Alpine, Arkansas
family, moves on the extended family and finally
870-342-9227
to the populous at large.
in some places, a relationship with the last group
is especially difficult. Some live years in an area
and never know their neighbors. in an area such as
ours, we are blessed to at least know the majority
of people in our community.
Yet, such relationships are never without difficulties. Everyone is different and living in close proximity with others can manifest in various ways.
this is why everyone should strive to be a good
neighbor.
Jesus was asked the question, “What commandment is the foremost of all?” by the scribes (Mark
12:28b). Jesus answered them by commanding
them [and us] to love God and our fellow man
above ourselves (Mark 12:29-31).
the word translated “love” in this text is agapao
which means, “to desire the very best for another.”
the second greatest is that we are to agapao (love)
one another as we love ourselves. truly, most people would desire to keep the Lord’s command the
best they can.
Would we like it if someone drove into our yard
and had a party? Certainly, we would not.
therefore, since we would not like it done to us,
why would we do it to someone else? Jesus said,
“treat others the same way you want them to treat
you” (Luke 6:31).
Buck’s Country Store
Knights play Genoa Central
Let us consider two of many points that will help
us be good neighbors. First, let us walk in our
neighbor’s shoes (Matthew 5:5).
our neighbor probably has likes and dislikes that
are different from us. Praise God he did not make
us all alike. Because of this, they may have different tastes in house colors or yard decorations. they
may do things that we would not do. Economics
may be a factor in their decisions as well as health
issues. Before we become disgruntled, we should
step back and consider things from the neighbor’s
point of view.
Besides, they may not like our choices or activities. remember that a person’s house is their castle
and their property is their kingdom.
Second, we need to back up and take a long look
at ourselves (Matthew 7:5). it is imperative that we
be the example of being a good neighbor. We
should make sure that they are manifesting themselves and their actions in a neighborly manner.
there may be things that we do that our neighbors
do not like and would not do. our house color or
our choices in yard decorations may be eyesores.
We all have our own likes and dislikes.
it has been said, “the best neighbors are those on
the other side of a high and sound-proof fence.”
Since this is never a reality, let James remind us of
the Lord’s command, “if, however, you are fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, ‘You
shall love your neighbor as yourself,’ you are doing
well” (James 2:8).
if we will manifest (agapao) the very best for our
neighbors, we may foster a cooperative relationship with our neighbors. it is a two-way street and
we each must do our best to make these relationships grow.

Vision on the Dogwood
As i look out on the mountain in the early
morning hours,
i see the pretty dogwood tree.
While looking at its beauty, with limbs
reaching outward,
it reminds me of what Jesus did for me!
White petals shine in sunlight remind me
of the pure life
the Savior Who died for me.
i can see His goodness, His magnificent
perfection
while looking at the pretty dogwood tree!
As i look a little closer, near the edges of
the blossoms
the rusty stains are plain to see.
i can see the blood He shed, crown of
thorns on His head
i can almost feel the agony!
My eyes fall upon the branches, the bent
and crooked
branches on the tree.
it takes me to Golgotha and the old rugged
cross,
i can see my Savior dying there for me!
As i stand here in amazement at the
wonder of his glory,
the sun shines on the dogwood tree.
it is a glimpse of Heaven, a dewwhisperered beauty,
i can see my Savior waiting there for me!
Lord help me in the winter, the cold, cold
dark winter
and in the heat of summer be with me.
Take me back to Springtime, the vision on
the mountain
and the beauty of what Jesus did for me!

arkadelphia considers tax for sports complex completion; makes chickens legal
By Joe May
Editor
on the heels of a vote for
the city's Advertising and
tax,
the
Promotions
Arkadelphia
Board
of
directors is considering a
possible tax to complete the
city's sports complex.
Local coach david
thigpen, who chaired a subcommittee in the 1990s to
construct the city's current
sports complex, addressed
the board during tuesday
night's meeting and suggested that it was time for the
city complete what they had
started 15 years before.
recalling that he addressed
the board in the late 1990s
about the need for a better sports
complex in the wake of the closing of the swimming pool in
Central Park, thigpen stated that
the board had agreed at the time
to build the sports complex in
phases.
during his tenure as chairman, thigpen said the board
completed the recreation
center, the aquatic park plus
some new baseball fields.
However, he reminded the
group that the project was
only at Phase 3.
“We need to complete the
softball field and the large
baseball field,” he stated.
thigpen suggested asking
voters to pass a ½ sales tax
that would run for three
years. After that time period,
it would convert into a ¼
cent sales tax that could be
used to maintain the parks.
Stating that he did not care
how the city financed the
project, he urged the directors to consider completing
the project.
“it doesn't matter how you
do it. Let's just get it done.
the quickest way would be
to vote in a sales tax,” he
said, adding, “this is not
about ball fields. i feel that
we've set back for ten years
waiting on the economy. it's
time to take the next step.”
director Scott Byrd noted
that he shared thigpen's passion for completing the project, adding that “this hits
close to home with me.”
He then asked if it would
be possible to get a tax on the
election
in
general
Ị ovember, to which City
Manager Jimmy Bolt replied
in the affirmative.
thigpen noted that some
grants could be obtained to
complete some portions of
the project.
Parks and recreation
director Mike Voltz spoke
up, stating that the Arkansas
Game and Fish Commission
does have some grant money
available that the city could
use to complete the fishing
piers at the sports complex.
thigpen recalled that the city
had stocked the youth fishing
pond during his tenure on the
subcommittee.
Voltz also noted that he has
recently received an application for a $15,000 grant that
could be used to compete
some of the ball fields.
Vice-Mayor James
Calhoun, noting that he has
five grandchildren who are
involved in local sports, said
he agreed that there is a need
to finish the sports complex.
“We can't take the money
out of the general fund,” he
said. “We're having to cut
back on the parks now.”
Calhoun noted that should
the city's A & P tax pass in
May, it could raise some of
the necessary funds, but it
would not be as quick as a
sales tax on all items.
“Arkadelphia has the lowest
tax rate in Clark County,” he
noted. “We are one cent
below Caddo Valley and
Gurdon, so we could pass
this tax and still be below the
other towns.”
director Jason Jones noted
that it would be difficult to
convince voters to pass both
the A & P tax as well as a
sales tax for the parks.
“this is one of the reasons
that i am against the A & P tax
because i wanted us to be able to
do more,” Byrd agreed.
Ị o action was taken on the
matter.
Bolt then told the board that

of
Arkadelphia,
has
approached the city about
constructing a hanger at the
local airport to house a plane
that would be used to deliver
pharmaceuticals to various
prisons and nursing homes
around the state.
the cost of the hanger
would be $383,000, much of
which can be paid for by two
grants. one grant is a 80-20
match, while the other asks that
the city fund 10% of the cost.
Bolt noted that as the city
does not have the funds to
pay the matching costs,
Malone has offered to pay
approximately 15 years of
rent upfront to match the
funds. this would be equivalent to $400 a month in rent,
the city manager stated.
the city would own the
hanger and would simply be
leasing it to Malone's company for 15 years. the city
already leases some hangers
on the airport, Bolt noted.
director roland Gosey
sated that he was in favor of
the project, but wanted to
insure that the board “relays
the right message that this is
for economic development.”
“He's building us a hanger
essentially,” Calhoun stated.
Byrd objected, noting that
the major portion of the
hanger would be financed by
taxpayer-funded grants.
“Would we be pursing this
is Sen. Malone were not the
one doing this?” he asked. “i
know he's a corporation, but
he's also a citizen. i think
we're setting a dangerous
precedent. this is government and taxpayer money
being used for this. We need
to explain this to the citizens
so it doesn't look like the city
is building him a hanger.”
director terry Sims said the
situation was the same as
when the board agreed to
help twin rivers Health and
rehab expand their business
by giving them some assistance on running water lines.
“We're providing a business
a break. it's part of economic development,” she stated.
Calhoun agreed, noting,
“Malone says he will prepay

on a 15 year lease so he can
use the hanger. He won't
own anything. He's preleasing it so we will have the
matching funds to build it.
“if he goes out of business,
other people will lease the
hanger from us,” he said.
At the motion of Calhoun
and Jones the board then
approved a contract to begin
the engineering services
needed on the hanger site.
in other business, the board:
*Approved the ordinance
that will officially homeowners to have chickens. the
ordinance will take effect in
30 days. Voting against the
measure were Sims, Jones
and
Mayor
Chuck
Hollingshead.
*Approved an ordinance
that will allow the city to pay
a $17,415.88 repair bill on
the city's street sweeper after
it was stuck by a log truck in
February.
*Heard Bolt say that coyotes are getting to be a problem in some areas of town.
Small dogs and cats are disappearing and the animals
have been seen in the area.
Attempts by city personnel
to trap them have not been
successful, so a professional
trapper may be retained. He
suggested citizens should not
attempt to feed the animals
nor leave food out for their
own pets as this attracts the
beasts.

An Arkadelphia resident
reported that he was robbed
on Main Street as he left a
business Sunday evening
with his family.
According to a report filed
by Arkadelphia Police
officer Jotham Gray, a 29year-old man said that he
was walking west with his
family on Main Street after a
visit to the grocery store
around 10pm when a car
pulled up and he stopped to
talk to the occupants.
the man stated that the car,
a white Chevrolet Malibu or
Cavalier, was occupied by
two black males, one of
whom allegedly had a small
handgun in his hand. As the
men talked, the victim stated
that two more black males
suddenly jumped him from
behind and knocked him to
the ground.
Blinded by the headlights of
the car, the victim stated that
he could not get a good look
at his attackers as they
stomped him on the pavement and stole his wallet.
one of the men had long hair
that was possibly braided or
in dreadlocks and had a spider-like tattoo on his neck.
the suspects relieved the
victim of $60 in cash.
the victim received some
injuries from the robbery and
drove himself to the Baptist
Medical Center emergency
room where the interview
with police was conducted.
A subsequent search of the
area did not turn up the suspects or the car. the case has
been turned over to the criminal investigation division of
the APd.
