america is
not the same
during a recent Memorial
day event, a stark realization came to me as a i listened to the speaker address
the problems facing our
nation. i’ve always said that
over the last twenty years
since i’ve been out of school,
our nation has made enormous changes. But i guess i
never thought about the full
extent of these changes.
in his annual Memorial day
address, local minister
Johnny McAnally noted that
many of our WWii veterans
who perished on the beaches
of Ị ormandy would not recognize America if they were
given the opportunity to
come back and visit the land
they once knew as home.
As i pondered that statement, it occurred to me that
even my two grandfathers
would not recognize the land
in which they lived for over
seven decades.
My maternal grandfather,
Bruce Patterson, was born in
1906 in a place called Horton
Springs
near
Whelen
Springs. Except for a brief
stint in the Army during
WWii in which he was fortunate enough to remain stateside, he lived his entire life in
Clark and Pike Counties,
with most of it spent in the
Mt. Zion Community near
Arkadelphia.
My paternal grandfather,
George May, was born in
1912 in the May Hill
Community near Hollywood.
Except for a brief stint in the
Merchant Marines in th e
1930s, followed by a stay in
the tuberculosis sanitarium in

An Arkadelphia man was

Arkadelphia was northbound
on Highway 19 in a 1994
Ford when he crossed the
center line and struck the left
rear tires of a 2008 Peterbilt
driven by Cederick turner,
39, of 136 texas road in
Arkadelphia.
Pullen was pronounced
dead at the the scene by
Ị evada County County

Gummeson. turner was

Shooting of arkadelphia murder
suspect ruled justified
By Joe May
Editor
Law enforcement officers
were justified in killing the
suspect in the January murders of two Arkadelphia residents.
According to the El Dorado
News-Times, Prosecuting
Attorney robin Carroll has
sent a letter to the Arkansas
State Police stating that it
was clear the police were
justified in using deadly
force against donald Hux,
36, of El dorado. Hux had
broken into the home of
Sandy
Huckabee
of
Arkadelphia a day earlier
and had killed him and kid-
napped Huckabee’s wife and
stepchildren.
Hux was the former husband of Amy Huckabee.
Hux dropped the children
off at his father’s home in
Union County and then fled
with his ex-wife screaming
for help. His father notified
police and warned them that
his son may have harmed
Sandy
Huckabee.
Arkadelphia police responding to the scene found Sandy
Huckabee dead in the home’s
kitchen.
As police continued to
search for Hux, he later came
back to his father’s home and
stole the older man’s vehicle.
the father called police who
were able to locate the suspect and his ex-wife in a
wooded area off Parnell
road and Sonny Brook Lane
in El dorado.
As police closed in, Hux
shot and killed his ex-wife
and then engaged in a
shootout with authorities that
left him dead.
Sandy Huckabee was former Arkansas governor and
2008 presidential candidate
Mike Huckabee’s first
cousin. Ị ow a Florida resident, Huckabee is a syndicated radio talk show host and
has a weekly program on the
Fox Ị ews Channel.

Local authorities in Clark
and Pike County expressed
surprise and concern that a
state listing of properties contaminated by methamphetamine labs revealed several
residences in the area to
allegedly be in need of attention.
According to the website of
the Arkansas department of
Environmental
Quality,
Arkansas Code Annotated 87-1401 requires the agency
to maintain a list of properties believed to be contaminated by the illegal manufacture of drugs.
Properties believed to be
contaminated were found for
Clark, Pike, Montgomery
and Hot Spring Counties on
the department’s website.
the site contains the property address, bust date for the
lab and the date that AdEQ
was notified of the contamination.
the site notes that properties are removed from the
public listing ten days after
AdEQ has determined tha
the property has been decontaminated.
Local listings from the site
with bust dates are as follows:

the most common nutritional
deficiency we have seen in clinic
is inadequate water intake leading
to chronic under-hydration. this
has a dragging effect on the body
as most biochemical processes
require hydrogen to complete the
reaction. Chronic fatigue, poor
skin tone and color (gray-brown),
constipation with dry stool, frequent colds and infections; all
these can be the end product of
not enough daily water intake.
Eight 16 oz. glasses per day is recommended by most.

e d I to R I A L S
Political
columnist
logic has nothing to do with it
Faith in Voting
Just a few days back, i voted
in the primary election so that it
could be officially recorded that i
was in favor of Mitt romney
over Barack obama.
i am just a small time newspaper man with about three
decades of experience in writing,
selling, lay-out, design etc. in the
print media field. But in being
that, i could not help but notice a
few things that were true again
and again politically over my
years of studying the United
States from a reporter's standpoint.
the first such thing involves
experience in an area where the
country is hurting. romney is a
successful businessman. Yes, he
was given money to work with
when he started. But he did not
blow his own financial life. We
have had presidents who did. if a
man can not get his own finances
in order, it might not be a good
idea to hire him to do yours.
obama is essentially a social
worker/lawyer with absolutely
no business experience. it shows.
Second, this is a Christian
nation. it was built on Christian
principles such as the 10 commandments, the Golden rule,
the Sermon on the Mount, delivered by Jesus, and also on solid
work ethics. our country has
always felt good as a whole
about tolerating other religions
and beliefs but also about standing up for what we are. i was
raised to always give a man a
leg-up, but if he wanted a free
lunch to send him hunting
berries in the woods - unless disability made it to where he just
could not work. obama rewarded those who refused to scale
back and survive with bail-out
money to allegedly create
jobs, but yet small business
men essentially could not get
a grant or loan in his administration... Go figure.
As an aside, i have
been selling advertising in
the United States since 1984.
the market, especially since
the stock market crash of
october 2008, has been
harder to make a living in
than any other time since
those early 80s. in my
client's defense, it does stand
to reason that shrinking an
advertising budget would be
preferable to not paying the
light bill. obama blames
Cogress for our economic
woes. i blame the American
people for voting in a salesman
to do a business man's job.
romney is a Christian. He
may be a liberal Christian at that,
but he professes the same faith as
the rest of us were brought up on.
So without dwelling on this
whole presidential race much
longer, i had the choice to vote in
the Primary Election for a Junior
John
nelson
Columnist
Senator
from illinois that in four years of
"trying" has put the country closer to a Great depression than
anyone else has managed to do
since the 1930's, and who says
we are not a Christian nation, or
for romney, who is one of the
most successful business men in
our country and who, more
importantly, will stand up for
Jesus Christ, the only entity with
the power to make our lives better in the first place.
there is also some question
as to obama's loyalty to our
country or to indonesia and the
Muslims. But i don't think we
need the influence of mud slinging to see that obama is not presidential material. our country
gave his "change" a chance.
Ị ow let's take a ragged breath
and go vote that "change" back
into dollar bills and that antiChristian jargon out the door!
Well, you do what you
want. this is America. Me, i
voted for romney and hope he
turns out to be a better leader
than obama. i will vote for
romney again in the General
Election in Ị ovember. But then
again, i did not vote for obama
in the first place. inexperience
and having a basic definition of
right from wrong that does not fit
my Methodist background pretty
much assured that i was not
going to vote for the guy. And i
am glad i did not.
i want to continue to have
the right to tell you how i feel
about politicians and about religion. it is the American way to
express ourselves and enjoy the
freedom to do so. But my title
this week was "Faith in Voting,"
and here is what i met by that.
there was a trend, some
few years ago, for people to sit
back and let the chosen few elect
those who would run the rest of
us. there has also been a dangerous trend to ignore the will of
the majority of the voters in
this country in favor of
untrustworthy electoral college representatives. i believe
that we should not only vote for
our candidates of choice, but also
if an electoral college representative does not vote with the
majority of his or her district's constituents, that individual should be exposed for
their decision.
So when this fall rolls
around, if you have an opinion at all about who should lead
this country, get out and vote.
Voting is doing our part. if
you have that right, exercise
it.
Country evenings....
there’s something to be
said for the brightness of day,
of course, when the energies
of the world improve our lot
in life. But for a special time,
give me the night. Give me
the soft, velvety quiet of a
country evening and its own
sounds and flavors and
scents.
it’s good to hear the night
shift take over the part of our
world we call home. the
coyote yaps off in the brush,
calling his family to the hunt,
the quail have a soft cluck
and rustle down by the creek.
the crickets set up the background music for all this in a
spooky kind of harmony.
it’s a resting time for most,
but for those who will postpone sleep, there is the secret
of another world, where we

A time when we can hear the
world heal a little before it
goes back into daily battle
again. A time when we can
smile and sit and just say
thanks for bringing us to
another evening like this.
if we like, we can do a little
mental planning for the next

reminiscences of previous HemingwayPfeiffer writers’ retreats
to ease the work of my children when i have moved for the
final time to a place other than
earth, i have been going through
printed material that includes
some of my published works.
one son has already said he
doesn’t want anything that doesn’t include my writing.
i came across an anthology
from the June 2006 retreat. on
the first page each writer
penned—for posterity?—“one
true sentence,” from the phrase
used by Ernest H. himself.
Perhaps you’ll find them as interesting and poignant as i did.
“i never think of Mom as a particularly strong individual until i
recall incidents such as this.” –
J.A.
“Excited to be fourteen years
old and scared because i know
nothing about growing up.” –
G.B.
“one truth i hold: Life is not a
linear progressing inching in
years and decades. it is a circle
revolving upon itself, moving
from unknowing to knowing,
sleep to waking, from gain to less
to gain, from birth and back, and
who among us can fully chart the
course before the journey’s
done?” – J.C.
“don’t waste your life grieving
for things that you could not
have.” – Milo Miller, father of

“Books are easier than people.”

“My mother was not a happy
woman.” P. L.
the second retreat i attended in
2007, the mentor began with a
pile of peanuts on the table. the
obvious first task was to brainstorm using the five senses.
Before the week was out, all
writers turned in something having to do with peanuts.
Here is a vignette written by
rita dortch from rector, and is
used with permission. rita is a
retired elementary teacher. the
title is A Peanut day.
“raining again?” i moaned.
“Come on kids, it’s time to go.”
“Ah-h-h-h, daddy, please! Ị ot
today. Let us rest.”
“this is the best time to do it,
because we can’t work in the
fields.”
“Momma, can’t we do something at the house?”
“r-i-t-a,” Momma shook her
head and motioned us from our

the nonbeliever is stuck
in the natural realm. But
at death, both will find
themselves in separate
comfortable chairs. Larry Joe
and i looked at each other with
grimacing faces. thank goodness, i had Larry Joe. He made
the days bearable. He was our
comedian.
We arrived at the barn as the
rain steadily danced on the
tin roof. Under the side shed,
out of the rain, sat a giant
stack of withered peanut
vines covered in dimpled,
dusty, hourglass shells. i
cringed to think that my
oỊ E day out of the cotton
fields would be spent pulling
the musty, bumpy shells
from their dead life-lines.
only the smell of Momma’s
homemade fudge, brimming
with fresh ground roasted
peanuts tantalized my taste
buds.
the musty smell of those
earthy peanuts linger in my
memory—as does the wonderful day we spent with my
brother popping one joke
after another. We laughed
together and forgot the pouring rain.
oh, i wish i had some of
Momma’s peanut butter

tomorrow, i will be among
the writers at Piggott who
frantically works to turn in
pieces for the anthology.
then, we’ll all head home

good feelings about what we

And the two ages, the

All living are stuck in the

Logic has nothing to do with
“it.” i’ve reminded my
nephew-in-law of that axiom
many times when we’ve discussed government/political
decisions. Logic is based on
presuppositions, and one’s presuppositions virtually guarantee or skew what one will conclude using logic…or not.
do you believe President
obama is a great guy doing a
great job? Would you like to
hear about how his promises
and policies have failed the
American people? Probably not
because, after all, President
obama is a great guy doing a
great job! that’s all you need to
know or want to know for that
matter.
How about this Mitt romney
fellow? What’s he all about?
rich guy, inherited millions of
dollars from his daddy, gave his
wife two Cadillacs, made millions of dollars himself by firing thousands of workers…or,
so goes the democratic narrative. do you believe how political opponents characterize
each other? did you know Mr.
romney gave away all the
money he inherited from his
daddy?
Essentially both rich guys running for the White House are
promising the same thing: to
fix the economy and to
improve job numbers. one
promises he can “create” jobs
while the other promises he’ll
get government out of the way
so the private sector can create
jobs. Both believe and promise
their economic policies can
improve the economy, and
make no mistake our economy
is in bad shape.
Just Google the term ‘new
normal.’ Scratch that. Add
“economy” to your Google
search or you’ll wind up weeding through a lot of sites about
the latest glorification of gay
marriage on tV, something the
current resident of the White
House fully endorses. Ị eedless
to say, ‘new normal’ means a
lot more than it ever used to.
You may remember a year or
so ago one of Mr. obama’s supporters asking him if tough
economic times were our new
normal. of course, Mr. obama
insisted at the time we were
just going through a rough
patch created by his predecessor. in fact, he’s still whining
about his predecessor…after
three and a half years, two of
which he enjoyed unencumbered support of strong
democratic majorities in both
houses of Congress that passed
obamacare, a trillion-dollar
stimulus, and dodd-Frank in
spite of unified republican
opposition.
What is the new normal? Forty
straight months of more than 8-percent unemployment (a record),
GdP creeping at 1.9-percent,
Washington borrowing 40-cents for
every dollar they spend, trillion dollar deficits, debt soaring well above
our GdP, and gas and commodity
prices outpacing incomes. that’s
where we are today.
Mr. obama rode into office
promising to transform America.
He’s one of the most likeable presidents since Fdr. But, doing a great
job? i don’t think so. the best he
and his supporters can say about his
presidency is “it could have been
worse.” Ị ot really a good campaign slogan. Perhaps that’s why
the obama campaign is pulling out
all stops to divert attention away
from Mr. obama’s record.
Logic would normally dictate a
candidate running for re-election
should run on his record. But then
again, logic has nothing to do with
“it.”

Back in timber’s youth he got
a job helpin’ gather wild cattle
out of the fields of an Arizona
cotton farmer. He and his pardner, Jessie tried roping them but
were unsuccessful. Ị umber
one, the cows only came into the
field at night along with the
native deer, and two; the horses
were not nocturnally trained and
wouldn’t get within a rope’s
length of the stealthy beasts!
Plan two involved the use of a
tranquilizer gun. the second
night our boys arrived ‘loaded
for bear,’ as they say, and began
stalking their prey. Jesse had
taped a flashlight to his dart gun
and timber carried a tie-down
rope, a flashlight and was wearing a miner’s helmet with a light.
i admit i can sort of picture this
cowboy thought process; combining the skills of a spelunker, a
mountain climber, and a referee at a blindfolded sword
fight!
After two misses, Jesse
pulled down on a long-yearlin’ Hereford cross bull and
fired. right on target! the
chase began but the bull
quickly showed signs of
impaired ambulation (walking like a drunken sailor).
they watched him stop.
then drop to the ground.
timber was on him like a
coon dog on a ham sand-
wich! He rolled the bull on
his side, gathered up three
feet and hog-tied him. the
bull began to struggle and
pushed back. timber tried to
hold his ground thinking,
surely the tranquilizer will
take affect?...but the opposite was happening!
the bull seemsed to be
gaining his balance and
strength back. Jesse was
whacking him with his flashlight, his miner’s lamp
bouncing crazily in the dark!
From a distance all Jesse
could see were two beams of
light jerkily writing on the
earth and the sky. it looked
like obi-Wan Kenobi and
Slim Jaywalker going at it
with lightsabers.
As the bull stumbled to his
feet, timber was still draped
over his back. our cowboy
had managed to hang on to
his flashlight in the scuffle.
Again, from Jesse’s seat in
the bleachers, they might

have been two inebriated
friends who had lost their car
keys. then the bull’s head
cleared and he shook timber off.
Jesse heard a thud!
timber’s flashlight broke, but to
his credit, he still clung to the tierope with one hand and was
being dragged behind the
escaping bull. Finally the
bull stopped and looked
around. there on the ground
lay a wild night-crawling predator creature with one bright-shining cycloptic eye in the middle of
his head. the bull did what any
slightly-drugged 950 lb King-oftop-of-the-Heap,
the-Hill,
testosterone toro would do
when challenged…He charged!
Jesse saw it all. the one beam
of light danced and banged and
flipped and flew in a firecracker
ballet until it finally lay, still shining, a lone beacon in the night
sky.
Jesse ran to the light. “over
here,” said timber, ten feet
away from the luminous ray.
“did you see where he
went?”
“South,” said Jesse,
“towards Mexico.”
“Good, maybe i’ll meet him
again
someday,”
said
timber, “in a taco.”

Let’s Look at London
Romans called the
new city Londinium.
In this image you
can see the wall
around the city, built
for defense.
The city included
a marketplace, a
small temple, a
governor’s palace,
an amphitheater and
public bathhouses.
courtesy LOCOG
Londoners can still see where the
Roman wall around the city was.
Today, the area of Roman London is
called the City of London.
Roman rule of Britain ended in
about A.D. 410. The city was gradually
abandoned, and over the next 400
years it became an empty ruin.
When Saxons from Germany arrived
in A.D. 500, they established a new
town farther along the Thames in
what is now the Westminster area.
But when the Vikings attacked in
about A.D. 886, Saxon Londoners
moved inside the ancient Roman walls
for safety.

London grew as the population needed
more housing, and the city spread to
the south side of the river and absorbed
country villages, which became part of
Greater London.
In Roman times, the population could all
live in the 1 square mile within the walls
and might have numbered 30,000 people.
Today the city covers about 600 square
miles, and almost 8 million people live in
Greater London.

Meet Scarlett Johansson
Living in London
Supersport: Stacy Lewis
Height: 5-5
Hometown: Toledo, Ohio
Birthdate: 2-16-85 Residence: Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
For the most part, life on the links has been good for
golfer Stacy Lewis.
She was a four-time All-American and honor student
at the University of Arkansas. And as a touring pro since
2009, she has won two tournaments, posted 26 top-10
finishes and earned almost $3 million in prize money.
Lewis also knows about life in the rough. Suffering from scoliosis, she
wore a back brace about 18 hours per day for more than seven years and
later underwent spinal surgery.
With a degree in finance and accounting, Lewis is equipped to do more
than belt drives and sink putts. But golf is her gift and her game, and
she’s shown that people can come back from setbacks if they don’t give up.

In 1666, a large fire burned for
five days, destroying two-thirds of
the city. Before the fire, the streets
were narrow, and most of the houses
were built of wood with thatched
roofs. After the fire, laws were passed
requiring building with brick or
stone.
St Paul’s Cathedral
burned down during
the fire and was
rebuilt to a new
design. Its great dome
is a famous landmark
St. Paul’s
in London today.
Going to school
London schools are probably much
like your school. Children study from
about 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with a break
for lunch. Classes have about 30 kids.
Some wear uniforms, but others do not.
Doing business
In the past, there were many factories
and industries in London, but most
people now work in offices. London is
the center of British government. The
City of London is now a financial center,
with many banks.
Rainy days?
London weather can change
quickly and is often rainy. In winter
it can get quite cold, but snow is so
unusual that if it snows during the
school year, schools may close.

The Great Fire
London is full
of historic
landmarks. Many
tourists visit
to see sights
such as Big
Ben (right), the
Tower of London,
Buckingham
Palace,
Westminster
Abbey and the
Globe Theatre.
Tourism is
an important
business in the
city.
Getting around
The London Eye is a giant Ferris wheel
on the banks of the River Thames. It is
also called the Millennium Wheel, having
been built in 1999. From its enclosed
capsules, passengers can get a bird’seye view of the city.

All the following jokes have something in common.
Can you guess the common theme or category?
City’s third Olympics
The 2012 games
London was chosen to host the
2012 Olympics partly because there
were already some facilities that
could be used for the different events.
The Horse Guards Parade is a large
parade ground in central London. Each
year on the queen’s birthday, it is the site
of a ceremony called Trooping the Colour.
For the 2012 Olympics, it will be the venue
for beach volleyball.

in East
London. Workers are busy finishing
impressive new arenas, places for
athletes to live in the Olympic
Village, and a large shopping center.
This area, called Stratford, has
been one of the poorer parts of
London. People there have had
trouble getting jobs. Londoners
believe that the new Olympics
buildings will improve the Stratford
area. This is called regeneration.
People hope the improvements in the
area will also help the lives of the
people who live there.

See “grads, p.
More than 2,000 years ago, prehistoric
tribes controlled the area of England
where London sits today. They built
forts on the hills there to protect
themselves against other groups.
In about A.D. 50, Roman conquerors
invaded and took over the area. They
built a bridge over the River Thames
(tems), laid out gravel roads and built
structures of wood and straw.
Just a decade later, Londinium, as
the city was known, was burned to
the ground by invading forces. But the
Romans rebuilt, this time using brick
and stone, and surrounded the town
with a wall.

Continued From Page 1
Booneville, he, too, lived all
his life in Clark County, living most of his days in
Arkadelphia.
Both my grandfathers died
in
the
mid-1980s.
Granddaddy Patterson has
been gone since 1983 and
Grandpa May passed away
in 1987. Both were godly
men who took morality seriously and passed that seed
along to me. Many times my
mind goes back in memory
and i hear again the lessons
they would give me in how i
should live my life. Most of
those lessons didn’t really
take root in their lifetimes,
for such is the folly of youth
that we only remember the
lessons we are taught long
after the teachers are gone
from us. What i wouldn’t
give to go back to another
porch
session
with
Granddaddy and hear him
say, “You’ve got to love
everybody in this old world.”
“Even girls?”
“Yes, especially girls,” he
would chuckle.
“Even black folks?”
“them too. they ain’t
gonna hurt you. God made
them, too. He made us all.
You remember, boy, the man
that wrongs a black man will
hurt a poor white man, too.”
i didn’t get to have as many
talks with my grandpa as i
might have liked. Again,
chalk it up to youth. But
what i wouldn’t give to go
back and again sit in his
Bible Class or at the dining
table as he spent what
seemed like all day on
Saturday studying for the
class he taught each Sunday
for nearly 40 years at the
local church of Christ. He
took spiritual matters seriously and didn’t mind speaking up when the occasion
called for it. When he spoke,
he spoke as one who had polished the rough edges, one
who had mastered the art of
saying something negative,
yet in a kind and wise way. i
still work towards that goal.
it may well take a lifetime
for me as i seek to speak the
truth as both my grandfathers
did in their lifetimes.
My grandmothers both outlived their husbands by several years--long enough to
see changes in the world.
they along with my grandfathers
were
lifelong
democrats because Hoover
had nearly starved them out
in the Great depression and
Fdr came along and rescued
them. But as the changes
began to come in the last
years of their lives, both realized an undeniable truth.
the party that they had
grown up knowing was no
more--at least on the national
scene. the uncomfortable
truth was that times were
changing in ways they didn’t
like and they could no longer
support the institutions they
once did on a national level.
the time was, liberal wasn’t
such a dirty word. in the
early days, it meant you
wanted the country folks to
get electricity and paved
roads and maybe even cable
television. it meant that
women ought to have the
right to vote and black folks
shouldn’t be mistreated. it
meant that poor folks who
had reached the end of their
working days ought to have
something to fall back on.
And it meant that the disabled among us who simply
couldn’t work should be supported by those that could
hold down a job.
Liberalism also provided
that there would be reasonable and safe working condi-
tions on the job and that
workers wouldn’t be subjected to hours of back-breaking
work for little pay while the
bosses all got rich behind a
desk. it also meant that those
who simply couldn’t make
ends meet despite working
full-time could receive extra
money to support their families.
in short, there was a time
that being a liberal meant
you were for progress. By
progress, i mean moving all
people forward in a manner
that did not run roughshod
over the past, but instead
allowed our world to change
as technology brought about
wonderful new innovations.
Liberals back then simply
wanted good, hard-working
people to have better lives as
new inventions came along
to improve the world.
At some point, though, liberalism went through a
change. Folks smarter than
me say the 1960s brought
great upheaval to our nation.
i only know what the history
books say, being a 1973
model myself. the GoP and
the democratic Parties in
many ways switched identities and partisan politics
became the name of the
game.
Conservatives
became less adverse to
change simply because it
was new and liberals became
more adamant about change,
regardless of what mores and
folkways it ran roughshod
over. More and more, it
seems conservatives began
holding more firmly to the
Bible to support their social
positions while liberals of
both parties seemed to toss
logic aside in the name of
change.
it was Bill Clinton who can
be credited with the creation
of the modern liberal group
think. twenty years ago, the
idea of open homosexuals in
the military was unthinkable
to folks on both sides of the
aisle. And the idea of same
sex marriage? it wasn’t even
on the radar. in fact, when i
first read of it in 1996, it was
in the “odd Ị ews” column
as a story out of Hawaii.
Clinton earned the moniker
“Pander Bear” during his
first presidential campaign
because it seemed he would
pander to any group that
would bring him votes. His
was the first national campaign to give credence to the
homosexual lobby.
While Clinton was not near
as liberal (read “evil”) as our
current oval office occupant, it was he that began the
change by pandering to oddball fringe groups. And once
that bell was rung, it couldn’t
be unrung. Even George W.
Bush announced when he
took office that he had
appointed an “ambassador”
to the homosexual lobby.
When Clinton came on the
national scene in 1991, it
seemed that his campaign
was bound to fail. What
many of us saw as a goofy
Arkansas governor was actually a man who had some
mighty odd-ball ideas. it
seemed he cared less about
normal folks and instead
spent his time pandering to
fringe groups. When he
announced that he was all for
homosexuals serving openly
in the military, i thought,
“He’ll be coming home soon
with his tail between his
legs.”
When it came out that he
had smoked marijuana and
claimed he had never inhaled
and had dodged the Vietnam
draft, i again thought, “Ị ow
i know he’ll be home soon.”
When it began coming out
that he was quite the whoremonger, i thought, “there
ain’t no way he’ll even get
the nomination.”
At some point during the
Clinton election cycle, it
began occurring to me that a
change was taking place in
America. My eighteen-yearold brain really didn’t know
how to process it all, though.
in those days, i don’t know
that i could have even told
you the difference between a
liberal and a conservative. i
just knew that the things i
had always known to be evil
were now being overlooked
in the name of getting a man
elected and a party elevated.
Values that i had been taught
all my life: honesty, fidelity
to one’s spouse and morality
in general appeared suddenly
to be meaningless, something to be scoffed at. i
learned that people i had previously looked up to had no
problem supporting that
which they once would have
rejected as evil--all in the
name of economics. the saying in those days was, “it’s
the economy, stupid.” it was
about achieving the “American
dream” at all costs.
Suddenly, having lower
taxes and a heap of money in
the bank meant more to
Americans than the values
that once made us great. to
have that larger house, people would laugh and joke
that it just wasn’t that big a
deal the Clinton couldn’t
keep his zipper up.
So that they could have a
nice car in the garage, folks
didn’t pay any attention as
Washington and the television networks as they began
pandering to homosexuality,
slowly bringing it and other
profane degradations into the
mainstream. Support your
party so you can receive
money and power. Vilify and
defeat the other guy through any
means necessary.
through the Bush years as
freedom began to erode in
the name of “safety,” few
batted an eye except to say
that they wanted more
money. take our freedoms-just tell us how much better
things will be for us.
And now with the Great
Embarrassment in the oval
office, we have states that
allow homosexuals to marry
each other and a president
who has told us he’s all for it.
And no one says much,
except to say they’re just not
pleased with the way he’s
handling the economy.
When he announced he
would not support the
defense of Marriage Act--a
rightfully passed law--few
blinked, except once again to
say they hoped the latest economic numbers would come
up. When it was announced
that homosexual “history”
would be placed in the
school books our children
read, few newspapers even
covered it. they were too
busy covering the economy
to worry about our nation’s
youth.
When
the Justice
department refused to prose-
cute the Black Panthers for
deliberately
intimidating
white voters in an effort to
place
the
Great
Embarrassment in office, the
nation was silently counting
their money once again,
holding onto meaningless
platitudes such as “hope and
change.” When the department remained silent as the
same outlaw group issued a
“bounty” for a white man
who shot a black youth in
what appears to be selfdefense, folks were weighing
which presidential candidate
would bring them more
money and figuring out how
to totally destroy the other
candidate and his followers.
My grandfathers wanted to
live in a way that would take
them to heaven. today, it
seems far too many of us
want to make our lives heaven on earth and could care
less if we have to send our
souls and the souls of everyone else to a devil’s hell to
achieve these goals.
Where honest debate went
to in the last twenty years, i
only wish i knew. Ị ow, anyone standing in the way of
our economic “progress”
gets a sympathetic look at
best and at worst can expect
to be vilified as a liar and a
mean-spirited bigot with low
intelligence and little education. Print or broadcast the
truth about the American
condition and expect to be
met with insults and accusations of lying. truth no
longer matters; it’s all about
our pocketbooks.
You know, the more i think
about it, the more i realize
that my grandfathers would
not recognize America if
they were permitted to come
back for a day.
it’s getting to where i don’t
even recognize it myself.
So what can we do? in
Ị ovember , we can vote the
Great Embarrassment out.
Send him and his cronies
back to Chicago where they
belong. But that’s just the
beginning.
We must not allow our
pocketbook to dictate how
we are to vote. We can train
our children at home about
right and wrong, but we must
also insist that morality is
present in our government
and in our schools. our children deserve to live in a society that honors God.
All the home training we
give will be useless if the
world we hand over to our
children continues to be one
of great evil.

amity council hires water operator, purchases truck and amends nuisance ordinance
By Joe May
Editor
the Amity City Council
worked through a long agenda tuesday evening which
included the hiring a second
water operator, the purchasing of a truck for the water
department, an agreement
with a citizen to remove
buried metal from the former
city dump and amending of
the city's nuisance ordinance.
Mayor Chester Clark introduced tim trout, who is a
licensed water operator for
the Ị orth Pike County Water
Association, to the council.
the mayor said he has discussed with trout the possibility of him working on
alternate weekends for the
city to relieve Water
Superintendent
Charles
ducotes.
Clark said he has spoken
with Ị PC officials, who
have stated that they have no
issue with their employee
working part-time for the
Amity plant. trout will
work four eight-hour shifts
each month for a total of $20
per hour.
At the motion of
Councilmen dora Lee Bean
and Johnny McAnally, the
city agreed to hire trout.
Clark commented that Ị PC
is still purchasing the bulk of
their water from the city.
ducotes stated that the association is buying about a
half-million gallons per day.
“Can our system handle that
much?” McAnally asked.
“We're doing it,” ducotes
replied. “As long as the river
don't go dry.”
“that's a possibility,”
McAnally chuckled.
the council then looked
over
the
recent
Comprehensive Performance
Evaluation for the water
department, which recommended that the plant be
monitored more consistently.
Clark noted that the hiring of
trout will achieve this goal.
the council also glanced
over the annual state audit
report for the department.
the mayor commented that
the report listed the depart-
ment to be in good condition.
in other water department
business, Clark said he had
been looking into the proposed purchase of a new
four-wheel drive vehicle for
the department. ducotes
noted that he would prefer
the city purchase a Ford as
he believes that brand of
truck would be more heavyduty.
Looking over the state bidding system, which allows
government entities to purchase vehicles at a lower cost
through participating dealers, Clark said that he could
not find any Ford trucks
matching the city's specifications. A dealer's price for the
truck would be about
$28,000 he said; however, a
dealer in Florida that participates in that state's county
bidding system has offered
to sell the city a new truck
for $21,930, not including
tax and $400 to ship it to Hot
Springs. that price is comparable to that of a dodge
truck on the state bidding
system, he said.
the truck would have a V-8
engine with an extended cab,
which Clark said could be
used to haul tools for various
water and sewer department
jobs.
Bean asked why the city
needed a four-wheel drive
vehicle.
Clark replied that the truck
would be used to pull a trailer loaded with pipe for various jobs as well as several
thousand pounds of chemicals for the water plant. in
addition, if the city can purchase a mini-excavator to
replace the current backhoe,
the truck would be used to
pull that piece of equipment,
which weighs 8,000 pounds.
the mayor noted that the
new truck would not be used
for a meter-reading; instead
the city's current small
Mazda truck would continue
to be used for that purpose.
the purchase of a streetlegal golf cart or all-terrain
vehicle is something that he
hopes to achieve in the
future, Clark said, noting that
the city could save much
wear and tear by having such
a vehicle for meter-reading.
Clark noted that the city's
current water department
truck is a 2002 model, which
was purchased used in 2004.
the engine is going out on it,
he said.
Councilman robbie
Hancock made a motion to
purchase the truck, seconded
by McAnally. the motion
passed unanimously.
Clark said the vehicle could
possibly be delivered by the
first week in August.
in street department business, Clark said that three
culverts need to be replaced
on Pine Street near the railroad tracks. in inspecting
the culverts at the behest of a
resident recently, the mayor
said the found them to be
nearly worn through. one
culvert is 30 inches, while
the other two are 42 inches.
Ị ew culverts can be purchased through the county
and installed by city workers, Clark said.
After some discussion, the
council agreed with the
mayor that the problem
needed to be rectified. Clark
will make the necessary
arrangements.
the council also discussed
the possibility of asking a
local resident oversee the
construction of a monument
in the city park that would
honor local veterans. it is
hoped that if someone can be
found to take on the project,
that funds can be raised to
construct the memorial,
which would include the
names of veterans and possibly some park benches, picnic tables and a flagpole.
McAnally agreed to
approach a local resident
about the matter.
Clark then introduced tim
Hill and his grandson,
Austin, to the council. Hill
has asked to enter into a contract to lease the former city
dump, which closed in the
mid-1980s. His plans are to
remove the metal that is
buried beneath the surface
and recycle it, giving the city
a ten-percent of the gross
earned from the sale of the
materials.
Hill stated that he has previous experience in having
removed buried recyclable
materials, having harvest
metal from a portion of the
former Glenwood city dump,
which is now in private
hands. His plan calls for
leaving the land in better
shape than it is currently. He
stated that at no cost to the
city he would repair the road
leading into the property and
would put new dirt in to
replace the materials he
would remove.
He explained that he would
do the work on the 17-acre
parcel in sections so the city
could see the work that is
being done. He would fertilize and plant hay on the land
when the work is completed,
he said.
“that dump is in poor shape
right now,” he said. “i'll
leave it in much better shape
than it is now.”
Hill stated that he wanted a
city representative to monitor the work to ensure that
they were satisfied. He also
agreed that he would take
“total responsibility for any
EPA problems.”
He said that if the city
agreed, he would like to have
a 4-5 year lease on the property to give himself ample
time to compete the job,
even though he noted that he
believes he can do it in six
months. He also said that he
would secure the area and
retain a key for himself and
give a copy to the city.
regarding the length of
time it would take to finish
the property, Hill commented, “You never know what's
under the ground.”
Ị oting that the job would
be done at no expense to the
city, Hill said it is his belief
that both he and the city can
make money from the project.
Some council members
expressed the desire that Hill
purchase a liability insurance
policy to protect the city
from any potential exposure
to lawsuits should some get
hurt on the property.
At the motion of Hancock
and McAnally, it was agreed
to give Clark the authority to
enter into a contract with
Hill. City Attorney Alan
LeVar will draw up the necessary paperwork.
Clark then introduced an
amended nuisance ordinance
that LeVar had drawn up for
the city, which gives the
municipality the power to
regulate problem properties
within the corporate limits
and force residents to clean
up any abandoned homes or
cars or other issues that
could be considered detrimental to the public welfare.
City recorder/treasurer
Heather Bankhead, at the
motion of Bean and
Hancock, read the ordinance
the required three times and
it was accepted by the council and placed on an emergency clause, which allows it
to take affect immediately.
LeVar explained that the
changes in the ordinance
allow the city police to give
out tickets that will summon
the offender to district court.
Should they abate the nuisance before the court date,
no appearance will be necessary, he said.
As the meeting was ending,
citizen ronnie Angel spoke
up, addressing the council.
“i'd like to say that i'm
upset with the mayor and
council. You'd have to have
been growing up under a
rock to know that i wanted
on the council. i'd like to
know why i was treated that
way i was.”
Angel was referring to the
process that the council took
in filling the vacant position
created by the death last
month of Councilman Chris
Fagan.
rather than go
through the process of
declaring a vacancy, the
council instead retired into
executive session and came
out and voted to put Jason
Mitchell in the seat.
in a letter to the editor last
month, Angel took the council and mayor to task for not
declaring a vacancy and giving everyone a chance to
apply for the seat.
responding to Angel's
statement, Clark replied,
“Well, the less said the better. But your reputation was
taken into consideration.”
“What reputation is that?”
Angel asked.
“that's all i'm going to
say,” the mayor responded.
As Angel attempted to
question the mayor regarding
his statement, Hancock and
McAnally moved to adjourn
the meeting.
in other business, the council:
*discussed placing a light
at the west end of the city
park to accommodate those
who wish to walk on the
track after dark.
Clark stated that it would
cost $1,340 to place an
Entergy light pole in the
park. the bill could be paid
in monthly installments of
$11 for nine years, he said.
Mitchell objected to placing
another pole in the park, stating that it would amount to
“an eyesore.” He suggested
looking into another method
of lighting the west side.
Clark said that decorative
lighting fixtures can be purchased at a cost of $2,000
each. Hancock suggested
that if the veterans' memorial
becomes a reality that perhaps the lighting could be
included in the planning of
that project.
At the motion of Bean and
Hancock, the issue was
tabled until more can be
known about the proposed
memorial project.
*Heard Bankhead say that
the olds Foundation has provided the city with a grant
for a new radar system for
the police department.
in addition, the recorder
stated that officer donnie
Forrest will complete his
one-year probation on June
14, which will officially certify him as a Part-time ii
officer.
Come meet your State Senator
you are invited to come and meet our
State Senator larry teague as we congratulate him on his selection as the

reid stated that some of the
information on the list is
misleading. He noted that in
the case of the 1st Street
property, lab components
were simply found under the
house. on 4th Street, he said
the owner followed state
guidelines to clean up the property and on inell, he stated that
the lab was in the woods and
not in the residence.
“i think there’s some paperwork issues,” he commented, noting that he had spoken
to the tenants in the 4th
Street home and said they
reported no problems.
Asked whose responsibility
it would be if a site were not
cleaned up properly, reid
read from a statement written
by City Attorney Jana
Bradford when the issue
recently was broached by a
citizen.
“i do not find that the city is
responsible for doing anything in regard to those properties,” the chief read, referencing ACA 8-7-105 and 87-107, which bans unauthorized persons from entering
any contaminated properties.
Bradford further noted that
the responsibility for the
decontamination of properties used for meth labs lies
solely with the owner, who
must allow AdEQ to conduct an air quality inspection
before the residence can be
removed from the list.
Watson, having researched
the matter further, called the
newspaper back and concurred with Bradford’s
assessment that the property
owner is responsible for
cleaning up contamination
sites to AdEQ standards.
“We’ve never checked,” he
admitted. “But i would be
really concerned
just
because of the chemicals. i
would not want my family
living there if it wasn’t
cleaned up.”
Asked whose responsibility
it would be should it be
reported to his office that a
property had not been legally
cleaned, Watson said, “i’ve
never had that question
Centerpoint trap team takes 3rd place
posed to me. i know there
could be a civil suit because
you’ve rented property you
couldn’t legally rent.”
the sheriff also noted that
should a person suspect that
a property has been contaminated by meth, whether on
the list or not, his office
should be contacted at 870246-2222.
“if somebody’s renting a
property that hasn’t been
properly cleaned, we need to
know,” he said. “it’s a Class
B Misdemeanor and we will
cite [the owner] and give
them a court date. i think
everyone needs to be aware
of this. if you suspect something, let local law enforcement know.”
