Twice in this space, we’ve
called for the resignation of
Amity Mayor Chester
Clark. We had no illusions
whatsoever that he would
actually
heed
our
entreaties; we simply felt
that the concept needed to
be out in the public.
Having said our peace, we
sat back. Ị ot living in the
city limits, the only dog we
have in this hunt is that we
are a businessman and
property owner in Amity.
Besides, the mayor has
been nothing but nice to us
over the past 18 years.
The resignation calls were
not personal. Ị either is this
column. Yes, we’re revisiting this issue after we
swore we wouldn’t. But we
believe we have a valid reason.
You’ve heard the old jokes
about something being built
like a brick outhouse?
Well, we have one in Amity
now and it cost us nearly
$60,000 and it isn’t done
yet. That’s bad enough.
Ị ow, comes word that
firemen missed a tornado
warning last week because
the mayor changed the
locks on the door and no
one with a key was available. Clark’s incompetence
with money is one thing,
but this time, people could
have died because no one could
turn on the tornado siren.
This time, we’re not just
making the call for resignation. Instead, if you are fed up
with the way things are going
in this situation, we urge you to
show up Tuesday night at 7pm
at City Hall and make your
voices heard.
Mobile home destroyed
Joe May photo
A mobile home owned by Tim Efird and occupied by
the Joey and Brittany Singleton family was blown off
its foundation Thursday afternooon by a tornado near
Amity. The home rolled over at least twice.

Two tornadoes came near
Amity Thursday evening,
but residents were not made
aware of one of them
because firemen did not
have keys to get into City
Hall to turn on the city's
siren.
Clark County Deputy
Emergency Manager Dusty
Skates confirmed to the
newspaper that the Ị ational
Weather Service issued a
tornado warning for the
local area around 5:30pm
Thursday. The storm followed on the heels of two
other tornadoes earlier in
the afternoon. In both of
those instances, the city's
siren was set off because
employees were still at City
Hall.
Skates, who spent most of
Thursday watching for
severe weather, said that
when the Ị WS issued the
warning, he instantly
radioed Police Chief Dean
Porter to turn on the siren.
However, Porter was twenty-five miles away at the
sheriff's
office
in
Arkadelphia. Other city
staff were also unavailable,
so Skates said he went to
though he didn't have a key.
At City Hall, Skates met
City Councilman Johnny
McAnally, who is also a
fireman, standing outside
the building. Asking the
councilman for a key,
Skates said he intended to
go in and turn on the siren.
However, McAnally said
he no longer had a key to
the building.
Asked by the newspaper
about the matter, McAnally
confirmed he had been at
the scene and that he did
not have a key to the building. He referred questions
in the matter to Skates.
In April, Amity Mayor
Chester Clark, acting without council approval, had
the keys to all the locks in
City Hall changed, leaving
many
without
keys.
Because no keys could be
located, the siren was never
activated and many locals
did not know until the next
day that a tornado had been
in the area. Fortunately, the
tornado, which Skates said
was coming towards the
north end of the city, turned
another direction.
Later that evening, a second

A tornado that came
through the Amity area
Thursday has been officially rated as an EF2, according to Clark County
Emergency Manager Mikki
Hastings.
Hastings said that a tornado warning was issued for
the local area around
3:30pm Thursday. The
wall cloud was seen nearing the town and a funnel
cloud spawned by it was
photographed by weather
spotter Dusty Skates. The
cloud went around the city
and struck north of town on
Highway 182 across the
Caddo River.
She also stated that a
debris cloud was cited by
weather spotters, but noted
that the tornado itself was
never actually seen on the
ground by spotters.
Four residences were
damaged and the single
wide mobile home of Joey
and Brittany Singleton was
destroyed by the storm,
Hastings said. The trailer,
just off Highway 182, was
blown off its foundation
and evidence at the scene
revealed that it rolled over
“Whatever you do
in word or deed,
do all in the name
of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks
through Him to
God the Father.”

at least twice before resting
on its bottom a few feet
way from its original location. The four occupants
received minor cuts and
bruises.
According to a relative at
the scene, the family climbed
into the bathtub to ride out the
storm and were injured when
the toilet broke loose and was
hurled towards them, causing
cuts. They were treated and
released at a Hot Springs
hospital.
Across the road from the
mobile home, the Billy
Sorrells residence had some
of its underpinning damaged. Along the road leading to the home, several
hundred trees were downed
by the winds. Sorrells and
others were out the next
day with heavy equipment
and chainsaws cleaning the
debris left by the storm.
Further down the
Highway, several years of a
chain link fence was laid
over and several trees were
uprooted. Across the road, a
barn lost its roof and the front
was caved in from the winds.
Amity Police Chief Dean
Porter said that the city's tornado sirens were activated again
that evening around 7:30pm
following another tornado
warning. He said that Pike
County officials had spotted
rotation in the clouds above
Glenwood and a storm spotter
along the Caddo River north of
Amity had spotted a tornado
and ordered the siren turned on.
Other areas experienced
massive flooding, Hastings
said. In Scott County, the
sheriff and game warden
were among those lost in a
flood that destroyed a house
and killed its two female occupants late Thursday. The sheriff was found the next day and
the game warden was found
on Sunday.
Hastings said that a crew
from Clark County's search
and rescue team was set to
deploy Monday to the Waldron
area to assist in the recovery
effort, but were not needed after
the last of the victims was
located Sunday.
Two officers leave police department;

Police
Department criminal investigators have left their positions, according to Chief of
Police Al Harris.
Harris confirmed that
Criminal Investigators Roy
Bethell and Pete Dixon
have both left the employ
of the APD. While rumors
have stated the officers
were fired, the chief stated
that is not true.
“They were not fired,” he
said. “One resigned and the
other retired.”
Harris stated the Dixon,
who has been with the
criminal investigation division since June 2010, has

retired as of last week.
Bethell, who joined the
CID in Ị ovember 1998,
submitted his resignation
shortly before noon on
Monday.
Refusing to elaborate on
the issue, the chief said the
officers “parted company
due to some unprofessional
conduct.” He did state,
however, that no investigation will be forthcoming
and declined to be more
specific. Both men will
still testify in active court
cases that they investigated
for the department.
The chief did state that the
behavior occurred on duty
for Dixon and “mostly off
work” in Bethell’s case.
In their place, Harris said
Sgt.
Jason
“Shorty”
Jackson has been elevated
to CID. The chief said he
has an officer in mind for
the second position, but
stated he will wait to
release that name.
In Dixon’s case, he said
the long-time officer “has
been a fair to middling
wrestling
coach”
at
Bismarck High School and
has been refereeing tournaments lately.
“I think he’s going to do
some more work in that
area,” he stated, adding he
was not sure of Bethell’s
future plans.
The chief stated that he
plans on announcing some
new police officers in the
coming days.

Charges dismissed against Malvern
police officer arrested in arkadephia
By Joe May
ediTor
An Arkadelphia native
who is currently working as
a Malvern police officer
saw charges against him
dropped in Clark County
District Court Wednesday.
Robert Corey Taylor, 25,
of Malvern, spent 72 hours
in the felony wing of the
Clark County Jail after
being arrested in what his
attorney, Bob Sanders of
Arkadelphia, called “a starcrossed deal.”
Taylor’s trouble began on
April 15 when his ex-wife’s
boyfriend would not allow
him to pick up their child.
He called 911 to request
assistance from an officer
in the matter. Sanders provided the newspaper with a
transcript of the call.
Meanwhile, Taylor’s ex, a
former Clark County
Sheriff’s Office dispatcher,
called authorities and made
what Sanders believes is a
false report alleging that
Taylor was going to cause
some sort of problem at
their daughter’s school,
Perritt
Primary
in
Arkadelphia.
Taylor pulled up at the
school and walked in to
pick up their daughter,
walking by the office to the
playground, all while
speaking to a 911 dispatcher on the telephone. Along
the way, he was stopped by
the principal, who spoke
with him.
At the time of the incident,
the electricity had gone off
in Arkadelphia and fifteen
minutes had elapsed since
the Boston Marathon
bombing had occurred,
Sanders said.
“It was a weird deal.
Everyone was on heightened alert,” the attorney
said.
As Taylor spoke with the
principal, APD Officer Joey
Burroughs entered the
school and ordered Taylor
on the floor at gunpoint.
He was then arrested for
criminal trespass. When a
search of his vehicle turned
up his MPD service
weapon, he was then
charged with carrying a
weapon on school property,
a felony.
Sanders was able to get
the felony charges dismissed by citing a federal
law allowing officers to
carry their weapon anywhere. However, the criminal
trespass
charge
remained, as did an additional charge of hindering
governmental operations.
“I don’t know where those
charges
came
from,”
Sanders said, noting that
the principal was in court to
testify that Taylor was not
trespassing on school property, but was only attempting to pick up his child.
While Sanders said he
understands the initial mixup that resulted in
Burroughs pulling a gun on
his client, what he does not
understand is what happened next.
“It just all went awry in
the parking lot,” he said. “It
was handled pretty sloppy.”

The June edition of
the magazine, Military
Officer,
states,
“The
mournful bugle call known
as Taps has been a part of
military ceremonies since
the Civil War. In December
2012, Congress designated
the 24-note melody as the
Ị ational Song of Military
Remembrance. According
to the text of the original
house bill, taps was created
in July 1862 by Union
General Daniel Butterfield
and bugler Oliver Wilcox
Ị orton
at
Berkeley
Plantation, VA, following
the Seven Days' Battles as a
way to signal the end of
daily military activities.
'Taps has become the
signature, solemn musical
farewell for members of the
uniformed services and veterans who have faithfully
served the United States
during times of war and
peace,' the original bill
states. 'Over its almost 150
years of use, Taps has been
woven into the historical
fabric of the United
States.'”

Summertime plans
I have high hopes of
going AWOL from July 19
until July 25, using July 26
as one of two Fridays I
skip publishing my digital
magazine for the year.
It is set up on a 50-week
basis, with a mid-year
break and one during the
Christmas holidays at the
end. It is a ploy for sanity I
put in there when creating
the weekly digital news
source about 13 months ago
now.
On this Absence Without
Leave (AWOL) expedition,
I think I may have my wife
talked into going back to
Sara Sota, Florida as long
as we come back through
Ị ew Orleans. The current
plan is to go to Memphis
via Highway 40, then
Ị ashville. Then I hope to
get on Highway 65 South
and go stay in Montgomery,
Alabama. Yes, I may even
look up the grave of Hank
Williams. I have grown to
love country music since
moving south in 1982,
nearly as much as I do classic rock.
Sure, its all so awful,
according to certain evangelists. I say, which is only
right for me probably, that a
life without a little fun,
music and dancing is awful.
But that is just me...
This is a summertime
plans column. Once we
spend the night in
Montgomery and meander
around until I get back on
Highway 65. I will take it
down to Highway 10, hang
a left and search for
Highway 75. Once on it, I
will go south to Sara Sota,
where I hope to get another
motel and settle in a couple
of days.
Being a man of meager
means, I will probably get a
thrifty motel near my old
hometown of Arcadia,
which is about 38 miles
inland from Sara Sota. I
would imagine it would be
cheaper. Whenever we
reach 50 percent spent of
the vacation money, we will
head home via Ị ew
Orleans, where we might
spend the night, unless we
feel we can't afford it. Then
we will catch Highway 55
Ị orth
to
Jackson,
Mississippi onto Memphis,
Tennessee.
I could probably make it
home without a map from
Memphis. So that is the
plan folks. But more important that the route is the
idea of having fun. Don't
get me wrong. I love living
in a small town in the south,
even with all the challenges
Gurdon presents. For some
writers, like Just John,
money does not come easy.
So to have a half-way
decent web magazine up
and running, which has
been creating a financial
atmosphere where we have
not been late on a mortgage
payment for 14 months, I
am very grateful.
But once in awhile, being
a former traveler of 45
states and two European
countries, it becomes time
to get on with it and go see
how folks in other areas are
doing. I love to travel. This
year, because of a God that
seems to bless me getting
up and going to bed, I have
a 2012 Versa Ị issan with
19,000 miles on it. The
thing gets about 35 miles to
the gallon of gasoline and I
John
Nelson
Columnist
believe it will serve
Michelle and I well on our
journey.
It has cold air and I keep
the oil changed regularly.
So far, since December, my
work car has done great. I
sell advertising in five
counties and I do it as
quickly every week as my
old self will get around.
Sometimes that is so discouraging because this old
pack mule can't get around
at 54 like he did at 34. Still
as the late George Jones
used to say (he made it to
81 I believe), "I am really
in pretty good shape considering all I have been
through."
I choose Sara Sota as my
vacation
destination
because I still love Turtle
Beach, which is located
there. The last time we
were in Southern Florida
was seven years ago, before
my first grandson was born.
My daughter Kelley had
found herself in Ị aples and
asked us to come get her
and give her a ride home.
We did so and took a routine break at the same time.
I discovered Turtle Beach
had become pretty populated with what we always
called "Snowbird houses"
in the years since I lived in
the land of "This is
Ị owhere." I made that state
home in 1979 and 1980.
Arcadia was actually home
then, as Gurdon is now.
iN gurdoN
Gurdon is getting ready for
the summer reading program at Cabe Library. I
wish my oldest grandson
lived closer so I could get
him involved, but I am
grateful Josh is taking a
renewed interest in reading.
His Mom, Aunt and Uncle tell
me he would appreciate a book
about lizards and such that he
finds in his yard. Oh to be 6
years old again...
But if you are 6 in Gurdon,
you can go down and sign up
for the six-week summer reading program. The sign-up starts
this week and you can join
throughout the month of June.
Meeting day will be Thursday
this year, with the program
starting on Thursday, June 13.
I understand there will be a
downtown Farmer's Market
starting here this coming week.
And our new restaurant, Sweet
Mama's, is to have a grand
opening/ribbon cutting on
Friday, June 7. In Gurdon, as
elsewhere, it is time for water
parks, Magic Springs and
swimming where you can. Be
careful out there this summer
folks. This is one journalist who
hates writing stories about
drownings. Remember, if you
need me between July 19 and
July 25, I will be AWOL. Or at
least that is the current plan.
As I have said many times,
plans change so often we might
as well smile about them. But it
sure does feel good to make
positive plans. Are they really a
joke? Sometimes. There is an
old saying that if you want God
to laugh just tell him your
plans.
Here is hoping you have a
great week folks and that the
plans that mean the most to you
come true. This is Just John,
still hanging out at Gurdon in
the summer of 2013.
Never too old to learn redux
Things I didn’t know until
lately: That a colt is male, a
filly is female and a foal is
genderless. That an elevator is not a cubicle, but a
car. That many “experts”
say not to begin a sentence
with a gerund.
Oh, I learn new stuff every
day—if not from people,
from the newspaper. Did
you know a car is the worst
place to be in during a tornado? And Ernest Dumas’
Arkansas Times column
told me this bit: Carbon
molecules stay in the
atmosphere for 50-200
years.
Do you know what Silver
Gray Dorkings, Jersey
Black
Giants,
Buff
Orpingtons and Silver
Laced Wyandottes are? If I
added some others, you’d
know: Barred Plymouth
Rocks,
Bantams
and
Brown Leghorns. Yep,

“The sweep of time” in

DeSoto
crossed
the
Mississippi River into what
is now Arkansas. Tracy

Added in 1963 (I was a
young mother of little boys;
who had time to even read
the paper??), the ZIP

speed up mail handling and
delivery. I presume it has
done that since post office
people seem to need the zip
code before deciding the
cost of a package.

Puzzles sometimes teach
us new things: For
instance, LOEW began
MGM. Who Loew? I wondered and Googled it.
In 1924, Marcus Loew, an
“entertainment entrepreneur,” who owned Loew’s
Theaters chain of 150 theaters,
bought
Metro
Pictures (founded in 1916),
Pictures
Goldwyn
Corporation (founded in
1917)and Louis B. Mayer
Pictures in 1924. Louis B.
Mayer became vice-president of Loew’s and head of
studio
operations
in
California.
I think my dad helped
build some Loew theaters
in Little Rock during the
1940s, but try as I might, I
couldn’t find any supporting data from the Arkansas
Online Encyclopedia of
History and Culture.
Another puzzle clue that I
didn’t know at the time-but found out later was this:
“___ talks …” Twice in one
day I saw the answer: TED
–
Technology,
Entertainment, Design, a
global set of conferences
owned by … Sapling
Foundation. TED talks.
Hmm.

“Red” Adair was the man
who invented the art, and
most all the procedures, of
fighting and putting out oil
well and drilling rig fires. A
world famous legendary
figure in his own time, and
the automatic “go to man”
when a disastrous rig or
well fire happened.
Most all of us have seen
the movies and read the stories of Red’s developments
accomplishments.
and
Practically everyone of us
who hear of, or think of,
Red Adair immediately picture John Wayne because of
the outstanding job he did
in depicting Red in the
movie. One out of a thousand wouldn’t recognize
Red if he met him face to
face. I almost didn’t and I
knew who I was looking for
at the time. Had he not had
on those bright red coveralls, with matching fire
proof nonmetallic hard hat,
I would have just passed
him off as some fellow that
had been terribly burned
sometime in the past.
That assumption would
have been correct. That is,
the getting burned part. Ị ot
having seen the man
before, you wouldn’t
believe anyone could be
that badly burned and still
be walking around. Had
those burns been all at the
same time, rather than
spread over many years,
with countless recoveries,
that would have been true
of Red Adair too. He had
more skin grafts than most
people have skin.
The year was about 196263 and there was a big
move on to discover an
“elephant” gas field in eastern Kentucky. Several
smaller shallow fields with
unusually high formation
pressure had been found,
but the gas was believed to
be migratory and coming
from a much deeper formation. Texaco was one of
several majors involved in
the search and had contracted a large, deep hole,
drilling rig to explore down
to 10,000 feet in the Laurel
County area, which was
south and east of London,
Kentucky.
At that time this was
remote county, and travel
was confined to narrow,
crooked, hilly black top
roads. Lodging facilities
was scarce and far between
but somehow the Country
Music Association, Oil and
Gas Association, and
Kentucky tourism had
induced Holiday Inn to
build a nice new facility at
London. It quickly became
the oil and gas meeting
place for a wide area and
was sold out the day it
opened. However, Texaco
kept about six or so rooms
rented and available at all
times, and they were constantly occupied by staff
and management, or their
service and supply personnel.
The Texaco superintendent and foremen were living at Henderson, KY, were
good friends of mine, and I
had their business. Dale
Wiggins, the foreman had
gone over to London, KY
to complete some shallow
wells near Corbin, KY. He
called me to inform me that
the big deep test rig had a
blow out after hitting one of

own story. But I think
we’d agree it was a simpler upbringing. In both
our growing up, cussing
was not allowed. Stew
was raised in the
bootheel of Missouri and
his family were farmers.
Grandpa was the patriarch, stern but compassionate.
Grandma’s
pride was her bountiful
garden. She would not
allow a tractor or RotoTiller in her garden for
fear of oil or gas contamination of the soil.
Grandpa kept a fullgrown Poland China
boar to breed his sows.
Arkansas throughout the
generations!
He (the boar) weighted
twice as much as
Grandpa, who himself
was 6’5”, 250 lbs! One
night the boar got into
the garden and tore it
up! Grandma commanded, in no uncertain
terms, that the boar must
go!
It was traditional to
castrate boars at least 2
days before slaughter so
the meat wouldn’t be
rank. A plan ensued.
Grandpa instructed 16
year-old Stew to rope
the boar’s hind feet and
hold ‘em till he got a
hog snare around his
nose.
Stew walked into the
pigpen with his catch
rope and snagged one of
the boar’s hind legs. Six
hundred pounds of pork
exploded like a Funny
Car at a drag race! Stew

the ground like a skipping rock! When the
boar made the first corner, Stew, in a skewed
twist, somehow bounced
off the boards, flipping
him onto his back, where
then
caromed
they
through the hog wallow,
throwing a wall of water
that blocked out the sun
in Cape Girardeau forty
miles away, for a full
three minutes! Hanging
on for life, Stew plowed
a furrow in the pit pen

dragging a ham hock

biscuits and gravy!
It was ugly to watch when
Stew flopped to a stop
empty-handed. Grandpa
walked over to his favorite
grandchild. He politely
waited for his Uncle and
Grandma to quit laughing,
which took several minutes. Stew stood, wearing
his porcupine stucco-covered shirt and jeans. He
looked like a chocolate
bunny.
As in all our upbringing
there was always a lesson
to be learned.
“Better catch him again,
boy,” said Grandpa not
unkindly.
“If you want that

Stew got.
“We don’t use that kind of
language on this farm,”
Grandpa said. “Here, let me
help you up.”

Church ministers in Spokane were

Father’s Day always falls on the
third Sunday in June. The first
one was celebrated in 1910 in
Spokane,Wash.
This special day
was started by
Sonora Dodd in
honor of her dad.
Her mother died
when Sonora was
a child, so her dad
raised her and her
six brothers.
There already
Sonora Dodd
was a special day
1882-1978
to honor mothers.
Mrs. Dodd told local pastors there
should be one for fathers, too. She
wanted it to be on June 6, her father’s
birthday.

thank the Amity fire fighters who attempted to get
into the city hall to turn on
the tornado siren! I do
appreciate your attempt! I
understand that your hands
were tied because of the
locks being changed and
there only being a select
few having keys to the
building.
When the secnd round of
tornados came through
Amity, our entire town was
in danger and the residents
couldn't receive the proper
warning because no one
was able to turn the tornado
siren on until after the tornado had actually passed
over!
I am so thankful to God
thank there wasn't any lives
lost last Thursday because I
can guarantee you this
much there would someone
that would be answering for
this!
I am so glad that God had
his hand on our little town
that night!
A very disappointed and
concerned business person!

2/3 cup flaked coconut
1 box refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box
8 (4 1/2x1 1/4-inch) individual foil tart pans
2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1 jar (10 oz) lemon curd (1 cup)
1/2 cup fresh raspberries, if desired
Heat oven to 350°F. On ungreased cookie sheet, spread
coconut evenly. Bake 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally,
until light golden brown. Increase oven temperature to
450°F.
Remove pie crusts from pouches; unroll crusts on work
surface. With rolling pin, roll each crust lightly to form 12inch round. Using upside-down foil tart pan as guide, cut
four 5-inch rounds from each crust.
Reserve 2 tablespoons toasted coconut for topping.
Sprinkle each crust round with about 1 tablespoon of the
remaining coconut and 1/4 teaspoon sugar; roll in lightly
with rolling pin. Press each round, coconut side up, in bottom and up side of tart pan. Prick bottoms and sides with
fork. Place pans on large cookie sheet.
Bake at 450°F for 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are light
golden brown. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
In large bowl, beat whipping cream with electric mixer
on high speed until stiff peaks form. Place 2 cups of the
whipped cream in medium bowl; fold in lemon curd until
well combined. Spoon into cooled baked tart shells. Top
each with dollop of remaining whipped cream. Garnish
with fresh raspberries and reserved coconut. To serve, gently slide tarts out of pans; place on individual dessert
plates. Store in refrigerator.

Two men in blue blazers,
together with the camera
man, awaited. Red walked
up and handed the first man
a clipboard with what
turned out to be a list of
prepared questions. The
man looked it over and stated “Mr. Adair, we prefer to
ask our own questions if
you don’t mind.” “Oh, I
don’t mind” Red replied
“but these are the ones I’ll
answer” as he nodded
toward the board. I had to
laugh inside because I had
heard that Red was an
uncompromising egotist
and wasn’t about to change.
The assembled Texaco and
drilling company dignitaries laughed heartily as it
was quickly established
who was in charge and
intended to put on the show.
The TV man recognized
that if he wanted an interview it would be “Reds
way or no way”. The tension was high in the minds
of the television people and
the whole area was in jeopardy of being burned but
“The world famous Red
Adair” was only interested
in telling the viewers all
about the art and procedures of exactly how he
was going to approach the
task, and that’s what he did.
He had set up his easel,
had his presentation perfectly arranged and it was
immediately evident that
this was not the first time
he had done this.
I had joined Dale in the
Texaco group and he had
whispered that I would ride
out to the rig site with him
in one of the Texaco vans.
All of Red’s equipment
trucks had not yet arrived
so he was in no particular
hurry to get out there.
Flip charts were the
favorite method to portray a
message in those days, and
“Red” was well trained in
just how to “show and tell”
the story. Dale and I had a
perfect view of this pictures
and I think I enjoyed that
more than if it had been the
real thing. That part I’ll
never know for just about
the time “Red” was nearing
his final chart, a guy comes
running up and exulted
“Red, Red.” Red just
shushed him and waved
him away and continued his
presentation. Finishing his
last chart and bidding adieu
to the TV audience, “Red”
turned and queried, “Ị ow,
what is it?” “The fire just
went out,” his man reported.
“Dang nab it” Red grumbled as he jerked off his
hard hat and sailed it across
the parking lot. “I’ve told you
a thousand times to never bother me when I’m in the middle
of an interview.”
When the laughing subsided, it was evident that
the TV camera had been
on through the entire
episode. It was also clear that
“Red” could care less that the
fire was out because he got paid
the same for fighting as he did
for marching, and right then
he had been doing his best
steps.
When the crew, Red, and
the audience cleared out,
Have a good week!
Dale whispered to me,
“Get me that hard hat”. I
could see it under the far
side of a car, so I just eased
over there and fished it out,
and then made my way to
Dale’s pickup. The last time I
was in Texaco’s Henderson,
Kentucky office it was still
there on display, in their plaque
and trophy case.
I never learned whether
the interview was live or
taped, and still don’t know,
but if it was taped that
would be a much more interesting thing to watch than
today’s programs, considering
the strongest language heard
was, “Dang nab it!” and the fact
that Red still had on the rest of
his apparel. You just don’t get
that quality of entertainment from the “Wanna
be’s” of the modern
world.

In court Wednesday,
Sanders said the charges
against Taylor were noll
prossed by Judge Randy
Hill.
His client does not plan to
sue or at least as Sanders
said, “I won’t represent him
in that,” but he did note,
“He’s pretty incensed about
it.”
During the time he has
been fighting the charges,
Taylor has been on desk
duty at the MPD, Sanders
said, noting that he can now
return to patroling again.
“This whole thing was just
blown out of proportion.
All Corey Taylor wanted to
do was to pick up his kids,”
Sanders said.

potential tornado was spotted near the city around
7:30pm. In this instance,
Porter was back in town
and turned on the siren as
soon as Skates radioed him.
The idea that lives could
have been lost in the first
storm because the mayor
changed the locks and did
not provide keys to fireman
and others angers Skates,
himself a former councilman
who served a term on the council several years ago.
“When I was on the council, we all had keys to the
city hall,” he said, adding
that he has asked the mayor
for a key to the building
several times over the past
two years so that he would
be able to set off the severe
weather siren when the
building was not open.
“I always get pushed
back,” Skates said. “He'd
tell me he'd see what he
could do and that's all he'd
ever tell me.”
Currently, Skates said
there is only one key to the
fire department office, a situation that creates hardships among firemen who
need to access the room.
“Used to be, all the officers had keys to the office.
But now we don't,” he said,
adding that access to the
fire trucks is available
because the firemen use an
access code to get into the
fire department.
Fireman have requested keys
to the office, Skates said.
“The mayor gave [Fire
Chief] B.J. [Johns] a box of
keys,” he said. “But none
of them worked. Why give
us a box of keys when they
don't even work?”
Johns confirmed that he
was given a box of keys,
which he said only fit the back
door of the fire department.
“I didn't feel the need to
hand out fifteen keys to the
back door when everyone
had access through the
front door with the keypad,” he explained. “I've
got some keys now, I've just got
to hand them out and we'll see
what they go to.”
Skates said he feels that
the tornado siren, which is
located in the secretaries'
office, needs to be either
moved to the fire department or modified to allow
officials to activate it
remotely, something Johns
said that he is working on.
“It's being addressed,”
Johns stated. “I've got
someone coming to look at
the siren to tell us what our
options are. We're going to
see if we can either fix it
where the sheriff's office
can turn it on or we can turn
it on with our radios.”
“The siren's been tested
and it works,” Skates said.
“We test it nearly every
Wednesday. But there's no
access to it now since the locks
have been changed unless
there's a city worker there.”
Skates said the siren does
not just serve the city limits, but
rather the entire area.
“A couple of years ago, we
were out on Sugarloaf Road
surveying the damage from
a tornado and another storm
came through and they
turned the siren on and we
could hear it all the way out
there,” he said.
Skates said he does not
feel like the mayor has the
city's right interests at
heart.
“We need to be thinking
about the safety of our
townspeople, not sidewalks
and parks,” he said,
explaining that the fire
department is in need of a
new brush truck, but
because of the yet-to-be
completed restroom and
concession stand at the city
park, the fire department
cannot get a grant.
The city received a
$15,000 grant to aid in constructing the facility in
2011; however, Clark has
thus far spent $58,613.91
on the building, which still
lacks a concrete handicap
ramp. Because the project
has not been finished after

nearly two years, Skates
said the fire department
cannot apply for a grant to
purchase a brush truck.
Skates said the department
has opted to repair the city's
current brush truck, which
is not in good shape
because “it's just a matter of
time when things will start
getting dry around here”
and fires will begin erupting. He added that the
nearby
Alpine
Fire
Department has a running
brush truck that often rolls
to assist the Amity department.
That something has got to
be done before a true catastrophe strikes is obvious to
Skates.
“A bunch of people are
supposed to be at the city
council meeting Tuesday
night,” he said. “I've been trying to get people to show up.
The townspeople need to hear
what's going on instead of just
reading about it in the newspaper. They need to come to
the meetings.”
Skates said he is hopeful
the city can solve the problems created by the mayor.
“The council needs to
stand behind your police
and fire department and the
water department,” he said.
“Without them, you're not
going to have any city. We
need to worry about the
safety of this town before we
buy anything else. Right now,
the fire and police departments
are hurting because of lack
of funds.”
“I don't agree with what
the city has been spending
the money on,” he continued. “If I was mayor, I
would make sure the
police, fire and water
departments had what they
needed before I would
worry what's going on in
the city.”
The city council meets
Tuesday night at 7:00pm in
