ScripTure May 10, 2012 at the mansion... Suit filed against sheriff Joe May We don’t figure we’ll ever be asked to give any commencement addresses in our lifetime, so we decided we’d just give our little speech to the Class of 2012 right here. After all, we figure we’ve got more readers than can be packed into most our locally gyms anyhow. or at least that’s our fantasy and we’d like to keep it that way. Seniors, i’ll make this brief. that’s not words most folks are used to hearing from me, whether in this space or in the pulpit, but there’s not a lot i can offer to our graduates. Like we were told 20 years ago, it’s a tough world you’re going out into--that is, if you’re honorable enough to actually work. it’s an easy world, though, if you want to just be a carefree bum at the taxpayers’’ expense. (And you’d be required to vote democrat as well.) But we trust you’re smarter than that. We hope and trust you can speak a foreign language. doubtless you’ll need it for when America falls and you are forced to flee or stay and live under the new government. doom and gloom? Yeah, but that’s how it is these days. What can we say? it’s an obamanation. But you ask, “What happened to the brave new world we were supposed to inherit?” Well, it’s like that “hope and change” stuff that left us without hope and counting our pocket change. it’s a new world, all right. Hope you speak Chinese.

Ever since dewey told Emily he was actually in the manure business and not just enamored of the stuff itself, and ever since Emily admitted to dewey that she liked him as a man and not as a subject for a doctoral dissertation on rural nutty people, there has been a difference in the community. the sun seems to shine a little more golden on us all, the cattle in the pastures seem cleaner and happier, the kids seem to catch more fish down in Lewis Creek, and the Farmer Brothers coffee at the Mule Barn truck stop has a certain Starbuckian finish to it. dewey and Emily are in love and we’re in love with the whole idea. Marvin Pincus, he of the Fly tying Love Center, immediately took credit for yet another happy romance when he learned that the stonefly nymph on a number six that he’d tied for dewey to help his love life actually pinned the two together after one of dewey’s “accidents.” Marvin’s only fear was his Home country Slim Randles Down Home Columnist fly tying might become so popular and effective that there would be no more lonely people left and he’d have to go back to tying flies just to catch fish. the guys at the Mule Barn raised their cups in a porcelain salute as the newly-inlove couple drove past in dewey’s pickup. dewey and Emily grinned and waved back. We noticed dewey’s sign, Environmental Enrichment Services, was proudly back on the truck’s doors again. “do you suppose,” doc asked us, “dewey will get Emily her own shovel for her birthday?” We nodded. “that’d be ol’ dewey all right,” said Steve. in the truck, dewey was one of those two-headed drivers because Miss Emily had laid her head on his shoulder as he drove. “Honey?” said Emily. “do you realize the two of us are driving around the valley aimlessly in a manure truck?” “Yes.” “And i think it’s great, dewey.” The honor scholars i went thursday to the Gurdon High School honors program. As always, i was very happy for the children who received some recognition. in life, most of us are not so ego-oriented that we would admit it is nice to be recognized, but we sure do love the recognition... i love to see them smile. i have tried my best to be a media public servant since 1980. that is a few full moons back for those of you who might have noticed that Sunday, May 6 was supposed to be our May moon this year. As i get older, it comes to my attention what is important in life. one of the most important things is to encourage others to become all they can become in whatever profession they are called to do. in some cases, they are called to be good fathers who work hard at a factory and show up at their children's ball games to encourage them. others are called to be farmers, and need to teach their children the love of the land; how to hunt, how to fish, how to enjoy the woods or how to enjoy planting and harvesting a crop in the field. i know a little bit about this one, having been raised by a farm couple. Mother's day is coming up. i tend to think of it as already gone because i wrote a big article about it for my magazine that is already on the web. But i did not mention my adopted mother, Grandma Marvel Ị elson. Grandma was there in the trenches for this man. She showed me how to cook an egg, how to make a bed, encouraged me when i mowed the yard right and gave me tutoring when i needed a good mind with patience to help me with a class. She was called to be a farm wife and mother, both News Item: Obama “comes out” for homosexual “marriage.” John Nelson Columnist to me and my biolo What i am trying to say is whether it is a laborer, a farmer, a writer, a doctor, or even a lawyer, like Perry Mason or Ben Matlock portray on old folks television, people need to be encouraged to be what they are. if you are dreaming and focusing on being a rocket scientist and your grades are below average, you might want to re-evaluate. But if you are struggling to make a telephone bill instead of writing that book you know you would love to do, hang in there and maybe the finances will straighten out so you can have the time to make your vision, using your talents, come true. i tell children to shoot for their dreams, not the dreams of someone else. Ị ow if i were dreaming of inventing a time machine so i could go back to 1934 and find out if my grandfather, John Hans Ị elson, really was the body-double for legendary bank robber John dillinger, then you could justifiably tell me my dream might need reevaluating. My point, keep your dreams real and your whims separated from your reality. i am married to one of the sweetest girls i ever knew. At one time, i had a whim that John would need at least a dozen wives to take care of all of his kingly needs. Yeah right, boy am i glad i did not try to achieve that whim! But then again, i had a whim that i would have a publication that would last decades and develop into something useful to future generations. i may be achieving that one through the online world... time will tell. Still thinking about voting democratic? a fantasy on the first anniversary of Mom’s death “Come in here, Mom,” i said, as she swept into the house where she’d lived for 64 years. She glided to a stop. Looking around the living room, her lips thinned, eyes clouded, brow furrowed. Upturned palms panned this area of the family home––now mine. i half expected her to say, as she had during the last days, ‘What are you doing here?’ i pushed a swivel chair under her so she could view the entire room. “We sold your sofa. Ị one of your heirs needed it. this one’s mine, remember?” Mom cast one arm toward her piano that was still where she left it. Mine stood beside it. “Carolyn doesn’t have room for it in her house.” Slowly, she surveyed the rest of the room, shaking her head. “Ị o one needed the cabinet stereo, so i gave it to my friend dot. Your hospice nurse wanted the macramé plant hanger from that corner. doesn’t your pink recliner look good there?” Mom lifted her hand toward the sunroom-cum-office. She held my arm, rose from the chair and moved toward the bright area. At the double doorframe, i turned a rocking chair around and eased her down. She shivered; i shawled her shoulders with one of her throws. She studied the room. Shades of Home by Pat Laster Ị othing stood where it previously did. the only familiar piece was Granddad Ị oah’s handmade library table. She spotted her African violets. For years, the stunted blue-flowered plants merely existed in plastic yellow pots set on spiraling ledges of a wrought-iron stand. i’d repotted them into ceramic containers and sunk two more into blue pottery jardinières. With regular watering and plant food, the violets had thrived; the blooms were profuse. Mom motioned to one and held out her hands. i took it down and let her hold it on her lap. For the first time, she smiled. We continued the slow journey through the house. in the dining room, she finally relaxed. Her massive china cabinet still stood in its place. She didn’t seem to notice that the oak buffet was on another wall, and that MY china hutch was in that space. As if she had just come in with the newspaper, she sat down at the table—as cluttered now as it was then, albeit with different items— reached for the unfinished Poet’s Corner ViCaRioUS liViNG other than our jobs we have become a mass of spectators. We spend much, if not most, of our lives watching. if we can’t see it in person, it’s on the boobtube.

After lunch, where we watched the birds in the birdbath and beautyberry bush, and before viewing other changes, Mom agreed to a nap. the bathroom wall heater still warmed. A flea-market picture frame held a picture of her and HEr mother. She seemed pleased. After she lay down, i placed a pillow under her knees, then added blankets until she motioned to stop. Later, we walked into the bedroom where dad endured his final illness. it now served as my sitting room. the hide-a-bed sofa was the only thing she recognized. Her face twisted; she shuddered and turned away. She led me to the room beyond the kitchen which was HEr sitting room. Wh en s h e n o ticed her houseplants, her eyes s p ar k led f or an in s tan t, b ut f aded lik e a f ir ework. Suddenly, Mom tugged at my arm, and then skimmed unaided across the hardwood to the front door. She scrabbled at the hardware like a pet wanting out. i opened it, and before i could kiss her, she was gone. Bob Palmer, editor Excluding the news, and that word is arguable, 99% is entertainment.

Two parties are needed When Congressman ron Paul (rtX) spoke at Mississippi State University last year, he drew an overflowing auditorium of enthusiastic students on a night filled with thunderstorms and bad weather. As a college lecturer familiar with students’ attendance habits, i had anticipated a much smaller crowd. Many of his lines drew wild applause and even standing ovations. He stated plainly there’s only one political party in Washington. He’s right. that’s why tEA Party victories in the 2010 elections so mesmerized political pundits and confounded progressive ideologues. “Everybody knows we need representatives in Washington who know how to compromise!” doesn’t “everybody” know that? Ị ot hardly. that’s been the problem for way too long. republicans and democrats have worked together to create this economic mess we’re in. President obama and other progressives continue to paint conservatives as extremists and fanatical ideologues, and our economic woes as “Bush’s fault.” First of all, that’s giving George W. way too much credit or blame as the case may be. Secondly, what’s so extreme or fanatical about wanting a balanced budget, accountability from those in power, a constitutionally limited federal government, and a fair tax system? As far as i can tell President obama has never told his audiences the top 1-percent of federal taxpayers already pay around 27.5percent of all federal income tax revenue, or the top 10-percent pay nearly 60-percent of all income tax revenue. Sounds more than fair to me especially since i’m not even close to those tax brackets! Who among us really wants to make our children and grandchildren pay what’s due today? if you are receiving more money from the government than you’re paying back, you are bankrupting your own descendants as well as the next generation of Americans. Contrary to what progressive politicians have promised, the government does not have a magic pot of money. Future taxpayers will have to pay for the money we’re overspending today. Will you vote for politicians who promise to give you money our grandchildren will have to pay back with interest? do you want your grandchildren to pay off your credit card balances too? Same thing. only those of us working or receiving earned retirement income are paying taxes, and fewer of us are working than were working 30 years ago. We don’t need the government giving more money to those who are not working. We need more people working. We need leaders in Washington who understand we need more workers and fewer people receiving government money while not working. As Congressman Paul said, there is only one political party in Washington, and that has to change if we are going to save the next few generations of Americans from having to pay for our dues. rather than voting for one party or the other, vote for representatives who will stop spending trilliondollar deficits and who will truly help small business owners and entrepreneurs create new jobs. We need more workers and jobs, which will raise tax revenue; we need to cut the size of government to spend less; and we need leaders who will give us more than campaign speeches and bumper sticker slogans. Americans have seen way more than our fair share of campaign speeches the past four years. We need someone to lead us all out of this mess.

Engineers use them to build bridges, romance writers use them to manufacture chaos, Pythagoras used it to create his theorem, and the shortstop uses it to make a double play! triangles strengthen structures. they take three straight lines going nowhere and form a bond that can withstand great pressure. i see this cohesive combination in another triangle: women-horse-child. it is particularly evident when the child has down’s syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis or any disability which other restricts their possibilities. in many equine therapeutic riding programs that i’ve visited, women are the predominant hands-on helpers in the arena. to be successful, a mutual trust must be established. it is no secret that most young kids are more at ease with a mother figure. Children innately sense the mother’s compassion from her voice, her touch and her protective stance. A woman introduces the child to the horse. this allows the child to give the horse the benefit of the doubt, because the woman trusts the horse and the child trusts the woman. When the child is set up on the horse’s back, it is still in the mother’s arms, ready to be rescued if need be. through a long progression of walks around the arena the child’s faith increases in the horse. the physical mother-child contact begins to loosen. it proceeds from holding one hand, to a hand on the back, to a hand on the saddle, to walking beside leading, and then one day, cheering from the sidelines. the child’s trust eventually expands to include the horse. the triangle is complete. We have connected woman-tochild-to-horse and back towoman. this third leg was there before the child was born or was even a thought. Woman-to-horse was always there.

Check it out for yourself. You will see small islands of woman-horsechild. Concentrate on one of those triangles. try and drown out the chatter, the buckets, and the racket going on around you. then imagine the child on the horse is yours.

Warrior dash is a national competitive event that has been in existence since 2009, Swan said, noting that this is the first event to be held in Arkansas. Sixty-five events are held around the US each year, she stated. the event is owned and managed by red Frog Events. in addition to the races, Swan said bands will be playing and a live dJ will be on hand during the day. Various food vendors will be set up and Warrior dashrelated gear and other items can be purchased, she said. Spectators can cheer their favorite runner on during the race, Swan said, adding that there will be viewing in several areas, including in front of the mud pit, one of the obstacles participants must endure on the local course. While Swan estimated that about 8-9,000 people would show up Saturday in Amity, thomasson said he feels like the number will be more like 10-12,000. thomason noted that Warrior dash is the first of such events to be held at timber Lodge. on June 23, the lodge will host a weightboarding competition. thomasson told the newspaper that he is excited about the event. “i’m excited,” he said as he watched workers construct obstacles along the course. “i think this is going to be good for the whole area.” Getting in Shape for Warrior Dash Joe May photos (Left) Seen from the chapel, the ranch has taken on the appearance of a small city as tents spring up around the property. on a clear day, the Glenwood water tower is visible as are areas near Caddo Gap.

Broadway in Glenwood Current Treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammation of the body’s joints. Although the exact cause is unknown, it is thought that a trigger causes the immune system to attack the protective layer surrounding the joints. Substances called cytokines are involved in the inflammation process due to the abnormality of the immune system. Interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha are inflammatory cytokines involved in the progression of rheumatoid arthritis. Joint pain, swelling, and stiffness gradually progress over time. Finger, wrist, elbow, knee, and toe joints are often involved. Joint stiffness upon getting out of bed is common. Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), such as methotrexate (Rheumatrex), sulfasalazine (Azulfidine), and leflunomide (Arava), may be prescribed to slow down the progression of joint damage. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitors work to decrease inflammation. They include adalimumab (Humira), etanercept (Enbrel), and golimumab (Simponi). These medications may be prescribed in combination with methotrexate. Abatacept (Orencia) is a drug prescribed for moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. It blocks the activation of Tcells, and may be prescribed after unsuccessful treatment with methotrexate or TNF-alpha inhibitors.

The comfort of presence By BaRRy NeWToN FortHriGHt MAGAZiỊ E rightfully so, we denounce Judas for betraying Jesus. How could Judas be so callously crass, so profane, so small-minded as to place a financial value on his allegiance to Jesus? Judas, however, was not the only one. during the cool early morning hours in the high priest’s courtyard when it became clear that Jesus was in serious trouble, Peter was willing to emphatically proclaim, “i know not the man!” Why did he do this? Presumably, to safe guard his own skin and ensure his own comfort. do we find it easier to denounce Judas’actions than Peter’s? Both men, at least in one instance, valued something more than their allegiance to Christ. if we find it a little harder to criticize Peter, perhaps this is because we too feel the tug of placing value upon how people treat us. So, what about us? do we value anything more than our allegiance to Christ? if faced with a situation where either we could preserve a comfortable status quo or we could obey Christ and stand up for him, would we sell out Jesus? Jesus made it clear. to be a disciple involves the way of the cross, that is, to die to self-interests in order to live for him because we place him above all other competing values in our lives (Matthew 10:37-39; 16:24-26). Given our fears and desires to be accepted, this can be a hard message to hear. Good news! Peter was not cast off because of this one-time failure. Upon hearing that Jesus was risen, Peter joined the remaining ten apostles and traveled to Galilee where Jesus commissioned them to go and make disciples of all nations. the following chapters of Peter’s life reveals an apostle proclaim Christ even to hostile adversaries. Peter learned to live the way of the cross. We can too! Let’s determine that if we have stumbled by valuing something more than Christ, that we will also be like Peter. We too will stand back up and press forward to serve our Lord. 870-356-3312 your ad Here! only $12 a week! Call 870-342-5007 your ad Here! only $12 a week!

Voan said the company has stated it will likely spend $1 million in reopening and restocking the local hospital. they plan on staffing the emergency room and using 15 patient beds and will have a staff of about 55-60 with a potential payroll of $900,000 for the first year. the company plans on reopening the clinics in Glenwood and Murfreesboro as well, she added. Already, the company has engaged the services of a physician locating business to find a doctor to work the hospital, Voan said. Baker stated that the hospital's license is currently owned by Ị ew directions. the county cannot renew it, he said. the judge said he has given information on Ị ew directions to Kare Partners and is hopeful that the two companies can reach a settlement that will give ownership of the license to Kare Partners and at the same time absolve the county of any potential debt that would Blackmon recognized by governor Ethan Blackmon was recognized by Governor and Mrs. Beebe as a governor’s schoalrship winner.

He suggested caddo antiques Diamond p.12 allowing the company to operate the facility and if they are successful for two ye a r s , t h e c o u n t y would give them the d eed . J u s tice J oh n n y P ly ler wondered aloud how the company could p r o f i t a b l y o p e r a t e the hospital “when two others couldn't do it.” He also expressed doubt that a full-time emergency room would be beneficial, noting that that segment of the hospital often loses money. Voan stated that the emergency room would be a “loss leader” and noted that it is necessary to save lives. “We can stabilize people there and send them on to another facility,” she said. Justice Paul Baker said he would be in favor of the proposal “only if it doesn't cost the county one dime.” As the discussion on how to allow the new company to take over the facility continued, Paul Baker noted that such talk was useless. “We're not in a rush here. First, we need to see if they can get the license extended. We need to check with our lawyer and make sure that the county is not involved in this in any form or fashion.” His father, don Baker agreed. “i don't want the hospital on my agenda any longer than i have to have it,” he remarked. the court will revisit the issue at their regular meeting in two weeks. in other business, Jeff Guerin addressed the court about the construction of three tennis courts on the city park property near the hospital, which is owned by the county. A former tennis pro, Guerin stated that he is in the process of building a public access clay surface court on the former baseball field using crushed stone as a surface.

A prayer For America righteous God, we submit to your rule the nations of the world. this day we ask and pray for the protection of our brave men and women who have volunteered for military service, both here at home and around the world. Lord, give them compassion for even those whom they confront as enemies. Keep them from hate and wanton destruction or from scorekeeping with human lives. We realize our Father, that for a season our men and women in uniform must be a people at war, but keep them safe from the hate that hardens into cruelty, the destruction that hardens into wantonness and an attitude that hardens into a lust for vengeance. though we recognize that for a season we must be a people of war keep our soldiers, sailors, and airmen, eager for peace and as eager for a cessation of hostilities as they are for military victory. Give them courage to do their duty, to encourage one another in the fulfillment of their objectives, but most of all, our Father, never let hard military duty and sacrifice separate them from their loyalty to our Savior, Jesus Christ, who taught us to be peacemakers, to bind our efforts toward bending our swords into plowshares for the peace and dignity of all mankind.

At its peak, Graysonia had one of the largest mills in the South and a thriving community. today, few visible remainders of the town exist. in 1902, William Grayson and Ị elson McLeod became principal stockholders in Arkadelphia Lumber Company. the company moved to a site near the Antoine river in 1907 because there were not enough resources in the area to continue at their former location. the new town was named Graysonia, in honor of the company’s president. the mill at Graysonia became one of the South’s largest due to the high lumber demands brought on by World War i. the mill especially prospered between 1915 and 1920. More than 500 employees worked to produce 150,000 board feet each day. this was substantially more than other mills, such as the one at Mauldin (Montgomery County), which produced 25,000 board feet each day at top speed. At its founding, 350 people lived in the town. Population more than doubled during the town’s peak. Graysonia was a company-owned town but was different from many other company-owned towns in Arkansas because it incorporated and elected its own government officials. in addition to a large commissary, the town boasted luxuries such as a confectionary, a movie theatre, three hotels, a school, and a church. it had a water system, as well as electric services. in 1924, the Bemis family bought into the company, and it was renamed the ozan-Grayson Lumber Company. the Bemis family operated other area mills, and this merger marked the beginning of five successful years of lumber production. Graysonia’s decline was due in large part to lumber companies’ “cut and move” mentality, which means that they took timber from the land and moved to another area with more resources. However, this was not the only reason for the town’s abandonment. in 1929, the Great depression swept the country. the mill at Graysonia held on for a time, but by 1931, the burden of the depression and a lack of timber became too great. the planer mill lasted for a while by cutting stored lumber, and management considered operating several small mills to continue production. However, the financial situation worsened, and the mill closed. Cinnabar, an ore from which mercury is extracted, was discovered in southwest Arkansas in 1930. Mill workers were encouraged to stay in Graysonia and work for the Arkansas Quicksilver Company. However, cinnabar mining also began to dwindle, and people started moving away from the town. Workers found jobs in other mills or mines, and the town became deserted. the ozan-Grayson directors reported to stockholders that the land was worthless, not worth the tax burden to keep it. the Bemises decided to sell 10,000 acres of the land to the McMillan family, traders in timberlands from Arkadelphia. With the remaining 50,000 acres, they built a mill in delight in 1937, using some of the equipment from the Graysonia mill. on Ị ovember 19, 1950, the Graysonia post office closed down and routed its mail through Alpine. in that same year, the U.S. Census listed the population of Graysonia to be zero. This program was made possible in part by a grant from the Department of Arkansas Heritage, funded by your 1/8 cent conservation tax, Amendment 75.

"2?2,8 May 10, 2012 the Standard Page 17 Council rehires fired worker, appoints new councilman mendation, Councilmen dora Lee Bean and robbie Hancock moved to hire Smith. the motion carried unanimously. the council then took the mayor's recommendation to appoint Jason Mitchell to fill the unexpired term of Councilman Chris Fagan, who died last month following an extended illness. He was then sworn in to the position by Clark. Clark then told the council that tim Hill has approached the city about the possibility of either purchasing the old city landfill, which sits on 17 acres outside the corporate limits, or the contents of the property. the mayor noted that Hill is interested in disinterring the scrap metal buried on the property and selling it, something he has done in other places. discussion then followed as to whether the city should sell the property outright or allow Hill to harvest the metal at the suggested rate of 10% for the city. it was agreed that Clark would seek more information on the proposal as well as the city's potential liability in the event of environmental issues. City recorder/treasurer Heather Bankhead told the council that beginning with this month, the city will start paying the fire department back for a $9,000 expense that occurred when that department added several firemen to the state fire and police pension fund and backdated their times, which then accrued fines and penalties because the workers had not been added in a timely Bankhead manner. expressed concern that there may be other firemen who have not been added. “i'm just concerned that we're going to get another $1,500 bill,” she said. Bean expressed the hope that no further workers would be added with backdated start times. Councilman Johnny McAnally, himself a fireman, explained that the workers who were added, “fell through the cracks, but they had to be added. i'm not sure why they were not added earlier.” McAnally suggested that Fire Chief BJ Johns should be requested to attend the next meeting to explain why the workers were added late. Porter stated that he felt the workers could have been added in another way that would not have cost the city so much money. Bankhead noted that Johns, upon finding out the penalties, attempted to remove the firemen, but the pension fund administrators refused. Ị o action was taken, but it was agreed that Johns should appear at the next meeting to explain the issue. in other business, the council: *Agreed at the motion of McAnally and Hancock to donate outdated communications equipment from the police department to the Pike County Search and rescue Unit. *Agreed to look for a new water department truck. *Agreed at the motion of McAnally and Hancock to add $2,700 to the police department budget for more part-time officers. *Heard Clark say he is talking to the Bank of the ozarks and the Bank of delight about a possible line of credit for the city's $140,000 matching funds for the street enhancement project. *discussed revamping the city's nuisance ordinance to include derelict buildings and to allow for a court appearance for those in violation of the law. SUiT the vehicle in January 2010, it was discovered the at the county did not have a clear title to the vehicle. it also was learned that the vehicle had not been registered with the state since 2006-meaning that Ledbetter had not paid sales tax or penalties as provided by state law. the county had applied for a lost title and special license plate to exempt the vehicle from tax, davis said. in the press release, davis noted the fact that a special prosecutor has been appointed to investigate Ledbetter in the case. that prosecutor, Jack McQuary, has told one of the parties in the suit that the investigation is still ongoing. “the plaintiffs in the suit filed today wish to see the law attach to Sheriff Ledbetter just as it attaches to each and every citizen of Hot Spring County. it is not understandable how an individual sworn to uphold his duties as a sheriff can remain in that seat upon a finding that he is in noncompliance with state law,” davis stated. “Sheriff Ledbetter not only failed to perform his duties, but has blatantly broken the law. the very laws he and his office issue tickets and arrests, as well as assist the prosecutor in the prosecution of individuals, has seemingly been set aside for Sheriff Ledbetter. the citizen-taxpayer Plaintiffs in the lawsuit being filed today simply want justice and for the county to be repaid any and all debt owed to it. they are proud to be from Hot Spring County and are under a great distress that a man elected to serve such a position of trust and authority would start his tenure as sheriff by breaking the law. Furthermore, they want to send a message that Hot Spring County is not going to tolerate such behavior of its elected officials and it will come to light should those elected officials, such as Ledbetter, break the law,” she continued. “the parties hope and pray for further investigation, action by the Attorney General’s office and/or some affirmative action by the Special Prosecutor as they do not want to see such an act ‘swept under the rug.’” in the filing, davis quotes Ledbetter as saying he “did not know he was doing anything wrong.” She then wrote in the suit, “...ignorance of the law is not a defense afforded to the common citizen of Hot Spring County and thus the Sheriff, the one placed in a position to enforce the very laws at issue herein, should be held accountable for his actions and treated and handled by the judicial system just as any other common citizen would.” in the filing, davis asked that the court mandate Ledbetter “to reimburse the State of Arkansas and/or Hot Spring County in a reasonable and adequate amount of money that will pay for the title to become clear and should reimburse any and all monies he profited as a result of this illegal transaction, including but not limited to interest, mileage, costs and all relief associated with said vehicle transaction.” davis further noted that Ledbetter “breached his fiduciary duty to the citizens of Hot Spring County by driving and operating a vehicle without proper tags or license while simultaneously running to become the sheriff [and] failing to pay the appropriate tax on the purchased vehicle.” the suit also asks that Ledbetter as an individual be responsible for the citizens’ attorney fees. Continued From Page 1 A the dealer also paid the interest on the loan to the bank. davis stated that the sheriff-elect “drove said vehicle for six months, apparently without making a payment, then had the county pay for those six months of the vehicle plus the interest.” the auditing committee found that the transactions did not comply with ethics regulations, which states that an elected official “shall not be interested in any county transaction for which he will benefit” and “an officer may not use his office to advance his individual personal economic interest.” When the county under Burroughs went to trade Y DA ! TO VE CH A IT D S SW N By Joe May Editor Meeting in regular session, the Amity City Council rehired a street department employee and filled a vacancy on the council. Following a half-hour execMayor utive session, Chester Clark told those assembled that the council had decided to fill two vacancies within the city. don Smith, who was terminated from his position in the street department after Police Chief dean Porter arrested him for drugs, was rehired to his position with the city. He was also severed from the job another time by Mayor Chester Clark, but was rehired in that instance as well. Following Clark's recom- congratulations to all of our area high school graduates!
