a war on
Christians?
We’re hearing a lot about
war being declared on particular groups as of late. Both
major political parties are
accusing the other of waging
a war on women. Just last
week your humble scribe
was accused of “waging a little war” on the pro- alcohol
forces in Clark County a few
years back. (durn straight i
did and i’ll do it again just as
soon as the opportunity arises.)
if you’ve read very far in
the Ị ew testament, you
know that those who follow
Christ will face adversity in
this life. Paul told timothy
that “...all who seek to live
godly will be persecuted.”
Jesus Himself warned His
followers not to marvel at the
hatred of the world toward
Christians. And the Apostle
John warned the disciples to
be aware of the coming persecution, both in the book
that bears his name in the
revelation to John.
in other words, it’s safe to
say that all who profess to
follow Christ are aware of
the concept that we will face
opposition for our beliefs
and actions. the Apostle
Peter advised the saints to be
cautious, warning them that
“your adversary the devil
prowls about like a roaring
lion, seeking whom he can
devour.” (i Peter 5:8)
Scripture also tells us that at
times, the devil can appear to
be like “an angel of light,”
meaning that Christians can
be fooled into sin that is masquerading as “common sense,”

Man jailed after setting
fire to apartment
By Joe May
Editor
Arson is suspected in the
case of fire tuesday evening
at ross Apartments in
Arkadelphia.
According to Arkadelphia
Fire Chief ricky Arnold, his
department was summoned
to the apartment complex
around 11:15 in response to a
fire in an upstairs apartment.
Upon arrival, Arnold said
Apartment 43 and the boardwalk outside of it was
engulfed in flames. At one
point, he noted that flames
were coming through the
roof of the building.
Arkadelphia Police
department investigator roy
Bethell told the newspaper
that tyree Balch of
Arkadelphia, has been arrested in connection with the
blaze.
He is the exboyfriend of the apartment's
resident, the officer stated.
Bethell said that the victim
broke off the relationship
with Balch on Sunday “and
he didn't take it too well.”
Balch has a prior conviction
for torching the residence of
another ex-girlfriend a few

Fired Bismarck employee
receives settlement
By Joe May
Editor
the Arkansas Court of
Appeals has upheld a lower
court’s decision to award
damages to a Bismarck
counselor who was wrongfully discharged from his
position in 2009.
in May of 2011, a circuit
judge overturned the dismissal of Paul Sims from his
position as counselor at
Bismarck High School.
Sims’s contract was not
renewed by the school board
on the recommendation of
then-Superintendent david
Hopkins. the nonrenewal
was based on an allegation
that he had failed to assure
that all students had enough
credits to graduate.
Both
Sims and high school principal Jarrod Bray were terminated for relying on the
2008-09 handbook, which
contained erroneous information regarding the number
of math credits needed to
graduate.

two men in custody in
Clark County are accused of
being the masterminds in a
multi-state theft ring, says
Sheriff Jason Watson.
Watson told The Standard
that his office arrested Ernest
Wayne Hortman, 54 and
Vernon russell Hewitt, 53,
both of Montgomery County
last week after officials in
that county found stolen
property that was traced back
to a burglary in Alpine. the
items were located during a
routine call, the sheriff stated.
“this is the biggest thieving
ring i've ever encountered,”
Watson said, expressing
amazement at the number of
items from burglaries in
Glenwood, Alpine and even
in Louisiana that are being
located on a daily basis.
From information gleaned
from
interviews
with
Hortman and Hewitt, it
appears that the two were the
masterminds behind burglaries and thefts that go back at
Glenwood home destroyed in
suspicious blaze Friday
By Joe May
Editor
A Glenwood residence was
destroyed Friday morning in
what
authorities
have
deemed a suspicious blaze.
According to Glenwood
Fire Chief Gary Wright, a
passerby on Highway 70
noticed a two-story log home
near
the
Montgomery
County line was on fire
around 4:28 am.
the man stopped and took
note of the small fire blazing
outside the home and after
making sure no one was in
the home, called 911. His
call did not go through and
he attempted another call,
but found himself speaking
with the 911 operator in
Clark County, who then
transferred him to Pike

least
three
years in Clark County,
Watson said. in addition, the
burglary ring was also operating in Louisiana and several suspects have been arrested in that state, the sheriff
said, adding that he was
unsure of the number of
arrests to date.
the case began unraveling
for the pair when they
attempted
to
use
a
debit/credit card at First
Ị ational Bank in Glenwood
that had been stolen during
one of the Alpine burglaries.
While they were not successful in making a withdrawal
from the card, the video from
the incident was used to
identify the suspects, Watson
said.
the sheer volume of stolen
property has overwhelmed
officials, Watson said.
“i'm sitting here looking at
some of the property here on
my desk that i'm trying to
identify,” he commented,
noting that the pair tended to
operate “up and down
Highway 8 in Clark and Pike
Counties. they stole just
about anything they could
lay their hands on that they
wanted. they broke into
houses, storage buildings
and stolen stuff from yards.”
in one instance, Watson
confirmed there was interaction between one of the suspects and a victim. While
the sheriff did not elaborate
on the details, a friend of the
victim told the newspaper
that one of the suspects
walked up to the elderly resident's bedside and inquired
about her well-being.
the pair is also responsible
for the burglary of a flea
market in Glenwood. in that
case, they were captured on
video, Watson noted.
the fact that the suspects
have been operating in the
area for so long has caused

County so he could report
the blaze.
during this time, Wright
said, the fire began taking off
and by the time his department arrived on scene fifteen
minutes later, the house was
fully engulfed.
Wright, noting that it was
one of the hottest fires his
department had ever worked,
said the extreme heat from
the blaze could be keenly felt
at 200 feet. Firemen were
finally able to make a connection with a fire hydrant in
the rear of the house and
began getting water on the
inferno.
By the time the Bonnerdale
Fire department arrived on
the scene a few minutes later,
Wright said the firemen were
simply attempting to keep
the blaze from spreading
elsewhere.
“the house was gone. it
went up fast,” he said. “We
just started working on containing it.”
the house, which belonged
to Janelle Fant, was vacant,
Wright said, noting that the
renters had moved out a
week earlier.
the witness told officials
that the blaze was going outside the home on the right
side, Wright stated. the
insurance company is investigating the fire as a possible
arson, he noted.
the chief said the electricity was on in the home, but
“nothing was plugged in, so
we don’t think it was electrical.”

Mahatma Gandhi said
“the greatness of a nation
and its moral progress can be
judged by the way its animals are treated.” there are
too many people who don’t
bother to have dogs and cats
sterilized. Many litters are
unwanted and young animals are left by the side of
the roadways by uncaring
individuals. Some do not
provide adequate warmth in
winter, or enough shade or
water in summer. All pets
should be vaccinated against
rabies, particularly with the
present finding of rabies in
skunks and bats in the surrounding areas.

Favorite parts of a job
down at the sale barn Saturday,
the think tank had coagulated
there with coffees to go to celebrate spring. doc and dud had
their dogs with them, while Bert
and dewey and Steve went stag.
dud tried to start a conversation,
but the loudspeaker soon drove
them outside, where they arrayed
themselves on dropped tailgates
and waited to hear what dud had
in mind.
“i thought about it a lot,” dud
said, “and i wondered what the
favorite part of my job was, and
wondered if you fellas ever gave
that any thought, too.”
they nodded. Yes, by mutual
consent a worthy subject.
“With me,” dud continued, “it
wasn’t so much my job as my
hobby. Writing that book. i’m
claiming it as the best part of my
job, anyway.”
the assembled were still waiting to read “Murder in the Soggy
Bottoms,” as it had yet to see
print, and was really a work in
progress.
“of course i’m retired now,”
said Bert, “but when i was running the pawn shop, my favorite
part of the job happened when a
customer found something in
there he really needed and ended
up paying much less for it than
he thought he’d have to.”
“And you made more on it than

you thought you would, too,”
said doc. Bert grinned and nodded.
“Yep. that was good too.
dewey?”
“the best part of the fertilizer
business,” dewey said, “is seeing the difference it makes in the
flower gardens around town.
Maybe it’s just my imagination,
but i kinda like to take a little
credit for a prettier town.”
“You deserve it, dewey,” doc
said kindly. “Well, with me it’s a
little different. i have doctoring
skills, of course, and it’s good
when i can help someone, but
these days the most satisfying
part of my job is to check someone out thoroughly and find
there’s absolutely nothing wrong
with them. Ị ow that’s special.”
they looked at the tall cowboy,
Steve.
“digging postholes,” he said.
“What? that’s your favorite?”
“Sure,” and Steve grinned.
“that’s the only job a cowboy
has where he can start at the top
and work down.”

Getting through the gate
My grandfather once taught
me a valuable lesson using a
farm gate next to our barn many
years ago.
We had just finished hooking up his plowing disk to the old
Ford tractor in our barnyard back
in indiana when he got off the
thing and told my then 12-yearold self it was my turn to drive.
He had shown me how to work
through the clutch and the tractor
gears a few days before and
found that i could maneuver his
beast up and down corn rows
pretty good. So now then, to see
if he could get a few hours work
out of the boy. Actually, i am not
sure he cared about that just then.
instead, he was just looking at
the gate to the field. He went
over and opened it up and just
stood looking at the gap he had
created to his crop.
"Boy, there are many ways
to get through a gate. When your
dad was your age now, i had
him go through it and it was the
blamdest thing i ever seen! How
John W. ever got through there
with the angle and speed he
chose is beyond my comprehension," he said to me. "Ị ow it is
your turn to get through that gate
and there is the tractor, disk and
all. Go to it. if you tear it up, you
just do. But you better not!"
i knew tearing up Grandpa's
more or less homemade farm
equipment would not be a good
idea. With more than a little fear
in my heart, and with knees
slightly wobbling, i took a
ragged breath and mounted that
old tractor. i did the clutch thing
and pulled it into first gear, tried
to straighten the rig up a bit, even
played with backing it up some
and trying again. then i figured
it was about as good as it was
going to get.
i put it down in first and
then second, charging toward
that hole and praying i did not
strip the disk on either side. the
machinery bound through the
barn lot with enough speed that i
was going to get there and
through but no more. i was not
racing, but i was not going slow
enough to get stuck in the middle
of the hole either. i figured if i
could get the darn thing through
the gate, even if i did break a disk
or two, i could somehow fix
them up with bailing wire, old

metal wrappings etc. and still
plow that day.
in short, i was anticipating
getting the tractor and disks to
the work site. i was just not sure
i could do it without losing part
of the rig. So away i went!
Grandpa never said a word
about how i lined up the rig or
anything else. He just let be what
was going to be.
Surprisingly, i aimed,
prayed extensively and surged
toward the gate hole. i got to the
other side with no problem. i did
not tear the ends off of the disks
or anything else. i motioned for
Grandpa to come on over to
where i had stopped the tractor. i
shut it off, as the thing was as
loud as most subway stations. i
dismounted and faced the old
man. He smiled down at me and
patted me on the head.
"You did good Johnny," he
said. "You did just fine. Each
man gets through his gate in life
differently. there is no one way
to do it. But you found your way.
You found out what works for
you. that's what i call success."
Grandpa's words came
back to me strongly the other
day when i was introducing
customers to my new online
product. When a person's
whole world gets shaken up,
like my family has been through
since last fall with one financially crippling deal after another,
you wonder what the answer is.
As i was wondering the
other day, i thought about that
farm gate. i thought about how i felt
when Grandpa turned me loose to do
it my own way. i thought about
how my way had gotten me into
some deep trouble from time to
time in life, but it seemed like i
never tired of trying it. then i
started taking God and his ways
more seriously. i made an honest
effort to please the All Mighty in
my dealings on earth. i found
more resistance to that than to
any of my own crooked gate
plans.
i suppose that is the way it
its. After all, Jesus Christ was a
public servant and they crucified
him.
if i can’t have a steel bridge, i’ll take
an old telephone pole
i have always been interested in the steel bridge on
Boone road in southwest
Bryant. the reason: my
Grandmother Couch, so
family lore goes, was walking a footbridge across that
part of the Hurricane river
when she fell, an accident
that crippled her for life. My
research doesn’t tell me
when the steel bridge across
that body of water was
built—nor the one we traveled over as a family of eight
farther up in the county that
we knew as Steel Bridge or
Ị orth Fork (Saline river.)
that was our “swimming
hole.”
Several years ago, both
bridges were cut away, hoisted to nearby roadsides and
replaced with nondescript
spans. How nice, i thought,
one of those bridges would
look on my south property
line. the bridge official i
called knew nothing. Ị ow, i
realize it would be too large
and besides, the scrap metal
thieves would have it gone in
no time.
So when First Electric
changed out the poles in our
neighborhood last week and
came to the one my electric
lines were attached to, i
asked if i could have the old
one. the man seemed
delighted and laid it where i
directed. What to do with it

now? oh, i’ll think about
that tomorrow.
this week’s poem, in honor
of Ị ational Poetry Month, is
“When April does Her
Laundry” by the late
Arkansas poet, Geneva i.
Crook. i found it in the 19551956 Poets’ roundtable of
Arkansas’s Annual Brochure
of Poetry, which later
became the Anthology. An
interesting note: “Printed for
the Seventeenth Year/ By
the/ Morrilton Headlight/
Morrilton, Arkansas.”
i found this issue in a flea
market in southern Missouri
several years ago. the price
was $5.00, a whopping sum
for used books, but there
were two copies. i’d never
seen such in all my years as a
PrA member. So they had to
be mine. on the flyleaf, Mrs.
Crook had written, “to my
friend, Mrs. Harris.”
Here is the poem, which
won PrA’s annual Light
Verse contest in 1955.

“She spreads out fresh new

“She brightens wings of

Constitution
vs. big gov’t
My students’ clamoring about
“the Hunger Games” persuaded
me to read the series i wrote about
last week. You may remember
some parallels i saw between the
book series and goings on in
Washington.
our centralized, all-powerful federal government has been created
over a long period of time by both
democrats and republicans, as
well as armies of bureaucrats who
have made up all kinds of rules and
regulations which are stifling not
only small businesses in America
but are also trampling on our individual freedoms and rights.
the issue in this year’s election is
whether we vote for constitutional
restraint over Washington or for
bigger more intrusive federal government.
the mantra in Washington for far
too long has been, “there ought to
be a law.” that sentence has
become sacred script for all those
fighting to keep their positions in
our nation’s capital. Washington
believes it can fix any problem, no
matter how large or small, widespread or localized, by passing new
laws or instituting new rules and
regulations. Ị o, tHEY CAỊ ’t!
When centralized governments
grow bigger and stronger, they
become more oppressive and less
efficient. in fact, the bigger they
grow the more problems they create to such an extent the problems
far outweigh any benefits they
might have provided.
Suzanne Collins, author of the
Hunger Games, illustrates this well
when she shows how oppressive
the Capitol – the central, all-powerful government – really is. At the
end of the series when the rebels
takeover the Capitol, rebel leaders
form their own centralized, allpowerful government to teach
inhabitants of the Capitol a lesson.
in the end, the rebel leaders were
fighting not as much for freedom as
for power and control. if that doesn’t sound like Washington, i don’t
know what does!
Katniss, heroine of the Hunger
Games, was fighting for freedom
for everyone to live and let live. Her
dismay at how things played out at
the end is wrapped up in her
thoughts: “i no longer feel any allegiance to these monsters called
human beings, despise being one
myself. i think that Peeta (one of the
heroes and Katniss’ close friend)
was onto something about us
destroying one another and letting
some decent species take over.
Because something is significantly
wrong with a creature that sacrifices its children’s lives to settle its
differences.”
Power corrupts. Absolute power
corrupts absolutely. Washington
has become all about power and
nothing about service, unlike what
our founders intended when they
wrote the Constitution and pledged
their lives and sacred honor to protect it. the Constitution lays a
foundation for a very limited
federal government with more
power going to the states and
individuals. in fact, the Bill of
rights speaks explicitly about
individuals’ rights.
Washington, particularly the
obama administration, has
made us slaves to a huge debt.
By the end of this year, Mr.
obama will have added $6
trillion to our national debt –
that’s nearly $20,000 of debt for
every American! We can’t afford
four more years of this kind of irresponsibility!
What did you get for the
$20,000 Washington borrowed
on your behalf?
We need to elect representatives who will stop this nonsense, stop spending us into
unsustainable debt, and stop
forcing unfathomable laws,
rules, and regulations down our
throats.

workers can be a resource or
an obstacle to making
progress. “Helping relationships” are those that help
you to make positive
changes. Some examples
include a friend that walks

with you, a spouse that
encourages healthy meals,
and a co-worker that commiserates with you about
credit card debt.
it goes without saying that
helpers who practice positive
behaviors themselves provide the best helping relationships. A good helper will
tell you whether you’re
walking your talk” or not
and give you critical feedback, if needed.
Even pets can provide a
helping relationship, Studies
have found that people who
exercise with a dog are more
likely to take weight off and
keep it off. Pets make loyal
walking partners (rain or
shine), make exercise fun
and take the focus off the
person they’re walking with.
increasing numbers of
employers are also helping
their workers with their
health and finances. About
40%, for example, offer
health-management benefits,
such as weight loss and
smoking cessation programs.
others use money as a motivator to improve health by
paying their workers to lose
retirement savings accounts,
savings bond purchase plans,
credit unions, financial seminars, and one-to-one financial counseling. Concerned
that workers aren’t saving

enough for retirement, some
employers are instituting
automatic enrollment in
401(k) plans where new
hires are automatically
enrolled unless they opt out
of the plan. in some of these
plans, works sign forms
agreeing to save a higher
percentage of their pay in the
future as their pay rises.
other employers are providing workers with personalized retirement savings projections to educate them on
how much they need to save
Another resource for positive behavior change is a formal or informal support
group. Compared to those
who know you, these helpers
often have greater objectivity. in addition, they’ve often
had similar “issues” and can
share their experiences and
the resources that they found
valuable. Professional advisors, such as dietitians,
financial planners, and telephone helpline counselors
can also provide valuable
assistance.

Patrick, a coin collector, examines one
of his coins with a magnifying glass.
The 1933 Double Eagle $20 gold coin is
the most expensive coin ever sold. Almost
a half-million were minted that year, but
nearly all were melted down and never
released to the public. However, several
were stolen from the mint and disappeared.
This coin turned up and was auctioned
in 2002 for more than $7.5 million — the
equivalent of 379,501 Double Eagles!
A proof coin is one that is specially made
for collectors. Most coins are struck, or
stamped, one time on each side. Proof coins
are struck more than once and use metal
that has been highly polished. Modern proofs
are easy to recognize. Here, the circulation
coin is on the left, and the proof on the right.

When is a quarter worth more than
25 cents? Or a penny more than 1
cent? For coin collectors, a single coin
can be worth many times its original
value. And as time goes by, some coins
become much more valuable.
To learn more about the popular
hobby of coin collecting, The Mini
Page spoke with a young collector and
a coin dealer. Whether exploring the
history of a nation’s currency, hunting
for a particular coin or learning about
the value of money, coin collecting
has much to offer enthusiasts*
(en-THOO-see-uhsts) of all ages.
In the United States, coin money is
minted, or made, by the U.S. Mint,
which has been a part of the federal
government since 1792*. Before that,
each state made its own coins, and
buying things from other states could
get confusing.
The U.S. Mint makes
millions of coins each
year. The most common
coins are those we use
every day, including the

and dollar coins are also coin. It is a
made in large numbers. circulated coin.
These are said to be in circulation —
they are used by people to buy things.
The Mint also makes other coins,
including uncirculated and proof sets,
and coins for special occasions, such as
the Olympics.
Most U.S. coins are made in either
Denver or Philadelphia. On a coin, a
“D” or “P” shows where it was minted.
Most proof coins and some older coins
have an “S,” which shows that they
were minted in San Francisco.

Because some coins can be worth

Selling counterfeits is illegal. In
America, the U.S. Secret Service
(the same group that protects the

The Internet has made it possible
to buy coins and collecting supplies

“politeness” “politics” or
some other such politically
correct claptrap designed to
stifle Christian voices.
A political cartoon in the
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
caught
my
attention
Saturday. i’m a believer that
the local newspaper should
reflect the views of its readers unless said views are
repugnant to God. this cartoon was a bit of a shocker to
me. (And in this business, it
takes a lot to shock me anymore.)
the cartoon featured a
schoolteacher talking to her
class. Behind her was a
chalkboard with the words
“Evolution”
and
“Creationism” written on it.
the caption had the teacher
telling the class that one was
science and the other was
proof that some folks just
weren’t fully evolved yet.
in case the term throws you
off, creationism refers to the
fact that God created the universe in six days, just as
Genesis teaches. in other
words, the state newspaper
ran a cartoon deeply insulting of Christianity. A few
years back, this would have
been a major issue.
As the cartoon shows, our
world is rapidly changing.
Ị o longer can this be denied.
Changes that i never thought
i would see in my life time
are being accepted quietly by
people who have been cowed
into silence, fearful of being
attacked verbally or physically, scared of losing their
friends, family or jobs.
Given all of this, can it be
said that there is really a war
on Christianity? i’m not
talking about the daily war
that has been going on for
2,000 years now. i’m speaking of a concentrated effort
in the United States to undermine the influence of religion in our society.
it’s still easy to be a token
Christian in America. You
know the type. they warm
the church pews on Sunday
if there’s nothing else to do.
they may wear a cross
around their neck and profess Christ as their “personal
Savior.” they may send cute
little Facebook sayings out
about religion. But despite
their outward appearances,
those who wage war against
Christianity aren’t worried
about them because they’re
harmless. these types of
folks may bless their food,
but they’ll turn around and
curse at the first opportunity
given them. they’ll sing
along with their favorite
Contemporary
Christian
song, but they’d also belt out
a filthy tune if it was the next
thing to come on the radio.
they might speak of purity,
but they have no problem
sleeping around if they find
“the right person.” (Some of
these folks find about a
dozen “right persons” it
would seem.)
Among this crowd are some
of the very warriors against
Christianity. For example,
Hillary Clinton during her
failed 2008 presidential campaign, told listeners she
the Standard, April 19, 2012 Page 7

Continued From Page 1
knew how to leave her religion at home. these are the
people who try to tell us that
religion does not belong in
the public forum. that it is a
very “private” thing and
should not be “forced upon
others.” (Have these folks
ever
read
the
Ị ew
testament?)
We’ve raised up a generation that believes it to be
poor form to speak of religion in public. A generation
who has been taught that
only the most ignorant
among us make decisions
based on the Word of God.
A generation who would
rather hear profanity than a
Scripture from the Creator of
us all. in short, we’ve raised
up a generation of fools and
now they’re running government and Big Media.
if you find it odd that i’ve
said any of this, if you wonder if the newspaper is really
the place for such talk, then
you’ve fallen under their
influence. it’s easy to do.
i often draw strength from
the past. Ever since i was
twelve years old, i’ve been a
student of history. the old
ways fascinate me. i’m
drawn back into a better time
when
certainly
things
weren’t perfect, but being a
full-fledged Bible-thumping
Christian was not something
to be mocked, but rather
something to be immulated.
one of my favorite verses
in the old testament speaks
to this idea: “Stand by the
ways and see and ask for the
old paths, where the good
way is and walk therein and
you shall find rest for your
souls.” (Jer. 6:16)
if you’re an authentic
Bible-believer, if you believe
that God is real and that He
is interested in our lives
today and if you understand
that some things are just sinful regardless of how politically hot the issue might be,
it’s time for you to find your
voice and let it be heard in
America. Let your children
and grandchildren see that
what the preacher says on
Sunday is present in your life
the rest of the week.
don’t look around and see
which political party is
espousing the message
before you make your decision. don’t let others accuse
you of falling for republican
or democratic propaganda-just pick up the Ị ew
testament and start reading
and let it have its affect on
your life. Listen in church
and apply the principals you
hear to your daily living.
Pepper your speech with the
Word. So someone doesn’t
like it? too bad. Christians
have rights, too. it might
shock you to know we have
just as many rights as anyone
else. But we won’t if we
don’t start using them.
over the next week, think
on this. if you accept that
Jehovah God created us, then
you must realize that He and
He alone knows what is best
for our lives. to the devil
with the profane things of
this world.
Fight back
against the adversaries of
Christianity by living in a
manner worthy of the name
of Christ.

What to do About a Stye in the Eye
A stye is a raised red area that can cause pain and swelling in the area
of the eyelid. Specifically, a stye can result from an infection of an eyelash
follicle. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common causative bacteria.
Touching the eyes without washing the hands first can increase the risk.
Tearing and sensitivity to light may occur. The small blister filled with pus
will typically rupture within several days, which will resolve the associated signs and symptoms.
Although a stye typically improves within a week without treatment,
a warm compress may be applied to the area for 15 minutes at a time, four
times a day to alleviate symptoms. Eye makeup and contact lenses should
not be used until the stye is resolved. Measures for stye prevention
include hand washing prior to touching the eyes, removing eye makeup
before bedtime, and washing hands prior to handling contact lenses. An
antibiotic ointment may be prescribed if symptoms are more extensive,
such as chronic eyelid inflammation. Erythromycin (Eryc), a macrolide
antibiotic, and bacitracin (BACiiM) are antibiotic ointments that may be
prescribed when appropriate. Although uncommon, if cellulitis accompanies the stye, the antibiotics dicloxacillin (Dynapen), a penicillin antibiotic, or erythromycin (Eryc) may be prescribed.

love flowers, hate dirt
By CHRiSTiNe BeRGlUND
FoRTHRiGHT MaGaZiNe
“Observe Electrical Safety” • Your Energy Partner
Have you seen that viral video labeled “Hate
1140 Main Street in Arkadelphia
religion but Love Jesus?” there have numerous
870-246-6701
responses since early January, but i’d like to give
you
my gardening view on this philosophy.
• Memphis, TN 38174-0298
We
hear so much about people who want all the
T
benefits that Christ has to offer, but none of the
Alpine, Arkansas
responsibilities. My little garden patches out back
870-342-9227
are no different. i have given away countless bouquets to people who admire the flowers, but do not
want the work of growing them. Sometimes i give
live plants to these people, but they die from
neglect.
What happened?
What we are observing here is a wish for instant
gratification. this could be true in any hobby or
pastime. Gardening just happens to be the hobby
that i love, so please don’t take this personally if
you are one of the people that have ruthlessly murdered my babies….uh, accidentally neglected a
few plants until they died. Some people can, and
do, purchase fully grown and blooming plants and
full-size trees. there is nothing wrong with that, or
in buying pre-baked pies and cakes.
i really do avoid dirt. i keep my nails manicured
and clean, with fresh polish at least weekly. Since
cooking is another of my hobbies, i like to have
hands that look clean and that are clean. So i wear
garden gloves whenever possible. that’s not the
only reason. there are icky, disgusting bugs out
there in that dirt! i’m not touching worms! Eww!
Worms and grubs and slugs. oh, my!
do i hate dirt, really? i don’t want it on me, with
all its ickiness, but in the course of my gardening
lifetime i must have purchased tons of it, literally.
Ị ot only do i value dirt enough to spend money on
it, i value dirt ingredients.
Buck’s Country Store
• Arkadelphia
yer out!
one Valentine’s day i made all my garden club
friends jealous by bragging about my husband. He
had just gifted me with a load of manure. Ị ot figuratively, but a whole truckload of cow manure
brought by a dairy farmer. oh, joy!
if there’s one thind i love more than dirt, it’s dirt
enhancer! My plants loved it, too. My considerate
husband repeated the gift the next year. i hope i get
manure for my birthday instead of some silly old
jewelry.
the manure, along with worm castings, peat
moss, and other soil “ingredients” has been one of
the reasons i have had good success with the flowers that everyone enjoys. roses don’t grow hydroponically, as far as i know.
i’m glad to be the proud owner of a dozen pairs
of garden gloves while i’m working with the dirt,
but i really do appreciate my soil. the plants i love
and the soil i avoid are inseparable. Cutting the
flowers and bringing them in always cuts short
their life, although it affords visual pleasure for a
while.
Some people want to separate Christ, the Head,
from the church, which is his body (Ephesians
1:22-23). While our focus is on Christ, the church
is an essential part of Christ. Whether we want to
avoid the perceived frailties of those “other
Christians” is irrelevant. We cannot avoid our
brothers and sisters while belonging to God’s family.
it is said, “oh, how terrible our sins look when
someone else commits them.”
While we might say we “don’t like religion
because of the hypocrites,” we must look at ourselves and pray that no one else uses us as an
excuse to reject “religion.” We, the church, may be
but dirt; but we hold up Christ to you.

How does obamacare relate to arkansas?
After the U.S. Supreme
Court heard the legal briefs
concerning the Patient
Protection Affordable Health
Care Act, there has been
much discussion by the talking heads at numerous news
agencies, talk radio, as well
as the innuendo in about
every coffee shop across
America. the talk usually
centers on Constitutional
concerns and steering this
country towards bankruptcy.
there is still the ongoing
committee debates at the
State Capitol in Little rock
about whether to implement
a state run health care
exchange and i’ve attended
just about everyone of them,
the most recent being in the
Arkansas
Legislative
Council - PEEr subcommittee. For those of you who are
unfamiliar with these Health
Care Exchanges, i want to
share some information with
the readers about them.
the Affordable Care Act permits states to establish health
care insurance exchanges.
these exchanges will operate as new bureaucracies to
oversee the purchase of government-approved health
insurance. States electing to
create these exchanges must
comply with federal rules
that will dictate virtually all
aspects of the exchanges’
operations.
if a state chooses to establish
an exchange, it will bear the
full cost of running it. While
a number of people are urging states to immediately
create an exchange, the reasons are not based on what i
would call truthful declarations and i’ll illustrate these
myths vs. facts.
Myth: if a state does not
loy
Mauch
State Rep.
District 26
build an exchange, the federal government will build its
own and operate it here in
Arkansas.
Fact: Ị obody knows what
will happen if Arkansas
refuses to implement an
exchange.
Fact: While Congress supplied funding for the states to
set up health care exchanges,
though not to run them, it did
not provide the federal
department of Health and
Human Services with the
resources necessary to establish a federal exchange in
every state that refuses.
Myth: An exchange administered by a state will ensure
that the state has greater flexibility than if the federal government administers the
exchange.
Fact: Although the state
exchange would be run by
state officials, the state
would have no more freedom
or flexibility than under a
federally-imposed exchange.
Fact: Federal rules will dictate virtually all aspects of
the exchange’s operation.
Myth: the Supreme Court
case only concerns the individual mandate and the
exchanges will move forward regardless of the
Court’s ruling.
Fact: the Supreme Court is
deciding several issues concerning the Affordable Care
Act, including whether to
strike down the entire law.
Fact: if the Court strikes
down the entirety of the law,
the money and effort
expended to create the
exchange will have been
wasted.
Fact: Even if the Court
upholds the law, or part of
the law, legal challenges to
the exchange provisions and
their related federal rules are
already being prepared.
the aforementioned facts are
one the reasons i voted
against implementing a state
run health care exchange in
Arkansas during the General
Assembly session of 2011. it
would have been totally
against my responsibility to
the taxpayers to spend millions of our tax dollars to set
this exchange up, only to
have the law declared unconstitutional and thus wasted a
lot of money that could have
been put to better use such as
education, roads, or other
various needs of the state.

adding that at the present

years ago, Bethell noted,
adding that in the previous
case, the fire was put out
before it could spread.
there were no injuries in
tuesday's fire, but Bethell
stated that the victim's ninemonth old baby was in the
apartment at the time the fire
was set. the mother had
gone to another apartment to
secure lodging for her and
the child because she feared
the Balch would attempt to
harm them based on comments he had made to her
earlier.
Bethell said it appears that
an accelerate was poured on
some of the living room furniture and then lit. He said
when the flames were
noticed and it was known
that a child was in the residence, John Scott of
Arkadelphia, who was visiting friends in the complex
ran through the flames and
grabbed the child.
“Had it not been for him, it
could have been a fatal fire,”
Bethell stated.

were a total loss, Arnold
said. the apartment under

around the clock on this
case. it's huge.”
Watson said the pair
described for officials the
type residences they preferred to burglarize. He
declined to be specific on
that revelation, though.
At the present time,
Hortman and Hewitt are
being held in the Clark
County detention Center on
two counts of residential burglary and theft of property
and three counts of breaking
the damaged unit received
water damage, the chief stated. Eight other apartments
had smoke damage.
Balch was arrested
Wednesday by Arkansas
Game and Fish officer
ricky Frazier after police
received a tip he was walking down Highway 8 on his
way
back
from
Killingsworth trailer Park.
He is currently charged with
residential burglary and
arson.
Bethell stated that more
charges against Balch are
likely to be forthcoming.
“He put a lot of people's
lives in danger this time,” he
said. “this could have a
very bad fire.”
Firemen were on the scene
about three hours, Arnold
said.
Bethell credited the APd as
well as the Clark County
Sheriff's office and Arkansas
State Police investigator
Scott Clark for their work on
the case.
“the Arkadelphia Fire
department did a great job
by responding quickly and
getting the fire under control,” he noted. “We're just
relieved that no one was
injured.”

However,
Watson stated that the number of charges is likely to rise
dramatically as officials
complete their investigation.
in addition, the state of
Louisiana also has a hold
placed on the men and will
try them when Clark County
is finished with them, the
sheriff said.
“the streets are definitely
safer with those two off
them,” Watson said. “it's my
goal they don't ever roam the
streets of Clark County
again.”

in that case, students were
able to make up the missed
credits in time for graduation.
Court records show that the
mistake was noticed during a
routine state audit. A student
was allowed to graduate in
2008 with only two and half
math credits instead of the
three required for graduation. the case file reveals
that Hopkins reprimanded
Bray for the incident and
ordered him to set up a check
system to make sure the incident did not occur again.
Bray then sent a letter to
Sims telling him it was his
responsibility as counselor to
set up such a system and
make sure students had the
proper credits necessary for
graduation. in his response
to Bray, Sims denied that it
was his fault the student had
graduated with improper
credit. Hopkins agreed with
Bray, telling him it was his

Glynn is a 12 year member

and is currently doing selective breeding of several

are to develop a new breed
that that has top-knots,
beards, mottled feathers,
naked necks, and five toes.
Glynn says, “i have all of the
characteristics i am looking

i will have a bird even dr.

students had the proper credits.
When a dawson
Educational
Cooperative
audit revealed in december
2008 that twenty-one out of
fifty-four seniors were not on
track to graduate due to
improper math credits, Sims
was blamed for the error,
even though it was revealed
that due to a mistake in the
handbook, which had been
approved by Hopkins, the
students had the wrong
amount of credits.
Sims and Bray were then
terminated at the end of the
school year for the mistake,
which Hopkins stated was a
“reoccurring error” on their
parts.
Both Sims and Bray
appealed their dismissals to
the Bismarck School Board,
which upheld the decision
not to renew their contracts.
Sims then challenged the dismissal in Hot Spring County
Circuit Court under the
teacher Fair dismissal Act.
Special Circuit Judge John
Cole issued a Memorandum
opinion and an order that
was entered of record on
May 13, 2011. Cole found
that the non-renewal of
Sims’s contract was in violation of the teacher Fair
dismissal Act of 1983.
the court also noted that
since Sims was not on the
handbook committee and
was never given a copy of
the credit requirement
changes, he could not be
held accountable for the mistake.
Sims was represented by
J.G. “Gerry” Schulze of
Little rock and Andi davis
of Hot Springs.
the
Bismarck School district
was represented by Paul
Blume and J. Fred Hart of
Little rock.
“We are very pleased that
the Court of Appeals
affirmed Judge Cole’s decision in this matter. We were
confident that the law was on
our side in this case. We are
happy to see that the Court of
Appeals agrees,” Schulze
stated.
