NASHVILLE – One Murfreesboro
man has pled guilty to two counts
stemming from a party in Nathan that
turned violent.
Twenty-year-old Kortez Smith
entered a guilty plea to residential
burglary and second degree battery.
Before Smith was sentenced to
prison, he told Judge Charles A. Yeargan that he was at Morgan Curry’s
home on Jan. 2. Smith said, “[we]
wind up getting in the house and getting in a fight with the resident there.”

Opinions
Finally, enough is enough
``We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.’’ Dr. Martin Luther King
Finally, some common
sense has prevailed in the
28-year old Pulaski County school desegregation
lawsuit.
U.S. District Judge Brian S. Miller released the
state of Arkansas from
its obligation to pay for
desegregation efforts in
the three Pulaski County
school districts. His ruling
brings to an end, hopefully,
a $70 million a year mandatory commitment from
all state taxpayers to help
the schools desegregate.
This lawsuit and the
impact it has had on thousands of Arkansans is a
good example of the misguided federal government
effort to force the integration of black and white students in the public school
system, the optimum word
here is ``force.’’
Black and white students can go to schools
together and for the most
part get along and so can
black and white families
get along, but when the
heavy hand of the government in Washington D.C.
forces people to do so, the
end result is Americans
push back and rightfully
so. Resentment and prejudice are the end result.
legislative
update
From the State
House of Representatives
It’s an exciting time
for many Arkansas young
people and their families,
as area high schools hold
commencement ceremonies for graduating seniors.
Although it is a time for
celebration, it can also be
a nerve-racking process, as
students and parents face
the challenge of covering
college tuition costs.
You probably know that
the lottery-funded Arkan-
sas Academic Challenge
Scholarship is available
for graduating seniors who
qualify, but the deadline to
apply is fast approaching.
New graduates, current
students who have not applied for the scholarship
before, and returning students should fill out the
YOUniversal Scholarship
Application by June 1, and
any supporting materials,
like transcripts, must be
For example, the forced
integration in Pulaski
County has prompted white
flight to outlying school
districts in towns like Bryant and Bentonville and
created multiple private
schools which are largely
white-populated and supported schools. Some of
the public schools in Pulaski County are known as
drop-out factories where
50 percent of the students,
mostly African American,
drop out.
The point is the vast majority of black and white
parents want their kids to
have a good education and
they are willing to pay for
it. What the parents do not
want is to be forced in a
system they have to pay for
and in which their kids do
not get a good education.
One wonders what Arkansans living in cities
from Blytheville to Texarkana are asking themselves
today is why should we
as a state have to pay to
desegregate Little Rock
and North Little Rock and
other Pulaski County public schools? Good question and the answer is: we
shouldn’t.
The worse part of the
judge’s ruling is the recognition that the public
schools both in terms of
students and staff in Pulaski County are probably
less integrated than they
were when the court ruling
was handed down in 1989.
“It seems that the State
of Arkansas is using a carrot and stick approach with
these districts but that the
districts are wise mules
that learned how to eat the
carrot and sit down on the
job,’’ Judge Miller wrote in
his ruling. ``The time has
finally come for all carrots
to be put away.’’
Since 1989 the state
has paid over $1 billion to
the districts, according to
the Arkansas DemocratGazette article.
Coincidentally, at the
same time that Arkansas’s
rural school districts have
been starving for state
funds can you imagine
their resentment when
they learn that the state
is paying over $78 million a year so that Pulaski
County lawyers can line
their pockets?
This whole lawsuit and
its end result is just plain
not fair. I don’t care how
some judge sizes it up or
how some bureaucrat in
Washington, D. C. feels,
this whole thing reeks of
stupidity and myopia.
Star Parker, a black female writer and commentator, sums up the whole
sorry mess in her book,
`Ùncle Sam’s Plantation’’, in which she points
out that these federal programs which are billed
and sold as programs to
help minorities have actually played a big part in
destroying black families.
At the end of the day,
Uncle Sam has to keep the
races divided, otherwise all
races might ask some hard
questions about how their
tax dollars are spent.
Arkansas Academic Challenge deadline nears
submitted by June 15. The
deadlines apply to both the
fall and spring semesters.
Anyone who received
the Academic Challenge
Scholarship during the
2010-2011 academic year
will not have to reapply.
However, students who
applied previously but were
not awarded must submit a
new application. To fill out
the form, you can visit the
Arkansas Department of
Higher Education (ADHE)
website, at www.adhe.edu.
ADHE also offers a free
smart phone application
that students can use to apply, or to check their award
status.
All students who graduate from an Arkansas high
school in 2011 and complete eligibility requirements are guaranteed to
receive the Academic Challenge Scholarship under
current legislation. The
funds available for nontraditional students are
budgeted at $12 million.
Those scholarships will be
awarded based on those
who are nearest to graduation or completion of their
degree programs.
The scholarship amounts
for both traditional and
non-traditional students is
$4,500 for students at fouryear colleges, and $2,250
for students at two-year
institutions. As mentioned
in a previous column, those
award amounts are slightly
lower than last year, because the number of students taking advantage of
the scholarship was even
greater than anticipated.
That, coupled with a minor
reduction in the revenue
forecast necessitated the
small change in scholarship
amounts for new recipients.
As long as they continue
to meet eligibility requirements, last year’s recipients
will continue to receive the
higher amount.
So far, over 11,150
scholarships have been
awarded to 2011 graduates, and those students, as
well as returning recipients,
must log on to the ADHE
website and accept the
award to receive the funding. Last year, scholarships
went out to a total of 31,000
students.
We have all made it a priority to increase the number
of college degree holders in
our state, and we hope the
availability of this scholarship will help make that
happen. For scholarship
requirements, to apply, or
for more information, visit
adhe.edu, and remember:
get those applications in
by June 1.

Faith
I am what I am
C. Young
But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace
to me was not without effect. - 1 Corinthians 15:10
Wow what a statement, “But by the grace of God
I am what I am.”
What if I was that no good heathen that treated my
family like they were worth nothing?
What if I was that person still shooting up?
What if I was that person who was still stealing
things?
What if I was that person who lied every time I
opened my mouth?
What if I was that person who couldn’t be trusted
as far as you could throw me?
What if I was that person that was still drinking?
What if I was that person still smoking pot?
What if I was still that so called Christian running
from God?
What if I was that person who……?
All the “what if’s” have changed so I can stand
alongside Paul and say,
“But by the grace of God I am what I am.”
Has His Grace been given to you in vain? Are
you trying to get yourself to a place where His grace
is not without effect?
Are you tired of fighting a fight that you cannot
win? You don’t have to fight, what you have to do
is give up.
Believe me when I say it is not about the fight- it
is all about the surrendering.
It’s about hitting rock bottom. That place where
there is no dignity left, no pride, and no honor. It’s
about that place where you don’t care who knows
what it is that has been going on in your life.
Then you call that rock bottom the foundation of
Jesus Christ, and on this rock I will build.
I will let Him build me into a man of God. I will
let His grace be sufficient.
I am what I am because of His grace.
In all of history is there anyone who could stand
up and say it any better than Paul,
but by the grace of God I am what I am.
Where are you? Are you what you are because of
you, or is it by the Grace of God?

Lying to Oneself
Pastor Steve Ellison
Harvey’s Chapel Baptist Church
Love has been the subject of many
poems, songs, short stories and
books over the ages. It seems to me
that the books of Esther and Hosea
are the best and most touching of all
the attempts at describing true love.
In the book of Hosea, God proves
His love to be longsuffering to the
extreme. He pursues and continues
to pursue the object of His great love,
the nation of Israel. In Hosea chapter
8, God announces that He is raising
up a dreadful enemy to drive His
beloved, chosen people back to Him.
He lists a few (but not all) of their
most heinous acts of unfaithfulness
and betrayal. His people whom He
rescued from Egypt rebelled against
His law, broke His covenant, set
up kings without His consent, constructed and worshipped idols, etc.
Hosea 8:5 has been rendered in
several different ways by the various translations. Regardless of the
different translations, the picture is
quite clear. God chose a people to
be His beloved, His special nation
that He would bless not because
they deserved it but simply because
He chose them out of all the nations
of the world. He was preparing
to deliver the Savior of the whole
world through this people. His
blessing, His love, His divine will,
i.e. His choosing, made them different from every other nation on
the face of the earth. And yet they
chose to worship idols. The golden
calf they learned about in Egypt
seemed to be a special temptation
for them. They succumbed in the
wilderness just a month or so after
the miraculous rescue at the Red
Sea and they continued to dabble
with it in the 300 plus years up to
this point in the Promised Land. In
verse 5, it is not entirely clear if God
is rejecting their idol, or if the idol
is rejecting the people, or if God is
telling them to once and for all reject
their idols. All three interpretations
fit the current context and with the
rest of Scripture, thus maybe all three
are correct. All of that makes little
difference. The point is that God
voices His exasperation with them,
declaring in a rhetorical question that
it appears they will never be innocent
or pure again. They have wallowed
in sin for so long that even God is
expressing little hope for them. The
warning for them and for us today is
to be diligent to stop with the sin as
soon as we become aware that we
have done it. It is a dangerous thing
to believe that one can engage in sin
as long as one wants and be able to
stop anytime one chooses. It will
not be so. The longer one wallows
in sin the harder it is to stop. It is
arrogance to the extreme to believe
we can form a habit of sin and think
we have the power to stop anytime
we want.
There is another grave warning
here for Israel and for us. Earlier, in
verse 2, God said He had heard their
emphatic claim that they did indeed
know God. God clearly rejects that
claim. I speak with people every
week who tell me, “Oh, yes. I know
God. I am His child. I pray to Him.”
Their actual lives look very much
like Israel in chapter 8 of Hosea.
There is no evidence that they belong
to God or are even acquainted with
Him. Be assured, God is not fooled
even for a moment. It is a dangerous
thing to lie to oneself about knowing
God. In verse 5 God said, “My anger
burns against them.”

By Joe Dallas
My name is Joe Dallas.
I was born Dec. 17, 1935
and retired in 2002 after
48 years with Pilgrim’s
Pride Corporation. I began
working with them in 1957
hauling feed.
I was born behind the
Rock Hill Schoolhouse,
grew up in County Line and
rode a 1942 Chevy wooden
bus to school.
My wife is the former
Gloria Westfall, born Nov.
4, 1940. We went to school
together and met “the second time around” playing
cards. We will have been
married 24 years this coming September. I have two
children and eight grandchildren, seven boys and
one girl.
I was born and raised on
a farm. As a boy I worked
for Luther McInturf. He
had the largest truck patch
in the country and paid me
20 cents an hour to help
him pick produce. After
retiring from Pilgrim’s, I
started gardening myself.
I always grew more than I
needed and gave it away to
the widows in the area. In
2009, I received the “Man
of the Year” award from
the Chamber of Commerce.
I’m one of the volunteers
who helped “build” the
Farmers’ Market.
My first job was notching posts and then I got
moved on up to helping
build the rest rooms at the
Market facility.
The products I bring to
the market are snap beans,
cabbage, potatoes, beets,
peppers and okra. Last
year I gathered 14, 720
pods of okra from my garden. I hope more people
start taking an interest in
the market and begin growing produce to sell.
My advice to anyone
who wants to grow a garden – learn what kind of
soil you have, what grows
best in that soil and then
get good at growing something.
Be prepared to plant the
second or even third time in
a season. And be prepared
to enjoy work.
I’ve been blessed with
good health after all the
complications, and a good
cook.
