Holly Couch tells her senior english students what tasks they’ll need to accomplish before graduation Monday.
Seniors have two days of school remaining this year, while lower classmen will continue to attend for two weeks.
The Branding Iron was
a café that was located on
South Main Street in the
small town of Nashville.
The menu at the café was
anything from pinto beans
to T-Bone steaks and everything in between.
The aroma was appetizing and it always smelled
flavorful. This was a place
where folks went to eat and
enjoy themselves while
spending time with their
family or stopping in to
eat lunch. It had a friendly
atmosphere and people
continuously returned to
dine.
Customers always loved
coming to the café and
catching up on everything
they had missed. This small
but, simple restaurant first
started as my mother’s
dream, which became a
reality and turned into a
family business. The Branding Iron Café was for everybody from farmers to
businessmen and everyone
was always welcome.
My mother, Lucille Salisbury Bevill, purchased the
Branding Iron Café in 1976.

Recognizing
teachers, nurses and
a longtime public
servant
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week.
According to the Arkansas Department of
Education, we currently have 33,282 certified
school teachers in Arkansas. Day in and day
out, they instruct, care for, discipline, inspire
and interact with our children. My wife is a
teacher and I know how hard she works to
give kids the best of her knowledge, talent and
energy. Teaching is an incredibly vital profession that often doesn’t get the appreciation it
deserves. None of
us would be where
are today withMark Darr we
out a teacher.
Arkansas Lt.
One of my faGovernor
vorite things about
being Lieutenant
Governor is getting to visit schools
all across Arkansas. Each school is unique
and I’ve seen many very creative programs
designed to teach kids in a new way or expose
them to new challenges and ideas. All of their
success depends on having good teachers
who can communicate with students and help
them reach and realize their potential. School
boards, administrators, school staff and
parents are all vital to our education system
as well, but there would be no system without
the teachers themselves.
It is also National Nurses Week and we can’t
say enough about what they do for all of us.
Whether they are helping newborn babies,
caring for terminally ill patients, or just making someone more comfortable during a routine medical visit, nurses are an indispensible
part of our healthcare system. They save
lives every day. They don’t get medals nor
are they honored in big ceremonies when they
do so, but they go home and come back to
work each day to do it again. It takes a special
kind of commitment and compassion to do
what they do.
Teachers and nurses are unsung heroes
who give so much of themselves to their
work. They should never be thankless jobs.
They are tiresome jobs, however, and we need
to make sure that we are incentivizing those
who are in these professions because we need
more people who are willing to go into education and medical fields.
Please say thanks to the men and women
you know who are either teachers or nurses.
They need to know that their work is appreciated and that they are making a difference.
***
Finally, I want to say a word of congratulations to my friend and our Arkansas State
Auditor Charlie Daniels. He announced this
week that he will be retiring after his current
term ends, after a career in public service. He
started out getting elected Parker’s Chapel
School Board in 1972. Then, he became Director of the Arkansas Department of Labor. He
was elected Land Commissioner in 1985 and
served in that capacity for 18 years. Following that, he served two terms as Secretary of
State, prior to becoming Auditor. In addition
to all of this, he also served honorably in the
United States Air Force. In my time as Lieutenant Governor, Charlie Daniels has been a
true gentleman to me and one of my favorite
people at the Capitol. I’ve not met one person, Democrat or Republican, that doesn’t
love him. He has served the state well and I
wish him many happy years with his family in
retirement.

Step by step process best when choosing a nursing home
BOB MOOS
Centers for Medicare
& Medicaid Services
Most people think
they’ll never need nursing
home care. But some of us
will, either because we’re
recovering from an injury
or illness or because we
can’t fend for ourselves at
home anymore.
Families often must find
the right nursing home for
a loved one at a moment’s
notice, after a crisis or
emergency. If they had
just acknowledged the
possibility and started
sooner, they would have
spared themselves a lot of
stress and had more time
to consider all of their
options.
Medicare covers some
skilled nursing and rehabilitative care if a physician orders it after a hospital stay. But Medicare,
like most health insurance, generally doesn’t
pay for long-term custodial care. Most people depend on private
long-term care insurance,
their own resources or
Medicaid.
Even under the best
circumstances, choosing a nursing home can
be trying. There are always many emotions at
work. But if you do your
research and take it one
step at a time, you’ll be
able to make an informed
decision.
First, find the nursing
homes in your area.
M e d i c a re ’s N u r s i n g
Home Compare website
– w w w. m e d i c a re . g o v /
nhcompare -- can search
for homes by city, county,
state or ZIP code. But also
ask for recommendations
from friends, family or
neighbors who may have
had a loved one in a nursing home. If you’re in the
hospital, the discharge
planner or social worker
can help.
Compare the nursing
homes you’re considering.
The Nursing Home
Compare website provides
detailed information on recent health and safety inspections, nursing homes’
staffing and such quality
measures as whether residents are in pain or losing
weight. The site uses a
five-star rating system to
help families understand
the differences in the quality of care between nursing homes.
The website and rating
system aren’t meant to
be the final word on the
subject, though. They’re
just two guides to use
with your other research.
Talk to friends or, better yet, your physician.
You may also want to call
your state’s long-term
care ombudsman to find
out how many complaints
have been lodged against
particular nursing homes,
what kinds of complaints
they were and whether
they’ve been resolved.
In Arkansas, the ombudsman’s number is 501682-8952.
Visit the nursing homes
that seem promising.
Visit the nursing homes
that interest you, or if
you can’t, ask a friend or
family member to visit for
you. Make an appointment
and think of the questions
that are important to you.
Can you have visitors at
any time? Can you choose
what time to get up, go to
sleep or bathe? Can you
bring your pet? What if
you don’t like what’s on
the day’s menu?
M e d i c a re ’s N u r s i n g
Home Compare website
contains a helpful checklist of questions that cover
everything from care and
safety to activities and
food. Print it from your
computer and take it with
you on your visit.
Don’t be afraid to talk
money. Get a copy of the
nursing home’s schedule of charges to find out
which ser vices are included in the basic fee and
which cost extra. Talk to
residents and their family
members about whether
they’re satisfied with the
care. And then make a
second visit, at a different
hour of the day from your
first call.
F i n a l l y, c h o o s e t h e
nursing home that best
fits your individual needs.
Trust your senses. If a
nursing home doesn’t look
clean or smell right, you
may want to scratch it off
your list. Once you make
a choice, run it by people who understand your
personal and health care
needs, such as your family
and doctor. And if you’re
looking for a nursing home
for someone else, be sure
to include that person in
the decision-making as
much as possible.

or call Medicare at 1-800633-4227. A free Medicare publication, a “Guide
to Choosing a Nursing
Home,” can be downloaded from the website or

Postal letter carriers to conduct annual food drive
ARKANSAS--The U.S.
Postal Service and the National Association of Letter
Carriers will deliver for
America in conducting the
nation’s largest single-day
food drive on Sat., May 11.
The Stamp Out Hunger
food drive is a nationwide
effort that provides food to
local food banks and pantries that rely heavily on
donations. With more than
50 million Americans living at risk of hunger, food
banks across the country
continue to experience
record demand for emergency food assistance.
Local letter carriers will
collect food donations left
at the mailboxes of generous Americans in more
than 10,000 communities
and deliver them to food
banks and other hunger
relief organizations, such
as pantries, soup kitchens
and shelters. Now in its
21st year, the Stamp Out
Hunger food drive is the
nation’s largest single-day
food drive, having collected more than one bil-
lion pounds of food since
its inception in 1993. In
2012, generous Americans
donated more than 70 million pounds of food, which
marked the ninth consecutive year that at least 70
million pounds were collected. Despite the generosity of millions of Americans who have supported
the letter carriers’ food
drive in previous years, the
need for food assistance
still exists for millions of
families. Just leave a bag of
non-perishable food items
by your mailbox on Sat.,
May 11. Your letter carrier
will then pick up and deliver the food to a local food
bank. Examples of non-perishable items include: peanut butter, canned soup,
canned meats and fish,
canned vegetables, fruits
and juices, boxed goods
(such as cereal), and pasta
and rice.
For more information
about the annual Stamp
Out Hunger food drive, ask
your letter carrier, contact
your local post office or
visit either www.helpstampouthunger.com or www.

Hunger, and follow the

College funding changes in 2013
This year’s high school
graduates may be done
with exams, but with
changes to Arkansas’ lottery scholarships and college loan interest rates,
they’d better be cramming
for the financial challenges
ahead, according to Jean
Ince, County Extension
Agent-Staff Chair with the
University of Arkansas
System Division of Agriculture.
“High school seniors
may have some last-minute
adjustments to make in
paying for a college education,” she said.
Among the changes:
interest rates on government subsidized Stafford
loans are set to double
from 3.4 percent to 6.8
percent on July 1. Students
who receive loans now are
committing a larger chunk
of their future paychecks.
The Arkansas Academic
Challenge Scholarship has
fallen from $4,500 per year
to $2,000 for freshmen
starting school in the fall of
2013. That’s $2,500 the student will have to make up
from some other funding
source. This can be especially difficult for moderate
income families who don’t
have as much expendable
income and who might not
qualify for needs-based
financial aid.
Here are four financial
tips to consider for additional college funding:
1. Apply for financial aid
– Always explore all of the
possibilities. There might
be scholarships or grants
for which you qualify. Contact your school’s financial
aid office to complete an
application.
2. Earn some income Students can supplement
financial aid with earned
income. It can be challenging to manage a schedule
that includes both college
and work, while ensuring
school comes first. Look
for employment opportunities that fit into your
ension

school schedule. Work during the summer and save
for the school year. Work
only part-time during the
school year and limit work
hours so that you have
enough time for classes
and homework. Check with
your school about workstudy programs that provide on-campus jobs.
3. Borrow as little as
possible. It can be tempting to borrow as much
money as the lender allows; however, beware
of using student loans to
finance a lifestyle. The less
you borrow now, the easier
it will be to manage your
household budget after
you graduate. Calculate
your actual financial need
and borrow only the mini-
mum necessary to finance
your education.
4. Comparison shop
for loans. If you decide to
take out a loan, be sure
to shop around. As with
any important consumer
decision, compare at least
three places before making
a final purchase decision.
Look for the best terms
and rates available. The
lower the interest rate, the
more money you’ll keep
in your pocket after you
graduate.

Recipe of the Week
Summertime and homemade ice cream go hand
in hand. Here is a great
recipe for making peach
ice cream which was featured this past weekend
by the Howard County 4-H
Teen Leaders at the Peach
Blossom Festival. Thanks
to Lou Jamison, the trick
to getting a stronger peach
flavor is to add peach jello
to the mix.
Homemade Peach
Ice Cream
2 ½ pounds fresh
peaches-peeled, pitted
and chopped
½ cup sugar
1 pint half-and-half
cream
1 (14 oz) can sweetened
condensed milk
1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
1 pkg. peach flavored
gelatin
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups whole milk, or as
needed
1. Puree peaches with
the sugar and half-and-half
in batches in a blender or
food processor.
2. In a gallon ice cream
freezer container, mix together the peach mixture,
sweetened condensed
milk, evaporated milk,
peach flavored gelatin,
and vanilla. Pour in enough
whole milk to fill the container to the fill line, about
2 cups.
3. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to
freeze the ice cream.

CASA for Children makes Mother’s
Day happy for foster children
On Mother’s Day we celebrate
everything a mother does for her children. Mothers change their children’s
diapers, fed them, teach them to walk,
take them to school, protect them and
so much more.
Sadly, not all children are so lucky
to have a mother, or a mother figure,
who can and will do these things for
them.
When a child is placed in the state’s
care because of evidence of abuse and
neglect, a judge can appoint a CASA
(Court Appointed Special Advocates)
to speak up for a child’s best interest by learning everything about the
child’s situation.
Often the CASA volunteer is the
stability a child needs during this
frightful time. CASA volunteers advocate for the child’s best interests in
court and in the child welfare system
when no one else can.
CASA volunteers are regular people
-- stay-at-home moms, retirees, teachers, businesspeople. They don’t need
to be lawyers or social workers. They
just need to be willing to speak up for
children in need just like a mother
would for her child.
“CASA volunteers become that role
model because they often are the one
constant in a child’s life while he or
she is in the foster care system,” said
Danita Abernathy, CASA for Children’s
Executive Director.
You can help break the cycle of
abuse from one generation to another.
You can model what a good mother
looks like by becoming a CASA volunteer or supporting the local program.
The next information sessions to
learn more about becoming a CASA
volunteer in Miller, Bowie, Cass,
Camp, Morris, Pike, Howard, Hempstead, Little River, Sevier or Nevada
counties are 9 a.m. or 5:30 p.m., May
27, CASA for Children, 1201 Main
Street, Texarkana, Texas. For more
information visit www.BecomeACASA.
org, or to register call the CASA office

DeQueen Air Evac Lifeteam crew
conducts safety class for Nathan VFD
SUBMITTED PHOTO I Nashville News
The DeQueen Air evac Lifeteam base recently held a helicopter safety and landing zone class for members of the Nathan
Volunteer Fire Department.
The DeQueen Air Evac Lifeteam air ambulance crew
recently held a helicopter safety and landing zone class
for the Nathan Volunteer Fire Department. The class included instruction on interacting safely with helicopters,
selecting landing zone sites, guiding the helicopter to the
ground and patient loading.
“This class gave us a perfect opportunity to educate
these firefighters about what Air Evac does and how we
work with other responders at the scenes of medical
emergencies,” Air Evac Lifeteam Senior Program Director Michael Perrin, said. “Landing zone classes are very
important because we want everyone involved in an
emergency response to be safe around the helicopter.
“These firefighters did a great job participating and
were very engaged in the class,” he added.
The DeQueen Air Evac Lifeteam base, located at 1017
N. 14th Street, began operations in August 2007 and
serves hospitals and communities within a 70-mile radius. Crews, which include a pilot, nurse and paramedic,
can fly directly to the scenes of medical emergencies or
make hospital transfers.
Air Evac Lifeteam, an air ambulance service that provides emergency health care and rapid medical transport
to medically underserved communities throughout the
central United States, routinely provides training for
emergency service agencies in the areas it serves. The
company currently operates 114 air ambulance bases in
15 states. For more information about Air Evac Lifeteam
services, call 1-800-793-0010 or visit www.lifeteam.net.
Spring means time to review lawn mower safety with kids
LITTLE ROCK– Though
summer hasn’t even
dawned yet, Arkansas Children’s Hospital (ACH) has
already treated its first
patients with lawn mower
injuries. This means that
as grass continues to grow
through the warm months
and school lets out, parents need to be on guard.
“If a trend like this starts
early, it usually continues
through the summer,” said
Donna Parnell-Beasley, RN,
trauma coordinator for
ACH. “Always know where
children are when you’re
mowing.”
Dale Blasier, MD, vice
chief of Orthopedics at
ACH and a professor of
Orthopedic Surgery at the
University of Arkansas for
Medical Sciences (UAMS)
College of Medicine, said
that “even a moment of
inattention can lead to
an injury which will last a
lifetime.”
Last year, the hospital
treated several patients
who were seriously injured in accidents involving lawn mowers. ParnellBeasley points out that
lawn mower injuries are
usually penetrating and in
many scenarios, amputation or partial amputation
occurs.
“Some children even
require subsequent hospitalizations for skin grafts
and wound care,” she said.
“The injuries we see are
typically to the hands or
feet. These are devastating
and disfiguring injuries.”
Blasier emphasized
that the injuries children
sustain in lawnmower accidents often result in permanent disability to the
extremities.
“The spinning mower
blade carries a great deal
of energy and can have
devastating effects on kids.
The types of injuries are
similar to those seen after
the recent Boston Marathon bombings,” Blasier
said. “Amputation and
severe mangling can result.
“The wounds are generally ragged and filled with
dirt and debris,” Blasier
said. “They’re at high risk
for infections. It’s difficult
to get them to heal, and
they often require several
surgeries.”
Mary Aitken, MD, director of the Injury Prevention
Center at ACH and a professor of Pediatrics at UAMS,
advocates several tips for
avoiding lawn mower accidents during the summer
months.
“Straightforward prevention strategies can reduce these tragic events,”
she said. “These include
making sure young children are supervised and
away from lawn mowers,
and that children are 12
years old before they operate lawnmowers or 16
before using a riding lawnmower. Further, children
should not be allowed to
play on or around mowers
or ride as passengers.”
Parents and caregivers
need to remember that
riding lawn mowers are not
passenger vehicles. Children shouldn’t be allowed
to ride as passengers. Adolescents and teenagers
who operate push-lawn
mowers should wear long
pants, protective boots
and goggles because the
machines can toss objects
towards their faces.
“It is a vehicle, and it
does require some critical
thinking skills to maneuver,” Aitken said.
As school lets out for the
summer, parents should be
aware when their neighbors are mowing. They
should also talk to their
children about staying
away from lawn mowers
and discuss safety.

Hospital is the only pediatric medical center in

managed a single run in
the second, four in the
third, and a final score in
the fifth.
Avery Kesterson led
the Scrapperettes on

performance from the
plate that resulted in two
runs and an RBI. Kathleen Lance and Brittany
Middleton both went 1-2
with Lance earning two
runs and Middleton tallying a single score.
Keeley Miller and
Jenna Hendry turned in
2-4 efforts that resulted
in three RBIs for Miller

two runs each despite
never getting a hit.
Hendry was also
credited with the win
after striking out one
batter and giving up three
earned runs in seven innings of work.

Caleb Dunn delivers a pitch for the Dierks Outlaws during Monday’s loss to Parker’s Chapel.
REGIONAL RUNNERS UP
Outlaws one game shy of title
after loss to Parker’s Chapel
ChARLES GOODIN
Managing Editor
The Dierks Outlaws became regional
runners-up Monday with a hard-fought
loss to the Parker’s Chapel Trojans in the
finals of the regional tournament.
Despite the 13-3 final tally, the game
was evenly matched in the opening innings, with both teams putting up two
runs in the first and battling through a
scoreless second.
The Trojans began to pull away with a
five-run rally in the third and sealed their
victory with six more runs in the fifth.
Austin Walston got things started for
Dierks in the first when he reached base
on an error, scoring Adam Bradshaw.
Remington Jester hit a sacrifice fly to
left field on the next play, scoring Tyler
Mounts.
Dierks wouldn’t score again until the
fourth stanza of play, when Alex Sharp
grounded out to third, scoring Calan Tipton.
Four different Outlaws handled pitching for Dierks, with credit for the loss going to Sharp, who struck out no batters
and allowed seven runs in a little over
two innings of work.
Jester followed Sharp on the mound,
striking out three and giving up no runs,
then Caleb Dunn took over, giving up six
runs and striking out one.
Tyler Kesterson closed things out,
giving up no runs and striking out no
batters.
Dierks now advances to the state
tournament, where they will play Hector Thursday on the Junction City field.
Game time is set for 7:30 p.m.

Nashville Waterworks
2012 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report
We're pleased to present to you this year's Annual Drinking Water Quality Report. This report is designed to inform you
about the quality water and services we deliver to you every day. Our goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable
supply of drinking water, and we want you to understand, and be involved in, the efforts we make to continually improve
the water treatment process and protect our water resources.
Where Does Our Drinking Water Come From?
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs,
and wells. Our source is surface water from Lake Nichols and Little Missouri River.
Save the Bees
Help the Junior
Beekeepers save the bees.
Call us if you have swarms.
870-557-4349
or 870-451-1396
How Safe Is The Source Of Our Drinking Water?
The Arkansas Department of Health has completed a Source Water Vulnerability Assessment for Nashville Waterworks. The
assessment summarizes the potential for contamination of our sources of drinking water and can be used as a basis for
developing a source water protection plan. Based on the various criteria of the assessment, our water sources have been
determined to have a medium to high susceptibility to contamination. You may request a summary of the Source Water
Vulnerability Assessment from our office.
What Contaminants Can Be In Our Drinking Water?
As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some
cases, can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be
present in source water include: Microbial contaminants such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage
treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife; Inorganic contaminants such as salts and
metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater
discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming; Pesticides and herbicides which may come from a variety of sources
such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses; Organic chemical contaminants including synthetic and
volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from
gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems; Radioactive contaminants which can be naturally occurring or be
the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
In order to assure tap water is safe to drink, EPA has regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water
provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in
bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.
Am I at Risk?
All drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some
contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. However,
some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised
persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people
with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from small amounts
of contamination. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. More information
about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe
Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791. In addition, EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of
infection by microbiological contaminants are also available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline.
Lead and Drinking Water
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children.
Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. We are
responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing
components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by
flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in
your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you
can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

How Can I Learn More About Our Drinking Water?
If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact Greg Strawn, Water Production
Superintendent, at 870-845-7797. We want our valued customers to be informed about their water utility. If you want to
learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. They are held on the fourth Tuesday of each month at
6:00 PM at City Hall, 426 North Main in Nashville.
TEST RESULTS
We routinely monitor for constituents in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. The test results table
shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1st to December 31st, 2012. In the table you might find terms
and abbreviations you are not familiar with. To help you better understand these terms we've provided the following
definitions:
Action Level - the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a
water system must follow.
Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) - the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set
as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) – unenforceable public health goal; the level of a contaminant in drinking
water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) - the highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is
convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) - the level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is
no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial
contaminants.
NA – not applicable
Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) – a unit of measurement for the clarity of water. Turbidity in excess of 5 NTU is just
noticeable to the average person.
Parts per billion (ppb) - a unit of measurement for detected levels of contaminants in drinking water. One part per billion
corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000.
Parts per million (ppm) – a unit of measurement for detected levels of contaminants in drinking water. One part per
million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000.

CAFÉ
From Page 1
She bought it from her
friend, Jeanette Cross, and
a new chapter in her life
began. The restaurant became well known in Nashville and the surrounding
areas for the great food
that it ser ved and the
friendly atmosphere. My
mother loved cooking for
her family and would always have a pot of soup or
something cooking when
my sisters and brother got
home from school.
Everyone felt warm and
loved when entering her
home. Cooking was what
made my mother happy
REDDIE
From Page 1
swer Monday when he
signed with Henderson
State University.
“I am excited to play
for the Reddies,” Williams
said. “I wanted to go
play for them. They have
a pretty good football
team.”
Pretty good is an
understatement. HSU
has run the tables in the
Great America Conference in recent years,
winning back-to-back
conference titles the past
two seasons.
HSU runs a spread
style offense similar
to the Mineral Springs
program that Williams
because she was passionate about it and she also
loved cooking for other
people as well. No one
was ever turned away
whether they were hungry
or did not have the money
to get something to eat.
Having the restaurant
was an accomplishment
for my mother that made
her happy and content.
She put a lot of hard work
and many hours into it in
order to make it into the
restaurant that it became.
The Branding Iron Café
was a medium- sized restaurant with tan brick
on the outside as well as
on the inside with green
checkered curtains. Along
the sides of the café were
tables and chairs where
people could sit.
There was also a long
table that went down the
center of the restaurant
where all the men sat,
drank coffee and gossiped. The counter separating the kitchen from
the dining room always
had homemade pies on
it such as chocolate and
coconut with meringue
piled on top, along with
a variety of fried pies. We
also served ice cream,
milkshakes and sometimes cake. The menu
favorites consisted of

Over his three year
the last three years, he
amassed 5,309 yards on
560 carries, resulting
in 66 touchdowns. Five
of those scores came
through the air.
In his last year as a
Hornet, Williams battled
injury to light up the
scoreboard like Christmas, performing 130 carries for 1,004 yards and
16 touchdowns.
“Pretty impressive to
average 9.5 yards a carry
for your career,” Evans
said, describing Williams’
presence as ‘a blessing’ to
Mineral Springs’ program.
“To finish with over 5,300
yards in your career, I
think puts him in the top
ten all time in the state of
Arkansas history, and he
is definitely the number
one rusher in school his-
tory here.”
Williams also saw success in the weight room
this year, winning the
state 181 pound weight
lifting championship.
Mineral Springs came in
second overall during
the 2A state powerlifiting
meet and fifth overall for
all schools in the state.
Powerlifting coach
Jake Monden explained
that Williams nearly tied
the record for his weight
class, leading the team
with a 325 pound bench
press and a 275 pound
power clean.
“Rashad is one of
those kids that you wish
you had at least a dozen
others on your football
team,” Evans said. “A
good, upstanding young
man on and off the field.
Fantastic football player,
but equally impressive off
the field.”

This business became
a part of our family life
which included five sisters and one brother. We
all worked hard in the restaurant but we also had a
lot of fun together while
making many memories
that I will always treasure.
Sometimes, if one of us got
into a fuss with one of the
other siblings, we usually
wound up in a food fight
or started throwing dishwater at each other.

health issues, the restaurant was sold in 1986 and
a new journey began for
her. Her life went from
taking care of everyone in
Nashville to taking care of
friends and family.
It was ver y uplifting
when she recalled memories of the café. It was a
place that made her happy
and fulfilled even though
it caused some headaches

would not have changed
anything about it.

she would always get

about the size of a bowl
