tip leads to arrest of

The first Sunday of
February felt more like a
spring day and closed
with a beautiful, glowing sunset against a violet sky.
Publisher
Short takes
of life...
There’s a lot we’d like to
say this week and precious
little space to say it in.
Some folks would say
that’s a good thing. At any
rate, here’s a sampling of
the thoughts running
around in our head this
week.
*The
Arkansas
Legislature is passing a bill
that will ban abortion if the
baby has a heartbeat. Bully
for them, though we predict
that measure may not pass
a court test and if it does,
we figure there’ll be a rash
of deafness among abortion
clinic workers.
*One city director in
Arkadelphia wants to make
Town Hall a gun-free zone.
That assumes, of course,
that criminals obey laws.
They don’t.
“Gun-free
zone” is simply another
name for future crime
scene.
*Speaking of guns, did
you see the picture of
President Obama shooting
skeet? From the photo, it
appears the skeet must have
been flying about four feet
off the ground. If you’re
going to fake a photo, at
least know something about
the subject. But on a related
note, we are proud he was
holding the gun correctly.
*If you don’t want a second set of sidewalks along
Highway 8 in Amity, we
suggest you show up at the
meeting Tuesday night at
City Hall at 7pm. The
council voted to “revisit”
the issue. We suggest a
polite reminder regarding
that promise.
“Whatever you do
in word or deed,
do all in the name
of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks
through Him to
God the Father.”

A citizen’s tip lead to the
arrests of eight people on
drug and burglary charges.
According to affidavits in
the case, following the
interview, an arrest warrant
was issued on Thursday for
22-year-old of Callie
Deanne Fox of 2688
Highway 70 West in Kirby.
As they were getting ready
to serve the warrant, PCSO
Deputy David Shelby saw a
2001 Honda Accord heading north on Highway 70.
He and Dep. George
Donaldson stopped the
vehicle and in a subsequent
search, uncovered large
amounts of methamphetamine and other drug paraphernalia as well as items
stolen in recent burglaries.
Arrested in the car were
Fox as well as John Oscar
Hibbs, 44 and William
Chase Hitchens, 26, both of
Hot Springs.
At Fox’s residence, a
search warrant was executed and evidence of both
drugs as well as items from
local burglaries were found.
Officials also uncovered
evidence of identity theft,
including mail from different people as well as checkbooks, debit and Social
Security cards.

A Glenwood business was
broken into late Sunday
evening.
According to Glenwood
Police Chief Randy Reid, a
rock was thrown through
the window of Radio Shack
on Highway 70. Video
footage shows the suspect
entering the store and grabbing several items, including some radios, he said,
adding that a complete
inventory of stolen property
has not yet been made.
broken, the store's alarm
system was immediately
triggered, which notified
police, Reid said. A nearby
resident also heard the
alarm and called authorities. Police believe the suspect was only in the building for about a minute.
The chief said police have
a suspect in mind, but are
seeking anyone who may
have seen a white SUV
parked at the side of the
building Sunday between
the hours of 10-11pm. The
had its lights on. It is
believed to be a late model
Suburban or Tahoe, Reed
stated.
Video footage of the vehicle shows traffic on the
highway, meaning that
there may be those who
unknowingly witnessed the
suspect in front of the store.
“If anyone thinks that they
saw anything, it would be a
great help to us if they
would call us,” Reid said.

A Gurdon woman was
killed in a traffic accident
on Highway 26 early
Tuesday morning.
According to a report filed
by Arkansas State Trooper
William L. Summerville,
Cindy Lawson, 47, of 701
East Miller Street in
Gurdon was headed west in
a 2005 Buick when she
crossed the center line and
struck an eastbound 2006
Sterling dump truck driven
by James Elbert Riley, 50,
of 100 Dale Road in
Arkadelphia.
Lawson was pronounced
dead at the scene by Clark
County Coroner Tim Welch
at 8:15am and her body
was transported to Welch
Funeral Home. Riley was
not injured.
Summerville's report indicated that weather conditions were foggy and the
road was wet. Lawson was
not wearing a seatbelt at
the time of the accident.
arkadelphia and Camden vying for Chinese paper mill
By Joe May
editor
The local timber industry
could be receiving a muchneeded boost if stories of a
Chinese wood pulp mill
prove to be true.
For some time now, locals
have whispered among
themselves about a Chinese
industry that is looking to
put in a peper mill in either
Arkadelphia or Camden.
According to Arkansas
Business, those rumors are
apparently true. That publication has reported that
Shandong Sun Paper
Industry plans to invest
about $1 billion in the construction of a plant that will
employ about 350 people,
not to mention numerous
logging contractors.
The plant will be located
at either Arkadelphia or
Camden and will produce
paper pulp to be exported
back to China. If local stories can be believed, it will
require about 400 loads of
logs per day to operate,
good news for loggers and
land owners in the area.
Clark County Judge Ron
Daniell acknowledged that
he had read the report in
Arkansas Business, but said
he was unable to comment,
noting that he and other
community leaders had
been sworn to secrecy,
which is standard procedure in industrial recruitment.
“I’m just not allowed to
talk about it,” he stated.
Camden once had a paper
bill, which was operated by
International
Paper
Company; however, that
plant was shut down and
the site leveled off several
years ago. Word on the

streets locally says that
company officials are eyeing a site across the
Ouachita
River
from
Arkadelphia, though it is
unknown just which locality will get the nod.
Just when an announcement will be made is not
known at this time. Several
officials in Arkadelphia and
Camden were excited last
week when Arkansas Gov.
Mike Beebe announced that
he would be revealing a
large industrial prospect
that was coming to
Arkansas. It turned out,
though, that the prospect
was a steel mill in Osceola.
According to Arkansas
Business, Sun Paper ai a
30-year-old
company
founded by its chairman, Li
Hongxin It produces close
to 3.5 million tons per year
of paper and board products, “including liquid
board packaging, electrostatic papers, coated graphic papers and copy papers
from around 15 subsidiaries
and facilities.”

Second lives
A friend of mine took off
to live across state this
weekend, leaving behind
her family and friends to
join a sister who is starting
over in life after a nasty
divorce.
I will admit the thoughts
of doing such a thing have
crossed my mind as well,
being the former traveler
that my regular readers
know about already. But the
big "R" is really not so bad,
once you get used to it.
Having a stable occupation,
in one part of the country,
having kids and grand kids
around you etc., it all
makes sense once you do it.
Well, it does to me anyway.
But at any rate, even if I
totally disagree with her
timing, I understand the
need to start over when
your world seems to have
gone stale. I did that back in
2004 when I came to
Gurdon, and I really am
glad I showed up here. I
had never been to this town
in my life and yet I accepted the job of being the editor.
Second lives need to be
started at a time that survival is necessary and a
time that does not hurt so
many people around you.
That is my take and why
my friend leaving her
daughter and grandchildren
to go to West Memphis hurt
me so bad. You see, I will
be one of those that sees the
sad faces she left behind.
Should she have gone in a
couple of years? Probably.
But now seemed like jumping the gun to me.
I also realize that I am not
her. Folks have to be true to
themselves first, and all of
that Shakespearean philosophy stuff. And it will be
OK. As we used to say in
one of my support groups, a
bad move may never be all
right, but it will be OK.
iN GurdoN
The sun has been shining a
lot her lately and boy am I
glad. I have been able to get
out and build my publication's advertising base with
reasonable success, I am
establishing some regular
news beats to fill it and as
far as me, I am feeling better all of the time. I attempted to quit some bad habits
and develop some new
ones.
Although that has been only
partially successful, I have
picked up a daily walking routine that seems to be making
my body feel better. I am doing
10 laps around City Hall
parking lot, five mornings a
week. It is really not so bad.
I look forward to the small,
old guy, work out. By the
way, I am not growing old
as your publisher put in last
week's headline on Just
John. I am simply getting a
bit more seasoned.
And now that this blasted
flu/croop is finally leaving
my body, I am enjoying life
once again.
Here is to health, wealth
and happiness, the three
pursuits that I was taught as
a youth would make me
smile in my old age. Maybe
so folks, maybe so.
I do know it feels good to
be making plans to work on
our property this summer,
and so far I have been making my car payments on the
Versa work car etc. Sure, I
have seen a lot worse days
than the ones before me

lately. Rich? Ị ot sure what
that means. Happy and stable? Yea, I think we are maybe
headed in that direction, borrowing any unforeseen life
experience wrecks.
City CouNCil
I attended the Gurdon City
Council last week and enjoyed
the meeting. After swearing in
city officials and passing a budget, the discussion evolved to
one about barking dogs. In a
small town, this is always a
problem that reoccurs. Dogs
bark. That is just the way it is.
As to the sleep interruption
kind, that tends to make people
lose their jobs or leave. I agree
that is disturbing the peace. If
the dog catcher and mayor can
not make a person see reason to
quiet their animal, or relocate
that animal, than, in my opinion, a disturbing the peace fine
is in order.
I agree with the City Council
that a specific ordinance about
barking dogs or crowing roosters would be unenforceable
and therefore a waste of time to
pass. But the disturbing the
peace threat might do the trick.
We will see if they take the
advice of this editor or not.
The reason I believe the way I
do is because I once had a dog
poisoned because he was barking and disturbing a neighbor's
sleep. I would much rather
have been told to quiet the dog
and threatened by the law
than to have had to bury
Buddy, which is what happened. Again, time will tell
how the City Council sees
it.
Basketball season is winding down. Our boys team
had a winning record this
year, and talent was on the
courts for the girls as well.
We almost took the conference championship, losing
to Blevins by just a hand
full of points.
With this past weekend's
sunshine, baseball is on the
minds of many. I saw a team
practicing at Cabe Field
Saturday. And those who like
race cars are gearing up.
I had two of my grand kids
with me this weekend as
well. Josh, my 6-year-old,
and I caught two lizards
and six minnows. The
lizards were in my yard and
the minnows at Gurdon
Pond. While searching for
the lizards, I noticed a few
flower buds already in
place. Spring is just around
the corner folks.
I am ready for some spring
fishing, and for getting
started on creating my own
personal Eden. We hope to
put siding and windows on
our house, tear down our
storage house and replace it
with a small storage building and a garden, and set up
a small rabbitry along the
back fence. When I grew up
on farm in Indiana, the rabbits were food and also natural fertilizer for our garden
and a natural worm bed for
going fishing.
I hope to set up something
similar for Michelle and I.
Ị ow just because we are in
our "second lives" and settling down more every year
doe not mean we are growing old. Are you buying that
yet or does the pitch need
work? Until next week,
this is Just John, still hanging out at Gurdon.
Four more years of socialism
looking for material, i find Martial
Every now and then when
no idea for a column hits
me over the head, I pull a
book from those I’ve
bought for such an occasion. The one I chose this
time
was
“4800
Wisecracks, witty remarks
and epigrams for all occasions,” edited by Edmund
Fuller, published by Avenel
in 1980. It came from a flea
market in Pensacola in
2011.
I was hoping to find something on February, but alas,
no
wisecracks,
witty
remarks, epigrams.
[“What is an epigram? A
dwarfish whole, / Its body
brevity, and wit its soul.”—
Samuel Taylor Coleridge].
I scoured the subject matter—not exactly what I was
hoping to find. I thumbed
through to “Writers” (surprise!) and made the discovery that said, “This is it!
This is it!”
Reading along, I came to
this entry (#6150) “Paulus
buys poems. Then Paulus
recites the poems as his
own, for what you buy you
may fairly call your own.”
Paulus was my last name
for 25 years; it is my children’s surname and the surname of four of my grandchildren. See why it hit
me? I looked to see the
author. “Martial.” But that
wasn’t all. Mr. Fuller chose
twenty-six of Martial’s epigrams to include in this
section.
Ị othing to do now but go
to
Wikipedia
and
Shades
of Home
by
Pat Laster
Encyclopedia Britannica
and find out who this
Martial was.
“Martial, Latin in full
Marcus Valerius Martialis
(born Mar. 1, ad 38–41,
Bilbilis,
Hispania
[Spain]—died c. 103),
Roman poet who brought
the Latin epigram to perfection and provided in it a
picture of Roman society
during the early empire that
is remarkable both for its
completeness and for its
accurate portrayal of
human
foibles.”
[Britannica]
“The works of Martial
became highly valued on
their discovery during the
Renaissance, whose writers
often saw them as sharing
an eye for the urban vices
of their own times. The
poet's influence is seen in
late classical literature, the
Carolingian revival, the
Renaissance in France and
Italy, and early modern
English and German poetry. With the growth of the
Romantic Movement, he
became unfashionable.”
[Wikipedia]
Here are a few more of
Martial’s epigrams. When
he mentions a person’s
name, I’ll give only the
first letter.
#6147: “He does not write

There's nothing practical

And a practical joke is

But only one part of

reads.”
#6154: “Why, simpleton,
do you mix your verses
with mine? What have you
to do, foolish man, with
writings that convict you of
theft? Why do you attempt
to associate oxes with
lions, and make owls pass
for eagles? Though you had
one of Lada’s legs you
would not be able, blockhead, to run with the other
leg of wood.” Even in
early, early Rome, folks
were name-calling!
#6155: “You give no
recitations, M., yet you
wish to pass for a poet. Be
what you please, provided
you give no recitations.”
#6159: “Why don’t I send
you my works, P.____? For
fear that you might send me
yours.”
#6165: “It is rumored,
F.___, that you recite my
epigrams in public, just as
if you had written them. I
will send you a copy of my
poems for nothing, if you
are willing that they should
pass as mine. If you wish
them to pass as yours, buy
them, so that they will be
mine no longer.”

If I'm lying, I'm dying.
We had rat killings and bird
thrashings back in the olden
times and since Jerry
Clower has already told
you everything there is to
tell about rat killings, I'll
just tell you about bird
thrashings. That is, since
birds are a lot more fun to
eat after the thrashing is
over.
In the spring of 1934, Dad
had gained possession of
his sixty-acre wilderness
(farmland covered in trees)
and certain clearing had to
be done to get his place
productive. He elected to
begin with a choice, gently
sloping south hillside and
soon had enough cleared to
sow a turnip patch. That
left about nine acres to
complete the intended tenacre field.
Money was so scarce that
hardly anyone had any, but
life went on. The men of
the Bethel community
wanted to have a two-week
or ten day singing school
for the youth and some
adults in the late spring of
1935 and they wanted Dad
to teach since he was an
excellent singing school
and voice teacher. The
usual price for a singing
school was $25 and since
they had no money, they,
knowing that Dad needed
that nine-acre new ground
cleared, came to him with a
proposition: They would
trade work at fifty cents per
day per man for 50 days'
man hours or until they had
the acreage completely
cleared and in neat brush
piles. Dad agreed with
them because he really
needed that field cleared
and in production. My job
was to carry water from our
spring to the workers. All
summer from time to time,
there was a crew of
Bardwells (Earl, Jim and
Ralph), Crews (Jim and
John),
Featherstons,
Huggins and others. By the
time they all had their crops
laid by, the land-clearing
activity really was in high
gear.
Woodsmen have a ready
eye and sense of what is
about them and they began
recognizing that there was
an abundant quail crop. It
had been unusually dry,
which is conducive to a
good hatch of eggs and
some pairs could even produce two clutches. As the
men progressed towards the
east end of the intended
clearing, they discovered
numerous roosting spots.
When Dad came around, I
heard one of them telling
them about it and suggested
that when they completed
the clearing on the first
really cold night they needed to have an old-fashioned
“bird thrashing.” Dad was
always agreeable to a sporting and fun event, so the
plan was made.
Ị ow all you folks who are
not sophisticated or experienced enough to know
about a bird thrashing,
allow me to enlighten you
in order that you may
understand and enjoy the
continuation of this story.
First of all, the brush piles
needed to be more or less
patterned to be tall and
arranged to allow plenty of
room around them. The

Preservation of downtown earns
arkadelphia honor as “city of distinction”
By Joe May
editor
Arkadelphia's efforts at
historic preservation in
Arkadelphia
downtown
have earned it the recognition as a “City of
Distinction.”
A special supplement from
Arkansas Business earlier
this month recognized several cities honored with the
award, which was sponsored by Crews &
Associates, the Arkansas
Municipal League and
Arkansas State Chamber of
Commerce/Associate
Industries of Arkansas.
Arkadelphia was recognized for Main Street
preservation in cities of
people,
5,000-20,000
according to a feature in the
magazine which interviewed Brooke Gregory,
community program coordinator
for
Southern
Bancorp Partners.
In August 2011, the
Arkadelphia Commercial
Historic District, which has
buildings dating as far back
as the 1870s, was recognized by the Ị ational
Register of Historic Places
as the city's first official
historic district.
The article notes that one
of the “key initiatives” to
helping revive downtown
included the city officials'
decision to lease the former
Royal Theater to the Clark
County Arts & Humanities
Council in 2011 for use as
the Arkadelphia Arts
Center, which the magazine
mentions “has been an
essential part of the downtown revitalization.”
The $25,000 grant that
funded an art mural on the
side of a building at 7th and
Main Streets was also a
factor in the revitalization
of downtown in that it
allowed local residents to
participate in the planning,
designing and painting of
the Art Deco mural.
In addition, twenty-five
businesses have taken
of
the
advantage
Facade
Downtown
Improvement Grant, which
is funded by Southern.
Businesses in that program
can receive up to $3,00 to
improve their storefronts.
Thus far, $130,000 has
been spent in the area,
Gregory noted.
The article was mistaken
in one area, noting that
“since residents voted in
2010 to allow alcohol sales,
a number of restaurants
have opened downtown.”
There are three restaurants
downtown. One has been
in business for two
decades, another opened
before the alcohol vote and
the third restaurant/bar was
announced before the alcohol vote took place in
Ị ovember 2010.

Matthews said, “I am

to meet Dr. Mike. He is an
incredible dentist, a fine
man and everyone will really like him.”
In addition, Kristi Bishop,
pictured below right, a
long time resident of

arkadelphia could see first traffic
roundabout, city manager says
By Joe May
editor
Arkadelphia cold possibly
see its first traffic roundabout by the end of the
year, says City Manager
Jimmy Bolt.
Bolt told city directors at
Tuesday evening's meeting
of the board that the city
has some uncommitted
funds that will either be
spent on additional lighting
in the downtown area or on
a traffic roundabout at the
junction of 10th and
Clinton Streets.
After the meeting, the city
manager explained that the
roundabout, which he
described as being “similar
to the square in Amity,”
would be a traffic circle
placed in front of Kentucky
Fried Chicken and would
take the place of the current
intersection.
Vehicles
would enter the one-directional circle from one of
four directions and would
go around it and exit off at
the street of their choice.
A grassy area in the center
could possibly hold a sign
officially welcoming visitors to the city coming in
from Highway 67 to the
downtown area, Bolt said.
“It would make an excellent gateway entrance for
our historic downtown,” he
said.
To create the roundabout,
property would be taken
from all four corners and
the area would be paved in
a circular fashion, Bolt stated.
The roundabout would
also be an aid should 10th
Street every be extended on
out, the city manager said.
Plans have called for the
street to be extended out as
far as Highway 67 South
for several years.
“It would be expensive,
but we have the funds,” he
said of the roundabout,
adding that the city has not
yet decided which project
to do, but noted that one of
the projects would be done
by the end of the year.
Should the city opt not to
construct the roundabout at
the present time, Bolt said
they will instead install
additional street lights on
several downtown blocks
beginning at Eighth Street
and heading east. This project would eliminate any
dark areas for pedestrians
walking at night, he stated.
In his report to the board,
Bolt updated the directors
on several projects that are
being undertaken in 2013.
Among the items mentioned were:
*The signing of the confor
the
latest
tract
Streetscape project.
*The meeting of several
community leaders to discuss the rash of violent
crimes that have been hitting Arkadelphia in the last
few months. Bolt said he
hopes to put together a
meeting that would include
police, city officials as well
as the presidents of both
universities and discuss
how officials can interact
with citizens regarding the
release of information.
As an example, he cited
the recent escape of an
inmate from the county jail.
During the several hours
that the suspect was on the
loose, officials alerted the
public via social media.
“We need dedicated
resources to let the public
know what is going on. We
need the public's help,”
Bolt said. “We live in an
instant age of technology
and a lot can happen.”
The city manager said the
university
presidents
should
be
included
“because this impacts their
enrollment.”
*A photo of the late
Arkadelphia Police Lt. J.R.
Daniels will soon be
unveiled to honor his service to the city at the police
station.
*The possibility of restriping Walnut, 23rd and 16th
Streets at a cost of $2,900.
Bolt said that before the
item is placed in the budget,
officials need to first see
what other projects, such as
paving are needed.
*Connecting the sidewalks from 13th to 22nd
Streets.
*Paving part of the Big
Bluff area.
*The fact that concealed
weapons are not allowed
inside Town Hall during
board meetings. Bolt said
Director Julian Jaeger has
expressed an interest in seeing the building declared a
gun-free zone. In his comments, Jaeger agreed and
noted that Arkansas law
identifies eighteen places
were weapons cannot be
carried.
*The need for a new water
contract with Caddo Valley.
Bolt said the city's rate
structure for water contracts needs to be revisited
to insure that the city is not
losing money.
*The fact that Caddo
Valley is now receiving a portion of its dispatch services
from the city. Because of this,
the smaller city has requested
that the money it pays be cut in
half. Bolt noted the contract
between the two cities still calls
for the APD to provide full
service to the CVPD.
*Bolt's staff is currently
working on a public event
policy for alcohol and nonalcohol events.
*A request from OBU students for the placement of
“mini-libraries” around the
area.
