Chief deputy arrested Spring Forward Coroner keeps promises article, p. 12 Saturday night! Letter, p. 7 The largest-circulated paper in clark, pike & Western Hot Spring counties The Standard © 2012 May Publishing Located in the heart of timber country Volume 17 number 6 On the square... published Without Fear or Favor Since 1996 Publisher Those smarter than me have long said that we are a product of our raising. A cursory look at oneself and those about us confirms this is generally a true statement. As we inch ever closer to the presidential election in Ị ovember, allow me to share some newly-gleaned information about our current president. Thus far, we understand that Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to a white American woman and a black Kenyan man, Barack H. Obama, Sr. The president was born in America, but did not stay here long until he was removed to indonesia, where his mother would later marry a native of that country, Lolo Soetoro and her young son, Barry, would, at least temporarily, adopt the name of his new stepfather. Schooled in the best private schools of that Muslim nation, young Barry Soetoro (as the documents filled out by his mother listed him) was listed as being of the Muslim faith and an indonesian citizen. He now lists his religion as Christian, but has acknowledged being raised in a Muslim setting. He would later return to America where he was raised during his teenage years by his white grandparents. in a campaign speech while running for president, he would later disparage his grandmother, whom he called “Toot” (Hawaiian for grandmother) See “editorial,” p. 2 Shopping for the Ranch Courtesy photo Clark County Farm Bureau Women's Committee CoChariman Karen Kirkpatrick is pictured with House Parent Teresa Fortner who is with the local Sheriff's and Youth Ranch.

(d) COUỊ TY ASSESSOR Attorney: Removal petition wrongly filed By Joe MAy EdiTOR The attorney for embattled Caddo Valley Mayor Alan dillavou says that he does not believe a petition filed last week calling for his removal is proper. Arkadelphia attorney Travis Berry told The Standard that a petition filed by Clark County deputy Prosecuting Attorney dan Turner seeking the removal of the three-term mayor does not come from the proper source. dillavou's removal is being sought after it was discovered that he was convicted in 1969 of theft in Texas when he was 22 years old. The mayor has said that he paid a fine for stealing a fire extinguisher off of a boat not long after he left the military. Clark County Prosecutor Blake Batson, following an investigation into the matter by the sheriff's office, had the paperwork filed based on an Arkansas statute that bars those convicted of certain crimes from holding public office. it was filed after dillavou refused an offer to resign. Berry, however, saying that he is not yet prepared to debate the merits of the case, said that his first concern was that the prosecutor's See “Mayor,” p. 2 Manning announces for JP 11 SPeCiAl to tHe StAndARd Larry Manning is announcing his candidacy for Clark County Quorum Court, JP district 11. A native of Clark County, Manning teaches in the Arkadelphia School System. He is married to Brenda and has two children and two grandchildren that live in Clark County. A teacher of 25 years, Manning tries to bring practical experience to his classroom and foster community service ideas with the students. Working with other teachers, he has helped to organize community-based beautification projects for his students and states, “These projects encourage volunteer service and pride in the community”. He recognizes the importance that our citizens place on education. “in order to prepare our students for the work force, we need to encourage them to complete their primary education and then help them seek out the secondary educational goals that suit their ambitions whether it is college or technical training.” in the classroom, Larry utilizes the team approach to teaching while drawing on all available researches to maximize the learning experience. He believes that there is an application of this approach to county government. “For our county to reach its potential, we must utilize all of our resources from the county while continuing to expand our teamwork with neighboring counties and state agencies.” Manning previously served on the Quorum Court in 2008 when he was appointed by Governor Beebe to fill a JP vacancy in his county district. He enjoyed working on the issues of Clark County and would appreciate the opportunity to serve again. “i consider it a privilege to participate in this election. We have a dedicated group of county officials, JP’s and employees that serve our county. i would be honored to work with these individuals for the betterment of Clark County.” Manning serves on the Clark County 4-H Board, the Clark County Farm Bureau Board, and has served on the Clark County Conservation district Board. He is a member of Third Street Baptist Church where he and his wife serve as Children’s department directors. Read us online for just $20 per year!

Asked if he felt dillavou was qualified to serve as mayor, Berry replied, “i don't know. Whether or not his conduct in 1969 would constitute an offense involving municipal interest or breach of trust, i don't know. i'm going to have to do some more research on that. i just know that it is my opinion that this is not in the proper forum.” “i like Alan dillavou,” Berry commented. “i think he's devoted several years of service and i know him to be a reasonable guy.

As for himself, Berry said it is not his desire to get into Caddo Valley politics. “i'm not going to get into the local political atmosphere,” he said. “i represent Alan and i love being a lawyer. i saw something that did not appear to be correct and i have devoted my life to upholding the law and that's what i'm doing.” Terry Jackson Hot SPRingS CoUnty COUỊ TY JUdGE Vernon R.

Were there ever so many trees and shrubs with white blossoms before? The daffodil festivals may be complicated this year, with some blossoms too early. in Camden, the festival is March 9-10. There are many other things to see: historic homes, the old cemetery, the Hale collection of log cabins, perhaps a re-enactment on the river of a Civil War battle. Ouachita County was formed in 1842 with the Fabre's county seat " (at % $%) (! Landing. ,in 1844, the seat was moved to Camden. At Wye Mountain, near the Wye Mountain United Methodist Church, the festival is listed for the month. The church began as a United Brethren in Christ in 1919, in 1946, it merged with another to become the Evangelical United Brethren and in 1968, this denomination merged with the Methodists to form the United Methodist Church. The Jonquil Festival at Old Washington Park near Hope is listed for March 16-18. There are many historic homes, the large magnolia tree, a restaurant, maybe a surrey ride and an old cemetery. Garvan Woodland Gardens in Hot Springs is advertising daffodil days through early March. There are always other interesting plants and bridges and trails. When Charline read that Julianne Moore would portray Sarah Palin in the HBO movie “Game Change” and that Moore had once been an actress on “As the World Turns,” she called to ask which character Moore had played on the daytime soap opera which began in April 1956 as a 30-minute pro- noRMA BlAnton gram. My “family history notes” indicated Julianne =7. "*0. played Sabrina Hughes and also a dual part as Frannie Hughes from 1986-88. The show was from 1-2 pm for many years until it ended in September 2010. “Game Change” will be shown at 6pm on HBO TV channel for two hours on March 10. Many present-day stars began on the soaps. ATWT was a good source of fashions for clothing and hairstyles, with Ị ancy Hughes and a few others being good role models, some not so good. My church group visited Leslie, Arkansas several years ago and i intended to return with someone who could load and unload a large rock for my patio. We visited the Leslie Mall, the Serendipity Bakery (which has old world sourdough brick-oven bread) some are fruit-filled loaves made with country French dough. This was once the world's larges barrel maker (during Prohibition) and was originally called Wiley's Cove for a chief of an unidentified indian tribe. There are outcroppings of Mississippi Age limestone and a limestone bluff for a mile along the highway a mile south of Leslie, up to about twenty-feet high. There was an Ozark Heritage Arts Center and Museum in a WPA-constructed building. i've ordered two loaves of bread from the bakery and it should arrive soon.

For those who have, it’s the idiot Road. There are deadly serious mushers in that race who are after that prize money, and a few of them will get it. But there are also the taildraggers. They know they won’t win. What they want to do, really, is finish this most difficult of all races. And more than that … to find out exactly what’s inside them. Thirty-nine years ago this week, that was me. i had seven dogs. The minimum that year. And i had to borrow two to make the minimum. Most teams were in the 12 to 16-dog range. This translates to putting a VW bug in the indy 500. Forget any prize money. The front runners have snow machines half a day ahead of them, packing trail. With packed trail, those teams can average something like 80 miles a day. Without packed trail, you’re lucky to get five miles, on snowshoes. And all it takes to turn a packed trail into snowshoe time is half an hour of wind. Home country Slim Randles down Home Columnist There have always been “recreational mushers,” like i was back then. i lived 12 miles from a road in those days, and for six months each year, the dogs got us back and forth to the village. They were basic transportation and basic family. But this race, this monujourney from mental Anchorage to Ị ome, makes a person want to hook up the dogs and head out. i wasn’t able to finish the race that year, 1973, because of an injury, and while i was on the trail, everyone passed me. And i guess it’s because of that that each March i say a little prayer for all the mushers and all the dogs, but especially for the recreational mushers, for the taildraggers. They’ll be out in the cold and the lonely longer than the winners, looking to find that certain personal something. Packed trail and fresh dogs, people. it’s a very long way to Ị ome. *** To buy Slim’s books, go to www.slimrandles.com What a week This past week out on the advertising and writing field has been difficult to say the least. i could go into extreme detail but i won't. i will, however, give you a couple or three examples. in Bryant, i waited six hours one day, seeing old clients and cold calls, hanging out at Mills Park and finally going to do the scheduled interview (keep in mind Bryant is more than an hour from my home) just to have the guy tell me he did not "feel like" keeping our appointment and for me to come back the following Tuesday to do his business review! i sucked it up and smiled at my customer, put the new date down on my calendar, got in my car and drove away. As i have probably shared in this column before, i have a 1995 Ford Taurus, six-cylinder, four-door, "perfect" machine. As my mechanic says, it sounds like a race car, has good tires, does not use oil so far and only has 183,000 miles showing! Anyway, me and my old light blue Ford left the parking lot there in Bryant and i decided to turn right and check on another client one more time before finding the interstate to go home. A car stopped suddenly to make a left turn in front of me. i stopped OK. The girl behind me and her small daughter stopped OK. But somebody behind her shoved her like a bumper car, which caused her car to shove my old car too. Ị obody was hurt and there is seemingly no damage to either one of our vehicles. The car who started the bumping conveniently disappeared quickly. i believe they call that hit and run. Ị either of us got a good description of the person who was not watching his driving. But its OK because me and the girl and her kid are all fine and our two cars still work fine. We exchanged information in case there was ever anything to come of the incident. We both have insurance so neither of us John nelson Columnist was scared to confront the cops. But we saw no need. So we went about our rat killing. i got on the interstate and headed home without further incident. Then the weekend passed and things got worse financially. i am telling you, last week was like somebody shut off the water. You could not even buy a full meal deal at Sonic with my tithes and offerings for the week! At any rate, i ran my route on Monday, anticipating the enjoyment of covering a Gurdon City Council meeting. There was no quorum and the meeting was canceled. So that is the extent of my examples. it got worse, but that is OK. You get the idea. My point today is simple, no matter how bad it looks, if you will hold onto God's hand you will make it somehow. i have a new business plan that will become evident over the next few months. So what do we do with hard times? Me, i try not to make big changes. i try to use the fine tuning button. i have found that profound changes usually result in disaster, but if you are unwilling to make a few adjustments in you business, personal life or whatever, then you will fall under that old Celebrate Recovery definition of insanity; "doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results." insanity never seems to help us much. But we all do it until we realize the futility of our ways. if we throw water into the wind, it will come back on you and give you a wet shirt... i do believe i am guilty of that a lot. But as i get older, when the fat lady begins to sing, i pray. i ask God to show me the fine tunings necessary to keep going, whether it is in my business, my marriage or my life in general. Political columnist tolerance for only some He doesn’t speak for all conservatives... he just thinks he does nature at its best and worst By deadline (Monday, 5th) i was struck by these beauties: japonica (firebush), forsythia (yellowbell), spirea, pansies, deep-red miniature nandinas, buttercups, heirloom double jonquils, blue-blossomed vinca, berried hollies, hyacinths, dianthus and the understated pink blooms of loropetalum. Yellow coins of dandelions are blooming underfoot, a portent of future infestation. Hen-bit greens up the yard until the grass begins growing. A yellow sheep shire bloom and stars-ofBethlehem are also visible in the grass—they may be considered weeds by some—and a lone grape hyacinth peeks from down low in the flower bed. The oxalis foliage is lush and there are several pink blooms in the hanging basket outside the south window. And thrift. How could i overlook the cascading thrift? Also, the redbud (Judas Tree) is turning fuchsia. And if that weren’t enough, the pear tree is blooming! inside, an old begonia (close to the south window) shows one lonely bloom, but four African violets—three blue, one pink—are splendid in their florescence. As warm as it’s been, it’s awfully tempting to begin putting the plants back out- Shades of Home by Pat Laster doors. But i know it’s too soon. The wind would whip them to pieces. Except for the mother-in-law’s tongue. it’s tall, heavy leaves would stand stoically as usual through any weather. We know folks like that, don’t we? Ị ature can show both its sublimity in the instances of plants and birds, and its destructive violence as experienced in tornadoes and floods. This time, central Arkansas received only gusty winds. Places in mid-country weren’t so lucky. At one point, according to newspaper wire reports, storms arrived so fast between last Friday and early Saturday that as many as four million folks were within 25 miles of a tornado. OTHER SUBJECTS: A recent news picture’s caption mentioned a turpentine farm. A new term for me, so i Googled it, discovering that in earlier years, yellow pine trees were cut into, the resin/sap dripped into boxes, which, when full, were taken to larger containers, then even larger ones and shipped to a distillery, thence to buyers. The online source Poet’s Corner deAtH iS tHe end ReSUlt oF dying...

A term found in an obit ended up in my journal: “Quartermaster Striker (Korean War).” Striker was the enigmatic word. in the list of US Ị avy Enlisted Rates/Ratings, i found the meaning. i think. “Sailors who go directly to a base, station or ship without specialized school training following recruit training are encouraged to select a career field. Through correspondence courses provided for self-study and on-the-job training (OJT), they may qualify for entry into a rating. This path is called "striking for rate." A seaman working in the deck department of a ship will by work assignment find herself most often in training for the deck rating of Boatswain Mate. Many "strikers" will venture into other departments to become a Yeoman, damage Controlman or Gunnersmate as openings occur. Many technical rating fields are restricted to formal school graduates and thereby closed to "strikers." Having experienced the width and depth of Ị avy life, most "strikers" become excellent petty officers.” Bob Palmer, editor (Sort of out of the frying pan and into the fire) Also, the sinners' sentences are forever, there's no paroles, But if the thought of dying scares you half to death, And yet, you claim to be a Believer, There is a distinct disconnect here! if so, it is way past time for you to initiate an interpretive Conversation with the the Trinity regarding your soul's status!

Reproduction without permission is prohibited. in June of 2009, President Obama gave a speech titled, “A Ị ew Beginning,” in Cairo Egypt to the Muslim worldwide community. Mr. Obama wasted no time fulfilling one of his campaign promises of defending Muslims’ religious freedoms. For example, in one part of the speech Mr. Obama said, “in the United States, rules on charitable giving have made it harder for Muslims to fulfill the religious obligations. That’s why i’m committed to working with American Muslims to insure that they can fulfill zakat. it is important for western countries to avoid impeding Muslim citizens from practicing religion as they see fit.” According to the islamic Relief Worldwide website, “Zakat is the third pillar of islam and an obligation for all Muslims. All Muslims who possess wealth above a zakat payable amount for one lunar year have to pay zakat, leading some to refer to it as a ‘social purifying tax’. As the aim of zakat is to ensure a greater equality in the distribution of wealth in society zakat payments can only be spent on specific categories which include the poor and needy.” Contrast this strong stance for freedom of religion for Muslims with Mr. Obama’s mandates in his signature Affordable Health Care for America Act (AHCA). That law mandates employers to provide free contraceptive, sterilization, and “plan B” pills for women, even religious organizations whose tenets of faith forbid them from providing these services and products. Cardinal Timothy dolan, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, called the mandate "an unwarranted, unprecedented radical intrusion." in a speech last week dolan said, "We're not trying to impose our teachings on anybody. We're simply saying, don't impose your teaching upon us and make us do as a church what we find unconscionable to do." Why is Mr. Obama insisting the Catholic Church obey his mandate in violation of the Church’s historical and ancient moral code? Why has he made a law abridging freedom of religion for the Church? The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing a constitutional challenge to another federal mandate that forces everyone to purchase health insurance. Twenty-six state Attorneys-General filed suit against the Obama Administration over the constitutionality of that mandate. Can the federal government force someone to buy something he doesn’t want to buy? That’s the question the Court will answer by early summer. Mr. Obama has told Catholic hospitals and other medical providers they must pay for free contraceptive, sterilization, and “plan B” pills for women. This is a dangerous precedent. if Mr. Obama can force any person or church to pay for anything that violates that entity’s religious conscience or beliefs, what might other administrations force on individuals and churches? What if some Bible loving, gun toting nut won the White House and mandated everyone in America had to buy pork at least once a week to stimulate the pork market? Mr. Obama began his presidency proclaiming his defense of Muslims’ religious freedoms, and he is ending his first term attacking the Catholic Church’s religious freedoms. There’s something very inconsistent about that!

Kadie is one of them. She’s on a family ranch in Montana. Both she and her husband share the calving duties in the spring, but cold windy weather plays havoc with her beauty regimen. Last Christmas she had clipped out an ad for a spa that included hot tubs, massage, pedicures, manicures and mud baths. She even posted a sample page from the ad on her bathroom mirror listing the services she might need. At 4:30am, one insomniac morning, she rose to check the heavy heifers. Her back ached and she couldn’t sleep. Might as well work. She pulled on her jeans, a wool shirt, rubber boots and a warm but ratty jacket. On leaving the house Kadie grabbed her flashlight and furry cap. The weather had warmed up to 35 degrees two days ago. Snow pack turned to mud. Thank goodness the wind was only 5-10 mph with gusts up to 20. The moon was covered by overcast but she knew the way. At the far end of the coral she saw a new-born calf laid out like a plank in the mud. He was shivering and shaking. This, Kadie reminded herself, is the reason we go the extra mile. To her, each cow and calf mattered. Mama cow was hovering over baby and was acting protective. Kadie sensed this and picked up a “be nice” stick along with the sled rope with the same hand, the flashlight being in the other. She loaded the ‘dead weight’ 80 lb, slick, wet, slimy lug of a calf onto the sled. it wasn’t easy, considering she was juggling the flashlight and tapping Mama’s snorting incursions with the stick. She only went down once in the slop, managing to soak her entire left side in the process. She wrapped the sled rope over her shoulder and leaned into the harness. The sled was sinking in the goop! it stuck! She tried again with a mighty tug, pulled the sled free and fell flat on her face!

Groups are found in 92 countries around the world. The Girl Scout Promise Girl Scouts at every age Today, girls can join Girl Scouts as early as 5 years old. Kindergarten and first-grade Girl Scouts are called Daisies. Second- and thirdgrade Girl Scouts are Brownies. Fourth- and fifth-grade girls are called Girl Scout Juniors. Girls in grades 6 through 8 are Cadettes, and grades 9 and 10 are Seniors. Girl Scout Ambassadors are girls in grades 11 and 12. A girl may join a troop, or she may just attend Girl Scout camp or go to a short-term session about something that interests her, such as sports or theater. Girls who move overseas can still be part of Girl Scouts through international programs. photo courtesy Girl Scouts of the USA On my honor, I will try: To serve God and my country, To help people at all times, And to live by the Girl Scout Law. What do Girl Scouts do? Girl Scouting introduces girls to three keys to leadership: sDiscover — become more aware of yourself and the world. sConnect — learn to get along with others and have healthy relationships. sTake action — learn to solve problems and think about the larger community and world. Girls develop these leadership skills by earning badges. For example, for an art badge, a Girl Scout might make a digital movie. Today, a hiking badge might involve geocaching, an outdoor treasure-hunting game that uses GPS devices to find hidden containers. The Girl Scout Law I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout.

A doctor tried an experimental treatment that caused her to lose most of the hearing in that ear. Later, when she married William, a piece of rice thrown at the couple at their wedding stuck in her good ear and pierced her eardrum. That ear also became infected, and she lost most of her hearing in it.

Broadway in glenwood Medications and Sleep Hours spent sleeping are critical to the proper functioning of our bodies during waking hours. Sleep is indeed essential for daily life. Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep occurs about every one and a half to two hours during sleep, and makes up approximately one-quarter of overall sleep time. Non-REM sleep is divided into three stages. Stage 1 is the time transitioning from being awake to sleeping. During this stage, the lightest sleep, accounting for only about 5% of total sleep time, occurs. Stage 2 is intermediate sleep, which accounts for approximately half of total sleep time. Stage 3 is known as deep sleep. A protective barrier for the brain, known as the blood brain barrier (BBB), regulates admission of substances into the brain. However, certain medications may cross the BBB, and in turn impact our sleep. Medications that influence the central nervous system (CNS) and may affect sleep include antidepressants and benzodiazepines. Doxepin (Silenor) is a type of tricyclic antidepressant that decreases the time it takes to fall asleep and decreases waking once asleep. Diazepam (Valium) and lorazepam (Ativan) are benzodiazepine medications that may be prescribed to treat insomnia or anxiety. These medications decrease the time it takes to fall asleep and also decrease the amount of time spent in the light sleep stage. davidson’s grocery HoursMonday-Friday 7am-6:30pm 7:00 am - 6:30 pm S Amity 870-342-9400 Williams Saw Co. located in Arkadelphia 758 Hwy. 8 E. in Amity A P IZRZO 870-356-4500 P 870-246-5872 CITGO South Central Arkansas Electric Cooperative shiny as long as it was in the wrapper, but after a bit of exposure to air and moisture, it began to oxidize and turn black. its usefulness was the same as over-with at that time, as far as we were concerned.

Within the advertisement the • Memphis, TN 38174-0298 promoters glorified the art of lying, deception, T backbiting and malicious intent among its participants. it seems that our society has become Alpine, Arkansas engrossed in the idea that such manifestations are 870-342-9227 acceptable, if not to be glorified. Such actions are common not only on television but in the daily existence of the populous. Even small children are seen manifesting these actions in their lives. Have you ever asked a child a question such as, “did you spill that milk?” and the child respond, “Ị o!” even though you witnessed the incident? Many wonder why our children lie about such things and where they learned to do this. The answer is such actions are so common in our society that these little ones do not understand it to be unacceptable. And people wonder what is happening to our world? God in his eternal and all knowing wisdom condemns such acts. God truly knows how destructive lying can be to a society. Under the Law given to Moses for the israelites God commands, “You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another (Leviticus 19:11). “You destroy those who speak falsehood; The LORd abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit” (Psalms 5:6). ”My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; He who walks in a blameless way is the one who will minister to me. He who practices deceit shall not dwell within my house; He who speaks falsehood shall not maintain his position before me. Every morning i will destroy all the wicked of the land, So as to cut off from the city of the LORd all those who do iniquity” (Psalm 101:6-8). “Lying lips are an abomination to the LORd, But those who deal faithfully are His delight” (Proverbs 12:22) and “A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who tells Buck’s Country Store State tournament action lies will perish” (Proverbs 19:9). Throughout the teaching of the Old Testament actions such as lying, deception, backbiting and malicious intent are condemned. The same is true in the teachings of the Ị ew Testament. The apostle Paul enumerates what is commonly called “the deeds of the flesh” in Galatians chapter five. Such actions as lying, deception, backbiting and malicious intent are found within this listing (Galatians 5:16-21). Paul also notes that those who practice such things, “…will not inherit the kingdom of God” (Galatians 5:16-21). in the Colossian letter, Paul notes the contrast between living an unrighteous life and a righteous life (Colossians 3:1-25). “But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth. do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him” (Colossians 3:8-10). John records the words of our Lord in Revelation concerning such actions: “But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death” (Revelation 21:8). it is a sad reality that many in our society stand opposed to God in their glorification of such actions as, “lying, deception, backbiting and malicious intent.” if an individual desires to receive the promise given by our Lord (Revelation 21:1-4) they will strive to cast such actions and attitudes out of their lives. Truth will set one free as untruth will condemn one to the abyss. your Ad Here! only $12 a week!

Ị ews that Obama had a nanny while growing up. Ị ow, since his family was one of privilege that might not be terribly shocking until we understand that his nanny was a male homosexual who dressed himself as a female. Again, i would invite you to check this out for yourselves. The Associated Press, while liberal, is a respected news source. All the information to this point may be found on respected news sites. it seems that at a cocktail party in 1969 Obama's mother, Stanley Ann dunham met an indonesian named Turdi, who like many in his nation goes by only She was one name. impressed by his cooking and hired him to work in her own home, where he soon became the caretaker for 8year-old Barry, a relationship that lasted until the early 1970s when the family moved. The purpose of the AP article was to point out the alleged plight for so-called “transgendered” individuals living in indonesia. in writing the article, Turdi, who calls himself Evie, said that while he never allowed the future president to see him in women's clothes, he did say the boy saw him trying on Ann Soetoro's lipstick and laughed at the sight. While living in the Soetoro house, Turdi would go out at night as a woman to seek his own kind. Believing himself to be a woman, he began identifying as such and after the Soetoro family left, began living as one until he became frightened following a government crackdown against such behavior. He now lives as a man inasmuch as the government is concerned, but is known for his behavior by those around him who call him by his female name and act as if he is a woman. in fact, in a stomach-churning move, the AP article consistently referred to him as a female. We never knew that gender was something subjective, but that is liberal values for you, i suppose. He/she/it hopes that Obama will bring change for his/her/its kind.

He called himself a constitutional law professor, yet the university he worked for said he only reached the level of “senior lecturer.” And now we learn that a homosexual had a hand in his upbringing. Frankly, if Barack Obama had been a white man with this sort of past, he wouldn't be where he is right now. Some say that's progress, but for myself, i find it particularly troubling. Just who is our president anyway? What else are we going to find out about this guy after the fact? in a time when deliberate leadership is needed to bring our nation back to its moral and financial foundations, we have at the helm a man who has been evasive about his past, friendly to domestic and foreign terrorists at the expense of our own country, sarcastic and at times dismissive about Christianity (check out his YouTube slurs against Christianity for yourself) but friendly towards islam, the religion of our enemies. He caters to homosexuals, a group whose activities are rejected by a majority of Americans and appears to put their rights above the rights of normal, God-fearing people. He has clearly shown that American values are not his own. Ị ever before in America have we elected someone of this character to our public office. He makes Bill Clinton appear truthful and Jimmy Carter appear competent. Barack Obama may well have the legal qualifications to serve as president, but the moral qualifications are not present. He is not like the rest of us, whether he can help it or not. if we love America as it is (or as it once was and can be again), it's our duty as patriotic Americans to step up to the ballot box this Ị ovember and purge our nation of this man and his backers before it is too late. This year, whether you like the GOP nominee or not, he simply must receive our votes. There is far too much at stake to leave it in the hands of our present administration. ABO: Anyone But Obama in 2012. *** Right-wing radio talk show host (we refuse to refer to him as “conservative”) Rush Limbaugh has once again managed to ruffle the feathers of the nation. We wouldn’t care so much what he says if it didn’t reflect so poorly on those on the right who seek to live godly. if you’ve ever listened to this self-styled “star,” then you’ll understand that godly is not a word that would be an apt discription. in his latest gaffe, Limbaugh, weighing in on the issue of whether contraceptives should be paid for by tax funds, referred to a glenwood Senior news The activities at the Glenwood Senior Activity Center are scheduled and built for the needs of people ages 60 and over to assist in adding interesting things to ones life and to help possible assistance in better health. We know that if one keeps active they live longer and enjoy life much more than if they just sit down at home and do nothing. At the Glenwood SAC on the first Tuesday morning of each month 2 representatives from the Pike County Hospice comes to the Center to take blood pressures and blood sugar levels for those that want that checked. Also there is an Exercise routine for those that wish to participate in that. Others gather to play cards, dominoes or shoot pool while others just enjoy visiting. Also on Tuesdays you can get help with income tax preparation or help with utilities but that is by appointment only and you must call the office at 870-356-4212 to learn make the appt. We will be distributing the Monthly Commodities on Tuesday, March 13th beginning at 8:30. On the last Tuesday of each month we are going to show an old movie at 9 AM. The movie for this month is Sea Bisquit.. The last Tuesday night of each month the CAdC Van takes those members that want to attend the singing at Alpine for an enjoyable evening. The Van leaves the Center at 5:30pm and gets back at 10 pm or so. There are a number of musicians & there is gospel singing and individual solos of other type of songs and afterwards they enjoy a pot luck snack. a female college student, Sandra Fluke who testified before Congress on the issue as a “prostitute” and a “slut.” Ị ow, any decent man who knows how to treat a woman doesn’t refer to a member of the fairer sex using those terms. it’s just poor form; however, Fluke, in asking that the government fund her promiscuity, left herself open to such crass monikers. Obviously, Fluke is not a prostitute, but the other term, while it shouldn’t have been said, may well have been more on target. One cannot stand up and beg for free sex paraphernalia and not expect to have her morals impuned. Limbaugh further said Fluke should share sex videos with the world. Poor form once more. But the question being raised is fair enough. Why should we be forced to pay for someone’s promiscuity? i don’t care if you are a man or a woman, fool around on your own dime. What’s next?

The offense is a Class B misdemeanor. The warrant, which was issued based on the statement of Tolleson’s ex-wife, states that Tolleson allegedly assaulted their son while visiting in her Hot Springs home. Hot Spring County Sheriff Chad Ledbetter said that as a result of the warrant, Tolleson has been placed on restricted duty while an internal investigation is conducted by the HSCSO.

Arkadelphia city board makes appointments By Joe MAy EdiTOR The Arkadelphia Board of directors, in a short meeting Tuesday evening, made several appointments to boards and committees and approved the second reading of an ordinance that will allow chickens to be kept in Arkadelphia. City Manager Jimmy Bolt recommended that Randall Turner and Rick Mays be nominated to the Public Educational Facilities Board. director Scott Byrd asked about the nature of the board’s function. “it’s OBU,” Bolt replied, explaining that since Ouachita Baptist University is a private college, the city has partnered with it to allow the university it to use the muncipality’s borrowing power. Bill Fowler and Brett Powell were nominated to serve on the city’s Water & Sewer Committee and Anna Eudy was nominated for the Planning Commission. Herman L. Thomas was nominated to serve on the Racial & Cultural diversity Committee.

The seminars through HSU SBTdC cost $250.00 per class--thanks to the sponsorship from Ị ick & Rachel Fowler of Fowler Auctioneers, 20 people attended the Facebook ABC’s for Business & Tourism seminar recently in Glenwood. Upwards to 9 people is a very successful seminar in Hot Springs. Glenwood and Murfreesboro came together and went far above and beyond. There is a lot of opportunity for development in the Pike County area and we are looking forward to a continued partnership with those progressive businesses. These seminars are a great way to help the businesses of our area with their social media marketing. Our center hopes that this is also letting the businesses of Pike County learn about and understand what we do. We are here to help them in all aspects of their work, and hopefully we will start great relationships with these businesses.” Advisory Committee. All the nominations were accept unanimously. Bolt also noted there is still two vacancies on the Racial & Cultural diversity Committee. Sanitation director donnie Manning then addressed the board to present bids for three pieces of equipment needed in his department. The first item was a tractor to pull the city’s new transfer trailer. Manning recommended that the city accept a $113,640 bid from Tri-State Truck Center in Little Rock. The second item was a compactor for the trash transport system. Manning recommended the city accept a $61,248 bid from downing Sales & Services of Phillipsburg, MO. The third items was three trailers to be used to transfer waste. Manning recommended the city accept a bid of $240,447 from Spector Manufacturing, inc. of St. Clair, PA. All three bids were accepted unanimously. Bolt then presented an ordinance that would allow the city to finance the sanitation department purchases with a monthly payment of $6,652. The loan would be through Regions Bank and would be at a 2.02% interest rate. At the motion of directors Chuck Hollingshead and Roland Gosey, the motion carried unanimously and was put on an emergency clause to take effect immediately. The board then approved the second reading of an ordinance that would allow for the keeping of chickens in town. The motion passed with directors Hollingshead and Terry Sims casting the only negative votes.
