Michael Hix
to headline
annual event
NASHVILLE – The annual Stand Up for
America celebration presented by the Nashville Chamber of Commerce will be held Friday
at the City Park beginning at 6 p.m. Tickets for
children three to 12 years of age will be $3 and
the cost for those 12 and up will be $5. Special
seating in the front is $10. Children three and
under get in free.
A tribute to area veterans will be held at
6:00 p.m. followed by a concert starting at 7
p.m. Michael “the Entertainer” Hix will be the
headlining act.
Hix has been interested in music since
he was young. His grandfather played with
Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys while Hix
was growing up. According to him, he was
“forced to listen to all types of music” during
his youth because of his grandfather’s interest
in country western and his parents’ interest in
rock and roll oldies. This wide range of music
is what shaped this pop/rock/soul singer into
the entertainer that he is today. When he was
14, he started his first band and never looked
back. He has been performing professionally
since age 17.
His has performed with superstars such as
Bret Michaels, George Jones, Loverboy, and
countless others. He has also lent his talent
to acting, producing and emceeing. Hix’s first
album, titled “Green Light,” was released in
2011 and he has another in the works as of
this year.
Man accused of
negligent homicide
found fit to proceed
CHARLES GOODIN
Editor
NASHVILLE - A local man
accused of negligent homicide who was previously
found not fit to proceed has
been approved to face trial
for the charge.
Al Bullock, 56, was committed to the Arkansas State
Hospital in November of
last year after being found
unfit for court during a mental evaluation. Bullock appeared in Howard County
Circuit Court Wednesday
and was ordered to return
to court Sept. 24 for pre-trial
proceedings. His trial date is
set for Sept. 30.
The allegation against
Bullock stems from a June
2012 vehicle accident that
occurred at the intersection
of Highway 27 and Highway 27B. Court documents
indicate that Bullock was
operating a 2001 Dodge Ram
Park to
host night
photography
workshop
Crater of Diamonds State Park
in Murfreesboro will
host a night photography workshop Sat.,
July 12 from 7 until
9:30 p.m. The event
is scheduled to take
place in the enclosed
pavilion area of the
mine, and will cover
the basics of low
or no-light digital
photography and
light drawing before
attendees head outside to practice. Participants should have
a working knowledge
of manual camera settings, wear
comfortable walking
shows and bring a
tripod and lashlight.
Dark colored clothing and a remote
shutter release are
also helpful but not
required.
Admission to the
workshop is $20
per person, which
includes a $10 registration fee due by
July 9. Space is limited, but a minimum
number of participants is required in
order for the event
to take place. For
more information,
contact the park at
285-3116.
At this coming show, Hix’s high-energy
performance will include originals and big
band numbers with some comedy and impersonations thrown into the mix.
“You may hear anything from Michael
Jackson to Frank Sinatra,” said Hix. “I try
to do things that are appealing to all of the
audience.”
Hix said that he likes to pay tribute to the
veterans in all of his acts. At Stand Up for
American, he plans to do several patriotic
and gospel songs.
“I’m extremely looking forward to it,” Hix
enthused. “It’s a great opportunity for myself.
I’m all about building my crowd and I’ve never
been to Nashville. The way I look at it, it’s a
great place to be with great people to be in
front of.”
He raved about the town’s hospitality and
said, “Everybody I’ve dealt with has been so
nice.”
After Hix’s concert, which should conclude
at approximately 9:30 p.m., there will be a
closing fireworks display.
There will also be a voter’s registration
drive beginning at 6 p.m. and lasting the duration of the event. A booth will be set up and
members of the democratic committee will
assist the public in filling out voter registration forms.
It is open to all political affiliations in response to the number of perspective voters
that can be lost after the forms are filled out
incorrectly, sent back for correction then
rarely completed.

yield the right of way and
attempted to make a left
turn onto State Highway
27 directly in the path of a

“As a direct result of his
actions, both passengers in
Mr. Bullock’s vehicle were
killed in the collision,” Arkansas State Police Officer
Jamie E. Gravier wrote in
an affidavit attached to the
case file.
Samples of Bullock’s
blood were later collected
at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital
in Hot Springs and submitted to the Arkansas State
Crime Lab in Little Rock.
In August of 2012, police
said the laboratory analysis
revealed that cannabinoids

Bullock’s system at the time
of the accident.

Special session for
teacher insurance to
produce mixed results
Prison overcrowding,
lottery expansion also
to be addressed
Starting Mon., June 30, the Arkansas Legislature will
convene at the Old State House in downtown Little Rock
for yet another special session to further address the ongoing issue with increases regarding our state’s teacher
insurance premium rates. This session comes just eight
months after the Arkansas
legislature convened in a special session to create a shortJEssIca
term solution to the matter
dELOach
whereupon it ultimately
News
voted to allocate $43 million
Columnist
from the state’s surplus of
$169 million to stave off the
$53 million deficit causing health insurance premium increases to our state’s
public school teachers and public employees. Teachers
and public employees utilizing the insurance plan would
be left to face a 10 percent premium increase in order
to make up the difference in the shortfall. These efforts
brought about a temporary solution to the otherwise
enormous premium increases these employees would
have faced on Jan. 1. While these efforts were understood to be preliminary measures to address an ongoing
issue, the matter was most likely to be addressed again
during the 2015 legislative session.
Arkansas lawmakers are now reconvening over the
next three days to address a $36 million shortfall in the
insurance program. A legislative task force led by State
Senator Jim Hendren (R-Gravette) and co-chair State
Representative Harold Copenhaver (D-Jonesboro) has
proposed various means by which the ongoing funding
issues may be addressed but also admit that the efforts
are still only temporary and that efforts to produce a
long-term solution are necessary.
Current proposals include removing thousands of
part-time workers from the insurance plans that many
school officials view as a major incentive to attract
such necessary workers to otherwise unattractive
labor. These individuals would ultimately be moved
to traditional Medicaid, the state’s Private Option plan
or onto the exchange. During a recent appearance on
KARK Channel 4’s Sunday morning show “Capitol View,”
State Senator Jim Hendren discussed creating a more
equitable balance between many of the plans held by
teachers. “We’ve had some mispricing of our plans. We
have 10,000 people paying $11 a month for a bronze
plan. That’s completely out of line with what that plan is
valued at and is worth and is comparable in the marketplace, so that plan is going to be priced more appropriately at sixty to seventy dollars. So you can say that’s a
four or five-hundred percent increase or you can say it’s
a “$50 a month” increase. It sounds different. But outside
of that, we would actually see some decrease in premiums on some of the higher quality plans. The gold plan
could see some significant premium decreases because
it has been overpriced to account for the underpriced
bronze plan.”
Removal of spouses who qualify for coverage outside
of the insurance program from teachers as well as the
discontinuation of coverage for certain medical procedures has also been proposed.
Other issues to be taken up during the special session
include allotting $6.3 million in new money to open up
more prison beds in an effort to curb overcrowding and
early releases as well as funding to county jails for the
costs of housing state prisoners. The legislature will also
address whether or not the Arkansas State Lottery may
expand its game offerings through electronic monitor
systems to its customers.

What’s in a name?
Amanda Blackhorse, a Navajo who successfully moved a
federal agency to withdraw trademark protections from the
Washington Redskins because it considers the team’s name
derogatory, lives on a reservation where Navajos root for the
Red Mesa High School Redskins. She opposes this name; the
Native Americans who picked and retain it evidently do not.
The Patent and Trademark Office acted
on a 1946 law banning trademarks that “may
disparage” persons. “May” gives the agency
latitude to disregard evidence regarding
how many people actually feel disparaged,
or feel that others should feel disparaged.
Blackhorse speaks of “the majority of Native
American people who have spoken out on
this.” This would seem implausible even if
a 2004 poll had not found that 90 percent of
Native Americans were not offended by the Redskins’ name.
A 2013 AP-GfK poll showed that 79 percent of Americans of
all ethnicities opposed changing it, and just 18 percent of
“nonwhite football fans” favored changing it.
The federal agency acted in the absence of general or
Native American revulsion about “Redskins,” and probably
because of this absence. Are the Americans who are paying
attention to this controversy comfortable with government
saying, in effect, that if people are not offended, they should
be, so government must decide what uses of language should
be punished?
In today’s regulatory state, agencies often do pretty much
as they please, exercising discretion unconstrained by law.
George Washington University law professor Jonathan
Turley notes that in 2004 the Federal Election Commission
held that the anti-George W. Bush movie “Fahrenheit 9/11”
did not need to be regulated as an “electioneering communication” but in 2008 held that the hostile “Hillary: The Movie”
was such a communication. In the regulatory state, the rule
of law is the rule that law barely limits regulators’ discretion.
Although the death penalty clearly was not considered
a “cruel and unusual” punishment when the Eighth Amendment proscription of such punishments was adopted,
perhaps society’s “evolving standards of decency” have
brought this punishment under the proscription. Standards
of decency do evolve: No sports team launched today would
select the name “Redskins.” Although Thomas Sowell is correct that “some people are in the business of being offended,
just as Campbell is in the business of making soup,” the fact
that some people are professionally indignant does not mean
offense may be given promiscuously to others.
The name “Redskins” is more problematic than, say, that
of the Chicago Blackhawks or Cleveland Indians presumably
because “Redskins” refers to skin pigmentation. People offended by this might be similarly distressed if they knew that
“Oklahoma” is a compound of two Choctaw
words meaning “red” and “people.” Blackhorse, however, has two larger objections.
GEORGE
She says “someone” once told her that
WILL
teams’ mascots “are meant to be ridiculed,”
Washington “to be toyed with,” “to be pushed around
Post
and disrespected” and “have stuff thrown at
them.” She should supplement the opinion of
that someone with information from persons
more knowledgeable. But she considers “any
team name that references Native Americans” an injurious
“appropriation of our culture.” Has an “appropriation” been
committed by the University of Utah and Florida State University even though they have the approval of the respective
tribes for their teams’ nicknames, the Utes and Seminoles?
William Voegeli, a senior editor of the Claremont Review
of Books, writes that the kerfuffle over an NFL team’s name
involves serious matters. They include comity in a diverse
nation, civil discourse, and “not only how we make decisions,
but how we decide what needs to be decided, and who will
do the deciding.”
Time was, Voegeli writes, a tolerant society was one with
“a mutual nonaggression pact”: If your beliefs and practices
offend but do not otherwise affect me, I will not interfere with
them if you will reciprocate regarding my beliefs and practices. Now, however, tolerance supposedly requires compulsory acknowledgment that certain people’s beliefs and
practices deserve, Voegeli says, “to be honored, respected,
affirmed and validated” lest they suffer irreparable injury to
their sense of worth. And it requires compelling conformity
for the good of the compelled.
When two Oregon bakers chose, for religious reasons,
not to provide a cake for a same-sex wedding, an Oregon
government official explained why tolerance meant coercing
the bakers: “The goal is to rehabilitate.” Tolerance required
declaring the bakers’ beliefs and practices intolerable. We
are going to discover whether a society can be congenial
while its government is being coercive regarding wedding
cakes and teams’ names.
Is Hillary inevitable?
Looking back over the last century there were two great
coalition builders in presidential politics: FDR and Richard
Nixon.
Franklin Roosevelt broke the Lincoln lock on the presidency that had given Republicans the White House in 56 of
the previous 72 years. From 1932 to 1964, FDR's party would
win seven of nine elections.
Nixon broke through in '68 and built the New Majority that
gave the GOP the White House for 20 of the next 24 years.
The Nixon-Reagan coalition, however, has
aged and atrophied.
Pat
In five of the last six presidential elections,
the Democratic nominee won the popular Buchanan
vote. And no fewer than 18 states, including
Creators
four of the most populous — California, IlSyndicate
linois, Pennsylvania and New York — have
gone Democratic in all six of those elections.
Also, four states crucial to victory and
once regarded as reliably Republican — Florida, Ohio, Virginia and Colorado — have turned purple.
The GOP is also facing a demographic crisis. White folks,
who provide almost 90 percent of Republican votes in
presidential years, are steadily shrinking as a share of the
electorate.
Is Hillary thus inevitable?
With the cash she can raise and the support of the sisterhood, she may be able to clear the field in the run for the
nomination. And in a general election it is hard to see which
Republican today could take 270 electoral votes from her.
Yet the lady has vulnerabilities. If elected, Hillary would
be, at 69, the oldest Democratic president ever. Husband Bill
was nearly a quarter of a century younger when inaugurated,
as was Barack Obama.
Her book tour for "Hard Choices," with her tale of woe
about having been "flat broke" in 2001, revealed a queen of
privilege wildly out of touch with the hard realities of life in
Middle America in 2014.
Moreover, there is Clinton fatigue in the country and this
capital. Americans under 30 never knew a time when she
was not around.
Her memoir looks likely to be remaindered long before it
earns her publisher anything near the $14 million advance
she is rumored to have received. Somebody at Simon &
Schuster is going to the wall.
And the Democratic left is pawing the turf.
Is her record in office impressive?
The most critical vote she cast in eight years in the Senate — to take America into war with Iraq — she now admits
was a mistake. And it's not an insignificant one, considering
the disaster that is Iraq today.
Her record as secretary of state?
The most memorable moment was announcing the "reset"
with Russia.
How's that working out?
Not only must Hillary answer for the failures that brought
about the Benghazi massacre, and her absenteeism in its
aftermath, but she must also defend a foreign policy that has
left her country less respected on every continent.
While most Americans support President Obama's
decisions to end the U.S. wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan, there is something about his
leadership on the world stage that calls to
mind the Carter era.
And while there is no end to the chatter in
this city of the clash within the GOP between
the establishment and the Tea Party, there
are fissures and fractures visible as well in
the Obama-Clinton party.
As a wag once observed, the Democratic Party is a
conclave of warring tribes that have come together in the
anticipation of common plunder. But the old formula dating
to FDR days, of "tax and tax, spend and spend, and elect and
elect," may have run its course.
The U.S. government is deep in debt and moving deeper.
State capitals have hit the wall, forcing painful decisions to
cut spending on education or pensions, or to raise taxes.
Even in the bluest states, governors like Jerry Brown in
California and Andrew Cuomo in New York have gotten the
message. The halcyon days are over. Frugality is in.
While the nation has been pulled back from the abyss of
2008 and 2009, the five-year Obama record since, with its
massive deficits, soaring debt, anemic growth, and diminished share of the labor force working, is nothing to write
home about.
Add in the NSA, IRS and VA scandals, and this is the kind of
record candidates usually run away from, rather than run on.
While African-Americans and Asians are among the most
loyal Democratic blocs, in California, Asians arose in angry
protest to kill a proposed law to reinstate affirmative action
in state schools. For Asians are now among the major victims
of reverse discrimination.
Ms. Clinton says she has "evolved" on same-sex marriage.
Have the conservative black pastors and preachers of the
most churched community in America also evolved? How
comfortable are black Christians in a party half of whose
convention delegates booed when it was suggested that God
be mentioned in the 2012 platform? No. The presidency in
2016 is not beyond the reach of the GOP.
It is just difficult to see who, among those moving toward
the starting gate, can reach the requisite 270 electoral votes.

MURFREESBORO - Emily
Martin celebrated her 95th
birthday Friday. Her friends
and family threw a party
at the Children and Adult
Development Center in Murfreesboro that morning to
commemorate her long life.
“I don’t feel no older,”
Martin said. “I just know I
can’t get around as good as
I used to.”
She was born in Roy, just
outside of Murfreesboro
and is the oldest and only
living of six children. On
Aug. 1, 1936, she married
Steve Martin, a serviceman.
Three years later, the couple
welcomed their son, who
passed away in the 80’s.
“We lacked one day being
married for three years when
he was born. I would’ve liked
for him to be born on our
anniversary, but I was glad
when it was over because it
was so hot in August,” Martin reminisced.
S h e m o v e d a ro u n d
throughout her life before
settling in Murfreesboro in
1955.
Martin worked in the
town’s school cafeteria for
13 years. Before that, she
was employed for nine years
at the Heritage motel when
it was still named “Tave’s
Motel.” In Martin’s 95 years
of life, she has witnessed the
first time Murfreesboro got
electricity as well as the first
telephone and television.
“She has done her cooking from a cast iron wood
stove to oil stoves to gas
stoves to electric stoves,”
said brother-in-law Travis
Gregory.
Martin still dabbles in
cooking, but not as much
as she once did. She enjoys

Man suspected in fatal shooting makes first court appearance on charges
D.E. RAy
Managing Editor
NASHVILLE – A local
man implicated in a homicide on South Main Street
in Nashville made his first
appearance before a judge
in relation to that crime on
Wednesday in Howard County Circuit Court.
Gary “Chick” Swift, 49,
was arrested in connection
with a homicide which occurred Saturday, June 21.
According to police reports,
Pam Harris, 44, of Nashville,
was killed in an incident
which occurred on the 1200
and 1300 block of South Main
Street.
The affidavit of arrest alleges that Harris was sitting
with a neighbor when Swift
approached in his white
Chevy pickup truck. The
neighbor reportedly told
Harris to leave, and Harris
got into her maroon Chevy
SUV. Swift reportedly then
exited his truck, opened the
tool box, and approached
Harris’s vehicle with a bag
and a pistol.
Police wrote in the affidavit that Swift then approached the vehicle and
stated that he intended to
kill the victim, reaching in
through the driver’s window
and firing several shots.
The vehicle then sped away
across the street and collided
with a garage structure at a
residence across the street.
Swift then reportedly fled
the scene in his truck, and
was later arrested in the
Clow area. The affidavit alleges that during a subsequent interview that Swift
admitted to shooting Harris,
and to throwing the gun from
the window of his vehicle as
he was fleeing.
Swift reportedly has a
prior conviction for battery
in the first degree stemming
from a 1988 incident.
Swift will return to court
for arraignment on July 9.

Oh, Lord, you gave this ranch to me.
I don’t own a stick of it, but it’s mine.
I know it better than anyone,
Every ledge, edge, hedge, boulder, rock and stone.
I know the highest point in each pasture.
I know where the cows hide.
I know the first tank dam that fills every year.
I’m the only one who can start the water truck
when it freezes.
I know where the only pasture gate is in two miles
of fence between the Canary and the Beacon.
I know whether to take a jacket when we saddle
up.
You could drop me down in the middle of this
ten-section piece blindfolded on a good horse and I’ll
find my way home.
I know where you can stick your gooseneck in
sand up to your wheel wells.
I know how long to leave the generator going to fill
up a ten thousand gallon tank.
I know how many 400 lb calves will fit in a 20’
trailer.
I know the combination to every lock on the place.
I can remember when the canyon was a rivulet.
I can remember which calf goes with which cow.
I can remember when the man who owns the
ranch lived here.
I carry a runnin’ iron for calves born after the
brandin’. We have four brands on the place.
I carry pliers in the saddle bag to fix the fences
that the illegal immigrants cut through.
I don’t drink enough water.
I don’t use sunblock when I should.
I’ve lost several ropes over the years. I wonder
where they go?
I wear out my boot soles but not the heels.
I’ve got leggins, chinks and bat wings depending
the weather.
My hat holds water.
My gloves last about 3 months, if I don’t lose’m.
I know which horses to trust and which ones to
watch.
I have relived Charlie Russell’s painting “Bronc to
Breakfast” more times than I can count.
I can braid, rivet, hammer, shape, tape, tear, shoe,
clip, cut, bob, whistle, dig, tip, snip, snap, and call the
welder when I need to.
I’m indispensible and I’m the first one they let go

Summer a time for planning
Livestock producers
should take advantage of
any slack time during early
summer to plan their fall
marketing strategy, says
Dr. David Fernandez, Cooperative Extension Program
livestock specialist at the
University of Arkansas at
Pine Bluff. Producers have a
variety of options. Each has
its advantages and disadvantages.
Most familiar and easily
accessible is the livestock
auction. Auctions have regular sales, and market reports
give an idea of how much to
expect. But, prices can differ
weekly depending upon the
number of buyers present,
the number of animals to
be sold and the size of the
animals the market demands
at that time, says Fernandez.
Animal quality is often of
secondary importance.
Some small farmers may
prefer to sell their animals directly to the public through
on-farm sales. Producers
who do so should be prepared to negotiate directly
with the end consumer. Producers will capture more
of the retail price of the
meat, but they must have the
type of animal the customer
wants when they want it,
says Fernandez.

NASHVILLE - Two individuals arrested on drug charges plead guilty Wednesday
in Howard County Circuit

Charles and Elizabeth
Bufkin were arrested in November of 2013 following a

recovered a black box with
two small baggies containing
suspected methamphetamine, according to police
reports.
Charles Bufkin has been

Friends, family and former
employees comment on Stueart
D.E. RAy
Managing Editor
NASHVILLE – The passing
of many a person goes little
remarked upon. The obituary is written and printed.
An epitaph is carved on a
stone. The family and close
friends grieve. And often,
that is the end.
In the week since the
publication of the obituary
of Burl Stueart, though, The
Nashville News has received
contact from numerous people with their thoughts, and
stories and memories.
Perry Rice, longtime milk
distributor who supplied
Stueart’s grocery store, took
time to mention Stueart’s
greatness of spirit. “He was
a super fellow, would go
out of his way to help you
anytime,” Rice said, adding,
“He was a great gentleman.”
Others spoke on Stueart’s
integrity. “I worked for him
for 18 years. They were the
most memorable years of my
life. He was the most honest
man I’ve ever met,” said Ray
Fendley, with obvious emotion in his voice.
One of the more insistent
voices was Dave Smith,
who said of Stueart, “He

in 2006.
“I’ve been very fortunate to get good clientele in
Nashville,” Britt said. “In any
sort of small town you’re
going to have to have some
sort of clientele [customer
base].”
However, according to
Britt, the customers didn’t
just come crashing down
the door on opening day. It
took hard work and dedication to build the loyal customers that her business
required in Nashville.
“Day-in, day-out, all time,
I was [at the salon],” Britt
said. “I was there constantly
for 5 years, did not leave the
place. I lived there.”

that she can be headstrong

times, success in the beauty

commitment and a high
level of dedication to her
customers’ satisfaction.
“I like to make people feel
and look beautiful,” Britt
said. “I want to make that
person look the best that
they can. I want their color
to go with their eyes and
their skin, to make a good
natural, all-around look.”
Four years ago, Britt decided to widen her fashion
specialty by expanding into
the clothing business. Today, roughly half of her sales
are generated by clothing
purchases from her boutique.
According to Britt, the
wide variety of clothing in
her stores is influenced by
her passion of traveling.
Every year, Britt and her
mother go on another adventure around the country,
often stopping at boutiques
to see what new and interesting things she can bring
back to her stores.
However, according to
Britt, when people come
in to get their hair done or
shop for clothes, they want
more than just the latest
look or fashion.
“A business like [the sa-
lon] is all about personality,” Britt said. “Anyone who
comes in who wants to do
their hair or buy makeup or
get clothes, they want someone enjoyable. They want
someone they can relate to,
not some Debbie-downer.
They want good, personable
and energetic vibes.”
Mackenzie Erwin, who
works part time at the salon
when she’s not teaching at
the Howard County Children’s Center, said that it is
Britt’s outgoing personality
that makes Salon Britt 218
such a special place.
“She makes it a lot of fun,”
said Erwin. “I actually enjoy
working here.”
Britt stated that she takes
in to account charisma and
character when she makes
hiring decisions. Just three
months ago, she decided to
take on Jonie Evans, a hairstyling professional with
12 years experience who
graduated from Hot Springs
Community College with a
degree in cosmetology.
“I love to talk to people. I
want them to feel welcome
and comfortable,” Evans
said of her time working
with Britt. “We can all joke

Customers of Salon Britt
218 show an equal amount
of satisfaction with the
atmosphere. Cassandra
Aydelott, a brand new client
of Britt’s salon, said that she
had heard the salon was a
great place not only to get
your hair done, but to meet
nice people.
“It’s a good environment
in here,” said Aydelott. “Everybody has a smile on their
face.”
Today, Britt seeks to take
that personable, comfortable Nashville environment
to Hot Springs. Although
she sells styles from around
the state and country, she
still keeps it local and fun
with her small-town friendliness and her outgoing
personality. For information

Replacement of chlorinator structure leads discussion at NRWA meeting
D.E. RAy
Managing Editor
NASHVILLE - Nashville
Rural Water Public Authority
director Ryan Stuckey spoke
about efforts to replace a
structure damaged by fire
to the group’s board during
their regular meeting Thursday evening.
The small building, which
housed only the chlorinator at the Chapel Hill water
tower, caught fire due to a
malfunctioning heater, Stuckey told the board. The fire
occurred on May 23, with the
Nashville Fire Department
responding. Though the fire
was quickly snuffed, the four
foot by six foot structure
was lost. He reported that
chlorination was resumed
quickly thereafter and testing showed that water chlorine levels in the system was
adequate at all times.
He estimated that the
building would be replaced
within the next couple of
weeks. At the same location,
the group has replaced bearings in several pump motors.
Stuckey reported that NRWA
was the first water group
using those pumps to recognize that the bearings supplied by the manufacturer
were not sufficient for the
use the motors were being
put to.
Board president Mark
Dowdy reported that revenues for the group were
down slightly on the previous year, as the area has
received a greater amount
of rain this year. He also
stated that this was partly
mitigated by a reduction
in loss due to leaks, which
reduces expense.
The final major action of
the meeting was the signing
of a legal services agreement
with the group’s attorney,
Todd Turner of Arkadelphia.
The agreement authorizes
Turner to negotiate on behalf of the NRWA to finalize
negotiations with USDA for
the project the group has
pursued for several years
to extend services in the
Muddy Fork area.
The board then held a 45
minute executive session to
discuss a personnel issue,
which resulted in no action.

Special session cuffs and hoses
begins today
LITTLE ROCK - A special
session of the Arkansas legislature begins today at 4 p.m.
and local State Senator Larry
Teague said that the three issues to be addressed include
modifications to the current
teacher insurance plan, the
re-budgeting of some funds
to open 600 more beds for
state prisoners and a bill
which would prohibit monitor-based lottery games.
He explained that it takes
three days to pass a bill,
and that the bills will be
passed through the insurance and commerce committee, the budget committee
and either the insurance
and commerce committee
or state agencies committee
respectively. He expressed
an opinion that passing the
bills through the committees
would take about an hour
today.
He said that the second
day of the special session
will be largely pro forma,
with meetings lasting only
about 30 minutes where
each chamber will pass their
version of the bills. He said
that on the third day, the
House is expected to hold
a ceremonial meeting just
after midnight in which each
chamber will formally pass
the bills from the senate.
Teague then went into detail about the issues coming
up. He said that two bills will
be presented on the topic of
teacher insurance: one to
remove part time employees
and spouses of teachers who
have access to other insurance from the insurance plan
and one to allow the plan
board to disallow coverage
of bariatric surgery, which
is usually used for weight
control.
“The part time part I don’t
like. I was in the House when
we put part-time employees
on, and we did it because it
is really hard for schools to
keep part-time employees
like bus drivers and custodians without something like
insurance benefits. If we’re
getting an adequate rate, it
doesn’t matter if they are
included. If we are going to
save money by cutting them
out, then we are not getting
an adequate rate,” Teague
said. “I’m not going to vote
for it. I’m going to vote present or something like that.”
Regarding the bill re-budgeting for opening additional
prison beds, Teague said,
“I don’t like how it is being
done, but it is going to pass.
We’re going to have to build
a new prison. This takes care
of 600 beds. If I remember
right, there are 2,800 backlogged prisoners. We aren’t
really fixing much here.”
Regarding the gaming bill,
Teague said that the legislation is largely a response by
the legislature to the lottery
commission approving the
use of monitor-based gaming
after the legislature’s lottery
oversight committee recommended against it.
“They kinda thumbed
their noses at us. We don’t
like to be ignored,” he stated,
although he did also confirm
reports from other media
saying that disallowing monitor-based lottery games
is largely being pushed by
Oaklawn, which has monitor
based gambling and would
face competition if the lottery did adopt the same style
of games. He said the House
apparently has some issues
with this bill, but still expects
it to pass with little problem.

Karen Siefert, donor recruiter for Lifeshare Blood Centers, presents Nashville Fire
Chief Jerry Harwell with the winning trophy for the annual Cuffs and Hoses blood
drive, which was held Tuesday afternoon at the Carter Day Center in Nashville. The
drive is held as a competition between the Nashville Fire and Police Departments to
see who can have the most donors participate. Nashville firemen won 14-7. The overall
goal for the drive was 18 units total, and was surpassed when Lifeshare collected a
combined 26 units from the departments. In addition to the trophy, each member of the
fire department was presented with a five dollar off coupon to Outback Steakhouse.
If they donate again by September 15, they will receive a free lunch and have their
name entered into a drawing for free food from Outback for a year.

people posing as health
inspectors who are not with
ADH. In the past, some
restaurants received phone
calls from entities claiming
to be from the State Health
Department and calling to
schedule restaurant inspections.
In addition, some fraudulent callers were giving restaurant owners a telephone
number with a code number
and asking the restaurant
owners to call that phone
number and give the code.
The Arkansas Department of Health is not calling restaurants to schedule
inspections or giving them a
code to call for inspections.
Inspections are made
unannounced by ADH environmental health specialists
(EHS). Before a restaurant
owner/manager allows anyone into their kitchen for an
inspection of the food preparation area, they should
ask for proper identification.
ADH EHS personnel wear
badges.
If they are unable to verify that the person is an
EHS, the restaurant owner/
manager should contact the
local county health unit.

Independence Day
A Z
Independence Day is celebrated in the United
TO
States each year on July 4; as a result, the holiday is called The Fourth of July. Most Americans
have a holiday from work or school. Fireworks are
set off in many towns and cities to mark the occasion, and parties and picnics are common. On
July 4, 1776, the Founding Fathers of the United
States of America signed the Declaration of Independence declaring that the 13 colonies were
an independent nation free from control by the
British Government. These 13 original colonies,
which are now states, were Virginia, New Jersey,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania,
New York, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
Delaware, North Carolina, South Carolina, and
Georgia. The colonists wanted freedom from laws The Founding Fathers of the United States
passed by the English Government which they were at one time avid tea drinkers, like their
felt were unfair, especially tax laws. Revolting British counterparts. Match the correct teapot lid to the correct teapot.
against a tax on tea, a group of colonists known
as the “Sons of Liberty” disguised themselves as
Native Americans and threw around 350 crates of
tea from three British East India Company ships
into Boston Harbor in December 1773. This act is
known as the Boston Tea Party. The British Government responded to the revolt by passing laws
that increased royal control. The colonies rallied
together, and a colonial committee decided to
convene the First Continental Congress in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in September 1774. The
irst Congress demanded that Britain repeal all of
the unfair laws they had passed since 1763, and
they called for a colonial boycott of British goods.
The Revolutionary War began on April 19, 1775,
and ended in victory for the United States with the
Peace of Paris Treaty which was signed on September 3, 1783.
