Many people may be voting for Mitt Romney because of the view in some quarters that he is the inevitable Republican candidate for President of the United States and the candidate with the best chance of beating Barack Obama, rather than be-cause they actually prefer Romney to the other can-didates.

Inevitability has a very unreliable track record. Within living memory, totalitarianism was con-sidered to be "the wave of the future." During the primary season, people should vote for whom-ever they prefer, on their own merits, not because pundits have pronounced them inevitable.

Regardless of what the polls or the pundits say about Mitt Romney's chances of winning the Republican nomination, the conditions that made him the front runner in the primaries are the direct opposite of the conditions for the general election.

The biggest single rea-son why Governor Rom-ney is the front runner is that he has had the overwhelming advantage in money spent and in "boots on the ground" running his campaign in states across the coun-try.

Romney has outspent

each of his rivals — and all of his rivals put together. His campaign organiza-tion has been operating for years, and it has put his name on the ballot everywhere, while neither Santorum nor Gingrich had a big enough organi-zation to get on the ballot in an important state like Virginia.

In the general election, President Obama will have all the advantages against Romney that Romney cur-rently has against his Re-publican rivals. Barack Obama will have boots on the ground everywhere — not just members of the Democratic Party or-ganization but thousands of labor union members as well.

Incumbency alone guar-antees the president plen-ty of money to finance his campaign, not only from enthusiastic supporters but also from businesses regulated by the govern-ment, who know that holders of political power demand tribute. And the mainstream media will give Obama more public-ity than Romney can buy.

How does anyone ever defeat a sitting president then? They do it because they have a message that rings and resonates.

The last Republican to defeat a sitting president was Ronald Reagan. He

was the only Republican to do so in the 20th cen-tury.

He didn't do it with polls. At one point during the election campaign, President Jimmy Carter led Ronald Reagan with 58 percent to 40 percent in the polls. So much for the polls that so many are re-lying on so heavily today.

The question is not which Republican looks better against Barack Obama in the polls today, before the general elec-tion campaign begins. The question is which Republican can take the fight to Barack Obama, as Reagan took the fight to Carter, and win the poll that ultimately matters, the vote on election day.

The biggest fighting issue for Republicans is ObamaCare. Can the au-thor of RomneyCare as governor of Massachu-setts make that an ef-fective issue by splitting hairs over state versus federal mandates? Can a man who has been defen-sive about his own wealth fight off the standard class warfare of Barack Obama, who can push all the dem-

agogic buttons against Mitt Romney as one of the one-percenters?

Rick Santorum, and es-pecially Newt Gingrich, are fighters — and this election is going to be a fight to the finish, with the fate of this country in the balance. Mitt Romney has depended on massive character assassination advertising campaigns to undermine his rivals. That will not work against Barack Obama.

Even a truthful account of the Obama administra-tion's many disastrous fail-ures, at home and abroad, will be automatically countered by the main-stream media, 90 percent of whom voted for Obama in the 2008 election.

It is truer in this elec-tion than in most that "it takes a candidate to beat a candidate." And that can-didate has to offer both himself and his vision. Massive ad campaigns against rivals is not a vi-sion.

Some, like President Bush 41, disdained "the vision thing" — and he lost the presidency that he had inherited from Ronald Reagan, lost it to a virtual unknown from Arkansas.

The vision matters, more than the polls and even more than incum-bency in the White House.

This year marks the 100th Anniversary of the Girl Scouts of the USA. The first Girl Scouts troop was founded by Juliette Gordon Low on March 12, 1912 in Savannah, Georgia and began with just 18 girls. However, this small troop quickly grew into a movement that today encompasses more than three million members and 50 million alumnae. What is especially important about the Girl Scouts’ rich history of supporting women’s leadership is their insistence on being a voice for all girls, regardless of their background or neighborhood.

From its beginnings, the Girl Scouts sought to be inclusive. The first troop was comprised of a diverse assortment of young women from across Savannah includ-ing girls from influential families, as well as girls from the Female Orphan Asylum and the local community. As early as 1917 the first African-American troops were established, as well as troops for disabled girls. One of the earliest Latina troops was formed in Houston in 1922. Girl Scout troops supported Japanese-American girls in internment camps in the 1940s, and by the 1950s, Girl Scouts was leading the charge to fully integrate all of its troops. In 1956, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called Girl Scouts “a force for desegregation.”

To honor this historic anniversary, I was proud to help introduce H. Res. 460, the Girl Scouts Centen-nial Resolution which recognizes the importance of empowering girls to lead with courage, confidence, and character; expresses support for the designa-tion of 2012 as the “Year of the Girl,” and celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts of the USA.

Today, more than 50 million women in the United States are Girl Scout alumnae, and 3.3 million girls and adult volunteers are active members. Girl Scouts are active in every corner of the United States, Puerto Rico, United States territories, and more than 90 countries overseas.

Recognized as the preeminent leadership de-velopment organization for girls, Girl Scouts is the leading authority on girls’ healthy development. Their programs help girls develop as leaders and build confidence by learning new skills, advancing diversity in our multicultural world, connecting with their communities, and discovering themselves and their values.

The invaluable qualities this organization instills in young women have inspired leaders such as Sec-retary of State Hillary Clinton, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, tennis star Venus Williams, singer Taylor Swift, and more than 20 of NASA’s career astronauts.

While we have made tremendous progress in fostering women’s leadership over the past century, there is still much more to be done. Democracy works best when the perspectives and voices of all its citizens are heard. Whether it’s gender, race or socioeconomic background, by having more diver-sity in leadership our country will make stronger, more representative choices, and will ensure that the interests of all of our citizens are heard.

I’m proud to congratulate Girl Scouts of the USA on their 100th Anniversary and join them in their continued commitment to building girls of courage, confidence and character who will make the world a better place.

Honoring the girl scouts

The National WPFL Hos-pital Campaign aims to reg-ister 300,000 new organ, eye, and tissue donors by April 30.

More than 111,000 people in the United States are wait-ing for a life-saving organ transplant, and time is run-ning out.

Today, 18 of them will die because not enough organs are available for transplan-tation.

Hundreds of thousands of others whose lives would benefit from the gift of tis-sue and eye donations con-tinue to wait and hope.

In Arkansas there are 304 people waiting for an organ transplant.

Howard Memorial Hos-pital can help you give the gift of life. Recently, Howard Memorial Hospital joined the WPFL Hospital Cam-paign as a Hospital Partner to work with organ donation organizations, national as-sociations in the healthcare sector, and hospitals nation-wide to register 300,000 new donors by April 30, 2012.

“We invite you to attend the April 2nd Chamber Cof-fee for the kick-off of this campaign” Kim Turbeville, Administrative Director for Howard Memorial Hospital, said.

There will be represen-tatives from ARORA help-ing with registration and answering any questions you may have concerning becoming an organ donor. Give the gift of life ... become a donor today.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Ser-vices, Health Resources and Services Administration, launched the WPFL Hospital

Campaign. This campaign builds on

the success of existing na-tional and local workplace partnerships with more than 11,000 companies and organizations already participating in a broader awareness initiative, cre-ated in 2001-the “Workplace Partnership for Life.”

Howard Memorial Hospi-tal is partnering with ARO-RA to help register new organ donor designations in our region as part of reach-ing the national goal.

But Howard Memorial Hospital and ARROA need your involvement and sup-port.

We are asking our entire hospital community to help save lives by joining with our partner organ dona-tion organization ARORA in educating staff members, patients and their families, visitors, and the extended community outside our doors on the critical need for organ donation and providing opportunities for people to sign up as organ, eye, and tissue donors.

Joining the campaign is easy. For event information and details on ways you can become actively involved, contact Angie Hanson, Chief Nursing Officer at 870-845-8013, ARORA at 501-907-9150.

In the months ahead, you’ll be hearing more about Howard Memorial Hospital’s participation in this important campaign, so please stay tuned.

Please take a few minutes today to add your name to our state’s donor registry.

Someday you may save a life.

Myth: If emergency room doctors know you’re an or-gan, eye, and tissue donor, they won’t work as hard to save you.

Fact: If you are sick or injured and admitted to the hospital, the number one priority is to save your life.

Organ, eye, and tissue donation can only be con-sidered after death has been declared.

Myth: You are too old or ill to be a donor.

Fact: People of all ages and medical histories should consider themselves potential donors. Your med-ical condition at the time of death will determine if organs, eyes, and tissues can be donated.

Myth: Your religion pro-hibits organ, eye, and tissue donation.

Fact: Most major orga-nized religions in the U.S. approve of organ, eye, and tissue donation and con-sider it an act of charity.

Myth: Organ and tissue donation disfigures the body and changes the way it looks in a casket.

Fact: Donated organs and tissues are removed surgi-cally, in an operation similar to gallbladder or appendix removal.

Donat ion need not change the appearance of the body for the funeral service.

North Little Rock – With heavy rainfall in Arkansas expected this week, it is important to remember a few flood safety facts. Floods are one of the most common hazards in the United States. Nearly half of all flood fatalities are ve-hicle-related according to the National Weather Service.

The Arkansas Depart-ment of Emergency Man-agement urges people to learn the dangers of driving into flooded roadways because driv-ers often underestimate the power of floodwater. Roads weaken under floodwater and drivers should proceed cau-tiously after waters have receded, since the road may collapse under the

weight of the vehicle. * Six inches of water

will reach the bottom of most passenger cars causing loss of control and possible stalling.

* 12 inches of water will float many vehicles.

* Two feet of rushing water will carry away most vehicles including pick-up trucks and sport utility vehicles.

* Water across a road may hide a missing seg-ment of roadbed or a missing bridge.

* Because disaster can strike at any time, ADEM encourages everyone to have a disaster supply kit in their home and vehicle.

When there’s water on the road: Turn Around, Don’t Drown. Saving your life is as simple as

choosing an alternate route.

If you are driving and your vehicle stalls in flood water, the best ad-vice is to get out quick-ly and move to higher ground.

The Arkansas Depart-ment of Emergency Man-agement is the state’s homeland security and preparedness agency. The agency works to identify and lessen the effects of emergencies, disasters and threats to Arkansas by developing effective prevention, prepared-ness, mitigation, response and recovery actions for all disasters and emergen-cies. For additional infor-mation, contact ADEM at (501) 683-6700 or visit the website at www.adem.arkansas.gov.

Turn around, don’t drown

NASHVILLE – A local wom-an was peppered sprayed by a police officer Thurs-day and arrested for ag-gravated assault.

Monique Locke, of Nashville, was arrested last week after Nashville K-9 officer Greg Parker re-sponded to a disturbance call around 11:23 p.m. on Hutchinson Street. Ac-cording to Investigator Larry Marion, Parker saw

Locke “standing beside a car with a hammer in her hand.”

Marion said Locke began to walk towards Parker with the hammer in her hand “like she was going to hit him with it…he told her to stop and she kept walking and he sprayed her.”

Locke was arrested for aggravated assault (a class D felony) and is in the Howard County Jail on a $25,000 bond.

The Howard County Cattlemen’s Association will host our third an-nual Area Conference Tues., March 20 at the fairgrounds in Nashville.

The conference will begin at 5 p.m. Attendees can register and visit with vendors at booths inside the fair building.

Our first speaker will be Dr. Pat Badley from the Arkansas Livestock and Poultry Commission-concerning Trichomonia-sis (“Trich”).

Howard County is sec-ond in the state in con-firmed cases of the infec-tious venereal disease, which causes abortion and delayed conception.

Dr. Badley will discuss rules and regulations setup to help control

the spread of the costly disease. Following the discussion and ensuing question and answer ses-sion, Adam McClung will update us on the Beef Check-off and a delicious meal wil l follow. The meeting will adjourn by 8:30. And if we don’t ad-journ by then, you can do like Clyde Bell and leave whenever you need to.

Arkansas Equipment, Cattlemen’s Livestock, McGrew Feeds, Parrish Equipment, Hope Trac-tor, Nashville and Dierks Farmers Cooperatives and The Nashville News.

I ’d like to extend a personal invitation to all area livestock producers to attend this impor-tant meeting. Everyone is busy right now, but the topics are timely and important to us. A special effort was put forth by area Arkansas Cattle-

man’s Association Rep. Jerry Christie to have the conference here before hay time, and a good at-tendance is important to the association.

Wrapping up, I’d like to thank County Agent Sherry Beatty Sullivan for the informative program regarding weed control and spraying.

We followed the rec-ommendations she made regarding calibrating and surfactant use, and got a good kill on our thistles. Now, if we could just in-terest our neighbor...

“Walking in the rain, and wishing on a star, and being so in love.”

Happy Honeymoon Sherry and Scott Sullivan!

Cattlemen’s Convention Tuesday Night

THE CLUELESSAmerican, Canadian, European and, I as-

sume, Australian citizens are becoming increasingly detached from the realities of attaining life’s three most essential necessi-ties; food, fuel and shelter (FF and S). Most 21st century urban children have no familial or environmental connection to the source of the food on their plate, the gas in their car, the wood in their wall, or the copper in their I-Pod.

Producers of FF and S are concerned. All we can conclude is, “They don’t have a clue.”

But my question is, “does it make a differ-ence?”

I’ve bought and worn out more tires than my share but I have not given one iota of thought to what rubber looks like in the wild, maybe they pick tires off of the trees! Do they have a life of their own? Is there a tire cul-ture? I know they honor their dead. I’ve seen their cemeteries on lots of farms holding down silage-pit tarps.

Let me break down our challenge. #1 – Ap-proximately 45 percent of our population doesn’t vote. I suggest an equal number don’t care where their FF and S comes from. I would also posit that another 10 percent of the urban population has enough scientific and biologi-cal knowledge to offer an informed opinion about modern FF and S techniques and under-stand the why’s.

Maybe another 5 percent are also informed and still do not approve of modern agricultur-al, timber or mining methods. If they are “true Luddites” they make an effort to live off-the-grid, eat “organic” food and bicycle wherever they go. They are usually either well-to-do or homeless.

Say 5 percent are direct descendants of farmers, miners and lumberjacks, or they are immigrants that are predisposed to trust the producers of the world. That leaves 15 per-cent of the population that is at the mercy of the animal rights terrorists, the Humane Society of the United States, PETA, Physicians Against Abundance for All, as well as the Beef Check Off, real nutritionists, British Petroleum, TransCanada Corporation, the Corn Producers and Boise Cascade.

It is in this last group that we as producers can make a difference. We need to start in our schools, in the decaying center of big cities, and on television. There is no real need to show urbanities the realistic, responsible but graphic harvest processes of meat, timber or mining. No more than they need to watch while the kindly vet euthanizes their dog, or when their surgeon takes out their gall bladder. Even the ANTI’s agree that when a cheetah drags down a crippled gnu, the reality of life can be shocking. Some people can’t handle it.

But we do need to show what OUR effort and sacrifice contributes to THEIR lives. Then they an make their own judgment as to wheth-er the FF and S processes, that furnish the essentials for their life, are worth it.

Throughout civilization the vast, vast major-ity have come down on our side because of a basic truth; 99 percent of humans want to eat, have a place to sleep, and stay out of the rain.

CHARLES GOODIN

Managing Editor

NASHVILLE - The school will offer an 11th honors course beginning next year and allow college composition to stand in for senior English follow-ing two unanimous votes at Thursday’s school board meeting.

Board members moved to award the honors des-ignation to Pre-AP English I, a class available to ninth graders, at the recommen-dation of Superintendent

Doug Graham.Graham said the class

was taken off the honors list several years ago, but the school has since improved the rigors of the course and officials believe it deserves to be in the classification.

Students are currently required to complete six of the school’s 10 hon-ors courses to be consid-ered an honor graduate, but Graham said that the minimum number could increase as a result of the change when the school

board meets in June to dis-cuss handbook policies.

Students who have already graduated from ninth grade will not be affected by the upgrade.

The decision to allow students to take college composition instead of senior English came after High School Principal Tate Gordon addressed con-cerns that forthcoming Common Core state cir-riculum standards might force the school to alter its current block schedul-ing scheme.

Gordon told board members there was no definitive indication that the school would have to change its scheduling and he anticipated that, at least for the next school year, it would remain as-is.

“I want to do some more research and see what’s best for our students,” he said.

Graham expressed his support for the block schedule as well, but cau-tioned that state testing requirements could push

the school to amend the policy within the next two years.

“I’m still a block per-son,” he said. “It’s just a matter [of making] sure we’re giving our students a great chance when it comes to testing.”

A brief discussion en-sued during which board members debated wheth-er to make composition an honors course as well, but discussion dwindled after Gordon pointed out that not all students are eligible to take the class,

which requires an ad-vanced ACT to score as a prerequisite.

In other business, the board:

•approveda2011auditreport that listed only one finding in segregation of duties, which Graham said is a common flag among small-staffed schools;

•acceptedtheresigna-tions of boys’ high school basketball coach Ted Green and teacher Char-lotte Binkley, who was employed by the district for27years.

School will offer 11 honor courses beginning next year
