NASHVILLE – As the second chapter of the Bill Dawson era at Nashville High school be-gins, Dawson sees his decision to return as an opportunity to work with the young athletes of Nashville as they develop into young men.

Dawson described his return to coaching as “going from one ministry to another,” as he leaves the position of pastor at Immanuel Missionary Baptist Church in Nashville to become the head coach of the Nashville Scrappers.

“The beauty of coaching, the beauty of business, the beauty of being a pastor is seeing people coming together and perform something as a group. Over here you’re doing it with 16, 17 and 18-year-olds,” Daw-son stated.

He went on to say that it is

County Judge Kevin Smith will seek reelection this year, facing opposition from Dannie Ray, who announced his candidacy last week.

Smith seeks another term as county judge

NASHVILLE – Howard County Judge Kevin Smith has announced his plans to seek reelection.

Smith has spent more than 30 years in the con-struction business ranging from driving a gravel truck, operating heavy equipment to helping with the manage-ment of Smith’s Ready Mix. He is also a former county road foreman.

Smith was born in Nash-ville in 1956 to Emma Sue Smith and the late Bobby J. Smith. The 1974 Nash-ville High School graduate married the former Tammy Matheny. They have two children, Justin and Hannah (Aaron Chancellor).

“I am excited about things going on in Howard County,” Smith said. “With road im-provements, we’ve replaced most of the wooden one-lane bridges with culverts that makes the bridge into two-lanes from one lane...we are working to improve all

bridges.”Smith said that since he’s

been in office, the “equip-ment is in better mechanical shape and looks better than it ever has.”

Smith has implemented a new maintenance plan that includes scheduled maintenance updates and inventory control on tools and supplies.

The courthouse now has security cameras in place “for the first time ever.”

“The county is doing well in today’s economy and

Michael Glasgow’s biggest ac-complishment in 2011 didn’t happen on the football field

or in a classroom. It happened sev-eral hundred feet in the air, where a team of LifeNet medics worked to save his life.

Glasgow, a Dierks High School student, was acci-dentally shot in the chest in June of last year with a .32 caliber pistol.

“I was scared for my family,” the youth recalled during an interview Thursday. “I thought I was gonna die.”

But Glasgow didn’t die, thanks largely to a swift response from Howard County Ambulance Service and a LifeNet team consisting of operations man-ager David Chreene, flight nurse Jason Castleberry and pilot Roger Smith.

On Thursday, Glasgow got a chance to meet the team that rescued him during a special assembly at Dierks High School. He also took a second ride in the aircraft that was used to transport him to St.

CME’s Martin

Luther King, Jr.

celebration

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich was treated to raccous applause in Thursday

night’s Republican presidential debate when he turned a question about recent unflattering revela-tions made by his ex-wife into an excoriation of the media’s ten-dency to pounce on stories about candidates’ personal failings.

Said Gingrich: “I think the destruc-tive, vicious, nega-tive nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country, harder to attract decent people to run for public office, and I am appalled that you would begin a presidential debate on a topic like that.”

The topic in question? Potentially cata-strophic accusations Gingrich’s second wife, Marianne, made in an interview with ABC news, including allegations that Newt sought an open marriage in which he could cheat on his wife without consequence.

Predictably, the story has been shouted from the proverbial rooftop since it broke, much to Gingrich’s chagrin.

But there was a time when Newt didn’t mind delving into the personal lives of public figures, especially if there were political points to be won by doing so.

Or has everyone forgotten how the former House speaker used the political clout won by the Republican Revolution of 1994 to impeach President Bill Clinton for - you guessed it - cheating on his wife?

Of course, the actual charges under which Clinton was impeached by the House were per-jury and obstruction of justice, but it was hard not to notice the delight conservative politi-cal leaders of the day took in pointing out the moral failings of a sitting Democratic president, and Gingrich was unquestionably a member of this crowd.

None of this is to suggest that the private indiscretions of public officials are any of the media’s business. On the contrary, most can-didates for higher office come with plenty of reasons not to like them that have nothing to do with who they’re having sex with or what recreational chemicals they may or may not have inhaled.

The last thing political discourse in this country needs is more cheap scandals to drag it down to a less intellectual level.

But neither do we need bonafied hypocrites who will take any opportunity to criticize some-one for their behavior until the same criticism is leveled against them, and Gingrich’s postur-ing at Thursday night’s debate is a textbook sample of exactly that.

Newt the hypocrite

“We have met the en-

emy and he is us.’’

-Pogo by Walt Kelly

My father, the late Louis “Swampy’’ Graves, was in the Army Air Corps in World War II. He was a navigator in the Flying Tigers. He was stationed in India, Burma, and China at various times.

Decades after the war, he talked about his flights over “The Hump’’ – the Hi-malayas and on bombing missions over Japan. He loved the Chinese people and told us stories about visiting Chinese villages as the Flying Tigers fought to liberate China from the invading Japanese.

After World War II of course the Chinese Com-munists, backed by the Soviet Union, defeated the Nationalist Chinese backed by the United States and other allies. The Nationalists packed up their bags and took their government to the island of Taiwan.

When China became Red China, naturally Dad took it personally. For years he and his fellow

Tigers had fought the Japanese so the Chinese could be free and now the Chinese were being enslaved by a communist government.

Taiwan operates today in a kind of twilight zone because it is not recog-nized as a sovereign state by the United Nations and Mainland China says the island rightly belongs to it. The United States has supported Taiwan on a number of occasions by dispatching carriers to defend Taiwan.

It is my prediction that Mainland China will annex Taiwan within the next few years. Yes there will be howls in the United States and some people will flee Taiwan, but ulti-mately China will resume ownership of the island and the 19th largest econ-

omy in the world. The United States will not lift a finger.

In case you haven’t no-ticed, the United States is in retreat. Wars are expensive and we are still fighting futile wars in Iraq and now in Afghanistan. Billions of dollars and lots of good men and women have been wasted. The federal treasury is de-pleted. According to the National Debt Clock, the national debt now exceeds $15.2 trillion.

According to the same source, each citizen’s share of the debt is al-most $49,000. Our federal government is spending $3.6 trillion a year while revenues are only $2.3 trillion.

Meanwhile, China has almost no debt and $3.2 trillion in cash and a rap-

idly expanding military, according to Larry Edel-son, writing in Real Wealth Report.

“Three hundred mil-lion Chinese have been lifted out of poverty since 1990 while the number of Americans living in pov-erty recently soared more than 45% with more than 46 million Americans now living below the poverty line,’’ Edelson writes.

China’s economy is growing while the United States is sputtering along. Chinese students are now ranked number one in the world by the Program for International Student As-sessment while Americans are ranked 14th.

We have become a na-tion of dependency with over 45 million on food stamps, 16 percent unem-ployed, declining home values, and soaring debt. If he were alive today, Swampy would be sad-dened by what America has become.

At the end of the day, the comic strip character Pogo is right – we have met the enemy and he is us.

China is Number Two - for Now

Michael’s Hospital in Little Rock.

The helicopter, a Bell 407 that can fly as fast as 162 miles per hour, bears a plaque dedicating it to another youth for whom the outcome of an accidental shoot-ing was much differ-ent.

Less than 30 years ago, Tony Ruggles died as a result of a wound suffered during a southwest Arkansas hunting ac-cident, inspiring his father, Don, to found the company that eventually helped save Glasgow’s life.

But according to Chreene, the effort to rescue Glasgow wasn’t without drama of its own.

“When we arrived ... his blood pressure was starting to drop [and] he was start-ing to show signs of shock,” Chreene ex-plained. “He definite-ly needed to be at a trauma center where he could have instant surgery, and that’s probably what sealed the deal as far as his outcome, was the definitive care that he got and the time that he got it in.”

“The system worked that day,” Chreene added. “Howard County did an excellent job. All the right calls were made, and a posi-tive outcome is the result.”

Glasgow seems to agree, and attributes his survival to the emergency personnel who responded.

“I’m thankful,” the plain-spoken student said Thursday. “Very thankful.”

we’re in the black…I work with a great team from road and sani-tation, courthouse, sheriff’s office to the li-brary. Howard County should be proud of their elected officials. It’s an honor to work with hard-working and dedicated people. We are very fortunate,” he ended.

fun for him to watch them come together as a group and work and sacrifice to accomplish something that is bigger than the group.

He admits that he hasn’t coached any of the current players, but he is looking for-ward to getting to know each and every one of them.

Dawson stressed that although he knows that the people of Nashville love to win football games, he also realizes that it his job is big-ger than that.

“The potential to be great men, to be great husbands, and to be great fathers, that is all part of the package as well,” He remarked.

He is also looking forward to working with the coach-ing staff. Dawson pointed out that they all are great coaches, but more impor-tantly they are great men and role models.

Dawson is confident in their coaching ability as well, but is proud of the fact that they are a staff of men the community can be proud of.

When asked about when the decision to return took place, Dawson stated that he wasn’t aware that the position was open until after Christmas due to his involvement with Arkansas State’s preparations for the GoDaddy.com Bowl.

Dawson recalled that he and Superintendent Doug Graham talked for a few minutes sometime after Christmas and sometime between then and Jan. 1 they had some discussions. He mentioned that he also discussed the opportunity with his family as well.

When asked if he had ever lost the fire to coach, Dawson stated that he was 44 years old and that he only remembered two years of his life when he wasn’t on the sideline on Friday night.

He acknowledged that those two years occurred over the last two seasons.

He admitted that it was a change of lifestyle, going from coach to pastor.

Last year, he only at-tended two games and this year he went to more games but sat on the visitor’s side.

“It’s the kids and be-ing around them, enjoying watching them play and excel,” Dawson remarked.

Reflecting upon the deci-sion to leave the church, Dawson compared it to leaving coaching.

“The relationships you make are always the hard part,” he said.

He stated that he has been in church his whole life, but didn’t know that he had been in a church that was “more loving, more prayerful and a more fam-ily oriented church than Immanuel Baptist Church.”

He admitted that as he made the decision to return to coaching, he wanted to

hang on to what he had at Immanuel.

“That part is big for my family, big for my kids and big for me,” he stated.

Dawson joked that the church let him preach twice a week and “over here I get to preach every day.”

Dawson’s intention to return to coaching was made known Sun., Jan. 15 when he announced to his church the possibility that he may return to coaching. He admitted that he had options present themselves right up until he was hired by Nashville.

He stated that he would still be there for the church and felt that transparency was key when addressing Immanuel regarding his decision.

He felt that they had always been there for him and he wanted to be as transparent as possible.

When asked about set-ting an example for the young men whom he would

be coaching, Dawson stated that, “at that time, it wasn’t about that young man, it was about the young man who lives under my roof, and I would hope that he would make a similar de-cision if it ever comes to that.”

Athletic Director Bunch Nichols stated that he was glad to have Dawson back.

“I think that it’s not only a big thing for our kids, but I think it’s big for our school system and I think it’s big everywhere I go,” Nichols remarked.

sion of the UTI Foundation is to support and encour-age technical education, and we’re really excited to help Max with a $5,000 scholarship to UTI. ”

The UTI Foundation’s Drive To Succeed video competition was open to high school seniors inter-

ested in a career in the automotive, motorcycle, diesel, collision repair, ma-rine or NASCAR industries. The competition was nar-rowed down to eight finalist videos that were posted on the UTI Foundation’s Face-book page for open voting from Jan. 11 to Jan. 18.

NASHVILLE – A local man faces two drug charges after his arrest at a roadblock early Saturday morning.

Chief Deputy Br yan McJunkins said 27-year-old Justin C. Newton was ar-rested on two counts of possession of a controlled substance (methamphet-

amine and Xanax). Deputies Joey Davis and Travis Turner set up a roadblock at the intersection of Buck Range and Jordan Road and noticed a 2001 Neon stop just short of the roadblock.

McJunkins said Newton appeared nervous when the deputies approached him. Davis noticed a bottle of open alcohol in the car and a bottle of Xanax near the

driver’s side door – which was not prescribed to New-ton – and a syringe under the driver’s seat, McJunkins said.

McJunkins estimated that the deputies found three grams of suspected metham-phetamine in a bag inside of a flashlight.

TOLLETTE – A forty-two-year-old Ozan man is behind bars after authorities say he ran from cops and was in possession of drug paraphernalia.

While patrolling Highway 332, Deputy Travis Turner conducted a routine traffic stop for speeding and identified the driver as Tracy Green, 41. Green, of Ozan, was arrested for driving on a suspended driver’s license, according to Chief Deputy Bryan McJunkins.

When Turner approached the passenger, Thomas Belk, he “pushed Travis and took off running,” McJunkins said. Turner pursued Belk, 42, on foot and called for backup. McJunkins said Belk turned around and ran south on the highway towards the car and tried to get back in. Belk ran into the woods and Turner secured him, according to McJunkins.

While Turner was pursuing Belk in the woods, he “hit his head” on a tree. Deputy Blake Eudy arrested Belk and Turner was transported to Howard Memo-rial Hospital for a concussion and was released. The deputy received several stitches on his head.

Belk was arrested for possession of drug para-phernalia and felony fleeing.

Our Farm EconomyIn this morning’s Des

Moines Reg is te r i s a Forbes article that states “Omaha’s strong agricul-ture economy keeps un-employment well below five percent while our na-tion’s rate is approaching double digits.”

Why is it that we’ve grown accustomed to articles in big media por-traying our heartland as dumb and devastated?

“Demand from develop-ing countries - especially China - will boost our na-tion’s farm income to a re-cord $341 billion,” states Joel Kotkin. And with the demand for food comes expansion in finance and other farm related ac-tivities. The once mas-sive out-migration from the region has slowed to something like a balance, with strong migration to our nation’s breadbasket from California and other

heavily urban states.”This is great news for

folks like us who have to eat and are watch-ing our dollars. It means that even though the cost of food is higher, there should be people who are willing to invest in farms and keep the Kirk Bells of the world busy.

It should come as no surprise that topping the Forbes list in geographi-cal area for return on investment and gross product is the energy belt. That being Texas, Oklahoma, the Dakotas, Montana and Wyoming. (And let’s not forget what

the Fayetteville shale has done for Arkansas.)

I’ve had the priviledge to live in our energy belt and spent some time in our breadbasket. I recall the smell of black earth in Nebraska and what some would call the stench of burned drilling fluid in New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma.

I recall these odors fondly, the way I will re-call the feedmill in Nash-ville and the papermill in Ashdown. (The late Ed Boone said the papermill smelled like dollars to him, and he was happy his timber was put to such

great use.)In closing, today we

mourn the loss of our friend Todd Walker, who was killed when his he-licopter went down in Iraq.Todd came here from Wisconsin with a large timber company fighting fires and fertilising tree plantations, and went to Iraq after being laid off.

We spent what I consid-er golden years watching our sons play baseball.His greatest earthly treasure was his family: wife of 25 years Beth, daughter Adrea, and sons Austin and Asher. I’m thankful for hours of true pleasure spent with Todd Walker, a devoted dad.

“Over the Sunset Moun-tains, Heaven awaits for me, into the arms of Je-sus, he who has loved me so.”

LITTLE ROCK — Mike Sullivan, state conservationist for the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Arkansas, and Lin-da Newkirk, state executive director for the Farm Service Agency (FSA) in Arkansas, announced $639,415 is available to Arkansas landowners through the Grassland Reserve Pro-gram (GRP). Although applications may be taken at any time, only those applications submitted by Feb. 3, 2012, will be evaluated and ranked for funding for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 program.

GRP was reauthorized by the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill). NRCS pro-vides technical assistance for GRP.

“GRP offers a way for ranchers and farmers -- the backbone of our

economy -- to ensure this unique natural resource remains a healthy and viable part of Arkansas for years to come,” Sullivan said.

GRP is a voluntary program offer-ing landowners the opportunity to protect, restore, and enhance grass-lands on their property through permanent easements or rental contracts (10-, 15-, or 20-year). For the FY 2012 program, priority will be given to enrolling land in easements.

The program emphasizes pres-ervation of native and natural grasslands and scrublands that sup-port grazing operations, plant and animal biodiversity; and protection of grassland that is under multiple threats of conversion to other land uses.

Land enrolled in the Conserva-

tion Reserve Program (CRP) is also eligible for enrollment in GRP.

“I encourage producers inter-ested in preserving their grasslands to stop by a USDA Service Center and visit with the NRCS or FSA staff to learn more about the program,” Sullivan said.

For more information about GRP, please contact your local USDA Service Center. The USDA Service Center for Howard and Pike Coun-ties is located at 101 South Washing-ton Street in Nashville. The phone number is 870-845-4121. Offices for other counties can be found in the telephone book under U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture, or your local conservation district. Information is also available at www.ar.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/grp.html.

LITTLE ROCK – Farm-ers and landowners in the 25 Arkansas StrikeForce Counties have until Feb. 13, to submit applications to receive cost-share as-sistance to implement conservation activities through the Environmental Quality Incentives Pro-gram (EQIP) for the 2012 program year. Applicants can sign up at their local U.S. Department of Agri-culture Natural Resources Conservation Service field service center.

Individuals and other entities engaged in live-stock and/or crop produc-tion are eligible to partici-pate in EQIP. Eligible land includes cropland, pas-ture, private non-indus-

trial forest land, and other farm and ranch lands.

Arkansas is one of three pilot states participating in the StrikeForce Initia-tive. It is designed to help relieve persistent poverty in high poverty counties by accelerating USDA as-sistance while working closely with Community Based Organizations.

“The StrikeForce Initia-tive is helping us direct additional resources to better serve producers in persistent poverty ru-ral communities,” said NRCS State Conservation-ist Mike Sullivan.

“We are focusing on these identified high pov-erty counties to help im-prove the quality of life of

producers and to accel-erate implementation of conservation practices on their land,” said Sullivan.

NRCS uses EQIP as a tool to help farmers be stewards of the nation’s resources. EQIP is a vol-untary conservation pro-gram administered by NRCS. As authorized in the 2008 Farm Bill, it sup-ports production agri-culture and environmen-tal quality as compat-ible goals. Through EQIP, agricultural producers may receive financial and technical help with struc-tural and management

conservation practices on agricultural land.

Landowners wanting more information about the USDA’s StrikeForce Initiative should contact NRCS at their local USDA Service Center. The USDA Service Center for Howard County is located at 101 South Washington St. in Nashville. (Phone 870-845-4121) Service centers in other counties are listed in phone directories un-der U.S. Government, or contact Charlie Williams, USDA StrikeForce Leader, at 870-814-3052 or at [email protected].

Incentives program sign-up deadline set

LASSEN COUNTY HIJINKS

Lassen County California is bigger than Rhode Island, but what isn’t? And has less peo-ple than the average funeral in New Orleans! It is famous for its Volcano and western tradition. Joy and her husband run cows, guide hunters and rent cabins at their ranch near Butte Creek.

It was nighttime two days before hunting sea-son and two poachers were butchering a deer hangin’ in a tree down by the road. A couple of carefree young new-agers were enjoying the fruits of the ‘Medicinal’ law whilst driving down the back roads of Lassen county and singing. This particular back road was classified as “open range,” a term familiar to chicken con-noisseurs and sagebrush citizens, but not to our young bon-vivants.

Out of the dark of night wandered a large black cow. Suddenly she was jarred from her tranquility by a glancing blow from a Nissan Toy compact car carrying our happily lit-up couple!

Joy was startled from her sleep by the terri-ble crash! She pulled her Carhartts on over her nightgown, grabbed the shotgun and ran to the porch. Up the driveway she could see crazy headlights on the highway, then the two poach-ers screaming and running at full speed, beer cans and deer entrails in their wake, followed by a large bellowing black cow!

Meanwhile, Joy’s cabin guest, Terri, had made her last trip to the outhouse for a day-dream and a smoke. The outhouse was pro-vided as part of the authentic back country experience, as was firewood to chop, horses to feed, and cowboy poetry.

Joy took in the scene; the poachers now hud-dled behind her on the porch, the cow running in fear of the unknown, two carcasses hanging in the trees, and two new-agers straggling up her driveway with their hats askew talking to each other: “Hey, dude, I tol’ you I shoulda drove. You completely missed the turn.”

“…Yeah, but I hit the buffalo, didn’t I? How many people have done that?”

“It wasn’t a buffalo, dude, it was like, ya know, a musk ox. I’ve seen pictures…”

Then Joy spotted the outhouse. The latch was unhooked. She could see a whiff of smoke coming through the quarter moon and smell cigarettes. She heard humming, “…four strong winds that grow lonely, seven seas that run high…”

As they watched, the cow swerved at the splitting log and thundered over the outhouse, which sat on two runners, completely upend-ing it! It was knocked ten feet away and landed upside down! Everyone, including the poach-ers and the new-agers ran to Terri’s rescue! The door was smashed closed, the vent was broken off, and Terri, hat and all, was peering up through the one-holer! She looked like a portrait in a picture frame.

It was a scene only Charley Russell could have painted!

In the end, the Nissan was totaled. At the time the new-agers were confirmed vegetarians, but Joy learned later they had taken up eating beef occasionally, in revenge, they had said.

touchdown passes and scored nine of Tech’s 27 touchdowns this year. On special teams,

Whitmore returned 23 kickoffs for 599 yards and he returned nine punts for 79 yards and averaged 8.8 yards per return. His 93-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against Delta State is the longest in the brief history of the league and tied for the 10th lon-gest return in school his-tory.

It the second time Whit-more, who transferred to Tech after playing three seasons at the Univer-sity of Tulsa, will be hon-ored by the Little Rock Touchdown Club as he was named the Arkansas Class 4A Player of the Year as senior at Nashville High School in 2006.

“I am very proud for A.J. to have received this tremendous recognition from the Little Touchdown Club. He made a lot of contributions to our foot-ball team this past sea-son,” Tech Head Football Coach and Athletic Direc-tor Steve Mullins said.

Whitmore joins former Wonder Boys – linebacker Danny Martin (2010), quar-terback Nick Graziano (2009), quarterback Cole Barthel (2008), receiv-er Chris Gunter (2007), receiver Mark Caldwell (2006), linebacker Mike Houston (2005) and de-fensive end Cedric Cursh

(2004) as the Little Rock Touchdown Club’s Tech Player of the Year award winners.

Whitmore and 11 other players from the Arkansas football playing schools will be honored by the Touchdown Club on Fri., Jan. 27, at 11 a.m. during a banquet at the Peabody Hotel in Little Rock. Each award winner from the college and high school ranks will be honored with a video presentation and receive a plaque from the Touchdown Club.

This year’s banquet will feature a buffet lunch, which will be served from 11-11:50 a.m. and the pro-gram will run from 11:50 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tickets are $20 for members, $25 for non-members and $40 for VIP seating.
