Delivering his message

The hard work goes on year-round, but during the first week of April this year, the Junior Auxiliary of Nashville pauses to say thanks to the communi-ty for another great year. Throughout the South, JA Chapters are celebrating “National JA Week” the week of April 7-13.

A year is packed with service to families and chil-dren through several ser-vice projects that include

everything from collecting school supplies to purchas-ing Christmas gifts. “The school supplies from JA always come just in time for several of our children to start the school year with all they need for a great year.

Dear Editor,For the picture of Dr. Max Odom.

I think it is very disrespectful to publish a picture of someone be-ing taken out of their own home in a body bag. What if was one of your family members? Would you really want their picture plastered

on the front page in a body bag? I dont care who you are or what kind of problems you have, whether they are public or not, you do not deserve for your last picture to be plastered on the front page of the local Newspaper.

Think of their family, relitives and

his patients.Michael Simmons

Dear Sir, Thanks for reading the Nashville

While we set high goals for Ar-kansas, we also recognize that the achievement of these goals

depends on the well-being of each of our citizens.

Our nation’s health-care system has been in the spotlight for the past few years. We are

taking historic steps in Arkansas to improve the health care of all of our people, but there are certain obstacles that go beyond the treatments that can be provided at a doc-tor’s office or hospital.

There are health problems that have lasting consequences for Arkansans and that remain greatly underreported. This coming month, we work to recognize one such difficult problem: the terrible reality of sexual violence.

April is National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. An estimated one-in-five Arkansas women will experience such an assault or attempted assault at some point during her lifetime. Sadly, too many victims suffer alone, too many crimes go unreported and too many offenders elude justice. A single incident of sexual assault can destabilize every aspect of a victim’s life. This includes their health, employ-ment, financial stability, as well as their personal sense of safety and well-being.

Aside from the deeply personal toll it takes, sexual violence costs all of us, regardless of whether we have personal connections to its victims. Like all forms of violent crime, sexual violence requires increased police and investiga-tive costs, offender treatment programs, sex of-fender tracking and management, and, of course, health care for the victim. In fact, the National Alliance to End Sexual Violence estimates that violence and abuse contribute to more than a third of all health-care costs in America.

Sexual assault is considered to be the most underreported violent crime in America. Vic-tims hesitate to report these crimes for fear of skepticism or failure to bring the perpetrator to justice. We want our police, prosecutors, and courts to treat victims with the respect they need and deserve. However, anxiety causes many victims to never report the offense and leaves our law-enforcement and legal systems unable to provide necessary action and assis-tance.

The need for awareness is evolving in new directions with the continued saturation of social media into our lives. While online social networks help us better connect with friends across town or across the world, they may also open new potential outlets for harassment and unwanted sexual advances. Advocacy groups are expanding their education programs to ad-dress this growing problem, as well.

As we work in a variety of ways to improve our State, we can also rededicate ourselves to breaking all cycles of abuse, including sexual violence. For more information or help, you can contact the Arkansas Coalition Against Sexual Assault, or visit their Web site at acasa.us. All violent crime erodes our communities and hin-ders our ability to thrive. This April, let us stand more prepared to recognize and help survivors of sexual violence, brightening their future pros-pects and the well-being of our State.

Putting a stop to sexual

assault

Job creation and tax reform were two of the big-gest issues before us this week as we inch closer to adjourning for the session.

We began week 11 by passing the Arkansas New Markets Job Act. This bill would create Community Development Entities. The CDE’s would be allowed to sell insurance premium tax credits to insurance companies and then use that funding to invest in businesses in low income areas.

The businesses would have to agree to create or retain jobs paying 115% of the average wage in Arkan-sas. This bill passed with unanimous support in the House. It is intended to create good jobs in eco-nomically depressed areas of the state.

And that’s exactly what many are hoping a pro-posed steel mill will do in Mississippi County. That is why we spent a great deal of time this week going over reports of the advan-tages and disadvantages of supporting Big River Steel.

The Legislature hired two firms to conduct in-dependent studies of the risks associated with sup-porting the project with bonds backed by general revenue. The two firms were IHS Global and Re-gional Econometric Mod-eling Inc. We have posted those reports on our web-site, arkansashouse.org.

The bottom line from a 5 hour hearing was this-there is no guarantee it will be a net positive. Our state is one of over 20 states across the country to of-fer a recycling tax credit. That means we pay 30% of the costs for equipment used to reduce or reuse solid waste. Since Big River Steel intends to use scrap metal they would qualify for over $200 mil-lion worth of credit. We must weigh that against potential increases in state revenue from more jobs. We have some tough deci-sions ahead.

The bill drafted to en-able the funding for the project was amended this week. The amendment

spells out stipulations such as the mill must in-vest half a billion dollars in the property and construc-tion cost, it must employee 300 people pay wages no less than $70,000 per em-ployee. This bill will start in the Senate as soon as next week.

We should add both reports indicate more jobs will be created by simply having the mill in operation. Estimates are it will create over 3,000 jobs during construction and around 1,300 in sub-sequent years.

Meanwhile, we are also hard at work at providing tax relief to all Arkansans. While not all members agree on how to best ac-complish this, there seems to be a growing consensus that our budget can afford a reduction.

The income tax reform measure now heading to the House floor is HB1585. This bill would cut the state’s 7% tax to 6.875% on income of $44,000 and up. Those making between $20,400 and $43,999 would be taxed at 6%.

There is another reform measure filed which would eliminate income taxes for single individuals making $12,800 or below and lower tax rates for individuals making up to $121,600. HB1926 would also in-crease standard deduc-tions.

A tax measure to lower the capital gains tax is ex-pected to be presented on the House floor next week.

550 bills have been en-acted so far. The coming weeks will be the busiest yet as we will continue to work on the job creation bills, tax reform, and Med-icaid.

As always we will keep you updated. Remember, you can watch most com-mittee meetings and all House floor proceedings live at arkansashouse.org.

A plan adopted to finance completion of

the Nashville Well no. 1At a meeting of the

stockholders in the Per-petual Oil and Gas Com-pany in this city this week a plan was formulated to finance the completion of Nashville Well no.1.

In addition in this plan, a large block of the stock was sold to a well known oil man of Kansas this week, after he had visited Nashville and investigated the proposition.

Elections orderedby county judge

County Judge W.J. White on last Tuesday ordered elections in school dis-tricts No. 31 (Green Plains) and No. 4 (Polk School-house), upon petitions from patrons of the dis-tricts so that they may vote on the proposition of forming special school dis-tricts. Next Saturday, April

16, was the date set for the elections and the following citizens were named as judges of the elections:

Green Plains – A.P. Sand-ers, J.S. Chandler, G.W. Smalling.

Polk Schoolhouse – John Stone, Frank Hill, D.C. Howell.

at the Howard Manufac-

turing Company garment plant here will get under-way Tuesday morning. Notice of the interviews were mailed out last week, President Al Herzog said.

Applicants unable to make the Tuesday appoint-ment are being advised to call at the office on North Main Street Wednesday and Thursday.

April 18, 1961Garment machinesnow in operation

Six of 22 employees ini-tially hired by the Howard Manufacturing Company made a firsthand acquain-tance with Singer sewing machines Monday morn-ing.

The six were taken in hand by two instructors brought to Nashville from the parent company’s gar-ment plant in Meridian, Mississippi. The instruc-tors are Mrs. Sue Harper and Mrs. Leola Dawkins.

Back in the 70s, a popu-lar rock band put out a song that asked whether these are the worst or best of times.

The song talked about how crime was rampant and folks lived behind locked doors and newpa-pers headlines proclaimed the time “the end of para-dise.”

Well, I believe civiliza-tion has seen more civil days, but up until now, we haven’t hit rock bottom. Today we may have. Why?

Well, Burger King an-nounced it will offer Tur-key and Veggie burgers. Oh boy.

My wife and I agree that there is no sense ordering a burger if it isn’t 100% beef. Really, why try to fake a good cheeseburger? Just order a salad and get

it over with.In my perfect world, a

turkey or veggie burger would be illegal. We would give all the politically cor-rect thought police a job rounding up offenders. Go eat all the turkey or veggies in the world, just don’t call them a burger.

You don’t see anyone faking a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, substitut-ing ground chuck for pea-nut butter. And I’ll bet I will fly a spaceship before they

come up with anything that

tastes as good as a juicy

cheeseburger. Why would

they try to imitate it?

Deep subject for this

shallow mind, but it both-

ers me so much I’m think-

ing of having the follow-

ing put on my headstone:

“Rest in Peace; No fake

burgers or I’ll rise up and

scare the Dickens out of

you.”

Don’t know who or what

a “Dickens” is, but I hope

my skeleton will scare

anyone foolish enough

to eat a veggie or turkey

burger over my resting

place. Just one of a million

reasons I hope to leave a

scary skeleton.

So there, Burger King.

And oh, by the way, this

scare tactic at my grave

is payback for that scary

dang Burger King “Giant

Scary King” commercial

y’all did.

“The headlines read,

‘These are the worst of

times,” I do believe it’s

true. When people lock

their doors and hide in-

side, rumor has it its the

end of paradise. But I know,

if the world would pass us

by, I wouldn’t have to cry.”

-The Best of Times, StyxMal. 3:17

“People sleep peace-

ably in their beds at night

because rough men stand

ready to do violence in

their behalf.”

-George Orwell

he worst of times?

Federal Department of Whimsy

April 1, 2025 Headline: Wine and Cheese Banned

from American Diets

The presidentially appointed Director of Taste

has declared the selling and/or dispensing of all

fermented beverages derived from the fruit of

the vine is to be prohibited in the United States.

In addition, certain varieties of cheese whose

aroma has been defined as “too stinky” by the Sniff

Committee, are also banned from manufacture or

importation in the U.S.

These new regulations are part of a continuing

effort by ‘those who know best’ operating through

the Department of Whimsy. They base their

regulations on the premise that you can always

find someone who is offended by someone else’s

behavior or taste.

It started innocently enough with the separating

of cigarette smokers to the back of airplanes. The

requirement of content labels on baked and canned

goods followed. Then no smoking in airports, no

sugar in soda pop. Then no soda pop in schools,

then no soda pop in cities! Then the banning of

baked goods, desserts, and Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream

in schools, then cities, then the nation. Twinkies,

rich pastries and CinnaBuns were banned because

they were declared to be harmful to some. Fish

caught in the wild were banned because of possible

mercury content and farm-raised fish were banned

due to possible salmon abuse.

The battle goes on. The Animal Rights Loonies

have been trying for years to ban the eating of

horsemeat. They also are seeking the Department

of Sensitivity to prevent the use of horses for fun

or profit. The ownership of house pets are next on

their agenda.

The 9th District Court of Appeals intends to

make California “WINE FREE in ’33.” They also are

considering banning the consumption or use of

sugar, domestically raised livestock, tobacco and

firearms. Their reasoning has something to do with

climate change. There is a proposition on the next

state ballot to ban climate change!

To no one’s surprise the use of marijuana has

been excluded from “Ban Fever.” Their concern is

the negative effect on Mexico’s economy. Many

border state citizens are now supported by their

relatives in Mexico sending them money made in

the drug trade.

As these strict, new regulations continue to get

more and more bizarre, there is a blatant backlash

sweeping the country. In California, the Union of

Farm Workers is protesting the Sacramento Aboli-

tionists who have declared manual labor a Crime.

But all this bodes well for the state of Nebraska who

has fenced out animal rights extremists, anyone ap-

pointed by the Federal government, and welcomes

anybody willing to work.

Where all this government intervention will take

us is anyone’s guess. There appear to be people

who appoint themselves kings, dictators, masters,

all-knowing wise men who really believe they know

what is best for you, for your own good. They are

sincere. They suffer from one of two delusional

syndromes. For the appointed ones it is the Pur-

chasing Agent Syndrome, who derives power from

someone else’s status. For the elected it is the

Oprah Syndrome, sometimes called the Columnist

Syndrome, that says because you are popular you

really must know what you are talking about.

Pop the cork, Dork.

cut into pieces.Wendi Cox of Hayworth,

Okla. was facing three counts of theft of prop-erty over $25,000 and three counts of theft of property between $5,000-$25,000 in connection with the case. The proceedings were moved to Union County over concerns raised by her defense attorney that she would not be able to get a fair trial in Columbia County.

Both Cox and her daugh-ter, Jaci Ray Jackson, took the stand on Wednesday. Cox testified in her own defense and Jackson, who is also facing felony theft and animal cruelty charges in McCurtain County, testi-fied against her mother.

Under cross-examina-tion, Jackson admitted her guilt in the crime.

Bill Hamilton, another defendant in the thefts, also was in court today. Hamilton, Cox’s boyfriend, has admitted to physically taking the horses from the stable.

Both Cox and Hamilton

also face cruelty charges in connection with the case in McCurtain County, as well as separate felony theft charges in Columbia County, Arkansas for an unrelated cattle theft case.

Jackson is due in court for a pre-trial hearing on April 1. A tentative trial date has been set for April 5. Jackson was a South-ern Arkansas University student and rodeo team member at the time of the horse thefts. That’s all in addition to the felony theft charges also faces in Columbia County.

Kathleen Lance clings to the base after stealing second Thursday during the Nashville Scrapperettes’ win over the Central Arkansas Christian Lady Mustangs.

WIN SOME, LOSE SOMEn Scrapperettes rout

CAC while boys fall 4-2

CHARLES GOODIN

Managing Editor

Prolific offensive performances by Kathleen Lance

and Keeley Miller helped lift the Nashville Scrapperettes to a 10-0 victory over Central Arkansas Christian Thursday.

Miller went 3-3 from

the plate, recording a run and an RBI, while Lance was 2-3 with three runs and an RBI. Maddie McJunkins added two runs and an RBI after turning in a 1-3 perfor-mance and Shayla Wright added a run despite never getting a hit.

Maggie Worthington recorded a run and an RBI with her 1-3 effort, while Jayda Spoo and Iesha

Neal added one score each without recording an official at bat.

Nashville started the game out slowly, manag-ing a 2-0 advantage by the end of the second inning before they battled through a scoreless third.

The Scrapperettes sealed their victory in the fourth and fifth in-nings, however, tallying four runs a piece in each

stanza.Jenna Hendry was

credited with the win after striking out four batters and giving up no earned runs in five in-nings of work.

The boys’ game was less favorable for Nash-ville as CAC edged the Scrappers out by a 4-2 margin.

Donyell “Head” King was credited with the loss

after allowing all four of the Mustangs’ scores to come on earned runs. He struck out four batters in 6.1 innings of work.

King was also responsi-ble for one of Nashville’s two scores despite never getting a hit. Austin Love-lis claimed the other run after going 1-3 from the plate, while Storm Nich-ols’ 2-3 effort resulted in an RBI.

Nick Myers also tallied an RBI after going 1-4.

CAC built a 3-0 ad-vantage going into the sixth inning, when they added their fourth score. Nashville finally answered at the bottom of the sixth when Nichols doubled to score Lovelis. They added their second score at the bottom of the seventh when Myers singled to score King.
