Over the next few months, the geography of Arkansas politics will change. It may change who is on our ballots when we vote for our represen-tatives in the state legis-lature. But this process of redistricting also allows us to have a say in the matter.

Every 10 years, new U.S. census data reveals population shifts within each state. Congressio-nal and legislative dis-tricts must then be re-balanced to reflect those changes and preserve

the fair representation of citizens. During the re-cent legislative session, the General Assembly re-drew our four Congres-sional districts. Now, attention has shifted to adjusting the 35 senate districts and 100 house districts in the Arkansas legislature and making them equable.

The duty of redistrict-ing in the State falls to the Board of Apportionment, comprised of the Gover-nor, Attorney General, and Secretary of State. The Board has hired a direc-

tor, who works with the staffs of all three offices to draft maps and collect public feedback. Since redistricting takes place only once a decade, there are now technological in-novations to improve the process and make it more efficient than before. Ten years ago, it was October before the new district maps were finalized. We are aiming this time to finish redistricting by the end of July.

However, even with an accelerated timeline, the Board of Apportionment wants to gather public in-put from people through-out Arkansas. Hearings across the State have al-ready begun and will con-tinue throughout June and

early July. After the feed-back from those hearings is collected, additional maps will be released. There will then be time for public comment on those maps before any final vote is taken. You can find a list of the scheduled public hearings and a lot more information online at arkansasredistricting.org. We have heard from communities, public of-ficials and citizens, telling us what they would like to see and what they would not like to see in the new maps.

Legislative districts will follow population shifts, meaning that more rap-idly growing parts of the State will see additional districts in their region.

This will mean fewer dis-tricts in areas where fewer people now live. In re-cent years, we’ve seen a general population shift from the southeast part of Arkansas toward the northwest. The challenge is to draw these districts in ways that are legally sound while still trying to keep the representation of communities intact when possible.

Whatever the final re-sult, we know that some people will be happy, and others will be upset. Ev-ery time new maps are adopted, there are legal challenges, and we fully expect to see lawsuits this time, too. The Board of Apportionment’s job is to draw maps that will

sustain legal scrutiny and maintain fair representa-tion for our people. I’m confident we’ll be able to do that.

Re-drawing legislative districts based on shifting populations is admittedly not the most interesting topic for a lot of Arkan-sans. But it is a very im-portant part of our rep-resentative government. I encourage you to educate yourselves about the pro-cess and take advantage of the opportunity to con-tribute your own input. While three elected offi-cials comprise the Board of Apportionment, it is a process that involves far more voices, including yours, if you want to be heard.

Arkansas’s political geography

Seventy-one years ago this spring, after the Ger-man army had broken through the French lines, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill flew to France to consult his embattled allies on how to stop the advance.

"Where is the strategic reserve?" Churchill ur-gently asked the French commander in chief, Gen. Maurice Gamelin, and then he repeated him-self in French: "Ou est la masse de manoeuvre?"

"Aucune," came Game-lin's reply. "There is none."

The French had no re-serves to stop the Ger-mans from overrunning their country. The Battle of France was lost.

The Obama administra-tion, in its grand strategy to generate a rapid and strong recovery from the Great Recession, is at a similar pass. It has drawn and played all its cards: the $800 billion stimu-

lus bill, three straight deficits averaging $1.4 trillion, the Federal Re-serve's mass purchases of bad paper from the world's banks, and QE2, the monthly purchase of $100 billion in Treasury bills that ends June 30.

Yet, from the numbers that came in from May, Obama looks to be hold-ing a losing hand. The anemic growth of the first quarter of 2011 seems to have stalled, and the prospect of a double-dip recession looms.

Though the adminis-tration anticipated per-haps a quarter-million new jobs in May, as April produced, May gener-ated only 55,000. The un-employment rate ticked back up to 9.1 percent.

The rise in manufac-turing employment went into reverse. Five thou-sand manufacturing jobs were lost. Consumer con-fidence sank.

Today 2 million homes remain vacant in the USA, putting immense down-ward pressure on housing prices. A fourth of U.S. homes are not worth the mortgages being paid upon them.

Says Federal Reserve Vice Chairwoman Janet Yellen, "Looking forward, I unfortunately can envi-sion no quick or easy so-lutions for the problems still afflicting the housing market." Recovery is go-ing to be a "long, drawn-out process."

A further decline in housing prices of 10 to 25 percent over the next five years, says Robert Shiller, the economist who in-vented the S&P/Case-Shiller index of property values, "wouldn't sur-prise me at all."

The economic malaise has now begun to affect the mood of the nation and its attitude toward the president.

Almost 90 percent of Americans think the U.S.

economy is terrible or poor. Sixty percent think the nation is headed in the wrong direction. For-

ty-eight percent expect a second Great Depression next year. Fewer than 40 percent approve of Obama's handling of the U.S. economy.

In one new poll, Mitt Romney leads the presi-dent 49-46 in a matchup in 2012.

The question Obama faces and, indeed, Con-gress and the nation face is: What do we do now?

Chairman Ben Bernan-ke of the Federal Reserve has signaled that there will be no QE3, no more Fed purchases of $100 billion a month in U.S. government paper. Buy-ers for that $1.2 trillion a year of U.S. debt will have to be found elsewhere.

And with the economy stagnant or sinking, the Democrats on Capitol Hill are starting to back away from any deep budget cuts, even as Republicans are now even less likely to sign on to any tax in-creases to reduce the $1.5 billion deficit.

Indeed, if the econo-my is stalled or sinking into recession, what eco-nomic theory is it that

argues for austerity and tax hikes?

And the perceived eco-nomic stagnation not only diminishes the chance of a bipartisan budget deal but also points to dead-lock on the debt ceiling.

Republicans are al-ready holding out for $1 in spending cuts for every dollar increase in the debt ceiling. And the country seems to be behind the GOP position: If the Senate and White House don't agree to $2 trillion in spending cuts, we don't raise the debt ceiling by $2 trillion.

The U.S. government does not run out of mon-ey to pay its bills un-til August. But markets probably will be making judgments upon the likeli-hood of a U.S. default well before then.

How did we get here? How did the richest and strongest countr y in history, triumphant in World War II and the Cold War, approach so soon the condition of the late Spanish and British em-pires as they began their precipitous declines?

Answer: We overex-tended ourselves. We bankrupted ourselves.

We undertook the de-fense of nations all over the world having little to do with our vital national interests. We fought un-necessary wars. We doled out trillions in foreign aid to ingrates, incompetents, opportunists and thieves.

We promised all our seniors Social Security and subsidized medical care for the rest of their lives and failed to put the money away to pay for it. We dropped half of U.S. wage earners off the tax rolls while creat-ing a mammoth welfare state to dwarf anything Norman Thomas and his Socialists dreamed of in the 1930s.

Not only for the United States but also for the West, the days of wine and roses are over.

CENTER POINT - The old landmark, the first Howard County Courthouse, has passed out of existence. The building while being torn down revealed some remarkable construction work. The sills, hand hewed, were 6 x 12 inches and 50 feet long. The construction was of mor-tise and tenon type, the pins inserted in these joints, were about one inch handmade pins. The building had been remodeled about 1893. The huge porch was removed and a more modern front erected, giving it more the look of a busi-ness than a colonial home.

The old jail, torn down some years ago, was behind the courthouse and enclosed in a high wall fence.

reational activity at the FBC family center.BOTTOM: VBS leader Candace Brown helps Blane Woods register his information. First Baptist Church of Nashville is holding Vacation Bible School this week for kids kindergarten through 6th grade 8:30 a.m. to noon, Monday-Friday. This year’s theme is “Big Apple Adventure”, which follows the scenes and sights of America’s own New York City. The bible school’s goal for mis-

sions is to raise $700 in funds for Samaritan’s Purse, specifically in an effort to buy farm animals for 3rd world countries. If the goal is reached, Bro. Da-

vid Blase and VBS director Jason Newton will each be “pied” in the face by the VBS participants.Top left: Landon Stanley and his peers practice songs in-

spired by the VBS theme, led by Malisa Kennedy.

I was having a nice chat with a ranch woman in

New Mexico. We wound up discussing children.

Then the subject of sons came up. We noted the

special relationship be-

tween mothers and sons.

Cheri, the ranch woman,

said that her son had been

a dutiful cowboy ranch

kid, but had other plans

for the future. By age

twenty-ive, he was an of-icer in a bank in Phoenix and was on a career track

to be rich and cautious

someday. Despite her en-

couragement to ind a nice woman, he just never had the time, was too picky or

professed no interest.

Sister and Mom dis-

cussed his plight endless-

ly, then one day came up

with a great idea to help

him ind a soul mate. They contacted eHarmony.com!

Mother coughed up the

$60 bucks, nothin’ was too good for her son! She

received the list of 1,000 questions required to par-

ticipate. I asked if she con-

sulted her son. “Why?”

she asked. “I knew every-

thing he would say!”

Our conversation stim-

ulated me to apply to E

Hominy Grits for a long-

time, single, struggling

cowboy friend of mine. I

had bought many a beer

listening to his whining

and griping about women.

So I illed out the de-

tailed questionnaire on his

behalf. I knew everything he would say!

Here’s a sampling:Do you prefer a woman

that is tall or short? It de-

pends on whether she’s shining my boots or sitting

in front of me in a theater.

Do you consider your-self an epicurean? No, mostly I’m a Methodist.

When was the last time

you had a tryst with a

woman? Not sure… I was in Heber City a while back

and this gal made me some

scones.

How do you feel about

women who work outside

the home? Long as she has company insurance it’s okay with me.

Would you decline dat-

ing a woman with prison

tattoos? If my name was

spelt right it would be ine.Do aggressive women

turn you off? It depends

on whether she is carrying

a concealed weapon.

Have you spent much time around dogs? Well, if

you hook me up again, this

will be the third time I’ve tried to get a date on this

website.

Do you like horses? Shore I do, but I’m look-

ing for a girl this time.

What do you consider

your strongest feature?

Some have said I have beady eyes, a long nose,

a pot belly and body odor.

So, I’d have to say… body odor.

What is the highest

level of education you’ve achieved? I got half way through horse shoeing

school, so I can only do

the front feet!

...

Back to Cheri and Sis-

ter trying to match up their

young banker.

They carried on e-mail conversations with many female applicants without

his knowledge and select-

ed two. Then eliminated one of them. They found the perfect mate for him… all through the e-mail!

They are now married. The new bride said she was taken in by his uncan-

ny insight into women’s minds.

I would say she certain-

ly was!

And, no, Wendell and

Shirley Hosey, I’m not talking about forcing ya’ll into my swimming pool.

First of all, Shirley’s too mean to be made to

do anything, (dynamite

comes in small packages), and besides, I don’t have a pool.

What I am referring to is

being forced to accept an

oil lease when you are a

minority mineral holder. I

know ya’ll don’t think this concerns us, but I believe it will someday.

The Fayetteville Shale gas ield will someday encroach on the sacred

Ouachita foothills (already

referred to as the Ouachi-

ta Overthrust due to our unique underground ge-

ology). When the oil/gas industry inally arrives, it would be to our advantage to be armed with all the

knowledge of lease op-

tions and obligations that

we can get our hands on.

(Especially, dainty, frag-

ile little hands like Bill

Chesshir’s.)First of all, let me ex-

plain “Forced Pooling” in layman’s terms.

Forced Pooling means being forced to pool your

minerals with other min-

eral owners in your geo-

graphical section. For ex-

ample, say you own 25%

of the minerals in town-

ship four north twenty

three East and 15 west. And you are enjoying your pristine wooded area and

don’t want anything to do with the oil play that has

come to town.

Your neighbor, howev-

er, is a greedy gut named

Graves who has leased his minerals to Conoco and is

negotiating for the com-

pany to put up a tall, loud,

smelly oil/gas rig. The problem is, because you

haven’t leased your miner-als, the company will have to negotiate an agreement

with you to lease your

minerals, and if ya’ll can’t

agree, the company has

the right to “Force Pool” you into leasing with the

majority in your section. Don’t believe me? Call

the Arkansas Oil and Gas

Commission.

Is it fair? No. Why would anyone do this to little old

quiet, liberal me?

Because, without a ma-

jority ownership signing the lease to explore, drill and produce oil and gas,

there would be no oil and

gas. Then, the youth min-

isters wouldn’t be able to drive 75 miles an hour in the name of “The Lord” in a big car “The Lord” told them to go buy from a shy-

ster in Little Rock.I don’t like it, but I un-

derstand the reasoning

behind “force pooling”.

Because I am admittedly

greedy “oilield trash.”And if you don’t lease

your section, the oil com-

pany will simply place

their rig on the section

adjoining you, siphon off your oil/gas, and you won’t get a dime.

And, we own the surface

on a place where the miner-

als were retained. If the oil/gas industry comes knock-

ing in our neighborhood,I

want the biggest rig in the

world on that place. I may

not get monthly royalty

checks, but I’ll collect the surface damage check and

send ya’ll a post card from Hawaii.

Until next week, may it rain until we whine about

not being able to get in our

hay. God bless us all, even you anti-oilield folk.

“Tell me something bad about Tulsa, how those oil wells smell in the wind.

Tell me something bad about Tulsa, so I won’t have to go back to dream-

by traditional drilling.Darr feels that funding

for lignite exploration is important to the growth of Southwest Arkansas.

Darr also stated that he was planning to an-nounce a personal cam-paign to stop the Obama Healthcare Plan from be-ing forced upon the citi-zens of Arkansas.

“Our Attorney General and Governor have cho-sen to not take a stand on this, but I can’t sit by,” Darr said.

He admitted that he couldn’t endorse any op-position to the President’s healthcare plan as Lt. Gov-ernor, but “I can do it as Mark Darr,” he added.

Darr stated that he campaigned on the issue and felt it was important to follow through on his promises.

p.m., according to ASP reports. McCullough’s body was taken to Lat-imer Funeral Home in Nashville. An Air-Evac he-licopter was on stand-by near the accident scene to transport the victim to the hospital, but was not utilized, according to law enforcement.

Rescue crews worked 90 minutes to extricate the victim, with the Hemp-stead County Rescue Unit on scene with the Jaws of Life, according to Hamil-ton.

There were no skid marks leading up to the accident site, according to Hamilton. The cab was completely demolished in the accident. Both engines of the train derailed in the accident.

The impact knocked the

front wheels from under the train, and the impact of the tractor-trailer, es-timated to weigh about 69,000 pounds, caused it to derail, Hamilton said.

According to ASP Ser-geant Darren Neal, two impacts occurred, with the cab hitting the train and then the trailer hitting the cab and the engine.

The engineer of the train was Garland Burt, of Prescott, who, according to preliminary reports,

was taken to Medical Park Hospital by private vehi-cle. No record of Burt be-ing treated was on record at either Medical Park, or St. Michael’s Hospital in Texarkana. No informa-tion on his condition was available at press time.

There was no official comment from Union-Pacific Railroad regarding the accident at press time Friday, and a UP spokes-man, Mark Davis, was not available at press time.

TEXARKANA- During the summer months, June, July and August two agencies that again and again work together to provide safe homes for children will team up to provide information for community mem-bers.

On the third Monday of each month, at Cari-nos Italian Restaurant from 5:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m., beverages and snacks will be provided for those seeking more information, sponsored by Carinos.

CASA volunteers have been proven to lessen the frequent upheaval that negatively impacts abused children’s edu-cation, friendships and sense of belonging. Chil-dren with a CASA volun-

teer are substantially less likely to spend time in long-term foster care or re-enter the system once placed in a perma-nent home.

A World for Children helps families provide foster homes for chil-dren in need.

Our families are so special – they rock a child in the middle of the night until the night terrors pass; they hold a child close and kiss away the tears; they cre-ate a gleam in the eyes of children who have lost their sparkle; they bring laughter to broken hearts; they open their homes and hearts to broken, battered chil-dren.

Jerry Fisk, National Living Treasure ABS Master Bladesmith of Nashville, recently donated 11 tactical knifes to the Howard County Sheriff’s Department for the officers to use in their official duties.

try complex manager Paul Britt immediately issued a statement after Needham’s death saying, “We’re saddened to report that one of our team mem-bers has died as a result of today’s tragic accident. He had been part of Tyson

for the past nine years. His job here at the mill involved unloading grain from rail cars. We extend our sincere sympathies to his family and friends.”

At that time, the mill employed about 30 peo-ple, however, only three – including Needham – was on-site when the silo collapsed. The other two were not hurt.

Meet the Vendors: Artee PorterHi, my name is Artee

Porter and I was born May 1, 1959. I grew up in Los Angeles, Calif., and moved to Tolette in 1975 when I was in the 10th grade. My wife is Brenda Porter. She was born Aug. 11, 1962 and works at Beard Polland. We met in high school. We have two children, Artee Jr., 30, Kristie, 25, and one granddaughter, Trinity. Besides selling at the Farmers’ Mar-ket, I also sell fishing weights through eBay at “Artee’s Custom Fish-ing Sinkers.”

My interest in gar-dening began early. When I was 10 years old, I started selling flower and vegetable seeds door to door for the American Seed Company. I had my own little garden in the back yard where I grew

carrots, tomatoes, and other vegetables. After moving back to Arkan-sas, I continued to have a garden and gave away a lot of produce to my neighbors.

I became interested in the Farmers’ Market when I saw a notice in the Nashville News about a Growers’ Meet-ing for the new Market. I watched RFD-TV and was already sold on the benefits of a local market – especially or-ganic. I was also a John Denver fan and was inspired by his “back to earth” messages.

I grow a variety of vegetables, specializ-ing in hot pepper and I make my own hot pep-per sauce. I use all or-ganic fertilizers and try to use only organic methods for ridding bugs and other pests.

I also grow worms and use worm tea in plant-ing out my seedlings. Come by my stall at the market and I’ll tell you my simple method for making worm tea – and I’ll also give you a pack-et of my “secret” sea-soning recipe to make your own hot sauce.

I like to fish, and I enjoy wood-working projects such as mak-ing cedar chests. I also enjoy playing the guitar and am a pretty good D.J.

For the future, I en-vision more and more interest in the Market, and more diversity – such as adding cook-ing demonstrations, recipes and pointers on preserving food, whether it be canning, freezing or drying, and learning ways to fertil-ize and combat pests

Artee Porter

in a completely organic manner. Also teaching everyone the benefits of buying locally grown produce.

If you want to grow your own garden, I have three bits of advice: Start small,

prepare and condition your soil before you plant, and have a lot of patience.

I especial ly advise shoppers to come to the market and get to know us, your farmers. We are a very friendly group and

we want to get to know you! If you have garden-ing questions, all the ven-dors are very knowledge-able. You’ll walk away with some nice nutritious vegetables and a different perspective on gardening.
