    Any erroneous statement published in the newspaper will be

    gladly and promptly corrected after management is notified.

    The News is a twice weekly publication.

    The New York Times reports rising oil prices could

    imperil the fragile economic recovery. Duh, they have that right.

    Here in God’s Country we have no mass transit, no buses, no trains or subways. We are dependent on our cars and trucks to take us to work, take us to school, take

    us to church. If America suffers from higher gasoline prices, we are on the front lines.

    Some are wondering about the recent rise in the price

    of a gallon of gasoline. The price is more a refl ection of a weaker dollar than anything else. Oil is sold on the open markets in dollars.

    For example, if a German merchant decides to buy a shipment of oil, the merchant has to turn his German marks into dollars to buy from Saudi Arabia.

    Ultimately this means the average German pays more

    for gasoline than Americans do. When I lived in London, England, people who could

    afford a car bought gasoline in liters and the amount was over $7 a gallon, but most people did not own cars.

    Because of our debt problems here in the United States, the federal authorities have been printing dollars out of thin air like mad.

    The Saudi Arabians know this and demand more dol-lars for their oil. Can’t blame them, can you? This trans-lates into higher prices at the pump for you and me. Four dollars a gallon is here and $5 a gallon is on its way.

    The bigger question is, if the value of the dollar is being infl ated away, what currency replaces it on the world’s stage? Good question.

    One of my favorite fi nancial guru, Larry Edelson of Real Wealth Report, predicts a behind closed door agreement has already been reached between the Chi-nese, who hold the largest amount of our debt, and the United States to replace the dollar with some kind of currency.

    Edelson believes, and so do I or I would not be quot-ing him, that dollars will still be the medium of exchange here in the United States, but when you go abroad, you

    will have to change your dollars to another currency.

    All debts must be paid and the U.S. debt is unsustain-able. No paper currency has ever survived and alas the

    dollar will not either. The bottom line is higher gasoline

    and food prices are resulting from a weaker dollar.At the end of the day, no one can predict what good

    ole boys driving pick up trucks and SUVs will do once

    they start having to pony up fi ve $20s a tank to fi ll up.

    Ready for $5 gallon gasoline?

    “The borrower is servant to the lender.’’ Prov. 22:7

    One thing is clear fol-lowing the Madison, Wis-consin teacher’s union pro-tests, and it has nothing to

    do with unions, Governor

    Scott Walker or even his proposal that the teachers

    give up their collective

    bargaining rights and start

    paying a portion of their healthcare and retirement.

    The only undeniable

    fact produced by days of non-stop news coverage surrounding the unrest is

    that the metaphor has been

    rendered completely use-less as a literary tool.

    It became that way pre-cisely because it has been

    overused - both by the media in comparing the

    events in the northern Unit-ed States to the recent over-throw of Egyptian Presi-dent Hosni Mubarak and by protesters on the ground

    who couldn’t resist the urge

    to compare Walker to Hitler and his administration to

    the Third Reich.Consider the following

    slogans bandied about by

    the spurned teachers and

    those who sympathized

    with them (most of which were accompanied by im-

    ages of Walker sporting Hitler’s infamous mus-tache, emblazoned with

    swastikas):• “Hosni + Hitler = Dictator Scott Walker”• “Hitler outlawed unions, too!”

    • “Scott Mubarek [sic] GET OUT!”• “Madison is the new Cairo! Wisconsin teach-ers, nurses, fi refi ghters — shut the state down! All of working America is with

    u!”

    Does anyone really be-lieve that a democratically

    elected governor struggling

    with a $3.6 billion bud-get shortfall by reducing spending is in any way

    comparable to a dictator

    responsible for the slaugh-ter of nearly 14 million people?

    Are we really to be-lieve that the so-called ‘labor pains’ of the teachers whose base yearly salary is

    close to $50,000 are even

    remotely related to those

    felt by Egyptians forced to live on $2 a day?

    Both suggestions are ab-surd, and so are those who

    make them. Or, as Taki’s

    Magazine contributor Jim

    Goad notes, “It’s hard to empathize with the “suffer-ing” of people who have it better than you do, which

    is why I make it a point never to fl y to Zimbabwe and [complain] about the pinched nerve in my back.

    For these workers to groan

    about their condition is

    roughly as rude as walking

    into a roomful of cancer patients and whining that

    you stubbed your toe.”

    Goad is right, but this is

    only the latest in a long and

    sordid trend of analogizing minor struggles with exis-tential catastrophes at the

    expense of all reason.During the lead-up to

    the war in Iraq, when the jingoistic chest-beating of every cookie-cutter pundit likened embattled Iraqi President Saddam Hus-sein to the most vile public

    fi gure they could think of - Hitler, of course - America cheered the comparison on

    with impunity.

    In 2003, a government-funded study likened con-servative hero Ronald Rea-gan to Hitler and Mussolini.

    More recently, conserva-

    tive talk show host Rush Limbaugh told report-ers that President Barack Obama has “a healthcare logo that’s right out of Adolf Hitler’s playbook” and that “Adolf Hitler, like Barack Obama, also ruled by dictate.”

    Even internet web de-signers who programmed

    an application that would

    remove all references to pop superstar Justin Bieber from a viewer’s internet experience inspired this thoughtful commentary from a 15 year old critic: “I realize that you’re just stating an opinion, but what

    you’re doing is going back

    to World War II all over again. Hitler wanting to

    erase Jews from society -- you want to erase Justin Bieber.”

    This insanity has got to

    stop, if not because it’s idi-otic then because it elimi-nates any meaning that can

    be derived from any kind of analogy.

    Which means the reader who responds to this col-umn by calling me a ‘gram-mar Nazi’ is really saying

    nothing at all.

    Kelly Scott, 41, beloved wife/mother, Feb. 22Kelly Louise Boles-Scott de-

    parted this life to live with the Lord Tuesday, February 22,

    2011, at Howard County Memo-rial Hospital. She was the last child and the only girl born to Louella Ouise (Crosby) and the late Lewis Lee Boles on Feb. 27, 1969, in DeQueen.

    She quickly gained control of her father’s heart and became the center of attention in the Center Point community. Kelly’s smile could melt the heart of the coldest individual and brighten up the life of the saddest person.

    It was this loving and supportive com-munity that inspired Kelly to acknowledge her love for and belief in Christ, and be baptized at Wesley Chapel United Method-ist Church. She later continued her worship at Ebenezer United Methodist Church in Nashville, where she remained a faithful member. Kelly lived her faith every day and was a true and dedicated disciple of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Kelly instilled in her wonderful and beautiful girls the love of the Lord and of church fellowship.

    Kelly graduated from Nashville High School in 1988. She was employed by Poulan, Inc. (Electrolux) and later with the Howard County Children’s and Adult Cen-ter in Nashville. Never forgetting her roots and how important the community was to her parents, she was always willing to par-ticipate in the activities of the Center Point Homecoming and Cemetery Association.

    In 1997, while working at Poulan, she met Elbert Scott, who became her best

    out for a while unless we see extensive dam-age to our lot,” he said.

    Rural water director Ryan Stuckey presented the board with four bids, ranging in cost from $1,350 to $1,992, which he said he would keep in a file in case the board ever wanted to pursue the project again.

    Howard County may be awarded federal funds by the Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Pro-gram to supplement existing food and shelter programs.

    Congress has not appro-priated funds at this time but will make a decision shortly.

    A local board made up of the county judge, ministe-rial fellowship, area agency on aging and other organi-zations will determine how the funds awarded to How-ard County are to be distrib-uted among the emergency food and shelter programs run by local service agen-

    cies in the area. To be eligible, organi-

    zations must be private voluntary nonprofi t or units of government, have an accounting system, prac-tice nondiscrimination, and demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/or shelter programs. If they are a private voluntary organization, they must have a voluntary board.

    Qualifying organizations must contact Mellie Walker at 206 E. Howard, Nashville for an application.

    The deadline for submis-sion of applications is noon, Tues., March 8.

    Special to the News

    Want to get to the end of your life and have no regrets? First of all we have to fi nd out what causes regrets. The old saying, the grass is al-ways greener on the other side, it’s just not true,

    although it always appears that way. When you get over the fence you realize it was just a mirage.

    Children are a classic example: They wish they were 18 years old only to realize that making adult

    decisions brings adult consequences. As adults

    we long for our youth, oh how great it would be sometimes to only have to worry about school

    and all the other easy things. I now tell our youth don’t wish your life away; yet we as adults do the same thing.

    We go from wishing to waiting. We are always waiting on something that will make our life better.

    Somehow instead of being content with what we have or where we are at, we think that things

    would better if only; If only I had a better job –then my family could be happy. I could have a better house, a better vehicle, better clothes, a better

    computer, I could travel the world, take extrava-gant vacations, have a housekeeper, etc. etc. etc.

    Our whole life is passing by while we are in that constant state of pursuit for happiness.

    In this state of mind happiness is just right over there. Want no regrets? Quit waiting on people, places and things to make you happy.

    Happiness has not and never will come from the things of this world, they are fl eeting. Instead, focus on the Lord and what you can do for others; be content with what you have and take an inven-tory of the things God has already given you.

    If He has given you children, spend time with them, show them you love them. If it is a husband or wife, treasure the vows and commitment you made to each other and to God, don’t even think

    someone else could make you happier – it is not about you.

    If it is that old beat up truck or car, go outside and clean it up; be proud you don’t have to walk. Make your dwelling a place of peace and comfort. Take a walk around the outside and tell the Lord

    thank you, and then let the devil know he is not

    playing in your yard anymore.

    Take what you have and say “Thank you,

    Lord”. Remember – For everything that you may want a bigger, better version of – there is always a smaller, poorer version.

    There is no such thing as the best of the best; that is only a matter of opinion.

    When your time on earth is through, let there be no regrets on how you spent it. Spend time

    nurturing the grass you already have, not only will

    it be healthier, it will be greener!

    number one seed for the af-ternoon competition. They

    defeated Stuttgart in the fi rst round. Ashdown won their match on a challenge

    against Gosnell to face Nashville in the semifi-nal match. Ashdown had

    defeated Nashville in the semifi nal match at regional. This match was close but

    Nashville was able to pull

    away in the third round

    and send them to the fi nal match against Westside.

    After the fi rst round of 20 toss up questions the

    score was Nashville 70 - Westside 70. Six questions had been answered wrong

    in that round. The second

    round was a little more re-laxed the team was allowed to pull ahead by 55 points.

    This allowed Westside to choose the fi rst category for the lightning round. Base-ball, literature and geogra-phy were announced as the

    lightning round categories.

    The Nashville fans were pleased to hear geography

    announced. Hunter Guffy

    had entered the lightning

    round twice in the competi-tion assisting the team with

    10 of 10 correct answers and nine of 10 earlier in the day. Westside took the baseball category so

    Andy Graves entered the

    game in Alex Kwok‘s posi-tion. Westside was able to answer nine of 10 of the baseball questions allowing

    Nashville the opportunity

    to answer the missed ques-tion. Nashville failed to come up with the correct

    player that had the most ca-reer batting titles, Ty Cobb.

    Nashville answered six of nine questions correctly in

    the geography category and

    stalled on the 10th ques-tions giving Westside three more scoring opportunities.

    They were able to correctly

    answer one of the questions leaving the score at the end

    of the third round Nashville 210 - Westside 195.

    The fi nal round would be 20 toss up questions with

    Captain Luke Dawson, Alex Perrin, Alex Kwok and Cameron Alexan-der back at the table. The

    round was tough and it was

    very close. West side had answered five questions correctly and Nashville

    fourwhen Coach Tammy Alexander called time-out. The judges informed the crowd that there was

    three questions remaining.

    Westside answered the next question correctly giving

    them a fi ve point lead. The next question was missed by both teams.

    The fi nal question was, “Who was the last president to use the line item veto.”

    Westside had buzzed in be-fore the question was com-

    pleted read the moderator

    stopped and acknowledged

    the player. She missed the

    question and then the mod-erator finished the ques-tion… in 1997. Buzz…the moderator said, Nashville

    Alex Kwok answered Pres-ident Clinton. “Correct” announced the modera-tor. The team and parents

    jumped and clapped with

    excitement. The modera-tor asked that the score be

    announced and scorekeeper

    Tom Morrow said Nash-ville 260 - Westside 255.

    “You must have the bonds

    issued within six months of receiving the money,” Smith said.

    The board resolved to

    apply for $10.2 million in QSCBs in order to help fund an $11.4 million con-struction project proposed

    last month that includes ad-ditional class space, a new

    gymnasium and several

    improvements to various

    cafeteria areas.Smith cautioned that, be-

    cause there are only $33.5 million in QSCBs left, the school should expect to receive no more than $2

    The Nashville Parks & Recreation Commission will host its annual live auction fundraiser “March for Parks” on Thurs., March 31 at 6 p.m. at the Nashville City Park – Dogwood Pavilion.

    The park is currently seeking auction items or services

    for this event. Each year the park hosts this event to raise funds for major park projects and special events.

    For more information contact the Nashville City Park at (870) 845-7405.

    million.

    The remainder of the project will be funded by restructuring the school’s

    current bonds if voters ap-prove the measure in May.

    The proposal does not

    require a millage increase,

    but would require voters

    to extend the current mill-age, which is set to expire in 2014.

    “Anytime you can do a

    building and construction

    project with the interest rate

    at zero percent, it’s got to

    be attractive to the patron

    and the local tax payer who is fi nancing the proj-ect,” school superintendent

    Doug Graham said during an interview following the meeting.

    “If we waited until the normal, September school

    election, then that money

    is already gone and we

    lose out on the zero percent

    interest.”

    Graham added that he

    was confi dent the school would also receive funds from a State Department of Education partnership program.

    “We feel good that they’re gonna possibly ap-prove some of these proj-ects as partnership money,”

    he said.

    In related business, school officials voted to use a construction manager

    for the project at Graham’s

    recommendation.

    “My opinion is...we might as well get a fi rm on board to help us with the

    pre-construction process,” Graham said.

    “It seems like every big project now is going that

    way.”

    Hiring a construction

    manager differs from the traditional bid process in

    that any unused construc-tion monies will be re-turned to the school at the

    end of the project and any construction costs that run

    over the bid amount are

    the responsibility of the management fi rm.

    From The Barnyardby Mike Graves

    Mark Canaday told me this morning that he was

    concerned about the pos-sibility of a coming food shortage. Oh, no! And this assessment of our food situation only confi rmed my suspicion, especially

    coming from a grocer. I can nearly guarantee food will continue to go up until

    about the Fourth of July; a whole lot rides on the

    weather.

    Too many ingredients

    are coming together to

    create the perfect storm: millions of consumers are eating more food and pro-ducing less/none. Drought, freeze damage, rising fuel and production costs and

    the state of the economy are collectively rearing

    their ugly heads. (Some-how, our radio station is

    to blame. I don’t trust ‘em now that Pete and Annie

    Nell are retired.) Only poultry is predicted to stay

    at current prices... and

    trucking could make it go

    up.

    And it’s not just food agriculture - the price of cotton has skyrocketed

    and the race for produc-ing acreage against corn

    and soybeans has esca-lated, thanks to strong ex-ports, a weak dollar, Jerry

    Littlefi eld, and the ethanol scam.

    So, get ready for blue jeans to go up (and sus-penders, John Miller).

    (Oh me, you can’t even open the local paper to

    a podunk column with-out some whiny dodo

    head spreading doom and

    gloom.)Yeah, the voices in

    my head are deriding my

    words of wisdom. Even a King Press,

    and the bawl of a hun-dred weaning calves can’t

    drown the sound out of the scary individuals who take

    delight in demeaning me.

    Ya’ll know who they

    are: the usual smart alecks, the entire offi ce staff at a local animal hospital, and

    the ne’er-do wells at a lo-cal cafe.

    Oh, well, at least some of ya’ll are reading, and that means a lot to this boy.

    I appreciate it, and will do my best to make the

    tough news as entertaining

    as possible.

    A big corporate paper

    would fi re me, but so far the old Scrappers that own

    What will the Food Safety Modernization Act, if put into effect, do to Ms. Obama’s backyard gar-den? Congress has taken up the issue of food safety because of the headline-grabbing occurrences of, primarily bacterial, out-breaks of disease in fresh meat and produce. With the exception of eggs, most E. coli and Salmo-nella outbreaks are a result of human or animal con-tamination in the growing or processing of the prod-uct. This is the reason that organically grown produce is especially vulnerable. Unable to use chemical fertilizer, pesticides, or in-secticides, organic grow-ers must make an extra effort to reduce organisms carried by using manure fertilizer, invasive insects and vermin.

    I have a garden. I battle many of tomato’s natural adversaries! I appreciate how diffi cult it must be for a gardener to ward off the tomato worms, hungry caterpillars, beetles, grass-hoppers, bugs, birds and rodents by hand, to keep it “organic.” I use early sea-son Sevin and pyrethrums because I’m lazy, I guess, or just don’t have the time. Besides, I get healthier to-matoes and more of them!

    So what would the Food Safety bill have to do with Ms. Obama’s garden? Would she be allowed to take her tomatoes, lettuce and celery down to the Saturday morning Farm-er’s Market? Or serve them in a salad to guests of the White House? I expect the bill would limit her options. An FDA spokes-man said the Food Safety bill could actually “kill the very farmers they are try-ing to help.”

    Amendments that place lesser restrictions on smaller producers have been discussed to reduce their paperwork burden. But, does that make the product safer than blue-berries from Chile and avocados from Mexico? I don’t think so. Congress is trying to avoid elimi-nating the availability of home-grown fresh meat and produce to consumers with the new law. Some-times politics enters in and

    Owners:

    skews the science. Some amendments discussed even want to infl ict laws based on where the food is sold or how much the farmer earns, which has nothing to do with food safety!

    Under the Food Safety bill, will local co-ops, local producers, and Ms. Obama be required to place warn-ing labels on their radishes and zucchini? If she serves it to the French Ambassa-dor will she have to give a short announcement at the table like a fl ight at-tendant, “Ladies and Gen-tlemen, Joe and I will be serving you this afternoon, please give us your atten-tion. Eating of the legally unrestricted fresh food in front of you, none of which has been grown or processed or approved by the Food Safety Act, can result in distention, nausea and uncontrollable evacu-ation. Eat at our own risk. This room has several ex-its, please take note of the one nearest you. In case of a universal attack, em-esis bags will fall from the ceiling…”

    All of us in agriculture are concerned with these food-carried, usually ‘op-erator error,’ disease out-breaks, whether it stems from a packing-plant contamination of ground beef, fi eld contamination by fruit pickers, or fertil-izer contaminated home-grown cabbage.

    However, regardless of any laws passed, the risk of eating fresh food will always be there. In the fu-ture I can envision geneti-cally modifi ed foods or antibiotics that will resist, contain, or even prevent bacterial or fungal con-tamination in the growing process, and someday the government will get wise and require irradiation of fresh meat and produce that is marketed to the public.

    But, for now, I will con-tinue to grow my toma-toes and jalapeños, and I wouldn’t be afraid to eat out of Ms. Obama’s gar-den either. It’s hard to beat home-grown!

    The Southwest Arkansas counties of Howard, Pike, Montgomery, Polk, Scott and Sevier will conduct an area convention at the Howard County Fairgrounds Tuesday from 4 to 9 p.m.

    The spring conference will be held along with the How-ard County Cattlemen’s monthly dinner and meeting.

    A number of exhibits and promotional booths will be on display, beginning at 4 p.m., and educational programs will be presented starting at 6 p.m.

    Educational programs include health issues, costs of production, forage improvement topics and an Arkansas Cattlemen’s Association update.

    Sponsors for the conference include Caldwell Feeds, Crete Cast Products, First State Bank, Hope Tractor, Gen-try Chevrolet, The Nashville News, and Nashville and Di-erks Farmers Co-op.

    The 2011 Beef and Forage Workshop conducted by the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extesnsion Service was, by all accounts, a huge success. The program includ-ed speakers from various areas including beef specialist, industry and local county agent.

    Dr. Tom Troxel, Animal Science Department Head for

    Successful Beef and Forage Workshop heldthe Extension Service, presented a program on various management practices that can help cattle and forage pro-ducers reduce cost on their operation.

    Tina Murphy, a representative from Laura’s Lean Beef and Meyer’s Natural Angus, shared with producers the type of cattle they buy and market. She also shared the protocol that producers would need to follow to market their cattle as naturally raised cattle.

    Howard County Extension Agent Sherry Beaty talked about Five Steps to Better Pastures. Many of the manage-ment practices discussed were also designed to help pro-ducers reduce cost and better manage forages for a longer period of time.

    The Beef and Forage Workshop is an annual program conducted for cattle and forage producers. The program is usually held late February or March. For more infor-mation on other programs for cattle and forage producers, you may contact the Howard County Extension Offi ce for upcoming programs and events at 870-845-7517.

    WASHINGTON – U.S. Congressman Mike Ross of Prescott today issued the following statement in response to the passing of Airman First Class Corey C. Owens, USAF, who died from a non-combat related incident on Feb. 17, 2011, at

    Al Asad Air Base in Iraq in support of Operation New Dawn.

    Airman Fi rs t Class Owens, 26, of San Anto-nio, Tex., was assigned to

    the 47th Security Forces

    Squadron, Laughlin Air

    Force Base, Texas. His father resides in Sto-

    ry in Montgomery County.Statement from U.S.

    Congressman Mike Ross:“When we think of true

    heroes, we think of brave Americans like Airman

    First Class Owens who risk everything to defend free-dom and serve this great

    country.

    We will always be grate-

    ful for his selfless sacri-fi ce and he will be deeply missed by all who knew

    him.

    My thoughts and prayers go out to his parents and

    the rest of his family and friends during this very diffi cult time.

    I hope all Americans will remember and honor his

    legacy and sacrifice and thank each and every cou-rageous person who serves

    this nation in the Armed

    Forces.

    We are who we are as a nation because of patriots like Airman First Class Owens.”

    FOREMAN – The Mineral Springs Hornets suffered their fi rst losses of the season on their way to the 2A state

    tournament, falling to Strong 72-60 in the semifi nals and Junction City 68-54 in the consolation game.

    Mineral Springs secured their spot in the state tournament Wednesday with a win over Hampton, but the losses Friday

    and Saturday render the Hornets a four seed as they enter the tournament.

    The Hornets knew they were in a

    battle from the opening tipoff Friday, with Strong jumping out to an eight

    point lead, but Mineral Springs was able to tie the game by the end of the fi rst period despite an injury to Jason Ware.

    Junior Trevor Lewis stepped up big

    for the Hornets in the second period, draining five 3-pointers, to lead the Hornets to a 36-30 halftime lead.

    Strong was able to cut the Hornet lead

    to two in the third and as momentum

    swung their way, they were able to out-score Mineral Springs 25-9 in the fi nal period to claim a 12 point win.

    Lewis led the team with 21 points,

    followed by Dominique Lampkins with 14.

    Saturday wasn’t any kinder for the Hornets with Junction City claiming a 14 point win.

    The Hornets held a three point lead

    at halftime, but the Dragons seized the lead in the third and never looked back,

    claiming the three seed with the win.

    Lewis once again led the Hornets, this

    time with 17 points. Checketts scored 15 for Mineral Springs and Williams scored 14.

    The Hornets will travel to Monette Tuesday to face East Poinsett County in the 2A State Tournament. Tipoff will be 5:30 p.m.
