Voters approve 1 mill increase for County

libraries at DeValls Bluff, Hazen, Des ArcOn a very hot Special

Election Tuesday, the onemill tax increase forcounty libraries passedby a total vote of 349-189. Chairman Beth Rogers

of Hazen expressed thatthe Library Board “wouldlike to thank the voters ofPrairie County for show-ing their support in ourmillage election. Theoutcome of the specialelection clearly showsthat they value their pub-lic libraries and are keen-ly aware of how impor-tant they are to thegrowth of our communi-ties”.A first priority of the li-

brary board will be to re-open the DeValls Bluffbranch as soon as possi-ble. There are severalmatters that must be ad-dressed, as well as rein-stalling the computers.Since the 2015 budgetdid not allow for the op-eration of the DeVallsBluff Library, budgetaryconcerns will have to beaddressed in regard tostaffing, materials, utili-ties, etc. However, theboard hopes to havesome sort of serviceavailable in the very near

future. Once the librarybegins to receive the fullbenefits from the millageincrease, it is expectedthat the DeValls Bluff Li-brary will return to thesame level of operationas before it was closed onDecember 31, 2014.With the Lonoke

County Library sched-uled to dissolve itselffrom its Regional affilia-tion with Prairie Countyon Dec 31, 2015, Chair-man Rogers said “thateven with the millagepassage, there will benew unknown expensesrelated to Prairie Coun-ty’s losing access to vari-ous Lonoke Library func-tions on Dec. 31.”Both Rogers and Judge

Mike Skarda estimatethat annual revenuefrom the new one-milltax will be between$90,000-$100,000, ofwhich only 90% will bebudgeted for the Countylibrary system.Chairman Rogers also

advised that the January2015 reduction in hoursat the Des Arc Library(from five to four days)will return to five dayssoon as possible.

It’s not everyday we humans get to explore one of oursolar system’s 9 planets for the first time. But on July 14,NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft became the first to vis-it Pluto. The likes of the encounter haven’t been experi-enced in decades. NASA explored the solar system’srocky inner planets in the 1960s and early 70s, thegassier middle planets in the late 80s, and now is finallyadding the final piece of the puzzle by probing the icyworlds of the outer solar system.

Launched in January 2006, the spacecraft threadedthe needle through a 36-by-57 mile window in space --the equivalent of a commercial airliner arriving no moreoff target than the width of a tennis ball.

With its suite of optical, ultraviolet, and infrared im-aging tools, the New Horizons spacecraft swept pastPluto at a distance of about 7,800 miles, qualifying askissing distance to a planet that was then 3.11 billionmiles from Earth. From there, the 1,500-mile-wide (±‚planet would appear about as large as a basketball 4’away. Any closer, says Stern, and the images we get backwould be blurry. Any further away and we wouldn’t beable to see as many details.

Pluto’s largest moon, Charon, which is half the size ofthe planet, will be about 3 times farther away. The flybywas timed so that Charon would be on Pluto’s dark sideat that moment, so that the light reflected off the moonmight light up the far side. “Nonetheless we’ll still getvery good imagery,” says Stern.

The spacecraft’s trajectory was specifically planned tocatch glimpses of Pluto’s four tinier moons as well —Styx, Nix, Hydra, and Kerberos.

After a nine-year, 3 billion mile journey, New Hori-zons reached its closest approach to Pluto at 6:49 amCDT Tuesday, July 14. Scientists had to wait until Tues-day night to find out if New Horizons "phoned home,"transmitting to Earth a series of status updates to indi-cate the spacecraft survived the flyby and was in goodhealth. A collision with a particle as small as a grain ofrice could’ve incapacitated the spacecraft. The "call"was received about 8:30 pm CDT Tuesday, with first im-agery received the next day, Wednesday, as it takes light4.5 hours, traveling at 186,000 mps, the distance fromNew Horizons to Earth.

With a temperature of 360° Fahrenheit, Pluto was ap-propriately given the Roman name for the god of the un-derworld in Greek mythology. Pluto’s average distancefrom the sun is nearly four billion miles, and it takes ap-proximately 248 years to complete one orbit.

Pluto has a thin atmosphere that’s a lot like Earth’s incomposition, containing nitrogen, oxygen and smallamounts of methane, carbon monoxide, and hydrocar-bon. Pluto also has weather, including snow, and likemany of the frigid worlds of the outer solar system, may

harbor an ocean beneathits surface.

Pluto’s moon, Charon, isso large in comparison toPluto itself, that the moondoes not orbit it likeEarth’s moon. Instead, liketwo ice skaters spinning,Pluto and Charon orbitaround a center of gravitythat’s somewhere in be-tween them, forming a bi-nary planet system.

In 2006, Pluto wasdowngraded from a planetto a dwarf planet, whichmany scientists have beenfighting ever since.

So, When Will HumansGet To See Some AwesomeStuff? Not soon enough!The spacecraft will blastthrough Pluto’s system at aspeed of about 35,000mph, snapping photosand collecting data for 12days. The informationgathered will be stored on-board the spacecraft, to bebeamed back bit by bit,across almost 5 billionmiles of space, over thenext 16 months.

While there, the space-craft will measure the sur-face geology and composi-tion of Pluto and its largestmoon, Charon. There willbe stereo maps showinghow high the mountainsare and how low the val-leys are.

After flying by Pluto andCharon, the spacecraft willturn back and watch thesun rise and set behind

Pluto and Charon. As the sun shines through Pluto's at-mosphere, it will highlight any clouds or rings that mayhover nearby, and also tell scientists what's in inside thetiny planet's atmosphere.

Pluto and moon, Charon - artist concept

David Shukman, right, talks to Al Tombaugh, left,whose father Clyde discovered Pluto Feb. 18, 1930, asjust a faint point of light, using a telescope in Flagstaff,Arizona.

Al Tombaugh was pleased that a sample of his fatherClyde's ashes is on board New Horizons, speeding pastPluto and now heading into the unexplored realm of theKuiper Belt.

By David CornAuthor of best seller, “Hubris: Selling of the IraqWar)

The Pluto flyby will change our politics. Wars will notend because of a tiny spacecraft flying past a distantobject in our solar system. There are over seven billionpeople on planet Earth, and most of them may not evenhear about this event. But some will hear about it, andthey will realize that it is an American spacecraft doingthis, just as they saw an American rover land on Marsand American spacecraft orbit Jupiter and Saturn.

NASA is one of the greatest goodwill ambassadorsthat the United States has. NASA demonstrates Ameri-can ingenuity and quality and capability. It is the ulti-mate example of soft power, convincing other coun-tries that the United States is a country to be admired

and befriended. This is not a big thing,not a ratchet of a gear in global powerpolitics. But this flyby, this accomplish-ment, adds a marker in the plus columnfor America’s standing in the world.

The gang at ISIS might not be im-pressed. But this feat—the UnitedStates spending close to $1 billion so theentire world can learn more about the far reaches of thesolar system we share — does convey a positive mes-sage about the nation. We're not just a country that haspromoted torture, pioneered death-by-drone, andpoured climate-changing emissions into the atmos-phere. We're exploratory emissaries for the humanrace. Earth, meet Pluto, courtesy of the USA!

Pluto flyby could lead to big changes on Earth . . .everything from pop culture to politicsAlthough, ISIS gang may not be impressed

“contrast”PALM SPRINGS, Calif. -- Arkansas Republicans get

a crude if quite rich buffoon with no chance for hisparty’s bid, let alone the White House. Arkansas De-mocrats get their party’s presumptive presidentialnominee who, though it is still early, leads all comers.

It matters not much that the state’s GOP faithful re-gard Hillary Clinton as an ultra-liberal (and quite rich)threat to the American way of life, to even the nation’svery existence. In what I suspect is the calculus of herpresidential campaign she has already written off, oris prepared to write off, the state where she onceserved as First Lady. She returns to Arkansas, to ad-dress the state party’s annual Jefferson-Jackson Daydinner, to rally volunteers who might be useful in oth-er states, and to put some money in its sagging coffersand to add some money to her plentiful campaign ac-count, and to see some old friends, and because shewould have been accused of writing the state off hadshe not come, and because she had an open date. Inabout that order.

Donald Trump is speaking to the state GOP’s coun-terpart event, its Reagan-Rockefeller Dinner, the nightbefore. Since none of the 200 or so Republicans run-ning for president have any known ties to Arkansasand thus no geo-specific claim to its affections, andbecause our state is regarded as a cinch bet to again goRed, perhaps Trump was the best, maybe the only,speaker available of any name identification. Evi-dently he is quite the draw, however, since Republicanofficials have moved the festivities to a larger venue.

We ought to be fair and acknowledge that Trumpwas secured as the GOP dinner’s attraction well beforehe uttered his coarse, racist rants about Mexicans,whether they be below our southern border or in theU.S., legally or no. And before his half-hearted “clari-fication” that some Mexicans might be decent peopleand not rapists and murderers bringing horrendousdiseases to the land of the free. So it could be thatstate GOP officials are cringing at Trump’s arrival, fear-ful of what he may say next in the guise of truth-telling, just as their national counterparts are distanc-ing themselves as best they are able without jeopard-izing that portion of the Republican “base” that findsthe New Yorker’s rhetoric spot on. Political operativesso frequently resemble the corporate executives uponwhom they have come to rely: much as CEOs eager toappease securities analysts and nervous shareholdersconcentrate on the next quarterly earnings report in-stead of the next decade, partisans focus on the nextelection rather than the shape of the electorate adecade hence. Penny wise and pound foolish, too of-ten the American way.

No sooner had I arrived here than the U.S. CensusBureau confirmed what had long been anticipated :Latinos in California now outnumber, if by a fraction,whites. California, with 55 electoral votes, 20 percentof the 270 needed to win the presidency. California,regarded as in-the-bag Blue (absent a hopelessly ineptDemocratic nominee). Blue and likely to get bluer,thanks to demographic trends and such as Trump.

Saner voices in the GOP (Senators John McCain andLindsey Graham spring to mind) have been pleadingwith their party for years to embrace sensible immi-gration reform (and the political benefits it would pro-duce) only to have their efforts scuttled by, primarily,their own Republican colleagues. Companion ap-peals by the U.S. corporate community have fallen onears deafened by the howls of the arch-conservativeswho rule in the early caucus and primary states.

Latinos are but a fraction of Arkansas’s eligible vot-ing population (51,000, or about two percent, accord-ing to a Pew study) and their political muscle negligi-ble -- thus far. Save for a few local races they can be ig-nored -- thus far. Why any organization would not on-ly ignore their potential but celebrate a candidate whohas outdone his peers in blanket defamation of theirethnicity is just one of the political marvels of our age,all the more so for the social conservatism that is thebedrock of contemporary Republicanism. Latinoaversion to same-sex marriage and abortion, to men-tion but two components, fits neatly with GOP ortho-doxy. But when their ethnicity is repeatedly slurredand only mumbled apologies are offered, who canblame them for deciding their interests are betterserved by another entity?

The Reagan that the Arkansas GOP will toast at itsdinner was fond of toasting his party as “the big tent”and, a longtime Californian, was at ease in his adopt-ed state’s ethnic mix. The Rockefeller whose name ap-pears alongside Reagan’s broke down racial barriers inhis adopted state as no other Republican or Democ-rat. What would they make of their party? Its dinner?And the entertainment?

I have now received twoissues of the White RiverJournal by e-mail and withmy son, Michael, have ex-posed them to all the inter-net tricks we know.

We both found excellentresults in the program andneedless to say, in thepaper. The picture cover-age of the Plunkett-Nicholsbuilding removal was ex-cellent in concept and inquality of pictures. I, per-sonally, prefer newspapersto the electronic media butthen I didn’t like pizza for25 years, and then I hadsome.

I feel compelled to com-ment on some recent poli-cal happenings involvingTexas and Arkansas.

I have lived in Texas 53years now but was bornand grew up in Arkansasand educated in its publicschools and colleges, fivethat I recall, and will alwaysconsider myself anArkansan.

Of late, I seem to note acontest between the twostates’ political entities to

determine which can be-have more stupidly.

The so called “religiousfreedom” statute whichArkansas adopted andquickly amended, seems tobe the boiler-plate for theBill the Texas Lege is nowconsidering.

It will probably pass andI doubt that it will beamended regardless of crit-icism unless if it hurts busi-ness, the great god of Texasgovernment.

It is possible that withtwo U.S. Senators each,Arkansas may equal thestupid mark of the Texasdelegation although TedCruz has set the bar veryhigh.

Senator Cotton’s letter toIran is so Cruz-like I won-der if Ted collaboated. Yes,the Senate is running neckand neck but Arkansaswith four congressmencannot compete with the37 (I believe) from Texas.

In fact Gohmert, fromTyler, could probably de-feat Arkansas by himself.Some are just talented.

Which brings me to an-other subject. Since Cot-ton and Cruz are graduatesof the Harvard Law school,there is an assumptionthey are wise. High I.Q.’s,maybe by rote learning,may indicate intelligencebut wisdom comes fromone’s attitude toward life.

I have known a numberof Harvard lawyers andfind them a mixed bag. Ionce opposed a Harvardlawyer who was also presi-dent of the local MENSAchapter and soundly de-feated him in a civil case.

He actually asked me, inopen court, what my I.Q.was. This was before theCourt’s decision and wasasked in a very deprecatingfashion. You don’t studywisdom, you accumulateit, if you are open to the ab-sorption.

My next vote for presi-dent (should I live so long)may depend on the candi-date’s pledge to make atleast his or her first two

Supreme Court appoint-ments from Law Schoolsoutside the Ivy League.

Finally, the quality ofour state and national leg-islatures lies fully at thefeet of the voting popula-tion. While our State, Na-tion and the world arefaced with huge problemsi.e. over population, risingof the ocean due to globalwarming, overfishing (star-vation) of the ocean, watershortages (not just in Cali-fornia), pandemic new dis-eases, the scourage of rap-idly growing autism, weseem to be able to think ofnothing at voting time butabortion, gay marriage,voting rights and religiousfreedom.

The latter two items in-volve fixing problems thatdon’t exist.

My late mother said onone occasion that “the onlything that would fix PrairieCounty politics was a largenumber of funerals”.

I have to concede thatmy generation, in spite ofsome great accomplish-ments, have screwed it upgood.

Keep up the good work. Joe M. PirtleAttorney and Counsellor

Dear Journal,Enclosed is a check for

We had two more babiesthis year. We have no gar-den. BIll wasn’t able as hehad to have his wrist fused.However, we had someEnglish peas last week andI got to shell them.

I always liked the springand the smell of freshlyplowed farms. If you are afarmer, you never forgetthat no matter how old youget.

It is getting supper timebut I don’t cook anymore.Melanie does and Bill is re-ally a good cook. I toldhim, “If you ever need ajob, go to any eating place.”He is a great chef.

There is really not muchto do but if I was in DesArc, there would be.

Hope all are feeling well.Florence Stine Mitchell47923 Middle Ridge Rd.Amherst, Ohio 44001

Ramblings. . . .by Verna Herkamp

Old Fashioned, Outdated and Behind the Times arephrases I would admit describe me. I am thinking thelength of women’s skirts have about reached their upperlimit. A couple of Sunday’s ago, I was watching a Sundaymorning church service at one of the mega churches. Ayoung lady was standing on stage singing one of the oldhymns. She was wearing a mini skirt. When you readthe word “mini” it is in small letters. To my old fash-ioned values, something just didn’t look right about thatpicture.

On this morning’s local news, a reporter was inter-viewing a young lady wearing a strange looking helmetlike hat. When the reporter asked her about it, she saidit was part of their religious beliefs. She belonged to the“church of the flying spaghetti monster”, which had 200members. The Bible tells us in the last days there wouldbe strange gods, but I never pictured spaghetti as a god.

Frisco, Texas, where I live, is listed as the third fastestgrowing town in America. It’s 30 minutes north of Dal-las. It is part old and part new. The Dallas Cowboys newpractice field, entertainment center and other modernplaces of enjoyment is now being built here.

In the old part of Frisco, an old cattle trail, called Pre-ston Trail, is now Main Street. My doctor’s office is locat-ed in that part of town. Two blocks over, is a ranch for-merly known as the South Fork Ranch. Remember J.R.and the Ewings? As the crow flies, it is about one-thirdmile from our house.

The first part of the television show was filmed there.The house burned and the last half of the show wasfilmed in Plano, which is between Frisco and Dallas.The framework of the new house still stands, but wasnever finished because the couple who owned the prop-erty divorced. Even though I was never a fan of theshow, my husband was. Still, it makes me sad to pass byit. It stands so tall and is like a skeleton monument tothe past.

Arkansas will always be home to me but I have en-joyed some of the differences in things I have seen andlearned while living here. Most of it while sitting in myrocking chaiar.

Texas is known for its longhorn cattle, especiallyaround Fort Worth. They have the annual cattle drivedown the streets of Fort Worth. The old bull who use tolead the drive, has been retired. Evidently, the long-horns are a gentle breed. They followed that old bull ab-sentmindedly as if they were going down the lane backto the pasture to graze. They have real cowboys who doreal roundups after a herd has gotten out of the pastureonto unfenced land and highways.

The long horns can be as much as eight feet from tipto tip. One cowboy said they are hard to get the ropeabout the horns due to the their wide width. They aredefinitely not beef cattle. They are so much a part ofTexas’ past, I doubt if they will ever just be a part of his-tory.

Scripture: Romans 7:15-25Most of us are familiar with one ver-

sion or another of the Hulk’s origins:they all center around a huge overdoseof gamma radiation that, when trig-gered by some painful or angeringevent, turns the mild-mannered DavidBruce Banner into the Incredible Hulk,a being with incredible strength, speed,agility, and a total lack of conscience.

In the end, however, we see the manBruce Banner constantly struggling forcontrol with the Hulk. He is repulsed bythe actions of the Hulk, and laments hisevery violent move.

That is Bruce Banner’s struggle; andthe reason I bring it up today is becauseit is our struggle as well. For inside eachof us is a hulk; a monster that occasion-ally gets out and wreaks havoc on oursurroundings. True, your beast may notbe as physically violent as the big GreenHULK, but violence takes many forms.It may be a harsh tongue, or gossip (cut-ting someone down behind their back),or slander, or bad language, or rage,or…these are all things that Paul lumpstogether in his writings. Not good com-pany to keep, huh?

Sure, we try to hide it, try to run offinto the woods when the monster ap-pears, we try to cover it up, or try todrown it with chemicals, but it comesout in other ways, even more destruc-tive ways. And most interesting of all isthat we try to hide it from God! Heknows it all! There IS no hiding fromhim!

The root of all of these troubles is sin.Jesus said in John 8:34: “everyone whosins is a slave to sin.”

Our Scripture is a portion of the letterPaul wrote to the Romans. Paul is writ-ing to the church at Rome, a church hedid not start, and he is sharing some ofhis core understandings about humannature, sin, grace, and the work ofChrist.

In this section of Romans, Paul hasbeen discussing the relationship of oursinfulness with our fallen human na-ture. In our Scripture, the argument isamong faithful believers. Is Paul talkingabout himself or is he using a rhetoricalor speech strategy of taking on the voiceof someone else in order to explain ob-jections or give examples.

I could be wrong but I believe thatPaul is not talking about his own strug-gles; it makes more sense given what hehas written before this passage. NewTestament professor Ben Witheringtonbelieves that Paul is taking on the voiceof one who has not yet accepted Christas Savior, but who has begun to feel aconviction about the sin in their lives.Verse 15 speaks of the tension, ambiva-lence, and confusion that are part of thestruggle. Verse 17 is a statement of thegreat power it can have over a personeven one who is struggling to overcometheir sin. In verse 21 the use of law hasthe sense of a principle or eu-phameism. It also along with Verse 23speaks of the battle that takes place be-tween the law of God and the tendencytoward sin that is raged in the heart ofsomeone pushing toward belief and aswe know ourselves the battle we stillface sometimes as believers.

So how do we face the monster with-in and manage and sort out the emo-tions that are a symptom of our strug-gle? My friend Carl Palmer who is theAssociate Pastor of Missions and Out-reach at Central UMC in Fayettevilleand state representative for CelebrateRecovery Ministries has a list of steps tohelp us manage those emotions.

Steps in managing out-of-controlemotional responses (like anger):

Find triggers - It's best to find outwhat it is that triggers your anger, andthen to develop strategies to keep thosetriggers from tipping you over the edge.

Relaxation - There are books andcourses that can teach you relaxationtechniques.

Breathe deeply, from your di-aphragm; breathing from your chestwon't relax you. Picture your breathcoming up from your "gut."

Slowly repeat a calm word or phrasesuch as "relax," "take it easy." Repeat itto yourself while breathing deeply.

Use imagery; visualize a relaxing ex-perience, from either your memory oryour imagination.

Nonstrenuous, slow stretching canrelax your muscles and make you feelmuch calmer.

Cognitive Restructuring - Simplyput, this means changing the way youthink. In my experience I call it chang-ing the soundtrack in your mind. Angrypeople tend to curse, swear, or speak inhighly colorful terms that reflect theirinner thoughts. When you're angry,your thinking can get very exaggeratedand overly dramatic. Try replacing these

thoughts with more rational ones. Forinstance, instead of telling yourself,"oh, it's awful, it's terrible, everything'sruined," tell yourself, "it's frustrating,and it's understandable that I'm upsetabout it, but it's not the end of theworld and getting angry is not going tofix it anyhow." Remind yourself thatgetting angry is not going to fix any-thing and that it won't make you feelbetter (and may actually make you feelworse).

Logic defeats anger, because anger,even when it's justified, can quickly be-come irrational. So use cold hard logicon yourself. Remind yourself that theworld is "not out to get you," you're justexperiencing some of the rough spots ofdaily life. Do this each time you feelanger getting the best of you, and it'llhelp you get a more balanced perspec-tive.

Problem Solving Sometimes, ouranger and frustration are caused byvery real and inescapable problems inour lives. Not all anger is misplaced,and often it's a healthy, natural re-sponse to these difficulties. There isalso a cultural belief that every problemhas a solution, and it adds to our frus-tration to find out that this isn't alwaysthe case.

The best attitude to bring to such asituation, then, is not to focus on find-ing the solution, but rather on how youhandle and face the problem. Make aplan, and check your progress along theway. Resolve to give it your best, butalso not to punish yourself if an answerdoesn't come right away. If you can ap-proach it with your best intentions andefforts and make a serious attempt toface it head-on, you will be less likely tolose patience and fall into all-or-noth-ing thinking, even if the problem doesnot get solved right away.

Better Communication Angry peopletend to jump to—and act on—conclu-sions, and some of those conclusionscan be very inaccurate. The first thingto do if you're in a heated discussion isslow down and think through your re-sponses. Don't say the first thing thatcomes into your head, but slow downand think carefully about what youwant to say. At the same time, listencarefully to what the other person issaying and take your time before an-swering.

It's natural to get defensive whenyou're criticized, but don't fight back.Instead, listen to what's underlying thewords: the message that this personmight feel - neglected and unloved. Itmay take a lot of patient questioning onyour part, and it may require somebreathing space, but don't let youranger—or a partner's—let a discussionspin out of control. Keeping your coolcan keep the situation from becoming adisastrous one.

Using Humor "Silly humor" can helpdefuse rage in a number of ways. Forone thing, it can help you get a morebalanced perspective. When you getangry and call someone a name or referto them in some imaginative phrase,stop and picture what that word wouldliterally look like. If you're at work andyou think of a coworker as a "dirtbag"or a "single-cell life form," for example,picture a large bag full of dirt (or anamoeba) sitting at your colleague'sdesk, talking on the phone, going tomeetings. Do this whenever a namecomes into your head about anotherperson. If you can, draw a picture ofwhat the actual thing might look like.This will take a lot of the edge off yourfury; and humor can always be reliedon to help unknot a tense situation.

Changing Your Environment Some-times: it's our immediate surroundingsthat give us cause for irritation and fury.Problems and responsibilities canweigh on you and make you feel angryat the "trap" you seem to have falleninto and all the people and things thatform that trap.

First and most important, we need tohand these things over to God. We needto release them to God in prayer andspend time talking to God when we feellike picking them back up again. Wecannot exercise total self-control; butthat is a fruit of the Spirit; one of the by-products of having Jesus as Lord of yourlife. Without Jesus in charge in your life,we are, as Francis Frangiopan put it, “Awalking civil war”

I want to invite you to lift those emo-tional or other “monsters” you arestruggling with to God. God is the one Ibelieve who can give us the strengthand endurance to change, but we needto lay those things at his feet in order tosee a difference.

May God bless you this week.

By Charlotte Libov, CardiologistAspirin is the safer choice for the mil-

lions of people who take over-the-counterpain relievers like Advil or Aleve to dealwith headaches or arthritis, a top cardiolo-gist says.“People who take these drugs to deal

with the pain from inflammation need torealize that these medications are not safefor daily use,” Chauncey Crandall, M.D.,tells Newsmax Health. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration

last week issued a new warning regardingibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and naproxen(Aleve), saying that they increase the riskof heart attack and stroke. The medications are a category of pain

reliever called nonsteroidal anti-inflam-matory drugs or NSAIDs. Special: Do You Have These Alzheimer's

Warning Signs? Rate Your Memory Now.The new warnings will apply to pre-

scription NSAIDs as well as over-the-counter drugs.Aspirin is also an NSAID, but it is not in-

cluded in the warning because it is saferfor heart health, the FDA said.“Aspirin is the safer choice for those suf-

fering from chronic pain,” said Dr. Cran-dall, author of the Heart Health Reportnewsletter. “We’ve had hundreds of years of experi-

ence with aspirin and its precursors, goingback to ancient times, and it has a goodsafety profile.” Doctors are concerned about people

with chronic pain who use NSAIDs on aregular basis, even if they have good hearthealth, said Dr. Mark Creager, president ofthe American Heart Association and direc-tor of vascular medicine at Brigham andWomen’s Hospital in Boston. "Even after just several weeks of use of

an NSAID, the risk of heart attack or strokegoes up,” said Dr. Creager. “The risk is highwith regular use, and it’s likely that the riskis greater when higher doses of thesedrugs are used.”The new warnings are the result of re-

cent studies of the heart effects of NSAIDs,but ibuprofen and naproxen have otherdetrimental effects as well, said Dr. Cran-dall.

Special: New Probiotic Fat Burner TakesGNC by Storm“These drugs are hard on the kidneys

and make people vulnerable not only toheart attacks, but to kidney failure aswell," he said.While aspirin is safer than other

NSAIDs, there are alternative ways to dealwith chronic pain, according to Dr. Cran-dall."We are a society in which people think

they can just pop a pill whenever some-thing bothers them instead of looking intonon-drug methods,” he said.Current labeling on over-the-counter

ibuprofen and naproxen warns patients totake the lowest dose possible for the leastamount of time possible, and to not usethem for longer than 10 days.The new warnings go further by stating

that people with high blood pressure orheart disease should consult a doctor be-fore using the pain relievers. They alsostate that while risk increases the longerthe drugs are taken, people can suffer aheart attack or stroke in the first few weeksof use. The labeling will also note that NSAIDs

increase a person's likelihood of heart fail-ure, and that in their first year after a heartattack, patients treated with such medica-tions are more likely to die than heart at-tack victims who do not take them. Here are Dr. Crandall’s tips for nondrug

relief from chronic pain:If you suffer from arthritis or other

types of joint pain, lose weight. As the rateof obesity has gone up, so has that forarthritis. Losing weight takes stress offjoints. Special: The One Thing You Should Do

for Your Prostate Every MorningTry eliminating gluten from your diet,

as gluten can result in inflammation,which translates to chronic pain.Products that contain milk protein also

have been linked to inflammation-causedpain.•Drink a small glass of cherry juice or

eat a handful of cherries daily. Multiplestudies have found that antioxidant-richcherries can also help lower pain-causinginflammation.

Good Ole’ Days . . .By Lou Speed

Igrew up in a very simple way - nocomputers, no I-phones, Ipads,Tweets etc. We were not even al-

lowed to use calculators in class at school.We made our own fun. One fun thing

was to bend a lard can lid and nail it to astick, then you rolled a barrel ring formiles. We had bag swings, tire swings andeven board swings. Then, there was the‘flying jenny’ - I sailed off it one time andneeded stitches - but it was taped togeth-er.We had no choice but to walk every-

where and thought nothing of how far itwas. We would walk to McGee Lake to fishand swim. I understand it is no longereven there. We would look for arrowheadson Billy Young’s place near the lake - Ifound lots of them but don’t know wherethey are now.On the way to the lake, we would cross

the Barlow Bridge (only people who havelived around there know where that is)and to my little legs, it was really some-thing. On one of our trips back home, mysister and I sat on the edge of that bridge,our feet touched the ground. Did itchange that much, or did I?

Everyone says, “the world is changing,”but as James’ wise grandmother said, “Itisn’t the world; it’s the people in it.” Jamesgrew up right here on this dairy farm, andwould you believe that he has never seena rattlesnake? Daddy had a Prince Albertcan full of rattlers from snakes he hadkilled. My brother had that and I don’tknow where that is either.When the Holy Woods got under water,

Mr. Holloway would drive the school busthrough but when it went down, we hadto get out and walk in that gumbo mud.He was afraid the bus would slide. Hiswife, Mrs. Lilly, would not get off - onetime my older sister decided if Mrs. Lillydidn’t get off she wouldn’t either. Shestubbornly refused to get off. I thoughtfor sure, Mr. Holloway would make herget off, but thank goodness, he didn’t. Shedidn’t try it again though. The water alsogot over our two-mile road between Mr.Troy Boggan’s and Mr. Blackwood’s. Dad-dy and some more men went down andput a plank up to the first fencepost,across the top of the fence and down onthe other side. Don’t know of anyone whoever fell off and it was fun for us. We did-n’t want the water to go down because weenjoyed it.

I remember going to see Melba Bogganand every time we sat down at their tableand looked at each other, we would getthe silly giggles. Mr. Boggan would tell usif we didn’t stop we would have to leavethe table. Needless to say, we almost al-ways had to leave the table. Still don’tknow why we did it, but still get tickledwhen I think of it.Marjorie West, Juanita and Naomi Eans

would come on weekends to spend thenight which meant pallets on the floor infront of the door - usually the coolestplace. We didn’t even have fans andwiring for electricity. It stopped at UncleCuby Keathley’s - that was a mile from usand it was a long time later that they fi-nally made it to our house. Kathleen Tur-nage would stay with Irma and we lovedto tag along because they were older. Butthey would usually run us off. As you getolder, four years doesn’t seem so muchdifference, but it was then.A lot of things were different then.

They stacked cords of chemical wood onthe side of the road as it was cut. DonEans came by each cord and did some-thing - I still don’t know what. The firsttime I said “chemical wood” in Mississip-pi, they really laughed at me, and said,

“Do you mean pulp wood?” Guess I didlike ‘chiggers’ - they have red bugs hereand they still itch, no matter what theyare!When I was born, Irma was 4; Carlton

was 2. My grandfather was a doctor buthe was in Little Rock or somewhere.Mother sent Irma and Carlton to get AuntCecile and that was a mile away. It was ahot July day when those two went out ontheir way. Mr. Lori Eans lived between usand Uncle Cuby. When they got to Mr.Lori’s, his cows were napping in the road.Irma said she was so scared but Mothertold her how important it was to hurry.So, she took Carlton’s hand and gotthrough the cows. It all worked out. I’mhere, thanks to an aunt and two littleones. I can’t imagine. Sure wish they wereall still here today.Must go for now.

Our late Robert and Jimmie Sue Covington would be pleased to know their housewas moved instead of torn down. Jimmie Sue’s granddaughter, Sheila Marie Ball,bought the house and it was moved on Cross Roads Road last week. Jimmie Suealways told me (Opal) that Cross Roads stopped right before their house becausethey never knew stuff. So now, the house is very close to the Cross Roads inter-section. Looks so odd at the old homeplace with the house gone. (Photo taken infront of Bob and Opal Crider home)

By Brian WagnerPosted on Jul 9, 2015 in News (0) CommentsDrag racing is a family

affair at all levels, from thelocal bracket racing family,all the way up to the nitro-burning Force clan. In the LSX racing world

there’s a multi-genera-tional family that’s beenmaking some noise, andthings are getting evenlouder in 2015. The Rounsavall racing

family has experiencedsuccess over the years inthe LSX Challenge Series,and now young HaleyRounsavall is looking tomake a statement that girlscan race just as well as theguys.Rounsavall’s addiction

to speed can be tracedback to current Chevy Per-formance Stock class ace,her grandfather RonnieHackelton, who has beenracing since the 1960’s andowns an NMCA title wheel-ing his blown fifth-gen Ca-maro. If that wasn’t enough,

Rounsavall’s father, Kevin,is a two time LSX RealStreet Champion and wasthe first to crack the seven-second barrier in the class.It goes without saying thatthis family has race gas intheir veins.Rounsavall reminisces

fondly about what got herreally hooked into racing.“When I was younger I

watched a movie aboutErica Enders’ life, and im-mediately after watching Itold my parents that Iwanted to be like Ericawhen I grew up, that Iwanted to race like shedid.”After getting her license

and a fifth-gen Camaro,Rounsavall hit the trackand began making passes.But don’t think for one sec-ond she was just a test-n-tune hero — Rounsavallwas in it to win it.“In the fall of 2011, the

Arkansas High School DragRacing League was startedand I raced in the series forpoints that year. I won thefirst-ever High School DragRacing League race atPrescott, Arkansas andwent on to win four moreraces and the Champi-onship Race at CentervilleDrag way that year.”Last year Rounsavall

wheeled her grandfather’sC7 when she could getaway from her studies atthe University of Arkansas.In 2015 she turned thingsup a notch, stepping be-hind the wheel ofgrandad’s blown Camaroand competing in theNMCA Street King class,and has already been in thenine-second zone.Despite her reserved na-

ture, Rounsavall is there forthe competition.“My main goal for my

racing career is of course towin, but that’s not all. Iwant to prove to all theboys that a girl can race,too. ““Being a female in what

is mostly considered a “guy

sport” always makes mefeel like the underdog in arace, which I wouldn’tchange, because the lookon a guy’s face when heloses to a 21-year old girl ispriceless. ““I may not always win,

but if by just getting in mycar and trying, I can inspireother girls to get out thereand compete too, then it’sall worth it to me.”So be warned, if you see

a certain orange fifth-genblown Camaro pull up be-

side you in the lanes, don’tdiscount the female driver,because she’ll take thestripe and the win lightwithout thinking twice.Haley is the daughter of

Kevin and Christi Roun-savall of Hazen.

They en-joyed fireworks in Gatlinburg on the Fourth of July. While there, they also took in thebeautiful scenery and visited the Christ in the Smokies Museum and Gardens, Cooter’sGarage, the Hollywood Cars Museum, the Guiness Book of World Records Museum, aswell as shopping and lots of good food. The weather was perfect for a white water raft-ing trip, zip-lining and riding extreme go-karts and they also traveled to Ashville, NorthCarolina to visit the Biltmore Estate before returning home.

U.S. Rice Industry United in Efforts to Open Chinese Market Brantley wants a reasonable agreementDALLAS, TEXAS -- At a meeting here July 9 the USA Rice

Producers' Group unanimously passed a motion urgingthe conclusion of negotiations between the United Statesand China to establish a phytosanitary agreement thatwould pave the way for U.S. rice to be exported to China.The group, representing rice farmers in all six rice states

covering close to 90 percent of the U.S. rice crop, offeredguidance to U.S. negotiators to help them finalize a dealthat would be acceptable and manageable to the U.S. in-dustry.The negotiations, between USDA's Animal and Plant

Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and their Chinesecounterparts (AQSIQ), have dragged on for years and hitsnags recently when the Chinese made demands the U.S.industry felt were not based on sound science."The Chinese are demanding our industry set traps for

insects that do not exist in the United States, and that weset a totally unreasonable number of traps per square footof storage space," said John Owen, a Louisiana rice farmerand chairman of the USA Rice Producers' Group.Chinese negotiators are also demanding very specific

package labeling that is both unprecedented and manyfelt unfeasible.The three organizations came together under the in-

dustry's national organization, USA Rice, to adopt thejoint resolution.Dow Brantley, an Arkansas rice farmer and chairman of

USA Rice, was pleased with the industry's unity andstrong statement that both supports, and guides, U.S. ne-gotiators."There's no question we'd like to participate in the Chi-

nese market, but these ever-evolving demands beingmade by the Chinese government were making it ever-lesslikely we were going to actually gain access to the market,"Brantley said. "We appreciate the efforts of the U.S. nego-tiators on our behalf, and are happy to provide input as aunited industry."Brantley said the market has great potential for the U.S.

industry, and that his group has been working for years toestablish trade relationships and line up customers for theday the phytosanitary deal is complete. However, he saysif the final deal is based on unreasonable, unscientific de-mands that can never be truly satisfied, there's little pointto agreeing."The notion that you can agree to something with the

Chinese government now and fix it later is very naïve," hesaid. "Once the ink dries on that deal, the Chinese aregoing to hold us to it, so it needs to be a deal we all can livewith today and that actually allows us to start sending ourrice over there."

T. R. Faske, Extension Plant PathologistSouthern rust was detected last week (July 6, 2015) near

Lonoke, Altheimer, and Tupelo, which are located inLonoke, Jefferson, and Jackson Counties, respectively.These are the first confirmed reports of southern rust forthe 2015 cropping season.

Disease severity in these fields ranged from 50 pustuleson one leaf to 1% on two to three leaves. Corn growthstages in these fields ranged from dough to dent. Thoughdisease severity was low, the current weather forecast ofscattered showers and warm temperatures will providegood environmental conditions for rust development.Given the favorable conditions, distance spores canspread by wind during rain storms and distribution ofthese reports across the state, it is very likely rust will befound this week in other fields. This report is a recommen-dations to scout and assess the benefit of a fungicide toprotect yield potential on a case by case basis rather thana justification for wide spread use of corn fungicidesacross the state.

A webinar series thatbegins July 15, producedthrough the eXtensionLearning Network, mayshow that the future of un-manned aerial systemscould just touch down inagriculture.

“It’s certainly a veryemerging area of technolo-gy,” said Jim Robbins, pro-fessor and extension spe-cialist for the University ofArkansas System Divisionof Agriculture. “Our focusis going to be the connec-tion between the UAS andits use in agriculture. That’swhere it’s projected thegreatest potential use isgoing to be.”

A 2013 report by the As-sociation for UnmannedVehicle Systems Interna-tional predicts the UASglobal market to reach$140 billion over the nextdecade. The report alsosaid that agriculture would

make up 80 percent of thepotential commercial mar-ket for the devices.

“We know that people inagriculture have a lot ofquestions right now,” Rob-bins said. “How are theygoing to be used? How mayI use them? What types ofplatforms are available?What types of sensors areavailable? That’s what thisgroup is going to try to ad-dress to help people betterunderstand what the tech-nology is, how it is regulat-ed and various aspects re-lated to agriculture.”Thewebinars will introduce theworld of unmanned air-craft systems and their po-tential uses, along withhow to use the devices andany legal issues that couldapply. As seen in otherfields, the sky is the limitfor UAS use in agriculture.

“A lot of farmers willlikely use these devices inthe future for crop moni-toring,” Robbins said.“Whether it’s a nutrient ora pest issue, they’ll use

them routinely for moni-toring. They may use themto correct certain issuesalso. Our efforts over thepast couple of years havebeen for inventory purpos-es. We’re trying to find aquick way from the air tocount the number ofplants, which can be a fair-ly difficult and expensivetask.”

While the webinar serieswill be targeted to exten-sion agents taking the in-formation to the fields,Dharmendra Saraswat, as-sociate professor ofgeospatial technology forthe division, said that thewebinar series also targetsthe farmer and those want-ing to learn more about thetechnology.

“It is not restricted to ex-tension agents alone,” hesaid, “rather, it will targetfarmers who are technolo-gy savvy. Our target is alsoyouth. We would like to en-gage 4H youth and anyother youth groups whowould like to learn about

this technology.“The webinar series be-

gins with an overview andintro to UAS on July 15 at 2p.m. CST. The remaininginstallments will be re-leased on a near monthlybasis over the next year.

“Once we get this going,our aim is to cast a widernet,” Saraswat said. “Tobring in people that are en-gaged in providing serviceto agriculture to be a partof this effort, to be an ac-tive contributor, and thushelp promote safe and re-sponsible use of this prom-ising technology throughproper education.”

Sugarcane aphids arerapidly expanding inArkansas, quadrupling thenumber of counties inwhich they’ve been con-firmed just two weeks earli-er.

Back on June 20, sugar-cane aphids were con-firmed in three counties, allin southeastern Arkansas:Desha, Ashley and Chicot.(See:http://www.uaex.edu/media-resources/news/june2015/06-24-2015-Ark-Sugar-cane-Aphids.aspx)

“We now have theaphids confirmed in 12counties,” said Nick Seiter,extension entomologist forthe University of ArkansasSystem Division of Agricul-ture.

The aphids have beenreported as far north asCrittenden and Whitecounties and as far west asLogan County in theArkansas River Valley.Thefull list: Arkansas, Ashley,Chicot, Crittenden, Desha,Lee, Lincoln, Logan,

Lonoke, Phillips, St. Francisand White counties.

“In most cases we areseeing isolated spots, espe-cially along the edges offields, with high numbers,with the rest of the plantshaving few to no aphids,”he said. “There are lots ofnatural enemies feeding onthe aphids, especially ladybeetles.”

At the moment, theaphids aren’t at levels highenough in most spots, toprompt insecticide appli-cations, but Seiter saidtreatments for sugarcaneaphids are being applied insome fields.

Aphids exude honeydewthat can grow black moldthat inhibits photosynthe-sis on the leaves and thestickiness of the honeydewcan gum up harvestingequipment.

NASA shared this new image Wednesday showing icy mountains on Pluto’s surface. The mountain range is as high as 11,000 feet above Pluto's surface. Scientists predictthe mountains, near the dwarf planet's equator, formed no more than 100 million years ago, a relatively short time in the solar system's 4.56 billion-year history.

New Horizon’s flyby image of Pluto’s largest moon, CHARONNear the top, at about the 2 o’clock position, there is a canyon 4-6 miles deep, larg-

er than Earth’s Grand Canyon. The large dark ‘dent’ also near the top has been con-firmed by the New Horizon team as an impact crater in Charon’s icy rock surface.

First of many “Love Letters” coming from Pluto to EarthUnlike the artist’s concept on Page 1, this is an actual image of Pluto taken Tuesday morning, just before theflyby. It is 1000 times the resolution of anything ever seen from the Hubble telescope. Images taken duringthe flyby of Pluto are expected to be even better with 10,000x the resolution of Hubble.

Pluto and Charon. As thesun shines through Pluto'satmosphere, it will high-light any clouds or ringsthat may hover nearby,and also tell scientistswhat's in inside the tinyplanet's atmosphere.The mission's chief sci-

entist, Alan Stern, said:“Pluto has strong atmos-pheric cycles with snowson the surface which sub-limate back into the at-mosphere - every 248 yearorbit."On NASA’s TV channel

Tuesday morning, therewas a computer simula-tion showing, in real time,New Horizons approach-ing Pluto and positioningitself to collect images andinformation. Coordinated, also in

real time, was an odome-ter/clock whirling at 8.56miles per second (30,817mph - too fast to get a fixon) showing distance be-tween Pluto and NewHorizons’ closest ap-proach point (7767±

miles). Also shown werewhirling minutes/secondsremaining to reach it.Between one minute

before and one minuteafter its closest approach,the spacecraft was still nofurther away from Pluto

than 7780± miles. At twominutes before and after,it was 7830± miles away,and at 3 minutes before &after only 7900± miles.The craft, unable to

orbit Pluto or linger, couldonly fly by at 30,817 mph.
