Reflections from History and Faith - Reflections on Labor Day n 1894, President Grover Cleveland signed a bill making Labor Day a national holiday. Ever since, it has symbolically served to remind us of the importance and place of labor in the lifeblood of our nation.

While many of us will enjoy a day off from work, there are those for whom Labor Day is just another (and perhaps busier) Monday on the job. It is for you that this article is dedicated most.

On September 5, 1892 when the first Labor Day Parade was held in New York City, it was a time that workers called attention to workplace problems brought on by the Industrial Revolution - issues such as 14-hour workdays, very low wages and child labor. Some leaders in America, such as Samuel Gompers, saw the importance of labor through the value of the laborer, believing that the laborer was more than a mere producing machine. They wanted a better life for the American worker which actually reflected a major part of the American dream, and they knew that part of this life should include a better work environment, reasonable work hours and other considerations which would reflect the inherent value of those who make the wheels of our great nation turn day in and day out. Subsequently, laws supporting and protecting the American worker came to be. One hundred years ago, in 1918, the first labor law in the U.S. was passed by Congress and eighty

years ago, in 1938, Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act. For many people, labor amounts to little more than something that has to be done in order to survive and perhaps prosper. While this is certainly the crux of why we work in the first place, maybe a more in-depth look at Labor Day can offer a renewed and perhaps more rewarding perspective of our work - our labor. Countless moments in America's history consisted of work - work rooted in and necessitated by the function and proliferation of the family, and dependent upon individual freedom and private property rights. These were instrumental to America’s founding, strength and duration and reflected the personal virtue, self-reliance and initiative of her people. Some of that labor lead to technological and scientific innovation and progress, much of which improved our quality (and quantity) of life, and it propelled America to the pinnacle of economic independence and world leadership. This didn't happen overnight nor did it even originate in America.

The greatest man who ever lived spent most of His life engaged in manual labor.

The Christian apologist Justin Martyr said that during his lifetime, in Galilee in the second-century, it was still common to see farmers using plows made by the carpenter Jesus of Nazareth. Evidently he did his job well and for the right reasons, exemplifying

what the Bible teaches in 1 Corinthians 10:31 and Colossians 3:17.

During the Middle Ages, the guild movement grew out of the Church. It set good standards for workmanship and encouraged members to develop a strong work ethic and to take satisfaction in the results of their labor. It was through the Protestant Reformation that a vocation, whether or not one within the Church, came to be understood as an integral part of a person's life of faith and obedience through which God could be pleased and honored.

What was called “The Protestant Work Ethic" came to define much of the American character and inspired the evolvement of labor from little more than a necessity to an avenue where men and women were free to fulfill their identity and destiny; to invent, to discover, to shape, to heal, to teach, to bring order out of disorder- and yes, to take on the equally important but often thankless mundane behind-the scenes jobs as well.

From my own raising, I can still remember my parents teaching and reminding me that any job worth doing is worth doing right and doing right the first time. This helped to instill in me a moral obligation to perform well whatever job I was tasked to do and to take a strong sense of responsibility and pride in the quality of my work.

In his book “The Call,” theologian Os Guinness reminds us that even the humblest

work is important if done for God. Author Dorothy Sayers reminds us that “Christianity demands that all work should be done in a Christian way – Christianity proclaims that all work, all that is well done, can and should help to validate our relationship with God and may be offered to Him in worship.” She wrote that work was ‘redemptive’, not in the sense that it is a means of earning salvation, but in the sense that the incarnation of Christ has redeemed all departments of life, investing them with intrinsic spiritual value.

Appropriating ourselves of the spiritual value inherent in life's ordinary and routine things is one way that we exemplify and live out our salvation.

As we approach Labor Day 2018, we can realize that it is not the absence of labor we should celebrate but rather the fundamental, personal and cultural value of labor and the worth and dignity of the laborer. Whatever work we do, provided it's honest and credible in its purpose and beneficial in its goal, may it: be accomplished with dedication and pride, be characterized by excellence, bring respect to our family and a proud legacy to be passed on to future generations, contribute to success for our employer, provide strength to our community and nation, and above all else - honor and please the God who designed, created and purposed us for it.

BEARCATS OFF TO A GOOD START AT DE QUEEN

riday night, August 24th, the F Mena Bearcat senior high football team traveled to DeQueen to

take on the Leopards for their 20182019 season opener.

In what many would consider a slow or rough start for both teams, the Bearcats were the first team to get on the scoreboard with a one-yard touchdown run by Zane Stephens.

And after a failed two-point-conversation attempt, Mena led 6-0, with 9:24 left in the second quarter.

Just a few short minutes later, Marquez Ester gave the Leopards the lead on a forty-seven yard touchdown run, and after a made point-after-attempt, De Queen led 7-6 with 7:15 left in second quarter of play.

The Bearcats and De Queen remained scoreless in the first half, until Marquez Ester ran forty-eight yards for another Leopard touchdown, with only thirty-nine seconds left in the half. At halftime, De Queen led the Bearcats by eight, 14-6.

Almost half way through the third quarter, Bearcat quarterback Max Montgomery completed a forty-eight yard touchdown pass to Andrew Graves, as Mena tied the ballgame up at 14-14, with 6:48 left in the third quarter.

Four minutes later, Montgomery completed a twenty-six yard touchdown pass to Nick Linch in the end-zone, as the Bearcats took their

second lead of the ballgame, 20-14, after a failed two-point-conversation attempt with 2:47 left in the third quarter.

The Mena defense continued to shutout the Leopards offense throughout the second half, as the Bearcat offense continued scoring. With 6:46 left in the game, Montgomery threw another touchdown pass, this time from twenty-six yards out to Zane Stephens, as the Bearcats strengthened their lead to 28-14 with a converted two points. For the remaining six minutes, both teams went scoreless, to make the final score 28-14, in favor of Coach Tim Harper’s Mena Bearcats.

Max Montgomery led the Bearcats with 253 passing yards, as Zane Stephens caught five balls for 86 total yards, Marc Wilson 65 receiving yards, Andrew Graves 55 receiving yards, Sam Efird 31 receiving yards, Nick Linch 26 receiving yards, and Jake Wiles 6 receiving yards.

In rushing, Zane Stephens led Mena with 40 yards on eight carries, while Jake Wiles added on 17 yards, Andrew Graves 10 yards, Brock Strother 5 yards, and Marc Wilson 2 yards.

On the defensive side of the ball, the great Bearcat defense was led with 14 tackles from Marc Wilson, and 10 tackles from Cauy House.

MENA BOARD OF EDUCATION APPROVES 2.17 PERCENT RAISE FOR CERTIFIED, CLASSIFIED AND TRANSPORTATION STAFF Board of Education percent raise for all certified, classiup to five-days for inclement weather Danny Minton reported the porch and ThemetMena on Wednesday, August fied and transportation employees. or mass illness and send school work decks have been built and painted

22nd for a regular board meeting and to tour the Louise Durham Primary School construction project.

During Superintendent Benny Weston reported that Polk County Sheriff Scott Sawyer held a Reserve Officer/Part-time Officer training course for select school officials.

The course was 120 hours and covered constitutional law, defensive tactics, use of force, investigations, narcotics, Arkansas law, juvenile law, active shooter response, firearm safety, and tactical and combat shooting.

Sheriff Sawyer stated the purpose of the class and the program was to keep children safe. He said the school officials who graduated on August 9th are authorized to carry firearms on all campuses.

Weston reported the district is utilizing single-point entries and the district is in the process of determining what signage will look like and the wording of signage concerning the fact that armed officials are on campus.

Weston announced the Mena Middle School received the Beating the Odds in Math award from the Office for Education Policy at the University of Arkansas and U.S. News and World Report named the Mena High School a Bronze Medal School.

Weston said the district currently has several projects underway and that inconvenience is a sign that the district is moving forward and getting better. “Our attitude about the progress determines not only our perception, but it also determines the perception of others,” Weston said.

“Our attitude determines how positive or negative the progress is viewed by others.”

The Arkansas Department of Education approved the district’s Alternate Method of Instruction. The district’s plan allows the district to close

to students by computer. The district will not be required to makeup those days at the end of the school year.

Board members approved the “lettering” policy for the district’s athletic handbook. The new policy states that athletes will receive a letter in a particular sport if they participate in 50 percent of the games. The policy also states student-athletes will letter their senior year if they have participated in a particular sport for three-years.

District Maintenance Supervisor,

at the Polk County Virtual Academy building, the fence is just about completed around the football field and the renovation of the press box is underway.

Weston presented the board with a bid from Perry Fence and Deck of Malvern to install a fence around the bus barn in the amount of $16,535.

Weston stated Perry was using the old fencing from the football field to help keep the cost down.

Board members approved a 2.17

Weston said the increase will cost the district approximately $230,000 a year. He said the district’s legal ending balance was $3 million and the salary increase will lower the legal ending balance to $2.8.

Weston explained the district could have moved the funds to the Building Fund, but felt the district employees deserved the pay increase. This is the second year in a row that district employees have been given a raise.

WATER COMMISSION VOTES TO PURCHASE NEW WORK TRUCKS

M

onday, August 27th, the commissioners of the Mena Water Utilities met for a regular meeting.

Commissioners accepted a bid from Mena Insurance Company for the renewal of their property insurance. P.T. Plunkett reported the premium of $18,900 was only $18 more than the premium was in 2016.

He said it included no co-insurance, a zero deductable and was slightly higher than last year because there was a claim filed earlier this year.

Jason Haley of A.L. Franks Engineer of Texarkana reported the sewer study was underway and the ICM Company had started on the south end of the sewer system. He stated most of the leaks that the smoke test was revealing were private-side leaks. Haley also reported ICM is

installing flow monitoring systems throughout the city.

Haley also recommended the commission review the city ordinances and update them so they include an enforcement clause. He said several of the leaks that they are finding are in the same places as leaks that were discovered during the previous sewer study.

Manager Charles Pitman reported the department’s 12-month water loss is 27 percent and there were no permit citations for the sewer plant during the month of July.

Pitman reported the bond reissuance has been completed and they received a better rate than expected.

Pitman said the sludge project is currently on-hold, because the utility does not have a storage permit from

the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality agency. He also reported the Waste Water Treatment Plant telemetry project would get started next month.

Commissioners approved the purchase of two work trucks. The commissioners agreed to purchase a half-ton Ford truck from Mena Ford and a three-quarter ton Chevy truck

Commissioners accepted the reappointment of Dr. David P. Brown, family practitioner to the active staff.

HSO RECEIVES GRANT FROM RACHAEL RAY FOUNDATION

he Rachael Ray Foundation, T which is funded by a portion of proceeds from each sale of Rachael’s

pet food, Nutrish, has made a donation of $25,000 to assist with Humane Society of the Ouachitas’ ongoing work to help save abandoned animals in Polk County.

The funding will be used for various needs that go beyond the day-to-day costs of shelter operation such as repairs and improvements and will help HSO continue to provide care for so many animals.

When non-local organizations like the Rachael Ray Foundation partners with small shelters such as the Humane Society of the Ouachitas, the benefits trickle throughout the community whenever abandoned pets can be rescued off the streets and rehomed.

HSO’s president, Neal Fosdick said it was such an honor that HSO was chosen to receive this grant, and it is a tribute to the community’s ongoing support of the humane society.

They accepted the reappointment of Dr. Shirley Killeen DesLauriers, OB/GYN and Dr. Randy D. Walker, family practitioner to the courtesy staff. Commissioners accepted the reappointment of Dr. David A. Dias, emergency medicine and Dr. Shanna L. Spence, emergency medicine to the emergency medical staff and they approved the initial appointment of Dr. Gerren P. Hobby, nephrology to the courtesy staff.

According to the financial overview for the month of July, Mena Regional Health Systems admitted 128 patients.

The year-to-date admissions are 968, which are over the budgeted number and year-to-date numbers from 2017.

The hospital reported 107 surgeries were performed in July, 760 ER visits and 1,495 patients were seen in the clinic.
