Story and Photos on Page A6
Best of DeWitt Good Neighbor Vivian Meins
By Terrye Seamon In his poem “Mending Wall,” Robert Frost said, “Good fences make good neighbors.” The fact that Vivian Meins does not follow this way of thinking is what makes her the Best of DeWitt Good Neighbor of the Year.
Meins is actively involved in various clubs and community activities such as the Lion’s Club, Chamber of Commerce and the DeWitt City Council, just to name a few. In addition to all of her volunteering, she also owns and operates Easy Living, Inc., a senior and assisted living facility on Main Street. Becky Briggs, a long-time friend, describes Meins as “a very caring and giving woman who is there for a person in need.” According to Briggs, Meins’ plethora of good deeds range from buying prom dresses for girls, funding orthodontist bills for children, taking people to doctor appointments and sitting with families while a loved one has surgery. She added that Meins has even attended funerals where she was the only one in attendance. And in the midst of all of her community involvement and being there for others, Briggs also noted that Meins is the primary caregiver for her ailing husband, Wilber. Mayor Ralph Relyea, who has worked with Meins on the DeWitt City Council for years, said that she visits patients in the hospital, makes rounds at the nursing homes and even calls on families when they have lost a relative. She even goes so far in this technological age of emails and texts to add her personal touch by sending handwritten cards. “She just goes out of her way to make people feel appreciated,” Relyea said. Nikki Norton, a former employee at Easy Living and the person who nominated Meins for Good Neighbor of the Year, said that she has been an inspiration and a mentor to her. She describes her as a “Christian lady with a caring heart” who does not give up on people. “She has taught me so much about life, priorities, and responsibility,” Norton said. Meins will be honored at the DeWitt Chamber of Commerce’s Best of DeWitt Banquet. The banquet will be held January 29 at 6:30 p.m. at the DeWitt High School cafeteria. The guest speaker will be Steve “Wildman” Wilson from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. Tickets are $15 and are available at the banks, at PCCUA DeWitt Campus and from any DeWitt Chamber of Commerce member.

EWITT POLICE REPORT January 17, 2015- Officer Jennifer Crossett was traveling East on West 2nd Street when she noticed a vehicle traveling west on 2nd Street with no headlights. Crossett initiated a traffic stop with a Nissan Maxima with Mississippi license plate. After approaching the vehicle, Crossett identified herself and asked the driver for his driver license, registration and proof of insurance. The driver advised Crossett that he did not have one. Crossett could smell an odor of intoxicants coming from the vehicle and asked the driver if he had been drinking. He stated that he had had two beer. Crossett then had the driver exit the vehicle and asked the driver again if he had a license or if he just didn’t have it with him. The driver stated he didn’t have one at all. Crossett placed the driver under arrest and transported him to the Arkansas County Detention Center. After arriving at the detention center, Crossett asked Arkansas State Trooper, John Howington to perform a standardized field sobriety test and BAC. Howington took over the field sobriety and the BAC and then charged Angel Padilla-Gonzalez with DWI and refusal to submit to a breath test (BAC). January 23, 2015- Officer Johnathan Powell saw Shelby (Dwain) Maier driving his vehicle in the turning lane of East 2nd St, entering Whitehead Drive. Powell had been told earlier in the day that Maier had a warrant, and he also knew from previous encounters Maier does not have a drivers license. As Maier turned onto Whitehead Drive, Pow-
ell got behind his vehicle and initiated a traffic stop. Powell told Maier that he had stopped him because he had a warrant for his arrest and no license. Powell took him to the Arkansas County Detention Center without incident and Maier was issued a citation for no driver’s license. January 22, 2014- Officer Johnathan Powell, was dispatched to an accident on the Court Square. Upon his arrival, he met with drivers Kevin Brown and Rose Nelson-Dunn. After assuring no one was injured, he asked Brown what had happened. Brown stated he was entering the square from S Main Street and Nelson-Dunn was driving east on the square. He said he did not see Nelson-Dunn’s vehicle and hit her as he was entering the square. Nelson-Dunn confirmed Brown’s story, stating she was driving around the square when he turned into her vehicle. Several times during the interaction, Brown stated the accident was his fault, and that he would take care of everything. While collecting everyone’s information, Brown said that he did not have his insurance card, but that he did have a valid policy. Powell expressed to Brown how important it was for him to provide his policy information, and cited Brown for “No Proof of Insurance�. January 22, 2015- Officer Greg Miller was patrolling with the weather overcast and with a moderate rain. Miller was on South Grandview Drive heading north, when a Chevy pickup pulled out of the Dewitt High School in front of him and he noticed that the
vehicle had no taillights. Miller gave a little time to see if the driver had just forgotten to turn on the lights, but the taillights never came on. Miller initiated his Emergency Lights for a traffic stop. The vehicle pulled over on the side of South Grandview and Hudspeth Drive and Miller called it in and approached the vehicle on the driver’s side where he saw a female passenger with the driver, Phillip Bennett. Miller told Bennett the reason for the stop, and that he needed his driver’s license, insurance and registration. Bennett gave him everything he asked for, but he seemed really shaky and would not make eye contact with Miller. Miller went back to his vehicle and radioed dispatch Bennett’s driver’s license number. Dispatch came back with Bennett’s driver’s license was suspended. Miller went back to the vehicle and asked Bennett to step out of the vehicle and place his hands on the side of the truck. Miller told Bennett he was under arrest for driving on a suspended license. Bennett said he was aware his license was suspended. Miller placed Bennett in cuffs and escorted him back to the Police car and placed him in the back seat. Miller ran the passenger’s driver’s license and it was expired, so he asked her to call someone to pick up the vehicle or it would be towed. Chief Tucker stayed with the vehicle until someone could get it. Bennett was transported to the Arkansas County Detention Center to be booked on charges. Bennett was charged with driving on a suspended license and no
J&
seat belt, and was warned about the taillights. January 12, 2015- 8:30pm-Officer Jody Chapman responded to a complaint of a truck driving fast up and down South Harrison Street.Chapman was sitting at the intersection of South Harrison and West 13th Streets when he observed a vehicle traveling west on West 13th Street with only one headlight. After the vehicle passed, Chapman pulled behind and activated the overhead emergency lights. The truck continued onto West 13th Street and then made a left turn onto Lee Street. Chapman then made contact with the driver, Ethan Moss, and advised him of the reason for the stop. Moss acknowledged he was aware the headlight was out. Chapman then asked Moss for his driver’s license, registration and proof of insurance. Moss advised that he couldn’t find his insurance and he did not have a driver’s license. Chapman asked Moss for his name and date of birth. When entered into ACIC, Moss showed to have a suspended driver’s license. Moss was asked to exit the pickup, placed in hand restraints and advised he was under arrest for driving on a suspended driver’s license. Since the traffic stop occurred less than one block from Moss’ parent’s residence, his parents were allowed to retrieve the pickup to keep it from being towed. Moss was transported to the Arkansas County Detention Center and charged with driving with suspended license and no proof of insurance.

Barbara Ann “Babbie” Ferguson, age 55, of Mountain View, AR (formerly of Altheimer) passed away on Saturday January 17, 2015 at Baptist Medical Center. She was born in DeWitt, AR on August 26, 1959. The doctor that delivered Babbie told her parents that he had delivered a “beautiful pink rose.” At age 17, Babbie battled Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and as a result, she was unable to have children. The Lord blessed her with a most precious gift of a daughter. Babbie spent the rest of her days on earth in awe of this most precious gift teaching her daughter love, courage, respect and all she knew. She lived life to the fullest with her daughter, Clancey, from deer hunting to traveling the south as Clancey has grown up and become known as the “Princess of Bluegrass.” Babbie lost her battle with health problems following complications from heart surgery, but she will without doubt continue with Clancey on her fiddling journey and forever have a front row seat. She is survived by one daughter, Clancey Aaron Ferguson; her parents, Billie and Jake Young, all of Mountain View, AR and a host of friends.

FAITH & RELIGION
A Bit of History for Our Government By William Wood Why the Marine hymn contains the verse, “To the Shores of Tripoli,” Muslim pirates of the past: Most Americans are unaware of the fact that over two hundred years ago, the United States had declared war on Islam, and Thomas Jefferson led the charge! At the height of the eighteenth century, Muslim pirates were the terror of the Mediterranean and a large area of the North Atlantic. They attacked every ship in sight, and held the crews for exorbitant ransoms. Those taken hostage were subjected to barbaric treatment and wrote heart breaking letters home, begging their government and family members to pay whatever their Mohammedan captors demanded. These extortionists of the high seas represented the Islamic nations of Tripoli, Tunis, Morocco, and Algiers – collectively referred to as the Barbary Coast – and presented a dangerous and unprovoked threat to the new American Republic. Before the Revolutionary War, U.S. merchant ships had been under the protection of Great Britain. When the U.S. declared its independence and entered into war, the ships of the United States were protected by France, However, once the war was won, America had to protect its own fleets. Thus, the birth of the U.S. Navy. Beginning in 1784, seventeen years before he would become president, Thomas Jefferson became America’s Minister to France. That same year, the U.S. Congress sought to appease its Muslim adversaries by following in the footsteps of European nations who paid bribes to the Barbary States, rather than engaging them in war. In July of 1785, Algerian pirates captured American ships, and the Dye of Algiers demanded an unheard-of ransom of $60,000. It was a plain and simple case of extortion, and Thomas Jefferson was vehemently opposed to any further payments. Instead, he proposed to Congress the formation of a coalition of allied nations who together could force the Islamic states into peace. A disinterested Congress decided to pay the ransom. In 1786, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams met with Tripoli’s ambassador to Great Britain to ask by what right his nation attacked American ships and enslaved American citizens, and
why Muslims held so much hostility towards America, a nation with which they had had no previous contact. Two future presidents reported that Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja had answered that Islam “was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Quran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman (Muslim) who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise.” Despite this stunning admission of premeditated violence on nonMuslim nations, as well and the objections of many notable leaders, including George Washington, who warned that caving in was both wrong and would only further embolden the enemy, for the following fifteen years, the American government paid the Muslims millions of dollars for the safe passage of American ships or the return of American hostages. The payments in ransom and tribute amounted to over twenty percent of the United States government annual revenues in 1800. Jefferson was disgusted. Shortly after his being sworn in as the third President of the United States in 1801, the Pasha of Tripoli sent him a note demanding the immediate payment of $225,000 a year for every year forthcoming. That changed everything. Jefferson let the Pasha know, in no uncertain terms, what he could do with his demand. The Pasha responded by cutting down the flagpole at the American consulate and declared war or the United States. Tunis, Morocco, and Algiers immediately followed suit. Jefferson, until now, had been against America raising a naval force for anything beyond coastal defense, but having watched his nation be cowed by Islamic thugery for long enough, decided that it was finally time to meet force with force. He dispatched a squadron of frigates to the Mediterranean and taught the Muslim nations of the Barbary Coast a lesson he hoped they would never forget. Congress authorized Jefferson to empower U.S. ships to seize all vessels and goods of the Pasha of Tripoli and to “cause to be done all other acts of precaution or hostility as the
state of war would justify.” When Algiers and Tunis, who were both accustomed to American cowardice and acquiescence, saw the newly independent United States had both the will and the might to strike back, they quickly abandoned their allegiance to Tripoli. The war with Tripoli lasted for four more years, and raged up again in 1815. The bravery of the U.S. Marine Corps in these wars led to the line “to the shores of Tripoli” in the Marine Hymn, and they would forever be known as “leathernecks’ for the leather collars of their uniforms, designed to prevent their heads from being cut off the Muslim scimitars when boarding enemy ships. Islam, and what its Barbary followers justified doing in the name of their prophet and their God, disturbed Jefferson deeply. America had a tradition of religious tolerance, the fact that Jefferson, himself, had co-authored the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, but fundamentalist Islam was like no other religion the world had ever seen. A religion based on supremacism, whose holy book not only condoned but mandated violence against unbelievers was unacceptable to him. His greatest fear was that someday this brand of Islam would return and pose an even greater threat to the United States. This should bother every American. That Christians, Jews, and Hindus have been banned from serving on juries where Muslim defendants are being judged. Piggy banks and Porky Pig tissue dispensers have been banned from workplaces, because they offend Islamist sensibilities. Ice cream has been discontinued at certain Burger King locations because the picture on the wrapper looks similar to the Arabic script for Allah, public school are pulling pork from their menus, on and on in the newspapers. It’s death by a thousand cuts, or inch-by-inch as some refer to it, and most Americans have no idea that this battle is being waged every day across America. By not fighting back, by allowing groups to hide what is really happening, and not insisting that the Islamists leave our Christian religion alone. The United States is cutting its own throat with a politically correct knife, and helping to further the Islamists agenda. Sadly, it appears that today’s America would rather be politically correct than victorious.

Jesus, The Good Shepherd By Tom Smith
He’s the One you’ve always looked for. Few of us know very much sheep and shepherding. But, one thing we do know about them is that they are basically stupid, stinking and often straying. And, they are quite defenseless against predators, possessing no sharp teeth, claws, horns or hooves. That’s why Jesus’ calling Himself “the Good Shepherd” (John 10:11, 14) is welcome news if we so often feel like “sheep that have no shepherd” (Matthew 9:36). Truly, in this day-and-age of uncertainty and “doom, despair and agony on me” news on every hand, it’s good to know there’s Someone on Whom we can depend. Shepherding in Jesus’ day had fallen into disrepute. By-and-large those who watched the flocks were renta-shepherds, who “cared not for the sheep and fled when a wolf drew near” (Jn. 10:13). They were looked down upon as social misfits, ruffians, thieves, etc. and lumped in with the likes of tax collectors and prostitutes. But, still, Jesus called Himself “the Good Shepherd” Who loves His sheep enough to “lay down His life for them” (Jn. 10:11, 17-18). Truly, His willingness to die for us on the Cross was voluntary, vicarious and victorious, which should move us to love Him in return. Another reason He’s the Good Shepherd is because He is our Guide. Oriental shepherds did not drive their sheep like western cowboys do cattle. Instead, they lead them and the “sheep hear his voice and follow him” (Jn. 10:4, 16, 27). And, what a tender Voice it is! So kind and loving is this Shepherd-Guide, Who “leads us into green pastures and beside the still water” (Psalm 23:2). Even if our path leads us to “the valley of the shadow of death, we will not fear—for He is with us” (Ps. 23:4). In fact, as our “Forerunner within the vale” (Hebrews 6:19), Jesus has already passed through Death’s dark valley and returned to say “All is well. Follow Me.” What a blessed Guide He is! Jesus is also our Guard, our “Refuge and Strength, a very present Help in trouble” (Ps. 46:1). He holds us securely in His nail-scarred Hand from which no one can pluck us (Jn. 10:28-29). Therefore, we should never fear when perplexities arise and we’re tempted to doubt or despair; instead, we should cling to His Promise of “I’ll never leave you or forsake you” (Heb. 13:5b). As the Good Shepherd, Jesus is also the One Who gathers us together into “one fold” (Jn. 10:16). Like a mother hen that gathers her chicks under the safety of her wings when danger draws near, so does Jesus gather us together in His strong, loving arms, reassuring us that all is well. How much more comforting this is than any insurance policy or alarm system! We should also be thankful that our Good Shepherd is a giving Shepherd. He doesn’t send someone else to do His job for Him. He does it Himself and was willing to die in our places on the Cross, paying the penalty of our sin so we could be free and forgiven. Glory! What a Savior! How thankful I am for Jesus having been my Good Shepherd down through the years. From my earliest years when I felt that no one cared for me until now, He has been a faithful friend Who’s always been there. Even when I’ve strayed from Him as some stupid, sinful sheep, He has continued to seek me and bring me back to the fold. Dear Reader, do you have a shepherd like this or is it always you against the world as you try to fend for yourself? Jesus, the Good Shepherd, knows you—everything about you from the womb to the tomb—and still loves you very much. Here’s hoping you’ll let Him be your Good Shepherd. He’s only a prayer away and has promised to answer when you call (Romans 10:9-10, 13). Why not do that right now? That way you’ll know why it’s so “sweet to trust in Jesus, Just to take Him at His Word. Just to rest upon His Promise. Just to know ‘Thus saith the Lord’.” Amen and amen. God bless you.

Quorum Court Meets By Terrye Seamon The Arkansas County Quorum Court held their first meeting of 2015 under the leadership of Arkansas County’s new judge Eddie Best January 13 at the courthouse in DeWitt. Arkansas County Treasurer Charles Albert Horton presented the Court with a 3-year comparison of the county’s finances from 2012, 2013 and 2014. “We’ve got mixed emotions on our report today. The bottom line is we’ve got a whole lot more money, but the bottom line of that is we’ve got one less building,� Horton said. Horton told the Court that the total for all funds in 2014 was $5,520,301.03 compared to $3,554,158.37. “That’s 2 million dollars more than two years ago,� Horton said. He further explained that a big portion of the money ($1,457,643.38) was due to the Stuttgart Courthouse fire. Arkansas County Sheriff Allen Cheek briefed the Court on the county’s contract with Southern Health Partners, the medical service provider for the Arkansas County Detention Center. The sheriff said, due to the company
losing money, Southern Health Partners dropped the county’s contract as of December 15, 2014. Although Cheek has already talked to another medical service provider, he has not taken any action as of yet. He told the Court that he will have the opportunity to meet with other companies that provide medical services to correctional facilities at a conference in two weeks, and he will present his findings at the next meeting in February. Cheek said this conference is an “excellent opportunity to sit down and find out exactly what they [these companies] have to offer.� Prosecuting Attorney Robert Dittrich asked the Court for authorization and permission to explore the issue of getting a county-wide pawn shop ordinance so law enforcement officers could access pawn shop records more efficiently. He explained that the current process of accessing transaction records is labor intensive, and having a uniform system where pawn shops record their transactions online would make the process of tracking thefts a lot easier. Dit-
trich said, “That’s what I’m trying to do - to make law enforcement a little more effective and help us serve the victims out there more quickly.� He said he has already talked with the police chiefs in DeWitt and Stuttgart, and both of them support the idea. He told the Court that he will present his findings at either the February or March meeting once he has compiled his information concerning the issue. Other action taken by the Court involved passing several appropriation ordinances concerning finances such as increasing mileage reimbursement from 56 cents to 57 cents, reappropriating $13,200 within the budget for the sheriff ’s budget, carrying over $16,000 in grant money from the Grant in Aid program for the juvenile detention center and reappropriating $20,000 out of unappropriated funds to the DeWitt Public Library fund. The Arkansas County Quorum Court meets the second Tuesday of each month at 9:30 at the Arkansas County Courthouse in DeWitt.

Cheese” were included in these short inspirational bios. An emotions questionnaire revealed that most of our members scored higher than the average given in terms of happiness. Dorothy Connelly, secretary, called roll with the question, “What motivates you to get up in the morning?” Responses included coffee or hot tea, the newspaper, the dog, the bathroom, and just waking up. The Minutes were accepted, and the treasurer’s report, which included the club’s donation to the Gillett Angel Tree, was approved. Connelly showed some handmade items from some of the Hmong families who were in Gillett as refugees in the early 1980s. They had given these as Christmas presents to Marian Fuhrman; the items included an apron, a purse, a wall hanging, and an eyeglass case that were made from vividly colored cloth that was lavishly and color-
fully embroidered. Becki Weinrich read the helpful hint: Leave a couple of used fabric softener sheets in the bottom of your kitchen trash can to absorb odors. Several members agreed that this really does work. Arlene Ferguson won the door prize. Jeannie Fletcher was also present. The meeting closed with the Homemaker’s Prayer. The February meeting will be on Tuesday, February 17, at The Paddy in Gillett at 2 p.m. with Hackney as hostess. MISS ARKANSAS COUNTY NEWS Miss Arkansas County Rylee Knoll participated in “Princess for a Day” recently in Cabot, Arkansas. The day was filled with fun as each princess was treated to a hair and makeup session, along with a manicure. She then was presented a sash and crown and a photo session. The day ended with a fun theatrical ball.

I look forward to reading the news regarding your family and friends! Contact Darla Grantham, P.O. Box 324, Gillett, AR 72055, call (870) 548-2850, or email dgrantham@pccua.edu. GILLETT EHC MEETS IN JANUARY The Gillett Extension Homemakers Club held its monthly meeting on Tuesday, January 20, at The Paddy in Gillett with Rose Ella Smith as hostess and seven members present. Margie Hackney, club president, called the meeting to order. Smith read an inspirational message based on Psalm 27:11, “Teach me your way, Lord,” reminding us to thank God for all He does for us and for leading us toward the right path. Anita Trimble read the thought for the month: “A year from now you will wish you had started today,” by Karen Lamb.
Trimble, Citizenship-InternationalCommunity Outreach Leader, presented the program on “Motivation— It’s All Up to You.” She read the poem “If You Think You Can,” emphasizing positive thinking as a strong motivating tool. The Optimist Club Creed also presented positive outlooks on life. Twenty-four signature strengths were organized into six strength types: wisdom and knowledge, courage, humanity, justice, temperance, and transcendence, with examples given of each. Short biographies of people who began with nothing, set goals, and positively worked toward those goals showed that setting goals helps us to work toward achieve those goals. Lou Holtz, Fred Smith of Fed Ex, Rudy Ruettiger who attended Notre Dame, and Dr. Spencer Johnson who wrote “Who Moved My

Dana’s House, Inc.
is inviting you to be a part of a very special, yet limited, commemorative opportunity. As many of you know, this is a very exciting time at Dana’s House as we regroup and remodel after the fire that devastated our recreation hall. As we remodel, we will also be adding a new lighted sign, making it easier for caseworkers, children, and volunteers to locate Dana’s House both in the day and evening. As a commemorative opportunity for those who regularly make a difference in the lives of children, we are selling engraved bricks. These bricks will be interspersed amongst other bricks, and they will be the foundation of the Dana’s House sign.
