Best of DeWitt - Civil Servant of the Year BY VALENYA FRANKS EDITOR valenyasphotos@gmail.com
Diane Hobbs was voted Civil Servant of the Year for the Best of DeWitt. Diane is employed at PCCUA DeWitt campus where she is responsible for keeping the west end of the building clean and in good shape. She opens the building each day, and very perceptive and responsible. If anything is out of place or just does not look right, Diane immediately checks out the situation and communicates any problems. “Diane is more than a custodian.” Carolyn Tuner, Vice Chancellor, says. “She participates in almost everything that goes on around campus, no matter what. She is also a great cook and often treats us.”
Diane is a wonderful role model for the students. She is always aware of what’s going on among the students and they often come to her with their problems before anyone else. Each semester she takes one or two classes at PCCUA just to better herself. At the monthly faculty meetings, Diane is always in attendance and participates in the team building activities. She is usually the first to volunteer. She has a great sense of humor that makes the activities even more fun. Diane is responsible and professional. She takes pride in her work and she has a wonderful personality that enables her to get along with faculty, staff, and students. Carolyn Tuner states, “Along with Diane Fisher, last year’s winner, you couldn’t ask for better colleagues.”

Sock Hop To Be Held At The Elementary School January 18 BY VALENYA FRANKS EDITOR valenyasphotos@gmail.com
The elementary PTA will be holding a sock hop at the DeWitt Elementary School gym, January 18. The school board approved the use of it at the School Board meeting on January 8th. The financial report for the school district is relatively the same as last month’s, with a deficit in the food service fund, due to broken equipment and higher food costs. The school district also has $40,000 out in reimbursements from the state. The enrollment is basically the same
as it was this time last year but it may have seen some increase. Currently, there are a total of 1288 students with 487 at DeWitt Elementary School, 77 at Gillett Elementary School, 327 at DeWitt Middle School and 397 at DeWitt High School. The DeWitt School district will be looking into joining the Substitute Teach Organization. There are currently 107 schools in Arkansas currently using the program. This organization keeps all the information of a school districts substitute teachers and when one of the schools is in need of a substitute, the people in the
central office will call this company and then they will call the substitute. This also helps the substitute to get paid in a timely manner as they pay every Friday, and the substitute will not have to wait until the next payroll. The school will also have access to substitutes out of the district, but the principal will get the final say on what substitutes are used. The Superintendent’s evaluation was completed and his contract, which went through 2014, was extended to 2015.

COMMENTARY BETWEEN THE LINES By Brenda Blagg Who would really want to cut Medicaid, the lone avenue for health care for so many of Arkansas’ struggling citizens? Apparently, new Republican legislative leaders don’t, although Gov. Mike Beebe has proposed $138 million in Medicaid cuts for fiscal 2014. Nor do these two — Michael Lamoureux, the incoming president of the state Senate, and Davy Carter, the House speaker-designee — expect their respective chambers of the Legislature to make any Medicaid cuts. That’s what they said this week in a joint press conference to preview the upcoming session, which convenes next week amid great anticipation. Republicans “control” both chambers of the Legislature for the first time since Reconstruction. Their control is qualified because it is by such a slim margin that Carter secured his leadership post on a vote from mostly Democrats and a relative few Republicans. Nevertheless, the new mix makes this session unusually challenging. Plus, the session is further complicated by a second Medicaid issue — whether to expand the program to cover more of the state’s poor. The state’s numbercrunchers suggest the move would actually ease the problem with the state’s existing Medicaid shortfall, since the federal government will foot almost all of the bill. Notably, the cuts to the existing program proposed by Beebe’s administration include removing more than 10,000 people from nursing home care, which the governor himself wants to avoid. Gov. Beebe, the state’s term-limited Democratic governor, also met with the media on Monday. He detailed his long-held philosophy against using onetime money, such as the dollars accumulated in a state surplus, to pay ongoing obligations like Medicaid. Those ongoing obligations remain after the onetime money is spent. The state must plan for that day, too, he argues. He reluctantly balanced his proposed budget, however, with just such use of some of the state’s surplus dollars; and the legislative leaders are arguing that more of the $300 million surplus should be spent to avoid Medicaid program cuts.
Beebe, citing obligations to other elements of the state budget, doesn’t want to spend still more one-time money on Medicaid. Therein lies the philosophical face-off for the coming session. Monday’s press preview suggested this session is really destined to be about managing the state’s money, despite the fact this Republicanleaning Legislature will surely bring up all manner of social issues, too. Covering the Medicaid shortfall is a huge part of the challenge. Expansion of Medicaid to more Arkansans will be a major element, too, although neither of the Republican leaders seem too anxious to get into that discussion. Beebe favors the expansion, as do the state’s hospitals and others in the healthcare delivery business. The expansion would increase Medicaid participants by 250,000 in this state. While the federal government will pay the full tab for three years, the state would gradually pay part, up to 10 percent, of the cost. Making the challenge all the more difficult for Beebe and others who back the expansion plan is the fact that approval requires a three-quarters vote of both houses of the Legislature, which was hard enough to achieve when Democrats dominated and partisanship was less of a factor. Some Republicans wanted to push the expansion discussion off to a special session; but Beebe, the one with authority to call a special session, has said it should be resolved in the regular session. The current stall from some lawmakers is to try to get the feds to allow Arkansas more flexibility, perhaps reducing eligibility, in this nationwide program to expand Medicaid. Beebe will ask for the flexibility but the feds aren’t likely to let Arkansas play by different rules than other states must. What all of this portends is a slow start for the meat of the legislative session. Obviously, there are lots of details for new and old lawmakers to absorb before they reach any momentous decisions about this budget. Part of the difficulty will be a flexing of partisan muscle by Republicans and by Democrats, but the bigger task involves the sizable learning curve about complicated, intertwined fiscal issues.

STUDENT VOICE By Kristin Bradley It truly is hard to get back into the school schedule after such a long, and enjoyable Christmas break. Although, everyone seems to be making the end of the year a good one! As we start our second semester off at DHS, all the students are beginning to realize that this school year is coming to an end! Going to class and making good grades are of huge importance to many students. The parking lot at DHS has been a problem for the students. When coming into school in the morning, finding a place to park can be a challenge for some. The South end of our parking lot has become somewhat of a lake! As usual, when it rains in DeWitt, there is always a problem
with the parking lot at high school being visible at all. So students, grab your rain boots and umbrellas on your way out of the door so you will be able to stand the current of our parking lot! Another issue is this cold weather! Ranging from 20 to 40 degrees and strong, cold winds, the weather is beginning to be unbearable. It’s very hard to walk outside without feeling like you’re being blown away! Everyone, bundle up in your coats and jackets and grab a scarf and gloves! The weather will definitely get to you! As we go throughout this last semester of this school year, we are constantly reminded of how important our grades and attending class are! Keep up the good work and work hard, students!
TO THE EDITOR Monroe County Officials, Arkansas It is a crying shame with all of the violence and killing going on in this country today that the situation below would be allowed to happen and be handled in the manner in which it has been done. On November 17, 2012 four individuals were hunting on the White River Wildlife Refuge Hunting Area, when their dogs crossed over and entered private property and treed a coon. The individuals decided to retrieve the dogs, without a firearm, so that they could return to the wildlife refuge. When arriving at the area they were met by a man who appeared to be drunk or crazy. He was armed with a rifle and very irate. He was claiming to be the landowner demanding identification while screaming and cursing. The individuals explained that they were hunting on the refuge and the dogs crossed over, and then asked if they could retrieve their dogs. The landowner refused their request. He then threatened to kill the dogs at the tree and shoot the hunter in the back if he went to retrieve the dogs. The hunter decided to retrieve his dog and came back with the dog heeled by his side on a leash. The irate landowner demanded that the dog owner step away from the dog so that he could shoot the dog. When refusing to do so he was then asked to hold the dog still while he shot him. The hunter refused and the landowner then shot the dog while on the leash at the dog owner’s side. Not only did he kill a harmless dog while on a leash, he endangered the hunter by shooting a rifle in that close proximity. The incident was reported to the Sheriff of Monroe County. Statements were written, notarized, and sent to the prosecuting attorney and then the previous judge. The decision was made and a warrant was issued for only a misdemeanor. This is a minor offense, which will probably allow the landowner to pay only a fine, if the warrant is truly ever served. Not only was the treated as a misdemeanor, it was dragged out and not dealt with in a timely manner, probably sue to the close-knit good-ole boy club that exists in Monroe County. Word spread quickly throughout the community and it appears that this landowner is known to be irate and threatening. Then people wonder why crimes aren’t prevented prior to people being injured or killed. The Judicial system only works when competent individuals are elected or appointed to the appropriate positions. Note: This in no way reflects anything derogatory towards the federal or state game and fish commission. Newell Gill, Mackie Edmonds, Lee Edward McGriff, Darrel McGee

Grand Prairie Quilt Society Meets For Sit ‘n Sew
The Grand Prairie Quilt Society met January 9 for their quarterly Sit ‘n Sew at the Stuttgart Public Library with six members present and one guest, Sherry Thompkins, who later joined as a new member…Welcome, Sherry! During the business session, President Glenda Landreth read the minutes of the last meeting, and Ann Crum gave the treasurer’s report. Marsha Heien was appointed Secretary/Reporter. Betty Knoll was congratulated on her January Birthday. Landreth reported that she delivered the quilt the members had made
to the Tobin Health Care center at Fort Roots at North Little Rock. Jane Fischer received the quilt and expressed her appreciation. Landreth also read a letter the society received from Douglas Bowers, Chief of Voluntary Services of the Department of Veterans Affairs…”On behalf of the Central Arkansas Veterans HCS patients and staff, we would like to extend our appreciation to you for your donation of Handmade quilts. Your thoughtfulness reflects the concern that you feel for our veterans and for the service they provide to all of us while in service to our
country. Without your support, we could not provide for the smaller niceties that make hospitalization more bearable…” Landreth read an inspirational quote from the first meeting years ago…”Life, like a quilt, creates something new by rearranging the pieces…” During the Show and Share segment, Maeola Flournoy showed a quilted table runner she made that as she said…”ran away with itself ”; Glenda showed several of her finished quilt blocks for her Cook’s Lake nature quilt; Marsha had a pillow top made of string-
quilt blocks that she was going to finish at the Sit ‘n Sew. During the Sit ‘n Sew session, many sewing and quilting tips were shared among the members. The sound of purring sewing machines and happy quilters’ chatter made the hours fly by. Two quilt tops were completed and progress was made on two others. A good time was had by all and everyone is looking forward to the next Sit ‘n Sew in April. The next regular Grand Prairie Quilt Society meeting will be February 13 at the Stuttgart Public Library.

The Arkansas Agriculture Department announced today that they will have a presented Arkansas Century Farm sign and certificate to the Nichols Family.\ The Arkansas Century Farm program is a new program that recognizes Arkansas’s rich agricultural heritage and honors families who have owned and farmed the same land for at least 100 years. The program is voluntary, places no restrictions on the land, and does not require a fee. To qualify, farms have to meet the following criteria: The same family must have owned the farm for 100 years by December 31, 2012. The line of ownership from the original settler or buyer may be through children, grandchildren, siblings, and nephews or nieces, including through marriage and adoption.

ASMSA junior Hunter Hill named to all-region band Hunter Hill of DeWitt was named to the Region II All-Region Band during auditions held Jan. 8 at Lake Hamilton Junior High in Pearcy. Hill is a junior at the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences and the Arts in Hot Springs. ASMSA is a two-year residential school that specializes in the education of academically gifted Arkansas juniors and seniors. Hill made second band, first chair for the alto saxophone. His audition qualified him to participate in the Region II All-Region Band Clinic that will be held Jan. 25-26 at Lake Hamilton High School in Pearcy. Hill said the alto saxophone’s versatility was what drew him to the instrument. “I always thought the saxophone was the coolest instrument growing up,” he said. “I saw all the styles a saxophone could play — including jazz and the blues — and thought that was the coolest thing.” Hill said he was a little nervous auditioning for the first time in a new region. “What made me nervous was that I was told the saxophones in this region were really good, and that’s what kind of threw me off,” he said. However, auditioning in a new region and qualifying to participate in the region clinic later this month has its advantages. “I really like meeting new people,

whether it’s in band camp or in region. It’s cool being able to meet these people at places like that and connecting with them,” he said. Hill is the son of Lisa and Scott Hill of DeWitt.

COMMUNITY NEWS ewitt police report December 27, 2012 – On December 27, 2012 Officer Barnett called Officer Bazarow and asked for him to come to Circle N Exxon because he had three people sitting in a truck drinking. Upon arrival, Officer Bazarow pulled up behind the red Chevy truck that has the three individuals in it and observed a white male around the passenger side of the truck holding a beer. Everyone was then asked to exit the truck and the officer ran the individuals IDs. The driver came back with a good DL and he had not been drinking so he was asked to go back to the truck. The white male in the passenger’s side front of the truck admitted to drinking beer and was cited for Drinking in Public 5-71-212. Officer Bazarow then as the man to get the alcohol out of the vehicle and place it on the toolbox of the truck and he did so. He also asked what was in the Styrofoam cup and the man replied that it was a mixed drink. The younger white male in the rear passenger’s side of the truck was a juvenile. He admitted to drinking beer to Officer Barnett and was cited for Minor in Possession of Alcohol 3-03-203. The older white female in the driver’s side rear of the vehicle admitted she was drinking the mixed drink in the white Styrofoam cup to Officer Barnett and she was cited for Drinking in Public 571-212. December 28, 2012 - A two-vehicle accident was reported on Highway 1. Vehicle 1 was traveling north behind vehicle 2 when the driver of vehicle 1 thought vehicle 2 was going to turn left. He said thinking this, he passed vehicle 2 on the right. But before he completed the pass vehicle 1 made a right turn and the two trucks sideswiped each other striking mirrors. The driver of vehicle 2 said he was traveling north on Highway 1 in front of vehicle 1. He said he slowed to make a right turn and vehicle 1 passed on the right and the two trucks sideswiped each other. December 29, 2012 – On December 29, 2012,
a man reported to the DeWitt Police Department that his truck had been hit while he was in his room asleep. Upon arrival, Officer Toby Smith spoke with the owner of vehicle 1 and he said he’d just finished duck hunting and went to take a nap. When he had come outside after his had woken up, he had found that his truck had been hit on the passenger side door. The owners of the motel said the only person that was parked by him was their cleaning lady. Officer Smith went to speak with the cleaning lady, the driver of vehicle 2 and she said that she didn’t hit anything that she knew of. The officer asked that she come back with him to the motel and she did. She stated that her truck had been making a funny noise and not running right and a good song was on the radio so she turned it up and didn’t realize that she hit the other vehicle. She said she was very sorry for not realizing what she had done. Vehicle 2 had visible damage to the passenger taillight and bumper that matched the damage to vehicle 1. Pictures were taken and no further action was taken. December 31, 2012 – Officer Bazarow was dispatched to 915 South Van Buren for a domestic dispute. Upon arrival, Officer Bazarow spoke to a man who stated that his cousin had hit him on top of his head numerous times and that he wanted to press charges. There was no visible marks or cuts at that time. The officer then spoke to the assailant. He stated that he had gotten into a fight with the man because he had threatened to beat his 17 year-old son. The assailant was then advised that he was going to jail for domestic battery. He stated that he wanted to press charges on the other man for terroristic threatening. He was advised that he would have to come to the police department to fill out an affidavit. After hearing the officer, the first man said that he would not press charges on his assailant if the other man didn’t
press charges on him. They all agree upon that and the first man asked if the officer could go into the house with him to get his belongings. When the other man approved, the officer assisted the first man, his wife, and daughter in getting their belongings. The second man’s sister then advised the officer that she lived there with her brother and asked if when she came back to get her belongings if the police department could assist her and the officer advised that all she would have to do was call. December 31, 2012 – An officer was dispatched to Crestpark nursing home to speak with one of the workers. Upon arrival, the woman stated that she went to get into her vehicle this morning and found that he passenger side was scratched up.

The man stated that sometime in the last thirty days someone had stolen three (3) Delco batteries from a truck he had parked on the side of his shop. He gave an estimated value of the batteries at $115 each. The vehicle the batteries were taken from is a red 1973 GMC tractor. January 4, 2013 – Officer Bazarow was advised that Officer Barnett and Officer Chapman were at the Sahara Motel to remove an individual because management did not want him there anymore. Upon arrival Officer Barnett informed Officer Bazarow that he and Officer Chapman had found drugs (Meth) and a pipe used to smoke the drugs in the room and asked if Officer Bazarow could place a young woman under arrest and place her in his car. Before he placed her in cuffs, she asked if she could gather her belongings into her bag. The officer complied and afterward cuffed her and placed her in his car. When the officer arrive at the Arkansas County Juvenile Detention Unit, the young woman informed Officers Bazarow and Barnett that the guy she had bought the drugs from
was at the Sahara Motel in room 11 and his name was B. She was advised that she had the right to remain silent. She stated that she knew but told the officers the information anyway. January 5, 2013 – Officer Bazarow, Officer Adam Barnett, Trooper Billy Mccradic, and Deputy Bobby Dumond went to the Sahara Motel to remove a subject from the motel for management. Upon arrival, Officer Barnett approached the door as a black male later identified as Brandon Nelson opened the door to the room. While talking to Nelson, Officer Bazarow smelled a strong odor of marijuana coming from within the room. Officer Barnett advised him of why we were there and asked if we could come in the room and he said that we could. When Mr. Nelson was asked if there were any drugs in the room he stated that there was not, that he “had smoked the entire bag of weed earlier that day” but that the officers could look if they wanted. While conducting the search, Officer Bazarow noticed that Mr. Nelson had a large amount of shoe boxes in the room and in every box when opened the smell of marijuana got stronger and a small amount of marijuana could be found in each shoe. Trooper Mccradic found marijuana on Mr. Nelson’s person at some point during the time Officer Bazarow searched the shoe boxes. The officers continued to search the room and Officer Bazarow was asked to take Mr. Nelson into custody. He was placed in cuffs and transported to the patrol unit. While Officer Bazarow was outside with Mr. Nelson, Officer Barnett advised that Deputy Dumond had found a large baggie with a white crystal like substance in it in between two foam cups on top of the entertainment center. The white substance was 28.2 grams with a street value of $4000. Officer Barnett had Mr. Nelson empty his pockets and found $232 in cash. Officer Bazarow then asked if he should seize Mr. Nelson’s phone and was advised to do so. He took Mr. Nelson’s phone ad filled out a property receipt form and gave him a copy. Nelson was also given a property receipt for the other items that were taken in connection with his charges. The charges were Possession of Controlled Substance 5-64-419, one count misdemeanor for the marijuana and one
count felony for the white crystal like substance believed to be Meth. January 6, 2013 Officer Toby Smith was dispatched to 710 West Halliburton for a window being broken out. Upon arrival, the office spoke with a white male who stated that he was at the intersection of East Fourth and South Washington when someone yelled out and then he heard the window break.

Upon arrival, the officer spoke with the first male who said his mother had sent him to the store and when he was walking out Davis, the second white male, confronted him about an incident that had occurred back in June. Davis then swung a silver pipe at the first man’s head, who jumped back but was still hit on the right side of his body leaving marks and bruises. The man ran back into the store with Davis chasing him and called the DeWitt Police Department. Davis fled the area in a white Dodge truck and went to a house on North Washington Street and left there walking. Officer Smith made a traffic stop on the white Dodge truck and found the weapon in the passenger side of the truck bed. Davis was later found walking at the intersection of West Halliburton and North Jefferson Street where he was taken into custody and transported to the Arkansas County Detention. Davis also had a strong odor of intoxicants coming from his person. January 6, 2013 Officer Toby Smith was dispatched to Crestpark Nursing home for a complaint of someone harassing and messing with their vehicle. Upon arrival, he spoke with a white female and she said that she was receiving threatening text messages, calls at work, and the person was messing with her vehicle. She was advised of the affidavit processes. January 10, 2013 - Officer Bazarow was dispatched for a report of a domestic fight. Upon arrival, he spoke with a white female, who stated that her and her boyfriend had gotten into an argument. She said that her boyfriend had gone to his son’s house. She said that her boyfriend had guns in the house and that he was a felon. She showed the guns to
Officer Bazarow and Officer Barnett. Officer Barnett then called Deputy Dumond and explained the situation to him because the son’s house was in the county. Deputy Dumond met the officers and they went to the address. Upon arrival, the man stated that he and his girlfriend had gone to St. Charles and had a few drinks when they started arguing. He stated he had told her that he could not have guns but that he did have one gun, which was under the couch. The officers then noticed that he had blood on the back of his shirt. When he raised his shirt, three cuts were found. He said that he had tripped and fell to the floor and as he got up and turned around he was stabbed three times in the back with something. Officer Bazarow returned to the woman’s house to arrest her for second-degree battery. The officer asked Chief Tucker to join him at the residence. When asked what she had stabbed the man with she replied that she did not stab him. They asked if they could go into her house and she said yes that they could search the house. As they conducted the search, they found a silver knife in the kitchen sink that had been recently washed. Officer Bazarow collected the knife for evidence. They then asked for her to show them where the guns were and Chief Tucker also found the gun under the couch and it was loaded. A property receipt for the guns, ammo and knife were given to the woman and she was placed under arrest for second degree battery and transported to the Arkansas County Jail by Officer Barnett. Officer Bazarow then went to the hospital to sit with the man. Shortly after, Officer Barnett joined them and they sat until the man was released from the hospital. He was then transported to the Arkansas County Jail on charges of possession of firearms by certain persons. January 11, 2013 Sergeant Greg Miller was dispatched to the DeWitt Police Department to take a report. Upon arrival, he spoke with a man who stated that he had gotten up that morning and came to town. He didn’t notice anything wrong with his truck. He went into Family Dollar and when he was coming out of the store he noticed that the center caps on his wheels were missing. He then came straight to the police station to report the theft.

FAITH & RELIGION
God’s Deacons
“The Ever-Gathering Darkness” It’s dark. And, it’s getting darker. Recently I had the opportunity to go deer hunting one more time before the season ends. When I woke up that morning there was a heavy fog, but I relished the idea of maybe seeing a “big ‘un” emerge from the thick soup and getting a shot at him. What I didn’t relish was how difficult the fog makes it to see things. Even though I’d walked that trail many times in the dark before, this time it was different. The light from my headlamp was pretty much diffused and ineffective in the London-class soup, making it hard to even see the reflective tacks I’d strategically placed on trees along the trail. But, I finally made it to my stand around an hour before daylight. And, as I sat there waiting for first light, I began to think and pray and realized the fog all around me was really a parody of the gathering spiritual fog that’s currently enveloping our nation. Yes, dear Reader, for a long time now our nation has been losing her way morally, ethically and spiritually. We’ve become like a ship that’s broken loose from its mooring and is drifting at sea. The rudder’s been lost. There’s no captain at the helm. And, we’re drifting. Slowly drifting, but starting to gain speed as we’re pulled by the “currents of change.” “That’s good,” says one. “We’re moving forward and making progress.” “Yes,” says another. “As soon as this fog lifts we’ll be able to enjoy a spectacular view.” PAGE TWO So, on we drift. Slowly and surely. But, what an increasing number of “passengers” (citizens) on this Good Ship U.S.A don’t realize is that we’re drifting toward destruction. “What do you mean?” someone asks with a bit of a scowl and a tone of skepticism in his voice. “You’re not one of those ultra-conservative, narrow-minded, Bible-thumping, gun-toting bigots, are you?” he continues with increasing agitation in his voice. No. No, I’m not. I’m simply a fellow passenger on this Ship who’ve been given a job to do and I must do it. “And what might that job be?” the caustic critic asks.
“To warn you and the others on this Ship that we’re heading toward destruction,” I reply. Yes, dear Reader, our nation is in big trouble. We’ve turned our backs upon Almighty God, “sown to the wind and now starting to reap the whirlwind/tornado” (Hosea 8:7). And, unless we turn back to the One Who led our forefathers to establish these once-great United States, our destruction from within is assured. Last week it was announced that Atlanta pastor Louie Giglio withdrew under pressure from giving the benediction at President Obama’s second inaugural ceremony. The reason? Simply because a liberal watchdog group revealed that he’d preached a sermon some 20 years ago in which he stated that homosexuality is a sin and “the only way out of a homosexual lifestyle. . .is through the healing power of Jesus.” PAGE THREE So, he withdrew after Addie Whisenant of the Presidential Inaugural Committee said, “We were not aware of Pastor Giglio’s past comments at the time of his selection and they don’t reflect our desire to celebrate the strength and diversity of our country at this inaugural . . .As we now work to select someone to deliver the benediction, we will ensure their beliefs reflect this administration’s vision of inclusion and acceptance for all Americans.” Oh, dear Reader, how thick the gathering Darkness and how perilous our future! Unless we change course, our Ship will soon plunge headlong over the “Waterfall of Wantonness,” all because of our stiff-necked, rebellious ways. And, then the “enlightened” ones will be wondering what happened and looking for anything that floats. But, it’ll be too little, too late. There’s still time. There’s still time to turn back to God. But the hour’s late. The fog is thickening. And, the Ship’s gaining speed. May God help us all. (NOTE: If you’d like to contact Bro. Tom or receive his daily e-mail devotional, entitled “Morning Manna,” you can write him at P.O. Box 582, Coushatta, LA 71019 or e-mail him at pressingon@hotmail.com).

Romans chapter 12 through 16 teaches about using our earthly relationships to measure our relationship to God. How we relate to others is the best indicator of how we are relating to God. Romans 13:1-7 describes how we should relate to all human authority. This passage tells us that all other authority is delegated from Him. Romans 13:3-4 says, For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience’ sake. NASU Twice in verse four, we are told that that government is God’s “minister”. This word translated as minister in the KJV and the NASU is translated as “servant” in the NIV, the ESV, and the HCSB. It seems interesting to me to consider the original word which is “deacon”. I grant that it would be very easy to read more into the usage of deacon than was intended. However, I do think it is worth considering. I also note that in all of the translations, whether “servant” or “minister” is used, each is indicated as belonging to God Himself. The Bible is plain here in Romans regarding the role of government in God’s economy. Romans 13:1-7, Proverbs 8:15, Daniel 4:31-32, Proverbs 21:1, John 19:10-11, etc. leave no doubt that human government serves under the authority of God and at His good pleasure. In short, government is God’s deacon. Even as I write this, I can hear your questions regarding Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Mao, etc. Surely there is a need to consider those questions, but not in a devotional of this length. I would simply note that the government in power over the human author of Romans was on par with those just mentioned. Second, I would submit that there is a more important issue in this passage: What is God calling me to be or do? That creates a point of soul searching for me. I have a great tendency to look at the government as a negative not a positive. It seems to me that we have far more government than we need. I tend to view the government more of a hindrance than a help, more as an enemy than a friend. That leaves me with a need to carefully consider Romans 13:3-5. I am a law-abiding citizen, so I do not fear the punishing power of the state. However, I must wonder does my grumbling attitude mean that I do not keep the spirit of the command? Since the government is God’s minister/servant/deacon to me, what is the correct response from me to that government? This issue is further compounded by the fact that my relationship to governmental authority is used to evaluate my relationship to God, the true Authority from which all other authority flows. I could waste a lot of time debating how Caesar, Nero, Stalin, Hitler, the U.S. Congress/President/Supreme Court, etc. fit into Romans 13, but that pales in significance to how I fit into Romans 13. Where do you fit in?

By Don Roth Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman spent a depressing week at Milliken’s Bend Louisiana, following a bloody repulse from Chickasaw Bluffs. Together with Major Gen. John McClernand they discussed the capture of the ordnance boat Blue Wing, by Confederate cavalry operating from Arkansas Post. The military freight would aid nearby Fort Hindman. Sherman suggested taking the bastion. For him it could be an exercise in redemption; for the general McClernand, he wanted bigger fish. When the two secured the cooperation of Adm. David D. Porter, McClernand decided to take command. It was composed of two Corp containing two divisions each. One was commanded by Sherman, the other by Gen George W. Morgan. The fleet of 60 transports and gunboats tied up three miles downriver from Fort Hindman at 5 PM on Jan-
uary 9th where the 32000 troops disembarked until noon the next day. Since the war began the cotton counties between the capitals converted to corn and formed the breadbasket for the Confederacy in Arkansas. Approximately 4800 Texans and Arkansas infantry were assigned and commanded by Arkansas Gen Thomas J. Churchill. He had also called in 200 infantry from St Charles as well as Captain Johnson’s Texas Cavalry Company. On the 10th three gunboats closed to within 400 yards of the fort while the ground forces wound their way in a to the rear of Fort Hindman. It wasn’t until sometime on the 11th all the soldiers were in their cold and muddy positions. Some distance to their front was a half mile trench well manned and extending from the northwestern corner of the fort to the Post Bayou that coursed southward. For a time Johnson was assigned to
guard the shallow crossings of that stream. The massive Federal line began at the bayou, then led eastward past the fort. At 1 PM the navy launched a bombardment on the enemy position together with the army. Then Sherman sent forward his units from the the bayou and the rest of the Federal line sloshed into motion. The navy silenced all guns in the fort but one. A couple of sporadic charges were made by the Federals. One advance came to within 40 yards of the half mile trench when it was blunted by an opposing group of shotgun wielding Texans. When the Feds finally prepared for an all out assault white flags suddenly appeared on a portion of the Confederate line near the fort. When the enemy swarmed on the area, further resistance was made futile. Churchill ordered the remainder of his command to lay down their arms. (Mark K. Christ

The Texas unit blamed for the surrender had spent its service time near Shreveport and never experienced combat. The destructiveness by artillery compounded by the sight of thousands of enemy troops was overwhelming to some. The expedition suffered 30 navy and 1100 army casualties. While Churchill claimed 60 killed and 75 wounded that left 4791 prisoners. Captain Johnson was among the latter and died the following month of pneumonia in a St Louis hospital. Additionally Gen. Churchill gave up 3000 stands of arms and much ammunition, part of which came from the Blue Wing. The way was open to the breadbasket region and Little Rock but only as much as the fickle Arkansas River would allow. Gen. McClernand retired to the Mississippi River by order of Gen. U. S. Grant on January 17th..
