LOCAL NEWS EWITT POLICE REPORT May 30, 2014 – While on patrol, Officer Billy Truax observed a brown in color, four door, car pull up to the stop sign at the intersection of W. 2nd and S. Jefferson street. The vehicle was traveling West on 2nd Street. As the vehicle approached Officer Truax observed the vehicle hit the brakes, and then accelerate through the stop sign. The vehicle did not stop, just continued traveling west on 2nd street. Officer Truax then immediately pulled in behind the vehicle and followed it west on 2nd Street. Officer Truax activated his blue light to attempt a traffic stop on the vehicle. The vehicle turned south onto S. Harrison and drove approximately 150 yards before pulling over. Officer Truax approached the driver, and advised him why he was stopping him. The driver stated that he did not realize he ran the stop sign. Officer Truax asked the driver for his driver’s license and proof of insurance. The driver stated that he did not have a driver’s license. Officer Truax asked if he did not have it with him, or if he never had a license. The driver stated that he had never had a license. While talking to the driver, Officer Truax could smell a strong odor of intoxicants coming from him. He then asked the driver if he had been drinking. The driver stated that he had. Officer Truax asked the driver how much had he had to drink. The driver stated “I tell you 1 beer.” The driver was then asked to step out the vehicle. The driver was asked to perform a standardized Field Sobriety Test to determine if was able to drive or not. The driver stated that he would not take the test, he was able to drive home. I then asked the driver again to take the Standardized Field Sobriety Test. Again the driver said he would not take it. The driver was then placed under arrest for Suspicion of Driving While Intoxicated, and No Driver License, and transported to the Arkansas County Detention Center. After arriving at the Arkansas County Detention Center, Officer Truax asked the driver if he would submit to BAC. The driver stated that he would. The test results were .087. The driver was issued a citation for DWI, running a stop sign, and no drivers license.

A Thought By Michael P. Daniel “[Jesus prayed], I have made Your name known to those whom You gave me from the world. They were Yours, and You gave them to Me and they have kept Your word. Now they know everything You have given Me is from You; for the words You gave to Me I have given to them, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from You – and they have believed You sent Me.” John 17:6-8 Meriam Ibrahim is a 27-year-old mother who has been sentenced to die in Sudan for converting to Christianity. There is a small twist in this story in that Ms. Ibrahim told the court she had been raised Christian by an Orthodox Christian mother (though her father was Muslim), so she never technically converted. According to Shariah law, however, the father is the one who determines the religion of the family. A woman may not marry outside of her faith, but a Muslim man can. It is further decreed that the children of this union are to be raised Muslim. Now Ms. Ibrahim has given birth and will be immediately subject to 100 lashes, but the death sentence will be delayed until the baby is 2 years old. We should also note that Ms. Ibrahim had been given four (4) days to recant and spare her own life before the death penalty was imposed, but she remained steadfast in her devotion to Messiah Jesus. Today the very thing Peter referred to (“Do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that is taking place among you to test you as though something strange were happening to you”, 1 Peter 4:12) is upon us though we Americans are pretty far removed from the situation Ms. Ibrahim faces. It is easy for us to proclaim Christ in America because there is no real threat. We can also pray for Ms. Ibrahim because this, too, poses no real risk to us. And pray we must because this will be the only way our “sister” will be spared her life; and if she is finally executed, we must be focused in our prayers to try and understand. For our trial by fire may be soon forthcoming. Jesus never promised us the things we have come to expect, but He did assure us that if we stand for Him in this life He will stand for us in the life to come. Ms. Ibrahim is worthy of our prayers, but we must also pray for ourselves – because I suspect very few of us, not having been truly tested, could withstand this kind of pressure. What she faces is inconceivable to us, but Peter reminded his audience there is nothing “strange” about what they surely faced and what Ms. Ibrahim is facing now. Our Almighty God had to hammer Pharaoh more than once to get him to release the Israelites. May we pray the psalm, “Let God rise up, let His enemies be scattered! Let those who hate Him flee before Him” (68:1) on behalf of Ms. Ibrahim and so many others around the world who face this almost daily. Perhaps this is why we were born in this country – so we could be free to pray in their behalf. Blessings, Michael

St. Charles Under Precautionary Boil Water Order
By Terrye Seamon
Although a watched pot may never boil, St. Charles residents will be watching their pots anyway due to a precautionary boil water order issued May 29. St. Charles Mayor Robert Patrick said that the well broke down Wednesday. Apparently there were two problems with it. “It was repaired once. We found a hole in the bottom portion of the line. That was repaired, and we had water Wednesday night, but [Thursday] morning something else happened to the well, and it went down. We don’t know what happened,” said Mayor Patrick. The mayor said that no one in the area was without water. “People were not out of water except when we had to blow the air out of the lines, and that took some time, but there was no outage to cause any major problems,” Patrick said. The residents in the area still have water because the city is currently linked with Grand Prairie Water’s emergency line. “We’ve had water all along. It’s just coming from a different source than our pump,” Patrick said.
He went on to say that Layne Arkansas, who put the well in 37 years ago, is currently working to correct the situation. The order, issued as a precautionary measure, stipulates that all residents affected should be advised that water used for drinking, ice cubes, and food preparation should be boiled for one minute prior to use. “It’s fine for washing dishes, washing clothes, and taking a bath,” Patrick said. Concerning human consumption though, he said, “The contaminants could be there, and that could be a health hazard.” The order will remain in effect until the well is repaired, water is restored, lines are flushed, proper measures are taken to ensure that the lines are clear from contaminates and the health department determines that the water is safe to drink. “It could be anytime,” Mayor Patrick said.

Election Day Quickly Approaching Again By Terrye Seamon Not everybody has a second chance to make a first impression, but Thomas “Eddie” Best and Ryan Eagle will during a runoff election June 10 for Arkansas County Judge. The primary election May 20 resulted in Best receiving 1,024 votes which was 43.39 percent of the total 2,819 votes, while Eagle received 708, or 30 percent, of the vote. Although these numbers were not enough to declare a winner, they did mean that incumbent Arkansas County Judge Glenn “Sonny” Cox, who only received 628 votes (26.61 percent), lost the position he has held for the past 22 years. The May 20th election also resulted in a runoff between Republican candidates David Sterling and Leslie Rutledge for Attorney General. Early voting began June 3 and will continue through Monday, June 9, at the Arkansas County Courthouses in DeWitt and Stuttgart with polls being open from 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. On Election Day Tuesday, June 10, polls will be open from at 7:30 a.m. - 7:30 p.m. Residents of DeWitt Wards 1, 2, and 3, Lagrue, Point Deluce, Bayou Meto, Brewer and Garland will report to the DeWitt Community Center to cast their ballots. Information concerning absentee voting is available at the Arkansas County Clerk’s office in DeWitt (870) 946-4349.

FAITH & RELIGION WEEKLY SERMON
His Ways Are Everlasting By William Wood Habakhuk 3:6 What God has done at one time, He will do again. Man’s ways are changeable, but God’s ways are Everlasting. There are many reasons for God giving us this comforting truth. We will name some of them. The Lord’s Ways are the result of wise deliberations. He orders all things “according to the Counsel of His Own Will. Human actions are often the hasty result of passion, or fear, and are followed by regret, but nothing can take our God by surprise, or happen different than He has forseen. His ways are the result of His Perfect Character. He has Perfect Knowledge, Perfect Wisdom, Perfect Patience, Perfect Love, and Perfect Power! “He changes not,” this is His statement about Himself! And this being exactly the truth, then His ways must remain exactly the same. Is He Eternally Just, Gracious, Faithful, Wise and Tender toward His creation? Then He must remain the same until the end. Human beings act according to their nature. When those natures change their conduct changes also. But Scripture says that God “Cannot know the shadow of turning.” His ways will last everlastingly the same! And the powerful revelation is that there could never be any reason for Him to change. A state of being perfect cannot be changed, without the chance being a mistake. You cannot improve on Perfection. When God speaks mountains tremble, the sun and moon stand still, and seas roll back. When God moves for the Salvation of His people. “Who can stay His Hand or say “What does Thou?” God’s ways are the showing forth of the Eternal Principles of what is right! Then how can one of us human beings ever accuse Him of having a wrong thought, or taking wrong action? My thought is this, how could God create a person, subject him to vanity, and then not give him a chance at salvation? This would be for our God to change His perfect nature, and if this was to ever happen we would have no foundation for our faith at all. A man can have too much money for his own good, or too much social honor, but he can’t have too much Grace. He may be subjected to too much food and grow fat, but there is no fear of us becoming too full of Grace, and so we preach that our God is Gracious, and that means the more sinful we are the more Grace He offers. Without Grace we are all dead, and we need the revelation that this Grace will never play out, as long as we have a heart to truly repent for our failures. Amen
First Resurrection By Michael Waldroup At the First Resurrection, commonly referred to as the Rapture, those who were truly born again (died in Christ) will reappear on Earth for a short period of time. Just as it was when Christ resurrected, many of the Old Testament saints that slept were resurrected with him, and were seen of many for a period of about forty days. Not everyone recognized them or even knew what was going on. The kind old priest (Caiaphas), who actually instigated the crucifixion, and with his misinterpretation of the scriptures, blinded the people to the fact that this Christ was truly the long awaited for Messiah. He was still preaching that the coming of the Lord was drawing nigh while this Resurrection was going on, and he and his whole congregation had missed it. So will it be at this Resurrection when the dead in Christ come forth from the grave in this age. They will be in their eternal young bodies, which will have the resemblance of their earthly body in their youth. They will appear unto many, but not everyone. No doubt in church services all across the land on that Sunday morning they will be preaching about the Resurrection, and giving their interpretation of how it will be. The most common interpretation is that millions are going to be missing, planes are going to crash, trains will wreck, and there will be total chaos everywhere. But, in reality, the world will never know it happened. It will be business as usual the following Monday. People will find themselves in the Tribulation Period and will realize they missed the Rapture they were told they were going in by the Caiaphas of our day. In the days of Noah, one man out of all the millions was translated out before the flood. His name was Enoch. Genesis 5:24, “And Enoch walked with God: and was not; for God took him.” He was not even missed by the people. It was a secret catching away. In Genesis 7:1-10, Noah entered the ark, and the Lord himself shut the door. Noah couldn’t get out, and no one could get in. It was seven days before the rain came. The sun was shining, the people were going on about their life as usual not realizing it was over for them. They had sinned away their day of grace. Jesus said it will be like that again at the end time. It will be a day just like the day you are reading this article. This must be why Jesus said in John 5:39, “Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” He didn’t say go ask some preacher, He invited you to get alone with Him and His Word. After all, when it is all said and done it is between you and Him anyway. Not you and some preacher or church. They could be wrong just like Caiaphas.
The Intolerance of Tolerance By Tom Smith Well, here we go again. Last week I learned a VA hospital in Iron Mountain, Michigan, recently hid the statutes of Jesus and Mary, along with a cross and altar, behind a curtain in their chapel. And, officials there are trying to figure out what they’re going to do with the stained glass windows in the chapel that have been there for years. Seems that the decision of the VA officials there came after the National Chaplain Center conducted an on-site inspection and determined the hospital’s chapel was not in compliance with government regulations. Supposedly, since 2008 there’s been a policy in place that mandates that “chapels must be maintained as religiously neutral, reflecting no particular faith tradition.” Now, as a military chaplain I can understand the importance of being sensitive to the pluralistic nature of our active and retired military members. But, I never thought I’d see the day when such extreme steps as hiding any Christian symbols behind a curtain would be taken. Down through the years I’ve been in Muslim mosques and Jewish synagogues. Even though my beliefs and practices are different in matters of Faith, I still respect their right to worship as they please—and I would hope they’d extend the same to me. That’s why it grieves me when I see Christianity seemingly being singled out in this current climate of political correctness. You’d think that we lived in a religiously hostile country overseas where Christians are viewed as infidels, persecuted, imprisoned and even killed. I never thought I’d see the day in these United States when it’d be wrong to end a prayer in Jesus’ Name. . .put “In God We Trust” on our coins. . .say “One nation under God” in our pledge of allegiance. . .or distribute Gideon Bibles in public schools. Yes, we’ve changed—and not for the better. But, I shouldn’t be surprised, for the Bible predicted that such would happen in the last days. Jesus Himself said “In this world you WILL have tribulation; but, be of good cheer for I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). He also said this world will hate those
DeWitt Era-Enterprise
who follow Him because “they hate Him. And, the reason they hate Him is because they hate His Heavenly Father” (John 15:18-25). So, we shouldn’t be surprised at the hospital’s hiding anything Christian behind a curtain— or atheists’ wanting to remove crosses from veterans’ memorials that have been there for 50+ years. The cross is offensive to them. And, so is the Name of Jesus. That’s why the Apostle Paul said “The preaching of the Cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved, it is the Power of God” (I Corinthians 1:17). He also said “Preaching Christ crucified is a stumbling block to the Jews and foolish to the Greeks, i.e., the ‘enlightened ones’” (I Cor. 1:23). Therefore, instead of resorting to some type of violence like the Islamic extremists and wanting to cut off someone’s head or blow somebody up, I’ll simply “love them, bless them, do good to them and pray for them” as Jesus taught (Matthew 5:44). Otherwise, I’m no different than those who are a walking contradiction when it comes to tolerance and intolerance. Let them go on and keep hiding Jesus behind curtains. If a massive stone covering a borrowed tomb couldn’t keep Him in on that Resurrection morning, neither will PC or others’ intolerance keep Him and His Message from still changing lives—unless we, who are His followers, succumb to the pressure or the PC Patrol. May Almighty God give us the courage to “fight the good fight, patiently run and finish the Race that is set before us while keeping the Faith in the process” (II Timothy 4:7-8; Hebrews 1:1-2). That way we’ll not fear what others may say or do—and, when it’s all said and done, we’ll hear Him say “Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter now into the Joy of our Lord” (Mt. 25:21, 23). What a Day that will be! (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.

Gayne Preller’s daring journey down the Mississippi River and up the White River in a “floating photographic gallery” during the early 1900s. It recreates how the Prellers became pioneering recorders of life in the Arkansas Delta. “If you love great images and the romance of rivers, you will thoroughly enjoy this real-life epic and the photographic legacy as expressed in the exhibit, “ Twyla Gill Wright said of the exhibit, when it premiered in Batesville last month at the Old Independence Regional Museum. “Our museum is proud to have been a partner in its development.” Hugo and Gayne Preller created an archive of photography and art that is now acclaimed as the earliest and most diverse in the Arkansas Delta. Their incredible family story and professional work spanned over half a century, from 1895 to 1950. As Allyn Lord, director of the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History in Springdale has written “This is an amazing uncovering of history, not just Arkansas history, but the history of photography, of riverboat culture and of race relations.” The discovery of this photographic archive is an adventure story on its own. Chris Engholm, an author photographer, tells how it all began. “In the fall of 2012, river rat Jim Fortune and I began paddling 400 miles down the White River with the goal of collecting artworks and stories for a book titled ‘White River Memoirs.’ After we tied up at Chickasaw Crossing, the original name for Augusta, I met the Preller’s granddaughter, Gayne Preller Schmidt. From that moment on we forged a friendship. I soon learned that her grandparents were early photographers and that she had kept many of their
photographs stored away.” Engholm continued, “Over time, we unearthed hundreds of the Preller’s prints and glass negatives in boxes. Gayne gave me permission to digitize many of them and together we began to envision a traveling exhibition that would showcase her grandparents’ work. We also began the process of restoring and organizing a permanent Preller archive of over 2,200 images and objects.” Hugo Preller was an artist who painted scenes on mussel shells and other materials, plus taking photographs of outdoor scenes. His wife, Gayne, was an engaging business woman in the community and people came from all over the region to be photographed by her, including African Americans whom she photographed with great artistry. She was one of the region’s earliest female portraitists, and almost certainly the first female commercial photographer in the Arkansas Delta. Engholm explained, “To create the exhibit, I formed an advisory group of scholars, and, in partnership with the Old Independence Regional Museum in Batesville, secured a grant from the Arkansas Humanities Council. Early on, the late photographer-historian, Greer Lile, was a supporter and granted the use of his model of the Preller’s’ Floating Gallery. This exhibition is dedicated to him.” The opening exhibit features 75 Preller works of art and photography, family artifacts, and the 4-foot long model of the floating gallery. A standing panel of original doors from the Preller studio in Augusta will duplicate their setting for portrait photography. A book about the Prellers and their work will be on hand.

Dardenne Selected for GEAR UP Superintendent Leadership Institute
The National Council for Community and Education Partnerships (NCCEP) has announced that Dr. Lynne Dardenne, superintendent of the DeWitt School District, has been accepted into the 2014-15 Superintendent Leadership Institute (SLI). The 10-month program is designed to engage a small learning community of superintendents in senior-level discussions and trainings that focus on creating, sustaining, and strengthening the college going culture in their districts. In reflecting on what she hopes to gain from the SLI experience, Dr. Dardenne expressed a desire to better engage the students and parents of her district. “I hope to gather ideas from other superintendents as to how student achievement has been improved and students and parents have been motivated to a greater degree of rigor,� she said. Dardenne’s participation is supported by the Phillips Community College of the University of Arkansas (PCCUA) GEAR UP program, which serves eight school districts in eastern Arkansas. According to GEAR UP Director Cory
Major, Dardenne’s participation will ensure that the program’s impact continues well beyond funding. “Investing in our area’s leadership is critical to the success of GEAR UP and programs like it,� Major said. “Even when the funding goes away, the skills building and knowledge provided to our community’s leadership remains and will impact students beyond the cohort of students we are currently serving.� Over the course of the SLI year, Dr. Dardenne will receive five full days of professional training during three national sessions in Washington, DC, Philadelphia, and Chicago. Between sessions, NCCEP will provide coaching and peer support to help participants establish and implement personal goals and to hone their leadership strategies. This marks the second year that NCCEP has sponsored the Superintendent Leadership Institute. NCCEP is a national non-profit, non-partisan organization working to increase access to higher education for low income students through advocacy, training, and research. As the U.S. Department of Education’s designated training provider for GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs), NCCEP organizes the NCCEP/GEAR UP annual conference and capacity-building workshop and supports and facilitates a variety of partnerships, leadership training programs, and research and advocacy efforts serving the GEAR UP community nationwide. PCCUA has administered the GEAR UP Partnership since 2005. It is currently in year three of its second GEAR UP grant, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Education with a dollar-for-dollar match requirement for the partnership. The current grant works with eight area school districts: Barton-Lexa, DeWitt, Dumas, HelenaWest Helena, Lakeside, Lee County, Marvell-Elaine, and Stuttgart.

Bisswanger Displays 12 Pound and 2 and Half Ounce Cabbage
Farmers Market Offers Fresh Garden Produce and More Submitted by Chuck Capps, County Extension Agent –Staff Chair
Above: The Farmers Markets welcomes all customers and accepts WIC coupons for produce. Below: Freshly picked cabbage, turnips, and onions are a sample of some of the fresh vegetables available at the Farmers Market.
Now that summer has arrived, we look forward to enjoying fresh vegetables from the garden. There is an abundance of fresh produce available to families in the area through the Arkansas County Farmers’ Markets. Arkansas County grown vegetables currently being marketed include lettuce, cucumbers, yellow squash, zucchini, white & red onions, turnips, eggs, and more. In most cases, the vegetables are picked the same day, so as to provide the freshest vegetables possible. Other items being offered include preserved foods. The Stuttgart Market also has a vendor with home crafted furniture and other wooden items. The Arkansas County Farmers’ Market in DeWitt is located on Highway 1 South on the parking lot just north of the Farmers Merchants Bank and is open on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, or as produce is available. Typically, producers are on sight at the markets by 7:00 a.m. and remain until around 11:00 a.m., unless produce is all sold out before then. The Famers Markets are open to all persons regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, gender, age, disability, marital or veteran status, or any other legally protected status. Stop by your local Farmers Market to take advantage of the fresh produce available from Arkansas County home gardeners.

Students Take MOS Certification Tests Students in Mrs. Julie Sebree and Mrs. Nancy Whiting’s classes were given the opportunity to take Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification tests. MOS certification is the leading IT certification in the world. More than 1 million MOS exams are taken every year in over 140 countries. Certifying in MOS requires students to demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and abilities to productively use Microsoft Office. MOS enables students to tap in to the full features and functionality of the Microsoft Office system, resulting in heightened levels of individual performance, confidence, and differentiation. In the classroom, MOS promotes success for students (and instructors), builds individual distinction, and prepares students for an increasingly competitive workforce.

Rice Cooking Recipe Contest By Ana Hollis, County Extension Agent – Family & Consumer Sciences Does your family have a favorite rice dish that you enjoy preparing and serving? If so, the 2014 Arkansas Rice Expo Recipe Contest is an opportunity for you to show off your culinary talents. With Arkansas County being the rice (and duck) capital of the world you are bound to have some savory rice recipes that would grab the judges’ attention so they will want to sample the prepared dish. The third annual contest will be held Friday, August 1, in conjunction with the Arkansas Rice Expo at the Grand Prairie Center in Stuttgart. The objective of the contest is to promote healthy attributes of cooking with rice, to showcase the rice industry, and to advance cooking skills. The deadline for entries to be received is June 10 and winners of the preliminary round will be notified by July 1. The first phase of the contest is to submit your recipe by June 10. An electronic copy of the entry form and recipe must be submitted online as well as a hard copy mailed to the address as provided on the entry form. Go to the following website to download an electronic copy of the entry form: http://www.uaex. edu/rice-expo/ . If you do not have access to a computer you can bring a copy of your recipe to the Arkansas County Extension Office by June 6 and we will assist you in completing the entry process. The top 10 contestants will be chosen from the recipes for competing with their prepared rice dish on August 1. Additional information and complete contest rules are enclosed, along with a copy of the entry form. This contest is open to all eligible adults age of nineteen and above, regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, gender, disability, marital or veteran status or any other legally protected status. Since we are the host county I am hoping many of you will enter the contest and share with others our love for rice in Arkansas County.
