Ramblings
Heather Grabin, Editor
Around 10 a.m. Thursday morning I will be losing a tooth. The process will begin at 9:30, but I’m sure Uncle Dentist will be through by then.
This has happened be-fore, but this time it bothers me.
I have pretty much expe-rienced anything that can be done to a mouth by a dentist or orthodontist. Silver caps when I was little, two and a half years (and three sets of hands stuck in my mouth at the same time every month) of braces, retainers, multiple
mouth pieces so I quit grinding my teeth at night, fillings, surgical extractions, regular extractions, root ca-
nals and one crown. I feel like I just might be a tooth aficionado.
But for the last week I have been in mourning for this jaw tooth.
It’s my own fault. In a mo-ment of celebratory weak-ness last June I decided to live it up by watching a movie and enjoying Cajun trail mix.
About three handfuls in something broke my tooth. I’m still blaming it on the corn nuts. Do I call Uncle Dentist? No, no, I did not. I did go to his office and swiped (actually I was given) some orthodontic wax to cover the sharp edges of the tooth until it was wore down enough to not cut my tongue. Problem magically solved.
Until November. A tiny piece of soft, sugar free gum accidentally broke that poor tooth again. And I limp it
through until the last week of December. After an x-ray and a glance, Uncle Dentist proclaimed that this tooth, which is the opposite side twin of the crown tooth, cannot be salvaged. It has decay and is pretty much just broke beyond repair.
Usually I do not shirk dental work. Usually by the time I go I’m in pain. This time there is no pain…at the moment. I’ve been growing fonder and fonder of this tooth for the last week. I dread this removal, I’ve de-cided I kind of like this tooth. It makes me happy.
Nothing against Uncle Dentist. He’s the best dentist I’ve ever had. I just don’t want a gaping hole in my jaw that will have to be packed with gauze and swished with salt water.
Apparently life is just filled with “don’t want to’s”. By now you would think I had this figured out. Have a happy week, I’m going to spend the remaining time with my tooth as optimisti-cally as possible.
Mike GravesPublisherYou’re all familiar with
the debate over the affects of antibiotics in animal ag-riculture. You’ve no doubt “heard” humans no longer have any resistance over illness because we are fed antibiotics every time we eat processed poultry,pork or red meat.”You’ve also been told “antibiotics are not being used in human medicines to prevent disease and neither should antibi-otics be used to prevent animal disease.”For some reason,like football,everyone has an opinion about the subject and some of us have all the answers;(giving birth to jillions of natural food blogs).
For starters any farmer or rancher who does not use antibiotics is not using live animals to produce edible proteins for human con-sumption. We MUST have access to antibiotics to treat foot rot, anaplasmosis,pink-
eye , pneumonia e tc . Sometimes these antibi-otics are used to treat an ailment,sometimes they are used in the prevention of dis-ease. Regardless,antibiotics must be used,and they do not give these products away;therefore,the ranchers that have survived the last decade, use these expensive antibiotics very prudently. Besides,we consume our product. OK?
And,antibiotics have a 45 day withdrawal period and any traces of them in the carcass of poultry,pork or beef will result in the carcass being condemned.
And,if you’re being prepped for surgery,if you’re planning to travel to certain regions of Africa,if you’re exposed to tuberculosis,if you have a child exposed to a meningitis victim, your most likely taking antibiotics to prevent illness.
I suggest you not take my word,nor the word of some inner city natural food expert
aching to be relevant. Read both sides of the argument with an open mind and no agenda and you will find the truth lays where it usu-ally does; near the middle. Antibiotic use in animals is necesary and safe,when used as instructed.
And,because this is an opinion column,I am the author and my wife and I are in the cow business,i sug-gest you then visit the meat market and buy a large pack-age of rib-eyes and enjoy them with your significant other(s).
In closing,I cant thank ya’ll enough for taking the time to read this. I’m especially grateful for those of you who ask about my mom-she’s do-ing well in the big pink house at 303 College.
“I bless the day I found you,i want to stay around you,and so, I beg you...let it be me.”RIP Phil Everly

Waymon CoxGreetings from Crater of
Diamonds State Park! With 2015 underway, it’s time to look back at another fantas-tic year of diamond finds at the Crater. By the close of business on December 31, 585 diamonds had of-ficially been registered in 2014, weighing a total of 121.02 carats. That’s 130 more diamonds and nearly 25 more carats than the total registered in 2013.
Arkansans were respon-sible for 213 of last year’s diamonds, while visitors from 36 states and five for-eign countries registered 372 diamonds during the year. 346 diamonds were registered as white, 135 were brown, and 104 were yellow. 81 diamonds, about one in every seven, were found on the surface of the search area during the year, includ-ing many of the largest finds of 2014.
The first two-carat-plus diamond of 2014 was discov-ered on March 6 by Brandon Kalenda, of Maurepas, Loui-siana. A regular viewer of Discovery Channel’s “Gold Rush,” Kalenda figured dia-mond hunting was like gold panning, and that a diamond
would be in a pocket of little rocks. After digging for about 20 minutes in a drainage ditch near the entrance to the search area, Kalenda found a 2.89-carat white diamond about the size of an English pea, the second-largest of the year. He named his stone the Jax Diamond after his infant son, Jackson.
As rainstorms moved through the park in early spring, visitors found more diamonds on the surface of the park’s search area. On April 15, David Anderson, of Murfreesboro, Arkansas, found a 6.19-carat white gem after more than four inches of rain fell on the park. It was the largest diamond found in 2014 and the 9th-largest white diamond since the Crater of Diamonds became an Arkansas State Park in 1972. Anderson named his marquise-shape gem the Limitless Diamond, after the 2014 motto for the charitable organization Speed the Light.
Visitors found more than 300 diamonds during the spring and summer months, including eight weighing over carat, but the year’s third-largest diamond would not be discovered until fall. On October 19, Jerry Gullett,
of Piketon, Ohio, found a 2.78-carat light yellow, egg-shaped gem while wet sifting soil from the East Drain of the diamond search area.
We appreciate everyone who visited Crater of Dia-monds State Park in 2014 and are excited to meet those who come to the park this year. We are looking for-ward to many more diamond searching adventures in 2015 and hope you’ll be a part of it.
Most recent significant precipitation: January 3, 2015

Eighty-eight-year-old Dwight L. Moody of Delight entered a guilty plea to a misdemeanor charge of neg-ligent homicide in Pike Coun-ty Circuit Court Monday.
Moody was the driver of the vehicle that struck Jaz-min Hernandez, a seventh grader at Kirby High School, on October 27.
The accident occurred near Salem on Highway 27 between Kirby and Glen-wood as Hernandez was exiting a school bus around 3:25 p.m. to return home from school.
After being hit by the 2001 Ford Explorer, Hernandez was airlifted to Arkansas Children’s Hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries.
The original accident report filed by the Arkan-sas State Police stated that Moody “failed to yield to the bus and struck Hernandez as she crossed the highway,” despite all emergency lights and signals being active on the bus.
As part of a plea agree-ment that will keep the mat-ter out of a trial, Moody was sentenced to one year probation, a $2,500 fine and had to give up his driver’s license for life.
According to Prosecuting Attorney Bryan Chesshir, af-ter meeting with the Hernan-dez family, it was requested that Moody not serve any jail time, despite the allowance of up to a year in county jail on the misdemeanor negli-
gent homicide charges, in addition to the $2,500 fine.
Had charges of felony negligent homicide charg-es been brought against Moody, he would have faced a possible punishment of up to 20 years in jail and fines up to $15,000.

GLENWOOD -- The local death of a woman follow-ing a possible self-inflicted gunshot wound is currently under investigation by the Arkansas State Police.
According to Arkansas State Police (ASP) spokes-man Bill Sadler, local au-thorities have requested the Arkansas State Police Criminal Investigation Divi-sion to conduct an investiga-
tion into the death of Shanna Deann Stewart, 41, who was in possession of a Colorado driver license.
At the present time, ASP/CID Special Agents assigned to the case are awaiting a State Crime Lab examination report.
The Pike County Sheriff’s Department was notified of the incident around 2:48 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 28.
County deputies respond-ed to the location and se-cured the scene for state investigators.
As the body was found at the home of a person serving with the Glenwood police force, the Pike County Sher-iff’s Department has turned the investigation over to the ASP to avoid the appearance of impropriety.
GARLAND COUNTY -- A two car accident left a nine-teen-year-old Pike County man dead along with two injured.
Jesse Wehling of Glen-wood, was killed in an early morning accident at 4:53 a.m. on Repop Lane off Highway 70.
Injured in the accident was Wehling’s passenger, Theresa Holliday of Glew-nood, 22, and Cody Hall of
Bonnerdale, 20, who was driving the second vehicle.
According to the cash summary filed by the Ar-kansas State Police, Hall’s 2008 Mazda 6 was traveling eastbound in the westbound lane and Wheling swerved his 2008 Pontiac G5 into the opposing lane to avoid Hall.
Hall then corrected and returned to the eastbound lane, striking Wehling in a head on collision.
According to the report, the weather condition were clear and the road condi-tions were dry at the time of the accident.
Wehiling’s body was transported to the UAMS morgue, while Holliday and Hall were taken to St. Vincent’s Hospital in Hot Springs for treatment of their injuries.

By Avonne Petty4-H Program AssistantMURFREESBORO -- Pike
County 4-H is proud to rec-ognize two outstanding young women who are State 4-H Officers. They were elected by their peers dur-ing district and state ac-tivities. Of the seven state officers, it is an honor to have two of them serving from Pike County.
Ryann Grubbs is the 17 year old daughter of Gary and Rebecca Grubbs. She is a member of the Delight Bulldogs club. Ryann was elected to one of the 3 Of-ficer At Large positions. She has excelled in the Beef proj-ect. Exhibiting livestock is her passion. Steers, heifers and a bull have been shown by Ryann. She is serving as a 4-H Ambassador, State Fair Junior Ambassador, and Arkansas Junior Cattle-men’s Association District Vice-President. She is an accomplished showman winning Showmanship at the county Fair the past 5 years and was in the top 5 at the State Fair. She also won the Cattle Skillathon at the State Fair. This past fall her heifer was selected Grand Champion Commer-cial Heifer at the county Fair and her steer won 3rd place overall. She not only shows beef animals, she also pro-motes the industry by pre-senting demonstrations on the merits of beef in our diets. She has been featured on television several times during the State Fair.
Ryann is an accom-plished softball pitcher. This past summer, she won the Home Run Derby at the world Fastpitch Connection Summer Nationals in Myrtle Beach South Carolina. She was also All Tournament – All State in softball. She is also a dancer and has placed in several state 4-H talent competitions.
Heather Jacskon is the
17 year old daughter of Jim-mie and Renita Jackson. She belongs to the Caddo River Gems 4-H club of Glenwood. Heather is the Ouachita District Vice-President. Her main project is Leadership and she has excelled greatly in the field of emergency management. After the tor-nado ravaged Mena in 2009, she led a clothing and food drive she and her family de-livered to Mena where she witnessed the devastation it caused. She decided that people needed to be more prepared for these type di-sasters. She researched the subject and developed an idea of keeping a backpack of necessary information (kept on a USB drive) and supplies people could just grab and go in the event of a tornado. Then she com-posed brochures “Disaster Packs for the Home” and Disaster Packs for Camping and Lake Activities” outlin-ing supplies needed. She also developed a power-point presentation she has presented around the state at school and many other functions. She was instru-mental in raising money for a safe room at Kirby school.
In 2011 she was chosen as the KARK TV Arkansas Youth Humanitarian Award winner and has received awards from the Depart-ment of Emergency Manage-ment, FEMA, The Daughters of the American Revolu-tion, and the Army National Guard for her work in disas-ter preparedness. Heather has been featured on televi-sion and has given presenta-tions at state banquets. She is accomplished seamstress and won both Dressy and Sportswear divisions at the State 4-H O-Rama and also placed in the Sew With Cot-ton Contest.
Both of these are out-standing young women. Pike County 4-H is proud of their accomplishments.

Kids News
Scouts are boys, ranging in age from First Grade to Fifth Grade, who
join together and work to earn Cub Scout ranks. A rank is the level
of Scout you are, and the patches on your uniform represent which
rank you have achieved. All boys who enter into Cub Scouts must irst earn their Bobcat Badge, no matter what age they are. There are sev-
en achievements to earn a Bobcat Badge: learn the Cub Scout Motto
(Do Your Best!), the Cub Scout Promise, the Law of the Pack, the Cub
Scout sign, the Scout handshake, the Cub Scout salute, and know what
the term Webelos stands for (We’ll Be Loyal Scouts). After the Bobcat
Badge is earned, Scouts can begin working on their ranks. Beginning
in irst grade the boys are Tigers and then move up with each grade to Wolves, Bears, Webelos I, and lastly Webelos II. The highest honor in
Cub Scouting comes as a Webelos II and is called the Arrow of Light.
Boys work hard for ive years to earn this honor. When all requirements have been met, they are honored in a special ceremony where they
shoot a lit arrow across a body of water. Cub Scouts also earn Belt
Loops which are worn as part of the uniform. Scouting is fun and offers
many opportunities to learn important skills. After Cub Scouts, many
boys choose to cross over to Boy Scouts in a special ceremony. This
is usually done at the annual Blue and Gold Banquet, the yearly birth-
day celebration of Scouting. The American Boy Scouts were created
in 1910 by William D. Boyce, but the original idea was created in 1908
in London, England, by a man named Robert Baden Powell. Powell is
considered to be the Father of Scouting.

Dear Preacher: “The Bi-ble speaks of ‘obeying the gospel.’ When someone asks you, ‘What is the gos-pel?’ how do you answer?”
The word “gospel” is from a word which literally means, “good news” or “glad tidings.” But as “gospel” is used in the Scriptures, it includes more than “news” or information. Things to be believed, commands to be obeyed and promises to be received area all included in the gospel of Christ. When one hears the gospel, he is led to faith in Christ as the Author. As a result, one is led to faith in Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God. When
one has faith in Christ, he is then led to do what the Lord Jesus teaches. That is what “obeying the gospel” means. All of this is in anticipation of receiving the promise of the gospel.
Read Acts 2: 36-39. In this passage you have facts to
be believed, commands to be obeyed and promises to be received. That is why Paul writes that when Jesus returns, it will be with “an-gels of his power in flaming
fire, rendering vengeances
to them that know not God,
and to them that obey not
the gospel of our Lord Je-
sus” (2 Thes. 1:7-8). In other
words, to “obey the gospel”
simply means to trust the
Lord Jesus enough to do
what He says.

Theological ReflectionAre You a Good Steward?
Stewardship is an old word with a great current usage. A steward is one who manages the pos-sessions of another. He does not own that which he manages; He just takes care of the posses-sions of another with a great degree of account-ability.
The implications for the Christian life are stag-gering! The Bible says: “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own. For you have been bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body” (I Cor. 6:19,20). This principle of Scripture holds true, not only for the physical body, but for every aspect of our lives. Because we belong to Christ, our money, houses, autos, children/grandchildren, time, in-fluence, and abilities are not really ours. They be-
long to Christ, our Lord. We are good stewards (managers) of every as-pect of life, as we yield to the will of God.
The application of stewardship requires true faith and commit-ment to the Lordship of Christ. I am to ask Him how He wants me to raise my children/grand-children. He will direct me as to how to earn and spend money. He leads me to pro-actively arrange the calendar so
as to give Him priority over my time. I should consult Him about the investment of my life in a vocation that would hon-or God. And yes, He is to be honored in my body. I am responsible to Him for keeping healthy and living as long as possible in order to serve Him to the end of my days on earth.
Jesus will one day hold us accountable for how we have managed His property. We will all stand before Him in the judgment and give ac-count of our lives (Heb. 9:27). It will be our great-est reward to hear Him say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” This expectation and promise propels me toward a life-style of stewardship, in which He is glorified.
Make 2015 count for the Master.
You are loved,Bro. Johnny

People ask where I got my
mittens, my saddle blanket,
my wild rag, my dog’s muf-
fler, my colorful selection of
pot holders that hang in my
tackroom. I always change
the subject, but the time has
come to confess.
So there I was in the wilds
of the high desert on a cow
camp in the early fall, rid-
ing three young horses and
checking’ cows, water tanks
and fence. Pretty tough livin’
out here. My clothes didn’t
get washed much. My razor
broke. I tried to wash up at
the spring every week or
two and brushed my teeth
with bakin’ soda and salt. I
didn’t have a toothbrush,
of course, so I never got that
tough gristle completely out.
I tried to cut my own hair.
Thank goodness I didn’t
have a mirror.
A man gets lonesome
sometimes. I tried not to
think about it. I pondered
a lot. I had deep discus-
sions with my dogs but
they begin to doze off when
I questioned the wisdom of
Napoleon invading Italy in
1796 or the value of Latin as
a second language.
While trying to fix a hole
in the baseboard to keep
the pack rats out, I pulled
a board loose. There be-
hind it where it must have
dropped years ago, was a
book. It was still somewhat
readable. The pages were
yellowing around the edges
and water stains faded out
much of the print. It was
such a surprise. Remember,
you must put yourself in my
position at the time. I had
not seen another human
being for weeks, cell phones
didn’t work there, and there
was no mail delivery. I didn’t
have a radio. Things became
mundane. Your emotional
graph rarely moves off neu-
tral unless you’re getting
bucked off or snakebit. Then
out of nowhere, I found this
book. I pondered if there was
some profound meaning
that I, a solitary cowboy, was
the one to find it. Was it just
circumstance? Would it lead
me to greater knowledge
and peace of mind? Would I
become famous or rich?
The owner must have
been a learned man. He may
have studied it daily, maybe
memorized certain chap-
ters; it could have changed
his life. Words and phrases
could be discerned; “purl,
binding, blocking, slipover,
ribbed cap, moss…” in-
structions like “cast on,
yarn over, K 2 tog, rest the
needle in your lap, p.s.s.o,
crochet, garter and if you do
slip a stitch, you can work
backwards…” The illustra-
tions were illegible. They
could have been drawings
of someone doing surgery,
or sword fighting, or prepar-
ing spaghetti, or counting to
eleven on one hand. I held
them to the window, I looked
at them upside down, I tried
to iron one page with a hot
pocket knife, all to no avail.
I conjured the possibili-
ties; a manual for deckhands
on a schooner? A wiring
diagram for home appli-
ances? Parasitology Vol. 1:
Strongyles? Then a card fell
out. It said “The Manly Art of
Knitting, © 1972”. I fell upon
it like a hyena on a carcass!
And even today, though I
can’t remember anybody’s
name, where I left the car
keys, or who is the Secretary
of State, I can still knit and
purl with the best of them!
So there, I feel better get-
ting it out in the open.

Jeffery Traverner, Arkan-
sas Game and Fish Private

workshop on providing clean
water for cattle and enhanc-
ing water quality downstream.
Various government programs
including fencing to limit cattle
access to water, pond water
management, and rotational
grazing for pasture utiliza-
tion provide improvements to
water quality that benefit ev-
eryone that depends on good
water and, therefore, financial
and advisory assistance is
available for instituting certain practices.

ing with a drawing for door prizes. He can provide more
