State Capitol Week in Review From Senator Jonathan Dismang LITTLE ROCK – The state Correction Department has obtained the drugs needed for lethal injection, preparing the way for the governor to set an execution date for an inmate on death row who was sentenced to death for capital murder in Johnson County in 1992.

Sidney Burnett, a pastor who was 69 years old, was killed in 1991 by Jack Greene, who is now 62. Greene’s attorneys argue that he is mentally ill. The state attorney general said in a letter to the governor that Greene had exhausted his legal appeals and that no court has a stay of execution in place.

Arkansas executed four inmates earlier this year, in April. Eight men were originally scheduled to die by lethal injection, but the lives of four inmates were spared by last minute court rulings.

Greene was not among the eight men scheduled for execution in April. A spokesman for the governor’s office said that he would schedule an execution date for Greene.

Adding to the controversy over Arkansas executions was the fact that one of the three drugs used for lethal injection was due to expire. The state scheduled the April executions before the

Donate blood and get a free September haircut LITTLE ROCK, Ar. (Aug. 22, 2017) – Feel good, do good and look good this September by donating blood or platelets with the American Red Cross and get a free haircut coupon from Sport Clips Haircuts.

Blood and platelet donors of all blood types, especially type O negative and O positive, are urgently needed to replenish the blood supply following a critical summer blood shortage.

“We are excited to continue the Saving Lives Never Looked So Good campaign and partnership with Sport Clips this September,” said Donna M. Morrissey, director of national partnerships, Red Cross Biomedical Services. “We are grateful for Sport Clips showing its support of the Red Cross and saying ‘thank you’ to those helping save lives through blood donations.”

Those who come out to give blood or platelets Sept. 1-30 will receive a coupon for a free haircut via email several days after their donation. The coupon is valid through Nov. 11, 2017, at participating Sport Clips locations. Donors must have a valid email address on record to receive the coupon.

“Sport Clips is proud to support the blood collection efforts of the Red Cross on a national level,” said Amanda Palm, corporate communications manager of Sport Clips.

“There is always a need to maintain the blood supply in our country, and a free haircut is a simple way we can thank donors for their lifesaving donation.”

Donors are urged to make an appointment to donate using the free Blood Donor App, online

Obituary policy Because of the 117 year history as a family and community newspaper, The Grand Prairie Herald is happy to publish a picture and the first 300 words of an obituary for free as a service and as a courtesy to the families of our community.

Unfortunately, with the ever increasing cost of printing and other business expenses the paper cannot provide longer obits for free. Beginning with the 301st word, the rate will be 10 cents per word to publish.

Due to the fact that a majority of obituaries are received from funeral homes, the paper reserves the right to edit unpaid obituaries down to 300 words.

The entire obituary will only be published if the paper is contacted directly either by email or by phone. The cost of the obituary will be billed to those with accounts or will need to be paid for in advance.

at redcrossblood.org or by calling 1-800RED CROSS (1-800- 733-2767).

The Red Cross and Sport Clips encourage donors to use the hashtag #SavingLivesLooksGood to share their new looks and invite others to give.

There will be two local opportunities to donate blood in September - in Stuttgart on September 6 from 12 p.m. until 6 p.m., at the Grand Prairie Center at 2807 Highway 165 South and in Des Arc on September 11 from 2:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. at the First Baptist Church at 401 Erwin St. How to donate blood Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1800- 733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in.

Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood.

drug’s expiration date.

The new supply of midazolam, a sedative used in lethal injections, was obtained on August 4 and will be good until January of 2019.

State law prohibits prison officials from releasing the identity of the pharmaceutical supplier who sold the lethal drugs to the state. News organizations filed Freedom of Information requests and learned that the state paid $250 for the drugs.

One remaining legal issue is a challenge by the pharmaceutical supplier that sold another of the lethal injection drugs to the Arkansas Department of Correction.

It is vecuronium bromide.

The company contends in court that state officials bought the drug under false pretenses.

The company argues that Correction officials said the drug would be used for medical purposes in prison health units, in order to circumvent the company’s policy against allowing its drugs to be used in executions. A circuit judge ruled in favor of the pharmaceutical company in a preliminary action, but the state Supreme Court overturned the lower court.

More litigation is on the way.

T h e Correction Department’s supply of vecuronium bromide expires on March 1 of 2018 and its supply of the third drug, potassium chloride, expires on August 31 of next year.

Industrial Recruitment According to national news reports, Toyota and Mazda are planning a joint venture to build a $1.6 billion auto manufacturing plant that would employ 4,000 people and produce 300,000 vehicles a year. Arkansas is one of more than a dozen states bidding to be the location of the project.

The corporations as being secretive about their plans, but they did recently announce that they intend to join forces to increase their presence in the United States.

A spokesman for the Arkansas Economic Development Commission told USA Today that the state certainly is interested in pursuing the plant.

The publication listed the variety of incentives Arkansas has to offer, including the authority to issue bonds to pay for infrastructure that would lure a superproject.

Arkansas can provide job training, sales tax exemptions and tax credits.

The view from my window

by Roxanne Bradow I want to thank all of you who have remarked favorably about my column. I hope that this one doesn’t make you angry.

One person, who worked with me at the school for many years, said that since I have retired from the school and have taken over the paper full time, she has gotten to see a side of me that she had never seen. That’s how it is when you work for a school district (or any business that provides a service to others) - there’s the professional you, and there’s the personal you.

That’s how it has to be, you see. In that kind of profession, it has to be business, not personal.

When you get personal, you get in trouble.

It starts simple. You do a favor for a friend, or a friend’s child. You do something for one person that you would not do for someone else. You show a little favoritism. Not much. Just a little. It won’t matter, because no one will ever know. Or if they do, everyone does it right? Unfortunately, it’s human nature. But, as Katherine Hepburn’s character in “The African Queen” said, “Nature is what we have been put here to rise above.” At least, that’s my philosophy.

But the benefits of favoritism can be enormous. If you do a favor for the right person or persons, down the line at some time, they are going to favor you or someone you care about. They get what they want, and you get what you want. It’s quid pro quo - this for that - and it’s a slippery slope indeed.

It’s easy to do for those that we like. You know the ones just like us. The ones we know. The ones we go to church with. The ones we grew up with.

The ones we went to school with. The ones who look like us, or act like us, or think like us. But who speaks for those who cannot speak for themselves? We all know these people. They are the disenfranchised - those who have no power, no prestige, no voice.

Here is what I believe.

Everyone, as best as we are physically able, should be treated equally.

No matter who they are, where they live, what they look like, how they think, or what they wear.

And we as parents and as educators, need to teach our children (when you are a teacher, staff member and/or administrator every child is your child) to do this as well, by word and by example. Example is important because as my mother always said, “Actions speak louder than words.” And that’s a difficult thing, because all of us are human.

We humans seem to feel better about ourselves when we can think less of others. We tend to be tribal, preferring those we know to those who do not run in our circles. But when you convince yourself to see some one or some group as “the other”,

you risk a Rwanda or a Nazi Germany. History is full of examples of this, and yet we never learn those lessons. A wise man once said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

So here is a little reminder of our past.

America was built on the idea of equality for all, even those we don’t like and those we don’t agree with. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

That’s what the Declaration of Independence says. That is the big, world-changing idea that our country was founded upon. It doesn’t say all people who are like me are created equal.

It doesn’t say that only those like me deserve life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

And our Christian faith doesn’t say that either.

The Bible tells us that we are required to love our fellow man as we love ourselves.

We are required to take care of those who cannot take care of themselves, and we are to welcome the immigrant. We can never forget these things. So how do we do this?

Well - I have been watching, with more than a little interest, the reporting on the effects of Hurricane Harvey in Texas. I have relatives who live in the Houston area, and I haven’t heard from them since the hurricane hit land. It is amazing how disasters bring out the best in people. I have been watching MSNBC’s reporting of the flood all morning, and I doubt that the folks who have been working to evacuate families from the water determine who they save by what ethnic group or religion they belong to. When the water is four to five feet high, you don’t think so much about who the person in the rescue boat is.

So maybe that’s how it’s done. If we could treat people like we would if we needed them for help , maybe our country would be less divided and more caring. We are the agents of change. There is no one else.

Thank You The Hazen School District would like to thank BancorpSouth, Farmers & Merchants Bank, and Calvary Baptist Men’s Fellowship group for providing the wonderful meals to our faculty and staff the week of our professional development days in preparing for our 2017-2018 school year.

We are all looking forward to a great year with our students!

Thank you again, Hazen School District Faculty and Staff

GFWC holds summer directors’ workshop

By Chris Weems GFWC Clubs of Arkansas met Saturday, August 19 for Summer Board Directors’ Workshop at Arkansas Veteran’s Home in North Little Rock.

Diane Fowler, of Warren, State president of General Federation of Women’s Clubs, presided with approximately 40 persons present.

Diane announced that Arkansas received two awards at the International Convention in June. They are second place in contributions to St. Jude’s and ninth in the nation in fundraising for the signature project, Domestic Violence.

Lori Burton, announced that her club, Junior Civic League of Fort Smith, had an article in the current issue of the GFWC Club Woman, for

their project, “Blow the Whistle to Help Stop Child Abuse.”

After registration, the first business session consisted of revisions to the constitution and by-laws.

After other routine business, the group had a fundraising break. New red GFWC shirts were distributed. They had been ordered at the Spring Convention.

The Guest speaker for the lunch meeting was Mark Lenard, a veteran who founded the Arkansas Freedom Fund.

“The Arkansas Freedom Fund serves and supports activities that benefit our military, veterans, wounded warriors and their families,” Lenard stated. He said that all the money raised for the AFF stays in Arkansas for one of the outdoor programs for Arkansas

Diane Fowler, GFWC-AR president, Marianne Maynard, Stuttgart, past president of GFWC-AR Robin Stayton, Stuttgart, District VIII president, and Jenelle Lipton, past GFWC-AR president, with part of 50 rods and reels, that a member of Marianne’s Club in Stuttgart donated to the Veteran’s Home.

The noodles have been adapted for storage containers for each rod.

The Hazen Splash Pad at the Town and Country Play Park will be closing soon! The splash pad will be open for the Labor Day holiday, but will close September 5, 2017 for the winter months. We hope the children have enjoyed it, and we will reopen the splash pad on Memorial Day weekend, 2018.

Veterans.

“We currently have program areas of biking, golfing, fishing, hiking, and martial arts. All are designed to get veterans active while promoting health and rehabilitation ,” Lenard said.

He told of the biking program that recycles the bicycles and three-wheelers are used by individuals as long as the veteran needs that vehicle. The bicycle, which may have cost nearly $3,000.00, comes at no cost to the veteran and when he no longer uses it, it is given to another veteran, after re-conditioning it.

After lunch, other business was conducted. The group made donations to the Arkansas Freedom Fund, and to the Arkansas Veterans Home for use of the Visors Center for the meeting, although there was no formal charge.

The president conducted a quiz on the constitution and made explanations about the answers.

Robin Stayton, District VIII president, gave some plans for the Spring Convention, May 4-5, 2018. They will use “Derby Days” as the theme.

Diane Glaze, presidentelect, had some comical readings about conducting business and handling public relations.

Announcements included one that District IV will join District VIII for a joint Board meeting Thursday, September 14, beginning at 4:30 p.m., and closing with dinner at 6:30, at Arkansas County Bank, Mallard Room (3rd. floor), 620 E. 22nd street in Stuttgart.

The meeting closed with the Collect for Club Women repeated in unison.

CONWAY, Ark. (AETN) — The Arkansas Educational Television Network is encouraging the collection of stories from those who experienced the events of the Vietnam War. The public is invited to share stories through social media outlets with #VietnamStoriesPBS or the “Share Your Story” tool at aetn.org/thevietnamwar.

vides a field kit to collect the stories and complete submission guidelines at loc.gov/vets.

AETN is encouraging the collection of Arkansas veterans’ stories in conjunction with the local initiative “AETN Salutes Arkansas Vietnam Veterans” and the premiere of Ken Burns’s “The Vietnam War.” Additional information, including complete information on how to get involved, is available at aetn.org/thevietnamwar.

“The Vietnam War,” a 10-part, 18-hour documentary film series directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, will premiere on AETN Sunday, Sept. 17, at 7 p.m. An immersive 360degree narrative, the series tells the epic story of the Vietnam War as it has never before been told on film. The first five episodes will air Sept. 17 through Thursday, Sept.

21, and the final five episodes will air Sunday, Sept.

24, through Thursday, Sept. 28, at 7 each night.

“The Vietnam War” features testimony from nearly 100 witnesses, including many Americans who fought in the war and others who opposed it, as well as Vietnamese combatants and civilians from both the winning and losing sides.

Ten years in the making, the series brings the war and the chaotic epoch it encompassed viscerally

to life. It includes rarely seen, digitally remastered archival footage, photographs taken by some of the most celebrated photojournalists of the 20th century, historic television broadcasts, evocative home movies, and revelatory audio recordings from inside the Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon administrations.

The film will be accompanied by an outreach and public engagement program, providing opportunities for communities to participate in a national conversation about what happened during the Vietnam War, what went wrong and what lessons are to be learned.

Viewers are encouraged to join the conversation: #VietnamWarPBS. AETN’s local initiative, “AETN Salutes Arkansas Vietnam Veterans,” also includes the following: *Preview screening events – AETN and community partners will host multiple preview screenings of “The Vietnam War” throughout the state in August and September. An opportunity for discussion will follow each screening. *The Wall of Faces – The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund is committed to finding a photo to go with each of the more than 58,000 names on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

AETN is encouraging the public to help collect the more than 150 missing Arkansas photos for The Wall of

Faces. *Quilts of Valor – AETN and the Arkansas chapter of the Quilts of Valor Foundation have partnered to provide quilts of comfort and healing for Arkansas Vietnam veterans. The public is invited to nominate a veteran to receive a quilt. Anyone interested in contributing to the quilters’ efforts may consider donating fabric and other quilting items at local screening events. *Local productions – AETN is producing local programs in conjunction with the series premiere, including “Arkansans Ask: Veterans History Project,” “Men &amp; Women of Distinction: Ray Rogers” and “Barnes and…A Conversation With Col. Karen Lloyd.”

Additionally, each Thursday night following regularly scheduled programs at 8 and 9 p.m., AETN will air short videos produced to complement “The Vietnam War.” PBS is creating an interactive website and an educational initiative to engage teachers and students through multiple platforms. AETN PBS LearningMedia features a collection of classroom resources to encourage students to explore the many dimensions of this history including key military, political and cultural events, as well as the diverse human experiences featured in the series.

Volunteers needed for AARP Foundation Tax-A Aide Michael Rowett Associate State Director -Communications LITTLE ROCK— AARP Foundation TaxAide is looking to expand its team of volunteers for the upcoming tax season.

Approaching its 50th year, Tax-Aide offers free tax filing help to anyone, especially those 50 and older, who can’t afford a tax preparation service.

Tax-Aide volunteers make a difference in their communities by assisting many older, lower-income taxpayers who might otherwise miss out on the credits and deductions they’ve earned.

Tax-Aide volunteers receive training and support in a welcoming environment. There is a need for volunteer tax preparers, client facilitators, those who can provide technical and management assistance and interpreters. Every level of experience is welcome.

Volunteer tax preparers complete tax preparation training and IRS certification. AARP Foundation Tax-Aide in Arkansas specifically needs a volunteer to answer phone calls

during tax season and address general questions such as hours of operation. Familiarity with preparing taxes is not necessary for this specific volunteer opportunity.

To learn about AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteer opportunities, visit www.aarpfoundation.org/t axaide or call 1-888OUR-AARP (1-888-6872277). AARP Foundation Tax-Aide is offered in coordination with the IRS. Last year, 213 AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers helped more than 19,700 Arkansans file their federal and state tax returns. The program is offered at approximately 20 sites in Arkansas, including senior centers, libraries and other convenient locations. AARP Foundation Tax-Aide has grown remarkably since its inaugural team of just four volunteers in 1968.

The program now involves nearly 35,000 volunteers and serves 2.5 million taxpayers annually at some 5,000 sites nationwide with free tax help.

In 2017, taxpayers who

used AARP Foundation Tax-Aide received $1.37 billion in income tax refunds and more than $222 million in Earned Income Tax Credits (EITCs).

In Arkansas, taxpayers who used AARP Foundation TaxAide in 2017 received $13.6 million in income tax refunds and more than $3 million in EITCs. Taxpayers do not need to be a member of AARP or a retiree to use this program.

About AARP Foundation AARP Foundation works to ensure that lowincome older adults have nutritious food, affordable housing, a steady income, and strong and sustaining bonds. We collaborate with individuals and organizations who share our commitment to innovation and our passion for problem-solving.

Supported by vigorous legal advocacy, we create and advance effective solutions that help struggling older adults transform their lives. AARP Foundation is the affiliated charity of AARP.

LITTLE ROCK – Hunting is a way of life, for many it’s passed down from one generation to the next. But what if you don’t have anyone willing or able to be your mentor? The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission is accepting applications from anyone wanting to learn more about hunting and the outdoors to participate in a special hands-on learning experience called the “Beginners Hunt Club.”

Anyone 6 or older is welcome to apply, but special preference will be given to those who have no outdoors experience.

Children must have a parent or guardian attend all events with them. All equipment necessary will be provided; however, participants 16 and older will need to purchase an Arkansas hunting license before the two scheduled hunting trips. Applicants just need to visit www.AGFCHuntClub.co m and fill out the free application to be considered for this great opportunity to get started in the outdoors.

Clifton Jackson, small game program coordinator for the AGFC, says many adults may feel sheepish about not knowing much about the outdoors, but trends indicate fewer people are exposed to hunting every year.

“I want to teach everyone how to hunt, adults as well as kids,” Jackson said. “If you don’t have a child to participate, don’t hesitate to apply, either.

This is about taking that first step and learning something new.”

Participants in the club will be able to take hunting for a “test drive,” as they participate in a dove hunt, squirrel hunt and a wild-game cookout to wrap up their freshman year as a hunter. Jackson says small game hunting

lets new hunters enjoy plenty of opportunities to shoot and allow for good conversation when the action slows.

The course begins with a safety training and introduction to firearms at the AGFC’s newly reopened shooting range in Mayflower.

The dove hunt will take place Oct. 14, on a private field that’s been leased by the AGFC for permit dove hunts during September.

While most outdoors enthusiasts will have moved on from dove hunting, plenty of birds should still be available for program participants to

enjoy a traditional dove hunt that many Arkansans consider the opening to their hunting season.

Two weeks later, members are invited to a special squirrel hunt on some of Arkansas’s best public land.

Jackson’s secondfavorite part about introducing people to hunting is packed into the club’s last event – creating delicious meals from your wild game. Participants will be treated to a variety of treats, all taken from wild game harvested in Arkansas.
