COC presents ‘Welcome to Mena’ signs to A & P Commission

If you have noticed the new signs welcoming visitors to Mena and directing them to the Tourist Information Center located in the KCS Depot, then you have noticed the collaboration and the hard work of the Mena/Polk County Chamber of Commerce and the Mena A & P Commission. The Chamber presented the signs to the A & P Commission Tues., Oct. 2 as a visible, overall marketing plan for the year between the two entities. The depot has already been functioning as an unofficial location for visitor information, but there was nothing to direct travelers to the building. These signs will help with the visibility of the visitor’s center and are essential in promoting the tourism industry in the area. The agreement between the Chamber and the A & P Commission also includes the goal of officially creating an A & P Commission Office in the Depot that will function as a fulltime establishment. Current volunteers and chamber staff will help in accomplishing this goal.

‘Changing of the Colors’ Rally to begin October. 17 The Changing of the Colors Rally is just around the corner in our area.

-Issue 1, from pg. 1 nents to Ballot Issue 1 say that it will. As written, Ballot Issue 1 limits the amount of financial compensation to $500,000 given to families in the event of a wrongful or neglectful death. More or less it puts a price tag on the value of a human life. In essence it protects corporations from having to give the financial compensation that is due for the death of a person. Jerry Cox was the speaker Friday morning in Mena for The Family Council Action Committee against Issue 1. Cox, who is a native of the Dierks/ De Queen area, is on a statewide tour to raise awareness about Ballot Issue 1 for the group. The group is currently on a 30 city, 3,000 mile tour. The Family Council Action Committee is a conservative organization based in Little Rock that operates from a Biblical perspective and

they try to evaluate social, moral and economic issues through that perspective. Cox said that in their organization’s view Ballot Issue 1 is a moral issue because it affects the ability of average citizens to obtain justice when they go to court if they’ve been injured. “We know that the Bible has a lot to say about justice and especially justice for the poor, justice for the orphan, justice for the widow and Issue 1 unfortunately tips those scales of justice against those very people. It tips those scales in favor of the very powerful corporations and we think that is a miscarriage of justice.” Cox said that Ballot Issue 1 will effect how lawsuits are handled in Arkansas and that it will be in favor of powerful corporate interest. “It puts a price tag on human life because it effects the poor, the disabled, stay-at-home moms, little children-it adversely effects them if they are injured by some wreck-

less act by some big corporation, a hospital, a nursing home, a daycare f a c i l i t y, or some b i g company that makes cars or tires,” s a i d Jerry Cox speaks on behalf of The Family Council Action ComCox. Cox con- mittee against Ballot Issue 1. tinued to moment, it was immediately apstate, “This is a huge overreach on pealed to the Arkansas Supreme the part of the legislature and pow- Court and may be brought back to erful interests really to put a price voters.

Cash Mob celebrates first birthday Saturday, October 13 A year ago a new Buy Local effort in downtown Mena began and has been very successful. The effort became known as the Downtown Cash Mob and it has brought several thousands of dollars in revenue to downtown businesses and has provided a monthly opportunity for citizens to meet for fun, fellowship, and of course, shopping. Cash Mob is an effort of the Mena Downtown Partners that meets the second Saturday of each month, frequently with a fun theme. According to Judy Thompson, Mob Coordinator and Downtown Business Liaison, advance registration for the Cash Mob is not required, simply show up and fill out a brief form with contact information. Thompson said there is always a designated gathering place for participants with complimentary refreshments, door prizes and entertainment. A business name is drawn and the group then converges on that particular Downtown Partners’

member with laughter, yelling and balloons for some great shopping. The rules of Cash Mob are very simple. Be committed to spend $20 or more at the selected shop and have fun while meeting new people. The October Cash Mob will be known as the ‘Birthday Mob’. It will gather on Sat., Oct. 13, at 10 a.m. at the Mena Art Gallery to celebrate its first birthday. Birthday cake, fun and door prizes are on the agenda and participants will have the opportunity to view the Art of the Heartland exhibit at the gallery before the name of the shop to be mobbed is drawn. The two main goals of the Cash Mob remain the same. To provide an opportunity for meeting new people in a fun atmosphere and to help the Mena Downtown Partners Buy Local effort. Help Cash Mob celebrate their first birthday this Saturday by bringing a friend to have a great time, plus the opportunity to make new friends during the event.

Brother and sister celebrate at the Vandervoort Fall Festival and enjoy the kick off to fall and many school activities. The Polk County Pulse

Reflections from Faith and History

Like many of you, as a child I learned about Christopher Columbus as the man who sailed the ocean blue in 1492. Much of what has been said and written about him by contemporary critics has been incomplete, fictional, historically and contextually obscured, and even disparaging to his actual identity. To move beyond these distortions and the simplistic myths we've learned about Columbus, balanced literature such as George Grant's "The Last Crusader: The Untold Story of Christopher Columbus" and Robert Royal's "1492 And All

That" are good reads. As we observe the 526th anniversary (October 12th) of his famous discovery, I think it is in order for us to discover more about Columbus the man and some facts which perhaps remain unknown to some Americans, especially in light of modern-day efforts to re-write history and paint Columbus with a broad politically correct brush which also too often trends toward a condemning portrait of Western Civilization. According to early history books, Columbus's real name was Cristobol Colon. So, who was he? The answers will include such descriptions as an adventurer, a sailor, the

lumbus's missionary outreach motive and the Queen's acceptance and endorsement of it. He wrote a book entitled “Book of Prophecies” in which he copied down Scripture related to bringing the Gospel to unknown coastlands. This book has been translated into English from the original Latin and Spanish versions by the late scholar Dr. August Kling. Columbus's writings reveal a spiritual depth about him. Even his signature is encased in a triangular pattern, with the names of God written above the signature, Christopher Ferens (Christ Bearer). From his “Book of Prophecies”, Columbus wrote, "At a very early age I began to sail upon the ocean. For more than forty years, -See Reflections, page 5

discoverer of the New World and he was in fact all of these. However, his writings and the records kept by his contemporaries indicate that Columbus was a pious man and a diligent student of the Bible, a man of unshakable faith who believed he was an instrument in God’s hands. Columbus was convinced that “He [God] bestowed the arts of seamanship upon me in abundance, and has given me what was necessary from [astronomy], geometry, and arithmetic; and has given me adequate inventiveness in my soul.” What we remember is that Columbus's voyage was funded by Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain.

-Reflections, from pg. 5 I have sailed everywhere that people go. I prayed to the most merciful Lord about my heart's great desire, and He gave me the spirit and the intelligence for the task: seafaring, astronomy, geometry, arithmetic, skill in drafting spherical maps and placing correctly the cities, rivers, mountains and ports. It was the Lord who put it into my mind (I could feel His hand upon me) the fact that it would be possible to sail from here to the Indies. All who heard of my project rejected it with laughter, ridiculing me. There is no question that the inspiration was from the Holy Spirit....No one

should fear to undertake any task in the name of our Savior, if it is just and if the intention is purely for His holy service." While it is true that Christopher Columbus was erroneous in some of his decisions and was an ineffective leader as a governor, his proven skills and leadership on the high seas and his determined and focused quest for a westward route to Asia resulted in epic changes in the world; linking Europe to the Americas, opening the exchange of knowledge and ideas among various cultures, and setting the stage for New World colonization, a part of which would become the United States of America.

Polk County DHS changing location The staff of the Polk County Arkansas Department of Human Services (DHS) is moving from their current office at 606 Pine Street in Mena to a new building located at 1802 Highway 71 North in Mena. The move will be complete and the office will be open for business as usual on Wed., Oct. 10 at 8 a.m. and the facility on Pine Street will be closed. The location is the only change that the office will be making. During the transition to the new facility and after the move clients can continue to reach staff members at their current phone number. “We’re definitely excited about having a new building to work in,” said DHS Polk County Administrator Carolyn Strickland. “However, what means even more to us is that the new office will have larger meeting rooms, a better client waiting area, and cool family visitations rooms. DHS offers a wide variety of services. Typically, people come see us when they need help. So it’s important that they come to a building that looks and feels welcoming. We’re ready to serve our clients and welcome them to our new office.” For more information about DHS and the programs we provide, go to https://humanservices.arkansas.gov/.

Bike Safety Tips KNOW YOUR BIKE. This may seem like simple logic, but sometimes that is the best logic to use. Practice

riding your bike under different conditions while planning different scenarios mentally. Take a motorcycle safety course and refresher courses as needed. DRIVE DEFENSIVELY. Driving defensively does not mean aggressively. It means situational awareness. Know what is going on around you. Watch other motorists and be prepared for their actions by allowing yourself plenty of space and time to react. This also allows the driver space and time as well. Watch for turning vehicles that may not see you. If a driver has never ridden a bike, they do not have a full understanding of the safety factors in play. A lot of times a driver simply overlooks a motorcyclist. It is not intentional, it just happens. Watch for other vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blind spots and always signal in advance. BE SEEN. Visibility is key. Make sure to use your headlight at all times and flash your brake light when slowing down or stopping. Ride in the part of the lane where you are the most visible and avoid weaving between lanes. Put reflective strips or decals on your clothing or bike. WEAR SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND DRESS APPROPRIATE. The only thing to protect your body from the road is what you are wearing. Dress in thick clothing such as leather, long sleeves, pants, boots and gloves to help protect your body. Always wear a helmet and eye protection. These are just a few basic motorcycle safety tips needed to enjoy many years of riding motorcycles. Always use common sense and when in doubt, find out.

OLT’s ‘The Miracle Worker’ opens Friday night for first performance Those who have been connected with Ouachita Little Theatre’s production of “The Miracle Worker” have been enthusiastically finalizing the show’s details for its first performance on October 12. Director Brad Storey has been working with some members of his cast for months preparing for the challenging roles, most notably, ten-year-old Jordann Kenyon as Helen Keller and Alexa Night as Annie Sullivan, Helen’s teacher. Other major characters portraying Helen’s family include John Puddington as Captain Keller, Tara Cornelius as Helen’s mother, and Jaimeson Biard as her brother, James.

“The Miracle Worker” is based on the real-life story of a young Helen Keller, blind and deaf since she was 18 months old from an illness. The focus of the play is on the dramatic methods used by Annie Sullivan to teach Helen to communicate and bring order to her chaotic world of darkness and silence. Amazingly, in adulthood, Keller became a celebrated author, lecturer, and social activist of her time. The Mena Lions Club is a major sponsor of this show. Lions Club President Jeremy Jones has stated, “Because of our historical relationship with Helen Keller when she spoke at the Lions Club Convention in 1925, we were inspired

to join with OLT to raise awareness for ways to meet the needs of the blind in our own community.” The Mena chapter plans to utilize their involvement with “The Miracle Worker” to educate theater goers on ways to help the local blind community. Saturday, October 20th is “Lions Club Night” at the OLT and local members will be on hand to run the concessions stand and talk to theater patrons about the Lions’ services to our community. There will be a collection box located in the theater lobby for audience members to donate used glasses for recycling during the entire run of “The Miracle Worker.”

This award-winning play is more than just entertainment. It is an opportunity to learn, as well as teach your children, about the physical challenges many people face. It gives us a chance to celebrate teachers, disabled learners, and their champions of hope. Don’t miss your chance to see “The Miracle Worker” playing two weekends, Fridays – Mondays on October 12-15 and 19-22. All performances are at 7:30 p.m. except for Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m. Advance reserved seating is available now at the OLT office, 610 Mena Street, weekdays from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Nutrition... What diet will allow you to lose weight AND KEEP IT OFF? More and more often I talk to folks who are on a certain “diet.” As anyone who has ever done some serious calorie cutting or Weightwatchers knows, weight can be lost and then regained with great ease. The big question is: how can you keep the weight off permanently? Over the next few weeks my column will focus on the currently popular “diets” like Paleo, Keto, and Mediterranean. I will describe each one, highlight the pro’s and con’s, and clarify how this diet might be particularly helpful for some. My goal is to help you decide which diet will allow you to lose the weight AND keep it off. Today the discussion is the standard American diet (SAD), the default diet of the vast majority of Americans today. This diet is both high in carbohydrate and fat. This is not a planned diet; nobody goes down a list and purposely selects a SAD diet. It just happens because we have eaten it all our lives and our taste buds like it a lot. So here’s the deal. Carbohydrate (sugar) and fat are the sources of

It is essentially impossible to make a sweet anything without both flour (high carb starch), sugar (high carb) and fat in the crust (high fat); you have a high carb/high fat food. Ice cream is carbohydrate (sugar) and fat. Fried food inevitably seems to need a batter, flour or cornmeal, (high carb starch) and then fry it up in oil. The oil gets absorbed and voila’, high fat.

A diet that is a combination of high carb (starch or plain old sugar) and high fat is going to be a major overload of energy and just guaranteed to put on and keep putting on the weight. Sugar in any form digests quickly in your body, gets delivered to your cells quickly, and your brain suggests (firmly) that you have used up available energy in your blood and should eat again. This is called “hunger.” It’s so hard to ignore your brain. You don’t get hungry based on the number of calories eaten. You get hungry because the energy -SEE NUTRITION, CONTINUED PAGE 17

-Nutrition, from pg. 15 consumed from sugar has been used up and appetite rears its ugly head. The SAD diet often consists of three meals plus innumerable snacks (or perpetual snacking all day.) The inevitable excess energy consumed (both in sugar and fat) will be stored somewhere in body fat, over and over again. That is the weight you want to get rid of and keep off. Whole vegetables and fruits are natural sources of small amounts of carbohydrates, minimal fat, and a plethora of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients you can’t do without. On the other hand, processed foods that are made primarily of starch (wheat, corn, soy, and other grains as well as root vegetables like potatoes) are extremely high in carbohydrates (sugar), tasteless on their own until they are augmented with fat or even more sugar, and nutrient deficient.

best option for good health. Weight can be lost and managed on the SAD diet by tightly controlling calories. But this is difficult to do (particularly long term) because, regardless of calories, hunger soon returns. Hunger is impossible to ignore. You might exercise enough will power to get past it part of the time but you won’t ignore it.
