$1-million-dollar bond set for Mitchell Early voting to begin statewide Monday Bond was set at $1-million-dollars for 58-year-old John Leonard Mitchell of Hatfield Friday in Polk County District Court.

Mitchell is charged with a felony charge of first degree murder in the death of 60-year-old Don Earl Smith of Hatfield.

Mitchell has also been charged with possession of a firearm by a certain person, also a felony.

Mitchell’s arrest came last Wednesday afternoon after an investigation conducted by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and the Arkansas State Police.

According to the press release issued by Polk County Sheriff Scott Sawyer, the office received a report of a JOHN LEONARD MITCHELL dead body a little before noon Wednesday.

According to the press release, the report gave information that a body was found near Polk Road 38 along the Mountain Fork River west of Hatfield.

Deputies with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office responded to the report and located Smith’s body lying in the rocks along the river.

During the subsequent investigation by the Sheriff’s Office and the State Police evidence was gathered that led to Mitchell’s arrest.

Mitchell is currently in custody at the Polk County Detention Center. He appeared before Polk County District Judge Danny Thrailkill to have his bond set and he will be appearing in Polk County Circuit Court at a later date.

Early voting for the upcoming November election begins statewide on October 22.

Individuals may call their county clerk and inquire about registration status and polling locations may be checked online at www.voterview. org.

In most counties, early voting is conducted at the county clerk’s office. In -See Voting, pg. 8

The beauty of fall in the Ouachita Mountains...

Heather Grabin/News Director I have long admired the beauty of the Ouachita Mountains and the areas that surround Mena. I’ve spent several church camp trips at Cherry Hill Church Camp as a preteen.

The mist rising off the mountains as the sun rose is one of the first moments that I was impressed by the sheer majesty of nature. I’m excited to have been in Mena and at The Pulse for almost a whole month now. I know the area a little better now and I am becoming more comfortable with living in “the wilderness”. In the few moments that I am not busy, I pause to look at all the changes around me on a daily basis. It’s like watching a living painting on a canvas as the scenes are constantly changing. I am blessed to be able to enjoy this area of Arkansas.

Arkansas Scholarship Lottery approached a combined $1-million Fri. The Arkansas Scholarship Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots were approaching a combined $1 million dollars.

The Mega Millions jackpot for this past Friday's drawing was $548 million, which is the third largest jackpot in Mega Millions history.

The Powerball jackpot was at $314 million.

Lottery Director Bishop Woosley said these jackpots are good for the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery because sales go increase.

“The Mega Millions jackpot is the third highest it’s ever been, Powerball obviously, I think hit 1.6 billion sometime back in 2015 so it’s got a way to go, but you do not very often see both of them this high at the same time. That’s very unusual. It’s good for us obviously because sales pick up quite a bit and we hope either we get a winner in Arkansas or they roll for a little while,” said Woosley.

According to Woosley a Mega Millions player won $177 million dollars last April, and that there are also several new instant win games for people to play as well.

“We’ve got a nice new set of games out right now. We’ve got a

great $5 ticket, Black and Gold, and then we have our third generation of our big ticket. More or less, it’s an oversized ticket. They just came out last week and are doing well and obviously there are 20 to 30 instant games to choice from. Anyone who wants a 1 or a 2 or a 3, a 5, a 10, a 20 can go out and buy a ticket of their choice, but we’ve got some nice games out there right now,” said Woosley.

Lottery retailers can be found by visiting the website, MyArkansasLottery.com or look for the street talker displays. “Just about every convenience store or grocery store here in Arkansas sells them.

We have something we call Street Talker, and it’s a sign that’s out front that says ‘Play Here’ so anytime you are driving by a c-store or something like that you’ll generally see that out front and you’ll know that that’s an Arkansas retailer,” said Woosley.

The Lottery has contributed over $781 million to fund more than 300,000 college scholarships according to Woosley. He said proceeds for scholarships increase when sales increase due to large jackpots. “Before we existed there

was about 20-million a year in general revenue that went towards scholarships and that 85 or 90 we raise a year goes right on top of that so it’s had a pretty huge impact on the state,” said Woosley.

To apply for a Lottery Scholarship, visit the Arkansas Department of Higher Education website. “The easiest way to apply is to go to the Arkansas Department of Higher Eds website, it’s adeg.edu. There’s a link on there that’s for the Arkansas Academic Challenge Scholarship, otherwise known as the Lot-

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month Possible symptoms of breast cancer

Every woman should know her own body and when it changes. And while aging changes our bodies it is progressive, not instant. Any odd or sudden changes in your body should be reported to a medical professional. Risk factors to breast cancer are there, but in at least 75% of women with diagnosed breast cancer there were no symptoms at all. Just abnormal cells that were noted in a routine exam.

However, the following changes in your body should be noted and discussed with your doctor.

-A sudden change in the appearance of the breast, possible new dimples developing on the skin; or breast skin becomes swollen and/or inflamed. A red appearance to the skin and/or feeling hot to the touch.

-A sudden change in breast size.

-A change in shape of only one breast.

-Lumps in the breast.

-Pain in breast or nipple.

-A nipple that suddenly turns inward.

-Discharge from the breast that is not caused by ordinary lactation.

-Swelling under the arm.

If you experience any of these symptoms, don’t panic. A symptom is not a concrete diagnosis. Make an appointment with your healthcare provider and get a thorough examination. As always, early detection and treatment of breast cancer tips the odds a bit in your favor for a full recovery.

Reflections from Faith and History The Louisiana Purchase

By Jeff Olson

Once upon a time there was a city which lay near the mouth of the Mississippi River. It was founded in 1718 by Jean Baptiste le Moyne, Sier de Bienville.

Bienville was governor of the French colony of Louisiana and he named New Orleans after Philippe, Duke of Orleans who ruled France for King Louis XV. In 1762, King Louis gave Louisiana to his cousin, King Charles III of Spain.

"Pinckney's Treaty," signed with Spain in 1795, gave American merchants rights to navigate the entire Mississippi River

OF A

and the "right of deposit" which allowed them to store goods shipped for export, duty-free, in New Orleans.

Spain revoked this treaty in 1798, causing a strong reaction among Americans who shipped all their surplus produce by boat down rivers which flowed into the Gulf of Mexico.

In President Thomas Jefferson's words, "It is New Orleans, through which three-eighths of our territory must pass to market."

In 1800, Jefferson received word that Spain planned to transfer part of its American colonies to France. However, in 1801 the

right of deposit was restored but for how long was uncertain since Spain continued to govern the territory.

Therefore, President Jefferson preemptively sent Robert Livingston to France to persuade the French government to transfer the colonies to the United States. In 1802, Jefferson's fears were realized when the Spanish governor suspended the right of deposit for Americans in New Orleans.

To avoid a possible war with France, President Jefferson sent James Monroe to Paris in April 1802 to negotiate a settlement.

At this time, Napoleon Bonaparte's military activities and intentions in North America remained ambitious and threatened America's security.

Weekly Publication In late 1802, Spain finally transferred Louisiana to France but it had no intention of ceding Florida to France, which would leave Louisiana indefensible.

Therefore, in early 1803 Jefferson authorized the American envoys to offer France nine million dollars for New Orleans and the Floridas.

The timing couldn't have been better for the U.S. because Napoleon's priorities had changed, as he needed money to finance a military force in Santo Domingo and a possible war with Britain. These circumstances would change the course of American and world history.

In April 1803, Napoleon's Treasury Minister offered Livingston not just New Orleans but the entire Louisiana Territory at a price of fifteen million dollars.

This deal was not just unexpected, but also too good to refuse. The Louisiana Purchase Treaty was signed on April 30, 1803 after which Livingston stated "We have lived long, but this is the noblest work of our whole lives...From this day the United States take their place among the powers of the first rank."

The treaty was ratified by the U.S. Sen-See History, pg. 8 ate two

Safety tips for vehicles when sharing highway with motorcyclists HEATHER GRABIN/NEWS DIRECTOR

The Christian Motorcyclists Association’s (CMA) “Changing of the Colors” Rally will be in full swing beginning Wednesday and many visitors will travel to the area, some will be familiar with the terrain and some will not.

No matter the situation, everyone’s safety is always of the utmost importance.

The following are some tips for vehicles when sharing the road with motorcycles.

-BE EXTRA OBSERVANT. Motorcycles sometimes become hidden in a vehicle’s blind spots simply because it is smaller than

anything else on the road. Because of it’s size, a motorcycle may be hidden or blend in with the surroundings making it hard for a driver to see.

Size also effects how close or far away a motorcycle appears which makes it hard to judge a motorcycle’s speed.

When you see a motorcycle always react as if it is closer than it appears.

-USE DEFENSIVE DRIVING SKILLS. A motorcycle may not always use their brakes to slow down. Sometimes they downshift or let off of the throttle and there is no visible warning that they are changing speed.

Stay a safe distance behind the

bike and try to predict what the rider will do at intersections.

As with any vehicle, be sure about turn signals. Don’t just assume because a blinker is flashing that the motorcycle is making the turn. The blinker may have remained on after a turn and the rider is simply not aware.

-UNDERSTAND HOW A RIDER HANDLES THEIR MOTORCYCLE. Because a motorcycle is smaller it is easier to maneuver. There are many factors that cause riders to change their positions in a lane.

A key reason is to help other vehicles to see them, but they also change positions in a lane depending upon the road surface, weather

factors such as rain, wind or standing puddles of water and to avoid debris on the road that could harm them or their bike.

When a bike is moving within a lane it is generally not to show off or to ride beside a vehicle, it is for everyone’s safety.

‘Changing of the Colors’ Rally begins Wednesday Heather Grabin News Editor The 2018 “Changing of the Colors” Rally kicks off Wednesday on Iron Mountain in Hatfield.

The rally has become a huge annual event hosted by the Christian Motorcycle Association (CMA). It attracts visitors from all over the world to come to the area to admire the breathtaking beauty of nature painting the countryside a vivid fall palette of colors, to worship God, attend educational seminars on various topics, plan for the future and enjoy the fellowship of other like-minded individuals.

CMA began as a simple vision to spread the word of God to motorcyclists. As the group began pursuing this mission it evolved to include not only their initial vision, but also many other purposes that have made a global impact in spreading the Gospel.

The “Changing of the Colors” Rally begins this Wed., Oct. 17 at 11:30 a.m. with “Fast Lane Discussion” over lunch at the Limetree Restaurant in Mena. Every day will be filled with events through Sun.,

-RESPECT THE RIDER. See the motorcycle and see a person. It is not simply a piece of metal driving on the highway with you.

The rider is someone’s loved one, and larger vehicles should always give extra thought to the motorcyclist.

A hasty mistake or miscalculation can take the life of the motorcycle driver, rider, and/or the people traveling in the vehicle.

Over 270 runners compete in the Mena-Acorn Lions Club Cross Country Meet Over 270 runners participated at the Mena-Acorn Lions Club Cross Country Meet on Oct. 9 at the Lions Club Disc Golf Course.

It was an outstanding event that not only included competition of teams, but great individual efforts were made and personal victories were achieved.

The spectators cheered all runners enthusiastically providing a great example of how positive and successful an event can be when all involved work for the benefit of the Polk County School District’s student athletes.

Coach Willsey said, “Coach Peters and I really can not emphasize enough how much time, effort was put in by Mr. Morris Boydstun and Mr. Jerod McCormick. They real-

ly stepped up and made this thing go well. They spent weekends and afternoons making the Lions Club course and spectator area looking awesome. And with the support of the rest of the UARM staff and sponsors to make it a great event.

We are looking forward to future meets. ” The meet was made possible by a collaborative effort by the Cross Country Teams of Mena-Acorn and the Bucks of UA Rich Mountain. The UA at Rich Mountain XC Team’s partnership helped to make the meet a reality and they also provided the coach packets.

The meet was enhanced by the generous support of several in the community. The Crossing Church provided sound equipment and the

A special thanks goes to Mena T’s for providing all of the medals and plaques and Coach Jones from Nashville.

The race was lead by the front running of Mena’s Alex Harper, closely followed by her teammates Kiera Hall, and Jancy Harris. Alex powered her way to an impressive win in the time of 10:35.3.

There was also an interesting race within the race for the team title, in that the 4-A Schools were also running for Jr. Conference Titles, along with the Lions Club Meet.

Mena and DeQueen were neck and neck however, DeQueen was able to win the Lions Club Title.

Mena placed second and Acorn came in fourth with Cossatot River placing seventh.

SR. GIRLS and SR. BOYS: Weather conditions caused the Sr. Boys and Sr. Girls 5i to run in combined formation with results divided by the timing system.

As the temperature dropped and the rain fell the race became even more competitive and interesting.

One of the great things about the Lions course is that it is very fan friendly. It allows the fans to be close to the runners and give their encouragement for the competitors.

SR. BOYS RACE: The top runners of Acorn, Mena and DeQueen were all fighting out for the top individual win, with the three teams dominating the front running.

Sr. Hector Hernandez of De Queen edged out Acorn’s Justice Neufeld and Mena’s Robert MacIntyre and Logan Myers to be Over All Champion.

Neufeld came in third overall with Myers placing fourth and MacIntyre placing fifth.

De Queen won the team title with Acorn edging out Mena for Runner up. Cossatot River placed sixth.

Understanding breast cancer and the options available Heather Grabin News Director

Every year we reserve the month of October for breast cancer awareness, yet every year over 40,000 women in the United States alone are expected to die from the disease.

Over 260,000 women are expected to be diagnosed with a new case of invasive breast cancer this year and over 60,000 women are expected to be diagnosed with a new case of non-invasive breast cancer.

It is estimated that 1 in 8 American women will develop invasive breast cancer during her lifetime.

The statistics go on and on for documented cases of breast cancer in American women and there is no clear answer as to why. Men are also susceptible to the disease as well, but in the big picture females are diagnosed with breast cancer on a consistent basis.

The only other form of cancer that is diagnosed in women on a daily basis is skin cancer, and most skin cancer can be preventable.

Hopefully, future generations will have less skin cancer diagnosed

because of education and precaution, however, how do you prevent breast cancer? There is no real answer to this question.

After years of studies, clinical trials and the attention shed on breast cancer from the medical field and the nation as a whole, no simple answer exists, and more often than not, the disease shows no symptoms.

About 75% of women diagnosed with breast cancer have no single identifiable factor that would indicate the probability of them developing the disease, and only 5-10% of breast cancer diagnosed is thought to be inherited.

Statistics are ever changing with research. The numbers go up and

down and place women into categorical groups.

And while the numbers will change with research, especially now that the risks of environmental factors and toxins are being studied along with genetics and lifestyle, but the overall bottom line is that every woman, of every race, every ethnicity, every age and every social status has to make her own decisions about educating herself, knowing her body and deciding when the time is to take defensive measures against fighting this generally silent killer, and when to speak up-even if a doctor or an insurance company urges her not to.

So many factors come into play

anytime the word cancer is mentioned to a person and the language used by those in the medical field is not always clear-especially when the “c” word comes up during an exam.

It is an emotional word that strikes fear in most. Nobody wants cancer, nobody wants to think of the effects the disease will have on their bodies, their life, their family; but in order to attempt defeating the disease a person must understand the base facts of the disease.

To simplify, the term cancer means that cells in your body have started to grow abnormally and with great speed. Breast cancer -See Understanding, pg. 22

-Understanding, from pg. 21 begins when these abnormal cells group into a tumor in the milk ducts or lobules of the breast.

When the cancer remains in this area of the breast it is defined as in situ; when the cells begin to grow into normal breast tissue it is invasive.

If the abnormal cells are not cancerous they are benign. If the cells are cancerous they are malignant.

Different factors cause these abnormal cells to develop and grow.

Hormones and proteins that initially aid our body in functioning can be used as weapons against our body by the mutated cells.

One of the essential elements to winning the war against breast cancer is finding it when it is small and

discussing a realistic plan of action with your doctor.

If a biopsy is necessary, the tissue that is removed has all kinds of tests ran on it to see what the best treatment for the highest chance for survival are.

The tests will aid the doctor in deciding whether treatment means surgery alone or combined with radiation treatment, if it can be a simple procedure to just remove the mass or if the lymph nodes have been affected and must be removed as well, whether a mastectomy and possible reconstructive surgery is needed or if a woman needs systemic treatments.

Systemic treatments utilize drugs or hormones to travel throughout a persons body in their bloodstream in an effort to kill any cancerous

cells that spread from the breast tissue. Chemotherapy and hormone therapy are examples of systemic treatments.

Specific types of cancer cells can be treated through targeted therapy. Women diagnosed with cancers such as HER2 positive cancer are given this treatment. During targeted therapy specific abnormal cells are removed while healthy cells are allowed to live.

Some opinions in the medical field are that mammograms lead to overdiagnosing by showing suspicious finds that are false positives; by diagnosing cancer that will not affect the health of a woman and will never require treatment, or by diagnosing cancer that immediate treatment of the disease won’t change the end result of the disease.

Overdiagnosing can completely change a woman’s life. It can cause unnecessary mental and physical stress due to the choices she is forced to make based on the diagnosis and the treatment options available, especially when it comes to finding out what is allotted to her through the health care system and what her insurance will actually allow as treatment.

However, even if it can be

deemed overdiagnosing, early detection remains the key to surviving breast cancer.

The more time given to plan could actually save a life-even if there was some undue stress factors involved.

Mammograms are not always the best test and different rules apply to different cases. Both tumors and dense tissue appear the same in a mammogram screening.

Women who have dense breast tissue rather than fatty tissue, women who are at high risk for breast cancer and women with a lump or questionable area in their breasts are generally referred for a 3-D mammogram or molecular breast imaging.

During a 3-D mammogram multiple pictures of the breasts are taking through x-ray from many angles without the traditional compression and squeezing of the breast tissue in a mammogram.

Molecular breast imaging is even more advanced and is possible by injecting a radioactive tracer through a vein to detect the cancer.

If the breast tissue contains cancerous cells a higher concentration of the tracer is absorbed and the cancer is more visible.

-Understanding, from pg. 22 A scanner is used to detect any areas with high absorption levels of the tracer and the cancer is readily identified.

Even with all the advancements in medical care these two tests remain quite expensive and are not available to all women.

Though the procedures could save a life and prevent unnecessary biopsies, these tests are either denied them by their insurance company or they are simply not available in the hospitals and clinics where they live.

Women with cause for genetic concern due to a close blood relative dying of breast cancer or a history of genetic mutations can opt to meet with a genetic counselor and pursue blood tests that will reveal how high risk they actually are for the disease and what their future health plans should be.

The vast amount of information that researchers have provided about breast cancer-the types, the treatments, the options a woman has, and her overall survival rate are astounding.

patient, but just because it should and certainly does cause these things at times doesn’t mean it will always have to.

Hopefully in the future the definition and implications of the word cancer won’t be so serious and it will be an easily treated disease where every woman diagnosed is given same chance at treatment.

When that day comes all the efforts and sacrifices of many will be seen and positive statistics will be given to show the number of women who lived to defeat this killer, and what kind of life-saving impact setting the month of October aside for breast cancer awareness has made throughout the country and the medical profession.

Now located on Highway 71 North The staff of the Polk County Arkansas Department of Human Services (DHS) has moved from their office located at 606 Pine Street in Mena to a new building located at 1802 Highway 71 North in Mena.

The move was complete and the office opened for business as usual on Wed., Oct. 10 at 8 a.m. and the facility on Pine Street 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.”

NOVEMBER GENERAL ELECTION BALLOT ISSUES; EARLY VOTING BEGINS OCT. 22ND

Issue 1: Limiting Attorney Fees, Restricting Punitive Damages, and Capping Noneconomic Damages in Lawsuits, and Letting the State Legislature Make Rules About Pleading, Practice, and Procedure for All Courts.

Issue 1 is a proposed amendment to the Arkansas Constitution. In 2017 the Arkansas Legislature referred Issue 1 to the people for a vote. If passed it will change how all injury lawsuits are handled in Arkansas. Issue 1 limits attorney contingency fees in lawsuits to one-third of the total amount of money the injured person receives; the Arkansas Legislature may change this limit by a two-thirds vote of the Arkansas House and Senate. Issue 1 also restricts punitive damages to $500,000 or three times the total amount awarded in the lawsuit—whichever is higher—unless the injury was deliberate or willful; the Arkansas Legislature may increase this amount by a two-thirds vote of the Arkansas House and Senate. Issue 1 restricts noneconomic damages in cases of injury or death to no more than $500,000; the Arkansas Legislature can raise this limit upon a two-thirds vote of the Arkansas House and Senate, and the state will be required to adjust the limit for inflation or deflation based on the Consumer Price Index. Issue 1 lets the Arkansas Legislature make rules of pleading, practice, and procedure for all courts in Arkansas upon a three-fifths vote (60 votes in the Arkansas House and 21 votes in the Arkansas Senate).

Giving the legislature power over rules of pleading, practice, and procedure means lawmakers would be able to make rules about the types of evidence that can or cannot be used in court, and the legislature would be able to require cases to pass through mediation or through other channels before going to trial; the Arkansas Legislature would have this power over all courts in Arkansas—not just courts dealing with personal-injury lawsuits. Issue 1 does not limit economic damages for things like medical bills or lost wages.

Issue 2: Requiring Voters to Show Photo ID When Voting.

Issue 2 is a proposed amendment to the Arkansas Constitution. In 2017 the Arkansas Legislature referred Issue 2 to the people for a vote. Issue 2 adds a provision to the Arkansas Constitution saying a voter must present a valid photo identification when casting a vote. It also says the State of Arkansas must issue a free photo ID to eligible voters who lack a photo identification.

Any voter voting by absentee ballot would be required to enclose a copy of a valid photo ID with the ballot. Issue 2 lets the Arkansas Legislature decide which forms of photo identification would be acceptable in order to vote, and it says that voters who lack a photo ID on Election Day would be allowed to vote using a provisional ballot; provisional ballots would be counted only if the voter later certifies the ballot in a manner prescribed by the Arkansas Legislature. Even though Issue 2 is a constitutional amendment, it gives the Arkansas Legislature the power to add exceptions to the requirements that voters present a valid photo ID when voting or enclose a copy of a valid photo ID when mailing an absentee ballot.

Issue 3: Instituting Shorter Term Limits for State Legislators.

Issue 3 is a proposed constitutional amendment enacting term limits for state legislators. The Secretary of State certified Issue 3 for the ballot after enough registered voters signed petitions to have the amendment brought before Arkansas’ voters. Issue 3 would limit state representatives to no more than three terms in the Arkansas House of Representatives for a total of six years; it limits state senators to no more than two terms in the Arkansas Senate for a total of eight years. Additionally, Issue 3 says no one may serve more than 10 years total in the Arkansas House and Senate. In practice this means a state legislator could serve a maximum of three two-year terms in the Arkansas House and then serve one four-year term in the Arkansas Senate for a total of 10 years. A state legislator

also could serve two four-year terms in the Arkansas Senate followed by one two-year term in the Arkansas House for a total of 10 years. Issue 3 also prevents the Arkansas Legislature from referring constitutional amendments changing legislators’ term limits; any changes to term limits must be made by collecting petition signatures from registered voters via the initiative and referendum process.

Issue 4: Authorizing Four Casinos in Arkansas.

Issue 4 is a proposed constitutional amendment authorizing four casinos in Arkansas: one in Garland County; one in Crittenden County; one in Jefferson County; and one in Pope County.

The Secretary of State certified Issue 4 for the ballot after enough registered voters signed petitions to have the amendment brought before Arkansas’ voters. Under Issue 4, the Arkansas Racing Commission would be respon-

sible for licensing and overseeing casinos. Under Issue 4, the Racing Commission automatically would award casino licenses to the horse and greyhound racetracks in Garland County and Crittenden County. The casinos in Jefferson and Pope Counties would be operated by companies who have a successful record operating casinos elsewhere. Issue 4 taxes casino revenue; most of the tax revenue would go to the Arkansas Legislature and the Racing Commission for purses at the race tracks; the rest would go to the local city or county in which the casino is located. Issue 4 lets casinos operate 24 hours per day, 365 days per year; it lets casinos sell or give away alcohol any time the casino is in operation, regardless of whether or not the casino is in a dry county; and it lets the casinos offer virtually any form of

Issue 5: Raising the Minimum Wage to $11 by 2021.

Issue 5 is a proposed initiated act to raise Arkansas’ minimum wage. The Secretary of State certified Issue 5 for the ballot after enough registered voters signed petitions to have the proposal brought before Arkansas’ voters.

Issue 5 would raise Arkansas’ minimum wage from $8.50 per hour to $9.25 per hour on January 1, 2019, and then to

$10 per hour by January 1, 2020, and finally to $11 per hour on January 1, 2021. Issue 5 would not amend the Arkansas Constitution; instead it is an initiated act that writes a new provision into Arkansas’ state minimum wage law. Because Issue 5 is an initiated act, the Arkansas Legislature can amend Issue 5 upon a two-third vote of the Arkansas House and Arkansas Senate.
