he City of Mena has joined five other counties and cities in an interlocal agreement concerning the Sebastian County Regional Crisis Stabilization Unit in Fort Smith. Mena City Mayor George McKee said the Mena City Council approved the resolution unanimously at last week’s meeting. The agreement allows people with mental issues to be taken to the unit instead of jail. Mayor McKee sighted the agreement as “a good deal to help people that need it.” Other counties participating in the program are Sebastian, Crawford, Franklin, Logan and -See Council, continued page 4

“First Monday in October” N ext week is the ﬁrst Monday in October, the day that the U.S. Supreme Court convenes following its summer recess. I would like to take this occasion to brieﬂy address the role of judges, from the perspectives and parallels of both the Bible and American history. Isaiah 33:22 states, “For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us.” This verse is not only a personal testimony and teaching of Isaiah, but it succinctly summarizes an eternal truth about the sovereignty and wisdom of God in the personal and civic affairs of man. This verse also represents a major part of the Biblical foundation for America’s civil government as manifested in the separation of powers through the judicial, legislative and executive branches.

Our nation’s Founders implemented this design for government because they understood the fallen nature and depravity of man (Jeremiah 17:9), and that for power and authority to reside in any one person or small group of persons would invite corruption and tyranny. Thus, a system of checks and balances was built into America’s government to minimize the danger of any one branch dominating the others (Federalist No.51). God’s design was and still is for those who serve in government leadership capacities do so as extensions of His authority (Romans 13:1-7). This was truer for the judges God appointed than for anyone else in leadership because they represented His moral authority as well as His laws (II Chronicles 19).

It is especially true for those judges in our federal government since they serve by appointment rather than as elected servants. In Exodus 18:21, God set in place principles for a framework of government and its leaders, which included the role of judges, their qualiﬁcations, and the decentralization and distribution of their authority. Since God himself was a judge, He knew how important this role was and he expected only those to be chosen who: loved, respected and worshipped Him (Psalm 2:10-11), who were honest, who knew His laws and who would be accountable to Him (Ezra 7:25-26). As a matter of fact, judges were so important that in His great mercy He raised them up to deliver the people of Israel from disobedience and rebellion (Judges 2:16-18) through seven apostasies over about a 350 year period of their history. These judges were not ruling

moral and political life of the nation (Judges 19). Does this ring with any familiarity? It should because the history of the Church, the biography of many Christians, and the history of America has often paralleled this pattern. The choice Israel made of personal disobedience and having no government accountable to God proved to be a dark period of her history. Although the Judges served out God’s purpose, this was not according to His original plan and design.

Israel had no capitol and no ﬁxed government then, so each tribe acted independently which made her a nation of instability, anarchy and confusion for much of those years.

-Reﬂections, from pg. 2 the political rights of the Constitution» (Federalist No.78)? Are our judges functioning in their service according to the Founders original plan and design? Are they persons who uphold our constitution and subscribe to the rule of law? Is their compass the original intent of the Constitution and the jurisprudence and precedents of their early predecessors? With a vigilant citizenry and properly functioning legislative branch, they should be held accountable to the provisions of our Constitution as well as the consequences for failing to “hold their ofﬁces during good behavior” (Article III, Section 1). What were the thoughts of some of our forefathers? James Madison, considered the “Father of the Constitution,” said, “Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted bastardized form of illegitimate government.” As Thomas Jefferson wrote, “The Constitution is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please.” The result has been the dismantling of the federalism built into the Constitution through the shift of state autonomy and sovereignty to more

and more federal control. Chief Justice John Marshall stated, “The Constitution is not a panacea for every blot upon the public welfare, nor should this Court, ordained as a judicial body, be thought of as a general haven for reform movements.” And, Justice Felix Frankfurter said, “As a member of this court, I am not justiﬁed in writing my private notions of policy into the Constitution, no matter how deeply I may cherish them or how mischievous I may deem their disregard.” What is actually in question is whether we are a nation under the rule of law or under the rule of men? The great theologian Thomas Aquinas related the secular concept of natural law to the biblical concept of divine law. Both refer to an objective standard of morality and justice against which human laws are measured. Without this understanding that law should be based on unchanging principles of truth and justice, law then becomes nothing more than a tool of government to create and enforce social policies. As with the nation of Israel during the period of the Judges, America is (in a sense) also in a period of judges; a period of disobedience and of confusion in her moral, religious and political life. However, unlike in Israel then, God has not raised up judges to deliver

us. Rather, He has allowed us to be delivered by judges raised up and given free reign out of our own ignorance, apathy and complacency. It may very well be that, like Israel, we will turn to God only when we’ve reached rock bottom in our spiritual bankruptcy and moral decadence. In Isaiah 1:26, God expressed a desire to restore the nation of Judah of whom her judges were a vital key. Today, He has the same desire to restore America, but He still requires

repentance (II Chronicles 7:14). In Hosea 4:6, we are reminded, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge....since you have forgotten the law of your God.” Carved above the main entrance of the Supreme Court building in our nation’s capitol are the words EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW. May we be reminded of, always remember, and hold in the highest esteem and consideration the Source of that LAW.

The council also passed a resolution allowing city officials to execute a grant agreement in the amount of $1,098,529 with the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration. According to Mayor McKee, the grant will be at no cost to the city because it is a 100-percent grant instead of a cash-match grant. The council approved the re-appointment of both Paula Brotherton and Leon Philpot to the Mena Hospital Commission for five year terms; and appointed Gar Eisele to the Mena A & P Commission. Eisele will fill the unexpired term of Rodney Rowland. Other resolutions passed during the meeting were: -An ordinance permitting City

Early voting to begin for November general election Early voting for the upcoming

November election begins statewide on October 22. Citizens are encouraged to begin making plans to vote now. The first step is to make sure you are registered. If you are not already a registered voter, you have until Tuesday, October 9 to mail in your voter registration form. To register in Arkansas, you must fill out a paper Voter Registration Application. Applications may be found at the following locations: your local county clerk’s office, your local Revenue or DMV office, public libraries, disability

agencies, military recruitment offices and The Arkansas Secretary of State Elections Division may be reached at 800-48`2-1127. A link to download a registration application has been posted on the Arkansas House of Representatives website www.arkansashouse.org . Never assume you are registered to vote until you have received your voter registration card from the county clerk. Individuals may call their county clerk and inquire about application or 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 counties with off-site early voting, local newspapers will publish the designated sites. During a preferential primary or a general election, early voting is available between the hours of 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, ending at 5 p.m. on the Monday before the election. Offsite early voting hours may vary by county; watch local newspapers or contact the county clerk for information. If your name or address has changed, information may be up-

dated at the early voting site. Voter turnout during a mid-term election is typically much lower than during a presidential election year. However, the results of midterm elections have an enormous impact on the state. On this ballot, Arkansans will decide the outcome for the office of the governor, attorney general, and state representative just to name a few. Depending on the outcome of ongoing legal challenges, there could be up to 5 ballot issues before voters. A link to a guide explaining the ballot issues in detail can be found at www.arkansashouse.org.

Ballot initiatives explained John Maddox, Representative for District 20, spoke at the September meeting of the Lions’ Club. Representative Maddox explained the ballot issues that will be on this year’s general election ballot to the club. Arkansas Issue 2 is the Voter ID Amendment and will require voters to present a valid photo ID to vote in person. A yes vote will support the requirement for individuals to present their ID and a no vote will oppose it. Arkansas Issue 3 is the State Legislative Term Limit Initiative. The initiative proposes to set term limits for members of the Arkansas House of Representatives and for the Arkansas Senate. Representatives will be limited to six year terms and Senators will be limited to eight year terms if the Initiative passes. Arkansas Issue 5 is the Minimum Wage Increase Initiative. A yes vote on this issue will support raising the minimum wage in Arkansas to $11 an hour by 2021. Representative Maddox ex-

pressed his concern about this initiative and how it will effect small businesses. He also said that voters should consider neighboring states minimum wage and how an increase of wages in Arkansas could hurt economic development in the state. By voting yes, citizens will approve the minimum wage increase and a no vote will stop the planned initiative. Voting yes on Arkansas Issue 4 will authorize one casino in each of the following counties: Crittenden, Garland, Pope and Jefferson counties. A no vote would of course oppose the initiative. The ballot initiative would really only authorize gambling in three counties because Garland County already has Oaklawn Racing and Gaming in Hot Springs. The complex has live horse races during the season and year-round access to gaming machines including slot-machines, electronic poker and blackjack.

Healthy Connections, Inc. receives federal funding

Healthy Connections, Inc. of Mena is receiving $285,000 in federal funding to aid the ﬁght against substance abuse and to help provide better mental health treatment to citizens. U.S. Senators John Boozman and Tom Cotton along with U.S. Repre-

sentatives Rick Crawford, French Hill, Steve Womack and Bruce Westerman announced that the state of Arkansas is the recipient of nearly $3 million to be used by Community Health Centers with the purpose of advancing substance abuse and mental health

treatment. The funds were awarded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through its Expanding Access to Quality Substance Use Disorder and Mental Health Services program.

NRA endorsement given to Governor Hutchinson Governor Asa Hutchinson has received the NRA’s endorsement in the 2018 race for Governor due to his strong record of support for the 2nd Amendment. Chris Cox, the NRA Institute for Legislative Action’s executive director, said in the endorsement: “We appreciate your leadership in working to improve the security of our schools. This is a critically important issue and your dedication to address-

ing it deserves to be commended. In addition, you improved state law by signing legislation to expand the areas where concealed carry license holders may lawfully carry. Finally, you have consistently opposed efforts to ban commonly owned ﬁrearms and ammunition.” Governor Hutchinson issued the following statement following the endorsement: “It is great to once again have the

support of the National Riﬂe Association. I have always been a strong supporter of both the 2nd Amendment and the mission of the NRA. In the past we have worked together to ensure Arkansans maintain their rights and that our schools can safely educate our students. I look forward to continuing to work with them to protect Arkansans during my second term.”

Nutrition Column...By Pat Smith

Peter, Miriam, and Jack Autoimmune Recoveries In my last couple of columns I gave an overview of autoimmune disease, provided three examples of recovery, and promised to post more. True to my word, here are three more. As before, the names are ﬁctitious but the stories are true. Recall that there are (currently) over 80 known autoimmune diseases and please know that I am not going to post that many examples.

Peter’s Story Peter was in his 50’s, a regular bicycle rider, with no symptoms. And then, seemingly overnight, he found himself unusually tired after riding. A physical found him to be severely anemic. A hematologist gave him iron infusions but couldn’t ﬁgure out why the problem happened. So off he goes to a liver specialist (hepatologist) who diagnoses him with Celiac disease (although he had none of the usual Celiac symptoms) and autoimmune hepatitis. The good doctor suggests he stay away from wheat and take steroids to suppress the immune system. When people with Celiac disease eat gluten (a protein found in wheat, rye and barley), their body mounts an immune response that attacks the small intestine. These attacks lead to damage on the villi, small ﬁngerlike projections that line the small intestine and absorb nutrients. When the villi get damaged, nutrients cannot be absorbed properly into the body. In autoimmune hepatitis your

immune system attacks your liver cells, causing long-term inflammation and liver damage. Pete now has two, seemingly unrelated autoimmune diseases. Having seen the result of steroid treatments with his parents, Pete declines the steroids. Side-effects from the steroids can occur, including ‘thinning’ of the bones (osteoporosis), weight gain, and increased pressure in the eye (glaucoma). Instead he found a functional medicine doctor who identified that he was reacting to all the proteins in grain (not just gluten) and had the nutrient deficiencies inherent in Celiac disease. Everything corrected with eliminating grain and adding dietary supplements. All issues resolved with no medication.

discovering Dr. Tom O’Bryan, author of The Autoimmune Fix. The problem was not, in her words, “my thyroid, it’s my immune system.” Diet change, thyroid ﬁxed. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease, in which the immune system attacks the thyroid. This can lead to hypothyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid does not make enough hormones for the body’s needs.

Jack’s Story Poor Jack had psoriasis all over his body, lots of doctors but no solutions. Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks skin cells. He also had many allergies, perpetual inﬂammation in his knee, alternating constipation and diarrhea. Elimination of gluten and dairy plus

Pat Smith is the author of “It’s All about the Food,” a book that guides nutritious food choices as the way to avoid illness and maintain a healthy weight. Pat is a resident of Montgomery County, AR, president of Ouachita Village, Inc. board of directors (Montgomery County Food Pantry); chairman of the Tasty Acre project; and member of the Mount Ida Area Chamber of Commerce board of directors. She can be contacted at patsmith2@ live.com. Her Facebook page is www.facebook. com/patsmithbooks. Her website is http://allaboutthefood.org/

IMMEDIATE OPENING

Miriam’s Story Miriam was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and given hormone replacement drugs for 15 years, remaining “exhausted” that entire time. A few years ago she started to look at food after

spending time in the sun eliminated all symptoms except psoriasis in weeks; the psoriasis took longer to resolve. This column is also posted on my website and there are links there to more detail about these conditions. You may be told that the causes of autoimmune diseases are unknown and drugs alone are the treatment, treatments that never work long term. Make no mistake; wonders can be wrought with diet.

While the above quotes are sweet and inspiring, in reality, it is frustrating to have to cancel a well-planned event because of the weather. Such was the case noted Judy Thompson, Mena Downtown Partners Business Liaison, when the first monthly Mena Mic Night was cancelled Saturday because of the rain probability. Thompson said she and members of the Activities Committee did not want to cancel the September 22 downtown event the day before, but felt it was necessary to let everyone know in advance. She further stated that the comfort and convenience of both attendees and performers were the most important considerations of the Mena Downtown Partners. Several performers had musical instruments which could not be subjected to precipitation. Judy McClara, MDP Vice-President and member of the Activities committee, advises everyone to mark their calendar now for the October monthly Mena Mic Night on Saturday, October 27. Mic Night is scheduled to be held in the downtown each fourth Saturday of the month and is another effort of Mena Downtown Partners to promote and energize downtown Mena.
