LUKE REEDER | Nashville News Emma Nolan visits with the Easter Bunny Saturday at Nashville City Park, where Park Director Nikki Cherry estimates that close to 1,500 children turned out for the organization’s annual Easter egg hunt. NASHVILLE - A local woman accused of stabbing another woman made a first appearance on charges stemming from the incident Wednesday in Howard County Circuit Court. Lamita Kay Graham, 49, was ordered to return to court April 23 to be arraigned on charges of third degree battery and aggravated assault. According to police reports, Graham was arrested just before 4 p.m. Tues., April 15 after Nashville Police Officer Will Bell responded to a report of a fight on South Main St. “When I pulled up, a black female was flagging me down in the street ... I recognized the female as Lisa Hawkins and could see her head bleeding down her face onto her chest and shirt,” Bell wrote in an arrest narrative related to the case. “I looked over and saw another black female in the yard. She opened the trash can and threw a knife inside.” The report alleges that the second woman, later identified as Graham, said, “Yeah, I cut her,” after the alleged victim “was screaming that she had been stabbed and the knife was in the trash can.” “[The victim] said she GRAHAM had been inside the residence ... cooking and heard someone yelling outside. She went outside and Graham rushed her ...” Bell wrote in the report. “She said Graham struck her on the head but she did not realize she had been cut until she pushed Graham away and saw a knife in her hand.” According to the report, the victim stated that she attempted to run away, but Graham gave pursuit and threatened her life until the victim was finally able to reach a phone and call 911. “As I transported Graham to the jail, she kept cursing me and saying she cut [the victim] and that she’d kill her,” Bell wrote in the narrative. “She said [the victim] hit her in the eye first, but there were no marks on Graham’s face.” Student journalists win big at awards conference LUKE REEDER NHS Correspondent ROGERS - Last week the Nashville High School Journalism class took seven of their staff members to the Arkansas Journalism Conference in Rogers. Representing the Nashville High School at the conference were Abby Williams, Alex Perrin, Alli Davis, Brooklyn Maynard, Danielle Jessie, Morgan Gar- cia, and John David Griffin. The high school staff took home 35 awards including 15 honorable mentions, 18 excellent awards and two superior awards. These awards were for newspaper publications, yearbook and literary magazine items. The 15 honorable mentions included Jackson Beavert and Morgan Garcia for poetry and Zack Perez for longer poem in the literary Man gets five years on drug charges CHARLES GOODIN Editor NASHVILLE - A Hope man was sentenced to five years in the Arkansas Department of Correction Wednesday in Howard County Circuit Court. Jason Petit, 36, received the sentence after pleading guilty to possessing methamphetamine, marijuana and drug paraphernalia. He was also ordered to pay an undisclosed fine and court costs. Court documents indicate that the charges against Petit stem from a July 2013 traffic stop on a vehicle traveling on Russell St. with no license plate. According to the arrest narrative attached to Petit’s case file, nervous behavior on his part led to officers requesting to search the vehicle - a request Petit denied. He then told police his driver’s license was in a bag located at the rear of the vehicle, and was told officers would need to conduct a pat down for weapons due to his behavior, the report alleges. Because Petit refused to comply, officers requested the Nashville Police Department’s K9 to walk around the vehicle and the dog “gave a positive alert that drugs were present,” the affidavit states. “A search was conducted by officers and a clear bag in which the corner was torn off was located in the shorts of Jason Petit,” police wrote in the narrative. “Officers then located a small quantity of marijuana along with two syringes which contain a dark colored fluid consistent with the controlled substance methamphetamine.” In other court news: • Willie Lewis, 24, of Nashville, entered a not guilty plea to a charge of delivery of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) and was ordered to return to court July 2. His bond was also reduced to $15,000. • Jerry Smith, 54, of Nashville, was found not fit to proceed and was committed to the state hospital.

It is a statistical fraud when Barack Obama and other politicians say that women earn only 77 percent of what men earn — and that this is because of discrimination. It would certainly be discrimination if women were doing the same work as men, for the same number of hours, with the same amount of training and experience, as well as other things being the same. But study after study, over the past several decades, has shown reThomas peatedly that those things sowell are not the same. Creators Constantly repeating Syndicate the “77 percent” statistic does not make them the same. It simply takes advantage of many people’s ignorance — something that Barack Obama has been very good at doing on many other issues. What if you compare women and men who are the same on all the relevant characteristics? First of all, you can seldom do that, because the statistics you would need are not always available for the whole range of occupations and the whole range of differences between women’s patterns and men’s patterns in the labor market. Even where relevant statistics are available, careful judgment is required to pick samples of women and men who are truly comparable. For example, some women are mothers and some men are fathers. But does the fact that they are both parents make them comparable in the labor market? Actually the biggest disparity in incomes is between fathers and mothers. Nor is there anything mysterious about this, when you stop and think about it. How surprising is it that women with children do not earn as much as women who do not have children? If you don’t think children take up a mother’s time, you just haven’t raised any children. How surprising is it that men with children earn more than men without children, just the opposite of the situation with women? Is it surprising that a man who has more mouths to feed is more likely to work longer hours? Or take on harder or more dangerous jobs, in order to earn more money? More than 90 percent of the people who are killed on the job are men. There is no point pretending that there are no differences between what women do and what men do in the workplace, or that these differences don’t affect income. During my research on male-female differences for my book “Economic Facts and Fallacies,” I was amazed to learn that young male doctors earned much higher incomes than young female doctors. But it wasn’t so amazing after I discovered that young male doctors worked over 500 hours more per year than young female doctors. Even when women and men work at jobs that have the same title — whether doctors, lawyers, economists or whatever — people do not get paid for what their job title is, but for what they actually do. Women lawyers who are pregnant, or who have young children, may have good reasons to prefer a 9 to 5 job in a government agency to working 60 hours a week in a high-powered law firm. But there is no point comparing male lawyers as a group with female lawyers as a group, if you don’t look any deeper than job titles. Unless, of course, you are not looking for the truth, but for political talking points to excite the gullible. Even when you compare women and men with the “same” education, as measured by college or university degrees, the women usually specialize in a very different mix of subjects, with very different income-earning potential. Although comparing women and men who are in fact comparable is not easy to do, when you look at women and men who are similar on multiple factors, the sex differential in pay shrinks drastically and gets close to the vanishing point. In some categories, women earn more than men with the same range of characteristics. If the 77 percent statistic was for real, employers would be paying 30 percent more than they had to, every time they hired a man to do a job that a woman could do just as well. Would employers be such fools with their own money? If you think employers don’t care about paying 30 percent more than they have to, just go ask your boss for a 30 percent raise! Regulatory overkill WASHINGTON -- Occasionally, the Supreme Cour t considers questions that are answered merely by asking them. On Tuesday, the court will hear arguments about this: Should a government agency, whose members are chosen by elected officials, be empowered to fine or imprison any candidate or other participant in the political process who during a campaign makes what the agency considers “false statements” about a member of the political class or a ballot initiative? An Ohio statute, which resembles laws in at least 15 other states, says, among many other stern things, that: “No person, during the course of any campaign ... shall ... make a false statement concerning the voting record of a candidate or public official.” Former Rep. Steve Driehaus, a Cincinnati Democrat who considers himself pro-life, says he lost his 2010 re-election bid because the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List violated Ohio’s law with ads saying that when he voted for the Affordable Care Act (ACA), he voted for taxpayer funding of abortion. When he learned that the SBA List planned to erect billboards proclaiming “Shame on Steve Driehaus! Driehaus voted FOR taxpayer -funded abor tion,” he filed a complaint with the Ohio Elections Commission, the truth arbiter and speech regu- GeoRGe wIll Washington Post lator. So the billboard company refused the SBA List’s business. The SBA List did air its message on radio. One can credit Driehaus’ pro-life sincerity, given that the ACA’s passage was greased by many m o re d e c e p t i o n s a n d dissimulations than the president’s gross falsehood that “if you like your health care plan, you can keep it.” Driehaus says the ACA does not (BEG ITAL) specifically(END ITAL) appropriate money for abortions. The SBA List counters that the ACA can subsidize abortion-inclusive insurance coverage. Driehaus says insurance companies must collect a “separate payment” from enrollees and segregate this money from federal funds. The SBA List says money is fungible, so this accounting sleight-of-hand changes nothing. Driehaus says an executive order issued after passage of the ACA, which was promised to get him and a few other pro-life Democrats to vote for the act, prohibits ACA funds from being used for abortions. The SBA List says the executive order proved that the ACA itself allowed taxpayer-funded abortions. The president of Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, seemed to agree, complacently dismissing the executive order as a “symbolic gesture.” Ohio’s law, which obviously is designed to encourage self-censorship, certainly chilled the SBA List’s political speech. Yet a lower court upheld the infliction of the intentionally speech-suppressive law on the SBA List because those challenging it supposedly must prove something impossible -- that if they persisted in their speech they would be certainly and imminently and successfully prosecuted. Under this standard, politically motivated people can, at little cost to themselves, make accusations that entangle adversaries in expensive speech-halting proceedings during a campaign. The SBA List’s brief to the Supreme Cour t notes that “a law requiring citizens to pay $1 before they could publicly comment on electoral issues or candidates for office would be immediately justiciable (and promptly invalidated).” Yet Ohio’s law makes it easy for literally millions of Ohioans to subject participants in the political process to much more expensive costs -not to mention the threat of incarceration. The Ohio Election Commission has pondered the truth or falsity of saying that a school board “turned control of the district over to the union,” and that a city councilor had “a habit of telling voters one thing, then doing another.” Fortunately, the Supreme Court, citing George Orwell’s “1984,” has held that even false statements receive First Amendment protection: “Our constitutional tradition stands against the idea that we need Oceania’s Ministry of Truth.” This case, which comes from Cincinnati, where the regional IRS office was especially active in suppressing the political speech of conservative groups, involves the intersection of two ominous developments. One is the inevitable, and inevitably abrasive, government intrusions into sensitive moral issues that come with government’s comprehensive and minute regulation of health care with taxes, mandates and other coercions. The Supreme Court will soon rule on one such, the ACA requirement that employer-provided health care plans must cover the cost of abor tifacients. The other development is government’s growing attempts to regulate political speech, as illustrated by the Obama administration’s unapologetic politicization of the IRS to target conservative groups. These developments a re n o t c o i n c i d e n t a l . Government’s increasing reach and pretensions necessarily become increasingly indiscriminate. The Nashville News USPS 371-540 P.O.

The Print Shop Shipper Drop off point Gas prices fall 1.6 cents Average retail gasoline prices in Arkansas have fallen 1.6 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.47/g yesterday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 1,826 gas outlets in Arkansas. This compares with the national average that has increased 2.3 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.62/g, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com. Including the change in gas prices in Arkansas during the past week, prices yesterday were 20.1 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 15.8 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has increased 11.9 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 12.1 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago. “The national average now stands at its highest level since last August,” said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. “The advance in prices has continued, with the worst jumps in areas of California, and southern states, where prices have increased anywhere from 15 to 30 cents per gallon in some cases. The increases will likely continue to persist, at worst for another month or so, but at best, we could see some relief arrive as soon as May rolls in,” DeHaan said. For all your printing needs!

Fletcher said Sanders was a “reliable, energetic worker,” and that she has been named a lifetime honorary member of the board. She began serving in the position in 1965 when the event was held at the old fair grounds on the Hope highway. The happiest folk in the USA We’ll start with a quote from Livestock Weekly, March 13, 2014. A recent report says North Dakota is the “happiest state in the union.” (Probably a little cool this April morn, but happy.) The article neglected to say how the survey was taken, but maybe they surveyed a hundred people and half of them had a new oil well or sold a load of calves for over $1,000 per head. “Not saying money will buy happiness,but for those From The Barnyard by Mike Graves of us who’ve ridden the ups and downs in both the oil and ranching business, it is really nice to be riding on top of the wave right now.” Amen. And I’m not apologizing for the high price of beef.

The strife is o’er. “Shine on me sunshine, walk with me world, it’s a skip’a’dee do da day!” -Donna Fargo John 3:16 Rarely do I hear a bad mule story, especially in conversations comparing mules to horses. Mules are held up most often as having common sense, calmness in a wreck, not having sense of humor, and sleight of hand (or hoof) tricks. Hank was wintering some big steers on corn stalks in the corn stalk state of Nebraska. On the day of the “great ride”, Hank had climbed aboard his big saddle mule, 16 hands tall, ears as big as swinging doors on the Gatorade refrigerator in the Cornhuskers locker room, and could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in the time it takes to spell Thayer County Fair! He named the mule Tom, after a revered football coach. Hank made a pass through the steers. The ground was covered with three inches of snow. There was a layer of frozen ice covering the field but the soil was still soft and moist. A hot wire kept the steers from drifting into the road. Hank was a former rodeo man and capable with a rope. He spotted a steer that was not lookin’ too good. It needed a shot. All of you who have rode wheat grass pasture realize most set-ups have a trap into which you can drive a sick steer, but if you are like Hank and are a member of the Senior Trippers, there’s a better way. He roped the steer around the horns and laid the trip. The steer flipped around and flopped to the ground. Hank jumped down and tied the steer’s feet together with a piggin’ string. He reached up to peel the rope off the steer’s horns. Tom spooked! The rope came tight and pinned Hank’s right hand in a vise grip, not unlike a bull rider’s hand when the bull takes is first deep breath! Tom took off running, taking long strides, dragging the steer across the ice-covered terrain of corn stubble! The steer floated like a sled behind him. Hank was anchored to the steer’s head, stretched out head-first like a luge in the Olympics! Occasionally he would flop from one side to the other and flattened his own share of the corn stubble. It was more of a sprint than a long distance course. When the mule pulled up at the pasture gate and stopped Hank managed to free his hand and the rope. He staggered to one knee. The trail behind them was littered with his hat, medicine bag, and the right leg of his chinks. His right pocket was ripped off his jeans and he was pock-marked from the pelting of mud divots that clung to his face like manure on the inside of his trailer gate! The steer was no worse for the wear and Tom had gotten his brains back. Hank crossed himself and gave thanks that the gate was closed or they would have been drug another quarter-mile to the house.

Alexander was a force for the Scrappers one day earlier, when he hit three home runs in a contest with Spring Hill. NONcONFERENcE wIN Scrappers blast Spring Hill again, win 16-2 CHARLES GOODIN Editor SPRING HILL - The Nashville Scrappers trounced Spring Hill for the second time this season Thursday, claiming a 16-2 nonconference win over the Bears. Nashville fired on all cylinders from the outset of the contest, tallying runs in every inning but the fifth while holding the Bears scoreless save in the fourth stanza. Cameron Alexander got things started with a home run that scored himself, Nick Myers and Zach Jamison - and set the tone for what was to come. Spring Hill went three up, three down at the bottom of the first, allowing the Scrappers to continue their scoring ways at the top of the second. It started with a run by Myers that came after Jamison singled to left field. One play later, Alexander hit another home run that scored himself and Jamison, then Blake Hockaday reached base on a fielder’s choice, scoring Alex Curry. After another scoreless inning for Lady Outlaws lose to M’boro A.J. SMITH Managing Editor DIERKS – The Dierks Lady Outlaws were defeated by the Murfreesboro Lady Rattlers 11-1 Friday. The Lady Outlaws had six hits with one run while the Lady Rattlers were allowed 13 hits with 11 runs. The Lady Outlaws were unable to score until the sixth inning. Lillie Woodruff led with a walk. Melanie Kesterson hit a single. Hailey Carraway was struck out. Kyla Kompkoff’s hit to centerfield was caught for the second out. Adrianna Walston hit a single that brought in Woodruff. Stephanie Stuart was thrown out at first for the last out of the inning. The Dierks Lady Outlaws will take to the field against the Foreman Lady Gators today at 4:30 p.m. in Dierks. the Bears, Myers made it 8-0 on the first play of the third inning with a home run of his own, then Jamison scored on a wild pitch, increasing the Scrappers’ lead to nine. The fourth inning saw more of the same, beginning when Dylan Chambers hit a ground ball past first base, scoring Justin Reed. Jamison then singled to left field, scoring Trace Beene, and Alexander hit his third home run, scoring himself and Jamison. Near the end of the inning, Storm Nichols hit a fly ball to left field, scoring Kyler Lawrence, then Reed doubled to center field, scoring Kory Snodgrass and Nichols to give Nashville a 16-0 advantage. Spring Hill finally got on the board at the bottom of the fourth with two runs, but the would-be rally was too little, too late and the Scrappers escaped with the win. Chambers was credited with the victory after striking out six batters and giving up two earned runs in the final four innings of the game. Alexander opened up pitching, giving up just one hit in an inning of work. Malvern wins 4-2 NASHVILLE - A late rally by Malvern ultimately led to defeat for the Nashville Scrappers Friday as they fell to the Leopards 4-2 at Wilson Park. The game had been scoreless up until the ifth inning, when the Scrappers managed two runs, but Malvern answered with four in the sixth and then held the home team off in the seventh to claim the win. Nick Myers and Andy Graves were responsible for the Scrappers’ only two runs, the irst of which came when Justin Reed hit a sacriice ly, and the last of which occurred when Graves advanced to home on a throw. Alex Curry was credited with the loss after striking out eight batters and giving up four earned runs in ive innings of work. Reed illed in for the remaining two innings and struck out one during that time. The Scrappers will return to action tonight as they prepare to travel to Little Rock for a matchup with Central Arkansas Christian. Game time is set for 5 p.m. DE QUEEN - A strippeddown version of the Nashville track team finished sixth Thursday in the Collin Raye Relays held at De Queen High School. Nashville competed without many of its top athletes, including prolific distance runner Eric Perez, who has led the team in first-place finishes so far this season. With Perez out of the spotlight, Trey Hughes and Terrell Grundy stepped in to claim the only first and second place medals the Scrappers earned at the event. The duo finished 1-2 in the triple jump with 42’8” and 40’8” efforts, respectively. Grundy also finished fourth in the long jump with a 19’11” performance and eighth in the high jump (5’4”), while Hughes took fourth in the high jump with 5’8”. Treveenon Walker managed a third place finish in the shot put with a toss of 44’0.5” and Dillon Honea took sixth in the discus with a 109’10” effort, rounding out scoring for the Scrappers in the field events. Nashville was less productive on the track, although the 4x400m and 4x800m relay teams, composed of Ricardo Baltazar, Ignacio Perez, Matthew Carver and Trey Hughes, and R’Quez Hughes, Shavonte Norvell, Lee Scroggins and Hughes, respctively, both managed to finish fifth in their events. Carver and I. Perez also finished 5-8 in the 3200m run with 12:12:58 and 12:33:25 efforts, respectively. I. Perez rounded out scoring for Nashville with an eighth place performance in the 800m run (2:22.75). The Scrapper thinclads will return to action Thurs., April 24 with a meet at Texarkana. Scrapperettes win big over Malvern CHARLES GOODIN Editor NASHVILLE - The Nashville Scrapperettes scored 12 runs in the final two innings of their Friday matchup with Malvern to cruise past the Lady Leopards 13-3. Nashville had been down 3-1 prior to the rally with their lone score coming off the bat of Keeley Miller at the bottom of the first inning. Miller’s line drive to center field scored Shayla Wright, serving as an answer to the three runs the Lady Leopards had been able to score at the top of the stanza. The teams then battled through three scoreless innings before Wright got things started for Nashville with a bunt that scored Maddi Horton.

Williamson will coach both high school football and basketball teams, while Stephen Sprick will assume coaching duties for both junior high teams in addition to his role as baseball coach.

The holiday was created in 1872 by a journalist named J. Sterling Morton. Morton was a pioneer who had moved from Detroit, Michigan, to Nebraska. Upon his arrival, he quickly began to plant many trees, shrubs, and lowers. On April 4, 1872, as the head of the State Board of Agriculture, Morton held the irst Arbor Day event, a contest with prizes to see who could plant the most trees. Close to a million trees were planted that day. Since then, many states have created their own Arbor Days. Each state has picked a date that is the best time to plant trees according to local weather patterns. National Arbor Day is held each year on the last Friday in April in honor of J. Sterling Morton. Many schools and civic organizations celebrate the national observance by planting a tree. Individuals can also observe the holiday by planting smaller things, such as lowers. Trees are vital to our Earth and should be loved and cared for year-round! FinD The T ree WorD FinD MATching Apple Tree Match Ans:#4 1. 2. 3. 4. Circle the words hidden in the puzzle.

I do enjoy it and last year for the first time, I actually canned some of our vegetables. By the way, (shameless plug) our Family Consumer Science Agent-Jean Ince is a great teacher and you should take advantage of the canning workshop she does in the summer. While gardening, Scott and I experiment with different things and do some research on what to try next. This year we are planting our garden in blocks and using companion plants. We had a horrible time with squash bugs last year and I frankly got tired of spraying the little devils. So, I am going to save you the time of researching what companion plants work best with what crop. There are lots of combinations out there and we cannot cover them all but I will go through a few of our common garden plants. Our good old southern stand by garden crop Tomatoes: You can plant Borage to control tomato hornworms. Marigolds control some nematodes, whiteflies, and deter mosquitoes, and basil will control tomato hornworms, and deter mosquitoes and flies. Want to add a little color to your garden? Plant petunias with your beans. The petunias will attract aphids, leafhoppers, and Mexican bean beetle away from your beans. You can also plant rosemary with your beans to deter the Mexican bean beetle. Plant nasturtiums with your cabbages, radishes, cucumbers, and tomatoes to control aphids, pumpkin beetle, squash beetle, cabbage moth, potato beetle, and white flies in the garden. If you are having problems with furry critters getting in the garden you can plant wormwood around the borders to keep animals out of your garden. Something people don’t think to put in the garden is catnip. I think this plant repels just about everything except cats! Use it to keep away flea beetles, aphids, Japanese beetles, squash bugs, ants and weevils. Dill is another under-used plant; it is best planted with cucumbers and onions. During the cool season it can be planted with lettuce. Dill attracts hoverflies and predatory wasps, and its foliage is used as food by swallowtail butterfly caterpillars. Tomato hornworms are also attracted to dill, so if you plant it at a distance, you can help draw these destructive insects away from your tomatoes. Dill repels aphids and spider mites, as well. Sprinkle dill leaves on squash plants to repel squash bugs. (I will be trying this!) There are so many combinations that work well we can’t cover them all. Keep in mind there are also combinations that don’t work so well together. For more information on companion plants or vegetable gardens in general, contact the Howard County Extension Office at 870-845-7517 or sbeaty@ uaex.edu.
