THE TAILGATE NEWS, southernarkansastailgatenews.com *JUNE 26, 20208
hopes to find a larger room to
hold them in to be sure and main-
tain social distancing. Mayor
Weldon said she had hoped to
resume live city meetings in July,
but changed her mind after the
recent Hot Spring County Corona
Virus spike.
“I am 65 years old and my
husband is not in good health,”
the mayor said. “So I choose to
adhere to the social distancing
and mask wearing recommended
to minimize the risk of catching
the Corona Virus. I was tested
recently and it came back clean. I
hope never to get it.”
As to work being done for
Malvern since the Covid19 news
became widespread in March,
Weldon said road improvement
projects have continued, sewer
line replacements too and the city
continues to pick up large house-
hold items for any resident who
calls in a load.
“You can call us for assis-
tance to get chairs, a couch or
whatever you need hauled off in
the way of large items at: (501)
332-2794,” she said.
“We are also continuing to
clean up storm damage, although
most of that is done. There may
be a few trees to be hauled out of
the cemetery yet.”

Rioters posing as “peaceful
protestors” nationwide, who have
been tearing down public monu-
ments, now face arrest and pos-
sible jail terms, according to
“tweets” from United States
President Donald Trump on
Tuesday, June 23.
President Trump doubled
down on earlier “tweets” when
speaking with reporters, saying
he will prosecute destructive pro-
testers who try to tear down
statutes after police stopped a
group from toppling a statue of
President Andrew Jackson out-
side the White House Monday
night.
As he departed for Phoenix
from the White House South
Lawn, Trump thanked police for
stopping the destructive protest-
ers — whom he called “vandals,
hoodlums, anarchists and agita-
tors” from succeeding..
“Last night we stopped an
attack on a great monument of
Andrew Jackson in Lafayette
Park,” Trump said, adding that
“numerous people” are already in
jail for destroying public property
and more are going “today.”
Trump has called himself a
“fan” of President Jackson. The
monument destruction nationwide
has been a further step taken by
out of control individuals who
have put an unfortunate blemish
on peaceful protesters who have
been demonstrating nationwide
about reducing or eliminating
police brutality and racism.
American Family Radio,
heard in the Arkadelphia and
Gurdon area, had a Christian sug-
gest this week that not only Black
Lives Matter, but All Lives Matter.
Indeed they do, asserts this edi-
tor.
