On Sept. 11, Gov. Asa Hutchinson visited Foreman High School to talk
about the importance of computer science in Arkansas.
H u t c h i n s o n visited the computer science classroom where he spoke with the nine students currently enrolled in the computer science class. He then addressed the high school students in the auditorium about how much Arkansas has pushed to become a leader in computer science in public schools.
Foreman High School offered computer science as a virtual learning class for the past few years, but over the summer, Tammy Lawrence went through two training courses at the DeQueen-Mena Education Service Cooperative and the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences and the Arts (ASMSA) in order to teach the class for the first time this fall.
“I was able to put those two together, and I felt a little more comfortable than what I did at the beginning,” Lawrence said. “I said, ‘okay, we’re going to do it.’ I got my two-year certification.”
Lawrence said she learned coding at the training, and she uses apps to work with different coding languages. One app took her two and a half days to solve.
“When I finally got it, I was so proud,” Lawrence said. “To me it was a huge
accomplishment because I didn’t know anything about computer science before this past summer.”
When Hutchinson visited the classroom, the students introduced
themselves and shook his hand. Lawrence said she was proud of them.
“They thought it was neat that he came to our little school,” Lawrence said.
Foreman High School is one of eight Arkansas schools Hutchinson is visiting during his fall 2019 tour to promote computer science.
The Foreman class follows a curriculum of modules to learn the many aspects of
computer science, but Lawrence also has some other projects in mind for her students. The class will participate in the Congressional App Challenge, which is a contest sponsored by the U.S. House of Representatives in which students compete to create the best original app. Arkansas Rep. French Hill is one of the two 2019 co-chairs for the challenge.
On Sept. 18, the nine students in the computer science class spent all day participating in a livestream with the Dawson Education Service Cooperative and several other schools to train for the challenge. Since each team can only have up to four students, Lawrence said the class will split into three teams of three students.
The deadline to submit an original app is Nov. 1.

Ashdown Alumni Return Home for 13th Annual Banquet
Governor promotes computer science at Foreman High School
On Saturday, Sept. 14, the Thirteenth Annual Ashdown Alumni Association Banquet was held at the Ashdown High School Cafeteria. AHS Class of 1965 Dr. Tom Fomby was the honored guest for the evening. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Missouri and is currently professor of economics at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. He is co-editor of Advances in Econometrics, an annual college book of econometric techniques as applied to problems in economics, finance, marketing and forecasting.
The Class of 1969 was accepted into the “Golden Circle Club” as they celebrated 50 years since graduation. 1941 AHS Graduate Ethel Mae Ford Skieff was the oldest female graduate in attendance, and 1946 AHS Graduate Tony Spigner was the oldest male graduate at the banquet.
After a delicious meal prepared by the Ashdown Public Schools Food Service, served by AHS Skills USA, there was entertainment provided by 1969 graduates Larry Bennett, Sue Ellen Fawcett Taylor, Gail Tabler McKeller and Paco Ritter.

The Beatles broke up when I was 8.Those eight years are the same ones
they were together.So, my life has always included John,
Paul, George and Ringo.From 1963 until 1970, The Beatles
dominated the airwaves, both in radio airplay and in television coverage.
They were also covered in newspapers and magazines. They made movies. They knocked Elvis off his throne. They were a big deal.
They still are.The fact that
some 50 years later I’m still writing about them and you’re still interested in reading this is remarkable.
Other artists of the same era have waned in popularity or disappeared. You never hear, “Gee, do you think Paul Revere and The Raiders might get back together?”
But Paul and Ringo, the two surviving Beatles, still draw huge crowds as solo acts. My wife and I have seen them both in the last five years. Both shows were excellent and being at each felt like being part of history.
Beatlemania is still a thing. One newly-discovered tidbit of Beatle information sends fans into a tizzy.
It’s why I’m writing this.Mark Lewisohn, who some consider
to be an expert on the band, is a writer working on another Beatles book. He claims he came across a taped interview with John, Paul and George (Ringo was ill and wasn’t present), recorded shortly before the band split.
If this tape is real, what makes it unique
is that it seems to indicate that Lennon was planning on the band making more records, which contradicts everything Beatles fans have always believed - that it was John’s desire to leave the group that caused the end of the Beatles. Even Paul has said that it was John who broke up the group.
But allegedly in this recorded session, Lennon discusses a 4-4-4-2 song split.
John, Paul and George would each get four songs of their choice on the next album, and Ringo, if he wanted, would get two.
During the recording, Paul allegedly disses the quality of George’s songwriting and questions the number allocated to each person.
Lennon then supposedly tells McCartney that he has songs they don’t like either (he cites Maxwell’s Silver Hammer) and suggests he should offer his lesser work to other artists
instead of to his own band.But this album, which would have
followed Abbey Road and Let It Be, their last records, wasn’t to be. If the recording of John, Paul and George talking is real and verified, an inability to agree on songs seems to be part of the reason the album never happened, but Paul appears to be the hold out, not John.
It looks more and more as if Yoko was a scapegoat.
Mark Lewisohn has already released one Beatles book and plans to publish two more. For those of us who still find the band’s work to be unprecedented and an integral part of our lives, this new information about The Beatles is pretty

By April 1, 2020, each of you will receive an invitation to participate in the 2020 Census. Responding to the census will be easier than ever, as this will be the first time you can respond online.
The Constitution mandates that the country conduct a count of its population once every 10 years. The 2020 Census will mark the 24th time that the country has counted its population since 1790.
The Governor recently announced the formation of the Arkansas Complete Count Committee. The 30 member task force includes two state senators and two state representatives who have agreed to help promote statewide participation in the 2020 Census.
When you respond to the census, you help your community gets its fair share of the more than $675 billion per year in federal funds spent on schools, hospitals, roads, public works and other vital programs.
The census tells us much more than just the population of our state and our communities. It tells us about the makeup of those populations, from ages and races to how many people own their home.
Businesses use census data to decide where to build factories and offices. Developers use the census to build new homes.
Local governments use the census for public safety and emergency preparedness. The data can help inform where your community needs a new fire department, more funding for school lunches, or new roads.
The census helps determine how many representatives each state gets in Congress. The information is also used to redraw state senate and house district boundaries. Redistricting counts are sent to the states by March 31, 2021.
The answers you provide are used only to produce statistics. You are kept anonymous. The Census Bureau is not permitted to publicly release your responses in any way that could identify you or anyone else in your home.

A Natural PartnershipLITTLE ROCK – The U.S. Secretary of Agriculture,
Sonny Perdue, made his third official visit to Arkansas this week, and today I’m going to discuss the Shared Stewardship agreement we signed during his visit.
It is significant to note that Arkansas is the first southern state to sign this agreement, which creates a partnership between the state and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to care for all of our natural resources.
The agreement establishes a framework so that government at all levels can work together, no matter where calamity strikes. The agreement allows for us to “effectively respond to the increasing ecological challenges and natural-resource concerns in Arkansas, whether aquatic, terrestrial, or air.”
In other words, we are going to work together to take care of our land, water, and air.
Natural disasters such as fire, flood, drought, the infestation of insects, and the spread of invasive plants don’t pay any mind to the boundaries between state land, federal land, and private property.
The agreement calls for proactive measures that include minimizing the risk of wildfires through the use of prescribed and controlled burning, and by minimizing the suppression of naturally caused forest fires; identifying, managing, and reducing threats to forest and ecosystem health; and creating economic development strategies that keep working forests productive.
Arkansas has a good relationship with Secretary Perdue, who is adamant that his agency is accessible and transparent. This agreement further enhances transparency and our access to the Department of Agriculture.
Approximately one-hundred foresters, farmers, and conservationists, as well as some state legislators and congressmen, crowded into the conference room at the Arkansas Department of Agriculture.
After we discussed the agreement, Secretary Perdue answered questions from the audience about farming and trade. He assured rice growers that the Department of Agriculture is working hard on their behalf.
Secretary Perdue praised American farmers. He said that we are blessed to live in a nation that is a food superpower that doesn’t depend on any other nation for food.
When Secretary Perdue had answered all the questions, we moved to a table and signed the agreement. The Department of Agriculture meeting underscored the good relationship that Arkansas
LITTLE ROCK – In 2017 the legislature approved the creation of four crisis stabilization units (CSU), where police officers can bring people who are experiencing a severe mental health episode.
In the past, many people undergoing a mental health crisis were locked up in a local jail. Their condition often worsened, because they were not getting treatment and did not have access to medication. Jail staff were not trained to respond to their needs.
With the opening of the Craighead County CSU in northeast Arkansas, the four units authorized by Act 423 of 2017 are now open. The new units were part of the governor’s legislative agenda.
Law enforcement officers in 20 northeast Arkansas counties can bring people to the Craighead County unit, which has 16 beds.
The state’s other three crisis stabilization units are in Washington County, Sebastian County and Pulaski County.
An important provision in Act 423 expands training of police officers in how to distinguish mental health problems, and how to respond. More than 500 officers have gone through crisis intervention training.
This week the Arkansas Criminal Justice Institute is offering a nine-hour class to enhance officers’ understanding of Act 423. The institute keeps officer safety foremost when teaching policies and procedures. Completion of the class can be counted toward a degree.
Also, when new recruits are getting certified at the state’s Law Enforcement Training Academy, they take 16 hours of training in mental health crisis intervention.
The four CSU’s will alleviate some of the strain on the finances and staffing of county jails, city lockups and emergency rooms. Another goal is to decrease the number of repeat offenses among people with mental illnesses.
Teacher RetirementThe work of the legislature’s Joint Committee on Public
Retirement and Social Security Systems is watched closely by thousands of Arkansas citizens. For example, the committee recently met in Hot Springs and about 300 people attended.
Teachers and public employees wanted to know about the financial health of their retirement systems, and whether there are any plans to change their benefits.
The director of the Teacher Retirement System, the state’s largest with $17 billion in assets, told the audience that the system’s board had no plans to reduce benefits. Its board would wait a few years to assess the impact of past actions that affected benefits.
Last year the Teacher Retirement System paid an

OBITUARIES (CONT.) & COMMUNITY NEWS
Some people are just flat good at handlin’ horses. They’ve got that good “horse savvy.” Matter of fact, there are people actually makin’ a livin’ trainin’ horses! I admire these folks’ ability and special talent. It’s always a pleasure to see a good horse workin’ right. But horses look at veterinarians like kids look at Sunday School or cowboys look at weddings.
They make’m uncomfortable. Even though everybody tells ‘em it’s for their own good, they’d lots rather be someplace else. But, in the case of the horse, you can’t really blame them. Most every time I have to handle a horse it’s to stick something in him like a tube or a shot or a plastic sleeve!
And, they remember you! I’ve seen horses go bug-eyed and snorty at the sight or smell of a vet truck! The only way you could give’m a shot was to sneak it to the cowboy and let him do it from horseback.
Years back I went to a lecture and demonstration on “horse psychology for vets.” The gist of the whole philosophy says it is a matter of wills. Since the horse is a social animal, each band has a pecking order. It’s not always the strongest or fastest or biggest that’s the leader. It’s the one with the most dominant personality. So every time a person meets a horse one has to dominate the other.
Well, I took the schoolin’ seriously and came back ready to test my new horse psychology skills. I practiced on several “bronky” ones before I tried it out on my archenemy. He was a dark brown, non-descript, bad-headed, ill-tempered, big-footed, long-haired typical Nevada-raised feedlot slogger named Scrap Iron! In six years I had never tube-wormed Scrap Iron or given him so much as a vitamin shot! He wouldn’t let me within 20 foot of him!
Following my instructions, I crouched real low and approached him. He mistook me for the farrier and let me pick up a front foot. I buckled on the one-leg hobble and stood up. He realized immediately the trick I pulled on him and promptly went into his “bad actor” routine. He ran around the corral on three legs, he reared, rolled, snorted, slobbered, kicked, fell, cussed and generally just made a fool of himself. Which, of course, was the plan.
After soakin’ him like this for twenty minutes, I went over and humiliated him in every way I could think of. I tickled his flank, handled his tail, patted his belly, stuck my fingers in his mouth, nose and ears. He stood and took it, glaring at me. Then I took off the hobble and repeated the tickling, handling, patting and poking while he stood there shaking and hating me. But he did stand.
I tubed him two or three times and gave him his first full series of vaccinations without a twitch, a foot up or an ear. The only restraint was a halter, my voice and his knowledge that when it was him against me, it was ME in charge. It took forty-five minutes and was the pinnacle of my horsedom.
He never forgot and the times I worked on him over the years he allowed it. It was a good arrangement, I got him vetted and he still hated me.
For those of you who think this little experience swelled my head, some of you’ll be pleased to know that the last time I wormed Scrap Iron, I turned my back on him and he bit me on the shoulder. I whirled around and he had this innocent look on his face. I stared at him. He smiled just a little and seemed to say. “I’m just keepin’ you on your toes, kid, so you don’t get too cocky. It’s for your own good!”

National Punch Day is celebrated on September 20th of every year. The word punch comes from a Sanskrit word meaning “ five”. The five in punch pertains originally to the five ingredients used to make punch. These five ingredients consisted of sugar, water, alcohol, lemon, tea or spices. Punch was brought to England in the 17 th century by sailors traveling from India. Punch remains mostly non-alcoholic today. Originally it was a beer alternative. When Sailors brought punch back to Britain, it became common to serve at parties. Today punch can be found at most parties, baby showers, and wedding showers in America. This past weekend, I hosted a baby shower with the colors; navy, rose gold, white, pink, peach and gold. I chose a non- alcoholic champagne colored punch. This punch matched the golden hues perfectly. The shower turned out beautiful and the punch tasted amazing. Here’s the recipe for my baby shower punch.
MOCK CHAMPAGNE PUNCH 2 (2 liter) bottles ginger ale 1 (46 fl. oz.) Pineapple juice 1 (64fl. oz.) Bottle white grape juice Freeze til slushy and serve fromyour favorite punch bowl.
PINK BABY SHOWER PUNCH 3 quarts raspberry sherbet, softened6 liters ginger ale, chilled
Just before serving, place sherbet in punch bowl. Add ginger ale; stir until sherbet is almost melted.

average of $23,478 in benefits to 46,824 retirees.
The other major public retirement system is for people who work for the state. The Arkansas Public Employees Retirement System last year paid benefits of about $1,200 a month to 37,389 retirees.
State Revenue ReportIn August state government collected
$508 million in general revenue, which was $8.4 million more than budget officials had predicted.
The jump in revenue was attributed to higher than expected collections of sales taxes and individual income taxes. Tax rates have not changed, therefore the increase in collections indicates that more people are working and they are purchasing more.
