Just shows what complete disrespect for the law these thugs have breaking into the ATT store like that in such a open place with so many cars driving by. It’s a shame that they’ll probably get away with it since there is so many othe crimes to worry about! [Editor’s Note: Well, you may be happy to know (assuming you read the front page) that three of the four suspects have in fact been arrested. I’m willing to bet the fourth will be behind bars before too long as well. I did see a comment on the sto/y when it was on Facebook last week where it was reported that the thieved made off with “$13,000 in merchandise” and someone quipped, “Wow! That’s like five iPhone X’sf” That gave me a little chuckle] Here’s a sign of the apocalypse… a California university is now offering a course on Mickey Mouse Studies! They will be watching lots of Disney material and doing an essay on it and anyone who can do Donald Duck’s voice will get extra points… no, not really. They will also be studying other animated materials. I’ve heard of ridiculous college courses before and jokes about “underwater basket weav/iig,” but a quick Google search reveals a number of other courses that are actually REAL… Bowling Industry Management and Technology, The Simpsons and Philosophy, David Beckham Studies, and Bagpiping. The university experience is meant to expand your mind although most of the people who thought of these courses may have been using mindexpanding cigarettes. We really need more courses that help society and perhaps a few more science or medical students would contribute more than a really good bagpipes player, if there is such a thing.

[Editor’s Note: Wait, underwater basket weaving isn’t real? I have no problem with colleges offering unique, if ultimatley not that useful, courses. I remember Arkansas State offering a literature course on the works of Stephen King, like 20 years ago. I w’ould totally take that course. This sort of thing would, I assume, simply be an elective course and not part of any degree pro- gram. I mean, you can’t major in bagpipes, right?] Has there been a baby bom in the new hospital yet?

That would be a good story! [Editor’s Note: As far as I know, there have been no babies born in BMH-Crittenden. The hospital isn’t set up with a maternity ward, atthought we’ve been assured they would, if necessary, be equipped to deliver a baby.

I remember back when Crittenden Regional Hospital was open, we would get the local “Baby New Year” information for the paper. So, while we may not have one for 2019 until later in the year, if at all, it’s nice no know we might. And

that m ’ould be a good stoiy]
