Weekly Code Enforcement Report
Warrant Requested By Ruby Burton Has Been Signed
June 27, 2008
Dear Friends,
I want to let you know that a judge from Arkansas County has signed a warrant against me. This drastic action came at the request of Ruby Burton of the Humane Society in Monticello and only after judges in Phillips and St. Francis Counties declined to issue a warrant. This matter grows out of an incident where some dogs were released. I have addressed this matter in an open letter which is available for reading at http://jfvalley.blogspot.com. (Search for "open letter").
This is a highly unfortunate incident. No crime has been committed. I fully intend to continue to cooperate with law enforcement authorities during all phases as this matter unfolds. In the meantime, I will be working toward continuing the progress being made by the City of Helena-West Helena to improve the lives of the citizens in our community, which includes assisting in fundraising for a new animal shelter, fixing potholes, paving streets, and provide good effective municipal services. In the meantime, I will have no further public comment on this matter until the legal issues have been resolved. All questions regarding this matter are to be directed to the City Attorney's office.
Yours truly,
James F. Valley

Word of the Day for Saturday, June 28, 2008mazy \MAY-zee\, adjective: Resembling a maze in form or complexity; winding; intricate; confusing; perplexing. All day and all night, the waves threw themselves dementedly against their rocky barricade, sending an endless roar like heavy traffic through the glacial rooms and mazy, echoing corridors of the old house. By now some 20 characters are caught in the turns and baffles of Mr. Dunne's mazy plot. Unfortunately, the result is a dense, mazy book, a book that instead of illuminating the artist's work only succeeds in erecting a pretentious literary scrim between it and the average reader. Mazy is the adjective form of maze, which comes from Middle English mase, from masen, "to confuse, to daze," from Old English amasian, "to confound." It is related to amaze, which originally meant "to bewilder." | |||||||||
