“Ondrisek, who was born into the ministry, testified that he was beaten in the church gym in Fouke at age 12.
Calagna said in the affidavit that Kolbeck beat him with a board at the compound in Fouke when he was 14…”

The prosecutor for Miller County will not bring charges for Kolbek. He is Brent Haltom. He is running for Judge Hudson’s position in May. Before his death, Hudson’s actions showed his compassion for all these children.

We’d like all ex members to ask why Haltom will not act on this. It does not matter that you do not reside here. This man is suppose to protect and defend these kids. Write our Attorney General or send a comment to the Gazette’s Editor for print. The email address is opinion@texarkanagazette.com. Include a name and phone number please or they will not publish your comment. It will only state your name and city. We do not want this man making the decisions for the children that have been put in DHS custody. Haltom does not seem to understand the severity of it all.

Walk out the door and up the street; look at the stars.
Look at the stars fall down.”
- Lyrics by James Blunt

So the villain is locked away. All that is left is the villain inside us…if we were given the opportunity to do as much what would we have done with that power?

Sometimes freedom is the freedom to “not matter,” to be meaningless. To not leave a footprint if that footprint would otherwise be a crater on a virgin planet.

It is impossible for everything to remain pure, but it won’t be me that muddies the waters.
