New board member asks: Does Kennett High need five taxpayer-funded football coaches? BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

CONWAY — "Do we really need five paid high school football coaches on the public's nickel?" That was the question John Skelton, the newest board member on the Conway School Board, asked last week.

Apparently most school board think so, as Skelton and fellow board member Syndi White were in the minority when the board voted 5-2 to fill the assistant coach position vacated by longtime coach Brian Day, who is retiring from the gridiron.

Ron Brown, of Sechrist, works on installing the new state-of-the-art wound care center inside Memorial Hospital Tuesday. The center will offer two of the area’s most advanced “hyperbaric oxygen” chambers. “For most people, cuts and scratches will heal within a few days or weeks. However, for individuals who suffer from diabetes or poor circulation, their natural healing process is hampered. A simple sore can become a complex medical problem that can significantly alter a person’s quality of life,” said Alan S. Goldenhar, DPM, FACFAS, who will serve as co-chair of the center along with W. Stuart Battle, MD. Opening is expected July 18. (JAMIE GEMMITI PHOTO)
