Conway got to experience New York City first-hand Monday night, during the University of Central Arkansas’ first live broadcast from The Metropolitan Opera. Joseph Anderson, chairman of the UCA Department of Mass Communication and Theater, said that through high-definition capabilities, the audience was able to experience the opera as if they were in the Lincoln Center for Performing Arts. “I think a lot of the draw of opera is spectacle, and this was the ultimate spectacle,” he said.

‘Fall Y’all’ comes to Vilonia By LINDA HICKS SPECIAL TO THE LOG CABIN

VILONIA — Organizers want to see folks of all ages eating and playing as well as picking and grinning at the Fall Y’all Country Fair to be held from 9 a.m. until dark, Saturday, on the campus of the Vilonia Primary School. “The day is all about family,” said Sue Gallahar, coordinator. “There really should be something for everyone.” Some of the events listed include Bingo, musical entertainment, a cookie walk, quilting and sewing demonstrations, an art show, a variety of booths--some handing out goodie bags, others holding drawings, hayrides and a bean supper. There’s no charge for admission, however, there’s a small fee including a $5 for a bingo card which is good for all day play and a $5 fee for the bean supper as well as a 50 cent

The University of Central Arkansas Board of Trustees held a special meeting Monday to allow campus representatives to weigh in on the search process for the school’s next president. “We want to get all the input we possibly can, even on the process of the search,” Randy Sims, board chairman, said during the meeting. “We can use this as a starting place and take that and improve on it. Hopefully everyone will be pleased with

the end result.” Although each representative had different ideas of what he or she is looking for in a president, all agreed that good communication should be at the forefront. The search process proposal presented at the meeting states the search advisory committee be comprised of a chair, a campus liaison and members of the community, alumni, UCA Foundation representatives, senior administrators, students, staff and faculty.

Consignment sale helps local families stretch budgets

By JESSICA BAUER LOG CABIN STAFF WRITER

With the state of today’s economy and gas prices soaring, local families are always looking for new ways to stretch their dollars. Rhea Lana Riner of Conway has found a good way to do so and is planning on helping local families make the most of their money. Rhea Lana’s A Children’s Consignment Sale, a local biannual event, is in its 10th year to offer quality secondhand products with an inexpensive price tag to local moms and kids. The fall sale opens to the public at 8 a.m. Wednesday at the Conway Towne Centre on Highway 65. “We are going to have about 750 consignors offering more than 60,000 high-quality children’s items from name brand and boutique brand clothes to toys to baby equipment to furniture,” Riner, owner and operator of the sale, said Monday. “Anything kids need and love, we’ll have it.”

Riner said the best thing about the sale is that it is in keeping with the city’s latest theme of going green. “The neat thing about it is it’s along the lines of recycling,” Riner said. “Moms take their gently used items and sell them to other moms, stretching the family’s budget. We just help families buy second-hand things that are just as good as what they would be buying at any store.” Riner said part of the sale is not only designed to benefit those who donated the items, but those who may be receiving them as well. “Thursday is Shop for Schools Day and 10 percent of each shopper’s purchase will go back to the participating schools because we just love giving back to schools and community,” Riner said. “And after the sale we will be donating a lot of our items that didn’t sell to two different local organizations.” Those additional donations will be made to Ms. Eva’s Helping Hands, an

VILONIA — Sophia Hogan has been living in Faulkner County for the past 16 years. During that time, she has earned a degree, got married and had children. This week, she officially pledged her allegiance to the United States. Addressing students in the Vilonia Academy of Service and Technology (VAST) Friday, teacher Sandy Towles introduced Hogan as a surprise guest speaker. “I’m a new citizen,” Hogan began. She also passed around photos and told about being sworn in as a U.S. citizen on Constitution Day, Sept. 17, during a ceremony at the William J. Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock. “You automatically don’t become a citizen,” she told the students. “And, it’s not so easy.” As she spoke, the fifth grad-

ers listened eagerly wanting to know more about the woman they had known only as the cafeteria manager before Friday. As the children asked questions and Hogan answered, her life in the United States began to unfold. Originally from Malaysia, Hogan told the students she came to Conway on a student visa in 1992 to go to college at UCA. She earned a dietician and nutrition degree and met her husband, Greg, in 1993. However, they didn’t marry until 1997. He is currently a teacher at Vilonia Junior High. The couple have two children, Jacob who is eight and two year old Kristin. “As you can see, my life is here,” Hogan said. “I turned my green

There were documents to be filled out, time delays, interviews and a test. “I even had to list the gifts my husband gave me and the restaurants we ate at,” she said. “They wanted to make sure we didn’t just get married for me to get a green card.” She may have begun the process earlier, she said, but she hated to go against her father’s wishes. “He didn’t want me to give up my Malaysia citizenship,” she

Goss, nearing his 100th, recalls growing up in area

Mrs. W.W. Westmoreland was hostess to the T.E.L. class of the First Baptist Sunday school for an all-day meeting and “pot-luck” dinner at her home, 1827 Prince St. Thirty-four members were present. The devotional lesson was given by Mrs. Edna Taylor. In the business session, Mrs. W.O. Durham presided. Mrs. Chester Markam, secretary, called the roll and read the minutes. Mrs. W .E. Atkinson, teacher, was reelected. The class presented Mrs. Atkinson with the beautiful quilt in appreciation of her faithful services. The quilt was in the “friendship” design in colors of nile green and white, the class colors. Each square had the name of a member of the class embroidered on it. 50 years ago (1958)

An estimated $9,000 was needed to finance the Conway athletic department, according to figures released by the office of Superintendent Hays Gibson. The figures were based on actual receipts and expenditures of the 1957-58 school year in which receipts totaled $9,157.19, and expenditures totaled $9,148.65. The financial success of the athletic department hinged on the outcome of the sale of season tickets. About 300 tickets must be sold in order to assure the department of operating on a firm basis. To date, 213 tickets had been sold. The budget included all major sports. A few of the items included are as follows: ticket sales for football and basketball games for junior and senior high school — $9,157.19. Expenses included team travel — $1,075.35; renovation and purchase of new equipment — $3,581.00; Team expenses away from home — $600; Game expenses (guards, clean-up of stadium, lights, lining field) $650; Game officials, $1,000; insurance - $450; medical supplies — $70; guaranteers to visiting teams, films and photographic equipment, Arkansas Athletic Association dues, equipment repair and miscellaneous added up to $9,148.65. 25 years ago (1983)

day school. They courted about a year before they married always under the watchful eye of parents. “We walked and I led the horse behind us. If her dad had caught both of us riding together on the back of that horse, he would have shot us. That kind of thing, then, was strictly against the rules.” On April 21, 1929, they tried to slip off and get married without an audience. However, it didn’t work out. Erkle’s sister discovered the plan and told everyone. About the time the ceremony was to begin, Goss said, “Here come 10 or 15 people from Sunday school to watch us.” Regardless of the audience, they became husband and wife and were married 63 years at the time of her death in March 1992 and had three children, Maxine, Bill and Stanley. “That preacher had us stand crossways with the cracks in the floor,” Goss recalled. “That way, he said, we wouldn’t always be cross.” When he asked what he owed, the preacher told him to pay him “according to the way you think you’ve been benefited.” He paid the preacher $1.50 and had 50 cents left in his pocket. They moved in with his parents for about seven months before getting their own place. The cost of their first iron bedstead set him back $15. They bought it at a “big furniture store” in Conway. Although he remembers both, Goss was too young to serve during World War I and he was exempt during World War II to serve due to his farming operation. Farmers were required to complete a questionnaire, he said. Those with sufficient points were exempt. He had more than enough points, he concluded. There were years that Mother Nature was kind and the crops paid off and others when the crops failed due to draught or insect infestations. Wars, illnesses, and other events also figured into the farming economic outlook. Things began to change a lot in the late ’40s. In 1948, electricity was available to their farm house. “That was a great boost,” he said. “Then, we got an indoor toilet and running water.” The government also began a “rehab deal,” allowing you to borrow money with a low interest rate. “The one row tractors came in about that time,” he said. Although they were scarce, Goss managed to purchase one, a cultivator and a mowing machine bargaining to pay $1,000 for the package. However, Mother Nature didn’t cooperate and Goss found himself head over heels in debt with no money to pay. “1949 was a wet year,” he recalled. “Then, there were the boll weevils. On 40 acres, I made about three bales. That left me in

VILONIA — Herbert Goss is unsure whether he will renew his driver’s license when the time comes in two more years. He’s leaning toward letting them lapse. By that time, his brown Chevrolet station wagon will have several miles on it and so will he. A spry Goss shares that he was born Nov. 17, 1908. A couple of months shy of his 100th birthday, in reference to his driving, he said, “I pick my places now — I don’t go out on the freeway.” It’s not his skills, however, that he is worried about. He’s been driving nearly nine decades and has only received three traffic citations and two of those were for running stop signs, he said. “Texas rolls,” he explained, a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eyes. He’s also had one wreck. “It wasn’t no fault of mine,” he concluded. Still a bit riled about a citation he received a couple of years ago for expired vehicle licenses tags, he believes that charge was unwarranted. He was driving in Little Rock when a police officer, flashing his blue lights, pulled him to the side. Prior to that, Goss said, he was “happy as a lark,” taking care of business and didn’t realize anything was wrong. He informed the officer, he said, that he was used to receiving a notice in the mail reminding him to renew. This time, the notice didn’t come. “I tried to tell him it wasn’t my fault,” Goss said. Regardless, he was issued a citation. In response, he went to the courthouse prepared to protest. A judge assessed his situation and advised him to pay the fine prior to his court date saying he had committed the crime regardless of the circumstances. “I walked across the hall and paid it because I decided it was the cheapest way out — not because I was guilty,” he explained. The cost $103, he offered. Raised six miles southeast of Vilonia in the Cypress Valley community, Goss said, he had a typical childhood. He was delivered by a “Dr. Burns.” “When he delivered me, the fee was $5. That was a bargain,” he joked. His parents, “Will and Emma,” were farmers. They worked through the week and went to church on Sundays. If Will said a gray horse was white, Emma said it was white also, he said, describing his parent’s tight-knit relationship. They were married in 1895 after his father’s first wife died due to illness. The family knew the sting of rural poverty but perhaps were luckier than some around the country. They raised most of what they ate and sold what they didn’t use. He has memories of butchering hogs and taking wagon loads

As a youngster, Goss contracted influenza — a pandemic that killed many in the United States. Although he recovered, he said, he would suffer with “malaria chills” until he was about 13. “It was in World War I, I got that flu,” he said. “It made you so weak. Lots of people died. I was one of the lucky ones.” A youngster, he recalls, it was a common sight to see folks traveling the “Big Road,” from Beebe to Conway by horse and buggy. “All the gypsies traveled by wagon down that road,” he shared. “They would camp out along the road. We kids were scared to death of them.” Goss has seen the introduction of many new inventions and the advancement of others including electricity, running water, electric washing machines, telephones, airplanes, air conditioning, refrigerators and automobiles. Goss saw his first automobile, a Chevrolet touring car, when he was about 6 years old. The owner of that fine automobile had 12 children. One Sunday, Goss and his sister jumped at the chance for a ride — even though it meant riding on the fenders. “It was amazing to see something going down the road without a horse or mule pulling it,” he added. Regarding formal education, Goss said, “I didn’t make it out of the seventh-grade.” By the time he was 11, he was

Today’s Highlight in History: One hundred years ago, on Sept. 23, 1908, one of baseball’s most famous blunders occurred in a game between the New York Giants and the visiting Chicago Cubs. With the score tied 1-1 in the bottom of the ninth and two runners out, the Giants batted in what should have been the winning run. However, Fred Merkle, who was on first base, began to leave the field apparently without bothering to tag second; the Cubs then claimed to have forced Merkle out. Merkle was eventually ruled out, negating the winning run and leaving the game tied. (The

He drove from Vilonia nearly to Conway with his father in the passenger seat. “We carried some seed and a bale or two of cotton to Conway to sell,” he recalled. “Papa was always with me. He never learned to drive a car. I did his driving for him.” When the crops were “laid by,” they hauled peaches from their trees to Little Rock to be sold. His first trip to the Fort Roots area proved to be a challenge. The drive up the hill was memorable. “I would go as far as I could go,” Goss described the trip. “Papa would get out and scotch the truck with a big rock and I would go a little further.” By the time he was 15 or 16, he was running a delivery truck and taxi route of sorts hauling farmer’s milk. The Faulkner County Dairy Association, he explained, bought whole milk. He ran a route from near the White County Line to Conway. People would milk their cows in the morning, he said, and set it along the side of the road (which is now U.S. Highway 64) and he would pick it up and transport it to Conway to be processed. “I tried to make it about the same time every morning,” he said. “They would do what they had to do to keep the milk cool until I got there.” In addition, folks needing a lift to Conway could ride along if they had a quarter . Also, if he had space, he would haul staples such as flour and meal on the return trip to outlying businesses. He met the love of his life, Erkle Stanley, in 1928 probably at Sun-

UCA from Page 1A Dr. Kurt Boniecki, president of the UCA Faculty Senate, said the students, staff and faculty should make up the majority of this committee, as their confidence in the next president is crucial. “A university president that does not have the support of those very important stakeholders will be doomed to fail before he or she even begins,” Boniecki said. Boniecki said despite the events of the summer months concerning former president Lu Hardin’s $300,000 bonus and the controversial memo he wrote in support of it, he feels heartened by recent gestures by the board to restore transparency. “I feel like we have turned a corner and are preparing to travel down the road to building a better UCA,” Boniecki said. However, he said some of the wording in the drafted proposal seems to go in an opposite direction, adding some of the statements “create a perception that the process really is a sham.” The final paragraphs of the proposal state “the Board of Trustees shall make the final selection of candidates and may include any additional candidates should they so choose regardless of their consideration by the Advisory Search Committee.” The document continues, “At any time the Board of Trustees may decide to suspend the process by the Advisory Search Committee and complete the final screening of candidates.” Boniecki said he did not feel this language was necessary as it is already clear the final decision lies with the board and the addition of these statements may make the committee’s opinion seem immaterial. However, Randy Sims, board chairman, said the latter clause was listed in the draft because it is one the board had to implement during its last presidential

selection process. “When the search committee got it down to six, we took it from there,” Sims said. “It wasn’t us taking any power away from the search committee. We just wanted to look at all six.” Campus involvement in the search to fill the presidency was already evident Monday night as groups of students filled several rows of seating in the boardroom. Drew Aylesworth, president of the Student Government Association, said it is imperative the students have a voice in the decision. “You can look around this room and see just how many students have a vested interest in this process,” Aylesworth said. “We don’t have a list or a bag of attributes we want to see, what we do want is an active spot on the committee, a voting spot on the committee.” Karen Sullards, a member of the UCA Alumni Association board, said the university’s next president should be able to balance the needs of his or her constituents with the current needs of the students and faculty. She added keeping the lines of communication open between alumni and the search committee is vital. UCA Foundation Board member Sue Snow Cooper was also on hand to offer comments on behalf of the foundation. She said important roles of the next president will be to act as a fundraiser, set goals, define priorities, have a vision for the future and maintain solid credibility. “I think he or she needs to be able to communicate well

with faculty, with students and with alumni and with students,” Cooper said. “And also be willing to help with major fundraisers and major gifts.” Aside from open communication in the process, another factor agreed upon by several of the meeting’s speakers was the importance of academics in the consideration of candidates. This point was heavily discussed by Carol Daves, president of the UCA Staff Senate, who said there may be nothing more important to a university than the search for its president. “We want the next president to be someone who is intelligent, who can come here and take UCA to a level of academics,” Daves said. “I want to see someone with a Ph.D. running this university. I think someone who has gone through the full educational process and really understands education from freshman level through the doctoral process will get it. It’s time to do a little more for academics.” Board members asked Daves if she thought having business-minded candidates was important as well. She said she hopes the search draws well-rounded candidates and stressed the search should be a national one. Boniecki also weighed in on this discussion by answering the board’s question of academics versus business with a question of his own. “What is the main purpose of this university?” Boniecki asked, which was answered by scattered applause throughout the boardroom. “Academics is the answer.

our students is the main purpose of this university.” Daves and Boniecki also stressed they were both in favor of hiring a search consultant or firm to aid in the process. Daves said there are many high-level candidates who will not apply for a position based on the fact that a consultant was not used. “It’s not so much for guidances as it is about the ability to recruit,” Daves said. “The truth is there is a level of confidentiality. A lot of these candidates don’t want their institutions to know they’re looking.” Courtway said there is a question of whether the candidates’ information will be public or private. He told the board he believes if a search is paid for using private funds through the UCA Foundation, the information will likely be private, but if it is paid for with state money, it should be open to the public. Another question of legality arose when discussing whether the advisory search committee will have the ability to discuss candidates and their résumés in executive session. He said he believes if the committee is deemed to be an arm of the Board of Trustees, their meetings will be open to the public and they will have the right to executive sessions; however, any votes must be made in public. Courtway said he will look into these questions before the search process is approved and further decisions are made. Before the meeting came to a close, Sims asked both the board and the campus representatives to review their notes and forward their suggestions to Courtway. He said either a conference call or another board meeting will soon be called to approve the selection process with appropriate changes made.

He landed a job working at Kroger in Little Rock in 1949. “I sold my milk cows and paid what I owed.” He drove back and forth to work 14 years before he moved to Little Rock in 1963. He retired from Kroger Nov. 15, 1970. These days, Goss lives with his daughter, Maxine Higgins, in Little Rock. Their relationship is one that involves a lot of teasing and kidding not that much unlike her childhood. Her dad , she said, would entertain the family with his gig dancing and their mom would double clap to add to the mix. Maxine recalls the entire family would go to the cotton fields and pick. Her job, she said, included fetching water to drink. They would also sit in the shade at lunch time, she recalled, and eat onions and cornbread. The family has rubbed elbows with the famous. That is if you count shaking hands with Eddie Arnold at a campaign event for a gubernatorial candidate in Faulkner County. They sang the cattle call all the way home, Maxine recalled. Her dad, who has seen 18 presidents in office, is preparing to vote in the November election. He has voted all the presidential elections, as far as she knows, since he’s been old enough to cast his ballot. He’s not sharing who he will be voting for this year other than “the best man.” His favorite president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, the “working man’s president,“ and who established the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), a work relief program for young men from unemployed families, established on March 21, 1933.

business with him. Longevity, however, runs in his genes and he hasn’t been sick that much. He takes little medicine--a pill in the morning for his blood pressure and one for acid reflux. Some of his good fortune, he said, may have to do with his diet. “I eat about like a horse,” he said. “Not quite as much.” Laughing at her father, Maxine affirms his appetite. His “main staple,“ she said is buttermilk and cornbread. He doesn’t like to eat sandwiches for lunch but he doesn’t mind a big bowl of beans and cornbread. For breakfast, she said, he always eats the same thing which consists of a threecourse meal. His first course is a bowl of oats and a cup of coffee. He follows with a scrambled egg, brown gravy and sausage. His third course is a half-cup of applesauce and Cheerios and milk. What’s the greatest invention in his lifetime? “I would say the tractor,” he said, referencing his younger years as a farmer. “I imagine the mules were pretty proud of it too.” Handing down some sage advice, he said, one should always pay attention to what is being said rather than taking anything for granted. Providing an example, he tells about a co-worker who once asked him for 50 cents to purchase a pack of cigarettes. He gave the man the 50 cents. About three weeks later, he asked the man to repay his half-dollar and the man refused. The man told him that he didn’t owe him a penny. “He said, he didn’t borrow it from me — that he had asked me to give it to him,” Goss said. “And, that’s what he did.” A birthday party is planned for Goss from 3 to 5 p.m. on Nov. 15 at the Levy United Methodist Church, 47th and Allen streets, in North Little Rock with his friends and family invited. He will also be honored by his church Nov. 16, as it has been declared Herbert Goss Day.

More anxiety on Wall Street: Stocks dive, oil soars

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Elation in the financial markets over the $700 billion bank bailout plan evaporated Monday and was replaced by all-too-familiar anxiety, pummeling stocks and sending oil prices to their biggest one-day gain. Worries that the rescue package would cost too much, drive up inflation, swell the alreadybloated deficit and hurt the ailing economy also led global investors to flee the U.S. dollar. The Dow Jones industrials lost 372 points, wiping out the gains the index made Friday af-

ter administration officials and congressional leaders promised swift action to get bad debt off the books of banks and end the financial crisis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Investors had a weekend to look at the news that was streaming out, and they are now finding fault in it,â&#x20AC;? said Joseph Battipaglia, market strategist in the private client group at the investment firm Stifel Nicholaus. Oil prices briefly spiked more than $25 a barrel before falling back to settle at $120.92, up $16.37, on the New York Mercantile Exchange. That shat-

tered the previous record for a one-day jump in crude oil, $10.75. Monday was also the last day for investors to trade the October oil futures contract, adding fuel to the rally. But the November contract also saw a sharp gain, up $6.62 to $109.37. The government agency that regulates commodities markets said it was working with Nymex to â&#x20AC;&#x153;ensure that no one is taking advantage of the current stresses facing our financial marketplace for their own manipulative gain.â&#x20AC;?

Organized by the family of the late Terry Gallahar, the event is in his honor. At age 19, Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life was cut short when he died in a jet ski accident at Beaver Fork Lake Aug. 6, 1991. The proceeds from the event will go toward purchasing childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books to be given away at the Vilonia Parenting Center on family book nights held throughout the

school year in Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honor. Also assisting with the event, Jeannie Grissom, Parent Center Coordinator, said the theme for the fair was chosen to reflect Terry and the Gallahar familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for â&#x20AC;&#x153;country living.â&#x20AC;?

Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s broadcast at Donald W. Reynolds Performance Hall coincided with the opening night at The Met.

Friday night It’s high school football For a few hours the prevalent financial troubles, the Obama and McCain, Biden and Palin drudgery, the war in Iraq, the devastation of Ike are pushed into the background. Approaching car and mortgage payments and unwelcomed visits from relatives are quieted for awhile. It’s Friday night. It’s high school football time. It is supposedly one of those Texas things, the several hours each week when high school football reigns supreme. Forget Texas. We have some most enjoyable, exciting and entertaining Friday nights in the fall right here in Faulkner County. The most recent Friday night had us choose a football game at Vilonia. The opposition was Beebe — neighboring rival and a team unbeaten in two previous starts and rated equal with the hometown Eagles. Kickoff time was 7:30, and at 5:30, two hours prior, people were parking and making their way into Philip Weaver Stadium, the name from an Eagle player of some years back who died in a car wreck. By 6 o’clock, the lines were lengthening at both ticket booths on the home side of the field. Peewee cheerleaders were assembling under the guidance of the high school cheerleaders. Trays of food were carried to the press box. Smiles abounded, greetings were shouted, backs were clapped, hands clasped and hugs rendered. Vilonia turns out for football games. It’s a community thing in the fullest sense. Students, teachers, parents, shopkeepers and just interested persons without kids in school strolled into the stadium. Vilonia has never won a state football championship. The Eagles play in 5A-West, one of the toughest, most competitive leagues you can find, regardless of classification. That doesn’t matter. The Eagles win more games than they lose year after year, and no opponent mentions Vilonia and cupcake in the same sentence. Then the Vilonia band comes into the stadium. Here is a special treat, a highlight, a “wow” evoker. The band parades the full circuit of the track, a quarter-mile, in its entry display. In ranks of four, the members stretch from goal line to goal line. They are a proud unit, an equal to most anything you’ll find at a Southeastern Conference stadium. Band builder Steve Platt is gone now, but this legacy of his and the school and the community appears even stronger. It’s a comfortable night, with kickoff temperature in the low 70s. Beebe scores first, then Vilonia gets part of it back with a field goal. The game is close all the way, and Vilonia winds up milking the clock, as fans and coaches say, to post a 19-14 victory. Traffic is thick after the game. Most people aren’t in a hurry to get away and get home. They hang around, visiting, talking over the action they have just witnessed. A double line forms a corridor to the dressing room for Eagle players with claps and shouts of “nice game.” It takes a community to make all this happen. Traditions abound at the Vilonia games, though no Eagles have gone on to the professional ranks and only a handful to college acclaim. Along with Philip Weaver’s name on the stadium, there is Charlie Roller’s name on a facilty. The radio broadcaster repeatedly mentions the Tony Rodgers Halftime Show. Like Steve Platt, these are Vilonia icons. For several hours Friday night, assorted other worries, concerns and activities were forgotten or ignored. Nobody said, “How ‘bout them Hogs?” Nobody wondered aloud about Arkansas against Alabama the next day. This was Friday night, high school football night at Vilonia.

Global warming on a honeymoon So far Mike Beebe is in a tie with Dale Bumpers as the most effective governor in the state’s history. But Beebe is all alone way out front as the luckiest. He got bequeathed a billion extra dollars and a generally healthy treasury. So he was able to cut the sales tax on groceries while funding nearly every need and many of his and legislators’ wants and whims. One of those needs was to throw enough money at public school facilities to get the onerous Lake View case closed by the Arkansas Supreme Court, which happened. Then he had the good fortune of a Republican businessman, Sheffield Nelson, to cover his right flank so he could raise the severance tax on natural gas. But it’s been my experience that honeymoons end. Sometimes I wonder what might end this joy ride. I’ve come up with three potential interruptions. One is that the national economic disaster would actually begin to affect remote and curiously immune Arkansas. That would impair Beebe’s healthy revenue stream and render him unable to make further promised cuts in the grocery tax while throwing money at every problem. The second is that troubles in the state’s regulation of foster care could reveal more vivid examples of bureaucratic bungling and insensitivity. Further analysis of those issues can await another day, as, for that matter, can a thorough policy analysis of this third potential honeymoon-ender. For today I merely want to put this potential political minefield on the table. Owing to the dictates of a legislative act, Beebe set up a commission on global warming, which will report Oct. 31. He told it that environmental responsibility need not conflict with economic development, which is easy to say and, of course, hooey.

john brummett Those interests would not conflict only if we changed our economic model and became reliant on employers and providers who were heavily invested in renewable resources and alternative sources of energy. But, of course, our rural economy is wholly dependent on what actually exists in Arkansas instead of what might be in Utopia. We take from the land, not the sun or the wind, and we befoul the air with our pickup trucks and many of our major income sources. So you have the Arkansas Electric Cooperative Corp., an association of rural electric cooperatives serving the electricity needs of much of the state. AECC is not political, per se, by which I mean to say it is, of course, wholly political. It owes its existence to rural electrification, largely a Democratic initiative nationally through FDR and a Democratic initiative in the state championed by the late Gov. Sid McMath. AECC wants to be partowner and part-user of that coal plant that a consortium wants to build in Hempstead County in southwestern Arkansas. Coal is a carbon-emitting, nonrenewable resource. Building a new coal plant today sounds anachronistic, and, in fact, it would be anachronistic in many places. The power companies behind this coal plant picked Arkansas for a reason, that being that we’re backward. Beebe’s position is that nuclear energy would be better than

coal, as long as nuclear was safe, but that coal can’t be done away with immediately and, if we build this coal plant, it needs to be as clean as possible. Let me interpret that for you: He said, “Blah, blah, blah.” Then he said, “Mumbo, jumbo.” Gary Voight, the chief executive office of AECC, sits on this global warming commission. Meantime he has his chief lobbyist, old Democratic operative Carmie Henry, once an aide to David Pryor, writing pieces in the co-ops’ official magazine quoting the few scientists he can find who will say that, well, yeah, there might be some global warming, and, well, yeah, carbon emissions might be a factor, but that, well, most of this warming is natural, not man-made. More to the point, the co-ops are saying that, well, yeah, maybe we need to switch to other ways of making electricity, nuclear and renewable, but that is going to take decades and the rural human need is now. So, you see, we need in the vital shorter term to approve this new and supposedly clean coal-fired plant. By clean, they mean not as dirty as before. I’m just putting out the idea that Beebe could get caught in the ringer between his own global warming commission and the powerful political forces of the embedded rural Arkansas economy. I’m also intimating that, if forced to choose one side or the other, Beebe probably will choose the embedded Arkansas economy and the power of its political network. Environmentalists aren’t going to vote Republican. But those dependent on the rural economy have voted that way before and might again.

If the events of recent days prove anything, it is that we cannot believe a word that John McCain or Barack Obama has said about what he will do as president. It’s not that they have lied. Simply put, the underlying premise of everything the candidates have proposed — that the economy is fundamentally sound — is no longer operational. The candidates know that the economy needs help. Obama in particular has made clear that he believes that average people are hurting and need additional government assistance. McCain has been less willing to say so lest it reflect badly on the policies of George W. Bush, whose party he represents. Nevertheless, it is extremely unlikely that either man envisioned the magnitude of the economic problems that are becoming more obvious by the hour. Now, federal officials are crafting an entity akin to the Resolution Trust Corporation to buy up bad debts and get them off bank balance sheets. That’s how the RTC cleaned up the savings and loan mess in the early 1990s — to the tune of about $125 billion. Today’s problems will cost a lot more. What this means is that we cannot afford either candidate’s tax and spending plans. The money that Obama would like to spend on the poor will have to be used to clean up the financial mess. Similarly, the tax cuts that McCain would like to hand out are off the table. The federal government is going to need new revenue and fast. We cannot continue to cut taxes as if the budget deficit doesn’t matter. The fundamental problem of the U.S. economy is too much debt. Fixing that will require belt-tightening from everyone — including the federal government, which must get its fiscal house in order to help the financial sector heal. Voters should insist that McCain and Obama throw out their tax and spending plans and offer something that reflects current economic realities. These new plans must be more than vague generalities and should commit the next president to a course of action that involves real spending cuts and real tax increases. Of course, the idea of a candidate telling voters that they will suffer if he is elected runs counter to every political instinct. But it is not necessarily politically fatal. In 1992, Bill Clinton put forward a fairly detailed list of spending cuts and tax increases and was, nevertheless, elected. The trick will be getting both Obama and McCain to put forward budget restructuring packages so one isn’t unfairly penalized for his honesty. People deserve to know whether the next president thinks we only need to raise taxes on the rich or only need to eliminate earmarks in the budget to solve our fiscal problems. This will tell them whether the next president is a serious person or intellectually dishonest about the nature of the nation’s fiscal problem. It would be useful for both candidates to work from the same benchmark, such as reducing the projected deficit by $1 trillion over 10 years. That would pretty much eliminate the use of “smoke and mirrors” and unserious proposals. If one candidate wants to raise taxes by, say, $1 trillion, then he should say so and spell out how. If he thinks we can get $1 trillion out of the income tax without burdening middle- and lower-income workers, let’s hear how. If he thinks we can cut spending by that much, he should explain how. If he thinks it can be done without significantly cutting popular programs such as Medicare, I for one would like to know how. Perhaps a consortium of think tanks would agree to jointly score the plans for honesty and accuracy. Realistically, a deficit reduction package of the magnitude that I suggest would require a variety of tax increases and spending cuts, including cuts in entitlements and appropriated funds. It’s probably realistic to assume that the balance would be roughly 50-50 between taxes and spending, though each candidate could offer a different balance. But if the proposed package is so one-sided as to make enactment by Congress impossible, this is also useful information for voters. The time for free lunches is past. We must get McCain and Obama to put forward new economic plans. The people deserve to know what is really going to happen in January, and our next president should know whether voters support his vision. With an electoral mandate, quick action in Congress may be possible. And right now we need quick and decisive action if we are to right the economy.

TheSideline Bears make jump in football polls The University of Central Arkansas Bears made a huge jump in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision polls Monday, moving to No. 12 in The Sports Network’s poll and to No. 15 in the FCS Coaches’ Poll. UCA, 4-0 for the first time since 2004, moved up six spots in the TSN poll and one spot in the coaches’ poll. The Bears, who travel to Football Bowl Subdivision-foe Tulsa, No. 32 in the AP poll, are coming off a 51-6 victory over Quincy University in which they had 595 yards of total offense and held the Hawks to 223 yards. UCA is off next week before opening Southland Conference play on Oct. 11 against Sam Houston State at home at Estes Stadium.

Plenty of sunshine in Bears’ latest victory A

By DAVID MCCOLLUM LOG CABIN STAFF WRITER

Monday was silver lining day — for the Bears’ offense, defense, special teams and injury situation — at the weekly Bearbacker luncheon. “I told our offense last night that I probably have been too hard on them, but I have such high expectations,” said University of Central Arkansas coach Clint Conque. “We’re trying to develop an offense that doesn’t have to lean so much on big plays, and it’s been frustrating. I think we left at least 17 points on the field Saturday (a 51-6 vic-

tory over the NAIA’s Quincy) but we still scored 51 points, got almost 600 yards in offense and we’re averaging 39 points a game over four games. And we’re missing two regular offensive lineman (guards Brad Gordon, ankle injury, and Austin

Emerson, staph infection,) and we lost another (center Casey Thurber, knee injury), during the game.” On defense, Conque has seen a positive aspect from the openinggame knee injury to tackle Taylor Scott, who returned to play about 10 plays against Quincy, and is ready to go Saturday against Tulsa. “Not having Taylor allowed us to work young people in like Hutton Andrew and Trey Lippe, who took advantage of the opportunity,” Conque said. “Because of their emergence, we have been able to move Taylor back to defensive end, where he was all-conference last season, and work him in the rotation with

Central Arkansas women’s basketball coach Matt Daniel has suspended freshman Aly Sherman for a violation of program standards. “I don’t anticipate this being an issue in the future, but we’re sending a message of how we’re going to run this program,” said Daniel, in his first year leading the UCA program. Sherman, a 5-foot-10 freshman guard from Mount Vernon, Texas, will be excluded from Midnight Madness activities and the Hendrix exhibition game Nov. 6 in the Farris Center. The Sugar Bears open the 2008-09 regular season at Louisiana Tech on Nov. 14.

Fayetteville Woodland and Little Rock Christian derailed a potential championship matchup between Conway Blue and Conway White on Saturday in the Lady Kitten Junior Volleyball Tournament. In semifinal matchups, Little Rock Christian defeated Conway White, 26-24, 21-25, 25-23, and Woodland downed Conway Blue 25-22, 25-7. Woodland went on to take the title with a 32-30, 25-20 victory over Little Rock Christian. “We played great during pool play, and I just knew we were going to be facing Conway Blue in the final game; I was very disappointed we didn’t, but overall, we played well,” said Jenni Harrison, coach of Conway White. “Little Rock Christian was tough; they were hitting from all three spots, but we haven’t played against that just yet.” Five of the 12 teams reaching bracket play were from Faulkner County.

FRISCO, Texas — University of Central Arkansas senior middle blocker Emily Gordon was named the Southland Conference Offensive Player of the Week for volleyball Monday. The 6-foot, Round Rock, Texas, native was honored for her performance at the Sugar Bear Classic over the week. Gordon was named the most valuable player while hitting .643 with 3.44 kills per set. She recorded two of the four highest single match hitting percentages in school history, hitting .769 with 10 kills against ArkansasPine Bluff and .750 with 10 kills against Louisiana-Monroe. Gordon also had 11 kills with a .471 attack rate in UCA’s conference opener against Northwestern State. Gordon currently leads the SLC with a .461 hitting percentage. The Sugar Bears will continue to host conference play this weekend when they host Stephen F. Austin at 7 p.m. in the Prince Center on Friday night and McNeese State at 4 p.m. Saturday.

Larry Hart, who is a special player. Just having to play 30 snaps a game instead of 60 will make Larry Hart ever more effective. At the other end, we can now rotate Quad Sanders, who is also really playing well, with Markell Carter, who is coming on strong. So, there was a real silver ling to Taylor’s injury.” Conque noted that against Quincy, UCA defenders missed eight tackles — “and three of them were on one play” — had 14 tackles for loss, yielded an average of .7 per rush, got three sacks from Hart and gave up two field goals “and we played a lot of people.”

Razorbacks get second chance to prepare for one game By ALEX ABRAMS STEPHENS MEDIA GROUP

FAYETTEVILLE — Monday felt a bit like Groundhog Day. Everything that had happened two weeks ago was oddly played out for a second time. Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino was again asked about facing seventh-ranked Texas, and his players spent another Monday afternoon watching film on the Longhorns. Not surprisingly, Texas coach Mack Brown felt a sense of deja vu as he began preparing for the second time this season to host Arkansas in Austin. “We’ve already had the Arkansas press conference once,” Brown said. “So I guess we can have it again and rewind.” Rewind is exactly what the Razorbacks (21) and Longhorns (3-0) have had to do over the past day to get ready for a game that was sup-

posed to have been played 10 days ago. Arkansas was originally scheduled to renew its old Southwest Conference rivalry with Texas on Sept. 13. But three days before kickoff, officials from both schools decided to postpone the game because of Hurricane Ike. In a sense, this is a second chance for both teams to prepare for one another. And the change in plans has at least made it easier on everyone heading into Saturday’s 2:30 p.m. makeup game in Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. “We had a game plan in place for Arkansas two weeks ago before Ike,” Texas running back Chris Ogbonnaya said. “Now I’m sure we are going to tweak it a little bit and change a few things.” Monday is typically the day when Arkansas’ players get their first chance to study film of their next opponent.

Trinity University swept Hendrix College in two soccer matches Sunday at Warrior field. The Trinity men, ranked second in the country, took a 4-0 victory. Hendrix’s Kent Coombs accumulated three shots on goal. Hendrix falls to 2-4 overall and 0-2 in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference action while Trinity improves to 7-0-and 2-0 in league action. The Tigers went ahead early when junior forward Ben Grossman scored back-to-back goals with the first coming in the eighth minute and second in the 18th. Trinity managed to put the ball in the back of the net once before (39:17) the break and then once after halftime (73:54). Hendrix first-year midfielder Duncan Keegan tallied three shots on the day, while first year defender Jonathan Birdwell and junior midfielder D.J. Mello both had one shot at the goal. WOMEN The 21st-ranked Tigers took a 5-0 victory. Hendrix fells to 3-3 overall and 0-2 in SCAC action while Trinity improved to 3-2-1 overall and 1-1- in league action. The Tigers scored their first goal just nine minutes into the contest and managed one more goal in the 41st minute, taking a 2-0 lead into the break. Trinity junior midfielder Julia Zangirolami scored two quick back-toback goals in the 70th and 75th minute before first-year midfielder Dana Carter found the back of the net with two minutes remaining in the affair. Junior forward Caitlin McGeehan tallied two of the Warriors’ three shots on the day.

Cowboys not only 3-0, also showing few flaws IRVING, Texas (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys showed off their defense in the opener, strutted their stuff on offense in the second game and won the third with a nice combination. Being 3-0 puts them among the league’s few unbeaten teams. The lack of weaknesses they’ve shown so far might keep them around the top for quite awhile. “We’re slowly starting to jell and that’s huge as we get farther along in the season,” defensive tackle Tank Johnson said Monday. “That’s what the regular season is for, jelling for the postseason.” Sure, it’s only September, but January is never far from the minds of anyone in the Cowboys’ organization, especially these days, with a playoff victory drought that dates to 1996. That’s tough for any club, even more so for a club with five Lombardi Trophies on display in the foyer. Jerry Jones has spent a lot of money to make things different this season and the early results are promising. One early return on his investment came Sunday night

with a 27-16 victory over Green Bay; it was the franchise’s first-ever win at Lambeau Field. Other promising signs for the Cowboys: —Their offense has gained the most yards in the NFL and scored the second-most points, much of it coming against tough foes Philadelphia and Green Bay. Dallas also did well Sunday night despite a shaky performance by Tony Romo, who might’ve been trying too hard in his first start in his home state, and with Terrell Owens gaining only 17 yards, his fewest since 2003 (two teams ago). Instead, offensive coordinator Jason Garrett turned to the running game and got a career-best 142 yards and a touchdown from Marion Barber and 76 yards from rookie Felix Jones, most of it on a 60-yard touchdown. “It’s nice that you can take whatever they give you,” coach Wade Phillips said. Even while underperforming against Green Bay, Romo threw a 52-yard touchdown pass on a thirdand-20 and Owens did more than

AD talks about future of Little Rock games LITTLE ROCK (AP) — When Jeff Long took over as Arkansas’ athletic director, he was apparently ready to stop scheduling football games in Little Rock. Long said as much Monday while speaking at the Little Rock Touchdown Club. The Razorbacks agreed a month ago to extend their deal with War Memorial Stadium, so they’ll play games in the state capital at least through 2016. But Long said when he arrived at Arkansas, he wondered if that made sense. “I’ll be very frank and admit to you, as I walked in the door when I first took over, I had the belief that certainly we should take every football game to Fayetteville,” said Long, who became athletic director when Frank Broyles retired at the end of last year. “But I’ll be honest: I’ve been now in the state for almost a year. I understand the reason that we play football games in central Arkansas and Little Rock. I’ve come to know the passion that’s in here, in this part of the state. I’ve also come to know that this is a very small state,

and we certainly need all fans, all supporters from all corners of the state supporting us.” Long spoke for about a halfhour about his vision for Arkansas athletics. He wants to expand the Broyles Center at the north end of the Razorbacks’ football stadium in Fayetteville. Long said his No. 1 priority is improving graduation rates, and he said his official title shows the school understands the importance of intercollegiate sports. Long is considered a vice chancellor in addition to athletic director. “For me to have a place at the chancellor’s executive committee, I think it sends a strong message about the University of Arkansas,” Long said. Of course, there was plenty of discussion about the football team, coming off a 49-14 loss to Alabama in its Southeastern Conference opener. “I hope you’re not jumping off any buildings,” Long said. Long expressed confidence that Bobby Petrino is the right coach for the Razorbacks, and that the pro-

gram will consistently contend for SEC championships. “We may not do that this year. We may not do that next year. But it’s coming,” Long said. “It’s coming sooner rather than later.” What’s not coming right now is any abandonment of Little Rock as a site for football games. The Razorbacks play there twice this year. War Memorial Stadium’s commission and the university agreed to drop an obligation that the Razorbacks play three games in Little Rock in two seasons over the coming six years. Other terms of the original contract remain in force, including a provision that the Razorbacks play at least one SEC game each year in Little Rock. During a question-and-answer session, Long was asked about the football team’s series with Texas. The Razorbacks play at Texas this weekend, but the return game has been put off for a while. “I think 2014 they will make the trip back to Fayetteville to complete that series. We’ll be better prepared to handle them,” Long said.

sive and moving flyover. The timing at the “land of the free and home of the brave” of the anthem segment was on-the-dot perfect. That was amazing because the aircraft had taken off from Fort Smith just minutes before. It was a 15-minute trip to Conway. It all was even more impressive when it was noted that Lisa Cooley, UCA’s marketing director, had to go through the Pentagon to get clearance for the flyover. Many folks who visited campus during Hall of Fame Weekend who hadn’t been back for several years, were flabbergasted. The Quincy Hawks, a team that many people couldn’t tell you what state they’re in, came to town and experienced a greater atmosphere than anyone every witnessed for Arkansas Tech or Henderson State. This is not your grandfather’s UCA atmosphere. “It’s really incredible how the culture and mindset has changed,” said UCA coach Clint Conque. “You can see it in everything going on. You can really see it with our student support.” Back at the Helton-OsburnSpencer tailgate, which has benches, tables and small tents, Harold Helton showed off his new toy, a “grillzilla” that can smoke hundreds of pounds of chicken, burgers, shrimp hot dogs and brauts and about anything else you want to toss on it. The late Mickey O’Quinn, the father of UCA associate athletic director Kyle O’Quinn, originally owned the grill. When the former Henderson State coach died earlier in the year, the grill, unused for a few years and deteriorating, was in a storage room. O’Quinn’s mother was looking to get rid of it and readily donated it to the Heltons. Harold and his brother, Bill, spent about $1500 for new parts

and spent most of a weekend cleaning, repairing, and putting in new parts, including wheels, to make the grill functional again. They had to make sure it fit into the “tailgating truck” they got a deal on and fixed up last year to store their equipment for road use. “It got to where we needed something bigger than the trailer we had to take all our stuff (including tents, banners and supplies,” Harold Helton said. “We needed a truck.” The “tailgating truck” has an attachment for a flat screen television and a large speaker system. The Heltons, who also bring their operation to other selected athletic events, simply request a donation to the UCA Foundation. They eventually want to collected enough for an endowed scholarship, then give funds to the UCA Purple Circle after that. UCA’s “Grillzilla” will make its first major road trip this weekend in the biggest major college setting UCA has ever played, at Tulsa. The tailgating crew will join the UCA Alumni Association for the “Tackle Tulsa Tailgate” that will begin at 2 p.m. at Harwell Field, north of Chapman Stadium. Jan Newcomer, director of Alumni Services at UCA, says the university has about 3,000 alumni in the northwest Arkansas/eastern Oklahoma area and many UCA fans, including one chartered bus, are making the trip from central Arkansas. The fans are hoping UCA will come out with plenty of fire against the unbeaten Golden Hurricane. They know they’ll be plenty of smoke beforehand.

mccollum from Page 6a UCA and Quincy, high school band members were relaxing, tossing Frisbees and playing in several impromptu, coed touch football matches on every open spot of green space. Saturday was UCA’s first major “Band Day” in recent history, attracting more than 1,200 high school band members from throughout the state. They all joined the UCA band in a massive halftime performance. Mingled among the tailgates were many small television sets. At one, there was an old-fashioned game of washers (sort of a mini version of horseshoes that was a staple at family picnics in the 1950s and 1960s). Folks were roaming the area asking friends to sign petitions about UCA continuing to shoot off fireworks after scores or after the game, a practice that has become controversial with neighbors. “The fact that people are even debating and circulating petitions about fireworks at UCA games shows how far we have come,” said one fan with a smile, who slipping out of the line of fire toward the charcoal smoke. An hour or so before the game, almost like a sentry at the entrance to the Purple Circle parking lot, stood Tom Courtway — formerly a state senator, formerly a UCA administrator, formerly a Hendrix administrator, formerly UCA’s general counsel and now interim president of the university, who was greeting those pulling in. “The way I can’t seem to keep a job, I probably need the experience helping park cars,” Courtway joked.

just soak up double coverage. On an interception in the end zone, T.O. chased the defender, got blocked to the ground around the 10, then got back up and made the tackle across midfield. Later, he ran interference on Jones’ touchdown. “I’ve been around a lot of (star receivers) and not all of them do that,” Phillips said. “I thought it was special.” —The defense humbled Derek Anderson and Cleveland in the opener, then got humbled by Donovan McNabb and Philadelphia. Vowing to make amends, the Cowboys kept Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay from the end zone until the closing minutes, when the outcome was already decided. Rodgers had been sacked once the first two weeks, but Dallas got him five times. Two were by cornerback Anthony Henry, who never had a sack in his eight-year career, nor in college or even in high school. “I’m going to have to talk to him about that because I’m sure sacks would help me out more than they’d help him out,” said linebacker Bradie James, laughing.

bears from Page 6a up with a very good higherHe continued, “I realize the beast gets a whole lot tougher beginning this week but I like the way we are playing on defense.” The Bears blocked three kicks bringing their season total to five. “We have put two assistant coaches (Brian Early and Matt Williamson) in charge of the kicking game this year, and I’m really pleased with how they are handling things,” Conque said. Saturday night’s game against Tulsa will be a matchup of unbeatens and ranked teams in their respective divisions. UCA (4-0) now has its highest ranking (12th, The Sports Network poll) in NCAA I Football Championship subdivision. Tulsa (30) is rated as a serious BCS bowl game contender and is ranked 32nd in one poll. “We understand what a huge challenge we face, but as competitors you want to compete in games and on a stage like this,” Conque said. “We preparing hard and we’re planning to go to Tulsa and play well and win. That’s the only way I know how to approach it. “This is a very good measuring-stick game as a young Division I (Football Championship Subdivison) program to see gauge how we match

hogs from Page 6a of Texas two weeks ago when they thought the Longhorns — not No. 8 Alabama — were next on the schedule. The only additional film the Razorbacks had to study on Monday was of Texas’ 5210 win over Rice last Saturday. They had already seen everything else. “We pretty much know what they’re going to do. We know they’re going to throw some other things out there,” Arkansas running back Michael Smith said. “But our preparation for them will probably intensify a couple notches. “But as far as are they going to do something totally too much different? We don’t really think so. I think we’ll be OK.”

level team.” ADDITION, SUBTRACTION AND MAYBES: Sophomore offensive lineman Tyler Gray, who has completed a four-game disciplinary suspension, will return to the UCA lineup against Tulsa. A center at Conway High but a guard last year, he’ll work at center this week, Conque said. Tight end Rico Moss is out, possibly for an extended period, after injuring a knee early in the Quincy game. Defensive end Norvel Gabriel is also out indefinitely, possibly with a broken hand. Three offensive linemen, Thurber, Gordon and Emerson) are day-to-day. “But we hope to have at least two of the three back for Tulsa,” Conque said. BROWN THE EFFICIENT: After reviewing the video, Conque said senior quarter Nathan Brown, who completed 15 of 19 passes for 310 yards and four touchdowns against Quincy, made one mistake in the game. “It’s about as close to having a perfect game at quarterback you can get,” Conque said. “He made a misread on one play and it probably cost him a touchdown pass.” Scouts from the San Diego Chargers, New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers were in the press box

Saturday night, and several more pro scouts were on campus Monday. A PLEASANT SURPRISE: Conque said that offensive lineman Joe Lehocky, a redshirt freshman from Albuquerque, N.M., who was one several young players the UCA coaches wanted to get a look at, was one of the bright spots. “He showed the tenacity we’re looking for,” Conque said. “He got after it. Here’s somebody who’s just trying to find himself a spot so he can placed more. We can take the film and show it to some of our older players and tell them that this is how we want them to play.” PLAYERS OF THE GAME: Tight end Marquez Branson, who caught five passes for 175 yards and three touchdowns, and Brown shared the honor on offensive. Hart was the defensive selection by the coaches. “He again tied the school record with three sacks in a game and he would probably have had six if we had left him in the game more,” Conque said. Jerrell McKnight, who blocked one of he kicks, was the special teams player of the week. Chris McKnight of Mayflower earned the “big stick” award while Tyler Lawrence was scout team player of the week.

Arkansas’ coaches have had a scouting report on the Longhorns for the past two weeks. By now, they know all about Texas quarterback Colt McCoy and how new defensive coordinator Will Muschamp likes to blitz. The Razorbacks even spent two days earlier this month practicing for Texas before the game was postponed. In fact, Petrino said Monday that he went back and watched the footage of those two practices to help him prepare for Saturday’s much anticipated game in Austin. “One thing we want to make sure that we do is utilize the two practices that we’ve already had. So we didn’t go and erase all the things that we’ve already worked (on for Texas),” Petrino said. “We just erased some of it,

added a little bit, but we want to make sure that we carry over from those two practices.” Of course, the extra preparation isn’t necessarily an advantage for the Razorbacks. As Petrino noted after last Saturday’s 49-14 loss to Alabama, Texas also had a few days to practice for Arkansas before Hurricane Ike postponed the game. “We’ll just use that extra week. They had that same extra week of preparation that we had,” McCoy said. “We’ll just go back to work on them.” Apparently, preparing a second time for Arkansas could be even simpler than that. “You can basically take what I said last time and just repeat it,” Texas defensive end Brian Orakpo joked.

A park brimming with history

adron Settlement Park is not an area in Faulkner County my family and I visit too often.

Pictured are the first-grade students in Christin Rippy’s class at Ida Burns Elementary School. These kids were recently given the opportunity to share with their community a snapshot of their daily lives while at school. To see these photos and more, visit their photo gallery, LCD School Zone 9.23, at spotted. thecabin.net. Pictured on the front row, from left to right, are Caden Lafleur, Jacyne Battle, Kierah Moore, Lexia Coyne and Reagan Epps; on the middle row are Jaylen Jones, Mattie Mahar, Zoe Plum, Madelyn English, Connor McEntarffer, Zack Meachum and Kaitlynn Ryman; and on the back row are Christin Rippy, teacher, Ashley Allen, Hebert Morales, Jaheim Sandidge, Tim Mosby, Jordan Ausler and LaShai Cyprett. Students not pictured include Landon Shoemaker, Andrea Gray, Daniel Stanford and Tristan Marowski. SUBMITTED PHOTO.

Grade: First School: Ida Burns Elementary School Teacher: Christin Rippy What are the class’ favorite books to read together?

We have loved reading books by the author Kevin Henkes and the Junie B. First Grader books. What has been the students’ favorite topic studied so far? We loved learning about

communities and creating a map of our own community. What are the students’ favorite things to do at recess? The swings and monkey bars are a favorite, but we all enjoy playing on the jump zone.

What has been the best class project so far? We did an “All About Me” college that was so fun. What is the class’ favorite thing to eat in the cafeteria? We love chocolate milk and fruit.

That’s not to say it’s not a nice place, it is just a little far out of the way and there are several parks between my home and there. So I just don’t think of it too often. However, there are a few times out of the year when my job requires me to make my way down Old Morrilton Highway and find myself facing the park entrance sign. And one of my favorite reasons to go brought me there Friday. It was Cadron Settlement Day, a day when a group of eighth-grade students from Carl Stuart Middle School take a journey back in time and assume the lives of famous Arkansas characters in the early 1800s. There were members of the Cherokee tribe that made its way along the Trail of Tears. There were pioneer women who taught travelers how to make dolls, bake bread, weave baskets and make life with what they had. There were lieutenants in the military, armed with guns and tales of war. But most importantly, there were kids, lots of kids, and they were all learning firsthand about our history. These students had been reading, watching and studying the history of Cadron, but most said they didn’t fully comprehend the lessons to be learned until they literally made their way into the settlers’ shoes. The students’ history teachers, who hosted the class project, said living history is always the best way to understand it. And they seemed to have hit the nail on the head. Students who played a part in Cadron Settlement Day, and those who were just there to hear the presenters, took away a lot more than they could have gotten from a textbook. The kids not only learned history, but they learned Faulkner County history. They learned who lived in this area before them and how they lived. And I have to admit I learned quite a bit myself. One of the school’s teachers told me how Cadron barely missed the mark as becoming the state’s capital, all because the politicians happened to live in a place called Little Rock. She also explained how Cadron was a significant point on the Butterfield mail route and the Trail of Tears. With what I learned from both the students and teachers involved in the living history project Friday, I’m now aware that Cadron Settlement Park is absolutely brimming with Arkansas history. And whether you’re an eager young student, or just a local resident, you should take advantage of that. It’s more than a place to take the family for a picnic or a hike in the woods, it’s a place to learn about your heritage and the people of Faulkner County before you. I think that’s worth a few extra miles and more than just a passing thought. (Staff writer Jessica Bauer can be reached by e-mail at jessica.bauer@thecabin.net or by phone at 505-1236.

A group of eighth-grade history students at Carl Stuart Middle School spent the day living in history Friday at Cadron Settlement Park. For the 10th year, a group of kids each played the part of a famous Arkansan in the 1800s and taught visiting students pioneer skills and the ways of life back then. Carl Stuart students who participated included Emily Bailey, Christie Birdsong, Kristen Crawford, Joshua Deaver, Mary Hales, Logan Hampton, Katherine Hicks, Molly Hilburn, Landon Jackson, Emily Luck, Caroline Osborn, Tyler Walters, Ashton Yarberry, Colleen Kremer, Eamonn Mayo, Faith Reed, Victoria McCauley, Geoffrey Carter, Anna Adams, Elisa Detogni, Michael Page, Taylor Routt, Caleb O’Hara, Jace Motley, Landon Morris, Clarissa Long, Dylan Schichtl, Madison Yates, Madison Wiedower and Savannah Gunnell.

Moms debate loading question in supermarket parking lots DEAR ABBY: My women friends and I are having a disagreement about whether we should put our children in the car first, or load our groceries first. One friend says that she starts her car to cool it off, buckles her children in and then loads her groceries. Another friend insists that you should put your kids in last, so if your car gets hijacked your children won’t be in the car. However, I had my baby sitting in the front of the cart while I unloaded my groceries when another car backed up so fast that she came within an inch of hitting my baby in the cart. I let out a blood-curdling scream, and she stopped her car just in time. Wouldn’t it be easier to buckle my older child and baby in the car before unloading my groceries? — PAM IN HOUSTON DEAR PAM: The rule of thumb should be to load your most precious cargo first. Once the children are secured, the groceries can be placed inside. The odds of your car being hijacked are far less than, say, the grocery cart with the child in it rolling away while your hands are occupied with a grocery bag, or, as you have already experienced, an inattentive driver hitting it.

I have smiled all my life, but never dreamed it could make such a difference in someone’s life — especially my own. I promised myself then and there to smile a lot more, and I hope those who read this will resolve to do the same. It takes only 13 muscles to smile, and it’s worth the effort. Look at yourself in the mirror and smile. See the difference? — KATHRYN OF A MILLION SMILES, MANSFIELD, OHIO DEAR KATHRYN: A smile is contagious. It’s an acknowledgment of another person’s worth, and usually an indication that the smiler feels good about him- or herself. And who’s to say — it

might even have something to do with your longevity. Here’s hoping you’ll be sharing that glow for many years to come. DEAR ABBY: Now that election time is nearing, I would like to address a question that invariably comes up this time of year. That is, people asking me who I voted for. I think this is a personal subject. I am registered with a party and support it at election time. Who I vote for is my business. My answer is, “I voted for the person I want to win.” Sometimes this is not good enough for some people, and they insist I tell who I voted for. I just repeat my answer and go on. Any advice on this? — REGISTERED VOTER IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR REGISTERED VOTER: I agree that it’s nobody’s business for whom you voted. What I find interesting is, if I answer the question and my candidate isn’t the one my questioner prefers, I then hear a recitation of the other candidate’s campaign slogans. You are handling the situation correctly.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2008: Realize that you might be dealing with unusual responsibility and demands this year. Don’t worry, as you will step up to the plate and achieve what you want. A parent or older relative could be demanding; do not try to change this person. You could waste time and energy if you do. Money is a vulnerability. You might overspend, justifying this action the whole way. Do not throw caution to the wind. Often, you might act on feelings, causing you to spend. If single, you discover your own desirability. 2009 holds delightful possibilities. If attached, romance builds as the year progresses. For those of the right age, a new addition to the family is possible. CANCER adds to responsibilities but is very confident in your abilities.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You have energy and the ability to get a lot done if you do not get caught up in a passionate and/ or emotional situation. Listen to different ideas, and you might open up to what might be a unique idea. This opens up a door, if not your life! Tonight: All smiles. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HH Use your instincts and follow through on what needs to happen. You hear a lot. Your instincts prove to be protective and may encourage a financial halt, just for now! Playing it conservatively does not hurt. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Zoom in and make what you want happen. You could be a bit uptight, which will not help. On the positive side, you get breathing time and are unlikely to create a problem. Investigate a potential expenditure. Consider it an indulgence, but a worthwhile one. Tonight: Give in to whim.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Investigate options more freely. Know what it is you are seeking, and you might have a better chance to get where you want to go. Others chime in and obviously support you, even if their ideas are very different. Tonight: Others take action. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your creativity emerges in a professional situation in which you might be extremely vested. Take time for some exercise, remembering to keep your body healthy, too. An innovative idea works. Tonight: Run an errand on the way home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your creativity draws solutions. Reach out for more information. As busy as you might be, rely on your intuition. You have a stronger sense of direction than you might realize. Consider a mini getaway. Tonight: Let your feelings lead.
