One in custody after allegedly using pickax in brawl By JOE LAMB LOG CABIN STAFF WRITER

A fight involving several people at the Willow Street Apartments in Conway culminated when a group of men allegedly used a pickax and a twoby-four to beat another man, and then allegedly tried to run over another group of people when they drove from the scene.

When police arrived in response to reports of a large fight in progress at about 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, the fight was over. Officers made contact with those in an apartment from which a 9-1-1 call had been placed, and were told that an injured victim was in a back bedroom. Officers made contact with this victim, a 22-year-old man, who told them that a man he identified

as Mike Jones and five others, including one juvenile, “jumped him” in the apartment complex parking lot. He was left with a broken finger and a bruised eye, according to the report, as well as a laceration on his forearm he said was caused when Jones hit him with a pickax. The pickax was left at the scene, along with a two-by-four the victim said had also been

used to beat him and to smash the rear windshield of his car. These items were dropped after the men kicked open the door of an apartment in pursuit of the victim, who had managed to run inside. When the men saw that he was on the phone with 9-1-1, according to the report, they dropped their weapons and fled. The victim was taken by MEMS to Conway Regional

Medical Center where, as it happened, police located and arrested a suspect listed in the report as 19-year-old Michael Ray Jones Jr. of 401 Second St., Conway, the Mike Jones identified by the victim. Another officer arriving at the scene was flagged down by two women, one a pregnant woman with cuts and scrapes on her hand, shoulder and face she said

The 20th Judicial District of CASA, Court Appointed Special Advocates, is asking for the humanitarians, the people of the community with a heart for children, and the believers in social justice to come forward to volunteer to “be the voice” of abused and neglected children in the district. “We have 47 advocates, each advocate being assigned one or two cases. Our 47 advocates are not able to serve the 153 children in the system. That means we’re serving 67 percent of the children, and the rest go without,” Eirin LewisJeffery, volunteer coordinator said. Jeffery said CASA was only able to serve about 50 percent of children in years past. “We’ve been doing well in recruiting and being recognized by the community, but there’s 33 percent of kids who don’t have anyone to speak for them and that number grows every single day. That number grows every day, of kids we can’t serve,” Jeffery said. According to CASA’s Web site, volunteers are appointed by judges to watch over and advocate for abused and neglected children, “to make sure they don’t get lost in the overburdened legal and social service system or languish in an inappropriate group or foster home.” Advocates will stay with each case until it is closed and the abused or neglected child is placed in a safe and permanent environment. “For many abused children, their CASA volunteer will be the only one constant adult presence — the one adult who cares only for them,” the Web site says. CASA is a unique organization in that it “empowers everyday

Among reports recently released by the Conway Police Department: 1. Residential burglary at 1000 block of Clifton Street. Officers were advised just past noon on Monday that a man was on foot chasing three burglary suspects described as white males. Neither the victim nor the officers were able to locate the alleged burglars in the area, but the victim told officers that he knew one of them. According to his statements to officers, the victim reported hearing a knock on his residence’s back door. He was asleep, he told officers, and so tried to ignore it until it started again, this time very, very loudly, as though someone were trying to kick the door open, and indeed they were, knocking it open just in time for the victim to see who one of them was. According to the report, he addressed the burglary by name and asked him what he was doing. The three fled, two of them carrying duffle bags, with the victim in pursuit. He gave up chasing them, he told police, because he didn’t want to keep running down Prince Street in his boxer shorts. CPD is still looking for the suspect identified by the victim.

2. Criminal Mischief at 1810 Old Morrilton Highway (a Conway Fire Department station). At about 4 a.m. on Tuesday a man describedby firefighters as a white male in his mid-20s with a shaved head knocked on the door of the station and said that he didn’t know where he was and needed to call for a ride. The firefighters let him in to use the phone, and let him stay until someone showed up to collect him. The next morning, it was noticed that the bumper of one of the firefighters’ trucks seemed to have been knocked almost completely off and the side of the fire station seemed to have been hit with great force by an object consistent with a truck’s bumper. The truck in question was completely blocked in by another vehicle, and so a thief wouldn’t immediately have thought that it could be stolen by simply driving it away even though the keys were left in it, according to CFD Assistant Chief Mike Winter, who said that it was also noticed that the truck’s fuel tank was about a quarter less full than it was when it was parked and the heater controls were set to “on,” leading some firefighters to suppose that the stranger may have gotten inside the truck and started the engine

seeking warmth before eventually knocking the truck into gear and causing it to crash into the fire station. At any rate, the stranger’s comments to firefighters and what was overheard in the phone conversation he had when they let him in gave police a good idea of where he may have been employed and when his next shift was to start, and an officer contacted this business requesting a list of anyone who called in sick or failed to show up for work on Tuesday. 3. Residential burglary at 300 block of Salem Road. Victim reported on Monday that at some point between 9:40 a.m. and about 11 p.m. on that day a thief or thieves entered her residence through uknown means and stole two Dell laptops (one pink and one black in color), a Nintendo Wii game console, a HP “three-in-one” printer, a 32-inch Sanyo flatscreen TV, a digital “Flip” video camera, a 19-inch Sanyo flatscreen TV and a DVD player. 4. Residential burglary at 200 block of Willow Street. Victim reported on Monday morning that a thief or thieves tried unsuccessfully to pry and kick open a residence’s door before entering through an open window and stole a Vizio 42-inch Plasma TV,

a PlayStation III game console, a wallet, about $500 worth of clothes, some dishes, some canned food, and about $300 worth of baby clothes. 5. Residential burglary at 600 block of Robins Street. Victim flagged down a passing patrolman at about 4:30 a.m. on Tuesday to report that his wife had been awoken by the sound of barking dogs about an hour prior to seeing the officer and had gotten up to see that a burglar described as a “skinny” white female about 5 feet, 6 inches tall inside the home stealing things. About $28 in cash, a set of car keys, a debit card and a pack of Marlboros were found to be missing. 6. Breaking or entering at 600 block of Robins Street. Victim reported that at some point between 9 p.m. on Monday and about 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday a thief or thieves entered an unlocked vehicle and stole a wallet that had been left sitting on the seat. About $45 in cash was in the wallet.

“What Robbie’s talking about fosters more people with entrepreneurial ideas to go ahead and act on them, and that creates jobs,” Hawkins said. Wills spoke near a Schlumberger facility on Amity Road, and a representative from Chesapeake Energy was present, having arrived in a Chevrolet Tahoe powered by compressed natural gas. Another part of Wills’ plan involves beginning a conversion of federal and state fleet vehicles from gasoline to compressed natural gas — a fuel that Wills is enthusiastic about.

“Natural gas is abundant in the Second District,” he said. “It creates jobs and reduces our dependence on foreign oil and a number of other things that everyone would agree with.” The conversion of federal and state fleet vehicles would, in Wills plan, bring about a need for the infrastructure, in the form of refuelling stations, to support these vehicles. Wills compared this to the need in the opening years of the 20th century to create a gasoline infrastructure, which he said came about in the span of 10 years with the rise of the

gasoline-fueled automobile as a viable means of transportation. Compressed natural gas infrastructure could be put in place as quickly, he said, if it is guided by people in Washington, D.C., with experience in natural gas, “and I’ve got that experience,” referring to his career in the state legislature working with companies tapping the Fayetteville Shale natural gas deposits.

Dempsey, a census supervisor, said. Conway’s growth from 1940 to 1950 was far greater than from 1950-1960. The population in 1940 was 5,782 and in 1950 it was 8,610. The growth in the city proper would be slightly less than 10 percent under the present count.

According to Strickland, volunteers can count on spending 10 to 15 hours a month on the child but some have been known to spend 70 hours, depending on the complexity of the case. “Our judge is very aware of how much time the advocate has spent with the child and everyone involved knows the recommendations brought by the advocate are facts. Advocates on cases spend 10 times more hours on a child than the judges,” Strickland said.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul law will increase the nation’s health care tab instead of bringing costs down, government economic forecasters concluded Thursday in a sobering assessment of the sweeping legislation. A report by economic experts at the Health and Human Services Department said the health care remake will achieve Obama’s aim of expanding health insurance — adding 34 million Americans to the coverage rolls. But the analysis also found that the law falls short of the president’s twin goal of controlling runaway costs, raising projected spending by about 1 percent over 10 years. That increase could get bigger, however, since the report also warned that Medicare cuts in the law may be unrealistic and unsustainable, forcing lawmakers to roll them back. The mixed verdict for Obama’s signature issue is the first comprehensive look by neutral experts. In particular, the warnings about Medicare could become a major political liability for Democratic lawmakers in the midterm elections. The report projected that Medicare cuts could drive about 15 percent of hospitals and other institutional providers into the red, “possibly jeopardizing access” to care for seniors. The report from Medicare’s Office of the Actuary carried a disclaimer saying it does not represent the official position of the Obama administration. White House officials have repeatedly complained that such analyses have been too pessimistic and lowball the law’s potential to achieve savings. The report acknowledged that some of the cost-control measures in the bill — Medicare cuts, a tax on high-cost insurance and a commission to seek ongoing Medicare savings — could help reduce the rate of cost increases beyond 2020. But it held out little hope for progress in the first decade.

“During 2010-2019, however, these effects would be outweighed by the increased costs associated with the expansions of health insurance coverage,” wrote Richard S. Foster, Medicare’s chief actuary. “Also, the longer-term viability of the Medicare ... reductions is doubtful.” Foster’s office is responsible for longrange costs estimates. Republicans said the findings validate their concerns about Obama’s 10-year, nearly $1 trillion plan to remake the nation’s health care system. “A trillion dollars gets spent, and it’s no surprise — health care costs are going to go up,” said Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., a leading Republican on health care issues. Camp added that he’s concerned the Medicare cuts will undermine care for seniors. Congress in the past has enacted deeper Medicare cuts without disrupting service, and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius issued a statement that sought to highlight some positive findings for seniors. For example, the report concluded that Medicare monthly premiums would be lower than otherwise expected, due to the spending reductions. “The Affordable Care Act will improve the health care system for all Americans and we will continue our work to quickly and carefully implement the new law,” the statement said. Passed by a divided Congress after a year of bitter partisan debate, the law would create new health insurance markets for individuals and small businesses. Starting in 2014, most Americans would be required to carry health insurance except in cases of financial hardship. Tax credits would help many middleclass households pay their

premiums, while Medicaid would pick up more low-income people. Insurers would be required to accept all applicants, regardless of their health. A separate Congressional Budget Office analysis, also released Thursday, estimated that 4 million households would be hit with tax penalties under the law for failing to get insurance. The U.S. spends $2.5 trillion a year on health care, far more per person than any other developed nation, and for results that aren’t clearly better when compared to

more frugal countries. At the outset of the health care debate last year, Obama held out the hope that by bending the cost curve down, the U.S. could cover all its citizens for about what the nation would spend absent any reforms. The report found that the president’s law missed the mark, although not by much. The overhaul will increase national health care spending by $311 billion from 2010-2019, or nine-tenths of 1 percent. To put that in perspective, total health care spending during the decade is estimated to surpass $35 trillion.

The pink masses of primroses are especially eye-catching on the 124 and 124 exits. Yes, the beauty is short-lived, but let’s enjoy it while we can. And we also give a nod of thanks to whomever ramrodded this project with the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department. A price to pay. While we expressed pleasure over the weather on recent days, we unconsciously reached down and scratched. Yes, it is also tick season. Back when the temperature slid down into single digits, more than one Faulkner County commenter said, “At least this cold should cut down on ticks.” Oh, the ticks are with us now. Our encounters have mostly been with the dreaded seed ticks — those tiny things that are difficult to see but are just as irritating as the bigger ones. Larger than us. Once again, with the clouds of ash from that Iceland volcano we are reminded that nature is bigger than man. Oh, we have wonderful technology on so many fronts here in the 21st century, but we have no answer to events like Katrina and the current volcano thing. Man and his disrupted plane flights seem small in the picture. And, no one can blame this Iceland thing on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or on Louisiana politicians. Remarkable streak. Our second nature shakes a finger at jinxing the Central Baptist College softball team by pointing out the 40-plus string of victories and no defeats this season. True, the team isn’t high profile even in our community, but such an achievement in any sports, any competition, deserves acclaim. The lady Mustang softballers don’t have a super star and don’t overwhelm opponents. They just play a sharp, sound and determined brand of ball. 11 herbs and spices. We have learned to live with a number of elements we don’t like or approve. One is tacking corporate names on major public facilities and events. But money talks, we realize. The latest coming to mind is an impressive new arena in Louisville, Ky., for University of Louisville basketball and other uses. It will be known as the KFC Yum Center. That Yum is the parent company of KFC, Taco Bell and some more fast food operations. Where to draw the line. Controversy has flared at Vilonia over cell phones of students at school. Golly, times have changed. We recall when chewing gum in class was practically a capital offense. We also recall when teachers and principals laid down rules, and you as a student had better not break them. Cell phones are with us today — adults and kids. Using a cell phone without express permission during a class, however, has no place in school in Vilonia or any other locale. “It still makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck to hear him talk about it.

Loose nukes President Barack Obama turned from the domestic third-rail issue of health care to the international radioactive subject of dirtybomb terrorism by hosting a nuclear summit in D.C., convincing the leaders of 47 countries to attend — presidents and prime ministers and kings and queens and a couple of expendable pawns. No bishops, they have their own problems these days. Pretty much all the cogs in the atomic machine showed up except North Korea and Iran, which admittedly is like holding a steroids conference without Barry Bonds or Mark McGwire, but hey, it’s a START. The focus was on security, an encouraging sign, since the global stockpile of bombmaking materials is now large enough for 120,000 suitcase nukes. Which most experts agree is about 120,000 too many. It wasn’t a total Potemkin summit. Everyone agreed that terrorism is bad and nuclear terrorism is real bad, and working with one another is good and they should all meet again in South Korea in 2012 if the Mayans aren’t right. Took 60 years to assemble this pile of mutually assured destruction. Going to take at least a couple of meetings to get rid of it. Only nine members in the nuclear club right now. But a lot of wannabees. And since you can’t tell your nuclear players without a Nuclear Players Scorecard, here they are, with official Threat Level grading.

On April 15, I found myself flying to Washington, D.C., as the advance party for the secondever Honor Flight originating in Savannah, Ga. Honor Flights ferry World War II veterans to D.C. to see their new memorial, free of charge. The flights are supported solely by contributions from patriotic American citizens and hometown businesses. While standing in the aisle to get off the plane from Savannah to Atlanta, I noticed an elderly couple, waiting calmly in their seats. The husband, sitting next to the aisle, was wearing a baseball cap. The words, “Don’t Tread on Me,” were embroidered on the back. I figured he was a Tea Partier, headed to the big rally in D.C. that day. But as I stood there beside him, I noticed a small yellow pin clipped to his cap visor. “WWII” it read in very small letters. I bent toward him and said, “Are you a WWII veteran?” The people around us glanced toward him to watch him answer. He turned to me, raising faded green eyes to meet mine. His lower lids hung in little hammocks, pulling away from his eyes. “Yes,” he said, a smile starting to warm his seamed face. I extended my hand. “Thank you for saving our country 70 years ago,” I said. He took my hand in his and pulled our clasped hands to his chest. “It was my pleasure,” he said. I told him that I was going to D.C. as the advance person for an Honor Flight from Savannah, that we were bringing 12 veterans to D.C. on Saturday. He said he had

Time is short for him. I try to remember when I meet these frail old men that they were once tough, lean boys and they experienced some of the worst things a human being can bear — all for the sake of our country. In my carry-on bag I was lugging a large, heavy book by Geoffrey Ward and Ken Burns, called simply, “The War.” It was written to accompany Ken Burns’ documentary on WWII. The pictures slashing through the narrative are mesmerizing, frightening, awful. “Are you sure you want to carry that heavy book with you?” my husband asked disapprovingly as I was packing. “Yes. I am going to carry it,” I said. I plan to ask our Honor Flight veterans to sign it, then while they are exploring the memorial, I will take it to other veterans and ask them to sign the book, to write their units, where they served, the major battles they fought. I wish I knew WWII history better than I do. I cannot appreciate the experiences of these men deeply enough. Eric Sevareid was a CBS radio correspondent during WWII. In the introduction to “The War,” he is quoted as saying, “Only the soldier really lives the war. The journalist does not. He may share the soldier’s outward life and dangers, but he cannot share his inner life, because the same moral compulsion does not bear upon him. The observer knows he has alternatives of action, the soldier knows he has none. ... “War happens inside a man ... and that is why, in a certain sense, you and your sons from the war will be forever strangers. If, by the miracle of art and genius, in later years two or three among them can open their hearts and the right words come, then perhaps we shall know a little of what it was like — and we shall know then that all the present speakers and writers hardly touched the story.” I will try to remember those words when I open my book and place it into the trembling hands of a once young and courageous old man.

H.O.P.E. Preschool fulfills needs for 3, 4 and 5-year-olds in community By MICHAEL ALLEN LOG CABIN STAFF WRITER

Ever since the H.O.P.E. Preschool program was created six years ago, many local residents have noticed how much the program is filling a need in the community. H.O.P.E. (Helping Others Prepare to Excel) Preschool is designed for kids three, four and five years old. The school meets on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the Pine Street Community Center beside Pleasant Branch Baptist Church. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some kids who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get into the Head Start preschool program because it is income-based,â&#x20AC;? H.O.P.E. Preschool director Lia Tate said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just want to get the kids prepared for kindergarten. I communicate with the kindergarten teachers in other schools, so we can keep up with the testing and what our kids need to know before they go that next step. Our goal is to get them prepared for kindergarten.â&#x20AC;? There are two vans in motion to pick up the youngsters on the school program days. The vans are also used when classes take field trips.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We scanned the community to see what was one of the biggest needs,â&#x20AC;? Tate said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some kids who the grandparents are raising, so we go pick them up and take them back to them. The majority of the kids actually attend a day care center somewhere, and if that day care center doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have transportation, then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go pick them up.â&#x20AC;? The school has four paid teachers: Leona Walton, Thelma Smith, Norma Curlett and Patsy Thomas. However, the teachers are either retired or teach at another facility where their kids attend. Former teachers in the Conway School District Reuel and Terry Shepherd have also been volunteering their services for the betterment of the program. Every year, the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graduation is the second Thursday in May. According to Tate, the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first day is the day after Labor Day. The school is growing each year, and this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graduating class is the biggest one yet with 19 graduates. The school averages 53 students a year, and there are 61 kids in the program this year. According to Tate, she foregoes her salary and the school gets its funding from private do-

Clinton promotes green energy in LR LITTLE ROCK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Former President Bill Clinton said Thursday that supporters of environmentally friendly technology need to highlight its economic benefits for businesses. Speaking to the Downtown Little Rock Partnershipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual meeting, Clinton said he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t promote the idea of green jobs if he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe that companies could make money from the practice. One of the missions of Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nonprofit foundation is addressing climate change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to prove that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good economics to change the way we produce and consume energy in this country,â&#x20AC;? Clinton said. Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presidential library, located in downtown Little Rock, has earned the â&#x20AC;&#x153;platinumâ&#x20AC;? rating under the Leadership Energy Environmental Design, the

Preschool program is involved in many activities and hooked in with other organizations, including Boys Scouts of America and Pine Street Food Bank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the first Saturday of every month, food bank organizers pass out food to around 120 families,â&#x20AC;? Tate said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That food bank services a lot of people and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big help to some people out in the community.â&#x20AC;? Tate noted that they are planning on expanding the program to service more students, but she also said she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to charge for the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services, so they are looking into some additional funding. Tate said they would have to lock their teachers down full time if the program did expand. Parents who are interested in registering their children can call Tate at 501-358-0054.

SportsBrief Rascal Flatts to perform at Kentucky Derby ■ LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Rascal Flatts will perform the national anthem May 1 at the Kentucky Derby in Louisville. Officials announced Thursday that the group, one of country music’s top acts, will perform “The StarSpangled Banner” at the 136th Run for the Roses at Churchill Downs.

Friday, April 23, 2010 • Page 6A • thecabin.net/sports

Last year, LeAnn Rimes became the first national recording artist invited to sing the national anthem at the Derby, and the track said the addition was popular with fans so organizers decided to continue it. Churchill Downs said it also will be adding a performance at the Kentucky Oaks, with Grammy Award-nominated quartet Little Big Town performing the national anthem at the April 30 race.

UCA receives unconditional certification from NCAA By STEVE EAST UCA SPORTS INFORMATION

The University of Central Arkansas Athletics Department has received notice that it has been fully certified by the NCAA Division I Committee on Athletics Certification, the next step in becoming a full Division I program. The certification process is carried out to ensure the integrity of an institution’s

athletic department and to assist institutions in improving their athletic departments. Self-studies are required in the areas of governance and commitment to rules compliance, academic integrity, gender equity and diversity and student-athlete well-being. The certification process was mandated by the NCAA in 1993, with each of the 335 Division I institutions undergoing the self-study once

every 10 years. “We are very pleased we have been unconditionally certified by the NCAA for Division I,’ said Dr. Allen C. Meadors, UCA president. “The athletics program utilized many individuals on our campus to assist in this process. This collaboration indicates a integration of our athletics program into the true mission of this university. We are pleased to be recognized as having a solid

athletics program.” UCA is updating its final strategic plan and annual report, which will be turned in to the NCAA in June. The results of that part of the process will be released in June and complete Division I standing would follow. “We were required to go through this certification process because of our reclassification to Division I,’ said Teague. “It’s required in

the fifth year for all transitional schools. And although we have passed the certification process, we are still not a fully classified Division I member until we receive notification this summer. “We are proud that we were fully certified, without conditions, and we feel having that designation will certainly help us in the remainder of the process.’ Teague said the full certification could have not come

about without the help of many on the UCA campus. “We had outstanding assistance from across the entire UCA community, from staff to faculty to administration,’ Teague said. “Everyone involved went above and beyond to help us with this process.’ UCA, a member of the Southland Conference, is in its final year of transition from NCAA Division II to Division I.

Conway pummels Cabot, 10-3 By MICHAEL ALLEN LOG CABIN STAFF WRITER

Conway vented out some frustration on Cabot, on the heels of Tuesday’s 4-1 loss at Little Rock Catholic. The Wampus Cats (17-6, 54) continued their home winning streak, with a 12-hit, 10run performance against the Panthers. The past few home 7A-Central Conference games have come down to the wire for the Cats. “Playing at home is big and where we are right now, we have to win at home,” Conway coach Noel Boucher said. “I would really like to see us win some games on the road. We can swing the bats pretty good. I think that we do OK on that. We came out and got a few hits when we needed them and I really thought that was the difference.” Conway’s 10-3 victory at Wampus Cat Field on Thursday put it back in the running for a conference championships. There is a logjam for those six playoffs spots, and little separates the top team from the bottom ones in the conference standings. Going into Thursday’s games, Van Buren was in first place with a 6-2 mark, and six teams were tied for second at 4-4. “This group right here, when they play with a little bit of confidence and don’t get down on themselves, then they’re usually pretty good,” Boucher said. “We talked a little bit about the Catholic

NEW YORK (AP) — The Big 12, led by Oklahoma, kicked off a big party for itself at Radio City Music Hall in the first prime-time NFL draft Thursday night.

Conway Christian’s final regular season conference game didn’t lack drama. The Eagles (12-4, 4-2) locked up the No. 3 seed in next week’s district tournament at Quitman, after a 12-10 victory over Abundant Life on Ezra Wiley’s two-out, three-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the seventh inning. “That was a big win because we wanted to get on the opposite side of St. Joseph and Abundant Life in the district tournament. We feel like those are the best two teams and plus we want to play Bigelow again,” Conway Christian coach Shane Davis said. “Ezra took a first pitch fastball and was sitting on red. We’ve had some good hits late in the game this year, but it seems like

drew the loudest reaction — a mix of cheers and boos — from the audience. The Rockettes would have loved it, from the early dominance of the Big 12 to the show biz drama surrounding the Broncos’ choice of Tebow. Starting with quarterback Sam Bradford going to the St. Louis Rams, five of the top six picks were from the Big 12 — three of them Sooners. In all, nine

first-rounders came from the conference. The Oklahoma junior became the eighth quarterback since 2001 taken atop the draft. He was immediately followed Thursday night by defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh of Nebraska, the AP Player of the Year; DT Gerald McCoy and OT Trent Williams, Bradford’s teammates with the Sooners.

they are always line drives right at somebody. I was just hoping that this one got over somebody, and it went over. This was an exciting win.” Wiley also picked up the win on the mound and his record improved to 7-3 this season. Wiley finished 3-for-4 with a double, and five RBI. Jacob Callaway was 2-for3 with two runs and Kirby Powell went 2-for-5, with two runs. The Eagles’ Tyler Ratliff finished 2-for-3 with a RBI. Jake Fitts scored three runs. “We wanted to stay mentally focused the whole game,” Davis said. “That’s one thing about this team, we’re so young sometimes when they get down, then they stay down. So we just have been telling them whether we’re up or down to stay focused. We wanted to reach 20 wins this season and that was a heck of a way to reach the 20th win.”

t was somewhere between a handslap and an old-fashioned woodshed whipping. By his six-game suspension of Ben Rothlisberger, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell put more teeth in his league’s behavior policy and added a layer of protection on that logo shield

his organization operates behind. Roethlisberger, whose off-thefield conduct has been disgraceful at the least, was suspended six games without pay for his involvement with a 20-year-old college student at a Georgia nightclub. Prosecutors did not find enough evidence to charge

the two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback. Some expected a two-game suspension or none at all. Others thought a four-game suspension might be the norm. But imposing the suspension at six games without pay (costing the quar-

terback about $2.8 million), Goodell put some barbed wire along his line in the sand about acceptable behavior. Sure, $2.8 million may be just a sting for Rothlisberger if he is can maintain his lucrative endorsements with companies such as Nike. But he

Hogs starter Smyly settles into Friday night role By MATT JONES Special to the arkansas news bureau

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn believed all along Drew Smyly would be the ace of the Razorback pitching staff this season. As a redshirt freshman in 2009, the left-handed Smyly had pitched well, including a pair of stellar performances in the postseason. First there was a near no-hitter against Oklahoma in the Norman Regional in which Smyly came within two outs of

being the first pitcher to throw a no-hitter in a regional since 1960. After not being needed in a two-game sweep of Florida State in the NCAA Super Regional, Smyly responded with a strong performance in an elimination game against Virginia at the College World Series, a game the Razorbacks went on to win. “I think that shot his confidence up and it obviously opened the coaching staff’s eyes to how good he could be,” Van Horn said. “We weren’t sure we were going to pitch him on that Sunday against Oklahoma until

Selig: MLB’s science adviser examining HGH test NEW YORK (AP) — Baseball commissioner Bud Selig says his science adviser is examining the human growth hormone blood test available through the World Anti-Doping Agency but isn’t sure when the study will be completed. At his annual session Thursday with the Associated Press Sports Editors, Selig said UCLA professor Dr. Gary Green hasn’t made a determination. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency insists the test is valid. “As soon as Dr. Green has finished his study on things, believe me, I’m most anxious to move forward,” Selig said. “One can debate what HGH does or doesn’t do. It needs to be banned.” While HGH is banned by baseball, the sport doesn’t test for it. Unionized major leaguers currently have only urine testing. The players’ union has said it would consider a blood test if it is validated. Selig said that if baseball adopts the test, it would start using it for players with minor league contracts. He has repeatedly spoken with club athletic trainers about how prevalent the use of HGH is in the majors. “The answer is we really

don’t know,” Selig said. “Most think it’s relatively low, but they really don’t know.” Cincinnati pitcher Edinson Volquez was suspended 50 games this week for testing positive for a banned fertility drug. It was the first suspension of a major leaguer under the drug program since Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Manny Ramirez was penalized last May. “The only thing that it proves is our program is working,” Selig said. “We do a lot of education. We’ll do more.” On another topic, Selig said that while attendance is down between 1 and 2 percent this season, advance ticket sales for the rest of season were up 7 percent as of April 15, according to Major League Baseball Advanced Media, which handles online sales. “We’ve had a little weather problem, a little here and there, but I feel pretty good about it,” he said. Selig has noticed the low crowds in Toronto, Citi Field and other places. “It doesn’t overly bother me,” he said. “Some clubs it depends on winning and losing.

We could have gone with someone else, but we went with him and he did a great job.” Smyly will go for a fourth straight win tonight as the No. 9 Razorbacks travel to No. 7 Florida for the start of a threegame series that could prove pivotal to both teams’ chances of earning a national seed for the NCAA Regionals in June. Arkansas (32-6, 12-3 SEC) enters the game red-hot with a 12-game winning streak overall, eight straight conference wins and the overall league lead midway through the SEC season.

“It’s a big series, but they all are,” Van Horn said. “They all count the same. “We’re not getting hyped up about it. Who’s to say some of these teams in fifth, sixth, seventh or eighth place right now don’t turn it on and take over? It’s three games; not 15.” Those performances last season only heightened coaches’ and fans’ expectations for Smyly entering this season, but he was slow to deliver. He struggled with control problems early on, which led to a high walk total. He wasn’t even in the starting rotation during the Razorbacks’

opening weekend. “All summer, he knew he should be our ace,” Van Horn said. “I think he thought he was going to be the Friday night guy, but right away it didn’t happen for him and I think he finally got a little more hungry and went out and got it.” It wasn’t easy. Smyly struggled with a nagging blister injury early in the conference season. It was so bad, the regularly scheduled Saturday starter at the time was pushed to Sunday against Alabama and then unable to make that start.

UCA Tab Challenge

The University of Central Arkansas Student Athlete-Advisory Committee won a Southland Conference-wide challenge to collect the most soda can tabs. UCA’s SAAC collected 142 pounds, with 132 coming from the softball team, beating out Sam Houston State’s 118.6 pounds and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi’s 91 pounds. Tabs were collected from February to April 1. The can tabs were donated to the Ronald McDonald House in Little Rock. The funds from the tabs will be used in the general operating budget of the Rondald McDonald House.

has the thing most athletes value as much as money taken away — playing time. He’ll possibly miss almost half the season and that has reportedly led Pittsburgh officials to put out trade feelers. While there are multiple examples of the futility of legislating morality, Goodell, who has had to deal with dog-fighting, guns and sexual misconduct in recent days, was in a tricky situation. Just like any CEO, he has to set and maintain standards of acceptable behavior. He had to operate in a gray area in which no legal charges were filed — although the foundation of the ruling was probably based on a pattern of behavior. There was some delicate racial overtones concerning the behavior of a white quarterback vs. recent transgressions of AfricanAmerican athletes, some of whom were prosecuted. What he did sets a standard and a precedent that there is a line that can be crossed even though nothing done was technically illegal. It’s a tightrope because it leaves open the question of the scope of improper behavior that exists on the periphery of the law. But we are reminded of the statement Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart said in an opinion concerning pornography, “I know it when I see it.” The Roethlisberger case also shines a light of the complexities of disciplining athletes in the modern culture.

politicians and others in the spotlight have been misbehaving for decades. The difference rests in the technology and the scope of the media nowadays. The possibility that the public will know of the transgression has increased exponentially. There is no privacy nowadays for a celebrity. Big Brother may not be watching but “Little YouTube” surely is. There is more pressure thoughout society to maintain standards of public conduct. There is more emphasis from organizations across he board to have their employers adhere to an image and become role models. In disciplining and suspending athletes the last

several years, University of Central Arkansas football coach Clint Conque has lectured those involved that he considers it a privilege and responsibility to be able to wear a UCA uniform and placing the insitution in an unfavorable light because of bad choices or behavior carries consequences. That’s how it is across the business world, where more and more employees are literally wearning the logos of their companies above their hearts and/or on their sleeves. Poor behavior not only cast a negative spotlight on the individual but the organization he represents. The NFL, as wold any organization, wants quarter-

backs such as draftees Sam Bradford, Tim Tebow and Colt McCoy, all high-character individuals. Goodell apparently doesn’t want the perception of his league to be that of thugs or immature frat guys gone wild. He is seeking to make their NFL shield an icon of respect for both quality entertainment enhanced by a sense of character. He has maneuvered himself into the position, as would the CEO of any company that operates in the public sector, to

make a decision on what is inappropriate when the legal system cannot. It’s also puts more responsibility on friends and teammates of athletes to make sure they have their backs and keep those tempted away from things that cast tarnish beyond the scope of just one individual. It’s the “do right” rule. I think most athletes know it when they see it. (Sports columnist David McCollum can be reached at 505-1235 or david.mccollum@thecabin.net)

just played the game. That showed some growing up, and I like that.” Conway’s Jordan Cates have hit three home runs, including a two-run homer in the bottom frame of the fifth, which gave the Cats’ a 10-2 lead. Cates finished the evening 3-for-4. Conway’s Wesley Hoover went 2-for-3 and Patrick Mann ended up 2-for-4. “He has really come on here lately,” Boucher said, referring to Cates. “He went into a little funk three or four weeks ago. I sat him down a little bit and let him get himself back together. Now, we’re seeing what he can do and that’s good for us.” Conway’s ace this year, Connor McClain got the win. “Connor did a great job,” Boucher said. “He’s had two really good outings. I liked the way that Andrew Adams came in and threw at the end of the game. We had timely hitting, and we didn’t make an error today. That was big, anytime that you can keep away from those.” Conway will try to shake its road woes during a trip to North Little Rock on Tuesday. The Cats and the Charging Wildcats are fighting for a high playoff seed. Boucher feels optimistic about his team’s chances of catching fire down the stretch, after this blowout victory over their 7ACentral Conference rival, Cabot. “We’re absolutely gonna try to make a run,” Boucher said. “We’re playing gameto-game wondering what’s going to happen, instead of saying, ‘Hey, we are going to be there and we’re just gonna have to go and nobody is going to stop us.’ Hopefully, this win was a step in the right direction. We can’t look past North Little Rock because they are very tough and we have to go there. This group needs to prove some things on the road, so we’ll see how it goes.”

93-foot Whale visits Guy-Perkins school NCAA to expand March Madness A from 65 to 68 By COURTNEY SPRADLIN LOG CABIN STAFF WRITER

The University of Central Arkansas’ chapter of the National Science Teacher’s Association captivated the students of Guy-Perkins’ attention and imaginations with their traveling life-sized whale replica exhibit Thursday. Students were able to enter and walk through the 93feet-long Blue Whale, made of hundreds of feet of polyethylene construction plastic. “When a student sees the actual size of a Blue Whale, they gain another level of understanding about the animal than in a book or on TV,” Jerry Mimms, sponsor of the local NSTA chapter and science education professor at UCA said. The idea to reproduce the largest living mammal in plastic form was born when Mimms attained blueprints from a fellow instructor at an NSTA convention. The NSTA then constructed the whale, which has traveled to 45 schools in the state, two in Texas and has seen more than 18,000 students on its inside. Students also learned about the dwindling whale population, the whaling industry and the species’ survival. The exhibit contains an in-tact whale vertebrae, a Baleen feeding plate from the animal, and a simulated blubber tank. The outreach program was started by UCA’s Biology Department, Mimms said.

Mimms said a Blue Whale’s heart is approximately the size of a Volkswagen Beetle, and its tongue typically weighs four tons. The Blue Whale will feed on 9,000 pounds of Krill each day, which they use to restore their 14 inches of pure blubber fat reserve. “The largest animal feeds on the smallest,” Mimms said. According to Mimms, there are in existence only 14,000 of the mammals left, where there were hundreds of thousands. The whaling industry,

Mimms said, severely cut populations. “Some countries like Russia, still have whale fleets. The whales used to be used to make whale oil, perfume, and they were hunted for whale meat,” Mimms said. The NSTA’s next outreach project, which is currently under construction, will be a large cell replica students can enter and walk through. Mimms said the microscope is one way to look at a cell but he’d like students to be able to touch and to see the structure of a cell and its organelles.

Johnny Passmore, sixthgrade math and science teacher said he was a former member of UCA’s NSTA and wanted the whale for instructional purposes since his students have been learning about animal adaptation, specifically in the area of whales and their insulating blubber.

Cowboys trade up to get WR Dez Bryant IRVING, Texas (AP) — Once Dez Bryant was within reach, the Dallas Cowboys made sure they grabbed him. Just three spots from taking him at No. 27, the Cowboys made a deal with New England to snag the Oklahoma State receiver with top-15 talent but questions about his character. The 6-foot-2, 225-pound Bryant gives quarterback Tony Romo another potentially dy-

namic receiver to go with returning Pro Bowler Miles Austin. It also likely means a lesser role for Roy Williams, who has been pretty much a bust since Dallas gave up several draft picks and a $45 million extension to get him from Detroit midway through the 2008 season. Bryant was considered by many the best receiver in this draft, an All-American in 2008 when he turned 87 receptions

into 1,480 yards and 19 touchdowns. His stock slid after his suspension for lying to the NCAA about his activities with former NFL receiver Deion Sanders, a suspension that kept him off the field nearly all of last season. Although the Cowboys had bigger needs at safety and offensive line, there were too many things about Bryant that team

owner Jerry Jones couldn’t pass up — from the value of getting a top talent late in the first round to the pizazz of adding a playmaker. Jones is looking for immediate impact because the Super Bowl is coming to Cowboys Stadium and he’s obsessed with turning his NFC East champions into NFC champions and becoming the first host to also play for the championship.

“That’s pretty cool because I know the Big 12 has been getting a lot of slack lately,” Bradford said. “People for some reason didn’t think that we played much football in the Big 12 and sure didn’t think we played much defense, so for two defensive tackles to go in the first three picks is a credit to the Big 12.” And what about the Sooners’ run at the top of the festivities? “It’s insane isn’t it?” McCoy said with a huge smile. “We can’t play football in the Big 12, but the first four picks went out the Big 12? Mmmmm — three of ’em from Oklahoma, by the way.” Bradford, the 2008 winner of the Heisman Trophy, joins a Rams team that was 1-15 last season and scored a league-low 175 points. The Rams cut incumbent Marc Bulger in the offseason. Bradford appeared in only three games in 2009, his junior year, before undergoing right shoulder surgery. His recovery has been so complete that the Rams didn’t hesitate to make him the future face of the franchise. An hour before the draft, Bradford, looking dapper in a gray suit, admitted he was nervous. “The butterflies are flying around right now,” he said. A little while later, he could relax — at least until he gets on the field behind the Rams’ weak offensive line. Detroit then chose Suh, considered the best defensive tackle prospect in more than a decade. He won the Lombardi, Bednarik and Nagurski trophies in 2009 and comes off a dominant Big 12 title game in which he had 12 tackles with 4 1/2 sacks. He was greeted by “SUH, SUH,” as he walked onto the stage holding a Lions jersey. “He made it an easy pick for us,” Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. “He’s not just a one-year wonder. He’s strong. He’s good versus the run. He’s good versus the pass. He’s very intelligent.” McCoy should boost a

INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA has decided not to mess around too much with March Madness. College sports’ largest governing body announced a 14-year, $10.8 billion deal with CBS and Turner Broadcasting on Thursday that will begin with an expanded men’s basketball tournament next March. But instead of jumping to a 96team field, a possibility that drew criticism from bracketobsessed fans to coaches, the NCAA plans to expand by only three teams, from 65 to 68. Every game will be broadcast live nationally for the first time in the tournament’s 73-year history. “It was a goal from the very, very beginning. I believe it’s what our membership wanted, and it’s what our fans wanted across the country,” NCAA interim president Jim Isch said. “I think without question, it was one of the driving factors in our position and why CBS and Turner make such great partners.” Striking a balance was a challenge for NCAA officials. The previous television deal, which gave CBS Sports the broadcast rights for $6 billion over 11 years, would have expired in three years. Both sides had opt-out clauses that had to be exercised by July 31, and the NCAA was preparing to do just that. The hope was to create a bidding war and strike a lucrative deal, generating more money for NCAA payouts to schools. CBS Sports won the war, beating out at least an offer from ESPN. What’s new is that CBS will share broadcast rights with Atlanta-

Tampa defense that once was feared but flopped last season when it yielded 400 points. He displayed his Buccaneers jersey to the crowd and pumped his fist high in the air as “Pirates of the Caribbean” played on the loudspeakers. The Big 12 bonanza kept rolling when Washington took Williams, an All-America, to fill a huge hole at tackle left by the retirement of Chris Samuels. Williams engulfed commissioner Roger Goodell in a hefty bear hug onstage. Tennessee safety Eric Berry, also an All-American, went fifth to Kansas City, breaking the Big 12 stranglehold. Berry, noted for his versatility, also has the potential to play cornerback. Then it was back to the Big 12 for Oklahoma State OT Russell Okung, who went to Seattle, where perennial Pro Bowl blocker Walter Jones might retire. Florida cornerback Joe Haden was chosen by Cleveland, followed by Alabama inside linebacker Rolando McClain to Oakland. Both were All-Americans last season. That also gave the Southeastern Conference three picks in the first eight, showing how highly the NFL regarded those two conferences. Clemson running back C.J. Spiller went ninth to Buffalo, prompting plenty of “Oh, no” responses from Giants fans in the packed theater. McClain and Spiller were considered main targets for the Giants. The surprises and the swaps then began. Jacksonville took California DT Tyson Alualu, projected as a second-rounder by many. San Francisco then moved up two spots, dealing for Denver’s pick to get Rutgers OT Anthony Davis. San Diego, desperate for a running back after cutting LaDainian Tomlinson, jumped from 28th overall to 12th in a trade with Miami. The Chargers took Fresno State’s Ryan Mathews, the nation’s leading rusher at 150.7 yards per game. The Broncos then sent the 13th overall choice they got from the 49ers to Philadel-

based Turner Broadcasting System Inc. and its stable of cable channels — TNT, TBS and truTV — from 2011 through 2024. The NCAA won, too: Isch said the new deal will provide an average of $740 million per year that will returned to conferences and schools. Just a few weeks ago, a much-bigger NCAA tournament seemed like it was all but a done deal. During a news conference at the Final Four, NCAA vice president Greg Shaheen was hounded by questions about how many more classes players would miss to play in additional tourney games. College basketball analysts often called the 65-team format the perfect size, suggesting more teams would water down the tourney. Some coaches, whose jobs often hinge on tourney appearances, even rejected the notion that adding so many teams was a good thing. Gene Smith, the Ohio State athletic director and incoming NCAA tournament committee chairman, said he was happy with the decision. “They understood that we had a great tournament this year with high ratings and a high level of excitement,” he said. “It was thought that 96 teams would generate more money to support the NCAA’s many sports and initiatives. But we were all able to come to an understanding that gives us the support without adding that many teams.” A 96-team field likely would have enveloped the 32-team NIT, the NCAA’s other, independently run season-ending tournament. Instead, the expansion is much more modest.

phia, which grabbed Michigan defensive end Brandon Graham. That made four trades involving three consecutive picks. Seattle added Texas safety Earl Thomas to Okung. Jason Pierre-Paul, who played just one season at South Florida after two years at a junior college, went to the Giants — a choice that generally drew cheers from the blue-clad New York fans in the crowd. Georgia Tech DE Derrick Morgan went to the Titans, the 49ers added Idaho guard Mike Iupati to Davis in a strong effort to solidify their offensive line, and Pittsburgh went for center Maurkice Pouncey of Florida. Missouri linebacker Sean Weatherspoon went to Atlanta, followed by Alabama cornerback Kareem Jackson to Houston and tight end Jermaine Gresham of, — guess where — Oklahoma, who was selected by Cincinnati. That made four Sooners and eight players from the Big 12 in the first 22 picks. Tebow was the third Florida player chosen — and by far the most controversial selection Thursday night. A winner for four years with the Gators, including two national championships, his unorthodox style and strange throwing motion made for widely divided opinions on him. Not, apparently, for Broncos coach Josh McDaniels, who hopes he found the longterm replacement for Jay Cutler. In his rookie season as a head coach, McDaniels feuded with Cutler a year ago and traded him to Chicago. Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees announced the champion Saints’ pick to finish off the showcase, Florida State cornerback Patrick Robinson. The swift round lasted 3 hours, 28 minutes. St. Louis has the opening pick of the second round Friday night, but there could be plenty of bartering ahead as teams ponder all the talent left, including Texas DE/LB Sergio Kindle, Southern Cal safety Taylor Mays and Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen.

The pursuit of maturity

n his excellent book, “The Laws of Success,” author Sterling W. Sill discusses a series of 48 natural laws and the effect each one has on our personal lives. They cover the gambit all the way from the Law of Abundance to the Law of Words, with the Law of Chance, Experience, Fear, Free Agency, Love, Loyalty, Reason, Self-control, Teaching, Will and countless others in between. I can promise you this — if you had a working knowledge of each of these laws, you would have a pretty good education. One of these natural laws not named above affects each of us – it is the Law of Maturity. Here is the first paragraph of the Law of Maturity chapter, as written by Sterling Sill. “At the beginning of this century a man named Stanford Benet made a study of the fact that all people do not mature at the same rate. He discovered that at a certain chronological age, the normal child can be expected to do certain things. If at that age the child is still unable to do the expected things, he is termed retarded; that is, he is younger on the mental scale of growth. If he can do more than the normal, his mental age is advanced. Benet invented the ‘Intelligence Quotient’ or IQ, a table by which to measure mental age.” Now for a practical application that should benefit each of us. Our goal, as human beings, should be to become more mentally mature with the passing of time. A friend sent me a yellowed newspaper clipping on the topic of maturity some time ago and I have no idea who wrote it or in what newspaper it was published. Just see if you see yourself anywhere in this article. “Maturity is many things. First it is the ability to base a judgment on the Big Picture — the Long Haul. It means being able to pass up the fun-for-the-minute and select the course of action which will pay off later. One of the characteristics of infancy is the ‘I want it NOW approach’. Grown-up people can wait. “Maturity is the ability to stick with a project or a situation until it is finished. The adult who is constantly changing jobs, changing friends and changing mates — is immature. He has not grown up. Everything seems to turn sour after awhile. Maturity is the capacity to face unpleasantness, frustration, discomfort and defeat without complaint or collapse. The mature person knows he can’t have everything his own way. He is able to adjust circumstances, to other people — and to time. Maturity is the ability to live up to your responsibilities and this means being dependable. It means keeping your word. And dependability equates with personal integrity. Do you mean what you say — and say what you mean? “The world is filled with people who can’t be counted on, people who never seem to come through in the clutches and people who break promises and substitute alibis for performance. They show up late – or not at all. They are confused and disorganized. Their lives are a chaotic maze of unfinished business. Maturity is the ability to make a decision and stand by it. Immature people spend their lives exploring endless possibilities and then do nothing. Action requires courage. And there is no maturity without courage. “Maturity is the ability to harness your abilities and your energies and do more than is expected. The mature person refuses to settle for mediocrity. He would rather aim high and miss the mark than aim low and miss it.” Well, how about that? To me, that’s a fantastic article and contains at least some reminders of things we can all use in our pursuit of maturity. (EDITOR’S NOTE: Jim Davidson is a public speaker and syndicated columnist.

Amish family adds vegetables to the garden, does spring cleaning BY LOVINA EICHER

he past week proved to be a rather chilly week. After recent warm 80 degree weather we were not too thrilled to see the temperatures drop again. This morning the thermometer was at the freezing mark. My garden had frost on it so hopefully people that had plants out already had them covered. The only plants I have out right now are radishes and peas and they can handle a little cold snap, but ones with tomatoes and corn out might not be so lucky. My husband Joe and the boys worked evenings last week

to get the storage potatoes planted. We now have 200 pounds of potatoes planted which we hope will give us a nice crop. It was a lot of hard work since they planted by hand. We don’t have a potato planter which would make the job easier I am sure. Last week the children mowed the grass for the first time. Meanwhile here in the house the girls and I have been busy doing spring cleaning. We were washing off walls, ceilings, windows, and curtains. We also started to clean out some cabinets and closets. In addition to cleaning here, the girls were also helping a lady from our church with her cleaning. She

has four little ones age 5 and under and was sick and not feeling well enough to do her own housework, so my girls offered to pitch in to help her. Although I could have used the girls help here at home I could also sympathize with her. I remember well how it was to not be able to do my own work and not have children old enough to take over. We are starting to enjoy the first garden goodies of the year. Rhubarb is in full swing and we had our first taste of rhubarb-custard pie this spring. I took four pies along to sister Emma and Jacob’s house. They invited us to come for the Sunday noon meal. On

the menu was delicious grilled hamburgers along with mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, Swiss and Colby cheese, and deviled eggs. The temperature never warmed up to more than the mid-50s but the children still enjoyed the outdoors. They went on bike rides and were riding horseback on Jacob’s horses. Even though it was a bit chilly some of the children still went to Jacob’s with our pony, Stormy, and the pony wagon. To Patricia from New Haven, Indiana about how to freeze rhubarb: Yes, rhubarb

St. Peter’s Episcopal trip to Guatemala was ‘humbling and incredible experience’ By FRED PETRUCELLI

Marianne Welch embraces humanity wholeheartedly, doing it with a purposeful impulse and a jubilant spirit. At this point in time, this comely Conway woman finds herself in a reflective mood, her thoughts dwelling on the work of a mission team that was dedicated to the medical requisites of people in Guatemala where medical problems are manifest. During a recent week she and her team of dedicated fellows went about serving hundreds of Guatemalans, delivering medical and other kinds of resources in an experiment designed to better the human condition. On her return to Conway, reminiscences kept filtering through her consciousness; so intense is the picture of the tortured land. “It was a humbling and incredible experience,” she said. “We saw hundreds of people, administering medications and other necessities, working through the days from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.” There the team found people suffering from parasitic infections and respiratory problems, most brought on by the primitive modes of cooking with open fires in less than protected environments. Patients ranged in age from infants to those in their 80’s. “We luckily had sufficient medications and other supplies, except for Robitussin,”

Pleasant Valley Cemetery Association to meet The Pleasant Valley Cemetery Association will hold its Annual Meeting at 7 p.m. Monday, April 26 in the fellowship hall of Pleasant Valley Baptist Church on Highway 25, south of Wooster. The association meets annually to discuss the beautification and maintenance of the cemetery. The public is invited.

she laughed. Before she and some 24 missionaries of all walks of life left for the Caribbean country, they performed all sorts of fundraising activities here to enliven the journey, “some ordinary and some novel,” she says, her enthusiasm for the mission project still apparent in its aftermath. Since it was a purely voluntary exercise, these mission advocates found themselves traveling down out of the ordinary roads to raise money for the trip. She recalls with a sense of appreciation, the many organizations in Conway that helped the team earn its way to Guatemala, such as restaurants who allowed them to come into their facilities and work for tips for the most part; also holding dinners to raise funds and selling art given by local artists, and selling all sorts of materials--everything geared to raising money for the trip. Her exuberance and her willingness to try anything to make the mission a success was striking, even though it had been tough going for her and her associates - mostly members of Conway’s St. Peters Episcopal Church - who per force ponyed up money for air travel and the expenses that were inherent in acquiring and assembling an enormous amount of medical supplies. They filled several large traveling bags with shoes, gloves, reading glasses,

toothbrushes and other over the counter medical supplies, especially multi-vitamins. Her belief in the significance of the medical effort was based on her own circumstances as director of the laboratory at the Conway Regional Medical Center. This mission contingent, a group of medical and nonprofessionals, some 24 in all, left for Guatemala on March 20 and ultimately treated some 500 to 700 Guatemalans working in clinics of sorts in the mountains of the country. For Paul McGowan, the mission trip was a “lifechanging experience that really made me appreciate everything that I have and not take things for granted. The kids live in such terrible condition that it was hard for me to wrap my mind around believing that this was going on in the world we live in.” What set this mission apart, Welch said, was its essential motivation. It was a medical mission without a religious component that is evident in mission trips undertaken by other religious contingents. Yet the Rev. Teri Daily, vicar of St. Peter’s Church, offered the view that “it was a religious experience for the team.” Donna Reid, another member of the team, wonders if there is hope for these Mayan people. But upon reflection of the work in the clinics, churches and villages, she said, “ Our mission team and many, many others

are the hope. We are just a small hog helping the wheel of progress turn. But it is turning. Looking back, it was a very emotional, physically grueling and spiritually uplifting week in our lives.” As Welch had forecast, mostly women and children were the beneficiaries of the treatment. “The men are stoic,” she said. “They rarely take the time to see a physician.” Welch said that many Mayan children, who, by the way speak Quiche and not Spanish, had no experience with a toothbrush. “Dental problems were very large problems,” she said. For Welch, this was the second visit to the Central American country. She had been part of a mission group in 2008, traveling with a team representing Little Rock’s Pulaski Heights Methodist Church. She has had a burning interest to return to the country, and some months ago Welch launched an effort to lead a mission team for St. Peter’s Church with the blessing of her parish priest. “Since my first trip, I was convinced that a similar undertaking would be possible for St. Peter’s people,” she recalls. I was right. “We had teenagers and several older than that who ached to make the trip.” Welch knows that her mission group only scratched the surface, but its members felt compunction to try to improve life on earth.

Clothe the Naked

Polaris of Conway

Anyone who has ever received hand-me-down clothing knows the joy of getting a new set of clothes without having to pay for them. Being blessed with three older brothers, I always had good clothes and shoes, even if I occasionally had to grow into them. Not everyone is so fortunate when it comes to clothing. The nearly half of the world’s population living on less that two dollars a day certainly can’t afford designer brands, let alone good, functional clothing. Many of our impoverished brothers and sisters around the world are literally wearing rags. Meanwhile, many of us have closets full of unused clothes. So, why not go through our closets, clean out the things we haven’t been wearing, and donate them to charity? Someone in need will certainly make better use of them, and we will gain some closet space. Another possibility is to donate certain clothing items to specific charities. In many cities there are job training programs that accept donations of “business” clothing so that the trainees will look professional when they go on job interviews. We should be creative and find good uses for our old clothes.

College neatnik sacrifices fun for a squeaky clean DEAR ABBY: I have been overly neat since I was in middle school. I am now in college and feel I have reached the breaking point because I’m such a neat freak. I love having everything neat and tidy, but I now spend less time being a 22-year-old and more time cleaning, scrubbing and organizing. I can’t sleep if I know there is clutter somewhere in the apartment. I have passed up going out with friends if my apartment isn’t perfect. Everything has a place and a label. It’s getting tiring because I realize I haven’t had any good wholesome fun in a long time. I wish I could relax and be OK with clutter like everyone else, instead of wasting my life cleaning. Any advice? — OVERLY ORGANIZED IN TEXAS DEAR OVERLY ORGANIZED: Yes, I do. March yourself to the student health center and discuss this with a counselor there. When the compulsion to have your apartment “perfect” trumps your ability to enjoy your life, it’s time to accept that you have gone from neat to obsessive. There is treatment for the problem, and once it begins you will be able to relax and let go of your anxiety. So please don’t wait to get the help you need. DEAR ABBY: I’m a 20year-old female who has been dating my boyfriend, “Will,” for three years. Our long-distance relationship was going along just fine until the topic of his 21st birthday came up recently.

Dear Abby Will mentioned in passing that he’s planning on going to a strip club with friends to celebrate this momentous birthday. Will says he just likes to look at women, that all men do and it’s completely fine. He didn’t seem to care how I felt about it. His mind was already made up. He wants me to be more accepting of who he is, but it turns my stomach to think of him hanging out at a strip club. Abby, is a young man in a committed relationship going to a strip club to drink and view naked women “normal”? Should I not take this so personally? Or am I right to see this as a lack of commitment to me? — OFFENDED IN FORT COLLINS, COLO. DEAR OFFENDED: If your boyfriend had attempted to hide his plans from you, or if he was planning on frequenting strip clubs alone and often, I’d say you should feel threatened. But he was open about going out to celebrate his “momentous” birthday with his friends — and plenty of women have been known to visit clubs with male dancers. So calm down. This has nothing to do with his

“commitment” to you. DEAR ABBY: I am 42 years old and being married for the first time in October. My parents divorced more than 20 years ago and both remarried. My father will walk me down the aisle. Dad lost my stepmother two years ago, and is still having a hard time with it emotionally. Because of my age, I don’t expect anything from my parents except their emotional support. If it’s all right with my parents, do you think it would be appropriate to put on the invitations, “In lieu of gifts, please make a donation to the American Cancer Society in memory of (my stepmother’s name)”? — LOVING DAUGHTER IN ARLINGTON, TEXAS DEAR LOVING DAUGHTER: You are a sweetheart to think of it, but doing so would be a huge breach of etiquette. In fact, any mention of gifts on a wedding invitation is a no-no. The way to handle it is, when asked where you are registered for gifts, to verbally inform the questioner what your wishes are.

jacqueline bigar HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, April 23, 2010:

This year, you have many opportunities. You could opt for a home-based business or go into a profession that you really love. A mentor often inspires you. Enormous resourcefulness makes the world your oyster. Be sure of your goals. If you are single, a compulsive attraction could be all you see. If you are attached, with a little nurturing, the romantic flames could start blazing again. VIRGO reveals a different side. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Focus on coming up with viable answers during a brainstorming session. You gain insight into a friend out of the blue. In the p.m., think “Friday.” Someone could keep calling or dropping in, interfering with your thought process. Tonight: Wander home, maybe visit with a friend. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Pressure builds on the home front. Not until you say “enough” — at least to yourself — will you complete your work. A friend could be quirky and change plans back and forth. A boss appreciates your efforts. Tonight: Playtime! GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH In the morning, ask for what you want clearly and directly. Hedging simply isn’t going to cut it. In the afternoon, even if it is Friday, you want to pull back and do some thinking. If you’re at work, you might be grasping the enormity of a project. Tonight: Happiest at home. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Curb overindulgence. Take a deep breath and identify what you want. Communication will excel if you are able to identify with others. Allow someone who needs control to have it, for everyone’s sake. Tonight: Hang with friends. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You are on cruise control. Someone isn’t seeing a situation the same way as you do. Could this difference be a problem? In the afternoon, dig into work. Tonight: Your treat. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Though you might be out of kilter with the world in the a.m., by the afternoon, you feel empowered. Don’t allow an associate or co-worker to distort your idea. You might need to simplify your language. Confirm that everyone is on the same page. Tonight: Do what you think is best to start the weekend. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Dedicate the morning to a key issue. Your ability to zero in on what you want allows for more success. In the afternoon, you need some quiet time to center and make decisions. Tonight: Let your mind wander, even if you don’t feel like following! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Accept your role in a project, as you cannot change it. Understand that others push you into the role of being the front person. A meeting could be more important than you realize; whether it’s in your personal or professional life is yet to be determined. Tonight: Where your friends are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Gain understanding as to why a boss or older relative feels so strongly. What is clear is that you will be carrying that sword for them, like it or not. You might be surprised by what happens in that case. Tonight: A must appearance. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH A partner lets you know exactly what he or she thinks. Finances could be involved in a semi-reluctance to follow through. Distance yourself from this matter, for today. In time, you will find a suitable arrangement. Tonight: Turn into a party animal. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Others might not be responding as quickly as you would like. The real bottom line is that they have many other matters on their mind. A conversation later in the day reminds someone exactly what you expect and where you are coming from. Tonight: Why not add some romance to your life? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Get an early start on paperwork or any matters that demand your complete attention. Others will meander in this afternoon, wanting your time and attention. You will want to network. Free up as much time as possible. Tonight: In the social whirl of life.
