County emergency workers responded to a single-vehicle accident on Dalton Road in Mt. Vernon on Tuesday that killed one teenager and injured another.

According to Maj. Andy Shock, the accident occurred at about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday afternoon when, according to a preliminary report, Dustin Boone, 17, ran off of the side of the road and overcorrected.

Shock said the truck flipped, and Boone and a 15-year-old passenger were

ejected from the vehicle.

Shock confirmed that Boone, a senior at Mt. Vernon-Enola High School, was killed in the accident.

The 15-year-old male was transported by MEMS to Conway Regional Medical Center and was later transferred to Children’s Hospital.

As of press time, his condition was unknown.

State police identify one person involved in Hwy. 64 wreck

By COURTNEY SPRADLIN LOG CABIN STAFF WRITER

A

Arkansas State Police have identified the driver of the vehicle that struck another vehicle, killing four of its five occupants.

Russell Johnston, 29, of Vilonia, was driving a Nissan Pathfinder on Highway 64, east of Conway on Sunday when his westbound vehicle crossed traffic, striking two other eastbound vehicles.

A news release issued by Arkansas State Police said statements from witnesses indicate the crash was a direct result of a driver pursuing a second vehicle.

Bill Saddler, public information officer for the Arkansas State Police, said that a criminal case has been opened and he could not comment on elements of the criminal investigation.

According to Chris Harris, public information officer for the Conway Police Department, Conway officers stopped a person near Elsinger Boulevard in Conway who was allegedly fleeing the scene of the accidents.

Harris said officers then referred the suspect to state police officers for

Three hot checks drawn on the joint checking account of Cody and Jana Hiland have been paid for, according to 22nd Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney Ken Cassady.

Cassady was sworn in as special prosecutor last week at the request of 20th Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney Marcus Vaden after the checks were received by his office.

Jeani Johnson, a journalism teacher at Conway High SchoolWest, gets some help from election official Harold Patrom in casting her school board election ballot on Tuesday afternoon at the Second Baptist Church gymnasium. “(The millage increase) is very much needed,” Johnson said. “Right now I share a classroom with another teacher, and we really need the extra space.” Faulkner County Clerk Melinda Reynolds said that over 300 voters had cast ballots on Tuesday, the first day of early voting. Early voting will continue through Sept. 20 from 8 a.m.

their investigation.

Saddler would not release the name of the suspect or confirm that the suspect was in police custody.

“Until the investigative file goes to the prosecutor, there’s nothing for us to say,” Saddler said.

Those killed were Frank San Felippo, 68, and Judith Ellen San Felippo, 66, of Sun City, Ariz., and their son, John N. San Felippo, 35, and grandson, Jersey San Felippo, 10, of Vilonia.

A fatal crash summary on the Arkansas State Police’s website indicated that Marilyn San Felippo, 35, mother of Jersey San Fellipo and occupant of the same vehicle, sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

Also injured were Matthew Hendrich, 29, of Little Rock and Lindsey Jones, 26, of Hoxie. Both were occupants of the first vehicle to be struck by Johnston’s vehicle.

Vaden said he filed the motion to avoid any conflict of interest in the case, according to official court documents.

All three checks were written for small amounts to the same restaurant in May, June and July, respectively, and were signed by Jana Hiland.

Cody Hiland is a candidate in the upcoming election for the office of 20th Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney.

Police nab more vehicle break-in suspects

By COURTNEY SPRADLIN LOG CABIN STAFF WRITER

A

Conway Police again thwarted the activities of alleged theft offenders Tuesday after responding to a citizen’s report of a breaking or entering of a vehicle.

John and Gabriel Jaquez, 21 and 20, of Conway, were arrested and charged with breaking or entering, a class D felony, and theft of property from a motor vehicle, a class A misdemeanor. Both brothers were assigned bond amounts of $3,145.

Chris Harris, public information officer for the Conway Police Department, said officers responded to a call at Covewood Drive advising

that two males had recently been seen breaking into the caller’s girlfriend’s car.

Harris said the caller advised that he confronted the suspects and slammed the car door on one of their legs as he was grabbing his girlfriend’s purse from the front seat.

The caller then ran after the two, and while fleeing, one of the brothers dropped the victim’s purse.

Harris said that the caller lost sight of the suspects when he picked up the purse.

“Officers arrived within a few minutes and spotted two suspects on Donaghey Avenue, near the Corner Pantry,” Harris said. “During questioning, one of the officers located a silver flash-

pockets, and Harris said he admitted to taking the change from a vehicle on Ironwood Drive.

Harris said in one to two weeks, this is the third time officers have arrested a group for breaking or entering vehicles for the motive of theft.

“Criminals should take the warning that the Conway Police Department is aggressively targeting this type of criminal activity, and the citizens of Conway are fed up and will not tolerate this type of behavior,” Harris said.

an electrical pole and a gas meter.

GPD Chief Dave Martini said that a quarter of a mile perimeter was evacuated, including a small industrial area and homes near Guy city limits’ south side.

“It caused a lot of gas to come out. The meter was attached to one of the big, older pipelines,” Martini said.

Martini said the motorist attempted to pick something up from the floorboard of his vehicle and veered off of the road.

The man was not transported and appeared to have sustained little injury, according to Martini.

The city of Guy lost power for some time and a portion of Highway 25 was closed, and traffic was rerouted for

almost three hours.

Martini said that the line was capped by Centerpoint Energy and the area was secured by the afternoon.

A third incident was reported at about 9 a.m. in Conway on College Avenue, near Wescon Lane.

According to Tommy Shackelford, chief operating officer at Conway Corp., the company was attempting to excavate for the installation of a new, 8-inch water main pipe.

“A 4-inch gas main was damaged during the excavation,” Shackelford said. “It was repaired, and everything is fine now.”

Kenny Wiedower, division chief at the Conway Fire Department, said that the amount of gas being released was cause for alarm, and a nearby resi-

dence was evacuated.

Dixon said the two gas leaks that occurred in west Conway were unrelated.

“Obviously safety is our No. 1 goal, and after that, to make repairs without losing customers. Those are the two things we are working on right now,” Dixon said. “We’ve implemented our emergency response plan, and we’re repairing the leak at College Avenue and Reedy Road. Of course, once the situation is stable, we’ll conduct a full evaluation.”

Council passes golf cart ordinance

By MEGAN REYNOLDS LOG CABIN STAFF WRITER

A

Members of the Conway City Council voted on Tuesday night to pass an ordinance authorizing the owners of golf courts to operate on city streets.

Prior to the meeting, the city’s original proposed ordinance was scrapped and replaced with an ordinance closely resembling that of the city of Maumelle.

Conway Police Chief AJ Gary told members of the council the purpose of the ordinance was to prohibit children “from riding on and hanging out of” golf carts, a problem he says has been significant in subdivisions surrounding the city’s golf courses.

A lack of certain specifica-

tions within the ordinance was the main subject of discussion, including the discussion of provisions on age limits and distances.

Conway Mayor Tab Townsell said the enforcement of the ordinance would be on a case-by-case basis at the officer’s discretion.

“Of course you can find ways around any law...

We’re going to start enforcing it in certain particular situations,” Townsell said. “The passing of this ordinance is going to draw attention to the fact that we have a lot of golf cart abuse out there.”

The ordinance passed 6-1, with Alderman Mark Vaught casting the only dissenting vote.

Vaught said he would have supported the ordinance with the addition of certain

language to its provisions, including the specification of “for the express purpose of playing golf,” and the exclusion of the authorization of the operation on any arterial or collector streets in the city.

Under the new ordinance, golf cart owners who are licensed drivers age 16 and over may operate golf carts on any city street that is not also designated as a federal or state highway or county road.

Golf cart operation is only authorized during daylight hours, and only from the owner’s place of residence to the golf course and back.

Dems wary of leaving rich out from tax cuts

of the field along Sixth Street.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional Democrats on Tuesday wrestled over whether to abandon President Barack Obama’s tax cut plan, with some House moderates joining Republicans in calling for an extension of Bush-era breaks for the wealthy as well as middleincome earners.

But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi remained solidly behind Obama’s proposal to allow tax cuts for upper-income

people to expire as scheduled at the end of the year.

From lunchtime into the evening, the leaders met behind closed doors with members concerned that voters would punish Democrats on Election Day if tax cuts are extended for some Americans, but not all.

“We are in listening mode,” said Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, chief of the House Democrats’ campaign committee.

What they heard Tuesday on both sides of the

Capitol indicated divisions among Democrats that contrasted with strong unity among Republicans in supporting a full renewal of all tax cuts, regardless of income, despite a 10-year cost to the government of about $700 billion above Obama’s plan.

Still, House Republican leader John Boehner said over the weekend he would vote to extend the relief for only middle-income Americans if that were the only option available.

29 accused in Pine Bluff drug, weapons sting PINE BLUFF (AP) — Nearly 30 people are facing drug trafficking or weapons charges as part of an initiative to cut down on violent crime in Pine Bluff, federal prosecutors announced Tuesday.

The U.S. attorney’s office said 25 people were indicted in federal court and another four people face charges in state court. The arrests come as part of “Operation Hog Wild,” a twoyear investigation targeting the biggest drug dealers in Pine Bluff, which has one of the South’s highest crime rates.

U.S. Attorney Jane Duke said most of those indicted already had criminal records. A grand jury handed down the indictments last week, but they remained sealed until Tuesday’s arrests, Duke said.

“We are hopeful that Pine

Bluff will see an improvement in its rising crime problem,” Duke said. “As we all know, violent crime and drug trafficking will cause a devastating domino effect in the community.”

The raids began around 5 a.m. Tuesday, and most of the suspects were arrested at homes in Pine Bluff, though a few were caught in Little Rock, said Lafayette Woods of the Jefferson County Sheriff ’s Department. No one was hurt in the early morning arrests, he said.

During the arrests, law enforcement officers seized marijuana, Ecstasy, powder and crack cocaine, firearms and cash, Duke said.

Those indicted include 22 people from Pine Bluff, two from Little Rock and one from Dallas. Possible sentences range from five years to life in prison.

Conway administration will recommend new elementary school

By COURTNEY SPRADLIN LOG CABIN STAFF WRITER

A

Conway Schools Superintendent Greg Murry announced that it was the administration’s intention to recommend a new elementary school “sooner than later” to Conway Schools Board of Education members.

The “raising” of a new elementary school on Old Military Road in south Conway is one of the five elements that make up the district’s 2012 plan.

Murry said enrollment figures compiled on Sept.

2 revealed an increased of 214 students, bringing the district’s current enrollment to 9,297.

“We are pleased that the district is growing, and pending a vote on Sept. 21, assuming that the millage passes, we will make the recommendation to go forward in October with the elementary school. With this growth, it is our belief that we need a new elementary school sooner than later,” Murry said.

According to Murry, if the district’s patrons vote for the proposed 1.9 millage increase, the Board will see a recommendation, including contractor and architect bids, for the new school as early as the

next board meeting.

The district’s 2010-11 budget was presented and approved by the Board.

According to figures presented in the meeting’s agenda, 46.5 percent of the district’s revenue is comprised of local property taxes.

Figures show that Conway Schools expect $34,703,670 from property taxes in the 2010-2011 fiscal year.

Murry said that these figures do not reflect the proposed 1.9 mills increase, and barring that the millage is passed by voters, the district will not see those revenue increases until the district’s next fiscal year.

The Board approved the following resignations: Dionne Latin and Dawn Graham.

The Board approved the following elections: Matthew Kelly, Maria Nelle-Davis, Kristen Polacek, Rosa Etter, Brittany Haley, Shelly Glenn, Hallie Leight, Amy Smith, Jennifer Hunt, Courtney Bishop, Pauline Scaife, Erin Roland Haynes and Paula Halsted.

Carter hopes prisoner release helps peace talks ATLANTA (AP) — Former President Jimmy Carter said Tuesday that he hoped North Korea’s release of an American prisoner to him would jumpstart six-nation denuclearization talks that could lead to a permanent peace deal on the peninsula.

Carter said he worked five weeks to get permission from the White House and the State Department before making the private trip in August to free Aijalon Gomes, 31, who had been held since he crossed into the country from China on Jan. 25 for unknown reasons. He had been sentenced to eight years hard labor.

North Korea officials told Carter they would only release Gomes if Carter came to get the captive himself, the former president said in his first public remarks since his journey to the country.

“We didn’t have any communication with North Korea, so they called and asked me to come over there to get Mr. Gomes,” the Georgia Democrat said during a discussion at the Carter Center. “They said they would not let him go to anyone except me. Obviously, they wanted me to come back over there.”

The 2002 Nobel Peace Prize winner would not say if he met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Il. But he said he spoke with leaders who told him “they were eager to have peace

talks that will lead to the denuclearization of the peninsula and a permanent peace treaty with the U.S. and South Korea.”

Carter, 85, who was president from 1977-81, is well-regarded in North Korea despite the longtime animosity between the two countries. He met with the late President Kim Il Sung on his last trip to Pyongyang in 1994 in a cordial meeting that led to a landmark nuclear disarmament deal. The North Korean leader died weeks later.

“They really revere me in a way for being the last person who met with Kim Il Sung before he passed away,” the expresident said.

“We meet with some unsavory people, some outcasts from international diplomatic circles,” he said. “But they’re the ones who can solve problems involving unwarranted war or abuse of human rights.”

Carter, who traveled to China a week after his visit, said he hoped Gomes’ release would start peace talks. China has hosted the talks since 2002 but North Korea walked away last year in protest of international condemnation following its test of a long-range missile.

“I think they would like to be accepted in the world political environment,” he said.

“They do some strange things because we just don’t understand them.”

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — In just a few dizzying hours, American Sarah Shourd exchanged a cell in Tehran’s Evin Prison for a private jet crossing the Persian Gulf on Tuesday, after an apparent diplomatic deal to cover a $500,000 bail and secure a release that seemed in jeopardy from the start.

Shourd was met by her mother and U.S. diplomats at a royal airfield in the capital of Oman, which U.S. officials say played a critical role in organizing the bail payment and assuring it did not violate American economic sanctions on Iran.

Shourd stepped off the private Omani jet and into the arms of her mother in their first embrace since a brief visit in May overseen by Iranian authorities — and her first day of freedom in more than 13 months. Shourd smiled broadly as they strolled armin-arm through the heat of the late summer night along the Gulf of Oman.

“I’m grateful and I’m very humbled by this moment,” she said before boarding the plane in Tehran for the twohour flight to Oman.

The whirlwind departure of the 32-year-old Shourd brought little change for two other Americans — her fiance Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal — who remained behind bars while authorities moved toward possible trials on spy charges that could bring up to 10 years in prison if they are convicted.

The three were detained along the Iraq border in July 2009. Their families say they were innocent hikers in the scenic mountains of Iraq’s Kurdish region and if they did stray across the border into Iran, they did so unwittingly.

“All of our families are relieved and overjoyed that Sarah has at last been released, but we’re also heartbroken that Shane and Josh are still being denied their freedom for no just cause ...

They deserve to come home, too,” said a statement by the three families.

Iran, however, has shown no hints of clemency for the two 28-year-old men. Indictments on espionage-related charges have been filed and Tehran’s chief prosecutor has suggested the cases could soon move into the courts, with Shourd tried in absentia.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he welcomed Shourd’s release “and I appreciate the flexibility of Iranian government.”

“At the same time, as secretary-general of the United Nations, I would

sincerely hope that Iranian government will again very favorably consider releasing the remaining two American hikers so that they could join their families as soon as possible,” he said in an interview in New York with AP and AP Television News.

Any other scenario could bring more unwanted attention to the growing rivalries inside Iran’s Islamic leadership.

Even the gesture to release Shourd on health grounds — first raised as an act of Islamic benevolence last week

by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — turned into a spectacle of high-level political bullying and sniping over who controlled her fate and the overall wisdom of letting her go.

The open bickering seemed to harden the divisions that have been developing since the brush with chaos after Ahmadinejad’s disputed reelection last year.

On one side are Ahmadinejad and his allies, led by the vast military and economic network of the Revolutionary Guard — what some analysts have called the “militarization” of the Islamic state. The other pole reflects the old guard of Iran’s once-unchallenged authority, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and the traditional pillars of the theocracy such as the judiciary.

In Shourd’s case, the judges came out on top. They humbled Ahmadinejad and set the ground rules for her release with a staggeringly high bail.

Change Court embraces technology

W

e were in college when we had our first encounter with the State Supreme Court. Justices decided then it was a good idea to get out in the state’s communities to hear oral arguments so that folks from areas of the state other than Little Rock could see what the court does and how it does it.

The whole event was rather boring, individuals were suing an automaker and tire manufacturer that they claimed used less-thansuitable products, which they claimed caused accidents. At the time, it was only the second time since the Civil War that the Supreme Court held court outside of Little Rock. So as boring as it was, there was a sense of nostalgia about the state’s highest judicial body hearing oral arguments at Arkansas State University. And believe it or not, there was a packed house. Turned out, a lot of folks were curious about how the Supreme Court operated, now matter how boring the case.

Now, it appears the court is taking another step forward to increase its reach.

The state just spent about $100,000 equipping the courtroom with cameras and software so that oral arguments can be watched live on the Arkansas Supreme Court’s website.

That’s a big step for a court that’s been reluctant to alter or change its policies and day-to-day processes.

“We don’t do change well,” Chief Justice Jim Hannah told The Associated Press. “Both our training as lawyers and our practice as judges requires us to rely on past decisions and apply that precedent to current legal questions that come before us. We are often slow to embrace change, but we know that technology provides a way to move forward.”

Now, with streaming live video, the court won’t have to traverse the state to give Arkansans opportunities to learn what the court does and how it operates.

The move will benefit many.

Attorneys preparing for a case before the court can see how the court operates without spending time and money traveling to Little Rock.

College and high school teachers can coordinate lessons so that a live court session on the Internet can be used to supplement their studies.

Arkansans, for whatever reason, can visit the court’s website and watch live arguments.

Who wouldn’t want a more transparent court? Add the webcasts to the court’s plan to make documents and rulings available online, and we have a high court that’s embracing technology and making itself more useful to the public.

It’s probably no coincidence that the live webcasts, which are set to start this week, will be in place in time for the appeal hearing for Damien Echols, one of three convicted in the infamous West Memphis Three case. We’re sure many folks, nationwide, will watch that webcast.

Established 1879 a Morris Communications Co. newspaper

Lincoln’s question may have backfired Political debates often are scripted productions without any surprises.

That wasn’t the case last Friday when Sen. Blanche Lincoln posed a question to her challenger, Rep. John Boozman.

In an apparent attempt to embarrass Boozman, she asked about his vote “to protect the rights of fathers who committed rape or incest against a minor that resulted in a pregnancy, to be able to sue the doctor who performed an abortion on that victim.” She then asked if he believed most Arkansans believe “the rights of rapists take priority over the rights of women who have been assaulted.”

Lincoln’s question may have backfired since it exposed her extreme position on abortion.

Boozman replied he had no idea what she was talking about but he is against all abortions except in the case of rape, incest or the life of the mother. His voting record was clear on this.

When he pressed Sen. Lincoln on what bill or vote she was talking about she fumbled through her notes but could not find the vote or provide any more detail.

Later, her campaign provided a procedural vote from 2005 on a motion to recommit HR 748 — the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act. That bill would have strengthened state parental notification laws by making it a crime to transport minors to another state to prevent parents from knowing their young daughter was having an abortion.

The bill never became law but received support of almost the entire Arkansas

jason tolbert delegation, including Reps.

Boozman, Berry, Ross, and Snyder and ultimately Sen. Pryor. Lincoln was the only member of the delegation to join 42 Democrats to block cloture in the Senate and kill the bill.

On this bipartisan parental notification bill, Lincoln had the moxie to do what she refused to do on the health care bill — join a filibuster to prevent its passage.

But the vote Lincoln’s campaign points to was a procedural vote to recommit the bill back to committee with the ultimate goal of preventing its passage.

Abortion rights advocate Rep. Jerry Nadler made the motion and argued along with the extreme liberal Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) that the bill could allow a father who had raped his daughter to sue someone transporting her across state lines for an abortion.

Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wisc.) spoke against the motion pointing out that the rapist would have to expose his crime in order to accomplish what Nadler was suggesting and the bill actually protected victims of abuse by requiring authorities to be alerted if abuse is suspected.

Boozman voted along with 245 congressmen, including Rep. Marion Berry, against the motion to recommit.

Why would Sen. Lincoln bring up a vote that clearly demonstrates her extreme position on the issue of abortion?

Perhaps the answer is in the history of her campaign against anther Boozman,

John’s late brother Fay, whom she defeated in 1998.

During that campaign, Fay made an ill-advised comment about rape victims having difficulty getting pregnant. Lincoln unleashed an attack ad on this issue in the waning days of the campaign, which some insiders point to as a major reason for her victory.

Lincoln’s odd question in the debate may have been an attempt to create another Boozman gaffe that she could exploit, but instead she exposed not only her lack of debate preparation but also her extreme proabortion positions.

While Arkansas searches for ways to find new funding for building and maintaining highways, the state has managed to improve its standing nationally, according to a new report. You might think that’s because highways in other states are deterioriating faster than ours, but that’s not what the Reason Foundation’s 19th Annual Highway Report says.

The Reason Foundation is a tax-exempt research and education organization whose mission is to “advance a free society by developing, applying and promoting libertarian principles.”

The study measures the condition and cost-effectiveness of state-owned roads in 11 categories, including deficient bridges, urban traffic congestion, fatality rates, pavement condition on urban and rural interstates and on major rural roads and the number of unsafe narrow rural lanes.

Released last month, the 19th report indicated that national performance in all key areas improved in 2008, the most recent year with complete data available. ...

Here’s the good news for Arkansas: For 2008 the state ranked 29th in the nation in highway performance and effectiveness. That’s about midway on the full list, but Arkansas ranked 46th as recently as 2000. After that, the state jumped quite a few places, perhaps because of the highway bond program passed by the voters in 1999, which enabled Arkansas to rebuild most of its interstate highway system.

At that time Arkansas, with 16,254 miles of state road, had the nation’s 16thlargest state highway system but ranked 41st among all states in highway funding. Since then we’ve added a few miles and now rank 15th while still struggling to pay for our roads. That’s unsustainable. ...

The Reason Report paints a brighter picture in comparing Arkansas’ situation to that of other states because its financial numbers equate the lack of funding to efficiency. With a category like administrative disbursements per mile, that may be true, and Arkansas ranks second in the nation with the lowest average per mile.

But ranking 7th and 9th, respectively, in maintenance disbursements and capital and bridge disbursements, as well as 6th overall in total disbursements, simply shows that the state doesn’t have much money for highways compared to other states. That doesn’t necessarily mean efficiency. ...

On the minus side Arkansas has one of the worst rates of fatal accidents in the country — 46th with 1.81 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles.

One reason may be that we rank very high (44th) in the percentage of narrow rural roads, with 26 percent classified that way. Northeast Arkansas certainly has more than its fair share.

The report points out ominously that Congress has not passed a highway bill since the expiration last year of legislation covering 2004-09, instead transferring general revenue to the Highway Trust Fund several times. That leaves the future of federal highway aid, critical for “efficient” states like Arkansas, in serious doubt.

Honoring veterans

(The following editorial appeared in the Texarkana Gazette on Monday)

Back in 1997, the Arkansas Legislature passed a bill authorizing a state veterans cemetery to join the three national cemeteries at Fayetteville, Fort Smith and Little Rock.

In 2001, the first cemetery was opened on an 82-acre site in North Little Rock. It was funded by the federal government and the Arkansas Department of Veterans Affairs has the responsibility for maintenance and upkeep.

The first state cemetery was so well received that a second cemetery was planned. In 2008, Gov. Mike Beebe authorized the purchase of 100 acres of land near Birdeye in the northeast part of the state. A $7 million federal grant was secured to cover construction costs.

Last week, work began on the first 40 acres of the cemetery. The first graves should be available in November of 2011.

The cemetery is open to any service member who died on active and duty and almost all service members as long as they did not receive a dishonorable discharge. For service beginning in 1980 or later, there is a minimum of 24 months of continuous active duty.

A veterans spouse is also eligible and, in some cases, other dependents.

National Guard and Reserve veterans are eligible is some cases, as are World War II Merchant Marines, members of the Philippine Armed Forces and commissioned officers who served in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Regular or Reserve Corps of the Public Health Service.

It’s fitting that the state honors those who served this country honorably, as well as those who stood by them here at home. Our state veterans cemeteries provide a resting place of lasting honor.

VSD may chip in funding for Hwy. 64 sidewalk

By LINDA HICKS SPECIAL TO THE LOG CABIN

A

Students walking to some Vilonia campuses may soon have a safer path to travel.

The Vilonia Board of Education approved Monday night making a monetary contribution, if necessary, toward laying sidewalks in front of the campuses on U.S. Highway 64 (to the high school) and from U.S. Highway 64 south onto Highway 107 to the Administration Building.

“It is possible that the district might need to contribute up to $5,000 toward the sidewalks on the campus,” said Dr. Frank Mitchell, superintendent, addressing the board. “It would be well worth $5,000 to receive approximately $60,000 in sidewalks.”

An overview of the project, Mitchell said the City of Vilonia, in conjunction with the district, received a grant to install sidewalks through a Safe Routes to School program about three years ago. The project was delayed for awhile. However, sidewalks are cur-

rently being installed and will soon extend from the intersection of highways 64 and 107 to Church St. on the south side of 64. A bridge across the creek was included in the project.

Mitchell praised the efforts of city engineer Fred Fowlkes, who he said, has put in considerable time to make it happen. The city was able to use some funds that were available through Metroplan as well as the Safe Routes to School grant funds to make the sidewalks a bit longer, Mitchell told the board.

“Apparently, more funds are available than will be required on the approved sidewalks,” Mitchell said.

“Mr. Fowlkes has received tentative approval to construct sidewalks at the entire front of the campus (on 64).”

The board also approved the granting of an easement to the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department allowing the laying of the sidewalks.

Prior to any action, however, interim board president Jerry Roberts introduced Jake Turner,

‘It would be well worth $5,000 to receive approximately $60,000 in sidewalks.’

— Dr. Frank Mitchell

the newest member of the board, to the audience.

“Welcome to your first meeting,” Roberts addressed Turner. It was also said that Turner graduated from Vilonia High School in 1999.

Turner was appointed at the August meeting to fill a seat following the resignation of long-term member Danny Lawrence, who also served as the board president.

In other business: • The board approved the purchase of computers from CompUSA/Tiger Direct costing $19,800.26 to be paid with stimulus money.

• Approved the purchase of 12 smart board at $51,940.80 from Video Reality at a state contract price of $4,328.40 each.

• Approved the renewal of the Arkansas School Board membership at a cost

of $1,941.

• Approved the 2010-11 tentative operating budget reflecting projected expenditures for all funds at $25,475,941.60 including teacher salaries at $11,251,399.55; operating expenses at $9,542,284.56; building funds at $10,000; debt service (bond payments) $734,919; federal programs $2,389,038.74; athletics at $133,300 and foodservices at $1,580,000.

It was said a track payment is not included in the amount. That payment, Mitchell said, has been held up due to problem “spots” on the track.

Mitchell also said the budget reflects significant revenue changes including a loss of $103,711 in enhanced funding from the state; a loss of $34,603 in millage supplemental

funding from the state; a loss of $11,665 in bonded debt assistance from the state; a decrease in donations. For instance, he said, a Centennial Bank donation was a one-time donation of $100,000 for the football field project.

Also, an increase in the student growth funding from $13,951 to $100,000; a loss of $83,645.86 due to the Arkansas School Recognition funds being a one-time revenue source; the loss of $21,097 toward funding for a special education supervisor from the state; an estimated decrease of catastrophic occurrence funding from $155,233 to $50,000; a loss of $25,475 in alternative education funding from the state; an increase of National School Lunch Act funding of $58.528 and a loss of $6,922 in general facilities funding from the state. As well as a loss of $6,970 in Title IV funds (drug education) and $17,951.22 in Safe Routes to School funds (one time for bicycle education); an increase of $1,000 in the athletic fund due to a court settlement and an increase

of an estimated $90,000 in the food service fund due to May and June claims from the state being received after June 30.

“The key to a continued positive financial position is maintaining the growth experienced to this point from last year,” Mitchell said. It was said the district is up about 74 students over last year.

Other discussion: • It was said materials for installing lights at the tennis courts should arrive by the middle of October allowing them to be installed by the end of next month.

• The board discussed options concerning a soda distributor. It was said the district has been operating for about a year without a valid contract and that there may be a need to enter into negotiations for a new contract.

Years after floods, homeowners await FEMA buyouts SEELYVILLE, Ind. (AP) — Karen Niece loves her idyllic bungalow in the Indiana countryside, but when storms dumped nearly a foot of rain on her 19-acre property in 2008, flash floods left mold in the foundation — and gave Niece a lung infection she will have the rest of her life.

After the water receded, Niece and thousands of other flood victims around the Midwest stayed in their damaged homes, despite health risks, because they had pinned their hopes on a federal program that helps buy flood-damaged properties. Two and even three years later, many are still waiting for relief.

“I really don’t want to leave, but I don’t want to get sicker,” the 66-year-old homemaker said, sitting at her kitchen counter about 60 miles southwest of Indianapolis. “But I haven’t heard anything. I don’t know what they’ll do or if they’ll do anything.”

The Federal Emergency Management Agency helps local governments purchase flood-prone properties to save on future cleanup costs. But the buyouts are not automatic, nor are they quick, which is raising questions about whether the program is worth the limbo it creates for homeowners.

“The last thing you need when recovering from a disaster is wondering whether FEMA is going to have the money to pay what they owe,” said Rep. Earl Pomeroy, a Democrat from North Dakota, another state where the buyout process bogged down after FEMA’s disaster aid ran dry.

More than $13 million was on hold in North Dakota alone, delaying the buyouts of more than 100 homes affected by floods last year.

Communities that participate in the program must agree to take the properties off the tax rolls and maintain them as green space. Homeowners must decide whether to accept the government’s offer. The process can take months in the best cases.

In western Indiana’s Vigo County, time has virtually stood still since June 2008, when storms dumped up to 10 inches of rain on parts of the state.

The floodwaters killed three people and caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage.

President Bush declared 39 Indiana counties disaster areas.

FEMA still has not approved any of Vigo County’s seven buyout plans.

“There are days when it’s just really hard to think about,” said Honnalora Hubbard, Niece’s former neighbor. “Two years later, you’re still not able to put a traumatic experience behind you.”

The delays in Indiana have created “a big, long line of black holes of people waiting,” said Dean Bruce, a member of the town board in the southern Indiana community of Spencer, where 23 flooded properties still don’t have

FEMA approval.

Congress passed a war funding bill July 27 that included $5.1 billion to replenish FEMA’s disaster-relief fund, but there’s been little improvement. Spokeswoman Rachel Racusen said the agency has a backlog of “thousands of projects” from floods and other disasters.

“Though FEMA provides funding for this program, the decision to participate in the program and a large part of the application process takes place at the state and local level,” Racusen said Tuesday.

Homeowners in Wisconsin, where floods in 2007 and 2008 caused extensive damage, are experiencing similar delays.

In Gays Mills, a village about 80 miles northwest of Madison, FEMA purchased 25 homes after the floods.

But Michelle Engh, a housing specialist with a Wiscon-

sin nonprofit group called CouleeCap, said none of her clients are in new homes yet.

And many homeowners who did receive buyouts did not get paid enough to buy new homes, with lots of their properties appraised for around $40,000.

“There’s this gap that exists between what people received and the cost of the new home,” Engh said.

In Indiana, some homeowners affected by the floods have moved to new homes where they pay rent or second mortgages while still paying off the old properties.

Kellie and Darrin DeVault still do not know how much they will get for their waterlogged house about 15 miles south of Indianapolis.

Floodwaters from the June 2008 storms bubbled up from drains into a bathroom, bedroom, family room and fireplace on the first level.

SportsBrief NFL talking with Jets about reporter flap ■ FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The NFL was still trying to determine exactly what went on at New York Jets camp involving a TV Azteca reporter, and rebuked Clinton Portis for comments about the woman Tuesday, saying they were offensive and inappropriate.

Ines Sainz, who works for the Mexican network, said she was uncomfortable Saturday in the Jets’ locker room, where a few players let loose with some catcalls as she waited with two

male co-workers to interview quarterback Mark Sanchez, who is of Mexican descent.

An assistant coach also seemed to deliberately throw to players near where Sainz was standing on the sideline during practice.

“They’re here investigating, and we’re open,” Jets coach Rex Ryan said. “Whoever the NFL wants to talk to, I’m not sure who it is, but we’ll let that play out. We’re here to cooperate.”

Mallett looking to improve on last season’s road woes

By Robbie Neiswanger Arkansas News Bureau

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett must have known the question was coming Monday.

After all, his performance in road games last season has been dissected and discussed for some time now.

But when Mallett was asked if he thought some pressure got to him in road games last season, he seemed caught off guard. He looked down. He stayed quiet for 10 seconds, too, before looking up to offer an answer.

“I wouldn’t say it got to me — personally,” Mallett said.

“Obviously I didn’t play very well.

“Last year I was more of an up-and-down player. I would get too excited and get frustrated.”

It may have taken time to get a response, but there’s no doubting Mallett’s mission as No. 12 Arkansas (2-0, 0-0 in Southeastern Conference) prepares for its first road test at Georgia (1-1, 0-1). The Heisman Trophy candidate knows he must do something he couldn’t last season — perform in a hostile environment — if the Razorbacks hope to open league play with an important win Saturday.

Bush forfeits 2005 Heisman

Monte Coleman to speak at FCA breakfast

By RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer

HEndrix sports information

The 15th Annual Bob Courtway Fellowship of Christian Athletes Breakfast is set for October 12 at 6:30 a.m. The FCA has signed three-time Super Bowl Champion and former UCA great, Monte Coleman as featured speaker.

Coleman was a standout defensive back and linebacker for the University of Central Arkansas (UCA) Bears and was drafted into the National Football League (NFL) by the Washington Redskins, where he was part of four Super Bowl teams, winning three: Super Bowl XVII (defeated Miami Dolphins, 27-17), Super Bowl XVIII (lost LA Raiders, 38-9), Super Bowl XXII (defeated Denver Broncos, 42-10), and Super Bowl XXVI (defeated Buffalo Bills, 37-24).

The Pine Bluff native was named one of the 70 greatest players in Redskins history and was also named to the All-Madden Team in 1993. He is both a UCA Athletic Hall of Fame and Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame member. Coleman also has received UCA’s highest honor — the Distinguished Alumnus Award.

Coleman played for the Washington Redskins in parts of three decades: the 1970’s, the 1980’s, and the 1990’s. On the all-time list of games played as a Redskin, Coleman is currently second having played in 217 games. He is one of only three men to play at least 16 seasons with the franchise. Coleman’s 56.5 sacks are the team’s fourth-highest all-time total.

Coleman currently resides in Pine Bluff where he is in his second year as Head Football Coach for University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff. He is also a popular speaker and minister in the Pine Bluff area. Coleman grew up in Pine Bluff and graduated from Pine Bluff High School in 1975. He then went on to UCA where he walked on in football becoming an outstanding defensive back and linebacker for the Bears. His accomplishments distinguished him as the first Bear in UCA history to be drafted by the NFL. For more information, call (501)733-2022 or e-mail garrison@hendrix.edu.

At 1-0, Kansas City has first winning record in years

By DOUG TUCKER AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — This city has some catching up to do on its sleep.

The Kansas City Chiefs, a franchise that’s spent three years in the dumps, kept themselves and their town up late Monday night with a 2114 victory.

Beating the four-time defending AFC West champion San Diego Chargers took until about 12:20 a.m. early Tuesday morning.

And as excited as everybody seemed to be, it’s hard to imagine everyone simply turned out the lights and fell asleep after the Chiefs’ first Monday night victory in 10

years gave them a winning record (1-0) for the first time in almost three years.

“Our transitioning team, our team in transition, went out against a very good opponent ... and we found a way to win,” second-year coach Todd Haley said Tuesday.

“I think that’s a real important point here.”

The Chiefs obviously have issues. They had only one offensive touchdown that was not the result of a turnover deep in Chargers territory. Jamaal Charles scored one TD on a 56-yard run and rookie Dexter McCluster scored another with a team-record 94-yard punt return.

Matt Cassel, who did very little throughout

the rainy, windy night, did complete a 2-yard TD pass to tight end Tony Moeaki, another rookie, after Ryan Mathews’ fumble gave the Chiefs the ball on the 12.

But counting a couple of good kickoff returns by rookie Javier Arenas, the Chiefs actually had more yards in kick returns (219) than total offense (197). Playing conservatively while protecting a lead in the rotten weather, the Chiefs managed only 70 yards of offense in the second half.

Cassel, outplayed all night long by Philip Rivers, completed 10 of 22 passes for 68 yards. Rivers was 22 for 39 for 298 yards and two scores.

NEW YORK — Reggie Bush took the unprecedented step of giving back his Heisman Trophy on Tuesday, saying the scandal over improper benefits while he was a star running back at Southern California should not stain “the dignity of this award.”

The New Orleans Saints’ star won the Heisman — symbol of the best player in college football — in 2005.

Returning the trophy has no practical effect on Bush since he’s already in the pros and a member of a Super Bowl championship team.

However, it is the first time in the award’s 75-year history that a player has forfeited it.

USC was hit with heavy sanctions by the NCAA this summer after it determined Bush and his family had received hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts from two fledgling Californiabased marketing agents. The NCAA ruled that Bush was ineligible for the 2005 season, which opened the possibility that the Heisman Trophy Trust would take back the award.

One of the few guidelines given to Heisman Trophy voters is that a player must

be in compliance with NCAA rules to be eligible for the award.

“The persistent media speculation regarding allegations dating back to my years at USC has been both painful and distracting,” Bush said in a statement released through the Saints.

“In no way should the storm around these allegations reflect in any way on the dignity of this award, nor on any other institutions or individuals.

“For the rest of my days, I will continue to strive to demonstrate through my actions and words that I was deserving of the confidence placed in me by the Heisman Trophy Trust.”

Shortly after USC was sanctioned, the eight-member trust, based in New York, said it was considering what to do about Bush, who won in a landslide vote over Texas quarterback Vince Young.

The trust met Tuesday; it had no comment. Whether the 2005 Heisman will be vacated or given to Young remains to be seen.

“Reg will continue to be the 2005 Award recipient and I will continue to be honored to have been in the 2005 Heisman campaign with such a talented

New NCAA president supports tougher penalties

By MICHAEL MAROT AP Sports Writer

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Incoming NCAA President Mark Emmert wants to get tough on rule-breakers.

He also wants the governing body to get cozier with pro sports leagues and players’ unions.

Sound like a strange combination?

Emmert said it’s all part of a bigger plan to help police everything from unsavory agents to schools that ignore the rules.

“I’m really pleased with how we’re working with the universities and colleges to try to correct behaviors that are not in the school’s best interests,” Emmert said in a phone interview Tuesday from

Seattle. “Under my leadership, we’re not going to see any diminutive effect of that effort.

But I like where we’re going right now.”

The direction of the NCAA is clear: Those kinder, gentler days are giving way to a new, tougher approach.

In June, after spending nearly 20 months debating harsher sanctions for rulebreakers, the NCAA hit Southern Cal with the most severe penalties in years. The football program received a two-year bowl ban — the first time any school faced that penalty since Alabama completed its probation in 2003 — and barely avoided getting hit with the first television ban since 1996.

Pats send running back Maroney to Broncos FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The Denver Broncos obtained running back Laurence Maroney from the New England Patriots on Tuesday, adding another nicked-up player to a rushing attack burdened by injuries.

Each team received an undisclosed 2011 draft pick in the deal that reunites the Patriots’ first-round choice in 2006 with Josh McDaniels, New England’s offensive coordinator before he became Denver’s head coach last season. The trade is pending a physical examination.

The Patriots gave up on Maroney after he failed to emerge as a solid No. 1 back since being drafted out of Minnesota. He

was limited by a shoulder injury to three games in 2008. In four years with New England, he rushed for 2,430 yards and 21 touchdowns and tended to run side to side rather than hit openings quickly.

He was inactive with a thigh injury for the Patriots’ seasonopening 38-24 win on Sunday over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Fred Taylor led the Patriots rushers in that game with 71 yards on 14 carries. They also have Sammy Morris, Kevin Faulk and BenJarvus Green-Ellis at running back.

Maroney led New England’s rushers with 757 yards and nine touchdowns last season and ran

for a career-high 835 yards in 2007.

He should have a greater opportunity to play with the Broncos.

Their backfield has been in a state of flux ever since starter Knowshon Moreno (hamstring) and backup Correll Buckhalter (back) were injured during the first 7-on-7 drill of training camp on Aug. 1.

Denver brought in free agent LenDale White, but he sprained his ankle on his first full day of workouts and then tore his right Achilles’ tendon in the preseason finale. He is out for the season after undergoing surgery last week.

The Broncos rushed for 89 yards and one touchdown on 25 carries in their 24-17 loss to Jacksonville in Sunday’s opener.

Moreno, who missed all of the preseason, gained 60 yards on 15 carries with one touchdown, and Buckhalter, who had just a handful of carries before the opener, ran six times for 15 yards.

Lance Ball, a second-year pro who was cut four times before being signed to the Broncos’ practice squad last November, capitalized on his carries during camp to earn a roster spot, and the Broncos brought in Andre Brown, who was cut by the New York Giants. He missed the opener with a turf toe injury.

Moss: No regrets about airing concerns on contract BOSTON (AP) — Randy Moss said Tuesday his comments about his contract concerns “came out wrong,” but he doesn’t regret making them and wants to retire with the New England Patriots.

Moss had spoken out after Sunday’s season opener, then went home worrying about how coach Bill Belichick and team owner Robert Kraft would view his remarks.

“I do care what they think and I just didn’t want it to come off in a crazy, crazy manner,” he said in an interview with The Associated Press. “It was just how I felt, man. It’s just something I just needed to get off my chest.”

He learned Belichick’s reaction when they met on Mon-

day. He said the coach was supportive.

“I don’t want to get into detail about what we talked about, but it was just more watching what I say and watching what I do,” Moss said. “I just said, ’Coach, it’s unlike me,’ and I apologized, in a way, because it’s unlike me, but, hopefully, he sees where I’m coming from. “ He said he has children, a mother, a brother and a sister to support.

“They’re looking for me for financial stability,” Moss said.

“Is that fair? No. But that’s life and I accepted that and that’s where I’m coming from.

Hopefully, people will understand where I’m coming from.

It’s not that I’m asking for $30

(million), $40 million a year.

I’m just asking for another contract.”

He didn’t say whether he had spoken with Kraft.

On Sunday, Moss said there have been no talks regarding a contract for next year.

The Patriots obtained the wide receiver from Oakland during the April 2007 draft for a fourth-round pick that year.

His Raiders contract included base salaries of $9.75 million in 2007 and $11.25 million in 2008. He and the Patriots agreed to replace that with a one-year deal with a base salary of $3 million.

He’s making $6.4 million in 2010, the last year of a threeyear, $27 million contract.

On Sunday, Moss spoke

for 16 minutes soon after the 38-24 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, nearly all of it about his contract situation. He said he wasn’t mad but was hurt and didn’t expect to return next year.

On Tuesday, he said, “I would love to” retire as a Patriot. “The rapport that I have here with this organization, the coaching staff and the fan base, it’s a lot of positives out there when dealing with me.

I don’t really want to try to make it an individual thing, but I guess it has been over the last couple of days.”

He also said Sunday that he didn’t feel appreciated, then added, “I’m not saying that I’m not appreciated here.”

“I think that’s huge. With that comes poise. It has changed from last year in how he knows the offense. He’s so educated in being a quarterback. I think that’s going to help him on the road more than it did last year.”

Mallett’s on-the-field demeanor has been another area of concentration, too. Last year, Mallett appeared jittery in the pocket when pressed.

He was too emotional playing a level-headed position.

The goal: Stay calm. Concentrate on his footwork. Run the offense.

“This year I have done a pretty good job of staying even keel,” Mallett said. “That’s really what I have worked on since last year.”

It was evident last Saturday, when Mallett wasn’t at his best.

He and the offense had problems in the first half of the 31-7 win against Louisi-

ana-Monroe. Mallett was off target with several throws and affected by the amount of pressure Louisiana-Monroe threw at him.

But he did bounce back in the second half to lead the Razorbacks to four scoring drives in the second half. He finished with 400 passing yards, which was the third-highest total in school history.

“I think he had a spell this past weekend where he lost his cool for a few series,” McGee said. “What I was proud of is he went in the locker room, he regained his composure and he went out in the second half and his technique was better.”

The final results surprised McGee and Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino.

“I guess it’s a good thing when you feel like you’re out of sync and you’ve got a quarterback that’s real hard on himself and he threw for

400 yards in one game and 300 yards in the other game,” Petrino said.

But Arkansas knows it must improve, so Mallett said he and the offense are concentrating on correcting the problems. He said Arkansas has to buckle down early to finish drives. That means eliminating careless turnovers and avoiding drive-killing penalties.

It’s all part of success on the road, something Arkansas struggled with last season. But it’s something Mallett hopes to achieve with the Razorbacks after struggling - personally - in four road losses in 2009.

“I’m just going to go into this game like I am going to going into the rest of the games - prepared mentally and physically and go out and play as hard as I can and give my team a chance to win,” Mallett said.

2004 through the 2005 season. USC, under coach Pete Carroll, beat Oklahoma in the BCS title game on Jan. 4, 2005, and won 12 games during Bush’s Heisman-winning season, which ended with a loss to Texas in the 2006 BCS title game.

After the 2009 season, Carroll left USC to take over as coach of the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks.

“It is my hope that this situation serves as a teachable moment to all involved, especially for the young athletes and university and high school administrators of tomorrow,” Carroll said in a statement.

In July, USC replaced athletic director Mike Garrett with Pat Haden, and one of the first moves Haden made was returning USC’s copy of Bush’s Heisman Trophy.

“It was a very noble thing for Reggie to do,” Haden said.

“In my opinion, he made the right decision. It was a thoughtful decision by Reggie.

“It’s never a good thing to give a Heisman back. But at the end of the day, USC did the right thing when we gave

our Heisman back and now Reggie did, too.”

Bush’s decision ends four years of questions, debate and turmoil surrounding allegations that tainted one of the great performances in college football history.

“It doesn’t matter if he gives it back. Everyone still knows Reggie Bush was the best player that year. Look at the runs. He was clearly the best player,” said Johnny Rodgers, 1972 Heisman winner from Nebraska. “O.J. Simpson got accused of a murder and they didn’t take his back.

That was a far greater allegation, and they didn’t find O.J. guilty on that.”

Former Nebraska quarterback Eric Crouch, who won the Heisman in 2001, called it a “sad day.”

Eddie George, the 1995 Heisman winner from Ohio State, felt the same way: “I don’t think he should’ve gave his Heisman away. I think it’s a shame that it’s come to this for Reggie.”

USC won 34 straight games and two national titles during Bush’s sensational three-year career.

In 2005, he was spectacu-

lar, running for 1,740 yards, scoring 18 touchdowns and helping the Trojans reach the national championship game against Texas and Young.

In winning the Heisman, Bush received 784 first-place votes, the third-most in the history of the award and finished 933 points ahead of Young.

But it was Young who came away with the biggest prize.

He scored the winning touchdown with 19 seconds left in Texas’ 41-38 victory at the Rose Bowl. Bush’s most memorable play from the title game was an ill-advised lateral that resulted in a USC turnover.

Bush jumped to the NFL as a junior after that bowl game and was drafted by the Saints.

As a pro, he’s had some brilliant moments and has been a productive player. However, so far, he has fallen short of becoming the star he was projected to be.

“Now that this is behind me I look forward to the future and winning more awards and championships here in New Orleans! Who Dat!” Bush tweeted.

varsity football. We were breaking in some new offensive linemen.

“We’ve put a lot of emphasis in practice on who’s gonna be the person when the time comes. The kids have worked hard in practice getting ready, and they are finding a way to make a play when their number is called. And we’ve got several players, who when they get in one-on-one situations, they can make you miss.”

One challenge now is keeping the defense in shape.

“The way our offense has been socring, the defense has been on the field more,”

Ashcraft said.

It’s leading to an interesting non-conference showdown Friday with Rogers Heritage of 7A-West, another 2-0 team.

The form chart requires a calculator.

“They are actually scoring more points than we are,” Ashcraft said. “In their two victories, they have won by an average score of 56-17.”

The Cats are winning by an averaged margin of 54.525.5.

“I’m telling our players something has to give,” Ashcraft said.

Conway has also shot near the top of the state rankings,

both overall and in 7A, for the first time in several years.

That could be a double-edged sword.

“We’re making sure our kids keep working and not concentrate on what they’ve already done,” Ashcraft said.

“We don’t want to be satisfied.

Every practice, we want them to ask the question, ‘What can I do to get better?’ The important things are to stay hungry and to stay humble.”

Getting out of the gate fast (and efficiently) doesn’t eliminate the hurdles ahead.

the stats,” McGee said. “The bottom line is, did you win or not?”

When asked later about Mallett’s efficiency in road games, McGee added: “I don’t know. It was so long ago.”

The Razorbacks may not want to talk about it, but one fact must be noted: Mallett’s play alone can’t be blamed for Arkansas’ losses.

The Razorbacks also had a rash of dropped passes by receivers, protection problems up front and plenty of defensive miscues to go along with his struggles.

So tight end D.J. Williams said Arkansas can help its quarterback with an improved road performance. But he also said there’s a noticeable difference in Mallett as he prepares for Georgia, too.

“He just seems real comfortable now,” Williams said.

athlete,” Young posted on his Twitter account.

Allegations of improper benefits to Bush and his family were first reported by Yahoo! Sports in September 2006, months after Bush had already been drafted No. 2 overall by the Saints.

The NCAA and Pac-10 began investigating him and the USC football program soon afterward, and Bush immediately denied any wrongdoing.

One of the marketing agents, Lloyd Lake, sued Bush in trying to recoup nearly $300,000 in cash and gifts. Eventually, the case was settled and Bush never had to publicly tell his side of the story.

In handing out its penalties, the NCAA cited USC for a lack of institutional control.

Its report cited numerous improper benefits for Bush and former basketball player O.J. Mayo, who spent just one year with the Trojans.

The penalties included the loss of 30 football scholarships over three years and vacating 14 victories in which Bush played from December

Conway has displayed a quick-strike ability, on the ground and in the air. It has come from several different individuals, including a group of wide receivers who are working together extraordinarily well.

number of high-profile programs under scrutiny — Alabama, North Carolina, Michigan, Florida, South Carolina and Georgia among them — the penalty phase is getting more attention.

And Emmert thinks it is time to get tough.

“I can’t talk about any one of those cases, but the fact that we’ve got strong enforcement going on, I think, is a good thing,” he said.

It’s not just coaches and athletic departments Emmert is worried about. The NCAA has launched a widespread investigation into athletes who may have had improper contacts with agents. Two players — Alabama’s Marcell Dareus and Georgia’s A.J. Green — already have been punished.

Emmert said he is taking steps to ensure this does not become a trend. He has already contacted the pro leagues and representatives from various players’ associations and he

But with a bevy of promising young players, a onceproud franchise that totaled only 10 victories the past three years may actually be turning the corner.

Rivers drove San Diego to a first and goal from the 4 with 74 seconds to play and seemed almost certain to go in for the overtime-forcing score.

But a run and two missed passes only pushed the Chargers back 2 yards. Then on fourth down, harassed by defensive end Glenn Dorsey, Rivers missed again.

The players, especially the veterans who were around for last year’s 4-12 struggle and the 2-14 debacle of 2008, insisted they could sense in those final decisive seconds that something was different, something about themselves had changed.

“It was something special out there,” said Dorsey.

The third-year defender had perhaps his best game as a Chiefs with six tackles and half of the first sack the Chiefs have put on Rivers in more than a year.

Junior Gemma Hardie carded rounds or 78-80-158 and tied for 48th, while junior Sara Hillman shot 7584-159 and tied for 55th.

Junior Brooke Braun shot 77-83_160 and tied for 58th.

Arkansas State won the tournament at 598, followed by Kansas and Kansas State (599), UTSA (604), Texas State and Missouri (617), Iowa and Akron (618), James Madison (622), UCA, South Dakota State (625), North Dakota State (626), Nebraska (627), Sacramento State (633) and Creighton (646).

hasn’t ruled out lobbying states to enforce their own statutes regarding sports agents. An Associated Press examination earlier this year found that many of those laws are unused.

“It’s going to take a collective effort with the leagues and the players associations the coaches, the student-athletes themselves, to find out what the real tools are that we can use,” Emmert said. “The NCAA’s role is pulling all of the parties together. There’s no one silver bullet here.

“I’ve been involved with most of those (key) players in various stages, and it’s very early in the process. But I’m very encouraged with the progress we’re making.”

Emmert doesn’t take office until the first week of October, and he’s still meeting with NCAA employees and working out details of the transition. But at least university presidents know the soon-to-be University of Washington ex-president, who wants tougher penalties, understands the challenges of running a clean athletic program.

“We fought a hard-fought game. Nobody gave us a chance,” Dorsey said. “For us to come that far and dealing with our past, where maybe the other team might score in that situation, we all had that in the back of our mind, saying, ‘Not tonight.”’

Another good sign was the run defense. With almost every starter back from the defense that was 31st last year against the run, KC held the Chargers to 109 yards rushing on the wet turf.

“When you have a team that hasn’t come out on the ‘W’ side of things very often for a number of years, when you get into those situations and you have a lead or you’re close in a game, which we’ve had a number of, finishing the game is very critical,” said Haley.

“You need to see that success some. I know that’s real important to our players that they were able to come out on top of a game that meant a lot to a lot of people and means a lot to myself and our staff.

“That’s a real good thing.

I think that will help us as we go forward.”

There are about 10,000 species of sponges (in a huge variety of shapes, colors and sizes). Most live in oceans, but some are found in freshwater.

Sponges can thrive in both shallow and deep water.

Most ocean sponges live in warm, tropical seas.

Brain coral Boulder coral

Coral reefs grow as new polyps mature and develop their limestone skeleton.

The polyp does this by taking calcium from seawater and then depositing calcium carbonate (limestone) around the base of its body.

Vase sponge

Palmate sponge

Branched coral

Off northeastern Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is the largest known complex of coral reefs. It is 10 to 90 miles wide and about 1,250 miles long.

Lettuce coral

Skeletons

Fungus coral

A sponge’s skeleton supports and protects the body. Most sponges have a mineral skeleton made up of tiny spicules consisting of calcium carbonate (limestone) or silica, a glasslike mineral.

The bath-sponge skeleton consists of protein fibers called spongin. Other sponges have a combination of silica spicules, spongin fibers and an extensive limestone crystal base.

Dinnertime Coral polyps eat tiny swimming animals, such as the larvae (young) of many kinds of shellfish. Most reef-building corals are dependent on single-celled algae called zooxanthellae.

This relationship is symbiotic; the algae lives inside the polyp, and the polyp uses the algae’s waste as an important food source.

Sponges do not have heads, arms or internal organs, and once they are mature, they do not move from place to place. For centuries, people thought sponges were plants, but now we know they are animals.

Body basics Sponges require a constant flow of water through their bodies to obtain both food and oxygen and to remove waste. To this end, a sea sponge is covered with tiny pores, called ostia, which lead internally to a system of canals and eventually out to one or more larger holes, called oscula.

Sponges reproduce both sexually and asexually.

Most sponges are able to replace lost or injured body parts by growing new ones. This process is called regeneration.

On the menu Sponges eat tiny plants and animals that are transported in the water and filtered by the sponge.

Survival

Very useful

Various marine animals eat living stony corals, but humans are probably the most dangerous threat to coral reefs. Damage from boat anchors, overfishing, excessive fertilizaton and global warming are taking a terrible toll on reefs around the world.

Sponges and corals may form together on a reef.

For centuries, people have used sponges for cleaning and bathing. Today, most cleaning sponges are artificial, but living sponges are still harvested in some regions. Recently, scientists have discovered chemical compounds in sponges that may be used in medicines to fight cancer and other diseases.

Drunken indiscretion threatens happy roommate DEAR ABBY: I have gotten myself into a “pickle” and I don’t know how to get out of it.

I rent a house with two roommates (both males) and have always followed a strict rule of not dating roommates or co-workers. One night, I came home after having a few drinks with friends. One of my roommates was up and we started talking. Then he started kissing me. I wasn’t thinking clearly, and didn’t object when he trotted me off to my room.

I do like him, but only as a friend. There are no sparks for me as there are for him.

I don’t want this to happen again, but I don’t want to hurt him either. In an ideal world, I’d like to remain friends and roommates, not lovers. Do you have any suggestions? — CAN’T BELIEVE I BROKE MY RULE IN FLORIDA DEAR CAN’T BELIEVE: Yes, I do. You need to quit drinking or institute another “rule” that you’ll stop at two.

Inform your amorous roommate that in the cold sober light of day you regret what happened and don’t want to repeat it. It won’t “hurt” him; it will let him know where things stand, and it’s important that he get that message.

If you do remain roommates, maintain some distance — and don’t come home “pickled” again because you know what could happen if you do.

DEAR ABBY: I am a girl

Dear Abby in high school and have a friend, “Joey,” who is gay.

Joey saw another guy, “Eric,” who he thought was cute, and he made me go over and ask Eric’s friend if Eric is gay. His friend told me he is straight.

Eric lives in my neighborhood and we became good friends. He has asked me out and I would say yes, except that Joey said he likes him. Joey has never spoken to Eric and only likes him in an “appreciating” sense. And of course, there’s the fact that Eric isn’t gay.

What should I do? Does the “girl code” apply to your gay friends, too? — CONFLICTED IN THE SOUTH DEAR CONFLICTED: With the “girl code,” girls agree not to date men another girl has her sights set on — theoretically, because there is the possibility that he can be snagged if there’s no interference. But in a case like this, where a gay person “appreciates” someone who is straight, the chance is remote to nonexistent. Out of consideration for Joey’s feelings, talk with him about this. I’m

By Eugene Sheffer

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Spencer Pratt says his 12-hour detainment at a Costa Rica airport for arms possession has given him a chance at reconciliation with wife Heidi Montag.

Montag stood by him during what he called the “wildest day ever of either of our lives” and sparked hope that she might drop her divorce filing, Pratt said Monday.

“It was clear we’re soulmates. I don’t see any reason we can’t get back on track,” he said in Los Angeles after Saturday’s incident.

Police in San Jose, Costa Rica, said the couple were briefly detained at the airport for illegal arms possession after security officers found two unloaded handguns in their luggage. Pratt and Montag hadn’t declared the weapons and lacked permits to have them in Costa Rica, police said.

After questioning, they were released and allowed to leave the country, police said Monday.

The couple met on MTV’s popular reality series “The Hills” and their April 2009 wedding was featured on the show. Montag, 23, cited irreconcilable differences in her July divorce filing, which Pratt says won’t become final until early next year.

She indicated Monday she might have a change of heart.

“As far as I’m concerned the last thing in the world after everything we have just been through is to go through with this divorce,” Montag said in a text message. “But we are just taking life second by second.”

In a phone call, she praised Jesus for their release.

Pratt, 27, said he’d gone on a jungle retreat in Costa Rica for self-improvement and to convince Montag he could give up his fixation with fame (“Heidi gets sick of that,” he said). Montag stayed at a nearby villa while he roughed it for a month, taking an occasional break from nature, Pratt said.

He brought the 9MM and 45MM handguns and ammunition with him as protection, traveling by private jet to and from Costa Rica with the guns locked in his luggage, Pratt said.

“I wouldn’t have gone on a commercial flight” with weapons, he said. “I wouldn’t be that reckless.”

After returning to California together, Pratt asked Montag if he could join her at a fundraising walk for cancer last weekend. She agreed, and now Pratt wants to keep the magic alive with his wife, whose forays into plastic surgery have made her a tabloid favorite.

New Spidey star has prepped for role all his life TORONTO (AP) — Andrew Garfield has been playing Spider-Man since he was tiny. Now he’s putting on his childhood superhero’s suit for real.

With two major dramatic roles hitting theaters in the coming weeks, Garfield then follows in the title role for the new incarnation of the “Spider-Man” franchise, which begins shooting in December.

The 27-year-old Garfield can barely remember a time when Spidey and his average, awkward alter-ego Peter Parker were not part of his life.

His degree of devotion to the Marvel Comics hero?

“Massive. Since I was 4 years old,” Garfield said in an interview at the Toronto International Film Festival, where his drama “Never Let Me Go,” featuring Carey Mulligan and Keira Knightley, played ahead of its theatrical release Wednesday.

And the appeal of Peter Parker, the youth Garfield will play in the franchise’s fresh start after Tobey Maguire and director Sam Raimi opted out of a fourth “Spider-Man” flick?

“His youth, his relatability, his struggle. He was just this skinny boy. He was a skinny boy who felt stronger on the inside than he

‘Every single generation of the comic, the cartoons and the movies, it all means a great deal to me. It was always something that gave me hope as a skinny little kid whose sense of injustice about the world didn’t match his sense of strength about his body.’

— Andrew Garfield

looked on the outside, and I related to it immediately, and it stayed with me as I grew up.

“Every single generation of the comic, the cartoons and the movies, it all means a great deal to me. It was always something that gave me hope as a skinny little kid whose sense of injustice about the world didn’t match his sense of strength about his body. I found it so inspiring and uplifting and reassuring. To be a part of that mythology and that legacy is a true honor.”

Born in the United States and raised in Britain, Garfield described himself as a confused child growing up, introspective and dissatisfied at school until he did a student play at the encouragement of a teacher.

Garfield went on to drama school, did theater and television roles, then was cast by Robert Redford in his waron-terror drama “Lions for Lambs.” He won a BAFTA — the British Emmy — for his starring role in the 2007 youth drama “Boy A” and costarred in Heath Ledger’s final film, “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.” “‘Boy A’ was like, perfect.

I couldn’t find any fault with it,” said “Never Let Me Go” director Mark Romanek. “I had seen ‘Lions for Lambs,’ and he’s stunning in that. He sits in there in a room and holds his own with Robert Redford, one on one, in half a dozen scenes.”

“Never Let Me Go” casts Garfield, Mulligan and Knightley as friends at a British boarding school in an

September 12 - 18, 2010

alternate reality where the cruelest of fates awaits them and their classmates.

While the debate has raged among fans over how good a Spider-Man Garfield will turn out to be, Mulligan said her co-star will swing for the stars.

“Those big superhero films or comic films only ever work when the actors are completely truthful. If they go in with a stylized, comic book version of the performance, it’s not going to work. But I know that Andrew will play the truth of what it’s like to be that man in that situation,” Mulligan said.

“I think it’ll be like what Heath Ledger did with the Joker,” she added. “Andrew, he has no other way of working other than doing things with complete truth.”

Hitting theaters in October is David Fincher’s “The Social Network,” in which Garfield co-stars as the best friend and colleague of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg).

Garfield is about to begin his training regimen for the “Spider-Man” film, directed

by Marc Webb (“(500) Days of Summer”).

“We’re just talking about where we want to go with it and what kind of body shape it should be. What the skill set should be,” Garfield said.

“I know I’m going to be doing a lot of flexibility training and a lot of strength training, because I have to swing and stuff. I’m just guessing, but it’s all kind of early stages.”

The “Spider-Man” casting announcement over the summer made Garfield an instant celebrity, yet he hopes to find ways to avoid giving up his anonymity entirely.

“I’ll do everything I can to avoid it, I think, by not associating myself as a brand, just by associating myself as an actor and not trying or pretending to be anything else. I’m just a performer who plays roles. I don’t want to be a celebrity. I don’t want to be famous. I just want to have a nice, fun life, creating things that I want to create,” Garfield said.

“I’m not doing it for any of the peripheral stuff. We could be making a short film, a short Spider-Man film with an unknown director, with no money, and I’d do it just to be able to play as Spider-Man,” the actor explained. “That’s like a childhood fantasy come to life. It’s an adult fantasy, as well. I’m still climbing up the door frames in my house. It’s just a bigger space I’m going to be climbing in now, with a bit more money behind it, and the cameras filming it.”

CBC receives military school honor Central Baptist College has been named by G.I. Jobs magazine as a Military Friendly School again for 2011. This honor ranks CBC in the top 15% of all colleges, universities and trade schools nationwide.

G.I. Jobs magazine shows their appreciation annually by giving each of the selected schools the title of Military Friendly School for the upcoming year. In addition, each school is published in G.I. Jobs’ annual Guide to Military Friendly Schools.

Central Baptist College is listed in the 2010-2011 Edition that will be released in Sept. 2010. The tens of billions

of dollars in tuition money, now available with the recent passage of the Post-9/11 G.I. Bill, has intensified an already strong desire by colleges to court veterans into their classrooms.

“This list is especially important now because the recently enacted Post-9/11 G.I. Bill has given veterans virtually unlimited financial means to go to school,” said Rich McCormack, G.I. Jobs publisher.

“Veterans can now enroll in any school, provided they’re academically qualified. So schools are clamoring for them like never before. Veterans need a trusted friend to help

Lawyer: Kid Rock defending himself in ’07 fight

By KATE BRUMBACK Associated Press Writer

DECATUR, Ga. — Kid Rock and his entourage were trying to defend themselves from another customer at a suburban Atlanta Waffle House when a fight broke out in 2007, said a lawyer for the musician who was in court Tuesday.

The entertainer, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, and five people who were with him that night are being sued over the fight. Harlen Akins claims the group beat him for

no reason and is seeking unspecified punitive damages and $6,000 in medical fees, according to his lawyer.

The entertainer and his party behaved “like a pack of wild animals,” starting a fight inside the restaurant and pursuing Akins into the parking lot to beat him up before leaving in their tour bus, Akins’ lawyer Eric Hertz said in his opening statement in a DeKalb County court.

Akins demonstrated “a pattern of provocation and escalation,” while Kid Rock and his party consistently tried to de-

fuse the situation, said William Horton, a lawyer for Kid Rock and five others being sued.

Akins arrived at the restaurant alone shortly after 5 a.m. on Oct. 21, 2007. Kid Rock, who had given a concert in Atlanta earlier, arrived in his tour bus around the same time.

Akins and two women in Kid Rock’s party, one of whom he had known for years, began talking. Kid Rock was either jealous that Akins was getting the attention or was insulted by what Akins was saying to the women, but either way, a physical attack

was unjustified, Hertz said.

Horton countered that Akins got into an argument with the women and with Kid Rock, who tried to calm things down by offering to buy Akins’ breakfast.

It was Akins who kept trying to provoke an argument, Horton said.

As witness testimony got under way, the jury saw parts of a Waffle House surveillance video of the fight. The video shows the parties fighting, but there is no sound so jurors couldn’t hear what was being said.

them decide where to get educated. The Military Friendly Schools list is that trusted friend.”

The list was compiled after G.I. Jobs polled more than 7,000 schools nationwide.

The methodology, criteria and weighting for the list were developed with the assistance of an Academic Advisory Committee (AAC) consisting of educators and administrators from Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Toledo, Duquesne University, Coastline Community College and Lincoln Technical Institute.

CBC President Terry Kimbrow said, “We have a strong

commitment to our men and women in the military and will continue to do whatever it takes to honor their service to our country. It is a distinct privilege to be included on this list.”

This is a remarkable award for Central Baptist College and it kicks off a record breaking semester by surpassing the 700 student marker for the first time in school history.

The combination of recent record growth and this award reflects the overall success due to the hardworking, committed employees and students that make up Central Baptist College

FCC asked to block Skechers’ cartoon series

By DAVID CRARY AP National Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — An advocacy group on Tuesday asked the Federal Communications Commission to block a soon-to-debut TV cartoon show starring characters first created to market Skechers footwear to children.

Unless banned, the group said, the show could pave the way for Ronald McDonald, Tony the Tiger and other iconic cartoon pitchmen to become stars of their own series — potentially inundating children’s television with what amounted to full-length commercials.

The complaint was filed with the FCC by the Bostonbased Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood, targeting a series called “Zevo-3” that’s scheduled to premiere Oct. 11 on the cable network Nicktoons. Its three teenage, super-powered heroes — tasked to save New Eden City from evil monsters — have previously appeared in comic books and TV ads promoting Skechers’ line of children’s shoes.

The main characters “are walking and talking advertisements for specific lines of Skechers shoes,” said the complaint. It depicted “Zevo-3” as “the first children’s television program starring characters that are known to children only as commercial logos and spokescharacters.”

Specifically, the complaint said the half-hour show would violate a federal requirement in the Children’s Television Act that that no cable TV operator shall air more than 12 minutes of commercial matter per hour during children’s programming. The show also would violate the FCC’s requirement of a clear separation between commercial content and programming matter, the complaint said.

Kristen Van Cott, co-executive producer of “Zevo-3” and a senior vice president of Skechers Entertainment, said she and her colleagues had worked hard to ensure the show conforms with FCC provisions and were confident it would air on schedule.

“Skechers Entertainment is tremendously proud of ’Zevo3,”’ she said in a statement.

“It’s a fun, action-packed and beautifully animated series.”

There are no overt pitches for Skechers’ products in the cartoons, and Van Cott said the plot lines “often reflect issues that kids deal with on a daily basis — from peer pressure and bullying to relationships with family and friends.”

A spokesman for Nicktoons, David Bittler, responded concisely to the complaint: “This show does not violate the Children’s Television Act.” Susan Linn, director of the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood, said she did not know what timetable the FCC might set for considering the complaint.

“It’s our hope they’ll act quickly and decisively,” she said. “We believe that the show violates several of the few existing rules we have to protect children from overcommercialization.”

According to background in the complaint, there were plans back in the early 1990s for children’s TV shows based on commercial spokescharacters — one that would have featured Chester Cheetah, who pitched Frito-Lay products, and another that would have starred Cheesasaurus Rex, a cheese-colored dinosaur who appeared in ads for Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.

Plans for both shows were dropped after an advocacy coalition raised objections with the FCC. “Now Skechers and Nicktoons are attempting to escalate commercialization on children’s television,” the complaint said. “If they are successful, we can expect other companies to follow suit.

“A McDonald’s show featuring Ronald McDonald, a Burger King show featuring the King, a Kellogg show featuring Tony the Tiger these are just some the possible children’s television programs we may see in the future.”

The three heroes of “Zevo3” — Z-Strap, Elastika and Kewl Breeze — were created

by Skechers several year ago to promote sales of shoes to children, and each is linked to a particular shoe.

“For children, these characters have become the embodiment of the shoe lines they represent,” said the complaint.

“So much so that retailers report that kids often ask for a shoe by character name rather than the shoe model.”

Spike Lee to direct John Legend, Roots webcast NEW YORK (AP) — Spike Lee will direct a live webcast of a concert featuring John Legend and the Roots.

The concert, to be held in New York on Sept. 23, is the second part of “Unstaged,” a live concert series presented

by American Express. The first was an Arcade Fire concert, whose webcast in August from Madison Square Garden was directed by Terry Gilliam.

The live stream will be webcast on YouTube, via the music video website Vevo. Various interactive elements will also be offered, including an option for viewers to select their camera view.

“It’s not necessarily a Spike Lee joint,” Lee said. “It’s a John Legend and the Roots joint.”

Lee most recently released his second New Orleans documentary, “If God is Willing and da Creek Don’t Rise,” but several of his recent films have focused on live performance.

“Kobe Doin’ Work” documented

Kobe Bryant in a single NBA game, and “Passing Strange” filmed the Broadway musical.

“I like doing stuff live,” Lee said. “Especially with someone like Kobe. I can’t stop the game.

You got to be ready for almost anything. We can’t stop this concert, either. Going to have to go with the flow.”

Lee has also previously documented performances by John Leguizamo, Luciano Pavarotti and the comedians of “The Original Kings of Comedy.”

“It’s not about my stamp,” says Lee. “You want to see the stamp of John Leguizamo, you want to see the stamp of Stew with ‘Passing Strangers,’ the stamp of Pavarotti. I’m just there to help facilitate that.”

American Express is planning three more concerts for “Unstaged” later this year, but hasn’t yet announced those acts.

Legend and the Roots will be performing two days after the release of their album “Wake Up!”

NOTICE OF ANNUAL SCHOOL ELECTION IN CONWAY SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1 OF FAULKNER COUNTY, ARKANSAS In accordance with the requirements of Ark. Code Ann. § 6-14-109, notice is hereby given that the annual school election in the above named school district will be held on September 21, 2010, for the following purposes: To elect 2 members to the Board of Directors for a term of 5 years; To submit the question of voting a total school tax rate (state and local) of 38.1 mills on the dollar of the assessed value of taxable property located in this School District.
