‘State of City’
MEET ME AT THE FISHINʼ HOLE

Through hard work and scholarship assistance, a number of single parents in Saline
County are getting the support they need
for a college education.
It isn’t an easy accomplishment, however,
according to Heather
Hilterbrand, one of
the recipients.
Working a full-time
job while carrying
a full course load at
college can be tough,
she acknowledges.
“It requires
good time-management skills,” said
Hilterbrand, a student
at Pulaski Technical
College.
Regardless of how
taxing the process can be, the single parent says she doesn’t let that detract her
from what she considers to be her primary
responsibility — being a full-time mother.
“I have a good support system – my mother helps me out a lot,” Hilterbrand said.
This spring the CADC Single Parent
Scholarship Fund program will salute hardworking single parents like Hilterbrand at
the annual Luncheon on the Courthouse
Lawn.
The event is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 1
p.m. May 14 on the courthouse grounds.
Saline County Judge Jeff Arey, a sponsor
of the event, noted that the fundraiser high-

Boots in hand, firefighters
to tackle muscle disease
By Joe Phelps
jphelps@bentoncourier.com
Benton firefighters on
Friday hope the public will
join them in a nationwide
fundraiser for muscular dystrophy.
From 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.,
on-duty and off-duty firemen will be at two locations
— Military and Ferguson,
and at the Alcoa Exchange
intersection — with old
rubber fire boots in hand.
Cash or coins can be placed
in those boots, and all
the proceeds will benefit
the Muscular Dystrophy
Association.
This year’s Fill the Boot
event will mark the 61st year
the International Association
of Firefighters has partnered
with MDA, and the Benton
Fire Department has participated since the 1980s,
said Ty Foreman, secretary/
treasurer of the Benton
Firefighter Local 2765 union.
“Thanks to the generosity
of the citizens of Benton and
Saline County,” Foreman
said BNFD and the local
union collected $8,088 for
MDA last year in a span of
just four hours.
According to the MDA’s
website, the longstanding
partnership “fuels MDA’s
mission to save and improve
the lives of people affected
by muscle disease.”
To date, IAFF has raised
nearly $558 million for MDA,
according to the website.
The Bryant Fire
Department will hold their
own Fill the Boot campaign
at a later date this year.

— From the First Amendment to Constitution
‘Tight’ blood sugar
control may not be
best course for some
DEAR DOCTOR K: I have Type 2 diabetes. For
years, my doctor emphasized the importance of tight
blood sugar control. But I recently read that tight control might not make sense for everyone. Why not?
DEAR READER: Millions of people with diabetes,
and their doctors, are asking themselves the same
question. It’s a confusing and controversial area. I’ll
do my best to put it in context and to explain my own
views.
People with Type 2 diabetes have high levels of
blood sugar if they don’t take medication that lowers their blood sugar level.
Some medicines that successfully
lower blood sugar -- particularly insulin
and sulfonylurea drugs -- can be too
successful, however: They can drop
sugar levels too low. This can produce
confused thinking, sleepiness, falls and
fractures, loss of consciousness and
even death.
Dr.
So the goal in treating diabetes is to
Komaroff
lower high blood sugar levels to normal, but not to below normal. Getting
the levels down to normal is called “tight control” of
blood sugar.
There are two ways of measuring blood sugar. You
can measure the sugar level at the moment that you
sample the blood, or you can estimate what the average sugar level has been over the past two to three
months using a test called hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c).
Most doctors urge their diabetic patients to aim for an
HbA1c of 7 percent or less. This is considered tight
control.
Aiming for tight blood sugar control makes sense
for almost all patients when they are first diagnosed
with Type 2 diabetes. In large part, that’s because it
often can be achieved with diet and exercise alone.
Diet and exercise sometimes can lower blood sugar
levels to normal -- without the risk of dropping them
too low.
Several studies over the past decade have indicated
that using medicines to achieve tight control in older
ill patients may lead to worse health than shooting for
somewhat less than tight control. Tight control may be
too much of a good thing. A more modest goal (targeting an HbA1c level between 7 percent and 8.9 percent,
for example) might make more sense.
A recent study of 1,288 people age 65 or older found
that about two-thirds of people in relatively poor health
had achieved an average HbA1c of 7 percent or less
over the 10-year study period.
That sounds like good news: Controlling blood
sugar helps prevent long-term health problems. But
the authors of the study argue that for the sicker
patients, that long-term benefit would likely be outweighed by the short-term risks of periodically causing dangerously low blood sugar. Their study did
not directly demonstrate such health risks; it was not
designed to do so.
If you are taking insulin or sulfonylurea drugs,
particularly if you have several other diseases besides
diabetes, talk to your doctor. You might benefit from
more frequent home blood sugar testing to detect
low blood sugar. If the testing reveals that your blood
sugar sometimes gets below normal, maybe it’s better
to reduce the dose of medicine a bit.

Our next president
should be a homebody
W
e might as well say it: The
world is a mess, and a
mess that could seriously
influence the future of the United
States.
WHAT:
This week, the Saudis started
bombing Yemen and threatened
to soon come in
by foot across the
daunting mountains
that separate the
Sunni Saudis from
the Shiite Yemenis.
It must be noted
that this is not
something new for
the Yemenis, for
they have been at
Georgie
war -- mostly with
A
nne Gyer
themselves -- for
centuries.
Up north in Iraq, you need a constantly evolving program to identify
the players. But let’s just agree that,
in general, the Iranians have sent
their most mean-spirited troops,
those of the Quds brigade, under
their meanest general to support the
put-upon Shiites in Iraq. A restored
Iraqi Sunni government military is
supposed to fight alongside them,
but there is considerable confusion
about this.
The intention is to degrade,
destroy and demolish the heinous
ISIS or Islamic State of mainly
pathological killers from around the
world and teenaged boys from the
West who haven’t found enough
excitement at home. But all of this is
confusing to the U.S., which thought
it was building a unified Islamic state
of Sunnis and Shiites and Kurds in
Iraq and ended up with Dante’s lower
levels of Hell.
Saddam’s Iraq -- he ruled roughly
from 1973 to 2003 -- was one of the
cruelest and most evil states in history, but it also served, in a Middle
East that has been the poisoned
heart of endless killing among clans,
tribes and religions, as a kind of rock
in the center of that upheaval, which
has kept peoples and governments in
the region in relative stasis.
But when the U.S., expecting to
be welcomed with flowers, invaded
Iraq in 2003 to establish a democracy
and leave in six months, something
else happened.
WHY:
The designers of the patently
unwise invasion by the Yanks of what
was once Mesopotamia seemed to
have no idea whatsoever of this role
played by Iraq. And yet, Washington
had supported Iraq throughout the
1980s in its war with Iran when the
Shiite clergy came to power there.
What the two sides were really fighting for -- a geopolitical balance of
players and fighters in the Middle
East -- escaped the American players
completely.
Once the Americans left early
in the Obama presidency, and Iraq
virtually collapsed under the futility
of a Shiite presidency that did not
include the Sunnis in governance,
massacring groups like the Islamic
State formed to defend the Sunnis,
illustrating the lengths to which
socially and psychologically untethered young men in the region and
elsewhere would go to escape their
aimlessness.
From there, an all-out SunniShiite war began, spreading across
the entire Middle East, with Egypt
now attacking Libya, with Syria serving as the center of operations, and
even with Nigerian militias attacking
Niger and Cameroon.
WHENCE:
To question what comes next
offers a great extravagance of possibilities and a few dark probabilities.
The entire region could collapse
into intra-religious and even intergroup rivalry and killing. This area,
where three great religions were
founded and civilization grew from
the Prophet Abraham walking down
from the great city of Ur to spread
his wisdom across the Middle East,
Europe and eventually America,
could now witness the death of civilization. The Islamic State has already
been systematically destroying the
precious artifacts of humanity from
Hatra to Nineveh to Mosul.
There is, of course, the possibility
that somehow, somewhere, sometime, the region could coagulate
again -- that the two major arms of
Islam could negotiate, or mediate, or
come together in some kind of agreement. But at this time, it is difficult to
see how this could happen.
One possibility for hope is the
fact that the Arab states said recently
they had agreed to form a combined
military force -- but it is meant to
counter not only Islamist radicalism
but also Iranian influence. This has
good possibilities, although it could
also mean all-out war between the
Arab and the Iranian strains of Islam.
The best thing said upon the
announcement of a combined military force is that analysts see it as a
vehicle to deal with the increasingly
hated American influence in the
region. Indeed, it is Washington’s
intervention that most analysts agree
was the catalyst, whether in the
1980s in support of the anti-Soviet
mujahedeen in Afghanistan or in the
invasion of Iraq, for changing the
map of the Middle East.

Compassion
goes both
ways
E
xcited protests against Indiana’s
recently passed religious freedom law have highlighted both
America’s growing support for same-sex
marriage and our apparent incapacity to
entertain more than one idea at a time.
The law in question is a version of
the 1993 federal Religious Freedom and
Restoration Act (RFRA), which was signed
by President Bill Clinton. Nineteen states,
including Indiana, have versions of the
law, and another 11 have interpreted their
state constitutions as already providing
these protections. Without diving into the
weeds, the law aims to
protect religious freedom
against government
action that abridges deeply held convictions.
Indiana’s law isn’t
exactly the same as the
federal version — or of
some other state laws —
and it isn’t clear whether
these distinctions consti- Kathleen
tute a difference justifyParker
ing the current level of
outrage. They include
extending protection to corporations as
well as individuals; expanding protections
against government actions that are “likely” to be substantially burdensome; and,
perhaps most problematic, allowing claims
of religious-freedom infringement even if
the government isn’t involved.
Nevertheless, after a difficult week of
criticism and protests aimed at Indiana,
Gov. Mike Pence (R) announced Tuesday
that he would push his state’s assembly
to pass legislation stating that the new law
does not give businesses a right to deny
services to anyone.
This may be exactly so, but it wouldn’t
necessarily preclude individuals or corporations from denying services to same-sex
couples and then defending themselves on
religious principle.
Based on what Pence said, it would
merely make clear that the state doesn’t
authorize or condone such refusal of services or any other discriminatory action.
But discrimination remains a personal
choice, which can be defended in individual cases under RFRA. Does anyone really
object to this option? Isn’t it fair to allow
religious people a framework for seeking
recourse through the courts?
Refusing services because of a religious
belief doesn’t lend solace to those who are
seeking complete equality without exception. (For the record, I am solidly in this
camp, but I do have compassion for those
whose religious convictions make compromise impossible.)
As Clinton said at the time of the federal
law’s passage, freedom of religion is “perhaps the most precious of all American liberties.” Though the First Amendment was
intended to protect citizens from religious
persecution and the imposition of a state
religion, inferentially, it also has protected
religious believers from being forced by
government fiat to renounce their belief in
attendance to some government action.
The most familiar recent case involved
a baker who didn’t want to make a wedding cake for a gay couple. The question
is whether the baker has the right, owing
to religious beliefs, to refuse to bake the
cake. If you think this is silly, consider
that RFRA first came about to protect the
rights of Native Americans to consume
peyote in religious ceremonies.
The theoretical abuses on both sides
can be endlessly entertaining. Should we
also allow the slaughter of pets as sacrifices to someone’s God? Even Abraham
believed that God required he slay his
own son. Abraham almost did, too, before
God intervened, satisfied that Abraham
sufficiently feared Him, whereupon a ram
materialized on his own very worst day.
But we’re not talking about silly or
extreme exceptions.
If even a few Christians, Jews or
Muslims understand marriage to be the
sacred union of man and woman in the
eyes of God, activists seeking a fresh definition shouldn’t expect an immediate surrender. This doesn’t justify the refusal of a
wedding cake, the baking of which hardly
qualifies as an endorsement, but nor does
it justify charges of bigotry, as is often said
of religious people struggling with profound social restructuring.
This isn’t an excuse for what is, in fact,
discrimination by any other name. It is an
attempt at compassion sorely missing from
most discussions of this and other laws
that try to carve out a tiny space for people
whose religious beliefs are being put
asunder. As gay activist and conservative
author Andrew Sullivan wrote last year,
“We should give them [religious believers] space.”
Such as by, say, going to another bakery?
The market ultimately may settle these
matters before the courts do. Pence’s
latest move was prompted by corporate
pressure as well as a few boycotts on statefunded travel to the Hoosier state.
As Indiana moves to clarify its intent,
the perception of discrimination will persist until RFRA laws are eliminated. This
is the goal of many activists. But discrimination is a two-way street, and tolerance
should apply equally to sexual orientation
as well as to religious belief.

Benton, Bryant centers take part in annual March for Meals
By Lynda Hollenbeck

Officials of two Saline
County cities and community volunteer did their part
to contribute to the success
of the annual March for
Meals campaign, according to Robin Freeman
of the Central Arkansas
Development Center.
CADC sponsors the
annual program at the
Benton and Bryant
senior wellness and activity centers, located at 210
Jefferson St. in Benton and
at The Center on Boone
Road in Bryant.
Both centers began the
campaign March 16.
The Benton Center
kicked off the project
with Benton Mayor David
Mattingly delivering meals
following a presentation at
the center.
Mattingly issued a proclamation about the observance and read it to those
attending the center’s opening ceremony.
Benton center director
Sherry Parsons said the
meals program serves as
“an important reminder
about the need for programs that address senior
hunger in Arkansas.”
“Adequate nutrition is
necessary for the health
and functionality of our
seniors and enhances their
ability to remain independent,” Parsons said.
“Our Meals on Wheels
service ensures that seniors
have nutritious meals even
when family support, mobility and resources are lacking,” she said.
Parsons said volunteers
who deliver meals perform
“an important safety check
of homebound and disabled

seniors.”
“The special delivery is
the reason for some seniors
to get up on the morning,
gives them something to
look forward to and is a
reminder to take good care
of themselves,” she said.
“Currently there are
approximately 90 participants involved in the program here,” she said.
The Benton Center is
open Monday through
Friday between 7:30 a.m.
and 3:30 p.m. and provides
a range of activities for
seniors ages 60 and older,
including nutrition, health
and wellness, education,
socialization and transportation.
Both centers offer a variety of activities including
exercise, social interaction,
competitive games, dances,
book clubs, excursions,
computer training, trans-

The campaign at the
Bryant center got underway with Mayor Jill
Dabbs and Alderman B.E.
Higginbotham delivering
meals on the opening day.
The following day, officers of the Bryant Police
Department delivered
meals; and on the third
day Bryant Alderman Rob
Roedel took part in the
deliveries.
Later in the week members of the Bryant Area
Chamber of Commerce
delivered meals.
Mary Vickers, site manager in Bryant, noted that
all funds raised through
the campaign support the
continuation of the meal
delivery program.
“In this tough economy,
the food and human contact
we provide to seniors in
this community is needed
more than ever,” Vickers
said.”Our homebound residents count on us.”
Vickers encouraged community residents to sponsor
fundraisers to support the
home-delivered meals program, to volunteer at the
centers, or to advocate for
the service.
“The March for Meals
Campaign is a time when
our community comes
together to stand with our
aging population and make
an impact on senior hunger
in the Bryant area,”she
said.
CADC officials say
the Bryant and Benton
centers give older adults
support and encouragement to reach new levels
of independence, fostering
educational and emotional
wellness for persons 60 and
older.
March for Meals is a
national campaign held
during March, initiated and
sponsored by the Meals
On Wheels Association of
America to raise awareness of senior hunger and
to encourage action on
the part of local communities.¬†
Both the Benton and
Bryant centers are programs of the Central
Arkansas Development
Center, a private nonprofit
community action agency
that was formed in 1965.
The mission of CADC is
to improve the quality of
life and build strong communities in Arkansas.

Freshman Raven Loveless throws a pitch in the Lady Hornets 11-0
win over the Mount St. Mary’s Belles on Wednesday. Loveless
went 3 for 3 with two RBI and struck out 9 in five innings.
Lady Hornets
From page 6
“It’s what we wanted,”
Bryant Coach Debbie Clark
said of the start of conference. “We’re still going
game by game, inning by
inning. It’s April, but it’s
early in the season because
of the weather. We hoped
that Raven would be the
pitcher that she is and is
going to develop into. We’re
using her right now as
much as we can.”
The Lady Hornets (4-1,
1-0 Central) got the scoring
started early when freshman leadoff Regan Ryan
reached on an infield single
and senior Abby Staton
doubled to put runners at
second and third. Junior
catcher Julie Ward plated
Ryan with a sacrifice fly
to centerfield and senior
Jordan Williams scored
Staton with a sac fly of her
own for the 2-0 lead after
one.
Daniele Singleton walked
and Sarah Evans reached
on a bunt single to start
the second inning before
Ryan’s double to left scored
Singleton and Staton’s
ground out scored Evans
for the 4-0 advantage.
Senior Cayla McDowell
plated another with a single
to center, one of her four
hits on the day. Loveless

In the circle, Loveless
was dominant giving up a
soft single to right in the
first inning and one in the
third, retiring seven and
six in a row at one point,
including four Ks straight.
She didn’t walk a batter and
gave up three hits to go
with her nine strikeouts.
“She’s got so many
assets,” Clark said of
Loveless. “She’s 5-11, she
has that mentality. She’s got
that game face. And she can
hit. I’ve had several college
coaches ask for our schedule.”
Bryant scored three
more in the fourth inning
when five consecutive
singles included RBIs from
Williams, Mallory Theel and
Singleton. McDowell added
an RBI single in the fifth for
the 11-0 final.
The Lady Hornets
banged out 15 hits with
McDowell going 4 for 4
with two runs and two RBI,
Loveless 3 for 3 with two
RBI, and Ryan 3 for 4 with
three runs and a stolen
base. Staton, Williams,
Theel, Singleton and Evans
each had a hit as well.

school record in the 100meter dash and broke his
own record in the 400meter dash in winning both
events. Winn’s time in the
100 was 10.83, which broke
the 35-year old record of
10.84. In the 400, Winn ran
49.19 with Steven Murdock
in second place in a new
personal-record time of
49.91. Murdock then won
the 200 meter dash in a
state qualifying time of
22.41.
“Winn’s times in the 100and 400-meter dashes was
not a surprise,” Oury said.
“He has been looking strong
in practice. I’m also really
happy for Steven Murdock.
He has been knocking on
the door of breaking 50 seconds in the 400 for a long
time, so it was great to see
him finally break through.”
Also earning victories for
the Hornets were Brenden
Young in the 110 hurdles
(15.22) and the 300 hurdles
(40.76). Both times were
state qualifying marks for
Young. MarKevius Nelson
won the triple jump with a
distance of 43’ 4.5”.
“Young set a new personal record in the 110 hurdles
and Nelson was rock solid
in all three jumping events,”
Oury said.
Also scoring for the
Hornets were Pierce
Finney in the 200-meter
dash (7th in 23.63), John
Carder in the 1600-meter
run (4th in 4:50.88), Joe
Sartini in the 1600-meter
run (7th in 5:01.45), the
4x100-meter relay team of
Nelson, Young, Finney, and
Murdock (2nd in 43.37), the
4x800-meter relay team of
Devon Davis, Dru Wen, Joe
Sartini, and Charlie Terry
(3rd in 8:31.16), MarKevius
Nelson in the high jump
(4th at 6’ 0”), Justin Combs
in the pole vault (2nd at 13’
0”), MarKevius Nelson in
the long jump (2nd in 20’
11”), Devon Davis in the
long jump (5th in 19’ 7.25”),
Devon Davis in the triple
jump (5th in 40’ 7”), Dany
Murillo in the shot put (5th
in 42’ 1”), and Devon Waite
in the shot put (7th in 40’
7.5”).
“Thursday we will be
splitting the team and sending crews to Russellville
and Hot Springs Lakeside,”
Oury said. “The Russellville
meet usually draws a lot
of the northwest Arkansas
teams, so we know the competition will be very tough.
The Lakeside meet will give
some guys an opportunity to
compete who didn’t get to
run in Cabot.”

Markets drift as investors Sweep
await U.S. payroll debacle

markets is that the Fed will
start raising borrowing rates
in either June or September.
• Joe Smothers, 39, for
failing to appear in court for
narcotics violations.
• Stacy Watkins, 36, for
failing to appear in court for
narcotics violations.
ANALYST TAKE: “Further
bad news should push the
timing of a Fed rate hike
back, and this will be good
forstocks, but for the moment
investors are fretting about
the news and not thinking
about the potentially beneficial implications,” said Chris
Beauchamp, Senior Market
Analyst at IG.
Officers were separated
into six teams of five people
with a K-9. No officers
or suspects were injured
during the operation, said
Sheriff Rodney Wright. This
operation “is just one of
many steps Sheriff Wright
is taking to promote safe,
secure neighborhoods in
Saline County,” Silk said.
ASIAN DATA: The mood
during the focus in Asia
earlier was perky as traders
pondered the possibility of
another Chinese stimulus
following a run of weak economic data.

Nikkei 225 rose 1.5 percent to
19,312.79 and South Korea’s
Kospi was nearly flat at
2,029.07. Hong Kong’s Hang
Seng advanced 0.8 percent
to 25,275.64 while Australia’s
S&P/ASX 200 gained 0.6
percent to 5,898.60. Stocks
in mainland China opened

The trailer will be stationed
in Arkadelphia, which is
the mid-point of the region,
Welch noted.
Julian Jaeger, president of
the Arkadelphia Lions Club,
will oversee the program in
that area, he added.
The overall goal is to place
a disaster relief trailer in
every Lions district, particularly in the South, he said.
“This is because in this
area of the country there are
a large number of disasters,”
he said.
“District 7N already had
one of the trailers,” he added.
Local Lions Club members started working on the
project approximately two
months ago with the request
for quotes on trailers and on
the graphics.
“We placed the order for
the trailer six weeks ago
and celebrated its arrival on
March 13 at the Everett dealership,” he said.
“It’s a wonderful program,”
Welch said. “The trailer is
outfitted with emergency
supplies not provided by the
Red Cross.
He mentioned such things
as “blankets, toothbrushes,
toothbrushes, underwear.”
“When something like this
happens, people lose everything,” he said. “We’re trying to fill in the middle gap,
unlike what the Red Cross
does.
“The ALERT trailer will
give us a quick way to get
to the site of a disaster,” he
said.
“Susie and Chad agreed to
finance it from the start, and
when the cost came in under
what we expected, that was
even better,” he said.
“But we’ve been excited
about this from the beginning,” Welch said.
Susie Everett commended
the Lions Club members for
the project.
“We were happy to be a
part of what the Lions Club
members are doing,” she
said. “Their motto is to serve
and this is a great way to get
involved, especially when
there’s a disaster in our area.
“We ended up financing
the cost of the trailer,” she

LONDON — Following an
impressive session in Asia,
markets in Europe drifted
Thursday as traders were
reluctant to stake out positions in the run-up to key U.S.
payrolls data.
KEEPING SCORE: In
Europe, Britain’s FTSE 100
was down 0.1 percent at 6,806
while the CAC-40 in France
rose 0.1 percent to 5,068.
Germany’s DAX was down 0.1
percent at 11,995. U.S. stocks
were poised for a similarly
subdued opening with Dow
futures and the broader S&P
500 futures down 0.2 percent.
US JOBS DATA
LOOMING: The tepidness in
the markets is a clear indication of unease ahead of job
figures Friday that could have
a bearing on expectations on
when the Federal Reserve
will start raising interest rates
again. The monthly nonfarm
payrolls figures often set the
market tone for a week or
two after their release. On
Wednesday, slightly disappointing figures from ADP,
the private payrolls firm,
stoked some uncertainty over
the official data, which have
largely impressed over recent

He noted that the area

said.
“Lions Club member
are good people,” she said.
“They want to help people,
and this is a good way to do
it.”
Lions District Governor
Bob DeVinney of Hot
Springs Village said he is
excited about the program.
“I think it’s a wonderful
way for Lions to support the
local community,” he said.
“We get more bad weather
in our area than we deserve,
and this trailer will allow us
to get there quickly with the
kinds of materials folks need
to get them through the first
shock.
“Sometimes it may not
be a tornado, but it may
be straight-line winds that
cause the damage,” he said.
“Those people need help,
too, and we can get out there
with our survival kits.”
DeVinney pointed out
that the kits will be placed
in plastic tubs, which will be
of further use to the victims.
“In situations like this, no
one has anything to wash up
with, so when they take the
kit out of the tub, they will
have a container to wash up
in and brush their teeth.”
DeVinney said the program is “a wonderful way for
Lions Clubs to tell our communities that we’ll be there
when you need us.”
“It will be of great benefit
for the people in all of our
areas.”

Boil order issued in Benton
after vehicle strikes hydrant
Several areas in Benton
remain under a boil order
Thursday after a fire hydrant
was struck by a vehicle
during Wednesday night’s

According to a news
release from Benton
Utilities, water customers on
Canterbury, Silica Heights,
Summit, Cole Drive, Meyers,
Coral Cove, Tiner Cove,
Country Oaks Drive, Wakley
Cove and south of the Silica

A vehicle struck a fire
hydrant near the intersection
of Silica Heights at its intersection with Church Street
during the thunderstorm.
“This resulted in the
loss of water pressure to
approximately 200 residential
customers,” the news release

The affected customers
are requested to boil their

minute prior to consumption
as a precautionary measure.
Samples of the water in
the affected area will be carried to the Arkansas Health
Department for testing
first thing Thursday morning, “and we hope to have
those results by late Friday
afternoon. Until we receive
the results of this test, the
boil order will remain in
effect,” according to the news
release.
“When the crew arrived
on location and assessed the
problem, they immediately
requested an emergency
locate be called into have all
other underground utilities
marked and then secured the
supplies needed to make the
necessary repairs, and they
started turning valves off to
slow the flow of water at that
location. Crews remained on
scene and in the area until

Here’s How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken
down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the
numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and
box. Each number can appear only once in each row,
column and box. You can figure out the order in which
the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues
already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you
name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Mayor
From page 1
Dabbs thanked her family, city employees and staff,
city elected officials and
Bryant residents.
“I am more humble than
ever and grateful to you, the
voters, for entrusting me
to a second term to lead as
your mayor,” she said.
Bryant continues to be a
strong city with new busi-
ness and developments.
“My commitment is to
see the growth continue in a
planned, controlled method
that results in a Bryant that
holds onto the values and
assets that built us,” she
said.
She hopes Bryant will
eventually become a model
for cities across the nation.
“Other cities seeking to
be healthy, vibrant communities will choose Bryant
to benchmark and model
their efforts toward similar
results,” she said.
During the speech, she
announced the city will be
hosting a “livable Bryant
workshop” which is scheduled to take place May 12 at
6:30 p.m.
“We will be asking for
your ideas for projects,
programs and initiatives on
how to make Bryant a better community in which to
live, learn, work, shop, worship and play,” she said. “It
is exciting to think of what
wonderful ideas you will
contribute and the vision
you will cast for your city.”
Scholarship
From page 1
lights efforts to increase
the earning potential of
low-income single parents.
“The scholarship fund
provides supplemental
financial assistance to single parents like Heather,
who are working hard,
struggling to make ends
meet, setting a good example for their children, and
have set out on a path to a
better future,” Arey said.
“This program helps
them succeed,” he added.
Hilterbrand, who is
studying occupational therapy at Pulaski Tech, said
the experience has had a
positive impact on her two
children.
“It’s sort of a competition between me and my
sons,” she said. “We compare our grades to see
how many A’s we’ve all
achieved in school. Now
they’re interested in going
to college.”
The Single Parent
Scholarship Fund provides
financial support to help
single parents stay in
school, she said.
The program was established in Arkansas in 1990
with the goal of assisting
low-income single parents
complete their post-secondary education in preparation for skilled employment. Today the program
is in all 75 counties and
locally is administered
by the Central Arkansas
Development Council.
“We provide 100 percent of the administrative
expenses in the program,”
said Larry Cogburn,
CADC’s executive director. “Local support from
the county judge and others helps provide funds for
the scholarships.”
Scholarships are used to
pay for expenses that may
hinder a single parent from
attending school — such
things as child care or
transportation costs.
Cogburn said these
unexpected costs can put
a stop on a single parent’s
progress towards higher
education.
“The program really
provides the financial and
moral support parents
need to stay in school and
complete their college education,” Cogburn noted.
Hilterbrand said she is
grateful for this opportunity that has made a significant difference in her life.
“It really has helped me
personally. I have less to
worry about and that lightens my load.
She added that the program also can “open other
doors that can help me.”
She believes the program is encouraging her to
achieve her dream.
“I felt like it was time to
do something … I didn’t
want to be a CNA for the
rest of my life. This motivates me because my son
sees how much I’m doing.
It’s a lot of hard work to
get somewhere, but it’s
worth it.”
Hilterbrand will be
among the scholarship
recipients honored at the
14th Annual Luncheon on
the Courthouse Lawn to be
held Thursday, May 14.
All proceeds generated by the event will be
used for scholarship for
single parent students like
Hilterbrand.
Individuals or organizations may support the program by calling CADC at
501-315-1121 or the Saline
County Judge’s Office at
501-303-5640. Tickets for
the luncheon are $10. All
donations are tax-deductible.
CADC is a private, nonprofit community action
agency formed in 1965.
Its mission is to improve
quality of life and to build
strong communities in
Arkansas.
