Panel OKs stray ordinance; dog law stays as is
By Joe Phelps
jphelps@bentoncourier.com
The Benton City Council will
decide in its next meeting whether
to outlaw feeding stray animals on
public property or on others’ property without permission.
An ordinance outlining the
issue was passed through committee chambers in a meeting
Tuesday of the city’s Animal
Control Committee. City officials
learned of the apparent problem
in January, when Terry Parsons,
animal control manager, addressed
the committee and proposed that
an ordinance pertaining to feeding
strays be drafted.
City Attorney Brent Houston
said the ordinance was “designed
to take two competing interests.”
On one hand, several homeowners
had voiced a problem with people
coming onto their property and
feeding strays, while on the other
some residents want to help homeless animals.
The ordinance, if the council
gives it the final nod, would make
it illegal to feed on city property
such as sidewalks or parks, and
to feed strays on someone else’s
property without their consent.
“We’re not saying we want to have
a complete ban in town,” Houston
said, noting that other Arkansas
cities have done just that. But
those who want to “bring that nuisance on yourself” may do so, he
said.
The ordinance calls for a $100
fine on the first offense, followed
by $250 and $500 fines afterward
in a five-year period. It also allows
police officers, code enforcement
and animal control officers to write
citations.
Alderman Jerry Ponder inquired
whether video from surveillance
systems could be used as evidence
to capture those who break the
law. Houston said it could.
The committee then allowed discussion and questions from the six
or so residents in attendance.
Sarah Jane Yoakum said she
told a neighbor to stop feeding
strays on her property, but that

Club of Bryant and Team USA.
The event will take place from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Individuals in Grades 6-12 and adults may participate in three-on-three games. The event also
will include cash prizes, a slam-dunk contest, a
dream team, three-point contests and a $10,000
hot shot contest. Event organizers said they
expect 125 teams of three to five players to participate on 24 courts.
“Bring the entire family to enjoy fun, free
activities at the Family Fun Zone,” said Brandon
Griffin, parks director.
Guy Parker, owner and operator of Chick-fil-A
on Reynolds Road, is a retired U.S. Air Force
colonel and sponsor of the event.
“We are very grateful for our growing customer base and believe strongly in giving back to
the community whereever we can — it is a must,”
Parker said. “I’ve served for more than four years
as a board member for our local Boys & Girls
Club. In fact, this organization is just one of the
many nonprofits we support.

Little Rock Zoo, others ask
governor to veto primate bill
The Associated Press
LITTLE ROCK —
Several groups including
Arkansas’ largest zoo
are calling on Gov. Asa
Hutchinson to veto a bill
that would make it less
restrictive for groups to
keep primates in Arkansas.
The bill, sponsored
by Rep. Dan Douglas,
R-Bentonville, will come
before the governor
Wednesday. Spokesman
J.R. Davis says the governor is still reviewing the
legislation.
The bill would revise a
2013 law that prohibits ownership or breeding of orangutans, baboons, chimpanzees, gorillas or macaques
unless a facility is accredited
by the Association of Zoos
and Aquariums.
Opponents say the bill,
which would allow groups
accredited by the Zoological
Association of America
or any other zoological
accrediting agency, would
decrease the required care
of animals and make it easier for the primates to spread
diseases to humans.
Clinton says he’ll be ‘backstage adviser’
WASHINGTON —
Former President Bill
Clinton says in an interview
he plans to be a “backstage
adviser” in Hillary Rodham
Clinton’s expected presidential campaign and intends
to spend the year working
on his family’s philanthropic
foundation.
As his wife considers
another presidential campaign, the ex-president says
in an interview with Town
and Country magazine
released Tuesday that he
would play a behind-thescenes role and remain
focused on his work at the
Clinton Foundation, which
he founded in 2001 after he
left the White House.
“I think it’s important,
and Hillary does too, that
she go out there as if she’s
never run for anything
before and establish her
connection with the voters,”
Clinton said. “And that my
role should primarily be as
a backstage adviser to her
until we get much, much
closer to the election.”
The former president
defended his foundation’s
commitment to accountability, calling it the “most
transparent” of all the
presidential foundations and
“more transparent” than
at
Sue’s

many major foundations. He
noted that it has been criticized for accepting money
from foreign governments.
Asked about his role if
Hillary Clinton is elected
president, Bill Clinton said
he would “have to assess
what she wants me to do”
but “we might have to
change the (foundation)
rules again.”
When Hillary Clinton
became President Barack
Obama’s secretary of
state in 2009, the foundation agreed to stop raising
money from foreign governments but the Washington
Post reported in February
that some foreign govern-
ments continued to donate
while she was in the Obama
administration. In one case,
the foundation said it should
have sought approval from
the State Department before
accepting a $500,000 contribution from the Algerian
government to assist with
earthquake relief in Haiti.
Bill Clinton said they
haven’t discussed any
changes to how the foundation would function “and I
don’t think we should. You
can’t. It’s hard for any party
to hang on to the White
House for 12 years, and it’s
a long road. A thousand
things could happen.”
Pulaski Tech to raise Process surrounding
tuition by 16 percent religion law not ‘pretty’
LITTLE ROCK —
Leaders of Arkansas’ largest community college
have approved a 16 percent
tuition hike.
The Arkansas DemocratGazette reports Pulaski
Technical College’s board
of trustees on Monday
approved the increase,
which will begin July 1.
A student taking 15 credit
hours currently pays about
$2,000 in tuition and mandatory fees each semester. Under
the new plan, that student will
now pay about $2,325.
“This is always a difficult
time for me when we have
discussions about increasing
tuition,” said board Chairman
Robert Dedman. “I think
none of us ever want to
increase tuition.”
The increase comes as
the school faces declining
enrollment and, subsequently, declining tuition and fee
revenue. Tuition and fees
represent about 70 percent
of the school’s revenue.
“We want to keep
(tuition) as it is or reduce it,
but I think that’s not a reality here,” Dedman said. “We
need to take care of ourselves financially because
we’re not going to get any
help from anybody else.”
Administrators have been
working to increase enrollment and revenue by reviewing course programs, taking
steps to refinance bonds and
expanding marketing strategies.

****AUCTION****
By Andrew DeMillo
LITTLE ROCK —
Arkansas’ Senate president
said Tuesday he didn’t like
the process surrounding the
last-minute revamping of a
religious objections measure
that was initially criticized as
anti-gay, but said he believed
the compromise law offers
more certainty for both sides
of the debate.
Senate President Jonathan
Dismang said he shared in
some of the blame over the
furor, saying he didn’t read the
first version of the bill that was
sent to Gov. Asa Hutchinson
that was cast as discriminatory. Hutchinson signed a
compromise version of the bill
into law Thursday, a day after
calling for changes in the face
of calls from the state’s largest
employers — including retail
giant Walmart — to veto the
bill.
“I think ultimately we got
where we wanted to be,”
the Republican from Beebe
told members of the Political
Animals Club. “The process
was not pretty, but again the
ultimate result I think was
good.”
Hutchinson, also a
Republican, asked lawmakers
to rewrite the measure, which
bars state and local government from infringing on someone’s religious beliefs without
a compelling reason, so it
would more closely mirror a
1993 federal law. He signed
the measure the same day
Indiana’s governor approved
an amendment to that state’s
religious objections law in the
face of similar protests.
Dismang said the initial bill
created uncertainty since it
didn’t match with federal law.
“My understanding was the
(initial) bill mirrored the federal law, when in fact it didn’t,”
he said. “When you peel it
away and look at the issue, it
was the uncertainty it created
whether for the LGBT community or for, in a way in my
opinion, Christians. What was
going to be the ultimate outcome from this uncertainty?”
Unlike Indiana, Arkansas’
compromise measure doesn’t
include specific language
barring the law from being
used to discriminate based
on sexual orientation. The
Arkansas measure addresses
actions only by government,
not businesses or individuals.
Supporters said that would
prevent businesses from
using it to deny services to
individuals.

DEAR DOCTOR K: What is a pulmonary embolism?
DEAR READER: A pulmonary
embolism occurs when a blood clot
(called an embolus) suddenly blocks a
blood vessel in the lung. A small pulmonary embolus can happen without
causing any symptoms, but a large
pulmonary embolus can suddenly
threaten your life.
To explain pulmonary embolism,
let’s begin with a refresher on the
Dr.
circulation of blood in our bodies.
Komaroff
Blood carries nutrients (like oxygen
and sugar) to the cells of our body and
removes waste material from the cells.
The blood circulates because of the pumping action of
the heart.
There are two circuits. One circuit pumps oxygenpoor blood to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen.
The second circuit pumps oxygen-rich blood throughout the body through “pipes” called arteries. When
oxygen leaves the blood to enter the cells, the blood
becomes oxygen-poor. That oxygen-poor blood
returns to the heart through pipes called veins.
Blood flows more slowly through veins than
through arteries. Sometimes clots form in the slowly
moving blood, especially if the flow is slower than
usual. This is a condition called deep vein thrombosis
(DVT).
Usually, DVT occurs in the veins of the legs. Part of
the clot can break away and travel through veins to the
heart, and then on to the lungs. There, it travels through
progressively narrower blood vessels. When the size of
the clot is larger than the width of the blood vessel, it
gets stuck in the blood vessel. (I’ve put an illustration on
my website, AskDoctorK.com.)
DVT may cause pain or swelling of the legs. It is usually the result of extended inactivity. If you are inactive
for many hours -- during a long airplane flight or prolonged bed rest, for example -- blood flow in your legs
may slow. DVT is more likely in people who are bedridden and those who are recovering from surgery.
Symptoms of pulmonary embolism can include chest
pain and unexplained shortness of breath or coughing.
Doctors treat a life-threatening pulmonary embolism
by using clot-busting medicines. Or a doctor may use a
catheter to remove the clot or deliver medicine to dissolve it.
Non-life-threatening pulmonary embolism is treated
with blood thinners to keep clots from getting larger and
prevent new clots from forming. Blood thinners don’t
break up blood clots that have already formed; the body
dissolves most clots with time. But the blood thinner will
be necessary for several months or longer.
To reduce your risk for DVT and pulmonary embolism:
• Avoid sitting motionless for long periods of time.
• If you must sit, flex your calves, ankles and thighs
from time to time to keep the blood flowing.
• Drink a lot of water.
• Walk around frequently during long plane flights or
car trips.
• Get out of bed and move around as soon as possible
after having surgery or being ill.
If you’ve already had DVT or pulmonary embolism,
ask your doctor about compression stockings. They can
help keep blood in the legs from pooling and clotting.

In emerging race,
O’Malley new target
R
ecently, a representative from
the Hillary Clinton camp
delivered a message to Martin
O’Malley, the former Maryland governor preparing to challenge Clinton
for the 2016 Democratic nomination.
I have some good
news and some bad
news, the messenger
said.
What’s the
good news? asked
O’Malley.
The good news is
we’re taking you seriously, the messenger
Byron
answered. And the
bad news is ... we’re York
taking you seriously.
The undertone
of threat was unmistakable, but
anyone who takes on Clintonworld
has to expect that. And indeed, proO’Malley Democrats — there are
some — are not at all surprised by
the tone. “They are the most petty,
vengeful people out there,” says one
Democrat of the Clinton organization.
“They hold a grudge for decades.
I don’t think he (O’Malley) expected
them to welcome him with a fruit
basket.”
And Clintonworld has reason to
be concerned. Yes, Hillary’s lead is
huge, and yes, she is at this point the
presumptive Democratic nominee.
But there are already emerging signs
that the coronation might not go as
planned.
It’s early yet, but O’Malley’s recent
declaration — “The presidency of
the United States is not some crown
to be passed between two families”
— is probably the best line of the
campaign so far. If you took a poll
to gauge public opinion on that turn
of phrase, approval would likely be
very, very high.
“It was a very effective line,” says
another Democrat. “And it’s the
first time he’s taken a swing — he’s
always deferred in the past.”
No more. O’Malley is acting like
a real candidate now, traveling, hiring staff and fashioning a message.
Democratic insiders point to three
factors that could help O’Malley turn
a non-race into a race.
1) Even when she has the
nomination race to herself, Clinton
rarely rises above 60 percent with
Democrats. (In the RealClearPolitics
average of polls, she is currently just
under 60 percent.)
“There is one-third to 40 percent
of the Democratic electorate that
wants a primary race,” notes the
second Democrat. “Even in a field
where she doesn’t have an opponent,
Hillary doesn’t get above 65 percent.”
The job of O’Malley, or any other
Clinton challenger, is to connect
with that 35 percent to 40 percent
of Democrats who are hoping for a
Clinton opponent.
2) The history of Democratic
primary battles is that an insurgent
almost always puts a scare into the
sure-thing front-runner. “You can go
back decades,” says the Democrat.
“There has always been a moment in
the Democratic primary in which the
overwhelming, conventional, odds-on
establishment favorite was vulnerable to an outsider challenge.”
While that is truer of some years
than others, there is a pretty long list
of insurgents — Howard Dean, Bill
Bradley, Jerry Brown and others —
who created some nervous moments
for the leading candidate. In 2008, of
course, the outsider Barack Obama
did a lot more than that. And the
odds-on favorite he toppled then just
happens to be the odds-on favorite
now.
3) The press wants a primary.
Republicans can complain that the
media is in the tank for Hillary, but
there seems little doubt that many
voices in the press would like to see
an actual contest for the Democratic
nomination. The Boston Globe,
for example, recently begged Sen.
Elizabeth Warren to run.
“Democrats would be making a
big mistake if they let Hillary Clinton
coast to the presidential nomination
without real opposition,” the paper
editorialized. The fact that some
key voices in the press won’t take
Warren’s “no” for an answer is an
indication the Fourth Estate would
like a fight. And if Warren stays out,
they’ll talk up any other credible
challenger.
O’Malley is more than credible. He
has the credentials of a two-term governor and the ability to position himself to the progressive left of Clinton.
On Wall Street, LGBT issues, immigration, trade — on those and more,
O’Malley can credibly cast himself as
more progressive than Hillary.
“Hillary and Bill Clinton have been
thick as thieves with Wall Street,”
says a pro-O’Malley Democrat. “She
was very close with the financial
industry, and she depends on them
for money.”
Years after the economic meltdown, many on the left are still angry
that none of the big Wall Street players was punished, and it hurts Clinton
to be associated with those players.
“This is a really, really, really big
issue with progressives — that there
was no accountability for Wall Street,”
says the Democrat.
The planets are aligning for a real
Democratic race. That doesn’t mean
Clinton will lose (although anything
can happen), but it does mean there
will be no smooth, easy path to the
crown.

ere is an important life lesson:
The most important things in
life are not things at all.
If I give my grandchildren a toy —
which happens too frequently, my wife
says — one of three things happens:
It gets broken.
It ends up in a
garage sale.
Worst still, it ends
up in my overcrowded
attic.
I have three grandchildren living in my
house. While I provide
them with plenty of
material things, I want Jim
to give them someHarris
thing that can never be
taken away from them. Conservative
Those two things are Corner
great memories and a
college education.
My oldest grandchild is six years
old. For the last three summers, we
have gone on “summer adventures.”
We have gone to a zip line adventure just off Interstate 30 near Prescott
where he did the longest zip line in the
nation — without assistance.
We have ridden a real train near
Fort Smith that has restored passenger cars from the 1920s and 1930s.
Children love trains.
The British children’s show about
Thomas the Tank engine is incredibly
popular, but the opportunity to ride a
real train in Arkansas is rare. You can
ride Amtrak, but trains from Arkansas
only leave in the middle of the night
and children are usually asleep and
miss the fun of those rides.
As a side note, my grandchildren
and I watch Thomas so much that I can
name all of Thomas’s friends.
We have been to museums in Hot
Springs and Little Rock. By far, the
Star Wars museum in Hot Springs is
the most popular so far.
We have been horse back riding as
well as visited some of the many caves
found in the state.
Sure, a trip to Disney in either
California or Florida would make great
memories too, but such trips are so
expensive that most families can only
do it once while a child is growing up.
Arkansas has many great places to
go on one-day adventures.
These trips have given my oldest
grandson great memories. The other
two children are ages one and two. I
plan to take them on summer adventures starting this summer.
As for giving them an education,
with a little planning that is not as difficult as is sounds.
First, they have to want it. I tell
them all – yes, even the youngest – you
need to grow up, get a good education
and that will allow you to get good job
so you can care for your family.
We all know a college education
is expensive and paying for it out of
pocket is beyond most people’s means.
Often, children who get a college
degree have to do it with student loans
that burden them financially for years.
So the way to do it is to invest in a
tax-free college saving plan so small
investments now can grow as the child
grows.
The 529 Plan is an education savings
plan designed to help families set aside
money for future college costs.
It is named after Section 529 of
the Internal Revenue Code created a
tax-free college plans in 1996.Those
plans are called 529 Gift Plans here in
Arkansas.
Money put into one of these plans
grows tax-free until is time to pay for
higher educational expenses.
The money doesn’t have to be spent
on an Arkansas college or university.
Students can use it for any institution
of higher education in the country or
even a vo-tech school if that is their
choice.
An account can be opened for as
little as $25 and other family members
can contribute. So both sets of grandparents and the parents – if they can
afford it while paying for the cost of
raising a child – can work together to
save for college.
A little put away each year will mean
a lot – thanks to interest and the lack
of state or federal taxes — when they
graduate high school and draw the
money out.
A good education, like good memories, is something they will have for
life. Both are gifts that can’t be taken
away.
So there you have it. I am giving my
grandchildren something that will stay
with them when I am long gone.
Hopefully when they are grandparents, I will have set an example for
them to follow and they will give their
grandchildren great memories and a
good education.

White SC officer charged with
murder in black man’s death
Associated Press
NORTH CHARLESTON,
S.C. — Dramatic video
that shows a white South
Carolina police officer shooting a fleeing black man after
a traffic stop has led authorities to file a murder charge
against the officer amid
public outrage over a series
of deaths of unarmed black
men at the hands of law
enforcement agents.
A protest began with
about 40 to 50 people
Wednesday in North
Charleston, led by a group
formed after the fatal shooting of another black man in
Ferguson, Missouri.
The video, provided to
the dead man’s family and
lawyer by an unidentified
person who shot the footage,
shows North Charleston

she took to feeding them on
the sidewalk instead. She
added later that the same
neighbor “walks around the
neighborhood” feeding cats
from sacks of feed.
Charles Stitz said he has
“come home several times”
to find bowls of cat food in
his own yard after he asked
the person to stop. “Strays
need to be rounded up and
done away with,” he said,
adding he is tired of stepping in cat feces.
Alderman Kerry Murphy
asked Parsons if traps could
be used, but Mayor David
Mattingly soon interjected,
saying animal control only
has two cages and that
would not be a solution to
the problem.
Alderman Charles
Cunningham said the proposed ordinance had been
“blown out of proportion.”
Fashion Show

designs will be awarded
cash prizes, Dunn noted.
The designer winning first
place will receive $500;
the second-place finisher
will receive $250; and the
designer finishing in third
place will receive $100.
Dunn pointed out that
the event will feature “more
than just fashion” since it
will include the recycled art
showcase.
She noted that all pieces
to be exhibited were created by Saline County students for a contest hosted
in conjunction with America
Recycles Day.
In addition to the show
and exhibit, Habitat for

Patrolman Michael Thomas
Slager firing eight shots at
the back of Walter Lamer
Scott as he runs away. The
50-year-old man falls after
the eighth shot, fired after a
brief pause.
Scott’s parents appeared
separately on TV shows
Wednesday morning, a day
after the officer was charged.
Walter Scott Sr. told the
NBC “Today Show” that his
son may have run because
he owed child support and
didn’t want to go back to jail.
Scott Sr. said that in the
video, the officer “looked
like he was trying to kill a
deer running through the
woods.”
Judy Scott called the video
“the most horrible thing I’ve
ever seen.”
“I almost couldn’t look
at it to see my son running
defenselessly, being shot. It
just tore my heart to pieces,”
she said on ABC’s “Good
Morning America.”
Attorneys for the family
said the man who shot the
video is assisting investigators. The person has not
been identified.
North Charleston Mayor
Keith Summey announced
the charge at a news conference Tuesday. Summy said
Slager had made “a bad decision.” Authorities said Scott
was shot after the officer had
already hit the man with a
stun gun after a traffic stop
Saturday that began over a
faulty brake light.
“When you’re wrong,
you’re wrong,” Summey told
reporters.
He said his stance was that it
isn’t right for anyone to use
another’s property without
permission. “I like to see
[animals] fed, too,” he said,
but feeding them on others’
land is an “invasion” of both
public and private properties.
The mayor said he has
personally trapped cats on
his own property and taken
them to animal control,
but that it’s an ineffective
system, as within 24 hours
the same person claims the
animal and returns it to their
home.
Asked by Alderman Jim
Gardner how widespread the
matter is, Parsons said, “It’s
everywhere … It’s not just in
one neighborhood.”
Committee chair Evelyn
Reed said she had heard
complaints of 10 cats or
more being fed near a dumpster at Kroger.
The committee voted
unanimously in favor of
sending the ordinance to the
full council for its approval.
In other business, resi-
dent Brandi Greer had a
question pertaining to
another ordinance pertaining to at-large dogs. She said
she has been harassed by
animal control for not having
her dog on a leash although
the dog was on her unfenced
property.
Parsons explained one
section of that ordinance
requires either a fence or a
leash, and that canines cannot run loose on anyone’s
property without one or the
other. Greer argued that
the same ordinance has an
exception that allows dogs to
run loose between properties
so long as each homeowner
allows it, and said there are
contradictory definitions of
at-large dogs in the ordinance.
Houston, the city attorney,
said a judge has not ruled
the ordinance invalid, and
the committee voted to leave
it as is until the judge rules
otherwise. Murphy cast the
only no vote.
Humanity Re-Store, Civitan
Services, Native Hound and
Mom & Dot Designs will
feature items available for
sale.
In addition to the fashion
designs, three seniors who
are part of the YEA Team
will be honored with scholarships acknowledging their
dedication to their community and school.
Slated to receive this
honor are Madison Rose,
Olivia Barnes and Emory
Rockwell. Each has been
selected for a $1,500 award.
Dunn invited area residents to attend the event.
“Come out and support
your students on this memorable red carpet night,”
she urged.

ENERGY DEAL: Royal
Dutch Shell agreed to buy BG
Group for $69.7 billion in cash
and stock. Energy companies
are looking to reduce costs
and become more efficient in
the wake of tumbling oil prices and can do that by combining businesses. Christian
Stadler, associate professor
of strategic management at
Warwick Business School,
said the deal “could be the
beginning of a new wave of
mega-mergers in the sector.”
Shell’s stock fell 7 percent

One key we have is that
we’re not just a team. We
have a strong education element to our program. We do
more than just play basketball.”
Rodney Plack of Landers
of Benton added that he is
“glad to be part of the tournament. We’re always happy
to raise funds for the children of our community.”
Bryant Mayor Jill Dabbs
said, “It is businesses like
Chick-fil-A and its owner,
Guy Parker, who know the
importance of re-investing in
their local communities that
continually make differences
in the lives of those around
them. I hope everyone who
cannot compete that day
will choose to come out
and support those who are
signed up, and of course the
organizations that this event
will benefit, the Boys & Girls
Club of Bryant and Team
USA.”
Sponsorship and volunteer opportunities are also

Stone solid after rough Bryant picks up 2-1 win
outing for Razorbacks
By Nate Allen
Razorback Report
FAYETTEVILLE - They
say after falling off a horse,
the best thing is to get right
back in the saddle.
So Arkansas Coach Dave
Van Horn saddled up senior
Razorbacks relief pitcher
Jacob Stone from the start
in Tuesday night’s 8-1 nonconference victory over the
Mississippi Valley State Delta
Devils at Baum Stadium.
Starting for the first time
ever for Arkansas, Stone
through five complete,
allowed one hit, struck out
five, walked none and retired
his last 10 batters consecutively while upping his record
to 2-2.
In Arkansas’ lone loss of
last weekend’s three-game
SEC West series against the
Auburn Tigers in Auburn,
Ala., Stone in the ninth last
Saturday committed a throwing error, walked a batter
and hit consecutive batters,
the second with the bases
loaded for the 3-2 loss. It
compounded misery on an
already struggling year (4.30
earned run average) for the
senior so superb as the closer
in 2014 with a 0.94 ERA and
four saves.
“We wanted to get him
on the mound as soon as we
could to get his confidence
up,” Arkansas Coach Dave
Van Horn said. “I know he
felt bad about what happened
[Saturday]. We knew if he
threw well then obviously
he’s going to gain a lot of
confidence so we just wanted
to get him out there and let
him throw 60-70 pitches. We
know he’s a lot better pitcher
than he’s shown. He proved
to himself and everyone else
that he deserves to be out
there with games on the line.”

CABOT -- The Harmony
Grove Lady Cardinals
ended their 10-game winning streak Tuesday with
a 6-0 shutout loss to 7A
powerhouse Cabot. On the
road and battling a couple
of injury woes, the Lady
Cardinals hung tough with
the Lady Panthers, battling
to a 0-0 tie after five.
But after going scoreless in the top of the sixth,
Harmony Grove’s defense
finally bent a little bit,
allowing six runs on four
hits and three errors. None
of the runs were earned for
Cabot.
Harmony Grove committed four errors in the
game. Its offense contributed with just three hits in
the loss. Cabot bashed out
six hits in the tilt.
LJ Helmich started her
second straight game
and first since getting hit
in the back of the head
by a throw on Monday.
Starting catcher Faith Otts
is sidelined for Harmony
Grove with a knee injury.
Timetable for return in
unknown at this time.
Kristen Dempsey,
Brooke Baxley and Rachel
Kesterson had Harmony
Grove’s hits.
Four Lady Cardinals
were left stranded. The
entire team combined for
10 strikeouts in the game.
Helmich finished with a
pitching line of 5.2 innings
pitches, allowing four
unearned runs on four hits,
walked three and struck
out four. Dempsey threw
0.1 innings and allowed
two unearned runs.
The loss moves
Harmony Grove to 12-3
overall on the year. The

you the truth.”

Tuesday
“Coach (linebackers coach
Vernon Hagreaves) wants me
to be very versatile,” Williams
said Tuesday. “So he said,
‘Go to Sam and I just went
there and did what I had to
do. It happened today. In
high school I played outside
linebacker and defensive end
so I am familiar with it. The
first time I ever played in the
middle was in juco my freshman year at Dodge City.”
Regarding Hackett,
Hargreaves said after
Tuesday’s seventh practice:
“He’s one of the guys we’ve
moved around a little bit and
put him in positions to make
some plays. He’s spinning a
little bit just because it’s some
different stuff. It’s just time. I
thought he did a great job in
the first six practices, where
he was. With that being said,
we wanted to try him at another spot and see if he might be
able to work out there.”
Tight end Alex Voelzke,
withheld from last Saturday’s
practice because of a strained
back, practiced Tuesday full
contact.
Robb Smith was asked to
evaluate last Saturday’s scrimmage.
“I thought we flew around
pretty well,” Smith said. “I
thought our guys played with
great effort.”
However their efforts never
caused a fumble or picked off
a pass.
“We didn’t create any
turnovers and we need to
eliminate big plays and
eliminate missed tackles, too,”
defensive backfield coach
Clay Jennings said. “We had
seven missed tackles in the
secondary alone. That’s way
too many. We gave up four
touchdown passes in 82 plays
and that’s too many, too. We
cut a couple of guys loose
and let a couple of guys get
behind me so we have got to
eliminate that, too.”
However several are coming to the front on the back
end including redshirt freshman Santos Ramirez, first
at corner and now at strong
safety.
“You know he can help us
at both but I am trying to get
him more comfortable at safety,” Jennings said. “The lines
are kind of thick over there at
corner. He has a great ceiling
outside or inside but I am liking him inside right now.”
Senior starting strong safety Rohan Gaines was made
media available Tuesday for
the first time since a disciplinary suspension kept him
home while the Razorbacks
routed Texas in the Advocare
Texas Bowl last December.
“It was heartbreaking,
being at home and not being
able to be out there with my
teammates,” Gaines said. “But
it was a lesson learned.”

U.S. leads global oil, gas
production for 3rd year
Associated Press
For the third year running, the U.S. produced
more crude oil and natural
gas than any other country
in the world in 2014. More
oil than Saudi Arabia. More
gas than Russia. And it’s
happening at time when
the U.S. is trying to take a
leadership role in slashing
greenhouse gas emissions to
avert the worst consequences of climate change.
The U.S. is the Earth’s
hydrocarbon production
leader because of fracking,
which has allowed shale
oil fields in North Dakota,
Texas and elsewhere to
gush oil, and shale gas fields
in Pennsylvania and other
eastern states to produce
ever more natural gas. The
fracking boom allowed the
U.S. to surpass Saudi Arabia
as the world’s leading oil
producer in 2013, and to
surpass Russia as the leading natural gas producer in
2012, the year when the U.S.
overtook Saudi Arabia as the
world’s largest oil and gas
producer.
The federal government’s
new data released Tuesday
reflecting the U.S.’s global
leadership in both oil and
gas production comes amid
a backdrop of a changing
climate, the Obama administration’s goal of slashing U.S.
carbon dioxide emissions
from burning fossil fuels,
and the upcoming climate
negotiations in Paris late this
year that are aiming for an
international agreement to
cut greenhouse gas emissions.
At the same time,
University of East Anglia
researchers published a
study in January showing
that at least a third of all
global crude oil reserves
must remain untapped in
the ground in order to avoid
the internationally agreed
upon limit of 2°C (3.6°F) of
global warming. The world
is currently on track to emit
enough greenhouse gases
by about 2040 to exceed that
target, beyond which the
risks of “dangerous” consequences of global warming
escalate, scientists say.
The oil keeps coming,
however.
The U.S. produced about
3.2 billion barrels of crude
oil in 2014, up from 2.7 billion barrels in 2013. The
last time the U.S. produced
so much oil was in 1986.
Production increased in 2014
despite oil prices that fell 50
percent as crude continued
to gush from the Bakken
shale oil fields of North
Dakota and the Eagle Ford
fields in Texas.
“Certainly, we believe
that the tight oil and shale
gas boom in the U.S. is the
primary reason for the large
increase in production over
the last several years, including in 2014,” U.S. Energy
Information Administration
analyst Linda Doman said,
adding that crude oil production in 2015 is sliding
because of low oil prices.

LITTLE ROCK — A lawsuit challenging the legality of execution legislation
signed by Arkansas’ governor has been assigned to a
judge who ruled against an
older death penalty law.
According to reports,
seven death-row inmates
filed the lawsuit Monday to
have the new law invalidated
because they say it violates
their contract with the state
requiring prison officials to
disclose the origin of the
drugs that will be used to
put them to death. Pulaski
County Circuit Judge
Wendell Griffen ruled in
favor of the same inmates
in a 2013 suit, saying an
older law gave the state
Correction Department too
much authority to determine
what drugs will be used
for execution and who will
administer them.

LR school Afghan soldier kills 1 American Pine Bluff council asks
alderman to resign
district to soldier, wounds 2 U.S. troops
after racial slur
lay off 63
employees
LITTLE ROCK — The
Little Rock School District
has notified 63 employees, including the deputy
superintendent and associate superintendents, that
their jobs will be eliminated.
Interim superintendent
Dexter Suggs told the
district’s Financial Stability
Committee Monday that
notices have been sent to
employees, who are from
the senior-leadership level.
Eligible staff members
were told that they will be
offered other positions,
like teaching jobs, in the
district. Others were told
they could apply for other
district jobs.
The Arkansas DemocratGazette reports that the
notices say the cuts are
a result of the impending loss of desegregation
funding. The layoffs will
produce an annual savings
of about $3.5 million.
A 2014 settlement
ended the state’s obligation to pay desegregation aid to three school
districts, including the
Little Rock district. The
last payment will be in
the 2017-18 school year.
Suggs and Chief Financial
Officer Kelsey Bailey also
presented the committee
with a list of 29 items that
could possibly be cut over
the next three years to
help offset the loss of the
desegregation aid.
KABUL, Afghanistan —
An Afghan soldier opened fire
at a group of U.S. troops in
the city of Jalalabad in eastern
Afghanistan on Wednesday,
killing an American soldier
and wounding at least two others before he was shot dead, a
U.S. official said.
The incident happened
after a meeting between
Afghan provincial leaders and
a U.S. Embassy official in the
compound of the provincial
governor in Jalalabad. All U.S.
Embassy staff were accounted
for and returned safely to their
mission headquarters, the
embassy said.
NATO confirmed that
one of its soldiers died in the
attack, without providing the
nationality of the slain soldier,
as is the coalition’s policy. The
Washington official spoke
on condition of anonymity
because he wasn’t authorized
to speak before the official
announcement was released.
It was the second fatality
suffered by NATO since the
beginning of the year, when
the coalition launched its new
mission in Afghanistan called
Resolute Support. Also, an
Afghan soldier killed three
American contractors on
January 29. The shooter was
also killed in that incident.
Gen. Fazel Ahmad Sherzad,
who is police chief for eastern
Nangarhar province where
the shooting happened, said it
took place immediately after
the meeting in the governor’s
compound and the embassy
official had left.
“Right after the U.S. official
had left, suddenly an Afghan
army soldier opened fire on
the U.S. soldiers who were
present in the compound,”
HOLY COW!
Now That’s
HIGH SPEED INTERNET!
Sherzad told The Associated
Press.
The American troops
returned fire, killing the
Afghan soldier, whom Sherzad
identified as Abdul Azim, from
Laghman province.
The motive for his attack
was not immediately known
and no group claimed responsibility for the assault. In
2014, there were at least four
insider attacks in Afghanistan
— instances when Afghan
soldiers or policemen have
turned their weapons on their
fellow American or other
NATO colleagues. Also, in past
attacks, Taliban insurgents
have been known to wear
Afghan police or military uniforms to stage attacks on the
international troops.
The U.S. Ambassador
to Afghanistan P. Michael
McKinley was not present at
the time of the incident, said
Sherzad.
Information was sketchy
and an eyewitness told the
AP that four U.S. troops had
been wounded in the attack
— not three as Sherzad said
— and were being treated at a
clinic on the American base in
Jalalabad.
In a statement, the U.S.
Embassy in Kabul, referring
to the U.S.-led coalition, said:
“We are aware that there was
an exchange of gunfire involving Resolute Support service
members near the provincial
governor’s compound in
Jalalabad.
“The incident took place
after a senior U.S. official held
a meeting with the provincial
governor. All Chief of Mission
personnel of the visiting party
are accounted for,” spokeswoman Monica Cummings
said.
Noman Atefi, the spokesman for the Afghan National
Army’s eastern corps command, said one Afghan soldier
had been killed and two others
wounded in the shootout. It
was not immediately clear if
the fatality he was referring to
among the Afghans was the
shooter.
Earlier, an Afghan official
said two people were killed
and three wounded in an
ambush late Tuesday aimed at
police in eastern Kunar province, where the Taliban have a
strong presence.
Farid Dhekhan, the spokesman for the provincial police
chief, said the attack, which
occurred in Narang district,
targeted a police vehicle,
which escaped unharmed.
The dead were a man and
woman from the same family, Dhekhan said, speaking
on Wednesday.
2015 Educator

PINE BLUFF — The
Pine Bluff City Council
is asking Alderman Bill
Brumett to resign after he
used a racial slur during an
online debate.
The Arkansas DemocratGazette reports the council
unanimously passed a vote
of no confidence Monday.
The alderman was not present at the meeting because
of a family trip.
Brumett, who is white,
was arguing with a Pine
Bluff native on Facebook
last month when he became
agitated by the man’s misspelling of the alderman’s
name. Brummet says he
then intentionally misspelled J.C. Cunningham’s
name but that he didn’t
know Cunningham was
black and the epithet was
unintentional.
Brumett says he meant to
spell Cunningham’s name as
“Cuuningham,” but instead
wrote “Cooninham.”
Alderman George Stepps,
who proposed the no confidence measure on Monday,
said he can no longer work
with Brumett.

thing that he brings to the
council. I cannot, in clear
conscience, believe that
Brumett has any love or
compassion toward AfricanAmericans. I can no longer,
in clear conscience, listen
to his lies, deception or his
feeble attempts to speak to
the issues of fairness.”
A protest was held outside Pine Bluff City Hall
before and during the
vote. Protesters said that if
Brumett doesn’t resign, they
plan to organize a recall
effort against him.
Brumett has apologized
to Cunningham. In a previous statement, Brumett
said “After I became aware
that Mr. Cunningham
is an African-American,
and after consideration of
the implications of what
I wrote, despite the fact
that I never intended to
make any racial statement,
I decided that it would be
in the best interests of all
concerned for me to make
a public apology to Mr.
Cunningham, in writing,
in the same venue as the
original comment.”
Cunningham’s mother
says her son does not
accept the apology.

Follow your heart. You are
the best judge of what makes you
happy. Go after the career that
will challenge and stimulate you.
You will receive some useful
advice, but don’t allow anyone
else to make decisions for you.
Romance will come when you
least expect it.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- Be more attentive to your
friends and family. Let superiors
know your thoughts regarding
workplace procedures. By speaking out, you will raise your profile
and increase your chances of promotion.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
-- Careless mistakes will be costly. Whether at home or at work,
you need to pay strict attention
to what you are doing. Letting
your mind wander will lead to an
unfortunate mishap.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Dispel criticism that co-workers
place on you. Don’t get caught
in a verbal tug-of war. If you let
everyone know that you are a
capable, hard worker, negative
banter will dissipate.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Misunderstandings will lead to a
series of problems. Be clear about
your intentions and expectations,
and allow others to voice their
opinions. Keeping your feelings
bottled up is a recipe for trouble.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Taking on too many professional
responsibilities will affect your
personal life. Consider taking a
trip or spending a quiet evening
at home with your family or other
loved ones.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
-- Dedicate some time to family entertainment. Whether you
play games, share hobbies or
participate in physical challenges,
include loved ones in your life
and make some happy memories.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
-- Don’t get rattled by minor
issues at home. Be more accepting
Monty
Soup to Nutz
Thatababy
Moderately Confused
Herman
and less critical. Your patience
will contribute to a calmer, more
relaxed setting that is more conducive to solving problems.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Emotional issues will cloud
your judgment. Facing the truth
and setting time aside to discuss
matters with an important someone will help rectify the problem.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- Consider turning
one of your skills or ideas into a
home business. Get input from
someone with relevant experience
and find out what steps need to be
taken.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- You will get ahead by shar-
ing your ideas with your superiors. Extra time may be required to
put your plans in motion, but the
potential gain will be worth your
while.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Be prepared to make personal
decisions. Don’t try to do too
much at once. Tackle each issue
individually if you want to make
the right choices. Strive for perfection.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
-- Expand your mind by engaging in events that teach you about
different cultures or philosophies.
Consider learning a second language or picking up a skill that
can lead to greater prosperity.

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!

Tip of the

Always

avoid missing a step
and ruining
the dish.

GAIL

NICKERSON
together for
easy access.
Don’t be afraid to try new
foods, says Molly, noting
that she has struggled with
being a picky eater. One
should be challenged to try
new things.
She recommends trying
the Friday night pepperoni
crescent rolls included with
this account. Roll them out
and add pepperoni and light
low-fat mozzarella cheese
sticks cut in half. Then roll
them up and put them on a
baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes and
dip them in ranch dressing.
Read cookbooks to find
new recipes. It can provide
the motivation for trying new
foods.
Make sure to keep a
clean and tidy cooking area
because it makes it easier at
the end of the meal.
Take your time when
cooking. Cooking multiple
things at once can make
things hectic.
Enchilada Pasta
Casserole
Preheat oven to 350
degrees.
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 t. chili powder
1/4 t. cumin
1/2 t. cayenne pepper
1 (5 oz.) block cream
cheese (light, fat-free)
1/4 c. light sour cream
1 can (10 oz.) enchilada
white sauce
1 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese (divided)
1 c. shredded Monterey
Jack or Colby jack cheese
(divided)
1 c. frozen corn kernels
(thawed)
1 can (4 oz.) diced green
chilies
1 (12 oz.) package egg
noodles
Salt and pepper (to taste)
In a large pot, bring water to
boil and cook egg noodles
according to package
instructions; in the meantime,
in a very large skillet, brown
meat, draining the fat. Then
add the chili powder, cumin
and cayenne pepper. Stir to
combine; add in the cream
cheese until melted and
combined. In a large bowl,
combine sour cream, enchilada
sauce, half the cheddar cheese,
half the Monterey Jack cheese,
corn kernels, and diced green
chilies. Stir to combine; pour
mixture over the beef and let
simmer for 2-3 minutes. Drain
the pasta and add pasta to beef
mixture. Make sure everything
is coated in sauce. Pour pasta
mixture into a large casserole
dish and and top with remaining
cheese. Bake 15 minutes or
until cheese has melted. Keeps
up to 1 week.
Note: This is Molly’s favorite
dish.

Grace
College student shares her views on cooking
Generations work together to create favorite dishes
By Gail Nickerson
Special to The Saline Courier
Benton resident Molly
Wright enjoys looking
over old cookbooks and
talking about her love for
cooking.
“The best thing about
cooking is eating it,” Molly
says.
“When I was little, my
dad (Jim Wright) would
be the only one in the
kitchen when he would
be cooking,” she said. “I
grew up watching him and
learning how to cook. I
wanted to be able to make
up recipes off the top of
my head like he did. I still
look forward to his tamale
casserole, dirty rice and
mashed potatoes that are
my favorites.
“Every so often my
mother (Terri Wright)
prepared her wonderful
taco soup (that Dad tried
to adjust), hashbrown
casserole and homemade
cookies that we all loved to
make during the holidays.
Unlike Dad, Mom goes
strictly by the recipe.”
“She’s our organizer and
the one that cleans up,”
Molly said.
Molly said she developed a love for baking
because of her aunt,
Janet Ausburn. “My
brother Taylor and I would
help her bake desserts
every Thanksgiving and
Christmas.
“She made awesome
chocolate éclairs. I would
tell her if she didn’t make
them, I would throw a fit
and you can bet she would
never fail. I’ve made her
éclairs once, but she was
standing beside me and
that’s when I fell in love
with baking.”
Molly says her aunt
taught her patience and
understanding. “To this
day, at the age of 23, I still
enjoy the tradition of going
to her house to bake for
the holidays,” she said.
Three additional members of Molly’s family also
inspired her cooking.
“I was itty-bitty when
my brothers, James and
Taylor, and some cousins
and I stayed at my grandmother’s house. (Veneta
GAIL NICKERSON/Special to The Saline Courier
Molly Wright of Benton shares memories of learning to cook.
Jacobs is her “Mema.”)
She taught me that you
can bake chocolate chip
cookies just for fun and
that grilled cheese sandwiches are awesome with
her homemade cucumber
pickles.
“My Memaw (Janet
Wright) introduced me
to fresh- from-the-garden
creamed corn. Each grandmother showed me so
many skills and that the
kitchen can be fun.”
She noted that going off
to college offered her the
opportunity to spend more
time in the kitchen.
“When I went to college
and got my own apartment, my roommates,
Darby Rogers and Kayle
Rutherford, loved for us
to split up days during the
week to cook new recipes
for each other. I think this
helped me acquire my love
for cooking and baking.”
She expressed appreciation to her parents,
grandmothers, her aunts
and roommates for sharing
their cooking knowledge
with her. “I think of each
of them when I’m cooking,” she said.
Molly says she enjoys
entertaining and celebrating all kinds of events.
“That’s how I learned to
cook in quantity and found
I was secure on my own in
the kitchen.”
Wright is a member
of Delta Zeta sorority
at University of Central
Arkansas and often invites
her sorority ‘little sister,’
Alex Langston, for a sleepover. She will make homemade cookies or she might
make a few calls and have
a girls’ night out on the
spur of the moment.
At such times she’ll
make warm cookies ready
to greet them on their
arrival.
She said, “I depend on
recipes online or I’ll make
my famous tortilla rollups
that Mom taught me to
make. I use flour tortillas
along with softened cream
cheese and drained Rotel
that’s whipped and spread
on the tortillas. I chill them
and cut them into rings. I
have a salsa available as a
dip for the rolls. These are
yummy.”
It didn’t take Molly
long to invade her dad’s
kitchen. “I remember
coming home to celebrate
Mardi Gras. I made beef
enchiladas and dip and I
had purchased a king cake
to add to the celebration.
He started telling me how
to make them and he was
mad when I told him it was
my kitchen and to please
leave, which he did. He ate
what I made.
“My second attempt
(to cook for her family)
was my spaghetti sauce
with taco seasoning and
Poblano????? peppers. Lo
and behold, he liked it. It
was hot. We’ll see what
happens next.”
Molly has a busy
schedule and does a lot of
cooking during the week.
“I’m one who picks a meal,
prepares it and eats the
leftovers the next day. My
Crock-pot makes everything easy now that I’m
finishing up my last part of
substitute teaching.
“My boyfriend, Matthew
Allen, can be in the kitchen with me as long as he
doesn’t hover around me.
He’s so sweet and likes
everything I make.”
Molly said she’s continually on the lookout for
something new to prepare
and share.
“I’ve discovered that
cooking helps you widen
your range of what foods
you like to eat.”
She recommends helping somebody learn how
to cook or “just getting out
there and trying it.”j
“The ones that have
stopped cooking should
try cooking one or two
days a week and that way
you can have a little bit of
home cooking without a
lot of work,” she said.
“Invite a friend over
and share a meal,” Molly
advised.
She believes that grandparents should cook with
their grandchildren.
“The grandchildren will
love it,” Molly said. “These
experiences may inspire
them to become excellent
cooks or chefs and they’ll
have lots of memories that
came from their grandparents’ kitchens.”
