WELCOMED EACH WEEK INTO THE HOME OF
Financials released for
proposed middle school
By Joseph Brown
Overcrowding and decrepit
facilities could soon be eased
if construction of a new middle
school, physical education gymnasium and multipurpose activity center gets approved. Dover
School Board members have
approved a budget of $14,307,937
to be generated from a millage
and state funding.
In the September 17 election the school district will ask
taxpayers for an increase of 5.5
mills. Personal property taxes
are computed from 20% of an
assigned appraisal value multiplied by the school districts millage rate. The 5.5 mill increase
will put the Dover School District with the highest rate in the
county at 45.8 mills.
The addition to the middle
school will be replacing a 34,000
square foot building that was
built in 1956. The Arkansas Division of Public School Academic
Facilities and Transportation has
placed a -14% depreciated value
on the building and has provided
$4,617,937.85 towards its renovation and addition.
The proposed plan will add
28 classrooms and renovate 10
in the building formerly referred
to as the Intermediate School. It
will be 36,246 additional square
feet including a FEMA approved
safe room, state of the art media
center and computer labs. The
total bill for the building will be
approximately $7,326,000.
A new artist rendition of the proposed multipurpose athletic center, provided by architect Phil Purifoy.
The physical education/ gymnasium will replace the WPA
(Old) Gym built in 1939. The
state has placed a -48% depreciated value on the building.
The new facility will be 13,150
square feet and consist of two
full length basketball courts,
two locker rooms and removable
bleachers. It will cost approxi-
mately $1,971,360.
The multipurpose activity
center will be 34,580 square feet
and consist of a 40-yard indoor
football practice field, locker
rooms, coach’s offices, film
rooms, weight rooms and batting cages. The football program
is currently housed in the back
building of the former primary
school built in 1963. The building will be available to other
activities including baseball,
softball, track and marching
band. It will also be available to
the community through youth
athletics and other activities.
This project will cost approximately $3,885,000.
The total bill for the three
buildings is estimated at
13,182,360 with the additional
1,125,577 being used for security and furnishings. Further
input is welcomed from the
community at the Continue
the Progress meetings held the
every other Tuesday. The next
is scheduled for July 2 at the
Middle School.
Barker hired as assistant
principal at elementary
Sonya Barker, current elementary principal at Greenbrier,
has been named assistant principal at Dover Elementary School
and will begin working in July.
Barker has twenty years
in experience in teaching and
administration. She was a graduate of Arkansas Tech in 1993 and
received her masters in 2000.
Former assistant Josh Daniels
was recently named principal of
the school after his predecessor
Donny Forehand was transferred
to the middle school.
Other personnel actions
included the hiring of Elizabeth
Nichols as middle school counselor, Ethan Hefley as technol-
ogy assistant and Jason Clark
as high school science teacher.
Resignations were accepted from
assistant choir teacher Margaret
Taylor and middle school math
teacher Danny Taverner.
In other business the board
discussed accepting applications for a new school resource
officer in partnership with the
Dover Marshall’s Office. “We
want to be sure we are involved
in the interview process and be
sure we get a candidate with the
right temperament towards children,” said Superintendent of
Schools Jerry Owens. The board
will look to hire a candidate as
early as July so they can undergo

OPINION
THE GUM LOG
By Van A. Tyson
Agriculture, near and far
My weekend was filled with
agricultural activity, close at
home and more widespread.
I will begin with the
close at home. It was
just my garden, where I
planted a row of purple
hull peas, an overdue
task, but probably early
enough,
considering
how fast they grow.
I also did some
hoeing, in the dry soil
before the rain came on
Sunday to soften it. I also spread
some soil conditioner on the
rows of tomatoes and green peppers in time for the light rain on
Sunday to soak it down into the
regular soil. The tomatoes are
just beginning to bloom, along
with the squash and cucumbers.
I think my potatoes, which I
planted at the end of February,
are ready to dig.
Now the widespread
Friday night was the other
agricultural event, when county
agent Phil Sims talked to the
Pope County Historical Association about the history of Pope
County agriculture.
He began with some early
census figures, including 1910,
with 214,678 farms in the county,
1920, with 232,604 farms, and
1925, with 221,991 farms.
He expanded on 1925, when
Pope County had 529,000 acres
of land, with 52% in farms.
That year, Pope County had
3,853 farms, placing
it ahead of Arkansas
County, with 2,169 210
farms. Other counties
with more farms were
Pulaski County, with
4,450 farms, Washington (Fayetteville) with
4,965 farms, and Jefferson (Pine Bluff) with
more than 6,000 farms.
He provided more
detail about 1925 (with
275,433 acres in farms) when
crop land totaled 127,039 acres,
pasture land 58,047, and woodland not in pasture 59,834. Other
details were:
Livestock valued at $838,215,
including:
* 2,241 horses and 6,731
mules, valued at more that
$422,000.
Cattle totaling 10,554 including 5,521 dairy cows, and 728
beef cows, with a total value of
$161,115.
Sheep totaling 249, goats
649, swine 8,608 and chickens
123,488.
Crops
were
valued
at
$3,921,941, including
Corn, 40,503 acres; wheat, 93
acres; oats, 652 acres; peanuts,
133 acres; hay, 10,299 acres;
cotton, 65,267, producing less
than a third of a bale an acre;
tobacco, 2 acres; white potatoes,
556 acres; sweet potatoes, 488
acres; strawberries, 24 acres.
Vegetables were for sale on a few
acres.
Also in 1925, there were
39,853 apple trees, 155,332
peach trees, and 35,535 grape
vines.
Jumping ahead, he provided
these figures for later years, with
limited statistics available.
1935 – With 3,425 farms, the
88,000 acres of crop land included
29,517 acres of corn and 33,437
acres of cotton, 6 acres of tobacco,
more than 100,000 peach trees,
and a few acres of soybeans, just
coming onto the scene.
1945 – With 2,464 farms,
total crop land of 114,000 acres
and livestock increasing, corn on
18,369 acres, cotton on 13,900
acres, and soybeans increasing.
1954 – With the number of
farms decreased to 1,753, corn
down to 7,300 acres, and down
again to 1,300 acres in 1964.
Phil also provided some
quotes of historical people. Two
by George Washington were:
“I had rather be on my farm
than be emperor of the world,”
and
“I know of no pursuit in which
more real and important services
can be rendered to any country
than by improving its agriculture,
its breed of useful animals, and
other branches of a husbandman’s cares.”
For your Health
Retirement
By David
Bachman M.D.
Retirement is that golden
word we all strive to add to our
list of achievements.
Sadly, many, by ignoring a
health lifestyle, never get
to it.
Others, again by excessive drinking and smoking,
get to it as disabled, frail
human beings.
One of the most difficult jobs in medicine is to
implant the seeds of preventive medicine – what
and how to avoid the pitfalls leading to disease and
early death.
Retirement is different for
many men and women – the
man retires from work and
spends his time either playing
golf, fishing or drinking beer.
For the woman, retirement
often means little in her life – she
still is stuck with the housework
– ironing, washing, keeping
house, doing the dishes, taking
care of things that go wrong in
the household and seeing meals
are cooked and on time.
\Once in awhile, a retired
man “pitches in”; but this seems
to be rare, according to women.
A friend sent me a copy of a
letter he had received from a
buddy who had recently retired.
Supposedly, the writer tried
to justify his dealing with
retired life and what it means to
his wife:
“It is important for men
to remember that, as women
grow older, it becomes harder
for them to maintain the same
quality of housekeeping as when
they were younger.
When you notice this, try not
to yell at them.
Some women are oversensitive and there’s nothing worse
that an oversensitive woman.
My name is Ron – let me
relate how I handled the situation with my wife, Julie.
When I took “early retirement” last year, it became necessary for Julie to get a full – time
job, both for extra income and
for the health benefits that we
needed.
Shortly after she began working, I noticed she was beginning
to show her age (66).
I usually get home from
the golf course about the same
time she gets home from work.
Although she knows how hungry
I am, she almost always says she
has to rest for half an hour or so
before she starts dinner.
I don’t yell at her, instead, I
tell her to take her time and just
wake me when she gets dinner
on the table.
Generally, I have
lunch at the Men’s
Grill at the club, so
eating out is not reasonable.
I’m ready for
some home cooked
grub when I hit that
door.
She used to do the
dishes as soon as we
finished eating, but
now it’s not unusual for them to
sit on the table for several hours
after dinner.
She has hinted about our
buying a dishwasher; however, that new set of golf clubs
I bought makes buying a dishwasher just too expensive.
AS for the dishes sitting in
the sink, I do what I can by
diplomatically reminding her
several times each evening that
they won’t clean themselves.
I know she appreciates this,
as it does seem to motivate her
to get them done before she goes
to bed.
I really think my experience
as a teacher helps a lot.
I consider telling people what
they ought to do – it’s one of my
strong points.
Now that she has gotten
older, she does seem to get tired
so much more quickly.
Our washer and dryer are in
the basement – sometimes she
says she just can’t make another
trip down those stairs.
As long as she finishes up
the laundry the next evening,
I’m willing to overlook it unless
I need something ironed to
the Monday lodge meeting, or
to Wednesday’s or Saturday’s
poker club or to Tuesday’s or
Thursday’s bowling league.
I am considerate in telling
her to wait an do the washing
the next evening – that way she
has time to do some odds and
ends like shampooing the dog,
vacuuming or dusting.
Also, if I had a really bad day
at the course and it was wet and
muddy, my clubs are a mess, so
I let her clean them – just to get
the grit off them and use some
Brillo on the club faces.
My golf bag is heavy, so I
lift it out of the trunk for her.
Women are delicate, have weak
wrists and can’t lift heavy stuff
as good as men.
I do tell her I don’t like to be
awakened during my after golf –
nap, so rather than bother me;
she can put them back in the
trunk when she is finished with
them.
Another symptom of aging is
complaining.
For example, Julie will say
that it is difficult for her to find
time to pay the monthly bills
during her lunch hour.
I just smile and offer her
encouragement and tell her to
stretch it out over two or three
days – that way she won‘t have
to rush so much.
I also remind her that missing lunch completely now and
then wouldn’t hurt her any – she
really needs to lose a couple of
pounds.
When doing simple jobs, she
seems to think she needs more
rest periods – she had to take
a break when she was only half
finished mowing the yard.
I try not to make a scene –
I tell her to fix a nice big cold
glass of freshly squeezed orange
juice – tell her she might as well
squeeze enough for two.
Then just sit for a while and
lay with me in the hammock for
a couple of minutes.
I know that I probably look
like a saint in the way I support
Julie.
I am not saying that showing
this much consideration is easy
– many men will find it difficult
- some will even find it impossible.
Nobody knows better than I
do how frustrating women get
as they get older.
If we guys use a little more tact
and less criticism of our aging
wives, I will consider that writing this advise letter to be worth
while – after all, we were all put
on this earth to help each other.”
Signed, Ron
ADDENDUM
The friend who sent me the
letter went on to say Ron died
suddenly on Thursday, Feb.13.
He was found with a Calloway
golf club (extra long 50 inches
Big Bertha Driver) rammed up
his posterior, with only 2 inches
of grip showing.
His wife, Julie, had given it to
him on his birthday.
Julie was arrested, but the all
woman Grand Jury accepted her
defense that he accidentally sat
on it and died.

In a Pinch?
The last two weeks have
been anything but normal for
yours truly. The work schedule
has been topsy-turvy and, for
a creature of habit like me, this
is not a good thing. I was, however, managing to cope fairly
well until a couple of days ago.
Saturday I awoke to stomach
pain, but worked anyway. With
about an hour to go in the work
day, I suddenly remembered
that there was a special “do” for
Father’s Day at church the next
morning. The week before I had
committed myself to bringing
something for a pot luck breakfast. Our normal Sunday service
convenes at 11:00 a.m. For this
event, the arrival time was 8:30
a.m. PANIC!!!
Fortunately I was at liberty in
my choice of what food to bring.
The gears in my head went into
action, assessing what was in
the pantry at home and bringing
the relief that comes with the
fact that I didn’t have to make a
stop at the grocery store on the
way home. It was, if you recall,
a hot day and I was tired. I also
decided that going to bed early
would be a good thing and that
I would have time to cook in the
morning. Wrong!!! I’d have to
do it Saturday night and give it
time to cool overnight. But I was
so very tired by the time I got
home, so searched for Plan B.
There it was! In the freezer I had
a loaf of challah bread from the
Old Mill Bakery in Little Rock.
On the shelf in the kitchen there
By “Pete Moss”
was an unopened jar of blueberry jam. In the refrigerator
I also had a stick of real butter,
not the fake stuff!
So off to bed it was, to get
some much-needed rest. In the
morning I sliced the bread and
wrapped it in aluminum foil and
tucked it into a slow oven while I
bathed and dressed.
We walked in the door at
8:45 a.m., but nobody seemed
to notice the tardiness. Several
others came in after us, so I
didn’t feel too bad about our late
arrival; besides, the breakfast
was to begin at 9:00 a.m. and
that it did.
I didn’t count noses, but all
of those sitting around the table
were congenial. After the plates
were cleared away, we had our
Bible study and then went into
the sanctuary for the church
service. By this time the stomach ache had begun to subside a
little, but was still there. It’s back
with a vengeance this morning,
but I feel much better about the
whole problem. I will manage
somehow to get to my dental
checkup, which was scheduled
six months ago . . . and I also have
an appointment with our family
doctor for after the first appointment. Word has it that this is
something that is going around
and, in my book, there are some
things a person doesn’t mess
around with – especially when it
involves an upset stomach.
What, you wonder, was Plan
A? It’s something that is called
“shoo fly cake.” It is a lot easier
than doing the pie crust thing.
I acquired a cookbook around
1969. It is called Favorite
Recipes of Lutheran Ladies
– Desserts. As you might suspect, there’s not a ringer in the
bunch!
I grew up on shoo fly pie, but
this is almost as good and a lot
easier to make. You might want
to try it sometime. The original credit goes to Mrs. Robert
Herbert from the Holy Trinity Body Bible Class of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. I had never
noticed the connection before,
but my father’s middle name
was Herbert and he graduated from Lehigh University in
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania!
Shoofly Cake
4 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 sticks margarine
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup baking molasses
2 cups warm water
1 Tablespoon baking soda
Mix together is large bowl
flour, sugar, margarine and
salt. Reserve ¾ cup of crumb
mixture; set aside. Mix in
separate bowl molasses, water
and baking soda. Add to flour
mixture; blend. Pour batter
into greased and floured
13x 9x2-inch pan. Top with
reserved crumb mixture. Bake
at 450 degrees F. for 10 minutes
and then reduce heat to 350
degrees F. and continue baking
for an additional 30 minutes.

Medical Care in Arkansas
by Bob Allen
Generally speaking the quality of health care in a nation
follows from the wealth of the
nation. The economy
of the United States
is the largest in the
world. When you
divide the economy by
the number of people
(per capita GDP) we
still fare well, generally in the top five
depending on who you
measure and who’s
doing the measuring.
If you have money we have
about the best health care system
in the world. But if you don’t have
the money, not so much. Measures of health of the population
are not so rosy for us. Something like forty or so countries
out of about two hundred, some
much poorer than we have lower
infant mortality rates, longer life
expectancies, and a better overall quality of life. Most of western
Europe, Asian countries such
as Japan and South Korea, even
Cuba out rank us in these health
care measures.
Within the United States,
Arkansas fairs poorly in these
measures with a relatively high
infant mortality rate (14th among
the 50 states) and shorter life
expectancy (7th shortest). The Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act colloquially
referred to as Obamacare should help
advance
Arkansas’
standing in the United
States and our standing in the world.
The reality is that
we are a poor state, ranking
very near the bottom in median
income. That translates to a
larger than average fraction of
the population without sufficient health care. To bring better
health care to those without,
Arkansas has chosen to expand
our Medicaid rolls as part of
Obamacare. The lion’s share of
this will be born of federal dollars. One hundred per cent of
the cost of Medicaid expansion
will be covered by federal dollars for the first seven years, and
ninety percent thereafter.
This will add close to a quarter of a million Arkansawyers

to the rolls of the insured, and
should help to lower our infant
mortality rate and extend life
expectancy. In the long run this
will also help lower the cost
of insurance for those already
insured. How so you ask? Read
on.
The cost of health insurance
to an individual is dependent
on what the insurer has to pay
the medical community, doctors and hospitals. Both law
and ethics require the medical
community to treat both the
insured and the uninsured. To
recover the cost of taking care
of the uninsured, doctors and
hospitals charge the insured a
rate that keeps them in business. Here is an important
point: The more insured the
fewer uninsured. The fewer
uninsured, the lower will be the
premiums for the insured.
An additional cost savings
of better health care for the less
fortunate is the fact that those
with insurance tend to get
better primary and preventive
care. It is ever so much cheaper
to provide an inexpensive
diuretic to lower blood pressure than to treat a heart attack
or stroke.
In the grand scheme of
things it is cheaper for the
haves to help out the have nots,
unless you are willing to turn a
blind eye on the sick, to literally
block them from the emergency
room door. “...the moral test of
government is how that government treats those who are in
the dawn of life, the children;
those who are in the twilight
of life, the elderly; those who
are in the shadows of life; the
sick, the needy and the handicapped. “ Hubert H. Humphrey

“The River Valley Arts
Center is thrilled to be able to
bring a fabulous family oriented
produc-tion of The Wizard of
Oz to the River Valley. Actual
dazzling flying scenes rarely
seen in the Russellville area are
in this live theatre performance
and will captivate audiences as
it has in sold-out performances
throughout the world.
The Wizard of Oz will open
Friday, June 21 at 7:30 p.m.
and continue Saturday, June 22
at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee on
Sunday, June 23 at 2:00 p.m. It
will continue on the following
week-end Friday and Saturday
June 28 – 29 at 7:30 and the final
performance will be a matinee
on Sunday at 2:00 p.m. June 30.
All performances are in The
Center for the Arts on the campus
of Russellville High School.
“Before the opening of this outstanding facility we did not have
the capability to perform the
exciting flying sequences so we
are all delighted that we now have
the opportunity to showcase the
impressive talent of local actors
with epic music performed by a
live orchestra. It also gives even
the very young actors and those
in the audience an exciting and
thrilling event they will remember forever,” said John Gale, Arts
Center president of the board of
directors.
In addition to the flys, one
of the most striking elements of
this production is the setting in
which it is presented. You are in
for a double treat if you haven’t
attended a performance in The
Center for the Arts, a 1,900 seat,
state-of-the-art theater built on
the campus of Russellville High
School for the benefit of the
school and the community. This
is a perfect setting for this wellknown and loved adaptation of
L. Frank Baum’s classic story.
This version is the more technically complex production and
uses as much of the aura of the
film as possible to create in a
modern theatre. This is an adaptation for live stage performance,
even while it strives to look and
sound just like the famous film in
telling the story.

Dig into reading with the summer
reading program at your library
With help from the Arkansas
State Library and the Collaborative Summer Library Program,
the Pope County Library System
(PCLS) is proud to open Summer
Reading Programs (SRP) for the
entire family to enjoy together!
“Dig Into Reading!” is the
theme for PCLS’s Children’s
SRP. This is a FREE program
for children aged 2-12 who live
or go to school in Pope County.
This program gives incentives
to young readers who continue
the reading progress that they
have made during the school
year. Read great books, try fun
activities and enjoy special guest
speakers!

at the End of Summer Reading
Program Party featuring a concert with Brian and Terri Kinder

Center on Saturday, July 20, at
2:30 p.m.
Registration is available at
all PCLS branches and www.
popelibrary.org. All of the programs will run from June 10
until July 20.
“Beneath the Surface” is
geared toward teens who live or
go to school in Pope County, and
who are ages 13-19 OR are in
grades 7-12. The program promotes reading through contests
and activities that appeal to teens’
lives and interests. Our goal is to
reach out to all teens, regardless
of economic or family situation,
to encourage them to read over
the summer, and to let them know
about the free resources available
through our libraries.
“Groundbreaking Reads” is
geared toward adults.
Pick your own book—read at
your own pace—review in your
own style.
Prizes will be given out
weekly throughout the programs, with special Grand
Prizes to be awarded at the end
of the program. The more you
read, the better your chances are
to WIN!
Any local businesses or individuals that would like to donate,

Wonder Boys and Golden Suns
overtake Harding.
Arkansas Tech received the
2012-13 GAC All-Sports Trophy
at the league’s GAC Night of
Champions on Monday at the
Bricktown Event Center in
Oklahoma City.
ATU finished the 2012-13
athletic season with a total of
64.5 points, four ahead of the
second-place Bisons. The competition came down to the final
weekend of the baseball season.
Harding needed to sweep Arkansas Tech to overtake the Wonder
Boys and claim the top spot, but
the Wonder Boys took two of the
three games to keep hold of the
all-sports trophy.
The Golden Suns shared firstplace with East Central in women’s tennis for the program’s
third top finish of the 2012-13
season. Soon after, the Wonder
Boys’ golf team edged out 2012
champion Southwestern Oklahoma State by a single stroke at
the Hot Springs Country Club.
ATU added top-three regularseason finishes in baseball and
softball to bolster its point total.
The five spring teams accumulated 32.5 out of a maximum 40
available from the five eligible
sports – men’s and women’s
golf, women’s tennis, baseball
and softball.
ATU finished the year with
first-place finishes in men’s
basketball, women’s basketball,
men’s golf and women’s tennis.
The Golden Sun volleyball team
added a second-place finish.
Harding finished in second
place for the second consecutive
year as they repeated as GAC
Champion on women’s golf. The
Bisons held the lead through the
fall and winter standings thanks
to titles in volleyball and men’s
basketball, runner-up showings
in women’s cross country and
football and a third-place finish
in women’s basketball.
East Central edged past
Southwestern Oklahoma State
to secure third place in the final
standings. The Lady Tigers
tied with Arkansas Tech atop
the women’s tennis standings
and added a runner-up regularseason finish to Southeastern
Oklahoma State in softball.
East Central joined Arkansas
Tech and Harding as the only
three GAC schools to earn multiple first-place finishes during
the year as the women’s cross
country team won its first GAC
Championship back in October
at its home venue.
The Bulldogs came in fourth
as they claimed a pair of second-place finishes in the spring
- men’s golf and baseball. Combined with a runner-up showing
in women’s basketball, SWOSU
registered a league-high three
second-place results.
Southern Arkansas claimed
the final regular-season title
- baseball - to complete a season-long improvement that culminated in a fifth-place finish. A
year ago, the Muleriders ended
in ninth, however, thanks in
large part to a strong fall that
featured third-place finishes in
women’s cross country and football and tie for second in volleyball, the Muleriders moved up to
fifth place in the final standings.
Third - Fifth grade participants.

FROM THE BENCH
The Top Five Quarterbacks From Arkansas Who Didn’t Pan Out as Razorbacks
By Robert Shields
Listen to the multitude of
Arkansas’ sports call-in shows
during the summer and you will
come to one conclusion – there
is really no other sports topic
than Razorback football in this
state. Sure, there are tons of other
sporting activities taking place,
but none that draws the singular
interest of Razorback football
that is also evidenced on the local
news’ sportscasts.
So in keeping with this directive, this week I give you the topic
of great Arkansas quarterbacks
who never made it as a Razorback.
There have been some great
quarterbacks from Arkansas
that have gone to the University
of Arkansas and been very successful – Tyler Wilson is a recent
example.
But then there have been other
great quarterbacks from Arkansas such as Clark Irwin who won
a state championship at Central
High School and did not have
the same success as a Razorback.
Irwin stuck it out and became
the place holder. He did a great
job because you never heard his
name come up with angry talkshow callers after a loss.
Irwin is just one of many who
never panned out for the Razorbacks but had the resume coming
out of an Arkansas high school
that led most of the talk-show
audience to believe that they
could make good, or at least that’s
what they were told by one of the
star recruiting analysts.
Here are my top-five highschool quarterbacks who became
Razorbacks and later left, disappeared, or became lost on the
roster for whatever reason. So
take this as a tribute to those that
might have been. Let the list roll:
5) Landon Leach – He put
up great numbers at Russellville
High School and won the 2002
Landers Award as the state’s
top high-school football player.
Leach was the hope at one time
of bringing some passing to
Houston Nutt’s ground-oriented
attack but was plagued by injuries that ended his promising
throwing career. He could have
been remembered as the one who
implemented the forward pass in
a Nutt offense and paved the way
for Mitch Mustain.
4) Jared McBride – There was
a lot of hope placed on this great
quarterback out of Nashville
High school by Razorback fans,
but his stint at Arkansas was
sporadic thanks to injuries. His
opportunity for playing time was
so limited, I think he even graduated. McBride is now a successful head coach at Lakeside High
School.
3) Gary Brashears – He was
a Parade All-American coming
out Clarksville High School. The
Sporting News had him ranked as
the second-best quarterback in the
country. He was highly recruited
and was in the sights of Michigan,
which was just one year removed
from a national title. Brashears
was in the same recruiting class
that brought in Sparky Hamilton
and Cedric Cobbs in February
of 1999. It seemed like a dream
trio, and the Razorbacks were
coming off a spectacular season
in Nutt’s first year. But it all fell
apart and Brashears later quit the
team after being publicly criticized by quarterbacks coach Joe
Ferguson. Brashears’ parents said
he was not comfortable playing
for the Razorbacks, and subsequent transfers never worked out.
Sound familiar?
2) Mike Cherry – The Texarkana product was in the same
class with Barry Lunney Jr.
Lunney made it through his four
years, but Cherry transferred
to Murray State where Houston
Nutt was coaching at the time.
Cherry later went on to the NFL
with a decent career and may be
the best quarterback Nutt ever
coached, though ironically not
at Arkansas. Cherry and Lunney
were both true freshmen in Jack
Crowe’s last season, which only
lasted one game against the Citadel. Lunney’s comeback drive
against Tennessee in Knoxville
cemented his job and sent maybe
the better quarterback in Cherry
to other pastures.
1) Mitch Mustain – As one
of the infamous Springdale
Five, Mustain was the Parade
player of the year, the Gatorade
player of the year, and the USA
Today player of the year coming
out of Springdale High School.
He surely has the highest winning percentage of starting
Razorback quarterbacks with at
least eight starts. After his first
season, he transferred to USC
where he had to wait behind
Mark Sanchez and Matt Barkley. His football career didn’t
get off the ground in LA, but
on the upside he got to hang out
with the USC Song Girls, which
beats playing football any day.

State Capitol Week in Review
From Senator Michael
Lamoureux
There are some Arkansas students who have completed the
relevant course work for a certificate from a two-year college,
but they have never received recognition for their achievement
because they transferred from
one institution to another in the
middle of their college career.
Higher education officials
announced an initiative called
“Credit When It’s Due” that will
award those students with their
certificates from one of the 22
two-year colleges in Arkansas.
Many students start college at
a two-year institution and then
transfer to a four-year institution
with the intention of earning a
baccalaureate degree. About
45 percent of them don’t ever
finish the required course work
for a degree from the four-year
school, but in the process of
studying for a degree they com-
plete 60 hours that count towards
an associate’s degree.
Had they stayed at the twoyear college those hours would
have been enough to qualify
them for a certificate, but because
their credit hours are divided
between two separate campuses
it appears on their official transcripts and on their job applications as if they only finished high
school. The lack of a certificate
can keep them from getting jobs
and if they have a job it can keep
them from advancing and earning more income.
Under the “Credit When It’s
Due” initiative, the Arkansas
Research Center at Conway will
gather grades and other information from students’ records. The
Center will notify two-year colleges of students who transferred
and completed sufficient course
work at a four-year university.
Those students will receive the
degree for which their credits
qualify them. In colleges and
universities the process is often
called a “reverse transfer.”
The first stage of the initiative
is for students who transferred
from a two-year college in the
fall of 2008 and subsequently
finished enough credit hours at a
four-year campus to have earned
an associate’s degree. Over time
the initiative will expand to
make more students eligible.
Research shows that people
who have completed even a few
college courses generally earn
more money in their careers than
people who have only finished
high school, but people who have
earned an associate’s degree
earn even more money.
Elected officials and policy
makers in Arkansas are working to help more students earn
their degrees because it boosts
economic prosperity to have an
educated workforce.
The 11 publicly funded four-
year universities in Arkansas
are participating, according to
the announcement by the state
Department of Higher Education and the Arkansas Association of Two-Year Colleges.
Shortfall in Specialized
Scholarships
The legislature has already
begun work on an issue expected
that may need to be resolved
during the 2014 fiscal session - a
projected shortfall in funding of
specialized scholarships. The
recipients include children of
law enforcement officers, students at historically black colleges and universities, students
training to be teachers in areas
where there is a teacher shortage
and older students.
At this time it appears that
about $5.5 million will be
needed to avoid reductions in the
number of scholarships awarded
in the 2014-2015 school year.
That number may change.
Museum of Discovery opens new exhibit
The Museum of Discovery’s
latest exhibit, How People Make
Things, will open to the public
on Saturday, June 22.
Every object in our world
has a story of how it is made.
How People Make Things tells
that story by linking familiar
childhood objects to a process
of manufacturing that combines
people, ideas and technology.
The exhibit, inspired by the
factory tour segments from the
Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood
television series, offers handson activities using real factory
tools and machines to create
objects with four manufacturing processes - molding, cutting, deforming and assembly.
Step into the exhibit’s main
office, where you can don coveralls, lab coats, aprons, safety
glasses, boots and hard hats to
become a factory technician,
worker or supervisor. Use a die
cutter to make a box and a horse,
operate a 3-axis mill to carve a
block of wax, assemble parts of
a real golf cart and see who can
assemble a replica of the signature trolley from
Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood the fastest. You can also
mold pourable wax, explore
vacuum forming and injection
molding and match products to
the mold from which they were
Let’s
Dine In
made. Or play the “People in
Your Neighborhood” matching
game, developed with The Saturday Light Brigade
radio program, where audio
clues and stories help you match
the person to the object they
make.
“Manufacturing is an industry critical to Arkansas’s economy, and we are proud the
Museum of Discovery has leased
this blockbuster exhibit that
shows children and their families
through hands-on experiences
the variety of engaging activities that take place every day on
the floor of manufacturing facilities,” said Kelley Bass, Chief
Executive Officer at the Museum
of Discovery. “Our museum’s
mission is igniting a passion for
science, technology and math in
a dynamic, interactive environment, and How People Make
Things brings that mission to life
for our visitors.”
The exhibit also features factory tour videos from the Mister
Rogers’ Neighborhood television
series that depict the making of
crayons, carousel horses, balls,
traffic lights, quarters, shoes, toy
cars and toy wagons.
Additional products featured
in How People Make Things
include 10,000 Crayola crayons
in 90 colors, 10,000 plastic pel-
lets, traffic lights, cooking pans,
sneakers, baseball bats, baseball
mitts and matchbox cars.
Arkansas manufacturers will
be represented through supplemental exhibit pieces, including
valves from Cameron Valves
and a pump produced by Franklin Electric. A streaming presentation from Cameron will
also show how the company’s
valves are made and can be
deconstructed.
How People Make Things is
sponsored by Cameron Valves,
Arkansas Manufacturing Solutions and Franklin Eclectic.
It will be on display at the
Museum of Discovery until
September 22.
Museum of Discovery’s mission is to ignite a passion for
science, technology and math in Julia Edwards and friends enjoyed a limo ride to Mike’s Place in Conway for dinner. Julia was the

small. Join a park interpreter

small native wonders we have
around us.
Friday, June 21

did to pass the time while the
exploration and progress of their
parents forged the culture you

the park in the grassy area near
the playground and learn some
of these fun ways to pass the
time.
Saturday, June 22

Join a park interpreter in the visitor center classroom and learn
about the wide variety of shapes
and sizes of fish the live in Lake
Dardanelle, due to its health and
diversity. After you discover the
reasons for their shapes you can
create a fish of your own.
2 p.m. –Spring-O– Lake Dardanelle’s diverse habitats sustain
many living creatures. There
are many wetlands around Lake
Dardanelle; these wetlands that
surround the lake create the perfect homes. We will learn about
the wetlands and the creatures
that call them home. We will
explore the park and discover
how many we can find. Join a
park interpreter at the front desk
of the visitor center to start your
adventure.
3 p.m. – “Little Brother” –
Have you ever thought about
how people survived before
there were stores to buy what
they needed? Come to the Dardanelle side of the park in the
grassy area near the playground
to learn about how the Cherokee
used parts of a deer to get what
they needed to survive.
5 p.m. – Campground Wildlife– The diverse habitats in
and around Lake Dardanelle
create many opportunities to see
unique wildlife. The wildlife you
encounter while camping may
be the most memorable part of
your trip. Join a park interpreter
at the amphitheater to discover
the animals that might visit your
campsite.
7:30 p.m. – Evening Kayak
Tour– As the Arkansas River
journeys through Lake Dardanelle, it continually shapes
the land and creates numerous
opportunities for people to enjoy
from fishing to kayaking. We’ll
be paddling our kayaks through
some seldom closely seen shoreline of this beautiful 34,000 acre
lake. Sign up at the visitor center
(479-967-5516) at least one day

Historically this area was home
to several Native American
tribes. Nature was and still is for
many Native Americans a big
part of what makes up their culture. We will look at a small bit
of nature that helped shape many
of the cultural artifacts of many
of the tribes from this area. We
will explore the many meanings
snakes had for Native Americans
and how they were incorporated
into everyday life. You will learn
about the characteristics that
made these snakes feared and
revered. Join a park interpreter
at the amphitheater and meet
some of these creatures.
1 p.m. – Hummers in Your
Yard– Hummingbirds are some
of nature’s most fascinating
creatures. Known for their brilliant colors and amazing powers
of flight, the hummingbird has
long been a favorite of bird-lovers. Join a park interpreter in
the classroom to discover how
you can enjoy their dazzling air
shows in your backyard.
3 p.m. – River Ramble– As
the Arkansas River journeys
through Lake Dardanelle, it
continually shapes the land
and creates opportunities for
people like you. The river
is always changing it hasn’t
always looked the way it does
today. Join a park interpreter in
the grassy area across from the
visitor center and learn some of
the hazards and bounty the river
has in store. You will have to
navigate your way to safety in
order to reap the rewards in our
fun river ramble.

many opportunities for discovery and exploration. Meet a
park interpreter in the grassy
area across from the visitor
center to find out what is in her
magic bag! We’ll play a little

your way around. Hints will be
given, but you’ll be testing your
sense of wildlife!

THE HISTORY LESSON

the most vague in name origin. It
is assumed to be an alteration of
Eskimo.
Another dog from the north
is the Labrador Retriever. Originating in the New Foundland
Province (which includes Labrador), this animal is described as
a short-haired dog with notable
breadth of head and chest.
Two other dog breeds with
geographical basis for their
names are Pekingese and Pomeranian. The Pekingese is a Chines
pug named for the city of Peking.
Similarly the Pomeranian is
named for its area of origin
(Pomerania), a province in northeastern Prussia on the Baltic Sea.
In contrast, the Poodle gets its
name from a tangential connection to its function. The name
Poodle comes from German
Pudel or pudeln which means
splash in the water.
The St. Bernard has a person
as the source for the name of
this breed. It was named for
St. Bernard of Menthon, a 11thcentury humanitarian who had a
hospice in a pass between Italy
and Switzerland. These dogs
became famous for their size,
their assistance in rescue work
and the casks of brandy they carried around their necks.
The schnauzer breed gets
its name from one of its characteristics. It is a growler and
schnauzer is the German word
for growler.
Two other dog breeds with
a geographical basis for their
names are Scottie and Spaniel.
Scottie comes from the ladies
of Scotland. In a similar fashion, the Spaniel breed also has
a geographical basis. Originating in Spain, the dog’s name
comes from Latin spaniolis
(Spain).
The final two breeds received
their name from their function.
Terrier goes back to Latin terra
(earth). These dogs were bred to
dig up the earth and roust their
quarry out of their holes. The
Wolfhound very logically was
bred to hunt wolves.
