2nd electric
substation
to be built
in Benton
LITTLE ROCK — Governor Asa Hutchinson signed
into law the Achieving A Better Life Experience
Program Act (House Bill 1239) by Representative Julie
Mayberry (R-Hensley) which implemented United
States Public Law Number 113-295 (the Tax Increase
Prevention Act of 2014) Division B: Achieving A Better
Life Act. The federal law was passed in December 2014
and supported by the entire Arkansas Congressional
Delegation.
“This legislation will
empower individuals with
disabilities to be more selfsufficient. Instead of giving a
person a fish to feed them for
a day, we are teaching them
how to fish to feed themselves
for a lifetime,” Mayberry said.
“This will open opportunities to save money for future
essential needs like healthcare, education, transportation
and employment training and
support. This is a huge step
towards independence.”
The Achieving A Better Life Experience Program
(ABLE) will allow for families with individuals with
disabilities to set up a 529 savings account to be used
for eligible expenses to care for the individual and
those funds would be exempt from state and federal
taxes. Those eligible expenses include education, transportation, assistive technology, healthcare, wellness
expenses and employment training and support.
“We must work to increase understanding of and support for Arkansans living with disabilities. I supported
the Achieving A Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act of
2014 in Congress and support this legislation which
ensures that our state has tax-free savings accounts
available to assist those living with disabilities,” said
Lieutenant Governor Tim Griffin. “I applaud Rep. Julie
Mayberry for her leadership on this legislation.”
HB 1239 established a committee to administer this
program in the state. The committee is comprised of
the Treasurer of State, Director of the Department
of Human Services and the Director of Arkansas
Rehabilitation Services.
This legislation has been introduced in 26
other states this year and has been passed in four
states. There was bipartisan support for this legislation
in the Arkansas General Assembly. It was lead in the
Senate by Senator Jeremy Hutchinson (R-Benton) and
Mayberry

A second city-owned electric substation is going up in Benton, the
city’s utilities announced in a news
release.
Benton Utilities said it has plans to
construct the new substation in the
northernmost part of Hurricane Lake
Estates, and that it is expected to
be up and running in late 2017. The
second substation will add to the first
one that went online in 2014 on Dale
Avenue. That substation supplies 30
million watts of power and serves 1/3
of the city’s entire energy use.
“This 10MVA substation will
serve the growing needs of existing
customers as well as future developJOE PHELPS/The Saline Courier
ments taking place now,” Benton
A caution sign hangs on a chain-link fence surrounding the electric substation on Dale Avenue. A

BHS senior drama students to present pageant spoof
By Lynda Hollenbeck
[email protected]
“The Miss High School USA
Beauty Pageant” by Kamron
Klitgaard will be presented this
weekend by senior drama students of
Benton High School.
Admission is $5.
Performances are scheduled at
7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 11, and
2 p.m. Sunday, April 12, in Butler
Auditorium.
Summer Scott, director and theater
instructor at the school, provided the
following synopsis of the play:
Pandemonium breaks out at
the local high school beauty pageant. Everything starts out OK, but
when the pageant director hires a
couple of dimwitted tech guys to
sabotage the contestants, mayhem
ensues.
To add to the confusion, Miss
English gets stage fright, Miss Art’s
father wants her to come home to
do her chores, Miss Drama’s friends
want to get into the act, and Miss
Valedictorian recently had a brain
operation.
It’s like a pageant at an insane
asylum. Just as the winner is to be
announced, the pageant erupts into
local disarray. Audience members
serve as judges and hilarity ensues,
Scott said.
Portraying contestants, from left, are
Cassie Lovell, Corinda
Burkett, Mollie Elliot,
Ashley Cooper, Sarah
Williams and Caroline
Bivens.

LITTLE ROCK —
Arkansas Gov. Asa
Hutchinson said Thursday
he’ll quickly appoint three
special justices to hear a
case a majority of the state
Supreme Court says must
be addressed before they
can rule on whether to legalize gay marriage.
The Republican governor
didn’t offer a timeline for
when he’d name the justices
to the separate case surrounding whether Justice
Rhonda Wood, who was
sworn in in January, can
rule on the constitutionality
of the state’s ban on samesex marriage. Justices last
week said a separate case
was needed on the matter, a
move that likely pushes the
consideration until after the
U.S. Supreme Court rules on
the same topic.
“We recognize the importance and urgency of it. ...
We want to move quickly on
it,” Hutchinson told reporters. Hutchinson, who took
office in January, has said he
opposes same-sex marriage.
Chief Justice Jim Hannah
and Justice Paul Danielson
recused themselves
Wednesday from the newly
created case, and Wood last
week also stepped aside.
None of the three have
recused themselves from
the larger case over gay
marriage’s legality.
Governor: Special session likely on Medicaid plan
By Andrew DeMillo
LITTLE ROCK — A
special session will likely
be needed to take up the
future of Arkansas’ compromise Medicaid expansion,
Gov. Asa Hutchinson said
Thursday, warning that
he doesn’t want the new
program to mimic what’s
already in place.
told reporters that he’d
prefer the recommendations of a task force looking
at alternatives for covering
those on the “private option”
be considered in a special
session, rather than when
the Legislature returns next
year to take up the budget.
“I think the public
expects a special session
that will be devoted to this
issue because it’s a very
large challenge for us and
we’ve got to build the consensus for it,” Hutchinson
said in his office.
Under the private option,
Arkansas is using federal
funds to purchase private
insurance for the poor. The
program was crafted as an
alternative to the Medicaid
expansion envisioned
under the federal health
law. Lawmakers voted this
year to continue the program another year, while a
16-member legislative task
force looks at alternatives
for covering the more than
200,000 people on the program.
While it’s possible the
task force could recommend
an expansion identical to the
private option, Hutchinson
said “that’s probably the
only thing that’s off the
table.”
“I don’t think anybody
who expects that this was
the end to the private option
wants it to be tweaked in
minor ways and relabeled,”
Hutchinson said. “That’s
not going to fly with the
Arkansas voters and that’s
not my expectation. I
think this is going to be a
total refiguring of it in an
Arkansas way with compassion, fiscal prudence and
then also one that’s innovative.”
The private option has
sharply divided Republicans,
who control the Legislature
and have made gains in the
state primarily by running
against the federal health
law that helped spawn it.
Arkansas was the first state
given approval for such a
hybrid plan for expanding
coverage.
Hutchinson had urged
lawmakers to keep the program alive through the end
of 2016, when the state is
required to pay for part of
the expansion — 5 percent in
2017, and 10 percent by 2020.
The task force is required to
issue its recommendations
later this year. The 2016 legislative session is scheduled to
begin in February.
Hutchinson said creating
the task force gives hospitals
— which have credited the
private option with cutting
costs of caring for those
without insurance — and
those on the program more
certainty and time to prepare
for any changes.
“They can handle change,
as long as there’s sufficient
lead time and they’re a part
of that and they understand
what the future is so they
can make the proper adjustments,” Hutchinson said.
Hutchinson: No urgent need for anti-discrimination order
By Andrew DeMillo
LITTLE ROCK —
Arkansas Gov. Asa
Hutchinson said Thursday
he doesn’t see an urgent
need to expand workplace
anti-discrimination protections for gay and lesbian
state employees after lawmakers reworked a religious objections measure
to address concerns it was
discriminatory.
told reporters he floated
the idea of such an order
as an alternative in case
lawmakers didn’t agree to
his request to revise a bill

Advanced Shooting instruction available
prohibiting state and local
government from infringing on someone’s religious
beliefs without a compelling
reason. Hutchinson signed
a compromise version of the
bill after it was changed to
more closely mirror a 1993
federal law.
“I don’t see any
urgent need for it now,”
Hutchinson said. “Again, I
got my request, so we’ll see
what the future develops
but I considered the issue
resolved when they gave me
my first request of a new
bill.”
Hutchinson had called
for changes to the bill after

from some of the state’s
largest employers, including retail giant Walmart.
He signed the compromise
measure into law the same
day Indiana’s governor
approved an amendment to
that state’s religious objections law in the face of similar protests.
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.
Opponents have said the
measure could still allow for
discrimination, particularly
because Arkansas doesn’t
include sexual orientation
or gender identity in its
anti-discrimination law. The
Human Rights Campaign,
the nation’s largest lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgender rights group, has
said it’ll spend the coming
months urging Hutchinson
to sign an order giving antidiscrimination protections
to LGBT state workers.
“Now is the time to take
action,” HRC’s Arkansas
Director Kendra Johnson
said in a statement
Thursday afternoon. She
said issuing the executive order would be an
“essential first step” toward
Hutchinson proving the religious-objection bill “debacle
is behind him.”
Hutchinson also said he
didn’t regret his support for
the initial version of the religion bill.
“That’s not the kind of
issue you want bottled up
in committee, so I’m glad
it ultimately got to the
floor for a vote and I was
glad to encourage that,”
Hutchinson said. “Now, in
hindsight, sure, I wish we
all knew 45 days ago what
we know today. We could
have been more precise in
the language and I would
have made my call for a bill
that precisely mirrors the
federal bill earlier.”

Answer

How Children
Mourn
As difficult as it may be to
imagine, children were once
thought of as miniature adults
and were expected to behave
as such. Of course, we now
understand that there are vast
differences in the ways that
children and adults behave
and perceive the world. When
it comes to mourning loss,
bereaved children do not
experience continual and
intense emotional and behavioral grief reactions. Children
may seem to show grief only
occasionally and briefly, but,
in reality, a child’s grief usually lasts longer than that of
an adult. As the surviving
child grows, he or she may
think about the loss repeatedly, especially during important times in his or her life,
instead of confronting grief
more immediately. ASHBY
FUNERAL HOME hopes that
you found this topic to be both
interesting and informative.
Our caring staff is experienced in assisting those who
are grieving. We have been
serving the community with
compassion for many years.
Should you suffer the loss
of a loved one, we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week by calling 778-2544

What women
won in the
Civil War?
W
I
’ve always had a huge level of respect for teachers with the things they have to go through on a
daily basis. My husband is a teacher and a licensed
principal so I have a little bit of insight into that world.
Anyone who says this profession has it
easy because they are “off for the summers” is an idiot. They obviously don’t
think about the loads of papers that are
brought home each night for grading.
While me and the kids are watching
TV in the evenings, my husband is
grading papers. Or entering grades
into the school’s website. Or working
on lesson plans. Yes, lesson plans are
Camille
required and not only that, they have to
Nesler
be updated weekly. Teachers don’t put
in 8 hour work days it’s more like 10
OUTSIDE
or 12. Especially if they have bus duty
THE BOX
or help out with tutoring the way Nick
does. And summers aren’t free either.
Teachers are required by the state to get 60 hours
of professional development each school year. When
exactly do you think they have the time to do that? You
guessed it. Summer. So yeah, clueless folks who like to
mouth off about teachers having it easy really need to
check themselves. Remember that feeling of wanting to
pull your hair out after being stuck at home a few snow
days with your bored and restless children? Multiply
that a zillion times and you’ll get the picture of what a
teacher’s day is like.
So with that in mind I usually try to cut teachers a
small break when I read about nutty things that happen
in schools across the country. been a whirlwind. I realize not all educators are as compassionate and dedicated as my husband, but come on!
Last week for example a 12 year old student in
Florida was suspended for 5 days because she recorded her teacher bullying another student. Apparently
this had happened before and the kid wanted proof. As
a result the teacher ended up being fired so you know
there was something to the bullying allegations. So
WHY did the kid get suspended? School officials claim
it is illegal in the state of Florida to record someone
without their knowledge. Seems the parents got some
legal advice and found it’s more of a “grey” area when
you are in a public place with no expectation of privacy
( like a classroom) and luckily, the school got smart
and lifted the girl’s suspension. I mean really! She was
RIGHT, why punish her for exposing the teacher?
But hey, at least Florida got it right in the long run.
Two teachers in South Carolina recently made a 7 year
old clean out a toilet with his bare hands. The kid had
used too much tissue paper and as a result the commode became blocked. So to “teach a lesson” the child
was made to clean out the toilet, which contained feces,
with his bare hands while other students watched. News reports claim those “professionals” were suspended for a period of time but have since returned to
work. Why weren’t THEY fired? If that’s not a clear cut
case of adults bullying a child I don’t know what is!
But finally, the one that breaks my heart the most
is the school in Kansas that recently told a special
needs student who is a member of his school’s Special
Olympics basketball team, that he couldn’t wear his letterman’s jacket. They even went so far as to make him
remove the jacket at school. All this because some parent of a student on the varsity team, claimed he didn’t
“earn” the jacket or the letter. Apparently the school
claims his special needs basketball team isn’t considered “official” varsity sports. Give me a break. Have
you ever watched any of the Special Olympics sports
events? Well I have. Those kids have to put twice as
much into it as a student with no disabilities. Yes, they
work every bit as hard and deserve every bit as much
recognition. SHAME on Wichita East High School!
I sincerely hope the arrogant parent who complained
ends up with a REAL pole crammed up their posterior
instead of just the proverbial one.
Why trust anything
in ‘Rolling Stone’
ever again?
S
o here’s my question: Why
would a conscientious citizen
ever again trust anything published in Rolling Stone? To me, the
diligent professors at the Columbia
Graduate School of Journalism went
too easy on the magazine’s reporters
and editors.
Rolling Stone’s
doomed article about
a make-believe gang
rape at a University
of Virginia fraternity
house was more than
“a story of journalistic
failure that was avoidable.” The magazine
and its editors made
themselves willing, if
ene
not downright eager,
parties to a hoax
yons
-- and not a terribly
sophisticated hoax
at that.
Frankly, it’s getting to where the
cultural left’s credulousness about melodramatic tales of victimization quite
matches the conspiracy mongering of
the right.
But hold that thought.
That nobody’s resigning or getting
fired strikes me as the death knell for
Rolling Stone’s reputation. More than
that, its editors profess themselves
“unanimous in the belief that the story’s
failure does not require them to change
their editorial systems.” They even
insist that the article’s author, Sabrina
Rubin Erdely, will write for them again.
I’ll believe that when I see it. Perhaps
she can write captions for cute kitten photos or an astrology column.
Have I mentioned that Erdely teaches
journalism classes at the University of
Pennsylvania?
Anyway, to hear them tell it, the
editors’ biggest mistake was bending
over backward to protect the tender
sensibilities of the “survivor of a terrible
sexual assault.” One confessed that
“ultimately, we were too deferential to
our rape victim; we honored too many
of her requests in our reporting. We
should have been much tougher, and
in not doing that, we maybe did her a
disservice.”
Noble sentiments. However, what
rape victim? After a four-month probe,
the Charlottesville police department
concluded there was no credible evidence to support Rolling Stone’s melodramatic narrative. None whatsoever.
Although the police chief -- clearly pandering to campus political sentiments
-- conceded that his investigation didn’t
prove nothing bad ever happened to
“Jackie,” the magazine’s one-and-only
source.
Of course no investigation can ever
prove such a thing. Only that not a
single verifiable element of Jackie’s
G
L
story checked out. There wasn’t even a
frat party on the night of the supposed
drunken incident.
Of the many falsehoods Jackie spun
for the enraptured Erdely, my personal
favorite is “Haven Monahan.” That’s the
name of the handsome classmate Jackie
told friends escorted her to the imaginary party. The friends were unable to
confirm that the fellow was enrolled at
UVa, possibly because -- and what are
the odds? -- there appears to be nobody
by that name living anywhere in the
United States of America.
Erdely told the Columbia sleuths she
began to harbor doubts about Jackie’s
trustworthiness when she wasn’t sure
how to spell her betrayer’s name. Alas,
her Rolling Stone piece was already
in print; she’d been touting it all over
MSNBC and CNN. The J-School
team politely pretended to believe this
improbable tale.
Because until then, see, neither
Erdely, her editors, Rolling Stone’s factcheckers, nor even -- astonishing to me
-- the magazine’s libel lawyers had done
a single bit of journalistic due diligence
regarding Jackie’s tale of woe. They’d
swallowed it whole, making no effort
to contact the three pseudonymous
friends whom the magazine “quoted” as
warning Jackie that reporting the crime
would make her a campus pariah.
They’d taken Jackie’s word for it.
It was the same with the alleged
perps. Erdely took no serious steps
to contact them. Even the failure of
Jackie’s mother to return phone calls
failed to clue the entranced reporter
that something might be fishy. Her editors played right along.
Actually, there’s a psychiatric term
called “folie a deux” in which two
closely allied persons come to share
the same delusional belief. However,
it’s impossible to know Jackie’s state
of mind, since she’s gone into hiding.
By her own account, Erdely arrived in
Charlottesville with strong convictions
about campus “rape culture” and the
wickedness of WASP fraternity boys
-- particularly Southern ones.
She let the theme determine the
facts, an elementary blunder. “Those
failures were so profound and so basic
that it’s hard to know how we can even
look at this as a teachable moment,”
writes Northeastern University journalism professor Dan Kennedy on his
“Media Nation” blog. “The lesson is
‘don’t do any of this.’”
Writing in The Daily Beast,
Columbia University linguist John
McWhorter challenges what he sees as
the self-delusions of the sentimental left:
“The whole sordid affair has been about
something much larger: the idea that
the pursuit of justice can be separated
from facts; that metaphorical truth can
be more important than literal truth.”

hen the Civil War ended 150
years ago, Washington, D.C.
celebrated with parades and
pyrotechnics as Gen. Ulysses S. Grant
and his wife arrived fresh
from accepting Gen.
Robert E. Lee’s surrender
at Appomattox. Greeted
by booming cannons fired
from forts surrounding
the capital, the triumphal
procession took them past
buildings festooned in red,
white and blue.
Cokie
Only a few days later,
Roberts
the shocked city yanked
down the colorful buntings, replacing them with black crepe.
Abraham Lincoln had been murdered,
adding his life to the more than 600,000
lost in the war.
Victory came at a horrible cost. But the
United States, by definition, would not
have become the powerful and purposeful nation it is today had that victory not
been achieved. By insisting on holding
together the Union and eventually abolishing slavery, Lincoln created a military
and moral force. And though freeing the
slaves was clearly the greatest good to
come from the conflict, other advances
also resulted from the more than four
years of carnage. No longer these United
States, as they had been before the war,
the United States emerged as a more
cohesive country, with a unifying railroad
underway that would soon connect the
east coast to the west.
And it was a country where the role of
women had changed for the better.
The now-familiar image of “Rosie the
Riveter,” head wrapped in a bandana
and mouthing the motto “We Can Do
It,” has educated the country about the
assembly-line women who helped win
World War II. And the “government girls”
who poured into Washington to staff the
bureaucracies running that war, plus
other government programs burgeoning
into being, have received some modicum
of the credit due them. Their sisters
from the Civil War have gone largely
unrecognized, but they, too, were on the
job, working for the cause -- as Cokie
has learned in researching her new book
“Capital Dames.”
Young women toiled in the arsenals
around the North, taking on the dangerous task of making munitions. In
Washington, a huge explosion killed
more than 20 of the hoop-skirt-wearing
arsenal workers, causing the whole city,
led by the president and secretary of war,
to turn out to honor them.
Women in Philadelphia making uniforms and other items for the soldiers
sent a delegation to meet with Lincoln to
protest a cut in fees. They organized a
labor union-type association to push for
higher pay for their essential endeavors.
After hearing them out, the president
instructed his military men to heed the
women’s demands.
Soon after Congress authorized the
printing of paper money to finance the
war, the Treasurer of the United States,
Gen. Francis Spinner, realized he could
pay women a lot less than men for the finger-blistering job of cutting the big sheets
of greenbacks that came off the press into
individual bills. Eager to earn a living,
female applicants deluged the Treasury;
later in his life, Spinner judged his greatest
achievement to be “introducing women to
employment in the offices of government.”
By the end of the war, female workers
could be found in every department, and
they stayed there once peace was at hand.
Women who rushed into the hospitals
and onto the battlefields to care for the
sick and wounded served as the vanguard
for a whole new field for females: nursing and medicine. Then there were those
who staged the enormous fundraisers for
the Sanitary Commission, which provided
supplies and nurses for the troops. Many
of those intrepid organizers went on to
found social service agencies, settlement
houses and lobbying organizations for the
destitute and downtrodden, particularly
the thousands of formerly enslaved elderly
and infirm people who had no way to fend
for themselves.
Lobbying efforts included a massive
petition drive that has been credited
with pushing Senate passage of the 13th
Amendment outlawing slavery. The
women who launched that undertaking
then used their newly acquired political
skills for the slow sludge toward equal
rights. And some of the same women,
plus many others, wrote about it -- some
as journalists, like Jane Swisshelm, and
others as propagandists, like Anna Ella
Carroll. Female orators also attracted
public attention; Anna Dickinson even
addressed a Joint Meeting of Congress.
Though their history has gone unheralded, the women who lived it were well
aware of the advances brought on by the
Civil War. One of them, American Red
Cross founder Clara Barton, claimed the
conflict had propelled woman into a position 50 years ahead of where “continued
peace would have assigned her.”
That’s something to celebrate during
this complex commemoration.

MASTERS, page 6

FAYETTEVILLE - Once
fighting to stay above .500
overall while floundering 1-5 in the SEC, the
Arkansas Razorbacks take
18-13 overall and 5-7 SEC
West records into their
three-game SEC series
with the Kentucky Wildcats
starting tonight at Baum
Stadium.
Kentucky, 18-13, 4-7 in
the SEC East, clash at 6:30
tonight, 6 p.m. Saturday
and noon Sunday.
“I definitely think we are
a better team than we were
three weeks ago and it has
to do with our pitching,”
Arkansas Coach Dave Van
Horn said Wednesday after
Arkansas completed a twoday nonconference sweep
at Baum over Mississippi
Valley State. “It is starting
to settle down a little bit.”
Arkansas has won 4 of
its last 6 SEC weekends
taking 2 of 3 two weeks ago
against Ole Miss at Baum
and last weekend taking
2 of 3 from the Auburn
Tigers in Auburn, Ala.
Other than a ninthinning meltdown last
Saturday at Auburn by
Arkansas reliever Jacob
Stone, hitting a batter with
the bases loaded for the
winning run of Auburn’s
3-2 victory, Arkansas’ pitching has been exceptional
lately including by Stone.
Stone came back
Tuesday and beat
Mississippi Valley with five
shutout innings in his first
ever start.
“Hopefully Stone can
continue to get better,” Van
Horn said. “We need him.
We need his experience
and obviously his talent.
We need him to get people
out at the end of the game
and if that doesn’t go good,
maybe we’ll start starting
him a little bit or let him go
early.”
Although a hard-luck
0-2 including a no-decision
despite throwing seven
perfect innings during the
season-opening SEC series
at currently No. 1 ranked
Vanderbilt, Trey Killian,
the junior right-hander
from Norfork via Mountain
Home High, has posted
four quality SEC starts
after missing all but one
early-season nonconference game with tendonitis.

Pine Bluff North third (74),
White Hall (72) and Sylvan
Hills (51) rounded out the
top five.
The Benton girls put up
four first-place finishes and
set a new school record
with Mya Moore’s pole
vault height of 7’0”, and a
second-place finish.
For the Benton boys, the
foursome of Kyler O’Brien,
Alan Elliot, Jake Hanley and
Hunter Harrison took first
in the 800-meter relay in a
dominating time of 9:23.91,
with second place NLR finishing in 9:48.96.
O’Brien put up another
first place when he won
the 800-meter run, edging
out teammate Harrison.
O’Brien finished in 2:19.36
with Harrison close behind
at 2:19.80. Jake Hanley
placed sixth.
Harrison would get a

Razorback Report
FAYETTEVILLE Arkansas’ new offensive
coordinator knows the old
Arkansas quarterback will
be his starting quarterback
next fall.
But who Dan Enos, and
of course Head Coach Bret
Bielema from the top, tab
to back up Razorbacks
fifth-year senior Brandon
Allen remains an ongoing
process from last Saturday’s
spring practice scrimmage
to Saturday’s 11 a.m. opento-the-public scrimmage and
beyond.
Enos said third-year
sophomore Austin Allen,
Brandon’s brother and
backup last year, redshirt
freshman Rafe Peavey and
January enrolled true freshman Ty Storey will get even
more opportunity Saturday at
Reynolds Razorback Stadium
than the previous Saturday.
“They are going to get
more plays,” Enos said of the
young quarterbacks’ upcoming Saturday scrimmage
after Thursday’s closed practice. “They are goIng to get
a bigger body of work. Last
scrimmage there were limit-
ed plays so they were in and
out a lot. I am probably going
to give them more plays in a
row and try to get them in a
rhythm before we substitute
them out. We’ll make the
reps pretty even but try and
give them more opportunity.”
Stressful opportunities.
“We have to keep putting
them in different situations
and see how they respond,”
Enos said after Thursday’s
closed practice. “I think all of
them need to play faster but
that’s typical of any young
quarterback.”
All the quarterbacks practice and scrimmage in green
jerseys alerting the defense
not to hit them.
That’s no problem for
Enos evaluating Brandon
Allen’s mobility and poise
under pressure since there
are two full seasons of his
starting quarterback game
film to see, but is it more
difficult to gauge the young
ones scrimmaging with
quick whistles?
“I don’t think so,” Enos
replied. “I think they get a
lot of different looks. I think
Coach (Bielema) is real
good about not blowing the
whistle too soon, so if a guy
gets up and moves, there
is an area they can take off
and run. Last Saturday at
the scrimmage actually all
four of them did really neat
things in the pocket, moving
subtly right or left and maintaining their eyes downfield
and making accurate, good
throws. I was very happy
with that. Coach has been
letting them play a little bit
and you can see their escapability at times. All of them
had a chance and all of them
have done good things.”
Even in a green jersey,
Peavey said everything
comes at him like he never
saw as a running high school
quarterback in Bolivar, Mo.
“The speed of the game,
it’s a whole lot quicker,”
Peavey said, laughing in
understatement. “The SEC is
a little bit quicker than high
school.”
However it doesn’t blur
at him this spring like last
spring’s drills when he was a
midterm high school graduate UA enrolled in January
like Storey did this January
straight out of Charleston
High.
“It is like night-and-day
honestly,” Peavey said. “Just
getting used to everything. I
am starting my third semes-
ter here so I am getting used
to school and that helps a
whole lot so I can just focus
on football now and not
worry about all that stuff.”
Austin Allen does have
the advantage of playing the
second half of last year’s
Ole Miss game, inheriting a
17-0 lead when Brandon was
injured and completing a 31-0
victory.
“I think it helped my confidence a lot,” Allen said. “Just
being out there and seeing
how fast you have to actually
go through the reads and
understand everything about
it.”
Austin Allen was 7 of 8 in
last Saturday’s scrimmage
and threw a 63-yard touchdown pass to Eric Hawkins,
and a touchdown pass to
Luke Rossi while quarterbacking the second offense
against the second defense.
“I feel like it has carried
over to this spring,” Austin
Allen said Thursday. “I feel
more confident in seeing the
defense and I understand
protections better.”
Though his brother’s
backup, Austin Allen said it’s
every backup quarterback’s
aspiration to be the starter.
“All the guys want to be
the starting quarterback,”
Austin Allen said. “That’s
the reason why they came
here. I mean, I still think of
him as my brother but you’re
always trying to be better
than someone else. You try
to work every day to try to
take his spot.”
Senior wide receiver
Keon Hatcher, the leading
returning wideout from 2014
expected to miss two weeks,
Bielema said last Saturday,
because of a deep knee
bruise last week, did some
limited work Thursday.
Junior Drew Morgan of
Greenwood with the first unit
and Eric Hawkins, the fourthjunior from Longview, Texas,
doubling as a sprinter for
Chris Bucknam’s Razorbacks
track team, especially stood
out in Hatcher’s absence last
Saturday.
“I had to step up in
the role because Keon
went down,” Morgan said
Thursday. “But he practiced
a little bit today. Obviously
he’s getting better.”
The Razorbacks take
today off and after Saturday’s
scrimmage have six of their
allotted 15 practice dates left
closing with the April 25 RedWhite intrasquad game.

Lauren Hill dies after fighting tumor to play college hoops
By Joe Kay
AP Writer
CINCINNATI — Lauren
Hill spent her final year
polishing a layup and
inspiring others to live
fully. She succeeded at
both as she fought an inoperable brain tumor.
The 19-year-old freshman basketball player
at Mount St. Joseph
University died at a hospital Friday morning, the
co-founder of her nonprofit foundation told The
Associated Press.
“Through Lauren’s
fundraising and advocacy efforts, she not only
became a spotlight on the
lack of funding for cancer
research, but she most certainly has become a beacon
guiding researchers for
years to come,” The Cure
Starts Now co-founder
Brooke Desserich said.
Hill wouldn’t let the
tumor dictate her final
days. Along the way, she
became known simply
as Lauren, someone who
knew how to make the
most of every day and who
had a knack for encourag-
Masters
From page 5
He never saw it smack into
the pin and settle a few feet
away. He only heard one of
the loudest cheers of the
afternoon.
“What happened?”
Spieth said to his caddie.
Something special.
With six birdies in a
seven-hole stretch, Spieth
flirted with a major championship record he didn’t
know existed and atoned
for his lone mistake with
one last birdie putt for an
8-under 64. It was the best
opening round at Augusta
National in 19 years, gave
him a three-shot lead and
stole plenty of buzz from
the Grand Slam bid of Rory
McIlroy and the return of
Tiger Woods.
“It’s one of the better
rounds I’ve ever played,”
he said.
That wasn’t the case for
McIlroy, though his round
wasn’t awful. The world’s
No. 1 player saved par four
times on the front nine and
ing others to do the same
by the way she persevered.
Her nonprofit foundation helped to raise more
than $1.5 million for cancer
research.
“She’s made an impact
on the world, more so than
me — more than I ever
will do,” her coach Dan
Benjamin said. “I’ve gotten
so many emails and phone
calls from all over the
world. People are contacting me because they want
to share her story.”
A year and a half ago,
Hill was just another high
school student getting
ready for college. She
decided to play basketball
at Mount St. Joseph, a
Division III school in suburban Cincinnati. Soccer
was her favorite sport, but
basketball became her selling point.
A few weeks later, she
started experiencing dizziness while playing for her
high school team in nearby
Lawrenceburg, Indiana.
Tests found the tumor.
Treatment didn’t work. She
knew she had less than two
years left.
While the tumor
squeezed her brain, Hill
squeezed back, holding
onto life as tightly as she
could.
“I’m spreading awareness and also teaching
people how to live in the
moment because the next
moment’s not promised,”
Hill told the AP after one of
her team’s 6 a.m. practices.
“Anything can happen at
any given moment. What
matters is right now.
“Especially after this
kind of diagnosis, your perspective on life and what
you value changes.”
For Hill, that meant
spending time with her
parents and a brother and
sister, going to college,
raising money for cancer
research, inspiring others,
and achieving her goal of
scoring a basket in a game.
A lot of people got
involved to make it happen.
The NCAA agreed to let
Mount St. Joseph move up
its opening game against
Hiram College by two
weeks because Hill’s condition was deteriorating.
Xavier University offered
its 10,000-seat arena so
more people could attend.
Tickets sold out in less
than an hour.
By the time the game
came around on Nov. 2, the
tumor had affected Hill’s
right side so much that
she had to shoot with her
non-dominant hand. With
Tennessee women’s coach
Pat Summitt and an impressive cast of WNBA players
on hand, Hill took a pass
and made a left-handed
layup only 17 seconds into
the game.
Tears. Goosebumps.
Applause.
She also made the last
basket of the game, returning for a right-handed
layup this time.
“It’s a dream come true,”
she said. “To play on a college court, to put my foot
down on the floor and hear
the roar of the crowd — I
just love it so much. I love
basketball.
“Everything that happened today was amazing.
I’m truly happy, it’s a really
good day.”
NCAA president Mark
Emmert said Hill achieved
a lasting and meaningful
legacy.
“Lauren Hill’s bravery,
enthusiasm and strength
were an inspiration not
only to those who knew
her best but also to the millions of people she touched
around the world by sharing her story,” Emmert
said.
After the game, things
got tougher. The spreading tumor caused her
to be sensitive to light,
sound and movement. She
couldn’t sleep well. She
tired quickly and needed
a wheelchair at times. She
had good days and bad
days.
Those close to her
watched her grit it out.
“Even though it’s sad,
her courage brings out
the best in people,” Mount
St. Joseph President Tony
Aretz said. “She’s living
with courage when a lot of
people are afraid to live.”
Hill played in four games
and made five layups
before the spreading tumor
made her give up playing.
When the season ended,
her team held its annual
dinner in a room at the
hospital where Hill was
being treated.
Hill hoped that raising
money would help others have a better chance
at beating cancer in the
future. Her Layup4Lauren
challenge and other fundraising activities brought in
donations worldwide.
The U.S. Basketball
Writers Association voted
her the Pat Summitt Most
Courageous Award, which
is normally awarded at the
Final Four. Athletes from
other colleges autographed
No. 22 jerseys — her number — and sent them in
support.
Hill befriended
Cincinnati Bengals defensive lineman Devon Still,
whose 4-year-old daughter,
Leah, is fighting cancer.
They exchanged jerseys,
and she attended a Bengals
game and met Leah.
As the cancer slowed her
down, her family, friends
and teammates took a bigger role in promoting her
fundraising campaign. And
she kept reminding everyone to appreciate life.
“Life is precious,” she
told WKRC-TV. “Every
moment you get with someone is a moment that’s
blessed, really blessed.”
scratched out a 71. Woods
had three birdies in his
round of 73, and while it
was the first time since
2007 that he shot over par
in the first round of the
Masters, it was looked
upon as progress. Most
peculiar about his first
round in two months was
that his short game saved
him.
But the day belonged to
Spieth, a 21-year-old Texan
who at least got into the
Masters record book as the
youngest to lead after the
first round.
An even more significant record was within his
reach, and he didn’t even
know it.
Spieth went to 8-under
with that birdie on the
14th hole, and then he
blistered a driver down
the fairway on the par-5
15th hole, just 228 yards to
the hole. That’s when he
started thinking about a 62
because he had never shot
10-under par as a pro.
But he hit hybrid over
the green and wound up
making bogey. Only later
did Spieth realize that 63
was the best score in any
major, and only two players
had done at the Masters —
Greg Norman in the first
round of 1996 and Nick
Price in the third round of
1986.
“So that’s a little frustrating,” he said before he
paused with a wry smile.
“But I’m certainly OK with
the day.”
It wasn’t that big of a
surprise.
Spieth shared the
54-hole lead last year
at Augusta with Bubba
Watson until a four-shot
swing over the last two
holes of the front nine as
Watson pulled away. Plus,
he might have been the
hottest player coming into
this Masters.
In his last three events,
he won, finished second
and lost in a playoff. The
biggest challenge he faced
was to keep his expectations from growing taller
than a Georgia pine, and
to make sure he was well
rested.
Whatever the formula, it
worked.
“What a player,” Ernie
Els said after a 67, his
best score at the Masters
since Phil Mickelson beat
him with a birdie on the
last hole in 2004. “You just
cannot see this kid not
win many, many majors. I
think he is by far the most
balanced kid I’ve seen.
Jordan, he’s got that little
tenacity to him and he’s
really got a fighting spirit,
and he’s the nicest kid in
the world. ... He’s a special
kid.”
Els played the par 5s in
5-under and briefly had the
lead until Spieth went on
his birdie spree.
Els was tied for second
with Jason Day, Justin
Rose and Charley Hoffman.
Hoffman finished with an
eagle and two birdies over
his last four holes.
Day looked to be the
most dangerous. Twice
a contender at Augusta
in the last four years, he
made five straight birdies on the back nine until
he lost momentum with a
bogey from the bunker on
the 17th. Still, three shots
behind after one round
wasn’t a bad place to me.
McIlroy has more work.
Coming off successive
major victories to close out
last year, McIlroy needs
only a green jacket to
become the sixth player
with the career Grand
Slam. He has never started
a Masters with this much
historic significance in
play, or this much attention.
McIlroy smashed his
opening drive right down
the middle, The rest of his
game was a bit off.
He hooked a drive into
the hazard on the par-5
second and had to scramble for par. He stubbed a
chip short of the green on
the 350-yard third hole and
had to fight for another
par. McIlroy picked up two
birdies on the par 5s on
the back nine to salvage
his start.
“It could have been a
round that got away from
me,” McIlroy said. “I just
stayed patient, realizing
that it’s a 72-hole tournament. It was good to get
into red numbers.”
That wasn’t that difficult to achieve on a day of
soft conditions that made
even the tough pin positions a little more accessible. Thirty players in the
97-man field broke par.
Woods wasn’t one of
them.
He opened with a threeputt bogey from about
40 feet. He had one bad
adventure on the ninth
and escaped with bogey.
But there was not a sign
of struggle from his short
game, except for a bunker
shot on the par-3 fourth
hole that went over the
green.
Most telling was early
on the back nine. Woods
saved par from the bunker
right of the green on No.
10. Facing one of the scariest shots on the course, he
pitched beautifully to save
par on the 11th. And after
a tee shot into the water
on No. 12, his wedge to 2
feet allowed him to make
bogey.
“It’s my strength again,”
Woods said.
But he was nine shots
behind, and that was going
to take a strong effort to
overcome.

Bryant drama department to present Les Miz play
By Sarah Perry
[email protected]
The Bryant High School
Drama department will
present the student version
of Les Miserables called
Les Miz from April 16 to
19.
The production is
directed by Jeremy Clay
and includes more than 60
students.
The Victor Hugo play is
a story of love and redemption, said Devin Sherrill,
Bryant Schools communications director.
“This powerful show
inspires and moves audiences as Hugo’s unforgettable, Jean Valjean,
struggles to bring light and
hope to the complex and
dark world of the French
Revolution,” Sherrill said.
“The show is set in early
19th century France. It
is the story of Valjean, a
French peasant, and his
quest for redemption after
serving 19 years in prison
for having stolen a loaf of
bread for his sister’s starving child.”
Even though the play
is set in a desperate time,
“the music is uplifting and
inspires hope, perseverance and love,” she said.
When the play first
opened in 1987, it received
eight Tony Awards including best musical, best
original musical score, best
actor, best actress and best
director.
Performances will take
place at 7 p.m. on April
16, 17 and 18 in Love
Auditorium.
A 2 p.m. matinee will
take place on April 19.
Tickets are $8 at the box
office with general admission seating, Sherrill said.

Bryant Mayor Jill Dabbs
recently recognized volunteers with the Retired Senior
Volunteers Program of Central
Arkansas by proclaiming
April 7 “National Service
Recognition Day” in Bryant.
“AmeriCorps and Senior
Corps participants address
the most pressing challenges
facing our communities, from
educating students for the jobs
of the 21st century and supporting veterans and military
families to providing heath
services and helping communities recover from natural
disasters and national service
expands economic opportunity by creating sustainable,
resilient communities and providing education career skills
and leadership abilities for
those who serve,” according
to the proclamation. “Service
to others is a hallmark of
the American character and
central to how we meet our
challenges and the nation’s
cities are increasingly turning
to national service and volunteerism as a cost-effective
strategy to meet city and
county needs.”
Volunteers from RSVP

different volunteer projects.
Jim Barnes, a veteran, said
he served on the U.S.S.
Razorback and he likes to

Cops: Man shoots Census Bureau
guard, leads police on chase
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A
man kidnapped a woman,
fatally shot a Census
Bureau guard and led
police on a car chase
through Maryland and
Washington, before authorities cornered him in an
exchange of gunfire that
left the suspect and a police
officer wounded, authorities said.
The guard, identified as
Lawrence Buckner, died at
Prince George’s Hospital
Center after Thursday
evening’s chase and shooting, said Erika Murray, a
spokeswoman for the hospital in Cheverly, Maryland.
She did not give Buckner’s
age.
Buckner was a contractor, working for the federal
government through the
Hunt Valley, Marylandbased company Master
Security, according to a
Homeland Security statement released Friday.
The woman who was
allegedly kidnapped was
found safe, police said in a
news release.
The normally bustling H street corridor in
Washington’s northeast
— where the chase ended
—remained closed during
rush hour Friday morning as police continued
their investigation there.
Local television showed
yellow police tape still
strung across one of the
Census Bureau gates in the
Maryland suburbs early
Friday.
The Census Bureau
headquarters was opening two hours late Friday
morning, and workers were
allowed to take unscheduled leave or to telework.
Workers who had to
shelter in place after the
shooting Thursday night
were granted excused
absences.
The shooting was not
terrorism-related, FBI
Baltimore spokeswoman
Amy J. Thoreson told The
Associated Press in an

“We believe this was
domestic-related,” D.C.
Police Chief Cathy Lanier
said.
The officer and suspect
were both conscious when
they were taken for medical
care, Lanier said at a news
conference.
There was no immediate
update early Friday on their
condition, and identities
had not been made public.
Lanier said a guard at
a gate of the U.S. Census
Bureau in Suitland,
Maryland, saw two people
fighting in a car that
matched the description
of a vehicle described in a
report of an armed kidnapping about six miles away
in northeast Washington.
When the guard
approached the car, the
man shot him and took off,
crossing the border into
the nation’s capital and firing at D.C. police who had
begun to chase him, Lanier
said.
He fired again at them
during the chase before
police blocked him and collided with his car, Lanier
said. Cornered, the suspect opened fire again and
police shot back.
During the exchange of
gunfire, both the suspect
and an officer were wounded, she said.
“We have every reason
to believe that the car we
have ... is the same car
involved” in the kidnapping, the shooting at the
Census Bureau, and the
shooting at police, Lanier
said.

THE DAY OF THE SALE
vertise
•Have everything set up and ready to go the night before or plan on
getting up early to set up.
•Hang up signs (the one the Courier supplies), so people know where
the sale is at. Be sure to obey city ordinances when putting your signs
up.
•Arrange a convenient location to oversee your sale and for your
checkout table. Never leave your cash box unattended!!
•You may need batteries or an outlet for electrical items to be
tried. An extension cord is handy.
•Be ready to barter: garage sale goers are looking for bargains
and barter they will. Remember, do you want it to sell or do
you want to store it again? If you see that some items are
not selling - mark them down. Remember the object of the
sale is to turn unwanted items into cash.

TIME
AFTER THE SALE
•Take down your signs immediately after your sale and keep Saline County beautiful!
•If you have items left, either combine them with another friend who is having a sale later. Have a sale later on in the year, nearer to
fall or use the coupon below to sell those items.
•If you are moving and you are not planning on having another sale, you can donate your left over items to the non-profit agencies
such as Habitat for Humanity, Helping Hands, the Civitan Center, etc. Some agencies will even pick your left over items up at your
home.
•Count up your profit, enjoy your clean garage or the extra space you made!!!
•RAIN CHECK - If Mother Nature rains or snows during the day of your sale, the Courier will run your ad the following weekend for
the same amount of days that you paid for FREE OF CHARGE!

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!
