Josh Avance, an Aspirnaut
student and 2012 graduate of
Poyen High School was recently
awarded a full scholarship to
Berea College in Berea, Ky.
Avance was accepted to Berea
in January, and plans to major in
Biology. His goal is to become a
teacher or a professor.
“I am very excited about getting
to go to college at Berea. It is a
great opportunity,” said Avance.
Berea College was founded
in 1855 as the first interracial
and coeducational college in the
South. Today, Berea is ranked
among the top liberal arts colleges in the US. Berea admits
only academically promising
students and funds their tuition
cost of over $23,000 per year.
In November of 2011, Avance
received the Berea College Pinnacle Scholar Award of Excellence, an award that is given
to only 125 applicants from
over 500 entries throughout
the United States. Avance was
honored at an award ceremony
in November at Berea.

creativity in his contributions
to his assigned project. He also
communicated complex concepts very well to groups and
showed in-depth understanding of the science.” said Julie
Hudson, Executive Director of
AspirnautTM.
Avance also participated in the
Aspirnaut Summer Research Internship Program and the National
Institute of Diabetes and Digestive
and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)’s
STEP-UP programs. Under the
sponsorship of these programs he
conducted research on diabetic
kidney disease at Vanderbilt University Medical School.

mentor, Dr. Billy Hudson,
Professor of Medicine.

has also mentored Poyen elementary and middle school students in
science in an after-school portion
of the Aspirnaut program in which
science labs are “beamed” to students from Vanderbilt.

Reader says thank you to
emergency responders
Dear Editor:
On July 4, 2012, we had the scare of our life. Never before have
we witnessed a widespread fire so close to our property.
It all began over off the Willow Road. It is supposed that the
fire began when a piece of glass lying in a pasture was ignited by
the torrid sun. In just minutes it was a wildfire. It spread to Hwy.
9, jumped the road and began burning along Hwy. 46.
Thank God, it was finally suppressed by the combination of nine
volunteer fire departments from Dallas, Grant, and Hot Spring
counties; the Arkansas National Guard; the Arkansas Forestry
Department; and aided by the sheriff deputies, from as many
counties, who directed traffic away from this inferno.
We want to say “thank you” for all these civil servants. Their
bravery and dedication to saving property and human lives
humbles us. We will never take them for granted again.
