Twelve women were honored Saturday at the Outstanding Women of Distinction of South-ern Arkansas, Inc.’s 8th Annual Gala Recognition Banquet and Ball. However, two of the high-lights of the evening involved the recognition of two area men who have made great contributions to OWOD, its members, and to the community.

The gala was held at the Charles O. Ross Center and was co-spon-sored by SAU Tech. A near-ca-pacity crowd attended the event, with proceeds going to help civic causes in the community and for scholarships to area seniors.

The local group was founded in 2006 by JoEtta Foreman and Mary Bennett after the women not only recognized the problem of growing drop-out rate among school students in the area, but decided to do something about it. To date, OWOD has raised more than $46,000 to help the commu-nity, members are reporting.

Judy Smith, one of the OWOD members who introduced speak-ers Saturday night, remarked that the raising of that amount of mon-ey by “a group of African-Ameri-can women is phenomenal.”

The emcee for the banquet was Channel 7 News Reporter Kathe-rina-Marie Yancy. She has worked

in the Little Rock market since 2006, specializing in the growing field of multi-media journalism, according to OWOD.

Yancy was introduced by Smith, who shared that she has known Yancy since Yancy was a teenag-er and has watched her grow as a strong woman and an award-win-ning journalist.

Yancy’s mother, Maura-Lozano Yancy, was also in attendance at the banquet. Yancy remarked that she was proud to be a part of the evening and stated that she ad-mired the program and the wom-en who were being honored.

At the gala, women were induct-ed into the Outstanding Women of Distinction of Southern Arkan-sas, Inc. They were: Lillie Beard - Religion; Minerva Daniels - En-tertainment; and Janice White - Education.

Legends of OWOD who passed away recently and were honored at the banquet were:

• Thomasyne Adams - The Arts. She was a music teacher at Lincoln High School and contrib-uted to the lives of many students there.

• Gloria Barnes - Religion. Barnes was described as a phe-nomenal woman who “helped a lot of people.” She worked for many years at the Housing Au-thority of the City of Camden.

Women’s Crisis Centerhas to cancel

‘Walk Against Violence’By JENNIFER SHERIDANStaff Writer

In lieu of making up for the recently “rained out” Domestic Violence Awareness walk on Sat-urday, the Women’s Crisis Center of South Arkansas will be sup-porting two other events in the county, according to Wendy Du-mas, director of the local center.

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness month, and the Women’s Crisis Center had planned a walk to support and raise awareness of domestic vio-lence victims, Dumas said.

The 8th annual walk was sched-uled to be held on Saturday but due to rain, it was canceled. Du-mas said 30 people showed up to participate in the event even though it was raining.

She told the Camden News that the event will not be resched-uled because “there’s not enough time,” and stated there are still two more events to raise aware-ness.

Participants who were unable to show up for the event may pick up their T-shirts at the crisis cen-ter office, Dumas added.

The next event will be a “Pray for Peace” fall festival held in Bearden at the town’s gazebo.

Dumas said the event will fea-ture a duck pull to raise money. The event will be co-sponsored by the crisis center and Recon-ciled Hearts Ministry, a church seeking to help people reconcile with God.

She also stated that the crisis See WCC, Page 5

Stephens school board told this is district’s last yearBY PATRIC FLANNIGANStaff Writer

The Commissioner of the Arkansas Board of Education told the Stephens School Board on Monday that, make no mistake about it, “this is a transition year for the Stephens School district,” and that they can voluntarily or involuntarily con-solidate with another school district.

Dr. Tom Kimbrell paid a visit to the Ste-phens School Board on Monday to discuss the options that the district has after fall-

ing under the state’s enrollment numbers for the third year in a row.

The board will have until March 1 to make the decision of whether they would like to consolidate with the Nevada School district, another school district, or split their Stephens district and allow school choice where the parents could send their children to the Camden, Magnolia, or Ne-vada school districts, Kimbrell said.

He also talked about the finances the state would provide the district if they

were to consolidate with Nevada. Kimbrell informed the crowd that there is nothing that can be done to prevent Stephens from consolidation and annexation.

“We’ve (members of the Board of Edu-cation) received letters, emails, and phone calls stating that the district is doing all it can to get the enrollment numbers to 350 (to prevent consolidation),” Kimbrell said. “That (remaining open without consolida-tion) is not an option now. The law doesn’t allow it.”

Stephens School Board member Maurice Porchia asked Kimbrell for clarification. “So as we’re standing now, this local board has full control of what happens to this district?”

Kimbrell responded by saying “Yes. You have the option of looking for a partner to have voluntary consolidation and annexa-tion. Up until March 1. After March 1, it be-comes an issue for the state board.”

Kimbrell then said he would be moreSee STEPHENS, Page 5

Remains discovered in ditch in Boone County

HARRISON (AP) — Authorities are investigating after human remains were discovered in a ditch in Boone County.

Sheriff Mike Moore says the re-mains were discovered Sunday. The sheriff says his office is working with the Newton County Sheriff ’s Office and Arkansas State Police to identify the remains and determine a cause of death.

Moore says the remains appear to belong to a white male. An initial in-vestigation shows that the man had died a few days before his body was discovered.

The sheriff says investigators don’t yet know whether foul play is involved. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Boone County Sheriff ’s Office.

State legislators gauge support on insurance fix

LITTLE ROCK (AP) — Legislative leaders say they don’t know yet if there’s enough support to pass a pack-age of bills aimed at lowering insur-ance rate hikes for thousands of Ar-kansas teachers.

The chairmen of the House and Sen-ate Education committees said they’re still counting votes to see if the bills could pass. Gov. Mike Beebe has said he won’t call a special session unless there’s support to pass the bills.

The proposals call for using $43 mil-lion from the state surplus this year and redirecting state money in subsequent years to reduce the premium hikes to 10 percent. It also calls for structural changes to the insurance program.

Results from audit done is given to prosecutors

ASHDOWN (AP) — Results from an audit of the Little River County Rural Development Authority have been turned over to a prosecutor.

The agency’s offices were destroyed by a fire last October and investiga-tors discovered that three computers

containing customer information and financial data were stolen before the blaze. Investigators said the fire was set deliberately.

An audit revealed “questionable dis-bursements,” according to the Texar-kana Gazette.

Auditors said they couldn’t verify the validity of some overtime payments, some checks made out to employees and payments made to a pawn shop, a tanning parlor and a community col-lege.

The agency supplies water to the western Little River County. Its board recently fired a manager and accepted a bookkeeper’s resignation. Both have been accused of failing to pay state in-come taxes.

Pryor raises $1 million for his re-election bid

LITTLE ROCK (AP) — U.S. Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas has raised more than $1 million over the past three months as he prepares for a heated and expensive re-election fight against Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Cot-ton next year.

The Democratic lawmaker’s cam-paign said today it has $4.4 million in the bank for next year’s election. Pryor is seeking a third term against Cotton, a first-term lawmaker who announced in August he was challenging Pryor.

Pryor is widely viewed by Republi-cans as the most vulnerable Senate in-cumbent seeking re-election next year. He and Cotton and outside groups have been in the middle of an expen-sive television ad war more than a year before the general election.

Lawmakers to discuss school funding issues

LITTLE ROCK (AP) — Arkansas lawmakers are set to discuss a state Supreme Court ruling that revives a lawsuit challenging the way the state funds education.

The House and Senate Education committees planned to meet jointly today to discuss school funding issues such as transportation and school fa-cilities. Attorney General Dustin Mc-

Daniel and Senior Assistant Attorney General Scott Richardson were sched-uled to discuss pending litigation that could affect educational adequacy.

The hearing comes days after the state Supreme Court revived part of a lawsuit by the Deer/Mount Judea school district that claims the state has not complied with laws that were enacted to end the long-running Lake View School funding case. Justices ruled the lawsuit raised new issues that have emerged since the Lake View case ended in 2007.

Receipts not printing at Little Rock parking units

LITTLE ROCK (AP) — The city of Little Rock isn’t issuing tickets in the River Market area due to a software glitch that has kept payment receipts from printing.

The city says in a news release that the pay and display parking units in the River Market aren’t printing pay-ment receipts. The manufacturer is sending a team to fix the problem.

Parking Enforcement Administrator Jack Wrenn says that until then, the parking units have been turned off. Therefore, he says Parking Enforce-ment is not issuing citations for people who fail to display a receipt. Wrenn says the issue should be fixed by the middle of the week.

Biologist set to discuss the plants at state park

ROGERS (AP) — A senior biolo-gist for the Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission plans to speak about the rare plants and habitats of Northwest Arkansas at Hobbs State Park.

Theo Witsell has been the senior botanist for the Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission since 2000. He serves as the technical editor for the Arkansas Native Plant Society and is a regional reviewer for the Flora of North America Project.

Witsell’s favorite research interests include the ecology and conservation of rare plants and their habitats, and the restoration of degraded ecosys-tems.

Sebastian County deputies patrol Fort Chaffee during shutdown

FORT SMITH (AP) — Deputies from Sebastian County have begun patrols at Fort Chaffee, where many fire and police workers are furloughed because of the partial government shut-down.

The Sebastian County Sheriff ’s Office said it was notified Friday night that many of Fort Chaffee’s fire and police personnel would be furloughed. Spokesman Philip Pevehouse told the

Southwest Times Record that Sebastian County al-ready receives Fort Chaffee’s 911 calls, but now deputies will be making regular pa-trols.

“We’re going to be perform-ing some proactive patrols,” Pevehouse said. “We’re not just going to wait for calls; we’re going to perform nor-mal patrol functions.”

Fort Chaffee is located outside of Fort Smith and is used for training by the Ar-

kansas National Guard.Fort Chaffee normally has

21 workers in its public safe-ty office but is down to nine because of the shutdown, said Maj. Matt Snead, public affairs officer for the Arkan-sas National Guard.

“We are very limited, but we are not shut down,” he said. “We are dependent on the mutual aid agreements we have with the local fire departments, and we ap-preciate what the Sebastian

County Sheriff ’s Office is doing.”

Snead said Fort Chaffee’s remaining employees are pitching in to ensure that the facility remains safe.

“A lieutenant colonel from Harrison worked the gate voluntarily because it need-ed to be done,” Snead said. “Instead of going home to his family in Harrison, he stayed at Fort Chaffee to guard the gate.”

U.S. & World News DigestStudent punished for aiding drunken friend

NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts high school senior has lost her volleyball team captaincy and been suspended for five games for what she says was an effort to help a drunken friend.

North Andover High School’s Erin Cox says she got a call two weeks ago from a friend at a party who said she was too drunk to drive.

Cox, trying to do the right thing, went to pick up her friend. She got to the party, but so did police.

Police confirm Cox was not drink-ing, but school officials punished her for violating a no tolerance pol-icy for drugs and alcohol.

Erin’s mother, Eleanor Cox, tells WBZ-TV her daughter “did what she thought was right.”

The family has hired a lawyer.

Second dry ice explosion reported at LA airport

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A dry ice explosion rattled nerves late Mon-day at Los Angeles International Airport in the second such incident in as many days, but there were no reports of any injuries or evacua-tions, authorities said.

The incident was reported shortly

before 8:30 p.m. at the airport’s Tom Bradley International Terminal. The dry ice was found near a gate area, a secure part of LAX only accessible to airport workers, according to the Los Angeles Times. There were no reports of significant damage.

Two other devices also were found at the airport but they did not explode, Detective Gus Villanueva said.

Investigators don’t believe the in-cident is linked to terrorism and no threat was called into the airport, Villanueva said. No flights were af-fected by the explosion, authorities said.

On Sunday night, someone plant-ed a plastic bottle containing dry ice that exploded in an employee bathroom in LAX’s terminal 2, a secure area inaccessible to the pub-lic. Up to four flights were delayed after airport police halted security screening for more than an hour.

No arrests have been made in ei-ther case. A bomb squad was at the airport late Monday and investiga-tors from the LAPD’s criminal con-spiracy division were assisting, Vil-lanueva said.

U.S. stocks fall while investors wait on news

NEW YORK (AP) - There’s deal

talk in Washington. On Wall Street, it’s wait-and-see.

The stock market edged lower early today even though Republi-can and Democratic leaders in the Senate reported that a deal over the nation’s borrowing limit appears to be getting closer.

Unless the borrowing limit is raised, the U.S. will bump up against a Thursday deadline that could lead to a default on government debt. That possibility has rattled markets all month.

There was reason for Wall Street to be pessimistic. For one, it wasn’t clear whether House Republicans will go along with whatever the Senate works out. Also, any deal reached this week might simply set up another showdown a few months down the road.

Half an hour after trading began, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 40 points, or 0.3 percent, at 15,261. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index was down four points, or 0.3 percent, at 1,706. The Nasdaq com-posite was flat at 3,815.

All 10 industry groups in the S&P 500 fell, with the biggest declines in consumer discretionary and finan-cial stocks.

Citigroup fell after it reported a smaller profit because of a drop in

its bond business, investment bank-ing and mortgage refinances. The stock was down 39 cents at $49.19.

Johnson & Johnson rose $1.13, or 1 percent, to $90.93 after reporting a bigger third-quarter profit and raising its earnings forecast for the year.

The yield on the 10-year T-note rose slightly to almost 2.70 percent. Bond trading was closed Monday for Columbus Day.

Ohio teen pleads guilty in killings of 2 brothers

OTTAWA, Ohio (AP) — An 18-year-old man has pleaded guilty in the slayings of two teen brothers in northwest Ohio.

Michael Fay pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated murder this morning in Putnam County.

He faces up to life in prison in the May 9 slayings of 14-year-old Blaine Romes and his 17-year-old brother, Blake Romes. Fay is due to be sen-tenced next month.

Prosecutors say Fay killed the brothers at the Ottawa mobile home he and his mother were sharing with the brothers and their mother.

The brothers were found dead af-ter Fay was arrested in Columbus and pointed officers to them.

Arrests made in death of bullied girlWINTER HAVEN, Fla. (AP) — Two girls have

been arrested in the death of a 12-year-old cen-tral Florida girl who authorities say committed suicide after being bulled online by several girls for nearly a year, a sheriff said today.

The girls are 12 and 14, and they have been charged with felony aggravated stalking, accord-ing to the Polk County Sheriff ’s Office.

Sheriff Grady Judd scheduled a news confer-ence this morning in Winter Haven regarding the arrests.

Authorities have said Rebecca Sedwick was

“terrorized” by as many as 15 girls who ganged up on her and picked on her for months through online message boards and texts. Some of the girls’ computers and cellphones were seized in the investigation.

On Sept. 9, authorities say, Rebecca climbed a tower at an abandoned concrete plant and hurled herself to her death.

The bullying began over a “boyfriend issue,” and Rebecca had become depressed, Judd has said.

After the suicide, police looked at the girl’s

computer and found search queries for topics including “what is overweight for a 13-year-old girl,” “how to get blades out of razors” and “how many over-the-counter drugs do you take to die.” One of her screensavers also showed Rebecca with her head resting on a railroad track.

Florida has a bullying law named after Jeffrey Johnston, a teenager who killed himself after be-ing harassed by classmates. Amended July 1 to cover cyberbullying, the law leaves punishment to schools, though law enforcement also can seek more traditional charges.

Public access barred at demolitionNEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — Con-

tractors demolishing Sandy Hook El-ementary School are being required to sign confidentiality agreements forbidding public discussion of the site, photographs or disclosure of any information about the building where 26 people were fatally shot last December.

Selectman Will Rodgers said of-ficials want to protect the New-town school where the 20 children and six educators were killed, The News-Times reported.

“It’s a very sensitive topic,” he said

Monday. “We want it to be handled in a respectful way.”

Project manager Consigli Con-struction has barricaded the prop-erty and intends to screen the pe-rimeter to prevent onlookers from taking photographs. Full-time secu-rity guards will ensure the site is not disturbed.

Families of the victims and school staff visited the site, but public ac-cess is barred.

The precautions exceed those at other construction sites, town offi-cials said.

Jim Juliano, a member of the Pub-lic Building and Site Commission, said he initially considered whether the heightened precautions might be excessive. But he believes extra vigilance is needed to shield Sandy Hook families and the community from exploitation.

Rodgers said the goal is to ensure the project is managed properly without interference from onlook-ers or the infliction of more pain on the community.

“Obviously, workers need access to the site, but inasmuch as we have

put restrictions on our citizens, we don’t really want those who are there somehow releasing informa-tion or recounting impressions of the site, given we are trying to move on, so to speak,” Rodgers said.

Demolition is set to begin next week and be finished before the Dec. 14 anniversary of the shootings. A new school is expected to open by December 2016. Town voters last month accepted a state grant of $49.3 million to demolish the school and build a new one.

House unveils bill to counter Senate debt planWASHINGTON (AP)

— House GOP leaders un-veiled their own plan to-day to counter an emerging Senate deal to reopen the government and forestall an economy-rattling default on U.S. obligations.

Top Republicans unveiled a plan that would suspend a new tax on medical devices for two years and take away the federal government’s contributions to lawmakers’ and top administration offi-cials in addition to funding the government through Jan. 15 and giving Treasury the ability to borrow normally through Feb. 7.

The move came as a partial shutdown entered its third week and less than two days before the Treasury Depart-ment says it will be unable to borrow and will rely on a this cash cushion to pay the country’s bills.

Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said Republicans plan to pass the measure later today. It could prove tricky because Democrats probably won’t support it. The House GOP plan wouldn’t win nearly as many concessions from President Barack Obama as Republicans had sought but it would set up another battle with the White House early next year.

The House move comes af-ter conservative lawmakers rebelled at the outlines of an emerging Senate plan by Ma-jority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and GOP leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. Those two hoped to seal an agreement, just two days before the Treasury Depart-ment says it will run out of borrowing capacity.

Like the House GOP bill, the emerging Senate mea-sure — though not final-ized — would reopen the government through Jan. 15 and permit the Treasury to borrow normally until early to mid-February, easing dual crises that have sapped con-fidence in the economy and taken a sledgehammer to the GOP’s poll numbers.

“There are productive ne-gotiations going on with the Republican leader,” Reid said as he opened the Senate

today. “I’m confident we’ll be able to reach a comprehen-sive agreement this week in time to avert a catastrophic default.”

Obama telephoned Mc-Connell on Monday to talk about the emerging deal, a McConnell aide said. Con-gressional leaders had been scheduled to meet with Obama at the White House on Monday, but the meet-ing was postponed to allow more time for negotiations.

On Wall Street, stocks were mixed early today, with in-vestors somewhat optimistic over a potential deal.

Sen. Mark Pryor, an Arkan-sas Democrat who was part of the bipartisan group known as the Gang of 12 which la-bored over the weekend to end the stalemate, said today he was “pretty confident” the Senate leadership and the White House would an-nounce an agreement some time later in the day.

Speaking of the House, Pryor told CNN that “some Republicans are, quite hon-estly, they’re acting childish about this. They almost want a shutdown. They almost want to see us break the debt ceiling.”

“We’re willing to get the government open. We want to get the government open,” Scalise said. “Hopefully they get something done that ad-dresses the spending issue.”

The competing House and Senate plans are a far cry from the assault on “Obam-acare” that tea party Republi-cans originally demanded as a condition for a short-term funding bill to keep the gov-ernment fully operational. It lacks the budget cuts de-manded by Republicans in exchange for increasing the government’s $16.7 trillion borrowing cap.

Nor do either the House or Senate frameworks con-tain any of a secondary set of House GOP demands, like a one-year delay in the health law’s mandate that individu-als buy insurance.

Another difference be-tween the House and Senate involves a Democratic move to repeal a $63 fee that com-panies must pay for each per-

son they cover under the big health care overhaul begin-ning in 2014. Unions oppose the fee and Senate Demo-crats are pressing to repeal it, but House Republicans are positioning to block them.

Democrats were standing against a GOP-backed pro-posal to suspend a medical device tax that was enacted as part of the health care law, but might not be able to win a floor vote since many Dem-ocrats oppose the tax too.

Democratic and Repub-lican aides described the outlines of the potential agreement on condition of anonymity because the dis-cussions were ongoing.

But with GOP poll num-bers plummeting and the country growing weary of a shutdown entering its third week, Senate Republicans in particular were eager to end the shutdown — and avoid an even greater crisis if the government were to default later this month.

Any legislation backed

by both Reid and McCon-nell can be expected to sail through the Senate, though any individual senators could delay it.

But it’s another story in the House, where it wasn’t winning a lot of fans among conservatives.

Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, signaled that conservative members of the House were deeply skeptical. He said any bill had to have serious spending cuts for him to vote to raise the debt ceiling and said he thought Obama and Treasury Secretary Jack Lew had more flexibility than they had said publicly.

“No deal is better than a bad deal,” Barton said.

Asked whether the emerg-ing package contained any victories for Republicans, Rep. James Lankford, R-Okla., a member of the House GOP leadership, said, “Not that I’ve seen so far, no.”

In addition to approv-ing legislation to fund the

government until late this year and avert a possible debt crisis later this week or month, the potential pact would set up broader bud-get negotiations between the GOP-controlled House and Democratic-led Sen-ate. One goal of those talks would be to ease automatic spending cuts that began in March and could deepen in January, when about $20 bil-lion in further cuts are set to slam the Pentagon.

Democrats also were seek-ing to preserve the Treasury Department’s ability to use extraordinary accounting measures to buy additional time after the government reaches any extended debt ceiling. Such measures have permitted Treasury to avert a default for almost five months since the gov-ernment officially hit the debt limit in mid-May, but wouldn’t buy anywhere near that kind of time next year, experts said.

Budget battle previews Senate race

Today in HistoryBy the Associated PressToday is Tuesday, Oct. 15, the 288th day of 2013. There

are 77 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History:On Oct. 15, 1917, Dutch dancer Mata Hari, convicted of

spying for the Germans, was executed by a French firing squad outside Paris.

Ten years ago: Eleven people were killed when a Staten Island ferry slammed into a maintenance pier. (The ferry’s pilot, who’d blacked out at the controls, later pleaded guilty to 11 counts of manslaughter.) Doctors in Florida removed the feeding tube of Terri Schiavo), a severely brain-damaged woman at the center of a right-to-die battle. (The tube was reinserted, then removed again, as the legal battle played out, ending with Schiavo’s death in March 2005.) An explo-sion ripped apart a U.S. diplomatic vehicle in the Gaza Strip, killing three Americans. China launched its first manned space mission. The Florida Marlins won the National League championship with a 9-6 victory over the Chicago Cubs in Game 7.

Five years ago: Republican John McCain repeatedly as-sailed Democrat Barack Obama’s character and campaign positions on taxes, abortion and more in a debate at Hofstra University; Obama parried each accusation, and leveled a few of his own, saying “100 percent” of McCain’s campaign ads were negative. The Philadelphia Phillies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 to win the NL championship series 4-1 for its first pennant since 1993. Pop star Madonna and movie director Guy Ritchie announced they were divorcing after nearly eight years of marriage. Actress-singer Edie Ad-ams died in Los Angeles at age 81. Longtime game show host Jack Narz died in Los Angeles at age 85.

One year ago: In interviews with CNN and Fox News, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton took responsi-bility for security at the U.S. consulate in Libya, where the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed in a Sept. 11, 2012, attack. The San Francisco Giants evened the National League Championship series 1-1 with a 7-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.

Today’s Birthdays: Former auto executive Lee Iacocca is 89. Rock musician Don Stevenson (Moby Grape) is 71. Ac-tress-director Penny Marshall is 70. Baseball Hall of Famer Jim Palmer is 68. Singer Tito Jackson is 60. Actor-comedian Larry Miller is 60. Britain’s Duchess of York, Sarah Fergu-son, is 54. Chef Emeril Lagasse is 54. Actor Vincent Martel-la (“Everybody Hates Chris”) is 21. Actress Bailee Madison (“Trophy Wife”) is 14.

Answers offered about mulesMost pet owners with a fenced

back yard typically own barking dogs that receive the best of care. If the chromosome mix of the dogs is right, these dogs will reproduce.

My friend Slim keeps three pets, a male and two females, in his fenced back yard. His pets also receive the best — room, board, health, affection, you name it. What’s different in Slim’s case is that his pets don’t bark, each of them can be ridden, and — unless Slim adds a horse or a donkey — the likelihood that Slim’s pets will reproduce is either slim or none. (Which is it, slim, or none? We’ll see.)

Slim’s preferred pet is an animal that begs many questions. What is a mule? What is needed to create a mule? What is so desirable about a mule? Can a mule reproduce? (We know the answers if these questions were about dogs.)

“Mule” is the offspring of a female horse (mare) and a male donkey (jack), with the understanding that two other definitions exist: Any hy-brid between the horse and the donkey (aka burro or ass) — and — any sterile hybrid.

A hinny is also called a mule, but a hinny is the offspring of male horse (stallion) and a female don-key (jenny or jennet). Let’s come up with an easy memory aid: mare + jack = mule; stallion + jenny = hinny. Mules and hinnies are either male or female. In the rest of this letter, we will refer to both mules and hinnies as mules unless un-derlined.

The answer to our first question answers the second question. We must have a horse and a donkey to get a mule.

Why doesn’t nature just give us mules so than man does not have to horse around and breed mules? Animals rarely choose a mate from different species. Because a horse and a donkey are differ-ent species, less than 1 in a 1,000 individual mules will occur even if horses and donkeys live in the same area.

George Washington, an en-

lightened agriculturalist, was in-strumental in getting the qual-ity donkeys needed to begin our country’s mule population. The King of Spain gave Washington a unique gift — two jacks and two jennies — unique, because the Spanish government otherwise forbade foreign acquisition of their Andalusian and Catalan donkeys. (By 1900, the United States had six million mules, critical in agricul-ture and industry during the prior 100 years.)

Mules have hybrid vigor, the tendency of hybrid animals to be healthier than either parent and to inherit many of the best traits of their parents — in the case of a mule, the athletic ability of a horse and the intelligence of a donkey.

Consider speed, where some horses excel. No one but an inept handicapper would ever bet on a mule to win the Kentucky Derby, but in general, the fastest mules can outrun most horses.

What about jumping? Mules jump like a deer, “flat-footed.” (Many mules can jump a six-foot-high fence.) Mules have more en-durance than the horse, tougher hooves, and require less food than a horse of similar size. Un-der stress, horses will generally run away. Mules will choose either flight or fight depending on circum-stance. Although a mule is more likely to flee than is a donkey, the mule can carry more.

Why work so hard with a horse and a donkey to get one of these mules? Why not just get some mules and breed them? A horse has 64 chromosomes, a donkey has 62. The resulting mule winds up with 63, an odd number not equally divisible by 2, making it ex-tremely rare for a mule to breed. Refer to our third definition of a

mule, “any sterile hybrid.” Accord-ing to this, the likelihood that Slim’s mules will reproduce is none.

But hold on; let’s keep an open mind about mule reproduction, aided by quotes from a profession-al source. “There have been no re-corded cases of male mules ever siring a foal.” (So the male parent must be a horse or a donkey.) “All known fertile hybrids in the equine world have been female mules. Fertile mules are a 1 in 1 million case occurrence. Why the few is still scientifically a mystery.”

This source accepts the docu-mented case of a female mule, Krause, with two mule sons. “DNA testing is conclusive that both sons are the foals of Krause.” And — “In … 2007 a female mule in Colora-do gave birth to a live foal. DNA from both the female mule and her foal has been tested by two differ-ent labs to date (July 2007). Both labs have thus verified that the foal qualifies as the offspring of the fe-male mule, and that the mother is a mule and not a donkey or horse.” This source also discusses a fer-tile female hinny in China. If you want definitive information about this subject, check out www.love-longears.com.

So what is our conclusion about Slim’s chances? Let’s agree upon “slight.” (Good taste will not let me punish you further with the same play on words.)

Slim rides mules, and I only write about them. So a third party, some-one who has the academic back-ground to sign off on this letter, has been consulted. In the state of Arkansas, there are less than 10 large animal vets. One of these is both a veterinarian and a physicist. I’ll call him Albert. Albert’s creden-tials are not only impeccable, they are also unique. Have you ever known someone who can explain E = mc? to a class on Monday, and deliver a mule or a hinny on Tues-day? Albert says that some of this could have been phrased better, but on the whole, it is reasonably accurate.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — The stalemate over spending and the health care law that has left the federal government partially shut down could be resolved in a matter of days or weeks. But the rhetoric surrounding the debate is likely to live on much longer in Arkansas.

With more than a year until Elec-tion Day, the shutdown fight is of-fering voters a preview of the multi-million air war they can expect between Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor and Republican Rep. Tom Cotton. The government shutdown and the battle over the federal debt ceiling are providing both of them a chance to test out their main lines of attack in next year’s U.S. Senate election.

Cotton and Pryor ratcheted up their ad war last week, with the Re-publican challenger airing his first spot since he launched his bid in August. The 30-second spot, cur-rently airing in the Little Rock area, accuses Pryor of backing a special exemption for Congress from the federal health care law.

“Mark Pryor cast the deciding vote to make you live under Obam-acare. But Pryor votes himself and everyone in Congress special sub-sidies so they’re protected from Obamacare,” the narrator says in the spot. “Exemptions and special subsidies for Mark Pryor, higher in-surance premiums for you.”

The claim sparked a backlash from Pryor’s campaign, which called on Cotton to take down the

ad after Politifact.com called it false and noting that other fact check sites have disputed similar claims by other Republicans.

“It’s his responsibility to do the honorable thing and stop misin-forming Arkansans,” Pryor cam-paign manager Jeff Weaver said last week.

Cotton’s campaign, however, has said that it’s actually considering expanding the ad buy and stands by the spot.

The disputed claim focuses on a part of the 2010 overhaul that re-quires members of Congress and their staff to purchase their insur-ance through the exchanges set up under the law. The law, however, did not say what would happen to the employer contribution that Con-gress and its employees currently receive.

The Office of Personnel Manage-ment in August proposed that the federal government will continue to pay its standard share of premiums. That proposal, however, has been met with criticism from Cotton and other Republicans who have called it a special subsidy for Washington.

The ad kicked off a high-dollar ad war between Cotton and Pryor and outside groups campaigning on their behalf, such as the Club for

Growth and Senate Majority PAC. Both have kicked in with six-figure ad buys, and Pryor is airing spots aimed at refuting Cotton’s claims. The Club for Growth’s spots have made similar claims about Pryor, while Senate Majority PAC is criti-cizing Cotton over the federal gov-ernment shutdown.

Both ads highlight the lines of attack that Cotton and Pryor are likely to stick to throughout the rest of the year. For Cotton, it contin-ues his push to try and link Pryor with President Barack Obama and his signature health care law. It’s a strategy that’s benefited clearly benefited Republicans in the state, who have swept all four of the state’s congressional seats and won control of the state Legisla-ture with a similar push.

The ads by Pryor and Senate Majority PAC show just how much Democrats are betting on the gov-ernment shutdown reversing that tide. With national polls showing Republicans suffering politically from the standoff, Pryor and Dem-ocrats are eager to tie Cotton to the shutdown.

In a race that could end up decid-ing which party controls the Sen-ate, the fight could ultimately boil down to what voters dislike more: the president’s signature health care law or the shutdown that was triggered by fights over the law?(Andrew DeMillo covers Arkan-sas government and politics for the Associated Press.

• Nancy Weaver - Domestic Enrichment. Was a beloved and greatly-admired mem-ber of Greater St. Paul Baptist Church.

• Sherry Wilson - Humanitarianism. She was a native of Ouachita County and a graduate of Lincoln High School, AM&N - now know as the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, and also of Henderson State University. She moved to New York, but re-turned to Camden to take care of her ailing mother.

The evening also saw the announcement

of the names of “Living Legends.” These women were not aware that they would be honored at the event and were shocked and pleasantly surprised to hear their names called.

OWOD’s Living Legends for 2013 were:• Bobby Jean Bragg. She was described by

JoEtta Foreman - OWOD co-founder - as a woman who is an exemplary friend, non-judgmental, kind and caring, loves uncon-ditionally and is a wonderful servant of her church and God. Bragg was barely able to speak after her name was mentioned, and simply thanked the members of OWOD for the award.

• Fraulene Williams Rogers. She was honored by Velma Slaughter as a woman who climbed the business ladder despite personal struggles. Rogers graduated from Camden Colored High School, then moved to Chicago. She returned to Camden and went into business with her father, running Williams Funeral Home. Rogers was also the first black woman to serve on the board of the Camden Chamber of Commerce. She is a member of Zion Hill Baptist Church and is still working even though she is over 90 years of age.

She was stunned by the award and, over-

come with emotion, stated, “This is the big-gest surprise!” Ouachita County Coroner Sylvester Smith, who works with Rogers at the funeral home, said, “It was hard to keep the wool over her eyes because she usually finds out everything.”

Two new categories were added to the award ceremony this year, with the first be-ing “Man of the Year.” That award was given to Ouachita County Highway Department Supervisor Rudie Galbert. He is the husband of Camden City Council Alderwoman Irene Galbert, who is a member of OWOD.

Ora Lee Westbrook presented the award to Galbert and said he was chosen because his accomplishments and career have “left an imprint on the community, city, county and state.” She said Galbert is dependable and can be called on at any time of the day or night to help anyone in need. Westbrook said he is like a “big brother, father, son, friend and mentor to many. He is a tower of strength and a strong force of efficient public service. He is one of a kind.”

Galbert beamed from ear to ear at receiv-ing the award and thanked the organization for it.

The “Milestone Award,” another first, was presented to Alonzo Bennett, husband

of OWOD co-founder Mary Bennett. The award was given to him by his son, Rod Bennett, who said his father is a man of honor, dependable, unpretentious and God fearing.

He told attendees that Bennett has tre-mendous love for God and family and is the “best father, grandfather anyone could ask for.” He revealed that his father has been an educator for 50 years and has positively im-pacted the lives of thousands by providing students with an excellent education and encouraging them to pursue their dreams and goals.

Rod Bennett said that for his father, “teach-ing is not a job or chore, but a passion.”

Alonzo Bennett accepted his award and said it was all possible because of his wife.

Bennett also stated that he was surprised his son was at the banquet because he spoke to the younger Bennett at 5:30 p.m. that day and was told that his son was in Virginia.

District 5 Rep David Fielding, District 7 Rep. John Baine and Sen. Bruce Maloch were on and to present citations to the night’s recipients and to the Living Leg-ends, and representatives of the office of the Ouachita County Judge and Camden Mayor Chris Claybaker also presented citations.

Continued from Page 1than happy to answer ques-tions form the audience. Stephens Superintendent Patsy Hughey approached the podium first and asked the crowd to take advantage of the opportunity to voice their opinion, but to be re-spectful while doing so.

“This is an opportunity to say what you want to say. But it’s not the time to point fingers,” Hughey said. “We’re going to voice our opinion, but we are going to respect each other. Let us think about what is best for our students, and not what is best for us as adults.”

An audience member from McNeil then went to the po-dium and read a prepared statement. “The parents and residents of McNeil Arkan-sas request the students of the former McNeil School District be released from the Stephens School District to attend the Magnolia School District for the 2014-2015 school year and thereafter. After 10 years of being con-solidated with the Stephens School District, the parents of McNeil want our chil-dren to have a permanent, stable, and effective learn-ing environment and we are convinced that the Magnolia School District can provide that.

“The declining enrollment, test scores, finance, facilities, equipment and economic

conditions of Stephens School District indicate a lack of resources necessary for an effective teaching and learning environment... The annexation of the Stephens School District to the Ne-vada School District is not an acceptable alternative. The Nevada School District is also facing declining en-rollment and finances. They, too, may face annexation in three years.”

After the statement, the audience applauded in agreement.

The petition the speaker was referring to had been circulating in McNeil since the announcement that SSD was considering consoli-dating with the NSD. Over 300 parents and community members in McNeil have re-portedly signed the petition.

Another audience member sought to know how much weight the petition would carry and if, even though the people want one thing, the board still may decide another.

Kimbrell then reiterated his previous point that the school board must make the decisions, but Kimbrell said he recognized that the people on the board were selected by the communi-ty. “The elected board was elected to make these deci-sions,” he said. “The peti-tion would have to be pre-sented by your local board

Against Domestic Violence. Canisters or tubes will

be distributed by Dumas to local business Tuesday. The containers will have a domestic violence fact on them, she said. The cam-paign will continue until the end of this month.

to the state board and then it would be decided then if it would be accepted.”

One audience member said that he was a product of McNeil and Stephens be-cause he lived in McNeil, but attended school in Stephens. He said he felt Stephens pro-vided many opportunities to students, but it was time to do what was in the best in-terest of the students.

“What is in the best inter-est of our students? Putting them in a district that has more opportunities outside of basketball, among other extracurricular activities, that help them become more well rounded. Being that Magnolia is just six miles away, I think it is better for our children to go there. We elected our school board to have the children’s interest at heart, not their own per-sonal agendas.”

After an audience member asked the school board if they saw a downside to any of the options that were on the table, Porchia answered first.

“I do not see a downside to any option that the board decides to do,” he said. “I

think that they (the options) would all be in the best in-terest of out students.”

Porchia then said with authority, “But at the end, its still a decision of the board.”

There was then a low rumble of displeasure in the crowd while the other board members agreed with Por-chia’s statement. Another parent in the audience then went to the podium, in obvi-ous frustration.

“The issue is not the stu-dents. The issue is the school board! How can you sit up here and ask some-body something and you want to be smart?”

The attendees then ap-plauded in agreement. The man then left the podium and walked back to his seat while telling the board “Don’t get quiet now.”

Another audience member addressed Kimbrell stating, “You know what the right decision is, don’t you? You have heard these people tell you about the situations we have had with the Stephens School District.”

After Kimbrell stated that he had, in fact, received

feedback from some of the residents of McNeil about what they desired for their children, the addressee told Kimbrell “OK. Well don’t go deaf on us now.”

Hughey then was ap-plauded by the crowd after she answered a question the audience felt that the board should have been able to, but deferred to administra-tion instead. The question was: How many students represented either Stephens or McNeil?

Hughey stated that there was around 92 students from McNeil, and the other 200-plus were from Stephens.

Stephens Elementary Prin-cipal Michael Odom then presented a Powerpoint show that displayed the re-sults from a survey that the district sent home last week. The questionnaire asked if residents were in support of consolidation with the Nevada School District and if so, would they like for the Stephens school facilities to stay open.

The survey indicated that 87 percent supported con-solidation with Nevada, and 92 percent of the responders

wanted both of the school campuses to stay open.

One audience member then pointed out that the 200 surveys that were completed could have just represented the people of Stephens and that there was no options of whether or not the par-ents would have been inter-ested in consolidating with Magnolia or having school choice on the survey.

Odom responded, “We weren’t interested in that. We were just going off of what was discussed in the last meeting, and that was consolidating with Nevada.”

Hughey then informed the audience that another sur-vey would be constructed to ask parents how they would feel about the options that were discussed that night.

Kimbrell then left, and the school board initiated its regular board meeting. The financial report and minutes form the last meeting were approved before dismissing in to an executive session.

No date was provided as to when the next meeting would be.

U.S. courts convict terrorists; Gitmo trials drag onWASHINGTON (AP) — Four

years after his failed effort to bring the 9/11 mastermind to New York for trial, President Barack Obama has reinstated the federal courthouse as America’s preferred venue for pros-ecuting suspected terrorists.

His administration has done so by quietly securing conviction after conviction in the civilian ju-dicial system. Meanwhile at Guan-tanamo Bay, admitted 9/11 master-mind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s case moves at a snail’s pace.

Tuesday’s expected arraignment of suspected al-Qaida member Abu Anas al-Libi is the latest ex-ample of Obama’s de facto policy. Al-Libi was captured in a military raid in Libya earlier this month and had been under interrogation aboard a U.S. warship.

The Obama administration says it considers all options for pros-ecuting terrorists, weighing mili-tary and civilian trials on a case-by-case basis.

But Guantanamo Bay, the U.S. military base that embodied America’s post-9/11 methods of interrogating and prosecuting sus-pected terrorists, has turned into a legal morass. The military com-mission’s poor case record has be-come less about winning and more

about completion.While the Justice Department

says more than 125 people have been convicted of terrorism charg-es in federal courts since 2009, not a single military commission has come to a close during that period.

Of the few military commis-sions completed under President George W. Bush, most resulted in short sentences or have been overturned.

“There’s really no comparison in terms of the success rate,” said Da-vid Raskin, the former top nation-al security prosecutor at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan. “Not really between wins or loss-es, just finishing the cases. There’s no comparison at this point.”

The politics are breaking Obama’s way too.

When Attorney General Eric Holder announced in 2009 that Mohammed would be tried in New York City, the outcry from both political parties was great.

Some feared a high-profile ter-rorism trial would put the city at risk. Others said a civilian court-house, with all the rights afforded defendants there, was no place for a terrorist.

Obama, who came into office promising to close Guantanamo

Bay and prosecute terrorists in federal courts, buckled under the pressure and pulled the case back to Guantanamo.

Since then, not much has changed at the naval base in Cuba. Moham-med is one of 164 men held there and one of six facing trial. Those trials have stalled largely because of legal challenges to the commis-sion system itself.

In federal courts, however, the Obama administration is quietly churning through terror cases and putting many terrorists away for life.

One of the first key cases was against Ahmed Ghailani, a former Guantanamo detainee who was transferred to New York during the Bush administration. He was convicted in 2010 and is serving a life sentence in prison.

Last year, Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, an Iraqi man, pleaded guilty to terrorism charges in Ken-tucky and was sentenced to life in prison without parole. Hammadi’s co-defendant got a 40-year sen-tence for his role in a plot to ship weapons and cash to insurgents in Iraq.

Ahmed Abdulkadir Warsame, a Somali citizen accused of helping support and train al-Qaida-linked

militants, pleaded guilty ear-lier this year. Like al-Libi, he was questioned aboard a U.S. warship before being turned over to the ci-vilian justice system.

Each new trial brought fresh crit-icism from Republicans, but that criticism diminished each time.

Some Republican lawmakers criticized Monday’s announce-ment that al-Libi would face trial in court. They questioned whether interrogators questioned him long enough.

“It certainly begs the question whether rushing foreign terrorists into U.S. courts is a strategy that is in the best interests of the United States,” said Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

But in the midst of a major bud-get debate in Washington, the mat-ter got little attention.

The White House, which once fought back against such criticism, now shows little interest in renew-ing a debate that proved to be a political distraction.

So the administration said noth-ing when al-Libi arrived in the United States on Saturday. Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney for the southern district of New York, is-sued a two-sentence statement

Monday, saying only that al-Libi was due in court to answer charges dating back more than a decade.

Al-Libi, whose full name is Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, is accused of helping plan and conduct sur-veillance for the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa.

“A federal civilian criminal trial is by far the safest and the one that would raise the least complex set of legal problems for the adminis-tration,” said Steve Vladick, a pro-fessor at American University law school.

That’s because al-Libi was in-dicted more than a decade ago, which meant the government did not need any evidence it gathered against him during his interroga-tion.

Intelligence officials questioned him for a week aboard the USS San Antonio. Interrogations at sea have replaced CIA “black sites” as the U.S. government’s preferred method for holding suspected ter-rorists and questioning them with-out access to lawyers.

Al-Libi’s al-Qaida ties date back to the terrorist group’s early years, according to court documents. That would make him a valuable source of information about the group’s history.

FAYETTEVILLE - The, 3-4, 0-3 in the SEC Arkansas Razorbacks managed to receive some recent nation-al recognition other than absorbing a 52-7 homecom-ing shellacking last Saturday from South Carolina and grim prospects to absorb another drubbing this 6 p.m. Saturday visiting top-ranked reigning national cham-pion Alabama on ESPN in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Arkansas’ positive national note Monday was Razorbacks Athletic Director Jeff Long named to chair the College Football Selection Committee.

The committee will decide the four teams to play in NCAA Division 1’s first play-off to decide the national championship following the 2014 regular season start-ing with the Rose and Sugar Bowls and their winners then playing in the national championship game.

At the close of his weekly Monday press conference, first-year Arkansas Coach Bret Bielema was asked about the responsibility bestowed upon the athletic director who hired him.

“I texted him this morn-ing,” Bielema said. “I said, ‘Can I call you Mr. Chairman from now on? It’s obvious-ly a tremendous honor for him. It’s obviously great for Arkansas. It shows a lot of respect for what he has in the world of college athletics and college football. I don’t mind if the chair that com-mittee is a little biased. It’s gonna be OK by me.”

The Razorbacks, at this 3-4 point approaching a pipe dream long shot for just a minor bowl in this final season of the BCS, appear light years away from thrust-ing themselves into testing Long’s impartiality as the 2014 selection chairman.

Their biggest concern for now seems to be convinc-ing themselves coming off a 52-7 embarrassment at home that they stand the remotest chance of upsetting the No. 1 ranked Crimson Tide.

Last year by 52-0 the Tide rolled.

What can Bielema tell them for a thread of hope?

“I would tell them, ‘Don’t be a Debbie Downer,” Bielema said Monday. “Just because history has happened in the past it doesn’t need to repeat itself.”

MLB umpire dies of heart attack

NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball umpire Wally Bell died of an apparent heart attack, a week after working the NL playoff series between the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals. He was 48.

The commissioner’s office said Bell died in his home state of Ohio.

Bell had not been feel-ing well over the weekend and had been scheduled to see doctors Monday at the Cleveland Clinic.

Bell had quintuple bypass surgery on Feb. 18, 1999, that left him with an 8-inch scar down the middle of his chest.

Von Miller back from suspension

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — No apologies. No promises. No explanations.

Instead, Broncos line-backer Von Miller simply asked his fans, teammates and coaches to judge him on what he does in the future, now that his six-game suspension for violat-ing the NFL’s drug-abuse policy is over.

He fell short of the prom-ise he made in July, when news of his pending sus-pension first surfaced, that “when this is all done and resolved, I will sit down with all you guys and be candid about everything.”

Instead, during a nine-minute interview heavy on scripted talking points, the third-year veteran talked about how grateful he was for the support his team-mates have shown him dur-ing his ordeal.

Jamaica racers under review

A year after Usain Bolt made history at the London Olympics and declared himself “a living legend,” a bombshell dropped largely unnoticed in The Gleaner, the Caribbean’s oldest news-paper: A former director of the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission alleged the island didn’t drug-test its athletes for entire months before they dazzled at the Summer Games.

Statistics compiled by former JADCO Executive Director Renee Anne Shirley indicated a near-complete breakdown in the agency’s out-of-competi-tion testing from January 2012 to the July opening of the Olympics.

In an interview with the Associated Press, JADCO chairman Herbert Elliott dismissed Shirley’s figures as lies and described her as “a bit demented” and “a Judas.”

But the World Anti-Doping Agency confirmed to AP that there was, as Shirley asserted, “a signifi-cant gap of no testing” by JADCO as athletes trained for London — and that it would launch an “extraordi-nary” audit of the Jamaican agency.

Waltrip Racing to cut down to two

CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Michael Waltrip Racing will run only two full-time cars next season because of the loss of sponsor NAPA, part of the fallout from its attempts to manipulate a race. Truex, crew chief Chad Johnston and 15 per-cent of the workforce were notified they are free to negotiate with other teams.

JV Cards hang tough with Rison

By KELLY BLAIRSports Editor

Camden Fairview’s volley-ball team got back into the swing of things and got back on the winning track on Monday, downing El Dorado in three straight games to pick up a non-conference victory.

The Lady Cardinals defeated the Lady Wildcats 25-12, 25-16, 25-4. The win improves Camden Fairview to 10-6 on the season.

CF head coach Melissa Thames said the two teams went “back and fourth” for about the first 7-8 points of the match, before the Lady Cardinals were able to make a run. After a small run by El Dorado, Camden Fairview put the first match away with another big run, and cruised from there.

“The second game was OK, but then in the third game I think they were ready to go home,” Thames said. “The El Dorado coach cleared his bench, and they didn’t do much better, so he brought his starters back in, but that didn’t matter either.”

Coming off a loss to

Magnolia in their last outing, and not playing on Thursday due to Homecoming activi-ties, Thames said she was glad to see her girls come back and get back on track.

“Our seniors have been off since Wednesday, and the entire team has been off since Thursday, so we were a little rusty when we start-ed,” Thames said. “Once we got into it, we played pretty well though.”

Natalie McLelland led the team with 21 points, two kills and five assists, while Jada McKinney had 15 points, three digs and two kills. Cori Moore had 12 points, while Jade Sanders had 10 points, two digs and three kills. Jalissa Avery and Tiauna Wilkins both had seven points each, with Avery totaling six kills and Wilkins getting three.

Camden Fairview’s junior varsity team (3-10) also won on Monday, downing El Dorado 22-25, 25-16, 15-13. Melaney Slack led the JV Lady Cards with 14 points, while Bailey Burton had 10 and Jenna Sandry scored seven.

Camden Fairview will now travel to Lakeside tonight for a chance to claim the No. 2 playoff seed for the upcom-ing 5A state tournament. With all the other team finished with their confer-ence schedules, Lakeside has already won the confer-ence outright, with the Lady Cardinals currently sitting in second place with two conference losses.

Magnolia has three con-ference losses, but if the Lady Cardinals and Lady Panthers end up being tied, Magnolia will take the No. 2 seed since they defeat-ed Camden Fairview in three games while the Lady Cardinals won their match with Magnolia in five.

“Our players know what is at stake, so hopefully they will bring their A-plus game,” Thames said. “It won’t be easy playing at Lakeside, and there is a chance that it might be their senior night with a really big crowd. But it is possible to beat them. We just have to go and play our best and see what happens.”

Camden Fairview’s junior varsity came up just short against Rison’s varsity team on Monday night, as the Wildcats defeated the Cardinal JV team 40-32.

The win improves Rison’s senior team to 5-2 on the year. Camden Fairview’s junior varsity team is 1-3 on the season.

Despite the loss, CF head foot-ball coach Buck James said he was extremely proud of his junior var-sity squad, which only consisted of 32 players on Monday.

“For a group that usually practices as the scout team and doesn’t get a lot of reps with the varsity, I am very proud of them,” James said. “Our kids showed up and played pretty well on Monday.”

James said the Cardinals even had a chance to tie the game right at the end, facing a fourth and seven situation at the Rison 15-yard line. The JV Cards only picked up five

yards on the play, however, turning the ball over on downs and allowing Rison to seal the win.

Playing in the 9-member 8-2A conference, the Wildcats have struggled to find opponents to fill their middle-of-the-sea-son open date for the last couple of years. Last year, Rison played Pine Bluff ’s junior varsi-ty team to fill their schedule. This year, the Wildcats played Harmony Grove’s junior varsity team in Week 6, defeating the JV Hornets 36-0, and were scheduled to take on Crossett’s junior var-sity team tonight for a Week 7 opponent before the Eagles canceled.

When Hope’s junior varsity team canceled on Camden Fairview, the Cardinals and Wildcats were able to get together and agree to play on Monday.

The contest was a battle of philos-ophies as well as well as points on the scoreboard, as the JV Cardinals managed to hit several long passes through the air, while Rison primar-

ily kept the ball on the ground the whole time.

“We probably didn’t have 25 yards rushing, but we

moved the ball up and down the field all night through the air,” James said. “Rison was three yards and a cloud of

dust the whole time, but that’s what they do

against everybody. We just had some breakdowns

on special teams that hurt us, but you know,

these (JV) guys don’t get to practice special teams hardly at all.”

The Cardinals trailed 20-12 at half-time, and 33-24 after three quarters of play.

James said Jordan Semple scored the first touchdown on a 12-yard

pass from Logan Reed, while PJ Thrower scored the second touch-down on a screen pass that went about 60 yards.

DeAngelo Wright then hauled in a pair of long touchdown passes from Reed, before Daryl Strickland scored the final touchdown for the JV Cardinals.

“Our guys did a heck of a job now,” James said. “The thing I was most proud of is that they com-peted. What I really wanted to see is how we would take the pounding, and our guys kept getting back up and getting after them. That says a lot about that group. Regardless of classification size, they were play-ing a hard-nosed, rugged, physical team that is known all over for its toughness and its discipline, and they stayed right there with them.”

The JV Cards are scheduled to finish their season on Monday against Magnolia, although James said he isn’t certain the game won’t be canceled.

HOOTEN's Class 2A GAME OF THE WEEK

No. 3 Carlisle at No. 8 HazenThe 6-2A title is likely on the

line in this battle of Highway 70 neighbors. Starters for both teams have played about five quarters over the past three weeks in blow-out victories. Hazen beat Carlisle 16-14 a year ago when the teams shared the 6-2A title. In 2009, Ha-zen beat Carlisle 26-18 in three overtimes to claim its first confer-ence title since 1985. Carlisle has dominated the series, winning 21 times since 1988.

Hazen junior RB Trenton Mos-by paces the Hornets this fall, averaging more than 100 yards per game. Junior RB Lucas Teni-son has rushed for more than 300 yards. Tenison and junior LB Josh Harrison lead Hazen with more than 40 tackle apiece. Sophomore end Khalid Mills has 16 tackles for loss, while senior DTs Jacob Walker (6-2, 235) and Deven Lar-kin (5-10, 255) control the interior. Hazen allows 10.8 ppg.

Carlisle senior QB Austin Reed has completed 70 percent of his passes for more than 400 yards. Senior Braden Reed leads the Bi-son with more than 300 receiv-ing yards. Senior RBs Bo Weddle (732 yards) and Deron Ricks (729 yards) run behind a line spear-headed by senior guard Landon Sage (5-8, 180) and junior LT/DE Colton Isbell (5-11, 200). Carlisle allows 9 ppg.

WEEK 7 (favored team in CAPS followed by point spread)

3-2AE. POINSETT COUNTY (28) at

Cedar Ridge: EPC healing some, and its offensive line performed well last week in a 46-16 win over McCrory with the return of senior G Trevor Brown (5-10, 230). All-3-2A RB Trevor McDaniel ran for

182 yards and three TDs, increas-ing his season total to 521 yards (7 ypc).

Augusta at CROSS COUNTY (2): Augusta refused to lose last week in a 54-52 five-overtime win over Marked Tree. Augusta trailed the entire game before ty-ing it with 5:11 left in the fourth quarter. Cross County lost 38-32 in overtime at Walnut Ridge. Cross County blocked a 27-yard field goal attempt with 13 seconds left to force overtime.

Hard-driving sophomore RB Kaigen Rogo ran 18 times for 148 yards and two TDs.

WALNUT RIDGE (8) at Marked Tree: Since upsetting Salem three weeks ago, Marked Tree narrowly escaped Cedar Ridge 24-20 and lost in five overtimes last week at Augusta 54-52.

4-2ADECATUR (6) at Western Yell

County: In case you missed it, Decatur thumped McDonald County, Mo., 44-16 last Thursday with junior RB Allen Castaneda and sophomore Meng Vang rush-ing for two TDs apiece. Decatur topped Western Yell 52-14 in 2012. WYC allows 66.5 ppg this year.

HACKETT (10) at Mountain-burg: Hackett surging after a rough start. Mountainburg senior QB and battering ram Josh Skat-tebo (5-10, 300) knocked out of the 42-7 loss at Hector, but he did return.

Hartford at MAGAZINE (48): Magazine takes over sole posses-sion of second place in the 4-2A.

Union Christian at HECTOR (21): UC challenges Hector’s pass defense. UC QB Braxton Smith has completed 47 percent of his passes for 1,409 yards and eight TDs. Senior WR Will Callaway has 37 receptions for 498 yards, and senior TE Joel Murdock has 27 catches for 323 yards. Hector

led Mountainburg 21-0 early last week and cruised to a 42-7 win. Senior RB Gus Nichols (785 yards) runs behind a big, physical line that includes athletic junior RT Tyler Gililland (6-4, 240), seniors Chris Poole (6-1, 270), Karson Lee (5-8, 270) and Daniel Lott (6-3, 260) and juniors Alec McMinn (6-6, 315) and Steven Ester (6-1, 280).

5-2AMount Ida at CUTTER M STAR

(2): Nine of Cutter’s 18 players are seniors, and the Eagles are perched atop the 5-2A standings. CMS, a run-first Spread team, av-eraged 11.5 yards per carry two weeks ago vs. Quitman. Mount Ida ran for 347 yards and all five TDs last week in a 31-27 victory over Conway Christian. The Li-ons converted four of six fourth-down attempts. Sophomore Aus-tin Hickman led Mt. Ida with 22 carries for 102 yards and two TDs, while sophomore QB T.J. Wilson covered 99 yards on 15 attempts.

Mountain Pine at MAGNET COVE (35): Magnet Cove re-bounded from its sloppy 7-6 win over Poyen to crush Quitman 54-0 last week. Mountain Pine has lost 15 in a row.

POYEN (6) at Bigelow: Bigelow exploded for 42 points a week ago against winless Mountain Pine. Poyen trailed Cutter Morning Star 14-13 late in the first half but gave up a score to end the half and an-other early in the third quarter of a 39-20 loss.

Quitman at CONWAY CHRIS-TIAN (28): Conway Christian QB Chandler Ferrand turned in a mon-ster night last week in a 31-27 loss to Mount Ida. The senior ran for 115 yards and two TDs, while pass-ing for 208 yards and two TDs. Six different receivers caught passes for Conway Christian.

6-2ACarlisle at HAZEN (2): See 2A

Game of the Week.England at DES ARC (1): Des

Arc avenged its 2012 homecom-

ing loss to Palestine-Wheatley with a 26-6 win last week at P-W. Led by senior LB Danerryen Spencer’s 10 tackles. Des Arc held P-W to less than 90 yards rushing. The Des Arc offense continues to sputter, running at about 70 per-cent efficiency, says Coach Dustin Prescott. Senior Zac Devore ran for 101 yards last week and pac-es Des Arc this season with 500 yards. Lyon College looking at se-nior QB/OLB Jalen Holloway (450 rushing yards; 28 ACT). England QB Tyrik Harris not only impro-vises well on the run, he protects the football and throws a good deep pass. Harris completed a 60-yard TD pass last week to Zach Brown in a 38-0 win over Marvell. England leveled Des Arc 41-6 last year.

Marvell at BRINKLEY (18): Brinkley stays in position to gain the No. 5 playoff seed.

PALESTINE-WHEATLEY (38) at Clarendon: Clarendon has tal-ented skill players, but the lack of linemen and physical strength limits the Lions.

7-2ALafayette County at DIERKS

(35): Lafayette County notched its first league win last week against a Foreman team missing five (in-jured) starters. No. 4 Dierks play-ing great defense in league action, holding Mineral Springs and its electric QB Kendrick Langston (20 yards on six carries) to 106 total yards a week ago. Dierks al-lows 11 ppg. Dierks sophomore workhorse Trendin McKinney ran 30 times for 175 yards.

Murfreesboro at MINERAL SPRINGS (2): Murfreesboro stunned eventual state semifinal-ist Mineral Springs 42-22 a year ago. Mineral Springs had scored just 50 points this season. Mur-freesboro allows 26.7 ppg this year.

Spring Hill at GURDON (24): Spring Hill got after Junction City early last week and trailed by just

a TD, but the Bears lost four fum-bles in the first half that Junction City turned into 28 points. Gur-don senior QB Austin Kirkpatrick has completed 42 of 74 passes for 784 yards and 12 TDs with just one interception.

8-2AHermitage at STRONG (42):

Strong took big step toward lock-ing down fourth playoff seed last week with a thrilling 8-6 win at Parkers Chapel. Strong drove 50 yards in the last 1:48 with Antonio Green catching an 18-yard pass and running 1 yard for the tying TD. Green then took a pitch and scored the winning two-point conversion.

JUNCTION CITY (45) at Wood-lawn: Air Junction rolls on. Junior QB Randall Holyfield completed 11 of 12 passes last week for 163 yards in a 55-13 win over Spring Hill. Junction City turned four first-half turnovers into 28 points. The Dragons have ripped off 20 straight wins. Junior LB Josh Arm-strong paces the Dragons with 98 tackles, including four TFL and three sacks. The Junction defense has allowed just 282 passing yards and one passing TD this year, while recording 11 sacks and 13 in-terceptions.

PARKERS CHAPEL (6) at Hampton: Parkers Chapel must rebound from an emotional 8-6 homecoming loss to Strong. The Trojans fumbled at the 50-yard line and surrendered a TD drive and two-point conversion with 30 seconds left in the game.

Camden Fairview JV at RISON (1) (Monday): Rison took down the Camden Harmony Grove JV 36-0 last week when senior slot-back Kolton Hooks ran for two TDs, and senior Zuntario Oliver returned an interception 35 yards for a TD in the first quarter. Rison has recorded at least one shutout for 33 straight seasons, according to historian Stan Stadler.

Rivers, Novak lead Chargers to 19-9 winSAN DIEGO (AP) — Philip Rivers and

the San Diego Chargers slowly put to rest all that talk about Andrew Luck and the In-dianapolis Colts’ offense.

It was hard for Luck to pull off another comeback, or even get into the end zone, while standing on the sideline.

Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9 victory against the Colts on Monday night.

“I wasn’t sure who the Colts were playing this week all the ads I saw,” Rivers said, not-ing that all the pregame buzz surrounded the Colts (4-2), not the Bolts (3-3).

Rivers expertly guided a balanced offense on three scoring drives of at least 74 yards while rebounding from a three-interception performance in a dismal loss at Oakland.

That, and a lot of dropped passes by Colts receivers, kept Indianapolis (4-2) from tak-ing a two-game lead over Tennessee in the AFC South.

The Colts didn’t even score a touchdown. All their points came on three field goals by Adam Vinatieri.

A week earlier, Luck helped rally the Colts to a 34-28 victory against Seattle.

“We knew if we didn’t turn the ball over

and we sustained drives, which we did — we had some 12, 14, 16-play drives — that we’d give ourselves a chance to win,” Riv-ers said.

“We didn’t go into the game saying ‘Let’s play ball control,’ Rivers added. “We want-ed to score as many points as we could. We didn’t score that many, but we did sustain drives. I thought Keenan Allen stepped up big. They were doubling Gatesy (Antonio Gates) a lot, and Danny Woodhead stepped up big. The offensive line was great. That’s the way we need to be able to run the foot-ball. If we can mix the run in, we got a chance.”

Luck had no real chance against the Bolts because of two long drives in the second quarter that helped contribute to the Char-gers dominating the time of possession 38 minutes, 31 seconds to 21:29.

Allen got behind safety Delano Howell and cornerback Vontae Davis on a post route for the TD, completing a 12-play, 74-yard march that took 6:14 and gave San Diego a 7-3 lead. It was Allen’s second TD catch of the season.

Novak’s first field goal capped a drive that went 79 yards in 17 plays in 7:58. The drive was kept alive when cornerback Greg Toler was whistled for illegal contact for pushing

receiver Lavelle Hawkins out of bounds on third-and-6 from the Chargers 45.

Luck then completed four straight passes to move the Colts into Chargers territory before Coby Fleener dropped a pass at the 25. Luck scrambled for 6 yards and threw an incompletion before Vinatieri kicked a 50-yard field goal as time expired.

On the Colts’ only other possession of the second quarter, Darrius Heyward-Bey dropped what likely would have been a long touchdown pass down the right sideline.

“We stunk on third down today,” Luck said. “A lot of credit to their defense. I think we made our fair share of mistakes, but I think it’s what they did. If we can’t convert third downs and drives continually stall like that, it’s a short rest for our defense and no points for us, so it’s a bad combination.”

Novak also had field goals of 33, 34 and 50 yards, with the final one coming with 1:55 left. Vinatieri had kicks of 30, 50 and 51 yards.

Chargers cornerback Derek Cox snuffed out Indy’s final chance when he intercepted a pass that was tipped by receiver Reggie Wayne with 1:07 to play.

Rivers was 22 of 33 for 237 yards and no interceptions. Luck was 18 of 30 for 202 yards.

Wayne got his 1,000th career reception in the fourth quarter on a 21-yard pass from Luck. Wayne had five catches for 88 yards, giving him 1,001 for his career. He passed Hines Ward (1,000) for eighth place on the NFL list.

“It’s a great honor,” Wayne said. “It’s a humbling experience to be in an elite class with a bunch of guys who have helped pave the way for guys like myself. I wish it was more of a greater celebration. I would rath-er take the ‘W’ than any accolades.”

The Colts opened the game with a flea-flicker, with Trent Richardson taking the handoff and tossing the ball back to Luck, who completed a 35-yard pass to Wayne. The drive bogged down at the Chargers 11, leading to Vinatieri’s 30-yard field goal.

San Diego established its running game with 147 yards. Ryan Mathews ran for 102 yards on 22 carries for his first 100-yard game of the season.

There were family ties in this one: Char-gers defensive coordinator John Pagano beat older brother Chuck, the Colts’ coach.

“Give John Pagano the credit he deserves,” Chargers coach Mike McCoy said. “He did an outstanding job of getting these players ready. It’s him and the rest of the whole de-fensive staff.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Led by a pair of precocious rook-ies, the Los Angeles Dodgers got themselves right back into the NL championship series.

Hyun-Jin Ryu outpitched Adam Wainwright with sev-en innings of three-hit ball, and Yasiel Puig celebrated twice on his RBI triple that helped Los Angeles beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-0 Mon-day night in Game 3.

Adrian Gonzalez’s RBI dou-ble ended a 1-for-17 drought for the Dodgers with runners in scoring position. An ailing Hanley Ramirez added a run-scoring hit as Los Angeles handed Wainwright his first postseason loss and trimmed its deficit to 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.

“The playoffs are one-day momentum swings,” Dodg-

ers manager Don Mattingly said. “Right now I feel like we’ve kind of grabbed it.”

Puig’s youthful exuberance, which energized the Dodg-ers as they surged from last place to first during a torrid midseason stretch, was on full display in the fourth in-ning.

The 22-year-old Cuban de-fector was so excited when he connected that he raised his arms immediately and stood in the batter’s box to watch the flight of the ball toward right field, clearly thinking it was going out of the park.

Once he realized it wasn’t, Puig started charging. He roared into third base and clapped his hands before raising them again as the sell-out crowd of 53,940 cheered.

Puig had reason to ex-

ult, having struck out seven times in the series before getting his first hit.

“He brings unbelievable energy every day,” Ramirez said. “When we spoke to him, he told me, ‘I got it to-day,’ and he did. He’s a great player.”

Game 4 is Tuesday at Dodger Stadium, with Ricky Nolasco scheduled to start against St. Louis right-hand-er Lance Lynn. But there was speculation the Dodgers might switch to Zack Gre-inke, especially after they passed over Nolasco with short notice in the previous round.

“Everybody’s trying to do the best they can to get to the World Series,” Puig said through a translator.

Los Angeles got Ramirez and center fielder Andre

Ethier back in the lineup af-ter both proved in batting practice they were healthy enough to play. Ramirez wore a lightweight flak jack-et to protect his broken left rib — having been hit by a pitch from Joe Kelly in Game 1 — while Ethier has been bothered by shin splints.

“What can I say? It couldn’t be better,” Ramirez said. “Re-ally happy we got the first win. Just come back tomor-row and even up the series.”

Ramirez singled his first time up off Wainwright and then helped the Dodgers ex-tend their lead to 3-0 in the eighth.

Ramirez hit a soft single off Seth Maness over the head of second baseman Kolten Wong to score Carl Craw-ford. The speedy Crawford, on second base after a one-

out single, rounded third and never stopped running when the throw from the outfield went to second base.

On a close play at the plate, Crawford barely beat the tag by catcher Yadier Molina.

“We just had a lot of balls in the air tonight that hit the ground that normally don’t,” Cardinals manager Mike Ma-theny said. “We’re a better club than this.”

During the rally, retired Dodgers manager Tom Las-orda, whose 1988 team won the franchise’s last World Se-ries title, stood up and waved his white rally towel to rau-cous applause.

“We just knew we had to scratch away and get a win,” Dodgers catcher A.J. El-lis said. “We needed a great starting pitching perfor-mance from Hyun-Jin, and

we got that. You knew it was going to be tough sledding against a guy like Adam. He’s so good, especially on the big stage, so we were fortu-nate we scratched a couple of runs across.”

Wainwright entered 4-0 with a 2.03 ERA and four saves in 15 career postseason games, including six starts. He pitched St. Louis past Pittsburgh in the division series, going the distance in a decisive Game 5 last Wednesday.

The right-hander tossed seven strong innings this time, allowing two runs and six hits with five strikeouts and no walks. Ryu, however, was even better.

“I hate to lose,” Wainwright said. “I felt like tonight if I had got a couple of balls in there, we win the game."

Bridget Jones is back in ‘Mad About the Boy’LONDON (AP) — Readers,

there is good news and bad news. Bridget Jones is back. But — brace yourselves — Mark Darcy is dead.

Fans have been shaken by the revelation, leaked ahead of pub-lication of “Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy,” the third book in Helen Fielding’s series about the diary-writing singleton. He may be fictional, but the demise of Bridget’s handsome lawyer lover — played on the big screen by a smoldering Colin Firth — was headline news.

“I turned on the news and there was the Syrian crisis, and then ‘Mark Darcy is dead,”’ Fielding said, amazed.

“It’s quite extraordinary for a fic-tional character to be treated as if they’re alive. I sort of think, hats off to Colin, because really he in-habited that character.”

The reaction is a testament to the hold of Fielding’s characters on the popular imagination. In dit-sy, indomitable Bridget, she cre-ated an archetype. (In Darcy she borrowed one, from the brooding Mr. Darcy of Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice”).

Bridget, created for a series of 1990s newspaper columns, was a 30-something Londoner look-ing for love and career fulfillment while enduring the condescension of “smug marrieds” and confess-ing her many insecurities in her diaries: “Alcohol units 7, cigarettes 22, calories 2,145. Minutes spent

inspecting face for wrinkles 230.”In “Mad About the Boy” she is

still counting calories and booze, though cigarettes have been re-placed by nicotine gum. Bridget is now a 51-year-old widow with two young children, convinced she will never find romance again.

Fielding said she had no choice but to kill Darcy so Bridget’s story could move on.

“The book I wanted to write was not about domesticity, married life. It was about Bridget strug-gling with what life throws at you,” Fielding said over lunch at the London gastropub where she likes to write in the daytime.

“It was Bridget being single with two children in the age of technol-ogy. And rediscovering her sexu-ality. She was a mother and she lost it amid the nappies and the busy-ness. I think lots of women go through that.”

Breaking the news of Darcy’s de-mise to Firth, who starred opposite Renee Zellweger in the film adap-tations of “Bridget Jones’s Diary” and “Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason,” was surprisingly tough.

“I was really nervous, and I had to make sure that he had someone with him and they were sitting down. And then I said, ‘Colin, I’ve got something really bad to tell you.’

“And then I suppose I just said ‘You’re dead,’ which is an odd thing to say to anyone. And we were both upset, but at the same

time we were laughing.”“Bridget Jones’s Diary,” pub-

lished in 1996, turned Fielding from a freelance journalist into one of Britain’s most successful writers.

The novel and its 1999 sequel have sold 15 million copies.

For years, Fielding resisted writ-ing another installment. She was drawn back into Bridget’s world by a desire to write about the lives of middle-aged women, who often face stereotyping, just as the single Bridget did in the earlier books.

“There was the idea of ‘tragic, barren spinster’ because she was unmarried in her 30s,” Fielding said. “It was real then. You were Miss bloody Havisham if you didn’t have a boyfriend at 35. And I think the same is true of the mid-dle-aged woman now.

“When I was in my 20s, I couldn’t imagine that life would continue beyond 40, really,” she added. “I couldn’t imagine there would still be dating and going out and get-ting drunk with your friends and worrying about calls or texts that hadn’t come, and what to wear.”

In “Mad About the Boy,” Bridg-et’s romantic misadventures are overshadowed by loss and the fear of aging — but a strong comic vein remains.

“I think most of the things I write are a mixture of dark and light,” Fielding said.

Life is “not all sailing along mar-velously, nor is it ‘Oh, we’re in a

well of despair.’ People hit tough times, and then their friends get round them and cheer them up and then they keep buggering on.”

As in the previous books, Bridget can lean on old friends Jude, Tom and Talitha, as well as disreputable former paramour Daniel Cleaver.

She navigates the treacherous world of online dating sites and Twitter, and acquires a 29-year-old boyfriend named Roxster.

The book also introduces Mr. Wallaker, a teacher at Bridget’s son’s school with whom she in-stantly clashes.

But wait — is that a spark be-tween them? (Hint: Fielding says her dream casting for a movie ad-aptation is Daniel Craig).

Bridget has always contained el-ements of Fielding, who is 55 and, like her character, lives in one of the nicer areas of North London with two young children.

She is separated from their fa-ther, American comedy writer Kevin Curran.

There are glimpses of Bridget in the writer’s quick wit and sense of the absurd — though Fielding ex-udes a considerably greater sense of control than her hapless hero-ine.

“Mad About the Boy” suffered its own Bridget Jones-style mishap when 40 pages from another book, a memoir by actor David Jason, were inserted into the British edi-tion by mistake.

And some of the reviews have

been less than glowing: not every-one hails mishap-prone, insecure Bridget as a 21st-century heroine. Guardian newspaper columnist Suzanne Moore wrote a piece headlined “Why I Hate Bridget Jones,” condemning the character as “vapid, consumerist and self-obsessed” and the book as anti-feminist.

Fielding has heard that argument before.

She said that if women can’t make fun of themselves, “we haven’t got very far at being equal, have we?”

“And also, I think that is the way women communicate with each other, often, privately. They talk about their frailties, their mess-ups, their weaknesses, their vul-nerabilities, and they are funny about it and they support each other.

“I was surprised with the first book, with the women who told me they identified with it — pow-erful, successful women, saying ‘Oh yes, I have that problem with tights being all tangled up.’ And it’s not just women, either. (Prime Minister) David Cameron was in the papers not so long ago ... and he said that he’d get in a situation when he’s got the kids in the back of the car and he gets a head of state on the phone: ‘Will you shut up, I’ve got the Israeli prime min-ister on the phone!’

“Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy” is published in the United States by Knopf today.

Superman to Asterix: Comics tell immigrant storyPARIS (AP) — Superman and Asterix

have more in common than meets the eye, according to a new exhibit at Paris’ Immi-gration History Museum.

Comic sketches and magazines from 1913 to the present show how comic books the world over were shaped by the immigrant story, from French Asterix’s “foreign” Pol-ish and Italian authors, to American Super-man’s Eastern European co-creators.

Drawing on 500 sketches and documents from some 117 artists, the exhibit opening

Wednesday explains how immigrants on the fringes of society were attracted to the subculture of comic books.

“The whole history of comic books is the history of immigration,” said curator He-lene Bouillon.

Comic characters themselves are also often masked allegories for being foreign, from Asterix, the yellow-haired Gaul who fights Romans and travels around the world, to the alien Kal-El, who tries to live on earth among humans despite his super

powers, the exhibit argues. “Superman is the super immigrant. who

comes from planet Krypton with super powers but who is faced with the feeling of being in exile” Bouillon said.

The exhibit also shows how the medium became more serious in the second half of the 20th century, using the medium to ex-press uncomfortable truths about society’s tolerance.

It includes original illustrations from Iran-born cartoonist Marjane Satrapi’s au-

tobiographical novel “Persepolis,” which tells the bleak story of a young girl fleeing to Europe against the backdrop of the Ira-nian Revolution. A film based on the novel won the Jury Prize at the Cannes film festi-val in 2007.

“This idea of pictures being maybe sim-pler or being caricatures allows some au-thors to say things that would maybe be too awful to put in a novel or in photography,” Bouillon said. “You have to make people laugh to accept the very difficult stories.”

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 19-year-old girl in my third semester of college. My boyfriend, “Tom,” attends a community college nearby. Both of us live with our parents. I have had only three boyfriends in my life, and Tom was my high school sweetheart.

Tom just proposed. I im-mediately accepted, but now I’m second-guessing my de-cision. We’re just starting our adult lives, and I’m still learning what that entails. I want to study abroad dur-ing college to enhance my experience of the world. Also, because neither of us has ever moved beyond our childhood homes, I think we should both have more exposure about the world beyond.

Everyone is supportive of us, including our parents. I will always be committed to Tom and I trust him com-pletely, but I feel that by pre-maturely locking ourselves in, we’re setting ourselves up for failure. Am I overre-acting?

- FLEDGLING FIANCEE IN LOUISIANA

DEAR FIANCEE: Not at all. The points you have made in your let-ter are well-reasoned. You ARE very young to

be making a permanent commitment, and you’re both entering a period of growth -- and possible di-vergence in your level of life experience. Tom may have proposed because he was afraid if he didn’t, he might lose you now that you’re attending different schools.

Tell Tom you care for him deeply, but think you jumped the gun. Make it clear that you would like to keep seeing him, but on a nonexclusive basis un-til you return from your studies abroad. I agree that by prematurely lock-ing yourselves in, the odds of the relationship not lasting are high. Be sure Tom understands that you aren’t trying to end the relationship, only postponing the engage-ment.

DEAR ABBY: I was always

a laid-back and easygoing person. But I was in a ter-rible car accident, and ever since I have suffered from post-traumatic stress disor-

der. I have received counsel-ing and function pretty well as long as I remain in a calm environment.

My problem is that my husband’s family comes to visit each year for anywhere from four to eight days, and when they’re here my stress level is very high. Their last three visits resulted in my getting migraine headaches, which I had never experi-enced before, as well as TMJ (pain in my jaw) and painful neuropathy, which the doc-tor explained was brought on by stress. It has lasted two months.

I like my in-laws, but I am unwilling to deal with more pain as a result of their visits. My husband doesn’t want to send them to a hotel, which I understand. Therefore, I feel that since this is MY prob-lem, I should move to a hotel during their visits. What do you think, Abby?

- PUSHED TO THE LIMIT

DEAR PUSHED: Unless this is handled delicately -- and by that I mean care-

fully explained to your husband’s family -- it could cause hurt feelings. Surely your in-laws are aware of your car accident. What they may not be aware of is the lingering damage it has caused. Your hus-band should explain this to his relatives and ask if they would mind staying elsewhere BECAUSE OF YOUR MEDICAL CON-DITION.

If you can tolerate their “tumult” on a limited ba-sis, this might solve the problem. If not, then I agree you should stay else-where so they can have a good time together. How-ever, this should happen with full disclosure and preferably no hard feel-ings. If you can see any of them individually for a short time, you should make every effort so they won’t feel you are avoid-ing them for any other rea-son.

CrosswordBy Eugene Sheffer

HoroscopesFor Wednesday:ARIES (March 21-April

19): Emotional changes are inevitable and can turn out beneficial if you are honest about the way you feel and precise in how you express what you want. Making de-mands will work against you, but using diplomacy will lead to resolutions. ***

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Mix the old with the new. Reunite with people and places from your past and you will gain better per-spective regarding a part-nership or situation you face now. Speak from the heart, but make it clear what you expect and want to see hap-pen. ****

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Keep your wits about you. Listen carefully and respond precisely. Misin-terpretation is likely if you aren’t clear regarding what you want. Back away from

aggressive action. A rela-tionship problem is likely to surface due to a misunder-standing. **

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Make special plans with someone you love. Use past references to please some-one now. Engage in creative thinking and participate in something unusual, and you will have a better idea what you want to pursue in the future. Avoid rash decisions. **

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may be held accountable for someone else’s mistake, problem, or responsibility. Be clear regarding what you can or can’t do. Stand firm on financial issues. Money and opportunity will come from a most unusual source. Love is highlighted. ***

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll be in control as long as you are relentless when it comes to decisions

and dealing with matters that can alter your business or personal relationships. One of your peers may not tell you the whole truth. Ex-plore a creative endeavor. ***

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Follow your heart, but do not overreact if uncertainty hits. Step back and look at how you can take advantage of whatever situation you face. Taking a unique approach to an old problem will lead to positive change. ***

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Open your mind and share your thoughts and emotions with someone you feel close to. Interesting changes at home will bring you closer to someone you care about. Show your will-ingness to help and support others and you will be re-warded. *****

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be quick to make

your move, especially when it concerns your personal or domestic life. Don’t let emo-tional manipulation lead to making a poor decision. Em-brace change and do what’s best for you. Make physical improvements that boost your confidence. **

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Use your charm to win the confidence and re-spect of whomever you are dealing with. Keep an open mind and do your best to avoid overreacting to a situ-ation that is inevitable. A change of heart could cause a poor decision. ****

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Keep a close watch over what others do and say. Protect your interests and guard against anyone try-ing to manipulate your situ-ation. Be prepared to make whatever changes are nec-essary in order to keep mov-ing in the direction of your

choice. ***PISCES (Feb. 19-March

20): Matters pertaining to relationships of the heart will be difficult to deal with. You will not get a clear pic-

ture regarding how someone feels and must take precau-tions to protect your emo-tional, physical and financial well-being. ***

Oil falls below $102 as U.S. debt deal awaitedOil fell back below $102 a bar-

rel today as negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program got underway in Geneva, and U.S. lawmakers tried to hammer out an agreement to raise the government’s borrowing limit and avoid a possible default.

By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark crude for November

delivery was down 93 cents to $101.48 a barrel in electronic trad-ing on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract gained 39 cents to close at $102.41 on Mon-day.

The oil price has swung back and forth for days as lawmakers attempt to resolve an impasse that

has left the government partially closed and the markets worried about the U.S. defaulting on its debt for the first time. The U.S. has to increase the amount of debt it can sell by Oct. 17.

In the United States, Democrat and Republican Senate leaders could seal an agreement on Tues-

day, which would reportedly allow the government to reopen through Jan. 15 and permit the Treasury to borrow normally until early to mid-February.

“Expectations are still that the U.S. will come to a last-minute agreement for an extension,” said analyst Olivier Jakob of Petroma-

trix in Switzerland.Traders are speculating about the

end of U.S.-led sanctions against Iran further down the road, allow-ing Tehran to increase oil exports which have fallen by over 1 million barrels a day over the past two years
