The line is open
Also open, I noticed at the gym this afternoon, is the War Memorial Pool. Good day for it.Abortion doctor slain
George Tiller (pictured in Talking Points Memo photo), a Wichita doctor who was a lightning rod for "pro-life" protesters and who was shot in his clinic in 1993, was slain in his Lutheran church today, news outlets are reporting.
More here from Wichita. NY Times has piece with byline including Joe Stumpe, formerly of D-G.
NY Times says a suspect in custody. UPDATE: Suspect would appear to come from "pro-life" position. There have been many acts of violence and terror by "pro-life" advocates against abortion providers. (Remember locally the Ryder Truck, symbol of the OKC bombing, parked in front of a clinic by a "pro-life" advocate as a little practical joke?) What's the record on choice advocates' acts of violence against anti-abortion advocates?
Foodie alert
KATV reports a fire last night at Klappenbach Bakery, Fordyce's claim to food fame. No word yet on extent of the damage. Updates welcome.
UPDATE: Damage was heavy, but the owner told Channel 7 the business "will survive."
Encyclopedia of Arkansas has this photo of Norm Klappenbach with a cake he made for the Fordyce on the Cotton Belt festival.
Ex-Hog describes cheating
I don't follow sports closely. Maybe I missed this previously. But I noticed on Stephens Media today this story, about former Hog basketball player Patrick Beverley.
Says he left the team because of academic cheating -- turning in a paper written by someone else. The somewhat more incendiary part of the story:
Last week in an interview conducted by DraftExpress.com, Beverley spoke candidly about his Arkansas departure. He admitted being suspended for turning in a paper that wasn’t his work, but indicated he wasn’t the only one to do so.
“It was some things that happened with me and my team,” Beverley told DraftExpress.com. “Someone from Arkansas was doing papers, was doing me and some of my teammates’ papers. Basically, instead of ratting my team out, I just said it was just me and I was forced to have a year of ineligibility.”
The UA's response, that it has thoroughly reviewed the issue, doesn't directly address the question of whether it found or suspects others may have engaged in the practice.
The Catholic Court
When Judge Sonia Sotomayor joins the U.S. Supreme Court, she will be its sixth Catholic. But, as commentators note in this article, there are different types of Catholics. She will not likely join the four-member bloc of movement conservative Catholics -- Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, Alito.
ALSO: Brummett's nationally pitched column, which runs Monday in Arkansas, delves more into the outrage of Newt and similar pegging Sotomayor as a racist.
Musical chairs
Brummett describes the coming shuffle in which most of the current statewide ministerial officeholders expect to move from one term-limited job to another, led by the eternal Charlie Daniels, who'll seek to add a third of the jobs, auditor, to his resume.Saturday, May 30, 2009 - 17:06:17
