UAM DEBATE TEAM COMPETES AT LOUISIANA TECH

Photo courtesy of Shawn Curtis PROJECT IS A GO A year ago, Monticello Middle School Environmental And Spatial Technology students Jackson White and Zach Jones had an idea to foster a love of fi shing among students. Their primary focus was fostering that love of fi shing with their classmates with disabilities. The two came up with the project idea to construct a handicapped-accessible dock on the campus pond. They made numerous contacts to get ideal specifi cations, created computer-aided design and drafting drawings of the dock, printed three-dimensional models of the design, presented to the Monticello School Board and raised more than $5,000, making the project fully funded. The next step in the process will be the purchase of the materials and the actual construction of the dock. Top (from left to right): Shawn Curtis, an EAST facilitator, and White accept a $4,000 donation for the dock project from local State Farm Insurance agent Chris Bryant. Interested observers are Jeannie Burnett and French Wynne of Campbell Global, LLC. Bottom: Curtis and White accept a $1,000 donation from Campbell Global from Burnett and Wynne.

Advanced Surgical Skills ... Closer To Home

W hen Josephine Buffington of Monticello found out she had breast cancer, she had only one question for JRMC Surgeon

Michelle Eckert: “What’s our next step?” After surgery and a ten-day

hospital stay, Josephine was ready to recuperate and return to her

normal life, which is exactly what she has done.

“I appreciate the fact that I can come to Pine Bluff and get the kind

of service I received while I was there. I would not hesitate to come

back to JRMC.”

Local Smart Style raises breast cancer awareness in unique way

All photos by Harold Coggins/Advance-Monticellonian START OF A BUSY DAY A steady stream of customers, many of whom have had more than their share of contact with breast cancer through family members, friends or themselves, line up to not only get groomed Saturday but to donate for breast cancer research at the Smart Style salon inside Walmart. The salon was one of more than 7,000 Regis Corporation establishments which participated in the day-long event, at which each salon donated 10 percent of the proceeds from each haircut to support organizations that focus on early diagnosis, prevention, treatment and fi nding a cure for breast cancer.

BY HAROLD COGGINS [email protected] All month, organizations across the city, county and country have been helping the American Cancer Asso- ciation make more people aware of the need for more research into fi nding a cure for all types of cancer, but breast cancer in particular. There have been runs, walks, sidewalk pleas and online methods of getting individu- als to donate to the cause. One of the more unique ways to raise money was held Saturday at the local Smart Style hair salon inside Walmart on U.S. Highway 425. The fi ve stylists—An- gela Bryant, Monique Edington, Ambra Halley, Sonia Potter and Susan Trott—joined some 50,000 others across the United States and Canada for the Regis Cor- poration’s annual Clip for the Cure. Aside from solic- iting donations throughout the months of September and October, Saturday’s event donated 10 percent of the proceeds from each haircut to the Regis Foundation for Breast Cancer Research, which supports organizations that focus on early diagnosis, prevention, treatment and fi nding a cure for breast cancer. “For over 20 years, Regis has been dedicated to fund- PROUD PARTICIPANTS From left to right, Ambra Halley, Sonia Potter, An- ing groundbreaking breast cancer research,” Dan gela Bryant, Susan Trott and Monique Edington help fi ght breast cancer. Hanrahan, CEO and president of Regis Corporation, said in a press release on the company’s website promot- ing the day-long event (clipforthecure.org). “Clip for the Cure is our Foundation’s primary fundraiser. Our stylists and staff work hard, along with our business partners and guests who donate generously, to make every year a success.” As of the end of last year’s campaign, Regis stylists and their guests had raised nearly $12 million for the Re- gis Foundation for Breast Cancer Research. The Foun- dation funds breast cancer research projects at Mayo Clinic and the Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota and supports regional institutions that assist and treat breast cancer patients and survivors. According to the ACA, breast cancer is the most com- mon cancer in American women, except for skin can- cers. Currently, the average risk of a woman in the Unit- ed States developing breast cancer sometime in her life is about 12 percent—but men are not immune to the dis- ease. Although rare, it does occur; in 2017, about 2,470 men are expected to be diagnosed with the disease. There is no known cure for breast cancer but if the stylists at the Monticello Smart Style—and their cus- tomers, many of whom have had up-close-and-personal encounters with this disease—have any say in the mat- ter, there will be one soon.

The fi rst game for the Blossoms will be at the GAC/Mid-Ameri- ca Intercollegiate Athletics Association Challenge against Lincoln University on Nov. 10 in St. Charles, Mo. The fi rst home game is set for Saturday, Nov. 25 against Paul Quinn (Texas) College, and the UAM will play its fi rst GAC contest, also at home, against South- eastern Oklahoma State University on Thursday, Nov. 30. Harding University was selected as the preseason favorite, receiving 11 fi rst- place votes. Tourney for duck hunters established This duck season, Southeast Arkansas hunters will have an opportunity to come together for some unique fellowship and a meaningful purpose. The fi rst-ever “Lucky Limit Challenge” is a competitive tournament for duck hunters; registration for the Jan. 13, 2018 event is open now through the end of December. Winning the challenge will require equal parts skill and luck, but the real winner will be the Robert “Bobby” H. Burch Jr. Endowment for Waterfowl Research fund at the University of Arkansas at Monticel- lo. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the endowment named for Burch, a local dentist and avid waterfowl hunter who passed away in 2015. The tournament is patterned after the “Duck Classic” in Jonesboro, which has been a successful annual event in Northeast Arkansas for 15 years. Each team will be comprised up of four hunters, who must register before Dec. 31. Teams can hunt anywhere within the seven counties generally designated as South- east Arkansas—Ashley, Bradley, Chicot, Cleveland, Desha, Drew and Lincoln. Each team’s morning kills on Jan. 13 will be verifi ed and the ducks logged by species. That evening, the participants will gather for a random drawing which will assign point values to each species. The team with the most points will win a $1,200 cash prize and the large Burch trophy. For more information, contact John McClendon at 870-367-2700 or Chris Sims at 870-723-4089. The contest is for ducks only (no geese, no coots) and the minimum age to participate is 16.

Jeff Young/Advance correspondent TOUGH SLEDDING ALL NIGHT Somewhere in the middle of a bevy of Lumberjack defenders, sophomore Jorden Ollison (8) carves out a few of his team-leading 50 yards rushing Friday night at Warren’s Jim Hurley Jr. Sports Stadium. Monticello’s arch-rival played that type defense throughout the Saline River Shootout, keeping the Billies out of the end zone.
