At the Augusta Golf Masters, a shocking moment of truth |

The Pat Summerall story
By David Palmer
Pat Summerall’s epiphany, that moment of truth when he knew that he was in serious trouble with alcohol, came while he was broadcasting the 1992 annual Masters Golf tournament at Augusta, Georgia for CBS. It was something he had done and done impeccably for 24 years.
In a radio interview this year with Dennis Rainey, President of Family Life in Little Rock, Summerall, a former Arkansas Razorback, New York Giant and premiere broadcaster, described his ghastly confrontation with the truth.
“I was staying in Augusta in a strange house…I had a few drinks before I went to bed, and I got sick. I got up at three in the morning, and I went into the bathroom and threw up, and I looked at—this is kind of gross—but I looked at what had come out of me, and I didn’t realize what it was. It was part of my stomach, and it was blood. And I thought, “what the heck, what’s wrong with me?”

A homey Heber Springs refuge offers prison inmates a new start
By David Palmer
Robin Pipkin had been in the Cleburne county jail for almost six months on a drug-related charge when two staff members from the Sugarloaf Center in Heber Springs came to pick her up. It was Friday afternoon, January 16, 2009.
Here’s how Robin remembers it:
“I left jail in thermals and a pair of shorts. That’s all I had. So I came here with no clothes, no money, nothing. Within a week, the Center made sure I had everything I needed and more.
“The first few weeks I was here it was hard. I had been through a lot. I couldn't hold my head up and wouldn’t leave the house for any reason. I even thought of going back to jail.
“But Kelly (Hampton) and Zach (Talbot), two of the Center’s founders, and a counselor, made me hold up my head and talk to people. They also made me head of the kitchen, and one of my duties was to go to the grocery store, which I hated. They also made me “head of house,” and I had to make the chore list and make sure all clients did their part. This was hard for me since I didn't like to confront anyone and liked to be left alone.
“It took me months to start becoming a person again, able to defend myself. When I got to the Center I felt I was a worthless mother, daughter and sister. There wasn't much left of me — just a shell. I would say how worthless I was, and Kelly and Zach would always correct me and remind me that I am a person.

Dentist sponsors program
By David Palmer
Among High School students, alcohol is the most dangerous drug of all. And the most abused. Alcohol is the leading cause of accidents, murder and rape among teens, and it is the main pathway to the abuse of other drugs and further mayhem.
 On an evening in early September, parents of students in three Little Rock private schools filled the auditorium at Catholic High School and spent nearly three hours listening to straight talk on alcohol and other substance abuse from Mike Bosse, a Lexington Kentucky policeman and ex-DEA officer, and Pat Sammons, a professor at the University of Kentucky and a recovering alcoholic himself.

Her spinal cord crushed in auto crash, young woman speaks out on drug abuse |

It was close to midnight on April 10, 2002, when Erin O’Brien, an attractive 22 year-old, left a tavern in West Little Rock, hopped into her bright red Saturn, buckled her seatbelt and headed west on Highway 10. During the evening, O’Brien had three glasses of wine, not much by her standards, but the night before she had partied hard on drugs and alcohol.
 Six miles down the highway, O’Brien lost control of her car, careened into a ditch, rolled the car two or three times and landed upside down. The car roof was crushed and so was O’Brien’s spine. She was conscious and in a lot of pain, but from the waist down she felt nothing. She was paralyzed. She could have been dead, but the one thing she did right was fasten her seatbelt.
