<div>Bill Valentine was born in Little Rock, Arkansas on November 21, 1932 to William Terry Valentine Sr. and Margaret Kremer Valentine. While growing up on West 11th Street in Little Rock, Bill worked at Traveler field and began umpiring games at fourteen. Valentine continued to umpire in the Central Arkansas League and the Little Rock Associated Amateurs League. He graduated in 1950 from North Little Rock High School and chose to attend a training school for professional baseball umpires in Daytona Beach, Florida after turning down a journalism scholarship to the Arkansas State Teachers College. Valentine became the youngest umpire in the history of professional baseball as he finished school at eighteen. <br />
<br />
Valentine was a professional umpire for eighteen years with the Ohio-Indiana League, Texas League, and the American League. He umpired for the Major League All-Star Game in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1965. Valentine was known for being one of the two umpires to ever throw Mickey Mantle out of a ballgame. He also was known for ejecting Dave Wickersham of the Detroit Tigers in 1964 for grabbing him on the shoulder which violated a rule against touching umpires. Valentine also found time to referee basketball games. The National League umpires organized a union in 1963 after being unhappy with insufficient pay raises and uncalled for terminations. When Valentine was found to be involved with these activities in 1968 he was fired. Throughout the seventies, Valentine became a radio announcer for the Arkansas Travelers games. Valentine replaced Carl Sawatski as the general manager of the Travelers in 1975. Valentine promoted the games as the “The Greatest Show on Dirt.”<br />
<br />
At the age of nineteen, Bill married Ellouise Pefferly on December 21, 1951. They remained married until she passed away in 1989. He later went on to marry in 1991 to Nena Duncan. <br />
<br />
In 2003 Valentine was inducted in the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame, the Arkanasas Officials Association Hall of Fame in 1998 and the Texas League Hall of Fame in 2004.</div>MeganDavarihttps://honors.uca.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Debra_Wood&diff=3161Debra Wood2008-03-12T10:50:43Z<p>MeganDavari: </p>

<div>Debra Wood is the current owner of [[River Market ArtSpace]] located one-half mile from the [[Clinton Presidential Library]]. She grew up in North Little Rock, Arkansas and later went on to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music and Theater from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Wood continued her education at the American University in Washington, D.C. While in graduate school, Wood interned at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Smithsonian Institution, Wolf Trap Farm Park for the Performing Arts, and Arena Stage. Wood had recently earned her Master’s Degree in Performing Arts Management when then Governor [[Bill Clinton]] was elected to be President. Because of Clinton, Wood became the Director of Presidential Student Correspondence for 8 years at the White House. <br />
<br />
When Wood returned to her home of Arkansas, she attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the [[Clinton Presidential Library]]. After the ceremony she went into the River Market ArtSpace, which was then owned by [[Susan Strauss]]. Strauss overheard Wood talking that night about the hopes of having a gallery of her own and later offered to sell. Within six months, ArtSpace was under the new ownership of Debra Wood. <br />
<br />
Debra Wood who is now 41 runs ArtSpace without any employees, yet always has the company of her dog, [[Musby]]. Musby is always at the gallery carrying the title of “director of customer service”, and is an artist herself as she paints paw prints with acrylics and watercolors. <br />
<br />
One of Wood’s many successes includes the collaborated concept of [[Second Friday Art Night]], the monthly event which allows art patrons to travel by trolley to visit several downtown galleries. Wood donates a certain portion of the proceeds from Art Night to the Humane Society, the Pulaski County Juvenile Detention Center’s Art Outreach Program, and other local nonprofit organizations.<br />

<div>'''River Market ArtSpace''' is a gallery owned by [[Debra Wood]] featuring contemporary works by local Arkansas artists. The gallery was the first retail shop to open, in October 1997, in the revitalized [[River Market District]].<br />
<br />
River Market ArtSpace is located in the old [[Galaxy Office Furniture]] building at the corner of Markham and Cumberland streets. The founder of River Market ArtSpace is [[Susan Strauss]].<br />
<br />
'''River Market ArtSpace''' located in downtown Little Rock was established in 1997 by [[Susan Strauss]]. The 3,300 square foot gallery was reconstructed in 1916 by the architect [[Charles L. Thompson]]. Since 1916, the building has been home to [[Hollis and Company Mill Supplies]], the [[General Electric Supply Company]], [[Wooley Electric Company]], [[Arkansas Radio and Appliance Company]], [[Dailey Office Furniture Store], [[The Ellis Melton Company]], [[Paul Morrell Formal Wear]],[[ Copy Systems]], and also the [[Galaxy Furniture Company]]. The River Market ArtSpace was purchased by the present owner, [[Debra Wood]] in June of 2002. The gallery has works of art in oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel, mixed media, wood, sculpture, metal, and basketry, featured by over 100 artists. Approximately 90% of the artwork is done by Arkansas artists, and none of the art is imported from outside countries. To maintain the variety of displays, the owner and assistants travel all over the state to try to find the best artists. The traditional to contemporary artwork participates in the 2nd Friday Art Night once a month downtown from 5-8 p.m. along with [[Ten Thousand Villages]], [[Arkansas Art Center]], [[Cox Creative Center]], [[Hearne Fine Art]], and the [[Historic Arkansas Museum]]. ArtSpace is a member of Americans for the Arts, Arkansas Arts Center, Craft Retailers Association for Tomorrow, Historic Arkansas Museum, American Style Preferred Gallery Program, and American Craft Council.<br />

<div>]The '''Arkansas River Trail''' (or as it is also known, the Millennium Trail) is an ongoing project in the Little Rock and North Little Rock, AR, areas. It is paved with asphalt, making it very accessible to cyclists, walkers, joggers, and runners alike. With its friendly environment and beautiful scenery, including an overlook of the Arkansas River from on top of the [[Big Dam Bridge]] (otherwise known as the [[Pulaski County Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge]]), the River Trail has become a very popular attraction for the local population, sight seers and tourists. The trail is traffic-free for the vast majority of the trail. The traffic is limited to parking areas for all of those who would be visiting the trail. <br />
<br />
The trail is planned to be completed sometime in 2008, when it will reach a stretch of 24 miles, while circling around the Little Rock, North Little Rock, and the Big Dam Bridge. The trail begins and ends at the [[Clinton Presidential Library]] in the [[River Market District]], but the greatest attraction is atop the Big Dam Bridge, which stretches over the Arkansas River; which sees hundreds of visitors each day. The trail in itself is very peaceful and quiet, except for the roars of the dam located on the river. The River Trail will eventually cross the Rock Junction and Junction Bridges, the funding being paid for by the [[Clinton Foundation]]. The trail is also looking to acquire land near the Union Pacific railroad. Union Pacific has given their provisional acceptance for the building of a small bridge near the station. <br />

<div>The Arkansas Clean Air Act began as Senate Bill 19 when it passed on April 7. 2006 and went into effect July 21, 2006. Act 8 prohibits smoking in most public and private workplaces in order to protect children and the general public from the dangers of second hand smoke. Act 8 makes it a violation for anyone to smoke in a motor vehicle in the presence of any child that is in a car seat. Violations of Act 13 will result in a $25 fine or the offender must attend a smoking cessation program. Violations of Act 8 can reasult in the employer being subjected to civil, criminal and regulatory penalties prosecuted by the local law enforcement. The law is monitored by the Arkansas State Board of Health and can charge up to $1,000.00 per violation. If the Act is violated, the license of the business can be revoked. <br />
<br />
Act 8 prohibits smoking in “enclosed areas” which are defined as spaces that are enclosed on all sides by walls or windows. The enclosed areas include common work areas, auditoriums, classrooms, conference rooms, private offices, elevators, hallways, health care facilities, cafeterias, meeting rooms, employee lounges, stairs, and restrooms. Exceptions to the law allow smoking in retail tobacco stores, private residences, workplaces will fewer that three employees, outdoor areas of any place of employment (excluding health care facilities, schools and daycares), hotel and motel rooms designated as smoking rooms, and restaurants or bars licensed by the State of Arkansas. The restaurants or bars must prohibit anyone under the age of 21 (customers and employees) from entering the establishment. <br />
<br />
Arkansas is the seventeenth station in the United States to enforce an act that ensures smoke-free workplaces. The consequences of secondhand smoke involve serious health hazard. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, secondhand smoke caused 2,00 lung cancer deaths per year and 35,052 deaths from heart attacks per year between 1997 and 2001. <br />
<br />
Many business owners were worried that their establishment would suffer from Act 13 being enforced but according to a study in Fayetteville, “there is no discernable difference between Fayetteville’s economic growth path prior to and since the institution of the smoke-free ordinance. In fact, for the year of 2005, same-store sales at restaurants open at least a year increased %15. The director of Jacksonville Parks and Recreation and also a member of the Governor’s Council on Fitness, George Biggs stated “Smoke-free workplaces can only help the overall health of our community.</div>MeganDavarihttps://honors.uca.edu/wiki/index.php?title=File:P1010332_1.JPG&diff=1368File:P1010332 1.JPG2008-02-02T19:55:59Z<p>MeganDavari: </p>

<div>'''Sticky Fingerz''' is a restaurant and live music venue in downtown Little Rock.<br />
<br />
Sticky Fingerz Chicken Shack was established by [[Chris King]] and [[Suzon Awbrey]] in 2000. Sticky Fingerz is not only a restaurant specializing in gourmet, hand-rolled chicken but also a well-known venue. Live music plays Tuesday through Saturday, featuring both local musicians and others from around the country. The genre of music playing ranges from bluegrass to hip-hop to Guns & Roses tributes to ensure there is something for everybody. Sticky Fingerz is conveniently located in Little Rock’s River Market District. The building stands out with its colorful front doors with a sign overhead reading, “If dreams were thunder and lightening were desire, this old house would have burned down a long time ago.” <br />
The shack has a slightly different vibe than it did when it first opened due to the passing of [[Senate Bill 19]], which passed with a 29-3 vote. After the new Arkansas smoking laws went into effect in 2006, only those at least 21 years of age were allowed in Sticky Fingerz. Arkansas is the 17th state to put smoke-free legislation into place.<br />
A new venture from the owners the Sticky Fingers Artist Friendly radio station-THE CHICKEN WIRE. The main site for the business features the calendar for live events, a full menu including specials, and directions to the shack. <br />
