ARKANSAS TIMES
“The employee/nurse, who didn’t want to comment when contacted afterward by a Kansas City newspaper, did enough to where the girl was breathing and awake upon leaving the baseball stadium.” The to where is a nonstandard, country way of talking, not approved for, and usually not seen in, the newspaper. Where denotes location, not condition. “The nurse did enough so that the girl was breathing and awake ... ” “N.Y.C. Mayor Sent Poisonous Letters.” Not the sort of conduct you’d expect from a high public official. I wonder who he sent those toxic communications to. Bothersome journalists, perhaps. But really, the mayor of New York didn’t send poisonous letters to anybody. He received (“was sent”) poisonous letters. Headline writing is a special kind of writing, and sometimes you can get by with assuming that a verb will be understood by the reader even if it’s not spelled out. But when you end up with a head that literally says exactly the opposite of what you wanted to say, you’d better rewrite. Another question: Whoever sent them, were those letters poisonous or poisoned? The two words don’t always mean the same
thing; a poisonous snake is different from a poisoned snake, and you’d better not forget it. In the case of DOUG the letters, I think SMITH either modifier dougsmith@arktimes.com would do. Poisonous is an adjective that means “full of or containing poison.” Poisoned is the past tense of a verb that means “to put poison into or upon.” “Generally what happens is that, especially as horses are getting more and more lightly raced, they’re still on the improve – more often, I think, now than they used to be.” On the improve? “Improving” would be shorter and simpler. “THE BLOOD BEAST TERROR – In this gory thriller by legendary director Vernon Sewell, a crazed etymologist dabbles in gruesome experiments that turn his beautiful daughter into a vampire beast with an insatiable lust for blood.” Having done a little crazed etymological dabbling myself, and produced no vampire beasts, I’d bet the father in this movie is an entomologist.
WEEK THAT WAS
It was a good week for ... REVIVING THE FIGHT OVER HEALTH CARE EXPANSION. Attorney General Dustin McDaniel approved a proposed referendum from Garland County Tea Partier Glenn Gallas and his group, Arkansans Against Big Government. Gallas hopes to undo expansion. His group needs to collect nearly 47,000 signatures in two months to make the ballot.

Where’s on first
LT. GOV. MARK DARR. During a tour of the Mayflower oil spill, he told KUAR it appeared ExxonMobil had made the area better than it was before. A JOINT ENDORSEMENT. Democratic candidate for governor Mike Ross and Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor John Burkhalter endorsed each other and pledged to work together should they get elected. Ross promised to
create a “Governor’s Cabinet for Economic Development” to work on job creation as one of his first actions as governor. He said he would name Burkhalter to chair the cabinet. ARKANSAS’S CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION. Arkansas’s Republican congressmen, Reps. Tom Cotton, Rick Crawford, Tim Griffin and Steve Womack, voted against a motion by Iraq war veteran Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-Illinois) that would have added language to the National Defense Appropriation Act to give victims of sexual abuse more options in bringing their abusers to trial. EXXONMOBIL. The state of Arkansas and the federal government jointly filed a civil lawsuit against subsidiaries of ExxonMobil seeking civil penalties and injunctive relief. Part of the lawsuit falls under the Arkansas Hazardous Waste Management Act. According to the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), Exxon is storing illegal contaminants near Mayflower in fracking tanks at a site on Highway 36 operated by XTO Energy, an ExxonMobil subsidiary. Teresa Marks, director of ADEQ, said that her agency is concerned that the contaminants are being stored for a duration longer than permitted for hazardous waste.
