| Construction has started on a multi-purpose building on the Saratoga Schools campus. According to Superintendent Max Adcock, one of the main uses of the facility will be elementary physical education. This will serve to greatly reduce the number of trips across busy Highway 355 to the gym for the children. Adcock said the building will also be utilized during inclement weather for students to be active as well as being available for community use. Doyle Howard Construction of Delight is the building contractor. This project is the final phase of a million dollar building program proposed by Adcock and approved by the school board. Other aspects included the turf football field at Mineral Springs, refurbishing and painting the M.H. Peebles Auditorium and painting the Saratoga High School building. Remaining funds will be used to purchase up to three school buses to replace the three oldest buses at Saratoga. |

| The computer lab at the Nelda Wilkinson Educational Center will soon reopen, thanks to a donation by Cossatot Community College of the University of Arkansas’ (CCCUA) Foundation and David Wilkinson, former mayor of Foreman and widower of Nelda Wilkinson, who also served as mayor until her death. Ten computers will soon be purchased and activated for the lab and both credited and non-credited or continuing education classes will be offered. Wilkinson, who served as mayor from February of 2004 until late 2010, says that this gift is a way of keeping his late wife’s wishes. Heading up this project is Mike Cranford, Recorder and Treasurer for the city of Foreman. He is being assisted by the Information Technology Department of Cossatot. Together, they hope to have the lab functional before the end of the spring semester. Pictured is Cossatot Chancellor Steve Cole, Executive Director of the Foundation Melanie Carlton, David Wilkinson, and City of Foreman Recorder and Treasurer Mike Cranford. |
