Dear Gus,

I’m taking time off this week and Mom has been generous enough to stay on full-time Gus duty, so this morning I met Conor at Mylo for a writing session, then I went to North Bar for lunch and more writing until they closed. Afterward, I followed my old high school buddy Kyle to catch up with him and his family for a bit. 

Back when I was in junior high school, we would tie a rope to the back of my bicycle and I would pull Kyle and Rory on their Rollerblades all over the streets of Beebe. When I think about what it meant to grow up with friends in Beebe, those summer days are generally what I think of first.

NOTE TO SELF: I had a steak craving, so I honestly sat in a parking lot and tried to come up with a place in North Little Rock that might have a decent steak. I ended up at Texas Roadhouse. Ate four rolls with honey/cinnamon butter, too. Wasn’t worth it. Cheap ingredients, fatty steak. Probably going to launch a full campaign to convince Dismang he needs a steak on the menu at North Bar.

Currently ranked fourth of six August meals.

Ex-New York Giants Offensive Lineman Dies of Heatstroke at Age 32Offensive lineman Mitch Petrus, a walk-on at Arkansas who went on to a three-year NFL career that included a Super Bowl win with the New York Giants, has died. He was 32. Pulaski County Coroner Gerone Hobbs said Petrus died of heat stroke Thursday night at a North Little Rock hospital after working outside that day at his family’s shop near his hometown of Carlisle, which is about 35 miles (55 kilometers) east of Little Rock. Like much of the country, Arkansas is in the grips of an intense heat wave. The heat index — the temperature it felt like — in the area where Petrus was working on Thursday was higher than 100 degrees (38 Celsius), according to the National Weather Service. Petrus played tight end in high school before switching to fullback and then offensive guard for the Razorbacks. Houston Nutt, who coached Arkansas for 10 seasons, said Petrus took those changes in stride. “He had this attitude of a little boy waking up for Christmas every day, every time he came to the field,” Nutt told Little Rock TV station KARK on Friday. During his college career, Petrus played alongside Razorback greats Darren McFadden and Felix Jones and later earned all-Southeastern Conference honors. McFadden told KARK that he was stunned by Petrus’ death. “He was a joy to be around. He’d put a smile on anybody’s face, brighten up any room that he walks into,” McFadden said. Petrus was drafted by the Giants in the fifth round in 2010 and got into 11 regular-season games his rookie year, with no starts. In his second season, Petrus played in six regular-season games, starting three of them, as the Giants went on to win the Super Bowl. He played six games for the Giants the following season before being released. He was picked up by New England and played two games for the Patriots before being released. Tennessee then signed him and he played two games for the Titans before the team released him the following March. “We are saddened to hear of Mitch’s passing,” the Giants said in a statement. “Our thoughts go out to Mitch’s family and friends.” His college program also tweeted its condolences: “We are deeply saddened by the passing of Mitch Petrus. He was an outstanding competitor, incredible teammate and a true Hog. He will be greatly missed by many. Rest easy Mitch.” After retiring from the NFL in 2013, Petrus returned to Arkansas, where he was well-known and often appeared as a studio analyst and sidelines reporter during televised high school football games, sometimes wearing goofy wigs or costumes on camera. He also had an interest in politics, serving as Republican state Sen. Dismang’s chief of staff during the Legislature’s 2018 session, when Dismang was the chamber’s president. Petrus was known among teammates and friends for his enthusiasm, upbeat attitude and strength, both on and off the field, Nutt said. “When he went to attack a linebacker or a down lineman, he did it with extreme violence and passion and energy,” Nutt said. “And he’ll help pick the guy up, but he was gonna hit you, and hit you time and time again, and he did it with a smile on his face.” Keyless entry doors Los Angeles #cctv #hikvision #securitycameras #securitycamerainstallation #securitycamerainstaller #securitycamerainstalls

God and guns

Session wraps up, 30 Crossing and more.

Quote of the Week:

"Where I'm from, the God I serve does not tell me that I have a fundamental right to carry a gun. ... Go to hell with your guns. I'm voting for the damn bill. I don't want to."

— State Sen. Stephanie Flowers (D-Pine Bluff), unhappily endorsing a narrow exemption from the new "enhanced carry" statute allowing concealed weapons to be brought onto Arkansas college campuses and other places. The exemption bill, which was sponsored by Sen. Jonathan Dismang (R-Beebe), at least allows handguns to be banned from college athletic events. It passed the legislature at the urging of the Southestern Conference, despite opposition from the National Rifle Association. Flowers directed her frustrated remarks at NRA darling Sen. Trent Garner (R-El Dorado), who opposed the exemption and spoke passionately on the "God-given" right to carry a gun.

Session wraps up

On Monday, the 2017 regular session of the legislature finally came to an end (barring any surprises between now and formal adjournment in May). Among the worst of the last-minute actions was passage of House Bill 1742, which will put a stop to class-action lawsuits under the Deceptive Trade Practices Act — bad news for Arkansas consumers, good news for the unscrupulous businesses that prey on them. Then there's Senate Bill 550, which enhances criminal penalties for "mass picketing," a term defined broadly enough to include peaceful protests.

Still, be thankful that some of the most awful bills of 2017 were blocked in the last weeks of the session. A renewed attempt to create a pilot program to establish a school voucher system failed in the House on a 43-50 vote. An anti-transgender "bathroom bill" by Sen. Linda Collins-Smith (R-Pocahontas) never made it out of a Senate committee, and neither did a more modest (but still objectionable) measure by Rep. Bob Ballinger (R-Hindsville). Though other FOIA exemptions passed, the worst of them did not; that would be a bill by Sen. Bart Hester (R-Cave Springs) to exempt from the Freedom of Information Act any communications between an attorney and a public client. A kooky measure by Sen. Jason Rapert (R-Conway) urging Congress to propose a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage was defeated in the House, 50-25.

Also defeated, though, were two decent tax measures. The House refused to reconsider a proposal by Rep. Dan Douglas (R-Bentonville) to give voters the option of approving a higher gas tax to pay for much-needed road repairs. And on Monday, shortly before adjourning, it voted down legislation aimed at making internet-based vendors collect sales taxes. State revenue — who needs it?

Public hearing set on 30 Crossing

The board of Metroplan, Central Arkansas's regional transportation authority, voted to hold a public hearing on the controversial proposal to expand a seven-mile stretch of Interstate 30 in Little Rock and North Little Rock. The Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department's 30 Crossing project — which would pour several additional lanes of concrete through the downtown area — would require the Metroplan board to amend its federally mandated long-range transportation planning document. Metroplan Executive Director Tab Townsell said the significance of the $650 million project demanded a hearing. "If we are the ultimate decision- makers, we should be the ones who hear directly from the public," Townsell said.

The winds of change on climate

Ted Thomas, chairman of the Arkansas Public Service Commission, gained some national attention for remarks at a meeting of state electricity regulators in which he criticized climate policy inaction from the White House and Congress. A former Republican legislator, Thomas was appointed to the PSC by Governor Hutchinson and has been critical of Obama-era regulations — but like many energy insiders, he knows President Trump's talk of bringing back coal jobs makes no sense. "I think that carbon emissions are correlated with global temperature increase, and humans are causing enough of it that it's a public policy problem," Thomas told The Atlantic in a follow-up interview.

Searching for a millionaire

A winning $177 million lottery ticket in the multistate MegaMillions drawing was sold at a Valero gas station in Stuttgart, the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery confirmed over the weekend. The prize is payable as a lump sum of $107 million, although state and federal taxes will knock off almost $50 million from that amount. As of Tuesday, no winner had stepped forward to claim the jackpot. He or she has 180 days to do so.

Former NFL lineman, Super Bowl champion Mitch Petrus dies of heatstroke at age 32

Former NFL offensive lineman Mitch Petrus died Thursday night in Arkansas due to heatstroke, officials said. The former Super Bowl champion was 32 years old.

Petrus fell ill Thursday evening after working outside at his parents’ shop in Lonoke County, Pulaski County Coroner Gerone Hobbs said. He was taken to Baptist Health Medical Center in North Little Rock just before 9 p.m. and was pronounced dead just before midnight, Hobbs said.

Temperatures in the area reached 92 degrees during the day, and a heat advisory was in effect in Arkansas when Petrus became ill. When the body’s temperature rises faster than it can cool down, “heatstroke” occurs, potentially damaging the brain and other vital organs.

Petrus’ mother told the coroner that her son had been drinking water while working outside but did not get enough electrolytes. Petrus did not appear to have any pre-existing conditions, Hobbs said.

Son of Sue and Phil Petrus, the former offensive lineman lived in Carlisle, Arkansas, according to the New York Giants website. Petrus played for Carlisle High School and then for the Hogs, the University of Arkansas Razorbacks football team, where he graduated in 2009 with a degree in agricultural business.

He contributed to the New York Giants’ nail-biting Super Bowl defeat of the New England Patriots, 21-17, in February 2012. Petrus also played for the Tennessee Titans and the Patriots before retiring from the NFL in 2013.

Suggesting that he could have made “a nice living in the Ultimate Fight Championship circuit,” the Giants’ website noted that Petrus “had to fight for everything he has earned on the football field.”

On Twitter, Petrus described himself as a “bass player for my band Vikings of the North Atlantic” and said he served as an assistant to state Sen. Jonathan Dismang during the Legislature’s 2018 session.

Reactions to Petrus’ death included warnings about heatstroke, which is potentially fatal.

In addition to a high body temperature, warning signs of heat illness include hot, red, dry or damp skin and a fast, strong pulse, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Later symptoms might involve headache, dizziness, nausea, feeling confused and losing consciousness (passing out). Extreme dehydration is also part of the heatstroke equation.

A cascade of physiological events occurs when a patient’s organs begin to shut down, the body is no longer able to regulate blood pressure, and blood does not coagulate. Many patients experience alterations in consciousness.

Treatment is all about rapidly cooling and rehydrating to lower body temperature as quickly as possible. Ice baths, ice packs and fans are all useful.

Generally, people who work outside or exercise a lot are more acclimated to the heat and therefore less likely to succumb to illness. That said, anyone exposed to hot weather for too long can become sick.

Along with becoming acclimated to the weather, a person who wishes to avoid heatstroke can wear loose-fitting clothing while in the sun, drink plenty of water and take it easy during the hottest part of the day.

Dear child(ren),

My high school friend Kyle and another guy we went to high school with opened a bar in Park Hill called North Bar. Despite the strong grip your mother and I still have on sobriety, we stopped in for dinner tonight and ate at the bar. It’s good to see Kyle doing well, and it’s good to see booze in Park Hill. If I go missing shortly after you arrive, check this place.
