In August of 1987, two teenage boys were hit by a freight train in the woods of Arkansas. What was originally believed to be a tragic accident quickly evolved into a controversial case believed now to be a homicide cover up.

Ep 303 | Aired 7/1/2022 This week on Up In Your Business with Kerry McCoy we tune in for a tribute to two influential voices in the history of Arkansas news and publishing, Mr. Alan Leveritt, founder of the Arkansas Times, and Ms. Olivia Farrell, former CEO of Arkansas Business Publishing Group. Leveritt started the Times as a rebuttal to the buyout and merger of the Arkansas Gazette with the conservative afternoon newspaper, the Arkansas Democrat, thus forming what we know today as the Arkansas Democrat Gazette. Farrell, a successful businesswoman, made her fame when she donned the cover of the 1977 Arkansas Times, “Living It Up in High Style” edition with a lit joint. Learn how Olivia went from the cover to the corporate as CEO of Arkansas Business Publishing Group. And how Alan led the Times through the dotcom boom; a deadly era for many local papers.

Join author Denise Parkinson for an intimate look at a Depression-era tragedy. The once-thriving houseboat communities along Arkansas' White River are long gone, and few remember the sensational murder story that set local darling Helen Spence on a tragic path. In 1931, Spence shocked Arkansas when she avenged her father's murder in a DeWitt courtroom. The state soon discovered that no prison could hold her. For the first time, prison records are unveiled to provide an essential portrait. The legend of Helen Spence refuses to be forgotten--despite her unmarked grave. Denise Parkinson is a freelance writer living in Hot Springs, Arkansas. A graduate of Hendrix College, Parkinson's writing appears in a range of publications, including the Arkansas Democrat, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Arkansas Times, Little Rock Free Press, Memphis Flyer and Cooper-Young Lamplighter. Since 2008, she has been the lead writer for Hot Springs Life and Home magazine. Dale Woodiel was born and raised on the banks of the White River in Crockett's Bluff, Arkansas.

Alyson Hoge, a veteran journalist and editor who’s been with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette for more than four decades, became the new managing editor for the news organization at the end of February. Hoge was involved with coverage of mega-stories, like Bill Clinton’s ascent to President of the United States, and horror stories, such as the father who murdered 16 people, including 14 members of his own family. She also was witness to the great newspaper war between the Arkansas Democrat and the Arkansas Gazette throughout the 1980s. That war ultimately resulted in the merger of the two papers to form the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Hoge shares with Capitol & Scott what she hopes to accomplish in her new role, as well as her concerns for the fate of local news in the age of social media, razor-thin margins and waning interest in working in the field among young people.

The entire industry was stunned when WEHCO Media announced they were planning to stop printing their flagship statewide newspaper, The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, and only deliver it to their subscribers via a paid web/ APP based platform. After many market tests, their final solution to keep their audience was to purchase iPads and offer them to their print subscribers for free. Now more than a year later, the paper publishes just one print product a week, while profiting and retaining more than 70 percent of their audiences and saving hundreds of jobs as well. E&P publisher Mike Blinder checks in with Walter E. Hussman Jr., WEHCO’s CEO and publisher of the Democrat-Gazette, to see how the project is going and how they have expanded the concept to other WEHCO properties. Hussman also chats about his thoughts on moving newspapers to non-profit status, surviving in a COVID-19 world, and if Facebook and Google should pay for the content they receive from the news publishing industry.

Ep 194 | Aired 5/27/2020 Today on Up In Your Business with Kerry McCoy, you’ll hear one of my early interviews with newspaper man, entrepreneur and second generation farmer, Mr. Alan Leveritt. In this interview, Alan tells the story of how, in 1974, with only a few friends, he launched the Arkansas Times; a grass roots, alternative monthly magazine about political and cultural news in Arkansas. Alan reminisces about a time when newspapers ruled and recounts stories that are now Arkansas folklore. It is hard to believe, but many people living in Arkansas today don’t know that there was once a nationally publicized, 13-years-long newspaper war between the Arkansas Gazette and the Arkansas Democrat newspapers, which resulted in the closing of the oldest newspaper west of the Mississippi River, the Gazette, in 1991. The winner of that war, the Arkansas Democrat, re-branded itself to what is now the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Alan also speaks to his respect for his competitor, Mr. Walter Hussman, publisher of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, and expresses why he thinks it was - and still is - important to have more than one newspaper voice in a city.

We take a quick walk back to the Newspaper Wars between the Arkansas Democrat and the Arkansas Gazette. Max Brantley provides his take on the battle and also what the future looks like for local journalism.

Walter Hussman, Newspaper Publisher Air Date: Jan. 19. 2018 Walter Hussman has been involved in the newspaper business in Arkansas for all of his adult life.

GOLDEN GLOVES/SILVER GLOVES/CUTMAN Ray Rodgers, who was born in Oklahoma but grew up in Conway, was inducted into the Silver Gloves Hall of Fame in 2001, the Golden Gloves Hall of Fame in 2002 and the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 2007. The late Billy Bock, a 1996 Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame inductee who was a well-known amateur boxer and later was among the pioneers of high school baseball in the state, told the Arkansas Democrat in 1990: “If it weren’t for Ray Rodgers, there would not be boxing left in Little Rock.” Silver Gloves is for amateur fighters ages 10-15. Golden Gloves is for amateur fighters ages 16 and older. Based in part on the Golden Gloves’ tie back to the Chicago Tribune, newspapers long have been among the main sponsors of amateur boxing events. The New York City Golden Gloves tournament, which has been around for 85 years, is sponsored by the Daily News. Rodgers told an interviewer in 2008: “It has a natural attraction to kids who are basically adventuresome and want to do something no one else does. That’s a lot of it. The dynamics of it hooked me in the fifth grade, and I’ve never been out of it one day. “In boxing, as in life and everything else, desire is half the deal. … I’m a great believer in amateur boxing. I think it’s one of the greatest sports ever devised. It’s a cliche, but it’s true. In boxing, you don’t have anybody to hand off to or to lateral or pass it off to. You’re on your own, brother. “The only discipline that lasts is self-discipline. You can stand a kid in a corner and whip his butt with a paddle. But once he learns self-discipline and the desire to do better in the ring, that sticks with him all his life.” Jermain Taylor is the most prominent example of the hundreds of boys (now men) Rodgers has helped through the years. Born in Little Rock in 1978, Taylor and his three younger sisters were abandoned by their father when the future champion was 5. Taylor began boxing at age 13 with Ozell Nelson as his trainer. Taylor’s Olympic bronze medal came in 2000 and his professional boxing debut was on Jan. 27, 2001, at Madison Square Garden against Chris Walsh. As noted in yesterday’s post, Rodgers has served as the cut man in Taylor’s corner throughout Taylor’s professional career. Taylor once said of Rodgers: “He’s the type of guy who comes in the dressing room and makes you feel comfortable. I’ve never seen him mad, not one time, and I’ve known him since I was 12. I’ve never seen him with a mean face. He’s the type of guy who always wants to see you smiling.” Rodgers’ father, who worked for 49 years for an oil company that eventually became part of Mobil, moved the family from Oklahoma to Conway so he could serve as a pump station engineer in Arkansas. Young Ray was already addicted to boxing at the time of the move. Ray Rodgers’ office at the Golden Gloves Education Center, which is adjacent to the Junior Deputy baseball fields just off Cantrell Road in Little Rock, now serves as sort of a museum of this state’s boxing history. There is, for example, a photo of Bock and Rodgers in 1959 at the state AAU boxing tournament with Miss Arkansas in between. “We were her escorts,” Rodgers says. Famous names in Arkansas business, sports and politics crop up as you look at the programs and bout sheets Rodgers has collected through the years. For instance, Buddy Coleman of Little Rock was the state AAU boxing chairman one year. Rodgers delights in talking about his 14-year amateur boxing career, delivering pithy quotes such as this one: “My left jab was so good the judges thought the other guy was sucking my thumb.” The Arkansas River Valley — from Fort Smith all the way down to Little Rock –was a boxing hotbed in those days. Rodgers tells of going across a low-water bridge to make it to a boxing tournament at Oark (not Ozark!) in the Ozark Mountains north of Clarksville. Places like Clarksville and Coal Hill produced good amateur boxers. The Subiaco Abbey, built in 1878 and associated with the Benedictine Order, was the home of many talented boxers. Wherever amateur tournaments were held across the state, you knew the boys from Subiaco Academy would be there and compete hard. Rodgers’ home ring was at the National Guard Armory in Conway, where he boxed for a coach known as “Slow John” Cole. Rodgers went by the nickname “Butterball.” He continued to box competitively through graduation from Conway High School and Arkansas State Teachers College, now the University of Central Arkansas. “I had deceptive speed in those days,” Rodgers says. “I was slower than I looked.” At age 16, Rodgers also began coaching younger boxers. In 1958, he sent his first boxer to the national Golden Gloves tournament in Chicago. Rodgers graduated from college in August 1960, becoming the first member of his family to earn a degree. He got married two weeks after graduation and moved to Little Rock to take a job with Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. Rodgers fought his last fight in 1961 at the Mid-Arkansas Golden Gloves Tournament, but a lifetime of being involved in boxing was just starting. He has worked with young boxers at various locations through the years, even using a gym that Gary Hogan, who loves the sport as much as Rodgers, once operated in downtown Little Rock. In 1988, Rodgers raised private funds so he could transform a metal building next to the Junior Deputy baseball complex into a gym. It has been the home of the Ray Rodgers Boxing Club ever since. In 2009, he turned the adjacent building into the Golden Gloves Education Center so his boxers would have a quiet place to study. Rodgers has brought a number of legendary boxers to Little Rock through the years to promote the sport and help him raise money. Ali visited in 1990. Joe Frazier and Floyd Patterson also have visited the state’s capital city at Rodgers’ invitation. Rodgers has had his share of tragedies. In 1987, his wife Sally, a constant presence with him at boxing tournaments, died of breast cancer. His current wife, Carole, whom he married in December 2005, now helps him run amateur tournaments. Rodgers’ daughter Dawn battled brain cancer for 11 years before passing away in 2005. Last year, Rodgers finally shut down his business, Mid-South Drywall. “I’m not getting any younger,” he says. On one wall of Rodgers’ office is a tribute to Stan Gallup, the longtime Golden Gloves executive director who died in February 2009 while accompanying the Kentucky Wesleyan basketball team (his son was the school’s athletic director) to an away game It says “Stan Gallup, 1922-2009, Father of Modern Golden Gloves.” Rodgers calls Gallup “a mentor.” I happen to think Arkansas’ own Ray Rodgers has just as much a right as Gallup to that title of “Father of Modern Golden Gloves.”

In this August 2016 conversation, Roby Brock, founder and President of River Rock Communications and host of "Talk Business & Politics", talks with John Brummett, columnist for the "Arkansas Democrat-Gazette", about his Howard County, Arkansas, roots; growing up in Little Rock; his father's religious conversion and his own loss of religion; his early years as a sports reporter for the "Arkansas Democrat"; experiences as a political reporter covering Bill Clinton; and his later years as a columnist for the "Arkansas Democrat-Gazette".
