Keeping Arkansas Beautiful


It's a pretty lively Friday here in the Channel 7 Newsroom. I don't know if everyone is just excited about weekend or if the heat is finally getting to us, but there's lots of activity here. I, for one, am excited about the weekend. There's just something about a Saturday in the summer that is so fabulous.

But I digress, I've got a story left to do before I get to Saturday. A viewer actually came up with today's topic, which I think should be interesting. Apparently the Arkansas Highway Department has a wildflower program which preserves the naturally growing flowers on our interstates and highways and also plants new ones. I actually had no idea those flowers were put there on purpose or that they reduce long term maintenance costs.

So that's what we have going today. I'm hoping to post CYN options for Monday this evening, so you will be able to vote all weekend.

lOOKS LIKE THIS MIGHT MAKE A GOOD STORY- NEW COMPANY APPEARS TO BE MAKING STRIDES TO COME TO DUMAS ARKANSAS. - WHAT ABOUT A STORY ON THIS. SEE BELOW ---------------------

SymPowerco Corporation CEO John Davenport announced today that the company's discussions to acquire majority interests in Highline Hydrogen Hybrids, Inc. ("HHHI") and Hoss Motor Sports, Inc. ("HMSI") have reached an advanced stage and that SymPowerco, HMSI and HHHI have exchanged comprehensive documents detailing the scope and terms of multi-level acquisition agreements. Both HMSI and HHHI are rapidly completing their moves to larger facilities in Dumas, Arkansas. Full-scale production is expected to start for both companies at their new facilities later this summer. The companies are engaged in several initiatives to expand the markets for their products, to increase their product lines and to expand the intellectual property bases associated with their respective products.

HHHI has developed a unique supplemental hydrogen fuel system for Internal Combustion Engines that reduces dangerous emissions, enhances fuel efficiency by as much as 25% and increases horsepower by an average of 10%. HHHI plans to release a version of its supplemental fuel system for use on Over-The-Road commercial vehicles.

Hoss Motor Sports Inc. intends to produce several types of Off Road Utility Vehicles at its new Dumas, Arkansas site including vehicles designed specifically for Search and Rescue, Construction Sites and for Sport Utility and Off Road Enthusiast markets.

SymPowerco Corporation develops advanced fuel cell and power delivery systems for the rapidly growing personal transportation and portable power system markets being created by today's energy and environmental challenges. HMSI and HHHI offer potentially expansive synergies and marketing opportunities with SymPowerco's Flowing Electrolyte Direct Methanol Fuel Cell and Hybrid Power System technologies.
