Lane has formally announced his candidacy for Yellville mayor. A native of Yellville, Lane attended Yellville-Summit schools through grade school before his family moved to Alaska. Lane's family returned to the area and Lane graduated from Y-S High School in 1987. Lane graduated from North Arkansas Community College in Harrison in 1992. In 1991, Lane graduated from the Harrison Police Department training, course and became a part-time patrol officer for Yellville for six years.

He has been employed full time by Yelcot Telephone Co. since 1991. Lane has been a Yellville volunteer firefighter since 1991 and is assistant chief. In 1997, he became a part-time patrol deputy with the Marion County Sheriff's Office. He eventually became an investigator.

He worked for the sheriff's office for four years. Lane has served as board member for Marion County E- 911 Committee, Yellville Chamber of Commerce and First Service Bank of Marion County and has been a member of the Yellville City Council since 1997. In 1999, Lane was presented with the Outstanding Citizen Award by the chamber of commerce. "As you can see, I have always held multiple jobs," Lane said. "Working days and nights has always been a part of my life.

I enjoy the challenge and I want to make the most of every minute I have on this earth." Lane married Tonya Blair of Cotter in 1993. She is administrative assistant to the YelIville-Summit School District superintendent. They have two daughters, Mckenzi and Ryleigh, who both attend YelIville-Summit schools. Coming from a family of small business entrepreneurs, 'Lane said he knows what struggles are like for small business owners and the hardships they go through trying to operate in a small community. "I feel like the background I have received through my family and the experiences I have had over the past 20 years of being an adult and paying taxes gives me an insight to the business community," Lane said.

"I want to bring to the mayor's office a new and improved outlook on the future. I will bring a positive attitude that will consist of do, will mentality and not the 'wait- and-see This community deserves respect and a chance. I will work hard every day to earn your respect and carry out your wishes for the community." Being an alderman will make the transition to mayor much easier and a time-saving process which can be used to start implementing new ideas already on the table and developing new ones, Lane said. "I am familiar with the employees and their jobs, along with the importance of their service to you," Lane said. "My administration will continue to provide the best of service, and we will continually strive to improve on customer service.

After all, our jobs depend on your satisfaction and your vote."

Cathy Mize was expected to be charged with felony theft of property, according to Baxter County Sheriff's Sgt.

Bob Clippinger at the scene. The woman apparently was dropped off at that address by her boyfriend who told her to steal the car, Clippinger said. She started to take off in the auto, and the family members returning home managed to use their truck to pin the car against a billboard post. Mize apparently hit the truck once or twice, Clippinger said. When the woman's boyfriend saw what was happening, he took off and left her.

Before taking the car, the woman barged into a neighbor's house, Clippinger added. FBI seeks help finding missing girl DUMAS (AP) The FBI on Thursday joined perplexed investigators from Arkansas in the search for a Pine Bluff teenager who disappeared along a busy federal highway after running out of gasoline last weekend. Agents put out a notice nationally seeking information about Casey Crowder, a senior at Watson Chapel High School. Crowder, traveling back from a friend's house in Pickens on Sunday morning, telephoned her mother to say she had run out of gas and would walk to a gas station. She was never heard from again.

Searchers have failed to turn up any sign of the girl. Her car was found along U.S. 65 south of Dumas, with her purse and cell phone gone but a softball bat and glove left behind. The car was out of gas, and its emergency flashers apparently had run the battery down. "I don't know if it's foul play," Desha County Sheriff Don Smith said.

"We have found no evidence to suggest foul play or lead us from it, either one." Dozens of law officers and volunteers have conducted a ground and air search between Pickens and Dumas. Prosecutor Thomas Deen says it was unlikely that Crowder would have voluntarily climbed into a vehicle with a stranger. U.S. 65 is a major route mostly two-lane between Little Rock and Natchez, Miss. Crowder has blonde hair, green eyes, is 5-1 and weighs about 105 pounds.

She also has a pierced navel. LOTTERY LOTTO 4-12-13-15-23-25 Next drawing worth: $2 million. POWERBALL 3-19-33-35-43 Powerball1 Power Play: 4.
