	County Jail Tax, Treasurer To Be Decided Tuesday RISON - The fate of two sales taxes to build and maintain a new county jail, and races for county treasurer and two seats on the Cleveland County Quorum Court will be determined when voters head to the polls for Tuesday’s primary and special election. While Tuesday is the state’s official date for the 2008 primary election, the Cleveland County Quorum Court voted in February to also hold a special election for the proposed county jail on the same day as a way to save on election costs. BAUM-BOUND BABY! - The Woodlawn Bears’ dugout races to the pitcher’s mound to dogpile senior pitcher Daniel Robinson following the final out in Monday’s 6-5 win over the Parker’s Chapel Trojans in the Class 2A semifinals at Taylor Field in Pine Bluff. Robinson (right) simply walked off the mound and collapsed to the ground in relief after the Trojans’ Dyllon Brownmiller hit a sharp line drive to end the game. The victory put the Bears in the Class 2A state title game at Baum Stadium in Fayetteville for the second straight year. Parker’s Chapel defeated Woodlawn, 11-7, for the 2007 state championship. Bears Going Back To Baum! PINE BLUFF - It was payback time Monday afternoon at Taylor Field in Pine Bluff, and the Woodlawn Bears cashed in. After falling to Jake Atwell and the Parker’s Chapel Trojans 11-7 in last year’s Class 2A state championship game, the Bears exacted a little revenge Monday afternoon by erasing an early three-run deficit to beat Atwell and the top-ranked Trojans, 6-5, in the Class 2A semifinals Monday.
