Senators son ‘bakes’ way
into own cookie business
Hours of recipe experiments bring success
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) —
Chocolate from San Francisco, pe
cans from Texas and a baking
method from Switzerland go into
chocolate-chip cookies that were
inspired in the Arkansas Governor’s
Mansion.
Visiting die mansion kilchen
when his father, U.S. Sen. Dale
Bumpers, was chief executive in the
early 1970s, Brent Bumpers
watched long-time mansion cook
Liza Ashley at her craft.
The memory of those cookies
stayed with Bumpers, 34, and he
started talking about going into the
cookie business with his childhood
friend and college roommate, Sam
DeWitt, 32.
In the late 1970s, they became se
rious about the project, experiment
ing with ingredients and recipes,
baking three times a week after
hours at a sandwich shop in North
Little Rock. The result: Brent &
Sam’s Handmade Chocolate Chip
Cookies.
“We just talked about it kiddingiy,
and finally, we started baking,”
Bumpers said. “The more we baked,
the more serious we got.”
There were lots of cookies given
away in those days at Bumpers’ law
office and at Southwestern Bell
where DeWitt worked.
The first sales were at stands in
the state and federal government of
fice buildings near the state Capitol
in Little Rock, and at the sandwich
shop where they baked.
They spent hours experimenting
with different types of flour, choco
late chips, pecans and baking meth
ods. T he two have settled on a recipe
that includes Ghirardelli chocolate
chips from San Francisco and pecans
from Comanche, Texas. The cookies
are baked in a Swiss oven with rotat
ing racks.
The sales volume has grown from
about four cases a week — 48 hags —
to a couple of hundred cases a week,
DeWitt said. Bumpers, an assistant
U.S. attorney since 1981, declined to
disclose sales figures, but said the
company recently exceeded the
break-even point.
Bumpers and DeWitt were able to
convince a Safeway manager to take
a chance on the cookies. When they
sold well, the doors were opened to
other chain stores.
fhey admit the price —i
from $2.59 to S2.89 for a
pound — turns off some people,
“The price is high, but wed#
have any more markup on iliu
cookies than Keehler or Dnno
Hines Soft Batch," DeWitt said, 1
labor-intensive.”
Lac
DeWitt cjnit his job in October

ness. In May 1986, they opa

Biologi$t$ believe
endangered fish
may come off list
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) —
A fish good for eating mosquitos and
a fish good for eating were teetering
on the brink of extinction 20 years
ago when biologists in New r Mexico
and Arizona came to their rescue.
The Gila trout and the Gila top-
minnow were the victims of habitat
degradation and competition from
wildly successful non-native fish.
Both species were listed as endan
gered on March 1 1, 1967.
Now', after two decades of recov
ery work by the U.S. Fish and Wild
life Service, the U.S. Forest Service,
the Arizona Game and Fish Depart
ment and the New Mexico Depart
ment of Game and Fish, there is
hope.
T he two species will be proposed
for removal from the federal endan
gered species list and downgraded to
the threatened category.
“We will be proposing a downlist
ing this year of both the Gila trout
and the Gila topminnow,” said Jim
Johnson, chief of the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service’s endangered spe
cies office in Albuquerque.
“At this point, it seems unlikely
that any catastrophy would com
pletely extinct either species,” he
said.
Johnson said the downlisting
process usually takes about two years
to complete.
“I know of no other species in the
continental United States that have
been downlisted or delisted because
of concerted recovery efforts,” he
said.
Johnson said the downlisting
shows the man on the street that en
dangered species aren't just put on a
list and forgotten.
“We are working to recover the
spec ies, and it’s nice to be able to sav
we have a suctress story that we al
most sweated blood over,” Johnson
said. “We did sweat. We would carry
trout from one stream to another by
horseback or your back.”
Despite the- success, biologists cau
tion that the Gila trout and the Gila
topminnow still must Ik* carefully
monitored.
“In essence, we have met some
goals that have more to do with satis
fying the bureaucracy than satisfy
ing the needs of the fish,” said David
Propst, New Mexico Department of
Game and Fish endangered s|>ec ies
biologist helping the Gila trout.
Bean Hendrickson, native fish bi
ologist for the Arizona Game and
Fish Department, said that although
federal criteria for downlisting the
Gila topminnow have been met, “we
at least have to stay on top of these
and watch them very carefully.”
The biologists are worried about
the ef fect of fluctuations of wet and
dry periods on the survival of both
species.
A wet cycle in New Mexico and
Arizona the past eight years has
helped the fish, but a drought could
dry up streams now providing
homes for them, the biologists said.
The Gila trout once was wide
spread throughout mountain
streams in the Gila River Basin of
southwestern New Mexico, plus a
population introduced in southeast
ern Arizona. The Gila topminnow
once w'as the most abundant fish in
Arizona, and some lived in New
Mexico.
