Missing girl back with family Gregsonhas taught art for 11 years and said Pearson's perceptions and dedication are rare. He writes essays or poems to accompany some drawings.

In one piece, Pearson cut holes from the centers of railroad lights he had drawn so that moving the paper causes a blinking effect. He has drawn scenes to create an entire city. He also draws whimsical characters or video sequences, but most work reflects his strong interest in intricate and connected structures. Pearson is autistic and attends special-education classes in addition to regular classes. He is already earning high marks.

Teacher Edna Dees said Pearson could earn an A in her math class this semester. "He is a very hard worker," she said. "I wish I had more students like him." "He has worked on his strengths. He learned how to read when he was 4," said his mother, Grace Pearson. Mode up I JUL TKC speaks with a formality more common to a professor than a high school student.

Trains have been his passion since he was about 5, when his grandmother started working forAmtrak. He was drawing and writing his thoughts about Tucson train crossings when his work caught the eye of Bob Wineland, an exceptional-education teaching as- sistant. Wineland, a former elevator mechanic, is fascinated by Pearson's ability to reveal the logic in complex systems. Wineland brought Pearson's art to the attention of several teachers and administrators. Gregson said she was grateful Wineland took the time to appreciate something beautiful.

Pearson has the potential to take his art to a higher level if he continues to explore new materials and techniques, she said. "I don't mean a traditional higher level, but to the level where his work will be noticed in the art world." I Contact reporter Inger Sandal at 573-4115 or at isandalazstarnet.com.

Van laden with 1,100 pounds of pot seized ARIZONA DAILY STAR U.S. Border Patrol agents stopped a van with U.S. government plates on the Tohono O'odham Nation Monday morning and found 1,100 pounds of marijuana inside. Agents were alerted to the suspicious vehicle from sensors planted in the desert floor, agency spokesman Ryan Scudder said. The white van that the agents stopped came out onto Federal Route 19, south of Sells, at the right time and place to be the vehicle that set the sensors off, Scudder said.

When agents called dispatchers to check the license plate numbers, it turned out the plates were supposed to be for a pickup used by a recruiter for the U.S. Marine Corps, Scudder said. They were on a white, 1996 Ford van that otherwise looked like a government vehicle, Scudder said. Inside were 23 bundles of marijuana weighing more than half a ton. Only one person, the driver, was aboard the van, and he was a member of the Tohono O'odham Nation, said Deputy Chief Patrol Agent Ed Pyeatt.

The Border Patrol would not name the driver but said he was taken into custody by agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration.
