Joey Thomas First, I will own up to my discrepancy in our May issue. Our story thumbnails indicated that the cover story would appear on page 11 when in fact it was on page 18 as the index stated. Secondly, “Hello!” Here is to hoping you all are more than well, higher than happy, and sailing with the struggles every new day offers up. I want to welcome Dr. Terrell Tebbitts to our cast of writers. He is penning a Book Review for our pages and we are glad to have him and his work on board. We will be alternating Cherri Rodgers with Hannah Rogers every month to accommodate the addition and to keep them both on board as we love their work, as well! This month I have the honor of covering James Yuri Carlyle and his journey to Master Bladesmith.

Last month, we began discussing smart thermostats and if you actually need one for your home. This month, we continue with information that hopefully will help you determine if you should install one in your home for your family’s needs and lifestyle. Smart gadgets often refer to the ability to connect to other Wi-Fi powered devices, such as your smart phone, thus allowing them to ‘talk’ to each other. One advantage of a smart thermostat is that you can adjust the heat or air in your home, before you head home from work. Not only can a smart thermostat be installed in your home, but it can be useful for controlling the temperature in a vacation home. These type of thermostats offers convenience, but it can help conserve energy, saving you money on your electric bills. It ensures that your HVAC system will not be running unnecessarily when no one is home, but it has the ability to monitor and control temperature remotely, as well as learning your family’s preferences and adjust accordingly. When installed and used correctly, this unit can save up to 25% on your monthly utility bills. “Geofencing” is available on some models, which is a GPS-based feature. This feature knows when you are on your way home from work and adjusts the temperature before your arrival. Essentially, there is probably never again a need for you to adjust the temperature setting from the thermostat with such a device as a smart thermostat. When researching smart thermostats, consider your existing smart home system, if you have one. The latest models do a great job automating and monitoring your home’s temperature settings, because they are more integrated with your home. When shopping for the right thermostat, be sure to select one that is compatible with your existing smart-home system. If you do not have a smart-home system, be sure to select one compatible with your system, focusing on your preferred system if you plan to upgrade to a smarthome system in the future. Fortunately, many smart thermostats will connect to a wide variety of systems, rather than just one standard system. Hiring a professional electrician to install your smart thermostat is highly recommended. Smart thermostats often require a C-wire, and many newer homes are now built with C-wire. C-wire offers 24 volts of electricity to power features, such as Wi-Fi communication and lighted touch screens. But there are smart thermostats that offer an alternative method of powering the unit. ELEVEN YEARS STRONG
If you are considering a smart thermostat, do your homework and research it thoroughly. Be sure it is what you need for your home and lifestyle. If you do plan to upgrade to a smart-home system in the near future, plan ahead and select the correct model for your preferred system. And lastly, seek professional advice. May you stay warm and cool! N

Unity Health Harris Grandparents Raising Children Michelle Foshee is a wife, mother, dog lover, and Newport native who promotes Unity Health Harris Medical Center to improve the quality of health and well-being for the communities we serve through compassionate care. She is a graduate of the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and prior to joining Unity Health, she worked in sales and marketing in Little Rock. She challenges herself and others to be Health Centered – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
Becky Dexter, LPC “Oh, I’m so tired! It can’t be 5:30 already!” Jennifer stumbled out of bed. “There is a reason that 54 year olds don’t have babies.” The 18 month old had been up several times that night. The 10 year old took forever to fall asleep, and the 9 year old woke up with nightmares. “Come on Jennifer…..you aren’t that old”! And then the inevitable thoughts of “where did I go wrong”, and “I thought my daughter was doing good”. Brittany was an honor student. She had dreams of being a nurse. He seemed like a nice guy at first. But he got her addicted, and that was it. The 10 year old was dropped off by her daughter with “mom can you just keep him for the weekend?” The 9 year old came to live with her after her daughter ended up in jail; he went into DHS custody, and she had to fight to get him. She thought that was it. The kids were finally older. No more diapers. Both in school. She knew that her daughter had had another baby. She thought she was finally with a good man. She thought her daughter was doing good. But then out of the blue DHS called her and told her that her daughter was in jail again, and that if she didn’t take her granddaughter then she would go into foster care. What do you say to that?? You say I’m coming, and you will figure it out later. She loves her grandchildren deeply. But she never thought she would be doing this again. She raised her children already. Her son has 2 kids of his own, and she is “grandma” to them, but “mom” to her other grandchildren. She thought that she would be grandma to everyone. Get them for a day or two. Spoil them. Send them home. She never expected to have to do homework, chores, bedtime, rules, and consequences again. And raising a kid is different now. “This isn’t the same world I raised my kids in!” with changes such as the internet, social media, and virtual school. Jennifer is one of many grandparents raising grandchildren. Many children are also being raised by an aunt or uncle, great-aunt or uncle, older sibling, or even a great-grandparent. According to Census.gov “The percentage of the population age 30 and over who are raising grandchildren is higher in states that have higher opioid prescribing rates, according to a new working paper, entitled “The Opioid Prescribing Rate and Grandparents Raising Grandchildren: State and County Level Analysis. This research uses both survey estimates from the 2012-2016 American Community Survey five-year data and administrative 2016 Opioid Prescribing Data from
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Four states — Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi — have among the highest rates on both measures – opioid prescribing and adults age 30 and over raising grandchildren -- while Minnesota has one of the lowest.” Ways WE can support Grandparents raising grandkids: Offer a listening ear. Sometimes there isn’t much to say. DON’T OFFER ADVICE UNLESS SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR. Just listen. Offer to bring food or give a gift card. Offer to help practically by babysitting their grandkids so that the grandparent or grandparents can go out by themselves or ask to come over and entertain the kids so that they can do things that they need to around the house. Have clothes and supplies that your own kids and grandkids have outgrown or don’t need anymore? See if they need them! Don’t forget them. Grandparents raising grandchildren are caught in a world where they are much older than the parents of their grandkids’ friends. They don’t get invited with the younger parents. They also might not get invited to the events they would usually go to with people their own age since they have young kids. Invite them to things. Ask about the kids. Don’t assume that they don’t want to do things because of the kids. N

Tales of a Transplanted Fashionista Spring Break Adventures
Leigh Keller is a high school guidance counselor at Batesville High School and the director of the BHS Glass Slipper Project. She lives in Batesville with her son, Cole, and a pack of dogs.
Something about the first hint of spring makes me want to jump into my car and go on a road trip, really any road trip. In my Pinterest-ing (not a word), I had discovered an elephant sanctuary in Texas, and booked both of us a ticket. We began counting down the days until spring break, planning our snacks, and the other things we wanted to do on our getaway. I had planned this short trip literally around our trip to the elephant sanctuary, and it’s difficult to compare anything to that experience after you get to hug an elephant. I had decided that we would go a little south to San Antonio, since I hadn’t been there myself since I was a little kid. We did the typical trip to the Alamo. Cole was not impressed, but we were able to rent scooters and explore the city a little bit, hitting some touristy spots, like the River Walk, and making a special trip to the wonderful San Antonio zoo. Food is always one of my favorite parts of vacation, but never Cole’s. Let’s not forget our beach vacay of 2020 when he discovered that cheeseburgers were his new favorite thing, and ate one at every seafood restaurant. He kind of did the same thing on this trip, eating chicken tenders at one place, a plain chicken taco at another (much to the horror of our waiter) a cheeseburger at the Zoo, and then a Whataburger on the way home (old habits die hard). Many of the local places I couldn’t wait to try were closed for different reasons (mostly Covid related closures), or were crazy booked. Two of my favorites were @mitierracafesa , mainly for the ambience!! I had my street corn in a cup while we waited to be seated, and the market atmosphere outside on a Sunday felt so much like Mexico. They had food stands and vendors, and I tried to talk Cole into buying
a luchador mask. He sadly declined. I had the Enchiladas Verdes, and their salsa was divine. By the time we left we were too stuffed to have a look at their bakery items. But those are a must see if you love sweets. Our last evening we rode our scooters to eat by the water at @casariosa , the first restaurant to build on the river walk. It does so much for my soul to eat next to the water, even though the water was green, and the ducks were waiting patiently for our chips. I had the shrimp tacos, and we had the most amazing sopapillas for dessert! There is a roaming mariachi band who will serenade you (for a small fee). We got there really early, around 5:30, and only waited ten minutes for a water side table. I’m making my list for a trip back, so you all tell me your favorites! We ran out of time to try everything, but it was just so much fun, from start to finish. Hear me out, single mamas of littles. You may think you can’t navigate traveling on your own with your babies, but Cole has been my #1 travel buddy since I prayed him into existence. My own parents loved to load up and take a road trip, and so I think they programmed me to feel the same way. There’s such freedom that comes from driving with the windows down, singing at the top of your lungs, stopping for fun snacks, and exploring a new spot together. Eat the food, rent the scooters, hug the elephants, because your child gets one sweet childhood with you, don’t waste it N

ASUN Registered Nursing Students Selected for St. Bernards Sponsorship Mallory Jordan, Arkansas State University-Newport and St. Bernards Healthcare announce the ASUN Traditional RN Student Sponsorship recipients. Those recipients are Abby Barnett, of Marked Tree; Payton Jones, of Jonesboro; Allie Prince, of Jonesboro; Kierra Rose, of Jonesboro; Aaliyah Ross, of Jonesboro. St. Bernards Healthcare is partnering with ASU-Newport to provide a pathway for Registered Nursing students to transition from student to professional. By committing their skills to St. Bernards, these students will have dedicated clinical space at the hospital, receive automatic employment upon graduation and a monthly stipend. The sponsorship also includes a variety of bonus opportunities. This type of partnership helps ASUN students learn directly from future employers and industry leaders. Dr.
Typhanie Myers, Dean for Nursing and Health Professions, said this partnership is not only great for students but the hospital as well. “I am thrilled about the pathway created for our Traditional Registered Nursing students with St. Bernard’s Healthcare,” Dr. Myers said. “Students are not only gaining the knowledge and skills needed to become excellent nurses, but they also learn the proper processes and procedures to become outstanding employees at St. Bernard’s. The pathway secures our students’ clinic spots, helps to alleviate their financial burden of gaining a higher education, and guarantees them employment after successfully becoming a licensed registered nurse. In return, St. Bernard’s gains wellqualified employees who are already acclimated to their facilities and processes. It is a win-win!” N

Seniors, Can We Talk? Customize Your Options
Caroline Beauchamp is a local insurance agent for M & P Insurance & Investment Services. She offers personalized life and health insurance solutions and is known for her widelypublished informational column, ‘Caroline, Can We Talk?’.
Last month David, Betty’s single, charming cousin, and I talked about his retiring in June. Since he has been on his employer’s group plan, he had to enroll in Medicare Part A and Part B. He recently told me that he is officially on Medicare – he has a red, white, and blue Medicare card showing his ID number and that it is effective June 1. He also received a letter informing him of the cost of Part B. David said he wanted a plan that was easy to use and he would not have to check all the time to see if a provider/doctor was in or out of the network. And he did not want copays. He is describing a Medicare Supplement plan. We talked about several plans and the premiums in his county. David decided to enroll in Plan G. If he goes to a provider who accepts Medicare and has a Medicare approved procedure (no plastic surgery!), Plan G will provide 100% hospital coverage and picks up what his Medicare Part A does not pay. Whether he goes to the doctor or has doctor charges in the hospital, he will be responsible for the Part B deductible of $203 (a deductible is one time a calendar year). This Part B deductible is subject to change every January 1. (I have seen it go up, stay the same and go down.)
What about his prescriptions? Neither Medicare nor his Medicare Supplement cover outpatient prescriptions. David gave me a list of his prescriptions, the dosage, how often he takes each of them, how often he gets them refilled and the pharmacy he uses. After reviewing the 29 prescription plans available based on his prescriptions, David enrolled in a prescription plan. I thought David was fixed up until he told me about his recent dental appointment. During his nice routine checkup, the dentist suddenly informed him that he had a tooth that was going to need attention. He could get a root canal and crown to “rescue” that tooth and save a lot of money by avoiding a dental implant. That procedure would cost him about $2500. For most of us, that’s a lot of money to come up with on short notice! Of course, David wanted to know if Medicare or his Medicare Supplement would help him with those dental bills. Unfortunately, no (Medicare or a Medicare Supplement plan will only cover dental procedures if they are health related.) We talked about dental insurance and what it will and will not cover. Even though he will have to wait six (6) months to have the root canal and crown covered, he enrolled in a dental plan. Thank goodness his dentist saw that tooth issue early, so he has time to enroll in a dental plan and wait 6 months to have the work done. Then David asked if I could help a friend moving from California. Yes, just call 501-868-6650 and say “Caroline, can we talk?” N

Citizens Bank announces next generation of progressive leadership Sandy Starnes Citizens Bank, headquartered in Batesville, Arkansas, announced that effective immediately, Micah Beard is transitioning to Regional President of North Central Arkansas Market, where he will continue to support the bank’s mission to put people first. “Micah is the right person to lead our talented team of associates in the North Central Region,” said Adam Mitchell, President and CEO of Citizens Bank. “Through his leadership, Citizens Bank was one of the first banks in the region to originate PPP loans for our customers, demonstrating his true commitment to community banking.” A native of Monticello, Beard attended the University of Arkansas at Monticello, where he received a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance and Accounting. He later obtained specialized degrees from the Graduate School of Banking at
Louisiana State University and the Stonier Graduate School of Banking at the University of Pennsylvania. Beard has been employed at the bank since 2008, and has more than 25 years of experience in banking. He is a member of the Rotary Club of Batesville and is a Board Member for the Batesville Area Chamber of
Commerce, and serves on the White River Health System Advisory Board and the Vital Link Board. Beard continues a legacy of community-focus both in his career and throughout his personal life. He and his wife Jennifer live in Batesville with their daughter, Avri, age 9. As outgoing president of the Arkansas Sheriff Youth Ranch’s (ASYR) Board of Trustees, Beard has overseen two of the organization’s most successful years. He helped the ASYR secure a PPP grant, providing crucial margin during the pandemic. Beard also helped by increasing Citizens Bank’s matching gift by 50% to encourage even more donations, which ultimately enabled ASYR to have its largest single day of giving in the organization’s history. For his community involvement, the Batesville Chamber of Commerce is celebrating him as one of its 2021 Spirit of Independence honorees. N

Harris Foundation Receives Donation and Announces Naming of New Center Sheridan Chadwell The Joe and Helen Harris Foundation in Newport, Arkansas announced the recent receipt of a $10,000 donation from the Cranshaw Corporation based in Delaware. The Cranshaw Corporation is a privately held grant making foundation that focuses on the education of children. In making the announcement, Joe and Helen Harris Foundation Board President Bryce Shelton said, “We are extremely honored to receive this most generous donation from the Cranshaw Corporation. We are pleased the Cranshaw Corporation recognizes the work our Foundation is doing to create a program of work that will benefit the children in the Newport and Jackson County communities.” In March of this year, the Foundation announced plans to develop and open a new community center in Newport. The new Center will be located in the old National Guard Armory building on Fairground Road in Newport, directly across from George Kell Park. Foundation Names New Center “Because of the generous support our Foundation received from the Harris family in memory of their parents, Joe and Helen Harris, we are pleased to announce today the naming of our new Center,” said Shelton. “Our new center will be The Joe and Helen Harris Center for Opportunities.” The Joe and Helen Harris Foundation was founded in 2016 with an initial endowment of $50,000 from the family of Joe and Helen Harris. Joe and Helen were residents of Newport, where they both worked and raised their family. They were passionate about the growth, development and success of all children in the Newport schools and throughout the community. Their children, Dan Harris and Ruth Harris Mulvany, believed in their parents’ life-long mission of caring for children and established the Foundation in memory of their parents. The new Joe and Helen Harris Center for Opportunities will create an environment where children will be able to learn, play, and develop both academic and creative skills. “We believe the name of our new Center embodies the mission of Joe and Helen Harris,” said Shelton. “We not only want to meet the needs of the children in our community, we want to create opportunities within them that will help them become successful young adults and optimistic members in our
society.” Plans for the Center include mentoring programs for children K-6 grades, indoor sports activities such as basketball and baseball/softball batting cages, a computer lab, and a creative art space. The Center for Opportunities is scheduled to officially open in Summer of 2021. A preview event for the new Center for Opportunities was held Saturday, April 24th. “Operation Transformation” was the theme of the event in keeping with the rich history of the old National Guard Armory. The open house showcased the vision of the new Center, the mentoring programs, and offered children the opportunity to participate in some of the new sports activities. “We were excited for the public to see the vision we have developed for our new Center for Opportunities,” said Sheridan Chadwell, Projects Administrator for the Foundation. “Our goal for this event was to create awareness of our newest project and to raise needed funding for the operations of the new Center.” Center Announces “Harris Heroes Program” “We are also announcing our Harris Heroes Program,” said Chadwell. “The Harris Heroes Program embodies our vision for the children in our community, while embracing the rich history of our new building, which was the location of the old National Guard Armory in Newport.” “Harris Heroes will become a part of our Mission Team for opening and operating our Center for Opportunities in Newport,” said Chadwell. “Our goal is to raise $40,000 through our Harris Heroes Program. For more information on becoming a Harris Hero, or about the Joe and Helen Harris Center for Opportunities, please contact Sheridan Chadwell, Projects Administrator at info.theharrisfoundation@gmail.com or 870-512-8565.

Book Review
Just Like You by Nick Hornby Terrell Tebbetts has taught English at Lyon College for over 50 years.
British novelist Nick Hornby has a large following on both sides of the Atlantic among readers of his fiction and among movie-goers who’ve enjoyed the films made from his novels About a Boy and High Fidelity and his memoir Fever Pitch. He has won that following in part because of his challenges to modern stereotypes. In About a Boy, for example, he subtly took on the radical feminist claim that males are essentially self-indulgent and predatory and females are essentially nurturing: he portrays Will Freeman, who fits the stereotype at the beginning, but then he adds another male, a boy, through whom Will matures into a nurturer, a person much better than a merely “free man.” Hornby has also won readers by giving them characters who change through the course of his novels. Will Freeman is an early example, and an even earlier one is Rob Gordon in High Fidelity, another “free man” who comes to acknowledge that “I’ve been thinking with my guts since I was fourteen years old, and frankly speaking, between you and me, I have come to the conclusion that my guts have sh*t for brains.” If readers come to Hornby for such qualities in his new novel, Just Like You (Riverhead Books, 2020), he will disappoint them. Instead of challenging modern stereotypes, he simply employs them in this flat novel in which characters never change. He gives readers a sexually liberated woman, Lucy, as one of his two central characters, 42-year old white divorcee with two school-age sons (ages 9 and 11) who heads the English department at a London high school. He adds a single 25-year-old black man, Joseph, who has not attended
university and has no career yet, though he wants to become a DJ. However, he does work steadily at several jobs—including as a clerk at a neighborhood butcher shop whose customers sometimes ask him to babysit. Lucy and Joseph meet at the shop, they’re attracted to each other, she asks him to babysit, her sons love him because he is expert at all their video games, and, predictably, Lucy and Joseph become lovers. In the process Hornby seems to endorse stereotypes beloved by the class Lucy represents, the same college-educated secular liberals Hornby has challenged elsewhere. But here he offers no challenge to assumptions such as Children sail through their parents’ divorces totally unaffected. Children have no issues with new men entering their divorced mothers’ lives. A liberated middle-aged woman can have a happy, long-lasting relationship with a trophy partner. Has Hornby seen the studies on the children of divorce? Where in this novel is the self-blame some children experience? Where is their anger at and alienation? How can Hornby never even hint that trophy relationships exploit the younger partner and uncommitted relationships create anxiety and fear of abandonment? Hornby gives readers flat, unchanging characters who never question or change their ideas or behaviors. They clearly need to, as their relationship has disturbing psychological overtones. Lucy’s attraction to a man young enough to be her son and who enjoys the games and sports her sons enjoy has incestuous implications. When fathers go absent in families, elder sons sometimes begin fulfilling the role left vacant, becoming “little fathers,” quasi-partners of their mothers. Yet even when Lucy’s high-school students whisper that her live-in lover is barely out of school and one tells her
ELEVEN YEARS STRONG
eyeonmag.com
in passing that he is “not interested,” Lucy never questions whether her attraction to Joseph is a displacement of her attraction to her elder son. Joseph’s attraction to a woman who is the same age as his mother has its own incestuous implications. Joseph’s father abandoned the family, and Joseph still lives at home with his mother. Lucy knows Joseph’s mother is her age and worries about it, but only because she fears being a motherly age will make her less attractive to Joseph, not because she suspects Joseph’s attraction to her is a displacement of his attraction to his mother. What a comedown from Hornby’s earlier novels in which characters do suffer from their blindnesses and mistakes and mature into fuller human beings. This novel is fantasy fiction. N

Cover Story Joseph Thomas is a native of Grubbs, a graduate of ASUN and owns and runs Eye On Magazine with his powerhouse wife, Kimberlee. He is the graphic designer, editor and one of the various writers of this publication. He is elevated by five children, five grandchildren and is trying to waste less time everyday writing the next great novel.
James Yuri Carlyle One day I was up for my morning workout when my phone rang. A Mister Tommy Rankin called to tell me about a young man he admired and thought would make a great cover for our magazine. He proceeded to inform me that Arkansas has more Master Blade Smiths than any other state and that Dequeen, Arkansas is the Blade Smithing capital of the world. It was a great conversation about a remarkable young man. That young man is James Yuri Carlyle. Carlyle and his twin brother were born in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine and adopted before they could remember what it might have been like. For those uncertain of the geography, Ukraine is northeast of Romania, southeast of Poland, due east of Germany and France in Europe. Dnepropetrovsk, previously Yekaterinoslav until 1926, is the city and industrial center situated on the River Dnieper in Ukraine according to the www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/ dnepropetrovsk. Dale and Carol Carlyle became the proud parents who taught the boys to hunt and fish in DeQueen, Arkansas. James told me: “Mom and Dad are both from Arkansas and brought my brother, Jack, and I here to raise. I loved being outdoors and took a liking to hunting and fishing. As I got older, I started making stuff with my hands all the time. Arkansas has a deep historic tie to knives and most importantly the Bowie knife. I came across a local knife makers meeting that was held every second Thursday of the month. I met custom knife makers of all skill levels and I got acquainted with Jerry Fisk Master Bladesmith. I was honored with being his last formal apprentice through a grant from University of Arkansas. After that, I knew what my passion was for. I’ve been professionally making and selling custom knives for eight years now. I’ve attended many custom knife shows around the state and few out of state. I moved to Jonesboro, Arkansas for my higher education at Arkansas State and received my Bachelor’s in Science and Mathematics. During my college years, I achieved the rank of Journeyman smith through the American Bladesmith Society in the fall of 2017. I’m currently working at Auger Dans Trucks in Trumann, Arkansas. My goal is to spread the knowledge and passion of bladesmithing to everyone who is willing to carry on this dying art. I’m currently working towards my Teaching Licensure of Mathematics and my Mastersmith ranking. I take custom orders and if you’d
like to see how this craft is done just come by and see me at 21460 Old Winery Rd. Trumann, Arkansas! The state holds many custom knife events throughout the year. In fact, in the American Bladesmith Society, over 10% of all Mastersmiths reside in Arkansas and Jerry Fisk trained over half of the current masters. I know of two great places to learn this craft, American Bladesmith Society school at Texarkana College Arkansas, and James Black Bladesmithing school of UofA in historic Washington Arkansas. I currently take students who want to learn any part of this craft.” N

In The Field with Randy Midseason Nitrogen Management
Randy Chlapecka is an agronomist with Farmers Supply Association, retired from the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture - Cooperative Extension Service where he served as a County Extension Agent for over 32 years. He is an avid ASU Red Wolves fan and has announced Newport Greyhound sporting events since 1996. He also enjoys vegetable gardening.
The rice crop is spread out in development as we enter June. There is still some seed in the bag while the earliest rice will be approaching midseason soon. True midseason (or half-inch internode) is not quite as big of a deal as it used to be. We’ve learned a lot more about midseason nitrogen management over the last several years and research has shown that we don’t necessarily have to be putting out that midseason shot between green ring and half-inch internode. Also, with a large percentage of our rice now being hybrid we know that it benefits more from a boot nitrogen shot than a midseason shot. Back in the old days we used to recommend 2 midseason applications with one at half-inch internode and a second 10-14 days later. Then we went to one midseason shot between green ring (beginning
internode elongation) and half-inch internode. I often used to get the question as to whether we needed to go ahead and put that application out by half-inch even if it hadn’t been long since the preflood application. I would tell them yes because we didn’t have the research to say otherwise. The University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture now has solid research that shows it takes at least 3 weeks for the rice plants to take up that big preflood application. Because of this, there is no need and it is not beneficial to make the midseason application prior to the point that 3 weeks is up. This research shows the midseason application is most beneficial when made 4 to 5 weeks after the preflood application has been incorporated by the flood. Research has also confirmed the benefits of the boot shot for hybrids. This recommendation calls for 30 units (65 pounds urea/acre) to be made between late boot (flag leaf collar visible) and first heads popping. Recent work showed increased yield and milling resulting in a $20/ acre net return. It has been reported that there is less lodging from delaying the final application to this late stage as well.

Thyme Enough Classic Shrimp Scampi
Nelson and Sandy Barnett met in college. They have been happily married for 58 years and are still having fun cooking and living! Find Sandy’s newly published thriller Dead in the Shadow of Doubt on Amazon.com.
Can you hear it? The beach? It’s calling! We’ve talked to a couple of people just in the last day or so who said, almost breathlessly, “We’re leaving tomorrow for the beach!” Well, Nelson and I aren’t leaving tomorrow for the beach. Maybe later in the summer. However, the beach obviously is tampering with our culinary taste buds because for the past ten days I’ve been cooking seafood. In truth, most of it has been more New Orleans French Quarter (seafood gumbo, crawfish etouffee) than coastal, but nonetheless, here’s a recipe that’ll you’ll want to take with you to your favorite beach, wherever that might be … or you know what, you can make it right here, in Batesville, right dab in the middle of North Central Arkansas. Classic Shrimp Scampi (Note: Serves 4 in 15 minutes. Yeah, that’s sorta true if you have a Ruby (remember Ruby from Upstairs Downstairs?) who has shelled and deveined the shrimp for
you ahead of time.) Ingredients 2 Tablespoons Butter 4 Tbsps Olive Oil 4 Garlic cloves minced ½ Cup dry White wine or Broth 3/4 Teaspoon salt, or to taste 1/8 tsp. Crushed red pepper flakes, again or to taste ¾ lbs large shrimp, shelled 1/3 Cup chopped parsley Freshly squeezed juice of half a lemon. Preparation: Step 1- In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil, add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add Wine or Broth, salt, red pepper flakes and plenty of white or black pepper and bring to a simmer. Let wine reduce by half about 2 minutes. Step 2- Add shrimp and sauté until they just turn pink, 2 to 4 minutes depending upon their size. Stir in parsley and lemon juice and serve over pasta (we used fettucine and it was a good size for this dish) or accompany with a good loaf (homemade if you’re married to Nelson) of crusty bread. Yumm, and with a bit of sand in your sandals! N
